Speaker 1: In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a
Speaker 1: revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. Now the clock
Speaker 1: strikes thirteen. It's Wednesday, the seventh of January, Year of
Speaker 1: Our Lord, twenty twenty six. Well today we have an
Speaker 1: update on January the sixth, and this time it's on
Speaker 1: the other side.
Speaker 2: It's on the left and the Conservatives are doing it
Speaker 2: to them. We're also going to take a look at
Speaker 2: the amazing absurd lines. And now we have all of
Speaker 2: the maga apologists and big influencers are coming up with
Speaker 2: their own reasons to excuse what Trump has done, and
Speaker 2: they are a hoot. We've even got a pastor out
Speaker 2: there saying, yeah, this is about the oil. It's about
Speaker 2: the holy anointed oil of God on Donald Trump. You
Speaker 2: know they're actually telling you that. Meanwhile, we see this
Speaker 2: other fake Christian, Mike Johnson out there now indicted for
Speaker 2: getting six million dollars in kickbacks. It's the political equivalent
Speaker 2: of courses. Democrats as well have been indicted with it,
Speaker 2: political equivalent of what's going on with the daycare centers,
Speaker 2: and it does involve some of them as well. It's
Speaker 2: gold going to go to eighty five hundred dollars. That's
Speaker 2: what one guy is saying. We'll be right back. Well, today,
Speaker 2: I want to begin with some of the amusing lies,
Speaker 2: official and unofficial. It's kind of interesting to look at
Speaker 2: the indictment because the official charges make no mention of fentanyl.
Speaker 2: Isn't that interesting? And of course we all knew that.
Speaker 2: We all knew that was a lie. That was as
Speaker 2: much of a lie as Canada infenttyl. Remember you had
Speaker 2: Jack Pisobia trying to sell that for Trump, the only
Speaker 2: person who tried to sell that for Trump. Everybody else said,
Speaker 2: you're crazy. There's no fentinel coming from there. The DEA
Speaker 2: has never said there was fentanyl coming from there. Nobody
Speaker 2: else who followed this insane prohibition agenda said so. But
Speaker 2: now you've I guess you're gonna have to have some
Speaker 2: of these MAGA shows update their articles and take fentanyl
Speaker 2: out because the Department of Justice has taken that out completely.
Speaker 2: So what does he try? Charged with machine guns and cocaine?
Speaker 2: This is like what was the movie that had Appachino
Speaker 2: and at Travis, you know, say hello to my little friend. Anyway,
Speaker 2: this is what is looking like here right and look
Speaker 2: I'm not defending Maduro. I'm just saying we don't have
Speaker 2: right to do this, and it's a very dangerous precedent.
Speaker 2: The end does not justify the means, even if it's Trump,
Speaker 2: even if it's your tribe. The ends don't justify the means.
Speaker 2: So again, what they're saying the machine guns figure so
Speaker 2: prominently because Karen Latin said, well, you know, pistols are
Speaker 2: not allowed in the UK, so can the UK come
Speaker 2: over and start kidnapping American citizens have pistols or firearms
Speaker 2: or whatever, because they've got laws against firearms. What they're
Speaker 2: saying is the machine guns were traded by Maduro for
Speaker 2: cocaine and that they were trafficking cocaine. So these weapon
Speaker 2: counts are part of a broader forecount indictment that includes
Speaker 2: narco terrorism, conspiracy, and cocaine importation conspiracy. Each charge carries
Speaker 2: a potential maximum sentence of life in prison, so for
Speaker 2: life in prison charges here, So the forecounts basically boiled
Speaker 2: down to narco terrorism, conspiracy, conspiracy to import cocaine, possession
Speaker 2: of machine guns, and conspiracy to possess machine guns. We
Speaker 2: see this over and over again from the US government.
Speaker 2: They charge with a crime, and then a conspiracy to
Speaker 2: commit the crime. Interestingly enough, the only charge them with
Speaker 2: a conspiracy to import cocaine, not with actually doing it,
Speaker 2: So again we can let them work out the fine
Speaker 2: details of that. This is just part of our lawless
Speaker 2: system here in the US, internally as well as internationally.
Speaker 2: The indictment accuses Maduro leading a long running conspiracy of
Speaker 2: the Cartel of the Sun. Oh wait a minute, they
Speaker 2: took that out too. It's no longer the Cartel of
Speaker 2: the Sun. Isn't that interesting. So the formal criminal charges
Speaker 2: are cocaine specific. There are no fentanyl related charges. The
Speaker 2: word does not appear in the indictment. And another phrase
Speaker 2: that is disappearing here is this cartel of the Sons,
Speaker 2: actually the Cartel of the Sons. As we said before,
Speaker 2: they said, well, you know, is it really a formal thing. Well,
Speaker 2: they'll say that it's a formal organization when it suits
Speaker 2: their purpose, and they'll say it's an informal association when
Speaker 2: it doesn't suit their purpose. This is a label that
Speaker 2: was put on by journalists talking about the fact that
Speaker 2: you had so many of these generals who had a
Speaker 2: Son insignia on their uniforms were involved in the drug
Speaker 2: trade there of cocaine, not fentanyl, and so they called
Speaker 2: it the Cartel of the Suns. The journalists did, but
Speaker 2: it was not a formal organization. Nevertheless, the Trump administration
Speaker 2: had treated it that way in March of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: They're in Trump's first term. You know what else happened
Speaker 2: in March of twenty twenty. That was when he declared
Speaker 2: the pandemic on that Friday, the thirteenth, March the thirteenth,
Speaker 2: and locked everything down. So we were paying attention to
Speaker 2: some other things, but the Department of Justice indicted Maduro
Speaker 2: over this Cartel of the Sun's thing. The formal indictment
Speaker 2: there at the time referenced the Cartel of the Suns
Speaker 2: as a formal Venezuelan drug trafficingg organization composed of high
Speaker 2: ranking Venezuelan officials. The narrative intensified in twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: and Trump's second term. The O S. Treasury Department designated
Speaker 2: it as a terrorist entity, and then under Marco Rubio
Speaker 2: in November, they formally labeled it a foreign terrorist organization.
Speaker 2: But now they have dropped it completely. Ed it appeared
Speaker 2: over thirty times in these other indictments. But now it's
Speaker 2: just disappeared, just like ventanyl, and the victory is going
Speaker 2: to evaporate as well, folks, as we see the resistance
Speaker 2: already building, they're going to have a long term problem
Speaker 2: with this, just like they do with nation building, and
Speaker 2: that's what they're looking at. We're going to rebuild the
Speaker 2: wall infrastructure there. Well, I think the people that are
Speaker 2: there are going to have something to say about that.
Speaker 2: So the cartel purpose was nothing other than an exaggeration
Speaker 2: for geopolitical purposes. We can all see that as well.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, you go back and look
Speaker 2: at it. What really was the cartel of the suns?
Speaker 2: It was a conspiracy we're told of high ranking Venezuelan
Speaker 2: officials to traffic cocaine. I have said from the very
Speaker 2: beginning that if you want to know what the real
Speaker 2: drug cartel is, the biggest one in the world, look
Speaker 2: no further than the CIA. And this has been going
Speaker 2: on for decades. Here's a report from sixty minutes decades
Speaker 2: ago about the CIA Venezuelan drug cartel.
Speaker 3: A ton of cocaine, pure cocaine worth hundreds of millions
Speaker 3: is smuggled into the United States sounds familiar.
Speaker 2: Not the way this ton of cocaine got here.
Speaker 3: According to what the former head of the Drug Enforcement
Speaker 3: Administration told Mike Wallace, this drug shipment got here courtesy
Speaker 3: of what he calls drug trafficking by the CIA in
Speaker 3: partnership with the Venezuelan National Guard.
Speaker 4: If we understand what you're saying, a ton of cocaine
Speaker 4: was smuggled into the United States of America by the
Speaker 4: Venezuelan National Guard. Well, the in cooperation with the CIA.
Speaker 5: That's what That's exactly what appears to have happened.
Speaker 4: Until last month. Judge Robert bon was the head of
Speaker 4: the Drug Enforcement Administration the DEA, and Judge Barner explained
Speaker 4: to us that only the head of the DEA is
Speaker 4: authorized to approve the transportation of any illegal narcotics like
Speaker 4: cocaine into this country, even that the CIA is bringing
Speaker 4: it in.
Speaker 5: Let me put it this way, Mike, if this has
Speaker 5: not been approved by DEA or an appropriate law enforcement
Speaker 5: authority in the United States, then it's illegal. It's called
Speaker 5: drug trafficking, it's called drug smuggling.
Speaker 4: So what you're saying, in effect, is the CIA broke
Speaker 4: the law.
Speaker 2: Simple as that.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's any other way you can rationalize
Speaker 5: around it.
Speaker 2: Back in the.
Speaker 4: Nineteen eighties, the CIA was mandated by then President Reagan
Speaker 4: to develop intelligence on the Colombian drug cartels, and so
Speaker 4: the CIA, with Venezuela's Guardia Nacional or National Guard, set
Speaker 4: up an undercover operation, a drug smuggling operation in Venezuela
Speaker 4: that could handle the transhipment of the Colombian cartels cocaine
Speaker 4: on its way to market. Annabel Grim was a DEA
Speaker 4: agent with eighteen years experience, and she was made agent
Speaker 4: in charge in Caracas, and she says that the CIA
Speaker 4: station chief James Campbell, and this man Mark McFarland, the
Speaker 4: CIA officer in charge at the center, told her that
Speaker 4: to keep the undercover smuggling operation credible, they had to
Speaker 4: keep the cartail happy, and the way to do that
Speaker 4: was simple deliver their dope, untouched by US law enforcement,
Speaker 4: to the cartel's distributors. They're dope dealers in the United States.
Speaker 6: The CIA and the Guardian also wanted to let cocaine
Speaker 6: go on into the traffic without doing anything. They wanted
Speaker 6: to let it come up to the United States, no surveillance,
Speaker 6: no nothing.
Speaker 2: And of course that wasn't their first and last rodeo.
Speaker 2: Look At what they did with opioids in Afghanistan. Look
Speaker 2: what they did with crack cocaine and used Freeway Ricky
Speaker 2: Ross to distribute it so they could fund their black wars,
Speaker 2: their secret wars. And so when the original charging die
Speaker 2: bank in twenty twenty, Cartel the Sons was mentioned thirty times.
Speaker 2: It was mentioned twice in this one, but not as
Speaker 2: a formal organization. That's the way they referred to it
Speaker 2: thirty times in twenty twenty. Now they're referred to it
Speaker 2: as a patronage system, as a culture of corruption, you know,
Speaker 2: like the CIA. That's exactly what this stuff is about.
Speaker 2: And so you now got people who are lined up
Speaker 2: to defend this and the people who have attached themselves
Speaker 2: the Trump sucker media. They've attached themselves to Trump in
Speaker 2: order to make money, and so they're coming out now
Speaker 2: with new justifications for this. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: it was on the anniversary of January the sixth that
Speaker 2: you heard this. Well, I'm not for regime change.
Speaker 7: But serious action obviously. But you look how scared the
Speaker 7: Democrats are. They know it's closing in. You've got but
Speaker 7: the break. I remember this point about why we're going
Speaker 7: into Venezuela, and I'm not normally for regime change, but
Speaker 7: it's not just about.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we don't support regime change being the power. No,
Speaker 2: you pushed it, Alex. You pushed it proudly with that
Speaker 2: guy who's a billionaire from Overstock, what's his name, Patrick Byrne.
Speaker 2: You're pushing it, telling everybody it's a good thing, this
Speaker 2: is something we can win. We can always whip their
Speaker 2: butt in South America. Pathetic, pathetic. And then of course
Speaker 2: there's Glenn Beck as well, and he's got his own reason,
Speaker 2: and basically his reason is this is good because it's
Speaker 2: good geopolitics. Let me tell you something. Geopolitics is nothing
Speaker 2: other than the kind of left right Republican Democrat tribalism
Speaker 2: that they sell you. Domestically, we should go take out
Speaker 2: Venezuela because of who they do business with, who their
Speaker 2: allies are, what their political philosophy is. That's the bottom line.
Speaker 8: So I want to go over. I put a chalkboard
Speaker 8: up and if you're watching us at Glenbeck dot com,
Speaker 8: you'll see Venezuela, China, Iran, They're all connected. All of
Speaker 8: these things are connected. And if one, if somebody tells
Speaker 8: you this is all about the oil, listen to them,
Speaker 8: because it is. But I don't know if they understand
Speaker 8: what every war we had explain it. So if they're
Speaker 8: saying that is about drugs, this is about terror, this
Speaker 8: is about the hemisphere, this about the US military and
Speaker 8: the war machine.
Speaker 2: It's about our tribes to all of those things. So
Speaker 2: let me pull them apart.
Speaker 8: First of all, Right, now, Venezuela has the largest proven
Speaker 8: oil reserves on Earth, three hundred and three billion barrels.
Speaker 8: That's seventeen plus trillion dollars at the current market value.
Speaker 8: They also claim about eight thousand to ten thousand tons
Speaker 8: of gold that is still in ground. Okay, now here's
Speaker 8: the part you're not being told. With all of that oil,
Speaker 8: we don't need the oil. Have you noticed the gas
Speaker 8: prices they keep coming down. We don't need the oil.
Speaker 8: We need to pull the oil out of the ground ourselves,
Speaker 8: which we are. We need to refine it ourselves, which
Speaker 8: we are. China needs the oil. China buys sixty it
Speaker 8: was of all.
Speaker 2: Exports, but now you don't want to pull it out.
Speaker 8: China also buys of all of the oil from Iran.
Speaker 8: China also buys nearly half of all Russian oil. What's
Speaker 8: happening right now, well sixty to ninety percent of all
Speaker 8: of the exports from Venezuela now not going to China.
Speaker 8: How is China going to be able to power all
Speaker 8: of their electricity needs? How are they going to do
Speaker 8: that if they don't get oil from Venezuela. Oh and
Speaker 8: what else has spind stabilized this weekend? Iran they buy?
Speaker 2: They We're going to own the Chinese just like we
Speaker 2: own the Democrats. Isn't that great? You know, let's have
Speaker 2: war for all of this stuff. Look, here's the news flash.
Speaker 2: All the wars have been about oil. We look at Syria,
Speaker 2: that was about an oil pipeline, Our oil pipeline versus theirs.
