Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to the David Night Show. As the clock strikes thirteen, it's Friday, the twenty ninth of September, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty three. Oh, we've just gotten word that Diane Feinstein has retired. We'll talk about that, but we're going to begin with what is happening with immigration and with crime in this country. We'll talk about what happens to people. Many people are asking what happens to social
security if the government shuts down. We'll talk about that. But there's even a bigger issue that you should be concerned about with Social Security and how they are entrapping people with it. It's massive bureaucracy that eventually comes back in a Kafka esque way and hits you with bills of tens of thousands of dollars to the poor, to the disabled. We'll be right back to stay with us
well. As I said, Diane Feinstein has just retired. But of course, as is going to be the case with all of these people and the gerontocracy, the rule by the elderly here, she will be carried out feet first. I said this for the longest time, just like Darth Vader Ginsburg. You see, it's all about them. They're not there to serve the country. They're there to serve themselves and to get as much out of it
as they can. It's about the power, it's about the money, as we've seen with Menendez, as we have seen his buddy Lindsey Graham defending Menendez in previous trials. Even Glitch McConnell, you know, he's not really freezing there in many strokes. He's not free he's just pausing to pose for his eventual statue that's there. While these people fiddle around and fill their pockets.
Our country is burning down. So let's talk about what is happening. Even in Costa Rica, they've declared a state of emergency over the migrant crisis as it rocks the Americas, not just North America, Central America as well. Coosta Rican President Chavez, not Hugo. I don't think he's any relation to Hugo anyway, who has passed on as well the way of all flesh, especially dictators. But he is talking about an emergency because these people are just
passing through his country. They're not coming to stay. They're on their way to America. And so many people are on their way to America because of Biden's betrayal that he can't handle it in his own country. I've instructed the Security Ministry to take a firm stance with anyone who takes Costa Rica's kindness for weakness. Well, what is happening in America is weakness. Is weakness from
Biden following weakness from Trump. Trump, who said he was going to do all these things, he couldn't even would not even get rid of the DACA executive order. He would not do anything to use the military that he is commander in chief of. He wouldn't bring the troops home and put him at the board. He wouldn't do anything. Well, let me ask the Supreme Quarter. Fact. Oh, they sent a kid to it. So I'm sorry. Sorry Congress said I can't build the wall. Sorry, Yeah,
what a fraud. Anyway. Cheva has explained the tsunami of migrants is coming from Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Haiti, Yemen, Bangladesh, China. They left out Africa because they were going down the list. The one guy was asking everybody, and who are you from a lot of people coming from Africa, from Senegal places like that. I mean, this is a global thing. These people will pony up money. If they don't have money, they'll sell themselves. It's a big part of the human trafficking issue. Just
to get here to America. It's a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow. And when they sell themselves to these traffickers, very horrible things happened to them. Many of them been killed, women have been raped, children have been put into prostitution, all the rest of stuff. Biden doesn't care. It doesn't care about any of that, and frankly, neither did
Trump. Since the beginning of the year, nearly four hundred thousand migrants have crossed the border from Panama into Costa Rica, of course, going through the Daarien Gap, as we have talked about many times. And we need to get back on jan I can't remember his name, anyway, we need to get back on. Biden green lighted migrants worldwide in a June twentieth statement that
marked World Refugee Day. He said, welcoming refugees is part of who we are, and as Americans, our nation was founded by those who are fleeing religious persecution. Well, he welcomes everybody except those who are fleeing religious persecution in Germany, who are Christian homeschoolers. He wants to get them out. The only people I see being kicked out. Everybody else's catching release. The border patrol is upset about it, many of them. But he's going to
catch these Christian homeschoolers from Germany send them back. They really are here as refugees, they really are here for religious persecution. But they're the wrong demographic. There's not just single men coming in at the age of twenty five thirty five. It's not somebody coming in from the Third World. This is a family, Christian family. Got to get rid of that. Don't want any of that around here. We don't want any any of these homeschoolers or Christians
who are going to put up a fight with the government. As a matter of fact, you had Gavin Newsom grabbing nuisance went to the Republican debate,
not really debate. I mean, it's just pathetic. If you if you've seen this, I mean the one clip I saw, I'm not going to even play it, but it was so pathetic you had I think it was Dana Perino that said, all right, well, you know The problem is is that you know, Trump's got this big lead on all of you, and there isn't going to be anybody's going to catch him as long as you're splitting the rest of the vote between the six or seven of you. So
you got to vote somebody off the island. So we're gonna give you fifteen seconds here, and I want you to write down or shoot a paper who you would vote off the island. The Santis says, are you kidding me? We're not doing that. That's very disrespectful to us. We came here to debate Paul ask Us some serious questions, and of course she doesn't. She doesn't. This is coming from Fox News. What a bunch of idiots. Anyway, he said, this is very disrespectful to me and everybody else
here on the platform, and the audience broke into applause. People are sick of these debates. Fox News can't even sell commercial time on it. You know, they were slashing their their ad rates. You to call up Fizer and tell them put some more stuff in the pot, you know, but everybody is sick of this stuff. There's never any substance to it, even for the politicians. The politicians try to get onto something of substance, and
they shut them down. So what does this look like for Americans? Well, I got a ninety five year old veteran of the Korean War kicked out of a nursing home to make way for illegal aliens, and the latest slap in the face to Americans, writes Western Journal. Ninety five year old Korean War veteran Frank Tomorrow was kicked out of his nursing home so the facility can house illegal aliens. He said, I thought my suitcases were going to be on the curb, and if it wasn't for my daughter, they would have
been on the curb. We have no respect for Americans as Americans last. They always, you know, when they took so much exception to the idea that we would have America first, Well that means they want America last, or somebody else in first place. And they're in New York City, newly
Risen freemason Master Eric Adams. Just the Governor's mentioned that's what he was working on last week, not all of his palace and the police department and and there, you know, during their secret handshakes and special ceremonies and whatever else they're doing, and somebody put it up on Facebook because he didn't want to talk about it in the official schedule anyway. Eric Adams admits that the deluge of more than one hundred and ten thousand illegal aliens will destroy New York City.
As I said, and that report going down the line, people are coming from every country on Earth, every Third world country on Earth, and they ask him where are you going, and virtually every single one of them said New York City. They may not stay in New York City, but they're going to go to New York City. Adams said, never my life if I had a problem that I did not see an ending too. And I don't see an ending to this. Well, the only way I don't
know how we're going to end it. You know, getting rid of Biden is not going to end it. Putting Trump end is not going to end it. It didn't end it before. We have had this ongoing thing again. You know, they brought it back up again and the debate at the Reagan Library. Reagan gave amnesty people who are here illegally, and then they said we're going to tighten down on this. We got my entire life, I've been watching this fraud politicians. The Democrats say we don't want to fix
immigration. The Republicans say we're going to fix immigration, and it just keeps getting worse and worse regardless who is in. And now it is a global program. This is not just America, this is everywhere. As we see in Europe, they want to bring in the third world to sufficient numbers. This is not about the you know, the people that are in these other countries. It's just that there's so many of them, and they're poor, and they don't have a way to live, and they have a different language
and a different culture. And it was kind of interesting. There was a you know, one of the replies of this was in The Atlantic, that globalless establishment rag. They said, well, you know, they began an article with a quote about the Tower of Babel and they said, maybe we just need to build their city. Now I did not read the entire article. Maybe they tied it back together with a fact that you know, as as they out of their pride, we're going to build a city that was
going to do whatever they wanted. You know, we can do whatever we wish because we've got technology. Right. That's a lesson and God struck them and they all began speaking different languages. You know, we do have anthropological confirmation of that. Really, they all talk about the plane of China are and all that area there as a cradle of civilization. They all say that, you know, we had these major civilizations that all sprung up at the
same time in India and China. What's going on with that? And in Europe we had all these different civilizations that just started all at once. They don't have an explanation for that. They don't have an explanation for the similarity in different languages either. You know, every language, the mother is mama every language and pretty close to it for the father, Papa or baba. That's what our adopted daughter called me, was baba, but it was mama.
You know, she's telling everybody, I've got a mama, you know, when we picked her up. But so there's certain things like that. When you look at the Chinese characters, it goes back to Genesis. The pictures that they have different things go back to Genesis. But anyway, the story of the Tower of Babel, I think what you know they're doing is
we're getting babelized here. They're creating confusion deliberately. And these people see themselves as God, and they want to create confusion and strife by bringing in people of different tongues and different tribes and cultures, essentially tribe as a culture, and erasing national borders. It is a prescription for chaos, which is what they want to do. You know, at the time God did that, everybody had the good sense to go off on their own to another place because
they realized they couldn't get together. But these people are trying to force this everywhere again because they want chaos. Well, we have an update to the other chaos that is happening with the Soros District attorneys. You remember yesterday I played that influencer who calls herself meat Ball, who was very happy to film Philadelphia being looted. Here's a short part of that clip. Oh that's the
wrong one. Let's see where is it. That's a meat Ball yesterday sewing and today she is reaping, and she is weeping, and she's reaping. There we go, there's a clip. Thank you, everybody must go. Well, today she's eating those words and she's been charged with six felonies and several misdemeanors on the basis of that, she said other things. Besides, everybody musty, she said, tell the police are either gonna lock me up tonight, or it's gonna get lit. It's gonna be a movie. Well,
they didn't lock her up that night. They just locked her up. The next day. They did lock her up. This is what happened, she said, when we don't get justice in this city, and then people breaking into the Apple store and screaming free iPhones, free iPhones, get your Obama phone right here, call her the Obama phone lady. On Wednesday, she was handed eight separate charges, including six felonies, stemming from her involvement
with a louting. She's been charged with burglary, criminal trespassing, conspiracy, conspiracy. They always see these people the biggest conspiracy theorists. Everybody gets a charge of conspiracy except for Lee Harvey Oswald. There's nobody else that they've ever come against except for Lee Harvey Oswald that they don't think was involved in a conspiracy, criminal mischief, riot with intent to commit a felony, and criminal use of a communication facility or phone. I don't know what that was.
They also gave her two misdemeanors property and hazardous conditions or physically offensive has had a reference to her appearance. I don't no, but the soros DA, besides arresting her as now brought charges again against the police officer. That the judge said that there's not that this person should not even be charged, and that was the excuse. And I say as an excuse that it does not justify any of it. These people were looking for an excuse to steal and
they did that. Whether or not this cop is guilty, they used this as an excuse to loop. During the Tuesday hearing on the initial case, Judge Windipew ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to convict the police officer Dial of the death of Arazari. After viewing footage. They said that he had acted in self defense. His lawyer said he is firing while trying to take cover, arguing that his client was afraid for his life and that the charges shouldn't
have been brought forth in the first place. Every tragedy, he said, is not a crime. Judge replied, I agree with you. One dropped the charges and scolded the district attorney for bringing them in the first place. And body camera footage, however, Dial was seen approaching a stopped vehicle in a police vehicle before getting out of voices heard telling the driver I will effing
shoot you. Then at least six shots were fired into the side of the car, with police pulling him Azari Irazari, out of the vehicle and then taking him to the hospital in a police vehicle. Authority said the incident occurred after officers spotted a car driving erratically around noon on August of fourteenth. The
officers father the vehicle for several blocks. The department initially claimed that the officers made a traffic stop and shot a person outside the vehicle after he lunged at them with a knife, but then they backtracked on those claims when body camera footage showed the driver holding a knife by his leg. I'll just say this, regardless of what happens with this shooting by the police officers, this is looting. Is not a response. Burning the city down is not a response.
But they are saying, what, we have an excuse to do all this stuff because so we don't like what the police did. In Congress, we had nearly a unanimous vote to shut down Biden's feeble attempt to try to stop any training of any gun training at all in schools four hundred and twenty four to one. All Democrats except for one joined with Republicans to kill the planned by Biden to crack down on all hunting and even archery classes. I mean, they want to take us back to the Middle Ages. Folks say,
you know, back in the Middle Ages they banned crossbows. I guess it's where Biden thanks this. This should go it We defined a twenty twenty two gun control bill and Biden's attempt to strip funding from schools that have been that have hunting and archery programs, not necessarily even you know, doing firearms in school like they used to do. RFK Junior even said, Hey, when I was a kid, people brought their their guns to school for marshmanship
and other other classes that they have. But I don't know that was even happening there. But notice what they're doing, taking the funding away from the schools. You don't put boys in the girls bathroom, or we're gonna take away you're funding. If you have hunting and archery programs, they're gonna take away you're funding. Everything they do. They reward you if you do what
they want with the money. That they just create out of thin air, and if you don't do what they want, then they take that money that they have now gotten you dependent upon, they take that away. And I kept, you know, I want to get that across the people because that's the way the government always does. It doesn't matter if it's Biden or if it's Trump. And that was what Trump was doing in twenty twenty and people couldn't understand that. People furious with me all year because I said, what's
Trump's fault? Well, as Fauci is doing. He put Faucci there, He left Fauci there. It's the Democrat governors. He paid the Democrat governors and the Republican governors to do all this stuff. It all started with him. He was responsible. Buck stops with him, and the money that kind of buck began with him. Only a single Texas Democrat voted against this Protecting Hunting, Heritage and Education Act, and that was Veronica Escobar in Texas,
the only opposition to this entire thing. So be interesting to see what happens to her in Texas. What is going on with our schools though? Right people are hunting around to find out what the issue there is because it seems like our kids just can't hit the target right, and it's some more archery practice. In Baltimore, thirteen high schools produced not a single student amongst the entire population of thirteen schools, and that's forty percent of the Baltimore School district.
Forty percent of them. Thirteen high schools don't have a single student who is proficient in math, can't pass the math exams, and they're spending thirty one thousand dollars per student per year. Now Biden wants to defund the hunting and archery programs. I want to defund the entire schools everywhere everywhere. Education school is not an education. School is not the same thing as education. We need to understand these are different things. The schools are an institution and
education is something completely different. Now, the teachers who are teaching in the schools now would still be needed if we restructure these things and get the government out of that business, and they need to be out of that business. So forty percent of the schools, the high schools, don't have a single person who is proficient in math, and they're spending thirty one thousand dollars per
child. Do you realize what this does to the American dream. It's one of the reasons why people don't talk about that when they talk about how unaffordable houses are. And of course, a big part of the unaffordability of houses is the fact that inflation is going and wages are not keeping up with it. It's also due to all of the mandated things. You know, even when you adjust for inflation, houses cost several several times what they used to
cost, because there's so many different mandates they're from the government. Just like cars. Cars have increased at a rate faster than the rate of inflation, and so have houses. Houses even more so. Actually, and yet a big part of the cause, which nobody wants to talk about are the schools in Texas where we were many schools that almost the entire population were illegal aliens who came across to get educated for free. You know, they called them
dreamers, and I said it for the longest time. Well that's great, they've got a dream. Americans used to have a dream. Americans used to have a dream of owning a home. Americans used to have a dream of living in something that wasn't like a four by four box, which is what they're talking about in California. There is something that was put up. The house prices are so expensive in California. Now we're gonna shrink you down to
not even two hundred square feet. This is going to just be bunk beds, and they're going to have a you know, like a sleeper car on a train or something, and then some common areas. And it costs you about a thousand dollars a month in California. So the government is making people homeless. The government is inflating the costs through regulation. The government is inflating the costs through taxes to support the schools and bringing in an endless number of
people. If we're going to have dreamers that come here for an education, then you can kiss the American dream goodbye. And I've been saying this for decades. Anyway, students at thirteen high schools failed it, not a single student, and so we're not getting our money's worth. Right, What is it that they're teaching them besides math? I can't even imagine. Going to California School District has solved the problem. They are going to achieve equity.
