	How did that performance measure up to your expectations coming into this meet tonight?
	I didn't have a whole lot of expectations for this meet.
	I was just happy to be here trying to race and compete as best as I could.
	You've undoubtedly been under the spotlight over the past few months.
	How have you been dealing with that and reasoning with everything?
	I try to ignore it as much as I can.
	I try to focus on my swimming, what I need to do to get ready for my races.
	And just try to block out everything else.
	What did that race mean to you?
	It means the world to be here, be with two of my best friends and teammates, and be able to compete.
	Thank you for stopping by.
	Good morning, people.
	No, it's not morning.
	It's afternoon.
	You know what?
	It was good morning to good afternoon as I said that live.
	How is everybody doing?
	Look, it's a Saturday noon.
	It's rainy.
	It's cold.
	It's disgusting outside.
	It's also my mother-in-law's 70th birthday.
	And apparently my wife got tickets to a tea party luncheon thing, which I guess some people are interested in.
	And I said, look, I'll take a hit for the team.
	I'll stay back home and watch the dogs because now not only do we have Our two dogs, we have my mother-in-law's dog, which is somewhere here.
	I told my wife, I'll stay back, I'll take one for the team, and I will watch the dogs and make sure they don't destroy the house or each other while you guys go to the tea party.
	And she said, don't worry, we didn't get you a ticket, because apparently you have to buy tickets to this, and it's like a certified luncheon thing.
	I don't know, like, do they do tea sampling, or are they gonna, like...
	Anyhow, I don't know.
	So I said, well, if I can stay home...
	In good conscience, I'm going to run a stream because the news doesn't stop happening.
	And it's like you can never rest.
	In a way, some of you out there might know that I might have something of an obsessive personality.
	And you're like, when you're in Vegas, for anybody who's ever been, and you just know, if you love playing poker, that there's always a table open.
	There's always a place to sit down and play Texas No Limit Hold 'em.
	And I mean, when we went there, and I don't go very often, I'm like, how do you sleep?
	I love playing poker more than anything.
	I don't like losing money, which is sort of a bad marriage.
	I don't like losing money, but I love playing poker.
	And you go to Vegas, you're like, how can I sleep knowing that there's a poker table where I can sit down and play poker?
	The news is now my new poker.
	You know, it's like there's always news.
	There's always something to learn.
	There's always something to understand.
	There is always something to make sense to people who can't make sense of it, who won't make sense of it, or who just don't have the time to make sense of it.
	But to quote from Russell Brand's Get Him to the Greek, and by the way, I wanted to start off with a scene from Get Him to the Greek, but I don't want to run into any copyright issues, music issues.
	There's a scene from Get Him to the Greek.
	Where Russell Brand's movie, movie, Wife in the Movie, when talking about how Russell Brand is like sculpting his body, you know, focusing on every minute muscle in his body.
	And she says, you know, there's nothing on this earth that you can't turn into heroin.
	You know, there's nothing healthy or unhealthy that people cannot successfully turn into an addiction.
	And I've got a theory that life is about finding the healthy constructive addictions to replace.
	Or substitute for the unhealthy destructive addictions.
	We're going to get to Russell Brand in a bit.
	Okay, Bambuga, I'm trying not to get in trouble on the interwebs and engage in thoughtful and meaningful discussion.
	Thank you for the super chat.
	Good to see you here.
	To another wonderful day for all of us.
	So, first things first.
	Short notice.
	So if you haven't sent out the link on social media interweb platforms and you're on them, go ahead and do it.
	It'll help get this out there.
	But bottom line, I think I'm such an idiot, like never realized that Tim Pool had the format.
	I would spend all day, five hours, looking into one story, researching that one story, editing, shooting that video in my car, editing it, putting it out there, and then there's 15 other stories that I want to talk about, and I think this is just the way to do it, is stream, go over each story in more meaningful detail than you will see anywhere else on the news.
	Then I clip it, put it on the second channel, Viva Clips, if you're not already on there.
	And this way we can tackle multiple issues in meaningful ways.
	And I think I still bring the energy, even if it's not quite as Philip DeFranco, not one nanosecond of silence in between sentences.
	Viva, do you know who Akira the Dawn is?
	Yes.
	In fact, Akira the Dawn is going to come on at some point.
	We were supposed to go live together a while back, before Christmas, I think.
	But, like...
	I hope no one ever takes it personally when scheduling just doesn't work out and just life happens.
	But Akira the Dawn is coming on.
	His music tribute, although it was before Norm Macdonald passed away, of Norm Macdonald, magnificent.
	His work is just magnificent.
	He was on Eric Hunley's channel at one point.
	I never knew the dude was British until I heard him talk.
	Or that he was exquisitely ripped, like UFC fighter ripped.
	He's going to be on, so stay tuned.
	Standard disclaimers.
	YouTube takes 30% to Super Chats.
	If you don't like that, Rumble, where we are currently live streaming as well.
	Let me just go make sure.
	Apparently there's liquid detected in my iPhone and it's not charging.
	We should be simultaneously streaming on the Rumbles.
	We are.
	Rumble has the equivalent of Super Chats called Rumble Rants.
	Rumble takes 20%, so better for the creator, better for those who want to support a platform that actually supports free speech.
	If I don't bring your super chat up and you're going to be upset, don't do it.
	I don't like people being upset.
	Just don't give it.
	It is a gracious method of supporting the channel, supporting what I do, and I genuinely appreciate it.
	But if you're going to be miffed, feel like I shilled you or rooked you or grifted you, whatever, if I don't bring it up, just don't give it.
	It'll make it a lot easier and we'll all feel good.
	On the menu, we're going to talk about Leah Thomas and some horrendously bad takes.
	From people who purport to be doctors and media outlets.
	Just by chance...
	Oh, it doesn't matter.
	We'll get there.
	We're going to talk about Russell Brand.
	Because I was reading this article in The Independent.
	I mean, I was so curious as to how bad the article was going to get.
	I actually had to give them my email address in order to continue reading.
	But I gave them my Yahoo address.
	So enjoy sending spam to my Yahoo account, Independent.
	The article is so bad.
	So offensive in its shameless, lacking insight, confession through projection, the journalist that wrote that should be ashamed of himself.
	He should be ashamed of himself, and I'm sure that he is.
	There is no way that whoever wrote that piece can be proud of themselves.
	No way.
	Okay, let me see what we've got here.
	Sheriff Viva, you have the hair to be the lead singer of Styx in the early 80s.
	Oh.
	It is getting there.
	It's getting quite flowy.
	The fro must flow.
	That's like the salt must flow, but it'll be with the fro instead.
	Hold on.
	I saw a Copenhagen super chat that I want to bring up.
	Hold on.
	Give me a second here.
	Oh, come on.
	There's that.
	And I believe here it is.
	Here it is.
	Okay, good.
	Thomas Caldwell, because I remember the...
	C-O-P.
	Meaningful issues like the wild state of your hair and the release of Juicy Smilla and his privilege.
	First of all, Thomas, thank you, and I know you're not using the word privilege seriously.
	I have grown to loathe the word privilege.
	People use it, and they don't understand what it means.
	People use the term privilege interchangeably with good fortune, and they don't understand the difference in that one is random, the other is reserved.
	People also use the word privilege interchangeably with hard work and the fruits of one's labor.
	As though hard work and producing success is privilege, it might be a bit of luck, and it always is, because for every one person that succeeds due to their hard work, 99 others don't.
	It's not always a failure due to lack of privilege or anything other than being there the moment the phone rings.
	Hate to quote Woody Allen.
	But Woody Allen once said, you know, 99% of success is picking up the phone.
	You can work your entire life and then miss that phone call and never have that moment.
	And people think that...
	Oh, hold on one second.
	John Nickel.
	You know what?
	It's funny.
	I see the comment before I see the chatter.
	And John Nickel, you have a good batting rate in terms of me pulling up your chats randomly.
	I hate...
	I have privilege.
	The privilege to watch Viva Friday.
	That is not privilege, sir.
	That is good fortune, because watching Viva Frye is not exclusively reserved to any class.
	It's not exclusively reserved to any demographic.
	It is not withheld from any demographic.
	So having a computer could be privileged, but most likely is good fortune, good luck, and arguably the fruits of one's labors if you've worked, saved up, and bought the computer.
	But yeah, quoting Woody Allen, 99% of success is picking up the phone.
	People always talk about overnight successes and the luck of the draw and bamboo grows six feet overnight, ignoring that it took 12 years for the bamboo seed to lay that foundation so that when it grows six feet overnight, it doesn't just fall over on its own weight.
	So that's what's going on.
	I love the format.
	My only issue with this format is I feel bad or that I might be stepping on toes when I overlap with other people's time.
	If I randomly go live in the morning and overlap with Scott Adams, I don't want Scott being miffed.
	If I go live at 7 o 'clock and then overlap with Tim Pool, I don't want people feeling I'm stepping on toes.
	But at the end of the day, I think pretty much all 24 hours of the day is occupied at some point in time with the legal analysis law verse.
	You got Scott in the morning from 9 to 11. You got Rakeda all day and all night.
	You got uncivil law at night.
	You got Brody, Nate the lawyer, who's pretty random in his live streaming schedule.
	You got Tim Pool at night.
	So I think we all have to just be forgiving, assume good intentions, and live with the fact that we are now in an ecosystem where people are going to overlap.
	And if people can't catch it live, they can catch it later.
	Oh, yes.
	And of course, Joe Rogan.
	I've overlapped with Joe Rogan.
	Did you just say I grow six feet overnight?
	No, you're...
	Oh, real bamboo.
	And oh, my God.
	You know what?
	I forgot this whole discussion we had.
	I always read it as bamboonga, like the sound effect you'd have in a cartoon.
	Not the real bamboo non-governmental authorization or whatever.
	Lead singer of Styx was Dennis DeYoung.
	I was a busboy at his country club in the 1980s.
	That dude was an absolute D-bag.
	Well, there is the old expression, never meet your heroes.
	All right, man.
	So what do we have on the menu?
	People wanted a Pat King update, and that's going to be the easiest one to talk about, but it'll give us an excuse to just go over the entire convoy, Tamara Lich.
	Ben Dictor.
	We'll go over the whole situation.
	Not much news until at least Monday of next week.
	We're going to talk about Leah Thomas because I'm sitting there in the middle of the night.
	I'm sitting there in the middle of the night after I've expressed myself in what I think is a thorough, thoughtful, and meaningful, and above all else, respectful way.
	I'm sitting up in the middle of the night like, am I going to get cancelled for what I just said?
	Am I going to get an internet mob of people angry?
	At what I said, how I expressed myself, and whatever.
	But as I'm thinking about it, I had a thought, and when I get into the Leah Thomas bit, remind me, people, it goes back to my high school wrestling, where one could choose to wrestle up a weight category, but you could never choose to wrestle down a weight category.
	So we're gonna get there.
	Remind me if I forget that that was my revelation in the middle of the night.
	Number three is Russell Brand.
	We've gotta read that article.
	It's...
	It's outrageous.
	It's outrageous.
	Okay.
	Let me see if I can get also some non...
	Oh, so what I wanted to do simultaneously was set up a live chat on locals so that locals could ask questions and that I could address them in real time.
	And I was...
	Let me do that right now.
	I was going to do that.
	Enable live stream.
	Oh, I don't know how to do it.
	Questions here for live stream now.
	Get your questions in and I will answer them!
	Sorry for the short notice.
	And let's just go like this.
	Yeah, I was going to try to do a screen share, but I don't want to get anybody potentially in trouble on Locals who might be a member or follow us on Locals if they don't necessarily want the whole world knowing.
	So let me see.
	I'm going to do this and I'll get to questions from our Locals community and make sure to...
	Do that.
	I'm going to go pin that to the top of the locals' community.
	Done.
	All right.
	Russell Brand.
	My first pronunciation was correct.
	Good.
	Oh, Fox News.
	Thank you for reminding me.
	Putin won the free world.
	Hopefully now we'll be rid of...
	Okay, dude.
	Sorry.
	Sometimes I will bring up a chat without having read it, and then I cannot be blamed for what that chat says.
	We're talking Fox News because I haven't watched Fox News in a while.
	It was happenstance the reason for which I began or I started watching it just because it was on a TV that I couldn't really control.
	It's the funny thing about like when you haven't seen someone in a long time and when you see them again and you don't know if they've changed or you've changed but they don't look the same anymore.
	Fox News talking about Russia and talking about Putin.
	When I saw this, it was identical, mutatis mutandis, to four years ago, CNN talking about Trump and Fox News.
	I'm going to get to it, but I don't know if Fox News has changed.
	I don't know if I have changed.
	I don't know if Fox News has always been the same, but I have now pulled away from it for a sufficient period of time that I can see it for the horse crap propaganda that it is.
	I've always given them something of a hard time because they've always been, you know...
	Maybe better than CNN, but still pretty bad.
	I was watching Janine Pirro, Jesse Waters, Greg Gutfeld.
	Man, I don't know if they've changed, if I've changed, if we both changed, if the world has changed, or if I just, I'm like so far out of the matrix now, I can see it for what it is.
