WEBVTT 1 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.800 In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a 2 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:37.880 revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. 3 00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.320 As the clock strikes thirteen is Thursday, the ninth of January. 4 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.240 You're of our Lord twenty twenty five. Well, we're going 5 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:53.759 to take a look today. We're going to begin by 6 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.960 the La fires. There is so much to see here 7 00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.560 at the juncture between government and competence, over regulation, corporate greed, 8 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.760 you name it. It is all at play there, and 9 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.519 we're going to look at the disaster and what do 10 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.640 the people do moving forward there. We're also going to 11 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.959 take a look I think as some interesting things have 12 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.120 happened here with them that this has not really been 13 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.000 picked up by the media. We got an Arizona tattoo shop. 14 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.239 People are outraged that he would tattoo a nine year 15 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.239 old girl. Yeah, we'll talk about that. We need to 16 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.120 extend this out and get people to think about what 17 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.120 is going on with it. And we've got more details 18 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.480 about the occult practices being funded by the federal government 19 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:44.560 through North Carolina as we look at the mania to 20 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.599 support depopulation that is across the board. We'll be right back. 21 00:01:48.640 --> 00:02:21.520 Stay with us. Thank you, Agents State. 22 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:22.960 Farm take a good neighbor. 23 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:30.560 State cut Hey, Arnold, I'm hearing neighbor. It's neighbor, That's 24 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.360 what I said, neighbor neighbor. 25 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.560 Neighbor agent Brent Whitlocke talks about family insurance. 26 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.120 You have an obligation to that individual when he buys 27 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.199 an insurance policy from you, to back up what you're telling. 28 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.759 You're selling him a service. It's an intangible. 29 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.479 The only way you can prove that you're you're worth 30 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.000 what you say you are, or your company is as 31 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.520 good as you say it is, is to be there 32 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.520 when he needs you and provide. 33 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.960 The service that he deserves. 34 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:11.800 Yeah, you know that Arnold Schwarzenegger commercial very interesting, isn't it? 35 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.840 Fire in Hollywood? Hollywood stars all the rest of this stuff. 36 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.840 And that was last year's Super Bowl commercial. Now State 37 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.240 Farm is saying that they had to pull out. I 38 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.879 got a lot of people who and I understand what 39 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.319 is happening. Perhaps they see with more clarity because they're 40 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.120 now analyzing the risks as they see that, you know, 41 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.840 there's not any water for fires. They got people who 42 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.360 don't care about working on improving firefighting. As a matter 43 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.080 of fact, as one listener pointed out, he said, we 44 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:47.039 can spend billions on planes, but we can't do anything 45 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.560 to have some new technology or better technology to fight 46 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.639 these fires. He said, China's got firefighting tanks. Why don't 47 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.759 we do that? Oh no, it's all got to go 48 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.520 to Ukraine. And as a matter of fact, they were 49 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.560 sending firefighting equipment from LA to Ukraine. So you think 50 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.479 that maybe State Farm knew that. Did the people in 51 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.840 California know it? Even if they knew it, they can't 52 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.199 really do anything about it, but State Farm can get 53 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.280 out of there. I'm guessing that that's perhaps what was 54 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.560 going on there. A lot of people are saying, wow, 55 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.040 this is just setting them up for a smart city 56 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.680 type of thing, and clearly that is what I think 57 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.720 is happening on the government side. The government doesn't want 58 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.199 people living there. They've made it very clear. They're indications 59 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.759 that there's lithium deposits there, whatever, another one of these 60 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.560 types of things. But the government, you can find that 61 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.439 pretty much natural resources to as an excuse to get 62 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.920 people up. But it's really about the smart city approach 63 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.600 as well. That is also there. By twenty twenty eight, 64 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.639 LA wants the place to be a smart city. They 65 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.000 don't want people living in neighborhoods, not even the wealthy. 66 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.600 Let's burn them out. But of course they will be 67 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.240 living in whatever they wish. These Hollywood stars and so 68 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.959 many of them went through neighborhoods like that, but it 69 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.000 went through other neighborhoods where the people don't have multimillion 70 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:12.279 dollar homes and don't have several of them. Hollywood stars 71 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.160 are now staying in Beverly Hills hotels and then they 72 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.360 will move to their other multimillion dollar homes somewhere else. 73 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.439 They're not going to be affected by that. They're not 74 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.680 going to be affected by the smart city stuff. There's 75 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.720 so much to see here. Quite frankly, don't obscure this 76 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:32.120 by just getting lost on the conspiracy theory aspect of it. Yes, 77 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.079 there is an aspect of that there with the smart cities. Absolutely, 78 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.240 they don't want people to have single family homes. And 79 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.759 one of the people even said that they're at the 80 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.480 University of California. Well maybe nobody should be living in 81 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.160 these areas. That's always a response to a natural disaster. 82 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.600 And so State Farm pulled out. You had a lot 83 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:58.480 of people who hundreds of Pacific palisades homeowners policies were 84 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.959 taken away, and like I said, a lot of them 85 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:07.519 are not multimillionaire Hollywood stars. They find themselves grappling with 86 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.079 an unbearable reality their homes are burning in their insurance 87 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.120 policies once their safety net were canceled just months ago 88 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:17.160 by State Farm. It is a devastating thing, regardless of 89 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:25.160 your economic situation, to lose your home. We had Karen's 90 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.160 brother who went to Travis's wedding in Texas. They live 91 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:33.560 in Virginia, and they got a call. They thought it 92 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.279 was a prank that their home had burned down while 93 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:41.759 they were at Travis's wedding, hit by lightning. And that 94 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.160 was a couple of years ago. Now I won't go 95 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.240 was that, I don't know, maybe almost coming up to 96 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.160 almost three years. They just now got back into a 97 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.240 replacement home. Now, their insurance policy was there like a 98 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.279 good neighbor. I don't know who their insuran was. But 99 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.240 everything was rebuilt and got all new stuff and they 100 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.839 paid for them to live somewhere on this an incredible bill. 101 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.399 And when I look at how much money was involved 102 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.319 there for them to rebuild and replace the house, for 103 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.600 them to replace their clothing, and everything. You lose everything, 104 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.040 and that's the key thing. You're losing pictures that are 105 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.720 irreplaceable of your family and other things like that, so 106 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:27.160 many irreplaceable memories. But the financial cost was astronomical, and 107 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.199 of course they don't want to do that for tens 108 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.560 of thousands of homes. As a matter of fact, State 109 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.079 Farm canceled over seventy two thousand homeowner policies statewide. They 110 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.480 must be popping champagne corks now at the money that 111 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:49.600 they saved. So it is a sad story. As one 112 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.920 person said, my parents are ninety years old. It's not 113 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.920 all movie stars. Yeah. I took out James Woods's home 114 00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.399 and he talked about that. He said, one of the 115 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.199 major insurance companies canceled all the policies in our neighborhood 116 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.319 about four months ago. Four months ago. So they've got 117 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.160 enough money that they can advertise in a Super Bowl 118 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.000 commercial and hire Arnold schwartzeneggerty that. But they just can't 119 00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.920 keep up these insurance policies. There's corporate greed involved in that, 120 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.319 for sure. My parents are ninety years old. They've lived 121 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.319 in this house for seventy five years and they've had 122 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.639 the same insurance policy the entire time. Then State Farm 123 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.120 decided to cancel it. They're now left with nothing. Thank you, 124 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:32.279 California insurance companies for abandoning tax paying residents who love 125 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.960 this state. And they wonder why people are leaving California 126 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:42.159 in droves. Well, no blame here for the government, and 127 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.320 of course the government are the ones that were really 128 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.639 increasing the risks. Some of these people say, wow, you 129 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:53.120 know climate change. No, no, no, Look if you're in Florida, 130 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:56.600 I grew up in Florida. If you're in Florida, hurricanes 131 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.440 are part of the climate, always have been. If you're 132 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.799 in the Midwest, it's tornadoes, always part of the climate. 133 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.960 If you're in California, fires are always a part of 134 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.279 the climate. It gets very dry there. It never rains 135 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.799 in California, but when it does, it pours. Right as 136 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:18.519 the song goes, countless reports of mass fire coverage cancelations 137 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.480 my insurance companies. Just weeks before the La fires. The 138 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.480 one woman blasted the California government for their mismanagement, explained 139 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.000 that fire coverage on her childhood home was just was 140 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:36.080 canceled after decades. Now again, when you look at it, 141 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.759 if you're going to have this cozy relationship, a public 142 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.840 private partnership to make money for the corporations, and they 143 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.320 can kick it back to the politicians. If they're going 144 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.120 to require you to buy car insurance, for example, you 145 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.159 don't have the option for that, you're going to be 146 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:55.159 forced to buy it, and the government comes in then 147 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.399 it says, well, we're going to set the rates for that, 148 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.960 and you hope they do that. Honestly, don't believe that. 149 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:09.799 But nevertheless, you know, with great largesse comes great responsibility, 150 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.360 And so wouldn't you think that since a lot of 151 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.080 these insurance companies will tie your car insurance and your 152 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.440 home insurance together, wouldn't you think that maybe the government 153 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.159 would do that as well. You want to make all 154 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.399 this money from the automobile insurance, well you're going to 155 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:27.039 have to do something on the home insurance side. And 156 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.399 perhaps if they forced them to do something about it, 157 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.960 maybe the insurance companies would raise a big outcry as 158 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:38.480 to the incompetence of what is being done by the 159 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.840 government to fight these fires. And it is many different 160 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.279 aspects of that. So again you look at this and 161 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.919 it's like, well, where did the people go? It got 162 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.360 canceled right before this for many people just a couple 163 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.840 of months earlier did they know about it? Because you know, 164 00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.440 you've got a situation like this where if somebody has 165 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.600 lived there for a very long time, so lived there 166 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:07.240 for seventy five years, they've got their mortgage paid off. 167 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:10.840 I'm sure a mortgage company would do something about it, 168 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.320 but a lot of these homeowners wouldn't. And so beginning 169 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.639 in March, right after that Super Bowl commercial, they started 170 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:23.000 canceling insurance policies left and right. About sixteen hundred insured 171 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.039 homes and the Pacific Policades lost coverage due to that decision, 172 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.320 but you know, seventy two thousand, I think it was 173 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.519 across the state. Combining these policies represent just over two 174 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.559 percent of State Farms general policy count in California. So 175 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.600 it's focused on LA and there's a tremendous amount of 176 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.639 incompetence in LA that is even worse than the general 177 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:49.840 incompetence in California's government. We will continue to work constructively, 178 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:54.159 said State Farm with the California Department of Insurance and 179 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:59.000 the Governor's office. They're all tied together, and it isn't 180 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.919 like you got some free market corporation out here that's 181 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.240 doing his own thing and just trying to make money 182 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.639 out here and competing with other people. Now they're in 183 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.639 bed with the government. It's just like everything else. This 184 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.799 whole idea of a free market, when you start talking 185 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.960 about big business, is not a free market at all. 186 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:19.600 It's crony capitalism, it's corruption, it's public private partnerships, it's 187 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:23.000 all that kind of stuff together. And so you know, 188 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:27.279 they're both to blame in this. Policy makers when to 189 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.039 actively pursue these reforms in order to establish an environment 190 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.519 in which insurance rates are better aligned with risk. So 191 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.120 from their perspective, you know, California has made it impossible 192 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:40.639 to do business there because California was not allowing the 193 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.799 policies to reflect what they thought with higher risks. And 194 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.120 the high risks are because of what the government is doing. 195 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:52.000 The government wants to ignore any infrastructure that is necessary 196 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.159 to fight fires, and then when the risk goes up 197 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.279 and they want to do nothing in order to control 198 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.320 areas that are going to catch fire and burn. We've 199 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.320 seen this over and over again. It doesn't have to 200 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.480 be a rural area. But I've talked about this many 201 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.919 many times. You've heard this in this program. Briefly, my 202 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.159 uncle fifty years ago, probably more than that now, was 203 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.759 head of the forestry department of the University Missouri in Columbia, 204 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.679 and he talked to me about what he saw happening 205 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.159 at that point in time. So nobody's interested in stewardship anymore. 206 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.559 They got this environmentalism. It's like a religion to them. 207 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.320 Don't touch the forest, leave everything alone. He said, if 208 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.240 you don't clear out the dead wood, the forest are 209 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.759 going to burn down. And this is happening in rural areas. 210 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:38.360 We saw this happening with mismanagement and Hawaii. It happened 211 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:42.519 with mismanagement here in the Smoky Mountains with the National 212 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:48.159 Forestry the Forestry Department not doing that, and so it 213 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.639 spills over into other areas. When we went up to 214 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.559 move up to Oregon, we talked to Travis and I 215 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.840 filmed report with the guy who was a logger, worked 216 00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:02.720 all his life in logging, and his retirement plan was 217 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.799 that he'd had taken his money and he'd bought property. 218 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.879 He was going to gradually log that property after he retired. 219 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.600 But because the government didn't take care of the public lands, 220 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:14.840 had a wi fire that got out of control and 221 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:20.600 burned everything of his and basically that was his retirement 222 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.679 and he was in a very bad situation and it 223 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.600 was terrific. What had happened with the corporate retreat echoed 224 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.440 my other private insurers, not just State Farm, has forced 225 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:36.720 countless homeowners and the state run Fair Plan, a last 226 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.320 resort insurance program that has seen its enrollment more than 227 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.960 double since twenty twenty, and so there is a backup 228 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.159 state run plan. My question is, with the cancelations happening 229 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.759 so shortly before this, did these people know did they 230 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.720 get over into that plan? I don't know. I will 231 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:59.240 tell most insurers who have limited their offer in the 232 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.759 state mentioned risking wildfire risk as well as the state's 233 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:09.440 regulations as the main reasons behind their decision. Unable to 234 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.000 increase their premiums to a level that will match the 235 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.799 growing risk, the growing risk from the government, and competence 236 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:20.960 and disinterest right companies have decided instead to cut coverage, 237 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.080 to cut and run. As a matter of fact, this 238 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:29.279 is another State Farm commercial that didn't have that like 239 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.200 a good neighbor State Farm is there that was a 240 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:37.039 Barry man Low song, But this one, I guess really applies. 241 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.679 They tell you to get to a better state. 242 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.720 Get to a better state. 243 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:47.639 Farm as their business plan, We're going to get to 244 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.720 a better state, a better state than California to do business. Then, 245 00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.639 so far last night, as this is going through, sadly 246 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.480 five people have died so far last night in La 247 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.759 County firestorms, and there have been more than eleven hundred 248 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:06.279 homes that have been destroyed. This is some video from 249 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:12.200 neighbors of James Woods and it is absolutely amazing, a 250 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.759 complete inferno that's there on both sides of the road. 251 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:16.480 It's like, you know, I wonder if you're going to 252 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:21.200 get trapped in there, but it is a horrific scene. 253 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.039 And it's just everywhere that had one hundred mile an 254 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.720 hour winds, And of course we've seen that happen in 255 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.399 many different cases, especially around here, even when there's a 256 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:32.159 forest fire. A lot of times the forest fires happened 257 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.720 because there's a high wind, and then the massive fires 258 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:40.519 because there's so much deadwood fuel on the ground, the 259 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:45.279 massive fires will will accelerate the wind, so they're getting 260 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.960 one hundred mile an hour winds. But the biggest problem 261 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:50.840 is that they didn't have any water to fight the 262 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.759 fire with because you know, the local government is concerned 263 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.840 that they've got people in charge who are contemplating their navel. 264 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.039 You know, they can't be bob to look at nuclear 265 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.200 waste or to look at fighting fires, because they're all 266 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:08.960 about their sex games, their gender. What gender am I 267 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.680 going to be today? You know that type of stuff. 268 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.119 And let's hire more people like me who don't care 269 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.880 about what they're doing. They're just so obsessed with sex. 270 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.160 That's all we can think about. Is there sexual cosplay? 271 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:22.720 Fire? 272 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.799 Hydrants, wren Dry and Southern California just twin needed the 273 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.559 most to swirl a criticism on social media against the 274 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:34.160 LA Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Nuisance and their 275 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.880 water management policies. You've got thousands of homes destroyed, families destroyed, 276 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:43.559 businesses destroyed. Yeah. I mean this is mismanagement, it's environmentalism, 277 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:50.480 it's activism and neglect. Certainly the insurance companies see that 278 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.839 and get out of dodge. I think you can figure 279 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.079 out a way to get more water in the hydrants. 280 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.400 I don't think there's any room for excuses, said Rick Caruso, 281 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.480 a real estate developer and a former commissioner with the 282 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:07.680 LA Department of Water. And power, who was defeated by 283 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:14.160 this woman of color who was supported by Obama. And 284 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.400 she can't be bothered because she's on a boondogg old 285 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:22.599 junket in Ghana right now. And guess who is leading 286 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.119 the junket. Somebody from the Federal Office of Management and Budget. Now, 287 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:29.759 how's that for irony. You know, we're going to do 288 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.480 a boondogg ole junket here and the omb under the 289 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.759 Biden cartel is going to be the one running that junket. 290 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:42.079 And that's where this woman is, the one who won 291 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.119 the mayor's race. Trump seized on the moment. In a 292 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.960 podcast on Truth social media network Wednesday, he renewed criticism 293 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.400 of the state's approach to balancing the distribution of water 294 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:55.599 to farms and cities with the need to protect endangered species, 295 00:18:55.640 --> 00:19:02.119 including the delta smelt. I mean, we've heard about the 296 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.160 snail darter. I just saw a headline of an article. 297 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.319 I decided not to go into the headline newswifs the 298 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:14.079 snail darter that's held up doesn't exist. And so you've 299 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.640 got the radical environmentalists who don't want to have any infrastructure. 300 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.680 And that's the conspiracy, you see, that's causer you see 301 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.599 that's been there for a very long time. That is 302 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.160 to shut down our infrastructure. That's what these people are about. 303 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.200 Shutdown our infrastructure, shutdown our manufacturing, shutdown our energy, prohibit 304 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.599 and ban anything that we have. These people want us 305 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:36.440 to go back into neo feudalism and they want population control. 306 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.279 That's what this is really about. And you know it's 307 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:41.400 all tied together with the smart cities. We've seen that 308 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.559 over and over again. There's no new conspiracy here. It's 309 00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:48.160 just manifested itself yet again. A senior fellow at the 310 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.759 Pacific Institute said leaving more water and rivers for endangered 311 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:55.640 fish is one thing, but water availability in La is another. 