Time Text
Now we must move boldly into the future, grounded by the principles that have propelled us this far and open to fresh possibilities for the future.
Scripture teaches us that for everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.
My friends, no matter what title...
You all, my colleagues, have bestowed upon me speaker, leader, whip.
There is no greater honor for me than to stand on this floor and to speak for the people of San Francisco.
This I will continue to do as a member of the House, speaking for the people of San Francisco, serving the great state of California, and defending our Constitution.
And with great confidence in our caucus, I will not seek re-election to Democratic leadership in the next Congress.
For me, the hours come for a new generation to lead the Democratic caucus that I so deeply respect.
And I'm grateful that so many are ready and willing to shoulder this awesome responsibility.
There's so many jokes in there.
Look, I'm avoiding the obvious.
Don't make fun of people who have lisps for whatever the reason.
I am a child.
When I hear the word duty, I think Peter Griffin, and in my heart of hearts, I go, meh, duty.
When I hear caucus, yes, I'm a child, people.
I have...
But that's not the purpose of any of this.
I think we can bring this down.
I don't really think we need to see that again.
That's not the purpose of this intro.
Nancy Pelosi...
After 29 years of...
She's either been speaker...
She could not have been speaker for 29 years of whatever position she had.
Will not seek re-election.
She has great faith in the caucus.
And she's quoting scripture?
Okay, that's the part that pissed me off.
The 29 years...
I mean, I don't know how long people can remain in politics.
I understand the arguments for and against term limits.
If someone's doing a good job and their electorate wants to re-elect them over and over again to continue doing a good job, 29 years lining her pockets, getting ahead of ourselves, term limits puts a limit on democracy to some extent.
Term limits also ensure that people don't go into politics as a business and that they go into it as a public service.
I had asked the question, how much has her wealth increased over her 29 years in office?
How much has her wealth increased?
I mean, they're worth, what, $220 million?
Maybe it came from family money that had nothing to do with her time in politics.
Serving the public, whether it's through politics, through advocacy, through charitable work, people who do that Should not make a career in the sense that one does not choose to do that to become multi-millionaires.
It should not be a career that one gets filthy rich from serving the people.
You want to do something that is lucrative?
There's no shame in wealth.
And with great wealth comes great responsibility.
But it's not meant to be a career and it's certainly not meant to make people rich.
Serving the people in politics is a civic, not a civic duty, but it's a civic privilege, honor.
One is not meant to get rich doing it.
So I understand the arguments for and against, but my goodness.
Quoting scripture.
Nancy Pelosi.
Madam, you know, abortion on demand and without apology.
Now we must move boldly.
Is quoting scripture.
Surely into the future.
Boldly.
Grounded by the principles that have propelled us this far and open to fresh, For every season, turn, turn, turn.
Who sings that?
Janis Joplin?
Who sings for every...
Scripture.
I don't have hate in my...
You remember when she was lecturing someone on having hate?
A time for every purpose under heaven.
Scripture.
Coming from someone who most people who truly believe in the scripture and who truly follow the scripture would say is probably the most sacrilegious, if not anti-religious person out there.
See, I knew I forgot to do something.
I forgot to turn monetization on.
Now let's just see if we get demonetized.
Anyway, Nancy Pelosi is not seeking re-election.
To every season, to everything, there is a season.
Who's saying that song?
The birds.
Thank you, thank you.
Holy sweet, merciful goodness, people.
I miss a day of streaming, and there's almost too much to talk about, but better to have too much than too little to talk about.
Yesterday, I was going to talk about Alec Baldwin's counterclaim, cross-claim lawsuit against Mamie Mitchell.
Who's suing him for damages resulting from the Rust incident.
He's also cross-claiming against co-defendants David Hall, Hannah Guterres-Reed, and the third person who I always forget.
I was going to talk about it, but yesterday I did an interview with Megyn Kelly, which is going to air next week, where we talked about all of it in thorough detail.
So if and when there's news, next week I'll cover it.
I want to save the punch and the information in that interview.
For the release of that interview with Megyn Kelly next week, so stay tuned.
That's what I did yesterday.
I did a radio interview as well with Richard Surrett from 690 or 960 Talk Saga in Ontario, talking about Justin Trudeau.
But my goodness, things have developed since Wednesday.
Now, let me just see something.
I'm going to go to my links and make sure.
What do we have on the menu?
Oathkeeper Trial Rhodes winds up, or ends up, winds up?
Is coming to an end today.
And for anybody who's been following it, I have not been following it in thorough detail.
I've been following Julie Kelly, been following Robert Gavea, who have been putting out great information on that.
It's another...
Emergencies Act inquiry type thing.
We all know what's coming out of that trial, but I'm going to bring some stuff to light that some people might not be aware of because above and beyond whether or not this was another Whitmer setup of the Oath Keepers, when you now have disclosed information that leaked to the media or that the media leaked to the public, to the anger and rage of the prosecution.
Revealing that there were FBI informants embedded with the Oatkeepers for a long time before, you know, foiling their seditious conspiracy.
While the FBI simultaneously says we had no advance warning of violence that would occur that day, despite the fact that there were plans on the internet from some people as to what they wanted to do.
While at the same time Capitol Police were understaffed due to COVID, while the Capitol Police Board were neglecting or refusing to call in the National Guard.
There's a word for that.
And it sounds a lot like schmet up or get up.
It's a setup.
A setup in the sense that let's allow something to happen so that we can weaponize it afterwards.
We'll get there.
Elon Musk is causing people to melt down.
Addition by subtraction, people, is one of the greatest equations on earth.
Oh, by the way, if everyone can tweet the link out at Elon Musk for this streaming, maybe he'll watch.
Not that I have anything amazingly insightful to say.
It's amazing.
Seeing the reaction at Twitter from what some people are calling a toxic work environment.
Elon Musk tweeting, sending an email to the team saying, we're going to go hardcore, people.
Work hard.
And if you're not ready to work hard, let us know.
Click yes if you're ready.
No if you're not.
Toxic work environments.
We're going to have to work 40 hours a week?
We might have to bring our own lunch?
At first, charity.
It's unexpected.
Then people are grateful for it.
Then it becomes expected.
And then it becomes resented when it's not there.
We'll get there.
Let me just say this here.
Okay.
We are live now.
Booyah.
We'll talk about that.
We're going to go over the convoy stuff.
We're going to have the senior litigator from the Democracy Fund.
Who is currently making representations before the commission that is carrying on still in Canada.
We're going to talk about that and some cartoon stuff, etc., etc.
But, okay, everything is good.
Everything is in order.
We are live on The Rumbles.
Booyaka shop.
Hold on.
Why I was late, by the way?
I was late for two reasons.
One, I got a prank call from someone in Canada.
And I thought it might have been a police department because it ended in PD and it said Montreal PD or something like that.
And I answered it and it were a couple of kids pranking.
And I told them they need to work on their pranking skills because it was obvious from the beginning it was a prank.
And I had to make sure that the stream had that little box in YouTube that clicked saying this stream and this video contains a paid promotion because it does.
Not just any paid promotion, people.
A good.
Quality product that I have currently running in the other room that I use.
I spoke with the team to make sure that this product is good, quality, scientifically justified so that when I come out here and put my face to a sponsored product, I feel comfortable with it and it's something that I would or do use myself.
Not like, well, I use Bitcoin, but not Bitcoin, not FTX, not being a paid ambassador to a fraud of a product.
EnviroClean's air filtration system.
For anybody who doesn't know that you might need to purify your air, clean the air in your house, if you don't know it, you'll find out, hopefully not the hard way.
For those who do know, filters cost money.
They're not cheap.
And if you're going to spend the money on it, get a good one.
We had one in Canada.
It was a piece of junk.
It basically had nothing but a little filter in the front, filtered off the dust, and that was good.
EnviroClean's filters have a HEPA filter on the front end, and they have a patented technology on the filtration side where once the particles go through the big HEPA filter, bacteria, odors, chemicals get neutralized by the patented filtration system in the product.
Used by the Department of Defense, I can't give more details than that because I don't have more details than that.
Used by the Department of Defense, it is in over 300,000 classrooms across America, and I would love to get it into 300,000 classrooms across Canada if we have that many.
Probably don't have that many.
But in Canada, to get proper air circulation and air quality, children are not forced to open the windows during winter because that's what they were forced to do, if you can believe it, during COVID.
Schools couldn't spend...
The government couldn't spend money on proper air filtration, air circulation in schools, so they were opening windows in winter during COVID to get air circulation.
It's an amazing product, and it works.
And if you go to ekpure.com, Echo Kilo.
Pure.com.
Promo code VIVA.
You'll get 10% off the unit and a free air quality monitor.
It's an expensive unit.
They're all, you know, within a certain price range.
Get a good one and get the good one if you're going to do it.
Rumble's gone.
No, it's not gone.
Rumble is done.
And the air quality monitor will let you know that it's working.
Hey, Rumble's good.
You know that's working.
There is financing options for it.
0% financing for those who qualify.
I don't know the details about that, but that's it.
EKpeer.com, thank you very much also for having the courage to sponsor the hinged, fringed minority with unacceptable views.
And you know what?
To start off today's show, let's start with Canadian Pravda, the Canadian Joseph Goebbels.
People think you can't make analogies to...
Certain analogies to certain periods in history, it is a known fact that governments have propaganda arms.
Whether it's Nazi Germany with Joseph Goebbels, whether it's communist Russia with Pravda, whether it's America with Operation Mockingbird and the New York Times, the government uses media for propaganda purposes.
Canada is not only no different, but arguably exponentially worse.
Arguably exponentially worse.
You know what, actually, let me back this up for a second.
I have since been corrected by Rachel Gilmore, and I take the corrections to absolute heart.
At one point I said, you know, CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation or Company, the CBC and Radio Canada.
Canada's two federally funded news organizations.
Federally funded.
They get like $1.2 billion a year from the federal government to operate.
They get a $1.2 billion from the government to operate.
