	We're focused on creating good, sustainable middle-class jobs now, net zero.
	At home, we're focused on creating good, sustainable middle-class jobs now and into the future.
	Canada has some of the best Most talented workers in the world.
	These are the people with the skills and expertise to power our shared net zero future.
	I think of the innovators who are launching clean hydrogen projects everywhere from Newfoundland to Alberta.
	These are the people who will produce the clean energy that Canada will ship to German markets as Europe accelerates its transition to renewables away from Russian oil and gas.
	I think of our autoworkers who are building elect vehicles in Ontario with battery batteries from nickel and lithium mined northern canada and the steel and the aluminum they're using also made in canada is the cleanest in the world because canada's electricity grid is already over 80 percent clean and on our way to 100
	I don't know what some of these words mean.
	Bunch of clapping seals in the audience.
	And that matters.
	Not just in the fight against climate change, but it matters because increasingly clients and customers are asking to know the impact of their products, of what they're sourcing.
	It is an imperative.
	It is a business advantage to be going cleaner and greener.
	That's what Canada We have to build a carbon-neutral future.
	It's at the core of our success.
	I just went and subscribed to Whitney Webb on All right, look, I don't really have much to say about that delusional individual, except a couple of things that we've talked about repeatedly on this channel.
	The hydro grid that we have is not clean if you live in certain parts of Canada.
	The flooding of the land to create hydro dams leads to mercury poisoning.
	Particularly indigenous populations that live off these areas.
	Flooding lands to create the hydro that you need for the electricity is not environmentally...
	Let me rephrase.
	It's not without environmental impact.
	The mining of the nickel...
	These things are not without environmental impact.
	The rare earth mineral that you need for the...
	It's environmentally friendly when it's in some South African or...
	African country.
	It's good for us.
	But we've talked about that nonsense.
	The green energy, it's only green depending on where you're looking at it from.
	But the idea that anybody is going to invest in Canada under the current regime...
	Until such time as any potential investor or anyone who wants to hold money in Canada can rest assured that the government cannot unilaterally, without court authorization, seize, freeze bank accounts.
	Justin Trudeau has set Canada back.
	I don't know how many years.
	But if anybody who has money is thinking of investing it in a foreign country, one of the things you look at, can we trust the government?
	Well, you can trust the government of Canada.
	If you're in line with the ideologies of the government of Canada, you can trust the government of Canada not to seize your bank accounts, try to cause you to forfeit insurance coverage, try to cause banks to liquidate holdings.
	You can trust the government not to do that if you remain ideologically and politically aligned with the government.
	This guy is sitting out there in front of the world, a world which, in large part, He thinks Trudeau is a joke to some and a risk and a danger to others.
	He's turned Canada economically into a third world country because anybody who has money and is thinking of investing it in Canada has to have their head examined.
	Until there is a time where there's legislation.
	I mean, I don't even know that you need legislation passed to let the government know it can't break the law.
	Justin Trudeau, now all he has to do, declare an emergency.
	And we can seize bank accounts just like that.
	Poof.
	And no due process, no constitutional rights, no going through the courts.
	We can authorize the banks to do it and immunize the banks for doing it.
	It's beautiful.
	So anyways, get your vomitus in right there.
	That was the intro just so we can, you know, let people trickle in and see what's going on in Canada.
	Just to give an update on the Emergencies Act inquiry.
	I am simultaneously streaming that.
	Pretty much all day, every day, until I have computer glitches at home.
	Not doing it so that I can spend 12 hours a day listening to people talk and then occasionally chiming in with some insightful observations.
	The Emergencies Act inquiry is now entering its second to last week.
	It started in October.
	You all know what's going on.
	It's day in and day out, and I mean day in and day out.
	It starts at 9.30 sharp.
	The breaks are tight.
	Lunchtime is tight, and it's been going until 6.30, 7 o 'clock, sometimes later.
	It is repetitive.
	I don't think there's been anything radically insightful or radically earth-shattering that we didn't already know, just more and more evidence of the same.
	The federal government abused of its right to invoke the Emergencies Act.
	The provinces did not want it.
	The provincial police did not need it.
	Justin Trudeau knew that the provinces did not need it because five days before invoking the Emergencies Act, he was telling Ford in Ontario, you have the resources you need to deal with this protest.
	Do it.
	It's more of the same of what we've already known from the beginning.
	So the idea of me sitting in front of a computer for 12 hours a day just so I can occasionally chime in and say, hey, here's more evidence of the same.
	Not doing it, but I'm running it as a separate simultaneous live stream.
	On the one hand, so people can find it more easily, because going to the public order emergency commission website to click on the link, it's not that easy to find it.
	It's boring as hell, and I'm actually quite impressed that there's over 1,200 people between YouTube and Rumble, but mostly on Rumble, watching this thing day in and day out.
	So that's it.
	That's the essence of why I'm running that simultaneous live stream.
	It's not so that I can sit there and commentate on it.
	I'll do that here.
	Public Order Emergency Commission, POEC is the hashtag, is more of the same of everything that we've already known from the beginning.
	It was an absolute abuse of government power, an absolute overreach.
	What we might have fleshed out through this hearing is the absolute state of incompetence between the various provincial authorities, RCMP, OPP, OPS, federal government, incompetence.
	Political infighting.
	Sensitivities among council people.
	It's a high school drama extended over six weeks.
	I just hope the Commissioner Rouleau gets it right.
	And that's going to be with a sternly worded recommendation that the government exceeded its constitutional authority, its jurisdictional authority to invoke the Emergencies Act.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Load of garbage.
	It's a load of garbage.
	Anybody who's been watching it knows this.
	I mean, just to show you.
	Just to show you what a load of garbage it is.
	Let me just get here.
	This is not mask-shaming, and there is no but to that.
	This is not mask-shaming.
	This is assessing people's thought process, risk assessment.
	First of all, everybody's got to go watch Stein 99. Where is it?
	I posted the picture.
	Where's the picture?
	There's a...
	The RCMP commissioner is testifying this morning, commissioner slowly, here we go, in a mask.
	We're in the month of November 2022.
	That's not slowly, so that's Lucky.
	That's RCMP commissioner Lucky, sitting next to an individual who's not masked, wearing a mask.
	Now, this is not about mask shaming.
	If, indeed, commissioner Lucky, Is immunocompromised or needs the mask for whatever the reason, it is entirely scientifically illogical that she would be in that room shoulder to shoulder with someone not wearing a mask.
	If she's that immunocompromised, she should probably be doing this virtually without a mask.
	Why?
	Because this is not a court hearing, but it's still an inquiry.
	It's still important to assess witness credibility, witness facial movements, whether or not they're being deceitful.
	Whether or not they're embarrassed.
	Whether or not they're being defiant.
	It's kind of important to see the faces of witnesses when they're testifying.
	And this is the RCMP commissioner wearing a mask two years into this during a public hearing on the invocation of the Emergencies Act.
	If she's that scared, she might want to choose another line of work.
	If she's that fearful or that immunocompromised...
	She should probably be in isolation.
	Take the mask off so that when testifying at perhaps the most important commission in the history of Canada, we can sort of see the face to know whether or not we are being swayed by the testimony.
	That and I will not...
	I will not make any scientific statements.
	Hold on.
	And the anti-Semites are out.
	Hold on.
	Where?
	I haven't even gotten to Charles Barkley in...
	And Dave Chappelle yet?
	Come on, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
	So, standard disclaimers, by the way.
	Here's a wonderful super chat from Master Mulrubius.
	Viva, I am in danger of getting blackpilled by all the red pilling I've been taking.
	How do you deal with the depressing news all of the time?
	Good question.
	I don't have an answer.
	I think I'm not the best person to talk about meditation and calming one's mind, but I am trying actively now to...
	Quell the negative thoughts.
	It's tough.
	You know what?
	Here's how I deal with it.
	I was jogging one day and I saw this bird.
	It was an egret.
	It was not.
	It was an egret.
	It wasn't a heron.
	Just sitting there.
	Immobile in the water.
	I know it's waiting for food.
	But I'm looking at this like, what a waste of time.
	What the hell is it doing?
	Just go fly around.
	Like, have fun.
	It's existence.
	It has no choice once it's in existence.
	That bird is in existence right now.
	It must do what it needs to do to survive, which is stand there totally immobile until a fish or a frog comes by and then release its neck with elastic power and eat that frog.
	We are in existence and we have no choice.
	So we have to continue to go through it, plow through it, and try to make a change, try to make the best of it, and try to awaken others.
	So that the more people know, the more they know.
	And the more they know, holy, sweet, merciful goodness, will they get outraged.
	And then from outrage, good outrage.
	What is it called?
	Righteous indignation.
	From that will come change.
	Thank you.
	I'm not reading some of those chats.
	Now, hold on.
	Before we even get into it, I see people saying...
	I see people saying...
	What about Barclay?
	We're going to get to Barclay.
	Pray a lot.
	I see people praying.
	If praying works, I mean, it would be great if praying works.
	I think praying does not summon any external forces.
	I think it builds up internal forces.
	So I think that the value of praying is in the act itself and inspiring and giving courage to the individual through the prayer.
	It's interesting.
	I follow Jack Posobiec.
	I follow Jenna Ellis on Twitter.
	The value in praying, I am now coming to understand, comes not from the hope that something external is going to come from the prayer, but giving the individual the internal courage they need to continue dealing with the madness.
	But before we get to any of the madness, you may have noticed, people.
	Hold on.
	I know that I put it there.
	Speaking of...
	We're going to get into some...
	Arguable fraud.
	We're going to go through the FTX business.
	It's a rabbit hole of epic proportions that I don't think people can possibly understand.
	And I'm but a noob scratching the surface.
	You may have noticed as we came into this stream, it said, contains paid promotion.
	Because it does.
	Because today's sponsor is none other than the air filter that I have currently running in the kitchen, EnviroCleanse.
	The website is ekpure.com, and if you use the promo code Viva, you'll get 10% off the unit and a free air quality monitor.
	And I know there's some sticker shock to this, but I'll explain.
	If you need an air filtration system in your house, you know that you need it.
	They are within a certain price range, and they're not all equally good.
	EnviroCleanse, patented technology in the filter that neutralizes bacteria.
	It's got a...
	It's got a thick, juicy HEPA filter that filters out particulate matter and then the patented technology in the filter that neutralizes bacteria, germs, etc.
	It is used by the Department of Defense.
	Can't say in how many areas or where, but it's used by the Department of Defense.
	It's in 300,000 classrooms in the United States.
	I'd like to get into some classrooms in Canada so that they can actually breathe clean air without having to open the windows in winter for proper circulation.