312 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:57.480 He said those fights have been going on for a 313 00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:59.920 long time. They haven't affected in any way the water 314 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:04.640 supply for firefighting in southern California. But he said about 315 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:08.640 forty percent of La City water comes from state controlled 316 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:15.279 projects connected to northern California, and the state has limited 317 00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:19.559 the water that it allows to be taken out this year. 318 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:22.720 It's a state that it is totally political. No, no, no, 319 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:24.839 you can't have that water. Then, he says, it's not 320 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:28.160 even about the fight between the farmers and the cities 321 00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:31.279 needing water and the water that they want to leave 322 00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:37.119 there for the Delta smelt, he says, not even that. 323 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.079 He said, the southern California reservoirs, these canals that help 324 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:43.680 feed them, he said, they're above average level for this 325 00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:48.359 time of the year. There's so many different levels of incompetence. 326 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:51.720 So they're saying, well, okay, well the reservoirs have got 327 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.480 water in it, and yet there's no water in the 328 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:58.559 fire hydrants. What's going on with that? And then you 329 00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:05.680 have this A professor of urban environmental policy at the 330 00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:10.680 University of California, he says, I think the conversation has 331 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:12.279 to be more about whether or not these areas are 332 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:16.240 habitable or not. Yeah, they want to have a smart city. 333 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:18.640 They want turn La into a smart city twenty twenty 334 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:21.519 eight and so forth. They don't want people to have 335 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:24.640 individual homes. They have come at it from a number 336 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:28.960 of angles. Andrew Yang who was pushing universal basic income, 337 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.599 which is universal welfare. After they've taken everything from us, 338 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:35.640 after they've killed our jobs, they've killed our businesses, they've 339 00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:39.240 killed the farms, you know, all the small stuff, and 340 00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:41.720 only the big guys are left, right, We've got the 341 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.559 big box retailers, we've got Amazon, we got the big 342 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.920 agricultural concerns, but no small farmers, no small businesses, no 343 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.839 main street because they're not essential. Member Trump, he's fully 344 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:56.319 on board with us stuff. Folks don't pretend otherwise. He 345 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:02.599 called people non essential. Still don't want to think about that. 346 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.759 Who support him. So the plan has always been to 347 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.720 take everything from us, and they do not want us 348 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:13.519 to have these individual homes. So they got a lot 349 00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:15.519 of different ways to do At Andrew Yang, who is 350 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.559 pushing the universal basic income, one of the things that 351 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:19.759 he wanted to do is have the federal government decide 352 00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:22.559 that they're going to destroy all zoning laws or whatever. 353 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.920 That'd be one way to destroy people's equity and their homes. 354 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.759 I don't like zoning laws, but once they're there, when 355 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.079 you start changing the stuff, it seems like it's always 356 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.720 the small guys who get hammered. Like I said, I 357 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:39.880 don't like zoning laws. I've chosen not to live in 358 00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.359 areas where their zoning laws. I've chosen especially not to 359 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.519 live in areas where there's homeowners' associations. I made that 360 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:50.759 mistake once, never again. But you know, live and learn. 361 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:54.440 But they come after it with zoning laws, or they 362 00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:58.200 come after it with regulations, or they come after it 363 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:01.400 without control fire. They have so many different ways that 364 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:05.359 they can do that vital La firefighting equipment was handed 365 00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:10.640 to Ukraine. Reports show several local headlines and prior years 366 00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:13.480 make it clear that area firefighters this is from zero hedge, 367 00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:16.920 could have had more resources to draw from if significant 368 00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.720 emergency response applies and items were not sent to Zelenski 369 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.079 to make money in an arms bazaar. Whoever he is 370 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:29.279 selling this stuff to La County fire crews are sending 371 00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.079 some of their extra equipment to firefighters in Ukraine, was 372 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.119 a local March twenty twenty two story. He said, the 373 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:42.400 plane carrying that much needed surplus equipment such as hoses, nozzles, turnouts, helmets, 374 00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:46.720 body armor, other personal protective gear is expected to take 375 00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:50.039 off on Friday, So they just have such a surplus 376 00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:53.200 of gear that they can send it to Ukraine and 377 00:23:53.279 --> 00:24:01.440 let La burn. So many different aspects of incompetent or 378 00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:07.440 subversion putting America no, putting Ukraine first. Is the Biden 379 00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:12.559 bad foreign policy that keeps on giving and taking away 380 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.599 from American citizens caught in the throes of emergency and disaster. 381 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.960 Except that wasn't it Mike Johnson and the GOP who 382 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.359 said We're going to send money to Ukraine instead of 383 00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:27.440 helping the people with Hurricane Helene and western North Carolina. Yeah, see, 384 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:30.920 this is what has happened to zero Hedge. Breitbart passed 385 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.359 that point a long time ago, along with Info Wars. Now, 386 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.480 even zero hedge will not say anything negative about Trump 387 00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:41.400 with all the nonsense about you know, creating a region 388 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.880 one North America. We're gonna we're gonna take Canada, We're 389 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.160 gonna take Greenland. We're gonna do this and that. As 390 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:50.880 people are talking about it, there was an interesting article 391 00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:55.440 that said the Conservative leader who would be the prime 392 00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:00.960 minister of the Conservatives get the majority, Pierre Polyev. They 393 00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.319 said he's walking a fine line between pushing back Trump's 394 00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.880 talk of taking over Canada and actually criticizing Trump. Gotta 395 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:10.680 be careful, got a tiptoe around that. Even if you 396 00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:16.920 are a Conservative member of the Canadian Parliament, you can't 397 00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:20.920 criticize Trump. And I tell you what you know, I 398 00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:24.119 know I've seen what's happened to this broadcast. It has 399 00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:28.640 been eviscerating for me to criticize Trump. Guess what, I 400 00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:31.640 would rather this show go down the tubes than to 401 00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:34.400 stop telling people what is going on, honestly, because I 402 00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.480 got a tiptoe around this guy, this meglomaniac who has 403 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.079 no respect for us, who actually works for the globalists. 404 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.880 He's done everything that they want. He has ticked all 405 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.400 the boxes. He's done them in sync with people like Trudeau, 406 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:51.680 Boris Johnson, Macron, everyone, you name it. They all did 407 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:55.000 the same thing to us at the same time. And 408 00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:58.160 he did even more than that. He organized the kill shot, 409 00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:02.319 the actual bio weapon, while these people covered for him. 410 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:06.119 I will never cover for him, and I will not 411 00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:09.920 cover for Mike Johnson or the GOP, or for Pierre 412 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:13.079 Polliev or whatever. These people who want to suck up 413 00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:16.119 to Trump. We got Jeff Bezos. Look at that Jeff 414 00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:21.920 Bezos forty million dollar documentary for the Life of Milania Trump, 415 00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:25.400 and Michael Tracy says, maybe they can throw in an 416 00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:33.759 Amazon printed for sale sign to hang on the White House. Yeah, 417 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.240 he's got to get in there with all these He's 418 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.559 just it's amazing how everybody is throwing all this stuff 419 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:43.640 at his feet and kissing his ring and every other 420 00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:46.680 part of his anatomy. It's just amazing to me. It 421 00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:51.559 disgusts me to see this. So anyway, they sent sent 422 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:55.160 a lot of firefighting equipment to Ukraine because they're more important. 423 00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:59.279 And even as we had these people suffering in western 424 00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.279 North Carolina, Johnson couldn't be bothered to interrupt his campaigning 425 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:06.519 or anybody else's campaigning. But they could still send more 426 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:12.559 billions more to Ukraine. Never forget this bipartisan betrayal that 427 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:16.279 is out there, absolutely bipartisan, and it disgusts me to 428 00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:18.519 see people like zero hedge look the other way. Oh 429 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.960 it's just Biden people, Yeah, it's Biden. Blame Biden, fine, 430 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.200 but blame Mike Johnson. Blame the GOP as well. Supporters 431 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:28.680 of such programs argue that it was all just surplus 432 00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:33.279 and it was required. Well, if it was any use 433 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:36.480 to Ukraine, it would have been any It would have 434 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:42.680 been of use yesterday, wouldn't it. But one person said, 435 00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.599 this is like a third world country. There is no 436 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.680 water coming out of the fire hydrants, and La Mayor 437 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:55.920 Karen bass is on a foreign trip to Ghana. Well again, 438 00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:58.039 you know, as I said, listener Adam said, you know 439 00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:01.720 they spend billions on warplanes, but their pockets are empty 440 00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:05.759 when it comes to saving lives or property here, why 441 00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:08.839 aren't we seeing robots being used right? Why aren't we seeing, 442 00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:13.720 as he points out, China's got firefighting robots. We can't 443 00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.960 do any of that. As a matter of fact, I've 444 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:21.400 seen video of them with firefighting drones to help with 445 00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.319 high rise fires. You know, it's a very difficult thing. 446 00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:26.799 If you've got a high rise and you've got a fire, 447 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:30.119 it's a difficult thing to get the water up there. Yeah, 448 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.759 so they got drones that they're using to deliver firefighting equipment. 449 00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:35.680 We're not going to do any of that. All we 450 00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:39.119 can do is we can spend all of our time 451 00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:42.240 and money on efforts to build machines to kill people. 452 00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:47.160 We can spend time money on efforts to build technology 453 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:50.599 to read our minds, or to control our thoughts, or 454 00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:56.319 to control and look at our speech, AI, to propagandize US, AI, 455 00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.440 to lie to us. All of our money is channeled 456 00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:02.680 in the most evil devices, and our government never does 457 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.680 anything to help us. Never, not even when you got 458 00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:07.640 an area that is wiped out by a hurricane. They 459 00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:11.000 will never spend a dime or develop any technology that 460 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:13.440 can be of any use to us. It's all about 461 00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:18.160 weapons that they use against us. Everything they do is weaponized. 462 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:22.519 It's exactly what Eisenhower warned about the military industrial complex, 463 00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:27.039 and it has been completely taken over by these dark forces. 464 00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:31.880 I call them dark forces because they are Satanic, the Pentagram, 465 00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:35.640 the Department of Defense dark. But the rest of these people, 466 00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.160 they're heavily into the occult, just like I was showing 467 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:42.000 you yesterday. Oh and Navy Seal CIA guy, So you 468 00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:44.880 did remote viewing and all the you know, yes, let's 469 00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:49.119 talk about that. Did you see anything about Jesus or 470 00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:52.880 the Cross or anything? As it's real quiet, I'm going 471 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:55.480 to say anything, and it's like, oh you met some man. 472 00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:58.559 Oh yeah, let's talk about aliens. Yeah yeah. And I 473 00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.880 tell you, these people are so far into the occult 474 00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:03.319 and that's one of the reasons why they let the 475 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:06.720 rest of us die. But we don't have firefighting robots 476 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:09.759 or drones or anything like that. But we do have 477 00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:17.240 a lesbian dei virtue signaling never enough diversity. She said. 478 00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:20.240 The LA Fire Department spent years pushing super woke policies. 479 00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:25.720 The LA Fire Departments implemented an internal quote, racial equity 480 00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:30.519 plan subjective employees to diversity training currently is led by 481 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:35.880 Chief Kristin Crowley, the first female and LGBTQ fire chief 482 00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:39.799 at the LA Fire Department. The department's racial equity Plan, 483 00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:42.799 adopted in twenty twenty one, asserts that the LA Fire 484 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:47.359 Department is a better firefighting organization for focusing on the 485 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:52.720 demographic characteristics of its personnel. You think so, the fire 486 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.559 doesn't really care about your sexual preferences, or your fantasies, 487 00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:57.160 or if you think you're in the wrong body or 488 00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:59.279 any of that other kind of stuff. Really doesn't care 489 00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:03.000 about your skin either. You ought to be merit based. 490 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:05.359 Shortly after taking over the top job at the LA 491 00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:09.480 Fire Department in twenty twenty two, Crowley made it clear 492 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.519 in local news segment that one of her top priorities 493 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.720 will be increasing the department's diversity. In the interview, she 494 00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:22.599 suggested that she does not look to meet specific demographic 495 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.480 quotas in the fire department because there's never enough diversity 496 00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:27.640 that's right. 497 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:31.319 Jela's Fire Department is launching its first ever diversity, Equity 498 00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:32.519 and Inclusion Bureau. 499 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:36.559 It is dedicated to ensuring a fair and equal workplace environment. 500 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:37.440 I wait to see a putter. 501 00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:38.599 Now there, Daryl is live and. 502 00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:41.279 These newspeople are nodding their head and smiling. This is great. 503 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:46.759 It's necessary, Christian, It's necessary, Colleen. The discrepancies are start, 504 00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:50.920 even just on paper. The laft this year hired its 505 00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:55.240 first ever female chief, and it says so far this year, 506 00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:58.200 eight percent of its applicants have been women. That might 507 00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:00.640 sound like a small number, but it's actually twice the 508 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:05.640 percentage of female firefighters currently in the department. Every day, 509 00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.359 the LAFD is called upon to respond to crises, and 510 00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:10.400 today it is taking a step to resolve one of 511 00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:13.319 its own, the department's first ever diversity Eh. 512 00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:15.559 The crisis will because we don't have enough of this 513 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:17.480 type of person, of that type of person. These people 514 00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:20.119 are racist and sexist and useless. 515 00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:23.440 Creating this new bureau are diversity equan inclusion bureau. 516 00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.839 Now we actually have the staff to do the work. 517 00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:28.559 When it comes to doing why does she dress like 518 00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.680 a man? Regardless if she wants to be a take 519 00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.039 care the EI woman. 520 00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:34.720 The fire stations and in our work environment, the plan 521 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:36.799 is to do so by adding training and enforcing it. 522 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.759 She's a lesbian calls for accountability have echoed for years. 523 00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:43.440 In twenty twenty one, women's advocacy groups, including one representing 524 00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:46.799 female firefighters, pushed for changes at the highest level, saying 525 00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.279 a system within the department exposes them to abuse, bullying, 526 00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:52.519 and a culture of intimidation and retaliation. 527 00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:56.359 Well, there, there, you have a report from the matriarchy. 528 00:32:56.880 --> 00:33:00.920 You know, two women and the in the newsroom as 529 00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:03.680 anchors and women reporter out there talking about how wonderful 530 00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:09.720 is that they're going to have women firefighters. And I 531 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:12.400 wonder if any of those women doing that report two 532 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.200 years ago. I wonder if they lost their homes and 533 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:18.440 how they feel about it now? You like the fact 534 00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.920 that they got more women firefighters and they didn't invest 535 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.720 in any equipment. They're still playing these gender games. You 536 00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:26.839 like that? How do you like losing your home? LA 537 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.640 County also posted on October twenty fourth video touting a 538 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.440 one day DEI planning event hosted by the Anti Racism, 539 00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:41.559 Diversity and Inclusion Initiative. So before being confirmed, Crowley vowed 540 00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:45.160 to quote fully commit to fostering a diverse, equitable, and 541 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:48.160 inclusive culture within the LA Fire Department. No, you've got 542 00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:52.559 one job. Make sure that you can put out fires 543 00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:55.720 instead of what she wants to do is burn society now, 544 00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.759 So again, regardless of qualifications, they're going to be by 545 00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:07.240 hiring people who have checked the boxes. People ask me, well, 546 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.719 what number are you looking for? Crowley said, I'm not 547 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:16.400 looking for a number. It's never enough. Addicted to it, 548 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:20.320 like these rich people, the richest man in the world. 549 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:25.280 How much is enough? Just a little bit more. Only 550 00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:29.599 one hundred and fifteen of the city's three and thirty 551 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:33.920 firefighters are women. The station observed, I wonder can those 552 00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:36.199 one hundred and fifteen women can they carry somebody out 553 00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:41.400 of a burning building? Has strength to do that? It's 554 00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:47.039 not an easy job. As the report, a twenty five 555 00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:51.840 year old female firefighter has sustained serious head injury battling 556 00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:56.239 this Palisades fire. Well, the response of some of the 557 00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:59.920 people as they talk about this is a person said, well, 558 00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:03.400 I wonder if people will start respecting climate science. Now 559 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.760 that's California. That's a response a lot of these people. 560 00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:15.079 If we had only listened to Michael Mann and Al Gore, 561 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:21.519 we'd be fine. Now. Uh yeah, gotta respect climate science now. 562 00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:27.159 Now you gotta stop worrying about climate change. And start 563 00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:32.199 thinking about government change. You know, forget about changing the climate, 564 00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:37.519 think about changing your government. As I said before, hurricanes 565 00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:40.199 in Florida, tornadoes in the Midwest, fires in California. So 566 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.440 this is this is not a change. This has always 567 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:49.760 been going on, and the change has been in the 568 00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:53.480 response to these things. The change is that our response 569 00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:59.119 is getting increasingly. I guess deadwood is the best way 570 00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:01.119 to describe it, because what is one of the biggest 571 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:03.960 problems with these with the fire, but it's deadwood in 572 00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.800 the government, and it's people who are dead between their ears. 573 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:09.800 Like this person comment and said, well, we're going to 574 00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:15.320 respect climate change. Now it's California wildfire's rage. Some questioned 575 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:21.280 Biden's ban on controlled burns and also the DEI fire chief. Look, 576 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.639 it's really you got getting the dead wood out of there. 577 00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:27.719 These control burns can get out of control. If you've 578 00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:31.079 got a lot of fuel on the ground, that may 579 00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:33.079 not be a good thing to do. Do you remember 580 00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:38.480 the Hammonds up in Oregon? Remember how you know there 581 00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:44.519 was the they did a backburn to protect their property 582 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:46.760 and because it didn't burn, it didn't burn any trees 583 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:48.519 out there where they were. It's just open prairie. So 584 00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:52.400 it burned some weeds and shrubs, and it was a 585 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:56.079 small area, just a couple of acres, and they came 586 00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:59.800 after them with terrorist charges. And so wait a minute. 587 00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:03.519 The government does backburns all the time, and they've had 588 00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:07.679 backburns that have gotten out of control. But again, you know, 589 00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:12.280 they came after them, you know, with terrorist charges because 590 00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:16.480 they wanted their property bottom line. And you can put 591 00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:19.119 them out of business with the fines and take the 592 00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:21.400 father and the grandfather and you put them in jail. 593 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:29.519 So control burns are not necessarily the solution. James Wood 594 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:33.280 talking about the loss of his home again, I showed 595 00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:37.039 you the pictures of his neighbor sent to him driving 596 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.199 through the neighborhood. And they did a great job of 597 00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:44.360 evacuating people out. And he said, to all the wonderful 598 00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:46.039 people who've reached out to us, just letting you know 599 00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:48.639 that we were able to evacuate successfully. I do not 600 00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:50.760 know at the moment if our home is still standing 601 00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:53.440 with sadly houses on our little street or not. We 602 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:55.960 were blessed to have LA fire and police departments doing 603 00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:58.440 their jobs so well we were safe and out. There 604 00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:01.280 were several elementary schools in our neighborhood. There was an 605 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:05.280 enormous community effort to evacuate the children safely. Cannot speak 606 00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.760 more highly of the LA Fire and LA Police Department. 607 00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:12.760 An ext user then said the irony of James Woods, 608 00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:17.039 known for his skepticism about climate change, losing his home 609 00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:20.639 to the very wildfires linked to climate change impacts in 610 00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:26.119 California is striking. James Woods responded, he said, the fire 611 00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:29.320 is not from climate change. You ignorant a whole It's 612 00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:34.280 because liberal idiots like you elect liberal idiots like Newsome 613 00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:38.239 and Karen Bass. One doesn't understand the first thing about 614 00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:41.639 fire management, and the other one can't fill a water reservoir. 615 00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:45.840 He also posted a photo of the LA Fire Chief 616 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:50.400 Kristen Crowley, who and this is the photo that he 617 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:54.199 puts up. This is her profile, he said. Her policies 618 00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:58.320 are stated in her bio. She says, creating and supporting 619 00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:01.840 and promoting a culture that values diversity, inclusion, and equity 620 00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:04.800 while striving to meet and to exceed expectations of the 621 00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:08.920 communities are Chief Crowley's priorities, and she is grateful for 622 00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:13.199 the opportunity to serve the city of La. She's fiddling 623 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:18.800 around with gender games. Will the city burns? He said. 624 00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:21.920 Refilling the water reservoirs would have been a welcome priority too, 625 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:24.239 but I guess she had too much on her plate 626 00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:31.039 and promoting diversity. And later on he said, well, now 627 00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:33.480 all the fire alarms are going off at once, remotely, 628 00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:36.159 he said. It tests your soul, losing everything at once, 629 00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:39.159 I must say, he said, And I feel sorry for him. 630 00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:42.119 I mean, he's I don't know him. I don't know 631 00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:44.440 what his financial situation is. He hasn't worked for a 632 00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:46.559 long time because he's been banned in Hollywood, but he's 633 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:48.840 probably pretty wealthy. And you know, the people who are 634 00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:52.800 ninety years old and lost their home. It is a 635 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:55.639 difficult thing, is as I said, you know, whenever you 636 00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.599 lose everything. And when I look at that, I look 637 00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:04.719 at the toe devastation of a fire where nothing is saved. 