Time Text
So we've got the fish.
Now we just need the lightning.
Where is it?
Where is it?
I think I just saw it down there.
Oh, oh, oh.
Keep reeling.
Tip up, tip up, tip up.
There you go.
Okay.
Keep reeling.
Keep reeling.
Okay.
Keep reeling.
Keep reeling.
How does it feel?
Oh, it's right there.
Okay.
Let's see what kind of fish it is.
Wait.
If it's taking drag, let it take drag.
Okay.
Lift up your tip.
Lift up your tip a little bit.
There you go.
Don't, don't crank it.
Okay.
Very nice.
I want to see the fish.
Oh my goodness!
Oh my goodness.
I might have to take this back.
Okay.
Okay.
Here, quickly.
It's starting to rain.
Take the camera.
Take the camera.
Take the camera quickly.
It's starting to rain.
It's starting to rain.
Hold it steady.
Hold it steady.
Are we going to eat this?
Holy cow.
Are we going to eat this?
The fish just woke up and looked through the cabbage and he got it in there.
Yo!
Yo, that must be a big fish.
Are we going to eat that thing?
We can release it, we'll release it.
We can't release it.
And it's starting to rain.
Okay, okay, we're bringing it to the ocean.
We don't have a net.
We're ready yet.
It's me.
It's me.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
Okay, go get, go.
Yeah, put the phone down.
Ethan.
Where's my head?
Okay, your head is here now.
We are...
Currently live, people.
Ethan?
What?
What kind of fish was that?
A bass?
No, it wasn't a bass, sir.
Was it a megalodon?
It was not a megalodon.
It was a pike.
Was it the most delicious pike I've ever cooked?
Yeah.
Okay.
How was that catching the fish?
Good.
Okay.
Now, what do you have in your hand?
Oh, I have a Megalodon tooth.
Okay, we have a Megalodon tooth.
That's why I said Megalodon.
And he said, why is this Megalodon tooth not sharp?
And I said, this tooth is 75 million years old and it's still pretty darn sharp right there.
I figured instead of introducing tonight's live stream, which is the eve of my...
The last day of my 42nd year on this earth and the eve of my...
the first day of my 43rd year on this earth.
What are you doing?
I figured instead of starting with the video that I wanted to start with, we're gonna start with something happy.
How was that?
How was that?
Good.
Okay, now you take the Megadon's tooth upstairs and go help mom.
Okay.
Okay, good.
People, go.
Get out of here.
That was...
Okay, hold on.
I just took a shower and I put some oils in my hair, so it's a little...
Go.
Close the door behind you.
We caught a pike yesterday.
That was on Viva Family.
I would have otherwise returned the pike to its natural environment, but the thing...
They inhale the lure and it goes down into their gullet and there's...
I don't know.
I didn't have a glove.
I took my kid's shirt off to try to hold it and then once a fish starts bleeding from the gill, it's done.
Mortally wounded.
Eat it.
And I made...
It was the best fish that I've ever made.
And I finally figured out how to fillet a pike.
He's back.
He's got the dog.
Okay, bring it over here.
I finally figured out how to fillet a pike.
I watched a video on the YouTubes.
What do you have to say, Winston?
Yes.
I watched a video on the YouTubes and I figured out how to fillet a pike.
Okay, hold on.
I'm going to go close the door.
One second.
Closing the door because whether or not the kid is upstairs.
I was going to start with this video, but I don't want my kid seeing this until it's absolutely necessary.
This is the video that I would have started off with, but we'll start with white pill before we get to red pill.
Bordery!
Hang on.
Black pill suppository.
Or if they have it the way they want, it'll be a black pill oral that the government will know you took because it's going to have a little microchip in it that once it gets into your body will notify the government that you've taken your medicine.
Literally.
Sorry to make this scream.
Literally.
You know, once upon a time, I think the AJs of this world, Alex Jones, would have been...
Would have been called conspiracy theorists for even suggesting this.
Play, play, play.
It is basically a biological chip that it is in the tablet.
