Fri 19Apr24 David Knight Show UNABRIDGED

Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes thirteen, it's Friday, the nineteenth of April. You're of our Lord, twenty twenty four. We're going to be in today with what is happening in the House and the Senate as these war bill come to a head, because it reveals truly does the uniparty, and it shows the influence of the money and also the staff. We're going to take a look

at who the staff is. That shows what Johnson is doing. But a key thing about this is there's no longer even a pretense of caring about the border and an election year think about that. That's where the Republicans are, that they don't even pretend to care about the border in an election year. We'll also take a look at the climate mcguffin ghost weather stations. That's right, they don't even exist. A large number of the weather stations are using

to push this climate change stuff. And we have besides EPA trying to ban cards, we have a new agency trying to get in on it, and the Senate pushing back to nullify a bureaucratic rule. Well, that's an interesting approach. We'll be right back. Well, I want to begin with a

correction. Yesterday, as I was talking about the massive amounts of money being given to Speaker Johnson, twenty million dollars in his first quarter as speaker, first full quarter as speaker, and I was comparing it to the amounts of money that were spent on the presidential campaigns, just going back to twenty twenty, one hundred million for George W. Bush, altogether seventy million for Kerrie who I'm sorry Al Gore who accused Bush of buying the election. You know,

he's spending fifty percent more than me. He spends one hundred I spend seventy million, And here we are with Johnson in just one quarter twenty million dollars. But I said billion, and so I had a lot of people write me about especially yet Mark was I think the first and most detailed to catch it. Yeah, because since we're talking about trillions so much anymore.

Thirty four trillion dollar deficit, and we went from a ten billion dollar deficit fifteen years ago when Obama took office in two thousand and nine, we went from a ten billion dollar culative debt to now thirty four trillion dollar cumulative debt. So, like I said, it's like having a credit card stolen from you by these clowns. It had a ten dollar balance on it when they stole it. Now they run up a thirty four thousand dollar bill, and

that's really where we are right now. But yeah, it does make a difference. Going back to Everett Dirkson, he said, you know a billion here, billion, they're pretty soon you're talking about real money. And that was when they you know, the billion was the big number back then. My brother in law also contacted me. Listens to the show. He's a graphic artist who does the backgrounds that we have here. He finds them where he creates them. Karen, we're talking about that yesterday. Karen does the

Thai coordination coordinates the back with her twin brother. But he said, yeah, explain to people in terms of time, and I think it is the best analogy that I've heard. You got a million seconds, how long is that? Eleven and a half days? A million seconds? A billion seconds is thirty one point seven years, going from a million to a billion, eleven day, eleven a half days to thirty one point seven years. Going

from a million to a billion. When you go from a billion to a trillion, you're going from thirty one point seven years to thirty one point seven thirty one thousand, six hundred in eighty eight and if you will years. So it is a huge difference, and these numbers matter. As EVERT. Dirkson pointed out, we get accustomed to these things. Let's take a look at the history of Speaker Johnson. He became speaker October twenty fifth last year.

Hasn't taken him too long to deny everything that he always stood for. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating here. He was a creative speaker, and I was concerned because the day after he started talking about getting money to Ukraine. But he always wanted to use that as a negotiating tool in a sense, he had always opposed more money to Ukraine, but I'm going to use that as a negotiating tool for money for the border, and he always was going to tie it to that. I sensed that he had already lost it at

that point. You don't if the war is wrong, and war is wrong, if you are going to get involved in that and fund that and use that as a bargaining chip, you've already lost me. Quite frankly, And I think what happens is is that when you compromise on fundamental principles, you wind up being totally compromised. And that's what we've seen him do on Ukraine. Well, first, you know, I know I never said I always opposed Ukraine aid, but now I'm going to use it for a good purpose.

I'm going to use it to get these guys to finally do something about the border. Oh really, are you? And then what happens, Oh, now the border's gone and it's all about Ukraine. So by November the fifth, he gets a kind of speaker. By October twenty fifth, by November the fifth, he's saying, Oh, but we have to take care of our own border first. So now I'm going to do the Ukraine border,

but we got to take care of our own border first. Another month later, December fifth, Well, first I explained that supplemental Ukraine funding is dependent upon enactment of transformative change to our nation's border security law laws. Well, that didn't last too long. Another month later, January the third, he says, if Biden wants a supplemental spending bill focused on national security, it better begin with defending America's national security. That's right, that's the first

you defend America. No, we'll let you play your international empire games. Right, Well, I don't like playing American empire games because that doesn't help our defense at all. That puts US at risk. It puts us at risk from war, It puts US at risk of losing everything financially. And then go from January third to February the twelve, he says the Senator's foreign aid bill is silent on the most pressing issue facing our country, the border.

A couple more days February the twenty eighth, we must secure our border and fund our government before securing another country's border or funding another country's priorities. And then all of a sudden things changed. March thirty first he puts forward of the bills with no border security measures whatsoever, just like that, and then by April fifteenth he said no border security measures. Furthermore, he indicates

border security amendments to the package would not be germane germane. Yeah, so, folks, the GOP is not Germane to America. It's absolutely irrelevant. Washington, folks, is not germane. Washington is gone. The national GOP party, the party at the national level is gone. National security is not the same as security for America. National security is what they do. National security is about their power trip. It's not about keeping America safe and peaceful

and prosperous. It's exactly the opposite. It's about destroying our economy, taxing us to death while they start wars to kill us. National security is not America's security. It's what the Pentagram and these eye agencies are doing. Uh. Here's here's Johnson talking about his uh, his journey. When I was remember of the usuria, I saw all the abuses of the FBI, the terrible abuses, over and over and over, the hundreds of thousands of abuses.

And then when I'm a key speaker, I went to the skiff and got the confidential briefing from sort of the other perspective on that to understand the necessity of the Section seven of two affies it and how important it is for national security. And they gave me a different perspective. So encourage all the members to go to the classified briefing and hear all that and see it so they can evaluate the situation for themselves. And I think some opinions have changed

both ways, but that's part of the process. You've got to be fully informed. And even in money, yeah, it also helps if they give you lots of money, you know. But if you're just a regular member of Congress, you go to this special briefing and they'll have some very stern people there telling you, well, this is the way that it is, you know, and don't you dare question them. You have to have some

integrity, You've got to have some backbone. He doesn't. It very much reminds me of Mike Pompeio, another guy who holds himself forth as a Christian, and Pompeo said, I went to West Point. We had a code there you don't lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do. Then I went to the CIA and we got classes on how to lie, cheat, steal, and also how to do coups and start wars and all the rest of this. And those are the people who have the classes online

cheating, stealing, coups and wars. Those are the people that will be giving you that brief Are you that naive or are you selling us out? Johnson? What is it about this? As Thomas Massey calls it. He said, this is the uniparty reveal, and so now we're up. He keeps adding, keeps building the numbers up. And of course he was going to take some money initially from what Biden wanted to do to weaponize the IRS against US. These people aren't war with us, folks, the Uniparty,

Biden, Johnson, and Trump are at war with us. They want this big IRS, they want other foreign wars, they want unlimited military spending because they're the only ones who profit from this stuff, and they do profit handsomely, and says now up to ninety five billion with a B. But nothing, nothing at all, nothing for the border. This is a complete repudiation of the elections. Do you understand the elections don't mean anything because they understand

it. You think if the elections meant anything that Johnson and Trump would be dancing around this stuff. No, no, they'd be all about, oh, we got to protect the border, we got protect the border, especially because of an election here. They don't care. This is going to be a hacking contest between the Democrats and the Republicans. We have all these people who think the twenty twenty was so corrupt. Yeah, it didn't add another

level of corruption. And guess who added that level corruption. Trump did it added another level of corruption, the vote by mail stuff. But the elections have been rigged and cheating and all this forever forever, and that is especially true at the top levels. And so he went on to explain, I want to play this for you because this shows the connection I think really Queen

Mike Johnson and Trump and to a large degree Biden as well. Look, we know what the timetable is. We know the urgency in Ukraine and in Israel, and we are going to stand by Israel, our close allied, dear friend, and we were going to stand for freedom and make sure that Vladimir Putin doesn't march through Europe. These are important responsibilities. A strong America

is good for the entire world. Since World War Two, really, really the responsibility for the free world has been shifted onto our shoulders, and we accept that role. We're an exceptional nation. We're the greatest nation on the planet, and we have to act like and we have to project to Putin and g and Iran and North Korea and anybody else that we will defend freedom. It doesn't mean boots on the ground. We're not the world's policeman.

But we're going to do the right thing. And that's exactly why he's saying we are in here. Text Speaker Johnson, Well, we'll see what happens with that. I think you said very good. We'll see what happens with that. I think he's a very good person. Have you talked to Trump about this plan, this legislative plan in terms of how we're introducing these foreign aid bills and ultimately will he have your back? Oh? I think he

will. I was just with him on Friday down at Mari Lago and we had dinner together and my wife was with me, and we had a great visit. We talked about a lot of things, all the politics going on in the country and all the money press conference we had there together, and I'm doing a very good job and he supports me and all of that. Listen. I think this is all going to work out. I think it's

going to be fine. I did tell the President the plan on all of this, and I think he clearly understands why we're running display and why we need to do this. I think this sets up the next election, the next administration, the next president, and I believe he's going to win in a better position. Well, there you go. They're all on the same page because Johnson is there on the same page with Biden. Now, I mean they even agree on the amounts. Everything that Biden wants, he gives

them. Trump doesn't want to show any leadership if he disagrees. He's too much afraid to push back, just like with Fauci here and therests these people. He's a really good guy, he's smart. Uh, we'll just see, we'll see. I want to step back. I don't want to take a leadership position here, says Trump. I want to kind of see how the wind is blowing. So We'll let him take the lead on this, and I'll see how people reacting and maybe I'll do something about it. Maybe

I want. Following a Republican outcry, Johnson included a fifth bill which would revive the Secure Border Act, So US border security is essentially an afterthought. Yeah, see, what is truly amazing? Tell us why would he pull back? Are they trying to be fiscally responsible? Of course not. They're going to give one hundred billion dollars to wars abroad and not a cent, not a cent to the border. Do they care about the deficit. Of

course they don't. That's not anywhere nowhere is that a concern. And so when you look at certain things, like I've said before, when the Democrats have the modern monetary theory, magic money tree, if you will, deficits don't matter. They say, Oh, I like that economic theory. That's going to be our new economic theory. That's even better than Kynesianism. So deficits just absolutely do not matter. Okay, well, then why are you

still taxing us with an income tax? Well, because it's about control, and it's about making sure that we don't have any kind of independence or prosperity. The one us poor. They want us to be enslaved. That's why they continue the income tax. It doesn't come anywhere close nowhere close. I mean, we're going to thirty four trillion dollar deficit. We're adding a trillion dollars every one hundred days, and the income tax is only a part of

their income, and so it's not even close to what they're spending. They really don't care, and so they're not even pretending to care that they matter that it matters to try to balance income versus expenditures. They don't care. They don't even tend to care, So why are they doing the income tax? They don't care about the deficit, So why won't they put some money

in at the border. Because it is such an economically and it's such a politically popular thing to do, and they look at this and it's like, well, I don't know, I can't do that. That's just too that's just fiscally irresponsible if I were to do that. No, it's because they want the borders open because they're at war with us. They want us destroyed economically. They want us destroyed in a civil war by bringing in people from

every country in the world. They want to turn America into a tower of Babbel because as this country collapses with a financial they want people fighting each other. They don't want us making common cause. And so the best way you do that is having people who have different cultures, who have different languages and all the rest of the stuff. They don't want us coming together to come after them. That's their most effective thing, and that's what Johnson is doing.

He doesn't have to worry about physical responsibility. He could easily have put any He could have put another one hundred billion down at the border, or he could have put two hundred I care a lot more about our border. I care twice as much about our border as I do all the other foreign wars combined. But not a cent, not a cent. It wouldn't have

mattered if he'd put another two hundred billion in there. Who cares. We're doing another trillion dollars to the debt every one hundred days, so who cares about that? Well, they care because they're at war with America. They won't spend a penny because they want to harm us, not help us. They're not on our side. The Republicans are not on our side. Trump is not on our side. We know Biden is not on our side.

And when you look at this headfake of the Secure Border Act, there's absolutely no way that that's going to pass if it is not linked to Ukraine. I just read you what he's been, what he said from October to March. He always said it has to be linked, it has to be linked. He knows that there's no votes to get the border through, he knows that the Democrats don't want to do anything to close the border, to resist it at all, and quite frankly, what they're talking about doing in the

Secure Border Act. Well, let's continue to we'll build some more wall, and we'll do this or that. Those measures are nothing but window dressing and virtue signaling to begin with. There's not any measures in the Secure Border Act that are going to secure the border. But they don't even pretend an election here. That's what I'm trying to get across. They don't even want to pretend that they want to secure the border. Isn't that interesting? That's another

rubicon we have crossed. It's not that they're going to come up with some phony measure. They don't even bother to pretend that they care. So as he floats these ridiculous ideas of a domino theory, Russia wanting to take over Europe and all the rest of this stuff, we always justify. You heard him say, well, I want to send bullets so we don't have to send boys. Well's send them the trainees that should take care of it.

They'll die laughing. No, look, it is always this is the path to hell to say, well, we got to get them before they get us. That's what the Japanese did at Pearl Harbor. We called it infamy at the time, and that was right. It was infamy. Even if FDR stood down, they still did it. But that has been our foreign policy infamy since World War II. We'll take them out before they take us out. That is the path to endless war. That allows you an excuse

to go after anybody that you wish And I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it at all. That's the genius and the morality of the just war theory. You don't ever go to war against somebody unless they hit you first, and then your object is to try to end the war as soon as possible and minimize the civilian casualties. That's not the way we fight, none of that. We want endless wars. We want maximum security, maximum civilian casualties, and we start the wars hans. Are we the bad guys?

