Speaker 1: In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
Speaker 1: revolutionary act.
Speaker 2: It's the David Knight Show.
Speaker 3: As the clock strikes thirteen, it is Thursday, the sixth
Speaker 3: of November, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 3: it's official Zo Ram Mom. Donnie is Mayor of New York.
Speaker 3: Now what comes next for the Big Apple? And we
Speaker 3: have Cash Pattel in hot water but pointing out that
Speaker 3: an FBI director has already been fired for the same
Speaker 3: kind of behavior. So why isn't cash a good question?
Speaker 3: We're going to take a look at that and more
Speaker 3: on today's show, So stay with us. We'll be right
Speaker 3: back with some even bigger news. Hello, and welcome to
Speaker 3: the show today. As I said, I've got bigger news.
Speaker 3: And the big news is it's little Man's birthday. He
Speaker 3: is one year old. He is one year old today,
Speaker 3: So say happy birthday everyone if you would.
Speaker 4: He is a handful.
Speaker 3: As you can tell, he's gotten a lot bigger and
Speaker 3: a lot more fun. But I just want to say
Speaker 3: thank you all for all the kind words over the years.
Speaker 3: We really do appreciate it, and he appreciates it too,
Speaker 3: I'm sure.
Speaker 4: So that is the big news.
Speaker 3: I will now pass him off so.
Speaker 4: We can get on to the real news.
Speaker 3: So thank you all for joining us today. As I said,
Speaker 3: we're going to start with Zorron Mom, Donnie.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 3: It's hard to tell if this is just the logical
Speaker 3: progression for the politics of New York. And I want
Speaker 3: to apologize if I offended anyone the other day. I
Speaker 3: don't actually have any real dislike for New York.
Speaker 2: I just have.
Speaker 3: Simple, uh beliefs, not that I actually hate anyone from
Speaker 3: New York. I just like to be a little bit inflammatory.
Speaker 3: I find it more fun to be bombastic, So I apologize.
Speaker 3: If you're from New York. I don't hate your city.
Speaker 3: I don't hate you. I'm sorry if that was a problem.
Speaker 2: But here we are.
Speaker 3: Socialist Zorn Mom Donnie becomes first Muslim mayor of New York,
Speaker 3: and they're focusing on the fact he's Muslim instead of
Speaker 3: the fact he's socialist, it seems in this article. But
Speaker 3: they're both problems, aren't they. It's not simply a one
Speaker 3: or the other thing. Both of these are issues of
Speaker 3: These are things you look at and you go, I
Speaker 3: don't think this is right for America. Socialist zo Raun
Speaker 3: Mom Donni has been elected the first Muslim mayor of
Speaker 3: New York in a political earthquake that puts the far
Speaker 3: left in charge of America's largest, wealthiest city. So he's
Speaker 3: the first Muslim mayor.
Speaker 5: As though the far left hasn't been in charge of
Speaker 5: New York for a long long time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the conservative people of New York have been suffering.
Speaker 3: I know, you have a friend that lives in New
Speaker 3: York State, not New York City, and he has long
Speaker 3: been well, maybe not apoplectic, but unhappy with the governance
Speaker 3: of the state.
Speaker 2: Mom.
Speaker 3: Donnie, who becomes the big apples first Muslim mayor, defeated
Speaker 3: former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Republican, Curtis
Speaker 3: Sliwa in a race that became a massive flashpoint in
Speaker 3: national politics, taking over fifty percent of vote. And people
Speaker 3: are not happy with Curtis Sliwa. They're very unhappy. In fact,
Speaker 3: people are railing at him on of course, some of
Speaker 3: this is to do with Israel's policies.
Speaker 4: In fact, a.
Speaker 3: Lot of people have become aware of what's going on
Speaker 3: in the Middle East over the last you know, year
Speaker 3: or so, and they're looking at the subservience then a
Speaker 3: lot of politicians showed to the state of Israel and
Speaker 3: going why, why in the world would you actually do that?
Speaker 6: What do they do for us?
Speaker 3: And this led to some actual backlash in the New
Speaker 3: York City race. We actually have that clip, I believe of. Yeah, here,
Speaker 3: let's take a look at this.
Speaker 4: This is a good a good indicator.
Speaker 7: The first Ford visit by a mayor of New York
Speaker 7: is always considered significant. Where would you go first?
Speaker 6: Where would you go?
Speaker 7: That's right, this sounds.
Speaker 5: First visit.
Speaker 3: I would visit the Holy Land, the Holy Land.
Speaker 7: Given the hostility and the Semitism that has been shown
Speaker 7: in New York, I would go to Israel. Mister Tilson,
Speaker 7: where would you go?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd make my fourth trip to Israel, the fourth
Speaker 3: trip trip to Ukraine, two of our greatest allies that's
Speaker 3: fighting on the front lines of the global war on terror.
Speaker 8: Mister mom Donnie, I would stay in New York City.
Speaker 8: My plans are to address New Yorkers across the five
Speaker 8: boroughs and focus on that. Mister mom Donnie, can I
Speaker 8: just jump in?
Speaker 2: Would you visit Israel?
Speaker 7: Mayor?
Speaker 8: I will be doing as the mayor. I'll be standing
Speaker 8: up for Jewish New Yorkers, and I'll be meeting them
Speaker 8: wherever they are across the Five boroughs, whether that's in
Speaker 8: their synagogues and temples, or at their homes or at
Speaker 8: the subway platform, because ultimately we need to focus on
Speaker 8: delivering on their concerns.
Speaker 9: Just yes or no.
Speaker 3: Do you believe in it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well, look at how easy he had it. Look at
Speaker 3: how easy they made it for him. Where are you
Speaker 3: gonna go? Oh, I'm going to the Holy Land. I'll
Speaker 3: be taking my fourth trip to the Holy Land. Then
Speaker 3: I'm going to Ukraine. He simply says, I'm gonna speak
Speaker 3: to New Yorkers. I'm going to meet them here, I'm
Speaker 3: going to address their issues. I'm going to talk to them.
Speaker 3: And he wins, not just wins, but wins handily. People
Speaker 3: are kind of sick of it, whether it's the fact
Speaker 3: that they're mad at the subservience towards Israel, they're just
Speaker 3: sick of the fact that politicians don't care about them
Speaker 3: at all at all.
Speaker 4: They made it too obvious.
Speaker 3: Where are you going? I'm taking my fourth trip to
Speaker 3: Israel and then my fifth trip to Ukraine. And if
Speaker 3: there's any time at all left over for the people
Speaker 3: who voted me into office. Maybe maybe I'll do something
Speaker 3: about it, but you know, I've probably got other things
Speaker 3: on my mind. In his ferocious speech promising a new
Speaker 3: dawn for New York, he quoted late socialist politician Eugene Debs,
Speaker 3: bragged about toppling a political dynasty, and launched into a
Speaker 3: blistering attack against President Donald Trump, who is called Mom
Speaker 3: Donnie a communist. And I agree with Trump on this.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 3: He is a communist. And if any city can show
Speaker 3: a nation how to stop Donald Trump, it is the
Speaker 3: city that gave rise to him, said Mom Donnie, who
Speaker 3: represents a district in the same borough of Queens where
Speaker 3: the president was raised. So from the same stomping grounds
Speaker 3: as Donald Trump. They'rests, and they're both Democrats from New York.
Speaker 3: He then directly addressed the President Trump, since I know
Speaker 3: you're watching, I have.
Speaker 2: Four words for you. Turn the volume up.
Speaker 3: And of course, Mom Donnie is nothing but a demagogue.
Speaker 3: He's very very good at being relatable, at getting people
Speaker 3: to think, oh man, he's one of us. But I
Speaker 3: don't believe it for the second. I don't believe it
Speaker 3: at all. I think being if you're able to run
Speaker 3: a race for anything past dog catcher. Chances are you
Speaker 3: have some kind of backing. I'm sure Mom, Donnie does.
Speaker 3: I don't trust him at all. But upside from this,
Speaker 3: at least is we get to say goodbye and good
Speaker 3: riddance to Andrew Cuomo. You know it's not all bad.
Speaker 3: Andrew Cuomo is out the door. So the former governor
Speaker 3: had a bad record, a worse attitude, and zero vision.
Speaker 3: And this is by Christian Britshkey. And over at Cuomo's
Speaker 3: election night, party, independent journalist Michael Tracy captured whom the
Speaker 3: former governor supporters engaging in some blunt analysis of the results. Hey,
Speaker 3: Curtis Sliwa, you're a scumbag, like I said along, he
Speaker 3: says in the video, you split the vote.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 6: I told you.
Speaker 3: People were mad at Curtis Sliwa. They're not happy. They're
Speaker 3: freaking out.
Speaker 5: They're saying that he's split the vote the remainder of
Speaker 5: the less than fifty percent that was left to be split. Yeah,
Speaker 5: what difference would that make? I know he wasn't there
Speaker 5: to take part of the forty something percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, even if Curtis Leiwa isn't there, Cuomo still loses
Speaker 3: to Mom Donnie, there's nothing. No one was excited for Cuomo.
Speaker 3: No one cared. No one in the world sat there thinking,
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to vote for Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 2: Oh boy.
Speaker 5: Cuomo already lost in a direct election where there was
Speaker 5: no split vote when it was the Democrat primary.
Speaker 3: Yes, no one cares. Andrew Cuomo is old news. Not
Speaker 3: just old news, but unliked news. He's bad news. No
Speaker 3: one had any interest in voting for him at all.
Speaker 3: This unnamed Cuomo sexual Uh, that's a that's a something.
Speaker 3: Wasn't alone in expressing these sentiments.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 3: For instance, former Republican congressman and pardoned fraudster George Santos
Speaker 3: saying something similar George Santos, what a guy, And he says, uh,
Speaker 3: screw you, Curtis leiwa, I hate you all caps, your
Speaker 3: dumb wife, that stupid beret of yours, and all your cats.
Speaker 3: That's George Santos. Of course, George Santos might be mad
Speaker 3: about Zorah Mom Donnie winning because he's so Jewish and
Speaker 3: he's so pro Israel. Of course, I don't know if
Speaker 3: he's either of those things. He's definitely not Jewish, to
Speaker 3: be sure, neither are official campaign spokesman, but both the
Speaker 3: level of their rage and their target for it says
Speaker 3: a lot about the purely negative pitch of the Cuomos
Speaker 3: mayoral campaign and why that proves so completely unconvincing for
Speaker 3: voters both the primary and the general election. Quoman never
Speaker 3: seemed to be able to get beyond the idea that
Speaker 3: all he had to do to win was point at
Speaker 3: the other candidates and say, you're really going to vote
Speaker 3: for them, which you know this might be a knock
Speaker 3: on effect from the Trump elections.
Speaker 6: I don't have to.
Speaker 5: That video that you play, he really sums up where
Speaker 5: most of his support came from. It's that was the
Speaker 5: first thing I ever saw about mom Donnie. It went
Speaker 5: viral because everyone at the end of it where you
Speaker 5: cut it before, they all start braiding him for not
Speaker 5: supporting Israel enough, even though he's just going to be
Speaker 5: the mayor of a city in America.
Speaker 3: As the mayor of New York City, what are you
Speaker 3: going to do for Israel. It's important for us to
Speaker 3: know these things so we can judge whether you're fit
Speaker 3: to govern an American city, Because if you're not rapidly
Speaker 3: pro Israel, how could we let you govern US Americans,
Speaker 3: and that funny how that works.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 4: It's almost like.
Speaker 3: We're forced to put another country's interest befour hours. It's
Speaker 3: almost like we're not We're barely a second thought. But
Speaker 3: Cuomo couldn't convincingly do this given that he spent the
Speaker 3: last year so it was governorship stumbling from one incompetent
Speaker 3: scandal after another before eventually resigning in response to sexual harassment. Yeah,
Speaker 3: when you when you're Andrew Cuomo and you try to
Speaker 3: just go, you're going to vote for that guy, it's
Speaker 3: a lot easier for them to look back at you
Speaker 3: and go, you can vote for that guy. That's the
Speaker 3: guy that you're really what has he done? Look at
Speaker 3: what happened with COVID, look at what happened with the allegations.
Speaker 3: There's more fingers pointing back at him. It was Cool's
Speaker 3: administration that forced nursing homes to accept COVID positive patients
Speaker 3: and then tried to cover up the deaths that resulted
Speaker 3: from this deeply mistaken policy. It was under his governorship
Speaker 3: that New York had the worst administered emergency rental assistance
Speaker 3: program in the country. It's hard to argue that you
Speaker 3: are a steady, capable alternative to the starry eyed socialist
Speaker 3: when your administration can't do something as simple as not
Speaker 3: recklessly endangered senior citizens or.
Speaker 4: Cut checks to people.
Speaker 3: Basically, he was no good at anything. There was not
Speaker 3: a single bright spot in his administration, and people were
Speaker 3: excited to see.
Speaker 2: Him go.
Speaker 4: Mo.
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie had this sewed up for months. It was
Speaker 3: all but concluded. Anyone that looked at the level of
Speaker 3: excitement there was for Mom Donnie could kind of tell
Speaker 3: it's a excitement means a lot when it comes to
Speaker 3: a political campaign. It bears repeating after Cuomo repeating that.
Speaker 3: Cuomo also signed the twenty nineteen rent law that has
Speaker 3: done so much to damage the financial position of New
Speaker 3: York City's housing. With no decent record to run on
Speaker 3: and no positive visions to pitch, Como fell back on
Speaker 3: aristocratic entitlement. If you don't like Mom Donnie, you had
Speaker 3: to vote for him as the only realistic alternative. Sleeva
Speaker 3: voters weren't worth convincing. They simply owed loyalty to Cuomo.
Speaker 3: But that didn't end up playing out, did it. And
Speaker 3: of course, as we pointed out, Curtis Sliwa didn't get
Speaker 3: enough of the vote to mat he could have taken
Speaker 3: Cuomo could have gotten all Slee Wiz votes and Mom
Speaker 3: Donnie still wins. That's how disinterested people were in these
Speaker 3: two candidates. Now, I don't think I'll vote for that guy.
Speaker 3: We've tried that before.
Speaker 6: It's not good to.
Speaker 5: See the trying to pully up his socialism. And yes
Speaker 5: he is a socialist, but is Cuomo really that much
Speaker 5: better or better at all? New York is already pretty
Speaker 5: close to as bad as it could possibly be in
Speaker 5: terms of politics. There's limits to what these governors can
Speaker 5: do when they're in power, and they're always pushing those
Speaker 5: limits already. This guy might push them a little bit harder,
Speaker 5: but I don't think it's going to make a fundamental difference.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if him being an avowed,
Speaker 3: you know, socialist means he pushes harder and faster. I
Speaker 3: have to wait and see. That would be a downside.
Speaker 3: If Mom Donnie's avowed socialism means he's not trying to
Speaker 3: hide anything, means he doesn't feel the need to try
Speaker 3: and pretend he's not what he is.
Speaker 5: I mean, sure, it could be worse than what it
Speaker 5: is now. But I also think that they're really just
Speaker 5: setting him up to succeed because they're establishing, oh, well,
Speaker 5: we're going to see New York fall into a communist,
Speaker 5: you know, regime, and people are gonna be starving in
Speaker 5: the streets or whatever. Yeah, it's not going to be
Speaker 5: that bad.
Speaker 3: It's not going to turn into you know, the Warsaw
Speaker 3: Ghetto or something like that overnight.
Speaker 4: It's going to continue.
Speaker 5: Anything short of escape from New York will be declared
Speaker 5: a victory.
Speaker 3: Look, we didn't burn the entire thing down, and we're
Speaker 3: so proud of you, Mom Donnie. It's good. It's not
Speaker 3: good to see Mom Donnie win, but as a consolation prize,
Speaker 3: it is good to see Cuomo lose. And that's about
Speaker 3: the size of it. There's no solace in Mom Donnie.
Speaker 3: There's no hope he's going to make New York City better.
Speaker 3: But we can at least enjoy the fact that Cuomo
Speaker 3: got thrown out. That people had enough. Whatever else one
Speaker 3: wants to say about them, their choices. New York voters
Speaker 3: were right to decide that they don't want a disgraced
Speaker 3: politician with a bad record, a worse attitude, and no
Speaker 3: vision running their city government, and I think that's fair.
Speaker 3: I think between the two choices, if someone put a
Speaker 3: gun to my head and said you are going to
Speaker 3: have to vote for Andrew Cuomo or Zorron, Mom Donnie,
Speaker 3: I think I'd at least have to vote for Zoron,
Speaker 3: Mam Donni. Because Andrew Cuomo, through his policies, has directly
Speaker 3: led to deaths during COVID nineteen. I hold him responsible
Speaker 3: for actual deaths. And while I'm sure Zorn might have
Speaker 3: done the exact same thing, he hasn't yet I don't
Speaker 3: consider him to have blood on his hands at this
Speaker 3: exact moment, which means he is someone, in my opinion,
Speaker 3: at least in this case, the lesser of two evils
Speaker 3: for now. Mom Donnie tells n MSNBC he supports BDS
Speaker 3: after claiming he will be mayor for every Jewish New Yorker.
Speaker 3: During an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Mom Donnie was
Speaker 3: asked about a support for BDS, the boycott movement against Israel, boycott,
Speaker 3: divest whatever. The last one is Mom Donnie's sanctions. That's
Speaker 3: what it was.
Speaker 5: This article is phrasing it as though that's, you know,
Speaker 5: an absolutely contradictory thing. But you know this is sending.
Speaker 5: This is the nation of Israel, not Jewish New Yorker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the exact Thing's just he's the mayor of
Speaker 3: the New Yorkers. If they're Jewish and they're in New York,
Speaker 3: he could still support them, you know, give them the
Speaker 3: time and attention that they need from the mayor without
Speaker 3: him ever having to do anything for Israel. But it's
Speaker 3: just this continual conflation.
Speaker 9: If you don't.
Speaker 3: Support the political state of Israel in the Middle East,
Speaker 3: you hate every single Jew on the planet, you want
Speaker 3: them all gone. In fact, you're a Nazi. Mom Donnie
Speaker 3: was asked about a support for BDS, the boycott movement
Speaker 3: against Israel. Mom Donnie said he supports it as a
Speaker 3: way to pressure Israel to comply with international law. That's
Speaker 3: all he wants, just to comply with the international law.
Speaker 4: Please. Now we'll see if that's all he wants in future.
Speaker 3: But he's being very, very moderate in his condemnations of Israel.
Speaker 3: He's been very mild, at least as far as I've seen.
Speaker 3: Maybe there's some other videos where he's ranting and raving
Speaker 3: and screaming, but I haven't seen.
Speaker 2: A Morning Joe.
Speaker 3: Co host Willie Geist asked Mom Donnie how he could
Speaker 3: square support for Jewish New Yorkers while promoting the BDS movement,
Speaker 3: noting that many in the city's Jewish community worry Robert's
Speaker 3: animosity towards them. How can you support this one thing
Speaker 3: that's unrelated to this other. I don't get again. It's
Speaker 3: this utter conflation of the political state of Israel with
Speaker 3: every single Jewish individual on the planet. If you have
Speaker 3: a singular issue with the way NETANYAHUO runs the government
Speaker 3: of Israel, then you are evil. The candidate argued that
Speaker 3: his criticism of Israel lies with its government, not the
Speaker 3: Jewish people, same as it is here on the show,
Speaker 3: same as it is with y'all in the audience. I
Speaker 3: think critiques of the state of Israel are critiques of
Speaker 3: a government as opposed to critiques of a people and
Speaker 3: of a.
Speaker 4: Faith, he said.
Speaker 3: And my job, his job is to be the mayor
Speaker 3: of New York, not the mayor of Israel. Zoron Mamdani,
Speaker 3: boosted by opposition to Israel, wins NYC mayoral race. People
Speaker 3: have had enough, We've seen enough clips, We've seen the footage.
Speaker 3: It's hard to get away from the footage of what's
Speaker 3: going on in Palestine. People are not simply going to
Speaker 3: take it. They'll do what they can as little as
Speaker 3: that is. If that means electing a socialist, probably communist,
Speaker 3: to be the mayor of New York, to stop the
Speaker 3: bombing of children, stop the horrors they see on their
Speaker 3: social media feed, that just might be what they do.
Speaker 5: Well, let's not forget that the purpose of socialism is
Speaker 5: to institute communism. Yeah, it's the ultimate end goal.
Speaker 3: I think it was Vladimir Lenin or one of the
Speaker 3: guys that said that. All right, let's read some comments
Speaker 3: for a bit. Mister Palm ten eleven. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: God's blessing. Yes, yes he is, Little David, or you
Speaker 3: can call him squire or whatever you want. He's a blessing.
Speaker 3: He's wonderful. He makes our lives so much better. Spetro
Speaker 3: six to six says he's adorable, and Spectro six to
Speaker 3: six says, happy first birthday, Thank you, thank you. He
Speaker 3: appreciates it. He's going to be having all kinds of
Speaker 3: treats today. We're going to make sure that he gets
Speaker 3: a good day. Nad Lander, he's got your hair dude. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he kind of does. He has the same kind of
Speaker 3: curls that I used to get when I was a
Speaker 3: baby when it got long. It's about time for him
Speaker 3: to get his second haircut. The real octaves spootcute little boy.
Speaker 3: Wife asks where is David. David's not feeling too good today.
Speaker 3: He had to take the day off, but I'm still
Speaker 3: here at least for the first hour. Second hour we're
Speaker 3: playing a best of compilation, will be the Anthony Frieda
Speaker 3: interview where they talk about culture and why it's important,
Speaker 3: why art is important. And we're also going to play
Speaker 3: a Eric Peters interview and one more surprise, about fifteen
Speaker 3: minutes extra of just solo David, So stick around. The
Speaker 3: second hour will be more David Knight Show with David
Speaker 3: Knight Best of interviews.
Speaker 5: I want to say that it's not his heart that's
Speaker 5: a problem. He's just feeling he's under the weather, usual
Speaker 5: regular sickness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a regular cold fever sort of thing.
Speaker 3: He's not not in any danger. He's just feeling bad
Speaker 3: like we all do. Sometimes we have Pezanovante seventeen to
Speaker 3: seventy six says miss the start. Where is DK? So
Speaker 3: Hopefully that answers your question. Pezanovante, so go sixty eight
Speaker 3: g the first Muslim mayor of londonis stand.
Speaker 2: Sure worked out.
Speaker 4: Great, didn't it. That's right, sure did.
Speaker 3: It's Londonistan always makes me laugh. I've said for years
Speaker 3: that if we wanted to invade another Muslim country, it
Speaker 3: might as well be the UK. Give them a taste
Speaker 3: of their own medicine for once, Jim seven, he'll do
Speaker 3: plenty for Israel. The guy will reveal his true identity soon.
Speaker 5: I think you have to play politics to some degree
Speaker 5: in order to get into positions, high positions as well
Speaker 5: as mayoral positions if it's a city like New York,
Speaker 5: and that typically includes sending some money to Israel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently in American politics you don't get to play
Speaker 3: unless you at least partially support Israel.
Speaker 5: How much support the city of New York actually sentenced
Speaker 5: to them? But I guess we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I it's truly amazing. Just the Jewish population New York
Speaker 3: is incredibly large comparatively to other places in the country.
Speaker 3: Jim's seven already read that.
Speaker 6: Patty Wax.
Speaker 3: It's scary that life has become the latest great is
Speaker 3: bigger and better novelty. And that is what Zoron is.
Speaker 3: That is what Trump was, That is what LGBT nutteries.
Speaker 3: Nutteries are nuttery. Yeah, it's all just this continual push
Speaker 3: for more, more, more. Well this didn't satisfy me. What
Speaker 3: can I do next? This is old news. I need
Speaker 3: something else. It's not satisfying like it did. Maybe a
Speaker 3: bigger dose will help. It's because society is completely and
Speaker 3: utterly divorced from Christ. We've thrown him out and as
Speaker 3: such we are desperate for something to take his place,
Speaker 3: but nothing can. What if I try drugs? What if
Speaker 3: I substitute political action? What if I'm gay or trans
Speaker 3: or something? Surely that will give my life meaning?
Speaker 4: It doesn't.
Speaker 3: What you need is Christ. Without Christ, you have no
Speaker 3: meaning and no salvation. So I encourage you to turn
Speaker 3: to Him. Read the Gospel, believe it. Oh need Malik
Speaker 3: the technocrat Muslim billionaire inside maga. Oh no, We're infiltrated
Speaker 3: on all sides. Ohmied malinka Muslim, also got involved with
Speaker 3: Rockbridge Network, a conservative donor group started by Jay de
Speaker 3: Vance and Chris Chris Buskirk, a co founder of a
Speaker 3: seventeen eighty nine capital. How did all these former left
Speaker 3: wing billionaire show up on the Trump train? Isn't that
Speaker 3: the question of the day?
