Here, my brain chip receiver is 25 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.039 working very well, and Vladimir Putin is speaking to me 26 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.360 giving me all the instructions. Yes, he's written in cyrillic 27 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.360 to me. I hope you have a great, great rest 28 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.120 of the day, and let's get started. We've got much 29 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.039 to discuss. I want to welcome everyone, and if you're 30 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.039 watching on X, you can give us your comments inside 31 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.960 X and the Russian team can post your comments on 32 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.080 the screen. Also, you can watch us on Rumble and 33 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.479 on Rockfinn And don't forget while I get to fill 34 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.280 in for David coming over from the Liberty Conspiracy or MRCTV, 35 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.919 I want to remind you that you can donate to 36 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.159 the David Night Show. This is how his program works 37 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.879 and it works well thanks to you. Go to the 38 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.879 David Knight Show store and check everything out there, because 39 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.360 there's some great items and the Christmas Night album is great. 40 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:02.240 It's so much, so much fundless to so heartwarming and 41 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.080 it's just amazing his talent and integrity. So thanks for 42 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.840 being here, everybody. I'm honored to be filling in for David. 43 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.960 Had a little abbreviated theme there, and we're going to 44 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.960 get started right away. We've got a lot to cover, 45 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.360 to recap after Christmas. And in fact, on my program, 46 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.000 what I often do is I show a little billboard 47 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.800 on what we're going to be discussing that sort of thing. 48 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.280 So we'll do that and we'll play little music here 49 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.319 and there, maybe some Christmas music. I'm in my Christmas sweater. 50 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.879 The theme is still with me, the season is still 51 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.120 with me. So let's see what's on tap for the 52 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:40.680 David Night Show Friday, December twenty seventh, twenty twenty four. 53 00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.919 What a beautiful time of the year. Anytime is great. 54 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.039 As Jason Barker of Nights of the Storm says, any 55 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.080 day is Christmas Day for me. So I love that. 56 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.639 That's a great sentiment well today on the program. In fact, 57 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.599 on my show, I should mention. On my show, I 58 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.400 often have tonight on there and I'll say tonight tonight 59 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.159 tonight like Genesis. But I can't do that today, and 60 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.680 I use it as a way to actually make sure 61 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.520 that the Russian team is able to get the audio 62 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.759 from computer to going through to you and you give 63 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.479 the five by five and so on, and so I 64 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.959 can't do that because it's not Genesis singing tonight tonight tonight. 65 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.959 Sometimes we even have other musicians sneak through on this. 66 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.639 So let's see if we have some other guest musicians 67 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:40.199 stopping by. Yes, I get it. It's Genesis with Humpty 68 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.639 d a special guest. Just let me know if you've 69 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.920 got the audio. Okay, we'll check in on the five 70 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.399 y five. And I see already the Russian team is 71 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.199 telling me we have commenters over on X populating X. 72 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.279 I appreciate it. Everybody I can't believe is there. That 73 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.160 is his nom de guerre. And we've also got good morning, 74 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.920 guard Glad, Glad, I'm here. Glad, I'm glad, I'm here. 75 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.279 Putin I think is what it says. Martin Thorn. Thank 76 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.959 you Martin, and happy morning to you, my friend. Great 77 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.240 to see you there. And I've got something else there 78 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.279 and I'm not quite sure what that is, but you 79 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.920 can check out the link if you want to over 80 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.079 there on X. And I also want to say hi 81 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.319 to the great rock fan crowd and the Rumble crowd 82 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.480 and everybody who goes to visit after the fact. If 83 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.160 you do get the chance, check out David Knight's gab 84 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.480 feed because he posts the whole team at the David 85 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.439 Knight Show, posts the shows and segments and the entire 86 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.319 shows and audios as well, and you can check that 87 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.759 out on his gab. Lots of people follow David on 88 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.759 gab and of course on his ex at Liberty Terarian, 89 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:45.800 lots of people follow him there. And I want to 90 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.519 say hello to Octo Spook and Karen Carpenter and Greg 91 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.560 Talent and so many of the wonderful folks who are 92 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.319 Oh dougalug Hi dougal ug are populating rock Fann what 93 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.839 a great home, as well as all the folks over 94 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.680 at Rumble. I always say it looks like fruit stripe 95 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.680 gum at Rumble, all the colors and it gets me 96 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.839 thinking of those wonderful flavors of fruit stripe gum. So 97 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.720 let's look at what is on tap today. At ten 98 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.959 thirty we're going to be joined by Eric Peters of 99 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:17.800 Eric petersautos dot com. I highly recommend going to Eric's 100 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:22.160 website every morning. Maybe it's over breakfast, or it's at lunch, 101 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.800 or maybe you're just hanging out waiting somewhere in some 102 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.639 government line, a line created by government, And who knows, 103 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.680 there are a lot of lines that are created by government. 104 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.319 We might not even realize it, like the waiting line 105 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:40.759 to get nitrogen fertilizer or a baby formula, those lines, 106 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.680 you know, sort of like Frederick Bassia, the economist from 107 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.519 the nineteenth century in France, said, it is what is 108 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.560 seen and what is not seen, the opportunities lost due 109 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.519 to government. Well, what are our opportunities today? On the program, 110 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.879 we'll start things off with the Big Story, recapping post 111 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.759 Christmas stories and Christmas stories. A couple major ones that 112 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.519 are breaking just over the past day that David didn't 113 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.600 get the opportunity to discuss with you yesterday Live. So 114 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.519 I want to give you one of the major ones 115 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.399 that has a bearing on the socialistic welfare state in 116 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.519 the United States. That one of the major domestic policies 117 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.040 that started up under FDR. And if you can guess it, 118 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:26.519 throw it into the chat. Yes, it's you might call 119 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.279 it a Ponzi scheme. That'll give you a hint. And 120 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:33.560 then we'll look at do Trumper's adore Donald so much 121 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:37.199 that they blind themselves to the latest evidence of his 122 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:42.560 errors and the legacy of them. I've got some samples 123 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.519 that I showed on my streaming show on Liberty Conspiracy 124 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.079 last night at six o'clock Monday through Friday. Check us 125 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.720 out at Rumbull and Rockvin and my ex is at 126 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.560 Guard Goldsmith. That's at Guard Goldsmith. But on Liberty Conspiracy 127 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:59.120 last night, we checked it out and I thought there 128 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.000 was some terri observations from the folks in the chats, 129 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.839 and hopefully I had some salient observations as well, so 130 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.680 let me know. I didn't want to attack this person 131 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.399 too much, but I thought what he was saying about 132 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:16.079 Donald Trump was sort of emblematic of how people will. 133 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.680 They've pulled their blinders over their eyes and are just 134 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.519 counting on one guy to do so much. And to me, 135 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:28.399 that reflects a really dangerous position of so much collectivism 136 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.240 that has arisen on the United States system like tarnish 137 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:36.080 on silver over the years, just layer upon layer, strata 138 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:40.200 upon strata of collectivism that even many conservatives except, and 139 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.679 now they want the one guy to fix everything. You know, 140 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.000 I might be going a little bit too far. Maybe 141 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.480 I'm being unfair, but we'll see. We'll talk about Trump's 142 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.759 Christmas message and whether or not it lacks or has 143 00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:00.399 any sort of authenticity or any believability, look at the 144 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.240 chaos in Syria. We'll also i know, also connected to 145 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.399 Donald Trump, which many people don't want to discuss, and 146 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.159 we'll also discuss and I'll show you on an MRCTV video. 147 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.399 The reactions on YouTube are a perfect example of it. 148 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:19.320 It's an exercise in societal blindness. I think in many cases, 149 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.360 not to say that I am blessed with any sort 150 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.360 of great insight, but I have a different viewpoint and 151 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.120 I think they're not seeing what I'm seeing. So we'll 152 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.639 look at ABC avoiding the New York City that should 153 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.759 be New York City subway murder by fire, while the 154 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.559 immigration issue grows more intense, give me some breaking news 155 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.120 on that, and we'll look at climate cult fascism. I 156 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.080 discussed this on the program last night. And there's a 157 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.039 new piece that I got to write for MRCTV and 158 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.200 it's out there, and I want to thank the editors. 159 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.879 I don't think they changed anything in that piece. It 160 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.519 just went so smoothly. It was so much fun to do, 161 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.399 and unfortunately it's about a very troubling subject again, the 162 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.399 rise of fascism in the United States and how they 163 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:08.000 steer people's behavior and habits by getting the Central Bank 164 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.799 funding and then sending that money out for their special favors. 165 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.759 So thanks everybody for being here on the David Night Show. 166 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.799 And I hope my attire is okay. I was gonna 167 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.600 wear my jacket, but I thought, no, you know, it's 168 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.919 holiday time, It's Christmas time. They even gave me a 169 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.320 Christmas hat from TD Bank. I know one of my 170 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.080 old high school friends works there, and so I hope 171 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.320 that you are ready for a terrific day, and I 172 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.759 hope that your Christmas time was very, very special. And 173 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:44.360 I do highly recommend David's record. It is just Christmas 174 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.240 Night is just so good. It's really good. He's got 175 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.799 amazing talent. So thanks for being there, everybody. Let's get 176 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.320 started and let's discuss, as Joe Piscopal would say from 177 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.600 New Jersey, the big story, story to big stories. 178 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.960 Stop, big story, big story. 179 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.159 Yes, I used to do impressions of Joe because we 180 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:10.559 both had curly hair. What is the big story. Well, 181 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.960 we've got a couple big stories actually, so let me 182 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:17.039 give you the first one, which is a breaking story, 183 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.879 and it has to do with how people want something 184 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.440 off of other people. And for that I often play 185 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.679 something like Gimme, Gimme Gimme by Black Flag, which is 186 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.960 pretty intense for a morning time on the David Knight Show. 187 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:36.759 But I also play another song by a band from Austin, Texas. 188 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.559 It's a little intro theme called Gimme, Gimme, Gimme some 189 00:11:42.600 --> 00:12:10.320 the Sons of Hercules. I'm a man can gain. 190 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:15.200 I'm gonna told your bands got you yon the rack man? 191 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:15.919 I think I'm down. 192 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.279 Damn yowl. 193 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:28.840 Na be, damn. 194 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.360 It get its O give me give me. 195 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:33.639 I wouldn't. 196 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:35.000 I wouldn't be. 197 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:36.840 Indeed, I haven't got. 198 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.360 If you're ever, If you're ever in San Antonio, Texas, 199 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:45.240 check out the Sons of Hercules. They are fantastic. I 200 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.000 love the name of the band. And I saw them 201 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:53.799 at this thing called the Vegas Shakedown and it was 202 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:57.039 a bunch of garage rock bands, and I tell you, boy, 203 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.960 it was great. Their lead singers this six foot five 204 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.159 I've American Indian Italian guy and he has like the 205 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:09.559 old sixties mop top hair and he's just there's a documentary. 206 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.919 Someone's making a documentary that's gonna be coming out at 207 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.960 the beginning of next year about the sons of Hercules. 208 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.279 Can't recommend him more highly. That album is called Hits 209 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.519 for the Misses. It's great, So gimme, gimme, gimme some 210 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:27.440 well at the at the expense of drawing out Unfortunately, 211 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.440 the guess is too long. Let's go with you got it. 212 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:38.360 It's social security, social security, Yes, the Social Security Wink 213 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:43.840 Wink Fairness Act. They passed it. They passed the so 214 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.720 called bipartisans So you know it's gonna be great. Both 215 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:53.360 wings of the of the of the vulture have come 216 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.200 down and they they swooped down towards you. So you 217 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.559 know the delivery of this parasitic thing has got to 218 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:05.399 be fun. Well. Unfortunately, no, because of course FDR started 219 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:10.120 the social security system. It's unconstitutional for those people who 220 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.679 sign on to the constitution, they claim it has authority 221 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.200 over anybody. It doesn't have authority over me. I didn't 222 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:19.120 sign it. That's just you know, I can't sign commands 223 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.960 to say I've got a group of people and we're 224 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.200 going to have control over you and we've written a 225 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.480 piece of paper. But for the politicians who swear the 226 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.159 oath to abide by it, maybe they might want to 227 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.799 read it once in a while, or at least if 228 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:33.639 they've read it, they might want to actually have the 229 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.639 integrity to abide by their oh's well, social Security, of course, 230 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.720 with FDR a big gimme. It was a Ponsi scheme 231 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.480 from the start. The first year social Security began. The 232 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.600 first woman who got her Social Security benefits got more 233 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.080 than she paid into it. And this is just another 234 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:57.240 cartoonish manifestation of it. Why because as I suspected when 235 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.200 I first saw this, I saw that it was for 236 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:07.279 public workers who don't pay. These particular workers don't pay 237 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.960 Social Security taxes. It's not drawn from their income, So 238 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:16.600 like the Earned income tax credit, this is actually money 239 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.879 that is just being handed to people. So here's the story. 240 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.120 It's one of these little little slide show things. It 241 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.360 starts with the picture of Rand Paul. So of course 242 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.440 we can always ask why does Ran Paul's wife have 243 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.120 stock and Rendeze beer. But Congress series, I do love 244 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.240 I do love his Festivus list, and I'm friends with him. 245 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.320 I haven't spoken them for quite a while, but he 246 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.320 approached me before he ran for Senate. We were at 247 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.879 the Green Dragon Inn in Boston at the very first 248 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.919 tea party since the tea parties that sort of brought 249 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.000 things back. And we were at the that's where the 250 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.279 Sons of Liberty did all their plotting, you know, Sam 251 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.679 Adams and all those guys. And it was the Green 252 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.919 Dragon and they've moved it in Boston. It's about one 253 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.360 hundred feet from where it originally stood, but it's essentially 254 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.360 the same building. And he said, do you think I 255 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.799 should run for Senate? And I was like, I don't know, Rand, 256 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:08.440 I don't know. And we used to talk on the 257 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.039 phone because his dad was friends with my dad. I 258 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.080 didn't know that. I interviewed Rand when his father was running. 259 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.279 And after the interview we walked out of the radio station. 260 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.080 He said, Hey, did your father know my dad? And 261 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:21.120 we start talking and he's like, yeah, your dad was 262 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.000 Paul Goldsmith, right, And I was like, yeah, how'd you 263 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.120 know that? He goes, yeah, yeah, they were friends. So 264 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.799 I haven't I haven't met Ron. Well here's the story. 265 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:32.759 Congress passed this thing called the Bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act, 266 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.360 So you know, it's got to be absolutely palatable despite 267 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:42.240 opposition from some Republicans some there you go, gop Ars, 268 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:44.639 I know, you know that there are lots of rhinos, 269 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.600 but this is just ridiculous, and I think it's a 270 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:51.200 manifestation of so much of the normalcy bias that people's 271 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.519 people have. When they hear about this, they say, well, 272 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.759 of course these people aren't going to get their social Security. No, 273 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.200 it's not THEIRS, it's not THEIRS. In fact, the social 274 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.759 security people are receiving now isn't actually THEIRS. It's taken 275 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.000 from younger people because it's all drawn away to put 276 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:12.240 into the larger budget. The bill repeals the windfall elimination 277 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:16.440 provision that's from the eighties, that was during the Reagan administration. 278 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.839 And I discussed this on Liberty Conspiracy when it was 279 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.440 before it was to hit a final vote. And so 280 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:27.319 what they did was they said, well, these government employees 281 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:31.359 don't have to pay their social Security, their social security, 282 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.640 so why should they be getting Social Security benefits for 283 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:39.319 something they haven't paid. Yeah, how about that, Well it 284 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.559 goes towards the first year of social Security. Again. For 285 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.400 more than forty years, these two laws have reduced benefits 286 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:49.480 for approximately two point eight million public service employees. You 287 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.599 see the way that they frame this. The legislation passed 288 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:57.559 both chambers of Congress. That's the way they frame it. Okay, 289 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:03.400 But the the Congressional Budget Office estimated that this is 290 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:08.039 going to cost one hundred and ninety billion dollars over 291 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.480 the next decade in a nation that already has thirty 292 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:17.400 six trillion in debt. So for those retired government, they're 293 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:23.519 already government parasites. They already work as government employees, and 294 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:27.319 they call them things like first responders. I'm sorry, but 295 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:33.720 police officers are not first responders. Statistically, armed civilians are 296 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.960 first responders. And as much as I appreciate many of 297 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:43.400 my friends who are police officers, I don't see logically, philosophically, 298 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:48.160 or morally that working for a system that tells people 299 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.119 they must pay for their own protection or else armed 300 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.839 thugs are going to come to their house and take 301 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.119 them away or take away their house. I don't see 302 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:01.920 that as protection, do you who? No, I call that 303 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:06.279 a protection racket. It's not good one hundred and ninety 304 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.400 billion dollars over the next decade to go to people 305 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.359 who didn't have that amount of money drawn from their 306 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:16.160 salaries in the first place. It's a gimme, and the 307 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:19.359 Congress passed it, so you might want to check in 308 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:25.640 to see how your congressperson or Senate person voted on that, 309 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:31.839 because it's not good and Ran Paul spoke out against it. 310 00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:37.279 Here is what he said before passing the legislation. Paul warned, 311 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:42.640 it speeds the bankruptcy of Social Security. Social Security is 312 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.279 due to go bankrupt in twenty thirty four. That's just 313 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:49.599 from demographics. It's already being drawn from like the vampires 314 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:52.640 of DC will do. This will speed it up by 315 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.960 a year or so. It's two hundred billion dollars added 316 00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.559 to a program that is already short of money. And 317 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:01.799 he added, and if you're going to add to its 318 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:07.400 mandate by expanding it, you should pay for it. Well, look, 319 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.440 they're very busy trying to buy weapons for the military 320 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.559 industrial complex or give other nation states money to buy 321 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.720 weapons from the military industrial complex. So who am I 322 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.839 to complain? Right, it's all in there in the Article 323 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.000 eight thousand of the Constitution. I read it one time 324 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:31.799 in the back of a cereal box. Oh it's dark laughter, 325 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.480 it's dark laughter. But let's do a quick recap of 326 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.160 a couple of the items that have come up since 327 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:43.720 Christmas and during Christmas. Actually, so Christmas Day and the 328 00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:47.359 day after. Let's discuss a couple of the major stories. 329 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.039 I want to offer these to you to get your 330 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.839 thoughts on this, because there are a couple that I'd 331 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.240 like to bring back, and one of them actually has 332 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:59.960 a direct bearing on Christmas as we celebrate it in society, 333 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:05.400 and I think it reflects something about society that perhaps 334 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.200 just like the acceptance of social Security is if that 335 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.480 is part of the American tradition, you know, welching off 336 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.079 of somebody else, having the government take your money for 337 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.640 your protection when you could have invested it yourself and 338 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.039 done much better. Ah, yeah, that's okay. And I love 339 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:25.960 these people who say they'll change social Security so that 340 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.319 the social Security money has to be invested in stocks. Well, 341 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:32.400 in that case, why don't you again just leave it 342 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.720 with the people rather than possibly gaming the system and 343 00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:40.440 investing it in stocks of corporations that are government favored. 