Donnie is Mayor of New York. 7 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.039 Now what comes next for the Big Apple? And we 8 00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.640 have Cash Pattel in hot water but pointing out that 9 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.599 an FBI director has already been fired for the same 10 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:09.920 kind of behavior. So why isn't cash a good question? 11 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.879 We're going to take a look at that and more 12 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.319 on today's show, So stay with us. We'll be right 13 00:01:15.359 --> 00:02:12.520 back with some even bigger news. Hello, and welcome to 14 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.319 the show today. As I said, I've got bigger news. 15 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.680 And the big news is it's little Man's birthday. He 16 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.520 is one year old. He is one year old today, 17 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.039 So say happy birthday everyone if you would. 18 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.000 He is a handful. 19 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.360 As you can tell, he's gotten a lot bigger and 20 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.159 a lot more fun. But I just want to say 21 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.759 thank you all for all the kind words over the years. 22 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.039 We really do appreciate it, and he appreciates it too, 23 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:39.639 I'm sure. 24 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.560 So that is the big news. 25 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.560 I will now pass him off so. 26 00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.599 We can get on to the real news. 27 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.000 So thank you all for joining us today. As I said, 28 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.800 we're going to start with Zorron Mom, Donnie. 29 00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.400 I can't. 30 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.599 It's hard to tell if this is just the logical 31 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:08.639 progression for the politics of New York. And I want 32 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.680 to apologize if I offended anyone the other day. I 33 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.439 don't actually have any real dislike for New York. 34 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:16.960 I just have. 35 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:25.120 Simple, uh beliefs, not that I actually hate anyone from 36 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.759 New York. I just like to be a little bit inflammatory. 37 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.199 I find it more fun to be bombastic, So I apologize. 38 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.280 If you're from New York. I don't hate your city. 39 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.039 I don't hate you. I'm sorry if that was a problem. 40 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:39.240 But here we are. 41 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.400 Socialist Zorn Mom Donnie becomes first Muslim mayor of New York, 42 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.280 and they're focusing on the fact he's Muslim instead of 43 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.840 the fact he's socialist, it seems in this article. But 44 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.080 they're both problems, aren't they. It's not simply a one 45 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.240 or the other thing. Both of these are issues of 46 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:01.800 These are things you look at and you go, I 47 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.560 don't think this is right for America. Socialist zo Raun 48 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.000 Mom Donni has been elected the first Muslim mayor of 49 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.599 New York in a political earthquake that puts the far 50 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.319 left in charge of America's largest, wealthiest city. So he's 51 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:13.599 the first Muslim mayor. 52 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.680 As though the far left hasn't been in charge of 53 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.120 New York for a long long time. 54 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.959 Yeah, the conservative people of New York have been suffering. 55 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.519 I know, you have a friend that lives in New 56 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.399 York State, not New York City, and he has long 57 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:36.160 been well, maybe not apoplectic, but unhappy with the governance 58 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:36.879 of the state. 59 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:38.480 Mom. 60 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.360 Donnie, who becomes the big apples first Muslim mayor, defeated 61 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.920 former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Republican, Curtis 62 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.959 Sliwa in a race that became a massive flashpoint in 63 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.199 national politics, taking over fifty percent of vote. And people 64 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.839 are not happy with Curtis Sliwa. They're very unhappy. In fact, 65 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:03.639 people are railing at him on of course, some of 66 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.600 this is to do with Israel's policies. 67 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:08.639 In fact, a. 68 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.639 Lot of people have become aware of what's going on 69 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.399 in the Middle East over the last you know, year 70 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.600 or so, and they're looking at the subservience then a 71 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.480 lot of politicians showed to the state of Israel and 72 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:27.279 going why, why in the world would you actually do that? 73 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.199 What do they do for us? 74 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.720 And this led to some actual backlash in the New 75 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:38.920 York City race. We actually have that clip, I believe of. Yeah, here, 76 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:40.680 let's take a look at this. 77 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.560 This is a good a good indicator. 78 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.240 The first Ford visit by a mayor of New York 79 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.920 is always considered significant. Where would you go first? 80 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:51.600 Where would you go? 81 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.319 That's right, this sounds. 82 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:55.360 First visit. 83 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.399 I would visit the Holy Land, the Holy Land. 84 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.560 Given the hostility and the Semitism that has been shown 85 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.839 in New York, I would go to Israel. Mister Tilson, 86 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:06.399 where would you go? 87 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.759 Yeah, I'd make my fourth trip to Israel, the fourth 88 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.000 trip trip to Ukraine, two of our greatest allies that's 89 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.600 fighting on the front lines of the global war on terror. 90 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.680 Mister mom Donnie, I would stay in New York City. 91 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.240 My plans are to address New Yorkers across the five 92 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.600 boroughs and focus on that. Mister mom Donnie, can I 93 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:24.160 just jump in? 94 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.240 Would you visit Israel? 95 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:27.360 Mayor? 96 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.639 I will be doing as the mayor. I'll be standing 97 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.279 up for Jewish New Yorkers, and I'll be meeting them 98 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.759 wherever they are across the Five boroughs, whether that's in 99 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.600 their synagogues and temples, or at their homes or at 100 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.920 the subway platform, because ultimately we need to focus on 101 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:41.279 delivering on their concerns. 102 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:42.120 Just yes or no. 103 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:43.199 Do you believe in it? 104 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:44.079 Yeah? 105 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.959 Well, look at how easy he had it. Look at 106 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.439 how easy they made it for him. Where are you 107 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.560 gonna go? Oh, I'm going to the Holy Land. I'll 108 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.240 be taking my fourth trip to the Holy Land. Then 109 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.199 I'm going to Ukraine. He simply says, I'm gonna speak 110 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.279 to New Yorkers. I'm going to meet them here, I'm 111 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.360 going to address their issues. I'm going to talk to them. 112 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:12.920 And he wins, not just wins, but wins handily. People 113 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.120 are kind of sick of it, whether it's the fact 114 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.240 that they're mad at the subservience towards Israel, they're just 115 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.319 sick of the fact that politicians don't care about them 116 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.040 at all at all. 117 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:27.920 They made it too obvious. 118 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.600 Where are you going? I'm taking my fourth trip to 119 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.079 Israel and then my fifth trip to Ukraine. And if 120 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.759 there's any time at all left over for the people 121 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:40.120 who voted me into office. Maybe maybe I'll do something 122 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.839 about it, but you know, I've probably got other things 123 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.319 on my mind. In his ferocious speech promising a new 124 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.680 dawn for New York, he quoted late socialist politician Eugene Debs, 125 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.560 bragged about toppling a political dynasty, and launched into a 126 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.439 blistering attack against President Donald Trump, who is called Mom 127 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.800 Donnie a communist. And I agree with Trump on this. 128 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:00.319 He is. 129 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:07.920 He is a communist. And if any city can show 130 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.160 a nation how to stop Donald Trump, it is the 131 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.199 city that gave rise to him, said Mom Donnie, who 132 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.040 represents a district in the same borough of Queens where 133 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:20.160 the president was raised. So from the same stomping grounds 134 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:26.639 as Donald Trump. They'rests, and they're both Democrats from New York. 135 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.080 He then directly addressed the President Trump, since I know 136 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.080 you're watching, I have. 137 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.639 Four words for you. Turn the volume up. 138 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.360 And of course, Mom Donnie is nothing but a demagogue. 139 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:46.000 He's very very good at being relatable, at getting people 140 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.399 to think, oh man, he's one of us. But I 141 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.080 don't believe it for the second. I don't believe it 142 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:57.000 at all. I think being if you're able to run 143 00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:02.320 a race for anything past dog catcher. Chances are you 144 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.799 have some kind of backing. I'm sure Mom, Donnie does. 145 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:10.440 I don't trust him at all. But upside from this, 146 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.320 at least is we get to say goodbye and good 147 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.919 riddance to Andrew Cuomo. You know it's not all bad. 148 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.120 Andrew Cuomo is out the door. So the former governor 149 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.519 had a bad record, a worse attitude, and zero vision. 150 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.679 And this is by Christian Britshkey. And over at Cuomo's 151 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.799 election night, party, independent journalist Michael Tracy captured whom the 152 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:39.799 former governor supporters engaging in some blunt analysis of the results. Hey, 153 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:44.000 Curtis Sliwa, you're a scumbag, like I said along, he 154 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.799 says in the video, you split the vote. 155 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:47.360 That's right. 156 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:47.840 I told you. 157 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.279 People were mad at Curtis Sliwa. They're not happy. They're 158 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:51.080 freaking out. 159 00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.000 They're saying that he's split the vote the remainder of 160 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.440 the less than fifty percent that was left to be split. Yeah, 161 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.200 what difference would that make? I know he wasn't there 162 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:04.279 to take part of the forty something percent. 163 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.399 Yeah, even if Curtis Leiwa isn't there, Cuomo still loses 164 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.320 to Mom Donnie, there's nothing. No one was excited for Cuomo. 165 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.840 No one cared. No one in the world sat there thinking, 166 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.639 I cannot wait to vote for Andrew Cuomo. 167 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:19.240 Oh boy. 168 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:24.600 Cuomo already lost in a direct election where there was 169 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:27.320 no split vote when it was the Democrat primary. 170 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:32.039 Yes, no one cares. Andrew Cuomo is old news. Not 171 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.519 just old news, but unliked news. He's bad news. No 172 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.879 one had any interest in voting for him at all. 173 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:46.360 This unnamed Cuomo sexual Uh, that's a that's a something. 174 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:49.399 Wasn't alone in expressing these sentiments. 175 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:49.679 Here. 176 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:54.639 For instance, former Republican congressman and pardoned fraudster George Santos 177 00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:01.360 saying something similar George Santos, what a guy, And he says, uh, 178 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.120 screw you, Curtis leiwa, I hate you all caps, your 179 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.360 dumb wife, that stupid beret of yours, and all your cats. 180 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:14.840 That's George Santos. Of course, George Santos might be mad 181 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:19.879 about Zorah Mom Donnie winning because he's so Jewish and 182 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.960 he's so pro Israel. Of course, I don't know if 183 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.559 he's either of those things. He's definitely not Jewish, to 184 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.840 be sure, neither are official campaign spokesman, but both the 185 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.559 level of their rage and their target for it says 186 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:34.879 a lot about the purely negative pitch of the Cuomos 187 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.200 mayoral campaign and why that proves so completely unconvincing for 188 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:42.039 voters both the primary and the general election. Quoman never 189 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.279 seemed to be able to get beyond the idea that 190 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.799 all he had to do to win was point at 191 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.519 the other candidates and say, you're really going to vote 192 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:54.480 for them, which you know this might be a knock 193 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.919 on effect from the Trump elections. 194 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.240 I don't have to. 195 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:02.240 That video that you play, he really sums up where 196 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.759 most of his support came from. It's that was the 197 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.559 first thing I ever saw about mom Donnie. It went 198 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.519 viral because everyone at the end of it where you 199 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.080 cut it before, they all start braiding him for not 200 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.399 supporting Israel enough, even though he's just going to be 201 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.039 the mayor of a city in America. 202 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.799 As the mayor of New York City, what are you 203 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.279 going to do for Israel. It's important for us to 204 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.159 know these things so we can judge whether you're fit 205 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.919 to govern an American city, Because if you're not rapidly 206 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.600 pro Israel, how could we let you govern US Americans, 207 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.080 and that funny how that works. 208 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:42.039 Huh. 209 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:43.360 It's almost like. 210 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.759 We're forced to put another country's interest befour hours. It's 211 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:51.559 almost like we're not We're barely a second thought. But 212 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.759 Cuomo couldn't convincingly do this given that he spent the 213 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.279 last year so it was governorship stumbling from one incompetent 214 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.720 scandal after another before eventually resigning in response to sexual harassment. Yeah, 215 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.000 when you when you're Andrew Cuomo and you try to 216 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.039 just go, you're going to vote for that guy, it's 217 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.840 a lot easier for them to look back at you 218 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.799 and go, you can vote for that guy. That's the 219 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:20.120 guy that you're really what has he done? Look at 220 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:25.240 what happened with COVID, look at what happened with the allegations. 221 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.799 There's more fingers pointing back at him. It was Cool's 222 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.840 administration that forced nursing homes to accept COVID positive patients 223 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.960 and then tried to cover up the deaths that resulted 224 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:38.840 from this deeply mistaken policy. It was under his governorship 225 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.440 that New York had the worst administered emergency rental assistance 226 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.000 program in the country. It's hard to argue that you 227 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.799 are a steady, capable alternative to the starry eyed socialist 228 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.559 when your administration can't do something as simple as not 229 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:53.080 recklessly endangered senior citizens or. 230 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:54.120 Cut checks to people. 231 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.960 Basically, he was no good at anything. There was not 232 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.279 a single bright spot in his administration, and people were 233 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:02.200 excited to see. 234 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:02.399 Him go. 235 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:06.600 Mo. 236 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:10.759 Mom Donnie had this sewed up for months. It was 237 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.919 all but concluded. Anyone that looked at the level of 238 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.200 excitement there was for Mom Donnie could kind of tell 239 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:24.799 it's a excitement means a lot when it comes to 240 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.159 a political campaign. It bears repeating after Cuomo repeating that. 241 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.639 Cuomo also signed the twenty nineteen rent law that has 242 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.240 done so much to damage the financial position of New 243 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.919 York City's housing. With no decent record to run on 244 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.960 and no positive visions to pitch, Como fell back on 245 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.120 aristocratic entitlement. If you don't like Mom Donnie, you had 246 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.679 to vote for him as the only realistic alternative. Sleeva 247 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.720 voters weren't worth convincing. They simply owed loyalty to Cuomo. 248 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.559 But that didn't end up playing out, did it. And 249 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:58.600 of course, as we pointed out, Curtis Sliwa didn't get 250 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.440 enough of the vote to mat he could have taken 251 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.360 Cuomo could have gotten all Slee Wiz votes and Mom 252 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:08.919 Donnie still wins. That's how disinterested people were in these 253 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:13.120 two candidates. Now, I don't think I'll vote for that guy. 254 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:14.440 We've tried that before. 255 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:16.519 It's not good to. 256 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:21.000 See the trying to pully up his socialism. And yes 257 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.639 he is a socialist, but is Cuomo really that much 258 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:29.600 better or better at all? New York is already pretty 259 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:31.840 close to as bad as it could possibly be in 260 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:36.159 terms of politics. There's limits to what these governors can 261 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.159 do when they're in power, and they're always pushing those 262 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.360 limits already. This guy might push them a little bit harder, 263 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.559 but I don't think it's going to make a fundamental difference. 264 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.200 Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if him being an avowed, 265 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.480 you know, socialist means he pushes harder and faster. I 266 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:57.159 have to wait and see. That would be a downside. 267 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:00.360 If Mom Donnie's avowed socialism means he's not trying to 268 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.519 hide anything, means he doesn't feel the need to try 269 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.080 and pretend he's not what he is. 270 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:07.600 I mean, sure, it could be worse than what it 271 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.919 is now. But I also think that they're really just 272 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:16.320 setting him up to succeed because they're establishing, oh, well, 273 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:21.000 we're going to see New York fall into a communist, 274 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.559 you know, regime, and people are gonna be starving in 275 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.639 the streets or whatever. Yeah, it's not going to be 276 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:26.360 that bad. 277 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.960 It's not going to turn into you know, the Warsaw 278 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.320 Ghetto or something like that overnight. 279 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:32.799 It's going to continue. 280 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.919 Anything short of escape from New York will be declared 281 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:36.440 a victory. 282 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.600 Look, we didn't burn the entire thing down, and we're 283 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.440 so proud of you, Mom Donnie. It's good. It's not 284 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.639 good to see Mom Donnie win, but as a consolation prize, 285 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:52.600 it is good to see Cuomo lose. And that's about 286 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:55.919 the size of it. There's no solace in Mom Donnie. 287 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:58.200 There's no hope he's going to make New York City better. 288 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:02.240 But we can at least enjoy the fact that Cuomo 289 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:07.599 got thrown out. That people had enough. Whatever else one 290 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:09.799 wants to say about them, their choices. New York voters 291 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.079 were right to decide that they don't want a disgraced 292 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.359 politician with a bad record, a worse attitude, and no 293 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:21.799 vision running their city government, and I think that's fair. 294 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.200 I think between the two choices, if someone put a 295 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.559 gun to my head and said you are going to 296 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:31.519 have to vote for Andrew Cuomo or Zorron, Mom Donnie, 297 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.920 I think I'd at least have to vote for Zoron, 298 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.759 Mam Donni. Because Andrew Cuomo, through his policies, has directly 299 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.359 led to deaths during COVID nineteen. I hold him responsible 300 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.880 for actual deaths. And while I'm sure Zorn might have 301 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.200 done the exact same thing, he hasn't yet I don't 302 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:52.960 consider him to have blood on his hands at this 303 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.440 exact moment, which means he is someone, in my opinion, 304 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.640 at least in this case, the lesser of two evils 305 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.960 for now. Mom Donnie tells n MSNBC he supports BDS 306 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.359 after claiming he will be mayor for every Jewish New Yorker. 307 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.000 During an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Mom Donnie was 308 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.720 asked about a support for BDS, the boycott movement against Israel, boycott, 309 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:23.839 divest whatever. The last one is Mom Donnie's sanctions. That's 310 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:24.400 what it was. 311 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:26.759 This article is phrasing it as though that's, you know, 312 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.680 an absolutely contradictory thing. But you know this is sending. 313 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:33.839 This is the nation of Israel, not Jewish New Yorker. 314 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.839 Yeah, that's the exact Thing's just he's the mayor of 315 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.279 the New Yorkers. If they're Jewish and they're in New York, 316 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:46.000 he could still support them, you know, give them the 317 00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:50.079 time and attention that they need from the mayor without 318 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:54.000 him ever having to do anything for Israel. But it's 319 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:55.319 just this continual conflation. 320 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:56.079 If you don't. 321 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:59.119 Support the political state of Israel in the Middle East, 322 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:02.599 you hate every single Jew on the planet, you want 323 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.759 them all gone. In fact, you're a Nazi. Mom Donnie 324 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:08.680 was asked about a support for BDS, the boycott movement 325 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:10.880 against Israel. Mom Donnie said he supports it as a 326 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.839 way to pressure Israel to comply with international law. That's 327 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.640 all he wants, just to comply with the international law. 328 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.799 Please. Now we'll see if that's all he wants in future. 329 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:25.359 But he's being very, very moderate in his condemnations of Israel. 330 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:29.400 He's been very mild, at least as far as I've seen. 331 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.160 Maybe there's some other videos where he's ranting and raving 332 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.000 and screaming, but I haven't seen. 333 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:34.599 A Morning Joe. 334 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.119 Co host Willie Geist asked Mom Donnie how he could 335 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.319 square support for Jewish New Yorkers while promoting the BDS movement, 336 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:43.319 noting that many in the city's Jewish community worry Robert's 337 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:46.599 animosity towards them. How can you support this one thing 338 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.599 that's unrelated to this other. I don't get again. It's 339 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:54.160 this utter conflation of the political state of Israel with 340 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.720 every single Jewish individual on the planet. If you have 341 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.799 a singular issue with the way NETANYAHUO runs the government 342 00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:05.480 of Israel, then you are evil. The candidate argued that 343 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:08.920 his criticism of Israel lies with its government, not the 344 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.160 Jewish people, same as it is here on the show, 345 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.599 same as it is with y'all in the audience. I 346 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.720 think critiques of the state of Israel are critiques of 347 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:21.680 a government as opposed to critiques of a people and 348 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:22.000 of a. 349 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:22.680 Faith, he said. 350 00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:28.079 And my job, his job is to be the mayor 351 00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:32.720 of New York, not the mayor of Israel. Zoron Mamdani, 352 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:37.319 boosted by opposition to Israel, wins NYC mayoral race. People 353 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.680 have had enough, We've seen enough clips, We've seen the footage. 354 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.400 It's hard to get away from the footage of what's 355 00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:49.279 going on in Palestine. People are not simply going to 356 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.440 take it. They'll do what they can as little as 357 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.000 that is. If that means electing a socialist, probably communist, 358 00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:58.359 to be the mayor of New York, to stop the 359 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.240 bombing of children, stop the horrors they see on their 360 00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:04.119 social media feed, that just might be what they do. 361 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.039 Well, let's not forget that the purpose of socialism is 362 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.400 to institute communism. Yeah, it's the ultimate end goal. 363 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:13.640 I think it was Vladimir Lenin or one of the 364 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:17.480 guys that said that. All right, let's read some comments 365 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:21.799 for a bit. Mister Palm ten eleven. Oh my gosh, 366 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.680 God's blessing. Yes, yes he is, Little David, or you 367 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.599 can call him squire or whatever you want. He's a blessing. 368 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:32.480 He's wonderful. He makes our lives so much better. Spetro 369 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:35.680 six to six says he's adorable, and Spectro six to 370 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:38.519 six says, happy first birthday, Thank you, thank you.

He has the same kind of 375 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:51.079 curls that I used to get when I was a 376 00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:53.519 baby when it got long. It's about time for him 377 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.519 to get his second haircut. The real octaves spootcute little boy. 378 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.400 Wife asks where is David. David's not feeling too good today. 379 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:02.960 He had to take the day off, but I'm still 380 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.680 here at least for the first hour. Second hour we're 381 00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:09.519 playing a best of compilation, will be the Anthony Frieda 382 00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:13.039 interview where they talk about culture and why it's important, 383 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:15.759 why art is important. And we're also going to play 384 00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:21.559 a Eric Peters interview and one more surprise, about fifteen 385 00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:25.119 minutes extra of just solo David, So stick around. The 386 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.279 second hour will be more David Knight Show with David 387 00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:29.920 Knight Best of interviews. 388 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.039 I want to say that it's not his heart that's 389 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.279 a problem. He's just feeling he's under the weather, usual 390 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:37.759 regular sickness. 391 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.799 Yeah, it's just a regular cold fever sort of thing. 392 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:44.559 He's not not in any danger. He's just feeling bad 393 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.799 like we all do. Sometimes we have Pezanovante seventeen to 394 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.759 seventy six says miss the start. Where is DK? So 395 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.519 Hopefully that answers your question. Pezanovante, so go sixty eight 396 00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.920 g the first Muslim mayor of londonis stand. 397 00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:58.759 Sure worked out. 398 00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:00.839 Great, didn't it. That's right, sure did. 399 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:05.559 It's Londonistan always makes me laugh. I've said for years 400 00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:08.119 that if we wanted to invade another Muslim country, it 401 00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:10.240 might as well be the UK. Give them a taste 402 00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:13.599 of their own medicine for once, Jim seven, he'll do 403 00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:17.240 plenty for Israel. The guy will reveal his true identity soon. 404 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.839 I think you have to play politics to some degree 405 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.799 in order to get into positions, high positions as well 406 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.240 as mayoral positions if it's a city like New York, 407 00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:32.599 and that typically includes sending some money to Israel. 408 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.880 Yeah, apparently in American politics you don't get to play 409 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.400 unless you at least partially support Israel. 410 00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.319 How much support the city of New York actually sentenced 411 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.200 to them? But I guess we'll see. 412 00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:48.000 Yeah. 413 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:55.240 I it's truly amazing. Just the Jewish population New York 414 00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.880 is incredibly large comparatively to other places in the country. 415 00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:01.920 Jim's seven already read that. 416 00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:02.559 Patty Wax. 417 00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.440 It's scary that life has become the latest great is 418 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.319 bigger and better novelty. And that is what Zoron is. 419 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.720 That is what Trump was, That is what LGBT nutteries. 420 00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:18.359 Nutteries are nuttery. Yeah, it's all just this continual push 421 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.880 for more, more, more. Well this didn't satisfy me. What 422 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.359 can I do next? This is old news. I need 423 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.240 something else. It's not satisfying like it did. Maybe a 424 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.480 bigger dose will help. It's because society is completely and 425 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:39.839 utterly divorced from Christ. We've thrown him out and as 426 00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:42.559 such we are desperate for something to take his place, 427 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:46.559 but nothing can. What if I try drugs? What if 428 00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:50.799 I substitute political action? What if I'm gay or trans 429 00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.920 or something? Surely that will give my life meaning? 430 00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.240 It doesn't. 431 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:58.319 What you need is Christ. Without Christ, you have no 432 00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:02.079 meaning and no salvation. So I encourage you to turn 433 00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:06.480 to Him. Read the Gospel, believe it. Oh need Malik 434 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:10.880 the technocrat Muslim billionaire inside maga. Oh no, We're infiltrated 435 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:16.039 on all sides. Ohmied malinka Muslim, also got involved with 436 00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:19.359 Rockbridge Network, a conservative donor group started by Jay de 437 00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:24.279 Vance and Chris Chris Buskirk, a co founder of a 438 00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:26.960 seventeen eighty nine capital. How did all these former left 439 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.960 wing billionaire show up on the Trump train? Isn't that 440 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:31.400 the question of the day? 441 00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:32.119 How did it happen? 442 00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:32.799 How'd they get here? 443 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.160 How did all these left wing or they say former 444 00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:39.960 left wing but really left wing billionaires get onto the 445 00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:43.119 train of the former left wing billionaire president. 446 00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:47.519 It's truly a question worth asking Lance. I, for one, 447 00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.839 am baffled. I've got no idea how this could have happened. 448 00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:52.400 Do you perhaps have some insights? 449 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:52.759 Lance? 450 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:58.519 Could you explain this mystery? How did he end up here? 451 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.640 I stand the tech If you understand technocracy, you will 452 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:05.599 know the agenda is not political but economic. It is 453 00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:09.599 also aligned with asset based Islamic finance, which is infiltrating 454 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:14.359 all levels in the investment baking world. Patrick Wood, the editor, 455 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:17.359 said that Patrick Wood does a lot of good work 456 00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:22.039 USA USA, USA. Familiar chant of another MAGA triumph filled 457 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:24.960 the New York Stock Exchange last month as Omeid Malik 458 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:28.000 and Donald Trump Junior rang the opening bell to mark 459 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:33.400 the trading debut of firearms retailer grab A Gun. I 460 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.079 could also call the company the culmination of their close 461 00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:39.799 personal business relationship, The Amazon of guns or a middle 462 00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.079 finger to anyone who's horrified that grab a Gun's stock 463 00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.960 symbol is pew, the sound of a bullet. 464 00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:46.720 See. 465 00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.519 I don't think we're going far enough. What we need 466 00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:52.079 is Uber eats for guns. I should be able to 467 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:54.759 pull up my phone, look at a gun, and have 468 00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:58.079 somebody deliver it to my house within the next twenty 469 00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:02.440 five to thirty minutes. That is the only future worth having. 470 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.160 I demand to be able to order glocks to my 471 00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:09.160 front door, non stop, whenever I want. That is the 472 00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:10.799 only thing that will satisfy me. 473 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.000 But the man start talking about this pretty cool sounding 474 00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:20.039 gun service as though that's somehow Trump's creation. 475 00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:25.119 I'm assuming they're trying to imply that Trump is the 476 00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:28.559 reason he created the economic climate and the political climate 477 00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:33.039 where they could be allowed to succeed and thrive, which. 478 00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.200 There was no such thing as the Second Amendment before 479 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:37.920 there was Trump. 480 00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:38.519 That's right. 481 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.079 Donald Trump was the first second pro Second Amendment president. 482 00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.640 No one else before him has ever been pro Second Amendment. 483 00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:50.160 Not like Donnie is gonna take the guns and do 484 00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:53.720 the due process later. There should be flashing red lights 485 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:56.920 Steve Bannon on mom Donnie's When Steve Bannon is saying 486 00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:59.880 it's time to panic, It's time to freak out. More 487 00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:02.519 than a few Republicans are celebrating Zoramum Donnie's victory, seeing 488 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:05.559 a thirty four year old Democratic socialist political gift an 489 00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:10.240 albatross dinemic party. Steve Bannon is not among them. That's 490 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:19.039 Steve Bannon, despite being a allegedly drunken criminal, might have 491 00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:26.240 more common sense than all the others in gravitating towards Trump, 492 00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:29.960 which is a horrifying thought to have. It is horrifying 493 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:34.599 that Steve Bannon might be the most politically savvy, the 494 00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:40.400 most sagacious, the most circumspect member of the team, not 495 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:44.119 even a member. He's on the outside looking in. Bannon 496 00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:47.279 seemed impressed by mom Donnie's companionability to turn out low 497 00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:53.200 propensity voters. Yeah, he got all these dweebs that have 498 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:56.680 been disenchanted with politics to believe that he's something different. 499 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:00.920 That's what you get when you're a new face without 500 00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:05.200 much history in politics. You get people that have been 501 00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:08.119 burnt out. They look at you and they say, there's 502 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.400 a chance, you know he's the devil. I don't know, 503 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:15.519 so maybe he's not a devil. Whereas any time you're 504 00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.319 dealing with known quantities, you're gonna have a certain at 505 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.039 least a portion of the population goes, I know that guy. 506 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.119 I will never vote for him. He has a history 507 00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:30.279 that I can look at and I'm sick of, and you'll. 508 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:31.079 Never win them over. 509 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:38.160 Well maga Icon, an ex Tucker Carlson favorite, denounces his 510 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:43.480 old ally in the New Anti Semitism. Wow, it seems 511 00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:47.079 like they're getting a bit nervous when it comes to 512 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:52.640 anti Semitism. The support for Israel is not as clamorous 513 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.759 and all consuming as it used to be among the 514 00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.880 American people. With the advent of social media and the 515 00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:02.960 ability to see the outcomes of Israel's war what they're doing, 516 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.240 bombing women and children, some people are looking at it 517 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:09.880 and going, why are we supporting this? How can we 518 00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:11.920 support this? They've got to stop. If they want our 519 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.359 continued support, they need to stop. And if you say that, 520 00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.319 I'm sorry, I've got bad news. You're an anti semi. 521 00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:21.759 That's just how it happens. It sneaks up on you. 522 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:25.279 One day, you're thinking about how you really wish women 523 00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:27.519 and children would stop being murdered, and the next thing 524 00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:32.759 you know, you're wearing an armband with a swastika on it. 525 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.680 That's how it happens. It's that easy. The slide is 526 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:42.839 unnoticeable all of a sudden, You're an anti semi victor. 527 00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:45.640 Davis Hanson denounced his old ally in a long essay 528 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.240 about the new anti Semitism for the Free Press. While Anson, 529 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:51.640 it's admitted the Fox that Fox News wouldn't be able 530 00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:54.079 to replace Tucker Carlson after the network ousted him back 531 00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:56.440 in twenty twenty three, he did not mince words about 532 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.000 the far right commentator in his latest essay. Blogger Daryl Cooper, 533 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.519 implausibly proclaimed by Tucker Carlson as perhaps the best and 534 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.640 most honest popular historian in the United States, claimed on 535 00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:09.079 a Carlson podcast that Adolf Hitler's armies in nineteen forty 536 00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:11.720 one did not really intend either to starve or murder 537 00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:16.640 hundreds of thousands of Jews, Ukrainians and Russian prisoners. Excuse me, 538 00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:19.240 even though there is a trove of documents that showed 539 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:24.680 premeditated Nazi assumptions of and plans for precisely such mass death, 540 00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:28.000 observed Hanson. Why would Nick Fuenttis, who at times in 541 00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:30.799 the past has praised both Hitler and Joseph Stalin call 542 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.160 for a holy war against Jews and denied the Holocaust 543 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.000 remain unchallenged by Carlson on this same venue. 544 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:39.319 Of course, I. 545 00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:41.839 Find the funniest thing about Fuentess is the fact that 546 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.599 he's declared himself Hitler two, three and four. So we've 547 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.359 got the next We've got the next. 548 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:49.319 Three Hitlers sorted out. 549 00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.839 So unless you're planning on being Hitler five, don't even bother. 550 00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:56.160 We've already got him. Hanson argued that right wing anti 551 00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.440 Semitism manifests itself in the form of America firsters, who 552 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:01.759 fought both America passed in president and much of Trump's 553 00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:03.480 America First movement. 554 00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:06.880 Well, yeah, if you don't put Israel first, you're anti submittic. 555 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:08.480 It's simply that. 556 00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:11.799 And of course you have people like Nick Quentis who 557 00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:16.160 make these absurd, inflammatory statements. I'm gonna be Hitler two, 558 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:18.880 three and four, he says, as he wants to be 559 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.640 taken seriously, as he is one of the main voices 560 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:27.000 that criticize Israel, who point out Apax control, and he 561 00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:34.039 links this directly to that kind of ridiculous absurdism, that insanity. 562 00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:38.880 Hanson is a longtime supporter President Donald Trump, who Carlson 563 00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:43.240 turned too often during his days at Fox. Well, isn't 564 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:48.160 that wonderful. We're going to take a quick break and 565 00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:49.839 then when we come back, I think we're going to 566 00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:54.200 look at what's going on with Cash Patel. As I said, 567 00:32:55.279 --> 00:33:00.119 he is in hot water. People are not happy and 568 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:03.200 there's good reason for that. But we'll talk about that 569 00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:06.200 when we come back. So stay with us and we 570 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.720 will be right back. 571 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:40.519 Jordan.