	The Freedom Convoy regrouped today in Toronto.
	Thank you for reminding me.
	I want to say this.
	They parked their rigs in a paid parking spot.
	The truckers are there and the party is getting started.
	Follow.
	Live from the Shed Freedom.
	Thank you, Clearview Investigations, for reminding me.
	I was actually invited down to speak.
	Oh, I forgot to get back to somebody.
	Couldn't do it because of my mother-in-law's birthday, which we celebrated last night.
	But there is a protest.
	Now, there were rumors, apparently, that the protest was canceled.
	It's going to be another peaceful protest.
	So peaceful that they're paying for their parking spots.
	Live from the Shed.
	Has been covering...
	Was covering the Ottawa protest.
	And they are apparently covering the Toronto protest now.
	Live from the shed, I had the founder, the live from the shed guy on...
	Was it this Wednesday or was it a week ago Wednesday?
	Recently.
	I had him on recently.
	Along with...
	No, it was this Wednesday.
	Five times August.
	And...
	No, it wasn't this Wednesday.
	It was last Wednesday.
	It was within the last week and a half.
	Who's live streaming down in the US at the convoy.
	And we had...
	Why am I such an absolute buffoon?
	Jake Spinney, the veteran who's at the War Memorial.
	But okay, so there's a protest in Toronto.
	Live from the Shed is covering it.
	Zot, Travel Fund 69, I believe are in the States now, covering the convoy there in DC.
	Some interesting videos coming out of there.
	So go check them out, support them, follow them, and enable them, allow them to continue doing what they're doing because we live in such a post-fact world.
	We live in a world where if you don't see it with your own eyes, you don't believe it.
	And sometimes even when you see it with your own eyes, you still don't believe it.
	When you're relying on the likes of CBC, CTV, Fox News, CNN, these people are the purveyors of the truth if only because they're just showing you what's actually happening.
	Unedited, no spin.
	I was accused by W5 of providing streams with no filter.
	I was faulted for live streaming and providing information, disseminating information, conducting interviews with no filter.
	Imagine that's what MSM, state-funded MSM, thinks is a bug and not a feature.
	So they're doing it now.
	Greg Gutfeld used to be great on Red Eye.
	It's funny, I remember them being great on things where I guess they didn't have...
	I don't know what to chalk it up to, but it was like waking up and not recognizing who you're waking up next to, is how long you slept.
	Okay, good.
	They're live now.
	Awesome.
	So, anyways, we'll start with our stream here.
	Let's just go to...
	We're going to start with the Leah Thompson NCAA women's victory that Leah had.
	I think it was yesterday.
	Making the rounds.
	And the degree to which...
	Oops, share screen.
	The degree to which it's become so impossible just to have discussions on this because I'm certain that I will be accused of something bad just by virtue of the fact that I'm sharing this interview that Leah gave after the race.
	Leah, how did that performance measure up to your expectations coming into this meet tonight?
	I...
	I didn't have a whole lot of expectations for this meme.
	I was just happy to be here.
	I don't know if that's a heckler in the background.
	There's someone screaming.
	Seems awful quiet.
	You've undoubtedly been under the spotlight over the past few months.
	How have you been dealing with that and reasoning with everything?
	I try to ignore it as much as I can.
	I try to focus on my swimming, what I need to do to get ready for my races, and just try to block out everything else.
	What did that race mean to you?
	It means the world to be here.
	So this is the interview.
	We've heard it.
	I'm going to stop sharing.
	What's amazing is that there can be...
	Zuby put out today a tweet basically to the effect that how has the minority been allowed to dictate the conversation for the majority?
	It's not to say that there should be a rule, a tyranny of the majority.
	But one cannot even have an open discussion because a vocal minority silences opposing discourse or demonizes opposing discourse on an issue that some people think is so black and white that it doesn't merit discussion, but on the other side.
	And if anyone says that this is a black and white issue, this is a biological issue that is clearly producing inequities, their discourse is stifled, shut down, whatever.
	And this is an interesting thing, by the way.
	You have to double-check everything you ever see on Earth.
	There was a photo going around, and I saw it on Reddit.
	Look, you guys, you gotta see this, because this is quite something.
	Let me just make sure that we're seeing the same thing together here.
	I saw a photo on the social medias, and I was like, oh, that photo looks interesting, but that photo could very easily be Photoshopped.
	And when I Googled it, okay, so we got this post on Reddit.
	And just to illustrate, Exactly what I'm talking about.
	Open, meaningful, thoughtful discourse.
	Even if some people find it hard to have.
	Being shut down.
	Photo from the podium as trans athlete Leah Thomas wins first place in the NCAAs.
	Okay?
	We've got two and a half thousand, for anybody who doesn't know, two and a half thousand upvote thingies, I think, on Reddit.
	Before, sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of R. Damn, that's interesting.
	Moderators remove posts from feeds for a variety of reasons, including keeping communities safe, civil, and true to their purpose.
	So once this video goes up, I don't know what the rules are for the subreddit rdam.
	That's interesting.
	But for anybody who doesn't know how Reddit works, it's an aggregate.
	They have these subcommunities, which they call subreddits.
	Oh, like rfishing, rgo-karting.
	And they've got some very, what's the word?
	Not eclectic, but very specific subreddits.
	I don't know what the rules are of damn that's interesting, but it would seem that this one picked up a lot of traction on damn that's interesting before the moderators or the gatekeepers of what goes up on any given platform before they said we're taking this down.
	Now I thought maybe they took it down because I thought maybe this photo was photoshopped.
	For anyone who wants to grab an image that's worth a thousand words, an image that defines a moment, that defines an error, that defines an issue, Seeing Leah Thomas, Leah is on a platform that is two stumps up from the three, so there's a remarkable height difference, but I believe there is a height difference in real life regardless.
	This image of Leah Thomas in first place and then three other swimmers standing together as far away as possible from Leah Thomas could be a very symbolic, a very impactful image.
	In this debate that the world is currently having, and I was like, okay, it looks a little too convenient.
	I need to make sure it's real.
	And so, you know, people out there, you want to take five minutes to avoid a world of embarrassment and a world of discrediting everything you might have spent the last seven years trying to build in terms of credibility?
	Take the two minutes to use a tool called TinEye, or Google Reverse Image Search, which I did, and which revealed that this photo is legit.
	Okay, so hold on.
	I'll get the article.
	Okay, here we go.
	I believe it's this one.
	I believe it's this article here.
	And it was The Insider.
	So this is from The Insider.
	As Olympic silver medalist who lost to Leah Thomas at NCAA championships said she's, quote, proud to support trans athletes.
	As everyone should.
	As everyone should be proud to support trans athletes, male athletes.
	Everyone should support everybody.
	To the extent that, you know, the behavior you're supporting is not bad.
	So, no question.
	We all agree on this.
	Now, the question is, how do you support trans athletes without penalizing or not supporting biological female athletes who might, arguably, if you believe in science, be at something of a biological disadvantage to a biological male trans athlete to female, maybe.
	So, we all agree.
	Support trans athletes.
	If you don't agree with that, then, you know, we can agree to disagree.
	But I think we all agree.
	Support trans athletes.
	Support biological female athletes.
	Support athletes.
	How do you do it?
	How do you support one group without trumping another?
	All this to say, though, by the way, there's the photo.
	So it's a legit photo.
	But now reading this article, reading this article, I saw something interesting.
	University of Pennsylvania swimmer and newly anointed national champion Leah Thomas found herself at the center of America's debate over transgender athletes' participation in women's sports.
	Okay, we go into the thing.
	Let's just go here.
	One day after finishing third behind Thomas and Virginia Cavaliers star Emma Wayant, Sullivan penned an op-ed for Newsweek in which she explained, quote, why I'm proud to support trans athletes like Leah Thomas.
	Fine.
	Quote, all athletes, including transgender athletes, deserve to be respected and included exactly as we are.
	End quote.
	Sullivan wrote, throughout my life, swimming has enabled me to learn so much.
	Both in and out of the pool and transgender athletes should not be excluded from this opportunity.
	We all agree on that.
	The question is, where and in what capacity should they be included in that and under what rules?
	Because nobody should be excluded from competitive sports.
	Period.
	Setting aside people who break the rules and, you know, do steroids, whatever.
	So we all agree on that.
	The question is the how now.
	But she said something else.
	This is Sullivan who said something else.
	Leah Thomas has been unfairly targeted for just that, for being who she is, a transgender woman, Sullivan wrote.
	Like anyone else in this sport, Leah has trained diligently to get to where she is and has followed all of the rules and guidelines put before.
	This is true.
	Like anyone else in this sport, Leah doesn't win every time.
	Fine, that was not the part that I found interesting.
	And when she does, she deserves, like anyone else in this sport, to be celebrated for her hard-won success, not labeled a cheater, simply because of her identity.
	And this is the part where, in the debate, people are fudging the terms.
	This is where, in the debate, people are confounding the terms, which is actually exacerbating the debate and not actually leading to any means of resolving the debate.
	Because identity is not the issue when it comes to sports.
	It's biology.
	And that is the crux, to pull out a rock climbing term.
	That's the crux of this climb here.
	Confounding identity with biology.
	Nobody should be denied equal participation to the extent that they follow the rules.
	Leah here, by all accounts, and from what I understand, did follow the rules that were set forth in terms of not exceeding a certain level of testosterone after Leah's one-year transition of testosterone suppression.
	Leah followed all the rules, from what I can tell.
	The question is whether or not the rules are just unfair for biological females.
	To allow biological males transitioning to female, even if they abide by these rules that they've set, to compete.
	The question is whether or not the rules are fair for biological females.
	But the issue is, to me, that Leah, to the extent that the rules precluded Leah from competing in women's sports, it wouldn't be because of identity.
	It would be because of biology.
	An individual can identify as whatever they want.
	The question is whether or not biology is procuring an unfair advantage that had hitherto been recognized.
	By all sport leagues, by all science.
	And this goes into the...
	Now, someone, I don't know if you remind me.
	Let me stop sharing here.
	That was the interesting thing.
	So in determining whether or not that image was a legit image, I stumbled across that article.
	The image is legit.
	Decipher what you will from that image.
	But that article, I think, highlights the issue here, that people are confounding identity with biology in terms of saying, what is...
	When trans individuals are being discriminated against or when they're being denied their identity.
	Wrestling.
	There's a reason why there's weight classes in boxing, fighting, Greco-Roman wrestling.
	UFC didn't have weight classes, by the way.
	This was another thing I wanted to pull up, but again, I don't want to get copy-strike.
	UFC is exquisitely demanding and stringent in their...
	Rules.
	Back in the early days of the UFC, there were no weight categories.
	And there was this one fight.
	Someone's going to correct me in the chat because I always mixed up the names.
	I think it was a 200-pound fighter fighting a 600-pound boxer.
	Someone in the chat, let me know who it is.
	I always forget the names.
	And it was like the most outrageous thing visually.
	But it ended up with the smaller guy pounding.
	Was he 600 or 800 pounds?
	It was one of those things where you'd say it was unfair, except the smaller guy won.
	But typically, that's not how it happens.
	Typically, the UFC heavyweights, not ultra heavyweights, they will always beat the best welterweight.
	They will always beat them.
	It's physics.
	It's muscle mass.
	It's biology.
	It is what it is.
	And you cannot deny it.
	That's why they have weight classes.
	Now, I never disagreed.
	With a lower weight class fighting up.
	GSP did it.
	You want to accept that challenge and you want to say, okay, I accept that I'm at a physiological disadvantage to fighting a weight class up, but I'm going to do it for the challenge.
	I want to do it to show that skill can sometimes overcome, well, I should say skill can sometimes overcome skill and biology because the reason why it's a challenge to fight up a weight class is because you know that all things being equal, the heavier weight class wins.
	You know, at that level.
	You want to do it, more power to you, and it's quite a challenge, and that's why, you know, fighters holding multiple titles in different weight classes, it's quite an accomplishment because not everybody can do it.
	And when I was wrestling in high school, sometimes there would be too many people wrestling in the 155 weight category, and there wouldn't be anybody in the 165 weight category.
	And so I had the option, and I often took it, to fight up a weight class, to wrestle up a weight class.
	There's no problem there.
	But intuitively and obviously, you never let the 165 who weighs in at 165 fight down a weight class, unless the lower class agrees to it, in which case, it's not the 165 fighting down, it's the 155 fighting up.
	And so, I won't read it.
	Thank you for the super chat.
	You know, fighting up a weight class by choice for the challenge, knowing the disadvantage is one thing.
	But nobody lets weight classes fight down.
	Period.
	And there's a number of reasons.
	To some point, or to some extent, it's actually unsafe.
	Because you will have people who are physically, biologically bigger, and can just impose more damage on someone who is smaller, frailer, and has less muscle mass.
	It's just common sense.
	And so, you know, in this category, it was one of the reasons why whoever remembers, let me see, did I pull this up?
	It was one of the reasons why I actually ultimately lost respect for Vijay Singh.
	First of all, I used to love watching, playing golf, and then you get married, you have kids, and you don't have five hours a day to go piss away hitting a ball through the woods.
	I used to love golf, and I used to love Vijay Singh.
	And I remember the specific day I lost respect for Vijay Singh.
	And it was when he refused to play.
	If Annika Sorenstrom...
	We're to compete in the Men's League of Golf.
	The PGA, not the LPGA.
	And I hope this was the incident.
	I thought it was when Anika Sorenstrom, when she made cut to compete with the men.
	And Vijay Singh, oh, so that's right.
	She made cut.
	I remember the tournament.
	And Vijay said, if I'm paired with her, I'm not going to play.
	I'm not going to play in the tournament.
	Listen to this.
	This was when I lost all respect for Vijay Singh.
	It was 20 years ago, and I still haven't forgotten it.
	Singh says he'll withdraw if paired with Sorenstrom.
	Quote, I disagree with that on a great many levels.
	She's not taking the spot if she made the cut.
	She made the cut.
	Therefore, that is her spot.
	And when Vijay Singh came out and said, I will not play if I'm paired with her.
	And I looked at Vijay and I said, you know, Vijay, not long ago, people were saying the exact same thing among men based on the color of their skin.
	And they were using the exact same rationale, Vijay.
	And now you're saying this to exclude women where 20 years ago, 30 years ago, they were using these same reasoning, the same rationale to exclude People with certain pigment in their skin from playing in certain leagues, playing in certain clubs.
	They have their clubs.
	Separate but equal.
	You state ears.
	If Annika Sorenstrom made the cut, she didn't take anyone's place.
	She earned her own.
	So it's not a question of keeping leagues separate.
	It's a question of respecting and acknowledging that there are just fundamental differences, by and large, and it only gets more accentuated as you get to the upper echelon of the cream of the crop.
	of those respective talent pools.
	Never forget Vijay Singh when he said that.
	What a flipping hit I hope she misses the cut, Singh said in an interview with the Associated Press after his runner-up finish at Wachovia Championship.
	Why?
	Because she doesn't belong out here.
	The sheer lack of insight and audacity for Vijay Singh in particular to say she doesn't belong here when a lot of people said something very similar.
	About other people that might have included Vijay Singh and others.
	Three or four years ago, I compared high school boys' track and field records to Women's World Records.
	Yeah, I saw there's an article out there.
	I mean, you can find it.
	There was the game of the under-16 men's team playing the women's soccer team.
	It shouldn't be controversial to acknowledge these things.
	But, lo and behold, did I miss this chat here?
	Viva Fry, I'm announcing that I've officially given up on humanity and I'm rooting for the meteorite.
	God bless.
	This is Doug Murray.
	Did I miss that?
	I think I missed that.
	Doug, let me see if I can bring that up.
	I'm going to say, I say ordinarily these things are not controversial, but then you get people purporting to be doctors on the interwebs making it controversial.
	I'll get to the take.
	I'll get to the take in a second.
	Okay, so I got that one.
	And then we got Waffles McGallagher.
	You said, how do we support one group without penalizing another?
	The whole problem here is the...
	Come on, man.
	You're going to get me in trouble.
	I did not read that one before bringing it up.
	Do I have to read this one?
	I'm going to read it.
	And if it's terrible, I'm not going to read it.
	Thank you.
	I'm not even sure I get this.
	Well, hold on.
	Russia's Systema instructor said, the 2x2 area you occupy will be soiled by war eventually, so long as men exist.
	Americans say nobody can invade the US, which mindset is easier to blitzkrieg.
	Okay.
	Sorry, I got distracted with the super chats and the meteorite coming for us all.
	Ordinarily, these things, the reason for which men's leagues and women's leagues were set up, the reason for which weight categories were set up, We're not controversial.
	Until they became controversial.
	Let me see.
	Where is this?
	Oh, it's in Twitter.
	How am I going to find it?
	I'm going to go here.
	I'm going to share this.
	I'm going to go back to...
	Give me one second, peeps.
	Twitter?
	Forward slash Viva Frye.
	Someone who said it last night.
	I don't know who's a doctor and who's not.
	I think...
	I think that some people are not doctors, despite saying they are.
	And I'm not trying to put anybody on blast for any...
	You put an opinion on the interwebs with the title doctor, and look, you're inviting a response, and I have a response, which is not mean.
	By the way, nothing better than having a 20-tweet thread with yourself.
	It's like the poop storm on the wall.
	So much poop on the wall, you can't pick out individual particles.
	But two of 20 of this thread.
	And B, it is not true that women will never win again.
	This narrative is profoundly paternalistic and keeps women small.
	Where do you even go with that?
	Some might argue that biological males defeating biological females at women's sports is profoundly paternalistic and keeps women small.
	Of course it's not true that women will never win again.
	First of all, it's very interesting here that this could be a cancelable offense to identify women as distinct from trans individuals who are biological males that transition to women.
	It's an interesting...
	The conclusion is baked in her statement and she doesn't even realize it.
	To the extent that it's biological women, you're not always going to have a trans athlete in a competition.
	So, of course, it's not true that women will never win again.
	But it's an interesting thing that this person acknowledges women in the debate of male to female trans people competing in women's sports.
	Profoundly paternalistic seems to have the same distinction of gender here or social construct and whatever.
	But I think if you asked the biological female athletes, the ones who don't feel suppressed into silence, I think if you ask them, and the ones who do speak out, disagree with this.
	By and large, because of biology and physiology, which hitherto had never been Much up for debate.
	So the question is, how do you reconcile these diverging interests here?
	My theory, and like I said yesterday during the stream, my theory at some point, people have to acknowledge the consequences of decisions.
	A biological male who chooses to transition to female, because that's how they feel, more power to them.
	And they should not be mocked.
	They should not be discriminated against.
	They should be able to live their lives in as much as anybody who chooses to practice religion, chooses to get an occupation, chooses to do whatever to themselves that hurts nobody around them, to the extent that they should all be respected.
	The question is, there is biology nonetheless, that even if they meet...
	The requirements imposed by the NCAA as to being below a certain level of testosterone, by mere virtue of the fact that the NCAA recognizes you have to do that, they're acknowledging biological differences in the first place.
	And my ultimate bottom line, if you want to wrestle up a weight category, if Annika Sorenstrom wants to play in a field where she will not have a biological advantage to the cream of the crop on the other side, people should feel free to wrestle up.
	But when they have a biological advantage, they should not feel free to wrestle down.
	And if they decide to transition and they say, that's what I need to do in order to be me and to be complete in life, you deserve respect?
	Full stop.
	You should also bear in mind that you'll have to live with the consequences of your decisions and say, because of how you feel as an individual, despite biology, you do not get to go in and trump the rights of women who fought long and hard for their rights, which now...
	People think is a sign of women's rights to ignore biological differences.
	Muscle mass, testosterone, all the other.
	They want to ignore them while setting limitations that implicitly acknowledge there's a biological difference.
	So that's it.
	I would love to have Leah Thompson on the channel for a live stream.
	I mean, I know the chat would be...
	I would not be able to bring up the chat.
	It would take a great amount of courage for anybody to come into...
	The internet environment, which is necessarily, I won't say hostile, but it's unforgiving and it's unfriendly and it's anonymous, which empowers people to, you know, it empowers people to say things that they might not otherwise say to people's faces, but they might also say it to people's faces.
	There are people out there who have different methods of interacting with humans.
	All right, now, what do we go?
	Oh, let's do Pat King real quick because it's not a long subject.
	Viva, this topic is moot soon enough.
	No one will have rights.
	Fair point.
	I mean, that is, look, we are all at the end of the day.
	I know that there's a lot of people who believe that all of this, this is, I would say this is a media fabricated or a media instigated or a media, what's the word?
	Exacerbated problem.
	Keep everyone fighting with each other.
	And all the while, the government's just going to come in with a digital currency and, you know.
	Take everyone's rights away at the same time.
	But at least we fought with each other in our last remaining throes of freedom.
	Twitter poop splatter needs...
	Dr. Viva Fry has spoken and we are all learning out.
	I'm not a doctor, but I am a massive hypochondriac.
	I mean, that's the point.
	Some people don't appreciate that.
	Steroids are testosterone-enhancing drugs.
	And so that is one of the issues.
	When you set the testosterone level for transitioning athletes, you are recognizing that testosterone procures either unnatural or unlawful enhancement.
	So it's nice if you arbitrarily set it at a certain thing, but there's also, we talked about it with Eric Hundley, there's a reason why people who have Been found guilty to have been using performance-enhancing drugs aren't allowed to compete ever again because they've already procured the benefit of the training under that enhanced, unfairly enhanced chemistry.
	Okay.
	Pat King should be free.
	Let's see what this says here.
	Hold on.
	I'm not trying to avoid it.
	I just saw a hyperlink right after it.
	Pat King should be free.
	Social, dis, social.
	Okay.
	See, I don't know what these things mean.
	These dot the five, these semicolons.
	If it means something bad, dude, you have no idea.
	I hide it.
	I hide it.
	And by the way, if anyone has noticed me lisping more than usual for this week, I got a pimple there also.
	I bit my tongue Sunday night.
	Sometimes, you know, dinner is so good, I decide to add a piece of my tongue to it.
	And I bit a little corner of my tongue, like a quarter of a millimeter.
	And it has been so damn sore all week.
	And I can't...
	It's like Fight Club.
	That line where, you know, like that sore in your mouth that would only go away if you could stop tonguing it.
	And I've just been biting that wound on my tongue all week.
	Well, hypochondriacs are mental.
	Look, there are certainly the DSM or the DSM-5, I think we're up to now, which is much longer than the DSM-1.
	There are groupings of human behavior, okay?
	You can call it what you want.
	Something becomes...
	And you can call it, you know...
	Mental illness, labeling it these things is not productive.
	If it causes discomfort or interferes with your life in an unproductive way, call it whatever you want.
	You might want to address it and deal with it.
	Okay, Dana White just said Curly Whirly is the best candy.
	I don't know what that is and I don't know if I just got myself in trouble.
	Okay, Pat King.
	See, I didn't know it was John Nickel.
	I identify as a doctor.
	Viva as a lawyer, does that mean I can practice medicine now?
	Well, there is the old joke.
	What's the difference between God and a lawyer?
	God doesn't think he's a lawyer.
	I think that's true of doctors as well.
	Okay, let's go to Pat King and just get this out of the way.
	I'll bring it up, and then I'm just actually going to bring it out.
	I'll give the backdrop.
	I take for granted everybody knows the entire story of Pat King.
	Pat King, they credit him as either being a founder, an Ottawa protest organizer, the spokesperson.
	I don't know formally what Pat King's affiliation was or is with the actual federally incorporated not-for-profit that was the convoy that was receiving the funds through GoFundMe and then GiveSendGo.
	Update, by the way, GiveSendGo apparently is refunding all of the donations because they can no longer disperse.
	Of the funds in a manner that is consistent with the state of objective of the campaign.
	So thanks for everyone who made it, you know.
	People made it impossible to actually disperse the funds, which is now going to end a lot of arguments as to, you know, outside monies financing the convoy, because right now the convoy financed itself.
	Oh, please check out Gonzalo Lira, a.k.a.
	Coach Red Pill on YouTube.
	He is live in Ukraine now.
	Maybe interview him ASAP, like today, before he gets censored.
	Thanks for all you do, brother.
	I think a lot of people watching know who Coach Red Pill is.
	He's live in Ukraine.
	Well, we're not sure where he is right now, but Coach Red Pill, definitely for another perspective, think what you will, get different perspectives, and then come to your own conclusions.
	Thank you very much for the super chat.
	What's his face?
	Pat King, it's not clear what his official affiliation is with the convoy.
	He has certainly been outspoken both well before.
	He's been protesting in Alberta, Red Deer, I believe, for years.
	Before COVID, during COVID, during the convoy.
	And he's in jail now.
	Yasha Koach, thank you.
	Although it is Saturday, so who?
	We have two sinful people here, not respecting the laws, apparently.
	Thank you very much.
	Okay, so Pat King has been very outspoken.
	He's been, I'll call it controversial.
	I mean, I think the threshold for controversy is greater or lesser depending on your political leanings.
	He's been controversial.
	He's said things, yada, yada.
	I don't know if he was formally affiliated with the federally incorporated not-for-profit, but he was one of the voices of the convoy.
	Whether or not he co-opted that voice or whether or not it was given to him, it doesn't matter.
	He was arrested along with Tamara Lich, a few others, and he, I believe he and, I'm going to miss the, I forget the other name, Benjamin?
	And Tamara Lich.
	Tamara Lich and Pat King were detained.
	Pre-trial detention on mischief charges for weeks, indefinitely.
	Tamara Lich.
	Tamara Lich.
	Was finally released after her bail rehearing, after the bail hearing, the initial officer, no, what do they call them?
	Officer of the Peace?
	Someone in the chat get the exact word from me if you could.
	They're not judges.
	They're lower-level judges, not administrative judges, but something along the line.
	I'll get it when I see it.
	Tamar Litch was denied bail, kept in jail indefinitely, and she had a rehearing on her bail, which I livestream commented.
	I did not livestream.
	Pat King is the face of the protest in the same URV.
	Well, that's it.
	I'm not the face of the protest.
	I'm not.
	I don't appoint myself, and I wasn't appointed.
	And that's one of the reasons why I didn't want to actually give a speech at the protest, because I didn't want to interfere with it.
	I wasn't there to be a spokesperson for.
	I was there to be a documentarian of.
	But I think, at the end of the day, I think we're all faces of the protest, because we're Canadians who want our freedoms back, and we're Canadians who don't think it's outlandish, who don't think it's extremist to say, You had no right to do what you did to us in the first place, government.
	So, setting that aside, I don't know what this is about, but thank you.
	Tamara Lich was in jail for two and a half weeks before, on rehearing of her bail refusal, she was finally released.
	But she was released, and she had her freedom only in part.
	She was released on $20,000 certi from the certi who warranted to, you know...
	Forfeit that $20,000 if she violates her bail terms.
	She had to post $5,000 bond.
	She had to leave Ottawa within 72 hours, I believe, or maybe 24 hours.
	She cannot be on social media.
	She can't make public statements in support of protests.
	And she can't attend a protest across Canada.
	So her freedom, by the way, is actually tyranny.
	It's actually a form of tyranny, is the freedom she got.
	But at least she's out of jail with her friends and family.
	Pat King, on the other hand, didn't get...
	That good fortune of treatment.
	I read the original Officer of the Peace.
	Did anyone tell me what the name was?
	I read the original summary of how Pat was denied bail.
	The judge said, basically, or the Officer of the Peace said, I can't be...
	I'm thoroughly convinced he's going to do time.
	He's going to break the terms.
	If he gets out, he's going to encourage people to break the law.
	It would...
	Impugn the administration of justice and the legal system to release him.
	And I was like, well done, Kafka.
	You just changed the meaning of language.
	Freedom is slavery.
	Ignorance is strength.
	And peace is war.
	I mean, you literally just did it to say it would undermine people's faith in the judicial system to release pre-trial.
	An individual who is accused of mischief charges.
	Mischief charges or mischief-related charges, because those are his charges.
	Mischief, inciting mischief, advising people to commit mischief.
	So he was denied bail.
	Now, I just didn't know exactly the process, where he was in his denial.
	It's a fair point, because you make a martyr out of people, and now...
	Anything that people might have had against Pat King, they're now going to say, well, you know, I'll forgive him for that because he has now been martyrized by our Canadian judicial and political system.
	Pat King's been in jail for a month.
	I mean, that's the end of it.
	Coeur du, by the way, in French means soft heart or a wonderful heart.
	Thank you very much, Coeur du.
	So that's where he's at.
	And now he's coming up for...
	He's having a new hearing on Monday, but I don't know if it's a rehearing.
	Let me get the article, because I can't seem to find it.
	Here it is.
	Freedom Convoy Protester.
	And we'll read this just real quick.
	Let me see this.
	Yeah, that's a drawing, by the way, because they're not allowed cameras in the courtroom.
	Freedom Convoy Protester Leader.
	I mean, this is CTV now designating him the leader of the convoy.
	By the way, watch this, because they call him the leader in the header.
	Is this called the title?
	The headline.
	Makes brief court appearance.
	He's the leader.
	One of the...
	Now he's gone to one of...
	I mean, they went from leader in the headline to one of the leaders in the follow-up.
	He appeared briefly...
	He appeared briefing in an...
	I think that meant briefly.
	In an Ottawa court on Friday and will appear in court on Monday to give him more time to speak with his lawyers.
	So apparently he was...
	People aren't meeting in person, so he wanted to meet with his lawyers.
	Pat King's lawyers were not present at the virtual hearing Friday afternoon.
	The judge granted King more time to speak with his lawyers before appearing again in court.
	And I thought he had new lawyers.
	I thought he had new lawyers.
	But either way, King 44 faces charges of mischief, counseling to commit mischief, counseling to commit the offense of disobeying a court order, and counseling to obstruct justice.
	This is Minority Report Thought Crime.
	He's facing charges.
	He hasn't been found guilty of this.
	He's been charged with counseling to break the law.
	So he might be innocent of that, but he's staying in jail indefinitely.
	When was it that he was arrested?
	It was February 25th.
	Justice of the Peace, Andrew.
	Oh, that's the word, people.
	Justice of the Peace.
	Thank you.
	Andrew Seymour, denied bail to King on February 25, saying the evidence of King's participation and leadership role in the protest was...
	Overwhelming.
	This protest, which was actually, you know, other than a bunch of lying politician authoritarian dictators, teapot dictators, is that it?
	Calling it illegal.
	There was never any court order declaring this protest illegal.
	In fact, on the contrary, and I've covered it, that injunction specifically said, to the extent that the protesters abide by the terms of this injunction, they can protest lawfully.
	Calling his alleged offense an attack on the rule of law.
	Taking your car and driving it to four protesters in Winnipeg is not an attack on the rule of law sufficient to warrant denying pale.
	Mischief.
	Counseling to commit mischief.
	That is a sufficient attack on the rule of law to warrant indefinite pretrial detention.
	This is what Canada has turned into.
	King was forbidden from communicating with other convoy organizers, including Chris Barber was the name I was looking for.
	Sorry, not...
	And Tamara Litch.
	Yada, yada, yada.
	Litch was released on March 7, and after being initially denied bail, Litch was...
	So they don't explain, and someone in the chat, if you know, I just don't understand if Pat King is on a rehearing, like what Tamara Litch had, or a new hearing, because the terms of his former bail are up, or he's entitled to a new hearing.
	So I don't know exactly procedurally.
	To me, it makes no difference.
	He's going to get released because it would be incongruous to continue to deny bail for Pat King without, at the very least, matching Tamar Litch's.
	They might say something along the lines of, well, you know, I'm not convinced that the certee for Pat King is reliable.
	Whereas, you know, the judge came to the conclusion that the certee for Tamar Litch was...
	Reliable.
	They could try to pull those weasel, dishonest, I'll find a macro difference between the two cases to justify my foregone conclusion in this one, but my prediction is Pat King is getting bail sooner than later.
	We'll see if it takes three or four days for the, oh, I forgot the word for it, justice of the peace, to draft their decision like they did with Tamara Lich.
	Can you imagine?
	The judge knew that he was going to release her, presumably, unless he really thought it over between the hearing and...
	Reading the judgment.
	Kept Tamarilich in jail nonetheless for another four days while he drafted and scheduled the hearing on that order.
	I watched it.
	Everyone should watch it.
	You know, you have to take it with a grain of...
	I'm sorry.
	You should watch Ukraine on Fire documentary on Rumble.
	I watched it.
	You have to watch it with a grain of salt in the sense that you have to be able to identify bias where you see it and then interpret the facts accordingly.
	Because to pretend that Ukraine on Fire is a totally objective absence of bias documentary produced by Roger Stone?
	No.
	Is it better than most?
	Probably.
	Does it contain facts which you as a viewer should be able to digest regardless of any bias or underlying political motivations or politics of the person making the documentary?
	You should.
	Love the goose picture.
	Hold on, where is it?
	Oh, this.
	Yeah, I took that with a massive telephoto lens.
	I'll tilt it just so everybody can see.
	And it is a duck flying on water and its wing touches the water as it goes.
	It's beautiful.
	Let's do this here.
	Oh gosh, what did I do?
	And that in the back, by the way, is a mass mortality green river formation fossil that I love.
	Take this off.
	Oh yeah, and look, while we're on the subject of fossils, my mass mortality...
	Trilobite plate.
	Every now and again, you fall in love with a fossil, and this is legit.
	This is not repositioned.
	Every now and again, you fall in love with a fossil, and you fall so in love with a fossil that the dude at the fossil shop knows that you've fallen in love with a fossil and wants to give you a discount that can allow you to buy that fossil without getting in trouble with your wife.
	It's not outrageously expensive.
	It's such a...
	I mean, look at this.
	600 million years ago, these bad boys fell to the bottom of whatever body of water they were living in, died, and were just preserved.
	What was that?
	Dog's making noise.
	Anyhow, so that's it.
	Okay.
	Sorry about that.
	Got totally distracted by the fossils.
	I try to get people to watch the Putin interviews, but four hours is just too much, I guess.
	People want to have opinions.
	They just don't want to do the research to be able to justify those opinions, so they defer to other people who have opinions who themselves don't invest the time required to justify those opinions.
	So, Pat King's going to have his new hearing.
	He's going to get out.
	There's no question in my mind.
	Going to be exquisitely onerous terms and conditions, which I would argue are arguably, but not so arguably, unconstitutional.
	But anyways, that's the news.
	He's coming up on Monday.
	So we'll be following that.
	And I might do the same type of live stream that I was doing for Tamara Litch's bail hearing before I thought that I was the one who was breaking the rules and got the court to actually suspend because the judge said, some people are live streaming this.
	This is totally unacceptable.
	So I'm going to try to maybe...
	Do that again next week.
	It was fun, and it worked.
	Pat King, that's it.
	Viva Fry is going to be...
	Well, an interesting thing.
	There will be no human fossils in 60 million years because they don't...
	Things are not getting fossilized anymore.
	But my goodness, the idea of...
	Do I have another one here?
	Nah, that's it.
	That trilobite plate was the best one ever.
	I had another one, which I ordered online.
	And it said there were 27 fish on this mass mortality plate.
	I get the fossil.
	It's the size of my iPhone.
	Very disappointed.
	Okay.
	Now, people, one hour on the minute, pretty much.
	Russell Brand.
	Candice, we are on the same virtual digital mindset.
	Russell Brand, for anybody who doesn't know, stand-up comic.
	I guess.
	Although I haven't seen him do stand-up in a long time.
	Like 20 years long time.
	I'm not saying this to kiss his butt.
	I'm just salivated on my own lip.
	Get Him to the Greek with him and Jonah Hill.
	And I believe P. Diddy was in it?
	Get Him to the Greek is one of my favorite movies.
	I haven't watched it in years.
	And I want to watch it with my oldest kid, but I'm still thinking if I remember correctly...
	I don't think it's good for kids.
	But Get Him to the Greek was a great movie.
	It had some great lines.
	It had some genuinely insightful observations of the human condition.
	And you can tell when an actor is sort of acting but also not acting.
	Russell Brandt has had his life history.
	He's open about it.
	But he was known for being a crude, crass...
	Comedian.
	Was he also Forgetting Sarah Marshall, if I'm not mistaken?
	Was he Forgetting Sarah Marshall?
	Of course he was.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Google.
	Forgetting Sarah Marshall cast.
	Forgetting Sarah Marshall was also a good movie, but not quite as good as Get Him to the Greek.
	I'm going to watch Get Him to the Greek because I think it will have aged well.
	Jason Segel.
	Yeah, Russell Brand.
	Okay, good.
	Paul Rudd.
	Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, and Bill Hader.
	Great movie, anyhow.
	So he's known for being a comedian, crass humor, yada yada.
	He's recently, some have said, taken the red pill.
	And it was fun watching it, because all of a sudden, Russell Brand creates a YouTube channel, and he starts talking about the things that...
	And this is not a question of hierarchy, or I was there first, or I told you so, because I wasn't there.
	I'm well late to this game.
	But he starts talking about things that Barnes and I have been discussing for a couple years.
	He starts talking about things that other people have been discussing since 2016.
	And it's interesting because, first of all, for anyone who has not seen his channel, it's Russell Brand.
	On Twitter, he's Rusty Rockets.
	Is that what it is?
	Now that I say it out loud, it sounds a lot dirtier than it ever did when I tag him.
	Yeah, Rusty Rockets.
	I don't know what that means.
	His YouTube channel, it's great.
	Look, it's like what Philip DeFranco, I don't know if Philip DeFranco ever was this, or if he was always what he is and just never knew it.
	It's just news.
	It's delivered with a relatively fast pace, but still slower than some.
	And basically, he goes through articles, like Tim Pool, but he's got a British accent.
	And a lot of people find him super sexy, and there's nothing wrong with that.
	The best video Russell Brand did was the one on Russia-Trump connection being a hoax.
	It was like a flat-earther being taken up into the space shuttle.
	And he started realizing, like, maybe we're being lied to.
	And then the more you realize it, it's, you know, you then start to question everything you ever took for granted from the media.
	And I won't say it's, you know...
	My sister married a fossil dude.
	That's a living fossil.
	He started talking about the things that a lot of us have been talking about for a while.
	I'm trying to think of January 6th, the election.
	I can't think of any decent examples right now, but...
	And people make the jokes.
	When people start discovering the red pill and they start going into...
	They start questioning things that a lot of people took for granted as being conspiracy theories, origins of...
	COVID, for example.
	Anthony Fauci ties to certain whatever.
	Then people start making the jokes.
	Oh, they're going to start coming for you.
	They're going to start coming after you.
	And I recall, I don't know where I saw it, but Russell Brand put out a video that said, they're coming after me.
	And now you have to read this hit piece on Russell Brand.
	And you know you've gotten big when Elon Musk...
	Is tweeting out, I read the article and I went to watch Russell Brand's videos and I found nothing controversial, nothing conspiratorial.
	It was just thoughtful discussion.
	But you got legacy media losing their grip hold on the, not the floodgates, but rather what's the word?
	The access gates of information.
	They've lost that.
	They've lost their credibility.
	And as far as I'm concerned, they've lost their minds and their souls.
	There's a hit piece on Russell Brand.
	It's just glorious.
	We're going to go over it.
	Tamara was freed only if accepted, denial to speak of, act freely, and demonstrate in any way.
	Tech and protest denied.
	Okay.
	So, this piece came out.
	I read the first paragraph and I was like, holy crab apples.
	I'm actually going to have to enter my spam email address to read this.
	Wait until you read this article.
	Just bear in mind, it's confession through projection with lack of insight.
	So there's an interesting thing.
	For those of you who may not know, you have a grouping of human behavioral patterns, which some call OCD.
	Then you have OCD with what some people call with insight, where people are aware that they're having...
	You call them irrational thoughts.
	People are aware that they're having compulsive thoughts, but they're aware of it.
	So they don't...
	They get distressed to some extent, but they don't get as distressed as the individual who is unaware of it.
	There's confession through projection, and typically it happens when you lack the insight to even know that you're doing it.
	And when you do have the insight to know that you're doing it, well, then it's just a weapon of war.
	Then it's the accuse your enemies of doing what you're doing because it's the great way to conceal what you're doing.
	When you're Harvey Weinstein, make a bunch of donations to a bunch of specific charities to say, look, you can't accuse me of anything.
	Look at how much good I do for this group.
	That I'm, you know, not so discreetly covering up the fact that I'm literally abusing them.
	Okay, so where is the article?
	How did Russell Brand go from stand-up stardom?
	Oh, here we go.
	This is a troll of a mainstream media hit piece.
	It's a troll because they also use the same...
	Is this the one that has a full article?
	They use the same tactics that trolls use to try to shame, to try to...
	To try to go ad hominem after an individual so as to never actually feel the need to go after the substance of their ideas.
	Louis Chilton, or Louis Chilton, depending on where you're from, how did Russell Brand go from stand-up stardom?
	Stand-up stardom.
	First of all, he was known for much more than his stand-up stardom, so that's already a belittling way of demeaning him.
	And it's also, that's translation, stay in your lane, Russell Brand.
	Hold on a second, I'm neurotic and I want to make sure that I can see myself.
	Or that we're all seeing the same thing here.
	Insight people.
	There we go.
	Okay.
	I have to do it.
	I know it's idiotic.
	I do it every single time.
	And the one time I don't do it, there's a problem.
	I can't see chats right now, so I can't see the comments, but I can read the article.
	So they try to belittle him.
	They try to keep him in his lane.
	Shut up and make jokes, Russell.
	How did he go from there to peddling YouTube conspiracy theories?
	So they go from the ad hominem stay in your lane, minimizing the individual, to strawmanning what he is actually doing.
	Just notice it.
	You'll never be able to read an article the same way once you see the tactics that these dishonest journalists employ.
	With a series of alarmist videos tackling issues like COVID and the Russia-Ukrainian war, the comedian has reinvented himself as a popular online current affairs guru.
	But while his latest venture offers a mixed bag of healthy skepticism and poorly sourced controversy mongering, I'm sorry.
	Poorly sourced controversy mongering is exactly what you're doing right now, Louis Chilton, at the expense of Russell Brand.
	Or I should say, you're attempting to do it.
	It's worth asking what exactly he stands to gain.
	Oh, there they go after the ad hominem again.
	He's doing it for the money.
	It's so insincere that this individual would like to be recognized and gain success for the hard work that he's putting in doing what he believes in.
	Because, like every troll out there, The second you take money for what you're doing, you become a shill or a sellout, as opposed to someone who expects or thinks that quality work should meet success, should be rewarded with, you know, people respecting your opinion.
	What exactly does he stand to gain, writes Louis Chilton.
	Thanks, Louis.
	When did Russell Brand decide comedy wasn't enough for him?
	Shut up and dribble.
	I mean, that's nothing shy of what they're saying here.
	For most of his time in the public eye, the Essex-born funnyman has been better known for his offstage antics than any particulars of his comic craft.
	There was his short-lived marriage to Katy Perry, ad hominem.
	His bullying of Andrew Sachs over voicemail on Jonathan Ross's radio show.
	I don't know.
	I mean, talk about poorly sourced controversy.
	I have no idea what you're talking about, Chilton.
	Maybe you want to explain what you're talking about?
	Okay.
	Ugh.
	Is there anything more in this?
	There were just a couple of paragraphs.
	Well over a decade we're here.
	Well over a decade from all of that, his personal website now describes him as an award-winning comedian, which he is.
	Actor, author, which he is.
	A passionate activist for mental health and drug rehabilitation, which he is because of his own life experience.
	And more grandiosely, a public thought leader, which he is.
	You may not like it, Chilton, because...
	He's got 5.3 million people watching his stuff on YouTube alone, excluding Rumble, excluding Twitter.
	He's got millions of people watching him.
	I think a public thought leader might be an understatement.
	All right, let's just get...
	Oh, here, let's...
	It is in this latest capacity that Brand operates his self-titled YouTube channel, Publishing Deal.
	I just don't understand why it starts off with a farting crow, but maybe he explained that at one point and I missed it.
	The videos have prompted some to accuse Brand of peddling.
	Do you see this?
	This is Nancy Pelosi's wrap-up smear.
	The only people saying this are you, you fake news hack Chilton.
	Nobody else is saying that.
	Nobody worth a grain of their weight in salt is saying that.
	It's prompted some to accuse Brand of peddling conspiracy theories.
	No, it hasn't.
	But you say it has.
	Then you write it in an article.
	Then someone else is going to say, look in The Independent.
	He's been accused of peddling conspiracy theories.
	So it must be true.
	Wrap up smear complete.
	Well done.
	Hot button issues such as COVID vaccine, yada, yada, yada.
	Okay, fine.
	Usually they're framed with some sort of contrarian take or calling out hypocrisy.
	Yeah.
	Why don't you stop being hypocrites, mainstream media?
	Why don't you stop being liars?
	No, that's too hard.
	We're going to call out people who call out our hypocrisy.
	Hypocrites.
	A few recent examples.
	WW3.
	So this is why they want Russia war.
	God forbid someone with half a brain who can digest information should have his opinion.
	So they do run the world.
	Have we not been watching Klaus Schwab at the WEF talking about how they're going to shape the great narrative?
	Yeah?
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	This is conspiracy theory?
	What was the other one?
	I've been warned not to talk about this.
	Do you have a problem with the fact, Chilton, that he might have better clickbait titles, more catchy titles for his content than you have for yours?
	Maybe.
	Okay, but hold on.
	Here we go.
	This is where it gets great.
	With his beard, long hair, and loose-fitting wide...
	Ooh, okay.
	I didn't know that was going to be a thing today.
	It's hard to shake the sense that there's something cultish about Brand's whole presentation.
	Going after the intentions of the person.
	Cultish?
	Yeah, because there was that book, The Twelve Pillars of Branding.
	Branding to some is cultism to others.
	If you want to demonize someone, branding is cultism.
	If you want to humanize someone, cultism or cultishness is branding.
	Oh, anyhow, it goes on.
	It's such garbage.
	It's such garbage.
	Do we want to keep going?
	Oh, Brand is right when he suggests that the Russia-Ukraine situation is a whole lot more complex than most news sources make out.
	Cancel this individual!
	Apparently saying that makes you a Putin apologist.
	I'm joking.
	Nobody should be cancelled for having their takes.
	But that's not how things work.
	These days, you say it's complex, people.
	The conflict didn't start in 2022 with Putin invading the Donbass region of Ukraine.
	You say that...
	You're a Putin apologist Russia bot on the Twitterverse.
	Brand is right when he suggests that the Russia-Ukraine situation is a whole lot more complex than most news sources make out.
	But unless you're going to vast swaths of research on the political and social histories of the countries, you're never going to get the full picture.
	Brand's whataboutery offers no fuller picture of the complexity of the situation than any mainstream news or media report does, but does offer a lot of more unverifiable speculation.
	Well, I hope Chilton's viewers or Chilton's readers actually go watch Russell's analyses because by and large, first of all, he is reading other people's substack articles, reviews, news with his own insight.
	And I'm sorry, it does.
	Quite literally offer more fuller understanding.
	Maybe not quite as full as other people's analyses.
	Not looking at Barnes and I, but I'm thinking about it.
	But this is just a flat-out lie.
	That is relying on this person's readers, not actually ever having watched any one of Russell Brand's videos.
	Unverified speculation.
	Okay.
	His sources have come under scrutiny before.
	Oh!
	Oh, here's the game.
	His sources, so when he, because it's actually now they're just admitting it's not his opinion, it's not his unverified whataboutery.
	He has sources who are by and large recognized journalists who might be loathed by mainstream media.
	They come under scrutiny, so therefore he's peddling conspiracy theories because the people in the group, the people in the clique are calling the ones who are not in the clique unverifiable.
	with far-right journalists and unsap-assistiated newsletters.
	By the way, you know who was at one point called far right on Wikipedia until they edited out that entry?
	Yours truly.
	Last year's So Trump Was Right About Clinton and Russia Collusion.
	That was the one.
	Featured some particularly egregious mistruths.
	Like, you know, I'm thinking, who was it such as from The Simpsons?
	This is one of the problems with this approach.
	Somebody, they just made a very broad, unsubstantiated claim themselves, and moving on.
	This is one of the problems with this approach to broadcasting.
	Some of the world's most trusted sources are regarded with fierce cynicism.
	I mean, it's just, it's vapid rubbish, is what this is.
	Can we know what some of the most trusted sources you're talking about are, Chilton?
	Is it the New York Times?
	Who lied about Sicknick?
	Who lied about Hunter Biden's laptop?
	Who now admit that Sicknick, Brian Sicknick, the January 6th police officer who dreamed of becoming a police officer but was beaten to death by a group of Trump supporters?
	They said that?
	They still haven't deleted that from the internet?
	Is that one of the trusted news sources?
	Is it the fact checkers?
	Who we now know are not actually fact-checkers but mere opinion pieces that are contracted by Facebook to basically silence people who disagree with them?
	Who are these most trusted sources?
	Please tell me.
	Tell me.
	I'm very curious.
	While other more spurious ones, who are we talking about there?
	Jonathan Schachtel?
	Certain doctors?
	Tell me who are the more spurious ones.
	The ones who might have been more right than wrong over the long course of things.
	Ultimately, Brand would probably say that he preaches a healthy distrust of prescribed authority.
	Quote, together we can create new narratives, new stories, and new understanding.
	He told followers recently.
	But surely this same scrutiny should apply to himself?
	Well, hold on.
	But surely this same scrutiny should apply to himself?
	Is that a question?
	It's got a question mark.
	By the way, Chilton, you know what Russell Brand would say to that?
	Yes.
	Don't trust Russell Brand any more than you trust anyone else.
	And if you catch Russell Brand in a bald-faced lie or having been egregiously wrong for having relied on the wrong trusted nude source, he would want you to call him out.
	And maybe I'm confessing through projecting.
	Maybe I'm projecting through...
	Maybe I am confessing through projection.
	If I'm wrong, if I rely on a source that turns out to be wrong, I want to be called out.
	I want to be corrected because I don't want my mistake being out there lingering.
	For eternity in the ethers of the interwebs.
	So, hey, brother, maybe the scrutiny should apply to himself?
	Yes.
	And I guarantee you Russell Brand would agree with that as well.
	In a world where conspiracy lurks around every corner.
	Oh, yeah, like conspiracy, like the origins of COVID.
	Like conspiracy, like the Russia collusion.
	Where it turns out that the only people colluding with Russian sources were actually Democrat and the Democratic Party and Democrat operatives.
	Oh, yeah, that was conspiracy.
	Where the conspiracy that's Brian Sicknick.
	Did not die from a fire extinguisher to the head.
	That was a conspiracy too.
	Where it lurks at every corner.
	Where every news source has a hidden narrative.
	No, it's not a hidden narrative.
	You guys are hacks.
	Everyone knows it and you don't even hide it anymore.
	It begs the question, what exactly is his?
	It is so foreign.
	It is so foreign to the liar to understand that some people are actually only after the truth.
	And some people are only actually...
	After understanding.
	Sorry, guys.
	I haven't seen the chat in a long time.
	What exactly is his motive?
	The liar always assumes everyone around them is lying.
	This journalist can't understand that Russell Brand's ulterior, hidden motive might actually just be to understand.
	To get people to understand, to get to the truth, and if he establishes himself as a trusted voice that makes all the money in the world from AdSense revenue sponsorships, book deals, he's entitled to that because unfortunately for the journalists out there, you succeed or you fail on your merit, on your authenticity, on your honesty, and on your transparency, and on the quality of your work.
	It's inconceivable to these hack liars that...
	Some people out there are only there to understand.
	They're not there to gaslight.
	They're not there to please their sponsors.
	They are there to succeed on the quality of their work and nothing else.
	Kelly J. Keene, a British women's rights activist, was heckling during the swim meet.
	Would make a great guest.
	She never backs down.
	Yeah, I'd have to hear the nature of the heckling.
	But I took a screenshot.
	I'm going to go look up who this person is because I have no idea.
	Brand is careful to not give opinion and always asks the audience to make up their own mind.
	He can have his own opinion.
	But if he makes a big fat mistake and relies on the wrong journalist or cites the wrong fact or retweets a picture without checking it and it turns out to be a fake picture, I'm sure he'll apologize.
	But I'm sure he's sufficiently thorough in the information he shares that he'll be much less likely to make that mistake than CNN, for example.
	Tucker has the best take in the war.
	Wonder if Fox will can him.
	Oh, yeah.
	Thank you for reminding me of the Fox.
	I wonder if Fox will can him or if the ladies of The View will get him arrested by Biden's DOJ.
	What a joke.
	So that is...
	Who said no audio?
	Please tell me that I had audio while I was just talking.
	Refresh for audio, folks.
	Hold on.
	Before I carry on, can someone just reassure me that you heard the audio during that entire Russell Brand rant where I couldn't see the chat?
	Chat was saying bad things, but hey, it won't be the first time.
	It won't be the last.
	Okay, so what exactly is his motive?
	Absolutely.
	The thing about this, so I often, I mean, I say it so often my parents, it drives my parents crazy, it drives my brother crazy, because I say hashtag confession through projection.
	And then people say, Viva, that's just your way of avoiding debate, because you're basically accusing them.
	You are guilty of it now.
	You're accusing them of confession through projection, and that's what you're doing to avoid.
	No, here's the thing.
	Every time I say something, every time I accuse someone else of something, I take a step back and I say, I did.
	Okay, good.
	I take a step back and say, is this true of myself from my own personal assessment?
	And then from an accusatory perspective, would someone else say that this is true of myself?
	If I say that someone is...
	I don't ever say it.
	But if I say someone's just out there for the money.
	At one point, you know what?
	It's funny.
	At one point, I did accuse someone.
	I didn't accuse him.
	I asked the question, but it was obviously one of those questions which only reads as accusatory.
	It was on Twitter, and the individual was wearing an Adidas face mask, posting a random tweet.
	I forget exactly the context, but it was so egregious, the Adidas face mask, the face mask in the context, the Adidas plainly there.
	And I said, is Adidas sponsoring this tweet?
	And it was meant as much of an open question as you can have, but I understand how it gets misread.
	And the person said, no.
	I would have told you.
	I'm honest.
	And then I felt very bad about it.
	It might be one of the few tweets that I've ever deleted because I didn't want people thinking I was accusing this individual of breaking the ethics laws of internet influencer where you have, you know, guerrilla disguised advertising where you get paid by Adidas to say, oh, I'm wearing my face mask today in a mall and I feel so safe, but you don't disclose.
	When I said that, though, I said, okay.
	Are people going to accuse me of thinking that, that these people only make these tweets for the money, and then do I do the same thing?
	So the confession through rejection, when you can see it, you can never unsee it, but you have to apply it vigorously and remorselessly to yourself, not just in terms of whether or not you're actually doing it, but also whether or not people are going to accuse you of doing it.
	So that's the article on Russell Brandon.
	It's garbage.
	It's garbage.
	And the mainstream media that is losing their foothold, losing their reputation, losing their revenue, losing their place in society is one of the pillars of functioning society.
	They look at a guy like Russell Brand, a recovering addict, from what I understand, a foul-mouthed stand-up comic who was better known for his off-screen antics.
	He was married to Katy Perry for a short time.
	Yep.
	I don't know what Chilton's married.
	Marriage statuses, but I would be very, very reluctant to criticize anybody for their marriage status.
	Notwithstanding the fact that I've been happily married to the same woman for 15 years this September.
	But they can't understand it.
	And they're losing their foothold.
	They've lost it entirely.
	And they look at someone like Russell Brand, who is a crass comedian, now turned thought leader.
	Who's trying to make sense of the world and awaken more people than Chilton or the Independent could ever dream of reaching.
	And he's doing it so effectively.
	And he's undermining their position.
	He's undermining their authority.
	And not just doing it in real time.
	When you undermine someone's credibility in the present, it actually has retroactive effects.
	And he is undermining the Independent as a legitimate source of news retroactively by exposing all media for the hacks that they are in real time.
	And journalists can't stand it.
	All right.
	That's it.
	15 years.
	Well, 15 years married.
	We've been going out since 1999.
	The Great Honk.
	And we've been going out since 1999.
	We had a brief period in 1999 to 2000 where when I moved to Paris, it was after going out for three months, we said, you know, sort of illogical to stay together for a year in theory, but we ended up getting back together before the year was up.
	And then it was 1999.
	2000, we've been together.
	Since 1999.
	Okay.
	And I think we'll finish on the Fox News piece because Fox freaking news.
	So I watch Fox.
	I don't like it.
	First of all, their news alert, I mean, their news alert, when they go boom, boom, and they have that big red alert, and it kind of loses the meaning of an alert when every time you come back from commercial break, there's another news alert.
	Would you keep saying that word?
	I do not think it means what you think it means.
	And so I've been watching Fox.
	And I can't tell if I've changed, if Fox changed, if we've both changed, if we've grown apart from each other.
	Judge Jeanine, I remember her giving diatribes, which I said, oh, I agree with what she's saying.
	And this is where I'm sufficiently self-reflective, where I'm saying...
	Am I discrediting them now as a source because they're not telling me what I believe now and therefore, you know, in order to preserve my own ego, I have to discredit this source.
	I go through that exercise.
	I know what I've come to believe about the conflict in Ukraine and to quote Chilton, it's much more complex than the media is making it out to be.
	I know what I believe and I know that it doesn't reconcile with what I now see Janine.
	Gutfeld, all those other people, Jesse Waters saying.
	And I ask myself, am I now thinking that we've grown apart because they're not saying what I want them to hear?
	I do that exercise.
	All that I say is when I see Fox News parroting the exact same talking points as CNN, I say Fox News has become CNN and I have not changed for the worse.
	I've definitely changed.
	If you don't change in this world, you're actually regressing and not progressing.
	Yeah, I mean, that might have been it.
	Calling Arizona.
	Fox News ended itself on election day.
	Calling Arizona and impacting an ongoing election.
	They became players in the news.
	They became news makers and not news reporters.
	Brand has used The Independent as a source from his streams.
	Does that make them an unreliable source?
	Well, it depends why he was using it.
	If he was using their article to show why the media is lying.
	Yeah, it makes them an unreliable source.
	But here's the thing.
	An unreliable source will still be reliable when it publishes something which is the inverse of a self-serving statement.
	I'm trying to think of a good example.
	I can't think of an example right now.
	But when CBC has to make a prejudicial admission about Trudeau, they don't cease being unreliable.
	But at the very least, that piece.
	When it is disclosing or disseminating or publishing information that runs contrary to their ordinary narrative, it does lend more credibility to what they are running against, what is typically anti or contrary to their own interests and their own narrative.
	So if the independent runs something, I don't know how the independent leans really politically, but if the independent runs an article that typically goes against their typical political position, it could be more reliable than if Fox News.
	But by and large, you know that you can get some stuff right with any mainstream outlets.
	Factual stories like the Leah Thomas story, doesn't matter where it comes from, but when you read some outlets like ESPN and they start quoting other people who say we support Leah's right to compete with biological women, you can then get the spin in the narrative.
	But when it comes to running stories and then not correcting them...
	Fox, not Fox News, New York Times.
	Yeah.
	Okay, so what was I saying?
	So Fox News.
	So I was watching it.
	Janine Pirro, you know, the exact same talking points as CNN, as MSNBC.
	And it's like, you know, you go back to what Barnes and I were discussing, but it was really more Robert talking about it in early 2020 when the world was in lockstep marching towards lockdowns, shutdowns, all this stuff.
	And Barnes was like, when all the governments and all the media and all the influencers and all of Hollywood and all of the celebrities are all marching in lockstep in the same direction, something is going wrong.
	And now Fox News is doing it.
	So Fox News, sorry, was reporting on, I remember CNN badgering Fox into making the Arizona call.
	I don't think Fox listened to CNN.
	I just think Fox didn't like Trump.
	I don't know who owns Fox News, but I'll look into it.
	So I see Fox News reporting on Russia, and they're using the exact same verbiage as Justin Trudeau.
	And it's not to say that it's necessarily not true.
	It's just that when you have Justin Trudeau using and repeating the exact same language in every tweet, in every press release, in every statement, When you have one confirmed, unethical, immoral tyrant, which is Justin Trudeau, saying things about anybody else, he might be right, but it's the curse of the liar.
	I can never believe him again.
	And now I got Fox News saying all the same things about Putin, about the war in Russia, running the same images.
	You know, Fox News ran a headline about that journalist, Renaud, who was killed in Irpin.
	And the headline read...
	I think it was a former New York Times journalist, killed in Irpin by Russian forces.
	It said it in the headline.
	I listened to the 12-minute interview and the journalist said, we don't know who did this because this was at a checkpoint at a location that seems to be under Ukrainian control.
	Now, this is fog of war stuff, but then don't run definitive headlines when anybody who takes the time to listen to the actual 9-minute interview or 12-minute interview hears something different.
	And I'm still looking to get confirmation because...
	Every single article that says that Renault was killed by Russian forces as reported by Ukraine authorities.
	Every single article verbatim.
	And it's not to say that it's not true.
	It's just to say that when news outlets that have been lying to you are telling you something, if you believe it now just because it's convenient or you're too lazy to do your own research, you've learned nothing from the last two years.
	Viva, you should have on Blair White, a trans lady with a very conservative outlook, and she's funny too.
	Well, you got...
	The New York athlete who's running for office, Jenner.
	I mean, the funny thing is, you know, when Jenner takes a position, contrary to the mainstream, you know, the narrative, Jenner starts getting outed as a big intolerant, you know, no true Scotsman, no true transgender.
	Okay, so, sorry, I'm getting distracted.
	So Fox News is reporting on this...
	What's the word when people meet together in a stadium?
	A rally that Putin was holding in a stadium that they say he's using his propaganda to show that he has the public support for the war.
	And by the way, so no one misunderstands, I have zero doubt, 0.00 ad infinitum doubt that Putin is putting up propaganda to convey to Russian civilians what he wants to convey to them.
	No doubt.
	I have no doubt Putin does the exact same things as every other corrupt politician out there.
	No doubt.
	Now I'm looking at Fox News reporting on Putin holding a rally in a stadium.
	And Fox News is saying exactly what CNN was saying about every Trump rally.
	I mean, you know, mutatis mutandis, which means changed to meet the circumstances.
	Fox News.
	Putin is organizing a propagandist rally to fabricate support to convince the Russians to continue supporting this war in Ukraine.
	Some of the people don't want to be there.
	Some of the people don't know why they're there.
	Some of the people were paid to be there.
	Some of the people were lured to be there.
	Some of them are public servants who are only there because their employers who are nationalized state workers told them to be there.
	And it's like Fox News has lost the introspective insight to say, our treatment of this, our reporting on this, and by the way, their support, they're not supporting, they are quoting the BBC as their authorities to make these statements.
	So you got your vicious vortex of fake news.
	Fox News, not with anyone on site themselves, not interviewing on site themselves, because I'm fairly certain they would not be able to go to Russia.
	As free independent journalists and interview people at a stadium to say at a rally for Putin that they were forced to be there.
	I have no doubt they couldn't do that, even if they wanted to, because for those of you who call me a Putin apologist, Russia's not exactly the freest place on earth.
	The only question is whether or not Putin's political prisoners, you know, what makes them different than Trudeau's?
	What makes Putin's political prisoners different than the January 6 Biden political prisoners?
	Because I don't care if you think they deserve to go to jail after a conviction.
	Jailing people on trespass charges, obstruction of official proceedings, pretrial detention for over a year in solitary confinement, denying medical treatment, torturous, unconstitutional imprisonment.
	Those are political prisoners.
	So, yeah.
	Putin has done his fair share of locking up journalists and putting gay rights protesters in prison.
	Our political prisoners are more justifiable political prisoners than him.
	So when we call him an authoritarian tyrant...
	I'm sure there's some people in Canada who had their bank accounts frozen without any court order at the direction and request of the government who promised to hold harmless and immunize the banks for doing their bidding.
	I'm sure there'd be some people here who might say, Trudeau, you're no different, except potentially on a degree of severity.
	So they're reporting on it, and they're just like, BBC says that people there don't even want to be there, that they're there because they're employed.
	And it's like, okay, man.
	You're reporting on someone else's reporting.
	BBC has not exactly been the best.
	BBC most definitely has an agenda.
	BBC most definitely has had some questionable reporting in the past.
	And they just report it like fact.
	And I'm listening to Gutfeld.
	Talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger's nine-minute diatribe.
	And talk about how it's great.
	It was compelling.
	It was passionate.
	It was exceptionally well-written.
	He was a little off on January 6th.
	This is where you can see people warping what they want to believe to fit what they already believe.
	Gutfeld...
	Sorry, I just saw a chat.
	Let me see if I can read this.
	Sorry, this is what I was reading.
	I can't read it.
	Okay, so this is to someone else.
	Sorry, that's why I didn't understand what was going on here.
	Gutfeld...
	Is talking about Schwarzenegger's nine-minute video that he put out yesterday.
	It was a very well-drafted.
	It was a very well-crafted.
	It was a very well-structured, emotionally manipulative.
	I think it was a little soft on some facts.
	I think it was a little superficial on some facts.
	I was not able to verify that every image in that video was, in fact, a legitimate image and not some of the fake news and bona fide fake news that we've seen come out in this propaganda war.
	De part et d 'autre, as we say in French, on both sides in Russia-Ukraine.
	So I couldn't vet the information in that nine-minute video.
	It was well drafted.
	It was well written.
	But Schwarzenegger, the same individual who said, screw your freedom to Americans, in that video, cited January 6th as though, and he used the word, as though it was an actual bona fide insurrection, despite all the FBI findings, he still repeated that lie.
	That it was an insurrection to overthrow the government.
	Be a true Irishman and just say, well, oil be fucked.
	Oh, I got it.
	Well, oil be fucked.
	Sounds more Scottish than Irish, but maybe it's the way I pronounced it.
	So Gutfeld is reviewing Schwarzenegger's speech.
	And he says it was great.
	It was a great way to reach Putin.
	Apparently Putin follows Trump on...
	Someone within the Russian government follows Schwarzenegger on Twitter, I think, from what I understood.
	But he says it was great.
	Compelling, compassionate, empathetic, convincing.
	He was a little off on what he said about January 6th, but he only had to say that to placate the people who would accuse him of being too pro-American.
	So Gottfeld is now promoting the debunked insurrection notion, is now forgiving Schwarzenegger in a speech.
	He's forgiving him for...
	Providing misinformation or exaggerating specifically for the purposes of manipulating the people he's trying to convince into believing that he's objective, so objective that he can criticize his own government while criticizing the Russian government.
	This is motivated reasoning.
	Disregarding the lies that someone is telling you that you recognize are dishonest, inaccurate, or exaggerated statements so that you can then still choose to believe the statements that you want to believe that they are making.
	So when I watch Gutfeld doing that, I do say, what happened to Gutfeld?
	I don't think he's being sarcastic and funny.
	First of all, he is sarcastic and funny in general, and I agree with him in general.
	But when I see him, he was not being sarcastic when he was forgiving Schwarzenegger for being a little wrong on the January 6th stuff.
	But it's like when I'm watching Fox News and just seeing Fox News gung-ho for World War III.
	I'm now wondering if Fox has changed, if I have changed, or if we have both changed and grown apart.
	And I'll continue using Fox to get information, but now, my goodness, I mean, they've always been suspect.
	You suspect!
	They've always been suspect to me regardless.
	But tell the truth, or at least just don't lie.
	It's not hard, people.
	All right, man, well, that's all that I had on the menu.
	Let's take some questions that are not...
	That are not super chats so that I can spread the question.
	Viva knows he definitely knows.
	I don't know what that's about, but I can take for granted.
	Corporate trash, just like MSM.
	When I'm watching Fox News, but this is not even limited to Fox, when I'm watching American cable news, the amount of, what's the word I'm looking for when you take medications, the amount of pharmaceutical advertising.
	I don't know what's going on.
	I mean, I don't know what's going on.
	Every four-minute advertising block, and it's really annoying when you're trying to exercise, and you've got to watch four minutes of freaking uninteresting commercials.
	Every four-minute commercial block has like a minute-and-a-half ad for some pharmaceutical product.
	There is a lot of fukuri afoot, if I can say it like a skutzman.
	Oh, did I see Joe's livestream Thursday?
	No.
	And this is why I don't get...
	First of all, I don't think most people know when I'm drunk, despite what people think when they think I'm tipsy, when I have my snifter on a Sunday night stream.
	Getting drunk on the internet, very, very dangerous.
	One has to, especially in today's day and age, maybe I'm neurotic and maybe other people just don't give a crap.
	One has to weigh one's words at all times to avoid even...
	Having an audio byte that can be taken out of context for the purposes of a weaponized cancellation.
	But no, I saw he was shit-faced.
	Holy cow.
	He might have outdone Kurt.
	And anyways, Riccate is a bad influence, and I say that with love and affection.
	But yeah, you won't catch me like that on the interwebs.
	Ever, by the way.
	Unless someone's spiking my juice, but I prepare my own drink.
	Viva, you do a great job speaking out truths.
	Bless you.
	Thank you.
	Dr. Bin Medical Lectures, I suspect, is not a current practicing doctor.
	Okay.
	Oh, I see.
	Okay, fine.
	Thank you.
	Okay, awesome.
	Yeah, you'll never see me.
	Sloppy drunk, I don't think, ever.
	I've learned my lesson, people.
	Okay, here we go.
	Oh, well, so what do I think of this?
	You know, it's...
	Police showing up because they got a call.
	I don't know that it's bad.
	I mean, what do you think?
	It's just people thinking pranks are consequence-free, but in the States, these pranks are not pranks.
	I'm sure there's a criminal provision in there that covers that type of behavior, but if they need to enact a specific piece of legislation to cover the specific act of reporting a false crime for the purposes of that, they should do it.
	3am, yeah.
	What I was just about to say.
	The sloppy drunk.
	Yeah.
	Oh, a little anecdote.
	I was playing poker.
	This is 22 years ago.
	And we had a friend who was making lychee martinis.
	And it was the weirdest thing on earth.
	He was making lychee martinis.
	And they didn't taste like an ordinary martini, which is sufficiently potent that you know you're drinking a martini.
	It tasted like lychee juice.
	And he kept on filling out my glass.
	He was making it in a...
	One of those measuring glasses.
	Those Pyrex measuring glasses.
	Just kept topping me off.
	I'm playing poker.
	And I'm fine.
	And then I get up to go walk the dog.
	And Marion was there.
	It literally was like being slapped in the face.
	Where I got up and I was like...
	And Marion thought I was joking.
	And I barely stumbled to walk the dog.
	I threw up.
	And lychee martini going down.
	Tastes a little bit better than lychee martini coming up, and I could not smell a lychee.
	You know those little lychee nuts?
	I couldn't smell a lychee nut or lychee juice or lychee bubble tea for like 10 years after that.
	Let me see this.
	Do I want to read this?
	Okay, it'll start.
	When U.S. Special Forces are captured, parachuting into Kharkov.
	Yo, oh, I'm sorry.
	Conspiracy theory.
	The Hunter Biden laptop.
	New York Times.
	Not Zuckerberg.
	What's his face?
	The other guy.
	Dorsey.
	Outrageous.
	Outrageous.
	Yeah, that's a conspiracy theory that Russell Brand was talking about.
	Look, I've got an email.
	It's this roadrunnerdave and david at vivafry.com.
	But I've got everyone out there who sends me an email.
	I've lost track.
	It's impossible and I have no social media person.
	So it's all on me, but I prefer...
	Not getting back to someone's email beyond me than a social media person.
	So if I don't ever get back to your email or your Facebook message or anything, I'm officially, I've given up even trying to maintain a grasp on it.
	Look at that dog.
	Thank you for the super sticker.
	All right.
	So yeah, that was the lychee martini drink.
	Why is no one talking about the whereabouts of BJ Dictor?
	And what happened to the money he collected and put in crypto?
	So I'll read this out loud.
	Why is no one talking about the whereabouts of BJ Dictor?
	I think people are.
	This is Ben Dictor.
	I don't think his whereabouts are unknown or even in question.
	The money collected and put in crypto, from what I understand, that was seized by the government, if I'm not mistaken.
	I think it was something like a million dollars in crypto.
	And it was seized.
	I discussed this with Mark Moss with Barnes, and I think it was seized not because there was a hack of their key, but because their password was on their computer, which they got and therefore found it.
	But I mean, as far as I know, there's no controversy there.
	I think it's been seized by the government and not stolen by Dictor, because I don't think that's happened.
	Let's see what we got.
	Viva, the West elevates Putin's popularity by calling Russians the enemy for the last 75 years.
	You go back to the movies of the 80s.
	It was only in the mid-90s, I think, that the Middle East became the enemy in American media, in Hollywood.
	It used to be Russia forever.
	It's never gone away.
	It was Russia in 2016, and now they've Russia again in 2022.
	The other twins are the same stick.
	Fox...
	At least kept some political stuff in check for a little while, but it's almost like there's no Trump anymore, so now they're all fighting for the same market now.
	I would want to know the secrets to your hair, Vivo.
	I don't wash it too often and I use some bizarre conditioner that smells like mint.
	Yes, yes, yes, Ariel.
	Nice try, sir.
	Nice try.
	All right.
	Have a sweet day, peeps.
	All right, so that's it.
	Look, do we have anything else that we want to talk about urgently that I have not mentioned?
	Oh, so we have a live stream tonight with Barnes.
	It's going to be phenomenal.
	What's new for next week?
	I'm going to have a...
	I don't want to say the name until I know that I've got confirmation from the individual, but a very, very well-known doctor I'm hoping to have on.
	And I'm hoping...
	I'm not hoping.
	I'm probably going to have to do that as a Rumble exclusive because I want to actually ask the questions I want to ask.
	Got a new member in the house, Elwood Phillips.
	Sir, welcome to the channel.
	Thank you.
	Oh, whiskey.
	No, I had it with tequila for a little while, but not quite as much.
	And then when I was 16, I drank too much cognac.
	So I had my two occasions that traumatized me for life.
	You learn from your mistakes.
	You learn from the mistakes of others.
	But you learn from your own mistakes faster.
	That's for sure.
	Okay, let's see if I can get tonight.
	Oh, no, I'm sorry.
	Tomorrow night is the live stream with Barnes.
	Not tonight.
	Oh, sorry.
	Hold on.
	Let me just go see if I didn't get any Rumble rants that I missed.
	Any Rumble rants.
	And I think I'm going bowling with the kids this afternoon at some point.
	They've taken away not only the vaccine passport at the bowling alley.
	I went in without wearing a face mask.
	And they've taken away the cardboard dividers in between alleys.
	And we went to a restaurant yesterday.
	People were still wearing masks.
	I did not wear a mask at any point in the restaurant.
	I'm happy nobody got angry.
	I'm hoping that other people start to feel comfortable following the lead.
	Okay, let's see.
	Any more questions?
	Dr. David Hawkins.
	Okay.
	I take screenshots and then oftentimes forget to look at them.
	Didn't sanctions on Germany cause World War II?
	History will repeat itself.
	Yeah, that's where I would defer to someone who I believe understands it better.
	Mr. Robert Barnes.
	There were, I mean, there were a number of factors that led to World War II, but again.
	My personal belief is that as far as historical analogies go, Putin is not a Hitler.
	Different aspirations, they're not the same.
	So all of these continual analogies to the peace in our time, Chamberlain, you don't compromise with dictators, you don't negotiate with them.
	It's an existential threat to the world because it's global domination.
	I don't think that the two dictators are analogous in spirit or in...
	Objectives.
	And I don't trust any...
	There's not one politician out there that's not corrupt.
	So the question is now, you have a conflict, how do you resolve it?
	You don't resolve it by kicking out ambassadors from Canada.
	You don't resolve it from saying, we can't negotiate with you because you're literally Hitler.
	That's not how you do it.
	That's actually just how you exacerbate war, get the general population to feel an existential need to continue to support it.
	Even if your support is, you know, egging on Ukraine, resulting in more Ukrainian civilian deaths.
	By the way, sorry.
	Thank you very much, Fatty Sis.
	Fatty Sis.
	Bowling, yes, it's a miserable day, so it's good weather for bowling.
	But they changed the big pins to strings at Rose Bowl, and it's an absolute sacrilege of bowling.
	It's a sacrilege because it changes the pin actions and the pin action is not the same anymore.
	I'm going to say it's actually going to be impossible to get a 7-10 split with these pins that have the strings on the top.
	It's not as bad as the small pin string things.
	The action is pretty awesome and pretty fluid, but it's different.
	And I think a 7-10 is going to be impossible.
	EU denouncing Trudeau on MSM.
	Everyone should be announcing Trudeau on MSN.
	He's an absolute disgrace to the country.
	People used to say that his father single-handedly destroyed Canada, and not having lived through it, I wasn't even alive at the time.
	I always said it's impossible that one individual, one politician, I mean, they're powerful, but not almighty powerful.
	I said it's impossible that one politician could actually manage to destroy a country.
	Justin Trudeau has proven me wrong in that belief.
	Dr. John Nickel has been upgraded.
	He's now Dr. John Nickel.
	Where's the certificate of authenticity?
	We got one.
	Barton Bella, thank you.
	Castro destroyed...
	It was his executive decision to invoke the Emergencies Act.
	It was his executive decision to desecrate the Constitution.
	You know, the fact that it never got the executive, not the, the Emergencies Act declaration never got ratified or rejected.
	He decided to do it.
	And he destroyed, or at the very least, you know, I'll say maybe not destroyed.
	It'll be repaired.
	He, like, took a hammer to the base of our ship himself.
