In the world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

It's the David Knight Show.

As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 13th of March,

you have our Lord 2026. Yes, folks, it was exactly six years ago on a Friday the 13th and March

that we had Trump roll out his COVID lies. And of course, the emperor had no clothes then. He

doesn't have any clothes. Still, it's just naked tyranny. He had no pandemic. He has no justification

for his war. We're going to be talking to Charles Goyette first. He's a New York Times best-selling

author of the book, Empire of Lies. How appropriate and timely to talk to him. The subtitle is

fragments from the memory hole. And then after Charles Goyette, we're going to be talking to Eric

Peters. What's going on with the Iran War? Why are we not allowed to know what's happening in

this war? We can't get the truth from anybody. Everybody is hiding what is happening. Everybody

has got AI and bots lying to us about what is happening to their side and to the other side.

Stay with us. We'll be right back.

All right. Joining us now is New York Times best-selling author, Charles Goyette. His book is

Empire of Lies, fragments from the memory hole. And he's had a lot of experience with the

military with weapon systems. We're going to talk to him a little bit about his experience with

the Strategic Defense Initiative that Reagan had and kind of get his take on what's happening with

this anti-ballistic missile thing as well as where are we going now? Where are we right now in this

war? Thank you so much for joining us, Charles. So it's a great pleasure to be with you, David. Thank

you very much for having me. Well, thank you. You know, we don't really know we're getting all these

contradictory statements every day talking about an empire of lies. Is it nearly over? Are we

just beginning? We get different stories even from the same people in Trump regime. So exactly

where are we? Well, he's got the fog of war, don't we? And I guess it's mainly because we're

getting a lot of smoke blown at us by the government on both sides of the war. Tell us what you see in

terms of what you're watching. First of all, we're not at war, but then don't forget that we've

been at war for 47 years. It's a total confusion. The fog of war, I guess, that's not good enough.

It's just political fog. You know, just to get off track for one second, there's a great deal to be

said for the virtues of the founding fathers who knew the historical precedence for these kinds

of events. And they decided that on good precedent, they decided that the American people should have

the power to declare war through their elected representatives. And it was because first of all,

I mean, two primary reasons. First of all, of course, they knew the precedents did suggest that

executives, kings, and so on, popes even had a propensity to engage in needless wars.

That's right. And that if you lodge the power with the people who had to pay for them and die in

them, then there was a certain amount of reluctance that didn't appear in the executive branch. So they

moved the war-making authority without ambiguity over to the people. But it had the second advantage of

having the debate about the objectives of the war clarified in a declaration of war. So you know

that in signing the declaration of independence, the founders pledged their lives, their fortunes,

and their sacred honor. In a declaration of war, generally, the authorities, the relevant

authorities declare what the objective is, who the enemy is, how much resources they're dependent

on devoting to it, and then you know how the end game plays out. We don't ever have any of that.

And it has the additional virtue of making clear to potential opponents that we're at war with

these people. But if you do anything contrary or that befriends them during this period, especially

to our own people, that would be an act of treason. But I hear people bandied about the word treason

all the time in the United States today, and yet there is no declaration of war. And with, I mean,

the president can't wake up in the morning and say, you know, I'm really, really angry at the people

in Bolivia. And so they become the objects of a war, and you can commit treason by doing business

with the people in Bolivia. It's insane. That's one of the reasons why we need a declaration of war.

And of course, we haven't had one since World War II. But of course, I've tracked their David.

But no, yeah, absolutely right. But of course, that's what this president does. I mean,

we can wake up tomorrow morning and be at war with Canada or Greenland. But it's overlooking

that for the last year. When you put this in, people talk about Taco. Trump always chickens out. I

said, this is a Trump always is capricious as well as odious and what he does. And so we never know

from moment to moment because neither does he. He doesn't know from moment to moment what he's

going to do. He hasn't made up his mind. And I guess when we look at this war, that's one of the key

things he's back and forth. He doesn't even know where he's going because he hasn't even defined

the objectives and what winning looks like in his own mind, let alone for everybody else. And if you

had a debate with this, you would expect at least one person out of the 500 and so in Congress

would ask the uncomfortable question, why are we doing this? And what does winning look like?

What is the objective in this? And we don't know any of that right now. And so everybody's just

wondering how long is he going to go on this escapade that he's on? Well, you know, he's going to go one.

He's going to go one to unconditional surrender. And to two, he's going to go to the point where oil

prices get too high and he becomes desperate to get out. You know, one of the news sites, I think

was political reported the other day that Susie Wiles, the chief of staff, her hair was virtually

on fire trying to figure out, you know, calling all the secretaries, what can we do to suppress

gasoline prices? Because we're in big trouble in November. Well, that's funny. Here's what you

could do to suppress gasoline prices. Don't go to war. So, you know, there's there's there's so much

guidance in in in the backstory in the history and the accumulated wisdom of mankind to prevent

these kinds of things. It's not just declaration of war. You know, the story of what is her name,

who let the let all the sorrows of the world out of Pandora Pandora's box. Well,

Prometheus is the one who stole the fire from the gods, the fire of light, you know, that we

would be able to use our ration or reason and so on and so forth. Ando was tormented for having

done so, but Prometheus means forethought. And then his brother was afterthought, his name was

Epimetheus. So, of course, his bride was Pandora. You think about things later when it's too late,

gee, I wish I hadn't opened that box. So, we have this not a Prometheus society, but an Epimetheus

society. Yeah, thanks about everything later. That's right. You know, when we look at this, again,

we go to war and we've got our gas tank is half full. We don't even have the Europeans are debating

as to whether or not they're going to release their strategic petroleum reserves. We go to war with

ours half empty. Of course, it was emptied by Biden because he had put sanctions on and then

Trump didn't fill it up. Even though he's bragging about low oil prices last year, he didn't fill

up his tank. And didn't dump, didn't Biden dump the strategic petroleum reserves to make things look

better just in time for the November election? That's right. That's right. You know, this is how they

work. I mean, we're all at play and our fair affairs and our prosperity and our liberties are

all at the hands of these guys that don't know what they're doing and will do anything to further

their own fortunes. I saw, I saw this story, I believe yesterday, that the the Trump family,

I guess the sons, you know, I mean, we're already up to our eyeballs and profiterian and

and chronic capitalism is the thing. You know, I saw a wristwatch TV for Donald Trump. I'm

your favorite president. Here's my wristwatch. You know, there's one of these days somebody's

going to really look into the the cryptocurrency stuff. Yeah. But the boys came up yesterday. They're

investing in war drones. Yeah. They have some sort of a deal to take a substantial stake

in the production of war drones. I mean, you know, would Jefferson or Washington have behaved like

this or would they have let their family behave like this? It's not a chance. I guess the most

disgusting thing I've seen is everybody is talking about who's responsible for bombing this girl's

school and killing like 160 something children. And Trump doesn't even have the respect for the

American people to try to come up with a plausible excuse or deniability, right? He just makes stuff

like yeah, we sell the Tom Hock to everybody and Iran's got him and Iran probably did it and

all the rest of the stuff. It's just childish what he's doing and a total disregard for human life.

He does it. We've had the Senator from Louisiana Kennedy apologize publicly for that. But

neither Trump nor headsets apologize. They just said, well, I don't know, maybe, you know,

somebody else will look into it and see what happened. They don't want to accept responsibility

for it. They don't want to apologize. They don't offer any plausible deniability to the American people.

They figure we're just going to go along with whatever they do. And evidently, they're right.

That's the amazing thing about it. Evidently so. Yeah, you talk about the hearing. Look at

Lindsey Graham gloating about how we're all going to get rich. The we I guess is who is we David?

Who exactly is we? You know, I posted on my ex account today, I think, or yesterday, yesterday or

today, a stock chart of Raytheon stock makers of the Tomahawk. Oh, they're doing great. You

may be paying five bucks a California or more for gasoline, but you know, Raytheon shareholders,

they're just they're doing great. So we are going to get rich. It's a big club at you and I aren't

in it. That's right. Which brings us to replenishing all these arms that they're rapidly running out

of. I mean, that's the kind of the subtext of a lot of this is you had Kane, who's the chair of

the joint chiefs of staff was saying as they were getting ready to go and you know, we may not have

sufficient ammunition really for this, right? As well as allies. So they were low on allies

in ammunition. They're also low on strategic petroleum reserve. But hey, let's go to war anyway.

We'll let Israel set the timetable and tell us who we have to go to war with. But when you look at

this and you look at your experience with the strategic defense initiative that Reagan began,

the animal, Indian missile thing, what is your take? Have you been following

of what's happening? I've seen a lot of different stories about how this is shaking out on both

sides, which side is running out of missiles first? Whether we have radar sites that have been

taken down, what is your take on that? Well, my take is I simply I simply don't know and second

arily, I don't believe anything as they says. Yeah. You know, the mutual assured destruction

defense policy of the United States that prevailed during the 60s and into the 70s was a disaster.

You know, it didn't provide any defense. Look at the defense budget that we had at the time

it provided no defense for the American people whatsoever with one small carve out. And that is

that the governing classes in Washington were able to provide a small missile defense system

for themselves, but not for the rest of the country. I mean, it was an absolute disaster. And you know,

by the game theory, by the game logic of mutual assured destruction, people that were opponents

of it said, well, if we have a defense capability, which is what Reagan was trying to institute, if we

have a defense capability, then the Soviets will, the Soviets will be at a disadvantage because we

can strike them and destroy them and they can't retaliate. And that was the whole standoff logic

of that mad period. And so Reagan said to everybody, shock, Reagan said, well, we'll just give them

the technology too. So now the reason, whatever you think of that, and I was, I had been being

stunned by it, but there's an internal logic to that. But whatever, whatever you think of him wanting

to do that, Reagan genuinely believed that the United States of America is not a country that

preemptively attacks other countries. That's right. He literally believed that there may have been

substantial evidence on the other side. I'm not prepared to say, but it's just been gangbusters

since then of attacks on other countries. And you know, we're not very good at it. We make a mess

of things. I mean, you know, you can look at Iraq, Libya, Syria, the mess in Ukraine and now the

mess in Iran. And there's no reason to think that the current mess in Iran is going to turn out

any better than the prior ones. No, no. Yeah, it has been a pragmatic disaster when you're looking at

it from that standpoint. No question about it. But it is also a moral disaster. If we can attack people

that have not attacked us throughout history, that has always been the litmus test for who is justified

in their war. Is it a war and defense or is it a war of aggression? And we've taken the aggressor

point over and over again. And that's I think where we are right now. Forget everything you had planned

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good,

man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing

partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome.

I think I saw Billboard years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 million is an insane number.

Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after

this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows, so the number will hopefully

keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with

Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is

dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open or our call centers

always waiting to take your call 24, 7365. Wow, Dan Morgan from Morgan and Morgan, America's

largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com

for an office near you. So as people are talking about nukes and we've got reports about some

Trump cabinet members who are building nuclear bunkers. They've got the guy who makes all the

money doing that. He's not for Zuckerberg or whatever. He says, you've got a couple of Trump

cabinet members that are asking me, when's it going to be ready? And a lot of people are concerned

about that. What's your take on that reading the tea leaves that you see in public?

Well, I've told friends since before the last election, last fall that I didn't think that

Trump would last two years of this term. And that's a safe bet for somebody like me to bank because

that you win so many ways. There's the ugly way of, we know he's been attacked or been

assassination attacks. But there's also the matter of his health, which can't be swept under

the carpet forever. That's a challenge. There is the prospect that this will go very badly and

the people will recognize it pretty quickly and decide to do something about it. There's the

chance that his mental deterioration will catch up with him like it didn't with Biden. And there's

provision to remove him. There is, there is also the chance. I think that Americans, I don't go

down this because I'm not a master of this topic. I look at it and it grows by the day. And I guess

I alluded to it a few minutes ago. But the somebody's going to have to do something serious about

looking at the extent of cronyism in this administration. It is off the charts. I have never seen

anything like this. It's run rampant. And it's right in your face. Everything that's not

nailed down. It's nailed down too. That's right. And they don't even try to hide it. That's what I

said. They have so little respect for the intelligence of the people because he is surrounded by

yes men and loyalists. So he figures everybody is that way that that supports him. So they don't

bother to come up with a plausible lie. They don't try to cover up the corruption and the cronyism

as you point at it. It's all in everybody's face. It's truly amazing. Yeah. And the Congress,

you know, they all they care about is their next reelection. And so they they're afraid that

Trump will endorse their opponent and steer money to their opponent and so on. So they dare not say

anything. But at one point along the way here, it's going to have to reach a critical mass. The

American people have are losing faith in him. The mega coalition is toast. It's history. It's

dust. It's finished. He is split. It's so bad. And I don't know what gets reformed out of it.