Equity by getting rid of honor courses. We've got to dumb everybody down to the same lowest level idiocracy, deliberately dumbing down Americans. That's what the institution of schooling is all about. Defund the schools. San Francisco Bay Area High Schools is considering moving honor classes for high school students in an effort to streamline its courses and to provide equity, a move that is sparked concern among students, parents and teachers. Yeah, well, I thought the honors classes were
a joke anyway. School was a joke when I was there sixty years ago. So it's only gotten words. We're gonna take a break and we come back. We're gonna talk about what's gonna happen with Social Security if they shut things down. We're also going to talk about a trap that Social Security has put out there for people will be right back the common man. They created common Core and dumbed down our children. They created common past to track and
control us, their commons project. It makes sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to
turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at The David Knightshow dot com. Thank you for listening, Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. Thee David Knightshow dot com about what happens in Social Security if the government shuts down tomorrow afternoon. The looming government shutdown has some
Americans worried about what will happen to that the deadline again tomorrow. If they don't pass what they need to do to keep this going a continuing resolution, the government will shut down and a lot of people, disability lawyers and others are getting call some people who are concerned some operations might be affected by the government shutdown. If you're trying to register change something for Social Security. But the checks that are going to be in the mail, as they say,
always count on the government, all right. So security benefits are considered to be mandatory spending and are paid from the program's trust Fund Trust Fund anyway. Therefore, the agency has the funds to continue paying benefits. They will do it because they don't want the civil unrest. But let me tell you,
be careful about the government. You know, it's I understand people need this, but you know the analogy of the the cane that you lean on breaking and piercing your hand, Well, that really is true with Social Security. Rabo's ghost sent this to me. And this is a mainstream article actually talking about what happens with some people that are like a ropodope. So Security is
overpaying billions to people and then demanding the money back. I had a situation like this happened with with my income taxes, and it's like, wait a minute, wait, why are they sending me all this money back? And uh, you know, no explanation, send you a ch put it there. But it's like, there's something wrong with this. And sure enough, about a month, within a month, they came back and said, we sent that to you by mistake. You need to send it back to us.
And oh, by the way, you got to pay us interest on this. It's like, what is this about? You know? And I was able to pay that back, but that's not the case with these people on Social Security. They're poor, they're disabled, and they aren't catching this for years, and then they're coming back to them and saying, for years, we've been paying you money that we should not have been paying you,
and they get bills that are tens of thousands of dollars. Justina Warrel, forty seven, works part time as a kitchen helper in a nursing home. She has cerebral palsy, an intellectual disability, and a cardiac condition the requires that she got an artificial heart valve at age twenty. A year ago, she was earning eight hundred and sixty two dollars a month and receiving about a thousand dollars in monthly social Security disability benefits. When a letter arrived from the
federal government, the Social Security Administration. I've been overpaying her, they said, yeah, a thousand dollars a month. It was over payment within thirty days. It said she should mail the government a check or a money order for sixty one hundred and seventy five dollars ninety cents. Yeah. Well, let me just call my broker and have them sell some stock here, all right? The Social Security should be there to help people, not to destroy
them, set her aunt and caregiver. The Social Security Administration is trying to claim reclaim billions of dollars from many of the nation's poorest and most vulnerable payments that it sent to them but now says that it never should have received.
And there's a metaphor in this, isn't there. Yeah, Payback is always tough from the government, whether it is money that they give you during the pandemic, and they spend trillions of dollars, lots of chrony capitalism, tens of billions of dollars to the pharmaceutical companies, hundreds of billions of dollars to their friends and fraud. But we have to wind up paying that back,
don't we. During the twenty twenty two fiscal year, the agency clawed back four point seven billion dollars of payments, mostly from the poor and disabled. They can afford it right. One consequence is a costly collection effort for the government and a potentially devastating ordeal for the beneficiary. We have an overpayment crisis on our hands, said a senior fellow at the Century Foundation. Think that's one way to put it. I guess the agency declined to say how many
people have been asked to repay over payments. But they result from a lot of different things you do, just like the income tax or anything else that the government does. And it's this byzantine network of rules and things that's very complicated. So it's very difficult to follow, and it's not clear. It's not clear to Social Security, it's not clear to the people, just like
the IRS. You know. One of the things I always talk about when I talk about the IRS and the tax code, and I forget who said it, and they said, a law that is sufficiently complex, it's the same as no law at all, because now it's up to the subjective interpretation of whoever you get to, whoever is going to be working on your case.
So it's very complex, it's difficult to follow. It limits, the limits on what beneficiaries can save or can own have not been adjusted for inflation in decades, and so some people who have just a minor insurance policy of four thousand dollars that technically kicked them out of all this stuff to have to repay back tens of thousands of dollars. The Social Security Administration doesn't have adequate staffing you say, whenever they fail, these government bureaucracies say, well,
we got to have more people. That's a problem. We just don't have enough bureaucrats. Isn't that always the case? The answers always to hire more people for their little bureaucratic empire. And the system has built in lags and checking information about beneficiaries income, so you know, they might not catch up to this for many, many years, which is what the case is for most of these people. It tracks its over payments through quarterly payment integrity scorecards.
Most recent scorecard for one Social Security program, the agency said two hundred and sixty five million dollars worth of overpayments in twenty twenty two. All of that was within the agency's control. In other words, the agency blamed itself. But hey, they can make the mistake. You'll pay for their mistake. And the answer is you got to have more of them. It need more people like this, more rules, more regulations, a bigger welfare state,
all of that. You know, I wonder if when we had a society where people came together and helped the poor and disabled among them through volunteer organizations, through churches and things like that. You know, there's still a bit of that in America when a disaster happens. And that was what my son did a report on when it was in high school and we looked at a big disaster on the coast, hurricane coming in. What did Fima do. It was horrible what they did to the people, just like what you're
seeing now in Hawaii. This is fifteen years ago. He did the report, and and yet in our area a tornado came through, did a lot of devastation, destroyed a lot of homes, took down a lot of power lines. You had the police come out, the sheriff department came out, kept people away from the downpowered lines. You had businesses donate food and other supplies. They took them to church parking lots, and the people at the churches showed up and handed out this stuff and distributed it. You see,
we still have the ability to do stuff like that that Dutokville. America is not dead. It's just smothered with a welfare state where everybody thinks, well, the government's got this taken care of, I don't have to do it. And yet nobody goes back and clause back this stuff when you have it You know, you don't have that kind of waste, fraud and abuse that you do with a welfare state when it's being handled by people who are there
in the community. They know who needs it and they know who doesn't need it. You know, that's a double edged tragedy with a welfare state. People who need it don't get it, people who don't need it get it. That doesn't happen if we hadn't been doing this through Washington. But again, Washington can just create money out of thin air, and it has made us all dependent on it, and then as we lean on that cane,
it breaks and pierces our hand. This is just one more example of it, a really bad example of it. In twenty twenty one, more than seven percent of the program's outlays were over payments. Wow, we had about a ten percent chance of getting a back build on this. Some over payments involved the Disability Insurance program, which assist disabled workers and their dependents. Lorie Cochrane, a beneficiary disabled by multiple sclerosis, said she got tripped up my
life insurance PAUL she took over from her mother. After she reviewed her finances with a Social Security representative, she received a letter saying that she owed twenty seven thousand dollars. She said, I started having heart palpitations. She said that she didn't know that the insurance policy had a cash value of four thousand dollars. Like I said, they have not adjusted these amounts, so it's like, oh, well, you've got a big insurance policy here, four
thousand dollars. That means you don't get any Social Security benefits. So we've been paying you, and we've been doing that for years, So send us back twenty seven thousand dollars. The agency told her that for every month that she had held the policy, she was not entitled to her nine hundred and fourteen dollars a month benefit. The agency said it would recoup the twenty seven thousand dollars by deducting ninety one dollars and forty cents from each of her future
checks. She said, at that rate, you'd be paying it back way into my elderly eight so she asked the Social Security Administration to reconsider. In the meantime, she said, she cashed out the life insurance policy, only to learn that instead she could have signed a paper saying that she had no intention of cashing it out. They don't even tell her that again, it's all these technicalities, she said. So now I'm left with no life insurance
and there's not even enough money there for my daughter to bury me. She will have to take out a loan in order to bury me. Another beneficiary named Laurie, described her journey through the minefield on the condition that her last name be withheld. In twenty seventeen, they informed her that since two thousand she had been overpaid one hundred and twenty six dollars. I'm sorry, one hundred twenty six thousand dollars collectively. I almost threw up when I opened that
letter, she said. My husband and I were like frantic, she said. After six years of battling sol Security, including multiple appeals, she finally prevailed she had spent her benefit money and the belief that she was entitled to it, the judge wrote, and requiring repayment would be against equity and good conscience. But again, that's just the luck of the draw. It took her six years to get to the obvious conclusion. In twenty eighteen, Matt
Cooper was shot in the face while working as a police officer. He and his wife and their kids were on social security payments and they did the same thing to them. Yeah, it's just you know, everywhere to look, this is happening to people. So while they're doing that to Americans, the
migrants that are coming in are getting many cases first class treatment. You kick out that veteran who's ninety four years old, Ki came out of the nursing home, so we can put people who are here illegally, who have absolutely no respect for this country or its laws. And in the UK, same type of thing. UK government contracts stipulates that migrants have to stay in hotels with three or more stars. Three star hotel or more or more. It's
reported by the UK Telegraph. They said contract actors who are housing the so called small boat migrants they need to be housed with a minimum of three star accommodations and this has already costing the UK ten million dollars per day per day. It's totally unacceptable that too many towns and cities around the country now house the forty five thousand asylum seekers who are in hotels. It's not right that
British taxpayers should have to fork over this cost. According to the numbers, Afghanis represent the largest number of asylum seekers in twenty twenty three, thirty three, one hundred and twenty six another roughly three thousand applications came from Iran, with India, Bangladesh and Pakistan trailing behind them. However, in twenty twenty two, the group that was the largest group were Albanians coming in across the
English channel. So they're coming in from everyone. Again, this is a global movement to take down nations and culture, and to do all of this via groups that don't even speak each other's language. So this article from Reason talking about the shutdown happening tomorrow and have a brief moment of excitement as they contemplate shutting the government down, and then it's like, well, no, actually it's not going to really shut down. At midnight on Saturday, the
fiscal year ends in Congress. If it's not past a continuing resolution, we'll have to do something to stop the spinning. So the person says, so, what what's wrong with a government shutdown? This whole fight is about more than Jis McCarthy keeping his job. People ostensibly depend on the federal government to provide services that matter to them, or so the argument goes, of course, a government shutdown doesn't actually mean that the federal government will grind to a
halt. And the person reason says, be still my heart, don't get too excitement up. But they're not really going to shut down the federal government. Instead, services that are deemed non essential are suspended, like FDA inspections. Are they doing any testing of drugs? I kind of missed that if the FDA is even done. They shut this thing down preemptively, didn't they? With that Trump They said services that are considered essential, like air traffic
control, border protection, border protection. Who in the Biden administration thinks that border protection is essential. They pretend to think that's essential with the Trump administration, but they didn't think it's so either. Anyway, they said that people who are furloughed will get furloughed temporarily, and then they'll get their back paid later get a paid vacation. In fact, as a reason, I have
some candidates for agencies that we could shut her forever. The TSA, with its eight to ninety five percent failure rate at detecting explosives and weapons, would be a great start. And see, look, I just save the government ten billion dollars annually right there, he says, maybe the EPA, which keeps trying to regulate carbon emissions and power plants to no effect, and which stands in the way of controlled burns. Oh, there you go, save
another ten billion dollars. Of course, you know it's going to get a lot more expensive with the IRS, we could. Yeah, they're again APA ten billion dollars, PSA ten billion dollars, the i R S thirteen billion dollars, except that the Democrats want to didn't want to give them another eighty billion dollars increase, and those tight fisted Republicans only said sixty billion dollars increase. They only want it five times bigger than it currently is. I tell
you that is that is something that is waiting to explode on us. You want to know how they're going to make sure that we all own nothing. Take a look at that army of IRS agents that the Republicans in Biden are about to unleash on us, going over everything with a fine toothcomb, using AI technology, using everything else where. They're going to be coming for us for the first time in thirteen years. The Federal Reserve is cutting jobs.
It's lost one hundred billion dollars even the Federal Reserve is losing money. In the federal government at a time with the mainstream economists and Federal Open Market Committee policymakers are betting the farm on a soft landing, it looks like an unexpectedly hard signal has just been issued from none other than the Fed itself. For the first time in over a decade, the Central Bank announced that it will cut about three hundred people from its payroll this year, a rare reduction in
headcount of an organization that has grown steadily since twenty ten. It's a matter of fact it had fallen in two thousand and ten, but it has been able to get back up. If you look at their their employment charts, you see that took a dip down in two thousand and ten, but then it rapidly expanded back up, just like they rapidly expanded everything else in the economy. The Central Bank earns roughly seven point five trillion dollars from at seven
point five trillion dollars portfolio of bonds and mortgage backed securities. It's where it gets its money. But as they have raised rates, it has hurt them. Unlike federal agencies that spend tax dollars allocated by Congress. The FED is
self funding because it is private. I should put that in there. It's earnings from its asset holdings and its fees charged to banks for a range of services are used to pay the roughly six point three billion dollars and annual expenses of a system that employees nearly twenty four thousand people in Washington and other cities across the country. That's a pretty high average payroll, probably skewed to the
top. But since the creation, since the Federal Bank Federal Reserve began to increase interest rates, it has been spending more than it earns each year and it gives the Treasury an iou to be paid later. Isn't that nice? Just kick it down the road. And more recently, the FED was paying out over seven hundred million dollars each day between interests paid on reverse repo and reserves. And when did all this start? Yeah, you know, back
in twenty nineteen. They started doing this repo market stuff while Trump was present. Republicans in Congress who have expressed concern about how deeply the FEED is delving into other issues like climate change and the economics of inequality, so that it seems like the feed is going beyond its monetary policy and its bank supervisory missions. Of course, there's nothing in this article from zero hedge where nothing in
no concerns from the publicans except for a few like Tom Emmer. We want to talk about why is it the mission of the Federal Reserve to try to control us with a central bank digital currency. That's the elephant in the room that very few people want to talk about, and of course they're not going
to bring it up on a Fox News debate. The number of system wide jobs of the Fed have been following from Jessi of twenty four shy of twenty four thousand as of two thousand and three down to nineteen thousand, seven hundred and two ten, but it's now gotten back up there. They've unleashed the
biggest balance sheet expansion of monetary experiment in history. So again, before we go to break, just think about the fact that do you really want to use this system managed by these people as a store of your wealth or would you rather have it in something like gold and silver? Again, David Knight, dot gold is what Tony Arderman has set up. And I'll take you to wise Wolf dot gold and let him know he came through this. But he's got all kinds of things there to help you as a community. And
that's the key thing that we're talking about yesterday. You know, it's the gold demand. People are starting to see this gold demand, even though the price is being suppressed by market manipulations. They can't keep it in stock at Costco and they're not even they don't even have a good price on it. It's just people don't know where to go, and Costco doesn't give you any
information at all. Tony has set up a community there with wolf Pack and with other things, and of course Tony is always happy to spend time talking to you. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. You're listening to the David Night Show. He's fine today. Lord up, man truck it. Are we gonna do what they say can't be done? Are? We've got a long way to go and it's short time to get there time. He's kind of liked the man and run keep the
pot bought on the paddle. They will find him. Break let an all thing out cause we got around to me. The boys up their sticking Atlanta and the pier at tekok Cannam and we'll bring it back no matter what it takes. He's founded put it up. Are we going to do what they say can't be done? We've got it always, And he's short time to get there. He's fine, just oh yeah, that's always fun. And of course looking that trans an makes me think Eric is going to be joining
us. Eric Peters is going to be joining us in the third hour. He's got a trans an himself. One of the classics. Anything talking about that and some other things is he's got a great article, was Pontiac racist. We'll talk about that when he comes on. And I wanted to talk about trucking, by the way, That's why I brought that in. I want to talk about the other aspect of this, and that is the tractor
trailer that you see there. But Harps had a great comment began the program talking about Guy and Finds's retirement also known as for senators as known as death. He said, so, I wonder whom Diane Feinstein will be voting for in twenty twenty four, or will she nominate herself for president. Well, we have somebody there who's just about in the same situation as Diane mentally dead. So anyway, good good comment, Harps. I like that. And
I want to thank some of the people before we get into this. Some of the people have left tips on ROCKFN, thank you very much. Eric appreciate that, and Doug a Lug and Angus Mustang and Angus says if our government shuts down, who will funnel money to Ukraine? Well we just add Zelinski here. I guess he was, you know, loading up his private jet with gold bars and stacks of cash to take back just in case I don't know. And also on Rockfan James, thank you very much for the
tip and comic coming in from Steve Swan here. Trans am should be the only trans that's right. We'll talk about transportation and this is not about gender swamping. Here a person on the American Institute for Economic Research. When Christopher Wilcox wrote this, he says, why I'm leaving the long haul industry? He says, truck this. I've been a truck driver for over twenty years.