Speaker 2: Look at the fight over the oil pipelines coming from
Speaker 2: Russia into Germany, the nord Stream one and two. Again,
Speaker 2: it's about who's going to supply the oil and who's
Speaker 2: going to have energy to run their country. These guys
Speaker 2: have never pushed so hard against the Green agenda, which
Speaker 2: wanted to destroy our oil embargo it for the left.
Speaker 2: And look, that ship sailed a long time ago. You
Speaker 2: look at Germany, look at UK. They are being destroyed
Speaker 2: by the green agenda that says that you can't use oil,
Speaker 2: you can't use They just had a they just had
Speaker 2: a particular diocese and in England, and the Church of
Speaker 2: England made this particular church, this particular diocese. Right after
Speaker 2: they put in a natural gas heater. They said, no,
Speaker 2: you're going to brand new. Just rip that out, throw
Speaker 2: it away. This is the insanity that is beset the West.
Speaker 2: And yet they still will fight over oil because that
Speaker 2: narrative about green stuff is not for the people who
Speaker 2: fly private jets. It's not for the people who have yachts.
Speaker 2: It's not for the people who's shooting in the countries
Speaker 2: who shoot rockets into space. It's not to restrict the
Speaker 2: military from shooting rockets and missiles. It's to stop you
Speaker 2: from being able to move with a car, to be
Speaker 2: able to have lights and electricity and heat and cool
Speaker 2: your home. That's what it's for. It's not about what
Speaker 2: they say it's about. Never is about what they say
Speaker 2: it's about. And so what Glenn Back is doing is
Speaker 2: played this clip for you once before. This is the
Speaker 2: clip is now since gone very viral. This is the
Speaker 2: Jack Ryan character talking about the fact that Venezuela has
Speaker 2: a lot of resources and it's allied with people that
Speaker 2: we don't like that we want to get rid of.
Speaker 2: You know, it's those Democrats out there. No, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: not democrats. It's now trying to Russian Iran. Right, So
Speaker 2: we've got this tribalism, there's that other tribe out there.
Speaker 2: We've got to own them. And so we've got to
Speaker 2: shut this down. And just remember that Tom Clancy always
Speaker 2: sold the CIA agenda. I mean he had, he worked
Speaker 2: in conjunction with Steve Pchennik. It was a psyop, you know.
Speaker 2: That's what Steve Achennik was all about, psychological manipulation. That
Speaker 2: was what his major was was psychology. And so it
Speaker 2: was all propaganda, influence pedaling from the CIA running through
Speaker 2: Tom Clancy. As a matter of fact, I think it
Speaker 2: was in the late nineteen eighties. I think I looked
Speaker 2: at up the other day. I think it was nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty nine that he wrote the book Clear and Present Danger.
Speaker 2: And at that point, the war on drugs had been
Speaker 2: going on for a couple of decades and everything was
Speaker 2: just getting worse when we weren't winning, and so the
Speaker 2: premise of that, not necessarily the movie, but the premise
Speaker 2: of the book was, well, we're just going to see
Speaker 2: how he's going to do what's necessary. We're going to
Speaker 2: go to actual war against the cartels. We're going to
Speaker 2: go in and use covert operations and strikes to take
Speaker 2: them out by force, which is what Trump is doing now.
Speaker 2: But you got Jack Ryan telling everybody this, and everybody
Speaker 2: is a Bourrah about all this stuff and saying, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's exactly right, because they've got resources and because the
Speaker 2: other side we need to destroy them.
Speaker 9: Would you assume is the most major threat on the
Speaker 9: world stage?
Speaker 10: Definitely Russia?
Speaker 11: Definitely Russia.
Speaker 2: Who else?
Speaker 11: China? Stop yelling at me, But China's a good answer. Venezuela.
Speaker 9: Anybody, everybody's cool with Venezuela.
Speaker 2: No threat?
Speaker 9: Okay, Which one of these places can claim to have
Speaker 9: the largest oil deposit on the planet, more than Saudi
Speaker 9: more than Iran?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 9: Okay, what about things like gold? More than all the
Speaker 9: mines in Africa combined?
Speaker 11: Venezuela.
Speaker 2: Glen Beck is just going right down this scrap of minerals.
Speaker 2: He played Daries as the CIA meritives.
Speaker 9: Why is this country in the midst of one of.
Speaker 2: The greatest virtual of Operation mocking Bird in modern history.
Speaker 12: On the news, they'll call it a crisis, but on
Speaker 12: the world stage, they'll call it a failed state. Other
Speaker 12: examples of a failed state in recent history are Yemen, Iraq.
Speaker 11: And Syria.
Speaker 9: And if that's not bad enough news for you, well,
Speaker 9: Venezuela is also the only one of these places within
Speaker 9: thirty minute range from the US of next gen nuclear missiles.
Speaker 9: You will not hear about any of this on the
Speaker 9: news because the biggest players on the world stage do
Speaker 9: not want you to Russia China to never be the
Speaker 9: most major threat until countries like Venezuela leave the door
Speaker 9: open to our very own backyard.
Speaker 2: Oh it's that Domino thing again, you know, there we go. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not just the Glenn Bick's and the Alex Shones
Speaker 2: selling the CIA narratives and trying to get you to yeah,
Speaker 2: we got to do this, We've got to. As a
Speaker 2: matter of fact, you're starting to see within just a
Speaker 2: couple of days, the same types of forces that have
Speaker 2: basically handed us defeat in all of these nation building,
Speaker 2: regime changing coups that we have been involved in, trying
Speaker 2: to see that gradually build back already. But we've got
Speaker 2: other reasons that we're being told by the Maga people.
Speaker 2: This is a cultist. See his name here is Hank Kunneman.
Speaker 2: It purports to speak to God, declaring that the US
Speaker 2: capture of the Venezuelan president was the work of the
Speaker 2: oil of my spirit, says God. They say, you have
Speaker 2: seen Venezuela for the oil. Yes, this is true, he says.
Speaker 13: They say, you have seized Venezuela for the oil.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is true.
Speaker 13: That there is that which has been brought to the
Speaker 13: forefront of this earthly battle. But the enemy has sought
Speaker 13: and was seeking to bring war and to bring conflict.
Speaker 2: So we did it through Venezuela and to.
Speaker 11: Control the oil of the earth.
Speaker 14: But the spiritual oil and the natural oil does not
Speaker 14: belong to the forces of darkness or to those who
Speaker 14: thought that they could bring a one world order. This
Speaker 14: is my reset, and the the nutural and the oil
Speaker 14: of the spirit is mine, says the Lord.
Speaker 2: Deceivers grifters. What I approach to the name of Christ.
Speaker 2: People like that are And then you've got General Flynn
Speaker 2: who goes around having people repeat after him occultic prayers
Speaker 2: to ascended Masters. He goes into Christian church buildings with
Speaker 2: this Reawakened America tour, and he gave an interview to Newsmax.
Speaker 2: I think it was no. Actually, this is Linde LTV.
Speaker 2: And he's telling us all that it is not regime change,
Speaker 2: it's something else.
Speaker 5: In the mainstream media is sort of going crazy right
Speaker 5: now because the president is bombing these ships.
Speaker 4: Do you have any comment or thoughts on that?
Speaker 2: Is it necessary?
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 15: The comment that I have is that the media is
Speaker 15: lying when they say that this is regime change. This
Speaker 15: is not regime change. Okay, there was a duly elected president.
Speaker 15: Her name is Maria Machado. She's a duly elected president actually,
Speaker 15: and when she won the when she won their election,
Speaker 15: she didn't Maduro made it, you know, he said Nope,
Speaker 15: ain't gonna happen, and he took the country over. So
Speaker 15: he basically, you know, and she's been on the run,
Speaker 15: you know, hiding out in the jungles of Venezuela. She's
Speaker 15: the one that just won the Nobel Peace Prize. Right,
Speaker 15: so this is not regime change.
Speaker 2: Is not in the jungles either. He is so factually
Speaker 2: challenged about all this stuff. But she did very well
Speaker 2: in some other elections, but she was not allowed to
Speaker 2: be on the ballot. And the person who was allowed
Speaker 2: to be on the ballot, Gonzalez, everybody agrees, did beat Maduro.
Speaker 2: That's what he's trying to talk about. But isn't it interesting.
Speaker 2: So the basis of this is that because Maduro overturned
Speaker 2: the election of Gonzalez, not Machado. Because he overturned the
Speaker 2: election of Gonzales, then we're not really doing regime change
Speaker 2: because the true president is Gonzales. Let me ask you,
Speaker 2: why aren't we putting Gonzales in power? Why aren't we
Speaker 2: even putting Machado in power? She became a figurehead leader
Speaker 2: for the opposition. Why isn't she in power? Well we
Speaker 2: know why. Because Trump is jealous that she got the
Speaker 2: Nobel Prize. This is how petty and what nonsense this
Speaker 2: all is. They want to say that it's not regime change,
Speaker 2: and yet they are not allowing the person that they
Speaker 2: say legitimately won the election. They're not allowing that person
Speaker 2: to rule. They're keeping those people out. Going to keep
Speaker 2: out Machado as well, because he doesn't like her because
Speaker 2: she took what he thought was his. He imagined that
Speaker 2: he was the rightful owner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 2: He didn't get it. So now he's going to take
Speaker 2: a piece of Venezuela. And now he's going to run Venezuela.
Speaker 2: And so the woman who won the Peace Prize instead
Speaker 2: of him and ran. Paul had this to say about
Speaker 2: how he got it wrong about Trump and how disappointed
Speaker 2: he was in Trump, because again, you take these people
Speaker 2: when they're candidates, you take them at their word after
Speaker 2: their president, after the first term. Why would you take
Speaker 2: somebody at their word again. Now they've got a record,
Speaker 2: and you should be voting for them based on their record,
Speaker 2: based on the phony pandemic that he led, based on
Speaker 2: the bioweapon that he engineered the financing of, and the
Speaker 2: same way that he gave billions of dollars to the
Speaker 2: pharmaceutical companies public money that turned into private fortunes for
Speaker 2: corporations and for executives. Trump is now repeating that same
Speaker 2: game plan doing it with the oil companies. That's the
Speaker 2: plan for this as well. It's going to take public
Speaker 2: money and give it to the oil companies. Look the
Speaker 2: oil companies, as somebody pointed out, I think was it
Speaker 2: Glenn Beck that said it? Oil is down right now
Speaker 2: in terms of price. The last thing these guys want
Speaker 2: is for there to be a glut of oil on
Speaker 2: the marketplace, and it's going to be a major investment
Speaker 2: for them to get the infrastructure up to extract that oil.
Speaker 2: And if they start extracting it in large quantities, that's
Speaker 2: going to depress the price. Do you remember when we
Speaker 2: had the Opec oil crisis. A lot of people are saying,
Speaker 2: you don't know who Opek is. Opek is, Exon and
Speaker 2: these other organizations. They don't want to have a lot
Speaker 2: of oil out there. They want to be rare, they
Speaker 2: want to be scarce. As a matter of fact, you
Speaker 2: go back and look at these oil companies like Exon.
Speaker 2: I remember when Trump picked Rex Tillerson, the former CEO
Speaker 2: of Exon, and at that point in time, I thought, maybe,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe Trump was the real deal and maybe
Speaker 2: he was just being misguided. I thought that for about
Speaker 2: a month or two. So I'm tweeting at him. I'm
Speaker 2: tweeting at Alec so no, al, it's got very angry
Speaker 2: about that. I'll get my name when I tweet criticizing
Speaker 2: Trump and contacted me and all these other people saying
Speaker 2: you're crazy. You know Rex Tillerson is not pushing the
Speaker 2: Green New Deal and said, yes, he yes, yes he is. No,
Speaker 2: he doesn't. He's a CEO of an oil company. They're
Speaker 2: different saying no, you don't understand. The oil companies are
Speaker 2: some of the biggest investors in this stuff, and oil
Speaker 2: and natural gas companies are investing in wind farms. The
Speaker 2: biggest wind farm off the coast of Long Island in
Speaker 2: New York that's run by a foreign oil or gas company.
Speaker 2: But yeah, these traditional energy firms are trying to get
Speaker 2: into this other stuff because there's a lot of money
Speaker 2: to be made in that, and they're going to they're
Speaker 2: going to jump into that. So they're not interested in
Speaker 2: flooding the market with trillions of dollars worth of oil
Speaker 2: at today's prices, because that would take the price per
Speaker 2: barrel way way way down. So Trump is going to
Speaker 2: bribe them, going to give them a lot of money
Speaker 2: because he wants to look good. He wants this to
Speaker 2: look like it's winning. But Ran Paul had this to
Speaker 2: say about Trump and regime change.
Speaker 16: This is something that I remember in the first debate
Speaker 16: in twenty sixteen, the first presidential debate, when I was
Speaker 16: there at the primary talking to his family, and now
Speaker 16: they all said, oh, we liked Ron Paul. They liked
Speaker 16: for Paul family. We liked his idea of not being involved.
Speaker 16: These were It was something I liked about Donald Trump.
Speaker 16: It was one of the things whenever I had misgivings
Speaker 16: about something else, I would always come back and say, well,
Speaker 16: he's the best we've ever had, much better than the Bushes,
Speaker 16: who were war mad and wanted to be involved in
Speaker 16: all these crazy wars overseas or to make the world
Speaker 16: safe for democracy. I never liked any of that, and
Speaker 16: I thought Trump was different, and so it disappoints me.
Speaker 16: But he's under the thrall of Lindsey gram.
Speaker 2: Fear, under the thrall of Lindsay Graham. Remember the thrall
Speaker 2: of the CIA is matter fact, Lindsay Graham first person.
Speaker 2: He's endorsed for this next election in twenty twenty six
Speaker 2: and he saw Lindsay on board the plane, you know,
Speaker 2: like glamor worm tie. It's just amazing. But getting back
Speaker 2: to the regime change that we are now involved in,
Speaker 2: because we're doing our own regime change, you know, part
Speaker 2: of the reason of why we're supposed to get Maduro
Speaker 2: is because he wouldn't let Machado run for office, even
Speaker 2: though she had done well when plimentary elections took her
Speaker 2: off the ballot, and then when Gonzalez beat him, wouldn't
Speaker 2: let Gonzalez be there. What are we doing? Are we
Speaker 2: going to let Gonzalez or Machado? Right? No, No, How
Speaker 2: is Trump when it comes to the elections and corruption
Speaker 2: with that kind of stuff? How is he different from Maduro?
Speaker 2: And that's one of the reasons why Alex Jones was saying, well,
Speaker 2: this is about the elections. This is a corruption center
Speaker 2: for the elections. He does that on j six So
Speaker 2: we got to go in there and flush outn as well.