I see we have Jason Barker in chat. 576 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:01.639 Good to see Jason. 577 00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:04.679 Hope you're doing well. Yes, David is sick today. I 578 00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.480 am filling in. It's nothing serious. He's just feeling under 579 00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:11.039 the weather. So you've got me for the next twenty 580 00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:13.519 five minutes, and then we will be turning it over 581 00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:17.920 to a rebroadcast, because who can do the David Knight 582 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:19.480 Show better than David Knight. 583 00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:21.639 That's the real question, not just to read broadcast, but 584 00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:23.559 a best of it is. 585 00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:26.760 Right, best of interviews and a segment. But as I said, 586 00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:27.400 we're gonna. 587 00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:29.760 Look at what's going on with Sorry to interrupt, but 588 00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:33.519 on the topic of David Knight, he sent me a 589 00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:36.920 comment saying Trump isn't a populist, He's a globalist who's 590 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.719 just like the Democrats in that debate. We played the 591 00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:45.840 debate of the Democrat New York mayoral candidates, and they're 592 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:50.760 all talking about how much they support Israel, Ukraine, et cetera. 593 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:56.400 And these are all Trump's positions. See, he's jetting around 594 00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.079 the world while the people can't even jet across the 595 00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:00.480 country because he doesn't care. 596 00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:07.480 Yeah, we uh, none of our politicians care about us, 597 00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:11.960 and at this point their disinterest is a large part 598 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:14.760 of what keeps things running the things. 599 00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:19.719 He also says, Victor David Hanson is a historian who's 600 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:23.519 loved by conservatives, yet he supported Trump in spite of 601 00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:26.480 what happened in twenty twenty. Why would anyone care about 602 00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:30.559 what a quote historian thanks who doesn't even know what 603 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:33.800 happened in his own time and can't understand the time 604 00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:34.679 that he lived through. 605 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:39.480 See this is why anytime you read history, you need 606 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:42.840 to question what the book is telling you. Given how 607 00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:47.239 biased and uninformed and stupid most of the current news 608 00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:49.840 is and the current historians are, and the books that 609 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.840 they write are, you have to wonder has it always 610 00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:56.920 been like this? Has every historical work been written by 611 00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:01.039 some scumbag hack with an agenda to push How much 612 00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:04.880 of this is simply fabrication to make somebody of the 613 00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:05.719 time look good. 614 00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.679 There's always revisionists. You just have to look at everything 615 00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:13.400 with a critical eye and compare it to other sources, 616 00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:14.760 especially sources from the time. 617 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:17.840 Unless I'm telling you it, then you can believe it uncritically. 618 00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:21.840 Just accept it and move along. Please don't do that. 619 00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.119 Sometimes I worry that people are gonna take me serious. 620 00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:32.400 I like to be sarcastic. I like to be unseerious, 621 00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:35.559 and worry people are going to take it seriously and 622 00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:39.039 think I actually mean it. Let's look at what's going 623 00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:42.480 on with Cash Battel. As I said, he's in hot 624 00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:44.679 water and he's not used to that. Cash Betel wouldn't 625 00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:46.800 be the first FBI boss to go down by turning 626 00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:50.280 his official plane into a private jet. We've got precedent 627 00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:54.800 for it. It's already happened, and some people are now wondering, well, 628 00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:58.400 why hasn't happened? Why hasn't happened to Cash Battel. In 629 00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.920 the early nineteen nineties, veteran and mistigative reporter Ronald Kessler 630 00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:04.519 cut an unusual deal with the FBI, one that was 631 00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:08.199 blessed at the very top by its then director William Sessions. 632 00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:12.119 Kessler would be given on beettered access to the J. 633 00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.199 Edgar Hoover Building for a planned book that would provide 634 00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:17.400 an exclusive, behind the scenes look at how the FBI 635 00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:24.760 really operates. Isn't that fun? Isn't that nifty? And the 636 00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:27.159 course of his reporting, Kessler told me this week he 637 00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:30.079 was shocked to learn, thanks to tips from agents on 638 00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:33.159 Sessions on security detail about alleged ethical abuses by the 639 00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:36.960 director himself. On multiple occasion, Sessions, a former federal judge, 640 00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:40.079 had used an FBI jet for personal trips, including Johnston, 641 00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:42.800 San Francisco to see his daughter and flying with his 642 00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:45.239 wife to Atlantic City to attend a performance of the 643 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:50.039 Bolshoy Ballet at the Sands Hotel at Casino. Oh, you know, 644 00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.920 at least I suppose he's higher class than Cash Battel 645 00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:56.559 flying his girlfriend to a wrestling event. He's at least 646 00:38:56.559 --> 00:39:00.679 going to the ballet. The theta the theta. What a 647 00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:05.760 man of taste, how refined, which comped him the tickets. 648 00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:08.639 So the casino even comps him the tickets. I guess 649 00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:12.559 that's something. Sure, he's not using the American money to 650 00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:16.119 buy Bolshoy Ballet tickets. They're simply being given to him 651 00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:20.239 because of who he is, because of his position. Kessler's 652 00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:24.960 discoveries produced an uproar. There was a simpler time. People 653 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:26.960 actually cared more. 654 00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:28.719 When he wrote a. 655 00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.079 Letter to the FBI seeing comment for his book, The 656 00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.360 Public Affairs off As dutifully turned it over to the 657 00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:37.159 Justice Department Inspector General for review. Months later, after an 658 00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:40.320 IG report documented sessions misuse of the FBI jet and 659 00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:43.199 other questionable actions, including the installation of a security fence 660 00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:45.840 around his home, the director got a call from President 661 00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.280 Bill Clinton telling him he was fired, picking the first 662 00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:54.280 FBI chief ever to be Cashiered. I'm sure Bill Clinton 663 00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:57.079 told him, I feel your pain. Now I'm doing stuff 664 00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.599 they wouldn't like either. I just didn't get caught Trump 665 00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:05.840 Trump's handpicked director Cash Bettel forty five, last week used 666 00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.679 an FBI jet to fly to State College in Pennsylvania 667 00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:12.719 to attend a wrestling match where his girlfriend, country singer 668 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:20.000 Alexis Wilkins twenty six, was singing the national anthem. That's 669 00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:22.840 a good use of time and money, isn't it. Our 670 00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:27.159 FBI director has nothing better to do than to use 671 00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:32.800 the private FBI jet to fly up to spend time 672 00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:36.360 with his girlfriend who's basically half his age as she 673 00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:45.039 sings the national anthem at a wrestling event. Remember, I'm 674 00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:49.880 told it's alleged to me, it's been revealed in a 675 00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:52.760 dream that we were once a serious country. I've heard 676 00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:57.880 tell of it. People used to actually take their job seriously. 677 00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:01.920 There was some kind of pride in them. Not anymore. 678 00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:06.960 We've got cash Patel using his FBI jet to fly to. 679 00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.239 See his girlfriend. Well, you got to do that. 680 00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:13.800 How much money are these guys making and yet they're 681 00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:18.679 completely and utterly unwilling to pay for a plane flight. No, no, no, 682 00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:23.639 I'm going to take the FBI private jet. Sure pass 683 00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:27.280 that on to the taxpayer. That's their job. I'm a 684 00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.920 big deal. Wherever I want to go, I get to go, 685 00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:34.400 and it's the American people's duty to support that. They 686 00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:37.400 should feel honored that their tax dollars are going so 687 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:41.519 that I can go visit my girlfriend. Patel fired the 688 00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:44.559 senior official in charge of planes, Stephen Palmer, a twenty 689 00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:48.920 seven year FBI veteran, when reports about the trip started 690 00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:50.719 to surface on social media. 691 00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:54.719 That's right, he threw a. 692 00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:57.519 Bit of a hissy fit. This is how'd this get out? 693 00:41:57.760 --> 00:41:58.480 Did you leak it? 694 00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:00.920 You leak that I was. 695 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:03.920 Using the FBI's private plane to go visit my girlfriend. 696 00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:08.280 Well you're fired. You might actually care about your job. 697 00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:13.239 Nor was this the first time that Betel's use of 698 00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:16.880 FBI aircraft has been questioned. In April, Pattel, an avid 699 00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:19.639 hockey fan, used an FBI seven to fifty seven jet, 700 00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:21.760 to fly to New York to attend an NHL game, 701 00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:26.639 where he watched Washington Capitol star Alex Ovechkin break the 702 00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:29.320 league's all time scoring record. Good for him, I guess, 703 00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:31.039 congratulations Alex Ovechkin. 704 00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:33.679 I hope you know means something to you. 705 00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:36.159 Then in August, Battel and four or five of his 706 00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:39.880 friends hopped aboard an FBI jet to fly to Scotland 707 00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:43.320 for a golfing trip. Isn't that wonderful for him? Just 708 00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:45.239 getting to hop in the FBI jet. You know what 709 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:49.119 I feel like going to Scotland for golf. Wouldn't that 710 00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:49.559 be fun? 711 00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:52.920 Lifestyles of the rich and corrupt? 712 00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:54.079 Exactly just. 713 00:42:55.760 --> 00:43:01.920 How disconnected this man is from the average American. Just oh, 714 00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:04.360 I think I want to play golf, but not just 715 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.119 regular golf. How about we go where it was invented. 716 00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:10.280 This is like getting a craving for pizza and instead 717 00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:12.800 of going to your local restaurant, you decide you're gonna 718 00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:18.599 fly to Italy. I better not give him any ideas 719 00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:23.679 this may this may happen. In August, Pattel and four 720 00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:25.280 or five of his friends hop to board an FBI 721 00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:27.960 jet to fly to Scotland for a golfing trip. According 722 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:31.000 to Chris O'Leary, a former senior FBI Counter terrorm counter 723 00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:34.280 terrorism official has been tracking the use of the bureau's 724 00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.840 aircraft inside the bureau, there is across the board outrage 725 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.039 over Ptel's use of FBI aircraft. 726 00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:41.360 For fun and pleasure. Ceo leary. 727 00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.000 At the end of the day, it's theft of government resources. 728 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:46.760 I mean, people have been thrown out of the Bureau 729 00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:49.280 for this, and he's speaking literally. 730 00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:53.639 Do you have any idea how much fuel these jets consume. 731 00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:59.119 It is gallons upon gallons, like in one minute, they'll 732 00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:00.320 go through several games. 733 00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:01.000 It is. 734 00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:04.199 It is quite expensive to fly these things around. These 735 00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:08.760 are not regular planes either. They are generally outfitted with 736 00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:11.920 all kinds of different things, and they are more expensive 737 00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:16.519 to fly because of it. They take more fuel, they're heavier, 738 00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:19.679 even more striking. However, are the parallels with sessions misuse 739 00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.199 of the FBI aircraft. And as I was pointing out, 740 00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:26.000 he's not speaking at for, he's not speaking in generality, 741 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:28.400 he's not speaking in you know. Oh well, something like 742 00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:31.719 this has happened, something almost identical has happened. There's precedent, 743 00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:36.480 someone was already fired for it. So why isn't cash 744 00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:41.320 Btel being fired? Could it be because Donald Trump prioritizes 745 00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:45.840 loyalty to himself over loyalty to the Constitution, over ability 746 00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:47.840 and willingness to uphold the law. Could it be that 747 00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:52.440 Donald Trump simply cares that Cash Betel is a dutiful 748 00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.639 little toady that does what he's told. 749 00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:59.840 It's a measure of the corruption. Last time this exact 750 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.079 thing happened, the FBI director was fired. This time, the 751 00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:05.920 guy that exposed it was fired. 752 00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:11.639 Let's remember it was Bill Clinton that fired that FBI director. 753 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.679 It's as I've said before and will not elaborate on. 754 00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:19.159 Bill Clinton was the last Republican president. There won't be 755 00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:21.599 another one, and I will not be taking questions. There's 756 00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:25.360 more than parallels between Patel's and sessions travels. Gerson told 757 00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:29.119 me it's congruency. It's the same thing under normal circumstances. 758 00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:32.880 The IG Inspector General should investigate this. It looks like 759 00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:38.800 on its face, like an emolument spy talk. I've got 760 00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:41.800 to take a brief aside. I know I take too 761 00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:44.159 many rabbits, I go down too many rabbit holes. But 762 00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:47.360 spy talk just the idea that there's a magazine for 763 00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:50.599 spies or a newspaper for them where they put all 764 00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:51.960 their little spy details. 765 00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:54.639 Do you think there's some this sub stack. 766 00:45:56.880 --> 00:45:57.599 Uh? Yes. 767 00:45:57.880 --> 00:45:58.360 But just. 768 00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:03.480 Reached out to the FBI Public Affairs Office with a 769 00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:06.480 series of questions, including how often Betel has used FBI 770 00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:09.599 aircraft for personal purposes, whether his trips were approved by 771 00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:13.119 any FBI lawyer or ethics official, and how much Patel 772 00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:16.719 has compensated the Bureau for his trips. The office responded 773 00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:19.440 with a terse email saying that due to the government shutdown, 774 00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:24.440 FBI operations are directed toward national security with Patel's chief spokesman, 775 00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:27.400 Ben Williamson, posted on ex that Bettel, like all directors, 776 00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:30.559 has required to use FBI aircraft for all travel because 777 00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:33.920 of security issues, and for personal travel, director pays a 778 00:46:33.960 --> 00:46:38.599 reimbursement in advance, strictly following OMB rules. He did, not, however, 779 00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:41.320 specify which trips and how many times Pateel's compensated the 780 00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:44.639 government for his trips to see his girlfriend, watch a 781 00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:48.440 hockey game, go golfing, or for other personal purposes. He 782 00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:50.079 also spends a lot of time at a second home 783 00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.239 in Las Vegas, according to reports, so he's all over 784 00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:56.800 the place. They're still not sure how many trips he's taken. 785 00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:02.039 It seems like, well, you know, he's gotta fly. He 786 00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:05.039 works far more full weekends than he does otherwise, and 787 00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:07.840 maybe most importantly ask anyone who works for him, he's 788 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:11.840 on duty twenty four to seven. I'm really curious as 789 00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:15.519 to what the director of the FBI actually does. He's 790 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:18.920 not out there with a magnifying glass hunting down clues. 791 00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:23.400 He's not Sherlock holmesing it. Obviously, he's more of a 792 00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:26.639 policy sort of guy. He's more about what kind of 793 00:47:26.639 --> 00:47:30.800 personnel they hire. What does the FBI director do on 794 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:33.000 a daily basis? What is Cash Petel devoting all of 795 00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:36.760 his time to? Isn't that's something I'd be interested in knowing. 796 00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:40.559 I imagine he's more of a bureaucrat than anything else. 797 00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:44.000 I imagine he doesn't do all that much at all. Actually, 798 00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:49.639 probably fires off an email every now and then. There's 799 00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:52.000 zero time for people who pedal trash because they have 800 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.960 nothing better to do, or even better, because the Russian 801 00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.960 collusion hoax they spent years writing about failed. 802 00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:02.360 In their end goal. Real shame. That's right. 803 00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:06.639 This is all because of Democrats. This is all Democrats 804 00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:11.360 trying to smear our good little boy, Cash Pattel. 805 00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:12.880 He would never do anything bad. 806 00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:15.840 Yeah, what does this have to do with the Russia hoax? 807 00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:16.639 I don't know. 808 00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:18.320 You know, it's jenness. 809 00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:21.800 Is absurd to blame anytime one of the blame the 810 00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:24.760 media that's blaming Russia for everything, it's unrelated. 811 00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:28.079 It seems like anytime one of the Trump crew gets 812 00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:30.599 in trouble, they trot out the fact. Hey, look, remember 813 00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:32.679 they tried to smear him with this Russian host thing, 814 00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:35.159 hoax thing. They made up a whole bunch of stuff. 815 00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:38.599 You can't believe. You can't trust them. Remember, remember this, 816 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:41.320 this was absurd to try to make you tie it 817 00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:43.280 into that and go okay, So there's nothing to see 818 00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:43.760 here either. 819 00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:44.719 Then I guess yeah. 820 00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:47.880 So I was saying, it's the inoculation of Trump by 821 00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:51.639 the media with all of their constant going over the 822 00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:56.679 top for years, and now he's immune to criticism. 823 00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:00.000 M But Patel himself also responded mainly by praising his girlfriend, 824 00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:07.280 the country singer. You know, that's a bit of an obfuscation. 825 00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.880 I assume I'm not going to address anything. What if 826 00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:13.039 I were to simply just talk about how much I. 827 00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:13.960 Love my girlfriend? 828 00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:19.920 Heye, corruption love me girlfriend, simple ads. But tell himself 829 00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:22.599 also respond to mainly praising his girlfriend, the country singer. 830 00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:27.360 The disgustingly baseless attacks against alexis a true patriot and 831 00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:29.280 the woman I'm proud to call my partner in life 832 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:31.840 are beyond pathetic, he wrote on x She is a 833 00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:37.119 rock sold He probably means solid, but it says sold 834 00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:40.960 here conservative and a country music sensation who has done 835 00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:46.320 more for this national He means nation, then most will 836 00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:47.639 in ten lifetimes. 837 00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:50.440 I'm so blessed in my life. 838 00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:54.760 Attacking her isn't just wrong, it's cowardly and jeopardizes our safety. 839 00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:59.599 Wow, the spin that he's putting on this, they asking 840 00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:03.079 if you're asking him, if you're asking about what I'm 841 00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:05.639 doing with the FBI jet, you're attacking my girlfriend. 842 00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:08.559 You're attacking my girlfriend and making her unsafe. How do 843 00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:11.239 you feel about that, big man? You feel big attacking 844 00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:11.679 a woman? 845 00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:12.320 Please? 846 00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:18.280 Please don't fire me for corruption. That's what Cash Pattel 847 00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:21.559 is doing. He's obvious skating, He's changing what this is about. 848 00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:25.280 This is not about his girlfriend, who I'm sure is 849 00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:29.679 probably a nice lady. I'm sure she's fine. I don't 850 00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:33.440 care to listen to any of her music, and I 851 00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:36.639 hope she lives a great life. I hope she's safe 852 00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:40.360 and sound. But I do, however, think Cash Pattel should 853 00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:43.760 be fired for misuse of FBI property. 854 00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:45.760 It's that simple. 855 00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:48.480 In fact, none of the main media stories about Pattel's 856 00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:51.000 trip to watch his girlfriend singing the national anthem singing 857 00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:54.079 the national anthem in State College included personal attacks on her. 858 00:50:55.159 --> 00:51:00.280 This is again, this is just changing the narrative. This 859 00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:04.559 isn't about me and my misuse of FBI property. This 860 00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:07.360 isn't about me taking trips to Scotland to play golf. 861 00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:10.400 This is about them hating my girlfriend. They hate her 862 00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:13.960 because she's such a patriot, folks, She's such a patriot. 863 00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:18.480 The left wing media are trying to discredit her by 864 00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:22.599 saying I use the private jet to go golfing in Scotland. 865 00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:26.880 That's how devious these people are. It's a real roundabout attack. 866 00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:29.079 But you're not gonna fall for it, because I'm gonna 867 00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:30.119 tell you. 868 00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:32.760 You're misusing the private chet. Wow, these people are coming 869 00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:34.480 after my girlfriend with the Russia hoax. 870 00:51:35.800 --> 00:51:41.559 This is truly an insane workaround. Cash Bettel truly does 871 00:51:41.599 --> 00:51:44.559 it up to his nickname that I've seen people call him, 872 00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:51.239 Crooked Cash. There is nothing that I've seen from this 873 00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:53.880 man that is even remotely honest. 874 00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:55.159 They're parallel. 875 00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:58.119 By the way, this is actually a spytalk magazine. It 876 00:51:58.199 --> 00:51:59.719 just looks exactly like a substax. 877 00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:00.679 It was one. 878 00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:04.519 That's what I'm saying, is like it just the idea. 879 00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:06.440 They've got their own little spy talk where they send 880 00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:09.159 in letters to the editor, Dear Abby, this week I 881 00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:14.280 toppled a third world regime for their resources. Many people died, 882 00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:15.960 much lithium was secured. 883 00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:16.880 You're welcome. 884 00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:22.119 Another parallel between Patel and his long ago predecessor, long 885 00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:26.559 ago Bill Clinton was apparently long ago, back in the 886 00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:30.719 ether the reaches of time, we all grow old. When 887 00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:33.760 Kessler finally confronted Sessions about his findings, he got a 888 00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:37.119 half hour tongue lashing from the director. Sessions told a 889 00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:39.800 reporter he was offended and disappointed that he had delved 890 00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:43.000 into personal matters rather than the great work the FAA. 891 00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:45.280 I was doing great work. 892 00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:47.440 The FBI was doing on what you. 893 00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:49.199 Guys, personal matters like your corruption. 894 00:52:49.679 --> 00:52:52.239 I'm also curious what are they working on. Have they 895 00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:55.639 given us any new facts about the Charlie Kirk shooting anything? 896 00:52:56.000 --> 00:53:00.760 How about Epstein, Yeah, Epstein, Kirk lost Fai Vegas shooting, 897 00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:06.320 Really any high profile crime they've been involved in investigating. 898 00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:06.559 Over the last. 899 00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:11.440 Well forever, as far as I'm concerned, my entire lifetime, 900 00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:15.320 have they actually given us anything. When was the last 901 00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:17.559 time the FBI came out with something and said we've 902 00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:20.679 solved it, and you were confident you. 903 00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:25.280 Could believe them. We have a black screen there we go. 904 00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:27.480 It was just studio mode. 905 00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:30.239 Sessions told the reporter he was offended and disappointed that 906 00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:33.199 he had delved into personal matters rather than the great 907 00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:35.159 work the FBI was doing, and then launched into a 908 00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:38.000 vigorous defense of his wife, who had taken on many 909 00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:40.000 of his trips aboard the FBI jet, who he set 910 00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:44.079 occupied a special and important place in the bureau. I 911 00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:50.000 love my wife more than anything. I think she is beautiful, amazing, talented, smart, funny. 912 00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:53.880 But I wouldn't if I was the FBI director, assume 913 00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:56.599 that she holds a special place for all the FBI 914 00:53:56.719 --> 00:54:00.400 agents well as the director. She is my wife, and 915 00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:03.559 therefore she's like a mom to these guys. I think 916 00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:09.719 perhaps she was yeah, just yeah. I don't think you 917 00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:14.719 immediately become a special individual because you're married to the 918 00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:18.039 FBI director. You're not immediately inducted into their halls and 919 00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:21.559 made one of their own. That Patel too would respond 920 00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:23.960 with the defense of his girlfriend, was telling Kessler said, 921 00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:27.519 that's right. As the FBI director, if you get criticized, 922 00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:32.599 if you have a woman in your life, you must immediately. 923 00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:33.400 Claim they're attacking her. 924 00:54:33.880 --> 00:54:37.360 I can't believe these people are attacking my wife, my girlfriend, 925 00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:41.079 the country singer, the solid conservative that Patel would respond 926 00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:43.480 with the defense of his wife is telling. He goes 927 00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:45.440 on about what a wonderful person she is, he said, 928 00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:48.559 the show of total blindness to the ethical issues involved. 929 00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:52.280 He's not blind, he's just trying to deflect. No no, no, 930 00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:55.039 no ethical no ethical violations to see here. Have you 931 00:54:55.079 --> 00:55:01.880 considered my country singing, patriotic American girlfriend. Yes, Cash, we're 932 00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:07.960 very happy for you. Please answer the question. Well, that's 933 00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:10.639 what's going on to Cash Betel. We're gonna see how 934 00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:13.400 it plays out. I'm personally not expecting anything. He's a 935 00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:17.000 good little toady to Donald Trump. He really does whatever 936 00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:22.079 Trump says, and he does it without question. So I'm 937 00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:26.719 assuming everything will be fine for him. But let's let's 938 00:55:26.760 --> 00:55:28.719 move on. We've only got a little bit of time 939 00:55:28.800 --> 00:55:31.920 left before I turn it over to the best of 940 00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:36.639 Sandwich thrown by a protester exploded and left mustard stain 941 00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:38.719 on border agent court heres, that's right. 942 00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:39.840 It was. 943 00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:46.239 An improvised I don't know at a bold device, I 944 00:55:46.239 --> 00:55:51.159 guess ied still works. A US immigration agent has testified 945 00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:54.039 he could feel through his holistic best the impact of 946 00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:57.360 a sandwich hurled at him by Washing DC protester who has. 947 00:55:57.360 --> 00:55:58.840 Gone on trial for assault. 948 00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:02.119 Not pay me enough money to be this guy, to 949 00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:03.960 show it and be like the sandwich, will we hook 950 00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:07.480 guys the sandwich hoot my fee wings and my body. 951 00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:11.119 Customs and Border Patrol agent greg Lar Layermore told the 952 00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:14.119 jury the snack exploded all over him. You can smell 953 00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:17.639 the onions in the mustard on his uniform. This poor man, 954 00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:20.400 no one has ever suffered like he has. 955 00:56:20.559 --> 00:56:23.719 The funny thing is, I'm playing the video. It's wrapped 956 00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:27.719 in paper and it doesn't appear to come unwrapped when 957 00:56:27.760 --> 00:56:28.480 he throws it. 958 00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:32.320 This video is truly one of the funniest things I 959 00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:35.599 have seen. This Just the way the guy runs away 960 00:56:35.599 --> 00:56:37.760 and they all chase after him. It is like a 961 00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:38.719 cartoon moment. 962 00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:41.360 I mean, I guess it just looking a little bit 963 00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:44.440 on one end, but for the most part stays together. 964 00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:49.920 Who just whether the sandwich is intact or not. You like, 965 00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:51.960 you can't see any mustard on the guy's vest whatever, 966 00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:54.159 But just look at the way this man is running. 967 00:56:54.199 --> 00:56:58.480 He is obviously drunk. He is just it is almost 968 00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:01.719 it is cartoon esque. It is absurdist. 969 00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:02.400 We have. 970 00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:05.920 I don't even know if I have the words, what, 971 00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:08.719 how would you describe that? It's something? It's truly something. 972 00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:11.119 He could smell the onions and the mustard on his uniform. 973 00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:12.639 He could smell them. 974 00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:14.320 The improvised edible device. 975 00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:18.679 Neither side disputes that Sean Dunn, thirty seven, did, in 976 00:57:18.719 --> 00:57:21.840 fact lab obscenities and a Deli style sandwich at officers 977 00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:24.519 deployed by President Donald Trump to patrol the nation's capital 978 00:57:24.519 --> 00:57:27.639 in August, but mister Dunn's lawyer argues. 979 00:57:27.320 --> 00:57:29.000 It was not a criminal act. 980 00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:32.719 What is the charge. 981 00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:36.480 Assaulting an officer with a meal? A succulent sandwich meal. 982 00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:39.599 The incident was captured on video and went viral, making 983 00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:42.079 mister Dunn a symbol of opposition. 984 00:57:41.639 --> 00:57:44.039 In Washington, DC to Trump. 985 00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:45.199 Government. 986 00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:50.440 Prosecutors initially tried to secure fellows against mister Dunn, but 987 00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:52.400 a grand jury declined to indict him. 988 00:57:52.400 --> 00:57:54.920 This is the level of absurdity where you are at. 989 00:57:55.199 --> 00:57:59.199 They need to specify. This was a club sandwich, far 990 00:57:59.239 --> 00:58:01.880 more dangerous. 991 00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:05.639 Cav It has to be taken seriously. This was a threat. 992 00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:08.360 What if he had a wheat allergy? You don't know, 993 00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:10.679 he could be gluten intolerant. And you just throw a 994 00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:16.280 sandwich at that man. That's obviously a life threatening scenario. 995 00:58:16.360 --> 00:58:19.760 We can't have that, and as such it's a felony charge. 996 00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:20.320 But they said no. 997 00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:23.960 The grand jury said, ah, I don't think so. According 998 00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:26.320 to the charging documents, mister Dunn approached a group of 999 00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:29.840 opsers at about twenty three hundred on the tenth of August, 1000 00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:32.199 calling them fascists and shouting why are you here? I 1001 00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:34.639 don't want you in my city. What a waste of 1002 00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:38.239 a sandwich? Though I would never, I would never. The 1003 00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:41.280 court witnessed a reenactment from mister Larairmore on Tuesday as 1004 00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:46.079 he took to this to testify against mister Dunn. That's right, 1005 00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:52.480 we're going to reenact the sandwich throwing debacle. You're going 1006 00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:55.440 to have to did they get him another HOGI? Did 1007 00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:58.519 he actually get to throw it at somebody else? Mister Dunn, 1008 00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:00.320 I'm gonna need you to throw the sand which in 1009 00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:03.920 the exact same manner you did. Please the bailiff will 1010 00:59:03.920 --> 00:59:07.679 play the part. Hit him as hard as you feel necessary. 1011 00:59:08.119 --> 00:59:10.840 Mister Dun's lawyer, Julia Gato, sent her opening statement that 1012 00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:13.320 hurling the sandwich was a harmless gesture that did not 1013 00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:15.320 and could not cause injury. 1014 00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:17.320 No matter who you are, you. 1015 00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:19.679 Can't just go around throwing stuff at people because you're mad, 1016 00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:20.880 mister Parrons. 1017 00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:22.840 Said, quit New York Times again. 1018 00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:25.039 I'm not arguing that he should have thrown the sandwich 1019 00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:28.559 at the guy. I'm simply arguing that it's not harmful. 1020 00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:32.079 It didn't do anything. You don't get hit by a 1021 00:59:32.119 --> 00:59:36.039 sandwich and die, unless it's maybe one of those old 1022 00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:39.920 subway six foot subs. Maybe then, who knows, but this, 1023 00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:45.760 you would have had to drag me into court. If 1024 00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:47.199 I was the guy that got hit with the sandwich, 1025 00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:49.519 you would have had to have the KGB work me 1026 00:59:49.559 --> 00:59:51.480 over in a black site before I would agree to 1027 00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:54.840 testify against somebody because he hit me with the sandwich 1028 00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:58.480 and we we hurt. I would die first. 1029 00:59:59.199 --> 01:00:01.719 I would never like, No, that didn't hurt. No, it's 1030 01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:02.239 not salt. 1031 01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:04.199 What you think that would hurt me? 1032 01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:04.400 No? 1033 01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:11.519 Come on, I would die before admitting the sandwich hurt me, 1034 01:00:11.920 --> 01:00:14.519 and I need compensation for it. This man is a criminal. 1035 01:00:15.079 --> 01:00:17.840 He broke my body. I am bruised and battered. 1036 01:00:18.440 --> 01:00:20.440 They're coming after him for a salt and pepper. 1037 01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:26.559 All right, Well, folks, it has been fun. I hope 1038 01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:31.760 I wasn't too flippant. David will be back soon, probably Monday, 1039 01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:34.079 given how he's feeling. But I will be here tomorrow 1040 01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:38.239 to cover the news and then give you more best 1041 01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:42.239 of David Knight. Really do appreciate you, guys.

He's 1051 01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:43.719 actually had in his art put on display at the 1052 01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:46.639 nine to eleven Museum and Memorial in New York City, 1053 01:01:47.320 --> 01:01:49.719 and he's on the same page as we are, I 1054 01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:53.639 think about nine to eleven. His tenure tenure with Info 1055 01:01:53.719 --> 01:01:57.519 Wars as an illustrator and writer fully cemented his his 1056 01:01:57.639 --> 01:02:01.719 place in the world of controversial alternate news. And he's 1057 01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:04.320 been very vocal about his role in that space, and 1058 01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:07.800 so that's where I got to know Anthony, as well 1059 01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:11.159 as his work with Cheryl Slinty and Trend's Journal.