I suppose I always knew I would be ever since that career day and third grade, when among the kids dressed like doctors and baseball players, there I stood dress like Jerry Reid from Smoking abandon in the pop culture in the eighties painted the picture of truck drivers as rugged men, wild and free, burdened by nothing except their own wanderlust. That romanticized version of the American truck
driver still lingers in the back of my mind. But in recent years, the government burden of regulation has proved to be greater than my desire to see what's over the next hill. Oppressive regulation and the trucking industry has been around almost as long as the iconic chrome bulldog on the hood of mac trucks. Going back to FDR, the Federal Motor Carrier Act of nineteen thirty five gave us the Interstate Commerce Commission, the ICC an agency that was didn't give it
to us, but it gave them the authority to regulate tractor trailers. They were set up to regulate railroads. He doesn't mention this, but you know, when I look at this and think about it, you know, railroads
were famous for chrony capitalism. The robber barons and everything, right, a great example of chronic capitalism, of regulatory capture, of just corruption, and so what'd you think was going to happen when they take that organization that was running that corrupt aspect of the railroads and put them in charge of tractor trailers. He said. The ICC ultimately decided which companies could haul certain goods, for whom they could haul them, where they could go, and what they
could charge. They even decided if new transportation companies could enter the market by requiring eager upstarts to prove that their services were quote unquote needed. This is one of my first exposures to regulatory capture, not as a truck driver or anything like that, but as a shipper my father's business, which also has been regulated out of business by the federal government's regulations. But at the time I used to summers, I would work there. From time I was in
it was either second or third grade. Summers, I would work at my dad's business, and most of the stuff that they did was shipped, and my dad was always i'll just drop a name here, Central Trucking. I don't know if they even exist anymore, but they were the bane of his existence. He hated them as much as he hated the ATF because the ATF was regulating them on alcohol that they used for perfume and things like that.
The two things that were something back to Christmas story. You know we have the dad was wrestling with the furnace memory those well, those are those are curse words in our house. The ATF and central trucking, and he was forced to use them to ship to certain states. They had a monopoly that was given to them by the ICC. I wonder how they got that monopoly. But again you couldn't ship except by them to those particular places, he
said. The only exemptions of these laws were the agricultural sector. FDR and his horde of central planners. Didn't want to cause an increase in the price of food at a time when Americans were already struggling to put food on the table. He said, never mind a tacit admission that the FMCA would raise prices on all other goods. Well, we know this is kind of raise the price on everything, so let's not do it for food. This exemption
had its own unintended consequences. While independent drivers commonly referred to as wildcatters and drivers slang, we're not subject to the price floors previously mentioned, they were limited to hauling only agricultural goods. This limitation caused a significant logistical dilemma for wildcatters who are delivering in industrialized parts of the country, and its largely responsible for the mythos of the outlaw trucker that we all know today from film and
from music. The cesspool of chronyism and perverse incentives created by FDR was substantially reined in with the FMCA of nineteen eighty. This is why we now see hundreds of not thousands, of company names sprawled along the sides of the fifty
three foot trailers. Granted, we still have the ICC, though today it is known as the Department of Transportation, and any truck driver that has had to spend ten hours at a scale house without a shower or a hot meal over a minor infraction of hours of service rules will remind you that they are still quite burdensome. Unfortunately, the federal government continues its misguided attempts to control an industry regulators know little to nothing about, and now something else that they
know even less about is on the scene. Technology. The electronic logging device has been around since late nineteen eighties. The devices were first adopted by large nationwide fleets to simply to simplify managing their plethora of drivers and eventually became a
way to lower insurance costs. Manufacturers and employers claim the devices prevented drivers from driving longer than legally allowed, therefore reducing the number of tractor trailer related crashes, and is under this premise that the Department of Transportation mandated them in twenty seventeen. Unfortunately, fatal accidents involving tractor trailers have seen a recent increase following a sharp decline, which suggests that mandating these electronic logging devices has not provided
the safety improvements. We see this every time. More recently said environmental regulations requiring manufacturers to reduce emissions gave us the diesel particulate filter, the DPF. He said, this was not a federal mandate, but it was something that was pushed on people by California regulations. Just as California is trying to ban cars seventeen states and now in Virginia. You know, you had something that
seventeen states that piggybacked onto any regulations that California had. Virginia was one of them that happened under Ralph and all of them, and so young Ken is trying to get that undone in Virginia. But if not, those California regulations are going to effectively ban cars and trucks that are not electric in less than ten years, in just eight years. And he says when these filters, he's special filters, the diesel particulate filters, go down, the trucks stop,
he says. Some truckers report having to replace these filters every five thousand miles, he says, which is a lot of lost productivity and stranded cargo. He says, I've had four breakdowns over the past two years. Three of them we're due to my DPF, he said. A tow truck driver I spoke to on one of those occasions told me that half of its business
comes from those malfunctioning malfunctioning DPFs. He said. It costs two thousand dollars to repair these things, and of course your truck is not moving, you're not making any money, he says. Next up on the government's list of used to make truckers lives miserable are the proposed speed limiters. Booty Gay wants to limit all tractor trailer It's at the same speed, so you know what's
going to happen with that. They're going to get a lot of turtle races everywhere, which is what the Germans call it, when you got tour races or elephant races where you've got the two trucks and they're going the same speed block in both lanes. He So the problem with all central planning is that regulators lack local knowledge and are not inclined to speak to people living with the consequences of their decrees, probably because we would tell them what idiots they are.
But it's definitely I would say, because they don't even care what we think, and they don't even care what damage they do. They are again regulatory capture. They are serving their political agenda, whether that is banning something or the other, or whether it is making money for the corporations like Fiser Moderna. We look at the medical side of that. It said for the last two decades that I've spent traversing this beautiful nation and large been a wonderful
experience. I've got countless stories to share with other drivers over a cup of coffee at my favorite fuel stops, and with my more stationary friends over cold beer. I wouldn't trade the things I've seen, the buyings I've been in, or the successes I've enjoyed for anything, but the burden that's been laid on these old tired shoulders by bureaucrats and central planners has become more than I'm willing to bear. I will always learn for the open road, but now
I'll have to satisfy that wanderlust. In my pickup truck. I'm pulling the parking brake on the Peter built for the last time. And this is not an isolated story. Our government is like a bull constrictor. And to go back to the Revolutionary War, they show the different states there is snake, join or die. But we need to take this bull constrictor, which is what the government, the American government has become, and we need to tread on it, and we need to cut it into pieces because as it is
destroying our lives, and it is doing so intentionally. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Dated Night Show. Let's talk a little bit about the shots. Elon Musk came out and said something very interesting. He said, this COVID shot or this trump shot, he doesn't call it a trump shot. I do. Almost sent me to the hospital. And he also said he would go to prison before he would fire workers for refusing the jab.
Well it's very interesting because prison sentences were never a part of any of this stuff. So what is going on with Elon Musk? What is he really trying to tell us? This will not endure me to Twitter anymore? But I'm a shadow band. Isn't better? Get Just yesterday I get another comment that I saw. Person said, by the way, just so you know, I'm not seeing any of your tweets, I went to deliberately looked me up to see if I was still on Twitter. Yeah, I'm still
on Twitter, but they don't see my tweets. And the same thing happens with my wife frequently. But yeah, it hasn't really gotten any better. Perhaps it's gotten worse for me on Twitter, I don't know. But the shadow banning is still there. Mister free speech has made sure of that anyway. He said he took multiple multiple vaccines, said he could travel, and
he said it was after his third shot that he nearly got hospitalized. Well, you know, first of all, he needs to understand this is not good for his transhumanist aspirations, because you know, these people want to live forever and they've just got to hang on there until their technology saved them. If they can just hang on long enough. All these guys think that they're going to be able to transfer there whatever they are, into a new mechanical
body. But of course they can't tell you what they think they are, right, because these guys are such materialist. I remember talking to Zultanist Vaughan, who ran for president I think in two thousand and six teen as part of the Transhumanist Party. I don't even think they got on the ballot anywhere, but he was campaigning in Austin, and so I said, yeah, come in, I'll talk to you. And you know, I asked him, said, so you're going to transfer yourself into a robot hopefully right?
Yes? Yes, I said, so what are you Because these people are the quintessential materialists. They don't believe in anything supernatural. They don't believe that there's a soul or spirit or anything like that. So what is it that you're going to put into that machine? Well, you know, it's just we're going to make a copy of myself. And said, well that's not you then, right, So what are you Seriously you're going to copy yourself?
You're not necessarily going to transfer your but none of them think they're going to transfer their spirit into a machine. They're going to transfer a copy of themselves. That still begs the question, so what are you? They don't know. And so anyway, you know, Elon Musk going to the premier transhuman and he you know, but he's out there giving himself a shot. You're getting three of these things. And then it gets even more ridiculous because he says, Oh, I've had to have it so I could travel.
The richest man in the world doesn't have private jets. Seriously, Uh, and I'm sure that the good relationships that he has with these different countries, they would let him in even if he didn't have the vaccine passport. He'd get on his private jet and go there. It's like, yeah, you know, it's just, you know, you don't think that the richest man in the world could find a doctor somewhere to sign off on this stuff and tell him that he'd gotten a vaccine. I'm sorry, I'm not buying this
story here from him. He retweeted something that was pretty old. Actually, this video is pretty old. It's still a very good video. The one that's up playing. Uh. Edvard Grieg's in the Hall of Mountain King and uh, and it starts counting down the headlines, showing all these headlines from mainstream media, quoting by the way, quoting Moderna and Visor and Fauci or oh yeah, the vaccine, this one's one hundred percent, one hundred percent
effective. And so I always you look at that. I won't play it because it's all just audio. I've played it in the past, but you know, there's there's they don't have any clips. It's just collected headlines, and you see them going down. So the video starts, they have ten different headlines. Of course that's not the only ones that everybody was saying this, saying that it was one hundred percent effective and quoting Moderna Invisor and others.
And then the next thirteen slides or you see it going from ninety nine down to ninety percent effective, and then it just keeps falling, you know, it gets down to nothing essentially. That's you remember that video. And again going back to twenty twenty, let's just remember the sequence of events here. I've talked about this before atter a while. So if he thinks that this is a big revelation about this and nobody knew until now. It was
right after the election. Okay, so you have the election on Tuesday, and on Sunday you had sixty minutes ran this piece that they had in the can talking to all the military people who were going to be transporting Operation Warp Speed vaccines as all military operation in terms of the transportation and the logistics of it, and of course the design and development of it was a skull and dagger stuff from fouching the CIA, which now they're relabeling as Oh they were
they were talking about what they were going to do with the Wuhan Lab. No, they were talking about the real bioweapon, the vaccine. They've been partners in developing the vaccine for years and years, and that's one of the things I have an issue with rfk Jr. About. Yeah, he was. I thought his first book where he was talking about Faucci in the twelfth chapter, which is what I wanted to talk to him about, he talks about the germ Games, and he talks about the CIA at the very center
of all that, working with Fauci. And yet now he's written another book talking about how the pandemic all came from the Wuhan Lab. It's like what are you doing misdirecting people away from the CIA and Faucci and their bioweapon shot, because that's when all this talk about the lab stuff really is. Yes, the CIA and Faucci were working together covertly doing all this stuff, and now they're trying to shove the blame over to China. That's real, forty
chess, were you right there? They can avoid the responsibility for what they did, and then they can all make us hate China at the same time. Not that we should love China either, but anyway, going back to what happens, So you have the election on Tuesday. On Sunday, you have sixty minutes run this piece. Oh yeah, we're going to get that right away. As soon as this stuff is shown to be effective, We're going to get this stuff out the very next day. On the Monday,
it had only been six days since the election. They had pronounced on Saturday that Biden was a winner. Sunday sixty minutes talking about how they're going to deliver this as soon as they know that it works. And then on Monday, the sixth day, Fiser comes out and says they are vaccines are ninety percent effective. Oh really, isn't that convenient? And how do you know that you haven't done any tests? There was no testing done. They were
just making this number up. The next day Russia comes out, ours are ninety two percent effective. The following Monday, Moderner comes out says ours are ninety four percent effective. And the next day Fiser came out and said ours are ninety four and a half percent effective. And then that number continued to go up because it's just a fantasy number. As they were lying to everybody with a propaganda. It got up to one hundred percent and stayed there for
a while. They'll started dropping down, and so one journalist ed Krassenstein, so it's it's stupid that anybody would ever claim that it was one hundred percent. No, it wasn't stupid. It was propaganda. And then Elon Musk saying that he would go to prison before he would fire anybody for this stuff. Well, nobody ever went to prison over not firing people for not getting the vaccine. What they did was they stopped you from doing business with him.
But again Elon Musk had the leverage with the government, who's going to launch their satellites if they shut him down? He was holding all the cards. He could have called their bluff. He could have pushed back on Biden, and he could have set up a very important precedent. But they don't want to jeopardize a relationship. You see now, the same thing as you
see with the rest of the military industrial complex. They could have said, well, we're not going to build any more f thirty fives for you, and they would have said, well, that's going to impact your ability to win future contracts, which is the way the government would have replied, which is why they didn't do it. There wasn't anything there about jail terms. You know, he's presenting himself out there as your savior. Elon Musk is anything but your savior. He said, we would have not done so.
I would rather go to prison than to fire good people who didn't want to be jabbed. Total bs, total bs. He says, it's not that I don't believe in vaccines. I do. However, the cure can't be the cure cannot be potentially worse than the disease, and so he said, I think there is great potential for during main diseases using synthetic mRNA. So let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Yeah, he really does
believe that. In April of twenty twenty, as his stuff was happening, he was pouring money into a company, Krevac, that had been funded initially by Bill Gates. Bill Gates gave Kurevac fifty two million dollars in twenty fifteen, and Musk started giving them all kinds of money and working with them to make mRNA micro factories. And that was all the beginning of the fraud dimmick.
