Other things like this. Another response is to say that, well, I think Saudi Arabia is trying to sabotage Biden.
That's actually articles written by the mainstream media put at the top of drudge with all the rest of this stuff happening.
You think that the price of oil going up might have something to do with the impending expansion of war in the Middle East?
As Secretary of State Blinken says that he wants to give NATO membership to Ukraine.
We're going to be talking about that later in the program when Gerald Salenti joins us.
I want to begin with the news and talking about bird flu.
Wars and actually the first thing will be earthquakes.
Earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars.
It's getting biblical, isn't it?
We'll be right back. There's a couple of things that we can learn from what happened in Taiwan.
Of course, it is in the Ring of Fire.
They have a lot of earthquakes.
They have very big earthquakes.
This is a big earthquake, 7.4 magnitude.
And we're just talking to some friends who just got back.
From Taiwan, visiting family, they said they stayed in the hotel.
It was right across the street from that building that's now leaning at about 30 degrees off of vertical toward that building.
It hasn't collapsed yet, which is another interesting thing when we look at that.
And, of course, if you look at the earthquake video footage here, A whole lot of shaking going on there on that bridge, as well as some video inside restaurants happening.
But here's a restaurant that is shaking the bottles off of the wall.
Pretty amazing.
I've never been in an earthquake, but not interested in being in one either.
But... I told Karen, I said, when I saw that picture of that building leaning, I said, whoa, we got several of those around here in Pigeon Forge.
We got a building that's upside down.
Got another one that's leaning. I mean, we've even got the Titanic here.
But this is not a tourist attraction.
And fortunately, they did not have as much damage as could have been.
Because the buildings there are built to a very high standard, and that's the thing that I think is interesting about how they protected one of these skyscrapers.
But before we do that, this is put up by Richard Gage, and he says, okay, so here's this leaning building that I was talking about.
He says, isn't it interesting when you look at this?
Here's a local structure failure.
It lost its foundation in its leaning, but it didn't collapse.
Now, here's another building, Building 7, which wasn't hit by planes.
Just going straight down, he said, every structural column failed simultaneously.
He says, what could cause that?
Well, we have a lot of different ideas about what could cause it, but I think we all know who caused it.
Regardless of the what or how.
I think we all know who caused it.
I think we all know who sold us lies about that.
That's one of the things to remember whenever we look at these buildings.
I mean, just look at this again.
This is the building here.
Massive earthquake took out the foundation.
This thing is sunk down and is leaning.
And I guess maybe about a 30 degree angle there.
And yet it did not just collapse.
And you can see those other explosions blowing out the side as it's going down.
Whatever happened? I can't imagine.
But they have something that is very different there in one of these buildings.
The tallest building in Taiwan.
And for a while it was the world's tallest skyscraper.
It's Taipei 101.
And it has 101 floors.
And it's got a giant yellow pendulum at the center.
And what it does is it moves back and forth to kind of absorb the shock during an earthquake or a typhoon.
I've had a very damaging typhoon spawning tornadoes just a few years ago, and it...
It weathered that storm, so to speak.
By the way, we will be talking about the weather, and we'll be talking about the eclipse.
Thanks. Stay with us. Pretty amazing.
Anyway, they said it can absorb the force of any violent swinging, according to the Taipei 101 website.
The damper engineers say that it can contain the building's movements by up to 40%.
And so they had closed-circuit TV footage of what was happening with this Taiwan ball, and it's moving back and forth in response to the building being moving back and forth and damping that, again, by up to 40%.
It was the world's tallest building when completed in 2004.
It held that title for five years, 2009.
101 stories, a height of 1,667 feet, including the spire.
It's got a number of other design features that increase its resilience to natural disasters, including 380 piles driven deep into the ground.
The deepest is rammed some 30 meters, about 100 feet, into bedrock, which, according to Taipei 101, is similar to nailing the entire building onto a solid tectonic plate.
Power is supplied to the building via two substations, reducing the risk of an outage.
So, you know, just like that other building, the Twin Towers, it's kind of built like a tank, isn't it?
But, you know, they could pull it down if they wanted to with a planned demolition, I think.
And it is kind of interesting to look at this swinging pendulum here.
In the College of Engineering where I went, they had a giant focou pendulum.
I used to call it focoult, but, you know, the French like to throw consonants on the end of words just so they can laugh at it, right?
But it's focou, I think.
But it was really interesting because this thing was a big metal ball and...
That was swinging across, and you could see the earth moving underneath it based on what they had drawn on the floor there.
So, that cyclone was in 2015.
That ball is 730 tons.
And that was a 7.5 magnitude earthquake.
And so back here in America, we've got a Baltimore bridge that's going to be built for a few decades, and who knows how much it's going to cost or if they'll even build it.
And one of the big holdups of this thing, of course, is going to be the EPA and environmental regulations.
Folks, if we don't get rid of the EPA, it will destroy us.
Just as Cato the Younger said, Carthage must be destroyed.
The EPA must be destroyed.
The EPA must be destroyed or it will destroy America.
It's working on it very, very hard and very quickly and it's accelerating.
It has invaded us, just like Hannibal.
And it is cannibalizing us, just like Hannibal Lecter.
But the Baltimore Bridge, it's going to be tied up for years of environmental stuff, unless they wave this away.
Oh, they won't do that.
A years-long quagmire of environmental red tape under the Biden administration.
You know, you go back and look at the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, as I said, a very comparable situation.
The bridge knocks it out at the point...
Where it was going up and over, and it took them seven years to do it.
Three of those years were planning and approval.
I don't know how much of that was environmental regulation.
That was 1980.
And, of course, the EPA was, I forget, was it 73 or something?
71 or something? Anyway, you know, the EPA was not even a decade old yet, so it really hadn't got its strength.
In terms of its regulation and its web of rules and all the rest of the stuff to strangle our society.
And yet even then, three years to approve it.
I looked at that thought. First thing, I didn't even think about the environmental regulations for some reason.
It's just so alien to me.
So they couldn't figure out where they wanted to put it.
We already had a bridge there.
You're going to make it in parallel to the bridge.
What's to think about it for three years?
But it probably was tied up with environmental red tape that entire time.
And so this is what it's...
It only took it four years to build it, but it took three years to go through the approval process.
And then we look at California.
I talked about the new minimum wage law that came in, but only for fast food restaurant chains of 60 or more stores.
And again, that doesn't mean that the franchisee has 60 or more stores.
That just means something like McDonald's, where, you know, the...
McDonald's owns stores.
Franchisees own stores. Most of them, I don't think, own 60 stores.
I could be wrong, but nevertheless, it just focused on those stores.
Raised the minimum wage by 25%, and so the knock-on effect is already being seen.
You're seeing prices going up at many restaurants.
Some of them, the prices jumped between Friday and Monday when it took effect.
Others, they said they've been raising the prices gradually for the last few months to try to stop that sticker shock from people.
And then there's other people who are laying, some restaurants are dealing with it by laying people off.
And they're all looking at new technology to replace the workers.
And as one person said, there's going to be a lot of robots and fewer people working beside those robots.
And I said, that is the issue.
That is the issue.
Newsom is doing this, and of course, he is part owner of a gourmet restaurant.
And they have Help Wanted ads out.
And this expensive, elitist gourmet restaurant is going to pay their people less than the people that are working at a fast food restaurant.
Isn't that typical?
They're going to stay with the $16 an hour.
And this is Newsom's own gourmet restaurant.
And of course, his pal...
At Panera Bread, the CEO of Panera Bread, who has helped him so much, given him so many political donations, they were exempted as well.
They put in a special writer there, exempting restaurant chains that bake bread and sell it there at the restaurant.
Oh, that's nice.
And so you get what you pay for, don't you, when you buy politicians at the top level.
We don't have that kind of money to get Trump or Biden or any of these people to do what we want, but there are people who have that kind of money and then get exactly what they ordered on the menu.
I mean, it's like you pick a politician and you pay for them and They serve you the goods and services that belong to the rest of us.
And so he has a situation where at his very expensive restaurant, they are not going to have to raise their minimum wage.
They'll just keep those profits there.
And I thought about Jeff Bezos, who, there's an island in Florida where they've got, they call it, you know, the billionaire island, and these people are just, you know, one house after the other is more expensive than the other.
He just bought his third mansion there for $90 million.
I mean, you know, he could buy 10,000 of those before he ran out of money.
He's got so much money.
And so, when you look at that, and this is a guy, again, why do you need that much money?
You know, stop and think about it, most of these billionaires in their 70s, 80s, normal lifespan, assuming that they can't extend it by some kind of vampire technology or something, which isn't going to work for them.
God sees that and he's going to laugh at it.
But anyway, assuming that maybe they've got 10 or 20 years left.
What if they spend $100 million a year?
Another 10 years, they've spent $1 billion.
These are people who have a couple of hundred billion dollars, like Bezos.
So, you know, spend $100 million a year and no problem.
He's never going to run out of money.
So what do you do when you've got all that excess wealth?
Well, you buy a third mansion, the most expensive one on the island, because you've got to impress your billionaire neighbors.
Same thing that Trump is doing.
That's what he did with Mar-a-Lago.
And he and Jeffrey Epstein were closest of friends.
I mean, you know, they were like Martin and Lewis, straight man and a comedian.
So the comedian, I guess, being Trump.
But they were inseparable.
You didn't see them every time you saw them.
They were together. They were partying together.
And, you know, they're hanging around Victoria's Secret or beauty contests or whatever.
And then they had a fight over who was going to get that next mansion.
They both already had a mansion there in Palm Beach, but that next mansion, you know, that's a really, everybody's going to be very impressed if I own that one.
And so they got in a big fight over that.
That was how they parted company.
It wasn't over the, you know, trafficking of young girls or anything.
It was over who's going to get that next mansion.
It's absolutely amazing what the love of money will do to people, isn't it?
They can never have enough.
So Rockefeller said, you know, the reporter asked, how much money is enough?
You're the richest man in the world. Well, just a little more.
It's an addiction, isn't it?
And so you got Jeff Bezos out there buying his third mansion on this billionaire island, $90 million.
And at the same time, how did he get that kind of money?
Well, he had people working on his assembly line, and he was pressuring them so hard they had no time to even go to the bathroom, and they had to pee into bottles that they brought at their workstation.
And so you've got Gavin Newsom.
I'm only going to pay my guys $16 an hour.
It's the fast food chains that were going to force them to go up 25% more.
So certainly he is feathering his nest, and certainly there is a double standard of cronyism and all the rest of it.
But I think the real cronyism is what he's doing for Silicon Valley.
Because already the fast food restaurants are flirting with robots and AI for orders and preparing the food with a limited menu and all this other kind of stuff.
And so it'll be an opportunity for these, you know, it's going to prod these national fast food chains.
Into investing in AI and robots.
Because they've got the capital to do it.
They have the number of restaurants to do it.
I think that's what this is really about.
I think it's really going to accelerate.
And so, yeah, it is elitism.
It is cronyism.
I think the cronyism is really in Silicon Valley even more so than for Newsom's health.
But he'll always dip into it as well.
In Scotland, after they put in this new hate speech law, a former police officer there who is a leadership position said that they have had nearly 4,000 complaints.
Everybody snitching on everybody else.
The Scotland Stasi.
Over tranny stuff.
Under new legislation, anybody deemed to have been verbally abusive in person or online to a transgendered person.
You've got to protect these 2 plus 2 equals 5 people.
That's the tip of the spear.
Including insulting them could be hit with a prison sentence of up to 7 years.
And so J.K. Rowling did it herself and found out, well, this is just for the little people.
We're not going to bother you.
Although it was announced yesterday by police that she will not be investigated, she will probably be on their reporting list.
The guy who gave the figure of almost 4,000 cases, actually it was 3,800 cases, was the former General Secretary of the Scottish Police Federation.
Authorities are now being swamped with vexious complaints, exactly as the legislation's critics predicted.
This is going to be a major focus of the organization, not so much the crime that is actually harming people.
And certainly not the crime that is being committed by some of these lunatic Norman Bates trannies.
That's really what we're talking about here.
And quite frankly, you know, just like J.K. Rowling, I don't care.
I mean, I don't have the kind of immunity she does.
I'm not in that same visibility.
But I really don't care.
I'm not going to play with these speech rules.
But if you want to resist this, make sure you understand it's at your own risk.
We're going to take a quick break.
we come back we're going to take a look at the bird flu pandemic.
looking for better information APS radio news dot com features articles and commentary along with audio from all the top news from around the world APS radio news dot com everybody said about the bird
and everything. Well the bird is a word.
Bird flu outbreak.
It's everywhere in mainstream media.
They are having a field day with us.
And, uh...
Largest egg producer in the U.S. has temporarily halted production.
Cal Maine has killed 1.6 million laying hens and 337,000 pullets, the young ones, before they start laying.
As astronomical as that is, we're talking about the top U.S. egg supplier.
They're in Texas as well, by the way.
But killing about 2 million birds is only 3.5% of their total flock.
Isn't that astounding that they have that much?
And isn't it astounding that our food supply is so consolidated and monopolized?
I mean, when you talk about the vulnerability of our infrastructure, it truly is amazing.
And, you know, how just a few places, you know, we've only a handful of processing plants for meat.
We have these gigantic concentrated resources where they work with pork or they work with eggs and this type of thing.
It is amazing how vulnerable consolidation, monopolization, and distributed infrastructure is even for the stuff that we produce here in America.
We certainly are vulnerable for all the stuff that comes from China and so much of that stuff is key to maintaining our infrastructure.
But when you look at just the concentration of food production, it is astounding.
One of the reasons why Jack Lawson, the first time I talked to him, we were talking about that very thing.
You know, the just-in-time delivery, the concentration of resources in terms of production, especially food.
And so, when you look at this bird flu thing, what are they really angling at?
What is the end game with this?
Are they really going to try to bring back all the masks and all the rest of the stuff?
Well, maybe. If not with this, with something else, they will try it.
I think it may be a bit early for them to do it after people have looked at the absurdity of what they did, and they're going to have to come up with something scarier.
But I think there's also something else that they're after.
I think they're concerned and they want to maintain this control, this monopolization of our food supply.
And we'll talk about how they're going to do it.
But first of all, Bloomberg said this is the biggest bird flu casually since December when 2.6 million birds were culled at a commercial egg farm in Ohio.
So this is, you know, just under 2 million.
They'd had 2.6 killed in December.
In a mid-March note, Zero Hedge pointed out that grade A egg prices at the supermarket were already soaring again.
It's almost like they do this on an annual basis, isn't it?
Reports of the virus is also spreading into dairy cattle herds.
And infected Texas dairy cattle are experiencing decreased lactation and low appetite.
With older cows more likely to be severely impacted.
Well, of course, older cows are going to have less lactation and they're going to have less appetite.
This is like the way they solved the COVID thing.
They said most animals seem to recover.
In as many as two weeks.
You mean kind of like the flu?
And then you label it as COVID? They seem to recover in as many as two weeks if they have care.
Oh, but if we put them on ventilators, if we give them rindez of air, if we put do not resuscitate on their horns, well, they don't make it then, right?
And that was what was happening in 2020 with people.
But they said that it still might reduce their milk production levels.
Well, that's one thing that COVID did not do, and they didn't claim.
They didn't claim that COVID was reducing our lactation levels.
There were a lot of suckers, weren't there?
I don't know if they're getting any lactation, but we had suckers everywhere in America hanging on every word of Fauci and Trump.
The U.S. food supply chains face yet another challenge as mysterious fires have hit food processing plants in recent years.
Additionally, billionaire activists and the world economic cult Calling for a reset of the global food supply.
And, yeah, that is all part of it.
But that's still not it completely.
You know, the media is there, as I showed you as I was playing Bird, Bird, Bird, the Surfing Bird song.
All of the media reports, there are plenty of them to choose from.
All stoking fear of pandemic, of the next pandemic.
So, the company claims there's no known avian flu risk with the current supply of eggs at the store.
No eggs have been recalled as of yet.
But be afraid. Be very afraid.
As a matter of fact, when they talk about milk and they talk about eggs and they talk about meat and all the rest of the stuff, you know, if you cook it, and pasteurization is cooking the milk, you cook it, you're not going to get sick.
So they're not recalling the food yet.
But of course, you know, that is something that you could scare people with.
Oh, we've got to recall the food as well.
I mean, they were telling people you can't touch the gasoline pump if somebody else has just been there.
Crazy stuff.
This is one of the viruses that likes to change and mutate, said a Johns Hopkins quote-unquote scientist.
Johns Hopkins, always at the center of these germ games, always at the center of these lies, and they're there right now, telling CBS in an interview, Oh, this could be bad.
This could be really... You know, it mutates and it changes.
It loves to do that.
That's what I said. It likes to change.
And we know that it has the potential to cause a pandemic.
And then you have a molecular epidemiologist talking to the New York Times and scaring people.
Although the risks are purportedly still low, you have Fox News.
And you spell that P-H-O-X so that it looks like the pharmaceutical people that they shill for all the time.
Ah, wasn't it amazing?
You know, when I see Tucker Carlson and that guy sitting there, you know, Tucker, those Ask Your Doctor ads that paid for your $25 million a year salary.
That was not to try to convince people to really ask their doctor.
That was just a payoff from big pharma companies to get Fox and CNN and MSNBC and all of you guys who were brought to us by Pfizer just to get you guys to not talk about the pharmaceutical stuff.
Don't report on this.
We're your biggest sponsor.
And, you know, you don't want to crap where you live there, right?
And Tucker was like, whoa, no, really?
It's like, could he be that naive?
I don't think he is.
I've met Tucker. I've met Sean Hannity.
They were very nice guys in person.
Really super nice guys, but I wouldn't believe a word they say.
I would not believe a word they say.
If he is that stupid, that gullible, that he didn't know that was the purpose of the Ask Your Doctor commercials, do you trust his judgment on anything?
So, the question is, do you trust his judgment?
Do you trust his integrity? One or both of those are obviously been compromised.
Oh, yeah. So, Fox News is suggesting...
That mitigation strategies, quote-unquote, could include receiving the annual flu vaccine for those who qualify and not going out among other people while feeling ill.
CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox, all of them are selling this stuff.
That's why they're showing these recycled pictures of 2020 as well.
So we got this flu vaccine that we've been trying to sell people for decades.
See, there were two things that made me absolutely certain about this from the get-go.
And that was the way they conducted their annual flu campaign.
And all the people I worked with in Infowars knew that.
We'd all reported on that.
What a fraud it is.
And that was one aspect of it.
Not everybody there had reported about Dark Winter, but most of them knew about it.
And the fact they'd practiced doing exactly this, locking everybody down until they get a vaccine out there.
I had not at that point in time seen the Fauci clip that I've played so many times in October before they rolled this stuff out.
Fauci goes to the Milken Institute and he says, the guy asked him, how do we get everybody to take the flu vaccine?
Because that's what they'd spent decades trying to do, get everybody to take the flu vaccine.
I said, well, we do it from the inside with disruption, and we do it iteratively.
How do we get them to take a new flu shot?
Everybody in the world that hasn't been tested, and he knew exactly how they were going to do it.
And so did we. We knew what they were going to pull with Dark Winter, and we knew what they'd been doing with the flu vaccine, and here they are, playing that again.
Fox News, CBS, all of them.
CDC Director Cohen claimed that unlike COVID, bird flu is not novel, and they've been long preparing for potential bird flu outbreak, which includes deployment of vaccines.
So, you know, we've already got the vaccines for bird flu.
But you just said that it constantly loves to change and mutate.
So, do you have the vaccine for this particular strain, you said, based on your vaccine theory?
It's not even consistent.
Based on their germ theory, based on their virus theory, based on their vaccine theory, this doesn't add up.
It just doesn't.
It's a lie.
CDC is lying yet again.
As we've learned all through COVID, says the CDC's Cohen, these viruses change very quickly, so we're going to need to watch it closely.
And we have to sequence these, and we have to stay ahead of it.
You know, where was the sequence for COVID? Do we ever see that?
No, they never had it. Many people asked them for it, and they always gave them the dodge.
So the EU is now warning of a potential to spread to humans due to, quote, a lack of immune defense.
So you're going to have to have that vaccine.
You've got no immune system.
That may be true of the people who have had their killer T-cells destroyed by the Trump shot.
But it's more fear.
More fear. We've had one supposed human case.
Only one.
That's their narrative. If you've got one person who's gotten sick with this, should you care?
Even if that's true. And it may not even be true.
Remember one of the first ones of these back in the 1970s that had the swine flu panic?
And later on you had CBS 60 Minutes with Mike Wallace when they actually used to do some reporting and when they were not completely bought by pharmaceutical companies with all this ask your doctor commercials?
When they still had a little bit of integrity, Mike Wallace looked at it and he did an investigation.
He talked to people who had been injured, a lady who had Guillain-Barre and had been paralyzed, could not walk anymore.
And they went back to the origin story of this swine flu epidemic.
And it was one soldier, and there were three or four soldiers who had the flu.
And this is one, the other soldiers, they allowed them to stay in the bed.
This soldier had to go out and drill.
And he had the flu. Respiratory illness.
He collapsed. The drill sergeant there gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
They brought him in. They said, you got swine flu.
And you nearly died.
And this woman who had Guillain-Barre syndrome said, yeah, I heard that.
That was pushed by all the news media and everything.
And I thought, well, if this is a fit 20-year-old military recruit and it nearly killed him, I better get my swine flu shot.
And it did this to me. But the reality is that the drill sergeant who gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation never got sick.
Was it even swine flu?
And this guy that supposedly got swine flu, is it even swine flu?
And it's one person? Are we going to keep falling for the same lies and the same con jobs over and over and over again?
Well, I guess so. Because you can fool some of the people all the time, can't you?
And that's what we're starting to look at right here.
So now, in the UK, they are going to require homeowners to register birds that they own.
All their poultry, all of their backyard chickens.
And they're using the excuse of tracking bird flu.
And they're not going to require this Until September and October of this year.
This new law will be implemented in September and October.
Does this sound familiar as well?
Is this what we did all throughout the supposed emergency that Trump had declared?
Well, you know, in two or three months or five months or six months, we're going to do this.
Wait a minute. If it's an emergency, why don't you do it now?
Oh, you know, we're just doing it step by step.
We do it from the inside, and we do it iteratively, right?
And that's what they're doing with this.
So they want you to register information, like the size of your flock, how they are fed and raised, what kind of farming systems do you have, is there any other livestock on your farm or your backyard?
Oh, this is because of...
Bird flu, right?
No, this is because they want a concentrated food system that they can turn off.
They don't want you to have anything on the side.
They don't want you to even have backyard chickens.
And what other livestock might you have there?
Because we want you completely dependent on our food system.
Eat the bugs, right?
That's what they really want people to do. And so, what is funny about this, this is very serious, and they even talk about it in the paper that they put out to Farmers Weekly to justify the British government.
It says, by registering their birds, keepers will ensure they receive important updates relative to them, relevant to them about disease and stuff, and other biosecurity rules, and it will allow for more effective surveillance of anybody who is providing for their own food, right? And the list is absolutely exhaustive on here.
I mean, you know, there's some chickens here, but there's also, they've got ostrich.
I wonder how many people in the UK, they don't have a lot of land, they don't have big spreads there.
I wonder how many people there have ostriches.
Or kiwis.
Kiwis are hard to find even in native New Zealand.
They're so fragile.
And nocturnal. So you're keeping kiwis, are you, in your backyard in the UK? How about cassowaries?
These very dangerous birds of prey.
And they list birds of prey as well.
So first do chickens and turkeys, and then they get into all the rest of this stuff.
Emus, kiwis, guinea fowl.
Now guinea, maybe. We had guineas once.
Partridges. Do you have a pear tree as well?
Pheasants. Not peasants, but with a P-H. Pigeons.
Pigeons. Quails. All the rest of this stuff.
Parrots, budgies, cockatiels.
I could just see Monty Python doing a skit with this.
I'm sorry this bird is dead.
Must have died of bird flu.
Yes, not my fault.
He should have reported him to the government.
And so Wine Press comments and says, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has already been encouraging Americans to register their backyard gardens.
Not mandatory yet, but the government is getting the ball rolling.
More recently, some silly study that got mainstream press was a propaganda report that alleged conventional farms produce less carbon than backyard farms.
Right? They're setting it up, putting a target on people's bank.
You don't think they'll do it? I mean, just look at what they're doing, the farmers in Holland and other places.
I mean, of course you know where they're going with this stuff.
We all do. The Richmond, north of Richmond.
They think we don't know, but we do.
Yes, we do. We know exactly what these guys are up to.
So is it a PSYOP or is it the real deal?
Welcome to my show!
What they're selling people is a smart idea.
You do need to stockpile medicines in advance.
And as we were talking about the other day, one medical doctor was still saying in her jurisdiction, they're still trying to stop people from getting ivermectin.
And so we know what's going to happen with this, and that's the angle that the ads are coming out with with the wellness company.
Whether you get it from them or you get it from somebody else, you need to do that.
And it's one of the reasons why, and of course, Jack Lawson does support this program, but if you look at CivilDefenseManual.com, you've got a lot of stuff.
Food, water, a lot of preparedness issues, even including, you know, how do you make connections in your community?
And how do you get together with people who And make preparation for self-defense without running afoul of this other predatory agency called the FBI. Oh, you got a militia here?
Well, I think we're going to infiltrate and set this up.
You know, we'll get somebody. I'll put some FBI agent in there and have him start talking crazy talk about a civil war.
And if anybody joins along with them, well, we'll arrest you guys, all of you guys.
Well, you have to be careful about that type of thing.
How do you do that? And what type of things can you do on your own?
What do you need to do with other people?
How do you prepare for food, medicine, other things like that?
CivilDefenseManual.com is a great source of information.
Jack Lawson really knows his stuff and he's put together things with that with a lot of former Special Forces people.
He's had a lot of combat experience himself fighting Marxists in Africa.
A bird flu outbreak is posing no risk to the safety of America's food supply, say experts.
This is rare.
This is an ABC mainstream media news report telling people, hey, if you cook your meat and your milk is pasteurized and you cook your eggs, you don't have anything to worry about.
Maybe they're trying to bid up their pharmaceutical operations to try to get them to do something.
We're gonna be right back. Stay with us Here's a little song I wrote You might want to hear it in your heart.
You know nothing.

Oh, nothing. Be happy.
You can't even buy shit in the store because of your low social credit score.
Oh, nothing.

Oh And be happy.
Be happy and eat some bugs.

Let's talk about the eclipse.
Because I want to talk about weather.
And I want to talk about how bad their predictive models are.
And these people are trying to backfill and make excuses because you've got a lot of people who had relied on weather reports who were made a week or a month or whatever ago.
And they've, you know, 100,000, 200,000 people going to these small towns in Illinois, and they're saying, this is like an emergency.
How are we going to handle all these people coming here to see the eclipse?
And now they may not be able to see the eclipse, because now the weather report has changed.
I've talked about this over and over again.
It's now become something of a hobby with us.
One kind of phone, I've got another kind of phone.
We've got two different apps, so we look at the weather here.
And we compare notes.
Now, these people tell us that we're all going to die if the temperature changes by one and a half degrees centigrade.
We get way more variation on a regular basis between our two apps as it's going on.
What's your app say the temperature is?
Well, that's not what mine says.
We're one or two degrees off, typically, because it's where do they put the thermometer in different places.
The thermometer location...
More than wipes out this little one and a half degree variation here.
And of course, they don't have the historical data to compare it to either.
And then there's the fact that their weather models don't work.
So you can look at... So what is...
They were predicting snow here yesterday.
And actually, it didn't happen here, but Karen went to a nearby town, and she got into some snow flurries that wasn't sticking on the road, but that was a little bit surprising.
But again, the predictions were all over the place.
And so now you have people who want to go view this eclipse because they believe and trust the weather reports.
They're going to various places, and now the weather reports have changed.
And guess what? We're still like three, four days away.
It's Monday. This is Friday.
Three days. It's going to change again because these models are not accurate.
And yet it's reported this way by mainstream news.
The highly anticipated total solar eclipse is fast approaching, but Mother Nature, always Mother Nature, right?
Mother Nature, Gaia, the goddess, the earth goddess, is throwing some curveballs with a weather forecast.
No, that's not what's happening.
You've got some so-called scientists...
Who have weather models that don't work.
That's what's happening. It isn't Mother Nature doing anything.
Mother Nature's not throwing curveballs.
Mother Nature isn't doing anything.
Mother Nature doesn't exist.
The atmosphere looks poised to deliver.
The atmosphere is going to do it.
It's just like, Trump didn't lock us down.
The pandemic did that.
Trump didn't put the mask on our faces.
The pandemic did that.
It created a commercial real estate crisis.
It created trillions of dollars in debt.
Trump didn't do that. It was the pandemic.
Come on. You must have Trump delusion syndrome if you think he actually did it, because it was the pandemic that did it.
It's actually the globalist that he was following who did it.
Anyway, some areas that are almost the complete opposite of what historical cloud cover data shows for April the 8th.
Is this how they predict the weather?
They go back and they look at their cloud cover records and say it's going to be like that again.
What did we have April 8th a few years ago?
This is incredible, isn't it?
Are they really that stupid?
Did they base their models on typical cloud coverage?
For how long?
Under what circumstances? Don't they realize that the weather changes?
They're weathermen, or women, or whatever.
Causing some that made advanced plans to scramble to get into a different position to get a better view.
Years of past cloud-covered data pinpoint the southern plains as the region with the greatest chance for a cloud-free viewing experience on April 8th, and the northeast with one of the worst chances.
However, high pressures moving in from the left...
You've seen the weathermen do their shtick before.
However, high pressure and largely cloud-free sky could shape up over the Northeast, especially New England, and could create excellent viewing conditions for totality.
Or then again, maybe not.
We don't really know.
They give this long explanation about their historical stuff and their models and all this kind of stuff.
So tell me, Cassandra, will I succeed in war?
Well, yeah, I think, or maybe not.
I don't know. Based on past experience.
Actually, this was my favorite weatherman of all time.
Well, it was really a big year in weather in 1971.
We had a little bit of everything.
The year started off real cold.
For about three months, it was freezing, man.
Then it started getting nice, real nice.
And it got nicer and nicer until...
Finally we had a long hot spell.
Lasted right through the summer.
Then all that nice weather came back again until a couple of months ago when it started getting cold.
Looks like 1972 is starting in the same crazy pattern as a year ago.
Yeah. Must be the way that people are driving their cars.
Must be those new cars.
Yeah, so we got a new forecast that shows cloudy skies and eclipse tourists are devastated.
Yes, the weather has eclipsed their plans and the predictions, hasn't it?
Sometimes the weather gods like to laugh at you, said one person.
That is quoted by, this is the mainstream press.
You know, it's Mother Nature.
It's the weather gods.
You know, why don't they just start, you know, it's the sun, folks.
It determines our seasons.
It determines our weather.
Why don't you start talking about Apollo or something?
He's riding his chariot across the sky.
I'd like to see that in a weather report.
I mean, we had the hippy-dippy weatherman.
Can we get the pagan mythology weatherman to come out and do his report?
Yeah, we have Apollo, who will be riding his chariot across the sky, and he'll be briefly obscured.
By Luna.
Sometimes the weather gods like to laugh at you.
And sometimes we enjoy laughing at the meteorologist and the climatologist and the computer models and this so-called religion of scientism.
That's what it is.
It's a climate religion.
So yeah, of course they got weather gods.
It's a climate religion. I know I'm not responsible for the weather, said one of these guys.
But nevertheless, a lot of people had put their trust into the concept that this was going to be a great event.
To think that it was all going for naught was pretty upsetting, says the weatherman dude.
Hey dude, come on man, you said it was going to do this and it's doing something else.
As for the solar eclipse glasses themselves, they warn people.
The American Astronomical Society is warning people that there are fake glasses.
Solar eclipse glasses that are flooding the market.
From China? You think it's from China?
Let's send them some of these glasses and tell them that they can look directly at the sun during the eclipse.
Oh, this will be great. We're going to make all these Americans go blind.
Wearing them may damage your eyes.
It's kind of like the masks, you know, where they made so much money sending us all this personal protective equipment.
And it was garbage. Some of the tests, some of the masks came loaded for a positive test, and then the masks themselves had all kinds of harmful stuff in it, and you're breathing that in all day.
Yeah, you know, the mask could kind of cause you to damage your respiratory system like these glasses could cause you to damage your eyes if you believe these people.
It's amazing. They keep seeing these things over and over again.
So, David Barker has taught economics and finances at the University of Chicago and University of Iowa.
He has also been an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
And he said, you know, the Federal Reserve Bank, and they got some professors from Stanford and Berkeley, And, you know, they wrote some articles about how climate change is going to affect our economy.
That's what the Federal Reserve is doing.
Now, let's put this in a different context.
He doesn't mention this, but do you remember in March of 2022, two years ago, So Biden told everybody in government, hey, I want you to figure out how you're going to redesign the financial system.
I want you to figure out how you're going to force it on people.
So, you know, Department of Justice, Homeland Security, all you people.
How are you going to force people to use CBDC? And then we got to have some people actually got to write the code to make this stuff work or whatever.
And then we got the climate change thing.
That's how we're going to sell it to people.
Talk about how bad Bitcoin is for the climate.
But of course, all the surveillance and the large language models that we have for AI and these massive supercomputers, they don't use any energy at all.
It's only the crypto mining that you've got to worry about.
And so they put all this stuff out.
Now, maybe is this a response to this?
Yeah, because you can make a lot of money writing fiction that the feds want, can't you?
And so he says, I debunked research by the Federal Reserve and top academic economists on the economics of climate change.
An author of a paper that I debunked then said that three professors from Stanford and Berkeley, the three Stooges, Mo Curley and Larry, had done a much better analysis of temperature and growth in an article that they published in Nature.
And of course, again...
Let's go with, oh, these are big-name schools.
Nature is a big-name publication.
The Nature article, he said, is in the top 0.1% of academic economics publications by citations.
And it has received glowing press coverage.
I downloaded their data and found that, as with other articles that I had debunked, the results don't hold up under scrutiny.
The authors claim that there is an optimal average temperature of 55.5 degrees Fahrenheit for economic growth.
Let's go back to the hippy-dippy weatherman, right?
Anyway, countries that are colder or warmer than that grow more slowly.
The authors then use one of the most extreme, IPCC. That's the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
This is the fountainhead of fiction for climate stuff.
The IPCC estimates of warming up to the year 2100.
And they calculate, do you think that they know that?
They don't even know what the cloud cover is going to be like for the eclipse.
But they're predicting the temperatures for the next 80 years.
75 years. They calculate for each country how much more or less growth that warming would cause.
Then they calculate the difference in world gross domestic product with warming and without.
This really does sound like some of the Biden administration homework, doesn't it?
You know, give us a justification for this stuff.
You know, Federal Reserve, you want to push through.
We know you want to push through the CBDC. How do you justify it based on climate?
Well, something like this. So, this is, rather than uncovering a consistent relationship between growth and temperature around the world, the results are driven by relatively few countries, which I'm sure they cherry-picked.
Dropping Greenland and a group of contiguous northern and central African countries, for example, eliminates the practical and statistical significance of their results.
So why do such qualified and clever economists write such bad papers?
Why do top journalists publish them?
Show me the money, Jerry.
It's all about the money. It is.
It's the same reason that you have conservative news people and you have politicians supporting this stuff and supporting Trump.
Supporting Trump is for their career advancement, right?
If you're a conservative organization, you know better than that with Trump.
And as I said, all these people that I worked with, and many of them, I saw exactly what they said behind the scenes.
I knew what they were saying behind the scenes.
Why did they say this on air?
Why do they support Trump on air?
I can't imagine why.
Can you? The law of supply and demand applies to tomatoes and also to ideas.
Demand for research that bolsters arguments for bad policy leads to a supply of research.
Truth provides some constraints, but it doesn't always prevail.
Now, we have, again, the government has taken over research and science, and it has an unlimited amount of money, and it is willing to pay for lies.
It will pay handsomely for lies.
So, what is the outcome of this?
We have in the UK these ultra-low emission zones, or even now these zero emission zones.
And when you look at these two MacGuffins, right, whether you're looking at the climate MacGuffin or the COVID MacGuffin, these people who say zero, zero, zero, these are the absolutists.
These are the totalitarians.
Not a single case.
We're going to lock down everything in the country if we got a single case.
As determined, not by somebody even being sick, but my PCR test is magnified 1.1 trillion times.
And the same kind of absurdity is there with the zero emissions, the vision zero, no traffic fatalities whatsoever.
Whenever you look at these MacGuffins, they've got a long list of things that they want zeroed out.
And all of those things zero out your liberty and zero you out.
Zeroes out humanity.
Zeroes out our food, our transportation, our housing, our energy, our population.
Zero population growth.
Oh, wow. So we have some anti-net-zero vigilantes in the UK. Remember, they have put up these, spent lots and lots of money to put up these cameras that are going to be license plate readers.
And they're going to immediately look at these cars, look them up and see if they're an electric car.
Because it's got to be zero emission.
It can't be a hybrid.
It's got to be a battery electric.
If it's not a battery electric tied to that license plate number, then they instantly send a fine to that address, the person who owns that car.
And they're all over the place.
Now, I've shown you pictures in the past.
Of people chopping down these poles, of people using a pole to turn the camera up to the sky, destroying the cameras, doing all kinds of stuff.
Well, this is another technique that some freedom vigilantes have come up with.
This is a bat box.
Yes, a bat box.
Because, you know, bats are endangered species, and there's all kinds of rules and regulations.
Once a bat box goes up, thou shalt not mess with it.
And so here's a couple of guys who are dressed, both of them dressed as Batman.
We've got two different Batmen.
And they've done a little funny video here.
You can hear the Batman theme from the 60s.
And they've got pow, bam, zap, all this going on.
One Batman holds a ladder while the other Batman climbs up there and affixes a bat box that just coincidentally covers the camera.
And then he climbs down the ladder and then he puts some signs up that you're going to see warning anybody who, any government official, Who thinks that they should mess with that sacred bat box about the laws that protect these endangered species of bats.
Here is the sign.
They're going to show this. Stop.
This is a bat box. Bats and the law.
So be very careful.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
The 10-pound bat homes, and that's the cost, not how much they weigh, Has been spotted attached to ultra-low emission zone devices in areas of London.
Anti-Ula's campaigners aim to make it more difficult for damaged cameras to be repaired.
Anti-Ula's campaigners are hanging bat boxes on the cameras to stop the engineers from repairing them.
They said, these boxes are, quote, positively contributing to London's biodiversity and ecosystem.
One of them said, I'm sure whoever is behind it is extremely grateful to the transportation people for providing the poles to house this protected species.
So they got the signs up there that say, stop.
This is a protected species.
This is a bad box.
You must use the fearful majesty of bureaucracy against them.
That's right. That's what's so perfect about this.
And a little bit of humor as well.
Much like that scene in Brazil where he's like, wait a minute, do you have this specific form?
I say your bureaucratic rule and I raise you by another bureaucratic rule.
That's right. What's up with that?
Which had the story said, I personally think the Batman vigilantes are hilarious, and I think they're heroic.
But we at What's Up With That do not encourage this kind of behavior, especially in places like the People's Republic of Britain.
Britain is a place where defying the woke agenda with speech crimes can be punished with longer sentences than rape or stabbing someone to death, and they have links to prove that.
And we know that is the case here in America as well.
I don't know what sentences the anti-Ula's vigilantes will face if they're caught, but the vigilantes have massively embarrassed Sadiq Khan, the mayor.
So London authorities will likely want to make an example of them.
Well, you know, we just had that Easter celebration at that so-called church in Canada where they crucified Batman.
It's part of their Easter amateur hour.
Unbelievable. But, you know, they may actually literally crucify Batman in Sadiq Khan's London.
The Supreme Court in Hawaii is considering using the same tactic against oil companies...
That leftists have been using against gun companies all over this country already.
You know the tactic where they come in and they say, well, Smith& Wesson or Remington or whoever, you made guns, guns kill people, so we're going to sue you for what somebody did with your gun.
Well, of course, the problem with that is that guns also protect people.
And the problem, as I pointed out many times, is are you going to sue Ford because somebody took a Bronco and drove it through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in an act of terror?
Is that the problem of Ford?
No. And so it's that kind of thing.
But they continue to use it in spite of the fact that there has already been a law.
The Republicans saw this coming back in the 1990s.
They put a law in and they said, look, if somebody commits a crime with something that is not faulty, not a faulty product, but they're misusing it to harm somebody, in the same way that you could get a hammer and hit people on the head, and so you're going to ban all hammers now?
All cars? Well, now they're going to use, and they ignore that.
They ignore that. They ignored it with Sandy Hook.
They went after, what was it?
Was it Remington or Smith& Wesson?
One of these. And the gun company was already, had declared bankruptcy, and it was being run by a bunch of accountants and lawyers who got control of the company when it went into bankruptcy.
And they just said, here, here's, you know, tens of millions of dollars to the Sandy Hook people.
We're not even going to fight it. Very dangerous precedent that was set with that.
But now they're going to go after the oil companies the same way.
And there isn't a law that's been put in place to say, you know, that oil is not a hazardous thing.
Isn't it amazing that the people in Hawaii don't care about the Trump COVID shots?
They don't care about literal poison that is killing people in the same way that, oh, well, you know, we want everybody to be able to choose their own health care.
My body, my choice. That wasn't their song.
And during the so-called pandemic, was it?
But that's their song about abortion.
And they don't care what the fact that the government has given a rubber stamp pass to all of these poisonous vaccines that are killing people in so many different ways.
They don't care about that at all.
Instead, they're going to use lawfare to try to shut down oil companies.
So there is a lawsuit that has been initiated in Hawaii.
And in 2020, the city of Honolulu, it's even the government that initiated this.
This is not some crank idiot.
Well, they are crank idiots, but they're government crank idiots.
The most dangerous kind.
The city of Honolulu sued several major fossil fuel companies.
It's not fossil fuel, they're fuel companies.
Including Exxon and Chevron claiming that the company's products cause greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.
This could actually be something that it could be very dangerous if they win.
However... This is an opportunity for Exxon and Chevron if they don't want to just roll over and let this go through, because they do have interests in the green industries.
And I pointed that out to people when Trump picked Rex Tillerson.
I said, you think that because he was CEO of Exxon, That he doesn't agree with his green agenda?
He said, no, he's fully on board.
They've invested in the green agenda in the very early, early stages.
And sure enough, at the very beginning of the Trump administration, for several months, he had Ivanka and Rex Tillerson telling him, don't get out of the Paris Climate Accord.
And he didn't.
He didn't get out of it.
He said, well, I don't think I have to really worry about that.
I'll get out of it, but I'll do it after the 2020 election.
And he left it in the entire time.
And it said, well, it's done.
And then one or two months later, Biden comes back in and says, no, I want the Paris climate accordion.
So Trump didn't do anything.
And it was an Exxon executive that he put in the Secretary of State that helped to push that and his own daughter, of course.
And so, if they really wanted to fight this, the oil companies have the financial resources to fight this.
They have the financial resources to put climate change on trial.
Show me the money, Jerry.
Show me your evidence to say that greenhouse gas emissions are going to cause global warming.
Prove it. Prove it.
That's what really should be done.
I don't think that is what's going to happen.
And as a matter of fact, so the first moves of this were to ask the Hawaii Supreme Court to just throw this out because it's ridiculous.
And the Hawaiian Supreme Court did not do that.
And so there is going to be a trial about this.
And the question is, are these fuel companies going to capitulate?
because they are invested in these green technologies as well and when we look at how fraudulent all this climate change stuff is understand that the entire push to stop natural gas Goes back to one bad study from one professor.
One person with a bad study created this.
Claims that greenhouse gas emissions from liquid natural gas are larger than domestically produced coal.
Now, that part of it is not important.
They get into this article, the Daily Caller, Where they start comparing the number of angels that are on the head of this pen versus the number of angels that are on the head of that pen.
I mean, which one of these things has more CO2? Come on, don't play that game.
That's stupid. Man-made climate change is nonsense, as we've talked about over and over again.
All of the CO2 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere.
And the man-made part of that, according to these people, There's only 3% of that.
It's ridiculous. It works out to like 2.5 ten thousandths of a percent man-made.
All of this stuff is nonsense.
And CO2 is necessary for life anyway.
So why debate that aspect of it?
What's important about this is that all of this began...
In October 2023, right, it's not that long ago that they decided that they're going to start shutting down all the gas ranges and things like that.
This is all resting on one person's study.
That doesn't even make sense within their perspective.
Fantasy world of man-made climate change.
And that's what it is. It's a fantasy world.
It's not worth disputing this with them.
But they will take one study, just like we talked about.
One person, they claim, came down with swine flu.
Let's vaccinate everybody real quickly with an untested vaccine.
And people are getting Guillain-Barre and all the rest of this stuff all over the place.
Now... Zero.
Zero this, zero that, right?
Zero COVID, zero emissions, all the rest of this.
And of course, vision zero is a part of this as well.
That's another way to destroy cars.
First of all, we've got to have zero emissions from cars, but we've also got to have zero pedestrian deaths.
And so now you have Boston, and the way the Boston paper reported this, the Boston Herald, they said, you know, we've had a string of deaths of pedestrians in Boston, and we're going to have to take the speed limit down essentially to zero because of the Vision Zero programs.
The speed limit has already been changed once from 30 to 25 miles per hour throughout the city.
Now they want to go from 25 miles an hour down to 20, but the guy who's pushing this says that's not enough.
That's still too dangerous to have people driving 20 miles an hour.
Here's the danger of driving 20 miles per hour.
I'll fall asleep behind the wheel.
I'll get so distracted with, let's see, what else can I do with my time here?
Let's see, let's play with the radio here.
It's going to be that type of thing.
It's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
But they're not going to stop with that either.
But the Boston Herald is saying it's a string of these things.
I've had two people die.
And they don't talk about the circumstances of how these people died.
Now, one of them, and it is tragic, one of them was a four-year-old girl who was run over.
Have we all heard about that happening before?
Is this an unprecedented tragedy?
Yes, of course. We have all heard of this happening before.
It's very easy to happen because kids don't know not to play in the street.
And so they have to have supervision.
No discussion at all.
About, you know, parents, you need to keep an eye on your kids more and don't let them play on the street, that type of thing.
We don't know anything about the circumstances of this.
But as soon as this happens, a four-year-old child died.
So let's stop all the cars where they are right now.
Don't let them move. If they move, 15 miles per hour.
And you know, 15 is not going to be good enough for them either.
10. Let's go down to 10.
Five miles a hair, five.
And then the other one was an elderly guy in a wheelchair.
We don't know what happened with that either.
And just because you've got somebody who has irresponsible, maybe the driver was completely irresponsible.
Maybe this guy was going across on one of these zebra crossings, which I think are one of the worst things ever.
It gives people false confidence.
Well, I've got a zero crossing.
It's the same type of thing where people are sitting there at a traffic light.
I've got a green light. I'm going to go.
Well, you know, you're in the right.
You're legally right to go through that intersection.
But maybe you ought to treat it as if the people coming the other direction don't pay any attention to the light.
You know, you could be dead right about this thing, but you're still going to get hit.
And so we get so...
Focused on these, this is my lane, I have a green light, I've got a zebra crossing, and we almost, well, it's not possible for anything to happen to me with that.
Well, you better entertain that possibility.
And so we don't know what happened to these two pedestrian fatalities.
But now the Boston Herald and these Democrats in Boston are portraying this as a string of Of fatalities to throttle down everybody.
And again, Vision Zero is something that they have been selling for quite some time.
Vision Zero was in Austin when I was there.
So it's not just Boston, it's Austin as well.
And whenever you hear them talk about zero, just like COVID zero, you know that you're in for some draconian, dystopian, irrational measures that are going to be there to try to zero out everything.
Because we've got to have perfection.
Perfection doesn't exist in real life.
I've got to eliminate all risks of anything happening.
And so that means that we're going to have to eliminate the cars eventually.
And that's what this is truly about.
That's why they're pushing vision zero.
This one guy says Flynn is the one who's pushing it.
He's pushing for a new 20 mile per hour speed limit with enhanced traffic enforcement by the police.
But he thinks a new limit should actually be 15.
Half of what it was not very long ago.
It was 30 miles an hour.
He said at a Wednesday meeting referencing the city's goal for Vision Zero.
He said, in Boston, 25 miles an hour is excessive driving through a dense neighborhood.
I think it should be 20.
I even think it should be 15.
But driving 25 on a residential street is unhealthy.
It is unsafe.
Why is that the case?
I mean, we've got a residential street, as I just pointed out yesterday.
If your kids are outside, if they're riding a bike or if they're playing in the yard or they're walking down the sidewalk, You're going to have noisy neighbors, and noisy neighbors, are going to call the cops on them and send CPS out.
I mean, we're not allowed to have the kids.
They're not allowed to be outside the house anyway.
So what's going on with this?
What was happening with this four-year-old?
Didn't somebody call CPS and they saw a four-year-old unaccompanied out there?
I mean, we're supposed to have the police come swooping in and take kids away from any parents and allow them outside to play or ride a bike.
So what's this about? I mean, why do we need to worry about any of this stuff, right?
Kids aren't supposed to be outside anyway.
A safety surge program is what they call it.
Safety. Always about safety.
They installed speed hump zones.
Hump zones. Safety.
That lower the limit on qualifying neighborhood streets to make them safer for pedestrians.
So they have a safety surge.
The surge. We got the surge.
We had a safety surge with COVID too, didn't we?
They can't even come up with new names for this stuff.
The MacGuffin is so repetitive.
Whether you're talking about the climate MacGuffin or you're talking about the COVID MacGuffin, you still got the surge.
It's all about safety.
We got a safety surge here.
Boston should also consider experimenting with electronic technology, they said, designed to automatically slow speeding cars down to whatever Flynn or any of the other dictators decide.
This is already being tested in other cities across the country, he said.
Especially, I guess, on these new electric vehicles.
Not just the electric vehicles, but all the new cars are being loaded up with spy tech.
But especially the electric ones, right?
On Tuesday, a 57-year-old man in a wheelchair was struck and killed by a cement truck driver in the area of South Boston.
And again, whose fault was this?
If it was the fault of the cement truck, should we ban cement trucks too?
You know, there's much chance of surviving if you get hit by a cement truck.
Even if, you know, you may not be in a wheelchair, you might be in an automobile.
You're still not going to survive.
So shouldn't we just ban cement trucks?
Let's ban cement! Oh, I'm sorry.
They're already working on that, aren't they?
Because it's got carbon footprints as well.
It's putting out emissions as well.
We've got to ban that as well.
We'll have to live in a hermetically sealed environment to please Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates.
Lowering Boston's speed limit won't slow cars down without a street redesign, says a transit advocate.
He doesn't advocate having a transportation.
He may advocate public transit.
Because that's the point. They want to get rid of drivers.
They want to get rid of cars.
All cars, not just internal combustion engines.
All cars. A string of serious pedestrian crashes.
Two of them. Two of them.
And so, we're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back.
I've got something I want to say.
About booty gay and the trash that he's been talking lately about transportation, which is absolutely unbelievable.
Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.
And the sweet sounds of Motown.
Find them on the oldies channel at APS radio.com.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
It's common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Alright, welcome back.
I've got a couple of tips here I want to acknowledge on Rockfan.
Doug O'Lug, thank you, Doug.
I appreciate that. He says, Christ is king.
Yeah, that's, oh, well, I guess we're now going to be investigated by the ADL for being anti-Semitic, right?
Is that... Amazing.
And he says, and David Knight is the man.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
And on Rockfin, Sean E. Thank you very much.
As a matter of fact, I had somebody else on Rockfin send me a comment.
This is William Wallace, who is on Rockfin.
And he said, Alex Jones' show yesterday, April 4th, the first five minutes, he said, don't ask me why I was listening.
I don't very often. But sometimes I want to hear what the CIA is saying.
Anyway, he had an interview playing, and the guy was saying that he talked to Trump, and there's a plan.
Oh, there's always a plan with Trump, isn't it?
I mean, he's got everything figured out.
There's a plan, and when implemented, illegals will want to deport themselves.
I was laughing at the idea of America becoming such an excrement hole that they actually left.
You may not care, but he says, I thought you would maybe enjoy a laugh at the stupidity of these people.
You know, the gullibility of his audience as well.
You know, the interesting thing, as I saw that, I thought about what happened with the wall on the border.
He never built the wall.
He didn't bring the troops home.
He said he was going to end Afghanistan and Iraq and bring the troops home.
He could have brought the troops home. He could have put them at the border.
He could have used that. He could have used the money from the defense budget to defend our border and build the wall.
There's so many different things that he could have done.
But, of course, as I've said over and over again, I don't put a lot of faith in physical barriers because you can go over a wall, under a wall, around a wall, especially if the wall is only 400 or 500 miles of a 2,000-mile border.
It's easy to go around it.
But I don't put too much confidence in physical barriers, just like I don't put confidence in law enforcement being able to stop drug abuse.
It's a different kind of problem.
Drug abuse is based on spiritual problems, medical problems, psychological problems.
You can't solve those with law enforcement.
And there's a lot of law enforcement officers who will tell you that after they retire.
And a lot of prosecutors will tell you that after they retire.
But it's also the problem at the border.
And when I was looking at this, I told Karen, I said, you know, when you look at Trump and the border, at the very beginning, for the first couple of months, everybody kind of laid back.
And immigration dropped significantly.
And then after about three months or so, they figured out he was a paper tiger.
He was all talk and no action.
And they're like, let's wait and see what this guy's going to do.
He sounds pretty crazy.
He sounds like he's really passionate about this.
Let's see what he's going to do.
Well, he did nothing. And so then it picked back up again.
And not only that, but they created the caravans and everything.
And so they were stopped, not because of any barrier.
There was no physical barrier there the first couple of months of his administration.
And there was still no physical barrier there toward the end of his administration in 2020 when he started playing the pandemic games and he shut the border down saying, well, we've got to shut the border down because of pandemic stuff.
Was that really...
Did they stop people from coming in?
Did you see law enforcement there stopping people from coming in?
Did you see walls that went up because of that?
No. Still, nothing had happened to actually interdict it physically.
Could it be... That immigration and the interceptions of people dropped.
Could it be that maybe they didn't want to engage people?
You had cops all over the place stop pulling people over for speeding.
Could it be they didn't want to have interaction with people because they believed in the pandemic?
Could it be that maybe people in other countries looked at the idiotic measures that were being taken here in America and said, I don't want to go to that place.
Not now, anyway.
Could it have been that?
Because I had people contacting me from Africa and many other places where, you know, we call them developing countries or third world.
You know, it's not a third world thing came from the first world being the U.S. and Western Europe, second world being the communist nations, and third world be the others.
And the third world, where we weren't bothering them, one guy contacted me from Africa, and he said, you know, there's absolutely nothing around here.
He said, the Europeans and Americans were real worried about all this stuff.
And he said, they went home.
And he said, it's great.
The rest of us are here, and we're going about our business.
Nobody's wearing masks. Nobody's staying six feet apart.
Nobody's shutting down any businesses.
And we're all just fine.
Those crazy people from Western countries that have now gone home.
Could it be that that's why immigration dropped?
Not because of anything that Trump did, except for the fact that he went absolutely crazy.
But maybe, you know, Trump and his policies, all replicated by Trudeau and Macron and all these other people.
Maybe these globalist policies that Trump is implementing in lockstep with these other people.
Could it be that that was so crazy they didn't want to come here?
That's what I think. And so, again, getting back to the climate, MacGuffin, New England is bracing for spring snowstorms.
As I said, Karen got into some snow flurries yesterday here.
When we moved to North Carolina in 1983, I remember it was a Friday.
It was April 15th.
Got my taxes done.
I already set it up to move.
I resigned that job, starting a new job on the following Monday.
So we drove straight through with our dog on our lap.
It was a miserable trip.
And I got to Research Triangle Park.
And on that Monday, my first day of work, it was snowing.
I grew up in Florida, and that was not typical at all for the Triangle, the Piedmont area of North Carolina.
I said to Karen, I said, what have we done?
I didn't want to move to the Arctic North, and it's April the 18th, and it's snowing.
Well, you know, that kind of stuff happens.
And yet, it was RFK Jr., as I just pointed out, a few days ago.
He was telling everybody, you know, 15 years ago, We'd seen the end of snow.
Kids in Washington and New York were not going to ever see snow again because of global warming.
Who knew that this was not going to be true?
Well, we all knew that.
We all knew that. Calendar says it's spring, but winter storm warnings are in effect in the Midwest and the Northeast.
Imagine that. The hippy-dippy weatherman would be absolutely amazed, wouldn't he?
And then you have Booty Gay.
Talking about EVs.
And he says, the industry is moving toward EVs, he says, but we can't let economically smart play happen at its own pace.
So he said, that's really smart.
That's really smart economically.
But, you know, these people out there that I've been selected to rule over, they're a bunch of rubes.
They're idiots. We can't let this proceed at the pace that they want to go.
We've got to intervene and force people to do it at a faster pace.
So he's on Fox News, and Buttigieg says, quote, the automotive sector is moving towards EVs.
Well, he's a day late and a dollar short, isn't he?
And China pushed for an advantage in the EV market because that's the economically smart play.
But we can't just sit back and let this happen at its own pace because there's competition between the U.S. and China.
Well, here's the thing.
I guess when I'm buying a car, I don't think I'm going to need to buy another car.
Looking at the features and the costs and all the rest of this stuff, I think I'm going to go with what I've got.
But when you're looking to buy a car, do you really care if it's about this competition between U.S. and China anymore?
Yeah, I know people look at foreign and domestic cars and the automobile industry, but they've already got it in the cards that they're going to shut down American automotive industry.
How do we know? Well, because China is in this position and has been given this superior advantage by these very globalists and environmentalists that Buttigieg is part of.
They put in the Paris Climate Treaty.
They said China can have as dirty and as cheap energy as they want.
So right there, that wipes out all of our industry, not just the cars.
And nobody wants to talk about that.
But then they also have an advantage with the minerals that are used for that.
And then, of course, there's the usual stuff of intellectual property theft stuff.
Slave labor, currency manipulation, and all the rest that's part of the China price.
But, you know, Buttigieg knows better.
He's smarter than us, and he wants to push us into this kind of transportation that they've already given an overwhelming advantage to China.
China's been able to leapfrog.
We had 100 years of experience in terms of developing mechanical engines.
And then, of course, they made them a lot more complicated, and the automotive industry was fine with that, with these EPA regulations making them complicated, because that kept competition away.
You can't make a simple car.
Well, the EVs are very simple cars.
And so that advantage that they had that was actually helped by the EPA regulations...
They decide they would play along with the government regulations against the environment, and then, uh-oh, now we've got ourselves in a problem now.
The government, that same agency, is going to sweep all that stuff away.
So, John Roberts on Fox says, well, Tesla sales fell 8.5% in the first quarter of this year.
Ford this week is laying off two-thirds of its workforce at the F-150 electric lightning plant.
It's also scaling back a battery production facility because of sagging sales.
EV sales are nowhere near what this president wanted or expected.
Yet, the administration continues to shove them down consumers' throats.
Why, he asked Booty Guy.
Buttigieg said, well, let's be clear.
Consumers have wanted and purchased more EVs every single year than the year before.
This is what is known as a half-truth.
Yes, that is true.
But it's not the whole truth.
For example, in the UK, the Telegraph just had an article as he was saying this.
The Telegraph in the UK said there in that country, EV sales, and they have much stronger EV sales there than they do here because they've enacted all kinds of draconian penalties.
I mean, you even get charged more for a parking space if you've got a diesel car or truck.
And so there, EV sales were up 3.8%.
But guess what?
Internal combustion engine sales were up 9.2%.
So yeah, sales are going up.
But not as fast as the sales for the internal combustion engines.
And the one that really caught fire were hybrids.
Up 37% in the UK because they're putting so much pressure on them and the gas prices are so high.
But the hybrids don't cut it.
You can't drive a hybrid into Sadiq Khan's London.
You'll get a ticket. It's got to be ultra low emission.
And they have banned hybrids.
Not going to allow that to happen.
They know better than you what you are going to be allowed to drive.
During the Trump administration, China was not really able to build an advantage in the EV market.
Says Breitbart.
And that's absolutely wrong.
Trump didn't do anything to stop any of that.
This is all just being developed and pushed along.
Yes, Biden is pushing it harder.
But the EPA and all these, the IPCC and the UN and Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum and China, all the rest, the Paris Climate Accord that Trump left in, made all of this stuff possible.
And they said, obviously not because they're big environmentalists over in China, but just because that's the economically smart play.
So, the advantage that Breitbart doesn't want to talk about is in this Paris Climate Accord that Trump left in place.
The advantage is not green.
It doesn't have to be green.
They just say, well, you're going to be allowed to have as many and as dirty a power plants as you want.
So, Booty Gay goes on on this Fox interview to say that opposing electric cars is like wanting a landline phone forever.
Well, would you rather have a landline phone or would you rather have one of these Big Brother tracking devices, which is what the smartphones have become?
And it's kind of interesting, too, because when you go back and look at the landline phones, those of us who remember what these things were, we know how a government monopoly given to AT&T stymied all innovation in phones.
I remember when I was in high school, I mean, they were fighting with a phone company to try to have push-button phones or whatever.
I mean, it basically required an act of Congress to modify anything on the phone because of a government-granted monopoly.
Couldn't own the phone, you had to rent the phone from them, all the rest of these types of things.
And so Boudiguet says, this is like wanting a landline phone forever.
He said, sometimes when these debates happen, I feel like it's the early 2000s.
And I'm talking to some people who think that we can just have landline phones forever.
Now, you know, I always used to make fun of Boudiguet when he was running.
They called him Mayor Pete.
I called him Mayor Peewee because he reminds me so much of Peewee Herman.
Sorry, operator. I can't hear you.
I'm trying to use the phone!
Yeah, I'm trying to use a landline here.
So, you know, back off, Jack.
I can't go outside because I got this cord here.
So, quiet. You know, it's interesting.
Eric Peters and I have always talked about how they're turning cars.
These electric cars are turning them in, too.
And the other cars, as well.
Unnecessary bells and whistles, unnecessary distractions on the center console that they would give you a ticket if you were doing that kind of stuff with a phone.
But hey, if you take your eyes off of the road and you're playing with this thing on the center console, which is essentially some kind of an iPad, It's nailed to the dashboard.
If you do that, well, we're not going to give you a ticket.
And we'll allow General Motors and all these other people to put all kinds of ads and things like that.
Oh, you're passing one of these fast food places.
Would you like to have a coupon? We're going to turn in there.
Always distracting you, right?
And so Eric Peters and I have talked about for the longest time, you know, what they're doing is they're just turning, the cars are turning into appliances, and that appliance is a smartphone.
And now we've gone full circle.
We have a Chinese smartphone company has now unveiled its first EV. Of course!
Of course! This is where this is all headed.
It's all headed to China.
It's all headed to the cars becoming smartphones.
They say that their car is going to be comparable to a Porsche and a Tesla.
And, of course, they can leapfrog.
The sports cars of Europe, because again, they don't care about that century of engine technology that's been developed.
They just throw that out the window.
We don't care anymore. They also claim, some pretty impressive statistics, 434 to 516 mile range, and only costing $43,000, and I say only because that's significantly below, Where most of the EVs are.
The question is going to be, though, is that a real range?
Or are they exaggerating that as they want to do?
Some people are saying not even, this is from the UK Telegraph, not even Elon can save EVs from disaster.
And oh, by the way, neither can Booty Gay, neither can Mayor Pee Wee.
According to the AA in the UK, that's like the AAA here in the United States, Automobile Association, the second-hand values of the 20 most popular electric and hybrid cars was down 12% in the first quarter this year compared to the first quarter of 2023.
That is the drop in value of like-for-like cars, not what buyers can expect to lose in depreciation over the first year.
That's a big difference, right?
We're not talking just about that.
We're talking about how they're all starting to get in this price competition.
And that's an addition to the depreciation you normally have.
In some cases, the fall has been even greater.
The value of a one-year-old Peugeot E2008 with 10,000 miles on it fell 38.7%, and the tide has turned for Tesla as well.
In the three months to March, it sold 386,000 cars, down from 422,000 in the same period the year earlier.
Tesla shares plunged 7% on the news.
The company's market valuation, however, is still nearly twice as much as the second most valuable car stock, and that's Toyota.
Toyota sells massive amounts of cars, makes massive amounts of money, but it's still this EV bubble that is there.
If battery technology develops to the point where electric cars can travel 500 miles on a single charge and take 10 minutes to recharge, this person says they'll sell themselves.
Until that point, he's not interested.
I can charge mine way faster than 10 minutes because wherever you do this, I mean, you're talking about actual energy going into the tank, which in a gasoline car is the gasoline.
Forget about all the swiping of the card and the this and the that and paying and all that.
Yeah, that takes time, but that has to be done regardless of the kind of card it is.
But I can fill mine up in 30 seconds once I get started.
I've got such a small tank in it.
So when we look at this, this all just comes back to lies and to mandates.
It's another MacGuffin, just like the pandemic always was.
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, before Gerald joins us, we're going to talk a little bit about some other issues, and when he gets here, we're going to be talking about the economy.
We'll, of course, be talking about the war, because there's been tremendous developments the latter part of this week in terms of the war.

Using free speech to free minds.
It's the David Knight Show.
Well, a 15-year study has been released that is really surprising.
Guess what? If you don't keep pressuring kids and mutilating them, the vast majority of kids grow out of gender confusion.
And they stop wearing capes and trying to jump off of roofs as well and other dangerous things like that if you get them through those stages.
Who knew? Well, we all knew.
We've always known all of this, and we've always known that this is gaslighting and grooming.
Babylon Bee puts it this way.
Democrats warn parents to quickly transition their kids before they grow out of it.
The new study, they said, created a new sense of urgency within the Biden administration to make sure that parents take action now.
So that as many children as can be, transition before it's too late.
Chop them up now, folks, Biden said in a statement to American parents.
Let me be clear. There is no time to waste.
If you don't transition your kids now, you run the risk of having them grow out of their gender dysphoria and maturing into healthy, mentally stable adults who aren't confused about their gender.
Don't wait! Get them to one of those weird doctors.
Swap out their privates.
Get it done. End of speech.
Walk away. See, it's a teleprompter there.
Of course, the real issue with this, and there are parents who push the kids into it, but the real issue is the schools.
Get them out of the schools.
One girl has been sexually assaulted in the bathroom in Portland.
And by two trans women, who are men, right?
The guys. But then when this was, after she was gang raped by these guys, The school investigated it.
They didn't call the police.
And they said, nah, no problem.
These are trannies.
Don't dare criticize them.
And so now the Portland family is suing the school district for $9 million because their daughter was gang raped.
And the school decided that they would partner with this.
The boys only got one day of suspension.
And the school district did not even call the police.
Instead, the school conducted their own quote-unquote investigation.
At least two of the boys identified themselves as women, and that information was left out of many news outlets.
We don't want to talk about that.
They identify as women, but they rape girls as well.
That seems to be a familiar story that we've seen over and over again.
One detransitioner Crashed the Disney shareholder meeting.
Blames the company for her body being irreversibly damaged.
And she tells Iger, the CEO, lawsuits are coming.
I hope they do.
I mean, that's a, you know, these people who, the parents who sued that school district for $9 million, good for them.
Good for them. At some point, the community has to stop this.
And if we don't stop it, we're all going to pay for this, one way or the other.
A former transgender who had detransitioned crashed Disney's shareholder meeting on Wednesday and called in a public line accusing the studio of pressuring young girls into undergoing sex change procedures.
Chloe Cole said she transitioned to a boy at the age of 16.
She had surgery.
She had hormone treatment.
She said her body has been irreversibly damaged.
That's her statement.
She's part of a group called Do No Harm.
Which opposes transgender procedures for minors.
Since detransitioning, she has become a vocal opponent of the trans lobby's aggressive push to allow children to undergo irreversible procedures to change their sex.
And, you know, it's interesting.
I was looking up something else, and an old article came up about, you remember, the obsession of the left a few years ago.
Was Muslims and their female genital mutilation stuff that they were doing.
And that was being done to them, right?
This is something that they have gaslighted people to say, well, I want that done, right?
And so that's the only distinction.
They didn't run a psychological op on them to get them to say, oh, yes, I really would like to have that.
It was heinous.
And yet nobody's talking about that anymore.
Isn't that interesting? That topic has just gone away.
That was their favorite topics to talk about.
And that's just gone away.
Because now we're mutilating children.
So she said, Mr. Iger, Disney under your watch is pushing the limited agenda of gender ideology.
Disney has become the Ursula, stealing the voices of thousands of little aerials across the world by telling us that we can be something that we can never become.
And the lawsuits are coming, sir.
In recent years, Disney has promoted transgenderism in its entertainment aimed at children.
Of course, transgender and other gender nonconformist characters have appeared in multiple Disney TV series, including Baymax, Loki, Ironheart, Raven's Home.
The animated Disney Plus series Baymax features a transgender man.
Of course, we had, for very, very young children, they had a man dressed up as a woman.
I talked about that a couple of years ago.
It's really disgusting.
But it's really the school's.
It's one of the schools where this is, and entertainment as well, but the schools are really the primary, I believe.
And now we have the Satanic Temple is set to enter Florida school curriculum after exploiting a loophole in a bill that was designed to increase religious freedom.
For the longest time, when I was a child, middle of the 20th century, we've got to stop anybody from exercising any religion.
So let's purge everything out of there.
And now they're saying, well, that's not establishing a religion.
Establishment of religion is if you force people to go to a particular church, and they get fined if they don't attend.
But in almost all cases, they had to pay money to that denomination.
That was what they were talking about with establishment in the early colonies.
And you still had state churches that persisted in Massachusetts into the 1840s and Connecticut nearly as long, even after the prohibition of the federal government having one established religion was there.
And so that's not what they're talking about.
Nobody ever thought that the exercise of religion or even pushing a Christian worldview was Was a problem.
But I think that this satanic lawsuit opens up another possibility for us to look at what is happening with this.
Because the satanic temple has made it very clear.
They don't believe in Satan.
They don't believe this is not a religion for them.
This is an anti-religion for them.
They're doing this simply to shut down the free exercise of religion by other people.
And so, it is not a religion.
That is not my judgment.
That is what they say about what they do.
They say it is not a religion.
And so, if they're going to present it as some kind of a quasi-religion, even though they don't believe any of this stuff, what they say they're doing is they're presenting a worldview that is anti-Christian.
We've already got several of those that are being pushed out through the schools, don't we?
And worldview is really a set of ethics, a set of commandments that you have to do.
Don't we have that already with the trainees?
Don't we have that already with the climate stuff?
Don't we have that already with the critical race theory and the DEI stuff?
Aren't those worldviews that come with, this is good, that is bad, that's evil, we're going to punish that severely?
Aren't they religions?
Aren't they intolerant religions?
Yes, they are. They're worldviews and they're religions, and that's what Satanic Temple is as well.
It's an intolerant, secular religion that has a whole set of commandments to control your behavior, and it's being pushed through the school, and that should end.
Because the schools are really establishing these religions.
They're saying, you must do this.
You cannot do that.
We're going to remove your free exercise of religion, and that ought to be the takeaway for all of that.
Four more Christians have been found guilty over a prayer gathering at a Nashville abortion clinic.
You know, when you look at the UK arresting a woman who is silently praying outside, Just think about the fact this is in the Bible Belt.
But, of course, it's not really a Tennessee law.
This is a federal law, the FACE Act.
And they're sending people to jail for a very, very long time.
As a matter of fact, when you look at what is going on in politics, RFK Jr., he was out there saying, well, we need to pardon Assange.
We need to pardon Ed Snowden.
In a flyer that he put out, there was something that gave people the impression that he wanted to treat the January the 6th people as political prisoners, and they are.
But when that came out, RFK Jr.
now is doing somersaults, trying to distance himself from that.
I don't think that the January the 6th people are political prisoners.
Oh, really? Really?
Isn't that interesting? Because we've just had the FBI arresting a couple three years after there.
They were there in the Capitol for 12 minutes.
They didn't do anything to harm anybody.
They were let in, and they were there for 12 minutes.
And now the government has SWAT teamed the two of them.
Guns in their faces.
Handcuff them, lead them away.
And they want to put them in jail for years.
RFK Jr. doesn't want to stand up to that?
And quite frankly, where are these spineless Republicans?
Where have they been for the last four years?
They're scared to death to stand up for these people who have been political prisoners.
Now, the same thing is happening with pro-life people as well.
Four more Christians have been found guilty of a prayer gathering at Nashville Abortion Clinic.
The Department of Justice.
Yeah, you can put that in air quotes.
We'll be throwing an elderly survivor of a communist concentration camp into a federal prison for sitting in a wheelchair in the hallway of an abortion business and singing church hymns.
That's what this has come to.
They had a trial at the Fred...
Now that's something to think about.
Thompson, courthouse.
Fred Thompson, when he was running.
Oh, that's something to think about. But the key story here is this elderly person, elderly woman, who was in a wheelchair, 89 years old.
Ms. Edel has been a long-time peaceful activist at abortion clinics.
Motivated by her traumatic childhood in communist Yugoslavia, she was removed from her home with her family.
They were allowed to keep only a dish and the clothing that they wore on their backs.
She recalls being stuffed into a cattle car, shipped to a camp where she nearly starved to death while she watched the people around her die.
As a child, she watched the dead being put on wagons and then being buried in mass graves.
We were considered to be non-human with just permission given for torturing and killing us by the government, she told an interviewer in 2018.
Bye.
Our government's legalizing abortion does not make it right or good, she told the Epoch Times in a 2023 interview.
She said, if it is right for the American government to legalize the killing of innocent human beings inside the womb, pre-born babies, then why do we condemn the Nazis who also legalized the extermination of born people, Jews, gypsies, and others?
All were unwanted individuals.
If it's a good thing to kill human beings just as long as the government says so, then we have no right to condemn anybody else, but we all know deep down that these things are evil.
Nobody's life is ultimately safe in a nation that is ruled by someone who does not respect all human life, from conception to natural death.
It will just depend on who is in power and whose whim will dictate who is permitted to live and who is going to be exterminated.
That's her quote.
That's what she said. This 89-year-old who was sitting in a wheelchair singing hymns.
A communist concentration camp survivor.
She called the abortion business, she compared it to death camps.
Well, I guess now she'll be called out by the ADL for being anti-Semitic, right?
You can't say that. You know, anybody who compares anything to the Holocaust, well, now that you have denigrated the Holocaust, it's got to be held separate and apart from everything else.
Well, no, it's very similar to a lot of things that are happening out here.
But if you point that out, oh, now you are anti-Semitic.
I'm not going to play that game.
She said, when I was on a cattle car with all my people and we were shipped to the death camp to be exterminated, the people around us were not in agreement with what the government did.
But they were intimidated, she said.
We have to overcome that fear.
And we have to do what is right anyway.
I wished in those days that somebody would have cared enough to go stand on those railroad tracks and say, you cannot take these babies and these children and these adults unless you go over my dead body.
That's what she was doing at the abortion clinic.
She said if more and more would just lay down their lives and be willing to at least go to jail to protect these babies, we would have more success.
But then who knows what the Lord will do.
Maybe he will honor even the sacrifice of the few.
I am always hopeful, she said.
Well, she's 89. She has a purpose.
She has a cause. She's fearless.
She has seen what this is.
She knows it has to be stopped.
She knows that she's not going to live forever.
And she's living for the eternal life.
And yet we look at what is happening when we remove the culture of life and society.
We have a physically healthy Dutch woman, 28 years old, has decided to be euthanized because she's got depression.
And she's very excited now about that.
As a matter of fact, Babylon Bee.
And I made a satire about that.
You know, finally lifting her out of her depression because now she's going to, you know, be killed in a couple of months.
Oh, well, okay, well...
Maybe you don't need to be suicide anymore.
We just keep moving that date out.
So she's completely physically healthy.
But she says she struggles with depression, autism, and borderline personality disorder.
She lives in a small village in the Netherlands near the German border, scheduled for euthanasia in May, despite being in love with her 40-year-old boyfriend and living with two cats.
Once aspired to be a psychiatrist, she has been dealing with mental health struggles throughout her life.
And so now she's very excited because they're going to allow her to kill herself.
Now, the National Review op-ed piece, and this is a comment that was made by a member of parliament, former Tory member of parliament, Matthew Parris.
They said normalizing assisted suicide will lead to a duty to die.
A duty to die.
Just as we had a duty to mask up.
We had a duty to lock down.
We had a duty to take the jab.
And on and on.
Euthanasia isn't really about compassion, but the fear of decline and a loathing of dependency.
A new column published in the Times of London in which former Tory MP Matthew Parris argues that euthanasia and assisted suicide should not only be permitted, but encouraged.
The title of the op-ed piece is We Can't Afford a Taboo on Assisted Dying.
So he's fully in with this.
And listen to his logic.
And he's the one who's saying that it's going to lead to a duty to die.
I can't dispute the objector's belief that once assisted dying becomes normalized, we will become more apt to ask yourselves, for how much longer can we justify the struggle?
The word, let me interrupt here a second.
Have you connected with Gerald?
Okay, good. So we're just going to finish this up and we'll go to Gerald.
And so the National Review says, to use the word justify here is telling.
There's not only concern the suffering of the person who is ill, disabled, or elderly, but the suffering that the person is supposedly causing to family and society who have to take care of that person.
That's where the duty to die comes in.
Paris believes that eventually for such a person to continue to live will be considered to be unjustifiable.
This is what he says in his op-ed piece.
Quote, Is life still giving us more pleasure than pain?
How much is all this costing relatives and the health service?
How much of a burden are we placing on those who love us?
How much of a burden are we placing on ourselves?
If assisted dying becomes common and widely accepted, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions...
We'll consider choosing this road when the time comes.
And in some cases, even ask themselves whether it would be selfish not to kill themselves.
Within a decade or more, assisted suicide will be seen as normal road for many to take and be considered socially responsible, just like wearing a mask or something like that, right?
And even finally, it will be urged upon people.
Then it will be demanded of people, just like the mask and other things.
And we have seen this type of logic, well, okay, this kid's going to be a burden to society, burden to the parents, so we should kill that child.
And yet, over and over again, we see parents who love that child.
Paris sees the future as a war between the old and the sick, and the young and the healthy, based on the cost of caring for people with dementia, disabilities, serious illness.
He says, this resource imbalance helps to explain the government's desperate reliance on immigration.
To the rage of electorates who won't face the fundamental question, how are our economies going to pay for the ruinously expensive overhang that dare not speak its name?
old age and infirmity. His piece clearly lays out the policy and the moral issues that we should be debating rather than the phony baloney assertions that assisted suicide is only for the terminally ill for whom nothing else can be done to alleviate suffering. That is not true.
And indeed, such proposals are merely stations on the way to creating a crassly abandoning society in which the weakest and the most vulnerable among us become a killable caste.
Now, I don't know if the National Review wants to make...
Nowhere in this article did they make that comparison to babies.
There's nobody that is more helpless and vulnerable than a baby, than an unborn baby.
And when we throw away life and we treat it cheaply, we'll come back to haunt each and every one of us.
If we allow that to be established as our societal worldview, if we allow the government to champion that as a noble and good thing, we'll be signing our own death warrants, and rightly so.
We're gonna take a quick break and we will be right back The David night show is a critical thinking super spreader better.
If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it.
Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther.
I mean, trust the science.
Wear your mask.
Take your vaccine.
Don't ask questions.
Using free speech to free minds.
It's the David Knight Show.
Bye.
All right, joining us now is Gerald Salenti of Trends Journal, trendsjournal.com.
Great publication, weekly publication, massive amount of information.
It's put up in an online magazine format.
Go there, take a look at it.
Always has great covers, great coverage as well.
And you can save 10% off with the code NIGHT, K-N-I-G-H-T. But joining us now is Gerald.
And Gerald, we were just saying this brief time that we had, How spot on you have been with all the predictions, whether it's been financial, and unfortunately it looks like the war stuff as well.
I hope you're wrong about that war thing, but certainly you've already been proven right in terms of financial things, gold and commercial real estate, way, way, way ahead of the curve on all the rest of the people.
Yeah, one of our top trends for 2024.
January 2nd.
A golden year for gold.
Yeah. That's right.
We gave the details.
And now as we're speaking, gold is what?
About 3,200 and, you know...
$25 or something like that?
Yeah, $2,000. $2,000.
$2,200.
Headed to $3. $2,300.
I'm thinking, did I miss that?
That it jumped 50%?
$25. Yeah. Yeah. I've never been good at numbers.
Oh, that's fine. But you're good at trends.
And you knew that was coming.
And you told us why it was coming.
Election year, they're going to...
They'll come up with any kind of flimsy excuse or maybe no excuse at all.
They'll just play these games.
And since last week, we've seen pretty much everything except gold and then, of course, oil.
I thought this was interesting.
This was the headline, Gerald, on the Drudge Report.
I took a screenshot of it.
I'll pull it up here. I know you can't see it.
Drudge Report. CIA warns Iran attack within 48 hours.
Palestinian intifada drills.
War cabinet meets. Embassies evacuated.
And then it says oil flashes $90.
And then underneath that, it says, is Saudi Arabia trying to sabotage Biden?
Is Biden trying to sabotage the world with World War III? I mean, if you're going to escalate a Middle East conflict, of course, oil is going to go up.
But other than oil, gold has really been the star so far in the last couple of weeks.
Go back to your Trends Journal.
We've been warning about oil prices.
Brent crude going up now for what?
A year? Again, there's one after another.
Week after week, we've been saying this.
You go back several months ago, a couple of months ago, you had Brent crude selling for what?
$73 a barrel.
Now we're about $91 a barrel.
And this is just the beginning.
Because Israel is going...
Oh, I love what they say.
That murderer, that genocidal...
Murderer Netanyahu, Iran better not attack us because they'll pay the price.
It's okay for you to kill as many Iranians as you want.
You can bomb and kill anybody anywhere you want, but how dare you fight back?
They're the chosen people and we chose to kill you, so you can't fight back.
They're going to retaliate.
They're going to retaliate.
You're going to see oil prices.
If oil prices go, our warning, if Brent crude hits $130 a barrel, you're going to see the economy crash and the equity markets crash.
Because this whole thing has been artificially propped up.
People forget, again, tracking trends is the understanding of where we are, how we got here to see where we're going.
Go back to 2019.
Oh, you mean Germany was on the brink of a recession before this happened?
Oh yeah, that's right. Oh, you forgot about all those repos going on and how they were pumping, the Federal Reserve was pumping all that money into the markets because they needed the dough because it was going down so bad?
Oh, you forgot about that. Then the COVID comes, is just keep pumping trillions of dollars into the economy, bring interest rates down to zero, artificially prop up this thing to keep the scam going.
Yeah. People forgot all about this.
So, here we are now.
Israel is going to ramp up this war.
It is only going to escalate.
Back when I was a young man, and maybe you're too young to remember, but I don't know, once upon a time, there was a war going on in Israel back in 1973.
And what did the Arab nations do?
They put an embargo on the oil.
Oil prices skyrocket.
Inflation went through the roof.
I remember as a guy waiting on lines to get gasoline for your car.
Like an hour. If they put an embargo on the oil, it's over.
It's over. And, again, we've been warning, warning, warning, warning, that, forecasting actually, that Ukraine is going to ramp up the war against Russia as they're losing.
And now it's more bombs away into the 15% of Russian oil and gas has been closed down because of the bombings on Russia.
Russian oil fields and gas lines by the Ukrainians.
And refineries and things like that.
Refineries. And Israel bombing Iranian oil pipelines and refineries.
That's right. So they're going to...
This is...
We are...
You know, you said, I hope I'm wrong about the wars in front of everybody's eyes.
Yes. Yes, it is.
But, you know, and I have to tell you, I think this is going to be the last time I'm on your show because you've been very disrespectful in not talking about Taylor Swift.
All right, let's really be stupid.
Let's be a common American jerk.
We don't know anything that's going on.
We know, did Taylor Swift get laid last night?
You know, does her husband...
That's the mentality.
The people have no clue of what's going on.
Yeah, that's right.
Of course, I do remember the Arab embargo, and I remember the inflation that came after that.
I remember our first home was a 13% fixed mortgage, things like that.
I mean, crazy stuff that happened.
And of course, gold went through the ceiling.
Now, that was an embargo.
Of the U.S. primarily because they were angry at the United States, but it had global repercussions for everything.
This could be different because rather than it just being an embargo, you know, they could destroy capacity, which you can't just undo that the next day, right?
If you blow up refineries and oil fields and all the rest of this stuff, once you change your mind and say, okay, we're ready to stop, you can't just stop it right then.
And so this could be even worse than an embargo, I think.
What happens to gold in this type of scenario with oil going up and the economy going down?
And what do they do with the interest rates to try to compensate for this?
Because they're going to want in the next few months to make the economy look good.
After that, Biden is, if he's the president, he's more than content to let America rot and go down the tubes, but he wants it to look good coming in the next few months.
So if oil keeps going up and more unrest happens and there's more destruction there, what does he do to the economy?
When all else fails, they take you to war.
Yeah. We're going to go to war before the elections.
That's my forecast. Okay.
Okay. Yeah.
Wow. Again, these are just some of the articles out just in the last couple of days.
Here we go. Let's see.
Well, CIA's been warning that Iran is going to counterattack within 48 hours, and of course, you know, after this...
Yeah, the CIA, they're so brilliant.
They know everything. I know.
I know. That's what you see all over the media.
Russia and NATO already in direct confrontation.
Kremlin. This came out yesterday. They go on to say that the bloc itself is already involved in a Ukraine conflict. NATO continues to move toward our borders, expanding its military infrastructure toward our borders. In fact, our relationships have now descended to the level of direct confrontation. All right?
Wow.
That's coming from Russia.
That's from Russia's Kremlin spokesman.
NATO continues to fulfill its purpose, which currently, however, in no way contributes to security predictably and stability on the continent.
But on the contrary, it is a destabilizing factor.
That's coming from them.
Then you got another one. NATO summit in Brussels prepares massive escalation of war on Russia.
Quote, Europe now faces war on a scale we thought was resigned to history.
Wow. That's shooting out of the mouth of an arrogant little boy who That's Stoltenberg.
Yeah, the guy that's the NATO security general.
An arrogant little SOB. He goes on that NATO must stand firm on our support for Ukraine.
Allies continue to make major deliveries of weapons, ammunition, and equipment.
Any delay in providing support has consequences on the battlefield as we speak.
Ukraine will become a member of NATO. It is a question of when, not if.
That Stoltenberg at NATO? That Stoltenberg said it'll become a member of NATO? Yeah.
Ukraine will become a member of NATO. It is not a question of when, not if.
It's a question of when, not if.
You ready? Yeah. This is from this Fat Mal's mouth.
Quote, we know that our security is not regional, it's global.
Wait a minute. What's going on between Russia and Ukraine is not global, and it is not regional.
This has been going on since Captain the Great.
Yeah, that's right.
They are ramping up war.
NATO plans a $100 billion fund to Kiev.
Of course, it wasn't just a NATO guy, because I saw that Blinken just said that.
He said, Ukraine will become a member of NATO. And so that means that, you know, that's war.
If they're a member of NATO, and there's conflict between them and Russia, we are, by definition, at war with Russia.
You got it. Yeah.
And Ukraine drone hits targets 1,300 kilometers into Russia.
You ready for this one?
Polish Prime Minister Kutusk warns Europe has, quote, entered pre-war era.
He goes on to say, war is no longer a concept from the past.
It is real. And it started over two years ago.
The most worrying thing at this moment is that literally any scenario is impossible.
We haven't seen a situation like this since 1945.
I know it sounds devastating.
I'm not exaggerating.
If Kiev is lost, no one in Europe will feel safe.
And our job is to nurture transatlantic relations.
And we will support Ukraine.
And he goes on and on and on.
And I was just talking yesterday about the Estonian defense minister.
And in a sense, what he claims he was doing was trying to tamp down the saber rattling and warmongering of Macron.
And he said, well, yeah, Macron says we got to send people, but it's just advisors, you know, like the Vietnam advisors.
It's just advisors, and we've got military personnel from every single NATO nation already in Ukraine, he said.
It's like, whoa. And so now this whole thing about bringing them into NATO, that is a signed declaration of war against Russia de facto to do that.
And they're right on the verge of doing that.
Yeah. Prepare for Putin pivot to invade U.S. says Baltic states.
NATO must be ready for Russian launching, quote, an existential war against the Baltic states.
It's right here.
This is from the diplomat from Estonia.
Again, it's one after another.
They are ramping up war.
These are mentally deranged people.
They're evil people.
Hey, We just had Easter week, right?
Mm-hmm. Where were all the religions coming out for peace?
Yeah, that's right. Where were they?
Where they were locked? Sure. Yeah.
That's right. Well, one person that didn't have Lockjaw was Lindsey Graham.
He was very upset about the fact that they've now lowered the age by two years.
I was surprised at how high the age was for them drafting people.
It was at 27. They lowered it to 25.
But that's not good enough for Lindsey.
He said, you've got to put more people on the front line.
It's like, yeah, right. You know, this guy...
It's Paper Tiger. You know, he goes into the Air Force Reserve.
He never fights anything anywhere.
He retires with the rank of a colonel to get a massive pension.
And he's telling everybody else to go fight and die to the last Ukrainian.
And he's thrown temper tantrums about the fact they're not putting enough young people on the front lines.
Again, you know...
These are the people who are going to be running doing that to us as well.
I mean, he doesn't care about Ukrainian lives, neither does Zelensky, and they don't care about American lives either.
No. And again, these are the clowns telling us what to do.
Lindsey Graham. And they keep quoting this slobby little jerk over and over again.
Hey, Lindsey, did you come out of the closet yet?
Yeah. Yeah. Miss Lindsey.
Yeah. This is your cover of your Trends Journal back in 2011.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Nothing's changed.
Nothing's changed. Yeah.
Yeah. Nothing's changed.
The banks, the bandits are running the world.
It's a criminal organization.
People better grow up and do something.
You better do anything you can in the name of peace because they are going to annihilate us in war.
Again, it goes back to what will Biden do?
Look what happened here. Remember when those three people were killed, those reservists that were on the Jordan-Syrian border a couple of months ago, a month or two ago?
Remember that was big news?
Oh my God, three Americans were killed!
Bombs away over Iraq and Syria.
Yeah, that's right.
When all else fails, they take you to war.
That's true. Yeah, Annie Jacobson, who I talked about this a little bit yesterday, she has written very interesting books in the past about DARPA, about Operation Paperclip and the beginning of this biological warfare stuff that we have here.
She just put out a book about nuclear war because she sees this coming as well.
She said over the years, and she's been highly embedded with all these Pentagon people, you know, for her books and everything.
But she does have some interesting stuff there.
I've not interviewed her because she is something of a limited hangout.
But still, what she has to say is interesting, what is revealed there.
But she says, all these people that I've talked to in intelligence and the Pentagon and everything else, she says, they tell her, we do what we do because we don't want to have nuclear war.
Now, you and I don't believe that.
But that's the idea.
But she said, so she did this talking to people.
What would nuclear war be like?
And you're talking about three people dying, journalists dying at the border.
That's nothing compared to the nuclear war stuff.
She says once you launch these missiles, you can't pull them back.
And it's going to be hundreds of millions of people die right away.
But she said the vast majority of people that are going to die aren't going to die from the explosion as bad as that is or from the radiation as bad as that is, but from starvation.
That will come after that. And that is what they have planned for us.
It truly is amazing when you look at people like Lindsey Graham, how despicable they are and how lightly they hold everybody else's lives because people like Lindsey Graham, they're going to put him in an underground bunker and feed him whatever he wants.
Again, could you imagine being in a bunker and coming out after a nuclear war?
I mean, life got screwed up after the COVID war.
It ain't what it used to be.
Who would want to live after nuclear annihilation?
Yeah, the joke will be on him, right?
John F. Kennedy's speech to graduating students at American University in June of 1963.
It's all about peace.
He goes on to say that if we go to war against the Soviet Union, a nuclear war, life on Earth will be destroyed within 24 hours.
That's 1963.
Life on Earth will be destroyed.
It'll be hell on earth.
That's right. And they don't have a plan, as I see it.
These are just maniacs.
That's true. They're evil, evil people.
By their deeds, you shall know them.
Yeah. It's not like they have a great plan.
Here's our plan. They're mentally deranged.
And I think they're self-deceived.
They're narcissistic freaks. I think they're self-deceived like these people who think that they're going to transfer their brain into a robot and live forever.
You know, I really do think they've sold themselves this line of thought, and they really think that that's going to come off to some degree.
But yeah, they are sociopaths in the worst sense of it.
And if they are able to avert nuclear war, what I see coming is a kind of targeted assassination using artificial intelligence and killer robots and killer drones, like we just saw in this, well, I don't know if that was what was happening with that attack on that food convoy, but we just had released information about a targeted program.
They call it Lavender.
Then there's another one, Where's Daddy?, where they follow somebody home and then take out the whole family.
That type of targeted assassination, using artificial intelligence to track and identify and then take out people, that is a kind of Terminator robot scenario that may be as bad, or if not in a different way, as a nuclear war, I think.
Yeah, again, whatever it's going to be, it's going to be hell on earth if we don't have peace.
Yeah, that's right. You know, how it's going to happen, you know.
Who knows? Again, as I say to people, what's your favorite war?
Did you like the Peloponnesian War?
I like the war, the Hundred Year War.
Wasn't the War of Roses lovely?
I mean, stuff has been going on forever.
And it just keeps getting worse.
Once upon a time, they had catapults, or they were shooting with bows and arrows.
And again, it just keeps expanding.
The weaponry keeps getting worse.
Once upon a time, 1812, Napoleon left Poland with 420,000 troops, young men, to attack Moscow.
Came back with 10,000.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm saying they are maniacs.
They don't think of the consequences.
The weapons that will be used make no difference.
It will be annihilation.
Oh, by the way, this could change like that.
You know how? If the billionaires put billions of dollars toward peace.
Yeah, man.
Like that, it'll change. You can't win without money.
That's the way of the world.
Want to run for office? Oh, they just had Biden over here in New York with Obama and Clinton.
Only raised $26 million.
You're a guy from Texas that lived down there before you moved.
You remember Beto O'Rourke.
A little clown boy.
A little clown boy of nothing.
He only lost the race for governor by spending $100 million.
Yeah. Yeah.
Stacey Abrams, another clown over there in Georgia.
$100 million to lose.
The only way we're going to win is with money.
Can't win without it.
And we need the money for peace.
Else it ain't gonna happen.
Yeah. That's right.
If the billionaires came out one after another, One after another.
You know, one of my tenants who just left was Warren Buffett's son, the Novo Foundation.
Never gave me a penny for peace.
Nothing. Nothing.
And he came to one of my rallies when I had Ralph Nader here.
He treats me like a little guinea from the Bronx.
I'm a nobody, you know. You know who my father is?
You know who I am? I bought on third base and thought I had a home run.
They don't give a penny for peace.
You know why? They're pieces of crap.
That's why. And I'll call it to their face.
If billionaires need to come out for peace, that's the only way it's going to change.
Or unless the billions of people start donating to peace.
That's right. If we don't have peace, it's going to be hell on earth.
That's right. Yeah, you can't even get people to show up for your events.
You can't get people to show up in the streets.
They won't even show up when they see them shutting the farms down.
It's absolutely amazing.
People just sat back.
They're so preoccupied with entertainment and contemplating their navel.
They don't pay any attention to any of this stuff.
They don't speak out. They just hope it's going to go away.
If they ignore it, just like all the stuff that happened with COVID, there's no consequences for any of the politicians who did any of this stuff.
There's nothing that's changing.
And so these people just keep going in their relentless march.
Well, let's find out another way that we can lock people down.
Maybe we can move this to the World Health Organization.
Everything that they do, they continue to leave that in place, and nobody pushes back against it.
Even when they're starving us, even when they're locking us down, stealing our cars, everything in life is being planned to be taken away from us.
And you can't wake people up.
It's amazing. When I was a kid, my father, may he rest in peace, two things.
He used to tell me, when I started learning a little bit, and I started complaining, he said, son, take it easy.
People have little minds.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's true. And that's it.
Yeah. And then I was about 17, 18 years old, and we're eating dinner, and I'm sitting over there.
He's at the table. He goes, you know, son, they say that youth is wasted on the young.
He took a couple more bites and he said they were talking about you.
And I remember when this whole, you know, the millennium generation, when the kids, when the world's going, oh, the children will change it.
They're so amazing.
They're so special.
You remember that?
Oh, yeah. Remember that, Baloney?
You're a kid. You don't know anything.
I'm not the same person I was.
And I pulled a lot of crap in my life growing up.
I used to kill environmental legislation at the height of the environmental movement back in the 1970s.
You know, when I worked for the Trade Association, all I wanted to do was make money.
You start growing up and learning, and you can't stop learning.
I don't know if you ever saw this picture.
This is me picking up Ronald Reagan at 30 years old in Chicago Hilton.
Wow. No, I never saw that.
That's cool. Yeah. I was the number two guy running a major trade association.
Got a beard and all that stuff.
And that was back in the 80s.
Yeah. 1976.
It was two days before he's announcing he's running against Gerald Ford.
Wow. I put on a brunch for him and 16 of our board of directors before he spoke to a group of about 3,000 people with all the major media there.
I've been with presidents, prime ministers, and princes.
I've been on the other side.
Wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
So I'm saying it's a learning process and people have to keep learning.
And keep doing...
People say, what can I do?
Get in the best shape you can, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and try to do something positive in any way you can every day.
And help those who need help.
That's great. That's the only thing I could say.
Yeah, before you came on, I was just talking about a woman, 89 years old.
She went to a clinic here in Tennessee.
She's looking at many years in prison now because of this FACE Act.
But she had been...
Shipped to a concentration camp by the communists, she and her family.
And she kept saying that, you know, if only some of the people would have stood up and done something.
But she says, so I'm going to do that.
She can't stand up anymore. She's in a wheelchair.
But she's going to go to prison if necessary, because she's going to make a stand with this stuff.
They go to this abortion clinic, stand there to stop these helpless kids from being murdered.
And they sing hymns, and they cart her away.
Now the feds want to put her in prison at 89 years old.
She said, I've seen all this kind of stuff.
And she said, if we don't stand up, it's up to each and every one of us to stand up.
That's what she's learned in her life of 89 years.
She's learned that she's got to take a personal stand, even at that age and being frail.
And if she can do that, so can the rest of us, actually.
Yep. Look, I, you know, I'm fighting, you fight, you know, I'm fighting.
I'm the warrior for the Prince of Peace.
Yeah. And this Israel war is totally disgusting, genocidal act in front of everybody's eyes.
Could you imagine if the people in Gaza were Jewish and the Palestinians were doing this to the Jewish people?
Oh! Oh, how terrible!
It's okay, they don't count.
You're only Palestinians.
And I'm tired of this crap that you're the chosen people.
And don't tell me that God gave you this land.
I don't believe in your God.
I'm not telling you to believe in mine.
Don't you tell me I got to believe in yours.
It's a fairy tale.
You stole the land and you keep stealing it.
They just stole, since the Hamas attack, almost 7,000 acres of land in the West Bank.
They just stole another 7,000 acres in the name of settlements.
Well, when you look at their religion, I don't think it's even their religion that they're supporting.
Zion is crap. You look at Ben Shapiro, right?
He goes on with Joe Rogan, and he says, I don't believe any of that stuff about the parting of the Red Sea, but I want the land, that type of thing.
That's what it's about. Keep your Bible.
Moses is a liar, but I want that land that I was promised.
And so we see that over and over again.
The Orthodox Jews, who do believe that, Don't want to have anything to do with political Israel.
They don't want to have anything to do with the military or this war.
So there's a real amazing difference to me with the people of Israel.
The people who believe the Bible or Moses' stuff, they don't want to have anything to do with this.
And yet the people who cynically say, I don't believe any of that.
I just want the land.
I want, you know, Jared Kushner.
Hey, we got a lot of beachfront property we're going to have pretty soon.
And they have them isolated, as we've seen.
This is a deliberate program of starvation and keeping them there.
And I mean, this is not only is it starvation in a concentration camp, but they're bombing them at the same time they're starving them.
It's amazing. So they've overplayed their hand for a tremendous amount, and public opinion is turning against them globally, I think.
I'm telling you, what they've done to themselves, this is going to be the beginning and the end of Israel.
Again, I've read to you before the Balfour Declaration, made up in 1917, brought to you by the Rothschilds, You know, it was in our magazine, the Trends Journal.
I don't know if I have a copy over here, but I've got so much stuff here.
Well, you couldn't have a clear delineation, I think.
Let me read this to you quickly.
Yeah, go ahead. This is from the Trends Journal, 2006.
Regardless of what England's reasons or intentions were, self-serving or otherwise, Crusades 2000, which we have now, was set in motion by the 1917 Balfour Declaration that laid the foundation for Israel.
This is the quote.
His Majesty's government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.
And we will use our best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this objective.
Hey, wait a minute. The murderers from the royal family, His Majesty, where the sun never sets on the British Empire?
Who are you to say what should be going on in Palestine?
Hey, Slanty, shut your mouth.
It's the end of World War I. We threw the Turks out of there.
We're in charge now.
We slaughter people all over the world and we'll tell them what to do.
And you listen to His Majesty because you're a nobody.
So His Majesty declares they have no right to this land.
It's stolen in front of everybody's eyes.
When the United Nations which It was a joke, and still is, declared in 1947, 48-47, that this land goes to Israel.
There were the grand total of 56 United Nations countries.
That was it. That was it.
You got a bunch of clowns declaring that this land is, you're giving it to these people?
Who are you to do this?
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Well, they're also the ones who sowed the seeds for perpetual conflict, even with the Arab nations.
You know, you had these ancient nations of Persia, Babylon, and the Medes, and they were kind of represented by the Iraqis, the Iranians, and the Kurds.
And they split that up.
Well, mostly along the lines, you know, the Persians get Iran and the Babylonians get Iraq, but then they keep the Kurds there and split them between the two.
They don't give them their own separate nation, even though they've been a separate ethnic group all the time.
So that was the seeds of a lot of conflict right there.
And so they were doing that type of thing all throughout the Middle East.
Yeah. You know, when we look at this, Gerald, as you point out, they're trying to push us to war, and there's no question about it.
It's all of these leaders bragging about the fact that they are going to, you know, lay down this, essentially a declaration of war by bringing Ukraine into NATO, and we get the sense of what is happening with us to try to do what we can to push against it.
That's a very important thing for us to try to do.
it's difficult to get our heads around what it is that we can do with it. But let me ask you this, you know, as we were talking about some of the economic stuff at the beginning, talking about gold and other things, you know, when you look at the comments from people in the past, I know Martin Luther said, if I knew that the world was going to end tomorrow, I would still plant a tree today. And in a sense, we all have to kind of take that attitude.
As gloomy as this looks, we have to do what we can to work for peace, but we also have to look to see what is going to happen in terms of money and gold and these other things where we have to provide for ourselves and for our family.
Let's talk a little bit about the commercial real estate thing because you've been way out in front on that and now that is becoming a very repetitive theme throughout all the financial and mainstream media what is happening with commercial real estate and And of course they haven't really talked about the knock-on effects of what's going to happen With a banking industry that you've talked about the small banks. We've talked about that in the past But then there's some other issues as well And that is what is it going to do to the to the cities and
to the people that are living in them in terms Of the fact that these big commercial real estate properties were a huge part of the tax base of these big cities What's that knock-on effect going to look like?
It's going to create the worst banking crisis in written history.
It's going to bring down everything.
Here, the numbers, the data.
A place called Portland, Oregon.
Office vacancy rate?
29%. Before COVID, Portland was a hopping, hot town.
People having a great time?
Dead. New York City?
Again, I'm a guy born in the Bronx, and I'm a New Yorker.
I talked to...
Young people, the women are afraid to go out at night.
City's closing up at 12 o'clock at night.
We used to go out at 1 o'clock in the morning, by the way, back in the day.
Where I am and you've been up here in Kingston, young people are flooding up here getting out of the city.
Hmm. It's a whole different vibe, filled with homeless, migrants, and people out of their mind.
You want to take the subway?
It's a night in Calcutta.
Yeah. So going back to the office building bust, according to the data, the office vacancy rate, now these are empty buildings.
The office vacancy rate of the top cities in America is at 20%.
Hmm. Delinquencies on taxes now in New York City have at an all-time high.
They're not paying their taxes.
They're running out of money.
Yeah, that's right.
So this is going to bring down the cities because they're not getting the tax money from the buildings.
That's right. This crisis is going to be...
Again, these buildings, by the way, oh, we're going to turn them into houses.
No, you're not. The buildings built in the last 50 years are non-convertible.
Again, according to the data.
They're just big, empty, glass-steel structures.
They don't have rooms and, you know, it's a whole different thing.
You can't turn them into it.
It costs more to turn them into it than to knock them down and rebuild them.
So, this is going to bring down the banks.
And you ready for this? Here, this is from the Wall Street Journal.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Manage more than $23 trillion in total with much of its funds that passively mimic indexes such as the S&P 500, BlackRock, and Vanguard each.
You ready? Hold more than 10% of the shares of many banks.
Two companies own 10%.
You got it? Wow.
Yeah. When this thing goes down, the bigs are going to...
The whole thing is a scam.
Yeah. It's a scam.
Wow. And it's not going to be able to be kept up.
It's one after another.
When you look at the data here, this time last year, Silicon Valley bank had gone bust.
Then First Republic and Signature.
Oh my God!
The stock markets went into a frenzy.
Gold prices went... That was three banks?
Yeah. The latest data is showing 282 banks are in danger of collapse because of the commercial real estate loans.
100 times more. Their finest information.
They're hardly reporting it, and no one is saying the consequences of what's going to happen.
And by the way, I suggest for everyone that wants to find out real good information about the criminality of the banking system, you go to Wall Street on Parade.
Wall Street on Parade by Pam and Russ Martins.
What they're putting out, no one is.
No one is. About the criminality of the J.P. Morgan Chase gang, five felonies, convicted of five felonies.
They're deep into this.
Yeah. Wow.
Yeah, I'm looking at one of the reasons I wanted to bring up the consequences for cities.
A recent Zero Hedge article, they went through New York, Pittsburgh, Portland, and LA. What you were saying about Portland being the worst, absolutely right.
As they said, the highest office vacancy rate in the nation at 30% or more.
In Pittsburgh, they said 27%, if you include the subleases.
In New York, It's rapidly grown.
They said since COVID, the vacancies in general have grown by 20%.
But in Manhattan, as I point out, 70% growth there.
And in LA, they said developers are going to build this brand new skyscraper, but instead, this was so bad, it's going to be a 61-story office building.
They said, no, we can't do that.
Instead, they tore down what they'd already built, turned it into a parking lot, and put EV chargers out there.
For all people, this is their fallback position, these electric vehicles and chargers and things like that.
They point out, as you were saying, they said it's just not practical to convert these things to anything else.
And so that's one of the reasons why they tore it down and turned it into a parking lot with EV chargers on it.
And the office vacancy rate, by the way, in New York City is 23%.
Vacant.
Vacant. Yeah. Then you look at the office occupancy rate.
That means how many people going back to work that are occupying the buildings.
Yeah. According to Castle Systems, with a K, 51%.
Wow. Yeah.
Now, all the businesses that depended on commuters, they're going out of business, too.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And what the COVID war did, it destroyed small businesses to begin with because, hey, Walmart, you could stay open.
But, hey, you mom and pops, you've got to close down.
Yeah, I know. All the bigs could stay open, but you've got to close down.
So the COVID destroyed it.
It's going to destroy it even worse.
I'm telling you, David, we are in a crisis, the likes of which we've never seen.
And the smart people know it.
That's why you're seeing gold prices go up.
up. Oh, again, I used to say the 20th century was the American century, but the 21st century will be the Chinese century because the business of America has been war and the business of China has been business. That was until China launched the COVID war in January 2020, you know, the Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the rat.
They closed down the country for three years with zero COVID policy. China's economy boomed when the murderous little lying piece of crap Bill Clinton brought him into the World Trade Organization.
Officially became in on two weeks after 9-11, so nobody paying attention to that.
GDP skyrocketed.
With every booming economy, they're overbuilt.
It happens all the time.
The economy was overbuilt in the real estate sector, which, by the way, in China, accounts for almost 30% of their gross domestic product.
Wow. Yeah.
By the way, American manufacturing, 11%.
That's all we have. Wow.
70% is consumer.
Going back to China. It was overbuilt.
It was going to have busts.
You always have a downturn.
But the COVID war made a bad situation worse.
Destroyed the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people.
Now let's go back to gold.
The people in China know how bad it is.
Retail sales of gold so far this year in China increased by 24%.
Wow. Wow.
So the people that know what's going on are buying gold, as are the central banks.
Mm-hmm. They know how bad this is.
The whole thing was artificially propped up with money backed by nothing and printed on nothing.
Our debt is increasing a trillion dollars every hundred days.
Yes. We're almost to $35 trillion in debt.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, they're working to take the whole system down.
I mean, what are you talking about? I remember when you're talking about, well, Walmart can stay open, but the mom and pops can't.
And that happened to us when we had a small business.
We had mom and pop video stores.
And we had a storm come through, and we never closed for any reason whatsoever.
The only time that we closed was when power was gone for about four days after a hurricane came through.
Nobody could watch anything anyway, so we didn't open it.
But we had one of our six stores in that neighborhood that had power.
So we went back in and we opened that up.
And then we had the cops come in in the afternoon and tell us that we had to close down.
I said, well, Walmart across the street has opened up.
Well, you have to close down because they're coming here.
I said, well, if they're coming to Walmart, you don't want people traveling, but you're going to let them go to Walmart but not to us.
That experience that we had, that made me so outraged when I saw Trump doing that in 2020 because I'd lived that experience already.
And I know exactly how these people are.
The utter contempt that they have for us, whether it is with war or economic warfare, is just amazing.
And even though you know it, when you experience it, it's a whole other thing.
It truly is amazing. Yeah, people call them bureaucrats.
I call them bureaucrats.
Yeah. And that's who the people are.
The people that are the bureaucrats, they can't get a job in the real world.
They suck into the political system and they become the most arrogant people out there.
That's right. Well, you know, I've said many times to people, you can kind of forget about what's going on in Washington.
You're not going to be able to really do too much about that.
You look at these big cities, and it's going to get really, really bad when they start losing this money.
As they're talking about in this article, New York City's got a shortfall already of $1.1 billion from these vacant offices.
In Boston, these office buildings are 22% of their revenue.
Most of that is going away.
So what are they going to do? They're going to get really nasty trying to, you know, beat the dead horses that are out there, the middle class and the main street businesses and everybody else.
They're going to be coming after them big time, aren't they?
Yep. Yep.
And they're going to, again, the bigs don't pay taxes.
They're going to keep stealing more of our money.
Yeah. Look what happened now in New York.
If you drive down there, you've got to pay 15 bucks if you're driving and you go below 60th Street.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
And it's so stupid.
So stupid. They made all these bicycle lanes in the city.
Are you kidding me? What are you kidding me?
There was bumper-to-bumper traffic before.
Yeah. You don't have bicycle lanes in a city like this.
Yeah. Oh, bus lanes?
I mean, you've got imbeciles!
Again, you keep saying they're planning it.
They're not planning it.
These are morons.
They don't have no plans.
Look at the little clown that was running it before.
This other moron, this other arrogant guy, Adams, in there now.
Yeah, Warren William Jr.
No, no, I'm changing my name to de Blasio to get the Italian-American vote.
Look at that little clown that destroyed the city.
We're one after another.
Bloomberg, rather.
One arrogant...
Oh, I forgot Giuliani.
Look at the clowns!
It's a clown show for all to see who are in death, dumb, and blind.
That's right. Yeah, they think it isn't going to affect them.
You mentioned Giuliani.
He wrote all of this RICO statute, which is a violation of due process.
He wrote all that stuff as part of his career, and now he's being charged with that.
I mean, you've got to love the irony and the payback of this kind of stuff.
These people who think they're going to get away with these crimes forever and eventually it comes back and grabs them big time.
But it's, yeah, when we look at what's happening with that, I mean, people who are living in the cities, as you point out, everybody's fleeing New York City and getting out in New York State or into other states because it's going to really, really get bad in the cities.
And where are all of the squatters?
You know, that's what I call.
They call them newcomers, the illegal aliens.
They want to call them newcomers. I call them squatters because I think that's a better description of what's going on.
And most of them want to go to New York when they interview them at the border.
No, it's heartbreaking. And by the way, here's the other part on this so-called immigration, why they're letting them all come in.
You mentioned Walmarts.
Go to any of these stores. I never go in Walmarts.
I can't stand... Again, I grew up at a time when department stores were beautiful.
You know, B. Altman's, Lord& Taylor, gorgeous places.
And now there are factories you're working into.
Anyway, you go into any of these places, whether it's Target, Marshall's, Home Depot, Lowe's.
Help wanted.
Help wanted. Help wanted.
Help wanted. They want cheap labor.
That's why they're bringing in the people.
They can't get enough cheap labor.
I call us plantation workers of Slavelandia.
This is better than the old plantation system because back then you had to house them and feed them.
That's right. Now you just give them enough money.
Get the hell out of here. Come back tomorrow.
Get out of here. Come back tomorrow.
That's why they let...
By the way, I'm not making this up.
Germany, they're boasting that they have a labor shortage and by letting these migrants come in, it's helping their labor shortage.
They don't have a labor shortage up there or out there or over there.
They want cheap labor.
The big corporations only want cheap labor so the billionaires can get richer.
End of story. Yeah.
Yes, Amazon, with their experience, they said, well, we're going to have artificial intelligence, and it's going to know what you're putting in your cart.
We've got our stores. Just walk out, was the thing they were saying.
Well, it turns out that they've got 1,000 Indians who are watching people shop, totaling this stuff.
They say it's artificial intelligence, but it's 1,000 Indians across the other side of the world that they're paying nothing to to sit there and watch Americans shop and total it up and then pretend that it's something.
I mean, it truly is amazing what these people are doing, isn't it?
But of course, it's not going to end with that.
Whether they use AI or they use people living on the other side of the world, they're not going to be using Americans.
And so all this stuff that they're doing in terms of...
Newsom and raising the minimum wage.
Already you see people being laid off.
You see the prices going up.
But my take on it, what do you think?
My take on it is the real thing that is happening.
Of course, he's got a restaurant that he's part owner with, co-owner with, and they don't have to raise the price of their minimum wage.
I'm looking at this, and since they're focusing on chains, I'm thinking that they want to put more pressure on the chains that have already been looking at replacing a lot of workers with automated robotic stuff in the fast food assembly line, you know, food type stuff.
And maybe that's what he's really trying to do.
He's really trying to pay off Silicon Valley and get the ball rolling on that type of thing.
What do you think? Like you said, jerky, arrogant little guy.
Yeah. You know, going back to the migrants, look at Tyson bragging that they had just hired all these migrants, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
So here's one of my books.
This is an international bestseller, Trends 2000.
I'm going back to immigration.
You were talking about the Indians and people from India doing all the work.
Mm-hmm. The Internet Revolution began around 1994.
Mm-hmm. They needed a lot of labor as this internet revolution is expanding.
They invented a thing called H-1B visas.
I wrote about this in detail.
To bring in all the cheap labor because the Silicon Valley didn't want to pay the Americans the money.
It was all about cheap labor.
I'm Vietnam War era prime draft meet.
That's when they started changing the immigration laws under LBJ, LB Jerk, off over there in Texas.
That's when they started changing the immigration laws because they're drafting all of the young men and they needed cheap labor.
You look at how America's income declined from like 1970 down as all the more cheap labor is coming in.
It's a supply and demand issue.
Simple as that.
And that's what they did.
And they're doing it again.
They don't want to pay us anything.
They want as much cheap labor as they could bring in.
Yeah, I agree. I agree.
And, of course, they want friction with people groups.
I think that's another aspect.
By ramping it up this quickly, I think they want friction.
They know that there's going to be a lot of economic unrest, and they want us fighting each other because we're different ethnic groups and languages.
They want us fighting each other rather than coming after them.
I think that's an aspect of it, too, don't you?
I don't know. Again, I don't...
They don't think ahead.
You know, I was the assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate.
I told you that. Yeah. These are the dumbest, these are the people I hated in high school and college that wanted to be class president and head of the student council.
That's exactly it. That's exactly it.
Yep. They're a bunch of little jerks.
They're little nobodies. Yeah.
I mean, look at them. Who do you look up to?
Oh, a little, yeah, I'll play Chuckie Schumer.
Look over your glass. Hey, look at the little jerks.
They don't have the brains to look ahead.
I'm telling you, all they think about is how can I get more power and how can I get more money?
That's all they're concerned about.
They could give a damn about you.
Yeah, I agree.
There's power and money. Yeah.
I think there are some people behind them that are really running the show.
Yeah. The people behind them are the ones I just mentioned.
No, the people I mentioned are the Black Rocks, the Vanguards, the State Streets.
They're the ones that the Prince of Peace drove out of the temple.
That's right. That's who's in charge.
That's right. Oh, and he became violent.
He became violent because he knew what they were doing to the people.
And then three days later, he's on the cross.
Yeah. Well, it looks like they may have a reckoning coming from what's going to happen with this collapse of the commercial real estate.
As they say, be careful what you want because you just might get it.
They might be getting a payback real good and hard.
Always great talking to you, Gerald.
