	using free speech to free minds You're listening to The David Night Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, the 12th of January.
	Dear Lord, 2024.
	Well, today we're going to take a look, of course, at the political environment, because on Monday we have the first of the primaries, the Iowa caucus.
	We also have Davos, and understand that they are going to try to take everything from us through the climate agenda.
	And along those lines, we've had an interesting development in Canada.
	A nullification of carbon taxes by premier of one of the provinces.
	So we're going to take a look at that, as well as the collapsing schemes of electric vehicles, 20,000 of them being dumped by Hertz.
	Yeah, it really hurts the bottom line.
	And you've got windmill farms that are...
	Blowing away out at sea.
	So don't get too complacent about this because this is all going to be still pushing toward NAC. And then we have the border issues.
	Another way to destroy America with chaos and division.
	We will be right back.
	I want to begin with just a couple of follow-up articles from the last week and calls from the last week.
	And again, this William Penn debacle, what a shameful bunch of nonsense to try to take the guy...
	We created so many foundational things, principles for America.
	A trial by jury, habeas corpus, as I mentioned before, the free exercise of religion, founded Pennsylvania.
	And as I had pointed out, he had always had good relations with Indians, as did the early pilgrims.
	And they tried to, at these historical sites where they have the interpreters, they tried to, the historical interpreters, They try to reinterpret history to their biases and their prejudices.
	And it turns out that they decided they would get rid of William Penn's statue.
	They would make this all about Indians.
	They're called Native Americans.
	But, you know, Native Americans are people who have been here for centuries, not the people that Biden is letting in by the millions and swamping homes.
	As Elon Musk says, you're going to wind up without a home.
	That's right. That's the plan.
	We'll talk about the insanity of what's being done in New York and Massachusetts as they're demanding people house these illegal immigrants in their homes.
	We just don't have enough housing ourselves or putting them in the schools and kicking the kids out.
	It just goes on and on.
	When will it ever end?
	It is, I think, becoming very apparent even to Democrat voters what is happening with all this.
	But back to the William Penn thing.
	It turns out now that after they got a rash of comments from state officials, even Democrats in Pennsylvania, and the general public, that they pushed this thing back very quickly.
	But now we learn that Native American groups were not even consulted on this and they didn't support the removal of William Penn anyway.
	So they did not involve them, and it kind of reminds me of what has happened with all this Indian mascot stuff everywhere.
	This has been going on, you know, get rid of the redskins, get rid of the tomahawk chop and all the rest of the stuff, and of course in Florida, Florida State University, the Seminoles, you had the leftist Marxist We want to create division and chaos and pit one group against the other.
	So we've got to get rid of that.
	It's whatever, patronizing or cultural misappropriation, whatever their nonsense was.
	And the Seminole tribe said, we don't want you to do that.
	We like that. We understand that's an honor.
	So we don't want you to get rid of the Florida State Seminoles.
	And so they left it there.
	And similar things happened with the William Penn thing.
	Ben Barnes, who is the chief of the Shawnee tribe that is now in Oklahoma, said William Penn was an ally of the Shawnee.
	He said even though they were displaced to Oklahoma, he said as long as William Penn lived, he kept his promises.
	And that's exactly what happened up in Massachusetts with Plymouth Rock.
	And it went for several generations.
	They lived together in peace.
	He says, as long as he lived, he kept his promise.
	As long as he was able to speak on behalf of the colony in western Pennsylvania, the Shawnees had a home there.
	Of all the terrible human beings that inflicted tragedy upon Native peoples, I don't put William Penn in that category.
	And he's not the only one.
	A consultation with Native American tribes is required of the park services before making changes.
	To national monuments, writes a daily caller, or to historic sites concerning their history.
	Jeremy Johnson of the Delaware tribe of Indians said, We do still speak highly of William Penn.
	We're really just focusing on our culture and our history, and that, in a way, he was an important part of it.
	And so, who would think that the Biden administration would bother to really try to find the facts about anything?
	But to their credit, they have spoken up, and the history is important.
	It truly is. And so, when we look at where we're headed with all this, we're going to talk about the borders coming up.
	But before we get away from the back and forth and the virtue signaling and the sports mascots and the renaming of this and that, How much will taxpayers pay for Virginia's $2 billion arena plan?
	It just keeps going up exponentially.
	You want to know who the exploiters are?
	It's not William Penn.
	It's not Europeans and white people in general.
	The exploiters are the billionaires who are taxing you so that you will build the stadiums And for the billionaires, you pay for the stadiums for the billionaires so the multi-millionaires can play a kid's sports.
	That's what's happening here.
	And so they can get you arguing with each other over the name of the mascot.
	And you don't understand what they're doing in terms of robbing you for their multi-billion dollar stadiums.
	When I first started reporting on this, they were only, you know, the really extraordinary ones were like a half a billion.
	Look at this, half a billion dollars are going to rip taxpayers off?
	And they say that they're bringing value to the community?
	No, they're not. They're sucking this out.
	None of these small businesses who are going to be paying taxes had somebody set them up in business.
	And so, this is in Virginia, and this is Glenn Youngkin, the Davos Republican governor, working with Democrats to rip off We're good to go.
	Privatize the profits and give all the expenses to the rest of us.
	And so in this stadium, it will be for the basketball team, the Washington Wizards, and for the hockey team, the Washington Capitals.
	And of course, they've renamed the football team from Redskins to Commanders.
	I guess that fits. The Washington Commanders.
	Maybe they ought to call them the Washington Commandeers.
	We shouldn't be taking their commands because they've commandeered and usurped this authority that they don't have.
	So Glenn Youngkin announced the project in December.
	The state's legislature approval is necessary to create the quasi-public stadium authority.
	It's always a public-private partnership.
	They've been doing this to us in so many different ways.
	They've been going in with Other pipelines and condemning property for a politically connected corporation or even turning over eminent domain condemnation powers to a foreign corporation to take people off their farms that have been there for centuries, more than a century, I should say, and to subjugate us to this.
	So this is yet another one of these public-private partnerships.
	These people are going to be stakeholders, but you won't be.
	You won't be a stakeholder in the stadium.
	So how much public money will be used to fund the project remains somewhat uncertain, says Reason Magazine.
	The consensus answer, however, seems to be a lot.
	A leaked J.P. Morgan study that was published on the Washington Post last month said the net cost to taxpayers...
	Would ultimately reach an estimated $1.35 billion.
	More recently, the Alexandria Economic Development Partnership, the entity that would own and operate the entity, the arena, see?
	They create an entirely new institution just for this one enterprise.
	But of course, it's a billion-dollar enterprise.
	A lot of money to be made.
	Well, this newly created entity to take all this money and dole it out, that would own and operate the arena, published documents showing that taxpayers had put up only about $560 million, which was a decade ago, the upper level of the total project costs.
	That total does not include, however, several other costs that will be covered by the public, like the expected expansion of the nearby public transit station that comes with an estimated price tag of at least $150 million and about $380 million in property tax breaks.
	Not only do you build the stadium for them, but then you give them breaks on property tax, and you will make up the difference, and the small businesses will make up the difference.
	However you slice it, it looks like taxpayers are going to be on the hook for about a billion dollars.
	Writes a blogger who publishes his thing called Field of Schemes, and that's exactly what this is.
	You know, if they build it, you will pay.
	I guess that should be the tagline of the Field of Schemes.
	If we build it, you will pay for it.
	And we'll make the profits.
	We'll privatize the profits.
	So, when you...
	We're going to take a break a little bit earlier than usual, and we're going to come in and talk about what is going on with the windmills in general.
	Because when you look at this project, what it reminds me of is what was done in Texas with the infrastructure.
	Well, we're going to give special subsidies and benefits and other things to these billionaires who are going to put out these windmills.
	But in terms of the infrastructure to take the electricity that they generate and bring it back to the rest of the grid in Texas, we will pay the billions upon billions of dollars for that part of it.
	And that's what is happening with this.
	Not only are they going to subsidize the construction of the stadium, But then they will also subsidize the infrastructure to take people to the stadium.
	And then give them continuing breaks, tax breaks, and subsidies with tax breaks as they do with the windmill people.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about the wins and losses.
	As I said before, a very interesting case of a Canadian premier who is going to push back Tell Alexa to add the APS Radio skill and have access to the best channels anywhere.

	Music playing.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Like a circle in the spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, never ending or beginning, a never spinning ring.
	Like a snowball down a mountain for a carnival moon, like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face.
	And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space.
	Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind.
	Yeah, we're going to take a look at the windmills of your mind, and when they...
	Come apart, as you just saw there.
	There's spirals in the sky.
	What are we going to do with the wind turbine blades?
	Well, a lot of the windmill parts are recyclable.
	They have a steel tower.
	Well, you can recycle steel.
	They've got copper wire.
	You can recycle that.
	They have gears and other things.
	But the blades themselves, these massive blades, and if you've seen these things, and we saw a lot of them in Texas because they're real big about subsidizing wind power, they took out all of our power during the winter storm.
	But they're real big about that.
	And transporting these things, the single blade, it's unbelievably long.
	And it's really a sight to see.
	And so, there's actually nothing to do with these blades.
	And I've shown this before. The massive graveyards of these turbine blades.
	They are made out of fiberglass, primarily.
	They're coated with epoxy resins that make them particularly difficult to crush.
	Very, very hard fiberglass.
	So most of the retired turbine blades end up either in landfills or incinerated.
	Incinerated? I thought we were doing this to stop gassing and smoke and stuff like that.
	What kind of healthy stuff do you get from burning fiberglass covered in epoxy?
	Is that something that plants like?
	I know they like CO2. We can't have any CO2. Nitrogen is a good form too, but you can't have the CO2, but it's okay to burn these blades that are fiberglass and epoxy.
	We don't have to worry about that, right? An industry that is rapidly growing and making more blades every year.
	By the end of this decade, they said, at least another thousand gigawatts of wind farms will be built.
	Just compare that to what Doc needed.
	You know, he only needed, from Marty, you know, 1.12 gigawatts, which is funny that they would do that and not now.
	But, you know, just like the song from James Taylor.
	We got sweet dreams and flying machines and pieces on the ground.
	Kind of like the big propellers of the flying machines.
	So what to do about it?
	Well, this article has some suggestions about what might be done.
	For instance, in the Netherlands, they have a turbine blade playground.
	Well, that's cool. You know, you cut them in pieces and you put some circles in them, as you can see there, and people can crawl through these things.
	You know, maybe there could be housing for the invading illegal immigrants that are coming in from everywhere to Western countries.
	Environmentally friendly infrastructure, they said.
	By doing this, the carbon footprints of constructing this turbine blade playground was roughly 90% smaller than it would have been for comparable equipment made from wood and steel.
	I guess they're just saying that to cut it up into pieces and put holes in it doesn't take as much energy as it does to do something with wood and steel.
	But you had to use a lot of energy to make those blades, didn't you?
	But that doesn't count. That doesn't count.
	Or you could use them to have bridges.
	You could make bridges out of them.
	Foot bridges. That's what they show here in the picture.
	There you go. There's Ireland. And they've taken one of these things to make a foot bridge.
	I don't know. You know, it looks like a bridge nowhere.
	It looks to me like a monument to political folly more than anything else.
	I think you could probably make more attractive bridges than that.
	It looks like something that has been repurposed as we're cannibalizing our society, which is what we're doing.
	A turbine blade bike shelter in Denmark.
	Oh, that checks a lot of different boxes there, doesn't it?
	Isn't it nice? We can get rid of our cars, and we can park our bicycles under now defunct turbine blades.
	Or you have a turbine blade park benches in the United States.
	So you can set on their mistakes.
	There you go. Well, it turns out that maybe they will be building more of these things, and who knows, maybe they won't, as long as the government is involved in all of this.
	There is no limit to the insanity and the folly and the amount of cash that they will pour into this.
	It doesn't have to be reasonable.
	But Mark Morano of Climate Depot pointed out that several of these really big projects that Biden has done have collapsed.
	And you know, we've had a lot of these green projects going back to the Obama administration, Solyndra, electric school bus programs they poured a lot of money into.
	But this is a project that was done by Equinor, which I've not heard of this company before, but of BP as well.
	BP is one of the big partners in this, the two big partners.
	And you know, when we talk about the oil companies, And these environmentalists, the green parties, have nothing but contempt for the big oil companies, and yet the big oil companies got in on the ground floor of all of this stuff.
	Just as I was telling people, you know, Trump is picking Rex Tillerson.
	Do you realize what a rabid climate alarmist he is?
	Do you realize how he positioned Exxon in order to make money from this?
	And now the same thing is true of BP. The two companies said that they'd reached an agreement with New York State Energy Research Development Authority to terminate the offshore wind renewable energy certificate for their project named Empire Wind.
	Yeah. Building castles in the sky.
	EquinorBP explained that commercial conditions, namely inflation, interest rates, and supply chain disruptions, prevented its contract for the project from remaining viable.
	Interesting, all three of those things come from the government.
	Inflation, interest rates, and supply chain disruptions.
	Going back to Trump's lockdown?
	Going back to Biden's sanctions?
	The government can't put anything together.
	They keep getting in their way.
	Even with the agenda where they want to take away everything from us.
	Commercial viability is fundamental for an ambitious project of this size, they said.
	They don't want to go bankrupt for virtue signaling of ESG. They're going to have to come up with something different.
	Some kind of structure where they can make money for doing nothing.
	Like the NACs, natural asset companies.
	The Empire Wind 2 decision provides the opportunity to reset and develop a stronger, more robust project going forward.
	We've got to wait for the NACs.
	BP is supportive of the New York State leadership and their commitment to offshore wind, they said, which we believe is a crucial part of New York State and America's clean energy future.
	Said the BP president of Offshore Wind Americas.
	But they're not the only ones to cancel.
	The cancellation of Empire Wind 2 comes weeks after Biden administration formally approved it and its counterpart, Empire Wind 1, in November.
	They green-lighted this thing in November and then shut it down less than two months later.
	Had they not run the numbers on all this stuff?
	How in the world did that happen?
	The Department of the Interior and the Department of Energy, neither of whom have any constitutional authority to exist, have both endorsed the project, while the White House has referred to it as a success story of Bidenomics, just like Obama referred to Solyndra.
	It also comes shortly after energy developer Orsted canceled its twin projects of Ocean Wind 1 and Ocean Wind 2, which were also approved and hailed by the Biden administration.
	Orsted also blamed negative economic conditions.
	Together, these projects were said to be able to power 700,000 homes per year, as long as the wind is blowing, of course.
	If it isn't, you're going to have to go back to some functional fuels to make sure that you've got power to those.
	Or maybe you just tell them to suck it up.
	You know, hey, it's going to be cold, or it's going to be hot, or it's going to be dark.
	And then you have this kind of nonsense.
	These East Coast cities are likely sinking, says a study.
	I saw this and I thought, what kind of...
	This is from Ynet News.
	A highly populated area such as New York City, Baltimore, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Long Island are experiencing rapid subsidence, heightening risk to critical infrastructure like roads and flight paths and building foundations and railway lines and pipelines.
	They said that these coastal cities, coastal cities, are sinking and then they blame that on global warming.
	It's an opportunity for climate alarmism.
	Well, no, that would be if they stayed the same and then the oceans rose, as Al Gore was telling us was going to happen.
	This is, you know, 5 millimeters per year, they're saying.
	Well, 25 millimeters is an inch, so you would have one-fifth of an inch sinking.