That's not pointed out in This is Your Hedge story, all that hypocrisy, and he continued to talk about the mRNA micro factories, maybe still doing it. I saw articles as recent as this last November where he was talking about that. But yeah, he's portraying himself as a savior. He's portraying
himself as mister free speech while he shadow bands people. The European Union is now saying that you are the top purveyor of disinformation, and so yeah, it's true, it's just not in the way that the European Union thinks. He's still doing a lot of disinformation. I'd go to jail, you know. I took three of them, and I nearly went to the hospital at a near hospital experience, like a near death experience. I guess Musk knows that he is not off the hook by leaving the Code of Practice because now
we have the Digital Services Act fully enforced, says an EU bureaucrat. So my message for Twitter is you will have to comply with the hard long we'll be watching what you're doing. So he's playing in political games with people, but the other person, of course, he's playing political games, many of
them. You look at this professional wrestling stuff again. I talked about, you know, how this is all tied with Biden, and how there's an election on Tuesday, he's declared the winner on Saturday, the sixty minutes pieces in the can about the delivery on Sunday, Monday, Visor starts with ninety percent and then they start, you know, one upping each other over the next week over their efficacy rates. But there was also something else that was
going on at the time. And of course, just to remind you, in case you've forgotten, the fact that Biden was questioning the vaccine the entire time that Trump was president. Oh it's not safe, and there's no way that he's going to be able to deliver it, which makes all of that, you know, timing of the sixty minutes piece and all the rest of
that stuff very very interesting. Here's Biden in twenty twenty. How are you going to distribute the vaccine when it arrives and the question of whether it's real when it's there, that requires enormous transparency. You got to make all of it the available to other experts across the nation so they can look and see. So there's consensus this is a safe vaccine. There are no corners being cut. John, I'll guarantee you that safety is very important. There is
no political pressure. This is a Trump ad, by the way I've seen it, all to move quickly because safety and the effectiveness will not be compromised. We will do our job to assess the safety and the efficacy of a vaccine, Kennidate. I want to assure the American people of that. Yeah, that's a Trump ad. So you know, Trump comes back and he plays a quote from Biden, and then he has refuted by his buddy Fauci.
I've played for you the clips before how Trump just did a super cut a Faucci talking about how Donald Trump had done everything that he told Donald Trump is a faithful servant to me. You know, when he don't tie my shoes, he ties my shoes. When I tell him to kiss my foot, he does, and all the rest of this stuff. And so in that you had they had three people. First one was Fauci, second one was Francis Collins, head of the NIH, who was also you know,
been doing this gain of function stuff for a long time. But anyway, and then uh Hahn, I think it's Stephen Hahn was his first name, the FDA director at the time who later went to Moderna. Trump's first FDA director was Scott Gottlieb, who came from Visor and returned from Wincey King to to indulge in the profits that were there. But now this is Biden today,
because now that he's in charge. You know, they did their their professional wrestling thing, and you know, the media switches out as soon as Biden gets elected, sixteen minutes runs its peace and Visor says we're done. Everything is fine, and the military says we're and wouldn't be delivering it. And so then everything was great. It's so great. As a matter of fact, it had to be mandated to people. And so now here's Biden. Because a lot of people are questioning this, and this is why they've
got the nonsense about the bioweapon lab being the real threat. They know that people are really waking up to this thing, and they are pulling out every bit of propaganda, every angle to lie about this stuff. And again there are a lot of people in conservative media who are being fooled by this. Here's Bid today saying you don't want to question the vaccine, you want to
question the lab. Now. As a matter of fact, Biden has said that he's going to ban any more money from going to Wuhan for another ten years. Even Biden is pushing this lab stuff. So all of your conservatives out there who jumping on board this stuff, you might want to rethink what the bigger picture is here said I. Also it doesn't directly relate today,
but Arthy and I talked a little bit about it earlier this morning. Is that what leaders say matter in terms of people's confidence and things they're not sure about. And one of those areas you saw what happened with regard to the crisis health christis we had that cost us lost well over a million people, and as time began to move on had more and more voices saying no,
no, no, you don't need to get that shot. You don't need to be you don't need to And we have a new strain of COVID now and we have answers for it. But I just would urge those in public life and both political parties and no political party, to be cautious about they sometimes inflammatory things you say about this because people's lives are stake. Yeah, they are as peace. Well, not in the way he was vice president for a slightly different reason. I spend a lot of time going between rural
areas and urban areas. Yeah, yeah, is he sure about that either. Look, we have to be cautious about what we say because people's eyes are at stake. How many people have been killed by the hospital protocols? Is it a million? They were not killed by the WU flu. They
were not killed by a pathogen that was released accidentally or deliberately. They were killed by the deliberate policies, the greed, the corruption, the mass murder of Trump and his hospital rules with Faucci and with a Trump shot and Biden's mandates, and so you know they're playing this game. Trump was pushing the miracle vaccine all through twenty twenty, and Biden was no, no, it's not happening, right, And then Biden reinvinced himself as soon as he gets
relected, Oh, it's great, and we've got this all set. It's just tag team professional wrestling folks. They're lying to you. Everybody knows this thing is dangerous, and now they've got to create this idea again. As I said yesterday, you know, they ran this out through conservative media and said, you know, it's probably you have the sources, the people calling up Alex and other people saying, you know, it's a it's a leak
out of the lamp. And you know it's not a coincidence that they picked that wet market there that was close to Wuhan, so they could put that out there. And then they started punishing anybody who would talk about it. And then that was it. Oh yeah, the conservatives were sure that they were onto something because they were being punished for talking about that. These people are playing forty chess. They're the ones who are playing forty chess, not
Trump. So they pushed that out and now they're telling everybody all these long COVID symptoms. You know, that that's what you're suffering from. You're not suffering from the vaccine and the things that you know, a lot of people died right away, a lot of people died from heart issues. Even those heart issues, you know, that's the vaccine. And we've got so many people who are dying as they're working on their lawn because they're just releasing chemicals
that are in the ground and that's what's killing them. Now. I mean, we've had so many absurd things that have been put out there, but now they're going to blame it on the Wuhan lab. The establishment is blaming it on the Wuhan lab because they want you afraid, they want you to go get the vaccine. And again, all of this stuff about October of the fourth and everything, it's all just a part of that game that the CIA plays on people. The Intelligence Committee is what I mean in the overall
big thing. If you go back to again to July twenty twenty, Fox News running things Biden questions whether the coronavirus will be real despite expert assurances, said Fox News. These are the people who are running these garbage debates where they just get the candidates there. They want to get them screaming at each other. They want them to play these little games where you raise your hand if you think this, write this down who you want to vote off,
and all the rest of stuff. Fox News and Tucker is still doing that kind of stuff. The Trump campaign has called out Biden's remarks as irresponsible. This is in July of twenty twenty, and because Biden was said, how you're going to distribute the vaccine when it arrives as it just played, where you got to make all of it available to other experts across the country so they can look and see so there's a consensus that this is a safe vaccine.
Well, of course that never happened. Meanwhile, the chief adviser of operational warp speed in July of twenty twenty, the government's vaccine program, said this week and an interview with CNN that he expects efficacy rates in the ninety percent range. How would he know that in July ben't done any testing. Well he knows that because that's what they're going to tell you. They've already worked up their line. So this whole thing has been a scam from the
very beginning. And then DNA contamination. This is from spectator. Early in twenty twenty three, genomics scientists Kevin mccarrinan made an accidental discovery while running an experiment in his Boston lab. He used some vials. He spelled that via ls, but you could also spell the other way v l E s of mRNA Feizer and MODERNA COVID vaccines as controls, and he was shocked to find
that they allegedly contaminated work intamina with tiny fragments of plasmid DNA. Well early twenty twenty three, three years after all of this stuff began, right, we finally do some tests, he says, The contamination had not been disclosed. I mentioned this briefly, but I didn't go into enough detail on this.
Other scientists soon confirmed his findings, although the amount of DNA contamination was variable, and as we've also seen, so are the active ingredients variable, going from three to one hundred, varying by factor of thirty three times, suggesting inconsistency of vile contents depending on batch lots. Yeah. One of these scientists was cancer genomics expert doctor Philip Buckell buck Haltz, who is a proponent of the mr and A platform and has received the Fizer COVID vaccine himself.
Well, you know what about those two million vials in Japan? Remember that the Japanese government just threw them away. They said, looked at these things, and they've got black particulates or precipitate, things that are precipitated out of the solution here that are black. And not only that, but they interact with magnets. Well that was the last that we heard of it. But
they threw away two million of them. It was two different times, all over, a million the first time and then a million the second time. So what's going on with that? What is it that precipitated out of it? Is that why they had to keep them at a super cold level, because otherwise that these things would start growing something? And why were they interacting with magnets. You see, we don't know what is in any of this stuff. Nothing about what is in any of this stuff, and so it's
nanotechnology. Nobody really knows what's in this stuff. I tell you, doctor Paul Offatt, who was always the biggest cheerleader for vaccines. You know, we got to mandate the measles vaccine all the rest of stuff, and one of the biggest ones out there and he's with some vaccine you know, that's his business. But he said, like I said, doubt, we don't want to do this warp speed thing. He said the same thing that Rampaul said. It's going to make people suspicious of vaccines. He knew it was
going to blow up. Now, I don't know if he knows what sent him or not, or if he's just looking at this and making the same decisions that I made. This stuff has not been tested for anything. It's a very new and novel approach. Doctor Paul Offitt is not getting it, and he's public about that. I'm not taking that stuff. One of the guys' biggest cheerleaders for all the vaccine stuff is not going to get it. That's his personal decision. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll
be right back. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You are listening to the David Night Show. Well, we have James Gordon Meek, a guy who was a reporter for ABC News for nearly ten years, and he was caught with child pornography and the prosecutors are asking for him to go to jail for fifteen years. Now, there's so
many different angles to this as I looked at this. First of all, let's understand that the prosecutors were asking for thirty three years for Joe Biggs, who didn't get violent with anybody, and they got seventeen years a prosecutors not even asking for as much as Joe Big Scott for this guy who's doing child
pornography. And then there's something else about this. Understand that even though they will send some people, not all people, some people because we had you know, Brown Jackson, the most recent addition to the Supreme Court should let person after person off who had chop pornography. It's like, that's just yeah, who cares? Was her attitude? Who cares? Everybody's got that all over their computers. They I'm not gonna send somebody to prison for that stuff.
She's setting on the Supreme Court now. But for most people, a pornography of kids is still a problem. But in most Democrats states, especially places like California, pornography two kids, two kids is fiercely pushed. They demand it. You got all of these articles all over mainstream media and drudge
on a almost a daily basis. Oh look, you know they We've got this pornographic cartoon novel about, you know, the Holocaust, and it's got pornography in there, right, And how dare them take away the Diary of Ann Frank Well, because it's not about World War two, it's not about what happened to these people. It's about their explicit pornographic pictures that they have
in there. They demand that that be shown to kids. And if you stand up at one of their meetings and you start reading this stuff out, or you start reading it and a legislative body or something like that, people are outraged, just like they're outraged if you show the pictures of Hunter Biden in a public thing. It's Marjorie Taylor Green is not. But you know they're you are not allowed to read out loud what they are pushing on kids. And what does that tell you? And that's why of these people keep
doing that. It's a very powerful point. So pornography too kids is required. But for some people, pornography of kids is a bad thing and they will get punished, but not nearly as much as somebody that they don't like politically, like Joe Biggs. And so there is as we look at this downward spiral and how these people for their latest sexual kicks must focus on kids. In the Netherlands, there's a kids TV show called Simply Naked, where
adults get naked in front of children, right. And this is the amazing thing to me is how these people put this out as if this is some kind of an a libertarian thing. No, you never, It's never before now been okay to take liberties, sexual liberties with kids. That was one of the last remaining taboos. But now that is demanded and it is celebrated.
And so in the Netherlands. Now you want to know why, you know, you want to hear these globalist parasites are taking the food supply of people in the Netherlands and getting ready to lock them up in these smart cities. It's because they've tolerated this kind of stuff. We've got to find a way that we take this thing down. Politicians aren't going to take this stuff now. Somehow, We're going to have to push back against this, or
God's going to judge our country as well. You'll judge any country that does this type of thing. So in one episode that they put up, they showed, of course they had things that were blurred out. I'm not going to play the video even with that. But they had a bunch of transgenders there, adult transgenders, transgenders who ad mutilated their body, and they have a bunch of kids, and they're doing this in front of the kids.
How sick is a society that does that type of stuff. People sit there and watch this, and these people are engaging in this exhibition to kids getting completely naked, and then afterwards they interview the kids and the kids, Oh, it seems perfectly natural to me because that's the way they're being raised.
And so in Germany you have a book that is pro prostitution being offered to children by the government in Germany. So this, all this stuff is way beyond the Weimar Republic and the corruption that was there, and you know,
we know what happened to Germany after that. The city of Berlin has prompted outrage from locals after offering a graphic picture book on prostitution to children on its official website, targeted for kids six to twelve, because it's so important for them to know about prostitution, and they put this all in the context of immigrants who have come into the country from Eastern European countries and that type of thing or from Syria. Of the book is written from the perspective of a
child named Miriam, whose family relocated to Germany from Syria. She narrates as she and her equally young school mate Martin look for Rosie, a woman who has migrated to Germany from Bulgaria who is in the quote unquote sex trade. Miriam says that her mother told her that Rosie is often looking for money in the street, described as having many friends who are also migrants from Bulgaria,
Romania, Russia, Lithuania. You know, people who are going to be in prostitution because they've been trafficked, right, And this is how they normalize all this stuff, these people, this is coming from the human trafficking. The enabling of human trafficking is coming from the governments, and rather than stopping it, they do explicit, explicit books about talking about what the prostitute does.
They do that for kids to normalize it because you know, hey, this is something you know they said, Rosie's men, it's not like on TV. And then they get very very explicit about it. So last year they had they said that Google searches were terms like Ukrainian girls, Ukrainian porn,
and war porn spiked as the conflict began. It was later learned that Berlin based sex work quote unquote advocacy agency had made was made up of trans and non binary sex workers and they were using social media to solicit Ukrainian refugee
women to get into the sex trade, to become prostitutes. Again, all of this stuff together, all these this cesspool where you're talking about the massive murder in Ukraine, whether this NATO pushed war, or whether you're talking about the massive migration and the human trafficking and everything, and that all falls in together, as we see over and over again with their Ukrainian trans spokespersons, and you know they're pushing of the LGBT flag. All this stuff falls together.