Maybe that skit, British skit? What are these skulls on our uniforms? There speaker Mike Johnson saying we're going to stand for freedom and make sure the Putin doesn't mat march through Europe. Where are the greatest nation on the planet and we have to act like that, folks. This is it was to see that kind of stuff was kind of sickening naivete and I don't think anybody is that naive, especially him. He comes across as really calculating. I

call him Machiavillian Mike. He comes across as a cold, olculating soob. He's not a son of God, He's a son of something else. Bappha met. If you will starting wars like this by their fruit, you'll know them, he confirms. Trump supports them and the record breaking Ukraine funding plan that he just introduced as Michael Tracy Johnson told The Washington Times, to put it bluntly, I would rather send bullets to Ukraine than American boys. Well,

what do we have to send either? Is that our fight? You're so wise in the ways of geopolitics that you've got this figured out, do you? Machiavellian Mike. Sean Davis says he's a stupid, gullible, dishonest person who's incompetence is eclipsed only by his cowardice. Imagine being alive and sentient and witnessing the last ten years of deep state skullduggery, and then allowing yourself to be manipulated by the most corrupt intelligent apparatus on Earth. Which is what

he just admitted to. Well, I saw the thousands and thousands of abuses by the FBI, but then I went to one briefing and they just disabouted all that stuff and told me it's all necessary. Oh okay, well that's fine. What does that tell you about his moral compass? Well, you know, it's really awful, But the means justifies the end. You know, we can have thousands and thousands of abuses by the FBI, but hey,

if that makes us more secure here in Washington. You know, the people that are going to channel twenty million dollar dollar a quarter to me, if that makes us more secure than I'm okay with that. The means justifies the end, does it really not? If you are trying to base your policy on morality, it doesn't. But if you're a machiavellian Mike, it does. The Ukraine Aid would be provided as a loan, but with provisions allowing for the loan to be canceled. Who do Trump and Johnson think they're

filling with that headfake? Come on, seriously, Oh, it's going to be a loan. They'll pay it back someday. Well, maybe we'll just forgive it or something. You know, it was a loan that they gave the banks that were too big to fail, and they paid it back quote unquote with zero percent money that was loaned to them by the Federal Reserve. Yeah right, yeah, they didn't pay it back. They got the money. They just ye know, here, you hand me this monopoly money and

I'll give it back back to you. Say we paid off the loan. Isn't that great? So he's still going to send these four and one. He's going to pack them all together and send them to the Senate to pass. And now he's going to add as an afterthought, a standalone so called Secure Border Act that won't do anything anyway. But he doesn't even care to pretend he's going to send that separately, and that's already been bogged down in the Senate. They're not They refuse to pass it before. This is just

another headfake. It's like saying, well, I'm going to loan the money to Ukraine instead of giving it to them, but we'll have some things in there where they don't have to pay it back. Well, I'm going to send the bill now to the Senate, but of course I know that they're not going to pass it because they've already rejected what I'm going to send them.

Bob Good, Republican of Virginia, said it's a joke. Yeah, it's a cynical, cynical joke, arguing that Johnson is more worried about Ukraine than the US Mexico border, which had previously said he was going to pair together. Thomas Massey said, Johnson plans to pass the rule for one hundred billion dollar four and aid package using Democrats on the Rules Committee. This is

the uniparty reveal, and lou Dobbs says GOP gives up on Johnson. Thomas Massey says, Mike Johnson has betrayed the Republican Conference on two big occasions, and he's about to do it a third time. No, he hasn't betrayed the Republican Conference. He's betrayed the American people in the Constitution that he's sword a poll. Massey has called on Johnson to resign as John Bayner did and

allow the GOP to elect a new speaker. So again, you know, we know that the Secure Border Act is not going to pass on its own because they've already sent it on its own and it won't pass and it wouldn't do anything anyway. But the news is that they don't even pretend to care about the border an election year. That's what's changed. As I said before, you know, when we had twenty sixteen election, Trump brings it up

and he said, well, maybe he's serious about it. And for the first three or four months people stopped coming across the border because they thought he might be serious about it. Then they realized that he wasn't, and then the caravans began. But we had had election after election after election, or the Republicans said they were going to fix the border issue, illegal immigration. They never did. Now they don't even pretend to care. Don't in election

year, they don't even pretend. That's the contempt they have for you. And that's how crooked the system is. Again, they're not suicidal. They think they're going to be able to stay in power. They don't really care who you vote for. They're going to rig it themselves. They think we'll

see it'll be a hacking contest. Maybe the best criminals win. Because when you look at the polls, this is a poll that was done by the Heritage Foundation that's people to rank their priorities and Ukraine was quite a bit more of a priority in the Swing States. Sorry, the was a bigger priority than Ukraine in the Swing States. Poll showed the fifty six percent of those voters felt that the one hundred and thirteen billion dollar price tag for Ukraine support

so far. Now, we're going to do not all of it for Ukraine, but another one hundred billion was either too much or far too much, So we're going to make it more than two hundred now. And so that was fifty six percent of the people said, you're spending way too much money. Then when they asked them to compare the importance of border security with out of Ukraine funding, fifty percent said the border is more important than Ukraine.

Only eleven percent chose Ukraine. Another twenty nine percent said both were equally important. And then you got the people who don't know what's going on, always there, and they are so clueless and disinterested. That's the key thing. So why is the border important? We'll just take a what has happened in New York City this last week. You had a flood of newcomers or squatters,

take your pick. I'm sick of calling the migrants. That doesn't say anything they're illegal aliens, they're foreign citizens here illegally, but they're also squatters. And so these squatters in New York City flooded the grounds of City Hall in Lower Manhattan to protest the scaling down of their luxury hotel accommodations funded by

taxpayers. And Elon Musk responded to the videos that went up said wow, while somebody else posted a video of angry migrants surrounding City Hall complex building security beefed up as the situation was a tense and this was Tuesday. The migrant protest comes one day after pro Palestinian groups shuddered critical infrastructure nationwide across various metro areas of the US, including the Brooklyn Bridge. This is what they're doing

to us. They're taking a country that used to be capable of bringing people together who came here for freedom, not for free stuff, and because they were coming here for some common values, because America used to stand for freedom and opportunity. People would come here with nothing but the clothes on their back and no welfare safety net, because they wanted freedom, and we had a melting pot and we were able to have people come together and live peaceably from

all over the world, but they don't want that. They're bringing lots of people from all over the world coming for free stuff, and it's going to be a big fight once the economy starts to go down, once the dollar goes down. That's what they want. They want internal domestic division and conflict to keep us from coming after the people who did this to us. Mike Johnson's top policy advisor as a former lobbyist, it's kind of interesting how you

how this all works out. I remember when Rick Perry wanted to mandate guardisseel for kids in high school. I think it was male and female, I believe, and everybody's like, what's going on with that? That was the first time anybody had talked about mandating vaccines as a condition of going to school. And it turns out that he had somebody on his staff who left his staff momentarily and then went to work for the vaccine company and then came back

to his staff. And that's what we're seeing with Mike Johnson. We got people used to work for him who left, went to work as lobbyists for Ukraine and then came back to work for him, and lo and behold, he's been able to get lots of money as well as changing his position. The inside story of how Mike Johnson was flip flopped on Ukraine AID starts with

his top policy advisor, a former lobbyist. His clients included a large number of major companies who have issued corporate statements indicating that they're interested and they've got business interests in Ukraine. Johnson's policy director, Dan Ziegler, was, until he joined the Speaker's office as his top policy eight, a lobbyist with a

firm Williams and Jensen. This is a report from Breitbart. By the way, he left Johnson to become a lobbyist, and he accumulated a client list that included several top companies, some of which seem to have financial interest in seeing Congress past Ukraine AID. Just like the Rick Perry thing. His aide that goes to was it MRK that had CARDISIL and then comes back and lo

and behold, Rick Perry decides he's going to mandate it for everybody. Ziegler also represented the highly controversial News Media Alliance, which was lobbying Congress when he worked for Williams and Jensen to push a dangerous proposal that would have severely hurt

conservative media. That proposal, called Journalism, Competition and Preservation Act, has died several times in Congress, but keeps coming back to life thanks to lobbyists like this guy who's now the chief policy director for the Speaker of the House or Republican Speaker of the House. Ziggler is not the only one in Johnson's inner circle who has issues. Several other staffers working for Johnson have a series of troubling developments in their backgrounds as well, and said that's not all his

client list. Ziggler's client list also included Eli Lilly. You know, I said when I talked about alex'zar, the Trump put in as head of HHS, and Alexzar who declared a pandemic emergency at the end of January when nobody was dying anywhere anywhere in the world, and he declared that it was all a set up up. The pharmaceutical industry was trolled by Trump by bringing in RFK Junior. He scared them, he bid up the price. They give him lots of money for his inauguration parties, so to speak. And at

least that's the story that they tell publicly. Then Lo and behold, Eli Lilly's CEO, alex'zar gets a pointed head of HHS, which is over Fauci's NIH. You know it's over. He's like Fauci's boss's boss. Fauchie's bosses Francis Collins at the NIH, and Francis Collins boss was Alex's ar at HHS former pharmaceutical executivitylinolently because they have always been some of the most connected, if

not the most connected, of the pharmaceutical companies. Even in the mid two thousands, when Bush was doing the Prep Act and doing other things, they put in a Lily writer, specifically at the suggestion of Eli Lilly. They've been very, very successful at buying politicians and getting what they want out of them, and so Ziggler's client list also included medical service provider Eli Lilly, who regularly has issued corporate statements of support for the Ukraine War and also donated

medicines to the nation while suspending all activities in Russia. But it also included companies like Visa Vanguard. You think they're going to think that this speaker Johnson's going to do anything about CBDC, Not a chance. Then Pfizer and merc Rest. You think he's going to do anything about big pharmaceutical companies and the protection they have for their products and their vaccines. Not a chance, Not a chance. This guy is owned. Ziegler's number two is Josh Hodges.

He left Johnson to go work in the Trump administration, where he worked for the intelligence community in the Trump organization. Again, here we are Johnson equals Trump equals Bidens on these policies. There is an equivalence there all the way through. Isn't it a surprise how despite all of the rhetoric, they wind up doing the same things, don't they They can and sometimes even when they're candidates they don't disagree even as candidates, but when they get elected they do

the same thing. So this guy, Josh Hodges, goes to work he was working for Johnson and then he goes to work for the Trump administration. So the other guy who goes to work for the lobbyists worked in the intelligence community. He also served at the United States Agency for International Development, the USAID. Folks, that's the CIA. That's where Obama's mama was. USAID. It's absolutely just a branch of the CIA. He was also on the

National Security Council. A senior director for Western Hemisphere affairs, Hodge is is the brain behind many of the most controversial Johnson policy decisions related to funding foreign wars, the policies relating to Faiza. You want to know how this all comes together, Take a look at the people. They used to work for him. Where they went now they're come back. You take a look this

Josh hadjes guy. It makes it very clear why he's giving a blank checks to the Ukraine war and blank checks to the intelligence community over to spy on Americans. Like I said, they hate us. There at war with us. They don't even pretend anymore. They don't even pretend to protect our privacy or our borders, or the Constitution or anything else. And so, a source familiar with the Speaker's office and how it works on the inside told bright

Bart. According to a legistre Hodges handles Johnson's Armed Forces and national security portfolios. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to Breitbart said, Mike used to vote differently. What changed. Who is he talking to now? Ziegler and Hodges, That's what's happening. And so Politico, how did Johnson and Biden lock arms on Ukraine. And the funny thing about it is that Johnson has locked arms with Trump. So they're like a chain, aren't they.

You know, from Trump to Johnson to Biden, from Biden to Johnson to Trump, the UNI Party, just like they were when it came to the plandemic, just like the COVID, the climate. Mcguffin, Oh, Trump's going to pretend that he's not on board with that, and yet he left the Paris I'm an accord in that his whole administration. So they're going to these are the people who are recording the speaker. Behind the scenes, that's Biden, not just his lobbyists, but it's Biden who's proud of it,

and they're bragging. Look at this. He's right there, He's locked arms with us, Isn't that great? Politico is talking about it because they want to make Biden look like such a great negotiator, right, They want to build up Biden. Johnson was a willing participant in all of this. As a matter of fact. The headline from Newsweek Mike Johnson gives impassioned Ukraine speech as he defies Maga, he defies his conservative base. He says, history judges us for what we do. This is a critical time on the

world stage. Well, let me me if he's a Christian, He's not going to be judged by history. He's going to be judged by God. I mean, I don't care what other people think now or in the future. I do care as a Christian what God thinks. Why doesn't Mike Johnson think the same thing? He holds himself forth that way. I mean, it's very easy for any politician, where you're talking about warmongering Pence or warmongering Pompeio, to hold themselves forth as a Christian and then live their life exactly

opposite to it. It's not a loving thing to stay silent about that. I mean, these guys are Christians. We need to call them out, don't we. Iron sharpens iron? Hey, brother, do you realize that your life is completely at odds with Jesus, your Lord and what he had to say? Why do you call him lord lord and not do what he says? Maybe you need to look at your life. So yeah, the world stage, Well, he is a hypocrite, which is the Greek word for actor, So I guess that's what he's looking at, right, And

he's not worried about God judging him. He's worried about history judging him. Well, Momentum grows to remove Johnson over the potential change to the Ouster rule. We'll see about that. I don't know as he adds this. You know, the people there know that adding the border as a separate, standalone thing is an absolute non sequitur. It's not going to make any difference to anything. He's not fooling any of them, and I don't think he's even

fooling the general public either. As a matter of fact, Politico did an interview with jd Vance. Now, I've not really paid much attention to jd Vance. He's somebody that's been in the Trump orbit, and he had, you know, a book that he wrote and present himself as a populist. I've seen some things that he said that I did not agree with, but I think that he got it exactly right with this. Politico says, the grand strategy behind jd Vance's latest push to kill Ukraine AID. So what is

he trying to do? They point out, it's not simply about Ukraine, It's about what is America's role on the world stage. Last week, the Ohio Republican author at New York Times op ed piece titled the math on Ukraine doesn't add up. And he's followed that up with a meeting with the House Republican Study Committee on Wednesday to whip against Johnson's Ukraine bill. This is a

Senator JD. Vance. During my hours of talking with Vance, says the writer for Politico, he defended his persistent opposition to usaid to Ukraine, even more so than Trump, because Trump doesn't care about anything. JD. Evance might have some principles. Sounds like he's thought this thing through, So maybe he actually believes this and stands on this aspect of it. And again, I'm not endorsing any politician. I'm just talking about this issue, Politico says.