Speaker 9: How did it happen?
Speaker 4: How'd they get here?
Speaker 5: How did all these left wing or they say former
Speaker 5: left wing but really left wing billionaires get onto the
Speaker 5: train of the former left wing billionaire president.
Speaker 3: It's truly a question worth asking Lance. I, for one,
Speaker 3: am baffled. I've got no idea how this could have happened.
Speaker 3: Do you perhaps have some insights?
Speaker 4: Lance?
Speaker 3: Could you explain this mystery? How did he end up here?
Speaker 3: I stand the tech If you understand technocracy, you will
Speaker 3: know the agenda is not political but economic. It is
Speaker 3: also aligned with asset based Islamic finance, which is infiltrating
Speaker 3: all levels in the investment baking world. Patrick Wood, the editor,
Speaker 3: said that Patrick Wood does a lot of good work
Speaker 3: USA USA, USA. Familiar chant of another MAGA triumph filled
Speaker 3: the New York Stock Exchange last month as Omeid Malik
Speaker 3: and Donald Trump Junior rang the opening bell to mark
Speaker 3: the trading debut of firearms retailer grab A Gun. I
Speaker 3: could also call the company the culmination of their close
Speaker 3: personal business relationship, The Amazon of guns or a middle
Speaker 3: finger to anyone who's horrified that grab a Gun's stock
Speaker 3: symbol is pew, the sound of a bullet.
Speaker 6: See.
Speaker 3: I don't think we're going far enough. What we need
Speaker 3: is Uber eats for guns. I should be able to
Speaker 3: pull up my phone, look at a gun, and have
Speaker 3: somebody deliver it to my house within the next twenty
Speaker 3: five to thirty minutes. That is the only future worth having.
Speaker 3: I demand to be able to order glocks to my
Speaker 3: front door, non stop, whenever I want. That is the
Speaker 3: only thing that will satisfy me.
Speaker 5: But the man start talking about this pretty cool sounding
Speaker 5: gun service as though that's somehow Trump's creation.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming they're trying to imply that Trump is the
Speaker 3: reason he created the economic climate and the political climate
Speaker 3: where they could be allowed to succeed and thrive, which.
Speaker 5: There was no such thing as the Second Amendment before
Speaker 5: there was Trump.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump was the first second pro Second Amendment president.
Speaker 3: No one else before him has ever been pro Second Amendment.
Speaker 3: Not like Donnie is gonna take the guns and do
Speaker 3: the due process later. There should be flashing red lights
Speaker 3: Steve Bannon on mom Donnie's When Steve Bannon is saying
Speaker 3: it's time to panic, It's time to freak out. More
Speaker 3: than a few Republicans are celebrating Zoramum Donnie's victory, seeing
Speaker 3: a thirty four year old Democratic socialist political gift an
Speaker 3: albatross dinemic party. Steve Bannon is not among them. That's
Speaker 3: Steve Bannon, despite being a allegedly drunken criminal, might have
Speaker 3: more common sense than all the others in gravitating towards Trump,
Speaker 3: which is a horrifying thought to have. It is horrifying
Speaker 3: that Steve Bannon might be the most politically savvy, the
Speaker 3: most sagacious, the most circumspect member of the team, not
Speaker 3: even a member. He's on the outside looking in. Bannon
Speaker 3: seemed impressed by mom Donnie's companionability to turn out low
Speaker 3: propensity voters. Yeah, he got all these dweebs that have
Speaker 3: been disenchanted with politics to believe that he's something different.
Speaker 3: That's what you get when you're a new face without
Speaker 3: much history in politics. You get people that have been
Speaker 3: burnt out. They look at you and they say, there's
Speaker 3: a chance, you know he's the devil. I don't know,
Speaker 3: so maybe he's not a devil. Whereas any time you're
Speaker 3: dealing with known quantities, you're gonna have a certain at
Speaker 3: least a portion of the population goes, I know that guy.
Speaker 3: I will never vote for him. He has a history
Speaker 3: that I can look at and I'm sick of, and you'll.
Speaker 4: Never win them over.
Speaker 3: Well maga Icon, an ex Tucker Carlson favorite, denounces his
Speaker 3: old ally in the New Anti Semitism. Wow, it seems
Speaker 3: like they're getting a bit nervous when it comes to
Speaker 3: anti Semitism. The support for Israel is not as clamorous
Speaker 3: and all consuming as it used to be among the
Speaker 3: American people. With the advent of social media and the
Speaker 3: ability to see the outcomes of Israel's war what they're doing,
Speaker 3: bombing women and children, some people are looking at it
Speaker 3: and going, why are we supporting this? How can we
Speaker 3: support this? They've got to stop. If they want our
Speaker 3: continued support, they need to stop. And if you say that,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I've got bad news. You're an anti semi.
Speaker 3: That's just how it happens. It sneaks up on you.
Speaker 3: One day, you're thinking about how you really wish women
Speaker 3: and children would stop being murdered, and the next thing
Speaker 3: you know, you're wearing an armband with a swastika on it.
Speaker 3: That's how it happens. It's that easy. The slide is
Speaker 3: unnoticeable all of a sudden, You're an anti semi victor.
Speaker 3: Davis Hanson denounced his old ally in a long essay
Speaker 3: about the new anti Semitism for the Free Press. While Anson,
Speaker 3: it's admitted the Fox that Fox News wouldn't be able
Speaker 3: to replace Tucker Carlson after the network ousted him back
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, he did not mince words about
Speaker 3: the far right commentator in his latest essay. Blogger Daryl Cooper,
Speaker 3: implausibly proclaimed by Tucker Carlson as perhaps the best and
Speaker 3: most honest popular historian in the United States, claimed on
Speaker 3: a Carlson podcast that Adolf Hitler's armies in nineteen forty
Speaker 3: one did not really intend either to starve or murder
Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands of Jews, Ukrainians and Russian prisoners. Excuse me,
Speaker 3: even though there is a trove of documents that showed
Speaker 3: premeditated Nazi assumptions of and plans for precisely such mass death,
Speaker 3: observed Hanson. Why would Nick Fuenttis, who at times in
Speaker 3: the past has praised both Hitler and Joseph Stalin call
Speaker 3: for a holy war against Jews and denied the Holocaust
Speaker 3: remain unchallenged by Carlson on this same venue.
Speaker 4: Of course, I.
Speaker 3: Find the funniest thing about Fuentess is the fact that
Speaker 3: he's declared himself Hitler two, three and four. So we've
Speaker 3: got the next We've got the next.
Speaker 6: Three Hitlers sorted out.
Speaker 3: So unless you're planning on being Hitler five, don't even bother.
Speaker 3: We've already got him. Hanson argued that right wing anti
Speaker 3: Semitism manifests itself in the form of America firsters, who
Speaker 3: fought both America passed in president and much of Trump's
Speaker 3: America First movement.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, if you don't put Israel first, you're anti submittic.
Speaker 4: It's simply that.
Speaker 3: And of course you have people like Nick Quentis who
Speaker 3: make these absurd, inflammatory statements. I'm gonna be Hitler two,
Speaker 3: three and four, he says, as he wants to be
Speaker 3: taken seriously, as he is one of the main voices
Speaker 3: that criticize Israel, who point out Apax control, and he
Speaker 3: links this directly to that kind of ridiculous absurdism, that insanity.
Speaker 3: Hanson is a longtime supporter President Donald Trump, who Carlson
Speaker 3: turned too often during his days at Fox. Well, isn't
Speaker 3: that wonderful. We're going to take a quick break and
Speaker 3: then when we come back, I think we're going to
Speaker 3: look at what's going on with Cash Patel. As I said,
Speaker 3: he is in hot water. People are not happy and
Speaker 3: there's good reason for that. But we'll talk about that
Speaker 3: when we come back. So stay with us and we
Speaker 3: will be right back.
Speaker 2: Jordan. Listening to The David Night Show.
Speaker 9: Here newsnow at apsradionews dot com or get the APS
Speaker 9: Radio app and never miss another story.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, folks, Thank you for joining us here on
Speaker 3: this wonderful Thursday. I see we have Jason Barker in chat.
Speaker 4: Good to see Jason.
Speaker 3: Hope you're doing well. Yes, David is sick today. I
Speaker 3: am filling in. It's nothing serious. He's just feeling under
Speaker 3: the weather. So you've got me for the next twenty
Speaker 3: five minutes, and then we will be turning it over
Speaker 3: to a rebroadcast, because who can do the David Knight
Speaker 3: Show better than David Knight.
Speaker 5: That's the real question, not just to read broadcast, but
Speaker 5: a best of it is.
Speaker 3: Right, best of interviews and a segment. But as I said,
Speaker 3: we're gonna.
Speaker 5: Look at what's going on with Sorry to interrupt, but
Speaker 5: on the topic of David Knight, he sent me a
Speaker 5: comment saying Trump isn't a populist, He's a globalist who's
Speaker 5: just like the Democrats in that debate. We played the
Speaker 5: debate of the Democrat New York mayoral candidates, and they're
Speaker 5: all talking about how much they support Israel, Ukraine, et cetera.
Speaker 5: And these are all Trump's positions. See, he's jetting around
Speaker 5: the world while the people can't even jet across the
Speaker 5: country because he doesn't care.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we uh, none of our politicians care about us,
Speaker 3: and at this point their disinterest is a large part
Speaker 3: of what keeps things running the things.
Speaker 5: He also says, Victor David Hanson is a historian who's
Speaker 5: loved by conservatives, yet he supported Trump in spite of
Speaker 5: what happened in twenty twenty. Why would anyone care about
Speaker 5: what a quote historian thanks who doesn't even know what
Speaker 5: happened in his own time and can't understand the time
Speaker 5: that he lived through.
Speaker 3: See this is why anytime you read history, you need
Speaker 3: to question what the book is telling you. Given how
Speaker 3: biased and uninformed and stupid most of the current news
Speaker 3: is and the current historians are, and the books that
Speaker 3: they write are, you have to wonder has it always
Speaker 3: been like this? Has every historical work been written by
Speaker 3: some scumbag hack with an agenda to push How much
Speaker 3: of this is simply fabrication to make somebody of the
Speaker 3: time look good.
Speaker 5: There's always revisionists. You just have to look at everything
Speaker 5: with a critical eye and compare it to other sources,
Speaker 5: especially sources from the time.
Speaker 3: Unless I'm telling you it, then you can believe it uncritically.
Speaker 3: Just accept it and move along. Please don't do that.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I worry that people are gonna take me serious.
Speaker 3: I like to be sarcastic. I like to be unseerious,
Speaker 3: and worry people are going to take it seriously and
Speaker 3: think I actually mean it. Let's look at what's going
Speaker 3: on with Cash Battel. As I said, he's in hot
Speaker 3: water and he's not used to that. Cash Betel wouldn't
Speaker 3: be the first FBI boss to go down by turning
Speaker 3: his official plane into a private jet. We've got precedent
Speaker 3: for it. It's already happened, and some people are now wondering, well,
Speaker 3: why hasn't happened? Why hasn't happened to Cash Battel. In
Speaker 3: the early nineteen nineties, veteran and mistigative reporter Ronald Kessler
Speaker 3: cut an unusual deal with the FBI, one that was
Speaker 3: blessed at the very top by its then director William Sessions.
Speaker 3: Kessler would be given on beettered access to the J.
Speaker 3: Edgar Hoover Building for a planned book that would provide
Speaker 3: an exclusive, behind the scenes look at how the FBI
Speaker 3: really operates. Isn't that fun? Isn't that nifty? And the
Speaker 3: course of his reporting, Kessler told me this week he
Speaker 3: was shocked to learn, thanks to tips from agents on
Speaker 3: Sessions on security detail about alleged ethical abuses by the
Speaker 3: director himself. On multiple occasion, Sessions, a former federal judge,
Speaker 3: had used an FBI jet for personal trips, including Johnston,
Speaker 3: San Francisco to see his daughter and flying with his
Speaker 3: wife to Atlantic City to attend a performance of the
Speaker 3: Bolshoy Ballet at the Sands Hotel at Casino. Oh, you know,
Speaker 3: at least I suppose he's higher class than Cash Battel
Speaker 3: flying his girlfriend to a wrestling event. He's at least
Speaker 3: going to the ballet. The theta the theta. What a
Speaker 3: man of taste, how refined, which comped him the tickets.
Speaker 3: So the casino even comps him the tickets. I guess
Speaker 3: that's something. Sure, he's not using the American money to
Speaker 3: buy Bolshoy Ballet tickets. They're simply being given to him
Speaker 3: because of who he is, because of his position. Kessler's
Speaker 3: discoveries produced an uproar. There was a simpler time. People
Speaker 3: actually cared more.
Speaker 2: When he wrote a.
Speaker 3: Letter to the FBI seeing comment for his book, The
Speaker 3: Public Affairs off As dutifully turned it over to the
Speaker 3: Justice Department Inspector General for review. Months later, after an
Speaker 3: IG report documented sessions misuse of the FBI jet and
Speaker 3: other questionable actions, including the installation of a security fence
Speaker 3: around his home, the director got a call from President
Speaker 3: Bill Clinton telling him he was fired, picking the first
Speaker 3: FBI chief ever to be Cashiered. I'm sure Bill Clinton
Speaker 3: told him, I feel your pain. Now I'm doing stuff
Speaker 3: they wouldn't like either. I just didn't get caught Trump
Speaker 3: Trump's handpicked director Cash Bettel forty five, last week used
Speaker 3: an FBI jet to fly to State College in Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: to attend a wrestling match where his girlfriend, country singer
Speaker 3: Alexis Wilkins twenty six, was singing the national anthem. That's
Speaker 3: a good use of time and money, isn't it. Our
Speaker 3: FBI director has nothing better to do than to use
Speaker 3: the private FBI jet to fly up to spend time
Speaker 3: with his girlfriend who's basically half his age as she
Speaker 3: sings the national anthem at a wrestling event. Remember, I'm
Speaker 3: told it's alleged to me, it's been revealed in a
Speaker 3: dream that we were once a serious country. I've heard
Speaker 3: tell of it. People used to actually take their job seriously.
Speaker 3: There was some kind of pride in them. Not anymore.
Speaker 3: We've got cash Patel using his FBI jet to fly to.
Speaker 4: See his girlfriend. Well, you got to do that.
Speaker 3: How much money are these guys making and yet they're
Speaker 3: completely and utterly unwilling to pay for a plane flight. No, no, no,
Speaker 3: I'm going to take the FBI private jet. Sure pass
Speaker 3: that on to the taxpayer. That's their job. I'm a
Speaker 3: big deal. Wherever I want to go, I get to go,
Speaker 3: and it's the American people's duty to support that. They
Speaker 3: should feel honored that their tax dollars are going so
Speaker 3: that I can go visit my girlfriend. Patel fired the
Speaker 3: senior official in charge of planes, Stephen Palmer, a twenty
Speaker 3: seven year FBI veteran, when reports about the trip started
Speaker 3: to surface on social media.
Speaker 4: That's right, he threw a.
Speaker 3: Bit of a hissy fit. This is how'd this get out?
Speaker 3: Did you leak it?
Speaker 2: You leak that I was.
Speaker 3: Using the FBI's private plane to go visit my girlfriend.
Speaker 3: Well you're fired. You might actually care about your job.
Speaker 3: Nor was this the first time that Betel's use of
Speaker 3: FBI aircraft has been questioned. In April, Pattel, an avid
Speaker 3: hockey fan, used an FBI seven to fifty seven jet,
Speaker 3: to fly to New York to attend an NHL game,
Speaker 3: where he watched Washington Capitol star Alex Ovechkin break the
Speaker 3: league's all time scoring record. Good for him, I guess,
Speaker 3: congratulations Alex Ovechkin.
Speaker 4: I hope you know means something to you.
Speaker 3: Then in August, Battel and four or five of his
Speaker 3: friends hopped aboard an FBI jet to fly to Scotland
Speaker 3: for a golfing trip. Isn't that wonderful for him? Just
Speaker 3: getting to hop in the FBI jet. You know what
Speaker 3: I feel like going to Scotland for golf. Wouldn't that
Speaker 3: be fun?
Speaker 5: Lifestyles of the rich and corrupt?
Speaker 4: Exactly just.
Speaker 3: How disconnected this man is from the average American. Just oh,
Speaker 3: I think I want to play golf, but not just
Speaker 3: regular golf. How about we go where it was invented.
Speaker 3: This is like getting a craving for pizza and instead
Speaker 3: of going to your local restaurant, you decide you're gonna
Speaker 3: fly to Italy. I better not give him any ideas
Speaker 3: this may this may happen. In August, Pattel and four
Speaker 3: or five of his friends hop to board an FBI
Speaker 3: jet to fly to Scotland for a golfing trip. According
Speaker 3: to Chris O'Leary, a former senior FBI Counter terrorm counter
Speaker 3: terrorism official has been tracking the use of the bureau's
Speaker 3: aircraft inside the bureau, there is across the board outrage
Speaker 3: over Ptel's use of FBI aircraft.
Speaker 4: For fun and pleasure. Ceo leary.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it's theft of government resources.
Speaker 3: I mean, people have been thrown out of the Bureau
Speaker 3: for this, and he's speaking literally.
Speaker 5: Do you have any idea how much fuel these jets consume.
Speaker 5: It is gallons upon gallons, like in one minute, they'll
Speaker 5: go through several games.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: It is quite expensive to fly these things around. These
Speaker 3: are not regular planes either. They are generally outfitted with
Speaker 3: all kinds of different things, and they are more expensive
Speaker 3: to fly because of it. They take more fuel, they're heavier,
Speaker 3: even more striking. However, are the parallels with sessions misuse
Speaker 3: of the FBI aircraft. And as I was pointing out,
Speaker 3: he's not speaking at for, he's not speaking in generality,
Speaker 3: he's not speaking in you know. Oh well, something like
Speaker 3: this has happened, something almost identical has happened. There's precedent,
Speaker 3: someone was already fired for it. So why isn't cash
Speaker 3: Btel being fired? Could it be because Donald Trump prioritizes
Speaker 3: loyalty to himself over loyalty to the Constitution, over ability
Speaker 3: and willingness to uphold the law. Could it be that
Speaker 3: Donald Trump simply cares that Cash Betel is a dutiful
Speaker 3: little toady that does what he's told.
Speaker 5: It's a measure of the corruption. Last time this exact
Speaker 5: thing happened, the FBI director was fired. This time, the
Speaker 5: guy that exposed it was fired.
Speaker 3: Let's remember it was Bill Clinton that fired that FBI director.
Speaker 3: It's as I've said before and will not elaborate on.
Speaker 3: Bill Clinton was the last Republican president. There won't be
Speaker 3: another one, and I will not be taking questions. There's
Speaker 3: more than parallels between Patel's and sessions travels. Gerson told
Speaker 3: me it's congruency. It's the same thing under normal circumstances.
Speaker 3: The IG Inspector General should investigate this. It looks like
Speaker 3: on its face, like an emolument spy talk. I've got
Speaker 3: to take a brief aside. I know I take too
Speaker 3: many rabbits, I go down too many rabbit holes. But
Speaker 3: spy talk just the idea that there's a magazine for
Speaker 3: spies or a newspaper for them where they put all
Speaker 3: their little spy details.
Speaker 6: Do you think there's some this sub stack.
Speaker 2: Uh? Yes.
Speaker 5: But just.
Speaker 3: Reached out to the FBI Public Affairs Office with a
Speaker 3: series of questions, including how often Betel has used FBI
Speaker 3: aircraft for personal purposes, whether his trips were approved by
Speaker 3: any FBI lawyer or ethics official, and how much Patel
Speaker 3: has compensated the Bureau for his trips. The office responded
Speaker 3: with a terse email saying that due to the government shutdown,
Speaker 3: FBI operations are directed toward national security with Patel's chief spokesman,
Speaker 3: Ben Williamson, posted on ex that Bettel, like all directors,
Speaker 3: has required to use FBI aircraft for all travel because
Speaker 3: of security issues, and for personal travel, director pays a
Speaker 3: reimbursement in advance, strictly following OMB rules. He did, not, however,
Speaker 3: specify which trips and how many times Pateel's compensated the
Speaker 3: government for his trips to see his girlfriend, watch a
Speaker 3: hockey game, go golfing, or for other personal purposes. He
Speaker 3: also spends a lot of time at a second home
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas, according to reports, so he's all over
Speaker 3: the place. They're still not sure how many trips he's taken.
Speaker 3: It seems like, well, you know, he's gotta fly. He
Speaker 3: works far more full weekends than he does otherwise, and
Speaker 3: maybe most importantly ask anyone who works for him, he's
Speaker 3: on duty twenty four to seven. I'm really curious as
Speaker 3: to what the director of the FBI actually does. He's
Speaker 3: not out there with a magnifying glass hunting down clues.
Speaker 3: He's not Sherlock holmesing it. Obviously, he's more of a
Speaker 3: policy sort of guy. He's more about what kind of
Speaker 3: personnel they hire. What does the FBI director do on
Speaker 3: a daily basis? What is Cash Petel devoting all of
Speaker 3: his time to? Isn't that's something I'd be interested in knowing.
Speaker 3: I imagine he's more of a bureaucrat than anything else.
Speaker 3: I imagine he doesn't do all that much at all. Actually,
Speaker 3: probably fires off an email every now and then. There's
Speaker 3: zero time for people who pedal trash because they have
Speaker 3: nothing better to do, or even better, because the Russian
Speaker 3: collusion hoax they spent years writing about failed.
Speaker 4: In their end goal. Real shame. That's right.
Speaker 3: This is all because of Democrats. This is all Democrats
Speaker 3: trying to smear our good little boy, Cash Pattel.
Speaker 4: He would never do anything bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what does this have to do with the Russia hoax?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 9: You know, it's jenness.
Speaker 5: Is absurd to blame anytime one of the blame the
Speaker 5: media that's blaming Russia for everything, it's unrelated.
Speaker 3: It seems like anytime one of the Trump crew gets
Speaker 3: in trouble, they trot out the fact. Hey, look, remember
Speaker 3: they tried to smear him with this Russian host thing,
Speaker 3: hoax thing. They made up a whole bunch of stuff.
Speaker 3: You can't believe. You can't trust them. Remember, remember this,
Speaker 3: this was absurd to try to make you tie it
Speaker 3: into that and go okay, So there's nothing to see
Speaker 3: here either.
Speaker 4: Then I guess yeah.
Speaker 5: So I was saying, it's the inoculation of Trump by
Speaker 5: the media with all of their constant going over the
Speaker 5: top for years, and now he's immune to criticism.
Speaker 3: M But Patel himself also responded mainly by praising his girlfriend,
Speaker 3: the country singer. You know, that's a bit of an obfuscation.
Speaker 3: I assume I'm not going to address anything. What if
Speaker 3: I were to simply just talk about how much I.
Speaker 2: Love my girlfriend?
Speaker 3: Heye, corruption love me girlfriend, simple ads. But tell himself
Speaker 3: also respond to mainly praising his girlfriend, the country singer.
Speaker 3: The disgustingly baseless attacks against alexis a true patriot and
Speaker 3: the woman I'm proud to call my partner in life
Speaker 3: are beyond pathetic, he wrote on x She is a
Speaker 3: rock sold He probably means solid, but it says sold
Speaker 3: here conservative and a country music sensation who has done
Speaker 3: more for this national He means nation, then most will
Speaker 3: in ten lifetimes.
Speaker 4: I'm so blessed in my life.
Speaker 3: Attacking her isn't just wrong, it's cowardly and jeopardizes our safety.
Speaker 5: Wow, the spin that he's putting on this, they asking
Speaker 5: if you're asking him, if you're asking about what I'm
Speaker 5: doing with the FBI jet, you're attacking my girlfriend.
Speaker 3: You're attacking my girlfriend and making her unsafe. How do
Speaker 3: you feel about that, big man? You feel big attacking
Speaker 3: a woman?
Speaker 9: Please?
Speaker 3: Please don't fire me for corruption. That's what Cash Pattel
Speaker 3: is doing. He's obvious skating, He's changing what this is about.
Speaker 3: This is not about his girlfriend, who I'm sure is
Speaker 3: probably a nice lady. I'm sure she's fine. I don't
Speaker 3: care to listen to any of her music, and I
Speaker 3: hope she lives a great life. I hope she's safe
Speaker 3: and sound. But I do, however, think Cash Pattel should
Speaker 3: be fired for misuse of FBI property.