344 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:47.079 How about that? Well, let's discuss something that is cultural societal. 345 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:52.079 And also let's just remember some great work of no 346 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.160 Illuminati pun intended, great work of David Knight. We're going 347 00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:37.759 to go with sanfrinitz Son to bring back the memory 348 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.160 Fred Stanford. He was always on the edge of retirement, 349 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:54.799 wasn't he. He was always on the edge of the 350 00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:58.279 heart attack. It's the big one, Elizabeth. I'm coming with 351 00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.839 his son Lamon. He always called big Dummy Man. That 352 00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:04.920 was based on a British British television show. Yeah it was. 353 00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:10.720 It was called Upstairs Downstairs. It's called Doctor Who because 354 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.039 Fred Sanford's the interior of his junk junk building was 355 00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.240 bigger on the inside than it was on the outside. 356 00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:18.599 By the way, I flew to England for the return 357 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:20.640 of Doctor Who. Flew over to England with a friend 358 00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:23.240 of mine and because I had friends who were gonna 359 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.440 start up working on the show. And I was disappointed. 360 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.599 Nothing nothing touches the Tom Baker era. And then right 361 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.039 after that as the John Purwey era of Doctor Who. 362 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.400 And they have just destroyed Doctor Who. It's really really sad. 363 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:40.400 It's all about wokeism. Oh, yes, let's talk about that 364 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.880 cultural stuff here in the United States and the wokism. Yes, 365 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.160 you might be familiar if you watch the David Knight Show, 366 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.440 you might be familiar with the fact that David Knight 367 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:55.799 got knocked off of YouTube a while back, quite a 368 00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:02.240 while back, because he produced a fantastic film which was heartwarming. 369 00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:06.279 It was instructional about the film, It's a Wonderful Life, 370 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:10.640 and it was instructional about the lie of the federal reserves, 371 00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:15.960 central central banking, fractional reserve banking, and the fraud of 372 00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:19.799 inflation that builds up the money supply and reduces the 373 00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:22.279 buying power of all the units that are out there, 374 00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:25.599 makes them all more and more units bidding on items, 375 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.839 drives off the prices. Very simple causes the boom bus 376 00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:32.799 cycle and malinvestment because people who get the money at 377 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:37.039 low interest will invest in it more recklessly. They'll hire 378 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.759 new people expecting more demand, and then eventually all the 379 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:43.559 prices get bit up, people pull back their spending and 380 00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:46.000 you get the bust where everything's got to be liquidated, 381 00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.279 like at the end of The Wizard of Oz you 382 00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:54.720 liquidated Arra. That's an intentional line. So David produced It's 383 00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:59.599 a Wonderful Lie, and as we know, banned by Google. 384 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.799 Wonderful Live Federal Reserve the one hundred and eleventh anniversary. 385 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:05.839 He put this out a while ago and He showed 386 00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:08.960 it on the program December twenty third, my niece's birthday. 387 00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:12.920 He says. The first info Wars video censored by YouTube 388 00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:16.119 in twenty thirteen, on the one hundredth anniversary of the 389 00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:19.160 Shenanigans that passed the Federal Reserve Act, when much of 390 00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.519 the Congress had left for Christmas vacation. Many of the 391 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.759 actions of JP Morgan were paralleled in It's a Wonderful 392 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.000 Life by the banker mister Potter. And by the way, 393 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:35.200 mister Potter, as I mentioned, was played by I can't 394 00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:37.920 remember what was that actor. I mentioned it last night 395 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.480 in the program. I'll think of it later. Selected clips 396 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:46.519 used in the commentary are covered under fair use. But 397 00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:51.720 there's nothing fair about Google, Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore. There's nothing 398 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:54.480 fair about Google or YouTube. By the way, the clips 399 00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.799 they claimed copyrights strike on were taken from the entire 400 00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:01.599 movie that was up on YouTube and remained up even 401 00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:05.960 after they struck the Info Wars channel. In David's production, 402 00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:09.400 it had been there for seven years. I remember seeing 403 00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:12.440 it and had over a million views at the time. 404 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.359 I might have been one of them who had been watching. 405 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:19.359 And so David produced this and it has a reference 406 00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.319 to this cultural item in the news today. 407 00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:26.880 Over the last one hundred years, the Federal Reserve has 408 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:29.880 created bubbles and burst them and slaved us with debt 409 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:34.440 and destroyed our purchasing power through inflation. Yes, it's been 410 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:38.519 a wonderful lie for the bankers. There are striking parallels 411 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.279 and frank kaepras. It's a wonderful life to the lies 412 00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:44.400 and tricks that real bankers use to create the Federal Reserve. 413 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.640 Human nature doesn't change, and the greedy elite of nineteen 414 00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:51.000 thirteen in twenty thirteen look and act a lot like 415 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:55.000 Potter the banker in the movie. And many Americans are 416 00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:58.359 left like George Bailey, staring into the abyss as their 417 00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:01.440 dreams collapse and they faced financial ruin. Do we live 418 00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:03.440 in a country that looks a lot more like Pottersville 419 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:04.599 than Bedford Falls? 420 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.400 All Right, So there you go. Absolutely wonderful production. The 421 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.200 story about how it got produced and David's knowledge of 422 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.240 it is just phenomenal. And so I'd like to add 423 00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.640 something to that because you might have heard about this 424 00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:19.960 yesterday a few talk radio hosts we're talking and discussing it, 425 00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.880 and I brought it up for discussion on Liberty Conspiracy 426 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:25.279 last night six o'clock Monday through Friday on Rubble and 427 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:26.640 Rock Fan. And of course you can go to my 428 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.359 substack too. I should mention the Gardner Goldsman substack because 429 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:31.880 the audios are available there. And you can check out 430 00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:35.880 my Sunday News Assembly every Friday. Now every Sunday. I 431 00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:38.599 should do that. Sometimes put out a Sunday News Assembly 432 00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:42.039 on a different day just to mess around, but you 433 00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:44.359 can check out. I always put out a probably about 434 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:48.000 eighteen to twenty stories on Sundays that are breaking stories 435 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:50.720 with a lot of context from my teaching in philosophy 436 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.519 and economics and political science and stuff like that. My 437 00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:58.119 also have a background in scriptwriting and so on, so 438 00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:00.920 sometimes you'll see some cultural stuff there. I won't be 439 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:04.640 given any secrets of Star Trek out anytime soon, but 440 00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:06.799 working at Star Trek Foyager was a lot of fun 441 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:08.480 and the Outer Limits was a lot of fun. That 442 00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.240 was great. But Amazon is in the news, and as 443 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:14.920 a person who worked in television, this is just this. 444 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:17.599 I mean, as a fan of the movie it's a 445 00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.799 wonderful life. This just disgusts me. I don't understand. I 446 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.839 just okay, So here's the story. We're gonna go over 447 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.559 to Fox News. Here's the story. Morning Glory. All right. 448 00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:35.960 Amazon sparks outrage after cunning important scene from film classic 449 00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:39.480 It's a Wonderful Life. And I thought of some things 450 00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:41.839 as I was on the air last night, and I 451 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.079 just thought, well, maybe this is a good analogy. I 452 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.960 suppose I'll offer them to you. So fans of the 453 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.559 Christmas class this is insane. I don't even understand. Fans 454 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.680 of the Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life are livid 455 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:04.559 over Amazon's abridged version of the movie on its streaming service. Abridged, Like, 456 00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:09.240 where does that even? Again, I've been in production studios. 457 00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:12.839 I've been at the tables right as they're forming the 458 00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:15.720 ideas for shows. I was there at the Outer Limits 459 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.240 as Brad Wright and some of the other guys started 460 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:21.400 the Stargate SG one series, and they were doing interviews 461 00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:25.079 and stuff and for staff members and things like that, 462 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:28.200 and they were heading up Outer Limits. So they started this. 463 00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:31.240 I've been there, you know, sit there say hmm, you know, 464 00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:34.240 I really like that story. How can we, you know, 465 00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:40.039 make an abridged version of it? Hey, hey, writer, thanks 466 00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:43.160 a lot. Let's just pull the heart out of this. Now. 467 00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:46.960 I know sometimes they're editorial decisions. That's for the people 468 00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:50.480 who make the movie. And I know that sometimes some 469 00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:54.440 people will do things like dubbing out or silencing out 470 00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:58.799 swear words or something like that. This is a completely 471 00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:05.880 different ballgame. This is wokeism on acid. They abridged the movie. 472 00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:09.279 The nineteen forty six hit film, which follows the life 473 00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:14.559 of businessman and banker George Bailey, sparked outrage after Amazon 474 00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:19.640 cut a pivotal portion. Like the pivotal portion, otherwise there's 475 00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.079 no meaning for the movie. Amazon's A Bridge version doesn't 476 00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:27.440 include what many consider the most important scene, known as 477 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:31.480 the Pottersville scene, in which George wishes he had never 478 00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:35.799 been born, prompting his guardian angel to remind him that 479 00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:39.400 he needs to earn his angel wings. That's Clarence, Clarence 480 00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:44.279 Clarence right. Outrage fans said the scene sets up the 481 00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:47.640 rest of the movie exactly. That's the whole point of 482 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:51.759 the movie. That's the point of the movie. They said. 483 00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:55.240 It abruptly jumps between scenes without the full context of 484 00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.720 the story. And I mentioned last night that would be 485 00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:00.680 like watching Wizard of Oz and what Dorothy goes to 486 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.839 open the door to the colorful land of Oz after 487 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.240 the storm. She wakes up. There's the storm, the house 488 00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:08.559 is a wreck. She opens the door. She's in Oz. 489 00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:12.000 You wouldn't have that. She'd just wake up, look around 490 00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:13.880 the messed up house, and then you'd see her and 491 00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.160 better again, and all her buddies are there. Hey, how's 492 00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:19.880 it go there, Dorothy? Why that was some storm last night? Huh, 493 00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:23.039 you wouldn't have the story. The whole point of It's 494 00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.960 a Wonderful Life is in the in the title it's 495 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.359 a wonderful life. He's going to take his own life, 496 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.240 and he realizes, through Clarence's help and showing them, what 497 00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.799 life would be like if he weren't there. How all 498 00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.839 these people exist because he helped them, and their lives 499 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.799 are better and they love him and he loves them. 500 00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.519 And that's the point of the movie. And you know, 501 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.000 spoilers if you haven't seen it. In the end, he's 502 00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:54.920 in financial trouble, and his financial trouble because he's tried 503 00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:57.599 to help so many people, he's over extended himself, and 504 00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:01.880 Potter is out too aggressively and predatorially take his bank, 505 00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:04.799 his savings alone away and the next thing, you know, 506 00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:07.960 all these people who love him, who show how much 507 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:12.799 they appreciate him, those local bonds are there and it's wonderful, 508 00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:15.200 and they come to his rescue, they come to his aid, 509 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.559 and his wife and his daughter are there, and the 510 00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.720 bell rings and Clarence the Angel has earned his wings. 511 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.920 It's so heartwarming. How could anybody not like that? Well, 512 00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:30.279 I don't even understand. It's ridiculous. That would be like 513 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:36.240 Rocky going from training to being the champ instantly. The 514 00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:38.799 whole point of the movie is the process of him 515 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:43.359 working to get over the hurdles and overcome things, and 516 00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.599 his relationships with people as he tries and struggles to 517 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:52.559 even overcome his own self doubt. It's I mean, gosh, 518 00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:56.359 I don't know, it's just ridiculous. So people are really 519 00:32:56.519 --> 00:33:00.599 really angry about this, and I think appropriately so, and 520 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:03.519 it just I think it just serves to remind a 521 00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:07.960 person about how wonderful that movie is. And I also 522 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:11.759 want to bring up while I have the opportunity, because 523 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:16.480 I have that clip from David's show that is over 524 00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:19.440 at his x feed. Remember if you go to the 525 00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:22.279 at liberty Tarian x feed, you can see a nice 526 00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:28.200 takeoff of the film. I would add for that he 527 00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:32.480 produced with CG with Ai that he and the family 528 00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:37.440 produced to promote at the Davidknightshow dot com store how 529 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.039 you can pick up his Christmas album and it's a 530 00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:43.720 wonderful little takeoff of the film. So I want to 531 00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:46.079 play just a section of this because here in the 532 00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.720 David Knight Show, if I can come in as not 533 00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.960 just a host filling in for David, but someone who 534 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:58.720 just offers enthusiastic delight for what David does and what 535 00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.079 the entire team does, and what all the people in 536 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.640 the chat do. And remember you can contribute as as 537 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.200 a member of the Goldsmith family to the Ninth Family, 538 00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:10.719 I say Merry Christmas to you and to all in 539 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.719 the audience.

But a great comment from Shila 583 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.800 or sheile a over on Rumble. The fruit stripe gum 584 00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:30.039 colors are jumping over there, they're sparkling. Amazon did that 585 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.599 about that film on purpose to cause outrage. We are 586 00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:40.599 in the demoralization phase of the mal revolution, and isn't 587 00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:44.800 it interesting how cultural icons are the types of things 588 00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:50.760 that collectivists often try to destroy, especially local flavor, local bonds, 589 00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.599 and replace it with bureaucracy and the larger idea of 590 00:38:55.159 --> 00:39:00.360 national identity, which oftentimes can't cover all those local things. 591 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:04.199 All that becomes homogenized and destroyed for the greater good. 592 00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:07.360 And I want to get into that next topic actually 593 00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.840 about the greater good and this icon worship of Donald Trump, 594 00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:12.920 And as I mentioned, you know, I don't want to 595 00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:17.360 be too critical, too harsh, because many of these people 596 00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:20.360 really seem like nice folks, right, And it's not like 597 00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:23.840 I have any grand enlightenment. I have a different perspective. 598 00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:28.960 I'm a Christian anarchist. I don't believe that any political 599 00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:35.199 structure that is formed through coercion and mandates is at 600 00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:39.840 all ethical, So I oppose all forms of statism. I 601 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:45.119 favor voluntarism. In fact, the term voluntarism applies to an anarchist, 602 00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:50.440 and anarchy is really not what the violent anarchists who 603 00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:54.360 were really socialists promoted, especially in the United States in 604 00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.119 the nineteen twenties nineteen thirties. In the United States and 605 00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:01.840 in Europe, anarchy is technically, you know, breaking it down, 606 00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:06.079 anarchy no human ruler, only God. We're all created equally. 607 00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:09.079 I have no right to claim rule over you. Even 608 00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:10.840 if I sign a piece of paper with a bunch 609 00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:14.079 of other people, that doesn't give me any authority. Pieces 610 00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:18.840 of paper don't give people authority. Voluntary free will and agreements, 611 00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.960 those are what actually bring our bonds together. And as 612 00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:27.840 the United States, this large hegemonic creature has grown across 613 00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:31.440 the continent, across so many areas of the economy, and 614 00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:34.880 into our private lives. I think so many people get 615 00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:39.360 normalcy bias. They become accustomed to the government controlling many 616 00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:43.920 of these types of things. And so we have control 617 00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:48.119 over air routes, we have control over speech on the internet, 618 00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:52.679 over television waves. None of that stuff is conforms with 619 00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:56.679 what the founders actually designed. They have something in there 620 00:40:56.679 --> 00:41:00.719 called the Interstate Commerce Clause. But even James Madison warned people. 621 00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:03.599 He said, essentially that that is supposed to. 622 00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:04.280 Be a. 623 00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:12.159 Remedial clause in the Constitution to allow, if for Congress 624 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:16.760 to handle disputes between states over trade problems. So if 625 00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:19.360 a state was putting up a trade barrier against products 626 00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:21.639 from another state, they could go to Congress and get 627 00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:24.480 that fixed. He said, it wasn't to give them control 628 00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:27.920 over anything that goes over state borders, to regulate anything 629 00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:31.840 in trade that someone might be selling from one person 630 00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.599 to another. And in fact, you'll see inside the clause, 631 00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:38.800 states is capitalized, so it only applies to those political bodies. 632 00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:41.920 So with all these things that have been added up, 633 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:46.880 I keep seeing, unfortunately, many conservatives looking to the central 634 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:50.559 authority as the fix it man, or, as Monty Python 635 00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:56.000 would say, bicycle repairman. We're saved, right, everything has to 636 00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:59.960 come from Donald Trump now. And they're overlooking the fact 637 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.440 that they themselves call themselves conservatives, and yet many of 638 00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:08.400 the things that Donald Trump favors, like for example, he 639 00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:13.960 says he's not going to allow foreign students to criticize 640 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:19.320 Israel or even support a peace in the Middle East. 641 00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:23.280 In Gaza, for the occupying nation of Israel to stop 642 00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:27.360 blasting people apart and killing reporters. They killed five reporters yesterday. 643 00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:30.880 They killed four people near a hospital. All that stuff, 644 00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:34.280 even if they're foreigners and they call for that. He's 645 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:38.239 going to make the universities get rid of them. And 646 00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:44.840 they're considering deporting those people. So why want a conservative 647 00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:48.599 rather than applauding that, say, hey, why should you be 648 00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:52.559 holding the money from the federal government over the universities. 649 00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:55.360 That's how you're going to make them do it. Why 650 00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:59.400 don't you allow for real privacy, private property rather than 651 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.000 legiate fascism, which is what we've got in so many 652 00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:07.400 areas of the economy, whether it's the green handouts, whether 653 00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:11.159 it's the you know, climate climate change, whether it's tariffs 654 00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:14.159 that are going to go towards certain businesses that are 655 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:18.880 favored like the dishwashing manufacturers in Ohio with Portman under Trump, 656 00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:22.599 whatever it might be. And tariffs are in the constitution, 657 00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:25.639 but they're economically bad and they're immoral. They're a form 658 00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:28.960 of tearor they're a form of taxation. Taxation is wrong. 659 00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:32.000 It's a way that groups of people try to take 660 00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:37.239 other people's stuff. That's wrong. It's just baseline wrong. There's 661 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:40.360 there's no arguing about saying, well, yeah, but we have 662 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:41.800 to fund the government, how are you gonna do it. 663 00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:43.440 I'm gonna force people to pay for it. Well, then 664 00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:45.599 it's wrong, isn't it. You're not gonna come up with 665 00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:48.639 an answer that says it's right, because then you're justifying 666 00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:52.639 theft that's incorrect. You just find theft, coercion, extortion, that's 667 00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:56.400 not right. It's wrong. So I want to show you 668 00:43:56.880 --> 00:44:03.039 a quick example of a way that American Trump supporters 669 00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:08.400 seem to forget what Donald Trump has wrought. And this 670 00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:14.320 is going international, not to Israel and Palestine and Gaza. 671 00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:17.639 Although Donald Trump a couple weeks ago had dinner with 672 00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:21.199 Benjamin Netyaho's wife who's up on charges. The wife of 673 00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:25.000 a man who internationally is being recognized as a person 674 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.880 who's conducting genocide and is up for war crimes charges 675 00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:32.079 and would be arrested in many nations, can't even go 676 00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:36.840 back to Poland. He's not Semitic, he's Eastern European. He 677 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:39.599 comes from this family, comes from Poland, net and Yahoo, 678 00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:44.039 and so he can't go back for the remembrance of 679 00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:46.800 the Holocaust because the Polish authorities say that they will 680 00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:49.719 arrest him for what he's doing with his own form 681 00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:53.000 of a Holocaust in Gaza. And people might look at 682 00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:56.480 that as inflammatory. Well, you know, anybody I think who's 683 00:44:56.480 --> 00:45:00.159 been watching this very closely knows the genocide that the 684 00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:03.280 IDEF has been conducting with our money. And I find 685 00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:10.519 it repulsive. It's absolutely utterly unacceptable. It's morally, constitutionally, ethically unacceptable. 