And once you take the tablet and dissolves into your stomach, it sends a signal that you took the tablet.
So imagine the applications of that.
Compliance.
The insurance companies to know that the medicines that patients should...
They do take them.
It is fascinating what happens in this field.
It is basically biological.
I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this.
This is the new face of evil.
I mean, this is the face of evil.
I'm going to play it again and just pause it on a few statements, which are, first of all, body language.
Maybe I'm projecting.
This is Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer.
The same guy who said things which I can't repeat on this channel because YouTube might consider it to be medical misinformation.
So this man has said things which I'm not at the liberty to even repeat verbatim.
I don't think.
But maybe I am.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm exaggerating there.
Listen to what he...
My impression is that his body language is that of someone who knows that he's saying something grossly offensive.
Morally, ethically, those are the same thing.
Spiritually, constitutionally, objectionable.
The way he rubs his nose at the end.
But listen to what he's saying.
It's a seed.
It's not a microchip.
It's a seed.
It's not something that's designed to track your behavior.
It's something that's going to blossom into something beautiful.
A new era of compliance.
That it is in the tablet.
And once you take the tablet and dissolves into your stomach, sends a signal that you took the tablet.
So imagine the applications of that compliance.
The insurance companies to know that the medicines that patients should take, they...
Imagine the applications of that.
The compliance.
It's not for the government, stupid.
And if you think that, you're a conspiracy.
It's for the insurance companies.
As if that's even remotely better.
That they can know.
If you're taking the medicines that you are required to take, it's not for the government.
It's not for international travel.
It's not for biometric measure.
It's none of that.
It's not for the government.
Silly dilly.
Don't worry.
It's for insurance.
Imagine the compliance.
Imagine how if you can't escape Big Brother, Big Brother knows everything, yeah, you'll get compliance.
Listen to this though.
Hold on, where is it?
Do take them.
It is fascinating what happens in this field.
It is basically biological.
It is fascinating what happens in this field.
It's fascinating what happens when every one of your last liberties are taken from you and the government says, well, I don't know what accent that is anymore.
I know he's Greek, of Greek origin or Greek.
Imagine the compliance.
It's nuts.
Okay, I missed some superchats.
Let me just start off with the superchats.
Andrei Tuchulescu, how was the storm today?
Glorious.
Last night, storm was glorious.
Not so glorious for the people up in the Laurentians who 100,000 people in Quebec out of power.
For those who don't know, in Quebec, we had massive, massive storms.
I think they might have been like tornado-ish.
100,000 plus people out of power.
Trees upended everything.
But still, there's some beauty of lying in bed in the middle of the night and seeing the flash of lightning followed by the gentle rumble of thunder.
What brand of speaker is over your shoulder?
Okay.
Oh, no, that's the mic.
That's not a speaker.
That's some old cabinet for movies.
And it's freaking scary how often AJ is right.
No comment.
First things first, standard disclaimers.
YouTube takes 30% of these things called Super Chats, which are these wonderful ways of supporting a YouTube creator channel if you so choose.
Viva, put your shirt on in your videos.
You're making the rest of us look bad.
I took this shirt off for another reason.
I don't ordinarily post topless videos on the internet, but I didn't have my shirt on and I just wanted to see lightning.
And I didn't want to use my shirt to grab the pike in the mouth because the pike have teeth.
They tear things up.
YouTube takes 30% to Super Chats.
If you don't like that, we are simultaneously streaming on Rumble.
Let me just make sure that we, in fact, are.
Rumble has the equivalent of Super Chats called Rumble Rants.
And Rumble takes 20%.
We are live on Rumble.
Booyah.
And we got a Rumble Rant from Jenny C. Happy 43rd birthday tomorrow, Viva.
Thank you for what you do from North Carolina.
That is the other thing that's going on.
It's my birthday tomorrow.
But more important than that, if you were to move to the U.S., which state would you choose?
Florida.
There I said it.
Good fishing there, man.
Oh, and I have dreams.
I have dreams of starting or revamping a second channel.
Fishing the keys.
Not fishing the keys.
Fishing Florida or exploring all of these...
Unknown, hidden, beautiful gems in Florida.
There are so many...
Thank you.
Okay, thank you, thank you.
Tomorrow's the birthday.
But this was one of the other announcements tonight.
Before we get into the meat of the evening, the merch site, I believe, is now launched.
People, let me see if we're seeing the same thing.
Now, I'm going to get a picture of Barnes and me up there.
I want it to be a picture of us in person together that's not grossly outdated.
The merch store is now officially up and running.
This was put up by a company called GetPressed.ca.
Mario, I think, is the president of the company.
And it's freaking beautiful.
It's amazing.
It's an all-in-one now.
This is where it is.
It's no more Represent and Teesprings.
I'm going to shut those down.
All in one, vivafry.com.
It's going to integrate all of the videos, all of the, you know, some stuff to get, what do they call it?
SEO optimization to get people to the website.
And the merch, people, is here now.
Shirts.
Look at that.
Beautiful.
That's the one I'm wearing right now.
And full disclosure, they sent me this one to show me what the merch would look like.
I did not purchase it as I did off represent.
Hats.
Okay.
Who, what, when, where, why?
Viva Barnes.
Now, it's not all mine either.
We're going to get...
Where's the Barnes one?
Where's the Barnes...
The Viva Barnes U store.
I think it should all be here.
Okay, there.
Yeah, there, there, there.
Okay, well, there is...
No, the vlog.
Okay.
Oh, there you go.
Look, we got the Viva Barnes University.
Warning, not a real university.
And we're going to have more.
We're going to get Viva Barnes hat.
We're going to get all of the Barnes stuff, Three Eternal Truths, Honest Barnes with the Abe Lincoln thing, and it's up there now.
So that is it.
We'll see if we crash this website with traffic, but it's there now.
It's there and all in one, fully integrated, in as much as possible, local, and even when it's not local, you know, not from countries that we don't want to support.
Getting a haircut for your 43rd birthday?
Absolutely not.
I'm growing this.
I'm growing this.
Oh, yeah.
On the menu for tonight, people, let me bring up one more super chat that I think I missed, or two.
Okay, look at this.
Happy not your actual birthday, Viva.
Tomorrow?
Oh, as of, you know, five more hours until the birthday.
Read Behold a Pale Horse.
Happy birthday.
Okay, we'll have to see if it's on...
Oh, hurricanes.
Hurricanes make for good content.
I'm not saying that as cynically, like, you know.
You're trading one thing for another.
There's hurricanes.
I am so sad for Viva.
It seems like he is suffering from Tim Pool syndrome.
I hope he can pull it together and get back to being the way he was a year ago instead of being a whiner now.
Screenshot.
I genuinely don't know what you mean, Troy S., and I don't think I do much whining.
I try not to.
Okay.
But everyone is entitled to their opinions.
All right, and I see Barnes in the house.
All right.
Hold on one second.
Viva become a Florida man.
By the way, I'll never stop complaining about the grotesque governments under which we live.
When they become not grotesque, I'll stop complaining.
Unless you mean complaining about Albert Bourla talking about humans taking a pill that notifies insurance once you've taken the pill and will ensure maximum compliance.
Okay, we've got a lot to talk about.
Johnny Depp, even though some of you don't want to hear about it.
Barnes with good, good, 1,000%.
It's coming up today, tomorrow, ASAP.
Johnny Depp, even though I know some people don't want to talk about it.
Michael Sussman, because I know everyone wants to talk about it.
Elon Musk, elongate, because everyone has to talk about what's going on.
Par for the course.
You say you're voting Republican if you've been a lifelong Democrat.
Democrat.
Democrat.
Boom.
Misconduct orders.
And then...
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I just saw something here.
Okay, and don't fight.
Just so everybody also knows, the misunderstanding I had with Michelle on Twitter yesterday, all resolved, resolved, I mean, in an inspired, I'm telling you, in a way that made me feel better, because I didn't like her getting brigade, not brigade, I didn't like people, you know, even though it's Twitter, I didn't like people saying the things they were saying about her, you know, what's in her profile.
I didn't like the misunderstanding.
I don't like the fights, and I'm happy it ended properly, and we DMed each other, and it's magnificent, and it's beautiful, and all conflicts should end that way.
Okay, without further ado, people, we've got a lot on the menu.
I'm going to bring in the barns.
Robert, how goes the battle, sir?
Good, good.
Now let me see if the audio is good for everybody.
People, Robert, give us, well, while you tell us what's over your left shoulder and what is twirling your fingers, we'll see if the audio is good.
Sure.
So, Ancient Gonzo Wisdom.
It's a bunch of quotes and stories and interviews of the one and only Hunter Thompson, of whom Johnny Depp was such a fan, he ended up, he's still talking like Hunter in part today, as people figured out in his answers on the stand, that he borrowed a lot from his affection for Hunter Thompson.
And then this cigar, I'm not sure which brand it is, to be honest with you.
Robert, you do smoke the cigars after, right?
Like, you smoke them in general.
I do smoke cigars.
I take Mark Twain.
He said that 10 cigars a day was the key to his good health.
So I'll trust him and George Burns.
I want to ask you, like, some of the cigars, they do cost, like, a fair bit of money, right?
Do you ever feel guilty that you're, in a sense, literally...
Like rolling up some bills and setting it on fire?
No, not at all.
What good is virtue without vice?
Perfect.
Robert, okay.
Is there any news?
How old are you going to be?
I think it's your birthday in Australia.
This is true.
Technically in Australia, I have turned 43. Thank you very much.
43, Robert.
I was sitting there with my wife today.
I was like, I'm still 20. I'm still 16. I don't feel like a geezer when I look at myself in the mirror, but I'm not far off from understanding what that feels like.
Once the body starts falling apart, then I'll say, what am I looking at in the mirror?
But for now, still good.
I got on the treadmill and exercised a bit.
Robert, what's the latest out of Ukraine?
Is there anything newsworthy that I haven't been following necessarily?
Not really on the legal side so much.
Italy proposed some peace terms today, and so we'll see if those get circulated.
I will be on with the Duran live Tuesday at 1 p.m. Eastern Time.
To discuss everything related to Ukraine, international affairs.
Looks like we're going back into Somalia, Black Hawk Down Part 2, Ethiopia, some other parts, China, maybe Taiwan becomes an issue.
So all of those foreign policy issues will be discussed with Adrian on Tuesday, but nothing that's specific legally in the news this past week.
What about the two, who is it, Finland and Sweden, who now are going to make a bid for NATO membership?
Justin Trudeau of Canada obviously says, yes, we like it.
Turkey says, no, we don't want it.
What's, I mean, for an income people like myself, why would anyone, first of all, what would they want to join NATO for?
And why would certain existing NATO members not want new members or certain members or potential members to join?
So NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, generally operates by consensus.
So if anybody opposes anybody joining, that probably means they won't be able to join.
So right now it looks like Finland and Sweden won't be able to join NATO.
That Turkey and Croatia appear to be blocking it for their own reasons.
Turkey has some opposition.
Turkey has ongoing disputes with Greece.
With various parts of the Middle East because they don't favor any Kurdistan developing, whether that's in northern Iraq or northern Syria or elsewhere.
And then they have their own, you know, Erdogan does his own thing.
He operates independently.
He blames some people for what he thinks was an attempted coup in 2016.
They have their own issues with their currency and the lira.
He tries to play in between Europe and Russia and tries not to get on the bad side of either.
But they're demanding that one of the parliamentary members, either in Sweden or Finland, that they give them up for extradition for criminal prosecution in Turkey over some political issue.
Clearly, that's never going to happen.
So really what they're doing is poison-pilling it.
And it looks like all the – and they just came up with a good viable pretext to do so.
Probably helps their reliance or relations with Russia.
I don't think, at this point, Sweden or Finland are going to be joining NATO anytime soon.
Croatia has its own reasons relating to the Baltics and relating to who would or would not be in NATO.
So obviously, not the Baltics, the Balkans.
I constantly mispronounce those or get those two flipped.
But the Balkans is the source of many conflicts, World War I being one of them.
So it doesn't look like that Sweden and Finland will be joining anytime soon.
That will turn out to be much ado over nothing.
Is what it looks like to me, unless there's something I've missed.
But NATO historically operates, and legally by the agreement, operates by consensus.
And so they chose to do that.
That's their call, and now they're kind of stuck with it.
There's talk of trying to kick out Turkey.
That would be counterproductive for NATO's interest.
I don't see that happening anytime soon, given Turkey's very important geopolitical significance, including access to the Black Sea.
So that's...
That's the only sort of legal side of the equation that I saw.
But we'll be on with the Duran on Tuesday to break it all down, 1 p.m. Eastern Time Live.
And again, for all the trolls out there, if you want to troll, you've got to pay the toll.
So you can pay a live chat and tell me why I'm wrong.
Say whatever you want.
And by the way, the last time, I think it was the last time you were on with the Duran, I mean, a barn burner is not the way to describe it.
It was, you left both Alex's speechless by the end of the episode, and they said, Possibly the best episode they've ever done.
So we'll leave the, what do you call it, real politic discussion to the Duran, Tuesday, 1 p.m. Eastern.
Robert, let's start with Twitter.
Before we go there, a natural bridge transition would be just a brief update on the World Health Organization treaty proposals.
And it's not much other than...
There's people still getting confused.
So there's a proposal for internal regulations.
Stephen Miller's organization, America First, wrote a protest letter to the Biden administration saying that the Biden administration should not even be proposing any kind of treaty, nor should they be even proposing internal rules within the World Health Organization that would give the World Health Organization governing power over any country or any nation anywhere in the name of pandemic authority.
Now, that is what the Biden administration is pushing.
Those internal rules are not enforceable in the United States until and unless it is passed by a treaty.
And that requires two-thirds consent by the Senate.
The Biden administration is going to be the World Health Organization.
Their assembly is meeting at the same time as the World Economic Forum is getting together in Davos this week.
So Savannah Hernandez and some other...
Rebel News has sent some good people over to...
Rebel sent five people down.
To cover what's going on in Davos.
But, Robert, I mean, it's not an accident.
I mean, they're talking that people are finding these 2021, you know, what's the word when you make...
Simulation?
Yeah, simulation of monkeypox.
Kind of like Bill Gates, late 2019, did a simulation about what would happen if a coronavirus came to America.
And voila, a few months later, there it was.
And apparently there was a simulation that was about monkeypox.
Some people are calling it moneypox.
Dr. Robert Malone did a good breakdown of it.
Oh, I just realized I'd changed my name.
That was from another interview.
Somebody else changed it for me.
At viva, barneslaw.locals.com.
I included a link to Robert Malone's article about that in terms of that.
But for everybody out there, there is no imminent treaty.
And there is no, World Health Organization passing these rules does not govern, does not become governing binding law in the United States, period.
It's got to at least pass as a treaty in the Senate, and even then there's limits on that.
That the degree to which, yes, a treaty is the supreme law of the land.
But not to the extent it governs other constitutional rights and remedies.
It can't trump those things.
That has to go through a whole constitutional amendment, not just the Senate approval.
So the only thing that could do is just change certain things that don't impact constitutional rights.
And even then, not law until it's two-thirds of the Senate agrees to it.
But who is down there now discussing what?
You got the who's down there discussing the what, but which representatives of nation states are there?
It's not just...
Oh, so a bunch of people have joined the World Health Organization, but it's kind of like the World Trade Organization.
So in 2020, Trump opted out, said, we're leaving the World Health Organization.
We passed a law in the late 1940s to join it.
But that was not a treaty.
It wasn't a treaty that passed.
So all it was was, we're entering it.
We'll continue to pay our dues.