	I really wonder if they can measure this.
	Maybe they can. I don't know.
	Sometimes they claim to measure things that they can't measure.
	And sometimes they claim that things are sinking and will disappear.
	We've heard that many times about Venice, for example, right?
	All my life I've heard that Venice is sinking.
	Maybe it is. Maybe it is sinking at a faster rate than these places are.
	And then we heard that it was flooding, and that was not about Venice itself sinking, but it was about the oceans rising.
	And everybody gave attention to that.
	But we had seen in the past that Venice had gone through cycles of varying depth of water.
	And so it wasn't long after that, just a few months after that, that they had dry canals in Venice.
	How does that happen? When they're on the sea level.
	And then again, this is February of last year, not even a year ago.
	Venice canals start to run dry as low tide and a lack of rain hit.
	I thought we had global warming that was going to flood everything, including, especially, including Venice.
	But no, that didn't happen.
	This is illustrative of what these people are pushing, the lies that they are pushing.
	Another good example of this is what Steve Malloy has.
	He says, newspaper record, that's the New York Times, features a climate graft of fraud.
	Here's what that looks like.
	New spike in global temperatures are telling us.
	Even as these other people are saying, well, the land is sinking, and that's because of global warming.
	Anything is global warming.
	Steve Malloy says this graph is totally fake.
	There are no global temperatures can even be estimated before 1979.
	And he said when the satellite era started.
	And even satellites do not actually measure temperature.
	They measure atmospheric brightness.
	Which gets fed into the computer models to estimate temperatures.
	And so they've got a lot of data there that is showing this trend because they pick the starting points and they're just making up information.
	As he points out in this thread on Twitter, Steve Malloy, he says, if you look at this, here's a map of weather stations.
	In the 1850s.
	I've never seen this map before.
	I'm glad Steve Malloy put that up.
	I've talked about this. I said, do you realize these people want to talk about temperature?
	And there weren't any weather stations to speak of until about the middle of the 20th century.
	And here's what they had in the 1850s.
	Just a few scattered places in the U.S. and Europe, most of them in northeastern U.S. Virtually nothing anywhere else.
	Not a single, well, maybe one right up there at the Saharan Africa, right at the top, and one down at the bottom in South Africa.
	Other than that, nothing. And all of South America, two weather stations.
	One weather station in all of Central America.
	One weather station in the center of Australia and a cluster of them down at the coast.
	There wasn't anything there.
	And even if you look at today, this is what it looks like.
	So the red stuff, the U.S. is completely covered.
	But that's unusual, especially when you look at everywhere else.
	Again, looking at Africa, looking at South America, and even looking at a lot of Canada.
	There's not much in terms of weather stations.
	So do they have anything to compare this with?
	Of course they don't. He says, NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is known to have faked data to show warming consistent with emissions.
	And you know, when you look at this, even having the weather stations, as we pointed out many times, are these weather stations in the same place that they were before?
	Because that affects things a great deal.
	If you think that these people know what they're talking about with temperature, just get a weather app.
	And just like we do, Karen has one weather app.
	I've got a different weather app.
	And it's like, well, it's going to be this temperature.
	And mine says this. And usually they're two or three degrees different.
	They were forecasting a winter storm coming up this next week.
	And I looked at it yesterday and they were saying on Tuesday, we're supposed to have minus two degrees.
	That got my attention as a low.
	I looked at it again this morning, see if they changed.
	And yeah, it's changed.
	Now it's at zero degrees.
	So generally in the ballpark, but understand these people are saying if the temperatures change by one and a half degrees, We're all going to die.
	You can't get that kind of accuracy from one weather app to the other.
	Why? Because they've got their weather stations in different places, measuring the temperature in different places, and it fluctuates that much.
	And of course, if you want to try to compare it to something in the 1850s, they had analog thermometers, even where they had them.
	That were not nearly as a fine point as the ones they've got now.
	The founder of the Weather Channel said, what a joke.
	He said, the people reading this stuff off of mercury thermometers, analog thermometers, that were not calibrated to a lot of detail.
	And he said, then you've got the parallax issues involved as well.
	And now you come up with a digital thermometer, and everybody wants to believe that.
	As I've said, when I began engineering, they had just made the transition from slide rules to calculators.
	And the teachers would say, don't give me an answer with six or seven decimal points.
	That's a bunch of nonsense.
	So just do three significant figures.
	And that's the way they used to always work when they would do slide rules and they would do extrapolations off of tables and things like that.
	You've got to know what the limitations are.
	To make this stuff real.
	And these people really don't have any idea.
	But here's where the rubber meets the road.
	Nullification. As I said before, and I was eager to get to this clip, this is a, after declaring that he would stop collecting the carbon tax on natural gas on January the 1st, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said, quote, Our government has decided that Sask Power will also stop collecting the carbon tax on electric heat.
	Effective January the 1st.
	So he's doubled down on a couple of different ones.
	Here he is speaking. Our government was able to make the decision to stop collecting the carbon tax on natural gas because you, Saskatchewan people, own the natural gas utility, Sask Energy.
	Well, we also own the electrical utility and that's why our government has decided that Sask Power will also stop collecting the carbon tax on electric heat effective January the 1st.
	Isn't that great? We don't have to do everything The federal government wants to do, because the federal government is nothing but an administrative arm of the UN and the Davos people now.
	That's true of Canada. It's true of America as well.
	And more importantly, this guy has got the backbone to stand up to them, Scott Moe, and rightfully so.
	What are they going to do about it? What is Justin Trudeau going to do about that?
	How's it going to collect that carbon tax?
	See, that's really fundamental.
	The carbon tax, of course, is going to be one of the ways that they fund this natural asset, these natural asset companies.
	And that's what they want to do to take over everything and to lock us up in the cities.
	That's where it comes out. So cut it off at the source.
	Cut it off at the carbon tax.
	If you're going to have global governance, you've got to have a global tax scheme.
	And that's what the carbon tax is.
	It's very important to shut that thing down.
	And the people in Canada don't even have the strength of the Constitution that we do.
	We've got a Tenth Amendment.
	They don't have anything like that.
	It's time for people to recover the importance of the Tenth Amendment.
	When you look at abortion, for example, that's a Tenth Amendment issue.
	The decision there by Scalia pointed out that the federal government doesn't have the authority to make that decision, so kick it back to the states.
	That's what he was saying. And he pointed out that applies to a lot of other things as well.
	And so when you look at it, one of the reasons that I have mentioned so much, marijuana prohibition, is not to push marijuana.
	But to get people to understand that this is something that the left would typically fight us on this because the left wants to order everybody around about everything.
	But it's the left that said, you don't have the authority to stop us with marijuana.
	We're going to nullify that.
	And they've now done that in more than half of the states.
	And even Jeff Sessions, who really hated it and wanted to prohibit it, never would do anything.
	Because if he were to challenge it, everybody would have said, your drug prohibition is the emperor without clothes.
	It truly is. They had to have a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol, the 18th Amendment.
	And they had another one to make it legal again.
	That's a lot of trouble to go through if you don't have to.
	Everybody in America...
	Understood that if you're going to prohibit anything, you have to have a constitutional amendment.
	Where's the constitutional amendment for the carbon taxes?
	And things like that.
	We can prohibit this stuff.
	We can stop it at the state level.
	And as desperate and as hopeless as the federal politics are, Don't give up, because we can make a change at the state level.
	We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about what's going on with the electric vehicles.
	Really interesting news.
	We'll be right back. Music In
	a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

	Well, EVs are hot.
	They really are. They're everywhere, and they're on fire, too.
	Literally hot. We've got another big bus fire story here, as well as some other ones.
	But that's not the main story.
	The main story is what is happening with Hertz.
	They jumped into EVs in a big way just a couple of years ago.
	In 2021, Hertz did a massive push.
	They said they put in an order for 100,000 Tesla Model 3s.
	And of course, they've bought other brands, but I mean, they jumped into it in a big way.
	And now it looks like the EVs are hurting Hertz bottom line in a big way.
	By the way, thank you on Rockfin.
	Thank you, Steven Patterson.
	Thank you, Steven. That is very generous and a third day in a row that you have done that.
	Thank you so much. He says, here's another hundred.
	Thanks for being sincere.
	Well, thank you, Steven. Really do appreciate your support.
	So they bought 100,000 just Tesla Model 3s and, again, other brands as well that they have.
	And they put in that order for that.
	They took delivery of 50,000.
	And they're going to dump now 20,000 of those, and they're going to replace them with internal combustion engine cars.
	Why? Well, the CEO of Hertz said EVs are seeing a lot more damage than combustion engine cars, and the cost to repair them is much higher.
	So they began dumping these 20,000 EVs on the used car market last month and will be selling them throughout 2024.
	The sales are expected to record a non-cash charge in the fourth quarter of $245 million related to incremental net depreciation expense.
	And this has really piled up.
	Because the used car market has gone soft, along with many other aspects of the economy, but it was really stoking for a while there, and now it has gone down significantly, and to make matters worse...
	Tesla drastically lowered prices on EVs in order to compete with new companies that are coming online with their electric vehicles.
	And so by marking down the price of a brand new one significantly, and then a soft market, they are taking a beating.
	It really does hurt.
	It hurts.
	The company expects to reinvest a portion of the proceeds into the purchase of internal combustion engine vehicles to meet customer demand.
	As of last October, EVs were about 11% of their total fleet, with Tesla accounting for 80% of that.
	And again, selling them into a soft market.
	But the repairs.
	What was it about the repairs?
	They said it's not the maintenance cost that is costing them so much money with Hertz.
	They said the maintenance cost of the electric vehicles is lower.
	But they said the collision repair.
	And damage repair is astronomical.
	Of course, we've talked about this with Eric Peters many times.
	If there is a collision, in most cases, the insurance companies are going to demand that all the battery pack be replaced because they're concerned that the impact might have damaged one or more battery components.
	And if those things were to catch fire because of the damage, It'll be a runaway thing and total the entire car.
	Except the other side of it is that if you have to buy replacement batteries, that can be about the cost of the car itself right there.
	If the car is depreciated a couple of years, it could very well be the case.
	Collision and damage repairs on an EV can often run about twice that associated with comparable combustion engine vehicle.
	The difference is significant enough that it weighed significantly on our third quarter earnings.
	He says there's quite a bit of the cost element that relates to the Teslas as opposed to others.
	He said General Motors EVs benefit from a larger parts and repair network nationally and with lower parts and lower costs for repairs.
	One of the key things about Elon Musk is that he didn't want to have a network of dealers.
	And so now this is one thing that is helping some of his competitors.
	So the...
	The decline in the price of EVs, especially Tesla's steep price cuts recently, over the course of 2023 driven primarily by Tesla.
	As compared with last year, such a salvage price for these things has created larger losses and a much greater burden, they point out.
	Well, it's not just the electric cars there, but it's also the buses.
	And I've talked about how these public buses, because the governments who are pushing and demanding electric vehicles everywhere, they were real big about jumping into buses.
	And so in France, I remember showing pictures of these things just spontaneously combusting.
	And they got rid of their electric vehicles in Germany.
	They had multiple electric vehicle fires at different depots.
	One of them, they had one in Stuttgart, I think it was one in Stuttgart, where it burned down all the buses and the bus station.
	Because it caught fire, one of them caught fire, spread to all the different buses.
	And so Germany has pulled back from that.
	Even in Canada, in one jurisdiction at least, they decided that these buses were not performing well for them.
	Between the fires and between the cold weather performance, so they converted them to diesel.
	And of course, as I mentioned before, you had Lala Harris and Biden, and I've shown the picture of it.
	I even... Put the Who's magic bus behind it as she's talking and giggling about how much she loves yellow buses.
	And now they're even better.
	They're all electric. And then the company shut down just like these wind companies were shutting down because it made absolutely no sense.
	Well, now in London, they have an electric double-decker bus bursting into flames.
	Suddenly. Wasn't even vaccinated.
	Um... It was just injected with subsidies to the extent, I guess, that it burst into flames.
	But during rush hour in London, and this is the way it was described, clouds of smoke billowed.
	Wait a minute! In London, they had clouds of billowing smoke?
	Sadiq Khan has taxed these people to death.
	He's put cameras everywhere you move that vehicle.
	You're going to get hit with a 15-pound fine or something like that.
	This thing is billowing smoke and going on for a long time.
	Zero emissions, my eye.
	And it's not just that it's not carbon dioxide.
	Oh, this is battery smoke.
	But I'm sure that burning batteries smoke is not nearly as harmful as CO2, don't you think?
	All smoke is not created equal.
	And I'm sure they're not worried about burning EVs.
	They're just worried about CO2, your meat, your dairy, your breath, all the rest of the stuff.
	I don't know what plants do with burning battery smoke.
	Three fire engines and 15 firefighters raced to the scene with dramatic photographs showing the blaze destroying the rear of the bus, blew out the back windows.
	One resident said, we heard a huge bang and we were terrified.
	It was an explosion.
	And, you know, especially when you're in London, people are wondering, is it a terrorist attack?
	I remember when we were in London, we came out of a performance.
	We were there on our honeymoon, and there was a big explosion.
	There had been a lot of talk about IRA terrorism and things like that.
	And everybody was like, it's a bomb, it's a bomb.
	And it wasn't a bomb.
	It was something like a transformer that blew, but really scared everybody.
	They were on edge. There's about a thousand of these electric buses now.
	Across London, Daily Skeptic regular contributor said, I took that bus, the number 200, every day as a kid in the 1960s through Wimbledon.
	And I'll tell you, it never burst into flames in the 1960s.
	And then a separate story.
	The Daily Mail reports the grief-stricken mother of a model who was killed in an e-bike battery fire in the London flat has called for a blanket ban on e-bikes.
	And this is a real big issue.
	I think there was more than 150 of these fires in New York City.
	People will take these electric bikes, and they'll park them in the lobby of an apartment building or something like that, and they'll catch fire as they're being charged or something, and burn it down.
	They've had about 150 people who have been killed.
	I'm not sure if it's 150 people or 150 fires.
	Quite a few of them, though.
	So anyway, she was 21 years old, died when the blaze caused by a converted e-bike battery ripped through the flat on New Year's Day 2023.
	That's about a year ago.
	In Alabama, firefighters had to pour 36,000 gallons of water on a single burning car.
	That's why I say when you look at these buses, they're much bigger.
	We've gone from the e-bikes that can burn down an apartment building and kill people and have done so frequently in the big cities.
	You scale it up from that, and of course, going back a few years ago, we had the Samsung phones when they first came out.
	They were having a lot of battery fires for whatever reason.
	Very dangerous. They were getting worried about people taking them on planes even.
	And then you scale it up to a laptop.
	Then you scale it up to an e-bike.
	Then you scale it up to a car.
	Then you scale it up to a bus.
	Then you scale it up as they're trying to do with the semi-trucks.
	And one of these EV semi-truck manufacturers has already had more than three fires at their factory.
	And so this is just a car, but it required 36,000 gallons of water.
	Well, what does it take to normally put out a fire?
	A normal fire in an internal combustion car only takes about 500 gallons.
	This took 36,000, so 72 times.
	The amount of water.
	How environmentally friendly is that?
	And then, of course, as they point out, these EVs, once you get the fire put out, you don't know if it's going to reignite.
	And that's happened many times as they take them to the junkyard or they store them.
	They reignite several days later.
	They might do it two or three times.