686 00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:14.400 So and it's a historic black mark on the United 687 00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:17.679 States and anybody anybody who supports that in the Congress 688 00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:21.119 should be ashamed of himself or herself. And Joe Biden, 689 00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:24.360 I know he's got mental problems, but he's been backing 690 00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:26.840 this for a long time too. Let's talk about another 691 00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:28.920 area though, In the area I want to bring up 692 00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:33.840 to discuss this strange blindness and this hero worship of 693 00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:38.400 Donald Trump is Syria, and I've got a segment from 694 00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:41.599 RT that I recorded that shows you the chaos that's 695 00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:45.320 happening in Syria. Let's check this out as they talk 696 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:50.039 about this now sectarian violence and even the Alloites who 697 00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:53.480 are in the area where Asad used to live, they're 698 00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:57.480 having problems, of course, and they're fighting with each other 699 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:01.719 as United States backed forces that at the time that 700 00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:04.960 the United States was giving them money, they were calling 701 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:11.519 them terrorists. This is the group that formed isis the 702 00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:16.400 Alnustra Front, which is now what is it the It's 703 00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:21.880 the Hayat Tar al Sham and their leader who used 704 00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:24.239 to go by al Galani or al Jilani because he 705 00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:27.079 was born in the Golan Heights, who's now called al Sharha, 706 00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:35.760 Muhammad Glani Abu Muhammad Galani now Mohammad al Sharha. This 707 00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:39.639 man was on the most wanted list until last week 708 00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:44.239 from the United States government. But at the same time 709 00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:48.320 both Israel and the United States were working with him, 710 00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:52.119 and the United States was occupying a third of Syria. 711 00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:57.000 So let's see the chaos that has been wrought not 712 00:46:57.280 --> 00:47:00.519 just by Joe Biden. And this is where I want 713 00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:02.920 to go on this hero worship. Let's check out some 714 00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:06.039 of the chaos in Syria right now. These poor innocent 715 00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:08.840 civilians who might be there caught up in all of this. 716 00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:12.199 As Israel moves past the goal on heights, don't know 717 00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:14.559 how far in they're going to take land, as Turkey 718 00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:17.639 wants land, as the Kurds in the northeast want their land, 719 00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:20.679 and of course, as the United States continues to play 720 00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:22.519 favorites there on. 721 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.679 The ground in Syria, specifically in the coastal areas of 722 00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:29.760 Latakia and a tatus Hts, terrorists have clasped with the 723 00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:34.559 forces of the Ousk president, the country's current militant landed administration. 724 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:36.400 Confound that there were casualties. 725 00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:43.400 Fourteen Interior Ministry personnel were killed and ten others wounded 726 00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:46.400 after a treacherous ambush by remnants of the criminal regime 727 00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:52.159 while performing their tasks of maintaining security and safety. 728 00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:01.199 The majority of the population in the atled regional Ala 729 00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:04.960 White so the Ethner religious group in the country, which ba. 730 00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:06.800 Al Asad himself belonged to. 731 00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:11.599 Syrian American journaist and Rice as steven Sauna leaves. This 732 00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:15.960 sectarian violence is being incited by third parties. 733 00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:20.960 In the protests in Shomos in central Syria, there were 734 00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:24.840 the third party that shot on the protesters and killed 735 00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:29.599 and injured that that need sure, it took everyone that 736 00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:32.280 the third party trying to make it a sectarian war, 737 00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:38.960 and it started immediately. The opposition forces caused started a 738 00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:43.800 curfew at night about ten eleven o'clock the village of 739 00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:45.679 the Snod, the suburbs of Latakia. 740 00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:49.320 The young men in the village captured several. 741 00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:52.880 Men who had kidnapped a Sydney boy from Latakia, a 742 00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:56.239 simny young man from Latakia, and they were going to 743 00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:59.559 kill him and throw him throw his body in that village. 744 00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:03.440 Uh to uh and for sure to cause a sectarian 745 00:49:04.519 --> 00:49:08.159 tension between the Alloys and the Sidneys and Latakia. There 746 00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:12.239 is some revenge killing because it's chaos in the country. 747 00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:16.840 Uh, it's a big chaos. There is some. 748 00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:21.280 Individual mistakes, there is, as I told you, And at 749 00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:23.760 the same time there's a third party trying to killing 750 00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:27.840 also from Alloyites. Then they kill like a Christians, they 751 00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:30.320 kill a suddenly there so there is to be as 752 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:32.239 I said, there's the third party trying to cause a 753 00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:37.079 k sectarian war in Syria and unrest, the revenge of course, 754 00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:40.880 and the there is revenge killing happening because. 755 00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:42.119 As I as I said, because it is. 756 00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:48.119 Chaos in Syria, the opposition did not have never, just 757 00:49:48.199 --> 00:49:52.039 have time to take control as a police and arrest 758 00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:54.639 all of these people doing all of this. 759 00:49:55.239 --> 00:49:57.639 All right, so we'll pause that. I think that is 760 00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:01.239 just you know, one snapshot of one of the things 761 00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:05.239 that's happening in the Alla White region where Asad had 762 00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:08.320 grown up, and of course his father had been a 763 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:11.079 leader of the country prior to that, and for context. 764 00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:14.679 I've mentioned this on Liberty Conspiracy, but part of my 765 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:19.480 scriptwriting when I was working out in Los Angeles because 766 00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:22.880 of my libertarian connections here in New Hampshire and Ski 767 00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:29.960 here in Russia. Hampshire Glenn Jacobs, the man who played 768 00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.039 Kine in the w W E and is now mayor 769 00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:36.079 of Knox County, and Glenn's been on here with me 770 00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:39.639 when I've filled in for David once. Glenn, great guy. 771 00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:43.800 Glenn had house just a couple of towns up from here, 772 00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.039 and we met at a libertarian convention where we were 773 00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:50.039 both speaking, and so I was in La a couple 774 00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:52.199 of years later, and he said, hey, Guard, you know 775 00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:54.519 you don't want to get together for dinner. So one 776 00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:57.360 night we had a real, real nice time, went to 777 00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:02.199 a sushi place with with Freddy Prinz Junior actually, because 778 00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:05.159 Freddy's worked doing a lot of things for WWE for 779 00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:08.360 quite a while and Glenn and Freddy had been friends. 780 00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:11.039 And Freddy was really nice guy, really really good guy, 781 00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:15.079 very pro freedom sort of guy. And the things he 782 00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:18.679 the wonderful things he said about his wife was just great, 783 00:51:18.719 --> 00:51:21.880 Sarah Michelle Geller, and that was awesome. And then the 784 00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:24.079 next night we went to dinner at a Middle Eastern 785 00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:28.760 restaurant and this is around twenty eleven, and the manager, 786 00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:33.039 I believe, came from Turkey and he came up to 787 00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:37.199 us later after the dinner and he said, Hey, they're 788 00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:40.400 going to try to overthrow Asad. And I said, what 789 00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:43.320 is is maybe the spring of twenty eleven, I thought, 790 00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:45.480 he was what are you talking about? He said, Look, 791 00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:48.679 Asad's not a great guy, he said, but they want 792 00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:51.320 to stop rushing energy exports. And of course I looked 793 00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:53.480 into it and yeah, they had a pipeline they were planning, 794 00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:56.480 and of course, the United States government dependent on the 795 00:51:56.480 --> 00:52:00.599 Petro dollar. The Arabs didn't want that competition, and there 796 00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:04.559 was the larger plan for the Greater Israel project and 797 00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:10.159 the campaigned for a New American Century that Wesley Clark exposed. 798 00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:12.599 You can see the Democracy Now video all about that. 799 00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:15.320 You know, the seven countries in five years, which you know, 800 00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:19.079 the timeline has been drawn out much much longer, but 801 00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:21.280 that's what they're going for. Iran is the last one. 802 00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:23.960 And he said, you know, they're gonna try to overthrow Asad. 803 00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:27.360 They want to overthrow USOT. And then shortly thereafter, I didn't, 804 00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:29.639 you know, pay that much attention to what the man said. 805 00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:32.239 But shortly that after Obama had his redline and the 806 00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:35.239 same thing they came up with that Assad is using 807 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:38.000 chemical weapons against his own people, which was debunked by 808 00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:41.480 scientists and students at m I. T Seymour Hirsch has 809 00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:45.000 written about it, utterly bogus stuff, and even Obama had 810 00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:48.119 to pull back because they showed they disproved his claims. 811 00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:51.519 But all of the stuff at ben Ghazi that that 812 00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:55.119 uh that night at ben Ghazi with Ambassador Stevens, that 813 00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:59.760 didn't just spontaneously happen, as Hillary Clinton said, you know what, 814 00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:02.920 what difference does it make. The difference is those were weapons, 815 00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:05.719 as Seymour Hirsh has talked about, which were supposed to 816 00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:10.719 be moved from Libya after she and her other absolutely 817 00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:17.239 demonic vultures came and overthrew the government of Libya and 818 00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:20.559 picked that apart. Then we see that they wanted to 819 00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:24.480 move the weapons into Syria and that night in Benghazi 820 00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:28.360 that was supposed to be a weapons transfer. That's what happened. 821 00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:31.079 And Seymour Hirsh has written about the rat lines. You 822 00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:34.840 can check that out and I'll show you. As they 823 00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:40.039 started to prepare for the overthrow of the government of Asad, 824 00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:44.039 there is a classic picture, and I've shown this before 825 00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:50.960 of John McCain in Turkey meeting with none other than 826 00:53:51.039 --> 00:53:58.079 Abu Muhammad Jilani, who, yes, at that time, was just 827 00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:04.079 attracting the attention of people like John McCain. McCain also 828 00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:07.039 was at the heart of the overthrow of Ukraine. This 829 00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.519 man is responsible for so much chaos in both of 830 00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:16.639 those countries, both of Ukraine and Syria have seen hundreds 831 00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:20.039 of thousands of people dead because of him and his 832 00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:23.320 friend's machinations. And that is the man right there on 833 00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:26.519 the screen. If you're listening in audio, just look up 834 00:54:26.920 --> 00:54:31.760 Al Qaeda operative Abu Muhammad Jilani, John McCain Turkey and 835 00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:34.880 you'll see the image. It'll pop up. That is a 836 00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:37.960 picture I've been showing over and over again for years 837 00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.400 on Liberty Conspiracy. I've emailed it to people. And John 838 00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:46.320 McCain is also in photographs on stage as I mentioned 839 00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:49.639 on the program, probably David's show here as well, on 840 00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:54.480 stage in twenty fourteen and working with them in twenty thirteen. 841 00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:56.719 And Joe Biden is in pictures with a man named 842 00:54:56.719 --> 00:55:00.280 ole Tiani Bach, leader of the Slovada Party which is 843 00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:04.559 the Nazi party in Ukraine, literally on stage with Phil Murphy, 844 00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:08.159 the senator from Connecticut. Amy Klovershaw was there for that trip. 845 00:55:08.199 --> 00:55:10.280 Lindsay Graham was there for that trip because I think 846 00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:14.119 he liked the military fashions. And John McCain was there, 847 00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:17.400 And Joe Biden is in photos shaking hands with the 848 00:55:17.519 --> 00:55:22.199 Nazi who formed part of the coalition government behind Yatsunyuk 849 00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:25.639 who of course we heard mentioned, whom we heard mentioned 850 00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:27.800 by Victoria Neulan and Jeffrey Pied as the guy they 851 00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:30.559 were going to put into office in early twenty fourteen, 852 00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:34.800 and that led to Barisma and also the extension of 853 00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:38.320 the bioweapons labs that Barack Obama and Dick Lugar put 854 00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:42.360 in there when they overthrew Yanikovich in two thousand and 855 00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:46.400 five two thousand and six in Ukraine he got reelected later, 856 00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:49.639 but in two thousand and six or so, that's when 857 00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:52.039 they started to put the bioweapons labs in. And there's 858 00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:57.760 a very good documentary by Russia today, terrible Russian propagandists 859 00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:04.679 that exposes many of those bioweapons plans in not just Ukraine, 860 00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:08.519 but I believe also Estonia and Latvia or Lithuania. And 861 00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:12.760 one of the bioweapons plants actually has Dick Louguard's name 862 00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:17.760 on it. If people needed any more evidence, or you know, 863 00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:22.039 if Victoria Neulan acknowledging that there were bioweapons labs to 864 00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:26.119 Marco Rubio, maybe that's enough as well. I don't know, 865 00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:30.679 I just don't know. But this is just perfect and 866 00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:35.880 shows you the influence of Republicans and Democrats. So let's 867 00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:39.199 look at John McCain in particular, let's look at the 868 00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:44.079 blind side of people when it comes to Donald Trump, 869 00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:48.679 because indeed, just a little while ago on Friday, and 870 00:56:48.719 --> 00:56:50.880 I got to put this in my Sunday News. Assembly 871 00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:56.960 on Friday a spokesperson for the Department of Defense, and 872 00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:58.960 of course you get to pay for your own defense, 873 00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:00.960 and if you don't pay for it, you'll be trying 874 00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:04.360 to defend yourself from people getting into your house. I 875 00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:06.920 love how they talk about border control. We've going to 876 00:57:06.920 --> 00:57:10.480 have border control that's not in the US Constitution under 877 00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:14.400 the powers of the Congress or the government. The executive 878 00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:17.480 branch or the judicial branch is a state issue. Jefferson 879 00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:20.079 and Madison have written about it. And if you don't 880 00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:24.519 want to pay for their arbitrary political border, because of course, 881 00:57:24.599 --> 00:57:26.639 no one can actually say that a border that's put 882 00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:29.800 up by government is actually where anyone wants it, because 883 00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:32.079 the people who are forced to pay for it, it's 884 00:57:32.159 --> 00:57:36.000 not their decision, and the politicians are using other people's money. 885 00:57:36.280 --> 00:57:38.800 The only borders that are actually real and show any 886 00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:42.880 value that anyone wants it there are on private property. 887 00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:46.239 But the people who want to protect the political border 888 00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:49.920 and look for central authority to handle the border, which 889 00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:53.639 isn't even in their constitution unless states under Article four 890 00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:57.280 Section four ask for the militia to come in to 891 00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:00.920 protect their constitutional form of government, they have to ask 892 00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:04.440 them to come in. So you don't need posse comatatas. 893 00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:07.320 You don't need posse camatatas because it's Article four. Section 894 00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:10.679 four is only when they are asked to go in, 895 00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:14.599 can they go in. So it's supposed to be a 896 00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:16.679 state issue. So if you don't want to pay for 897 00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:19.320 where their political border is going to be put up 898 00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:22.559 when they take private property somewhere in Texas or Arizona 899 00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:24.480 to put up a new wall or something like that, 900 00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:27.280 if you don't want to buy into their central command 901 00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:29.880 and control that, if a new president other than Donald 902 00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:32.599 Trump comes in next time, it might go right back 903 00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:36.840 to Joe Biden actually taking your money to fund people moving, 904 00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:40.239 but in this case to put up the barriers. If 905 00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:41.880 you don't want them to take your money for that, 906 00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:45.320 guess what happens to your barriers at your house. That's right, 907 00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:47.760 they don't care about your borders. They'll come right into 908 00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:50.480 your house, they'll take you away. That's how much they 909 00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:55.920 care about borders. That's how much. The people who are 910 00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:59.000 saying I care so much about the US border are 911 00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:02.039 the very ones who would force their neighbor to pay 912 00:59:02.119 --> 00:59:04.639 for where they want the border wall to be, or 913 00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:07.519 how to be policed with how much, how often, how 914 00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:11.000 much money. That's all part of the tragedy of the commons. 915 00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:14.119 It's unworkable. The only way you can show value is 916 00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:16.880 through your own decisions, not by forcing somebody else to 917 00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:20.519 pay for it. So let's take a look now at 918 00:59:20.559 --> 00:59:24.199 again the mistakes that many conservatives make when they look 919 00:59:24.239 --> 00:59:26.599 to that central authority. We'll talk about immigration a little 920 00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:29.000 bit more and touch on that theme again, which is 921 00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:33.679 a philosophical, anarchist, logical theme, plus touches on the constitutional 922 00:59:33.719 --> 00:59:36.880 framework that many conservatives just seem to overlook when they 923 00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:40.760 look at the central authority trying to handle this. We're 924 00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:44.719 going to talk a little bit about this Defense Department spokesman, 925 00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:50.880 a major general rider who gets up there and acts 926 00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:56.000 as if he's surprised to discover something. He discovers amazingly 927 00:59:56.639 --> 01:00:01.039 that there are more troops in Syria the United States, 928 01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:08.400 deployed deployed from the United States than they realized. So 929 01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:10.519 I did a video for this and wrote about it 930 01:00:10.559 --> 01:00:12.960 from our CTV, and idn'd like to play it for 931 01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:18.760 you now, Perhaps extinguishing any flicker of confidence many Americans 932 01:00:18.920 --> 01:00:23.760 might still retain in the honesty of a Biden Department 933 01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:27.639 of Defense and the US Congress that already has shown 934 01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:33.039 decades of utter contempt for the US Constitution. Department of 935 01:00:33.039 --> 01:00:40.000 Defense DoD spokesman Major General Patrick Ryder told reporters on 936 01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:44.880 December nineteenth that, well, chucks, you know how we've been 937 01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:47.920 telling you for almost a year that there were nine 938 01:00:48.039 --> 01:00:53.880 hundred US troops in Syria. Well, we just discovered that 939 01:00:53.920 --> 01:01:00.119 there are more than double that number deployed there. Hi, everyone, 940 01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:04.039 and I'm Gardner Goldsmith for MRCTV, And here's the story. Yes, 941 01:01:04.599 --> 01:01:10.199 Major General Rider, he was surprised to find that his 942 01:01:10.440 --> 01:01:16.239 own agency, his own department, had taken certain actions. That's 943 01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:17.800 kind of curious. 944 01:01:17.440 --> 01:01:17.840 Isn't it. 945 01:01:18.119 --> 01:01:20.280 Well, here's what he had to say, in part. 946 01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:23.400 As you know, we have been briefing you regularly that 947 01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:26.920 there are approximately nine hundred US troops deployed to Syria. 948 01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:31.119 In light of the situation in Syria and the significant interest, 949 01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:35.639 we recently learned that those numbers were. 950 01:01:35.519 --> 01:01:37.719 Higher and so asked to look into it. 951 01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:41.639 I learned today that, in fact, there are approximately two 952 01:01:41.719 --> 01:01:43.320 thousand US troops in Syria. 953 01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:47.679 Writer's claim of ignorance was almost as insulting as the 954 01:01:47.719 --> 01:01:52.599 reality that without any official declaration of war from Congress, 955 01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:58.679 no US troops are supposed to be deployed overseas, not 956 01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:03.519 two thousand, not nine hundred, not one. And he made 957 01:02:03.559 --> 01:02:07.719 it worse by trying to normalize this stunning breach of 958 01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:09.559 American constitutionalism. 959 01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:13.960 These additional forces are considered temporary rotational forces that deployed 960 01:02:14.039 --> 01:02:18.039 to meet shifting mission requirements, whereas the core nine hundred 961 01:02:18.079 --> 01:02:20.320 deployers are on longer term deployments. 962 01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:24.800 Again, if there are any ethical people still working in DC, 963 01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:28.320 could they mention to Major General Rider that this is 964 01:02:28.360 --> 01:02:32.719 a distinction without a difference, the fundamental baseline being that 965 01:02:32.880 --> 01:02:35.440 none of them are supposed to be there, with the 966 01:02:35.800 --> 01:02:39.679 added recognition that the DoD has been lying to us 967 01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:44.400 for many months about the overall number. Journalist Michael Tracy 968 01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:48.519 put it succinctly on X, posting a clip of the 969 01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:54.559 insufferable writers inane statement and writing quote, would love to 970 01:02:54.599 --> 01:02:58.159 know how the Pentagon suddenly learned that it had at 971 01:02:58.280 --> 01:03:02.440 least one one hundred more troops deployed to Syria than 972 01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:07.280 it had previously acknowledged end quote. Absolutely right. Did the 973 01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:11.320 soldiers walk there? Perhaps they appeared out of hammer space, 974 01:03:11.559 --> 01:03:14.800 as if they were in a Mario and Luigi video game, 975 01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:19.800 all while the wildly unconstitutional US wanders like a blind 976 01:03:19.920 --> 01:03:24.719 beggar into thirty six trillion dollars in debt. Of course, 977 01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:27.599 given the track record here, we can't even be sure 978 01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:32.199 we can trust this new number of two thousand troops. 979 01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:36.320 But while Ryder did make a court gesture of himself 980 01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:40.599 and expose how much contempt the current US military brass, 981 01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:45.920 DC politicians and federal bureaucrats have for us, he was 982 01:03:46.039 --> 01:03:49.880 honest about one thing. At the close of the clip 983 01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:54.599 provided by Michael Tracy, one can see Rider admitting that 984 01:03:54.639 --> 01:03:59.039 the US has been in Syria for a long time. 985 01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:02.360 Some of us have been trying to sound the alarms 986 01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:04.480 about this for a long time. 987 01:04:05.159 --> 01:04:09.559 He said, These forces which augment the defeat ISIS mission 988 01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:13.719 were there before the fall of the Asade regime. 989 01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:18.400 No kidding again, some of us have known that. In fact, 990 01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:21.960 we've known that the US has been working with ISIS 991 01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:26.599 affiliations and occupying nearly one third of Syria for ten years, 992 01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:30.760 and that the area is Seriou's richest oil land and 993 01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:35.039 contains the best growing fields in the nation. In fact, 994 01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:40.039 Donald Trump himself admitted to this occupation on numerous occasions 995 01:04:40.280 --> 01:04:45.400 while he was president presiding over the occupation, and he 996 01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:49.440 even stated during a meeting with Turkey's leader, Recev tyep 997 01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:52.320 Erdowan five years ago, in part. 998 01:04:52.639 --> 01:04:54.079 We're keeping the oil we have. 999 01:04:54.199 --> 01:04:55.679 The oil is secure. 1000 01:04:56.280 --> 01:04:59.519 And as much as supporters of mister Trump might try 1001 01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:03.480 to just defy this, perhaps thinking that it represents some 1002 01:05:03.599 --> 01:05:06.880 kind of payment for the US doing something they think 1003 01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:12.000 is beneficial in the region, there simply is no constitutional 1004 01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:16.800 or ethical excuse for any of this period. Not only 1005 01:05:16.840 --> 01:05:20.239 has the US Congress not offered a declaration of war 1006 01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:25.639 to move troops overseas and possibly engage in hostility that 1007 01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:29.880 could see them killed or see them kill others. Internationally, 1008 01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:35.679 a Greek treaties prohibit the occupation of foreign nations. Not 1009 01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:39.239 of course, that any of the federal bureaucrats and war 1010 01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:44.039 hungry politicians in DC much care. So long as they 1011 01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:51.639 keep collecting their cushy, taxpayer funded salaries, we don't know 1012 01:05:51.639 --> 01:05:53.239 where they came from. 1013 01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:54.039 Man. 1014 01:05:54.599 --> 01:05:58.320 Thanks for watching everyone, Please like and subscribe. Find us 1015 01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:01.960 Unrumble where they don't censor and of course, I suppose 1016 01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:05.079 you could here a sense of frustration in my voice there. 