	It's got patented technology in the filter that neutralizes bacteria, odors.
	Objects smaller than the Rona.
	So it will reduce your risk of getting the flu during flu season.
	And it's cool.
	It's sleek.
	It blends right in.
	It's quiet.
	And for anybody who has asthmatic issues in the family, for anybody who has dogs that, you know, stink, or kids with allergies, but dogs that are not necessarily hypoallergenic, it's amazing.
	So go to ekpeer.com, echokelopeer.com.
	It'll bring you to envirocleanse.com forward slash ekpeer.
	Promo code VIVA will get you 10% off the unit.
	There is 0% financing for anybody who is eligible.
	I don't know what the requirements are exactly.
	And you'll get a free air quality monitor built by a third party, which will tell you what your air quality is and that is getting better once you start running that thing.
	It's beautiful.
	And thank you, Envirocleanse, for sponsoring.
	The free-thinking radicals.
	a hinged-fringed minority.
	Viva, do the libs fit in that machine?
	Perhaps they could be cleansed.
	There is no level of cleansing to get beyond the level of fraud and the level of corruption that we are seeing with FTX.
	But we're going to get there.
	Before we get there, let's have a little fun.
	Did everyone see SNL this weekend?
	I presume the answer is no because nobody watches that crap show because it's crap, unfunny, political rubbish.
	It is, in fact, just government propaganda through another arm of the government.
	But for the fact that Dave Chappelle was on it, and Dave Chappelle tends to be funny, tends to be insightful, I've come to the conclusion that comedians are the philosophers of our time.
	Nobody has time for philosophy.
	Nobody has time for reading Aristotle and Socrates.
	So we've got to get current political social philosophy via the philosophers of our time, the stand-up comics, the good ones.
	Chappelle is a good one.
	Not always slapstick, hitting your knees, crying with laughter.
	Insightful and unabashed and unremorseful.
	What is the word?
	Unremorseful.
	Remorseless.
	He was on SNL.
	And SNL, it's not just zero.
	It's less than zero, but not less than zero as in the Brett Easton Ellis book, which was a good book.
	It's garbage.
	It's garbage.
	And by the way, I went to watch the monologue because I don't watch that crap show anymore.
	Chappelle's opening monologue was quite funny.
	And now, I'm not going to say, as a Jew, I found it funny, therefore it's not a thing.
	It was funny.
	And if you're offended by that, I'll suggest that you have sensitivity issues.
	And even if you don't, good for you, don't watch it.
	To go from there to say, as did...
	Well, I should give you the punchline of the joke.
	So Chappelle gets up, reads a little, starts his monologue and pulls out a piece of paper and says, I denounce anti-Semitism in all its forms, yada, yada, yada.
	And that, Kanye, is how you buy yourself some time.
	Funny.
	It's funny.
	And you don't have to be of any tribe or persuasion to find it funny.
	He then goes on to say, you know, there are two words in the English language that you can't put together in the same sentence, the and Jews.
	And it's kind of funny.
	I mean, the thing is, it's funny for anybody because you can't put the and any broad group of people in any serious sense because if you say the Jews, It's almost as bad as saying, I mean, it's as bad as saying the blacks, the Chinese, the anything.
	Any blanket sweeping statement of the and then put in the group, it's problematic from an intellectual perspective because it doesn't matter how big the group is.
	There are no group but for superficial qualities that are homologous or that are absolutely uniform in belief, ideology, and everything.
	The joke.
	Is that you can't make certain observations without it getting into trouble.
	And lo and behold, Dave Chappelle made the observations, and lo and behold, he got into trouble.
	I mean, trouble is in scare quotes, but he got into trouble.
	Where did I put the tweet?
	Here we go.
	Is that it?
	No.
	Oh, come on.
	The guy from the ADL.
	I have it.
	I have it here because I brought it.
	Oh, for goodness sake.
	Oh, here we go.
	So, Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL, and I know of the history of the ADL.
	We've touched on it a bit.
	ADL CEO and Proud.
	If anybody doesn't get the three...
	And I didn't get it for the longest time when I was a newbie to the internet.
	Once upon a time when people were identifying the members of the tribe, the Jews, they would put the name in three brackets.
	And so it became an act of defiance for people, Jews and non-Jews, to put their name in three brackets, sort of like I am Spartacus.
	So Jonathan Greenblatt is with the ADL.
	The ADL is purportedly the Anti-Defamation League, although they might arguably be responsible for more defamation than defamation they prevent.
	But anyhow, set that aside.
	Jonathan Greenblatt, in response to Dave Chappelle's stand-up comedy bit on Saturday Night Live in his opening monologue, says we shouldn't expect Dave Chappelle to serve as society's moral compass.
	But disturbing to see NBC, SNL not just normalize, but popularize anti-Semitism?
	Why are Jewish sensitivities denied or diminished at almost every turn?
	Why does our trauma trigger applause?
	I would probably just, as a matter of fact, disagree with this statement.
	As a matter of fact, Jewish sensitivity is denied or diminished at almost every turn.
	I'm not sure what other groups have legislation that prevents certain types of speech.
	And some other people take issue with that.
	Why is it that in some countries you have legislation that it's illegal to deny the Holocaust?
	And yet...
	The Armenian Genocide, no such laws exist.
	This type of legislation, which, whether or not you agree with it in its essence, creates rifts precisely because I don't believe that there's any, I think there might be broad laws of denying genocide at large now.
	That's insofar or inasmuch as society has even recognized an incident as genocide to be covered by that.
	But there are specific laws prohibiting, talking about denying sensitivities or diminishing.
	It's legislatively protected in certain countries, whereas other genocides are not.
	Armenian, Rwandan.
	I think the Rwandan genocide, as far as broad legislation goes, would be recognized as genocide that would be covered by such prohibitions on free speech.
	Why does our trauma trigger applause?
	His joke was about Hollywood over-representation.
	Not about trauma.
	Not about making jokes about the Holocaust, although the movie Life is Beautiful.
	might be problematic according to Jonathan if that's the new standard.
	To which I replied, do you not understand?
	And this is the issue.
	You want to talk about that which creates divide and foments negative sentiment.
	Do you not understand that it's not Dave Chappelle's comedy that exacerbates anti-Semitic sentiment, but rather tweets like yours.
	No one group is above comedy.
	If Chappelle's monologue offended your sensitivities, your sensitivities of the issue, not Chappelle's comedy.
	And the ultimate irony is that in Chappelle's monologue, he makes jokes about the blacks.
	He makes jokes, sweeping generalizations about other groups as well.
	That doesn't upset certain people.
	Pick on one.
	Pick on one.
	And it effectively proves Chappelle's point.
	That's terrible.
	That's not comedy.
	Can you imagine, like, if that's the standard and we look back at Spaceballs, Airplane, Blazing Saddles, the classic comedies of all time.
	First of all, no group is above comedy.
	Period.
	If that monologue, in its innocuous...
	Jokes about statistical over-representations in an industry in Hollywood offended anyone's sensitivities.
	Methinks thou doth is too sensitive.
	Thank you.
	Let me see what's going on in here.
	But that's it.
	It's...
	Goddamn cables.
	It's nuts!
	And Chappelle, you know, Kanye proved the point, but not in a good way because he did say things which are, they're defensible from a libertarian perspective of freedom of speech, but they're not, they're easy to misinterpret and they're objectively bad.
	Wrong.
	Okay.
	Anything more serious than that?
	Nothing Kanye said makes me uncomfortable as an individual.
	It doesn't make me fearful as an individual or even as a member of a group.
	Period.
	I think most people have the wherewithal to see what Kanye's saying and know Where he's over-the-top idiotic and where, you know, where there's room for discussion.
	Nobody's going to look at Dave Chappelle's opening monologue for SNL and say that Chappelle is minimizing historical atrocities against any group.
	But, not to be outdone in the idiocy, Barclay, Charles Barclay had some interesting things to say.
	Hold on, let me get the video of Charles Barclay.
	That's it?
	No, no, no.
	That's it.
	Oh, here we go.
	Here we go.
	Let's listen to what Charles Barkley had to say.
	I've got another theory.
	Virtue signaling is going to be the end of Western civilization.
	It's like Gadsad refers to it as a parasite of the mind.
	People go from being normal, rational, funny, insightful, edgy, you know.
	Diverse humans.
	And once this virtue signaling to the rest of the world, Parasite, takes a hold of the brain, they literally become brain dead.
	They become brain dead to the point where it's like from that movie, the...
	What was that movie with M. Night Shyamalan where the person threw themselves...
	Where they lost their ability to self-protect?
	It had the word ING in it.
	It was like the something.
	That's a stupid movie.
	It's a terrible movie anyhow.
	But like...
	Once the virtue signaling parasite takes a hold of the mind, it's like the ant that literally has the parasite in its brain that goes to the top of the plant, bites into the plant, and then waits there for the bird to come pick it up so the parasite can get into the ant, into the bird, the bird eats the ant, poops it out, ants go eat the poop, and the cycle of parasitism of the mind continues.
	Listen to this.
	Someone who is, you're covering sports, but you're speaking out about issues that have to do with culture.
	And society.
	Why so outspoken about this?
	Outspoken?
	Well, Don, I don't like that word outspoken because I hope anybody who sees racism in any form whatsoever should stand up, whether it's against a black person, a Hispanic person, a Jewish person, or Asian.
	Asian hate's going a big deal in this country right now.
	So anybody should try to do the right thing.
	If you see something wrong...
	When it comes to race or homophobic or sexist, you should always say something.
	And I'm always going to do that.
	I don't care about the repercussions.
	If I see something wrong happening, Don, I'm going to say something.
	First of all, it's a great standard.
	If you see an injustice, you have to respond to the injustice.
	It's a great principle.
	Just wait until you see the punchline of this.
	Barkley is standing up for rights, everybody.
	If he sees something wrong, if he sees people making sweeping generalizations, offensive comments against any group, he's going to speak up.
	League should deal with it because, listen, he's still on suspension.
	But how do you think the league should deal with it?
	The reason I ask is because, you know, everyone is speaking out about it.
	Kyrie Irving is facing, you know, what he's facing.
	But the league let him go for a long time.
	They sort of are forcing him to apologize.
	But what if these are his real beliefs?
	With that as well, maybe they have someone who actually believes these things.
	I'm not saying it's right.
	Instead of forcing them to apologize, maybe they should be dealing with that part of it.
	Can you understand what they're discussing?
	Maybe they should be dealing with what someone actually believes.
	Oh, there might actually be racist people in the world.