Speaker 4: It's that simple.
Speaker 3: In fact, none of the main media stories about Pattel's
Speaker 3: trip to watch his girlfriend singing the national anthem singing
Speaker 3: the national anthem in State College included personal attacks on her.
Speaker 3: This is again, this is just changing the narrative. This
Speaker 3: isn't about me and my misuse of FBI property. This
Speaker 3: isn't about me taking trips to Scotland to play golf.
Speaker 3: This is about them hating my girlfriend. They hate her
Speaker 3: because she's such a patriot, folks, She's such a patriot.
Speaker 3: The left wing media are trying to discredit her by
Speaker 3: saying I use the private jet to go golfing in Scotland.
Speaker 3: That's how devious these people are. It's a real roundabout attack.
Speaker 3: But you're not gonna fall for it, because I'm gonna
Speaker 3: tell you.
Speaker 5: You're misusing the private chet. Wow, these people are coming
Speaker 5: after my girlfriend with the Russia hoax.
Speaker 3: This is truly an insane workaround. Cash Bettel truly does
Speaker 3: it up to his nickname that I've seen people call him,
Speaker 3: Crooked Cash. There is nothing that I've seen from this
Speaker 3: man that is even remotely honest.
Speaker 2: They're parallel.
Speaker 5: By the way, this is actually a spytalk magazine. It
Speaker 5: just looks exactly like a substax.
Speaker 2: It was one.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, is like it just the idea.
Speaker 3: They've got their own little spy talk where they send
Speaker 3: in letters to the editor, Dear Abby, this week I
Speaker 3: toppled a third world regime for their resources. Many people died,
Speaker 3: much lithium was secured.
Speaker 4: You're welcome.
Speaker 3: Another parallel between Patel and his long ago predecessor, long
Speaker 3: ago Bill Clinton was apparently long ago, back in the
Speaker 3: ether the reaches of time, we all grow old. When
Speaker 3: Kessler finally confronted Sessions about his findings, he got a
Speaker 3: half hour tongue lashing from the director. Sessions told a
Speaker 3: reporter he was offended and disappointed that he had delved
Speaker 3: into personal matters rather than the great work the FAA.
Speaker 4: I was doing great work.
Speaker 3: The FBI was doing on what you.
Speaker 5: Guys, personal matters like your corruption.
Speaker 3: I'm also curious what are they working on. Have they
Speaker 3: given us any new facts about the Charlie Kirk shooting anything?
Speaker 3: How about Epstein, Yeah, Epstein, Kirk lost Fai Vegas shooting,
Speaker 3: Really any high profile crime they've been involved in investigating.
Speaker 6: Over the last.
Speaker 3: Well forever, as far as I'm concerned, my entire lifetime,
Speaker 3: have they actually given us anything. When was the last
Speaker 3: time the FBI came out with something and said we've
Speaker 3: solved it, and you were confident you.
Speaker 4: Could believe them. We have a black screen there we go.
Speaker 5: It was just studio mode.
Speaker 3: Sessions told the reporter he was offended and disappointed that
Speaker 3: he had delved into personal matters rather than the great
Speaker 3: work the FBI was doing, and then launched into a
Speaker 3: vigorous defense of his wife, who had taken on many
Speaker 3: of his trips aboard the FBI jet, who he set
Speaker 3: occupied a special and important place in the bureau. I
Speaker 3: love my wife more than anything. I think she is beautiful, amazing, talented, smart, funny.
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't if I was the FBI director, assume
Speaker 3: that she holds a special place for all the FBI
Speaker 3: agents well as the director. She is my wife, and
Speaker 3: therefore she's like a mom to these guys. I think
Speaker 3: perhaps she was yeah, just yeah. I don't think you
Speaker 3: immediately become a special individual because you're married to the
Speaker 3: FBI director. You're not immediately inducted into their halls and
Speaker 3: made one of their own. That Patel too would respond
Speaker 3: with the defense of his girlfriend, was telling Kessler said,
Speaker 3: that's right. As the FBI director, if you get criticized,
Speaker 3: if you have a woman in your life, you must immediately.
Speaker 4: Claim they're attacking her.
Speaker 3: I can't believe these people are attacking my wife, my girlfriend,
Speaker 3: the country singer, the solid conservative that Patel would respond
Speaker 3: with the defense of his wife is telling. He goes
Speaker 3: on about what a wonderful person she is, he said,
Speaker 3: the show of total blindness to the ethical issues involved.
Speaker 3: He's not blind, he's just trying to deflect. No no, no,
Speaker 3: no ethical no ethical violations to see here. Have you
Speaker 3: considered my country singing, patriotic American girlfriend. Yes, Cash, we're
Speaker 3: very happy for you. Please answer the question. Well, that's
Speaker 3: what's going on to Cash Betel. We're gonna see how
Speaker 3: it plays out. I'm personally not expecting anything. He's a
Speaker 3: good little toady to Donald Trump. He really does whatever
Speaker 3: Trump says, and he does it without question. So I'm
Speaker 3: assuming everything will be fine for him. But let's let's
Speaker 3: move on. We've only got a little bit of time
Speaker 3: left before I turn it over to the best of
Speaker 3: Sandwich thrown by a protester exploded and left mustard stain
Speaker 3: on border agent court heres, that's right.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: An improvised I don't know at a bold device, I
Speaker 3: guess ied still works. A US immigration agent has testified
Speaker 3: he could feel through his holistic best the impact of
Speaker 3: a sandwich hurled at him by Washing DC protester who has.
Speaker 4: Gone on trial for assault.
Speaker 3: Not pay me enough money to be this guy, to
Speaker 3: show it and be like the sandwich, will we hook
Speaker 3: guys the sandwich hoot my fee wings and my body.
Speaker 3: Customs and Border Patrol agent greg Lar Layermore told the
Speaker 3: jury the snack exploded all over him. You can smell
Speaker 3: the onions in the mustard on his uniform. This poor man,
Speaker 3: no one has ever suffered like he has.
Speaker 5: The funny thing is, I'm playing the video. It's wrapped
Speaker 5: in paper and it doesn't appear to come unwrapped when
Speaker 5: he throws it.
Speaker 3: This video is truly one of the funniest things I
Speaker 3: have seen. This Just the way the guy runs away
Speaker 3: and they all chase after him. It is like a
Speaker 3: cartoon moment.
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess it just looking a little bit
Speaker 5: on one end, but for the most part stays together.
Speaker 3: Who just whether the sandwich is intact or not. You like,
Speaker 3: you can't see any mustard on the guy's vest whatever,
Speaker 3: But just look at the way this man is running.
Speaker 3: He is obviously drunk. He is just it is almost
Speaker 3: it is cartoon esque. It is absurdist.
Speaker 2: We have.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if I have the words, what,
Speaker 3: how would you describe that? It's something? It's truly something.
Speaker 3: He could smell the onions and the mustard on his uniform.
Speaker 3: He could smell them.
Speaker 5: The improvised edible device.
Speaker 3: Neither side disputes that Sean Dunn, thirty seven, did, in
Speaker 3: fact lab obscenities and a Deli style sandwich at officers
Speaker 3: deployed by President Donald Trump to patrol the nation's capital
Speaker 3: in August, but mister Dunn's lawyer argues.
Speaker 4: It was not a criminal act.
Speaker 2: What is the charge.
Speaker 3: Assaulting an officer with a meal? A succulent sandwich meal.
Speaker 3: The incident was captured on video and went viral, making
Speaker 3: mister Dunn a symbol of opposition.
Speaker 4: In Washington, DC to Trump.
Speaker 6: Government.
Speaker 3: Prosecutors initially tried to secure fellows against mister Dunn, but
Speaker 3: a grand jury declined to indict him.
Speaker 4: This is the level of absurdity where you are at.
Speaker 5: They need to specify. This was a club sandwich, far
Speaker 5: more dangerous.
Speaker 3: Cav It has to be taken seriously. This was a threat.
Speaker 3: What if he had a wheat allergy? You don't know,
Speaker 3: he could be gluten intolerant. And you just throw a
Speaker 3: sandwich at that man. That's obviously a life threatening scenario.
Speaker 3: We can't have that, and as such it's a felony charge.
Speaker 4: But they said no.
Speaker 3: The grand jury said, ah, I don't think so. According
Speaker 3: to the charging documents, mister Dunn approached a group of
Speaker 3: opsers at about twenty three hundred on the tenth of August,
Speaker 3: calling them fascists and shouting why are you here? I
Speaker 3: don't want you in my city. What a waste of
Speaker 3: a sandwich? Though I would never, I would never. The
Speaker 3: court witnessed a reenactment from mister Larairmore on Tuesday as
Speaker 3: he took to this to testify against mister Dunn. That's right,
Speaker 3: we're going to reenact the sandwich throwing debacle. You're going
Speaker 3: to have to did they get him another HOGI? Did
Speaker 3: he actually get to throw it at somebody else? Mister Dunn,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna need you to throw the sand which in
Speaker 3: the exact same manner you did. Please the bailiff will
Speaker 3: play the part. Hit him as hard as you feel necessary.
Speaker 3: Mister Dun's lawyer, Julia Gato, sent her opening statement that
Speaker 3: hurling the sandwich was a harmless gesture that did not
Speaker 3: and could not cause injury.
Speaker 4: No matter who you are, you.
Speaker 3: Can't just go around throwing stuff at people because you're mad,
Speaker 3: mister Parrons.
Speaker 4: Said, quit New York Times again.
Speaker 3: I'm not arguing that he should have thrown the sandwich
Speaker 3: at the guy. I'm simply arguing that it's not harmful.
Speaker 3: It didn't do anything. You don't get hit by a
Speaker 3: sandwich and die, unless it's maybe one of those old
Speaker 3: subway six foot subs. Maybe then, who knows, but this,
Speaker 3: you would have had to drag me into court. If
Speaker 3: I was the guy that got hit with the sandwich,
Speaker 3: you would have had to have the KGB work me
Speaker 3: over in a black site before I would agree to
Speaker 3: testify against somebody because he hit me with the sandwich
Speaker 3: and we we hurt. I would die first.
Speaker 6: I would never like, No, that didn't hurt. No, it's
Speaker 6: not salt.
Speaker 3: What you think that would hurt me?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: Come on, I would die before admitting the sandwich hurt me,
Speaker 3: and I need compensation for it. This man is a criminal.
Speaker 3: He broke my body. I am bruised and battered.
Speaker 5: They're coming after him for a salt and pepper.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, folks, it has been fun. I hope
Speaker 3: I wasn't too flippant. David will be back soon, probably Monday,
Speaker 3: given how he's feeling. But I will be here tomorrow
Speaker 3: to cover the news and then give you more best
Speaker 3: of David Knight. Really do appreciate you, guys. We thank
Speaker 3: you all for tuning in. Here is the best of
Speaker 3: David Knight, and I will see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Joy listening to the David Night Show.
Speaker 10: All right, welcome back. And joining us now is Anthony Freda.
Speaker 10: He's got a new book that's coming out. We're going
Speaker 10: to talk to him about that, The Thought Crimes of
Speaker 10: Anthony Freda, and he's got he's been very successful as
Speaker 10: an artist, and he's his art is full of very
Speaker 10: important critiques of the of what we see politically. He's
Speaker 10: actually had in his art put on display at the
Speaker 10: nine to eleven Museum and Memorial in New York City,
Speaker 10: and he's on the same page as we are, I
Speaker 10: think about nine to eleven. His tenure tenure with Info
Speaker 10: Wars as an illustrator and writer fully cemented his his
Speaker 10: place in the world of controversial alternate news. And he's
Speaker 10: been very vocal about his role in that space, and
Speaker 10: so that's where I got to know Anthony, as well
Speaker 10: as his work with Cheryl Slinty and Trend's Journal. So
Speaker 10: thank you for joining us, Anthony. Good to see you again.
Speaker 7: Great to see David, and thanks for having me beautiful set.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I always wanted to talk to you about your
Speaker 10: background here, and there's a whole other aspect of your
Speaker 10: background that I wasn't aware of now that you're getting
Speaker 10: into Christian art and you've got a project with that
Speaker 10: as well, and to go fundme to help realize that project.
Speaker 10: But let's talk about your personal journey here. You began
Speaker 10: doing copy stuff for the advertising industry and you began
Speaker 10: helping them to sell Joe Campbell. Talk a little bit
Speaker 10: about that and how you got from there to where
Speaker 10: you are now.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's quite a journey. I've been doing it
Speaker 7: for forty years. I'll give you the contensed version. But yeah,
Speaker 7: I got out of art. I had this dream of
Speaker 7: becoming this, you know, famous, prosperous, thriving artists, and I
Speaker 7: just wasn't prepared. I mean I went to Pradut four
Speaker 7: years of training in art and painting and drawing, and
Speaker 7: I was pretty proficient and I was, you know, pretty confident,
Speaker 7: but they really didn't train you how to make a
Speaker 7: living as an artist. So I sort of figured that
Speaker 7: out of my own my own now I have to
Speaker 7: make a living doing this. So crossing that threshold from
Speaker 7: academy into the professional world for any artist is a
Speaker 7: is a scary time. I mean, I teach seniors now
Speaker 7: at f I T and that's my way of giving
Speaker 7: back because I know how scared they are, so I
Speaker 7: try to sort of pivot that.
Speaker 10: And I think it's a scarier time right now than
Speaker 10: ever has been. I mean, we look at AI and
Speaker 10: a lot of people just content to throw a prompt
Speaker 10: at AI and take whatever it gives them.
Speaker 2: What do you think about that? How is that going
Speaker 2: to affect art?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 7: I think it's going to be not just artists going
Speaker 7: to I mean, I think it's designed to create a
Speaker 7: post human future where the robots do all the work
Speaker 7: and they work twenty four hours a day. And I
Speaker 7: mean the transhumanist you know, elevator pitch or Elevator to
Speaker 7: Hell pitch, is that the robots everything for us and
Speaker 7: we have the freedom to do whatever we want and
Speaker 7: they'll give us a basic unit of income. I don't
Speaker 7: think it's going to work out that way, but that's
Speaker 7: their utopian, post human transhumanist future.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I had my class yesterday. The kids were crying. They
Speaker 7: were literally crying because they just went to school for
Speaker 7: four years to learn how to be an artist and
Speaker 7: now anyone who has an AI program can do what
Speaker 7: they do. So it's very demoralizing to the creatives. But
Speaker 7: I mean the same thing goes for the guys who
Speaker 7: remember they say to learn the code, like not anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're putting themselves out of a job, that's right.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 10: The other part of it is, though, and I think
Speaker 10: we'll to this when we get to where you are
Speaker 10: right now, the machine has no soul. It's going to
Speaker 10: put things together statistically, and it can copy and paste
Speaker 10: and throw things against the wall. And in a sense,
Speaker 10: it's a sophisticated version of a chimpanzee painting, right, And
Speaker 10: so there is still going to be a niche there,
Speaker 10: I think for the human soul communicating truth and beauty.
Speaker 10: I think that's really the issue there and that's what
Speaker 10: we have to focus on. And I think that that's
Speaker 10: going to be pretty obvious to people. You know, there's
Speaker 10: a lot of things that AI can do, especially I
Speaker 10: think in the art aspect, because it can hallucinate and
Speaker 10: it looks like it's, you know, having a drug trip
Speaker 10: or whatever, and that can be useful in art or
Speaker 10: even in music to some degree. But when you look
Speaker 10: at the kind when I look at it for music,
Speaker 10: for example, the thing about AI is that you can't
Speaker 10: precisely get it to do what you want. You know,
Speaker 10: it can get like eighty percent there, eighty five percent there,
Speaker 10: which is not good enough for art. As many people
Speaker 10: have said, art has never finished. It is simply abandoned.
Speaker 2: At some point.
Speaker 10: You've got to stop tweaking it and just go do
Speaker 10: something different the next project or whatever. And I think
Speaker 10: that's the problem with AI. It just throws this stuff
Speaker 10: out there and people say, ah, that's good enough. I
Speaker 10: think there's going to be a qualitative difference that people
Speaker 10: will be able to tell that last fifteen or twenty
Speaker 10: percent that is there. Yes, I agree with you, Yeah,
Speaker 10: that's my hope we do.
Speaker 7: But I think you're right. Listen, our advantage moving forward
Speaker 7: is the robots don't laugh, they don't cry, they don't love,
Speaker 7: that's right. They're not connected to God. In fact, I
Speaker 7: think it's the opposite that you're right. I think I
Speaker 7: have this idea that just as a holy spirit is
Speaker 7: this unifying force and universal force of good and God,
Speaker 7: the adverse the into that yang is this unifying force
Speaker 7: of darkness which informs and which has basically a cauldron
Speaker 7: for this ai to be created. And we're incarnating it
Speaker 7: by giving it prompts and giving it life. But that
Speaker 7: spirit is a dark spirit, and I sense that, and
Speaker 7: I feel that it's an anti human spirit.
Speaker 2: But so Elon Musk agrees with you as well. He said,
Speaker 2: we're summoning the demon.
Speaker 10: Yeah, maybe we're to pay attention to what he's saying
Speaker 10: about that.
Speaker 7: Some of these guys who are atheists say, there's something
Speaker 7: here that mathematics doesn't you know, describe or defined. It's
Speaker 7: something beyond mathematics, So what's going on? They don't even know.
Speaker 7: The guys who created it don't even know how. You know,
Speaker 7: these systems arrive at the decisions that they make to
Speaker 7: certain points. It's called black box technology, right that they
Speaker 7: it's it's it's opaque, but robout to understand it. But
Speaker 7: they might not, but they understand us though. That's the problem,
Speaker 7: like we don't understand how how they do what they do,
Speaker 7: but they understand us. I mean, they have so much
Speaker 7: big data about humanity and what moves us and I
Speaker 7: influence us that it's a lopsided relationship.
Speaker 2: That's why it's such a.
Speaker 10: Good fit for the government, because the government knows everything
Speaker 10: about us. But the government itself is by design a
Speaker 10: black box that black boxes labeled national security.
Speaker 2: We can't tell you, we'd have to kill you, right.
Speaker 7: So exactly. Yeah, so man, I could talk about AI
Speaker 7: for hours.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, but let's go back to your story.
Speaker 10: You were you were doing, started working at an ad
Speaker 10: agency as you gun out trying to.
Speaker 7: Start working at it. Yeah, I was a young man,
Speaker 7: you know, young man. I listed it after money and woman,
Speaker 7: and I was in my twenties and I became very successful.
Speaker 7: We're working for Fortune five hundred companies and I I
Speaker 7: was in advertising about ten years and I started to
Speaker 7: learn and see all the psychological tricks of manipulations, you know,
Speaker 7: informed by the ideas of Edward Burnees and his he
Speaker 7: was the master of mass psychological manipulation, right, and that
Speaker 7: was employed. He was contracted by the government and by
Speaker 7: ad agencies it's a long story, but those ideas work
Speaker 7: because people respond positively a certain stimuli negatively to other stimuli.
Speaker 7: Like we're pretty predictable animals. And once you break that code,
Speaker 7: you're trying to sell something, and you're smart and clever,
Speaker 7: you can figure out a way to do it. But
Speaker 7: I got really turned off. I was working on the
Speaker 7: Joe Campbell ad campaign and in those days, they were,
Speaker 7: you know, paying us a lot of money to do
Speaker 7: this stuff, and I was just enamored with the money.
Speaker 7: And I bought a you know, condo in Manhattan, and
Speaker 7: I thought I was like living on top of the world.
Speaker 7: And then so I kind of got lost in that
Speaker 7: that world of money and success. And then the FTC
Speaker 7: determined that our campaign was illegal because we were using
Speaker 7: cartoon camels. They said we were marketing cigaretts to children.
Speaker 7: So I sort of had a moral crisis. And I
Speaker 7: didn't become an artist to sell cigarette to kids, right,
Speaker 7: And I said, you.
Speaker 10: Know, maybe gave a job professor, because they sell poison
Speaker 10: the kids all the time.
Speaker 7: That's what they're on in the story. Yeah, So I
Speaker 7: had this crisis. It's come to Jesus moment. I said,
Speaker 7: that's it. I'm done with advertising. I'm not going to
Speaker 7: sell my soul to the devil. So I was still
Speaker 7: you know, now, I'm a young man in my thirties.
Speaker 7: I was pretty naive politically at that time. And I said,
Speaker 7: I'm going to work for the good guys, right, I'm
Speaker 7: going to work for New York Times and then a Yorker,
Speaker 7: and I started working for, you know, all these mainstream
Speaker 7: publications as an editorial illustrator. And I worked for the
Speaker 7: outbed page New York Times, which is like a premier
Speaker 7: showcase for thinkers and for I kind of like where
Speaker 7: the elite speak to each other.
Speaker 2: Sure, and.
Speaker 7: And I was again, I was on top of the oil,
Speaker 7: and I'm working like, you know, the best place for
Speaker 7: an illustrated to be. And I was doing articles for
Speaker 7: them on a regular basis. And then I got to
Speaker 7: see how the sausage is made there, and the the
Speaker 7: art director and the editor told me that every single
Speaker 7: word that goes through here has to be vetted by
Speaker 7: the State Department. And I said, I said, I thought,
Speaker 7: you know, you're the fourth ward. You're I said, that's
Speaker 7: like proud. The word has to be the State Department.
Speaker 7: They said, that's that's how it is. So my naive
Speaker 7: ta started to you know, unravel. At that point, I
Speaker 7: started to become a little more educated about how the
Speaker 7: world really works. And I feel silly now saying that,
Speaker 7: but I thought the New York Times was this like
Speaker 7: beak the truth and objectivity. I mean, I couldn't be
Speaker 7: more wrong. But so I got an assignment to do.
Speaker 7: It was not that piece right before the Iraq War,
Speaker 7: penned by the then Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, and
Speaker 7: it was outlining all the lives that we know now
Speaker 7: that took us.
Speaker 2: To that war.
Speaker 7: And I illustrate the piece. And then I had another
Speaker 7: moral crisis. This guy said to myself, My god, I
Speaker 7: went from selling cigarettes to kids to selling war. This
Speaker 7: is first. I didn't think I could do worse than that,
Speaker 7: but I did. So I had another, you know, time
Speaker 7: to question what am I doing with my life? What
Speaker 7: are my life choices? What do I really what do
Speaker 7: I really want to do with my skills and my
Speaker 7: my whatever gift Guy's given me and my passions, And
Speaker 7: I mean, I love to create imageries. It's the only
Speaker 7: thing I'm good at. So I wanted to stay in
Speaker 7: that lane. So right then, it was about the time
Speaker 7: that these seminal alternative news sides started coming out, like
Speaker 7: info Wars, and there was a few others and trans
Speaker 7: journal and I reached out to them, and because I figured,
Speaker 7: these guys are exposing the lives of the mainstream media
Speaker 7: that I used to work for and of the advertising
Speaker 7: agencies I used to work for. So I wanted to
Speaker 7: bite the hand that fed me. So I started. I
Speaker 7: started working for people and the health freedom movement and
Speaker 7: people and the liberty movement and people and all these
Speaker 7: different movements, you know, people like you included.
Speaker 8: And.
Speaker 7: I've been there ever since because I do think there
Speaker 7: are there are good people out there who are trying
Speaker 7: to get to the truth of the matter about all
Speaker 7: these issues, and journalists and activists and filmmakers and writers,
Speaker 7: and I worked for a lot of them and they're
Speaker 7: my heroes. So and then politically I got I was
Speaker 7: on the contract for the RFK campaign when he was
Speaker 7: running for president because I believed in what he was doing,
Speaker 7: his his work to expose vaccines and the dangers of pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 2: Right, so.