1017 01:06:05.559 --> 01:06:09.000 Big thanks to the MRC TV editors. The team did 1018 01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:11.480 a great job on that video, and I really appreciate 1019 01:06:11.519 --> 01:06:14.760 what they did, and yeah it is it is amazing. 1020 01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:19.239 But I want to show you, in fact, let me 1021 01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:21.199 do one thing here, because I want to show you 1022 01:06:22.079 --> 01:06:29.559 what the comments were on this video. Okay, so let 1023 01:06:29.639 --> 01:06:31.760 me go down here just to give you an example, 1024 01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:35.800 because this sort of helps with the lesson of the 1025 01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:39.679 whole thing, and it is I think illustrative or at 1026 01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:46.519 least allows for some comments from people. So let me 1027 01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:49.960 show you this and you can check it out. And 1028 01:06:50.119 --> 01:06:58.880 someone has here and nice thanks and things like that. 1029 01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:04.079 Someone says, is Rider a DEI general officer? That's great, 1030 01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:16.599 But then we have so someone had an excellent point. 1031 01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:19.199 Anyone who actually believes the d D didn't know exactly 1032 01:07:19.239 --> 01:07:21.559 how many troops it has in Syria has quite a 1033 01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:24.679 few screws loose. Do you guys seriously think the government 1034 01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:28.039 didn't know how many troops it had there? Seriously? Well, 1035 01:07:28.199 --> 01:07:32.480 obviously that's the point of my video, But some people 1036 01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:35.880 didn't really seem to get the point. One person said, 1037 01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:38.320 hammer space is more a bugs Bunny thing than Mario 1038 01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:41.480 and Luigi thing. But it's actually taken from Mario and 1039 01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:44.239 Luigi when they would pull their hammers from out behind 1040 01:07:44.280 --> 01:07:46.079 their backs in the video game. But I understand what 1041 01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:56.159 he was saying about bugs bunny. So this is interesting. 1042 01:07:56.719 --> 01:08:00.320 So this one person here, this is new says, while 1043 01:08:00.360 --> 01:08:03.039 I agree with the criticism of the DoD, I must 1044 01:08:03.119 --> 01:08:05.960 bring scrutiny, not even paying attention to Donald Trump, I 1045 01:08:06.039 --> 01:08:08.800 must bring scrutiny to your criticism of the US declaring 1046 01:08:08.840 --> 01:08:11.920 war argument. The US Congress has not declared war since 1047 01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:15.000 nineteen forty one. All the other wars we have fought 1048 01:08:15.119 --> 01:08:18.800 have not fallen under the constitutional war doctrine. That's the 1049 01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:23.239 point that I made. It's not constitutional. What else are 1050 01:08:23.279 --> 01:08:26.119 you going to use to run the US government? You know, 1051 01:08:26.800 --> 01:08:32.279 the rules to monopoly. I'm not sure, but some people 1052 01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:37.600 just concentrated on Joe Biden. They thought, yeah, you know, 1053 01:08:37.800 --> 01:08:40.760 when a new guy gets in here, it'll be changed, 1054 01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:45.680 it'll be different. Someone says Trump will fire his you 1055 01:08:45.720 --> 01:08:49.920 know what as you know what, So he writes this, 1056 01:08:50.439 --> 01:08:53.920 Trump will fire his you know what. Well, that's not 1057 01:08:54.039 --> 01:08:58.079 the point. The point is that Trump also was at fault, 1058 01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:09.960 and he says, another person here says, who's responsible for 1059 01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:15.680 such awful record keeping? That's not the point. The point 1060 01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:20.800 is that the United States government is deploying troops without 1061 01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:25.039 a declaration of war and was occupying a nation contrary 1062 01:09:25.039 --> 01:09:29.159 to the US Constitution and international agreements to which the 1063 01:09:29.279 --> 01:09:33.840 United States has signed and which are constitutional according to 1064 01:09:33.880 --> 01:09:35.119 the US Constitution. 1065 01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:37.239 How hard is it? 1066 01:09:37.319 --> 01:09:40.800 I don't understand people are looking at Joe Biden and 1067 01:09:40.840 --> 01:09:43.960 not Donald Trump. They're completely It was right there, it 1068 01:09:44.119 --> 01:09:46.640 was in the video. It was there, wasn't it didn't 1069 01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:50.439 I put it in there. I don't understand how it 1070 01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:53.560 is that people can look at this and they immediately 1071 01:09:53.600 --> 01:09:58.319 switch off of recognizing the wrongdoing of Donald Trump. They 1072 01:09:58.359 --> 01:10:04.079 won't discuss it. I thought it was valuable, it was 1073 01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:06.880 important to bring up, and yet we don't see it. 1074 01:10:07.640 --> 01:10:11.640 They're not discussing it. And I've got another example for 1075 01:10:11.720 --> 01:10:14.960 you that I think you might find interesting. So let's 1076 01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:18.199 turn to what I wrote down on the billboard, and 1077 01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:20.960 I showed this to the audience at Liberty Conspiracy last night. 1078 01:10:21.199 --> 01:10:26.920 Collectivism grows. Even so called conservatives have embraced the mindset 1079 01:10:27.159 --> 01:10:30.439 while deluding themselves. Many not all, you know, I want 1080 01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:35.520 to be sort of just questioning and expressing some vexation 1081 01:10:36.199 --> 01:10:40.000 and hope that maybe we can have a conversation and 1082 01:10:40.079 --> 01:10:42.960 that sort of a thing and say, hey, what about this? 1083 01:10:43.680 --> 01:10:46.079 Are you you going to talk about that? Or are 1084 01:10:46.079 --> 01:10:48.920 you just going to say I'm putting all my chips 1085 01:10:49.000 --> 01:10:54.239 on this and while deluting themselves that they stand for freedom. 1086 01:10:54.600 --> 01:10:58.600 The hits and missus come up here, and here are 1087 01:10:58.600 --> 01:11:00.920 the hits and the misses of an example. So I 1088 01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:04.640 want to turn to this web channel. You can find 1089 01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:09.479 them on Rumble Real America's Voice. Right. So this guy, 1090 01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:14.239 Steve Gruber comes back from Christmas, and he's a very 1091 01:11:14.279 --> 01:11:19.119 likable host. Seems you know, he's got some chops when 1092 01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:22.520 it comes to certain things. I disagree with him on 1093 01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:28.199 other things. And yet it's this banking on Trump is 1094 01:11:28.239 --> 01:11:30.880 gonna change everything. It's gonna be great, and then for 1095 01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:34.520 completely forgetting all these other things that he's done in 1096 01:11:34.560 --> 01:11:37.199 the past. And in this we're gonna touch on the 1097 01:11:37.279 --> 01:11:41.159 last little bit to sort of recap Christmas, because Trump's 1098 01:11:41.279 --> 01:11:44.800 Christmas message is part of what I plan to discuss 1099 01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:47.079 on the program. As you saw on the Billboard earlier, 1100 01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:51.439 Trump's Christmas message shows us. I think, how so many 1101 01:11:51.479 --> 01:11:55.239 people are so willing to uncritically look at these people 1102 01:11:55.239 --> 01:11:58.159 and just rely on the one guy's gonna save us. 1103 01:11:58.520 --> 01:12:03.000 How in the world did a supposedly decentralized federalist system 1104 01:12:03.039 --> 01:12:07.279 get to that point. Well, again, not to be too critical, 1105 01:12:07.600 --> 01:12:09.279 you know, try to pull back every once in a 1106 01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:12.520 while here and just offer what he has to say 1107 01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:16.399 and say, geez, you know this makes me feel uncomfortable 1108 01:12:16.439 --> 01:12:19.479 sometimes and sometimes he makes very good points. Here we go. 1109 01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:21.159 It was a terrific Christmas. 1110 01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:24.000 Like you, we're now taking time to look forward and 1111 01:12:24.279 --> 01:12:26.920 really start to count our blessings as we count down 1112 01:12:27.159 --> 01:12:29.760 the days until America has a real president again. 1113 01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:34.239 Okay, so there you go. How is a guy who 1114 01:12:34.439 --> 01:12:37.880 repeatedly with the Cares Act, with the PPP, with the 1115 01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:44.039 calling for a medical emergency March thirteenth, twenty twenty. How 1116 01:12:44.159 --> 01:12:47.520 is that a real president? How can you call this man, 1117 01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:51.720 Donald Trump, a real president, the authentic, real deal, the 1118 01:12:51.880 --> 01:12:57.159 John Wayne, real meat and potatoes president. Going back to 1119 01:12:57.199 --> 01:13:00.279 the roots of a guy who respects the constitution when 1120 01:13:00.479 --> 01:13:04.239 this man is not even right about how many Russians 1121 01:13:04.399 --> 01:13:08.279 have died in the Russian Ukraine conflict. He repeats nonsense 1122 01:13:08.279 --> 01:13:14.800 from Jake Sullivan. Absolutely false, I mean so clearly obviously false. 1123 01:13:14.920 --> 01:13:18.159 He said six hundred thousand Russians have died. It's nowhere 1124 01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:22.479 near that. It's six hundred thousand Ukrainians have died. And 1125 01:13:22.560 --> 01:13:28.319 how any thoughtful human being can hear that and say, well, sure, 1126 01:13:28.359 --> 01:13:31.840 I believe that is beyond me. There's no possible way 1127 01:13:32.239 --> 01:13:35.239 that Donald Trump could believe that unless he didn't know 1128 01:13:35.279 --> 01:13:38.039 anything about what was going on there. And it's the 1129 01:13:38.079 --> 01:13:41.079 same thing with the PPP and care stuff, going back 1130 01:13:41.119 --> 01:13:43.960 to the so called pandemic, the same thing with even 1131 01:13:44.039 --> 01:13:48.399 calling it a pandemic when you've got a medical system 1132 01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:52.159 that's getting incentivized by the federal government to the tune 1133 01:13:52.159 --> 01:13:55.760 of upwards of thirty thousand dollars per patient. If they 1134 01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:59.880 can claim that the patient has a if they can 1135 01:13:59.880 --> 01:14:02.960 take a positive pc artist which has been gin dupped 1136 01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:08.399 to two to the fortieth power, and then claim that 1137 01:14:08.439 --> 01:14:12.920 someone has died from COVID nineteen when they could have 1138 01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:16.000 died from something else, they'll get paid. You don't even 1139 01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:18.319 know how many people. Ever, they will never know how 1140 01:14:18.319 --> 01:14:22.199 many people died from COVID nineteen. Donald I could see 1141 01:14:22.239 --> 01:14:25.399 that Donald Trump's the president of working with these people. 1142 01:14:25.560 --> 01:14:28.119 He didn't bring it up. Hey, do you think we 1143 01:14:28.199 --> 01:14:31.079 might be sort of pumping up the numbers by sending 1144 01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:33.319 money out to people who claim that they've got this 1145 01:14:33.399 --> 01:14:35.680 so that they can get the money. I don't know 1146 01:14:35.760 --> 01:14:38.479 about that. I'm Anthony Fauci. I think we're fine. By 1147 01:14:38.520 --> 01:14:41.119 the way, put your mask back on and go back 1148 01:14:41.159 --> 01:14:44.600 to mar A Lago. I mean, these are the most 1149 01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:47.079 If you were a teenager playing a board game, you 1150 01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:49.399 just scratch your head like, hey, did I miss something 1151 01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:51.119 here on the way this is supposed to work? 1152 01:14:51.279 --> 01:14:51.479 No? 1153 01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:55.119 No, no, it's fine? Am I sup? How is this? 1154 01:14:55.840 --> 01:14:58.840 I don't know how this works? So again, how is 1155 01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:02.520 he a real president? Right? How is it possible he's 1156 01:15:02.520 --> 01:15:08.279 a real president? Even George Washington breached the constitution when 1157 01:15:08.319 --> 01:15:12.560 he marched on the whiskey whiskey makers in western Pennsylvania. Okay, 1158 01:15:13.000 --> 01:15:16.119 they weren't invited into Pennsylvania under article for Session four, 1159 01:15:16.119 --> 01:15:19.079 and I'm glad I brought it up earlier. They weren't 1160 01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:20.640 invited in. It was a judge who was a friend 1161 01:15:20.720 --> 01:15:24.600 of Alexander Hamilton's in DC who said that there was 1162 01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:28.840 an insurrection going on or a rebellion going on in Pennsylvania. 1163 01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:30.800 That's why they call it the Whiskey Rebellion. It wasn't 1164 01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:33.840 a rebellion. It was an aggressive march to get the 1165 01:15:33.880 --> 01:15:39.479 Whiskey excise tax by Washington and Hamilton and many of 1166 01:15:39.520 --> 01:15:44.640 the people who had they wanted money and they were 1167 01:15:44.640 --> 01:15:48.079 holding onto the war bonds that Hamilton had said you'll 1168 01:15:48.079 --> 01:15:51.079 get paid back one hundred percent because we'll have taxing 1169 01:15:51.119 --> 01:15:54.399 authority under the Constitution. But even though they put the 1170 01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:58.399 excise taxing authority in there, they didn't explicitly spell out 1171 01:15:58.439 --> 01:16:02.039 how they could collect the excise tax. So people were 1172 01:16:02.079 --> 01:16:05.279 trying to figure it out because they can't send federal 1173 01:16:05.319 --> 01:16:09.119 troops into states unless the states invite them in. So 1174 01:16:09.159 --> 01:16:12.680 they reached loggerheads there and you can read the constitution, 1175 01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:16.479 you can check it out. It doesn't work. Seriously, like you, 1176 01:16:17.000 --> 01:16:19.319 it doesn't work. They can't send the troops in unless 1177 01:16:19.319 --> 01:16:23.279 they're invited in. So that's very interesting, and that it's 1178 01:16:23.319 --> 01:16:25.319 not a standing army. It's supposed to be the militia. 1179 01:16:25.439 --> 01:16:28.159 It's not a US army, not the Marines, not the 1180 01:16:28.199 --> 01:16:31.399 Air Force or anything like that. Right, they have a navy. 1181 01:16:31.840 --> 01:16:34.279 But as far as the land troops go, that's the militia. 1182 01:16:34.319 --> 01:16:36.560 That's us. We're supposed to be in our states. If 1183 01:16:36.600 --> 01:16:39.119 we get if we get called up supposedly under their 1184 01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:42.319 constitution by a declaration of war, which is the only 1185 01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:44.159 thing they can do to send the troops under the 1186 01:16:44.199 --> 01:16:47.800 command of the president anywhere, then we can decide if 1187 01:16:47.800 --> 01:16:49.000 we want to go or we don't want to go. 1188 01:16:49.159 --> 01:16:54.199 Otherwise we can stay. That's the militia, that's all. That's 1189 01:16:54.239 --> 01:16:56.479 why we're all supposed to be armed. So you know, 1190 01:16:56.640 --> 01:16:59.000 we can fight back against guys like George Washington when 1191 01:16:59.039 --> 01:17:04.840 they come after us for making whiskey. So let's continue. 1192 01:17:04.960 --> 01:17:09.199 Oh and by the way, great comments inside X for 1193 01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:13.720 previous segments. HRC's right hand man off the books, Sid 1194 01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:19.399 Blumenthal in deep with Benghazi and Libya's destruction. Absolutely right, Jennifer, 1195 01:17:19.439 --> 01:17:23.079 thank you, Thank you Russian guys for spreading the Russian propaganda. 1196 01:17:23.319 --> 01:17:26.840 Trump was furious with Germany getting its energy from Russia. 1197 01:17:27.119 --> 01:17:31.000 Trump wanted that stopped. Yeah, very interesting. You know, this 1198 01:17:31.119 --> 01:17:34.960 whole play was with the Saudis that were you know, 1199 01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:37.199 they could see starting in two thousand and eight, two 1200 01:17:37.199 --> 01:17:40.000 thousand and nine, Jennifer I started to really watch what 1201 01:17:40.079 --> 01:17:44.039 was going on with the Russians very closely because with 1202 01:17:44.159 --> 01:17:47.840 the two thousand and eight American Recovery Act, Obama and 1203 01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:50.199 you know, the rest of the crew, they created basically, 1204 01:17:50.359 --> 01:17:54.720 you know, twenty trillion dollars or twenty billion dollars out 1205 01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:57.920 of thin air? Was a twenty billion Oh no, it 1206 01:17:57.960 --> 01:18:02.399 was seven. They gave seventeen billion just to GM, so 1207 01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:04.119 it was more like, I think it was more like 1208 01:18:05.239 --> 01:18:08.359 two or three trillion dollars, that's what it was. So 1209 01:18:08.600 --> 01:18:11.720 they knew, the foreigners knew that you can't just create 1210 01:18:11.760 --> 01:18:14.960 this money out of nothing and see the value of 1211 01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:17.840 the monetary units remain the same. It's going to drop. 1212 01:18:18.239 --> 01:18:21.600 So they started to drop their long term bond purchases. 1213 01:18:21.640 --> 01:18:24.720 The Chinese dropped their long term bombs, the bonds. They 1214 01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:27.000 weren't going to buy the ten year bond anymore. The 1215 01:18:27.079 --> 01:18:30.119 Russians did the same thing. They were going with short term. 1216 01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:32.279 They weren't doing long terms, and the Americans didn't like 1217 01:18:32.359 --> 01:18:34.600 that at all. Well, why buy a long term bond 1218 01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:36.600 if it's going to get paid back later and the 1219 01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:39.199 value of it's going to be even lower? Right, the 1220 01:18:39.199 --> 01:18:41.840 buying power of it. I mean, it's been watered down 1221 01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:46.079 so much by inflation. No thank you. Right, So that's 1222 01:18:46.119 --> 01:18:51.520 when they started to orient again towards demonizing Russia. And 1223 01:18:51.800 --> 01:18:55.079 you could see, of course, the overthrow of Kadafi. If 1224 01:18:55.079 --> 01:18:58.000 you look at the WikiLeaks emails of the Hillary Clinton 1225 01:18:58.039 --> 01:19:01.119 emails that WikiLeaks released, you can see the interior emails 1226 01:19:01.159 --> 01:19:02.920 where she talked about how it'll be a good thing 1227 01:19:02.960 --> 01:19:06.399 to overthrow Caddaffe because he's starting a gold based currency. 1228 01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:09.720 Captain Sensible, the guitarist of the Damn My Favorite band, 1229 01:19:11.159 --> 01:19:12.840 he sat down a dinner with me and a friend 1230 01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:15.399 of mine from the Free State Project one time down 1231 01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:18.159 to Boston, and he's like, yeah, you know, we started 1232 01:19:18.159 --> 01:19:21.279 talking about kadaff and and he knew about it. He's like, yeah, 1233 01:19:21.319 --> 01:19:24.560 he was gonna start an African African gold based currency. 1234 01:19:24.600 --> 01:19:27.239 That's why they knocked him out, absolutely right. And you know, 1235 01:19:27.279 --> 01:19:29.680 Kadaffi had played along with the United States for quite 1236 01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:32.359 a while, opened up. He wasn't a good guy either, 1237 01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:34.560 you know, he'd opened up some of those rendition camps 1238 01:19:34.560 --> 01:19:38.039 and so on that John Kuriaku exposed and had hats off. 1239 01:19:38.199 --> 01:19:40.520 What a great guy John is. He is such a 1240 01:19:40.640 --> 01:19:43.720 nice guy. I've only met him once, but we just 1241 01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:47.560 you know, became real quick. You know, got along great. 1242 01:19:47.560 --> 01:19:49.680 We've got along great. And of course he's been on 1243 01:19:49.720 --> 01:19:52.760 with David many many times. So thank you very very much. 1244 01:19:52.840 --> 01:19:58.359 I appreciate that great, great comments all the way, and 1245 01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:01.640 also thank you ushers. Let's get this up there as well. 1246 01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:09.439 Uh don don don't don't BESHI ninety nine. I'm not 1247 01:20:09.479 --> 01:20:12.039 sure if I'm reading that right. The wicked walk on 1248 01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:19.039 every side when the violence men are excited. Boy, isn't 1249 01:20:19.039 --> 01:20:25.920 that true? Yeah, So let's continue again, not too intensely critical, 1250 01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:28.760 but just again to to sort of put on balance 1251 01:20:28.800 --> 01:20:32.159 as we approach Donald Trump coming into office here, I 1252 01:20:32.159 --> 01:20:35.560 think it's important to see some of the manifestations of 1253 01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:37.239 this hero worship. 1254 01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:39.680 And we take control of our future again. I mean, 1255 01:20:39.760 --> 01:20:42.239 it's been the most wonderful Christmas season. 1256 01:20:41.960 --> 01:20:44.760 Nor Okay, So again I'm just gonna bring this up 1257 01:20:45.239 --> 01:20:47.560 hopping in real quick. The use of the pronoun we 1258 01:20:48.199 --> 01:20:51.000 is a collectivist political term. When it's used in politics, 1259 01:20:51.079 --> 01:20:52.960 it means you are going to be part of their plans. 1260 01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:57.119 And how can you get we take control of our future? 1261 01:20:57.479 --> 01:21:01.039 You see the problem there? You know, Well, it's even 1262 01:21:01.079 --> 01:21:07.039 the Declaration of Independence. Right, we'll go with the constitution. 1263 01:21:07.399 --> 01:21:10.680 We the people of the United States. I'm sorry, but 1264 01:21:10.800 --> 01:21:13.439 to be honest, they're not speaking for all the people 1265 01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:15.600 in the United States. It's we, the people who are 1266 01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:19.880 writing this piece of paper. And Lessander Spooner in the 1267 01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:24.880 eighteen hundreds, his treatise called no Treason the Constitution of 1268 01:21:24.920 --> 01:21:27.960 no Authority spells it out very clearly. They had no 1269 01:21:28.039 --> 01:21:31.239 authority over people to say, I'm going to write for 1270 01:21:31.319 --> 01:21:34.640 you what's in here. And even if they claimed representation 1271 01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:37.439 of certain people, mathematically it's impossible to be able to 1272 01:21:37.479 --> 01:21:40.840 represent all the people. And it was a political system, 1273 01:21:40.960 --> 01:21:46.520 so therefore there's really no voluntary representation at all. So 1274 01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:50.560 the we, the people think we, is used by politicians. 1275 01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:53.960 It's like the royal we, but they've reconstituted it to 1276 01:21:54.000 --> 01:21:58.079 be the democratic royal wei. So it's even more pernicious. 1277 01:21:58.880 --> 01:22:01.960 In the olden days, in the old medieval days of 1278 01:22:02.119 --> 01:22:05.840 the of the royal peerage system, people understood and I 1279 01:22:05.880 --> 01:22:09.079 mentioned this on on the Liberty Conspiracy. Uh J R. R. 1280 01:22:09.079 --> 01:22:11.880 Tolkien wrote to his son and said, I would describe 1281 01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:15.359 myself as an anarchist, or I would go with a monarchy, 1282 01:22:15.680 --> 01:22:22.000 much like Hans Hermann Happa, the contemporary philosopher, because he said, uh, 1283 01:22:22.079 --> 01:22:23.399 democracy is a canard. 1284 01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:24.159 Uh. 1285 01:22:24.199 --> 01:22:26.680 They're telling you that you rule yourself, but really it's 1286 01:22:26.800 --> 01:22:30.039 gang rule. That's what democracy is, right, you know, the 1287 01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:32.840 two wolves and a sheep. That's the whole thing. But 1288 01:22:34.399 --> 01:22:39.159 the royal we was Tolkien recognized that people understood the 1289 01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:42.640 difference between the state as the French, you know, Great 1290 01:22:42.720 --> 01:22:46.520 King Louis said Le Saintmois, I am the state, and 1291 01:22:46.680 --> 01:22:49.159 when they would use they would speak about themselves in 1292 01:22:49.239 --> 01:22:56.640 the third person we third person plural, we we say this, 1293 01:22:57.039 --> 01:22:59.960 we command this because they represent the state. I am 1294 01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:03.399 the state, and the people were seen as the civilians. 1295 01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:06.199 That was why there was this distinction supposedly during war, 1296 01:23:06.520 --> 01:23:08.840 where only the knights who signed up to fight for 1297 01:23:08.880 --> 01:23:11.079 the king and get paid by the king would be 1298 01:23:13.279 --> 01:23:16.920 in threats threatened during war, and civilians were supposed to 1299 01:23:16.960 --> 01:23:19.880 be left alone, you know, women and children. That sort 1300 01:23:19.880 --> 01:23:22.760 of thing. Obviously didn't work out that way, with pillaging often, 1301 01:23:22.880 --> 01:23:29.079 but there was supposedly that supposedly chivalrous rules of war, 1302 01:23:29.279 --> 01:23:32.079 which is why the term declaration of war is capitalized 1303 01:23:32.119 --> 01:23:36.039 in the Constitution because it's a term of art. Unfortunately 1304 01:23:36.079 --> 01:23:40.000 it's the dark art. But so Toldien said, you know, 1305 01:23:40.079 --> 01:23:43.119 at least if you've got a monarchy, you know who 1306 01:23:43.159 --> 01:23:46.960 your enemy is. You're not sold this snake oil, this 1307 01:23:47.079 --> 01:23:51.720 canard that it's you, it's the royal We in democracy, 1308 01:23:51.800 --> 01:23:54.319 Now it's us. What if I don't want to be 1309 01:23:54.359 --> 01:23:56.880 part of your Wii? And I'll give you a great example. 1310 01:23:57.000 --> 01:24:01.159 F Paul Wilson, a great libertarian writer. Doctor read his 1311 01:24:01.279 --> 01:24:04.520 Repairman Jack novels. They're phenomenal. I've had stuff turned into 1312 01:24:04.760 --> 01:24:10.199 into movies, really really great stuff. So F Paul Wilson 1313 01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:14.039 and I and my friend Tom Antileoni. Tom was on 1314 01:24:14.039 --> 01:24:16.319 on on the program last time. I filled in for David, 1315 01:24:17.079 --> 01:24:21.800 another great writer. We're all libertarians, and we would attend 1316 01:24:21.840 --> 01:24:25.880 this thing called Camp nikon the Northeast Writers Convention in 1317 01:24:25.960 --> 01:24:27.800 Rhode Island every summer and they would have a little 1318 01:24:27.840 --> 01:24:31.399 cookout and a lot of people be hanging around and 1319 01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:35.000 it's aid, you know, sort of dust towards darkness. So uh, 1320 01:24:35.079 --> 01:24:40.840 someone said to Paul, we have to we have to 1321 01:24:42.119 --> 01:24:47.319 provide healthcare for people, and so he justs, who's this Wii? 1322 01:24:48.119 --> 01:24:51.399 Because it's just assumed that if you are if you 1323 01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:53.520 want to be left alone, you're not part of their we, 1324 01:24:54.359 --> 01:24:56.920 then somehow you're the bad guy. But they're the ones 1325 01:24:56.920 --> 01:25:00.319 who are engaging in the activity, initiating the aggressive action 1326 01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:03.600 of pulling you in with those arms of the royal 1327 01:25:03.680 --> 01:25:07.560 we now reconstituted in democracy. So there we are. It's 1328 01:25:07.600 --> 01:25:07.920 the we. 1329 01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:13.079 Can flush the entire Biden administration down the drain in 1330 01:25:13.119 --> 01:25:14.039 the very near future. 1331 01:25:14.520 --> 01:25:17.239 We can focus on what is good for Americans. 1332 01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:20.560 And we will place their needs first and foremost. 1333 01:25:20.680 --> 01:25:22.479 What an idea, what a concept? 1334 01:25:22.600 --> 01:25:26.760 Making citizenship great again and making citizenship actually matter? 1335 01:25:26.840 --> 01:25:31.840 And so if he's going to say that American interests 1336 01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:36.199 are going to be placed first, how is it square 1337 01:25:36.199 --> 01:25:41.760 auble with Donald Trump having dinner with Benjamin Egnieu's wife 1338 01:25:42.319 --> 01:25:45.239 and promising, and not only that, but what he did 1339 01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:54.439 previously with Israel? How about that? Is that putting America first? 1340 01:25:54.680 --> 01:25:58.840 Or is that putting APAC first? And Sheldon Edelssen's widow first? 1341 01:25:59.119 --> 01:25:59.720 How about that? 1342 01:26:00.319 --> 01:26:03.359 Right again, let's start with this today. 1343 01:26:03.520 --> 01:26:07.199 If you miss the Christmas wish from President Elic Donald 1344 01:26:07.199 --> 01:26:10.560 Trump and soon to be First Lady of Milanya, I thought. 1345 01:26:10.319 --> 01:26:12.600 You should hear it. It's pretty special. 1346 01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:14.520 And it's quite different than what we've heard the last 1347 01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:15.159 four years. 1348 01:26:15.560 --> 01:26:16.079 Listen to this. 1349 01:26:17.319 --> 01:26:20.880 The President and I want to wish every American a 1350 01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:22.399 very merry Christmas. 1351 01:26:23.039 --> 01:26:26.800 During the sacred season, Christians celebrate the greatest. 1352 01:26:26.399 --> 01:26:27.920 Miracle in human history. 1353 01:26:28.479 --> 01:26:31.760 More than two thousand years ago, God sent his only 1354 01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:35.680 begotten son to be with us. An angel announced the 1355 01:26:35.720 --> 01:26:40.000 birth of our Lord and Savior to humble shepherds. He said, 1356 01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:43.800 I bring you good news that will cause great joy 1357 01:26:44.359 --> 01:26:45.439 for all of the people. 1358 01:26:46.239 --> 01:26:48.720 Today in the town of David, A savior has been 1359 01:26:48.760 --> 01:26:49.319 born to you. 1360 01:26:50.000 --> 01:26:51.439 He is the Messiah, the Lord. 1361 01:26:52.319 --> 01:26:55.720 He will find a baby wrapptid clothes and lying in 1362 01:26:55.760 --> 01:26:59.920 a manger. At Christmas, we thank God for sending us 1363 01:27:00.119 --> 01:27:03.159 his son to bring peace to our souls and enjoy 1364 01:27:03.319 --> 01:27:03.880 to the world. 1365 01:27:04.159 --> 01:27:09.119 So again, quick addendum here. Why is it that Donald 1366 01:27:09.199 --> 01:27:14.399 Trump sat as an occupying force in Syria and worked 1367 01:27:14.439 --> 01:27:21.319 with radical Islamic forces like Abu Muhammad al Galani to 1368 01:27:21.359 --> 01:27:25.520 send weapons around to run that third of Syria, which 1369 01:27:25.600 --> 01:27:28.840 is larger than the area of Ukraine that the Russian's 1370 01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:32.439 ever taken. Why is it that that is acceptable for 1371 01:27:32.520 --> 01:27:35.840 this supposed Christian I don't know. I just throw that 1372 01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:38.079 out there as a question. But to me, there's a 1373 01:27:38.079 --> 01:27:43.359 bit of a discord between what he's saying and his actions. 1374 01:27:43.640 --> 01:27:47.239 Why is it that he calls himself a Christian and 1375 01:27:47.319 --> 01:27:50.720 yet he engages in things like, oh, I don't know, 1376 01:27:51.720 --> 01:27:55.439 claiming the power to be able to take my money 1377 01:27:55.479 --> 01:27:59.000 to fund universities. I didn't know that that was Christian. 1378 01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:03.720 In this wonderful time of year, we also give thanks 1379 01:28:04.079 --> 01:28:07.960 for the brave and selfless Americans who keep us safe. 1380 01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:11.840 We are forever grateful for the men and women of 1381 01:28:11.920 --> 01:28:12.800 law enforcement. 