Speaker 2: Because the corruption for the elections a new reason, right,
Speaker 2: didn't work. The cartel of the sons didn't work because
Speaker 2: that's actually the CIA working with Venezuelan officials to run
Speaker 2: that stuff in. So that stuff didn't work. So let's
Speaker 2: try a new angle. Let's talk about the election stuff
Speaker 2: on January sixth, and how Venezuela is the center of
Speaker 2: corrupt elections. Well, Machado went on with Sean Hannity on
Speaker 2: Fox News and they were going back and forth a
Speaker 2: lot of talk about the Peace Prize, because everybody understands
Speaker 2: that this is why Trump is going to deny the
Speaker 2: will of the people in Venezuela and not put in
Speaker 2: the person that they wanted as leader, because she took
Speaker 2: his Nobel Peace Prize. Right, So Maria Corina Machado, he goes
Speaker 2: on with Sean Hannity, so she'd love to personally give
Speaker 2: her Nobel prize to Trump after news reports that Trump
Speaker 2: had passed over supporting her as interim leader because she
Speaker 2: hadn't originally insisted that he be given the prize. Again,
Speaker 2: how petty, But it's about his ego attempting to force
Speaker 2: regime change. People are criticizing him for that, and that's
Speaker 2: what this really is, it's regime change. But also pointing
Speaker 2: out that just days before he did this invasion back
Speaker 2: in December, remember he pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former
Speaker 2: president of Honduras, who was then convicted of drug trafficking.
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about that. When did that
Speaker 2: happen and how did that happen? That's interesting to look at.
Speaker 2: This was when I talked about extradition and what the
Speaker 2: internationally agreed upon processes. It's that you don't invade another
Speaker 2: country to take whoever you want. You have treaties with people.
Speaker 2: You have to have something that is a crime in
Speaker 2: both countries, and the government of one country turns it
Speaker 2: over to another one, you don't violate their sovereignty. And
Speaker 2: if it's a head of state, you don't do anything
Speaker 2: at all it unless that person is no longer head
Speaker 2: a state. And so we see that Juan Hernandez, the
Speaker 2: former president of Honduras, after he left office, was arrested
Speaker 2: by the Honduran police, and the Honduran government complied with
Speaker 2: an extradition order from the United States. That happened in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. He was convicted, he was in prison,
Speaker 2: and then Trump pardons him. But notice how that happened.
Speaker 2: It was after he left office and it was his
Speaker 2: own country that arrested him and extradited him to the
Speaker 2: United States. Take a look at the guy that Trump
Speaker 2: loves and wants to pattern his own actions after Duterte
Speaker 2: Roberto du Terte out of the Philippines, who was doing
Speaker 2: extra judicial killings. Like Trump, just under the allegation that
Speaker 2: somebody is involved in drug stuff. You think they're doing drugs,
Speaker 2: kill them. And Trump's done that hundred and fifty times.
Speaker 2: They brag about it, right, I think under and fifty.
Speaker 2: It's over one hundred anyway, and that's more murders than
Speaker 2: they've got against du Terte and the trial that he
Speaker 2: is currently going through right now. But they did that
Speaker 2: after he left office and he was turned in and
Speaker 2: extradited by a government. But Trump violates all the international
Speaker 2: rules and standards and sovereignties. There are no borders for
Speaker 2: the Trump administration. Just understand that they don't recognize legal borders,
Speaker 2: legal boundaries, they don't recognize national boundaries. They do whatever
Speaker 2: they wish, and that's what is so dangerous about this.
Speaker 2: Forget about oil, forget about geopolitics, forget about all the
Speaker 2: rest of this stuff. Those are all the ends. And
Speaker 2: people saying, well, this is motivation of what he's trying
Speaker 2: to do, and I think that that's a good thing. Well,
Speaker 2: maybe it is, but you have to understand that as conservatives,
Speaker 2: we don't embrace the idea that the end justifies the means,
Speaker 2: because the way that Trump is doing all this stuff
Speaker 2: is I said so many times, even when you look
Speaker 2: at what's going on with ice right the way that
Speaker 2: he is doing this, So we need to deport people
Speaker 2: who have defied our laws. People come here who are
Speaker 2: on welfare and defiantly so because this is, as we
Speaker 2: point out, this is a strategy to take down America,
Speaker 2: and we've seen what it looks like in other countries
Speaker 2: as well. But you due process and you do it
Speaker 2: with not trying to maximize conflict. That's what Trump is
Speaker 2: trying to do. He's trying to maximize is mafia like power.
Speaker 2: Because he wants to maximize conflict. He deliberately goes to
Speaker 2: places that are going to oppose him in terms of deportation,
Speaker 2: and he avoids until other people, until journalists pointed out,
Speaker 2: he avoids going after the illegal truck drivers who can't
Speaker 2: even speak English driving eighteen wheelers. He ignores the Somalian
Speaker 2: corruption that's in Minneapolis until everybody kind of forces his hand.
Speaker 2: He can't ignore it anymore. But he wanted the conflict,
Speaker 2: and so the opposition leader Edmondo Gonzalez had won the
Speaker 2: election in twenty twenty four, they had barred Machado from running.
Speaker 2: But Trump is not going to put either one of
Speaker 2: them in power. Those who if they want to say, well,
Speaker 2: this is about a legitimate government. They're not going to
Speaker 2: put the people that they say legitimately won, whether they
Speaker 2: did or not, I don't know who won the election.
Speaker 2: I don't really care. It's not my country. But the
Speaker 2: people they say one o, the people they say are
Speaker 2: not going to be allowed to run the country. How's
Speaker 2: that not regime change? Trump had publicly torpedoed the idea
Speaker 2: of Machado as an interim replacement, saying we'd be very
Speaker 2: tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have
Speaker 2: the support or the respect of the country. She didn't
Speaker 2: have the resport or the support or respect of Trump
Speaker 2: because of his ego. But then what about Gonzales. You're
Speaker 2: not going to put him in. Members of the Venezuelan
Speaker 2: opposition were stunned by Trump's brutal rejection of Machado. Her
Speaker 2: acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize itself was viewed as
Speaker 2: the ultimate sin by a president who was loudly coveted it,
Speaker 2: and her afusive praise for Trump at the time was
Speaker 2: inadequate to satisfy it. She shouldn't suck up enough to him.
Speaker 2: If she had turned it down and said I can't
Speaker 2: accept it because it's Donald Trump's should be president of
Speaker 2: Venezuela today, said a source for The Washington Post. So
Speaker 2: she went on Monday with Sean Hannity. They kicked off
Speaker 2: the segment by diving straight into the issue of succession,
Speaker 2: and he said, before running through a brief synopsis of
Speaker 2: her record. He said, having rose to prominence after winning
Speaker 2: the independently run opposition presidential primary with more than ninety
Speaker 2: two percent of the vote before Maduro then dictated that
Speaker 2: she be taken off the ballot. Machado had also dedicated
Speaker 2: her Nobel Prize quote to the suffering people of Venezuela
Speaker 2: and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause.
Speaker 2: Handy noted, he said, she has thanked President Trump for
Speaker 2: his support and committed his resolve to help the people
Speaker 2: of Venezuela many times publicly on X and elsewhere. So
Speaker 2: let's all kisses behind and Sean Hennedy is very experienced
Speaker 2: at doing that. Machado began by thanking Hanndy and Fox
Speaker 2: News for the incredible support you have given to us
Speaker 2: throughout this long journey for the cause of democracy of
Speaker 2: our people in Venezuela. After discussing how Maduro had banned
Speaker 2: her from the ballot, and the opposition had organized to
Speaker 2: support Gonzales and had defeated Maduro by a landslide. That's
Speaker 2: what they said. They said, it was incredible under extreme conditions,
Speaker 2: unfair conditions, and so Handy asked her about dedicating her
Speaker 2: Nobel prize to Trump. Handy said, it's not very it's
Speaker 2: not very usual, but people will dedicate the Nobel Prize
Speaker 2: to the leader of a different country and say publicly
Speaker 2: that he deserves this more than I do, said Hennedy.
Speaker 2: But you did that, Machado said, let me be very clear.
Speaker 2: As soon as I learned that we'd been awarded the
Speaker 2: Nobel Peace Prize, I dedicated to Trump because I knew
Speaker 2: at that point he deserved it, and a lot of people,
Speaker 2: most people said it was impossible to achieve what he'd
Speaker 2: just done on Saturday, January the third, and so I
Speaker 2: believe he deserved it. Bow scrape, bow scrape. Trump had
Speaker 2: proven to the world what he means, Machado continued, because
Speaker 2: January third will go down in history as a day
Speaker 2: justice defeated tyranny, a milestone that was a huge step
Speaker 2: for the Venezuelan people. For humanity, freedom and human dignity,
Speaker 2: except that we destroy the rule of law, the constitution,
Speaker 2: all the rest of it. And he said, did you
Speaker 2: at any point offer to give him the Nobel Peace Prize?
Speaker 2: Did that actually happen? I had read that somewhere. I
Speaker 2: wasn't sure if it was true. Machado said, well, it
Speaker 2: hasn't happened yet, but I would certainly love to be
Speaker 2: able to personally tell him that we believe the Venezuelan people.
Speaker 2: Because this is a prize of the Venezuelan people, we
Speaker 2: certainly want to give it to him and share it
Speaker 2: with him. Oh, please, let us do that. And so
Speaker 2: when we look at all the different fake narratives, whether
Speaker 2: it's people saying, well, now say it didn't work about fentanol,
Speaker 2: it doesn't work about the drug stuff. These people weren't
Speaker 2: coming to America that they blew up without a due process.
Speaker 2: And so let's come up with a different ration. Oh,
Speaker 2: let's make it about the elections stuff. Yeah, let's do
Speaker 2: make it about the elections, Alex. Let's talk about why
Speaker 2: Trump is not putting in the people. But Trump and
Speaker 2: the administration said were the legitimate winners. What about that contradiction?
Speaker 2: Talk about all of the CIA narrative, from Tom Clancy
Speaker 2: to Glenn Beck, and just understand that there was also
Speaker 2: a lot of garbage out there about the cheering people
Speaker 2: who said that with tears, remember that all the crowds
Speaker 2: with tears. Well, it turns out that that was AI slop.
Speaker 2: This went viral as well. This video here Venezuelans take
Speaker 2: to the streets to celebrate Maduro's downfall. There's an elderly
Speaker 2: lady crying, and there's many indications for a lot of
Speaker 2: people that this is simply AI.
Speaker 1: And it is.
Speaker 2: It's AI slop. This is new level propaganda. Folks. Hey,
Speaker 2: he finally fell. We are free, as they cry, Viva
Speaker 2: Venezuela libra, Thank you God, thank you. Yeah. All this
Speaker 2: stuff yeah goes on and on and on. And the
Speaker 2: person who helped to put that out, they went, they
Speaker 2: filtered this out with a big influencer, Wall Street Apes.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this guy was one of the
Speaker 2: people that they gave the Epstein documents to or not,
Speaker 2: but he's got just under six million people and he
Speaker 2: made this go viral, that fake AI video. And here's
Speaker 2: his comments. He said, Venezuelans are crying on their knees,
Speaker 2: thanking Trump and America for freeing them from Maduro. I
Speaker 2: added English subtitles so you can understand them. The people
Speaker 2: cry for their freedom. Thanks to the United States for
Speaker 2: freeing us the hero. Thank you Donald Trump. Well, it
Speaker 2: turns out it was all Ai. These people are manufacturing
Speaker 2: support and it's just another tool of propaganda and control,
Speaker 2: and they run it through these influencers, these propagandists, people
Speaker 2: like Wall Street apes. They go to m'za Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a great video, and he puts it up. Those impacted
Speaker 2: by the attacks, Venezuelan's living and working in Venezuela are
Speaker 2: resolutely opposed to the strikes, with thousands mobilizing in numerous
Speaker 2: Venezuelan cities to protest. The death toll from the U
Speaker 2: S strikes currently stands at eighty soldiers and civilians, a
Speaker 2: figure which will likely go up as the dust settles
Speaker 2: rites futurism. A November survey found that eighty six percent
Speaker 2: of Venezuelans preferred for Maduro to remain at a state
Speaker 2: to resolve the country's economic woes. Only eight percent favored
Speaker 2: the far right opposition party, which has support from Trump.
Speaker 2: So is that why he's not putting in Machado or
Speaker 2: Gonzales because maybe they don't have the support that they
Speaker 2: say that they did. But again, if you can't have
Speaker 2: it both ways, Oh yes you can. If you're Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: you can have it both ways. You can say that
Speaker 2: they won the election and Maduro stole it from him,
Speaker 2: so he's not the legitimate president. But they're not popular
Speaker 2: enough for us to put them in to run the government.
Speaker 2: How can both of those things be true, Well, they
Speaker 2: can both be true if you are someone who lies
Speaker 2: like Hillary Clinton and has a massive entourage of people
Speaker 2: who are going to push those lives for you. As
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, Dan Bongino, now he's out, he's
Speaker 2: going to come after all those black pillars, you know,
Speaker 2: all the people of blackpilling the public and telling them
Speaker 2: that Trump has betrayed them, that he's lied to them,
Speaker 2: that he's doing the wrong things. Shut up, get in line.
Speaker 2: We don't have time for this kind of stuff. We
Speaker 2: got midterms coming up in twenty twenty six, says Dan Bongino.
Speaker 2: He's going to go to war with the people who
Speaker 2: criticize Trump after he completely discredited himself. It'll be interesting
Speaker 2: to see if he's got an audience after he discredited
Speaker 2: himself with the Epstein lies that he sold. So only
Speaker 2: eight percent favored the far right opposition, which has the
Speaker 2: support of Trump. Even many Venezuelans who oppose Maduro are
Speaker 2: opposed to the US incursion incursion to oust him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you ask the American Trump supporters, Venezuelans are actually
Speaker 2: thrilled about the invasion. And we can see it right there.
Speaker 2: The evidence is the AI video that had more than
Speaker 2: five million views. Wall Street Apes shared the minute long
Speaker 2: video and pushed it thing he translated it for them.