But, you know, now the Republican establishment is cheering for that neocondeepe state figure Marco

Rubio to be the next presidential nominee. And so I mean, we're just we're just in a mess with

the whole thing is going to fracture in my view before the end of this year in some unforeseen way.

Well, I think this this war is a good start to the big ultimate fracture. When you when you look

at that and you look at, of course, the upstein files, that is something that's become a big problem

for Trump with his base. I'm sorry that the what files. I'm sorry. I don't I don't recognize the

term anymore. It was something they used to talk about last year. They've driven that off the

front pages for sure. Yeah. Haven't driven it out of this show. I mean, we

remember the developments that are there. But they they've done the best they can to make that go

away. But that really has broken faith with his his base that is there. And I think that's part

of the issue. I'm not sad to see the MAGA coalition go away because it is a coalition that has

coalesced around an individual, not around principles, not around the constitution, isn't it?

Yeah. MAGA MAGA is what I say it is. Yeah. That's what he told I think it was Tucker Carlson or

in the response to his break with Tucker Carlson. He said, well, he's not MAGA MAGA is what I say

it is. Well, that's funny. I remember the expression make America great again long before Trump

was out of high school. Yeah. I mean, I mean, there were been make America great movements

for a very long time. And the idea, you know, this is supposed to be a governmental laws and not a

people. That's right. So and that should have been drummed into the American people from the earliest

age. But it's not by whim or caprice, whatever the dear leader says, we don't have dear leaders

in this country or we're not supposed to. So when somebody when somebody runs on a platform

of ending these these these awful counterproductive elective regime change wars on a program,

he should be shamed by the people to the ends of the earth. That's right. If he breaks that vow.

And it's he did and not only had but everybody that was running with him. I mean,

Tulsi Gabbard had JD Vance. All of them were adamant that we're going to not do this regime change

war. Now what are we doing? We're doing the regime change war. Yeah. I wonder and I like Tulsi

Gabbard very much and I I debate with myself and maybe you have a thought about this, but I

I think well, she's got to make a statement and she's got to resign and, you know, they're

they're marginalizing her at every extent, if not insulting her as well. She's got to make a

statement and resign. We know on the record what she stood for and we know what she said. And then

I think, you know, maybe she feels obligated to stay in there and do what she can to minimize

the damage. I don't know what the I don't know what the answer is in JD Vance by the same token.

I'm not, you know, JD Vance has always been a question mark for me. I mean, I've trusted Tulsi,

but JD Vance, I'm not sure, you know, he says a lot of good things, but I've never been exactly

comfortable or sure. And now we're watching this. And I think, you know, the only thing he can

honorable thing he can do at this point to me, if it were me, I would resign. That's the

not trying to say that that's what he must do. Maybe he, you know, maybe he knows that Trump will

be gone before the end of this year as I surmise. And he wants to be there to pick up the

pick up the threads. I guess that could be part of his reckoning, but maybe that's wise. And maybe

I'm foolish by saying, you know, somebody's got to resign because that has a tremendous clarifying

effect on the people. It'll be the topic of discussion for months if he were to do that. And

maybe it would have a solitary effect. I agree. And of course, when you talk about Tulsi Gabbard,

I think resigning would be the best thing that she could do. If you wanted to try to minimize

what Trump is doing, what better way to do it than to lead people away from this and to

commit a rebellion against this illegal war. But for her own personal benefit, I don't see how

it benefits her to stay there and deny all her principles and become a bootlicking lackey

like the rest of them. It's just amazing. But speaking in Congress, we talked about Congress

being essential to declare war. Look at what our Congress has done. You had, they basically said,

I don't want this hot potato. And they kicked it away. They don't want to have a, they shut down

a resolution to hold a vote on this. And then you've got Mike Johnson saying, well, they attacked us.

They hit three of our embassies. Actually, at least a garage on them. It's the most twisted

thing I've seen out of all this. It's something from Mike Johnson. It's so twisted. He's twisted

right along the way. He's actually one of the ones among many who said, well, this is not a war.

And it's not just that. I mean, he is the one that, for example, there was a movement. I guess

Nancy Mace led it. There was a movement to open up the slush fund. There is a Congressional slush

fund to pay off people who charge Congress people, elected officials with sexual harassment.

They don't pay it themselves. They're insurance company doesn't pay it. We pay it. We pay it. And so

there was a movement to open the books. Take a look at it. See what John Kornin has done if he's

one of the perpetrators and, you know, see what kind of a rat's nest this place in Washington is.

And of course, they couldn't have that. I mean, that's so flagrant. But that's so it's embarrassing

to this country. It's a carousel. It's not a moral character. You look at Dennis Hasser,

longest serving Republican Speaker of the House. And, you know, he was a pedophile. They picked

him. He was a wrestling coach. They picked him run for Congress and put him in his speaker. And,

you know, we've seen this happen over and over again. He was on with Rush Limbaugh defending

was it calm delay, I think, in terms of paying the other one. Yeah. And he was saying, oh,

it's just politics from the Democrats. There's nothing there. Same stuff that Trump is doing now

with the Epstein files. And it truly is amazing that that has become so endemic of the sexual

misconduct in Congress and their slush fund that they want to keep all that they got their own

fund to pay for it. I guess it's one of the perks of Congress, right? It's, yeah, they operate

with impunity. Well, you know, I mean, the harket back to where we started about a declaration

of war. One of the other virtues of that is that you could hold people responsible for their bad

judgment when they declared a needless war and it cost the American people and it cost lives.

The people who used exercise bad judgment or were pressured into supporting the war by their

contributors, which certainly happens a lot. Well, then at the end of the day, when the dust

settles, we can run them out of office and they can be shamed for their lives, too.

So, but they operate entirely with impunity and they only get in trouble when they

cross the deep state and then, oh, boy, they unleash the big batteries of guns. Oh, yeah.

What do you think about boots on the ground? We talked about likelihood of escalation

in many different ways and we don't know where this is going and the guy who's running it

doesn't know where it's going, but there's a lot of uncomfortable

movement about boots on the ground. What's your take? Yeah, this is the camel's nose and the

tent doesn't as far as I'm concerned. They would have, what have I seen recently? They were

talking about, well, we're just, we'll put some troops in some special forces on Carg Island,

you know, for special operations to protect shipment, protect oil. We'll do that. And then,

oh, by the way, we'll arm, we'll arm the Kurds for an operation in northern Western

or I'm thinking, you morons, you know, Erdogan is not going to like that. Turkey is not

going to like that. You're going to use the Kurds again for American cannon fodder as we've

done in the past, you know, and that will, that will be the end in my view. I mean, Turkey is

a NATO ally. That will be the end of NATO if they do that because Turkey, I can't imagine they

would put up with that for a minute. So maybe that's good. I mean, the NATO alliance has been

nothing but trouble anyway for several decades. Well, of course, Charles, that begs the question,

you know, when we, we saw everything that was happening with the Strait of Hormuz and being

choked off and the people realizing what the consequences are going to be finally. And then Trump

throws a life preserver to the market and says, don't worry, we'll protect the Strait of Hormuz.

You know, first he said, we'll do it with a navy. And then the navy shot that down. I said,

we can't operate there. You can't put it there. It would be too vulnerable. Then he's talking about

putting special forces on the island. The reality, though, is it just emphasizes, I think, the fact

that there was no thinking, no planning, no strategy to any of this stuff. If you wanted to do

regime change and use the Kurds, wouldn't you have started that right away? Had them ready? Now they're

reacting to what Iran is doing. And I think reading between the T-lines, T-Leaves, that kind of

tells us that maybe things aren't going the way they thought they were going to go. And why, if you

understand the importance of the Strait of Hormuz, why wouldn't you try to secure that area as one

of your primary strategies? I don't understand any of that. But it looks to me like they hadn't

thought through any of this stuff. Well, answer me this. I mean, if shipping in the Strait of Hormuz

is dangerous enough to your 10 million barrels of oil that you're shipping through there, that

Lloyds of London doesn't want to ensure it at any cost, why should the American taxpayers pay

to secure it and to ensure it for oil that we're told we're energy sufficient, we produce our own

petroleum. Why should we pay to secure that petroleum that's going to places like China and other

nations? You know, or just it's sort of a global socialism, you know, that everybody benefits

and the cost of the benefits are socialized to the whole world, to the global American military

empire, but the cost land in the lap of the American people. And you know, it's not that that

would be right under any circumstances, but these are very perilous circumstances. You've got,

you know, now we're virtually $39 trillion in debt. That's the visible portion of the debt. You

know, most of the debt is under the water line and unfunded liabilities, but it is debt that cannot

be paid. It simply cannot be paid by any of the normal mechanisms. You know, as creditors start

to back away, I was looking at these numbers yesterday, China not too many years ago was a

creditor of the United States. Well, for your listeners that don't listen to these things or

pay attention to these things, you know, when they buy US Treasury bonds, they're loaning this money.

And the US Treasury says, yeah, give us $10 million, we'll give you this bond and we'll redeem it,

we'll give you all your money back plus four percent or five percent interest, whatever it is.

So China lends us a lot of money. So not so and light as do a lot of other. In fact,

we are dependent on the kindness of foreign nations. But as as so many others do, China loaned us,

they were one of the our top creditors so few years ago, they were up to almost well over

$1.3 trillion in US Treasuries that they had owned. In other words, that they had loaned to the

United States to keep the US government to keep Washington spending going. They loaned that money

to the United States. And now they're backing away. They know perfectly well. The only

expedient available to the United States to pay off that debt is to print more money and devalue

the dollar. So they're down, they're down 50 percent in the US Treasuries that they owned.

And the rest of the world clearly is backing away from the dollar. Look, these foreign central

bankers, you know, they know the money printing game, they know the fiat money game perfectly well,

and they don't mind fleecing their own people with it. But they just don't want to be fleeced by

our money printing. So that's why you know, reserves are flowing to gold and alternative global

monetary systems are being erected and stuff. And you know, we're our own worst enemies. We're

as they're moving away from the dollar anyway, because it's not a trustworthy vehicle anymore. We're

driving them by our weaponization of the dollar by freezing assets all over the world and claiming

that people aren't entitled to their own money. And then when we release their own money to them,

Sean Hannity and the other netwits on Fox starts screaming, we gave them, we gave them all this

money. Well, we didn't give them any money. We released the money that they owned that we had

stolen from them to begin with. I agree. Yeah, you said it's like a global socialism. And of course,

I think that's part of the goal of government and socialism is to create dependency, right?

And so if he can use us and the debt, you know, the massive credit card that just keeps

building and building if he can use that to get people in debt to us. But of course,

another thing is kind of surfaced in Lindsey's gloating. And that is the idea that the empire now,

as you point out, you know, it's an empire of lies, but it's also an empire that is trying to set up

a global hegemony on oil. That's exactly what Lindsey Graham was saying. He said, we're looking

at the combined control of Venezuela and Iran's oil. Two of the biggest ones that are there.

Yeah. I wonder how the American people could countenance were self-dissufficient in oil. We've

told repeatedly. And yet somehow we can go around the world and steal the production, the oil

of other countries. You know, there will come a time when we're not the big gun in the world

anymore. That's right. You know, nothing lasts forever. These empires don't last forever. They collapse.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's

largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard

years recently that said that $20 billion won. $20 billion is insane number.

Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to

22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number

will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone

get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident?

Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone.

We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24, 7365.

Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming

by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

There is a syndrome that I write about in Empire of Lies fragments from the memory hole. There is

a syndrome called Imperial Overstretch. It didn't start from me. It's well-known. It's

well-recognized that these empires in extremist as they see their global hegemony or their

control of places far and beyond their own borders as they see their hold beginning to slip.

They react to it and they react to it typically violently. But you know, their hegemony that

such that they had their dominance and stuff was the result of their economic might.

It was a result of their productive capacity. It was for those of the work of the people and

the wealth and the riches that they had produced. That's what enabled the creation of the empire

of the first place. But when it starts to crack as we're seeing now of the United States,

the geniuses in Washington, the status, the deep state, the establishment, they react to it

as though it is a threat to their military dominance. And so they divert even more funds from

the productive economy to beef up the military. This is exactly what we're doing now in Iran.

I mean, we're spending a trillion dollars a day in new money there. I think the president just

asked for another $50 billion supplemental. We spend more than the next time. I don't even know

the number anymore than it was at the next 7, 8, 9 countries of the world combined. We spend more

on war. We call it defense, but it's spending on war. We spend a trillion dollars a year.

And three or four weeks ago, the president said, no, we need to bump that up to 1.5 trillion. We

need a 50 percent bump in our military spending. Yes. Yeah. So that's what we're doing.

And we look at this, especially if they want to get into a long war with Iran.

The asymmetric warfare is one of the things that has consistently been our downfall.

The boots on the ground and trying to do regime change and nation building. I don't know how he

thinks people don't see this as they say, well, we're not going to do nation building.

Well, they want to take the oil. They want to change regime. I mean, aren't you talking about

putting boots on the ground and trying to control the people better there? After you have

rained death and destruction from the sky, as War Pete says, and boast about it, it's amazing

to see him revel in the carnage like this. Yeah. And it's not just that we want to replace the

leadership. We want to make sure we name our own guy. Yeah. Oh, that's good. Sure. That'll go

over well. You know, years ago, this is kind of vague memory, but anybody interested in these

kinds of issues that we've gotten on now should look up a story by Malcolm Gladwell in one of his

books. I think it was in Blink. And he wrote an account of his Millennium Challenge was I think

2002 military exercise. And there was the red team and the blue team. And it was a Pentagon

run military exercise. They had to do with the Gulf, had to do with the Persian Gulf, the

Strait of Hormuz and a war with Iran in 2002. And the A team was what we are today. Well,

we're more advanced, but it was the same thing. You know, it was high tech, electronic warfare,

remote, missile launching, and whatever they had, the equivalent of what we have today that

is remote and high tech. And the B team were the the stragglers, the asymmetric warfare guys

that didn't have anything. And the guy that led the B team was a general by the name of Paul Van

Ripper. And instead of using like interceptable messaging and cell phones, the things he used

careers on bicycles. And instead of a big Navy craft, you know, he's used little speedboats

that zipped in and zipped out. And I mean, it was all this downscale primitive warfare against

the Goliath, the behemoth of modern technology in America's superior military budget and high

tech equipment. And guess what? The B team won. And it was so embarrassing before they could

declare victory. The Pentagon called off the exercise because, you know, they were beaten

by some inventive stragglers using primitive means of communication, smoke signals, light signals,

and so on. So somebody ought to look that up. Yeah, you've got the the Machiavellian industrial

complex that's out there. They're making a lot of money off these very complicated expensive

weapon systems. And yet we've already seen at the beginning of the Iran war how Iran did not

the decapitation strike didn't affect them the way obviously the Pentagon thought it would

because they have decentralized leadership decentralized command and control. And then they

attacked our highly centralized radar systems based on what I've heard several analysts say.

And that appears to be the case. And so we have these very, very complex systems that are incredibly

expensive. And of course, that's to the benefit of the people like Raytheon who are making these

things and the people that they keep in Congress like Lindsey Graham that benefits them. They are the

we who are making a lot of money off of this stuff. But it doesn't really help the United States.

And certainly this adventurism, this empire abroad does nothing for the safety of Americans,

which is as nothing to do with national security, national security is like continuity of governance

and continuity of the empire. It doesn't have anything to do with the safety of the American people

because they are putting us at risk by creating enemies everywhere. Forget everything you had planned

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan,

which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard

years recently that said 20 billion won. 20 billion is insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered.

It's actually, I think, somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year, and each year

seven, 365. Wow, Dan Morgan, from Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm.

Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

Yeah, everywhere. It is said that Osama Bin Laden's fondest hope was to lure the United States into

a war in Iraq, that he hoped to do that, to break, to break the global powerhouse, to drain it,

to bleed it dry. Not thinking that he and a bunch of other guys in fatigues off in the mountains

who can to hire someplace could prevail militarily, but they thought that they could take America down

financially. If they could drain them long enough, much like we thought, much like Burzinski thought

that we could do to the Soviet Union with his Afghanistan initiative. Yeah. And what they're trying

to do the Soviet Union with Ukraine as well. We use the Ukrainians as our cat spa and figure that

we're bleeding the Russians dry. And I've heard people like Lindsey Graham boasting about that.

Look at how many soldiers and tanks and all this kind of stuff Russia has lost in this war.

That's what we want. It's a war of attrition. And yet we get suckered in by that same strategy

on the other side. And it's so short-sighted. It's not even short-sighted. It's blindness.

They have no vision at all to wonder. I mean, what happened to the economically drained and crippled

nation of Germany after World War One and with the perpetual payments from the Versailles Treaty

of Reparations? I mean, what are broken down people with no hope and no direction susceptible

to the fringe elements like Hitler will, of course, they are. So what do you think is going to

happen? If you topple the Russian government, you topple Putin and everybody else in the

Kremlin, and you break the bank of the Soviet, the Russian economy, which is what they

openly talk about hoping to do is collapse the Russian economy. What do they think will take

its place? It was only a generation or two ago that they had the Lubbionk prison.

They had, you know, walls and barbed wire. They had the Gulag Archipelago. I mean, what do they

think is going to arise in the place of these guys? Have they given that any thought? Well,

again, unprecedented. No, because they never give anything any thought. It's just destroy, destroy,

destroy. That's right. Yeah. What is the regime changing to look like in Iran, for example?

And the bottom line is our history with Iran began with regime change, began with a coup back

in 1953. And that has blown this whole thing up. They always start the clock 47 years ago with the

Iranian revolution against the Shah, the guy that we put in and equipped his secret police.

It's just a very bad story. Yeah, I blanch when I hear them say we've been at war with them

for 47 years. Where do they get that number? Do they think, you know, it's the Iranian revolution.

Do they think those, those millions of people that turned out in the street to cheer on the

abdication or the fall of the Shah? They think that they poured out in the street because they

lived under such a benign and lovely government. Of course not. They lived under a cruel

despotism. You know, the historian, laureate of the Reagan people was a great scholar by the name

of Paul Johnson. And all the Reaganites read his history books and they all thought they were

great. I guess they've been slipped down the memory hole too. But Paul Johnson wrote a short

account of exactly what the reign of Palavi, the Shah was like. We were told the American people

were told because, you know, well, we don't want communism and we don't want to visit communism

on these people. Well, the elected government, the Masada government was no more communist than,

you know, the prevailing beliefs in the Republican and Democrat platforms these days. He just didn't

want us stealing his oil and not getting paid for it. But in any event, the Shah that we instituted,

I wrote a piece for this, it was published by the blaze a couple of weeks ago. It was published by

the Libertarian Institute and anti-war.com. I wrote a piece called the deep state wants to restore

the reign of the Persian Stalin. Yeah. And it's hard to swallow when we've been told that the

Shah was so great. But you know, when we installed him, when Alan Dulles, the head of the CIA,

ain't it peculiar how CIA heads always seem to show up in these deals, just like Brennan showed up

in toppling the Ukraine regime. He checked in under a false name, but Dulles was out in the open

and he asked Corda Palavi to the peacock throne when the Masada reign, you know, we hired thugs,

we hired revolutionaries, we hired the worst elements that possible in the streets to

foe men a revolution there like we do. And then they escorted Palavi to the peacock throne

and he proceeded, oh, one of the things he did was he put the Masad and he put General Schwarzkopf.

This is a good one. People will remember, people of our age will all remember Stormin Norman,

General Schwarzkopf from the first Gulf War. But his father was one of the guys that was sent in

to help the Shah, along with the Masad, learn how to torture his opponents. And that's where the cruel

and notorious Savak were born out of that. But of course, the expatriates, the people that fled

that were, you know, on friendly terms with the Shah, living in Los Angeles now and are urging

the United States to go to war and put in the Shah's son, you know, they, of course, they want us

to do their fighting for them. But the people that turned out in the street in 1979 weren't all there

because the rule of the, the Shah had been so enlightened and liberating and prosperous.

It was a very ugly time. And I remember all the mainstream media

news events where they would show the Shah and his family and show Iran is like, look, he's modernizing

making it like like America, you know, that type of thing. And, and yet when I was in college,

that was my frame of reference for Iran. I was surprised to see all these Iranian students that were

at the engineering college where I was. And they, they could get over here if they were an engineering

student, but they were out there protesting Iran. I thought, what are they doing that for? I mean,

it's like he's creating the kind of environment that they want to live in. And they were wearing

these balaclava masks. And so I asked some of them because I had a lot of them in my classes. I said,

so what's going on? What's all about the mask and everything? That was first time I see any

my protesting Iranian mask. And they said, well, because of the Savak, I said, what is that? And

they filled me in on what was going on there. It's horrific. What was done? The CIA massage,

you point out, I didn't know that Shorpskopf was his dad was a part of that as well. But that has

been the history of the empire, the CIA sets up and that is murder, coups, assassination,

torture, secret police, all the rest of this stuff. And we have to ask, why do we think that we're

immune to that here? And of course, we're not. And if you're paying attention, you've already

seen a lot of these aspects already in operation. They just haven't become so pervasive in your face

yet.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good,

man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing

partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome.

I think I saw Bill Board of yours recently that said 20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number.

Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually I think somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after

this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number will hopefully

keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone do in contact with Morgan

and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound

law. That's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting

to take your call 24 7365. Wow, Dan Morgan from Morgan and Morgan and America's largest injury

law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office

near you. Well, you jogged my memory by you jogged your memory by talking about your student days

because I remember I was after my student days, but being just a little bit horrified about these

mobs out in the street, burning American flags in Iran and chanting, chanting death to the

American, the great Satan, I didn't really understand. And most Americans didn't. And that is the

fault of our education, I guess. But it's the fault of the media. It's the fault of the state

that white washes and sanitizes all of its deeds. And it doesn't want anybody to know anything else.

But I remember being shocked at what is wrong with these people. And it took a few years

for me to really understand. You know, I have been on a book tour talking about my book Empire of

Lies fragments from the memory hole. And one of the surprising things that I hear, I mean, you would

think you would think out of all the all the sloganisms and the reasons to actually go to war,

be something more substantial than this. But I hear I've heard many times from different people.

Well, you know, they call they call us the great Satan and they these are the people that have been

chanting death to America for 47 years. And I go, so what is, is that a thin pretext for a war?

Or what? Do you remember Ronald Reagan getting ready to do his, do his radio address? And he said,

okay, we're bombing the Soviet Union and the bomb start falling in five minutes,

and the German leadership was horrified. But this goes on all the time. John McCain ran around

the country going, singing like he was a, you know, some crazed beach boy, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb.

He was a, he was a presidential candidate. Yeah. So they hear, they hear what we do, but we don't hear

what we do. We only hear what they say. And the things don't translate very well anyway.

Well, you know, Charles, I've heard some people, I listened to an Iranian official who was being

interviewed and he said, he's actually a teacher in the university. He said, we tried to tell the

students what it was like under the shot. They just didn't believe us. They didn't believe what we're

saying about the Americans. Now they see it. And that's the issue when we do these types of things

that we're doing that shows people the character of our government. And now he said now they understand.

If they wanted regime change, the thing to do would have been to just set back and let it happen.

It was already in a process. Yeah. But instead, they snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory

because then what they did was they made themselves the greater enemy this there. And of course,

part of what was happening was also a pushback against westernized abortion and other things

like that in Iran coming in. They didn't like that. That was part of what they were saying was

satanic. And we just saw the burning an effigy of a ball, the or bail, the pagan god with

symbols of the US and of Israel. That's the way they see us. And so they burned that an effigy. They

did that at the beginning of the revolution. And you know, when they they took over the embassy,

that is the starting point of Americans understanding anything about Iran to them. Basically Iran didn't

exist. We don't know anything about these other countries until that happened. And then you had

this long thing every day, day number one, day number 10, day number 11 on it went through the

nightline doing that and America held hostage by Iran. That was ingrained in the memory of people.

And it was done without any context at all as to why they would take over the the embassy. And

of course, you know, they held them hostage. But that that was extended because of the the Iran

contra affair. We don't we certainly don't remember the Iraq, Iran war in which we provided. You

know, when the weapons inspectors went into Iraq looking for the missing weapons of mass

destruction, what they did find was leftovers from the Iraq Iran war. They were inert by that time,

but they found some these were this was technology. These were precursors. This was technology and

targeting and stuff that the United States gave to Saddam Hussein. Oh, he's worse than Hitler.

But we were giving him technology to underwrite his war with Iran. We encouraged it. We provided him

resources illegal resources. I might add to pursue that war. And I don't remember the number

after all these years, but it was it. I think it was at least 200,000 Iranians died. They had to

send kids out in the battlefield. The population was being drained so much by by our and we don't

remember. I remember you remember the Iranian Airbus that was shot down with 290,000 civilians

killed by the USS Vincent and Bush had the nerve to award the captain of that awful incident.

I think some kind of metal of communication. Oh, it was it was an awful event. I've talked

about that many times. You know, that's what the Serenian official is saying. I've told the kids

and he still believes that that was deliberate deliberately done by the U.S. and said, well,

you know, I've said for the longest time, I didn't think it was deliberate. I thought it was accidental

because I thought they did the same thing with flight 800, having naval exercises. It's just that

when it happens over American territory, they can cover it up, but they couldn't cover it up there.

I said, you know, I thought it was remarkable restraint. Of course, what could

Tehran really do about that? But the key point that you're making there about Saddam Hussein

is that after they had suffered for a couple of decades under the Shah, which basically just means

its Persian for King. After we overthrew their Republican, their democracy, and we installed a

King who had a secret police that tortured and killed people for the longest time. We did two

decades of that. And then after that, we, I think, helped to instigate Saddam Hussein attacking them

because as it was a new government, a new revolution, but they would catch them at a weak point.

And yet, Saddam Hussein really wasn't doing very well with that until we jumped in with

additional equipment and intelligence and other things like that. And then the tide started turning

towards Iran, towards Iraq versus Iran. And so all of that history is just ignored. And all the

history of our intervention, our preemptive attacks, our empire wars of lies, all of that stuff

is just forgotten. We don't have any contact for this at all. It's totally forgotten. And the subtitle

of my book is, let's empire of lies, fragments from the memory hole. And as people will remember

from reading 1984 by George Orwell in high school, in this dystopian future, the ministry of love

is where dissidents went to be tortured. They took them to the ministry of love. Everything

was inverted. The ministry of truth is where the protagonist in the novel, his job was rewriting

history. And he'd take the old history. We rewrite the history, put out the new truth. And then

the old truth was consigned to an incinerator that was called the memory hole. I want to mention

since we were on the topic, the US Embassy in Iran. And I talk about this in Empire of

wise, there is a, it is now a museum of what the people there went through under the Shah of Iran

and the spying CIA. They took, oh yeah, at the time, at the time that the embassy was stormed,

the employees began shredding documents furiously. Imagine this. The students, they were supposed to

be these crazed out of their mind students. They went through the laborious process. I think it

must take them years of pasting all those shredded things together and reconstituting all the

destroyed documents that the CIA and the embassy staff destroyed about what had gone on there.

And you see case after case, they have rooms where there were the eaves dropping room. This is

where they did this. This is where the CIA did that and so on. And they have reconstituted those

documents so that the people in Iran can familiarize themselves with the politicians that we were

paying off. The freedom movements that we were subverting, the measures that would liberate the

country, the measures that would empower the central government more at the expense of the people

or engage them in warfare at the Iranian people's expense. All those shredded documents of

CIA spying for years and running the government and bribing and paying it off are all there for

the Iranian people to see. Now, the American people don't know anything about that.

Yeah, but it's been reconstituted. And so when you wonder why they say death to America,

they have within the recall of living Americans, they have an idea of what we were doing at that time.

That's amazing. That's amazing. Well, maybe they could do us the same favor for the Epstein

documents, what do you think? It was the Iranian students that come over here and piece together.

I'm sorry. Epstein, the name rings a bell, but I'm not sure I remember.

Yeah, it's slipping down the memory all too. That's right. Well, I guess they can't put the

go of those shredded disk drives that are that's a different challenge. That's right. Tell us a

little bit about the book, the Empire of Lies. What's up, baby? It's Bretsky. And I'm here to tell you

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and

a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty

awesome. I think I saw Billboard years recently that said 20 billion one. 20 million is an insane

number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually I think somewhere north probably closer to 22,

23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number will

hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in

always waiting to take your call. 24, 7, 365. Wow. Dan Morgan from Morgan and Morgan,

America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me.

Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. Yeah, the book is it's not just a collection of

the sequential lies of the empire. It also covers the media and the media as the lap dog press that

furthers the deep state. I'm pretty clear about these terms. I don't toss them along casually.

The deep state is identified. I identify the deep state as the executive arm

of the global American empire by executive arm. I mean they call the shots and they are

collective. They are like bees in a hive. They don't sting one another but they have

they have different jobs. The deep state is not coordinated by a central authority but they all

work like the bees in the hive for the good of the hive. And of course it is a mistake. It's

common enough for people to believe that the deep state is consigned to a few actors like

Brennan and Clapper who both lied to Congress by the way and felt no repercussions for having

done so. I remember Clapper said well when he was caught lying about the U.S. surveillance

on American citizens, illegal surveillance, he answered under oath in Congress. I think it was

Senator Wyden that asked him. No, we don't do that. No, no, we don't do that. And when he was caught

up, he offered this excuse. Well, I gave the least untruthful answer I could give.

But with these people are sworn in, they're not sworn in for the least untruthful answer

they're sworn in for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But it's not just

those guys. The deep state works its way all the way down through a bureaucracy of minor petty

bureaucrats and one of them that I cite just to represent the case is Lieutenant Colonel Arthur

Vindman who was on Trump's national security council in the first term and he's the one that

set the wheels in motion for the first Trump impeachment. And what was his, what was the

grab of his complaint against Trump? It was this and he told, he said this to Congress. It was

well, the problem with Trump, he said is he is not following the the interagency consensus

on Ukraine. And we have to ask ourselves, what is an interagency? And where does that appear

in the Constitution? And how does it operate? And does it vote? And who gets a vote? And where does

it fit in the balance of power and the checks and balances? And who's a member of the interagency?

And can I be a member? And who do they benefit? And where are the records of their meetings and so on?

I mean, it's pure ballad dash, but that is the deep state. And that's not just the heads of the CIA

and the NSA or the FBI. That is all the way down the bureaucracy. And yet it's so typical. And then

if you'll indulge me one more thing is the role that the lab dog press plays in this thing.

And there is, I identify this. I think it's very worth reading just if it were just this alone.

Is this this syndrome, you won't find this in any standard psychiatric diagnostic manuals,

but I have identified it. And I think it should be in the manuals. And I call it combat envy.

And it's very, very ubiquitous in the halls of government, this combat envy syndrome. You

know, you could run into a guy, I suppose at a bar at some point in your life that tells you

tales of daring to do about, you know, why I was a Navy SEAL or a Green Brain Vietnam. And so

and it doesn't do really any harm. But when these elected officials are leading newscasters and

opinion makers in the United States make up these lies about where they have been and what they

have done and cheering on our wars for national television audiences, it's pretty destructive. Fox

news had a guy named Wayne Simmons that they used for years. And he was a national security

former CIA expert. And he came on there with the most nonsensical war mongering,

crazed advice. And they liked him. And that's why they brought him back here after you're because

he he fit the the networks agenda. He'd come up with stuff about, you know, well, you know,

we need a grounded miss 10, 15 years ago. We need a grounded vision of Iraq. So eventually,

I guess some of the real CIA guys got a little tired of his baller dash and they blew the whistle

on him. And it turned out he wasn't a national security guy. And he wasn't a former CIA guy.

He was a a door man and a hot tub manager and a felon too. So they had to get rid of him. But look,

you had Brian Williams on NBC. Brian Williams made up his own personal tales of

close calls talking about well in the first Iraq war. I was part of this helicopter assault and

we flew in and then the RPGs were flying at us and it was harrowing and we had to do a

corkscrew landing and I came within and then with each retelling, he would embellish the story.

Oh, and it got worse and worse. Oh, I saw an RPG and it was head right down. I could see the

tube and it was headed right at us. And it was the and it got bigger and bigger. And finally,

the guys that were actually on the mission. And by the way, the name of the mission was big windy.

I guess they anticipated right and Williams rolling it. But the guys that were actually in the

in the mission told the story to stars and stripes. So Brian Williams got found out for his

embellished tales of combat envy. And when he was found out, he said, oh, what's up, baby?

It's Bretsky. And I'm here to tell you that spinquest.com is giving out free sweet coins.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's

largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard years recently that said

20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually,

I think, somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger

and better and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time

goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if

I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from

your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365.

Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming

by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

Oh, I must have had a brain tumor as he tried to excuse himself. And the network that, you know,

we trust for feeding us reliable news and information having known now that their primary anchor was

lying to us when they suspended him for a while. They didn't care enough about the credibility of

their network or their news anchors or the trust that the American people might lodge in them to

get rid of him to apologize for him. They suspended him and then they gave him back another slot.

I think he anchored MSNBC for years after that. So this stuff goes on, you know, there are countless

officials that engage in this combat envy stuff. There are commentators the next time we visit or

maybe people want to just buy the book and read the story of, oh, there's a good one. Bill O'Reilly

on Fox and his combat envy. It's borders on the ridiculous. So I chart some of these things so

people can see this is the deep state networks. This is the establishment, the American political

establishments. This is their role. This is the lapdog press. But the point of it all, I tried to

try to direct people to is if we do not begin to honor to demand and to honor the truth of our press,

of our public officials, of the so-called American establishment. If we don't demand the truth

of them, then this is our fate. And I walk you right up to the ragged edge. This is our fate

if we don't. And there is no sign yet that the American people have turned and maybe this

Iran war will be the last strong people wake up. Well, it's hope so. And it is good to go back and

to remind ourselves of how we got here and this long trail of lies and deceptions, which is what

your book does. You know, we're hearing this week, we've got the psycho chamber throughout media,

both left and right of the short-term pain, long-term gain. And they're all eating this slogan all

the time. And it's like, you talk about the complicity of the media and you talk about people who

present themselves as intelligence experts. I worked at a place where that person was Steve

Puccini kept coming back on and he was selling one lie, crazy lie after the other. It was much

worse stuff than what you were talking about from the NBC anchor. But again, nobody ever pays any

penalties for that. The people, they know that if they lie to people and if it's sensational enough,

they get viewership. And they know that once they're caught in that lie, that it's not going to

affect them whatsoever because people are entertained by it. And I think there is a certain

aspect of it that they don't really care if it's true as long as they're entertained by it, right?

Right. They don't really care if it's true. You know, you mentioned earlier and we didn't really

talk about it, but you mentioned earlier, TWA Flight 800. And it was so peculiar amidst all the

misinformation. I witnesses to the event testified that they saw a streak of, you know, come up from

the horizon or come up from the sea and hit the aircraft. And so, and they gave, they gave

statements to the FBI. They were, they were dumbfounded later at the end of the investigation when

they're, they got a chance to see their statements that they had given themselves the FBI and

they'd all been changed. Yeah. They were, they were a little dumbfounded by it. But the CIA, this was,

this was unprecedented. The CIA actually put out a video. I remember seeing it on YouTube.

And it was this comical 1950s announcer style. And he said, and it was in like, you know,

all caps, red letters, underscored and stuff. In this video, they put together the people did not

see a missile take down TWA 800. And okay, whatever you say, he sure that, that works magic bullet

too. That's right. Yeah, they got voice of America. They're used to that kind of, that kind of

broadcast style. It just doesn't cut it anymore with most people. It also doesn't help when you've

got people who are air traffic controllers saying the FBI came by and stole the records that we had

showing what was going on with this missile. So yeah, the FBI, I refer to them as feds blocking

investigation because that seems to be what they're doing more often than not. But thank you so much

for, for reminding people. Again, the book is Empire of Lies fragments from the memory hole.

We need to be reminded of this long history that we have. It's bipartisan. And it is what the

true government of our country is. Forget about these elections. It's the true government that's

running it, which is the deep stage you're talking about this bureaucracy that remains there from

whoever wins the election. They're the ones who are really calling the shots and calling the

coups and the wars as well. Thank you so much for joining us. Charles, go yet. And you have a website.

I do. It's Charles Quayette.com. I have another one. EmpireofLies.com. You can find a little bit of

information about the book there and links to buy it like on Amazon. So that would be that would be great.

And I think everybody will find it very compelling. It is. I actually, I'll tell you actually,

they would it's pretty juicy too. Certainly sounds like it. I'm anxious to see it myself. Thank you

so much for joining us, Charles. What's up, baby? It's Bretsky. And I'm here to tell you that

SpinQuest.com is giving out free sweeps coins. All you got to do is purchase a $10 coin pack. And

guess what? They're going to give you the coins from a $30 coin pack. That lets you play all your

firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

Yeah, thank you, David. I appreciate you very much. Thank you.

Yeah.

Making sense. Comment again. You're listening to the David night show.

All right. Joining us now is Eric Peters, a friend of the show. We've had on many times

always interesting to talk to Eric. And Eric Peters, autos.com is where you'll find a lot of articles

about liberty and mobility because you can't separate the two. It's kind of like what Jefferson said

about life and liberty. The hand of force can destroy but cannot destroy them. Well, that's true

of mobility as well as liberty as well. So thank you for joining us, Eric.

Oh, thank you, Dave. I always have a good time coming on your show.

I always enjoy it. Yes, let's talk about the you got several articles about what's going on

this war. And I think when the key ones was the news blackout that you talk about.

And I'm having that same problem as well. I'm looking at all this stuff. There's so much

disinformation and very little real information. And there is a point to all of that.

Yeah, doesn't it kind of feel to you sort of like Groundhog Day in that it's kind of back to 2020

where we weren't allowed to have access to real information about what actually was going on.

And instead, a steady stream of regime propaganda was was foisted upon us to try to persuade us

of things that were not true. And now it's more egregious. It's startling how effectively they

have managed to suppress any news about what is happening within Israel, for example, or what

has happened to our bases in the region. That's right. They've got plenty of images about things

going on in Tehran. And it's clear they're trying to manage the perception of the war. And this

is outrageous because Americans have a right to know what's happening to their sons and daughters

in that part of the world as well as what the consequences of this. I'm just frustrated about it.

This evil idiotic unnecessary gratuitous war. It is evil. It is evil. Everything about it is evil.

And their lies are not even plausible. The lies that they tell us in terms of the cruise missile

hitting the school and all the rest of this stuff are as implausible as a lot of this AI

slop. And that's another aspect of it that's out there. We didn't have that six years ago.

So not only do you have these people actively suppressing information about what's going on,

but they're also putting out a lot of fake stuff. You got people splicing together real clips from

previous incidents that happened in other areas and putting those out as if it was something that

just happened. And then there's clearly AI clips. Those are easier to spot.

So it's kind of interesting when I look at it on the x. A lot of people are saying,

hey, Grock is this real. And I know that that's become that's mocked in and of itself. And yet

it is pretty good in terms of between community notes as well as Grock. It's pretty good at

filtering out the lies that people are deliberately putting up there to promote one side or the other

because they'll say, well, this particular clip is a mixture of this clip from back here.

And that clip from back there and they'll give you links to those things as well as

assessing out when you can see the artifacts from artificial intelligence. And of course,

sometimes people will put up stuff. There's still got the Gemini logo on it. And then they'll

argue with people who call BS on that aspect of it is new. I hadn't seen that before. None of us

had seen that before. It's frustrating and fruitless. And I like to hang my hat on things that can be

ascertained to be absolutely true, such as how much the cost of fuel has increased in this country.

That's an obvious question. Absolutely. And on average, it's 50-60 cents higher now than it was

10 days ago. And I think the more relevant, the more important aspect of this, it's really not

being talked about that much is the effect upon diesel fuel prices. Yeah, even more so.

Yeah, it's now up over $5 a gallon in most parts of the country. And a lot of people don't make

the connection between what they are paying at the supermarket and Walmart and everywhere else

for things and the cost of diesel fuel because, of course, things are moved from A to B generally

speaking by heavy trucks that burn diesel and diesel-electric locomotives. So if the cost of

diesel fuel goes up 25 or 30 percent, who do you suppose is going to pay for that? We are.

That's right. And we have all these hidden costs going back to the OPEC and Bargo, which I know

you remember as well as I do and who could forget it. And when you have a shock to the system

at the energy price level, it percolates through everything, just like a value added tax. Every stage

it gets added there, especially because of the transportation of goods and services. And diesel

is a big part of that. And diesel has gone up more than the gasoline at the pump. And I think there

might be a reason for that. Might be some kind of manipulation that we're seeing there. But you

point out that it's so hard to find out what is happening in Iran. We have some people like

Colonel McGregor. We have Scott Ritter, who are talking about the damage that's been done to

raid our systems that control the Thad and Patriot missiles. But they have sources and we can't

verify that. Of course, that's part of that. It's the fog of war that you're always going to see.

But a big part of it is that they're always blowing smoke at us.

Left and right. The right is particularly egregious, but predictably so. The thing that's

astonishing is the so-called left, which at one time at least posed as being anti-war.

It was the left that aggressively reported about what was going on in Vietnam, for example,

Dan Rather on the ground, looking at what was happening over there and helped to generate

public outrage about what was going on over there. Now the left is as bad as the right. They're

captive poodles of the same interests that are keeping us from knowing what's going on.

So is to try to render us powerless to really intelligently come to any conclusion about what's

happening and then to do something about it. And then the absurd lies. I mention this every

time I talk to somebody about my Johnson saying, well, they attacked us. They shot at three of our

embassies. And it's like, well, you know, when that happened, that happened after you attack

their entire country. It's incredible. The lies that they push out there. But you were talking

about the fact you can't assess how much damage is being done to Iran or especially to Israel.

They have put out a complete news blackout in Israel to see what is happening with the

the missiles coming in. Yeah. And it's being respected by the US media, which tells you something.

Yeah. For all. Now, don't we have a right? You're subjective of what the state of Israel and

the government of Israel say. I think we have a right to know what's happening in this situation.

And yet, you know, we're being prevented from having that knowledge. It's infuriating. The whole

thing is infuriating on so many levels. It's hard. Yeah. But look at how this has been shaking out

over a period of time. I mean, we went through this as everybody was pushing back against the atrocities

in Gaza. You had the Zionist lobby push very actively to get any of that protest against

what that foreign government was doing to call that racism anti-Semitism and to censor it as hate

speech. And of course, this is where the Republicans who always said they hate these hate speech

regulations. They hate censorship. They were eager to jump in and do it for their masters. And so

we have seen legislation after legislation propose some of it enacted by the Republican Party.

I still am astounded that Ron DeSantis went to Israel to sign a speech censorship bill on behalf

of Israel. Why would a governor of a state go to a foreign country and sign a censorship bill?

Of course, that's a rhetorical question. Either he's owned or he's scared. I'm not sure which

it is. It doesn't really matter ultimately. There's another aspect of this though that I think

bears discussing. And I think Colonel Greger has touched on this. And it's the despicability

inherent in the Kabuki theater of the negotiations. I put it in air fingers quotes before Trump

decided to launch the war. They had the Iranians believing. They sent these two archa Zionists,

the president, son-in-law, a Kushner and Whitcoff. I mean, ridiculous. To send these two guys who

clearly are partisan agents, to supposedly sit down with the Iranians to try to hammer out some

sort of a deal. When there was no deal, it was a foregone conclusion that the attack was going to

happen. That's the sort of stupid thing that Americans of another generation got up in arms

about when the pardon the language, the dirty japs sneak attack us on Pearl Harbor. That was

considered a bad form. That was considered contrary to the way civilized nations behave.

And also being the aggressor, you know, attacking when you've not been attacked,

attacking on the behalf of Israel who had not been attacked at that point either. And so all of

that, the treachery, the lies, the sneak attacks is just disgusting. And in the back and forth,

it came out that Benjamin Netanyahu called Donald Trump on the carpet because he said,

I hear the Iranians contacted you secretly. You're not talking to them without my permission.

Oh, no, no, we wouldn't do it. And so to cover themselves, they said,

we're not anti Netanyahuism, right? Because that's really what we're talking about here. And so

they said, we're not against him. As a matter of fact, we got Kushner and Whitcoff

talked to him and the massage chief on a daily basis. And it's like, well, that's kind of

trade-risk right there, isn't it? Well, the thing that worries me most is that these lunatic

ignoramuses, I kind of regard them as such, have now painted us into a corner in the sense that

they put American and Israeli prestige, so to speak, on the line behind this. And apparently,

they thought that by assassinating a foreign head of state, the Ayatollah Khameini,

that they would cause the regime to topple. And it would be another cakewalk, kind of like the

Venezuela operation. And then they could strut around and show everybody how tough and big and bold

they were. Well, Koreans aren't folding. And any thinking person understands why, because from

the Iranian point of view, this is an existential thing. That's right. They know that if they lose

this, they lose their nationhood completely. They become a Basel state. And therefore, they are

going to fight hard to the very bitter end. They're not going to give in.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's

largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard at yours recently that

said $20 billion won. $20 billion is insane number. Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually,

I think, somewhere north probably closer to $22, $23 after this year. And each year we get bigger

and better and our army grows, so the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time

goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if

I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from

your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365.

Wow. Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming

by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

And you can't just bomb these people into submission. It's not going to happen. It isn't happening

very evidently. And so what's next? Are we going to commit half a million ground troops?

Where are they going to come from? And that would take months. And are the American people going

to put up with a draft? I hope so. Those daughters being dragooned to be sent over to Iran.

And what then? If that doesn't work, what's the next step? In other words, they've now placed

particularly Israel in this position. Israel likes to be perceived as sort of the invincible

hegemon in the area. If the Iranians win by simply not losing, that's all they have to do.

I think it's not out of the bounds of possibility that the maniacs that run that state might

resort to nuclear weapons to try to end this win as they seek. As a matter of fact,

there's some clips that I've seen people talking back and forth. I'm not sure myself

what the status is of it, but it certainly looks like a nuclear bomb. And if they don't use a nuclear

bomb, they could use out of their arsenal things that are as destructive, if not more destructive,

than many nuclear bombs, and that are conventional weapons. But that is the magic word going nuclear.

And yet, when you look at the massive destruction that they're unleashing,

and I think the most sickening thing of all this is Pete Hegseth, and how he revels in all this

carnage. And the maniac, he's out of hand, and he's what people who thinks that by blowing up

the Middle East, he's going to hasten the return of Jesus. He's lecturing the soldiers over there

apparently that, you know, this is the end times. It's this eschatological apocalyptic view

based upon the school field Bible that some of these people have. Yeah.

Huckabee is of the same mind. That's right. People should be in a mental hospital, not having

their lovers hands on any lovers of power. Yeah, and I keep telling everybody, this is not

Christianity. You know, Jesus said, blessed are the peacemakers because they'll be called children

of God. Not somebody who has physically traced their genealogy and claims that they got a connection.

And of course, there's questions about that as well. But that's the reality. And so he's out there

quoting things like, you know, God who prepares my hands for warfare and my fingers for battle.

That's not what that's about either because as a Christian, he should know that is metaphorical

for a spiritual battle. God doesn't equip our hands for warfare so he can go out and do

primitive strikes against civilians and murder hundreds of schoolgirls. That's not following God.

And it disgusts me to see this. And so his tattoos are just as funny and his crusader ideas

are just as nonsensical as his Christian ideas. He does not represent Christianity in any way,

shape or form. He is anti-Christian. There's some other aspects of this. You know, the state of Israel,

people like Netanyahu, he's at best a secular Zionist. He's not even a, you know, a religious

observant Jewish person. And there is antipathy and worse toward its Christians in Israel.

That's right. They get attacked in the streets, spin on. Yeah, they get out of the

individual. Is bombing, as you know, the Christian enclaves in Lebanon, killing Christian people.

And you've got less apparently, it doesn't bother Hegg's F or any of these other

crazed, demented Zionists, whatever you want to call them, it's really something to worry about.

Yeah, they don't care about follow Christians. They only care about people who say that they're Jewish.

And this is, this is really a sad thing. But you know, when we look at this, Eric, I'm looking at

the gas tank for the US, the strategic petroleum reserve that we've got there, right? What kind of

idiot clowns go to war without filling up their gas tank and they didn't? It's still

less than 60%. It's at 58%. I started looking at this up. The stupidity of this,

hey, it almost beggars articulation. You'll hear Trump talk about where we have Venezuela.

There is a lot of oil in Venezuela. Yeah, it's in the ground. And it's a different matter to

get that oil out of the ground and get it refined and get it shipped and get it into the supply chain.

That's something that's going to take years to happen. It's not going to happen without

resistance either. As you're seeing in the Gulf States, it's very easy to do a terrorist attack

if that's what you're inclined to do to attack the infrastructure of your enemy. If they regard

the United States as a bully and as an enemy, there's a lot of people. They could take it out on

the infrastructure that's there and you may not be able to get any of that stuff out. But you

also had Lindsey Graham prattling around talking about how we're going to get rich. We're going to

control over a third of the world's oil between Venezuela and Iran. You may not have any of it.

Israel started blowing up the oil refineries in Iran. At first, Lindsey Graham and Trump said,

don't do that. Don't do that. We want that oil when we get it. Now they're joining in with

Israel blowing this stuff up. And now Iran is apparently looking at, they've already made a

couple of preemptive strikes against desolonization plants as well as the liquid natural gas plant

and oil refinery. And they could basically, by attacking ports and refineries and factories,

they could basically shut down the supply of oil and gas without even shutting down the

street of Hormuz. And it could take a very long time to get that back.

Effectively, they're doing it. My understanding is that a couple of ships have already been hit

in the streets. And Trump and his usual poll-tronish bellicose way says that they should just

grow some guts. And they should drive their tankers, said from Mr. Bonespers who dodged the draft

back in Vietnam. And son, oh, fans, I mean, I mean, Baron Trump is just a kid. I don't want to see

Baron Trump get dragged into this any more than anybody else. But the point is, he's not going to

suit up. He's not going to go. Trump's not going to send him. Lindsey Graham has no skin in the

Graham in the game. None of these people do. Just like his evil gerontocracy, it just has no moral

compunction, whatever, about putting other people's lives and fortunes at risk and at peril.

And then just disregarding the havoc that they caused. It's obscene. That's right. And he's

more than willing to put the deep water navy in that tiny straight, which is shallow water.

It's very different the way they operate. It's set up to be operating to get things at a

distance that are there in deep water. They can't operate in that straight. And if he puts them

in there, and yet you still have his secretary of energy come out and lie about the fact that

the navy is escorting tankers to the straight of her moves had a big effect on Tuesday in terms

of oil. Even after people realize that it was a lie, and even after they took the tweet now,

and even after the White House pull back and said, well, no, that's actually not true. It's still

had the desired effect on the marketplace, which is really, really crazy. Yeah, temporarily.

I think maybe this idea is to go to the Iranians and to attempting to sink an American aircraft

carrier or something, which would then perhaps give Trump the pretext to to new the Iranians.

The man literally said something about he's not limited by anything at all except his own view

of what is right. That's right. Yeah. So many things he wishes. And when he was talking about the

tariffs and his temper tantrum after the Supreme Court shut down that illegal move that he had there,

when he was talking about that, he said, I can do anything I want. I can apply any tariff that I

want to to any country. I can destroy any country that I wish. And of course, he knows it's a tax

and knows that tax is the power to destroy. But of course, he can destroy any country he wishes

with arms as well. That's what he's trying to do. And back to what we're talking about in terms

of the war and how it's going. Iran has watched what the United States has done for a very

long time because we have been at war with them not for 47 years. The clock didn't start when they

took over the American embassy and they put in the Iatolas. That was a response to what we'd

done about 26 years earlier in 1953 when we overthrew their government. And I know because I

knew some Iranian students in college who were telling me about that. They were protesting the Shah's

horrific regime when I was in college and they were showing up, but Baliklava was over their

head and everything. And so what's that all about? And they said, well, let me tell you about

the Savak, you know, this thing that's trained by the CIA and Assad, secret police that would kill

and torture people if they realize that you're a political opponent. That's why we have the Iatolas.

It's because we did regime change once before. And we don't know what we're doing when we do

regime change. Sometimes we put in something that's even worse. And if they say that the Iatola is

worse than the Shah, well, you caused that. Just like Trump caused the pump prices to go up. He

caused the Iatolas or American policy by the CIA and the continuing deep state is what caused

us to have an Iatola there. And so these people have been looking at this for the longest time.

They realize that the Achilles heel of the mighty American military is to have a drawn-out

war of attrition and to use asymmetric warfare against our very expensive, complicated

and centralized systems. And they have a decentralized system. And even taking out the Iatola.

And again, I got this from Al Jazeera because you have to read some of these other sources out

there and try to figure out that the truth lies maybe somewhere in between these two extremes

that we get here. The pro-Zionist media here in America and the anti-Zionist media that's

outside of the country. And so what they were saying was they had what they called the fourth

successor. And they had people for deep to replace the individual leaders that were taken out,

as well as decentralized command and control. And so they're in it for the long haul.

Absolutely. You know, Americans, unfortunately, have a very superficial understanding of history,

even their own recent history. Iraq is a parallel for what's going on in Iran. The sort of situational

morality. For many years, Saddam Hussein was considered to be a great ally of the United States.

You know, there are famous pictures behind online of Don Rumsfeld going to Iraq and shaking

hands with Saddam Hussein. And we use it as an ally against Iran.

Yes. But then he became inconvenient for one reason or another. And all of a sudden,

at that point, they seem to have recognized, oh, he's a bad guy. He has, you know, he has dungeons

and he has secret police and he drags people off into the night. Exactly like the Shah.

Yeah. You know, I mean, and people who live in these countries, it's, it's just,

it's beyond contemptible to hear. It's bad enough what they do. But the way they have this moral

action, when they do it, and pre-postures, if they are fighting some sort of great crusade in

the name of all that is good and decent, when they are the most depraved, duplicitous, and evil people

that you can possibly imagine. Yeah, CS Lewis had a quote that was similar to that. I can't

remember exactly what it was, but it's like, you know, there's nothing worse than somebody's on

this moral crusade and think that God is on their side. And they said, yeah, you know, the question

is, are you on God's side? First of all, if somebody tells you that God is on my side, beware of that

person because they typically think they're God, right? Yeah. And Americans in the main, a lot of

them, not all, but a lot of them have difficulty viewing things from the point of view of others.

How do you suppose American Catholics would respond if, let's say Iran had attacked the Vatican

and killed the Pope and half the College of Cardinals? That's right. What do you suppose the

reaction would have been? Yeah. You know, you don't have to like the Ayatollah Khameini. The point

is he was their spiritual leader. And generally speaking, most people don't like their leader being

taken out by some foreign country. All they succeeded in doing was generating the fury of the

Iranian people. And the P.S. to resistance was the bombing of that school and killing 170

kids. That just doesn't wear well. You know, and they can't even apologize for it. You know, John

Senator Kennedy apologized for it. John Kennedy had a Louisiana. He apologized for it. They can't

have the decency to say, I'm sorry, we made a mistake. That's not the type of thing we do. Instead,

you've got Pete Hakeseth. We're going to kill everybody. We're going to rain death and destruction

from the skies. How more disgusting can you get? It's just, just being unbelievable.

Find out in the next 24 hours. They scrape the bottom of the barrel. The barrel turns out to be

even deeper. That's right. Well, you're talking about killing the Pope or whatever, that killing

the Islamic Pope. U.S. spiritual leader, not just to a lot of people in Iran, but to all these

Shiites. And that's about a 500 million people, roughly. And so that's not limited to Iran. And

so the war is not going to be limited to Iran, either. Yeah. You know, it's so obviously still

tilted. So obviously malicious people see it. Forget whatever plans you have this weekend,

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and

a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty

awesome. I think I saw Billboard years recently that said 20 billion won. 20 billion is insane number.

Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23

after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number will

hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone do in contact

with Morgan Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is

dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is

always waiting to take your call 24 7 365. Wow, Dan Morgan from Morgan and Morgan America's

largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com

for an office near you. Yeah, I'll tell you, the thing that worries me the most right now is that

as violinist Trump is that he has he's kind of game this out. The only thing I can come up with to

explain the gratuitous arrogance of his actions lately is that he doesn't fear consequences.

Not worried about the midterms because I think that it's very possible that he's going to pull

a Zalensky and declare an emergency and an emergency we can't have elections because it's too chaotic.

I was putting anything past it. Yeah, I wouldn't put anything past that guy. He absolutely has

just like Hegseth. They have nothing but contempt for the Constitution, for any law, for any rule,

for any morality. They have contempt for it all. And Trump's MO, I said, we've got three branches

of government now, right? We've got the legislative, the judicial, and the emergency branch because

that's the way he operates. He declares an emergency and that's whatever he wishes. It's not even

the executive branch anymore. Right. And now Americans have gotten used to the site of

body armor, goons marching around on the streets. So it won't seem that odd to them if all of a

sudden the emergency gets declared. And they lock down the cities using these these American

latter-day version of the SA back in Germany back back in the 30s. Like you, I put absolutely

nothing past this man anymore. Or Pete Hegseth, don't you find it amazing going back to this

fight over, you shouldn't follow illegal orders. How dare you say that? We're going to punish you.

We're going to take your pension and all the rest of stuff for saying that. Instead of saying,

I didn't do any, I didn't give any illegal orders. He said, how dare you tell people not to follow

my illegal orders? And now we've got the same type of thing happening yet again with Pete Hegseth

this time with Anthropic and saying, we've got some red lines. We're not going to allow our

stuff to be used for. We're not going to let you do police state domestic surveillance. And we're

not going to let you do autonomous killing machines. And so then Pete Hegseth says, how dare you?

We're going to destroy you as a company. That's also unprecedented. We've never seen that

happened to anybody. Somebody that they're still using their product in this Iran war for targeting

and for other intelligence. But they're not going to try to destroy that company. And they're just

off the charts in so many different ways. There's also a matter of historical amnesia here in the

sense that it was literally considered to be a war crime to claim that you are only following

orders. You know, the Nuremberg Code did not excuse what was done by the individual soldiers

and the chain of command down the line when they claimed, well, you know, the legitimate

government of the state ordered me to load people into box cars. It ordered me to shoot these

people. I was only following orders. That was not considered a legitimate defense. Even though

the orders were technically legal, they were still considered immoral. So, you know, now we're in a

situation where again, the question isn't, well, are these orders constitutional? Are they immoral?

It doesn't matter. They are orders. You must follow orders. You know, and Americans are being

conditioned to be good Germans. These people are so filled with hubris, they know that there's

not anybody. It's going to stop them. Nobody's going to oppose them except the other tribe,

and it's going to be just dismissed as a tribal opposition. But nobody has the power to arrest them,

some kind of an international criminal court. And so it's like, yeah, you and what army is going to

bring me up to a Nuremberg trial, which they should be facing. You're right. They should be

facing that. But that's why they're acting this way. And of course, the GOP as a group is just

rolling overfall this stuff. They're rolling over for the war. This is the party that wants to

tell you that they're pro-life. This is the party that tells you that they're for protecting

children, and yet they're protecting pedophile predators that are there. It's disgusting to see

this. And they want to tell you that they are there to protect the economy. And we've probably

never seen anything as destructive as this particular war for the economy.

Particularly, it couldn't have come at the worst possible time. At the worst possible time,

we've been reeling now for five years since COVID. People are just barely clinging to their status

quo. You imagine what will happen when it costs $100 to fill up a vehicle. And when $100 buys you

maybe a small bag of groceries at the store. If there are any groceries, this is economically

politically culturally catastrophic. People, when they are pressed into desperate situations,

are going to begin to behave desperately. And then it's game on. And who wants that? Nobody.

Apparently, the only people who want that are trumping his sycophantic apologists.

Yeah. He's a one-man tool of chaos. I think that was his purpose of being put in. I call him a

one-man fourth turning, war and depression. And he wants to take us back to the last fourth

turning of World War II in the Great Depression. And he's doing everything he can to take everything

down because they need to do that to rebuild their technocracy or whatever communist

authoritarian nightmare system they got planned. They have to first destroy the system that's here.

Trump has been doing that throughout his first and his second term, especially in the second

term. He's really accelerated that. They're getting very close to their timing of a 2030,

where they want to have this new system in. They've been boasting about that for the longest time.

And so it's got to all happen in this term. And he is doing everything he can to create chaos

and economic depression and war.

Yep. I apologize. I voted for the guy again, stupidly. I'll never do anything like that again.

And I allowed my hope to overcome my judgment. I should have remembered the way that he behaved

during his first term, particularly the last year during COVID, when it did not end the

emergency. When he had the power to do it, and when it was very obvious by the summer of 2020,

that the whole thing was an overblown overhyped fraud. He could have that point ended it. He chose not

to. And what did that do? That set the predicate for the mass absentee-ballaging and for election

months that are short, we were going to end up with Joe Biden. That's right. And now he's out there

threatening to shut down the government if they don't pass his save act, which basically say,

you're not going to do any vote by mail. It's like, you're the guy who put the vote by mail

in with your lockdown stuff. And I said, it wouldn't happen. I said, this is going to be disastrous.

This is going to be the biggest manipulation of the election that you've seen. I thought it was

going to be manipulated, but I thought it'd be manipulated through computerized voting machines

primarily. But that offered another entirely new dimension. And now he's out there even calling it

save America act. And save America was the name of his pack that he used to grift money off

of people after the election that he had thrown with his rules and lockdown and vote by mail.

Then he sets up the save America pack and raises like $250 million and sends people to January

to six. He picked their pockets and put their head in a noose. It's amazing. It's difficult for

most of us who aren't sociopaths and psychopaths to really understand how these people operate

and what they think. Because we've got an internal check that, you know, if a certain thought crosses

your mind, you go, oh my god, I could not, I can't do that. That would be horrific. I'm not going

to do that. So we don't think what they do. And therefore, it was difficult for me. I'll give you

you know, to see that the Trump was put in there in 2016 to further a certain purpose.

Come 2020, we get Joe Biden. What did we get with that? We got the LGBTQ stuff,

trannies, we got the struggle of, and that naturally outraged most normal Americans.

You know, they just, and the COVID stuff on top of it. So it's sort of set the stage for this,

this resurgent populist nationalist movement that Trump is the head of. You know, he's going to

ride his white horse in and he's going to save us and people loaded for that. And I saw that

at info wars. I saw the people that Alex is bringing in that were associated with intelligence

agency. And people think of the intelligence group as being these people like Clapper and Brennan

who are left wing. There's a big right wing component to it. And that was, those are the people

that Trump was that Alex is bringing all the time to push Trump. These are the people who are behind

him the entire time. So this is basically really a right wing coup. And I mean a real right wing

coup like a chili type of, you know, Pinochet type of coup that they're really queuing up here.

Well, it was brilliant because let's, you know, hypothesize that Harris had won most of the people

who are on the Trump side with a hyper vigilant would have been outraged and protesting by the

things that Trump has done. But because it's Trump and there are members of the Trump cult,

the Red Hat cult, they find ways to bend themselves over backwards to come up with some 55 D

explanation for it. It's beginning to fall apart, but it's astounding the degree to which they

have snapped into line just like the people on the left that they derided as NPCs, you know,

who were robotic sheep who were just following whatever the narrative was that was being deployed

by the left. Well, it's exactly the same thing now. So, you know, the setup seems to be that if

we do have elections, there's going to be this humorous backlash against everything that is

tainted by Trump. He's going to have tainted populism and nationalism, perhaps irrecoverably for

generation. I agree. It's like a hyper hyper hyper hyper hoover all over again. I agree.

And we're going to be on a authoritarian leftist dominated government for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I agree. He's there to poison all the the perspective of anybody, you know,

yeah, it's just like this Christian nationalism thing is like, oh, you're Christian.

Oh, you support this Christian nationalism stuff. It's like, no, but it's this odious thing

that they associate you with. And then people start running the other way. And it's kind of

interesting, too, because remember, when Kelsey Gabbard got in, now she has basically discredited

herself completely, opposing the war, now staying silent and staying in the regime. She said,

my position here is to restore trust in government. RFK Jr said the same thing. And they have

used that blind trust to betray people in terms of what people expected them to do. They expected

RFK Jr to push back against the COVID shots to expose the vaccines and other things like any

hasn't really done that. He's allowed that stuff to keep going. I think it's been very effective

at demoralizing people. Yeah, you realize that never ever ever gets done for the good. This

Epstein thing, the reason it never goes anywhere is because both parties are they're all involved

in this. They have a common interest in suppressing what was going on. They have a common interest

in making sure that nobody is ever held accountable, not Bill Gates, not Dr. Fauci, whatever happened

to any of that. You know, these people who visited unprecedented harm on the American people,

nothing happens to them. You were right. You know, we drive by a cop not wearing a seat belt,

you know, and we'll get, you know, we'll feel the full force and effect of the law even though

we've harmed absolutely nobody. But you know, you can harm hundreds of millions of people if you're

Albert Borla or Dr. Fauci and nothing happens. And meanwhile, they co-op people like RFK Jr and

Gabbard, you know, people think, oh, they're going to, they're going to do something for good. And

maybe they've done a little bit of good here and there. But at the end of the day, they got played

also. And they just looked like fools that got bamboozled again, you know, by the arms man. It's

appalling. Well, you're talking about getting pulled over from minor traffic violations. We just had

a, it was exposed that there was the stay highway patrol had some quotas evidently. And you had certain

officers who were very aggressively charging people with drunk driving. And yeah, one guy is like

50-some odd people from one trooper. And half of them were not drinking at all. They were

completely sober, but he charged them with drunk driving. So yeah, this is kind of stuff that we

get when they put out quotas with this kind of stuff. You get what we saw with ICE and Minnesota.

And you also see what Scott Ritter said was he said, they go in on this strike against Iran and

they've got quotas in terms of number of places that they want to hit, which means that they're not

really careful about what they're targeting, right? And so you wind up with the situation like we

did at the girls school. That is the way all the stuff is being managed. But let's talk a little

bit about cars. Absolutely. You've got an interesting article there. Breaking for a bag. Tell people

Yeah, an interesting story surfaced the other day about a guy who was driving his SUV with something

called automated emergency braking, which most new cars have now. And essentially the system

confused a plastic bag that was tumbled leading across the highway with some kind of an object.

And the system is designed to slam on the brakes, you know, in the event that it thinks that

the car should break and the driver hasn't break. Of course, you know, on a highway when that happens

for no apparent reason, it tends to result in somebody rear-ending you. Yeah, that's just the

nature of the thing. Yeah. And you know, this AEB thing, the really pernicious thing about it,

is that the federal government has mandated that come 2029 all new vehicles have to have this

technology. Wow. You know, the argument is, the argument is that well, you know, we'll save,

again, we'll save lives, you know, because inadvertent people who aren't paying attention to what's

going on in front of them, the car will break for them. The problem with it is, of course, that you

have situations like this in inadvertent braking that are in and of themselves a danger. I've had

it happen to me, you know, the federal government has registered thousands of incidents of this.

A couple of years ago, I was driving a Toyota Prius. And I was the only car on the road. Nobody

was around me. And all of a sudden, the car just slammed to a stop. I guess it saw a ghost or

something. You know, because they always use the word smart when they talk about these technology.

It's smart. It's just programmed. You and I are smart in the sense that we can, you know,

we can perceive things with our eyes. And that it's wonderful biological computer that we have

called a brain can then filter and interpret the information. And we can immediately say,

well, that's just a plastic bag. Yeah. You know, it's not a child. It's not a deer. It's not

anything I need to hit the brakes for. I'm just going to keep on driving that these dumb systems

that rely on a camera. Forget whatever plans you have this weekend because you're staying at home

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's

largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Bill Board of yours recently

said $20 billion. $20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, $20 billion recovered. It's actually,

I think, somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger

and better and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time

goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if

I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound 529 from

your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call 24,

7365. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for

coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

Find distinction. Yeah. So, you know, it was hallucinating, I guess. Yeah. But you remember a few

years ago when they had, I think it was an Uber self driving thing and they were, they had

fully autonomous driving because they had somebody behind the wheel. And it ran over that lady who

was homeless who was crossing the street with a shopping cart or something. And they said,

well, it was dark. She wouldn't have been able to see it. And of course, the camera that was

watching her, she's sitting there playing with her phone because she's been lulled into

passivity because of saying is doing most of what it needs to do. But it doesn't stop when it sees

a person coming. But, you know, they said, well, you can't see her. She's out there in the dark

and she's not in the headlight. And she said, yeah, this, this thing's got lidar. And it can see

and the dark quiet it and it's same on the emergency breaks. And I said, well, we disconnected the

emergency breaks because they were constantly kicking on for no reason at all. So we just disabled

those. And it's like one system after the other, right? Failure. There's a dehumanizing

he dehumanizing aspect to this in my opinion in that it detracts from agency. What do I mean by that?

Well, you know, when I get behind the wheel of a vehicle, I'm in charge of the vehicle. I'm

responsible for controlling it. And, you know, if I am neglectful, if I'm pecking at a cell phone,

I don't do that. But let's say I'm pecking away at my cell phone while I'm driving. And I piled

right into somebody else. Well, then I'm morally responsible as well as legally responsible

because I didn't maintain control of my vehicle. The accident could have been avoided.

Now with these technologies is placing people in the position of not being

either morally or legally responsible. You know, after all, the car is responsible.

Well, who's responsible? And when somebody gets killed, who are you going to, who are you going

to bring into court or sue for damages? And, you know, people get killed. And how is that going

to be compensated? You know, and think about that in terms of the autonomous killer robots, right?

Just like we saw with the situation in the school, if that was targeted and directed by artificial

intelligence to whatever role it had. But once they go to fully autonomous killer robots,

then they can come back and say, well, who's responsible for that? It's not my job, right?

Everybody can pass the buck onto somebody else and nobody has to take responsibility for it.

And that's another huge region not to have these things because it allows people to avoid any

responsibility. So it allows them to be a lot more reckless and careless with what they're doing.

Yeah. And there's another aspect of this. I think people should be aware of it, which I worry about.

It is that once these things are federally required safety feature, which they will be in

2029, which is less than three model years away from now. They will probably come up with the

argument that a vehicle does not have it. Older vehicles constitute a threat and a hazard. They'll

say, well, if every vehicle on the road had this automated emergency brake, then all sort of follow

each other in a correct conga line. And, you know, if this car brake, then that car would brake,

and they would all be in communication through V2V technology, and we wouldn't have any problems,

and we'd reduce the fatality rate, you know, it will help improve safety. And then they'll say

the only way that you can continue to operate a vehicle that does not have that technology on

government roads, they call them public roads, they're the government's roads. Well, if you retrofit

it, the problem is that that's not feasible to do it from a technological or economic point of

view with older vehicles. I suppose could do it if you had a limitless amounts of money and

completely re-engineered the car, but it's not like adding a third brake light, let's say.

It's an extraordinarily complicated piece of technology. And I see this as a way, another way,

there's so many of these pincers that are moving to us out of cars, but this is for them to

effectively outlaw pretty much every vehicle that was made before roughly 2015 or so when this

technology started to come online. That's right. It is very much like a singularity when you have all

these different regulatory threads as you point out. It's like some kind of a spider's web.

It's all coming together to control every single aspect of our life and to make everything

illegal. I think they're just kind of waiting for the older ones of us to die out. I saw this when

we were in Virginia trying to cover an event at one point in time and we were having difficulty

seeing this thing. So we thought, well, what we're trying to cover, so we thought, let's get a boat

and we can get a different perspective on it. So we go to get a boat and you had to have a license

in Virginia to drive a boat. And I said, I've been driving a boat since I was eight years old and

said, well, you're old enough that your grandfather didn't. So it's like anybody that was over 50

or something like that. They didn't require him to have a license. But if you were under 50,

you had to have a license. And we're starting to see this with a smoking cigarettes, for example. I

think it was New Zealand or Australia. One of them made it illegal for anybody to ever smoke a

cigarette if you were born after a certain date. And so this is a kind of insanity. They're just

gradually ratcheting everything down into a slave state. They're doing it. It's kind of like,

it's an interesting dichotomy to me in that it's sort of the superficial moralizing, you know,

like how dare you smoke a cigarette? How dare you have a beer? Those things are outrageous and

they must be stamped out for a remore. On the other hand, these people are perfectly willing to

commit genocidal mass murder, you know, and do horrible wholesale things to people that are

egregiously immoral. That's okay, but you better buckle up for safety. That's right. That's

all funny joke about Trump. They said somebody just threw a beer at Trump. Fortunately, he was able to

dodge it because he's a lot of experience dodging the draft. So yeah, let's talk a little bit about

ethanol blues because what we're talking about. I'll call I was at a think tank once and it was all

these conservative think tanks. Heritage Foundation, of course, the biggest one, but all these different

states have think tanks as well. And so this is a big convention of them and this one organization

was hosting an event and they set it up as a speak easy. And as they handed out the invitation,

they said, if you want to come to the party, you just show up and knock at the door and say,

I'm here for the ethanol subsidy. So you got ethanol blues again. What's that about?

Well, it's just an ongoing thing that has been in existence now for what, 40 years, at least maybe

50 years, went as a stop to the agribusiness lobby, which is almost as powerful as APEC politically,

they created this requirement in federal law that requires the introduction of ethanol

into the fuel supply. So most of the gasoline that's available at the pump is not actually gas.

It's 10% ethanol, 90% gas, that's what you're buying. So it's adulterated with ethanol.

Why does that matter? Well, among other things, ethanol has less energy, B2U content than gasoline.

So the unit volume, if you have a gallon of E10 versus a gallon of 100% pure gasoline,

you're going to get lower gas mileage. You're not going to be able to drive as far on that.

So it costs you more to drive the ethanol-laced gas than it does real gas. For older vehicles,

it's a really sneaky way for them to accelerate the obsolescence of vehicles that were made at a

time when the assumption was that gasoline would be the fuel that would be used. And this was

all the way through the 80s. That's when the RFG things started, ethanol things started to come

online. Well, vehicles that were made before then, the engineers assumed that the gas tanks, fuel

lines, rubber parts, everything that came into contact with the fuel was going to be coming into

contact with gasoline, not alcohol. Alcohol was chemically different than gasoline. It has

different properties. It interacts differently with things like steel lines and plastics and

rubbers. And it deteriorates and degrades them. That's why even though vehicles have been made

to be ethanol compatible now for 40-something years, power equipment isn't. If you buy a chainsaw,

if you buy a lawnmower, you'll probably see a little sticker on it that says,

do not use ethanol fuel in this thing. You have to find a station that sells. They call it now pure

gas. It's kind of like pure bloods. It sells pure gasoline. And it's worth the extra cost.

It's particularly because it doesn't store very well. That's the reason why they don't want

you using the E10 and outdoor power equipment that sometimes will sit for four months out of the

year. During the fall and the winter time, if you leave that stuff in the fuel tank, odds are

your equipment isn't going to work. It comes spring when you need to cut the grass or whack the weeds.

Yeah. When you look at it, big ag, you're talking about the footprint that they've got. I remember

the back and forth, even people like Al Gore was raging about ethanol. He says, we don't want this.

We don't need this. And so the environmentalist weren't pushing it. It was big ag that was pushing

it. And we just saw the last week or so the Trump administration and the Republican Party saying,

we're not only going to not stop glyphosate, a known carcinogen that is permeating our food supply

and poisoning our farmland, but we're going to mandate and compel its production. And as part of

that, we'll give them legal immunity against lawsuits. And Republicans applauded that when Trump

did that as an executive order. It's just insane. Well, they're well paid to do that. They're also

talking about making E15, which is 15% ethanol, the new standard. Because again, there's a lot

of money. And people don't really understand the sort of tiered effects of this. It's not just

the effects in your vehicle or your outdoor power equipment. It costs a great deal to produce

this ethanol. And crops that ordinarily would have gone toward feedstocks, let's say, for cattle

are instead diverted to the production of ethanol. So it has had a secondary effect of causing an

increase in the cost of food. People don't understand and realize that that's going on.

Who benefits? It's not mom and pop farmer Joe down the road. It's these gigantic cartels,

these combines that are using the government to rob us blind and ruin us at the same time.

Yeah, that's right. You've got an article about EV, the real purpose of the EV push. But let

me just say, you know, one of the things that you talked about, I think it was the Chevy

Volt, was a Volt or Bolt, the one that had the generator, right?

Oh, you're talking about the Volt that was technically a hybrid, but it varied engine chiefly

as a generator. That's right. Well, now as Ford is pulling back from this, they're moving towards

what they call, they're now calling those extended range EVs, ER EVs. And as you'd point out,

before, that's probably the best use of an EV that you could have in terms of using the motor

as a battery and simplifying it. So I have this hybrid system and complicate the transmission

stuff that's there and everything. You don't have to use it. The gasoline as an engine, you can

just use it as a generator to charge the EV and you get a very long range out of it.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest

injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard at yours recently that said

20 billion one. 20 billion is insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually I think

somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better

and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got

into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone.

We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24 7365.

Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming

by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

But what's going on with the EV push right now besides that?

Well, I was thinking about this the other day and it occurred to me that one of the effects I

considered to be an intentional effect of the attempt to push EVs and they were pushed very hard

for a number of years. Was to push us out of vehicles both directly and indirectly.

Here's how? By pushing the EVs, what they did was to greatly increase the cost of vehicles

generally, not just the EVs. Reason why EVs are money losers. Ford said that it lost about

$20,000 on the sale of every one of its F-150 lightings. Probably more than that. All the

manufacturers that were required to manufacture these EVs for the sake of regulatory compliance,

they had to figure out a way to staunch the bleed somewhat. So what they did was they pushed out

some of the costs of the EV thing into the price they were charging for their other vehicles.

And that's why the cost of vehicles has gone up. But the other aspect of it that's much more subtle

is that the same rigs that pushed the EVs pushed hybrid drive frames into mass production.

You know, originally when the Toyota Prius came out, that's sort of the arch-typical hybrid.

And it came out what about 20, something 20, maybe even 25 years ago. The whole point of it was

that, okay, this is a vehicle that is focused specifically on very high gas mileage. You know,

it was fundamentally an economy car. And it made sense in that context. You know,

essentially they were using the hybrid drive frame to kind of compensate for an overcome.

The fact that new cars have gotten so freaking heavy because of all the government safety

candy. You know, it used to be possible to make a 50 mile per gallon car without a hybrid

drive frame. That's become impossible. So anyway, that was the purpose of the high of the Prius.

It's competitors such as the Honda Civic Hybrid. That went on for a number of years. Now,

if you look at the new car landscape, half of the vehicles are more on the market of all kinds.

Have a hybrid drive frame, including, and I think this is the telling part, high-end luxury

vehicles, Mercedes, BMWs, Audi's, Lexus. It's risable. It is ridiculous to believe that a person

who spends 60, 70 thousand dollars on a premium luxury vehicle is sweating, paying another 30 bucks

a month for gas. They don't care. They're not buying it because it's a hybrid. And yet it is.

Mercedes and BMW, two good examples, have cheapened out some of their formerly premium vehicles.

It used to be that in a vehicle like an E-Class Mercedes or a BMW 5, the minimum you got was a

six-cylinder engine for that money, a nice six-cylinder engine. What do you get out? You get a two-liter

turbo four augmented by a hybrid system. It's a compliance drive frame. And at the same time,

that the hybrid drive frames have come online, the price has gone up. The E-Class Mercedes is

now 60 thousand dollars. Without the V6, it's thousands and thousands of dollars more expensive.

If you look at the current Dodge Charger, the, you know, that wasn't electric car until they've

realized it wasn't going to sell, and they put their new six-cylinder engine in with a hybrid

drive frame, much more expensive than the previous charger with just an engine. You know, in any

vehicle you choose to pick that has a hybrid drive frame and compare its costs now versus what it

costs just a couple of years ago, two or three years ago, without the hybrid. And it's many thousands

of dollars more expensive. I've just been test driving the Toyota Grand Highlander. As recently as

2022, that car came with the V6. Toyota's excellent 3.5 liter V6. It now comes with a 2.4 liter

turbocharged engine, hybrid augmentation, and all of that. And it's seven thousand dollars more

than it was just years ago. And these are, these are the subtle costs that are being imposed on us.

And who can afford, you know, it's ridiculous to believe that working in middle-income people

are going to be able to pay 50, 60, 70 thousand dollars for a basic family kind of a car.

So what can you conclude from that? You can conclude they're trying to make it so that regular,

you know, working in middle-income people can no longer afford a drive. Oh, that's absolutely it.

Absolutely. They did everything they could to incentivize the EVs. And now, as you see, and as you

and I talked about this for the longest time, I said, well, we know what's going to happen. They're

giving them preferential treatment. They're subsidizing them. They're banning other cars from these

low-emission zones. You can only go in there if you've got an electric vehicle. Now they're coming

out to the electric vehicles. Now they're taxing them by the mile and doing other things like that.

We know that that's the way they want to go because then that requires that they track you all

the time, right? So many aspects of this, but the bottom line is that they don't want you to have

mobility because mobility leads to liberty. Just like that was our lifeline during COVID stuff

as the car. And I'm going to take it away. How much more effective the lockdowns would have been

if the majority of the cars that were in circulation, if they could have, you know,

thrown the proverbial switch, let's say, and simply disabled the vehicles remotely,

the lockdowns would have been a whole lot more effective. I certainly wouldn't have been able

to do what I did, which was to jump in my truck and have a look at what was going on out in the

real world. You know, I would drive by the local regional hospital just to see whether, you know,

the bodies were stacking up and the lines were forming outside. And then I did videos and reported

that. And of course, I got demonetized on YouTube for doing that. I was able to do it. You know,

I live out in the country. If I had been, if I had been stuck with a connected vehicle and EV

and they just shut it off, what am I going to do? I'm going to bicycle the 30 miles into the city

to, you know, to see what's going on. It's probably not. Yeah, with all the electronics in it,

they can very easily geofence you out of any area that they want or keep you in the areas that

they want to keep you in. Let's, let's go down memory lane because it's one of the things I love

about airpagersauto.com, the fact that you go back and look at some of the things that we have

grown up with and you've got an article talking about the things that are no longer seen. Talk

about a little bit of this. Yeah. Yeah, that's fun. Just interactively. You know, like,

guys, our age, you know, if you went to a car show, we were kids, let's say, and you looked at

a Model T Ford and you saw all these these strange things in the car, you know, what's this little

lever on the steering column? Dude, what is that? You know, you had to have an old timer come along

and explain to you, you know, what these things did and how the car worked. Well, you and I are

familiar with things like, you know, I'm my old muscle car that I have out in the garage, my 76

Pontiac Trans-Am. It's got this little little four-amounted dimmer switch. Show it to a 20-year

thing. Know what that is. You know, that's gone. You don't see that anymore. Well, you know,

time progresses. And I kind of thought, well, okay, imagine 30 years from now if we still have

car shows and, you know, and people are looking at vehicles from this time, 30 years from now.

And they're going to see things like these weird little rectangular things, you know, what is

that for? What do you do with that? And we'll have to explain, yeah, there was a time, you know,

we plugged in our devices and these things. So that was just one example. You know, there are

a number of others, you know, people who are too young to have remembered the 90s. You remember when

they had those those those seat belts that that buckled you in when you opened the door? Oh, I

had a car that had the the Volkswagen Rabbit that I had did that. It had a knee bar to keep you from

getting hung, I guess. And you know, if you submarine under the seat belt, but the seat belt was

actually plugged in to the door. So when we opened it up, it would pull it out and you could just slide

out. And I remember taking Karen's grandmother in it and it would fluster her to know. She didn't

how to get out of it. She trying to pull herself up and around it. She'd always wrap herself up

and the seat belt. I don't have to go around detach it from the from the door to get her out. It

was it was it was kind of crazy. Yeah. Yep. Those have been out of production now since

I think the late 90s really 2000s. I can't remember when they when they were last available new.

But so it's been 25 years. Mm-hmm. So, you know, somebody who's 25 today will probably have

absolutely no memory of those kinds of things. So, you know, when they see. One thing you mentioned

is opera windows. That's it. There's another one. That was a strange thing when it was done.

An opera window. But I guess the way we used to have these things called personal luxury

coupes, you know, models like the old Chevy Monte Carlo. And the infamous the infamous Chrysler

Cortoba, you know, the car bomb on didn't those commercials. And actually they were neat cars. They

were sort of they were big cars, but they had two doors. You don't see that very often. And they

had fine Corinthian leather, whatever that was. I'm in leather. And one of the features that they

used back then to signify that you were driving something luxurious was the opera window,

which was this round piece of glass fixed glass. It didn't open. That was on the the rear

sea pillar of the car, you know, before the area where the rear glass is that that supports the

roof. And it was just considered very stylish, very chic, you never see that sort of thing anymore.

It's gone the way of T-tops to university T-tops anymore. That's right. And of course,

I think of opera windows. I think of American graffiti and that thunderbird that I think it was

Suzanne Summers was in in that movie. But the other thing you don't see, which is kind of in

your picture here. And that is the fake vinyl roof setter there. And in the picture that you've

got here, it's like a one quarter vinyl roof. It was chic to make it look like you had a convertible,

even if you didn't have a convertible. And now when we talk about, you know, drive around, we

we have a convertible. We put the top down. And when I see another convertible out,

look over and invariably, there's some old geezer like me that's driving it.

I know. It's quite something. Now, you know, the thing I put more on the most is that,

you know, we no longer have genuine luxury cars. There was once a distinction between a luxury

car and a sports car. And then because everybody decided they had to be BMW, this began in the 80s.

And then in the mid light, BMW was considered sort of had to have either the Euro-Cash-A thing.

Everybody wanted to be like, like BMW. And instead of having like really comfortable

three-across bench seats, for example, and a comp, and a ride that was designed to be

plush. You're not in a hurry. You're just, you're wanting a comfortable smooth riding car.

Now we all have luxury sport cars with these Sinshuun bucket seats. And I look, I like sporty cars.

The point is everything doesn't have to be sporty. Now, many of them are sporty. It's absurd.

You know, they all ride on 18, 19-inch wheels and you know, they have rough rides.

You know, those who have a hard car, they're kind of people who have never had the chance to ride

in a big land yacht American car from the 70s or really missing out on something.

There used to be a really profound difference in the way you felt when you were driving something

like a Cadillac sedan de ville or an old 98 and something like my Trans-Am. I mean, there was

a big, big difference. Now, they pretty much all drive the same. Your perspective of the make-model

type of car, they're all pretty much the same. Yeah, I remember my dad had a big Cadillac sedan de ville.

And my car was a little Triumph Spitfire. And to go from one to the other,

rip your head off. You know, like you said, this gigantic smooth riding bench seat and everything

is like a mobile living room. And then you go from that to this little tiny rattling thing

that's looking like you can drive underneath the truck that's right next to you. It truly was

amazing. Yeah, those are the days, weren't they? Yeah. Yeah. And I think it's a shame that there was

this concerted effort, a marketing effort to kind of make fun of, you know, the old man's car,

the, you know, the sedan de ville with the white walls and the wire up caps. I think lost something

as a result of that. You know, we've lost the diversity and difference that used to exist in

the marketplace. Everything is just homogenously, bleakly the same now. And there's something

ridiculous about all these 300 horsepower, 400 horsepower cars, puttering along, you know,

at just barely the speed limit. That's right. That's right. I can, I can deal with it when I,

you know, when I roll up behind somebody who's driving saying old Volkswagen Beetle because I

used to have one, I know the car's struggling to keep up, you know, it's having a tough time

to keep 5 or 70 miles an hour. But it's just obnoxious to have to come up behind some guy,

you know, driving 47 and 55. And he's driving his truck with, you know, 400 horsepower V8.

It's just, it's gratuitously stupidly wasteful, in my opinion.

And I see it as an almost, as a temptation that I almost cannot get past when I've got these

big engines and lower speed limits. So I don't like that aspect of it as well. It's like they're really

tempting me to do something here. Well, it's always great talking to you, Eric. Thank you for joining us.