1382 01:28:13.199 --> 01:28:17.720 So again, uh, we'll just gonna just finish off with this. 1383 01:28:17.840 --> 01:28:22.239 Let me ask you, as I mentioned before, law enforcement, 1384 01:28:22.359 --> 01:28:24.880 brave law enforcement. Absolutely. I know a lot of cops. 1385 01:28:24.920 --> 01:28:27.119 They are trying to do the right thing. Right. Are 1386 01:28:27.119 --> 01:28:28.880 they first responders? Statistically? 1387 01:28:28.960 --> 01:28:29.039 No? 1388 01:28:29.760 --> 01:28:33.000 Are the soldiers? And if you know anybody in the military, 1389 01:28:33.239 --> 01:28:36.960 if you're in the military, how does it make you feel? 1390 01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:40.199 And I've had conversations with guys at the airport who 1391 01:28:40.239 --> 01:28:43.359 are in there fatigues they're gonna ship off. I've approached 1392 01:28:43.359 --> 01:28:45.359 them and say, hey, I just got a question. I 1393 01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:47.000 want to approach it, you know, kindly, if you don't 1394 01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:48.720 want to answer it. It's final, just walk away. But 1395 01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:51.960 I am curious because I know you swear an oath 1396 01:28:52.000 --> 01:28:56.560 to the Constitution and you only follow constitutional orders, right, yes, 1397 01:28:57.239 --> 01:29:00.239 how do you feel that you're being deployed at as 1398 01:29:00.279 --> 01:29:04.439 we heard General Major General Ryders say they're deployed? How 1399 01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:08.039 can you be deployed if there's no declaration of war? 1400 01:29:09.600 --> 01:29:13.760 And the answer is not well, as some people might say, well, 1401 01:29:13.800 --> 01:29:16.960 they've been doing it since World War Two, that's not acceptable. 1402 01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:20.920 You can't say, well, he's been beating his wife since 1403 01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:24.600 they got married, so I guess it's okay. No, sorry, 1404 01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:30.960 not working. Not a functional answer. The synapses aren't connecting 1405 01:29:31.000 --> 01:29:36.720 on that doesn't work. It's you're you're deluding your yourself 1406 01:29:38.000 --> 01:29:42.039 if you call yourself a constitutionalist if one is supposedly 1407 01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:48.159 doing honor to the founders. And again, I don't accept 1408 01:29:48.199 --> 01:29:52.000 that the founders can write anything that has any authority 1409 01:29:52.079 --> 01:29:55.960 over me. I wasn't there. It's that's just the fact 1410 01:29:56.000 --> 01:29:58.439 of it. And the fact that I don't run away 1411 01:29:59.000 --> 01:30:02.239 when agents of that entity that they created come after me, 1412 01:30:03.039 --> 01:30:06.159 just again shows that I don't have to run away. 1413 01:30:06.279 --> 01:30:08.560 I shouldn't have to run away. I should be a 1414 01:30:08.640 --> 01:30:13.119 free person to be able to be left alone, regardless 1415 01:30:13.119 --> 01:30:15.199 of whether people hold up a piece of paper and say, 1416 01:30:15.399 --> 01:30:17.319 you know, some people wrote down that I can come 1417 01:30:17.359 --> 01:30:19.880 after you. Now they put some barriers in there. I 1418 01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:23.600 don't even care about the barriers. But we got authority 1419 01:30:23.640 --> 01:30:25.920 over you. No, you don't have authority over me. I 1420 01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:28.359 didn't give it to you. God didn't give it to you. 1421 01:30:28.720 --> 01:30:33.359 Leave me alone. How about that? How is it that 1422 01:30:33.479 --> 01:30:37.920 people in the military can be seen by Donald Trump 1423 01:30:37.920 --> 01:30:43.159 and others as being heroic and defending the United States 1424 01:30:44.159 --> 01:30:47.119 when they're sitting in Syria and he left them there. 1425 01:30:48.399 --> 01:30:54.680 I'm just wondering about that. What do you think? And 1426 01:30:54.760 --> 01:30:58.039 I'm curious to get a lot of opinions, So drop 1427 01:30:58.119 --> 01:31:01.479 your messages inside the check here in the David Knight Show, 1428 01:31:02.199 --> 01:31:07.039 and let's take the opportunity to give you something that 1429 01:31:07.720 --> 01:31:14.479 you know what I was thinking about this. Let's go 1430 01:31:14.600 --> 01:31:19.880 back to those olden days and think about a film 1431 01:31:19.920 --> 01:31:23.560 that actually is based on a real person from the Revolution. 1432 01:31:23.800 --> 01:31:26.560 I haven't even seen this movie, but David, again with 1433 01:31:26.640 --> 01:31:32.000 his musical power, put something together to remind us of freedom. 1434 01:31:32.359 --> 01:31:34.760 You're in the David Knight Show. 1435 01:33:08.960 --> 01:33:11.479 Liberty it's your move. 1436 01:33:12.760 --> 01:33:15.319 And now the David Knight Show. 1437 01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:20.720 Well, here filling in for David Knight. I feel very 1438 01:33:20.760 --> 01:33:24.319 delighted and honored to be with you the audience and 1439 01:33:24.640 --> 01:33:27.520 hopefully doing a good job for David, coming in from Liberty, 1440 01:33:27.560 --> 01:33:32.039 Conspiracy and MRCTV and thinking about all of you in 1441 01:33:32.079 --> 01:33:34.960 the audience out there on all the different platforms. Again, 1442 01:33:35.239 --> 01:33:38.039 don't forget you can donate to David today as we 1443 01:33:38.159 --> 01:33:41.079 round off the month. That's a big, big deal and 1444 01:33:41.119 --> 01:33:43.600 I'll feel like I'm doing a good job for David 1445 01:33:43.640 --> 01:33:45.760 as well. If you want to donate on rockfin, on Rumble, 1446 01:33:45.840 --> 01:33:47.880 anything like that, you can go to the website to 1447 01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:49.920 find all those other areas. And I want to tell 1448 01:33:49.920 --> 01:33:53.319 you about another website that you might want to check 1449 01:33:53.359 --> 01:33:59.119 out often every day. It is Ericpetersautos dot com. And 1450 01:33:59.159 --> 01:34:00.960 if you go over there, going to see a really 1451 01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:04.600 cool image of one of my favorite cars. But before 1452 01:34:04.640 --> 01:34:07.159 we go to his website, I want to show you 1453 01:34:07.199 --> 01:34:10.680 something from his x feed that I think you'll enjoy. 1454 01:34:11.039 --> 01:34:12.760 Let me bring this on to the stage and then 1455 01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:15.479 we'll welcome our guest, Eric Peters of Eric Peters Autos. 1456 01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:19.439 He says, what is it with this adulation of more 1457 01:34:19.560 --> 01:34:29.000 efficient government. Isn't that like mending rather than ending exactly exactly? 1458 01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:30.960 And this is one of the major problems I've had 1459 01:34:30.960 --> 01:34:36.920 with Elon Musk and with Vibek Ramashwami. It's all based 1460 01:34:37.000 --> 01:34:42.439 on outcome. It's all based on not the philosophy of 1461 01:34:42.600 --> 01:34:45.800 rights and at least what the standards are supposed to 1462 01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:49.840 be based on their constitution. None of that is part 1463 01:34:49.840 --> 01:34:52.760 of their calculus. If it's not in the Constitution, they're 1464 01:34:52.760 --> 01:34:55.680 not questioning whether it is or is not there. They're 1465 01:34:55.760 --> 01:34:59.640 questioning the efficiency of it. Well, if you can have 1466 01:35:00.079 --> 01:35:04.479 a much more efficient guillotine and you're lopping the heads 1467 01:35:04.520 --> 01:35:08.079 off French people who are innocent people, does that make 1468 01:35:08.119 --> 01:35:12.600 it better? I don't think so. I don't think so. 1469 01:35:13.359 --> 01:35:16.960 The ideas are pernicious at their outset. And this is 1470 01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:18.920 one of the reasons why I try to remind people 1471 01:35:18.920 --> 01:35:22.840 that immigration is not in the US Constitution as a 1472 01:35:23.039 --> 01:35:27.319 federal issue. It's a state issue. So let's turn to 1473 01:35:27.560 --> 01:35:30.680 Eric Peters now, who has a lot to tell us 1474 01:35:30.680 --> 01:35:34.800 about Elon Musk and many other things. He's with us 1475 01:35:34.800 --> 01:35:38.880 now in the David Knight Show. Hello Eric, and welcome 1476 01:35:38.960 --> 01:35:42.760 and Happy New Year. Early and Happy Christmas. Late goodness 1477 01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:43.199 to you. 1478 01:35:43.479 --> 01:35:46.840 A likewise card. I guess I'm filling in for me today. Yes, 1479 01:35:47.680 --> 01:35:50.479 I'm glad you saw my little post on X too, 1480 01:35:50.520 --> 01:35:53.039 because it got under my skin. You know, this business 1481 01:35:53.039 --> 01:35:56.000 about making government more efficient, and I got to thinking 1482 01:35:56.000 --> 01:36:01.159 about how efficient the NKVD era was at Russia. They 1483 01:36:01.199 --> 01:36:02.640 were really good. You know, if you want to read 1484 01:36:02.640 --> 01:36:06.359 about how efficient government can be, I recommend reading Zolshnisen's 1485 01:36:06.840 --> 01:36:11.399 Gulag Archipelago. They were efficient at organizing and rounding up 1486 01:36:11.399 --> 01:36:14.279 people and shipping them off to internment camps. 1487 01:36:14.840 --> 01:36:17.119 Absolutely, And you know it's interesting. I don't know if 1488 01:36:17.159 --> 01:36:20.000 you've you know Amity Schlaz she had that book, The 1489 01:36:20.079 --> 01:36:22.520 Forgotten Man, And in the opening of The Forgotten Man, 1490 01:36:22.800 --> 01:36:26.840 she has all these FDR supporters, you know, the administrators 1491 01:36:26.840 --> 01:36:30.520 in the FDR camp. How they're all admiring Stalin and 1492 01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:32.600 how he's making the trains work on time. They're on 1493 01:36:32.640 --> 01:36:35.680 a train. I thought, yeah, you know those trains where 1494 01:36:35.760 --> 01:36:38.079 people froze to death. And I talked about that book 1495 01:36:38.079 --> 01:36:40.760 called The Long Walk, about those guys who were brought 1496 01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:44.279 up to the Gulag and they escaped and they walked 1497 01:36:44.359 --> 01:36:46.600 like three and a half thousand miles to India. Not 1498 01:36:46.680 --> 01:36:50.359 all of them survived, and they described how awful it 1499 01:36:50.600 --> 01:36:53.199 was on those trains going those I don't know how 1500 01:36:53.199 --> 01:36:56.079 many miles, and day after day in cold weather where 1501 01:36:56.119 --> 01:37:00.119 they would make circles, most of them were naked. They 1502 01:37:00.119 --> 01:37:03.600 would make circles because the exterior of the train car 1503 01:37:03.840 --> 01:37:07.399 the interior near the walls of the exterior were so 1504 01:37:07.600 --> 01:37:10.199 cold that they would take turns to try to get 1505 01:37:10.319 --> 01:37:12.439 to the center of the car where body heat could 1506 01:37:12.520 --> 01:37:15.399 keep them warmer. And sometimes guys would freeze to death 1507 01:37:15.880 --> 01:37:19.079 on their feet inside the cars. 1508 01:37:18.880 --> 01:37:20.199 Like penguins and Antarctica. 1509 01:37:20.920 --> 01:37:23.960 Yes, yes, absolutely, And he said you wouldn't realize it 1510 01:37:24.079 --> 01:37:26.319 until you've been You do your turn, walk and you 1511 01:37:26.439 --> 01:37:29.960 bump into somebody who was just standing there, and so 1512 01:37:30.119 --> 01:37:34.239 that's that's government efficiency. You're absolutely I'm so. I thought 1513 01:37:34.239 --> 01:37:37.159 I was all alone because everybody is applauding Elon Musk, 1514 01:37:37.399 --> 01:37:40.920 and I just thought, you know this, this is consequentialist thinking. 1515 01:37:41.000 --> 01:37:43.720 This has nothing to do with morality. You're just talking 1516 01:37:43.760 --> 01:37:45.680 about how to make a better engine that can run 1517 01:37:45.720 --> 01:37:46.840 over somebody. That's all. 1518 01:37:47.119 --> 01:37:49.079 Yeah, And this is what's so frustrating to me. About 1519 01:37:49.279 --> 01:37:52.119 and I'm just kind of being loosier with the terminology. 1520 01:37:52.159 --> 01:37:57.319 But conservatives and Republicans they agree with their putative opponents 1521 01:37:57.359 --> 01:38:01.279 on the left fundamentally. It's not they're opposed to government. 1522 01:38:01.319 --> 01:38:03.199 What they're opposed to is what the left wants to 1523 01:38:03.199 --> 01:38:06.239 do with government. They want to do something different with government, 1524 01:38:06.640 --> 01:38:09.159 and they wonder why we get more government all the time? 1525 01:38:09.439 --> 01:38:11.359 You know, how do you how do you stop that 1526 01:38:11.439 --> 01:38:15.119 without standing on the principle that no, this fundamentally is 1527 01:38:15.119 --> 01:38:16.680 a long thing to do, that this is not the 1528 01:38:16.760 --> 01:38:19.880 legitimate business of government. Instead of saying well, or rather 1529 01:38:19.920 --> 01:38:21.560 than saying, we're going to make it more efficient, you know, 1530 01:38:21.560 --> 01:38:23.199 we're going to we're going to do a better job 1531 01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:27.399 of the administrative state managing people's lives. 1532 01:38:27.279 --> 01:38:29.920 Right right, And I think it goes towards you know, 1533 01:38:30.039 --> 01:38:35.520 the classic I think the most salient aspects of critics 1534 01:38:35.560 --> 01:38:41.199 of Elon Musk might first be Elon Musk talks about 1535 01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:44.520 government efficiency and waste. You know, he'll even quote some 1536 01:38:44.600 --> 01:38:47.840 of the Austrian economists. He'll you know, he's posting things 1537 01:38:47.920 --> 01:38:50.079 up there, not from an Austrian in a Chicago school, 1538 01:38:50.119 --> 01:38:52.079 but you know, he's posting things up on his x 1539 01:38:52.119 --> 01:38:54.640 feet from Milton Friedman. And that's all well and good, 1540 01:38:54.720 --> 01:38:59.000 but there's a great example where Friedman was a monetarist, 1541 01:38:59.399 --> 01:39:03.720 a Chicago Go school economists who didn't mind things like 1542 01:39:04.199 --> 01:39:08.159 FDIC Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation he had. He didn't have 1543 01:39:08.159 --> 01:39:12.319 a problem with that. That's wildly unstable. It caused the 1544 01:39:12.399 --> 01:39:15.920 nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one housing crisis, where a bunch 1545 01:39:15.960 --> 01:39:18.079 of people, because they increased the amount of money that 1546 01:39:18.119 --> 01:39:21.920 they were allowing the FDIC to ensure banks, the banks 1547 01:39:21.960 --> 01:39:24.439 started to lend out even more money because they had 1548 01:39:24.439 --> 01:39:26.520 a moral hazard that opened up. They could say, oh, 1549 01:39:26.520 --> 01:39:28.039 we can just let it out. We'll give it, you know, 1550 01:39:28.039 --> 01:39:30.000 we'll give the money away for cheap, we'll get it 1551 01:39:30.000 --> 01:39:32.840 paid back. That's exactly what they did. People couldn't afford 1552 01:39:32.840 --> 01:39:34.880 their homes, and we had a housing bus in nineteen 1553 01:39:34.920 --> 01:39:37.880 ninety nineteen ninety one. I worked at an auction firm 1554 01:39:37.880 --> 01:39:41.079 after I got out of college and showed those houses off. 1555 01:39:41.119 --> 01:39:43.720 I was at the auctions for the houses and the 1556 01:39:43.760 --> 01:39:47.039 condos that came as a direct result of that. And 1557 01:39:47.640 --> 01:39:51.000 so Elon Musk coming around and doing this sort of thing, 1558 01:39:51.279 --> 01:39:54.439 quoting people like Milton Friedman. That doesn't show that he's 1559 01:39:54.680 --> 01:39:56.880 really you know, Friedman was great and his son is 1560 01:39:56.960 --> 01:40:00.560 even better. But Freedman did allow for the existence of 1561 01:40:00.600 --> 01:40:04.880 government and a lot of things that first aren't even constitutional, right, 1562 01:40:05.359 --> 01:40:09.000 And second he would go with say, vouchers for schools, Well, 1563 01:40:09.000 --> 01:40:14.600 that's still government taking people's money. And maybe Friedman eventually 1564 01:40:14.640 --> 01:40:16.960 got convinced that it might be a means to an end, 1565 01:40:17.239 --> 01:40:21.640 but it then injects government into the money wherever it goes, 1566 01:40:21.640 --> 01:40:24.119 and it starts to corrupt even private schools that have 1567 01:40:24.199 --> 01:40:28.680 to conform or charter schools that have to conform. So Musk, unfortunately, 1568 01:40:28.720 --> 01:40:31.319 with this consequentialist outcome based thing, I think some of 1569 01:40:31.399 --> 01:40:34.079 the first things that people think of are didn't you 1570 01:40:34.159 --> 01:40:38.119 take money for your rockets? Aren't you doing government contracts? 1571 01:40:38.479 --> 01:40:42.439 Are so won't he won't question the underlying assumptions that 1572 01:40:42.479 --> 01:40:44.920 government should be doing X, Y and Z that are 1573 01:40:45.039 --> 01:40:48.199 nowhere near what the Founders, at least with the Founders 1574 01:40:48.479 --> 01:40:51.960 had envisioned at all at all. In any way, there's 1575 01:40:52.000 --> 01:40:56.239 a disingenuous duality about Musk. You know, now he's talking 1576 01:40:56.239 --> 01:40:59.119 about how he thinks the federal seventy five hundred dollars 1577 01:40:59.439 --> 01:41:02.399 tax kick back that has been used to help promote 1578 01:41:02.399 --> 01:41:05.199 people buying electric vehicles should be ended. And that's all 1579 01:41:05.239 --> 01:41:05.720 well and good. 1580 01:41:05.800 --> 01:41:09.239 Now that he's established Tesla as the dominant player in 1581 01:41:09.239 --> 01:41:11.520 the field, he wants to take away that rent seeking 1582 01:41:11.560 --> 01:41:15.520 advantage from his opponents. You know, this is this is 1583 01:41:15.520 --> 01:41:17.479 my problem with the guy. You know, he has to 1584 01:41:17.520 --> 01:41:19.920 have it both ways. You know, he's a businessman, he's 1585 01:41:19.960 --> 01:41:23.840 a sharp businessman, and I think it's important to to 1586 01:41:24.079 --> 01:41:26.600 use that as the basis for your evaluating him. You know, 1587 01:41:26.640 --> 01:41:30.079 I've written a number of articles about x and you know, 1588 01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:33.359 and marveled at this idea that he's a free speech guy. 1589 01:41:33.439 --> 01:41:35.720 He's not a free speech guy. He's a paid speech guy. 1590 01:41:36.119 --> 01:41:39.159 And he's also a speech suppressor guy. I point out 1591 01:41:39.159 --> 01:41:43.560 one incontrovertible fact in Brazil, when the government of the 1592 01:41:43.600 --> 01:41:47.279 current government of Brazil demanded that he suppressed the speech 1593 01:41:47.760 --> 01:41:51.800 of certain political wrong thinkers. He initially opposed it, but 1594 01:41:51.840 --> 01:41:53.680 then he realized he was going to lose money, and 1595 01:41:53.720 --> 01:41:56.079 as a businessman, he didn't want to lose money, so 1596 01:41:56.239 --> 01:42:00.680 he acceded to the demands made by the govern of Brazil. 1597 01:42:00.800 --> 01:42:03.199 And he's now suppressing speech in Brazil. So what does 1598 01:42:03.239 --> 01:42:05.239 that tell you? You know, I go by what people do, 1599 01:42:05.560 --> 01:42:07.960 not by what people say. So if you look at 1600 01:42:08.039 --> 01:42:10.520 Musk's actions, you know he's been a rent seeking grifter 1601 01:42:10.600 --> 01:42:14.159 as regardless elect as regards electric vehicles and this free 1602 01:42:14.159 --> 01:42:16.439 speech thing, well, it's paid speech. You pay him a 1603 01:42:16.479 --> 01:42:19.960 fee to be allowed to post things on the platform 1604 01:42:20.039 --> 01:42:23.039 and so that people can see them. And yeah, they're 1605 01:42:23.119 --> 01:42:25.880 subject to his whims. You know, try and post something, 1606 01:42:25.920 --> 01:42:28.760 for example, that's critical of the government of Israel and 1607 01:42:28.760 --> 01:42:32.000 what the government of Israel is doing over there, and 1608 01:42:32.079 --> 01:42:34.359 more than likely that is going to be shunted off somewhere. 1609 01:42:34.439 --> 01:42:37.239 And if you continue to do stuff like that, you'll 1610 01:42:37.279 --> 01:42:40.279 find that you have been kicked off the platform entirely. 1611 01:42:40.680 --> 01:42:43.600 Which is precisely the reason. Eric Peters is our guest, folks, 1612 01:42:43.760 --> 01:42:46.560 Eric is precisely the reason. And they explicitly said this 1613 01:42:46.720 --> 01:42:50.399 was the reason in Congress for trying to knock out TikTok, right, 1614 01:42:50.479 --> 01:42:53.000 And we've got the TikTok argument coming up to the 1615 01:42:53.000 --> 01:42:57.279 Supreme Court. And you know, very clear, just who can 1616 01:42:57.479 --> 01:43:04.079 possibly think that a bunch of politicians can tell business people? Hey, Andy, 1617 01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:07.279 They constantly say Oh, it's the Chinese government and it's 1618 01:43:07.319 --> 01:43:10.720 a security thread. Look, first of all, byte Dance is 1619 01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:13.800 not owned by the Chinese government. You know, if you 1620 01:43:13.840 --> 01:43:16.479 want to look at companies that are basically owned or 1621 01:43:16.520 --> 01:43:19.680 run or affiliated with certain governments, look at black Rock, 1622 01:43:19.960 --> 01:43:25.680 look at Uh, look at Lockheed Martin, look at BAE Systems. 1623 01:43:25.960 --> 01:43:28.479 How about those? You know, how about some of these 1624 01:43:28.479 --> 01:43:31.319 green corporations, how about Tesla for a while, you know, 1625 01:43:31.520 --> 01:43:34.600 all these different things, so that whole that whole thing 1626 01:43:34.680 --> 01:43:37.560 is just ridiculous. And then they don't even recognize the 1627 01:43:37.600 --> 01:43:41.840 fact that what what you know, where where's the balance 1628 01:43:41.920 --> 01:43:44.920 of the problem here? Is it the Chinese possibly getting 1629 01:43:45.000 --> 01:43:48.239 my social media, the Chinese government getting my social media 1630 01:43:48.279 --> 01:43:51.359 accounts or my bank account, which is easily hacked by 1631 01:43:51.399 --> 01:43:54.159 anybody who wants to hack this stuff. My social Security 1632 01:43:54.239 --> 01:43:57.479 number was stolen, but because they got into Blue Cross, 1633 01:43:57.520 --> 01:44:01.399 Blue Shield, you know, Uh, the government lost tens of 1634 01:44:01.439 --> 01:44:04.399 thousands of social security numbers just a few years ago. 1635 01:44:04.640 --> 01:44:08.800 They admitted to that the irs. So who's a bigger threat, 1636 01:44:08.880 --> 01:44:13.439 either because of their accidental their errors, or because they 1637 01:44:13.439 --> 01:44:18.039 intentionally through the NSA collect our information, The Chinese or 1638 01:44:18.079 --> 01:44:19.119 the US, you. 1639 01:44:19.039 --> 01:44:21.199 Know, as far as Musc goes, what I would like 1640 01:44:21.239 --> 01:44:24.279 from the man is just some etymological honesty. You know, 1641 01:44:24.399 --> 01:44:27.039 I have no problem with him using X to make money. 1642 01:44:27.239 --> 01:44:29.800 I have no problem with him charging a fee to 1643 01:44:29.880 --> 01:44:32.840 everybody every month in order to be able to use 1644 01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:35.880 the service. But why doesn't he just come out and say, 1645 01:44:35.880 --> 01:44:38.439 this is a fee for service platform. You pay in 1646 01:44:38.560 --> 01:44:40.760 order to be able to post. You pay, and if 1647 01:44:40.760 --> 01:44:42.960 you don't pay, people aren't going to see what you post. 1648 01:44:43.279 --> 01:44:45.800 Because I'm in this to make money. I'm mining your data. 1649 01:44:45.880 --> 01:44:48.760 I'm selling your data to advertisers. That's what I do. 1650 01:44:49.039 --> 01:44:51.199 That's fine. I don't have an issue with that, But 1651 01:44:51.359 --> 01:44:54.039 spare me the cant about free speech, please. 1652 01:44:54.640 --> 01:44:58.319 Yeah. And I think part of it too is you know, 1653 01:44:58.439 --> 01:45:03.079 oh sorry, many times, many times, Eric, i'll see, you know, 1654 01:45:03.359 --> 01:45:06.479 Elon Musk posts some good stuff or he reposts some 1655 01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:09.760 good things. You know, some things are they're very valuable, 1656 01:45:09.800 --> 01:45:13.279 and I always I've never really expressed this, but I hesitate. 1657 01:45:13.399 --> 01:45:16.319 Sometimes if it's a repost, I usually go to the 1658 01:45:16.359 --> 01:45:19.399 original source and I won't post it from Elon Musk. 1659 01:45:19.439 --> 01:45:22.560 I'll post it from the original source rather than Elon Musk, 1660 01:45:22.600 --> 01:45:26.319 and sometimes Musk has valuable comments. He makes some good points, 1661 01:45:26.479 --> 01:45:32.439 you know, and and so I get frustrated because let 1662 01:45:32.439 --> 01:45:35.319 me let me just post this because you've your article. 1663 01:45:35.880 --> 01:45:38.359 In fact, let's go straight to this article right now 1664 01:45:38.479 --> 01:45:43.000 from Eric Petersaudis dot com. You've got deconstructing Elon. I'm 1665 01:45:43.039 --> 01:45:46.039 gonna delay any any further comment because could you tell 1666 01:45:46.079 --> 01:45:48.600 people a little bit of you've sort of touched on this, 1667 01:45:48.680 --> 01:45:50.560 but tell us a little bit more about what this 1668 01:45:50.680 --> 01:45:54.279 piece is that you posted here. This was just yesterday 1669 01:45:54.560 --> 01:45:57.319 and it's just phenomenal. If you could give people a 1670 01:45:57.359 --> 01:45:58.199 quick thumbnail. 1671 01:45:58.319 --> 01:46:01.359 Well, all I do basically is go through some of 1672 01:46:01.399 --> 01:46:04.039 the talking points. You know that we're supposed to accept 1673 01:46:04.560 --> 01:46:07.840 that Elon Musk is some sort of a ladder day 1674 01:46:07.880 --> 01:46:10.960 Henry Ford, you know, an innovator in the free market 1675 01:46:11.159 --> 01:46:15.359 who has produced this phenomenal product that is changing everything. 1676 01:46:15.399 --> 01:46:17.840 And yeah, it is changing everything, but it's entirely artificial 1677 01:46:17.840 --> 01:46:20.800 and it's the antithesis of everything that Henry Ford did. 1678 01:46:21.319 --> 01:46:23.159 You know, Henry Ford came along and figured out a 1679 01:46:23.199 --> 01:46:26.399 way to reduce the cost of a vehicle by simplifying 1680 01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:29.920 it and mass producing it. And Elon Musk has figured 1681 01:46:29.960 --> 01:46:33.079 out a way to make vehicles more expensive through government 1682 01:46:33.119 --> 01:46:37.159 grift and graft, and you know, fundamentally changed the car 1683 01:46:37.279 --> 01:46:39.680 business in that respect. And we've already talked about the 1684 01:46:39.680 --> 01:46:41.960 free speech stuff, and then there's this other stuff. 1685 01:46:42.000 --> 01:46:42.079 This. 1686 01:46:42.319 --> 01:46:44.840 You know, he will, on the one hand, say that 1687 01:46:44.880 --> 01:46:48.079 he's worried about AI and he's worried about what will 1688 01:46:48.079 --> 01:46:50.840 happen with that, and yet he is perhaps the biggest 1689 01:46:51.079 --> 01:46:55.279 pusher and promoter of AI and robotics. So I mean, 1690 01:46:55.279 --> 01:46:57.319 what are you supposed to believe, you know, as somebody 1691 01:46:57.319 --> 01:46:59.760 who's really fascinated by as I think you are as well, 1692 01:47:00.479 --> 01:47:04.439 the National Socialist period in Germany. People who may not 1693 01:47:04.520 --> 01:47:07.800 be very familiar with that era might not know about 1694 01:47:07.960 --> 01:47:11.520 is that when Hitler was campaigning for chancellor the very 1695 01:47:11.520 --> 01:47:14.640 first time he was actually elected chancellor by a plurality 1696 01:47:14.680 --> 01:47:17.800 of the votes, he would travel by plane from one 1697 01:47:17.880 --> 01:47:21.039 city to another city in Germany and give an entirely 1698 01:47:21.039 --> 01:47:23.279 different speech depending on the audience, and he would say 1699 01:47:23.279 --> 01:47:25.840 what they wanted to hear. And you know, people heard 1700 01:47:25.840 --> 01:47:27.399 what they wanted to hear, which I think is part 1701 01:47:27.439 --> 01:47:29.760 of Trump's appeal too, frankly, And I know right now, 1702 01:47:29.840 --> 01:47:31.680 I'm you know, the red hat brigades are probably getting 1703 01:47:31.720 --> 01:47:33.880 very angry at me for seeing that, but they you know, 1704 01:47:33.920 --> 01:47:37.359 and on a human level, it's understandable, particularly when you 1705 01:47:37.399 --> 01:47:40.520 live in a chaotic environment and you're concerned and anxious 1706 01:47:40.560 --> 01:47:43.359 and you hear a political leader or somebody like Musk 1707 01:47:43.359 --> 01:47:47.119 who's influential say something that sort of aligns with, you know, 1708 01:47:47.159 --> 01:47:50.800 what your concerns are. But then he acts differently so 1709 01:47:50.880 --> 01:47:53.680 he may to get the support. And then when he 1710 01:47:53.720 --> 01:47:56.119 does something that ordinarily, if it had been done by 1711 01:47:56.199 --> 01:47:59.119 let's say, Joe Biden, people would have objected to it. 1712 01:48:00.000 --> 01:48:02.479 I've had people the supporters will just kind of ignore 1713 01:48:02.520 --> 01:48:05.960 it or rationalize it. Really good example being Trump's beautiful vaccines, 1714 01:48:06.159 --> 01:48:08.520 which he can talk about. You know, if it were 1715 01:48:08.560 --> 01:48:11.000 Biden seeing that same thing, there would be these these 1716 01:48:11.039 --> 01:48:14.439 these huge and cry outrage about about that. But you know, 1717 01:48:14.840 --> 01:48:16.920 never mind, you know, he really didn't mean that, you know. 1718 01:48:17.039 --> 01:48:18.800 And the same thing with you know what the red 1719 01:48:18.800 --> 01:48:21.399 flag laws and the bump stocks and all this other stuff, 1720 01:48:21.800 --> 01:48:23.840 and with Musk. You know, my god, two years ago, 1721 01:48:23.960 --> 01:48:27.760 Musk was anathema to people on the Republican and conservative 1722 01:48:27.800 --> 01:48:29.600 side for all the reasons that I went through in 1723 01:48:29.640 --> 01:48:32.840 the article which haven't fundamentally changed. They're the same things 1724 01:48:32.880 --> 01:48:35.800 now as they were back then. Musk favors a carbon tax. 1725 01:48:35.840 --> 01:48:38.840 I can't think of nothing that potentially is more threatening 1726 01:48:38.880 --> 01:48:42.039 to our way of life than a carbon tax. About 1727 01:48:42.439 --> 01:48:44.800 this guy's is one of the most ardent believers in 1728 01:48:44.840 --> 01:48:45.600 the carbon tax. 1729 01:48:45.680 --> 01:48:47.760 Yeah. And the other thing too is when you when 1730 01:48:47.760 --> 01:48:50.039 you talk about threatening to our way of life. In 1731 01:48:50.039 --> 01:48:53.159 addition to that, there's that there's the unsound predicate of it, 1732 01:48:53.199 --> 01:48:56.159 the actually you know, the lie at the heart of it, 1733 01:48:56.239 --> 01:48:58.479 you know, the son sanits and don't do not live 1734 01:48:58.520 --> 01:49:01.079 by life, live not by lies. The lie at the 1735 01:49:01.119 --> 01:49:04.560 heart of it is that there's more evidence. And I 1736 01:49:04.600 --> 01:49:07.079 wrote a piece about it talking about this recently because 1737 01:49:07.199 --> 01:49:09.239 Joe Biden, and in fact, I'd like to bring it 1738 01:49:09.319 --> 01:49:11.840 up with you if I can, Eric, Joe Biden just 1739 01:49:11.960 --> 01:49:16.000 engaged in more fascism, and I talk about fascism and 1740 01:49:16.039 --> 01:49:18.399 how in class one of the early things that I 1741 01:49:18.439 --> 01:49:21.319 try to describe to students about the various forms of 1742 01:49:21.319 --> 01:49:25.119 collectivism is fascism, and I discuss how, you know, it's 1743 01:49:25.239 --> 01:49:29.560 crony capitalism, not real capitalism, otherwise known as mercantilism. As 1744 01:49:29.600 --> 01:49:32.359 Adam Smith wrote in the Wealth of Nations in seventeen 1745 01:49:32.439 --> 01:49:36.319 seventy six, it's favoritism. And this is the sort of 1746 01:49:36.359 --> 01:49:39.279 thing that we definitely see with people like Elon Musk 1747 01:49:39.640 --> 01:49:42.880 and Donald Trump engages in this all the time. And 1748 01:49:43.479 --> 01:49:47.960 so Joe Biden is giving money to a coal plant 1749 01:49:47.960 --> 01:49:50.720 in Texas to have them switch out and become a 1750 01:49:50.920 --> 01:49:55.399 solar farm electric provider in Texas, which already has shown 1751 01:49:55.520 --> 01:49:59.840 major problems because they have been pushing away from chi 1752 01:50:00.279 --> 01:50:01.560 Yes petrochemicals. 1753 01:50:01.560 --> 01:50:04.119 It's sposed to do it. It's workism. And you know 1754 01:50:04.399 --> 01:50:08.199 there's also overlap here with the well. Actually, the National 1755 01:50:08.239 --> 01:50:11.520 Socialists and the Soviet Communists both had five year plans. 1756 01:50:12.159 --> 01:50:15.439 You know, they had industrial policy. Everything came from the 1757 01:50:15.439 --> 01:50:18.840 top down. You know, the government would decide what a 1758 01:50:18.880 --> 01:50:21.239 given industry was going to do. It wasn't the free 1759 01:50:21.239 --> 01:50:24.199 market that decided it. The only real difference in say, 1760 01:50:24.319 --> 01:50:27.199 National Socialist Germany versus Soviet Russia was there was still 1761 01:50:27.199 --> 01:50:29.840 this the legal fiction of private property in the sense 1762 01:50:29.880 --> 01:50:34.000 that you know, corporations were still nominally privately owned, but 1763 01:50:34.039 --> 01:50:36.560 they were still directed by the state. You know, in 1764 01:50:36.600 --> 01:50:39.319 the Soviet system, you know, you did not have the 1765 01:50:39.319 --> 01:50:41.960 fiction of private property, there was state property, and state 1766 01:50:41.960 --> 01:50:44.600 property was owned by the party and the people who 1767 01:50:44.600 --> 01:50:46.840 controlled the party. That was really the only difference between 1768 01:50:46.880 --> 01:50:48.039 the two systems. 1769 01:50:48.640 --> 01:50:51.960 Absolutely right. And it's it's interesting, you know, I wrote 1770 01:50:52.000 --> 01:50:58.840 about Antifa and how Antifa was supposedly anti fascist, but 1771 01:50:59.640 --> 01:51:03.239 they really were not anti collectivists at all, and people 1772 01:51:03.600 --> 01:51:06.960 just didn't want folks to know. Evidently that anti vau 1773 01:51:07.000 --> 01:51:11.199 has started during Stalin's Soviet Union to try to infiltrate 1774 01:51:11.239 --> 01:51:13.520 the National Socialists, to bring them over to the world 1775 01:51:13.560 --> 01:51:17.520 socialist side. And it's all a battle between individual freedom 1776 01:51:17.920 --> 01:51:22.680 and voluntary choice and expressing our values peacefully, hopefully in 1777 01:51:22.800 --> 01:51:25.880 smaller communities where we have to show respect for each 1778 01:51:25.920 --> 01:51:31.199 other versus the giant hegemony of the state. That's it. 1779 01:51:31.560 --> 01:51:35.000 That's all there is. You know, it's so simple. Christ 1780 01:51:35.079 --> 01:51:39.039 experienced it. We're experiencing it. And we have these people 1781 01:51:39.119 --> 01:51:43.079 who either are fraudulent or they have little facets of 1782 01:51:43.119 --> 01:51:48.199 these things where either they're deluding themselves or they're somehow 1783 01:51:48.199 --> 01:51:50.560 going along to get along. And even many of the 1784 01:51:50.600 --> 01:51:53.920 supporters of these people do the same thing. They'll shave 1785 01:51:54.000 --> 01:51:57.239 off the areas where they don't. It's cognitive dissonance. I 1786 01:51:57.279 --> 01:51:59.000 don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it, 1787 01:51:59.560 --> 01:52:01.720 and they go along, this is going to be my guy. 1788 01:52:01.840 --> 01:52:04.800 He's the savior. He's fighting the other power block. But 1789 01:52:04.920 --> 01:52:07.600 your power block as well should be questioned, and they 1790 01:52:07.640 --> 01:52:09.399 don't do it. It's very frustrated. 