The steel man of that argument is it's a federal government.
It's either federal liberal or federal conservative.
It's a federal program, comes from the government, regardless of whether or not the government is liberal versus conservative.
Except for a lot of conservatives have said defund the CBC because taxpayers should not be subsidizing media to begin with, and certainly not a media that does not reflect the interests of at least 20% of the population that is compelled to subsidize their activities.
So all that politics aside, Canada has a state-funded media in the CBC and Radio Canada.
They're supposed to be independent.
Good luck trying to bite the hand that feeds you.
Trudeau in 2018 offered a $600 million bailout for Canadian media.
My misunderstanding, which has since been corrected, and this is why I listen to everybody, even people I consider to be state-funded propagandists, I said, okay, you know, I thought the bailout applied to all media, when in reality, that particular $600 million bailout in 2018 only applied to printed media.
So, some digital media did not get any of that $600 million bailout, so it would be technically incorrect to refer to them as subsidized from that bailout if digital media companies, and that they did not get the money, did not get the money.
Let me back up.
Let's rephrase that.
Digital companies that did not get any of that $600 million bailout should not be umbrellaed with the media, the print media that did.
So, the $600 million bailout went to print, I don't know, National Post, Gazette, whatever, but not to digital.
Correction, duly noted.
I've talked a lot about the degree to which government corrupts through direct and indirect subsidizing of the media.
The $600 million was one, but noted, corrected, it does not apply to digital.
What does apply to digital?
The $100 million that the government promised by way of COVID ads, government ads, tax credits, whatever.
There are other direct and indirect ways through which Canadian media Theomodakis is a political satirist.
He's a political cartoonist in Canada.
There's good political cartoonists, some who win awards, some who are insightful throughout history, and then there are others who are such boot-licking Butt-kissing, brown-nosing propagandists.
It's not only that it's not funny, it's actually scary.
Everybody has seen that video now of Justin Trudeau getting his tushy handed to him by President Xi who gave him a public lashing that was so humiliating, so degrading.
It almost looked like it left Justin Trudeau either having pooped his pants, hashtag poopypantsTrudeau, or he hobbled off in shame and disgrace, which he did.
My initial reading of that interaction, I said, oh, she is, you know, you can't tell if she is disgusted or looking at his translator for the translation because he was looking away from Justin Trudeau as Trudeau was spouting off his vomitous platitudes.
I was since corrected on that as well in that...
Apparently, President Xi speaks very, very good English and understands English to the point where he was responding to Trudeau before the translator even translated the English.
I am now then reverting to my initial body language analysis.
Xi was thoroughly disgusted by Justin Trudeau.
So disgusted, he had to look away as though Justin Trudeau physically smelt bad.
Justin Trudeau hobbles off.
That's what happened.
Maybe we have to go see the video after this.
This is how...
Hold on.
Do we bother?
Let's watch the video.
Because you've got to see what actually happened versus how people saw it.
Give me two seconds to pull up the video because it's worth watching again.
It's so over-the-top humiliating.
And I understand the one screen, two films, yada, yada.
There's also one screen, two films because somebody is a liar.
Somebody is a bald-faced, pathological, delusional liar.
And in this case, that's going to be Theo Moudakis.
No, that's not it.
I know I talked about it the other day.
That's not it.
Here we go.
Here we go.
President Xi.
Let's just watch this.
No.
Present here.
Let's watch the original.
And then we'll read the comic.
Everything with the status of the...
Not appropriate.
Not appropriate.
All the way the conversation was conducted.
If there is a whole lot of the way the conversation was conducted.
If there is a whole lot of the way the conversation was conducted.
I'm going to pause at the moment when she's face tells everything and when Justin poops his pants.
If there is sincerity on your path...
There!
Your breath might smell like verbal diarrhea because that's what's coming out of it.
Look at that face right there.
You're actually going to do this to me.
Justin.
And watch the hands.
We'll work constructively together, but there will be things we will disagree on.
You will have to do it.
Hey!
Cut the shit, Justin.
Like a parent to a child who thinks they're getting away with a lie.
Let's create the conditions first.
Someone said, you know, oh, why would he shake his hand if he were so thoroughly disgusted?
Shaking the hand means nothing at the end of that.
That's what happened.
And let's see how...
Let's see how Theo Moudakis, Canadian political satirist who works for the national...
Toronto Star, sorry, the Toronto Star.
Let's see how he saw it.
Oh, for goodness sake, I'm going to have to go down here.
I can't find it now.
Here we go.
This is how Theo Mudakis saw it.
China yelling at Justin Trudeau, sitting there, patient, sleeves rolled up because he's a man of the people.
It's like it's the Obama sleeve roll.
China getting madder.
China blasting off into space.
About time we annoyed the hell out of China.
It is so thoroughly bad.
It's so thoroughly bad that it's nauseating.
It's delusional.
And that's supposed to be the level of political satire, political commentary.
I made a...
Oh, nerds, come on.
I made my own version of it.
I think I might start this thing where I just take Theo Mudakis' comics and then...
And then make my own actually insightful or maybe partially funny version.
This is my version.
Gets chewed up.
I think I'll go beat up some protesters.
I'll feel better after I beat up some protesters.
Because the reality is when people get that humiliated, they do need someone to lash out at.
It's like bullies don't like being bullied.
And when a bully is bullied, the bully needs to go find someone weaker than them that they can...
Take out their frustration.
Oh, mamacita.
But it's just, it's so, so bad.
It's so bad.
It's the left can't mean.
Period.
That's it.
And I say that.
There's some other stuff where I don't make those political distinctions.
The left has great difficulty memeing.
It has great difficulty.
With insightful humor.
Because to have insightful humor, you have to have a certain degree of humility.
You can't take yourself too seriously.
And you have to be able to poke fun at yourself.
And you have to have accurate insights in life.
I got blocked by Theobodakis, by the way.
Of course.
A man can build his life off making political satire cartoons against Donald Trump.
Can't deal with a little needling on the interwebs.
Because I, you know, did say that is Joseph Goebbels' level.
Justin Trudeau propaganda.
Viva, it would be awesome to see you go to a Trump rally.
It's just like a trucker rally, only no corrupted officials.
I'd be game for sure.
Absolutely.
The only reason Justin is tolerated is because he's backed by the WEF.
All right, so that's it.
That's the light stuff of the day.
Let me just go to rumble and see what's going on here.
Nature lovers in the house?
Booyah.
Trudeau deserved it.
This is from Bass X. He'd have been better off testify at the emergency.
Oh, he'd have been better off testify at the emergency.
We'd need elections.
Not that they'll change anything.
Yeah, we'll see.
So, the Emergency Commission, we're going to get the latest updates when the Democracy Fund comes on.
Next week is the last week.
All right, now, do we go over to Rumble right now?
Let's go over to Rumble right now.
There won't be any interruption when we go through the next series of stories.
Elon Musk.
Twitter meltdown.
And what I'm calling work or walk.
Hashtag work or walk.
And it seems like a lot of employees at Twitter are choosing the walk as opposed to the work.
Okay.
Link is there.
Here is the link.
Period.
It is also pinned.
Boom shakalaka.
And let's talk about this.
And this is not to make fun of anybody who's walking out.
The internet will do that for others.
This is to talk about.
Okay, we're going to wind up on Rumble, end up on Rumble, closing up on Rumble right now in 3, 2, 1. Booyah.
Okay, we're good.
Now, I've made the mistake again of wearing a shirt that's going to show sweat, but I wanted to make sure that the camera was focusing, so I said I was going to wear a shirt that had letters on it, so the camera would focus on me and not on the background, so I wouldn't have any blurring in and out.
All right, let's see that we're doing good on Rumble.
A live stream into Trump rally would be cool, says Skeptical59.
Okay, we'll make it happen.
Okay, people.
Elon Musk, Twitter meltdown.
I go to bed last night and everyone's saying rest in peace Twitter.
It was trending.
Rest in peace Twitter was trending.
And I spend a lot of time on Twitter.
I realize now that I use Twitter almost like television.
I don't watch television virtually at all.
And I use Twitter for news and entertainment.
Watching the meltdown because Elon Musk has put out Apparently, there's a leaked email where Elon Musk said we're going to have to work hardcore people, and people are saying this is the most toxic thing they can possibly imagine.
Here, let's get the tweet heard around the world.
Not the tweet, sorry, the email, the leak of which has been heard around the world.
This is it.
Okay, let me just minimize my window here and bring this up.
Okay, here we go.
This is the email.
And this is the other important thing.
People have bits of news and not all of the information.
There's an old expression that some information is more dangerous than none at all.
I'm not sure I believe that, but some information is a variation of none at all.
You have some and you don't have others, and you don't know what you don't have, and yet people still come to hardcore conclusions.
This is a leaked email from November 16th.
From within Twitter.
Elon Musk.
And I had to verify that this was an accurate email.
This is what is being reported in the news.
If it's not accurate, it's not my fault.
It's the best I can do from my office.
Elon Musk to Twitter at Twitter.
A fork in the road.
November 16, timestamp removed.
Thank you.
Going forward to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore.
It's very scary.
This will mean working long hours at high intensity.
Okay, that's scary.
Nobody likes being told they have to work long and hard hours.
They want easy victory, easy money, and no responsibility.
Shut up and pay me.
Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.
This is scary.
Does that mean if I'm not exceptional, I'm going to get fired?
Twitter will also be much more engineering-driven.
Design and product management will still be very important and report to me, but those writing code will constitute the majority of our team and have the greatest sway.
At its heart, Twitter is a software and servers company, so I think it makes sense.
Page two.
Or at least, my page two.
If you are sure that you want to be part of the new Twitter, please click yes on the link below.
Link removed.
Anyone who has not done so by 5 p.m. Eastern Time tomorrow, Thursday, will receive three months of severance.
Whatever decision you make, thank you for your efforts to make Twitter successful.
So there's a number of ways to read this, and one of which is, I'm a lawyer.