Speaker 7: I still have a hand in the political realm, but
Speaker 7: I'm basically working for people who I think are the
Speaker 7: good guys. You know that I can sleep well at
Speaker 7: night now, David, because I think I'm working for people,
Speaker 7: or at least trying to tell all the truth. You know,
Speaker 7: it's like it's not equivalent like when like when people
Speaker 7: get fined for like the way they went after Alex
Speaker 7: for whatever he said, Like the New York Times and
Speaker 7: CNN tell lies of much greater magnitude every day, and
Speaker 7: they nobody sued. And and by the way, their lies
Speaker 7: lead to wars that kill millions of people. There sell
Speaker 7: products that kill millions of people, like and they're never
Speaker 7: held accounnibal and then and they're not The difference between
Speaker 7: them and say what independent journalists who is that they're
Speaker 7: purposely trying to lie to you. They know they're lying
Speaker 7: to you. You know, it's one thing to make a
Speaker 7: mistake in the in the you know, the search for
Speaker 7: the truth. We're not always going to be perfect. But
Speaker 7: there's a big difference to somebody who's purposely knowing to
Speaker 7: lie to you, to hurt you and your children, then
Speaker 7: somebody who's just trying to figure out real time what
Speaker 7: the hell's going on. Because it's very confusing. We've been
Speaker 7: lyed to so much about so about everything that people
Speaker 7: become so skeptical that, you know, I think it unfortunately,
Speaker 7: it fosters this environment where nobody believes anything, and that's
Speaker 7: who we're at now. Nobody believes anything, so they come
Speaker 7: up with one hundred different theories of how Charlie Kirk
Speaker 7: was killed, right, because nobody believes the official story, and
Speaker 7: we can never get to the bottom anything because everybody
Speaker 7: has their own theory about what happened, and there's no
Speaker 7: universal truth anymore. We're in the post truth age, and
Speaker 7: I think that's the truth is going to be the greatest,
Speaker 7: most valuable commodity in the future.
Speaker 2: I mean, here's what you need. Here's the fundamental truth.
Speaker 10: Government lies, it always has, always will for its own interest.
Speaker 10: So if you understand that kind of whatever the government
Speaker 10: says or the official press says, with a healthy dose
Speaker 10: of skepticism, I think that's the most important thing. You know,
Speaker 10: you mentioned the fact that you realize that they had
Speaker 10: to get the approval of the State Department for what
Speaker 10: they were saying at the New York Times, and of
Speaker 10: course we know about Operation mocking Bird and the.
Speaker 2: Rest of this stuff.
Speaker 10: I thought it was really amazing, the disingenuous astonishment of
Speaker 10: the fact that Hegseth openly said, well, you're going to
Speaker 10: have to get approval for anything that you release. I
Speaker 10: don't like that, But that's not anything that's really different.
Speaker 10: The only thing that's different about that is that they're
Speaker 10: going to own it and say it out loud rather
Speaker 10: than doing it behind closed doors. I had a friend
Speaker 10: who worked at the Pentagon, and he worked for the
Speaker 10: side that was vetting movie scripts. If they liked your
Speaker 10: movie script, if it was complimentary of them and their agenda,
Speaker 10: they would give you access to military equipment that you
Speaker 10: could use to film your movie. If they didn't like it,
Speaker 10: you didn't get that equipment, and that might sink your
Speaker 10: movie because the expense of trying to get that equipment.
Speaker 10: Otherwise they provide it at a reduced cost or for free.
Speaker 10: So that kind of thing has been going along for
Speaker 10: a very long time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I'm still surprised. I remember, I'm older.
Speaker 7: I remember Frank Church, the Church Committee here. It's like
Speaker 7: he had the receipts, he proved it back in the
Speaker 7: seventies and nobody cared. It's like it did nothing. They
Speaker 7: just went back to business as usual.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, thank God for him and his work,
Speaker 7: but I mean, you really didn't do anything in the
Speaker 7: big picture.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And all the stuff about the heart attack gun.
Speaker 10: As I've said before, that was really a distraction because
Speaker 10: the whole thing began because from their inception, the CIA
Speaker 10: and the NSA were spying on Americans without a search warrant,
Speaker 10: which you know takes us. We've been finding that thing
Speaker 10: going up to you know, twenty twelve, twenty thirteen at Snowden,
Speaker 10: all the rest of the stuff. So the result of
Speaker 10: that was still the result of the Church Committee hearings,
Speaker 10: was the Faiza Act, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which
Speaker 10: they then used to give themselves legal cover to do
Speaker 10: what they'd been doing from their inception, which was to
Speaker 10: spy on Americans with a search warrant, as Ran Paul says,
Speaker 10: you know, spying on mister and missus Verizon. You know,
Speaker 10: you go to one judge and a secret court that
Speaker 10: nobody knows about, and you get legal cover to violate
Speaker 10: the Constitution. So they always turned this stuff to their
Speaker 10: own advantage.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, and I was speaking of that subject. I
Speaker 7: worked one of my heroes, William Benny and I had
Speaker 7: the pleasure of working on a documentary about William. I
Speaker 7: met him, just a great guy and he is. I mean,
Speaker 7: we quit because he said the system he desired to
Speaker 7: spy on potential terrorists with being used to spy on
Speaker 7: everybody and that's against the oath he took, and that's illegal,
Speaker 7: and he said he's not gonna do it. So what
Speaker 7: do they do? They FBI raided his house and arrested
Speaker 7: him under false pretenses and false charges. But yeah, so
Speaker 7: just get back to my journey. So done those track.
Speaker 7: After the RFK thing, I worked for him for a
Speaker 7: year and it was a great experience and I got
Speaker 7: to see just how dirty the Democrats are. I mean,
Speaker 7: Republicans basically left him alone. You know, Trump would make
Speaker 7: some you know, nasty comments now and then, but the
Speaker 7: Democrats actively tried to destroy him with lawsuits and moles
Speaker 7: and people doing dirty tricks. And it was a constant,
Speaker 7: relentless assault on him that really opened my eyes again.
Speaker 7: I mean I was naive again, like whenever I underestimate
Speaker 7: how evil these people are and how they are to
Speaker 7: be corrupt and to use the power they have or
Speaker 7: abuse any power they have in the courts, in the media,
Speaker 7: in academia, in tech, I mean, which which they control
Speaker 7: those institutions, unfortunately, and it just it sickened me. It
Speaker 7: sick of me, the way that they smeared him and
Speaker 7: lied about him and sued him and tried to play
Speaker 7: dirty tricks with ballots and just on and on and on.
Speaker 7: So so then I got that made me realize that
Speaker 7: the battle isn't political, This battle is spiritual. So I
Speaker 7: had I wanted to move from the temporal plane into
Speaker 7: the spiritual plane with my work and got back to
Speaker 7: my Christian roots. I was raised a Catholic, and I
Speaker 7: had a personal experience with my My fiance started having seizures.
Speaker 7: One night we were watching actually there was Obama movie.
Speaker 7: Uh it was like an apocalyptic Obama movie, Leave the
Speaker 7: Leave the World Behind, which have to be a foreboding
Speaker 7: title because my my girlfriends were watching this. She says,
Speaker 7: my heart hurts and I don't feel right. And I said,
Speaker 7: I said, maybe this anxiety from this Obama show is
Speaker 7: you know, screw Obama's not watched this as upsetting you.
Speaker 7: And then she just went into seizures and she was
Speaker 7: extreetly healthy. She was extremely There was nothing, no pre
Speaker 7: existing condition. She just started composting and seizing and just
Speaker 7: went thousand yards stare and stopped breathing. And I'm not
Speaker 7: a doctor, but I think breathing is pretty important. And
Speaker 7: I didn't know what to do with David. I felt
Speaker 7: so inadequate and helpless. I had no idea what to do.
Speaker 7: I should do chest compression, I didn't know. I didn't
Speaker 7: know what set to call nine one one, and and
Speaker 7: I just held her and she was in this in
Speaker 7: this state of like comotose state. I don't know she
Speaker 7: was dying. I thought she was dying. And then she
Speaker 7: came out of it from a for a brief moment
Speaker 7: with this from this look of just terror and fear
Speaker 7: to this this calm and this peace came over her
Speaker 7: and she started laughing.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 7: And I thought of was this all a joke? But
Speaker 7: she's not that, She's not that kind of person. And
Speaker 7: she and she was laughing, and her whole faces and
Speaker 7: the whole body was just relaxed, and she was at
Speaker 7: a place of peace. And then she clinched back and
Speaker 7: went back into this convulsive state. And I believe like
Speaker 7: she went to the other side I believe she was.
Speaker 7: She was at peace with God for for a brief period,
Speaker 7: and that it just wasn't her time, or she just
Speaker 7: got sent back, or I don't know obviously what happened,
Speaker 7: but it was.
Speaker 2: Do you have any recollection of that?
Speaker 7: No, no, of any of it. Your brain doesn't remember
Speaker 7: that stuff. I'd probably protect you. But it was extraordinary
Speaker 7: and it reawakened my faith. And that was a year
Speaker 7: and a half ago. And thank god she's healthy now.
Speaker 7: Seventy five percent of the people who go through when
Speaker 7: she went went through, it was a brain brain bleed.
Speaker 7: Seventy five percent of the people die that happens to
Speaker 7: so she was coma. She had a long convalescence, but
Speaker 7: thank god she's she's healthy now. Yes, And it brought
Speaker 7: both of us closer to God. And it made me
Speaker 7: want to dedicate my work to the Lord. And every
Speaker 7: piece I do now is a devotion to God. Every
Speaker 7: stroke of my pen is a meditation of prayer, and
Speaker 7: I want to lean into that as much as I
Speaker 7: possibly can.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 10: You know, before you came on, we were talking about
Speaker 10: what's going on in Canterbury Cathedral and that used to
Speaker 10: be the basis for why people would make these elaborate
Speaker 10: cathedrals was that of a devotion to God and wanting
Speaker 10: to honor him, and of course, depending on what gifts
Speaker 10: He has given us, we can all have different ways
Speaker 10: that we can do that. And you know, whatever your
Speaker 10: job is, you can always do it in a way
Speaker 10: that you try to honor God. And yet, what do
Speaker 10: you think about did you see that that story where
Speaker 10: they paid somebody to do graffiti on the interior walls
Speaker 10: of Canterbury Cathedral.
Speaker 2: Did you see that?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 7: To me, it's it's worse than graffiti, it's vandalism. But
Speaker 7: you know, it's like, it's so funny because these things
Speaker 7: that were created in the so called Dark Age, they
Speaker 7: couldn't make those today. It's because what you said, it's
Speaker 7: because they weren't doing it for the profit motive, right,
Speaker 7: They were doing it the profit motives, you know, spelled differently.
Speaker 7: And that's the only way humans can create something like that.
Speaker 7: Your heart and soul has to be in it. I mean,
Speaker 7: you go into those cathedrals and you feel the presence
Speaker 7: of God, you feel the presence of the highest achievement
Speaker 7: humanity is capable of. And they did it in the
Speaker 7: so called dark ages, like with none of the tools
Speaker 7: and the technology we have, Like it's it's astonishing, and
Speaker 7: it's just just the amount of time and human labor
Speaker 7: and life force and sacrifice and artistry and craftsmanship and
Speaker 7: skill that went into those things. Just that alone is
Speaker 7: enough to uplift your spirit. They're uplifting edifices and monuments
Speaker 7: and and today we have monuments like the nine to
Speaker 7: eleven Monument, which is a it's a black box, it's
Speaker 7: a whole, it's like a giant urinal. You go to
Speaker 7: it's the you know that black box memorial, and it's
Speaker 7: just like a spinning sucking hole to hell, no light excuse,
Speaker 7: and it's just there's nothing uplifting about it. So you
Speaker 7: want to jump in and kill yourself and be sucked
Speaker 7: into hell. So that's the feeling I get when I
Speaker 7: go there. And I think in some ways it's appropriate
Speaker 7: considering that we know what happened there. But it's just
Speaker 7: the answer to everything I think is just we had
Speaker 7: to try to live like saints. I mean, if everybody
Speaker 7: lived to the to the better angels, the whole world
Speaker 7: would overnight become a better place. Everybody's trying to fix
Speaker 7: go into all these marches and protests and all this nonsense.
Speaker 7: And it's like, fix yourself first.
Speaker 2: If you fix your.
Speaker 7: And you just just be a good person, that's it.
Speaker 7: Don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, don't hurt your neighbor.
Speaker 7: That alone, there'll be no more crime. Right, Why would
Speaker 7: there be a crime? Crime is based on him and
Speaker 7: doing something that he knows as spinful and knows is
Speaker 7: illegal and oas is wrong. So instead of trying to
Speaker 7: fix the world from the outside, you got to fix
Speaker 7: it inwardly, you know, get closer to God and understand
Speaker 7: that the infinite power and glory of God is not
Speaker 7: a separate thing from you. It's within you. That light
Speaker 7: is within you, and you just need to accept it
Speaker 7: and let that connection grow and become stronger with everything
Speaker 7: you do, and every good thing you do makes it stronger.
Speaker 7: You feel closer to God from every good thing you do,
Speaker 7: every good work you make and agree.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a very powerful sermon that they actually wound
Speaker 10: up doing as a lecturer as to what is wrong
Speaker 10: with our society. I think because when you look at
Speaker 10: the graffiti, not only did they go into a place
Speaker 10: that was beautiful and uplifting and they essentially tear it
Speaker 10: down with their ugly stuff that they put on it.
Speaker 10: And the most the ugliest thing about what they were
Speaker 10: putting on there with their graffiti was what it actually said.
Speaker 10: It was a rage against God and his creation, every
Speaker 10: bit of it. And that's really kind of shows us
Speaker 10: where our society is. So the Church of England is
Speaker 10: still setting the foundation for England, it's just setting a
Speaker 10: Satanic foundation that is there.
Speaker 2: And absolutely yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean that's that's a purposeful defilement. It's like putting
Speaker 7: the Cross upside down. Like everything they do is an version,
Speaker 7: like the pentagram. The original five point star was supposed
Speaker 7: to represent the five wounds of Christ and so the
Speaker 7: Satanists inverted it and turned it into the pentagram. So
Speaker 7: those symbols are very important and imagery is important and
Speaker 7: they know that, and they use it to their satanic purposes.
Speaker 2: Yes, and the.
Speaker 7: Defilement of God and dishonoring of God. And we see
Speaker 7: the you know the result. Just look around you. I
Speaker 7: mean it's like there's demons everywhere, and there's demons in
Speaker 7: high places and low places, and and you know, society
Speaker 7: rots from the top down. I think it starts with
Speaker 7: these people who just who design these so called utopias
Speaker 7: for us, like the AI post human utopia. I think
Speaker 7: they hate themselves, the missanthropes, and they project their hatred
Speaker 7: self hatred onto humanity, and then if they can destroy humanity,
Speaker 7: they can somehow destroy the parts of themselves that they hate,
Speaker 7: like in a Youngie and Shadow sort of.
Speaker 10: I agree, Yeah, especially when you look at the transgender stuff.
Speaker 10: The purpose of that is to take very young and
Speaker 10: impressionable people or maybe even somebody who's an adult and
Speaker 10: that's very impressionable, like Christopher Beck who as a Navy
Speaker 10: seal that they pushed into becoming a training But it's
Speaker 10: to train them to hate their body, to hate themselves, uh,
Speaker 10: and then to engage in self mutilation. And so I
Speaker 10: think that is truly the satanic aspect of it. Tell
Speaker 10: us little bit about your project Jesus Jesus Park that
Speaker 10: you're working on. You've got to go fundme attached to
Speaker 10: that as well, But tell us about that. I think
Speaker 10: we've got a picture.
Speaker 2: Lance of that you can show the audience of that.
Speaker 7: So free is that I just started, Yeah, I had this,
Speaker 7: I had this dream. Is this vision David of this
Speaker 7: park and this beautiful sort of pastoral natural setting with
Speaker 7: trees and rocks, and and I've done a lot of
Speaker 7: imagery of Christ, and I wanted to create the face
Speaker 7: of Christ out of all natural materials, like his crown
Speaker 7: of thorns would be actual trees, like you know, So
Speaker 7: the scale would be enormous, like his face might take
Speaker 7: up a half acre or more. But it will be
Speaker 7: a place of a contemplation, a place of prayer, place
Speaker 7: of a place of peace. And for me, it'll be
Speaker 7: a labor of love and a devotion to God. And
Speaker 7: they I say it came to me in the dream
Speaker 7: download and I just feel like I feel like I
Speaker 7: have I have to make this thing. And while I
Speaker 7: still I'm still young enough, which might not be. So
Speaker 7: that's what I'm working on right now. And I do
Speaker 7: need some funds to realize it, talking to some some
Speaker 7: churches and to have land and trying to find the
Speaker 7: right spot for it. But I think it will be
Speaker 7: uh an incredible lasting monument and shrine really that I
Speaker 7: hope that people can enjoy.
Speaker 10: And so you'll be able to see the picture that
Speaker 10: we've got that'd be like an aerial view that people
Speaker 10: be able.
Speaker 7: To see in my in my vision. You know, I've
Speaker 7: done models of it and it's I mean, if it's
Speaker 7: on a slight slope, you should be able to make
Speaker 7: out his face from the ground, but you won't be
Speaker 7: able to at the full picture. So maybe you know
Speaker 7: from a yourne shot or something like that, but you'll
Speaker 7: be able to see what it is. And uh, it
Speaker 7: looks great in my dream. You know. Now I just
Speaker 7: have to make it.
Speaker 10: Have you got any you haven't got a sight for
Speaker 10: it yet, but are are you angling for any particular
Speaker 10: geographical area that would have.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I live on Long Island and there's this
Speaker 7: beautiful shrine out on the east end of Long Island
Speaker 7: called Our Lady of the Island and they have I
Speaker 7: think about one hundred acres of land and there's a
Speaker 7: full twenty foot marble sculpture. Married there's an outdoor church
Speaker 7: that I go to there and it overlooks the Great
Speaker 7: South Bay. It's just an incredible spot and they have
Speaker 7: a lot of land there. So I've reached out to them.
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's going to work out, but
Speaker 7: you know, there's a lot of logistics involved, so it's
Speaker 7: going to take some planning in a little time. But
Speaker 7: but I'm determined. So if I have to at some
Speaker 7: point just buy a small piece of land, maybe upstate
Speaker 7: New York, you can get an expensive land. Whatever I
Speaker 7: have to do, you know, I'm going to make this happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 10: Well, you know, in Tennessee, land is fairly cheap and
Speaker 10: they have a lot of unusual sites for people to
Speaker 10: come see, so you might get a lot of traffic
Speaker 10: there if you put it further south.
Speaker 7: But that's a good idea. I don't know much about it,
Speaker 7: but I'll take it right down Tennessee.
Speaker 2: Why not.
Speaker 10: Yeah, instead of people going to see Rock City, they
Speaker 10: can see the Jesus Park that's there. Where can people
Speaker 10: find the the GoFundMe?
Speaker 2: How do they find that?
Speaker 7: You can find all of my thought crimes on if
Speaker 7: you go just Anthony Frieda dot com Anthony f r
Speaker 7: a dot com like the links to all my projects there.
Speaker 10: Okay, good? And And your book is not out yet?
Speaker 10: Is it Thought Crimes of Anthony Frieda? Is that out yet?
Speaker 7: No, that's not, but that was The title was inspired
Speaker 7: by an actual crime that was happened because of my artwork.
Speaker 7: I did a book cover for c J. Hopkins who
Speaker 7: wrote this book The Horizon full of the of the
Speaker 7: New Normal, and I did a take off of the
Speaker 7: Rise and Poll of the Third Reich that cover, and
Speaker 7: I put the COVID mask with a little with a
Speaker 7: swastika barely visible behind the mask, the COVID mask. And
Speaker 7: they decided to charging him for the seminating Nazi propaganda
Speaker 7: in Germany and got to go to he was facing
Speaker 7: like the years in prison.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So that was my book cover. And all he
Speaker 7: did was tweet that cover to get to get and dieted.
Speaker 7: So that's a literal crime that I've been involved with
Speaker 7: as an accessory.
Speaker 10: So he can't use the symbols of the Nazi regime,
Speaker 10: but you can act like Nazis and that's okay, right.
Speaker 7: No, right, no, But it's selectively enforced because you know,
Speaker 7: the stern and magazines in Germany, they'll show Trump in
Speaker 7: full Hitler regalia all the time. That's just that's fine.
Speaker 7: And if it's for the purposes of the left, they
Speaker 7: get a pass. And CJ is not even a right
Speaker 7: wing guy. He's just one of these guys who there's
Speaker 7: a skeptic. He questions everything. Yeah, so it's kind of
Speaker 7: ironic that they're using this illegal subversion of their own laws,
Speaker 7: which is something the Nazis would do to prove that
Speaker 7: they're not Nazis.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: It's like there's a lot of hronies there. But anyway,
Speaker 7: he has his ongoing legal battle with them, and in
Speaker 7: Germany they don't have double jeopardy like we do. So
Speaker 7: they charged him, and he went to trial and he
Speaker 7: was acquitted, and now they're going to charge him again
Speaker 7: with the same crime. Just kid, they can charge. They
Speaker 7: can keep coming until they get their birth they want.
Speaker 2: Wow wow uh.
Speaker 10: And it's not a new incident of anything. It's for
Speaker 10: the same exact thing.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 10: Well, we just had somebody that was arrested here in
Speaker 10: Tennessee for a meme that he put up and they
Speaker 10: got him in you know, two million dollar bond to
Speaker 10: get him out of jail. And again it was because
Speaker 10: and we see this kind of censorship is going on
Speaker 10: both the left and the right. This was about the
Speaker 10: fact that this guy didn't like Charlie Kirk or conservatives.
Speaker 10: And so there was a school that was going to
Speaker 10: have an event donor Charlie Kirk, and he put up
Speaker 10: a meme that he didn't even.
Speaker 2: Create, that other people had created.
Speaker 10: It was a picture of Trump and it was a
Speaker 10: quote about what Trumpet said about a school shooting, and
Speaker 10: it said we got to get over this and move on.
Speaker 10: And so he put that up as his comment about
Speaker 10: the Charlie Kirk shooting. And because the place that he
Speaker 10: did it was something that Perry, Idaho or something was
Speaker 10: where the high school was that where the shooting had been,
Speaker 10: and this was in Perry County, and they said, well,
Speaker 10: you were trying to intimidate people here in Perry County
Speaker 10: by using this meme that you didn't even create, and
Speaker 10: so the sheriff arrested him for that two million dollar bail.
Speaker 10: We're seeing free speech attacked everywhere, every country. Every political
Speaker 10: philosophy is coming for speech because especially when we're looking
Speaker 10: at memes or political commentary like you do, it's very
Speaker 10: very powerful. They wouldn't be coming after it otherwise.
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely. Well I'm pretty certain he's going to win
Speaker 7: that lawsuit, because that's that's rageous. I'm used as censorship
Speaker 7: and I've been I mean, I know you've been through
Speaker 7: it too, just constantly platformed and demonetized and d this
Speaker 7: and do that, and it's just you know, and by
Speaker 7: the way, everything that I was, you know, censored for,
Speaker 7: turns out I was right about. I was right about
Speaker 7: all of it, every single thing I said. It was
Speaker 7: mostly about COVID. And then I'm also fairly certain I
Speaker 7: was put on a domestic terroor list because Biden had
Speaker 7: a list of anyone who questioned the COVID narrative was
Speaker 7: put on a list, and I would high profile about that.
Speaker 7: So I mean, I'm considered the potential violent They use
Speaker 7: the word violent, potential violent, domestic extremist terrorists if you
Speaker 7: were questioning COVID.
Speaker 10: That's right, yeah, because they say that, you know, speech
Speaker 10: is violence, and I say, no, censorship is violence. And
Speaker 10: the people who use and enforce censorship are the ones
Speaker 10: who usually do resort to violence. But the other you know,
Speaker 10: like arresting this guy. The sad thing is is that
Speaker 10: you see that both sides the political spectrum. And I'm
Speaker 10: talking about not just the politicians.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the grassroots.
Speaker 10: People are cheering this kind of censorship if they don't
Speaker 10: like what you have to say. We have lost the
Speaker 10: understanding of the importance of free speech in our society,
Speaker 10: and that includes America's not just in Europe, but in
Speaker 10: America as well. People don't realize that these tools of
Speaker 10: tyranny will be used against them eventually, and have already
Speaker 10: been used against them in many cases, and they still
Speaker 10: are cheering this on. It's truly amazing. I don't know
Speaker 10: how you get around it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh no, I've never seen the country so divide
Speaker 7: it there's no room. That's why, you know, the Charlie
Speaker 7: Kirk thing was so symbolic, because if you're not going
Speaker 7: to talk, you're going to kill each other. It's like,
Speaker 7: because they don't want to talk, they want to kill.
Speaker 7: And what is that? I mean if you, I know,
Speaker 7: you're a great student of history, like where does this go?
Speaker 7: It goes one place called civil war, That's where it goes.
Speaker 7: It's like, this is nothing new. We've seen it thousands
Speaker 7: of times before, all throughout history. This when there's a
Speaker 7: divide of this extreme nature, where there's no there's no communication.
Speaker 7: They're either good or evil, either with me or against me,
Speaker 7: it leads to civil war. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 7: how close we are to it, but unless something radically changes,
Speaker 7: which I don't see any evidence of we're in some
Speaker 7: perilous times here.