1791 01:52:09.439 --> 01:52:11.319 We all suffer from imperfect knowledge, you know. We go 1792 01:52:11.359 --> 01:52:13.479 through life trying to figure things out, and a lot 1793 01:52:13.520 --> 01:52:16.000 of people are at a tremendous disadvantage because they've grown 1794 01:52:16.079 --> 01:52:19.760 up in a culture and within a government school system 1795 01:52:20.159 --> 01:52:23.720 that actively tries to cripple their cognitive capacity to prevent 1796 01:52:23.760 --> 01:52:26.960 them from learning how to reason in the way that 1797 01:52:27.000 --> 01:52:31.199 people back in the eighteenth century understood reason. And that's why, 1798 01:52:31.239 --> 01:52:34.439 for example, you have the simplistic conception of what fascism is. 1799 01:52:35.359 --> 01:52:37.479 You use that word in generally speaking the product of 1800 01:52:37.479 --> 01:52:41.600 the public school, immediately think of storm trooping, jack booting, 1801 01:52:42.279 --> 01:52:45.119 you know, whereas that's not the essence of fascism at all. 1802 01:52:45.640 --> 01:52:48.199 You know, fascism is, and you can go to the 1803 01:52:48.199 --> 01:52:51.359 Capitol and see it in the embodiment of the fascis, 1804 01:52:51.399 --> 01:52:54.119 which were the bundle carried by the Roman lictors. You know, 1805 01:52:54.159 --> 01:52:58.399 that symbolize the merger of state and corporate power together. 1806 01:52:58.479 --> 01:52:59.760 And if you want to know more about that, those 1807 01:52:59.800 --> 01:53:02.800 who listening read Mussolini, who was at least sort of 1808 01:53:02.840 --> 01:53:05.760 an intellectual and actually fleshed out some of this stuff 1809 01:53:06.000 --> 01:53:06.319 you know. 1810 01:53:06.279 --> 01:53:09.760 Here with that absolutely you know, and it's funny. I 1811 01:53:09.800 --> 01:53:13.159 didn't even bring up the fascis, but you're just this 1812 01:53:13.239 --> 01:53:15.159 is I want to if I can. This is my 1813 01:53:15.600 --> 01:53:19.199 the backside of MRCTV because I got to show you this. 1814 01:53:19.199 --> 01:53:21.399 It's uncanny that you're talking about this. So this is 1815 01:53:21.439 --> 01:53:23.720 that new piece that I had released on the twenty 1816 01:53:23.760 --> 01:53:28.039 six yesterday for MRCTV. More federal fascism, fed's paid Texas 1817 01:53:28.039 --> 01:53:31.600 coal power plan, and you're nailing. I said early each 1818 01:53:31.640 --> 01:53:34.600 semester in political economics class, I try to show students 1819 01:53:34.640 --> 01:53:38.039 all the forms of pernicious statism i e. Force collectivism, 1820 01:53:38.199 --> 01:53:41.000 and one of the most important is fascism. I focus 1821 01:53:41.079 --> 01:53:45.119 on fascism because pop media and leftist anti capitalists used 1822 01:53:45.159 --> 01:53:48.800 the term to apply to any unwoke set of ideals. 1823 01:53:48.800 --> 01:53:50.680 It's like, it's like you could have sat next to 1824 01:53:50.680 --> 01:53:52.800 me while I was writing this and dictated it to me. 1825 01:53:53.079 --> 01:53:53.760 It was amazing. 1826 01:53:54.239 --> 01:53:54.399 Set. 1827 01:53:55.159 --> 01:53:55.600 Yeah, what's that? 1828 01:53:56.039 --> 01:53:59.279 It's excellent psychological propaganda in the sense that it negates 1829 01:53:59.319 --> 01:54:03.039 any thoughtful looking into what the substance of fascism really is. 1830 01:54:03.439 --> 01:54:07.159 You shut it down by conjuring this image of goose 1831 01:54:07.199 --> 01:54:09.520 stepping Nazis, you know, and that ends the discussion. 1832 01:54:10.000 --> 01:54:13.680 Yes, yes, and you add the accouterments, all the decorative 1833 01:54:14.439 --> 01:54:18.039 framing of it's for the nation, it's for our good, 1834 01:54:18.119 --> 01:54:20.079 it's for the culture, it's for this, it's for that, 1835 01:54:20.319 --> 01:54:22.920 and if you can mix in, we've got to protect 1836 01:54:22.960 --> 01:54:26.159 the culture from this or that. After the government central 1837 01:54:26.199 --> 01:54:29.279 planners have already screwed something up. You've got a perfect 1838 01:54:29.359 --> 01:54:31.880 mix the government. You got the perfect dialectic. You got 1839 01:54:31.920 --> 01:54:33.920 one side of the government that can screw something up. 1840 01:54:34.119 --> 01:54:36.439 Then the other side can say, hey, if you rely 1841 01:54:36.680 --> 01:54:39.399 on the government to fix what the government did, everything 1842 01:54:39.439 --> 01:54:42.000 will be fine. Culture will be perfect again, and you 1843 01:54:42.119 --> 01:54:44.800 get to more fascism. We've got to protect this business. 1844 01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:46.600 We've got to stop this business. We've got to stop 1845 01:54:46.640 --> 01:54:49.880 TikTok because that there's that word China, so we've got 1846 01:54:49.960 --> 01:54:51.239 to stop. I mean, it's crazy. 1847 01:54:51.479 --> 01:54:53.199 Well, that's kind of the order industries in the state 1848 01:54:53.279 --> 01:54:55.600 that it's in, particularly since two thousand and a two 1849 01:54:55.640 --> 01:54:59.960 thousand and nine when GM and four basically went bankrupt 1850 01:55:00.199 --> 01:55:02.199 at that time, and we're considered to be too big 1851 01:55:02.279 --> 01:55:05.079 to fail along with these big financial entities in New York, 1852 01:55:05.640 --> 01:55:08.439 and instead of letting the market sort it out and 1853 01:55:08.600 --> 01:55:11.520 perhaps salvage the elements of these these companies that were 1854 01:55:11.720 --> 01:55:15.239 reviable and had some value, the government came in and decided, no, no, no, 1855 01:55:15.600 --> 01:55:19.119 we can't allow that to happen. We're going to inject 1856 01:55:19.520 --> 01:55:22.960 as many taxpayer dollars as it takes to kind of 1857 01:55:23.159 --> 01:55:26.319 revive the corpse somehow, like Frankenstein on the table and 1858 01:55:26.840 --> 01:55:28.600 keep it going. And of course at that time, then 1859 01:55:28.640 --> 01:55:31.880 what happens is that these companies become beholden to the government. 1860 01:55:31.920 --> 01:55:34.479 They become in effect part of the government. Yes, so 1861 01:55:34.600 --> 01:55:36.680 that's why you have seen you know, general in my 1862 01:55:36.760 --> 01:55:38.600 own field, in General Motors and four. And this is 1863 01:55:38.680 --> 01:55:41.159 the true of the industry generally, but really specifically with 1864 01:55:41.279 --> 01:55:41.920 regard to them. 1865 01:55:42.760 --> 01:55:43.399 Not only not. 1866 01:55:43.560 --> 01:55:48.119 Oppose the regulatory apparat much since two thousand and eight, 1867 01:55:48.159 --> 01:55:50.159 two thousand and nine and all these edicts that keep 1868 01:55:50.239 --> 01:55:53.359 coming out of the deep Dot NITZA and the EPA, 1869 01:55:53.720 --> 01:55:57.319 but actually anticipating and working hand in glove with the 1870 01:55:57.359 --> 01:55:59.800 government to come up with more and to charge us 1871 01:55:59.840 --> 01:56:00.640 more for them. 1872 01:56:01.239 --> 01:56:03.159 Well, it's just like you said about Musk. You know, 1873 01:56:03.279 --> 01:56:05.880 now that he's had his company conform and their set, 1874 01:56:06.000 --> 01:56:08.000 he doesn't want the other ones to come in. So 1875 01:56:08.119 --> 01:56:10.640 if they can put barriers up, barriers to entry up, 1876 01:56:11.000 --> 01:56:13.960 obviously it's all rent seeking and it's you know, it 1877 01:56:14.079 --> 01:56:17.479 comes again with those accouterments of well, we've got to 1878 01:56:17.520 --> 01:56:21.880 protect this company GM. Perfect example. It's just an example, 1879 01:56:22.000 --> 01:56:26.279 the two thousand and eight you know, seventeen billion dollars 1880 01:56:26.439 --> 01:56:29.640 given to GM and they got a three year lift 1881 01:56:29.760 --> 01:56:33.399 from their corporate taxes that they had to pay, while Ford, 1882 01:56:33.520 --> 01:56:37.119 which didn't take a bailout, had to pay its corporate taxes. 1883 01:56:37.199 --> 01:56:40.800 And remember Eric, for that period, GM finally started to 1884 01:56:40.840 --> 01:56:43.680 show a profit and it was the exact amount that 1885 01:56:43.840 --> 01:56:46.600 they would have had to have paid for their corporate taxes. 1886 01:56:46.720 --> 01:56:51.319 Remember that that was amazing. It was like, oh, it's incredible. 1887 01:56:51.479 --> 01:56:55.359 And it all comes because of the example of protectionism. Well, 1888 01:56:55.880 --> 01:56:58.840 and Frederick Bossi, he writes about this so much. If 1889 01:56:58.960 --> 01:57:04.640 the politicians can institutionally make get people to think that 1890 01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:06.960 there has to be something that has to be kept 1891 01:57:07.079 --> 01:57:13.039 going for American American tradition, American strategic needs or the 1892 01:57:13.159 --> 01:57:15.840 national defense, or whatever it might be. Then they will 1893 01:57:15.880 --> 01:57:19.279 pick and choose any industry that gives them the feedback 1894 01:57:19.359 --> 01:57:22.000 to keep them in power and claim that they're part 1895 01:57:22.119 --> 01:57:25.880 of what is so important and necessary for our future. 1896 01:57:25.960 --> 01:57:29.760 It's the buggy whip manufacturers all over again. It's when 1897 01:57:29.840 --> 01:57:32.960 the car gets introduced. We can't allow the buggy whip 1898 01:57:33.039 --> 01:57:35.760 makers to go out of business. There's no demand for 1899 01:57:35.840 --> 01:57:39.920 them anymore. It's decreased dramatically like GM. Maybe they've mismanaged 1900 01:57:39.960 --> 01:57:44.279 their businesses because they've given such massive retirement benefits to 1901 01:57:44.439 --> 01:57:48.880 their unionized employees, which themselves have been given benefits because 1902 01:57:49.159 --> 01:57:54.520 of the destructive attacks of politicians and in the favoritism 1903 01:57:54.560 --> 01:57:58.159 that they've given to unions. So the companies themselves can't 1904 01:57:58.159 --> 01:58:01.560 compete against foreign companies, or they moved their manufacturing over 1905 01:58:01.680 --> 01:58:04.439 to Korea or something like that to do it with 1906 01:58:04.720 --> 01:58:08.119 less expense and less overhead, whether it's because of energy 1907 01:58:08.560 --> 01:58:11.000 or the terrorists, and then they applied terrorifts on us, 1908 01:58:11.479 --> 01:58:14.920 and we're screwed over even more. It's amazing to see 1909 01:58:15.039 --> 01:58:18.840 how they can use these arguments to say we're doing 1910 01:58:18.920 --> 01:58:22.880 it for your good, we're protecting GM and those jobs. Well, 1911 01:58:23.359 --> 01:58:27.239 then why have any progress in business in any way whatsoever? Now? 1912 01:58:27.319 --> 01:58:30.199 With the GM thing to sort of finish off. Of course, 1913 01:58:30.520 --> 01:58:33.840 that got inflamed because of the bubble of all of 1914 01:58:33.920 --> 01:58:36.399 the money that was poured out with the near zero 1915 01:58:36.520 --> 01:58:39.359 percent interest rates, and of course the amount of money 1916 01:58:39.399 --> 01:58:42.079 that went into the housing system. The banks started to collapse, 1917 01:58:42.239 --> 01:58:45.439 and then they pumped even more money in with the 1918 01:58:45.760 --> 01:58:49.159 American Recovery Act, and they claimed as jud Greg did 1919 01:58:49.199 --> 01:58:51.880 the suppose a conservative on Fox News the night they 1920 01:58:51.920 --> 01:58:53.800 had the initial vote for it and it failed, and 1921 01:58:53.840 --> 01:58:55.560 then they went back the next couple days and they 1922 01:58:55.600 --> 01:58:57.840 did another vote in that follow two thousand and eight, 1923 01:58:57.960 --> 01:59:00.880 he said, this is about people's retirements, talking about because 1924 01:59:00.920 --> 01:59:02.560 they had to bail out the banks. I'm like, dude, 1925 01:59:02.600 --> 01:59:07.119 do you understand that creating seventeen trillion dollars or I 1926 01:59:07.199 --> 01:59:13.359 mean two trillion dollars is somehow maybe going to destroy 1927 01:59:13.840 --> 01:59:18.079 people's buying power. Maybe their retirements aren't gonna buy as 1928 01:59:18.159 --> 01:59:21.840 much anymore. Why don't you stop let this bubble collapse? 1929 01:59:22.439 --> 01:59:24.359 And they don't do it. They don't do it because 1930 01:59:24.399 --> 01:59:26.640 they have all these things they've got to keep going. 1931 01:59:26.960 --> 01:59:30.840 And finally, what is not seen or all the opportunities 1932 01:59:30.840 --> 01:59:33.960 when they're supporting GM, keeping them going when they're not 1933 01:59:34.279 --> 01:59:36.600 something that should be going, or they're sending money out 1934 01:59:36.640 --> 01:59:39.439 to these green industries, or again and show I'll show 1935 01:59:39.479 --> 01:59:44.000 this as an example. They're sending one billion dollars to 1936 01:59:44.159 --> 01:59:48.000 this Texas company, the Texas Tribune reports is a billion 1937 01:59:48.119 --> 01:59:53.039 dollars to an electric cooperative called the San Miguel Electric Cooperative. 1938 01:59:53.840 --> 01:59:58.279 They were using coal that's reliable, you can burn coal 1939 01:59:58.359 --> 02:00:03.079 in the winter, doesn't get destroyed by hail. And instead 1940 02:00:03.520 --> 02:00:06.079 they're going to take the subsidy, they're taking the payoff 1941 02:00:06.600 --> 02:00:09.000 and it's all part of the Biden thing and they're 1942 02:00:09.039 --> 02:00:11.720 saying it's going to support jobs. But what is not 1943 02:00:11.880 --> 02:00:14.640 seen are the jobs that won't be created because that 1944 02:00:14.760 --> 02:00:16.079 money has been taken from people. 1945 02:00:16.279 --> 02:00:18.920 Yeah, and one of the more malevolent and ingenious aspects 1946 02:00:18.960 --> 02:00:21.199 of this, and it's broad brush here, is the way 1947 02:00:21.239 --> 02:00:23.359 they have set us against each other such that we 1948 02:00:23.439 --> 02:00:26.359 don't see who the common enemy is. So, you know, 1949 02:00:26.520 --> 02:00:29.479 as regards GM, as regards the finance institutions, you know, 1950 02:00:29.560 --> 02:00:33.439 people in that segment are terrified understandably of losing their 1951 02:00:33.560 --> 02:00:37.119 jobs and losing their pensions, so naturally they support the bailouts, 1952 02:00:37.399 --> 02:00:40.000 you know. And it's of a piece with Social Security. 1953 02:00:40.039 --> 02:00:42.880 It's it's of the same thing, same cloth. You know, 1954 02:00:42.960 --> 02:00:46.119 the people who have been leashed their entire working lives 1955 02:00:46.800 --> 02:00:49.239 to contribute to social security and who are now too 1956 02:00:49.359 --> 02:00:52.119 old to work and who depend on social security, of 1957 02:00:52.199 --> 02:00:54.399 course they're going to fight tooth and nail to to 1958 02:00:54.479 --> 02:00:57.760 keep Social Security around. So you know, we're battling and 1959 02:00:57.840 --> 02:01:00.800 bickering with each other without seeing that we're being systematically 1960 02:01:00.880 --> 02:01:06.079 and served and impoverished by this entity's that's called government, 1961 02:01:06.520 --> 02:01:09.760 you know, whereas sure, you know, life is sometimes unfair. Sometimes, 1962 02:01:10.079 --> 02:01:11.560 you know, things don't work out the way you want 1963 02:01:11.600 --> 02:01:14.119 them to work out. But in the long haul, you know, 1964 02:01:14.279 --> 02:01:16.920 if things are allowed to correct themselves, when bad decisions 1965 02:01:17.239 --> 02:01:20.199 have consequences, you know, we sorted out, we figure out 1966 02:01:20.199 --> 02:01:22.000 what we did wrong, and we do something different and 1967 02:01:22.119 --> 02:01:24.600 better the next time. In the long run, things are 1968 02:01:24.640 --> 02:01:27.159 better for everybody that way than rewarding failure. 1969 02:01:27.800 --> 02:01:28.000 Yeah. 1970 02:01:28.239 --> 02:01:32.000 Yeah, and you know it. Frederick Bastia distilled it very 1971 02:01:32.079 --> 02:01:35.840 well obviously, you know when he said government is that 1972 02:01:36.000 --> 02:01:38.760 great fiction by which everyone endeavors to live off of 1973 02:01:38.880 --> 02:01:42.880 everyone else, and in order to smooth that over, you 1974 02:01:43.000 --> 02:01:46.920 get the central bank connection or even government under Rome. 1975 02:01:47.199 --> 02:01:50.039 Even if they didn't farm out their banking to a 1976 02:01:50.159 --> 02:01:53.119 central bank, they were you know, calling back the coins 1977 02:01:53.159 --> 02:01:55.239 and shaving the coins of some of their silver and 1978 02:01:55.319 --> 02:01:58.199 creating new coins to inflate the monetary system and claiming 1979 02:01:58.239 --> 02:02:00.479 the old coins were still at the same way. So 1980 02:02:00.560 --> 02:02:02.840 it's a cipher to what, you know, what happens now 1981 02:02:02.840 --> 02:02:04.680 when they create the money out of thin air and 1982 02:02:04.760 --> 02:02:09.079 then buy the US bonds with it. But with Bostyad's 1983 02:02:09.119 --> 02:02:12.880 dictum about government being that great fiction where everybody tries 1984 02:02:13.000 --> 02:02:15.199 to live off of everyone else, the way they try 1985 02:02:15.239 --> 02:02:18.199 to smooth that over is to fund all of the 1986 02:02:18.279 --> 02:02:21.000 different things that they're trying to do to appeal to 1987 02:02:21.079 --> 02:02:24.159 people by doing the central bank. And then in the background, 1988 02:02:24.239 --> 02:02:26.880 what's actually happening the whole time is the monster of 1989 02:02:27.000 --> 02:02:32.119 inflation is eating away at everybody's livelihood except the people 1990 02:02:32.119 --> 02:02:34.359 who get the money right at the start that connected 1991 02:02:34.399 --> 02:02:37.199 people to the government. It's harming all of us. Even 1992 02:02:37.279 --> 02:02:39.439 as they hand out all this candy to people, they 1993 02:02:39.520 --> 02:02:43.000 don't people don't even realize that they're getting fewer and 1994 02:02:43.119 --> 02:02:46.199 fewer opportunities to eat the candy, and the candy is 1995 02:02:46.319 --> 02:02:47.880 worth less and less and less. 1996 02:02:48.039 --> 02:02:51.000 Sure it comes, it calls to mind two dictums, you know. 1997 02:02:51.079 --> 02:02:53.000 The first is that you can't cheat an honest man, 1998 02:02:53.439 --> 02:02:55.560 and the second is that there's no such thing as 1999 02:02:55.600 --> 02:02:57.640 a free lunch, you know. And I think that that's 2000 02:02:57.680 --> 02:02:59.880 a good lesson to teach kids, because it's a real 2001 02:03:00.199 --> 02:03:02.640 wise lesson and it's one that we as a culture 2002 02:03:02.720 --> 02:03:03.319 have forgotten. 2003 02:03:03.720 --> 02:03:03.840 You know. 2004 02:03:03.920 --> 02:03:05.600 People tend to believe that there is such a thing 2005 02:03:05.640 --> 02:03:09.640 as a free lunch, and they tend to believe that, yeah, boy, this, 2006 02:03:10.000 --> 02:03:11.720 you know, and they know in their minds, Okay, I'm 2007 02:03:11.720 --> 02:03:13.680 being told something by a politician that this is going 2008 02:03:13.720 --> 02:03:15.560 to benefit me somehow. But if they were honest and 2009 02:03:15.600 --> 02:03:18.600 thought about it, that sounds snaky and sleezy. There's got 2010 02:03:18.680 --> 02:03:20.479 to be something wrong with that. How is it that 2011 02:03:20.560 --> 02:03:22.880 I'm going to get something that benefits me that isn't 2012 02:03:22.880 --> 02:03:26.560 going to cost somebody else something which is dishonest. So, 2013 02:03:26.840 --> 02:03:29.239 you know, if you don't want to live honestly, and 2014 02:03:29.359 --> 02:03:32.520 you don't want to live by lying to yourself about 2015 02:03:32.560 --> 02:03:35.239 where the source of your your mana your benefits come 2016 02:03:35.279 --> 02:03:37.720 from you know, that's what you have to do. And 2017 02:03:37.760 --> 02:03:39.720 if we did that, we did that once as a culture. 2018 02:03:40.079 --> 02:03:42.920 Once upon a time it was shameful to be a 2019 02:03:43.000 --> 02:03:45.760 parasite and you know, to take money from other people 2020 02:03:45.840 --> 02:03:49.079 by force. Now it's kind of like a belligerent entitlement. 2021 02:03:49.720 --> 02:03:53.760 You know, you suggest to somebody that that perhaps government 2022 02:03:53.840 --> 02:03:56.960 cheese should be just that government cheese, not government sushi, 2023 02:03:57.239 --> 02:03:59.640 and they, you know, they get very upset. 2024 02:03:59.399 --> 02:04:03.800 When you say that that's absolutely right. It's it's a 2025 02:04:04.000 --> 02:04:06.399 very strange thing, you know. Obviously it makes me thinks 2026 02:04:06.439 --> 02:04:09.960 about Alexei Totakville, who discussed how you know, this is 2027 02:04:10.039 --> 02:04:12.680 a very good system, but it will only survive until 2028 02:04:12.760 --> 02:04:15.439 the point where people realize, as BOSSI has said, that 2029 02:04:15.479 --> 02:04:18.119 they can live off of other people by majority vote. 2030 02:04:18.159 --> 02:04:20.199 And and you know, I've brought up the point on 2031 02:04:20.279 --> 02:04:23.640 liberty conspiracy before as as you know, as much as 2032 02:04:23.680 --> 02:04:28.399 people admire the Constitution as being a bulwark against that 2033 02:04:28.720 --> 02:04:34.159 total control, really constitutional republics, you know, people will say, 2034 02:04:34.680 --> 02:04:38.720 you know, we are not a democracy again, throwing that inclusive. 2035 02:04:38.880 --> 02:04:40.600 You're in there as well, whether you want to be 2036 02:04:40.720 --> 02:04:42.880 part of it or not. We are not a democracy, 2037 02:04:42.960 --> 02:04:49.199 this anthipomorphizing of it, but also the the the idea 2038 02:04:49.279 --> 02:04:53.239 that constitutionalism as voted on by a bunch of other 2039 02:04:53.359 --> 02:04:59.319 people is anything other than just democracy A couple steps removed. Sure, right, 2040 02:04:59.760 --> 02:05:04.520 So so representative government is still in the end, a 2041 02:05:04.640 --> 02:05:08.560 group of people having a majority vote based on a 2042 02:05:08.720 --> 02:05:11.159 group of people who had a majority vote to set 2043 02:05:11.239 --> 02:05:14.119 up these people to do these majority votes. So it's 2044 02:05:14.199 --> 02:05:17.159 still you can't escape it. This is why The Prisoner 2045 02:05:17.239 --> 02:05:19.239 the TV series is so special to me. 2046 02:05:19.760 --> 02:05:19.960 Yeah. 2047 02:05:20.399 --> 02:05:24.319 Yeah, in a metaphysical and adventurous and intellectual ways. It 2048 02:05:24.479 --> 02:05:27.439 explores a lot of these questions and and you know, 2049 02:05:27.600 --> 02:05:29.720 I go back to Elon musk As you're talking about 2050 02:05:29.800 --> 02:05:32.159 just dealing honestly with people. Let me show let me 2051 02:05:32.239 --> 02:05:34.119 show that again. If people will go to Eric Peters, 2052 02:05:34.159 --> 02:05:36.279 otto's just round that off. And I want to talk 2053 02:05:36.319 --> 02:05:39.760 about a couple of the other pieces and get your thoughts. Eric. 2054 02:05:39.840 --> 02:05:42.920 I've saved a video segment of Donald Trump. If you 2055 02:05:43.000 --> 02:05:44.960 don't mind, Uh, we'll do it. 2056 02:05:45.600 --> 02:05:47.319 What's that absolutely, let's do it. 2057 02:05:47.600 --> 02:05:51.600 Okay, great? So, uh, the deconstructing Elon piece that you 2058 02:05:51.720 --> 02:05:54.000 put out, I know you've been you know, you've been 2059 02:05:54.079 --> 02:05:57.319 watching Elon for quite a while, and you mentioned you 2060 02:05:57.439 --> 02:06:06.840 mentioned here that where's it. I love this part. You say, yeah, 2061 02:06:07.279 --> 02:06:10.119 Musk bought X and promised it would henceforth be a 2062 02:06:10.159 --> 02:06:12.520 free speech venue. It is nothing of the kind. It 2063 02:06:12.640 --> 02:06:15.279 is a for profit operation that requires those who wish 2064 02:06:15.439 --> 02:06:17.920 their speech I either post to be seen, to pay 2065 02:06:17.960 --> 02:06:20.880 in order for them to be seen monthly ongoing. It 2066 02:06:21.000 --> 02:06:23.960 is only eight dollars, say some apologists, but that is 2067 02:06:24.079 --> 02:06:26.680 beside the point, the point being that having to pay 2068 02:06:26.800 --> 02:06:29.560 for speech means it's not free. And if you do 2069 02:06:29.800 --> 02:06:32.560 pay for your speech to be seen, it still isn't 2070 02:06:32.640 --> 02:06:35.640 free because if you say certain forbotten things, as you 2071 02:06:35.720 --> 02:06:39.319 said about certain verbotten topics, then your speech will be suppressed, 2072 02:06:39.359 --> 02:06:42.880 if not entirely erased. Post something so called anti semitic, 2073 02:06:43.039 --> 02:06:46.239 that is, something critical but factual regarding the policies or 2074 02:06:46.279 --> 02:06:48.920 actions of the government of Israel, no matter how heen 2075 02:06:49.039 --> 02:06:52.720 is the policies or actions at issue, and see for yourself, 2076 02:06:53.199 --> 02:06:56.159 or post something critical of Musk himself. Now, I want 2077 02:06:56.199 --> 02:06:59.640 to go back to your point about Brazil because I 2078 02:06:59.840 --> 02:07:05.680 have I have some friends who in Washington have been 2079 02:07:05.760 --> 02:07:11.920 working with people from X and they've been talking to me, 2080 02:07:11.960 --> 02:07:14.279 and I'm getting a sense they're sort of, you know, 2081 02:07:14.439 --> 02:07:17.079 behind the scenes sort of folks. So occasionally they'll say 2082 02:07:17.119 --> 02:07:20.079 something and I'll say, wait a minute. I get a 2083 02:07:20.199 --> 02:07:25.159 sense that they think that Musk's long game is that 2084 02:07:25.359 --> 02:07:28.560 he wants to introduce the X phone, have the payment 2085 02:07:28.640 --> 02:07:33.840 system on the X phone, and they think for beneficial reasons, 2086 02:07:34.800 --> 02:07:37.319 and it could you know, you think about this. You 2087 02:07:37.479 --> 02:07:41.600 could at first blush agree with them. One could, I say, 2088 02:07:42.239 --> 02:07:44.920 to be fair, not you, but one could at first 2089 02:07:44.960 --> 02:07:47.760 blush agree and say okay, I see where you're coming 2090 02:07:47.800 --> 02:07:50.239 from here. They'll say, yeah, see what he wants to 2091 02:07:50.279 --> 02:07:51.760 do is he wants to get the x phone in 2092 02:07:51.840 --> 02:07:55.239 everybody's hand. In fact, I've heard they'll tell me that 2093 02:07:55.479 --> 02:07:58.840 Musk doesn't even care if people copy the technology as 2094 02:07:58.960 --> 02:08:03.840 long as the user interface gets into their hands, because 2095 02:08:03.880 --> 02:08:07.279 it'll go up to starlink and he will be able 2096 02:08:07.720 --> 02:08:13.039 to circumvent any on the ground government from blocking the 2097 02:08:13.199 --> 02:08:17.960 transmission and then they'll be free speech for everybody. And 2098 02:08:18.079 --> 02:08:22.159 I said, well, let me get this straight. So you 2099 02:08:22.319 --> 02:08:28.520 don't think that government moves like that in Brazil have 2100 02:08:28.680 --> 02:08:31.560 already shown us what will happen in the future. If 2101 02:08:32.079 --> 02:08:34.960 even if he gets that technology. Even if they can't 2102 02:08:35.119 --> 02:08:38.159 block it per se, you know, years down the line, 2103 02:08:38.199 --> 02:08:40.319 they might try to block it somehow with signal jamming 2104 02:08:40.439 --> 02:08:42.880 or whatever. But even if they can't block it, you 2105 02:08:42.960 --> 02:08:46.359 don't think they'll block it through legal means, Like I 2106 02:08:46.399 --> 02:08:49.119 don't know, let me know your thoughts, because I can 2107 02:08:49.199 --> 02:08:50.159 see that you know. 2108 02:08:50.439 --> 02:08:52.960 I'll start by saying that I'm a big fan of decentralization, 2109 02:08:53.039 --> 02:08:55.479 and then let me preface that remark by bringing up 2110 02:08:55.520 --> 02:08:57.399 something that I know you'll be familiar with because you're 2111 02:08:57.399 --> 02:09:00.880 a sci fi guy like me, and you probably read 2112 02:09:00.920 --> 02:09:04.640 Philip Dick's Do Android's Dream of Electric sheeld right. It's 2113 02:09:04.680 --> 02:09:06.760 just a basis for the Blade Runner novel I believe, 2114 02:09:06.800 --> 02:09:09.039 run a movie, excuse me, And they don't really get 2115 02:09:09.039 --> 02:09:10.880 into this so much in the movie, but they do 2116 02:09:11.000 --> 02:09:13.319 in the book. In the future, in this dystopian future 2117 02:09:13.359 --> 02:09:15.800 that Dick laid out back in the sixties, this one 2118 02:09:15.920 --> 02:09:21.119 gigantic corporation material corporation controlled everything. I mean, it had 2119 02:09:21.319 --> 02:09:24.600 absolute control over everything. And that's the tendency that we're 2120 02:09:24.600 --> 02:09:27.680 seeing the centralization of everything. So Musk is a part 2121 02:09:27.760 --> 02:09:29.880 of that, and Amazon is a part of that, and 2122 02:09:29.960 --> 02:09:31.279 what's going to happen. We're going to get to the 2123 02:09:31.319 --> 02:09:36.760 point where Musk controls all information propagation and you buy 2124 02:09:36.800 --> 02:09:38.920 everything from Amazon, and how is that going to How 2125 02:09:39.039 --> 02:09:41.079 is that going to give us an alternative if these 2126 02:09:41.319 --> 02:09:44.840 if these entities turn out to be evil. As Google 2127 02:09:44.960 --> 02:09:46.720 used to like to say, well, what are we going 2128 02:09:46.800 --> 02:09:48.680 to do? Because by that time, the gate's been locked 2129 02:09:48.680 --> 02:09:50.560 and we're in the pen and there's almost nothing that 2130 02:09:50.640 --> 02:09:53.000 we'll be able to do about it. I think people 2131 02:09:53.039 --> 02:09:57.840 who believe in freedom and liberty should be focusing on decentralization, locality, 2132 02:09:58.279 --> 02:10:00.760 you know, figuring out ways to disconnect from all of 2133 02:10:00.840 --> 02:10:04.760 this centralization. Centralization goes hand in hand in hand with 2134 02:10:04.840 --> 02:10:10.159 authoritarianism and collectivism, you know it another way, you cannot 2135 02:10:10.199 --> 02:10:15.000 have authoritarianism and collectivism within a decentralized context. And that's 2136 02:10:15.000 --> 02:10:18.760 what the originally the Thirteen Colonies tried to establish that 2137 02:10:18.920 --> 02:10:21.960 by having a decentralized form of government, in which the 2138 02:10:22.399 --> 02:10:26.239 thirteen Colonies became independent sovereign states. And it's why that 2139 02:10:26.319 --> 02:10:29.359 they were referred to as plural in the original wordings, 2140 02:10:30.119 --> 02:10:34.039 not the United States singular, you know, really became administrative. 2141 02:10:34.079 --> 02:10:37.279 Dick's districts of the federal government, which is what they 2142 02:10:37.319 --> 02:10:39.920 became after the Civil War. The idea was that if 2143 02:10:39.920 --> 02:10:42.720 you lived in one state, say Virginia, and you didn't 2144 02:10:42.840 --> 02:10:45.239 like what the government in Virginia was doing, well, you 2145 02:10:45.319 --> 02:10:47.399 had the option to go to North Carolina, let's say, 2146 02:10:47.840 --> 02:10:50.079 or another state where things were different and more to 2147 02:10:50.159 --> 02:10:52.760 your liking. And that kept things in balance and in 2148 02:10:52.880 --> 02:10:55.720 check because there were so many options and alternatives, and 2149 02:10:55.800 --> 02:10:58.159 it's always a good thing to have alternatives and options, 2150 02:10:58.199 --> 02:11:00.760 whether in politics or economics. If you haven't got them, 2151 02:11:01.079 --> 02:11:03.960 well then you've got no choice, right absolutely. 2152 02:11:04.119 --> 02:11:06.880 And you know it's I think if you look at 2153 02:11:07.000 --> 02:11:08.600 the work of F. A. Hyek, you know, when he 2154 02:11:08.680 --> 02:11:11.239 got the Nobel Prize for the Spheres of Control and 2155 02:11:11.600 --> 02:11:15.359 the Information Problem and so on. I was sort of 2156 02:11:15.359 --> 02:11:18.000 brought up by a guy who had already read a 2157 02:11:18.079 --> 02:11:20.479 lot of highak stuff. So I sort of just you know, 2158 02:11:20.640 --> 02:11:23.000 whether my dad taught me that or I just sort 2159 02:11:23.039 --> 02:11:25.640 of realized, like, the larger the area of control, the 2160 02:11:25.880 --> 02:11:28.359 more people are hurt by the bad ideas, the less 2161 02:11:28.560 --> 02:11:31.319 you know, the less you have knowledge of the local issues, 2162 02:11:31.720 --> 02:11:34.800 and the less resolution you can get or satisfaction expression 2163 02:11:34.880 --> 02:11:37.319 you can get. Because you've got to try to satisfy 2164 02:11:37.399 --> 02:11:40.039 so many different groups, right, so many different people. And 2165 02:11:40.159 --> 02:11:41.880 that's that's one of the reasons why I really like 2166 02:11:41.960 --> 02:11:45.119 that Irish Brehon laws system, the old clan system. Yeah, 2167 02:11:45.119 --> 02:11:48.319 I like that a lot. And it's it's also interesting 2168 02:11:48.439 --> 02:11:54.079 because I think that when you see this, they use again, 2169 02:11:54.279 --> 02:11:57.840 these these themes and flag waving and so on to 2170 02:11:57.960 --> 02:12:01.720 sort of get everybody in a large land mass to 2171 02:12:01.920 --> 02:12:04.520 connect to one or two things that they think are 2172 02:12:04.600 --> 02:12:09.399 so great, even if they're fictions. You know, American traditionalism, Well, 2173 02:12:09.439 --> 02:12:13.199 what does that mean in Hawaii versus main You know, 2174 02:12:13.319 --> 02:12:16.640 they're so different, they're they're quite different. And to be 2175 02:12:16.720 --> 02:12:21.399 able to retain that authentic vibe is great. I love, 2176 02:12:22.319 --> 02:12:26.119 you know, people having some different traditions and things like that. 2177 02:12:26.439 --> 02:12:29.640 And again, you know, if we look at things like 2178 02:12:29.720 --> 02:12:34.199 the US government getting involved in natural disaster AID and 2179 02:12:34.319 --> 02:12:37.039 things like that, Well, isn't it a bit of an 2180 02:12:37.079 --> 02:12:40.960 affront to somebody who lives in Alaska to say, hey, 2181 02:12:41.239 --> 02:12:43.760 you're not on Cape Cod, but you know there was 2182 02:12:43.800 --> 02:12:46.680 a storm on Cape Cod. Really, how bad was it? Well, 2183 02:12:46.760 --> 02:12:48.520 we're going to tell you how bad it was. We'll 2184 02:12:48.600 --> 02:12:50.319 define how bad it is we're going to call it 2185 02:12:50.399 --> 02:12:53.760 an emergency. Yeah, but you know I was thinking like 2186 02:12:54.359 --> 02:12:58.439 maybe of putting an extension on my driveway because I 2187 02:12:58.560 --> 02:13:00.680 got to rebuild that. No, no, we're going to take 2188 02:13:00.680 --> 02:13:04.640 your money for Cape Cod. It's just it just is ridiculous. 2189 02:13:04.760 --> 02:13:07.319 You can't manage any of it. And always you got 2190 02:13:07.399 --> 02:13:09.560 to rely on the central planners. You've got to rely 2191 02:13:09.720 --> 02:13:12.279 on the controllers. And he isn't where I'm glad you 2192 02:13:12.359 --> 02:13:14.760 brought that up, because apparently, you know, one Zelensky is 2193 02:13:14.840 --> 02:13:18.039 worth how many millions of Americans. I mean, it's really 2194 02:13:18.399 --> 02:13:20.000 really affrontress. 2195 02:13:19.399 --> 02:13:19.680 Isn't it. 2196 02:13:21.079 --> 02:13:26.000 Just as Sebastian Gorka. What a just insufferable set of 2197 02:13:26.079 --> 02:13:28.079 things that guy has to say almost every time he 2198 02:13:28.119 --> 02:13:28.800 opens his mouth. 