	They're like a joke birthday candle.
	If you blow out, it reignites.
	Got to drown them in water and leave them in water, just like you do those joke birthday candles.
	And then we talked before about the smoke, right?
	I'm sure that the smoke is not nearly as harmful as CO2. Oh, yes, it is.
	As I point out, the smoke from these burning electric cars produces hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen chloride gases.
	Both of them are toxic to breathe.
	And so the firefighters have to wear breathing apparatus when they're putting out this fire that takes 72 times the amount of water that a normal car fire would.
	Actually, I prefer harmless CO2 gas, don't you?
	That is what the insanity of this stuff is just beyond belief.
	And that's why when I look at this, it's like, Could they ever get away with something like the natural asset companies?
	Well, of course they could. Look at what they've got away with the environmental stuff, with the climate MacGuffin.
	Look at what they got away with all of 2020, with the pandemic MacGuffin.
	Of course they can get away with this.
	And then, I wasn't here when this happened, but during the holidays, time between Christmas and New Year's, There was a major lithium-ion battery fire course on a cargo ship off of Alaska.
	They finally got it put out on January the 1st.
	And this was not carrying cars.
	You know, we've had these situations in the past First one of these that we saw, it was a ship that was carrying cars, a lot of very expensive luxury supercars, hypercars, millions of dollars on these cars, along with a lot of other new cars coming from Europe, and then electric cars.
	And their electric cars caught fire, and it spread to other electric cars.
	And they could never get it put out.
	And so it was many millions, tens of millions of dollars of damage just in the cars, but it burned the entire ship down.
	I believe that they had a major one of these after that as well.
	I think there's been two of those, but at least one of them.
	This one was just batteries.
	Cargo ship carrying lithium-ion batteries from Vietnam to San Diego, California, alerted the U.S. Coast Guard of a fire in the hold.
	To prevent an explosion, and this is the key thing, why I wanted to cover this.
	To prevent the explosion, they pumped CO2 into the hole and sealed it.
	CO2 saved them from the battery fires.
	Isn't that great? We gotta have lithium-ion batteries and electric cars to save us from the CO2. But the CO2 saved the ship.
	They used it to put out the fire.
	Boy, things have come full circle, haven't they?
	Recycled. Reused.
	So then they were not sure if it's going to start up again.
	So they had to, after they finally got it put off by using CO2, CO2 to the rescue, they parked it a couple of miles offshore to ensure that the fire and, what?
	Toxic gases.
	Not the CO2, but the battery lithium smoke was not going to affect the nearby community.
	Yep, ship of cars, ship of fools, EV stuff never ends.
	But with electric car credits, Biden is picking the Green New Deal over seniors.
	And this is coming from an op-ed piece on Liberal Newsweek.
	And this guy, Steve Cortez, is someone who is an advocate for Social Security and welfare programs and things like that.
	And he's hopping mad that they restructured things.
	They said, well, you know, we're having to cut back benefits on seniors because we just can't afford it.
	And so he said they were able to renegotiate things with the pharmaceutical companies who had such ridiculous margins of profit.
	They were able to get that lowered, and they saved about $280 billion by forcing the pharmaceutical companies to take lower Medicare reimbursements.
	And of course, why not?
	You know, because they've been under Trump and Biden.
	They've been heavily subsidizing this stuff, all the CMS stuff.
	If you tested positive with COVID, they'd give the hospitals a bonus, but they would give them a 20% bonus on everything they did.
	So they were ripe to pull some money back to try to make things look better for Biden.
	But as I said, a lot of seniors are struggling to handle the inflationary surge in costs.
	For the basic staples of life.
	But instead of addressing the cost of a living crisis, it's been moving, the Biden administration has been moving savings from Medicare in order to fund the radical Green New Deal priorities.
	So as they saved $280 billion, instead of using that to help the people with Medicare and other things like that pass those savings on, they pass those savings on to people to incentivize them buying more EVs.
	Almost all the savings were used to subsidize Biden's climate alarmism, which was dishonestly buried within the health portions of the IRA, the Inflation Reduction Act.
	He says subsidizing Teslas for wealthy suburbanites in California does not improve the health of retirees in Wisconsin.
	He said, Medicare will only keep about 15% of the savings that they squeezed out of the pharmaceutical companies for some relatively inexpensive new benefits.
	But the remaining 85% of savings by reducing the cost of drugs will go to the $7,500 subsidies for expensive electric cars.
	You see, if this election were about issues...
	If it was about bread and butter issues like this, if it was about issues like the border, Biden and even Democrats would not have a chance.
	But they keep making it about personality.
	And then it becomes a dead heat, doesn't it?
	Because people despise both of these guys.
	Honda has unveiled a futuristic EV design to hit U.S. market in 2026.
	Show the picture of this thing.
	And, of course, are they trying to help us to save the planet or to save money?
	No. They keep going further and further upscale into the luxury market.
	And a lot of people point out, this looks like a Lamborghini.
	And it does. They unveiled this at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which has now come back this week after being gone for a couple of weeks.
	Now, Honda says that design represents two outstretched hands.
	Does that look like two outstretched hands to you?
	It looks like they want to get those hands into your pocket and get a lot of cash.
	I think it's very much a Lamborghini design.
	It shows the possibilities of mobility.
	They're working with General Motors to create a driverless taxi service.
	That's why they're talking about mobility.
	They're not interested in cars.
	They have relabeled themselves as the American companies like Ford.
	No longer a car company. It's a mobility company.
	The company plans announced in October dozens of these driverless taxis are expected to be launched in Tokyo in early 2026.
	Well, I hope they work better than the GM cruise things that they put in Austin and in California.
	You know, running over somebody and dragging her.
	That was kind of the final straw.
	Blocking intersections, blocking emergency vehicles.
	Yeah. And then it was so bad that for Halloween in Austin, they said, please park these things.
	We don't want them running over children because it had already been shown that they had difficulty identifying children.
	So this article, is Honda's new EV a copy of the 1980s Lamborghini Countach?
	Certainly does look like it when you put the two of them side by side.
	New advances, they said, from Honda.
	New advances in design.
	So we're going to have, like, Lamborghini-style design.
	Automated driving, which you probably don't want.
	Definitely don't want.
	Steve Wozniak said about his Tesla, he said, I love my Tesla, but he said that.
	Automated driving is trying to kill you, and other people as well.
	Connected technology, so it can spy on you all the time.
	And then battery efficiency, which we've been talking about.
	Yeah, the EVs are hot, aren't they?
	Honda has previously laid out plans for EVs and fuel cell vehicles, which will comprise 40% of new vehicle sales by 2030, 80% by 2035, and 100% by 2040.
	It is a plan for corporate suicide, and they will either pull back from that or they will become a relic of the past.
	Yeah, they want us to use electricity for everything.
	And that's the headline from WND. So just like we talk about the financial controls, use cash.
	Use other stuff.
	Make sure that you have alternatives because there's going to be more and more of these green debacles.
	As a matter of fact, the Biden electric school bus program collapsing, as we see with this, in Jackson, Wyoming, another town that decided that they would go with electric buses.
	Do they really have that many people driving buses in Jackson, Wyoming?
	I don't know. But anyway, it's close to Jackson Hole, probably.
	So a lot of wealthy people thought it'd be great virtue signaling to have electric buses there.
	But they're now going to go back to diesel fleet, just like they did in Canada.
	They said they got eight of these buses.
	And of course, these things cost millions of dollars each, all of which have broken down and will no longer run.
	So instead of fixing them, they're going to make them diesel.
	In warm weather, the buses would run all day, but in cold weather, they suffered a degradation of performance, quote-unquote, and they needed a charge in the middle of the day, at which point a diesel bus had to replace them.
	And so as you look at all of their grand designs, and we've pointed out that to the purpose, the overall purpose, Electrifying everything is to a control us and be to shut us down Because if you put everything on they can't grow the capacity quickly enough If you want all transportation electrified if you want all industrial and domestic heat to be electrified And air conditioning and everything else If everything is going to be electrified They're
	going to have to expand the grid by 2050 to be at least 60% bigger than its present size And it's going to cost anywhere from $20 trillion to $35 trillion.
	You're going to have to get those natural asset companies out there.
	They're going to have to ramp up those carbon taxes for everybody.
	It is a suicide of the West to do this.
	And of course, what are they going to do with that $20 to $35 trillion?
	They're going to transfer it to crony capitalists like Elon Musk.
	That's how he became the world's richest man, by doing this type of stuff.
	But they want to expand that.
	And there's a lot of people who see that and how valuable that's going to be for them personally.
	This is like taking those subsidies for the stadiums and putting it on massive steroids.
	It's no wonder that a recent survey of what concerns preppers isn't so much a world war.
	It certainly is not climate change.
	But it's the failure of the power grid.
	Yeah, that's what is coming.
	So we'll be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues...
	APS Radio has you covered.
	Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APS radio.com
	Music playing...
	Making sense. Common again.
	You're listening to the David night show Well on rock fan handy says I wonder how those EVs will do this week the Arctic blast Yeah, it's...
	Of course, Eric Peters talked about that.
	There was another person who had exactly the same experience at about the same time.
	Could not even try to take it for a short trip to see relatives.
	And as he tried to get it on a supercharger, it says waiting, and before it could charge, it had to warm the battery up, but it could never get the battery warmed up enough to begin the charging process.
	On Rockfin, Brian and Deb McCartney, good to see you all.
	Those EVs don't work up here in the tundra.
	That's right. So let's talk about politics here.
	And as I said this last week, everybody is...
	Realigning to get in line and to follow and bow down to Trump, apparently.
	I talked about how many people who had stayed on the sidelines or even endorsed other people now switching over to Trump.
	Even people that Trump and Congress had essentially thrown away, said, no, don't support this guy for Speaker of the House.
	They're now getting on board.
	And now Fox News and what happened on Wednesday night.
	It was kind of interesting to see what happened.
	He always does counter-programming.
	That's one thing that Donald Trump is really good at.
	He's awful at governing.
	He has absolutely no principles or loyalty to anybody or any character.
	However, he is a master at programming.
	And every time they would have their debates, he would make sure that he had a high-profile event that was counter-programming.
	And so as the final debate before the Iowa caucus, the RNC kept raising the threshold for people to qualify for the debates, I think you had to have more than 10% support to be in this one.
	So the only people who qualified for that were Trump and DeSantis and Nikki Haley.
	Trump, of course, does his own thing in counter-programming.
	So you're wound up on CNN, which has a much smaller audience to start with.
	CNN and MSNBC combined are a smaller audience than Fox.
	And so, Trump counter-programs on a bigger network, and you're left with Nikki Haley and DeSantis on CNN, the smaller network, yelling and screaming at each other.
	And that never helps anybody in a debate.
	You know, you make it about individual persons instead of about the policies.
	And whenever you have, and this is usually at the beginning of the cycle in the past where you would have debates, And you have a whole bunch of people on stage.
	And if two people started fighting, it would be to the benefit of some third person who would transcend that.
	It would always hurt them.
	Especially hurt them, the fact that it was just two of them fighting at this point.
	When Trump is then on Fox News, and he has a very cordial, if not subservient, town hall on Fox News.
	They didn't ask him any tough questions, even when they asked him a question that was challenging something that he did.
	They did it in a very deferential, subservient way.
	But on the other channel, you've got DeSantis and you've got Nikki Haley and one picture that I saw had the two of them.
	They're staying next to each other and they got their arms extended and they're both pointing at each other.
	When you first glance at it, it looks like they're holding hands because you lose the depth perception.
	But they both have their arms extended and their fingers pointing at the other person.
	They just screamed and argued at each other the entire time.
	So, again, you know, Ramaswamy did not qualify, and Chris Christie did not qualify.
	He dropped out with all this stuff.
	But the headline from a mediaite left-wing Democrat publication said, Fox News finally surrenders to Trump with a subservient town hall.
	And that really is what is happening.
	They are looking at this as that it was more like the anointment of a future leader.
	And even more shocking, a surrender by Fox News to their once and now future king.
	A noteworthy moment for the industry because Fox News is so big, drawing more than CNN and MSNBC combined, as I said.
	Brett Baer and McCollum politely challenged their guests on several issues.
	Listen to these important issues.
	Political violence, of course, they have to talk about January the 6th.
	But then alleged emoluments and infractions are receiving millions of dollars from foreign governments.
	There's nothing there.
	Nobody cares about that.
	He has people staying at Mar-a-Lago.
	Who cares? Is that really the existential issue that needs to be asked to him?
	These challenges were drowned, however, in a sea of subservience.
	In other words, they didn't challenge him on any of the 2020 stuff.
	They didn't challenge him on the lockdowns or on the Fauci masks, on the jabs, on any of this stuff.
	They didn't talk to him about gun control by executive order.
	They didn't talk to him about his border failure because he did fail at the border.
	He failed to build a wall. He failed to do anything about DACA. DACA was an executive order from the previous administration.
	He could have stopped it on day one.
	They didn't talk to him about going along with the Paris Climate Accord and not stopping that.
	He went along with that as well, just as Mitch McConnell did.
	John Kerry and Barack Obama said, well, we self-ratified the Paris Climate Treaty.
	Well, there's no such thing as them ratifying it.
	There's a process.
	And Mitch McConnell was in charge of the Senate.
	He could have called a vote at any point in time, and it would have been shut down.
	You had Trump said, we're going to get out of it, but we'll do it the day after the election.
	He said that as soon as he got in.
	You know, six months, he was dithering on the issue of whether he should get out of the Paris Climate Accord or not, because he had appointed a climate alarmist as Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and his daughter was pushing him to stay in it.
	And so instead, what he says, well, we'll get out of it, but I'll wait for four years, and I'll do it the day after the election.
	And then within a month or so, Biden puts it back in.
	You know, it needed to be shut down.
	But they don't talk to him about any of this pandemic nonsense, any of the climate change nonsense.
	This is why these debates are so worthless.
	None of these types of questions really were asked, of course, by CNN either.
	And they're not going to ask anything about the so-called pandemic because they're pharmaceutical sponsors.
	They ask the same questions all the time, and then they will bring in some personal questions.
	You know, like the January the 6th violence.
	Or there's charges, allegations that you made money off of foreign people staying in your hotels.
	Who cares? These are not issues.
	The Journal of Election says...
	Mediaite is still 10 months away, and a lot can change in terms of political fortunes, but Fox is no doubt thinking about its future.
	They have to survive the 2024 election, and so they have to treat Trump with deference because the audience demands it, you see.
	That's one thing that Glenn Greenwald got right.
	He said what journalism has become is people reading The Room, Seeing which demographic they want to serve and then serving that demographic all the information that they want to believe.
	You tell people what they want to believe.
	You don't challenge them. You don't tell them an uncomfortable truth.
	Like, oh, wait a minute. You're saying that Trump is bad?
	Well, I know that Biden is bad, so what do we do?
	Oh, we're lost. They want to believe in a savior, so, you know, tell them what they want to believe.
	That's how you stay in business.
	How you prosper like Fox.
	And then, of course, you sell them poison because you're getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars by the pharmaceutical companies to do that.
	We may look at Wednesday night's town hall as the night that cable network finally surrendered to Trump.
	It's happening everywhere.
	So, again, while he's elevated by Friendly Fox, you've got DeSantis and Haley going on a Democrat channel, not even a Republican channel, And trying to tear each other apart.
	And it wasn't a debate there over issues either, but it was just a personal spat.