It's all just different facets of the same thing. Meanwhile, a thousand children in Ohio have been reported as missing already in twenty twenty three, So why is this a surprise? Forty five children disappeared from the Cleveland area in September alone, reports the New York Post. But it's just it's normal, right, This is the new normal that they have for us. We cannot accept this, We'll be right back. Welcome, Welcome, you're listening to
the David Night Show. Let's here from listeners. On rock Fan, m J. Nichols responds to the trucking stuff. He says Central Trucking, the trucking company I talked about. He says they're still around, but they're a shadow of their former prominence. He says, I've never owned a truck without and he's a truck driver. I've never owned a truck with DPF and they will never put a speed limitter on my truck. Well, good for you. Good for you. My thirty plus years of accident free experience and my
wallet are my speed limitter. Well good, that's good. Thank you for the tip. And also on rock Fan, thank you very much, Papa CT two G, thank you very much for the tip. And geese Busters, good to see you there. Thank you so much for the tip. On Rumble Geesebusters, let's talk a little bit about the climate change stuff. A wind turbine graveyard uncovered in Australia and the Left doesn't care whatsoever. There's
a lot that's troubling about the climate cult. It's more like an airy religion with very little actual concern for the planet and a whole lot more focused on power control and raking in enormous profits. That's right, I said, it is a control grid. This is power politics. You know, it's been said Mouse said that power comes out of the barrel of a gun. Well, I say, it also comes out of a barrel of oil, and that's what these people are using. You can shut, you can throttle an
economy. You can drive it into economic chaos, stagflation, drag flation, all the rest of the stuff by messing with a price of energy. That's one of the reasons why Biden is doing it, just like OPEC did before. Now we got Bopeck. Anyway, wind energy marketed to the public as this magical, completely eco friendly solution, but in reality it is a colossal
environmental disaster, and the left doesn't care. Back in twenty twenty, Bloomberg wrote a riveting piece on wind turbine blades and how they are not recyclable and how they're now piling up in landfills all over the country. They said in twenty twenty, a wind turbines blades can be longer than a Boeing seven forty seven wing, so at the end of their lifespan. They cannot just be hauled away. That's something we used to see all the time in Austin because
there's so much wind power in Texas that they have subsidized heavily. Tens of billions of dollars spent for the infrastructure to bring the power from these wind farms back to the cities, and we would see these blades being taken down the interstate all the time. Truly, it was amazing. This is a single blade, and so so you need to saw through after the end of their lifespan. You need to saw through the fiberglass using a diamond encrusted industrial saw
to create three pieces small enough to be strapped to a tractor trailer. The municipal landfill and Casper, Wyoming is the final resting place of eight hundred and seventy blades whose days making renewable energy have come to an end. The severed fragments look like bleached whale bones nestled against one another. And again they saw them into pieces because as long as these things are, you know, they have to have them of one piece of course to put them in place.
But as long as they are, if you're going to take that long trip all the whip to the graveyard and wyoming that would be too difficult. With the link that they are, they go very very slowly in making these turns and all the rest of stuff. Tens of thousands of aging blades are coming down from steel towers around the world and have nowhere to go but landfills.
And the US alone about eight thousand will be removed and each of the next four years, this is written in twenty twenty, each year eight thousand of them coming down because they have a useful life. Nothing lasts forever, which is why wind power is not free. It's incredibly expensive because these things burnout. Europe, which has been dealing with the problem longer, has about thirty eight hundred of them coming down annually through at least twenty twenty two, according
to Bloomberg, and it's going to get worse. Most are built more than a decade ago, when installations were less than a fifth of what they are now. Okay, so they last for about ten years and got to buy a new one. That sounds like a great business to be in if you're selling these things to people. Built to a stand hurricane force winds, the blades cannot easily be crushed, recycled or repurposed. In the US, they
go to a handful of landfills that will accept them. The one in Casper, Wyoming, there's another one in Lake Mills, Iowa, and another one in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They bury them thirty feet underground. The wind turbine blade will be there ultimately forever. Most landfills are considered to be a dry tomb. The last thing that we want to do is to create even more environmental challenges. We have the same type of problem with spent solar
panels as well. Alarming footage of the discarded remains of a wind farm in Queensland, Australia show that not only are these monstrosities a blight on the countryside when they're in operation, killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of bats and birds in the process every single year, but once they're working life of just fifteen not ten years, but fifteen to twenty years. Once that's up, they cannot be recycled, so they end up being dumped in nature or in landfills.
I gotta say, I just don't understand why the blades themselves if they're so durable. I don't understand why they cannot continue in operation. Yeah, I can understand how the generator and things like that and the friction involved those things would would break. And we see that happening with these windmills many times. As a matter of fact, if you look at this, there's one that is on fire. I don't know if it was hit by lightning,
and it's making a very interesting spiral. But you know, they will, they'll catch fire and they'll with the generator part of it. I would imagine that that would wear out. But the blades, unless they are struck by lightning or something like that, I would think that they'd be able to keep them going for a long time. But they can't. Fifteen to twenty years max drilling foundations for offshore wind turbines and sound pulses used to prepare for the
nine hundred foot towers, maybe creating a death zone for whales. So as the co founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, but they don't care, you said, they don't care about that. They don't care about the birds. They don't care about the bats. By the way, the bats are the ones that are really affected by this, because they are breathing deeply and rapidly.
And what happens is they're not running into the blades. The blades are moving relatively slowly, but those blade aids create a massive pressure differential there and so it's the same type of thing that happens with scuba divers or you get embolism. You know, if a scuba diver goes down, it takes a
breath and holds it and goes up. You know, you have a the atmospheric pressure doubles every thirty three feet, So you go down thirty three feet and you go up and you've got a full full your lungs up with air from your scoop tank. And if you then go up to the surface without exhaling, your lungs are going to blow up to twice the size, which means they're going to blow up. They're not that elastic. And the same
thing is what is happening to these bats. They take a breath of air inside this low pressure that is around the spinning turbine, and then when they come out to the regular side, they explode and they drop right there. So they know what's killing them. They're not hitting the blades. The intervention after four whale corpses were found discovered in New York and New England in a
very short period of time. At least thirty six large whales have washed up on the East Coast since December the first, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that tracks the death of large species in the Atlantic. But nobody cares to do anything about that. And so in this op ed piece they said, well, if you stop and think about what is happening with these turbines and the damage that they inflict, there's nothing green about them
except the color of money. It involves massive deforestration, many cases, the destruction of entire ecosystems, and yet idiotic climate cultists and clueless sheep accept all this. Yeah, just like they accept all this stuff about Trump. Right, people who support him, I don't care that of all the different things that he's done that they're adamantly opposed to. The people on the left are the same way as well. A genuine environment list wouldn't condone the devastation of
our countryside and the harm that animals are done to animals. But of course, you know, a genuine conservative or libertarian would not support what Trump did in twenty twenties, and it's not any support to say, well Biden does the same things or even does them to a different worst degree. None of that is true, by the way. You know, when we look at it the windmills of your mind, maybe appropriate theme song would be from Don
Quixote, jousting with these windmills, to dream the impossible dream. That's really what it's about when you're talking about these windmills. And then look at what is happening in the UK as they are frantic, frantic to get rid of furnaces there, they want heat pumps, and it's a cold enough climate that the heat pumps really don't keep anybody warm and they use a lot of energy.
You know, in a temperate climate a heat pump can be very useful if it doesn't get really cold, but if it gets really cold, you're not going to have any warm air coming out of if you got to burn something oil gas would something like that for warmth. And they really can't keep up and they run all the time, and then frequently they will turn on resistive heat, which uses even more electricity. It is not a solution,
but it is being demanded by the government in the UK. And they now have a new threat and all this is coming from the Conservatives in power. By the way, the Conservatives are doing this in the UK, a heat pump farce reaches a new low as the government doubles down on finding manufacturers if they sell too many gas boilers, same type of thing that we have seen in the past over automobiles. Well, if you sell this many, you
know it's going to be a gas guzzler tax on it or whatever. And you know, for every one of these things that you got out here with low fuel economy and a big engine, you're going to have to sell x number of these that have a better fuel economy or electric vehicles or whatever. And now they're doing that with the gas furnaces in the UK. But even worse is the fact that they are going to spend tens of billions of dollars.
Now that's a lot of money even in the United States, but it's a lot more money in the UK where they don't have this, you know, imaginary there's no limit to what they can print like we have here in the US for now, and a much smaller economy, and so this is huge and it's going to be thousands of dollars per person that it's going to cost because they're going to go through and as they turn off the gas and they don't allow people to use gas anymore, they're already talking about how they
have to dig up the roads and other areas and pull the gas pipes out. They say, we can't leave that infrastructure in the ground. We've got to remove it because if it's empty, it's going to corrode and it is then going to collapse under the roads anything. So we're going to rip it all out underground, and it's going to cost a lot of money. And this is what is happening in the West right now. They are literally tearing up you got BOUTI gets out there, ripping up streets and tearing down bridges,
calling them racist or whatever the justification. They are destroying our infrastructure. They're destroying roads, are destroying the underground gas lines and all the rest of stuff. Because they are taking us back to a medieval dark ages. That is what is really happening with all this stuff, because all the climate stuff is we all know is fake, and so this is the real purpose to destroy our countries and to destroy the infrastructure. They don't build anything anymore.
Yeah, there's absolutely no way that they would have the will to build the interstate system today. The government and its contractors are so hopelessly corrupt they could never afford to do it. But then they even try to pretend that they're going to do that. But of course money is no object when it comes to other things. When it comes to charging station infrastructure or something like,
they don't pay whatever that takes. And by the way, you know in state of Florida, De Santiss pushing over eight million dollars to put chargers in. So, yeah, there is no end of what they're doing. But when you look at what they're doing now in terms of selling the government's increasingly farcical heat pump strategy, says the Daily Skeptic, we'll see that manufacturers are fined up to five thousand pounds for every heat pump they fail to sell below
their quota. Where does this quota come from, Well, they say they want to replace traditional oil and gas boilers with heat pumps that run on electricity. Will play a role in combating and climate change, it says the conservative government in the UK. Rishi Sunac. By the way, the same guy that Trump just said is a genius. Oh that's great. Why, Well, because he pulled back on some of the one carband issue one issue and so Trump, Oh he's a genius, he's a genius. Well, if
you believe that, you're an idiot. So maybe Trump's an idiot, or maybe he's playing you for an idiot, because this is what's coming from Rishi Sunac. One small step backwards, really, but this is the big steps forward. Home heating accounts for about fourteen percent of the UK's total quote unquote carbon emissions. I'm so sick of that term. And unless that comes down, it'll be very hard to get to net zero. Of course, this
article is pushing for that. But here's the trouble that even these people who think are telling you this is a problem, it's the problem that they even they see they said so like a Soviet commissar after a couple of Vodkas too many. The government Rishi Sunac, the genius that Trump said, has just
set a target for next year. Manufacturers will be told how many heat pumps they have to shift based on the number of gas boilers they sell, and they will face fines of up to five thousand pounds for every unit that they fall short by. So if you sell a gas boiler to somebody who wants it, you're going to pay a lot for that, because if they can't sell you know, I don't know how many heat pumps they'll have to sell.
For every gas boiler that they sell but they fall short of that, it'll be five thousand dollars per It's hard to know where this new wheeze of finding companies for not selling enough of a government approved product might end. Oh no, it's not necessarily a government proved it's the government mandated product. Because that's what we're talking about here. This is the way the mandates run out.
And that's the way the mandates were to have been done with Trump, with the vaccines, bribery and blackmail, and you saw a lot of that with the mandates from Biden. Bribery and blackmail, a fine from bureaucrats who rule because there is no law here. These are dictates from the bureaucrats who are still putting out the you know, there's no debate about this, there's nothing else that just you know, this says to go out there, and
it is the bureacrats that are doing it. But it is still they're still doing the will of the politicians who are running this government, and so a future is envisioned where utilities moderate electricity demand via cars and appliances. They're going to suck the juice right out of your EV. And this is something else
that Eric Peters and I have talked about forever. Oh yeah, they're going to they're going to shut down your EV and the way that they're going to use it, and they're already talking about it, mandating it with a Biden administration. They're going to push it through the companies that will then use smart meters and other restrictions on how you can charge your electric car, and they will use all these electric cars and other appliances they say as essentially storage for
the electric grid. When the wind stops blowing, when the stun stops shining, then they will start pulling the electricity out of your car. No problem, right, except that the reason that they're doing this, they're going to be cycling your car up, using your car to store stuff during the day, and then pulling the stuff out of it in the evening. And of course we all know what happens when you cycle these lithium batteries. The more
you cycle them, the shorter their life gets. So they're pushing these costs off on to the people who are buying the electric cars subsidies today, and you're going to pay it back big time tomorrow. It's kind of like what we're talking about with social security stuff, the other you know, earlier in the program. So these cars and appliances will be used for energy storage. The only thing worse than that as these big battery storage places that they're setting
up that are unbelievable fire hazard. That's the approach that they're trying to take care in tennessee example functions of these they call them virtual power plants. The VPPs on the market today include shifting the timing of EV charging to avoid overloading local distribution system equipment, and then dispatching energy from commercial EV batteries back to
the grid. The problem is is that as the EPA is now shutting down these power generation places left and right, there may not be sufficient capacity to even charge your EV so that you can use it during the day. And of course they're going to need to have that story that energy in your car
battery so they can pull it out that night. I'm sure there'll be restrictions on how much you can drive, even during the day, even if you're allowed to charge it, because they're going to need to have that power back later at night. And they will know how much you're driving because they will have the ability to track everything that you do. That's why they're loading these things up with electronics. They will know where you go, how far you
drive, and all the rest of stuff. And if you drive more than they tell you to, you'll get a fine because they're going to need to get that electricity back at the end of the day. Before we take a break, here, let's see. Oh, I've already read those, so we're going to take a break. Do we have Eric yet? One last
thing before we take a break. Lego was virtue signaling about how they were going to use recycle plastic earlier this year, and then they looked at it and they said, well, you know, the problem is is that it's going to be really expensive. We've got a lot of capital costs. We're
going to have to have new machines in order to repurpose this plastic. They talked about that in the summer of twenty twenty one, and after three years of looking at it, they say, well, the belief was the new CEO says, the belief was that it was easier to find this magic material or this new material, that's what he called it, that would solve this sustainability issue. But that doesn't seem to be there. We tested hundreds and
hundreds of materials and it's not impossible to find a material like that. And isn't that what we are seeing with the entire green agenda. It's sold to everybody we have. The sky is falling and we've got some magic new technology that's going to fix everything. So we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Stay with us making sense common again. You're
listening to the David Night Show. All right, welcome back. And joining us now is Eric Peters of ep autos dot com or Eric Peters auto dot com. And a lot of things have come up a lot of articles and interesting things that he's put on his site since we last talked, and I wanted to talk to him about that, but especially interesting to talk to him about all the attention that's been paid to the United Auto Workers strike by politicians. It was Joe Biden who went there. He actually he aced out Trump
and got their first. Trump wanted to go at the same time that the debate was happening so he could have a counter programming of an event. But even during the debate you had Doug Bergham talking about it as well. So you're op ed piece. Thanks for joining us, Eric, good to have you on. Oh, thanks for having me, David. Yeah, and you know it. To his credit, orange Man said the unspeakable thing out
loud. Yes, yes, yeah, what is that unspeakable thing? Well, he talked about how it's not a matter of pay raises, it's about jobs being disappeared by this electrification agenda, which is what my article was all about, and that these UAW people had better get hip to the fact that they're not going to be worrying about cost of living adjustments in thirty two hour workweeks if this thing proceeds apace, because you only need so many workers to
plug in an EV and their jobs are going to be gone because of that. And the underlying premise of all of this, of course, is this green agenda, This this idea we're going to decarbonize everything, and of course we're mate of carbon two, so eventually they're going to decarbonize us. Well, they're talking about the truth about that at least you know that. Yeah, they're just not telling to the whole truth. We understand what it's really
about. It is about a depopulation agenda. But yeah, they're going to decarbonize us as well. You know, it's kind of what this all reminds me of if you're talking about how it's a much simpler manufacturing process, and of course a lot of this is going to be outsourced. We've already seen companies coming in and saying we're going to build the electric skate. Then you're just gonna you know, tack on the body or whatever else that you want
to put on it. And of course that doesn't have to be built here, it'll be built on the places where they've got the minerals, which is
in China, of course. But all this reminds me of the early days of computers, personal computers when you had IBM and you know, they went out when they jumped in the market, they got the operating system from Bill Gates who had already doling it from Digital Research, and then they decided that they would just go with off the shelf components essentially from Intel and that opened
it up for everybody to start making these things. And before you knew it, I mean, you even had some American Indian tribes or manufacturing pieces because anybody could put this stuff together. And that is really kind of what is happening now with the automobile. It used to be very, very complicated, and it got even more complicated because of government regulations about emissions and safety and all the rest of the stuff. So that became a big barrier to competition
for anybody getting into it. But now they have greatly simplified it with these ev things, and it's going to be they're gonna everybody's going to be jumping into it, and of course China's jumping into it in a big way, aren't they. Well, they're going to be homogenizing it. I published a piece earlier today about what Honda is about to do, which is it's going to release its own battery powered appliances beginning in twenty twenty four with a vehicle
called the Prologue and then an accurate derivation of that called the ZDX. And all they are are extruded plastic shells with a Honda badge on them, and underneath of them. They've got the same GM Ultium battery platform that is underneath GM's battery powered appliances, And so it begs the question of why bother, why even have Hondas anymore? You know, Honda is a company that made
its bones and its reputation on its engines, you know. And I go through a my article a number of the more famous engines that Honda had had produced over the years, including the compound vortex combustion chamber engine that it had in the Civic back in the seventies that was so efficient that it didn't even need a catalytic converter to meet federal emissions rgs. And then then you had models like the NSX and the S two thousand, which were like IndyCar race
cars that you could drive on the street. They had ten thousand rpm redlines. There's phenomenal vehicles. Well, they're about to give all that away because who cares. It's just another battery powered appliance. And it's not just Honda, it's all of them. Essentially, they're trying to become the next tesla. But then everybody's making the same thing. So what's the point in having ten or fifteen different companies all making the same thing. Yeah, they're all
just boutique manufacturers. You know, it's going to be a body by fissure and you know, but the same thing underneath all of them. As you point out, they really have had an amazing history. If you stop and think about it, it's kind of like the history of flight, you know, going from the Right Brothers up to the NSX. You know, it's like the supersonic transport. Because at the very beginning of this Honda and you know, even Mazda. Mazda survived, they were just making like farm implements
and some very simple motors and stuff. At the end of World War Two, they were there in Hiroshima and they survived because they were in the shadow of the nuclear bomb that happened. They were on the other side of a mountain and so it didn't blow them away, and they you know, survived
that and built on that. But these a lot of these car companies were just doing lawnmore engines, and then they went to motorcycle engines, and then they started doing small cars, and they started doing very very sophisticated cars. And now everything is going to just be deconstructed and all of that manufacturing expertise
is going to be lost. That's a key thing to me, you know, when they're When Toyota was talking about why they used BMW's model for their new sports car, they said, well, you know, we'd been making all these sports cars, but we haven't done any ourselves for a couple of decades, and we've lost the manufacturing expertise, they said, so we can't do something like the Miata that's done by Mazda. They've been doing this continuously for you know, thirty years or so, but we haven't and we've lost
that manufacturing expertise. So we've got to rely on other people to do that, and it's going to be lost very very quickly, isn't it. Yeah, when you think about it too, because Toyota, you know, it's one of the world's largest car companies. It has been the largest car company
at one point or another. And if they haven't got the wherewithal and the resources to develop their own specific drive trains for a particular vehicle, you know that there's a problem in the industry generally, and these smaller car companies are not going to be able to do it at all. Us right, Yeah, by the way, you know, we look at things that are happening
just from the cyber hacks. Is talking about what happened with the F thirty five, and then the same thing happening with MGM properties in Vegas, and there was Caesar's palace was was hacked and they admitted it. But you know, we've had Toyota that all their manufacturing was shut down a couple of weeks ago, and now the same thing has happened in Volkswagen. They've shut down all of their stuff. All of this electronic stuff is just so vulnerable.