You began 1069 01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:47.840 doing copy stuff for the advertising industry and you began 1070 01:02:48.360 --> 01:02:51.280 helping them to sell Joe Campbell. Talk a little bit 1071 01:02:51.320 --> 01:02:53.960 about that and how you got from there to where 1072 01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:54.599 you are now. 1073 01:02:56.199 --> 01:02:58.159 Yeah, so it's quite a journey. I've been doing it 1074 01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:02.880 for forty years. I'll give you the contensed version. But yeah, 1075 01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:05.159 I got out of art. I had this dream of 1076 01:03:05.320 --> 01:03:13.639 becoming this, you know, famous, prosperous, thriving artists, and I 1077 01:03:13.760 --> 01:03:15.840 just wasn't prepared. I mean I went to Pradut four 1078 01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:19.360 years of training in art and painting and drawing, and 1079 01:03:19.519 --> 01:03:22.360 I was pretty proficient and I was, you know, pretty confident, 1080 01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:26.480 but they really didn't train you how to make a 1081 01:03:26.519 --> 01:03:28.880 living as an artist. So I sort of figured that 1082 01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:30.559 out of my own my own now I have to 1083 01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:34.400 make a living doing this. So crossing that threshold from 1084 01:03:34.440 --> 01:03:37.239 academy into the professional world for any artist is a 1085 01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:39.840 is a scary time. I mean, I teach seniors now 1086 01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:42.280 at f I T and that's my way of giving 1087 01:03:42.360 --> 01:03:44.679 back because I know how scared they are, so I 1088 01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:48.079 try to sort of pivot that. 1089 01:03:48.360 --> 01:03:50.320 And I think it's a scarier time right now than 1090 01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:52.480 ever has been. I mean, we look at AI and 1091 01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:55.199 a lot of people just content to throw a prompt 1092 01:03:55.199 --> 01:03:57.000 at AI and take whatever it gives them. 1093 01:03:57.000 --> 01:03:58.840 What do you think about that? How is that going 1094 01:03:58.880 --> 01:03:59.679 to affect art? 1095 01:04:01.039 --> 01:04:01.239 Well? 1096 01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:03.400 I think it's going to be not just artists going 1097 01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:05.480 to I mean, I think it's designed to create a 1098 01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:08.719 post human future where the robots do all the work 1099 01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:12.559 and they work twenty four hours a day. And I 1100 01:04:12.599 --> 01:04:15.760 mean the transhumanist you know, elevator pitch or Elevator to 1101 01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:19.840 Hell pitch, is that the robots everything for us and 1102 01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:22.760 we have the freedom to do whatever we want and 1103 01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:25.840 they'll give us a basic unit of income. I don't 1104 01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:27.400 think it's going to work out that way, but that's 1105 01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:30.559 their utopian, post human transhumanist future. 1106 01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:32.039 Yeah. 1107 01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:35.719 I had my class yesterday. The kids were crying. They 1108 01:04:35.760 --> 01:04:38.599 were literally crying because they just went to school for 1109 01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:40.159 four years to learn how to be an artist and 1110 01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:44.280 now anyone who has an AI program can do what 1111 01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:48.880 they do. So it's very demoralizing to the creatives. But 1112 01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:51.159 I mean the same thing goes for the guys who 1113 01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:53.800 remember they say to learn the code, like not anymore. 1114 01:04:54.519 --> 01:04:56.679 Yeah, they're putting themselves out of a job, that's right. 1115 01:04:58.039 --> 01:04:58.199 Well. 1116 01:04:58.239 --> 01:04:59.679 The other part of it is, though, and I think 1117 01:04:59.679 --> 01:05:01.440 we'll to this when we get to where you are 1118 01:05:01.559 --> 01:05:04.920 right now, the machine has no soul. It's going to 1119 01:05:04.920 --> 01:05:08.679 put things together statistically, and it can copy and paste 1120 01:05:08.719 --> 01:05:12.840 and throw things against the wall. And in a sense, 1121 01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:18.159 it's a sophisticated version of a chimpanzee painting, right, And 1122 01:05:18.239 --> 01:05:20.440 so there is still going to be a niche there, 1123 01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:24.320 I think for the human soul communicating truth and beauty. 1124 01:05:24.800 --> 01:05:26.880 I think that's really the issue there and that's what 1125 01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:29.039 we have to focus on. And I think that that's 1126 01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:31.280 going to be pretty obvious to people. You know, there's 1127 01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:34.480 a lot of things that AI can do, especially I 1128 01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:38.519 think in the art aspect, because it can hallucinate and 1129 01:05:40.079 --> 01:05:42.960 it looks like it's, you know, having a drug trip 1130 01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:45.679 or whatever, and that can be useful in art or 1131 01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:48.199 even in music to some degree. But when you look 1132 01:05:48.199 --> 01:05:50.239 at the kind when I look at it for music, 1133 01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:55.119 for example, the thing about AI is that you can't 1134 01:05:55.159 --> 01:05:58.000 precisely get it to do what you want. You know, 1135 01:05:58.079 --> 01:06:00.599 it can get like eighty percent there, eighty five percent there, 1136 01:06:00.599 --> 01:06:04.639 which is not good enough for art. As many people 1137 01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:07.320 have said, art has never finished. It is simply abandoned. 1138 01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:07.960 At some point. 1139 01:06:07.960 --> 01:06:10.239 You've got to stop tweaking it and just go do 1140 01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:13.519 something different the next project or whatever. And I think 1141 01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:16.199 that's the problem with AI. It just throws this stuff 1142 01:06:16.239 --> 01:06:18.320 out there and people say, ah, that's good enough. I 1143 01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:22.239 think there's going to be a qualitative difference that people 1144 01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:24.519 will be able to tell that last fifteen or twenty 1145 01:06:24.599 --> 01:06:29.039 percent that is there. Yes, I agree with you, Yeah, 1146 01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:30.000 that's my hope we do. 1147 01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:35.880 But I think you're right. Listen, our advantage moving forward 1148 01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:39.400 is the robots don't laugh, they don't cry, they don't love, 1149 01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:43.159 that's right. They're not connected to God. In fact, I 1150 01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:46.280 think it's the opposite that you're right. I think I 1151 01:06:46.360 --> 01:06:50.599 have this idea that just as a holy spirit is 1152 01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:55.719 this unifying force and universal force of good and God, 1153 01:06:56.800 --> 01:07:01.000 the adverse the into that yang is this unifying force 1154 01:07:01.079 --> 01:07:05.840 of darkness which informs and which has basically a cauldron 1155 01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:09.039 for this ai to be created. And we're incarnating it 1156 01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:13.079 by giving it prompts and giving it life. But that 1157 01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:16.199 spirit is a dark spirit, and I sense that, and 1158 01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:17.840 I feel that it's an anti human spirit. 1159 01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:21.559 But so Elon Musk agrees with you as well. He said, 1160 01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:22.639 we're summoning the demon. 1161 01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:25.880 Yeah, maybe we're to pay attention to what he's saying 1162 01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:27.599 about that. 1163 01:07:29.719 --> 01:07:32.000 Some of these guys who are atheists say, there's something 1164 01:07:32.039 --> 01:07:36.440 here that mathematics doesn't you know, describe or defined. It's 1165 01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:39.239 something beyond mathematics, So what's going on? They don't even know. 1166 01:07:39.760 --> 01:07:42.719 The guys who created it don't even know how. You know, 1167 01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:46.800 these systems arrive at the decisions that they make to 1168 01:07:46.840 --> 01:07:49.760 certain points. It's called black box technology, right that they 1169 01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:55.320 it's it's it's opaque, but robout to understand it. But 1170 01:07:55.480 --> 01:07:58.920 they might not, but they understand us though. That's the problem, 1171 01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:00.920 like we don't understand how how they do what they do, 1172 01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:03.360 but they understand us. I mean, they have so much 1173 01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:07.519 big data about humanity and what moves us and I 1174 01:08:07.599 --> 01:08:13.320 influence us that it's a lopsided relationship. 1175 01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:14.559 That's why it's such a. 1176 01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:18.039 Good fit for the government, because the government knows everything 1177 01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:21.560 about us. But the government itself is by design a 1178 01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:24.880 black box that black boxes labeled national security. 1179 01:08:24.920 --> 01:08:26.920 We can't tell you, we'd have to kill you, right. 1180 01:08:27.560 --> 01:08:30.960 So exactly. Yeah, so man, I could talk about AI 1181 01:08:31.000 --> 01:08:31.680 for hours. 1182 01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:34.159 But yeah, yeah, but let's go back to your story. 1183 01:08:34.199 --> 01:08:36.920 You were you were doing, started working at an ad 1184 01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:39.039 agency as you gun out trying to. 1185 01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:41.760 Start working at it. Yeah, I was a young man, 1186 01:08:42.079 --> 01:08:46.920 you know, young man. I listed it after money and woman, 1187 01:08:47.119 --> 01:08:51.279 and I was in my twenties and I became very successful. 1188 01:08:51.279 --> 01:08:57.520 We're working for Fortune five hundred companies and I I 1189 01:08:57.560 --> 01:08:59.720 was in advertising about ten years and I started to 1190 01:08:59.800 --> 01:09:04.279 learn and see all the psychological tricks of manipulations, you know, 1191 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:09.840 informed by the ideas of Edward Burnees and his he 1192 01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:13.800 was the master of mass psychological manipulation, right, and that 1193 01:09:13.920 --> 01:09:18.079 was employed. He was contracted by the government and by 1194 01:09:18.079 --> 01:09:22.600 ad agencies it's a long story, but those ideas work 1195 01:09:22.680 --> 01:09:27.399 because people respond positively a certain stimuli negatively to other stimuli. 1196 01:09:27.439 --> 01:09:30.920 Like we're pretty predictable animals. And once you break that code, 1197 01:09:31.560 --> 01:09:35.079 you're trying to sell something, and you're smart and clever, 1198 01:09:35.159 --> 01:09:37.000 you can figure out a way to do it. But 1199 01:09:37.760 --> 01:09:40.760 I got really turned off. I was working on the 1200 01:09:40.840 --> 01:09:44.159 Joe Campbell ad campaign and in those days, they were, 1201 01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:46.720 you know, paying us a lot of money to do 1202 01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:49.520 this stuff, and I was just enamored with the money. 1203 01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:52.199 And I bought a you know, condo in Manhattan, and 1204 01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:54.520 I thought I was like living on top of the world. 1205 01:09:55.119 --> 01:09:57.720 And then so I kind of got lost in that 1206 01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:05.239 that world of money and success. And then the FTC 1207 01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:09.800 determined that our campaign was illegal because we were using 1208 01:10:09.840 --> 01:10:13.039 cartoon camels. They said we were marketing cigaretts to children. 1209 01:10:15.239 --> 01:10:17.680 So I sort of had a moral crisis. And I 1210 01:10:17.720 --> 01:10:20.119 didn't become an artist to sell cigarette to kids, right, 1211 01:10:20.119 --> 01:10:20.840 And I said, you. 1212 01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:25.399 Know, maybe gave a job professor, because they sell poison 1213 01:10:25.439 --> 01:10:26.279 the kids all the time. 1214 01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:30.159 That's what they're on in the story. Yeah, So I 1215 01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:32.880 had this crisis. It's come to Jesus moment. I said, 1216 01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:35.399 that's it. I'm done with advertising. I'm not going to 1217 01:10:35.439 --> 01:10:38.960 sell my soul to the devil. So I was still 1218 01:10:39.439 --> 01:10:41.760 you know, now, I'm a young man in my thirties. 1219 01:10:42.520 --> 01:10:47.039 I was pretty naive politically at that time. And I said, 1220 01:10:47.079 --> 01:10:48.680 I'm going to work for the good guys, right, I'm 1221 01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:52.720 going to work for New York Times and then a Yorker, 1222 01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:56.039 and I started working for, you know, all these mainstream 1223 01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:59.319 publications as an editorial illustrator. And I worked for the 1224 01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:01.840 outbed page New York Times, which is like a premier 1225 01:11:01.960 --> 01:11:06.920 showcase for thinkers and for I kind of like where 1226 01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:08.119 the elite speak to each other. 1227 01:11:08.359 --> 01:11:09.640 Sure, and. 1228 01:11:11.119 --> 01:11:13.560 And I was again, I was on top of the oil, 1229 01:11:13.600 --> 01:11:16.119 and I'm working like, you know, the best place for 1230 01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:18.279 an illustrated to be. And I was doing articles for 1231 01:11:18.359 --> 01:11:22.600 them on a regular basis. And then I got to 1232 01:11:22.640 --> 01:11:27.319 see how the sausage is made there, and the the 1233 01:11:28.199 --> 01:11:31.000 art director and the editor told me that every single 1234 01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:33.119 word that goes through here has to be vetted by 1235 01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:36.920 the State Department. And I said, I said, I thought, 1236 01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:40.520 you know, you're the fourth ward. You're I said, that's 1237 01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:43.520 like proud. The word has to be the State Department. 1238 01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:48.319 They said, that's that's how it is. So my naive 1239 01:11:48.319 --> 01:11:51.319 ta started to you know, unravel. At that point, I 1240 01:11:51.359 --> 01:11:54.079 started to become a little more educated about how the 1241 01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:57.840 world really works. And I feel silly now saying that, 1242 01:11:57.880 --> 01:11:59.680 but I thought the New York Times was this like 1243 01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:04.199 beak the truth and objectivity. I mean, I couldn't be 1244 01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:08.800 more wrong. But so I got an assignment to do. 1245 01:12:09.159 --> 01:12:12.840 It was not that piece right before the Iraq War, 1246 01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:17.279 penned by the then Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, and 1247 01:12:17.359 --> 01:12:19.239 it was outlining all the lives that we know now 1248 01:12:19.439 --> 01:12:20.000 that took us. 1249 01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:20.479 To that war. 1250 01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:24.479 And I illustrate the piece. And then I had another 1251 01:12:24.880 --> 01:12:28.359 moral crisis. This guy said to myself, My god, I 1252 01:12:28.399 --> 01:12:32.800 went from selling cigarettes to kids to selling war. This 1253 01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:35.640 is first. I didn't think I could do worse than that, 1254 01:12:36.079 --> 01:12:42.399 but I did. So I had another, you know, time 1255 01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:44.479 to question what am I doing with my life? What 1256 01:12:44.520 --> 01:12:46.600 are my life choices? What do I really what do 1257 01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:49.800 I really want to do with my skills and my 1258 01:12:49.800 --> 01:12:53.680 my whatever gift Guy's given me and my passions, And 1259 01:12:53.800 --> 01:12:56.520 I mean, I love to create imageries. It's the only 1260 01:12:56.600 --> 01:12:59.000 thing I'm good at. So I wanted to stay in 1261 01:12:59.039 --> 01:13:04.720 that lane. So right then, it was about the time 1262 01:13:05.680 --> 01:13:09.359 that these seminal alternative news sides started coming out, like 1263 01:13:09.439 --> 01:13:12.560 info Wars, and there was a few others and trans 1264 01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:17.000 journal and I reached out to them, and because I figured, 1265 01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:22.359 these guys are exposing the lives of the mainstream media 1266 01:13:22.399 --> 01:13:24.720 that I used to work for and of the advertising 1267 01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:27.039 agencies I used to work for. So I wanted to 1268 01:13:27.039 --> 01:13:30.239 bite the hand that fed me. So I started. I 1269 01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:34.279 started working for people and the health freedom movement and 1270 01:13:34.279 --> 01:13:37.239 people and the liberty movement and people and all these 1271 01:13:37.239 --> 01:13:40.199 different movements, you know, people like you included. 1272 01:13:40.520 --> 01:13:40.600 And. 1273 01:13:43.239 --> 01:13:46.760 I've been there ever since because I do think there 1274 01:13:46.760 --> 01:13:49.279 are there are good people out there who are trying 1275 01:13:49.319 --> 01:13:52.319 to get to the truth of the matter about all 1276 01:13:52.439 --> 01:13:58.680 these issues, and journalists and activists and filmmakers and writers, 1277 01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:01.039 and I worked for a lot of them and they're 1278 01:14:01.079 --> 01:14:09.319 my heroes. So and then politically I got I was 1279 01:14:09.319 --> 01:14:11.279 on the contract for the RFK campaign when he was 1280 01:14:11.359 --> 01:14:13.880 running for president because I believed in what he was doing, 1281 01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:21.640 his his work to expose vaccines and the dangers of pharmaceuticals. 1282 01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:23.520 Right, so. 1283 01:14:25.039 --> 01:14:28.560 I still have a hand in the political realm, but 1284 01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:31.039 I'm basically working for people who I think are the 1285 01:14:31.039 --> 01:14:33.439 good guys. You know that I can sleep well at 1286 01:14:33.520 --> 01:14:35.960 night now, David, because I think I'm working for people, 1287 01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:38.239 or at least trying to tell all the truth. You know, 1288 01:14:38.319 --> 01:14:43.319 it's like it's not equivalent like when like when people 1289 01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:46.239 get fined for like the way they went after Alex 1290 01:14:46.279 --> 01:14:49.680 for whatever he said, Like the New York Times and 1291 01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:53.880 CNN tell lies of much greater magnitude every day, and 1292 01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:57.560 they nobody sued. And and by the way, their lies 1293 01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:00.479 lead to wars that kill millions of people. There sell 1294 01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:03.279 products that kill millions of people, like and they're never 1295 01:15:03.359 --> 01:15:08.000 held accounnibal and then and they're not The difference between 1296 01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:12.760 them and say what independent journalists who is that they're 1297 01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:15.680 purposely trying to lie to you. They know they're lying 1298 01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:17.560 to you. You know, it's one thing to make a 1299 01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:20.319 mistake in the in the you know, the search for 1300 01:15:20.359 --> 01:15:22.039 the truth. We're not always going to be perfect. But 1301 01:15:22.520 --> 01:15:26.600 there's a big difference to somebody who's purposely knowing to 1302 01:15:26.640 --> 01:15:30.039 lie to you, to hurt you and your children, then 1303 01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:32.039 somebody who's just trying to figure out real time what 1304 01:15:32.079 --> 01:15:35.800 the hell's going on. Because it's very confusing. We've been 1305 01:15:35.840 --> 01:15:40.800 lyed to so much about so about everything that people 1306 01:15:40.840 --> 01:15:44.800 become so skeptical that, you know, I think it unfortunately, 1307 01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:49.039 it fosters this environment where nobody believes anything, and that's 1308 01:15:49.039 --> 01:15:51.279 who we're at now. Nobody believes anything, so they come 1309 01:15:51.359 --> 01:15:54.079 up with one hundred different theories of how Charlie Kirk 1310 01:15:54.199 --> 01:15:57.479 was killed, right, because nobody believes the official story, and 1311 01:15:58.439 --> 01:16:02.560 we can never get to the bottom anything because everybody 1312 01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:04.720 has their own theory about what happened, and there's no 1313 01:16:05.159 --> 01:16:08.920 universal truth anymore. We're in the post truth age, and 1314 01:16:09.359 --> 01:16:11.720 I think that's the truth is going to be the greatest, 1315 01:16:11.840 --> 01:16:15.920 most valuable commodity in the future. 1316 01:16:15.239 --> 01:16:18.079 I mean, here's what you need. Here's the fundamental truth. 1317 01:16:18.199 --> 01:16:22.279 Government lies, it always has, always will for its own interest. 1318 01:16:22.520 --> 01:16:25.399 So if you understand that kind of whatever the government 1319 01:16:25.399 --> 01:16:28.000 says or the official press says, with a healthy dose 1320 01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:30.720 of skepticism, I think that's the most important thing. You know, 1321 01:16:30.760 --> 01:16:34.279 you mentioned the fact that you realize that they had 1322 01:16:34.279 --> 01:16:36.000 to get the approval of the State Department for what 1323 01:16:36.039 --> 01:16:38.079 they were saying at the New York Times, and of 1324 01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:40.359 course we know about Operation mocking Bird and the. 1325 01:16:40.359 --> 01:16:41.000 Rest of this stuff. 1326 01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:46.520 I thought it was really amazing, the disingenuous astonishment of 1327 01:16:46.600 --> 01:16:50.159 the fact that Hegseth openly said, well, you're going to 1328 01:16:50.199 --> 01:16:52.399 have to get approval for anything that you release. I 1329 01:16:52.439 --> 01:16:56.000 don't like that, But that's not anything that's really different. 1330 01:16:56.079 --> 01:16:58.239 The only thing that's different about that is that they're 1331 01:16:58.239 --> 01:17:00.880 going to own it and say it out loud rather 1332 01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:03.840 than doing it behind closed doors. I had a friend 1333 01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:06.359 who worked at the Pentagon, and he worked for the 1334 01:17:07.239 --> 01:17:09.680 side that was vetting movie scripts. If they liked your 1335 01:17:09.720 --> 01:17:13.199 movie script, if it was complimentary of them and their agenda, 1336 01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:16.319 they would give you access to military equipment that you 1337 01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:18.479 could use to film your movie. If they didn't like it, 1338 01:17:18.520 --> 01:17:21.279 you didn't get that equipment, and that might sink your 1339 01:17:21.279 --> 01:17:24.000 movie because the expense of trying to get that equipment. 1340 01:17:24.039 --> 01:17:27.079 Otherwise they provide it at a reduced cost or for free. 1341 01:17:27.199 --> 01:17:29.479 So that kind of thing has been going along for 1342 01:17:29.560 --> 01:17:30.520 a very long time. 1343 01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:34.800 Yeah, I mean, I'm still surprised. I remember, I'm older. 1344 01:17:34.840 --> 01:17:37.159 I remember Frank Church, the Church Committee here. It's like 1345 01:17:37.399 --> 01:17:39.319 he had the receipts, he proved it back in the 1346 01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:43.640 seventies and nobody cared. It's like it did nothing. They 1347 01:17:43.680 --> 01:17:45.000 just went back to business as usual. 1348 01:17:45.239 --> 01:17:47.159 Yeah, that's right. 1349 01:17:47.279 --> 01:17:50.159 I mean, you know, thank God for him and his work, 1350 01:17:50.199 --> 01:17:52.319 but I mean, you really didn't do anything in the 1351 01:17:52.359 --> 01:17:52.920 big picture. 1352 01:17:53.159 --> 01:17:55.720 Yeah, And all the stuff about the heart attack gun. 1353 01:17:55.800 --> 01:17:59.159 As I've said before, that was really a distraction because 1354 01:17:59.159 --> 01:18:02.920 the whole thing began because from their inception, the CIA 1355 01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:06.279 and the NSA were spying on Americans without a search warrant, 1356 01:18:06.640 --> 01:18:08.880 which you know takes us. We've been finding that thing 1357 01:18:08.960 --> 01:18:12.960 going up to you know, twenty twelve, twenty thirteen at Snowden, 1358 01:18:13.039 --> 01:18:15.319 all the rest of the stuff. So the result of 1359 01:18:15.359 --> 01:18:18.800 that was still the result of the Church Committee hearings, 1360 01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:22.640 was the Faiza Act, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which 1361 01:18:22.680 --> 01:18:25.279 they then used to give themselves legal cover to do 1362 01:18:25.319 --> 01:18:27.760 what they'd been doing from their inception, which was to 1363 01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:31.479 spy on Americans with a search warrant, as Ran Paul says, 1364 01:18:32.199 --> 01:18:34.720 you know, spying on mister and missus Verizon. You know, 1365 01:18:34.760 --> 01:18:37.439 you go to one judge and a secret court that 1366 01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:41.119 nobody knows about, and you get legal cover to violate 1367 01:18:41.119 --> 01:18:44.239 the Constitution. So they always turned this stuff to their 1368 01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:45.800 own advantage. 1369 01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:48.439 Well, yeah, and I was speaking of that subject. I 1370 01:18:48.479 --> 01:18:50.840 worked one of my heroes, William Benny and I had 1371 01:18:50.840 --> 01:18:54.560 the pleasure of working on a documentary about William. I 1372 01:18:54.600 --> 01:18:57.640 met him, just a great guy and he is. I mean, 1373 01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:01.159 we quit because he said the system he desired to 1374 01:19:01.239 --> 01:19:04.319 spy on potential terrorists with being used to spy on 1375 01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:08.880 everybody and that's against the oath he took, and that's illegal, 1376 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:10.239 and he said he's not gonna do it. So what 1377 01:19:10.279 --> 01:19:13.880 do they do? They FBI raided his house and arrested 1378 01:19:13.920 --> 01:19:18.880 him under false pretenses and false charges. But yeah, so 1379 01:19:19.840 --> 01:19:23.239 just get back to my journey. So done those track. 1380 01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:27.640 After the RFK thing, I worked for him for a 1381 01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:29.600 year and it was a great experience and I got 1382 01:19:29.600 --> 01:19:32.880 to see just how dirty the Democrats are. I mean, 1383 01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:36.119 Republicans basically left him alone. You know, Trump would make 1384 01:19:36.199 --> 01:19:40.439 some you know, nasty comments now and then, but the 1385 01:19:40.439 --> 01:19:46.640 Democrats actively tried to destroy him with lawsuits and moles 1386 01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:50.359 and people doing dirty tricks. And it was a constant, 1387 01:19:50.439 --> 01:19:54.439 relentless assault on him that really opened my eyes again. 1388 01:19:54.520 --> 01:19:58.479 I mean I was naive again, like whenever I underestimate 1389 01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:01.720 how evil these people are and how they are to 1390 01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:06.600 be corrupt and to use the power they have or 1391 01:20:06.680 --> 01:20:10.039 abuse any power they have in the courts, in the media, 1392 01:20:10.359 --> 01:20:14.680 in academia, in tech, I mean, which which they control 1393 01:20:15.039 --> 01:20:20.560 those institutions, unfortunately, and it just it sickened me. It 1394 01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:22.720 sick of me, the way that they smeared him and 1395 01:20:22.760 --> 01:20:26.560 lied about him and sued him and tried to play 1396 01:20:26.560 --> 01:20:29.800 dirty tricks with ballots and just on and on and on. 1397 01:20:30.560 --> 01:20:34.479 So so then I got that made me realize that 1398 01:20:35.479 --> 01:20:39.760 the battle isn't political, This battle is spiritual. So I 1399 01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:42.079 had I wanted to move from the temporal plane into 1400 01:20:42.079 --> 01:20:44.359 the spiritual plane with my work and got back to 1401 01:20:44.399 --> 01:20:50.079 my Christian roots. I was raised a Catholic, and I 1402 01:20:50.119 --> 01:20:57.880 had a personal experience with my My fiance started having seizures. 1403 01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:00.920 One night we were watching actually there was Obama movie. 1404 01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:06.319 Uh it was like an apocalyptic Obama movie, Leave the 1405 01:21:06.520 --> 01:21:09.920 Leave the World Behind, which have to be a foreboding 1406 01:21:09.960 --> 01:21:14.479 title because my my girlfriends were watching this. She says, 1407 01:21:14.800 --> 01:21:17.680 my heart hurts and I don't feel right. And I said, 1408 01:21:18.279 --> 01:21:21.279 I said, maybe this anxiety from this Obama show is 1409 01:21:21.359 --> 01:21:24.680 you know, screw Obama's not watched this as upsetting you. 1410 01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:29.880 And then she just went into seizures and she was 1411 01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:34.079 extreetly healthy. She was extremely There was nothing, no pre 1412 01:21:34.159 --> 01:21:38.439 existing condition. She just started composting and seizing and just 1413 01:21:38.720 --> 01:21:43.359 went thousand yards stare and stopped breathing. And I'm not 1414 01:21:43.399 --> 01:21:46.720 a doctor, but I think breathing is pretty important. And 1415 01:21:48.039 --> 01:21:49.760 I didn't know what to do with David. I felt 1416 01:21:49.800 --> 01:21:53.039 so inadequate and helpless. I had no idea what to do. 1417 01:21:53.159 --> 01:21:57.199 I should do chest compression, I didn't know. I didn't 1418 01:21:57.239 --> 01:22:00.640 know what set to call nine one one, and and 1419 01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:04.680 I just held her and she was in this in 1420 01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:09.880 this state of like comotose state. I don't know she 1421 01:22:09.960 --> 01:22:14.000 was dying. I thought she was dying. And then she 1422 01:22:14.039 --> 01:22:16.119 came out of it from a for a brief moment 1423 01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:21.319 with this from this look of just terror and fear 1424 01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:24.159 to this this calm and this peace came over her 1425 01:22:24.439 --> 01:22:25.560 and she started laughing. 1426 01:22:26.359 --> 01:22:26.600 Hmm. 1427 01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:30.960 And I thought of was this all a joke? But 1428 01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:34.399 she's not that, She's not that kind of person. And 1429 01:22:34.439 --> 01:22:37.000 she and she was laughing, and her whole faces and 1430 01:22:37.039 --> 01:22:38.880 the whole body was just relaxed, and she was at 1431 01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:43.600 a place of peace. And then she clinched back and 1432 01:22:43.640 --> 01:22:47.479 went back into this convulsive state. And I believe like 1433 01:22:47.560 --> 01:22:50.359 she went to the other side I believe she was. 1434 01:22:50.399 --> 01:22:54.279 She was at peace with God for for a brief period, 1435 01:22:54.520 --> 01:22:57.800 and that it just wasn't her time, or she just 1436 01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:01.359 got sent back, or I don't know obviously what happened, 1437 01:23:01.399 --> 01:23:02.319 but it was. 1438 01:23:02.760 --> 01:23:04.199 Do you have any recollection of that? 1439 01:23:05.520 --> 01:23:08.119 No, no, of any of it. Your brain doesn't remember 1440 01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:14.920 that stuff. I'd probably protect you. But it was extraordinary 1441 01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:19.520 and it reawakened my faith. And that was a year 1442 01:23:19.560 --> 01:23:21.600 and a half ago. And thank god she's healthy now. 1443 01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:23.840 Seventy five percent of the people who go through when 1444 01:23:23.840 --> 01:23:26.520 she went went through, it was a brain brain bleed. 1445 01:23:27.239 --> 01:23:29.560 Seventy five percent of the people die that happens to 1446 01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:33.479 so she was coma. She had a long convalescence, but 1447 01:23:33.840 --> 01:23:38.920 thank god she's she's healthy now. Yes, And it brought 1448 01:23:38.960 --> 01:23:41.640 both of us closer to God. And it made me 1449 01:23:41.720 --> 01:23:46.680 want to dedicate my work to the Lord. And every 1450 01:23:46.760 --> 01:23:50.239 piece I do now is a devotion to God. Every 1451 01:23:50.279 --> 01:23:53.479 stroke of my pen is a meditation of prayer, and 1452 01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:57.760 I want to lean into that as much as I 1453 01:23:57.800 --> 01:23:58.520 possibly can. 1454 01:23:58.720 --> 01:23:59.239 That's great. 1455 01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:01.319 You know, before you came on, we were talking about 1456 01:24:01.319 --> 01:24:05.720 what's going on in Canterbury Cathedral and that used to 1457 01:24:05.720 --> 01:24:08.760 be the basis for why people would make these elaborate 1458 01:24:08.800 --> 01:24:12.359 cathedrals was that of a devotion to God and wanting 1459 01:24:12.439 --> 01:24:15.319 to honor him, and of course, depending on what gifts 1460 01:24:15.359 --> 01:24:17.600 He has given us, we can all have different ways 1461 01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:21.359 that we can do that. And you know, whatever your 1462 01:24:21.479 --> 01:24:23.680 job is, you can always do it in a way 1463 01:24:23.720 --> 01:24:27.760 that you try to honor God. And yet, what do 1464 01:24:27.800 --> 01:24:30.439 you think about did you see that that story where 1465 01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:33.960 they paid somebody to do graffiti on the interior walls 1466 01:24:34.079 --> 01:24:35.920 of Canterbury Cathedral. 1467 01:24:36.000 --> 01:24:36.640 Did you see that? 1468 01:24:37.960 --> 01:24:38.199 Yeah? 1469 01:24:38.439 --> 01:24:45.439 To me, it's it's worse than graffiti, it's vandalism. But 1470 01:24:46.560 --> 01:24:48.560 you know, it's like, it's so funny because these things 1471 01:24:48.560 --> 01:24:50.920 that were created in the so called Dark Age, they 1472 01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:54.800 couldn't make those today. It's because what you said, it's 1473 01:24:54.880 --> 01:24:58.079 because they weren't doing it for the profit motive, right, 1474 01:24:58.359 --> 01:25:03.159 They were doing it the profit motives, you know, spelled differently. 