	How does that help either one of them?
	It's all become about personalities.
	And so everybody is talking about how Trump trounced the CNN Republican presidential debate.
	Well, of course he would.
	Normally Fox has a bigger audience than the two of them combined.
	And who wants to see a couple of pathetic politicians yelling and screaming at each other?
	Because that's what it's turned into.
	The town hall garnered 4.3 million viewers.
	That's the one that Trump was on with Fox.
	And the CNN debate averaged 2.5 million viewers in the same time frame.
	I don't even see people picking out any quotes from the so-called debate.
	It wasn't a debate at all.
	Because that's how uninterested everybody was in it.
	The debates have become a sham.
	And so, it's very telling that Trump and Biden don't want to talk about, don't want to have a debate because they don't want to talk about their record.
	But even if you were to have a debate, These controlled networks, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox, are not going to ask any real questions.
	It's a very frustrating political process.
	DeSantis says, Trump had the BLM riots on his watch and never did a thing.
	Now, this is not during the debate, but this is during an interview that he had with CNN. Notice how Fox is not having him on.
	They don't want to upset their voters, their watchers.
	The BLM riots were on his watch.
	He never did anything to stop any of the rioting.
	He didn't give any federal support.
	He said, we held him accountable for that.
	We held him accountable for not building the wall, for not doing deportations and other broken promises.
	But it's easier to do that when somebody is willing to go on the stage.
	And I think the reason that he doesn't go on the stage is because he knows that there are vulnerabilities in his record.
	Later, he said he did have the right to invoke the Insurrection Act.
	You had places like Minneapolis that were burning down.
	And by the way, he said they have not recovered there.
	He could have gone in.
	He could have brought in National Guard.
	He could have federalized the Guard.
	He could have kept order. But he didn't.
	He didn't. So, meanwhile, Trump uses the opportunity to...
	Criticize the opponents in a very friendly debate.
	Every time he referred to DeSantis, he called him DeSanctimonious.
	Again, it is just...
	But listen to the...
	Besides the mocking terms, what Trump did was he projected all of his failures onto DeSantis.
	He didn't blame DeSantis for the border, and he didn't blame DeSantis for the riots and things like that, but he blames DeSantis for the lockdown that Trump funded everybody to do and that DeSantis moved away from quickly and then said that he was too big a fan of Anthony Fauci.
	DeSantis didn't give Fauci a medal.
	Trump did. DeSantis didn't put Fauci on a pedestal.
	Trump did. So now Trump is starting to criticize lockdowns and Fauci, but not involving himself as other people.
	Which, by the way, you see Fauci doing the same thing.
	I didn't order anybody to do anything.
	And everybody laughs in derision.
	Everybody and the conservatives laugh in derision when Fauci says he didn't force anybody to do anything.
	But then they nod in agreement when Trump says he didn't do it.
	And then he said Republican candidate Chris Christie was right about Nikki Haley.
	She didn't have a chance of making it into the White House.
	And so it's all about the personalities.
	It's never going to be about any issues.
	And even the issues that are there are not going to be substantive issues.
	But there are some substantive issues to talk about.
	And some people are talking about what Trump had to say.
	As a matter of fact, he got a question in the town hall about abortion.
	And he champions himself as the reason that we had Roe v.
	Wade overturned. And yet, when he was questioned by one person on Wednesday night at the town hall that's being held on Fox, an audience member, she said, I've been vocal in celebrating with you all of your pro-life victories from the past, but then in this campaign, saying this to Trump...
	You've also blamed pro-lifers for some of the GOP losses around the country, and you've called heartbeat laws like Iowa's law terrible.
	She said, I'd just like some clarity on this because it's such an important question to me.
	I'd like for you to reassure me that you can protect all life, every person's right to life, without a compromise.
	And, of course, one of the reasons why he has done this is because everybody was pointing out that midterm losses were because Trump was like an albatross around the GOP's neck.
	And his abrasive, if you want to put it that way, personality was so strong that even though Biden was making a shambles of the economy, he still did not have that big red wave, except in Florida.
	And so then you have the personal attacks on DeSantis, and then Trump starts to attack the pro-life overthrowing of Roe v.
	Wade. So the questioner was referencing comments made by Trump over the past year where he said the abortion issue had been poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on no exceptions.
	You see, he doesn't have a problem with Republicans not showing what abortion is.
	It's a radical leftist progressive but pro-life candidate who is running for Congress so that she can show The baby parts that she discovered that still haunt her as part of their pro-life activities.
	She took the pictures of the aborted babies.
	The dismembered babies.
	And she put that in an ad.
	Because as a federal candidate, they can't censor your ads.
	But no Republicans will do that.
	None of them will unleash the truth.
	Instead, what they want to do is unleash the abortionists.
	And ease up on the restrictions.
	And to blame babies for Trump's personality.
	He says the problem is these hardline people.
	Again, he said that DeSantis was too harsh.
	So he said it's a terrible thing, a terrible mistake.
	Is he talking about abortion?
	No, he's talking about the underperformance in the 2022 congressional midterms.
	He doesn't care a fig about anybody but himself.
	And he'll throw anyone or anything under the bus if he thinks that it can help him win.
	He touted plans to put abortion behind us, quote-unquote, that's his phrase, behind us, and to, quote, come up with a number of weeks or months for an abortion cutoff that will make people happy on both sides.
	How about the baby? Are they happy about that?
	Trump said, you wouldn't be asking that question.
	You wouldn't even be talking about this issue.
	If it wasn't for me. He said, because 54 years they were trying to get Roe v.
	Wade terminated, but I did it.
	I did it. Yeah, he's the guy that stopped Roe v.
	Wade. He's the guy that's the father of the vaccine and all the rest of it.
	Nobody else ever does anything.
	He wants full credit for it.
	Well, as they point out on LifeSite News, Trump appointed three of the five U.S. justices, Supreme Court justices, that overturned Roe v.
	Wade. But where did he get that list?
	As I say, they were given to him by Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society.
	They gave him a list of people to pick from.
	And according to both Trump himself and his first appointee, Neil Gorsuch, he was not asking them about their position on being pro-life.
	So, the fact that these people voted this way, he has nothing to do with it.
	Trump himself said that he didn't vet these people to see if they were going to overturn Roe v.
	Wade. Neil Gorsuch and the other candidates said, no, we were not asked that, that litmus test, if you will.
	We were not asked that.
	So, Trump is taking credit for something that he, again, did not do.
	Trump did not vet the appointee's position prior to appointing them.
	them. Nevertheless, he has frequently claimed sole credit for the pro-life victory, while claiming that its true significance was to give pro-lifers quote, tremendous negotiating power. It's all about political calculations, isn't it?
	Well, who cares?
	Is Ronald Reagan the standard?
	Not at all. But he was also lying about that. That is also not true.
	As LifeSite points out, Reagan expressed support for a rape exception in 1975, two years after Roe. As a matter of fact, Reagan in the early years was pro-abortion.
	Then he moves and he's against abortion with exceptions.
	But by the time he became president, he opposed it and he advocated a constitutional amendment to ban abortion nationwide for any reason except the life of the mother.
	And he expressly called it his, quote, one exception.
	So, Trump is not aligned with Reagan on that.
	But again, Reagan is not the standard that we look at one way or the other.
	But he says to the woman who asked this, he says, but I'll say this to you.
	You have to win elections.
	The 4-D chess argument.
	Yeah, don't worry about the lockdowns.
	Don't worry about the mask.
	Don't worry about the bankruptcy. Don't worry about the universal basic income you're being trained on with the stimulus checks and the lockdowns.
	Don't worry about any of that stuff.
	Don't worry about the jab.
	It's 4D chess. As a matter of fact, the jab is just sugar water.
	This is what this is about.
	This is the Machiavellian Marxist approach, right?
	The end justifies the means.
	I'm sick of hearing that.
	I'm sick of hearing that, but that's what this guy's all about.
	That's what Alex is about as well.
	Alex will tell you anything.
	Anything. And he'll be for Trump or against Trump.
	He'll support DeSantis.
	I'm off the Trump train.
	Now I'm back on the thing.
	And, you know, he's...
	Anyway, if he's going to kill people, if he's going to enslave you, if he's going to destroy the Constitution in our society, if he's going to give dictatorial powers to create medical martial law to these people, hey, he's just doing it so he can win the election.
	I'm sorry, that's not good enough.
	Is that good enough for you? It's not for me.
	You should never accept that.
	You ought to reject anybody who sells you this 40 chess lies like Alex does.
	Or people like Trump.
	Hey, We're going to throw some babies under the bus here so I can win the election.
	Throw him out.
	Throw him out.
	He has absolutely no moral consideration for anything that he does.
	It's all about his own perceived self-interest or revenge, as his lawyer Ty Cobb said.
	Polls show that voters are equally averse to the Democrats' position of completely unregulated abortion for all nine months.
	Well, why don't we show them the truth of the murder?
	Why don't we show them what's being done to babies?
	Because I think if they were able to see that, if we were to let the truth loose, that's all that has to be done.
	But of course, the GOP won't do that.
	If you talk five or six weeks, he said, a lot of women don't even know they're pregnant in five or six weeks.
	Well, here's the thing, Benedict, Donald, we're talking about saving a baby's life.
	That's what we're talking about here.
	He then reiterated his interest in the abortion compromise, saying, I want to get something where people are happy.
	A few days before the town hall, DeSantis slammed Trump on life on the CNN town hall.
	So this is a guy that was at the March for Life in January 2020, and he said that all life was a gift from God.
	He said the unborn were made in the image of God.
	He said that there should be protections.
	That's what he was saying when he was president at the March for Life.
	Now he's saying it's a terrible, terrible thing.
	So how do you reconcile those two views?
	Did he flip-flop? Did he not believe it at the time?
	DeSantis said, some issues are pretty fundamental.
	How do you flip-flop on something like the sanctity of life?
	As many people are pointing out, of course, they try to make a big deal of this mother in Texas.
	I have to be able to abort this child because it's got trisomy 18.
	Well, a lot of people have come forward with it, talking about how they have kids who are in their teens.
	You had...
	Republican in Pennsylvania.
	I can't remember his name right now.
	And he's got a child who's 13 years old.
	And he came back against Ann Coulter and these other Republicans who said, well, if you've got trisomy 18, you ought to definitely abort that child.
	There's a lot of people who have children who have trisomy 18.
	Speaking back, this family says their child, Andy, is now three years old.
	A miracle, they said, he has a trisomy 18, which means that it branches off in this genetic condition.
	Every cell in his body is affected by this.
	He is absolutely, however, thriving.
	Thanks to other parents, trisomy parents, who have helped us along the way and because his dad and I have advocated for him and not taken no for an answer.
	We have traveled hundreds of miles away for fair care and we are heavy into therapies, unconditional love and devotion and aggressive medical intervention, including but not limited to major heart repair surgery at four months old.
	And so they go on this long article sharing a lot of details about the health challenges that I'm not going to talk about.
	But I want to just wrap it up with what they conclude with this.
	Well, first of all, how they talk about how the doctors tried all the arguments they could to try to get them to kill their child.
	Their three-year-old child now.
	Doctors told me that having a special needs child negatively affects the siblings.
	They were so wrong.
	His big brother loves him so much.
	They have a big, beautiful bond.
	And Gabe has made it a point to ask me and want to be involved in Andy's medical care.
	So I taught him all of it.
	He changed out the first G-tube recently.
	He also chose to do the most admirable thing possible in front of his whole class.
	He wrote an essay for school about Andy and all the special needs children and people with disabilities.
	There is so much hope in this diagnosis.
	In my pain, I found my purpose.
	In trials and tribulations, I found triumph.
	Fighting for my child.
	I found a love greater than anything I've known.
	And so, you see this with many people who are living and thriving with this diagnosis.
	These are not only children, or rather, they're not only children, but many adults who are having fulfilling and wonderful lives even though they're diagnosed with trisomy 18.
	They're all worthy of life.
	Sorry, Donald. Your damn political career?
	I don't give a flip about your political career.
	I will never support that murdering criminal.
	He's killed millions of people as he brags about saving millions of people.
	One of the most despicable people on earth in history.
	Yeah, he is like Hitler.
	History... Doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.
	This preening demagogue that looks like these fascist leaders that we've seen in the past.
	It's just amazing.
	Strutting around on stage, he makes me want to throw up.
	Iowa evangelical pastors condemn this sickening video that portrays Trump as a messianic figure.
	Yeah, you know, according to Trump, God messed up some of these babies and they're not worthy of life, but God created Trump.
	Bow down and worship to this guy, right?
	He endorsed, he retweeted this garbage, as many people are talking about it, described as a man who cares for the flock.
	No? No?
	What did he do to his January the 6th people?
	He threw them under the bus as well.
	A shepherd to mankind who will never leave or forsake them.
	Lockdowns, poison, January the 6th.
	Finishing a hard week's work by attending church on Sunday.
	I don't think he's ever attended church except as a campaign event.
	Maybe Epstein parties on a Sunday, but not a church.
	Michael Demastus, a pastor of a Fort Des Moines Church of Christ, said this video is sickening.
	He said many other evangelical pastors find that video offensive.
	Any Christian ought to find that video offensive.
	He said the video demeans Christianity, Trump, and the people who made it.
	It says a lot about the people around Trump and their understanding of Christianity, and also about Trump, who loved it.
	Another time in April, he had told Associated Press when they talked to him, That he would consider voting for Trump because he was, quote, the most pro-life president we've ever had.
	Not anymore. Not anymore.
	In 2016, he said he had backed Ted Cruz for the nomination, thinking that Trump was, quote, morally loathsome, wicked, and reprehensible.
	You had it right.
	He says, the video is troubling because of the messianic tone in it.
	He said, that's not how we view Trump.
	When you are positing yourself in a messianic way, maybe you could trial a bit more humility.
	Or maybe a little bit of truth, but I don't think we're going to get humility or truth out of Trump.
	Look, if Trump wins this election, wins this nomination, this election is not going to be about issues.
	It's going to be about a contest of loathsome personalities.
	And about the lack of character.
	But by the way, he's not going to be running against Biden.
	I really don't think that's going to be the case.
	You know, Trump's personality will be on display.
	We don't know who is going to be running against him.
	And then Drudge, who will go anywhere he can to find something to criticize Trump and Christians especially.
	He found this thing from the New Statesman.
	And I thought, who is this source?
	I looked at it. These people that Drudge pulled up, they wrote this article, Why the Religious Right Forgives Trump's Sins.
	And their take on it was that Christians are into domination and submission.
	You know, they're kind of like some, you know, we're like that cross-dressing guy that stole the dresses.
	That is under domination and submission and all that kind of stuff.
	That's the way they try to portray Christians.
	This new statesman is a publication of the UK. And they are professed socialists.
	As a matter of fact, I looked at their site.
	They had things like, you know, capitalism will kill us all.
	You know, that's where these people are coming from.
	And they openly say that they promote socialism.
	They don't try to cover it at all.
	And in this picture of this article...
	Pull it up there. What a clownish group this is.
	That's Paula White, staying there next to him.
	And all these people that are there.
	Paula White is there with him because she's selling the prosperity gospel, which is not the gospel at all, but it's something that he wants.
	Money. Yeah, money.
	Yeah, prosperity gospel...
	Money is the root of all evil.
	That's what they're selling you.