Speaker 2: Of course, as anyone versed in the visual language of
Speaker 2: AI will quickly notice, it is a compilation of low
Speaker 2: quality AI clips. The people cry for their freedom. Thanks
Speaker 2: to the US for freeing us, said the narrator the hero.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Donald Trump. A US account with nearly one
Speaker 2: hundred and forty thousand followers, replied to the video from
Speaker 2: Wall Street Apes, which has got millions, said I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2: I want this freedom and the same joy for I
Speaker 2: Ron and the Iranian people. Well, I'm jealous too. I
Speaker 2: would like to have that kind of freedom here in
Speaker 2: America which we don't have. See that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to cheer the Republicans because they're not Democrats,
Speaker 2: and we're supposed to be really happy for the accepting
Speaker 2: of the tyranny that is being imposed on us by
Speaker 2: both the Republicans and the Democrats, because hey, we're not Venezuelan,
Speaker 2: so can I get that kind of freedom from the
Speaker 2: US government. The US Empire's war propaganda is getting much
Speaker 2: more sophisticated. You can bet the US government will use
Speaker 2: AI to justify as many more wars of aggression. Plenty
Speaker 2: more AI generated misinformation and surface following the attacks spread
Speaker 2: by conservative politicians like Vince Lago, mayor of Coral Gables, Florida.
Speaker 2: AI generated images of Maduro and various US custody centers
Speaker 2: began to circulate in the hours immediately after it s kidnapping,
Speaker 2: well before the authentic images were released by the Trump
Speaker 2: administration on his social media platform, The Ministry of Truth
Speaker 2: Ministry of Truth Social a Mexican politician and political journalists
Speaker 2: I'm Sorry, observed that the AI slop follows decades of
Speaker 2: efforts by the US government and media to manufacture consent
Speaker 2: among the Western masses for intervention in oil rich South
Speaker 2: American State, and of course that's what Patrick Byrne and
Speaker 2: Alex Jones were doing. Yeah, we should do this, you
Speaker 2: know we can win in South America. Let's go there
Speaker 2: for a when you know, we can kick those people around.
Speaker 2: They're there to manufacture consent for aggression in other countries.
Speaker 2: In two thousand and two, Venezuelan President Chavez was briefly
Speaker 2: ousted in what came to be called the world's first
Speaker 2: media coup, where lies set on TV paved the road.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be a surprise that in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: this new tech and these fake AI videos are being
Speaker 2: used for similar ends, because that's what they always do. Well,
Speaker 2: we've got a couple of comments here before we take
Speaker 2: a break. Sa Miller one two three, Beck and Jones
Speaker 2: are both very good actors. Their crying faces really pierce
Speaker 2: my heart, and they will both do this con job
Speaker 2: on you. Look, it's necessary. I see people say, well,
Speaker 2: you know, Alex told the truth about this and that,
Speaker 2: and I'm really grateful to him for That's how he
Speaker 2: gets your confidence. That's how a con game works. You
Speaker 2: know somebody's going to con you. What do they do
Speaker 2: if it's an investment con or something like that. They'll
Speaker 2: give you some things that are going to work out
Speaker 2: for you, and it very begin bit aginning of the
Speaker 2: con the person's telling the truth or the stuff that
Speaker 2: they're they make sure that you make money off of
Speaker 2: something or whatever, and then the back end comes and
Speaker 2: that's when they do the rug pull. That's what's called
Speaker 2: controlled oppositions. Classic Jerry Alatallo. As if it were already
Speaker 2: very difficult to battle and stop the corrupt, liar mass
Speaker 2: murder of fascist now warriors fighting the good fight have
Speaker 2: to battle fascist AI deceptions. That's right. The empowered solution says,
Speaker 2: I love that the Ministry of Truth social what this
Speaker 2: is about. And look, you know he sets up his
Speaker 2: own propaganda organization. That's what social media is. It's an
Speaker 2: organization that is set there to propagandize you. But even
Speaker 2: more importantly, as I've said so many times, one of
Speaker 2: the reasons why the intelligence agencies and geospatial intelligence is
Speaker 2: its own agency within the intelligence forces. There that's where
Speaker 2: James Clapper rose and it was the fastest growing part
Speaker 2: of the intelligence community that was put together in the
Speaker 2: late nineteen nineties. As they were putting together in coun
Speaker 2: tell their venture capital from openly supporting these various companies
Speaker 2: because it was going to give them so much control.
Speaker 2: And just look at the history of mass communication. You know,
Speaker 2: the printing press allowed them to do a lot with propaganda,
Speaker 2: the newspapers and things like that, you know, William Randolph
Speaker 2: Hurst saying, you know, let me know where the war
Speaker 2: is and I'll sell it for you, that type of thing.
Speaker 2: Then it got better when you had radio. Then you
Speaker 2: could bring in this kind of emotion, and adding video
Speaker 2: to it made it even more visceral. But with all
Speaker 2: of those things, whether it was newspaper, whether it was audio,
Speaker 2: whether it was audio and video, they didn't have a
Speaker 2: way to really tell how effective their propaganda was. They
Speaker 2: had polling and that could help them, but it didn't
Speaker 2: give them the kind of instantaneous feedback and the kind
Speaker 2: of detailed information that social media does. Social media can
Speaker 2: tell them people are paying attention. Does that get their
Speaker 2: attention to have crying Venezuelan's there are people believing it.
Speaker 2: Look at their comments. They even tell you this is
Speaker 2: a propagandist dream. Social media is and so that's why
Speaker 2: I call it truth social ministry of truth social Well,
Speaker 2: let's take a quick break, folks, and we will be
Speaker 2: right back. I promise. I'm not going to spend the
Speaker 2: entire time on this, but it is very important because
Speaker 2: of the precedents that are being set. It's a very
Speaker 2: dangerous time right now, the end of the fourth Turney
Speaker 2: and Trump is their guy for chaos and for the
Speaker 2: overturn of our civilization in our institutions. You're listening to
Speaker 2: the David Knight Show.
Speaker 17: APS Radio delivers multiple channels of music right to your
Speaker 17: mobile device. Get the APS Radio app today and listen
Speaker 17: wherever you go.
Speaker 2: Well, again, let's take a look and how this nation
Speaker 2: building is kind of work, and it's already starting to
Speaker 2: show some very ugly fractures as well as some very
Speaker 2: ugly plans. Trump said he's going to run the country,
Speaker 2: but there weren't any details about that. But now one
Speaker 2: of the interesting things that's coming out, and I mentioned
Speaker 2: this the very first day, he says, well, the old
Speaker 2: companies will go in and do that if they want
Speaker 2: to get reimbursed. Reimbursed, remember that I thought about it.
Speaker 2: So what kind of money is he going to give them? Well,
Speaker 2: we're starting to see the lines of that scam start
Speaker 2: to come into clarity here. Trump says the US government
Speaker 2: may reimburse oil companies for rebuilding Venezuela's infrastructure. He's going
Speaker 2: to have to bribe them because again, flooding the world
Speaker 2: with oil is counter to their interests, always has been.
Speaker 2: So they're going to get reimbursed by US or through revenue.
Speaker 2: And again, you know the very fact that you go back,
Speaker 2: he look in nineteen seventy nine, OPEC and all the
Speaker 2: rest of stuff. They had record profits with US. They
Speaker 2: liked the fact that oil got scarce and the price
Speaker 2: went high. You know, it's like the De Beer's family
Speaker 2: with diamonds. They want it to be rare and they
Speaker 2: want to have monopoly on it. They want it to
Speaker 2: be rare. And you know, the worst thing that happened
Speaker 2: to the diamond cartel is that people came up a
Speaker 2: very good ways to synthetically make real diamonds, not just
Speaker 2: cubic circonium. So you know, they're manufacturing instead of mining diamonds. Now,
Speaker 2: so the oil companies don't want to have a glut
Speaker 2: of the product that they're do. They want to have
Speaker 2: a monopoly on it, but they don't want to have
Speaker 2: a glut of their product out there, and so they're
Speaker 2: not on board with this. But just like Pizer Moderna,
Speaker 2: Trump is going to give them public money to do
Speaker 2: what is counter to the public interest, and he is
Speaker 2: going to let them profit off of this. Trump said
Speaker 2: that he believes the US oil industry could get expanded
Speaker 2: operations in Venezuela up and running in fewer than eighteen months.
Speaker 2: So now we've got another warp speed thing here. Maybe
Speaker 2: we call this operational warped corruption. A tremendous amount of
Speaker 2: money will have to be spent, he said, and the
Speaker 2: oil companies will spend it and then they'll get reimbursed
Speaker 2: by US or through revenue. So you look at the
Speaker 2: thing is that Trump is really focused on as he
Speaker 2: wants to run our country, run Venezuela. He's going to
Speaker 2: unleash our credit card, our national credit card for AI. Right,
Speaker 2: no expense is too great. We have to have something
Speaker 2: that is bigger than the Manhattan Project, bigger than the
Speaker 2: Space race. That's for AI. They get whatever they want,
Speaker 2: and we're going to clear the decks. Nobody is going
Speaker 2: to have any rules or regulations to get in their way.
Speaker 2: They can do whatever they want, and they're going to
Speaker 2: have a blank check, a blank credit card from the
Speaker 2: federal government, just like we did with the bioweapon shots
Speaker 2: that he's so proud of, and so now we're going
Speaker 2: to do that for the oil companies as well. Trump's
Speaker 2: that he believed that tapping Venezuela's oil reserves is going
Speaker 2: to reduce oil prices. Again, he's going to have to
Speaker 2: pay the oil companies because it will. He may be
Speaker 2: stupid economically, but he's not that stupid. He knows that's
Speaker 2: going to happen. Asked if the administration had any oil
Speaker 2: companies ahead of Saturday's military operation, he said no, but
Speaker 2: we've been talking to them about the concept of what
Speaker 2: if we did it. Well, other people who are on
Speaker 2: the inside, as we look at who was it that
Speaker 2: made four hundred thousand dollars in just a couple of
Speaker 2: hours on the polymarket prediction thing by predicting when the
Speaker 2: invasion was going to happen. Well, we know that the
Speaker 2: New York Times and the Washington Post had advanced information
Speaker 2: about the timing. People in the Pentagon, and the Trump
Speaker 2: administration had advanced information about the timing. A few people
Speaker 2: at the very top, and they're bragging about how this
Speaker 2: is kept so tightly and so closely, they should be
Speaker 2: able to find out it was that used that insider information.
Speaker 2: But also the oil companies said at the time, knew
Speaker 2: that this was going to happen. Knew that it was
Speaker 2: very very close to happening. So he's playing word games
Speaker 2: with thing. You know, we didn't exactly Tom we're going
Speaker 2: to do it at this particular time. He said, what
Speaker 2: if we did this, were gain so they know that
Speaker 2: it's going to happen. It's going to happen very soon.
Speaker 2: The old companies were absolutely aware that we were thinking
Speaker 2: about doing something, said Trump, But we didn't tell them
Speaker 2: we were going to do it. Trump told MBC News
Speaker 2: it was too soon to say whether he had personally
Speaker 2: spoken to top executives at America's three largest will producers
Speaker 2: Exon Mobile, Chevron, and Conico Phillips. He said, I speak
Speaker 2: to everybody well. Conco Phillips declined to comment, Chevron declined
Speaker 2: to comment, Exxon declined to comment. And so he is
Speaker 2: putting Energy Secretary Chris Wright in charge of this. He's
Speaker 2: going to give these people who don't want to talk
Speaker 2: about it massive blank checks. Modua's motorcycle thugs going door
Speaker 2: to door in a hunt for Trump supporters in Venezuela. Yeah,
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, this headline was at Info Wars.
Speaker 2: Fellow my chair laughing. This is former Navy seal. That's
Speaker 2: Matt Bracken issues emergency warning to Trump. A gorilla war
Speaker 2: and g R I L L A and Venezuela could
Speaker 2: be ten times worse than Vietnam. Well, look, what's not
Speaker 2: Matt Bracken's fault. That's whoever did that headline. There's the
Speaker 2: difference between a gorilla and a gay rilla, right or whatever?
Speaker 2: A gay rilla, I guess we.
Speaker 18: War in Venezuela could be bananas, that's right, really going
Speaker 18: ape over there? You know we have these I'm sick
Speaker 18: of all this monkey business.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you munk around and find out, right. So what
Speaker 2: mac Bracken was saying, he says, look, you know there's
Speaker 2: a lot of people there. There's jungles like Vietnam. This
Speaker 2: is not If they turned this into a war, a
Speaker 2: domestic asymmetric war, it's gonna be very difficult to win that.
Speaker 2: And he's absolutely right, But so a gorilla war. And
Speaker 2: it was actually picked up by another news aggregator who
Speaker 2: that's where I first saw it. News Aggregator picked it
Speaker 2: up and picked up the headline verbatim. They didn't change
Speaker 2: the headline either. They didn't know the news aggregator didn't,
Speaker 2: so they copied that headline that was their link. I thought,
Speaker 2: who in the world is so stupid? They call it
Speaker 2: a gorilla war, and sure enough it was info wars
Speaker 2: and their headline thing there. But I started laughing about
Speaker 2: thinking about some of these drug cartels. I think it
Speaker 2: was El Chapo who brought in some exotic African animals
Speaker 2: or what had a big cats, they had hippopotami and
Speaker 2: all the rest of this kind of stuff. So well,
Speaker 2: maybe they brought in gorillas and they're now roaming the
Speaker 2: jungles of it. I think that was the other guy,
Speaker 2: the other guy, which.
Speaker 18: I'm not I'm not up on all my drug dealer
Speaker 18: cartel leader names I forget exactly, but also famous for,
Speaker 18: like you said, releasing these hippopotamus and other African animals
Speaker 18: into the local fauna.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The se ultimately right. The Crocus Highway choked with cars,
Speaker 2: but far from typical rush hour traffic. A highway running
Speaker 2: alongside the National Park in Venezuela's capital has ground to
Speaker 2: a halt because masked men holding kalishnikovs are stopping drivers
Speaker 2: and demanding to search their phones and their cars. Is
Speaker 2: this Ice? Is this the TSA? Who is this? These
Speaker 2: gangs of armed men wearing masks are actually part of
Speaker 2: Maduro's militias. See we are We're not at all like Venezuela,
Speaker 2: are we except when we look exactly like them? Yeah,
Speaker 2: are armed guys. Our ICE agents do the same type
Speaker 2: of thing. These people call themselves collectivos. They're collectivists, right communists.
Speaker 2: In other words, they scoured the vehicles and hastily erected
Speaker 2: checkpoints following a government directive to root out Venezuelans who
Speaker 2: support the US's brazen capture of Maduro. Venezuelans have been
Speaker 2: left fearing what could come next as mobs of men
Speaker 2: dressed in civilian clothes with as salt rifles slung over
Speaker 2: their shoulders roam the streets. Again, this is just like ice.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, that's really funny that John
Speaker 2: Stewart had a comment, how much is like ice? He said,
Speaker 2: Maduro got reverse zed. They actually imported him instead of
Speaker 2: deporting him.