	There might actually be anti-Semitic people in the world.
	There might be bigots, misogynists in the world.
	They might actually believe it.
	We have to go correct their thoughts.
	I mean...
	It seems to me that there are these re-education camps that do just this.
	I mean, what if he actually believes that there might be statistical over-representations in various areas and come to conclusions as a result?
	What do we do about that?
	I mean, this is literal thought police, and this is literal thought reform.
	Press play.
	He's thinking about it.
	I said that's a great question, Don.
	People have the right to feel and say what they want to.
	We have freedom of speech, but there are repercussions when you say certain things.
	Listen, I don't know Kyrie Irving.
	I don't know if he's a good guy.
	You have the freedom to say certain things, but there are repercussions.
	And not like legal repercussions, and not like repercussions for over-the-top things.
	Say something we don't like, there's repercussions.
	But you have freedom of speech.
	You just...
	Don't have the freedom to exercise it without repercussions that are unrelated to the area where you are being sanctioned for the freedom of speech or for the exercise of speech.
	Bad guy.
	I think he's been suspended, rightfully so, and I think he should come back and play in the NBA.
	But, you know, that's a really slippery slope because, you know, people always talk about freedom of speech, freedom of effect, or you say whatever you want to, but there are repercussions.
	I mean, and he's paying for that right now, but this thing with free speech has really gotten out of hand, Don.
	I mean, you just can't go around insulting people and think it's okay just because it's freedom of speech.
	Bookmark that.
	Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Oh my goodness.
	Just in case you missed it.
	That's hate speech.
	He should be sanctioned for that.
	He should be fired.
	He should be suspended.
	And what if he actually believes that?
	Why don't you get...
	What did he say?
	Your wife or a woman?
	I don't even know.
	Oh, but it's okay.
	Barkley was just joking.
	Unbelievable rubbish.
	Who just said what I knew someone was going to say?
	No, no, no.
	Bankman has Viva hair.
	And yeah, I noticed that when my thumbnail guy sent me the thumbnail.
	And I said, oh, geez, Louise.
	There will be jokes about the fro.
	The Hebrew fro.
	Oh, I noticed it.
	And once it's seen, it can't be unseen.
	All right, people.
	Let's go over to Rumble.
	And let's get the FTX bidness on the way.
	I know people are having UI issues.
	With Rumble, they don't like certain things.
	I know.
	I read the chats.
	I message them over to Kowlofsky.
	I know.
	They're working on it, and it will happen over time.
	But for now, actually, let's just get to the last super chat.
	Authoritarians have always said you are free to speak your mind.
	However, you are not free from the consequences of that speech.
	But there are social rules.
	Freedom of speech, come into the office and start telling offensive jokes.
	There are social consequences because, yes, you cannot have someone saying, freedom of speech, I want to make offensive jokes at the Christmas party because you have to maintain a certain decorum, a level of civility within a professional setting.
	But...
	When a basketball player on social media says something and they suspend him from the basketball court?
	Like, I've never even been a fan of taking away people's trophies in sports because of crimes they committed outside of the arena.
	Oh, my goodness.
	No, but Chappelle makes jokes about the Jews and then cancellation.
	But he can make jokes about blacks.
	He can make jokes about Latinos.
	He can make jokes about Asians.
	But he makes jokes about trans outrage.
	I went to see Trevor Noah.
	Don't judge me because it was a long time ago and it was an invitation from a friend pre-pandemic.
	And the only...
	I didn't laugh.
	The only insightful thing that Trevor Noah said during that entire show is that people's levels of tolerance for humor is a reflection of the stresses of the times.
	Happier times.
	More relaxed times, people will tolerate edgier humor.
	They'll tolerate more obscene humor.
	When people feel nervous, on edge, insecure, unhappy, they will tolerate far less by way of comedy.
	And it's an insightful thing.
	But it's insightful, and I guess it's not insightful.
	it's potentially obvious.
	You go to a party.
	And the drunker people get, the rowdier the humor gets.
	And so I guess in a way, a happy, peaceful, jubilant society is sort of intoxicated on its happiness and is prepared to put up with more edgy, edgier humor, more liberty when it comes to humor.
	A society that is stuck up, on edge, unhappy, will put up with far less by way of humor.
	We are certainly at that stage right now, to the point where it's killing humor, to the point where I would not want to be a stand-up comedian.
	I don't even...
	I sometimes feel a little nervous being a legal political analyst, commentator.
	But it was the only insightful thing that came out of that show, and it's interesting.
	Okay, let's do it.
	Over to Rumble.
	I will not share screen.
	I'm trying to end on Rumble and bring it over to YouTube.
	Thank my sponsor one more time before we go there.
	EnviroCleanse, air filtration system.
	Hey, look, if you're going to spend 700 bucks, get something good.
	And get something that most people know that they need if they know that they need one.
	And if you don't, there's probably a few more important things than breathing clean air.
	EKpeer.com, promo code VIVA.
	We're moving from YouTube in now.
	No, not now.
	3, 2, 1, now.
	Let's just see the number.
	We had 1,371 on the YouTubes.
	Let's go over to Rumble.
	A sense of humor requires common sense, real truth 22. Well, just to continue on the joke a little bit, a sense of humor requires a certain element of truth.
	If there's no truth to the joke, it's not funny.
	There has to be an element of truth in it.
	The old expression truth in jest, there has to be an element of truth in it.
	If there is no aspect of truth to it, it may be absurd, but it's not going to be funny.
	And so the idea...
	That Dave Chappelle, who's been in the industry, and I don't think it's a contradicted or disputable fact that there might be statistical over-representation of a demographic in the industry of Hollywood.
	Does that mean they control it?
	Does that mean that all Jews are rich?
	No.
	There are plenty of impoverished Jews.
	All you have to do is go to Israel to see it.
	I don't know if there's as much poverty in Israel as there is elsewhere, but you go see the Bobovichers, the families that have...
	10, 12 kids, they're not living a life of opulence.
	So are there incredibly poor members of the Jewish community?
	Absolutely.
	Do Jews control Hollywood?
	I don't know how you measure control.
	Do they control the...
	I don't know.
	But is it offensive to say that there's statistical over-representation?
	You have to be not overly sensitive.
	You have to be feigning sensitivity to deny something that's pretty much objectively observable, where you're dealing with a demographic that is...
	One and a half percent of the American population?
	To the extent that they represent more than, or we, I should say, to the extent that there is more than one and a half percent representation of Jews in Hollywood, is it offensive to say, as a stand-up comedy bit, yeah, I went to Hollywood.
	There were a lot.
	I mean, that's what Chappelle, that was one of the punchlines.
	There were a lot.
	Outrage!
	Outrageous!
	Perpetuating the most injurious stereotypes of Judaism, of Jewish people.
	And it's sort of a suck and a blow at the same time because one of the, you know, one of the prouder elements of Jewish culture, Jewish history, is the statistical over-representation in certain aspects, arts, sciences, Nobel laureates.
	So on the one hand, it's a source of pride to say Jewish people, representing a minute fraction of a percentage of the global population, are over-represented.
	In the arts, in the scientists, in the sciences, in Nobel Peace Prize winners, but say that they're overrepresented in Hollywood, outrage.
	That's what we call cognitive dissonance.
	What is it now?
	Three members of the Supreme Court are Jewish.
	Not with Ruth Ginsburg having passed.
	It's either two or three.
	Either way.
	Statistical overrepresentation.
	In areas of sciences, arts, literature, etc., has always been a source of pride for the Jewish community.
	And a source of, you know, people find it interesting.
	Look for cultural reasons, historical reasons.
	All of a sudden, you get Dave Chappelle joking about over-representation in Hollywood.
	I'll go and say, anybody criticizing Dave Chappelle is racist.
	There, let's fight that stupid fire with stupid fire.
	If you criticize Dave Chappelle for doing what other people do voluntarily to take credit for the over-representation, But you decide to pick on Dave Chappelle, it must be because you're racist.
	Okay.
	I'm reading some of the chat.
	I'll field one controversial one at the risk of getting myself in big trouble.
	TFN Network says Jews canceling Kanye, Irving, and now Chappelle proves Jews have all the power and money.
	It doesn't.
	Because when you have entities, I'll tell you, it does and it doesn't, but it doesn't.
	Because what you have are entities that I don't believe are controlled by Jews or overrepresented in terms of Jewry, doing the same form of cancellation.
	What it becomes is a social hive mind.
	It becomes a parasite of the mind where Jews and non-Jews alike, in order to feign virtue signaling to the world, say, we've got to cancel Kanye.
	I don't know.
	The executive board of Adidas.
	But it's not a Jewish entity, as far as I know.
	And they come out and feign outrage also.
	Because it becomes socially popular.
	It's how you score your virtue signaling points on social media.
	It's how you define yourself as a, what do they call them?
	Socially conscious company.
	And so it's not even as though it's one group pulling the purse strings.
	It's hive mind.
	Everybody doing it because they think it's the right thing to do because they have been inflicted and infected with that parasite of the mind, to quote Gad Saad one more time.
	And then the thing is, you have Jewish people on the other side opposing it, like Gad Saad.
	So it's not fair to make that statement, but I understand the sentiment because you see it happening in real time and then everyone goes and plays the game.
	Let's see who's making the decision here.
	But it's hive mind.
	It's not one group pulling the strings because the evidence to that is, pick on another group.
	That's also of the untouchables.
	There's no religion behind it.
	You're going to face equal cancellation.
	So it's not anything related specifically to one group controlling anything.
	It's hive mind controlling it through virtue.
	All right.
	Let's see if that was a good enough answer.
	Okay.
	But hold on.
	On that, I did have another thought on that'cause it's in the background.
	Um...
	Oh, yeah, Adidas.
	Oh, you know what?
	It's actually kind of funny.
	Because the ADL, you will recall, the ADL took that position that Dave Chappelle...
	Oh, why didn't I share it?
	share the screen um Here we go.
	You'll recall that the ADL...
	Or at least Jeff Greenblatt, the CEO, condemned Dave Chappelle's anti-Semitism because of his stand-up bit for SNL.
	Lamented why NBC would promote, popularize hatred.
	This is the ADL talking about Adidas, by the way.
	Adidas made a commitment that demonstrates their dedication to fighting anti-Semitism.
	Okay, they've made a commitment that demonstrates their dedication to fighting one form of discrimination.
	It will last long beyond this moment.
	Read more about our plans to fight anti-Semitism among student and professional athletes.
	Okay, doesn't matter.
	We can go into that later.
	Adidas has made a statement.
	Adidas is a moral company.
	They stand against discrimination.