	Did an interview with Wilkinson in the fall, and one person wrote an op-ed piece about it and said, I just saw this, because nobody really cares what Francis Collins says anymore.
	But this person says, you know, Francis Collins kind of apologized for what he did, but he's not sorry at all about it.
	But at least he claims that he did the wrong thing, unlike Trump, who brags about it and never says that he's never done anything wrong.
	So he said, as a guy living inside, this is his confession about what he got wrong and what should have changed.
	Francis Collins, who, again, portrays himself as a Christian, although what he has done is he has used his platform To do as much as he could to oppose the Bible's account of creation and try to put his account of what he thinks happened as superior.
	It's the kind of higher criticism that we saw throughout Germany in the 1800s, and we know where that led.
	Anyway, as a guy living inside the Beltway, feeling the sense of crisis, trying to decide what to do in some situation room in the White House with people who had data that was incomplete.
	Yeah, they had no data.
	No data. And we weren't really thinking about what that would mean to you and your family in Minnesota, he says to the interviewer, a thousand miles away from where the virus was hitting so hard.
	It wasn't hitting anybody hard.
	But he says, though, if you're a public health person, And you're trying to make a decision.
	You have this very narrow view of what the right decision is.
	And it's something that will save a life.
	It doesn't matter what else happens.
	So you attach infinite value to stopping this disease and saving a life.
	You attach zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people's lives, ruins the economy, keeps kids out of school.
	This is the public health mindset.
	Well, that should be damning enough to get rid of the public health mindset, don't you think?
	But again, notice that he doesn't really care about individuals, and he doesn't care about anything other than his little narrow consideration.
	And I think that's really kind of a succinct statement about what is wrong with public health, a very conception of it.
	We're going to subjugate everything.
	We're going to subjugate individual health to public health.
	And we're going to subjugate every aspect of life to my perception, even at the beginning of it.
	He says, well, you know, we don't have all this information.
	We're kind of flying by the seat of the pants.
	But we're going to dictate all this stuff to everybody in a kind of medical martial law.
	Even though they have no legal authority to do this.
	Even though they don't have data.
	Even though they're not doing science.
	Even though they have no concern about the impact on other people's lives.
	He said, Rich Lowry in National Review commented on that statement from Francis Collins and said, that's an awful lot of very important things to attach zero value to.
	And the person who wrote this says, well, we're not just talking about a single tragic slip here.
	Like an experienced neurosurgeon who makes one fatal error and loses a patient on the table.
	He says, no, it's like this.
	It's not like that. This is what these people did.
	He says it's like a neurosurgeon confessing that he's never really a neurosurgeon at all.
	Maybe once he cut open a watermelon.
	And then he cuts open a person and he's shocked to find that, whoa, there's a lot of stuff in there.
	Yeah, that's what we're talking about.
	People who are not scientists, people who are not competent, people who don't know what they're doing.
	Making all these decisions for everybody else.
	Assuming the mantle of legal authority.
	Nobody, by the way, asked Francis Collins about the abortion for hire that he was doing, ripping babies apart to get their parts and to create humanized mice.
	That's what he and Fauci were doing.
	Nobody asked him about his gain-of-function research in this.
	If you watch the whole dialogue carefully, you'll see that Collins can't even allow this partial confession to stand without rewriting history and casting himself as a tragic hero.
	He follows this up by framing the health professionals as basically soft-hearted, and the economic professionals as basically hard-hearted.
	He says, it's hard to contemplate a circumstance where you say it's okay to let some people die in order to preserve some economic benefit.
	Although, no doubt, some economists could make a spreadsheet telling you the monetary value of life.
	But I swore to the Hippocratic Oath.
	And to be able to say, well, that was just sort of conditional on it being okay economically, that's a very hard thing to do.
	This person says, so in other words...
	He messed up because he just cared too much Can you really blame a guy for caring too much?
	Francis Collins goes on to say, the fact is, raising the alarm about how far we take economically crippling anti-COVID measures is not just an exercise in college Republican club policy wonkery.
	It's an acknowledgment to the people whose way of life has been barely hanging by a now broken thread.
	So, I'm sorry, that's not Francis Collins.
	That's this guy who wrote this thing, this article, and he said back in March of 2020, he said that.
	He said it's not just Republican club policy wonkery.
	He said this is saying that we've got people out here whose lives are hanging on a thread.
	A bad economy doesn't just mean flashing red lights on a computer screen in a Wall Street office.
	It means chaos for single moms scotch taping together, waitressing, and house cleaning jobs.
	It means ruin.
	For the small business owner who built something from nothing and now has to snip the lifeline for his employees personally.
	It means uncertainty for the food vendor and a wife and kids and a father depending on him.
	And you can see these human faces and more.
	And he says, this is to say nothing of how the shutdown will affect those who are mentally ill.
	He said all this stuff as it was happening in March.
	And I did as well.
	There's absolutely no medical reason to lock up people who were not sick.
	That should be an abomination to us all.
	But let me tell you, that was 100% Trump.
	Biden was not doing that.
	And that was all Trump and all Fauci and Trump putting Fauci in as president.
	And let me tell you, Trump will do it again.
	He doesn't need to have a real disease.
	That one was fake. He could do it with a real disease or he could do it with a fake disease.
	If it was something that was real, certainly he would do the same failed policies again.
	He didn't make any mistakes.
	And of course, just like Francis Collins, he's not going to admit to it.
	In fact, even worse than Collins, Trump continues to brag about this.
	Trump has zero remorse.
	And feels like he doesn't need to pull any of it back.
	As a matter of fact, he projects all these failures onto other people, of course.
	No mea culpa.
	It's everybody else's fault.
	So, Rich Lowry points out that if Collins was wrong, that means that the dissenters were right.
	And if Collins and Trump and Fauci now want to offer an apology on one hand, They don't get to take it away on the other by continuing to demonize other people as fundamentally ignoble while painting himself, even though he's an error, as fundamentally noble.
	This is the kind of stuff that we saw from people like Scott Adams, for example.
	At the beginning of this, instead of him, you know, this guy saying, hey, this is not just some kind of flashing lights on a Wall Street computer.
	This is real people's lives.
	People on Main Street that you're destroying.
	Scott Adams, two weeks into this, said it's getting harder and harder to tell the freedom lovers, the so-called freedom lovers, from sociopaths.
	Well, as a freedom lover, I objected to that.
	I took it personally, and I came back and I said, well, it's getting harder and harder to tell pragmatists like you from totalitarians.
	And then when all this came through, and Scott Adams had to admit that he was wrong, He wouldn't admit that the people who got it right really understood what was going on.
	He said, you just got it lucky.
	Nobody knew what was going to happen.
	Well, if you didn't know what was going to happen, why did you support some boneheaded totalitarian policies that were doomed to failure and doomed to destroy us?
	Why would you support that?
	I think it really explains why his so-called comic strip is not funny, and it doesn't have any insights in it either.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, I have something else to say about some of these people who followed all this stuff.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.

	Using free speech to free minds.
	you It's the David Knight Show.
	On Rumble, Mr.
	Kashanji, thank you very much for the tip.
	Thank you for that and the kind words.
	On Rumble, NMAX said, just too many coincidences with Trump with me.
	He said during the campaign that he would end autism and all these vaccines, and they became vaccine daddy overnight.
	Yeah. He even brought in RFK Jr.
	to scare the pharmaceutical companies so they could give him a lot of money during the transition period and then never talk to him again.
	But let's talk about some of the people who enable this.
	It's not just Francis Collins, this guy who parades his Christianity there in order to shut it down.
	Michael Brown has an op-ed piece on WND, several other places I've seen it.
	And he is somebody who says, I'm a leader in a Pentecostal charismatic church, but he's really fed up with these pro-Trump prophets that are out there.
	You know, people like Julie Green.
	People like Paula White. He says, my issue is not political at all.
	He says, it's about the honor of God.
	And the reputation of the Spirit.
	He said it's about credibility.
	He said there's still egg on our faces because of this 2020 debacle.
	All these people out there. Trump is anointed of God and he's not going to be removed and he won the election and all the rest of this stuff.
	Well, you know, he doesn't go to the biblical solution for this, actually.
	He says these people need to pull this back and admit that they were wrong and they still aren't admitting that they're wrong.
	But that's not The real issue is you've got a false prophet like this.
	You take them outside the camp and you stone them.
	Now, I'm not saying that we murder these people, but you take them outside and you heap scorn upon them.
	You out them as liars and false prophets, and they should have lost their leadership and their credibility forever, quite frankly.
	He said, even though I worked hard with others to call for accountability to rebuke these false prophecies about Trump, he says, this charismatic group is my family, so there's egg on all of our faces, and this is my mess too, he says.
	Well, you know, I've got a word from the Lord.
	God will send people in the last days a strong delusion.
	And there's a lot of people out there who have Trump delusion syndrome.
	That TDS. He says there's still a lot of excuse-making and finger-pointing and blame-shifting without any accountability, without any integrity, to the point that some of the quote-unquote prophets who blew it most egregiously, and I mean prophesying specific dates and timelines that flatly didn't pan out, have continued to prophesy about Trump to this day without correction or apology.
	Why do they do that? Because the people don't kick them out.
	Instead, you've got people like Julie Green, Who is being elevated by other false prophets like Michael Flynn, pushing this occultic stuff, and this reawakened tour, and Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., they're elevating Julie Green.
	They don't have any problem at all with her lying.
	Why? Well, because they don't have any problem with a liar-in-chief, Donald Trump.
	To the contrary, they've attacked those of us who call for correction and accountability, rather than humbling themselves and saying, we blew it, we were wrong, and we need to get our act together.
	That's not even what should be done with it.
	There is, fine, say that, and then you're done.
	Get out. When I responded, saying that whether or not the election was stolen, Trump would not be inaugurated, I was called an unbeliever, a rhino.
	A secret leftist, a communist, a plant of the Democrat Party.
	He said, seriously? Well, I know, because I've been called all that stuff as well.
	By these people who have the Trump delusion, and they got it strong.
	That's what the TDS is.
	Trump delusion, strong.
	So he says, I was told that it was because of cowardly, unbelieving people like me that Trump might not make it.
	The so-called prophets were likened to Joshua and Caleb, ready to lead the children of Israel into the promised land.
	People like me were likened to the ten spies, full of unbelief, who told the Israelites that they could not take the land.
	Yeah. He says, what deception, what drivel, what an insult to the word of God and to the character of God.
	So the truth be told, in the midst of the pro-Trump prophecy frenzy, it took far more courage to say that he would not be president than to join the affirming throngs.
	Yet, for taking a stand and speaking the truth and going against the grain, he said, I was told that I was being cowardly.
	He said, for the record, the only thing that hurt me was that people were hurting and being misled.
	Losing followers was not my concern.
	Losing my ability to help them was.
	Amen. That's exactly it.
	Thankfully, a few prophets acknowledged their error in prophesying a Trump victory, yet by apologizing, they came under far more attack than I did in calling for accountability.
	Because, again, these people are liars, deceivers, wolves among the sheep.
	So, he said, yet the excuses continue.
	Donald Trump did win the election, they said.
	And you've heard this. If you've looked at any of this stuff, you've heard it.
	He did win the election, just as we prophesied, but it was stolen from him.
	So then, why didn't God tell you that it would be stolen, he said?
	This would be kind of like somebody telling you, well, tomorrow the Lord's going to give you a brand new car.
	Oh, but I failed to tell you that as it was being delivered to your home, a thief carjacked it, and you will never see it.
	Where it's like a man standing on a street corner in Manhattan, clapping his hands and shouting.
	Somebody says, what are you doing? He says, I'm keeping the crocodiles away.
	Somebody says, there's no crocodiles for hundreds of miles.
	And he says, see, it works. Yeah, that's the way most of these people are.
	So as I remember, I write this as a two-time Trump voter in 2016 and 2020.
	Not me. Fool me once, I'm done.
	And I wasn't even fooled by that.
	I said, well, we got nothing else to look at.
	You know, we've got, you know, in 2016, we had Gary Johnson.
	Who didn't know Aleppo from Alabama and didn't know anything else.
	And he got it completely wrong in terms of individual liberty when people are trying to force a Christian baker to bake a custom cake.
	He said, well, you've got to force him like that.
	That's like telling somebody, this is like an utility company is what he's saying.
	You can't choose not to give electricity to somebody because you don't like their LGBT status or whatever.
	It's like, not that at all.
	This guy has a shop.
	He doesn't have a government-granted monopoly on anything.
	I mean, Gary Johnson was pathetic.
	There wasn't anybody else out there.
	And at the time, I wasn't that focused on local and state elections.
	I think that's what we need to focus on.
	But he said, speaking directly to the Trump prophets, I remind you that many of you told us Trump would serve eight consecutive years.
	He did not. Number two, you told us the courts would overturn the election results, even giving us time frames with certain states that would turn from blue to red.
	This also did not happen.
	And number three, that Trump, not Biden, would be inaugurated and that Biden would never serve a day in the White House.
	None of that happened.
	And what did some of you say since then?
	Well, it doesn't matter who's in the White House because Trump is God's president.
	Or, I see a vision of Trump sitting enthroned in heaven, ruling with a golden scepter.
	They've said this. Or, there are two presidents now, a false one and a real one.
	Or, that's not really Joe Biden.
	That's somebody impersonating him.
	Trump is a real president.
	You know, again, when I look at this, what this reminds me of is the repeated appearances and lies from Alex Jones with all the stop and steal stuff, Steve Pchenik coming back over and over and over again, saying very specific things, none of them coming true.
	Alex continuing to have him on and essentially admitting that that was the reason I was fired, offering him my job.
	Well, he can have my job.
	You can take that job and stuff it, Alex.
	I don't work for liars.
	Thank you.
	I even have colleagues, he said, who don't claim to be prophets who reached out to me some months before November 2020 saying that God showed them that Biden would be president.
	One reason being the degree to which many Christians had made Trump into an idol.
	And the people sinned a great sin, for they had made them a god of gold.
	And they bore him upon their shoulders and rejoiced, saying, This be our God, O Israel.
	Yeah, that's where we are now.
	And you know, it's characteristic of the time that we're in.
	And we can talk about these corrupt churches and these corrupt organizations and these corrupt movements like Reawaken America and the Julie Greens and the Paula Whites and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's everywhere, isn't it?
	And it's not just in religion.
	It's in all of our organizations.
	It's in the Republican Party, the Democrat Party, all of them.
	That's the time that we're living in.
	I came across this article.
	And it was, again, fundamentally about what was happening from a Christian standpoint, but it has applications to everything in this particular time.
	This person, Richard Ackerman, talking about this movement that somebody called Operation Reconquista.
	Saying it's plausible, it's necessary.
	Hundreds of young traditionalists, mainline Protestants trudged through the snow to post 95 theses against liberalism on the doors of hundreds of mainline Protestant churches this past Reformation Day.
	In other words, repeating what Martin Luther did, but then in this particular case, doing it to the Presbyterian Church, the United Methodist Church, the Episcopalians, the United Church of Christ, that type of thing, calling them to reform.
	Well, I think that's a waste of time, quite frankly.
	And I say it's a waste of time, because what did Jesus say about institutions That are incapable of reform.
	Why? Because they become too calcified, too set in their way, too corrupt.
	And that is true of political organizations that are downstream, of religious organizations.
	It's very true. He said, you don't put new wine into old wineskins.
