I finally have the fog of this mung, this flu.
It's gone.
Finally.
I told a friend of mine, it's like a cross between death and schizophrenia.
It's the weirdest thing.
But I'm back.
And I'm glad to be with you.
And I want to talk about some good stuff tonight.
And I want you to be smart.
And I want you to be aware.
And I want you to be able to go out and tell others what's going on.
I want you to make them understand.
The way it is.
Do me a favor.
Reject everything you hear from everybody.
It's a regurgitation of the obvious.
Did you see this thing today?
Mediaite came up with the 75 biggest, most impressive news media.
Joe Rogan was 24. I don't know what happened just now, but...
Pardon me, I don't know what that is.
But anyway.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, one and all.
Before I forget, let me tell you something right now.
I return to the cutting room.
To the cutting room.
On February the 3rd.
It's just around the corner.
I have not been on stage, and I have not got the chance to meet with you.
Cutting Room is a storied...
It's probably the best venue for what we do.
It'll be the chance to talk, but also, here's the most important thing.
It's not stand-up.
I hate stand-up.
It's talking.
Discussing, lecturing, but give and take?
I hand out cards and we respond.
It's like this beautiful accordion kind of a give and take.
So February 3rd, please join me.
Tickets are on sale.
Nobody does it like I do.
May not be the best.
May not be the best.
May not be perfect.
But nobody does what I do.
Nobody.
You're not going to see anybody, any comedian, go on TV and say, yeah, throw questions at me.
Hit me with a zinger.
Throw a few curveballs at me.
Let me see if I can just surprise me.
Wing it.
What?
We're going to talk about that.
Okay, so a couple of things.
First, we have to get to the bottom again of this idiocy.
Involving taking President Trump off of the list, off of the primary, because of his alleged and putative violation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
We'll go through this.
I'll explain to you.
And I also, what I want to do, rather than just talk about stuff, I want you to be able to learn something.
So that when you meet your pain-in-the-ass friends, you can say, well, here's something you don't know.
Here's something you don't know.
Look at this.
Liz Solak says, it's a cozy venue.

Thank you for that, dear friends.
Now, a couple things.
This morning, we talked about this, and in case you weren't here this morning, my question is, if somebody were to say to you, if somebody were to say to you, there he is, hang on a second, Veritas464 says, hey, Mr. Nation, good day from down under.
Have I missed much?
Have you missed much?
No.
But I'm so glad.
God bless the Aussies.
God bless you.
And thank you very much for your kindness.
Dear, dear friend, Mr. Veritas.
Truth!
Veritas.
Let me ask you a question.
If I ask you, is it possible for the President Would it be proper to exclude it from the ballot based upon the 14th Amendment, Section 3, what would you say?
What would you say?
Come on.
Tell me.
What would you say?
What would you say?
Now, I mean, think like a lawyer.
What would you say?
Let's wait.
Nope.
Why, though?
Why?
Don't just say no, but say why.
Tell me why.
Why?
Why can you not do that?
Why is he ineligible for removal?
Why?
Trump is a Democrat.
Trump is a Democrat, Lionel.
Nothing will happen to him.
Okay.
Who owns Congress?
Case of presidential eligibility starting with a fact-finding trial.
No.
Those were funny.
No.
Come on.
What are you just guessing?
Hasn't been proven guilty?
Don't have to be proven guilty.
Maybe.
What's the thing I always tell you?
What's the thing I always tell you, dear class?
What do I always tell you?
Veritas, what do I tell you?
He never held office.
What?
Trump never held office.
You better put that cough syrup down.
By the way, did some NyQuil the other day?
Hey, hey!
In the white room!
Alright.
Not indicted.
Don't have to be.
I love this.
You're just throwing stuff out there.
Not indicted.
I like when Lionel puts his lawyer hat on.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
What's the thing that we do?
What do we always do?
Federal rules in that state?
Nope.
Well, yeah, maybe.
Trump was not an officer.
He was a president.
Steve?
Steve was listening this morning.
Come on, it's your country.
Let us read this, shall we, my friends?
Let's read this.
Read this very, very carefully.
Let's read this together.
Shall we?
Let's read section three.
Okay?
And I can pick my teeth.
Do this.
No person, now listen to me, follow along.
No person shall be a senator, that's not it, or representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office,
there we go, there we go, civil or military, under the United States, Or under any state who, listen carefully, so that's Trump.
That part of it has been satisfied.
Who, having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress?
No.
Did he take an oath as an officer of the United States?
No.
Did he take an oath as a member of any state legislature?
No.
Did he take an oath as an executive or judicial officer of any state?
No.
Well, he's not eligible under this.
He's not maybe an officer.
He's not an officer.
So, right off the bat, that's it.
But let's assume it were to follow.
It says, shall have engaged in insurrection.
So do you see how this works, dear friend?
Do you see how this works?
Two things.
He had to have taken an oath before.
President's not in there.
Now, this was after Civil War.
This was after Reconstruction.
This was...
And then later on, there were the amnesty statutes that gave, like, you know, Jefferson Davis.
I think he was granted amnesty, like, in 1978.
You know, they did.
They took their time.
But that's the thing.
Now, here's another question.
This is even more arcane.
Let's look at Section 4. Section 4, read this with me.
This is under the same statute.
This is post-Civil War, post-Reconstruction.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing Insurrection or rebellion shall not be questioned.
Okay?
I like that.
Keep going.
But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.
Well, I don't think not.
Or any claim for the loss of emancipation of any slave.
Do you understand what that means?
This reinforces the idea that this is about the Civil War.
It's not about anything else.
Section 4, within this particular parameter, section 4, This is exactly what we're talking about.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Now, the issue you have, and the issue that you may want to consider, look at this Veritas again.
God bless you.
Veritas says, sound, sound the clarions, strike up the fife.
And throughout this sensual world, proclaim one crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.
Thy name is revolution.
God damn, that's beautiful.
That is excellent.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That is beauteous.
Beauteous maximus.
That is beauteous.
I love that.
Let me get rid of that.
Okay, there we go.
Now let me ask this question.
You're going to hear people suggest, and it's happening in New York, it's going to happen everywhere.
And what do you think is going to happen?
It's going to take whatever lust for Trump, I can't think of no other word, and elevate it to a level nobody could even imagine.
Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to that, you have to ask ourselves, what is the intention?
Was it, and this is where Nino Scalia and the originalists come in, what was the intention?
Do you think?
That it would be the province or that the drafters of the Constitution would have ever countenanced or allowed there to be any...
Oh, what's the word?
A...
How do I say this?
Do you think there would have been...
Any intention to have the franchise, the vote, the vote subverted by the ability to say, I think you committed an insurrection or a rebellion.
Why?
I just do.
Are you going to have an individual fact finder determine that?
No.
Is this statute self-executing?
Yes.
You mean it's just in place?
Yeah.
So, I can do this too?
Oh no, you can't do it.
No, no, wait, wait.
I think that when Kamala Harris stood before the people and said, And said that she was in support of those individuals,
those rioters, those individuals who were involved in the George Floyd riots, the BLM riots, the whatever.
I think those were grand Americans.
That's what I think.
Really?
Well, I think you committed an insurrection yourself.
Why?
Well, because you are aiding, abetting, counseling, procuring, hiring.
You are in essence, you are an accomplice.
You are an accomplice.
To what amounts to what actually is the same thing you claimed and President Trump did.
And what did President Trump do?
Nothing.
Did he say, I want you to go over there, go to that White House and the Capitol, and you get that bastard, that guy, that Mike Pence, and you better tell you, drag his ass out here!
And make sure you better make him, make sure you better, you better do this, Mike, or there's going to be hell to pay.
Now, that would be something.
That's not what he said.
That's not what he said at all.
That didn't close.
What exactly did he do?
What did the president do to incite or, and by the way, they didn't say incite insurrection.
They say commit insurrection.
They said that he had to commit insurrection.
He was committing it.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
What did the president do?
Now, insurrection.
There is a fellow, by the way.
There was a I think it was called a channel.
It was on my loop.
It was called Legal Eagle or something like that.
And he kept using the word sedition.
Now, wait a minute.
Hold it.
People are using words.
And I don't, they use these words and they think that all the words are, well, you know what I mean.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
There are some times when these words are very, very critical and they mean something in particular and you can't, you just get, there's sedition, there's rebellion, there's insurrection, there's...
a Treason.
Oh, a lot of people love treason.
He's a traitor!
No, he's not a traitor.
He's a traitor!
No, traitor is giving aid and confidence.
They didn't even get the Rosenbergs on traitor.
See, nobody...
If I teach you one thing, read the statute.
Read the statute.
Let's have some fun, shall we?
Let me see this.
Treason.
Federal law.
Very simple.
2381.
18 U.S.C.
2381.
Whoever owing allegiance to the United States levies war against them or adheres to their enemies giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere is guilty of treason and shall suffer death or imprisonment And fined and incapable of holding office.
What does that mean?
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, is that us?
Okay, a citizen.
Levies war against them, the United States, or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
What does it even mean, aid?
Come on.
Comfort.
Oh.
Poor, poor Viet Cong.
I don't even know what that means.
I never have.
Remember what's his name?
Robert, you know what I mean.
The FBI, Robert, whatever his name is.
The Rosenbergs.
They weren't charged with treason.
They were charged with, you know, espionage, things like that.
Treason is the worst.
It's this Terrible charge.
You don't want to charge people with treason.
But we use it all the time.
Read the statute.
How about this?
Insurrection.
Federal law.
Right?
This is what's great about Google.
What does this mean?
18 U.S. Code.
18 U.S.A.
2383.
Rebellion or insurrection.
Listen to this one.
Whoever incites, sets on foot, Excuse me.
Assists or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof or gives aid or comfort thereto shall be fine.
But that doesn't tell you.
What do you mean?
What is a rebellion?
What is a rebellion?
What does a rebellion mean?
Well, let's look.
Rebellion.
Federal law.
See how we're breaking this down?
Rebellion or insurrection is a federal offense that criminalizing, inciting, engaging in, or giving aid and comfort to any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States.
A rebellion is usually an organized Armed and often violent resistance to government authority.
What does that mean?
Resistance to authority.
That means, no, you're not going to do something.
As opposed to, hey, you do something.
Is that a rebellion?
Do the right thing, Congress.
Don't certify that vote.
Trump won.
Biden didn't.
Is that a rebellion?
You're saying, no, I don't think he won.
Don't say that.
Why can't I say that?
Because why?
Why?
Don't.
It's the most ridiculous bullshit.
You mean to tell me I can't say anything?
Rebellion, it's engaging and giving inner comfort to a rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States.
A rebellion is usually an organized, armed, and often violent resistance to government authority.
I'm not resisting authority.
You know, get your hands off me.
No, I'm not going to be drafted.
No, I'm not going to follow these laws.
That's kind of resistance.
You're saying affirmatively, we reject these findings.
Why can't you say that?
Why is that a rebellion?
Now, once you trespass, let's assume nobody went into the White House, or the Capitol.
What would happen then?
What would happen?
Here's one thing.
Sedition.
Now, this is a good one.
Excuse me.
Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution, an incitement of discontent towards or insurrection against established authority.
Oh, give me a break.
What does that even mean?
That's what I want to do.
I want to incite discontent.
According to the U.S. Code, sedition is a crime that involves two or more people conspiring to overthrow the U.S. government by force.
This includes Destroying the government?
You think that guy with the iPad, you think the Proud Boys are going to destroy it?
Opposing government authority?
Well, yeah.
I don't...
I oppose this plan on validating this vote.
Preventing the application of the law.
Okay, now that's it.
That's an interference.
Interfering with the certification of the statute.
That could be taking U.S. property without authority.
Okay.
Sedition is probably...
Excuse me.
Sedition is one of those things that probably makes the most sense of them all.
Veritas says, Oops!
Hope no one paid me credit for the quote.
The credit didn't stick in the message.
Here it is from The Call by Thomas Osbert Mordole.
I love it.
Thank you for that.
No, listen, I know you're smart, but I figured that it did have a certain degree of verbal antiquity to it.
And then, that's not a rebellion, that's a writ of mandamus.
Ah!
Writ of mandamus.
Where you are to do something, writ of mandamus, this is in law called the extraordinary writs, writ of prohibition, writ of mandamus, quo warranto.
By what authority do you do that?
Excuse me?
Why are you doing that?
That's an extraordinary writ.
This is not, to me, when I think of resistance, You know, I was watching today Veritas, you might remember this, there was a smiling, I'm guilty of sedation.
You and the Ramones.
I was watching the 1968 Chicago Convention, right?
And they were just rioting and They were fighting the cops, and even though a party, the convention, a political party's convention,
is not necessarily an act of government, it is, I think one could certainly say, it is the interruption of an event that is occurring.
And the bottom line is simply this.
Donald Trump didn't do any of this.
It's not because I like him.
It's not because I want him to win.
I do.
He just didn't do it.
He didn't do it.
And I'm sorry.
And we can't pretend he did something wrong.
We can't pretend he violated the law.
Because mediaite doesn't like him.
And this is going to do nothing but make him this Teflon, Kevlar, bulletproof god.
This political juggernaut.
That is going to kick everybody's ass.
And what they're doing is they're trying to condition you to be afraid of marching, arguing, shaking your fist and saying, we've been robbed, we've been screwed, we've been, you know.
I can think of no...
Tell me, tell me how anybody who was talking about can look at the George Floyd riots, Antifa, targeted urban shock troops, domestic terrorism, organized, choreographed, specifically constructed.
Groups and swaths and swarms of humanity to do violence, destroy property, hurt, mangle, maul, even kill.
You tell me that's not insurrection or rebellion?
I'm tired of this.
I am tired of this.
And every time I think, I cannot...
I want this guy.
I want Trump for president for 50 reasons.
One, we need it.
I did a show today.
It was a very, very, very interesting show.
And I had a wonderful time, and I enjoyed thoroughly this, let me see here, this wonderful piece, if you will.
And it was a very interesting thing.
It was a great piece with a fellow named Clayton Morris from the show Redacted.
And it was wonderful.
And I had a great, great time.
Very good show.
Very good.
Very smart.
Very intelligent.
Very, very good.
And I said, and I think Clayton appreciated it, I said, you know, you've got to understand this, and you've heard me say this before, Trump is chemotherapy.
Trump is chemotherapy.
He's radiation.
He's this thing that you only use when the patient He's dying.
He's chemotherapy.
You only use this in the case of the patient who is dying.
You may not need Trump when things are okay.
Things are never okay.
But in order for us to completely redirect, reroute, refocus, remark, Re-aim, re-trajectory, whatever, the path of the government.
We need him to go in and blow this thing up, figuratively.
We need him to go in and raise holy hell and to cause what is called a shitstorm.
It's the official word for it.
And to cause a cacophony, an absolute concatenation of this political explosion, where people are screaming because he's back.
And when he wins, he is to have no inauguration.
No parties.
No guests.
He's going to go in and he's going to start signing stuff.
And he's not going to hold them up like he did last time.
Like, look!
Look, I signed my first order.
No, no, no.
He is going to start to...
He's going to have things.
He is going to unravel, unhinge, un...
derail, disconnect.
All of this inherent, you know, that selective, that horrible federal system that keeps these corrupt vermin in office for years.
Veritas says, Trump is the dose of salt the people wish to administer to the government.
Like any purgative, it is not always pleasant.
However, it is absolutely necessary for a clean and functional system of government, in my humble opinion, and I agree with you 100%, and I love the purgative emesis, the physic.
We need a physic.
It is so clear.
It is so clear.
Now, it's not without a problem.
Not without problems.
Not without a hiccup here and there.
That's okay.
I can take a hiccup.
Edie Crowley says, does not the preamble make room for rebellion against perceived despotism?
Interesting.
Does not the preamble make room for rebellion against perceived despotism?
That's a very good question.
In every situation there is, it is presumed, it is understood, that you have an affirmative duty to resist subjugation, criminality.
There is something called necessity.
And necessity is a wonderful defense.
Necessity is a defense That says, oh, I did it, but here's why.
It's like an affirmative defense.
It's like the insanity defense.
Have you ever been driving on the road and you will say, oh my god, we're going on the wrong street.
Well, just pull into this driveway and let's go the other way.
That's trespass.
You're committing trespass.
Did you know that?
You're entering in the property of another without permission.
There's no excuse for...
You can't drive in somebody's driveway.
You can't do that.
You can't go and park your car in somebody else's...
But you can say, but I had to do this in order to turn around and go the other way.
It's almost like an easement.
I had to do this.
Escape from a prison is illegal unless the prison is on fire.
Then you have the excuse of necessity, the defense.
Years ago, there were people who, Amy Carter, I think, when she was, they were trying to attack missiles or violate, they were trying to hammer the nose cones of rockets or something, and they tried to implement or use the defense of necessity.
In order to prevent wars, whatever.
Well, I think that when somebody is saying this, if we see that somebody is trying to basically take over our country, we can use the defense of necessity to explain that which we are doing.
My friends, again, I ask you, please make sure you're subscribed to this channel.
And also remember one thing which is so important, dear, dear, dear friends.
It's so critical right now for you to remember that as we talk about Gaza and we talk about the people who are under attack, however you want to look at it, however you want to look at it, food insecurity is one of the claims you always hear.

Indeed, my friends.
Indeed.
Indeed.
Let me say that to you.
I will tell you that there's so much that we should be talking about in addition to the regular things right now, but anytime we can read the Statutes.
Anytime.
Let me give you an example of something.
I had a client recently, and I love doing this.
I had a case where a client is a lessor of an apartment, and all of a sudden, the ceiling caves in.
Now, if I were to go to you and say, okay, research it.
Where would you start?
How do you think?
What are the issues, you ask?
What is the lessors, the landlords, the whatever, what is their duty to maintain repairs?
What are the defenses that they would have?
What does the law say regarding your state?
Anybody ever have this case before?
You're in a golf club, like a driving range.
And all of a sudden this ball flies over and cracks your windshield.
Who's liable?
Anybody?
Is there an assumption of risk?
Is that the...
The risk that you assume when you go to a place where they're swinging balls around?
Or is it incumbent upon the owner of the range to cordon off the area with screens to prevent errands?
These are just things.
Read the statute.
What does it say?
When you're charged with speeding, go to the statute.
Read what it says.
It takes you no time whatsoever.
Ask yourself.
We used to ask the question, what is a natural-born citizen?
Is Barack Obama a natural-born citizen?
And it appears, by all information, that yes, he submitted something and he said, well, that's it.
Yes, but Joe Arpaio said, well, I'm not Joe Arpaio.
Yes, but somebody said that the short form, well, maybe that hasn't been determined.
Yes, but...
Excuse me, you're reading too much into this.
It says he provided something.
That seems to be...
If you want to rebut that, go ahead.
What about Ted Cruz?
He was born in Canada.
How does that work?
People say, well, it's okay.
His parents are...
What do you mean his parents?
What does that have to do with anything?
Do we just...
How come we're not talking about Ted Cruz?
About Obama?
We're going crazy with him.
Wow.
Here is a question I have.
Whenever somebody talks about there are women, excuse me, men who are participating in women's sports.
Anybody read the statute?
Anybody read the regulations?
What does it say?
What does it say?
You got male division, female division.
Go ahead and read the statute.
Does it define male?
No.
What happens when you have a word?
What happens when you have a concept?
It doesn't specify it.
Because nobody thought to say, oh, do we have to say woman?
Do we have to explain what that means?
You can take judicial notice.
You can take usually accepted terms.
One of the best stories we had years ago was a A guy in Florida named Pat Whitaker.
This famous trial.
He was just legendary.
You'd always find some little loophole.
And there was a guy who was charged with my ichthyology is wrong.
But either he was catching mullet out of season or a fish or something.
Anyway, to make a long story short.
A fish, he proved that a mullet is a bird because it has a gizzard versus a whatever it was.
And he took and he said a fish is defined as such and such, ichthys, that has whatever.
And the mullet is a bottom feeder kind of in each gravel and whatever.
Sort of what he said.
And a mullet is a bird.
And they would dismiss the case.
That's it.
I told you about the case.
I was charged with somebody who was charged with throwing broken glass, which makes no sense, but that's what the statute said.
What does it mean?
Statutes.
Read them.
Assault.
What if I said to you, if you come over here one more time, I'm going to kick your ass.
If I see you near my daughter again, I'm going to kick your ass.
I'm going to hurt you.
Is that assault?
Yes or no?
I thought you were going to answer the question, but you've got to tell me why.
Why yes, why no?
Think about this.
If I see you with my daughter, if I see you wherever you are, I'm going to stop what I'm doing and kick your ass.
Do you understand that?
If I see you!
Anybody?
Anybody?
Well, guess what?
Verbal threat, yes.
Jenny's getting close.
Is it a threat?
What kind of threat, Jenny?
What kind of threat?
What kind of threat?
I don't know.
Assault is an attempted battery.
Or a present unconditional threat to do bodily harm or use force with the apparent ability to do so.
Meaning I can't be in a wheelchair and say, why you?
I can't get up.
But it's a conditional, a non-conditional.
I made a condition.
If I see you, if you see my daughter, if you come back.
Don't try this.
Please, I'm not going to take any legal responsibility for this.
But where I'm from, that is a condition.
And that is not assault.
That's something else.
That's like a promise, whatever.
Assault is immediate.
I'm going to do this now.
Now!
What if I went up with something like this?
Imagine this is your arm and went up like this.
You barely touched it.
Is that battery?
Veritas says, technical assault possible.
Battery by harassment and intimidation?
Nope.
We'll get to that in a moment.
It's very interesting.
Is this battery?
Battery, in many jurisdictions, is a first-degree misdemeanor.
Punishable by up to a year in the county jail.
Is that battery?
Yep.
The impermissible touching of another against their will.
Do they have to know about it?
Does it have to be offensive?
Does it have to be offensive?
No.
I can do something behind you.
I can do something terrible to you.
You can be knocked out.
You can be under anesthesia and I can charge you.
That's battery.
Well, you didn't know what I was doing.
There's all these little things.
People do this all the time.
Robbery.
They robbed my house.
No, they didn't.
They burglarized your house.
What?
They burglarized.
You can only rob a person.
Robbery is assault plus larceny.
Think about doing mathematics.
It's kind of a linear.
It's larceny plus assault.
Remember assault before?
Placing somebody in fear of immediate harm.
Now, add to that taking something.
Okay, so let's say somebody's walking down the street.
They look over.
Woman's got a gold chain.
She reaches over, grabs it, and takes off running.
Is that robbery?
Nope.
That's theft.
Why?
Because the force that you exhibited, the force you used, didn't.
Didn't scare them.
Didn't assault them.
It was just used to yank the chair.
The person didn't even know what you were doing.
Just like I can't rob you when you're asleep.
Robbery is this.
Give me your money.
Give it to me now.
Either strong-armed or armed.
That's robbery.
And you only rob a person, not a house.
Now, what about this?
Burglary.
Burglary.
I'm going to say, see that house?
Yeah.
I'm going to go in there.
We're going to steal some stuff.
Yeah, let's go.
Great.
And we drive right up to the...
We get on the front lawn and we're just about to go to the front lawn and I trip and I fall and I'm apprehended.
Is that burglary?
Is that burglary?
No!
I never went into the house.
You don't have to go in the house.
What?
You don't have to go in the house.
You don't have to go in the house to commit burglary?
No.
Wait a minute.
There's this wonderful thing in common law called the curtilage.
And the curtilage is the area that is immediately surrounding the property.
And it's the area that allowed you to where you could fire an arrow.
To defend the property.
So theoretically, good luck with this one.
No prosecutor is going to take this accord, but technically speaking, you don't have to...
Burglary is entering or remaining in the property, the structure, the property, the structure, dwelling, or conveyance of another.
Enter or remain.
You don't have to break and enter.
A common law was at night.
And you had to intend to commit a felony.
Most jurisdictions, I'm going in there with the intent of doing something.
Hurting you, killing you, stabbing you, raping you, stealing from you.
Not just going in.
If my intention is to get out of the rain, then that's trespass.
And as long as I break the curtilage in my attempt to, that's it.
Veritas says, Robbery with a weapon is robbery under arms.
I'm sure that we have the same common law.
That sounds like an Australian thing.
Let me ask you one, Veritas.
Here's one for you.
This is a good one.
Um, the...
Well, see, burglary is a tough one.
pass um um I had a real good one.
I had a real good one.
Oh, God.
By the way, everything that I'm saying implies that I can...
How do I say this?
Everything that I'm saying implies that I can prove this to a jury.
A lot of juries will say, I can't believe this guy's been trying this.
I mean, it's a great argument, but nobody's going to listen to me.
Everything that we do in law is man-made.
Somebody came up with it, they made up this idea, they...
Let me ask you this much.
Possession of cocaine, right?
Let's say I have a gallon of water.
A gallon.
A big gallon beaker.
And I take a bag of my cocaine and I take with little forceps a flake.
Just, you can barely see it.
And I drop it into the water.
Is that cocaine?
Yep.
The Valtax test doesn't work.
You can't even tell.
It doesn't get you high.
Here is one of my favorite ones of all time.
If you sold under 20 grams of marijuana, delivered, sold, possessed, it's a misdemeanor.
Under 20 grams.
Marijuana.
But if I sell you that same amount, that's oregano, but I sell a counterfeit controlled substance, it's a felony.
So selling you oregano, telling you it was marijuana, is a felony.
Selling you marijuana is a misdemeanor.
That is nuts!
But that's, you know, one of those things which I find fascinating.
See what I'm saying?
Alright, my friends.
Now, my friends, and to you, my dear friends, pardon me, to Edie Crowley, Veritas, thank you for your indubitable, your magnanimous, your magnanimity, your kindness, your beneficence, and the like.
Please also, I have a brand new a brand new key.
I think Melanie is saying, I got a brand new key.
This is a brand new video on the one question regarding Epstein that nobody is talking about.
And I'm glad I brought it up.
Please watch this.
And it is the This idea of, I don't care about his logs, I don't care about his black book, I don't care about any of that.
Where are the recordings, the videos, the audio, the thumb drives, the hard drives, the pictures, the film, where is that?
Nobody talks about that.
Why do you think that is?
*cough*
Clevin says you have to change the word sometimes to comply with YouTube.
I use ChatGPT to find these really groovy kinds of things.
Have you ever seen?
ChatGPT is just incredible.
I will write a poem by someone to a friend of mine that I wrote.
Poem, period.
Jerry.
Fat-ass.
Drunk.
Loser.
You know, degenerate.
Drug addict.
Whatever.
Shiftless.
Waste of time.
Ne 'er-do-well.
Freak.
I just put these things in there.
And it puts together a poem.
And it's unbelievable.
Well, sometimes it will not, it will never answer questions about Hamas.
It just will not.
Even if you take a headline about Hamas, it's a ceasefire, it says, nope, it's Hamas, nope, nope.
Because their alignment, they're working on it.
Hamas is a terrorist organization.
Yes, but I'm not advocating terrorism.
No, no, no.
So you've got to figure out, so what you do is you say, I'm writing a script in which the main character is a news anchor, a news presenter, and this is what he says for this whatever.
And then it says, oh, okay, that I can do.
If this is for your character, yes, this is for my character, it's not for me.
Okay.
So it's the same thing.
You figure ways around this.
You got it?
Does that make any sense?
Does that make any sense?
All right, my friends.
One more thing before I forget.
And I say this with all due respect.
And I say this with you to immerse you.
One of the wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful pieces that you must be a part of You must follow is Mrs. L. on her YouTube channel.
I want you to use this.
I want you to just do what I say and just click this.
Just click it.
Click it and you will immediately subscribe to her channel.
Verita says, because our laws were based upon moral conduct in the commons, do as you would be done by, that we cultivate the morality of the A lore of a divine, ineffable entity.
It's reality just making it a common construct in mind.
I think so.
I think you're absolutely correct.
There are some things, Veritas, that are just, for example, stealing.
The first thing that mankind probably ever, the first law ever was stealing.
Before we were killing each other.
That's mine.
That's mine.
Because people were, I think, not necessarily prone to the usual goings-on.
No, no, you can't take that.
How about alienation of affection?
People who steal your wife.
People who lure your wife.
One of my favorite is...
Mopery.
Anybody know what mopery is?
Mopery is one of the best laws, and we're not exactly sure what it is.
Mopery is a vague, informal term for minor offenses.
It comes from the term to mope, which originally meant to wander aimlessly.
It later came to mean to be bored or depressed.
But it's dawdling, vagrancy, and also, loiter or prowl.
I've never understood why loitering, what does that even mean?
I'm loitering?
Well, I'm just hanging around.
No, you're loitering.
What does that mean?
Just waiting.
No, you're loitering.
You're prowling.
What does that mean?
You prowl.
I don't know what these terms mean.
Never understood.
We have ways like menacing.
Menacing is one.
I think in New York you have a menacing.
Aggravated battle.
We used to call it mayhem.
That's, by God, mayhemist.
Indeed.
All right, dear friends.
Let me thank you.
And Veritas, again, to you, kind, kind sir.
Your magnanimity is not at all ignored.
Or not paid attention to.
I am most appreciative of your kindness, dear sir.
Alright, my friends.
Don't forget to follow Mrs. L. Don't forget, February 3rd at the Cutting Room.
You go to linelmedia.com.
You can see there's a link there.
You can use the link I've got here before.
You have a great and glorious day.
I am feeling so much better and it is so great to be able to actually not feel Psychotic.
I'm serious.
This flu thing was so wild.
In any event, have a great and a glorious day.
We love you madly.
See you tomorrow at 8 a.m.
Until then, my friends, remember, the monkey's dead.
The show's over.
Sue ya.
