	Okay, we're off.
	Okay, I started with that, people.
	Because I noticed early on in the chat, someone said if you start with another Trudeau clip, I'm unsubbing.
	There's going to be enough Trudeau clips in the context of this live stream that I figured I'm not going to punish you more than I have to.
	And speaking nature lover, I started that clip for another reason as well.
	I've had a pain in my back.
	Since Sunday.
	I didn't fall this time.
	But, like, I haven't exercised those muscles in a little while.
	Oh, but it hurts.
	It hurts.
	Oh, gosh.
	Anyhow.
	So I've been walking around.
	You know, I've been able to jog.
	I went biking yesterday.
	But, my goodness, yeah.
	42 years old.
	I'm going to be 43 in one month.
	Oh, my God.
	Less than one month.
	I'm going to be 43. May 23rd, people.
	But I figured I'd start with that video.
	Get everyone warmed up for another stream.
	Explain why my back is hurting.
	And another intro story which will turn some people's stomachs.
	I was at the park the other day with my kid.
	Mountain Royal Park.
	They have a beautiful playground there.
	And they have this little spinny thing that you sit in and you spin it around and the kid gets in it.
	And then freaks out because there's a little spider underneath the handrail.
	And it's like, that's not a big deal.
	So I take the spider, show her the spider.
	And then the spider crawls up under my jacket and disappears into my jacket.
	And I'm not the type to kill an animal because of my own life decision.
	So the spider crawls up into my jacket.
	And I don't panic.
	I don't have anything against spiders.
	Take off my jacket.
	I think I shake it out.
	The spider seems to have bitten my torso three times.
	I woke up the next morning with three orange or pinkish-reddish dots.
	If anybody's had poison ivy or anybody's had shingles, you'll know the itch that I'm talking about.
	It is a debilitating, to the core of your bones, itch.
	That little bastard spider bit me.
	And then I looked it up afterwards, and apparently it's called a yellow sack spider.
	Very small spiders, and they just bite.
	And it feels like a tick.
	But, my goodness.
	So now I've got a sore back.
	I've got three of the itchiest spider bites you can imagine on my stomach.
	So itchy that I had a dream that I was scratching them, and when I woke up, I was scratching them.
	Low volume, Viva.
	Hold on.
	Let me see here.
	Damn it.
	Let me see what my settings are on the mic, because I'm being in...
	Why would the mic be at...
	24. Do I have to do the intro all over again?
	Why doesn't it have automatically adjust the volume?
	What's going on here?
	Okay, is this better?
	Let's see if this is better.
	Do I have to go over everything that I just said again?
	I don't.
	I'm not going to.
	Viva is kvetching.
	Where did it go?
	Oy vey!
	My back hurts.
	My body's itchy.
	And now we've got to go from that physical body pains...
	To the spiritual body pains of talking about what is going on.
	Oh, God.
	Okay.
	Damn it.
	You know who has the hardest time in this?
	Eric Hunley sends me the remastered audio so I can turn it into podcast thingy things.
	Now there's going to be like massive, massive irregularities in audio.
	So what is up, people?
	The big news of the day.
	LegalBytes, in real time, hit 100,000 subscribers, covering Johnny Depp, covering the trial.
	The amount of people watching that trial, it's mind-blowing.
	There are, like, law and crime.
	I think they had hundreds of thousands.
	They had, like, tens of thousands easily.
	It might have been over 100,000.
	I think it might have been over 100,000 watching this.
	You got LegalBytes.
	You got Ricada.
	You've got this other guy, Journalist.
	Journalist Tom or something?
	I'm just going and seeing the amount of live streams and the viewership on those live streams.
	I mean, it's amazing.
	It's amazing the level of interest there is in this, but it's like peering into the lives of the rich and the famous to say, my goodness, you know, rich or poor, it's good to be rich, but rich or poor, it's good to have healthy relationships in your life.
	So the...
	Oh yeah, 300.
	So I'm not going crazy.
	370,000 people.
	And it's like you're listening to a soap opera all day.
	It's like the Young and the Restless.
	Except it's real in a sense that it's actual humans.
	But I'm not going to get into it.
	I popped into Legal Byte's channel earlier today.
	It's an interesting...
	The expert that testified today on Amber Heard's personality disorder.
	What do they call it?
	Borderline personality disorder?
	It's insightful stuff to understand as relates to identifying that type of behavior in other people.
	It's useful in terms of identifying it when it occurs in real time so you can avoid the type of relationship that Johnny Depp seems to have been in with Amber Heard.
	So there's that.
	If you want to like...
	You know, draw something, a pragmatic value from watching the trial.
	There's that.
	Other than that, I mean, it's like this is people craning their neck at a car wreck because Johnny Depp's relationship with Amber Heard was a car wreck.
	I mean, look, I won't say that I was wrong.
	I won't admit that I was wrong.
	It's not, because it wasn't a categoric statement, Johnny Depp should not go to trial.
	I said I would be very reluctant if I were Johnny Depp to go to trial because ugly stuff is going to come out about him during the trial.
	Nobody's going to look good.
	Now, I mean, I guess that might have been my advice as a lawyer and I've now witnessed enough of the trial to say, yeah, I mean, even if Johnny Depp loses the trial now, it's going to be a win in the public eye because I think, The details coming out of the actual abuse that Johnny Depp was going through, was enduring.
	He can lose this trial now.
	The world now knows, I think, quite clearly, who was the abuser in that relationship.
	Physical, psychological, emotional.
	I mean, physical.
	The stories of Amber Heard throwing...
	Bottles of vodka at Johnny Depp when he was drinking.
	And then one shattering and slicing off the tip of his finger.
	I mean, he can lose this trial now.
	And the public.
	And millions of people.
	I mean, 373,000 on law and crime.
	Tens of thousands on it.
	I mean, you're talking like millions of people watching this in real time.
	They now know.
	And like, it seems to be not just incontrovertible evidence.
	It seems to be admitted evidence.
	There's like...
	It's there.
	I mean, Johnny Depp might have some bad stuff there, but the world now understands what he was going through.
	And for all his foibles, it's not because you have problems with drugs or you have other problems in life that you can be a bona fide victim of somebody else.
	It's not because you're a male, a big, massively successful male, that you can't be in an abusive relationship with a smaller female.
	Anyway, so that's it.
	We don't need to go over that.
	Apparently, she lied about having PTSD, Amber Heard, as a result of the abuse that Johnny Depp allegedly inflicted on her.
	And they went to have a court-ordered expert assess her level of PTSD.
	And that expert concluded that not only did she not suffer from PTSD, but she suffered from borderline personality disorder and was lying about the PTSD in this expert's humble opinion.
	that you know like there's 20 indications of post-traumatic stress disorder and typically like you even in a bona fide case of someone who genuinely has it you might take off like five of the 20. Amber Heard ticked off 19 of the 20. And then this expert, you know, concluded that not only did she not have PTSD, but she had BPD, borderline personality disorder, which would explain everything that she did and said and how she interacted with Johnny.
	Yeah, I wish they would televise Ghislaine Maxwell's trial.
	Things that make you go, hmm.
	Yep.
	No, no, it's like, televise for show, conceal for dough.
	Ooh, not bad.
	There's the old expression in golf.
	Drive for show, putt for dough.
	Televise for show, and conceal for dough.
	Federal courts don't broadcast trials.
	State courts do.
	Nonetheless, so that's it.
	This is not about Johnny Depp.
	This is not about Amber Heard.
	This is about, I mean, we're going to talk about Twitter.
	We're going to talk about my inability to understand sarcasm on Twitter to a point where it's embarrassing because I don't get...
	It seems that I'm incapable, at least I was yesterday and this morning, of identifying sarcasm, satire on Twitter.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm going to bring one up because I feel like an idiot.
	I feel like an idiot partially because I think I might be...
	Sometimes I feel like I'm turning into an idiot.
	Yesterday, a Twitter account...
	Now, I will say you make mistakes when you make presuppositions where when you see a blue checkmark with I'm leaving the US if Trump gets elected or I'm going to Canada if Elon takes over Twitter, you make...
	You might approach something with presuppositions based on you see a blue checkmark, and if you don't know the person, you think they're being serious.
	Which really, it confirms that you need to...
	Where did it go?
	You need to verify things before...
	I saw a TED Talk where someone said, you know, the...
	Being right and being wrong feel the same.
	And it only feels bad when you realize you made it when you were wrong.
	Okay, why can't I find what it was yesterday that made me...
	Ah, here we go.
	Here we go.
	Okay.
	So, Katie Herzog.
	I see a blue checkmark and I read this.
	I said, if Elon buys Musk, I'm moving to Canada.
	And I thought it was serious.
	I didn't know who Katie Herzog was.
	And I just responded.
	I took the bait and I said, enjoy your endless and arbitrary curfew.
	You'll have lots of time to rethink your decision when you're locked in your house from 8 in the evening until 5 in the morning.
	Do you have kids?
	They especially love curfew.
	All to avoid a free Twitter.
	And I said it still like tongue-in-cheek somewhat, kind of.
	And it was to sensitize people to the actual, you know, like the grass is always greener.
	Everyone says it.
	But sometimes the grass actually is greener.
	I didn't know.
	I'm an idiot.
	Couldn't identify it.
	And then when I found out, I said, I have to leave it up.
	I have to leave it up because I have to remember what this feels like.
	Make sure you double check.
	If something sounds a little too absurd, chances are it probably is.
	But I say that, and then Tim Pool this morning retweets, this is real, and it's an exchange between Zuby and Hanania, Richard Hanania.
	And I...
	I don't know anymore.
	I don't know anymore.
	I feel like I'm not taking crazy pills.
	I feel like I'm just...
	It was a good response.
	It was a good response for anybody who's serious.
	But yeah, it's...
	So I...
	I'm going to leave up the evidence of my own stupidity, but I'm getting a little concerned.
	Every now and again, I read things literally.
	Somebody made a joke about...
	They went with their dog to the park, and the duck didn't like their dog because it was purebred, and I was like, I didn't even get the joke.
	And I'm starting to question my own intelligence, but we'll leave it there.
	Vile Impaler says, I am super-duper interested in seeing what is found in the code once it's made public.
	Everything people have been suspecting to be true, super excited.
	This, I presume, we're talking about Twitter.
	So we now know it's a done deal of sorts.
	I mean, it's got to go through some procedural stuff, but Elon Musk is going to...
	Twitter accepted Elon Musk's offer to purchase the company.
	People have been melting down.
	People have been going a little...
	They've been overreacting.
	Sean King, I'm looking your way.
	Brian Stelter, the king of fake news, comes out and says...
	There'll be absolutely no moderation.
	There's going to be absolutely no rules.
	Twitter is going to turn people...
	I mean, I don't know what people think.
	I genuinely don't believe they actually believe what they're saying, but it's good for news and it's good for clicks and it's good for demonizing Elon Musk and it's good for stoking fear, stoking panic, stoking...
	I won't say...
	It's good for dividing and conquering, so to speak.
	But there have been a lot of people on Twitter...
	They're saying that they've noticed their subs going up a lot.
	Cat Turd being one of them.
	Cat Turd, for anybody who's interested, awesome Twitter to follow, but is in the hospital with some form of stomach blockage.
	I don't say thoughts and prayers, but well wishes.
	And Speedy Recovery Cat Turd.
	I tried to make a joke.
	It might be a hairball, but I don't want to make light of anybody's actual serious problem.
	But anyways, Cat Turd.
	Nothing but good news, so heal up and hopefully it's not serious.
	But people have been saying they've noticed their sub count going up.
	And I've noticed more, I guess, than typical, but I have noticed people commenting in Twitter saying, I'm back.
	Never thought I'd come back, but here I am.
	And in other news, to toot a little bit of Rumble's horn, Rumble...
	On Truth Social, just reached 500,000 subs.