	These old wineskins have already had wine that's gone through the fermentation process, has expanded as far as it can, and it's now hardened, and you put some new wine in there, and you fill it up, and it's going to try to expand, and it's going to burst that thing.
	And that's where we are in this fourth turning.
	We have all these different institutions, whether they're educational, political, religious, you name it, corporate.
	They all are calcified and corrupt, and they're incapable of being changed.
	And so, again, what are you trying to save, even, with that?
	You know, when they talk about this, well, and he even mentions it.
	He goes, well, you know, I know one church over here, there's a Presbyterian Church USA, you know, because it's already split three times.
	There's like an Orthodox Presbyterian, and there's a Presbyterian America, I think.
	But... Because this church over here, they have orthodox beliefs and everything.
	The only difference between them and some of these other ones, they've got a big, beautiful building.
	So is that what you're trying to save?
	You're trying to save the big, beautiful building?
	Are you trying to save the J. Edgar Hoover building and the legacy, the imaginary legacy of J. Edgar Hoover?
	Is that why we're talking about reforming the FBI instead of just wiping it out, getting rid of it?
	And saying there was never any authority for something like this in the first place.
	And that's what we need to be saying about this religious reformation as well.
	Are you trying to save people or are you trying to save an institution that you created?
	A denomination that you created?
	What is the point of all of this?
	Are we trying to save Donald Trump?
	Are we trying to save the Republican Party?
	I don't care about either one of those things.
	They don't matter. You know, we need to save some principles that are on the line.
	A good example of this, you know, in the Catholic Church, you look at what is happening.
	You got this guy who was making the new rules about marriage.
	And what was he doing a few years ago?
	He was writing pornography with Jesus in it.
	That's what the Catholic Church has become.
	And so now, you've got Martin Scorsese, who's going to make a new movie to make Jesus more accessible, and to take away the negative onus of organized religion.
	So we're going to have Hollywood rescue Christianity.
	And I see this not just on the Catholic side, but I see this.
	Oh, well, you know, we've got to get this movie.
	Look at how popular that is.
	Let's push this out.
	That's reaching people through the movie.
	You know, the Bible...
	It's cheap. You can probably get one for free.
	It's less than the cost of a movie ticket.
	You don't need this stuff retold and repackaged.
	If somebody has been awakened by God, called by God, if they have been given that seed of interest, they'll look at the Bible.
	And they'll get the real thing.
	Accept no substitutes.
	Don't accept Martin Scorsese's version of this or this, you know, What is the name of that one that's rolling around that's so big?
	You even got them, they're going through and they're redoing the Jesus film, which is fine.
	You know, I don't have a problem with that if they go through and they have actors who are reading the stuff.
	But of course, you know, whenever you do that, you are inevitably putting things in there that are your own interpretation.
	How was that line delivered?
	Who was he looking at? How are people responding to it?
	All the rest of this stuff. And they openly admit that.
	But, you know, we look at this and we'll do anything to avoid actually looking at what God says and actually reading what God says.
	It's there. It's so simple.
	Why do we go to make all these movies?
	Are we going to be rescued by Hollywood?
	Are they going to rescue Christianity?
	This has got Martin Scorsese.
	This is the guy who did The Last Temptation of Christ.
	We're going to look to him for reformation?
	He doesn't know what he's talking about.
	What is the standard? Christianity is, in a very important sense, it's not a religion.
	Most religions are, do this in order to please God.
	No, it's very different.
	God came to save us.
	God gave us his righteousness and took our sin.
	Now, there's also, you know, tells us, well, this is what is going to, the kind of life, and do these things, and you will have a life that is wonderful.
	You'll have a life that will draw you closer to God.
	But that's not what saves us.
	And we do walk in those ways so that we can get closer to God.
	But that's not what Christianity is about.
	It's not about coming up with a set of rules that we can do.
	We can't do that. We can please God, but only after He's taken away our sin and given His righteousness and given us a new beginning.
	And yeah, at this point in time, that's exactly what we need.
	We need new wine.
	And the problem is we're trying to put it in these old constructs.
	He says when he's talking about his movie, Scorsese said, I've been looking at my movies, ways to find redemption for the human condition.
	Well, you'll find that in the Bible, not in Martin Scorsese's movies.
	As a matter of fact, film critic Brian Godawa, and he actually did a movie himself.
	It was a good movie. To End All Wars was one of his movies, but he's been a film critic.
	And he talked about movies, and he said, most movies that are really engaging are Have at the heart of them an idea of redemption.
	And he said, and as a film critic, and he looked at all kinds of films, he was not just a Christian, but he looked at all types of films, and he would constantly come back to that theme of redemption, of darkness and then redemption.
	Scorsese said, a fear of society and culture that is corrupted because of its lack of grounding in morality and spirituality.
	So where are we going to get that standard?
	You know, yeah, the Bible does give you morality.
	It tells you that that's not going to be something that you can save yourself with, but it still is an important thing.
	It's an important thing about our relationship to each other.
	And to God, so it is important and it has a standard.
	He said, I've responded to the Pope's appeal to artists in the only way that I know, by imagining and writing a screenplay for a film about Jesus.
	Well, again, we got the guy who was doing porn about Jesus.
	I guess the West wants a comfortable religion.
	But when you...
	Look at whether or not religion is comfortable.
	We'll just finish up with this person in Iran.
	Got an Iranian Christian convert, 60 years old, sentenced to six years in prison.
	In the picture of her, she's on a walker.
	She's been crippled by a car accident.
	They arrested her, two other individuals, because they had an underground house church.
	They sentenced the guy who was an Armenian pastor to 10 years.
	Another person who was there also got a six-year sentence.
	This is what people who are not focused on institutions do.
	This is what they put up with in other countries because of their faith.
	We don't see this type of thing that often in America, but it's the type of thing that we need to pay attention to.
	We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk to Gerald Slenty, who is already on the line and ready.
	So stay with us, folks.
	We'll be right back with Gerald.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles!
	And the sweet sounds of Motown.
	Find them on the oldies channel at APS radio.com.
	I'm going to be doing a video on the oldies channel.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	All right, joining us now is Gerald Salenti of TrendsJournal.com.
	And of course, if you use the code NIGHT, you can save 10% off that.
	It's a weekly publication.
	A massive amount of information there every week, and it's very nicely organized into an online magazine.
	And so... Again, if you use the code NIGHT, you can save 10% there off of TrendsJournal.com.
	So it's been a while since we've talked.
	Gerald, good to have you back on.
	And now that we're here in the new year, I want to get your ideas about what you see coming in the next year.
	What are your trends that you see for 2024?
	Happy days of year again.
	Everything is going to be perfect.
	It's a dark comedy.
	Go back to 2023.
	Look at some of our top trends.
	One of the top ones, Middle East meltdown.
	We warned this last year.
	We warned it when that murderous little arrogant piece of genocidal crap scum Netanyahu got re-elected in December of 2022.
	Not my language, but the mainstream media.
	He was put into office by right-wing extremists.
	Yeah.
	People have no idea of what caused the October 7th Hamas attack.
	Let's go back. There were 39 weeks of major protests going on in Israel.
	The clown boy, another arrogant little jerk, Isaac Herzog, the president of Israel, God gave us this land.
	Hey, you were talking about religions before, right?
	Hey, how about if I don't believe in your God?
	What the hell with you?
	My God's the real God.
	God gave us this land.
	Save it, Jack. Okay, let's go back.
	There's the same Isaac Herzog.
	There were 39 weeks of hundreds of thousands of Israelis taking to the streets.
	From January, beginning of January 20, not January, about March, about March of 2023 to October 6th, just before Hamas.
	Hundreds of thousands of Israelis taking to the streets because of Netanyahu's Judicial Reform Act.
	Which basically said, I'm being brought up on corruption charges, and if I get this Judiciary Reform Act passed, they can't take me to court, because they're going to do away with the courts and the politicians will be in charge.
	That Isaac Herzog called it a civil war was going on in Israel before Hamas attacked.
	A civil war.
	One of my lines is, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	That's right. Because, again, we only put the data in the Trends Journal.
	And by the way, take what's going on with the Israel war.
	What do we do? We go to the Times of Israel.
	We go to Jerusalem Post.
	We go to Haaretz.
	We go to the Iranian news, ISNA, IRNA, Tehran news.
	We go to Al Jazeera.
	We go to Euronews.
	We go all over the world.
	We pick out what they're saying, and we put the stories together, and they give our trends analysis and trend forecasts so we're not selling propaganda like they all are.
	So we put what they're reporting right after the Hamas attack, right after it.
	Nobody remembers this.
	The United States and Egypt had already warned Netanyahu that the attack was coming.
	This came out like two days after the attack.
	They let it happen so he could stay in power.
	A civil war was going on.
	Alright, now let's go back to what was going on as well as that civil war.
	They were slaughtering Palestinians in the West Bank.
	They were raiding mosques.
	They were stealing more land.
	So... Here.
	This is one of our transjournalists, right?
	Yeah. Yeah, that's Christ beating bankers, I guess.
	That guy in the front looks kind of like George W. Bush.
	But it's bankers, right?
	Goldman Sachs gag.
	Yeah. He...
	The Prince of Peace fought, made a whip to drive the money changers out of the temple, the same banksters that are slaughtering us now.
	So now, if you and your family were Palestinians, and you were locked in an enclave in a, quote, apartheid state, not my language, but many, many Organizations, including the United Nations, calling an apartheid state.
	And you're locked in there since 2007.
	And the reason you're there is because they threw your family out of their homes in 1948.
	The Nakba. When they pushed all the Palestinians out and put them in that enclave.
	They're killing, robbing, stealing.
	You think you're going to fight back?
	And then the facts coming out from Max Blumenthal.
	So don't call me anti-Jewish because I think Blumenthal's Jewish.
	All the facts about how the Israelis killed most of those people on October 8th.
	Yeah. There's the video of the tank firing into the kibbutz.
	There are the videos of the helicopters shooting the people.
	Mm-hmm. The Israelis killed most of those people.
	Yeah. So, going back to this, that was one of our top trends for 2023.
	Middle East meltdown.
	It melted down.
	Now, one of our top trends for 2024 is World War III. Yeah.
	Yeah, and of course, things have stepped up there in the...
	With the attacks from the Hooties, and so now in the last 24, 48 hours, there's been attacks on those bases.
	It's spreading. There's been attacks into Lebanon, and of course, that base of unrest, nothing is cooling off.
	It's all heating up with even more stuff there.
	What were some of the other things that you saw in 2023?
	Because I like the fact that when I asked you about trends in 2024, you go back to talk about what you saw coming a year ago.
	You don't see that from...
	I said before the New Year's began, I said, you know, you've got all these people, every year they do these articles about what Nostradamus says.
	And it's all very general, but they never talk about, so what were his predictions, or what was his psychic's prediction, or anybody else?
	What were their predictions for last year?
	How did they do last year?
	And so I like the fact that you go back and you point out, well, this is what we said last year, and look at it happen.
	And unfortunately, I think you're increasingly right.
	Do you think that they're going to...
	Expand this as part of the election chaos, or will they wait until after the election to really...
	Absolutely! When all else fails, they take you to war.
	Yeah, yeah. What followed the Great Depression?
	Oh, yeah. What followed the dot-com bust?
	The war on terror.
	Yeah. I just told you, they do this all the time.
	Right, right. They do it all the time.
	It's a fact there for everybody to look at.
	So it's so important because they're going to, you know, there's this thing called the Samson option.
	You know about that, right? Yeah, that's right.
	Pulling the temple down and with nuclear weapons.
	Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
	So now they're going after Hezbollah.
	Oh, they call the Hezbollah, by the way, militants, right?
	Militants. Militants?
	You mean these are the people in Lebanon that forced the Israelis out of Lebanon?
	Why, how dare they force the Israelis out of Lebanon?
	They can take anything that they want!
	They're militants!
	They're not militants!
	They're protecting themselves from invaders!
	And... Here's the other thing.
	You were talking about religions before.
	Mm-hmm. What, they all got locked, sure?
	Where are all the religions?
	How come they're not coming out talking about peace?
	Because they're cheering Trump.
	That's right. Where were the Christians?
	Where were the Mormons?
	Were they Seventh-day Adventists waiting for the eighth day?
	Hey, all you quakers, you're dying in an earthquake.
	When you were talking about the Catholic Church, I was raised Catholic.
	It has nothing to do with Christ.
	Nothing. Nothing.
	Nothing. My life was destroyed for many years.
	I told you about this, a nun beating me up in the fifth grade, perforating my middle ear and breaking my eardrum.
	I was a top athlete, the fastest kid, lost all of it.
	Lost my balance, could no longer get my ears wet.
	I used to go water skiing in the Hudson River and go over the wakes of ships with just a belt on and almost doing a 180 on a slalom going water skiing and I could never get my ears wet again the rest of my life.
	And then she left me back.
	So I became the stupidest kid around.
	Christ would have loved what she did to me.
	Oh, as I say, I'm thankful Father Foley was a ladies' man.
	Every week you're reading, every couple of days, about how the priests sexually abuse all these kids.
	Over and over, over and over, over and over.
	I'll tell you, the gays took over the Catholic Church when they invented celibacy.
	Can't get married, can't get married.
	You know why the gays took it over?
	Who has better costumes than the Catholic Church?
	Christmas time.
	The gay apparel, right?
	But anyway, where are the religions?
	Where are, in every piece of our paper money, in God we trust, what God do we trust that we're taking our money to give weapons to Israel to kill all these innocent people?
	When you put the numbers in, over 30,000.
	There's over 7,000 people buried in rubble that they can't find.
	And we're doing this to get Hamas.
	Who the hell are you talking to?
	Who the hell are you talking to?
	You're doing it to get rid of them and steal more land.
	Again, since 1967, these are settlements.
	You're stealing land. What do you mean, settlements?
	It's against the Geneva Convention.
	It's against Article 242 of the United Nations.
	You're stealing the damn land!
	Hey, Salenti, you're an anti-Semite.
	You don't like Jews.
	We can steal anything that we want.
	We're stealing the damn land!
	And guess what? Guess what?
	If somebody came in here, if they came in here and tried to steal what I'd have, I'd blow their damn brains out.
	Got it? Got it?
	If somebody comes in here, into my place, and tries to take over my life, I'll kill them.
	I will protect myself.
	I attack the attacker.
	Well, except that here in America, we've got the borders wide open, and nobody is allowed to do anything.
	I think it was Abbott who said, we're doing everything we can.
	If we shoot them, the feds will come after us for murder.
	And it's like, well, you wouldn't have to actually hit anybody if you started taking some potshots, probably.
	But still, they're not interested, and they only do limited protection of the border.
	Of course, the Democrats want to have it completely open.
	How do you see that happening?
	And how do you see war factoring in to this election?
	Because they are connected, as you pointed out.
	Are they going to...
	How do you think they're going to time this?
	Do you think they're going to do this early on?
	Or will they do it at the last minute before the election?
	What do you think is going to happen?
	They don't have a plan.
	They don't have a plan for it.
	It's as it keeps happening.
	So let's go back to the war.
	And again...
	80%, over 80% of the people swallowed the crap coming out of little Georgie Bush's mouth that were going to get that guy Osama Bin Laden dead or alive.
	Biden's ratings are in the toilet.
	The people don't want either Trump or Biden, by the way, when you look at the polls.
	What they just did, what the United States did attacking, Biden said it was his choice to attack Yemen.
	That's against the Constitution.
	You weren't being threatened.