Speaker 17: Well, let's get right to the big story, ladies, and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: This weekend, President.
Speaker 8: And an elite team of Delta Force special operators removed
Speaker 8: a dangerous foreign dictator from power.
Speaker 12: Not that one.
Speaker 2: They're they're they're actually friends and Mohammed Ben Salmon business partners. No,
Speaker 2: not that easy. They're not booting either close. That's not okay.
Speaker 14: I believe these two have more of a heated rival
Speaker 14: Reva Kim Jongan.
Speaker 15: If you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: So it's not not that one. No, that's that one.
Speaker 2: No, that wasn't us.
Speaker 19: Now I'm talking about the now former president of Venezuela,
Speaker 19: nikol Is Maduro, who was reverse iced and imported.
Speaker 2: He was actually imported to a jail in Brooklyn. You know,
Speaker 2: we don't have enough people from South America and jails.
Speaker 2: All right, let's bring some in. Right. The future is uncertain.
Speaker 2: The Collectivos have weapons. The Colombian Gorilla is already here
Speaker 2: in Venezuela. So we don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Time will tell, said a sixty nine year old Venezuelan
Speaker 2: shop owner. The state of Emergency decree published on Monday
Speaker 2: ordered police to immediately begin a national search and capture
Speaker 2: of everyone involved in the promotion or support of the
Speaker 2: armed attack by the United States. You know, in the
Speaker 2: United States. Again, on the anniversary of January the sixth,
Speaker 2: we had some protesters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who are
Speaker 2: protesting this action. Again, they're different, their reasons for protesting
Speaker 2: are different than mine. I am not a fan of
Speaker 2: Maduro the communists in Venezuela, but I don't like the
Speaker 2: means that were used. However, these people were fans. I mean,
Speaker 2: they're Viva Lodever Lucia and all the rest of this stuff.
Speaker 2: And this woman is a twenty two year old preschool
Speaker 2: teacher who had been to Venezuela recently to show support.
Speaker 2: So they're very much a part of one tribe or
Speaker 2: the other. I'm not a part I'm not a Republican Democrat.
Speaker 2: I'm not an American government supporter. I'm not a Venezuelan
Speaker 2: government supporter. But look at what happened to these people
Speaker 2: as they're marching down the side of the street, and
Speaker 2: as soon as she's talking to the press, and immediately
Speaker 2: she gets arrested. Right as soon as she finishes the interview.
Speaker 20: Of this interview, you could see that police car. And
Speaker 20: now right here we're showing you video we have. Immediately
Speaker 20: after the interview finished, Plicta was arrested by two Grand
Speaker 20: Rapids police officers. You can see it in the video,
Speaker 20: and an officer tells Plicta that she is being arrested
Speaker 20: for obstructing a roadway and failure to obey a lawful
Speaker 20: command from a police officer. You can see how she's
Speaker 20: taken away in that car. She was issuing a number
Speaker 20: of messages about one of the US two free Maduro.
Speaker 20: But again she was taken away by police officers there,
Speaker 20: and you can see in this video officers were closely
Speaker 20: following this procession in downtown Grand Rapids. We have reached
Speaker 20: out to GRPD for more information about the arrest, but
Speaker 20: we have not heard a so far.
Speaker 2: And again, if you look at that video there, if
Speaker 2: the police were not blocking the one side of the
Speaker 2: cars could get around them if they weren't there. So
Speaker 2: it's the road was blocked with the police and the protesters,
Speaker 2: but without the police's presence there, the road would not
Speaker 2: have been blocked. I thought it was kind of interesting
Speaker 2: because you know, in January sixth, I didn't cover January
Speaker 2: sixth yesterday. I'm sick and tired of talking about it. Frankly,
Speaker 2: a lot of people who want to talk about January sixth.
Speaker 2: I talked about January the sixth before it happened. I
Speaker 2: warned people not to go because I could tell what
Speaker 2: was going They weren't going to change anything. There wasn't
Speaker 2: anything that was going to change. Stop sending your money
Speaker 2: to Alex Jones and Donald Trump because of your perceived
Speaker 2: election corruption, especially because it was Trump who gave us
Speaker 2: the vote by mail corruption that was all part of
Speaker 2: his policy. I mean, I'm here's what I think about
Speaker 2: all this stuff. In the long term. I think it
Speaker 2: was a deliberate move to hand power over to Biden
Speaker 2: for four years, to go back and forth, back and forth,
Speaker 2: so that everybody's got possible deniability. We didn't do it.
Speaker 2: The other side did it. So they didn't want to
Speaker 2: have Donald Trump, who is going to be their agent
Speaker 2: of chaos, completely discredited by both producing the vaccine and
Speaker 2: forcing people to take it, so they brought Biden in
Speaker 2: to force people to take it. Nevertheless, we go back
Speaker 2: and we look at January sixth. I have said along
Speaker 2: that even though I knew that was going to happen,
Speaker 2: I don't think it was justified for the Biden administration
Speaker 2: to imprison people for exercising what is specifically protected in
Speaker 2: the First Amendment, peacefully redressing your grievances with government, which
Speaker 2: is what those people were doing, except they were doing
Speaker 2: it for a cause that we don't agree with. Right. So,
Speaker 2: depending on where you are, you're not going to support
Speaker 2: the First Amendment. Right, you don't support the First Amendment
Speaker 2: for people who are protesting what Trump just did, if
Speaker 2: you support Trump, and you don't support the First Amendment
Speaker 2: for Trump supporters, if you oppose Trump. Right, this is
Speaker 2: where we are now. Neither side supports the principles of
Speaker 2: free speech, neither side supports the bill rights in the Constitution.
Speaker 2: And so I thought that was the January the sixth
Speaker 2: story yesterday. Yeah, I know, you got all these people,
Speaker 2: you know, Bannon and Alex Jones, anything, you're all about
Speaker 2: January six I've talked to people who were falsely in prison,
Speaker 2: wrongfully imprisoned because of January the sixth, and they still
Speaker 2: don't get it. They still don't understand how they were betrayed,
Speaker 2: how they were left to go to prison because Trump
Speaker 2: was afraid to give them a preemptive pardon. He thought
Speaker 2: that would be damaging to him. So he left them
Speaker 2: in the lurch with all of that stuff. But anyway
Speaker 2: back to this, so they ordered the police there in
Speaker 2: Venezuela to do what Trump is wearing police here to do.
Speaker 2: Search people's phones, find out what their politics are, if
Speaker 2: they're trying to come into the country, get their social
Speaker 2: media profile, get their DNA, all the rest of this stuff.
Speaker 2: In many ways, I think we are worse than the
Speaker 2: totalitarian communists there in terms of civil liberties. One Venezuelan
Speaker 2: wish to remain anonymous, said she would no longer leave
Speaker 2: her house of their phone over fears it could be
Speaker 2: scoured for Antimduro texts or photographs, which could lead to
Speaker 2: her imprisonment. So yeah, like here, you know, don't put
Speaker 2: something on there that's anti Trump. You might get singled
Speaker 2: out by board patrol or TSA or whatever. The paramilitaries
Speaker 2: have already arrested fourteen journalists and media workers, eleven of
Speaker 2: them from foreign news outlets. For hours they were arrested
Speaker 2: before releasing some of them. The whereabouts of other journalists
Speaker 2: are unknown. The presence of the collectivos, armed men who
Speaker 2: ride around on motorcycles and are used as an unofficial
Speaker 2: government arm of repression suggests that Maduro loyalists are desperately
Speaker 2: attempting to maintain their grip on the country. And we
Speaker 2: just say, you think you're going to rebuild the oil
Speaker 2: industry there, You may want to pay attention to all
Speaker 2: the drone strikes on oil refineries in Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 2: They are very easy targets. Now these are not oil
Speaker 2: refineries that they have. There was going to be oil
Speaker 2: drilling wells. You remember the movie, I had to look
Speaker 2: it up as nineteen sixty eight Hell Fighters. John Wayne
Speaker 2: played this guy who was the world's expert on putting
Speaker 2: out all well fires because they're very difficult to stop.
Speaker 2: His name was Redded Air, and although they gave the
Speaker 2: character a different name, it was very clear that that's
Speaker 2: who he was, and he was a consultant to the film.
Speaker 2: But that's a very difficult thing to put out. It's
Speaker 2: very easy fire to start at an oil well. It's
Speaker 2: very difficult to put that out. So if these people
Speaker 2: want to conduct a guerrilla campaign, that's going to be
Speaker 2: the easiest thing in the world. You go there for
Speaker 2: the oil, they can make sure you don't get the oil.
Speaker 2: They said they would not allow Trump and his US
Speaker 2: pigs to come in and plunder the country's natural resources.
Speaker 2: Another video shows the Interior Minister dios Dado Cabbella posing
Speaker 2: with a crowd of armed militias. They shouted, always loyal,
Speaker 2: there were traders. Mister Cabello has a fifty million dollar
Speaker 2: bounty on his head from the US, allegedly for drug trafficking.
Speaker 2: He largely controls the collectivos. They said, there's enough people
Speaker 2: here to fight for this revolution, to fight for the motherland.
Speaker 2: One person that identified himself as Freddie Rodriguez as a
Speaker 2: member of a network set up by Maduro in twenty
Speaker 2: nineteen to control protests. They called there the Coupas by
Speaker 2: the way, as I said before the Honduran president, that
Speaker 2: Trump just pardoned for drug trafficking, somebody who was arrested
Speaker 2: by his own government, extradited by his own government because
Speaker 2: of American charges. I'm fine with that. Well, again, the
Speaker 2: drug war is not effective, it's not pragmatic, and it
Speaker 2: is something that has been used, as I said, to
Speaker 2: feed the addiction for power of our government. The drug
Speaker 2: war has been used as the tip of the spear
Speaker 2: to destroy rule of law and constitution and bill wrights.
Speaker 2: It has been the tip of the spear for government
Speaker 2: corruption of law enforcement and the courts as well. On
Speaker 2: Monday morning, most shops and businesses had reopened in Caracas,
Speaker 2: and the long queues of panicked Venezuelan's trying to buy
Speaker 2: provisions had dissipated. Police and intelligence officers lined the streets
Speaker 2: at the center of Caracas, the two main avenues closed.
Speaker 2: As Rodriguez Delci Rodriguez but as Vice President, was sworn
Speaker 2: in by her brother. She said, I come with sorrow
Speaker 2: for the suffering inflicted on the Venezuelan people following an
Speaker 2: illegitimate military aggression against our homeland. I come with sorrow
Speaker 2: for the kidnapping of two heroes. Her comments were exactly
Speaker 2: opposite of what she had said on Sunday, when she
Speaker 2: said that she had quote invited the US government to
Speaker 2: work together on an agenda of cooperation in the wake
Speaker 2: of Trump warning that she would pay a very high
Speaker 2: price if she did not do so do whatever he
Speaker 2: told her to. So again she's got to walk this
Speaker 2: type rope. On the one hand, there's all these collectivos,
Speaker 2: these gorillas, gorillas on motorcycles, so they're on the one hand,
Speaker 2: and they're very close there, and there's been a lot
Speaker 2: of gunshots going off, and of course they've tamped that down,
Speaker 2: and the Ministry of Truth there has said that that
Speaker 2: was police at unauthorized drones, and so I guess we
Speaker 2: can believe that anyway, the country's constitution requires an election
Speaker 2: within thirty days. If the president becomes permanently unavailable, I
Speaker 2: would say that he is unavailable and is going to
Speaker 2: be unavailable for at least thirty days, perhaps quite a
Speaker 2: bit longer. The trial is going to be months away.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, we had the arraignment right away,
Speaker 2: but the trial is going to be quite some time.
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court, Howard declared mister Maduro's absence to be
Speaker 2: a temporary one, and such a scenario, the vice president
Speaker 2: takes over from up to ninety days, it can be
Speaker 2: extended up to six months. But again, the people, but
Speaker 2: the Trump administration say won the election, Maria Karina Machado
Speaker 2: and who is the opposition leader, as well as the
Speaker 2: guy who actually was allowed to be on the ballot,
Speaker 2: and according to the US government and other governments who
Speaker 2: actually won Gonzales, neither of them are being considered by
Speaker 2: Trump for running the country, for being president. Rodriguez, as
Speaker 2: you know, is one of the main architectures, are architects
Speaker 2: of torture, persecution, corruption, and narco trafficking, said Ms. Machado.
Speaker 2: She is a main ally and a liaison of Russia, China, Iran,
Speaker 2: certainly not an individual who could be trusted by international investors,
Speaker 2: and she is really rejected by the Venezuelan people. Well, again,
Speaker 2: this is going to be you know, this person's a Democrat.
Speaker 2: You know you can't trust them. I've got my problems
Speaker 2: with democrats, that's absolutely for sure. But look, this is
Speaker 2: just more of this tribal Well you have to go
Speaker 2: after Venezuela because they're allied with Iran and China and
Speaker 2: Russia and so forth. So everybody that's out there allied
Speaker 2: with them. I guess they're now fair game to be
Speaker 2: attacked and invaded and have their country taken over. Is
Speaker 2: that right? Really what we want from the American government,
Speaker 2: That's what Glenn Beck is selling you. I wanted to
Speaker 2: change in government because these people have done a lot
Speaker 2: of damage to the country. Set a shopkeeper. They forgot
Speaker 2: they were public servants. They thought they owned the country,
Speaker 2: but now we're at the same point. He's left. Another
Speaker 2: person has replaced him. Yeah, just like the who said,
Speaker 2: meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Most
Speaker 2: international leaders don't agree with what happened, But it happened,
Speaker 2: said another person. We saw it coming, everybody saw it coming,
Speaker 2: but nobody imagined it would happen like this so violent.