1475 01:25:03.760 --> 01:25:08.319 And that's the only way humans can create something like that. 1476 01:25:08.560 --> 01:25:10.000 Your heart and soul has to be in it. I mean, 1477 01:25:10.039 --> 01:25:12.720 you go into those cathedrals and you feel the presence 1478 01:25:12.760 --> 01:25:16.880 of God, you feel the presence of the highest achievement 1479 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:19.439 humanity is capable of. And they did it in the 1480 01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:22.119 so called dark ages, like with none of the tools 1481 01:25:22.159 --> 01:25:26.560 and the technology we have, Like it's it's astonishing, and 1482 01:25:26.560 --> 01:25:30.960 it's just just the amount of time and human labor 1483 01:25:31.000 --> 01:25:34.079 and life force and sacrifice and artistry and craftsmanship and 1484 01:25:34.119 --> 01:25:37.319 skill that went into those things. Just that alone is 1485 01:25:37.479 --> 01:25:44.000 enough to uplift your spirit. They're uplifting edifices and monuments 1486 01:25:44.039 --> 01:25:47.920 and and today we have monuments like the nine to 1487 01:25:47.920 --> 01:25:51.479 eleven Monument, which is a it's a black box, it's 1488 01:25:51.520 --> 01:25:54.520 a whole, it's like a giant urinal. You go to 1489 01:25:55.279 --> 01:26:00.159 it's the you know that black box memorial, and it's 1490 01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:04.680 just like a spinning sucking hole to hell, no light excuse, 1491 01:26:05.199 --> 01:26:09.520 and it's just there's nothing uplifting about it. So you 1492 01:26:09.520 --> 01:26:11.760 want to jump in and kill yourself and be sucked 1493 01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:17.199 into hell. So that's the feeling I get when I 1494 01:26:17.239 --> 01:26:19.479 go there. And I think in some ways it's appropriate 1495 01:26:19.520 --> 01:26:26.199 considering that we know what happened there. But it's just 1496 01:26:27.159 --> 01:26:30.680 the answer to everything I think is just we had 1497 01:26:30.680 --> 01:26:32.720 to try to live like saints. I mean, if everybody 1498 01:26:32.920 --> 01:26:36.960 lived to the to the better angels, the whole world 1499 01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:40.239 would overnight become a better place. Everybody's trying to fix 1500 01:26:40.520 --> 01:26:44.119 go into all these marches and protests and all this nonsense. 1501 01:26:44.119 --> 01:26:45.960 And it's like, fix yourself first. 1502 01:26:46.760 --> 01:26:47.520 If you fix your. 1503 01:26:47.840 --> 01:26:50.479 And you just just be a good person, that's it. 1504 01:26:51.279 --> 01:26:54.039 Don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, don't hurt your neighbor. 1505 01:26:55.119 --> 01:26:57.800 That alone, there'll be no more crime. Right, Why would 1506 01:26:57.800 --> 01:27:00.239 there be a crime? Crime is based on him and 1507 01:27:00.319 --> 01:27:02.960 doing something that he knows as spinful and knows is 1508 01:27:03.000 --> 01:27:06.760 illegal and oas is wrong. So instead of trying to 1509 01:27:06.800 --> 01:27:10.920 fix the world from the outside, you got to fix 1510 01:27:10.960 --> 01:27:14.159 it inwardly, you know, get closer to God and understand 1511 01:27:14.159 --> 01:27:19.319 that the infinite power and glory of God is not 1512 01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:21.720 a separate thing from you. It's within you. That light 1513 01:27:21.840 --> 01:27:27.520 is within you, and you just need to accept it 1514 01:27:27.600 --> 01:27:33.560 and let that connection grow and become stronger with everything 1515 01:27:33.600 --> 01:27:36.520 you do, and every good thing you do makes it stronger. 1516 01:27:36.720 --> 01:27:39.079 You feel closer to God from every good thing you do, 1517 01:27:39.159 --> 01:27:42.560 every good work you make and agree. 1518 01:27:43.159 --> 01:27:46.199 Yeah, it's a very powerful sermon that they actually wound 1519 01:27:46.239 --> 01:27:50.079 up doing as a lecturer as to what is wrong 1520 01:27:50.119 --> 01:27:52.079 with our society. I think because when you look at 1521 01:27:52.159 --> 01:27:55.760 the graffiti, not only did they go into a place 1522 01:27:55.840 --> 01:28:00.479 that was beautiful and uplifting and they essentially tear it 1523 01:28:00.560 --> 01:28:03.039 down with their ugly stuff that they put on it. 1524 01:28:03.479 --> 01:28:06.520 And the most the ugliest thing about what they were 1525 01:28:06.520 --> 01:28:09.279 putting on there with their graffiti was what it actually said. 1526 01:28:10.279 --> 01:28:13.640 It was a rage against God and his creation, every 1527 01:28:13.680 --> 01:28:17.560 bit of it. And that's really kind of shows us 1528 01:28:17.560 --> 01:28:20.640 where our society is. So the Church of England is 1529 01:28:20.680 --> 01:28:25.399 still setting the foundation for England, it's just setting a 1530 01:28:25.439 --> 01:28:27.199 Satanic foundation that is there. 1531 01:28:27.680 --> 01:28:29.159 And absolutely yeah. 1532 01:28:29.880 --> 01:28:34.119 I mean that's that's a purposeful defilement. It's like putting 1533 01:28:34.119 --> 01:28:37.119 the Cross upside down. Like everything they do is an version, 1534 01:28:38.319 --> 01:28:41.640 like the pentagram. The original five point star was supposed 1535 01:28:41.680 --> 01:28:45.039 to represent the five wounds of Christ and so the 1536 01:28:45.039 --> 01:28:50.119 Satanists inverted it and turned it into the pentagram. So 1537 01:28:50.159 --> 01:28:54.039 those symbols are very important and imagery is important and 1538 01:28:54.399 --> 01:28:59.279 they know that, and they use it to their satanic purposes. 1539 01:28:59.680 --> 01:29:01.760 Yes, and the. 1540 01:29:01.359 --> 01:29:05.960 Defilement of God and dishonoring of God. And we see 1541 01:29:06.000 --> 01:29:11.800 the you know the result. Just look around you. I 1542 01:29:11.800 --> 01:29:16.760 mean it's like there's demons everywhere, and there's demons in 1543 01:29:16.840 --> 01:29:20.640 high places and low places, and and you know, society 1544 01:29:20.760 --> 01:29:22.880 rots from the top down. I think it starts with 1545 01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:28.640 these people who just who design these so called utopias 1546 01:29:28.640 --> 01:29:32.239 for us, like the AI post human utopia. I think 1547 01:29:32.279 --> 01:29:36.760 they hate themselves, the missanthropes, and they project their hatred 1548 01:29:37.279 --> 01:29:41.239 self hatred onto humanity, and then if they can destroy humanity, 1549 01:29:41.279 --> 01:29:44.319 they can somehow destroy the parts of themselves that they hate, 1550 01:29:44.359 --> 01:29:46.159 like in a Youngie and Shadow sort of. 1551 01:29:46.600 --> 01:29:49.960 I agree, Yeah, especially when you look at the transgender stuff. 1552 01:29:50.239 --> 01:29:52.479 The purpose of that is to take very young and 1553 01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:56.239 impressionable people or maybe even somebody who's an adult and 1554 01:29:56.279 --> 01:30:00.560 that's very impressionable, like Christopher Beck who as a Navy 1555 01:30:00.600 --> 01:30:03.439 seal that they pushed into becoming a training But it's 1556 01:30:03.520 --> 01:30:07.479 to train them to hate their body, to hate themselves, uh, 1557 01:30:07.520 --> 01:30:10.960 and then to engage in self mutilation. And so I 1558 01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:14.359 think that is truly the satanic aspect of it. Tell 1559 01:30:14.439 --> 01:30:17.920 us little bit about your project Jesus Jesus Park that 1560 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:21.399 you're working on. You've got to go fundme attached to 1561 01:30:21.439 --> 01:30:23.680 that as well, But tell us about that. I think 1562 01:30:23.720 --> 01:30:24.760 we've got a picture. 1563 01:30:24.520 --> 01:30:27.119 Lance of that you can show the audience of that. 1564 01:30:27.840 --> 01:30:32.000 So free is that I just started, Yeah, I had this, 1565 01:30:32.359 --> 01:30:38.319 I had this dream. Is this vision David of this 1566 01:30:38.560 --> 01:30:47.640 park and this beautiful sort of pastoral natural setting with 1567 01:30:47.760 --> 01:30:53.840 trees and rocks, and and I've done a lot of 1568 01:30:53.880 --> 01:30:58.960 imagery of Christ, and I wanted to create the face 1569 01:30:59.039 --> 01:31:02.479 of Christ out of all natural materials, like his crown 1570 01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:06.479 of thorns would be actual trees, like you know, So 1571 01:31:06.600 --> 01:31:08.760 the scale would be enormous, like his face might take 1572 01:31:08.800 --> 01:31:12.520 up a half acre or more. But it will be 1573 01:31:12.560 --> 01:31:17.239 a place of a contemplation, a place of prayer, place 1574 01:31:17.319 --> 01:31:21.119 of a place of peace. And for me, it'll be 1575 01:31:21.119 --> 01:31:24.600 a labor of love and a devotion to God. And 1576 01:31:26.039 --> 01:31:27.479 they I say it came to me in the dream 1577 01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:31.920 download and I just feel like I feel like I 1578 01:31:31.960 --> 01:31:35.239 have I have to make this thing. And while I 1579 01:31:35.319 --> 01:31:42.439 still I'm still young enough, which might not be. So 1580 01:31:43.479 --> 01:31:47.720 that's what I'm working on right now. And I do 1581 01:31:47.800 --> 01:31:52.520 need some funds to realize it, talking to some some 1582 01:31:52.680 --> 01:31:55.279 churches and to have land and trying to find the 1583 01:31:55.359 --> 01:31:59.079 right spot for it. But I think it will be 1584 01:31:59.279 --> 01:32:08.279 uh an incredible lasting monument and shrine really that I 1585 01:32:08.319 --> 01:32:10.079 hope that people can enjoy. 1586 01:32:10.720 --> 01:32:12.840 And so you'll be able to see the picture that 1587 01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:15.199 we've got that'd be like an aerial view that people 1588 01:32:15.359 --> 01:32:15.680 be able. 1589 01:32:15.600 --> 01:32:19.760 To see in my in my vision. You know, I've 1590 01:32:19.760 --> 01:32:22.199 done models of it and it's I mean, if it's 1591 01:32:22.199 --> 01:32:24.760 on a slight slope, you should be able to make 1592 01:32:24.840 --> 01:32:27.239 out his face from the ground, but you won't be 1593 01:32:27.239 --> 01:32:29.479 able to at the full picture. So maybe you know 1594 01:32:29.479 --> 01:32:32.000 from a yourne shot or something like that, but you'll 1595 01:32:32.000 --> 01:32:37.279 be able to see what it is. And uh, it 1596 01:32:37.279 --> 01:32:39.039 looks great in my dream. You know. Now I just 1597 01:32:39.079 --> 01:32:39.720 have to make it. 1598 01:32:40.800 --> 01:32:42.720 Have you got any you haven't got a sight for 1599 01:32:42.720 --> 01:32:45.039 it yet, but are are you angling for any particular 1600 01:32:45.079 --> 01:32:46.880 geographical area that would have. 1601 01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:51.640 Well, yeah, I live on Long Island and there's this 1602 01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:54.399 beautiful shrine out on the east end of Long Island 1603 01:32:55.239 --> 01:32:58.479 called Our Lady of the Island and they have I 1604 01:32:58.520 --> 01:33:01.960 think about one hundred acres of land and there's a 1605 01:33:02.199 --> 01:33:06.359 full twenty foot marble sculpture. Married there's an outdoor church 1606 01:33:06.439 --> 01:33:10.199 that I go to there and it overlooks the Great 1607 01:33:10.239 --> 01:33:14.600 South Bay. It's just an incredible spot and they have 1608 01:33:14.640 --> 01:33:18.279 a lot of land there. So I've reached out to them. 1609 01:33:18.760 --> 01:33:20.239 I don't know if it's going to work out, but 1610 01:33:20.399 --> 01:33:23.960 you know, there's a lot of logistics involved, so it's 1611 01:33:23.960 --> 01:33:27.039 going to take some planning in a little time. But 1612 01:33:27.039 --> 01:33:30.039 but I'm determined. So if I have to at some 1613 01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:33.199 point just buy a small piece of land, maybe upstate 1614 01:33:33.239 --> 01:33:38.800 New York, you can get an expensive land. Whatever I 1615 01:33:38.880 --> 01:33:41.159 have to do, you know, I'm going to make this happen. 1616 01:33:41.560 --> 01:33:42.439 Yeah, that's great. 1617 01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:45.640 Well, you know, in Tennessee, land is fairly cheap and 1618 01:33:45.680 --> 01:33:48.319 they have a lot of unusual sites for people to 1619 01:33:48.319 --> 01:33:50.199 come see, so you might get a lot of traffic 1620 01:33:50.600 --> 01:33:52.000 there if you put it further south. 1621 01:33:52.039 --> 01:33:55.640 But that's a good idea. I don't know much about it, 1622 01:33:55.640 --> 01:33:57.159 but I'll take it right down Tennessee. 1623 01:33:57.199 --> 01:33:57.479 Why not. 1624 01:33:57.800 --> 01:34:00.239 Yeah, instead of people going to see Rock City, they 1625 01:34:00.279 --> 01:34:04.039 can see the Jesus Park that's there. Where can people 1626 01:34:04.079 --> 01:34:06.279 find the the GoFundMe? 1627 01:34:06.560 --> 01:34:07.319 How do they find that? 1628 01:34:08.159 --> 01:34:10.479 You can find all of my thought crimes on if 1629 01:34:10.479 --> 01:34:13.319 you go just Anthony Frieda dot com Anthony f r 1630 01:34:13.479 --> 01:34:17.279 a dot com like the links to all my projects there. 1631 01:34:17.479 --> 01:34:19.960 Okay, good? And And your book is not out yet? 1632 01:34:20.079 --> 01:34:24.000 Is it Thought Crimes of Anthony Frieda? Is that out yet? 1633 01:34:24.359 --> 01:34:27.680 No, that's not, but that was The title was inspired 1634 01:34:27.680 --> 01:34:32.520 by an actual crime that was happened because of my artwork. 1635 01:34:32.640 --> 01:34:34.920 I did a book cover for c J. Hopkins who 1636 01:34:35.000 --> 01:34:40.319 wrote this book The Horizon full of the of the 1637 01:34:40.359 --> 01:34:46.159 New Normal, and I did a take off of the 1638 01:34:46.279 --> 01:34:49.399 Rise and Poll of the Third Reich that cover, and 1639 01:34:49.439 --> 01:34:52.439 I put the COVID mask with a little with a 1640 01:34:52.520 --> 01:34:58.079 swastika barely visible behind the mask, the COVID mask. And 1641 01:34:59.159 --> 01:35:02.920 they decided to charging him for the seminating Nazi propaganda 1642 01:35:03.000 --> 01:35:06.880 in Germany and got to go to he was facing 1643 01:35:06.920 --> 01:35:07.760 like the years in prison. 1644 01:35:08.039 --> 01:35:09.000 Yeah, I remember that. 1645 01:35:09.079 --> 01:35:12.079 Yeah, So that was my book cover. And all he 1646 01:35:12.119 --> 01:35:16.760 did was tweet that cover to get to get and dieted. 1647 01:35:17.319 --> 01:35:21.479 So that's a literal crime that I've been involved with 1648 01:35:21.520 --> 01:35:22.399 as an accessory. 1649 01:35:23.039 --> 01:35:25.560 So he can't use the symbols of the Nazi regime, 1650 01:35:25.760 --> 01:35:28.399 but you can act like Nazis and that's okay, right. 1651 01:35:28.920 --> 01:35:32.920 No, right, no, But it's selectively enforced because you know, 1652 01:35:33.159 --> 01:35:37.319 the stern and magazines in Germany, they'll show Trump in 1653 01:35:37.399 --> 01:35:41.720 full Hitler regalia all the time. That's just that's fine. 1654 01:35:41.800 --> 01:35:44.560 And if it's for the purposes of the left, they 1655 01:35:44.600 --> 01:35:47.840 get a pass. And CJ is not even a right 1656 01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:50.560 wing guy. He's just one of these guys who there's 1657 01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:55.039 a skeptic. He questions everything. Yeah, so it's kind of 1658 01:35:55.079 --> 01:35:59.800 ironic that they're using this illegal subversion of their own laws, 1659 01:36:00.319 --> 01:36:02.760 which is something the Nazis would do to prove that 1660 01:36:02.800 --> 01:36:03.640 they're not Nazis. 1661 01:36:03.680 --> 01:36:03.840 You know. 1662 01:36:04.119 --> 01:36:09.199 It's like there's a lot of hronies there. But anyway, 1663 01:36:09.239 --> 01:36:11.600 he has his ongoing legal battle with them, and in 1664 01:36:11.640 --> 01:36:14.680 Germany they don't have double jeopardy like we do. So 1665 01:36:15.279 --> 01:36:17.359 they charged him, and he went to trial and he 1666 01:36:17.479 --> 01:36:19.840 was acquitted, and now they're going to charge him again 1667 01:36:19.880 --> 01:36:23.279 with the same crime. Just kid, they can charge. They 1668 01:36:23.319 --> 01:36:25.239 can keep coming until they get their birth they want. 1669 01:36:25.399 --> 01:36:27.319 Wow wow uh. 1670 01:36:27.439 --> 01:36:29.399 And it's not a new incident of anything. It's for 1671 01:36:29.479 --> 01:36:31.000 the same exact thing. 1672 01:36:31.119 --> 01:36:31.319 Right. 1673 01:36:31.680 --> 01:36:33.960 Well, we just had somebody that was arrested here in 1674 01:36:34.000 --> 01:36:37.520 Tennessee for a meme that he put up and they 1675 01:36:37.520 --> 01:36:41.199 got him in you know, two million dollar bond to 1676 01:36:41.239 --> 01:36:44.399 get him out of jail. And again it was because 1677 01:36:44.840 --> 01:36:47.319 and we see this kind of censorship is going on 1678 01:36:47.359 --> 01:36:49.800 both the left and the right. This was about the 1679 01:36:49.840 --> 01:36:53.840 fact that this guy didn't like Charlie Kirk or conservatives. 1680 01:36:53.840 --> 01:36:55.560 And so there was a school that was going to 1681 01:36:55.560 --> 01:36:59.920 have an event donor Charlie Kirk, and he put up 1682 01:37:00.119 --> 01:37:02.239 a meme that he didn't even. 1683 01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:03.880 Create, that other people had created. 1684 01:37:03.920 --> 01:37:05.640 It was a picture of Trump and it was a 1685 01:37:05.720 --> 01:37:09.399 quote about what Trumpet said about a school shooting, and 1686 01:37:09.439 --> 01:37:12.199 it said we got to get over this and move on. 1687 01:37:12.640 --> 01:37:14.920 And so he put that up as his comment about 1688 01:37:14.960 --> 01:37:18.960 the Charlie Kirk shooting. And because the place that he 1689 01:37:19.000 --> 01:37:21.359 did it was something that Perry, Idaho or something was 1690 01:37:21.359 --> 01:37:24.680 where the high school was that where the shooting had been, 1691 01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:29.319 and this was in Perry County, and they said, well, 1692 01:37:29.359 --> 01:37:32.479 you were trying to intimidate people here in Perry County 1693 01:37:32.520 --> 01:37:35.880 by using this meme that you didn't even create, and 1694 01:37:36.199 --> 01:37:39.319 so the sheriff arrested him for that two million dollar bail. 1695 01:37:39.560 --> 01:37:44.640 We're seeing free speech attacked everywhere, every country. Every political 1696 01:37:44.640 --> 01:37:48.359 philosophy is coming for speech because especially when we're looking 1697 01:37:48.359 --> 01:37:52.960 at memes or political commentary like you do, it's very 1698 01:37:53.000 --> 01:37:55.159 very powerful. They wouldn't be coming after it otherwise. 1699 01:37:56.680 --> 01:37:59.840 Yeah, definitely. Well I'm pretty certain he's going to win 1700 01:37:59.840 --> 01:38:05.920 that lawsuit, because that's that's rageous. I'm used as censorship 1701 01:38:06.000 --> 01:38:09.159 and I've been I mean, I know you've been through 1702 01:38:09.159 --> 01:38:14.079 it too, just constantly platformed and demonetized and d this 1703 01:38:14.239 --> 01:38:17.720 and do that, and it's just you know, and by 1704 01:38:17.720 --> 01:38:20.159 the way, everything that I was, you know, censored for, 1705 01:38:20.720 --> 01:38:24.439 turns out I was right about. I was right about 1706 01:38:24.479 --> 01:38:25.880 all of it, every single thing I said. It was 1707 01:38:25.920 --> 01:38:29.880 mostly about COVID. And then I'm also fairly certain I 1708 01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:32.960 was put on a domestic terroor list because Biden had 1709 01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:36.640 a list of anyone who questioned the COVID narrative was 1710 01:38:36.640 --> 01:38:39.960 put on a list, and I would high profile about that. 1711 01:38:40.039 --> 01:38:44.159 So I mean, I'm considered the potential violent They use 1712 01:38:44.239 --> 01:38:50.560 the word violent, potential violent, domestic extremist terrorists if you 1713 01:38:50.680 --> 01:38:52.760 were questioning COVID. 1714 01:38:52.720 --> 01:38:55.720 That's right, yeah, because they say that, you know, speech 1715 01:38:56.039 --> 01:39:01.079 is violence, and I say, no, censorship is violence. And 1716 01:39:01.119 --> 01:39:03.960 the people who use and enforce censorship are the ones 1717 01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:07.520 who usually do resort to violence. But the other you know, 1718 01:39:07.560 --> 01:39:10.199 like arresting this guy. The sad thing is is that 1719 01:39:10.279 --> 01:39:13.199 you see that both sides the political spectrum. And I'm 1720 01:39:13.199 --> 01:39:14.840 talking about not just the politicians. 1721 01:39:15.159 --> 01:39:16.359 I'm talking about the grassroots. 1722 01:39:16.399 --> 01:39:19.720 People are cheering this kind of censorship if they don't 1723 01:39:19.880 --> 01:39:23.239 like what you have to say. We have lost the 1724 01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:27.039 understanding of the importance of free speech in our society, 1725 01:39:27.039 --> 01:39:29.760 and that includes America's not just in Europe, but in 1726 01:39:29.800 --> 01:39:34.439 America as well. People don't realize that these tools of 1727 01:39:34.479 --> 01:39:39.439 tyranny will be used against them eventually, and have already 1728 01:39:39.439 --> 01:39:41.680 been used against them in many cases, and they still 1729 01:39:41.760 --> 01:39:44.960 are cheering this on. It's truly amazing. I don't know 1730 01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:45.880 how you get around it. 1731 01:39:46.119 --> 01:39:49.199 Yeah, oh no, I've never seen the country so divide 1732 01:39:49.239 --> 01:39:54.000 it there's no room. That's why, you know, the Charlie 1733 01:39:54.039 --> 01:39:57.399 Kirk thing was so symbolic, because if you're not going 1734 01:39:57.439 --> 01:40:01.279 to talk, you're going to kill each other. It's like, 1735 01:40:01.359 --> 01:40:04.239 because they don't want to talk, they want to kill. 1736 01:40:04.399 --> 01:40:06.039 And what is that? I mean if you, I know, 1737 01:40:06.079 --> 01:40:08.720 you're a great student of history, like where does this go? 1738 01:40:08.920 --> 01:40:11.840 It goes one place called civil war, That's where it goes. 1739 01:40:11.880 --> 01:40:14.159 It's like, this is nothing new. We've seen it thousands 1740 01:40:14.199 --> 01:40:17.880 of times before, all throughout history. This when there's a 1741 01:40:17.920 --> 01:40:22.880 divide of this extreme nature, where there's no there's no communication. 1742 01:40:23.199 --> 01:40:25.720 They're either good or evil, either with me or against me, 1743 01:40:27.079 --> 01:40:30.279 it leads to civil war. I mean, I don't know 1744 01:40:30.359 --> 01:40:33.439 how close we are to it, but unless something radically changes, 1745 01:40:33.479 --> 01:40:36.800 which I don't see any evidence of we're in some 1746 01:40:36.800 --> 01:40:37.760 perilous times here. 1747 01:40:38.079 --> 01:40:42.520 I agree. I agree, yeah, we have. We've lost our foundation, 1748 01:40:42.840 --> 01:40:44.520 you know, we've lost our foundation in terms of the 1749 01:40:44.560 --> 01:40:45.640 principles that made. 1750 01:40:45.439 --> 01:40:47.880 The West great. And we've lost our. 1751 01:40:47.800 --> 01:40:49.960 Foundation because we've turned our back on God. That's what 1752 01:40:49.960 --> 01:40:52.960 we were talking about earlier, and that truly is the 1753 01:40:53.000 --> 01:40:56.920 foundation as the Lord Jesus Christ. And once we turn 1754 01:40:57.000 --> 01:41:01.319 away from that, we are adrift as society. And so 1755 01:41:02.159 --> 01:41:04.319 even though we used to have guns everywhere, now the 1756 01:41:04.359 --> 01:41:06.520 guns are being turned on each other and being used 1757 01:41:06.560 --> 01:41:08.720 on us, and there's a lot of different aspects to it. 1758 01:41:09.039 --> 01:41:12.600 I think the heavy use of drugs is a part 1759 01:41:12.680 --> 01:41:15.399 of that. I think that even plays a role actually 1760 01:41:15.600 --> 01:41:19.159 in the technocrats. I had been told years ago that 1761 01:41:19.199 --> 01:41:21.960 when these guys would go hang out at the Burning 1762 01:41:22.000 --> 01:41:25.760 Man thing, that they were dropping LSD and they were 1763 01:41:25.760 --> 01:41:28.680 also taking what was that DMT or something where they 1764 01:41:28.840 --> 01:41:31.680 come in contact with machine elves. And the interesting thing 1765 01:41:31.720 --> 01:41:35.119 about this is that you hear from the same people 1766 01:41:35.199 --> 01:41:37.279 who are in different geographical areas. 1767 01:41:37.560 --> 01:41:38.439 They start talking. 1768 01:41:38.279 --> 01:41:41.520 About how they had the same types of encounters, and 1769 01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:46.399 they're channeling technology from these entities that they're coming in 1770 01:41:46.479 --> 01:41:49.960 contact with, and you can have people in radically different 1771 01:41:49.960 --> 01:41:53.159 places that have the same experiences that are there. They 1772 01:41:53.199 --> 01:41:57.159 even call them psycho knots, not nuts, but knots, like 1773 01:41:57.199 --> 01:41:58.319 an astronaut or something. 1774 01:41:59.000 --> 01:42:03.520 So yeah, it's interdimensional travel I think. I mean they're 1775 01:42:03.520 --> 01:42:07.159 opening a portal to Hell for lack of a better word. 1776 01:42:07.199 --> 01:42:10.359 I mean, this tells another dimension, Heaven's dimension, our plane 1777 01:42:10.399 --> 01:42:14.479 is dimension. And those drugs somehow, I don't know how 1778 01:42:14.520 --> 01:42:16.560 it works. I can't even come close to explain it, 1779 01:42:16.600 --> 01:42:23.920 but it makes the veil between the dimensions permeable. Yeah, 1780 01:42:23.439 --> 01:42:27.479 and they're they able to permeate it with these substances, 1781 01:42:27.680 --> 01:42:31.439 and it's a dark energy and we're seeing it and 1782 01:42:31.479 --> 01:42:33.239 that's connected to whole a I think we were talking 1783 01:42:33.279 --> 01:42:37.760 about before. Yes, and these drugs are facilitating it, and 1784 01:42:37.800 --> 01:42:39.640 you're totally right. But the other things when you turn 1785 01:42:39.680 --> 01:42:43.039 away from God, I mean Deeparktropa said, you leave a 1786 01:42:43.079 --> 01:42:46.159 God shaped hole. So what do you fill that hole with? 1787 01:42:46.279 --> 01:42:49.600 You're going to fill with drugs or porn or wok 1788 01:42:49.760 --> 01:42:54.239 is or something or satan. You know, it's like it 1789 01:42:54.279 --> 01:42:56.880 has to be filled because that's part of our human 1790 01:42:57.840 --> 01:43:01.479 makeup that we have to have something to believe in. 1791 01:43:01.960 --> 01:43:06.600 So if you don't fill with God. The alternatives are 1792 01:43:06.800 --> 01:43:10.880 anti human and their satanic, and they're dark. You're taking 1793 01:43:10.920 --> 01:43:13.119 something that should be filled with light and you're filling 1794 01:43:13.239 --> 01:43:14.000 with darkness. 1795 01:43:14.159 --> 01:43:17.000 That's right, absolutely well, you know, it's kind of interesting. 1796 01:43:17.079 --> 01:43:21.079 I use this quite a bit to attack. 1797 01:43:20.760 --> 01:43:21.960 The pharmaceutical companies. 1798 01:43:21.960 --> 01:43:26.159 I'd call them pharmachia because that's the Greek term that's 1799 01:43:26.199 --> 01:43:30.800 using the New Testament frequently was transferred translated as sorcery 1800 01:43:31.039 --> 01:43:35.399 because people would include these lucinogenic drugs as part of 1801 01:43:35.479 --> 01:43:38.760 their spiritual experience and that type of thing. That's very 1802 01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:42.119 old thing. But also it talks about how the pharmachia 1803 01:43:42.840 --> 01:43:45.359 and the great men of the world would not repent 1804 01:43:45.399 --> 01:43:47.199 of their murders. That's how I was using it for 1805 01:43:47.239 --> 01:43:50.239 the pharmaceutical companies, and I thought it really fit. 1806 01:43:50.399 --> 01:43:52.600 But that really is what we're seeing. 1807 01:43:52.760 --> 01:43:55.920 And with all the technology that we've gotten, all of 1808 01:43:56.000 --> 01:43:59.920 this idea about how we are so scientific and material 1809 01:44:00.000 --> 01:44:03.119 realistic and we don't believe anything unless we can measure 1810 01:44:03.159 --> 01:44:05.239 it well that we have seen over and over again 1811 01:44:05.720 --> 01:44:09.039 is simply not true. The people that we disagree with 1812 01:44:09.319 --> 01:44:12.199 are more than willing to pursue by faith a lot 1813 01:44:12.239 --> 01:44:14.880 of different things, whether they talk about the climate change 1814 01:44:14.920 --> 01:44:19.079 agenda or the pandemic. They accept a lot of stuff 1815 01:44:19.279 --> 01:44:21.439 on the basis of faith. It's just what they have 1816 01:44:21.520 --> 01:44:24.880 faith in. They have faith in these institutions, they have 1817 01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:28.760 faith in people who have credentials that say that they're 1818 01:44:28.800 --> 01:44:31.000 a scientist or an authority in something. So it's just 1819 01:44:31.039 --> 01:44:34.239 a difference in what they have faith in. But I 1820 01:44:34.279 --> 01:44:36.560 think it's very important what you're doing in terms of 1821 01:44:36.760 --> 01:44:40.119 artwork that gets to people on a different level than 1822 01:44:40.279 --> 01:44:43.239 just talking to them straight about the facts. You know, 1823 01:44:43.279 --> 01:44:46.600 whenever we can engage the emotions and art does that, 1824 01:44:47.079 --> 01:44:50.039 and you know, movies do that, and Christians are starting 1825 01:44:50.079 --> 01:44:52.960 to learn to use the tools of movie making, and 1826 01:44:53.000 --> 01:44:55.479 so I think there's going to be some very important 1827 01:44:55.520 --> 01:44:59.640 work that is done there. But gradually the Christian movie 1828 01:44:59.640 --> 01:45:02.279 industry picking up. But I think there's so much that's 1829 01:45:02.279 --> 01:45:05.880 been lost in terms of artwork that would move people. 1830 01:45:05.960 --> 01:45:07.960 I think that what you're doing is very important. 1831 01:45:09.039 --> 01:45:11.359 Well, thank you, David. Yeah, it's spiking a film. I 1832 01:45:11.359 --> 01:45:14.000 started working with a film production company. I think you're right. 1833 01:45:14.079 --> 01:45:17.439 The answer is to create a parallel M and E 1834 01:45:17.439 --> 01:45:22.960 economy that is in accordance with our values, yeah, and 1835 01:45:22.960 --> 01:45:28.119 then the values of Western civilization and Christendom, the things 1836 01:45:28.119 --> 01:45:29.880 that we have faith in, things that we believe in, 1837 01:45:30.000 --> 01:45:33.359 and a lot of it's been sort of kind of hokey, 1838 01:45:33.520 --> 01:45:35.880 kitschy stuff up to this point. But we're trying to 1839 01:45:35.880 --> 01:45:39.159 create with man Alive Media group, this group I'm working 1840 01:45:39.199 --> 01:45:43.159 with right now, we're working on a film about World 1841 01:45:43.159 --> 01:45:44.720 War One. We're going to do a film about Joan 1842 01:45:44.760 --> 01:45:47.439 of Arc and we're trying to make them very high 1843 01:45:47.479 --> 01:45:51.479 minded and to the best of our ability, great pieces 1844 01:45:51.560 --> 01:45:54.439 of art, because you're right, art speaks on a different 1845 01:45:55.399 --> 01:45:59.279 level than just there's a conversation with some kind of conversation. 1846 01:45:59.359 --> 01:46:02.399 It's like, you know, poetry or prose. It's like it's 1847 01:46:02.439 --> 01:46:06.399 something that engages our mind in a different way and 1848 01:46:06.439 --> 01:46:12.239 hopefully opens up and our mind to this conversation. But 1849 01:46:12.279 --> 01:46:14.359 we have to be able to talk, and censorship is 1850 01:46:14.399 --> 01:46:18.960 the enemy of all of us, because then we're not talking, 1851 01:46:19.079 --> 01:46:21.359 and if we're not talking, we're probably shooting each other. 1852 01:46:21.560 --> 01:46:26.359 Because so we make peaceful change impossible, we make violent 1853 01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:27.159 change inevitable. 1854 01:46:27.159 --> 01:46:29.760 As Kennedy said, that's right, and. 1855 01:46:29.840 --> 01:46:31.960 I think it's very important. You know, for the longest time, 1856 01:46:32.279 --> 01:46:35.880 Christians have retreated from the arts and they feel like 1857 01:46:35.920 --> 01:46:40.439 the best way to engage people is with a didactic aspect, 1858 01:46:40.479 --> 01:46:42.920 and of course there's value in that, but there's another 1859 01:46:42.960 --> 01:46:45.600 way to reach people, and that is by showing them, 1860 01:46:45.680 --> 01:46:49.159 you know, and portraying as a narrative. I just talked 1861 01:46:49.199 --> 01:46:53.079 to the author of Flags of Our Fathers, who's just 1862 01:46:53.159 --> 01:46:56.239 done a book on Vietnam. We spent ten years in 1863 01:46:56.279 --> 01:47:00.159 Vietnam talking to people there. And his name is James. 1864 01:47:00.399 --> 01:47:03.600 Was it James Bradley? I think it was Bradley or Bradley. 1865 01:47:04.199 --> 01:47:07.800 I'm sorry, I can't remember his last name, but very 1866 01:47:07.840 --> 01:47:11.359 interesting guy. And when he did this book, you know, 1867 01:47:11.399 --> 01:47:15.119 his previous books were nonfiction, but he wanted to do 1868 01:47:15.119 --> 01:47:17.399 a fictional book because he said there were so many 1869 01:47:17.439 --> 01:47:20.319 facets and so many different things that he had to 1870 01:47:20.399 --> 01:47:23.880 use fictional characters to bring them together. And so not 1871 01:47:23.920 --> 01:47:26.880 only does it engage our emotions more so if we 1872 01:47:26.960 --> 01:47:30.039 have a narrative story, but it also allows us to 1873 01:47:31.239 --> 01:47:33.720 pull together the relevant things in a way that we 1874 01:47:33.720 --> 01:47:36.479 couldn't if we had to stick to exactly what the 1875 01:47:36.520 --> 01:47:38.680 true story was. And Hollywood knows that for the longest time. 1876 01:47:39.159 --> 01:47:42.000 Go see something's based on true event. They always change 1877 01:47:42.000 --> 01:47:44.279 it always begin this is based on a true story, 1878 01:47:44.319 --> 01:47:46.479 but the actual characters are fictionalized and so forth. They 1879 01:47:46.520 --> 01:47:50.520 always do that, And so I think it's good the 1880 01:47:50.600 --> 01:47:52.399 kind of projects that you mentioned there, when we're talking 1881 01:47:52.399 --> 01:47:56.520 about people living their life according to Christian principles, I 1882 01:47:56.560 --> 01:47:57.680 think that's. 1883 01:47:57.520 --> 01:47:59.760 Probably the best way that that can be. 1884 01:48:00.079 --> 01:48:03.319 And rather than going in to the Bible and then 1885 01:48:03.359 --> 01:48:06.159 fictionalizing that that always kind of rubs me the wrong 1886 01:48:07.560 --> 01:48:08.479 trying to rewrite it. 1887 01:48:08.640 --> 01:48:12.880 Yeah, it doesn't have to be didactic or so blatant 1888 01:48:12.920 --> 01:48:16.560 like I mean, there was great Christian authors, you know, 1889 01:48:16.960 --> 01:48:19.159 Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, and they were they were 1890 01:48:19.159 --> 01:48:22.560 coming up with their own mythology to sort of mirror 1891 01:48:23.359 --> 01:48:27.079 Christian themes without you know, saying literally, this is Jesus 1892 01:48:27.159 --> 01:48:32.960 and this is what happened. So you know, Christianity to 1893 01:48:33.039 --> 01:48:36.319 me is a myth. That's true, yes, but we need 1894 01:48:36.359 --> 01:48:39.960 to create alternative myths to reinforce that myth, to bring 1895 01:48:40.000 --> 01:48:42.600 people to us, because it's just so boring to just 1896 01:48:43.079 --> 01:48:47.119 you know, tell the same story, even in brilliant filmmakers' hands, 1897 01:48:47.159 --> 01:48:50.359 like it's been done and it's so it's it's just 1898 01:48:50.399 --> 01:48:51.960 going to turn a lot of people off. But if 1899 01:48:51.960 --> 01:48:54.560 you do it in a way that's creative and original 1900 01:48:54.840 --> 01:49:02.079 and interesting and unexpected and entertaining and edifying something different, 1901 01:49:02.119 --> 01:49:04.119 Now it's the work of art on its own, not 1902 01:49:04.279 --> 01:49:09.079 just pastiche and not just biblical scripture translated into film. 1903 01:49:09.359 --> 01:49:09.840 That's right. 1904 01:49:10.319 --> 01:49:14.119 I remember the film critic Brian Goadawa, and he actually 1905 01:49:14.239 --> 01:49:16.600 was able to do a film. I think it was 1906 01:49:16.680 --> 01:49:19.600 called To End All Wars. I'm not sure about that, 1907 01:49:19.640 --> 01:49:23.800 but it took place in American soldiers in Japanese in 1908 01:49:23.880 --> 01:49:26.680 term of prison camp during World War Two. But his 1909 01:49:27.119 --> 01:49:29.840 whole idea is that very much like you know, I 1910 01:49:29.840 --> 01:49:32.119 think it was C. S. Lewis who said that the 1911 01:49:32.439 --> 01:49:35.520 Christian myth is the greatest myth and it's real. You know, 1912 01:49:35.760 --> 01:49:38.720 he doesn't mean that it's fictional. He just means by myth, 1913 01:49:38.760 --> 01:49:42.680 he means an epic story. And so that was kind 1914 01:49:42.720 --> 01:49:44.760 of Brian Goadawa's take on it. He said, you know, 1915 01:49:44.840 --> 01:49:48.399 every one of our really the stories that really resonate 1916 01:49:48.439 --> 01:49:52.239 with people always have a redemptive arc in the story, 1917 01:49:52.760 --> 01:49:55.840 and he did a really good job with that, and 1918 01:49:57.199 --> 01:50:00.279 he also would kind of draw that out in his film. 1919 01:50:00.079 --> 01:50:00.920 Reviews that he did. 1920 01:50:00.960 --> 01:50:04.880 But uh, that that I think is something that you know, 1921 01:50:05.479 --> 01:50:07.039 if we're not going to be able to fight a 1922 01:50:07.079 --> 01:50:09.760 culture war, if we don't have culture someone said, I 1923 01:50:09.800 --> 01:50:18.279 think that's exactly true. Right, We're going unarmed, right, I. 1924 01:50:18.239 --> 01:50:20.119 Mean, yeah, it's staying the obvious. But yeah, I mean 1925 01:50:20.159 --> 01:50:24.880 we got listen. You know, it's on us, you know, yeah, 1926 01:50:25.039 --> 01:50:28.640 I think it incumbent upon Christians of people who are means, 1927 01:50:28.720 --> 01:50:31.039 people who are creative, people who have talent or something 1928 01:50:31.079 --> 01:50:34.520 to give, like put it towards the cause because the 1929 01:50:34.560 --> 01:50:37.319 other side certainly is you know, the Satanists and the 1930 01:50:37.399 --> 01:50:43.520 Demons and the Lunatics and the Islamicists and the Marxists, 1931 01:50:43.560 --> 01:50:46.039 like they're all on board. You know. You just watch 1932 01:50:46.279 --> 01:50:49.119 Netflix and there's messaging in every single thing they do. 1933 01:50:49.239 --> 01:50:54.720 Oh yeah, so anti Christian, anti mail, anti white, anti American, 1934 01:50:54.920 --> 01:50:57.960 and it's just I mean it's so ham fisted, but 1935 01:50:58.039 --> 01:51:00.520 they shoehorned into everything. The story does nothing to do 1936 01:51:00.560 --> 01:51:03.760 with what they're talking about those you know, well white 1937 01:51:03.800 --> 01:51:05.479 people are bad. What does that have to do with 1938 01:51:05.520 --> 01:51:10.239 the comedy I was watching so right, you know, we 1939 01:51:10.279 --> 01:51:13.520 could do it more artfully. There's so many great artists 1940 01:51:13.520 --> 01:51:15.680 and writers out there that are Christian and we need 1941 01:51:15.680 --> 01:51:19.359 to come together and build these teams and that's what 1942 01:51:19.399 --> 01:51:21.479 I'm trying to do in my own little way. 1943 01:51:22.159 --> 01:51:22.680 That's great. 1944 01:51:22.800 --> 01:51:25.399 So the best place for people to find out how 1945 01:51:25.439 --> 01:51:28.439 they can get your book when it's available, and also 1946 01:51:28.680 --> 01:51:31.399 to find out about the Jesus Park if they want 1947 01:51:31.439 --> 01:51:33.279 to get involved and they go fund me, we need 1948 01:51:33.319 --> 01:51:35.840 to go to your website, Anthony Frieda, and that is 1949 01:51:36.159 --> 01:51:39.920 f R E.