If someone's going to say, they want me to work long hours now, and...
This hasn't been my work conditions up until now.
Well, there's a concept in law, in labor law, called constructive dismissal, which is...
Okay, we've gotten...
So I'm going to close this.
We don't need it again.
Constructive dismissal is changing the terms of your employment after contract or in the course of your employment to change them materially so as to basically compel you to quit.
To change your work conditions in a manner not initially provided for or envisioned that deviate from what you were hired to do and then being told if you don't do this, you're going to be fired and then forcing you to quit.
Constructive dismissal basically is you're creating a set of circumstances to justify dismissing somebody and it's unjust and unlawful.
So you're hired to do code.
If they say, oh, you're going to start, you know...
There's an argument there.
And people were freaking out about this because people hear it, read it in a vacuum, and don't know other stuff.
They don't know that there were other correspondence emails that were also leaked.
Such as this one from a week ago from Elon Musk.
The team, sorry that this is my first email to the whole company, but there's no way to sugarcoat the message.
Frankly, the economic picture ahead is dire, especially for a company like ours that is so dependent on advertising in a challenging economic climate.
Moreover, 70% of our advertising is brand rather than specific performance, which makes us doubly vulnerable.
That is why the priority over the past 10 days has been to develop and launch Twitter Blue verified subscriptions, huge props to the team.
They had some rollout problems there, but whatever.
Without significant subscription revenue, there's a good chance Twitter will not survive the upcoming economic downturn.
We need roughly half of our revenue to be subscription.
Changing the business model, it's a way of not being dependent on advertisers, advertiser revenue, and advertiser revenue...
That can coerce a certain message.
That can coerce a certain form of governance.
It's an interesting thing.
When you're beholden to the government, you're no longer free.
When you're beholden to advertisers who then get to say, delete that Hunter Biden story or we're pulling our ads, you're not free either.
And in which case, you're not a receptacle of the government.
Now you're just a receptacle of Adidas.
That being said, if you're reliant on subscriber revenue, it opens up a new exposure, but at least it hedges your bets.
Of course, we will still then be significantly reliant on advertising, so I'm spending time with our sales and partnership team.
Where's the part?
Where's the part?
Oh, here we go.
Starting tomorrow, Thursday, everyone is required to be in the office for a minimum of 40 hours per week.
Obviously, if you are physically unable to travel to an office or have a critical personal obligation, then your absence is understandable.
I look forward to working with you to take Twitter to a whole new level.
The potential is truly incredible.
Thank you.
40 hours a week.
This email came a week before the hardcore email.
Some are going to say it's a conflicting message.
Work long hours and hardcore, but he said 40 hours a week last week.
Some might say that this is all part and parcel of the same...
Zeitgeist of what it means to run a company.
Show up at the office and work 40 hours a week, which I used to be a lawyer.
I'm still a lawyer, but I used to be a practicing lawyer.
That's not that much.
When you're a lawyer and a young lawyer at a big firm, as I was, you're expected to bill anywhere between 1,600 hours if you work at a lucky law firm to 2,000 to 2,200 hours if you work at a big law firm that...
That has high overhead and that needs those billable hours.
You're expected to bill.
Let's just say 1,800 to 2,000 hours a year.
You don't bill for every hour you work.
And some lawyers are more or less efficient.
Some lawyers are more or less, you know, not creative.
What's the word?
Some lawyers are more skilled at billing.
And then for anybody who's been in the industry.
Some people will know some of the dirtier tricks.
It's called double billing.
Being on a train, going somewhere for a client, and then working on that train for another client.
Hey, look at that.
I get an hour for the client for whom I'm traveling and an hour for the client for whom I'm working.
Some firms have ethical issues with double billing.
Set that aside.
You're expected to bill 1,800 hours a year.
You have to work a lot more than that to get that done.
40 hours a week is a standard work week.
So this follow-up email talking about going hardcore, maybe trying to get people motivated, encouraged, also just testing out the field.
Who is going to say yes to this and who's going to say no?
Because if you say no, I don't want to work hard.
I don't want to make sure that this company that has been paying me for the last 10 years continues to succeed.
That's called being a liability and not being an asset.
He said a minimum of 40 hours a week.
True.
That's Pap Mom.
A minimum.
I presume that, depending on the obligations, other people might have to work more than that.
So that's the context.
That email comes out, and there's an exodus.
Everyone's going to leave.
The coding team is going to leave.
Good luck running this company, Elon.
And now...
I'm bringing this video up not to make fun of the guy.
I've reached out to him via Twitter.
I've followed him so that I can DM him.
Because I would love to have a discussion with this individual.
So the guy posted this video.
And by his subsequent explanations, I do believe...
Oh, is it unavailable?
Hold on.
30 seconds left.
35 seconds.
Oh, he's got his thing.
Everybody here?
We're all about to get fired from Twitter.
I've been nine years and nine months now.
Same with you.
How long were you here?
Four years.
Four years?
Nine years and a month.
It's almost a decade.
No, no, he was after.
Ten seconds.
Because they're not clicking yes on that email, I think.
Seven, six, five.
Four, three, two, one, zero.
Happy New Year!
Yay!
Hooray, that's a lot of pomp and circumstance.
Okay.
Yeah, oh yeah, let's try the badges.
30 seconds left.
I've reached out to him, Miller.
I'd love to have him on to discuss this.
I look at him and I genuinely see someone who's upset and distraught.
At the decision they are making, because I presume everybody not clicking on the yes and undertaking to be hardcore and work for the success of the company that has employed them for the last mere decade are going to be quitting or firing.
It'll be interesting.
Are they quitting or are they being fired?
Either way, I presume a lot of states are you can fire at any time with reasonable notice and maybe even some places not.
Are they firing?
Are they being fired or are they quitting if they say, I'm not going to do the job that I was hired to do?
Because now someone's describing it as hardcore, long, you know, do your job.
Make sure this company succeeds.
I want to know the rationale behind that.
It's the idea that you get a job based on expectations that you do something.
You keep the job based on doing those expectations and you thrive at that job by exceeding expectations.
Nobody's going to willingly fire an asset to a company.
No one's going to fire an asset to a company.
I mean, look, I only ran on my own a small law firm.
I've worked for the man.
When you work for somebody else, you're making money for somebody else.
That's the nature of the business.
It's the nature of the beast.
And it's not a good thing.
It's not a bad thing.
It's a bad thing for some people.
It's a good thing for other people.
Some people don't want to have to worry about payroll, about taxes, deductions at sources.
Some people don't want to have to worry about hiring, firing, paying expenses, collecting invoices.
Some people don't want to worry about that.
They want their check.
They'll do what they need to do.
They'll grind away.
And they don't want to deal with the uncertainty of running a business.
They're going to make money for the person who is prepared to take those risks.
It's not a good thing.
It's not a bad thing.
Everyone has their place in life.
Some people don't want to sit there taking orders from other people.
Some people want to be the wild dog that doesn't have the collar around its neck.
With that comes more responsibility and more freedom.
I used to work at a law firm.
It was 1,800 bucks billable, 1,800 hours a year billable.
If you exceeded that, you could get a bonus based on whatever you exceeded it by.
But you're still making money for the partners before you're making money for yourself.
And at some point you say, if I can do this on my own, why wouldn't I do this on my own?
Make more money for myself, have more freedom, et cetera, et cetera.
Then you go out on your own.
And you're like, holy crap.
I've got to pay rent.
I've got to organize with the government.
I've got to take government safety courses if we have employees.
I've got to issue my own invoices.
I've got to prepare my own invoices.
I've got to collect on my own invoices.
I've got to potentially go after people who don't pay my invoices.
Some people don't want that.
I've got to go find clients.
I've got to mine clients.
And I've still got to do the law stuff.
So that's, I mean...
That's the idea.
They're going to quit now at a time when there seems to be a downturn in the economy, to put it mildly, because they don't want to work hard to make sure the company that they're working for, that they've worked for for the last decade, that has supported their life for the last decade, continues to succeed.
It's an interesting thing.
There's the legal side to it.
Is someone changing the terms of contracts of employment and insisting that they work more hours than they We're hired to work?
Is it a case of constructive dismissal?
Have they just gotten too used to the lax application of what had been the case for the last couple of years?
Working from home, you know, four or five hours a day.
I've heard the stories.
I don't know the confirmation as to what work life was actually like at Twitter.
I'd love to know.
Mr. Miller, I'm not an asshole.
I may come off as a bit of a jerk on Twitter, but I'm not.
Come on and we'd have a great discussion.
I would suggest you not read the chat as we do it, but that's the internet, that's not me.
And I want to understand what the work environment was like, is like now, and the rationale behind these decisions.
Clicking yes, I commit to this company, to working for it, and not having the company work for me, basically.
At some point, when the person who takes all the risk, has all the extra obligations of running the business, says, I'm not working for you.
And if you think you can do it better on your own, go do it.
And Godspeed and good luck.
We'll see what happens with all these people who are not only making the decision to do this, but some of them are doing it in manners that display poor judgment, in my humble opinion.
Not Miller in particular.
Other people have displayed worse judgment in the manner in which they've done it.
Let's see what we got in the chat here.
They got spoiled, says Nature Lover Freedom.
There are different, let's see, JP Mercier, there are different ways to work for yourself with or without employees.
Depends on the sector and much income you can generate alone, rules and laws, etc.
All that I can tell you is that the greatest freedom of working for yourself as a lawyer is being able to tell a client, no, thank you, have a good, go find another lawyer.
That is the greatest pleasure.
The other greatest pleasure is being able to take whatever client you want.
I remember working at the big firms.
I could get clients, but they were very, you know, they're small clients.
I go to a...
I could make a client wherever I went.
I went to an apple orchard, made a client.
Then you take it to the law firm.
They got to run conflict checks.
They're like, well, how much is this file worth?
I don't know.
$20,000, $50,000?
That's not enough.
If we take that file, it might conflict us out of another one that would be worth much more than that.