Speaker 10: I agree. I agree, yeah, we have. We've lost our foundation,
Speaker 10: you know, we've lost our foundation in terms of the
Speaker 10: principles that made.
Speaker 2: The West great. And we've lost our.
Speaker 10: Foundation because we've turned our back on God. That's what
Speaker 10: we were talking about earlier, and that truly is the
Speaker 10: foundation as the Lord Jesus Christ. And once we turn
Speaker 10: away from that, we are adrift as society. And so
Speaker 10: even though we used to have guns everywhere, now the
Speaker 10: guns are being turned on each other and being used
Speaker 10: on us, and there's a lot of different aspects to it.
Speaker 10: I think the heavy use of drugs is a part
Speaker 10: of that. I think that even plays a role actually
Speaker 10: in the technocrats. I had been told years ago that
Speaker 10: when these guys would go hang out at the Burning
Speaker 10: Man thing, that they were dropping LSD and they were
Speaker 10: also taking what was that DMT or something where they
Speaker 10: come in contact with machine elves. And the interesting thing
Speaker 10: about this is that you hear from the same people
Speaker 10: who are in different geographical areas.
Speaker 2: They start talking.
Speaker 10: About how they had the same types of encounters, and
Speaker 10: they're channeling technology from these entities that they're coming in
Speaker 10: contact with, and you can have people in radically different
Speaker 10: places that have the same experiences that are there. They
Speaker 10: even call them psycho knots, not nuts, but knots, like
Speaker 10: an astronaut or something.
Speaker 7: So yeah, it's interdimensional travel I think. I mean they're
Speaker 7: opening a portal to Hell for lack of a better word.
Speaker 7: I mean, this tells another dimension, Heaven's dimension, our plane
Speaker 7: is dimension. And those drugs somehow, I don't know how
Speaker 7: it works. I can't even come close to explain it,
Speaker 7: but it makes the veil between the dimensions permeable. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and they're they able to permeate it with these substances,
Speaker 7: and it's a dark energy and we're seeing it and
Speaker 7: that's connected to whole a I think we were talking
Speaker 7: about before. Yes, and these drugs are facilitating it, and
Speaker 7: you're totally right. But the other things when you turn
Speaker 7: away from God, I mean Deeparktropa said, you leave a
Speaker 7: God shaped hole. So what do you fill that hole with?
Speaker 7: You're going to fill with drugs or porn or wok
Speaker 7: is or something or satan. You know, it's like it
Speaker 7: has to be filled because that's part of our human
Speaker 7: makeup that we have to have something to believe in.
Speaker 7: So if you don't fill with God. The alternatives are
Speaker 7: anti human and their satanic, and they're dark. You're taking
Speaker 7: something that should be filled with light and you're filling
Speaker 7: with darkness.
Speaker 2: That's right, absolutely well, you know, it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 10: I use this quite a bit to attack.
Speaker 2: The pharmaceutical companies.
Speaker 10: I'd call them pharmachia because that's the Greek term that's
Speaker 10: using the New Testament frequently was transferred translated as sorcery
Speaker 10: because people would include these lucinogenic drugs as part of
Speaker 10: their spiritual experience and that type of thing. That's very
Speaker 10: old thing. But also it talks about how the pharmachia
Speaker 10: and the great men of the world would not repent
Speaker 10: of their murders. That's how I was using it for
Speaker 10: the pharmaceutical companies, and I thought it really fit.
Speaker 2: But that really is what we're seeing.
Speaker 10: And with all the technology that we've gotten, all of
Speaker 10: this idea about how we are so scientific and material
Speaker 10: realistic and we don't believe anything unless we can measure
Speaker 10: it well that we have seen over and over again
Speaker 10: is simply not true. The people that we disagree with
Speaker 10: are more than willing to pursue by faith a lot
Speaker 10: of different things, whether they talk about the climate change
Speaker 10: agenda or the pandemic. They accept a lot of stuff
Speaker 10: on the basis of faith. It's just what they have
Speaker 10: faith in. They have faith in these institutions, they have
Speaker 10: faith in people who have credentials that say that they're
Speaker 10: a scientist or an authority in something. So it's just
Speaker 10: a difference in what they have faith in. But I
Speaker 10: think it's very important what you're doing in terms of
Speaker 10: artwork that gets to people on a different level than
Speaker 10: just talking to them straight about the facts. You know,
Speaker 10: whenever we can engage the emotions and art does that,
Speaker 10: and you know, movies do that, and Christians are starting
Speaker 10: to learn to use the tools of movie making, and
Speaker 10: so I think there's going to be some very important
Speaker 10: work that is done there. But gradually the Christian movie
Speaker 10: industry picking up. But I think there's so much that's
Speaker 10: been lost in terms of artwork that would move people.
Speaker 2: I think that what you're doing is very important.
Speaker 7: Well, thank you, David. Yeah, it's spiking a film. I
Speaker 7: started working with a film production company. I think you're right.
Speaker 7: The answer is to create a parallel M and E
Speaker 7: economy that is in accordance with our values, yeah, and
Speaker 7: then the values of Western civilization and Christendom, the things
Speaker 7: that we have faith in, things that we believe in,
Speaker 7: and a lot of it's been sort of kind of hokey,
Speaker 7: kitschy stuff up to this point. But we're trying to
Speaker 7: create with man Alive Media group, this group I'm working
Speaker 7: with right now, we're working on a film about World
Speaker 7: War One. We're going to do a film about Joan
Speaker 7: of Arc and we're trying to make them very high
Speaker 7: minded and to the best of our ability, great pieces
Speaker 7: of art, because you're right, art speaks on a different
Speaker 7: level than just there's a conversation with some kind of conversation.
Speaker 7: It's like, you know, poetry or prose. It's like it's
Speaker 7: something that engages our mind in a different way and
Speaker 7: hopefully opens up and our mind to this conversation. But
Speaker 7: we have to be able to talk, and censorship is
Speaker 7: the enemy of all of us, because then we're not talking,
Speaker 7: and if we're not talking, we're probably shooting each other.
Speaker 10: Because so we make peaceful change impossible, we make violent
Speaker 10: change inevitable.
Speaker 2: As Kennedy said, that's right, and.
Speaker 10: I think it's very important. You know, for the longest time,
Speaker 10: Christians have retreated from the arts and they feel like
Speaker 10: the best way to engage people is with a didactic aspect,
Speaker 10: and of course there's value in that, but there's another
Speaker 10: way to reach people, and that is by showing them,
Speaker 10: you know, and portraying as a narrative. I just talked
Speaker 10: to the author of Flags of Our Fathers, who's just
Speaker 10: done a book on Vietnam. We spent ten years in
Speaker 10: Vietnam talking to people there. And his name is James.
Speaker 10: Was it James Bradley? I think it was Bradley or Bradley.
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I can't remember his last name, but very
Speaker 10: interesting guy. And when he did this book, you know,
Speaker 10: his previous books were nonfiction, but he wanted to do
Speaker 10: a fictional book because he said there were so many
Speaker 10: facets and so many different things that he had to
Speaker 10: use fictional characters to bring them together. And so not
Speaker 10: only does it engage our emotions more so if we
Speaker 10: have a narrative story, but it also allows us to
Speaker 10: pull together the relevant things in a way that we
Speaker 10: couldn't if we had to stick to exactly what the
Speaker 10: true story was. And Hollywood knows that for the longest time.
Speaker 10: Go see something's based on true event. They always change
Speaker 10: it always begin this is based on a true story,
Speaker 10: but the actual characters are fictionalized and so forth. They
Speaker 10: always do that, And so I think it's good the
Speaker 10: kind of projects that you mentioned there, when we're talking
Speaker 10: about people living their life according to Christian principles, I
Speaker 10: think that's.
Speaker 2: Probably the best way that that can be.
Speaker 10: And rather than going in to the Bible and then
Speaker 10: fictionalizing that that always kind of rubs me the wrong
Speaker 10: trying to rewrite it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it doesn't have to be didactic or so blatant
Speaker 7: like I mean, there was great Christian authors, you know,
Speaker 7: Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, and they were they were
Speaker 7: coming up with their own mythology to sort of mirror
Speaker 7: Christian themes without you know, saying literally, this is Jesus
Speaker 7: and this is what happened. So you know, Christianity to
Speaker 7: me is a myth. That's true, yes, but we need
Speaker 7: to create alternative myths to reinforce that myth, to bring
Speaker 7: people to us, because it's just so boring to just
Speaker 7: you know, tell the same story, even in brilliant filmmakers' hands,
Speaker 7: like it's been done and it's so it's it's just
Speaker 7: going to turn a lot of people off. But if
Speaker 7: you do it in a way that's creative and original
Speaker 7: and interesting and unexpected and entertaining and edifying something different,
Speaker 7: Now it's the work of art on its own, not
Speaker 7: just pastiche and not just biblical scripture translated into film.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 10: I remember the film critic Brian Goadawa, and he actually
Speaker 10: was able to do a film. I think it was
Speaker 10: called To End All Wars. I'm not sure about that,
Speaker 10: but it took place in American soldiers in Japanese in
Speaker 10: term of prison camp during World War Two. But his
Speaker 10: whole idea is that very much like you know, I
Speaker 10: think it was C. S. Lewis who said that the
Speaker 10: Christian myth is the greatest myth and it's real. You know,
Speaker 10: he doesn't mean that it's fictional. He just means by myth,
Speaker 10: he means an epic story. And so that was kind
Speaker 10: of Brian Goadawa's take on it. He said, you know,
Speaker 10: every one of our really the stories that really resonate
Speaker 10: with people always have a redemptive arc in the story,
Speaker 10: and he did a really good job with that, and
Speaker 10: he also would kind of draw that out in his film.
Speaker 2: Reviews that he did.
Speaker 10: But uh, that that I think is something that you know,
Speaker 10: if we're not going to be able to fight a
Speaker 10: culture war, if we don't have culture someone said, I
Speaker 10: think that's exactly true. Right, We're going unarmed, right, I.
Speaker 7: Mean, yeah, it's staying the obvious. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 7: we got listen. You know, it's on us, you know, yeah,
Speaker 7: I think it incumbent upon Christians of people who are means,
Speaker 7: people who are creative, people who have talent or something
Speaker 7: to give, like put it towards the cause because the
Speaker 7: other side certainly is you know, the Satanists and the
Speaker 7: Demons and the Lunatics and the Islamicists and the Marxists,
Speaker 7: like they're all on board. You know. You just watch
Speaker 7: Netflix and there's messaging in every single thing they do.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, so anti Christian, anti mail, anti white, anti American,
Speaker 7: and it's just I mean it's so ham fisted, but
Speaker 7: they shoehorned into everything. The story does nothing to do
Speaker 7: with what they're talking about those you know, well white
Speaker 7: people are bad. What does that have to do with
Speaker 7: the comedy I was watching so right, you know, we
Speaker 7: could do it more artfully. There's so many great artists
Speaker 7: and writers out there that are Christian and we need
Speaker 7: to come together and build these teams and that's what
Speaker 7: I'm trying to do in my own little way.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 10: So the best place for people to find out how
Speaker 10: they can get your book when it's available, and also
Speaker 10: to find out about the Jesus Park if they want
Speaker 10: to get involved and they go fund me, we need
Speaker 10: to go to your website, Anthony Frieda, and that is
Speaker 10: f R E. D A dot com right, so yes,
Speaker 10: way for them to find you anything. It's always been
Speaker 10: great talking to you. I only had a chance to
Speaker 10: meet you once and that was up at Jerrold's event
Speaker 10: four years ago and his occupy piece thing, And so
Speaker 10: when I saw that you had a book out there,
Speaker 10: it's like, oh yeah, I definitely love to talk to
Speaker 10: anything about that. You've got a great story to tell
Speaker 10: and it's been a great journey that you've been on.
Speaker 10: I really want to thank you for the work that
Speaker 10: you have done. It's been very important and look forward
Speaker 10: to a lot more to come from you in the future.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 7: Thank you, David.
Speaker 10: All right, thank you. Let me before we run out
Speaker 10: of time, let me get to some of the comments
Speaker 10: that are up here, and as Lance my producer said,
Speaker 10: Jesus used parables and analogies. That's right, so we're following
Speaker 10: in the right way when we use those type of
Speaker 10: things as well. Some one of his favorite ways to
Speaker 10: get a point across was to use a parable a
Speaker 10: story about something and in most cases I think there
Speaker 10: was at least one or two that were not fictional,
Speaker 10: but they were all giving a story there.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 10: Crash and Splash seventy five says. The average lifespan a lithium
Speaker 10: minor thirty years. So enjoy your battery, I said, like
Speaker 10: a lot of these things, well, co cobalt is being
Speaker 10: dug out of the mines by young children operating at
Speaker 10: slave wages and a situation that kills them. So yeah,
Speaker 10: that is we have to understand this. Behind a lot
Speaker 10: of this stuff, Car insurance is now hired to pay
Speaker 10: for than battery burns says Joelson's and Guard Goldsmith good
Speaker 10: to see the Guard Liberty conspiracy says. Last year, the
Speaker 10: very US government bureau tasked with promoting EV travel banned
Speaker 10: EV buyings and scooters from being brought into their Colorado
Speaker 10: building for fear of fire.
Speaker 2: That's right. Jason Barker, nice the storm, good to see you.
Speaker 10: He says AI is good for memes, but not for
Speaker 10: real art, meme images and music, and that's really you
Speaker 10: know what it does. I mean, a meme just kind
Speaker 10: of picks up on a theme and imitates it.
Speaker 2: And that's precisely what AI is.
Speaker 10: But the real danger of AI is not that it's
Speaker 10: going to become some self aware sky net thing. I
Speaker 10: think the real danger is that it is a very
Speaker 10: effective tool for pulling together data and for doing searches
Speaker 10: and surveillance that can be used to control us.
Speaker 2: That's really where the devil is in that detail. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for joining us. Have a good.
Speaker 1: Day making sense common again.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the David Night Show. H.
Speaker 10: This is an article from RT and it kind of
Speaker 10: goes into the philosophy of Alexander Dugan. If you remember him,
Speaker 10: the guy that they say is Putin's resputant or Putin's brain.
Speaker 10: He is a philosopher. His daughter was assassinated. They were
Speaker 10: trying to get him, and I had the opportunity to
Speaker 10: interview him when I was at Info Wars, which is
Speaker 10: kind of a strange interview I wasn't quite sure where
Speaker 10: the guy was coming from. This is at the beginning
Speaker 10: of the Trump administration, and at that point there was
Speaker 10: a lot of enthusiasm amongst general Russians thinking that, well,
Speaker 10: this is great. We're not going to have the Russia
Speaker 10: Russia Russia of fear anymore. We're going to normalize relations
Speaker 10: with Trump. Even had if you remember, a small town
Speaker 10: named a street after Trump temporarily until Trump showed that
Speaker 10: he was on the same team.
Speaker 2: With these people.
Speaker 10: But as part of that, there was a guy he
Speaker 10: used to work for Fox News, and he contacted Info
Speaker 10: Wars because he was now working with a TV network
Speaker 10: in Russia, and he said, I'd like to.
Speaker 2: Get dugan on.
Speaker 10: I was the one that they had interview him, and
Speaker 10: unfortunately I wish I had had the time to read
Speaker 10: his book. I didn't know about his book. I didn't
Speaker 10: understand that. I was looking at some other articles about it.
Speaker 10: Just came up very quickly. But he wrote a book
Speaker 10: talking about the Fourth Approach. And when I interviewed him,
Speaker 10: it was kind of strange because I perceived this guy
Speaker 10: as coming from a more traditionalist, almost Czarist nationality, because
Speaker 10: a lot of stuff they talks about is very nostalgic
Speaker 10: for that period of time and that type of thing.
Speaker 10: So I thought, this is a guy who's anti communist,
Speaker 10: and maybe this is why they want us to interview him.
Speaker 10: And so when I asked him, there was some talk
Speaker 10: at the time. Some of the people were saying, we've
Speaker 10: got to get Lennen out of Red Square. You know,
Speaker 10: they've had his decaying body there and Red Square since
Speaker 10: he died, I don't know, maybe getting close to a
Speaker 10: central you go. And so there's some people wanted to
Speaker 10: move his body out there, and so I asked him
Speaker 10: about it, and goes, oh, no, no, that's part of
Speaker 10: our history and we honor it.
Speaker 2: And it's like, Okay, where's this guy coming from. He
Speaker 2: likes Lenen, and he likes the Czars.
Speaker 10: He's all about culture and history, and so he sees
Speaker 10: all of that as playing into a cultural history. And
Speaker 10: his view is that instead of having a philosophy, a
Speaker 10: political philosophy and economic philosophy that can be used for
Speaker 10: world domination, we need to have the world set up
Speaker 10: with multiple cultural and ethnic diversity.
Speaker 2: Really, it's real diversity. They're talking about real.
Speaker 10: Multiculturalism, where you have national cultural ethnic identities and people
Speaker 10: are operating in their own interest. In other words, what
Speaker 10: we had before this kind of globalism. And when you
Speaker 10: look at the three philosophies communism, fascism, liberalism, liberalism meaning
Speaker 10: what we have in the West, and I guess really
Speaker 10: that kind of liberalism which is not really about liberty,
Speaker 10: but that's how they try to sell it. And so
Speaker 10: in all of these they have all resulted in governments
Speaker 10: who seek to have global domination because we understand that
Speaker 10: power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and they can
Speaker 10: never have enough. These people who are in political power
Speaker 10: are just like the billionaires. You could be a billionaire,
Speaker 10: you could be a trillionaire, and it still won't be enough.
Speaker 10: Of these people, they always want more. And so you
Speaker 10: can be the leader of the world's largest country, richest country,
Speaker 10: most powerful country, and you're always going to want more.
Speaker 2: You're going to want to be the leader of a
Speaker 2: region or a leader of the entire world. And we
Speaker 2: see this play out. It's just human nature. And so.
Speaker 10: This is an interview that RTE had with a guy
Speaker 10: who is co founder of Austria's identitarian movement that believes
Speaker 10: that liberal Europe has lost its way. So what is
Speaker 10: the identifyitarian movement? Well, it's about nationalist preservation cultural, ethnic
Speaker 10: national identities. And so this guy was inspired by Alexander
Speaker 10: Dugan and his fourth political theory, and.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 10: Again like I said, liberalism, communism, fascism. But then he
Speaker 10: puts out he envisions a world of multipolarity, a world
Speaker 10: of distinct civilizations with their own culture values that rejects
Speaker 10: universal ideologies. But key to all this is that he
Speaker 10: sees it as being led by Russia. He thinks that
Speaker 10: only Russia can lead this. Also, when I talked to him,
Speaker 10: it was kind of interesting his view of America as
Speaker 10: just being a successor to Great Britain and its sea power,
Speaker 10: and so he saw a continuity of seapower versus land power,
Speaker 10: Russia of course being lanmdpower, China as well being land power,
Speaker 10: but the American and British tradition was one of seapower,
Speaker 10: which led them especially to being able to do global
Speaker 10: domination economically. And so he sees Russia and as the
Speaker 10: only counterweight to this kind of Western globalization. Markovic is
Speaker 10: the guy that they interviewed. He's moved, he said, beyond
Speaker 10: a single focus issue on immigration, turning instead to a
Speaker 10: broader philosophical program that champions Eurasian unity, a sovereign European civilization,
Speaker 10: and resistance to the West's rule of Deceit today serves
Speaker 10: as a secretary general and press spokesman for an institute
Speaker 10: that was named after a famous Russian military commander. So
Speaker 10: this is a Vienna based organization found in twenty fourteen
Speaker 10: to promote Austrian Russian dialogue and to safeguard Europe's cultural heritage,
Speaker 10: he says, from liberal globalist erosion. So you can imagine
Speaker 10: he's got a big target on his back here with
Speaker 10: the Austrian government. And we have seen that the Austrian
Speaker 10: Nationalist Party, even though they won the election the last election,
Speaker 10: all the other parties got together because he in a
Speaker 10: multi party election, nobody's can get past fifty percent, so
Speaker 10: you've always got to have a coalition. Well, as we
Speaker 10: saw in France, and with the Nationalist Party that's there,
Speaker 10: all of the other parties set aside all of their
Speaker 10: differences over everything else, and the communists, the socialists, the
Speaker 10: liberals that were there all united against the Nationalist Party
Speaker 10: to make sure that it didn't form a government.
Speaker 11: So it's in opposition, which also want to show you
Speaker 11: just how little difference there is from the liberals, the
Speaker 11: socialists and the communists. They're all interchangeable, they're all for
Speaker 11: the exact same thing. France is the same as it
Speaker 11: was before that happened.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 10: He's been branded as a Russian agent because he is
Speaker 10: working for a Russian institute that is there.
Speaker 6: You'll probably take that as a compliment.
Speaker 10: He is a devote of Alexander Dugan's fourth political Theory,
Speaker 10: and for him, the struggle is existential, a battle for
Speaker 10: Europe's soul in the face of unipolar collapse. He envisions
Speaker 10: a continent that is reborn through faith, tradition multipolar solidarity
Speaker 10: with Russia. In his view, Austria can either remain a
Speaker 10: compliant satellite of Brussels and Washington, in other words, the
Speaker 10: EU or the US, or we claim its historic role
Speaker 10: as a bridge between East and West. The choice, he warns,
Speaker 10: will determine whether future generations inherit a sovereign European civilization
Speaker 10: or a museum piece. I would describe it more as
Speaker 10: a cut flower. The problem with Europe is far more
Speaker 10: fundamental than any kind of political or philosophical issue. It
Speaker 10: is a cut flower because these people have cut themselves
Speaker 10: off from the vine, the vine of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 10: They want the fruit of Christian society, but they don't
Speaker 10: want Christ. That is the fundamental issue, and it is
Speaker 10: not about political theory. The fundamental issue culture and politics.
Speaker 10: All that stuff is downstream from your relationship with God,
Speaker 10: and it's not something that you can even operate yourself.
Speaker 10: If you shake your fist against God, He's going to
Speaker 10: shake your country back. And this is I think what
Speaker 10: we're seeing here. Western media often labels you as far
Speaker 10: right and as a Russian agent. Is this just a
Speaker 10: smear campaign to discredit multipolar voices? He says, yes, without question.
Speaker 10: In Austria today, any Christian who openly declares belief in God,
Speaker 10: Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit is branded far right.
Speaker 10: Anyone questioning NATO's expansion since nineteen ninety one or calling
Speaker 10: for an end to arms deliveries to Kiev is accused
Speaker 10: of being a Russian agent. Even communist and socialists are
Speaker 10: smeared with the same labels if they criticize fascism in
Speaker 10: Ukraine or Western involvement in the Maidan coup. Conservatives who
Speaker 10: affirm biological reality that there's only two sexes are attacked
Speaker 10: just as fiercely. If advocating peace and a multipolar world
Speaker 10: order makes one a fascist, then half of Austria would
Speaker 10: qualify under these absurd definitions, he says. They asked him,
Speaker 10: do you believe the West's unipolar dominance is collapsing?
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 10: Since the so called war on Terror began in two
Speaker 10: thousand and one, the West has been in a permanent
Speaker 10: state of crisis. And this is by design. It was
Speaker 10: an inside job to create a permanent state of crisis.
Speaker 10: The COVID was the other shot drop. As I've said
Speaker 10: many times, the migration crisis, the financial crisis, now the
Speaker 10: war against Russia have all accelerated the breakdown of Western unipolarity.
Speaker 10: He left out COVID, which I think is really huge.
Speaker 10: That was a massive global strike against US. So nine
Speaker 10: to eleven was targeted towards America, but COVID was really
Speaker 10: a global agenda. Same type of thing. This collapse, though,
Speaker 10: he said, offers hope the end of liberal to tolitarianism.
Speaker 2: Think about that.
Speaker 10: That's kind of it looks at first like it is
Speaker 10: a contradiction in terms, because you know, you think liberal.
Speaker 10: I think classical liberal, but I think that truly is
Speaker 10: liberal to Tolitarianism is what we're really seeing here. Yet
Speaker 10: it also brings danger, as governments may adopt ever harsher
Speaker 10: measures to cling to power. The fall of the West
Speaker 10: is inevitable. The only uncertainty is how and when it
Speaker 10: will conclude. So they ask him, is the conflict between
Speaker 10: Russia and the West really about Ukraine or the clash
Speaker 10: of civilizations? He said, it is a class of civilizations.