638 00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:09.039 As I said, your Karen's brother, and they lost their 639 00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:12.079 home and nothing was saved because they were gone. It 640 00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:14.079 lightning hit it in the middle of the night, and 641 00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:17.800 nobody really noticed that it was on fire until it 642 00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:21.119 was a raging inferno and then the neighbors. The neighbors 643 00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:22.679 woke up, but it was in the wee hours of 644 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:25.400 the morning, and so it had to be you know, 645 00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:27.880 it was going on for quite some time before anybody noticed, 646 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:31.320 before anybody called the fire department. But you know, isn't 647 00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:34.519 that really what everything in this world is ultimately about. 648 00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:38.559 We're told that everything is going to burn. It doesn't 649 00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:42.159 matter what things that you have done. I mean, when 650 00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:45.039 you die, everything is going to be left behind. But 651 00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:48.440 a lot of people assuage that by saying, wow, yeah, 652 00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:51.880 but I you know, the people who have done very 653 00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:55.159 famous you know that maybe their movie star, maybe they're 654 00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:59.159 a politician, maybe they did something like make Queenland a 655 00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:05.480 part of the United States. The bottom line is all 656 00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:10.599 of your accomplishments, things that you've left behind. Maybe you're 657 00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:13.840 going to build a building and this is a masterpiece 658 00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.119 of a building and it's going to stay well. You know, 659 00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:17.920 we've had some buildings that have staved up for a 660 00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:20.440 thousand years in the UK and other places like that 661 00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:24.960 that are still pretty impressive. But everything is going to 662 00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:30.039 burn one day. Nothing is going to remain. That's something 663 00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:33.719 to think about. La Mayor Karen Bass again, as I said, 664 00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:38.800 she was on a trip with a boondoggle. The Office 665 00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:42.880 of Management and Budget, they don't care at all about 666 00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:50.239 saving money, none whatsoever. So Karen Bass cut the fire 667 00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:54.199 department budget by four hundred and eighteen million dollars. Yeah, 668 00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:55.840 who would think that you would have a fire in 669 00:41:56.000 --> 00:42:03.039 la Let's uh, we don't have to prepare for the 670 00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:08.000 common natural disaster here. Now she's asking for volunteers to 671 00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:16.679 fight a fire, all while she is on vacation in Ghana. Yeah, 672 00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:20.000 I think this really kind of sums up California. Here's 673 00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:21.840 a clip I played for you before. You know, the 674 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:24.000 jingle that we all know like a good neighbor State 675 00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:28.599 Farm is there? Well, here is Barry Manilow who wrote 676 00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:33.239 that jingle, singing with Rosie o'donald, singing together. They had 677 00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:34.880 a thing where they got together and they sang a 678 00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:37.760 bunch of the commercials they write. It's amazing how many 679 00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:42.440 commercial jingles very Manilow wrote. But here's the two of them. 680 00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:44.079 And this really kind of sums it up, doesn't You 681 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.639 got all three of them. You got the California, you 682 00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:50.599 got the radical leftists, the Hollywood stars, and you've even 683 00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:51.880 got state Farm all thrown in. 684 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:56.039 Have we got grinding wherever you are? 685 00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:08.159 Yeah? I still play it? Well, No, actually, a state 686 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:12.280 farm has gotten to a better state. That's the new jingle, 687 00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:15.360 We're going to get to a better state. Oh look, 688 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:18.599 Karen Bassa's budget call for the elimination of LA's Emergency 689 00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:22.039 Management Department's positions, the department that is running this show. 690 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:26.480 This is after she cut the fire department. First of all, 691 00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:28.960 she cut the fire department by four hundred and eighteen million, 692 00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:31.639 Then she did another seventeen million. Then she ran the 693 00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:37.599 Emergency Management department. Cut them. She called for the elimination 694 00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.239 of them, but she didn't get that done. Those are 695 00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:44.119 the people are actually organizing the response. Maybe they should 696 00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:45.960 be fired. I don't know. We're going to take a 697 00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:48.599 quick break and we will be right. 698 00:43:48.400 --> 00:46:31.119 Back in defending the American dream. You're listening to the 699 00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:32.320 David Knight Show. 700 00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:36.239 Well, we've got a lot of comments here Brandon's revenge 701 00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:39.199 For a minute, and I thought I had awakened to 702 00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:43.639 the terminator. Yeah. Began the show with a clip from 703 00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:46.320 If You were Just joining with a clip from last 704 00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:52.039 year's State Farm Super Bowl commercial. I know, Schwarzeniga, Brian 705 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:55.599 Dev McCartney. They want LA as a smart start for 706 00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:59.920 the twenty twenty eight Olympic o Zimpic games. Yeah, they 707 00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:03.280 wanted as a kind of get a little early start 708 00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:05.480 on the smart cities that they want to push in 709 00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:09.880 on us. On twenty thirty Denver Ataway. I'm telling you, 710 00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:12.320 PG and E has been fined tens of millions. One 711 00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:15.599 ruling held them liable for over one billion because of 712 00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.239 the fires that they continue to cause to the awful 713 00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:22.719 infrastructure that's there. Yeah, we don't nobody's talked about the 714 00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:27.480 cause of this yet. I mean late last night they 715 00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:31.920 had zero percent containment of the fire and it was 716 00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:34.400 just all about you, what is going on. They haven't 717 00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:35.920 even gotten to the point where they try to figure 718 00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:38.679 out what started it, and many times it has been 719 00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:45.800 started by electric companies, faulty equipment. Let's see speatrow six 720 00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:48.920 to six insurance began about one hundred years ago, farmers 721 00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:52.480 backing each other against natural disasters or crop failure. Hence 722 00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:55.519 state farm Well, you know that might be the thing 723 00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:59.000 the way to go. We're going to have to folks, 724 00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:00.880 we've got to rebuild our siss and it's going to 725 00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:03.119 only be rebuilt from the bottom up. It's not going 726 00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:05.599 to be done from the top down. The rot, the 727 00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:10.199 stench is from the top down. Don't look to these 728 00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:13.920 people in Washington. Don't even look to your government to 729 00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:15.440 fix this stuff. It's going to have to be done 730 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:18.960 by us if it's going to be done. That's the 731 00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.000 kind of spirit they used to be around America. That's 732 00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:26.000 what made America work. But now everything has been taken 733 00:48:26.039 --> 00:48:29.360 over by corporations, and the corporations have been taken over 734 00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:33.679 by the Marxists who have marched through the institution. Just 735 00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:40.039 as Antonio Gramsey had said, the guy that Pete Boudier's 736 00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:43.760 father loved and trained him to be, like we do 737 00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:47.960 seven New York State Institute in law that requires new homes, 738 00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:50.840 no matter this number of stories, to be earthquake proof. 739 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:55.880 Is that an issue in the New York? Are they 740 00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:57.599 just trying to make it so expensive that nobody can 741 00:48:57.639 --> 00:49:00.800 own a home? The foundation wall has be eighteen inches 742 00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:05.480 as opposed to eight inches. Well, here's the thing, you know, 743 00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:09.719 I subscribe to the three Little pigs philosophy of home building. 744 00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:13.400 You should be able to if you want build your 745 00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:16.840 home out of straw or out of sticks or out 746 00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:21.400 of bricks and suffer the consequences. It's not necessary because 747 00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:25.039 the alternative is, you know, certainly people can be informed 748 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:27.000 that you know, when the big bad wolf comes around, 749 00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:29.639 he's going to blow your house down. Maybe you need 750 00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:31.199 to build it out of bricks, but not everybody can 751 00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:34.239 afford to build their house out of bricks, and some 752 00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:38.000 people would. They're not going to have a home if 753 00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:41.280 they can't build it out of straw or sticks. And 754 00:49:41.360 --> 00:49:45.280 so if you have a situation where people can are 755 00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:49.840 allowed to build the homes that they can afford, then 756 00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:52.039 if there is damage or destruction to their homes, they 757 00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.519 can rebuild it. You know, they can rebuild that stick home. 758 00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:59.559 They can rebuild that straw home. And yet what we're 759 00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:03.239 seeing in in North Carolina, and so when you had 760 00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:05.880 volunteers come in, you had the Amish come in. Mennonites 761 00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:08.800 are doing it as well, building homes for people. No, No, 762 00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:11.400 you can't have that here. No, we're going to tear 763 00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:16.400 that down. You don't have water and electricity to this home, 764 00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:17.840 so we're going to tear your home down. It's like 765 00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:19.239 you tear my home down. I don't have water and 766 00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:23.719 electricity either, Right, can't I build what can be done 767 00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:26.760 in the moment or what I can afford at the moment. No, 768 00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:28.920 you're going to build it to our standards, or you'll 769 00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:32.039 have nothing. It's going to be what we consider to 770 00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:35.880 be perfect, or it'll be nothing. I really don't like that. 771 00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:39.400 I prefer the three Little pigs model. I think people 772 00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:43.199 need to if somebody if they have if a flood 773 00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:45.199 is wiped out there, No, you can't have. Now we've 774 00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:48.159 declared this a flood area, so you cannot have a 775 00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:52.480 mobile home. And yet FEMA goes in and lives in 776 00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:55.519 very very nice mobile homes that they have set up, 777 00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:58.840 manufactured houses that they put in. They're allowed to stay there. 778 00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:01.920 FEMA allows itself to stay there and stay in these 779 00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:07.239 types of homes. But not you, not you. Blowton says 780 00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.559 there were fifteen trucks lined up in a lot in 781 00:51:10.639 --> 00:51:16.840 Pacific Palisades area waiting for instructions. Oh oh, they following 782 00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:19.559 him must have been trained by FEMA where they have 783 00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:25.519 people go collect eight thousand dollars a week. Handity, Henny Handy, Sorry, 784 00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:29.800 don't mean to compare you to that guy. Handy said, yeah, 785 00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:32.000 we saw this stuff because he does the MS. He said, 786 00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:34.920 we saw they were going to pay them eight thousand 787 00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:37.960 dollars a week. And he said, for weeks they've been 788 00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:43.159 setting in hotel rooms as well doing nothing. Say more, 789 00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:45.519 I watch fireman spend two or three hours putting out 790 00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:48.480 of fire on a single home under ordinary conditions. There 791 00:51:48.599 --> 00:51:52.280 reports of five hundred homes destroyed and five hours. Yeah, 792 00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:55.039 and they don't have any control over this. Now, I 793 00:51:55.039 --> 00:52:02.800 mean it's a massive disaster. But again they were caught unprepared, 794 00:52:03.679 --> 00:52:08.599 uninterested in doing anything to alleviate that, not at all interested. 795 00:52:09.559 --> 00:52:12.480 Not a Southern Bell Rights state farm will not replace 796 00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:17.199 your roof due to hail damage. WHOA, it's important to know. 797 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:20.400 All my neighbors had their roofs replaced. I had to 798 00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:24.159 sue them, so it cost me ten thousand dollars instead 799 00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:28.000 of my one thousand dollars deductible. I live in South Mississippi. 800 00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:28.840 Wow. 801 00:52:29.519 --> 00:52:34.239 Wow, this is why people are talking about the fact 802 00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:40.360 that this guy, Luigi Mangioni might get off with dury 803 00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:45.000 qualification because people hate these insurance companies so much they 804 00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:50.360 might let him get away with murder. Because evidently these 805 00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:53.440 insurance companies, like the pharmaceutical companies, are getting away with 806 00:52:53.559 --> 00:52:57.119 murder in one form or the other. AUDI Modern retro 807 00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:00.199 radio get to see who says we're witnessing Phase one 808 00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:03.320 build back better from the North Carolina hurricane to the 809 00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:06.679 California fires of the East Palestine, Ohio train wreck and 810 00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:09.599 toxics billing, on and on. Yeah, I know there's not 811 00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:17.199 You look at it and it's the combination of government 812 00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:20.000 and competence, and you have to say, at what point 813 00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:24.239 do you separate that from malice in design? And at 814 00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:26.760 what point does it really matter if they're that incompetent. 815 00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:31.159 So this is let's cover a little bit of news 816 00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:35.599 here of other topics, miscellaneous topics. Here we've got Well 817 00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:37.639 Street journal. I thought it's kind of interesting. They finally 818 00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:41.559 got around about a month after Brian Schulhave at Health 819 00:53:41.559 --> 00:53:45.599 Impact News talked about Elon Musk being one of the 820 00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:51.559 top twenty globally in a very widely played video game, 821 00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:57.960 competing against people who make millions doing this, and yet 822 00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:00.280 he's in the top twenty and you don't get that 823 00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:03.360 level unless you play it all day and all night 824 00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:05.400 type of thing. I mean, you've got to be dedicated 825 00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:07.880 to this kind of stuff. And so Brian shall Hobby said, so, 826 00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:10.559 what does this tell us about him? Tells us that 827 00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:13.880 he's not the one running the companies. What is it 828 00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:15.920 that he's doing? What is his job. This job is 829 00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:18.239 to buy the politicians, as you see him doing with 830 00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:24.000 Elon with Donald Trump. This is a Wall Street Journal headline. 831 00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:28.119 Now again, about a month after Brian Shall Hobby pointed 832 00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:31.719 this out, Musk vaulted to the top of a popular 833 00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:34.360 video game and everyone is asking where he found the time. 834 00:54:35.320 --> 00:54:38.280 He's head of six companies, but he recently became one 835 00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:42.239 of the world's top Diablo four players. A milestone gamer 836 00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:47.000 say would have required playing all day every day, said, 837 00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:50.920 the Blockbuster video game is set in a dark fantasy 838 00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:55.119 realm that involves making elixirs and slaying demons. But there 839 00:54:55.199 --> 00:54:57.880 is nothing about any video game that's going to be 840 00:54:57.880 --> 00:54:59.960 a darker fantasy than what Elon Musk wants to do 841 00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:02.840 to us in real life. This is a guy who 842 00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:06.239 wants to put, you know, brain computer interface chips in 843 00:55:06.280 --> 00:55:09.000 our heads. This is a guy who wants us to 844 00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:12.920 become transhumanist cyborgs. This is a guy who says unless 845 00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:14.239 we do that we're all going to die, and that 846 00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:17.880 he's summoning the demons with his artificial intelligence. This is 847 00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:22.400 a guy that is worshiped by the right from Babylon 848 00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:26.559 B to the Maga cult. He saved free speech. Look 849 00:55:26.599 --> 00:55:29.519 at this, he's our free speech. Where No, he paid 850 00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:33.119 forty five billion dollars or whatever it was he paid 851 00:55:33.159 --> 00:55:37.000 that said he could pick your brain and feed it 852 00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:41.360 into his AI and so that he could manipulate public 853 00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:47.320 opinion to support him. There's no altruism here, none whatsoever. 854 00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:51.199 You know, government uses this AI to survey them to 855 00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:55.000 control us. You know, you might use it for other things, 856 00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:57.840 just like a computer. You I had somebody yesterday saying, oh, yes, 857 00:55:57.920 --> 00:56:01.320 David Knight says that AI is demonic and is evil, 858 00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:03.400 and yet he uses it for his graphics. It's like, 859 00:56:03.760 --> 00:56:06.800 you're right, I do. It's the very same thing as computers. 860 00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:09.920 You know, computers can be used to launch nuclear war, 861 00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:12.760 or computers can be used to surveil and control us. 862 00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:16.360 Or I can use a computer for good purposes, but 863 00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:20.079 the government will use it for that. And that's the point. 864 00:56:20.280 --> 00:56:22.920 When I talk about AI, talked about how the government 865 00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:28.119 is using it as a weapon against us, and when 866 00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:30.239 I talk about it being demonic, I said, don't be 867 00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:35.719 taken in by it, don't rely on it for information. 868 00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:42.639 It will lie to you. It's trained to lie to you. Well, 869 00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:45.599 hostsale a prices as We had a listener yesterday saying, 870 00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:47.400 I live in a rural area for the first time, 871 00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:52.199 is no eggs at any price on the shelves, So 872 00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:55.320 this is zero edge hostsale. Egg prices hit record shortages 873 00:56:55.360 --> 00:57:02.360 reported at supermarkets. Said, this is the ongoing devastating impact 874 00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:09.360 of the highly pathogenic avian influenza. No, it's not bird flu. 875 00:57:09.440 --> 00:57:12.039 Isn't doing this to us. The government is doing it 876 00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:15.719 to us, supposedly to save us from bird fu just 877 00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:19.320 like COVID didn't do anything. Everybody said, well, COVID did this, 878 00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:21.840 and COVID did that, COVID locked us down, COVID put 879 00:57:21.880 --> 00:57:25.480 masks on our face. No, that was Trump and it 880 00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:29.480 was Biden. It wasn't COVID. And this is not being 881 00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:34.760 done to us by bird flu. It would be their response. 882 00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:38.280 Even if this was real, and it's not real. It's 883 00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:42.719 not a real issue, you know, even if the PCR 884 00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:50.159 was returning legitimate results, the response wouldn't make any sense. 885 00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:53.719 It's like the climate change for guffn right, even if 886 00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:58.280 climate change were real, does the Parish climate accord in 887 00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:00.960 response to that? Does that make any Are you going 888 00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:06.519 to allow China to add two coal power plants per week. Well, 889 00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:08.159 you tell everybody else in the world that coal is 890 00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:11.320 not allowed, not even if you put scrubbers on it. No, 891 00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:14.480 there's another agenda going on here with that. You know, 892 00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:18.320 even if their paradigm, even if their mcguffin were true, 893 00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:24.000 their solution doesn't make any sense. And even if their 894 00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:27.880 PCR able to identify and not give us false positives, 895 00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.760 which is what it does, they've magnified it so much. 896 00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:36.320 But even if it was able to identify disease. Not 897 00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.840 all birds die if they get bird flu, but if 898 00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:42.360 one bird tests positive, they don't even have to have 899 00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:45.960 any sick birds. They kill all the birds. Now, how 900 00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:49.480 does that make any sense? It doesn't. There's another agenda 901 00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:53.000 going on here, and you can see the agenda in 902 00:58:53.039 --> 00:58:57.960 the hotel food prices. As they point out, they said 903 00:58:58.079 --> 00:59:04.360 that food prices have gone up by about seventy percent 904 00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:11.039 in the last two months compared to November. In California, 905 00:59:11.079 --> 00:59:13.679 Lone USDA data showed the price of a dozen large 906 00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:16.360 white eggs spiked as high as eight dollars nine seven 907 00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:19.480 cents last week from five dollars and twenty three cents 908 00:59:19.519 --> 00:59:25.920 in late November, a seventy percent increase from Thanksgiving to today. 909 00:59:26.119 --> 00:59:29.840 I mean, that's not even two months, right, it maybe 910 00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:40.000 six weeks seventy percent increase. So never underestimate, or to say, 911 00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:45.000 to quote George W. Bush, never misunderestimate the power of 912 00:59:45.039 --> 00:59:49.760 the government to destroy and it took quickly. They said. 913 00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:53.440 Seventeen million egg laying hens and younger birds known as pullets, 914 00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:56.840 had been called since mid October one of the worst 915 00:59:56.960 --> 01:00:01.159 stretches in the current bird flew outbreak since the virus 916 01:00:01.239 --> 01:00:05.199 first emerged in Natia and national flocks in February twenty 917 01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:08.280 twenty two. That's the way they reported. That's absolute nonsense, 918 01:00:10.280 --> 01:00:14.639 and that's Bloomberg and the Zero Hedges paraphrasing what they 919 01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:18.639 had to say. Again, it's not the virus it's killing him. 920 01:00:18.760 --> 01:00:23.679 It's the government. It's their tactic that is causing seventeen 921 01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:27.920 million egg laying hens to die. They wouldn't lose all 922 01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:32.320 of Look in worst case scenario, you have a case 923 01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:36.320 fatality rate of one hundred percent, it wouldn't be all 924 01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:40.800 of them, and the ones who survived would be ones 925 01:00:40.800 --> 01:00:43.519 who had better immune systems or whatever. If this were real. 926 01:00:43.679 --> 01:00:47.079 It's not real. They're going in getting a PCR test 927 01:00:47.119 --> 01:00:52.760 and just killing every last bird. The PCR test magnifies 928 01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:55.480 whatever it sees in the old version. They've got a 929 01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:58.679 more sensitive digital version now the old version they're running 930 01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:02.400 it for forty cycles, would magnify whatever they're looking for. 931 01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:06.280 To find anything, they could find anything, said carry mellis 932 01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:09.320 that developer of it. So they magnify both one point 933 01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:18.599 one trillion times, and then you have this. You know, 934 01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:23.239 they kill all the birds case fatality rate of one 935 01:01:23.280 --> 01:01:27.440 hundred percent. We don't have anything that's that bad, nothing 936 01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:29.519 that is that bad. How in the world could they 937 01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:34.599 possibly even justify that Google search trend of egg shortage 938 01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:39.079 has erupted to the highest levels since late twenty twenty two. 939 01:01:39.400 --> 01:01:43.639 This is all happening as predicted, all happening as planned 940 01:01:43.960 --> 01:01:46.880 eggshells in northern California. What's going on here? In all 941 01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:50.559 my life, I've never seen food shortages like this. Unacceptable, 942 01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:55.039 said one person on Twitter. Another one says, seems like 943 01:01:55.159 --> 01:01:59.960 there is an egg scam yearly now, a so called 944 01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:03.280 to shortage and then prices skyrocket. Well, it is a 945 01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:07.480 real shortage, but I understand that it's not affecting the 946 01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:10.920 big companies like it is the small ones. The purpose 947 01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:12.800 of this is to put out small farms out of business, 948 01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:16.440 and then they will come for your backyard chickens. One 949 01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:18.719 person says, get backyard chickens for a steady supply of 950 01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:21.320 your own eggs. That's that's where they're going to go. Though, 951 01:02:22.159 --> 01:02:25.280 after they put the small farms out of business, consider 952 01:02:25.320 --> 01:02:27.679 building a chicken coop, planning a garden of steps towards 953 01:02:27.679 --> 01:02:30.079 becoming ungovernable. Yes, that's right, we need to do that. 954 01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:33.480 And you know that's the sad reality of what is 955 01:02:33.519 --> 01:02:39.199 happening in DC. We have Lauren Bobert has introduced a 956 01:02:39.239 --> 01:02:42.239 bill to abolish the ATF. Now, we could all cheer 957 01:02:42.280 --> 01:02:45.159 for that, except there's some problems here in the details. 