It's not just the batteries, but as they are you know, as we get more and more into computers, whether you're talking about manufacturing or accounting, or you're talking about the computers that are being deeply embedded in every kind of car, everything is becoming incredibly fragile and easily that word was that, Yeah, two levels of fragility. I was going to use exactly that word. And the other aspect of it is a kind of built in obsolescence in that
electronics tend not to age very well. You know, you think about yourself and you buy a new one today, and three years from now, it's going to seem like, I don't like a Beta max from from back in the eighties. That's right, and it probably won't work at all because they deliberately engineered these things so that they can't be updated after a certain point, and so their functionality is diminished. And then the battery stops working, and so what do you do. You don't fix it, You throw it away
and get another one. Yeah. Yeah, it's much worse than the planned obsolescence they used to talk about with the cars that you know, people would you know, they'd last epically like three years and people want to get rid of them. Yeah, but then they stuck around. A lot of people kept them and now they're making them into some very valuable antiques. But you know, it was a big selling point that I remember in the seventies.
Volvo is selling point was you know, hey, our cars average age of the cars in Sweden are eleven years, and it's like, well, it's not necessarily because your Volvos are built so well, it's just because everybody's been made poor by socialism. Well, you know, the interesting thing about the planned obsolescence is that a lot of people don't understand that that really didn't refer to mechanical obsolescence. It was more about trying to keep up with the joneses.
Yes, so for example, General Motors would make the fins bigger one year rather than the prior year, that's right. And the idea was that, you know, you would look over at your neighbor's driveway and see that his car had bigger fins than yours, and that would impel you to go down to the dealer and you know, try to keep up with him by buying whatever the latest is. And then of course next year the fins got
bigger or the grill changed in some other way. But the vehicles were very sound and you could you could keep a fifty five Chevy going for twenty years or longer without that much of a problem. It was mainly about social posturing or quote unquote planned obsolescen that's right, that's right. Yeah, that's still a lot of them driving around here, especially in particular weekends that you say,
that type of thing happening. But yeah, they make it bigger, or they add more chrome, and then next year you got to have it with less chrome, or smaller fins, or no fins at all. It was it was really about style and fashion, and that was a big part of why everybody was changing. Isn't it interesting that now people can't even afford to buy cars alone change them like they would a suit or a tie, because oh, it's getting so crazy. I have this week my my test
card. The vehicle that I'm reviewing as the four to Escape. It's a FOURD Escape and I emphasize that. So it's a little crossover suv. The thing's forty seven thousand dollars. Wow. Wow, that's amazing. That truly is amazing. Well, before we leave the auto workers stuff, right, you had you know Trump. I thought it was amusing because he goes there for a photo op. There's a lot of allegations that he had people.
He goes to this this place that is a parts supplier that has one hundred and fifty employees, and they got five hundred people there and there, and so the question was, well, you know, obviously they brought people from outside the company, but they were holding up UAW signs, and so some of the local press went around and they's people to know, I'm not part of the union. I'm just holding a sign here, you know. So
they're saying this is an astroturve type of thing. But then at the debate, which is why he was there, he didn't want to go to the debate, you had Doug Bergham essentially saying the same thing that Trump had been saying, which is that they're, you know, the auto workers are striking, and it needs to be against the green agenda. And he talks about the very fact that you know, he says, we're subsidizing the cars,
and we're subsidizing a particular kind of car, not every car. We're particularly subsidizing electric vehicles when China is controlling eighty five percent of the rare earth minerals that are going to be needed for these things. And so what we're doing is we're putting our own industry out of business and we're sending it to China. But of course, that's what we've been doing for a long time,
isn't it. Eric. You know, we've been giving them a pass with all this climate stuff, so they can build as many power facilities as they want or refineries, and there's no restrictions on how many they build or how dirty they are. But now it's gotten to the retail level where we say, well, we're just going to send. We're going to prohibit prohibit any manufacturing of this stuff by regulations in the United States. It all must come
from China. Yeah, it's paradoxical, ironical, and it's sad in that these people, these u AW people, do not understand that they're facing an existential threat and in order for them to combat it, they're going to have to come to grips with something that's kind of difficult for them, and that they will have to question this green agenda, which is at the very core of the modern Democrat Party, which is essentially now a party of the elite
left. And you know, the working class people have got to come to understand that that the Democrat Party is the very thing that it used to accuse the Republican Party of being. It is the party of rich, arrogant elites who want to insurf and impoverish the working class. That's right, and the middle class, that's right. That's right. You know. At the same time he's virtually signaling to them, Biden is going there, we're in saying
that the UAW should fight for a forty percent pay raise. And then Elon Musk, who I'm not a big fan of, but Elon Musk gave him a sanity check about that, and you know, of course that doesn't make any economic sense, he says, So they weren't a forty percent pay raise and a two hour work week. It's a sure way to drive gm ford and christs or bankrupt and the fast lane. But of course, you know the fact that everything the minerals and all the restless stuff that they're going to
have to use for this is going to be coming from China. That is a super fast lane for bankruptcy of an entire industry that used to be a cornerstone industry of our prosperity because it was a cornerstone of our manufacturing capacity and ability, and we're losing all that ability and capacity, and we're even losing
our capacity to generate power. Yeah, it's hard to imagine a worse time for the UAW to make these kinds of demands in view of the fact that the affordability of cars has never been worse, and it's getting worse all the time. And it's not just the price of the vehicles themselves, which now average fifty thousand dollars that's the average transaction price of a new car. It's
the cost of money. You know, anybody who's paying any attention knows that interest rates on loans have doubled or more, and so that makes them even
less affordable. And the idea that somehow these car companies are going to be able to pay their workers forty percent more and cut their hours down to a thirty two hour work week, and that that's not going to have any effect on the price of vehicles, and that they're going to somehow continue to make the same money to be able to pay these workers what they want for doing
less work is insane. It's economically illiterate. Well, I think there's something else involved in that, and that is the thirty two hour work week, the four day work week. And we're seeing a big push on this, not just to the UAW, but we're seeing a big push on this in multiple different places. They're doing it in the schools. There's a lot of schools that are pushing for a four day workweek. And then what that does is that puts pressure on the parents to push for a four day work week,
because that's the point of the government schools. For the most for most people, they use them as daycare, as childcare, not they don't care if they educate the kids, just get them out of my hair so I can go to work type of thing. And so that is they're pushing this four day work week. What do you see behind that push for the four day workweek? I talked about this gesture. I'm curious to see what your
take is on Well. My initial reaction is that they're kind of nudging us towards the state of infantilism and dependency where you get your UBI via your CBD digital token provided you're a good, socially obedient little drone. That's exactly what we take on it. Yeah, it's a push to move us to universal
basic income, which is going to also involve CBDC. They want us working from home because you know, if everybody's a zoom worker, then they can they don't even have to bring people in from other countries unless they want more social unrest. But you know, they could just have people in India doing the work, even if it's manual labor, if they got a robot that can be virtually controlled. So I agree with you. I think that's exactly
what this is. People have been given a taste of being given money without having to go to work, and so let's keep that momentum going. You know, Trump kicked that off with a lockdown, So let's keep that going. We'll go to a thirty two hour work week, and of course, you know, maybe we'll pay the people less, maybe we'll replace them with foreign workers who don't actually have to come here. They can stay foreign well. And there's a level of defeatism among the young in particular, and it's
quite understandable. You know, I wrote an article the other day about what's happening in the real estate market and how even in my area, the cost of housing has gotten to the point. I live in a rural area. I should I should predicate that with so it used to be an affordable area, but now houses, little houses, little eleven hundred square foot houses are selling for three hundred thousand dollars. And this is an area where the typical
individual makes twenty five thousand dollars. The family income is about forty five thousand dollars. People can't afford that, let alone. You know, at twenty five year old just coming out of you know, college or whatever, is just trying to build his life, and they end up living at home.
They just give up and so they don't want to have a they're not going to have a car, they're not going to have a house, They're going to be rendered perpetually dependent and playing games on video station and so why not get their you know, HUBI and just give up on life and that's what they want ultimately, Yeah, I agree. I think we need to seriously look at defunding the schools because I think that's a big part of this.
When I was in Texas, there was entire schools that were basically just people who had come here illegally. And we look at what is happening in Baltimore, paying thirty one thousand dollars a year for the kids, and in forty percent of the schools there's not a single kid who is proficient in math.
And those standards are not very high, they're very low, right, yeah, exactly exactly, And so you know, forty percent of them, not forty percent of school is not a single student can do supermarket math and we're paying thirty one thousand dollars a year for that. That kind of you know, you know, the dreamer is coming here, Well, it's destroying the American dream and it's an incredible burden on everybody, this government institution of schools,
and they're destroying our society at the same time. We've got to somehow find a way to shut that thing down. I think where it's going to really destroy us economically as well as intellectually and spiritually in every other way that you can measure it. The schools are a dead albatross around the neck of this country. Absolutely completely agree with that. But I do think that the
wheel is turning and that realization is dawning. To get back to the EV thing, I was reading something about what's happening in Europe and Germany in particular, and people are not buying these evs, and Mercedes is extremely worried about their business model going forward, having embraced this electrification agenda, and they're, you know, basically saying, well, what are we going to do if
people don't buy these things? And that's happening here as well. You know, all are aware of what's going on with Ford and the debacle of Jim Farley and his embarrassing attempt to drive a lightning across the country and it was an epic fail, and then Grandholm essentially trying to do the same thing people are cluing into what's going on. You know, at last, finally, it took him a long time, but I do think the wheel is turning.
Yeah, that's true. And you know the garbage thing that Granholm did the Energy Secretary as she decided she's going to take a cross country drive on the EVS as well, and you know it may have been to try to highlight, oh well, we got a problem here. So that means we need more money, and we need more personnel, and we need more infrastruct for this particular thing. I think that's where our purpose was. The Ford guy was trying to, you know, show people out worked. I think
her purpose was to show people how it's not working. But they've now launched a probe into her because she was faking this thing. But of course, you know, the probes are going to be nothing other than a dog and pony you know, show by somebody in Congress to be able to criticize her and get their face on TV. Nothing has ever done about any of this stuff. They don't pull any of this stuff back. They just continue to go along with what everybody else is pushing out there. It's a bipartisan pushing.
We need to understand that just like in the UK. I was talking earlier about how the Conservatives are pushing through all these mandates to ban gas furnaces and gas stows and to rip up the gas lines that are buried in the ground. I mean, they're destroying every one of these countries being destroyed by our own governments. Our own governments are at war with us over this climate mcguffin, just like they were at war with us over the so called pandemic.