Speaker 2: Some wished for it, others not. But then there's not
Speaker 2: one country in the world that can interfere in the
Speaker 2: government and say the oil is mine. No, that is
Speaker 2: a lie. This belongs to the Venezuelan people. But that
Speaker 2: is exactly what Trump is saying. You know, they took
Speaker 2: our oil. That's our oil. While she pushed back at
Speaker 2: Trump's suggestion that he would run Vezuela, others were accepting
Speaker 2: of the current situation. Fifty nine year old sports coach said, honestly,
Speaker 2: I think this should not have happened. He should be
Speaker 2: in his country governing his country. All I wish for
Speaker 2: Venezuela is for things to be calm. We've been through
Speaker 2: so much already. I know that we weren't well, but
Speaker 2: emotionally and physically we were more at peace. And again,
Speaker 2: this is the way it always is, is that these
Speaker 2: people have their own political objectives domestically or their own
Speaker 2: geopolitical objectives internationally. We're the ones who suffer the consequences
Speaker 2: while they play their games domestically and internationally. The thought
Speaker 2: of Trump deciding what comes next for Venezuelan's as opposed
Speaker 2: to holding fair elections has left many concerned. I don't
Speaker 2: agree with Trump what Trump said, and he said he
Speaker 2: was coming to run our country. I want a transition.
Speaker 2: I want an election, said the shopkeeper. If the majority
Speaker 2: of people are in favor of Dulci, fine, if it's transparent,
Speaker 2: will recognize the results peacefully. If the cha Chavismo win,
Speaker 2: then okay. But if the opposition wins, they have to
Speaker 2: recognize their defeat. But again, Trump's not recognizing their defeat,
Speaker 2: is he He wants to put the woman who is
Speaker 2: on the side of the political party that overthrew the election.
Speaker 2: He wants her to run the country for him. So
Speaker 2: there's chaos, there's gunfire, there's explosions. This is already starting
Speaker 2: to look like the asymmetric warfare that we've seen in
Speaker 2: other countries, and it's going to be very difficult for
Speaker 2: them to extract a volatile product like oil in the
Speaker 2: midst of a guerrilla war, in the midst of a
Speaker 2: civil war, and civil war fears are growing as a
Speaker 2: heavily armed far left militias take over the streets of Caracas.
Speaker 2: This is what we see with every CIA occupation, every
Speaker 2: CIA coup, every Pentagon occupation, all got a plan until
Speaker 2: they get punched in the face. Right, This is the
Speaker 2: punch in the face that is our a. You can
Speaker 2: see the fist bawling up. They haven't landed one yet,
Speaker 2: but it's going to happen. So again, they have their
Speaker 2: own ministry of disinformation that is tamping everything down. And
Speaker 2: this is from a retired Colonel Douglas McGregor. He said,
Speaker 2: you know, Panama and Grenada. People will look at that
Speaker 2: and say, well, look at the precedents that we had
Speaker 2: with Panama and Grenada. He said, that's very different. He said,
Speaker 2: Panama and Grenada were minuscule countries compared with Venezuela. They
Speaker 2: had very small populations. We had a long term presence
Speaker 2: in Panama. We worked closely with the Panamanian Defense forces there.
Speaker 2: We had a lot of opportunities to exercise influence there,
Speaker 2: such as as we did by the way, when we
Speaker 2: had crises and the Philippines. Because of our long time
Speaker 2: in the Philippines, we're able to influence how comes there
Speaker 2: as well. But I don't think we can do that
Speaker 2: in Venezuela. We don't have that level of influence. The
Speaker 2: second thing is that I think a lot of people
Speaker 2: underestimate the extent to which people of Venezuela take pride
Speaker 2: in their country. People may not love Maduro, but they're
Speaker 2: not going to be very grateful for the US influence
Speaker 2: to shove some puppet down their throats. Yeah, I would
Speaker 2: not want to be the puppet.
Speaker 11: That is.
Speaker 2: Seen as a puppet for Trump in Venezuela. But I
Speaker 2: think the next place that Trump is going to go
Speaker 2: is going to be Colombia. As I said before, you
Speaker 2: got the guy there who was taunting Trump, come and
Speaker 2: get me, I'm waiting and all the resta. Well, you know,
Speaker 2: that puts him right at the top of the list,
Speaker 2: because again this is about the ego, the massive, out
Speaker 2: of size ego of Donald Trump. It'll make him next.
Speaker 2: I think even Cuba is going to take a back
Speaker 2: seat with all this stuff. He's even said, well, you know,
Speaker 2: Cuba is going to fall in this own without oil
Speaker 2: from Venezuela. Greenland can wait. They keep making threats against Greenland,
Speaker 2: but it can wait. Ron that's going to be whenever Netta,
Speaker 2: who wants it to happen. Trump will take orders from him,
Speaker 2: So that's really up to net Yahoo. But I think
Speaker 2: that Columbia may be next on the list as the
Speaker 2: top priority after the taunting of Trump. I look at this,
Speaker 2: I wonder was this guy high on cocaine when he
Speaker 2: mean statements get me, you can't touch me. I don't
Speaker 2: accept your assassinations or your missiles, so you don't have
Speaker 2: to accept them. They're coming anyway, whether you accept it
Speaker 2: or not. He says, they don't threaten me.
Speaker 18: They don't usually come with a return to send her
Speaker 18: option on those, you know, not waiting for your signature
Speaker 18: for acceptance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he says, come in threaten He says, don't threaten me.
Speaker 2: I'll wait for you right here. You want. I don't
Speaker 2: accept invasions, missiles or assassinations. So I think he's going
Speaker 2: to say some of that. And it's just insane when
Speaker 2: you look at the double standards of the Trump administration
Speaker 2: and the idea that the old companies are going to
Speaker 2: go in and be able to rebuild this and guess
Speaker 2: who's going to pay the price? You and I higher taxes,
Speaker 2: more debt. The only good thing about all this stuff
Speaker 2: is that we do have a way that we can
Speaker 2: play this if we invest in gold, because we can
Speaker 2: see just how horrible Trump is going to be for peace,
Speaker 2: for prosperity, for inflation, and for the US dollar. That's
Speaker 2: the way. The only thing really that you can do
Speaker 2: with this information. Because we have no control over geopolitics
Speaker 2: or some of these other issues, we can organize at
Speaker 2: the local level. All we can do is speak out,
Speaker 2: and if they don't like you speaking out, you might
Speaker 2: get arrested if you're in a place like Grand Rampids, Michigan.
Speaker 2: Who knows. We'll have to see. Trump is saying this
Speaker 2: is completely different from Iraq. How well he told Joe Scarborough,
Speaker 2: he said. Scarborough said, so, how is this different from Iraq?
Speaker 2: Why would we think that this is going to work?
Speaker 2: And he said, well, the difference is Bush didn't keep
Speaker 2: the oil. We're going to keep the oil. He said
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen, I said we should have kept the oil.
Speaker 2: It caused a lot of controversy. Well, we should have
Speaker 2: kept the oil and we're going to rebuild their broken
Speaker 2: down oil facilities. This time we're going to keep the oil.
Speaker 2: So I guess that's the difference. Right. We were lied
Speaker 2: into the Iraq war, and Trump promoted the liar in
Speaker 2: chief of all that stuff, CIA director Gina Haspell. He
Speaker 2: made her as CIA director. She was one who produced
Speaker 2: the lies, using torture, sold the lies, and so yeah,
Speaker 2: it is just like Iraq, except this time we're going
Speaker 2: to be more mercenary about it. And I guess that's
Speaker 2: the problem, you know, when I look at the military
Speaker 2: and all this back and forth, and then we'll talk
Speaker 2: a little bit about that. You know, Mark Kelly and
Speaker 2: this retired CIA person, they are you know, they were
Speaker 2: playing a game. What they said was right, And again,
Speaker 2: the easiest thing in the world for war Pete and
Speaker 2: Trump to say would be, well, we're not giving illegal
Speaker 2: orders and we're not going to give illegal orders, but
Speaker 2: they didn't say that. They took the position that if
Speaker 2: they give you illegal orders, you will follow those illegal orders.
Speaker 2: And then Kelly and the CIA Slotkin came back and said, well,
Speaker 2: I can't think of anything that Trump's done this illegal. Seriously,
Speaker 2: you can't think of anything he's done killing people on
Speaker 2: the high seas without even knowing if they've got drugs,
Speaker 2: just on suspicion of it. That is, that's not illegal.
Speaker 2: It's clearly illegal, and they wouldn't say that. And we
Speaker 2: know why they wouldn't say it, because they have been
Speaker 2: a part of following illegal orders like that, and because
Speaker 2: they want the federal government to have the power to
Speaker 2: issue illegal orders. So it's just a game to tweak Trump,
Speaker 2: and I say a pox on both of them, A
Speaker 2: pox on Trump, a pox on Mark Kelly, and a
Speaker 2: fox on Exat because now he is trying to make
Speaker 2: recriminations against Kelly for speaking out. You have the right
Speaker 2: to You not only have the obligation to not follow
Speaker 2: illegal orders, but you have the First Amendment right, especially
Speaker 2: as a senator, you have the right to talk about
Speaker 2: the fact that people need to consider whether or not
Speaker 2: these orders are illegal. It's always been my concern when
Speaker 2: we went to a professional army, are they going to
Speaker 2: become mercenaries? I think we know so. Mess dot Org
Speaker 2: says there's three key lessons from this Venezuelan intervention. Number One,
Speaker 2: the Constitution means nothing. They said, well, we've known this
Speaker 2: for a long time. Right. The US bombing of Caracas
Speaker 2: reiterates three key foundations of American foreign policy. It exposed
Speaker 2: a true nature of US foreign policy. None of this
Speaker 2: is news for anybody who's been paying attention. But number one,
Speaker 2: we can see from this that the Constitution means nothing.
Speaker 2: Number two, we see that international law doesn't apply to
Speaker 2: the US or to Israel. It applies to everybody else,
Speaker 2: but not to US. And number three, we see that
Speaker 2: democracy and sovereignty mean nothing to the government of the
Speaker 2: United States. And that's really being driven home with all
Speaker 2: this talk about Greenland as well. You know, the only
Speaker 2: silver lining about the Greenland stuff is the fact that
Speaker 2: we may be able to get out of NATO. He
Speaker 2: may blow up NATO, that entangling alliance, which is one
Speaker 2: of many things that we've done leaving, as Pat Buchannan said,
Speaker 2: trip wires all over the world to drag us into war.
Speaker 2: It'd be good if we got out of that. But
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. But KWD sixty eight ninety nine,
Speaker 2: Trump gas winning that poor shopkeeper doesn't understand. Venezuela will
Speaker 2: be the best golden age. It is five D Venezuelan chess. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: Guard Goldsmith. The Venezuelan South American Central American militarism from
Speaker 2: the US comes in tandem with his thirst for Greenland
Speaker 2: and his overthrow of Syria, oil trade routes, strangling of
Speaker 2: Russia China. It's all very troubling. I see Tulsa Gabbard
Speaker 2: is showing more of her hypocrisy, applauding Trump's attack on
Speaker 2: Venezuela and unconstitutional kidnapping of the Maduros. Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 2: know she'd rained silent or she's actually cheering it. But
Speaker 2: she's actually cheering it. It's just a couple of months
Speaker 2: ago that she was against regime change. And look, if
Speaker 2: you want to play this tribal game, you want to say, well,
Speaker 2: we should go take over any country that is friendly,
Speaker 2: both Iran and Russia and China. I want to play
Speaker 2: that game. That is a prescription for World War three.
Speaker 2: That's where this ultimately leads. It's not just overthrowing the
Speaker 2: rule of law domestically and internationally and doing and having
Speaker 2: no principles about wars drag us into World War three.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. You are listening to.
Speaker 17: The David Knight Show, Elvis the Beetle and the sweet
Speaker 17: Sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies channel at
Speaker 17: APS radio dot com.
Speaker 2: Well, as I said before, Dan Bongino is now going
Speaker 2: back to UH commenting after essentially I think destroying his
Speaker 2: credibility with this Epsteine stuff. He returns to MAGO with
Speaker 2: a new mission and a razor sharp sharp warning. He's
Speaker 2: calling out the black pill crew that's trying to poison
Speaker 2: the movement with negativity and infighting. That's right. Do not
Speaker 2: criticize Trump, do not question him. Fall in line. Do
Speaker 2: what I say. You know, be like Bongino if you
Speaker 2: need to lie on the guy's behalf. That's what Ben
Speaker 2: Dan Bongino did right. Neo cohns and media gatekeepers are
Speaker 2: profiting from the drama because they need MAGA divided and weak.
Speaker 18: Also, I got to say, not believing Trump as a
Speaker 18: hero is only a black pill if you were putting
Speaker 18: all your hope in man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 18: You know, I don't believe in Trump. I don't believe
Speaker 18: in any of these politicians. I'm hopeful, there's always hope.
Speaker 18: I don't put my hope in men, and no one should.
Speaker 18: None of these people are going to save you.
Speaker 2: We're not without hope, without hope and Trump. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: again that's his comment. Neil mccons and media gatekeepers are
Speaker 2: profiting from this drama. So again you know so, don't
Speaker 2: you know? Is Trump breaking his commitment his cash Batel
Speaker 2: and Bongino, are they lying? Are they doing cover ups
Speaker 2: or whatever? Shut up, don't talk about that. Fall in line.
Speaker 2: Bongino left the FBI, walk back into MAGA, found the
Speaker 2: movement reeling with division, negativity, and insiders trashing Trump. I
Speaker 2: don't see that. I see these people still fawning over him.
Speaker 2: I see people who are putting America last, people who
Speaker 2: put character last. People like Bongino, people like Cash, Cash
Speaker 2: Battel just rolling in the power of privilege and his
Speaker 2: special plane flights, taking a golf trip. Take the FBI
Speaker 2: jet to and another guy take this gigantic jet on
Speaker 2: a trip to Scotland to play golf. It's disgusting to
Speaker 2: see how these people have been seduced by the trappings
Speaker 2: of power.
Speaker 18: Also, I got to say this, I'm sure I've said
Speaker 18: something like this before, but if that's all they did,
Speaker 18: and Cash was just out there wasting the FBI's time
Speaker 18: and money around in a jet, if he was using
Speaker 18: all of their resources to do that. I would say
Speaker 18: he's a great hire. If he was monopolizing the FBI's
Speaker 18: time to keep him flying from golf course to golf course,
Speaker 18: that would be the best director we've had.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how long.