Yet that opposition also emerges as one small part. Advance is much broader, more sweeping theory of international affairs. If Vance gets his way, cutting off US funding to Ukraine will only be the first step in a much broader reorientation of the US's role in the global order. Vance is deeply skeptical of the so called rules based international order, the system of laws and norms and multilateral institutions established in the years following the Second World War to mitigate global conflict

and facilitate international economic activity. That's the way they describe it. But the rules based international order is simply a US empire with the US as the world's policeman. As Vance sees it, this system has enriched elites while harming working class people who are rooted in older industrial economies, all while failing to deliver on the ultimate goal of liberalizing non democratic countries like China and Russia's failed in

every perspective, every aspect of this. Vance does not see the US decision to defend quote the principles at the heart of the international rules based order unquote defending those in Ukraine as part of some high minded and honorable policy. Instead, Vance sees it as self interested effort by economic elites to preserve a global order that advances their interests while screwing over the type of people that he represents in post industrial Ohio. As he wants to put it to me, I

think you have to rethink the entire project we do. He's absolutely right about that. Instead of the rules based international order, Vance thinks the US needs to chart a new, a more nationalistic system where individual nations are solely responsible for their own security and economic well being and more insulated from global economic and

military entanglements. I think somebody else had that idea, George Washington. According to Vance, the first step towards nudging the world in that direction is ending usaid to Ukraine, which, as it became clear this week, depends on convincing his Republican colleagues in the House to kill Johnson's Foreign aid bill. Entangling foreign alliances, especially in Europe where they're at a constant state of war, or in the Middle East where they're in a constant state of war. We

don't want that. We're going to have peace and commerce with all nations, entangling alliances with none. This is not a JD. Vance idea. This is the foundation of America, and it's a foundation of peace and prosperity. Look at Switzerland, look at early America. So we write the rules where the police who enforce the policies that we write, and it's not working out too well for America. There's some people, the elites in Washington. That's

working out really well for them, not for the rest of us. Opponents in both parties argue that he's merely carrying water for Vladimir putinency. That's what they all know. Oh well, you're a Putin apologist. That type. It is so pathetically naive and childish in a Hiss argument. This is like the people who as soon as you oppose them on whatever issue, the left

gets in your face and screamsst racist. Racist. In February, when the Senate was debating its own version of the aid package, Vance told his colleagues that locking spending levels in place could create a hidden mechanism for Democrats to impeach Trump in his second term. See that's the thing I've not liked about JD. Vance. He has done everything he can to attach himself to Trump.

Locking spending levels in might hurt Trump. Who cares? This guy deserves to be in a prison for the rest of his life based on what he did in twenty twenty. Nevertheless, he is right about trying to end this and just like you know, when we look at Ron Wyden, the Democrat Center, with whom I agree about nothing except trying to stop domestic surveillance of Americans, that is something that Ron Wyden got right, and he's like a bulldog

on that one issue. He just become like his kind of his defining thing, and he got it right. So maybe JD. Vance will make it his defining thing to push back against this rules based international order nonsense. I think it's simply just the American empire, the desire to have to be an empire. Vance's efforts this week are in many respects secondary to the broader goal of shifting the Republican paradigm on foreign policy. This larger project goes beyond injecting

some realism into the foreign policy debates on the right. Vance sees the debate over Ukraine aid as a proxy for the debate over the direction of what he openly calls the American Empire and by extension, of America as a whole. The really interesting debate that is happening between the establishment right and the populist right, he says, is about challenging the premise that things are going really well. On the one side, establishment Republicans believe the American Empire is trending in

the right direction. You have just heard, you know, machiavellian Mike Johnson say that. Right. Oh he's so glib, slippery, snide. Oh it's going great. I mean, look, I'm he's speaker. You know, they believe the American Empire is trending in the right direction, but populist

Republicans believe the American Empire is on the verge of collapse. The establishment points to failing to fall poverty rates around the world, but the populist right points to the falling birth and life expectancies at home, and also to the falling affordability of the middle class, and how economically everything is falling by every metric in America. Vance said, there's just this desperate effort to argue that everything's going well, and man, I just don't buy it at all, and

neither do I and neither should you. Well, we're going to take a break on Rock Fin. Douglelug, thank you very much for the tip, and he says in Happy Friday, well, thank you, and happy Friday to all of you on Rock Finn, Steven Patterson, thank you very much. That's very generous. I appreciate that. And Karen B. Johnson, Karen B. Says Johnson's hyperbole is off the charts. He is a horrible

pick as speaker. Notice the pattern. We never get anyone worth supporting, that's the interesting thing about it. And that was the thing when he first became speaker. Remember, he just came out of nowhere. He had not been on the national stage at all, and all of a sudden, you know, they do these different do They got the guy who's the the whip, and they got somebody you know who's the leader the number two and the

number three, and they can't get in. And then you know, they just pull this other guy up and throw him up there, and it's like, who is this guy? You know, and it's like, well maybe that'll be good. Who knows? Maybe, you know, you just know, it was all unfortunately pre planned and prepared. We'll be right back.

Let's talk a little bit about the climate game. As I said before, it's very interesting to see the bluffs that they've been pulling in terms of both a lack of climate records and also a lack even of contemporary records. You know, we add up to about twelve hundred stations

in nineteen fifty seven. But they've been falling off. But even after they've been falling off, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAH has still been reporting data from them, making it up, extrapolating it if you will, because you know, we got a station maybe a couple hundred miles that away, and another one a couple hundred miles that away. So let's take the midpoint, and you know, we'll divide those two and a half and we'll say

that's what the temperature is at this one. Really. Yeah, Well, as FEE dot org, the Foundation for Economic Education fee dot org says, a federal phase out of gasoline cars has begun. Yeah, it's good to think about it this way, because it has begun. It's been going on for a while. Make no mistake about it. This is going to have a significant economic impact on all of us, and it's going to have a significant impact on our freedom as well. You know, this was essentially the

loophole during their lockdown, wasn't it the private car. They couldn't quite keep us lockdown as long as we had a private car. Couldn't even rationally justify it for most of the mask crowd, although I did see a lot of people driving around with the windows up and a mask on. But most people weren't that stupid, and they would have been laughed off of the world stage

if they had suggested that we couldn't go anywhere in a car. The Biden administration recently rolled out new emission regulations, as the New York Times, that will transform the American automobile market. That's what they had to say. And of course these are not laws, and their rules from Biden, rules from his bureaucracy. In the same way that Trump was doing gun control by executive through the swamp the ATF, well, Biden is doing car control car bans

through rules with the swamp, not even with laws. And this is in order to satisfy a pretend treaty, the Paris Climate Accord. It's not even been ratified. But oh, we got to do all this stuff to maintain our compliance with this treaty that we never ratified. So DPA is mandating the majority of new passenger vehicles sold in America be hybrids or evs by twenty thirty two. Now this is similar. You have to understand how these people operate

and just like all these people don't. Well, Trump never mandated the vaccine, and he didn't ban this, and he didn't ban that. Well he did, he did. And Biden, though, is saying, well, this is not a ban. I'm not banning this. I'm just saying that we've got mandates for these manufacturers to meet, and they have to meet these things, and we'll hit them with really big fines. And so the Biden administration says, this is not a ban on gas powered cars. Car makers

are not prohibited from making gas powered vehicles. Instead, they're required to meet a government mandated average emissions limit. And that limit has now been set by the EPA and Biden to make sure that they'll only have evs and hybrids. And this is just a few years off, twenty thirty two. I mean, we're looking at seven model years away. It's a clever ruse that it allows the Biden administration to use regulatory power to force automobile manufacturers off of gas

powered vehicles while denying that they're banning them. Yeah, it's semantics. Just like Trump and Fauci. I never banned any forced anybody. I didn't mandate anything. I just gave people money if they did it, and I gave them fines if they didn't do it. Make no mistakes. As a Wall Street Journal, this is a coerced phase out of gas powered cars. And

of course the EPA is not just doing that. They're also using water rules, the Clean Water Act and Waters of the United States Acts and rules with that to try to shut down independent small farms as well, because they want to starve us that way, as well as take away our mobility, They

want to take away our energy, take away our food. On the Daily Skeptic, there's an article there they were catastrophizing climate back in the seventeenth century, and they've got all these diaries and other things and records showing that in the sixteenth century everybody was saying, we've never had weather like this before. Isn't it funny? You always hear that from everybody, never had weather like

this before? He says, A long time ago. I became fascinated by the obsession that people have that they live in a time of epic and overwhelming significance. Don't we hear that all the time? You hear that politically, you hear that every election. There's never been an election that's more important than this one, and if we don't get this one right, there won't be

any more elections. Ever. Everything at this point in time is the most significant, and you know, to one extent it is because this is the moment in which we live. It's the only one that we can do anything about. We can't do anything really about what's already happened, and certainly can't do too much about what's coming in the future except in the way that we

act right now. So to some degree that is correct. But he says, he says, I look for a word that would kind of sum up this fixation on you know, we live in the most epic and overwhelmingly significant time in the history of the world. He said. There isn't a word for that, so I coined one chronocentricity. He says. It's a form of egocentricity, a fixation on the notion of one's own implicit importance, but

making it about the time that we're living being so important. Chronocentricity. He said, the present is the worst of times, the past was the best of times. Nothing could sum up today's climate catastrophizing better since, as we all know, apparently the eighteen thirties were paradise when the world was in a

perfect state of equilibrium. And again they like to go back to their minimal climate records and cherry pick a starting point just before the Industrial Revolution and then say, well, and then the change that we have here is because of the Industrial Revolution. Correlation does not equal causation, especially when you're cherry picking

the range of where you're doing this stuff. In the year eighty sixteen, for example, Roman general Germanicus had his fleet scattered and wrecked by massive storm that left survivors claiming that they'd seen world winds and fantastic beasts. According to Tacitus, a proper coordinated climate catastrophizing kicked off when in early modern records and

diary keeping began, and that really wasn't until the seventeenth century. The sixteen hundreds and a companion volume to a nineteen seventy edition of Samuel Peep's Diaries. The two people who put that together had a section there about weather, providing an excellent resource for anybody who wishes to find out about the conditions and seventeenth century England. You know, that's a very I don't know where it is

anymore, but I remember listening to that we had our video stores. Kin Branna read Samuel Peep's diaries, and of course it's a very good reader, and it was a very interesting diary. Samuel Peeps is somebody who worked his way up through the government bureaucracy. I think he was the name thing. And he talked about all of his you know, his career, what was happening in London. He lived at the time of a great plague, the great fire in London, and all the rest of this stuff, and the

rise of the British Empire. Very very interesting. And of course he was also very candid in his diary about all of his illicit affairs that he had as sexual adultery and all the rest of this stuff. And he wrote it in a code and nobody was able to crack that code until the late twentieth century. But you know, there is nothing that is hidden that is not going to be exposed. And that's true whether or not you have some humans break the code in a diary. But he kept a very detailed diary.

And again, diaries are really valuable as a record for many different reasons. That's one of the reasons why I talk about George Mueller's diary, his diary about prayers and how they were answered and that type of thing. Samuel Peep's diary was quite a bit different, but it did give us an interesting insight into the time as well as you know, the kind of political Machiavelian moves that are being made. You know, I wonder if Machiavellian Mike is keeping

a diary. So anyway, they talk about this and the fact that right from the start we see how clear the weather was a divine punishment for the sins of humanity. That's the way they were seeing it. Now of these people thought of suing the government nevertheless for breaching their human rights by failing to protect them. When the weather got bad. They looked at it as really

bad weather, the sins of humanity. Isn't that kind of interesting? Because you know, climate has now become a religion, hasn't it, And we got these climate high priests of this religion of environmentalism. We don't believe as a society anymore, a secular society. We in God, but we believe in our sins and somebody has to be appeased for our sins, and perhaps even worse because we don't believe in a god as a society, it must

be us because we're God. We control everything, right, this vanity you talk about chronocentricity, it really is the egocentricity, the idea that man is supreme and so therefore we must be at fault for the climate. And I think it's that. Certainly, the people who are lying to us, like Michael Mann and other people like that, cherry picking the data, manipulating it, they know what's going on and they don't believe this. I mean,

these are the high priests, they're in on the joke. But the vast majority of our society, I think, because it is secular, they believe that we really do have that kind of power. You know, unlike the time of Mark Twain, he said, everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. People today believe that we have this godlike power and we are doing this now. There are people who are working on geoengineering, but I'm talking about, you know, the people who believe that it's

your suv, that type of thing. So it makes it a little bit easier for them to sell this because there is that implicit assumption the population that we are God and we have this godlike power to do whatever we want, and we are the problem, and that we've been sold with this idea that you know, there is no there is no intelligent design, there is no God who created everything. It just all happened. It's just this wonderful freak

accident of nature. And we call the Earth guy, and we call humans a virus, and we've got to eliminate this disease of humanity or we're going to kill this wonderful accidental thing that we call Earth. And so you go back and you look in the sixteen hundreds, they're saying things like, we've never had anything like this in my memory, storm so ghastly, as no man alive has ever seen the like in this age. And so today what we do is we say, well, there's nothing been like this since records

began. One of the things that was put together here was by Robert Boyle, the General History of the Air. It doesn't call it weather, doesn't call it meteorology, calls it the General History of the Air. That's a nice ring to it, I think, and it's grandiose and kind of ridiculous

at the same time. Isn't it. So you see these types of entries in the diary June seventh, sixteen sixty five being the hottest day I ever felt in my life, and it confessed so by all other people, the hottest that they ever knew in England at the beginning of June, and then a few days later very hot beyond bearing, which was odd because six months earlier it had been one of the coldest days that it ever felt in England. And then the night of July seventh and eighth proved to be the hottest

night that ever I had in my life. It thundered and lightning all night long and rained hard. An endless parade of modern tabloid headlines, isn't it. I mean, you know, people like The Guardian and New York Times and all the Times, Washington Post, they don't even need to write their headlines. Just go back to some of these diaries from the sixteen hundreds were

all hyperbole. The main effect of all this catastrophising is to obscure the truth, whatever that truth really is, and to make it more likely that whatever the problems are, and the panicked solutions either do no good or make things worse, at least in the seventeenth century, no one was foolhardy enough to think that the state had an obligation to protect them from the weather and it could be sued if it didn't, or that anyone was able to change it.