Mcguffin. Yeah, And the key thing here is to simply race the question why, why what are we doing this for? Let's talk about this this so called climate crisis, which I like to harp on the fact that they had to change the verbiage. They have to change the verbiage every so
often because it becomes impossible to continue to maintain the narrative. You know, Initially they would talk about global warming, but while the records and the data didn't bear that out, you know, so they had to shift it around to this climate change, which can encompass anything. And now instead of talking about carbon dioxide, they're talking about carbon to try and flim flam people into equating it with something dirty like graphing, you know, a graphite. It's
just it's so fundamentally oily. And you get back to this whole business of the schools and the enumeracy. You know, you ask somebody, well, okay, you want to talk about the climate crisis. What's the percentage of the Earth's atmosphere of it's carbon dioxide right now? And invariably they have no
idea. And when you tell them it's zero point zero four percent, you know, and then they look at you and then you say, okay, so you're telling me that some of a fractional increase or decrease of that amount is going to have some kind of a crisis level effect. Yeah, oh yeah, given the headlights, yeah exactly. Yeah, that does not compute. And there was another piece I just saw. You know, there's about
sixteen seventeen hundred scientists who got together and said this is fake. But one of the things that they said, and again, you know, that doesn't make it true or false because you've got a large number of people, because you've got Nobel Prize winners or whatever. You had a large number of people, and you had several of them, there were Nobel Prize winners. But the key point was one thing that a guy said, which is just as
important as the minuscule amount of carbon dioxide. And he said, we're being told by the IPCC from the UN, you know, the Inner International Panel on Climate Change or something like that, and they're the ones pushing this stuff for the UN. He said, we're being told that there's a difference in man made versus natural carbon dioxide. And he goes, please explain to me how you know, when you've got one atom of carbon two of oxygen,
how there's any difference in that. But they're saying that if it's man made, it's going to be different because it's going to last four hundreds or thousands of years. With natural stuff it precipitates out in like three years. But the man made stuff is going to be there forever and it's going to continue to ac came a wait, this is utter nonsense. It's totally devoid.
Living in idiocracy. We are we're living in idiocracy. Yeah, all this furry stuff and you know, the transgender stuff and everything is how they get people there. You know, everything has got to be subjective, and they're pushing that subjectivity. That two plus two equals five, that's probably one of the questions on that math test in Baltimore. But you know, it's not even idiocy, it's idiocy with a purpose, and it's an evil purpose.
Yes, they have deliberately dumbed down the populace so that the populace is vulnerable and susceptible to the kind of propaganda that they're peddling and the hysterics that they're peddling. And this is all being done not to save the earth or the
environment any of that stuff. It is about establishing this hierarchical system of control, well, the technocratic managerial elite at the very apex of the pyramid and the rest of us living a very impoverished and surfed lifestyle where we're not allowed to do anything without permission and we're very grateful if we've got to ze bugs to eat. And that's it. Yeah, that's exactly it. Let's talk
about something that is nostalgic and kind of fun. You've got an article here at Pontiac is racist, And earlier in the program, I had a thing about this guy who's giving up on being a trucker. He's just so frustrated with all the regulations and everything there. But I introduced it with the east bound and down the people could see the trans am there, and I said, yeah, Eric's got one of those, and one of the one of the listeners said, yeah, that's the only good trans out there is the
trans Am. I talked about Pontiac being racist, Well, any any iconography associated with a Native Americans, American Indians somehow has become racist. We're all familiar with the way the Washington Redskins had to change their name first to the Washington football team and now the Washington Commanders, even though they should be the the Washington Tilferers or some other such things like that. Uh. But and it's all being pushed by these these neurotic, woke left people. It's not.
It's not being pushed by the American Indians themselves, who loved the Redskins because of the positive associations that were conjured by the you know, the image of the noble warrior going out to fight on the field, and the same with Pontiac. It wasn't as though it was some kind of a an Amos and Andy routine. You know, they used the iconography of Chief Pontiac,
who was a figure from the French and Indian war. Uh, to to be the face, if you will, of Pontiac as a brand to conjure the noble chief, you know, leading the way, and it was wonderful and people liked it. And it's just a very sad thing. And that's a good thing that Pontiac, I guess was put out of its misery. Uh, you know back in when two thousand, I'm trying to remember. I can't remember exactly, but it's been about ten years since Pontiac got retired.
Because if they were still around today, I'm sure that there would be some woke left mob demanding that they changed their name to some other thing because somebody is outraged and offended by the the term in the image. Well, it's interesting you have the background of Chief Pontiac, which I didn't know, you know, but it's very much like you mentioned, the French and Indian War, very much like Last of the Mohicans, you know, James Finn
or Cooper. They could have called it the Chegungchuk. Well, that would have been a bit of a tongue twister. But Pontiac was there. He was an Indian chief in the Detroit area. Fort Detroit was where he was and so that was a natural secutor there for people with their in Michigan to name it after this highly regarded Indian chief leader, you know, military leader who had been allied with the US. But I guess that makes him evil as well, right, he was allied apparently. So you know, you
had these really cool things associated with Pontiac, the car brand. You know, in the thirties and the forties, they had the glowing chief hood ornament that was highly stylized and led the wayne, and you had the famous arrowhead and all these other things that were as a matter of fact that let me let me interject here, because I've got a picture of the head, the Pontiac head that and I when I saw your article, it made me think
about my grandfather's car. He had one of these Pontiac chieftains or something like that. The only thing I remember about the car was this hood ornament that has this like amber head of the Indian, you know, Pontiac. I thought that was the coolest thing because I was maybe about four or five years old, and it was the only thing I ever remember, But I never
forgot that. I got a couple of different pictures of it. It's such a cool thing, and it had a lot of chrome holding supporting this head, but then the head was projecting out this is the way the car looks. The car was not all that great, but that that Indian head that was there was really impressive. And I never forgot that. When I saw this article about Pontiac is like, yes, I gotta get that a picture of that. Yeah. Yeah, it's things like that that created this emotional
bond between people in their cars. I might one of my earliest memories of cars is looking underneath the hood of my parents' Oldsmobile ninety eight that they had back in the seventies. And I looked at this gigantic air cleaner and it said rocket eighty rocket four fifty five on it, and I remembered that to this day, and that was like the first thing I thought, Wow, that's really neat, and I wanted to see what was under the air cleaner.
And you know, look fast forward here I am today. Well, they wouldn't even make the tail lights and stuff on like on the Thunderbirds that make them look like they were rocket turbines or something. Now, yeah, you could just imagine it coming out of the back, but yeah, it was. It was a lot of fun. They tried all kinds of things in terms of styling. Some of them worked, some of them didn't. You know, some of them look really comical and retrospect, but some of
them still look really cool in retrospect when you look at it. But it goes beyond that, you know, yeah, go ahead. We had this tremendous variety which you can see if you go to an old car show today. You know, lines and lines of cars, each one profoundly different from the one that's sitting next to it. And that's a measure of what we lost. You know, people complain now about how everything looks the same. Ind I've got this great graphic of a of a I guess, about a
dozen different new crossover SUVs of various brands. They're all white, and they all look exactly the same. Well, I mean, and it's true. But you know, it's going to be even worse than that, to get back to what we were talking about earlier, when not only do they look the same, but they literally are the same, and they just have the same electric drive crans with that that basically homogenized plastic extruded body draped over them
with a different badge, or you can pick whatever color you like. Maybe you won't have to get white. You could get a silver one if you like. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's what we have become now. And I've joked about that. You know, it's interesting that, uh, you know, we used to have cars of all different types of colors. Now everything is black, white, shades of gray with an occasional red.
That's basically what you see. They've got some retro Dodge chargers and stuff that are orange or green or purple or something like that, but for the most part, it's all, you know, shades of gray and an occasional red car. That's there. I used to joke or joked with the kids. I said, yeah, back when I was growing up, TV was black and white, but the cars are technicolor Nascar. Yeah, it's very soviet.
And I found out something interesting, by the way, because I've noticed it, you know, you've noticed that so many other people have noticed, and I got to wondering why, And in the course of doing a little bit of research about the Carside review, I've discovered that they are now charging a lot of money for other colors than silver, black and white, you know, like like seven hundred, twelve hundred dollars to get something other than that in a lot of cases. And so that's why you see so many
cars that are silver, white, and black. Wow. Okay, well yeah, that makes sense that if they're going to make it, something's part of that. But before we get away from the Indians and everything, I like what you had to say. You know, you said as they purged the Redskins, you say in your article as if fans of the Redskins were mocking American Indians when they cheered for the Redskins. Of course they're not. They're seeing them as cool, you know, like the Vikings or whatever or
raiders or pirates or whatever. They're not mocking them, you know. And you say, most American Indians understood the Redskin name and image. We're meant to honor the bravery and the spirit of the American Indian warriors in battle. And the Redskins, like any other professional football team, played to win. They didn't play to mock. And that's the key thing, right that's makes it so incredibly stupid about all this stuff. And yet you see now with
Taylor Swift and this football player that she's dating. I saw an article because every site that I go to, they've got something about Taylor Swift and the football player. And so one of the articles that came up, somebody was saying, well, maybe Taylor Swift can use her influence to get them to stop doing the tomahawk chalk chop. I's like, why why would you want
to stop the tomahawk chalk in my first place? There? This is all part and parcel of this effort to just suck the joy out of life completely. We're all supposed to be basically dodd in the proverbial jesuitical hair shirt and flagellate ourselves for existing. Yeah, you know, I remember when I was growing up. You know, we had neighborhood schools. They're all close together.
And the junior high school the mascot was a warrior, right, so it's like the Warriors and and and then when you go to the high school, which is just a couple of blocks down, that was the Chiefs, and that was, you know, something that was had big Indian chief head that was on the outside of the school. They're in Tampa's Chamberlain High School.
And even the liberal Democrat mayor was pushing back on She went to Chamberlain, and she was pushing back on She said, you know, they're going to spend like one hundred thousand dollars to take this thing down and put some other mask out up there. She goes, but leave it alone. You know. It was fine. And she's a you know, a Democrat, liberal, hard left liberal. But you know, you had you went from being a warrior up to a chief. And of course in the band they
had the girls that were dancers. They all had these big chieftain head dresses and stuff. They call them chief. And then that we had drum majors that were not dressed up in military uniform, but they were old. People
would have a fit about this. They were shirtless and before the game they would rub them down with this stuff called Texas dirt, so they had redskins, and then they would put war paint over them and they had a head dress that went all the way down to the ground and then they would run around nity. Oh yeah, I mean it. It would be like blackface today, you know. I mean they would flip out if they saw this. But it was great. You know, we had the coolest drum majors
of any of the schools that were there had a couple of times. At one time stabbed one of the bass drums because they'd run and swoop, but they with a spear because they had a spear. But it was it was a lot of fun. And then from that, you know, you go from junior high school warriors to the Chamber in chiefs and then you would go a lot of them went to FSU which were the Seminoles, and they tried to change that mascot, and the Seminole tribe there in Florida said, no,
don't do that. We liked that. You know, it wasn't just a generic red skin, it was a specific Indian tribe and they really liked it. They were on by that. They got it, they understood it. Yeah. The thing to understand here is these people will never be satisfied and they're not really aggrieved. This is all just a cavalcade of convenience. That's right. You placate them with one. Uh, we'll defer to you on this. Okay, we'll take down our mascot, we'll change our name.
It's never enough, there's always something else, because the whole point of this is to maintain this ongoing sense of agreevement that that somebody has been wrong, that somebody's been victimized, and you owe us something because you did this. That's right, Yeah, And it's it's very much like if you do their their pronouns, they're going to come back at you with something else, you know, because it's not about any of that stuff. It's about you
submitting to them. And so if you submit to their pronouns, the next thing they're going to have you submitting to the furries or whatever other crazy thing they come up with. It's about your submission, and it will always be something else and as always pushing us further and further away from reality, because
that's really the key thing for them. You know, if you don't know anything, and if you live in this fantasy world, then you're going to be very easily controlled in a virtual reality or with video games, or with drugs or with sex or whatever it is that they want to throw at you. And actually Yuval Harari has actually taunted people by saying that quiet part out loud. He said, yeah, we're going to control people with drugs and virtual reality and video games and all the rest of this stuff. Well,
they're already doing it. Yeah, you look at you look at teenagers and what are they looking at? Invariably they're pecking at that stupid phone. Even when they get together, you watch them, you know, a group of them, instead of them talking to each other, they're all sitting there at the same physical place, but each of them is occupied pecking at their individual
phone. That's right. Yeah, I think it's funny too as you go through the different models, you know, in terms of thinking about what they have picked up with this stuff, the Oldsmobile cutlass. Now there's a pirate thing, you know, Yeah, you know, I guess you know they've they've now got liberal pirates now in Oakland. You know, they had the Oakland Raiders, but now they've got literal pirates who are attacking people in their
boats and stealing everything they can and thinking the rest of it. And the police and they say, well, we don't know, that's not our jurisdiction. We can't do anything about it. It's like that's the buck on stuff like that. Sure, it's a clown show, and it's time for us
to pull a curtain on it and say enough is enough. On so many levels, you know, for example, we've gotten to where we are with regard to cars, to a great extent because we accepted the premise that you know, there's a pollution problem, there's an emissions problem, and that's that
was true at one time. It's not true anymore. And I think the way to solve this problem is to demand cost benefit analysis and to say, Look, it's one thing to say a car it needs to have an exhaust scrubber, a catalytic converter, that maybe it adds three hundred dollars to the price of the car, but it reduces the harmful pollutions by by fifty percent, really fifty percent, not fifty percent one percent, as opposed to some new thing that they're going to have to do to a vehicle to achieve a
less than less than half a percent difference change in some so called a mission at a cost of fifteen hundred or two thousand dollars. It's absurd. You should be You should the government, if it's going to have these regulations, ought to be obliged to establish improve that. Look, first of all, here's the problem. Secondly, what we're proposing is going to meaningfully improve or ameliorate that problem at a reasonable cost, and if not, it shouldn't happen.
Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I can attest to the fact that, you know, I was driving a convertible back in the nineteen seventies and I had a little spitfire, and you know, it was not an uncommon thing at all. It's actually, you know, half of the cards you'd get behind him, it's like whoa, you know, it's just events exhaust coming from them. I still drive convertibles, and my convertible and uh, and that never happens anymore. I never smell anybody's exhaust. It is a
non problem. And you know, they're just they're grasping at straws, and it's just the metastasizing bureaucracy trying to control and destroy everything. That's really what we're seeing here. You know, well, they could never concede that mission accomplished, right, that's right. You know, the ep has been around now for about fifty years, and if they were to say, well, you know, we did a really good job. Ninety nine points something and
that's actually the number. Ninety nine points something percent of what comes out of the exhaust pipe of a new car is water, vapor, and carbon dioxide, neither of which have any effect on the environment, and therefore our mission
is accomplished. We don't need to worry about this stuff anymore. They'll never do that because think how many people are earning their living, their livelihood that way, how many lobbyists are involved, how many you know, just ripple effects throughout the economy, how many bucks are being made off of these scams. So instead of acknowledging that they fix the problem, they have to magnify the problem to justify not only what they're doing, but what they want to
do in the future. Yes, and of course I know it's stress too that that's especially true of diesels as well. There aren't any diesel cars that you smell anymore either. They have taken care of that. Of course, you know they're taking care for the most party, getting rid of diesels, but you know they are still out there and you don't smell anything from them either. They're running perfectly clean. They've gone through an incredible amount of expense
to clean that up, but it is clean. And so these are problems that are not problems. And the EPA, which was originally set up to you to protect the environment everything, they're just looking for whatever they can do. Now. They're shutting down power plants based on emissions that you can't tell anything about. You know, you drive by these power plants, you're not gonna smell anything, You're not gonna see smoke coming out of them. They're
clean. They're not like the ones in China and India, which they care absolutely nothing about. They never cared about it. In the Paris Climate Accord in twenty fifteen, they said, built as many of these you want, We don't care how dirty they are. Well, if you're talking about a global problem, then you would care about that, And some of the true believers did care about that at the time. But they don't care about any
of that stuff. They just want to shut everything down. And it's just amazes me that so many people cannot see that that is really the true agenda, just to destroy our lives. Before we the Pontac thing though, you mentioned also the firebird being an American Indian mythological figure. Of course you've got the firebird and you've got that that figure there, But I just you know,
you're talking about all this other stuff. It's like, yeah, it really thought about how many different ways Pontiac could tied in the Indian culture into their cars and in a very positive way. You know. Everybody liked that, yes, and they made some of the most uh you know, iconic cars in the history of the automobile. You know, one of the most obvious ones being the very first muscle car, which was the nineteen sixty four Pontiac gto There had been fast cars before that, but there had not been
fast inexpensive cars. You know. The genius of John to Lorian, who ran the company back then, was to take basically an economy car it was a Tempest, and put the big engine from the Bonneville into the Tempest and sell it for cheap. So now you didn't have to be a rich old man to have a fast car. And you know, I mean they think just sold like you know, like like pancakes and boom. Everybody else wanted to have one too, and so you had this great muscle car craze.