	He said America's being threatened.
	You're a goddamn liar.
	They weren't threatening us.
	They were stopping ships over there going into Israel.
	That's what they were doing because they're trying to stop the slaughter of the Palestinians.
	He had no right to go bomb this place.
	It's against the Constitution.
	Where's the outrage?
	None. None.
	So now let's go back to the migrants.
	One of your top trends for this year.
	Migrant madness. And I'm mad as hell.
	Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Here's the story.
	When I was a kid, I remember my parents, may I rest in peace, talking, a little kid, about they were trying to get their cousin Constantino from Napoli to come into America and it was so hard to get him in here.
	That's how restrictive it was.
	Oh, yeah. Immigration.
	Oh, yeah. I remember just a couple of decades ago, Karen still has family in Italy.
	They were trying to immigrate.
	They couldn't do it. You know, it was impossible for them to come to America, because they were trying to do it legally.
	Very, very restrictive. And of course, Elon Musk is saying, you make it virtually impossible for somebody to legally immigrate here, but you keep the borders wide open.
	And what I talk about, Gerald, is the magnet.
	You know, everybody says, well...
	We've got to make sure that they're not stealing our jobs, so you should get an ID, e-verify, and get permission from the government in order to have a job.
	But we're paying these people to come in.
	They're going to give them two years free rent in one Northeastern state.
	California's giving them $300 a week unemployment right away.
	And all the free health care that they can get.
	I mean, this is a massive magnet that's pulling people through, and it's going to pull them through a wall, over a wall, under a wall.
	Any border thing that you put up there, they're going to find a way in if you give people these kinds of benefits.
	You said California's good.
	They're stealing our money to do it.
	Yeah. Oh, yeah. That California is stealing our money.
	The tax is ridiculous.
	The tax laws in this country are ridiculous what you pay.
	So let's go back to the...
	Here's how it changed.
	Again, I'm 77 years old.
	I'm prime draft meat during the Vietnam War.
	They're drafting everything.
	By the way, that's the only reason I went to college.
	Because if you went to college, you'd get a deferment.
	Yeah, I remember. I wanted to open up a delicatessen in the Bronx in Parkchester, you know.
	And I'm drafting everybody.
	The only school I could get into, I barely got out of high school, was in Charleston, West Virginia.
	They used to call us greasers.
	The greaser from the Bronx had black greasy hair.
	In Charleston, West Virginia in 1965.
	Like my cousin Vinny, right?
	Oh, yeah. I'm telling you.
	I gotta tell you, the people there were so kind.
	Anyway, LBJ, LB Jerkoff, LB Johnson, that gave us the Vietnam War, he was the first one to change the immigration laws.
	To get more people into the country to get jobs.
	Because all the young guys were getting drafted.
	So, then...
	Number two, immigration.
	My book, Trends 2000, international best-selling book.
	I wrote that in 1996.
	The internet revolution begins around 93, 92, 93, 94.
	It's booming.
	The Silicon Valley is becoming a big hot spot.
	They needed labor, and they didn't want to pay the high wages to Americans.
	So that other piece of scum, a murderous bastard, Bill Clinton, invented the H-1B visas.
	That allowed more cheap labor to come in.
	Get them from India.
	Now, here we are now.
	Again, as I always say, when I was a young man, there were things called grocery stores, hardware stores, stationary stores, drug stores.
	Now they're all chains, right?
	All the mom and pops are out of business.
	Go into a CVS and you'll see on the door, help wanted.
	Go to a Lowe's, help wanted.
	Help wanted. Everywhere you go, these big chains, help wanted.
	Help wanted because they pay the people nothing.
	You get a job at these places, you can't have a living.
	They need cheap labor.
	That's why they're letting them in as well.
	You're also letting them in so the clowns in office, and you had that congresswoman from Brooklyn saying it right out loud, that we need more people in here so I could get more votes, basically.
	Yeah, yeah. And even if they don't get more votes, as they were pointing out this last week, they use it for representation.
	So if they've got a lot of illegal aliens living in California, the census counts that, and even if they didn't vote, there would still be more Congress members allocated from California.
	Now let's go back to the war, right?
	You can't stop people from coming into the border.
	You're going to win a war? Who are you talking to?
	Let's everybody get this straight.
	You lost the Vietnam one.
	You lost the Afghan one.
	You lost the Iraq one.
	You destroyed Libya, who is the richest country in Africa.
	And now it's a hellhole.
	Every war you get involved in, you destroy, kill, murder, and you lose.
	And now they're ramping it up against China as well.
	That's going to be another big issue this year.
	It's going to be a major issue.
	Because China is going to take back Taiwan.
	And it's none of my business.
	Only been going on since the Ming Dynasty.
	Only the world organizations say, yeah, Taiwan is not a free nation.
	It's part of China.
	It's none of my business.
	Oh, and how about this guy Lloyd Austin?
	Yeah, he was missing.
	He was AWOL, Austin without leave this last week.
	But doesn't that show that they didn't need him, right?
	He was missing for a week and they didn't need him.
	Well, what do you think about that?
	I'm mentioning him because another arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant guy.
	And I call it to his face.
	This is the arrogant former general who slaughtered people in Iraq and slaughtered people in Afghanistan that comes out against people like me that calls me an isolationist.
	Because I don't want to get involved in foreign entanglements.
	And how we have no right to say that.
	And he talks down to everybody.
	You know why? Because he is a general.
	And the rest of us are nothing but privates.
	Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
	Yes, sir! That's their attitude.
	Yeah. You look at this clown that we got as president.
	Out of his mind, in front of your eyes, he got five draft affirmations.
	He's three years older than me.
	Five draft affirmations.
	Five. Five.
	Look at the wars that he loves.
	Look at the wars that he loves.
	These are the evil people running out.
	And you know what? He says, I'm the commander-in-chief.
	You're just a private.
	I'm the commander-in-chief.
	We're going to attack Yemen.
	And now people have no idea, by the way, of Yemen history.
	That other arrogant little boy, another daddy's boy, Blinken.
	My daddy was ambassador to Hungary.
	My uncle was ambassador to Belgium.
	I went to Dalton. I went to Harvard.
	I'm a member of the club.
	Under the Obama administration, they began the Yemen war in 2014 with Saudi Arabia.
	Lincoln went over to Yemen to give, quote, strategic advice, intelligence.
	The United States was refueling the Saudi planes that were bombing Yemen.
	This is the Nobel piece of crap prize winner Barack Obama.
	Yeah. Yeah, 2014 was a banner year for him, wasn't it?
	You know, the coup in Ukraine and the Yemen war starting, yeah.
	Yep. Then...
	Let's go back to Saudi Arabia.
	They invented a joint in 1933-34.
	The kingdom. You know what the first thing they did?
	They tried to attack Yemen, where the Houthis are.
	They're in the border. First thing they did.
	First thing they did.
	And of course the Houthis beat them.
	So now here we are again.
	And now we have this, South Africa has brought up charges against genocide.
	You know, Blinken said, this is ridiculous.
	It's not genocide. Yes, it is.
	By definition, it is genocide.
	And everybody should listen to that South African lawyer yesterday giving the talk at the court about genocide.
	Clear facts of Israel committing genocide.
	The troops singing, we're going to kill everybody, we're going to take over.
	One clip after another.
	One clip after another, calling these people in the Knesset, calling them animals, the Palestinians, we all have to go.
	It's complete genocide.
	Complete genocide.
	Where is the outrage again from the religions that you were talking about before?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I agree. You know, people look at it and, you know, God did give Israel the land, but he also had it conditional.
	You know, it's going to be evicted if you don't follow me.
	And I look at this and people, they get caught up in their prophetic understanding of how they think this is going to roll out.
	And I say, well, yeah, but, you know, God has given us some really clear directions.
	About pushing for peace and about a justified war.
	And so those are really clear things.
	And I don't think we subjugate those to our perhaps flawed understanding about timings and mechanisms and what you think is going to prophetically happen.
	But that's the problem. That's what's really pacified, I think, so many people in America.
	But there's just so many things coming at us in every direction.
	You know, when we look at this, the internal wars that are happening and the war that they try to keep going on between the Republicans and Democrats as if the occupant of the White House is going to make any difference for any of us.
	Oh, you said it perfectly.
	You had the same crime syndicates in power for how many decades?
	How many hundreds of years?
	Oh, yeah. Since, what's his name?
	Lincoln started the Civil War.
	You know, I can't stand Nikki Haley.
	As a matter of fact, Judge Napolitano calls her Lindsey Graham in high heels.
	I call her Nuki Haley, because she wants to go to war everywhere, but go ahead.
	And Napolitano, and I do a podcast with him every Wednesday.
	You can go to Gerald Salenti on YouTube, and you can see it.
	And he brought up all the facts about emancipation proclamation had nothing to do with freeing the slaves.
	Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. What it had to do was it gave the troops the ability to take the slaves and turn them into...
	to put them into war, to fight.
	They didn't declare...
	He freed up the slavery, abolished slavery, until eight months after Lincoln was dead.
	That's right. He was very careful not to mention the states that were under his control.
	He freed the slaves in the other states.
	But when I talked about it, and of course this would be something I think you'd find interesting, maybe you know about, the fact that Italy had a civil war at exactly the same time, 1861-1865.
	And I see it as part of, and I talked about this after that, I said I see it as part of a fourth turning, part of the industrial revolution, part of the change from an agrarian state to an industrialized state, and part of a consolidation of power from these previously autonomous, more or less autonomous, rural centers of power into a nation state that was going to work With the new industrial powers.
	That was happening in Germany.
	It was happening in Italy.
	It was happening in the United States.
	And they didn't have slavery in those places.
	But it was the same type of thing.
	It still resulted in a war.
	And in Italy, it was exactly the same time.
	You're 100% right.
	What was that group that came out against industrialization?
	What's the name of them? I don't know.
	Maybe the Luddites? Yeah.
	Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, industrialization.
	And now we've gone because it's, again, one of your top trends about the dysfunctional society becoming...
	It's all AI. So we've gone from the industrial revolution into the high-tech revolution.
	Devolution, we call it.
	And it's a devolution of society.
	You know, I love jazz, you know?
	And my favorite, by the way, is...
	Which...
	Again, I'm born in 46, right after the war.
	And I'm the youngest of five.
	So I have brothers and sisters born in the 30s.
	My generation never heard this music, and my brothers and sisters never heard.
	America is at its height right after the war.
	They called it race music.
	Back in the day, there were thousands of radio stations independently owned.
	These guys are singing, and women, they're having the time of their life.
	Remember, they call it the baby boom.
	I'm the first of the baby boomers.
	Yeah, rather than fighting war, they wanted to have, you know, a happy time.
	That's right. Yeah.
	That's right. Music is so uplifting.
	The jazz, the fun.
	And now... It's one bad rap.
	It's America going down in front of your eyes.
	I've got to hear about Taylor Swift.
	Oh, you know, she may get engaged in the spring.
	Top story in CNN today.
	What do I care about this?
	I know. I see it everywhere.
	I go to political sites and everything.
	There's all this news about Taylor Swift all the time.
	Quincy Jones said about rap music, he says, it's just talk.
	It's not music, it's just talk.
	But now what we've got is we've got personalities, and we've got music videos that they do, and we've got the soap operas that are there, but we don't have the music.
	That's the interesting thing. No music, all gone.
	Yeah, when I look around, I see any live music is always done by old dudes, you know, like us.
	They're still playing. Even in rock and roll, you've still got the Rolling Stones going around.
	You've still got the same old rock groups, if they're still alive, they're touring, because they don't have anything new that's coming up.
	Nothing. As I said, before we went on the air, he said, how are you doing?
	I said, I'm not having fun. I'm a city guy, and there's no nightlife anymore.
	Yeah. No nightlife.
	Gone. Finished.
	So no, you know, by the way, I was the number two guy running a major trade association back in the 70s.
	And I put on, after our trade show, we'd have a big dinner for the people that were in the trade show, then we'd have entertainment.
	I put on one in the Atlantic Convention Center with Ella Fitzgerald.
	Wow. Yeah.
	Well, she'll have her Memorex.
	And we went backstage afterwards, and I introduced myself.
	I was married at the time, and she said to my wife, Marianne, at the time she passed away, she said, you remind me of my goddaughter, Carmen.
	I mean, I put on one with her.
	I took over the Superdome and had Dionne Warwick there.
	I remember when music was music.
	And there were bands playing, and now it's just one bad rap, as I said.
	Yeah, it really died, and it was dying even when I was in college.
	It was getting more and more difficult for people to get live gigs and stuff.
	And when I was in college, we did a...
	We did a concert series and we had three trumpet players come in, all different styles.
	We had Dizzy Gillespie was one of them that was bent up.
	And we had Maynard Ferguson was another one who came in.
	What an amazing guy.
	And the third one was Don Ellis.
	I don't know if you know him, but he was in all kinds of weird meters and everything.
	These guys had come from Eastern Europe and they were in 11, 12 time and all this other kind of stuff.
	So yeah, it was real interesting times.
	And used to make a lot of money doing that stuff as well, but it just died.
	It died very rapidly, and we could see it was dying.
	And it's sad, because you can see that same type of death in so many institutional areas and cultural areas that are happening right now.
	It's just this downward projection, and I don't think it's going to really change until we get to the other side of this fourth turning.
	And maybe even then it won't, because if they've got the kinds of tools and mechanisms and people don't rise up and stand up for their freedom.
	Just even talk about cash and what is happening with CBDC.
	How do you see this rolling out?
	Is this going to be another thing they're going to roll out on us with the war and the crisis?
	Is that going to roll out pretty quickly?
	Absolutely. Well,
	first of all, Katherine Austin Fitz is terrific.
	Yeah, she is. And she's here in Tennessee.
	She's going to be doing, you know, financial transactional freedom tour around Tennessee trying to get things going here in the state.
	I highly admire her.
	Yeah. Oh, no, go back to your Trends Journal about four years ago.
	From dirty cash to digital trash.
	Mm-hmm. They want to know every penny you spent, where you spent it, what you spent it on, so these little clown politicians who never work a day in their life can keep getting tax money.
	End of story. End of story.
	And if we know that, you know, the things that we do, what do we do now that we know that?
	Because, you know, a lot of people don't watch you, don't watch me, don't know that.
	But those of us that do know it, what's the best thing that we can do with that?
	For me, I don't give financial advice.
	I'm not permitted to. Mm-hmm.
	Speaking only for myself, besides guns, gold, and a getaway plan, GCs, 3Gs, gold, silver, Bitcoin, are the three things that I see.
	And I totally agree with her about the cash.
	And here's the way I see it happening.
	Again, they're ramping up the war, right?
	Yeah. You're going to hear one day something like, the Russians hacked our banking system.
	They stole our money, but don't worry, you're going to get it back.
	We're coming back with a digital currency.
	They're going to make something up.
	Yeah. Yeah, I agree.
	So that is the way I see it.
	They're definitely going to do it.
	They're all going to do it.
	And the young people, they're digitized to death to begin with.
	So it's perfect for them.
	They don't care. Yeah.
	Matter of fact, go to a place called India.
	Poor country. Everything people buy with the phone, with the phone, with the phone, with the phone.
	They're hardly using... Yeah, and they bribed them into that.
	It was Bill Gates went there and helped them put in their Adhar system.
	And for the really poor people, it's like, you take the digital number, you take the Adhar number, and we'll give you welfare, we'll give you free health care, and all the rest of the stuff.
	And that's the key thing, I think.
	You know, once this shock to the system...
	Where they bring economic hardship, even in wealthier countries like America, that will be how they will bribe you into that system.
	You come into that system, and you take the number, you get into the system, and we'll take care of you.
	It'll be the kind of universal basic, and that's why it annoyed me so much when Trump did the lockdowns and the stimulus checks.
	I said, this is training for universal basic income and CBDC. Well, yes and no, I would say.
	I don't think they have a plan for it.
	What they did is they want to keep the rich rich, and they have to keep the stock markets up.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Everything should have crashed when they locked down it.
	So what happened?
	They gave zero interest rate policy, dumped in countless trillions of dollars.
	The equity markets skyrocketed.
	And merger and acquisition activity hit an all-time home.
	So the bigs bought, every week in the Trends Journal, we have bigs getting bigger section.
	All the takeovers.
	Every week. Every week, every week, every week.
	2021 was a record year.
	Record year of takeovers.
	And to me, I think that's a big signal of somebody who's not on our side in the same way that you had the massive merger of banks kicked off under Clinton.
	As you point out, the tax quote-unquote reform that Trump did, it made these corporations unbelievable.
	You know, all the money flowed to them.
	And then again, when he does the lockdown.
	It's all the, you know, the Wall Street is essential and we're going to give them the money just like the bailout of the banks that were too big to fail.
	You know, Wall Street companies and the big box retailers are too big.
	Yeah, that's all it's about. That's all it's about.
	Yeah, it shows who they're working for.
	Again, from a guy that's been in the system, it's not like they have a great plan.
	When something happens, then they make the plan around it.
	That's what I see most of the time.
	It's not like, okay, this is our plan from start to finish.
	It doesn't go that far.
	They're not that bright. All they're interested in about is now.
	How do we take advantage of now?
	As I see it.
	Yeah. And that's what they did.
	Same thing you mentioned about, let's go back to the, you mentioned about the banks.
	Go back to the Panic of 08, a domain name I took out in 2007, forecasting it.
	The Federal Reserve's dumped in $29 trillion to bail out the banks.
	According to the Levy Institute at Bard College, not my number.
	So what I'm saying is, when the situation happens, that's what they do.
	And you talked about what Trump did with his tax cuts.
	The BS that he sold the people, first of all, according to the tax policy centers, it was 64%.
	The 1% got 64% of all the tax benefits.
	And Trump's BS line was that by lowering the taxes of the corporations, they're going to put this money back into capital improvements.
	No, they didn't.
	I just can't wake people up.
	It's just amazing. But, yeah, go ahead.
	But it's always been like that.
	Yeah, I know. Again, I'm a Yankee doodle dandy, a Yankee doodle do or die.
	Yeah. I mean, look at how stupid that we're going over there to fight for democracy.
	Is that World War I? Yeah.
	Yeah. My father, may I rest in peace, when I started learning about stuff, I got upset.
	He said, son, take it easy.
	He said, people have little minds.
	Mm-hmm. Yeah.
	Look, people don't know what's going on.
	They have their lives, their kids, their fights, their families, their jobs, this and that.
	They're not studying every day and seeing what's going on.
	And all they do is, if they do listen, they hear the prostitute BS coming out.
	And that's all they repeat.
	They don't know about the facts.
	Yeah, yeah. They regurgitate that.
	One of the things that you were spot on in terms of predicting was the commercial real estate crash based on the lockdown.
	Is this about ready to really blow up this next year?
	It's one of our top trends for 2024.
	And what it is, is banks go bust.
	Hmm. Yeah.
	Nobody's talking about this.
	That's right. Last year, our top trend was office building bust, which we called, by the way, when the lockdowns began.
	Yeah. We said this is going to admit that it's finally happening, which they finally did.
	So, again, you go pick up the news, you know, and they'll say, is this one of them here?
	No. It was a front page story in the Wall Street Journal about the office vacancy rate.
	It's at almost 20%.
	20% of the offices all over America vacant.
	Nobody in them. Not one mention in this whole long article about all the Office building owners, they're going to be defaulting on their loans.
	And the implications it's going to have on the banks.
	And by the way, the ones that hold most of the loans on the office buildings are medium-sized banks, not the big ones.
	That means they're going to go bust and the bigs are going to get bigger.
	Yeah, they'll be brought in and given special deals for stability purposes.
	Like they did with the J.P. Morgan crime syndicate.
	Oh, I call it a crime syndicate because they've been convicted and admitted to five felonies.
	Five! Five!
	Hey, I'm Jamie Dimon!
	Hey! I don't go to jail!
	How much money you want because we got caught?
	Oh, how about $900 million for rigging the precious metals market?
	Yeah. Yeah.
	Rig the precious metals market.
	Precious metals should be through the roof.
	They want to keep it down because that shows how bad things are as we're talking.
	Yeah. How much did gold go up today as we're talking?
	Almost about 40 bucks.
	Really? Yeah.
	Wow. Because what's going on with the United States and the UK, you got to put an F and a C in that UK because that's all they are, attacking Yemen.
	We are in World War III. It has begun.
	There's going to be a false flag event that's going to make it, quote, official, like 9-11.
	War on terror began.
	Three things changed my life as a young guy after the Vietnam War.
	Fauci's war on AIDS, the AIDS scare.
	The only people dying of AIDS were gays and people wiped out on drugs.
	And the reason the gays were dying, not my language, this is a fact, is that when sperm goes into the bloodstream, That's the beginning of the end.
	And because of the kind of sex they were having, that's what happened.
	These are facts. And people wiped out on drugs, of course their system is down.
	This is the same Fauci that gave us the COVID war.
	And he used the PCR thing to create the so-called HIV virus stuff and all the rest of this.
	That's right. And they waited until, and Kerry Mullis, I always get confused if it's Mullin or Mullis, but he posed them on it, the guy who created the PCR test, and he died a couple months before they pulled off this COVID thing.
	That's right. Because he would have been a real thorn in their side.
	So they either waited for that or they caused that to happen.
	I don't know which one it was.
	So it was the AIDS scare, 9-11, and the COVID war.
	Those three things changed America in so many different ways.
	And the...
	9-11, I used to do gigs for all over the world, you know, corporations, trade associations hiring me to give trend forecasts for their businesses and industries.
	I hated to travel by 2012.
	It was no more fun.
	It was fun when I began.
	You know, I started flying first class in 1974.
	I remember going from Chicago to Las Vegas, and they rolled down a roast in first class.
	Would you like a roast or lobster Thermidor?
	Yeah. And I'd give you a glass of wine and a plastic cup in a little crappy first class.
	And they strip-search you on the way in and get your facial ID for their biometric database and all the rest of this stuff.
	And I refused to go through those electronic things.
	Yeah. You know, so they feel you up, you know.
	Yeah. Well, and I do it because I just want to be a monkey wrench in the machinery.
	So it's like, no, stop everything and come over here and feel me up, you know, because I won't play along with this.
	No. Yeah. No, you're getting radiation going into you.
	Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
	I mean, you know. So anyway, now...
	It's war, war, war, war.
	That's all they are. Here, I want to read this to you.
	This is George Washington's farewell address.
	Part of it. It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.
	Observe good faith and justice toward all nations.
	Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
	You ready? The nation which indulges toward another in habitual hatred, as we do with Russia all my life, or in habitual fondness, as we're doing with Ukraine and Israel, is in some degree a slave.
	He's absolutely right.
	Right there.
	And you got a clown boy, a little arrogant general, Austin here, Lloyd Austin, whose last job was sitting on the board of directors of 18 on the second largest defense contractor in America, telling me that I have no right to say America shouldn't get involved in foreign intangibles.
	Yeah, yeah. Screw you, George Washington!
	Oh, you mean the Washington that really fought?
	Were you out there fighting in the front lines, Lloyd Austin?
	No, I was giving command by Commander.
	Yeah, that's true. What do you think in terms of, there's so much talk about civil war, of course.
	You know, we can see what's happening with the World War.
	See the aggression with Ukraine persisting, what's going on in the Middle East, what's going on with China and Taiwan.
	Do you think that we're going to have a civil war at the same time?
	Is that what they're trying to do with the chaos and the borders?
	I mean, they've got thousands of people coming in just from China, but they're coming in from every other country.
	We have seen what has happened in China.
	That Italian island, for example, I forget the name of it.
	They had 6,000 people on the island.
	And within just a few months, they brought in 18,000 other people.
	How do you, you know, you swap an island like that with people.
	Nobody can have a decent standard of living.
	It seems like they want to bring in people to create division, chaos, unrest on the inside.
	At the same time, we've got this going on the outside.
	To me, it looks like, you know, the old metaphor of the fifth column.
	Where, you know, the Spanish Civil War, they said, well, you got four columns in that are attacking the city.
	But the guy said, but the real ace in the hole is the fifth column.
	The people who are already in the city who are on our side.
	Do you think there's an element of that?
	Are they rolling this out to have both a civil war as well as a world war at the same time?
	Because they keep talking about civil war.
	No, I really don't.
	They just can't handle it.
	I want to go back to that, but before I forget, I talked about the banking bust.
	Yeah. We're telling people, you better be prepared for this.
	Because when the banks go bust, look what happened last March when Silicon Valley Bank went bust.
	And then First Republic went bust.
	Look what it did to the equity markets and look what it did to the scare.
	Yeah. The panic of 08 became real when Lehman Brothers went bust.
	The crisis that's going on, because this is all related to, by the way, the migrant crisis.
	All things are connected, as Chief Seattle said, like the blood which denies us all.
	There's poverty all around the world.
	People are escaping lack of basic living standards, government corruption, crime and violence.
	They're getting that. This was happening before the COVID war, which made it a lot worse.
	So now let's go back to the banking bust.
	When this goes down, the reality of how bad the economy that was artificially propped up, as we were talking before, with the COVID war, with the zero interest rate policy and countless trillions pumped into it, and was in the United States debt level about $34 trillion, you're not going to pay this off. That goes back to CBDC, central bank digital currencies too, because we're going to do away with the old currency coming out with a new one, forget about the debt, they'll make up something.
	So going back, I'm just warning people that you better consider preparing for the worst.
	Because there's going to be the banking crisis that's going to bring the reality to the streets.
	People know how bad it is, but because they make it look okay, people don't realize how bad it is.
	Like the crash of 29.
	People were doing terrible when the markets crashed and the Great Depression, quote, became official.
	So that's going to happen.
	Now, going back to the migrant crisis.
	Well, let me ask you, before we go back to the migrant crisis, so preparing for it to happen, you know, in terms of you're looking at bank failures and other things like that, is part of that what you see people having their money locked away, evaporated, because it's in these institutions?
	Anything can happen. Anything can happen.
	Here, I'm President Franklin Roosevelt.
	Turn in your gold.
	You don't turn it in.
	You're committing a crime.
	And you turn it in for what?
	$26 an ounce?
	And as soon as we get it all, we raise the price to what?
	$32, $34 an ounce?
	Right? That's right. Yeah.
	You know, again, my father, may he rest in peace, I'll never forget it.
	I'm a kid. He told me, you know, he said, you know, son, he said, I remember your grandfather.
	I walk over to the house one day, and he's packing up all the gold.
	I said, Pop, what are you doing with this?
	He said, the president wants it back, and I'm giving it back to them.
	My father said, what are you out of your mind?
	He said, oh, how dare you say that?
	My grandfather turned it all in.
	He believed it. Wow.
	So they'll do the same thing.
	They're going to force something on us.
	They'll create anything that they want.
	Look again. Look how they take us.
	They're just... The commander-in-chief just...
	Did, in violation of the Constitution, without the approval of Congress, just attack?
	Yep. They'll do anything that they want!
	And the masses will fight back!
	Is that why you think, you know, because today people are not going to naively pack up our gold and hand it in.
	Is that why they're creating this army of IRS agents?
	Absolutely! Five and a half times bigger.
	Of course, you know that... Yesterday, he said he got all these conservative people trying to cheer on the Republican Party and the Speaker and say, look at this, he saved us $20 billion.
	And it's like, drastic, massive cuts to the Biden budget and everything.
	It's like, okay, you got an agency that's $13 billion, he's going to give them another $60 instead of another $80, and you call that a win.
	And that's some change.
	Yeah, yeah. What did we send already?
	About $160 billion to Ukraine to fight the war?
	Yeah. How much did we send to Israel?
	About a half a trillion dollars since they began the country.
	Every year we're sending them $3.8 billion.
	We just send them what? How many billions of dollars worth of weapons to keep slaughtering them?
	This is some change. Oh, by the way, as our infrastructure is rotting in front of us.
	Yeah, yeah. Riding in front of us.
	And being dismantled, you know, going through and taking the power plants at work and putting on renewables that are extremely expensive and unreliable.
	You know, they're pushing everything on the grid as they make it more and more fragile.
	So, I'm sorry, what are some of your other trends?
	You want to get back to this?
	Well, that goes back to that one.
	One of them is EVFU. And, again, these top trends came out on January 2nd.
	What was announced yesterday by Hertz?
	Yeah, 20,000.
	Get rid of them. Yep.
	So we said this was going to happen.
	Yeah. And again, going back to another guy by the name of Dwight D. Eisenhower, his farewell address, warning the American people that the military-industrial complex is robbing the nation of the genius of the scientists, the sweat of the labors, and the future of the children.
	Let's go back to the genius of the scientists.
	Okay. The hundreds of trillions of dollars we spent since the end of World War II for the military-industrial complex.
	Could you imagine if a trillion, one trillion, went into research and development of a new alternative energy?
	Yeah. Yeah.
	Yeah, it's amazing. They control all of the research, and then they direct it to everything that is harmful.
	Nothing that is beneficial to us.
	Nothing. Just an explosion in technology funded by them, all of it for evil purposes.
	Yep. And again, when you talk about Amtrak, you know, I was invited to JFK's Down in Philadelphia when he, RFK Jr., when he said he was going to run as an independent.
	They invited me down there.
	So I took Amtrak down.
	What a joke.
	What a joke. High-speed rails all over the world.
	And we got this crap train.
	Amcrap. Not Amtrak.
	Amcrap. And again...
	The roads, potholes, everywhere you go.
	And I don't support RFK Jr.
	anymore. He came out, that guy Ackman, the billionaire that told Harvard the woman they fired her, they called her an anti-Semite.
	He came out in support of him, calls the Palestinians...
	Not the proper language, but to the effect that they're the most spoiled people on Earth.
	And he totally supports the genocide going on.
	So I no longer support him.
	And I had Dennis Kucinich, his former campaign manager, as one of my speakers at my Occupy Peace rally.
	And now Kucinich is no longer there.
	And who's RFK Jr.'s new campaign manager?
	His daughter-in-law?
	What was her last job?
	CIA, yeah. Yeah.
	Interesting. His uncle, JFK, must be rolling in his grave.
	Yeah. Because JFK was against the CIA. Yeah.
	I spoke with Kennedy.
	You know, we were talking.
	Now he's going to bring on Tulsi Gabbard.
	That's the next thing.
	And she's pro-Israel, too.
	And also been connected with Davos.
	I don't know just how close her Davos connection was, but yeah, many people point that out as well.
	Yep. So we're almost out of time.
	We've got about 30 seconds. And again, I want to tell people, if you go to TrendsJournal.com, you can subscribe to the excellent Trends Journal weekly publication.