Well, again, people are able to change it with geoengineering to a large degree. For example, as one person who put this upset, imagine believing that this is just naturally forming ice crystals. Yeah, look at that. Look at a massive amount of stuff coming out of the back of that plane. Yeah, ice crystals. Right, Yeah, that's not that's not

kim trials as ice crystals. Well, it gets even worse. Hidden behind climate policies data from non existent temperature stations that I mentioned at the beginning of the show. This is an article from the Epic Times, and you see these types. As I said, they don't have to write their own headlines, but they do. You know, they could easily go back to the sixteen hundreds and look at the diaries there. But you have you and Secretary

General Guitaris on March nineteenth, the Earth is issuing a distress calm. We have a planet on the brink or this fossil fuel pollution is sending climate chaos off the charts. Sirens are blaring all across the major indicators. Some records aren't just chart topping, they're chart busting. Biden said that the climate is an existential threat in a State of the Union twenty twenty three, he said, let's face reality. Biden, face reality. The climate crisis doesn't care

if you're a red or a blue state. Guterists at the UN and Biden Washington rely in part on temperature readings from the US Historical Climatology Network. It has recorded for more than one hundred years, daily maximum and minimum temperatures from stations across the United States. Now, first of all, think about the timeframe one hundred years. These are people who say that the Earth is billions of years old. I don't believe that. I don't believe it. I'm

a Young Earth creationist, and I'm unashamed to say it. I just go with what the Bible says. I don't try to fit it to their ever changing scientific theories. But if the Earth is ten thousand years old and they've got one hundred years of data, they've got what one percent? One percent? What kind of projection can you make with that nothing? If it is millions or billions of years old. As they say, it's even more ludicrous. They got one hundred years. They got one hundred years of a few

stations in the United States. That's it. It gets worse. The problem, say experts, is that an increasing number of this network's stations don't exist anymore. They are physically gone, but they're still reporting data. Like magic, no A fabricates tore data for more than thirty percent of the twelve hundred and eighteen reporting stations that no longer exist. He calls them ghost stations, ghost stations. He should be worried about that, because he use these ghost

stations like ghost guns to rob us and take everything from us. The station has reached a maximum of twelve hundred and eighteen stations in nineteen fifty seven, but after nineteen ninety the number of active stations began declining due to aging equipment and personnel retirements. You know, and they didn't hire anybody to replace the people who were retiring. They just decided that start making the data up.

Noah still records data from these ghost stations by taking the temperature readings from surrounding stations and recording their average and then they put an E after it, but they don't make They still use it as for their stats, as if it was actual data. This was exposed by the Heartland Institute. If this kind of process were used in a court of law, the evidence would be thrown

out. And so even worse than that is in fact, the guy who founded the Weather Channel, who always opposed this climate change nonsense, he never believed it. He said, So they're telling us that a one and a half degree change in temperature is going to cause the earth to die. He says, you don't have that kind of First of all, you don't have that many stations. Now we see that a lot of the stations are ghost stations. But even worse is what has happened to the stations that remain.

They might have been out in a rural area. Now they're in an urban heat island, or maybe they're on an airport tarmac, which is even worse. And then when you look at the way the temperature used to be read. It used to be read by the people who've now retired no longer there at these ghost stations. But he used to be read off of mercury thermometers. And that's what the guy who founded the Weather Channel said, because you got a parallax view with that, and it's not that it doesn't have readings

that are that accurate to one and a half degrees. And besides that, you got the parallax view. And people have deceived themselves into thinking that these digital thermometers even more accurate than they were, or that they always had something like a digital thermometer. In these days of apparent climate crisis, you would think that they would want to maintain these temperature reporting stations. You would think that'd be a top priority. Right, if we're all going to die,

wouldn't you want to be measuring it. I don't worry about it. We'll just kind of estimate it. That's fine, you know, that kind of casual, nonchalant attitude towards something that they're trying to tell everybody is an existential crisis. They know they're lying, and you should understand they're lying as well. Again, Yeah, they let these things expire, and it's not enough of a priority for them to even keep the machines working or the people reading

the stuff. And then of course where they put them has changed. They didn't have that many of them to start with, and They hadn't been collecting data for very long either. They don't have any information with this stuff. That's why it is a completely made up mcguffin, just like the pandemic. Wise, this is a bizarre way of monitoring a climate that is claimed to

be an existential threat, he said. As a matter of fact, there is a website called Noah Crappy Anda Crappy that list all the ghosts or zombie stations, their location, how long they've been closed, and then links to Noah's recordings for them. Since Oklahoma City stations are all zombies, interpolation data is coming from as far away as Gainesville, Texas, which is more than one hundred and thirty six miles away, and from Edend, Oklahoma, which

is more than one hundred miles away. Fixing temperature reporting stations is not rocket science. It's not even very expensive. But they don't want to bother with it, right. I mean, you could say, if we can send a man to the moon, then you can figure filling the rest of this stuff. We can send a man to the moon, but we can't fix a weather station. We got an existential crimet climate thing here based on temperature.

We got to know if we're winning or if it's getting worse. Right, Well, a lot of people talk about the fact on social media, talking about Greta Thunberg when she got arrested, the fact that she never goes to China to complain about what is happening there in terms of their pollution and their very dirty coal plants. He doesn't go to India either. Have you ever wondered why climate warrior Greta Thunberg rarely, if ever, protests China for

being the world's biggest polluter. She never says anything about China. Why doesn't she ever go protest in Beijing or anywhere else in China? And so she's also not talking about the report from Bloomberg that shows that the world's coal power capacity increased to a new record in twenty twenty three, almost all all of it because of China, because everybody else is being forced to shut down coal plants, coal plants that are far, far, far cleaner than China.

You know, you can make a clean from a mission standpoint, you can make a clean diesel, you can make a clean coal power plant. It's more expensive, it's more complicated, or you can just say you get a pass and we're not going to do anything about it. China accounts for more than the sixty six percent of the increase, followed by Indonesia and India. They are allowed to have cheap, reliable power that they don't have to do any attempts to clean it up at all. And yet the interesting thing is

who has the most coal the United States? We are the Saudi Arabia of coal. And I've talked about many times, you know, in the late nineteen eighties and everybody said, we're going to be out of oil. That was the CIA, you know, peak oil. That was their narrative, that was their line, We're going to be out of oil. You know, the Arabs used that oil embargo to punish us for our support of Israel, but it went around the world because all the global markets are tied together.

So everybody started getting worried about, you know, what are we going to do if we run out of energy? Nobody cares about that anymore. They're going to let them run us out of energy. Nobody even talks about that aspect of it anymore. Isn't that interesting? But you know, in light of that, you had Newsweek and Time and I saved those magazines. They said by the mid nineteen eighties, we're going to be out of oil

and natural gas. But we got another six hundred and sixty six years, that was their figure, Another six six six coal and it's all here in the United States. Well, last year China began constructing seventy gigawatts of new coal plants. Jigawats, Marty. You know, Doc would say, no, it's gigawats. But what does that mean, that menything. It doesn't

even mean anything to me. Really, put that in perspective. If you take all of the power that is built in the rest of the world combined, this is twenty times that all production is being shipped to China because of the energy stuff. It's not, as I've been saying, it's not simply the China price of slave labor, piracy of intellectual property, and current cy manipulation. It is also the fact now they are allowed to have as much and as dirty and as unlimited energy use as they wish, and nobody can

compete with them, whether you're talking about steel or anything else. That's why just the sheer economics of it that the Western governments have set up, they've set up a situation where the economics alone will drive out and shut down the very last steel plant in the UK, doing the same thing to American steel plants because we can't compete with them if they can get this cheap power. They built twenty times the amount of power as the rest of the world combined

last year coal. How do we put it, well, no, says Javier Blas. The world added last year sixty gigawas of coal fired power capacity, the most since twenty sixteen, and China accounted for more than two thirds of the increase according to the reports that just came up. The big question is why climate warriors like Greta Thunberg ignored China then and they ignore India as largest polluters now. They leave it in this article as a rhetorical question.

But the answer is very simple. The Paris Climate a court, and that's what many of the people who believe the climate alarmists, who are true believers. So now in the world, can you allow clients at China and India to continue to pollute while you just focus on the rest of the people they are the biggest markets. Well, you have three Senate Democrats and let's talk

about nullification. We typically talk about nullification, jury nullification, or states nullifying federal overreach, even sheriffs or something like that, nullifying people who you know, interposing and saying you don't have the authority to do that. Well, we have three Senate Democrats who joined in a GOP campaign to try to nullify Biden's evy unconstitutional rules. Three Senate Democrats cross the aisle on Wednesday to vote

against a plank the Biden administration's electric vehicle agenda. The problem is that this isn't the key one, This isn't the EPAS thing. So he had Joe Mansion, he had Shared Brown of Ohio. John Tester of Montana voted with the Republican colleagues to nullify, to nullify a rule. This one not coming from the EPA. This is coming from the Federal Highway Administration. So it's

an FHA. Actually they call it f since they have an FHA, they call the FHWA for Highway Administration. It's a rule from them to reduce a number of gas powered cars and I guess trucks as well, because you know, they would start putting emission standards using the interstate in the same way that the Nixon administrations that we built the interstate. It's going back and forth between

states. It was paid for with federal funds largely, and so we will tell you how fast you can drive on it, and you know, maybe we'll split some of the money. You can keep the money yourself if you enforce our rule. This is similar, but it's about emissions. And so you had these Democrats crossover and join with Republicans. Also Christin Cinema, who issusually caucuses with the Democrats, but she's declared herself to be independent now.

Anyway, they passed a nullification resolution to nullify this rule coming from the Federal Highway Administration. Mansion helped to introduce the nullification resolution alongside Republican colleagues, while Brown and Tester each faced competitive reelection bids in the twenty twenty fourth cycle. Biden, however, has said that he will veto the bill. So Biden and his deep swamp, because the president is the king of the swamp. Trump was king of the swamp. He's got his swamp putting out rules,

and the Senate says, not so fast. We're going to specifically nullify that one. And now Biden says, We'll I'll veto that so he's going to nullify their nullification and push this thing through to put it Now, they should nullify the EPA and the EPA rules, but they should nullify the entire organization. Few things are more frustrating in government than unelected bureaucrats asserting authority they don't have and foisting federal mediocrity on the excellence of states, says North Dakota Senator

Kevin Kramer, who introduced the legislation. He said, the Senate will take up my bipartisan resolution that overturns the Biden administration's obviously illegal rule that requires state departments of transportation to measure CO two tailpipe emissions and then set declining targets for vehicles traveling on the highway systems of their perspective states. So I guess that means that he's going to try to federally mandate emission states things like that,

which we don't have here. I didn't have it in the county that I was in in Texas, and we don't have it here. So I guess they're going to try to mandate that nonsense. Again. See what we have to do is we have to nullify these rules at the state level. They don't have any authority to push this thing through. What are they going to do? Well, they will hold money or something like that. We need to tell them, keep your money, keep your money. We're going to

go it alone. We need to do that to save our kids in education. We need to do that, to save our freedom and transportation, and we need to The simplest thing that the Senate could do, they come up with a nullification resolution. Why doesn't one senator say let's have a vote on the Paris Climate Treaty. They forgot to do it. They didn't forget to do it. They know that they need to do it. Every single one

of them knows. And not any of them, not any Republican, not a Democrat, none of them will have a vote on the Paris Climate Court. Instead, they'll pretend that it was ratified somehow. On Rumble, the progress retort, thank you for the tip. County control is the target. It's how fed's funded climate bunk shows locally through planning organizations. I recommend doctor Julian Romanello on Rumble and her channel Hearts over Hexagons on YouTube for schooling well

good, I'll look into that. On Rock Finn Syrian girl says, Chinese will kill themselves with their filthy air. My brother has to do business trips over there occasionally. Some days it isn't even safe to go sightseeing out of doors. Yeah, as a matter of fact, and all this COVID stuff kicked off, and in Wuhn, I remember John Rappaport was saying the air

pollution there is some of the worst in China. And that's saying something because China is so bad you can basically cut it with a knife and move it around. But it was absolutely he says, I think you're going to start talking about respiratory disease, you might want to look at how bad that air pollution is there. We'll be right back. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing. Check out the Jazz channel at APS radio dot com and the APS

Radio app and leave the stress behind. You're listening to the David Night Show. Well, if you don't like what is happening in Washington, there are things that we can do about it. We can do it at the local level, especially even sometimes at the state level, but ultimately it's going to be up to each and every one of us. That's what we're going to talk about. Here. But first let's begin at the state level. Maine

has decided that it is going to jump into the cultural war. They are going to have state sanctioned child mutilation tourism, I guess you could call it. And you've got sixteen Republican Attorneys general saying you can't do that. They're specifically, they're not saying that you can't do whatever you want to within your state. But what Maine is doing is doing this to draw specifically, to

draw people in and to shut off information from the other states. So, in a sense, what they're openly going to war with states who have different rules about what can or cannot be done to children. A group of republic attorney's general are sending a warning shot to the state of Maine for bill under consideration that would effectively establish Maine as a sanctuary state for procedures like child sex change surgeries that the attorney's general say is totalitarian. So bear with me,

we'll explain how this thing operates here. The bill would prohibit interference with abortion or sex change procedures, legally protect medical workers from facing lawsuits, and could potentially permit concealment of medical records from plaintiffs seeking legal action against the provider. See this is where it starts to the legal things start to cross state lines.

In other words, a parent whose child went to Maine for a sex change surgery would have no legal recourse even though they live in a state where such operations are illegal. A group of sixteen attorneys general, led by Tennessee's Jonathan Scremetti, send a letter on Monday to Maine's Governor Janet Mills and Maine's Attorney General Aaron Fry, and to the state legislature leadership, calling the bill

a novel effort at state sanctioned culture war litigation tourism. They said, while it's extremely unusual for states interject themselves into another state's lawmaking, these sixteen attorneys general said this bill is unique constitutional transgressions and it merits their comment. They said, the bills far reaching provisions are unprecedented. It would apparently form a liability shield to anyone aiding or offering unlawful services to out of state citizens.

And I mean they're soliciting the out of state business essentially as well soliciting it and then providing legal liability shield. It would also create a private right of action for damages against law enforcement prosecutors and other officials and states that are enforcing

their respective state laws. See so create liability shield, but then also go in and claim that you can sue people in other states, even officials and other states that are enforcing their respective state laws, even laws whose constitutionalogy has

been confirmed by federal appellate courts. So it's very aggressive in the sense that, Okay, why building shield if you come here and do this, but we're going to help you to sue law enforcement officials and other states and other things like that, even if it is a law that has gone to federal courts and been upheld. The AG's right. This purports to block valid orders and judgments from our state courts enforcing laws that have been upheld by federal appellate

courts. They also write the bills ill considered attempt to influence and to intimidate officials in other states could also trigger a rapid tit for tat escalation that tears apart our republic. Now some the big proponent of the bill in Maine is drum roll. You couldn't guess planned parenthood. Planned parenthood is uh, they are jumping into this child mutilation thing in a big way. And why would we be surprised They've been mutilating children, ripping them apart, limb by limb

before they're born, even for the longest time. This bill is fundamentally about access to healthcare, it says, planned parenthood. The cynical transparent laws never stopped, do they. So Maine has every right to decide what Maine's laws are and how those laws should be enforced, says this letter from the Attorney's General. But that same right applies to every other state. One state cannot control another. The tautalitarian impulse to stifleed descent and to oppressed dissenters has place

in our shared America. Well that's the key. That's the key what they're trying to do. And so this was from libs of TikTok. This extremely bizarre video was shown to fourth graders at an elementary school in Georgia. In Georgia, it depicts a dog who thinks he's a cat in order to promote LGBT inclusivity and acceptance. This is what they're teaching your kids in school. Pure propaganda, she says, No, it is pure grooming. Hi, I'm Gulliver and this is Emmittty. Oh hi, I'm Barry. Got a

rainbow colored collar. We could choose another dog. Ah nice collar? Yeah, oh thank you. I like that. So what do you want to do for you to point it out? Chase her tail? I know, let's sniff. No. Actually I like the play with yarn. Yeah it fun? Yeah? Yeah. Or I like to clean my paws like this. You see this video is an admission or that these young children don't understand the sex and gender thing. Right. We got to do it with puppet animal animal puppets. We could try to meow. Yeah, like that,

great fun. You should try it? Why not? Let's go excuse me? Would you? Uh? I just uh, I have to go for a second. I'll be right back, no problem. Yeah, miss Madison, Miss Madison. Oh hey, Gulliver you're back. Did you find Mary? Yeah, we've got to talk. It seems like a nice guy. Oh, great guy. Great guy. He thinks he's a cat. He thinks he's a cat. Yeah, he's over there talking about yarn, purring and licking. Well that's okay, isn't it. Well I think it should

talk to them about what being more like a dog. Gulliver. You're really struggling with this. It's weird. It's not weird, just different. I couldn't ask Barry to change who he is. That making really sad. Yeah, okay, you get the idea about going into any more of this.

That's what they're showing to young kids, and of course the young kids have to let's put it at a level where young of course, can kids who need to be talked to in that way, Can they make decisions about something that's going to have going to affect them physically for the rest of their life. Of course they can't. That's the absurdity of all this. But you know we have when it comes to artificial intelligence, this article from futurism.

You have a new artificial intelligence company in Europe, some people who left open AI and Meta and now they're one guy is French. I don't know the nationality the other guys, but they've created this AI company, Mistral, in the EU and they're very excited because you know, the EU now gets to have an artificial intelligence company instead of them being based in America. And they

did this article about him because he said I am an AI theist. Actually that is what they put in an atheist, right, but AI theist. So I don't believe in God. I'm a strong atheist, so I don't believe in AGI either, artificial general intelligence. You know. That's the interesting thing, isn't it. For the longest time, people like you go to Garris, who was an atheist. I don't know if he still lives or not, but he would say, and he would offer this to people that

he met with. He said, if we are going to create something, I think you know, if we create AGI, we're going to create some kind of a godlike intelligence and it might destroy us. Would you still do that if you knew that you're going to create this godlike intelligence that might just wipe you off because you're nothing more to it than an ant or something. And everybody would buy into that. I mean, there wasn't anybody that questioned

that assumption. Really, they all believed that they could create some godlike intelligence. I don't necessarily believe that, By the way, not necessarily, I don't believe that. But this is the first time I've seen one of these people that's in the AI industry push back against it. The interesting thing is when he would talk to the scientists, they would all say, yeah, would still create this thing even if we knew it was going to kill us

all. And that's the problem I always had with engineers, and whether you're talking about AGI or nuclear weapons or whatever, they push ahead, like, you know, we blow up this nuclear bomb, it might just set the entire atmosphere on fire and we might all die. There's a certain percentage that that might happen. You know, Well, let's do it anyway. And they have that same attitude to everything. Well, if we create this AGI, it might just kill us all, Well, let's do it anyway.

So they are always they're so focused on solving a puzzle that they don't think or even care about what the consequences will be. Even when you lay out negative consequences and ask them about typically they don't even think about that. They're so focused on the task mediate task at hand. But you know, this is a big part of where these people are really coming from with transhumanism and

the rest of this stuff. They believe that they are god like, and of course they could create if they're like God or god like beings, they can create god like intelligence, they can live forever, they can transfer whatever they think that they are into a machine or something. That's what the technocrats think. So I thought it's kind of interesting. This is a guy who doesn't share the Silicon Valley technocrat god complex with these other people. He says,

I don't believe that's going to happen. But again, you know, when you look at whether or not there is a God, the fool has said in his heart that there is no God. Because you can see the design. You can see it in everything, especially today. You know, back in the Psalms said the fool has said in his heart there is no God. Is night after night, you know, the heavens pour forth knowledge and speech. We see that these things are. We can see it in

God's creation. Now we can see it even more so. And things like DNA and other things like that. There is no language, their voice is not heard. And yet this guy thirty one, he is an AI champion, and he doesn't think that they have anything to worry about. Maybe that's what he's putting it out there, mean, just trying to dissuage people's fears

about what's going to happen. He says, I believe that instead of it being some kind of a sky neet becoming self aware he said, I think that the real issue is how it's going to disrupt people's work, disrupt society. And he said in that is coming faster than the previous revolutions that we had, And he said it's not coming in ten years, it's more like

two years. He said, the changes that are going to happen to our economy are going to require swift retraining, and it's going to becoming much faster than we think. He said, those sorts of predictions are much more tangible, frankly terrifying than prognosticating about artificial general intelligence. His vision and seems to have broad appeal among the European elites. During a recent speech is transcribed by The Times, a British investor Mark Matt Clifford heralded him as the poster child

for AI and France. And so these are the people who are pushing forward this new society. But even more important than the new technology is how do we view ourselves, how do we respond to the types of trans issues that are being pushed on our kids. Well, there's an interesting op ed piece from Michael Clary. He said it's going to take plane spoken courage to move the Overton window and if we don't control this Overton window, folks, we're

going to be thrown out of it. We're going to be defenestrated. It's interesting. The Overton window was something that's developed by a guy at a libertarian think tank, the Mackinac Center, back in the ninth and his name was Joseph Overton. Overton. He said that it's public approval or public disapproval that really drives policy. The Overton window determines that some ideas are mainstream, but some other ideas are extreme. Ethics are not based on objective standards, but

on a popularity contest, and the Overton window is fickle. Twenty years ago, supporting gay marriage was an extreme position, but now it's considered to be mainstream. The shift has been so dramatic that it's considered extreme to oppose it. Social pressure is its animating force. Another example is mutilating the genitals of children. This was once a barbaric practice that was only happening in third world countries, and we talked about women coming here that wor Islamic and female genital

mutilation. Nobody talks about that anymore. It was that's Barbara Rush. Can't you know but now look at what they're doing today is done in the suburbs, and it's covered by health insurance. When I was talking about the German Minister of I guess spying on Germans domestic intelligency, he said, well, we're not really worried about crime and violence. We're worried about extremists, right, worried about those people who are outside of the Overton window. And that's

true. They are following the interesting people. As Michael Hayden said, they don't have to see you as violent or a criminal. You just have to be somebody who is going to be moving the culture, moving what people think, and then you become a person of interest, somebody that they want to shut down. Labels are very powerful. Labels are how they do this. Labels are how they frequently move the Overton window. That's why I say we've

got to reject those. Don't call yourself red, You're not a red state. It's always been the color of communism. That's why they're trying to use it, because their tactics are the tactics of communism. You know, instead of a struggle session or whatever, Well, we got woke, you know, the DEI and that type. But it's all the Marxist tactics. They're just trying to relabel it and they try to make it look good. Right, so we'll call ourselves woke, or we won't call you pro life,

we will call you anti abortion rights, and on and on. Most people want to be considered reasonable and moderate, So nobody wants to be labeled as an extremist, a radical, or an alarmist, right or racist. That's the other thing, right, you could be talking about climb. Oh, you're racist, you're white privilege and all the rest of this stuff. Shame can drive public opinion, leading people to self censor or to adapt their views

so they're not cast into outer darkness with the rest of the deplorables. That was Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump during the plandemic, the non essential businesses and workers, Right, which one is worse? Is it worse to be a deplorable or non essential? The Overton window is a sociological phenomenon. No one directly controls it. The majority doesn't move the Overton window. The Overton window moves the majority. The window itself is moved by whoever has the courage and

the influence to move it in their direction. A motivated minority with a compelling message can make a difference. For example, for over a year now, pearl clutching and hand ringing regime evangelicals have policed the Overton window with warnings about how Christian nationalism will destroy our gospel witness in the public square. Doug Wilson

Pastor Doug Wilson, considered a chief proponent of Christian nationalism. Though he prefers to speak of mere Christendom, remains unmoved by the pressure to keep silent about Christ's lordship over government. His affeable demeanor, combined with the reasonable articulation of biblical principles, has earned him a significant following of ordinary Christians who are hungry for bold leadership. That's why Tucker Carlson had him on with the title for

his interview. Pastor Doug Wilson is the Christian nationalist they warned you about, and so he says, to give another example, Dusty Devers was an obscure Baptist pastor in Oklahoma who had the guts to defy the rhetorical overlords and move the window to the right. So what were his controversial views? He believes abortion is murder. Well, you know so does so does Bill Maher.

He's just okay with it, right and if somebody's okay with it. He believes abortion is murder and mothers who bought their children should be prosecuted as criminals, not treated as secondary victims. Well, I disagree with that. I think some women are victims. I think some of them are criminals. You have to make that determination. I wouldn't categorically say way or the other. I think some women just say, just like Bill Maher, they say,

yes's murder, and I'm okay with it. He also believes pornography is a social disaster that destroys marriages and increases sex addiction and human trafficking and child exploitation. Devers had the nerve to campaign precisely on these issues, and he won a state senate seat. He then had the gall to keep his campaign promise by introducing legislation to outlaw pornography and abolish abortion in his state. Predictably, the outrage machine fired up. He got a lot of derisive coverage from Rolling

Stone Magazine and Jimmy Fallon. Again, you have any state level activism, you're going to get the eye of Sauron on you. They understand that's where things change. The press coverage was an unexpected gift. It forced a public debate that thrust his local message into the national debate. Videos of women smiling and dancing around and celebrating their abortions got a lot of track and help to underscore what he was saying, that these women are not victims, they're celebrating

the murder of their own children. Dever's strategy to go on the offense highlighted wicked practices and exposed as distractors for defending them. Christians easily fall into the trap of letting the Overton window frame how issues are presented. For example, every discussion of homosexuality must include some reference to how homosexuals are made in God's

image, though no discussion of any other sin has such qualifications. When Boulder Christians do speak plainly on these matters, other Christians get nervous, so they join in denouncing their fellow believers and accusing them of being unchrist like and lacking

the proper tone. This is what we just saw this last week with this men's conference with John Lindell putting a male stripper on a pole up and then Mark Driscoll calling him out, and then John Lindall kicking him off, and then a few hours later they come back and essentially kiss and makeup and all the rest of stuff. And now part three of this constant soap opera. Now John Lindell has called out Mark Driscoll again. I mean, you know,

I stop covering it because it's turned into a soap opera. But you know this is the type that you must not say anything, must not say anything about me because I'm in a position of leadership, was what John Lindell was saying. So they scold Christian brothers and sisters the fine sounding admonitions like the world is watching. They insist our Christian prophetic witness be limited to whatever

the Overton window will allow. This is Michael Clary who's writing this. In the past ten years or so of the Overton window has rapidly lurched much further to the left, pressuring Christians into an ever accommodating posture. Yet the far left is typically among the most unstable, quick tempered, oversensitive, easily offended people in our society. The threat of enduring angry outbursts from them is enough to cause many Christians to get into a posture of appeasement and a cower in

silence. But in the long term, what you're doing is rewarding your rational behavior. No one wants to trigger an unpleasant scene, so we choose the seemingly sensible route of saying nothing and going along to get along. This strategy allows the Overton window to continue moving in ways that further suppress our public voice. So see sooner or later we may find ourselves unable to speak at all.

And so when you look at what happened at a school recently, you had kids who walked out to get attention because they were being bullied by kids who dressed up as furries. I guess they took that little video literally. The trans animals, well, I think I'm a cat. So are they weading a mask every day? Yes? Yes, but every time they go they're always just wearing the mask. But the principal fighters stood up and ban those stuff. But they have but they still wear them every day in trouble.

Doesn't get to make them get in trouble, yea, All the principal says is just be kind, nice, nice, and then we'll support addressing look like a furry. Don't they think they want to get attention. I say they want attention so people could come at them and just look at them and think that they're so cool. Okay, are you guys gonna be in trouble for walking out of school today? No? Maybe people getting Yeah, we're knocking out, we're standing everything for the furries are wrong. This is

wrong. We should have fishes. Are your parents know you guys are out here? Yes, we just kicked them. Get in trouble, attack them, they get else, so they attack you guys us. They scratch just then? And why are they spraying with fbreeze just because, cousin, I'm ready. You're not putting the little bosses in the girls bathrooms? I heard

that was just a rumor something you've seen. Yeah, so we can't talk or say anything to the firs or even look at them, but they can come look at us and they can say stuff to us and touch us and they don't get introub Interesting. That sounds like a double standard to be Yes, Okay, you gotta stay on the sidewalk. Okay, yeah, I think those kids are starting to learn the lesson right. Experience is an expensive teacher, and they're getting the experience and so they're tired of this tyranny.

They're tired of these crazy kids who are acting like boiled brats, putting letterboxes in the girl's bathroom, and of course they bite them, scratch them and other things. And then there's this. This is a mother telling a trainy sorry, you're not coming in the bathroom where my girl is. See of girls and women, I'm asking You're telling you please do not use face's been uncomfortable girls and the other women that I am with very comfortable. Right.

Well, fortunately I'm not your daughter, and my daughter is also not your daughter's true and she feel she would feel very uncomfort No, no, right, I would like to know that you please call your more. I'm asking you, of a mother, do not use female faces and very uncor face. Women are not had. I am very you're a number of forts. Your children are not a mother's tall a. Just call them out. Sorry that you're not a woman, You're not a mother. What a freak show

it is. But this is what we've allowed because look, people are finally standing up to this stuff in the same way it took a very long time for people to stand up to Faunci and the rest of this nonsense. I'm not wearing a mask, I'm not getting your jab, I'm not going to stay in my house, and all the rest of this stuff. People finally got to the point where they're fed up with this. And if he points out when a far left activist is invited to speak on a college campus,

conservative students typically ignore it. They go on with their lives. They don't write or protest or do sit ins because we believe in free speech and we value responsible citizenry. But the left doesn't do that. They have outrage mobs that show up. Even though the far left does not represent most of the population today, they exert outsized influence on the Overton window. Appeasing the left

is easier than opposing them. Every mother of a toddler has been tempted to yield to his demands in a candy or a grocery store to avoid embarrassing scenes, whise mothers know that's a losing strategy. Rewarding bad behavior only leads to more of it. The far left controls the Overton window the same way if a fifty year old man who's been faithful employee for two decades at his company refuses to use preferred pronouns of the newly hired twenty three year old dude wearing

makeup and address. He knows that he will be the villain the fifty year long term employe. He'll be reported to human resources, He'll be required to attend sensitivity training. But the rabid, immature left will continue shaping public opinion on a variety of issues, not because their ideas are better, but because everyone else appeals to them to avoid a scene. But we are not without

options. The Overton window can move when a motivated minority is willing to joyfully endure the derision of the left long enough for their collective voices to be heard. This is Michael Clarey, and he says now he references Selsye Nitsen. He says they must be willing to live not by lies. As Solse Nitsen said, plain spoken truth moves the public opinion. As reasonable views are articulated with clarity, force, courage, and joy. They must be prepared to

endure reprisal from the left, which will surely come. Ordinary people may open up to persuasion as a variety of voices convincingly articulate reasonable positions. When three or four become twenty or thirty, They may think, well, this is starting to make sense. Difficult social problems will not be resolved as long as

angry, irrational mobs control public discourse. The need of the hour is godly Christian leaders stepping up to the microphone, plainly articulating positions that may seem laughable at first. Through persistence, they can keep issues alive long enough for people to get used to hearing them, then perhaps persuading enough of them in order to move the needle. Clear headed Christians have been bullied into silence for far

too long. The Overton window shifts with public perception, starting with a few bold, articulate, prophetic voices that arrest the public's attention. As the number of influential voices grow, the idea is they articulate gain credibility. Their persistence creates a snowball effect that eventually persuades even greater numbers, and the cacophony of sober minded voices can give the public a road map for approaching difficult subjects.

We've seen this happen as people challenge the regime's COVID narrative. In the early stages, the Overton window kept people silent and compliant. Anyone who questioned the narrative was considered to be a heartless buffoon who didn't care about saving lives. Since then, however, the window has shifted in the opposite direction. And you know, we had as all that was happening, we had a lot of religious leaders that were shaming people as well, and people like Al Muley

had, Franklin Graham, you had the Pope. You had all these different people out there doing the work of the administration and trying to keep that there. But those who are pushing masks and endless vaccine boosters now seem ridiculous because reasonable people have shown over and over again that the regime was lying. Now, Michael Cleary doesn't say Trump, but it was a Trump regime. It's a Trump regime that gave us the lockdowns and the masks, and it was

the Trump regime that was lying. And folks, we don't want to live by lies, and we don't want to live by Trump's lies either. Whoever you're most worried about offending is the person who controls you. If the Left is who you fear offending the most, they are your masters and you are their slaves. Who are you not allowed to criticize fear God speak plainly. If we are slaves of who we are most afraid of offending, then may God be the one that we fear offending. If pleasing others is our driving

energy, may God be the one that we most aimed. Please. God is not pleased by pandering, vague man fearing sophistry. What pleases God as courageous men and women speaking plainly and humbly, bringing the sort of clarity that pierces hard hearts and builds up soft hearts. Courage is the greatest threat to the regime, and it is contagious. Plain spoken courage is contagious, and

it can move the Overton window. Well, that's exactly right. It's an excellent op ed piece by Mark Cleary, and we need to all understand that, you know, this is something that is going to be all of these issues that we face, and it has never been more so. This way a coordinated effort to make you feel isolated, a coordinated effort to make you feel like you are the only one who understands what this is or thinks this way, a coordinated effort to push out lies and to shut down the truth,

to shut down anything that pushes back against the regime. And so you've got to have a backbone, You've got to have you got to understand who it is that you fear, who it is that you want to please, and then stick to that. On rumble Ratus Bro, thank you for the tip. As the furries are a very homosexual genre. I don't get how parents let their children learn about it. It's not like furry forums are for children. Yeah it is. Furries are some of the worst people on the

Internet. The number of them that have been exposed as zoo files and necro files is leitimately astounding and horrifying. Well, and you know I said from the very beginning of this the transgender stuff is they're coming to kids. That was a way of pushing pedophilia, because if you say a kid can consent to mutilating their body, if they have that kind of maturity, they can consent to sex. But it's now beyond that. This is really uh.

These are the shock troops to push us into a into transhumanism and into virtual reality. And that's one of the I think that's a key partner Hugh Travis of what this furry stuff is about. It's about living in a fantasy world, because look, pretty soon they can just stand in there a little cubicle and you know, run on their mat or whatever, and they'll have, you know, a VR headset and they can just live in this virtual reality all their life. And that pleases people like uh Uri. What's the guy?

Noah Uri anyway, the the guy that always is talking about this. Yeah, you've all hararih thank you. I just got a brain freeze there, you've all. Hori says, we're going to control people by keeping them in this virtual reality world and having them play games, and we'll give them drugs and the rest of this stuff and they won't be a problem for us.

We can then own the world and do whatever we wish. Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to be joined by Gerald Salin, So stay with us, folks, we'll be right back.

He now used to do it on a I think a quarterly basis or something monthly, and now it's on a weekly basis. He's got like three hundred pages worth of articles. It's in a magazine format online and so it is an always head of the trends. We're going to talk about some of the trends that he had picked this year

and how they are at the very top. Unfortunately, one of those trends has been war and that has brought itself to the forefront. Thank you for joining us, Jeryl, Thank you for having me. And again it's only two dollars and fifty cents a week for the magazine, and you know the fact that they are one of our top trends. This year was a golden year for gold. Yeah, nobody in the world said this is a golden year for gold. And gold prices are up now three hundred and forty dollars

more than and we made this forecast on January second of this year. That's right, yeah, big, big, jumping, bigger than the stock market and any anything else. Actually, and this is just the beginning, by the way. And when I say when they subscribe through night, it costs him the grand total of two dollars and fifty cents a week. This is the Wall Street Journal, five dollars a day. You see that important story in the top tippy on their tippy toes Ballerina is hit the tip top five

dollars for this crap. Yeah yeah, Then you go to the toilet paper Record. They call themselves the paper Record in New York slime. You see this story about this poor guy lost his arm over there Ukraine. They don't show pictures of the little Palestinian children blown to pieces. Now they don't count. This is the propaganda that you're getting the meat from the media. We're giving the people everything that they can get just to show you the I mean,

the arrogance and stupidity. This is the business section of the New York Times Sunday. Six dollars. That is the business section of this stupid picture that used to be one time. It used to be all articles. Yeah yeah. A showman for the age of combative spectacles. Donald White, a violent sports boss, has a mass considerable cloud one page after another about this stupid crap. Hey, six dollars a day to get this. People are getting no news. They're just getting ruppet Worth was junk. That's right,

that's right. And again this is the it shows you the propaganda, right. This is today's toilet paper Record. Columbia called in law enforcement Thursday to empty and encampment of pro Palestinian protesters. How about anti war protesters? Mm hmm, No, no, you're pro Palestinian if you're against Israel's jetocide. That's how they sell the propaganda and hate. It's always Palace Stinian. It has to do with anti jetocide. Yeah, it's always about the labels.

As I said earlier, you know, you're not pro life, you are anti abortion rights. You know that type of thing. They always picked the labels, don't they. Yep, that's the that's the key thing. That is the high ground, you know. And we just had Trump explining how Gettysburg worked. You know, don't fight up the hill. Me boys, don't fight up the hill. Well, we don't want to use their labels because if we use our labels, they're going to be fighting the hell me

boys. So he actually said that. But it is comical what they do, except that it is a total distraction, isn't it. Yeah, again, total distraction. One of our top trends, give you an example, is is going to be a banking bust like we've never seen in history of the world. Part one A, Part two, going back again tracking trends is the understanding of where we are and how we got here to see where we're going. So you go back to the COVID war, go back into

your house. You can't go to Wike. So now people staying at home day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, and they're saying, I'm not going back. I'm getting up at five o'clock, five thirty in the morning to commute an hour and a half. I hated I hated driving, I hated Governess. I'm not doing it anymore, of course from me, all this money, all right, stay home. I'm the guy that has likes, say, ten floors. I got

all these people in little cubicles. I don't see anyway, Stay home now, your office vacant se rate. Vacancy rate in San Francisco is over thirty percent, In New York City vacant nobody in the buildings twenty three percent, Portland, Oregon twenty nine percent, one after another. All right, how are you going to pay your debt on your mortgage that's come and Doe four trillion dollars worth of commercial real estate that's coming in the next two and a

half years. Wow, four trillion dollars. They're not going to pay this stuff, the banks are going to go bust. I'm going to give you an example of how the mainstream media. This is from Reuters Wednesday, US regional banks see booking more commercial property losses and loan sales. They go on to say that scrutiny of region banks has increased after Silicon Valley bank collapse.

Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah. Then they go on to say again that at the end of the article, there's a much more dramatic drop in values than with the market in twenty twenty three. They said, analysts, however, you're ready, do not expect turmoil for the banking sectors. Sector's exposure to commercial real estate right here. It won't be a problem at all at the end. Yeah, nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about. Don't worry if everything's fine. Yeah, of course it will be

all fine for the big guys. They're going to be bailed out as usual with all the rest of the stuff. But this, this kind of economic chaos is going to run through. And even when they locked everybody down and said, you know, stay home, work from home, or you know, we'll just send you a government check and that type of thing, getting people used to being at home, isolated, don't travel, you're not going

to go anywhere. You're going to get help from the government if they any and every one of these financial problems that they create is going to be used as a way to push us into universal basic income, to a CBDC, to a government ID, so that as a pressure relief. All of those things are going to be pushing us toward that, aren't they. We're going to see that accelerated. It's not going to make any difference because we're going to be annihilated in nuclear war. Yeah, and people don't get it.

It's right in front of everybody's eyes. We have demonic people running the world.

And as we warned again, you go back to your trends journal January excuse me, February twenty second, twenty twenty two, two days before Russia and the Ukraine War started, we said that Ukraine should negotiate for it went from COVID War to Ukraine War to World War if this continues, and we've been warning that as Ukraine loses, which we said they were going to lose in the beginning, they're going to use a major false flag event attack a

nuclear power plant or something else to get support from the United States and NATO. They've already attacked a nuclear power plant last week, and they're going to keep escalating it. And then the Israel war. Look what's going on. We've been warning about this, all right? It ready for this big story. Yesterday Bank of America oil prices could hit one hundred and thirty dollars a barrow this year. Yes, I saw that. Yeah you saw that.

Go back to your trends journal we used week after week after week since January, and again the videos are there. It's in your trends journal. We said oil prices Brett Kruker hit one hundred and thirty dollars a barrel. We can save us now for four months. Bank of America said it yesterday. It was big news. No, isn't that frustrating? Get no respect, Nonerfield. I'm a little guinea from the Bronx. So you know, hey, what do I know? I only have best selling books trends that trend

tracking far better than mega trendstime magazine trend tracking, international bestseller. What the hell do I know? Only been writing the trends journalistins nineteen ninety one and Manta since nineteen four, nineteen eighty and only call things like, oh, here's your trends journal dot com bust. When's that fall of nineteen ninety nine? We said it happened by the second quarter of two thousand. So going back to this, what's going on now with oil and why what you're saying

about, you know, none of that's going to make a difference. World War three has begun. We have evil, demonic people in charge, only interested in themselves, a narcissistic, sociopathic evil people. Yeah, oh yeah, I've been talking about Johnson this week. I call him Machiavellian Mike. Now since that little speech that he gave, I'm a wartime speaker, literally he said, that's how he sees himself. Now he is a wartime speaker.

He's wartime conciergi you know, or whatever. But he's you know, this is a war, this is a literal war, and so we have to do this. It's amazing to watch how this guy has just rapidly evolved to push any and every war and to completely forget about the border. For example, even though if they were worried at all about the election, you would think they would at least try to pretend that they cared. Right,

That's so I said earlier, Gerald. It amazes me that here in an election year, they will ignore the border, which by more than two and a half to one people are concerned about versus Ukraine. Right, so it completely ignores it. He could easily since I don't care about the deficit. What's the big deal, you know, put one hundred million at the border or whatever. It isn't going to make. The stuff that they were going to do was just window dressing. Anyway, they could throw money at it

and say, look, we're doing something. But that's the contempt that they have for the American people and for the election even. I think that they're looking at this and saying, well, it's sorry, we've already decided who's going to win, and we don't really even care what the voters think anymore. That's what it looks like to me. They don't even pretend, well, again, it's not going to make. When all else fails, they take you to wark. Yeah, that's right. People keep asking me on

interviews, you know, who do I see winning the election? I see you can't call it. You know, I've been at this. You know a lot of years, or you go back to the Trench Joureral magazine. We called Trump a winner in May of twenty and sixteen, when everybody said he was going to lose. There's a whole different game going on right now. Yeah, they're going to do anything. Kansas stay in power, and when you go to war, the people support the president that's running the show.

Again, all you had to do is go back to two thousand and one, when little Georgie Bush just got into office. We were in a deep recession, the dot com bust happened, and then nine to eleven happens. What happens, We're going to get that guy who's slid bin laden, dead or alive, a little boy of nothing, a little daddy's boy. Eighty eight percent of the people swallowed the craps brewing out of the mouth of

that clown boy. Yeah. Well, you know, even when you look at what Johnson is doing, I mean he's even Politico is saying, you know what, how did Biden and Johnson lock arms on all this stuff? And of course Trump is just staying off the side just to see which way the wind is. Boy. But you're right, they're going to go with, you know, take us into war. They're going to say, well,

we're the guys who are in charge. You don't want to change horses in the middle of the stream, in the middle of a war that we just started. You know, that'd be no disculification the fact that we're the guys who started the war, so you don't want to change anything, just leave us there. It truly is amazing to me the arrogance that he has exhibited towards the Republican voters, toward the rest of other people in the conservative

part of the Republican Party. He doesn't even try to pretend to any of this stuff, and he is completely in lockstep with everything that Biden wants to do, even including not just the war stuff, but even including the massive increase in the IRS, which is another way of going to war with the American people. It's amazing how in a short period of time he goes there. But of course he got twenty million dollars in his first quarter as speaker,

so he's getting paid off handsomely. Yeah, a little clown, a little clown boy, Yeah, little boy of nothing. I would love to call these guys out, man to man. I'd love to say, you a little bastard. Who the hell do you think you are? Yeah, you're a public servant. Could you get that in your head? You're a nothing. You're a little nothing. That's what the people should be doing.

But there's no fight. Yeah, the only thing I've seen Jade Evans I talked about this earlier in the show jd Vance uh And there was a long article where he had an interview with Politico and I thought it was the very even article, but he was questioning the whole idea of the American Empire. He said, you know this, this aid that we got going on right now, these these four packages like one hundred billion dollars UH to Ukraine and

Israel and everything. He says, that's that's one aspect of it, because we need to completely rethink this international rules based order nonsense. This is this is working out really well for a few people in Washington, but not the rest of America. The rest of us are really yeah, this is not working for us. And so he's kind of taking on the essence of it, and uh so that was encouraging to see that, but again, it's

just just one sunder. Yeah, just one guy doesn't mean anything. Yeah, and again going back to this uh, this this thing, you know, the hipocrisi going on now of the order of people in front of everybody's eyes, and it just keeps going on. They're going to escalate this rough invasion now now that they got this out of the way, well we got we retaliated against Dwan. You know, they sent that missile in there.

What I suggest everybody consider doing. You know George Galloway, he had an interview with Scott Ritter right after Iran launched the attack against Israel last week, right, and Ridder made this really clear because the headlines from the West were and from Israel, Israel and the West knockdown ninety nine percent of it. No, no, that's not what happened at all. And Ridder makes it really clear. And from the Israeli side, this is from the Israeli news.

It cost them to stop what Iran did one point three billion dollars. Yeah, I covered that, yeah exactly. You compet that ten percent. It only costs iron to do it, yeah exactly. So a new kind of asymmetric warfare, right exactly. You know, we go in with heavy, expensive equipment and they've got cheap, improvised roadside bombs, that kind of asymmetric warfare. Well, this is a financial side of it as well, you know, and of course you know, we look at what's happening with

the drones. That's another kind of asymmetric warfare that's happening in Ukraine. But but what did Rider focus on the financial aspect of it? As the is the real issue, the financial aspect and how successful Iran was. Iran showed them Iran didn't hit any civilian targets. They did this purposely. What they did they have the ability to wipe out Israel again. Scott Riddard is nobody that I know of him. And Colonel McGregor, these are two guys that

were in yeah, in the military side. Yeah, they know what they're talking about. Yes, And I suggest that they go to you go to Galloway and and and see this, uh, this this thing and then here here's here's the here is the here is the hypocrisy. Brussel's eyes expansion, eyes expansion of sanctions on Iran after direct attack. US announces a fresh set

of sanctions yesterday on Iran, targeting it. Wait a minute, you're putting sanctions on Iran for attacking Israel. How about putting sanctions on Israel for attacking Iran? Yeah, that's why you anti Semi, Why you you hangar? How dare you say that they're the chosen people? They could kill anybody they want, anywhere, any place, anyhow they want to do it. No sanctions on them. Matter of fact, let's give them more money to kill more people. Yeah. Yeah. The only person that I saw writing about

this that that really got it right. Everybody was saying, well, you know, this is what is Israel going to do? Now they've been attacked by Iron. It's like, well, what about that first attack? Ron Paul said, you know that was a retaliation for their retaliation. Are we

going to now have a retaliation for the retaliation? And as I said, it's going to be like the hat Fields and the McCoys if you keep going down that road, because it was initially the assassination of these two military figures and that's what kicked it off, and you know, in an embassy that was there, and that was an attack on their native soil, and so then it escalates and retaliation. So now Israel says that they want to retaliate

against the retaliation, and then Iron promises that they will do that. So, yeah, it's going to rapidly escalate. It's now getting direct, which is what Israel and the US has always wanted. They've always wanted to go back and to go against Iran. And yet how did we get the Iatolis in charge? Well, that all began when we did a coup back in the nineteen fifties. But nobody goes back to that either. It's just like that. They don't go back and look and say, how did we get

to this point where we had such radicalized Iran in the first place? And you know, has has our policy really been working or has it been counterproductive? And it really has been counterproductives blowback. No, you're one hundred percent right in what you're saying, and the people have no clue of this at all. You ready, this is my book trend Tracking, that I wrote

in nineteen eighty nine, a lot better than Mega Trend's Time magazine. You talk about what happened about the Shaw right the Fall of the Shaw, and I say, I write about this is when I became a political atheist and

a trend forecaster. All they did was teach us. It's just like they teach us to hate the Russians, that they taught us to hate the Iranians when the revolution began in the late nineteen seventies, never mention about the United States, so would throw the democratically elected government the victimanak of Mozadeg brought to you by the CIA and the MI six, because Mozadeg had the nerve the gal to say, no, the oil belongs to the Iranian people, it

doesn't belong to Anglo Iranian oil better known today as BP or Standard Oil better known today as Exxon Mobile. I write about it, and that's how I became a trend forecaster, exactly what you're saying. And that's when I became a political atheist. And again, so here we are now, as Trump said, we'll go over there and we'll take the oil. Doing the same thing in Syria, right, they don't bother with the coup. They just send in military are people to occupy the oil fills and steal the oil.

And then when we get shot at, oh those whoever it was shot at us? Can you believe they shot at American troops in Syria? Well, what are we doing in Syria? I mean that nobody ever talks about what are we doing in Syria? How did we ilegal we illegally invaded it to stealer oil? Like I said, you think we would have been into the Iraq wharf. The major export was broccoli. Yeah, yeah, exactly what

we didn't. Look what we did in Libya O withdrawing the most people had more rights in Libya on the Kadaffi and benefits than anywhere in Africa and much of the world. I want that guy cardoff. Yeah, the oh you know, you have to say properly, Uh, Kadafi has to go, folks. Obama, he was always focuing ust focus, focus, Yeah. Yeah, you know, we came, we saw he died, you know,

that's really said. Yeah, and what she saw was the fact that he was setting up a banking system and competition to the European central banks, and that had to go. It is absolutely amazing and it is you know, we just have to keep plugging away. I think the only thing that we can do is just keep telling the truth and pointing to this and telling people that we have to stop this idea of the American Empire. We have to stop this idea that all these people over there, I think they're dangerous

and so we need to take them out before they take us out. That is a prescription for unending war. That's what we've been doing since World War Two. We've been acting like the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. That is a prescription for unending war and never having any peace. It was actually actually kind of funny, you know, in this article where they were talking to JD.

Vance about the American Empire and so, well this guy sounds really isolationists, and they're critiquing him, of course and saying, you know, well, this is what he wants. I said, Oh, that's exactly what George Washington wanted, you know, no entangling alliances with anybody. We focus on actually putting America first. People want that, and yet they try to demonize that as if that is some kind of a bad thing. It's amazing. Who's the day, Yeah, Politico, Yeah, Politico is doing no,

who's the demon? Sorry? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So here you mentioned you mentioned George Washington. Right, this is Farewell address. It is our true policy to steer clear of a permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world. Screw your Washington, fat boy, Lloyd Austin. I kill people in a rock. I killed people in Afghanistan. I'm the Secretary of Defense. My last job was with rat Deon, the largest defense contract, second largest defense contractor in America. Screw you, Washington.

He goes on observe good faith and justice toward all nations, cultivate peace and harmony with all which indulges toward another an habitual hatred, like they've taught us. An habitual hatred about Iran and H and H Russia. An habitual hatred or an habitual fondness. Oh we love Israel. Oh well, they're so wonderful. And we love the most corrupt country in Europe Ukraine. Oh,

we love them so much. The nation which indulges toward another in habitual hatred or an habitual fondness, you're ready, is in some degree of slave. Yeah, it is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and interests. Washington, And they got the nerve to call you an isolationist. Hey, that's so. What's your favorite war? I a Vietnam War. I grew up there. It was wonderful. No. I like the first Iraq War better

than the second Rock War. Oh, the Afghan War was just wonderful. We were so successful in all those wars. Yeah, of course there's tens of tens and tens of trillions of dollars to kill millions and millions of people, but great success for nothing. And they called isolations, whereas this is a stupidity in front of everybody's eyes. Well, we had Michaevelli and Mike uh played the clip earlier today. Uh he said, Uh, well,

I want to send bullets so we don't have to send American boys. It's like, what, what nonsense is that we don't have to send either one. We mind our own business, but you want to send the bullets because the people who are writing you checks. Is what's going on here? Truly amazing. Yeah. Yeah, he's got people working for him that were lobbyists for companies in Ukraine and other things like that. Hes corruption is just unbelieve And yeah, he doesn't have anything at all, any concern at all for

America, for America's safety or security. The national security stuff is anesthetical to Americans America's safety and security. But it's also all across Europe. We're seeing the same type of stuff. One of the top articles you got at Transjournal. Finland's new president says to NATO, less talk more war. Yep, what's going on there again? Finland? Yeah they got five point five million people. Yeah, what do you talk? It was a little arrogant little

boy talking about Yeah, you got white off the map like that. All of Europe is talking about World War Stoltenberg, Vandalen or vandal Lyon, whatever her name is. Again, Oh toally women were in charge, o Barbach, the other clown over in Germany. Hitlary Clinton who you mentioned before, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, when Condoleeza Rice, what a little warmongering freak after another. I'm tied of this racism, sexism, crap good in bed

comes in every race, creed and color. They're ramping up World War III. That's why I said to you, We're not going to have to worry about the economic consequences of what's going to happen if we don't stop the world from going to war. That's right, that's right. But of course, you know, we do head our bets on this stuff. You know, world War three doesn't come out, we do need to. We still have

other threats that they're coming at us with. That's why the economic stuff, the forecasts about gold and other trends are still very important, are they. Oh again, gold prices have gone up with three hundred and fifty dollars an ounce since we made that forecast, and it's we can see gold prices hitting three thousand dollars an ounce. So you're just the beginning of it now here. This is important. That's what I wanted to ask you was where do

you see that coming? Because you called the oil price pretty spot on there with a Bank of America finally caught up to it at one hundred and thirty a barrel. And so we've had people predicted three twenty seven hundred four thousand. One of them did I think that was ubs? I think that put four thousand. You know, what are you looking at? If the war doesn't break out and we keep going down, you know, with a threat of war as well as inflation all the rest of these things, weill goal

prices are going to go up for three reasons. One's going to be the banking bust. You know, I'm just going to give you an example of the Again, I gave you one example of how they underplay the news. This is from the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Tech giants trim office space,

dealing landlord's major blow. At the very end of the article, right down here, San Francisco's office vacancy rate, I got it wrong before hit a record you ready, thirty six point seven percent in the first quarter, according to CBRE. You know what it was before the COVID or the vacancy rate three point six percent. Wow. Wow, three point six percent vacancy in

twenty nineteen, thirty six point two percent vacancy rate. Wow. Not a mention, Not a mention in here about the bag sculling bust and how this is going to hit them. The amount of new office space techno technology the companies least fell by almost half in the fourth quarter of last year. Compared to twenty nineteen. Office space listed for sublease in thirty cities with a lot

of technology tenants has risen to the highest levels ever. One hundred and sixty eight point four million square feet of office space is for sublease in the first quarter. In other words, you're trying to get rid of their leases. Not a word in here of how it's going to bring down the banking system. That's number one number two. In the run up to the presidential reality show which they call an election, they're going to lower interest rates to keep

the power and power in power. Our fedhead form of fedhead, Janet Yellen is now the Treasury secretary, shows you who's running the country. They want to keep her there in power. They're going to lower interest rates to artificially boost up the economy and the run up to the election. The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls, and the dollar, by the way, the death of the dollar was coming. The lower the dollar falls, the cheaper it is for other countries to buy gold. So the higher

goal price is are going to go. Now let's go to China. We had forecasts the twentieth century was the American century, but the twentieth century twenty first century would be the Chinese century because the business of China is business and the business of America has been worn. That changed when China launched the COVID war on Chinese Lunar New Year, the Year of the Rat January twenty twenty. They locked down the country for three years with zero COVID policy. Now

let's again, you got to put the trends together. Slime ball murderers every time he got caught with his pants down. Bomb's way over bag that Bill Clinton brought China into the World Trade Organization officially. They came in two weeks after nine to eleven. Was already was paying attention. You look at China's GDP before they got into the World Trade Organization. It's like this they get in book, skyrockets. The country was overbuilt with a boom. Chinese real

estate accounts for over thirty percent of Chinese GDP. It was a boom that was going to go bust anyway. But three years of zero COVID policy made a bad situation very worse. Going back to gold, retail sales of gold in China this year increased twenty five percent so far. Central Bank of China biggest buyer gold. They know how bad it is, as do other central banks. Now, why else is gold price going up? The Ukraine War, but particularly the Israel War. You're going to keep ramping this up.

This is just the beginning of the end. You have demonic crazy people in charge. Who's your favorite guy? You like that guy big Gieve? No, I like that guy smooth Trick. Now I like Yaoh, he's just wonderfully kind and loving. Yeah, that's why gold prices are going to go up. And of course what we've seen is, you know, even as when they got worried about gold going up really quickly. I pointed this out.

A couple of days ago, you had about ten different people affiliated with the Federal Reserve talking about how they were going to keep interest rates high. They weren't going to cut them. You know, we know they're going to cut it before the before the election, but they're putting out you know, to get everybody, Oh well, they're not going to cut interest rates anymore. And they did that in order to try to take gold down. All they did was it didn't go down, but it's held its own and so

they weren't having much of an effect. They weren't having their desired effect on it, you know, by saying we're going to keep pinterest rates high, they were hoping to take it down. As you point out, even though it was hitting new records, you still had the Chinese Central Bank still buying more and more of it. And then what is going on with the gold ETFs. They had to cancel trade on that for a while, didn't they. Yeah, yeah, oh yep, so high. Here this is from

Financial Times. I talk about the death of the dollar. Right, massive US deficit poses quote significant risk of the world economy ones, im F, the international mafia, that a monetary fund. Excuse me, all right, it's right here in front of everybody's eyes. The United States debt's increasing one hundred trillion dollars excuse me, a trillion dollars every hundred days. Yeah, that's right, that's right. Is going to be a banking bust. This

thing's gone. But again, when all else fails, they take it to work. Here, rents are still rising and fueling inflation. King Oh March onm sales they dropped because interest rates of mortgage rates are now seven point five percent. Oh but again, everybody said, nearly everybody that when mortgage rates went up that the cost of housings would go down. We said, no, ain't gonna happen. Housing price is going to keep going up, and

so's inflation. Soe you ready. The median price of existing home sold in March three hundred and ninety three thousand dollars, up four point eight percent from a year before. Wow. Yeah, I had an article earlier this week. They were saying that doctor's on Long Island. It make three hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. It can't afford to buy a house there. It's like and this was not on you know, the part of Long Island

that's always been the gatspies and stuff. I that this is like in Suffolk County. Uh, you know where my wife is from. So it's this is like suburban Long Island. They can't afford to buy a house there because interest rates are so high because they've essentially shut down building. You put all kinds of regulations and uh, inflated the cost of building and make it difficult for people to build. And so they've cut down on the supply of houses.

And so even though the interest rates are sky high, the prices of houses are not going down because they've controlled the supply, and even the doctors can't buy house. Who's going to buy a house there? It's great again, Yeah, and and and uh it's only going to keep going and getting

getting worse. Prices are going to keep going up, yeah, because they go driving up inflation with again, You're going to see oil prices spike and and all the cheap money they're going to keep trying to do to keep artificially propping up the economy so we don't. Again, it's the people are suffering like we've never seen in years, and it's only going to continue to get worse for the average person as the rich keep getting richer and the robber barons,

that's all they are. I mean, when we were young guys, there were no hedge funds, private equity groups, or venture capitalists. When we were young guys, there were hardware stores, stationary stores, drug stores, and now they're all chains. And going back to the immigration that you were talking about, they want the cheap immigrant. They want the immigration for cheap labor. Again. I wrote about this in my book Trends two thousand.

The whole internet revolution began in the early nineteen nineteen nineties, nineteen ninety fourth started taking off. They had this thing called H one b VSA's so they could bring in cheap labor from China and India. They didn't want to pay the Americans. You go to any store and you see go to like a marsh as a target or whatever, and you see on the front doors. Help want it, help want it? Help want it? Help want it? Yeah, because all the people working there just nothing more than a

plantation work of slave land. It's better than the plantation system. You don't have to house him and feed them. Here's enough money. Get that hell out of you. Come back in the morning. You've got an article at a trans journal fast food turns to AI to cut staff, And you know, I kind of think that that's what was happening. When I covered Gavin Newsom raising minimum wage, I said, you know, I think that's really

trying to push these fast food chains. Because you had to have something like eighty locations or something in order for the increase to go from fifteen dollars an hour to twenty dollars an hour. I said, I think that is pushing these fast food chains to start using AI to replace people. But then we

had this week. You had a place in several different locations in New York where they were using staff in the Philippines and they had them there as virtual clerks in the store to interact with customers because they could pay them three dollars an hour in the Philippines, which was still twice what the average wage in the Philippines was at a dollar fifty an hour. So this is the way they're pulling the stuff in, isn't it. I mean, this is a

very rapidly moving and they want to do it from the bottom up. This is going to be one of their first st aps to kill us economically, I think is going to be the combination of robotics and AI. But before they do that, they'll do telecommuting with people in other countries as we've already been seeing for the longest time in terms of support people that you are coming out of India that hardly speak English and that type of thing, you know,

when you call in to get some help on something. But now they're going to start doing it in retail locations I think, and paving the way, you know, making artificially inflating the price of people there so they can create an economic case for these people to add robotics and artificial intelligence to replace humans there, and then once they do that, they'll bootstrap into other areas as well. Right, you're one hundred percent correct. Again, what about

the top trends? Was AI? We own you? And that's where it's all going. I mean, look, look what's going on. I mean, you're talking about that Philip by the way, I was in the Philippines. It was heartbreaking to see the poverty there. Yeah, you know when you oh poverties everywhere? Yeah, for making a dollar fifteen average. Yeah, I mean he called every well the credit card companies. Who are you speaking to when you got a problem? Somebody from the Philippines, you know.

So they're going to keep doing it. And what you pointed out is one hundred percent right, and again we're just going to keep getting Yeah. This is the article. By the way, Bank of America issues one hundred and thirty dollars oil one. Oh yeah, well the only four months too late, but Bank of America said it, then it must be true. So again it's going to the average person is just going to keep getting poorer

and poorer. This is again I call this plantation workers of slave landy, that's all it's become, and that we need a new third party movement and we don't have it, Yeah, because they're all paid off by the You met that little clown boy, that little what do you call him, Mickey Velly? What do you call him? A Mickey Evelli and Mike Yeah, yeah, a little little jerk of nothing, a little boy of nothing. Oh immedtly amazing Hey, what's that? Would you say? You got twenty

million? Yeah, twenty million in his first full quarter as speaker. Twenty million dollars. And I was talking about how you know, when you had the two thousand election, seventy million was the total that was spent by Al Gore, one hundred million by George w And this guy gets twenty million in just one quarter. It's kind of a measure of the corruption, isn't it. Yep? But it's also a measure of the arrogance. I just I can't get past that clip of him saying that he's the wartime speaker and so

we just got to make these tough decisions. And he's going to completely ignore our border because he's a wartime speaker. No restrictions whatsoever on the money that we're going to send other people for war, but we're not going to do anything to protect this country. It's absolutely amazing. Again, they want the boarder to stay open for cheap labor. Yeah, And I think that also, you know, when they look at this. I've talked many times about

the fourth turning. I don't know what you think about the cyclical theory of this's put out by Strauss and how about every eighty years everything gets restructured. They said, you know, it's usually massive economic restructuring. Usually always economic restructing, usually war. Previous one was Great Depression, World War II, prior to that civil war, prior to that revolutionary war. They went back five hundred years in British history to look at that and said, well,

now everybody is pretty much synchronized on all this stuff. But I said, you know, this fourth turning, it's really big fourth turning. They want to go instead of like what we had with a civil war, we had we moved from an agrarian society to an industrial society and the industrial revolution came in. That was a pretty big one. We had wars in a lot of different places. Italy had a civil war eighteen sixty one to eighteen sixty five exactly at the same time that we did. That was about creating an

industrialized revolution as well as a nation state. Now they want a global government and they want which means that there's going to be a global war for sure. But my question is is it also going to be a civil war? Can they keep pushing with that? And I think that's a good bit of why they keep letting the border stay open. I think they want to make sure there's going to be while there is a global war. I think they want to have a civil war as well. What do you think again,

the global war is going to be nuclear annihilation. I mean, you don't have to believe me. They asked a cat by the name of Albert Einstein, who knew a thing or two about the atom bomb, and they asked them what kind of weapons will be used to fight the third World War? You said, I don't know, but I'll be using sticks and stares to fight a fourth. Yeah, I mean you know about the Samson option in Israel. Yeah, well, yeah, they lose, they go nuclear. Well, you know, a lot of people, a lot of people.

You know, there's going to be tremendous number of people that are go out and initial stuff. Another massive number of people will die from solely from radiation. Give me the people who are left though, as a matter of fact, And I don't know, you know, this was any Jacobson. Why she's done books on DARPA, on Operation paper Clip and some other things like

that, she just did a thing about nuclear war. She said she thought the most number of people would die from starvation, that even though you'd have tremendous initial casualties vaporized and then dying from radiation, it's going to be starvation

to me. That seems to me like in that phase, that's where they want to make sure that the people who survive they're all fighting each other, as you say, with sticks and stones, you know, bringing in all these different groups that that are not going to even speak the same language, uh, into the United States. That's that's what they want to do for a complete an utther takedown. I think, what do you think now? They're out of their minds. They don't have a book, they don't have

a final plan on this. I know, Yeah, they're out of their mind. They're nuts. Again you do you're quoting a little jerky, little nothing of a clown? Is Mike Johnson? What plan? What plan? And again, at what time this little boy couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag? Yeah? And as I always say, everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the nose, you know. Yeah, that's the other part of the best laid plans. Yeah, you at all.

Uh. Once that once that happens, everything then resets itself, doesn't it. I got a couple of comments here, one of them from rock fan Fawn see thank you for tip, says good to see Gerald on Rumble sixty one. Thank you for tip. Thank you Dave for another week of insight and analysis. Thank you so much. Oh, I appreciate it. Well again, you know, when we look at this, it is uh, it is a very dark time, isn't it. But we can we can not. We we don't want to lose hope in the sense that please,

we have to do something. Yeah, that's right. People have to do something. We have to unite for peace if we know we're going to die in war, that's right. Yeah. And if we if we lose hope, we won't do anything. And that's what they want us to do as well. So I think that we need to make sure that we understand what our goals in life are, and we need to understand that regardless of what

happens. I quote it often the fact that Martin Luther said, if I knew the world was going to end tomorrow, I'd plant a tree today. I think that's the way that we need to live our lives. I think that's why you cover a lot of economic and global economy information there, even though as you look at this all the cardinal for global war, you still look at this and say, but in case, you know, we're still going to plant the tree and we're going to do what we can to try

to fight for peace. Right, Yeah, and again you know I launched occupied Peace and you spoke at my rallies I got a little a decade ago. Yes, this is an op ed piece of Biden and Wall Street Journal. Israel Iszawa's strongest partner in the Middle East. It is unthinkable that we would stand by if it's defense we're weakened by Iran. Israel Zawa's strongest partner in the Middle East. You mean I partner in crime? Yeah, well,

I'm an American. And of course, when we talk about the asymmetry of Iran using very very cheap weapons and Israel having to you know, defend itself with extremely you know, one point three billion dollars to defend itself, that's not really a problem with them as long as they can tap into the magic money tree that we've got here. To me, right, let's just put somewhere zeros on the bank account and here, you know, here's some

made up fantasy currency. Here who cares about any of that stuff. That's why I say, it's so amazing to me. And it's such a tell, I think gerald when they don't even bother to spend any money on the border, they could easily say, well, yeah, we'll spend two hundred on the border. Who cares, right, I mean, it's just numbers on a machine to them, And so they could easily come in and say, we'll do two hundred on the board. How you feel good about that?

Now? Now we can give a hundred billion to these other wars out there. But they don't even bother with that. They don't even bother to try to uh save face, or to try to make themselves look good to the voters because they don't care even to make that effort anymore. You're right, they're crazy people. Yeah, yeah, why you ask you ask a murderer why they're a murderer, a thief, why they're a thief, A rapist why they're a rapist? These are crazy demand people that are the inmates

are running the asylum. That's right, that's right. Yeah. Why did they rob America? Well that's because that's where the money is. That's what the Willie Sutton's at the bank robbery. Why do you keep riving banks? Well, because that's where the money is. That's why they're robbing America because that's where the money is. That's where the money is manufactured. You know, that's about the only thing we manufactured anymore is a Fiat currency. Twenty

six point three eight billion in military aid. That's what's going. That's they're trying to push through, which they probably will fit Israel. Wow, it keep slaughtering innocent people. Yeah, as our country's rotting in front of us. Yeah, that's right, that's right. Yeah. And we've had and I think there's going to be another aspect of it as well. I think we've been getting some shots across the bow. You alluded to one of them

at a nuclear power plant. We also they're actually admitting, which is very rare. I guess it's because it's not a very important asset. But they had a water system that was cyber attacked and that might have been another warning shot across the bow. And we can do this to your entire infrastructure. That's the key thing I think that weren't looking at this. Most of the time. They go to absurd links to try to persuade people that this was

not a state actor that was trying to attack our infrastructure. And of course there's easier ways to do it. When you got a wide open border, anything can be taken out of the infrastructure and that kind of a situation. But these cyber attacks make it very easy for them to pretty much shut down anything anywhere. And I think we're seeing demonstrations of this on a regular basis, even though that's not the way it's reported in the mainstream media. What

do you think, You're right and it's just a beginning. It's going to keep happening. Yeah, you know, I was a keynote speaker at Virginia Military Institute back in early two thousands. They brought me there to talk about one of my I was talking about my book New Millennium Warfare, really different, totally different warfare, and Sagary is going to be part of it. Oh you know, there's another quote in here by Biden in his op eds

piece. Israel is facing unprecedented attacks from Iran and Ukraine is facing continued bombardment from Russia that has intensified dramatically in the last month. The House must pass the package this week. And the Senate should quickly follow. I will sign this into law immediately. You're ready to send the message to the world. Quote, we stand with our friends and we won't let Iran or Russia succeed. That's Biden. Yeah, yeah, that's They're not my friends. I'm

an American and I believe in the founding fathers, like George Washington. Well, Biden thinks that is I mentioned twice this week that is grandfather or something was eaten by cannibals. He's out in La La. There's somebody else who's actually running that show there. He is totally off off the reservation when it comes to that. But yeah, well we stop at that, stop at that, because that shows you how out of their minds they are. Yeah, oh yeah, and that's why I'm saying they're going to take us to

nuclear annihilation. This is a guy talking about his uncle being eaten by cannibals. I mean, and he's our president. Yeah, oh yeah, I know. Yeah. It truly is amazing where this whole thing is headed, and it really is going down the tubes. But again, there are things that we just have to we have to understand that we can make a difference. Individually and we can stand up and we can. That's why you do occupy peace, that's why you take a look at what is happening economically.

There are still things that we can do and we just don't surrender. I mean, we are not suicidal and we are not without hope. And that's the key thing is to make sure that we never get to that point. We'd have to take a clear look and not turn away from what is on the horizon. And we're not called to be Pollyanna about it, and just you know, well I don't see that. I don't want to see that.

There's a lot of ugly stuff that is there that we need to clearly look at and we need to stand up clearly and oppose it without being intimidated. And I really do appreciate you doing that.

Like two fifty a week?

Or something? Is that? Yeah, it's an amazing bargain and just from the financial standpoint as well, but also getting a heads up as to what is coming. He looks at the full spectrum of everything. It's not filled with fluff about Taylor Swift left or the ballerinas on their toes times. I'm surprised that there's still even a performing arts place or Broadway in New York. I thought all that stuff was gone with the wind after the lockdown. I'm

surprised that there's still still things like that happening in New York. Isn't New York is dead now at twelve o'clock at night. It's all different places, it's all different city everywhere. Everything's changed in the COVID War. The damage is incalculable. And of course Eric Adams is continuing to do the kind of stuff that Sadiq Khan is doing in the UK in terms of you know,

congestion, pricing and all the rest of this stuff. They're thinking of everything they can do to make it impossible for people to even get into New York with a car, let alone, keep these Broadway open or any of the arts places open. Of course they're all going to shut down. If they shut down that kind of transportation. Who wants to get on the subway. It's like, you know, it's like escape from New York. You know it's turned subway area is absolutely crazy, isn't it? Good Night in Calcutta.