Let me before we run out 1964 01:52:15.079 --> 01:52:17.600 of time, let me get to some of the comments 1965 01:52:17.640 --> 01:52:21.960 that are up here, and as Lance my producer said, 1966 01:52:22.640 --> 01:52:26.439 Jesus used parables and analogies. That's right, so we're following 1967 01:52:26.479 --> 01:52:29.720 in the right way when we use those type of 1968 01:52:29.720 --> 01:52:31.800 things as well. Some one of his favorite ways to 1969 01:52:32.039 --> 01:52:35.720 get a point across was to use a parable a 1970 01:52:35.800 --> 01:52:39.000 story about something and in most cases I think there 1971 01:52:39.079 --> 01:52:42.279 was at least one or two that were not fictional, 1972 01:52:42.359 --> 01:52:45.880 but they were all giving a story there. 1973 01:52:46.399 --> 01:52:48.520 And so. 1974 01:52:50.079 --> 01:52:53.479 Crash and Splash seventy five says. The average lifespan a lithium 1975 01:52:54.199 --> 01:52:58.079 minor thirty years. So enjoy your battery, I said, like 1976 01:52:58.159 --> 01:53:02.600 a lot of these things, well, co cobalt is being 1977 01:53:02.840 --> 01:53:07.000 dug out of the mines by young children operating at 1978 01:53:07.119 --> 01:53:11.279 slave wages and a situation that kills them. So yeah, 1979 01:53:11.319 --> 01:53:15.239 that is we have to understand this. Behind a lot 1980 01:53:15.279 --> 01:53:17.880 of this stuff, Car insurance is now hired to pay 1981 01:53:17.920 --> 01:53:21.800 for than battery burns says Joelson's and Guard Goldsmith good 1982 01:53:21.800 --> 01:53:25.119 to see the Guard Liberty conspiracy says. Last year, the 1983 01:53:25.239 --> 01:53:29.479 very US government bureau tasked with promoting EV travel banned 1984 01:53:29.560 --> 01:53:33.319 EV buyings and scooters from being brought into their Colorado 1985 01:53:33.359 --> 01:53:35.199 building for fear of fire. 1986 01:53:35.439 --> 01:53:39.439 That's right. Jason Barker, nice the storm, good to see you. 1987 01:53:39.479 --> 01:53:42.359 He says AI is good for memes, but not for 1988 01:53:42.439 --> 01:53:46.520 real art, meme images and music, and that's really you 1989 01:53:46.560 --> 01:53:48.920 know what it does. I mean, a meme just kind 1990 01:53:48.960 --> 01:53:51.159 of picks up on a theme and imitates it. 1991 01:53:51.199 --> 01:53:53.279 And that's precisely what AI is. 1992 01:53:54.079 --> 01:53:56.800 But the real danger of AI is not that it's 1993 01:53:56.800 --> 01:54:00.159 going to become some self aware sky net thing. I 1994 01:54:00.159 --> 01:54:01.960 think the real danger is that it is a very 1995 01:54:01.960 --> 01:54:06.600 effective tool for pulling together data and for doing searches 1996 01:54:06.640 --> 01:54:09.720 and surveillance that can be used to control us. 1997 01:54:09.800 --> 01:54:13.159 That's really where the devil is in that detail. Thank 1998 01:54:13.199 --> 01:54:15.279 you so much for joining us. Have a good. 1999 01:54:15.199 --> 01:55:52.800 Day making sense common again. 2000 01:55:53.680 --> 01:55:59.800 You're listening to the David Night Show. H. 2001 01:56:04.680 --> 01:56:06.560 This is an article from RT and it kind of 2002 01:56:06.560 --> 01:56:10.039 goes into the philosophy of Alexander Dugan. If you remember him, 2003 01:56:10.439 --> 01:56:14.000 the guy that they say is Putin's resputant or Putin's brain. 2004 01:56:14.880 --> 01:56:18.720 He is a philosopher. His daughter was assassinated. They were 2005 01:56:18.720 --> 01:56:21.840 trying to get him, and I had the opportunity to 2006 01:56:21.880 --> 01:56:23.760 interview him when I was at Info Wars, which is 2007 01:56:23.840 --> 01:56:27.000 kind of a strange interview I wasn't quite sure where 2008 01:56:27.000 --> 01:56:28.760 the guy was coming from. This is at the beginning 2009 01:56:29.239 --> 01:56:33.399 of the Trump administration, and at that point there was 2010 01:56:33.439 --> 01:56:38.439 a lot of enthusiasm amongst general Russians thinking that, well, 2011 01:56:38.479 --> 01:56:40.359 this is great. We're not going to have the Russia 2012 01:56:40.399 --> 01:56:43.920 Russia Russia of fear anymore. We're going to normalize relations 2013 01:56:43.960 --> 01:56:47.399 with Trump. Even had if you remember, a small town 2014 01:56:47.720 --> 01:56:51.840 named a street after Trump temporarily until Trump showed that 2015 01:56:51.880 --> 01:56:53.119 he was on the same team. 2016 01:56:52.960 --> 01:56:53.640 With these people. 2017 01:56:54.159 --> 01:56:55.640 But as part of that, there was a guy he 2018 01:56:55.720 --> 01:56:59.760 used to work for Fox News, and he contacted Info 2019 01:56:59.760 --> 01:57:03.680 Wars because he was now working with a TV network 2020 01:57:03.760 --> 01:57:06.079 in Russia, and he said, I'd like to. 2021 01:57:06.039 --> 01:57:06.960 Get dugan on. 2022 01:57:07.079 --> 01:57:09.600 I was the one that they had interview him, and 2023 01:57:09.680 --> 01:57:12.439 unfortunately I wish I had had the time to read 2024 01:57:12.479 --> 01:57:17.319 his book. I didn't know about his book. I didn't 2025 01:57:17.439 --> 01:57:19.880 understand that. I was looking at some other articles about it. 2026 01:57:19.920 --> 01:57:22.239 Just came up very quickly. But he wrote a book 2027 01:57:22.279 --> 01:57:26.560 talking about the Fourth Approach. And when I interviewed him, 2028 01:57:26.600 --> 01:57:30.920 it was kind of strange because I perceived this guy 2029 01:57:31.680 --> 01:57:36.960 as coming from a more traditionalist, almost Czarist nationality, because 2030 01:57:36.960 --> 01:57:39.720 a lot of stuff they talks about is very nostalgic 2031 01:57:39.760 --> 01:57:41.239 for that period of time and that type of thing. 2032 01:57:41.279 --> 01:57:43.960 So I thought, this is a guy who's anti communist, 2033 01:57:43.960 --> 01:57:46.760 and maybe this is why they want us to interview him. 2034 01:57:47.279 --> 01:57:49.399 And so when I asked him, there was some talk 2035 01:57:49.439 --> 01:57:50.840 at the time. Some of the people were saying, we've 2036 01:57:50.840 --> 01:57:53.119 got to get Lennen out of Red Square. You know, 2037 01:57:53.119 --> 01:57:56.520 they've had his decaying body there and Red Square since 2038 01:57:56.520 --> 01:57:59.640 he died, I don't know, maybe getting close to a 2039 01:57:59.680 --> 01:58:03.399 central you go. And so there's some people wanted to 2040 01:58:03.399 --> 01:58:05.279 move his body out there, and so I asked him 2041 01:58:05.279 --> 01:58:07.359 about it, and goes, oh, no, no, that's part of 2042 01:58:07.359 --> 01:58:08.520 our history and we honor it. 2043 01:58:08.520 --> 01:58:12.079 And it's like, Okay, where's this guy coming from. He 2044 01:58:12.239 --> 01:58:13.920 likes Lenen, and he likes the Czars. 2045 01:58:14.479 --> 01:58:18.239 He's all about culture and history, and so he sees 2046 01:58:18.319 --> 01:58:22.079 all of that as playing into a cultural history. And 2047 01:58:22.680 --> 01:58:26.760 his view is that instead of having a philosophy, a 2048 01:58:26.800 --> 01:58:30.119 political philosophy and economic philosophy that can be used for 2049 01:58:30.239 --> 01:58:34.159 world domination, we need to have the world set up 2050 01:58:34.159 --> 01:58:38.119 with multiple cultural and ethnic diversity. 2051 01:58:38.319 --> 01:58:40.680 Really, it's real diversity. They're talking about real. 2052 01:58:40.600 --> 01:58:46.279 Multiculturalism, where you have national cultural ethnic identities and people 2053 01:58:46.319 --> 01:58:47.960 are operating in their own interest. In other words, what 2054 01:58:48.039 --> 01:58:51.399 we had before this kind of globalism. And when you 2055 01:58:51.399 --> 01:58:57.079 look at the three philosophies communism, fascism, liberalism, liberalism meaning 2056 01:58:58.319 --> 01:59:01.000 what we have in the West, and I guess really 2057 01:59:01.079 --> 01:59:05.079 that kind of liberalism which is not really about liberty, 2058 01:59:05.319 --> 01:59:08.800 but that's how they try to sell it. And so 2059 01:59:09.159 --> 01:59:12.399 in all of these they have all resulted in governments 2060 01:59:13.560 --> 01:59:18.199 who seek to have global domination because we understand that 2061 01:59:18.439 --> 01:59:21.800 power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and they can 2062 01:59:21.840 --> 01:59:24.920 never have enough. These people who are in political power 2063 01:59:25.000 --> 01:59:27.680 are just like the billionaires. You could be a billionaire, 2064 01:59:27.720 --> 01:59:29.840 you could be a trillionaire, and it still won't be enough. 2065 01:59:29.840 --> 01:59:32.359 Of these people, they always want more. And so you 2066 01:59:32.399 --> 01:59:36.119 can be the leader of the world's largest country, richest country, 2067 01:59:36.159 --> 01:59:38.840 most powerful country, and you're always going to want more. 2068 01:59:38.960 --> 01:59:41.960 You're going to want to be the leader of a 2069 01:59:42.039 --> 01:59:44.840 region or a leader of the entire world. And we 2070 01:59:44.880 --> 01:59:47.800 see this play out. It's just human nature. And so. 2071 01:59:49.279 --> 01:59:52.039 This is an interview that RTE had with a guy 2072 01:59:52.039 --> 01:59:56.600 who is co founder of Austria's identitarian movement that believes 2073 01:59:56.600 --> 01:59:59.319 that liberal Europe has lost its way. So what is 2074 01:59:59.359 --> 02:00:05.600 the identifyitarian movement? Well, it's about nationalist preservation cultural, ethnic 2075 02:00:06.680 --> 02:00:12.079 national identities. And so this guy was inspired by Alexander 2076 02:00:12.159 --> 02:00:15.359 Dugan and his fourth political theory, and. 2077 02:00:16.840 --> 02:00:17.319 It is. 2078 02:00:19.359 --> 02:00:22.399 Again like I said, liberalism, communism, fascism. But then he 2079 02:00:22.600 --> 02:00:28.199 puts out he envisions a world of multipolarity, a world 2080 02:00:28.239 --> 02:00:32.600 of distinct civilizations with their own culture values that rejects 2081 02:00:32.760 --> 02:00:36.760 universal ideologies. But key to all this is that he 2082 02:00:36.840 --> 02:00:39.399 sees it as being led by Russia. He thinks that 2083 02:00:39.399 --> 02:00:42.880 only Russia can lead this. Also, when I talked to him, 2084 02:00:42.920 --> 02:00:46.079 it was kind of interesting his view of America as 2085 02:00:46.199 --> 02:00:51.359 just being a successor to Great Britain and its sea power, 2086 02:00:51.520 --> 02:00:56.920 and so he saw a continuity of seapower versus land power, 2087 02:00:57.079 --> 02:01:00.720 Russia of course being lanmdpower, China as well being land power, 2088 02:01:01.159 --> 02:01:06.399 but the American and British tradition was one of seapower, 2089 02:01:06.439 --> 02:01:10.560 which led them especially to being able to do global 2090 02:01:10.600 --> 02:01:14.720 domination economically. And so he sees Russia and as the 2091 02:01:14.760 --> 02:01:20.520 only counterweight to this kind of Western globalization. Markovic is 2092 02:01:20.560 --> 02:01:23.760 the guy that they interviewed. He's moved, he said, beyond 2093 02:01:24.039 --> 02:01:27.960 a single focus issue on immigration, turning instead to a 2094 02:01:28.000 --> 02:01:34.840 broader philosophical program that champions Eurasian unity, a sovereign European civilization, 2095 02:01:35.039 --> 02:01:38.520 and resistance to the West's rule of Deceit today serves 2096 02:01:38.560 --> 02:01:42.479 as a secretary general and press spokesman for an institute 2097 02:01:42.520 --> 02:01:44.920 that was named after a famous Russian military commander. So 2098 02:01:44.960 --> 02:01:48.359 this is a Vienna based organization found in twenty fourteen 2099 02:01:49.039 --> 02:01:53.960 to promote Austrian Russian dialogue and to safeguard Europe's cultural heritage, 2100 02:01:54.000 --> 02:01:57.920 he says, from liberal globalist erosion. So you can imagine 2101 02:01:57.960 --> 02:01:59.680 he's got a big target on his back here with 2102 02:01:59.720 --> 02:02:05.560 the Austrian government. And we have seen that the Austrian 2103 02:02:05.680 --> 02:02:09.760 Nationalist Party, even though they won the election the last election, 2104 02:02:10.359 --> 02:02:13.239 all the other parties got together because he in a 2105 02:02:13.319 --> 02:02:17.239 multi party election, nobody's can get past fifty percent, so 2106 02:02:17.279 --> 02:02:19.960 you've always got to have a coalition. Well, as we 2107 02:02:20.039 --> 02:02:23.359 saw in France, and with the Nationalist Party that's there, 2108 02:02:23.880 --> 02:02:26.640 all of the other parties set aside all of their 2109 02:02:26.680 --> 02:02:31.199 differences over everything else, and the communists, the socialists, the 2110 02:02:32.359 --> 02:02:35.279 liberals that were there all united against the Nationalist Party 2111 02:02:35.319 --> 02:02:38.319 to make sure that it didn't form a government. 2112 02:02:38.399 --> 02:02:41.079 So it's in opposition, which also want to show you 2113 02:02:41.119 --> 02:02:43.720 just how little difference there is from the liberals, the 2114 02:02:43.760 --> 02:02:47.239 socialists and the communists. They're all interchangeable, they're all for 2115 02:02:47.319 --> 02:02:50.079 the exact same thing. France is the same as it 2116 02:02:50.199 --> 02:02:51.279 was before that happened. 2117 02:02:51.359 --> 02:02:52.560 That's right, that's right. 2118 02:02:54.720 --> 02:02:57.319 He's been branded as a Russian agent because he is 2119 02:02:57.359 --> 02:02:59.960 working for a Russian institute that is there. 2120 02:03:00.279 --> 02:03:01.760 You'll probably take that as a compliment. 2121 02:03:03.840 --> 02:03:07.600 He is a devote of Alexander Dugan's fourth political Theory, 2122 02:03:08.279 --> 02:03:12.039 and for him, the struggle is existential, a battle for 2123 02:03:12.119 --> 02:03:16.279 Europe's soul in the face of unipolar collapse. He envisions 2124 02:03:16.279 --> 02:03:20.640 a continent that is reborn through faith, tradition multipolar solidarity 2125 02:03:20.640 --> 02:03:23.880 with Russia. In his view, Austria can either remain a 2126 02:03:23.960 --> 02:03:27.720 compliant satellite of Brussels and Washington, in other words, the 2127 02:03:27.720 --> 02:03:31.239 EU or the US, or we claim its historic role 2128 02:03:31.560 --> 02:03:34.920 as a bridge between East and West. The choice, he warns, 2129 02:03:35.119 --> 02:03:39.159 will determine whether future generations inherit a sovereign European civilization 2130 02:03:40.000 --> 02:03:42.560 or a museum piece. I would describe it more as 2131 02:03:42.600 --> 02:03:46.359 a cut flower. The problem with Europe is far more 2132 02:03:46.439 --> 02:03:51.840 fundamental than any kind of political or philosophical issue. It 2133 02:03:51.920 --> 02:03:54.880 is a cut flower because these people have cut themselves 2134 02:03:54.960 --> 02:03:59.000 off from the vine, the vine of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2135 02:03:59.039 --> 02:04:03.600 They want the fruit of Christian society, but they don't 2136 02:04:03.600 --> 02:04:07.119 want Christ. That is the fundamental issue, and it is 2137 02:04:07.159 --> 02:04:11.279 not about political theory. The fundamental issue culture and politics. 2138 02:04:11.319 --> 02:04:14.960 All that stuff is downstream from your relationship with God, 2139 02:04:15.159 --> 02:04:17.880 and it's not something that you can even operate yourself. 2140 02:04:18.439 --> 02:04:20.960 If you shake your fist against God, He's going to 2141 02:04:21.000 --> 02:04:23.880 shake your country back. And this is I think what 2142 02:04:23.920 --> 02:04:26.720 we're seeing here. Western media often labels you as far 2143 02:04:26.840 --> 02:04:29.760 right and as a Russian agent. Is this just a 2144 02:04:29.800 --> 02:04:34.520 smear campaign to discredit multipolar voices? He says, yes, without question. 2145 02:04:34.600 --> 02:04:38.399 In Austria today, any Christian who openly declares belief in God, 2146 02:04:38.479 --> 02:04:40.960 Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit is branded far right. 2147 02:04:41.680 --> 02:04:46.199 Anyone questioning NATO's expansion since nineteen ninety one or calling 2148 02:04:46.239 --> 02:04:49.640 for an end to arms deliveries to Kiev is accused 2149 02:04:49.680 --> 02:04:52.720 of being a Russian agent. Even communist and socialists are 2150 02:04:52.720 --> 02:04:55.239 smeared with the same labels if they criticize fascism in 2151 02:04:55.359 --> 02:05:00.159 Ukraine or Western involvement in the Maidan coup. Conservatives who 2152 02:05:00.159 --> 02:05:04.399 affirm biological reality that there's only two sexes are attacked 2153 02:05:04.600 --> 02:05:09.680 just as fiercely. If advocating peace and a multipolar world 2154 02:05:09.920 --> 02:05:13.359 order makes one a fascist, then half of Austria would 2155 02:05:13.399 --> 02:05:17.680 qualify under these absurd definitions, he says. They asked him, 2156 02:05:17.680 --> 02:05:20.319 do you believe the West's unipolar dominance is collapsing? 2157 02:05:21.000 --> 02:05:21.239 Yes. 2158 02:05:21.800 --> 02:05:23.840 Since the so called war on Terror began in two 2159 02:05:23.880 --> 02:05:26.199 thousand and one, the West has been in a permanent 2160 02:05:26.239 --> 02:05:29.439 state of crisis. And this is by design. It was 2161 02:05:29.439 --> 02:05:33.359 an inside job to create a permanent state of crisis. 2162 02:05:34.680 --> 02:05:36.920 The COVID was the other shot drop. As I've said 2163 02:05:36.920 --> 02:05:40.479 many times, the migration crisis, the financial crisis, now the 2164 02:05:40.520 --> 02:05:46.760 war against Russia have all accelerated the breakdown of Western unipolarity. 2165 02:05:47.239 --> 02:05:49.800 He left out COVID, which I think is really huge. 2166 02:05:50.479 --> 02:05:54.439 That was a massive global strike against US. So nine 2167 02:05:54.479 --> 02:05:59.119 to eleven was targeted towards America, but COVID was really 2168 02:05:59.319 --> 02:06:03.600 a global agenda. Same type of thing. This collapse, though, 2169 02:06:03.640 --> 02:06:07.960 he said, offers hope the end of liberal to tolitarianism. 2170 02:06:08.000 --> 02:06:08.760 Think about that. 2171 02:06:08.760 --> 02:06:11.680 That's kind of it looks at first like it is 2172 02:06:11.920 --> 02:06:14.760 a contradiction in terms, because you know, you think liberal. 2173 02:06:14.840 --> 02:06:18.680 I think classical liberal, but I think that truly is 2174 02:06:18.760 --> 02:06:23.600 liberal to Tolitarianism is what we're really seeing here. Yet 2175 02:06:23.640 --> 02:06:27.520 it also brings danger, as governments may adopt ever harsher 2176 02:06:27.560 --> 02:06:30.680 measures to cling to power. The fall of the West 2177 02:06:30.920 --> 02:06:34.920 is inevitable. The only uncertainty is how and when it 2178 02:06:34.960 --> 02:06:37.920 will conclude. So they ask him, is the conflict between 2179 02:06:37.960 --> 02:06:41.039 Russia and the West really about Ukraine or the clash 2180 02:06:41.079 --> 02:06:44.880 of civilizations? He said, it is a class of civilizations. 2181 02:06:45.680 --> 02:06:48.920 As Samuel Huntington predicted. The West is fighting the rest 2182 02:06:48.960 --> 02:06:52.479 of the world to preserve its dominance. On the opposing 2183 02:06:52.560 --> 02:06:58.680 side stands the bricks nation, and this multiple multipolar order, 2184 02:06:59.199 --> 02:07:01.600 and what we see them trying to do with bricks 2185 02:07:02.000 --> 02:07:06.399 really flows out of Alexander Dugan's philosophy. Here, he said, 2186 02:07:06.439 --> 02:07:09.039 our goal is not a global nineteen eighty four, but 2187 02:07:09.119 --> 02:07:12.399 the great awakening of all people. Now, look, this all 2188 02:07:12.439 --> 02:07:16.600 sounds wonderful, doesn't it. Just remember we're talking about politicians here, 2189 02:07:17.560 --> 02:07:20.680 and they will always come up with some grand scheme 2190 02:07:20.720 --> 02:07:23.479 that sounds wonderful. The Communists had a great marketing plan 2191 02:07:23.560 --> 02:07:29.640 as well. Austria has fallen victim to a globalist enforced conformity. 2192 02:07:29.680 --> 02:07:32.279 They even have a German word for it, and they 2193 02:07:32.319 --> 02:07:36.520 have abandoned their sovereignty. Restoring that sovereignty is essential if 2194 02:07:36.520 --> 02:07:40.800 Europe is to exist as an independent poll in a peaceful, 2195 02:07:40.960 --> 02:07:42.680 multi polar world. 2196 02:07:43.439 --> 02:07:44.199 Europe is in the. 2197 02:07:44.119 --> 02:07:49.640 Midst of cultural suicide, ruled by decadent liberal globalist elite 2198 02:07:49.800 --> 02:07:55.039 that despises God and worships wealth. This elite promotes gender confusion, 2199 02:07:55.199 --> 02:07:59.760 endless wars, and mass migration while ignoring collapsing birth rates. 2200 02:08:00.520 --> 02:08:03.359 And he says Russia must be willing to aid in 2201 02:08:03.439 --> 02:08:08.520 Europe's re christianization. I just don't think that they are 2202 02:08:09.039 --> 02:08:11.319 the model that we need to see. And again he 2203 02:08:11.399 --> 02:08:14.680 talks about the Freedom Party that's there in Austria, how 2204 02:08:14.680 --> 02:08:17.920 they were blocked after they won the election, and as 2205 02:08:17.960 --> 02:08:24.399 we said before, in France, even as a Leapenn's party 2206 02:08:24.439 --> 02:08:26.840 trashed them in the European elections, and in the first 2207 02:08:26.960 --> 02:08:31.159 round of the French elections they gained even more votes, 2208 02:08:31.199 --> 02:08:33.720 and in the second and final round of the French 2209 02:08:33.760 --> 02:08:37.159 elections they picked up even more support. So how was 2210 02:08:37.199 --> 02:08:40.399 it that they crashed from first place to third place. 2211 02:08:40.399 --> 02:08:44.920 It's because Macron and all these other political parties regardless 2212 02:08:44.920 --> 02:08:48.640 of what their stated political philosophy was. They agreed that 2213 02:08:48.880 --> 02:08:53.199 they would look to see who in every region, they 2214 02:08:53.199 --> 02:08:56.720 would say, which of our parties has the strongest candidate, 2215 02:08:57.359 --> 02:08:59.800 and we will have all the other parties drop out 2216 02:09:00.560 --> 02:09:03.680 and throw their support behind that candidate in order to 2217 02:09:03.720 --> 02:09:06.800 oppose the national party. That's the game that they played 2218 02:09:07.600 --> 02:09:10.319 here in America. We've only got two parties to start with, 2219 02:09:10.760 --> 02:09:13.439 and these guys are playing the game of jerry mandering. 2220 02:09:13.479 --> 02:09:16.479 So it operates a little bit differently here, and you're 2221 02:09:16.479 --> 02:09:19.720 always going to have a winner in a two party thing. 2222 02:09:19.880 --> 02:09:23.119 So we don't we form our coalitions before the elections 2223 02:09:23.560 --> 02:09:27.319 instead of after the elections. It is the political parties 2224 02:09:27.880 --> 02:09:30.439 that are going to determine who the candidates are. That's 2225 02:09:30.439 --> 02:09:32.880 why it was such a big deal when Mike Johnson 2226 02:09:33.000 --> 02:09:36.720 went to this meeting with Jewish elites and said, we're 2227 02:09:36.760 --> 02:09:39.640 going to police out people who are opposed to you 2228 02:09:40.079 --> 02:09:42.239 out of the party. They can make sure that you 2229 02:09:42.319 --> 02:09:44.960 don't win, and even if you run in a primary, 2230 02:09:45.000 --> 02:09:48.800 they can utilize their forces to run everything against you. 2231 02:09:49.359 --> 02:09:51.319 And that's the way it's done in the US, instead 2232 02:09:51.319 --> 02:09:54.159 of done after the election with a coalition. 2233 02:10:24.039 --> 02:10:26.399 You're listening to the David Knight Show. 2234 02:10:28.000 --> 02:10:30.680 Welcome back and joining us now is Eric Peters of 2235 02:10:30.920 --> 02:10:34.079 Eric petersautos dot Com. Always great to have Eric on. 2236 02:10:34.840 --> 02:10:38.560 He has focused on liberty and mobility because you can't 2237 02:10:38.600 --> 02:10:42.239 have one without the other. It's kind of all what 2238 02:10:42.319 --> 02:10:44.640 Jefferson said about life and liberty. He said, the hand 2239 02:10:44.640 --> 02:10:49.600 of force can destroy life or liberty, but cannot separate them. 2240 02:10:49.640 --> 02:10:52.000 Of course he said disjoin them. But that's a little 2241 02:10:52.039 --> 02:10:57.119 bit stilted o our language, but it definitely is true, 2242 02:10:57.119 --> 02:11:01.159 and you cannot disjoin liberty and mobility either. So I 2243 02:11:01.199 --> 02:11:04.840 always enjoy Eric's take on things. Eric, I was sad 2244 02:11:04.840 --> 02:11:06.880 to see that you're we were just talking about this 2245 02:11:06.920 --> 02:11:11.399 over the break. You wrote a piece three days ago. 2246 02:11:11.840 --> 02:11:15.920 You said, our Charlie, what happened in your family? 2247 02:11:16.720 --> 02:11:19.279 Well, yeah, it's a tough thing to talk about. I 2248 02:11:19.319 --> 02:11:21.119 hope I'll be able to do this well enough. But 2249 02:11:21.880 --> 02:11:24.840 we had a had about a two and a half 2250 02:11:24.920 --> 02:11:28.920 year old mixed breed German shepherd lab and you know 2251 02:11:29.000 --> 02:11:31.039 he's been my companion for that full time and just 2252 02:11:31.079 --> 02:11:34.600 a very big presence in our life. Anyway, he got 2253 02:11:34.640 --> 02:11:36.960 hit by I guess a car truck. I'm not sure 2254 02:11:37.000 --> 02:11:41.000 exactly which, And it was really jarring because, as anybody 2255 02:11:41.039 --> 02:11:43.640 who's been through having a pet die knows, it's one 2256 02:11:43.680 --> 02:11:46.520 thing when your pet is elderly and old or sick, 2257 02:11:47.039 --> 02:11:49.399 and you you know, you understand that it's going to happen, 2258 02:11:49.399 --> 02:11:52.079 and you have time to prepare for it, but you know, 2259 02:11:52.159 --> 02:11:54.079 with a with a young pet like that, to just 2260 02:11:54.199 --> 02:11:58.640 be gone instantly, just like that, just what happened really difficult. 2261 02:11:58.760 --> 02:11:58.920 You know. 2262 02:11:58.960 --> 02:12:01.159 Boy, For the last several day. This happened on Friday, 2263 02:12:01.520 --> 02:12:03.880 I've been having deja vu, you know, certain times of 2264 02:12:03.960 --> 02:12:07.520 the day like oh, I better put water in paces bowl, 2265 02:12:07.600 --> 02:12:09.359 or oh, it's time for us to go for our run. 2266 02:12:09.399 --> 02:12:11.600 I went for a run on Monday, and you know, 2267 02:12:11.640 --> 02:12:13.359 one of his things that he would do, he would 2268 02:12:13.520 --> 02:12:16.479 carry around he was a strong dog, a big log 2269 02:12:16.520 --> 02:12:18.039 in his mouth and he would keep it in his 2270 02:12:18.119 --> 02:12:21.800 mouth for a mile or more on our run. You know, 2271 02:12:21.840 --> 02:12:23.760 It's just one of those things. And as I'm running 2272 02:12:23.800 --> 02:12:27.840 by myself, which was strange, I saw one of the 2273 02:12:27.840 --> 02:12:29.560 logs that he dropped off on the trail and it 2274 02:12:29.680 --> 02:12:32.680 just really I'm sorry, kind of really, I'm being overly 2275 02:12:32.720 --> 02:12:33.760 emotional about it, So I. 2276 02:12:33.800 --> 02:12:38.199 Apologize Oh no, I understand, absolutely understand. It's like you said, 2277 02:12:38.239 --> 02:12:40.079 it's the suddenness of this, and I think that's one 2278 02:12:40.079 --> 02:12:43.119 of the things that really magnified what happened to Charlie Kirk. 2279 02:12:44.039 --> 02:12:45.800 But I think, you know, when we look at it 2280 02:12:45.840 --> 02:12:48.439 and how they have taken his legacy and they have 2281 02:12:49.199 --> 02:12:52.520 flipped it completely opposite of what he was known for, 2282 02:12:52.600 --> 02:12:56.079 what he ought to be remembered for. They're doing everything 2283 02:12:56.119 --> 02:12:56.800 they can. 2284 02:12:57.159 --> 02:12:58.720 To make a. 2285 02:13:00.359 --> 02:13:04.359 A saint, a celebrity whatever. There in Oklahoma. They want 2286 02:13:04.399 --> 02:13:08.399 to put a Charlie Kirk statue on every university campus. 2287 02:13:08.600 --> 02:13:10.720 I think the right way to honor him is to 2288 02:13:10.760 --> 02:13:13.720 support free speech, But it seems like the people who 2289 02:13:14.760 --> 02:13:17.000 agreed with him and who followed him want to do 2290 02:13:17.159 --> 02:13:20.399 just the opposite of that. They want to attack free speech, 2291 02:13:20.640 --> 02:13:22.960 and they think this gives them an opportunity to do 2292 02:13:23.399 --> 02:13:25.720 what they know the left was doing to them before. 2293 02:13:26.520 --> 02:13:29.359 What do you think to take Trump? Did you happen 2294 02:13:29.359 --> 02:13:31.800 to ask the interview? It was a couple of days 2295 02:13:31.840 --> 02:13:34.279 after Kirk's assassination, and I wish I could remember who 2296 02:13:34.319 --> 02:13:36.920 the journalist was. It was a woman, and you know, 2297 02:13:37.039 --> 02:13:41.000 she was asking Trump about the calls to suppress what 2298 02:13:41.039 --> 02:13:43.800 they called hate speech. Now, it's interesting that Trump all 2299 02:13:43.840 --> 02:13:47.520 people right is not even exactly what they excoriated the 2300 02:13:47.560 --> 02:13:50.439 left for doing during the twenty twenty four campaign season, 2301 02:13:50.479 --> 02:13:53.159 and it was one of the reasons why people voted 2302 02:13:53.199 --> 02:13:56.079 for Trump, because they were tired of having their differing 2303 02:13:56.079 --> 02:13:57.680 opinions framed as hate. 2304 02:13:57.920 --> 02:13:58.319 That's right. 2305 02:13:58.319 --> 02:14:01.359 Well, I've got a question. Oh, you're hateful. You know, 2306 02:14:01.399 --> 02:14:03.680 we can't discuss that because clearly you're a Cretan and 2307 02:14:03.680 --> 02:14:06.880 you're you know, you're motivated by malicious motives rather than Hey, 2308 02:14:06.920 --> 02:14:10.640 I just have a question. Anyway, This female reporter asked 2309 02:14:10.680 --> 02:14:14.800 Trump about that, and Trump had the egregious vulgar gall 2310 02:14:15.399 --> 02:14:19.399 to say something like, uh, well, Charlie Cook, does he 2311 02:14:19.479 --> 02:14:21.520 may not think that way anymore. I can't remember that. 2312 02:14:21.600 --> 02:14:23.560 Yes, that's exactly what he said. We played that clip. 2313 02:14:23.720 --> 02:14:26.159 Yeah, she said, Charlie Kirch said there's no such thing 2314 02:14:26.199 --> 02:14:28.399 as hate speech. I probably wouldn't say that now. Yeah, 2315 02:14:28.439 --> 02:14:30.119 that's basically despicable. 2316 02:14:30.199 --> 02:14:32.600 Because again, everything that whether you agree with what Kirk 2317 02:14:32.640 --> 02:14:34.399 had to say or not, I think the one thing 2318 02:14:34.439 --> 02:14:36.640 that has to be universally acknowledged is that he was 2319 02:14:36.680 --> 02:14:39.880 willing to debate. He was willing to discuss practically any topic, 2320 02:14:39.920 --> 02:14:44.039 including even Israel lately, and you know the influence of 2321 02:14:44.039 --> 02:14:46.960 the Israeli government over the American government, and I think 2322 02:14:47.000 --> 02:14:49.199 that's ultimately what got him into trouble. You know, Trump 2323 02:14:49.239 --> 02:14:53.800 demands Lockstep adherents and even worship of himself and his policies, 2324 02:14:54.119 --> 02:14:56.399 and he does it in a manner that's just so 2325 02:14:56.800 --> 02:15:00.039 abrasive and insulting to the people who support him. This 2326 02:15:00.039 --> 02:15:02.960 this latest business of doing the parking break one eighty 2327 02:15:03.039 --> 02:15:05.640 on Ukraine. You know, again, it's another example. You know, 2328 02:15:05.680 --> 02:15:07.960 if people had been aware that he was going to 2329 02:15:08.000 --> 02:15:10.399 do that in twenty twenty four, I doubt many people 2330 02:15:10.399 --> 02:15:12.359 would have voted for him. One of the reasons, strong 2331 02:15:12.399 --> 02:15:14.479 reasons people voted for him was we are sick of 2332 02:15:14.520 --> 02:15:17.000 all these wars. We're sick of being forced to finance 2333 02:15:17.039 --> 02:15:19.800 it through our taxes and thereby be complicit in it. 2334 02:15:20.079 --> 02:15:22.079 You know, the mass murder in Gaza. We want no 2335 02:15:22.119 --> 02:15:24.680 part of this stuff. It's got to stop. That's one 2336 02:15:24.720 --> 02:15:27.239 of the reasons why people voted for him. And now 2337 02:15:27.680 --> 02:15:31.800 this brazen guy just says, well, we're going to back Ukraine. 2338 02:15:31.800 --> 02:15:33.600 And not only that, he's saying that Ukraine has a 2339 02:15:33.680 --> 02:15:36.760 right to not only sees back every territory that it's lost, 2340 02:15:36.760 --> 02:15:38.279 but potentially even more than that. 2341 02:15:38.439 --> 02:15:40.920 Yeah, it takes some back from Russia. Exactly. 