2199 02:13:28.880 --> 02:13:31.319 He's poor people who are still suffering right now in 2200 02:13:31.399 --> 02:13:33.560 western North Carolina, which isn't far from me at all. 2201 02:13:33.720 --> 02:13:36.359 You know about I don't know three hours down the 2202 02:13:36.439 --> 02:13:39.079 road from where I live. You know, people are getting 2203 02:13:39.119 --> 02:13:41.800 seven seven hundred and fifty dollars checks. I think it 2204 02:13:41.920 --> 02:13:44.600 is from female which by the way, they have to 2205 02:13:44.640 --> 02:13:48.640 pay back. It's it's alone, it's not it's not an 2206 02:13:49.000 --> 02:13:52.279 aid as such. And meanwhile, this Zelenski Cretan who by 2207 02:13:52.319 --> 02:13:54.399 the way, it gets my backup that they call this 2208 02:13:54.479 --> 02:13:58.720 guy president. Oh, I know, he's a dictator. He suspended elections. Yeah, 2209 02:13:59.000 --> 02:14:01.800 he's no different. He he's like the Eastern European Dame. 2210 02:14:02.279 --> 02:14:03.760 I mean if you were, if you were run on 2211 02:14:03.840 --> 02:14:06.760 the shelf. He's way past his date. He's supposed to 2212 02:14:06.760 --> 02:14:09.640 be out of office a long time ago, right, they. 2213 02:14:09.600 --> 02:14:12.119 Tell us, you know it's necessary, you know, because putin bad. 2214 02:14:12.199 --> 02:14:15.319 We have to support Ukraine because Ukraine is a democratic. 2215 02:14:15.000 --> 02:14:18.760 No, it isn't right, I know. And he comes, he's 2216 02:14:19.000 --> 02:14:22.840 he's the he's the offspring of the coup from late 2217 02:14:22.920 --> 02:14:26.960 twenty thirteen and in twenty fourteen of an illegitimate United 2218 02:14:26.960 --> 02:14:30.560 States implanted NATO implanted government that was part of the 2219 02:14:30.680 --> 02:14:35.119 expansion plans of NATO, part of the whole uh you know, 2220 02:14:35.399 --> 02:14:38.399 uh campaign for a New American century and and I 2221 02:14:38.439 --> 02:14:43.000 won't even talk about Operation Timber Sycamore in Syria. You know, 2222 02:14:43.199 --> 02:14:45.960 all these things, and people just go along with this stuff. 2223 02:14:46.119 --> 02:14:48.800 They say it just is It is amazing to me 2224 02:14:48.960 --> 02:14:51.159 because it's just right in front of your face. And 2225 02:14:51.359 --> 02:14:53.439 I know, I told you Eric before. You know, a 2226 02:14:53.520 --> 02:14:55.920 friend of mine who worked for the Obama administration came 2227 02:14:56.039 --> 02:14:58.119 up to me in December because I was reporting on 2228 02:14:58.319 --> 02:15:01.079 Ukraine and the overthrow. They're the min On coup that 2229 02:15:01.239 --> 02:15:03.159 was happening. He said, hey, where are you getting your 2230 02:15:03.239 --> 02:15:06.119 information about Ukraine? And I was like, I'm just looking 2231 02:15:06.199 --> 02:15:08.520 stuff up, and he goes, well, you're right, there's a 2232 02:15:08.600 --> 02:15:12.079 lot more. And obviously we've found out the much more, 2233 02:15:12.279 --> 02:15:15.520 maybe not even all of it, you know, going back. 2234 02:15:15.399 --> 02:15:19.079 To the centralization, you know, to juxtapose it against what's 2235 02:15:19.079 --> 02:15:22.479 happening now with centralization, bring it down to the neighborhood level. 2236 02:15:23.159 --> 02:15:25.760 You know, we hear oftentimes these status talk about how 2237 02:15:25.760 --> 02:15:29.359 it's our obligation to help other people, meaning the government's 2238 02:15:29.359 --> 02:15:31.199 going to come in and it's going to take your money, 2239 02:15:31.520 --> 02:15:33.880 and then it's going to disburst that money according to 2240 02:15:34.000 --> 02:15:36.960 its own whims, to people you don't even know, perhaps 2241 02:15:37.039 --> 02:15:40.479 in an entirely different country. How about something like local. 2242 02:15:40.760 --> 02:15:42.600 You know, if my neighbor down the road, who I know, 2243 02:15:43.560 --> 02:15:45.720 falls on hard times, a tree falls on his house, 2244 02:15:46.399 --> 02:15:47.920 and some of my other neighbors, maybe we go over 2245 02:15:47.920 --> 02:15:50.479 there with our chainsaws and we cut up the tree. 2246 02:15:50.520 --> 02:15:53.000 We help the guy, you know, and if he needs 2247 02:15:53.039 --> 02:15:54.359 a ride to get down. 2248 02:15:54.279 --> 02:15:57.279 To the viza. We do think we I think I've 2249 02:15:57.359 --> 02:15:59.399 frozen up, but I think, oh, I think we froze 2250 02:15:59.439 --> 02:16:00.640 up for a second. There we're back. 2251 02:16:01.479 --> 02:16:03.399 I'm good. But anyway, so you know, there's that human 2252 02:16:03.840 --> 02:16:08.159 aspect of that relationship that's there that's voluntarily, that's voluntary 2253 02:16:08.239 --> 02:16:10.720 and not exploitative in the sense that I know my 2254 02:16:10.800 --> 02:16:13.800 neighbor personally, you know, I know what the problem is 2255 02:16:14.319 --> 02:16:16.319 and if it should come to pass that that neighbor 2256 02:16:16.439 --> 02:16:19.920 tends tries to abuse the help or the generosity of 2257 02:16:19.960 --> 02:16:25.439 the neighbors. Because it's voluntarily voluntary, you can withdraw your help, right. 2258 02:16:25.800 --> 02:16:28.439 You don't have a situation that happens when you've got 2259 02:16:28.520 --> 02:16:32.600 this this centralized so called help, where this permanent apparat 2260 02:16:32.680 --> 02:16:35.520 this government entity simply comes in, takes out every much 2261 02:16:35.559 --> 02:16:38.319 money of yours that they want to take and then 2262 02:16:38.440 --> 02:16:41.559 decides how they're going to use it and exactly puts 2263 02:16:41.600 --> 02:16:44.440 you the bird along the way. Yeah, have no control 2264 02:16:44.479 --> 02:16:47.079 over that, and so there's no accountability, there's no ability 2265 02:16:47.159 --> 02:16:47.920 to prevent abuse. 2266 02:16:48.440 --> 02:16:52.239 And it's very interesting because we're already seeing the conflict 2267 02:16:52.399 --> 02:16:56.159 between the FEMA organizers, just like we saw with Katrina 2268 02:16:56.319 --> 02:16:59.440 in New Orleans and so on. And you know, in 2269 02:16:59.520 --> 02:17:02.239 that case, Mayor Nagan was a complete basket case. But 2270 02:17:02.440 --> 02:17:05.639 in this case, in places like North Carolina and others 2271 02:17:06.000 --> 02:17:11.719 where local people are organized, people have drones, they have helicopters, 2272 02:17:12.000 --> 02:17:14.840 and they're being prevented. They're literally being prevented. You know, 2273 02:17:14.959 --> 02:17:17.559 the same thing happened in New Orleans with Walmart and 2274 02:17:17.680 --> 02:17:19.680 ups tried to bring stuff in and they were they 2275 02:17:19.760 --> 02:17:23.040 had roadblocks put us by FEMA. They couldn't even get in, 2276 02:17:23.360 --> 02:17:26.239 they had to sit in parking lots. I mean, just absurd, 2277 02:17:26.319 --> 02:17:28.879 because it's all a terf war. And in the meantime, 2278 02:17:29.040 --> 02:17:30.399 it's very important. 2279 02:17:30.079 --> 02:17:33.360 That the pority of the government never be challenged. That's 2280 02:17:33.399 --> 02:17:36.799 the key thing to understand. They don't want people to realize, hey, 2281 02:17:36.959 --> 02:17:39.840 we can handle this ourselves. We have the confidence, we 2282 02:17:39.920 --> 02:17:42.600 have the capability to deal with the problem. What they 2283 02:17:42.719 --> 02:17:46.200 want is this is sort of passive, souphine, helpless people 2284 02:17:46.600 --> 02:17:49.440 who sit with their hands folded in their left Help me, 2285 02:17:49.600 --> 02:17:52.120 please save me. That's what they want. 2286 02:17:52.399 --> 02:17:54.879 And you know, you know it's interesting, Eric, And if 2287 02:17:54.959 --> 02:17:56.840 I can't, I'd like to play this piece for you 2288 02:17:57.120 --> 02:18:00.600 from Donald Trump, because that fits in with Donald Trump 2289 02:18:00.719 --> 02:18:03.000 recently announced that he's going to pull out funding from 2290 02:18:03.040 --> 02:18:06.079 the WHO. Right, that was his big thing over the 2291 02:18:06.120 --> 02:18:08.879 past thirty six hours or so, said, good, it's that 2292 02:18:09.040 --> 02:18:10.959 funny now he you know, as I mentioned on The 2293 02:18:10.959 --> 02:18:14.040 Liberty Conspiracy last night, that's an easy one for him, 2294 02:18:14.319 --> 02:18:16.639 essentially because he already did that a while back, and 2295 02:18:16.680 --> 02:18:19.159 then the Gates Foundation came in with, you know, billions 2296 02:18:19.200 --> 02:18:22.000 and billions and filled that slot until Biden came back, 2297 02:18:22.280 --> 02:18:25.559 and then he refunded the WHO. But what's what is 2298 02:18:25.680 --> 02:18:28.600 interesting is as I listened to the details of what 2299 02:18:28.719 --> 02:18:30.360 he said, and I didn't bring it up last night 2300 02:18:30.399 --> 02:18:34.719 when I was streaming on the show, Trump doesn't say 2301 02:18:34.920 --> 02:18:37.319 we're going to get out of that top down thing, 2302 02:18:37.559 --> 02:18:41.879 that worldwide thing, per se. And so i'd love to 2303 02:18:41.920 --> 02:18:43.840 play this for you. There are a couple segments here 2304 02:18:44.280 --> 02:18:45.920 that I'd love to play for you. This comes from 2305 02:18:45.959 --> 02:18:48.040 that real America's voice thing that I was playing a 2306 02:18:48.079 --> 02:18:50.680 little bit earlier to try to, you know, say like, hey, 2307 02:18:50.799 --> 02:18:53.559 maybe take a step back from the idle worship here. 2308 02:18:53.879 --> 02:18:55.600 But here is a little bit of what he had 2309 02:18:55.639 --> 02:18:57.239 to say, and I'd love to get your thoughts on this. 2310 02:18:57.719 --> 02:19:00.479 Twenty nine was a long list, but he's start with 2311 02:19:00.559 --> 02:19:02.600 a big list of important items like this one. 2312 02:19:02.840 --> 02:19:06.920 Listen, the United States will withdraw from the corrupt World 2313 02:19:07.000 --> 02:19:11.520 Health Organization, which, in light of his utter failure on COVID, 2314 02:19:11.559 --> 02:19:15.719 they had a tremendous disaster on COVID, deserves to be 2315 02:19:15.840 --> 02:19:17.680 completely abolished and replaced. 2316 02:19:17.799 --> 02:19:21.840 Okay, so my first point is, how can any self 2317 02:19:21.920 --> 02:19:26.719 respecting host hear Donald Trump say they screwed up on COVID. 2318 02:19:27.479 --> 02:19:33.399 He's in the frame. He is responsible. He himself is 2319 02:19:33.520 --> 02:19:37.280 responsible for doing that medical emergency in twenty twenty, for 2320 02:19:37.440 --> 02:19:42.200 bringing in Burcks and Fauci, for allowing these hospitals to 2321 02:19:42.319 --> 02:19:45.959 get subsidized contrary to the constitution, for the Cares Act, 2322 02:19:46.000 --> 02:19:48.719 the PPP Act, which just a few days ago they 2323 02:19:48.799 --> 02:19:51.799 mentioned even more celebrities. They got millions of dollars in 2324 02:19:51.879 --> 02:19:54.840 the PPP stuff. It doesn't matter what the outcome of 2325 02:19:54.920 --> 02:19:59.520 it is. The precept of it is wrong. It's unconstitutional, 2326 02:19:59.559 --> 02:20:02.520 and on the deeper baseline, it's immoral. I don't yet, 2327 02:20:02.559 --> 02:20:05.280 they're not questioning, and there's there's a little bit more, 2328 02:20:05.360 --> 02:20:06.840 but I want to allow you to come in with 2329 02:20:06.959 --> 02:20:07.840 what your thoughts are. 2330 02:20:07.879 --> 02:20:09.639 In this first part, Oh, I was going to say, 2331 02:20:09.680 --> 02:20:12.520 I don't necessarily fault him for the initial declaration of 2332 02:20:12.559 --> 02:20:14.799 the emergency. What I fault him for is that by 2333 02:20:14.879 --> 02:20:16.719 the summer of twenty twenty it was apparent there was 2334 02:20:16.799 --> 02:20:19.280 no need for an emergency anymore, and he did not 2335 02:20:19.440 --> 02:20:22.760 rescind the emergency, which extended into the Biden regime. And 2336 02:20:23.079 --> 02:20:25.440 not only that, he spent the remainder of that year 2337 02:20:25.920 --> 02:20:29.319 standing like a spray tan wooden Indian while Fauci became 2338 02:20:29.399 --> 02:20:33.000 the de facto president. Somehow, that's, you know, the fault 2339 02:20:33.040 --> 02:20:36.879 of the who, rather than you know, the colossus Orange man. 2340 02:20:37.639 --> 02:20:41.319 It's astounding to me, by the way, to idolatry. Did 2341 02:20:41.319 --> 02:20:42.799 you see they're going to build a statue to this 2342 02:20:42.920 --> 02:20:46.079 man outside of the place in Pennsylvania where the assassination 2343 02:20:46.239 --> 02:20:47.600 took assassination time? 2344 02:20:47.639 --> 02:20:48.920 Are you kidding me? Oh? 2345 02:20:49.399 --> 02:20:50.799 Wasn't there a time when you had to be dead 2346 02:20:50.840 --> 02:20:54.200 before they would put up a statue to you. The 2347 02:20:54.280 --> 02:20:57.559 only instance I can think of statues being erected while 2348 02:20:57.600 --> 02:20:59.920 people were living were in Fascist Italy in Germany. 2349 02:21:00.479 --> 02:21:04.360 Yeah, right, right, And it comes right back to Mussolini again. 2350 02:21:04.440 --> 02:21:07.200 We're talking. This is amazing, all right. So here's a 2351 02:21:07.239 --> 02:21:09.520 little bit more. Eric Peters is our guest, folks, and 2352 02:21:09.879 --> 02:21:12.000 I'll get ready to read some of your comments and 2353 02:21:12.399 --> 02:21:15.079 quotes coming up on Rockman and we can post them. 2354 02:21:15.120 --> 02:21:18.079 The Russian team can post them over on x Vladimir 2355 02:21:18.120 --> 02:21:20.879 Putin just climbed off his bear, so everything's good. Here's 2356 02:21:20.879 --> 02:21:21.479 a little bit more. 2357 02:21:22.280 --> 02:21:24.639 Then I will work to forge a new coalition of 2358 02:21:24.760 --> 02:21:28.399 nations that are strongly committed to protecting help while also 2359 02:21:28.520 --> 02:21:32.200 upholding sovereignty and freedom. I want to thank you very much, 2360 02:21:32.280 --> 02:21:34.680 but I also want to say this. I could have 2361 02:21:34.799 --> 02:21:37.799 renegotiated the deal. I could have gone into the World 2362 02:21:37.879 --> 02:21:41.040 Health Organization for twenty five million dollars. 2363 02:21:42.200 --> 02:21:45.920 Fighten didn't take that deal. He's paying almost five hundred 2364 02:21:46.040 --> 02:21:46.760 million dollars. 2365 02:21:46.840 --> 02:21:49.879 They were so anxious to get the United States back 2366 02:21:50.000 --> 02:21:53.360 after I terminated the agreement. They were so anxious to 2367 02:21:53.399 --> 02:21:56.319 get it back that they offered me a deal twenty 2368 02:21:56.399 --> 02:21:59.440 five to thirty million dollars, and I said, no, I'll 2369 02:21:59.479 --> 02:22:01.879 wait gotten it for less. But I didn't want less. 2370 02:22:02.000 --> 02:22:04.760 At that point, we're paying almost five hundred million. Could 2371 02:22:04.760 --> 02:22:08.239 have done it for twenty five to thirty. Biden took 2372 02:22:08.280 --> 02:22:11.959 the five hundred almost the five hundred million dollar deal. 2373 02:22:13.159 --> 02:22:15.200 He knew he could have gotten back in for less, 2374 02:22:15.559 --> 02:22:17.040 so why did he pay so much? 2375 02:22:17.559 --> 02:22:19.760 But that's just one of many things that are wrong 2376 02:22:19.840 --> 02:22:20.559 with our country. 2377 02:22:21.200 --> 02:22:25.399 Okay, so there you go. Eric, It's a real mix 2378 02:22:25.520 --> 02:22:28.319 bag there. But on balance, really what he's talking about 2379 02:22:28.440 --> 02:22:33.159 is he's not so upset about the WHO overall, if 2380 02:22:33.200 --> 02:22:38.319 it could again be managed well consequentialist, it's the expense 2381 02:22:38.440 --> 02:22:41.639 of it, We're going to have a different Yeah, and 2382 02:22:41.760 --> 02:22:44.840 he just he wants to replace the WHO. How about 2383 02:22:45.120 --> 02:22:48.360 not have it? Where do you get the idea that 2384 02:22:48.440 --> 02:22:50.879 the US government is supposed to have anything to do 2385 02:22:51.000 --> 02:22:54.239 with people's medical health? Stop it up. 2386 02:22:54.440 --> 02:22:57.479 It's become all encompassing. And that's fundamentally the problem. You know, 2387 02:22:57.559 --> 02:22:59.920 we've lost sight of the idea that if government had 2388 02:23:00.000 --> 02:23:02.799 as any legitimate role at all, at least as it 2389 02:23:02.879 --> 02:23:05.360 was understood in the eighteenth century when the Constitution was 2390 02:23:05.360 --> 02:23:08.399 written in the Articles of Confederation were around, it is 2391 02:23:08.559 --> 02:23:12.319 to provide a framework for the adjudication of civil laws 2392 02:23:12.719 --> 02:23:15.040 and to deal with people who commit crimes and crimes 2393 02:23:15.040 --> 02:23:17.920 for once upon a time defined as having caused harm 2394 02:23:18.040 --> 02:23:20.680 to persons or property, meaning that there was a victim 2395 02:23:20.760 --> 02:23:23.280 involved and other than that, the government was supposed to 2396 02:23:23.319 --> 02:23:26.920 not be involved, was supposed to be free to organize 2397 02:23:26.959 --> 02:23:29.959 their own lives and to interact with one another consensually 2398 02:23:30.120 --> 02:23:32.719 and voluntarily. And now we've got to the point where 2399 02:23:32.840 --> 02:23:37.319 the state, the federal government literally micromanages practically everything. I mean, 2400 02:23:37.360 --> 02:23:39.360 it's going to get to the point where there're going 2401 02:23:39.440 --> 02:23:41.600 to be federal regulations regarding what time you can get 2402 02:23:41.680 --> 02:23:43.360 up in the morning to brush your teeth, and how 2403 02:23:43.840 --> 02:23:45.799 you must brush your teeth, and perhaps there's going to 2404 02:23:45.840 --> 02:23:49.120 be a livestream camera in your bathroom to make sure 2405 02:23:49.159 --> 02:23:50.000 you do it correctly. 2406 02:23:50.399 --> 02:23:53.479 Well, you know, with the canard of public health, which 2407 02:23:53.520 --> 02:23:56.639 of course is a canard, it's a collectivist. It allows 2408 02:23:56.719 --> 02:23:59.680 for the sacrifice of an individual for whatever the government 2409 02:23:59.719 --> 02:24:03.520 defined is the best for the public health. The attack 2410 02:24:03.680 --> 02:24:06.120 on people's rights, and all these different types of things. 2411 02:24:06.719 --> 02:24:09.959 We see that even in England, they were going to 2412 02:24:10.079 --> 02:24:15.360 tell obese people, well, for voluntary surgeries, for elective surgeries 2413 02:24:15.440 --> 02:24:18.319 like knee things, things like that, or smokers, you have 2414 02:24:18.479 --> 02:24:20.600 to show us that you've quit smoking for x amount 2415 02:24:20.639 --> 02:24:22.399 of time, or you have to lose this amount of weight. 2416 02:24:22.680 --> 02:24:24.680 We're going to put other people ahead of you. This 2417 02:24:24.879 --> 02:24:26.840 is exactly what they were doing in Canada. When I 2418 02:24:26.920 --> 02:24:29.120 was in Canada, I was hanging out with the carpenters. 2419 02:24:29.159 --> 02:24:32.639 They would say the government of the British Columbian governments 2420 02:24:32.840 --> 02:24:36.120 literally said, because they were paying everybody's health care. They 2421 02:24:36.159 --> 02:24:38.000 didn't say this, but this is the way that it worked. 2422 02:24:38.200 --> 02:24:41.200 Because they had a government run public health care system. 2423 02:24:41.840 --> 02:24:45.639 They were paying people's bills. So people were overutilizing things 2424 02:24:45.719 --> 02:24:48.440 when they weren't husbanding their own resources, they were using 2425 02:24:48.520 --> 02:24:51.239 somebody else's and they were going to the doctors more 2426 02:24:51.360 --> 02:24:53.959 for stuff that they normally, if they were deciding for themselves, 2427 02:24:54.079 --> 02:24:55.719 might not have done it. They might have waited or 2428 02:24:55.760 --> 02:25:00.280 done something else, gone natural path, whatever. And then the 2429 02:25:00.440 --> 02:25:04.360 doctors themselves were making good money from all these people 2430 02:25:04.440 --> 02:25:09.000 were coming in, but the government was getting over They 2431 02:25:09.040 --> 02:25:11.280 were running out of money, so they put caps on 2432 02:25:11.399 --> 02:25:13.479 what they would pay the doctors. Of course, that's always 2433 02:25:13.479 --> 02:25:15.559 the way it goes. They put price gaps in and 2434 02:25:15.639 --> 02:25:17.879 then the doctor said, hey, now we're not making what 2435 02:25:18.000 --> 02:25:21.319 we think we deserve for our services, so we're going 2436 02:25:21.399 --> 02:25:23.840 to restrict the amount of time that we see the patients, 2437 02:25:24.239 --> 02:25:26.520 and we're going to increase the number of patients per day, 2438 02:25:26.600 --> 02:25:28.760 so we can make up for what we've been losing 2439 02:25:28.840 --> 02:25:31.319 here because you put caps on all these services. So 2440 02:25:31.440 --> 02:25:35.159 then they got more complaints from the customers, the patients 2441 02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:37.840 who said, hey, I'm going into one office, I'm only 2442 02:25:37.879 --> 02:25:40.239 in there for three minutes, and then they're shuffling me out. 2443 02:25:40.360 --> 02:25:42.639 What's going on. So then they come out with the 2444 02:25:42.680 --> 02:25:45.360 government with the new band aid over the the you know, 2445 02:25:45.520 --> 02:25:52.920 over the the the the injury. They've already caused to say, well, 2446 02:25:53.040 --> 02:25:56.200 now we're going to impose limits on the number of 2447 02:25:56.360 --> 02:25:59.479 patients that doctors can see per day, and we're going 2448 02:25:59.559 --> 02:26:02.319 to say what they have to see first and what 2449 02:26:02.520 --> 02:26:05.440 takes precedence. So one of the carpenters on the set 2450 02:26:05.879 --> 02:26:08.120 said to me, he said, does that mean that they 2451 02:26:08.159 --> 02:26:10.600 can tell us what we can get sick with on 2452 02:26:10.760 --> 02:26:14.520 what days? And I said, essentially, that is what it 2453 02:26:14.680 --> 02:26:16.360 tells you. That is what it says. 2454 02:26:16.440 --> 02:26:18.920 All the facets of this is one size fits all, 2455 02:26:19.000 --> 02:26:23.520 which necessarily follows, you know, you have an organization or 2456 02:26:23.520 --> 02:26:25.639 an app rath that in order to try to cope 2457 02:26:25.639 --> 02:26:28.040 with this, and again assuming that you're even well intended, 2458 02:26:28.520 --> 02:26:31.079 because you can't deal with individuals you're dealing with collectives, 2459 02:26:31.280 --> 02:26:33.319 so one size fits all. I read something really interesting 2460 02:26:33.360 --> 02:26:34.760 on lou Rockwell the other day and you may have 2461 02:26:34.799 --> 02:26:36.719 seen it too, was by a doctor whish I could 2462 02:26:36.719 --> 02:26:38.799 remember the guy's name, and he talked about one of 2463 02:26:38.840 --> 02:26:42.319 the problems with vaccines in the context of government mandates 2464 02:26:42.319 --> 02:26:45.159 and all of that, is that you don't have individualized 2465 02:26:45.200 --> 02:26:49.280 treatments for particular people whose physiology, whose history may be different. 2466 02:26:49.360 --> 02:26:52.479 You have a one size fits all shot that is 2467 02:26:52.520 --> 02:26:55.479 injected into everybody and may have pernicious results in some 2468 02:26:55.680 --> 02:26:58.239 people by dint of the fact that that particular person 2469 02:26:58.799 --> 02:27:02.200 may have a different metabolism or history or something that 2470 02:27:02.319 --> 02:27:04.159 if you took the time to deal with that person 2471 02:27:04.159 --> 02:27:07.120 as an individual and tailor or treatment according to that 2472 02:27:07.200 --> 02:27:10.920 particular person, the outcome would have been positive rather than negative. 2473 02:27:11.200 --> 02:27:12.760 But we have to have this one size fits all. 2474 02:27:12.799 --> 02:27:15.639 Everybody's the same, you know. So it's going to get 2475 02:27:15.639 --> 02:27:17.159 to the point where it's just like you know, in 2476 02:27:17.200 --> 02:27:19.239 the movie Depiction of or Worlds nineteen eighty four, everybody 2477 02:27:19.239 --> 02:27:21.600 wears the party onesie, you know, the jumpsuit you're all, 2478 02:27:21.680 --> 02:27:24.799 you know, like all fitting clothes. You're wearing the same 2479 02:27:24.959 --> 02:27:30.680 bad quality food. You're driving your government motors approved vehicle 2480 02:27:30.719 --> 02:27:33.239 that's the same as everybody else's vehicle. You know, it 2481 02:27:33.479 --> 02:27:36.479 literally sucks the life out of life. You want to 2482 02:27:37.840 --> 02:27:43.200 just sameness this brutalist you know, no latitude, no, no creativity, no, 2483 02:27:43.559 --> 02:27:45.559 you know, hey, let's try this, let's do something differently. 2484 02:27:45.680 --> 02:27:46.719 All has to be the same. 2485 02:27:48.639 --> 02:27:50.079 Isn't that interesting that you should? 2486 02:27:50.200 --> 02:27:50.360 Yeah? 2487 02:27:50.399 --> 02:27:52.200 And I think you brought this up when you were 2488 02:27:52.239 --> 02:27:57.319 chatting with David before about brutalist architecture and artwork, and 2489 02:27:57.639 --> 02:28:03.959 you know that there's something very anti human about it, 2490 02:28:05.000 --> 02:28:11.840 because you know, humans tend to be attracted to things 2491 02:28:12.079 --> 02:28:15.920 that have certain qualities to them, and you can see this. 2492 02:28:16.079 --> 02:28:17.600 You can see it with babies, you can see it 2493 02:28:17.639 --> 02:28:21.120 with animals. Animals are attracted to certain things, and the 2494 02:28:21.200 --> 02:28:24.760 brutalist thing is almost anti nature. It's very, very strange. 2495 02:28:25.200 --> 02:28:28.239 I could never understand it. You look at the Boston 2496 02:28:28.319 --> 02:28:31.120 City Hall building, which is one of the ugliest buildings 2497 02:28:31.200 --> 02:28:34.079 ever created, and that thing should have been torn down 2498 02:28:34.120 --> 02:28:36.000 the minute they put it up, right, they should never 2499 02:28:36.079 --> 02:28:39.159 have put it up. And as a perfect example of 2500 02:28:40.319 --> 02:28:42.959 how it's almost put up as an insult to people 2501 02:28:43.239 --> 02:28:43.639 in a way. 2502 02:28:44.000 --> 02:28:44.840 No, it's purposeful. 2503 02:28:45.479 --> 02:28:45.639 You know. 2504 02:28:45.680 --> 02:28:47.840 I read a book once about Albert Spear, who was 2505 02:28:47.920 --> 02:28:51.920 Hitler's architect, and describing what he was trying to accomplish 2506 02:28:52.079 --> 02:28:55.079 building the new Riche Chancellory, which doesn't exist anymore in Berlin, 2507 02:28:55.520 --> 02:28:57.799 and it was an example of the brutalist architecture. 2508 02:28:58.079 --> 02:28:58.239 You know. 2509 02:28:58.319 --> 02:29:01.239 The entrance to Hitler's office had doors that were I 2510 02:29:01.319 --> 02:29:04.319 think fourteen or fifteen feet high something like that. You 2511 02:29:04.399 --> 02:29:07.639 know that they were designed to be intimidating and to dehumanized, 2512 02:29:07.959 --> 02:29:12.440 to make people feel small in the presence of omnipotent government, 2513 02:29:12.760 --> 02:29:16.079 you know, as I'm as embodied by Hitler, and the 2514 02:29:16.159 --> 02:29:20.120 same with regard to these these proletarian apartment buildings that 2515 02:29:20.200 --> 02:29:23.680 you see in Eastern Europe and in the Russia, remnants 2516 02:29:23.680 --> 02:29:26.799 of the old Soviet Union. It's designed to make people 2517 02:29:26.879 --> 02:29:31.920 feel small and helpless, to to smash their individuality, to 2518 02:29:32.000 --> 02:29:34.719 make them feel like just an atom, you know, part 2519 02:29:34.840 --> 02:29:38.479 of some greater, big collective as opposed to an individual 2520 02:29:38.600 --> 02:29:39.440 that has some power. 2521 02:29:40.239 --> 02:29:46.760 It reminds me of the Twilight Zone, the Obsolete Man 2522 02:29:46.920 --> 02:29:49.879 with Burgess Meredith when they opened those big, tall doors. 2523 02:29:49.920 --> 02:29:52.879 I wonder for rod Sterling. Rod Sterling obviously was a 2524 02:29:52.959 --> 02:29:59.760 big anti Nazi guy and understood quite well the problems 2525 02:29:59.799 --> 02:30:02.799 of of course, as I might have mentioned this to Eric, 2526 02:30:02.840 --> 02:30:04.159 I think a lot of the people came out of 2527 02:30:04.239 --> 02:30:06.719 World War two thought that the UN would be an 2528 02:30:06.760 --> 02:30:10.239 answer to international conflicts and so on. So he actually 2529 02:30:10.639 --> 02:30:13.120 like wrote a script in favor of the UN one time. 2530 02:30:13.559 --> 02:30:16.040 But I wonder what he would think today. Uh let 2531 02:30:16.120 --> 02:30:18.479 me ask you this before I want to get one 2532 02:30:18.520 --> 02:30:20.399 more thought on one, more of your one and more 2533 02:30:20.440 --> 02:30:23.159 of your articles, Eric Peters, Eric Peters autos dot com, 2534 02:30:23.440 --> 02:30:25.440 and I want to turn to some of the comments 2535 02:30:25.479 --> 02:30:29.520 from people here. Uh, let's see, we've got inside Rockfinn. 2536 02:30:30.440 --> 02:30:32.520 Let's see some of the folks who are in there. 2537 02:30:33.200 --> 02:30:35.559 A lot of comments from people going back and forth, 2538 02:30:35.680 --> 02:30:42.040 tons of comments. Actually, we've got uh Wes robertson communism 2539 02:30:42.799 --> 02:30:49.719 and uh uh let me see my i Q micro 2540 02:30:49.799 --> 02:30:52.440 dot says, when most folks are so jammed up on 2541 02:30:52.639 --> 02:30:56.040 religion they cannot eat, plurbus unham. I always look through 2542 02:30:56.200 --> 02:30:59.360 lens of love, but I see mostly deranged g m 2543 02:30:59.479 --> 02:31:05.079 O people repeating senseless pap by rote. Well, you know, 2544 02:31:05.200 --> 02:31:07.479 it's interesting because the religion of the state is what 2545 02:31:07.639 --> 02:31:11.280 they try to use to replace you know, individual connection 2546 02:31:11.360 --> 02:31:17.000 to God and neighbors. Let me see a couple other 2547 02:31:17.079 --> 02:31:24.479 ones here over at Rumble. Okay, we've got don't frag me, 2548 02:31:24.600 --> 02:31:28.239 bro is chatting with someone, says, First comes the kind 2549 02:31:28.319 --> 02:31:31.000 tyranny with drugs to make us think we are happy. 2550 02:31:31.280 --> 02:31:33.559 Then comes the boot on the neck. Well on the 2551 02:31:33.639 --> 02:31:36.399 drug subject, Eric, I'd love to get your thoughts on this, 2552 02:31:36.520 --> 02:31:39.360 because I got one final one on of course, Donald 2553 02:31:39.360 --> 02:31:43.319 Trump is going to save the world by essentially making 2554 02:31:43.479 --> 02:31:48.760 Mexico more of a vassal state and using the word 2555 02:31:48.959 --> 02:31:54.040 terrorism to describe drug dealers. Because terrorism is an easily 2556 02:31:54.239 --> 02:31:56.799 malleable word. It can be turned into anything. 2557 02:31:56.920 --> 02:31:59.239 So here we go, dude, it's going to change everything. 2558 02:31:59.280 --> 02:31:59.639 Look at this. 2559 02:32:01.040 --> 02:32:02.879 When I am back in the White House, I will 2560 02:32:02.920 --> 02:32:07.200 immediately end the Biden border nightmare that traffickers are using 2561 02:32:07.440 --> 02:32:10.000 to exploit vulnerable women and children. 2562 02:32:10.440 --> 02:32:13.719 We will fully secure the border. I will wage war on. 2563 02:32:13.799 --> 02:32:17.319 The cartels, just as I destroyed the ISIS Caliphate one 2564 02:32:17.440 --> 02:32:21.639 hundred percent gone, one hundred percent destroyed. They'll come back 2565 02:32:21.760 --> 02:32:24.559 now because we have a weak administration. I will use 2566 02:32:24.639 --> 02:32:25.680 Title forty two today. 2567 02:32:25.799 --> 02:32:28.520 So let me just ask, is anybody aware that he 2568 02:32:29.879 --> 02:32:32.920 sat in Syria and worked with ISIS splinter groups. 2569 02:32:33.440 --> 02:32:35.159 Well, the thing that as sounds me the most, you know, 2570 02:32:35.399 --> 02:32:38.319 when he talks about this issue, as far as I know, 2571 02:32:38.520 --> 02:32:41.079 for the most part, probably for ninety nine point nine percent, 2572 02:32:41.399 --> 02:32:44.520 regardless of what you think about illegal drugs or street drugs, 2573 02:32:45.079 --> 02:32:48.479 they use the term pusher. You know, people voluntarily buy 2574 02:32:48.600 --> 02:32:51.639 these drugs. You know, the drug dealer has no power 2575 02:32:51.959 --> 02:32:55.440 to make you take his drugs. Meanwhile, juxtapose that with 2576 02:32:55.559 --> 02:32:57.600 the Orange Man who used the power of the federal 2577 02:32:57.719 --> 02:33:01.639 government to coerce people to take these drugs, who pushed 2578 02:33:01.680 --> 02:33:06.680 drugs during the aftermath of the pandemic, who actually pushed them, employers, 2579 02:33:06.719 --> 02:33:09.280 the military, you name it. You know, people were presented 2580 02:33:09.319 --> 02:33:11.639 with the option if you don't take these drugs, you're 2581 02:33:11.680 --> 02:33:14.079 going to lose your job, you're going to get kicked 2582 02:33:14.079 --> 02:33:15.920 out of the military, you're going to miss your kids, 2583 02:33:15.959 --> 02:33:19.440 can't go to school. That's pushing people. Again. I'm not 2584 02:33:19.559 --> 02:33:21.600 you know, I'm not advocating the people take fentanyl or 2585 02:33:21.600 --> 02:33:23.200 any other street drug. I'm just saying that for the 2586 02:33:23.280 --> 02:33:26.239 most part, these drugs are offered to people who choose 2587 02:33:26.360 --> 02:33:29.399 to take them. They're not being pushed on anybody exactly. 2588 02:33:29.600 --> 02:33:32.280 And you know I mentioned on Liberty Conspiracy last night, 2589 02:33:32.319 --> 02:33:34.639 I was working on a novel and I found out 2590 02:33:35.360 --> 02:33:39.559 that the Dea of of of the US was working 2591 02:33:39.639 --> 02:33:43.639 with the Sineloa cartel because the Cineloa. They said, Okay, 2592 02:33:43.760 --> 02:33:46.319 we'll give you an easy ride in the United States, 2593 02:33:46.680 --> 02:33:49.600 will be hands off for you in certain areas, if 2594 02:33:49.680 --> 02:33:54.559 you'll work in Mexico to keep crushing the smaller guys, 2595 02:33:54.920 --> 02:33:58.120 and you'll be you'll remain dominant. They literally did this 2596 02:33:58.440 --> 02:34:00.559 the Dea of the United States, which of course as 2597 02:34:00.559 --> 02:34:03.440 an unconstitutional agency, and no one seems to question these 2598 02:34:03.479 --> 02:34:06.319 things anymore. They don't question the way the members of 2599 02:34:06.399 --> 02:34:11.079 law enforcement against prohibition former cops will show that even 2600 02:34:11.200 --> 02:34:13.760 after all these decades of the so called drug war, 2601 02:34:14.360 --> 02:34:17.559 you know, treating it as if we ourselves are terrorists. 2602 02:34:17.719 --> 02:34:20.319 Right again, they use this term. Look at what I 2603 02:34:20.399 --> 02:34:22.079 mentioned last night on the show. Look at what the 2604 02:34:22.239 --> 02:34:26.440 FBI did with those parents who were concerned about their schools. 2605 02:34:26.879 --> 02:34:31.959 They sent they they contacted the National Association of school 2606 02:34:32.040 --> 02:34:35.920 Boards and they said, hey, this is the Biden administration 2607 02:34:36.200 --> 02:34:39.200 win going, why don't you write letters to us and 2608 02:34:39.399 --> 02:34:44.799 say you're concerned about these dangerous parents coming in who 2609 02:34:44.879 --> 02:34:50.040 are threatening LGBTQ or teachers, and then we will set 2610 02:34:50.319 --> 02:34:54.200 FBI agents on them. It's just absurd. They use this 2611 02:34:54.360 --> 02:34:58.079 language to scare people. And the drugs are not something 2612 02:34:58.159 --> 02:35:00.559 that are being forced on me the way the US 2613 02:35:00.639 --> 02:35:01.840 government policy is. 2614 02:35:02.200 --> 02:35:04.760 And it's also entirely arbitrary. I like the construction the 2615 02:35:04.840 --> 02:35:07.680 war on some drugs. You know, I can't remember who 2616 02:35:07.760 --> 02:35:10.360 came up with that, but it's apt, isn't it, you know, Yeah, 2617 02:35:10.680 --> 02:35:12.879 of the so called war on some drugs. You know, 2618 02:35:12.959 --> 02:35:15.000 alcohol is perfectly legal, and I don't have a problem 2619 02:35:15.040 --> 02:35:17.159 with people drinking beer or wine or liquor or whatever. 