It's not worth it.
Stick to the institutional clients.
That's the nature of the beast.
You go out on your own.
No client too small.
You can taper your billing or decide who you work for less for.
And you can say, yes, no, bugger off.
I don't want to deal with you anymore.
I will not do that, period.
Then you have to worry about actually paying employees before you pay yourself.
Paying rent before you pay yourself.
I'm not your buddy guy says, this is unrelated, but man, it was great seeing you on Tim's version of The Office reporting on certain...
Election integrity measures for Ian Crossland.
Oh, that was funny.
On TimCast, they made a vlog and I had a cameo in it.
I always feel weird acting, but that wasn't really acting.
It was just substituting the words of corruption for different words.
Anyway, so that's it.
But that's far.
Twitter is running smoothly.
It's interesting.
Addition by subtraction is you get rid of the dead weight or the dead weight gets rid of itself.
You get rid of the toxic elements.
I read a study.
I forget where it was.
It was basically like having a toxic employee is more destructive than having two useless employees who are easy to get along with.
So you pay one person to ruin the environment.
It's more destructive than paying two people not to ruin the environment.
But we'll see what happens.
Anyways, that's it.
There are no more stories on that one.
Oh, well, here's a legal side of Twitter.
Oh, this is so good.
AOC's Twitter account is effectively real-life parody.
Let me see here.
Oh, did I bring it up?
AOC's Twitter account.
Let me see here.
I have to bring up one tweet because it's just...
She makes a tweet, and unless you know that it's not a parody account, it would make more sense if it were parody.
Yeah, hold on, hold on.
Let me get it.
Let me get it.
I think it was yesterday.
No, it wasn't 19 hours ago.
AOC tweeted.
This is it right here.
All right, look at this.
And then we're going to get into a meaningful story.
Here we go.
This is the original tweet.
If only we had taxed the rich, maybe none of this would have happened.
I don't know what she means by that.
I don't know what that's in response to, but I think it has to be related to Twitter.
I don't know.
If only we had taxed the rich, maybe none of this would have happened.
It's predicated on the idea that we haven't taxed the rich yet.
And then I just said, I have to fix this.
This is fixed now.
Now the tweet makes sense.
And I was happy with myself for that.
To poke a little fun at AOC, that's one thing.
But people complaining about Twitter now as though there weren't issues before or that they take issues now with things that they never took issue with before.
Don't get to the punchline yet.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Virtue signaling to the next level.
There was a good meme response of...
There was a good meme response to this.
Virtue signaling of the highest order.
Because what is AOC doing with this tweet?
Let me read it out to you.
Shout out to all the workers at Twitter.
You all built a vital place for connection and deserve so much better.
Millions of people appreciate the space you built and the hard work that went into it.
Thank you.
AOC is publicly acting like the boss that she thinks Elon Musk should be.
AOC is the good boss.
Thanking her employees.
They're not hers, but she's taking the moment to thank employees who are not her own as though she...
If I were your boss, I would let you know.
We love you.
You've built a beautiful, vital place for connection and deserve so much better.
Millions of people appreciate the space you built.
And the hard work that went into it.
I have no doubt that millions appreciated the place that they built because they ended up using it as basically their own political piggy bank by cutting out the people they didn't like, by banning the accounts they didn't like.
But more important than that, because some people don't seem to know it, by not removing child pornography that they knew was on the platform.
I covered this lawsuit a while back.
It's John Doe's one through whomever suing Twitter because there was sexually explicit material of them as minors on the platform that Twitter was not taking down.
We talked about the lawsuit.
There's a known problem within Twitter of child pornography.
There's a bunch of other nasty stuff on Twitter that, though legal, Certain sexual stuff is okay on Twitter.
Trump's Twitter account is not okay on Twitter.
AOC, you built a safe place.
Except for that pesky little stuff where you didn't take down what you knew was a problem.
Oh, but Jay God, you deserve so much better.
As chiefs...
Censor chief Vijay Gad is fired.
Read how Twitter had refused to take down child porn even as victims' parents begged for its removal.
On Friday, the head of legal policy, trust, and safety, Vijay Gad was booted out of service by the company's new owner, Elon Musk.
She spent 11 years on the social media giant, had earned the distinction of being the, quote, censor chief of Twitter.
She was responsible for terminating the Twitter account of U.S. President Donald Trump and killing the Hunter Biden story.
Which impacted voting in the 2020 elections.
However, during her tenure, Twitter failed to remove videos of child sexual abuse despite repeated requests by the minor victim and his parents.
Eliza Blue was covering this.
I covered it at the time.
I just want to make sure we're reading the same thing.
We are.
Reminder, a 13-year-old survivor begged Twitter to remove a video sexually exploiting him.
Twitter reviewed the content and said no.
They had his government ID showing that he was a minor at the time.
The video had over 160,000 views, over 2,000 retweets.
But AOC wants to come out and just, this is what you should do, Elon.
This is how you run a company.
Thank you all.
It's a great place for connection.
Some people were making connections that they shouldn't have been making.
On Twitter.
Through material that should have been removed and that wasn't removed.
To the knowledge.
To the knowledge of the company.
JoJo2Q2Q says, yes, stop feeding the trolls.
I've learned to stop.
Today I gave it a chance.
Today I went and I started reading some of the replies from the accounts that I have muted on my Twitter feed.
Every single time I open one, I'm reminded of why I muted them in the first place.
Yeah, and by the way, I do mute people.
They can still continue to tweet away.
I just wish, Elon, if you're watching this, you know what?
You might be watching this because I want to clip it afterwards.
A function that allows the account to, on their own Twitter feed, just put a little sticker, a checkmark, some form of identification of, People who have proven themselves to be trolls in the eyes of the account holder.
It would only work on one person's feed.
So for me, if I mute somebody, I would like other people to know that I've muted them.
But I wouldn't even mute them.
I would just like to have a sticker that I've labeled this person in this feed as a troll.
Everyone else, you're free to engage.
You're free to tweet troll.
But everyone else should know that they are potentially wasting their time by engaging with you because it's disingenuous discourse.
A tag, a label for troll.
And it would only be good on the Twitter feed of the account that has labeled them as such.
And if people think that the account is wrongly labeling people, they shall suffer in their following.
If they think that they are being rightly labeled, it would be a benefit to everyone.
It would allow people not to block, not to mute, but just let everybody else know, fair warning, the person you might be dealing with now has been deemed by the holder of this Twitter feed to be a bonafide troll.
Proceed accordingly.
I like the idea, if I do say so myself.
Instead of a blue check, give out a troll trophy.
Give both!
Let a Twitter handle reward people in their own feed and identification markers that are only good in that person's feed.
So maybe the person is only on VivaFry to be a troll on VivaFry, but contributes greatly to discourse on Brian Stetler's Twitter feed.
Maybe.
Okay, Brian Stetler can identify him or her.
Another way.
That is some G-A-Y-S-H-I-T, molten salt.
I don't know if you're talking about my idea, but if you are, sir, I am shocked and offended.
If I could block you, I would, and I'm joking.
Okay.
I think that's the latest of what's going on on Twitter.
It's fun drama.
And let me see something.
I've got to make sure that my guest is not in the backdrop.
So the Democracy Fund is coming at one point.
Okay, so we've done Twitter.
I don't think there's anything more of legal interest or newsworthy interest of Twitter, but let me just see in my...
Oh, there is one last story that's interesting.
It's funny.
When Twitter toes the line, when Twitter acts as a good government mouthpiece...
No problem.
Censor the Hunter Biden story.
No problem.
Flag this channel for this account for misinformation, COVID or you criminal.
No problem.
The second they don't, well, then you find out the degree to which the government are just legalized criminals.
Ed Markey.
Ed Markey, people.
U.S. Senator for Massachusetts, chair of subcommittees on clean air, climate, and nuclear safety, and on East Asia and the Pacific, fighting for a Green New Deal.
His avatar has a face mask.
His banner has him speaking in front of people with face masks, and he's not wearing a face mask.
And they're outside!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
And they're outside.
What was it?
Like 0.1% of transmission came from outdoor transmission?
Just make it make sense.
Make it make sense.
It only makes sense because they are vapid, soulless, virtue-signaling liars.
He's fighting for a Green New Deal.
He must be for the people.
He's wearing a face mask.
He must be so thoughtful.
Oh, and what's that when big tech doesn't do what I say?
I'm going to sick the power of the government on you to investigate you as a retaliatory reprisal for noncompliance.
Twitter is already on privacy probation.
Well, as of this moment, they're going to be on double secret privacy probation.
Animal House, classic.
Twitter is already on privacy probation, and we're seeing fresh chaos every day.
Do go on.
Fresh chaos?
That you have potentially a bunch of whiny babies quitting their job because they don't want to work 40 hours a week?
Potentially.
Maybe they have good reasons.
Maybe the environment is toxic for reasons other than Count Dankula had...
What did Count Dankula change?
It was a massive penis or giant penis.
Count Dankula, when people were allowed changing their profiles to troll parody accounts, changed his handle.
It's a giant penis.
And then Elon Musk suspended Twitter Blue and Count Dankula was stuck with the handle giant penis for a couple of weeks.
Flagrant false advertising.
Get the FTC on him for that.
That's why I'm joining Senator Blumenthal.
Just going to take a guess here.
Let's just see here.
Senator Blumenthal, official Twitter account, U.S. Senator Blumenthal, proudly working for the people of Connecticut.
Hashtag enough.
In asking the FTC to investigate any breach of Twitter's consent decree or other violations.
Do you know what this means?
Not to investigate the alleged breach.
Not to investigate an incident.
To investigate any incident or any other violations.
We don't even know if they exist.
We'll find them.
Show me the man and I'll find you the crime.
This is nothing shy of statutory...
Governmental reprisals, retaliation for a company that had hitherto been getting comfortable with the government and is now saying, I'm not so comfortable with the government.