And then of course the government shut that down, but Pontiac's still persevered, you know, through the seventies the Transam and the Firebird was one of the most popular cars on the road. Of course, government managed to kill that off too by forcing Pontiac to stop building its own engines, so the Transam just became basically a reskinned Camaro, and it lingered on for a few more years, but it eventually died, and along with it, so did Pontiac.
Yeah. Yeah, you even mentioned the the shaker scoop. I remember those things. I remember that in those cars as well as in Mustangs. That was a lot of fun. You know, big hole in the in the hood and the and a big scoop coming up through it that you saw the vibration of the Indian of the engine in it. It was. Yeah.
Even better. Mind's got a flapper door, so it's vacuum vacuum actuated, so as you get on the gas, that door just kind of candlelevers open, and you know, then you hear the quadra jet secondaries opening up, and it's just the best thing ever. Oh that's great, that's really good. Yeah, you know, we look at this. They just keep moving this this forward, and I guess the question is, you know,
what are we gonna do. I guess we've got to. We've got some really good hardware this out there in cars, and I think really the business of the future is going to be people who can do repair and people who can make the auto parts, you know, kind of like Jay Leno has I think going to see repurposing of some of the three D printers and things like that. Perhaps I don't know, But then again, the next part of that is going to be how do we get the fuel. Are we
going to be able to have micro refineries. I'd like to see that we've got micro breweries, and we got here in Tennessee. They made it legal for people have like moonshine type of places. That's really taken over the tourist areas around here. What we need is to make it legal for people to do their own fuel, because they're not going to build anywhere refineries at all, you know, you know, I mean, I'm not a big fan of ethan all when it's being forced on us, and you know the form
of the ethanol mandates. However, you know, you can make alcohol out of corn and other such things, and you can easily convert an engine that was designed to run on gasoline to run on alcohol. So that may be something we're going to have to learn to deal with two in the future. Yeah. Yeah, Instead of a still up in the mountains for moonshine, you have it for fuel for your car, you know, And then all
those things died together. You know, all the bootleg masscar drivers that cut their teeth on running alcohol, maybe they'll do it in terms of running fuel. Who knows what will happen. You've got an op ed piece here why I'm a Libertarian. You know, I think it's kind of interesting to look at this, especially in light of the fact that you had RFK Junior makes some overtures to the Libertarian Party, and some of the people there at the
party talked about that as well. Dennis Cassenter said, no, no, no, no, he's not gonna run as the third party candidate. He's going to run as a Democrat. I think that's kind of interesting. What
do you think in terms of our K JR. I haven't been involved in Libertarian Party for about twenty five thirty years, and you know, I know that when I was there, you know, they had the leadership was open to anybody, and you know, they would like to see somebody that was very popular and famous come in because they wanted to get the vote totals. But when I was there, the people and the party they would be very very factious and doctor naire and if somebody was not towing the line exactly,
it's like, no way you're going to get this nomination. I don't really see that happening from that standpoint, even if he wanted to do it. What do you think, Well, let's see rfk's first of all, not a libertarian, but then neither is a libertarian party at this point anymore. However, I will say this about about RFK Junior. I think he's not a psychopath, And you know that carries a lot of weight with me.
And I look at, you know, the Orange Man and his pathological narcissism, and I look at that thing that wanders around in front of the teleprompter in DC. Who's even worse? And I think to myself, you know, the bar is now so low. I would just play somebody who isn't completely out of their mind with evil and who actually speaks in complete sentences and can be reasoned with. And so I you know, I don't have an
issue with RFK. In fact, when I was when I was out running earlier today, I thought to myself, you know we were really great. Is if RFK and and Orange Man got together and decided that they would each run as an independent and thereby cut out the Republicans and the Democrats and then we could end the whole sham in a really public way. Oh that'd be good, imagine, yeah, yeah, because of those political parties that are
so corrupted. You certainly see that with RFK Junior, the way that they play with the rules, and you know, well, you know, we're going to set the order this year so that it helps our feeble candidate out front Biden and all the rest of this stuff. And if you campaign in some of these areas early on, then we're going to take all your votes away from you. Crazy stuff like that. But Trump is doing the same type of thing. Trump is going his organization is going into various states and
saying it's going to be a winner take all. So if he comes out with you know, fifty and a half percent, he will get all the delegates instead of a proportionally added so that will make him get past the post faster than anybody else. And of course they can do this because the parties are making the rules. The parties decide who's going really to run, and the parties decide who's going to get into debates, and the parties decide who's
going to get on the ballots and all the rest of the stuff. It's one of the reasons why we have no real choices in this because of these corrupt political parties that are controlling everything. Well sure and on you know, either depending doesn't matter what you're talking about. The Democrats of the Republicans. These as institutions. They're antithetical to people like Trump, who is not one of the you know, the good old boys inside the club, and they're
antithetical to RFK. You know, the arrogance of these people on the left who constantly lecture us about our democracy and they won't even put the senile old tele file in the same room with RFK to have a debate. So much for our democracy, right, yeah, that's right. Yeah, well, you know, yeah, the two of them, the two guys who have been president, do not want to run on their record. That should tell
us everything we need to know about this. But you mentioned earlier, you know, he said, yeah, the Libertarians are not even libertarian, the ones at the top of the ballot. And it was one thing that just absolutely amazed me in twenty twenty was the fact that the Libertarian candidate Joe Jorgenson was out there she didn't care at all about the lockdowns and the masks and the closures. That was not even an issue to her, and it really
was an issue to most of the libertarians that were running. It was. There was one guy, I think his first name was Donald, but Rainwater was his name. He was in Indiana and he started talking pushing back against all this stuff, and he shot up into double digits, and so I tried to interview him and he's like, no, no, I don't want to do any interviews. It's almost like I'm scared him because he was getting
up high. I have subsequently since I had this program, within this last year, I interviewed him because he's running for something, and he's a very smart guy and he's very libertarian. But you know, there's I don't know if now he's gotten over the fear that he might get elected. We don't. I don't understand how you can be a libertarian without accepting as your foundational principle leading other people alone period as you know, as a general idea.
It's kind of like claiming that you're a Christian without believing in Jesus. It's just absurd. Call yourself something else instead of pretending to be what you're not. That's right, yeah, and you know, she's still got over one percent, which I remember when I was involved in it, that was everybody was very excited that there had been I think it was Ed Clark who got one percent of nineteen eighty or something, and so that had been the benchmark.
Even Ron Paul when he ran as a Libertarian, I only got about, you know, four hundred thousand votes or something like that. And so, you know, the people are getting are more and more open to a
third party. It's just that the ballots are closed to third parties. Yeah, and the Libertarian Party is about the only party that has the ability to get on the ballots because that's what they have been focused on, and that's almost exclusively focused on getting on the ballot, and they've been pretty successful in it. But they haven't been successful in anything else other than getting on the ballot because it's such a herculean effort, and no other third party can even
come close to getting on the ballot a number of places. Yeah, that's right, And you know, I tend not to look at this as something that ought to be pursued politically. I look at this as more something that ought to be pursued intellectually. Philosophically and morally, if we could get enough people to accept the idea, hey, you own you, I own me. Let's agree to deal with each other voluntarily and peacefully. Let's not take each other's stuff, Let's not try to force other people to do what we
want them to do. Let's live and let live. If we could get back to that idea, which is a very Christian idea, by the way, you can get back to that, I think that the political stuff would
solve itself. Yes yesterday I talked to Connor Boyak, who is the guy who would Tuttle Twins, and those books are focused mainly on economics and politics from a libertarian perspective, you know, taking apart socialism, anything for as he put it, for young elementary school kids and politicians of that mentality, you know, and and so. And one of the first things that he said, I absolutely one hundred percent agree with it. He said, we
focus everything on the presidential race, and we talk about that. There are some you know, hopefully there's some issues that present themselves because of that, but he said that's the area where we can have the least effect. And so what he's done besides his books he's also got an organization there in the state that works on state level issues, and he's been able to get more than a hundred laws passed there in the state of Utah that actually increase freedom
and free markets and things like that. Where he says, you know, when he's worked with Mike Lea to get Mike le elected, and he said, you know, he said, I'm not saying that he's doing a bad job. It's just that you can't get really get anything done by getting one senator elected, and you really can't get anything done by getting a president elected.
And neither the people in Congress nor the president really want to go you throw themselves on the barbed wire and take the hits for this stuff and get it done. They all want to push this stuff off to the bureaucracy, which is how we got into the situation where the bureaucracy and the judiciary are controlling everything. They don't want to take in responsibility for anything, so they're more than happy to abdicate that power to somebody else. Well, sure,
and we've got this more fundamental problem too. If people thinking that it's okay to vote for or support a politician to get the government to use its power. It's forced to do things that would be criminal if they did them themselves. Yes, yes, that is exactly the point, yep. And there was an interesting in terms of talking about that. Reason had an interesting take on you know, Trump went to South Carolina and somebody presented him with a
pistol that had his face card on the handle. Oh, I love this, everybody loves it. I've got to buy this. And then his campaign manager said he did buy it. And then people said, well, he's not allowed to buy it because he's been indicted for felonies and that's a prohibition, and so they through all this whole thing. Reason had a good take
on it. Reason said, well, you know, if you stop and think about this, that's essentially the same law that Hunter Biden is being accused of, right because you've got to say I'm not even indicted for a felony. I'm not a convict, and I'm not indicted. You have to also say I'm not a drug addict and I'm not a user of drugs, and so you know. So and their point was that a lot of people will
excuse it for the guy that they like. The Democrats will excuse this for Hunter and the Republicans will excuse it for Trump and say he shouldn't be punished for any of this stuff. And yet the reality is is that you know, the law itself is wrong, and the atf itself is wrong. You shouldn't have people, for non violent stuff not be able to own a gun or purchase a gun legally, that law in and of itself is wrong, and yet people will not come together to oppose that from both sides of political
spectrum. Instead, they'll use it as a weapon against the other guy on the other side. Yeah, and that's a moral failing, and it leads you to be vulnerable. Essentially. This is why we have this sort of given this hyena tug over a piece of meat at every election, because you're voting in the hope that a you'll be able to use the government to force your neighbor to do what you want him to do, and also so he won't get the power to do the same to you in return. That's an
awful way to have to live your life. It is, It really is. And you know, like I've said many times when I was trying to explain libertarianism to people, I would say, well, freedom is one thing you can't have unless you give it to other people, you know, And it's kind of like, you know, the Golden rule or whatever. There's all these different ways that you can try to explain it. But today the society has become so polarized. And that's the thing. The big issue that
I have with Trump is that they've become polarized over him. He's such a polarizing figure that they're making him an Mason Dixon line of a new civil war. And that's my real concern about all this stuff. And it's why, you know, when you look at these all these indictments, obviously they're going
way over the top on him while they let other things go. But we've seen this with the people that he inside it that in diced and told to come January the sixth, and then abandoned them and left them twisting in the wind. You know, these people have been given extreme punishments that are way beyond anything that is justified by anything that happened. And Joe Bigso I used to work with seventeen years in prison and he didn't get violent with anybody.
This is absolutely insane, and this is the way they've weaponized this system and they really are trying to push us into a civil war. I think, yeah, well, and they're getting it closer and closer all the time.
I thought it was noteworthy as we're having these impeachment inquiries in the House, especially no coverage of it on any of the major networks, as opposed to the twenty four seven endless harangues that were occurring whenever Adam Shift would say something about you know, Russia, influence Russia and misinformation with regard to Trump, and what they're doing by doing that is causing people on Trump's side of the
aisle to become absolutely enraged and apoplectic about what's happening to their guy. Yes, they want to stoke it up, and you know, and and Trump is actually, I think happy to see that happen because he raises money off of his off of his indictments. I mean, you know, millions of dollars off of these indictments. Every time another one comes. It's like it's
a big fundraising opportunity for him. James Carville, the Democrats when they said they're going to begin impeachment hearing z of Biden, he goes, I can't believe are good for how do we get this lucky that they're going to impeach Biden because he knows it is going to help him as well. And you're talking about the way the media is skewing this stuff. You know, five million dollar bribe for Biden and another you know how they're going to split this
thing up. They've got the emails, they've got this all, all this stuff memorialized in terms of FBI documents going back to June of twenty twenty, you know, several months before the election. And so you know, in the House, they're showing that this is memorialized by the FBI. They're showing emails that they got from Hunter Biden's laptop. And yet all I hear from the establishment media is well, there's nothing there. There's absolutely nothing. And
it's like, are you kidding me? It was mailed to his house, and Anderson Cooper says, well, that doesn't prove anything. If it doesn't fit, you must have quit. Yeah, that's kind of like there was a scene from Working Girl where she comes home and she finds her husband in bed with somebody else and he gets up. Mels, it's not what you think, it's that's what these people are doing with Hunter Biden. Yes, and with everything. I mean, it's just beyond the point of absurdity as
you see the stuff rolling forward. But it's always great talking to you, Eric, if we didn't get a chance to get into all your prep stuff. But we're pretty much run out of time. I got a couple of
comments that I need to read before we do run out of time. But thank you so much for joining us again, folks, if you want great commentary on mobility, which is a foundational thing for liberty but also liberty mobility, and he talks about real cars that you can still kind of afford, and some of them they're starting to get more and more expensive, but I mean in not talking about the hypercars that only the gazillionaires will be able to
afford. But again, Eric Peters autos dot com or ep autos dot com a great place to get information about one of the key things that keeps us free and that is our car. Thank you so much, appreciate it. Thank you, David, Thank you so before we end here, Guard Goldsmith, thank you, guard on rock Fan, thank you for the tip. He says best from New Hampshire. David, you have the finest audience around.
I do. We've got great people there. We'll be listening gathering friends here to prepare for the Monday sentencing of our friend radio host Ian Freeman regarding his crypto exchange business. I remember we talked to guard about that, and I need to get you on to talk about that and give us an update as well. Sending prayers and love to him and to your family at all and your great circle of friends. Yes, people need to pray about that.
It certainly is an abuse of power that is happening. They're in New Hampshire. Well, we're at the end of the week and we're at the end of the month, and I just want to thank everybody who has contributed to us. I have not updated the gas gauge yet, but it hasn't moved that much since we did the matching funds a week ago from super Face, so I do appreciate that. But I will get that updated if anybody is curious about it. I'm going to go buy the post office today.
We'll update it with what has come in the mail as well as what has come in through ZEL in the last week or so. But thank you so much for your support of this program. We could not do that without you, and have a great weekend. We'll see you on Monday and we'll ride through this thing next Wednesday, October the fourth together. Okay, have a good we can. Let me tell you the David Night Show. You can listen to with your ears. You can even watch it by using your eyes.
In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to the David Night Show right now. Yeah, good job. And you want to know something else. You can find all the links to everywhere to watch or listen to the show at the David Nightshow dot com. That's a website.