	But Truth Social, the app, is now number one in the App Store.
	Which, contrary to what I predicted the other day, I said, the only people who are going to lose from an Elon Musk buyout of Twitter are going to be Truth, Getter, and the other alternative platforms, which were going to be the free speech platforms.
	It seems that a rising tide lifts all ships in the truest of senses.
	But I know people have been flipping out on Twitter in ways that are...
	Unbelievable to watch.
	But the best one, someone asked, who's Sean King?
	Who's Sean King?
	Let's see this.
	I have to bring it up because I'm going to start with the tweet.
	Start with Sean King's tweet.
	I actually, I'm not entirely clear on who Sean King is.
	I hear some jokes about, you know, based in identity stuff, race as to Sean King's genetics versus his public image.
	And I don't know anything about it, so I don't want to get into it.
	But this is Sean King now.
	Everybody's flipping out that Elon Musk now has taken over Twitter.
	It's going to turn into an extremist, right-wing, rule-less, whatever.
	Ask any conservative this question and watch them struggle to answer it.
	Since you say free speech and all speech needs to be allowed on Twitter, does that mean you believe that should include targeted hate speech against Jews?
	Should that be allowed?
	Be specific and clear.
	Now, I think I responded to him.
	I just tweeted, like, define hate speech.
	Be specific and clear.
	But what I found more interesting is this is an individual who's now freaking out about free speech.
	He says, since Elon Musk says all legal speech should be allowed on Twitter, isn't he aware that it's legal to advocate?
	I'm not sure that this is true, by the way.
	In fact, I'm fairly certain it's not true.
	I'm fairly certain that is illegal, but setting that aside, this man is scared about hate speech.
	Sean King.
	Did he change his profile?
	Hold on one second.
	Sean King?
	Oh, he changed his profile!
	Good thing I screenshotted it.
	My response to Sean King was, when this was Sean King's profile, I'm still here, mother effers.
	And this dovetails into people not reading sarcasm or everyone taking things verbatim on Twitter.
	I said, Mother Effers is hate speech.
	Sean King should be banned from Twitter.
	He changed his profile.
	I'm going to take credit for that.
	I'm going to take credit for that people.
	It's, it's, it's, I, First of all, it's projection with lack of insight.
	It's confession through projection with lack of insight.
	This is a man who, by his own standards, by his own fallacious reasoning, would probably be guilty of hate speech more than most people that he accuses of.
	And they just, they're unaware.
	They don't assess, they don't view themselves.
	They lack self-awareness.
	It's the worst type of confession.
	It's not that he's accusing others of what he knows that he's doing.
	I think he's unaware.
	But this guy now is worried about hate speech on the platform.
	Targeted harassment against any individual.
	By the way, that's already illegal.
	Targeted harassment.
	There are criminal provisions to deal with that.
	Hate speech.
	You have different hate speech laws in the States, but there are still...
	Laws against calls to violence.
	There are laws against not necessarily doxing, but public disclosure of private facts.
	There's already laws against that.
	And define hate speech, Sean King.
	Someone said, by the way, I shouldn't give him more attention than he deserves.
	But at some point, you're not necessarily talking to the person, but you're using that person as the...
	Not a pretext, but rather as the platform from which to share a message that's relevant from that individual.
	I don't care if Sean King ever sees this, but other people out there who share the same concerns.
	What is hate speech?
	Specifically, is...
	I can think of some examples that people would qualify as hate speech that I might not qualify as hate speech.
	But people are just flipping out.
	Brian Stelter is going on the news saying there's going to be no rules.
	It's going to be the Wild West of like, you know, everyone...
	Other than being untrue, if you can't handle a little words that you don't like, maybe Twitter's not the place for you.
	First of all, there is anonymity on the internet.
	The internet is remorseless in terms of its humor, cynicism, jaded observations.
	If you can't handle it, you don't craft...
	The public market around your own sensitivities.
	Maybe you govern your own behavior based on your own sensitivities.
	I will not repeat this.
	I can neither affirm nor deny.
	I am unaware.
	But sticks and stones.
	So this is what's going on in Twitter.
	But I have noticed an increase in minor but higher than average.
	And a lot of people are noticing it too.
	Now, the question is, is Elon Musk, are they shredding documents behind?
	You know, they made a joke that apparently they've now frozen some aspects of Twitter so that disgruntled employees can't mess with Twitter during this takeover.
	The question is whether or not they're not messing with the system right now, but they are destroying the evidence of what they had hitherto been doing to mess with the system, to shadow ban, to...
	To downgrade, downprioritize certain accounts that are now seeing the light of day on Twitter.
	Let's see this here.
	Viva, have you heard that the Biden admin are now trying to reform Section 230 to require transparency?
	Well, I was going to pull that up.
	That's part and parcel of what we're discussing now.
	Yes.
	And now, all of a sudden, Elon Musk takes over Twitter, and now you have Jen Psaki.
	I think I'm going to say Jen Psaki because I think it actually sounds better.
	Jen Psaki.
	You have Jen Psaki now publicly stating they're going to entertain the idea of Section 230 reform.
	And I made a tweet about it.
	We don't need to read a tweet.
	But I said, you know, it's interesting.
	The same people who were just railing against DeSantis for...
	And not the same.
	This is not a targeted critique of any specific individuals who were...
	Defending Disney, because I think that they would have consistent views on this.
	There's going to be a lot of people, a lot of politically motivated people who are railing against DeSantis for political reprisals, for stripping Disney of their special tax exemption privileges, whatever, saying that that's political reprisal for exercise of free speech.
	You're going to have a lot of those people now who are going to suddenly support Psaki and a government amendment of Section 230, revising it.
	Reforming it to counter what they perceive to be this absolutely exaggerated, non-existent threat of Elon Musk taking over Twitter and, I don't know, using it for nefarious purposes.
	So you're going to have people engaging in motivated reasoning.
	DeSantis is engaging in reprisals and it's unwarranted and unjustified and only evil Republicans do that.
	But Psaki all of a sudden saying, yeah, we're eyeing reforming Section 230.
	That's okay.
	I have always been something of, not an advocate, but support the idea of Section 230 immunity because I think that the reform that I have in mind, which is not tailored but tempered by Robert Barnes' assessment, I've changed my opinion on some of the Section 230 immunity because if you strip the immunity of the platforms, in reality...
	Strip the online tech platforms of Section 230 Immunity for their moderation.
	If they moderate and editorialize, they can be held accountable for what they do.
	Fine.
	What's the reality of that?
	The Facebooks, the Twitters, the YouTubes.
	What's the other one?
	They will be able to pay the fines.
	That will result from that.
	But the smaller platforms will...
	Absolutely not be able to assume those costs.
	And so effectively, that type of stripping of immunity would, in fact, indirectly only benefit the big tech companies that have deep pockets and can handle that type of fines and administration, and the smaller platforms, it would bankrupt them.
	So an outright stripping of Section 2, remove, repeal Section 230, would sound good, but would actually only benefit the bigger players already.
	The Barnes approach, which is the carrot and the stick, you will get Section 230 immunity if you respect First Amendment constitutional protections.
	If it's not illegal, leave it up.
	And if you want immunity, you can cure it, you can remove the illegal stuff, but you can't violate First Amendment laws if you want that immunity.
	Or...
	Be totally transparent, show how you're doing it, and show that it is being politically, apolitically applied, as opposed to, you know, totally hidden, totally lacking transparency, and arguably politically weaponized.
	So we'll see what...
	Something tells me, however, that Psaki's idea of, you know, reviewing Section 230 immunity is going to impose more...
	More penalties and more specific censorship as opposed to more transparency and more lawful freedom to the platforms to allow some content that might offend people, but that is not illegal and that should not be removed in a politically weaponized manner.
	Okay, let me see.
	I saw two Super Chats.
	So, but anyways, let's see how they review it.
	Something tells me they're going to do it the wrong way.
	You know, they deserve immunity if they are not weaponizing the censorship or the content curation.
	Crowder exposed King for doing it, so you don't think I'm acting in bad...
	No, no, I don't think you're acting in bad faith, fringe Canadian whatsoever.
	You've got a name, fringe Canadian.
	You can't be acting in bad faith.
	You might have unacceptable views, but I don't think...
	No, and I heard the stories too.
	I just, you know...
	I also know what I think personally of this Sean King character based on his own tweets.
	Freedom of speech is essential to our well-being.
	Thank you for being a caring person.
	The world needs more people like you, Viva.
	Thank you very much.
	Look at that little dog.
	It's a cute dog.
	Hold on.
	I have to bring one up.
	I have to bring this up.
	It's satirical.
	It's satirical to the point of absurdity.
	Twitter?
	Bring this one up here.
	It was today.
	It was today that I put it up.
	I mean, you could make it up, but people would think you're lying.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	It was a headline.
	It was a headline from NPR.
	I mean, you would think it was the Babylon Bee headline, but they actually think free speech is a threat to democracy.
	The article on the left from NPR.
	Unfettered free speech.
	is a threat to democracy, journalists say.
	So it's not NPR, it's a journalist.
	Go look up the article.
	I don't think I clipped it here.
	I mean, it's a joke.
	Unfettered free speech is a threat to democracy.
	I mean, that's a little bit of confession through projection as well, because unfettered free speech ends up getting exploited and weaponized by those who use the unfettered free speech to silence other people for using their free speech.
	But I mean, it's like...
	It's like democracy is a threat to democracy.
	Open elections is a threat to democracy.
	Unfettered free speech is a threat to democracy.
	And then you got the article from Obama, which is recent.
	Obama argues unregulated social media is a threat to democracy.
	As opposed to government-regulated social media.
	Politically motivated government regulation of social media.
	The only thing that is a threat to democracy, Is darkness.
	Transparency, open dialogue, even if it hurts your ears to hear it, even if you think it's targeted at specific groups because it addresses things in a open, callous, insulting manner, you do not have a right not to be insulted in this life.
	But speaking of something dying in darkness, Tim Pool.
	Check this out, people.
	This is fantastic.
	This is fantastic.
	Let me see this.
	And this is Tim Pool.
	The Washington Post and Taylor Lorenz doxed Libs of TikTok.
	They included a link to private work details and an address listed as Libs' private home.
	They lied about it, so I got an ad in Times Square calling them out.
	That, Mr. Poole, is money well spent.
	Yeah, best use of money ever, ever.
	They don't believe that free speech and unregulated social media is a threat to democracy.
	What they mean is that free speech...
	And an unregulated social media is a threat to their power.
	And that's true.
	That is one, probably 100% true.
	Because you don't censor and suppress ideas that are idiotic, stupid, and that pose no risk to your holding of power.
	You actually amplify those messages.
	The old Napoleon expression, you know, never, is it Napoleon or Sun Tzu?
	Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.
	If someone wants to hang themselves, give them a little rope.
	If illegal content can be removed, why wouldn't Congress make something very specific illegal to enforce such a thing?
	Well, I mean, that's weaponizing the political process.
	I mean, this is the thing, going back to Sean King, hate speech.
	Targeted hate speech against Jews.
	I listened to some of our members of Parliament in Canada say that honk honk was a, what do they call it?
	Code for the Schmile Schmittler.
	Because it was HH.
	So honk honk becomes hate speech now.
	You know what?
	Hate speech, you can have a problem with it or not.
	I'm growing to have a problem with how it's been implemented because calling someone a clown, calling someone a clown world becomes hate speech.
	I happen to think that there were already, you know, technically speaking, hate speech in the sense of promoting violence against specific individuals, targeted harassment, threats, was already illegal.
	To say I don't like Fill in the blank.
	It makes you an asshole.
	Should it be illegal?
	If I were president or prime minister, I don't like filling the bracket with whatever.
	Would not be...
	Hate speech.
	Tom McDonald.
	There's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate.
	I think you give those people a bullhorn.
	No one's going to look at that and say, I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.
	You sound like you have some very interesting ideas.
	I say you give them the bullhorn and you let everyone know exactly who they are so that you can know to avoid them, actually.
	So that's what's going on in Twitter.
	I mean, it's interesting.
	What I can't get over is Elon Musk, he just has to...
	I say this with no envy and I say this out of jealous envy.
	And there's no but.
	He has to feel like the coolest guy at the party now.
	He has to feel like the guy at the party.
	And everyone's like, dude, buy a bottle and give everyone a drink.
	And he's like, okay.
	And he does it.
	And it was like, dude, this guy's awesome.
	Imagine he actually bought Twitter.
	He gets up and says, there's a problem on Twitter.
	And people are like, go buy it.
	And he buys it.
	And he buys it.
	And before he can even do anything, like concretely, You start seeing effects.
	Everywhere.
	Across all platforms.
	Truth starts seeing a spike.
	Rumble starts seeing a spike.
	It's almost like freedom of speech is good for everything.
	It's almost like competition is good for everyone.
	But he actually woke up one day and said, there's a problem.
	Go buy Twitter.
	And he literally bought Twitter.
	And now everyone out there, you may think he's got ulterior motives and whatever.
	It's fine.
	You can never...
	I can't definitively argue intentions, but you can certainly observe results.
	Whether or not he wants to do this to plant a chip in the back of your head and whatever, whether or not he's doing this strictly as an investment for Tesla, whether or not he's going to abuse of his newfound powers in the future, we'll see.
	For the time being, the dude bought Tesla.
	The dude bought...
	I just blew my soundbite.
	The dude bought Twitter.
	And people are melting down at the prospect of less content moderation on a social media platform.
	Like I said on Twitter, people having breakdowns over the prospect, because it hasn't happened yet, over the mere prospect of potentially less content moderation on stuff that might hurt your spirit or hurt your ears or hurt your eyes to see, hear, or read.
	The fact that that causes a meltdown, that is the definition of a snowflake.
	Can you imagine if you want to be on this platform and you want to say, you can't call me names.
	You can't call me a mother effer.
	That's offensive to me.
	Have them removed.
	Sir, have the individual who just called me a name removed from this public institution that I came to voluntarily.
	Doesn't work at a bar.
	Why would it work on social media?
	He bought Twitter.
	And people are melting down because they think there might actually be more free speech.
	Tom DeLonge.
	Tom DeLonge from Angels and Airways.
	And I know people are going to rag on him.
	I still like him.
	I think he's been overcome with some media hype.
	But what did he write the other day?
	It's amazing to see the perspective.
	Let's see if anybody can find this.
	This is how I've been feeling a lot lately.
	I don't even know anymore.
	Are you being sarcastic, dude?
	I don't even know anymore.
	Okay, get out of there.
	Tom DeLonge said to Elon, what happens if politicians use the platform to lie?
	What happens if foreign entities use it to...
	Here we go.
	Tom DeLonge.
	First of all, I think I like Angels and Airways more than Blink-182.
	There I said it, but I love Blink-182 as well.
	Tom DeLonge, as far as Angels and Airways, it's art.
	I mean, it's obviously art because it's music.
	I love it.
	And I love the lyrics.
	And I think his lyrics are a lot more...
	I would think based on Tom DeLonge's lyrics, he would not ascribe to these political views, but whatever.
	Tom DeLonge, what if...
	And he's replying.
	To Twitter.
	I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter.
	I screwed up.
	Because that is what free speech means.
	And this is what Tom DeLonge says, a public figure who's been very vocal about Ukraine, who wants his freedom of speech.
	He says, what if politicians use it to lie?
	Can you imagine if politicians need Twitter to lie?
	In fact, if politicians...
	We'll get to my response.
	Or foreign governments, and I think he means Russia, spend billions on tech to use bots as a means to induce political and civilian chaos.
	What then?
	What if it amplifies hate and division just because it's free speech?
	What then?
	Here's actually a phenomenal concept.
	If speech actually amplifies hate and division, the problem probably is not the speech, but a society that finds that speech compelling.
	That a society that actually finds that speech motivating.
	And in which case, you're better off knowing of the problem because it doesn't go away just because you don't let people say the things that other people find compelling publicly.
	They'll say it.
	And they'll say it underground.
	They'll say it on alternative platforms.
	They'll go to other platforms where it's only going to be an echo chamber of these thoughts over and over and over again.
	And people who share them, reaffirming them.
	And that, by the way...
	It's how you get people radicalized.
	If you want to talk about how radicalization happens, that's how it happens.
	Forcing people into their own silos where there is no countervailing view.
	But if you have people out on Twitter using free speech to promote hate and division, I guarantee you, Tom DeLonge, it's not going to be all that popular.
	It won't be all that popular.
	And you're better off knowing who they are.
	Or foreign governments spending billions to use bots as a means to induce civilian chaos.
	First of all, I think...
	Elon has announced his plan to address the bot issue.
	But imagine the accusation here is that governments, foreign governments, are spending billions to influence other nations.
	And I said, you know, Tom, you might want to look a little closer to home.
	What if politicians use Twitter to lie?
	Then expose the lies, Tom DeLonge.
	And if you are worried about entities inducing political and civilian chaos, look no further than CNN and MSNBC.
	They did it.
	It's their model.
	It's their business model.
	They sit around inducing social chaos.
	Mostly fiery but peaceful protest.
	That is what mainstream media in America does.
	But even they should be allowed on Twitter, sunlight is the greatest disinfectants.
	Because it's not a Viva Fry tweet without a darn typo.
	This one didn't get the Ryan Reynolds, dammit.
	It got the disinfectant, leaving the typo, because I think I created a new word.
	YOLO.
	Anyway, so that's, you know, I think we're good on the Twitter rant.
	I see a chat up here that I missed.
	What about the lives ruined from false allegations of hate speech?
	What about the lives ruined?
	Because once people are deplatformed, in French we say, les absents ont toujours tort.
	Those who are absent are always wrong.
	What about those who are kicked off of social media platforms and aren't there to defend themselves and are just maligned by those who effectively got them kicked off?
	Unfettered free speech has, with some few exceptions, has been the rule for more than 200 years in the USA in democracy, and democracy survived.
	How can it now be a threat?
	Well, I'll push back a little bit.
	There has never been unfettered free speech because you're not allowed threatening to kill people.
	You're not allowed issuing death threats.
	You're not allowed doing a number of things.
	You're not allowed...
	It has never been unfettered.
	You're not allowed defaming people.
	I mean, people don't say, so you're for unfettered free speech?
	You think everyone should just go run?
	No.
	You're not allowed defaming people.
	Maybe it's not a limitation on free speech, but it's certainly a consequence of the unlawful exercise of freedom of speech.
	So it's never really been unfettered anywhere.
	There have been lawful limitations.
	So what's different now?
	Right now, it's not a question of freedom of speech.
	It's a question of actual overt censorship of ideological and politically driven The idea that you can't discuss certain medical things, that Twitter says you can't run ads that deny the climate science, climate science, and that is to say the climate consensus now of these, what we've now seen as highly politically motivated experts, that's nothing to do with free speech.
	That has to do with outright ideological censorship.
	But, yeah.
	Having content flagged for medical misinformation on YouTube when it's coming from doctors?
	This is not a question of free speech anymore.
	And to cloak it in a free speech issue is a lie.
	I know they have said this, but it is getting harder and harder for Babylon Bee to out-satire reality.
	It really, really is.
	Snowflake meltdown is fake.
	Oh, let's see this.
	I just submitted an appeal to get my account unsuspended.
	I gave the following reason.
	Since Elon Musk bought the company, I need my account back.
	Jacob, let us know how that goes.
	I know Trump said he's not coming back regardless.
	Be interesting.
	We'll see what happens.
	Oh my God.
	He might be crazy.
	I'll call it eccentric.
	I don't want anyone accusing me of minimizing mental issues.
	And I wish there were other words to describe.
	I'll say eccentric.
	I like some of his eccentricity.
	He's out looking for aliens.
	I mean, I like it.
	I think it's a no-brainer, depending on what your definition of alien is.
	But I saw him...
	Really not, I'm not going to say towing the line, but I saw him really getting heavily into the MSM, getting emotionally involved.
	Now, maybe he's got, maybe he is, for whatever the reason, emotionally attached in this conflict.
	And so he has, you know, family on one side or the other.
	But I was surprised to see, based on some of the lyrics in some of his songs, I was surprised to see it.
	Actually, she used the word acronym.
	She literally thinks honk is an acronym for hail.
	Bad guy from WWW2, which would actually be the acronym for HH, not honk.
	No, no, she said honk honk because of putting the two together, HH, and that's how you got it.
	These are the people we have in government now.
	Wait until we get to the people we have in government now.
	No, I love Blink-182 as well.
	I still love them, and I actually love the new singer that took the place of Tom DeLonge.
	Just a totally random parenthesis.
	I can't imagine what it feels like to be the new band member coming in to replace Tom DeLonge in Blink-182.
	The pressure, the feeling of almost like you're a fraud, that you have no business here, the feeling like you're effectively having a very intimate relationship with someone else's partner.
	Dude came in to Blink as an estate.
	Blink had 20 years of legacy.
	And a total stranger.
	I've never met the guy.
	I've known Blink.
	Since I was with my wife, girlfriend at the time, in Paris at a concert.
	500 people in the venue.
	It was the best concert of my life.
	I've known Blink for 20 years, and now they're throwing some straight...
	It's like replacing a character mid-series.
	How difficult a role that has to be to assume, and he's done it well.
	I forget his name.
	If anyone knows, let me know.
	Tom Blong is aliens crazy, though.
	Serious.
	Thank you.
	Total parentheses closed.
	But my goodness.
	Oh.
	Katenji Brown is the best they could have done.
	Okay.
	I had a thought as I was driving my kid to school this morning.
	3,000 years ago, the ancient Greek philosophers, the intellectual cream of the crop at the time, they came up with moral political philosophy.
	They came up with...
	You know, they came up with social theories.
	They came up with the observations of the essence of humankind.
	The top thinkers of 2022 can't say what a woman is.
	And you imagine, in 3,000 years' time, they're still going to look back at Aristotle, Socrates.
	They're going to look back at the classic thinkers, Descartes.
	These people who really had the insights of insights.
	As the greatest thinkers of their time, and they're going to compare it to the greatest thinkers of our time.
	People who either can't or are reluctant or who lack the intellectual fortitude and the spiritual strength to say what a woman is as they take the highest court of the land.
	People are going to look back at this era, and they're going to look at politicians, they're going to look at medical experts, they're going to look at scientists, and they're going to say, There is no mind that is beyond parasitic infiltration to channel little Gadsad.
	So-called hate speech is extremely subjective and dangerously so, as loud leftist sycophants solely hold the keys of the Overton window.
	I like the way that is said.
	It's true.
	Because it always starts off as the most egregious, clear-cut examples of hate speech, and then it literally turns into...
	If you call me dude, in certain contexts, that's hate speech.
	And I've seen, I mean, I never even knew it was a thing until I saw it on Twitter.
	One form of free speech that's never been censored is talking about Bigfoot and aliens.
	True.
	But the one, and I dare say the one that was actually promoted.
	You say hate free speech.
	Oh, no.
	The one form of free speech that had been promoted for a long time, and I think there was a political motivation for doing so.
	Was flat earth free speech?
	Because I think that was being promoted by the powers that be as the pretext to write off anybody who dares question anything as one of those.
	So, yeah.
	All right.
	Well, we do got to get to the bad Canadian stuff.
	Let me see here.
	What happened to the Michaels in China?
	Oops.
	I mean, Pat King and Mr. George.
	So Pat King, I looked into it.
	Pat King.
	The convoy organizer, who actually was not a convoy organizer, still sitting in jail.
	And his hearing, I think he was supposed to be...
	I thought it was this week.
	And I looked it up and there was no update.
	So I don't know when he's...
	Still in jail, by the way.
	But what I can tell you, and I'm going to try to make my way down to Ottawa for the hearing on Thursday.
	Randy Hillier.
	Who I know is being represented by David Anber.
	Let me see this.
	There's a hearing on Thursday.
	What day is it today?
	It's Tuesday.
	There's a hearing on Thursday in Ottawa.
	I don't think there's going to be Zoom, and I don't think it's going to be televised.
	So I think I'm going to drive down, sit in on the hearing, and then do a live stream, maybe a talky live stream on the way back to let everyone know what's going on.
	So stay tuned for that.
	And I'm going to be in Ottawa over the weekend.
	I don't know if I'm going to go down and stay overnight Saturday, but I'm going to go down either Saturday and Sunday, but definitely Sunday for Operation Rolling Thunder.
	What is supposed to be not a protest, a rally, a show of respect to the war monument by war veterans.
	And I talked about this the other day, that they can't have vehicles in the vicinity because...
	Yeah.
	You can protest only the way the government tells you.
	When they can tell you, how they tell you to do it, for how long they tell you to do it.
	And you never know when it becomes illegal, but the government will tell you when it's become illegal and then go after you with the full force of a highly politically weaponized police force, judicial force, government force.
	Our burnt-out Blink sweatshirts to save you.
	You're welcome.
	I hate these.
	I hate any stinging insect.
	But spiders, I don't have as much of a problem with spiders.
	Even when they crawl up my freaking sleeve.
	No, I'm not going to show you my...
	My wife always tells me nobody wants to see my injuries and nobody wants to see my broken pinky toe.
	Sorry.
	Force of habit.
	Alright.
	We demand freedom for Pat King.
	This is one of those situations where there might be more to the story.
	He's had many, many lawyers and that has...
	Delayed hearings, interrupted hearings.
	It should never have been an issue in the first place.
	And lawyers...
	It goes without saying, by the way, but unfortunately, it's not the world we live in.
	Lawyers should not face ethics complaints from non-clients.
	In fact, sometimes from other professionals.
	I'm not speaking on my own behalf here.
	Lawyers should not...
	I mean, it's mind-boggling that there are some people out there who are so vengeful, so politically motivated, or so ideologically ignorant, naive, that they think it's justified to file ethics complaints against lawyers because of the clients that they are representing.
	It's not about...
	Who you are representing.
	It's about how you are representing them.
	And if you think it's a good world in which people feel intimidated into not taking certain clients because of social pressure, ethics complaints, you might just be the tyrant that you purport to want to be protecting us from.
	Show us the toe.
	It's a very cool thing.
	I flat out broke my pinky toe in half.
	It was so shocking, the pain.
	I kicked a bike pump just by accident as I'm walking through the house, and I heard a snap, excruciating, like seeing red pain.
	And then the next day, the entire base of my foot is totally purple, but they don't do anything for broken toes.
	The bone healed totally unattached.
	So I can physically just turn my toe a full 90 degrees to the left.
	It doesn't hurt anymore, with absolutely no ability to stop it.
	It really freaks out the kids.
	I'll tell you that much.
	Kids find it fascinating.
	That sounds a little weird the way I say it, but I impressed my kids' daycare class with it.
	Okay, serious question.
	I know I'm always making jokes.
	John Ritterhoff.
	It's who I am.
	Burning your country's flag.
	Free speech.
	This is a hard one for me because I'm a veteran.
	I say it should be allowed.
	I mean, I obviously think it's reprehensible, but it should be allowed.
	You know, it's one of those things, like, okay, fine.
	And John Ritterhoff, I'm going to ask you this then.
	You know, burning a religious book.
	You say burning the flag?
	No.
	You start creating these, like, not sanctimonious is the word I'm looking for, but like quasi-religious.
	Holiness of certain things.
	The flag...
	Who is this?
	It seems that the car...
	My car is ready.
	You start creating these arbitrary, stigmatized levels.
	Like, you just can't do that.
	You know, a foreign flag, fine, but not your own flag.
	Okay.
	No religious textbooks.
	No keepas.
	I mean, all this...
	It makes you a...
	I think it makes you...
	I question the judgment of anybody who does it thinking it proves a point.
	But they should have the right to do it, I think.
	And more importantly, I'd like to know who they are.
	So, sacred is the word.
	Booty call.
	No, you know, no, no. 21 years of marriage.
	The booty call does not come when the children are awake.
	I can tell you that much.
	Marriage pro tip.
	Okay.
	Levi, you want a toe?
	I can get you a toe.
	And now I just had an immediate flash of season one, episode one of Dexter.
	Okay, just because you're allowed to do a thing, does it make you not?
	Well, that's another thing.
	It's like, you think people should be allowed to say racist things?
	I mean, it makes them a-holes.
	But I mean, to some extent, I would like to know who are the people that I would consider to be my ideological enemies.
	I'd like to know who the people are that I consider to be, you know.
	Who don't like me?
	I'd like to know.
	And in as much as it's possible to not convert people in that sense, but to change people, let's engage in dialogue because every now and again it works.
	Okay, so with that said, let me see.
	With that said, people, we've had a nice...
	It's been wonderful on the ears, wonderful on the eyes thus far.
	Let's change that.
	That might be hate speech.
	One day, one day in the future, calling a politician a psychopathic liar might be hate speech.
	One day calling the politician a petty tyrant might be hate speech.
	But listen to this.
	Hold on, let's just...
	On Monday, as we entered the third week of illegal blockades and occupations, the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act.
	We did it to protect families and small businesses, to protect jobs and the economy.
	We did it because the situation could not be dealt with under any other law in Canada.
	Liar!
	Liar!
	On Monday, as we enter...
	Liar.
	Liar.
	And it's not...
	I don't understand the law.
	It's not, I'm just exaggerating.
	It's not, as we say in French, bon d 'oeil, good fraud.
	You know, like when you're selling a car, you say, ah, this is the best car on the market.
	Everyone knows that that's not intended to be a factual statement.
	It's good.
	What do they call it?
	There's an English term for it.
	Bon d 'oeil, as we say in French.
	This guy says, we did it.
	We did it.
	Hold on, actually, let me just do this here.
	Burning Bibles and flags is completely disrespectful.
	Type of defamation.
	The U.S. has a law against disrespecting the flag.
	Viva, love your humor.
	And then we're going to get into...
	Yes.
	It's worse than verbal diarrhea.
	What is worse than verbal?
	We need next step worse than verbal diarrhea.
	I just want to just highlight the part where it's the lie.
	We did it because the situation could not be dealt with under any other law in Canada.
	Liar!
	I'd like to ask you a question, Justin Trudeau.
	Everybody who was charged with a crime, I mean, we're going to get to it, by the way, because there was only and only one thing that they did that could not have been done under any other existing law.
	There was only one thing.
	Chat, if you know what that one thing is, put it in the chat before I get to it.
	Everyone who has been charged with a crime from their participation in that unlawful protest was charged under an existing law.
	There was no other law.
	What did he say again?
	What did he say?
	Hold on.
	I got to punish you and everyone else in here.
	What did he say?
	Could not be dealt with.
	Could not be dealt with economy.
	We did it because the situation could not be dealt with under any other law.
	We did it because the situation could not be dealt with under any other law in Canada.
	Everyone charged was charged under an existing law.
	What was the situation that couldn't be dealt with under any other existing law in Canada?
	Trucks parked illegally.
	The trucks were parked illegally.
	Of course, it's a bylaw infraction.
	It's not a criminal infraction.
	So they were parked unlawfully.
	When you double park your car, It's illegal, but it's not a crime.
	It's a statutory offense.
	So there were laws to ticket the cars.
	There were laws to tow the cars.
	There were laws to prevent honking.
	Nuisance laws.
	There were measures.
	The court came in and said injunction against the horn honking.
	And by the way, people don't really appreciate this.
	It wasn't just horn honking at large.
	It was specific.
	What do they call them?
	Train horns, powered horns, truck horn.
	It was specific horn honking.
	There was nothing that occurred in those three weeks that could not have been dealt with under any other existing law, except, except, hold on, let's see if the chat got it.
	Freezing of the bank accounts.
	Except the freezing of the bank accounts.
	Freezing accounts.
	The chat's good.
	Not parked when inside it.
	No, it is.
	It is.
	It is, in fact.
	But yeah, it doesn't matter.
	The freezing of the bank accounts was the only thing that they could not do under any existing law.
	Why?
	Because it's fundamentally unlawful.
	The arbitrary...
	It is a charter right.
	I mean, I'm not pulling up the charter now because I didn't think I was going to get to this part, but it's a charter right.
	Unlawful search and seizure.
	Freezing your bank account is nothing more than seizing private property done without court order, in the absence of any criminal charges, in the absence of any charges whatsoever, at the direction of the government who immunized the banks for doing it or promised to immunize the banks.
	There was only one crime that was committed for which there was no existing laws to deal with, and it was seizing of the bank accounts.
	Nothing else and nothing else, full stop, could not have been dealt with under existing laws except for authorizing, instructing, the seizure, not the seizure, the freezing of bank accounts and promising to immunize the banks for doing it.
	This is worth 20 bucks.
	I have to give you props because you're one of the very select set of people that didn't butcher my last name.
	The first time you read it.
	That's impressive.
	Most impressive.
	Ritterhoff.
	Well, it's a good last name.
	Now I just have to go Google what it means, because I'm fairly certain that is of Germanic origin, if I had to.
	Guess.
	It's an outright egregious lie.
	It's a bull-faced lie.
	There's a whole side thing going on, by the way, with...
	I saw the post.
	I forget who the guy is.
	Someone sent it to me.
	I get way too many messages to be able to address them all, but someone sent me, I don't know his name, a bearded guy, he speaks well, talking about Diagalon.
	I haven't been able to independently confirm and verify the story that the individual is saying, that they started this rumor about some rogue entity called Diagalon, and that's what...
	Members of Parliament were relying on to justify the invocation of the Emergencies Act.
	I don't yet have enough information to have an opinion on or even have verified the rumorings.
	I know the chat's going to know more about this than I do, the diagonal.
	But it was a lie.
	Our Prime Minister got up in front of Parliament and lied to the country.
	And it's not just that he lied to the country.
	I was weighing all of the words that I wanted to come out of my mouth right there.
	It's not just that he lied to the country.
	The man of the people, Jagmeet Singh, after saying that Trudeau, his response to the protest was awful, incompetent, voted with Justin Trudeau on this.
	So you know who you cannot ever trust again.
	In politics.
	And you think it's fine now because he did it to the protesters and you don't like those protesters.
	Jagmeet Singh has proven that he's even worse than Justin Trudeau because I have no doubt Justin Trudeau knows exactly why he's doing it.
	Jagmeet Singh aided and abetted a pathological liar in the desecration of our Charter of Rights.
	Do you know if there's an expiration date on the flight vaccine passport mandate?
	Maybe it won't be removed if not when...
	Well, there's lawsuits.
	They're going to drop...
	They have to drop it.
	I just don't know when.
	When they start getting made fun of on Tucker Carlson again, because Canada is a backward, tyrannical, authoritarian regime that openly discriminates against its own citizens' medical conditions in the absence of any possible...
	Let me...
	Hashtag no medical advice.
	This is the legislative side of it.
	In the absence of any legislative debate, of any public debate, of any scientific evidence being presented for the purposes of adopting this discriminatory legislation, Justin Trudeau, because it's 2020, enacting policy that he knows is having a disparate impact on Black Canadians, Indigenous Canadians, Latino Canadians, you may as well say we're making it harder in Canada for...
	Black, Latino, Indigenous children, 12 and up, to fly and travel within the country.
	That is what it is.
	So when are they going to backtrack on this, like they backtracked on all the other garbage?
	When there's enough public outcry, public shame, public humiliation, and international mockery.
	Or who knows, maybe they'll double down again, like Trudeau did, bringing in the militarized police force.
	It's actually Dutch, and the meaning is ridder, gentleman, on horseback, hof, area of a town or town square.
	Gentleman on a horse of the square, loosely translated knight of the square.
	I like your avatar as well.
	Looks like you're into some skydiving and military training stuff.
	Thank you very much.
	John, that's fantastic.
	It's cool.
	I love the origins of last names.
	You can tell a lot, not about a person, but the history that formed a person by last names.
	So when is it going to happen?
	I don't know.
	But it will happen, and you know what?
	Again, history will not be kind, politically speaking, to these people for what they've done now.
	12 years old and over, in order to fly or take a train in Canada, you have to show proof of vaccination.
	12 and over, if you come into Canada and you are not vaccinated and not exempt, They require 12-year-olds who are not exempt and older, but let's just take 12-year-olds, to quarantine for no less than 14 days when coming in.
	Vaccinated children, vaccinated 12-year-olds, do not have to quarantine.
	Negative tests, I don't even think they have to get tested, actually.
	But an unvaccinated 12-year-old who could have crossed the border to go grocery shopping in Albany, if they are unvaccinated and not exempt, Coming back, have to quarantine for 14 days.
	You tell me what that is, if not medical discrimination.
	And by the way, who is most likely, more likely to be underrepresented in the vaccination column?
	Black Canadians, Indigenous Canadians, Latino Canadians.
	And by the way, and women who may not want to run certain risks, you know, potential issues with menstruation.
	Black Canadians.
	Indigenous Canadians, Latino Canadians, women with legitimate concerns, and Justin Trudeau comes out and calls those people racist and misogynist extremists.
	We're not done with this.
	Shalom.
	Is it possible to apply for U.S. citizenship as a medical refugee?
	I don't know.
	Bustrom.
	Bustrom.
	But hello right back at you.
	No, I don't know.
	I mean, it's going to be a question that...
	I'll ask Barnes on Sunday because there are going to be people who are going to try to make that claim.
	Imagine if it continues like this, how is this not some form of political persecution?
	12-year-olds, can you imagine the idea of quarantining a healthy 12-year-old who's tested negative simply because she or he has not had a vaccine?
	That, the idea of quarantining...
	A healthy 12-year-old for 14 days is child abuse.
	I don't care that the government thinks they found a justification for it.
	Two years ago, that would have gotten...
	Two and a half years ago, that would have gotten a parent put in jail.
	But now because the government tells you to do it, it becomes morally justified?
	Hold on, I just saw something here.
	Texas.
	Dude, one day.
	Viva, you and your family woke up.
	One day I'm going to get to Texas.
	I'm going to go alligator garfishing because I've seen the alligator garfish in Texas look like the sturgeon in British Columbia.
	Beasts.
	I agree with you.
	Thank you.
	But I mean, it's forcing a 12-year-old kid to quarantine for 14 days.
	Healthy, negative test because they're not vaccinated and they don't have an exemption.
	That would and should get people locked up in ordinary times for doing it.
	Okay.
	But now on the subject, by the way, because we're not done with Trudeau and we're not done with what's going on because there's...
	This is...
	You want to talk about, you know, what $600 million will buy you in terms of media coverage?
	What a billion dollar subsidy annually to the CBC and Radio Canada will buy you annually?
	Listen to this.
	Listen to this.
	Okay.
	And I'm going to ask the chat what you guys think of this in terms of how it sounds.
	CBC News.
	Let me just make sure we're looking at the same thing.
	We are.
	Did I see?
	No?
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	Okay.
	Here.
	This is from CBC.
	And play like the proud music that you know CBC would play if this were being read.
	On TV.
	Trudeau calls public inquiry into use of Emergencies Act during convoy protests.
	Official inquiry into the federal government's use of the Emergency Act headed by Ontario Judge.
	I'm asking you in the chat.
	You read this.
	Trudeau calls public inquiry.
	I read this and I was like, oh, that's benevolent of Justin Trudeau.
	I don't want to taint.
	I already poisoned the pool.
	When this headline says, Trudeau calls public inquiry.
	Do you think that makes Justin Trudeau look good or bad?
	Do you think this headline is intended to frame it as though Justin Trudeau is doing something benevolent, responsible, by calling an inquiry?
	Let's see.
	One, four, yes, it makes him look benevolent.
	Two, neutral or no.
	So it says, scared.
	Okay, interesting.
	Scared, bad, arrest Trudeau.
	Yes.
	Okay, don't spoil this.
	You know, I guess I'm spoiling the surprise.
	KL hugs.
	I read that headline.
	I was like, oh.
	And I read the headline.
	And I was like, why would he call an inquiry into the use of it?
	I mean, if anything, I think he wants to avoid revisiting this idea ever.
	I think he wants to avoid the idiotic debates that occurred in the context of that indication.
	The dishonest statements that he made.
	To members of parliament, to Canadian citizens, in the context of that charade, debacle, constitutional desecration of the adoption, the invocation of the emergency act.
	If I were him, I would never want to speak of it again, because nothing good is going to come out of shedding sunlight on that.
	Nothing good is going to come out of unpacking that wound.
	So I was like, oh, why would he be doing that?
	I mean, good for him, I thought for a second.
	Let's just read the article.
	This article doesn't tell you the punchline.
	Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Monday for the establishment of an inquiry into the use of the emergency act.
	He called for it.
	It's his decision.
	In a news release, Trudeau said the...
	Come on, dude.
	Producer.
	In a news release, Trudeau said an independent public inquiry called the...
	In a news release, Trudeau said an independent public inquiry called the public...
	Order, Emergency Commission, P-O-E-C, the POC, would be created to examine the circumstances leading to the declaration being issued.
	Trudeau invoked the act for the first time in Canada's history during the Freedom Conference because there was no other law in Canada that could have resolved people parking their cars on Capitol Hill.
	Is it Capitol Hill?
	No, it's on Parliament Hill.
	Okay.
	Yada, yada, yada.
	Okay, they got a judge.
	Trudeau said in a statement.
	Rula would look into the circumstances.
	Okay, fine.
	Critics say inquiry won't scrutinize the government.
	Those critical of the government's decision to invoke the act describe the inquiry as overly focused on the actions of protesters and the role played by fundraising and disinformation in the event.
	Conservatives argue the liberals are using the approach to deflect attention from the government's own actions and decisions.
	Yada, yada, yada.
	The Canadian Civil Liberties Association, which is suing the federal government over its decision to invoke the act, said the inquiry does not appear to be focused on government accountability.
	Mendocino, by the way, this is the guy who said that, you know, they had to invoke the act because there were threats of a very specific type of assault of a sexual nature.
	This is what this guy actually said with a straight face to justify invoking the Emergencies Act.
	He drafted the invocation document, whatever it is.
	Mendocino told reporters that Rulo will have broad access, including to classified documents, but there do appear to be limits on the information that can be disclosed through the inquiry.
	Justin Trudeau?
	Limit information that can be disclosed through a publicly ordered inquiry?
	Because we're going to get there.
	The order in council that sets out rules for the inquiry calls on the commissioner to avoid disclosing information that could be injurious to Canada's international relations, defense and security.
	Thank you.
	My goodness.
	Okay, and it goes on.
	But remember this, by the way, and if I forget to do it, remind me, we have to talk about the article about Justin Trudeau, the RCMP deciding not to investigate Justin Trudeau.
	Because it might have been, it might have, we'll get to it.
	It might have, you know, not, it would not have been in the public's best interest.
	To issue, to press criminal charges for fraud against Justin Trudeau for what they obviously thought might have been fraud in what he did with Aga Khan and, you know, bribery potentially.
	So the government is telling you how you can protest, when you can protest.
	They unilaterally declare it unlawful.
	And they're going to limit what you can see in the scrutiny, which is not a decision that Justin Trudeau made.
	It's not a benevolent...
	It's not a benevolent...
	This act of transparency, it's in the law.
	It's in the law, and Justin Trudeau had no choice but to, what's the word, declare this inquiry.
	He had no choice.
	And so CBC frames it as Justin Trudeau's calling him.
	He's decided to do it.
	He's announced the formation of this inquiry, and he set out certain criteria as to what can be disclosed in this benevolent act.
	He has to do it by law.
	And the first indication, just take another article, which is like, you know, just to see how different outlets cover this.
	Trudeau announces Emergencies Act inquiry.
	Justice Paul Arulo can have people testify in public and demand the government provide documents.
	This is more of the same, but it was somewhere in here that it gave the indication.
	Here we go.
	This article mentions it.
	The government was legally required to announce an inquiry within 60 days of the revocation of the act.
	A clock that ran out on Monday.
	They were legally required to do it.
	CBC frames it like Justin Trudeau decided to do it.
	And in his decision to do it, he's deciding what they can access in the context of this legally required inquiry.
	Does it sound familiar like other things?
	People will think I'm a theorist if I talk about the fact that...
	The government was training Chinese soldiers on Canadian soil for wintertime military exercises.
	I don't think they're going to give us all the information on that.
	There's other cases as well where they're not going to give us all the information.
	We Charity scandal.
	Other scandals.
	The inquiry, in addition to the Parliamentary Committee studying the invocation, which we'll hear from Public Safety Minister Marco Mendocino and Justice Minister David Lemene.
	By the way, go check out these two guys' Twitter feeds.
	Marco Mendocino and David Lamedi.
	Follow them on Twitter and understand that these are the individuals that have wielded so much power in Canadian politics.
	So National Post mentions that it's a legal requirement.
	And don't trust me.
	Don't trust the National Post.
	Trust the law.
	Here, from the emergency act.
	I hope this is the right section.
	Inquiry.
	Justice.qc.ca The governor in council shall, not may, not can, shall.
	That's a legal requirement.
	Within 60 days after the expiration or revocation of a declaration of emergency, cause an inquiry to be held into the circumstances that led to the declaration being issued and the measures taken for dealing with the emergency.
	Report to Parliament.
	A report of an inquiry held pursuant to this section shall be laid before each House of Parliament within 360 days.
	For those of you who are not good at math, that is five days less of a year after the expiration or revocation of the Declaration of Power of Emergency.
	He had to do it.
	There was no benevolence.
	He had no discretion.
	But they frame it as though it was a decision, as though he had discretion, and as though...
	He has the discretion to limit the scope of the inquiry, because it certainly does sound like he's limiting the inquiry to say, we have to go see, we have to go inquire as to how bad those protesters were that they made me do this, when I'm not sure that that's the exact reason of the inquiry.
	When you shred the Constitution, let me rephrase, when you make a decision, To basically break out the nuclear weapon of laws.
	You'd better bring the receipts as to why you did it afterwards.
	It is for transparency of government.
	Not so that the government can weaponize the inquiry to go reinvestigate the people that it spent the last three months politically persecuting.
	But leave it up to Justin Trudeau to turn it into that.
	This inquiry, which is supposed to be...
	To expose and make transparent the government's decision to invoke the nuclear weapon of legislation, they're going to turn it into a politically weaponized tool to use government resources to go further investigate those bad, bad protesters that made the government use the Emergencies Act.
	And it's par for the course with a petty tyrant who has...
	No respect for the Charter of Rights and great admiration for the basic dictatorship that is China.
	And that is his quote, not me putting words in Justin Trudeau's mouth.
	Dude, learn and do a segment on the law of declining virulence.
	Viruses decline in lethality.
	Even the horrible Spanish law only lasted two years.
	No medical advice.
	No election fortification advice.
	No legal advice.
	Now let me just go refresh and see if we just got demonetized for...
	It literally just got demonetized.
	And by the way, I'm joking.
	It probably was me railing against Supreme Leader Justin Trudeau.
	If I do one of those, I'll get a doctor on and I'll do it on Rumble exclusive so that we can actually have a meaningful conversation.
	I'm just going to get to some super chats before going to the decision.
	I don't want to say secret police.
	My police have decided not to investigate me.
	Why aren't the courts stepping in?
	It's before the courts now.
	It's going to be a matter of time.
	And unfortunately, the court system is a question of hurry up and wait.
	And you wait two years for a decision on the merits, and you might still be unhappy.
	Bark, bark, bark, bark, barkable.
	How long before Elon buys Canada and fires Justin?
	Okay, look.
	Only because it's there.
	Only because it's there.
	Hold on.
	Let's just go back to my Twitter feed.
	I made the joke.
	I made the joke.
	Here.
	Here.
	Here we go.
	This meme took me like three hours to do.
	This is based on an actual exchange between Red Letter Dave.
	I think it's Dave Smith and Elon from 2017.
	It said, I love Twitter.
	Dave Smith said, you should buy it then.
	He says, how much?
	Because I'm so funny and it took a long time to do that.
	I hope it was worth it.
	Yeah.
	He could buy it.
	You can't save a people who don't want to save themselves.
	People voted for Jagmeet Singh.
	People voted for Justin Trudeau.
	They voted for their oppressors.
	Some people feel freer in the shackles.
	It's like Lonely Island YOLO.
	Oh, Jesus.
	Oh, come on.
	It's the part where they have to pull your teeth out so you can't bite your tongue.
	Some people feel the need to remove their teeth to protect themselves from biting their own tongue.
	EMA invoked BC of Diagalon.
	Meme country.
	Tag me on some of these tweets so I can find it.
	Why is there no legal way to remove Trudeau from office with all the egregious things he has done?
	Three and a half years.
	We're going to get to it, actually, because...
	The ethics act, whatever it is, it doesn't have the power to remove someone, but when someone gets found guilty under the ethics act of having breached the ethics act twice, the solution is supposed to be the political solution.
	You're not supposed to re-elect someone who's been twice convicted of ethics breaches, but third time's a charm, maybe.
	We'll see.
	Maybe then Canadians will learn.
	Montreal family of five, we're all unveed by choice and leave country.
	Where are we?
	In Cuba.
	It's good fishing in Cuba.
	And you leave, but then the question is if you ever have to come back.
	Two weeks of your life, unless they revoke or rescind these orders.
	Injurious to international relations, wasn't Trudeau's total pasting by world leaders injury enough?
	No doubt injury.
	You know what it is?
	Maybe he was spying on other political...
	I don't know.
	Injuries to international relations.
	Any excuse?
	Any excuse to control the information?
	Pierre Durand-Lau says...
	Oh, sorry.
	I got that already.
	Mendocino said the judge is qualified to determine the Emergencies Act was used appropriately, not that the judge is qualified to investigate.
	All in the language.
	It's interesting.
	I mean, I might have to have Keith Wilson on or another lawyer who would, you know, this is uncharted territory for most lawyers because the Emergencies Act had never been invoked.
	So clearly they had never issued the inquiry that they are lawfully required to issue underneath in virtue of it.
	So it's not clear who determines the scope of the inquiry and what the scope of the inquiry is.
	But you know darn well what they're going to try to do.
	They're going to try to turn into like a January 6th committee.
	Which is not to investigate how January 6th could have been allowed to occur.
	It's to investigate and prosecute and desecrate the Constitution as relates to every one of the accused.
	Much love and God bless.
	A lot of people have forgotten that Canada is still doing the VPs.
	Love you all from America.
	They don't do it provincially anymore.
	They've rescinded the provincial.
	Vaccine passports.
	So, you know, now luckily, 13-year-olds who choose not to get vaccinated can play sports after school, after a year of psychological abuse.
	And they wonder why kids are having issues now these days.
	January 6th, Commission Canada style.
	Yep, 100%.
	Okay, so let me see one other thing here.
	Before we get...
	Someone said Canada is already sold.
	Well played, whoever said that.
	Viva.
	I read it and definitely believe JT intended to use it as a reverse psychology.
	It was meant for who still believe as a PM there's only one choice going forward.
	Viva for PM.
	Don't get your hopes up, Lisa.
	But thank you for the super chat and the encouragement.
	Okay, I'm not going to bring up some of these.
	Psychological warfare, without a doubt.
	Viva, your hair looks good.
	What shampoo and conditioner are you using?
	I don't know.
	I know I'm using some really old bottle of hair oil.
	But I notice the grays are not coming out quite as much now because I've changed the lighting a little bit.
	Viva, I need a favor.
	Patrick Lancaster has not dropped the video in a few days.
	Don't know if he was cancelled on YouTube.
	I do not have Twitter.
	Can you check?
	His Twitter is PLNewsToday.
	Patrick Lancaster was the other reporter on the ground in UK.
	Some people don't like him because of what he says.
	PL News today.
	It seems that his last tweet was one day ago.
	We just got word that a friend of ours...
	Okay.
	So his last tweet was one day ago.
	And the last tweet before that was three days ago.
	So it doesn't look like he's super active on Twitter.
	In any event, I'll ask.
	I know Barnes follows him closely.
	As everyone would know if you follow us on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	So I'll see what the deal is.
	Also, word on the street that Gonzalo Lira hadn't posted in 12 hours.
	Okay.
	So I got to everything.
	I think Viva doesn't want to be PM.
	This place has gone too far down the toilet to plunge.
	Yep.
	Okay, I'm trying to see some...
	Oh, I did send an email to Jagmeet Singh saying how much he should be ashamed of himself.
	I see the rabbit and all I immediately thought was Donnie Darko.
	Yeah, email.
	Email your representatives and let them know.
	Now, let me see.
	Do I have the article up?
	The Emergencies Act?
	No.
	Pretty Please Elon Musk?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	All right, let's go to...
	I'm going to go to this window because I'll be able to find it easily.
	Are we seeing the same thing?
	You won't believe this.
	You want to talk about a banana republic and what a banana republic dictatorship looks like.
	Let me see this.
	RCMP investigates.
	Forget the typos.
	Trudeau.
	Public interest.
	Aga Khan.
	Lots of typos, but I'll get it here.
	Here we go.
	Which one do I want to get?
	Let's go with McLean's right now.
	I haven't read this one.
	I read the other one.
	Uh, No.
	Hold on.
	What is...
	Okay, so RCMP.
	This is McLean's.
	I'll get to the substance.
	I haven't read this article and I saw a word here that...
	RCMP considered charging Justin Trudeau over Aga Khan visit.
	Politics Insider for April 26th.
	Trudeau calls...
	Oh, so...
	Trudeau calls for an inquiry.
	Ottawa braces for another convoy.
	Panel warns about neo-Yahtzeeism.
	My goodness.
	It's not turtles all the way down.
	It's steaming emoji, poop emojis all the way down.
	Charge dodge.
	Charge dodge.
	The RCMP considered charging Justin Trudeau with fraud after his trip to the Aga Khan's Bahama Island, but decided against it because it seems Trudeau had the authority to approve the trip himself, the Globe reports.
	RCMP documents from 2019 reveal Mounties looked at whether they could charge Trudeau based on the findings in a report from the Federal Ethics Commissioner, which concluded that Mr. Trudeau had violated four sections of the Conflict of Interest Act.
	This was his first violation.
	This was before SNC-Lavalin's second conviction.
	This was before the third inquiry into the We Charity scandal.
	Investigators believed there were reasonable grounds to think fraud may have been committed, but lack of clarity in federal rules that apply to accepting gifts stood in the way.
	No, no, no.
	Let me rephrase this for you.
	The lack of will to submit it to the judicial process got in the way.
	Ambiguity in the laws...
	By the way, Let me just bring this back up.
	Oh, I just stopped sharing it wrong.
	Wrong thing.
	You have to appreciate how ass-backwards this is.
	But a lack of clarity in federal rules stood in the way.
	If there's a lack of clarity in a law, how does it ever get tested?
	How does it ever get clarified if it doesn't go to a court for adjudication?
	But I'm going to say, the lack of clarity.
	What they said, let me see if this article uses the term public.
	That's not how you spell public in any realm of the world.
	Here we go.
	The relevant section of the criminal code has a provision which allows officials to accept benefits if they have written consent from the head of their branch of government.
	RCMP Corporal Michael Kipperchuk.
	It may not be in the public interest if it cannot be definitively determined whether or not Justin Trudeau can give himself permission.
	You know how you resolve that?
	You litigate that.
	And you determine in a court of law whether or not Justin Trudeau can give permission to himself to accept gifts.
	And by the way, just so everybody may not...
	What is this?
	You, I do not...
	Oh, get over here.
	You are unfortunately blocked.
	That is the only...
	Sex bots get blocked.
	It's a Kafka novel.
	It's not in the public interest because it cannot be definitively determined.
	You know how you definitively determine if a crime was committed?
	You go to trial.
	Is there a probable cause to believe that a crime might have been committed?
	Well, you have someone thinking he might have committed fraud under the criminal code.
	You have a conviction of a breach of ethics under the ethics code.
	But his RCMP, by the way, I'm fairly certain.
	Let me just see something here.
	I'm fairly certain.
	For those of you who don't know, by the way, Justin Trudeau, the whole issue.
	Is that Aga Khan is a philanthropist.
	He was petitioning the federal government for tens of millions of dollars.
	I think he got like 50, 60 million dollars from the federal government.
	At the same time that he bequeathed, he gifted Justin Trudeau an all-expenses-paid trip to the Aga Khan island.
	Justin Trudeau accepted this gift without declaring it at the same time that Aga Khan was petitioning the government.
	It could seem like a little...
	Here's a big...
	Fat, luxurious gift.
	Take your family to Aga Khan Private Island RCMP.
	And Trudeau took it.
	Didn't disclose it.
	And was found to be in breach of the ethics code.
	That was his first of two.
	But hold on a second.
	Because I think he had...
	So, the RCMP, by the way...
	You know, they decided it's not in their best interest to press criminal charges.
	The RCMP, if my recollection was correct, was with Justin Trudeau as his security when he took this unlawful gift to the Aga Khan Island.
	RCMP not planning to reimburse cost of stay on Aga Khan's Island.
	Critics says not repaying the $56,000 for meals.
	Appreciate what's going on in this country.
	Accommodations and jet skis would be dangerously unethical.
	The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the same one deciding not to press charges against Trudeau because it wouldn't be in the public interest, the same RCMP, do not plan to reimburse the more than $56,000...
	In expenses, its officers racked up for meals, accommodation, and jet ski rentals during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's controversial, not controversial, unlawful, because he actually was found.
	I don't think the report came out by this time.
	Controversial and unethical vacation on the Aga Khan's private island in the Caribbean, CBC News.
	The RCMP says it made numerous attempts to reimburse the managers of Bella.
	Okay.
	The RCMP considers the matters closed.
	The RCMP estimates the decision to close the books.
	Okay, this is irrelevant at this point.
	Here we go.
	Fortin says the RCMP's $56,000 plus for meals, accommodation, and personal watercraft rentals was above and beyond the cost of the trip that are already known.
	The RCMP was with Justin Trudeau on the island.
	And now, in fairness to the RCMP, as far as I understand, although maybe someone can confirm, I think the jet skis were not for their personal pleasure, afternoon-type things.
	I think it was to keep Justin Trudeau for security while Justin Trudeau was out on the ocean.
	I think.
	I don't know.
	Maybe they actually just use it for outright.
	Even the RCMP needs a break when they're on the Aga Khan's private island with Justin Trudeau.
	Either way, the RCMP was there.
	And they have now, the RCMP, said there was reasonable grounds to think that a fraud may have been committed, but there's a little ambiguity in the law, so we're not going to do it.
	And...
	And they decided not to do it because RCMP Corporal Michael Kipperchuk said in a briefing in his notes, an investigation and prosecution under the section may not be in the public interest if it cannot be definitively determined whether or not Mr. Trudeau can simply provide consent to himself.
	The RCMP has investigated itself and decided not to investigate Justin Trudeau because it might actually result in an investigation of itself.
	Atrocious.
	It's atrocious.
	There's no other way to say it.
	There's no other way to say it.
	I want to see what the chat has to think about this.
	I haven't seen the chat in a little while because of that argue.
	The truth is stranger than fiction.
	There is no question.
	Sorry, we can't afford to help our veterans.
	The RCMP had reasonable grounds to suspect that fraud had been committed.
	They chose not to prosecute because there's ambiguity in the law.
	It wouldn't have been in the public interest.
	And lo and behold, wouldn't you know it?
	The very same RCMP was on the island with him, incurred $56,000 in taxpayer costs for accommodations, meals and jets.
	I do not know what this word means, and I'm going to look it up right now because I'm nervous and I don't want to get into trouble.
	I'm going to go ahead and it means the death of rational thought, menticide.
	Oh, actually, pretty good.
	Okay, I can say it.
	Do you know what menticide means?
	And I said the death of rational thought.
	It means brainwashing.
	Also, mind control, thought control, thought reform, and re-education.
	It's a concept that the human mind can be altered or controlled by certain psychological techniques.
	I think my wife, who's a postdoc in neurophysiology, could probably attest to this being true to some extent.
	You know, when we had the live stream with Alex Jones, and people talk about cell towers controlling your thoughts, I think Alex Jones said that hyperbolically.
	That's hyperbolic.
	It's not going to tell you what to think, but if things can interfere with sleep patterns, if things can interfere with physiological distress, physiological responses, that's a form of control.
	It's hyperbolic.
	It might be a little bit exaggerated, but there's still some science to it.
	It's a known fact.
	Your cell phone emits a frequency that will disturb your sleep patterns.
	So that's why you have to sleep with your cell phone in another room.
	Or turn it on airplane.
	Menticide.
	Interesting.
	Thank you.
	Did I bring this up here, by the way?
	How...
	What do you know about Judge Paul Rouleau?
	Nothing.
	I know nothing of Judge Paul Rouleau.
	20 years experience.
	And I don't impugn...
	I don't impugn the intentions or integrity or capability of any judges.
	At large, I'll certainly, you know, I'll comment on decisions.
	The federal judge who said that quarantine hotels were not charter violations.
	You can look for political motivation, but I'll just disagree with the decision, respectfully, as required by our Code of Ethics.
	Viva, I need it?
	Oh, okay, we got this.
	Okay.
	So that's it.
	I mean, that's, you know, the RCMP has investigated their boss, with whom they just took a sweet, sweet vacation, and they've decided not to press charges, because it would not be in the public interest, because it's not clear whether or not Justin Trudeau can authorize his own unethical actions.
	It's...
	Clown world.
	Careful.
	I'm not reading.
	I won't read part of this.
	Careful, Viva.
	Yeah, I hear the business.
	I mean, Tim Poole and...
	Yeah.
	Luckily, you know, in Canada, it's just...
	They just freeze your bank accounts.
	They just go like they did to Randy Hillier.
	Go dissect a month worth of video footage to try to find a baseless allegation to serve as the basis for a baseless criminal charge.
	That will get tossed.
	But in the meantime, you get your headlines.
	Randy Hillier, far-right eccentric, accused of assaulting a police officer.
	Not in the public interest.
	Can you imagine?
	The law is so ambiguous.
	We think there's a problem here.
	But we can't definitively determine it.
	Yeah, that's why you have a jury.
	That's why you have a trial.
	That's why you have evidence adduced and experts there to testify on the raison d 'être of the law.
	That's why you have a trial.
	You don't have judge, jury, and execution are all in one from the people deciding whether or not they're going to investigate themselves, incidentally.
	So I actually only put that together as we were talking about it.
	RCMP saying, we've decided not to do it.
	It's like, dude, I remember the RCMP being on that island.
	Zipping around on jet skis.
	Yeah.
	I was going to make an on a boat reference.
	Okay.
	I thought...
	That would be minticide.
	So why would you want to raise kids in today's world?
	If you raise them properly, you're going to raise them to be stronger.
	You're going to raise them to be more critically thoughtful.
	You're going to train them to be...
	You're going to raise them...
	Not train, sorry.
	That's not a Freudian slip.
	Although I guess raising is a form of training, hopefully.
	You will raise them to be more thoughtful, more critical thinking, more analytical, more thoughtful, more empathetic.
	The world doesn't get better unless people make it better.
	Let me see here in the chat.
	I expected Clown World to be a lot more fun.
	It's like Waterworld, except instead of being fun and entertaining, it's like the worst movie you've ever seen.
	I'm not going to read it.
	Thank you for the super chat.
	Do you know anything about...
	No, I don't.
	Screenshot.
	Oh, my computer uploaded.
	If you saw me on Twitter this morning.
	I click OK.
	30 minutes my computer is updating this morning.
	And now all these new widget thingies.
	I just screenshot it.
	I heard a new noise.
	They got to make the computer experience even more Las Vegas-y addictive.
	Schadenfreude.
	Learn to pronounce...
	Learn to pronounce noun pleasure derived from someone's...
	Schadenfreude.
	If anyone has ever seen the movie...
	John Cusack was the voice.
	It's an animation.
	It's the guy's...
	Gosh.
	And there was Professor Schadenfreude was the professor.
	It means taking satisfaction in the suffering of others.
	What was the name of the movie?
	It was John Cusack...
	Oh, someone in the chat.
	Someone in the chat.
	I know I'll see it in a second.
	Amen, Viva.
	Testify.
	Rickardy69.
	What was the movie?
	John Cusack.
	And I can hear them saying...
	All the characters were the same.
	Not minions, but they were all...
	Dude, if nobody gets it within 30 seconds, I gotta go get it right now.
	It's gonna drive me crazy.
	John Cusack.
	Igor.
	Thank you.
	Damn it.
	Well done, Rick.
	Thank you.
	Waking Life is cool.
	I haven't seen that one in a long time.
	I'm going to have to go back and watch A Scanner Darkly again.
	Although I don't know where my DVD collection is.
	Okay, and I got that too.
	So those are the subjects.
	Who's got some questions in the chat that we...
	Let me see.
	Do I have anything on my...
	Anything else that I wanted to talk about?
	That article that, you know...
	And we only find out about it now, by the way.
	Why did we not learn about it at the time?
	Why did the RCMP not proudly announce we've come to the responsible decision and we think citizens have the right to know?
	I can give you 15 reasons why.
	None of them are good.
	Politics ruins everything.
	Let me just go back to my Twitter feed for my running diary.
	Ooh, I see a new member in the house.
	Hold on a second.
	Got it.
	Actually, just got to bring that up.
	Boom shakalaka.
	Alaskan sauce.
	Dare I ask?
	Okay, that's a crab.
	Alaskan sauce.
	Welcome to the YouTube membership.
	The perks, I haven't been all that good on the perks, but just some membership perks, sneak peeks, and the like.
	Waking Life is amazing.
	Is Waking Life the one that was the animation that was done in the same style as...
	You do awesome work, Viva.
	Glad to support you guys through Locals as well.
	God bless Dustin Van Pelt.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	Angry skeleton corn man.
	That's why I bought a Faraday bag for my cell years ago.
	When it's not in use, it perma-lives in their shut-off.
	It dries everywhere I know.
	It drives everyone I know crazy.
	But that's what a landline is for.
	I trust landlines more.
	What's a Faraday bag?
	Am I totally naive for not knowing that?
	David Langford says, I have a little iPad and Viva did not cut out.
	No, I think I've been good this time.
	I see Ponton in the house, sir.
	Viva.
	The first mistake people make about mind control is believing it's physically applied condition.
	99% of the time, it's done through subverting belief systems.
	The second is thinking they are immune.
	Yeah, I'm not using...
	You know, growing up, my dad always said...
	He's still alive.
	When I quote my grandmother, she's no longer alive.
	My dad's still alive.
	He says, you know, society can be whipped up into a frenzy very easily.
	And we've seen quite...
	I mean, it's not quite that easily, but we see how quickly it happens, how efficiently it happens.
	And, man, you know, it's like being under the influence of an intoxicant when you don't even know that you're under the influence of it.
	Like, it's like losing all of your ego, except you're losing all of your, you're using all of your critical thought.
	You don't even know that you're whipped up into this frenzy.
	You think it makes sense to cross the street to avoid passing someone on the streets.
	You think it makes sense to be outside, you know, gardening with a face mask, alone.
	And you just, it's like, it's like you're under the influence of a drug and you do not know that you're under the influence of the drug and everything just...
	You do not appreciate that you've lost touch with reality.
	Maybe it took a year.
	It happened quickly for a lot of people.
	And how do you get them out of it?
	My goodness.
	Only time can heal certain wounds.
	Okay, cool.
	Interesting.
	I didn't know that.
	Death of logic.
	Let's see.
	Did Macron win the election fair and square?
	I mean, I don't know.
	Are we allowed talking about foreign elections?
	I would venture to say...
	I know people were questioning the results in Canada.
	And I didn't.
	And people didn't like that I didn't.
	People said, Viva, you saw what happened in the States.
	You have to be skeptical and cynical of what happened in Canada.
	No.
	First of all, Canada is paper-based.
	I saw what went into the election system.
	You have to show ID.
	They've got to borrow your name off at the entrance.
	Two IDs.
	And proof of domicile.
	You borrow your name off at the entrance.
	They borrow your name off when you fill out the form.
	And it's paper.
	You know, the problem is...
	It's like...
	The guy who does the magic tricks, David Blaine.
	When he was trying to do the trick about staying underwater for more than 20 minutes.
	World record underwater.
	At first, he was thinking of injecting oxygen needles into his body, injecting oxygen-enriched blood.
	At some point, it's easier just to do it.
	In Canada, don't need to worry about any of these election issues.
	Just control the media.
	Control the narrative.
	Suppress the voice and the reach of your adversaries.
	You don't need to go and play stupid games.
	You can just do it from the ground up.
	Please do not listen to any naysayers about Viva for PM.
	You are light.
	Bring Canada and Canadians out of the darkness because you are so awake.
	Star.
	Emojis.
	What was the song by Tom McDonald?
	One million flame emojis.
	Now you know you're Viva for PM.
	Thank you very much, Lisa.
	When will Canada apologize for 1812 DC damage?
	Don't give Trudeau any ideas, man.
	There is nothing that Trudeau will not apologize for as he continues to commit.
	He'll apologize for the wrongs of government's past while committing his own atrocities in real time.
	He looks benevolent while abusing you.
	I hear a kid screaming his head off.
	Barb Justice.
	I like it.
	Justice.
	I saw a lot of super chats come through here.
	No Toe Tuesday.
	No, no, we can't do that.
	One day, we'll see.
	Okay, fair enough.
	But look, the reality is people voted for Trudeau.
	I saw people vote for Trudeau.
	They told me in my district.
	They voted for Trudeau because some of them are, they don't even realize that they're under the influence of fake news.
	They still think Maxime Bernier is a racist.
	And they're so, they think I'm an anti-Semite for running with the PPC.
	I know there can be some self-hating Jews out there, but that's how engrossed in their own delusion they are.
	They don't even understand that they're in it.
	Try to tell someone that, they don't necessarily respond well, and I'm not necessarily the one to weigh my words when I do it.
	A Faraday bag blocks radio waves.
	Think of it as analog phone blocker.
	What's an analog phone?
	I'm joking.
	No rogue signal.
	It works very well for me anyway.
	Very cool.
	But I also know, like, too much temptation to have your phone in the room while you're sleeping.
	It should be somewhere else, trying to impute that.
	I try to impart that on my children, but then they see that my screen time is like eight and a half hours on my phone a day, and they don't understand it's for work.