2620 02:35:17.280 --> 02:35:20.239 But the point is there's this this bizarre incongruity. The 2621 02:35:20.440 --> 02:35:23.559 cop who arrests you because you've got a bag of 2622 02:35:23.639 --> 02:35:26.639 pot in your pocket goes home and drinks a six 2623 02:35:26.719 --> 02:35:29.559 pack of beer and probably beats his wife. You know, 2624 02:35:29.920 --> 02:35:34.159 it's that's it all out of your head. 2625 02:35:34.639 --> 02:35:36.799 Yeah, And that's that's one of the main problems that 2626 02:35:36.879 --> 02:35:41.079 I have, is is you know, it's the and and 2627 02:35:41.600 --> 02:35:44.000 as you say, the larger the system, the more the 2628 02:35:44.120 --> 02:35:47.680 more easily these people, the easier the facility for them 2629 02:35:47.760 --> 02:35:50.479 to be able to get away with wrongdoing. And this 2630 02:35:50.639 --> 02:35:54.000 is exactly what we see with US international relations, whether 2631 02:35:54.040 --> 02:35:56.799 it's Ukraine and the bio labs, the corruption there with 2632 02:35:56.959 --> 02:35:59.719 Hunter Biden, whether it's Syria and the money that's going 2633 02:35:59.760 --> 02:36:03.399 over to them, all sorts of things international black rock, 2634 02:36:03.840 --> 02:36:06.319 the green stuff, with the you know, the buyouts of 2635 02:36:06.399 --> 02:36:11.920 these companies and and they steer people's behavior. It's just ridiculous. 2636 02:36:12.000 --> 02:36:16.239 Let's end on this, however, because over on your website, Eric, 2637 02:36:16.399 --> 02:36:22.000 you have something that I'm so happy about. What's that 2638 02:36:22.399 --> 02:36:22.760 you play? 2639 02:36:22.799 --> 02:36:23.200 The music? 2640 02:36:23.920 --> 02:36:24.079 Oh? 2641 02:36:24.319 --> 02:36:27.360 Well, I want to do this is the Rockford car 2642 02:36:27.799 --> 02:36:32.000 the Firebird. So I don't have the theme for Rockford here, 2643 02:36:32.319 --> 02:36:35.280 which is a great theme at the tonally your name 2644 02:36:35.360 --> 02:36:38.159 and message. I'll get back to you. Tell us about 2645 02:36:38.319 --> 02:36:42.239 this piece. TV and movie cars are often remembered fondly 2646 02:36:42.600 --> 02:36:45.239 and for longer than the actors who drove them. You 2647 02:36:45.360 --> 02:36:47.959 have smoking the bandon in here, so tell us about this. 2648 02:36:48.280 --> 02:36:49.719 The Rockford Files. 2649 02:36:50.239 --> 02:36:52.959 Yeah, Well, to set the stage back in the seventies, 2650 02:36:53.000 --> 02:36:54.959 there was a TV show called The Rockford Files. You know, 2651 02:36:55.040 --> 02:36:57.280 people who are under thirty today probably won't remember it, 2652 02:36:58.000 --> 02:36:59.719 but it was about a kind of low rent p 2653 02:36:59.879 --> 02:37:01.440 I He didn't have a lot of money. He lived 2654 02:37:01.440 --> 02:37:03.760 in a trailer by the beach, so he couldn't afford 2655 02:37:04.159 --> 02:37:06.239 a trans Am, which was the top of the line 2656 02:37:06.639 --> 02:37:09.159 version of the Pontiac Firebird, so he drove what you 2657 02:37:09.239 --> 02:37:11.879 see there, which was a base Firebird. But the neat 2658 02:37:11.920 --> 02:37:14.200 thing about the car back in those days, you know, 2659 02:37:14.319 --> 02:37:17.559 Pontiac offered you the option to select a la carte 2660 02:37:17.600 --> 02:37:20.680 from the transam's performance hardware. In other words, you could 2661 02:37:20.719 --> 02:37:24.760 buy the base Firebird without all the cost padding extras, 2662 02:37:24.959 --> 02:37:28.920 but you could pick the transam's high performance engine, the transmission, 2663 02:37:28.959 --> 02:37:31.959 the heavy duty suspension, and basically have a Transam that 2664 02:37:32.000 --> 02:37:34.799 didn't look like one for a lot less money, you know. 2665 02:37:34.920 --> 02:37:36.879 And Ford did the same thing. You probably remember this, 2666 02:37:37.040 --> 02:37:38.920 and they're going fast forward a little bit to the 2667 02:37:39.000 --> 02:37:42.559 eighties and into the nineties with the Mustang LX five oh, 2668 02:37:43.040 --> 02:37:45.520 which they took the base Mustang, you know, which ordinarily 2669 02:37:45.680 --> 02:37:48.360 was a kind of a secretary's car, a grocery gether car, 2670 02:37:48.440 --> 02:37:51.479 came with a little four cylinder engine, and they fitted 2671 02:37:51.520 --> 02:37:54.159 it out with the Mustang GTS high Performance V eight, 2672 02:37:54.680 --> 02:37:57.959 same transmission, heavy duty suspension and all of that, but 2673 02:37:58.079 --> 02:38:00.360 for a lot less But it didn't look like a 2674 02:38:00.479 --> 02:38:04.719 Mustang GT. Unfortunately, you can't have that today anymore. You know, 2675 02:38:04.840 --> 02:38:06.719 if you want to, if you want the performance car, 2676 02:38:06.799 --> 02:38:08.520 you have to buy the performance car at the top 2677 02:38:08.600 --> 02:38:12.360 of the line model, and unfortunately that's pushing you know it. Particularly, 2678 02:38:12.399 --> 02:38:15.280 I feel bad for people who are in their twenties today, 2679 02:38:15.280 --> 02:38:16.959 you know, who'd like to have a fun car like that, 2680 02:38:17.319 --> 02:38:19.559 but they can't come up with a forty plus thousand 2681 02:38:19.600 --> 02:38:22.280 dollars And it takes, you know, to buy a current 2682 02:38:22.559 --> 02:38:26.280 Mustang GT, because Ford won't sell them a de contented 2683 02:38:26.399 --> 02:38:29.760 based Mustang with the GT's drive line for you know, 2684 02:38:29.879 --> 02:38:30.680 ten grand less. 2685 02:38:31.159 --> 02:38:35.079 Yeah, yeah, well, I you know, to have many more 2686 02:38:35.159 --> 02:38:37.399 options would be so much fun. And I love the 2687 02:38:37.479 --> 02:38:41.120 idea you have the the embedded video of Jay Leno, who, 2688 02:38:41.200 --> 02:38:44.000 by the way, was I got to meet him after 2689 02:38:44.079 --> 02:38:45.600 he did a show in Boston one time and he 2690 02:38:45.719 --> 02:38:49.360 was driving his mom's Gigantic I think it was like 2691 02:38:49.440 --> 02:38:53.079 a Lincoln and it was starting to snow and I 2692 02:38:53.200 --> 02:38:56.120 saw him after the show. I was walking along Commonwealth 2693 02:38:56.200 --> 02:38:58.719 Avenue in Boston and he was pulling out from one 2694 02:38:58.719 --> 02:39:00.280 of the parking lot's. See it had done a show 2695 02:39:00.360 --> 02:39:02.719 at bu and it was at the time when he 2696 02:39:02.920 --> 02:39:04.959 when he would take the questions of what's your beef, 2697 02:39:05.120 --> 02:39:07.879 what's your beef, and he would, you know, start talking 2698 02:39:07.920 --> 02:39:10.399 about something, just riffing it would go. He just was 2699 02:39:10.479 --> 02:39:14.360 hilarious spontaneously. And I see this big car pulling out 2700 02:39:14.399 --> 02:39:17.079 and I see it's Jay and he rolls down the window. 2701 02:39:17.079 --> 02:39:19.319 I'm like, hey, Jay, and the snow's coming down. It's 2702 02:39:19.360 --> 02:39:20.959 just the two of us is sort of getting this 2703 02:39:21.280 --> 02:39:24.799 like nighttime. He goes, Hey, how you doing. Like, it's 2704 02:39:25.120 --> 02:39:26.799 nice to meet you. Man. You were really you were 2705 02:39:26.840 --> 02:39:29.840 really funny man, really appreciated what you did. It was 2706 02:39:29.879 --> 02:39:32.280 a great show. He goes, thanks, it's like you really 2707 02:39:32.319 --> 02:39:34.280 do drive a big car and goes it's my mom's 2708 02:39:34.399 --> 02:39:36.399 she lives in andover. I'm just driving back. He goes, 2709 02:39:36.440 --> 02:39:38.479 I hope I make it. Her tires are really bald. 2710 02:39:39.360 --> 02:39:43.479 So it was great. And and I love the embedded stuff. 2711 02:39:43.559 --> 02:39:46.520 And you talk about the Mustang GT in here, and 2712 02:39:47.239 --> 02:39:50.239 I think it's really neat that people had these types 2713 02:39:50.280 --> 02:39:54.159 of options and in those days, as you say, teenagers 2714 02:39:54.239 --> 02:39:56.399 could get the skills, they could work on these things 2715 02:39:56.479 --> 02:39:57.799 and mess around with the cars. 2716 02:39:58.600 --> 02:40:01.040 Yep, yep, it's a shame that we've lost that. I 2717 02:40:01.120 --> 02:40:03.479 hope that we can recover it. And by the way, 2718 02:40:03.479 --> 02:40:05.879 as far as Jay goes, you know, I've taken issue 2719 02:40:05.920 --> 02:40:08.559 with him on a number of occasions for political points 2720 02:40:08.559 --> 02:40:10.959 of view that he's taken. But he is a car guy. 2721 02:40:11.360 --> 02:40:13.239 He does know his cars, and he does a really 2722 02:40:13.280 --> 02:40:16.639 good job of collecting and preserving pieces of history, and 2723 02:40:16.719 --> 02:40:19.559 so I will commend him for doing that. Yeah, that 2724 02:40:19.680 --> 02:40:21.520 particular car in the video is actually one of the 2725 02:40:21.680 --> 02:40:24.079 actual movie cars from Rockford Files. 2726 02:40:25.040 --> 02:40:28.920 That's great, it's gorgeous. I wonder if that's the right 2727 02:40:29.040 --> 02:40:31.760 license plate too, you know about that. 2728 02:40:31.840 --> 02:40:33.399 I haven't had a chance to check it out, but 2729 02:40:33.600 --> 02:40:34.079 it could be. 2730 02:40:35.000 --> 02:40:36.840 And I don't know if I I don't know if 2731 02:40:36.879 --> 02:40:39.000 I don't know if I ever told you Eric, but 2732 02:40:39.239 --> 02:40:41.200 you know the story about Rockford. Did I ever tell 2733 02:40:41.200 --> 02:40:43.239 you about where Rockford came from? I don't know if 2734 02:40:43.280 --> 02:40:46.680 I mentioned this too, Like the show, Yeah, yeah, like 2735 02:40:47.000 --> 02:40:50.879 how the character started, you know, Oh yeah, yeah. Okay. 2736 02:40:51.040 --> 02:40:54.520 So when I was a kid, ABC had a TV 2737 02:40:54.680 --> 02:40:58.120 show called Toma and it was on for one season 2738 02:40:58.719 --> 02:41:01.639 and I played the theme on Liberty Conspiracy because the 2739 02:41:01.719 --> 02:41:04.600 theme is great. And my brother, seven years my elder 2740 02:41:04.760 --> 02:41:06.399 We had a real to real tape recorder and he 2741 02:41:06.440 --> 02:41:09.479 would record television themes before the TV tunes people at 2742 02:41:09.520 --> 02:41:11.959 the CDs. He had them all on tape. We had 2743 02:41:12.040 --> 02:41:15.319 everything John Williams had done, you know, time Tunnel Voyage, 2744 02:41:15.360 --> 02:41:18.040 at the Bottom of the Sea, all that stuff, and 2745 02:41:19.120 --> 02:41:21.799 he recorded the Rockford Files theme and all those things. 2746 02:41:22.000 --> 02:41:24.920 But before he got the Rockford Files. A couple of 2747 02:41:24.959 --> 02:41:27.319 years before that, there was a show called Toma. It 2748 02:41:27.360 --> 02:41:29.719 had a great theme. It was done by the guy 2749 02:41:29.760 --> 02:41:31.600 who did the theme for Hill Street Blues and all 2750 02:41:31.639 --> 02:41:36.680 those things, and it was about a guy in New 2751 02:41:36.760 --> 02:41:39.440 York who was a police officer, a real guy, sort 2752 02:41:39.479 --> 02:41:42.399 of like the guy al Pacino played in the movie 2753 02:41:42.760 --> 02:41:45.360 I can't remember, but he was like an undercover cop 2754 02:41:46.239 --> 02:41:48.840 and he was he actually was real and he was 2755 02:41:49.079 --> 02:41:51.920 known as a really good undercover cop, man of a 2756 02:41:52.000 --> 02:41:55.120 thousand faces, named David Toma. And there was a book 2757 02:41:55.200 --> 02:41:58.440 called Toma and it was his story about infiltrating the 2758 02:41:58.520 --> 02:42:02.360 street gangs and all those things. And so ABC put 2759 02:42:02.440 --> 02:42:06.159 the show on and David Toma was actually like an 2760 02:42:06.200 --> 02:42:08.719 advisor on the show. And the show was a hit. 2761 02:42:08.920 --> 02:42:10.760 It was a It was like in the top ten 2762 02:42:11.399 --> 02:42:14.319 and The lead actor who played David Toma was a 2763 02:42:14.360 --> 02:42:18.879 guy named Michael or something Tony Mussante I think his 2764 02:42:19.040 --> 02:42:25.680 name was, and uh so he I guess he, I guess. 2765 02:42:25.719 --> 02:42:28.760 He didn't realize when he signed the contract that it 2766 02:42:28.879 --> 02:42:31.360 was supposed to be like, you come back next year 2767 02:42:31.520 --> 02:42:33.440 if it's a hit. So at the end of the 2768 02:42:33.520 --> 02:42:35.639 season he's like, oh, that was fun. I don't want 2769 02:42:35.639 --> 02:42:37.159 to do it anymore. You want to do something else? 2770 02:42:37.639 --> 02:42:39.879 This is no wait wait, this is a hit show. 2771 02:42:40.120 --> 02:42:43.040 What are you doing? How can you leave? He goes, 2772 02:42:43.159 --> 02:42:44.840 I don't want to do it anymore? He didn't want 2773 02:42:44.840 --> 02:42:49.120 to do it. So instead what they did was they 2774 02:42:49.239 --> 02:42:56.000 created essentially a Tooma like character in Bretta. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 2775 02:42:56.079 --> 02:42:59.399 so I think I maybe we spoke. Yeah. So that 2776 02:42:59.639 --> 02:43:02.760 gave Robert Blake, you know, as sad as you know, 2777 02:43:02.959 --> 02:43:06.600 his story became later. It gave him a chance to 2778 02:43:06.719 --> 02:43:10.159 have a second, you know, second role in life that 2779 02:43:10.399 --> 02:43:14.440 he became a big hit. Barretta was huge, and curiously 2780 02:43:14.600 --> 02:43:17.799 enough in that for the second season of Toma, they 2781 02:43:17.840 --> 02:43:20.120 already had a bunch of scripts ready and one of 2782 02:43:20.159 --> 02:43:22.559 the writers was Steven J. Cannell. It was one of 2783 02:43:22.639 --> 02:43:26.079 his early shows and he of course went on to 2784 02:43:26.159 --> 02:43:29.840 create the A Team and you know, uh, Magnum p 2785 02:43:30.000 --> 02:43:33.760 I and all these different shows. So Canell had written 2786 02:43:33.840 --> 02:43:36.280 a character who was a private eye in New York 2787 02:43:36.920 --> 02:43:42.680 named Jim Rockford, and Rockford was gonna appear on TOMA, 2788 02:43:43.479 --> 02:43:46.200 but he they never made this story. So he went 2789 02:43:46.280 --> 02:43:49.440 to NBC. He expanded on the idea, and then he 2790 02:43:49.520 --> 02:43:52.360 put Rockford on the beach in the in the little 2791 02:43:52.479 --> 02:43:57.040 mobile home. And and so if that guy Tony Wassante 2792 02:43:57.239 --> 02:44:00.760 had had decided to do the second season of TOMA, 2793 02:44:01.079 --> 02:44:04.159 we never would have gotten Rockford. Files Bretta would never 2794 02:44:04.239 --> 02:44:06.639 have been on, and all these people who did all 2795 02:44:06.680 --> 02:44:10.760 these other shows, these actors, James Garner, their trajectories on 2796 02:44:10.840 --> 02:44:14.000 their professions would have gone in completely different different directions. 2797 02:44:14.559 --> 02:44:16.719 It's incredible to think of call to. 2798 02:44:16.760 --> 02:44:18.600 Mind, which I know you're going to love this because 2799 02:44:18.719 --> 02:44:22.159 you and I are mind melding here. And many people 2800 02:44:22.159 --> 02:44:24.159 who aren't people like us, don't know this, but I 2801 02:44:24.239 --> 02:44:28.040 know you do. Jeffrey Hunter, who was the original Captain 2802 02:44:28.120 --> 02:44:32.559 of the Enterprise, yes, and who decided that I don't know, 2803 02:44:32.600 --> 02:44:34.079 I've got better things to do than to be the 2804 02:44:34.159 --> 02:44:36.479 Captain of the Enterprise, and that's when they brought in 2805 02:44:36.559 --> 02:44:40.639 William Shatner, and probably Jeffrey Unterer really regrets that he 2806 02:44:40.680 --> 02:44:42.239 didn't yeah to be the captain. 2807 02:44:43.239 --> 02:44:45.520 Yeah, And I got to say, I think I think 2808 02:44:45.639 --> 02:44:50.040 that the move, you know, the necessity to get someone 2809 02:44:50.120 --> 02:44:54.200 new and bringing in William Shatner. Having met William Shatner personally, 2810 02:44:54.520 --> 02:44:59.639 the Star Trek owes so much to the energy, you know, 2811 02:44:59.760 --> 02:45:01.680 as much as people said it was difficult to work 2812 02:45:01.719 --> 02:45:03.639 with him because he was always looking for the limelight 2813 02:45:03.760 --> 02:45:06.959 or whatever whatever, I don't think people understand unless, like, 2814 02:45:07.120 --> 02:45:08.760 you know, I've worked in Star Trek and I've met 2815 02:45:08.799 --> 02:45:11.639 William Shatner a couple of times. The energy that he 2816 02:45:11.879 --> 02:45:16.000 provided and still provides, and is what is he ninety now? Yeah, 2817 02:45:16.600 --> 02:45:20.319 it was, and the way that, yeah, he really did 2818 02:45:20.479 --> 02:45:23.639 a lot for Star Trek and he still does. So 2819 02:45:24.200 --> 02:45:25.799 that's interesting. I forgot about that. 2820 02:45:26.200 --> 02:45:30.399 The chemistry between not just Shatner but also n Mooy 2821 02:45:31.639 --> 02:45:33.840 and Forest Kelly and those guys. You know, I don't 2822 02:45:33.920 --> 02:45:36.079 It was not something that was planned. It's just something 2823 02:45:36.120 --> 02:45:39.040 that was happenstance, but in a really good way because 2824 02:45:39.319 --> 02:45:41.040 it just created, as you say, that energy. 2825 02:45:41.440 --> 02:45:44.719 So yeah, not a par Trek. I apologize, No, no, 2826 02:45:45.319 --> 02:45:48.200 it can't be duplicated. It's it's an incredible thing and 2827 02:45:49.399 --> 02:45:51.879 it really is something to see too. I don't know 2828 02:45:51.959 --> 02:45:54.479 if you saw they did recently. They used Ai and 2829 02:45:54.559 --> 02:45:57.079 an actor to sort of be the basis for Shatner, 2830 02:45:57.600 --> 02:46:00.920 and they had Shatner coming from the last of the 2831 02:46:01.200 --> 02:46:04.239 movies that Generations scene where he was with Captain Picard 2832 02:46:04.280 --> 02:46:06.879 and so on, and that that was done by Brandon Braga, 2833 02:46:06.920 --> 02:46:09.040 and I was a little disappointed the way they did that, 2834 02:46:10.000 --> 02:46:14.440 but they sort of have a nice final chapter for 2835 02:46:14.639 --> 02:46:19.040 William Shatner Nimoy, because Shatner was a little bit disappointed 2836 02:46:19.840 --> 02:46:23.639 and saddened obviously by the passing of Nimoy, but also 2837 02:46:23.719 --> 02:46:27.559 the way that their relationship didn't quite end. I think 2838 02:46:27.600 --> 02:46:30.120 the way many people would hope that a relationship, if 2839 02:46:30.159 --> 02:46:33.280 it's got to end, as they all do, you would 2840 02:46:33.319 --> 02:46:35.719 want it to end on a positive note. And it 2841 02:46:35.840 --> 02:46:38.920 ended up that h Leonar Nimoy had stopped talking to 2842 02:46:38.959 --> 02:46:42.479 William Shatner because there was a misunderstanding Shatner was involved 2843 02:46:42.559 --> 02:46:47.760 with the documentary on the Captains of Star Trek or 2844 02:46:47.799 --> 02:46:51.959 something was on Star Trek and the production team I 2845 02:46:52.040 --> 02:46:55.399 guess Shatner was involved with it. They had approached Nimoy 2846 02:46:55.760 --> 02:46:59.079 to get some footage of Nimoy, and Nimoy was busy 2847 02:46:59.200 --> 02:47:01.959 or something, and like he didn't reply or something. They 2848 02:47:02.000 --> 02:47:04.719 didn't get a reply from him, so they took some 2849 02:47:04.840 --> 02:47:08.000 footage of Nimoy from one of the Star Trek conventions 2850 02:47:08.639 --> 02:47:11.840 and they didn't get Nimoy's permission, and they put it 2851 02:47:11.879 --> 02:47:15.239 in this movie. Yeah, and you know the other I 2852 02:47:15.760 --> 02:47:18.040 guess the people making it, they didn't think anything of it. 2853 02:47:18.120 --> 02:47:20.159 They're just like, well, you know, running out of time, 2854 02:47:20.440 --> 02:47:23.639 We've got this footage, you know, let's get Leonard and 2855 02:47:23.719 --> 02:47:25.200 put him in. We'll mak him part of it. But 2856 02:47:25.680 --> 02:47:30.280 Leonard Nimoy, he was very upset, I guess, and so 2857 02:47:31.239 --> 02:47:33.959 Shatner tried to communicate with him and you know, tried 2858 02:47:34.000 --> 02:47:35.920 to apologize and so on, and it just didn't go. 2859 02:47:36.239 --> 02:47:39.040 But what's interesting is this new production from Star Trek. 2860 02:47:39.399 --> 02:47:41.959 It's about a ten minute thing. You can find it 2861 02:47:42.040 --> 02:47:45.440 on YouTube. It's got millions of views now, and it's 2862 02:47:45.520 --> 02:47:49.879 essentially they used AI to take the character of Captain Kirk, 2863 02:47:49.920 --> 02:47:53.079 who was sort of stuck in this weird like eternal 2864 02:47:53.280 --> 02:47:56.559 vortex thing where he can live forever. It's like heaven. 2865 02:47:56.680 --> 02:48:02.319 It's this weird sort of pseudoscience of heaven. After he 2866 02:48:02.399 --> 02:48:04.959 had been such a hero and his character dies at 2867 02:48:05.000 --> 02:48:08.360 the end of the Generation's movie, they have him emerge 2868 02:48:08.399 --> 02:48:11.760 from this to be able to be there when Spock 2869 02:48:11.879 --> 02:48:15.920 dies and hold his hand, and it's very interesting because 2870 02:48:15.920 --> 02:48:20.079 he passes through seeing all these different characters, like Robin Curtis, 2871 02:48:20.120 --> 02:48:24.239 who played Savik in Star Trek two and three. She's there. 2872 02:48:24.319 --> 02:48:28.760 She's a really nice actress, a really nice person, so 2873 02:48:28.959 --> 02:48:31.159 she's in the film. So they brought all these people 2874 02:48:31.239 --> 02:48:35.120 back and leonarding Moy's wife and I think his son 2875 02:48:35.760 --> 02:48:38.600 and Shatner were all involved in the production. So it 2876 02:48:38.680 --> 02:48:43.120 shows that Shatner had a very He was able to 2877 02:48:43.200 --> 02:48:46.479 have a good relationship with the family. They don't have 2878 02:48:46.600 --> 02:48:50.399 any problems with William Shatner. They've forgiven and that itself 2879 02:48:50.520 --> 02:48:53.360 is a nice to me in the end. You know, 2880 02:48:53.600 --> 02:48:56.799 all of these theatrical things. As I've gotten older, I 2881 02:48:56.840 --> 02:48:58.360 don't know if you feel the same way or you 2882 02:48:58.639 --> 02:49:01.200 probably were way ahead of me on this, but to me, 2883 02:49:01.319 --> 02:49:03.600 it's just people taking a stage and I want to 2884 02:49:03.639 --> 02:49:05.799 see them as people. You know, having worked on the 2885 02:49:05.879 --> 02:49:08.600 sound stages and been there, and I was in the 2886 02:49:08.639 --> 02:49:12.360 same sound stage where they shot Bonanza. You know, they're 2887 02:49:12.440 --> 02:49:15.079 just people walking on the concrete. They're doing their work 2888 02:49:15.280 --> 02:49:20.159 for their families, and and that human touch, that touching 2889 02:49:20.280 --> 02:49:23.840 way that those people can say, Yes, that other stuff 2890 02:49:23.879 --> 02:49:26.239 isn't important. It's the love that we have for each other. 2891 02:49:26.360 --> 02:49:29.159 And that's that's it. It's great to see. It's a 2892 02:49:29.280 --> 02:49:32.360 wonderful little thing that really doesn't mean as much about 2893 02:49:32.399 --> 02:49:35.200 the characters as it does about the people who are 2894 02:49:35.200 --> 02:49:37.120 alive today, and it makes you think about your friends 2895 02:49:37.159 --> 02:49:39.559 and maybe getting in touch with them. It's great, absolutely, 2896 02:49:39.680 --> 02:49:40.000 it does. 2897 02:49:40.159 --> 02:49:42.000 Sure, you know, we're only here for a limited time. 2898 02:49:42.360 --> 02:49:44.520 You know, let's not forget that, and let's make the 2899 02:49:44.840 --> 02:49:45.280 best of it. 2900 02:49:46.000 --> 02:49:48.600 Yeah. Yeah, Well look, Eric, I better get going, and 2901 02:49:48.760 --> 02:49:52.040 I appreciate you. You stayed extra here on the David 2902 02:49:52.120 --> 02:49:56.000 Night Show. And I hope, hopefully we'll drive people over. 2903 02:49:56.120 --> 02:49:59.120 I hope they can go over to Eric Peters autos 2904 02:49:59.159 --> 02:50:01.399 dot com. We're going to show side again. My computer's 2905 02:50:01.440 --> 02:50:03.319 been going a little slow here occasionally, I noticed, but 2906 02:50:03.719 --> 02:50:07.479 there you go. Rockford's car. By the way. 2907 02:50:07.639 --> 02:50:09.280 I just want to mention to people who maybe aren't 2908 02:50:09.280 --> 02:50:12.799 familiar with the site that unlike X, we don't charge 2909 02:50:12.840 --> 02:50:16.280 anything for people to have full access and for people 2910 02:50:16.319 --> 02:50:18.360 who want to post whatever they'd like to post, and 2911 02:50:18.399 --> 02:50:20.559 they can do it in either of two ways. There 2912 02:50:20.639 --> 02:50:23.879 are comments following all the articles, and again you don't 2913 02:50:23.959 --> 02:50:26.000 have to pay any fee at all to say whatever 2914 02:50:26.040 --> 02:50:28.280 you'd like as long as you like. And there's also 2915 02:50:28.680 --> 02:50:30.520 a forum area which is somewhat hard to find that 2916 02:50:30.559 --> 02:50:32.719 if you if you just keep scrolling down that you 2917 02:50:32.799 --> 02:50:37.760 will see a little farther. If you keep continue scrolling down, 2918 02:50:37.760 --> 02:50:39.799 there you go the forum and that's just sort of 2919 02:50:39.879 --> 02:50:42.079 a free form conversation area that you can go to 2920 02:50:42.559 --> 02:50:45.239 if you're interested in posting something about whatever you'd like 2921 02:50:45.360 --> 02:50:47.200 to post, and it can be book length if you 2922 02:50:47.239 --> 02:50:49.120 feel like it. So you know, we just have that 2923 02:50:49.239 --> 02:50:53.120 for people as an alternative to the speech suppression platform 2924 02:50:53.440 --> 02:50:55.440 that Elon Musk likes to call X. 2925 02:50:56.879 --> 02:51:02.079 Fantastic Eric, Hey, by the way, Merry Christmas late and 2926 02:51:02.200 --> 02:51:06.920 also Happy New Year. I'm probably just smiling beaming too 2927 02:51:07.040 --> 02:51:10.440 much here, but maybe that's been the thing that slowed 2928 02:51:10.479 --> 02:51:13.479 the computer down occasionally here. But just awesome to talk 2929 02:51:13.559 --> 02:51:17.079 to you, and I want to say obviously you're one 2930 02:51:17.120 --> 02:51:19.719 of the favorites.

I often will play themes 2952 02:52:27.120 --> 02:52:29.120 on the program, and for this one, I'm gonna go 2953 02:52:29.159 --> 02:52:32.520 with Edwin Starr War. And then we're going to turn 2954 02:52:32.600 --> 02:52:34.559 to some other good people that I really like, the 2955 02:52:34.600 --> 02:52:38.280 folks at antiwar dot Com and Dave DeCamp awesome people. 2956 02:52:38.399 --> 02:52:40.959 I'm friends with one of the folks just you know, 2957 02:52:41.200 --> 02:52:43.520 disclosure name, and one of the folks at anti ward 2958 02:52:43.600 --> 02:52:46.399 named Angela Keaton. But I just admire the work of 2959 02:52:46.440 --> 02:52:49.479 the other people. I haven't met them directly, but here's 2960 02:52:49.479 --> 02:52:51.520 a little something to get us into the final segment 2961 02:52:51.559 --> 02:52:52.440 here on the program. 2962 02:53:01.600 --> 02:53:02.719 Yeah, what. 2963 02:53:04.840 --> 02:53:16.079 Absolutely can what absolu changing y'all? 2964 02:53:16.639 --> 02:53:16.879 Wow? 2965 02:53:19.879 --> 02:53:36.200 What absolutely too?

I believe 2973 02:54:03.920 --> 02:54:05.719 he was sixty one years of age. So rest in 2974 02:54:05.799 --> 02:54:08.879 peace to him. And unfortunately, we just want to bring 2975 02:54:09.000 --> 02:54:13.360 up something really really stark information from You can find 2976 02:54:13.399 --> 02:54:16.479 anti War News with Dave DeCamp Monday through Friday, at 2977 02:54:16.520 --> 02:54:21.239 about midnight each night into the morning, they released their videos. 2978 02:54:21.319 --> 02:54:23.879 Dave is the editor at anti war dot Com and 2979 02:54:24.200 --> 02:54:27.079 I rely on them so much, especially recently, they've just 2980 02:54:27.200 --> 02:54:31.559 been just so important for me to see. And so 2981 02:54:32.719 --> 02:54:35.440 they have a report preceding you can see the red 2982 02:54:35.639 --> 02:54:40.719 here on the video where they're talking about four babies 2983 02:54:40.840 --> 02:54:45.200 die of hypothermia in Gaza, and he also discusses reports 2984 02:54:45.280 --> 02:54:50.559 of starvation famine inside Gaza with of course weapons, that 2985 02:54:50.639 --> 02:54:53.879 the United States could stop this in a few days 2986 02:54:53.959 --> 02:54:56.680 if they would just even stop giving them the repair 2987 02:54:56.799 --> 02:55:01.760 materials that the IDF needs to continue their slaughter there. 2988 02:55:02.479 --> 02:55:06.360 And regardless of how one feels about who should be 2989 02:55:06.399 --> 02:55:11.040 there and who should not be there, how about not 2990 02:55:11.440 --> 02:55:15.799 invading my home and taking my money or saying that 2991 02:55:15.959 --> 02:55:18.280 the government can invade my home if I don't give 2992 02:55:18.319 --> 02:55:21.120 them my money to pay for all this slaughter. But 2993 02:55:21.600 --> 02:55:25.719 the next story is such a contrast. After he talks 2994 02:55:25.719 --> 02:55:29.440 about the four babies dying of hypothermia, watch. 2995 02:55:29.280 --> 02:55:34.799 This Gaza for IDF soldiers. Here, Israel builds a beachside 2996 02:55:34.879 --> 02:55:37.520 resort in Gaza for IDF soldiers. 2997 02:55:37.600 --> 02:55:42.040 So these are that Israel builds a beachside resort in Gaza, 2998 02:55:43.040 --> 02:55:50.200 that's Palestine, for IDF soldiers, right after he's discussing four 2999 02:55:50.360 --> 02:55:52.079 children dying of hypothermia. 3000 02:55:53.280 --> 02:55:57.079 This is it Israel builds a beachside resort in Gaza 3001 02:55:57.239 --> 02:56:00.520 for IDF soldiers. So the Israeli military has built a 3002 02:56:00.680 --> 02:56:04.280 beachside resort on the coast of the northern Gaza Strip 3003 02:56:04.719 --> 02:56:08.799 where IDF soldiers occupying the Palestinian territory can relax and 3004 02:56:08.920 --> 02:56:12.959 take a break from waging a genocidal war. So, according 3005 02:56:13.000 --> 02:56:16.520 to the Israeli news site Wyet, the retreat, as they 3006 02:56:16.639 --> 02:56:20.520 called it, was built alongside a water desalination plant that 3007 02:56:20.719 --> 02:56:24.920 provides sixty thousand liters of drinking water per day. At 3008 02:56:25.000 --> 02:56:30.639 the resort, IDF soldiers can enjoy a cafe, hotel style meals, massages, 3009 02:56:31.079 --> 02:56:33.639 and hot showers, and they have access to mental health 3010 02:56:33.680 --> 02:56:37.360 support and medical services. And yes, this is a picture 3011 02:56:37.399 --> 02:56:41.360 of an IDF soldier using a cotton candy machine making 3012 02:56:41.440 --> 02:56:45.319 cotton candy at this beachside resort. And this is what 3013 02:56:45.760 --> 02:56:51.000 the Wyet Israeli media called this a beachside resort. So 3014 02:56:51.200 --> 02:56:55.440 the chief warrant Officer, the head of the food services 3015 02:56:55.479 --> 02:56:59.479 for the IDF Southern Command told Wyet, quote, you know 3016 02:56:59.639 --> 02:57:02.399 this is Gaza, right, yet we've created a sense of 3017 02:57:02.520 --> 02:57:08.479 home here with iced coffee, espresso, protein shakes, toast shakshuka, 3018 02:57:08.760 --> 02:57:11.920 fresh fruit, and even ice cream on warmer days. 3019 02:57:12.120 --> 02:57:12.639 End quote. 3020 02:57:14.399 --> 02:57:17.360 So in one part of Gaza, in most of Gaza, 3021 02:57:17.440 --> 02:57:21.959 you have these families living intense, babies dying of hypothermia, 3022 02:57:22.520 --> 02:57:26.920 people being bombed in their tents, journalists, doctors being killed. 3023 02:57:27.200 --> 02:57:29.520 And then in another part you have the soldiers that 3024 02:57:29.639 --> 02:57:33.799 are committing those atrocities, hanging out making cotton candy, getting 3025 02:57:33.959 --> 02:57:38.680 iced coffee men. And then the wine Net report said 3026 02:57:38.719 --> 02:57:43.479 that the IDF has built similar refreshment centers elsewhere in Gaza, 3027 02:57:43.559 --> 02:57:46.200 but they don't match the scope and quality of this one. 3028 02:57:46.719 --> 02:57:49.879 The construction of such facilities is just the latest sign 3029 02:57:49.959 --> 02:57:54.040 that Israel is planning for a long term military occupation 3030 02:57:54.200 --> 02:57:56.840 of Gaza and is not interested in a hostage deal 3031 02:57:56.920 --> 02:58:00.680 with Hamas that would lead to a permanent ceasefire. Colonel 3032 02:58:00.879 --> 02:58:05.239 Michael Azuli, a logistics officer for the Southern Command, said, quote, 3033 02:58:05.639 --> 02:58:11.079 the facilities deployment reflects our readiness for prolonged operations even 3034 02:58:11.159 --> 02:58:13.479 if a ceasefire is reached in the context of a 3035 02:58:13.639 --> 02:58:16.760 hostage exchange end quote. So he's saying, even if there's 3036 02:58:16.799 --> 02:58:20.399 a ceasefire, we're here. We're here for the long term 3037 02:58:21.239 --> 02:58:23.360 and then I mentioned in the article all the you know, 3038 02:58:23.440 --> 02:58:27.200 the places like the net Zurum Corridor where they've demolished 3039 02:58:27.239 --> 02:58:30.799 all the buildings and established military bases. They've also done 3040 02:58:30.840 --> 02:58:34.520 that in the Philadelphi Corridor along the entire border Israel 3041 02:58:34.559 --> 02:58:37.879 Gaza border, which they call the Buffer Zone. Then the 3042 02:58:38.040 --> 02:58:40.760 ethnic cleansing campaign. You know, they're going to do similar 3043 02:58:40.840 --> 02:58:43.280 things in those northern areas, and of course this is 3044 02:58:43.319 --> 02:58:46.680 all going to lead eventually to the establishment of Jewish 3045 02:58:46.719 --> 02:58:50.600 settlements in Gaza. That is clearly the game plan here. 3046 02:58:50.799 --> 02:58:55.079 And I mean, just the contrast between what these Israeli 3047 02:58:55.159 --> 02:58:58.600 soldiers are doing at this resort and what the Palestinians 3048 02:58:58.639 --> 02:59:04.200 are facing just absolutely shameful that the US government is 3049 02:59:04.360 --> 02:59:08.520 supporting this funding and enabling all of this. 3050 02:59:09.559 --> 02:59:14.479 Well amazing work, amazing reporting from the whole anti war team, 3051 02:59:15.079 --> 02:59:18.840 and you know, I don't know how they do a 3052 02:59:19.399 --> 02:59:23.840 really really yeoman's effort. They do a great job in 3053 02:59:24.280 --> 02:59:31.959 maintaining not an upbeat attitude, but maintaining their standards, being calm, 3054 02:59:32.319 --> 02:59:37.239 and trying to report on things without having the tragedy 3055 02:59:37.559 --> 02:59:42.479 just demoralize them and remove their energy and their capacity 3056 02:59:42.600 --> 02:59:45.760 to continue in the face of adversity. And you know, 3057 02:59:45.920 --> 02:59:49.000 it makes me think back to the opening talking about 3058 02:59:49.120 --> 02:59:52.159 it's a wonderful life and how important it is to 3059 02:59:53.479 --> 02:59:55.520 be in touch with each other and to tell each other, 3060 02:59:55.879 --> 02:59:58.159 you know, how much we appreciate them, and to lend 3061 02:59:58.200 --> 03:00:00.920 a hand once in a while, or if, uh, maybe 3062 03:00:01.120 --> 03:00:04.040 you're you're on your own, go down to a local 3063 03:00:04.120 --> 03:00:07.520 shop and see somebody occasionally, you know, give a compliment 3064 03:00:07.639 --> 03:00:10.840 on something, that sort of thing, and you know, find 3065 03:00:10.879 --> 03:00:14.520 some local people or send out a compliment if you're 3066 03:00:14.559 --> 03:00:18.120 online real quick, that sort of thing. You know, that's 3067 03:00:18.239 --> 03:00:20.959 a real benefit. And I know that Dave, Dave is 3068 03:00:21.440 --> 03:00:25.920 aware of my compliments for his work over at at Antwerp, 3069 03:00:25.920 --> 03:00:28.959 because I know Angela has mentioned. Angela and I got 3070 03:00:29.000 --> 03:00:31.120 to speak on the phone a couple about a month ago. 3071 03:00:31.799 --> 03:00:34.840 But so I know that they know how many people 3072 03:00:34.879 --> 03:00:37.479 appreciate them. But I want to thank you, and I 3073 03:00:37.559 --> 03:00:41.120 want to thank David for amazing work. Amazing work. Just 3074 03:00:41.280 --> 03:00:43.520 it just it just puts a smile on your face 3075 03:00:43.600 --> 03:00:47.479 thinking about how people can just be so great for 3076 03:00:47.600 --> 03:00:50.079 each other.