Speaker 2: Keep him busy, keep him from make him leave us alone. Right,
Speaker 2: So again he's saying, hey, look, we got midterms coming
Speaker 2: up this year. If you're still whining and complaining about
Speaker 2: what's happening, we have three quarters of the term still left,
Speaker 2: so he says, so please find the exits. Is that
Speaker 2: why he'd left? We got three quarters that we've got
Speaker 2: to get some stuff done. He himself left after the
Speaker 2: first quarter. I think he's trying to protect himself. He
Speaker 2: found the exit. I found the exit a long time ago,
Speaker 2: and I think it'll be interesting to see if people
Speaker 2: pay any attention to him after how he thoroughly discredited
Speaker 2: himself with all this Epstein stuff. He says, I want
Speaker 2: to warn the haters and the zeros, this isn't our first,
Speaker 2: our second, or our tenth. Rodeo says the guy who
Speaker 2: pushed the JAB in order to flatter Trump so that
Speaker 2: Trump would help him. He knew better. Dan Bongino knew better,
Speaker 2: and he pushed the JAB As a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: he said, I'm not taking that stuff, and then to
Speaker 2: keep his job on the radio, he took it, and
Speaker 2: then he pushed the job on other people. With Trump,
Speaker 2: he said, I started in this movement as a candidate
Speaker 2: for the Tea Party movement. I've never been a fan
Speaker 2: of the Tea Party movement. It never had any discernible principles.
Speaker 2: It was always too vague. Tea Party was about taxed
Speaker 2: enough already, Okay, so what do you want to do.
Speaker 2: Do you want to reduce spending or reduce taxes? And
Speaker 2: what are you going to cut? They never had any answers.
Speaker 18: Too much tea, not enough teeth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. There was no teeth in the Tea Party.
Speaker 2: They didn't know. They didn't have an agenda for what
Speaker 2: should be done.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 2: No, they didn't want to stand behind something like individual
Speaker 2: liberty or the institution. They didn't care about any of that stuff.
Speaker 2: It was kind of a pragmatic. Well, I think we
Speaker 2: kind of see this from citizens against the government waste,
Speaker 2: you know, let's make government more efficient. I never supported that,
Speaker 2: just like I didn't support doge I quite frankly, don't
Speaker 2: want an efficient government. It's bad enough when it's inefficient.
Speaker 2: Let's keep it as inefficient as possible. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of waste and corruption, but pretty much everything the
Speaker 2: government does is illegal and wasteful. So why are we
Speaker 2: going to focus on just a couple of things that's
Speaker 2: missing the big picture that's there.
Speaker 18: So, yeah, you really don't want to focus on efficiency
Speaker 18: and get it very efficient while it's corrupt. You deal
Speaker 18: with the corruption and then you can work on efficiency.
Speaker 2: That's right. But here's I think the most interesting statement
Speaker 2: he said, considering what he did with the Epstein documents.
Speaker 2: He said he vowed to bring the American people the truth.
Speaker 2: We're going to get the answers that we all deserve,
Speaker 2: says the guy who lied to you about the Epstein documents.
Speaker 2: Truly amazing, Lukadowski says. So, after horribly losing the fight
Speaker 2: against the deep state and covering up the Epstein crimes,
Speaker 2: now Bongino has decided that he's actually going to fight now.
Speaker 2: But he's going to go after independent media that criticizes Trump.
Speaker 2: That's where he's going to go. Well, we talked about
Speaker 2: regime change and wars and the guy who covets the
Speaker 2: peace Prize. You know, twenty six began with three solid
Speaker 2: days of airstrikes in Somalia. Hey, but don't complain, right,
Speaker 2: we talk about grifters, Hey, bongino once you talk about
Speaker 2: the Trump family and how much money they have made.
Speaker 2: But there is as one person says, Thomas Massey says,
Speaker 2: oh sorry, Trump says this about Massy. He says, there's
Speaker 2: a sickness with Massey. There's something wrong with Massy. Is
Speaker 2: Trump allowed to criticize other Republicans? Yeah, it's not a problem.
Speaker 2: It's only a problem if you criticize Trump. He can
Speaker 2: criticize and trash anybody that he wants. Anybody that complains
Speaker 2: about the bankrupting of America by Trump and Biden and
Speaker 2: others like that, the total disregard for the budget deficit.
Speaker 2: You complain about that, you become public enemy number one.
Speaker 2: That was the first issue that he had with Massey.
Speaker 2: This is not the first time that he's tried to
Speaker 2: primary Massy out. And so Massy said that Trump's interest
Speaker 2: in the country was primarily about oil and regime changed
Speaker 2: weeks before this happened. And of course we all knew that,
Speaker 2: but Trump loves Mike Johnson, effusively praised him and remarks
Speaker 2: that a GPE retreat while he trashed Thomas Massey. Well,
Speaker 2: the America First lie. How the US loots nations, installs
Speaker 2: dictators and calls itocracy. This is from Freethought Project. They
Speaker 2: told us they were restoring order in Argentina, they were
Speaker 2: fighting terror in the Middle East. Instead, they created a
Speaker 2: blueprint for mass murder, economic theft, and the perpetual state
Speaker 2: of war. The headlines are screaming about Operation Southern Spear,
Speaker 2: a US naval brocade and subsequent airstrike campaign. But those
Speaker 2: of us who've been paying attention to history, this is
Speaker 2: all very familiar. The Uniparty, the two headed beast, and
Speaker 2: quite frankly, this is even more than the Uniparty. This
Speaker 2: is the CIA deep state that is running the same
Speaker 2: scripts that they have done over and over again. And
Speaker 2: we know how these things have always happened in the past.
Speaker 2: But let's take a look at Mike Johnson, the guy
Speaker 2: that Trump loves, who does everything that Trump wants. He
Speaker 2: has become a disgusting little puppet. Everybody can see it.
Speaker 2: And now with a straight face is the headline with
Speaker 2: a great face. Mike Johnson says that the US ouster
Speaker 2: of Maduro was not regime change.
Speaker 21: This is not a regime change. This is a demand
Speaker 21: for change of behavior by a regime. The interim government
Speaker 21: is stood up.
Speaker 2: Now spoken like a p americating lawyer.
Speaker 21: That they will be able to to correct their action.
Speaker 21: They cannot participate with narco terrorists and very dangerous international
Speaker 21: criminal organizations that harm and target Americans frankly, and traffic
Speaker 21: all of these dangerous drugs into our country, that do
Speaker 21: all this great harm to our country. They cannot continue
Speaker 21: that activity. We have a way of persuasion because their
Speaker 21: oil exports, as you know, have been seized, and I
Speaker 21: think that that will bring the country to a new
Speaker 21: governance in very short order. So we don't expect troops
Speaker 21: on the ground, We don't expect direct involvement in any
Speaker 21: other way beyond just coercing the new the interim government
Speaker 21: to to to get that going.
Speaker 2: So, what are you gonna do when they blow up
Speaker 2: your oil refineries? There are your oil fields, not refineries,
Speaker 2: but the oil fields there. What are you going to
Speaker 2: do about that? Then you're going to send in troops?
Speaker 2: Right at the bottom line, how can you say that,
Speaker 2: and of course it's very important for Marco Ruby and
Speaker 2: others to say he's not the president. He's a strong man, right,
Speaker 2: he's not ahead of state. We didn't kidnap ahead of state.
Speaker 2: Well you did. Unless you want to say that the
Speaker 2: elections are illegitimate, you're going to then put in Gonzales
Speaker 2: or Machado. No, they're not going to do that either.
Speaker 2: They want to have their lie and have you eat
Speaker 2: it too. That's uh. You know, you can't say that
Speaker 2: the legitimate government is the one that you know, we support.
Speaker 2: He overthrew the election and then not put the legitimate
Speaker 2: government in. But he's also saying that it's not a
Speaker 2: war either.
Speaker 21: With regard to the war powers and the compliance with
Speaker 21: federal law.
Speaker 2: We're not going to get in the way of Trump.
Speaker 21: We do not have US armed forces in Venezuela and
Speaker 21: we are not occupying that. The Constitution gives Congress the
Speaker 21: power to declare war. That is true, but it also
Speaker 21: bests the President of the United States with vast authorities.
Speaker 21: As commander in chief. Under Article two of the Constitution,
Speaker 21: the president has the authority, as all presidents do, to
Speaker 21: deploy military forces to address threats to the US and
Speaker 21: to enforce US law.
Speaker 11: That is what happened here.
Speaker 21: The War Powers Act states that notification should be made
Speaker 21: to Congress within forty eight hours following the initiation of hostilities.
Speaker 21: As we've noted, and I've made many public comments, that
Speaker 21: happen almost instantaneously here. My first call was at four
Speaker 21: am by Secretary.
Speaker 2: Of State Rubia.
Speaker 21: Despite the claims by some of my colleagues, under the
Speaker 21: War Powers Act, there is no requirement for prior Congressional
Speaker 21: approval or prior notification, and in fact, in this case,
Speaker 21: the intelligence was so sensitive the conditions.
Speaker 11: Had to be perfect.
Speaker 21: There was no predetermination of when exactly it would occur.
Speaker 21: And if there had been prior notice, even assembling the
Speaker 21: Gang of Eight, for example, during the December holiday, it
Speaker 21: would have set off alerts and very likely might have
Speaker 21: been a leaked situation which could have caused great damage
Speaker 21: to our forces, our troops there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, even if if you have depending on
Speaker 2: ordering lots of pizza, I mean, you know, that could
Speaker 2: be a tip off to these people. Everything's going to
Speaker 2: be secret for national security. We can't tell you, We
Speaker 2: can't tell Congress. Let's just forget about all that stuff.
Speaker 2: That's what Mike Johnson is trying to tell you. He
Speaker 2: is just a shameful sycophant for Trump. And look at others,
Speaker 2: Pam Bondi, especially when we look at Bongino, we're not
Speaker 2: allowed to criticize the Epstein file cover up. You realize
Speaker 2: that it may be years before these things are released.
Speaker 2: At the current pace that they're going they have released
Speaker 2: since the deadline that they were supposed to release. They
Speaker 2: had to they weren't going to release these at all,
Speaker 2: but because of the actions and Congress, they had a
Speaker 2: December the nineteenth deadline. At that point in time, they
Speaker 2: released just over twelve thousand files, and yet they're saying
Speaker 2: that there are more than two million documents. So at
Speaker 2: this pace, we're looking at something that is going to
Speaker 2: take years. But you should trust Bongino. You should trust
Speaker 2: that he and those people there were telling you the
Speaker 2: truth then and they will tell you the truth in
Speaker 2: the future. Don't be black piled about Trump. Continue to
Speaker 2: hope in Trump. So again, I look at this twelve
Speaker 2: thousand documents, two million documents, and even the twelve thousand documents,
Speaker 2: how could Bondy, Bongino and Cash Mattel, how could they
Speaker 2: look you straight in the face and tell you that
Speaker 2: they had looked at these documents and there was nothing there.
Speaker 2: How did they have time for all this stuff? They've
Speaker 2: got an army of lawyers. They're saying, they've got four
Speaker 2: hundred lawyers on this. So how did Bondi, Bongino and
Speaker 2: Cash and all this stuff. Have they taken the avalun
Speaker 2: Wood speed reading classes? The twelve thousand documents? I don't
Speaker 2: think so. I don't think that Cash Mattel had the
Speaker 2: time between all of the concerts he's flying to and
Speaker 2: the golf trips to Switzerland, Switzerland, Scotland. I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't think he had the time for that. The release
Speaker 2: materials represent less than one percent of the total volume
Speaker 2: in the DOJ's possession. Yeah, Bondy had all those things
Speaker 2: on her She had two million documents on her desk.
Speaker 2: I'd like to see a picture of that. These people
Speaker 2: have just lied up one side and down the other. Well.
Speaker 2: The Department of Justice so called unveiled a trove of
Speaker 2: photos and documents relating to Epstein by the December nineteenth deadline.
Speaker 2: The heavy redactions were put in. The problem is, even
Speaker 2: though they tried to redact you from being able to
Speaker 2: search for the term Trump. They forgot that you could
Speaker 2: search for the term Trump space. So people found more
Speaker 2: than six hundred references in the documents that released in
Speaker 2: the first day or so. One of Epstein's victims called
Speaker 2: the file drop a slap in our faces, she said.
Speaker 2: On Christmas Eve, Bondie's Department of Justice said it had
Speaker 2: been informed of the existence of over a million more
Speaker 2: documents potentially related to the Epstein case, and after reviewing
Speaker 2: those documents, it may take a few more weeks. A
Speaker 2: few more weeks take years at the pace that they're going.
Speaker 2: Last week, the AP of New York Times reported that
Speaker 2: the DOJ had expanded its review of epstein relayed documents
Speaker 2: to over five million records. Five million records, and they've
Speaker 2: been able to produce twelve thousand in a couple of months.
Speaker 2: And we're supposed to believe that that trio of liars
Speaker 2: had to evaluate all this stuff and knew that there
Speaker 2: was nothing there. So Roe Kahana said, I'm less concerned
Speaker 2: about the timeline, more concerned about them releasing key documents
Speaker 2: if they were acting in good faith, if they're putting
Speaker 2: out the survivor's statements. If they're putting out these prosecution memos,
Speaker 2: then they would have a leg to rest on. They
Speaker 2: could say, well, it's a huge file and which it's
Speaker 2: taking time. But the point is that doesn't take a
Speaker 2: lot of time. They're just not releasing it. In other words,
Speaker 2: you look at the core things like the prosecution documents,
Speaker 2: the statements of the victims and things like that, those
Speaker 2: could be put out unredacted. But since they're not doing that,
Speaker 2: all the rest of stuff like phone logs and other
Speaker 2: logs and things like that, that may be able. You
Speaker 2: may be able to inferse some information from that. That
Speaker 2: could take a while. But they're taking the central core
Speaker 2: documents and hiding them redacting them. Meanwhile, Messi and Kahana
Speaker 2: have said that they are considering holding bondy and inherent
Speaker 2: contempt over the matter, and I think that is really
Speaker 2: why Bongino has left. But as I said earlier at
Speaker 2: the very beginning of the program, we see something else
Speaker 2: for this Mike Johnson guy here. There's just been a
Speaker 2: complaint lodged to the FEC about Mike Johnson and his
Speaker 2: treasurers who have been caught smurfing five million, eight hundred
Speaker 2: and eight thousand, five hundred and ninety five dollars into
Speaker 2: Johnson's campaign committees. Smurfing. Do you know what that is? Well,
Speaker 2: smurfing is criminal money laundering back into political campaigns. It's
Speaker 2: the type of thing we've been talking about Biden doing
Speaker 2: for a very long time. In Ukraine. You know, you
Speaker 2: have money that you send to a foreign country, or
Speaker 2: money that you send to allow being sent to foreigners
Speaker 2: who are here doing fraudulent daycare centers, anything like that.
Speaker 2: You know, you push the money to some corporation or
Speaker 2: some institution or some cause or some foreign country, and
Speaker 2: then you get kickback into your political campaign. That's called smurfing.