No company is above the law and must answer to the FTX.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, I didn't mean the FTX.
I meant FTC.
No company is above the law and Twitter must answer to the FTC.
No company is above the law.
FTX is asking you to hold its beer.
But we'll see.
Maybe they're not above the law.
Maybe the Democrats are going to investigate an entity that funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into the Democrat race.
Maybe they will.
Maybe they will.
Maybe I'll be surprised.
They're going to discover their soul.
And...
RealTruth22 says, Get off Twitter, Vives.
Viva, you are officially diagnosed as being addicted to Twitter.
I won't say that I'm addicted to Twitter, but I use it for a number of reasons.
It's a running diary of the times.
I get my information from there.
And yes, I pick fights with people who I think say stupid things.
Is that my dog?
Listen to this.
Do you guys hear that?
There's a dog that comes by around this time every day.
Pudge has never met her.
I don't know if you can hear that.
Anyway, so I like Twitter.
I like it.
I'm not giving it up.
I don't have a problem.
You have a problem.
All right.
That'll end it for Twitter.
Now, we're going to go back to some Canadian stuff because I see Mark Joseph, senior counsel from the Democracy Fund, going to give us the latest.
Do I need to give the rundown of what's going on in Canada?
We're entering the last week of the commission, the Emergencies Inquiry Commission, the Emergencies Act Inquiry Commission.
The Public Order Emergencies Commission to look into the circumstances surrounding the invocation, Justin Trudeau, invocation of the Emergencies Act.
I have been following it en diagonale, as we say in French, and I'm running that as a day-long live stream on Viva Clips and on Rumble.
But I'm going to bring in Mark right now, and he's going to give us the latest.
Mark, three, two, one.
Sir, how goes the battle?
Good.
Thanks for having me, David.
All right.
It's pixelated, but your audio is good, and that's all that we need for now.
All right, Mark.
So for those who haven't met you now two or three times, who are you?
What do you do in life?
And then I got some questions about the state of the commission.
Sure.
So I'm Senior Litigation Counsel of the Democracy Fund.
We're a...
A civil liberties organization and a charity that defends people who have had their civil liberties infringed.
And we are a party together with two other organizations at the Public Order Emergency Commission.
And we're attempting to hold the government to account for their declaration of a public order emergency.
All right.
Now, so I've clarified this before, not representing any specific party, just having your position heard.
It's Keith Wilson, JCCF, that are representing some of the Convoy members, the Convoy corporate entity in and of itself.
The last time you were on, it was a week ago to the day, right?
It was last Friday?
I think so, yeah.
And the big bombshell document of that week's inquiry was the transcript of a conversation between Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, in which...
Trudeau basically says, look, these protesters are not very smart in that they're protesting and acting in a way that's against their interests.
Ford, provincially, you have everything you need to resolve this issue.
Do it.
And that's five days before Trudeau invokes the Emergencies Act.
What have been the latest developments this week?
And has there been anything remotely or remotely bombshellish or equally interesting?
Well, I would say so.
We heard from Jody Thomas, who is the National Security and Intelligence Advisor, and she came out with the position that the government is now taking that the meaning of the public order emergency and the reference to the threats to the security of Canada As outlined in the Emergencies Act and then the CSIS Act,
has another meaning, apart from the meaning attributed to it in the Acts, and that's how they were able to declare a public order emergency.
That was hinted at by, I think it was the Deputy Minister Stewart earlier in the week, but now it's come to the fore that this is the government's new legal position.
Which I, I mean, for myself, I was a little bit shocked to hear that because it's a novel interpretation of the statute.
And it's different than saying we have all the evidence to establish that there was a threat to security of Canada.
That's different.
I think they're backing off that because there was very little of that we heard from the law enforcement agencies and CSIS.
They're now saying that we are adopting an expanded definition of a public order emergency and a threat to the security of Canada.
And that's how we were able to declare this public order emergency.
So that was shocking.
Yeah, well, let me ask you that.
The question is, did they decide that before or after they declared it, they invoked the Emergencies Act?
Well, I mean, they would have to decide it before.
They declared the public order emergency and then used that as a justification.
So they used their new interpretation of the legislation as justification for declaring the public order emergency.
I think that's what they're saying.
Now, we haven't heard their lawyers make this argument yet.
We've been told by Jody Thomas that we can expect to hear this legal argument from Government of Canada lawyers.
So we haven't heard it yet, but it's out there now.
And I guess I've asked your sentiment.
Nobody's getting any impression from Commissioner Rouleau as to what he thinks of all of this.
He doesn't seem to be taking very kindly to any reaction from the crowd.
Do you have an inkling as to which way he's leaning in his appreciation of all this evidence?
Well, he's a Court of Appeal judge, so he's got a pretty good poker face.
He's a fair guy.
He has a lot of experience, particularly because he's court of appeal with statutory interpretation, which is going to be important, apparently, given this novel interpretation that the government is now offering.
But he hasn't really shown his hand, no.
And now that a lot of people are asking, I've said it a few times, but the bottom line, first of all, what happens next week now?
So next week is the last week of the commission?
That's right.
And do you know the schedule of witnesses for next week as of yet?
Well, I can say that the only witnesses we have left are the big guns, right?
So we hear the executive now.
We hear Bill Blair, Prime Minister Trudeau, Minister Medicino.
So those are the only ones left.
That's what I can say.
So I would expect to hear those guys.
I just kicked my camera.
Is it confirmed?
Like, Trudeau is now gallivanting up in Bali.
Does he come back?
Or is he going to do it remotely if he does it?
Or is he just not going to testify?
Well, I mean, I expect him to testify.
I don't know why he wouldn't be there.
Maybe he does it remotely.
I'm not sure.
But, you know, unless something changes, I would expect Prime Minister Trudeau to give testimony next week, yes.
Okay, I will guaranteed livestream that on the main channel with reaction.
Mendicino, remind the crowd who may not know who Mendicino is.
I'll preface it, he's a liar.
I know maybe you won't say it in so many words.
He's a liar.
He's the guy that said there were threats of rape of people by the protesters.
But who is Mendicino and do we know the object of his testimony?
So he's the Minister of Public Safety.
So, I should know that, but I actually had to collect just to make sure.
So, we would expect to hear his testimony about how the public was not safe.
And that's his job, right?
So, you know, his job is to ensure that, you know, the Canadian public is made safe nationally.
So, sure, he's, I would expect, able to give us some testimony and some insight with respect to...
Why the Canadian government believed that the Canadian people were unsafe nationally given the existence of these protests.
That's what I would expect to hear him say.
But, you know, some of these witnesses have been gone off script.
So, you know, I'm not sure.
And the ultimate outcome of all of this next week is the last week of testimony.
What happens after that?
Are there closing arguments after witnesses are done?
And what's the process after that?
I believe there is some parties get to state their positions.
So it's a bit like a trial in that respect, I believe.
And then Justice Rouleau retires and he will study the evidence and the material and the arguments.
And then he will make findings.
About the conditions that gave rise to the declaration of emergency.
So he's not going to give a verdict of guilty or not guilty.
He's just going to make some recommendations we would expect.
Sorry about that.
My internet.
It was fixed two days ago and I think I have another problem that has to be fixed now.
Okay, we're smooth, and let me just check my internet speed test as we do this.
Okay, now we're fast.
Okay, sorry.
So I missed what you said there, and I think other people might have as well.
Yeah, so I was just saying that Justice Rouleau, after hearing all of the submissions and the evidence, will retire and then study everything he's heard, and then...
Publish a document that makes some recommendations.
He's not going to make findings of guilt or innocence.
That's not his job.
That's not his mandate.
But we will get his views on the circumstances that led up to the declaration of the emergency.
And we might hear his views on how things should change in future.
Because obviously...
Declaring a public order emergency is a fairly consequential act, and everyone wants to make sure that it's done properly and it only occurs rarely.
All right.
Excellent.
You're going back to court this afternoon.
Do you guys have any witnesses to examine?
I'm not sure if Alan Haunter, he's the litigation director.
I'm not sure if he will be making...
He will be crossing anyone he crossed earlier today, crossed the panel of witnesses.
He may return.
I'm not sure.
But we'll be back in analyzing the submissions and updating on our website, thedemocracyfund.ca, and then at Twitter, tdf underscore can.
All right.
Awesome.
Mark, thank you very much.
Oh, God.
I'm predicting it now.
Trudeau's not going to testify.
But even watching Mendocino squirm, because he won't squirm in chief.
He'll squirm in cross.
I'll be...
I'll be tweeting out questions in real time, but we'll follow up next week and let me know what happens.
All right.
Thanks for having me, David.
All right.
Thank you.
See you soon.
Bye.
Let's take bets, people.
Place your bets.
Is Trudeau going to testify at the commission?
One for yes, two for no.
Yes, he will testify.
No, he will not.
He's not going to testify.
There is...
I'll eat my words.
Now that I talk about it out loud, though, if he doesn't testify, it'll just be too embarrassing.
Unless he's got a damn good reason for not testifying.
COVID!
He's going to get COVID for a third time.
I said one was yes, two was no.
Oh, cripe.
Was one yes or was two no?
I'll watch it back.
It's a unanimous two, whatever that was.
I think two has to be no, he's not going to testify.
I beat Viva in the chat that FJT will not testify, DVR Mark.
Okay, good.
Yeah, he's not going to testify.
He'll stay in Bali.
I was going to go to a...
Okay, I'm testing the internet again.
My upload...
No, testing download speed is saying 330, give or take, megabits per second.
That's good.
Upload speed is 255.
Can you imagine that my problem the entire time has been something that I just didn't know until somebody came by to tell me what the problem was?
Upload is too...
Internet now is not going to be a problem.
Damned.
Okay, we're good.
We're good anyhow.
Okay, I'm...
You know what?
Let me just go tweet it out now.
I'm going to tweet it out right now.
My prediction...
Justin...
Justin Trudeau will not testify at the hashtag POEC because he is a coward.
Ha ha ha ha ha That is what you call a win-win bet.
Even if I lose, I win.
Okay.
But before we get off the Canadian subject, you heard Mark talk about the...
Absurd interpretation of the Emergencies Act, the replacement to the War Measures Act.
Wait until you hear the police talk about this.
This is from the True North, worth a follow.
Listen to this, people.
...reported that the situation in Windsor...
ENSIA reported that the situation in Windsor...
Remains very fluid with law enforcement having begun to take action.
In Ottawa, we're seeing a significant escalation in the boldness of protesters.
So just stopping there, what does that mean?
What was that observation?
Yeah, we were hearing this from the OPS and Intersect, and certainly, again, social media and media.
Just wait for this.
They were, bouncy castles had happened.
It's not, I'm telling you, I thought this was a deep fake.
They're talking about having invoked the Emergencies Act.
And I think she's...
I don't know who the witness is right now.
Oh, National Security...
I'm sorry.
National Security Advisor.
Bouncy castles had happened.
Oh, come on.
Is the internet not working now?
What the fudge?
Come on, man.
Let me see.
No, my internet's fine.
Okay, press play.
Now it's on mute again.
...enforcement having begun to take action.
In Ottawa, we're seeing a significant escalation in the boldness of protesters.
So just stopping there, what does that mean?
What was that observation?
Yeah, we were hearing this from the OPS and Intersect, and certainly, again, social media and media.
They were, bouncy castles had happened.
Bouncy castles had happened.
The view that they were here to stay.
That they had zero regard for the citizens of Ottawa?
They had zero regard for the citizens of Ottawa.
We've heard in testimony that a substantial portion of Ottawa, or a not irrelevant portion of Ottawa, supported them.
So the citizens of Ottawa who supported the protest did not have regard for the citizens of Ottawa who supported the protest.
Bouncy castles had happened.
That social media was talking more and more about...
Aggressive action to stay, holding the line, dig in.
It was just a change in tone that was noted.
And sometimes changes are subtle.
It was changes in tone in the passive that were noted.
Who noted them?
I don't know.
They were just noted.
You have to pay attention to them.
You have to pay attention to them.
We saw more people on the street that weekend than we had anticipated.
And fewer people were leaving at the end of the day.
A raucous atmosphere was extending later into the evening.
A raucous atmosphere.
We saw things like the Wrecking Ball on Wellington Street by then.
The Wrecking Ball was a crane that had a Canadian flag on it and a small crane in the middle of Wellington.
I mean, you've seen it.
It was where they were having music.
They had people talking on a stage.
The Wrecking Ball.
I came in like a...
Oh my God.
The Wrecking Ball.
It was this big, by the way.
But it was a crane.
And so there was just a change in the forcefulness of the tone.
And did that have an effect on your assessment of the situation?
Yes, it led me to believe that the Emergencies Act was the only way to get rid of these bouncy castles and to change the tone.
Well, you were also hearing...
The increased low level of violence, the...
Lie.
By the way, you know how I knew...
I knew it was a lie before I heard the second half of the sentence.
We were hearing the low level violence.
Listen to this.
Fears of the citizens of Ottawa.
The honking continued.
The fears.
Let's play that again.
Level of violence.
The situation.
You're also hearing...
The increased low level of violence, the fears of the citizens of Ottawa, the honking continued despite the injunction.
What became apparent to us as we were assessing the situation is that this wasn't breaking up.
Well, Justin Trudeau came in and broke it up.
I mean, it's an international disgrace.
It's an international disgrace.
The low level of...
We heard low level violence.
Lie, lie, and lie.
The fear of the citizens.
Okay.
My freedom does not end where your fear begins.
Oh my goodness.
Okay.
Oh, I almost...
I forgot.
Un-fucking-believable says JoJo 2Q2Q.
Oh, my goodness.
Martza says, people were losing their jobs and businesses, but yes, Ottawa's imagined fears were worth the Emergencies Act shattering confidence in Canada.
This is Trudeau's National Security Advisor, peeps.
That comes from Bub123.
Holy she at.
Increased low-level violence actually does not pass logic or common-sense rules, says Real Truth.
It's a joke.
It's a joke that shall be snipped and clipped and shared on social media.
But I almost forgot to do it, but I have it in the backdrop.
I forgot to mention it in the title.
Meanwhile, while Justin Trudeau is shredding the Canadian Charter, while he's...
Desecrating and not desiccating, but defecating on the rights and liberties of Canada, on the economic future of Canada.
They're off in Bali at the B20 to the G20.
B to the G. The other day, we saw Klaus Schwab.
We saw Klaus Schwab.
He was giving his speech at the G20, the B20.
The B20 is the business 20, and it leads into the G20.
I mean, it's just like this.
People don't even know that this is happening because I didn't know that it was happening until intelligent, educated members of our network and community said, Viva, have you seen this?
Have I brought it up?
I haven't brought it up yet.
Viva, have you seen this?
It's...
From the White House.
It's legit.
The G20 Bali Leaders Declaration.
Bali, Indonesia, 15 to 16 in November 2022.
14 years ago, the leaders of the G20 met for the first time, facing the most severe financial crisis in our generation.
Do you know why that financial crisis occurred?
It was because of...
Corporate corruption and political corruption.
The housing crisis, the bubble burst of 2008, occurred because of government not being aware of a problem.
I'm oversimplifying just for the point.
The problem occurred because of the government and because of big corporations.
That's why it occurred.
Big banks lumping together Garbage.
That they were then selling, knowing it was garbage.
Oddly enough, very reminiscent in style and structure to the FTX collapse.
And then they get the big government and say, we've got to bail you guys out with taxpayer dollars because you've been selling worthless assets.
I'm not even going to go into it because I'll probably misdescribe it.
But the problem occurred because of government incompetence and big corporation corruption.
So they meet.
They decide to give themselves more power.
We recognized as large global economies that collectively we carry responsibilities and that our cooperation was necessary to global economic recovery, to tackle global challenges, and lay a foundation for strong, sustainable, balanced, and inclusive growth.
What the hell does that mean?
We designated the G20 the Premier Forum.
The Premier Forum for Global Economic Cooperation.
Do you know what global economic cooperation really means?
New world order.
It sounds crazy to say it.
Global economic cooperation is one government, new world order in a euphemism to try to pull the wool over everybody's eyes.
And today we reaffirm our commitment to cooperate as we once again.
Address serious global economic challenges, all of which have been caused by or exacerbated by the government and big pharma or big tech or big companies.
Okay, so it goes on.
It goes on.
We met in Bali for an unparalleled multidimensional crisis.
It's a great thing that they've exacerbated that crisis as much as possible.
It gives them something to talk about.
We have experienced the devastation brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sorry, the devastation we caused in our response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And other challenges, including climate change.
Oh, just get used to the idea of climate change being dealt with, addressed with, and phrased in the exact same way as the COVID-19 pandemic, with all of the same policy and usurpations of individual liberty.
We've also witnessed the war in Ukraine further adversely impact the global economy.
It's just a shame that we've been egging that war on for the last nine months.
It goes on.
It goes on and on and on and most people aren't going to read it.
But I did.
There was one portion of it which I found interesting.
We'll get to the good part.
What section was this?
19. Section 19. We remain committed.
Let me make sure that we're in the right thing.
We are.
We remain committed to promoting a healthy and sustainable recovery, which builds toward achieving and sustaining universal health coverage under the SDGs.
I forget what the SDG is now.
Universal health coverage, because it's working so well in Canada, they're promoting euthanasia, you know.
As a mitigation factor.
It's not a stated objective.
It's a mitigation factor.
It's just an unfortunate consequence.
It's cheaper.
It'll alleviate the burden of the healthcare system.
We can't provide the care that you need.
Have you thought about suicide?
While the COVID-19 pandemic is not over, it will never be over if the government has their way.
The World Health Organization, the very same one that has...
Misled, lied to, and arguably and potentially even been the source or cause of this, the WHO has recently declared monkeypox as another public health emergency international concern.
A fake.
It's a faking emergency, I tell you.
All right, monkeypox.
Get ready for monkeypox vaccine passports if you want to travel.
Get on a plane.
Forget the known risk factors for COVID.
Forget the known, vulnerable people for COVID, the underlying health conditions that cause severe COVID death.
Forget that.
Everybody.
Everybody will be dealt with in the same manner.
Forget the activities that make people susceptible for monkeypox.
No comment, no judgment for the purposes of this point that I'm making.
Forget where monkeypox and how monkeypox is spread.
It's a fake!
It's a fake emergency, I tell you.
Public health emergency, international concern.
Reinforcing that international health threats are ever-present and that the G20 and broader global community, New World Order, must come together to improve our collective prevention, preparedness, and response capability.
We reaffirm the importance of strengthening of national health systems by putting people...
What the hell does this even mean?
This is like you ask a high school student to kill as many words as possible in a book review.
Equip them to respond effectively.
We emphasize the need for equitable access to pandemic medical countermeasures and welcome the efforts of Act A. And note that the results of Act A, external evaluation, can be useful lessons for future...
It's up.
Wait a minute.
I think this has to be from the same section if I put it there.
We support the work of the intergovernmental negotiating body, New World Order, one world government, that will draft and negotiate a legally binding instrument that should contain both legally binding and non-legally binding elements to strengthen pandemic PPR.
What was PPR?
And the working group on the international health regulations that will consider amendments to the international health regulation, mindful that the decision will be made by World Health Assembly.
Am I a conspiracy theorist for saying this is the new world order, the one world government coming together at the G20 to say we are going to make collaboration?
It's collaboration of Of a threat that will always be there because we will never let it go away.
And if it's not COVID-19 variation, E3, BORF, VCA, whatever, it's monkeypox.
Then it's going to be monkeypox variants.
We'll find the crisis to ensure that we need to meet next year at G20.
Maybe it'll be in Switzerland next year, Davos, so that we can collaborate, make international norms.
Turn nation states into World Health Organization states.
That was one part that I found interesting.
The war was not meant to be won.
It was meant to be permanent.
Perpetual.
Whatever the hell.
You know the thing.
You know the thing.
We beat Big Pharma, says WTF-IT.
What the fuck is the...
WTF-ITWCT.
What the fudge?
What is this world coming to?
What the F is the world coming to?
Yes!
Someone tell me I'm smart.
Come on.
Viva, CNN was kicked out of the Ukraine for showing a Nazi salute.
I heard that as well.
But hold on.
Is WTFITWCT going to give me credit there?
And is the entire chat going to give me credit?
Thank you, nature lover.
Okay.
That's not the best part of it.
And by the best, I mean that's not the worst of it yet.
Wait until you hear this.
Ever so discreetly, buried in item 23 of the G20 Valley Leaders Declaration.
I put leaders in quotes.
These people are not leaders.
These people are tyrants.
Section 23. I'll read it from top.
By the way, Alex Jones was right.
It's like, that will go from...
It's already its own...
He's been wrong.
But he was also right.
He was wrong.
He did wrong.
No human is perfect.
I would say he probably did not get a proportionate punishment for the wrong that he caused.
But he has been right more often than wrong.
And if we're comparing track records, better than Rachel Maddow, better than Brian Stetler, better than CNN, better than MSNBC.
Albeit much more hyperbolic in the manner in which he delivers statements.
We recognize the need for strengthening local and regional health product manufacturing capacities and cooperation, as well as a sustainable global and regional research and development network to facilitate better access to VTTs globally, especially in developing countries.
Have these idiots not heard of a run-on sentence?
Get a freaking intern.
Sentences are supposed to be three to four sentence lines at most.
If you can't say it in one breath, it's a run-on sentence.
We recognize the need for strengthening local and regional health product manufacturing capacities and cooperation as well as sustainable global and regional research and development networks to facilitate better access to VTTs globally, especially in developing countries, and underscore the importance of public-private partnership and technology transfers and knowledge sharing on voluntary and mutually agreed terms.
I cheated.
I took a breath halfway through.
We support the WHO.
MRNA vaccine technology transfer hub.
How are they supporting a technology transfer hub for a technology itself that has not yet proven to be safe and effective?
Oh, we support the technology to underscore implementing a new technology that itself, I mean, depending on what their metrics of success was, has not itself yet been proven.
Oh, we support the who.
MRNA Vaccine Technology Transfer Hub as well as the spokes in all regions of the world with the objective of sharing technology and technical know-how on voluntary and mutually agreed terms.
But wait, there's more.
We welcome joint research and joint production of vaccines, including enhanced cooperation among developing countries.
We acknowledge the importance of shared technical standards and verification methods under the framework of the IHR 2005 International Health to facilitate seamless international travel, interoperability, and recognizing digital and non-digital solutions including proof of vaccination.
People, two weeks to flatten the curve will be the rest of our lives.
The temporary measures will be the rest of our lives.
And if anybody thinks that what they have planned for proof of vaccination for international travel is going to stop at proof of vaccination for international travel, I've got a little voluntary face mask to offer you.
We support continued international dialogue and collaboration of trusted global...
And the establishment of trusted global digital health networks as part of the efforts to strengthen prevention and response to future pandemics that should capitalize and build on the success of the existing standards and digital COVID-19 certificates.
kids.
There's nothing more to say.
I don't know.
I can complain.
This is not cool anymore.
This is not fun.
This is not funny.
This is not acceptable.
This is not just a one global government, a new world order, collaborating together to make sure that we have to show...
Proof of vaccine.
What was done with COVID, not only is it not going away, now it's going to apply to monkeypox.
You want to get on a plane?
Get your monkeypox vaccine.
Otherwise, enjoy getting familiar with your country unless you're allowed leaving your municipality without a monkeypox vaccine.
Unless you're not allowed leaving your house without a monkeypox vaccine.
Our bodies went from being God's temple to government's testing ground.
I tweeted this out the other day.
I like it.
Our bodies went from being God's temple to government's testing ground, which is very fitting considering government thinks it's the new God.
It's outrageous and it's happening before our eyes and some people don't seem to care.
Man, man, Wiggum.
V6 neon $1 rumble rants is breaking Lauren Boebert, Republican, wins election in the House in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District.
Oh, that's a big one, actually, because she was down by a marginal amount.
Yeah.
We're pin cushions now.
We're just pin cushions.
This is Nature Lover Freedom.
I'm not doing it.
My body's going back to being a temple.
If there's one good thing that's going to come out of this three years of madness, my body's going to go back to being a temple of sorts with the occasional Red Bull.
I'm joking.
But I'm not.
I bought a bunch of bottles of kombucha.
7 trillion bacteria per bottle.
So I'm going to start trying kombucha.
See how that does.
How do we stop it?
Meme 521.
Vocal, peaceful opposition and changing the tide of public opinion.
There are people who are still down with this.
Okay, well, that's it.
So now you know, people.
Did I share the link?
We share the link so you all have it and that you can share it accordingly.
Just in the dead of night.
In the dead of Bali.
The heat of Bali.
Here's the link.
In Bali, the government sells us down the river to the New World Order.
And I believe I saw a video of Alex Jones talking about this in detail that...
You could not have gotten right by accident.
Alright, speaking of conspiracy theories.
The Proud Boys.
Not the Proud Boys.
The Oath Keepers.
The Oath Keepers had...
Oh, did I mix up something earlier today?
The Oath Keepers trial is coming to an end right now.
And it's interesting what has been revealed in this trial.
Hold on.
Did I get something mixed up earlier today?
FBI had informants in the Proud Boys.
Hold on.
Did I get...
I think I might have gotten mixed up with something.
Oh, no.
Okay, so this is...
Okay, I'm going to read this.
This is New York Times, November 14, so four days ago.
FBI had informants in Proud Boys, court paper suggests, in filings in the seditious conspiracy case against members of the far-right group, defense lawyers claimed that information favorable to their clients was improperly withheld by the government until recently.
I'm getting mixed up now between...
Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
The FBI...
The ultimate punchline doesn't change, actually, so I'll make sure I got the detail right, or I didn't get confused.
The FBI had as many as eight informants inside the far-right Proud Boys in the months surrounding, not in the days, not in the hours, in the months surrounding the storming of the Capitol on January 6th.
Recent court papers indicate raising questions about how much federal investigators were able to learn from them about the violent mob attack Both before and after it took place.
The existence of the informants came to light over the past few days in a flurry of veiled court filings by defense lawyers for five members of the Proud Boys who are set to go on trial next month.
Okay, fine.
So the Oath Keepers trial is coming to an end.
Proud Boys are coming up next month.
Informants in the Proud Boys.
I think there were informants in the Oath Keepers as well.
That's what I'm...
Might be confused about.
All that to say, though, you do remember once upon a time, the FBI said we had no advanced warning of what was about to happen.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hold on, where is that?
We had no advanced warning of what was going to happen.
We didn't know of the plans of this violent attack.
We knew nothing.
We were caught off guard and that's how it happened.
That was the rationale.
That was the explanation.
First of all, that was bunk at the time.
Nate Brody did an amazing breakdown.
There were permits issued for protests.
There were rumors floating around on the internet.
Plans that people were going to try to storm the Capitol.
FBI knew about it.
Now we're learning that the FBI had informants embedded within The Proud Boys and or Oath Keepers.
I just have to double check that piece of information.
The FBI had informants in the Proud Boys months in advance, knew what they were planning, knew the potential for violence, and despite this, nobody did anything.
Despite this, Capitol Police were understaffed the day of January 6th, and despite the fact that they were understaffed because of COVID.
And despite the fact that they were understaffed because of COVID, National Guard was not called up or accepted.
There's still an argument, and I don't know.
I have to correct that.
I said that embedded within the Oath Keepers.
Did I bring this up here?
I might have to go correct that.
Let me just see this here.
No, here, hold on.
They had informants embedded in Proud Boys.
Yeah, I'm going to have to correct that.
They had them embedded in the Proud Boys.
FBI report warned of war on Capitol, contradicting claims that there was no indication of looming violence.
That's a headline.
And despite all of this, there's an argument as to whether or not it's Nancy Pelosi who had the authority to...
To call up or accept the National Guard or someone else.
So AP Fact Check says the decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol is made by what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms, and the architect of the Capitol.
The board decided not to call the Guard ahead of the insurrection, but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun and the troops arrived several hours later.
And then they go in to debunk the claim that it's not Nancy Pelosi didn't decline it.
It was just the Capitol Police Board who didn't call them up.
Distinction without a difference.
They didn't call up the National Guard, despite the fact that they knew damn well they were understaffed because of COVID.
Capitol Police Chief warns of severe staffing shortage on eve of January 6th anniversary.
Thank you.
That's from this year.
There was one from last year.
I gotta go get mine.
They were understaffed because of COVID on January 6th, 2021.
And nonetheless, didn't call up the National Guard, despite the fact that the FBI had informants embedded within the Proud Boys, among others.
That is what we would call a setup.
That is what you call letting something happen so that you can politically weaponize it after the fact.
That is exactly what has happened.
And now, at the end of the day, Oath Keepers trial coming to an end today.
Proud Boys trial coming up in wherever.
FBI was in on all of it.
And then the question is, how much in on it?
How much in on it?
Are we seeing another Whitmer where we have so much FBI involvement that it can be argued to be some form of entrapment?
Here, let's just get the latest on the...
Do not become numb.
Prosecutors close seditious conspiracy against the Oath Keepers.
Eight weeks of trial.
What do you think the chances are of not getting a conviction in D.C.?
No, where is...
This is...
Hold on.
This is in Washington.
Or is this in Virginia?
Let's see.
After a grinding ewee trial, prosecutors pleaded with jurists to consider the weight against Stuart.
Yada, yada, yada.
Stuart...
Stuart Rhodes and the leaders of the Oath Keepers repeatedly called on then-President Donald Trump to deploy the military and prevent seating the Oval Office.