2342 02:15:41.479 --> 02:15:43.560 It's madness. How do they think that this is going 2343 02:15:43.600 --> 02:15:45.920 to be received by Putin? What do you think Putin's 2344 02:15:46.000 --> 02:15:48.239 response to this is going to be. I wouldn't be 2345 02:15:48.279 --> 02:15:51.079 surprised if he amps things up because he believes that 2346 02:15:51.119 --> 02:15:54.279 he's got a narrow window of opportunity now to finish 2347 02:15:54.319 --> 02:15:58.119 this situation before boots that go on the ground, potentially 2348 02:15:58.159 --> 02:15:58.960 American boots. 2349 02:15:59.039 --> 02:15:59.560 That's right. 2350 02:16:00.079 --> 02:16:04.680 Yeah, he's taunting Putin, saying he doesn't have much a military. 2351 02:16:04.720 --> 02:16:06.439 He could have finished this off in a couple of weeks, 2352 02:16:06.439 --> 02:16:08.960 you know, like we finished off Afghanistan right in a 2353 02:16:08.960 --> 02:16:09.600 couple of weeks. 2354 02:16:09.880 --> 02:16:12.039 I was having a conversation with a friend of mine 2355 02:16:12.079 --> 02:16:15.159 who stopped by yesterday about this, and we got to 2356 02:16:15.199 --> 02:16:18.239 talking about Putin versus Trump and the difference between a 2357 02:16:18.279 --> 02:16:19.640 serious person and a clown. 2358 02:16:19.880 --> 02:16:20.159 Yeah. 2359 02:16:20.239 --> 02:16:22.159 Now, whatever you may think of Putin, you don't have 2360 02:16:22.199 --> 02:16:23.680 to say that you like him. You know, that's a 2361 02:16:23.760 --> 02:16:25.920 childish argument. It's not about whether you think he's a 2362 02:16:26.000 --> 02:16:28.560 nice man or a bad man. He's a serious man. 2363 02:16:28.600 --> 02:16:33.159 He's a serious person with serious credentials, who is not 2364 02:16:33.239 --> 02:16:36.120 an idiot and who understands history. And look at Trump, 2365 02:16:36.200 --> 02:16:38.239 what do we have. You know, we literally have a 2366 02:16:38.280 --> 02:16:41.440 clown going up against a serious person, a dangerous clown. 2367 02:16:41.760 --> 02:16:44.879 I believe he was installed for that very reason. 2368 02:16:45.040 --> 02:16:49.079 You know, he even had his first Commerce secretary, William 2369 02:16:49.200 --> 02:16:52.399 Let's see Webber Ross, who said that you know, it 2370 02:16:52.440 --> 02:16:54.600 was the Rothschild bank that he was working for, and 2371 02:16:54.600 --> 02:16:56.680 he said, you know, when Trump was going bankrupt, he 2372 02:16:56.719 --> 02:16:58.520 showed up and he saw this big crowd around him. 2373 02:16:58.559 --> 02:17:01.959 He said, I contacted the Rothschild people and I said, hey, 2374 02:17:01.959 --> 02:17:04.040 this is somebody I think we could use. I think 2375 02:17:04.040 --> 02:17:06.600 that's exactly what they're doing. They're using him as a clown. 2376 02:17:06.879 --> 02:17:10.479 They're using him to divide people, They're using him to 2377 02:17:10.520 --> 02:17:12.639 create chaos. I think that's his role. 2378 02:17:12.760 --> 02:17:15.239 And also a distraction, and maybe the worst kind of 2379 02:17:15.239 --> 02:17:19.239 distraction imaginable. You know, as everything falls apart internally, and 2380 02:17:19.799 --> 02:17:23.040 you know, potentially, let's say the Epstein things percolates up again, 2381 02:17:23.200 --> 02:17:25.799 or we find new details about what may have been 2382 02:17:25.799 --> 02:17:30.040 involved in Kirk's murder that could have incredibly damaging repercussions. 2383 02:17:30.920 --> 02:17:33.239 What would be a perfect thing to get people's mind 2384 02:17:33.280 --> 02:17:35.760 off of that, Well, perhaps a big war in Eastern Europe. 2385 02:17:36.239 --> 02:17:39.639 Do just that. That's right, and that's what I have 2386 02:17:39.799 --> 02:17:42.879 this creepy feeling maybe in the works, and. 2387 02:17:42.879 --> 02:17:44.799 I think he's absolutely capable of it. 2388 02:17:44.879 --> 02:17:46.479 You know, you look at what he's doing with the 2389 02:17:46.840 --> 02:17:49.280 trying to make an excuse that he can blow up 2390 02:17:49.319 --> 02:17:53.760 ships off of Venezuela without even stopping them or verifying 2391 02:17:53.799 --> 02:17:57.040 that they're running drugs. And as I pointed out at 2392 02:17:57.079 --> 02:17:59.600 the same time that he's saying, this is an appropriate response, 2393 02:17:59.680 --> 02:18:03.399 and JD. Vance is saying it's appropriate. Marco Rubio and 2394 02:18:03.440 --> 02:18:05.399 Pete Haigseth are all saying, oh, this is what our 2395 02:18:05.440 --> 02:18:06.120 military is for. 2396 02:18:06.840 --> 02:18:07.360 No, it's not. 2397 02:18:07.719 --> 02:18:11.719 We had our military was stopping ships, inspecting them. If 2398 02:18:11.719 --> 02:18:13.559 they find drugs, they would take the drugs, they would 2399 02:18:13.600 --> 02:18:15.760 arrest the people. They didn't line them up on the 2400 02:18:15.760 --> 02:18:18.680 side of the boat and machine gun them. And so 2401 02:18:18.840 --> 02:18:21.920 this is an extra judicial killing. I told the audience 2402 02:18:21.959 --> 02:18:24.799 earlier on the program, I said, Dutarte did this in 2403 02:18:24.840 --> 02:18:27.479 the Philippines. He said, you know, you think it's a 2404 02:18:27.520 --> 02:18:31.040 drug dealer, shoot to kill and he's now in the 2405 02:18:31.079 --> 02:18:34.440 International Criminal Court and they're looking at him for those 2406 02:18:34.520 --> 02:18:38.000 extra judicial killings. It's a crime, it's a war crime 2407 02:18:38.520 --> 02:18:40.319 that he's doing, so he's perfectly capable. 2408 02:18:40.440 --> 02:18:43.280 Yeah, it's a psychopathic elaboration of that old if you 2409 02:18:43.319 --> 02:18:46.920 see something, say something. Now, if you see something, kill something. Yeah, 2410 02:18:47.079 --> 02:18:49.000 these are acts of war, and they're also the acts 2411 02:18:49.000 --> 02:18:52.639 of a coward bully in that Venezuela. It's just another 2412 02:18:52.719 --> 02:18:56.479 example of big old Uncle Sam throwing his weight around 2413 02:18:57.239 --> 02:19:02.440 and extraditionally extra judicially killing foreign nationals outside of the 2414 02:19:02.520 --> 02:19:05.399 United States with impunity because you know, we can do it. 2415 02:19:05.399 --> 02:19:06.959 What's Venezuela going to do about it? 2416 02:19:07.040 --> 02:19:07.440 That's right? 2417 02:19:07.479 --> 02:19:09.639 You know, I think at some point Trump is going 2418 02:19:09.719 --> 02:19:12.120 to whack the wrong guy, and Putin could be just 2419 02:19:12.159 --> 02:19:13.879 the guy who's the wrong guy to whack. 2420 02:19:14.040 --> 02:19:15.399 That's right, that's right. 2421 02:19:15.760 --> 02:19:18.319 Yeah, it's very concerning, you know, even escalated saying yeah, 2422 02:19:18.319 --> 02:19:20.239 we should shoot down Russian jets if they get any 2423 02:19:20.280 --> 02:19:23.000 more close to the borders and things like that as well. 2424 02:19:23.280 --> 02:19:24.959 It's a dangerous time that we live. And of course, 2425 02:19:25.520 --> 02:19:27.600 very much like the Chinese curse, isn't it may you 2426 02:19:27.639 --> 02:19:30.799 live in interesting times. There's never a shortage of thanks 2427 02:19:30.840 --> 02:19:33.479 to report on it. It's like and now for something 2428 02:19:33.520 --> 02:19:35.799 completely different from Trump than he said yesterday. 2429 02:19:35.840 --> 02:19:38.200 You know, it's like Monty Python, I'm glad. 2430 02:19:37.959 --> 02:19:40.000 You brought up China. It just I happened. I needed 2431 02:19:40.000 --> 02:19:41.360 to break the other day, and so I was just 2432 02:19:41.440 --> 02:19:44.120 watching some random YouTube videos, and I was watching some 2433 02:19:44.280 --> 02:19:48.559 videos of depicting scenes in China around, for example, their 2434 02:19:48.639 --> 02:19:52.319 train stations and their airports, their infrastructure, which is immaculate 2435 02:19:52.680 --> 02:19:55.440 and modern. I looked at their bullet trains and I 2436 02:19:55.479 --> 02:19:57.399 compared it with what's going on in this country. You know, 2437 02:19:57.520 --> 02:20:01.319 China is actually concerned with China and trying to build 2438 02:20:01.399 --> 02:20:04.319 up its own internal society and improve itself, where it 2439 02:20:04.319 --> 02:20:07.680 seems that the US is de industrializing and rapidly descending 2440 02:20:07.680 --> 02:20:10.000 from second to third world status, you know, to the 2441 02:20:10.040 --> 02:20:12.520 extent we can actually see the change from day to day. 2442 02:20:13.760 --> 02:20:16.040 Yeah, and it's by design, and it's by the same 2443 02:20:16.079 --> 02:20:18.920 people that are running Trump, even though he pushes back 2444 02:20:19.040 --> 02:20:23.079 against the climate mcguffin that I call it still it's 2445 02:20:23.200 --> 02:20:27.680 the deliberate de industrialization of the West. And there's two 2446 02:20:27.760 --> 02:20:30.000 sides of that. They want to de industrialize the West 2447 02:20:30.360 --> 02:20:34.079 while they give China the advantage in terms of manufacturing, 2448 02:20:34.239 --> 02:20:36.559 and the huge advantage that they have is in terms 2449 02:20:36.639 --> 02:20:39.680 of energy costs. But as Gerald Clenti has said many 2450 02:20:39.680 --> 02:20:42.399 times on the show, he said, the business of China 2451 02:20:42.600 --> 02:20:46.680 is business. The business of America is war, and that's 2452 02:20:46.719 --> 02:20:47.719 not serving us well. 2453 02:20:47.879 --> 02:20:51.959 And constructiveness. Yeah, I saw something also related to China 2454 02:20:52.120 --> 02:20:54.360 that talked. It was a person talking about how in 2455 02:20:54.479 --> 02:20:56.680 China the oligarchs, the really rich people kind of do 2456 02:20:56.760 --> 02:20:59.559 what American oligarchs did in the late part of the 2457 02:20:59.639 --> 02:21:02.639 nineteenth in early twentieth century, when they did things like 2458 02:21:02.639 --> 02:21:05.440 the Carnegie Library. You know, they funded these these vast 2459 02:21:05.479 --> 02:21:07.959 things that were good for Americans, you know, leaving aside 2460 02:21:07.959 --> 02:21:10.680 the question of corporate oligarchs. At least they put me 2461 02:21:10.799 --> 02:21:14.079 back into the country, whereas now the oligarch class in 2462 02:21:14.079 --> 02:21:19.280 this country just flaunts its gratuitous, egregious theft wealth, you know, 2463 02:21:19.319 --> 02:21:22.719 with one twenty thousand dollars mcmanson after the next, and 2464 02:21:23.000 --> 02:21:26.239 yachts and lavish lifestyles, thumbing their nose and rubbing our 2465 02:21:26.280 --> 02:21:27.159 faces in it. 2466 02:21:27.520 --> 02:21:28.360 Yeah. Yeah. 2467 02:21:28.719 --> 02:21:30.799 And to make it clear, you know, when you look 2468 02:21:30.840 --> 02:21:34.360 at somebody like Henry Ford, who had his issues, he 2469 02:21:34.440 --> 02:21:36.799 wanted to make sure that his workers could afford to 2470 02:21:36.840 --> 02:21:38.959 buy the product that he has. Who's going to buy 2471 02:21:39.079 --> 02:21:41.799 these products when they replace all of us with robots, 2472 02:21:41.840 --> 02:21:45.120 That's what their goal is. They won't replace everybody with robots. 2473 02:21:45.440 --> 02:21:49.479 And I said when Trump did his tax cut in 2474 02:21:49.520 --> 02:21:53.399 twenty seventeen, because it was all targeted towards corporations and 2475 02:21:53.440 --> 02:21:57.399 he was going to incentivize them to bring to onshore manufacturing, 2476 02:21:57.479 --> 02:21:59.760 I said, that's not going to happen until they've got 2477 02:21:59.799 --> 02:22:03.760 the robots to replace the workers they. I said, that's 2478 02:22:03.760 --> 02:22:07.760 why they've got the open border immigration. And once they 2479 02:22:07.799 --> 02:22:10.319 have robots to that point, they'll get tough on immigration, 2480 02:22:10.879 --> 02:22:14.120 and they will pay these oligarchs a lot of money 2481 02:22:14.200 --> 02:22:16.440 to bring factories back, but it's not going to bring 2482 02:22:16.479 --> 02:22:19.360 back any jobs. They're just going to be incentivized to 2483 02:22:19.360 --> 02:22:21.920 build the factories and they'll brag about the fact that 2484 02:22:21.959 --> 02:22:24.280 they've got manufacturing in the United States, but they won't 2485 02:22:24.319 --> 02:22:28.680 be using it to raise the standard of living of anybody. 2486 02:22:28.719 --> 02:22:31.200 And I think that's really is what is happening and 2487 02:22:31.239 --> 02:22:32.200 what is going to happen. 2488 02:22:33.239 --> 02:22:35.000 I think so too, And I'd like to focus in 2489 02:22:35.079 --> 02:22:36.799 on something that you mentioned which has to do with 2490 02:22:36.840 --> 02:22:39.799 that word about owning things. You know, they're not concerned 2491 02:22:39.840 --> 02:22:43.159 about that. It's not that they're well, how are people 2492 02:22:43.200 --> 02:22:45.600 going to be able to afford these fifty thousand dollars 2493 02:22:45.639 --> 02:22:48.959 vehicles that they're pushing out right now? They know that 2494 02:22:49.000 --> 02:22:51.120 the end goal is for you to not own. 2495 02:22:50.959 --> 02:22:52.159 The vehicle exactly. 2496 02:22:52.159 --> 02:22:54.760 The end goal is for you to rent the ride, 2497 02:22:55.120 --> 02:22:57.680 to rent everything, you know, sort of like the way 2498 02:22:57.680 --> 02:23:00.399 that you pay for a streaming service that you can 2499 02:23:00.440 --> 02:23:04.840 watch TV. That's what they want, Serial debt. They want 2500 02:23:04.879 --> 02:23:09.399 to completely disconnect us, you know, the typical average American 2501 02:23:09.479 --> 02:23:12.159 from owning anything, in order to control everything. 2502 02:23:12.440 --> 02:23:13.680 It isn't like they didn't tell us. 2503 02:23:13.719 --> 02:23:17.040 They constantly say, you will own nothing, right, yes, you'll 2504 02:23:17.079 --> 02:23:20.120 be happy. And I thought about you this way, so 2505 02:23:20.280 --> 02:23:22.520 I wanted to get you back on because, yeah, I 2506 02:23:22.520 --> 02:23:24.440 haven't talked to Eric for a while. I saw that 2507 02:23:24.760 --> 02:23:29.079 Portia was having problems, and Portia, of course owned by VW, 2508 02:23:29.159 --> 02:23:31.360 and the two of them are having to pull back 2509 02:23:31.479 --> 02:23:35.200 because they can't sell their evs. And I remember, I said, 2510 02:23:35.399 --> 02:23:37.959 and I talked to the audience. I said, yeah, Eric's 2511 02:23:38.000 --> 02:23:39.559 been saying this for the longest time. They should have 2512 02:23:39.600 --> 02:23:42.399 hired him as CEO of Portia, they wouldn't have had 2513 02:23:42.399 --> 02:23:45.760 this issue because you knew, and of course common sense 2514 02:23:45.760 --> 02:23:49.319 would tell us that they have a huge advantage. These 2515 02:23:49.360 --> 02:23:52.399 companies that have been making internal combustion engines for a 2516 02:23:52.399 --> 02:23:55.159 long time, they had a huge advantage to China or 2517 02:23:55.159 --> 02:23:58.879 to other potential competitors that had to be destroyed by 2518 02:23:58.879 --> 02:24:01.840 saying no, now we can't use internal combustion engines. We're 2519 02:24:01.840 --> 02:24:05.440 going to have to do the skates of the evs. 2520 02:24:05.920 --> 02:24:08.760 And China's got the advantage with the battery technology. They've 2521 02:24:08.799 --> 02:24:11.959 also got now a manufacturing advantage in terms of cheap 2522 02:24:12.040 --> 02:24:13.040 available energy. 2523 02:24:13.239 --> 02:24:15.399 Energy is so expensive in the UK they're. 2524 02:24:15.280 --> 02:24:19.520 Shutting down all their manufacturing, and in Germany it's very expensive. 2525 02:24:19.559 --> 02:24:23.120 They can't be cost competitive with it. But now they're saying, hey, 2526 02:24:23.159 --> 02:24:24.559 we're going to have to pull back a little bit. 2527 02:24:24.760 --> 02:24:29.200 We've mal invested billions of dollars in the EV industry. 2528 02:24:29.280 --> 02:24:31.920 Nobody wants these things, nobody's buying it, So now we're 2529 02:24:31.920 --> 02:24:34.120 going to have to pull back and try to have 2530 02:24:34.200 --> 02:24:37.879 a cottage industry of maybe being allowed to sell some 2531 02:24:38.040 --> 02:24:40.600 internal combustion engines. But it's going to break the back 2532 02:24:41.239 --> 02:24:44.120 if it's even allowed of these, if they even allow 2533 02:24:44.159 --> 02:24:47.719 them to sell a few boutique things to the rich, 2534 02:24:47.920 --> 02:24:49.200 it's still going to break their back. 2535 02:24:50.200 --> 02:24:52.639 It will, and this is a general problem. Stillanta switches 2536 02:24:52.680 --> 02:24:55.200 to the parent company of the Dodge. RAMJEP and Chryst Lobal 2537 02:24:55.360 --> 02:24:59.079 Brands announced about a week ago that they were not 2538 02:24:59.239 --> 02:25:01.799 going to produce the electric version of the Ram fifteen 2539 02:25:01.879 --> 02:25:04.200 hundred pickup that they had planned to bring out in 2540 02:25:04.200 --> 02:25:07.079 twenty twenty six, because they understand that it would be 2541 02:25:07.159 --> 02:25:09.520 a disaster, that nobody's going to buy it. And so 2542 02:25:09.840 --> 02:25:12.440 rather than just build these things and then shipping them 2543 02:25:12.440 --> 02:25:14.479 to dealers where they're just going to sit and then 2544 02:25:14.520 --> 02:25:16.799 having to give them away fire sale prices, which is 2545 02:25:16.799 --> 02:25:19.079 what Fordes had to do with the fighting, they figured 2546 02:25:19.079 --> 02:25:20.520 it is smart thing to do is to cut bait. 2547 02:25:20.559 --> 02:25:24.040 You know, they've practically destroyed the Dodge brand already by 2548 02:25:24.079 --> 02:25:26.280 getting rid of the engine in the charger and getting 2549 02:25:26.360 --> 02:25:29.079 rid of the Challenger altogether and replacing it with this 2550 02:25:29.159 --> 02:25:32.200 electric charger, which has been an epic flop. I mean, 2551 02:25:32.239 --> 02:25:35.920 it is even worse than the Adds, a disaster back 2552 02:25:35.959 --> 02:25:38.319 in the fifties. It hasn't been remarked on but I mean, 2553 02:25:38.360 --> 02:25:40.799 it's that bad. They can't sell these things. I have 2554 02:25:40.920 --> 02:25:43.360 yet to see one in the wild. I have yet 2555 02:25:43.399 --> 02:25:45.959 to see one on the road. They haven't even sent 2556 02:25:46.000 --> 02:25:49.319 me one to review yet. Because you know, it's not 2557 02:25:49.440 --> 02:25:51.159 just that they're short range and all the other problems 2558 02:25:51.159 --> 02:25:54.840 that electric vehicles have. It's not well made. It's a problematic, 2559 02:25:54.959 --> 02:25:58.479 problem prone vehicle that suffers endless glitches such as bricking, 2560 02:25:58.959 --> 02:26:00.360 to the point where they have to send out a 2561 02:26:00.360 --> 02:26:03.040 technician to try to figure out why it won't move. Now, 2562 02:26:03.159 --> 02:26:04.920 the other thing is that you brought up I find 2563 02:26:04.920 --> 02:26:07.959 this endlessly fascinating with regard to portion and these other 2564 02:26:08.559 --> 02:26:12.200 manufacturers that are no longer run by car people, because 2565 02:26:12.559 --> 02:26:15.639 any car guy would tell you that a Porsche there 2566 02:26:15.680 --> 02:26:17.799 are intangibles. When it comes to a car like that. 2567 02:26:17.879 --> 02:26:20.200 It's not just about how quickly it goes to zero 2568 02:26:20.200 --> 02:26:23.840 to sixty, the fatal error and thinking, well, we'll just 2569 02:26:23.879 --> 02:26:27.000 basically produce a Tesla that looks like a Porsche essentially, 2570 02:26:27.360 --> 02:26:30.040 you know, and somehow we'll sell that, failing to understand 2571 02:26:30.360 --> 02:26:32.680 that one of the big reasons that people buy Porsches 2572 02:26:32.799 --> 02:26:36.479 is because they love that six cylinder Boxer engine, and 2573 02:26:36.479 --> 02:26:38.959 they love the sound that it makes and the emotional, 2574 02:26:39.079 --> 02:26:43.200 visceral feeling that you get that is lost entirely. Electric 2575 02:26:43.319 --> 02:26:45.920 vehicles are fundamentally homogenous. Say what you will about you know, 2576 02:26:46.079 --> 02:26:47.440 well they reply it and this and that, But they're 2577 02:26:47.479 --> 02:26:49.680 fundamentally when you drive one, you've driven them all. 2578 02:26:49.920 --> 02:26:53.840 Yeah, you know, and don't they does Porsche and some 2579 02:26:53.879 --> 02:26:56.159 of these other sports car companies when they make their evs, 2580 02:26:56.280 --> 02:26:59.799 do they take the Tesla approach in terms of instrumentation, 2581 02:27:00.159 --> 02:27:01.959 because that's one of the things that is also a 2582 02:27:02.040 --> 02:27:04.120 part of the field. You know, how does the controls feel? 2583 02:27:04.319 --> 02:27:07.280 Does it feel solid or tendsy? I hate the idea 2584 02:27:07.360 --> 02:27:10.360 that I've got to use a touchscreen while I'm driving. 2585 02:27:10.440 --> 02:27:12.879 How is that safe? You know, you're supposed to use 2586 02:27:13.159 --> 02:27:15.760 hands off of your phone or we'll give you a ticket. 2587 02:27:15.840 --> 02:27:18.520 But hey, it's a wonderful thing if we take all 2588 02:27:18.559 --> 02:27:22.239 the controls. Even on Tesla, you can't even adjust the 2589 02:27:22.280 --> 02:27:25.879 direction of the air vents without using the touchpad that 2590 02:27:26.000 --> 02:27:27.600 is attached to the dashboard. 2591 02:27:28.559 --> 02:27:30.399 Yep, And they're all doing it now right now in 2592 02:27:30.440 --> 02:27:33.000 the driveway. I have a brand new twenty twenty six 2593 02:27:33.159 --> 02:27:36.159 Kia Sportage, which is a nothing special little crossover. The 2594 02:27:36.280 --> 02:27:38.760 stickers for about twenty eight thousand dollars and it's got 2595 02:27:38.799 --> 02:27:43.079 a full width, single sheet LCD screen for everything, you know, 2596 02:27:43.120 --> 02:27:45.799 the main instrument cluster, and then off to its right 2597 02:27:45.959 --> 02:27:47.840 is the thing that you have to tap and swipe 2598 02:27:47.840 --> 02:27:50.239 through in order to operate functions such as, you know, 2599 02:27:50.360 --> 02:27:52.920 changing the station that you're listening to. And you're right, 2600 02:27:52.959 --> 02:27:56.600 And it's just an illustration of how disingenuous the government 2601 02:27:56.719 --> 02:27:58.840 is because on the one hand, they say to people, ah, 2602 02:27:58.920 --> 02:28:00.680 you can't use your cell phone and while you're driving, 2603 02:28:00.680 --> 02:28:03.120 because it's dangerous to be looking at your phone and 2604 02:28:03.159 --> 02:28:05.760 swiping and tapping a screen while you're trying to drive. 2605 02:28:05.840 --> 02:28:07.719 You can't keep your eyes on the road. But it's 2606 02:28:07.799 --> 02:28:09.879 no problem if you build the thing into the car. 2607 02:28:10.159 --> 02:28:11.520 Yeah, it's okay. 2608 02:28:11.760 --> 02:28:13.280 We need to have some controls that I have to 2609 02:28:13.280 --> 02:28:15.040 take my seat belt off in order to use. 2610 02:28:15.120 --> 02:28:16.120 Right. Yeah. 2611 02:28:16.120 --> 02:28:17.319 So one of the you know, to get back to 2612 02:28:17.319 --> 02:28:19.159 circle back to what we were talking about, the great 2613 02:28:19.200 --> 02:28:22.200 disaster in my opinion, and it's another one is that 2614 02:28:22.719 --> 02:28:26.239 this homogeneity of appearance in the interior of cars that 2615 02:28:26.399 --> 02:28:29.680 has been that has been bequeathed to us by this 2616 02:28:29.760 --> 02:28:33.959 obsession with reproducing the smartphone in your car, the look 2617 02:28:34.000 --> 02:28:37.000 of a smartphone, So now you've lost that individuality too, 2618 02:28:37.079 --> 02:28:39.559 instead of having this kind of neat array of gauge. 2619 02:28:39.639 --> 02:28:41.040 Is a really good example of this. A couple of 2620 02:28:41.079 --> 02:28:43.799 weeks ago, I had the latest Mini Cooper and it 2621 02:28:43.920 --> 02:28:45.479 used to be that one of the cool things about 2622 02:28:45.520 --> 02:28:47.559 the Mini Cooper, which is owned by the Germans, it's 2623 02:28:47.600 --> 02:28:51.479 owned by BMW, but nonetheless was that they replicated the feel, 2624 02:28:51.680 --> 02:28:54.399 the look and the function of the sixties Minis. You know, 2625 02:28:54.399 --> 02:28:56.079 if you've ever been in one of the old models, 2626 02:28:56.200 --> 02:28:59.239 they had the cool little chrome toggle switches, you know, 2627 02:28:59.360 --> 02:29:01.360 and it happened vibe to it, that feel, and it 2628 02:29:01.399 --> 02:29:03.879 was like no other car. Well, they did what everybody 2629 02:29:03.879 --> 02:29:06.000 else is doing, and they got rid of essentially all 2630 02:29:06.440 --> 02:29:10.479 of the physical tactile controls, the switches and knobs, and 2631 02:29:10.479 --> 02:29:13.440 in lieu of that, they put one gigantic pie plate touchscreen, 2632 02:29:14.239 --> 02:29:16.000 you know, in the middle, in the center of the 2633 02:29:16.120 --> 02:29:19.280 and it looks cheap, it looks homogeneous, and it's also 2634 02:29:19.280 --> 02:29:21.760 in a way, in my opinion, it's anti human. It's 2635 02:29:21.799 --> 02:29:23.239 antiseptic cold. 2636 02:29:23.680 --> 02:29:27.600 You know, they shut down the last UK factory for 2637 02:29:28.559 --> 02:29:31.760 the Mini BMW. Did am I correct? I think they 2638 02:29:31.840 --> 02:29:35.159 just shout, but I wouldn't be surprised I saw something 2639 02:29:35.200 --> 02:29:38.159 because again, you can't do manufacturing in the US because 2640 02:29:38.239 --> 02:29:41.559 hair Starmer, the Nazi doesn't want you to have any energy, 2641 02:29:41.680 --> 02:29:43.120 so they shut it down. 2642 02:29:43.200 --> 02:29:44.200 I don't think, you know. 2643 02:29:44.399 --> 02:29:48.680 And it was an article out of the UK and 2644 02:29:48.719 --> 02:29:51.200 they were saying, you know, this is something that was 2645 02:29:51.280 --> 02:29:55.440 fundamentally British, as you point about, very any idiosyncratic, and 2646 02:29:55.479 --> 02:29:58.000 now it's not going to be made anymore in Britain 2647 02:29:58.079 --> 02:30:00.280 because of the cost of energy. 2648 02:30:00.399 --> 02:30:00.760 This there. 2649 02:30:01.719 --> 02:30:04.799 Yeah, if nothing survives any longer except the brand, you know, 2650 02:30:04.840 --> 02:30:08.200 that's what you get labeled. Well, you know, inside all 2651 02:30:08.280 --> 02:30:08.959 the same. 2652 02:30:09.000 --> 02:30:12.239 When you talk about the design of these cars and 2653 02:30:12.280 --> 02:30:15.760 how we've lost so much of this around this area. 2654 02:30:15.959 --> 02:30:18.239 You know, we're not too far away from Pigeon Forge 2655 02:30:18.520 --> 02:30:20.760 and last week they just had a big classic car 2656 02:30:20.840 --> 02:30:24.120 show and that's when it really hits home. You know, 2657 02:30:24.120 --> 02:30:27.799 when you see one of these cars, which it never 2658 02:30:27.840 --> 02:30:29.799 really valued. I mean it might have just been like 2659 02:30:30.159 --> 02:30:32.840 a family sedan or something, you know, fifty years ago, 2660 02:30:33.159 --> 02:30:35.280 but you look at it, it's like, wow, that's really quirky. 2661 02:30:35.319 --> 02:30:37.719 That's kind of interesting looking. Look at those colors, you know, 2662 02:30:37.760 --> 02:30:39.559 and all the rest of this stuff. Look at the colors, 2663 02:30:39.600 --> 02:30:42.520 look at the chrome. It really is entertaining to see 2664 02:30:42.799 --> 02:30:45.600 cars that were just ordinary cars or ordinary trucks half 2665 02:30:45.680 --> 02:30:49.239 a century ago. To see them and to see how 2666 02:30:49.639 --> 02:30:52.520 different they were and how unique they all were. And 2667 02:30:52.639 --> 02:30:55.360 so it really kind of drives it home. Here in 2668 02:30:55.399 --> 02:30:58.360 the Pigeon Forge area. They have these car shows that 2669 02:30:58.440 --> 02:31:02.079 happened frequently. The big one was last weekend. They had that. 2670 02:31:02.440 --> 02:31:05.079 But you've got some articles at Eric. 2671 02:31:05.000 --> 02:31:09.520 Peters autos dot com about some of the difficulties of 2672 02:31:09.639 --> 02:31:11.200 keeping these older cars running. 2673 02:31:11.639 --> 02:31:14.120 Talk about ethanol blues. What's that about. 2674 02:31:14.520 --> 02:31:16.719 Well, yeah, you know, I have to, as the saying 2675 02:31:16.760 --> 02:31:19.719 goes in the hood, cop to something which is embarrassing 2676 02:31:19.760 --> 02:31:22.000 for me, because you know, I shouldn't all of all 2677 02:31:22.040 --> 02:31:24.440 people just should not have happened to me. But I 2678 02:31:24.479 --> 02:31:27.479 was lazy one day, this is several months back, probably 2679 02:31:27.479 --> 02:31:29.680 about eight months ago, when I was out driving my 2680 02:31:29.719 --> 02:31:32.200 old muscle car. I have a seventy six trans am 2681 02:31:32.719 --> 02:31:35.600 and rather than go all the way into town where 2682 02:31:35.639 --> 02:31:38.920 they have a station that sells unadulterated pure gasoline, which 2683 02:31:38.959 --> 02:31:40.840 is normally what I use to fill the car up 2684 02:31:40.840 --> 02:31:44.200 with because it sits sometimes for I get preoccupied with 2685 02:31:44.280 --> 02:31:47.559 work and other things. Sometimes the car, unfortunately, will sit 2686 02:31:47.639 --> 02:31:50.520 for several months before I have time to drive it. Anyway, 2687 02:31:51.000 --> 02:31:53.319 I filled it up with E ten, which is only 2688 02:31:53.399 --> 02:31:56.959 ninety percent gas and ten percent ethanol, and I left 2689 02:31:56.959 --> 02:31:59.319 it to sit, and it sat for about three months. 2690 02:31:59.360 --> 02:32:01.479 God helped me. You know, I deserve to be beaten 2691 02:32:01.520 --> 02:32:05.159 for that. Anyway, I went, I went to start it, 2692 02:32:05.360 --> 02:32:08.040 and boy, I barely got it to run, and it 2693 02:32:08.079 --> 02:32:11.520 was going, you know, smoke pouring out of it. A 2694 02:32:11.840 --> 02:32:14.239 long story short, I ended up having to take the 2695 02:32:14.280 --> 02:32:17.760 carburetor off the engine and completely disassemble it and clean 2696 02:32:17.799 --> 02:32:21.799 out the ethanol gunk inside the carburetor because the fuel 2697 02:32:21.840 --> 02:32:24.319 had gone bad over the time that I kept it 2698 02:32:24.360 --> 02:32:27.399 in storage. Basically, and you know this is a problem 2699 02:32:27.399 --> 02:32:29.239 with these older vehicles because you know, my car was 2700 02:32:29.239 --> 02:32:32.079 made in nineteen seventy six, and in nineteen seventy six, 2701 02:32:32.079 --> 02:32:34.600 when you bought gas, you actually got gas for your money, 2702 02:32:35.239 --> 02:32:38.360 hundred percent gasoline. Most people don't understand that most pomp 2703 02:32:38.479 --> 02:32:41.639 gas is ten percent ethanol alcohol. And if you own 2704 02:32:41.680 --> 02:32:45.319 a vehicle that was made before that came into being. 2705 02:32:45.920 --> 02:32:49.159 That vehicle was not designed for alcohol. Alcohol is a 2706 02:32:49.200 --> 02:32:51.920 different fuel than gasoline. It has different properties. It attracts 2707 02:32:51.959 --> 02:32:53.600 water among other things. It's corrosive. 2708 02:32:54.399 --> 02:32:57.360 Does it degrade faster than pure gasoline? Then, I guess does. 2709 02:32:57.440 --> 02:33:00.799 That's what you're saying, because pure gasoline will be as well, right, 2710 02:33:00.879 --> 02:33:02.520 but much longer period of time. 2711 02:33:03.120 --> 02:33:03.280 Yeah. 2712 02:33:03.319 --> 02:33:05.440 Anybody who has outdoor power equipment knows that the real 2713 02:33:05.479 --> 02:33:07.879 problem is if you put ethanol in a gas jugg 2714 02:33:07.920 --> 02:33:09.159 let's say, and you put it in your shed and 2715 02:33:09.239 --> 02:33:13.079 leave it, you know, it'll tend to accumulate water much 2716 02:33:13.079 --> 02:33:16.200 more rapidly than regular gasoline. And you can also look 2717 02:33:16.200 --> 02:33:17.959 at the color that change in the color, you know, 2718 02:33:18.000 --> 02:33:20.719 as it starts to go from almost translucent to sort 2719 02:33:20.719 --> 02:33:22.920 of a yellow and then a darker yellow color. And 2720 02:33:22.920 --> 02:33:24.040 that's a clue not to use it. 2721 02:33:24.079 --> 02:33:26.879 By the way, Well, that's interesting. 2722 02:33:27.079 --> 02:33:31.200 You also talk about oil and additives and the oil 2723 02:33:31.239 --> 02:33:33.280 that are different now for the older cars. 2724 02:33:33.959 --> 02:33:36.319 Oh yeah, it's not just the additives. Again. To get 2725 02:33:36.399 --> 02:33:39.000 circling back to the transam, after I cleaned out the 2726 02:33:39.040 --> 02:33:41.040 gunk from the carburetor and got it running well again, 2727 02:33:41.879 --> 02:33:44.319 I recognized, oh boy, it's time to change the oil. 2728 02:33:44.520 --> 02:33:47.399 So I went down to the autoparts store and I 2729 02:33:47.440 --> 02:33:48.959 looked at the rack of oil, and the rack of 2730 02:33:49.000 --> 02:33:51.079 oil is you know, it's the whole with the store. 2731 02:33:51.079 --> 02:33:53.120 They have all kinds of different oil, but they didn't 2732 02:33:53.159 --> 02:33:56.760 have any ten forty anymore, you know, and my car 2733 02:33:56.879 --> 02:33:59.239 when it was made was designed to have ten forty oil. 2734 02:33:59.319 --> 02:34:01.440 So that's what's specified, and that's what I use. There's 2735 02:34:01.440 --> 02:34:04.600 a reason why there's a specification, you know, and generally speaking, 2736 02:34:04.680 --> 02:34:09.520 it's sound policy to follow what the specification is. Yeah, 2737 02:34:09.680 --> 02:34:10.959 but you know, if you've been to it, if you've 2738 02:34:10.959 --> 02:34:12.719 been to a car parks store lately and looked at 2739 02:34:12.760 --> 02:34:15.440 the oil rack, you'll see all these exotic formulations, you know, 2740 02:34:15.600 --> 02:34:19.920 zero W fifty this and that because they thinned out 2741 02:34:19.959 --> 02:34:22.959 the oil because it helps with compliance. You know. This 2742 02:34:23.040 --> 02:34:27.159 is this is again, it offers the manufacturers this incremental 2743 02:34:27.200 --> 02:34:30.520 friction reduction which translates into slightly higher gas models not 2744 02:34:30.559 --> 02:34:32.920 anything you would notice as a vehicle owner, but when 2745 02:34:32.959 --> 02:34:35.239 you factor it out over say half a million vehicles 2746 02:34:35.239 --> 02:34:38.360 that you build, then it helps corporate average fuel economy 2747 02:34:38.399 --> 02:34:41.840 with the compliance with that federal requirement and it also 2748 02:34:41.840 --> 02:34:43.879 helps with emissions. And you know, this is the obsession 2749 02:34:43.879 --> 02:34:48.520 now that the manufacturers have it's compliance. Their primary customer 2750 02:34:48.600 --> 02:34:51.120 now is the government, not you. You know, you're sort 2751 02:34:51.120 --> 02:34:53.319 of an incidental person. I'm starting to buy what the 2752 02:34:53.360 --> 02:34:55.159 government says you're allowed to have. 2753 02:34:55.319 --> 02:34:57.360 That's right, that's right because the government and put them 2754 02:34:57.360 --> 02:35:00.040 out of business if they don't please the government. And 2755 02:35:00.239 --> 02:35:02.879 so that is their primary customer. In so many cases, 2756 02:35:03.280 --> 02:35:05.639 the only customer that they care about is the government. 2757 02:35:05.719 --> 02:35:08.639 That's really what's going on with social media and with YouTube, 2758 02:35:08.639 --> 02:35:10.600 I think, isn't it? 2759 02:35:10.600 --> 02:35:10.920 It is? 2760 02:35:10.959 --> 02:35:13.200 And so long story short, I ended up having to 2761 02:35:13.200 --> 02:35:16.760 go online to find a good, high quality ten forty 2762 02:35:16.760 --> 02:35:19.440 for my old muscle car. Now, previously I'd also had 2763 02:35:19.440 --> 02:35:22.319 to go online to get there's an additive. It generally 2764 02:35:22.559 --> 02:35:25.959 it goes by the acronym ZDDP, and it's essentially a 2765 02:35:26.079 --> 02:35:29.479 zinc manganese additive, and it used to be present in 2766 02:35:29.559 --> 02:35:32.600 all the store bought motor oils, but they began to 2767 02:35:32.639 --> 02:35:35.559 take it out and now there's a much less of 2768 02:35:35.600 --> 02:35:38.280 that additive in store bought motor oil. If you have 2769 02:35:38.319 --> 02:35:40.399 a new or late model vehicle, it doesn't matter the 2770 02:35:40.399 --> 02:35:42.319 engine was designed for that. But if you have an 2771 02:35:42.319 --> 02:35:45.559 older vehicle, particularly an older American vehicle with what's called 2772 02:35:45.600 --> 02:35:49.360 a flat tap at camshaft, so essentially an American car 2773 02:35:49.399 --> 02:35:51.479 made before the early eighties with a V eight engine, 2774 02:35:51.479 --> 02:35:54.920 typically it's important that you use that additive. And if 2775 02:35:54.920 --> 02:35:56.280 you're going to be somebody to go, if you're going 2776 02:35:56.280 --> 02:35:57.840 to go out and buy one of those classic cars 2777 02:35:57.840 --> 02:36:00.000 from that era, it's something to be aware of because 2778 02:36:00.040 --> 02:36:02.840 if you don't use that additive, you risk valve train failure. 2779 02:36:03.479 --> 02:36:07.440 Those the camshaft and lifters in those engines were designed 2780 02:36:07.680 --> 02:36:09.799 to have that anti friction additive in it, and if 2781 02:36:09.799 --> 02:36:12.520 you use regular oil, you're very likely to have a 2782 02:36:12.559 --> 02:36:13.879 problem that you don't want to have. 2783 02:36:14.639 --> 02:36:18.040 What about the aftermarket, Let's say that you have some 2784 02:36:18.600 --> 02:36:20.760 problems because you didn't have the right oil and fuel 2785 02:36:20.799 --> 02:36:24.680 and things like that. How difficult is it to get 2786 02:36:25.200 --> 02:36:28.120 parts for these things? I'm sure it varies depending on 2787 02:36:28.200 --> 02:36:32.079 how rare your car is, but just something's kind of 2788 02:36:33.280 --> 02:36:35.120 in the middle or something maybe like a you know, 2789 02:36:35.440 --> 02:36:38.440 a fifties Chevy or something like that, is it really diffinitely? 2790 02:36:38.479 --> 02:36:41.239 Do they have much of an aftermarket for parts with that? 2791 02:36:42.559 --> 02:36:45.760 Yeah? Particularly with mechanical things. One of the great pluses 2792 02:36:45.799 --> 02:36:48.319 of owning, say a General Motors product or forward product 2793 02:36:48.360 --> 02:36:52.120 from that era is that they shared mechanical things. 2794 02:36:52.239 --> 02:36:52.600 Engines. 2795 02:36:52.639 --> 02:36:54.159 You know, an engine like a small block Chevy was 2796 02:36:54.200 --> 02:36:58.440 used in practically every model vehicle that Chevrolet made, you know, 2797 02:36:58.440 --> 02:37:00.959 from the fifties through the sixties, seven and eighties, and 2798 02:37:01.040 --> 02:37:04.879 so there is a robust and abundant aftermarket as well 2799 02:37:04.879 --> 02:37:07.680 as used market for those kinds of parts. You'll have 2800 02:37:07.719 --> 02:37:11.280 sometimes difficulty finding trim pieces, you know, for an automall 2801 02:37:11.360 --> 02:37:13.799 make you know, say it was a one year vehicle 2802 02:37:13.799 --> 02:37:15.920 where they only had that that that grill for that 2803 02:37:16.000 --> 02:37:18.120 one year. I have that issue because my seventy pix 2804 02:37:18.239 --> 02:37:20.120 is a unique front end for that for that year. 2805 02:37:20.520 --> 02:37:22.879 So yeah, sometimes, you know, these cosmetic parts will be 2806 02:37:22.879 --> 02:37:25.159 more difficult to find. But generally, if you pick a 2807 02:37:25.239 --> 02:37:28.399 popular vehicle that was made in large numbers from that era, 2808 02:37:28.840 --> 02:37:31.239 you're not going to have any difficulty finding the necessary 2809 02:37:31.239 --> 02:37:33.680 parts that you have to have in order to keep 2810 02:37:33.680 --> 02:37:35.479 the vehicle serviceable and running. 2811 02:37:35.879 --> 02:37:38.399 That's interesting, Yeah, because I guess I'd certainly do see 2812 02:37:38.399 --> 02:37:40.719 a lot of classic cars right here. Yeah, I guess 2813 02:37:40.719 --> 02:37:43.319 if you had an edsul and you got your horse collar. 2814 02:37:43.200 --> 02:37:48.680 A grill, you can keep that going. One of the 2815 02:37:48.680 --> 02:37:50.959 great examples of Volkswagen Beetle. You know, to this day 2816 02:37:51.000 --> 02:37:52.879 you can easily find any part that you need to 2817 02:37:52.959 --> 02:37:56.000 keep a Beetle running. So you know, that's a great 2818 02:37:56.079 --> 02:37:59.760 choice if you just want a very basic, simple, completely analog, 2819 02:37:59.840 --> 02:38:03.840 not non digital, non data mining, non connected car that 2820 02:38:04.000 --> 02:38:06.760 anybody could service. If they're willing to turn a screw 2821 02:38:06.840 --> 02:38:09.200 driver or a wrench and have basic hand tools, that's 2822 02:38:09.200 --> 02:38:10.040 a great choice. 2823 02:38:10.159 --> 02:38:13.639 Yeah, yeah, I know. There's a huge aftermarket for the Mazas, 2824 02:38:13.760 --> 02:38:16.719 especially the first generation of Mazda that's out there. They're 2825 02:38:16.760 --> 02:38:20.040 even doing full restorations, or at least were for a 2826 02:38:20.079 --> 02:38:21.319 short period of time. I don't know if they are 2827 02:38:21.319 --> 02:38:23.000 still doing it now. It's a couple of years ago. 2828 02:38:23.399 --> 02:38:28.559 They're doing full factory spec restorations in Japan. They would 2829 02:38:28.600 --> 02:38:32.120 do it in Japan, and the factory itself was doing it. 2830 02:38:32.200 --> 02:38:33.760 Mazda was doing it. I don't know if they're still 2831 02:38:33.760 --> 02:38:36.520 doing that or not. Now you got an article and 2832 02:38:36.559 --> 02:38:39.600 I'm reaching back now. At the beginning of August, Pontiacs 2833 02:38:39.600 --> 02:38:42.600 were cool. I thought they were as well. I was 2834 02:38:42.639 --> 02:38:44.840 just so amazed that when they decided they're going to 2835 02:38:44.840 --> 02:38:49.200 get rid of an entire make that they kept Buick 2836 02:38:49.239 --> 02:38:51.719 and got rid of Pontiac. I thought that was really 2837 02:38:51.719 --> 02:38:55.280 strange because Puick was always perceived as kind of an 2838 02:38:55.319 --> 02:38:58.959 older person's car, or it was a family car something 2839 02:38:59.000 --> 02:39:02.440 like that, where as Pontiac's had kind of a sporty 2840 02:39:02.520 --> 02:39:03.479 panache to them. 2841 02:39:03.559 --> 02:39:07.360 Right, yep, well there's a reason for that. For whatever reason, 2842 02:39:07.399 --> 02:39:10.120 Buicks are immensely popular in China, and that's where they're 2843 02:39:10.680 --> 02:39:12.879 believe it or not, GM sells a ton of Buicks 2844 02:39:12.920 --> 02:39:15.200 in China, where it's considered kind of a status vehicle 2845 02:39:15.479 --> 02:39:18.799 to have, and all the pus they sell here are 2846 02:39:18.840 --> 02:39:19.559 made in China. 2847 02:39:20.360 --> 02:39:22.719 Is that right? Now? We used to use Buick. 2848 02:39:22.760 --> 02:39:25.600 We used that as a new finism for throwing up, 2849 02:39:26.520 --> 02:39:28.479 someone says in the bathroom selling Buick's. 2850 02:39:29.079 --> 02:39:29.239 Now. 2851 02:39:29.280 --> 02:39:31.600 What's really sad though, with regard to Pontiac and Pontiac's 2852 02:39:31.639 --> 02:39:34.479 just one example of many, is that you had a 2853 02:39:34.600 --> 02:39:38.000 once distinctive brand. And in fact, Pontiac actually was literally 2854 02:39:38.120 --> 02:39:40.600 a car company at one time. It wasn't a marketing company. 2855 02:39:41.000 --> 02:39:44.559 It actually had an engineering staff and they engineered their engines, 2856 02:39:44.559 --> 02:39:46.799 which were different than Chevy engines, so when you bought 2857 02:39:46.840 --> 02:39:50.399 a Pontiac, you weren't just buying a rebadge Chevy. There 2858 02:39:50.440 --> 02:39:52.879 may have been commonality of the underlying platform, but it 2859 02:39:52.920 --> 02:39:55.760 was a fundamentally different car. I'll again refer to my 2860 02:39:55.760 --> 02:39:58.840 own car. A seventy six Pontiac trans Am is a 2861 02:39:58.920 --> 02:40:02.159 very different car than a seventy six Camaro. Even though 2862 02:40:02.159 --> 02:40:04.959 they share a common underthing, their drive frames are different, 2863 02:40:05.319 --> 02:40:07.520 and that makes it worth buying the Pontiac. 2864 02:40:07.600 --> 02:40:07.719 You know. 2865 02:40:07.760 --> 02:40:10.120 It's not not that one's better or worse. It's simply 2866 02:40:10.159 --> 02:40:14.200 that it is different. And GM actually allowed Pontiac for 2867 02:40:14.239 --> 02:40:16.680 a great deal of time to be sort of the 2868 02:40:16.799 --> 02:40:20.239 raucous uh you know, go get them brand. You know 2869 02:40:20.280 --> 02:40:24.959 that that had had performance and style and attitude kind 2870 02:40:24.959 --> 02:40:28.079 of like what Dodge was before Stilantis ruined everything. Yeah, 2871 02:40:28.120 --> 02:40:31.319 you know, Uh, they just had this great reputation for 2872 02:40:31.639 --> 02:40:34.479 you know, not just crude muscle cars, but cool muscle cars. 2873 02:40:34.479 --> 02:40:37.239 It had some panastu them, you know, like Catalinas and 2874 02:40:37.600 --> 02:40:40.600 Grand Prixs and of course GTOs and everything, which were 2875 02:40:40.600 --> 02:40:42.799 a little bit more refined than say something like a 2876 02:40:42.879 --> 02:40:45.360 Chevelle ass which is a great car, but it's it's 2877 02:40:45.440 --> 02:40:46.639 not the same thing as a. 2878 02:40:46.600 --> 02:40:50.079 Gto right right, yeah, yeah, And they just. 2879 02:40:50.200 --> 02:40:51.799 Hollowed all of this out. And this was, by the way, 2880 02:40:51.840 --> 02:40:55.799 I think the first wave of casualties from compliance. The 2881 02:40:55.879 --> 02:40:59.719 reason that Pontiac ended up dying was because General Motors 2882 02:40:59.719 --> 02:41:02.600 was on enormous pressure to try to figure out how 2883 02:41:02.600 --> 02:41:05.799 to get these different brands Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, all their 2884 02:41:05.840 --> 02:41:08.680 different divisions that had different engines. Each one of those 2885 02:41:08.680 --> 02:41:12.440 engines had to be certified independently by the federal government 2886 02:41:12.479 --> 02:41:16.280 as being in compliance with the stuff. That costs a 2887 02:41:16.319 --> 02:41:18.840 lot of money. So General Members made the decision, well, 2888 02:41:18.840 --> 02:41:21.719 what we're going to do is corporatize. We're going to 2889 02:41:21.760 --> 02:41:24.840 just put Chevrolet built engines in pretty much everything that 2890 02:41:24.879 --> 02:41:28.200 we sell. They did this beginning in the eighties, and 2891 02:41:28.239 --> 02:41:30.600 that way they only had to certify the Chevrolet engine, 2892 02:41:30.639 --> 02:41:32.559 which they could put in a Pontiac and a Buick 2893 02:41:32.559 --> 02:41:34.799 in an Oldsmobile, which is what they did. But by 2894 02:41:34.840 --> 02:41:38.000 doing that, they just gutted any reason for having a 2895 02:41:38.040 --> 02:41:41.040 Pontiac or an Oldsmobile or even a Buick. It's all 2896 02:41:41.040 --> 02:41:43.840 you're getting is a Reskin Chevy with the identical drive train. 2897 02:41:44.399 --> 02:41:45.079 Oh and over again. 2898 02:41:45.120 --> 02:41:47.479 I tell people, you know, the real problem with industry 2899 02:41:47.479 --> 02:41:51.360 and manufacturing and innovation in the United States is the government. 2900 02:41:51.520 --> 02:41:55.719 They are the biggest obstacle. They are far more destructive 2901 02:41:56.399 --> 02:42:02.600 of jobs and manufacturing than any company abroad or any 2902 02:42:02.680 --> 02:42:06.440 country abroad. All this stuff about tariffs is a misdirection 2903 02:42:06.520 --> 02:42:09.559 away from the true source of the problem, which is 2904 02:42:09.639 --> 02:42:13.639 government regulation. And even when they're talking about the housing crisis, 2905 02:42:14.600 --> 02:42:18.040 some people are talking about how expensive houses have become 2906 02:42:18.120 --> 02:42:21.239 because of government regulation. But the government's not talking about 2907 02:42:21.280 --> 02:42:24.399 doing anything that. They're talking about playing some financialization games 2908 02:42:24.719 --> 02:42:27.479 in terms of interest rates or subsidies or this or that, 2909 02:42:27.760 --> 02:42:30.840 but they're not going to do anything about the overregulation 2910 02:42:31.399 --> 02:42:34.159 and all the green mandates that are there. Trump will 2911 02:42:34.200 --> 02:42:36.639 go the UN and you'll say, you're destroying your country 2912 02:42:36.680 --> 02:42:39.399 with all this green stuff and everything, but he won't 2913 02:42:39.399 --> 02:42:43.239 take those regulations off of cars or homes. So we 2914 02:42:43.280 --> 02:42:45.239 can't have nice things anymore. 2915 02:42:45.520 --> 02:42:49.159 That's correct. We have become as a culture so habituated 2916 02:42:49.520 --> 02:42:52.399 to the government being involved in these things, and really, 2917 02:42:52.479 --> 02:42:55.079 I think that's the bone of the matter. Why is 2918 02:42:55.120 --> 02:42:56.760 the government involved in car design? 2919 02:42:57.079 --> 02:42:57.280 Yeah? 2920 02:42:57.319 --> 02:42:59.680 You know, a good example of this is you know 2921 02:42:59.719 --> 02:43:01.440 the whole. I wrote an article about Ralph Nader a 2922 02:43:01.479 --> 02:43:03.879 couple of weeks ago and the core of Air and 2923 02:43:03.959 --> 02:43:06.200 his allegations about the core of air being unsafe. This 2924 02:43:06.239 --> 02:43:08.479 doesn't matter for the courts. If the car is unsafe 2925 02:43:08.479 --> 02:43:10.959 and effective in some way that can be handled in 2926 02:43:11.000 --> 02:43:13.399 tort claims. That's the way these things ought to be handled, 2927 02:43:13.399 --> 02:43:16.000 instead of this broad brush, one size fits all of 2928 02:43:16.040 --> 02:43:19.040 the federal government decreem. You know, you will have this 2929 02:43:19.120 --> 02:43:21.920 particular safety standard, and it doesn't matter what you know, 2930 02:43:21.959 --> 02:43:24.760 what side effects that safety standard has, even if it 2931 02:43:24.840 --> 02:43:27.319 ends up being less safe. Good example of that being 2932 02:43:27.559 --> 02:43:31.120 in the mid seventies they imposed a roof crush standard 2933 02:43:31.200 --> 02:43:32.879 on the industry. You know, the vehicle had to be 2934 02:43:32.879 --> 02:43:34.840 able to support the weight of the vehicle that it 2935 02:43:34.959 --> 02:43:37.639 got turned upside down. So as a result of that, 2936 02:43:37.959 --> 02:43:40.760 you got these gigantic A, B and C pillars. Those 2937 02:43:40.799 --> 02:43:42.680 are the things that support the roof. The A pillars 2938 02:43:42.680 --> 02:43:45.159 at the basic shield be in the middle and C 2939 02:43:45.360 --> 02:43:47.879 in the back instead of being you know, these these 2940 02:43:48.000 --> 02:43:50.440 in and graceful things that you could easily look around 2941 02:43:50.440 --> 02:43:53.200 and you had this expansive view of the outside world 2942 02:43:53.280 --> 02:43:56.520 around you. Now you're essentially in a tank. You know, 2943 02:43:56.879 --> 02:43:59.319 I drive new cars all the time. Feels like you're 2944 02:43:59.360 --> 02:44:02.639 in a tank. You have essentially no visibility, often to 2945 02:44:02.680 --> 02:44:05.040 the right and to the left because of this enormous 2946 02:44:05.079 --> 02:44:07.079 B pillar that's there to support the weight of the 2947 02:44:07.159 --> 02:44:09.479 vehicle if you roll it over. The problem is now 2948 02:44:09.520 --> 02:44:11.360 when you pull out from a side street, you're likely 2949 02:44:11.399 --> 02:44:15.239 to get t boned because that thing is created that 2950 02:44:15.399 --> 02:44:17.559 blind spot. You didn't see the car that was coming 2951 02:44:17.600 --> 02:44:18.479 at you from the side. 2952 02:44:18.760 --> 02:44:20.239 That's right, Yeah, I agree. 2953 02:44:20.879 --> 02:44:23.280 You know, how did we wind up still being able 2954 02:44:23.280 --> 02:44:26.479 to keep convertibles with that? I know I've got on 2955 02:44:26.600 --> 02:44:27.280 my convertibles. 2956 02:44:27.319 --> 02:44:29.639 I got some really huge A pillars on them, but. 2957 02:44:29.879 --> 02:44:32.200 Very cleverly, like you know, with regard to some of them. 2958 02:44:32.479 --> 02:44:34.280 You know, with Maza in the audi As, you know, they 2959 02:44:34.399 --> 02:44:36.639 built a roll bar into the backs of the seats. Basically, 2960 02:44:36.719 --> 02:44:39.239 that was one way that they did it, and some 2961 02:44:39.319 --> 02:44:41.440 of the manufacturers took that a step farther with pop 2962 02:44:41.559 --> 02:44:43.520 up roll bars. You know, Mercedes did that with some 2963 02:44:43.559 --> 02:44:47.639 of their highest vertibles, and they also managed to reinforce 2964 02:44:47.680 --> 02:44:50.639 the structure of the windshield in a way that made 2965 02:44:50.639 --> 02:44:53.239 it supportive of the vehicle if it were to roll over. 2966 02:44:54.639 --> 02:44:56.760 But you know, it's it's just the point is, the 2967 02:44:56.799 --> 02:45:02.040 government's involvement in this stuff is just so insufferably obnoxious. 2968 02:45:01.840 --> 02:45:03.840 And to put a finer point on it, you know, 2969 02:45:03.879 --> 02:45:05.920 we talk about the government as if it's sort of 2970 02:45:05.959 --> 02:45:08.440 this entity out there, and I like to I like 2971 02:45:08.479 --> 02:45:10.120 to point out to be what you're really talking about 2972 02:45:10.200 --> 02:45:14.120 is a relative handful of micromanaging bureaucrats who are the 2973 02:45:14.159 --> 02:45:17.159 weavils within these regulatory bodies. You know, go to the 2974 02:45:17.239 --> 02:45:19.600 dot or its how many people work there? A few thousand. 2975 02:45:19.920 --> 02:45:22.520 So you've got a few thousand people in these regulatory 2976 02:45:22.559 --> 02:45:26.159 bodies who are dictating to three hundred and thirty million people, 2977 02:45:26.639 --> 02:45:28.799 you know, the design of the cars that they're allowed 2978 02:45:28.799 --> 02:45:29.040 to have. 2979 02:45:30.079 --> 02:45:33.200 Yeah, exactly right. I just you know, and we have 2980 02:45:33.239 --> 02:45:37.040 spinalless politicians who let the bureaucrats rule over us and 2981 02:45:37.079 --> 02:45:38.920 never do anything to push back against them. 2982 02:45:39.520 --> 02:45:41.360 And that's my design. You know, they've af floaded this. 2983 02:45:41.440 --> 02:45:44.559 They'll say Congress in particular, they'll say, well, I can't 2984 02:45:44.559 --> 02:45:46.879 do anything about it, because you know, the bureaucracy is 2985 02:45:47.520 --> 02:45:50.639 responsible for this, right, You're the ones that offloaded their 2986 02:45:50.639 --> 02:45:54.879 responsibility under the constitution to legislate. You know, there's legislation 2987 02:45:54.959 --> 02:45:57.920 and there's regulation, and regulation has the force and effect 2988 02:45:58.000 --> 02:46:02.079 of law. Yet it's not voted for. Cheans accountability. You know, 2989 02:46:02.120 --> 02:46:04.639 you can't out you can't vote out of office an 2990 02:46:04.639 --> 02:46:06.000 EPA apparature. 2991 02:46:06.200 --> 02:46:08.840 You know, they claim that they're not responsible for it, 2992 02:46:08.840 --> 02:46:11.440 even though, as you point out, they delegate this to them. 2993 02:46:11.879 --> 02:46:14.079 Then you know, something gets really bad and there's a 2994 02:46:14.159 --> 02:46:17.559 huge outroar uproar about that, then they can come in 2995 02:46:17.639 --> 02:46:20.520 and say, uh, okay, we're going to save you from 2996 02:46:20.559 --> 02:46:21.280 these bad. 2997 02:46:21.040 --> 02:46:25.479 Guys, the regulator. So it's a very calculated political ploy, 2998 02:46:25.600 --> 02:46:27.319 isn't it. And I think we got do We have 2999 02:46:27.360 --> 02:46:29.079 a couple of comments of questions for him. 3000 02:46:29.680 --> 02:46:33.040 Good to talk to you here got citizen driver Tocaca 3001 02:46:33.200 --> 02:46:34.399 says Eric. 3002 02:46:34.600 --> 02:46:35.799 Would he'd like you to speak on. 3003 02:46:35.799 --> 02:46:37.840 The fact they're trying to pass legislation so you'll be 3004 02:46:37.879 --> 02:46:40.959 able to ensure a car that's over twenty five years old, 3005 02:46:41.280 --> 02:46:43.600 which is just utterly ridiculous because of course we know 3006 02:46:43.680 --> 02:46:46.600 that twenty five years ago all calls cars were death traps. 3007 02:46:46.639 --> 02:46:48.040 People were dying left and right. 3008 02:46:48.159 --> 02:46:50.479 It's only within the past few years that the cars 3009 02:46:50.479 --> 02:46:52.399 have become safe at all and people can drive him 3010 02:46:52.399 --> 02:46:53.799 without living in constant fear. 3011 02:46:54.200 --> 02:46:54.440 Yeah. 3012 02:46:54.520 --> 02:46:59.520 And on that same line, Eric, California just you know, 3013 02:46:59.559 --> 02:47:02.639 they wanted to missions. I think that they had there 3014 02:47:02.680 --> 02:47:05.200 and it was like a thirty five year moving average 3015 02:47:05.239 --> 02:47:08.760 and they were trying to adjust that a little bit 3016 02:47:08.840 --> 02:47:11.200 and they shut it down. It's this huge blow. It's 3017 02:47:11.280 --> 02:47:13.440 Jay Leno's law. Maybe you heard about that. 3018 02:47:13.559 --> 02:47:17.159 Purely, purely punitive and vindictive. Yeah, Leno I think learned 3019 02:47:17.159 --> 02:47:20.120 a valuable lesson. I think, in his innocence might have 3020 02:47:20.159 --> 02:47:24.719 believed that rational considerations and reasonable considerations might cause the 3021 02:47:24.760 --> 02:47:28.840 California legislature and regulatory apparat to agree that, yeah, you know, 3022 02:47:28.959 --> 02:47:32.719 vehicles that are thirty five years old are constitute a 3023 02:47:32.799 --> 02:47:35.920 very small minority of the vehicles that are in use 3024 02:47:36.159 --> 02:47:40.440 as daily transportation, and so yeah, we'll exempt them, as 3025 02:47:40.440 --> 02:47:43.840 most states do, from having to go in from emissions testing. 3026 02:47:44.559 --> 02:47:46.600 This is purely punitive because they want to push these 3027 02:47:46.639 --> 02:47:50.440 cars off the road. And it's particularly egregious in California 3028 02:47:50.440 --> 02:47:53.040 because it's not even a matter of whether you pass 3029 02:47:53.120 --> 02:47:55.440 the tailpipe sniffer test, you know, when you bring your 3030 02:47:55.440 --> 02:47:57.440 car into the inspection station and they put the probe 3031 02:47:57.440 --> 02:48:01.040 in the tailplay and in most states, if it passes that, 3032 02:48:01.079 --> 02:48:04.040 you pass and you get your sticker. In California, doesn't 3033 02:48:04.040 --> 02:48:07.079 matter whether you pass the tailpipe sniffer test if any 3034 02:48:07.120 --> 02:48:10.360 of the factory original emissions equipment has been tampered with, 3035 02:48:10.520 --> 02:48:12.760 altered or removed. Now what that means. You're talking about 3036 02:48:12.760 --> 02:48:14.159 the thirty five year old car, or how about a 3037 02:48:14.159 --> 02:48:17.360 fifty year old car, and maybe the original smog pump 3038 02:48:17.479 --> 02:48:20.079 or EGR system had to be replaced because it's a 3039 02:48:20.120 --> 02:48:22.600 thirty five year old vehicle. Thirty five year old? Well 3040 02:48:22.719 --> 02:48:25.159 what if there is no aftermarket replacement? And more finally, 3041 02:48:25.159 --> 02:48:28.920 in California, every aftermarket replacement has to have a California 3042 02:48:29.000 --> 02:48:33.120 Air Resources Board number, a certification that it's been approved 3043 02:48:33.159 --> 02:48:35.479 by CAR. So if it doesn't have that, even if 3044 02:48:35.520 --> 02:48:38.159 everything works, and even if the emissions are with inspect, 3045 02:48:38.360 --> 02:48:40.879 they will still fail the vehicle on the basis of 3046 02:48:40.920 --> 02:48:44.360 failing the visual and not having the CARB approved replacement part. 3047 02:48:44.680 --> 02:48:48.159 So this is purely, purely punitive and vindictive. And I 3048 02:48:48.200 --> 02:48:51.600 do see this sort of thing expanding. You know, they're 3049 02:48:51.600 --> 02:48:53.879 going to start targeting cars and they're going to say 3050 02:48:54.120 --> 02:48:57.079 we can't permit vehicles that don't have the latest advanced 3051 02:48:57.120 --> 02:49:00.639 driver assistance technology to be on the road, you know, 3052 02:49:00.680 --> 02:49:02.840 because of the threat that they present and the people 3053 02:49:02.879 --> 02:49:04.399 are going to die. That's the sort of thing that 3054 02:49:04.440 --> 02:49:05.959 I foresee that they're going to start doing in the 3055 02:49:06.040 --> 02:49:06.760 next few years. 3056 02:49:06.920 --> 02:49:09.719 Oh yeah, yeah. And it's kind of interesting too because 3057 02:49:09.920 --> 02:49:13.639 when I was doing modifications to Mamiada about seven years ago, 3058 02:49:14.479 --> 02:49:17.120 the companies I was getting the aftermarket parts on which 3059 02:49:17.120 --> 02:49:20.200 were taking those parts that you just mentioned and pitching 3060 02:49:20.239 --> 02:49:24.159 them completely. But they were based in California, and I thought, 3061 02:49:24.159 --> 02:49:26.159 you know, this is kind of interesting. They can't sell 3062 02:49:26.200 --> 02:49:29.040 their own product. Even at that time, many of their 3063 02:49:29.079 --> 02:49:31.559 things were not CARB compliant and they couldn't sell them 3064 02:49:31.959 --> 02:49:34.799 and two people who lived in California only to people 3065 02:49:34.799 --> 02:49:36.280 who lived outside of California. 3066 02:49:36.680 --> 02:49:39.239 But it's getting much much worse, you know. 3067 02:49:39.440 --> 02:49:39.559 You know. 3068 02:49:39.680 --> 02:49:42.120 Common thread that runs through all of this is that 3069 02:49:42.200 --> 02:49:47.559 there's no requirement that tangible harm be produced, in other words, 3070 02:49:47.600 --> 02:49:50.479 a victim. A really fine example of this is the 3071 02:49:50.520 --> 02:49:53.959 crucification of Volkswagen, and I revisited that issue recently in 3072 02:49:53.959 --> 02:49:56.760 a column. It's been about ten years now since Volkswagen 3073 02:49:56.760 --> 02:49:59.959 got raked over the coals for cheating on federal emission 3074 02:50:00.079 --> 02:50:03.440 certification tests. And you know, at the time and even 3075 02:50:03.440 --> 02:50:05.520 to this day, I continue to ask, well, who was 3076 02:50:05.600 --> 02:50:07.840 hurt by any of this? All the The only thing 3077 02:50:07.879 --> 02:50:10.959 that happened was that the government was affronted. You know, Volkswagen, 3078 02:50:11.280 --> 02:50:14.920 like every other vehicle manufacturer, programmed its vehicles to pass 3079 02:50:15.000 --> 02:50:17.680 the test. That's the whole point. They made it so 3080 02:50:17.680 --> 02:50:19.520 they would pass that. And not only this is an 3081 02:50:19.559 --> 02:50:23.840 important point, not just the federal emission certification test. Nobody 3082 02:50:23.879 --> 02:50:26.399 ever disputed these vehicles when they were bought and put 3083 02:50:26.479 --> 02:50:28.600 into service and in states where people had to go 3084 02:50:28.639 --> 02:50:30.520 to get emissions testing, you know, at the state level, 3085 02:50:30.520 --> 02:50:32.799 and get the tailpipe probe put in, they all passed. 3086 02:50:33.319 --> 02:50:38.360 The only kerfluffle happened after this independent lab subjected the 3087 02:50:38.399 --> 02:50:42.120 cars to an entirely different test that found that, under 3088 02:50:42.159 --> 02:50:45.600 certain operating conditions, oh my gosh, the vehicle will emit 3089 02:50:45.680 --> 02:50:49.959 slightly higher, fractionally higher amounts of oxides of nitrogen, which 3090 02:50:50.000 --> 02:50:54.200 is a regulated emission for EPA. And the amount was minuscule. 3091 02:50:54.239 --> 02:50:57.159 It was literally a fraction of a fraction, in other words, 3092 02:50:57.200 --> 02:50:59.959 something that was meaningless in terms of whether it was 3093 02:51:00.200 --> 02:51:01.760 hurting anybody, it didn't matter. 3094 02:51:01.879 --> 02:51:04.120 It was so draconian. You and I talked about this 3095 02:51:04.159 --> 02:51:07.120 many times. It was so draconian that it was clear 3096 02:51:07.239 --> 02:51:09.479 that it wasn't about what they said it was about. 3097 02:51:09.680 --> 02:51:12.719 It was really about, as we said, getting rid of diesel. 3098 02:51:12.959 --> 02:51:15.959 I mean, they had criminal charges against executives. It was 3099 02:51:15.959 --> 02:51:19.000 something like four billion dollars if I remember correctly. It 3100 02:51:19.000 --> 02:51:21.079 was outrageous what they were doing. And we talked about that, 3101 02:51:21.200 --> 02:51:23.399 how you didn't see anything at all like that with 3102 02:51:23.479 --> 02:51:27.000 the Takata airbags that were blowing up spontaneously and killing people, 3103 02:51:27.479 --> 02:51:32.840 or with the pinto you know, and the deliberate exclusion 3104 02:51:32.879 --> 02:51:35.959 of some devices that would keep that explosion from happening. 