	They don't, it's for...
	Yeah, but what is that in there?
	Okay, look, I'm just telling you.
	I don't believe that there was that type of chicanery in the Canadian election system.
	The chicanery in the Canadian election system was manipulating the polls to get the result that you needed to make sure that Maxime Bernier did not get to attend the federal leaders' debates.
	That's the chicanery.
	The chicanery that I saw is fake news on daytime radio.
	It is the CBC doing the least they can possibly do to say...
	At least we gave them a voice.
	Doing an interview with me and then not putting that interview on the website so that I could share it with my million-plus aggregate across all platform of people who listen to what I have to say.
	That's how they do it.
	Control the news.
	I went door-to-door and hung up posters all over the city, worked one person at a time to get them to listen and to go out and vote.
	CBC just gets them all at once.
	What's the word I'm looking for?
	Platonically.
	Thank you very much, by the way.
	It's...
	So that's it.
	I mean, it's like...
	I don't think they needed to get into that level of chicanery in Canada.
	I don't...
	You know, I think paper-based is obviously the better system.
	Okay, I'm going to look...
	Hold on, I think I screenshot this for...
	Do I want to read this?
	Yeah, so I think I know where you're getting with this, but I'm not going to mention it out loud because...
	Okay, so some chats that I...
	Oh, I can bring this one up.
	It's creative.
	Let me see here.
	I think I saw a chat a little higher up.
	Let me just make sure that my...
	6.50 might be time to go have dinner with the children.
	Dinner time, question mark?
	Yes, now Siri knows.
	Siri knows what I'm doing.
	Okay, we got that.
	Okay, so that's good.
	Hold on one second.
	I'm going to go down here.
	Tomorrow, more Johnny Depp.
	I've seen enough now.
	The only time I'm going to live stream, I think, Amber Heard's testimony.
	Testimony is the word I'm looking for.
	I want to see how that goes down.
	That's going to be...
	That's going to be interesting to watch.
	Okay, let's just go back to the diary.
	The diary, the Viva diary.
	So what did we get?
	No, click on my face here.
	Pin, tweet, fine.
	Trudeau we saw.
	Okay, tongue-in-cheek jokes.
	Jug meat.
	Why don't we talk about this for one second?
	Do you see how they're touting?
	This will be a good one to end on.
	If you are not familiar with Parkinson's Law of Mundanity...
	Or a number of Parkinson's laws, and it's not Parkinson's disease, and I don't think there's any connection.
	I should look that up.
	Parkinson was an economist, a theorist, and he came up with a few good principles.
	Parkinson's law of mundanity.
	And for anybody who's worked in a big corporation, you'll know what I'm talking about.
	For anyone who's tried to plan a high school party, you're going to know what I'm talking about.
	People can spend...
	Hours discussing the most innocuous details of a plan, and they will gloss over the most complex, complicated aspects of a plan because everybody has an opinion on the easy stuff, and nobody wants to discuss the hard stuff.
	Useful logic.
	I love the Super Chats, but don't feel compelled to do this to promote your message, but thank you very much.
	I want to feel good about the Super Chats and not feel that people feel that...
	Thank you very much.
	You don't need to do it again, but thank you for the support.
	People will spend...
	It's the water cooler.
	You'll talk about where to put the water cooler in an office.
	Put it by the bathroom so that people can use it and then go to the bathroom.
	Don't put it by the bathroom because people come out of the bathroom with dirty hands and then they're going to go top the thing on the water.
	It's going to be gross.
	Put it by the big boardroom.
	No, the sunlight's going to heat up the water.
	You can argue about that for hours.
	Everyone's going to have an opinion because it's something that's simple and straightforward enough for everyone to have a hard opinion on.
	Talk about restructuring.
	Nobody's going to...
	Okay, fine.
	We'll talk about that later.
	Because the complicated stuff is hard to solve.
	And nobody wants to look stupid, so people are not going to venture to have opinions on it.
	There's another one, Parkinson's Law.
	The bottom line is, fix the easy stuff.
	Make hay of the easy stuff because it's easy to fix.
	Ignore the complicated stuff.
	Here's Jagmeet Singh who's now decided.
	His, what is it now?
	The soup of the day is dental care.
	So long dental plan.
	Lisa needs braces.
	Dental care.
	That's his focus right now.
	Children are suffering psychological harm from two and a half years of abusive governmental policy.
	They are having issues with drugs.
	They're having issues with harmful ideations.
	But Jagmeet Singh's thing right now, it's dental care.
	Because it's...
	Simple.
	It's easy.
	It fits into a tweet.
	And the ultimate irony of a government that had to lock down its population because of the healthcare system that it has been in charge of for decades, universal healthcare, it's such a dilapidated, understaffed, you know, it's in such disarray that the solution to the issues caused by the RONA were to lock people in their homes, shut down businesses.
	So that you wouldn't overflow an already strained healthcare system.
	So the government that has been in charge of and utterly failed to the point where their solution is to strip citizens of their rights to compensate for their own incompetence.
	Well, they want to have a kick at the can at dental care now because they've done so well with universal care, universal healthcare, the healthcare system.
	Let's go for dental care.
	I've heard from so many people who suffer because they can't afford a dentist.
	It has impacted their entire well-being.
	That's why the NDP used our power to secure dental care for Canadians and will fight until every Canadian is covered head to toe.
	Can you imagine this is from the guy that supports the guy that implements mandatory 14-day quarantine if you happen to be an unvaccinated traveling 12-year-old?
	Don't talk about that!
	Dental plan, I mean, it's like, it's the Simpsons in real life.
	And I just, you know, two weeks to flatten the curve so as not to overwhelm our healthcare system.
	Yeah, now they want their go at destroying dental care.
	Oh, yeah.
	Government, oh, did I say it here?
	Oh, yeah, there we go.
	Government is the only institution that gives itself a raise with each failure.
	Okay.
	Oh, this is worth sharing.
	The moment Alita...
	The next one is the one, people.
	Hold on.
	You're going to miss it.
	Let's do it.
	Oh, my gosh.
	This is crazy, guys.
	Emily sent us.
	Now the next one is the one.
	Oh!
	We're almost there.
	Put your phone down, Viva.
	Put your phone down.
	I put my phone down.
	Boom.
	Happy New Year.
	Fantastic.
	Anyhow, great stuff.
	Some interesting testimony from the expert today.
	So that's it.
	People, this has been wonderful.
	This has been...
	I hope it's been insightful.
	I hope it has not been enraging.
	The point of this is not to get enraged.
	It's to get politically motivated to make a change.
	You have to know.
	You have to, it's like Neo coming out of the Matrix.
	You have to know what is reality as difficult as it is to swallow.
	My girlfriend dislikes Jagmeet more than Justin.
	Man, it's a tough call between the two of them.
	I don't know, man.
	I don't know.
	Hold on.
	There's a way to find out.
	There's a way to find out.
	Going to go to details.
	Going to go to the stream and we're going to end with this.
	We're going to end with a poll.
	Who is worse?
	Justin Trudeau.
	Jagmeet Singh.
	Add another option.
	It's a tie.
	Just show results.
	Just in case anybody doesn't want to partake in this, ask your community.
	Let's see.
	I haven't backed up my computer for 576 days.
	That's because I do it my own way.
	Okay.
	Let's see.
	Let's see.
	The poll is there, people.
	Before you leave, give a thumbs up, drop a comment, answer the poll.
	What happened yesterday in Quebec with 12-year-old children, parents, and the government law changes?
	Lisa, go check it out.
	I did a vlog on it on Sunday.
	A car vlog.
	Bill 15 passed, which strips parents of parental supremacy as relates to the application of the Youth Protection Act.
	And there's concerns as to how this might be applied or misapplied.
	Because as of now, parental supremacy has been stripped as the, I guess, the ultimate consideration.
	And now it's the interests of the child.
	Above all else, there's no longer any parental supremacy.
	And the obvious question is, who's going to decide what's in the best interest of the child, if not the parents, if not law-abiding parents?
	And so that's, you know...
	Go check out the vlog.
	I put it up Saturday.
	And it's...
	I think it's on point.
	Okay, let's see here.
	People with superiority complexes should not be allowed in government.
	Azar, you know, the problem is...
	It's, by and large, people with superiority complexes that seek government from municipal to federal.
	That's the problem.
	Okay, let me see here.
	We got in the chat.
	So that is it.
	This is fun, people.
	I think we're going to be live, maybe not at some point tomorrow.
	I had something in the morning.
	What did I have in the morning tomorrow?
	My God, I'm actually losing my mind.
	But tomorrow night, tomorrow night.
	We're going to have Ariadne Jacob up for the sidebar.
	Ariadne Jacob is suing the New York Times.
	I'm going to go refresh my memory on the lawsuit.
	It merges perfectly with Taylor Lorenz, who's been in the news for reasons.
	So tomorrow night's sidebar is going to be wickedly entertaining.
	I'm going to share some links around so that people can get familiar with what's going on.
	Word of the day.
	Menticide.
	Thank you, Viva.
	Barb, Ariane, thank you very much.
	Poop emojis with peanuts?
	Hold on.
	Yeah, those are peanuts.
	I couldn't tell if it was peanuts or a butternut squash.
	Menticide.
	I like it.
	Before you run, regardless of what you mean, Mr. Mark said, JFK, the smoking gun, is worth a watch.
	Take away from it what you will.
	As is the case with everything.
	You don't have to agree with what you watch.
	You don't even have to like it.
	But you will learn from everything if you view it properly.
	Too late!
	Too late!
	What was the song by Tom McDonald?
	Flame emojis.
	It's a great song.
	Alright, I'm going to go enjoy it.
	You know what I'm going to enjoy?
	I'm going to enjoy my evening relaxation.
	My bad habit.
	My...
	Sniff to report at Christmas.
	I'm going to go and sit down.
	We're going to probably have a conversation with the kids or try to talk, but I think we're going to end up watching Ridiculousness.
	My other vice, I love Ridiculousness.
	I've been on it.
	Video clips of mine have been on Ridiculousness three times, and I'm waiting for the time when I'm watching it, and it just happens naturally.
	Okay, Winston.
	I didn't bring him down.
	I didn't bring him down, Winston, today.
	Viva Untold Stories kept me from this with Barnes.
	Don't...
	Oh, shoot.
	I overlapped with them.
	Now I'm going to go obsess over this and hope that they're not angry with me.
	I did not...
	I absolutely forgot that they were live at 5.30.
	And I waited until 5 because I didn't want to...
	It's impossible not to overlap.
	Anyhow, go...
	So, in order to make my guilty conscience feel better, go check out America's Untold Stories with Eric Hanley, Mark Gobert.
	Subscribe to them.
	And when you go, leave a comment that says Viva Santu so that I can feel less guilty about having overlapped with them.
	There's not enough time in the day.
	Tomorrow night's sidebar is going to be awesome.
	Thursday, stick around.
	I'm going to go to Ottawa, I think.
	I will not be live streaming or doing anything from the courtroom if I actually do get down there, but I will live stream before and live stream on the way back so that I can talk about it.
	That's it, people.
	Go.
	Enjoy the evening.
	Get some fresh air if it's still time yet.
	Hold on.
	I got to close that.
	No backup.
	Got it.
	Oh, you know, one last one before we go on.
	I'm going to go make sure that I didn't forget anything on Rumble.
	If there's any Rumble rants.
	Oh, look at that.
	We're front screen on Rumble with that.
	Look at that.
	That is...
	Come on, focus on it.
	Nah, whatever.
	That's what's going on on Rumble.
	So I didn't miss any Rumble rants.
	I'll go check out the chat there.
	People, thank you all.
	Go.
	Enjoy the night.
	Say hi to someone.
	Have a conversation with someone in real life.
	Fresh air.
	Exercise.
	Sunlight.
	And see you tomorrow.