	Before, you know, he either got tired out or subdued by the other crew members.
	And he caused serious and potentially irreparable harm to the very fabric of Canadian Western society.
	I no longer view Canada as a free country that operates under the rule of law.
	Travel restrictions.
	Okay, so Maxime Bernier is going to be on the channel next week.
	Maxime Bernier, the leader of the PPC, he's filed suit at the federal level challenging these...
	I would love to get Brian Peckford on.
	I got his name right, people.
	Everyone faulting me when I get Brian Stetler wrong and everyone else.
	I do it to people that I respect as well.
	I don't do it as a needle.
	Brian Peckford has filed federal suit challenging the vaccine mandate travel restrictions.
	I would love to have Peckford on.
	And maybe Maxime Berenia has a connection to Peckford.
	But Maxime Bernier is going to be on next week, and we're going to talk about his pending lawsuit.
	Joy of elected dictatorship.
	Teapot dictators.
	I don't believe in the dichotomy of left versus right.
	I'm just saying, growing up, I always heard the expression, behind every liberal politician is an aspiring dictator.
	It's probably not much different than for most politicians, but I now understand that.
	Justin Trudeau.
	Is an aspiring dictator.
	And he cloaks his aspirations for absolute dictatorship power under the cloak of benevolence.
	For your safety, we've got your back.
	You know what, government?
	Back off.
	Don't get my back.
	Back off.
	I want you in my life as little as humanly possible.
	Like toxic forces.
	Like the dentist.
	If I need you...
	Once a year, so you can clean the crud off my teeth that I can't get myself.
	Other than that, I don't want to see the dentist.
	And doctor, you know who I'm talking about?
	If you're my dentist and watching, I love you, but I hate the dentist.
	The government might be necessary for certain things, but as little as possible.
	And I don't need them getting my back.
	I don't need them supporting my family.
	I can do that.
	And I need them to enable me to do that and enable and empower Canadians to do that by leaving them the heck alone unless they need or ask for your help.
	No, dentists, I feel bad for dentists.
	They have the crappiest job on earth because it's a necessity, except maybe they try to sell things that you don't absolutely need, but they've got to make their money and pay off their machines as well.
	But they're a necessary evil.
	But I've only met one person who actually liked going to the dentist, and that was my former mentor.
	And he said it's the quietest 30 minutes that he can get in a week.
	Everybody hates the dentist, even though they need them and they love them and, you know, you need them to do the stuff.
	They sit there and dig at your gums.
	My gums don't bleed anymore when I go to the dentist because I floss twice a day and I brush and I take care of my teeth.
	But they still torture me.
	Anyhow, that's it.
	I'm going to get off the dentist right now.
	And they have a high burnout rate because they know day in and day out, everyone who's sitting in that torture chair does not want to be there.
	And that's a very, very soul-crushing thing.
	Love being a member of your Fro Thought Cult, Candice Magnus.
	Thank you.
	Oh, and I'm wearing...
	I didn't even do it on purpose.
	Hold on.
	Oh, yeah.
	Russell Brand, you got competition in the house.
	I'm just going to go ahead and pin that before everyone sees it.
	I have like literally five...
	Chest hairs.
	I consider it a sign of evolution.
	I have no body hair, and I never grew wisdom teeth.
	Interesting facts.
	Let's just see if I can get some more here.
	I think I have more time.
	People don't mind sticking around, and I'll just keep seeing what we've got in the chat.
	Maybe your mentor was getting special treatment.
	And he also, from what I understand, did not use any painkillers at the dentist, which I don't either, but I've never had my wisdom teeth removed.
	Oh, wait, no, no.
	Wait, this one.
	Incorrect.
	Portal potty cleaners are the crappiest job on earth.
	Funny you should mention that.
	That is Sunseal Silverfall.
	I just watched Jackass 3D and Jackass the original again, or at least parts of them.
	When they did the poo cocktail supreme, when Steve-O buckled himself into a portal potty that was filled with dog feces and urine, and they attached it to bungee cords, and they blasted him up into the space, and...
	Like, oh my god.
	I mean, that was just on the subject of porta-potties.
	Canada is not the nation I served or grew up in.
	Sad state that some are good with that.
	Keith Tarnofsky, thank you very much for the super chat.
	There are some people, though, who tell me Canada has always been this way.
	We're just seeing it now.
	So I guess COVID has been good for something.
	You know, it started off with, you know...
	Human rights tribunals.
	And who could have ever thought that a human rights tribunal could be a weaponized bad thing?
	We've seen how it's worked.
	Le Freedom Fro est particulièrement active aujourd 'hui.
	The Freedom Fro is particularly active today.
	Yeah, I brushed my hair the other day also.
	By the way, if anyone hasn't seen Jackass, it's when art meets science meets Childhood.
	The dentist is like a spa day for you.
	I love my dentist.
	Then moved on.
	Current love torture for...
	Current loves torture for nothing more.
	The dentist doesn't clean your teeth.
	The dental hygienist.
	Okay, true.
	Fair point.
	The dentist comes in to make sure everything...
	They come in and they look at my teeth and he says, you got beautiful teeth.
	And I look at my disgusting yellowed teeth.
	I was like, what is beautiful?
	I know they're in line and like...
	I see nothing beautiful about my teeth.
	They're old.
	If you look at them really closely, you can see little hairline things, which I'm afraid is from chewing ice.
	The fact the Emergency Powers Act can take away our rights means we actually don't have those rights.
	If it can be taken away, it is a privilege.
	Cool, frozen yak.
	And I agree.
	And in our Charter of Rights, Section 1, you have these fundamental rights and freedoms.
	Guaranteed!
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	I know everyone has seen this, but let me just get it.
	Let me just get it so that people can just bask in it.
	Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
	Everyone just has to...
	Let me just go with the text.
	Everyone just has to read section one.
	Continue to the publication.
	There we go.
	All right.
	I'm going to share this.
	We're going to end on this.
	Talix is in the house.
	Talix, the meme master.
	I got your email, by the way.
	Careful with no chest hair and evolution.
	Headline tomorrow, going to be YouTube who declares to start...
	No, I get these little pockets of hair, which I then just pull out because I don't...
	I've never been a fan of body hair.
	I appreciate it.
	It has practical value.
	I'm sure that if I were submerged in ice-cold water, I would survive a shorter period of time than someone with body hair.
	Let's go share.
	Oh, now I hear a dog that might have to go for a walk.
	Share.
	Here we go.
	Human Rights Charter.
	Let me see if everybody can see this.
	And if you can't, it doesn't matter.
	I'm going to zoom in.
	Here we go.
	Appreciate this, people.
	The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it.
	Subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.
	People, just appreciate everything you read out here.
	Just put a little asterisk right there.
	You got rights.
	Subject only to such...
	And it used to be, once upon a time, the thought was that any limitation had to be the most absolutely...
	Insanely necessary limitation.
	The test set out by the Supreme Court in Oaks, it's called the Oaks Test, provided the threshold that needs to be met in order to possibly satisfy that big asterisk under Section 1 of the Charter.
	And guess what the government did in the last two years since 2020?
	Violated every right we've ever had under the Charter and never sat one day in court to satisfy the Oaks Test as provided for.
	And moreover, never even made it law the means through which they were systematically violating our most fundamental rights and freedoms over the last two years.
	Okay, Viva Barnes, I've never really liked the term...
	Viva Barnes, I've never really liked...
	I don't...
	Look, Seth Rogen uses the term.
	Other people do.
	It was in...
	It was in that movie.
	Road Trip.
	Seth, you think you're cool with that little fro?
	I don't like it.
	Because a lot of people have fro's that do not fit into any one of two demographics.
	So that's it.
	That's what we have this week.
	This Saturday.
	It is 2 o 'clock.
	The wife should be coming back from the tea party with the mother-in-law and children shortly.
	Nicholas Wandsbutter.
	Lawyer.
	Oh, shoot.
	Oh, my goodness.
	He would be a great guest.
	I met him at the protest, and I have to call him.
	Hold on.
	This is beyond screenshot.
	is picture now um I agree.
	Okay, so let's see.
	You have the rights until they say, you're staying home now from 8.30 to 5 in the morning.
	Because.
	Alright, we got this.
	Thank you, Viva, for pointing out fake news.
	Without you and Russell Brand, we would never know.
	We are being screwed over.
	Thank you.
	I just...
	I never set out to...
	Oh, I hope you didn't give a super chat twice thinking it didn't go through the first time.
	I see two from what seems to be the same avatar.
	And that will make me feel bad.
	No, maybe that's just...
	Okay, hold on.
	Oh, Catty Kitty, I hope you didn't meet...
	Anyways, thank you because you had one super chat without a comment.
	And then a super chat with the comments.
	And I hope you didn't make the super chat with the comment to get the comment there because you hit the super chat the first time.
	Thank you very much.
	Skip next week if that was a mistake.
	Yeah, I never said it.
	First of all, I'm not even sure that I ever knew that I was being lied to so thoroughly until 2016.
	And then I was still too nervous about making enemies on the interwebs, offending people by pointing it out.
	And that was 2016-2018 evolution.
	And then 2018 to 2020 to present.
	I was afraid of sharing my own opinion because, you know, like on the Leah Thomas debate, you know that by sharing your opinion, and as much as I think it's justified, reasonable, logical, and respectful to everyone involved, you know that you're going to upset people.
	And I never liked upsetting people.
	I still don't.
	But at one point, I came to full grips with the fact that you are necessarily, no matter what you do, going to upset people.
	So you may as well upset them for doing what you think is right.
	And upset them for being honest, forthright, consistent, and...
	Oh, you still smell good.
	Yeah.
	Winston's here.
	You want to say goodbye to everybody for the day?
	Hello.
	Thank you all for coming.
	I am good.
	All right.
	But that's it.
	At some point, just by expressing an opinion, you're going to upset somebody.
	But if I'm going to, I'm going to make sure that my opinion is as justifiable as possible.
	And if I change my opinion because new facts emerge or I got something wrong, I believe I have the intellectual honesty and lack of ego to actually do that.
	All right, people, let's do this here.
	We got one more.
	We don't ever challenge the government on these rights.
	Truckers finally pointed it out.
	Yep.
	Bow-wow, David.
	All right, and we got...
	Thank you very much, Paula.
	Facts.
	Lols.
	Now, I don't know what that means, but yeah.
	Viva, I'm so late.
	Did you see Viva Elon face match?
	Yeah, I saw the video on YouTube.
	Quite funny, actually.
	I mean, it's horrifying.
	It's not flattering for Elon.
	It actually, I think it's a one-notch upgrade for me, but money for treats for Winston.
	Thank you very much.
	See, here we go.
	Here we go.
	Dot the five.
	I said, do you know what three politicians on the bottom of a grid?
	What does dot the five mean?
	I'm going to have to go look it up now.
	I'm looking it up and I'm never going to ask again because I still don't know if it's bad.
	Bola 300 today.
	I don't think I can Bola 300 ever on these new pin technologies.
	I got a packet of 100 games.
	It cost $117 three or four years ago.
	I still have those games because I haven't been able to use them over the last two plus years.
	But I don't think I can ever Bola 300 game on this new pin technology.
	Great information today.
	Thank you very much.
	Okay, so that's it, people.
	Thank you.
	I'm going to go post another clip on my Viva Clips channel.
	So if everyone's not subscribed to that, that's where I post certain highlights from these streams.
	Viva Clips.
	We've got the Viva Family, which I really have been neglecting.
	Not the family, but the Viva Family channel.
	Just because it's hard to actually do the Casey Neistat type vlogs when there's just so much other stuff going on in the world.
	Oh, hold on.
	It's a dumb YouTube emote.
	That doesn't help me.
	Now I gotta go find out what it is.
	Anyways, with that said, people, thank you very much.
	Share around.
	Clip Twitter stuff.
	Keep looking for the truth in as much as it can be found.
	And I still say be respectful, even though every now and again I call people abject idiots on Twitter.
	That's only when they behave like abject idiots.
	Meanwhile, January 6th, defendants are sipping margaritas on a beach in Florida.
	Yeah, except they're not.
	All right.
	Oh, by the way, Travel Fund 69, I just got a notification, March for Freedom.
	So Travel Fund 69 is live now.
	I'm going to put this in the chat, is live now in Ottawa.
	And he's going to be talking, he's going to be, I guess, live streaming the Ottawa protests.
	So go check that out.
	Zot and Charlotte are live streaming in the States, I think.
	Others are as well.
	But go check out TravelFun69.
	Seems to be live-streaming the protest in Ottawa.
	I wish I could have been there, but...
	Whatever.
	Okay, so glad I seen you at the trucker protest and someone said, that's viva.
	Watch him.
	He's awesome.
	Thanks for all you do.
	Mickey Mahoney.
	Awesome avatar.
	My kids, we went to an island, Ile d 'Orléans, and when the tide went out, it left all that fine silt of mud.
	And the kids went nuts in the mud.
	It was beautiful.
	Okay, so go check out the other people who are live streaming, documenting reality in real time to make sure that we don't get misled, duped, and lied to by the media.
	And for the rest of it, tomorrow night, see you all soon.