	They stand against human rights abuses.
	They stand for human rights.
	They just happened to manufacture.
	103 of their production facilities happened to be in China.
	Human rights abusing China.
	It's not about a group controlling the purse strings, controlling the decision-making.
	It's about people doing what they think is good for business.
	Adidas thinks it's good for business right now to take a stand against anti-Semitism while making their shoes and other gear in China.
	Human rights abusing.
	Uyghur detention camp alleged, and I think the world has recognized it.
	Children, child slave labor.
	That's where Adidas, the good moral human rights supporting, they stand against discrimination and intolerance.
	And they stand for human rights, except when they're making their product that they sell for massively inflated, highly profitable prices.
	So 103.
	Of, I think it's like 270.
	I did the math and I keep forgetting.
	But Adidas is good and the ADL commends Adidas while they make their products in human rights abusing China.
	That's good.
	It says a lot about the ADL.
	It says a lot about Adidas.
	And it says a lot about the collective consciousness that that somehow is good for somebody.
	Ogrammykin, $5 Rumbarant, says Chappelle is not anti-Semitic.
	He's anti-crap.
	I'm not anti-Semitic, but I'm sick of the ADL.
	I think a lot of people are sick of the ADL, as far as I can surmise from online.
	The ADL, I'm sick of the ADL that come out and say that the OK hand gesture is white power, white supremacy, and then they use their own determination because they got duped by a 4chan gag, and then they have to make their own stupidity or rules to cloak their stupidity, and then turn it into one to demonize people who flash the OK symbol because it means white power, apparently, except when AOC does it, except when Obama does it, only when...
	Certain people do it?
	I think a lot of people are quite fed up with the ADL.
	Serenity prayer.
	All this SJ rhetoric, that stands for social justice rhetoric, makes me want to live far away from society forever.
	Yes, but there's something to be said about...
	No, you know what?
	Living far away from society.
	Sounds about right.
	Beyond Mystic says Viva.
	We are at peak insanity.
	When does the pendulum start swinging the other way?
	What more can this community do to fight the insanity?
	That's a $20 rumble rant of a question that I don't have the answer to.
	I like to say reach people through humor and insight.
	And yes, people will.
	They have to.
	But the bottom line?
	Enough people have to be bitten by the snake that they've been housing before they can...
	They have to be bitten by the rabid dog that they've been protecting before they realize it's a rabid dog.
	Speaking of rabid dogs, by the way, I was going to show that video later of a shepherd protecting his six-year-old boy from a pit bull that was charging at him.
	It's a great video.
	I still don't like shepherds all that much, but whatever.
	Okay.
	Hold on one second.
	So let me see this.
	The absolute state of Canada.
	I'm just going to close down some of the stuff in the background.
	So that is the lighter stuff today.
	And now we're going to get into, I mean, corruption.
	This is going to be, I don't think this is going to get swept under the rug.
	The FTX, whatever the guy's name is, Bankman.
	Bankman fried.
	I mean, it's Bankman fraud.
	This story.
	It's going to be just too big to ignore.
	And I have, look, there are smarter people out there than me.
	There are people who understand crypto a lot better than me.
	There are people who do a lot more deeper dive research than me.
	And I understand that.
	And I operate within the framework of my own capabilities.
	From the bit that I understand, which I think is more than some and definitely less than others, this is so freaking monumental.
	It is tough to describe.
	It is correlatively, monumentally huge to the degree to which fake news New York Times is trying to minimize it.
	So we're going to go through an article.
	I'm scratching my leg.
	We're going to go through an article written by the journalist of the New York Times.
	And just bear in mind that in as much as this article tries to minimize and downplay what's going on, It is correlatively and disproportionately more serious to the inverse.
	This is an article from the New York Times from yesterday.
	Okay, and I can see the jokes coming.
	I know the jokes coming because especially...
	Okay, it doesn't matter.
	The jokes are out there.
	And as an individual that I am, I'll read the jokes.
	This is describing The fraud of Sam Bankman Fried, FTX, without using the word fraud once.
	Someone did a little breakdown.
	The word fraud, crime, I don't know, a bunch of other damning words.
	Not used once in this entire expose.
	Breaking down how Sam Bankman Fried's crypto empire collapsed.
	Not once.
	You know what other word is acutely missing?
	Donate.
	In this entire article, the word donate comes up once.
	The word Democrat, zero.
	Someone's going to freeze from that.
	ADL is going to come after me.
	The most white power, white supremacist, Jewish member of the interwebs.
	Democrat, zero.
	Mind the gap, zero.
	You'll know what these words mean by the end of it.
	We're going to blitz through this because it's Goebbels.
	This is Joseph Goebbels' level.
	Some people were joking that we're going to have to say the New York Times is no longer Joseph Goebbels-level propaganda.
	Joseph Goebbels is going to have been the New York Times-level propaganda of the era.
	Bankman Free said in an interview that he expanded too fast and failed to see warning signs.
	That's one way of describing fraud.
	Again, I'm a noob.
	I don't understand crypto.
	It's one of the reasons why I have never accepted an endorsement to promote it.
	Which I'm very thankful for because the little that I have is now 50% worth what it was when I bought it.
	Why he failed to see the warning signs?
	I understand enough about crypto and Ponzi scheme fraud to understand what went down.
	He failed to see the warning signs.
	He issued his own coins, whatever they were, attributed whatever value to them, traded them to a company that was purportedly...
	A third-party arm's-length transaction who bought those coins to give them fake value so that FTX could say, we sold our coins, FTT, the tokens, for a billion dollars to a third-party entity, which happened to be a related party, so that he could then say, look, well, we've got another 30 billion.
	I don't know.
	Just do the math.
	We sold one coin for a billion.
	We've got another 20 coins.
	The company must be worth 21 billion.
	And then, you know, He had an exchange on which he was trading billions of dollars worth of crypto.
	And then when people found out about the fraud and they started selling all their bit, whatever their coins were on this exchange, lo and behold, they don't have the money to pay out for that.
	And it goes belly up.
	It's a Ponzi scheme by any other name.
	I can understand the basics to understand how it happened.
	No.
	But according to this journalist who spent an hour with him on the phone, he expanded.
	He did too fast and failed to see the warning signs of his own artificially inflated, fabricating money out of thin air, selling it to a related third party to create the fake value in real time.
	He failed to see it.
	But he shared few details about his handling of FCX customer funds.
	Because apparently whatever little liquidity was left in that company has been hacked and what's the word?
	Pirated?
	Has been removed.
	It's been lost.
	Hundreds of millions of dollars has been removed from the company.
	Is this it?
	Are we still on the same one here?
	Sorry, I just had to change screens.
	Okay, good, we are.
	I'll just go quickly.
	In less than a week, the cryptocurrency billionaire Sam Bankman Fried went from industry leader to industry villain, lost most of his fortune.
	It was never his fortune, by the way.
	It was never his fortune, as we'll see by the hundreds of millions of dollars that they were giving away.
	It's easy to be generous with other people's money.
	It was stolen, ill-gotten, fraudulently acquired funds.
	From standard retail investors who just took the word of Bankman, other people who vouched for him, who took it at its face value because nobody else has the insider track like the people that were saying, this is the best thing ever, you should buy some, and we'll get to that in a second.
	It wasn't his money.
	It wasn't his fortune.
	It was ill-gotten, fraudulently obtained.
	And where is it now?
	I'm sure they'll find a few hundred million dollars, but people who...
	Are left holding a bag.
	You're going to get pennies on the dollar, if anything.
	So as a $32 billion company plunge, in a wide-ranging interview on Sunday night that stretched past midnight, so thorough, so thorough, it went past midnight.
	Do you know what else I do past midnight sometimes?
	Tweet.
	It's not healthy.
	Doesn't make for good sleep.
	Got to try to wean that out of my behavior as well.
	He sounded surprisingly calm.
	He's a hero.
	You would have thought that I'd be getting no sleep right now, and instead I'm getting some.
	It could be worse.
	Now, I'll also say this.
	I've seen some interviews with Bankman Freed.
	He looks like he's definitely got some issues.
	And I mean, it's not to be funny.
	He's definitely got some issues.
	And that's worth what it's worth when you're also responsible for having literally stolen people's retirement funds.
	The teachers fund up in Canada apparently invested $95 million in FTX.
	What the flip?
	The empire built by Bankman Freed, who was once compared to titans of whomever, yada yada, collapsed last week after a run on the deposit left his crypto exchange, FTX, with an $8 billion shortfall, forcing them to file for bankruptcy.
	The damage has rippled across the industry, destabling other crypto coins, whatever.
	It's rippled across politics, and we're going to get there.
	Yada, yada, yada.
	Okay, fine.
	Besides, he would offer limited details about the central questions swirling around him.
	That means you're being lied to, journalist.
	Whether FTX improperly used billions of dollars of customer funds to prop up a trading firm that he also founded, Alameda Research.
	The Justice Department and the SEC are examining that relationship.
	Alameda had accumulated a large margin portion on FTX, essentially meaning it had borrowed funds from the exchange, Mr. Bankman Freeze said.
	It was substantially larger than I had thought it was.
	This is the passive dissociation of the culpable from the act of culpability.
	And in fact, the downside risk was very significant.
	That's what happens when you borrow on margin.
	I'm an idiot.
	That's why I don't short sell.
	But he did agree with critics in the crypto industry who said he had expanded his business interests too quickly across a wide swath of industry.
	Wait until you see the swath of industry that he went across.
	Had I been a bit more concentrated on what I was doing, I would have been able to be more thorough, he said.
	That would have allowed me to catch what was going on on the risks.
	Can you believe this?
	This is an infomercial.
	This is an infomercial that Bankman's lawyer would put together and it wouldn't even be this corny.
	Okay, well, we can skip here.
	I just want to see...
	Here, listen to this.
	Listen to this.
	As he embarked on a buy spree this year, investing in beleaguered crypto companies, he wasn't sharing information with key staff.
	When he was told that he was overextended and was encouraged to hire more employees, he resisted the suggestions.
	And in Washington, he was pushing an ambiguous regulatory agenda while speaking critically about Chengpeng Zhao, the chief executive of the rival Binance, who eventually mobilized his extensive Twitter following to set off the run on FTX.
	Oh, it's Zhao's fault.
	We all see this.
	This is the journalist lending credibility to the idea that it was Zhao who set off his Twitter people to cause a run on FTX.
	Not FTX fraud.
	Which they don't use this word in there.
	Alleged fraud.
	Despite the billions that venture capital firms put into the company, and we'll get there, FTX had none of those outside investors on its board.
	In the Bahamas, it's always starting well when it's in the Bahamas.
	Bankman Fried led a sometimes cloistered existence, surrounded by a small coterie of colleagues, some of whom were in Romance, according to four people familiar with the matter.
	He and his top lieutenants lived together in a penthouse in Albany, a 600-acre Oceanside Resort on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas.
	I think the word was polyamorous.
	Okay, let's just go down a little bit.
	Bankman moved FTX to the Bahamas in 2021, drawn by a regulatory setup that allowed him to offer risky trading positions that weren't legal in the United States.
	On the exchange, investors could borrow money to make big bets on the futures of cryptocurrency.
	Who set that up for him, by the way?
	Does the article mention anything about his father?
	No.
	His mother?
	No.
	Two words are astutely and acutely missing from this article.
	Who set that company up, journalists?
	We know the answers.
	This journalist doesn't think to ask the question or mention it.
	But I want to get to the donate.
	Attacking Mr. Zhao was not a good strategic move on my part, Mr. Bankman-Fried said on Sunday.
	I was pretty frustrated at a lot of what I saw happening, but I should have understood that it was not a good decision of me to express that.
	A former investor of FTX, Mr. Zhao, still owned a large amount of FTT, a cryptocurrency that FTX invented to facilitate trading on its platform.
	On November 6th, Zhao announced on Twitter that he was selling the FTT spooking customers who rushed to withdraw their FTX deposits.
	It's amazing.
	Oh, then he says he couldn't find financing, yada, yada, yada.
	As FTX crumbled, Mr. Bankman Freed has been working constructively with regulators, bankruptcy officials, and the company to try to do what's best for consumers.
	After robbing them, now he's going to work with government because government's going to come in and fix this problem.
	I just want to get to the word donate.
	Here we go.
	Listen to this.
	Even as he kept hiring down, Mr. Bankman Freed built an...
	Ambitious philanthropic operation.
	Wait until we get to that.
	Invested in dozens of other crypto companies.
	Bought stock in the trading firm Robinhood.
	Donated to political campaigns.
	That's it.
	That's the extent of it.
	And gave media interviews and offered Elon Musk billions of dollars to help finance the mogul's Twitter takeover.
	You know what Elon Musk said about this guy?
	Five minutes.
	Or I think it was 30 minutes.
	And he knew he was a fraud.
	Yeah, I'm going to put the article there in case anybody wants to read it.
	Oh, sorry.
	I have to crack my knuckles.
	It goes on.
	That's the New York Times.
	I don't know if they call that investigative journalism or if they call it journalism.
	It's propaganda.
	It was just he expanded too quickly.
	He wasn't paying enough attention.
	He didn't hire the right people.
	It's not fraud.
	It's not politically motivated fraud.
	Here.
	Let's just...
	Let's just take a few things up here.
	This is what an internet noob like myself...
	You can find this in a day, in an hour, while walking your dog.
	This is from what article?
	NBC News.
	The latest federal campaign finance figures show that Bankman of Freed has contributed more than $39 million towards federal races this cycle.
	More than 90% of that has gone to Democratic causes.
	He's also donated some money to Republican candidates and groups directly, as well as another cryptocurrency-related group that has made bipartisan.
	90% of $40 million is $36 million.
	He's also donated...
	Hey, that's nice.
	That's nice.
	It's even, right?
	No, it's not even.
	That's 90% of his $39 million.
	Oh, he donated to some campaigns, according to that New York Times article.
	Yeah, $40 million this election cycle alone, 90% of which his own donations went to the Democrats.
	But wait, there's more.
	This is from Forbes.
	Crypto-billionaire Sam Bankman-Frey burst onto the scene, becoming the second-largest billionaire donor to democratic causes.
	Altogether, he gave $40 million, including $35 million, to three different political action committees.
	That's him.
	We know 90% of that, according to the other article, went to Democrats or Democrat causes.
	Two of his deputies at FTX, his cryptocurrency exchange, gave nearly $20 million.
	Let's just round it up.
	$30 million.
	More.
	But that giving looks awfully profligate now, following a single tweet Tuesday morning by the world's richest crypto billionaire.
	This afternoon, FTX asked for our help, tweeted CZ, who Forbes estimated is worth $17.4 billion.
	There's a significant liquidity crunch to protect users.
	We signed a non-binding LOI, which didn't go through, intending to fully acquire FTX.
	I don't know what's left to acquire in there.
	30, he put 40 million.
	His two directors, deputies, 30 million.
	Hold on, what does profligate mean?
	I have to look that one up afterwards.
	30 million.
	But wait, but wait, there's more.
	This is where it's going to get amazing.
	You notice that New York Times article, astutely, acutely, suspiciously, made no mention, didn't use the word fraud.
	It didn't use the word donations.
	It used the word donate once, vaguely.
	Didn't mention mother, father of Freid from the New York Post.
	Biden's second biggest donor, cryptocurrency billionaire, Wunderkein Sam Berkman Freid, a.k.a.
	SPF, saw his business file for bankruptcy days after the election, but not before pumping $40 million into the...
	factually...
	Inaccurate if it was only 90% of the $40 million, but close enough to spend on get out the vote and other shadowy ballot harvesting mechanics for the midterms.
	The shambolic 32-year-old whiz kid once said to have been worth $16 billion, had spent $10 million helping get Biden elected in 2020.
	Do you remember that article in Time magazine about the secret cabal of well-funded individuals controlling information, changing the laws?
	SBF's mother!
	Stanford Law Professor Barbara Fry also is co-founder of left-wing political action committee Mind the Gap, also a word that does not appear in that New York Times piece.
	Puff piece.
	Propaganda piece.
	Mind the Gap, which has raised a reported $140 million to help Democrats win elections through the same get-out-the-vote grift.
	We've gone from one rabbit hole to the next, and I haven't gotten into the Ukrainian rabbit hole yet because I don't even know what that could possibly look like.
	So people are saying in the chat, Viva is a little too good.
	It's a German accent, Martha.
	Oh, don't you get me?
	Simpsons.
	Don't make me hard.
	I'm full of chocolate.
	And Klaus Schwab.
	Jules Verne 23 says, heard on Fox a minute ago, $40 million.
	Distinction without a difference, except for the fact checkers are going to go New York Post falsely claims it was $40 million.
	It was only $36 million, plus another $29 million for his deputies.
	Plus $140 million from his mother's Mind the Gap.
	Mind the Gap, by the way.
	So I'd say, okay, what the heck is Mind the Gap?
	Haven't heard of Mind the Gap?
	Don't worry.
	You're not supposed to have mined the gap.
	It's funny.
	Life can only be understood backwards, yet must be lived forwards.
	Kierkegaard.
	I'm going back to articles from 20 now.
	And they make a lot more sense.
	Because in 2020, they had $20 million.
	In 2022, it seems they had $140 million.
	And it seems that the Sun, SBF, was telling people to donate to Mind the Gap.
	Something his mother founded.
	This is from the Vox.
	So you know it's not Fox News or New York Post.
	Just contextualize this, people, with everything we read.
	Oh, you're not looking at the same article because I didn't pull it up yet.
	Contextualize this with everything that we've read in that Time article magazine.
	Individuals controlling the flow of information.
	Changing rules and regulations.
	In 2020, it was $20 million.
	In 2022, it was apparently $140 million.
	Inside the secret of Silicon Valley group that has funneled, I love that word because I suspect Vox was using it in a flattering way at the time, funneled over $20 million to Democrats.
	There's a reason why you haven't heard of Mind the Gap.
	It's, quote, raison d 'être, reason for being, is stealth.
	By Theodore Schleifer.
	Sorry.
	That one upset my dog.
	A secretive group led by Stanford University Academics has unleashed millions of dollars in political spending from Silicon Valley and is now convincing some of its biggest donors to spend millions more to back Democrats in 2020.
	Mind the Gap.
	I don't know if we find out where they got that name from, but it's a bad name.
	Mind the Gap, a network formed less than two years ago, has been quietly routing.
	It went from funneling to routing.
	Neither of those two terms are particularly good.
	Millions of dollars to Democratic candidates and groups across the country in the 2018 and 2020 election cycles, emerging as a new power center in the Silicon Valley political scene.
	It's almost like with the help of FTX, they might have figured out a way to not just consolidate, but...
	Amplify that power.
	It's just that so far it has avoided public detection.
	The jig is up, mind the gap.
	I think the jig might dothist be up, to quote Shakespeare.
	Yep, yep.
	You go back and read these articles now.
	With the current information, my goodness.
	The group's success is due in large part to how it speaks.
	The language of Silicon Valley, donors and operatives say, in 2018, Mind the Gap pitched donors on a statistical model that tried to assess the premise, the precise impact of each additional dollar on the, ah, whatever.
	The supposed secret sauce, the sauce, has ushered in more than $20 million in new political spending from tech leaders, tech leaders, and others who are grappling with how to best use their wealth in the age of Donald Trump, according to Mind the Gap's claim in materials seen by Recode.
	And the group has proven to be yet another way for Silicon Valley donors to spread their influence across the U.S. Mind the Gap, whose efforts haven't been previously reported, has recently petitioned some donors for at least $100,000 to support its efforts.
	Backers include people like Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, San Francisco power broker Ron Conway, and a coterie.
	Of major Democratic donors from across Silicon Valley, including fundraiser Amy Rowe.
	Who's this person?
	Okay.
	Stealth is its raison d 'etre.
	Yadda yadda yadda.
	A core strategy of Mind the Gap has been to hide which candidates and groups it is backing until it's too late, so to speak.
	Republicans closely watch Democratic donors to see which congressional races they are financing so they can mobilize their own donors to restore fundraising parity in a particular congressional list.
	Yada, yada.
	Okay, fine.
	Okay.
	Let me just see something here.
	I didn't check for this.
	Okay, nothing.
	So that's Mind the Gap.
	And it went from 20 million, it seems, in 2020 to 140 million in 2022.
	And what changed there?
	Bye.
	Thank you.
	Let me see something here.
	What are we at now?
	If we're at 140 million through Mind the Gap, we don't know what portion of it came from FTX potentially or from People related to FTX.
	We don't know.
	We're talking a shit ton of money.
	Like, it's $200 million from Bankman-Fried's mom, her entity, and Bankman-Fried and his entity.
	And poof!
	The day after the midterms, the house of cards comes crashing down.
	I just have to bring this one up.
	I just have to bring this one up.
	This is Kevin O 'Leary.
	A great businessman.
	And I have a feeling he's going to have a lot more than apologizing to do.
	But listen to this.
	In managing the decisions on which projects to invest in, because I'm very fortunate.
	My deal flow's insane.
	I see everything.
	He's so fortunate.
	His deal flow's insane.
	He sees everything.
	And I have to disclose, I'm a paid spokesperson to...
	To FTX and a shareholder there too.
	Oh, paid spokesperson.
	Shareholder.
	Do you know who buys shares in the company without looking at their financials?
	Me, off the open market.
	I'm joking.
	Do you know what...
	Let me rephrase that.
	Do you know what reasonably competent business person acquires shares, invests in the company without looking at its financials?
	None.
	Because we mentioned them.
	And big advocate for Sam because he has two parents that are compliance lawyers.
	If there's ever a place I could be that I'm not going to get in trouble, it's going to be at FTX.
	Oh, that didn't age well.
	So tell me, New York Times, did we ask any questions as to who set up that holding in the Bahamas?
	Did you ask any questions about that?
	Hold on, I'm bringing it back.
	I'm not done with Kevin O 'Leary yet.
	That's very interesting.
	When was this from?
	I'll have to go find out when this is from.
	But it's from before.
	It's from the past.
	It's from before the article in the New York Times.
	Kevin O 'Leary, Mr. Wonderful, makes great investments.
	Look, you know, his deal flow is incredible.
	Paid spokesperson for FTX, paid ambassador, and an investor.
	Decisions on which projects to...
	To invest in because I'm very fortunate.
	My deal flow is insane.
	I see everything.
	And I have to disclose I'm a paid spokesperson to FTX and a shareholder there too.
	So ethical.
	He has to disclose it.
	I'm a paid spokesperson and a shareholder.
	I know the finances of the company and they are paying me independently as I continue to promote their stock.
	How much do they pay you, Kevin?
	I'd like to know.
	Aggregate, they paid him in crypto from what I was able to find online.
	How much do they pay you?
	And how much did you lose, if anything?
	Two questions.
	Because we mentioned them.
	And big advocate for Sam because he has two parents that are compliance lawyers.
	If there's ever a place I could be that I'm not going to get in trouble, it's going to be at FTX.
	Wow.
	Two parents.
	Kevin O 'Leary knew what his parents did.
	Was it his parents that set up this structure?
	A structure that any 21-year-old would not...
	I don't know how old the kid is.
	Um...
	Thank you.
	Oh, there's a link for the exact sources of SDF's 2022 political donations.
	I'll go check that out afterwards.
	Yeah, that's two very, very important statements made publicly.
	His parents are...
	What are they?
	Tax attorneys?
	They know how to set things up.
	Who would stand to benefit from this entire scheme?
	A political action committee.
	I mean, it's corruption of the highest order.
	And who did they steal from?
	Who is left holding an FTT?
	I don't even know what a stablecoin is.
	I don't know what a difference between a stablecoin is.
	All that I know is that people still have faith in Bitcoin.
	I've got faith in nothing.
	That's a black pill.
	No, I have faith in something.
	Well, my rubbing stone.
	Everybody wants to know how you get through the times?
	Get a rubbing stone.
	This one's very nice.
	I got it in the Texas gem shop.
	The rubbing stone does nothing.
	So that's Mr. Wonderful putting another piece of this puzzle together.
	New York Times won't talk about it.
	Why would they?
	And then it goes even worse.
	It gets even worse because a company, it's just raking in the cash.
	And Bankman Freed is just doling out the cash.
	40 million bucks in 2022 alone.
	How much was it?
	I think he said 10 million in 2020.
	The secret cabal of well-funded individuals.
	Well, it seems that FTX goes even one step further than that.
	Because when you're dealing in the billions and you're a billionaire, when you're an honest billionaire, what you obviously do is you want to get into philanthropy.
	It's not just the thrill of the scam.
	You want to get the social virtue, the virtue signaling social credit points for being a philanthropist.
	The FTX Foundation supports the global expansion of the trial of the year award-winning together trial.
	That sentence doesn't make any sense.
	All that I know, I said it on Twitter, I want Pfizer trials to take on a new meaning.
	And maybe one day it will, but...
	It seems that FTX was also involved in global COVID response.
	San Diego, the FTX Foundation, proudly announces financial support for the global expansion of the TOGETHER trial on the same day.
	What date are we in here?
	May 16, 2022.
	That's six months ago.
	Six months ago to the day tomorrow.
	Yada, yada, yada.
	Award for the Society of Clinical Trial in San Diego.
	Each year, the SCT awards presents one award for a randomized clinical trial published the previous year that best exemplifies five key criteria, including improvements to humankind and provides a basis for substantial and beneficial changes to health care.
	The TOGETHER trial is the largest placebo-controlled COVID-19 trial and has so far evaluated 11 different treatments for COVID-19.
	So now, not only is FTX funding Democrat Politicians, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, they're funding science as well.
	The Together Trial, we did that already, on May 16th, the Together Trial receives the award and denounces more than $18 million in funding and purchase commitments from the FTX Foundation that will enable the expansion of the trial from Brazil and Canada to include experienced sites in South Africa, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
	Can you believe this?
	The FTX Foundation is excited to commit $15 million to funding additional trial arms in the Together trial and its growing global network of sister trials, said Ross, the founder of the FTX Foundation.
	So I had to double-check something here, by the way, because I wanted to make sure that I wasn't making a mistake.
	The FTX Foundation, just to show my homework, and if I'm wrong, I will always correct myself.
	Is related to FTX.
	The FTX Foundation works to save lives, prevent suffering, and help build a flourishing future.
	The FTX Foundation is a philanthropic collective.
	We are funded principally by Sam Bankman-Fried and other senior principals at FTX.
	Our charitable activities are also supported by FTX users and employees who make contributions to FTX Philanthropy, Inc., a non-profit organization.
	Through the FTX giving programs.
	I mean, for anybody who doesn't understand corporate law, this is gibberish.
	For anybody who does understand corporate law, and I'd like to think that I have a mild understanding, this is shell games.
	You got one company setting up a philanthropic company.
	It has its own people there.
	It spends, it siphons money around, funnels it, whatever you want to call it.
	You know, takes their portions here and there.
	I mean, you think this kid sets this all up on his own?
	Setting up overseas, offshore accounts for trading.
	Fundraisers interconnected.
	Donating tens of millions of dollars to the Democrat Party.
	Funding COVID research with all of its politics and with all of its corruption.
	It's not just a rabbit hole.
	What's that boar hole that they dug in Russia that was like 12, 14 kilometers deep?
	It's the Marianas Trench of corruption.
	And I haven't even scratched the surface.
	This is what I'm doing off my iPhone while walking a dog.
	And it all goes bust the day after the midterms.
	Okay, well, that's where I got to for now on that.
	Let me just make sure that I didn't...
	Kevin O'Leary's got some explaining to do.
	What's this?
	Is this...
	Yeah, that's what I said to the journalist.
	I spoke to...
	This is his tweet.
	This is the thorough...
	I spoke to SBF for over an hour.
	I asked about investigations, potential jail time, and missing customer funds.
	He didn't have satisfying answers.
	You know what, by the way, Yaffe Bellini, you didn't need him to give you those answers.
	All of those answers that you have questions to are already out there on the interwebs for very easy finding with your thumbs.
	But it was a rare chance to see what he's thinking at an insane time.
	Let's just see what some of the...
	Bad journalism, dude.
	This is clearly not journalism.
	What about this?
	Not to mention him being the second largest Democrat donor.
	Didn't even think to mention it.
	In the New York Times piece, that's going to be read by millions of people who are going to think that they are being informed by the New York Times.
	They are being worse than misinformed.
	They are being duped and they are being treated like idiots.
	And I'm going to go out on a limb and say it.
	Anybody who reads the New York Times for news and actual news and actually thinks they're getting news is an idiot.
	Maybe that'll go on a shirt.
	You used the word donate one time and didn't mention Democrats once or the quantum donated nearly 70 million or his family funneling 140 million to Democrats through Mind the Gap.
	This is not journalism.
	It's Goebbels-level propaganda courtesy of the New York Times.
	Testify.
	I just saw a $10 rumble rant there.
	I'm not your buddy guy says Carrie Lake can prove fraud.
	The treasurer received more votes than the governors did and they were Republican.
	We need to contact everyone who voted for that treasurer if they voted for Carrie as well.
	I'm not your buddy guy.
	Well, Harmeet Dillon is working on the lawsuit and I believe with Ron Coleman.
	So hit them up on Twitter.
	I have no doubt they're well aware of everything.
	In exponentially more detail than all of us on the outside, but anybody who thinks they have anything interesting, useful, Harmeet Dillon, Ron Coleman.
	I know our acting attorney's on the ground, so you can go hit him up and try to connect with him on Twitter or just tag him in a tweet, see what happens.
	Yep, that's the latest as of today.
	And the wonderful thing about this, the Democrats get...
	Let's just say $200 million, give or take.
	We'll have to see what portion of the $140 million from Mind the Gap came from FTX directly or indirectly.
	We'll see.
	People will find that out eventually.
	They get their tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions.
	They fare better in the elections than they ever thought they could because of a well-funded cabal of philanthropists meeting in secret, yada, yada, yada.
	They get it.
	The company goes bust for obvious Ponzi scheme fraud that...
	Even I understood in a second.
	Kevin O 'Leary, take that.
	And now what's going to happen?
	The government is going to reap the benefits yet again because they're going to come and say, look, this fraud, of which we were largely well aware and possibly even had a hand in, this fraud is the reason why we need regulation of digital cryptocurrencies or whatever it is, the crypto market.
	This is why it needs regulation.
	The government needs to get in here.
	The government that just took the fruits, the ill-gotten fruits of this scam, now is going to come in and say, we need to create more work for ourselves.
	We need to regulate this industry to prevent people from engaging in this type of fraud ever again.
	Win-win.
	It's always a win-win for the government.
	It's the only industry where you fail up.
	It's the only industry where when you fail, you give yourself more powers.
	And as if they're going to pretend that nobody knew about this.
	Hey, Dems, when you're receiving tens of millions of dollars, From donors.
	Don't ask, don't tell policy back in effect.
	Rahh.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Thank you.
	But yeah, here, here.
	So moving on.
	Another level of corruption.
	In case anyone was wondering, Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, is honored and humbled to accept the, quote, Courage Against Hate Award.
	End quote.
	I mean, it's such a beautiful cycle of life.
	An individual who some people might think is the greatest criminal of our era, Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, sold us on a product that they never tested for transmission because they were moving at the speed of science despite multiple tweets claiming 100% effective at preventing cases.
	He's now honored and humbled to accept the courage against hate.
	And who's it offered by?
	The ADL.
	Because they have such good discretion in going after Chappelle and defending Adidas, who manufactures their shoes in facilities in human rights violating China.
	They are now granting an award to a man who deserves to be on trial, as far as I'm concerned, for fraud at the very least.
	Alleged fraud.
	My humble opinion.
	Not a statement of fact.
	Selling us something that you were telling us did something that you never actually even tested it to do, and now two years later, a year and a half later, now you're doing tests on myocarditis?
	Yeah, oh yeah.
	Give this IMHO, corrupt fraud criminal, an award to legitimize him in this milieu of disgusting, corrupt people.
	That's how it works, by the way.
	Be weary of awards.
	I say that despite awards.
	No value in awards.
	I'll rephrase that.
	The value of the award is only as pristine, honorable as the institution itself.
	So enjoy your Courage Against Hate Award, Albert Bourla.
	God knows why you possibly deserve it.
	But that's it.
	But now he's legitimate.
	Harvey Weinstein won a bunch of awards as well.
	And I'm not saying Burl is, oh, Harvey Weinstein.
	They might be equally culpable for absolutely different reasons.
	But it's always the people who...
	Let me rephrase.
	The tendency is that it's the people who do the worst outwardly feign virtue.
	They like to tout their donations.
	I can't be a bad person.
	I can't be a fraud.
	I donated to...
	Whatever the heck that trials program was.
	I can't be a bad person.
	I donate to women's rights all the time, said Harvey Weinstein.
	I can't be responsible for coercing a medical procedure that hadn't been tested for safety despite saying it was safe and effective.
	I won the, whatever the hell, the Courage Against Hate Award.
	I'm a legitimate, I'm a legitimate, valuable member of the world because I won this award.
	That's how it works.
	Okay, what else is there?
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	There is more.
	There is more, by the way.
	We're going to continue following this FTX scandal.
	I think it's impossible that this gets swept under a rug and disappears.
	I think.
	We're dealing with numbers and we're dealing with scope.
	That's...
	I think it's going to be unheard of.
	It's going to be on par with Enron, and it's going to eclipse Madoff.
	And as these layers of this disgusting, sour, rotten onion start to get peeled back, there's going to be a lot of other questions, and a lot of other things are going to make a lot more sense.
	Okay, there's some...
	Psyhop74 says, it'll be swept under the rug, David, or it will be swept under the rug, David, unless they can tie it to Trump.
	This cannot be hidden, and it will take people, you know, not even investigating, it'll take people just informing themselves, educating themselves.
	Okay.
	So, what was I about to say?
	Yeah, I'm reading some of the chat there.
	All right, what else?
	There's some other funny stuff.
	Come on, what's my problem?
	Go to StreamYard.
	We're doing good, people.
	I am going exclusive locals later to read the Rumble Rants and do some other stuff.
	I've just been having trouble with timing of things.
	Oh, this is funny.
	Okay, this is funny.
	I'm going to share this only to close it because we've already done it.
	Did I do the, you know, speaking of science?
	Speaking of trust the science.
	Okay.
	Science, people.
	Politics ruins everything.
	The Gadsad's parasitic mind.
	Read the book, everybody.
	I'm going to actually blast out an Amazon affiliate link after this.
	Read the book.
	This individual, I saw this through a tweet from Gadsad, who was responding to a tweet.
	This is the world we live in.
	Scientists are arguing.
	Scientists are arguing that biological sex is real, is not real, it's not immutable, and it's not binary.
	Who's Colin Wright?
	I don't know who Colin Wright is.
	Evolutionary biologist.
	Sounds legit.
	I'm not being sarcastic.
	Biologist, you know?
	Ketanji Brown Jackson is not a biologist.
	She doesn't know what a man or a woman is.
	This guy's a biologist.
	He does.
	He writes, biological sex is real, immutable, and binary.
	This individual, Sean Carroll, just to make sure I'm neurotic, we're looking at the same thing, is also, he's physics, so I don't know that he's not a biologist.
	Philosophy, not biology.
	Complexity.
	Okay.
	He comes out and says, ever so sassy, actual science would like a word.
	And shares this graph.
	Beyond XX and XY.
	Now, I'm one to take all opposing opinions, all opinions, seriously.
	So I have to go read it.
	Now, I hope we can read this together.
	A host of factors figure into whether someone is female, male, or somewhere in between.
	Humans are socially conditioned to view sex and gender as binary attributes.
	No, just sex.
	Just sex.
	From the moment we are born or even before, we are definitively labeled boy or girl.
	Yet science points to a much more ambiguous reality.
	Determination of biological sex is staggeringly complex.
	This is the commentary on its chart.
	Involving not only anatomy, but an intricate choreography of genetic and chemical factors that unfolds over...
	All right, I think we all agree on that.
	But let's just go to the side of things here.
	Conception.
	Typical biological female.
	And if we go down the chart, typical biological male.
	And then they have some stuff.
	Male internal and external genitalia.
	Female internal and external genitalia.
	And then we get into the middle part, which this scientist thinks lends credence to the idea that it's not immutable because there are exceptions in between.
	What are those exceptions when they're going with XX chromosomes?
	Turner syndrome.
	Another one?
	Testicular disorder of sex development.
	This is a congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
	Mixed gonad dysgenesis.
	Androgen insensitivity syndrome, Klenefelter syndrome, get out of there, 5-alpha reductus deficiency, persistent Muller induct syndrome, and those are qualified as intersex conditions.
	So this scientist, in a bid to show that gender or sex is not real, immutable, and binary, shares a graph.
	That shows that it is binary, and every exception to the rule of binary is as a result of a condition, a syndrome, a deficiency, or what was the other word?
	I wrote it down.
	There were four words indicating that it's clearly an anatomical, biological, chemical anomaly, to use a nonjudgmental term.
	Deficiency, syndrome, disorder, or condition.
	We all agree.
	There are Exceedingly rare exceptions.
	Chemical disorders, deficiencies, etc.
	That attenuate the binary real immutable, although it doesn't even change.
	What it means is that it is real and immutable unless there is a deficiency.
	And this individual effectively came out and said, if you're not on the spectrum, you're deficient, you have a syndrome, you have a condition, or other anomaly.
	Some might say that that's bigoted.
	Intolerant.
	But this is the state of science.
	That because you can have genetic anomalies, to use a non-judgmental word, that that somehow lends credence to this institutionalized promulgation of what has always been recognized as a mental disorder of gender dysphoria.
	That's science.
	We've entered the dark ages of science and intellectual thought.
	A veritable dark ages.
	Where we're actually arguing that boys and girls are not binary from a sex perspective.
	Because from an emotional perspective, people might think, I have proclivities.
	I have preferences.
	What was the word I was just about to look for?
	I forget.
	A world of science.
	Here's another one.
	Scott Wiener.
	Sorry.
	Things are fun.
	Scott Wiener, California State Senator, Chair, Housing Committee, Former Chair, Legislative LGBTQ Caucus, Housing, Transit, Climate, Criminal Justice Reform, Health, Democrat.
	No pronouns in bio?
	I thought that was an act of violence these days.
	This is Scott Wiener trying to promote the idea that the New York Times published a piece that's going to give fodder to bigots.
	Hold on, I'm going to cough now.
	Am I?
	Yep.
	Fodder to bigots.
	New York Times publishes yet another expose.
	Fueling efforts by Ron DeSantis, other bigots, To ban gender-affirming care for trans kids.
	Why?
	Oh, because they noted that there are side effects to puberty blockers, to top surgery, which is double mastectomy, sometimes in young girls.
	So because the New York Times comes out and says, no, you all have been lying when you say puberty blockers, just put a pause on puberty, it's totally reversible.
	You've been lying, pathological, in your face, lying at the expense of developing children, Scott Wiener.
	Senator, you have been lying.
	And now even the New York Times says, yeah, you know, there are serious side effects to puberty blockers, to top surgeries.
	And he says, why would you tell people that?
	That's just going to give bigots the fodder they need to say there's side effects to it.
	Every treatment has side effects.
	Yeah.
	MDs, families assess the risks.
	No, sometimes...
	Just sometimes, Senator Scott Wiener, legislators assess the risk, and they say no doctor is ever going to prescribe, in Western culture, female genital mutilation.
	Sometimes, legislators and lawmakers come in and say, this is not up for scientific debate.
	This is not up for medical debate.
	This is not up for doctor and patient.
	We are not letting kids get tattoos on their faces.
	And we're not letting kids cut off their breasts because they identify as male at that point in their life.
	Every treatment has side effects.
	No.
	Why push to delegitimize treatment that saves kids' lives?
	First of all, Weiner, I'd like to know your stats on whether or not these of the most egregious type, which I believe can only be qualified as a form of genital mutilation, does it actually save lives?
	Over the life of the patient.
	I don't pretend to know, but from what I understand, it doesn't.
	What could possibly be more psychologically devastating to a 20-year-old than to have stunted genital growth because of puberty blockers they took when they were 13?
	You think that's going to help someone's long-term chances of survival?
	No, no.
	I don't think this guy even knows.
	I'll take it back.
	I think he does know.
	And I think he knows that it doesn't actually in the long run.
	These mutilation practices do not save the lives of their patients in the long run.
	They might actually exacerbate what is at its core the underlying problem.
	Oh, that's right, because I forgot the next read.
	Birth control for teens has side effects.
	It also prevents pregnancy.
	PrEP, which I take, can cause liver issues and impact bone density.
	It also prevents HIV.
	Yet we don't see the New York Times exposés trashing them.
	Gender-affirming care saves trans kids' lives, but bone density.
	You've stated the conclusion again, Senator Wiener.
	But I haven't seen your homework, and the homework that I have seen does not support your statement.
	Prep.
	I don't know what prep is anyhow, but it doesn't matter.
	Birth control has side effects, but it prevents it.
	So let's go cut off the breasts of developing children because they say at that point in time, it'll save their life.
	Or some activist doctor convinces the parents that that's the only thing they can do to save their kids' lives.
	And in the long run, it probably doesn't even do that.
	It might actually even exacerbate the problem.
	Sorry.
	Some acts are not between doctor and...
	Minor patient.
	They are between the legislature and the people.
	And I just have to say, when you can't assess the difference between birth control and puberty blockers or top surgery double mastectomies, it's time to take a break from Twitter.
	And possibly politics, Senator.
	Possibly politics.
	Possibly politics.
	Okay, I'm reading what PrEP is, and I'm...
	You know my theory.
	Get married to a man or a woman, keep your schmeckle or your vajayjay in your pants, or among your spouse, and you're going to live a long...
	You increase your odds of leading a longer, happier life.
	My mentor, as a young lawyer, said, easiest way to minimize your chances of going broke, try not to get divorced.
	He wasn't speaking from experience.
	Okay.
	What else?
	because there's a little bit more left in the bank.
	Oh, we'll let, well, okay, no, let's, Djokovic, by the way.
	I'm still alive.
	Five minutes.
	Djokovic will play the 20th.
	Yeah, his visa ban was overturned.
	They stole one year from his competitive life.
	21-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic will be allowed to return.
	I'll be done in two minutes.
	He's allowed to return after his visa was denied by the Australian government.
	He was very open about his decision not to receive the jibby jab when he attempted to enter Australia or this year to play the tournament.
	His visa ban has been overturned by the federal government after they stole a year of his competitive life in a life that is, you know...
	Competitive athletes have a very small window of effective competitive years.
	They just stole one year, or at least one year from one competition.
	He was previously facing a three-year ban from the country.
	Now the question is this.
	Djokovic was left out of the field at the 2022 U.S. Open after failing to meet vaccination requirements.
	Can you imagine if that sacrifice that he made for one year proves to save his career for another decade?
	He divided Nick Caliglios in the 2022 Wimbledon finals to break his 20-day slam tie with Roger Federer.
	This is the question, people.
	Does he boycott out of principle now?
	I say no.
	I say the greatest revenge is massive success.
	Boycott...
	Oh, but you know if he goes and he plays and he loses, the media is going to relish in it, but if he goes and smashes it and wins it and says, F you, a big middle finger to you bastards, take it.
	That would be the greatest victory.
	Boycotting it?
	I don't know.
	He lost a lot of money, says Honor234.
	He's a better person, says PSYOP.
	God bless Djokovic, says NukeDaddy777.
	Is this Wiener the one who was in the U.S. House and was disgraced because he sent lewd pictures of himself in phone communications?
	If it is, I didn't know that.
	Hold on one second.
	Hold up, hold up, hold up.
	To quote Daryl Brooks talking to the judge, hold up, hold up, hold up.
	It was Senator Scott...
	Why do I think it's a rhetorical question and everybody knows it's the same one?
	Lewd pictures.
	Oh, that's Anthony.
	Well, there's Anthony Weiner, which is also an unfortunate.
	Senator Scott Weiner.
	I'm only getting things for Anthony Weiner.
	Oh, no.
	So that was Anthony Weiner.
	That much I remember.
	Very unfortunate names for someone who's going to get busted for sending pictures of his privates to somebody.
	Okay.
	It's the New York Weiner.
	It's Anthony Weiner.
	Even that much I knew.
	We're going to end on a laugh today.
	Hold on.
	We're going to end on a laugh.
	And then we're going to end on something good.
	There's a...
	What do they call them?
	A political comic?
	A political comment guy?
	Political...
	Like a comic!
	Like what Scott Adams does, except bad.
	And I'm saying what Scott Adams actually has an insightful, funny comic.
	Political commentary.
	Political cartoonist is the word.
	There's a political cartoonist in Canada who is a political prize.
	He makes political comments for none other than the Toronto Star.
	The Toronto Star is that nasty publication that had the cover headline, the cover page that said, you know, no more sympathy for the unvaccinated, yada yada, they deserve everything they're getting.
	Nasty, divisive, disgusting people.
	I'll say it.
	Anybody working there is participating in social division and nastiness.
	Theo Mudakis.
	Are we sharing the same screen?
	We are.
	Theo Mudakis, award-winning editorial cartoonist for the Toronto Star and National Treasure.
	He's Canadian, and his banner is a picture of Trump, because he's, like all other victims of TDS, he's infatuated with Trump.
	Infatuated with hatred.
	He put out a comic, and it's just, you know, the old meme, the left can't.
	Or the old joke, the left can't meme?
	I've lived long enough to see that it's true.
	This is his political cartoon that's supposed to be insightful, funny, satirical.
	It's a little kid.
	Mask up Ontario.
	And if you won't do it for yourself, then do it for us kids.
	And then we've got, oh, his Canadian version of MAGA Republican.
	A no-mask shirt, which I didn't notice for the joke, but you'll see it.
	She's making me feel unfree.
	As if that strawmanning bullcrap of a framing of a discussion is anywhere near the realm of reality.
	It's dumb.
	It's uninsightful.
	It's cliched.
	It's manipulative.
	Because I suspect Theo Moudakis is that himself.
	But because I think that I'm funny...
	And there's people that love it.
	So I'm in incognito.
	So my thing's going to come up in a second.
	Let's scroll down and see how far I've done.
	Because I know that I made something.
	I made a funny.
	It was a version of his comic.
	Oh, no.
	I like...
	No, that's not mine.
	I might have to go to my own Twitter feed just to get this if I don't find it fast enough.
	Come on.
	How far down would I be going in his Twitter feed in incognito mode when it's going to have...
	Well, this is taking too long.
	I'm going to lose the attention span of the crowd, people.
	Come on.
	While I do that...
	Okay, so that was five times August who has a new album that's been released.
	That's poignant.
	Fearful adults using children as their shields.
	Okay, this is it.
	Here we go.
	Oh, hold on one second.
	I think I got more retweets of him.
	Why would it be so far down?
	Maybe it's based on time.
	I don't know.
	It doesn't matter.
	Mine is better.
	You will notice, people, I deliberately removed his signature from the top left corner to avoid any confusion.
	And I whited out the words and I put in my own.
	I'm a kid.
	I've had twos of my life stolen.
	I've been masked up.
	And the only thing I screwed up in this entire thing, I didn't remove the no masks from his shirt, which would have made it absolutely perfect, but to quote the greatest band of all time, Oasis, true perfection has to be imperfect.
	Russian missile just struck NATO member Poland.
	That's a $5 rumble rant from I'm Not Your Buddy Guy.
	And now there's a lawnmower outside.
	All right, perfect time to end it.
	Let's go and just get something that's going to make us happy.
	We must be able to find something that's going to make us happy.
	It's got to be short.
	It's got to be good.
	And it's got to be fun.
	It's got to be fishing.
	The best days of my life.
	Let's find something good.
	No.
	No, it's too long of a video.
	All right.
	We're going to go with the fishing video.
	I got it right here.
	All right.
	Putting on pause and let's do it.
	Ice fishing in Canada.
	Everybody, the white pill is knowledge.
	That's the end of it.
	Okay?
	Life is pain.
	Anybody who says different is selling you something.
	Princess Bride.
	Knowledge is suffering.
	But through that suffering comes improvements, comes evolution, comes progress.
	It's going to happen.
	Johnson Cash, maybe the massive jump in respiratory illness that they're noticing in Ontario is due to the masks.
	Or it might be due to something else.
	I don't know.
	Here we go.
	Winnie's in the house.
	What do you say?
	What do you say?
	Everyone have a good day, DV Downmark.
	Who's on first growth?
	Yes, someday I want to ice fish in Canada.
	Well, this is...
	I'm not particularly good at ice fishing.
	And this was an exception where we actually caught a big bass.
	My daughter caught it.
	And I miss winter.
	I miss Canada.
	I miss the changing of the seasons.
	But this is where the journey of life has taken me for now.
	So people, with that said, see you tomorrow.
	Chin up, chest out, and just know that with great knowledge comes great despair, and with that comes great evolution and growth.
	And that's it.
	It's what we must do.
	Get through the hard times so we can appreciate the good times.
	If we're capable of doing that, which I'm not.
	But with that said, fishing.
	Because fishing will always make everyone happy, even the people who hate fishing, which there should not be.
	So everybody, enjoy the day.
	Enjoy the video that's going to play us out.
	Thank you for spending the afternoon with me.
	And I'm going to go follow the news, see what we have to talk about tomorrow.
	Fishing video on now.
	Enjoy.
	See you soon.
	Peace out.
	Oh yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	I miss the cold.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Straight out of North by Northwest, people.
	What on earth is this?
	Nothing weird about that.
	Okay.
	Back to fishing.
	Let's see how our fish is doing down here.
	We have a double header.
	Look at this!
	Look, he's still got the little fish in his mouth.
	Oh, I'm gonna eat one.
	No, no, these guys are small enough.
	And once he gets that fish out of his mouth...
	Oh, he's taking it down with him.
	Daddy!
	I'm wrong!
	Oh, he's taking it down with him.
	Daddy!
	I'm wrong!
	Oh, he's taking it down with him.
	Daddy!
	I'm wrong!
	Oh, he's taking it down with him.
	You got it out.
	Reel it.
	Reel it.
	Okay, go.
	Bring it in.
	Bring it in.
	Come on.
	Yeah!
	Nice!
	Show Mommy!
	I just got stuck with his dorsal thing.
	Okay.
	All right.
	What if you want to go?
	Here, it's right here.
	Text Mom.
	You want to get a picture with?
	yeah Here's your high five.
	Here's your high five.
	Whoa!
	Sweet!
	Sweet Jesus, Vila!
	And the hook just came out right- OH MY GOSH!
	This is crazy!
	Show it to mommy.
	I got a bath.
	Okay, well, you got to post it.
	Put the camera down.
	Yeah.
	I got my phone in my pocket.
	Come here.
	Hold this.
	Hold this out.
	Spread your hands a little water.
	Spread your hands a little water.
	Okay.
	Don't move.
	Don't move.
	Hold on.
	Hold on, Lila.
	My clothes work!
	Three, two, one.
	Three, two.
	Oh, my gosh.
	This is a monster.
	Oh, my goodness.
	You want to put him back?
	You okay?
	Can I put him back?
	Oh my!
	That's a monster!
	Sorry!
	Don't worry, that's good.
	He's off.
	That's the biggest fish I've ever caught!
	Oh my god!
	I was...
	Bring it here.
	That was amazing!
	That was amazing.
	I thought I had like an actual That was the most...
	Okay, we gotta set Lila up with the same rig that you have.
	Take this.
	What's the same rig?
	I didn't know how many of them were.
	Then it was the same rig.
	Then we're just set her up in the same way.
	That was awesome!
	No, that's beyond awesome.
	That was amazing, awesome, Blossom.
	Holy.
	Holy.
	Crab apples, yeah.
	Crab apples.
	Seriously, that's...
	A monster.
	That's a monster.
	You don't catch bass all that often in the winter.
	When I saw the head, I literally thought that monsters were real.
	Mom is going to freak out when I send her that picture.
	You haven't sent it yet?
	No, dude.
	I've got to sit Lila up here.
	She wants to catch one.
	Oh my goodness.
	Lila would follow the water if she caught that.