Speaker 10: As Samuel Huntington predicted. The West is fighting the rest
Speaker 10: of the world to preserve its dominance. On the opposing
Speaker 10: side stands the bricks nation, and this multiple multipolar order,
Speaker 10: and what we see them trying to do with bricks
Speaker 10: really flows out of Alexander Dugan's philosophy. Here, he said,
Speaker 10: our goal is not a global nineteen eighty four, but
Speaker 10: the great awakening of all people. Now, look, this all
Speaker 10: sounds wonderful, doesn't it. Just remember we're talking about politicians here,
Speaker 10: and they will always come up with some grand scheme
Speaker 10: that sounds wonderful. The Communists had a great marketing plan
Speaker 10: as well. Austria has fallen victim to a globalist enforced conformity.
Speaker 10: They even have a German word for it, and they
Speaker 10: have abandoned their sovereignty. Restoring that sovereignty is essential if
Speaker 10: Europe is to exist as an independent poll in a peaceful,
Speaker 10: multi polar world.
Speaker 2: Europe is in the.
Speaker 10: Midst of cultural suicide, ruled by decadent liberal globalist elite
Speaker 10: that despises God and worships wealth. This elite promotes gender confusion,
Speaker 10: endless wars, and mass migration while ignoring collapsing birth rates.
Speaker 10: And he says Russia must be willing to aid in
Speaker 10: Europe's re christianization. I just don't think that they are
Speaker 10: the model that we need to see. And again he
Speaker 10: talks about the Freedom Party that's there in Austria, how
Speaker 10: they were blocked after they won the election, and as
Speaker 10: we said before, in France, even as a Leapenn's party
Speaker 10: trashed them in the European elections, and in the first
Speaker 10: round of the French elections they gained even more votes,
Speaker 10: and in the second and final round of the French
Speaker 10: elections they picked up even more support. So how was
Speaker 10: it that they crashed from first place to third place.
Speaker 10: It's because Macron and all these other political parties regardless
Speaker 10: of what their stated political philosophy was. They agreed that
Speaker 10: they would look to see who in every region, they
Speaker 10: would say, which of our parties has the strongest candidate,
Speaker 10: and we will have all the other parties drop out
Speaker 10: and throw their support behind that candidate in order to
Speaker 10: oppose the national party. That's the game that they played
Speaker 10: here in America. We've only got two parties to start with,
Speaker 10: and these guys are playing the game of jerry mandering.
Speaker 10: So it operates a little bit differently here, and you're
Speaker 10: always going to have a winner in a two party thing.
Speaker 10: So we don't we form our coalitions before the elections
Speaker 10: instead of after the elections. It is the political parties
Speaker 10: that are going to determine who the candidates are. That's
Speaker 10: why it was such a big deal when Mike Johnson
Speaker 10: went to this meeting with Jewish elites and said, we're
Speaker 10: going to police out people who are opposed to you
Speaker 10: out of the party. They can make sure that you
Speaker 10: don't win, and even if you run in a primary,
Speaker 10: they can utilize their forces to run everything against you.
Speaker 10: And that's the way it's done in the US, instead
Speaker 10: of done after the election with a coalition.
Speaker 2: You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 10: Welcome back and joining us now is Eric Peters of
Speaker 10: Eric petersautos dot Com. Always great to have Eric on.
Speaker 10: He has focused on liberty and mobility because you can't
Speaker 10: have one without the other. It's kind of all what
Speaker 10: Jefferson said about life and liberty. He said, the hand
Speaker 10: of force can destroy life or liberty, but cannot separate them.
Speaker 10: Of course he said disjoin them. But that's a little
Speaker 10: bit stilted o our language, but it definitely is true,
Speaker 10: and you cannot disjoin liberty and mobility either. So I
Speaker 10: always enjoy Eric's take on things. Eric, I was sad
Speaker 10: to see that you're we were just talking about this
Speaker 10: over the break. You wrote a piece three days ago.
Speaker 10: You said, our Charlie, what happened in your family?
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, it's a tough thing to talk about. I
Speaker 9: hope I'll be able to do this well enough. But
Speaker 9: we had a had about a two and a half
Speaker 9: year old mixed breed German shepherd lab and you know
Speaker 9: he's been my companion for that full time and just
Speaker 9: a very big presence in our life. Anyway, he got
Speaker 9: hit by I guess a car truck. I'm not sure
Speaker 9: exactly which, And it was really jarring because, as anybody
Speaker 9: who's been through having a pet die knows, it's one
Speaker 9: thing when your pet is elderly and old or sick,
Speaker 9: and you you know, you understand that it's going to happen,
Speaker 9: and you have time to prepare for it, but you know,
Speaker 9: with a with a young pet like that, to just
Speaker 9: be gone instantly, just like that, just what happened really difficult.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 9: Boy, For the last several day. This happened on Friday,
Speaker 9: I've been having deja vu, you know, certain times of
Speaker 9: the day like oh, I better put water in paces bowl,
Speaker 9: or oh, it's time for us to go for our run.
Speaker 9: I went for a run on Monday, and you know,
Speaker 9: one of his things that he would do, he would
Speaker 9: carry around he was a strong dog, a big log
Speaker 9: in his mouth and he would keep it in his
Speaker 9: mouth for a mile or more on our run. You know,
Speaker 9: It's just one of those things. And as I'm running
Speaker 9: by myself, which was strange, I saw one of the
Speaker 9: logs that he dropped off on the trail and it
Speaker 9: just really I'm sorry, kind of really, I'm being overly
Speaker 9: emotional about it, So I.
Speaker 10: Apologize Oh no, I understand, absolutely understand. It's like you said,
Speaker 10: it's the suddenness of this, and I think that's one
Speaker 10: of the things that really magnified what happened to Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 10: But I think, you know, when we look at it
Speaker 10: and how they have taken his legacy and they have
Speaker 10: flipped it completely opposite of what he was known for,
Speaker 10: what he ought to be remembered for. They're doing everything
Speaker 10: they can.
Speaker 2: To make a.
Speaker 10: A saint, a celebrity whatever. There in Oklahoma. They want
Speaker 10: to put a Charlie Kirk statue on every university campus.
Speaker 10: I think the right way to honor him is to
Speaker 10: support free speech, But it seems like the people who
Speaker 10: agreed with him and who followed him want to do
Speaker 10: just the opposite of that. They want to attack free speech,
Speaker 10: and they think this gives them an opportunity to do
Speaker 10: what they know the left was doing to them before.
Speaker 9: What do you think to take Trump? Did you happen
Speaker 9: to ask the interview? It was a couple of days
Speaker 9: after Kirk's assassination, and I wish I could remember who
Speaker 9: the journalist was. It was a woman, and you know,
Speaker 9: she was asking Trump about the calls to suppress what
Speaker 9: they called hate speech. Now, it's interesting that Trump all
Speaker 9: people right is not even exactly what they excoriated the
Speaker 9: left for doing during the twenty twenty four campaign season,
Speaker 9: and it was one of the reasons why people voted
Speaker 9: for Trump, because they were tired of having their differing
Speaker 9: opinions framed as hate.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 9: Well, I've got a question. Oh, you're hateful. You know,
Speaker 9: we can't discuss that because clearly you're a Cretan and
Speaker 9: you're you know, you're motivated by malicious motives rather than Hey,
Speaker 9: I just have a question. Anyway, This female reporter asked
Speaker 9: Trump about that, and Trump had the egregious vulgar gall
Speaker 9: to say something like, uh, well, Charlie Cook, does he
Speaker 9: may not think that way anymore. I can't remember that.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly what he said. We played that clip.
Speaker 10: Yeah, she said, Charlie Kirch said there's no such thing
Speaker 10: as hate speech. I probably wouldn't say that now. Yeah,
Speaker 10: that's basically despicable.
Speaker 9: Because again, everything that whether you agree with what Kirk
Speaker 9: had to say or not, I think the one thing
Speaker 9: that has to be universally acknowledged is that he was
Speaker 9: willing to debate. He was willing to discuss practically any topic,
Speaker 9: including even Israel lately, and you know the influence of
Speaker 9: the Israeli government over the American government, and I think
Speaker 9: that's ultimately what got him into trouble. You know, Trump
Speaker 9: demands Lockstep adherents and even worship of himself and his policies,
Speaker 9: and he does it in a manner that's just so
Speaker 9: abrasive and insulting to the people who support him. This
Speaker 9: this latest business of doing the parking break one eighty
Speaker 9: on Ukraine. You know, again, it's another example. You know,
Speaker 9: if people had been aware that he was going to
Speaker 9: do that in twenty twenty four, I doubt many people
Speaker 9: would have voted for him. One of the reasons, strong
Speaker 9: reasons people voted for him was we are sick of
Speaker 9: all these wars. We're sick of being forced to finance
Speaker 9: it through our taxes and thereby be complicit in it.
Speaker 9: You know, the mass murder in Gaza. We want no
Speaker 9: part of this stuff. It's got to stop. That's one
Speaker 9: of the reasons why people voted for him. And now
Speaker 9: this brazen guy just says, well, we're going to back Ukraine.
Speaker 9: And not only that, he's saying that Ukraine has a
Speaker 9: right to not only sees back every territory that it's lost,
Speaker 9: but potentially even more than that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it takes some back from Russia. Exactly.
Speaker 9: It's madness. How do they think that this is going
Speaker 9: to be received by Putin? What do you think Putin's
Speaker 9: response to this is going to be. I wouldn't be
Speaker 9: surprised if he amps things up because he believes that
Speaker 9: he's got a narrow window of opportunity now to finish
Speaker 9: this situation before boots that go on the ground, potentially
Speaker 9: American boots.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's taunting Putin, saying he doesn't have much a military.
Speaker 10: He could have finished this off in a couple of weeks,
Speaker 10: you know, like we finished off Afghanistan right in a
Speaker 10: couple of weeks.
Speaker 9: I was having a conversation with a friend of mine
Speaker 9: who stopped by yesterday about this, and we got to
Speaker 9: talking about Putin versus Trump and the difference between a
Speaker 9: serious person and a clown.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Now, whatever you may think of Putin, you don't have
Speaker 9: to say that you like him. You know, that's a
Speaker 9: childish argument. It's not about whether you think he's a
Speaker 9: nice man or a bad man. He's a serious man.
Speaker 9: He's a serious person with serious credentials, who is not
Speaker 9: an idiot and who understands history. And look at Trump,
Speaker 9: what do we have. You know, we literally have a
Speaker 9: clown going up against a serious person, a dangerous clown.
Speaker 2: I believe he was installed for that very reason.
Speaker 10: You know, he even had his first Commerce secretary, William
Speaker 10: Let's see Webber Ross, who said that you know, it
Speaker 10: was the Rothschild bank that he was working for, and
Speaker 10: he said, you know, when Trump was going bankrupt, he
Speaker 10: showed up and he saw this big crowd around him.
Speaker 10: He said, I contacted the Rothschild people and I said, hey,
Speaker 10: this is somebody I think we could use. I think
Speaker 10: that's exactly what they're doing. They're using him as a clown.
Speaker 10: They're using him to divide people, They're using him to
Speaker 10: create chaos. I think that's his role.
Speaker 9: And also a distraction, and maybe the worst kind of
Speaker 9: distraction imaginable. You know, as everything falls apart internally, and
Speaker 9: you know, potentially, let's say the Epstein things percolates up again,
Speaker 9: or we find new details about what may have been
Speaker 9: involved in Kirk's murder that could have incredibly damaging repercussions.
Speaker 9: What would be a perfect thing to get people's mind
Speaker 9: off of that, Well, perhaps a big war in Eastern Europe.
Speaker 9: Do just that. That's right, and that's what I have
Speaker 9: this creepy feeling maybe in the works, and.
Speaker 2: I think he's absolutely capable of it.
Speaker 10: You know, you look at what he's doing with the
Speaker 10: trying to make an excuse that he can blow up
Speaker 10: ships off of Venezuela without even stopping them or verifying
Speaker 10: that they're running drugs. And as I pointed out at
Speaker 10: the same time that he's saying, this is an appropriate response,
Speaker 10: and JD. Vance is saying it's appropriate. Marco Rubio and
Speaker 10: Pete Haigseth are all saying, oh, this is what our
Speaker 10: military is for.
Speaker 2: No, it's not.
Speaker 10: We had our military was stopping ships, inspecting them. If
Speaker 10: they find drugs, they would take the drugs, they would
Speaker 10: arrest the people. They didn't line them up on the
Speaker 10: side of the boat and machine gun them. And so
Speaker 10: this is an extra judicial killing. I told the audience
Speaker 10: earlier on the program, I said, Dutarte did this in
Speaker 10: the Philippines. He said, you know, you think it's a
Speaker 10: drug dealer, shoot to kill and he's now in the
Speaker 10: International Criminal Court and they're looking at him for those
Speaker 10: extra judicial killings. It's a crime, it's a war crime
Speaker 10: that he's doing, so he's perfectly capable.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a psychopathic elaboration of that old if you
Speaker 9: see something, say something. Now, if you see something, kill something. Yeah,
Speaker 9: these are acts of war, and they're also the acts
Speaker 9: of a coward bully in that Venezuela. It's just another
Speaker 9: example of big old Uncle Sam throwing his weight around
Speaker 9: and extraditionally extra judicially killing foreign nationals outside of the
Speaker 9: United States with impunity because you know, we can do it.
Speaker 9: What's Venezuela going to do about it?
Speaker 2: That's right?
Speaker 9: You know, I think at some point Trump is going
Speaker 9: to whack the wrong guy, and Putin could be just
Speaker 9: the guy who's the wrong guy to whack.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's very concerning, you know, even escalated saying yeah,
Speaker 10: we should shoot down Russian jets if they get any
Speaker 10: more close to the borders and things like that as well.
Speaker 10: It's a dangerous time that we live. And of course,
Speaker 10: very much like the Chinese curse, isn't it may you
Speaker 10: live in interesting times. There's never a shortage of thanks
Speaker 10: to report on it. It's like and now for something
Speaker 10: completely different from Trump than he said yesterday.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like Monty Python, I'm glad.
Speaker 9: You brought up China. It just I happened. I needed
Speaker 9: to break the other day, and so I was just
Speaker 9: watching some random YouTube videos, and I was watching some
Speaker 9: videos of depicting scenes in China around, for example, their
Speaker 9: train stations and their airports, their infrastructure, which is immaculate
Speaker 9: and modern. I looked at their bullet trains and I
Speaker 9: compared it with what's going on in this country. You know,
Speaker 9: China is actually concerned with China and trying to build
Speaker 9: up its own internal society and improve itself, where it
Speaker 9: seems that the US is de industrializing and rapidly descending
Speaker 9: from second to third world status, you know, to the
Speaker 9: extent we can actually see the change from day to day.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's by design, and it's by the same
Speaker 10: people that are running Trump, even though he pushes back
Speaker 10: against the climate mcguffin that I call it still it's
Speaker 10: the deliberate de industrialization of the West. And there's two
Speaker 10: sides of that. They want to de industrialize the West
Speaker 10: while they give China the advantage in terms of manufacturing,
Speaker 10: and the huge advantage that they have is in terms
Speaker 10: of energy costs. But as Gerald Clenti has said many
Speaker 10: times on the show, he said, the business of China
Speaker 10: is business. The business of America is war, and that's
Speaker 10: not serving us well.
Speaker 9: And constructiveness. Yeah, I saw something also related to China
Speaker 9: that talked. It was a person talking about how in
Speaker 9: China the oligarchs, the really rich people kind of do
Speaker 9: what American oligarchs did in the late part of the
Speaker 9: nineteenth in early twentieth century, when they did things like
Speaker 9: the Carnegie Library. You know, they funded these these vast
Speaker 9: things that were good for Americans, you know, leaving aside
Speaker 9: the question of corporate oligarchs. At least they put me
Speaker 9: back into the country, whereas now the oligarch class in
Speaker 9: this country just flaunts its gratuitous, egregious theft wealth, you know,
Speaker 9: with one twenty thousand dollars mcmanson after the next, and
Speaker 9: yachts and lavish lifestyles, thumbing their nose and rubbing our
Speaker 9: faces in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 10: And to make it clear, you know, when you look
Speaker 10: at somebody like Henry Ford, who had his issues, he
Speaker 10: wanted to make sure that his workers could afford to
Speaker 10: buy the product that he has. Who's going to buy
Speaker 10: these products when they replace all of us with robots,
Speaker 10: That's what their goal is. They won't replace everybody with robots.
Speaker 10: And I said when Trump did his tax cut in
Speaker 10: twenty seventeen, because it was all targeted towards corporations and
Speaker 10: he was going to incentivize them to bring to onshore manufacturing,
Speaker 10: I said, that's not going to happen until they've got
Speaker 10: the robots to replace the workers they. I said, that's
Speaker 10: why they've got the open border immigration. And once they
Speaker 10: have robots to that point, they'll get tough on immigration,
Speaker 10: and they will pay these oligarchs a lot of money
Speaker 10: to bring factories back, but it's not going to bring
Speaker 10: back any jobs. They're just going to be incentivized to
Speaker 10: build the factories and they'll brag about the fact that
Speaker 10: they've got manufacturing in the United States, but they won't
Speaker 10: be using it to raise the standard of living of anybody.
Speaker 10: And I think that's really is what is happening and
Speaker 10: what is going to happen.
Speaker 9: I think so too, And I'd like to focus in
Speaker 9: on something that you mentioned which has to do with
Speaker 9: that word about owning things. You know, they're not concerned
Speaker 9: about that. It's not that they're well, how are people
Speaker 9: going to be able to afford these fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 9: vehicles that they're pushing out right now? They know that
Speaker 9: the end goal is for you to not own.
Speaker 2: The vehicle exactly.
Speaker 9: The end goal is for you to rent the ride,
Speaker 9: to rent everything, you know, sort of like the way
Speaker 9: that you pay for a streaming service that you can
Speaker 9: watch TV. That's what they want, Serial debt. They want
Speaker 9: to completely disconnect us, you know, the typical average American
Speaker 9: from owning anything, in order to control everything.
Speaker 2: It isn't like they didn't tell us.
Speaker 10: They constantly say, you will own nothing, right, yes, you'll
Speaker 10: be happy. And I thought about you this way, so
Speaker 10: I wanted to get you back on because, yeah, I
Speaker 10: haven't talked to Eric for a while. I saw that
Speaker 10: Portia was having problems, and Portia, of course owned by VW,
Speaker 10: and the two of them are having to pull back
Speaker 10: because they can't sell their evs. And I remember, I said,
Speaker 10: and I talked to the audience. I said, yeah, Eric's
Speaker 10: been saying this for the longest time. They should have
Speaker 10: hired him as CEO of Portia, they wouldn't have had
Speaker 10: this issue because you knew, and of course common sense
Speaker 10: would tell us that they have a huge advantage. These
Speaker 10: companies that have been making internal combustion engines for a
Speaker 10: long time, they had a huge advantage to China or
Speaker 10: to other potential competitors that had to be destroyed by
Speaker 10: saying no, now we can't use internal combustion engines. We're
Speaker 10: going to have to do the skates of the evs.
Speaker 10: And China's got the advantage with the battery technology. They've
Speaker 10: also got now a manufacturing advantage in terms of cheap
Speaker 10: available energy.
Speaker 2: Energy is so expensive in the UK they're.
Speaker 10: Shutting down all their manufacturing, and in Germany it's very expensive.
Speaker 10: They can't be cost competitive with it. But now they're saying, hey,
Speaker 10: we're going to have to pull back a little bit.
Speaker 10: We've mal invested billions of dollars in the EV industry.
Speaker 10: Nobody wants these things, nobody's buying it, So now we're
Speaker 10: going to have to pull back and try to have
Speaker 10: a cottage industry of maybe being allowed to sell some
Speaker 10: internal combustion engines. But it's going to break the back
Speaker 10: if it's even allowed of these, if they even allow
Speaker 10: them to sell a few boutique things to the rich,
Speaker 10: it's still going to break their back.
Speaker 9: It will, and this is a general problem. Stillanta switches
Speaker 9: to the parent company of the Dodge. RAMJEP and Chryst Lobal
Speaker 9: Brands announced about a week ago that they were not
Speaker 9: going to produce the electric version of the Ram fifteen
Speaker 9: hundred pickup that they had planned to bring out in
Speaker 9: twenty twenty six, because they understand that it would be
Speaker 9: a disaster, that nobody's going to buy it. And so
Speaker 9: rather than just build these things and then shipping them
Speaker 9: to dealers where they're just going to sit and then
Speaker 9: having to give them away fire sale prices, which is
Speaker 9: what Fordes had to do with the fighting, they figured
Speaker 9: it is smart thing to do is to cut bait.
Speaker 9: You know, they've practically destroyed the Dodge brand already by
Speaker 9: getting rid of the engine in the charger and getting
Speaker 9: rid of the Challenger altogether and replacing it with this
Speaker 9: electric charger, which has been an epic flop. I mean,
Speaker 9: it is even worse than the Adds, a disaster back
Speaker 9: in the fifties. It hasn't been remarked on but I mean,
Speaker 9: it's that bad. They can't sell these things. I have
Speaker 9: yet to see one in the wild. I have yet
Speaker 9: to see one on the road. They haven't even sent
Speaker 9: me one to review yet. Because you know, it's not
Speaker 9: just that they're short range and all the other problems
Speaker 9: that electric vehicles have. It's not well made. It's a problematic,
Speaker 9: problem prone vehicle that suffers endless glitches such as bricking,
Speaker 9: to the point where they have to send out a
Speaker 9: technician to try to figure out why it won't move. Now,
Speaker 9: the other thing is that you brought up I find
Speaker 9: this endlessly fascinating with regard to portion and these other
Speaker 9: manufacturers that are no longer run by car people, because
Speaker 9: any car guy would tell you that a Porsche there
Speaker 9: are intangibles. When it comes to a car like that.
Speaker 9: It's not just about how quickly it goes to zero
Speaker 9: to sixty, the fatal error and thinking, well, we'll just
Speaker 9: basically produce a Tesla that looks like a Porsche essentially,
Speaker 9: you know, and somehow we'll sell that, failing to understand
Speaker 9: that one of the big reasons that people buy Porsches
Speaker 9: is because they love that six cylinder Boxer engine, and
Speaker 9: they love the sound that it makes and the emotional,
Speaker 9: visceral feeling that you get that is lost entirely. Electric
Speaker 9: vehicles are fundamentally homogenous. Say what you will about you know,
Speaker 9: well they reply it and this and that, But they're
Speaker 9: fundamentally when you drive one, you've driven them all.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, and don't they does Porsche and some
Speaker 10: of these other sports car companies when they make their evs,
Speaker 10: do they take the Tesla approach in terms of instrumentation,
Speaker 10: because that's one of the things that is also a
Speaker 10: part of the field. You know, how does the controls feel?
Speaker 10: Does it feel solid or tendsy? I hate the idea
Speaker 10: that I've got to use a touchscreen while I'm driving.
Speaker 10: How is that safe? You know, you're supposed to use
Speaker 10: hands off of your phone or we'll give you a ticket.
Speaker 10: But hey, it's a wonderful thing if we take all
Speaker 10: the controls. Even on Tesla, you can't even adjust the
Speaker 10: direction of the air vents without using the touchpad that
Speaker 10: is attached to the dashboard.
Speaker 9: Yep, And they're all doing it now right now in
Speaker 9: the driveway. I have a brand new twenty twenty six
Speaker 9: Kia Sportage, which is a nothing special little crossover. The
Speaker 9: stickers for about twenty eight thousand dollars and it's got
Speaker 9: a full width, single sheet LCD screen for everything, you know,
Speaker 9: the main instrument cluster, and then off to its right
Speaker 9: is the thing that you have to tap and swipe
Speaker 9: through in order to operate functions such as, you know,
Speaker 9: changing the station that you're listening to. And you're right,
Speaker 9: And it's just an illustration of how disingenuous the government
Speaker 9: is because on the one hand, they say to people, ah,
Speaker 9: you can't use your cell phone and while you're driving,
Speaker 9: because it's dangerous to be looking at your phone and
Speaker 9: swiping and tapping a screen while you're trying to drive.
Speaker 9: You can't keep your eyes on the road. But it's
Speaker 9: no problem if you build the thing into the car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 10: We need to have some controls that I have to
Speaker 10: take my seat belt off in order to use.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
Speaker 9: So one of the you know, to get back to
Speaker 9: circle back to what we were talking about, the great
Speaker 9: disaster in my opinion, and it's another one is that
Speaker 9: this homogeneity of appearance in the interior of cars that
Speaker 9: has been that has been bequeathed to us by this
Speaker 9: obsession with reproducing the smartphone in your car, the look
Speaker 9: of a smartphone, So now you've lost that individuality too,
Speaker 9: instead of having this kind of neat array of gauge.
Speaker 9: Is a really good example of this. A couple of
Speaker 9: weeks ago, I had the latest Mini Cooper and it
Speaker 9: used to be that one of the cool things about
Speaker 9: the Mini Cooper, which is owned by the Germans, it's
Speaker 9: owned by BMW, but nonetheless was that they replicated the feel,
Speaker 9: the look and the function of the sixties Minis. You know,
Speaker 9: if you've ever been in one of the old models,
Speaker 9: they had the cool little chrome toggle switches, you know,
Speaker 9: and it happened vibe to it, that feel, and it
Speaker 9: was like no other car. Well, they did what everybody
Speaker 9: else is doing, and they got rid of essentially all
Speaker 9: of the physical tactile controls, the switches and knobs, and
Speaker 9: in lieu of that, they put one gigantic pie plate touchscreen,
Speaker 9: you know, in the middle, in the center of the
Speaker 9: and it looks cheap, it looks homogeneous, and it's also
Speaker 9: in a way, in my opinion, it's anti human. It's
Speaker 9: antiseptic cold.
Speaker 10: You know, they shut down the last UK factory for
Speaker 10: the Mini BMW. Did am I correct? I think they
Speaker 10: just shout, but I wouldn't be surprised I saw something
Speaker 10: because again, you can't do manufacturing in the US because
Speaker 10: hair Starmer, the Nazi doesn't want you to have any energy,
Speaker 10: so they shut it down.
Speaker 2: I don't think, you know.
Speaker 10: And it was an article out of the UK and
Speaker 10: they were saying, you know, this is something that was
Speaker 10: fundamentally British, as you point about, very any idiosyncratic, and
Speaker 10: now it's not going to be made anymore in Britain
Speaker 10: because of the cost of energy.
Speaker 2: This there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, if nothing survives any longer except the brand, you know,
Speaker 9: that's what you get labeled. Well, you know, inside all
Speaker 9: the same.
Speaker 10: When you talk about the design of these cars and
Speaker 10: how we've lost so much of this around this area.
Speaker 10: You know, we're not too far away from Pigeon Forge
Speaker 10: and last week they just had a big classic car
Speaker 10: show and that's when it really hits home. You know,
Speaker 10: when you see one of these cars, which it never
Speaker 10: really valued. I mean it might have just been like
Speaker 10: a family sedan or something, you know, fifty years ago,
Speaker 10: but you look at it, it's like, wow, that's really quirky.
Speaker 10: That's kind of interesting looking. Look at those colors, you know,
Speaker 10: and all the rest of this stuff. Look at the colors,
Speaker 10: look at the chrome. It really is entertaining to see
Speaker 10: cars that were just ordinary cars or ordinary trucks half
Speaker 10: a century ago. To see them and to see how
Speaker 10: different they were and how unique they all were. And
Speaker 10: so it really kind of drives it home. Here in
Speaker 10: the Pigeon Forge area. They have these car shows that
Speaker 10: happened frequently. The big one was last weekend. They had that.
Speaker 2: But you've got some articles at Eric.
Speaker 10: Peters autos dot com about some of the difficulties of
Speaker 10: keeping these older cars running.
Speaker 2: Talk about ethanol blues. What's that about.
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, you know, I have to, as the saying
Speaker 9: goes in the hood, cop to something which is embarrassing
Speaker 9: for me, because you know, I shouldn't all of all
Speaker 9: people just should not have happened to me. But I
Speaker 9: was lazy one day, this is several months back, probably
Speaker 9: about eight months ago, when I was out driving my
Speaker 9: old muscle car. I have a seventy six trans am
Speaker 9: and rather than go all the way into town where
Speaker 9: they have a station that sells unadulterated pure gasoline, which
Speaker 9: is normally what I use to fill the car up
Speaker 9: with because it sits sometimes for I get preoccupied with
Speaker 9: work and other things. Sometimes the car, unfortunately, will sit
Speaker 9: for several months before I have time to drive it. Anyway,
Speaker 9: I filled it up with E ten, which is only
Speaker 9: ninety percent gas and ten percent ethanol, and I left
Speaker 9: it to sit, and it sat for about three months.
Speaker 9: God helped me. You know, I deserve to be beaten
Speaker 9: for that. Anyway, I went, I went to start it,
Speaker 9: and boy, I barely got it to run, and it
Speaker 9: was going, you know, smoke pouring out of it. A
Speaker 9: long story short, I ended up having to take the
Speaker 9: carburetor off the engine and completely disassemble it and clean
Speaker 9: out the ethanol gunk inside the carburetor because the fuel
Speaker 9: had gone bad over the time that I kept it
Speaker 9: in storage. Basically, and you know this is a problem
Speaker 9: with these older vehicles because you know, my car was
Speaker 9: made in nineteen seventy six, and in nineteen seventy six,
Speaker 9: when you bought gas, you actually got gas for your money,
Speaker 9: hundred percent gasoline. Most people don't understand that most pomp
Speaker 9: gas is ten percent ethanol alcohol. And if you own
Speaker 9: a vehicle that was made before that came into being.
Speaker 9: That vehicle was not designed for alcohol. Alcohol is a
Speaker 9: different fuel than gasoline. It has different properties. It attracts
Speaker 9: water among other things. It's corrosive.
Speaker 10: Does it degrade faster than pure gasoline? Then, I guess does.
Speaker 10: That's what you're saying, because pure gasoline will be as well, right,
Speaker 10: but much longer period of time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Anybody who has outdoor power equipment knows that the real
Speaker 9: problem is if you put ethanol in a gas jugg
Speaker 9: let's say, and you put it in your shed and
Speaker 9: leave it, you know, it'll tend to accumulate water much
Speaker 9: more rapidly than regular gasoline. And you can also look
Speaker 9: at the color that change in the color, you know,
Speaker 9: as it starts to go from almost translucent to sort
Speaker 9: of a yellow and then a darker yellow color. And
Speaker 9: that's a clue not to use it.
Speaker 2: By the way, Well, that's interesting.
Speaker 10: You also talk about oil and additives and the oil
Speaker 10: that are different now for the older cars.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, it's not just the additives. Again. To get
Speaker 9: circling back to the transam, after I cleaned out the
Speaker 9: gunk from the carburetor and got it running well again,
Speaker 9: I recognized, oh boy, it's time to change the oil.
Speaker 9: So I went down to the autoparts store and I
Speaker 9: looked at the rack of oil, and the rack of
Speaker 9: oil is you know, it's the whole with the store.
Speaker 9: They have all kinds of different oil, but they didn't
Speaker 9: have any ten forty anymore, you know, and my car
Speaker 9: when it was made was designed to have ten forty oil.
Speaker 9: So that's what's specified, and that's what I use. There's
Speaker 9: a reason why there's a specification, you know, and generally speaking,
Speaker 9: it's sound policy to follow what the specification is. Yeah,
Speaker 9: but you know, if you've been to it, if you've
Speaker 9: been to a car parks store lately and looked at
Speaker 9: the oil rack, you'll see all these exotic formulations, you know,
Speaker 9: zero W fifty this and that because they thinned out
Speaker 9: the oil because it helps with compliance. You know. This
Speaker 9: is this is again, it offers the manufacturers this incremental
Speaker 9: friction reduction which translates into slightly higher gas models not
Speaker 9: anything you would notice as a vehicle owner, but when
Speaker 9: you factor it out over say half a million vehicles
Speaker 9: that you build, then it helps corporate average fuel economy
Speaker 9: with the compliance with that federal requirement and it also
Speaker 9: helps with emissions. And you know, this is the obsession
Speaker 9: now that the manufacturers have it's compliance. Their primary customer
Speaker 9: now is the government, not you. You know, you're sort
Speaker 9: of an incidental person. I'm starting to buy what the
Speaker 9: government says you're allowed to have.
Speaker 10: That's right, that's right because the government and put them
Speaker 10: out of business if they don't please the government. And
Speaker 10: so that is their primary customer. In so many cases,
Speaker 10: the only customer that they care about is the government.
Speaker 10: That's really what's going on with social media and with YouTube,
Speaker 10: I think, isn't it?
Speaker 2: It is?
Speaker 9: And so long story short, I ended up having to
Speaker 9: go online to find a good, high quality ten forty
Speaker 9: for my old muscle car. Now, previously I'd also had
Speaker 9: to go online to get there's an additive. It generally
Speaker 9: it goes by the acronym ZDDP, and it's essentially a
Speaker 9: zinc manganese additive, and it used to be present in
Speaker 9: all the store bought motor oils, but they began to
Speaker 9: take it out and now there's a much less of
Speaker 9: that additive in store bought motor oil. If you have
Speaker 9: a new or late model vehicle, it doesn't matter the
Speaker 9: engine was designed for that. But if you have an
Speaker 9: older vehicle, particularly an older American vehicle with what's called
Speaker 9: a flat tap at camshaft, so essentially an American car
Speaker 9: made before the early eighties with a V eight engine,
Speaker 9: typically it's important that you use that additive. And if
Speaker 9: you're going to be somebody to go, if you're going
Speaker 9: to go out and buy one of those classic cars
Speaker 9: from that era, it's something to be aware of because
Speaker 9: if you don't use that additive, you risk valve train failure.
Speaker 9: Those the camshaft and lifters in those engines were designed
Speaker 9: to have that anti friction additive in it, and if
Speaker 9: you use regular oil, you're very likely to have a
Speaker 9: problem that you don't want to have.
Speaker 10: What about the aftermarket, Let's say that you have some
Speaker 10: problems because you didn't have the right oil and fuel
Speaker 10: and things like that. How difficult is it to get
Speaker 10: parts for these things? I'm sure it varies depending on
Speaker 10: how rare your car is, but just something's kind of
Speaker 10: in the middle or something maybe like a you know,
Speaker 10: a fifties Chevy or something like that, is it really diffinitely?
Speaker 10: Do they have much of an aftermarket for parts with that?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Particularly with mechanical things. One of the great pluses
Speaker 9: of owning, say a General Motors product or forward product
Speaker 9: from that era is that they shared mechanical things.
Speaker 2: Engines.
Speaker 9: You know, an engine like a small block Chevy was
Speaker 9: used in practically every model vehicle that Chevrolet made, you know,
Speaker 9: from the fifties through the sixties, seven and eighties, and
Speaker 9: so there is a robust and abundant aftermarket as well
Speaker 9: as used market for those kinds of parts. You'll have
Speaker 9: sometimes difficulty finding trim pieces, you know, for an automall
Speaker 9: make you know, say it was a one year vehicle
Speaker 9: where they only had that that that grill for that
Speaker 9: one year. I have that issue because my seventy pix
Speaker 9: is a unique front end for that for that year.
Speaker 9: So yeah, sometimes, you know, these cosmetic parts will be
Speaker 9: more difficult to find. But generally, if you pick a
Speaker 9: popular vehicle that was made in large numbers from that era,
Speaker 9: you're not going to have any difficulty finding the necessary
Speaker 9: parts that you have to have in order to keep
Speaker 9: the vehicle serviceable and running.
Speaker 10: That's interesting, Yeah, because I guess I'd certainly do see
Speaker 10: a lot of classic cars right here. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 10: if you had an edsul and you got your horse collar.
Speaker 9: A grill, you can keep that going. One of the
Speaker 9: great examples of Volkswagen Beetle. You know, to this day
Speaker 9: you can easily find any part that you need to
Speaker 9: keep a Beetle running. So you know, that's a great
Speaker 9: choice if you just want a very basic, simple, completely analog,
Speaker 9: not non digital, non data mining, non connected car that
Speaker 9: anybody could service. If they're willing to turn a screw
Speaker 9: driver or a wrench and have basic hand tools, that's
Speaker 9: a great choice.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I know. There's a huge aftermarket for the Mazas,
Speaker 10: especially the first generation of Mazda that's out there. They're
Speaker 10: even doing full restorations, or at least were for a
Speaker 10: short period of time. I don't know if they are
Speaker 10: still doing it now. It's a couple of years ago.
Speaker 10: They're doing full factory spec restorations in Japan. They would
Speaker 10: do it in Japan, and the factory itself was doing it.
Speaker 10: Mazda was doing it. I don't know if they're still
Speaker 10: doing that or not. Now you got an article and
Speaker 10: I'm reaching back now. At the beginning of August, Pontiacs
Speaker 10: were cool. I thought they were as well. I was
Speaker 10: just so amazed that when they decided they're going to
Speaker 10: get rid of an entire make that they kept Buick
Speaker 10: and got rid of Pontiac. I thought that was really
Speaker 10: strange because Puick was always perceived as kind of an
Speaker 10: older person's car, or it was a family car something
Speaker 10: like that, where as Pontiac's had kind of a sporty
Speaker 10: panache to them.
Speaker 9: Right, yep, well there's a reason for that. For whatever reason,
Speaker 9: Buicks are immensely popular in China, and that's where they're
Speaker 9: believe it or not, GM sells a ton of Buicks
Speaker 9: in China, where it's considered kind of a status vehicle
Speaker 9: to have, and all the pus they sell here are
Speaker 9: made in China.
Speaker 2: Is that right? Now? We used to use Buick.
Speaker 10: We used that as a new finism for throwing up,
Speaker 10: someone says in the bathroom selling Buick's.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 9: What's really sad though, with regard to Pontiac and Pontiac's
Speaker 9: just one example of many, is that you had a
Speaker 9: once distinctive brand. And in fact, Pontiac actually was literally
Speaker 9: a car company at one time. It wasn't a marketing company.
Speaker 9: It actually had an engineering staff and they engineered their engines,
Speaker 9: which were different than Chevy engines, so when you bought
Speaker 9: a Pontiac, you weren't just buying a rebadge Chevy. There
Speaker 9: may have been commonality of the underlying platform, but it
Speaker 9: was a fundamentally different car. I'll again refer to my
Speaker 9: own car. A seventy six Pontiac trans Am is a
Speaker 9: very different car than a seventy six Camaro. Even though
Speaker 9: they share a common underthing, their drive frames are different,
Speaker 9: and that makes it worth buying the Pontiac.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 9: It's not not that one's better or worse. It's simply
Speaker 9: that it is different. And GM actually allowed Pontiac for
Speaker 9: a great deal of time to be sort of the
Speaker 9: raucous uh you know, go get them brand. You know
Speaker 9: that that had had performance and style and attitude kind
Speaker 9: of like what Dodge was before Stilantis ruined everything. Yeah,
Speaker 9: you know, Uh, they just had this great reputation for
Speaker 9: you know, not just crude muscle cars, but cool muscle cars.
Speaker 9: It had some panastu them, you know, like Catalinas and
Speaker 9: Grand Prixs and of course GTOs and everything, which were
Speaker 9: a little bit more refined than say something like a
Speaker 9: Chevelle ass which is a great car, but it's it's
Speaker 9: not the same thing as a.
Speaker 2: Gto right right, yeah, yeah, And they just.
Speaker 9: Hollowed all of this out. And this was, by the way,
Speaker 9: I think the first wave of casualties from compliance. The
Speaker 9: reason that Pontiac ended up dying was because General Motors
Speaker 9: was on enormous pressure to try to figure out how
Speaker 9: to get these different brands Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, all their
Speaker 9: different divisions that had different engines. Each one of those
Speaker 9: engines had to be certified independently by the federal government
Speaker 9: as being in compliance with the stuff. That costs a
Speaker 9: lot of money. So General Members made the decision, well,
Speaker 9: what we're going to do is corporatize. We're going to
Speaker 9: just put Chevrolet built engines in pretty much everything that
Speaker 9: we sell. They did this beginning in the eighties, and
Speaker 9: that way they only had to certify the Chevrolet engine,
Speaker 9: which they could put in a Pontiac and a Buick
Speaker 9: in an Oldsmobile, which is what they did. But by
Speaker 9: doing that, they just gutted any reason for having a
Speaker 9: Pontiac or an Oldsmobile or even a Buick. It's all
Speaker 9: you're getting is a Reskin Chevy with the identical drive train.
Speaker 2: Oh and over again.
Speaker 10: I tell people, you know, the real problem with industry
Speaker 10: and manufacturing and innovation in the United States is the government.
Speaker 10: They are the biggest obstacle. They are far more destructive
Speaker 10: of jobs and manufacturing than any company abroad or any
Speaker 10: country abroad. All this stuff about tariffs is a misdirection
Speaker 10: away from the true source of the problem, which is
Speaker 10: government regulation. And even when they're talking about the housing crisis,
Speaker 10: some people are talking about how expensive houses have become
Speaker 10: because of government regulation. But the government's not talking about
Speaker 10: doing anything that. They're talking about playing some financialization games
Speaker 10: in terms of interest rates or subsidies or this or that,
Speaker 10: but they're not going to do anything about the overregulation
Speaker 10: and all the green mandates that are there. Trump will
Speaker 10: go the UN and you'll say, you're destroying your country
Speaker 10: with all this green stuff and everything, but he won't
Speaker 10: take those regulations off of cars or homes. So we
Speaker 10: can't have nice things anymore.
Speaker 9: That's correct. We have become as a culture so habituated
Speaker 9: to the government being involved in these things, and really,
Speaker 9: I think that's the bone of the matter. Why is
Speaker 9: the government involved in car design?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 9: You know, a good example of this is you know
Speaker 9: the whole. I wrote an article about Ralph Nader a
Speaker 9: couple of weeks ago and the core of Air and
Speaker 9: his allegations about the core of air being unsafe. This
Speaker 9: doesn't matter for the courts. If the car is unsafe
Speaker 9: and effective in some way that can be handled in
Speaker 9: tort claims. That's the way these things ought to be handled,
Speaker 9: instead of this broad brush, one size fits all of
Speaker 9: the federal government decreem. You know, you will have this
Speaker 9: particular safety standard, and it doesn't matter what you know,
Speaker 9: what side effects that safety standard has, even if it
Speaker 9: ends up being less safe. Good example of that being
Speaker 9: in the mid seventies they imposed a roof crush standard
Speaker 9: on the industry. You know, the vehicle had to be
Speaker 9: able to support the weight of the vehicle that it
Speaker 9: got turned upside down. So as a result of that,
Speaker 9: you got these gigantic A, B and C pillars. Those
Speaker 9: are the things that support the roof. The A pillars
Speaker 9: at the basic shield be in the middle and C
Speaker 9: in the back instead of being you know, these these
Speaker 9: in and graceful things that you could easily look around
Speaker 9: and you had this expansive view of the outside world
Speaker 9: around you. Now you're essentially in a tank. You know,
Speaker 9: I drive new cars all the time. Feels like you're
Speaker 9: in a tank. You have essentially no visibility, often to
Speaker 9: the right and to the left because of this enormous
Speaker 9: B pillar that's there to support the weight of the
Speaker 9: vehicle if you roll it over. The problem is now
Speaker 9: when you pull out from a side street, you're likely
Speaker 9: to get t boned because that thing is created that
Speaker 9: blind spot. You didn't see the car that was coming
Speaker 9: at you from the side.
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 10: You know, how did we wind up still being able
Speaker 10: to keep convertibles with that? I know I've got on
Speaker 10: my convertibles.
Speaker 2: I got some really huge A pillars on them, but.
Speaker 9: Very cleverly, like you know, with regard to some of them.
Speaker 9: You know, with Maza in the audi As, you know, they
Speaker 9: built a roll bar into the backs of the seats. Basically,
Speaker 9: that was one way that they did it, and some
Speaker 9: of the manufacturers took that a step farther with pop
Speaker 9: up roll bars. You know, Mercedes did that with some
Speaker 9: of their highest vertibles, and they also managed to reinforce
Speaker 9: the structure of the windshield in a way that made
Speaker 9: it supportive of the vehicle if it were to roll over.
Speaker 9: But you know, it's it's just the point is, the
Speaker 9: government's involvement in this stuff is just so insufferably obnoxious.
Speaker 9: And to put a finer point on it, you know,
Speaker 9: we talk about the government as if it's sort of
Speaker 9: this entity out there, and I like to I like
Speaker 9: to point out to be what you're really talking about
Speaker 9: is a relative handful of micromanaging bureaucrats who are the
Speaker 9: weavils within these regulatory bodies. You know, go to the
Speaker 9: dot or its how many people work there? A few thousand.
Speaker 9: So you've got a few thousand people in these regulatory
Speaker 9: bodies who are dictating to three hundred and thirty million people,
Speaker 9: you know, the design of the cars that they're allowed
Speaker 9: to have.
Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly right. I just you know, and we have
Speaker 10: spinalless politicians who let the bureaucrats rule over us and
Speaker 10: never do anything to push back against them.
Speaker 9: And that's my design. You know, they've af floaded this.
Speaker 9: They'll say Congress in particular, they'll say, well, I can't
Speaker 9: do anything about it, because you know, the bureaucracy is
Speaker 9: responsible for this, right, You're the ones that offloaded their
Speaker 9: responsibility under the constitution to legislate. You know, there's legislation
Speaker 9: and there's regulation, and regulation has the force and effect
Speaker 9: of law. Yet it's not voted for. Cheans accountability. You know,
Speaker 9: you can't out you can't vote out of office an
Speaker 9: EPA apparature.
Speaker 10: You know, they claim that they're not responsible for it,
Speaker 10: even though, as you point out, they delegate this to them.
Speaker 10: Then you know, something gets really bad and there's a
Speaker 10: huge outroar uproar about that, then they can come in
Speaker 10: and say, uh, okay, we're going to save you from
Speaker 10: these bad.
Speaker 2: Guys, the regulator. So it's a very calculated political ploy,
Speaker 2: isn't it. And I think we got do We have
Speaker 2: a couple of comments of questions for him.
Speaker 3: Good to talk to you here got citizen driver Tocaca
Speaker 3: says Eric.
Speaker 6: Would he'd like you to speak on.
Speaker 3: The fact they're trying to pass legislation so you'll be
Speaker 3: able to ensure a car that's over twenty five years old,
Speaker 3: which is just utterly ridiculous because of course we know
Speaker 3: that twenty five years ago all calls cars were death traps.
Speaker 6: People were dying left and right.
Speaker 3: It's only within the past few years that the cars
Speaker 3: have become safe at all and people can drive him
Speaker 3: without living in constant fear.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And on that same line, Eric, California just you know,
Speaker 10: they wanted to missions. I think that they had there
Speaker 10: and it was like a thirty five year moving average
Speaker 10: and they were trying to adjust that a little bit
Speaker 10: and they shut it down. It's this huge blow. It's
Speaker 10: Jay Leno's law. Maybe you heard about that.
Speaker 9: Purely, purely punitive and vindictive. Yeah, Leno I think learned
Speaker 9: a valuable lesson. I think, in his innocence might have
Speaker 9: believed that rational considerations and reasonable considerations might cause the
Speaker 9: California legislature and regulatory apparat to agree that, yeah, you know,
Speaker 9: vehicles that are thirty five years old are constitute a
Speaker 9: very small minority of the vehicles that are in use
Speaker 9: as daily transportation, and so yeah, we'll exempt them, as
Speaker 9: most states do, from having to go in from emissions testing.
Speaker 9: This is purely punitive because they want to push these
Speaker 9: cars off the road. And it's particularly egregious in California
Speaker 9: because it's not even a matter of whether you pass
Speaker 9: the tailpipe sniffer test, you know, when you bring your
Speaker 9: car into the inspection station and they put the probe
Speaker 9: in the tailplay and in most states, if it passes that,
Speaker 9: you pass and you get your sticker. In California, doesn't
Speaker 9: matter whether you pass the tailpipe sniffer test if any
Speaker 9: of the factory original emissions equipment has been tampered with,
Speaker 9: altered or removed. Now what that means. You're talking about
Speaker 9: the thirty five year old car, or how about a
Speaker 9: fifty year old car, and maybe the original smog pump
Speaker 9: or EGR system had to be replaced because it's a
Speaker 9: thirty five year old vehicle. Thirty five year old? Well
Speaker 9: what if there is no aftermarket replacement? And more finally,
Speaker 9: in California, every aftermarket replacement has to have a California
Speaker 9: Air Resources Board number, a certification that it's been approved
Speaker 9: by CAR. So if it doesn't have that, even if
Speaker 9: everything works, and even if the emissions are with inspect,
Speaker 9: they will still fail the vehicle on the basis of
Speaker 9: failing the visual and not having the CARB approved replacement part.
Speaker 9: So this is purely, purely punitive and vindictive. And I
Speaker 9: do see this sort of thing expanding. You know, they're
Speaker 9: going to start targeting cars and they're going to say
Speaker 9: we can't permit vehicles that don't have the latest advanced
Speaker 9: driver assistance technology to be on the road, you know,
Speaker 9: because of the threat that they present and the people
Speaker 9: are going to die. That's the sort of thing that
Speaker 9: I foresee that they're going to start doing in the
Speaker 9: next few years.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah. And it's kind of interesting too because
Speaker 10: when I was doing modifications to Mamiada about seven years ago,
Speaker 10: the companies I was getting the aftermarket parts on which
Speaker 10: were taking those parts that you just mentioned and pitching
Speaker 10: them completely. But they were based in California, and I thought,
Speaker 10: you know, this is kind of interesting. They can't sell
Speaker 10: their own product. Even at that time, many of their
Speaker 10: things were not CARB compliant and they couldn't sell them
Speaker 10: and two people who lived in California only to people
Speaker 10: who lived outside of California.
Speaker 2: But it's getting much much worse, you know.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 9: Common thread that runs through all of this is that
Speaker 9: there's no requirement that tangible harm be produced, in other words,
Speaker 9: a victim. A really fine example of this is the
Speaker 9: crucification of Volkswagen, and I revisited that issue recently in
Speaker 9: a column. It's been about ten years now since Volkswagen
Speaker 9: got raked over the coals for cheating on federal emission
Speaker 9: certification tests. And you know, at the time and even
Speaker 9: to this day, I continue to ask, well, who was
Speaker 9: hurt by any of this? All the The only thing
Speaker 9: that happened was that the government was affronted. You know, Volkswagen,
Speaker 9: like every other vehicle manufacturer, programmed its vehicles to pass
Speaker 9: the test. That's the whole point. They made it so
Speaker 9: they would pass that. And not only this is an
Speaker 9: important point, not just the federal emission certification test. Nobody
Speaker 9: ever disputed these vehicles when they were bought and put
Speaker 9: into service and in states where people had to go
Speaker 9: to get emissions testing, you know, at the state level,
Speaker 9: and get the tailpipe probe put in, they all passed.
Speaker 9: The only kerfluffle happened after this independent lab subjected the
Speaker 9: cars to an entirely different test that found that, under
Speaker 9: certain operating conditions, oh my gosh, the vehicle will emit
Speaker 9: slightly higher, fractionally higher amounts of oxides of nitrogen, which
Speaker 9: is a regulated emission for EPA. And the amount was minuscule.
Speaker 9: It was literally a fraction of a fraction, in other words,
Speaker 9: something that was meaningless in terms of whether it was
Speaker 9: hurting anybody, it didn't matter.
Speaker 10: It was so draconian. You and I talked about this
Speaker 10: many times. It was so draconian that it was clear
Speaker 10: that it wasn't about what they said it was about.
Speaker 10: It was really about, as we said, getting rid of diesel.
Speaker 10: I mean, they had criminal charges against executives. It was
Speaker 10: something like four billion dollars if I remember correctly. It
Speaker 10: was outrageous what they were doing. And we talked about that,
Speaker 10: how you didn't see anything at all like that with
Speaker 10: the Takata airbags that were blowing up spontaneously and killing people,
Speaker 10: or with the pinto you know, and the deliberate exclusion
Speaker 10: of some devices that would keep that explosion from happening.
Speaker 10: So it was something that we've never seen before. Even
Speaker 10: when human lives were at staken, there was nobody that
Speaker 10: was harmed by any of this stuff.
Speaker 9: Well, the reason why they did it, though, it wasn't
Speaker 9: just that it was diesel. It was that Volkswagen uniquely
Speaker 9: was selling a lineup of very affordable diesels as some
Speaker 9: as twenty fifteen. You know, it's ten years ago. Not
Speaker 9: even you could have bought a brand new Volkswagen jetto
Speaker 9: with a TDI engine for about twenty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 9: Now that whole car had a seven hundred mile driving
Speaker 9: range and would get fifty plus miles per gallon on
Speaker 9: the highway and could probably be counted on to go
Speaker 9: for three hundred thousand miles or more. Now, it's a
Speaker 9: curious coincidence, isn't it that around the same time the
Speaker 9: Volkswagen started getting raped over the coals over this emissions
Speaker 9: cheating thing. That's when the big push for evs began
Speaker 9: right around that time, around twenty thirteen. And I think
Speaker 9: the reason that they went after Volkswagen was because they
Speaker 9: could not abide the comparison. You know, on the one hand,
Speaker 9: twenty two thousand dollars Jetta TDI seven hundred mile range,
Speaker 9: refill it in three minutes, keep it for twenty years,
Speaker 9: drive it for three hundred thousand miles. On the other hand,
Speaker 9: Tesla Model three, fifty thousand dollars car that goes maybe
Speaker 9: two hundred and seventy miles and is going to need
Speaker 9: a new fifteen thousand dollars battery after eight years, it
Speaker 9: just would have been a harder sell. So they had
Speaker 9: to go after Volkswagen. I think, you know, if Volkswagen
Speaker 9: had continued making engines like that, other manufacturers would have
Speaker 9: started to do the same. In fact, Chevy did. Chevy Lady,
Speaker 9: you could get a Malibu diesel for a little while there,
Speaker 9: and other manufacturers would have done it because it's appealing.
Speaker 9: I mean, I like the idea of a brand new
Speaker 9: twenty two thousand dollars car that gets fifty something miles
Speaker 9: per galland seven hundred miles. You know, diesel is great.
Speaker 9: You know, it's a wonderful option for people who want
Speaker 9: a durable, long legged, long lived vehicle. So naturally they
Speaker 9: had to take that away from us.
Speaker 10: Yeah, checked all the boxes in terms of competition with
Speaker 10: the electric vehicles. As you point out, is that durability, reliability, affordability, range,
Speaker 10: It was all there.
Speaker 2: So I had to go, It really had to go.
Speaker 10: They've got an agenda and they don't want you to
Speaker 10: have something that you can afford. They don't want you
Speaker 10: to have a long range because they want to keep
Speaker 10: you on a short rope with they're smart city and
Speaker 10: they're probably geo fencing to make sure that you can't
Speaker 10: buy anything outside of your approved city and that type
Speaker 10: of thing.
Speaker 9: It's just amazing, really it's a really important thing for
Speaker 9: people to understand, and it's a difficult thing to understand
Speaker 9: because the undercurrent of malevolence that's there is difficult for
Speaker 9: people to come to grips with. But it's almost axiomatic.
Speaker 9: But you cannot have an authoritarian system in which people
Speaker 9: are still free to move about as they like on
Speaker 9: their own initiative, in their own vehicle, unsupervised, unmonitored, and uncontrolled.
Speaker 9: In order for them to impose a truly authoritarian system
Speaker 9: on Americans, they have got to get control over transportation
Speaker 9: and particularly personal transportation. And when you filter everything that's
Speaker 9: going on through that, everything becomes comprehensible.
Speaker 2: That's right. I tell people all the time. The TSA
Speaker 2: is a transportation security agency, right, it's not the airport
Speaker 2: security agency. And they want to do that.
Speaker 10: They want to eliminate the private vehicles so that everything
Speaker 10: becomes like the airport. If you like that, certainly you'll
Speaker 10: be able to keep that authoritarian government. If you like
Speaker 10: your authoritarian government, you can keep it, or they'll keep
Speaker 10: it for you.
Speaker 3: With something like geofencing and the tesla's they can just
Speaker 3: simply section you off, say oh no, you're car, just
Speaker 3: simply will not go there. You turning that way. No,
Speaker 3: we're going to autopilot you back into your safe zone.
Speaker 6: We're not allowed over here. You're not allowed to go
Speaker 6: this far.
Speaker 10: And anyone have enough range really to get out of
Speaker 10: there anyway. You know, it's fifteen minute city.
Speaker 9: That's about how creepy it is. And it's incredible, al Blase.
Speaker 9: So many Americans are they think even if they're aware
Speaker 9: of it, they will say, oh, well, that would never happen.
Speaker 9: They would never do that to us.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, Eric, about ten years ago, I went
Speaker 10: to an auto show in Texas to start around up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a long Star round Up.
Speaker 10: It's a real big classic show, and I think it's
Speaker 10: got to be an America made car, and it's got
Speaker 10: to be They don't include the it's got to be older.
Speaker 2: Than the Mustang's older than sixty four.
Speaker 10: Sixty five is a cutoff, right, So they didn't want
Speaker 10: to take it at that point.
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of modification to.
Speaker 10: Them, and a lot of rat rods that are out there,
Speaker 10: you know, really grungy cars that people have kept going
Speaker 10: and modified. I want to and I talked to all
Speaker 10: these people and they were all different ages. You know,
Speaker 10: people had cars they were seventeen or eighteen years old
Speaker 10: that they had fixed up up to people who retirees,
Speaker 10: and I asked them, all, do you think the government
Speaker 10: is going to make private cars go away and gasoline
Speaker 10: cars go away?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, they all said.
Speaker 10: And to a man, they pretty much all said, including
Speaker 10: like seventeen eight year olds, it will never happen in
Speaker 10: my lifetime. It's like, man, the disconnect that was there
Speaker 10: at that time was just that was the most You know,
Speaker 10: the cars are interesting, but the most interesting thing was
Speaker 10: how these people had lied to themselves about the government's
Speaker 10: intentions and its abilities to rob them of their mobility.
Speaker 10: It truly is amazing.
Speaker 9: The intentions were always there. I think the technology has
Speaker 9: made it much more feasible to fast track things. They
Speaker 9: wouldn't have been able to do what they had wanted
Speaker 9: to do for fifty years, you know, back in the
Speaker 9: eighties and nineties, or even the early two thousands, But now,
Speaker 9: particularly within the last ten years, they have now the
Speaker 9: ability to utterly and completely control vehicles to a degree
Speaker 9: that most people would not believe until they have to
Speaker 9: deal with it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 9: I give various examples. One is the illusion that you
Speaker 9: have in a modern car that you're controlling how fast
Speaker 9: you drive.
Speaker 7: You're not.
Speaker 9: When you push down on the accelerator pedal, all you're
Speaker 9: doing is feeding data to the computer. You're not connected
Speaker 9: to the engine, to a cable system and a throttle
Speaker 9: any longer. You're sending data to a computer, and the
Speaker 9: computer then is telling the engine, okay, increase the RPMs
Speaker 9: or to a certain amount to give you the illusion
Speaker 9: that you're the one who's controlling the car. I had
Speaker 9: a Ford expedition a couple of weeks ago, and I
Speaker 9: was this is a big vehicle, big SUV, and I'm
Speaker 9: trying to back the thing up in my driveway. Now
Speaker 9: I've lived where I lived for twenty years. I know
Speaker 9: my driveway. There's a big bush at the one side
Speaker 9: of my driveway, and I know, because again I've been
Speaker 9: doing it for twenty years, exactly how far I can
Speaker 9: back up before I hit that bush. But the forward
Speaker 9: slams on the brakes a couple of feet or I
Speaker 9: get anywhere near the bush. Because again safety but you know,
Speaker 9: read dig down and to think about what that means.
Speaker 9: The vehicle can decide that it's going to stop. Yeah,
Speaker 9: you know, ray your will. It's going to exercise control.
Speaker 9: And bit by bit they're doing this. I had an
Speaker 9: article look the other day about this speed limit assistance technology.
Speaker 9: I love how they call it assistance technology, Like you
Speaker 9: didn't know you were driving faster than the speed limit,
Speaker 9: and now the car is well, oh, thank you so much,
Speaker 9: car for telling me that I'm driving faster than the
Speaker 9: speed limit. And you know, first they try to shame you.
Speaker 9: There's a little icon that pops up in the dashboard
Speaker 9: that shows us a speed limit sign and it goes red.
Speaker 9: You know you're driving faster than the speed limit. And
Speaker 9: sometimes there's a chime that companies it. And this is
Speaker 9: weirdly standard now on all the vehicles. Why is that.
Speaker 9: You know, it's not optional for people who need assistance.
Speaker 9: If I need assistance, oh I love that, I'll buy
Speaker 9: some assistance. No, they're making it standard because what they're
Speaker 9: doing is in classic Fabian socialist style, slowly, bit by bit,
Speaker 9: you know, getting people used to this stuff, and the
Speaker 9: next step will be not just assisting you to know
Speaker 9: that you're driving faster than the speed limit, it will
Speaker 9: be preventing you from driving any faster than the speed
Speaker 9: limit by using the drive by wire throttle by using
Speaker 9: the electrically controlled braking system to prevent you from doing it.
Speaker 9: And what they're doing with that is making driving such
Speaker 9: a it's no longer fun. You feel like you're guarented.
Speaker 9: You feel like you're a kindergartener again. And that's deliberately.
Speaker 9: They want you to just say, you know, the heck
Speaker 9: with it?
Speaker 2: Why am I?
Speaker 9: Why am I signing up for a seven hundred dollars
Speaker 9: a month loan for the next six years. I don't
Speaker 9: even control the car. The car nags me and pesters
Speaker 9: me all the time, it tells me what to do.
Speaker 9: The heck with it. I'm just going to get my
Speaker 9: app on my phone and I'll tap it and I'll
Speaker 9: get my ride.
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 10: The comedian and British comedian Ron Atkinson who plays mister
Speaker 10: Bean Okay, he was an engineer before he became a comedian,
Speaker 10: and he's got a lot he loves cars, and he's
Speaker 10: got a lot of very expensive hypercars. And he said, well,
Speaker 10: you don't really drive these so much as you manage them.
Speaker 10: There's so much drive by wire stuff in it. And
Speaker 10: I remember when Michael Hastings was killed and I think
Speaker 10: he was killed. I don't think it was an accident,
Speaker 10: and he was. He had rented a late model Mercedes
Speaker 10: when that happened, and he was he thought that people
Speaker 10: were after him with the government because of what he
Speaker 10: was reporting on, and he'd had a lot of death
Speaker 10: threats from the government, and so he went out to
Speaker 10: his car. His landlady said he would go out to
Speaker 10: the car and he'd look underneath it and all this
Speaker 10: other kind of stuff to see if there was some
Speaker 10: kind of a bomb on it. But they you know,
Speaker 10: when you have the when the computer is able to
Speaker 10: control your acceleration, you're breaking, you're steering, and all these
Speaker 10: other things, it's very, very easy to assassinate somebody that way.
Speaker 10: And they have illustrated over and over again at the
Speaker 10: black Hat conference in Vegas how easy it is to
Speaker 10: hack one of these cars as well, because they're also online,
Speaker 10: so everything is under computer control, and it's also online,
Speaker 10: so any bad actor, especially the government, can jump into
Speaker 10: this thing and do whatever they wish. They can shut
Speaker 10: you down, or if they want to, they can try
Speaker 10: to make it look like.
Speaker 2: It was an accident. This is the type of thing
Speaker 2: we've been seeing for a long time. Yeah, you had
Speaker 2: your article.
Speaker 10: When you're talking about the insurance, when will people decide
Speaker 10: to stop paying? And you talk about the fact that
Speaker 10: you've got an antique car, you drive it three hundred
Speaker 10: miles a year and stay within about a ten mile
Speaker 10: radius of your home in rural Virginia, and why should
Speaker 10: you have to pay insurance for that? That should be
Speaker 10: your decision for that. But of course it is this
Speaker 10: corporate government fascism that we see over and over again
Speaker 10: where they force you to buy their product, isn't.
Speaker 9: It It is? And now they are using insurance to
Speaker 9: price people out of vehicle ownership.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Everybody you probably had this happen to you as well,
Speaker 9: has had their premium increase by on average twenty five
Speaker 9: to thirty percent, and in some cases fifty percent or
Speaker 9: more for absolutely no reason having to do with anything
Speaker 9: they did in terms of having an accident, filing a
Speaker 9: claim anything, or even a speeding ticket. You get the
Speaker 9: notice in the mail and all of a sudden, your
Speaker 9: premium is, you know, double what it was the year prior.
Speaker 9: Why because they can, you know, because they don't have
Speaker 9: an option to say no. Imagine what a cup of
Speaker 9: coffee would cost if the government said you have to
Speaker 9: go to Starbucks. You can by a cup of Starbucks
Speaker 9: coffee at least once a week. You know, we'd be
Speaker 9: paying ten dollars for a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
Speaker 2: That's exactly where we are.
Speaker 9: That's essentially where we are with this. And I think,
Speaker 9: you know, we are getting to a point. You know,
Speaker 9: I have my ear to the ground about things like this,
Speaker 9: and it's also my own personal opinion that everybody's feeling
Speaker 9: pinched because of the cost of everything.
Speaker 10: Everything that's going up, and they don't include it and
Speaker 10: the evaluation of inflation either, do they this?
Speaker 9: And so you know, when it comes down to a
Speaker 9: choice between you know, obeying the law and handing a
Speaker 9: check over to these insurance mobsters for a large sum
Speaker 9: of money that could be used to pay your electric bill,
Speaker 9: or you know, for your family, what's the choice. Well,
Speaker 9: you know, probably a lot of people are going to say,
Speaker 9: you know what, I'm going to buy food for my
Speaker 9: family instead of sending this check to All State or Geicoe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so what.
Speaker 9: You know, I mean that the illegal aliens can with
Speaker 9: impunity because they you know, they can't. They can't get
Speaker 9: blood out of a stone can they know they don't
Speaker 9: have any access disease. So and I'm not I'm really
Speaker 9: I'm not. I'm not disparaging people who are in that
Speaker 9: category because I understand people are trying to improve their
Speaker 9: lives and all of that. Just trying to make the
Speaker 9: point that there are no consequences for those people. Know,
Speaker 9: if they want to go out and drive without insurance
Speaker 9: and hit you and wreck you, they'll walk away from
Speaker 9: it and the state will do nothing about it. But
Speaker 9: you and I we don't hit anybody, you know, we
Speaker 9: haven't caused any problems for anybody. But we didn't hand
Speaker 9: over the money to the mobsters. They'll cancel your driver's license,
Speaker 9: they'll cancel your registration, and if they catch you driving,
Speaker 9: they'll you know, impound your vehicle and potentially arrest you
Speaker 9: for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's absolutely right. Yeah, you're absolutely right. That's the
Speaker 2: way it works.
Speaker 10: It's a two tier standard already in many different areas
Speaker 10: that we've got in this country. Well, well at a time,
Speaker 10: is always great having you on, Eric. Anything you want
Speaker 10: to tell us about what's happening with your website.
Speaker 9: Oh, well, nothing more than what's on there.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 9: I posted an article this morning. It's more of a
Speaker 9: thought piece about how we're all kind of in this
Speaker 9: bad marriage situation in this country.
Speaker 10: You know, Yeah, Trump's is the guy who has bad marriages.
Speaker 10: He specializes in that, doesn't he.
Speaker 9: Well, isn't it interesting that for the most part, most
Speaker 9: people will say, okay, you know, if you have a
Speaker 9: situation where a couple just can't work it out, they're
Speaker 9: at odds. You know, nobody would say, well, they have
Speaker 9: to stay married and be miserable for the rest of
Speaker 9: their lives. People accept that sometimes marriages don't work and
Speaker 9: you know, there's a divorce. It's not a happy thing,
Speaker 9: but it's better than forcing people who can't live together
Speaker 9: to live together. Well, politically, somehow that seems to be
Speaker 9: off the table. Why is that? You know, we're at
Speaker 9: a point in this country with the left, right and
Speaker 9: just people who want to be left alone chiefly versus
Speaker 9: those won't leave people alone. Why can't we just figure
Speaker 9: out a way to peacefully separate ourselves and that way
Speaker 9: end this fractiousness, you know, and and just instead of
Speaker 9: going to blows with each other, and that includes blows
Speaker 9: at the ballot box and trying to constantly figure out
Speaker 9: a way to elect our guy to impose our will
Speaker 9: on the other side, how about we just figure out
Speaker 9: a way to go our own way and live and
Speaker 9: let live. The problem is that probably half the country
Speaker 9: doesn't want to live and let live.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I've talked about that. You know, if you look
Speaker 10: at the Scandinavian countries, they have split apart and joined
Speaker 10: together in various combinations many times, and you know they
Speaker 10: would peacefully join together, peacefully break apart, and there was never.
Speaker 2: A war over it. We don't have a government like that.
Speaker 10: You know. When Marjorie Taylor Green started talking about having
Speaker 10: a national divorce, I said, yeah, the problem is is
Speaker 10: that we're married to an abusive spouse who once he
Speaker 10: finds out that we want to divorce him, he's going
Speaker 10: to come kill us.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 9: Ye that I recurrently use because I think it's very
Speaker 9: pithy and it says it all. And it's a picture
Speaker 9: of Abraham Lincoln and the caption reads, if you try
Speaker 9: to leave me, I'll kill you.
Speaker 10: That's right, you know, the ultimate abuse of the household.
Speaker 10: That's exactly the case, especially in a country that was
Speaker 10: formed over the right of secession and self government. That
Speaker 10: was the basis of America's existence from the very beginning.
Speaker 10: How could you deny that to somebody. I'm always all
Speaker 10: about secession, and I would say, if at first you
Speaker 10: don't seceed, try try again.
Speaker 2: Maybe my model for everybot it's.
Speaker 9: A safety valve, and everybody on board with that.
Speaker 10: And of course there is one other thing we can do.
Speaker 10: And people at Tenth Amendment Talked Center have talked about
Speaker 10: this a lot. There is another avenue of this, and
Speaker 10: that is nullification. That is kind of the middle point.
Speaker 10: We say, well, we're just going tonore what you have
Speaker 10: to say. So there is nullification and non commandeering and
Speaker 10: short of and that effectively can allow you to secede
Speaker 10: issue by issue if you've got people at the state
Speaker 10: level who have the backbone to do that type of thing,
Speaker 10: and that's the big if we don't because they're all
Speaker 10: on the take. I don't think that we're going to
Speaker 10: get this country back until we have a catastrophic economic
Speaker 10: system that's going to destroy the ability of our government
Speaker 10: with US dollars or reserve currency to just print money
Speaker 10: out of thin air. Until that disappears, we're going to
Speaker 10: have the same type of situation.
Speaker 9: We do have one power under our control, and it
Speaker 9: is to simply not participate, to opt out on our own.
Speaker 9: You know. With regard to new cars, if you don't
Speaker 9: want to be data mined and controlled, well, don't buy
Speaker 9: a new car. You know, keep the older car that
Speaker 9: you have, Get an older car, fix it up. You know,
Speaker 9: during the pandemic, don't wear a mask, don't go along,
Speaker 9: don't comply. If enough of us as individuals, you don't
Speaker 9: have to join an organization, just abide. It's in your
Speaker 9: own moral compass. And you know, if this is wrong,
Speaker 9: I don't like this, I'm not going along with it.
Speaker 9: That's it. I'm just taking my stand. I'm not going
Speaker 9: to be a cattle and go along moving with the
Speaker 9: herd just because that's what the herd does.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'd been thrown out of so many different places
Speaker 10: and restaurants in Texas. I had to move to Tennessee
Speaker 10: because I promised these people I would never be back
Speaker 10: because of the way.
Speaker 2: That they insisted that I wear a mask. And I left.
Speaker 10: Then I said, and I won't be back, and I
Speaker 10: kept my word by moving to State. That's the only
Speaker 10: way I could do it. It's always great to have
Speaker 10: you on Eric, Eric petersautos dot com. Folks, I had
Speaker 10: great sight for liberty and mobility and a little bit
Speaker 10: of nostalgia now as well, because that's how the only
Speaker 10: way we're going to be able to keep our mobility
Speaker 10: is with classic cars. Thank you, Eric, always great to
Speaker 10: talk to you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Travis, Thank you Eric, always a pleasure speaking
Speaker 3: to you. And before we go, ACS A B. Thank
Speaker 3: you so much for that. We really do appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Says so awesome DK and family. Thanks for everything. I
Speaker 3: wish I could do so much more.
Speaker 2: Well, Thank you so much.
Speaker 9: A C.
Speaker 2: S A B. Thank you.
Speaker 3: It really is because of your support that we're able
Speaker 3: to continue to do this and we really cannot thank
Speaker 3: you enough. Thank you very much, folks, Thank you all
Speaker 3: very much. God lest you all have a wonderful rest
Speaker 3: of your day.
Speaker 10: Yes, the common man, they created common Core, dumbed down
Speaker 10: our children. They created common past, track and control us.
Speaker 10: They're Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing
Speaker 10: and the communist future. They see the common man as simple,
Speaker 10: unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity
Speaker 10: created in the image of God. That is what we
Speaker 10: have in common. That is what they want to take away.
Speaker 10: Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire
Speaker 10: to know everything about us, while they hide everything from us.
Speaker 10: It's time to turn that around and expose what they
Speaker 10: want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll
