	Using free speech to free minds You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show As the clock strikes 13,
	it's Wednesday, the 11th of December, year of our Lord, 2024. We're good
	to go.
	Say, no, we're going to continue with these trials even though we think that Trump may pardon them.
	Is he going to pardon them?
	And why didn't he do it in the beginning?
	And so we're going to take a look at that and many other issues.
	We're going to take a look at the UFOs.
	What is going on in New Jersey?
	It continues to get stranger and stranger.
	And we're going to look at UFOs in general.
	We'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	I'm going to begin with what is happening and not happening in our country.
	And that is any help really for the coming from the government who has all the money in the world.
	I mean, when do they ever worry about what something costs?
	Well, they get very excited about deficits when we start talking about tax reductions, don't they?
	They get very fiscally responsible when it comes to helping people in western North Carolina who are suffering in the cold and snow now that is happening.
	We just had somebody die.
	Another death from the cold.
	And what are they doing about it?
	Absolutely nothing.
	We have seen Biden give a billion dollars a week the last two weeks to Ukraine for war.
	We've seen him immediately after the election.
	He goes to Africa.
	Gives a tin pot dictator there a billion dollars.
	What are they doing for Americans?
	Absolutely nothing.
	And on Breitbart, John Nolte says, well, you know, as people are complaining about this on social media, left-wing politifact has come out to gaslight people and say, well, you know, this really isn't a problem.
	He said, they're telling people that giving money to other countries, giving unlimited amounts of money to war, while they allow Americans to die in their tents in the cold is not an issue, of course.
	Not an issue for these people.
	Just consider how much they hate us.
	They rob us.
	They inject us.
	They tell us, take the injection, you're going to lose your job.
	We'll kick you out of the military, or we will shut this company down if they don't get all of their employees vaccinated.
	Many times we've talked about what happens to a country when more than half the people are dependent on the government.
	We passed that a long time ago.
	And it's not just about welfare.
	It's about corporations that do business with the government.
	They are controlled by the government as well as people who directly get welfare.
	And so, when you look at all of this, as J.D. Vance went there and he said, well, it's not malice.
	I think it is malice.
	I absolutely believe that it is malice.
	As I said before, it is malicious in its neglect.
	It is malicious in its double standard.
	You know, they will lavish money, lavish aid on every other country and on every war, whether it's Ukraine or Israel or you name it.
	They want to have a war everywhere.
	And they go to war with us.
	They look at how they're going to rob us, how they're going to poison us, how they're going to track us and tag us.
	I'm disgusted.
	You ought to be disgusted about this.
	And you watch and see.
	Well, what Trump does.
	Maybe they'll do the right thing.
	I hope they do.
	I'll applaud them if they do.
	But Nolte is looking at the comments that have been made by PolitiFact in order to dispute this.
	It's not a problem.
	You just don't understand how Washington works.
	Oh, we understand how Washington works, and we understand who Washington works for.
	Other countries against our interests.
	So he said, first of all, PolitiFact says that Biden promised a billion dollars to Africa way before.
	Well, there you go.
	We can't break a promise to an African dictator, can we?
	Not if we've got an emergency at home.
	We can't even for that.
	And PolitiFact said right-leaning accounts and some Republican members of Congress expressed outrage that Biden was giving money to Africans while many in the southeastern U.S. are still struggling to recover from Hurricane Helene and Milton.
	Well, yeah, it's just racism on our part, right?
	Oh, you're upset because they're giving money to Africans.
	They give money to everyone but Americans.
	They're concerned about every border in the world but the American border.
	Nikki Haley even said, after pardoning his son and fleeing to Africa, Biden gives a billion dollars of our tax dollars to rebuild homes in Africa when we still have homeless people from the hurricane.
	Tone deaf, she says.
	Tone deaf?
	Treasonous.
	Treasonous.
	But then what about the GOP? Well, there is no criticism for the GOP or for Mike Johnson coming from Breitbart and John Nolte.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	This is simply to score cheap, partisan political points.
	And this is why nothing ever changes.
	They're not any of them, Republican or Democrat, none of them are concerned about the welfare of Americans, only about owning the other side and using it for political advantage.
	And when you look at Mike Johnson, he refused, in the aftermath of this horrific thing, he refused to call Congress back so they could appropriate emergency fines.
	Why?
	Well, because they're in the middle of an election, and that comes first.
	It's only about their elections, and that's why they won't criticize their own.
	It's only about elections.
	And all you need to know about Mike Johnson is just take a look at Western North Carolina.
	They've come back.
	Have they passed anything for funding yet?
	No.
	As a matter of fact, Poletifact says, well, you know, they're fixing to do something.
	They're thinking about it.
	They're thinking about it.
	And they might do something by the end of the year.
	How much longer does it take, Mike Johnson?
	You're flying around on the Trump plane, photobombing these guys as they're eating McDonald's?
	You disgusting slimeball.
	It's one thing I cannot stand, and that is sycophants.
	And if you look up the word sycophant, you're going to see Mike Johnson's picture right there.
	He will do anything.
	Don't label him as a Christian.
	This guy shows no evidence of believing anything that he says.
	He will say anything to get elected, and he will do whatever is in his advantage.
	And so they're not going to come back and help these people.
	They're not going to interrupt their campaigning to help these people.
	And they still won't now, over a month after the election.
	Still have done nothing, Republican Congress.
	But, yeah, Biden is due for tongue-lashing as well.
	And that's the only person who's going to get criticized on Breitbart.
	So, the Plitifact continues on.
	And John Nolte said it's best to read it using the voice of Thurston Howell III. You know, Jim Backus from Gilligan's Island, the billionaire.
	Well, the claims ignore how domestic disaster relief and foreign aid are funded.
	Congress separately determines the funding for each.
	Well, PolitiFact got that right.
	So what's Mike Johnson doing?
	And why doesn't John Nolte criticize Mike Johnson?
	Because he's a sycophant, too.
	Birds of a feather.
	The claims also ignore the $3.1 billion the FEMA has spent so far responding to Hurricane Helene, says PolitiFact.
	Well, what did they spend it on?
	I mean, did they spend it on bonus pay?
	I mean, we saw the very beginning of this.
	Handy said, you know, look at this.
	They're looking for first responders and stuff like that.
	And they're offering people like $8,000 a week.
	And all they're doing is they're staying in these motels.
	Then they stayed in motels while they collected $8,000 a week.
	Then they relocate to the area with...
	Mobile homes, which are prohibited from the people who live there.
	That's what J.D. Vance was saying.
	He said they're not allowing these people to set up mobile homes.
	Well, FEMA is setting up mobile homes for themselves.
	For themselves, not for others.
	FEMA is doing that.
	PolitiFact finally reported the only thing that matters, they said, is that Biden is seeking about $98 billion in new funding for disaster aid, including $40 billion to replenish the disaster relief fund.
	Congress is expected to vote on these issues before the year's end.
	Well, we hope that Mike Johnson and the Republicans are doing something about it, but, you know, they're so busy with their own stuff, they don't really have any time to help the people in Western North Carolina.
	And $98 billion, 40 of it, is going to go into a fund.
	So, they're talking about $58 billion.
	Way less than they've given to Ukraine for weapons, even.
	Let alone all the economic aid.
	They gave them more money for quote-unquote economic aid.
	That's going to go into the pockets of Zelensky and these other criminals there.
	Probably filter back to Biden and his people.
	He says, there's no rational reason, says Nolte, there's no rational reason, no humane reason either, for why homeless American citizens suffering through no fault of their own should come in second place to foreign countries.
	Biden never seems to have any trouble finding money for Africa or Ukraine or for this or for that pet program, while Americans shiver in tents.
	Sorry, we're out of money.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, it's the only thing.
	They run out of money for the border.
	They run out of money for disaster relief.
	Yeah, but always another billion here and another billion there to do whatever they wish because they just conjure this money out of thin air.
	Serial liars like the ones at PolitiFact are only too eager to carry the Democrat Party's water.
	Well, he's absolutely right.
	And Breitbart is only too eager to carry the water of the GOP. And this useless Mike Johnson.
	We know who Biden is, right?
	And the conservatives will criticize Biden, and rightfully so.
	I mean, there's no question about it.
	But they leave people like Johnson alone, don't they?
	It's always just, vote for me and I'll fix the problems that the other guy created.
	And yet, they're both the problem.
	They're both the problem.
	So, let's take a look at the other issues that are happening here.
	Of course, the issue with the border, key issue, has always been the welfare magnet.
	We just had a federal judge block Obamacare coverage for DACA recipients in 19 states.
	And so, a federal judge in North Dakota blocked the Biden administration rule that allowed DACA recipients to sign up for health insurance.
	So, Obama creates DACA. He creates Obamacare.
	Biden pulls them together.
	They'd been barred from getting government-funded health insurance, meaning that their only option was to get coverage through their jobs or through state programs that offer it.
	Others went uninsured or relied on low-cost or free care through community health clinics, says NBC. Well, the question is, how can Obama issue an executive order?
	And they don't talk about this.
	They don't talk about this.
	How can he issue an executive order to not enforce the law and not be called into question with lawsuits?
	And how can he issue this executive order to not enforce the law?
	That's what DACA means, deferred action, right?
	And we're not going to enforce it.
	How can he do that and then Trump isn't allowed to do that?
	And, of course, it's Trump who says he's not allowed to do that because he doesn't want to take the political heat.
	So he asked the courts, and the courts gave him cover on that executive order.
	But it's absurd.
	Attorney General Chris Kobach of Kansas said, Congress never intended that illegal aliens should receive Obamacare benefits.
	How does he know that?
	Well, that's a fact.
	How do we know it?
	Well, because the DREAM Act, which is what the DACA stuff is, the DREAM Act failed to pass Congress twice.
	And that's why Obama did it by an executive order.
	And even NBC says DACA was an executive order signed by President Obama in June 2012 that protected undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children from deportation and gave them work authorization.
	So it was rejected twice by Congress.
	It was an executive order, but we're supposed to believe that Trump could not undo that executive order.
	He didn't have the spine to do it, of course.
	Monday's ruling applies only to the 19 states that were part of this lawsuit, leaving the Biden administration rule in effect elsewhere.
	The 19 states are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
	Interesting.
	South Carolina, but not North Carolina.
	Because I think they've got a Democrat Attorney General there.
	So it's unlikely that the ruling will be appealed because they said Trump is about to take office.
	And as one person reporting this said, given that President-elect Trump tried, tried to end DACA during his first term.
	How do you try?
	Ask Yoda.
	Do or do not.
	There is no try.
	Especially when it comes to executive orders.
	This was an illegal executive order to say we're not going to enforce the law by Obama.
	How hard is it to undo that kind of an executive order?
	Any executive order?
	Meanwhile, DHS Chief Mayorkas has announced that he's got a big job giveaway program for immigrants, of course.
	Not going to do anything for Americans.
	He'll keep coming after his political opponents, the J6 people, continue to arrest them.
	They'll continue to process them, to try to put them in jail.
	And as we even had the Reagan judge said, well, normally you get a couple of months before you get a point.
	No, no.
	Immediate incarceration.
	Got to make sure he gets some jail time before he gets pardoned.
	Well, Mayorkas is announcing a jobs giveaway for newly arrived immigrants to give them work permits.
	What they used to have was work permits for 180 days.
	They've now extended that to 540 days.
	Why not just go for the entire four years?
	I mean, they're pretty close to it, right?
	So, what's the purpose of this?
	Well, we know what the purpose of the open borders is, don't we?
	And we know what the purpose of this flagrantly is.
	Setting up this job thing.
	They want GOP voters, the public, they want the MAGA people as well.
	They want them begging, begging for mandatory E-Verify and a digital ID in order to have a job.
	That's the purpose of the open borders, folks.
	Don't fall for it.
	if if trump wanted to do anything there's any number of actions that he could have easily done not just the daca thing any number of actions that he could have easily done he could have put military people at the border bring them back from afghanistan before that whole thing collapsed in panic he could have kept his word in terms of ending the war and he could have put the military there at the border what do you think that would have done would that have been faster and better than a wall
	yes of course it would have but he didn't do anything uh so uh they want um they want to do everything they can get everybody begging begging for a digital id well we're going to take a quick break and when we come back uh we're going to talk about drones um Mrs. Moody, 1215, says, Can you tell me the website again for the victims of phloxacins?
	A friend of mine's child was just diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
	I'd like to pass the information along to them.
	I don't know.
	There is a website, but I don't remember.
	It's been about three months now.
	If you look up floxies, that's what they call themselves.
	And people have been injured by this stuff.
	And floxens, that type of thing.
	Because it's a whole family.
	They keep changing the name and tweaking the formula just a little bit to make it more dangerous.
	And claiming that, oh, this is not, you know, what was destroying people's lives 40 years ago.
	We had a quarter of a million complaints over just the first couple of years with that, but they don't care about any of that.
	Do Not Obey says Congress is considering providing immunity to chemical manufacturers that are poisoning our food, similar to the immunity they gave vaccine manufacturers.
	Well, there you go.
	We'll see.
	We'll see what happens.
	And Eric, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	Like I said, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about drones.
	And we're going to tell you about how a criminal charge really exposes the lies that are focused around these so-called mystery drones.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	��
	We'll be right back.

	pipette you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Yes, it is a mystery, isn't it?
	What is happening in New Jersey?
	We just can't figure it out.
	We got the FBI on it and everything else.
	It's just another one of these things, I guess, for the X-Files.
	But the FBI, the FEC, not the FEC, what is it?
	The FAA. There's too many alphabet agencies, right?
	Way too many of them to remember.
	The FAA, none of them can figure out.
	The military, the police, nobody.
	Nobody can figure out what's going on.
	Everyone is helpless.
	All of these government agencies, and I'm telling you, as I said the other day, that's the dog that did not bark or bite, and that's a surefire indication as to who's behind it.
	And let me give you another example.
	This is a man, 72 years old, had a drone flying over his home, and he shot it with a 9mm pistol.
	And then they came up and they charged him with felony and misdemeanor counts for shooting down that drone.
	Wasn't that interesting?
	It is highly regulated.
	A 72-year-old retiree used his 9mm handgun to shoot a Walmart.
	Better not mess with Wall Street or the essential big box retailers, right?
	We can shut down the little guys.
	They're non-essential, said Trump.
	But don't you mess with Walmart.
	Ha!
	I've lived that experience, as Luigi said, their lived experience.
	He's so saturated in his joke education.
	But yeah, my lived experience was to have police tell me I had to shut down my business after everything had been shut down for a week, and Walmart was open up across the street.
	I said, wait a minute, you're telling me I got to shut down, but Walmart, oh no, they're essential.
	Well, I tell you, I hit the ceiling when I heard that from Trump.
	Because I've been there.
	I've been there.
	Yeah, you're not essential.
	Only the big guys and their friends on Wall Street are essential.
	So anyway, Walmart delivery drones said, don't you mess with that.
	It can hover over your house.
	It can do anything it wishes.
	So he was at his home, and this thing is over his house.
	And he's waving at it.
	Go away.
	It doesn't go away.
	So he pulls out a pistol and shoots it.
	And the police show up and arrest him.
	Charged him with felony and misdemeanor counts.
	He was charged with discharging a firearm in public, a misdemeanor, and with criminal mischief.
	Because they don't have anything specifically on the books yet about drones.
	So the police have to get creative.
	A third-degree felony.
	Third-degree felony.
	Since damage to the drone's payload system exceeded $1,000.
	Wynn was also, this guy's name, was also ordered to immediately pay $5,000 in restitution to Drone Up Delivery, the Virginia firm and the Walmart partner that owned the drone that he shot.
	He is a former New Jersey fire captain.
	Wait a minute!
	Another New Jersey connection?
	Ha ha ha!
	Calm down.
	Calm down.
	He's a retired fire captain from New Jersey.
	Drone Up employees told the cops that their drone was fired upon while it flew over a residential area.
	A two-man drone-up team was in the neighborhood conducting mock deliveries to attract business and interest in the new Walmart program.
	So, They're doing a mock delivery, and yet he's charged with felony because the drone's payload system exceeded $1,000.
	Maybe he shot the drone and destroyed it, so the drone was worth $5,000, and yet the drone was still able to fly.
	The drone had been flying at a height of 230 feet before it dropped down to 75 feet to demonstrate the deployment of a cable to which a Walmart package would be attached to in the future.
	He was working on his pool equipment, he said, when he heard the drone whirring in front of his home, and after trying to shoo off the drone, he said he retrieved his firearm from a gun safe and fired it.
	Now they say I hit it, so I must be a good shot, he said.
	I like this guy.
	He doesn't take it too seriously.
	When the cops arrested him, put him in handcuffs, he goes, I can't breathe.
	I can't breathe.
	And Joe's kind of laughs.
	Anyway, yes, good guy here.
	He said when they showed up on the police body cam, they got his confession.
	He says, yeah, I shot it.
	How much trouble am I in?
	So they explained that he had past experiences with drones flying over his house, and he believed that they were surveilling him.
	So when the drone-up workers heard the gunfire and saw Wynn, quote, holding a handgun toward the sky, they ran back to their van while the drone returned.
	See, it wasn't destroyed.
	It returned.
	It's a mystery.
	What was the $5,000 damage?
	Did they pay too much for that drone?
	You know, you can get some cheap ones from China, except that you will get harassed by the FAA. If you don't do everything they tell you.
	And they've got extensive rules about what can be done.
	They're very excited about people not flying at night, not flying over other areas, not having a license, not letting them know what you're doing.
	All those are in play in New Jersey.
	The FBI has no answers, they said, quote-unquote, to the mystery drone's swarming skies.
	They said there's 500,000 Americans who are terrified in the area.
	High-density population there.
	For the past few months, says the Express under the UK, mysterious drones have been sighted over U.S. air bases, both in the UK and the U.S., but by far the largest number of sightings have been in New Jersey on the East Coast.
	And, of course, that also includes a military base, Picatinny Arsenal.
	Witnesses describe objects larger than most commercially available drones flying over their home.
	Speculation is running wild.
	There's rumors that it's Russia or China.
	No, if it was Russia or China, they'd be doing something.
	You better believe about it, right?
	They're only ignoring this because it's them.
	A New Jersey resident that NBC talked to said, one goes over and then another.
	And it's not two or three a night.
	It's 30 or 50 a night.
	They have lights on them.
	You can see them.
	Another local said the nightly presence of the drones has become, quote, a little bit of a menacing and creepy thing.
	Yeah.
	Call Mulder, whatever his name was.
	I never watched that show.
	I know about it, but it came up long after I stopped watching TV.
	Anyway, an open letter signed by 20 New Jersey mayors expressed, quote, deep concern regarding the ongoing nighttime drone flights that have been observed across our community.
	But nobody's concerned enough to do anything about it.
	That's the issue, right?
	While the benefits of drone technology are widely recognized when used responsibly, you know, by the right people like Walmart or Amazon, but you shouldn't be allowed to do this.
	And, you know, we talk about responsibly.
	That's, of course, not at night, not over residential areas, not over military bases, not over critical infrastructure.
	And yet all of those are at play here, as I've said.
	So, um...
	They said, despite inquiries made to relevant authorities, we've yet to receive satisfactory answers about the purpose, operations, or safety protocols governing these flights.
	Look, you've got law enforcement officers working for you.
	Do you think they've got some people there in their SWAT teams?
	You know, they've got snipers in most of these places, especially in high population areas.
	Why don't you get some snipers to shoot some of these things down and find out exactly what they are?
	You're the mayor.
	You can do that, right?
	Nobody's going to arrest you for that.
	Nobody's going to arrest the police for shooting down one of these things and finding out what it is.
	Come on, do it!
	The other part of it is, is that, you know, why don't they just take some nighttime footage of this?
	This is over a military base.
	This is over infrastructure and all the rest of this.
	You know, there's a lot of very effective nighttime imagery stuff, especially the military.
	They might even have some at Picatinny.
	Call up somebody at Picatinny and ask, you got any night vision stuff?
	You know, the military loves to brag.
	We own the night.
	Well, maybe that's why they're doing it at night here.
	Yeah.
	So, you could have, I don't know, maybe they don't have them in New Jersey, but in Texas, you've got a lot of people who hunt wild hogs at night.
	Very effective sites.
	They've got to put heavy blankets over their cars so the hogs don't hear them because they're pretty, they're much more evasive.
	Then these UFOs.
	One of these, it's actually the governor.
	One of these politicians is actually the governor, Phil Murphy, who said, well, as soon as you notice him, They disappear.
	You know, kind of like a wild hog in Texas at night.
	Phil?
	Phil, is that you?
	Groundhog Day again.
	Keep hearing this stuff over and over again.
	The FBI said witnesses have spotted the cluster of what looks to be drones and possible fixed-wing aircraft.
	And we have reports from the public and law enforcement dating back now several weeks, but they're not doing anything.
	While there's no suggestion these drones are weaponized, the FAA has imposed drone flight restrictions on the area while authorities investigate the reports, except they're not investigating it.
	This is the only government action that has been taken.
	It's for the FAA to make it a no-fly area, right?
	And witnesses said that at the time.
	They said, you used to have flights across there all the time going to the airport.
	They shut that down.
	What's the deal with that?
	They just shut down other flights instead of shutting down the drones.
	I mean, it just screams government, every aspect of this.
	An aviation expert says, well, let's say that a drone loses control and it goes above 500 feet.
	It could be catastrophic on an airplane in a mid-air collision.
	It could easily take out an engine.
	It could smash into the cockpit.
	So, yeah, we've got to shut this down.
	But we're not going to shut down the drones.
	And so there's a Facebook group that has been set up.
	People who are in the area and they're sharing information and sharing pictures and videos.
	It's got about 20,000 people.
	It's called the New Jersey Mystery.
	All right, NJ Mystery is what it is.
	Now, the interesting thing about this is they said that we put this up, and we put up a couple of these statements, and I'm going to read you a couple of them to give you the gist of it.
	And they said, not only was this post removed from Facebook, but when we moved it to Reddit, they also removed it.
	Folks, I can tell you from personal experience that they pay very close attention to anybody that touches their narrative in a way to expose it.
	They watch everything.
	And so the fact that they would shut this down on Facebook and then shut it down again on Reddit?
	There's another indication that's coming from the government.
	This one, this post that they put up on Twitter, X, the X file, I can tell you right now, they're military drones, our military.
	I have a commercial drone license, and they know when my drone is up.
	After it reaches 50 feet.
	You hear that?
	Because I just told you, the guy said, well, if they get up above 500 feet, they could hit a plane.
	So the FAA is looking very carefully, and this guy who does it all the time says, if I get up above 50 feet, he said, I talked to a friend in the military who also works with drones.
	He said, 100%, these are our drones.
	They would only be used in such excess for a serious reason.
	And he gave examples like maybe they're tracking nuclear fallout from a dirty bomb that went off.
	Maybe they're tracking biological weapons.
	Maybe they're tracking weapons of mass destruction.
	Or maybe they're searching for them in a credible threat.
	He said, I know of two families that left the state to stay with family elsewhere.
	And they are both in the military.
	Guess what?
	Both of the family's husbands are deployed.
	That's why they are going to stay with family.
	So he says, I think that's suspicious.
	Other people joined in with that.
	Said a friend of mine also up and left two months ago.
	He left his business and everything.
	Ex-military.
	Said suspicious is right.
	Another person, now that you said that, I realized I have a buddy who is MIA, who is ex-military and also a florist.
	Another one.
	Up and left to go where, though?
	When we're moving because I'm about to start packing.
	And then finally this one here.
	Does anybody have one of those radiation-level testing devices?
	Maybe something has happened that we're unaware of.
	So it's all kinds of wild speculation.
	And the government's not going to do anything about it.
	Other people have put up a video saying it looks like they're spraying something.
	We don't know.
	Think about this.
	I begin the program by talking about how much our government despises us.
	They will, you know, for their empire, they're worried about every border but our border.
	And they don't care about the people freezing literally to death in western North Carolina.
	Everything is secret to you.
	Has the government experimented on Americans before?
	Why, yes, of course.
	They, you know, very well documented cases where they sprayed the coast of California, where they sprayed things in New York subways to test the dispersion and things like that.
	Sprayed it on people, experimented on us.
	They do it all the time.
	Then there was this thing, what do they call it, Operation Warp Speed or something?
	Big experiment.
	Except they already knew in events what the outcome of that experience is going to be.
	Not harmless.
	So our government despises us.
	Our government would do anything and not tell us.
	So, I mean, they could be working on a weapon system.
	One of the things I thought about was, I don't know what they do at Picatinny Arsenal.
	But if they're testing weapons...
	Drone swarms are going to be the wave of the future.
	It's one of the reasons why you would have so many of these things up there.
	They may be practicing in terms of moving together collectively.
	Just go back and look at Daniel Swires' book, Kill Decision, about swarms of autonomous killer robots and things like that.
	That could be what they're doing, and they could be doing it at night so that people can't easily see what they're doing, just doing it under cover of night.
	Because if they were to do it over the military base, people with telescopes could be able to see what they're doing or whatever they want to do it at night.
	And so that's kind of my first suspicious thing there.
	Mystery New Jersey drones, says the governor, Governor Phil.
	They go dark when they're spotted.
	He said, the most important point Is that we don't see anything to be concerned for public safety.
	Really?
	Well, how do you know that?
	If you don't know what it is, how can you say there's no reason to be concerned?
	They will tell us that there's no reason to be concerned when there is reason to be concerned.
	Just as you saw Clay Jenkins, the Dallas mayor or judge, actually he's a judge, but that's the...
	Not a judge in a courtroom, but that's the title for somebody that is over the highest elected executive official in the county.
	So that Dallas judge, Clay Jenkins, said, don't worry about Ebola.
	But then when COVID came to town, he was the one who jailed Shelly Luther.
	And so here's Murphy.
	He doesn't have any idea what it is.
	He said, the minute you get your eyes on them, they go dark.
	But there's nothing to be worried about.
	Another example.
	This is just the government.
	They know it.
	And, you know, even if they thought it was something to be worried about, they'd lie to you about that as well.
	He said, these are apparently very dark, as I understand it, very sophisticated.
	The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark.
	It's kind of like the COVID pandemic, right?
	The minute you get eyes on their data or the climate MacGuffin, any of these MacGuffins, that's what it's the drone MacGuffin.
	Any of these MacGuffins, as soon as you get eyes on them, as soon as you ask for data, they go dark.
	Not going to show you the data.
	So I don't know.
	Maybe the COVID mutated into a UFO. That's it.
	It only takes a couple of mutations to go from a COVID virus to a UFO, right?
	These are both fictional things.
	I believe in viruses or UFOs.
	So they could easily mutate with just a couple.
	It doesn't have to be a mutation.
	It just could be a couple of press articles.
	You could mutate the virus into a UFO. We're obviously most concerned about sensitive targets and sensitive critical infrastructure, said Phil.
	Phil?
	See, we've got military assets.
	We've got utility assets.
	We've got presidential-elect, one of his homes here.
	That's another asset.
	And they're all about covering their assets, aren't they?
	With lies and other things that they're doing.
	But, you know, they're worried about all this stuff.
	Critical infrastructure, the president's home, the military base.
	But they're not going to do anything.
	They're not even going to look with their night vision or their radar or anything else, right?
	I mean, you've seen thermal imaging, you name it.
	I mean, we've seen some of the clips from some of these jets where they're trying to track something.
	And we know what that looks like.
	We know they've got that, but they don't even bother.
	They don't even care.
	So, they own the night, and they're not worried about this at all.
	The drones, often described as large, brightly lit, and loud...
	Have also been reported over reservoirs, electric transmission lines, police stations.
	Some eyewitnesses say they're the size of small cars.
	You know, I think it's Al-Qaeda.
	These guys are just the most amazing pilots that ever lived.
	And we know that from 9-11.
	Florham Park Police Chief called the drone's presence nefarious in nature.
	But he won't do anything.
	We've got so many trigger-happy militarized cops, and they won't take a shot at this.
	We need to call that guy from Florida.
	He can put a stop to this.
	A 72-year-old guy who shot the drone down from Walmart.
	Unusual phenomena have been linked to the sightings, including a family's report that their car clock changed while the drone hovered overhead.
	Do-do-do-do-do-do.
	And then we got close encounters of the Fed kind.
	Last week, Murphy met with Homeland Security, Alejandro Mallorca, who promised to hire some illegals to look into this.
	So, as all this is happening, we're not supposed to notice anything or ask any questions.
	And then we've got another bill.
	Just as in Tennessee, we had a bill to criminalize somebody spraying something into the atmosphere without letting them know what was going up.
	I mean, you know, we would never have any government agencies doing anything in the air without letting us know what's going on, would we?
	And they all just jeered and everything.
	And so here's the International Business Times establishment media, if ever there was one, coming after a Florida state senator who proposed a bill in Florida to ban weather modification.
	Introduced in response to conspiracy theories about government-made hurricanes, they say.
	Well, there you go.
	You know, no need to debate.
	Just throw around some labels.
	And you're done.
	I mean, we've had, like I pointed out yesterday, there's websites talking about all the geoengineering that's going on.
	There were annual conferences that I covered.
	I remember, you know, over a decade ago, sometime between 2012 and 2015. I remember covering it when I was substituting on radio.
	They were talking at their annual geoengineering conference.
	They said, well, the only question is, who gets to set the thermostat?
	It wasn't a question of whether they could do it or not.
	It's just, what's the temperature that we want?
	And I joked.
	It's like, you know, in your own home, do you want to have the thermostat?
	Your wife always wants it warmer than you do, you know, that type of thing.
	And so it's who gets to set the thermostat.
	And so it's not a question that this is happening, but listen to the way they mock the It's absolutely ludicrous here.
	Senate Bill 56, filed by Garcia in November, it aims to protect against weather modifications, including cloud seeding.
	And they say a supposed practice.
	There's nothing supposed about cloud seeding.
	Come on!
	They go so far in the other direction.
	They totally discredit themselves.
	This bill aims to update licensing regulations and establish stricter oversight for weather modification activities, specifically addressing cloud seeding, said Senator Garcia.
	It is crucial that we clarify this issue, that we openly address concerns surrounding it, not only in terms of atmospheric changes, but also regarding the potential impact on our crops and the air we breathe.
	Well, that's only reasonable, right?
	Except we're not supposed to notice when our government flies stuff around or sprays stuff on us.
	We're supposed to just shut up and go along with the program.
	And if you notice or say anything, you're a conspiracy theorist.
	The bill, which would repeal 13 sections of Florida's statutes, prevents weather modification by banning injection, release, or dispersion of anything with the goal of changing the weather or temperature.
	How about also with the goal of doing harm to crops or people?
	But isn't it interesting that there were 13 sections of Florida law that was going to be repealed?
	Were they already authorized geoengineering before?
	I mean, what's going on with that?
	That's pretty crazy.
	DeSantis, by the way, denied allegations that politicians can control the weather.
	He said it's baseless.
	His spokesperson said, the government controls the weather crowd and the global warming climate change alarmists are two sides of the same coin.
	Unscientific, agenda-motivated, and unhelpful after a storm, he said.
	In the context of this, he says, DeSantis leads Florida in world-class storm response.
	And...
	So the context of that was, you know, let's stop talking about whether or not this was, you know, a directed weapon.
	We're focused on what we can do to help people, you know, unlike in Western North Carolina, where we had a Democrat governor.
	We'll now have another Democrat governor that is going to be there as well.
	But I want to talk a little bit about UFOs.
	I thought this was an excellent article that was on Health Impact News, Brian Shalhavi's thing, but it was actually a reprint of an Australian scientist, a physicist.
	He's got a PhD in physics.
	He gained international recognition for developing the world's most precise clock.
	It's called a cryogenic sapphire oscillator.
	And he wrote a very good article on Health Impact News, VaccineImpact.com, and so forth.
	Just republished it.
	It's very good.
	The article is Understanding UFOs, Military, Interstellar, and Interdimensional Insights.
	And so he's, as he said, he's also a fellow truth warrior, brother in Christ.
	He stood firmly against the tyrannical COVID edicts in Australia.
	He opposed the Australian government from 2020 on, and even at risk to his life and, of course, his career.
	So he said...
	In the introduction to it, he said there's many sightings of multiple UFOs around important military sites, which, you know, we're seeing that up in Picadini Arsenal.
	He said also the U.S. government has covered up truth of visiting aliens and UFOs for decades.
	Well, it all adds to the mystique which might be used to get the masses to comply with authoritarian diktats.
	And that's exactly what it is.
	Problem solution, I believe.
	He said, any discussion on this topic has to be related to the history of the universe as well as the physics of putative UFOs as vehicles that can transverse interstellar space.
	He says, in my opinion, there are only three possible areas of investigation to explain UAPs or UFOs.
	He said, number one, it's military spacecraft.
	Number two, it could be interstellar spacecraft.
	Number three, it could be interdimensional craft.
	He says, if after you've read this, you think there's something that I've missed, please let me know.
	He's not an arrogant guy.
	And he explains in detail his view based on his understanding of physics.
	He said, military spacecraft, for example.
	He said, I wouldn't be surprised if there were secret developments of Russian and American aerial technology that appear to some to be like exotic aircraft.
	He said, with modern warfare developments, he said, especially using drones.
	He said, and this is an article that he had a few years ago.
	Of course, we know that's what's happening with this.
	He said, it's easy to see why many UFO sightings might occur around military bases and military installations when you look at drones.
	He said, perhaps these UAP would fall more into the category of maybe hypersonic missiles, like the Ereshnik missile, the hypersonic ballistic missile that Russia just fired.
	He said...
	That particular one goes at Mach 10, 10 times the speed of sound.
	You know, it actually travels at 2.1 miles per second.
	That's just amazing.
	I mean, you know, if you're going 60 miles an hour in your car, okay, that's a mile a minute.
	This is 120 times faster than that.
	I can't even imagine that, you know?
	I'd be missing exits left and right.
	Next station is coming up in two miles.
	Oh, you missed it.
	Before I could even tell you.
	Could it be this missile is what Iran was referring to when they said we have a weapon that is more lethal than nuclear?
	And, you know, when I showed this, first we saw that, and it's like, that's really weird, and everybody was saying, that's crazy.
	And they said, that's got to be in reverse.
	And somebody put it up in reverse and said, it looks even more strange if you put it in reverse.
	Went back and counted that, and, you know, there are six of those, and there were six warheads.
	He said, you can see the shockwaves in the atmosphere as the warheads are descending at hypersonic speed.
	That's what you're viewing there.
	He said the expanding shockwave as the missile enters the atmosphere.
	It looks like some kind of ray gun being fired down.
	It truly is amazing.
	He said such speeds are previously unprecedented and it would appear to many as very strange, especially when a shockwave appears emanating from the tip, the leading edge of the hypersonic missiles.
	He said to exceed speeds like Mach 10 in the Earth's atmosphere requires enormous energy.
	Enormous energy.
	And very intelligent design to overcome the pressure of the shockwave and the subsequent thermal heating effects on the hull of the projectile.
	Let me stop and think about, you know, we worry so much about fuel economy and, you know, trying to squeeze another mile per hour out of this at the low speeds that we're driving.
	You know, put them in the wind tunnels and make them aerodynamically reduce the drag and so forth.
	Can you imagine the drag when you're trying to go that fast?
	He said, for this reason, most spacecraft only get up to maximum speeds outside of the atmosphere.
	But some UFOs have been observed to have speeds many times as fast as this Oreshnik missile.
	And he said, they also do impossible maneuvers.
	So he said, so what about interstellar spacecraft?
	He said, in this category, there's an issue that underpins everything else, and that's a question of the existence of life in the universe and the evolution of life forms in general.
	He says, if life started on Earth by random chance arrangement of biochemicals in a warm pond on the side of a volcano some 3.8 billion years ago, and if it evolved into all the organisms that we see today on Earth, then surely it must have occurred billions of times on other planets and other then surely it must have occurred billions of times on other planets and other star systems in the 14 billion year He said, that is the logic that is used.
	We've heard that over and over again.
	That's been hammered into everybody.
	Every science fiction thing, every Carl Sagan appearance on Johnny Carson and all the rest of the stuff, they're always hammering that in.
	That's the argument of Richard Dawson, right?
	You know, if we put a monkey at the typewriter and they just type randomly, given an infinite amount of time, they'll produce Shakespeare type of thing.
	No.
	It's illogical.
	He said, well, if none of that is true...
	But if God created life on planet Earth only thousands of years ago, and if he created it in various kinds and with the necessary genetic information to diversify by natural selection into various habitats as conditions changed on Earth, well, then there's no question about interstellar sentient life forms from other planets.
	Secondly, if you assumed that there are other intelligent aliens living on some other planet out there, the question of interstellar travel.
	He said, He said, I intend to read that at some point.
	He says, faster than light travel is pure science fiction.
	Emphasis on the fiction.
	He said, no amount of research in theoretical physics will ever overcome the physical limitations of the infinite energy required.
	You see?
	You know, when he's talking about the hypersonic missiles, it requires a tremendous amount of power to make them go that fast, as well as having to deal with the heat that is generated.
	Think about the energy required to go faster than light.
	He said either non-existent exotic matter is needed, or you have added fudge factors required for this theory.
	Don't be fooled by the nerdy language used in so-called research papers like this one, Constant Velocity Physical Warp Drive Solution.
	He said don't be fooled by illustrations either.
	NASA has created some concept illustrations of a warp drive ship.
	Probably asked AI to do it.
	NASA has had to use an illustrator because no warp drive spacecraft exists.
	The concept is purely hypothetical.
	Creating a warp bubble is just speculative theorizing.
	It's more like a fairy tale.
	But, you know, NASA can imagine dozens of genders, so they've got a head start on the rest of us.
	There are many challenges and limitations which are impossible to overcome.
	Because of known physics.
	For example, the energy requirements are beyond enormous.
	The horizon problem, where the leading edge of the bubble is beyond the reach of the spacecraft, is a significant problem to overcome, and that's an understatement he said.
	There are also allegations of government cover-ups on faster-than-light travel.
	If only we could get President Trump elected, all of this would be exposed, and mankind would be free to travel the stars like Captain Kirk on the Enterprise.
	He's an Australian, so he can mock the MAGA people.
	Make Australia great again!
	He says, all of this is just demonic lying to deceive gullible minds.
	There is a gulf fixed between the stars that is so large that humans have no access to the universe outside of our solar system.
	That was by the design of our Creator.
	And he's also written another op-ed piece, The Love of Science is Idolatry, he said.
	It is.
	And it's a religion.
	Scientism is a religion.
	Oh boy, we saw that religion on display during warp speed, didn't we?
	He says, this means that no hypothetical aliens can reach Earth.
	Well, you might say, well, what about a wormhole?
	Couldn't a super-evolved advanced aliens who have harnessed the complete power from a star build a device that generates a wormhole in space-time?
	Something, you know, like Stargate?
	A wormhole is a theoretical solution to Einstein's field equations, but it does not mean that they exist in this universe.
	There are an infinite number of possible solutions to Einstein's field equations, but very few have ever been shown to exist in our reality.
	And this is the same problem with faster than light travel.
	A theoretical solution does not guarantee a reality.
	He said, the purpose of people talking about interstellar travel is that humans dream of becoming gods.
	They want to control his or her own destiny.
	They want to not answer to God.
	And, you know, this is one of the reasons why you've got the New Agers like Alex Jones and you've got the transhumanists like Elon Musk.
	Coinciding on all of this stuff because, hey, we're going to go stars.
	That's our destiny and all the rest of this stuff, right?
	Rather be on Mars.
	All of this nonsense.
	He says, God created all life and placed it only on the only known planet that actually supports life.
	Many extrasolar planets have been found, and some in the habitable zone of their planets, but not even a tiny blade of grass or bacterium has ever been detected in any of them, nor will it ever be.
	No amount of money wasted on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, the SETI project, searching the heavens, Looking at millions of radio frequency wavelengths with sophisticated radio receivers, radio telescopes, or even optical wavelengths will never result in first contact.
	And again, they spent all this money trying to find a repeating pattern.
	They got fooled with quasars because it was a bipolar magnetic charge or something that's rotating fast.
	And so it created this radio...
	Repeating radio signals.
	Oh, that has to be human.
	And yet they completely ignore the evidence of intelligent design in our bodies and plants and animals, the DNA. How did that just happen?
	The intelligence is all around and within you, and they want to ignore that.
	Look, contact with extraterrestrial life.
	It's not inevitable like they say.
	It is a deception.
	But it's the deception that is inevitable.
	Just as he's talking about Star Trek and he's talking about Stargate and all the rest of this stuff.
	We have been groomed my entire life.
	My entire life.
	I've watched the Hollywood groom us for this deception.
	It'll be a government demonic deception.
	Because the government is demonic.
	Literally demonic.
	These people, their report came out this week.
	They're talking about, oh yeah, we're doing life after death and astral projection.
	All this other kind of stuff.
	All this occultic stuff being done by the military from the middle of the 20th century on to today.
	You had Michael Aquino, an avowed Satanist with his uniform and everything promoted by Oprah Winfrey on her program.
	A guy who, by the way, Apparently, was involved in a pedophile incident.
	A little boy at the Presidio in the San Francisco area saw him and said, oh, there's Mr. Aquino, something, to his grandfather, who was the chaplain on base.
	He says, how do you know him?
	Because he knew him, knew how strange he was.
	And he goes, well, I've been to his house, and he's got a black room or whatever, right?
	So this guy goes straight to the police, and they go there, and yeah, he's got the room just as the little boy described it.
	They start an investigation, and they relocated him out of state.
	He's got Oprah, he's got that kind of coverage and so forth.
	He worked with the NSA. He wrote a book called Mind Wars, because that's what Satan is about.
	So this is a long-prepared narrative that has been interwoven into every aspect of our pop culture today.
	And also, as part of that, it's been interwoven into our minds.
	Sky goes on to say, the reason for all this stuff is the big picture.
	He said, the universe is not a random result of a Big Bang that occurred billions of years ago.
	No, it is the creation of God.
	It is not the product of a disorderly explosion of space, time, and matter out of a singularity.
	You know, we had a tornado in a junkyard that created a brick building.
	Or, you know, tornadoes just open up your window and the wind comes in and all the papers that are all over your desk, instead of them becoming more disoriented and more disordered, they now all of a sudden are organized by category and everything else.
	You ever see that happen?
	Yeah, me neither.
	I think we could say that's not going to happen.
	And that's why he's saying the Big Bang stuff is just as absurd as all of that.
	He said, since the Big Bang never happened, the universe of trillions of galaxies did not evolve out of an initial superheated, super dense plasma, but was the cool creation of a creator who wanted to give his creation, but was the cool creation of a creator who wanted to give his creation, mankind, an idea of And once you realize that the spontaneous origin of life on Earth and the Darwinian evolution is a big lie,
	Everything around searching for alien life and little green men visiting us from other star systems becomes irrelevant.
	It is all satanic lies which have been used to reject belief in a creator God.
	God is the God in favor of mankind as the creator of his own universe.
	So what does that leave us with?
	The third possibility, he says, interdimensional craft.
	Again, because of physics.
	But first, he begins by saying, aliens are visiting us more now than in the past 100 years, when biblical faith was very strong in Western society.
	So why is that?
	I suggest, he said, it's because these lying entities, aliens are portraying themselves to people through occultic practices like channeling and more.
	They are aliens, alright, but they're not aliens from another star system.
	They're aliens from another dimension, hell.
	Hence, the rise in the overt worship of demons and Satan.
	As space exploration technology developed, the lying demon spirits had to change their story.
	They couldn't say they came from Venus or Saturn.
	They didn't pretend to be the gods of mythology anymore.
	They had to move their origin further out into the galaxy, like Zeta Reticuli, a binary star system in the southern constellation of Reticulum, at about 39.3 light years distant from the Earth.
	Zeta Reticuli is known among UFO enthusiasts as the home of a species of alien life forms who visited the Earth in the 1960s and abducted a married couple by the name of Betty and Barney.
	Hill, not Rubble.
	Very often, the modern-day so-called aliens identify themselves with names like Aster or Ashira.
	Very little has changed since the ancient Canaanites worshipped their false gods.
	And again, you know, when we look at this, that's kind of the whole spin of the chariots of gods, right?
	Oh, yeah.
	There was always UFO stuff.
	And I remember when I was at InfoWars, I got people contacting me and saying, Greg Reese is doing this thing about space aliens.
	And he says, Jehovah is just what the ancient Jews imagined a spaceship to be.
	That's the name that they gave this space alien that they encountered.
	It's like, You need to talk to Greg.
	And it's like, I don't ever see Greg.
	I don't know the guy at all.
	I mean, after he started working there after I was doing my show in the morning, I didn't see anybody there.
	But yeah, I mean, I was absolutely amazed that he put that out.
	Anyway, pray for him.
	But it's also what you see with David Icke.
	You know, it's this whole charity of the gods thing.
	They're really space aliens.
	That's the assumption.
	There's got to be space aliens.
	Why?
	Well, because TV and movies have told me so.
	So there really were space aliens.
	We're smart enough to know that now.
	And the ancient people thought they were gods or demons or whatever.
	Or there's another alternative.
	Maybe they really are demons, and maybe they're telling us that they're space aliens.
	Laying that foundation, right?
	Through TV. Wouldn't be like the first time that we used TV to deceive and entrap people, right?
	Can demonic alien entities materialize in this realm?
	In our 3D world, he asks.
	He says, well, yes, they can.
	They now present themselves as scientifically advanced race from another star system.
	Of course, you have to voluntarily give yourself over to them.
	They entice humans through trickery and deception.
	Satan in the form of a serpent in the Garden of Eden was a good example.
	The snake could speak Eden's language.
	Oh, so is it a snake or is it something else?
	Can alien interdimensional spacecraft materialize in a 3D world?
	Yes, it would appear that they can.
	Many demon practices are associated with manifesting demons and various paraphernalia.
	If you look at the story of Exodus, right?
	What do the magicians do?
	Well, they're able to turn their staff into snakes, just like Moses.
	Of course, he's swallowed theirs up, but that type of thing has been around for quite some time.
	Why not a UFO or a UAP-type craft, if they can do that with other things?
	So let's briefly think about the physics, though, some of these observed objects.
	So that's his theological perspective.
	I share it.
	But what about the physics of interspatial travel and interdimensional travel?
	I mean, does that argue that these things are interdimensional and not physical?
	He said, assuming they're material objects and therefore they have mass, Do they experience material forces that are all known objects experienced on the Earth and in the solar system?
	They've been observed to do instantaneous U-turns.
	That would imply that the occupants experienced near infinite forces while decelerating and accelerating.
	They also have been observed to disappear and to reappear, to rematerialize some distance away with no time lag.
	So he says no object or vehicle with mass could do anything like that.
	These alien craft must be massless, and they have to move in another dimension outside of our spatial three dimensions.
	Also, they must be massless in order to levitate in Earth's gravitational field, which they seem to do.
	Therefore, they can't be made of normal matter.
	And so what does interdimensional mean?
	Well, it sounds more acceptable than it's coming out of the abyss or whatever, but it's been proposed by other people.
	He doesn't talk about it here.
	It's been proposed by other people.
	A lot of people in string theory actually says there's a lot of dimensions, more than just space and time, those four dimensions.
	They propose that perhaps there's 12 different dimensions.
	And so as one individual talked about it, he said, imagine that you lived in a two-dimensional world.
	How would you perceive something that was three-dimensional that came at you, right?
	It might be something you'd only see it.
	You would not see a sphere or a finger or something.
	You would only see like a circle.
	They get bigger or smaller and move away in another dimension.
	And so that's what a lot of people talk about.
	The bottom line.
	It says, in summary, what we have is an alien deception of incredible proportions.
	The whole world is now prepared to accept Lucifer as an alien god from another star system.
	I always found it interesting that Arthur C. Clarke would also fold it in that way.
	If you remember his thing, which is made in like one of these sci-fi channels or something, made it into a production, a Charles Dance production.
	Played the head alien, which looked exactly like the medieval representations of Lucifer with the horns and what the satanic temple is doing.
	With the horns and the tail and the cloven foot and, you know, all the rest of the stuff.
	But they were space aliens.
	It was called Childhood's End.
	And then, you know, it's the usual thing.
	We come to serve mankind.
	But you find out they're actually going to destroy the earth.
	And they are, first of all, concerned in the kids.
	They're going to take the kids away.
	And they're going to use them as a seed for another purpose.
	But it's always about coming after the kids, isn't it?
	And there's always these little hints of where these science fiction authors like Arthur C. Clarke are coming from.
	A lot of allegations and rumors about him being a pedophile, as a matter of fact.
	There's so much talk now of aliens revealing themselves to stop nuclear war and bring peace to the world.
	Once again, Satan is deceiving the nations.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break.
	Before we go, I'll read some of your comments here.
	Soylent Goy, well, people have been screaming.
	What they'll do if a drone hovers their property?
	Now we know the consequences.
	Yeah, they actually came up with, I don't think I mentioned that, they did a plea agreement.
	And so he's going to pay for the damage he did to the drone, basically.
	But...
	They're not going to make an example out of him.
	Perhaps the timing is not right yet.
	Marky Mark, thank you for the tip.
	He says, how could this guy be guilty of discharging a firearm in public when he wasn't in public?
	Since when is being on one's property equivalent to being in public?
	Can someone explain that to me?
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	Jason Barker, I was watching footage of the mystery drones and they have headlights.
	Yeah.
	Because you need that when you're doing interstellar space travel.
	When you're going faster than the speed of light, you need headlights, don't you?
	Are they going to work if you're traveling faster than the speed of light?
	He says, why does an unmanned craft need headlights?
	Well, I don't know.
	But, you know, I would just guess that perhaps...
	And again, I don't know why it would need to have...
	I mean, there'd be other ways that it could sense other things there, perhaps.
	That is one of the interesting things about it.
	Why would they have lights on them, especially if they are trying to do this under the cover of darkness?
	Why draw attention to yourself?
	You know, if you had no lights on it, people would say, I keep hearing these whirring noises over my head.
	And then these things go by and it's like the stars black out for a moment.
	I don't know what's going on with this stuff.
	It is a mystery, isn't it?
	But I do think the government is behind it for whatever reason.
	Jerry Alitalo says the Walmart drone was carrying, delivering the same fruitcake.
	Which has been traveling around the earth for decades as an unwanted gift.
	There you go.
	A lot of talk about fruitcake ideas today, isn't it?
	Koalimo says, I wonder if Walmart will sell its images and video to the insurance company as they fly over your home.
	Or Amazon.
	Amazon loves to market your data.
	Then Liberty will call Liberty Insurance to notify you that your home insurance is canceled because the shingle is off.
	Remember that?
	Yeah.
	Take the aerial photo, and it was actually some solar panels.
	They said, we think your roof is damaged, and so we're going to cancel your coverage.
	It's like, what?
	No, those are solar panels.
	Here's the picture.
	We've had our roof.
	They went out and hired somebody to inspect their roof and make sure the roof was in perfect shape.
	But Liberty Mutual was looking for an excuse to cancel their insurance.
	Marky Mark, thank you for the tip.
	He says, the problem with faster than light travel is that Einstein's relativistic equations blow up.
	Their denominators have C minus V. When V equals C, the denominator is zero.
	When V is greater than C, you have imaginary numbers.
	So he says another problem with faster than light travel is that as the speed of light, C, is approached, the denominator gets very small.
	That yields a huge quotient.
	The mass of the spacecraft increases.
	That's right.
	Everything gets heavier.
	You get time dilation.
	You've all seen it in 2001, right?
	And then you get this weird light show that goes on and on, and everybody's asking each other, what is this about?
	As V approaches C, time dilation increases.
	As the spacecraft mass increases, the propulsive energy also increases.
	And so on.
	No power plant can produce infinite energy, which you would need, for a velocity that is greater than the speed of light.
	That's absolutely right.
	Well, after these science discussions, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	All right, welcome back.
	Karen's got a note here that was from yesterday.
	Grace Notary says, Karen, please help.
	I want to purchase a Christmas music, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that.
	Well, we talked about that a little bit yesterday about, you know, changing the way the website looks.
	And has that been done or we just talked about it?
	I don't know if it's been executed or not, but we're going to have a picture there with a big button at the top.
	If you go to thedavidknightshow.com, thedavidknightshow.com, at the very top, we're going to have a button there for purchasing the album, and I'll make it very clear that that's there.
	And right now, I think it's got a picture.
	And above it, it says click here to order the album.
	But if you click there, the click here is not activated.
	So, you know, it's actually the picture is activated.
	And will take you to where you can purchase it.
	But we're going to make that a little bit clearer.
	I think it was a little bit ambiguous.
	So we're going to clarify that.
	Let's talk a little bit about the J6ers and the Pardons.
	As I mentioned before, here we are four years later.
	And there's no let-up in the prosecutions.
	There's no let-up in the arrests.
	The judges are not going to shut this down, even though Trump has said he's going to pardon the J6ers.
	Does anybody believe that he's going to do it after he threw them under the bus?
	I'm hoping that he will.
	I'm still skeptical.
	And so...
	The Biden administration's so-called Justice Department that absolutely has been weaponized against political enemies is continuing to arrest and to try people for actions that occurred four years ago.
	Prosecutors are pushing ahead with what they consider the department's crowning achievement, the so-called capital siege investigation.
	You know, it's interesting.
	Trump's crowning achievement was the bioweapon shot and the crowning achievement of Biden's Department of Justice.
	It is this political persecution of their political enemies.
	And what Attorney General Merrick Garland describes as the biggest criminal investigation in the Department of Justice history.
	More than 1,560 people More than almost 1,600 people have been charged for federal crimes that have never before been used against political protesters.
	This is the key.
	And as I talked about that the other day, Pat Cipollone, who was a lawyer for Trump, advising him not to pardon people, on what basis?
	It had to be on the basis of the political capital policy.
	that trump would have exposed because these people violated no if you are non-violent protester that is specifically protected in the constitution but of course they don't care about anything in the first amendment trump didn't care about our right to exercise a religion when he shut down the churches biden doesn't care about free speech when he censors people and he's working with social media and everything else to censor people they have nothing but contempt For the Constitution,
	they swore to hold and defend.
	At least 1,000 of these defendants have been convicted either by trial or by accepting plea offers with some 650 defendants ordered to serve time in federal prison.
	Sentences range from a few days in jail to 22 years.
	I think that's Stuart Rhodes who got the longest sentence.
	As the Department of Justice seeks, quote, terror enhancements, unquote.
	At least 16 individuals were arrested.
	Home security camera footage obtained shows a heavily armed pre-dawn raid by the FBI in California October the 17th.
	16 more arrests October the 17th.
	Militarized arrests.
	Shortly after the election, DOJ officials instructed attorneys working on J-6 cases to carry on regardless of the pending change in leadership.
	They said, oppose any J-6 defendant requests for delays.
	Prosecutors are instructed to argue that there is a societal interest and that these cases should be handled in the normal order.
	Well, okay, so there's nothing at all normal about this.
	They're being charged for federal crimes that have never been used before.
	As a matter of fact, they're even going back and using some things that came up with the Enron thing.
	They're very imaginative in terms of their criminal actions, the criminal actions of the Department of Justice.
	Now, these protesters whose actions were protected by the Constitution are There's nothing in the Constitution that allows the Justice Department to do the kind of things that it's doing.
	The Biden Justice Department is continuing to apprehend protesters.
	On December the 4th, the DOJ announced the arrest of a 44-year-old Alabama man, Robert James Bonham, charging him with a range of crimes, including assaulting, resisting, impeding certain officers and obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder.
	If Trump shuts down the department's Capitol Siege section...
	As he is expected to do, Bonham will never go to trial.
	But this does not appear to concern Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
	Appointed by Biden in November of 2021, Graves has presided over the sprawling J-6 investigation and now continues to advance related cases.
	Judges began receiving a slew of defense motions starting the day after the election.
	Look, Trump has campaigned on this, and he's going to pardon people.
	Can't we just wait and see what happens?
	Oh, no, we're going to do it now.
	That's their first priority.
	They don't have anything else that's more important to them.
	And so the judges everywhere With only one exception.
	They said, federal judges in Washington agree with the Department of Justice's approach.
	According to an analysis by Real Clear Investigations, 44 pardon-related motions, including requests to delay trial and sentencing, have been filed since the election.
	But of those judges, with only the exception of Judge Rudolph Contreras, They have denied every one of those pardon-related motions.
	Can we wait until Trump becomes president to see what's going to happen?
	No.
	I want to continue now, and I want to get you guys in jail before that.
	Public defenders filed a motion the day after the election, arguing that their client cannot receive a fair trial in the District of Columbia six days from today due to the heightened public emotion and the highly publicized media attention surrounding yesterday's presidential election.
	They noted that 92.4% of the DC electorate voted for Harris, with only 6.7% voting for Trump.
	The attorneys further insisted that disgruntled D.C. voters could retaliate.
	How about the disgruntled federal prosecutors and judges who are going to lose their jobs?
	Well, the judges aren't going to lose their jobs.
	Should, but they're not.
	They said if jurors believe that Trump is a threat to democracy, that he doesn't take the events of January 6th seriously, that he will pardon those involved in the day, there is a real and significant possibility that their aversion to these views, they will punish Mr. Bosch or use the case to send a message that they disagree with Trump.
	And so they did.
	And especially those people in the Department of Justice and these other federal attorneys who will be updating their resumes on LinkedIn after all this stuff is over.
	After a single day of deliberation, the jury returned guilty verdicts, two felonies, four misdemeanors.
	The Department of Justice has a 100% conviction rate on January 6th jury trials.
	That tells you what a kangaroo court it is, doesn't it?
	No J6 defendant has been fully acquitted of all charges since trials began in March of 2022. Judges also continue to deny all change of venue motions.
	No, we're going to do it here in the District of Criminals.
	Three J6 jury trials are set to begin this week.
	For the trial of one of those defendants, a man charged with civil disorder and four misdemeanors, Judge Amy Berman Jackson recently entered an order allowing prosecutors to describe January 6 to jurors as, quote, an attack on the Capitol, an attack on Congress, and as a riot.
	Think about this, folks.
	This is four misdemeanors.
	You mean attacking Congress is a misdemeanor?
	Let's go for it.
	But they will put you in jail for years for a misdemeanor in the District of Corruption.
	It's just amazing.
	The last time we went to Washington, D.C., I got so frustrated by the traffic there.
	We went there to see the museums, and I got so disgusted by it, we just left.
	We'd driven five hours to get there from North Carolina.
	I said, that's it, I'm out of here.
	And we left.
	But I would not go back today because, I mean, if you get a ticket for jaywalking, look at what these corrupt criminals there will do to you.
	They don't care about the law.
	So one of these guys asked the judge to extend this, but he doesn't.
	So here's some of the quotes from some of these judges about extending this.
	Judge Reggie Walton, the potential future exercise of the discretionary pardon power of the executive branch authority is irrelevant.
	Judge Amit Mehta.
	Defendant's speculation that he may receive a pardon is not good cause to stay this matter.
	It isn't like they've got anything else to do, I guess.
	Judge Paul Friedman.
	Whatever the president-elect may or may not do with respect to some of those charged for their conduct on the Capitol is irrelevant.
	That's their favorite word.
	Judge Colleen Collar-Cotelli.
	Says the court joins others in the district in rejecting the defendant's invitation to speculate about future clemency or charging decisions.
	Chief Judge James Boasberg says speculation as to what the incoming administration may or not do is not a basis for continuance.
	We're not going to delay this.
	And then you have a guy who is a Reagan appointee, Royce Lamberth.
	This guy is now 80 years old.
	No, you're the one who's anti-Constitution.
	Read the First Amendment, pal!
	On December the 6th, Lambert not only, this is the Reagan judge again, not only sentenced Grillo to 12 months in federal prison, but took the unusual move of remanding him into immediate custody.
	Like I said before, put him in jail now.
	Judges usually allow a defendant to report two or three months following sentencing, but to make sure that Grillo spent some time in jail before the presidential pardon spared him, he sent him in immediately.
	Wow.
	Trump appointee Carl Nichols said it would be beyond frustrating and disappointing for the incoming president to issue blanket pardons or anything so close.
	This is somebody Trump appointed.
	Just like he had Pat Cipollone.
	So this guy who's head of all this witch hunt, this political witch hunt, Graves.
	Graves has announced the arrest of at least 10 January the 6th protesters since Election Day.
	Last week, Graves charged at least three individuals for their participation in the Capitol protest.
	And so what we're seeing here is a last-minute escalation of war.
	We've had a last-minute escalation of foreign wars by the Biden administration, trying to push us into World War III before he leaves.
	We have a last-minute escalation of domestic war against American citizens and against the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
	So, but the reality is, is that none of this would have happened if Trump hadn't, first of all, fleeced his followers and then entrapped them as Cowboys for Trump founder said, what Trump did was the biggest entrapment in history.
	He told us to come.
	He told us to go there.
	He told us he'd be there.
	None of that happened.
	And he left them twisting in the wind for his own political advantage.
	The greatest entrapment in history.
	Abandoning these people, these J6 people, while he pardoned Jared's Jewish criminal friends, some of the biggest white-collar criminals anywhere, as well as some Assad people.
	And then, of course, you know, recently appointing Jared's father.
	Who was one of the Jewish criminals, a friend of Jared, that, you know, people always talk about, well, I got friend of Bill and all the rest of the stuff, right?
	An FOB. Well, these people are FOJs, friends of Jared.
	And he pardoned them, and now he's put Jared's father in the position of being ambassador to France.
	But, you know, if you point that out, Breitbart says, you use anything to come after Trump and to criticize him.
	Breitbart, they won't criticize him for anything.
	Even his betrayal, his entrapment, his fleecing of the people, his most ardent supporters, they won't criticize him for that.
	And so the question is, is Biden going to pardon a bunch of people with blanket pardons?
	And a lot of people think he will.
	Who knows?
	Maybe he will.
	We have...
	Trump's lawyer, Alina, talking about whether or not there's gonna be a lot of blanket pardons for a lot of different people coming from Joe Biden.
	You heard Binder say that Joe Biden, was he wrestling with this pardon?
	Do you believe there was a lot of wrestling with the idea of pardoning your son?
	No, and I guarantee you, and you can quote me on this, I'll come on your show when it happens, he's going to pardon himself, he's going to pardon his family, Shifty Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and anybody else who had their hands in the cookie jar.
	I do not doubt it.
	So all we're hearing is leaks of something we already knew.
	They lied to us during the election, the American people saw through it, and now here we are.
	Pardon after pardon will be handed out.
	And I assure you of that.
	Listen, KJP's admitting it.
	More are to come.
	But it's going to be rocking the nation when we see who it is that he pardons.
	Yeah, it's going to be his friends, of course.
	Just like Trump did.
	They're going to leave the little guys alone, but he's going to pardon his friends.
	And they're going to criticize him for pardoning his criminal friends, even though Trump did the same thing.
	And they're not going to criticize him for abandoning his base.
	That's the most amazing thing.
	Yeah.
	Here's the idea.
	How about this?
	What if Biden pardoned Trump?
	And then what if, when Trump became president, he pardoned Biden as well?
	There we go.
	That'd work, wouldn't it?
	Well, no, because then they couldn't have their Hegelian hell that they want to put us into.
	If they wanted to start acting like Christians, if they wanted to try to restore the rule of law, what would you do if you were there?
	I'll tell you what I would do.
	I would pardon the other guys, as well as my own people, that I had betrayed four years ago.
	And I would pardon the other people that had been engaged in this stuff, and I would take the moral high ground, and I would say, we're not going to have this anymore.
	I'm not going to stoop to that level of recrimination, and I'm not going to allow anybody else to do it.
	And so from that position of magnanimity, magnanimous position, I would argue that we're now going to fix the law.
	And I want both Democrats and Republicans to join with me and make sure that we're not going to have a banana republic where the victor gets to throw his political enemies in jail.
	That's what we're talking about.
	Instead, though, he's going to take the precedent that was done by Biden.
	They hand these precedents off to each other like a baton in a relay race.
	And so Trump creates the precedent of gun control by executive order and hands it off to Biden.
	Yeah, I'll run with that.
	And so what they're doing is they're setting up these precedents and handing them off to each other.
	And so Trump believes that he now has justification to politicize warfare as well.
	That's what's really bad about this stuff.
	Again, they need to have somebody who says...
	Not just to ignore it, but to say, you committed a crime, but I'm going to pardon you for it, and we're going to fix the law, and we're going to have a restoration of the rule of law.
	We're not going to have a banana republic with nuclear weapons where we jail our political opponents after they lose.
	But that's what both of these guys want.
	Both of them.
	Biden wanted it.
	Now I think Trump wants it.
	We'll have to see.
	We'll see what happens.
	So...
	James Howard Kunstler talks about this.
	He says, it's not a joke.
	These blanket pardons and the big guy.
	But his analysis, folks, is a joke.
	He is absolutely clueless.
	About what's going on.
	He said, Look, Trump is not ever going to come after Fauci.
	I mean, that'd be self-incriminating.
	He gave the guy metal on his last day in office.
	He gave him the presidential podium as well.
	He says, preemptive pardon idea has that reality optional feel.
	You see, James Howard Kunstler doesn't understand anything at all about history.
	He's absolutely, out of a rabid partisanship, completely ignorant of history.
	He said, none of these people have been convicted of a crime to be pardoned for.
	You don't have to be convicted of a crime, folks.
	I've talked about this over and over again.
	You have the pardoning of Richard Nixon by Gerald Ford.
	You have the pardoning of every Confederate soldier by Andrew Johnson in response to the Insurrection Act itself, which they were weaponizing against the J6 people.
	He knew that was being weaponized for a continuing civil war, and it's like, no, we're going to stop this.
	Not that he was a good guy.
	I mean, he oversaw reconstruction, which is horrific.
	But he wasn't going to start...
	These soldiers who had been out there in the field were battle-hardened.
	And if you took the stupid idea that you're going to start throwing them in jail for an insurrection, guess what they're going to do?
	They're going to grab their rifles and start it up again.
	So it wasn't some kind of magnanimous operation.
	It was simply a reality.
	And the reality is that you don't have to have been convicted.
	You don't have to have been indicted in order to be pardoned by the president.
	And that's what...
	Joe Biden has done that got everybody upset, but of course there's a precedent for that as well.
	An inquiry would have to be launched to discover what laws these three desperados might have broken, followed perhaps by a grand jury to evaluate the evidence and so on.
	No, none of that is true.
	He says Biden himself might have to answer some basic questions, such as what time prior to issuing the pardon did he begin to suspect that some laws had been broken?
	All this is total nonsense.
	James Howard Kunstler has a clue.
	You don't have to have an indictment and a trial to pardon somebody.
	Come on.
	Biden, his term in office, is so close to his conclusion that impeachment might be considered off the table, but he might be subject to prosecution, though, after the clock strikes noon on 1-6-25.
	And it's actually...
	Anyway, he says, so we should haul him in to the federal lockup in D.C. at exactly the moment that Trump pardons the J6 prisoners.
	Will they get to see Joe Biden coming in to the joint on their way out?
	That would be poetic symmetry in that.
	What foolish and stupid talk.
	This guy's like Wayne Allen Root.
	These people like this who ought to know better, who are out there kookifying the MAGA people.
	At the conclusion of the Civil War, he said, Abe Lincoln issued a conditional pardon to Southerners.
	They had to take an oath of allegiance to the Union, but it didn't include military officers and high-ranking Confederate officials.
	Well...
	Andrew Johnson pardoned everybody after that, right?
	That's a blanket act.
	He should continue reading his history books here.
	So, is Trump going to pardon the J6ers?
	And he went on with Kristen Welker, NBC, the Sunday program.
	This is what he had to say at the time about pardoning the J6ers.
	I'm going to look at everything.
	We're going to look at individual cases.
	But I'm going to be acting very quickly.
	Within your first 100 days, first day?
	First day.
	First day?
	Yeah, I'm looking first day.
	You're going to issue these pardons.
	These people have been there, how long is it, three or four years?
	You know, by the way, they've been in there for years, and they're in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn't even be allowed to be open.
	That's right.
	Thanks to you.
	Thanks to you.
	The ordeal they've gone through for the last four years, and whenever you get indicted, you raise millions of dollars for yourself.
	But you wouldn't lift a finger to help any of these people that you entrapped.
	But, of course, when we look at reconciliation, now that's going to be on order.
	Actually, there's going to be more weaponization of prosecutions, I believe, because this is what else he had to say about his enemies in Congress.
	And Cheney was behind it.
	And so was Benny Thompson and everybody on that committee.
	For what they did, honestly, they should go to jail.
	So you think Liz Cheney should go to jail?
	For what they did?
	Everyone on the committee you think should go to jail.
	I think everybody, anybody that voted in favor- Are you gonna direct your FBI director and your attorney general to send them to jail?
	No, not at all.
	I think that they'll have to look at that, but I'm not gonna, I'm gonna focus on drill baby drill.
	Yeah, well, you know, you've got people, the MAGA people, putting out stuff like this person's The storm has arrived.
	This is going to be some Q nonsense, right?
	I can smell the panic from here, and it's amazing.
	They want war.
	I don't want a civil war.
	These people are fools.
	Absolutely.
	Again, you could do pardons, you could have reform, but you've got to stop with this cycle of tit-for-tat revenge.
	Trump says, though, I won't go after Biden.
	My retribution will be through success.
	So also in that interview, she said, you named Kash Patel.
	To be the next FBI director.
	He's got a list in his book of 60 people that he calls members of the so-called deep state.
	It includes Democrats like Biden and Hillary Clinton.
	It includes former members of your cabinet, from Bill Barr to Christopher Wray.
	You campaigned on destroying the deep state.
	Do you want Cash Patel to launch investigations into people on that list?
	He says, no.
	I mean, he's going to do what he thinks is right.
	And I will.
	Well, do you think that's right?
	He says, and I will.
	Do you think that's right, sir?
	If they think that somebody was dishonest or crooked or corrupt politician, I think he probably has an obligation to do it.
	But she says, are you going to direct him to do it?
	No, not at all, he said.
	Not at all.
	We have two great people that we have him and we have Pam and Pam Bondi has been like a rocket ship.
	What does that mean?
	Her popularity is skyrocketing like a rocket ship.
	She's very popular and very good looking.
	No, he didn't say good looking, but that's what he means, right?
	She's very popular, very good-looking.
	She said, is it your expectation, though, that Kash Patel will pursue investigations against your political enemies?
	No, I don't think so.
	Do you want to see that happen?
	Well, if they're crooked, if they did something wrong, he said...
	Of course, he said that everything they did is wrong.
	They're criminal, you know?
	Well, if they have broken the law, probably.
	They went after me, you know?
	They went after me.
	That's what he said.
	Yeah, looks to me like retribution, revenge, Hatfields and McCoys.
	Walker said, well, you said President Biden, quote, you're going to appoint a real special prosecutor to go after Joe Biden.
	You said that during that.
	Where did I say that?
	She said, the campaign.
	Where?
	You said that on Truth Social, June 12, 2023. I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States, Joe Biden.
	He says, well, that part's true.
	She said, and the entire Biden crime family is what he wrote.
	Are you going to do that?
	Are you going to go after Joe Biden?
	He says, I'm really looking to make our country successful.
	I'm not going to go back into the past.
	I'm looking to make our country successful.
	Retribution will be through success.
	Well, interesting to see the movements being made by Eric Adams.
	He seems to be a pretty shrewd character.
	The mayor of New York.
	And so he made a statement that he says, I'm part of the American policy, a party rather, emphasizing that his allegiance lies with American values over partisan Democrat lines.
	Well, that's kind of interesting, isn't it?
	He used to be a Republican.
	I didn't know that.
	That was ancient history.
	See, he used to be GOP, and he used to also be a COP, a cop.
	GOP, COP. But after he decided he wanted to be a politician, he needed to be a Democrat.
	Especially in New York.
	And so here is what Adams is saying.
	Those who are here committing crimes, robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people, have been a harm to our country, I want to sit down and hear the plan on how we're going to address them.
	Those are the people I am talking about, and I would love to sit down with the board of czar and hear his thoughts on how we're going to address those who are harming our citizens.
	Open to?
	To hearing what their plan is to deport some of these folks and you think the city, in some circumstances, should cooperate with ICE. You know what's interesting?
	I was talking to the team the other day.
	I want you to all go back and Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
	Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city and what they said in our country.
	They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away.
	That was their position.
	So this is not a new position.
	Because in the era of cancel culture, no one's afraid to be honest about the truth.
	Well, cancel me.
	Because I'm going to protect the people of this city.
	And if you come into this country, in this city, and think you're going to harm innocent New Yorkers and innocent migrants and asylum seekers, this is not the mayor you want to be in the city under.
	Yeah, well, that'll kind of be interesting to see what happens with that.
	Now, like I said before, he was a cop.
	He was a Republican from 1997 to 2001. Then for political opportunity...
	He became a Democrat.
	This may be political opportunism as well.
	Who knows what's going to happen?
	Look, he's got something to offer them, and he needs some help, and it's not just about his politics.
	He has been charged by the federal government for some corruption issues, and he's got a very powerful thing there.
	He can, as a high-profile Democrat mayor, He can start cooperating in this deportation stuff.
	The mayor is scheduled to meet with incoming border czar Tom Homan next week to discuss federal immigration policies.
	His relationship with Trump takes on added significance in light of his ongoing personal legal battles.
	The mayor faces a five-count federal indictment.
	And Trump's incoming administration is poised to replace the U.S. attorney who is prosecuting Adams.
	Trump, who has repeatedly framed his own legal troubles as politically motivated, has expressed sympathy for Adams' predicament.
	So they could have a common cause there.
	And they could use atoms to help further their whatever it is that they want to do in terms of being shown to arrest people.
	I mean, they're spending, I forget how many billions of dollars to warehouse in very good accommodations people who are illegal aliens.
	I mean, that'd be one thing he could do.
	But you know, that's the interesting thing.
	They will come up with all kinds of law enforcement options.
	You know, all kinds of raids and arrests and things like that, but they won't stop handing out money.
	Why are those people coming here?
	For the money.
	For the money.
	Stop handing out the money.
	Show me the money.
	Follow the money.
	It's the money, stupid.
	And so Trump had this to say about citizenship in this interview that aired on Sunday.
	You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one.
	Is that still your plan?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	The 14th Amendment, though, says that, quote, all persons born in the United States are citizens.
	Can you get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action?
	Well, we're going to have to get a change.
	We'll maybe have to go back to the people.
	But we have to end it.
	We're the only country that has it.
	Through an executive action?
	You know, we're the only country that has it.
	You know, if somebody says a foot, one foot, you don't need to, on our land.
	Congratulations, you are now a citizen of the United States of America.
	Yes, we're going to end that because it's ridiculous.
	Well, you know, it's not in the Constitution.
	He doesn't know enough to argue back against that, but it's not.
	The phrase, subject to the jurisdiction, no, was put in there because they said, well, we don't want somebody who's here legally as an ambassador.
	If they have children here, those children don't become an American citizen and so forth and so on.
	And the comments around the enactment of the 14th Amendment made that very clear.
	And the purpose of the 14th Amendment was not to create anchor babies.
	The purpose of the 14th Amendment was to give full legal citizenship to the newly freed slaves.
	It's pretty clear.
	And these people are twisting it as they do everything else to say that there is a constitutional mandate that we have to have.
	And of course, there's a lot of court cases in the past that would show that that is not clearly the case.
	Anyway, when you look at the back and forth and the motivation of Trump, again, he doesn't really know much about the Constitution that he's saying, well, we'll change it.
	We'll change the 14th Amendment.
	You don't need to change the 14th Amendment.
	You need to change people's misinterpretation of it.
	They're wiggle room.
	It's pretty easy to look at what the original intent was as well as what the actual text says.
	The Constitution is not a living document.
	It means what it says.
	And it's pretty clear.
	When you say it's a living document, you're just saying that because you want to ignore it.
	And so, Jon Stewart had a hilarious take on Trump's character because, you know, he went to the reopening of Notre Dame and it was, Jon Stewart has a strange pronunciation of that, something like not-redame is what he called it or something.
	I mean, he was not joking.
	But what happened there at the opening ceremony, I'm going to play that for you here if I can find it.
	Yeah, here it is.
	Trump was apparently traveling with his predecessor's wife, attending the opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral with Jill Biden.
	It was a rare moment of conciliation, one that would have given this country hope had it not immediately been undermined by the returning president releasing an actual cologne ad belittling and sexualizing said moment.
	The caption there is saying, a fragrance your enemies can't resist.
	The men's cologne and women's perfume are both selling for $199.
	You f***ing won!
	You won!
	You don't have to push merch anymore!
	I find it hard to believe I'm saying this, but...
	It's beneath you.
	I mean, for God's sakes, you don't see Jolani out there pushing product?
	I conquered Syria, and now you can conquer dry hair follicles with more wine of ear oil.
	That's my problem.
	I don't push merchandise enough.
	I mean, you know, these people who've won wars and elections, they push their merchandise.
	Yeah, Trump is just a celebrity.
	He's an actor.
	He's a hustler, always trying to sell you something, just like Zelensky, as a matter of fact.
	Basically, straight out of central casting, both of these guys.
	Maverick Pilgrim, thank you for the tip.
	It says, people want there to be disclosure concerning UFOs and UAPs as if some reality isn't really real until the government says so.
	It's a very different sort of PSYOP. That's right.
	I remember speaking at an event and there was a guy there who was, he's just a ufologist, right?
	He spends all his time talking about that.
	Full disclosure.
	I said, so, what is that?
	I had to sit next to him at dinner and he just talked my ear off about this stuff.
	He's not a Christian.
	That's the problem, the perspective that he's coming from.
	But he is deep, deep, deep into this stuff.
	I'm Marty.
	Good to see you, Marty.
	I was watching DK on X. He said the screen went black and instantly returned.
	Stream is playing, but chat on the right side is gone.
	Nothing but white space.
	Is it the X-Files or is it my computer?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I mean, that's so many games that are being played.
	On Twitter, you know, by one group or the other, whoever's in charge.
	Nobody believes in free speech anymore.
	Musk doesn't believe in free speech, despite all of the fake press that is out there about that.
	He doesn't believe in it at all.
	Brian Sumner, he's going to be getting massive pressure to pardon the J6ers.
	The longer he waits, the worse for his poll numbers.
	And we all know how he likes good ratings.
	Yeah, I think that the question is, what is he going to do Is it going to be a blanket pardon?
	I know he'll pardon some people.
	But you know what?
	It ought to be a blanket pardon for everybody that was charged.
	And he needs to go further than that.
	He needs to issue a blanket pardon for anybody that was there on January the 6th.
	End of story.
	And I don't care whether it's violent or not.
	Everybody needs a blanket pardon for that stuff.
	Everybody.
	He could even pardon the police.
	How about that?
	And AOC, who almost died.
	That's what needs to be done.
	And that's why I said, as soon as it happened with the Hunter Biden thing over the weekend, that weekend, last weekend, not this last weekend, but the weekend prior to that, I came in on Monday and I said, this is great news.
	Because not only does it remove, you know, give this president with feet of clay, Something to do, but it pushes him to do it.
	How in the world, not just to supporters, who he has completely, over and over again, he's lied to them, entrapped them, disappointed them, but it's been dismissed as, you know, 40 chess, my Alex.
	But his supporters now, what is he going to say to them if he not only doesn't pardon these people, they'll say, you know, well, Hunter got pardoned, and look at the massive extent of that pardon, and you won't pardon your own supporters?
	I think there's going to be so much political pressure put on him because of the Hunter-Biden pardon.
	I think he's really going to be compelled.
	Not just because, look, he can disappoint and even betray and even entrap and imprison his own supporters, and they won't turn on him.
	But it's going to really make him look like a coward if he doesn't pardon these people.
	Tom McDog, thank you very much, says, Help David Knight spread truth across the globe.
	Liking the video.
	Sharing it on social media and subscribing, thank you so much.
	Yes, it all does help, and that is one of the key things that needs to be done in order for us to get around this censorship that is out there.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	That's right, boys and girls.
	There's a post-election sale on silver and gold.
	Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold.
	It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their cents.
	Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
	He knows where to look to find silver and gold.
	Yark!
	Be out!
	Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music
	Music
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	you Well, welcome back.
	Little John, thank you for the tip.
	He says, David, do you think there are bots in the Rockfin chat?
	And if there is, how do we get rid of them?
	Well, Karen is, I don't know.
	Well, ask Travis, who isn't here, to take care of that.
	Yeah, and so, yeah, it might be.
	They might be bots, or they might be the breathing, walking kinds of bots.
	Who knows exactly what's going on with that.
	As a guest we have, Eric Peters is going to be joining us in just a couple of moments.
	But before we get to him, I want to talk a little bit about what is happening with Luigi.
	Luigi had his moment.
	And we got arrested, and he had another moment in the spotlight.
	And, you know, there's a lot of people who are going back and forth and saying, well, this is not the real guy.
	The pictures don't match and everything.
	And, of course, the eyebrow picture, I think, is the best example of something that doesn't match up.
	But...
	I don't know if both of those pictures are supposed to be...
	They say both of those pictures are supposed to be the same guy.
	They could have a picture of somebody else.
	But look, people are innocent until they're proven guilty.
	We believe that here.
	I'm just saying that it really does look like he's the guy.
	And here's why I say that.
	Besides his background, and I know a lot of people said, and Whistler said, yeah, but he didn't get rid of it.
	He kept the gun with him?
	This looks like a setup and so forth.
	But I said, you've got to realize just how arrogant this guy is.
	He is the valedictorian of one of the biggest joke schools.
	They call them woke schools, but they're joke schools.
	He's a valedictorian of one of the biggest joke schools out there.
	He believes all of this stuff.
	He's radical, and we've seen what radicalism can do to people over and over again.
	But he truly does buy into all this anti-capitalist stuff as well.
	And we saw a good example of this yesterday as the police brought him up.
	Here he is in the police car.
	They got pulling up.
	He's in it.
	Listen to what he says when he gets out of the police car and the anger that he has.
	He's fighting his extradition, by the way, but he's not fighting to say he's innocent. - He's completely out of dust and is exhausted.
	Sounds just like somebody's valedictorian of one of the most woke schools anywhere.
	This is their lived experience.
	Well, one person wrote here, Klippenstein, Ken Klippenstein, Said, I've obtained a copy of the suspected killer, Luigi Mangione.
	By the way, it's Mangione.
	I was surprised, you know?
	Because I thought it'd be like Chuck Mangione, the musician.
	But no, it's Mangione.
	So Luigi Mangione's manifesto, the real one, not the forgery that is circulating online.
	He says, major media outlets are also in possession of the document, but they refuse to publish it.
	And they've not even articulated a reason why.
	He said, they won't explain their rationale for withholding the manifesto, Washington Post, CNN, NBC, New York Times.
	He says, I've written to them, and they won't explain why they're withholding this.
	But they're gladly quoting from it selectively, and they've not answered me.
	So he says, so here's a full manifesto, and I'll just read you some selected quotes about that.
	You can see it yourself if you go to Zero Edge.
	He said to the feds, I'll keep this short because I do respect what you do for our country.
	To save you a lengthy investigation, I state point.
	Now, you look at this and you would think, again, if I were to see this kind of language from anybody other than the valedictorian of that school, I would say, this looks like it was written by the feds.
	But you have to understand, he's been totally brainwashed to love government and all the rest of this stuff.
	He hates corporations, but he does love government.
	He says, frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.
	A reminder that the U.S. is the number one most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly 42 in life expectancy.
	Many have eliminated the corruption.
	Decades ago, the problems simply remain, but clearly power games at play.
	Evidently, I'm the first to face it with such brutal honesty.
	I guarantee you that this guy was wearing a Fauci mask.
	I guarantee you got the shots.
	Seeing many fake manifestos being published, the one published by Ken matches what NBC has reported here, said Van Gogh.
	And so...
	Again, there's a lot of questions about this.
	It said it fits the profile of an activist killer, they said.
	Well, I see it as fitting the profile of an elitist leftist, is what I see it as.
	And so when he gets out of there, you know, you've seen the still pictures of him, angrily screaming.
	He's completely out of touch.
	What is?
	And an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
	You know, I saw that and I thought, how does that compare to what Lee Harvey Oswald did?
	Remember how Lee Harvey Oswald?
	I went back and I looked at the clips of Lee Harvey Oswald.
	He's kind of meek, you know, and he says, I'm just a patsy.
	This guy's not saying that.
	I mean, he's combative with this stuff.
	Which, again, I'm inclined to believe that he may be the real deal that is there.
	But you've got merchandise sellers who are cashing in on all this stuff.
	And you got a lot of people saying he's a hero.
	NBC News reviewed over 100 item listings for t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, mugs, even fake bullets and Christmas ornaments that say deny, defend, and depose.
	They have merchandise that features drawings or images of the shooter taken from the initial video of the shooting.
	You know, hey, if you like this kind of stuff, maybe you could get a sweatshirt that's got a big bloody spot on the back of it for being shot in the back because that's what this guy is.
	He's a back-shooting coward.
	He's a coward.
	He doesn't even have the guts to face an unarmed man face-to-face.
	He's going to shoot an unarmed man in the back.
	The graphic designer behind one version of the merchandise spoke on the condition that his last name be withheld because he feared professional repercussions.
	In a TikTok video with almost 2 million views, he referred to a nickname some people online have started to use to refer to the shooter.
	They call him the adjuster, as in an insurance adjuster, right?
	This is the left.
	And quite frankly, these people are smart because they realize they can sell merchandise into this because the left needs a Trump.
	They need a hero.
	And so they're going to, of course, coalesce around a back-shooting criminal murderer.
	He says, if we're going to give him a badass superhero name, I think he needs a badass superhero logo to go along with it.
	So he created an adjuster logo.
	He's selling the design on two different t-shirts and two hoodies on Etsy.
	He said he got more than two dozen orders in less than 24 hours, making it his fastest selling design.
	See, I guess I need to shoot somebody in the back so I can sell some t-shirts.
	Everybody buy my t-shirt if I shoot somebody back.
	Or how about this?
	How about if I just tell everybody that we're going to stop the steal on January the 6th?
	How about if I stab my supporters in the back like that?
	Would that work?
	How about if I tell you that the vaccine is just sugar water with some adjuvants that I've always told you would get autism?
	How about that?
	So I've always wondered why people root for guys robbing trains, and then you realize how corrupt the banks are, and then you're like, oh, I kind of get it.
	He says, it says something about society that we can relate to the killer more than we can to the billionaire or his family.
	And that's the key thing.
	That's why I talked about it the other day.
	I said, what does it tell us about our society with all of this?
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to join Eric Peters, who is connected and waiting for us.
	Folks, we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Well, All right, joining us now, and it's always a pleasure to have Eric on, Eric Peters of ericpetersautos.com.
	He talks about mobility and liberty, and these are things that everybody needs, whether they realize it or not.
	They need to have private transportation.
	Good to have you on, Eric.
	Thanks for coming.
	Thanks for having me on, David, and preemptive Merry Christmas to you and your family.
	Well, thank you.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, we were just talking off air about the pardons.
	What's your take on all of this stuff about Luigi and the things that are happening there?
	Well, there's a lot of it that's fascinating to channel my inner Mr. Spock.
	One of them is the juxtaposition between the way Luigi has been lionized in some quarters and the way that Daniel Penny...
	from attacking people again uh was treated and charged you know and and painted as some sort of a villain and of course naturally a racist because the criminal that he intervened to prevent from hurting people just happened to be black so naturally that makes him a racist oh yeah yeah and i talked about that very thing yesterday i i First, I talked about, you know, Luigi, and then I talked about Daniel Perry, and it truly is amazing.
	You know, during the—I didn't follow this as it was going—I didn't report on it, because, you know, I don't typically do that on criminal trials and stuff as they're in process.
	But during the process, it came out that it was actually the cops who let him die.
	You know, he was still alive when they got there, and they chose— They didn't want to get AIDS. They didn't want to give him a health, apparently.
	Exactly.
	Which is understandable.
	Yeah.
	But, you know, they didn't bring any charges against them.
	It was all about race, and it was all about race because of Alvin Bragg, the Soros District Attorney.
	And, you know, when you look at this guy, he was a credible threat.
	He'd been arrested 42 times.
	They had a warrant out for his arrest because he'd beaten up a 67-year-old woman, and he jumps on this thing, and he starts threatening to kill people.
	And it wasn't just Daniel Perry.
	It was a couple of other guys.
	One of them was black.
	Who subdued him.
	It is crazy, isn't it?
	But that is New York, isn't it?
	Actually, I'm encouraged because in New York, in New York City, a jury acquitted him, which is a remarkable thing.
	I think New Yorkers, as blue as New York is, have gotten tired of being accosted by violent criminals when they're trying to get to work riding the subway.
	That's right.
	Enough is enough.
	That's right.
	That's a great point, that even in New York, they couldn't get that.
	So I think people are getting tired of that.
	I think they're really tired of the Soros district attorneys who want to turn a blind eye to real crime and to come after everybody for non-crimes.
	And that's really a big part of that with Alvin Bragg and stuff.
	Well, let's talk a little bit about automobiles, because things are kind of turning your way.
	We've got GM is now shutting down its Cruise robo-taxi operations.
	Mary Barra, that you've talked about before, the CEO, her vision of transforming GM into a tech-driven company with $50 billion from Cruise now seems to be distant, is a polite way to put it.
	Yeah, you know, reality bites sometimes, doesn't it?
	Just a couple of weeks ago, the CEO of the European Combine Stellantis, whose name is Carlos Tavares, was fired.
	He was pushed out of his position because things are absolutely disastrous for Stellantis right now, and particularly for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram trucks, which are the formerly American brands.
	That were bought out by Stellantis a number of years ago, and which were successful.
	But under Tavares, they really went whole hog in on this EV thing.
	And they canceled all of their popular models and their popular engines, and they tried to push these electric things on people.
	And people don't want them.
	They're not buying them.
	And short of the federal government coming in and eliminating all of the alternatives, which they're trying to do, by the way, But people still do have the option of not buying a battery-powered vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, which is a partially electric vehicle.
	And they're not.
	Why would they?
	It just doesn't make sense for most people.
	So, you know, now these dealers are stuck with all of this inventory that they can't sell.
	And some of the brands like Chrysler, this is how bad it is.
	Chrysler has a minivan.
	That's it.
	It has one vehicle in its entire lineup, a minivan.
	And Dodge, you know, which used to be kind of the rock star brand because of the Charger and the Challenger, now all it has is this little crossover called the Hornet, which isn't a bad car.
	There's nothing wrong with it.
	But people generally don't go to Dodge to buy little crossovers.
	You know, they'll go to Toyota or Honda for a vehicle like that.
	So the only other vehicle that they currently have in their lineup that is at all desirable is the Durango, which is a holdover.
	And by the way, that's the last 2025 model that you can get under the Dodge or Chrysler brands or even the Jeep brands that's still available with the Hemi V8 and the supercharged version, the Hellcat version of it.
	They still have that, but the take-home point is they've got basically two cars in their inventory.
	Imagine being a dealer trying to entice customers.
	And you have no inventory, except for the inventory that people don't want.
	And then, you know, they're about to bring out this device, that's what I like to refer to electric vehicles as, called a charger, which needs a charge.
	The charger that needs a charge.
	That can be their advertising slogan, the charger that needs a charge.
	How about that?
	Right.
	And the same problem is besetting Jaguar, Mercedes, and all of these other brands.
	And I told them off the record, people in the companies, look, guys, What you're trying to do here is to make basically another Tesla with your badge on it.
	And what's the point of that?
	You know, you're basically eviscerating everything that made your brand something other than a Tesla.
	But you know, the Jaguar thing is just so cool.
	It looks like a pink air conditioner, you know?
	Well, now, it looks sort of like an early 2000s Chrysler crossfire that somebody stepped on.
	That's right.
	Yeah, from the front and from the side.
	From the back, it looks like an air conditioning unit.
	And they're so tone-deaf.
	You were talking earlier, before we got on the air, about this woke mind virus, as Elon Musk calls it.
	And he's right about that.
	That's actually a really good term.
	That afflicts these car companies.
	You saw that ad that Jaguar put out a couple of weeks ago.
	It's another tranny show, a drag queen story time.
	If you didn't know it was ostensibly for a car brand, you would look at that and go, what?
	What?
	What's that all about?
	They really do believe, I think, in their minds that this is somehow going to promote and prompt people to go to a Jaguar store and buy one of their devices.
	It's delusional.
	It's a real twist on the idea of a drag race, isn't it?
	Sure, right, right.
	I see these people in drag and you race to the store to get one of these overpriced Jaguar electric cars.
	It's all very sad because Jaguar was one of those brands that was extraordinarily passionate.
	William Lyons, who was the founder of Jaguar, said that a car is the closest thing that we'll ever make to something that is alive.
	And he was absolutely right about that.
	You know, the evocativeness of the early designs, like a Jaguar E-Type.
	I mean, that thing, it's just one of the sexiest cars ever conceived and made available.
	And even the Jaguar.
	Karen's brother had a 12-cylinder Jaguar at one point.
	He bought it used.
	It was pretty old.
	They were so magnificent that even though they weren't the most reliable vehicles.
	Somebody once quipped that a Jaguar on a lift is better than most other cars on the road because they were so beautiful just to look at.
	When I was a kid, one of my friends, his dad had an XJ sedan.
	And we would go and pop the hood and just look at the engine.
	It was just a really provocative and gorgeous thing that got you interested in the car.
	It was special.
	It was something different.
	And they just completely frittered that away.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, it used to be Jeremy Clarkson with the Top Gear guys.
	You know, he used to talk about Jag, Jag, you know, and he would always talk about it.
	In the movies, they'd give the Jaguars to the bad guys, especially the Bond movies.
	The Jags would go to the bad guys, and Aston Martin would go to Bond or whatever.
	But yeah, it still had this real presence.
	It had this real personality, and now it's got a drag personality.
	Yeah.
	Not the kind you would want in an automotive context.
	And part of this, too, is because they dissipated the, what would be a good way to put this, the ethnic identity.
	You know, Jag was a British brand, and then it got sold off to Tata.
	No offense to Tata, no offense to Indians, but they're not Brits.
	You know, and they don't understand that cultural tradition.
	And so, you know, now they've turned the brand into this sort of drifting, anomalous thing that really doesn't have any identity any longer.
	Yeah.
	This is everywhere.
	You know, Harley-Davidson is now run by this woke German guy.
	You think a woke German guy understands anything about, you know, Americans and a Harley-Davidson?
	He doesn't.
	So, you know, he's pushing these electric bikes.
	And the idea that a guy who likes a Harley is going to want an electric scooter, because that's what it is.
	An electric motorcycle is a contradiction in terms.
	If it doesn't have an engine, it's a scooter.
	An engine defines what a motorcycle is.
	And, you know, they're just running these companies into the ground.
	And I wrote an article a couple of weeks ago about there's no consequences for this.
	To get back to Carlos Tavares, I think he was paid $40 million for the last year, the full year that he was CEO of Stellantis.
	So, you know, the consequence for him is a cushy retirement.
	You know, if you or I are incompetent, if we are slipshod, if we don't do a good job...
	Anybody, you know, any ordinary person, if you're an incompetent plumber, an incompetent electrician, there are consequences.
	You know, you lose work, you lose money, you're probably going to lose your house.
	But, you know, we've gotten to a point in this country where some of these CEOs are paid regardless of performance, and they're paid to such an extent that it's obscene.
	You know, the idea that you can get $40 million a year, and the company's not performing.
	It's performing poorly.
	You're destroying the company, and you're being compensated.
	And, you know, I feel so terrible for these people who are good people who work at Chrysler and Dodge assembly plants, trying to make good cars, trying to do something productive.
	And they're the ones who are going to bear the consequences for the destruction of these brands.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, I don't keep up with the evolving financial ownership of these different companies.
	Stellantis, what was their background?
	What was the car line that they owned before that?
	Or was it just created as a holding company?
	Oh, Pujol and Renault.
	You know, Pujol and Renault.
	It's a French combine.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	So Peugeot and Renault merged within two...
	And Citroën is part of that family.
	Yeah, it's just, it's a big European combine.
	And it was an inappropriate marriage because, I mean, there's nothing wrong with Peugeot's or Citroën's per se, you know.
	Well, I've owned a Peugeot.
	I would disagree with you there.
	There is something definitely wrong with Peugeot.
	Ethos is profoundly different.
	The people who are running those companies don't really relate to and don't understand the mentality of people who are interested in a car like a V8 Charger.
	They probably regard them with contempt.
	They look at you as a rube, as a hick, some kind of redneck who wants to do burnouts and so on, which is partially true.
	The point is, look, there's a market for that.
	There's nothing wrong with that, right?
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	That was part of the joy and fun, and it's part of what made American cars different.
	You know, you and I, I mean, there was a stark difference when you and I were in high school.
	You know, if you looked at American cars over here and European cars over here, it was immediately obvious what the difference was.
	Now they're kind of the world car, and they all sort of look the same.
	That's right.
	Yeah, imagine a company that has a product line that ranges from the Dukes of Hazzard's General League to a Citroen, right?
	What a crazy combination of the stuff that is.
	And as you point out, that really is a cultural issue.
	We're talking about the British cars and Jaguar and that type of thing.
	I remember, you know, the cheap...
	I bought one of them, a Spitfire.
	But the Spitfires and the MGs and things like that, they had this feel to them that I thought was a lot of fun.
	It was this rawness, this unreliability.
	They had a big personality, a wood dash, teeny, teeny, tiny little car, and all the rest of the stuff.
	All of that was part of the personality, in the same way that a Dodge Charger with this big muscle car is also a kind of personality as well.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And you know, something else that we've figured away, I just wrote an article about this the other day.
	It's an interesting kind of an etymological shift.
	Remember when there were economy cars?
	Oh, yeah.
	You never hear that term used anymore.
	That's been replaced by entry level, and the distinction is important.
	You cannot buy a car, I'm pretty sure, any longer, a 2025 model-year car in this country, for less than $20,000.
	They've pretty much pulled all of the economy cars off the market, and at the same time, while there are a handful of economy cars, or economical cars, I should say, like a good example being a Toyota Corolla Hybrid, it gets 50-something miles per gallon.
	But the buy-in cost is much higher, because now you're paying for this hybrid technology to do things that just an engine could do 40 years ago.
	That's right.
	I referenced the Chevette of the early 80s, which was available with a diesel.
	Now, I know people will laugh, and back in the day, people mocked the Chevette because it took, what, probably 60 seconds to get to 60, and its top speed wasn't much higher than that.
	But it was dirt cheap, and in addition to that, it was incredibly cheap to drive because it got 55 miles per gallon.
	Wow.
	And diesel fuel at that time cost less than gasoline.
	That's all gone now.
	All of the affordable, entry-level kinds of cars, or economy cars, are no longer extant in this country.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that's absolutely true.
	As a matter of fact, I've got a thing here.
	This was put out by NotTheBee.
	They said, Americans are driving older cars than ever, and nobody can afford to maintain them.
	30 years ago, the average passenger car was about 8.4 years old.
	Today, that is 13.6.
	You know, Eric, I can remember when I was in high school, like 50 years ago, Volvo had an ad campaign talking about, well, you know, the average age of a car in Sweden is 11 years, and they show a picture of a Volvo because, you know, we're so reliable and all this kind of stuff.
	And I used to say to people at the time, I said, it doesn't have anything to do with reliability.
	It has to do with socialism.
	They can't afford a new car, you know?
	We were changing out cars after three to five years, I guess it was, that Americans were switching out their cars.
	But part of it was that they weren't made that well, but the Volvos weren't made that much better either.
	It was really that the people couldn't afford to do it because people weren't keeping the Volvos that long in the U.S. We're good to go.
	And they've got a picture of a truck here.
	Let's see, what model truck is this?
	This is a Silverado, 2024 Silverado, EV crew cab, $104,291.
	Or you can get it for just $1,340 a month financing.
	I can remember and date myself here, but this is the ravages of inflation.
	My sister is a good bit older than I am.
	They got married in 1969. They got a house like the mid-70s before the big inflation kicked in at the end of the 70s.
	And they got in at about what was the median price of a home at that time, which was $25,000.
	Can you imagine?
	Yeah, now you can't.
	You can't get an RV for that anymore.
	No, you can't get a truck for that, you know, anywhere close to it.
	But it's amazing.
	And that, again, is all government inflation, government regulation that is pushing this stuff up.
	I've got another one for you that bears on this.
	I have an O2 Nissan Frontier, I think you and I have talked about it, which is a little compact pickup truck, pretty basic when it was new.
	When it was new, its sticker price was just shy of $13,000.
	Well, I got to thinking about the 2024 Toyota Hilux Champ, which I think you and I have discussed before.
	You can't buy it in this country.
	You can buy it outside of the United States, and it costs $13,000.
	Now, here's where it gets interesting to me.
	I plugged my $13,000 original sticker price for my O2 Frontier into the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculator to find out what that would be today in today's inflated dollars.
	And it turns out it's about $23,000 today, which would still be inexpensive for a new truck in this country.
	However, my truck is very similar to the Hilux.
	Both basic four-cylinder, manual transmission, basic trucks, except the Hilux is $10,000 less in real dollars.
	So that's a measure of our impoverishment.
	In order to get something comparable to what you could buy back in 2002 for about $13,000 today, assuming you even could, if they allowed you to buy the Hilux, you're paying essentially that much more to get it.
	It's obscene.
	And I do my best to make people aware of this.
	You're paying $10,000 in regulatory costs and mandates and things like that.
	Absolutely.
	And they gaslight people by portraying, for example, they say the Hilux is unsafe.
	And what that means is that it's not compliant with whatever the jot and tittle is of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Code as it exists pertaining to 2024-2025 model year vehicles.
	So what does that mean?
	Well, that means it doesn't have six airbags.
	It doesn't mean it's an uncontrollable vehicle.
	It doesn't mean it's prone to crash.
	I mean, heck, even the 82 Metro that we were talking about a moment ago, of course, that would be considered unsafe today, too, as far as the regulatory standards go, but millions of people drove them, and they didn't die in them.
	You know, I mean, granted, it didn't have six airbags, you know, and it didn't have all of these bells and whistles and advanced driver assistance technologies that they now require a vehicle to have.
	But we're paying through the nose for it.
	And ironically, in a lot of ways, I think, arguably, we've gotten to a point where a lot of these safety things are making cars less safe.
	Oh, absolutely.
	You and I have talked about that.
	And they're encouraging a passivity and recklessness, in my opinion, on the part of the drivers.
	They're habituating people to not be responsible for controlling the car.
	Because after all, oh, I have lane keep assist.
	I have automated emergency braking.
	I have all these things.
	So I can peck at my screen on the dashboard and I can check my email and I can play music and even watch videos instead of paying attention to my driving and not following the car ahead of me too closely and things like that.
	Oh, I absolutely hate that lane keep assist.
	I've had that on some rental cars, and I think that is an accident waiting to happen in and of itself.
	But you're right.
	These types of things, and we've seen this in the past when they put any like braking stuff on.
	It didn't help with the accident rate.
	As you point out, it just adjusts people's behavior.
	They want you to be less responsible.
	You look at the way they move the Overton window with all the stimulus checks and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's all about a pacification program of people in the West, and that really is what this is about.
	You know, when you're talking about earlier, you mentioned Stellantis and the CEO there.
	Now that he's gone, there's a lot of people there that are talking about, you know, the things that he did wrong.
	They wouldn't say it while he was still there because they'd get fired.
	But a lot of them said everybody wanted to keep the Hemi.
	But he was absolutely determined to get rid of it.
	And so some of them are saying, asking, will the V8, will the Hemi come back?
	What do you think?
	Will they bring it back on a new management?
	I think it could.
	And the reason that I say that is because they are still making the Durango with the V8, which means they're still making the V8.
	They have not yet gotten rid of the tooling and everything that is necessary to make that engine.
	So they could simply ramp things up again.
	You know, I've seen the new charger device, you know, the replacement for the old charger and challenger.
	It's a good looking car.
	They did a really fine job with the styling of this electric charger that they've got on deck.
	And if they were to put the V8 in that thing, I think it would sell like gangbusters, particularly if they priced it reasonably.
	Yeah.
	Look at the money they could save from imitating the sound of a V8. Not to mention your self-respect.
	I never talked to Steve Kuniscus, who's gone now.
	Kuniscus was the guy at Dodge that was largely responsible for the renaissance of the muscle car and all of the stuff with the Hemi and the Hellcats and all of that.
	And that poor guy, he left just after.
	Remember the Super Bowl ad?
	You know, there was this elaborate ad showing the new electric charger and the sound that it was making.
	And oh my god, I don't know what they paid him to do that ad, but it cost him his self-respect, I'm sure.
	I mean, I can't imagine having been a party to that.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	Well, it is a farce, isn't it?
	It truly is.
	Matter of fact, Handy says, hey, Eric, my mom has a 63 Sports Roadster Thunderbird.
	He says it's beautiful.
	Yeah, that was the thing.
	You know, it used to be, as you point out, many times you said, yeah, it's been kind of, you know, anodized all the styling and everything used to have real styling with these things.
	And uglified.
	You know, there was a book I read years ago, I think it was called The Architecture of Doom, and it was about the Nazis, and it was about these brutalist buildings that the Nazis would put together, and the Soviets did the same thing.
	All of these totalitarian regimes, they uglify everything.
	And our, you know, our regime, it really is true.
	There was a time when public buildings, they at least tried to make them look attractive.
	Now, you know, they look, they have this sort of Bauhaus industrial, awful, almost Auschwitzian look to them.
	And the same is true, you know, the same is true with cars.
	They're repellent.
	You know, a lot of them have these gaping catfish faces and, you know, the overall super hyper macho look of the trucks.
	And I know some people like that, but it's really difficult to find a car that makes you smile anymore.
	That's right.
	That you look at and go, you know, wow, man, that's just a great looking car.
	That's a piece of art.
	I'd like to have that in my living room.
	Yeah.
	You know, I'd love to have a Jaguar E-type in my living room.
	Yeah, or on the lift, either way.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Yeah, it is.
	We talk about the architecture, the brutalist architecture.
	That's the thing I really hate.
	I went to the University of South Florida.
	I went to open up like in the early 60s or late 50s or something.
	And so it's all this mid-century brutalist architecture, which is just raw concrete.
	You know, the buildings that I went to class and from the outside, they look like a really cheap imitation of a castle or something, you know, just very...
	Uninviting, very unappealing, just awful and institutional looking.
	And that's the kind of stuff that we have now produced in our society.
	Roger Scruton did a great series about the importance of beauty.
	You know, he's talking about architecture.
	He's talking about art.
	He's talking about music and how all these things have been trashed.
	The word of the year, and I'll just put this out there, warning for the kids, was a term that they developed called inshittification, right?
	To talk about what is happening to everything, whether it's how a device works or what something looks like, that pretty much encapsulates it right there.
	It's not elevating.
	It's not inspiring.
	It instills despair and sadness, and it gives you the sense of hopelessness.
	And this is not a healthy thing.
	And the people who are driving this, I'm increasingly persuaded that they're malicious.
	There's something wrong with them.
	And, you know, they are trying to just tear everything down for the sake of it.
	It's a nihilistic evil, even, kind of mindset.
	I agree.
	Well, you know, when we look at the idea of Antonio Gramsci that we're going to march through the institutions, you know, he said instead of us fighting it out in the streets...
	With a revolution like they did in Europe over class and that type of thing, we need to take over the institutions from the top down.
	And, you know, over the years, you and I have talked about this.
	I really do believe that these people, like this newly departed Stellantis CEO, were fully in on the game.
	And they were willing to sacrifice their companies, I think, for this political agenda.
	I think some of the stockholders and other people had a different idea.
	And, you know...
	It seemed to me like their endgame was that they were going to be one of the last one or two that would be standing, that they would be a favorite of a government either in France or in the United States or Germany or something like that.
	And they'd be given the concession to run the autonomous cars, which looks like that's what Elon Musk is going for.
	But I think this, they, in the words of George W. Bush, they misunderstood the contempt the American people had for their plans.
	And they're going to go out of business before they can make that happen.
	They have a mercenary mindset.
	You could put these same people in charge of a toothpaste company and it would be the same thing.
	And if you look at the automobile industry in the past when it was successful and it was something that made people feel good, you had people like Sir William Lyon in charge of who loved cars.
	And you had people...
	Are we okay?
	Yeah, we're okay.
	I was just telling him there was a comment that disappeared.
	Go ahead.
	And, you know, the founder of Toyota, you know, this was a guy who really loved the vehicle and believed in it.
	And for him, it was a family concern.
	You know, a year or so ago, they edged out Accio Toyota, who was the grandson of the founder.
	And, you know, he had the guts actually to come out, you know, when it wasn't popular.
	And to say that this push to these devices, this bum's rush to electrify everything, is going to be the end of the company.
	And good on him for doing that, for standing up at the time that it was appropriate to do that.
	They are now beginning to come around.
	You mentioned Mazda.
	Mazda was very, to use the word, hesitant about embracing all of this electrification stuff.
	They were dragging their feet more than anybody.
	They're very smart on their part.
	Because they have not committed massive resources to failure, as all of these other car companies have, which has been just completely disastrous.
	Volkswagen and Nissan are on the verge of going out of business because of all of the money that they've lost on pushing these electric cars.
	Ford is not much better off, and General Motors is in a bad way, too.
	This is a cancer that has been metastasizing across the entire industry.
	And we've had our Rhino governor here, Bill Lee, in Tennessee, gave all kinds of money to Ford to do an electric plant just as it's all circling the drain and going down.
	Yeah, the Mazda CEO had made some statements.
	He said the range-extending version of the rotary engine is only offered in certain markets.
	And this is something you've talked about before in the past.
	What was it, Chevy Bolt, I think?
	That had a gasoline engine that was just there to charge the battery, but otherwise it was fully electric drive.
	And, you know, that would have been a perfect utilization for the Mazda rotary engine since it's so compact, wouldn't it?
	Yeah, compact and efficient, you know, and operates at a steady speed.
	speed and its only purpose is to generate electricity to feed the battery and that's you know that's not necessarily a bad idea yeah the volt was a practical electric car which of course is interesting that's why they don't make it anymore because it was actually practical and you know that you know the latest thing that the engineers boy you feel bad for these guys or at least i do the work that they have to do to try to figure out ways to kind of end run and get around everything everything that the government throws at them oh yeah they can't This idea of the plug-in hybrid to deal with these electric car mandates.
	And, of course, Michael Redcard Reagan, the guy who's currently in charge of the EPA, was bemoaning the fact that people aren't plugging these things in.
	In other words, they're not tethering them to the core, which from their point of view is a problem, as opposed to, you know, people just want to get in their cars and drive.
	Well, they want it plugged in because that's their whole game is centralized control.
	They want you plugged into a centrally controlled grid.
	We've talked about that forever as well.
	But, you know, the Mazda CEO just came out.
	He said Americans primarily want gas cars.
	He said even at the end of the decade, he believes, traditional gas cars and mild hybrid models will make up about two-thirds of Mazda's annual sales.
	He thinks that plug-ins...
	Plug-in hybrids and EVs will represent the remaining third.
	In other words, most vehicles will still have gas engines five years from now.
	And when he talks about the mild hybrid models, I think what he's talking about is the rotary engine, they're charging batteries, which we're not allowed to have in this country.
	And the Europeans are shutting this down because they come up with this absolutism You know, zero emissions, and it's the same kind of destructive, authoritarian absolutism as zero COVID. Yeah.
	At the core of this, the problem, I think, is...
	Well, there are many problems, but one of the fundamental problems really isn't range, which everybody talks about so much.
	It's the wait time associated with the charge.
	Yes, yes.
	And this is just not acceptable.
	You know, and they try very hard...
	To equivocate and rationalize and they'll talk about, well, you know, you could recover, what was the latest figure?
	Something like, you know, 10 miles in a couple of minutes or something like that.
	Well, that's not going to take you very far.
	And I can put, you know, it literally takes seconds to pump one gallon of gas into a car.
	And that one gallon will take the typical car 30 miles.
	And, you know, if you pump four or five gallons, which takes two minutes, maybe less than that.
	Now you can go a couple hundred miles.
	Most people are just not going to accept standing there or being tethered to some charger at a Sheetz.
	I mean, who wants to sit at Sheetz for 15 or 20 minutes?
	And it's not just once a week.
	Again, you get into this circle-the-drain kind of synergistic problem because...
	The range isn't much to begin with, which means you have to charge often.
	And since you don't get much charge unless you're willing to wait a really long time, you start out with even less range.
	So now you have to end up at the Sheetz or the Walmart or wherever this fast charger is and sit there.
	I mean, imagine that a couple of times a week, maybe even three times a week, having to go park at a Sheetz for 15 minutes or for a half hour.
	Who's going to willingly do that?
	Well, you know, and Elon Musk is actually doubling down on this thing because he's creating this elaborate thing.
	I'm sure you've seen it in California.
	It's like this retro, futuristic drive-in theater.
	It's a destination where people are going to go to hang out and eat and do social stuff and all the rest of the stuff for a very, very long time.
	But he can't reproduce that everywhere.
	And a lot of people don't have that kind of time.
	You're right.
	You've got to go to work.
	What kind of fantasy world do these people live in?
	I guess...
	Well, I know what kind of fantasy world he lives in.
	Right.
	He's a multi-billionaire.
	For him, work is optional.
	He can if he wants to.
	Most people, on the other hand, have got to be someplace.
	That's right.
	They're expected to be at their employer and ready to work at a certain time of the day.
	They have appointments they have to keep, things of that nature.
	That's just life.
	They don't have an extra hour a week to budget just sitting around to wait somewhere.
	Well, he knows that.
	I mean, that's one of the things he's focused on with this Doge thing.
	It's like, we're not going to let people work from home, that type of deal.
	You've got to be there.
	And so he pushes that with his employees.
	But when it comes to him, he's like in the top 20 on the Diablo video game worldwide.
	So he's got plenty of time on his hand when he's...
	That's the perk of being a billionaire, right?
	That's right.
	When he's not hanging out in Mar-a-Lago, he's got other people running the companies for him.
	I'll be interested to see whether now that he's good friends with Donald Trump, whether Trump is going to rescind the $7,500 tax kickback and eliminate all of the carbon credits that have given Elon Musk so many of his billions.
	Yeah, well, you know, we began by talking about how GM was bailing out of this autonomous cruise thing, but he is doubling down on it and saying, that's going to be, you know, the wave of the future.
	Nobody's going to have any gasoline cars, and nobody's going to be driving their cars, and he's going to own everybody's car, and as we've talked about many times, rent it to you by the ride.
	Meanwhile, the Mazda CEO says customers are just looking for affordable solutions rather than electrified solutions.
	That's the government's Desire for you.
	They're looking for better value, he said, and they're looking for reliable internal combustion engines.
	Boy, he's spot on.
	Absolutely spot on.
	And they also want the spontaneity that attends the freedom of movement that we have taken for granted for so long, which I think it's beginning to dawn on people we ought not to take for granted.
	And what do I mean by that?
	If I wanted to, after we're done with our interview, I can just jump in my truck and go somewhere.
	You know, I don't have to think about, well, have I charged it up enough?
	And have I got enough range to go where I want to go?
	And if I get there, do I have time to wait?
	You know, we as a culture have enjoyed this magnificent, wonderful benefit of just being able to go wherever we want to go, whenever we feel like it.
	You know, you don't have to plan your life around it because you just put some gas in it and go.
	You could literally drive across the country if you felt like it, just because.
	You know, and they wanted to take that away from us.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, it really is, you know, when Karen and I got married 44 years ago, we went to London and to the UK to kind of hang out.
	And we got this ticket to ride the public transportation, you know, and it's like you get a discount for doing it.
	So you could ride the buses, you could ride the subway and everything.
	In a lot of cases, it was kind of convenient.
	But when it came to buses and you had to get somewhere else or to a train, you know, just sitting around waiting for their schedule.
	And it's like, wow, I'm just used to jumping in a car and going and doing what I want.
	The distances weren't that large, but, you know, they were further than you could walk.
	But it was such a restraining thing.
	It was really annoying.
	I got a couple of comments here I wanted to get to.
	Audi, modernretroradio.com.
	Good to see you there.
	He says, the reason CEOs are destroying their own companies' brands is because of New World Order United Nations puppets.
	They wouldn't be in those positions if they weren't.
	I agree.
	Sword of Possessions says, getting ads on live shows now.
	Rumble is starting to suck like that.
	Every product we get goes fast before it's banned.
	I didn't know that was happening.
	I didn't know what we were getting.
	I'm not seeing any revenue from that.
	Unfortunately, people are willing to sell out, you know, particularly if they're handed a really big check.
	Yeah.
	That's true.
	You know, it's a horrendous thing.
	You know, I've never had somebody offer me a billion dollars, you know, to sell out.
	And, you know, being honest, who knows?
	I would hope I wouldn't.
	It's an awfully tempting thing.
	Well, you know, that was always a thing.
	You remember the game Scruples?
	I don't know if you ever played that or not.
	Yes, I do.
	We played it, and after a while, it's like, you know, I'm seeing a pattern here.
	You know, they got the same types of things that are going on.
	And will you do it for this amount of money?
	How about for that amount of money?
	You know, and so they start changing the dollar amounts and just tweaking it slightly to see, you know, what's your selling point?
	But at the end of the day, you know, we have to live with ourselves.
	And if you have any kind of a conscience, you know, you're going to look at that man in the mirror or that woman in the mirror.
	And you're going to be happy with what you see or not.
	And that's not something that you can put a price on.
	That's right.
	And I know as a Christian, one day I'm going to stand before God face to face.
	That's It's going to be more frightening than the mirror, I've got to tell you that.
	Another comment here, and it disappeared, I think.
	Oh yeah, here it is.
	Wes Robertson, he says, an automotive industry collapse could send the U.S. into a depression, he thinks.
	Were the EVs a monkey wrench that was thrown into the system for that purpose?
	What do you think?
	It could well be.
	And we've got about a month until the orange man ascends to the purple.
	And it will be very interesting to see what he does.
	I would like to see him make cars great again.
	Forget America.
	One way he could make America great again is by, among other things, ending the chicken tax that prevents a lot of these manufacturers from importing these affordable vehicles, particularly small trucks, into this country.
	He could do that.
	You know, how about letting Americans buy that $13,000 Toyota Hilux Champ?
	Can you imagine what a boon that would be to some young person who wants to start a contracting business?
	Oh, I agree.
	It would be great, but I don't think he'll do it because he's all about stopping imports, you know?
	That's right.
	And, you know, again, that's what we call in law enforcement a clue.
	You know, we'll see what he does.
	You know, we've had a couple of, I wrote, I think you probably saw what I wrote about his awful choices to be the next Surgeon General and that other, the guy, the thug that he had tapped to be the head of the DEA. Luckily, that guy had to bow out.
	But that horrendous COVIDian kabuki pusher that he's tapped to be the Surgeon General.
	What does that tell you about him?
	Why would he choose those people?
	Of all the people that he could have chosen, he chose people like that.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, she's awful.
	Absolutely awful.
	You've got a couple of things there about it.
	But, you know, when you look at, he likes to go everywhere.
	He says, well, future and whether we're going to build this country back, we're going to do drill, baby, drill.
	That's his favorite phrase.
	He says that all the time.
	Well, you know, he left the Paris Climate Accord in.
	And when we talk about shutting down the economy completely, that's what that's about.
	You know, yeah, you can throw a monkey wrench into the automotive industry and shut it down.
	But if you want to shut down all industry and all manufacturing...
	That's what the purpose of the Paris Climate Accord is.
	And it was a treaty.
	And it was a treaty that we got into because Obama and John Kerry said we're in it.
	And Trump wouldn't do anything to stop that, and neither would any of the senators.
	Nobody would call it out.
	They all pretended that we were in it.
	And a clause that was put in there that I think was put in there just for the United States says, well, if you decide that you're going to get out of the Paris Agreement, you've got to wait four years.
	And so Trump says, okay, I'm going to get out of it, but I can't do it then until just after the election in 2020. And of course, we were out of it for maybe a month or something, you know, before...
	Biden puts us back in.
	They don't have the authority to put us in this, but when you look at what has been done to the UK, for example, I mean, they're shutting down all of their, not just their coal power plants, but they're shutting down the coal plants that they use to make steel.
	And they're shutting down the mines.
	It's complete de-industrialization.
	They're criminalizing farming in some of these countries.
	That's right.
	Because they want to throttle the food supply.
	That's right.
	It's literally a depopulation agenda.
	It's an impoverishment agenda.
	And the common denominator is that all of these people who are pushing this are people who are at the very apex of the pyramid and who have creosus-like wealth and think they'll be immune from it.
	Yeah, the apex predators.
	That's the explicability of it.
	You know, they...
	It's not to worry.
	I've got my bunker with my thousands and thousands of gallons of diesel fuel and my generators, and I've got all the food I could possibly want for the next 50 years.
	It's for you and me and all of the deplorables to deal with this new dark age that they want to create.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	They want a feudal society.
	They want a technocratic feudal society, which is, you know, their new spin on it.
	Seth Lander again.
	Thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, happy holidays, everybody.
	Just got an 84 Dodge Ram Custom 100 318 cubic inch for my 16-year-old son.
	Good.
	Simple and easy to work on.
	Great for learning mechanics.
	And if your son can learn that, that's going to be...
	Learn that.
	Learn how to work on the car and learn a little bit about how to make...
	How to use a 3D printer and you're set forever.
	Print your parts.
	A 318 is a great engine.
	You know, not a super powerhouse, but a good, rugged, reliable engine and something that can literally be rebuilt from the oil pan to the carburetor.
	You know, if you learn how to use some basic tools, you can do it for about a thousand bucks.
	Machine all the costs and parts.
	Yeah, that's going to be the wave of the future, is people starting to get out of what they're trying to entrap us in.
	And so you got an article, because you focus very carefully and always have on this so-called pandemic stuff from the very beginning, the nonsense about it.
	You got an article up there about the rumors about pardoning Fauci.
	What do you think about that?
	Uh, who?
	Well, the precedent was set with Nixon.
	You know, people have talked about, well, how can you pardon somebody who hasn't been charged, let alone convicted of anything?
	Well, that happened with Nixon.
	You know, Nixon wasn't formally charged, let alone convicted of anything, but Jerry Ford pardoned him in advance.
	So it certainly could be done.
	And it would provide a really interesting way for Donald Trump to claim his hands are tied.
	And he can't do anything to bring Fauci to account.
	Never mind that Fauci basically ran the country for the last year of Trump's presidency while Trump stood by his side like a kind of spray-tanned wooden Indian.
	Oh, yeah.
	He did absolutely nothing about it.
	You know, I wonder whether, you know, there's a term in pro wrestling.
	It's called kayfabe.
	I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it correctly.
	But it's just basically about these guys who are orchestrating their performance, you know, for the benefit of the crowd.
	And you've got the face, you know, the good guy, Hulk Hogan.
	And then you've got the heel, the bad guy, Iron Sheik.
	Maybe that's what Trump was referring to when he said covfefe.
	Yeah, that's it.
	And so Iron Sheik would hit Hulk over the head with the folding chair, and the Hulk would stagger like he was going to fall, and then he'd recover his strength, and then he'd come back, and he'd slam the sheet to the ground, and everybody would cheer because the good guy won.
	And I wonder whether that's what's going on with Biden and Trump.
	Maybe they sit behind the curtain together, and they have a beer together.
	I wouldn't be surprised.
	If Biden does pardon Fauci, That will be evidence of that having happened.
	Another piece of evidence, we'll see whether Trump actually does issue a blanket pardon to people who actually deserve it, and for whom the pardon power was intended, meaning those people that Trump threw under the bus for the January 6th so-called insurrection, who've been rotting in jail for nearly four years, who at most were guilty of disturbing the peace and maybe trespassing, the kinds of things you and I would have gotten a ticket for, let alone be thrown in a cage.
	Well, it disgusts me, you know, and one of the guys that was rounded up, and I talked about this earlier, how they're accelerating the arrests of people, even after the election and immediately before the election.
	Now, the judges would say, well, we'll do a continuous and see what's going to happen if Trump's going to pardon people.
	But, you know, one of the guys, Cowboys for Trump, he said this is the greatest entrapment in history, and it was an entrapment by Trump.
	And, you know, his lawyer is telling him, oh, no, you can't do anything about it.
	That...
	Non-violent behavior of what people did is expressly permitted in the First Amendment.
	To peacefully assemble and redress your grievances.
	To peacefully assemble and redress your grievances is protected.
	But he didn't have the backbone to do anything about it because he's got a lawyer telling him, hey, they're going to come after you.
	Well, they came after him anyway.
	And so I think it's a good thing that the Hunter Biden pardon is going to essentially, I think, force him to do something about it.
	Yeah.
	You know, when you look at the total betrayal of these people and how, you know, Republicans in general have just run from it.
	There's only a couple of them that even bothered to go to the prisons and, you know, talk about the horrific conditions that are there.
	But, you know, this is something, Eric, I've seen all my life.
	The CIA going in, orchestrating coups, and then training the dictator that they put in to run a secret police.
	I mean, this is, you know, this is a pattern that has gone on all my life with the CIA. Yeah, but it's more blatant now.
	And it's more incongruous.
	You know, I think they're playing with dynamite.
	I think, you know, you see things, everybody sees things, like this egregious cretin Hunter Biden and various other people like that literally getting away with, like, appalling, horrific crimes involving real harm to real people.
	And meanwhile, people who haven't harmed anybody and, you know, who are guilty of it, most some sort of a minor jaywalking-style technical foul infraction are prosecuted to the nth degree for things like that.
	And people are really getting tired of it, I think.
	And I think this is one good thing about Orange Man, is I do think he's sort of set in motion a populist uprising.
	And I just hope that this populist uprising isn't channeled Well, the problem with the populist uprising is that it's idol worship, you know.
	And I saw it with some of the Tea Party stuff earlier on, you know, when they said the tax's enough already and we've got to cut taxes and all that.
	And there's an echo of that.
	I think that's going to be a bunch of nonsense.
	There's not anything that, you know, Musk and Ramaswamy can make all the recommendations that they want.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	I've seen one commission after another over the last 30 or 40 years make all kinds of recommendations, but it requires Congress to act on it.
	We can't even get Mike Johnson to...
	To allocate some money to help the people who are freezing to death.
	Literally, we had somebody who died from the cold.
	He won't do anything to help them, but he'll keep channeling the money to foreign wars.
	No problem.
	Foreign governments.
	He doesn't have any problem with that.
	So they're not going to do anything to seriously reform it.
	And the vast bulk of the money that's being spent, even if you were to say they were going to cut back on the wars in the military-industrial complex, The vast bulk of the money is there with entitlement programs that they would have to change the law on.
	So there's not really anything that's going to happen with any of that.
	I agree.
	Ultimately, I think this is just industrial policy.
	You know, Soviet-style command and control.
	And it just comes down to, well, which person is going to direct this Sovietized economy?
	And in what direction will it be?
	It's not, let's return to a free market model, one in which people are free to transact with one another.
	That's anathema.
	Can't have that.
	You know, it's always got to be at the direction of some leader.
	And you're right about the cult of personality that's surrounding Trump.
	I saw something the other day.
	You may have seen it as well.
	Apparently they're going to erect some god-awful statue.
	Have you seen it?
	Yeah, several stories high.
	Yeah.
	Fight, fight, fight thing or something.
	Yeah.
	Are you going to spray paint the thing gold, too?
	They keep saying that they are not guilty of idolatry, but if it looks like it, it walks like it, it stands like it, it looks like it's idolatry to me, I tell you.
	They just keep going down that road.
	And that's what I'm saying.
	You know, it's been a misdirection, just like the Tea Party.
	They started focusing on, well, we're taxed enough already.
	Okay, so what do we do about this?
	Are we going to cut some programs?
	Or what do you want to talk about?
	They didn't want to talk about that.
	And they didn't want to talk about the proper role of government.
	And neither does Trump.
	Trump wants to make this all about loyalty to himself.
	And he's not making this, even when you look at this talk about getting revenge and things.
	And he says, well, success is going to be our revenge.
	And yet at the same time, throughout that interview, interwoven through it, is this undercurrent of I'm going to get even with these people.
	Instead of saying, okay, we're going to have a truce.
	And we're going to reestablish a rule of law so that the victor doesn't get to jail his political enemies.
	They're not going to do that, and they're not going to fix the economy.
	And, you know, all of this drill-baby-drill stuff, I really think what's going to happen with it, Eric, I think they're going to come in.
	You know, it's a tag-team match.
	And so you got the Democrats like Biden and all the rest of them.
	They come in with prohibition, right?
	They got prohibition on crypto.
	They got prohibition on energy use.
	Trump is going to come in and say, we're going to open up everything and everybody can do whatever they want to with crypto and you can use whatever form of energy you want, but...
	You'll pay a carbon tax.
	Or you'll have to pay for carbon sequestration, which my buddies have already set up a business to monetize that.
	And my buddies have already set up a business to tokenize everything.
	And so I think that's the danger.
	You know, it was one pastor said, God's delivered us from one evil to challenge us with another.
	They're going to come at us with the same agenda, but they're going to do it in a subversive way to make you think that it's going to be, hey, it's just an open market freedom type of thing and, you know, But it's going to be that type of approach, I think.
	I agree.
	And the people who would ordinarily be apt or inclined to resist or question it, if it were, say, Biden or Harris that were promoting it, will accept it because it's their guy who's imposing it.
	One of the great worries I've got, you know, Trump's election campaign really hinged on this tsunami of illegals that have been entering the country over the past four years.
	How exactly is he going to identify and deport all of these people?
	How exactly is he going to do that?
	A national ID! Right.
	My fear is he's going to institute some sort of a papers, please, passport, checkport regime on us, you know, in the name of apprehending and identifying all of these non-citizen aliens who are in the country.
	And I think, unfortunately, a lot of these gung-ho Macca people will say, yeah, we've got to do that.
	So, you know, we're going to have a new apparat.
	Like, we've got...
	With the Homeland Security Apparat under Bush, you know, after 9-11.
	So, you know, now Americans are used to having to deal with these blue-shirted goons to get on an airplane.
	Well, assuming they're going to get used to having to deal with goons wearing other kinds of shirts at every border at every state, or when they drive across the county line, are they going to get used to having to stop at a checkpoint and prove to the satisfaction of some government goon that they're an American citizen?
	I think it's a possibility.
	Oh, absolutely it is a possibility.
	Take a look at what they're doing.
	I mean, you know, we've got – and they're still pouring it on with the jobs stuff, right?
	So DeSantis and Republicans in Florida said we're going to have mandatory e-verify, mandatory e-verify to get a job.
	We're going to have to have an ID and biometric ID to fly in.
	The real ID is kicking in next year under Trump, right?
	The Republicans have always pushed back, but now they're going to bring it in under Trump.
	Biometric IDs with TSA. They want control so they can have jobs, because illegals are taking our jobs away.
	They want to have voter ID. It's ID, ID, ID. Online.
	We can't control our kids' access to social media, so we need to have an online ID to get onto social media or whatever.
	All of this stuff is pushing towards an ID, and interestingly enough, every one of those things that I mentioned are sore points with conservatives, because Biden has come in and made these things worse for the most part, and so now Trump will come in.
	It's a problem, solution, problem, solution, and they hand this stuff off like a relay baton with each other.
	Right.
	It's quite worrisome.
	You know, there's this authoritarian law and order undercurrent that is behind MAGA. And it really bothers me.
	It's something that has long bothered me about the conservative...
	Oh, you must love Tom Homan.
	Yeah, right.
	What a thug that guy is.
	He's a stereotypical bad sheriff in town, isn't he?
	Boy, it's amazing.
	And, you know, don't go by what they say.
	Go by what they do.
	You know, I got into a lively debate with a number of people over this guy.
	I think his name was Chad Honister.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	This guy was one of the most brutal of the COVID thugs.
	Not only did he have this pastor arrested in Florida for having the effrontery to allow people who wanted to attend his services.
	We're almost out of time.
	Yeah, I told everybody he's perfect for the DEA because the DEA doesn't have any respect for the Constitution.
	This guy wasn't...
	He wasn't doing anything more than opening the doors and saying, hey, if you want to come in and worship, you're free to do so.
	Not only did he have that man arrested, but he publicly shamed him.
	He had a big press conference where he denounced him for being a threat to public health.
	He's still a granny.
	I agree.
	He's an awful person, and Trump chose him.
	Think about what that says about Trump.
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	Hang on, Karen.
	Keep it going for just a second.
	And the other part, this is a listener pointed out to me, said his father-in-law was a billionaire who was convicted of a crime that Trump pardoned.
	So that's how this Democrat who is so heavily connected with all these other people, that's how he got his name in the hat.
	Because that's all it takes, isn't it, Eric?
	It's truly amazing.
	Before we go, tell people about your site.
	Anything that you want to tell people about there?
	Well, sure.
	It's kind of eclectic.
	For those who aren't familiar with it, I call it the world's best libertarian car site because, as far as I know, it's the only libertarian car site.
	We get into all sorts of things.
	We get into the stuff that other car sites get into, which means car reviews, technical stuff, things having to do with what's going on in the business.
	But we also have a lively conversation going on there.
	About the things that you and I talk about, about political things.
	Some of them tie into cars, some of them don't, but all of these things are kind of related when you really think about it.
	And so that's what I try to do there.
	I try to have a synergistic kind of bringing together of all these common themes and try to...
	Explain to people how they're related and they're not separate things that aren't connected because they really are connected.
	That's right.
	You talk about real cars, you don't talk about these hyper cars that are out there, although even the real cars today are starting to get hyper expensive, aren't they?
	Yeah, even the hyper cars aren't that interesting anymore.
	That's right.
	Back in the day, a Ferrari or a Lamborghini was really a spectacular car.
	I mean, again, just like with the Jag, you lift the hood, look at that V12 engine, you know, and they had all this just interesting styling.
	Now they're all the same plastic insect shapes.
	You know, it's like this insect versus that insect, and the only thing that they really bring to the table is, well, this one is two-tenths of a second faster through the quarter mile.
	That's basically it.
	Well, I'm waiting to get my praying mantis.
	That's the one that's got the attachment.
	You get a clover in front of you.
	That's your thing about somebody that's like a left-wing bandit.
	You get a clover in front of you, you can use that praying mantis thing to grab them and flip them behind you.
	That would be great.
	Yeah.
	I'd buy that option.
	I would too.
	I would too.
	Always great talking to you.
	Eric Peters, epautos.com or ericpetersautos.com.
	Thank you very much, Eric.
	Good talking to you.
	Merry Christmas to everybody listening.
	Thank you.
	You too.