3105 02:51:36.760 --> 02:51:39.079 So it was something that we've never seen before. Even 3106 02:51:39.120 --> 02:51:42.159 when human lives were at staken, there was nobody that 3107 02:51:42.280 --> 02:51:44.079 was harmed by any of this stuff. 3108 02:51:44.639 --> 02:51:47.479 Well, the reason why they did it, though, it wasn't 3109 02:51:47.559 --> 02:51:51.079 just that it was diesel. It was that Volkswagen uniquely 3110 02:51:51.479 --> 02:51:55.159 was selling a lineup of very affordable diesels as some 3111 02:51:55.399 --> 02:51:57.479 as twenty fifteen. You know, it's ten years ago. Not 3112 02:51:57.559 --> 02:52:00.399 even you could have bought a brand new Volkswagen jetto 3113 02:52:00.440 --> 02:52:02.959 with a TDI engine for about twenty two thousand dollars. 3114 02:52:03.399 --> 02:52:05.760 Now that whole car had a seven hundred mile driving 3115 02:52:05.879 --> 02:52:08.120 range and would get fifty plus miles per gallon on 3116 02:52:08.159 --> 02:52:10.600 the highway and could probably be counted on to go 3117 02:52:10.680 --> 02:52:14.000 for three hundred thousand miles or more. Now, it's a 3118 02:52:14.079 --> 02:52:16.760 curious coincidence, isn't it that around the same time the 3119 02:52:16.840 --> 02:52:20.479 Volkswagen started getting raped over the coals over this emissions 3120 02:52:20.559 --> 02:52:23.680 cheating thing. That's when the big push for evs began 3121 02:52:23.840 --> 02:52:27.120 right around that time, around twenty thirteen. And I think 3122 02:52:27.200 --> 02:52:29.239 the reason that they went after Volkswagen was because they 3123 02:52:29.280 --> 02:52:32.360 could not abide the comparison. You know, on the one hand, 3124 02:52:32.440 --> 02:52:35.440 twenty two thousand dollars Jetta TDI seven hundred mile range, 3125 02:52:35.479 --> 02:52:38.239 refill it in three minutes, keep it for twenty years, 3126 02:52:38.319 --> 02:52:40.799 drive it for three hundred thousand miles. On the other hand, 3127 02:52:40.959 --> 02:52:44.079 Tesla Model three, fifty thousand dollars car that goes maybe 3128 02:52:44.079 --> 02:52:46.600 two hundred and seventy miles and is going to need 3129 02:52:46.639 --> 02:52:49.680 a new fifteen thousand dollars battery after eight years, it 3130 02:52:49.840 --> 02:52:52.000 just would have been a harder sell. So they had 3131 02:52:52.000 --> 02:52:54.520 to go after Volkswagen. I think, you know, if Volkswagen 3132 02:52:54.520 --> 02:52:57.559 had continued making engines like that, other manufacturers would have 3133 02:52:57.600 --> 02:53:00.559 started to do the same. In fact, Chevy did. Chevy Lady, 3134 02:53:00.840 --> 02:53:03.280 you could get a Malibu diesel for a little while there, 3135 02:53:03.280 --> 02:53:05.520 and other manufacturers would have done it because it's appealing. 3136 02:53:05.920 --> 02:53:08.239 I mean, I like the idea of a brand new 3137 02:53:08.239 --> 02:53:10.479 twenty two thousand dollars car that gets fifty something miles 3138 02:53:10.520 --> 02:53:13.399 per galland seven hundred miles. You know, diesel is great. 3139 02:53:13.680 --> 02:53:16.079 You know, it's a wonderful option for people who want 3140 02:53:16.280 --> 02:53:20.159 a durable, long legged, long lived vehicle. So naturally they 3141 02:53:20.159 --> 02:53:21.319 had to take that away from us. 3142 02:53:21.639 --> 02:53:24.319 Yeah, checked all the boxes in terms of competition with 3143 02:53:24.319 --> 02:53:29.760 the electric vehicles. As you point out, is that durability, reliability, affordability, range, 3144 02:53:29.920 --> 02:53:30.639 It was all there. 3145 02:53:31.520 --> 02:53:33.399 So I had to go, It really had to go. 3146 02:53:33.760 --> 02:53:36.079 They've got an agenda and they don't want you to 3147 02:53:36.159 --> 02:53:38.159 have something that you can afford. They don't want you 3148 02:53:38.760 --> 02:53:40.959 to have a long range because they want to keep 3149 02:53:41.000 --> 02:53:44.239 you on a short rope with they're smart city and 3150 02:53:44.319 --> 02:53:47.200 they're probably geo fencing to make sure that you can't 3151 02:53:47.200 --> 02:53:50.479 buy anything outside of your approved city and that type 3152 02:53:50.520 --> 02:53:50.799 of thing. 3153 02:53:51.120 --> 02:53:54.360 It's just amazing, really it's a really important thing for 3154 02:53:54.399 --> 02:53:57.120 people to understand, and it's a difficult thing to understand 3155 02:53:57.120 --> 02:53:59.760 because the undercurrent of malevolence that's there is difficult for 3156 02:54:00.159 --> 02:54:04.040 people to come to grips with. But it's almost axiomatic. 3157 02:54:04.079 --> 02:54:07.559 But you cannot have an authoritarian system in which people 3158 02:54:07.639 --> 02:54:10.360 are still free to move about as they like on 3159 02:54:10.440 --> 02:54:14.840 their own initiative, in their own vehicle, unsupervised, unmonitored, and uncontrolled. 3160 02:54:15.200 --> 02:54:18.840 In order for them to impose a truly authoritarian system 3161 02:54:18.840 --> 02:54:22.520 on Americans, they have got to get control over transportation 3162 02:54:22.600 --> 02:54:27.120 and particularly personal transportation. And when you filter everything that's 3163 02:54:27.120 --> 02:54:29.559 going on through that, everything becomes comprehensible. 3164 02:54:29.840 --> 02:54:32.600 That's right. I tell people all the time. The TSA 3165 02:54:32.760 --> 02:54:36.479 is a transportation security agency, right, it's not the airport 3166 02:54:36.559 --> 02:54:39.520 security agency. And they want to do that. 3167 02:54:39.559 --> 02:54:43.079 They want to eliminate the private vehicles so that everything 3168 02:54:43.120 --> 02:54:47.719 becomes like the airport. If you like that, certainly you'll 3169 02:54:47.760 --> 02:54:49.719 be able to keep that authoritarian government. If you like 3170 02:54:49.719 --> 02:54:52.200 your authoritarian government, you can keep it, or they'll keep 3171 02:54:52.239 --> 02:54:52.639 it for you. 3172 02:54:54.600 --> 02:54:57.760 With something like geofencing and the tesla's they can just 3173 02:54:57.760 --> 02:55:00.600 simply section you off, say oh no, you're car, just 3174 02:55:00.639 --> 02:55:02.879 simply will not go there. You turning that way. No, 3175 02:55:03.000 --> 02:55:05.879 we're going to autopilot you back into your safe zone. 3176 02:55:06.280 --> 02:55:08.159 We're not allowed over here. You're not allowed to go 3177 02:55:08.239 --> 02:55:08.600 this far. 3178 02:55:08.639 --> 02:55:10.440 And anyone have enough range really to get out of 3179 02:55:10.440 --> 02:55:12.280 there anyway. You know, it's fifteen minute city. 3180 02:55:12.319 --> 02:55:15.559 That's about how creepy it is. And it's incredible, al Blase. 3181 02:55:15.799 --> 02:55:18.280 So many Americans are they think even if they're aware 3182 02:55:18.280 --> 02:55:20.959 of it, they will say, oh, well, that would never happen. 3183 02:55:21.000 --> 02:55:23.159 They would never do that to us. 3184 02:55:23.559 --> 02:55:26.280 Yeah, you know, Eric, about ten years ago, I went 3185 02:55:26.280 --> 02:55:29.200 to an auto show in Texas to start around up. 3186 02:55:29.319 --> 02:55:30.360 Yeah, a long Star round Up. 3187 02:55:30.360 --> 02:55:34.559 It's a real big classic show, and I think it's 3188 02:55:34.559 --> 02:55:36.799 got to be an America made car, and it's got 3189 02:55:36.840 --> 02:55:43.760 to be They don't include the it's got to be older. 3190 02:55:43.319 --> 02:55:45.399 Than the Mustang's older than sixty four. 3191 02:55:45.520 --> 02:55:48.000 Sixty five is a cutoff, right, So they didn't want 3192 02:55:48.040 --> 02:55:50.079 to take it at that point. 3193 02:55:50.159 --> 02:55:52.399 But there's a lot of modification to. 3194 02:55:52.399 --> 02:55:54.920 Them, and a lot of rat rods that are out there, 3195 02:55:54.920 --> 02:55:58.479 you know, really grungy cars that people have kept going 3196 02:55:58.680 --> 02:56:01.000 and modified. I want to and I talked to all 3197 02:56:01.040 --> 02:56:03.239 these people and they were all different ages. You know, 3198 02:56:03.680 --> 02:56:06.159 people had cars they were seventeen or eighteen years old 3199 02:56:06.520 --> 02:56:09.120 that they had fixed up up to people who retirees, 3200 02:56:09.159 --> 02:56:11.120 and I asked them, all, do you think the government 3201 02:56:11.239 --> 02:56:14.120 is going to make private cars go away and gasoline 3202 02:56:14.120 --> 02:56:14.879 cars go away? 3203 02:56:15.200 --> 02:56:16.559 Oh? Yeah, they all said. 3204 02:56:16.680 --> 02:56:19.239 And to a man, they pretty much all said, including 3205 02:56:19.479 --> 02:56:21.559 like seventeen eight year olds, it will never happen in 3206 02:56:21.559 --> 02:56:25.760 my lifetime. It's like, man, the disconnect that was there 3207 02:56:25.879 --> 02:56:28.360 at that time was just that was the most You know, 3208 02:56:28.399 --> 02:56:30.600 the cars are interesting, but the most interesting thing was 3209 02:56:30.600 --> 02:56:34.520 how these people had lied to themselves about the government's 3210 02:56:34.559 --> 02:56:39.879 intentions and its abilities to rob them of their mobility. 3211 02:56:40.040 --> 02:56:41.040 It truly is amazing. 3212 02:56:42.000 --> 02:56:45.000 The intentions were always there. I think the technology has 3213 02:56:45.040 --> 02:56:48.120 made it much more feasible to fast track things. They 3214 02:56:48.120 --> 02:56:50.159 wouldn't have been able to do what they had wanted 3215 02:56:50.200 --> 02:56:52.639 to do for fifty years, you know, back in the 3216 02:56:52.680 --> 02:56:55.399 eighties and nineties, or even the early two thousands, But now, 3217 02:56:55.559 --> 02:57:00.639 particularly within the last ten years, they have now the 3218 02:57:00.680 --> 02:57:05.159 ability to utterly and completely control vehicles to a degree 3219 02:57:05.200 --> 02:57:08.040 that most people would not believe until they have to 3220 02:57:08.040 --> 02:57:08.520 deal with it. 3221 02:57:08.559 --> 02:57:08.719 You know. 3222 02:57:09.040 --> 02:57:12.239 I give various examples. One is the illusion that you 3223 02:57:12.280 --> 02:57:15.239 have in a modern car that you're controlling how fast 3224 02:57:15.280 --> 02:57:15.680 you drive. 3225 02:57:15.719 --> 02:57:16.000 You're not. 3226 02:57:16.319 --> 02:57:18.600 When you push down on the accelerator pedal, all you're 3227 02:57:18.600 --> 02:57:21.879 doing is feeding data to the computer. You're not connected 3228 02:57:21.879 --> 02:57:24.360 to the engine, to a cable system and a throttle 3229 02:57:24.360 --> 02:57:27.440 any longer. You're sending data to a computer, and the 3230 02:57:27.479 --> 02:57:30.680 computer then is telling the engine, okay, increase the RPMs 3231 02:57:30.799 --> 02:57:33.479 or to a certain amount to give you the illusion 3232 02:57:33.840 --> 02:57:36.799 that you're the one who's controlling the car. I had 3233 02:57:36.840 --> 02:57:40.040 a Ford expedition a couple of weeks ago, and I 3234 02:57:40.120 --> 02:57:41.840 was this is a big vehicle, big SUV, and I'm 3235 02:57:41.840 --> 02:57:43.520 trying to back the thing up in my driveway. Now 3236 02:57:43.520 --> 02:57:45.280 I've lived where I lived for twenty years. I know 3237 02:57:45.360 --> 02:57:48.559 my driveway. There's a big bush at the one side 3238 02:57:48.600 --> 02:57:51.360 of my driveway, and I know, because again I've been 3239 02:57:51.399 --> 02:57:53.600 doing it for twenty years, exactly how far I can 3240 02:57:53.639 --> 02:57:57.120 back up before I hit that bush. But the forward 3241 02:57:57.440 --> 02:58:00.360 slams on the brakes a couple of feet or I 3242 02:58:00.360 --> 02:58:04.079 get anywhere near the bush. Because again safety but you know, 3243 02:58:04.239 --> 02:58:06.600 read dig down and to think about what that means. 3244 02:58:06.639 --> 02:58:09.559 The vehicle can decide that it's going to stop. Yeah, 3245 02:58:09.600 --> 02:58:12.879 you know, ray your will. It's going to exercise control. 3246 02:58:13.120 --> 02:58:14.879 And bit by bit they're doing this. I had an 3247 02:58:14.920 --> 02:58:17.959 article look the other day about this speed limit assistance technology. 3248 02:58:18.159 --> 02:58:20.879 I love how they call it assistance technology, Like you 3249 02:58:21.000 --> 02:58:23.559 didn't know you were driving faster than the speed limit, 3250 02:58:23.639 --> 02:58:25.719 and now the car is well, oh, thank you so much, 3251 02:58:25.760 --> 02:58:28.159 car for telling me that I'm driving faster than the 3252 02:58:28.159 --> 02:58:30.239 speed limit. And you know, first they try to shame you. 3253 02:58:30.239 --> 02:58:32.280 There's a little icon that pops up in the dashboard 3254 02:58:32.319 --> 02:58:35.239 that shows us a speed limit sign and it goes red. 3255 02:58:35.319 --> 02:58:37.239 You know you're driving faster than the speed limit. And 3256 02:58:37.280 --> 02:58:39.600 sometimes there's a chime that companies it. And this is 3257 02:58:39.639 --> 02:58:42.040 weirdly standard now on all the vehicles. Why is that. 3258 02:58:42.280 --> 02:58:44.840 You know, it's not optional for people who need assistance. 3259 02:58:44.879 --> 02:58:46.719 If I need assistance, oh I love that, I'll buy 3260 02:58:46.760 --> 02:58:49.959 some assistance. No, they're making it standard because what they're 3261 02:58:49.959 --> 02:58:54.840 doing is in classic Fabian socialist style, slowly, bit by bit, 3262 02:58:55.200 --> 02:58:57.559 you know, getting people used to this stuff, and the 3263 02:58:57.600 --> 02:59:00.440 next step will be not just assisting you to know 3264 02:59:00.479 --> 02:59:02.559 that you're driving faster than the speed limit, it will 3265 02:59:02.600 --> 02:59:05.600 be preventing you from driving any faster than the speed 3266 02:59:05.639 --> 02:59:08.200 limit by using the drive by wire throttle by using 3267 02:59:08.280 --> 02:59:12.360 the electrically controlled braking system to prevent you from doing it. 3268 02:59:12.440 --> 02:59:15.440 And what they're doing with that is making driving such 3269 02:59:15.479 --> 02:59:19.319 a it's no longer fun. You feel like you're guarented. 3270 02:59:19.360 --> 02:59:22.239 You feel like you're a kindergartener again. And that's deliberately. 3271 02:59:22.760 --> 02:59:24.120 They want you to just say, you know, the heck 3272 02:59:24.159 --> 02:59:24.360 with it? 3273 02:59:24.399 --> 02:59:24.840 Why am I? 3274 02:59:24.959 --> 02:59:27.120 Why am I signing up for a seven hundred dollars 3275 02:59:27.120 --> 02:59:29.040 a month loan for the next six years. I don't 3276 02:59:29.040 --> 02:59:31.600 even control the car. The car nags me and pesters 3277 02:59:31.639 --> 02:59:33.120 me all the time, it tells me what to do. 3278 02:59:33.280 --> 02:59:34.760 The heck with it. I'm just going to get my 3279 02:59:34.799 --> 02:59:37.360 app on my phone and I'll tap it and I'll 3280 02:59:37.360 --> 02:59:38.120 get my ride. 3281 02:59:38.319 --> 02:59:39.440 That's right. Yeah. 3282 02:59:39.760 --> 02:59:42.840 The comedian and British comedian Ron Atkinson who plays mister 3283 02:59:42.879 --> 02:59:46.360 Bean Okay, he was an engineer before he became a comedian, 3284 02:59:46.840 --> 02:59:49.719 and he's got a lot he loves cars, and he's 3285 02:59:49.719 --> 02:59:53.000 got a lot of very expensive hypercars. And he said, well, 3286 02:59:53.399 --> 02:59:56.639 you don't really drive these so much as you manage them. 3287 02:59:57.760 --> 03:00:00.520 There's so much drive by wire stuff in it. And 3288 03:00:00.719 --> 03:00:03.799 I remember when Michael Hastings was killed and I think 3289 03:00:03.840 --> 03:00:05.440 he was killed. I don't think it was an accident, 3290 03:00:05.920 --> 03:00:09.200 and he was. He had rented a late model Mercedes 3291 03:00:09.200 --> 03:00:13.159 when that happened, and he was he thought that people 3292 03:00:13.200 --> 03:00:15.159 were after him with the government because of what he 3293 03:00:15.319 --> 03:00:17.319 was reporting on, and he'd had a lot of death 3294 03:00:17.319 --> 03:00:21.200 threats from the government, and so he went out to 3295 03:00:21.239 --> 03:00:23.479 his car. His landlady said he would go out to 3296 03:00:23.520 --> 03:00:24.920 the car and he'd look underneath it and all this 3297 03:00:24.959 --> 03:00:26.760 other kind of stuff to see if there was some 3298 03:00:26.920 --> 03:00:30.680 kind of a bomb on it. But they you know, 3299 03:00:31.000 --> 03:00:33.719 when you have the when the computer is able to 3300 03:00:33.760 --> 03:00:36.520 control your acceleration, you're breaking, you're steering, and all these 3301 03:00:36.559 --> 03:00:40.520 other things, it's very, very easy to assassinate somebody that way. 3302 03:00:40.639 --> 03:00:44.399 And they have illustrated over and over again at the 3303 03:00:44.799 --> 03:00:47.879 black Hat conference in Vegas how easy it is to 3304 03:00:48.079 --> 03:00:50.920 hack one of these cars as well, because they're also online, 3305 03:00:51.120 --> 03:00:54.239 so everything is under computer control, and it's also online, 3306 03:00:54.639 --> 03:00:59.079 so any bad actor, especially the government, can jump into 3307 03:00:59.079 --> 03:01:00.959 this thing and do whatever they wish. They can shut 3308 03:01:01.000 --> 03:01:03.159 you down, or if they want to, they can try 3309 03:01:03.159 --> 03:01:03.920 to make it look like. 3310 03:01:03.879 --> 03:01:06.280 It was an accident. This is the type of thing 3311 03:01:06.280 --> 03:01:08.879 we've been seeing for a long time. Yeah, you had 3312 03:01:09.200 --> 03:01:09.680 your article. 3313 03:01:09.680 --> 03:01:13.040 When you're talking about the insurance, when will people decide 3314 03:01:13.079 --> 03:01:15.719 to stop paying? And you talk about the fact that 3315 03:01:15.760 --> 03:01:18.840 you've got an antique car, you drive it three hundred 3316 03:01:18.840 --> 03:01:20.680 miles a year and stay within about a ten mile 3317 03:01:20.799 --> 03:01:24.799 radius of your home in rural Virginia, and why should 3318 03:01:24.799 --> 03:01:26.600 you have to pay insurance for that? That should be 3319 03:01:26.920 --> 03:01:29.799 your decision for that. But of course it is this 3320 03:01:30.959 --> 03:01:34.079 corporate government fascism that we see over and over again 3321 03:01:34.079 --> 03:01:36.280 where they force you to buy their product, isn't. 3322 03:01:36.079 --> 03:01:40.000 It It is? And now they are using insurance to 3323 03:01:40.040 --> 03:01:42.200 price people out of vehicle ownership. 3324 03:01:42.399 --> 03:01:42.680 Yeah. 3325 03:01:42.760 --> 03:01:45.200 Everybody you probably had this happen to you as well, 3326 03:01:45.559 --> 03:01:49.159 has had their premium increase by on average twenty five 3327 03:01:49.200 --> 03:01:51.559 to thirty percent, and in some cases fifty percent or 3328 03:01:51.600 --> 03:01:54.200 more for absolutely no reason having to do with anything 3329 03:01:54.239 --> 03:01:56.719 they did in terms of having an accident, filing a 3330 03:01:56.799 --> 03:01:59.639 claim anything, or even a speeding ticket. You get the 3331 03:01:59.719 --> 03:02:01.239 notice in the mail and all of a sudden, your 3332 03:02:01.280 --> 03:02:04.000 premium is, you know, double what it was the year prior. 3333 03:02:04.079 --> 03:02:06.639 Why because they can, you know, because they don't have 3334 03:02:06.719 --> 03:02:08.799 an option to say no. Imagine what a cup of 3335 03:02:08.840 --> 03:02:10.879 coffee would cost if the government said you have to 3336 03:02:10.879 --> 03:02:14.680 go to Starbucks. You can by a cup of Starbucks 3337 03:02:14.680 --> 03:02:16.719 coffee at least once a week. You know, we'd be 3338 03:02:16.719 --> 03:02:19.040 paying ten dollars for a cup of coffee at Starbucks. 3339 03:02:19.280 --> 03:02:20.399 That's exactly where we are. 3340 03:02:21.360 --> 03:02:23.440 That's essentially where we are with this. And I think, 3341 03:02:23.799 --> 03:02:25.399 you know, we are getting to a point. You know, 3342 03:02:25.440 --> 03:02:27.200 I have my ear to the ground about things like this, 3343 03:02:27.280 --> 03:02:30.479 and it's also my own personal opinion that everybody's feeling 3344 03:02:30.479 --> 03:02:32.879 pinched because of the cost of everything. 3345 03:02:32.520 --> 03:02:34.360 Everything that's going up, and they don't include it and 3346 03:02:34.399 --> 03:02:37.120 the evaluation of inflation either, do they this? 3347 03:02:37.959 --> 03:02:39.399 And so you know, when it comes down to a 3348 03:02:39.479 --> 03:02:42.760 choice between you know, obeying the law and handing a 3349 03:02:42.840 --> 03:02:45.760 check over to these insurance mobsters for a large sum 3350 03:02:45.760 --> 03:02:48.319 of money that could be used to pay your electric bill, 3351 03:02:48.639 --> 03:02:51.479 or you know, for your family, what's the choice. Well, 3352 03:02:51.600 --> 03:02:53.239 you know, probably a lot of people are going to say, 3353 03:02:53.239 --> 03:02:54.559 you know what, I'm going to buy food for my 3354 03:02:54.639 --> 03:02:57.520 family instead of sending this check to All State or Geicoe. 3355 03:02:57.760 --> 03:02:59.600 Yeah, and so what. 3356 03:02:59.559 --> 03:03:02.200 You know, I mean that the illegal aliens can with 3357 03:03:02.280 --> 03:03:04.680 impunity because they you know, they can't. They can't get 3358 03:03:04.680 --> 03:03:06.719 blood out of a stone can they know they don't 3359 03:03:06.719 --> 03:03:09.680 have any access disease. So and I'm not I'm really 3360 03:03:09.719 --> 03:03:11.559 I'm not. I'm not disparaging people who are in that 3361 03:03:11.600 --> 03:03:14.120 category because I understand people are trying to improve their 3362 03:03:14.120 --> 03:03:15.799 lives and all of that. Just trying to make the 3363 03:03:15.840 --> 03:03:19.399 point that there are no consequences for those people. Know, 3364 03:03:20.159 --> 03:03:22.040 if they want to go out and drive without insurance 3365 03:03:22.040 --> 03:03:24.879 and hit you and wreck you, they'll walk away from 3366 03:03:24.920 --> 03:03:26.479 it and the state will do nothing about it. But 3367 03:03:26.520 --> 03:03:28.719 you and I we don't hit anybody, you know, we 3368 03:03:28.799 --> 03:03:31.479 haven't caused any problems for anybody. But we didn't hand 3369 03:03:31.520 --> 03:03:34.760 over the money to the mobsters. They'll cancel your driver's license, 3370 03:03:34.799 --> 03:03:37.559 they'll cancel your registration, and if they catch you driving, 3371 03:03:37.840 --> 03:03:40.319 they'll you know, impound your vehicle and potentially arrest you 3372 03:03:40.399 --> 03:03:40.639 for it. 3373 03:03:40.760 --> 03:03:43.200 Yeah, that's absolutely right. Yeah, you're absolutely right. That's the 3374 03:03:43.200 --> 03:03:43.799 way it works. 3375 03:03:44.120 --> 03:03:46.520 It's a two tier standard already in many different areas 3376 03:03:46.559 --> 03:03:48.879 that we've got in this country. Well, well at a time, 3377 03:03:49.239 --> 03:03:51.760 is always great having you on, Eric. Anything you want 3378 03:03:51.760 --> 03:03:54.559 to tell us about what's happening with your website. 3379 03:03:54.879 --> 03:03:56.680 Oh, well, nothing more than what's on there. 3380 03:03:57.280 --> 03:03:57.440 You know. 3381 03:03:57.520 --> 03:03:59.680 I posted an article this morning. It's more of a 3382 03:03:59.719 --> 03:04:01.920 thought piece about how we're all kind of in this 3383 03:04:02.000 --> 03:04:03.799 bad marriage situation in this country. 3384 03:04:04.200 --> 03:04:07.639 You know, Yeah, Trump's is the guy who has bad marriages. 3385 03:04:07.680 --> 03:04:09.239 He specializes in that, doesn't he. 3386 03:04:09.760 --> 03:04:12.360 Well, isn't it interesting that for the most part, most 3387 03:04:12.399 --> 03:04:14.040 people will say, okay, you know, if you have a 3388 03:04:14.040 --> 03:04:16.840 situation where a couple just can't work it out, they're 3389 03:04:16.879 --> 03:04:19.799 at odds. You know, nobody would say, well, they have 3390 03:04:19.840 --> 03:04:22.040 to stay married and be miserable for the rest of 3391 03:04:22.079 --> 03:04:25.120 their lives. People accept that sometimes marriages don't work and 3392 03:04:25.159 --> 03:04:27.040 you know, there's a divorce. It's not a happy thing, 3393 03:04:27.239 --> 03:04:29.799 but it's better than forcing people who can't live together 3394 03:04:30.040 --> 03:04:32.879 to live together. Well, politically, somehow that seems to be 3395 03:04:32.959 --> 03:04:34.879 off the table. Why is that? You know, we're at 3396 03:04:34.920 --> 03:04:36.600 a point in this country with the left, right and 3397 03:04:36.680 --> 03:04:39.079 just people who want to be left alone chiefly versus 3398 03:04:39.079 --> 03:04:41.680 those won't leave people alone. Why can't we just figure 3399 03:04:41.680 --> 03:04:44.520 out a way to peacefully separate ourselves and that way 3400 03:04:44.639 --> 03:04:47.959 end this fractiousness, you know, and and just instead of 3401 03:04:48.000 --> 03:04:50.639 going to blows with each other, and that includes blows 3402 03:04:50.639 --> 03:04:53.120 at the ballot box and trying to constantly figure out 3403 03:04:53.159 --> 03:04:55.920 a way to elect our guy to impose our will 3404 03:04:56.000 --> 03:04:58.040 on the other side, how about we just figure out 3405 03:04:58.079 --> 03:05:00.360 a way to go our own way and live and 3406 03:05:00.440 --> 03:05:02.760 let live. The problem is that probably half the country 3407 03:05:02.799 --> 03:05:04.319 doesn't want to live and let live. 3408 03:05:04.680 --> 03:05:06.719 Yeah, I've talked about that. You know, if you look 3409 03:05:06.760 --> 03:05:09.520 at the Scandinavian countries, they have split apart and joined 3410 03:05:09.559 --> 03:05:14.239 together in various combinations many times, and you know they 3411 03:05:14.239 --> 03:05:17.280 would peacefully join together, peacefully break apart, and there was never. 3412 03:05:17.159 --> 03:05:19.520 A war over it. We don't have a government like that. 3413 03:05:19.600 --> 03:05:22.000 You know. When Marjorie Taylor Green started talking about having 3414 03:05:22.079 --> 03:05:25.319 a national divorce, I said, yeah, the problem is is 3415 03:05:25.319 --> 03:05:28.719 that we're married to an abusive spouse who once he 3416 03:05:28.799 --> 03:05:30.719 finds out that we want to divorce him, he's going 3417 03:05:30.760 --> 03:05:31.479 to come kill us. 3418 03:05:31.600 --> 03:05:31.799 You know. 3419 03:05:32.120 --> 03:05:36.040 Ye that I recurrently use because I think it's very 3420 03:05:36.120 --> 03:05:38.040 pithy and it says it all. And it's a picture 3421 03:05:38.040 --> 03:05:40.719 of Abraham Lincoln and the caption reads, if you try 3422 03:05:40.760 --> 03:05:41.840 to leave me, I'll kill you. 3423 03:05:42.079 --> 03:05:46.920 That's right, you know, the ultimate abuse of the household. 3424 03:05:47.360 --> 03:05:51.159 That's exactly the case, especially in a country that was 3425 03:05:51.239 --> 03:05:54.399 formed over the right of secession and self government. That 3426 03:05:54.520 --> 03:05:58.319 was the basis of America's existence from the very beginning. 3427 03:05:58.360 --> 03:06:01.879 How could you deny that to somebody. I'm always all 3428 03:06:01.920 --> 03:06:04.719 about secession, and I would say, if at first you 3429 03:06:04.719 --> 03:06:06.600 don't seceed, try try again. 3430 03:06:07.000 --> 03:06:08.959 Maybe my model for everybot it's. 3431 03:06:08.879 --> 03:06:11.200 A safety valve, and everybody on board with that. 3432 03:06:11.360 --> 03:06:13.239 And of course there is one other thing we can do. 3433 03:06:13.559 --> 03:06:16.319 And people at Tenth Amendment Talked Center have talked about 3434 03:06:16.319 --> 03:06:19.600 this a lot. There is another avenue of this, and 3435 03:06:19.639 --> 03:06:23.159 that is nullification. That is kind of the middle point. 3436 03:06:23.520 --> 03:06:25.319 We say, well, we're just going tonore what you have 3437 03:06:25.399 --> 03:06:30.600 to say. So there is nullification and non commandeering and 3438 03:06:31.079 --> 03:06:35.000 short of and that effectively can allow you to secede 3439 03:06:35.120 --> 03:06:37.959 issue by issue if you've got people at the state 3440 03:06:38.040 --> 03:06:40.959 level who have the backbone to do that type of thing, 3441 03:06:41.000 --> 03:06:43.079 and that's the big if we don't because they're all 3442 03:06:43.120 --> 03:06:44.680 on the take. I don't think that we're going to 3443 03:06:44.719 --> 03:06:48.719 get this country back until we have a catastrophic economic 3444 03:06:48.840 --> 03:06:51.719 system that's going to destroy the ability of our government 3445 03:06:51.799 --> 03:06:54.760 with US dollars or reserve currency to just print money 3446 03:06:54.760 --> 03:06:58.360 out of thin air. Until that disappears, we're going to 3447 03:06:58.399 --> 03:07:00.360 have the same type of situation. 3448 03:07:00.319 --> 03:07:02.799 We do have one power under our control, and it 3449 03:07:02.840 --> 03:07:05.920 is to simply not participate, to opt out on our own. 3450 03:07:05.959 --> 03:07:08.360 You know. With regard to new cars, if you don't 3451 03:07:08.399 --> 03:07:10.680 want to be data mined and controlled, well, don't buy 3452 03:07:10.719 --> 03:07:13.000 a new car. You know, keep the older car that 3453 03:07:13.040 --> 03:07:15.200 you have, Get an older car, fix it up. You know, 3454 03:07:15.280 --> 03:07:18.120 during the pandemic, don't wear a mask, don't go along, 3455 03:07:18.280 --> 03:07:21.319 don't comply. If enough of us as individuals, you don't 3456 03:07:21.360 --> 03:07:25.879 have to join an organization, just abide. It's in your 3457 03:07:25.920 --> 03:07:28.879 own moral compass. And you know, if this is wrong, 3458 03:07:29.000 --> 03:07:31.280 I don't like this, I'm not going along with it. 3459 03:07:31.479 --> 03:07:34.200 That's it. I'm just taking my stand. I'm not going 3460 03:07:34.239 --> 03:07:36.680 to be a cattle and go along moving with the 3461 03:07:36.760 --> 03:07:39.040 herd just because that's what the herd does. 3462 03:07:39.680 --> 03:07:41.840 Yeah, I'd been thrown out of so many different places 3463 03:07:41.840 --> 03:07:44.200 and restaurants in Texas. I had to move to Tennessee 3464 03:07:44.280 --> 03:07:46.840 because I promised these people I would never be back 3465 03:07:46.879 --> 03:07:47.680 because of the way. 3466 03:07:47.479 --> 03:07:50.840 That they insisted that I wear a mask. And I left. 3467 03:07:50.879 --> 03:07:52.799 Then I said, and I won't be back, and I 3468 03:07:52.879 --> 03:07:55.399 kept my word by moving to State. That's the only 3469 03:07:55.399 --> 03:07:57.360 way I could do it. It's always great to have 3470 03:07:57.399 --> 03:08:00.760 you on Eric, Eric petersautos dot com. Folks, I had 3471 03:08:00.799 --> 03:08:05.440 great sight for liberty and mobility and a little bit 3472 03:08:05.440 --> 03:08:08.799 of nostalgia now as well, because that's how the only 3473 03:08:08.840 --> 03:08:10.799 way we're going to be able to keep our mobility 3474 03:08:10.840 --> 03:08:14.000 is with classic cars. Thank you, Eric, always great to 3475 03:08:14.000 --> 03:08:14.319 talk to you. 3476 03:08:14.479 --> 03:08:16.719 Thank you, Travis, Thank you Eric, always a pleasure speaking 3477 03:08:16.760 --> 03:08:20.600 to you.

Thanks for everything. I 3480 03:08:25.280 --> 03:08:26.520 wish I could do so much more. 3481 03:08:26.680 --> 03:08:28.239 Well, Thank you so much. 3482 03:08:28.280 --> 03:08:28.440 A C. 3483 03:08:28.600 --> 03:08:29.360 S A B. Thank you. 3484 03:08:29.399 --> 03:08:31.079 It really is because of your support that we're able 3485 03:08:31.120 --> 03:08:32.760 to continue to do this and we really cannot thank 3486 03:08:32.799 --> 03:08:35.239 you enough. Thank you very much, folks, Thank you all 3487 03:08:35.319 --> 03:08:37.360 very much. God lest you all have a wonderful rest 3488 03:08:37.360 --> 03:08:37.799 of your day. 3489 03:08:38.120 --> 03:08:54.559 Yes, the common man, they created common Core, dumbed down 3490 03:08:54.600 --> 03:08:58.520 our children. They created common past, track and control us. 3491 03:08:58.680 --> 03:09:02.680 They're Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing 3492 03:09:03.559 --> 03:09:08.239 and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, 3493 03:09:08.680 --> 03:09:13.600 unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity 3494 03:09:13.799 --> 03:09:18.600 created in the image of God. That is what we 3495 03:09:18.680 --> 03:09:21.520 have in common. That is what they want to take away. 3496 03:09:22.360 --> 03:09:28.040 Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire 3497 03:09:28.079 --> 03:09:32.000 to know everything about us, while they hide everything from us. 3498 03:09:33.000 --> 03:09:36.000 It's time to turn that around and expose what they 3499 03:09:36.040 --> 03:09:39.799 want to hide.