958 01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:48.559 I'm one hundred percent for this, one hundred percent for 959 01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:51.880 it's a great thing. The problem is that the Republicans, 960 01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:54.280 even when they do the right thing, they'll frequently frequently 961 01:02:54.320 --> 01:02:58.559 do it for the wrong reason, which keeps them from 962 01:02:58.599 --> 01:03:03.159 actually getting the right thing done. So you know, I'm 963 01:03:03.199 --> 01:03:07.000 one hundred percent for abolishing the alcohol to back on firearms, 964 01:03:08.039 --> 01:03:10.159 and I'm also one hundred percent for getting rid of 965 01:03:10.159 --> 01:03:12.360 the EPA, one hundred percent for getting rid of both 966 01:03:12.360 --> 01:03:15.280 of the dees the Department of Education, the Department of Energy. 967 01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:16.840 Let's get rid of all of these things and just 968 01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:19.679 keep going all these alphabet agencies for which there is 969 01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:23.960 no constitutional support, these things that are not allowed in 970 01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:26.719 the Constitution. If you read the Constitution, the ninth and 971 01:03:26.760 --> 01:03:30.079 tenth Amendment, they were not given explicit power to get 972 01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:31.719 into these different areas. As a matter of fact, the 973 01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:35.159 very existence of the ATF is repudiation of the Second Amendment. 974 01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:40.480 Second Amendment says, shall not infringe. Every regulation that the 975 01:03:40.519 --> 01:03:43.679 ATF does is an infringement on our God given right 976 01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:48.639 of self defense. Every single thing they do is an infringement. 977 01:03:49.719 --> 01:03:52.800 And the founders didn't say you're not going to prohibit guns. 978 01:03:53.360 --> 01:03:55.719 They said you're not going to infringe on them. They 979 01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:59.119 knew how this stuff works. It's nothing new for fautu 980 01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:01.000 to say, how do we get this done? Well, we 981 01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:03.400 do it with disruption and chaos, and we do it 982 01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:06.519 from the inside, and we do it iteratively. That's what 983 01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:11.159 infringement is about. And so we have in the first Amendment, 984 01:04:11.239 --> 01:04:14.920 Congress shall make no law abridging free speech and for 985 01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:18.159 exercise or religion and all that kind of stuff. They 986 01:04:18.199 --> 01:04:20.400 could do that with a law but they're not going 987 01:04:20.440 --> 01:04:23.159 to take the guns all at once. They have to 988 01:04:23.159 --> 01:04:26.599 do it a series of infringements. And that's what these 989 01:04:26.679 --> 01:04:31.480 regulations all are. Its very existence is a repudiation of 990 01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:36.559 the Second Amendment. In November twenty twenty four, Representative Eric 991 01:04:36.760 --> 01:04:39.960 Burlison a Republican call for the agency to be abolished 992 01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:44.239 as well. On November the twenty fifth, he said in 993 01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:46.880 an interview, he said, for several decades, we've been a disaster. 994 01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:52.039 They've been a disaster agency which has been violating the 995 01:04:52.039 --> 01:04:57.400 Second Amendment. ADF issued numerous now here's where Breitbart covers 996 01:04:57.440 --> 01:05:01.840 for Trump, you know, because I've talked about it multiple times, 997 01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:06.960 how Trump set the precedent for gun control by executive 998 01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:10.840 order and that Biden followed it, and that La La 999 01:05:10.920 --> 01:05:13.000 Harris said immediately after he did it, Oh, I'm going 1000 01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:14.800 to give Congress hundre days and if they don't enact 1001 01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:16.679 my gun control agenda, I'll do it by executive order. 1002 01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:18.800 She said that right after Trump said I can do 1003 01:05:18.840 --> 01:05:21.119 the bump stock. I can take the bump stock out. 1004 01:05:21.920 --> 01:05:25.440 And then in twenty nineteen, he decided that he was 1005 01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:30.239 going to do pistol braces next, and he prohibited pistol braces. 1006 01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:34.639 The ATF under him, and it is his responsibility. When 1007 01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:38.280 they talk about what the ATF is doing, they put it, 1008 01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:40.840 they lay it at the feet of Biden, and they're 1009 01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:43.480 absolutely right to do that, but they won't lay it 1010 01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:46.920 at the feet of Trump when he's president, you see. 1011 01:05:49.000 --> 01:05:52.239 And so he put in the pistol brace in twenty nineteen. 1012 01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:57.159 He took it out in December of twenty twenty when 1013 01:05:57.159 --> 01:06:00.239 he was fighting to stay in office, and because he 1014 01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:03.360 had opposition on that one from the NRA, the NRA 1015 01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:05.039 just laid down and said, no, you can do the 1016 01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:09.159 bump stock stuff. We don't care. Others saw it the 1017 01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:11.519 principle that was being established, but the NRA didn't care. 1018 01:06:11.960 --> 01:06:14.280 The NRA did care about the pistol brace, and so 1019 01:06:14.400 --> 01:06:17.440 Trump removed it in December of twenty twenty, and then Biden, 1020 01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:21.920 on taking office, picked it up again. And Bribar just 1021 01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:26.639 ignores all of that and points to it being one 1022 01:06:26.719 --> 01:06:30.039 hundred percent Biden. But Trump set the precedent, and Trump 1023 01:06:30.119 --> 01:06:32.360 even put in pistol brace. This is what Breitbart says. 1024 01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:36.039 The ATF issued numerous rules during the Biden and Harris administration. 1025 01:06:36.400 --> 01:06:42.920 See always making about partisan politics. Aren't they criminalized owners 1026 01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:46.639 of legally purchased ar pistol stabilizers. That's the pistol brace. 1027 01:06:47.559 --> 01:06:50.239 Another one of the ATFS rules declared that eighty percent 1028 01:06:50.280 --> 01:06:54.760 firearm frames are firearms. And yet another ATF rule circumvented 1029 01:06:54.840 --> 01:07:00.480 Congress via new regulations against private gun sales. Okay, so 1030 01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:04.280 Trump does a precedent. He does the first two, the 1031 01:07:04.320 --> 01:07:07.320 bump stock and the pistol brace, and then under Biden 1032 01:07:07.519 --> 01:07:09.679 you have three of them, and one of them is 1033 01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:13.960 the pistol brace. Again, but it's all Biden. Trump didn't 1034 01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:16.599 have anything to do with it. The first president to 1035 01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:19.519 say that I can do gun control. I don't need 1036 01:07:19.559 --> 01:07:22.480 to have Congress violate the Constitution. I can do that myself. Fortunately, 1037 01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:27.800 so Bobert has rallied against the ATF and the last Congress, 1038 01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:31.480 saying that the agency goes way too far in rule 1039 01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:35.519 making authorities. Wait a minute, if you read the Constitution, 1040 01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:37.880 they don't have any rule making authorities. They I'm having 1041 01:07:38.079 --> 01:07:45.039 the authority to infringe on anything, none whatsoever. So they 1042 01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:48.840 still don't address Congress still doesn't address the problem. She 1043 01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:51.599 said in February of last year, there's been a lot 1044 01:07:51.639 --> 01:07:54.679 of talk about defunding the ATF, even abolishing the agency altogether. 1045 01:07:54.679 --> 01:07:56.840 And I'm still waiting to hear a good reason why 1046 01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:59.760 the ATF should remain an agency at all. Instead of 1047 01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:07.280 regulations that keep our communities safe, what instead of providing 1048 01:08:07.360 --> 01:08:10.199 regulations that keep our community safe, this agency has made 1049 01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:16.239 our communities more dangerous by wandering weapons. Wondering, I think 1050 01:08:16.279 --> 01:08:19.199 she means it's supposed to be laundering weapons to the cartels, 1051 01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:21.560 you know, the fast and furious is what she refers to, 1052 01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:26.960 that type of thing. What even a Republican congressman who 1053 01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:29.399 puts in a bill to get rid of the ATF 1054 01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:33.880 thinks that they have a legitimate purpose in providing regulations 1055 01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:37.640 to keep us safe? Are you kidding me? You got 1056 01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:41.439 a choice here. You can have safety or you can 1057 01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:43.319 have liberty in the constitution. Which one are you going 1058 01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:47.479 to do here? We've already sworn obedience to the constitution, 1059 01:08:48.680 --> 01:08:50.800 So you violated your oath. If you're saying that the 1060 01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:53.920 regulations on the ATF are there to keep people safe, 1061 01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:56.079 that's what their job is. No, they don't have a job. 1062 01:08:56.920 --> 01:09:00.520 They don't have a job. They don't have a legitimate 1063 01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:04.840 reason to exist at all. And then they said, the 1064 01:09:04.840 --> 01:09:08.600 ATF has been accused of regulatory overreach. Every regulation that 1065 01:09:08.640 --> 01:09:11.199 they have is overreach because of every regulation that they've 1066 01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:14.760 got infringes. Well, I hope they do something about it. 1067 01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:18.079 We'll see. But they still do not understand what the 1068 01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:22.680 issue is. They don't understand the issue. They don't understand, 1069 01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:27.720 and they won't address the fact that Congress has abdicated 1070 01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:32.600 its law making to the bureaucrats who do rules. And 1071 01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:36.520 what's even worse because they have no accountability, they're not elected. 1072 01:09:37.159 --> 01:09:39.800 What's even worse is that they claim, and this is 1073 01:09:39.840 --> 01:09:42.079 not true, they claim that a regulation is not a law. 1074 01:09:42.199 --> 01:09:44.800 It's the same thing you and I know that. But 1075 01:09:44.840 --> 01:09:47.000 they say, well, because it's a regulation and not a law, 1076 01:09:47.279 --> 01:09:49.960 none of the protections of the Bill of Rights apply. 1077 01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:54.239 So if you're going to go with that, then why 1078 01:09:54.359 --> 01:09:56.520 would you If they're going to just wipe out the 1079 01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:59.239 Bill of Rights by saying we're going to let laws 1080 01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:02.880 be made by bureaucrats and then we're going to say 1081 01:10:02.920 --> 01:10:06.359 that Bill RICE doesn't apply, well, why wouldn't they do 1082 01:10:06.439 --> 01:10:09.359 gun control by executive order in the executive branch and 1083 01:10:09.439 --> 01:10:15.800 the bureaucracies. It's a given emulate did emulated voids that 1084 01:10:15.880 --> 01:10:19.640 he doesn't play. I saw a new video where pro 1085 01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:23.439 players say that he doesn't know what he's doing a 1086 01:10:23.439 --> 01:10:27.319 path of exile too. Well, it's interesting. I don't know 1087 01:10:27.359 --> 01:10:30.039 how he gets that there. Maybe maybe he's got Ai 1088 01:10:30.119 --> 01:10:39.199 playing it for him. Maybe he's got grock Is actually 1089 01:10:39.199 --> 01:10:41.319 should be the name that is in the top twenty 1090 01:10:41.439 --> 01:10:44.640 that's there. Who knows. He certainly has taken a lot 1091 01:10:44.680 --> 01:10:46.640 of time off to hang around with Trump and to 1092 01:10:46.720 --> 01:10:49.399 travel and mar A Lago, and so has Mike Johnson. 1093 01:10:49.439 --> 01:10:53.159 Mike Johnson's always you know, when they pose for pictures, 1094 01:10:53.159 --> 01:10:55.720 he's always photo bombing them, sticking his head in the frame. 1095 01:10:56.079 --> 01:11:01.520 What somebody said, Pierre Polyev and Canada is another Mike 1096 01:11:01.600 --> 01:11:05.279 Johnson certainly as that was like it. If he's got 1097 01:11:05.319 --> 01:11:07.680 to walk the line, figure out how he's not going 1098 01:11:07.720 --> 01:11:13.760 to offend President Trump. Wow, Atomic Dog. The week of Christmas, 1099 01:11:13.920 --> 01:11:16.600 A dozens of large eggs. We're nine to ninety five 1100 01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:20.640 at my grocery store. They are six dollars now. Oh, 1101 01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:23.239 that's good that they've gone down. As a matter of fact, 1102 01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:27.520 I've got your I got your email, Atomicdog about the shooting. 1103 01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:29.199 I haven't had time to go through it yet because 1104 01:11:29.199 --> 01:11:30.800 it's fire stuff and everything, but I'm going to get 1105 01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:34.199 to it. Little Ford Schoolhouse. Good to see you there. 1106 01:11:34.199 --> 01:11:36.920 I hope things are going well in your home. They 1107 01:11:37.000 --> 01:11:42.359 lost a family lost lost their mother just before the holidays, 1108 01:11:43.520 --> 01:11:46.279 so keep their family in your prayers. Eggs I get 1109 01:11:46.279 --> 01:11:51.279 here are now twenty two twenty two. Twenty two dollars 1110 01:11:51.279 --> 01:11:54.239 per five dozen. Used to be eleven dollars at the 1111 01:11:54.319 --> 01:11:58.640 beginning of twenty four, and they've kept creeping up. Well 1112 01:11:58.800 --> 01:12:03.119 then they're here in Tennessee. I have no idea how 1113 01:12:03.159 --> 01:12:06.439 much our eggs cost us. We paid dearly in terms 1114 01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:09.680 of trying to keep these things alive. I'm surprised that 1115 01:12:09.680 --> 01:12:12.399 they've made it this far. We've got some Rhode Island reds, 1116 01:12:12.399 --> 01:12:16.920 the biggest birds I've ever seen, and they've got some 1117 01:12:16.960 --> 01:12:21.119 other ones in the barn, and their water was freezing up, 1118 01:12:21.159 --> 01:12:23.359 and so we're out there with all this freezing weather. 1119 01:12:23.439 --> 01:12:26.439 We're trying to get the water unfrozen. Spent a couple 1120 01:12:26.479 --> 01:12:29.920 of hours on this stuff yesterday. It's the heat lamp 1121 01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:33.840 didn't work and to keep the water from freezing anyway. 1122 01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:36.800 Maverick Pilgrim, thank you for the tip. He says, at 1123 01:12:36.880 --> 01:12:39.119 least in my area, there's an increased demand for free 1124 01:12:39.239 --> 01:12:43.199 range eggs. If your chickens experienced winter. They don't lay 1125 01:12:43.239 --> 01:12:46.159 all year round, so in some cases it's not a shortage. 1126 01:12:46.199 --> 01:12:49.920 It's not egg season. Yeah, ours has still been laying 1127 01:12:49.960 --> 01:12:53.119 for some reason, not in the same quantity that they've 1128 01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:55.119 been doing in the past, but a lot of people 1129 01:12:55.119 --> 01:12:58.399 have said that their chickens stopped laying eggs. Of course, 1130 01:12:58.399 --> 01:13:01.880 ours are young, they're not even a year old, but 1131 01:13:02.399 --> 01:13:05.880 that may be part of it. Stealth Patriot, the New 1132 01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:10.159 American Daily Show is no more. Be sure to support 1133 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:12.039 David so that we can keep the best podcast in 1134 01:13:12.039 --> 01:13:14.439 the world going. I didn't know that I had to 1135 01:13:14.479 --> 01:13:19.319 shut down their Daily show. Well, that's sad to see. 1136 01:13:19.479 --> 01:13:20.880 I mean, there's a lot of good information that I've 1137 01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:23.960 gotten from New American. I always liked their stuff. Lately 1138 01:13:24.000 --> 01:13:27.680 though they've been afraid to criticize Trump. But that's not 1139 01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:30.199 what's doing it to them. It's just it's tough. It's 1140 01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:35.199 tough in the news business right now. Germany. Germany's got 1141 01:13:35.199 --> 01:13:39.960 a gun grab going and they are focusing on the 1142 01:13:40.039 --> 01:13:45.640 AfD on their political opposition. It is weaponized and the 1143 01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:49.479 gun control is weaponized against their opponents. They have deemed 1144 01:13:49.680 --> 01:13:53.199 the alternative for deutsch Linn members because they're about stopping 1145 01:13:53.319 --> 01:13:58.079 open immigration and other things as a populist conservative party. 1146 01:13:58.600 --> 01:14:01.880 And I think they I don't know what their situation 1147 01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:05.560 is on climate stuff. But the German government that's there 1148 01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:08.319 right now, they don't care what happens to the people. 1149 01:14:08.399 --> 01:14:11.239 They're going to follow the World Economic Forum climate change, 1150 01:14:11.279 --> 01:14:16.319 the UN climate change stuff. But they say that the 1151 01:14:16.359 --> 01:14:20.520 AfD is quote a danger to public safety. No, actually, 1152 01:14:20.760 --> 01:14:24.000 the AfD is a danger to the establishment, a danger 1153 01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:26.720 to them losing their seats in parliament. That's what's going 1154 01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:29.479 to happen. So far, five AfD members have received to 1155 01:14:29.560 --> 01:14:32.399 notice that their gun license would be revoked. They have 1156 01:14:32.399 --> 01:14:33.800 to have a license there. If they have to have 1157 01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:38.399 a license, it's not a right. Licenses are government privileges 1158 01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:40.000 that can if they're going to give you the privilege, 1159 01:14:40.039 --> 01:14:43.520 they can revoke it. Another member voluntarily returned his license 1160 01:14:43.560 --> 01:14:46.920 after a revocation procedures were initiated. Another fifty one cases 1161 01:14:46.920 --> 01:14:49.720 are currently being examined by authorities. In total, there are 1162 01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:53.159 seventy four members of the AfD just in one region 1163 01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:59.039 of Germany. Saxony on Halt. They hold a firearms license, 1164 01:14:59.079 --> 01:15:03.199 forty nine registered sport shooters and twenty five as hunters, 1165 01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:05.880 and evidently you know you're not allowed, I guess in 1166 01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:10.079 Germany have a gun for self defense. Interesting because you know, 1167 01:15:10.119 --> 01:15:13.000 one of the first places that we had modern gun 1168 01:15:13.039 --> 01:15:17.359 control laws was in Nazi Germany. Got to turn them 1169 01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:23.600 all in, gott to turn them all in. And when 1170 01:15:23.600 --> 01:15:25.560 I was with the Libertarian Party and I would talk 1171 01:15:25.560 --> 01:15:27.760 to the press and I ran for office as well, 1172 01:15:27.800 --> 01:15:30.640 you want to get rid of the ATF. And it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, certainly, 1173 01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:34.680 well you can't do that. And you can't. I said, 1174 01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:37.239 it's a check on government power. It's not a check 1175 01:15:37.279 --> 01:15:41.720 on government power. So do you understand what happened in Germany? 1176 01:15:43.439 --> 01:15:46.680 And do you understand what happened in the Warsaw ghetto? 1177 01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:50.680 As you had people there who had no firearms, but 1178 01:15:51.039 --> 01:15:53.520 they took out a German soldier, took his gun, used 1179 01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:56.279 his gun to get more guns. And as they started 1180 01:15:56.359 --> 01:16:00.840 arming themselves with the guns of leftover soldiers, leftover guns 1181 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:04.479 of soldiers who are no longer with them, they tied 1182 01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:09.800 down a couple of Panzer divisions. I think for quite 1183 01:16:09.800 --> 01:16:13.680 some time until they and it was they couldn't conquer 1184 01:16:13.800 --> 01:16:18.239 these people with all of their modern equipment. They couldn't 1185 01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:21.960 conquer people who had firearms, handguns, that type of thing. 1186 01:16:22.600 --> 01:16:25.239 So what they wound up doing on April nineteenth, the 1187 01:16:25.239 --> 01:16:28.840 same day that the ATF burned down the Branch Davidians, 1188 01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:34.720 they just burned down the Warsaw Ghetto. But yeah, guns 1189 01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:38.039 in the hens of a population can be very very effective. 1190 01:16:39.239 --> 01:16:42.840 Just ask the US military how things went in Iraq 1191 01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:45.399 and other places where they had asymmetric warfare. Is what 1192 01:16:45.399 --> 01:16:49.640 it's called the revocation, and it is a mutually assured destruction. 1193 01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:52.640 You know, it's a bad thing. It's a bad thing, 1194 01:16:52.760 --> 01:16:57.680 but nobody wants that should not want it. But you know, 1195 01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:00.439 we have an armed we have the Second Amendment, and 1196 01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:03.119 we have an armed populace for the same reason that 1197 01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:07.079 you have nuclear weapons. You hope you don't use them, 1198 01:17:07.239 --> 01:17:10.199 but you have them as a deterrent to other people 1199 01:17:10.279 --> 01:17:14.279 using them against you. The revocation of gun license comes 1200 01:17:14.479 --> 01:17:19.319 after the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. That's 1201 01:17:19.319 --> 01:17:22.439 what they call their CIA or their FBI or whatever 1202 01:17:22.479 --> 01:17:27.560 I mean is they call it the BfV V. It's 1203 01:17:27.600 --> 01:17:35.000 not a BFD as a big deal. Germany's powerful domestic 1204 01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:42.720 intelligence agency, that's the BfV, classified the AfD as certainly 1205 01:17:43.079 --> 01:17:47.560 right wing extremists quote unquote. The BfV is a highly 1206 01:17:47.560 --> 01:17:51.439 politicized intelligence agency targeting domestic threats to the constitutional order, 1207 01:17:51.479 --> 01:17:54.960 while critics contend that it is designed to snuff out 1208 01:17:55.039 --> 01:17:58.960 political opposition. H it is just like the FBI and 1209 01:17:59.039 --> 01:18:01.359 the CIA. I wonder if they were trained by the 1210 01:18:01.359 --> 01:18:05.159 CIA after World War Two. I mean, you know, we 1211 01:18:05.159 --> 01:18:08.439 we trained after we overthrew the Iranian government that was 1212 01:18:08.479 --> 01:18:12.000 elected and put in the Shaw. We trained his secret police, 1213 01:18:12.119 --> 01:18:16.640 the Savak. The CIA did. In twenty twenty three, the 1214 01:18:16.840 --> 01:18:20.960 Jira Administrative Court ruled that the Thuringian Ministry of the 1215 01:18:21.000 --> 01:18:24.960 Interior cannot revoke firearm licenses of AfD members in a 1216 01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:27.920 blanket measure. In other words, they were just going to say, 1217 01:18:27.920 --> 01:18:30.720 if you are a member of the AfD, you can 1218 01:18:30.840 --> 01:18:35.239 own a firearm. But they left it open for individual cases. 1219 01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:37.279 And so that's what they're doing. They're coming after them 1220 01:18:37.319 --> 01:18:45.039 on a one by one basis. So this is one 1221 01:18:45.119 --> 01:18:47.520 last story here, which I thought was kind of funny. 1222 01:18:48.920 --> 01:18:52.800 Apple Computer fired one hundred and forty five of their 1223 01:18:53.239 --> 01:18:57.479 H one B Apple employees. These are people who came 1224 01:18:57.479 --> 01:19:01.000 from one region of India. It is kind of a 1225 01:19:01.279 --> 01:19:04.159 region of India where they have a particular language that 1226 01:19:04.199 --> 01:19:07.399 they speak, and that's the name that they have for 1227 01:19:07.560 --> 01:19:12.199 the region, the Telugu. Telugu is the name of the 1228 01:19:13.399 --> 01:19:15.640 that's what they call their tongue and it's also what 1229 01:19:15.640 --> 01:19:17.279 they call their region. Well, these are one hundred and 1230 01:19:17.279 --> 01:19:23.479 forty five people. They realized Apple does matching funds to charities, 1231 01:19:24.920 --> 01:19:29.920 so they set up a charity that with them. They 1232 01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:31.960 would put money in the charity and then they would 1233 01:19:32.000 --> 01:19:37.680 tell Apple and Apple would match that. They got hoisted 1234 01:19:37.680 --> 01:19:44.119 by their own h one b petard, didn't they So yeah, 1235 01:19:44.319 --> 01:19:48.000 it's uh. They fired them in mass and so people 1236 01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:49.640 started looking at this and saying, you know, what's going 1237 01:19:49.640 --> 01:19:51.359 on with this? Why'd they fire one hundred and forty 1238 01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:53.479 five Indians. We'll be right back. 1239 01:20:02.199 --> 01:20:05.640 Here's a little song I ought you might want to 1240 01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:07.560 hear it in your pod. 1241 01:20:07.880 --> 01:20:09.199 You'll own nothing. 1242 01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:12.319 And be happy. 1243 01:20:15.680 --> 01:20:19.359 I got no cash, I got no car, not twenty 1244 01:20:19.399 --> 01:20:26.319 four booster shots in your arm. Own nothing to be happy. 1245 01:20:29.159 --> 01:20:33.560 You can't even buy it in the store because of 1246 01:20:33.680 --> 01:20:46.960 your low social credit score. Own nothing, Be happy? You 1247 01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:54.359 will own nothing and be happy. Be happy at eats 1248 01:20:54.399 --> 01:20:55.239 the bugs. 1249 01:20:56.359 --> 01:20:59.039 They're doing what in the place they named after me? 1250 01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:00.439 Good thing. 1251 01:21:00.479 --> 01:21:02.560 I have the David Night Show to keep me informed 1252 01:21:02.560 --> 01:21:05.760 on the plots of these traders. 1253 01:21:05.760 --> 01:21:11.479 Making sense common again. This is the David Knight Show. 1254 01:21:13.840 --> 01:21:16.479 All right. Red Beard John says that safe way where 1255 01:21:16.479 --> 01:21:19.479 I live. Five dozen eggs if you can find them, 1256 01:21:19.960 --> 01:21:23.479 are thirty nine ninety dollars or five dozen eggs. Wow, 1257 01:21:23.600 --> 01:21:28.079 that's amazing. And a tip and a tip, a couple 1258 01:21:28.119 --> 01:21:32.159 of tips, a dollar tip, as well as a suggestion 1259 01:21:32.319 --> 01:21:34.560 tip from troubling. Thank you very much, says David. Buy 1260 01:21:34.640 --> 01:21:38.640 submersible heaters on Amazon. They're cheap and a life saver. 1261 01:21:39.279 --> 01:21:42.560 There we go. I have to do that. Actually, there's 1262 01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:44.479 a farm co op here. If I can find it there, 1263 01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:46.920 we'll get it from them. If not, I'll have to 1264 01:21:46.920 --> 01:21:50.279 go to Amazon's resort. But thank you for the tip 1265 01:21:50.720 --> 01:21:52.640 I had. I thought about it. There were newbies in 1266 01:21:52.760 --> 01:21:55.880 terms of chickens. Like I said, we've we've tried them. 1267 01:21:56.079 --> 01:21:59.039 This is our third try and in Texas they never 1268 01:21:59.079 --> 01:22:01.720 made it this far. Just too many critters out there, 1269 01:22:01.760 --> 01:22:04.680 you know, the coyotes and everything else are getting them 1270 01:22:05.079 --> 01:22:07.479 even though we had cages and we thought we had 1271 01:22:07.479 --> 01:22:09.800 these things set up. They get in there one way 1272 01:22:09.880 --> 01:22:12.159 or the other. Anyway, let's talk about what is happening 1273 01:22:12.199 --> 01:22:15.600 in Manhattan. At the beginning of the year, they started 1274 01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:19.600 doing congestion tolls. And that's something that we've seen in 1275 01:22:19.640 --> 01:22:23.840 the UK. It's basically communist rationing. You know, you got 1276 01:22:23.880 --> 01:22:26.800 one job the government does. Many people say, well, you know, 1277 01:22:26.880 --> 01:22:29.119 you got to have government who's going to do the roads? 1278 01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:33.560 And we would always say, well, maybe the government is 1279 01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:35.119 doing such a bad job, maybe we want to have 1280 01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:38.319 somebody else through the roads. As a matter of fact, 1281 01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:40.840 the Consumer Electronics Show, it's kind of interesting to see 1282 01:22:40.880 --> 01:22:42.199 the kind of stuff that is coming up at the 1283 01:22:42.239 --> 01:22:47.000 Consumer Electronics Show. Somebody came up with a hypercar. And 1284 01:22:48.000 --> 01:22:50.680 you know, if you're rich enough and you want to 1285 01:22:50.760 --> 01:22:53.960 drive a car, you want to drive it fast. This 1286 01:22:54.039 --> 01:22:59.840 is a hypercar that actually jumps over potholes and massive 1287 01:23:00.119 --> 01:23:03.039 problems on the road. Look at this. Watch this thing now. 1288 01:23:03.079 --> 01:23:05.319 Of course it's even self driving here, but it's determining 1289 01:23:05.319 --> 01:23:07.439 where the pothole is. I had to remember where they were. 1290 01:23:07.720 --> 01:23:09.520 On my way to work. I would drive kind of 1291 01:23:09.560 --> 01:23:14.439 like this, but I would swerve rather than then jump 1292 01:23:14.479 --> 01:23:19.800 over the potholes. So it's kind of like a cross 1293 01:23:19.880 --> 01:23:25.560 between a Lamborghini and the General League. It should be 1294 01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:28.039 playing Dixie when it goes over these there's a bunch 1295 01:23:28.079 --> 01:23:30.439 of Wow, that's a bunch of spikes to take out 1296 01:23:30.479 --> 01:23:33.920 the tires and look at that jumps over it. Wow. 1297 01:23:35.000 --> 01:23:36.760 What if they make that a little bit wider, would 1298 01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:39.600 it still jump over it? That's my question? And how 1299 01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:42.880 does it do the jumping? Here? It is going over 1300 01:23:42.920 --> 01:23:48.760 an LGPT display, but it did kick up some dust 1301 01:23:48.840 --> 01:23:51.159 on that, so it didn't make it all the way through. Well, 1302 01:23:51.199 --> 01:23:53.560 you know, the government's got one job to build infrastructure. 1303 01:23:53.600 --> 01:23:55.600 It doesn't seem to want to do that either, does it. 1304 01:23:55.680 --> 01:23:58.880 You know, put out the fires build infrastructure. They don't 1305 01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:01.680 care and said they think that the one job is 1306 01:24:01.720 --> 01:24:04.840 to tax us. And that's right, and that's what this is. 1307 01:24:04.840 --> 01:24:11.039 It's congestion pricing done in the name of the environment. 1308 01:24:11.079 --> 01:24:14.720 Really is where this all began with City Kahn in 1309 01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:20.119 London and New York is right there. So it's pretty expensive. 1310 01:24:20.720 --> 01:24:23.880 It's going to cost you like nine dollars to enter 1311 01:24:24.119 --> 01:24:29.039 Manhattan weekdays during the day. During off time, you can 1312 01:24:29.039 --> 01:24:30.960 get in there for the low low rate of two 1313 01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:33.600 dollars and twenty five cents just to go into Manhattan. 1314 01:24:34.359 --> 01:24:36.560 I would pay ten times that much, one hundred times 1315 01:24:36.560 --> 01:24:39.600 that much not to have to go to Manhattan. Last 1316 01:24:39.600 --> 01:24:41.840 time we were in Manhattan was when the un was 1317 01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:45.520 trying to push through the arms trade treaty, right a 1318 01:24:45.560 --> 01:24:49.039 week after they had staged the Aroar, Colorado shooting. I'm 1319 01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:51.640 absolutely certain those two things were tied together because they 1320 01:24:51.640 --> 01:24:55.520 had gotten so much pushback for this fast and furious 1321 01:24:55.520 --> 01:24:58.199 stuff and running guns across the border, and even the 1322 01:24:58.239 --> 01:25:00.800 New York Times said that was a false flag to 1323 01:25:00.840 --> 01:25:04.399 make a case for gun control domestically, we're gonna have 1324 01:25:04.439 --> 01:25:06.159 to register guns and all the rest of the stuff 1325 01:25:06.199 --> 01:25:07.920 so that when it goes across the border we can 1326 01:25:07.920 --> 01:25:09.960 trace it back to where they got this thing from. 1327 01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:13.560 And so that blew up in their face when a 1328 01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:16.960 government agent got killed with some of these trafficked firearms, 1329 01:25:17.880 --> 01:25:22.159 and so that really put a wrinkle in their arms 1330 01:25:22.159 --> 01:25:25.279 trade treaty because it was all about controlling small arms. 1331 01:25:25.319 --> 01:25:28.600 It was not about controlling tanks and things like that, 1332 01:25:28.640 --> 01:25:31.239 which they're not gonna do anything about that. They just 1333 01:25:31.279 --> 01:25:34.920 wanted firearms and so a week before you had this 1334 01:25:35.119 --> 01:25:38.880 very very suspicious shooting in War of Colorado. But anyway, 1335 01:25:38.880 --> 01:25:40.960 we were there to cover it and to do interviews 1336 01:25:41.000 --> 01:25:47.199 with gun manufacturers who were there to speak against it 1337 01:25:47.279 --> 01:25:49.039 and things like that, and it didn't pass, which is 1338 01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:51.680 good news. But the problem was it was such a mess. 1339 01:25:51.720 --> 01:25:54.000 I mean, Karen dropped me and my two sons off 1340 01:25:54.039 --> 01:25:56.960 who were helping me set up interviews and cameras and 1341 01:25:57.039 --> 01:25:59.800 lights and stuff like that on the street for the 1342 01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:03.279 in front of the un and Karen just had to 1343 01:26:03.319 --> 01:26:07.039 keep circling in manhatt couldn't find a place to park anywhere. 1344 01:26:07.159 --> 01:26:10.520 You know, what a mess that place is. I paid 1345 01:26:10.520 --> 01:26:12.880 to stay out of there. Trump has vowed to kill 1346 01:26:12.920 --> 01:26:15.039 the program when he takes office, but it's unclear whether 1347 01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:18.199 he'll follow through. It's unclear whether they will fall through 1348 01:26:18.199 --> 01:26:23.239 with anything. Quite frankly, that's I'm skeptical about anything that 1349 01:26:23.279 --> 01:26:26.319 he promises here. The question is does he have jurisdiction. 1350 01:26:27.199 --> 01:26:29.479 I don't know. I mean, you know, look at when 1351 01:26:29.479 --> 01:26:32.399 they give federal money, as you know they did to 1352 01:26:32.439 --> 01:26:36.239 build the Interstates. Then after that's done in the fifties 1353 01:26:36.239 --> 01:26:42.039 by Eisenhower Nixon, his vice president becomes president, and twenty 1354 01:26:42.119 --> 01:26:43.680 years later he says, no, you're going to have to 1355 01:26:43.720 --> 01:26:46.039 drive fifty five miles an hour now because I say so, 1356 01:26:46.439 --> 01:26:48.760 and because I'm going to take the money away from 1357 01:26:48.800 --> 01:26:50.479 you if you don't do that. And of course they 1358 01:26:50.479 --> 01:26:54.439 were happy to comply because they could get traffic fines 1359 01:26:54.479 --> 01:26:57.600 and tickets for people as well. Not only is this 1360 01:26:57.640 --> 01:27:00.399 a massive tax for people coming in, it's extremely convenient 1361 01:27:00.399 --> 01:27:04.079 from both driving and personal bookkeeping standards. It'll be virtually 1362 01:27:04.079 --> 01:27:07.199 impossible for New York City to come back as long 1363 01:27:07.359 --> 01:27:11.399 as this congestion tax is in effect. The toll was 1364 01:27:11.439 --> 01:27:13.479 supposed to go into effect last year with a fifteen 1365 01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:16.880 dollars change, but because last year was an election year, 1366 01:27:16.880 --> 01:27:18.399 they decided they would wait to stick it to the 1367 01:27:18.399 --> 01:27:21.319 people the next year. And they even say that David, 1368 01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:26.319 so it is. You know, there's some lawsuits that are 1369 01:27:26.359 --> 01:27:28.880 going on. New Jersey obviously is not very happy about this. 1370 01:27:29.119 --> 01:27:31.079 For the people who are going to be commuting. I 1371 01:27:31.079 --> 01:27:33.399 can't even imagine commuting by car from New Jersey in 1372 01:27:34.399 --> 01:27:39.279 New York. But anyway, the funds that they collect are 1373 01:27:39.319 --> 01:27:41.479 not going to go to fixing potholes. You have to 1374 01:27:41.479 --> 01:27:44.680 buy a supercar hypercar in order to jump the potholes. 1375 01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:49.359 The money will not go to fixing or even maintaining 1376 01:27:49.359 --> 01:27:51.760 the roads, and certainly they can't make them any wider. 1377 01:27:52.159 --> 01:27:55.479 They could make them higher. You know, Musk even got 1378 01:27:55.479 --> 01:27:57.960 that right. You know, we start talking about his boring project, 1379 01:27:58.560 --> 01:28:01.319 he said, we're building the you know, the cities are 1380 01:28:01.319 --> 01:28:03.640 getting more and more congested, and they're going vertically, so 1381 01:28:03.640 --> 01:28:05.439 we got to go vertically with the road. His solution 1382 01:28:05.640 --> 01:28:10.520 was to tunnel. Whereas everybody always knew this and all 1383 01:28:10.560 --> 01:28:13.600 of the movies that you would have to have a 1384 01:28:13.920 --> 01:28:16.359 higher you'd have to have multiple layers of roads if 1385 01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:18.399 you're going to keep up with the population. But they 1386 01:28:18.399 --> 01:28:22.399 don't want you driving at all in their cities, and 1387 01:28:22.680 --> 01:28:25.119 so the money is going to go to the New 1388 01:28:25.159 --> 01:28:28.600 York mass transit system that they control because they want 1389 01:28:28.640 --> 01:28:33.800 you dependent on them. So it's going to be a 1390 01:28:33.840 --> 01:28:39.560 big mess there. Meanwhile, and Ottawa. Ottawa has outlawed remote 1391 01:28:39.800 --> 01:28:42.159 car starters. You know, I talked to the last couple 1392 01:28:42.199 --> 01:28:44.000 of days about the fact that Biden is out there 1393 01:28:44.039 --> 01:28:49.800 banning electric water heaters. Well, Ottawa is banning remote car 1394 01:28:49.840 --> 01:28:53.600 starters to try to heat up people's cars. You know, 1395 01:28:54.479 --> 01:28:58.159 a very cold area there, and the City of Otawa 1396 01:28:58.239 --> 01:28:59.600 says we've got to do this in order to help 1397 01:28:59.640 --> 01:29:03.840 reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Do they doesn't really make a difference. 1398 01:29:03.920 --> 01:29:07.000 Listen to the temperatures that they've got in Ottawa, the 1399 01:29:07.039 --> 01:29:11.359 Canadian capital, where average temperatures range from fifteen degrees fahrenheit 1400 01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:15.680 in December and then in January and February it's nineteen 1401 01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:21.359 degrees fahrenheit is the average temperature, and then in I'm sorry, 1402 01:29:21.079 --> 01:29:24.600 six degrees six degrees fahrenheit and January and February is 1403 01:29:24.640 --> 01:29:28.720 the average temperature. It's nineteen degrees in March, and in 1404 01:29:28.840 --> 01:29:34.520 these unbelievably cold conditions, you know, six degrees fahrenheit throughout 1405 01:29:34.600 --> 01:29:39.039 January and February minus fourteen degrees centigrade. They have put 1406 01:29:39.119 --> 01:29:43.199 new time limits on preheating your car. They will allow 1407 01:29:43.239 --> 01:29:48.359 you one minute of idle time per hour for unoccupied 1408 01:29:48.439 --> 01:29:51.279 vehicles if your car. Do a remote start on your car. 1409 01:29:51.319 --> 01:29:54.680 People start up their remote car, start up the car remotely, 1410 01:29:55.600 --> 01:29:58.079 so the heater the engine block can warm up, start 1411 01:29:58.079 --> 01:30:00.479 to heated up on the inside. But also they can 1412 01:30:01.199 --> 01:30:05.399 get started on defrosting the windows. But no, not now 1413 01:30:05.960 --> 01:30:07.840 you're going to go out there in six degree weather 1414 01:30:07.880 --> 01:30:11.680 and you're going to dece it by hand. This means 1415 01:30:11.760 --> 01:30:13.560 using a remote started to melt the ice off and 1416 01:30:13.600 --> 01:30:15.880 warm the car up. Is now going to be forbidden. 1417 01:30:17.119 --> 01:30:19.199 You have to get out there in six degree weather 1418 01:30:19.239 --> 01:30:21.920 and do it yourself. And we had to do it, 1419 01:30:21.960 --> 01:30:25.079 as I said, because we've got a lower greenhouse gas emissions. Well, 1420 01:30:26.319 --> 01:30:29.920 as this article on zero Hedge says, the entire nation 1421 01:30:30.399 --> 01:30:34.880 of Canada it is responsible for only one point six 1422 01:30:35.000 --> 01:30:40.439 percent of CO two emissions. You can eliminate the entire 1423 01:30:40.680 --> 01:30:45.199 energy footprint of every Canadian and still not make a difference. 1424 01:30:45.840 --> 01:30:48.239 It's like, as we talk about their paradigms, you know, 1425 01:30:48.399 --> 01:30:50.960 regardless of why their paradigms are, are we broadcasting I 1426 01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:55.840 see that the pictures gone Okay, we're working on it. 1427 01:30:55.960 --> 01:31:01.479 So they didn't turn off our lights, so we even 1428 01:31:01.520 --> 01:31:04.880 though if you're watching this broadcast, it has gone blank, 1429 01:31:04.960 --> 01:31:08.359 so do not adjust your TV set. The problem is 1430 01:31:08.399 --> 01:31:11.319 on our end somehow. It was something we're working on 1431 01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:14.720 getting that done. But meanwhile, if we got audio, and 1432 01:31:14.920 --> 01:31:17.199 I guess that is still going out all right, I'll 1433 01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:23.960 continue with this. All of Canada by their own weird 1434 01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:27.079 fantasy by their own paradigm, by their own mcguffin. All 1435 01:31:27.079 --> 01:31:30.840 of Canada is only one point six percent of CO 1436 01:31:31.079 --> 01:31:34.359 two emissions globally. And again, you know CO two emissions. 1437 01:31:35.399 --> 01:31:38.039 CO two is only zero point zero four percent of 1438 01:31:38.039 --> 01:31:42.159 the atmosphere. So CO two is not warming the atmosphere, 1439 01:31:42.800 --> 01:31:47.680 and Canada is not warming the atmosphere. But again, China 1440 01:31:47.760 --> 01:31:51.239 is going to build two new coal power plants every week. 1441 01:31:52.760 --> 01:31:55.800 This is the Paris Climate Accord. The Paris Accord is 1442 01:31:55.840 --> 01:31:57.880 looking more and more like some kind of a Jacobin 1443 01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:01.920 Marxist scheme, isn't it, Because that's what it is. So 1444 01:32:02.720 --> 01:32:06.720 they also have another problem, they said. One person said, 1445 01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:08.600 for all the truckers who are listening, I know, we've 1446 01:32:08.600 --> 01:32:10.439 got a lot of truckers who listen to program on 1447 01:32:10.439 --> 01:32:14.000 a regular basis. When your DPF system on your diesel 1448 01:32:14.079 --> 01:32:18.800 truck forces you to do a parked region cycle regeneration cycle, 1449 01:32:19.640 --> 01:32:22.399 are you going to get a ticket from by law 1450 01:32:22.520 --> 01:32:26.039 enforcement because you're stationary with the engine running for half 1451 01:32:26.159 --> 01:32:30.199 an hour? And they explain what the DPF is. It's 1452 01:32:30.199 --> 01:32:34.640 a diesel particulate filter. It's a system that diesel trucks 1453 01:32:35.279 --> 01:32:41.920 use in order to reduce emissions, and they require periodic 1454 01:32:41.960 --> 01:32:44.319 regeneration cycles where the engine has to run to burn 1455 01:32:44.319 --> 01:32:47.119 off the accumulates suit. There we are, we're back. Okay, good, 1456 01:32:47.680 --> 01:32:52.800 we've got our visual back. So we're back to burn 1457 01:32:52.840 --> 01:32:55.840 off accumulated soot, which can take it thirty minutes to 1458 01:32:55.840 --> 01:32:58.439 burn that off. And of course you don't want to 1459 01:32:58.479 --> 01:33:00.560 be trying to start your diesel engines those in a 1460 01:33:00.640 --> 01:33:03.279 six degree fahrenheit. You want to keep it running most 1461 01:33:03.279 --> 01:33:08.159 of the time. Anyway, The city is also recommending that 1462 01:33:08.199 --> 01:33:12.680 people call them to rat out their neighbors and their 1463 01:33:12.720 --> 01:33:16.359 friends who might be ignoring the new by law. Yeah, 1464 01:33:16.399 --> 01:33:19.560 it really is about communism. This is like the Stazi society. 1465 01:33:20.680 --> 01:33:23.000 I've told the story before about the woman who an 1466 01:33:23.000 --> 01:33:27.199 American who loved communism, really loved it. She wanted to 1467 01:33:27.239 --> 01:33:30.920 move to East Germany. These German people were suspicious of her, 1468 01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:36.720 the Stazi, the police, and so you know, as we 1469 01:33:36.800 --> 01:33:40.520 all found out, they've got like half of East Germans 1470 01:33:40.560 --> 01:33:43.239 were snitching on the other half of East Germans all 1471 01:33:43.279 --> 01:33:48.159 the time. And she found out after everything collapsed and 1472 01:33:48.159 --> 01:33:50.520 they started getting the diary, she found out that all 1473 01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:52.319 of her friends and neighbors who were so kind to her, 1474 01:33:52.399 --> 01:33:56.119 were spying on her for the Stazi. This is what 1475 01:33:56.119 --> 01:34:00.319 they're doing. You know, it's not a coincidence that the 1476 01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:04.000 Greens and the Reds, the Communists are all working together. 1477 01:34:04.560 --> 01:34:07.399 I've said many times that all this environmentalism is nothing 1478 01:34:07.439 --> 01:34:12.359 more than just a watermelon philosophy where they have a 1479 01:34:12.399 --> 01:34:14.880 thin Veniera green on the outside and they're thoroughly red 1480 01:34:15.079 --> 01:34:18.119 Communist on the inside. Well, I see that we've now 1481 01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:20.840 got our video back and we have Tony Ardabin ready. 1482 01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:22.479 We're going to talk to Tony. We also have another 1483 01:34:22.520 --> 01:34:24.279 guest that's coming up in the last half hour of 1484 01:34:24.279 --> 01:34:27.159 the show. It's going to talk about something that is 1485 01:34:27.199 --> 01:34:31.439 happening that is insane in Washington State. But we're going 1486 01:34:31.520 --> 01:34:33.439 to take a quick break and we're going to connect 1487 01:34:33.479 --> 01:34:36.119 with Tony and we'll be right back to talk about 1488 01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:38.359 what's happening with economics. 1489 01:34:39.359 --> 01:36:18.640 Stay with us, we'll be right back. Liberty, it's your 1490 01:36:18.840 --> 01:36:23.079 move and now the David Knight Show. 1491 01:36:25.880 --> 01:36:30.520 That's right, boys and girls, there's a post election sale 1492 01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:35.000 on silver and gold. Frump euphoria has caused a dip 1493 01:36:35.319 --> 01:36:39.239 in silver and gold. It's time to buy some medals 1494 01:36:39.279 --> 01:36:43.239 with Viet dollars before they come to there, since is 1495 01:36:44.479 --> 01:36:47.479 go to David Knight dot Gold to get in touch 1496 01:36:47.520 --> 01:36:52.159 with the wise wolf himself, Tony Harterburn. He knows where 1497 01:36:52.159 --> 01:36:54.560 to look to find silver and gold. 1498 01:37:06.039 --> 01:37:10.159 Yug, Well, let's get in touch with wise Wolf Tony 1499 01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:12.640 Rdeman himself, who happens to be on the line. And 1500 01:37:13.279 --> 01:37:14.000 welcome Tony. 1501 01:37:14.079 --> 01:37:16.800 Good to have you one, always good to see you, David. 1502 01:37:17.359 --> 01:37:19.680 I just looked out my front door here and it's 1503 01:37:19.920 --> 01:37:23.079 it's snowing in North Texas has got a snowstorm coming, 1504 01:37:23.119 --> 01:37:25.760 and wow, it makes you makes you wonder how those 1505 01:37:25.880 --> 01:37:28.439 warm waters down in the Gulf of America are right now, 1506 01:37:28.479 --> 01:37:30.760 you know. I wonder if you get down there and 1507 01:37:30.880 --> 01:37:33.439 just be on vacation. My dog is my dog Beans 1508 01:37:33.479 --> 01:37:35.720 jumped up in my lap because it's actually pretty windy, 1509 01:37:35.760 --> 01:37:38.399 and there's supposed to supposed to be a lot of 1510 01:37:38.439 --> 01:37:41.239 snowfall and more than we usually get in the winter 1511 01:37:41.319 --> 01:37:42.880 time here in the next day or so. 1512 01:37:43.119 --> 01:37:45.159 Well, hopefully your power grade's going to hang in there 1513 01:37:45.199 --> 01:37:47.840 this time. I remember when that happened and we were 1514 01:37:47.880 --> 01:37:50.520 in Texas who wound up doing a show by candlelight. 1515 01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:53.840 I remember that and cell phone and I remember the 1516 01:37:53.920 --> 01:37:56.520 second day we did it. As it warmed up, we 1517 01:37:56.600 --> 01:38:00.039 realized that a pipe had burst in our kitchen and 1518 01:38:00.159 --> 01:38:05.039 so we had Whistler holding the camera there and Travis 1519 01:38:05.039 --> 01:38:08.000 and Karen were mopping and I'm trying to do this 1520 01:38:08.279 --> 01:38:11.399 and it was it was pretty crazy. But hopefully that 1521 01:38:11.399 --> 01:38:15.000 won't happen this time. But we got a lot of 1522 01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:16.720 things to talk about. I mean, we just had the 1523 01:38:16.720 --> 01:38:21.079 Federal Federal Reserves Open Market Committee and headline says that 1524 01:38:21.239 --> 01:38:26.359 almost all quote almost all Federal Fed members see higher 1525 01:38:26.359 --> 01:38:30.439 inflation coming. What about that? And they think it's because 1526 01:38:30.479 --> 01:38:30.880 of Trump? 1527 01:38:31.640 --> 01:38:34.720 What's that? Rend me to the Carson to the Karnak 1528 01:38:34.840 --> 01:38:37.600 trip in trick where you hold the envelope up to 1529 01:38:37.680 --> 01:38:41.079 his forehead, because it's funny, like, are we we're going 1530 01:38:41.159 --> 01:38:43.199 to see some inflation? They're like, by the way, we're 1531 01:38:43.199 --> 01:38:45.439 going to cut rates, you know, like of course, And 1532 01:38:45.479 --> 01:38:48.680 they're talking about this in the around June or so 1533 01:38:49.239 --> 01:38:52.880 of twenty twenty five here in cutting rates, and I mean, 1534 01:38:53.560 --> 01:38:57.239 this is again transitory. It was transitory. Both Janet Yell 1535 01:38:57.279 --> 01:39:01.000 and Rome pal said that inflation was transitory, and then 1536 01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:03.159 they said, no, we have to We're going to do something. 1537 01:39:03.199 --> 01:39:04.800 We're very hawkish we're going to do We're going to 1538 01:39:04.880 --> 01:39:07.720 roll it back. It's going to be tamed. And then 1539 01:39:07.760 --> 01:39:09.760 they just figured out they couldn't do it anyway, even 1540 01:39:09.800 --> 01:39:12.920 with raising interest rates faster than any time in history, 1541 01:39:12.960 --> 01:39:16.119 any other fed shair did Jerome Powell, and we saw 1542 01:39:16.159 --> 01:39:18.479 the effects on that economy started to stall. What do 1543 01:39:18.520 --> 01:39:20.840 they do because we're built on debt, we're built on 1544 01:39:21.359 --> 01:39:24.000 cheap fiat currency, and there's no way out. They're gonna 1545 01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:26.960 have to inflate their way out of every issue. Yeah, 1546 01:39:27.079 --> 01:39:29.880 it's why it's so silly. The you know, the mainstream 1547 01:39:29.880 --> 01:39:33.359 headlines soon talking about earnings and other things. Until we 1548 01:39:33.399 --> 01:39:36.319 get a grip on, you know, what causes inflation and 1549 01:39:36.399 --> 01:39:39.159 the devaluation of our currency, then none of these economic 1550 01:39:39.239 --> 01:39:40.960 issues are going to be solved. 1551 01:39:41.039 --> 01:39:43.159 Oh yeah, well we know and they know, but they're 1552 01:39:43.159 --> 01:39:44.680 not going to do anything about it. You know. And 1553 01:39:44.720 --> 01:39:47.479 you talk about how fast you raise interest rates, I'll 1554 01:39:47.520 --> 01:39:49.159 never forget. You know, back at the beginning of this 1555 01:39:49.199 --> 01:39:51.159 fourth turning two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, 1556 01:39:51.199 --> 01:39:53.840 you know, he starts that had really low rates for 1557 01:39:53.880 --> 01:39:56.479 a very long time, and then they start raising them 1558 01:39:56.680 --> 01:39:58.640 a quarter like every month, you know, and just like 1559 01:39:58.680 --> 01:40:02.560 a stairstep until they got high enough that they helped 1560 01:40:02.680 --> 01:40:06.039 cause the bubble to burst. And then this time around, 1561 01:40:06.119 --> 01:40:08.359 he doesn't do it a quarter each time, he's doing 1562 01:40:08.399 --> 01:40:10.920 it three quarters each time, three quarters of a point 1563 01:40:10.960 --> 01:40:14.560 each time, so seventy five bases points. Yeah. Who would 1564 01:40:14.560 --> 01:40:16.560 have thought that this type of thing would happen. And 1565 01:40:16.640 --> 01:40:22.079 yet as they're looking forward, they're also saying that they're 1566 01:40:22.079 --> 01:40:25.319 talking about inflation. You know, as we look at these 1567 01:40:25.359 --> 01:40:31.399 interest rates, though, it's interesting how as they keep dropping 1568 01:40:31.439 --> 01:40:34.600 the interest rates, the long term bond market believes that 1569 01:40:34.600 --> 01:40:36.640 there's going to be a lot of inflation, and so 1570 01:40:36.680 --> 01:40:38.760 they keep raising the rates. And that's one of the 1571 01:40:38.800 --> 01:40:41.439 reasons why the home mortgage rates are going up even 1572 01:40:41.479 --> 01:40:44.039 as these guys are cutting the rates. It's because in 1573 01:40:44.119 --> 01:40:46.680 the marketplace where people are buying the bonds, that's where 1574 01:40:46.680 --> 01:40:48.920 they're bidding the stuff up, because they're not buying it either. 1575 01:40:49.239 --> 01:40:52.279 You know, it's just a lie, and so the interests. 1576 01:40:52.479 --> 01:40:56.079 As they keep pretending that inflation is not a problem, 1577 01:40:56.119 --> 01:40:58.880 the market says otherwise, and that's why you keep seeing 1578 01:40:58.920 --> 01:41:01.399 the home mortgage rates go up. 1579 01:41:02.199 --> 01:41:04.119 Yeah, and it may be cheaper for the banks to 1580 01:41:04.159 --> 01:41:06.319 borrow and go directly to the FED, but they don't 1581 01:41:06.359 --> 01:41:08.239 want to pass that on to consumers because they don't 1582 01:41:08.239 --> 01:41:10.399 believe in the strength of the economy. That's exactly what 1583 01:41:10.439 --> 01:41:13.960 they're signaling. They don't believe in the strength of the 1584 01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:16.640 borrowers to pay back those loans. And they're gonna make money. 1585 01:41:16.680 --> 01:41:18.359 That's what they're gonna do. They're gonna put they have, 1586 01:41:18.479 --> 01:41:20.800 they have the cash, they have the funds. They're going 1587 01:41:20.880 --> 01:41:23.680 to hoard it, just like they did after two thousand 1588 01:41:23.760 --> 01:41:27.640 and nine, you know, the darp bailouts and Hank Paulson 1589 01:41:27.760 --> 01:41:30.560 begging Nancy Pelosi for the It seems quaint now, but 1590 01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:33.079 it was supposed to be like the seven hundred billion 1591 01:41:33.159 --> 01:41:36.079 that they needed to cover the shortfall through the treasury. 1592 01:41:36.119 --> 01:41:38.399 And now we just look at that. And I'm telling 1593 01:41:38.479 --> 01:41:42.680 you off air that Jednet Yelling is saying that she 1594 01:41:42.760 --> 01:41:45.479 thinks that the COVID stimulus may have had an impact 1595 01:41:45.479 --> 01:41:50.399 on inflation. Only the best minds David and era. Where 1596 01:41:50.960 --> 01:41:53.520 when we look when we make two thousand and nine 1597 01:41:54.680 --> 01:41:57.960 look tame and a bygone era. You know, when they 1598 01:41:58.000 --> 01:42:00.319 bailed out for the Great Recession. Now we just do 1599 01:42:00.439 --> 01:42:04.560 that again. It's it's a trillion in debt every hundred days, 1600 01:42:04.600 --> 01:42:06.920 and I think you and I even calculated the one 1601 01:42:06.920 --> 01:42:09.560 of the last quarter of twenty twenty four, it was 1602 01:42:09.640 --> 01:42:13.439 like every ninety days, there's like two point three trillion 1603 01:42:13.520 --> 01:42:14.239 or something like that. 1604 01:42:14.479 --> 01:42:18.439 Yeah. Yeah, it's accelerating, it's accelerating, it's you know, it's 1605 01:42:18.479 --> 01:42:22.680 going up exponentially. So yeah, maybe as when we're talking 1606 01:42:22.680 --> 01:42:24.520 about that, I joked and said, well, maybe she had 1607 01:42:24.520 --> 01:42:29.119 some revelation when she was on mushrooms famously doing that 1608 01:42:29.159 --> 01:42:35.000 in China and then coming out and bowing incessantly. You know, yeah, 1609 01:42:35.000 --> 01:42:39.239 we got what is it? The term was not kleptocracy, 1610 01:42:39.279 --> 01:42:43.239 which is ruled by thieves, but we have a cacistocracy, 1611 01:42:43.359 --> 01:42:45.880 which is the rules by the rule by the worst 1612 01:42:45.920 --> 01:42:48.640 people that you could possibly have. And that Janet Yellen 1613 01:42:48.920 --> 01:42:51.720 has to have her picture right there in the dictionary 1614 01:42:51.760 --> 01:42:57.279 next to cacistocracy and Biden the best mind. 1615 01:42:58.880 --> 01:43:02.640 People like Janet yelling and really show you that they're 1616 01:43:02.640 --> 01:43:04.800 not in charge. You know that there's no way that 1617 01:43:04.840 --> 01:43:07.680 they could run something as complicated as the US Treasury 1618 01:43:07.880 --> 01:43:11.279 or it's an it's like a plant. To make sure 1619 01:43:11.319 --> 01:43:13.159 that she runs it the way like kind of like 1620 01:43:13.159 --> 01:43:15.680 a mobster would pick a real estate agent or something 1621 01:43:15.720 --> 01:43:16.640 to run the casino. 1622 01:43:19.680 --> 01:43:22.720 Trump did trying to figure out how he managed to 1623 01:43:22.760 --> 01:43:25.159 bankrupt so many different casinos. One of these almost got 1624 01:43:25.199 --> 01:43:27.840 a license to print money, you know, but maybe he 1625 01:43:27.920 --> 01:43:29.640 hired a real estate agent to run it. I know 1626 01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:31.399 he hired a real estate agent to try to get 1627 01:43:31.520 --> 01:43:34.159 that uh that house that he wanted a parking lot for. 1628 01:43:34.319 --> 01:43:36.439 It was it was straight out of up you know. 1629 01:43:36.479 --> 01:43:38.920 He had some widow who had a home and he 1630 01:43:38.319 --> 01:43:41.479 wanted to buy. She didn't want to sell it, and 1631 01:43:41.800 --> 01:43:44.000 so he went to the local government and got them 1632 01:43:44.039 --> 01:43:45.640 to condemn it, take her home and everything, and then 1633 01:43:45.680 --> 01:43:48.640 he declared bankruptcy and shut his casino down. Anyway, but 1634 01:43:48.720 --> 01:43:51.880 let's talk about gold because we see that China's demand 1635 01:43:52.000 --> 01:43:55.560 is going up and gold and the headline is gold 1636 01:43:55.600 --> 01:43:59.479 gains on technical buying as well as China demand, and 1637 01:43:59.479 --> 01:44:01.279 of course it nicle buying is going to be things 1638 01:44:01.279 --> 01:44:03.520 that are be looking at what's going to happen with 1639 01:44:03.560 --> 01:44:05.520 inflation and other issues like that. 1640 01:44:05.640 --> 01:44:10.319 Right well, absolutely, And you know there's something interesting about China. 1641 01:44:10.359 --> 01:44:13.720 They bought the dip whatever they're running their calculations, these 1642 01:44:13.720 --> 01:44:16.279 are long term. It's something China's been doing since the 1643 01:44:16.319 --> 01:44:19.640 beginning of this century and buying off the books, and 1644 01:44:19.680 --> 01:44:21.960 you had to wonder about that. They're not open about 1645 01:44:22.079 --> 01:44:24.399 their goal buying. I remember stories that would pop up 1646 01:44:24.439 --> 01:44:26.920 in the last thirty six months where you know, there'd 1647 01:44:26.920 --> 01:44:30.319 be some giant goal purchase and then somebody would sleuth 1648 01:44:30.720 --> 01:44:33.239 and find that, you know, it's a subsidiary of the 1649 01:44:33.359 --> 01:44:36.520 Chinese government that's buying this gold. So they didn't want 1650 01:44:37.119 --> 01:44:39.439 the world to know what they were doing. I think 1651 01:44:39.439 --> 01:44:41.920 there will be a big reveal eventually and they'll just 1652 01:44:41.960 --> 01:44:44.800 say we have more gold in the US. I think 1653 01:44:44.800 --> 01:44:47.479 that they actually do. I mean, I've seen research from 1654 01:44:47.640 --> 01:44:51.399 you know, a journalist over at Kiko speculating that China 1655 01:44:51.439 --> 01:44:54.520 has close to sixteen thousand tons of gold because they've 1656 01:44:54.560 --> 01:44:58.560 been buying literally since really just calculating where the trade 1657 01:44:58.600 --> 01:45:02.439 deficits were going and was happening with the US manufacturing base, 1658 01:45:02.520 --> 01:45:05.920 and they slipped in at the end of the twentieth century. 1659 01:45:05.960 --> 01:45:10.079 They got that deal from George W. Bush with most 1660 01:45:10.199 --> 01:45:14.399 Favored Trading Status with a WTO on December eleventh, two 1661 01:45:14.439 --> 01:45:17.159 thousand and one, ninety days after nine to eleven. And 1662 01:45:17.239 --> 01:45:19.960 since then, you know, it's fifty five thousand factories were 1663 01:45:19.960 --> 01:45:23.520 gone within five years. You know, one in three manufacturing 1664 01:45:23.600 --> 01:45:26.520 jobs those were gone. So they that again they had 1665 01:45:26.560 --> 01:45:30.560 to go somewhere. People were funny about trade deficits. Well 1666 01:45:30.560 --> 01:45:32.399 there's you know, it's not in a vacuum. It has 1667 01:45:32.399 --> 01:45:35.000 to go somewhere if there's a deficit, and the surplus 1668 01:45:35.039 --> 01:45:38.079 went to China. So in my estimation, I think at 1669 01:45:37.840 --> 01:45:39.960 least these articles are going to continue to come out 1670 01:45:39.960 --> 01:45:43.800 where you see China as the leader in the gold business, 1671 01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:47.039 in gold buying. They have sixty thousand gold mines. This 1672 01:45:47.159 --> 01:45:50.960 is worth examining. And what happens if the US, you know, 1673 01:45:51.119 --> 01:45:54.680 starts to try to be ham fisted about its trade policies, 1674 01:45:55.159 --> 01:45:57.239 like with Trump talking about you know, one hundred percent 1675 01:45:57.319 --> 01:46:00.560 tariffs on countries that don't use King dollars, or what 1676 01:46:00.680 --> 01:46:04.680 happens when the Chinese say, well, actually we have you know, 1677 01:46:04.720 --> 01:46:08.159 when gold remonetizes, we have the the gold reserves you know, 1678 01:46:08.319 --> 01:46:10.079 used to be the US with eight thousand and a 1679 01:46:10.119 --> 01:46:12.359 half tons or whatever it is. I don't I don't 1680 01:46:12.359 --> 01:46:14.960 necessarily believe it anymore. I don't. We haven't had an 1681 01:46:15.000 --> 01:46:17.920 audit since the fifties so that is an open question. 1682 01:46:18.079 --> 01:46:24.319 I think I think Goldfinger got at all. Goldfinger. That 1683 01:46:24.439 --> 01:46:26.640 was when everybody talked about all the gold being in 1684 01:46:26.720 --> 01:46:29.159 Fort Knox and you know, but is there any gold 1685 01:46:29.239 --> 01:46:30.439 in Fort Knox? Who knows? 1686 01:46:30.960 --> 01:46:34.800 Definitely we have you know, we have bond villains, Davos, 1687 01:46:34.880 --> 01:46:36.119 for sure, one of them's. 1688 01:46:35.880 --> 01:46:38.920 Got that's right. Well, you know you said that China 1689 01:46:39.119 --> 01:46:43.159 buys the dips. They bought ten tons of gold in 1690 01:46:43.239 --> 01:46:48.319 December because you know, everybody else is so excited about Trump. 1691 01:46:48.479 --> 01:46:51.720 That's why we put that in that commercial ukon Cornelius. 1692 01:46:51.720 --> 01:46:55.119 You know, well, trump euphoria has got everybody saying, well, 1693 01:46:55.119 --> 01:46:58.119 we're gonna get crypto, We're not gonna get gold. Well, 1694 01:46:58.760 --> 01:47:00.800 China went to the gold bought that dip. 1695 01:47:01.880 --> 01:47:04.439 Well absolutely I did too. You know, we bought it 1696 01:47:04.479 --> 01:47:06.680 for a wolf pack and I see that again. The 1697 01:47:06.720 --> 01:47:09.159 fundamentals are all still there. What drove the price of 1698 01:47:09.159 --> 01:47:12.560 gold to record highs? I mean, we forget gold broke 1699 01:47:12.680 --> 01:47:16.640 it's all time high, like was it like thirty times 1700 01:47:16.760 --> 01:47:20.800 or something in two and twenty four, and before that 1701 01:47:20.880 --> 01:47:23.199 it was gaps of years and years. I mean in 1702 01:47:23.239 --> 01:47:28.000 twenty eleven to twenty and twenty there was no ath, 1703 01:47:28.039 --> 01:47:31.199 no all time high for gold. But in twenty twenty four, 1704 01:47:31.359 --> 01:47:33.640 like thirty something times, and it was happening weekly. I 1705 01:47:33.640 --> 01:47:35.439 could come on the show here and we talk about it. 1706 01:47:35.840 --> 01:47:39.119 So we already knew that that was going to continue. 1707 01:47:39.119 --> 01:47:42.039 The fundamentals, and nothing really changes with the election except 1708 01:47:42.079 --> 01:47:46.920 for some proposed you know, crypto deregulation or being crypto 1709 01:47:47.079 --> 01:47:50.600 friendly for bitcoin, which is driven the price of bitcoin, 1710 01:47:50.640 --> 01:47:52.560 and we'll see what happens there. I mean, we were 1711 01:47:52.600 --> 01:47:57.359 talking off air about the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve maybe not 1712 01:47:57.479 --> 01:48:00.720 going forward or losing momentum or steam. Is Trump going 1713 01:48:00.760 --> 01:48:03.760 to back out on that, That's an open question. He 1714 01:48:03.880 --> 01:48:07.159 was really supported by the bitcoin community and those in 1715 01:48:07.239 --> 01:48:11.680 the crypto space, so we'll see. I mean, I've lived 1716 01:48:11.680 --> 01:48:15.439 through the Trump presidency. I remember things. I know. I'm 1717 01:48:15.479 --> 01:48:20.359 not supposed to gorvedal the United States of Amnesia. I 1718 01:48:20.399 --> 01:48:23.800 try not to join that crowd, but I remember, you know, 1719 01:48:23.920 --> 01:48:28.159 twenty seventeen to twenty twenty one and what policies came 1720 01:48:28.199 --> 01:48:30.159 out of that. So I'm skeptical. I'm just going to 1721 01:48:30.199 --> 01:48:32.720 continue to do what I do regardless of the politics, 1722 01:48:32.760 --> 01:48:35.439 because I know, when we live in a world of 1723 01:48:35.520 --> 01:48:39.640 fiat and fake and debt. The world is completely over leveraged. 1724 01:48:40.560 --> 01:48:45.279 I mean, the corporate bankruptcies are up, I mean massively 1725 01:48:45.399 --> 01:48:49.479 this year. The debt, the corporate debt is staggering, and 1726 01:48:49.520 --> 01:48:53.239 then of course the government debt is absolutely out of control. 1727 01:48:53.359 --> 01:48:55.439 So none of those things are going to be fixed. 1728 01:48:55.840 --> 01:48:58.199 And I know that, and that means that commodities and 1729 01:48:58.279 --> 01:49:01.680 things with finite resources will will win the day. 1730 01:49:02.000 --> 01:49:04.760 And it's not just America. It's countries all over the 1731 01:49:04.800 --> 01:49:08.600 world that are getting huge leverage of debt. It's corporations, 1732 01:49:08.640 --> 01:49:12.880 it's consumers, everybody's going into debt. But yeah, I like that. 1733 01:49:12.880 --> 01:49:17.479 We should talk about MAGA being make Amnesia great again. 1734 01:49:19.119 --> 01:49:22.039 That's the whole secret of success for Trump is to 1735 01:49:22.079 --> 01:49:24.920 make am Nietzsche great and they're gonna do it again. 1736 01:49:25.000 --> 01:49:26.800 And that's where we are right now. You know, The 1737 01:49:27.079 --> 01:49:32.880 Atlantic had an article talking about the Great crypto Crash, 1738 01:49:33.239 --> 01:49:36.720 and they said Trump is going to usher in a 1739 01:49:36.880 --> 01:49:40.319 speculative frenzy. And that's the thing, you know, regardless of 1740 01:49:40.359 --> 01:49:43.319 the fundamentals of gold or bitcoin, or the economy or 1741 01:49:43.359 --> 01:49:46.319 anything else like that, I get concerned when I see frenzies. 1742 01:49:46.880 --> 01:49:50.760 When I you know, because frenzies always wind up creating bubbles, 1743 01:49:50.760 --> 01:49:54.039 and bubbles always burst at some point the other. And 1744 01:49:54.439 --> 01:49:56.520 that's the key thing. You know, when even when you 1745 01:49:56.600 --> 01:50:00.800 look at AI and the stocks around that, AI was 1746 01:50:01.000 --> 01:50:05.399 AI stocks were driving the stock market this last year. 1747 01:50:05.960 --> 01:50:10.199 You get ahead of expectations in a frenzy, and sooner 1748 01:50:10.279 --> 01:50:16.119 or later somebody says, wait a minute, this can't possibly 1749 01:50:16.159 --> 01:50:19.319 work out with this kind of optimism, and a few 1750 01:50:19.319 --> 01:50:21.640 people start to leave the exits. And then again, because 1751 01:50:21.720 --> 01:50:26.279 you know, we're talking about a mass psychology, everybody starts 1752 01:50:26.319 --> 01:50:29.279 running for the exits then, you know, and we saw 1753 01:50:29.319 --> 01:50:31.279 that with a dot com first. I mean, certainly the 1754 01:50:31.279 --> 01:50:33.159 Internet was a real thing and it was going to 1755 01:50:33.520 --> 01:50:36.239 be there, So we could see that with AI. We 1756 01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:39.000 could see that with the crypto optimism. There's a lot 1757 01:50:39.039 --> 01:50:41.920 of deregulation that's going to happen. They've done a very 1758 01:50:42.399 --> 01:50:46.960 quick whiplash from Biden, who was doing everything he could 1759 01:50:47.600 --> 01:50:51.960 to either outright prohibit it or regulate it into oblivion. 1760 01:50:52.520 --> 01:50:55.279 And you go from that to somebody who is talking 1761 01:50:55.279 --> 01:50:59.800 about maybe even making it part of the reserve. Don't 1762 01:50:59.840 --> 01:51:02.039 think that's going to happen, but you know, this kind 1763 01:51:02.079 --> 01:51:04.520 of whips whiplash that is there has really created a 1764 01:51:04.520 --> 01:51:06.199 lot of market frenzy, hasn't it. 1765 01:51:07.319 --> 01:51:10.800 It has? And that is concerning I like steady, the 1766 01:51:10.840 --> 01:51:13.720 bubbles and the frenzy and the euphoria of all that. 1767 01:51:13.880 --> 01:51:16.079 And there's a lot of hype and that's where you 1768 01:51:16.079 --> 01:51:18.600 get the pump and dump and we know the economy 1769 01:51:18.600 --> 01:51:21.520 everything's fake. I mean, it stems back from our currency. 1770 01:51:21.520 --> 01:51:23.760 And that's the argument I have every week from about 1771 01:51:23.840 --> 01:51:26.399 every every time I come on my show, and I'm 1772 01:51:26.399 --> 01:51:28.479 just gonna be talking about that. You look at the 1773 01:51:28.560 --> 01:51:30.640 metrics of they have fart coin. 1774 01:51:30.720 --> 01:51:34.239 Baby, it's like the ultronate bubble, right, it's. 1775 01:51:34.079 --> 01:51:36.159 The ultimate I mean this is and what does that 1776 01:51:36.199 --> 01:51:39.039 even mean? Like what these mean coins and other things 1777 01:51:39.039 --> 01:51:42.039 and what it leads to in my estimation, and this 1778 01:51:42.119 --> 01:51:44.600 could be the way that I look at the world 1779 01:51:44.640 --> 01:51:47.039 is probably very similar to you. I look at these banksters. 1780 01:51:47.039 --> 01:51:50.279 They want ultimate control, they want CBDC. They've got this 1781 01:51:50.359 --> 01:51:54.000 competing thing like bitcoin, they've got decentralization in the market. Well, 1782 01:51:54.119 --> 01:51:56.000 you know, do you invite it to the party, do 1783 01:51:56.039 --> 01:51:59.159 you you know, throw it off the balcony as I was, 1784 01:51:59.199 --> 01:52:02.000 you know, that's what I think this is happening with crypto, 1785 01:52:02.279 --> 01:52:05.680 is that they're going to inflate this thing so massive, 1786 01:52:05.760 --> 01:52:08.279 get everybody involved, and then crash it. And then that 1787 01:52:08.319 --> 01:52:10.479 would call for regulation. And see what that wouldn't have 1788 01:52:10.560 --> 01:52:14.000 happened if we had a centrally. We like digital currency, 1789 01:52:14.000 --> 01:52:15.840 we love the convenience of that, but you just need 1790 01:52:15.880 --> 01:52:18.439 to give your biometrics over and it needs to be 1791 01:52:18.479 --> 01:52:22.279 state controlled. And you know, the centralization is the key, 1792 01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:24.640 and regulation is the key, and not these things that 1793 01:52:25.039 --> 01:52:28.159 led to so many bankruptcies and failures and other things. 1794 01:52:28.199 --> 01:52:31.119 That's what I get concerned with. And the number, that's 1795 01:52:31.119 --> 01:52:33.920 what in the crypto space you always hear about, you know, 1796 01:52:34.079 --> 01:52:37.079 number go up, And I don't think that's always the 1797 01:52:37.119 --> 01:52:40.800 best outcome, you know. I think steady as she goes 1798 01:52:40.840 --> 01:52:43.399 and building equity and building networks, and that's I think 1799 01:52:43.399 --> 01:52:45.479 a lot of people in the bitcoin space want to 1800 01:52:45.520 --> 01:52:49.119 build the bitcoin network. And that's certainly me. You know, 1801 01:52:49.560 --> 01:52:52.840 I'm bitcoin centered, Like we're building and we should have 1802 01:52:52.920 --> 01:52:55.920 the site live here within the next month for Wisewolf 1803 01:52:55.960 --> 01:52:58.600 Bitcoin and it's going to be bitcoin only. I mean, 1804 01:52:58.600 --> 01:53:01.560 it's just you can use bitcoin to buy and sell 1805 01:53:02.439 --> 01:53:05.199 with us, or you can buy precious metals with us, 1806 01:53:05.239 --> 01:53:07.399 will be able to It's very symbiotic what we're building, 1807 01:53:07.439 --> 01:53:11.000 and that's based off the Bitcoin network. But I get 1808 01:53:11.479 --> 01:53:14.159 really concerned, like I don't own these mean coins and 1809 01:53:14.199 --> 01:53:16.239 I'm not pushing if you see if you see me 1810 01:53:16.319 --> 01:53:19.479 pushing a mean coin of folks, I've been hided to 1811 01:53:19.560 --> 01:53:22.199 something's wrong, Like it's not Tony, So like I'm not 1812 01:53:22.239 --> 01:53:22.920 going to be doing that. 1813 01:53:23.640 --> 01:53:24.600 Somebody hijacked it. 1814 01:53:25.600 --> 01:53:30.560 Be be cautious. It's not me because it's irresponsible. And 1815 01:53:30.560 --> 01:53:32.760 you see what happens because I don't see any value 1816 01:53:32.800 --> 01:53:35.239 in it. You can make it by the way, you 1817 01:53:35.239 --> 01:53:37.039 can make a fortune in it, but you got to 1818 01:53:37.119 --> 01:53:40.560 ride the wave and then But that's not business to me. 1819 01:53:40.640 --> 01:53:43.840 That's yeah, that's gambling. That's the stock market. Like a 1820 01:53:43.840 --> 01:53:45.640 lot of the stock market it is. It really is 1821 01:53:45.920 --> 01:53:48.000 just speculation. It's a casino. Yeah. 1822 01:53:48.640 --> 01:53:51.399 Yeah, So I'm very skeptical of things like that, and 1823 01:53:51.520 --> 01:53:54.520 especially in this area, but that's where we are. There's 1824 01:53:54.520 --> 01:53:57.479 so much fake floating around and things that the pain 1825 01:53:57.560 --> 01:54:00.520 really hasn't hit. But I believe that we're just around 1826 01:54:00.520 --> 01:54:03.720 the corner for just it just takes a little push 1827 01:54:03.760 --> 01:54:07.159 into some uncertainty, and you'll start seeing that what's going 1828 01:54:07.239 --> 01:54:10.039 to win the day again, it's who hold the keys 1829 01:54:10.039 --> 01:54:14.039 of the commodities. I saw an article earlier today doing 1830 01:54:14.039 --> 01:54:16.680 some research, and there's a lot of analysts that are 1831 01:54:16.680 --> 01:54:20.039 concerned about if Trump goes through with some of these tariffs, 1832 01:54:20.119 --> 01:54:22.840 what it's going to do to the price of metals 1833 01:54:23.319 --> 01:54:26.159 and especially things like silver. They're clearing out the vaults 1834 01:54:26.279 --> 01:54:29.680 right now around the world, and a lot of these 1835 01:54:29.720 --> 01:54:33.119 companies and large holders of silver and gold are bringing 1836 01:54:33.159 --> 01:54:36.319 them home to the United States and housing them because 1837 01:54:36.800 --> 01:54:40.760 if if gold and silver are treated as a commodity 1838 01:54:40.840 --> 01:54:44.600 and not money by these tariffs, it throws off everything 1839 01:54:44.680 --> 01:54:48.880 and it creates a like a devaulting where all over 1840 01:54:48.920 --> 01:54:51.279 the world they started clearing out these balls. There's going 1841 01:54:51.359 --> 01:54:57.199 to be so much unintended consequences from just I mean again, nobody, 1842 01:54:57.319 --> 01:55:00.720 nobody's ever done that where we've punished their countries for 1843 01:55:00.800 --> 01:55:05.600 not using our currency outright with tariffs like that, even 1844 01:55:05.960 --> 01:55:10.119 that would not be And I'm somebody who's a proponent 1845 01:55:10.159 --> 01:55:12.960 of tariffs because of economic nationalism me too. Now what 1846 01:55:13.039 --> 01:55:13.680 this is. 1847 01:55:13.800 --> 01:55:16.680 What he's opposing, Yeah, it's very much. You know, he's 1848 01:55:16.720 --> 01:55:20.319 weaponizing our financial system against other people. It's what he's doing, 1849 01:55:20.560 --> 01:55:22.920 same thing that Biden did, except that you know, they 1850 01:55:23.039 --> 01:55:27.199 basically have both. They're going to destroy our financial system 1851 01:55:27.399 --> 01:55:30.359 by weaponizing it, but they have different ways of doing it. 1852 01:55:30.439 --> 01:55:33.359 You know, Biden's going to do it with sanctions, punitive sanctions. 1853 01:55:33.479 --> 01:55:36.439 He's going to do it with punitive tariffs. Same thing. 1854 01:55:36.600 --> 01:55:40.239 And when you take a situation as shaky as the 1855 01:55:40.319 --> 01:55:44.119 world economy is, regardless of where you look at, I mean, 1856 01:55:44.560 --> 01:55:48.439 China is not solid either. I played a clip last 1857 01:55:48.479 --> 01:55:52.920 week a lot of individual Chinese and I don't know 1858 01:55:52.960 --> 01:55:54.840 what happened to their social credit score when they posted 1859 01:55:54.840 --> 01:55:58.399 this stuff up, but they were showing pictures of empty trains, 1860 01:55:58.800 --> 01:56:03.560 pictures of empty cities, pictures of empty shopping malls. And 1861 01:56:03.600 --> 01:56:08.319 of course I've seen pictures of these MC mansions that 1862 01:56:08.119 --> 01:56:12.279 that the Chinese built, these entire, very elaborate, expensive homes, 1863 01:56:12.439 --> 01:56:16.039 never occupied. And so it is kind of a Potempkin 1864 01:56:16.279 --> 01:56:20.079 economy in many regards. And if Trump throws in these 1865 01:56:20.119 --> 01:56:22.880 kind of punitive tariffs, it's going to be like throwing 1866 01:56:22.880 --> 01:56:25.760 a bomb into a crowded theater. Here, who knows what's 1867 01:56:25.800 --> 01:56:27.880 going to happen and who's going to get killed with 1868 01:56:27.920 --> 01:56:30.159 this kind of stuff. But I think he's really going 1869 01:56:30.199 --> 01:56:33.319 to do it. He's an agent of chaos and and boy, 1870 01:56:34.560 --> 01:56:38.399 he puts in massive tariffs. And even if he doesn't 1871 01:56:38.399 --> 01:56:40.600 do it, even if he just uses it as a threat, 1872 01:56:41.319 --> 01:56:43.239 that's not going to be good for our economy because 1873 01:56:43.279 --> 01:56:47.319 people are tired of being threatened by the US government. 1874 01:56:47.359 --> 01:56:49.920 We've done that, you know, Biden does it, Trump does it. 1875 01:56:49.960 --> 01:56:51.800 They all do it. You know, they're they're the bad 1876 01:56:51.840 --> 01:56:54.319 boy in town. And you know, we we can use 1877 01:56:54.399 --> 01:56:56.800 military force to take Panama off we want, and you know, 1878 01:56:56.880 --> 01:56:58.920 there's nothing that you can do or say about it. 1879 01:56:58.960 --> 01:57:00.800 That's that's what we've seen these eyes operated for the 1880 01:57:00.840 --> 01:57:06.960 longest time. Arthur Hayes was saying that unexpected decisions from Trump, 1881 01:57:08.119 --> 01:57:10.880 or from the Bank of Japan or China's economic policies, 1882 01:57:10.880 --> 01:57:12.680 any of this kind of stuff. He says, any of 1883 01:57:12.720 --> 01:57:15.720 these things could trigger this. Anything's in addition to that, 1884 01:57:17.039 --> 01:57:20.159 tax deadlines that are coming up in April, a lot 1885 01:57:20.199 --> 01:57:23.159 of people perhaps are going to you know, we've seen 1886 01:57:23.199 --> 01:57:27.720 the kind of headwinds that the tax season has on crypto, 1887 01:57:27.960 --> 01:57:30.399 so he's thinking that it's going to hit the crypto 1888 01:57:30.640 --> 01:57:33.079 just in general, not just a bitcoin, but all of 1889 01:57:33.079 --> 01:57:36.439 them hit their peak in March of twenty twenty five, 1890 01:57:36.479 --> 01:57:39.199 so he's pretty specific in terms of his bearishness. 1891 01:57:40.640 --> 01:57:43.840 I think that will most likely turn out to be true. 1892 01:57:44.079 --> 01:57:46.760 Is based off of my own analysis, because again I'm 1893 01:57:46.760 --> 01:57:50.760 buying bitcoin and I'm for inventory, but I expect the 1894 01:57:50.800 --> 01:57:53.960 price to draw back, don't. I think we probably will 1895 01:57:54.039 --> 01:57:56.399 end twenty twenty five over where we are right now. 1896 01:57:56.439 --> 01:58:00.600 I think it'll be a decent year. But these were zealous. 1897 01:58:00.680 --> 01:58:03.359 I think they're just way out of front of what 1898 01:58:03.880 --> 01:58:06.159 bitcoin price is going to be. And again, if you 1899 01:58:06.159 --> 01:58:09.600 look at the other markets, they follow bitcoin. So if 1900 01:58:09.640 --> 01:58:12.279 Bitcoin's not really moving, these other things are going to 1901 01:58:12.319 --> 01:58:16.520 go stagnant, and the mean coin space and all the 1902 01:58:16.560 --> 01:58:20.039 stuff that doesn't serve a function will start to implode. 1903 01:58:20.079 --> 01:58:21.800 It's like the dot com era, you know that the 1904 01:58:21.840 --> 01:58:26.399 same thing dot Com overbuilt and there was so many 1905 01:58:26.960 --> 01:58:29.119 everything was going to be you know, one hundred x 1906 01:58:29.159 --> 01:58:31.239 and all times earnings and all this stuff, and it 1907 01:58:31.279 --> 01:58:33.119 was crazy. I remember my dad talk to me about it. 1908 01:58:33.159 --> 01:58:35.319 I was a kid, you know, but right before I 1909 01:58:35.319 --> 01:58:37.840 went to the military, were just discussing what the stock 1910 01:58:37.880 --> 01:58:40.319 market was and why he didn't own stocks, but he had, 1911 01:58:40.680 --> 01:58:44.640 you know, multiple businesses. He's like, this is they're they're overvalued, 1912 01:58:45.039 --> 01:58:46.600 and certainly that's true today. 1913 01:58:47.840 --> 01:58:50.600 On even companies like Cisco and Intel went down. It 1914 01:58:50.680 --> 01:58:53.479 wasn't just pet dot com, you know, it wasn't just 1915 01:58:53.520 --> 01:58:56.279 some retail you know all pretty much most of these 1916 01:58:56.399 --> 01:58:59.520 retail dot com things that people have bet so much money. 1917 01:58:59.560 --> 01:59:02.079 It's kind of like meme coins today. And about the 1918 01:59:02.119 --> 01:59:04.199 only one that really survived was Amazon. 1919 01:59:04.439 --> 01:59:07.399 And the earth Link, you know, like, what's the latest 1920 01:59:07.399 --> 01:59:10.359 from Amazon, I mean, or not Amazon, but AOL you know, 1921 01:59:10.479 --> 01:59:13.319 I mean a Toime Warner, they you know, Worldcon. They 1922 01:59:13.319 --> 01:59:16.000 had all these things that refused together at that time 1923 01:59:16.159 --> 01:59:18.880 and they're just not household names anymore. And I lost 1924 01:59:18.880 --> 01:59:22.039 the massive market share. They just you know, they had 1925 01:59:22.079 --> 01:59:25.119 their time, and it wasn't what fit. I think that 1926 01:59:25.159 --> 01:59:29.039 will that will be what's sorted out here with the crypto. 1927 01:59:29.239 --> 01:59:31.439 I still believe in the space, but I think, you know, 1928 01:59:32.119 --> 01:59:34.720 so many things are about number go up, and it's 1929 01:59:34.760 --> 01:59:39.359 not about fundamentals or about what makes the coin usable valuable. 1930 01:59:39.960 --> 01:59:41.760 And I think the only thing that really serves any 1931 01:59:41.760 --> 01:59:46.119 purpose right now, aside from possibly x RP or or ethereum, 1932 01:59:46.119 --> 01:59:50.159 which I still I don't own any of it is bitcoin. 1933 01:59:50.439 --> 01:59:53.920 Yeah, you mentioned Earthlink. I was so disappointed to lose 1934 01:59:53.960 --> 01:59:56.800 my email address that I had at Earthlink. I put 1935 01:59:56.800 --> 01:59:59.720 in DK at Earthlink, but I spelled it out dec 1936 02:00:00.159 --> 02:00:06.039 why at Earthlink comment that went away? I get a 1937 02:00:06.119 --> 02:00:09.600 question for you from Kowalama, says Tony talking about insurance 1938 02:00:09.600 --> 02:00:13.840 in California today, white companies insure gold and silver bullion 1939 02:00:13.960 --> 02:00:18.399 at home bank deposit box or at a private deposit box. 1940 02:00:18.520 --> 02:00:19.960 Are these policies worth it? 1941 02:00:21.840 --> 02:00:25.079 Well, I use the Hartford as what I use for insurance. 1942 02:00:25.119 --> 02:00:27.560 You can look into that. But if you're storing your 1943 02:00:27.560 --> 02:00:30.479 gold and silver, I mean, look at some reputable places. 1944 02:00:30.640 --> 02:00:33.680 I know Andy Sheckman over at Myles Franklin, I've you know, 1945 02:00:33.680 --> 02:00:35.720 I've talked to him and he's he's got a really 1946 02:00:35.760 --> 02:00:38.560 good storage program with Brinks. So you got to have 1947 02:00:38.600 --> 02:00:40.479 a you got to have a strong name whenever you're 1948 02:00:40.840 --> 02:00:43.479 you're putting it anywhere. And of course we'd have a 1949 02:00:44.079 --> 02:00:47.279 through the trading floor in Dallas for through dyl Engage. 1950 02:00:47.640 --> 02:00:50.359 We have our storage with I d s and others 1951 02:00:50.399 --> 02:00:54.159 for your I ras, and those are insured massively. So, 1952 02:00:54.159 --> 02:00:58.319 but if you're in private hands again, you want to 1953 02:00:58.359 --> 02:01:01.640 just really be cautious about that. They'll they'll probably have 1954 02:01:01.720 --> 02:01:05.239 some suggestions at the wherever you're storing it on the insurance. 1955 02:01:05.279 --> 02:01:08.000 But I use I use the hard Ford. They've been 1956 02:01:08.720 --> 02:01:10.479 decently transparent. 1957 02:01:10.640 --> 02:01:12.520 And that's as like an extra writer that you put 1958 02:01:12.560 --> 02:01:13.560 on your homeowner policy. 1959 02:01:14.159 --> 02:01:17.840 We talked, yes, yeah, I use that for business and 1960 02:01:18.359 --> 02:01:21.680 you know, I've I've got to land in Arkansas and 1961 02:01:22.039 --> 02:01:23.880 my house here in Texas. So it's kind of a 1962 02:01:24.119 --> 02:01:28.199 universal policy that covers businesses and inventory and things, and 1963 02:01:27.920 --> 02:01:30.479 they know they're very aware of, like, you know what 1964 02:01:30.520 --> 02:01:33.239 I hold. So that's what I use, is the hart. 1965 02:01:33.079 --> 02:01:35.439 For Yeah, And that's the kind of thing that you know, 1966 02:01:35.560 --> 02:01:38.159 if you've got anything that's got a lot of concentrated value, 1967 02:01:38.239 --> 02:01:41.199 you need to have that. Make sure the insurance company 1968 02:01:41.239 --> 02:01:43.640 is aware of that, and that is you know, you 1969 02:01:44.079 --> 02:01:46.039 declare that and make sure that they have ensured that 1970 02:01:46.119 --> 02:01:48.840 as well anytime you got something of value. So what's 1971 02:01:48.880 --> 02:01:51.000 going on at at Wiswolf You said you've got the 1972 02:01:51.239 --> 02:01:53.960 bitcoin exchange that you're working on is coming up soon? Right? 1973 02:01:54.239 --> 02:01:54.640 What else? 1974 02:01:54.960 --> 02:01:57.920 As fast as I can working on that and we 1975 02:01:57.960 --> 02:01:59.800 should and we should be like by the time we 1976 02:01:59.840 --> 02:02:02.720 do our show next week, David, I should be live 1977 02:02:02.760 --> 02:02:06.439 where you can use bitcoin to buy gold and silver 1978 02:02:06.840 --> 02:02:09.920 through me online and with no fee, and we're the 1979 02:02:09.960 --> 02:02:12.159 only broker in America that does that. It will be 1980 02:02:12.359 --> 02:02:15.159 no transactional fee whatsoever. You just pay for the price 1981 02:02:15.159 --> 02:02:17.399 of the metals. It'd be like cash wow, and that 1982 02:02:18.000 --> 02:02:19.680 if you're doing that, if you have a if you 1983 02:02:19.680 --> 02:02:21.079 have a credit card, you have to pay a fee 1984 02:02:21.079 --> 02:02:23.159 because we have to absorb that. But I've made it 1985 02:02:23.159 --> 02:02:26.560 to where bitcoin is pretty symbiotic with us, and we'll 1986 02:02:26.600 --> 02:02:29.239 be doing some press releases, so we're really excited about that. 1987 02:02:29.279 --> 02:02:31.520 There's that's been a network I had to build in 1988 02:02:31.600 --> 02:02:34.319 and it's not as easy as it looks. So the 1989 02:02:34.359 --> 02:02:36.640 shopping cart will all be set up for Wolfpack. You'll 1990 02:02:36.640 --> 02:02:38.720 be able to do one time purchases, and then we're 1991 02:02:38.720 --> 02:02:42.560 going to add some other aspects to that site so 1992 02:02:42.640 --> 02:02:44.239 you can just you know, if you want to do 1993 02:02:44.279 --> 02:02:46.399 a blanket amount or something of gold and silver and 1994 02:02:46.439 --> 02:02:49.680 we buy it for you or whatever. We'll have We 1995 02:02:49.760 --> 02:02:51.600 have so many programs rolling out, but it's going to 1996 02:02:51.600 --> 02:02:56.800 be a symbiotic relationship between bitcoin and gold and silver 1997 02:02:56.960 --> 02:02:59.159 with no fee, So we're looking forward to that. 1998 02:02:59.239 --> 02:03:01.039 So you can move back of mean bitcoin and goal 1999 02:03:01.079 --> 02:03:02.560 without a fee. That's cool. 2000 02:03:03.119 --> 02:03:05.640 Yes, Yeah, you can get into precious metals no fee 2001 02:03:05.760 --> 02:03:08.800 when you shop through us, which will be again nobody 2002 02:03:08.840 --> 02:03:11.880 else does that, and we're glad that we're the first. 2003 02:03:12.079 --> 02:03:14.760 Well that's really good. So yeah, people are concerned about 2004 02:03:14.760 --> 02:03:17.560 something crashing, it's a way for them to switch it 2005 02:03:17.600 --> 02:03:20.239 into something else coming up. So that's great and we 2006 02:03:20.239 --> 02:03:23.079 can talk about the details of that and more about 2007 02:03:23.079 --> 02:03:25.640 that next week when you come back on anything else 2008 02:03:25.720 --> 02:03:28.880 going on at wisewelf. That's a big deal and I 2009 02:03:28.920 --> 02:03:30.359 know that's a lot of work to get all that 2010 02:03:30.399 --> 02:03:34.239 stuff together, and especially because all those regulations are still there. 2011 02:03:34.760 --> 02:03:38.000 Oh, it's still that. I brought on my little brother, 2012 02:03:38.680 --> 02:03:41.640 little he's I call him a little brother. I brought 2013 02:03:41.680 --> 02:03:45.680 my brother in to help me, and he ran a 2014 02:03:45.840 --> 02:03:49.479 fairly large bitcoin ATM business that we started together. But 2015 02:03:49.520 --> 02:03:52.000 he took it and ran with it for many years 2016 02:03:52.159 --> 02:03:54.560 and sold it within the last couple of years. So 2017 02:03:54.560 --> 02:03:57.399 he knows all everywhere. You know, where everybody is and 2018 02:03:57.560 --> 02:04:00.439 who to talk with on regulation and banking. Brought him 2019 02:04:00.439 --> 02:04:02.840 in and we're going to fuse the two things together, 2020 02:04:03.279 --> 02:04:05.520 which I think, you know, even with what we discussed 2021 02:04:05.520 --> 02:04:07.800 with the crypto space, I think it's going to be volatile. 2022 02:04:08.319 --> 02:04:12.039 But I'm betting that, you know, again, the free market 2023 02:04:12.119 --> 02:04:17.640 or innovation and the entrepreneurs still drive civilization. So I'm 2024 02:04:17.640 --> 02:04:20.800 still still optimistic there that those things will go together. 2025 02:04:20.840 --> 02:04:22.720 And then of course the precious metals, David, I mean, 2026 02:04:23.680 --> 02:04:26.960 I still think we're massively undervalued. Most analysts are looking 2027 02:04:26.960 --> 02:04:30.479 at rising gold and silver prices, and I know that 2028 02:04:30.479 --> 02:04:33.840 they will because you have the FED meeting and they're 2029 02:04:34.439 --> 02:04:37.479 talking about inflation and they don't know why. It's just 2030 02:04:37.520 --> 02:04:39.000 they don't know where it's coming from. But they're going 2031 02:04:39.039 --> 02:04:41.000 to lower rates. And I'm just thinking, okay, And you know, 2032 02:04:41.079 --> 02:04:45.359 Janet Yelling is thinking maybe that the COVID stimulus had 2033 02:04:45.399 --> 02:04:49.239 something to do with it. So I'm still betting on 2034 02:04:49.840 --> 02:04:52.840 precious metals and finite Well, even when you look at. 2035 02:04:52.720 --> 02:04:54.840 Some of the big banks and their analysts are saying, well, 2036 02:04:54.840 --> 02:04:56.600 maybe not. You know, a lot of them were saying 2037 02:04:56.600 --> 02:05:00.000 three thousand by January whatever for gold. Now they're saying, well, 2038 02:05:00.039 --> 02:05:01.560 maybe by the end of the year or whatever. But 2039 02:05:01.560 --> 02:05:04.319 that's still a pretty big increase, you know, going from 2040 02:05:04.359 --> 02:05:06.479 what is it now, about twenty six hundred something to 2041 02:05:07.239 --> 02:05:10.520 three thousand. That's a you're not going to make anything 2042 02:05:10.560 --> 02:05:13.640 at all like that. In the savings account, they don't. 2043 02:05:13.800 --> 02:05:17.319 They play zero, like zero point one percent interest or 2044 02:05:17.359 --> 02:05:18.000 something like that. 2045 02:05:18.399 --> 02:05:22.439 But we'll start moving something after January twentieth, after the 2046 02:05:22.479 --> 02:05:26.239 inaugurate I think you'll just start seeing rising precious metals prices. 2047 02:05:26.319 --> 02:05:28.039 And the reason is is because there's going to be 2048 02:05:28.079 --> 02:05:30.560 a massive amount of spending. You and I both know this. 2049 02:05:30.680 --> 02:05:34.680 It's going to be a suspending spree the likes of 2050 02:05:34.720 --> 02:05:37.840 which we probably never seen before. There's going to be 2051 02:05:37.920 --> 02:05:40.199 a lot of it because that's what the previous Trump 2052 02:05:40.199 --> 02:05:43.159 administration was all about, the stock market, and you know, 2053 02:05:43.319 --> 02:05:46.880 just inflating that. And if we recall Venezuela, they had 2054 02:05:46.880 --> 02:05:49.760 a you know, booming stock market too while the currency 2055 02:05:49.920 --> 02:05:52.600 was dying. And it won't be like that necessarily in 2056 02:05:52.600 --> 02:05:56.359 the US. But the King Trump loves a weaker dollars. 2057 02:05:56.479 --> 02:05:59.159 He wants that, and it's it can be good to 2058 02:05:59.199 --> 02:06:01.960 fuel a lot of things in the short term. But 2059 02:06:02.079 --> 02:06:04.560 we both know what that does to the price of commodities. 2060 02:06:04.600 --> 02:06:06.760 It's going to drive that and that's that's what those 2061 02:06:06.800 --> 02:06:07.840 analysts are predicting. 2062 02:06:07.840 --> 02:06:10.159 I think they're right, yeah, oh yeah, I think people 2063 02:06:10.159 --> 02:06:13.439 are going to be It's going to whether or not 2064 02:06:13.720 --> 02:06:16.680 the make Amnes your greater kind of crowd gets it 2065 02:06:16.840 --> 02:06:18.800 or not the other people are going to get it, 2066 02:06:18.840 --> 02:06:21.960 and it's going to have real effect when the rosy 2067 02:06:22.119 --> 02:06:25.640 scenario that people are expecting from Trump doesn't happen, and 2068 02:06:25.880 --> 02:06:28.439 I seriously don't think it is. But it's great the 2069 02:06:28.960 --> 02:06:32.159 entrepreneurism that you do in terms of not just what 2070 02:06:32.159 --> 02:06:35.680 you're planning on doing with bitcoin and gold and going 2071 02:06:35.720 --> 02:06:38.319 back and forth, but also with wolf Pack and so 2072 02:06:39.439 --> 02:06:43.159 again that's something unique that nobody else does that you've 2073 02:06:43.199 --> 02:06:46.039 done and kept that up for quite some time. So 2074 02:06:46.239 --> 02:06:49.000 it's great. And you've got a program that is coming 2075 02:06:49.079 --> 02:06:52.159 up right after this. Tell them where they can find 2076 02:06:52.199 --> 02:06:56.079 that at noon Eastern time or eleven Central time. 2077 02:06:56.199 --> 02:07:00.439 Where noon in the eastern eleventh Central Artoburn Radio transmission week. 2078 02:07:00.479 --> 02:07:03.520 This is episode four hundred and ninety five, So join 2079 02:07:03.600 --> 02:07:06.560 us today. I'm on the Quest for five hundred. We're 2080 02:07:06.600 --> 02:07:11.560 broadcasting over WWCR. I just got that contract renewed. I 2081 02:07:11.640 --> 02:07:15.119 got I'm off all traditional talk radio now, David, I 2082 02:07:15.239 --> 02:07:17.600 just decided I'd outgrown and it's not for me anymore. 2083 02:07:17.600 --> 02:07:20.199 It seemed like a game, like a lot of the 2084 02:07:20.239 --> 02:07:23.319 content is just silly to me. At this point, we've 2085 02:07:23.399 --> 02:07:25.920 moved past that and I put away childish things, so 2086 02:07:25.920 --> 02:07:28.880 I'm not doing that anymore. But you can find me 2087 02:07:28.920 --> 02:07:32.520 on x at Tony Arterburn and on Rockfin on the 2088 02:07:32.520 --> 02:07:36.039 America un Plug channel and on Rumble. So join us 2089 02:07:36.079 --> 02:07:38.760 over there. What's a solid hour. I see what I 2090 02:07:38.800 --> 02:07:41.039 can come up with.

Take you 2094 02:07:48.439 --> 02:07:50.079 to him, let him know that you came through us, 2095 02:07:50.079 --> 02:07:52.279 and he can help you get set up with wolf Pack. 2096 02:07:52.319 --> 02:07:55.319 It's a great way to accumulate gradually, to accumulate gold 2097 02:07:55.359 --> 02:07:58.880 and silver as kind of a savings program. I remember 2098 02:07:58.920 --> 02:08:02.560 when Americans used to Well you can still do that. 2099 02:08:02.560 --> 02:08:04.319 That's still up to you. Thank you so much for 2100 02:08:04.399 --> 02:08:06.399 joining us, Tony. Always great talking to you. Thank you 2101 02:08:06.439 --> 02:08:09.319 for supporting this program. Appreciate it, thank you, appreciate you. 2102 02:08:09.479 --> 02:08:12.479 All Right, folks are going to be right back, stay 2103 02:08:12.560 --> 02:08:12.880 with us. 2104 02:09:04.119 --> 02:09:06.520 You're listening to the David Night Show. 2105 02:09:08.039 --> 02:09:11.039 Well, we've got some emails here that was actually sent 2106 02:09:11.079 --> 02:09:13.720 to me before Christmas, and you know, when Christmas hit, 2107 02:09:14.159 --> 02:09:17.119 we were trying to catch up and then we just 2108 02:09:18.039 --> 02:09:21.159 things are so busy around here. We just turned everything 2109 02:09:21.199 --> 02:09:24.720 off and just relaxed and took a break. And so 2110 02:09:25.640 --> 02:09:27.079 I want to get back to some of these. This 2111 02:09:27.119 --> 02:09:31.279 is from Dusty. I thought this is very unusual selling 2112 02:09:31.319 --> 02:09:36.680 you sunlight. This is a company called reflect Orbitable Orbital 2113 02:09:37.239 --> 02:09:42.920 and they're talking about putting mirrors in space and they 2114 02:09:42.920 --> 02:09:45.520 will sell you sunlight at night so you can keep 2115 02:09:45.520 --> 02:09:48.119 your solar power going around the clock. Well, of course 2116 02:09:48.319 --> 02:09:52.199 that's not really going to be targeted I guess to 2117 02:09:52.359 --> 02:09:56.560 an individual. But it will be targeted, I think to 2118 02:09:56.640 --> 02:09:59.560 these solar farms. Something they're going to do. I guess 2119 02:09:59.560 --> 02:10:03.439 that's something we can all look forward to, and that 2120 02:10:03.600 --> 02:10:05.359 is going to be looking up into the sky and 2121 02:10:05.399 --> 02:10:10.520 seeing nothing but tens of thousands of Elon Musk's starlinks. 2122 02:10:10.720 --> 02:10:15.079 And now we're going to have these things reflecting light 2123 02:10:15.399 --> 02:10:17.520 all around the clock. It'd be like we all live 2124 02:10:17.560 --> 02:10:21.279 at the poll or something, you know, except you don't 2125 02:10:21.279 --> 02:10:24.119 get six months of darkness. You never get any darkness 2126 02:10:24.159 --> 02:10:27.680 that's there. And then I wanted to think, and he 2127 02:10:27.760 --> 02:10:30.479 just put his name there as Kay, and I haven't 2128 02:10:30.680 --> 02:10:32.680 responded to yet. I just wanted to thank you for 2129 02:10:32.760 --> 02:10:37.239 all the great ideas that he had about social networking, 2130 02:10:37.279 --> 02:10:43.239 about how we could do customer relations better, different organizations 2131 02:10:43.439 --> 02:10:45.760 or programs or websites that are out there that help 2132 02:10:45.800 --> 02:10:50.920 you with customer relations, because we're just totally subscribed to 2133 02:10:50.680 --> 02:10:54.039 this show and it's taking up all my time and 2134 02:10:54.039 --> 02:10:56.600 it's one thing I feel really bad about is not 2135 02:10:58.399 --> 02:11:01.199 connecting more with customers. So maybe we can do a 2136 02:11:01.199 --> 02:11:03.039 better job of that coming up, And I just want 2137 02:11:03.119 --> 02:11:06.560 to say, you know, he took it on himself to 2138 02:11:06.640 --> 02:11:09.399 send this here, and we're looking at how we can 2139 02:11:10.119 --> 02:11:14.479 fix the website and get into some other social media platforms. 2140 02:11:14.720 --> 02:11:16.279 For the love of the road has gotten us on 2141 02:11:16.319 --> 02:11:20.720 to Telegram, but we need to do more with substack 2142 02:11:21.079 --> 02:11:24.720 and other things like that. But if you've got some 2143 02:11:24.840 --> 02:11:26.800 ideas for some of these things, and he gave us 2144 02:11:26.840 --> 02:11:29.119 some great ideas of how to save money, you know, 2145 02:11:29.399 --> 02:11:32.720 free alternatives to zoom and some other things like that, 2146 02:11:33.520 --> 02:11:35.960 If you've got any ideas, please pass them on to us. 2147 02:11:36.720 --> 02:11:38.800 What he said at the end of it, he said, 2148 02:11:38.880 --> 02:11:40.800 it's been interesting to see how you get banned on 2149 02:11:40.840 --> 02:11:44.079 so many different platforms. Makes me dig deeper to find 2150 02:11:44.119 --> 02:11:47.359 real solutions for you and your families. I appreciate that 2151 02:11:47.560 --> 02:11:50.720 it say it's time to pull in all your favors 2152 02:11:51.399 --> 02:11:54.439 and your supporter's knowledge to get up and going in 2153 02:11:54.479 --> 02:11:58.159 twenty twenty five, time to build your own Noah's arc 2154 02:11:58.439 --> 02:12:02.039 in terms of the medium, He's absolutely right. So we're 2155 02:12:02.039 --> 02:12:03.640 going to hope that we can get this done and 2156 02:12:03.680 --> 02:12:06.760 we certainly would appreciate any suggestions that you've got. And 2157 02:12:06.840 --> 02:12:10.359 as I said, we struggle with the customer relations if 2158 02:12:10.359 --> 02:12:12.439 we don't get back to you here. This was an 2159 02:12:12.439 --> 02:12:15.000 email that he sent December to twenty second, so it's 2160 02:12:15.039 --> 02:12:18.079 taken us a while to address that. This is also 2161 02:12:18.600 --> 02:12:20.279 something that was sent at that point in time I 2162 02:12:20.319 --> 02:12:24.479 thought was very interesting. This is sent by Gary and 2163 02:12:26.000 --> 02:12:29.560 he said, a longtime listener since about twenty sixteen. He said, 2164 02:12:29.560 --> 02:12:33.600 I'm writing to you about a company called Sharkfin that 2165 02:12:33.680 --> 02:12:36.359 may be tied to DARPA. And he said, maybe you 2166 02:12:36.359 --> 02:12:38.239 can do some more research on this, but he did 2167 02:12:38.279 --> 02:12:39.760 quite a bit of research on it. He said. The 2168 02:12:39.880 --> 02:12:43.079 US company shark Finn was a startup in twenty twenty 2169 02:12:43.079 --> 02:12:47.399 that manufactures dog collars and harnesses with a focus on 2170 02:12:47.720 --> 02:12:54.319 animal to human to AI robot interface. Now that's interesting. 2171 02:12:54.680 --> 02:12:57.319 You know, I'm not about to put a brain computer 2172 02:12:57.359 --> 02:13:02.560 interface into my body, but if I were ever to 2173 02:13:02.560 --> 02:13:04.119 do something like that, it would be so that I 2174 02:13:04.159 --> 02:13:06.479 could figure out what was on my border Collie's mind. 2175 02:13:09.199 --> 02:13:12.640 The smartest dogs I've ever had, and I would really 2176 02:13:12.680 --> 02:13:15.039 like to know what he's thinking sometimes, although I think 2177 02:13:15.079 --> 02:13:18.520 I got a pretty good clue from body language that 2178 02:13:18.560 --> 02:13:21.399 he's doing. I mean, he gets obsessed whenever it's raining, 2179 02:13:21.439 --> 02:13:26.079 he gets obsessed with the rain drops. He can stay 2180 02:13:26.119 --> 02:13:29.319 outside all day chasing rain drops that are dripping off 2181 02:13:29.359 --> 02:13:32.319 the corner of the roof. But this is and we 2182 02:13:32.399 --> 02:13:39.920 know that DARPA has been heavily focused on the brain. Obama, 2183 02:13:40.479 --> 02:13:44.000 going back into the middle of his administration, he had 2184 02:13:44.039 --> 02:13:47.000 the br ai N project, which I forget what the 2185 02:13:47.039 --> 02:13:50.039 acronym was, but they spent a couple hundred million dollars 2186 02:13:50.079 --> 02:13:51.800 on it in just one year. I mean a huge 2187 02:13:51.800 --> 02:13:55.640 amount of money being put into brain computer interfaces, but 2188 02:13:55.760 --> 02:13:59.960 also how they can read our minds and how dark, 2189 02:14:00.319 --> 02:14:03.600 you know, because it's defense supposedly defense, it's not really 2190 02:14:04.680 --> 02:14:09.520 DARPA is at war with us. But DARPA said, well, 2191 02:14:09.960 --> 02:14:12.800 we've got troops who have PTSD, so we would like 2192 02:14:12.880 --> 02:14:17.840 to be able to selectively erase troublesome memories or things 2193 02:14:17.840 --> 02:14:21.319 like that replace them, you know, like total recall that 2194 02:14:21.439 --> 02:14:24.560 type of thing. And I said, yeah, right, that's kind 2195 02:14:24.600 --> 02:14:27.920 of like saying we need these autonomous killer robots to 2196 02:14:27.960 --> 02:14:31.760 help the little ladies go across the street. It's patently absurd, 2197 02:14:31.800 --> 02:14:33.600 but that's where they have been. They've been in that 2198 02:14:34.159 --> 02:14:36.760 space for quite some time. And it's not just Elon 2199 02:14:36.840 --> 02:14:38.960 Musk doing the brain computer interface. There's a lot of 2200 02:14:39.000 --> 02:14:42.680 different companies unfortunately, that are working on that all the time. 2201 02:14:43.039 --> 02:14:45.119 They can always make a great case and say, well, 2202 02:14:45.119 --> 02:14:48.159 we've got people who are paralyzed and we want to Yes, certainly, 2203 02:14:49.479 --> 02:14:52.840 but we know that just like artificial intelligence, you know, 2204 02:14:52.920 --> 02:14:55.680 it's not going to be fundamentally about that. That's the 2205 02:14:55.760 --> 02:14:58.159 way that they're going to sell it to people. That's 2206 02:14:58.199 --> 02:15:01.439 going to be their excuse. But he as part of 2207 02:15:01.479 --> 02:15:04.319 his researcher, he's got shark fins vision statement. Listen to 2208 02:15:04.359 --> 02:15:09.239 this we envision of future where the connection between animals 2209 02:15:09.359 --> 02:15:13.840 and humans is strengthened with the integration of AI and 2210 02:15:13.960 --> 02:15:20.239 hardware technology. This entails equipping animals with specialized gear and 2211 02:15:20.359 --> 02:15:28.760 utilizing sentient being communication devices. That's trademarked sentient being communication devices, 2212 02:15:28.760 --> 02:15:33.199 a trademark for that term. And so they said that 2213 02:15:34.239 --> 02:15:37.199 they'll establish a communication bridge between animals and humans, leveraging 2214 02:15:37.239 --> 02:15:41.000 the capabilities of cloud computing as well as direct connections 2215 02:15:41.039 --> 02:15:44.760 through Bluetooth and Wi Fi. Additionally, both humans and animals 2216 02:15:44.800 --> 02:15:50.479 will engage in communication with humanoid robots facilitated by these 2217 02:15:50.680 --> 02:15:57.920 diverse devices. You know, something like this dog just say 2218 02:15:58.119 --> 02:15:58.640 hi there. 2219 02:15:58.880 --> 02:16:01.720 Oh yes, my name is Doug. 2220 02:16:02.039 --> 02:16:04.680 I have just met you, and I loved you. 2221 02:16:05.319 --> 02:16:06.880 My master made me his collar. 2222 02:16:07.159 --> 02:16:09.279 He is a good smart master, and he made me 2223 02:16:09.359 --> 02:16:11.680 his collar so that I may talk squirrel. 2224 02:16:15.720 --> 02:16:19.079 That was swarm up. While the immediate the immediate focus 2225 02:16:19.199 --> 02:16:23.119 centers on dogs and cats, the envision expanding their impact 2226 02:16:23.159 --> 02:16:26.840 to encompass a broader spectrum of creatures and the times ahead. 2227 02:16:27.079 --> 02:16:30.600 They're going to go full doctor Dolittle. It's DARPA do little. 2228 02:16:34.280 --> 02:16:36.399 If I could talk to talk to the animals, right 2229 02:16:37.399 --> 02:16:42.120 speaking chimpanzee. The sharkfin collar has a sharkfin shape to 2230 02:16:42.200 --> 02:16:45.760 it that houses the electronics. From the sound of their 2231 02:16:45.799 --> 02:16:49.200 mission statement, it's gary and the vision that they want 2232 02:16:49.239 --> 02:16:52.719 to use animals for surveillance and control of people and 2233 02:16:52.760 --> 02:16:55.920 who knows what else sounds very much like DARP and 2234 02:16:55.959 --> 02:17:00.440 their brain Gate stuff. That's everything the government does about 2235 02:17:00.479 --> 02:17:05.799 spying on us, lying to us, controlling us. We know 2236 02:17:05.879 --> 02:17:07.440 where all of these things are going to go, and 2237 02:17:07.680 --> 02:17:13.360 it is really concerning how this is all expanding and 2238 02:17:13.399 --> 02:17:17.120 how they're using our money to set up systems of enslavement, 2239 02:17:18.360 --> 02:17:21.479 open air prisons and that type of thing. But again, 2240 02:17:22.479 --> 02:17:24.520 if you are a Christian, you don't need to fear that. 2241 02:17:25.239 --> 02:17:27.760 You know we can transcend, that we have other weapons 2242 02:17:27.799 --> 02:17:30.840 that are mighty, and God is going to be the 2243 02:17:30.879 --> 02:17:33.959 one who has a last say on all of this stuff. 2244 02:17:35.000 --> 02:17:37.040 Maybe he says, at some point, you can look further 2245 02:17:37.079 --> 02:17:40.520 into this, and I will look into this. But yet 2246 02:17:40.559 --> 02:17:45.239 another one of these things that never ends, absolutely never ends. 2247 02:17:46.280 --> 02:17:50.159 We're going to have a guest who's going to join 2248 02:17:50.239 --> 02:17:52.879 us and talk about some of the crazy environmental things 2249 02:17:52.920 --> 02:17:55.600 that are happening in Washington State. It's going to be 2250 02:17:55.639 --> 02:17:57.799 a shorter interview. It's going to join us in about 2251 02:17:57.799 --> 02:18:01.399 another fifteen minutes or so. Gonna take a quick break 2252 02:18:01.639 --> 02:18:04.280 and then we're gonna come come back. I want to 2253 02:18:04.319 --> 02:18:07.280 give you a little bit of information about what I 2254 02:18:07.280 --> 02:18:12.079 think is really up in Greenland. Uh, some of the 2255 02:18:12.120 --> 02:18:16.760 alternative ulterior motives that Trump may have there. It was 2256 02:18:16.799 --> 02:18:18.799 something that was sent to me by Goat Tree, and 2257 02:18:18.879 --> 02:18:20.479 I thought he was a spot on. 2258 02:18:21.000 --> 02:18:21.079 Uh. 2259 02:18:21.120 --> 02:18:22.440 So we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be 2260 02:18:22.520 --> 02:18:22.920 right back. 2261 02:18:32.520 --> 02:18:40.040 H h h. 2262 02:19:09.399 --> 02:19:11.760 You're listening to the David Knight Show. 2263 02:19:13.159 --> 02:19:16.719 Well, you know we've laughed about Trump and his Gulf 2264 02:19:16.760 --> 02:19:20.399 of America. Maybe it should be the Gulf of Amnesia now, 2265 02:19:21.239 --> 02:19:23.440 because maybe he just wants people to forget about the 2266 02:19:23.440 --> 02:19:26.920 other stuff that he's doing. But Marjorie Taylor Green has 2267 02:19:26.959 --> 02:19:30.559 now pinned a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico 2268 02:19:30.680 --> 02:19:34.159 the Gulf of America. Now we all have to figure 2269 02:19:34.159 --> 02:19:35.799 out how we're going to get everybody else to use 2270 02:19:35.799 --> 02:19:40.399 that term. So this is his top priority, and it's 2271 02:19:40.399 --> 02:19:44.399 her top priority. Of course, everybody everybody in politics, whether 2272 02:19:44.479 --> 02:19:48.239 they're in Washington or whether they're in Ottawa, the Canadian Capitol, 2273 02:19:48.479 --> 02:19:51.040 they've all got to suck up to Donald Trump. It's amazing, 2274 02:19:51.760 --> 02:19:55.000 and so this is, I think a distraction from real problems. 2275 02:19:55.040 --> 02:19:57.760 Listen to the way that she introduces us. She says, 2276 02:19:58.479 --> 02:20:04.319 Mexican cartels currently used the Golf of Mexico for trafficking humans, drugs, 2277 02:20:04.319 --> 02:20:07.399 and weapons and who knows what else. Well, the Mexican 2278 02:20:07.440 --> 02:20:09.120 government allows them to do it. The American people are 2279 02:20:09.159 --> 02:20:10.840 fitting the bill to Protect and Secure of the maritime. 2280 02:20:10.879 --> 02:20:13.440 So we need to change the name to the Gulf 2281 02:20:13.479 --> 02:20:15.559 of America and that should fix it. All right, How 2282 02:20:15.639 --> 02:20:18.319 is that going to change any of this stuff? It's 2283 02:20:18.360 --> 02:20:20.200 not going to change anything to call it the Gulf 2284 02:20:20.280 --> 02:20:24.200 of America. But as I said, Goatree sent this to me. 2285 02:20:24.239 --> 02:20:27.799 He said, you know, everybody's talking about what Trump is 2286 02:20:27.879 --> 02:20:30.440 up to in Greenland, and of course we have, oh 2287 02:20:30.440 --> 02:20:35.600 it's national security. We've got a military basis there, and 2288 02:20:35.879 --> 02:20:40.479 you know we can have arrangements to buy minerals that 2289 02:20:40.520 --> 02:20:42.479 are there and other things like that as well. But 2290 02:20:43.639 --> 02:20:45.680 you know, why why do we have to take them over? 2291 02:20:45.719 --> 02:20:48.239 Had another friend who contacted me. He said, you know, 2292 02:20:50.000 --> 02:20:54.280 if you if you would bring in Canada, for example, 2293 02:20:55.680 --> 02:20:58.600 you look at the population and you know what is 2294 02:20:58.639 --> 02:21:01.399 going to happen with Canada, which is mostly left wing, 2295 02:21:01.120 --> 02:21:03.440 and be like adding another California or a couple of 2296 02:21:03.479 --> 02:21:07.000 Californias to the electoral college thing. That's not going to 2297 02:21:07.040 --> 02:21:11.000 happen bringing in California. But we look at Greenland, they 2298 02:21:11.000 --> 02:21:15.120 could easily bribe the people there to an election to 2299 02:21:15.319 --> 02:21:19.639 want to be part of America. Gotree wrote this. He says, 2300 02:21:20.079 --> 02:21:23.639 as the glaciers are pulling back, or even I guess, 2301 02:21:24.000 --> 02:21:27.879 as they're even doing more explanation and exploration and looking. 2302 02:21:28.200 --> 02:21:31.959 He said, they're finding insane amounts of oil, of rare earth, 2303 02:21:32.079 --> 02:21:36.799 minerals of gold and silver, of uranium, and of gymstones 2304 02:21:38.040 --> 02:21:42.600 kind of laying around, unmolested, undisturbed right there for the taking. 2305 02:21:43.120 --> 02:21:46.639 He says. We're talking multi trillions of dollars of assets 2306 02:21:46.680 --> 02:21:50.559 there for the taking. He goes, here's a YouTube clip, 2307 02:21:50.799 --> 02:21:54.879 he says, of some guys walking around and they're finding 2308 02:21:55.120 --> 02:21:57.799 use and this just a little bit of this. I mean, 2309 02:21:57.840 --> 02:21:59.760 it goes on. They find other things too, but here 2310 02:21:59.760 --> 02:22:02.639 they are are finding rubies in Greenland. 2311 02:22:03.719 --> 02:22:07.280 With the team back intact, they continue their hunt for rubies. 2312 02:22:14.520 --> 02:22:17.520 It's not long before Josh spot's something they haven't seen 2313 02:22:17.559 --> 02:22:18.799 before in Greenland. 2314 02:22:20.000 --> 02:22:24.319 I see in the wall on the canyon this huge 2315 02:22:24.399 --> 02:22:27.799 area that looks to me like it's a mineralized zone. 2316 02:22:28.280 --> 02:22:30.760 Eric, Okay, here you look at this. 2317 02:22:31.360 --> 02:22:34.680 Look at that as the green's in there, Copper Boh, 2318 02:22:35.159 --> 02:22:40.520 that is beautiful. Now we found a zone that is mineralized. 2319 02:22:40.879 --> 02:22:44.959 It's the correct stone for rubies. It's pretty exciting, definitely 2320 02:22:45.040 --> 02:22:46.120 the first time we've seen it. 2321 02:22:47.399 --> 02:22:50.680 This simple rock could be a turning point for the team. 2322 02:22:51.280 --> 02:22:52.319 They know that this is the. 2323 02:22:52.280 --> 02:22:55.159 Same type of mineral that the priceless four hundred and 2324 02:22:55.200 --> 02:22:57.120 forty car at Katar Ruby was founded. 2325 02:22:58.399 --> 02:23:01.239 So they're hopeful that now is their chance to strike 2326 02:23:01.319 --> 02:23:01.719 it rich. 2327 02:23:02.120 --> 02:23:05.000 And that's a little more al leister for everybody at all. 2328 02:23:04.920 --> 02:23:08.079 On this is the stuff we want right here, Gator, Yeah, 2329 02:23:08.079 --> 02:23:12.079 that's the stuff they want right there. Well, you know 2330 02:23:12.680 --> 02:23:14.600 when I was talking about the history of the military 2331 02:23:14.639 --> 02:23:19.600 base there, you know Germany, Nazi Germany wanted cryolite, which 2332 02:23:19.799 --> 02:23:23.760 was a key thing for aluminum smelting at the time. 2333 02:23:23.879 --> 02:23:25.559 I don't know if it's still a thing or not, 2334 02:23:26.280 --> 02:23:28.360 but the only known source of it at that point 2335 02:23:28.360 --> 02:23:33.000 in time was in Greenland. They have a vast area 2336 02:23:33.959 --> 02:23:35.360 and there's going to be a lot of stuff that 2337 02:23:35.479 --> 02:23:38.000 is up there, and maybe that's why there's so much 2338 02:23:38.239 --> 02:23:42.840 talk about making Canada the fifty first state. This article 2339 02:23:43.000 --> 02:23:45.760 from The Daily Mail, Trump hashes out a plan to 2340 02:23:45.799 --> 02:23:50.200 make Canada the fifty first state. With other Republicans, we 2341 02:23:50.280 --> 02:23:52.760 talked a lot about Canada becoming the fifty first date, 2342 02:23:53.040 --> 02:23:57.000 said Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, a Republican of Oklahoma, told 2343 02:23:57.040 --> 02:24:01.879 reporters after they came out of the meeting, there's absolutely 2344 02:24:01.959 --> 02:24:06.760 no way. Like I said before, most especially with Trump 2345 02:24:06.840 --> 02:24:10.719 as president, most of the people in Canada are liberal. 2346 02:24:10.840 --> 02:24:13.120 They don't like Trump. There's absolutely no way they're going 2347 02:24:13.159 --> 02:24:18.200 to do that. And you know, you can't. You can't 2348 02:24:18.200 --> 02:24:18.559 force that. 2349 02:24:18.600 --> 02:24:18.719 Now. 2350 02:24:18.760 --> 02:24:22.399 He could invade and we have done that before Panama 2351 02:24:22.520 --> 02:24:25.120 and go to war with Panama. He's not going to 2352 02:24:25.159 --> 02:24:28.399 invade Canada, and I don't see any way that they're 2353 02:24:28.440 --> 02:24:32.799 going to entice him. He could, he could militarily invade Panama. 2354 02:24:32.879 --> 02:24:35.879 He could bribe the fifty six thousand people that live 2355 02:24:35.920 --> 02:24:39.879 in Greenland to have a referendum, but there's no way 2356 02:24:39.959 --> 02:24:43.559 that Canada's going to be a part of the United States. 2357 02:24:43.959 --> 02:24:48.239 And of course Doug Ford, who is a premier of 2358 02:24:48.280 --> 02:24:53.479 the Canadian province of Ontario, left wing guy. He says, well, 2359 02:24:53.479 --> 02:24:58.399 how about we buy Alaska. So you think you're going 2360 02:24:58.440 --> 02:25:00.959 to buy Canada, Well, we'll buy a that type of thing. 2361 02:25:01.719 --> 02:25:04.000 Is it is really crazy? What is going back and forth? 2362 02:25:04.000 --> 02:25:09.360 And as I said earlier, you know, the Canadian Conservative 2363 02:25:09.399 --> 02:25:15.319 Party leader Pierre Polyiev said this headline here from Breitbart 2364 02:25:15.840 --> 02:25:21.200 Polyev walks a tightrope to be Canada first and yet 2365 02:25:21.239 --> 02:25:25.479 still not lose Trump. Well, you talk about being boxed 2366 02:25:25.479 --> 02:25:29.159 in when you've got to always please Trump. You can't 2367 02:25:29.200 --> 02:25:34.000 say anything negative about Trump, even if it's true. That's 2368 02:25:34.040 --> 02:25:37.399 not allowed. And as we talked about, a lot of 2369 02:25:37.440 --> 02:25:40.520 people are saying, well, is this Trump pursuing the technocrats 2370 02:25:40.600 --> 02:25:45.440 dreams to create a technique? You know, the region one 2371 02:25:45.600 --> 02:25:48.399 of the ten different regions. Who knows what is going 2372 02:25:48.399 --> 02:25:52.159 on here? Because really they could get any of these 2373 02:25:52.440 --> 02:25:56.600 mineral assets if they wanted to from Greenland. You know, 2374 02:25:56.719 --> 02:26:02.559 they would be open to doing that. And we have 2375 02:26:02.719 --> 02:26:04.799 a military base that is there and have had that 2376 02:26:04.840 --> 02:26:07.200 for quite some time. That hasn't really been a problem. 2377 02:26:08.079 --> 02:26:13.280 So unless you're looking at some kind of a massive 2378 02:26:13.799 --> 02:26:17.600 natural resources exploitation and perhaps that is what they're trying 2379 02:26:17.639 --> 02:26:20.159 to do with Greenland, and maybe that's what they're trying 2380 02:26:20.200 --> 02:26:24.040 to do with all the talk about Canada, is to 2381 02:26:25.000 --> 02:26:28.040 play crazy and hope that people will go along with it. 2382 02:26:28.879 --> 02:26:32.200 Who knows exactly what they're up to. Before our guest 2383 02:26:32.239 --> 02:26:35.760 joins us, though, I wanted to cover this story, which 2384 02:26:35.799 --> 02:26:40.040 I think is an analogy that I've made before. I said, 2385 02:26:40.040 --> 02:26:43.600 you know, we don't allow children to drink alcohol, We 2386 02:26:43.639 --> 02:26:46.479 don't allow children to smoke, or to drive cars, or 2387 02:26:46.520 --> 02:26:50.040 to own firearms, all the rest of this stuff, and 2388 02:26:50.399 --> 02:26:56.719 even tattoos. And a tattoo shop in Arizona tattooed a 2389 02:26:56.840 --> 02:26:59.639 girl who's nine years old, and it got a lot 2390 02:26:59.639 --> 02:27:04.079 of push back on this. Now she wanted a picture 2391 02:27:04.159 --> 02:27:06.200 of Trump on her neck, and he talks about how 2392 02:27:06.239 --> 02:27:09.799 he talked her out of it, talked her parents out 2393 02:27:09.799 --> 02:27:13.079 of it. But as they point out in this article, 2394 02:27:13.840 --> 02:27:19.799 all fifty states have prohibitions of young children getting tattoos. 2395 02:27:19.840 --> 02:27:23.079 You can't get a tattoo under the age of eighteen 2396 02:27:23.959 --> 02:27:29.559 in any state. Some states will allow miners to get 2397 02:27:29.600 --> 02:27:33.879 a tattoo if their parents approve. But when you look 2398 02:27:33.920 --> 02:27:36.719 at this and again it was part of this was 2399 02:27:36.719 --> 02:27:39.239 that she wanted to get a Trump tattoo. So some 2400 02:27:39.280 --> 02:27:41.959 of this pushback is going to be from people who 2401 02:27:42.079 --> 02:27:45.879 are Trump haters and they're angry about that. But a 2402 02:27:45.879 --> 02:27:50.799 lot of people made the case that, you know, why 2403 02:27:50.840 --> 02:27:52.760 would this guy even do it? He said, well, I 2404 02:27:52.840 --> 02:27:55.760 redirected her away from a Trump tattoo, which she might 2405 02:27:56.479 --> 02:27:59.440 very well regret. I said, well, want you do something patriotic, 2406 02:27:59.479 --> 02:28:03.559 So he tattooed an American flag o her. But people 2407 02:28:03.639 --> 02:28:07.120 are rightfully saying that's not something you should be doing 2408 02:28:07.120 --> 02:28:10.239 to a minor, even if the parents are along with that. 2409 02:28:11.040 --> 02:28:14.479 The same thing applies, doesn't it to mutilization and sterilization, 2410 02:28:14.520 --> 02:28:16.680 because those are permanent. A tattoo can be removed. I 2411 02:28:16.680 --> 02:28:20.879 don't see anybody making that comparison. You know, you can 2412 02:28:20.879 --> 02:28:25.040 get a tattoo taken off, but you cannot undo mutilization, sterilization, 2413 02:28:25.280 --> 02:28:28.479 those types of things. She had traveled to Arizona with 2414 02:28:28.520 --> 02:28:31.799 her parents to get a Trump tattoo, but the artist 2415 02:28:31.879 --> 02:28:34.680 who shared a video of him putting the tattoo on 2416 02:28:34.840 --> 02:28:37.760 her said he convinced her to do a more patriotic 2417 02:28:37.799 --> 02:28:40.280 tattoo in an American flag. It's told her in a year. 2418 02:28:40.920 --> 02:28:43.479 If she still wants Trump, then to get it, but 2419 02:28:43.600 --> 02:28:46.000 to think about it, said the artist. She came back 2420 02:28:46.040 --> 02:28:49.680 one year later she said, I'm ten, now, can you 2421 02:28:50.559 --> 02:28:54.079 do this? He said. She also changed her mind on 2422 02:28:54.120 --> 02:28:56.840 the Trump portrait one year later. He said he even 2423 02:28:56.879 --> 02:28:59.879 tried to scare her parents away by telling them that 2424 02:29:00.079 --> 02:29:03.120 this tattoo, which you would normally charge eighty dollars for, 2425 02:29:03.920 --> 02:29:07.280 he said, it'll be five hundred dollars. That didn't scare 2426 02:29:07.360 --> 02:29:09.959 them away. The parents were okay with that, he said. 2427 02:29:10.000 --> 02:29:13.719 They jumped on the price instead, He said, so I tried, 2428 02:29:14.799 --> 02:29:16.719 and he puts it up on social media. Now people 2429 02:29:16.799 --> 02:29:19.239 jump in and said the story is sparked debate online 2430 02:29:19.239 --> 02:29:22.760 about where the children should be tattooed and if the 2431 02:29:22.879 --> 02:29:27.200 artist should decline their request even if it's not illegal, 2432 02:29:27.319 --> 02:29:30.440 and even if the parents want it now, doesn't that 2433 02:29:30.520 --> 02:29:35.319 apply to the trendsgender nonsense? He said, These are the 2434 02:29:35.319 --> 02:29:38.559 same people crying over giving puberty blockers to kids. And 2435 02:29:38.600 --> 02:29:43.000 I say no to both of them, said one person, 2436 02:29:43.159 --> 02:29:47.799 and I agree. Another person says, as an artist, be 2437 02:29:47.879 --> 02:29:51.120 the bigger person and don't do this to a nine 2438 02:29:51.200 --> 02:29:55.319 year old and then call child services about these parents 2439 02:29:57.000 --> 02:30:00.120 I would certainly say that's the appropriate response, absolutely the 2440 02:30:00.239 --> 02:30:06.239 response over the gender mutilation and sterilization. Instead of the 2441 02:30:06.280 --> 02:30:08.719 government taking the side of these people. That would be 2442 02:30:08.760 --> 02:30:13.280 one place where there would be a legitimate investigation by 2443 02:30:13.280 --> 02:30:17.159 the government. Although Child Protective Services is so abusive and 2444 02:30:17.360 --> 02:30:20.440 involved in trafficking, I would be reluctant to call them 2445 02:30:20.840 --> 02:30:23.200 over anything, quite frankly, but if it's going to be 2446 02:30:23.239 --> 02:30:25.799 over anything, not going to be over some kind of 2447 02:30:26.040 --> 02:30:31.239 sexual mutilation. The Alliance of Professional Tattooists jumped in on 2448 02:30:31.280 --> 02:30:32.680 this as well. They said, if you see a ten 2449 02:30:32.760 --> 02:30:35.799 year old child with a professional tattoo and they say 2450 02:30:35.799 --> 02:30:38.760 that they got it at a tattoo shop, that degrades 2451 02:30:38.840 --> 02:30:42.120 all of us who are tattoo artists. So we're going 2452 02:30:42.159 --> 02:30:43.719 to leave it at that, and we're going to talk 2453 02:30:44.239 --> 02:30:49.040 about what's going on in climate in Washington. We're going 2454 02:30:49.079 --> 02:30:52.319 to take a Washington state I should say, we know 2455 02:30:52.399 --> 02:30:55.319 what's going on in Washington, d C. They're all about 2456 02:30:55.319 --> 02:30:57.280 all this stuff. We're going to take a quick break, 2457 02:30:57.959 --> 02:31:01.079 come back with Todd Myers, who's the vice president for 2458 02:31:01.159 --> 02:31:05.120 research at the Washington Policy Center. So stay with us. 2459 02:31:05.200 --> 02:32:25.920 We'll be right back analyzing the globalist Next move and 2460 02:32:26.120 --> 02:32:31.319 now the Deep and Nut Show. Welcome back to joining 2461 02:32:31.399 --> 02:32:33.680 us now is Todd Myers. We've talked to Todd before. 2462 02:32:33.719 --> 02:32:39.879 He's with a think tank policy institute in Washington State. 2463 02:32:39.959 --> 02:32:43.680 He's vice president for research at the Washington Policy Center 2464 02:32:44.239 --> 02:32:46.920 and this is in Washington State. Thank you for joining us, sir. 2465 02:32:47.920 --> 02:32:49.200 Yeah, it's always nice at job with you. 2466 02:32:50.159 --> 02:32:52.200 Great to have you on. I saw your press release 2467 02:32:52.440 --> 02:32:56.840 about what is happening in Washington State with CO two emissions. 2468 02:32:57.200 --> 02:32:59.680 Tell us a little bit about what is happening there 2469 02:33:00.120 --> 02:33:04.280 in terms of their emissions actually going up. And I 2470 02:33:04.559 --> 02:33:07.319 don't think that everything is melting there in Washington yet, is. 2471 02:33:07.280 --> 02:33:11.159 It what's going outside my window right now? 2472 02:33:11.239 --> 02:33:15.120 So even though even though the CO two emissions went up, 2473 02:33:15.159 --> 02:33:19.399 so tell us what's happening in Washington with Washington State 2474 02:33:19.479 --> 02:33:23.680 with their measuring of emissions, they've gone up over a 2475 02:33:24.040 --> 02:33:26.559 ten year period, I guess a nine year period twenty 2476 02:33:26.639 --> 02:33:28.719 twelve to twenty twenty one. 2477 02:33:29.440 --> 02:33:32.200 So for those not in Washington State are probably wondering, 2478 02:33:32.239 --> 02:33:35.120 why do I care about Washington State CO two emissions? 2479 02:33:35.120 --> 02:33:37.079 And the answer is is. 2480 02:33:37.040 --> 02:33:40.600 That Washington in the West Coast has seen itself as 2481 02:33:40.639 --> 02:33:43.159 a leader on climate change, you know, say, oh, here 2482 02:33:43.239 --> 02:33:47.000 are the policies that we need to implement to reduce 2483 02:33:47.120 --> 02:33:50.319 the risk from CO two emissions and climate change. Our governor, 2484 02:33:50.399 --> 02:33:56.079 Governor Insley, actually ran for president, albeit briefly, in twenty nineteen, 2485 02:33:56.399 --> 02:33:59.479 on the platform of addressing climate change. And his whole 2486 02:33:59.559 --> 02:34:02.319 argument was that he was going to bring the policies 2487 02:34:02.319 --> 02:34:05.000 that we've had in Washington State to the federal level 2488 02:34:05.000 --> 02:34:06.239 to fight climate change. 2489 02:34:06.239 --> 02:34:09.920 And we constantly call ourselves a leader so across the country. 2490 02:34:10.000 --> 02:34:12.559 These are the kinds of policies that are in Washington 2491 02:34:12.559 --> 02:34:16.200 State that you know, many particularly on the left, want 2492 02:34:16.239 --> 02:34:18.879 to implement. And what is notable is is that they 2493 02:34:18.920 --> 02:34:22.120 simply have failed to achieve their goal. A lot of 2494 02:34:22.120 --> 02:34:25.280 focuses on, you know, the cost of the CO two. 2495 02:34:25.239 --> 02:34:28.360 Policies and climate change and things like that, but the 2496 02:34:28.360 --> 02:34:29.760 simple fact is they don't work. 2497 02:34:30.120 --> 02:34:34.159 And so Washington State this week released CO two data 2498 02:34:34.200 --> 02:34:37.399 through twenty twenty one. And so when you look at 2499 02:34:37.559 --> 02:34:40.479 twenty twelve, which was just before Governor Ansley took office, 2500 02:34:40.520 --> 02:34:43.120 through twenty twenty one, the ninth year of his administration, 2501 02:34:43.760 --> 02:34:47.520 CO two emissions actually increased five percent over that period 2502 02:34:47.559 --> 02:34:51.360 of time and that's after COVID, So you know, considering 2503 02:34:51.399 --> 02:34:53.440 that even COVID couldn't have. 2504 02:34:53.559 --> 02:34:56.120 Caused the emissions to go down, it's pretty remarkable. 2505 02:34:56.520 --> 02:34:58.840 During at that same time, the United States CO two 2506 02:34:58.879 --> 02:35:02.520 emissions went down. And so the message for people who 2507 02:35:02.639 --> 02:35:06.600 aren't in Washington State is these policies simply don't work. 2508 02:35:06.719 --> 02:35:08.879 And if you care about CO two. 2509 02:35:08.799 --> 02:35:11.159 Emissions, if you care about the risk from climate change, 2510 02:35:11.639 --> 02:35:14.319 don't do what Washington State has done. Look for more 2511 02:35:14.399 --> 02:35:18.360 innovative ways that put people, not politicians in charge. 2512 02:35:18.559 --> 02:35:20.319 Yeah, and when we look at all this stuff in 2513 02:35:20.399 --> 02:35:22.520 terms of CO two, we got the Paris Climate Accord, 2514 02:35:22.600 --> 02:35:26.399 which is hanging over everybody's head. China is putting in 2515 02:35:26.879 --> 02:35:31.399 two power plants cold power plants a week, and supposedly 2516 02:35:31.440 --> 02:35:35.520 it's not a problem the stuff comes from China, But 2517 02:35:35.799 --> 02:35:38.719 the same as CO two if it's emitted in the 2518 02:35:38.799 --> 02:35:40.879 United States or in Europe or other places like that, 2519 02:35:41.000 --> 02:35:43.040 or it's going to kill us all that to me, 2520 02:35:43.159 --> 02:35:46.319 that is the key thing about this. And it's kind 2521 02:35:46.360 --> 02:35:48.360 of interesting that even in some of the places where 2522 02:35:48.399 --> 02:35:53.399 they have scrupulously tried to reduce, CO two has actually 2523 02:35:53.440 --> 02:35:56.840 gone up and it hasn't been a catastrophe either as 2524 02:35:56.920 --> 02:35:59.040 it yeah, And. 2525 02:35:58.959 --> 02:36:02.719 I think that the challenges is that the exaggeration and 2526 02:36:02.840 --> 02:36:08.319 sort of dishonesty has made it so that people simply 2527 02:36:08.440 --> 02:36:11.440 write off climate change as an issue. 2528 02:36:11.959 --> 02:36:14.520 You know, there have been so much exaggeration about the. 2529 02:36:14.479 --> 02:36:17.840 Impact, about the harm and that sort of thing that 2530 02:36:17.879 --> 02:36:20.799 people get very tired of it. We do know that 2531 02:36:21.000 --> 02:36:23.200 CO two does trap heat to some extent and there 2532 02:36:23.239 --> 02:36:26.200 is some risk, but the problem is the exaggeration makes 2533 02:36:26.239 --> 02:36:28.680 people to sort of roll their eyes. And then when 2534 02:36:28.719 --> 02:36:33.520 you see the policies that cost a lot, raise energy prices, 2535 02:36:34.079 --> 02:36:37.639 make things more expensive, and then don't work, the natural 2536 02:36:37.680 --> 02:36:40.239 reaction of people is to say, this whole thing is 2537 02:36:40.239 --> 02:36:44.200 a farce, This whole thing is about ideology, and you know, 2538 02:36:44.319 --> 02:36:46.840 it's hard to disagree in a lot of cases because 2539 02:36:47.520 --> 02:36:49.840 you know, even Al Gore, when he won the Nobel 2540 02:36:49.920 --> 02:36:53.200 Prize for his work on climate change, said that climate 2541 02:36:53.280 --> 02:36:55.799 change is an excuse to do things we should be 2542 02:36:55.920 --> 02:36:58.959 doing anyway. Right, So he said, you know, it's a 2543 02:36:58.959 --> 02:37:03.000 good way to to implement our ideology, and that's what 2544 02:37:03.079 --> 02:37:04.280 you see in Washington State. 2545 02:37:04.719 --> 02:37:07.239 But I think that for those. 2546 02:37:07.079 --> 02:37:09.959 On the center right, like myself, we do need to 2547 02:37:09.959 --> 02:37:13.280 recognize that there are things that we're doing to impact 2548 02:37:13.760 --> 02:37:16.559 ecosystems to wildlife and things like that. 2549 02:37:16.840 --> 02:37:18.479 And if you look, and what I always. 2550 02:37:18.159 --> 02:37:20.520 Point out to people is look at a map, look 2551 02:37:20.559 --> 02:37:24.000 at where nature is, and look at where conservative voters are. 2552 02:37:24.319 --> 02:37:27.959 They are overlapped. Conservatives live surrounded. 2553 02:37:27.399 --> 02:37:29.239 By the environment because they love it and they want 2554 02:37:29.239 --> 02:37:32.079 to be good stewards. But what the failure of Washington 2555 02:37:32.120 --> 02:37:36.520 State shows is that top down political policies fail, and 2556 02:37:36.639 --> 02:37:40.399 bottom up efforts to save energy, to save money too, 2557 02:37:40.920 --> 02:37:43.840 are much better way to be good stewards of the planet. 2558 02:37:43.959 --> 02:37:47.000 Oh yeah, absolutely. I talked to this week about the 2559 02:37:47.000 --> 02:37:49.719 classic case at the turn of the century. We're in 2560 02:37:49.760 --> 02:37:52.440 big cities, like in New York or Seattle or London, 2561 02:37:52.799 --> 02:37:55.760 they had so much horse manure and horse urine that 2562 02:37:55.799 --> 02:37:58.000 were accumulating in the streets, and it's like, and what 2563 02:37:58.079 --> 02:38:02.000 save that? Was it a government does program that dictated 2564 02:38:02.040 --> 02:38:04.399 solutions to people or was it a free market where 2565 02:38:04.399 --> 02:38:06.440 people got to try things? And of course you're talking 2566 02:38:06.520 --> 02:38:10.760 about this from the standpoint of Washington State, and you said, 2567 02:38:10.760 --> 02:38:12.639 how does this affect everybody else? You know, it's the 2568 02:38:12.680 --> 02:38:16.000 federalism that we have the fact that different states can 2569 02:38:16.000 --> 02:38:17.879 try different things, and the beauty of that is that 2570 02:38:17.920 --> 02:38:20.040 we can see what works. But the beauty of it 2571 02:38:20.120 --> 02:38:22.639 is we can see what also see what does not work. 2572 02:38:23.159 --> 02:38:26.959 And I guess watching the state has falls into the 2573 02:38:27.040 --> 02:38:28.959 latter category. Tell us a little bit about some of 2574 02:38:28.959 --> 02:38:33.040 these regulations. What have they done in Washington State, that 2575 02:38:33.440 --> 02:38:35.959 is in terms of, you know, forcing people to do 2576 02:38:36.000 --> 02:38:41.200 this or that that hasn't really even accomplished their metric 2577 02:38:41.319 --> 02:38:44.040 by their own paradigm. What kind of regulations have you 2578 02:38:44.079 --> 02:38:46.360 been seeing there in Washington State over this ten year period. 2579 02:38:47.479 --> 02:38:49.639 Well, there's a few things, and I'll give you two examples. 2580 02:38:49.639 --> 02:38:52.920 One, we have lots of building regulations that force buildings 2581 02:38:52.959 --> 02:38:57.840 to be where called green buildings. In fact, years ago 2582 02:38:58.120 --> 02:39:01.719 we put it, we implemented a law required all school 2583 02:39:01.719 --> 02:39:04.639 buildings to meet what are called green building standards. 2584 02:39:05.000 --> 02:39:06.399 And so I started looking. 2585 02:39:06.159 --> 02:39:08.719 At these green buildings and these green schools to see 2586 02:39:08.719 --> 02:39:11.079 if they were in fact saving money. And what I 2587 02:39:11.159 --> 02:39:15.200 found was is that green schools that meet these standards 2588 02:39:15.680 --> 02:39:19.159 actually used more energy per square foot than the non 2589 02:39:19.239 --> 02:39:23.399 green schools in those same school districts for a variety 2590 02:39:23.399 --> 02:39:27.719 of reasons. And you see this with buildings there has 2591 02:39:27.719 --> 02:39:32.760 been research that in Seattle green buildings actually do worse 2592 02:39:33.079 --> 02:39:35.719 than almost anywhere else. So one of the things was 2593 02:39:35.799 --> 02:39:39.600 is that these very restrictive building standards about what you 2594 02:39:39.639 --> 02:39:43.280 had to build. Seattle and King County, where Seattle is 2595 02:39:43.280 --> 02:39:45.600 is one of the most expensive places to live in 2596 02:39:45.600 --> 02:39:46.159 the United States. 2597 02:39:46.239 --> 02:39:47.479 We have a housing shortage, we. 2598 02:39:47.440 --> 02:39:50.959 Have very high prices, and it's because we've added a 2599 02:39:50.959 --> 02:39:54.479 lot of these regulations, so called green regulations, that have. 2600 02:39:54.600 --> 02:39:57.680 Ended up failing. Let me give you one more example. 2601 02:39:58.680 --> 02:40:01.360 The number one source of two emissions in Washington State 2602 02:40:01.479 --> 02:40:05.239 is transportation. So the governor and others have said, oh, well, 2603 02:40:05.239 --> 02:40:07.280 what we need to do is to build a lot 2604 02:40:07.319 --> 02:40:12.680 of electric vehicle charging stations, but that many of those 2605 02:40:12.760 --> 02:40:18.079 charging stations sit unused because where people tend to charge up. 2606 02:40:17.959 --> 02:40:20.399 Is at home, and if they are out. 2607 02:40:20.200 --> 02:40:22.399 And they see a charging station, they will plug in, 2608 02:40:22.600 --> 02:40:27.040 but they're not very useful in terms of actually keeping 2609 02:40:27.079 --> 02:40:30.200 your vehicle charged. And you know, if you're in the store, 2610 02:40:30.280 --> 02:40:32.440 you don't get much of a charge while you're there. 2611 02:40:32.479 --> 02:40:33.959 So it doesn't help. 2612 02:40:34.000 --> 02:40:38.159 It doesn't do much to actually help reduce CO two 2613 02:40:38.159 --> 02:40:41.559 emissions or help you know, people who have electric vehicles 2614 02:40:41.680 --> 02:40:44.200 and the result is we spend millions, tens of millions 2615 02:40:44.239 --> 02:40:47.719 of dollars on you know, electric vehicle charging stations that 2616 02:40:47.799 --> 02:40:48.799 sit there and do nothing. 2617 02:40:49.600 --> 02:40:51.040 That's just the waste of money. 2618 02:40:51.239 --> 02:40:53.719 And so people you know, focus on that as a 2619 02:40:53.719 --> 02:40:56.680 waste of tax payer dollars, which it certainly is, but 2620 02:40:56.719 --> 02:40:59.280 it's also a waste of opportunity to do good things 2621 02:40:59.319 --> 02:41:01.520 for the planet. There are lots of projects that we 2622 02:41:01.559 --> 02:41:05.079 actually could do to you know, make it energy more efficient. 2623 02:41:05.440 --> 02:41:07.840 We're finding, you know, I used to work with salmon recovery. 2624 02:41:07.840 --> 02:41:10.239 We have very low populations of salmon. There's things we 2625 02:41:10.239 --> 02:41:12.959 can do there. So if you waste money on useless 2626 02:41:13.040 --> 02:41:16.719 EV charging stations rather than doing projects that help salmon, 2627 02:41:17.479 --> 02:41:21.239 you are harming the environment by misallocating resources in addition 2628 02:41:21.319 --> 02:41:22.479 to wasting tax parial. 2629 02:41:22.959 --> 02:41:24.600 And of course, what we're seeing with all this stuff 2630 02:41:24.680 --> 02:41:26.760 is that they will come up with one solution, like 2631 02:41:26.799 --> 02:41:31.440 an electric battery car, right, and they will you know not, 2632 02:41:32.200 --> 02:41:36.399 and they will subsidize that heavily. They will shut down 2633 02:41:36.440 --> 02:41:39.079 any other competition. And even if it is something like 2634 02:41:39.239 --> 02:41:42.319 another form of an electric car, let's say, a fuel 2635 02:41:42.360 --> 02:41:45.079 cell car or a hydrogen car. Even if it's something 2636 02:41:45.120 --> 02:41:47.600 that is could also be zero mission. No, no, no, we've 2637 02:41:47.600 --> 02:41:49.760 got this one solution and you're going to do that. 2638 02:41:49.760 --> 02:41:52.319 That's something that we see from the government all the time. 2639 02:41:52.360 --> 02:41:54.879 But I want to step back and when we talk 2640 02:41:54.920 --> 02:41:57.680 about the schools and how the ones that were green 2641 02:41:57.719 --> 02:41:59.879 schools and they gave them regulations about how they want 2642 02:41:59.879 --> 02:42:02.879 to build them and that type of thing, what was 2643 02:42:02.920 --> 02:42:05.479 it that caused what types of things were they have 2644 02:42:05.559 --> 02:42:08.399 in these schools? Do that caused them to use more 2645 02:42:08.520 --> 02:42:12.360 energy than other schools that didn't follow this this green 2646 02:42:12.440 --> 02:42:13.840 building regulation scheme. 2647 02:42:14.920 --> 02:42:16.920 Yeah, people are always when I mentioned that, they're always 2648 02:42:16.920 --> 02:42:19.200 flabbergasted that you could make a green building and make 2649 02:42:19.239 --> 02:42:20.159 it actually worse. 2650 02:42:19.959 --> 02:42:22.479 Than the existing buildings exactly several things that they did. 2651 02:42:23.559 --> 02:42:26.559 One is I never understood this, but they repeated it 2652 02:42:26.600 --> 02:42:29.159 again and again, which is they said, well, we're going 2653 02:42:29.200 --> 02:42:32.200 to have big windows because big windows allow in more light, 2654 02:42:32.600 --> 02:42:35.559 and therefore you have you need fewer lighting. 2655 02:42:35.239 --> 02:42:37.040 Fixtures than that will save electricity. 2656 02:42:37.520 --> 02:42:42.079 Well, led light bulbs are extremely efficient, very low energy, 2657 02:42:42.120 --> 02:42:43.920 put out a lot of light, and so there's just 2658 02:42:44.000 --> 02:42:47.959 not very much energy to be saved by reducing that 2659 02:42:48.079 --> 02:42:51.840 amount of light. However, windows are not very efficient. Right, 2660 02:42:51.879 --> 02:42:54.000 they let a lot of heat in. They allowed a 2661 02:42:54.040 --> 02:42:56.120 lot of you know cold in as well, right when 2662 02:42:56.239 --> 02:42:58.959 during the summer it's hot or in the winter it's cold, 2663 02:42:59.079 --> 02:43:01.760 and so you have to constantly run the HVAC to 2664 02:43:01.879 --> 02:43:04.719 keep that room the normal temperature. 2665 02:43:05.159 --> 02:43:07.639 The other thing, and that more than offsets any you know, 2666 02:43:07.760 --> 02:43:08.600 energy savings. 2667 02:43:08.360 --> 02:43:09.000 You get from one. 2668 02:43:09.680 --> 02:43:11.600 The other thing that they do is they say, well, 2669 02:43:11.600 --> 02:43:14.920 we want clean air, we want fresh air. So what 2670 02:43:14.959 --> 02:43:18.079 they do is they have requirements to have to recirculate 2671 02:43:18.120 --> 02:43:20.159 the air to pull the old air out, put a 2672 02:43:20.159 --> 02:43:22.120 new area. And what you got to do, You've got 2673 02:43:22.120 --> 02:43:24.600 to heat that, you've got to cool that, whatever. And 2674 02:43:24.600 --> 02:43:27.120 so they're constantly running the hvacs. And so I talked 2675 02:43:27.159 --> 02:43:30.319 with several facilities directors, not just in Washington State but 2676 02:43:30.360 --> 02:43:32.920 across the country where these were, and they just said, 2677 02:43:33.959 --> 02:43:36.040 in order to build a green school, we would actually 2678 02:43:36.040 --> 02:43:39.520 have to increase the size of the HVAC system to 2679 02:43:39.719 --> 02:43:41.559 meet these new requirements. 2680 02:43:41.959 --> 02:43:43.760 But I want to address your point about the one 2681 02:43:43.799 --> 02:43:44.639 size fits all. 2682 02:43:45.239 --> 02:43:48.200 That's the fundamental problem with government programs. 2683 02:43:48.280 --> 02:43:51.000 Right, you can say the fundamental a fundamental. 2684 02:43:50.440 --> 02:43:53.360 Problem, which is is that there is one size and 2685 02:43:53.399 --> 02:43:56.200 if it doesn't work, then you've lost time. We need 2686 02:43:56.239 --> 02:43:59.040 a diversity of efforts. So, you know, I would be 2687 02:43:59.079 --> 02:44:01.479 a horrible book author if I didn't mention my book 2688 02:44:01.520 --> 02:44:05.239 Time to Think Small, which focuses on exactly this issue, 2689 02:44:05.239 --> 02:44:09.000 which is lots of small efforts and a diversity of 2690 02:44:09.079 --> 02:44:12.879 efforts are better ways to find not only solutions that work, 2691 02:44:12.959 --> 02:44:16.719 but solutions that fit people's lives. Rather than have government 2692 02:44:16.840 --> 02:44:20.559 impose restrictions on people that make their lives more difficult. 2693 02:44:21.200 --> 02:44:24.479 A diversity of solutions, especially with technology, allows them to 2694 02:44:24.559 --> 02:44:28.399 find ways to save energy, save money, do things that 2695 02:44:28.479 --> 02:44:32.000 fit their lifestyle, make their life better while also making 2696 02:44:32.000 --> 02:44:34.399 the planet better. And so I think that's the real 2697 02:44:34.520 --> 02:44:36.040 key is is that. 2698 02:44:36.000 --> 02:44:37.399 We need a diversity of things. 2699 02:44:38.040 --> 02:44:40.520 What I'm hoping is is that, you know, during the 2700 02:44:40.600 --> 02:44:44.040 upcoming Trump administration, rather than just simply saying all of 2701 02:44:44.040 --> 02:44:47.840 these environmental you know, this focus is ridiculous, to say 2702 02:44:48.120 --> 02:44:51.840 we need a new approach, We need to diversified approach, federalism, 2703 02:44:52.239 --> 02:44:56.319 local power rather than top down government power, to show 2704 02:44:56.600 --> 02:44:59.959 that this way works better than the one size fit. 2705 02:45:01.040 --> 02:45:04.000 Oh yeah, absolutely, when we're talking about federalism and the 2706 02:45:04.000 --> 02:45:05.559 fact that you know, we can see what works and 2707 02:45:05.559 --> 02:45:08.879 what doesn't work based on different states and everything. And unfortunately, 2708 02:45:08.879 --> 02:45:13.399 there's this idea that is taken hold in America across 2709 02:45:13.399 --> 02:45:15.680 a political spectrum. Doesn't seem to me no matter whether 2710 02:45:15.760 --> 02:45:18.520 people on the left or the right, Republican Democrat, everybody 2711 02:45:18.559 --> 02:45:20.920 thinks that a solution needs to come from Washington. And 2712 02:45:20.920 --> 02:45:22.440 one of the results of that is that we get 2713 02:45:22.479 --> 02:45:24.559 this one size fits all. We're going to have a 2714 02:45:24.719 --> 02:45:28.479 dictated solution, and that's the way this is going to work. 2715 02:45:28.520 --> 02:45:30.479 And we need to be able to experiment to find 2716 02:45:30.479 --> 02:45:33.920 out what works and what doesn't work. That's the key thing. 2717 02:45:34.520 --> 02:45:34.719 You know. 2718 02:45:35.159 --> 02:45:37.200 It's kind of interesting, and you address this in your 2719 02:45:37.200 --> 02:45:40.399 press release. The fact that the most recent data that 2720 02:45:40.440 --> 02:45:43.520 they just released is twenty twenty one. Why is that 2721 02:45:44.440 --> 02:45:46.239 If this is something that is such a high priority 2722 02:45:46.280 --> 02:45:49.520 for them, why aren't they Maybe it's because it's not working. 2723 02:45:49.920 --> 02:45:52.200 They don't want people took at Why are they three 2724 02:45:52.280 --> 02:45:53.600 years behind and all this stuff? 2725 02:45:54.600 --> 02:45:58.000 So another problem with I mean more evidence this is 2726 02:45:58.280 --> 02:46:01.639 I think more evidence that bureaucracy is not up to 2727 02:46:01.680 --> 02:46:05.680 the task, certainly of addressing environmental issues as well as 2728 02:46:05.719 --> 02:46:08.360 other issues. And the fact that here we are in 2729 02:46:08.399 --> 02:46:10.840 twenty twenty five, and the most recent data we have 2730 02:46:10.959 --> 02:46:13.559 for Washington State C two missions is twenty twenty one. 2731 02:46:14.079 --> 02:46:17.479 Interestingly, that is actually in violation of state law. State 2732 02:46:17.559 --> 02:46:18.520 law says that. 2733 02:46:18.440 --> 02:46:21.200 By the end of even numbered years, like twenty twenty four, 2734 02:46:21.719 --> 02:46:25.000 they are to release emissions data for the preceding two years, 2735 02:46:25.000 --> 02:46:27.840 which would have been twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three. 2736 02:46:28.360 --> 02:46:31.239 So I pointed this out and said that the state 2737 02:46:31.319 --> 02:46:34.280 is actually in violation of its own law and being 2738 02:46:34.319 --> 02:46:35.440 two years behind. 2739 02:46:35.799 --> 02:46:38.479 And the problem with that is that twenty twenty one data. 2740 02:46:38.360 --> 02:46:40.799 Is useless if you are a policy maker and trying 2741 02:46:40.799 --> 02:46:43.159 to figure out what works and what doesn't, because you 2742 02:46:43.239 --> 02:46:45.840 can say, oh, and what they do say is, oh, yes, 2743 02:46:45.920 --> 02:46:48.799 we didn't meet those targets, but the policies we adopted 2744 02:46:49.000 --> 02:46:50.639 after that are working. 2745 02:46:50.840 --> 02:46:50.920 Well. 2746 02:46:50.959 --> 02:46:52.520 It's like, well, how do you know, you don't have 2747 02:46:52.600 --> 02:46:57.200 any data, You're just making it up. And so when 2748 02:46:57.200 --> 02:46:58.920 I pointed this out that they were in violation of 2749 02:46:58.920 --> 02:47:02.239 their law of the governor's press secretary sent out a 2750 02:47:02.280 --> 02:47:05.840 snarky email saying, you know what Todd doesn't understand is 2751 02:47:05.920 --> 02:47:10.239 how difficult it is to gather this information. Well, exactly, 2752 02:47:10.760 --> 02:47:14.760 the government doesn't have the capacity to get the information 2753 02:47:14.760 --> 02:47:17.440 and to do the job in a way that will work. 2754 02:47:17.680 --> 02:47:19.959 That's what they are admitting is it's like, look, we 2755 02:47:20.000 --> 02:47:23.280 can't do this. The other irony is is that we 2756 02:47:23.440 --> 02:47:28.639 actually have very onerous restrictions in Washington State about electric vehicles. 2757 02:47:29.799 --> 02:47:33.799 You can't basically sell a recreational vehicle or a semi 2758 02:47:33.879 --> 02:47:38.120 in Washington State because there aren't enough electric vehicles to 2759 02:47:38.159 --> 02:47:40.079 sell because you have to sell a certain percentage of that. 2760 02:47:40.120 --> 02:47:43.120 So we stopped. So the argument has been to the 2761 02:47:43.159 --> 02:47:46.360 same agency who put these numbers out, look, we would 2762 02:47:46.440 --> 02:47:47.000 like to comply. 2763 02:47:47.239 --> 02:47:47.760 We can't. 2764 02:47:47.840 --> 02:47:51.319 It's physically not possible to comply. And the response to 2765 02:47:51.360 --> 02:47:54.680 the agency is sorry, that's the law. So you know, 2766 02:47:54.840 --> 02:47:57.680 when it's other people, it's the law that you have 2767 02:47:57.719 --> 02:48:00.319 to follow. When it's them, they whine about the fact 2768 02:48:00.360 --> 02:48:01.879 that it's not possible. 2769 02:48:01.440 --> 02:48:03.680 For them to actually comply with the law. 2770 02:48:03.719 --> 02:48:06.440 And I think that just shows you that, you know, 2771 02:48:06.559 --> 02:48:11.959 how incapable bureaucracy is of addressing these serious challenges, but 2772 02:48:12.159 --> 02:48:16.639 also how an image, their own image is more important 2773 02:48:16.680 --> 02:48:20.040 than actually reducing CO two emissions. As much as they 2774 02:48:20.040 --> 02:48:22.879 talk about it's an existential crisis, when the choice is 2775 02:48:22.920 --> 02:48:25.959 between admitting failure and saying yes, we need to do better, 2776 02:48:26.399 --> 02:48:27.520 or making excuses. 2777 02:48:27.639 --> 02:48:29.760 They make excuses to say their own image. 2778 02:48:30.319 --> 02:48:31.920 And that's something that we see all the time. You know. 2779 02:48:32.000 --> 02:48:34.319 I talk about the fact that you know, when you 2780 02:48:34.360 --> 02:48:38.600 look at let's say a command control economies, socialism, you know, 2781 02:48:38.639 --> 02:48:41.639 look at East Germany versus West Germany, or North Korea 2782 02:48:41.719 --> 02:48:44.280 versus South Korea. Why is it that they don't have 2783 02:48:44.319 --> 02:48:46.920 any goods in the story. So they don't really because 2784 02:48:46.920 --> 02:48:49.440 they don't have a market system. Even if you had 2785 02:48:49.479 --> 02:48:52.040 the smartest people in control, and we know that's not 2786 02:48:52.120 --> 02:48:54.799 what happens. Even if you had the smartest people in control, 2787 02:48:54.840 --> 02:48:57.719 they don't have sufficient information to be able to make 2788 02:48:57.799 --> 02:49:00.760 decisions about what is going to work the best. That's 2789 02:49:00.760 --> 02:49:03.200 what a marketplace does. And so as you point out, 2790 02:49:03.239 --> 02:49:07.719 they're making this confession that yeah, it's not possible for 2791 02:49:07.760 --> 02:49:10.200 us to get all this information together. It's not possible 2792 02:49:10.200 --> 02:49:12.360 for them to get enough information together to make an 2793 02:49:12.360 --> 02:49:17.319 intelligent decision. That's what the whole free market is about, everybody. 2794 02:49:17.319 --> 02:49:19.760 And that's what your book is about as well, you know, 2795 02:49:19.799 --> 02:49:23.959 thinking getting small and pulling back instead of having central 2796 02:49:24.000 --> 02:49:28.479 planning and dictates and mandates and vans that are being 2797 02:49:28.520 --> 02:49:30.639 put on all kinds of things. And I imagine you 2798 02:49:30.680 --> 02:49:32.920 probably have that as well. I mean, we're looking at 2799 02:49:33.280 --> 02:49:37.600 Biden going out the door banning hot water heaters and 2800 02:49:37.639 --> 02:49:39.319 other things like that. I'm sure you guys were way 2801 02:49:39.319 --> 02:49:42.239 ahead of that right at state level. Yes. 2802 02:49:42.360 --> 02:49:46.879 In fact, we just in Washington State, the state tried 2803 02:49:46.920 --> 02:49:50.120 to ban natural gas hookups, not just the heaters, not 2804 02:49:50.239 --> 02:49:52.680 just the stoves or anything like that, but actually running 2805 02:49:52.760 --> 02:49:54.319 natural gas to new homes. 2806 02:49:54.319 --> 02:49:55.239 They tried to ban it. 2807 02:49:55.520 --> 02:49:58.760 The voters overturned that and lend this last election because 2808 02:49:58.760 --> 02:50:02.920 they recog it was so excuse me, extreme. 2809 02:50:03.639 --> 02:50:05.559 Yeah, And we're seeing that in the UK as well. 2810 02:50:05.600 --> 02:50:07.840 You know, they've done the same thing there. They want 2811 02:50:07.879 --> 02:50:11.680 to ban natural gas and stuff. And you know, heat 2812 02:50:11.719 --> 02:50:14.120 pump in a really cold climate like you've got in 2813 02:50:14.280 --> 02:50:17.000 Washington State, only they've got in the UK heat pumps 2814 02:50:17.040 --> 02:50:19.719 just don't make it handle it very well during the 2815 02:50:19.719 --> 02:50:22.479 winter and so but they don't care, and they want 2816 02:50:22.520 --> 02:50:25.000 to In the UK, they even want to remove the 2817 02:50:25.040 --> 02:50:28.879 existing infrastructure. I mean, they want to rewild is one 2818 02:50:28.879 --> 02:50:30.799 of the terms that they used. They want to rewild 2819 02:50:32.040 --> 02:50:34.079 the infrastructure that's been built. In other words, you know, 2820 02:50:34.200 --> 02:50:38.280 just just take everything back down to nothing, that's what 2821 02:50:38.319 --> 02:50:39.200 you're saying everywhere. 2822 02:50:39.360 --> 02:50:42.040 Yeah, well, in fact, you mentioned heat pumps. So I 2823 02:50:42.120 --> 02:50:44.680 live in the mountains and we have a heat pump. Well, 2824 02:50:44.719 --> 02:50:48.680 last January it was negative ten where I was. Fortunately, 2825 02:50:49.159 --> 02:50:51.239 I have a propane backup, and so I have a 2826 02:50:51.280 --> 02:50:53.959 propane tank that when it gets that low that we 2827 02:50:54.000 --> 02:50:56.399 can heat our house. Because the heat pump, when it 2828 02:50:56.440 --> 02:51:00.000 gets you know, in the teens and certainly negative temperatures, 2829 02:51:00.600 --> 02:51:03.920 it doesn't work. I also have a smart thermostatum. My 2830 02:51:03.959 --> 02:51:05.920 smart thermostat would come up and say we think that 2831 02:51:05.959 --> 02:51:08.159 your heat pump is broken because it's just turning and 2832 02:51:08.239 --> 02:51:11.079 not generating the heats, and I was like that, yes, 2833 02:51:11.159 --> 02:51:13.319 because it's a negative ten. And so that I think 2834 02:51:13.399 --> 02:51:17.079 is the challenge of these one size fits all approaches. 2835 02:51:17.479 --> 02:51:19.959 But you made a really good point about local control, 2836 02:51:20.079 --> 02:51:23.159 and I think there's two things. One is that you 2837 02:51:23.239 --> 02:51:26.680 need to have the information. Distant bureaucrats simply don't have 2838 02:51:26.719 --> 02:51:29.760 the information necessary to make those good decisions because it's 2839 02:51:29.799 --> 02:51:32.959 not in front of them, and everybody's circumstances are a 2840 02:51:33.000 --> 02:51:35.600 little bit different. The second thing is is that you 2841 02:51:35.639 --> 02:51:38.959 need accountability so that when something goes wrong or when 2842 02:51:39.000 --> 02:51:39.840 it goes right. 2843 02:51:40.239 --> 02:51:42.760 You get that feedback. When you fail, you say, okay, 2844 02:51:42.760 --> 02:51:43.719 we got to change. 2845 02:51:44.319 --> 02:51:47.200 Where mights don't have that feedback, they don't have that accountability. 2846 02:51:47.319 --> 02:51:50.719 There's a fantastic example here at Washington State. 2847 02:51:51.920 --> 02:51:54.680 So the Quinault tribe, which is out on the. 2848 02:51:54.520 --> 02:51:59.159 Coast, had been has these beautiful forests, but the Bureau 2849 02:51:59.200 --> 02:52:02.120 of Indian Affairs had been doing all of the timber 2850 02:52:02.159 --> 02:52:06.280 harvesting on the land on behalf of the tribe. 2851 02:52:06.639 --> 02:52:07.520 And what did they do. 2852 02:52:07.639 --> 02:52:12.000 They cut clear cut massive areas and then left slash 2853 02:52:12.040 --> 02:52:14.840 on the ground. They said, don't worry, it will decompose 2854 02:52:15.399 --> 02:52:18.159 and trees will regrow between them. But what they didn't 2855 02:52:18.200 --> 02:52:22.200 realize was that cedar has a chemical in it that 2856 02:52:22.440 --> 02:52:26.879 slows decomposition. So what was left was these massive areas 2857 02:52:26.920 --> 02:52:29.879 where there was just all of this timber slash and 2858 02:52:29.920 --> 02:52:33.520 no regrowth at all for decades, literally for decades. 2859 02:52:34.079 --> 02:52:36.479 So the tribe said, look, why. 2860 02:52:36.280 --> 02:52:40.360 Don't we take over the forestry on our own land, 2861 02:52:40.440 --> 02:52:42.440 because they were the ones who are paying the price. 2862 02:52:42.559 --> 02:52:45.680 They lived there, not the BIA. Right, the BIA was 2863 02:52:45.719 --> 02:52:48.879 making decisions from Washington d c. So they took it 2864 02:52:48.920 --> 02:52:51.079 over and what was the first thing they did. They forested, 2865 02:52:51.120 --> 02:52:55.239 They removed the slash, and they started a harvest rotations 2866 02:52:55.239 --> 02:52:58.120 that were sustainable that would bring back those forests. 2867 02:52:58.200 --> 02:53:01.799 Now, critically, they harvested for revenue. 2868 02:53:02.079 --> 02:53:04.959 They want that money because they recognize that it's a 2869 02:53:05.040 --> 02:53:08.559 valuable resource and they use it to fund part of 2870 02:53:08.840 --> 02:53:11.559 the tribe's budget. So they didn't just you know, leave 2871 02:53:11.639 --> 02:53:14.479 the trees. But they were better stewards because they had 2872 02:53:14.520 --> 02:53:18.319 the information about how cedar worked as opposed to other trees. 2873 02:53:18.559 --> 02:53:21.520 And then they also have the accountability. And my favorite 2874 02:53:21.559 --> 02:53:23.799 part of the story was is that when the tribe 2875 02:53:23.840 --> 02:53:27.760 took over forestry in the early two thousands completely from 2876 02:53:27.799 --> 02:53:32.040 the Bia, the BIA said the Bia had been harvesting 2877 02:53:32.079 --> 02:53:32.879 without any. 2878 02:53:32.719 --> 02:53:34.719 Environmental assessments at all. They said, well, we. 2879 02:53:34.719 --> 02:53:37.879 Have a general plan, go harvest, and the tribe took over, 2880 02:53:37.920 --> 02:53:42.079 the BIA said you have to do environmental assessments. You 2881 02:53:42.079 --> 02:53:44.680 can imagine the tribe's reaction when they said, you haven't 2882 02:53:44.719 --> 02:53:45.920 been doing it, but we have to. 2883 02:53:46.000 --> 02:53:47.200 And the BIA said yes. 2884 02:53:47.399 --> 02:53:52.719 I think that's the arrogance sometimes of government overseeing and 2885 02:53:52.799 --> 02:53:55.239 in this case, I mean really treating the tribe badly, 2886 02:53:55.319 --> 02:53:57.680 who had been doing a better job than the BIA. 2887 02:54:00.319 --> 02:54:01.920 Is just so much better for the environment. 2888 02:54:02.000 --> 02:54:05.159 Oh yeah, I guess my question is do they have 2889 02:54:05.239 --> 02:54:07.520 some special status that we don't have that they could 2890 02:54:07.559 --> 02:54:10.760 take back control from this bureaucracy, Because that's the biggest problem. 2891 02:54:10.799 --> 02:54:14.120 We can't get control back from these bureaucracies that are 2892 02:54:14.159 --> 02:54:16.360 doing a bad job. How did they get it back? 2893 02:54:16.479 --> 02:54:18.559 Was it because of their status as Indians there? 2894 02:54:19.399 --> 02:54:22.040 Yeah, it was because they have sovereignty. 2895 02:54:22.520 --> 02:54:26.159 Now that's you know, what sovereignty means on tribal lands 2896 02:54:26.200 --> 02:54:29.440 is sort of interesting because the BIA is supposed to 2897 02:54:29.520 --> 02:54:32.239 hold the land and trust and manage it for the 2898 02:54:32.239 --> 02:54:38.000 benefit of the tribes. It's an incredibly paternalistic system, I think. 2899 02:54:38.079 --> 02:54:40.879 But as the point that you make is is that 2900 02:54:41.799 --> 02:54:44.000 in the tribes they have the opportunity to do that. 2901 02:54:44.040 --> 02:54:45.680 They can at least make an argument that they are 2902 02:54:45.719 --> 02:54:49.200 sovereign and can do that. You and I we can't say, hey, 2903 02:54:49.319 --> 02:54:52.440 we would rather have control led us figure a way 2904 02:54:52.559 --> 02:54:56.000 to be better steward. You know, the federal and state 2905 02:54:56.040 --> 02:54:57.920 agencies don't do that for us. 2906 02:54:58.120 --> 02:54:59.040 So I think it's funny. 2907 02:54:59.040 --> 02:55:02.799 It's because I've started studying tribal stewardship of natural resources 2908 02:55:02.840 --> 02:55:04.520 for this very reason, which is. 2909 02:55:04.360 --> 02:55:05.959 That they have more control. 2910 02:55:06.479 --> 02:55:09.040 And I think that in many ways they provide a 2911 02:55:09.079 --> 02:55:13.120 really good model for how we should care for natural 2912 02:55:13.159 --> 02:55:17.120 resources because they have that local control, local knowledge, and 2913 02:55:17.200 --> 02:55:18.159 the accountability. 2914 02:55:18.200 --> 02:55:18.959 And when it comes. 2915 02:55:18.799 --> 02:55:24.120 From forests, fisheries, wildlife habitat, wildlife management, they do a 2916 02:55:24.120 --> 02:55:26.799 better job. I'll give you one more fun example, which 2917 02:55:26.840 --> 02:55:31.040 is in Washington State, the wolf is considered a threatened species, 2918 02:55:31.559 --> 02:55:33.959 but on the Callville Reservation, which is right in the 2919 02:55:34.000 --> 02:55:37.559 area where the wolves are, they consider the wolf recovered 2920 02:55:37.600 --> 02:55:39.879 because the populations are very high and they actually hand 2921 02:55:39.959 --> 02:55:40.920 out hunting permits. 2922 02:55:41.079 --> 02:55:42.200 That's the tribe. 2923 02:55:42.440 --> 02:55:45.440 So when they have authority and when it affects them, 2924 02:55:45.479 --> 02:55:48.040 they can say, look, we're using the information, we have 2925 02:55:48.639 --> 02:55:51.159 the accountability, we have the control to do a better 2926 02:55:51.280 --> 02:55:53.559 job than the sort of bureaucratic systems. 2927 02:55:53.280 --> 02:55:53.920 From the government. 2928 02:55:54.120 --> 02:55:56.520 Well that's interesting, you know, and but you know, part 2929 02:55:56.520 --> 02:55:58.559 of it is and again it is the status of 2930 02:55:58.559 --> 02:56:04.280 the Indians. But regular Americans have sovereignty that they're not 2931 02:56:04.399 --> 02:56:06.920 using as well. And I think that they need to 2932 02:56:06.920 --> 02:56:08.799 start using the Tenth Amendment and some of these other 2933 02:56:08.879 --> 02:56:12.559 things because federal policy, especially when you talk about forests, 2934 02:56:12.840 --> 02:56:14.680 and we were talking about that earlier in the program 2935 02:56:14.719 --> 02:56:17.079 with the fires that are happening in La seen it 2936 02:56:17.120 --> 02:56:21.639 over and over again, poor forestry management because they're not 2937 02:56:21.680 --> 02:56:25.360 doing stewardship anymore. They're doing environmentalism, and it's kind of just, 2938 02:56:25.399 --> 02:56:27.399 you know, don't touch anything type of thing rather than 2939 02:56:27.440 --> 02:56:30.440 actually doing stewardship. And it has been disastrous for the 2940 02:56:30.520 --> 02:56:32.799 last fifty years, and it's getting worse all the time. 2941 02:56:33.200 --> 02:56:37.280 And so I think everybody needs to start getting together 2942 02:56:37.319 --> 02:56:39.840 and seeing how we're going to increase our sovereignty so 2943 02:56:39.840 --> 02:56:42.079 that we can start addressing some of these problems ourselves. 2944 02:56:42.159 --> 02:56:45.520 And of course that's what your book is focus, not 2945 02:56:45.799 --> 02:56:49.239 the political aspect of it, but the beauty of having 2946 02:56:49.280 --> 02:56:52.479 smaller local decisions. Tell us a little bit about your 2947 02:56:52.479 --> 02:56:54.200 book again, I know we talked about last time you 2948 02:56:54.239 --> 02:56:57.239 were on and the title of it. 2949 02:56:57.000 --> 02:57:01.840 Is Time to Think Small, How nim environmental How nimble 2950 02:57:02.200 --> 02:57:03.920 environmental technology. 2951 02:57:03.319 --> 02:57:05.000 Can solve the plant's biggest problems. 2952 02:57:05.280 --> 02:57:07.200 And there are a lot of folks on the center 2953 02:57:07.280 --> 02:57:09.760 right who care about the environment, but very skeptical about 2954 02:57:09.840 --> 02:57:12.959 environmental issues because they feel that it's a trojan horse 2955 02:57:13.360 --> 02:57:15.959 for policies that they don't like, and in many cases, 2956 02:57:15.959 --> 02:57:18.520 as we discussed, it is but they want to find 2957 02:57:18.559 --> 02:57:22.200 an alternative that they can support to be to protect 2958 02:57:22.479 --> 02:57:23.639 the natural resources. 2959 02:57:24.159 --> 02:57:26.239 Like I said, conservatives live around that. 2960 02:57:26.760 --> 02:57:28.680 The other sources that I've had a lot of people say, 2961 02:57:28.719 --> 02:57:32.399 is my college age son or daughter comes back and 2962 02:57:32.520 --> 02:57:34.799 lectures me about the environment and why don't we care 2963 02:57:34.799 --> 02:57:36.600 about the environment. And so I said, We'll give them 2964 02:57:36.639 --> 02:57:40.760 my book. It'll explain a better way to help the environment. 2965 02:57:40.840 --> 02:57:44.120 But what it shows is is that in the nineteen 2966 02:57:44.159 --> 02:57:47.920 seventies when we created the EPA, you didn't have the technology, 2967 02:57:47.920 --> 02:57:50.600 you didn't have the control for individuals to make a 2968 02:57:50.639 --> 02:57:54.200 big difference in environmental stewardship. That's just simply not true anymore. 2969 02:57:54.239 --> 02:57:56.959 We now have the technology. We now have the ability 2970 02:57:57.040 --> 02:57:59.719 to do really remarkable things to be good stewards of 2971 02:57:59.760 --> 02:58:02.799 the environment in ways that bureaucracies fail. 2972 02:58:03.239 --> 02:58:03.799 And so what we. 2973 02:58:03.840 --> 02:58:06.600 Recognize, what we need to recognize, is that we need 2974 02:58:06.639 --> 02:58:09.479 to change the way that we do environmental stewardship. 2975 02:58:09.719 --> 02:58:10.680 Put the power in the. 2976 02:58:10.600 --> 02:58:14.360 Hands of individuals, people's innovative companies, and less in the 2977 02:58:14.399 --> 02:58:17.360 hands of politicians and bureaucrats. Who tend to focus on 2978 02:58:17.399 --> 02:58:20.159 their own interests rather than the interests. 2979 02:58:19.879 --> 02:58:23.040 Of the planet. And Washington State's failure on reducing CO 2980 02:58:23.239 --> 02:58:25.680 two emissions that we saw this week is really just. 2981 02:58:25.680 --> 02:58:29.799 The perfect example of where an issue that the politicians 2982 02:58:29.879 --> 02:58:34.280 say is critical and existential crisis and yet even they 2983 02:58:34.799 --> 02:58:37.920 fail and then make excuses for that fail rather than 2984 02:58:37.959 --> 02:58:40.239 saying we need to find a better way for them, 2985 02:58:40.280 --> 02:58:43.159 it's about political image. It should be about for the planet, 2986 02:58:43.520 --> 02:58:46.520 or conservatives and those in the center right who live near. 2987 02:58:46.440 --> 02:58:47.360 Nature every day. 2988 02:58:47.799 --> 02:58:50.840 That's what thinking small, That's what these new technologies, that's 2989 02:58:50.840 --> 02:58:51.120 what my. 2990 02:58:51.079 --> 02:58:51.799 Book is about. 2991 02:58:51.920 --> 02:58:56.280 It's about ways to do that actually live, that help 2992 02:58:56.360 --> 02:58:58.879 us live the lives the way we want while being 2993 02:58:58.879 --> 02:58:59.959 good stewards of the planet. 2994 02:59:00.159 --> 02:59:03.120 That's really well said. And again the book is Time 2995 02:59:03.239 --> 02:59:06.120 to Think Small by Todd Myers. And I guess I 2996 02:59:06.159 --> 02:59:09.559 can find that Amazon and where books are sold, right, Yeah, absolutely, 2997 02:59:09.600 --> 02:59:11.200 that's great. Yeah, I've seen that same type of thing. 2998 02:59:11.200 --> 02:59:12.520 As a matter of fact, I worked with a guy 2999 02:59:12.760 --> 02:59:15.520 at a think tank who had been with the EPA 3000 02:59:16.600 --> 02:59:18.639 at the time, he had just retired. He was with 3001 02:59:18.719 --> 02:59:21.760 him for about thirty years right after their creation, and 3002 02:59:22.639 --> 02:59:24.879 to see that it had kind of changed his whole 3003 02:59:24.920 --> 02:59:28.159 mission statement, you know, and the EPA has not really 3004 02:59:28.200 --> 02:59:31.600 been about pollution anymore. It's all about the environmentalism. And 3005 02:59:32.159 --> 02:59:34.719 so that's what we see with the bureaucracies. And it's 3006 02:59:34.799 --> 02:59:37.479 really by design because it allows these people who have 3007 02:59:37.559 --> 02:59:40.959 to stand for election to not have any accountability either, 3008 02:59:41.280 --> 02:59:43.639 because they can always push it on to the bureaucracy. 3009 02:59:44.040 --> 02:59:46.440 Thank you so much for joining us at Todd Myers 3010 02:59:46.559 --> 02:59:52.120 and again the book is Time to Think Small by 3011 02:59:52.200 --> 02:59:55.079 Todd Myers, and he works there at the Washington Policy Center. 3012 02:59:55.360 --> 02:59:57.319 Thank you all of you, and thank you Sandy Hayes. 3013 02:59:57.319 --> 02:59:59.360 I appreciate that. Thank you for the tip. Have a 3014 02:59:59.399 --> 03:00:16.200 good day. The common man, they created common Core and 3015 03:00:16.319 --> 03:00:19.719 dumbed down our children. They created common past, track and 3016 03:00:19.799 --> 03:00:23.719 control us. They're Commons project to make sure the commoners 3017 03:00:23.920 --> 03:00:29.680 own nothing and the communist future. They see the common 3018 03:00:29.680 --> 03:00:34.559 man as simple, unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has 3019 03:00:34.680 --> 03:00:40.319 worth and dignity created in the image of God. That 3020 03:00:40.479 --> 03:00:42.920 is what we have in common. That is what they 3021 03:00:42.920 --> 03:00:48.879 want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. 3022 03:00:49.719 --> 03:00:52.840 They desire to know everything about us, while they hide 3023 03:00:52.920 --> 03:00:57.040 everything from us. It's time to turn that around and 3024 03:00:57.159 --> 03:01:01.319 expose what they want to hide.