If we decide to leave, we'll give you a year's notice in terms of dues.
Trump gave that notice.
Because of the election fornication that happened in November, Biden reversed that notice, and so we're still in it.
And they're looking for internal rules about how they govern themselves internally.
But that doesn't apply, it's not enforceable domestic law in the United States until there's a treaty passed.
And even then, they can't trump the Constitution.
That they have to amend the Constitution to do.
Yeah, but you're going to get a lot of people who are not going to be satisfied with this, and they're saying we're a member of the WHO.
Sure, it's non-binding, but they're down there discussing international treaties, which are not in effect yet.
Oh, it's something people should pay attention to.
I think the risk is that people will go out crying wolf and saying as soon as these rules change, oh, now there's a governing treaty that supersedes the Constitution.
When people discover that doesn't happen in the following, say, six months or a year.
Then when they come back and try to propose it in the treaty so that it would be governing domestic law, again, not trumping the Constitution, but governing domestic law, people will think that the criticism is invalid because they cried wolf the first time.
This is why it's important to be legally correct.
And there's a lot of people running ahead of the curve in terms of what's legally correct.
I get why they're concerned, legitimate concern, but it's important to know what the legal consequences are so that we're accurate in what we say.
Okay, but now, so I'll say that they'll pass this treaty if they pass it at the WHO members will pass this treaty.
It won't be binding on an individual member states.
Okay, fine.
But those states, just to pull up this chat, Libs NDP, they'll make it law here in Canada.
Now, they don't have to make the treaty law, but they'll just pass their own edicts, their own guidelines, which reflect, which mirror that which is in the treaty, and they'll cite the treaty having been passed as authority.
So that's...
Whether or not people's understanding is wrong, the treaty won't be binding.
It's six of...
Well, I guess it's six of one-way half a dozen.
It comes back to domestic...
It still has to go through domestic legislative and executive branch approval, at least in the United States.
Different countries have different rules.
Russia is talking about leaving it all together, which is interesting.
So the net effect of that Ukraine war, some of us predicted it was going to ultimately be a Russia-globalist conflict.
And we're seeing signs of that, not only in the financial and economic system, but in the political system.
And how many others leave?
What happens if China leaves?
What happens if Brazil leaves?
What happens if India leaves?
All of a sudden, the World Health Organization is just another EU organization.
And until they pass, again, a US treaty, they're not even enforceable in the United States.
And we still have to worry about...
The fact they're pushing it because it means they're going to try to push it here.
But people should not assume that whatever they do over in Davos or anywhere else has any binding effect on us until it comes back here.
Except we've seen in COVID, half of these edicts didn't go through the legislative process in any event.
So they're going to say, look, it's an emergency, it's a crisis.
Well, that's a good transition.
That happened in Louisiana.
And a pastor who continued to hold church after the governor of Louisiana said, no, you can't hold church because of a scary, scary pandemic.
But you can do a bunch of other things.
You can go to work.
You can go to the airport.
You can do a bunch of things.
But you just couldn't go to church.
Somehow that woke virus knew where to find you.
And so he was being criminally prosecuted for violating several executive orders about...
Holding church to the credit of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
They last week struck that, said you can't charge him with a crime, period.
Those executive orders violated his right.
First Amendment right of exercise of religion that is protected under both the federal and Louisiana constitutions.
They talked about the origin of power being the people and the government has limited power and the government was never granted or ceded the power, even in the name of a pandemic, to discriminate against churches or prohibit their exercise thereof.
And so that was a very good ruling, basically another ruling that's striking down these lockdowns such that...
It will be much harder for them to do this again next time in this context.
But next time, if you saw Bill Gates talking about monkeypox, I mean, the next time, they know what to do.
They know which countries are going to push back.
They know which governments are going to push back.
But even that, Robert, Louisiana, for it to have gotten to where it got to get overturned, it still made it up a few ways where it was ratified or the orders themselves were ratified and the...
The charges against him were sort of ratified?
I mean, this made it past one level of court, did it not?
Sort of.
It went through the executive branch.
So the governor signed it and the local prosecutors and police prosecuted him.
But the local court ultimately sent it up to the Supreme Court effectively before it ever got to any...
This wasn't a post-criminal conviction case.
This was a pre-criminal conviction case.
So he was facing actual criminal prosecution.
But this was another example where the legislative branch was never involved.
And so finally, the judicial branch meaningfully stepped in, and they made a ruling that's good for everybody in Louisiana and can be cited.
This is another ruling in that context in which it'll be much harder to pull off lockdowns in the future because people continue, credit to the pastor, continue to fight these kind of misuse and abuse of emergency powers in the first place.
Robert, now, Christy Leibel.
Says it's proposed amendments to an already existing International Health Resolution 2005 will not need Senate ratification.
That is false.
That is false.
I've seen a lot of people say it.
It's patently false.
And so some of the people that are saying it need it correct.
God bless them.
But I'm a little bit running out of patience because they're misleading people.
An International Health Resolution is not governing and doesn't govern the United States.
We cannot change the Constitution except by amending it, folks.
The World Health Organization can't change it.
Nobody else can change it.
Those international health rules were never even passed by Congress.
The only thing Congress has ever passed is agreeing to join the World Health Organization, which was not even a treaty.
And that was just about paying some dues.
That's it.
It has no legally binding effect.
Whatever the World Health Organization does has no legally binding effect on the United States, period.
The fact that they're amending, it doesn't matter what they're amending.
They cannot change American law.
They never could.
They never will.
And the risk here is that people are going to sound like they're crying wolf because it was a lot of the complaints early on brought against the United Nations.
And there were a lot of legitimate concerns, but some conservatives overstated their case.
And consequently, it undermined when people brought criticism of things like NAFTA and China joining the World Trade or other things down the road.
About joining the International Criminal Court and the risk that could pose.
A lot of those criticisms weren't taken as valid as they would have been because conservatives overstated their case about the United Nations.
They said the United Nations now could govern us and could send their police in.
No, they can't.
Just joining an organization doesn't override the Constitution of the United States.
So yes, these are amendment to internal rules of the World Health Organization, and it's their 2005 rules that they're amending, or as is proposed by the Biden administration.
And it's the U.S. government pushing this that has no binding effect on the United States, period.
End of story.
Anybody who says otherwise is fake news.
Okay, I'm reading the Wikipedia in the backdrop, but I'm not going to bring it up right now.
Okay, so that's going to be the matter of fact on which some people might disagree.
Robert, how do you prove your position that even if it's an amendment to an already passed regulation, that it will have no impact, even if passed now?
Because it says, if people are reading from Wikipedia, and let me just share it actually.
Let's do this in real time.
Wikipedia.
And I believe I've got the right thing right here.
The International Health Regulations, first adopted by the WH World Health Assembly, 1969, last revised in 2005, are a legally binding instrument on the international law that aims for international collaboration to protect yada, yada, yada.
And that's false.
See, like, note how it's false by what they leave out.
It's legally binding on the World Health Organization.
It's not legally binding on the United States or its member organizations.
Notice they don't say that.
These are the legally binding rules within the WHO.
That does not apply to any member state.
So that's where there's been this deliberate attempt at misleading people.
Some people are innocently being misled, but some are deliberately, some of the institutional media is deliberately misleading people.
This is why there's been letters from people to their credit have been asking senators and other people.
This is clear in America's first letter.
They recognize that this is not legally binding, that they're protesting Biden even trying to do a treaty that could ever become legally binding.
But Senator Toomey, for example, wrote back a letter to one of our members and our board members at vivabarneslaw.locals.com explaining the same thing, that this is not, and all you need to know for this, folks, is it's just, it's the Constitution.
Can you amend the Constitution without going through the Constitution's process for amendment?
No, you can't.
Can you pass legislative branch power without it going through the legislative branch?
No, you can't.
Now, treaties have limited domestic impact as well.
Treaties can govern certain things in international relations, but their ability to, they can't override the constitutional protections.
So even it says treaty in the Constitution says the supreme law of the land, but that is within the context that it's not amending any right within the Constitution.
It can't do that unless it goes through an amendment process.
That's why people are right to be concerned about this effort to centralize and concentrate power in some globalist bureaucratic organization.
Absolutely right to be concerned.
It's not going to be legally binding on the United States.
And don't be deceived on that to such a degree that you go out saying something that's going to be disproven in three months or six months or a year.
And then all of a sudden, when there really is a concern, nobody listens to you because you were wrong last time because you didn't really review the law.
Just anybody out there, if the Constitution says you can't amend it that way, that means you can't amend it that way.
There's always risk that people violate the Constitution.
That's one of the counters I get.
Yeah, for example, yeah, Obama joined it.
Was that a binding treaty?
No, it wasn't.
Was that binding U.S. law?
No, it wasn't.
What did Trump do?
He just came in and said, nope, not interested.
End of it.
So how could Trump do that if that was binding law?
That was never binding law.
The Paris Accords were never binding law.
They were a commitment of the executive branch to try to do something.
Not legally binding, just a commitment, which they do all the time.
So that's where people are...
Confusing certain areas about what can change and what didn't.
As the SEC figured out this week and as the entire administrative state found out this week, their assumptions can be an error and the Fifth Circuit decision may be the beginning of a death nail to large aspects of the administrative state in America.
You might have to debrief me on that one, Robert.
I think I might have put my attentions on Sussman and Elon and some other stuff.
What's going on there?
So this case is bigger than the SEC because it's about the power of the administrative state entirely.
The administrative state is this unelected clerical bureaucracy run by professional class managerial bureaucrats, proposed really in its first inception by Woodrow Wilson.
And basically what it does is shifts power away from all democratic forms of control on our government, away from elected representatives, away from the elected president of the United States, and tries to avoid judicial review.
And basically, in fact, Wilson said, as is mentioned actually in the case, in a footnote, Wilson's goal was to gut the separation of powers.
It was to overturn what our Constitution established as a way to check power.
It's a great decision.
I posted a highlighted version of the decision up at Viva Barnes Law.
Dotlocals.com.
And what it provides, what the court determined, the Fifth Circuit determined, two to one split decision.
But what it determined was that what the SEC was doing is they were writing the rules, interpreting the rules, judging the rules, and enforcing the rules.
They were doing the whole thing.
And they were issuing civil fines.
They were seizing people's property.
They were limiting their potential liberty as a part of this action.
So the challenge was that they had no authority to do this.
That, first of all, that the Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution entitles anybody to a trial by jury in any case that could have been held at common law at the time of the founders.
Secondly, that Congress cannot delegate their legislative power, their discretionary, boundless power, to the executive branch to write its own rules or interpret or enforce its own rules.
And then third, You can't have a bunch of unelected bureaucrats be outside of the control of the elected president of the United States.
And that was the threefold challenge.
The Fifth Circuit agreed with him on all three.
It said the SEC court system violates the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial.
The fact that there was even a law that allowed there to be such a court system violated Congress's non-delegation doctrine.
Congress has to exercise legislative power, not anybody else.
And that the fact that these administrative law judges had four cause limitations on their removal at multiple levels meant that the president couldn't control them.
And that meant that the elected executive branch was deprived of their constitutional obligation and privilege and prerogative to enforce the laws and execute the laws.
And so they said on all three grounds, the SEC entire statutory schema and its implementation is unconstitutional.
So a bunch of the bureaucratic class left was going nuts on law Twitter.
They're like, this could mean the end of the administrative state.
Yes, I hope so.
So we'll see.
It may be the first step, but it is a big step in ending the administrative state's usurpation of executive power, usurpation of legislative powers, usurpation of judicial powers, all trying to create this unelected EU-style bureaucracy that would be immune from the entire democratic process and our constitutional constraints.
Look, I know of Chevron, which gave the power to the administrative body to interpret the rules that they implement.