Speaker 2: The reason they do that is because what they do
Speaker 2: is the same type of thing that we saw with
Speaker 2: what was that Act Blue. Act Blue was the institution
Speaker 2: they were putting donations in the names of people who
Speaker 2: were retired on Social Security or whatever. Maybe they had
Speaker 2: sent a donation at one point in time of five
Speaker 2: dollars to their cause. Somehow they got these people's names
Speaker 2: and they started sending regular donations of really large amounts.
Speaker 2: So these people are sending thousands and thousands of dollars,
Speaker 2: and so you had some reporters go around and find
Speaker 2: these names and ask some of these people, so did
Speaker 2: you give this money? No, I don't have that kind
Speaker 2: of money. I can't send that kind of money in.
Speaker 2: So that's the way they do this. That's called smurfing.
Speaker 2: Act Blue.
Speaker 18: Smurfing is pretty ironic, man.
Speaker 2: That's why they came up with a term, because it
Speaker 2: was that was the first place that I heard about.
Speaker 2: This was the Act Blue a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the blue smurfs that are out there.
Speaker 18: Also, another term for smurfing is when you create a
Speaker 18: new account in a game you're already good at, just
Speaker 18: so you can beat up new players.
Speaker 2: That's the term I'm familiar with. That's funny. Well, the
Speaker 2: people that they are taking action against is not just
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, but it's also John Thune of South Dakota,
Speaker 2: the Republican leader of the Senate, as well as the
Speaker 2: Republican Leader of the House, Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota, Senator Warnick,
Speaker 2: a Democrat from Georgia, Senator Mark Kelly, a Democrat from Arizona.
Speaker 2: Senator Slotkin of Michigan. That's the Kelly and Slotkin, the
Speaker 2: two people that took the lead on this video about
Speaker 2: don't follow illegal orders and said, well, I can't think
Speaker 2: of anything the illegal that Trump has done. And then
Speaker 2: Senator Baldwin of Wisconsin and Lindsey Graham South Carolina, these
Speaker 2: people have all have allegedly been smurfing, taking kickbacks from
Speaker 2: these various organizations and this group, this is PETE. The
Speaker 2: person who tweeted this out is Peter Burneger who put
Speaker 2: this out.
Speaker 18: That's neggar with an E R. Yeah, yeah, gotta be
Speaker 18: careful and you say these things.
Speaker 2: So anyway, they're using computer bots to do it, and
Speaker 2: they are stealing the identities of senior citizens. Smurfing is happening,
Speaker 2: he says, at the federal level, the state level, the
Speaker 2: county level, and even at high school board election levels.
Speaker 2: The treasurer is a legally responsible officer for authorizing, receiving, recording,
Speaker 2: and reporting committee contributions and is therefore properly named where
Speaker 2: relations involving false contributor identification or contributions in the name
Speaker 2: of another. So Johnson Leadership Fund has accepted two thousand,
Speaker 2: seven hundred and seventy two. They're very precise about this,
Speaker 2: smurfed donor transactions that total two million, two hundred and
Speaker 2: fourteen thousand, six hundred and thirty five dollars from six
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty two unique smurfing donors. These transactions encompass
Speaker 2: twenty seven percent of the ten thousand, two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty eight available committee transactions, and also fifteen percent of
Speaker 2: the fourteen million, six hundred forty thousand, seven hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty seven dollars full Committee transaction valuations. And they go
Speaker 2: on with more information from some other foundations that he has,
Speaker 2: and it all adds up to just hundred six million dollars.
Speaker 2: It all adds up to this is yet another way
Speaker 2: that our corrupt officials, I started to say elected officials,
Speaker 2: but I don't believe in elections anymore. Quaveringly, this is
Speaker 2: the way our corrupt officials get rich. It's not just
Speaker 2: the insider trading like Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, they do that
Speaker 2: as well, but it's also this type of thing. And
Speaker 2: this is exactly the type of guy you would expect
Speaker 2: would be involved in this. Mike Johnson, Well, before we
Speaker 2: go to break WF V, I I guess or WWF
Speaker 2: WF eight, I guess. I guess it's sick of the
Speaker 2: excuses in the idolatry of Trump. He's poisoned eighty one
Speaker 2: percent of the US population. You know, we're talking about
Speaker 2: the bioweapon, right, what does it take for people to
Speaker 2: look at that and hold him responsible? That's why I
Speaker 2: say it is make America double think. I just can't
Speaker 2: imagine that the people on the right who are aware
Speaker 2: of this and who understand what the bioweapon is will
Speaker 2: not hold him responsible. I see it over and over again.
Speaker 2: The people who are still writing about it on the right,
Speaker 2: We'll talk about all this, but they will never mention
Speaker 2: Trump in connection with any of it. Crash and Splash
Speaker 2: seventy five says, so when and how many will migrate
Speaker 2: from Venezuela because Trump has stolen their wealth? Well, I
Speaker 2: played the clip the other day. You've already got Christinome saying, well,
Speaker 2: we're going to honor the temporary protected status of people
Speaker 2: from Venezuela here, and we're going to open it up
Speaker 2: for more Venezuelan refugees. Right at the very beginning, Christine
Speaker 2: nom the ice barbie who's been doing LARPing and costume play,
Speaker 2: going around with all these people on these raids. Her
Speaker 2: very first comment about all this stuff is how we're
Speaker 2: going to take in more people from Venezuela, Guard Goldsmith,
Speaker 2: Liberty conspiracy. Good to see, Guard. I'm surprised one of
Speaker 2: the reporters didn't punch Johnson in the face for his
Speaker 2: insult to their intelligence. Instead, they'll just buck up to him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're absolutely right. It is insulting, isn't it for them
Speaker 2: to think that we are that stupid that we don't
Speaker 2: know the fentanyl stuff, fentanyl from Canada, fentanyl from Venezuela. Seriously,
Speaker 2: I guess they figure that if we'll go along with
Speaker 2: them on this drug war thing, that we're stupid enough
Speaker 2: to believe anything. And I guess maybe they're right. We'll
Speaker 2: be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Well,
Speaker 2: when we talk about absurd lies and lying to people's faces,
Speaker 2: Greenland comes to mind. Steven Miller, I gotta put that
Speaker 2: back into the board. I already liked that song about
Speaker 2: Greenland anyway. Stephen Miller says that the US has the
Speaker 2: right to take Greenland. A CNN interview echoed the presence
Speaker 2: intent to run Venezuela, and of course, Steven Miller and
Speaker 2: his wife, who used to work for the first Trump
Speaker 2: administration have been very vocal lately about that. Miller top
Speaker 2: aid of Trump. Actually he's the deputy chief of staff
Speaker 2: this time around a certain on Monday, the Greenland rightfully
Speaker 2: belonged to the US, that the Trump administration could seize
Speaker 2: the semi autonomous Danish territory if it wanted to, right,
Speaker 2: we just take whatever we want, he said. Nobody's going
Speaker 2: to fight the US military over the future of Greenland,
Speaker 2: he said. Miller long and powerful, behind the scenes player,
Speaker 2: and the Trump administration policy to justify American imperialism. And
Speaker 2: that's what it is. I mean, yeah, the fact that
Speaker 2: the you know that that term has been used so
Speaker 2: much by the left that it's been discredited. It's like
Speaker 2: everybody calling somebody racist or anti submit anti Semitic. You know,
Speaker 2: there are real racists, there are real andy Semites, but
Speaker 2: they abuse those terms so much that nobody believes them.
Speaker 2: You know, there's real imperialism as well. This is it.
Speaker 2: This is what it looks like. So so anyway, his
Speaker 2: vision for the new world order and what they're not
Speaker 2: talking about is what I think is very important about this,
Speaker 2: and that is how and of course some Technocracy News
Speaker 2: has talked about this as well. If you go back
Speaker 2: and you look at the technocrats, they wanted to have
Speaker 2: a unified hemisphere. And basically, you know, we got all
Speaker 2: the resources that we need, We're just gonna you know,
Speaker 2: take over everything, make it one unified hemisphere. And it's
Speaker 2: what the technocrats wanted. We got all the energy that
Speaker 2: we need and all the resources that we need, and
Speaker 2: that's what we're going to do. And I think that's
Speaker 2: a very telling thing. Trump's fascination with this tells you
Speaker 2: just how much sway the technocrats have with them. So again,
Speaker 2: we live in a world, he said, in the real world, Jake,
Speaker 2: he's talking to Jake Temper, the real world that is
Speaker 2: governed by strength, It's governed by force, it's governed by power. Seekle.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a it might make fright guy,
Speaker 2: you know it doesn't. We don't care about borders, we
Speaker 2: don't care about guidelines. Who don't care about law domestic
Speaker 2: or international. We don't do what we want because we
Speaker 2: have the power to do it. We have power. Who
Speaker 2: cares about authority. There's no place for individual rights, folks
Speaker 2: in a world like that. This is not just about
Speaker 2: geopolitical abstractions. This is about individual rights. And we've seen
Speaker 2: over and over again that they despise our individual rights
Speaker 2: as much as they do these other things. As Russell
Speaker 2: Means said in his book, Where White Men Fear to Tread,
Speaker 2: he said, federal government has made treaty after treaty with
Speaker 2: Indians and broken every single one of them. And he said,
Speaker 2: the Constitution, white man, is your treaty from the American government,
Speaker 2: and they've broken every aspect of that as well, the
Speaker 2: Bill of Rights particularly. And so when they don't respect
Speaker 2: the borders of American Indians, when they don't respect the
Speaker 2: borders of Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, you name it, they don't
Speaker 2: respect our individual liberties either, because they are lawless pirates.
Speaker 2: That's really what they are. Us taking Greenland by force
Speaker 2: would rip apart the central agreement that underpins NATO military alliance.
Speaker 2: That's the only silver lining behind all this is that
Speaker 2: it would do that. So there's a back and forth
Speaker 2: with Jake Tapper and Steven Miller. It's very instructive. Listen
Speaker 2: to this guy. This is one of the key advisors
Speaker 2: to Donald Trump.
Speaker 19: The important topic the premiere of Greenland and the premiere
Speaker 19: of Denmark and other Danish officials are responding to a
Speaker 19: Twitter post from your wife, Katie Miller, her self reformer
Speaker 19: what Trump White OS official, showing Greenland covered with an
Speaker 19: American flag, saying soon after that was posted, President Trump
Speaker 19: repeated the claim that the US needs Greenland for national
Speaker 19: security reasons. The Danish Prime Minister responded to this in
Speaker 19: an interview earlier today, is.
Speaker 11: Reported by Bloomberg quote.
Speaker 19: I believe one should take the American president seriously when
Speaker 19: he says it wants Greenland. But I will also make
Speaker 19: it clear that if the US use is to attack
Speaker 19: another NATO country militarily and everything stops, including NATO and
Speaker 19: thus the security that has been established since the end
Speaker 19: of the Second World War, can you rule out that
Speaker 19: the US is ever going to try to take Greenland
Speaker 19: by force?
Speaker 11: Well, let me go back a step.
Speaker 10: The President has been clear for months now, so I
Speaker 10: know you're treating this as breaking news. The President has
Speaker 10: been clear for a month now that the United States
Speaker 10: should be the nation that has Greenland is part of
Speaker 10: our overall security apparatus.
Speaker 19: But your wife posted that like hours after the Venezuela operation.
Speaker 11: But that's why it's newly relevant. No, and I'll talk
Speaker 11: with you about it for an hour.
Speaker 10: I think it's really important conversation up to I just
Speaker 10: wanted to reset Jake by making clear that it has
Speaker 10: been the formal position of the US government since the
Speaker 10: beginning of this administration, frankly going back into the previous
Speaker 10: Trump administration, that Greenland should be part of the United Types.
Speaker 10: The President has and very clear about that. That is
Speaker 10: the formal position of the US government.
Speaker 19: Right, But can you say that military action against Greenland
Speaker 19: is off the table?
Speaker 10: It would mean a military action against Greenland. The Greenland
Speaker 10: has a population of thirty thousand people, Jake. The real
Speaker 10: question is by what right does Denmark is certain control
Speaker 10: over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim,
Speaker 10: What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony
Speaker 10: of Denmark?
Speaker 11: The United States?
Speaker 10: Is the power of NATO for the United States to
Speaker 10: secure the Arctic region, to protect and defend NATO and
Speaker 10: NATO interest.
Speaker 11: Obviously, Greenland should be part of the United States.
Speaker 10: And so that's a conversation that we're gonna have as
Speaker 10: a kind of obviously we're gonna have as a.
Speaker 11: As a community.
Speaker 19: I'm not gonna get off the table that the US
Speaker 19: would use military force to seize Greenland.
Speaker 11: You can understand that, Jake.
Speaker 10: I understand you're trying very hard to which which again
Speaker 10: is your job. I respect it. It is great to
Speaker 10: get exactly the headline right that catch you headlines to
Speaker 10: get an answer it says, says.
Speaker 11: Miller, the.
Speaker 10: United States should have Greenland as part of the United States.
Speaker 10: There's no need to even think or talk about this
Speaker 10: in the context that you're asking of a military operation.
Speaker 10: Nobody's going to fight the United States militarily over the
Speaker 10: future of Greenlands.
Speaker 11: One last question, See you make any sense? One last question?
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that begs the question as to well, nobody's
Speaker 2: going to fight the United States. So you are talking
Speaker 2: about force, You're not talking about authority. If Denmark doesn't
Speaker 2: want the US owning Greenland, if the Greenlanders don't want it,
Speaker 2: if you've got all the heads of state of Europe
Speaker 2: that don't want it, then how do you do it peacefully?
Speaker 2: Again and that context, he also talks about how important
Speaker 2: force is and how it has set all the boundaries,
Speaker 2: and it goes back and pulls it back to yeah,
Speaker 2: we just take whatever we want, but of course we're
Speaker 2: not going to use force on this. Of course they
Speaker 2: will thank you for joining us, have a good day
Speaker 2: the common man. They created common Core and dumb down
Speaker 2: our children. They created common Past to track and control us.
Speaker 2: They're Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing
Speaker 2: and the communist future. They see the common man as simple,
Speaker 2: unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity
Speaker 2: created in the image of God. That is what we
Speaker 2: have in common. That is what they want to take away.
Speaker 2: Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire
Speaker 2: to know everything about us, while they hide everything from us.
Speaker 2: It's time to turn that around and expose what they
Speaker 2: want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll
