Wed Episode #2214: OpenAI vs. Anthropic: The Military AI Split

the legislature unanimously. No one, not even a Republican anywhere, voted against this. And it shows us yet again how they're weaponizing just even ordinary computers, let alone artificial intelligence. There's a huge blowback now against open Ai and sam Altman because they will cross those red lines. They will do mass surveillance for the Pentagon, they will use autonomous killer robots, use their software for that, and people are pushing back against that. We're going to take a look

at the lies of war. You know, the first casualty of truth, first casualty of war is truth. And we have an abundance of lies that are being fed out by both sides. We'll be right back with this. Well, let's begin with the hubrists, the boasting and the lies about war, and so let's start with Trump. Trump is saying the US has virtually unlimited supply of stockpiles of weapons. He's talking about these anti missile things.

and maybe a career ender for them as well. And what he was saying was that dan Kine was very clear about the fact that we were low on m O and allies is that we have used so many of these missiles for Israel and for Ukraine. You know, we don't have that many for ourselves, and it's going to be a real issue for this operation because they don't have that many. So then Trump comes out and says just the opposite, because he has no trouble lying to your face no matter how absurd the lie. Trump

and his regime like people like warpete. They are perfectly up to the task of looking you right in the eye and telling you an absurd lie that everybody knows is not true. So Trump said yesterday that the US has virtually unlimited supply of weapons. Let's talk about that. The production rate they've said of the Iranian government in terms of these missiles is about one hundred a month, about one hundred a month. The production rate of the

anti missiles is about three per month. That would be a pretty big problem right away if it was a one to one correspondence, but it's not so I said many times as well. When you look at these anti missile defense systems, it's very different than the usual defender attacker ratio. Usually the advantages with the defender, and you need to have superior forces and numbers as the attacker, see the other way around. When you are trying to

shoot down these missiles. It generally takes two to three of these anti missile missiles to take down one of the missiles, so they would need to have production of two or three hundred of these things a month. Instead they've got six to seven. They're about anywhere from thirty three to forty three times less than what they actually need. They have to up their production thirty three to forty

three times. But that doesn't stop Trump from looking at you and looking right at the camera and lying to your face, just like we had. Who's the guy that did the PCR test, Carrie Melo said about Anthony Fauci, because I think I'll look you right in the eye in the camera and he'll lie straight to the camera. So will Trump. I wonder why they ever wound up partnering you think anyway? He says our medium and upper medium grade have never been higher or better. He said,

we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Our wars can be fought forever. Didn't he just tell us this wasn't going to be a forever war.

It's hard to tell when you look at these videos of things out there, and I haven't shown very many of these, and you can kind of take most of them with a grain of salt. However, I've noticed that people are going in and you can see in the comment some people will debunk it and say, well, that's an old picture that was some place in Turkey that got bombed five years ago or something like that. Somebody has put that up and said this is Jerusalem today.

And so you got some debugging that's going on with people, and some people are asking, hey, Groc, is this for real? And people are making fun of that. But actually Groc is pretty sharp in terms of being able to see some kind of a watermark that's there, or identifying some of the hallmarks of artificial intelligence. I got to say it's a lot better at spotting that stuff than I am. I hate to say that we want to turn over some decisions like that to it, so I just haven't

used that stuff too much. But this purports to be an attack on Jerusalem that was widely published on X and I didn't see anybody making a case that this wasn't real. I saw a lot of people making the case that it was real. Groc made the case that it was real as well. Massive amount of missiles coming in, and the comments were that there appears to be some kind of an Iranian missile that has eighty sub missile clusters, and it's some kind of a subcluster, right, and so

we multiply that out by eighty. That disadvantage that we have in terms of numerics that are there, worst can have you fought forever? Said Trump. We've noticed, as a matter of fact, he campaigned to promise that he wouldn't do that. Now he's boasting that he can do that. And we're better than other countries. We have the finest arms, we have a good supply the end, but it's not where we want to be. And so then he blamed Biden

for the stockpile not being where it should be. He said, Sleepy Joe, spend all this time and all of our country's money giving everything to P. T. Barnum Zelensky of Ukraine. And while he gave so much of the super high end stuff away for free, he didn't bother to replace it. He said, So the US has stocked and we're ready to win big was his conclusion. So we can't be defeated. But by the way, if we are, it'll be Biden's fault. You know that, right, And you know he does deserve

to blame for a lot of this stuff. Well, Joe McGregor had this to say.

this stuff. To me, I look at it. I'm not a naval expert by far, but it seems to me like that increases the vulnerability for the naval ships that are doing the guarding as well. It puts them in a very difficult position because I don't know relative to the size of ships anything, how how large the straight of Hord moves is. But they called it straight because it's kind of narrow, especially considering where they usually are

able to maneuver. So it puts you between a rock and a hard place, not between a rock and Iran. And so if you're there having to maneuver in this small area and trying to guard these ships, that puts our naval ships at risk as well, but also puts all of us at risk financially. And so a lot of people are looking at some of these missiles that are coming into Jerusalem and saying, where did this stuff come from? Was this Iranian? Or was this given by

Russia and China? Well, Trump is vowed in spite of all this, the big one is coming. We're getting ready to unleash something really, really big. So the big wave, he said, hasn't even happened. The big one is coming soon.

And Marco Rubio is echoing that as well. I guess trying to get back into Trump's good graces after the devastating candor of what he had to say the other day, in terms of, well, we decided to go ahead and do it because Israel was going to do it, So we have to follow them whatever they're doing, so they dictate the timing, and folks, let me just say this, Yes, the Trump administration deserves criticism for being followers of Israel

and not doing things in our interests. Absolutely, they deserve criticism, but look, they were pushed into this, and we know that they are getting a lot of money from Israel, and they're owned by Israel, as Trump has said, right he said, you used to own Congress, and rightfully so. But they're not doing what you want to do. Send me, I'll do everything that you want to do, so we know where this is going. However, we also know that the US government is responsible for us own decisions, isn't

it let's not let Trump off the hook. He wanted this war. I mean, he's done these sayings, he's done for Israel. He's done them because he wants to. But he's responsible for his own actions, and so is Marco Rubio. They can't push this off in another country. It's despicable that they are letting another country dictate to them what to do. But it is their decision. They need to

own it. And we have seen already that they are pirates, terrorists, starting unjust wars, in other words, wars where we are the aggressor, and then conducting them in a way that is criminal, even if it was a legitimate conflict, executing people who are shipwrecked. I'm disgusted with this terrorist government of Washington. They literally are terrorists. And so now you're saying the big one is coming and we're going to be doing even more. I've got apoptosis twenty two, says David.

Was wondering who the false figwas. Well, they're keeping that in reserve to go a boots from the ground move. I fear. Yeah, you're probably right. It's going to be some kind of a morale builder or something that they use for escalation because already there is a lot of pushback.

The American public was not on board with this war, did not want to see this war, and already there's a political price to pay for this, and so they're going to Like I said, I should have thought about the fact that Trump always does whatever he wants and then faces the consequences later. He doesn't think about whether or not it's a wise move. He certainly doesn't think about whether or not it's legal or constitutional. He just does it and then he deals with the lawsuits and

the fights after the fact. So, yeah, I believe that it will be coming. So he says, we'll do this as long as it takes to advance those objectives, and we will achieve those objectives. The world will be a safer place when we're done with this operation. That, Folks, is the ultimate lie. All of his actions, even the kidnapping of Maduro, immediately raised the threshold of uncertainty. People saying, Okay, well Trump has done this, so now we can do

it as well. The Russian politicians said, well he has untied our hands. These types of things matter. Precedent Trump, and he's setting precedents internationally, not just bad precedents. In our country as well. Wallie Rawler says, everyone in the government is owned by Israel. Well, that's absolutely true, and so that's a big part of it. They are, still, however,

responsible for their actions. I've heard people let Trump off the hook so many times because they said, well, in COVID, he was just getting bad advice from people, was bad advice some people who work for him, bad advice from people that he put in that position or whatever. He's still responsible for it, just like Harry Truman said, the buck stops here, and it does. Don't let them off

the hook either. It's bad enough that they're owned, but they have betrayed the constitution in Americans as well on the Iran war. They think you are stupid. This is an article from the American Conservative, and they're absolutely right. Trump thinks Americans are stupid. Yeah, and especially Republicans. I mean he said that, he said, if I ever run for president, I'll run as a Republican because they're stupid, they'll.

Savakh so he could oppress his own people. And so it was a ninety That was seventy three years ago, nineteen fifty three, and they put up with that for about thirty six years, pretty amazing before it really blew up and blew back on us. That is a classic case a blowback. It is a classic case of regime change failure. It's one of the very first ones we did, and all of them are failures. Trump's many reasons amounted

to really no reason at all. Is an intellectually no, he said, any intellectually honest observer was left fairly clueless as to what he was talking about. Entered Congress, more specifically the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which posted on x congratulating the President on ending Iran's forever war with the United States. We've been the aggressor attacking Iran for seventy

three years now. We did have that little Iran Contra affair where the Reagan administration made friends with the ITOLA for a while so that they could get dirty money that they could use to run their secret dirty war against the Contras. They sold them spare equipment for the jets that we had given the totalitarian dictator of the SHAW.

And you had Bill Casey, Reagan's CIA campaign manager, who personally went to Iran and got them to agree they would not release the hostages until Reagan took office, so they would hold them even after Reagan won election. So we have been cooperative with Iran in the past. But again Trump is sending the forever war. That is ending the forever war that Iran has waged against Americans for the last forty seven years. Wrote the House Foreign Affairs

Committee on social media. The problem is very large. It's not limited strictly to Trump, is it? So? According to this bipartisan committee, a war has been going on between Iran and the US for nearly half a century, actually three quarters of a century, but it was on our side.

wants to have another war center. Lindsay Graham is.

We can lift up the call being made by some groups to impeach, not only Trump, but every single member of his cabinet who had a hand in making this unjust and illegal war possible. Let me tell you something that's not going to happen. Democrats secretly want this war as well. They also take money from Israel. But just take a look at what they Why would they impeach Trump. This guy is albatross around the GOP and they know it. He's going to pull them down like Jimmy Carter pull the Democrats down.

He's a lot more controlled than Donald Trump is. They don't want to have that situation in there, so they will get control of the Congress in this next election and they will do some kind of an impeachment thing, but they won't take it all the way to the end because they don't want to remove Trump. They want to use it for political capital. They want to use it to win elections up and down, and I don't want to see the Democrats winning elections of it, especially

at the state and local level. But that's kind of where we are right now, between two awful and evil choices. But when you look at what happened with all this is why I keep going back to what happened in twenty twenty when Trump went to war with the American

people for globalist agenda. I mean, he outed himself right there as being a diet in the role Rold Economic Forum, globalist in terms of his goals, in terms of his actions, terms of everything he did, locking us down, taking our jobs, getting us trying to move the Overton window towards universal basic income, every single aspect of what he did with that was a betrayal. That's why I look at this a lot of what a lot of people are saying. It's almost like this is the first time they've noticed.

It was so clear and still is. Especially it should be even more clear now if you have lost the spell that he cast over the MAGA people. Our elected officials need to publicly explain why they hemmed and hawed over a war powers resolution before these attacks occurred, despite the obvious military build up.

of dollars. And even further, they need to explain their conflicts of interest and why they continue to profit off of this death and destruction, lawmakers who take money from groups like APAC that are relishing in this war. Especially and when you look at the warfare of the welfare state, it's funny to me how Republicans can get rightfully upset about welfare fraud. They seem to not care at all

about warfare fraud. You know, what about all these this massive fraud and waste that we see in military systems and procurement. How about the trillions of dollars that went missing right before nine to eleven, and then they flew the missile right into the window of the office that was doing the investigation. What about that, Well, the White House is acting like it's losing the Iran narrative. Rights

Media eight. They said seventy seven percent of Republicans approve of the operation, and of self identified MAGA voters are nearly fifty point. It's more likely than non MAGA Republicans to trust Trump on the use of force in Iran. Yeah, the double think is strong. The force is strong with this one. So why is the Republican Why is the White House acting like it's losing the narrative? Because the polling isn't the problem, but their narrative is.

said at the up the front. Those numbers are coming from Rubio. So if those are the public numbers imagined, what the real numbers are like, It's like anything else. They're talking about inflation, unemployment, we're talking about military strength. Always going to lie to you about this stuff. So again, if they are making one hundred of these missiles and we need three interceptors, two or three interceptors per missile, we need two or three hundred of these things a

month just to break even. But we're producing six to seven, not two or three hundred. So the White House recognized the hazard almost immediately. What followed wasn't routine communications, it was damage control with a specific target. Matt Waalsh had made comments on social media, and Caroline Levitt didn't respond at the podium. Instead, she sent the response directly to him on social media, which is really, as they point

out here, and admission of concern and of weakness. So Matt Walsh had written that the administration's messaging was, to put it mildly confused. Now that is very mild.

When that's your response, you're not communicating confidence. You're trying to drown ambiguity before it hardens. Trump himself made the anxiety visible. Onto asked whether Israel had forced his hand. He didn't dismiss the question, but he flipped it. No, I might have forced their hand. He said, this is if anything, I forced Israel's hand. What does that remind you of? It reminds me of John Lovett when he used to do the liar on a Saturday Night Live.

Uh no, no, that is anything, I think, I forg Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket. I forced their hand. I told that to my wife, Morgan Fairchild. Right, Yeah, that's it.

is holding. And yet you know again, Republican voters alone are not going to win this any elections for them.

at least bring good charges against him. That was the problem with the impeachment stuff in twenty twenty and so forth, because the things that they were coming up with were not real concerns, not real issues, not real crimes, and it was it gave him the aura of a victim. He's not a victim, and so they need to pick the real issues. And there is a target rich environment of things to impeach Donald Trump for in just this

first year. I've never seen anybody in my lifetime who's had such utter contempt for the rule of law, of the Constitution and basic morality as Donald Trump. I hope they get him better. But like I said, you were, you know, they're not. They don't want to push him out of office. They don't want JD. Vance in there, and of course they have to unless there's a big change in the Senate. Even if the House were to impeach him, the Senate is not going to actually convict

him on that. He's a man without convictions. We could say, in every sense of the word, love it. Directly replying to Walsh, Trump personally flipping the I forced them framing. Those moves signal to the broader media ecosystem that this line of criticism has enough bite to warrant presidential attention. And you don't send the Secretary of State Rubio back to try to do damage control if something's not hurting you.

And this is what he did. Here's a clip. You'll hear him the original thing that he said, and then you'll hear him going back and trying to do damage control and trying to walk this back.

not just dishonest liars. They are so stupid that they don't realize that people are going to put those two clips next to each other, just like Christine Home when she said, yeah, the agents were under attack, they were stuck in the snow, and these people trying to hit them with their cars just makes up the story. And Trump did the same thing. And when he was in the Oval office and being interviewed by the New York Times and they questioned him about the situation there, and

he said, oh, this is what happened. No, that's not what happened. And he goes get the tape. Let's show them. I'll show them what this is. He'd obviously never even bothered to look at the tape, and when he saw the tape, he didn't have anything to say. He was, well, you know, and then he changed the subject to something completely different. They just Christine Home, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio. They tell you that what you have seen with your own eyes, even if it's them talking, they tell you

that that's not what happened. And so then we have Tucker Carlson who made an interesting statement. He said that authorities in Saudi Arabia and Cutter had arrested Israeli Massad agents planning bombings in those countries. And then Cutter Foreign Ministry came back and pushed back against that, and so that didn't happen. Tucker Carlson said, why would the Israelis be committing bombings and golf countries which are also being attacked by Iran? Aren't they on the same side. Here's that clip.

And the third thing you would have to do if you wanted true control over the region is get the US out of the Middle East. And this war is designed to do it, because the Israelis know that there is no appetite whatsoever for casualties and that this would cause a political crisis in the United States, would most critically convince our Arab allies that the United States is a bad ally Sadia Ramco facility.

will come rescue you. Well, guess what we just learned. The US is not coming to rescue you.

or you get fired. That's probably the most honest thing the guy has ever said, and he told you right there that he was lying for the man, he was lying for the establishment, he was lying for the CIA. And so when you look at COVID, same situation. He is more than happy to take the big checks from Fox News and deceive people. He might do an occasional eye roll as to what they're saying about something, but he wasn't going to attack it head on. He wasn't

going to tell you the truth. Be careful with Tucker. I agree with him on a lot of different issues, and I just them on some issues, but do not trust him at all. He's got some interesting guests because he's got a big name show, but do not trust this guy. So some people point out and Cutter, it's a crime to publish fake news like Tucker Carlson just did. You can land a person a five year prison sentence or a fine that amounts to about twenty eight thousand dollars.

Of course, that would mean nothing to Tucker Cralson. It'll be interesting to see what Cutter does given that Tucker just bought a home there any of them confiscated them home.

seriously injured. And it wasn't multiple things that happened. It was one particular incident. The six service members confirmed dead were killed while inside a triple wide trailer that Pete Hegseth described as quote fortified. The trailer, which served as a makeshift operations center, took a direct hit amid Iran's retaliatory strikes and Kuwait just after nine am Local times Sunday. Central commands said eighteen troops have also been seriously wounded,

while others are suffering minor shrapnel wounds and concussions. Yeah, fortified trailer, is that right? I'm reminded. At one point I was interviewing with Harris Semiconductro. I wanted to move

back to Florida. To be closer to my family. The group I was interviewing with was tracking satellites and they had they they were operating out of a trailer and the UH trailers don't do too well with hurricanes or tornadoes, and so what these guys did as a joke and they showed me they went up on the roof of the of the trailer and they were this is not a trailer. I guess maybe that's the fortification that Pete Haig said they do. You go up there and you write,

this is not a trailer. This is not These are not the soldiers that you're looking for Iran, except that they weren't really protected. You know, you're not really protected in a trailer like that anyway. Source told CNN there was no warning of the attack. Not only did the air defense not go off, but there was no air raid siren that went off. Struck in the Port of Kuwait, no siren was activated to alert troops to evacuate. There were dozens of people inside the building at the time.

The walls of the building were blown outward in the blast, according to pictures of the site, with a fire that was still burning hours afterward. Early on Monday, before the bodies of two servicemen were recovered. Hegseth had said that one projectile made it through air defenses and hit a tactical operation center that was fortified. This guy is going to lie to you about everything they always do. Trump said, sadly,

there'll be more like this before it ends. And I'm afraid he's right about that, telling you the truth about that. US troops told Trump's attack on Iran is signal fire for armageddon. Multiple commanders across all branches of the US military have offered a fundamentalist Christian explanation for the attack on Iran. Folks, Let's just understand something. This is not Christianity. Christianity is focused on the Lord Jesus Christ as the way. It is not focused on geopolitics. It's not focused on

fortune telling. What's the end of the world going to look like. You've got these megachurches like Ken Hagy. I think it is John Hagey. John Hagu's his name, and I always meant to go check that out one I thought I could stand seeing it. I was kind of curious. That's in San Antonio. So on Sunday I went to go down there and see what this clown is up to He brings in politicians from Israel, ambassadors and such like that, all the time flags of Israel behind him,

and he literally worships Israel and he pushes this. Be careful of people who major in trying to focus on revelation. They completely missed the fact that the letter was titled the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they treat it as divination of the end of the world. So they lecture from the Book of Divinations. They're fortune tellers, are like the Witch of Endoor, and that's what they're focused on. And I don't care if they've got the

prophecy right or not. They may have it right, who knows. But the way they use it is like debonation. And what they get focused on in terms of politicians and foreign governments it is idolatry and they replace the Lord Jesus Christ with net and Yahoo. How disgusting is that?

So the commander of the unit said one person urged us to tell our troops that this is all part of God's divine planning, specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation regarding AMAgeddon and the eminent return of Jesus Christ. He said that Trump had been anointed by Jesus to light the first signal fire in Iran, to cause armageddon and to mark his return to Earth. He had a big grin on his face, which made his message seem even crazier.

makes their ships unusable. Ezekiel states that odd quote in the fury of his wrath will send a great earthquake in the lend of Israel, so that the fish of the sea and the birds of the hell of heaven, and the beast of the field, and all creeping things that creep on the earth shall shake at the presence of God Mountain.

not Christianity at all. And then we have, in terms of talking about principles, we have Tulsa Gabbert, this is not that peace from the American Conservative saying she should resign. And the person writes this says, well, we all know that politics is, as the adage goes, the art of compromise, but it shouldn't involve sacrificing first principles. That's the key thing, right, if you're going to sacrifice that, why would you even

put that adjective? There is first principles. You've got to have some principles that matter, some things that are foundational, and you don't compromise on those things. And so he says it's difficult for ideologues to try to wield substantial power. Everyone in politics has determined just how far they're willing to compromise to be productive before violating their own principles or even losing their soul to the process. Well, I would say that, you'd maybe call me an idea log

but I would say, you don't violate your principles. Now, you can compromise a lot of different things that are there, but not your principles. It's clear that after this weekend and the joint unprovoked American Israeli attack on Iran Director of National Intelligence Tulsa Gabbard must choose to resign or forfeit any respectability in the America First Movement, not just

the America First Movement, any respectability at all. And the sad thing is is that if you look at this, if she is doing this for political advantage, for career advantage, she would be better off to take a principal stand.

Now she has stood over and over again. He goes to this article talking about how many times during her presidential campaign and when she was elected to Congress, all the different times that she has taken a stand against endless wars, against regime change, and now she's going to be silent.

at peace. But she says the right thing. But then when it comes time to do it, she backs off. She said, we are uniting forces to end foreign wars. During her confirmation hearing, she had to reverse her longtime opposition to keep provisions of the FAIZA. I remember that for an intelligent surveillance aide. I said, right then, now it's over right. You've seen RFK Junior do the same thing,

violatest principles over and over again again. The latest one of those is what he's done with glyphysset, praising Trump's executive order to not only compel greater production of glyphysset, but also to give them legal immunity from lawsuits as they have paid out tens of billions of dollars, and there have been hundreds of thousands of cases, and the jurys have looked at these, and you've had scientific studies. We know how harmful this is. And jurys have awarded

tens of billions of dollars to victims of monsanto. Trump is going to give them legal immunity from that, and he's going to push for production greater production of this poison again. And then RFK Jr. Joins along with them.

Rf K Junior knows it's the wrong thing. Telsea Gabbard knows this is the wrong thing as well as a matter of fact, Even though she caved on Faiza, she refused to label ed Snowden a trader or to condemn his exposure of mass illegal surveillance by the NSSA, So some people held out a little bit of hope for her.

Gabbard confirmed in congressional testimony that Iran is quote not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Kamani has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in two thousand and three, and that's the same conclusion that her predecessors had reached twenty years earlier. But when Trump undermined her influence, including telling reporters flatly, well, I don't care what she says. You know, she's the director of National Intelligence.

He doesn't care what she has to say. He's going to do whatever he wants. He's going to listen to Israel anyway. Gabbard tried to straddle the fence, and she said Iran can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks or months if they decide to finalize the assembly. Restatement of

our initial conclusion. Rewarded to follow the president. Well, the US bombed Iron's nuclear facilities last year, there was a public discussion over whether Gabbard was on her way out and disappointment from her former supporters that she was not making a more forthright stand on the facts, But she caved on that as well. During a security summit and Bahrain, she gave a full throated condemnation of neo conservative arrogance

and foreign policy. She said, for decades, our foreign policy has been trapped in a counterproductive, endless cycle of regime change or nation building. It was a one size fits all approach of toppling regimes. And we have Iatola's in charge of Iran today precisely because of the bone headed, stupid foreign policy of regime change that we did in nineteen fifty three in Iran. That is a failure of some of our first off and it's been failing for

seventy three years. We've been failing at regime change longer than we've been failing at the drug war. Imagine that.

passenger ships from carrying ammunition. In the aftermath of the sinking of the Lusitania were a hundred twenty eight Americans were killed. Woodrow Wilson's provocative response to the German government to that Brian submitted his resignation rather than carry out the policy that got us involved.

same example, write says author of The American Conservative. She should resign her post in opposition to the Iran war and publicly condemned Trump's betrayal of the American people and the betrayal of his promise of no more endless wars. She could have a long career of ad and public

service ahead of her if she has principles. I really don't know what happens if she continues to go down the same course that she has of compromising on fundamental principles again, she could be even a formidable candidate for president because many people I wouldn't vote for her as too much baggage. As a matter of fact, part of the baggage that Telsea Gabbert has is that she was pro life before she desired to have a seat in Congress. She had to run as a Democrat, so she changed

her positions on that. She's not pro life when it comes to war either, now is she? And so she does an abortion flip flop, she does a war and regime change flip flop. She's just another opportunist and we should understand that we're going to take a quick break before we do again. A couple of comments. There's stell Patriot, thank you very much for the tip. He says, I'm not even dis point in the politicians. They just do what they're always do Yeah, it's in their nature, right,

lying and stealing. It's the voters that allow them to get away with it that is the disappointment.

down and have a meal without a mask. I had to wear the mask and show that I was obedient to the government before they would seek me at one of their tables. I said to that I called him over. I did this multiple times. I wouldn't go to the chains because I knew the chains were just run by

employees and they didn't really care about profits. But I thought, well, I mean, maybe I've had a small business before, and I know that you don't want to puy in your relationship with your customers and you're looking at the bottom line. You don't want to turn people away. So then let me talk to them about this. Twice I call people over and made a scene and I said, look at this. Everybody is sitting here, nobody is wearing a mask, and you're telling me that I can't get into this restaurant

unless I first put on a mask. And so what's that about. You know, that's not changing anything. And you know that these people once they're sitting down and they don't have a mask and they're eating, they can stand up and they walk around the restaurant and they can go to the restroom and all that kind of stuff. You don't hassle them. Well, you have to do it. I was like, no, I don't you know. Finally I had said both of them. I said, and there's something

else I don't ever have to do. Ever come back to your restaurant. You're dead to me. I'm never coming back to this place. If you're going to be like that, if you're going to sell the rope that is used to hang you, I'm not coming back. Oh yeah, I'm disappointed in Americans in a big way. Tornador, thank you for the tip. Apparently that quote where Trump said he'd run as a Republican because there's stupid is fake.

the character that's played by Jimmy Stewart. I don't want to have anything to do with either side of this thing, and yet we're going to be caught up in this one way or the other, whether we like it or not.

has an element in it. I believe that is crony capitalism because when you look at this, the effect that it's going to have is going to be to effectively outlaw things like Linux. Who benefits from that? Microsoft, Google, Apple, those people who are putting those things in they will benefit from that. Specifically Microsoft and Apple will benefit with their OS systems. They don't want to have any independent third party things that we're seeing this over and over again.

You notice how our masters are so upset when we talk to each other, when we can communicate with each other. They've got to control that, and they've got to control any ability that we have to make or create things as well. It's not just you'll own nothing and you'll be happier, but you will also not create anything either. That's a big part of this. So as California law goes into effect January twenty twenty seven, and it will

basically kill open source operating systems. California wants to build a surveillance layer into every device that is residents touch. This is from Reclaim the Net assembly build ten forty three, signed by Gavin Newsom, taking effect the first day of next year January the first, twenty twenty seven, requires every operating system provide to collect age information from users at account setup and broadcast that data to app developers through

a real time API. The proposals are particularly dumb for open source Linux operating systems. Linux exists specifically because some people want computing that doesn't surveil them. I mean, you look at what is happening with Microsoft and how they're embedding their AI into the operating system, and it's being they've taken the surveillance and a naggy aspect of this even more so. And people are talking about Micross slop

software talking about AI. It's very intrusive and people trying to get away from that so they go to Linux. It's not incidental to why the platform exists, it is foundational to why people go to Linux. And there's other operating systems out there as well. Distributions like arch wn Gen two have no centralized account infrastructure, and that is by design. Users download ISOs from mirrors and they modify source code freely, and they run systems that report to nobody.

So this Act AB ten forty three treats the entire architecture of open source computing as a compliance problem. They don't want you to have open source computing. They don't want you to have three D printers, they don't want you to have anything. You'll own nothing and you'll create nothing, and you know, they will complete control everything we have if we let them. I've just never seen anything like it.

Just want to go through the news. It's one thing after the other with a government interjecting themselves into points of our life where they don't have any business, where they don't have any authority being, and where they've never tried to get before. It's exploding. And the thing that is at the very center of it is the technology. And I think that's one of the aspects of the crony capitalism here. You know, they get that control over us through these big companies, and I want to keep

these big companies as partners. That's the kind of techno fascism that we're looking at here to create the surveillance state, and understand that it is bipartisan. It passed the House thirty eight to zero, and they have some Republicans in the California House, and in the Senate it passed seventy six to zero. Buffy Wicks is the person who authored the bill. That should tell you something it. Buffy said that it avoids constitutional concerns by focusing strictly on age

assurance and not on content moderation. Now, first of all, before we get into the double talk nonsense that that's all about, just think about the fact that in California, they want your kids to be indoctrinated with all the LGBT stuff. They want them to think that they're in the wrong body. They want them every aspect of the LGBTs stuff they're pushing to them, and they're trying. They're very adamant that children should be able to mutilate sterilize

their bodies at a very early age. And yet they want to control what computers they touch. What's that about, and have age restrictions on using a computer and an operating system, but not age restrictions on taking hormones to destroy your body and having a surgeon cut it up. No age restrictions on that how utterly insane. And as they point out, that statement itself doesn't logically hold up. What is the point of the monitoring of the age, Well,

we're just looking for the age. We're not going to do anything to control your content. Well, that's the whole purpose of finding out your age is to control the content that you're going to be able to get access to. What a thin lie that is. And yet it passed genanimously. Everybody in state government, every single persons in the California House, every single person in the California Senate, and the governor

himself all support this nonsense. So the law actually builds a persistent age signaling infrastructure that has woven into the startup process of your devices. OS providers must maintain what the bill calls a quote reasonably consistent real time application programming interface. The sorts users into four age brackets. And this is not the first time we've seen this. This is a global agenda. We've seen this in foreign countries

as well. They all do the same thing, whether it's a traffic light permission system like they've pushed on us with COVID first, China did it with social credits, and they did it with COVID or whether it's this for age brackets under thirteen thirteen to under sixteen, sixteen to under eighteen eighteen year older. I'm chuckling as I look at this because I'm thinking what we could do is

we could name these after different predators in the Epstein files. Right, Well, you're in the Trump bracket here, or you're in the Lutnik bracket, or you're the Jeffrey bracket here. That'd be the least one, I guess. But anyway, it's truly it's very very transparent what they're trying to do. They're setting up a police surveillance state. And so when I go back and I say, so, what is it? You know they don't want the kids to get access to pornography.

We've had some LGP LGBT advocates out there saying, well, porn is actually good for the LGBT kids, it trains them or whatever. It's like, yeah, I bet it does, And so are they really trying to keep pornography away? That's typically something that Republicans do. It's not something you think about the Democrat LGBT party doing. I think fundamentally this is about. This is about grooming kids for the police surveillance state. You've got to get them accustomed to

not having freedom with anything. I think that's really what they're after here. It's not there to protect them against some kind of sexual predator, sexual content or whatever. They're actually pushing that in the schools. This is about getting

them accustomed to the police surveillance state. If you stop and think about it, I said this back in the nineties when they were doing lockdowns and schools and they had you know, metal detectors and all this kind of stuff that they put in the schools, I said, that's training for the police state. This is training for the police state. In my opinion, that's exactly what this is to me.

verification like government issued ID checks. And again, typically it's going to be in Republican controlled states like Texas and Utah where they're going to try to make the case we've got to do this for the kids. This is simply about grooming for the police surveillance state. I'm kind of surprised that Reclaim the Net doesn't see it that way.

Developers who receive the signal are deemed to have actual knowledge of their user's age range under the law that change and legal liability is a mechanism that makes the whole system work. Penalties will run up to twenty five hundred dollars per affected child for negligent violation and seventy five hundred dollars for intentional ones. Developers now have strong financial incentives to request every age signal available. So what do they do with CLINICX. I mean, who do you

find linux or mains be seen? But basically they're just criminalize it. It'll be a black market operating system if it's open source, if it's somebody that's a big tech company in California, oh well, then you work with us, like they know your customer rules for the banks and so forth. But if not, you are persona no garrada and you may wind up getting the fine yourself. I don't know exactly how that's going to operate. DOJ has

briefly abandoned Trump's unconstitutional orders that targeting law firms. Well, administration's capricious behavior underlies the inherent problem with giving a single person so much power. Well, he was never given this power. He usurped it or it was just abandoned and abdicated by the other branches of government, including state governments, in terms of doing this. But this goes back to one of the first things that he did. There were

these Democrat law firms. Some of them were there working with his Democrat enemies like Soros and so forth, and some of them had been long associated with Hillary Clinton, like Perkins Koi, and some of them had had In one particular case, there was a lawyer who had taken leave of absence from the law firm and he was working on some of this election stuff in twenty twenty that Trump didn't like. He was on the opposing side of it. And then he went back to that law firm.

And so now the entire law firm, if you remember this, at the very beginning, he said, he singled out some of these law firms. He said, they're not going to have security clearance, which immediately takes a lot of cases off the table for them. And then he went even further, said, as a matter of fact, they're not even going to be allowed into federal buildings. And so we do something crazy like that, crazy and vindictive, and you do it to law firms. These are large law firms. Of course

they're going to sue you back. And so what we had was this lawsuit that he kicked off. And now what you had was the Department of Justice came back and said, all right.

Trump is always capricious and odious. That's what Taco stands for. And it is truly amazing and how petty this is, how personal it all is. As I said, even the things that he does with foreign countries. You've got Spain did not do something that he wanted them to do in support of what he's doing with Iran. So he just decides that he's going to block exports from Spain in the United States just like that. He's not playing geopolitics, he's playing ego politics. None of this has anything to

do with economics. It all has to do with egoonomics. And so they changed their name within twenty four hours.

this way. They understood human nature, and they did it the way they did it to protect us against people like Donald Trump. After re entering office last year, Trump issued executive orders against more than a dozen law firms favored by Democrats. The orders imposed unworkable restrictions that would have prevented the firms from representing any clients in any federal case, and the types of things that I had mentioned before.

and Expression. He said, even if you share the president's dim view of big law, and I do, and I've criticize these law firms, and what they've done in the past as well. Consider that his actions set a dangerous precedent again, President Trump, that will outlast his administration in

the future. Perhaps lawyers who represented Republican politicians, or who challenged mail in voting procedures, or who defended abortion restrictions will face retributions instead of the Democrats with this, because that's what it's going to happen exactly. And you know when we talk about the flock cameras and the license plate readers and all the rest of the surveillance state and tied into the ring cameras and other things like that,

how we have said this up. It turns out that that was a big part of how they were able to track these Iranians and do the assassination of company hacked traffic cameras they had they hacked into the network of traffic cameras in Iran, and then they were able to feed all kinds that kind of information plus other kinds of information, all this geospatial intelligence. They were able to feed it into an AI program and it was going to sort out who the interesting people were there.

Remember when Michael Hayden said that he's not interested in everybody we're interested in interesting people, and now they have the tools to go through this mountain of data and find the people that they want to attack, first of all, identify them by their their politics. I'm truly amazed when I go.

what artificial intelligence is about. And that's why the Trump administration is so adamant that they want to end it was a bipartisan thing, actually, and that big beautiful bill or whatever stop any restrictions or legislation controlling artificial intelligence for a decade, and you know what will happen in a decade. They will extend it or they'll make it even worse.

of what was happening inside an enemy capital. And as I've said over and over again, it's geospatial intelligence that has been the fastest growing part of the intelligence community going back to the late nineteen nineties, and it's where James Clapper grew up, and they would have before the lockdown, they would have conventions on annual basis where they have thousands of people go to these geospatial intelligence conventions, and part of it is some other kind of AI they

would talk about. Even before they had artificial intelligence, they were doing anticipatory intelligence to predict where people are going to go. And all of this was to sort through and find interesting people, people who you didn't like their politics or you didn't like their religion. The cameras are only one part of a much more complex system, some of whose details were first reported by the Financial Times.

The loud Israel to build one to build one of what is really source familiar with the matter, called an AI powered target production machine, those capable of processing massive amounts of data. Now they're not saying this in the article, but we can read through the lines. We know that that's basically what Palentteer does. Palanteer that is their bread

and butter. And we also know, because it's back and forth between Pentagon, Pete and Anthropic that has the claud Ai, we know that Palenteer was using claud Ai for their stuff as well, so they're both involved in this. It went visual and went visual intelligence, human intelli eligence, signals intelligence, intercepted communications, satellite imagery and more. And so the visual intelligence was there with these traffic cameras right then they

had some people on the ground. Then they had signals that they would intercept as well as satellite images. They would feed all of this stuff into artificial intelligence and it would sort through this massive mountain of data, which is what it is excellent at doing. And so the massive quantity of information that would go in and they would draw out the targets the people that they want

to target. It has added to what Israel has reportedly shown to be a long standing penetration of the Iran's inner circles, which has enabled it to assassinate scores of Iran's top nuclear scientists and officials over the years, and to steal the country's nuclear archive and to kill hamasa's political leaders and Tehran. The system has proven itself before.

As a matter of fact, although the US and Iran were engaged in negotiations over Teywan's nuclear program, netnya who believed and felt that there was never going to be enough common ground to reach a deal. And of course we know that because we have seen the clips of him talking for over thirty years about how well, any day now they're going to have nuclear weapons. There's absolutely no way that Netna who was involved in any good faith negotiations with this. So he met with Trump at

the White House February eleventh. The two of them had a private meeting for nearly three hours. They only released a single photo, so they were pretty busy. You know, this is not a photo session. The talk was not about ongoing Iranian negotiations. Instead, there were drawing up plans for a joint attack well before they got into these negotiations. The negotiations were just treachery. Think about that, about what

these people are set up to do. The Electronic Freedom Foundation is filing a brief to shut down unconstitutional geofens searches. And again this is the geofense searches. We saw a little bit of that with January sixth, but they're doing it over and over again. They're setting up the surveillance States of America. We should be very concerned about geospatial intelligence,

about geofencing. The brief argues that geofense warrants, which compel companies to provide information on every electronic device in a given area during a given time period, are a digital version of the exploratory rummaging that the drafters of the Fourth Amendment specifically intended to prevent by requiring a search warrant. Unlike typical warrants, geofense warrants do not name a suspect

or even target a specific individual or device. Instead, police cast a digital dragnet demanding location data on every device in a geographic area during a time period, regardless of the device owner has any connection to the crime at all under investigation. And we've talked about places where this is really led to some horrific faults identification and consequences for people who were caught up in this drag net

simply because they were in an area. The Supreme Court agreed to hear chat reeve versus United States, in which a twenty nineteen Geofense warn't compelled Google to search the accounts of all of its hundreds of millions of users to see if any of them was within a radius

that police drew around a Northern Virginia crime scene. This area amounted to several football fields in size, and it encompassed numerous homes, businesses, and even a church and an ancient brief that was I'm sorry ancient and an amicus brief that was filed Monday. They argued that allowing this kind of sweeping power to go unchecked is inconsistent with the freedoms of a democratic society.

the physical world. Yeah eff has repeatedly argued that these high tech efforts to pull suspects out of thin air cannot be constitutional, even with a warrant. Geofense searches are just the kind of impermissible general warrants the frameworks of the constitution so reviled. And that's where we are here, folks. These people will do anything in everything to set up a police surveillance state. They're going to ban operating systems. They want to ban three D printers, and not just

because of the ghost gun stuff. That's They always come up with some kind of a rationale and some kind of a scary label for something d G eight. Thank you very much for the tip, says David. The sad part about this California tyrannical action is that it's plain to see that we have one giant UNI party. People can't and won't see it.

is their goal. That is the goal of the World Economic form. Yeah, I always think about when we talk about the UNI Party and what you said there about people can't and won't see it. I've had people leave stuff on comments about the show or the things. Yeah, David is just he hates everybody. It's like, I don'ate to everybody. I hate what these what the UNI Party is doing, and I'm trying to tell you that it's you know, the Republican Party is not your savior. The

Democrat Party is not your savior. It's both of them. That are doing this. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right.

this or whatever when they both might be evil. A good example of this, I think is what's going on right now between Anthropic and their large language model that they call Claude, and what is happening with open Ai and their large language model chat GPT, and what's going on with the Pentagon, And this is escalated over the last week. It was not even a week since the since Pentagon Pete and Trump said, oh they're woke. I want them out of here. And I don't really know

the background of the CEO or Anthropic that much. His name is Dario A Modi. I guess I don't know how to pronounced his last name. I haven't looked it up anyway, he is the one who is standing firm on these red lines that he said. And the way I see this happening is to me, this is one of the few things that people can do right now. I think why this has gotten so large, one of the few things that a lot of people can do. They're they're frustrated with this war. They don't want to

see this happening. What do you do to stop it? Well, one of the things they can do is identify somebody as part of this military industrial complex and say we don't want to have anything to do with that. So they're dropping open AI and chat GPT like hot potato with this. So as part of this argument going back and forth, the CEO Dario Amedai said, it's about the principle of standing up for what's right, and he may be sticking to this. This may be something that is genuine.

I don't know yet. They did found this company, they said, because they were concerned about the direction I think it was maybe open a open AI was going. They were concerned about the direction that was going. So they started this company and said we're going to have some We're going to put out some principles here, things that we will not do. We will not become part of mass surveillance, and we want allow this to be used for autonomous killing machines.

where Pentagon PETE is and where Trump is. They want to have mass surveillance, artificial intelligence, and it's not just this. We could see it before what they're pushing. At the very first day that Trump is there, he pushes that mRNA poison that he's so proud of in conjunction with artificial intelligence. And then he last summer, as I just said, we're going to give immunity to artificial intelligence. You can't have any local or state laws that are going to

shut down. Well, we'll see about that. People should take the same approach that Trump does and say, well, you know, we'll see about that, because the Constitution is on our side. The Tenth Amendment makes it clear that the states and the people are not dictated to by the federal government. We're the ones who created the federal government. States created

the federal government. The people created the federal government according to the document that they swear to uphold, and so hold them to that and say, you are a creature of the states and of we the people, and you don't get to tell us what we can and cannot do. We have these two red lines, said Amedai. We had them from day one, and we're still advocating for those red lines and we're not going to move away from them. Those red lines, well, they're red lines for the Pentagon

as well. Pentagon says, if you don't do mass surveillance of Americans, we're going to put you out of business. And if you don't help us with our autonomous killing machines, we're going to put you out of business. So it doesn't show the judgment that a human soldier would show, said Amadai about Ai in terms of automated killing machines, friendly fire or shooting a civilian or just the wrong kind of thing. He said, yeah, but see the thing is or Pete doesn't really care about that, does he.

He doesn't care about machine gunning people who have been shipwrecked. Shipwrecked why because of an unjust war that you started. These are red lines that the Trump administration has ignored for quite some time. They don't care what the Geneva Convention says, they don't care what the Pentagon rules say. They don't care what basic human decency and rules of

morality say either. So Amaedi says, we don't want to sell something that we don't think is reliable, and we don't want to sell something that could get our own people killed, or they could get innocent people killed. And so as a result of that, they are getting punished by Trump and Pete. They want to put them out of business. They want to say, anybody that uses their product, you can't have anything to do with the federal government.

And so the federal government now basically that's the way that Biden was able to push out these mandates because virtually every company now except for small mom and pop businesses, every company, if they're of any size, they're doing business with the federal government. It's one of the most lucrative businesses that you can have because they don't really care in terms of costs. So it's a rich customer that

you want to have. And if they're not going to be your customer because you are doing business with Anthropic, then it's much much bigger than this small, relatively small contract they have of two hundred million dollars. So Amai says Anthropic plans to take legal actually said always seen so far as tweets from the President and from Secretary Hegseth. He said, Anthropic remains at the negotiating table hoping to talk. Asked what he might say to Trump, Ahmedi said, we

are patriotic Americans. Everything that we have done has been for the sake of this country, for sake of supporting US national security. We believe in defeating our autocratic adversaries. We believe in defending America. The red lines we have drawn we drew because we believe that crossing those red lines is contrary to American values. Disagreeing with the government

is the most American thing in the world. And we are patriots and everything we have done here we have stood up for the values of this country.

the category's biggest name, chat GPT. But that's exactly what happened when anthropics Claud climbed to the top of Apple's rankings, edging out chat GPT. And so the response of damage control from Sam Altman is to come out and brag, oh, oh, we're going to have red lines too, Yeah, right. Open ai is amending the agreement to include language noting that we only do things that are consistent with applicable laws. Well,

be careful because that excess doesn't like that. If you say don't do illegal orders, he's going to come after you. This guy just wants to kill, to kill the rule of law first and foremost, and so he says, also, we will say that our AI models shall not be intentionally used for domestic surveillance of US persons and nationals. Noticed that he put in there intentionally. Do you remember when James Clapper was asked by Ron Wide he said,

are you spying on Americans with a search warrant? Well, Senator, not intentionally, that line guy, that's what he's That's what Sam Altman is doing. Well, well, not intentionally. We're not doing it intentionally. No, it's intentional. He got in there. So you got a huge number of people not only getting clawed, but they are uninstalling chat GPT at a very very rapid rate.

downloaded app So it's pretty clear what's happening here. People are uninstalling chat GPT and installing open AI, and I think part of that is a pushback against this unpopular war. Well a few things I guess that people can do, but they may also be worried about the Pentagon and the Machiabelian industrial complex. And is continuing his apology tour, conceding in a lengthy tweet on Monday that he shouldn't

have rushed in to the Defense Department deal. He claimed that open AI would be altering the terms of the deal after the fact. And again they're going to insert that word intentionally. What a deceptive guy. Anyway, he's out there trying to do damage control. I think that is an interesting fallout of all of this stuff. And meanwhile, let's look at the economics of war. Trump is offering, as I said earlier, he's offering to ensure and to provide the tankers as well as to provide military escorts

for them. As I go around and through the strait of her moves, so Trump said the US will immediately offer political risk insurance and guarantees. Maybe we can all get the federal government to write us an insurance policy on nuclear war. How about that that's excluded for most of these insurance policies. Maybe we could get the kind of insurance policies that Lucky Lutnick and what was the other guy's name that had Building seven?

Of course, just put it on the bill. It's only forty trillion political risk insurance and guarantees for energy tankers and other ships in the Gulf region, and that the Navy will escort tankers through the straight or her moves if needed. Yeah, that won't be a dangerous and vulnerable thing for them to do, will it. So he created this policy and announced it on truth Social It's an

amazing I guess, you know. Jefferson Madison Franklin none of these guys ever really envisioned that you'd have an autocrat single handedly making all these decisions and putting them out on some kind of a thing called social media, right publishing it there if necessary. The US Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of hor Moves as soon as possible, he said. No matter what, the US will ensure the free flow of energy to the world, all

upper case right, can even guarantee that. Yeah, just like with the budget deficit and all the restless stuff, Trump is as usual. He's writing checks that he can't cash because I guess is how you bankrupt a casino. You don't really know what the odds are with anything that you're doing. TPNH and Company said in a note earlier Tuesday that skyrocketing shipping at new all time highs and insurance rates are a key reason why traffic through the Strait of her Moves has largely ground to a halt.

The conflict is pushing up crude oil and other energy commodity prices, already filtering down to US gasoline pumps. The nationwide average price for regular gasoline is three dollars eleven cents per gallon eleven cent increase over yesterday. Per the Triple A crude retreated back slightly over eighty dollars per barrel Tuesday afternoon, after hitting eighty five for the first

time since twenty twenty four earlier in the day. Meanwhile, we have tankers are burning from the straight oh Hermus to the Mediterranean Sea and a spillover of war risks. The Times of Malta reports that the Russian flagged LNG tanker Arctic metagas metagas. It's like a gas right, but it's an LNG tanker. Wouldn't want to be in an LNG tanker when a drone hits it, would you? It might not be an Arctic traveler anymore, might be a little bit warm.

have been hit by a drone. The world is seemingly at war, with the US Iran conflict choking the critical maritime strait of her Moves. Trump announced that the US government will provide insurance for quote all maritime trade unquote through the US Development Finance Corporation, and will provide naval escorts and the straight of her Moves to ensure the waterways remain open. This will be a huge expense, folks.

When you look at the alternative's almost like this is an afterthought for him even But when you look at the amount of traffic that goes to this I said before, compare twenty percent of the world's oil going through the Strait of Hormos. Compare that to the trivial Opek embargo. By comparison, it was trivial. It had humongous effects globally, especially here in America. But this has potential to be much much bigger. So hermuz is paralyzed. Another tanker has

been hit, and we have a floating parking lot of ships. Again, these tankers are out in the open water for defense. And what does that tell you when you're going to send in the navy into this narrow area to navigate. It's going to be raising the risk significantly to the naval ships. Two days ago, the Iranian regime had eleven ships in the Gulf of Oman, bragged US Central Command.

Today they have zero. The Iranian regime has harassed and attacked and they we've taken away their navy, but they don't need to have a navy to arrass and attack these tankers. They have missiles, they have drones, and again when you look at the math US made Patriot air defense missiles have been largely successful in stopping the Iranian shot heads and other ballistic missiles, with interception rates of over ninety percent. However, you're using four million dollar missiles

to destroy twenty thousand dollars drones. That's a problem. You know, we've got all this money. We've got a wealthy country that they're now burning that up. You know, there's lighting their cigars one thousand dollar bills basically and creating massive amounts of debt, a gigantic military budget. We are giving money and equipment to all these other countries so they can have wars, and we are using we talk about asymmetric warfare. There's an economic aspect of that as well.

Use a four million dollar missile to take down a twenty thousand dollars drone, and then you're using these anti ballistic missile systems that require three missiles, three anti missile missiles for each missile that you take down. They are expensive, they're more complicated to make. We've got ourselves on the wrong side of the equation here, don't you think what's really going on with the Pentagon planners? This is an empire that is rotten and ready to collapse financially as

well as strategically. What's the strategy here? You know, what's the plan? They don't have one. So the Western military planners quote unquote, Yeah, the cheap weapons can chew up resources meant for much more complex threats. Yeah, they they really haven't planned this thing through. Since the star of the war, the US has intercepted hundreds of ballistic missiles targeting US forces are partners and regional stability. The intercepts

are success. They prevented the missiles from striking their targets, but they also come at the cost of pricey, high tech interceptors that are in very short supply. The link to the conflict is a factor in affecting how many interceptors will be needed, and it's currently unclear how long that will last. As they say, everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the face and then that

all goes out the window. But these guys before they even got punched in the face, didn't have a plan, They didn't have a way, they didn't have enough ammunition and allies to pull this thing off. Really, I mean, it's I'm looking at this and doesn't make any sense anyway. Trump has referred to this as a multi week war, although the President said Monday that we're already substantially ahead of our time projections. Maybe they're ahead of their consumption

of these missiles now. One of the things they say in terms of how this stuff matches up, I already talked about the production rates one hundred missiles per month versus six to seven interceptors. But you need two or three interceptors per missile, So they really need to keep this sequel. They need to be producing about two or

three hundred interceptors per month, which they're not doing. But Iran is estimated by Israel to have twenty five hundred ballistic missiles already have we got seventy five hundred of these interceptors in storage or maybe more, because we're going to be running that down at a much much faster rate, and so production simply cannot keep pace with the man.

Every theater from Europe, Dandosch Pacific at least has an acute need of more missile defense launchers interceptors, and the US is simply consuming them faster than it can replace them. And we are consuming everything in this country faster than it can be replaced. So again it's the three to one ratio that is really important about this. The US fired about one hundred and fifty FAD interceptors just last June to defend Israel during a twelve day war against Iran.

Those weapons are the highest end ground based missile defense system in the American inventory. That's what Trump was saying. Well, we're really good in terms of low and the mid high stuff. We just don't have the high end stuff. Well, that's the stuff that they were actually using the most. Each interceptor costs about fifteen million dollars, but only a few dozen were purchased last year. That's under the Trump administration.

They were not purchasing these missiles. So they've been planning to do this, but they didn't want to buy the missiles that they're going to need to defend themselves. Again, we're being led by a ship of fools. It's as crazy. The cost of firing hundreds of them, as well as

other types of interceptors is enormous. In April of twenty twenty four, Bloomberg reported that it probably cost Israel, as well as the American, British, French, and Jordanian air forces about one point one billion dollars to foil missile and drone attacks from Iran. And that was just for a few hours of work. This is going to be much larger.

The US and Israeli militaries will try to reduce a number of missiles and launchers that Iran had available, and will try to kill top commanders to prevent their use. They have thousands of missiles and drones. This is now an all out war for their survival, but not for

US evidently, right. So Trump is angry at Spain, vousd to cut off all trade with them, very very uncoperative over the base refused for Irun attacks, He says, again, more tariff tantrums, more ego politics, not geopolitics, declaiming that he was going to cut off all trade with Spain and denouncing Prime Minister Kier Starmer as no Winston Churchill. Trump became visibly angry during his sit down with German Chancellor Fred Mertz. He said, they're going to have to

have some explaining to do, right Lucy. Trump became visibly angry during his sit down. He also had harsh words for Starmer, showing a strain in the relationship with the UK. This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.

that went into this. They have been thinking about this and wanting to do this, but they haven't really laid the groundwork to accomplish it. They're going to have to improvise on the way. It wasn't sufficient planning. That's the key issue I think we can take away from this, and then of course there's also the issue of whether it is morally justified to start wars, which is what we're doing. So Trump is pushed back on Megan Kelly Tucker Carlson saying again, Maga is Trump. I am MAGA.

They are not MAGA. I said, Maga wants to see our country thrive and be safe. Maga loves what I'm doing, every aspect of it. Talking about Megan Kelly said she was critical of me for years and I didn't lose. I won all three times by a lot, suggesting, as he had previously, that he would have a twenty one twenty reelection if he had not been rigged. He said, Megan was opposed to me for years when I ran the first time, and nothing stopped me. So you know,

some people are against and they always come back. She came all the way back. But now I guess she maybe doesn't like the idea of this war, but I do because I have to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranians. Trump said the cross and can say whatever he wants, it has no impact on me. Well, all I can say is that, you know, I never

had any interaction with with Tucker Cralson personally. I did with Megan Kelly when she went to Info Wars, and I thought she was the essence of what you typically see with these celebrity model presenters. She hadn't a clue as to what was going on about anything, she had never even heard of, and certainly didn't even care when I explained it to her what civil asset forfeiture was,

and she set us down and interviewed us individually. When she's done the hit piece on Alex and you know, she asked me some questions about where I was and stuff, and said, well, I certainly don't like Trump. And I gave that as the very first thing that came to mind, because this is before twenty twenty, and she had never just you know, blank Slaton, never heard.

targets simultaneously. They're calling it an unprecedented weapon. The biggest question is how did ron get its hands on such technology in a country where scientists are constantly being assassinated. It's hard to ignore the possibility that China and Russia handed this deadly know how straight to Tehran.

attacked again. The timing of the attack was dictated by net Yahoo, not about readiness, and so it's really not clear whether they have those yet or whether they will acquire them. We will have to wait and see what happens with it. We're going to take a quick break, folks, We'll be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show.

would not take that back. They came after her for a number of things, and again she, like Trump, doesn't shy away from telling people bull face lies, for which video exists. Dick Durbin pressed her on why Renee Good and Alex Pretty were falsely labeled as domestic terrorists following their killing. She didn't take back the statements about them, but she said that the ICE officers face a quote

dangerous environment unquote and threats. When asked what information she got to deem them as domestic terrorists, she said her agency relied on information provided by agents on the ground, and so they came after her for a number of issues.

I'm going to get answers from her. He wants her out of there. Tom Tillis is a Republican congressman from North Carolina. I never liked Tom Tillis because of his toll road taxes that he put in. But Tom Tillis is after Christine Home. He says he's going to basically shut down the Senate, and of course, according to the rules, one senator can do that, you know, they can refuse to allow them to move forward. He's going to block

various committees and everything if he doesn't get that. And he's not the only Republican that was after her either he had Senator Kennedy from Louisiana was coming after, or the whoppers that she was telling one after the other. It was an interesting thing to see. He scold her. He said, terribly awkward. You spent two hundred and twenty million dollars on dhs ads that featured you in this vanity product project, and that's what Kennedy was saying. Well,

that's it for today. Thank you for joining us the common man. They created common Core and dumbed down our children. They created common Past to track and control us. They're Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