When he didn't, prosecutors said Friday, they decided to do it themselves.
They were having a seditious...
Conspiracy that was unarmed.
After a grinding eight-week trial, the most significant to emerge from the January 6th attack on the Capitol, prosecutors pleaded with the jurors, considered the evidence.
Defendants repeatedly called for the violent overthrow of the United States government, and they followed those words with actions.
Think about what has actually been good.
Rhodes was the architect.
Let's see this here.
Get this out of here.
To prosecutors, the case is clear.
Rhodes was the architect of a plan to overthrow the government by force, although they left all of their weapons in their hotel, unless Trump took direct action to seize the second term if he didn't win.
As January 6 approached, Rhodes grew increasingly frustrated at Trump's inaction and assembled a team, the A-team, including co-defendants Kelly Meggs and Kenneth O 'Reilly, Jessica Watkins, a bunch of other defendants.
They coordinated to amass an arsenal of heavy weapons at a comfort inn in nearby Arlington and developed land and water routes to ferry them to Oath Keepers if violence exists.
Can you understand that this is their plan to overthrow the government is to bring heavy arms, leave them in a hotel, but if it got violent, when you're overthrowing the government, if it gets violent, bring them to us by land and water routes.
Two dozen, and this is just reasonable analysis, not defending anybody because I...
No vested interest one way or the other, although I think the government has proved themselves to be fundamentally corrupt.
Two dozen Oath Keepers entered the Capitol after the riots, breached it, and migrated towards the House and Senate chambers before they were repelled by police.
Later, they met roads outside the Capitol.
Prosecutors say the group celebrated their actions and prepared to continue their efforts to oppose the government even after authorities regained control of the Capitol.
Slew of charges.
Oath keepers have contended that their conversation leading up to January 6th was merely a lot of overheated talk and their actions amid the insurrection were relatively harmless.
They came to Washington.
They agreed to help perform security detail for VIPs attending Trump's rally.
The weapons cache, which they described as a quick reaction force, was meant to guard against an outbreak of street violence, not target the Capitol, they contend.
Rhodes himself testified that he had no violent intentions towards the government.
Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada.
Their old men jabbering at a barbershop never actually intended to do anything with their violence.
Prosecutors used their closing arguments to take aim at the testimony of Green and Rhodes, Caldwell, and Watkins themselves.
The defendant's words in this case were not mere rantings and ravings of old men in a barbershop.
Rhodes, they said, essentially owned up to his violent goals when he acknowledged A December 10, 2020 text sent to his allies.
Either Trump gets off his ass and uses the Insurrection Act to defeat the CHICOM puppet coup, or we'll have to rise up in insurrection rebellion against the CHICOM puppet Biden, which they did by arriving unarmed at the Capitol and leaving when police took control of it.
Mr. Rhodes agreed that this was, this is what he was advocating.
Rakowski said Caldwell's testimony was simply incredible, refusing to take any responsibility for his involvement in January 6th.
Incursions described today as a good time.
why lie unless the truth is just too damn?
Why have an eight-week trial when a one-day trial could have done the job?
And that, people, I think brings us to the end of the day.
Let me see what we got here.
Oh, I got an argument.
This is the fact check about Pelosi blocking the National Guard.
It wasn't Pelosi.
It was the Capitol Police Board.
A distinction without a difference.
It just depends on who you think bears...
Which part of the government bears the responsibility?
Okay, it's not Nancy.
It wasn't her fault.
It's just the Capitol who did not call in the National Guard knowing they were understaffed because of COVID, yada, yada.
Okay.
That is it.
There was a video of a transgender individual talking about the process of...
I'll play this just because I'm not sure that people actually know this.
There was some stuff I had to Google after this.
Two years ago, I got gender reaffirming surgery.
Here's a fucking honest update.
Do I regret it?
Short answer is yes.
Don't get me wrong.
I got it done twice.
It looks Barbie.
Why do I regret it?
Well, because I will never be able to live a normal life.
After the surgery, you have to start dilating to keep the space they gave you.
You start from doing it four times a day to once a week for the rest of your life.
I was fine with that.
See, the problem is I had major complications, and now for some reason, I need to do it every single fucking day.
Now, obviously, I've had relations, and girls, we all know, guys don't fucking know what to do.
So it's not really worth it to me.
The problem is I cannot stop.
If I stop, it's gonna close up and create a bubble and that bubble could literally create an infection that could...
The two options here are I dilate for the rest of my life or I get it removed surgically.
Surgery goes for 70,000 and I don't want to go through that again.
So I guess I'm dilating.
You can go read the comments on that.
I think I just closed it, so maybe you can't, and most people don't want to.
Adults making those decisions in full awareness of fact, and I doubt that they are.
One thing, this is the type of gender-affirming healthcare that some are trying to push on children under the guise of love, benevolence, tolerance, and the child's best interest.
I need to Google...
How you can possibly go from penis to cavity and then remove it and make a phallus again?
I don't know.
My search history is going to be different this afternoon.
But this is the gender-affirming healthcare that people want.
That medical experts are pushing.
Are tolerating not just on adults, but pushing and promoting on children.
And giving it the beautiful euphemisms.
Gender-affirming healthcare, top surgery, and bottom surgery.
We have to end on something good.
What do we end on?
Throne, fishing, or...
Hmm.
Hmm.
So we can end on something that'll leave us happy.
And we did the steak.
I gotta find something quick.
I should have had the outro video lined up.
I should have had the outro video lined up.
Oh, you know what?
We'll do this one.
This was great.
How long is this video?
Five minutes?
Okay.
This is another time when I caught another fish off a drone.
And it's just fantastic.
It will make people happy.
It'll make you happier than you were before you started the day, I think.
If I may say so myself.
Hold on.
Let's get this here.
Let's get the video.
All right.
Everybody, before we head out, what can we do?
Raise awareness.
Send links.
Talk to people.
Express our righteous indignation to what is going on in the world.
Okay, you know what?
We'll do largest egg.
Viva fry ostrich egg.
Let's do that.
Yeah, people haven't seen an ostrich egg.
Ostrich egg omelette.
No, we're going to do the world's biggest hard-boiled egg.
That's what we're going to do.
Okay, good.
Thank you for the suggestion, whoever that was.
I forget now.
I think that the comment has gone up way too far.
I'm going to say it every day.
Don't lose faith.
Righteous indignation, I think, is the right word.
Sensitize people to what's going on and discuss it.
But the tide will turn.
It just takes a force.
And it'll take a force of the moon.
It'll take a gravitational force to change this tide.
But it will happen.
And I think we're partway there.
The only question is, we have two celestial bodies both fighting over influence of the water.
And we have to be the celestial body that carries more gravity.
Physically, spiritually, and ideologically.
So let's do that, people.
I'm going to end with an ostrich egg.
The world's biggest hard-boiled egg.
Courtesy of...
Viva.
Enjoy the afternoon, people.
Enjoy the weekend.
I'll see you Sunday evening.
And with that said, let's do it.
You want to see the ostrich egg?
Look at this.
Look.
Hey, my elbow.
Whoa, it's too big.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Amazing, eh?
Okay.
We are hard boiling the egg.
At the request of a subscriber, they said they wanted to see this thing hard boiled.
I ask.
It can be done.
It takes an hour and a quarter to hard boil this.
Look how beautiful this thing is.
This is the biggest pot we have.
I wish we had a bigger pot.
Fill this up with water.
This pot should be big enough.
So we're going to go start.
Let's put it on seven and a half.
Get it going slowly.
We're going to go for an hour and a half just to make sure that this thing cooks properly.
Why are we going to cook the shell?
We're going to cook the whole egg inside.
Okay, let's put the lid on.
We can put the lid on.
Okay, and we play the waiting game.
Okay, so I decided not to take any chances with a small pot and I borrowed a massive pot from our neighbor.
So we're gonna let this thing fill up and do this properly.
Transport the egg.
Beautiful.
Almost full.
Three, two, one.
Happy New Year!
All right.
Okay, new starting time, 9:30, so by 11 o 'clock.
Okay, it's 11:23 now.
Everything's looking pretty good.
So we're going to give it another 10 or 15 minutes.
Then we're going to dump it in very cold water.
Then we're going to saw around the middle part of the shell and take it apart like a Russian doll.
Oh, there we go.
Look at this, guys.
Pick it up.
Okay.
There we go.
You ready?
The egg has been cooling in ice water for about a half an hour.
We are going to cut the shell open with a hacksaw.
Okay, open the door.
So we're going to start.
You're going to cut your finger.
No, I'm not going to cut my finger.
I'm just going to start very slowly.
Okay, because I don't want to go through.
Oh, that noise.
Okay.
I don't like that noise.
I don't.
No, I got to go slowly.
This is how thick the shell is.
That's a big one!
Yeah, we're gonna go this way.
It's gonna take forever.
It's going to take a while.
It's a very, very crooked line, but it should do.
We're doing a hard time and a good time.
We're doing a good time here.
So, wow.
Look at how deep it is.
And I'm not even halfway in yet.
I don't think.
Look at my pants.
Oh, I got through here.
Okay.
Look at that.
Okay, we just got through here, but we're still in the membrane.
Okay, we got through here too.
One, two.
Okay, there we go.
There we go.
No, no, I'm at a good spot.
Okay, I think we are at.
Look, guys.
Okay, check it out.
This is what was so exciting.
Why is it spring water?
I think it's just water.
It smells very eggy.
Maybe we got water in there while we were cutting it.
No, we didn't do that, but okay.
When we boiled it.
No, no.
It's just probably water in the membrane.
Yeah, that's just water between the membrane and the shell.
Okay.
This is amazing.
It smells so eggy and I don't like the egg.
Yeah, but we're going to make...
Look at this.
Oh my gosh.
Mom's going to see it when we show the video.
Oh my gosh, guys.
Look at this.
This is surprising.
Even to me.
No.
I didn't eat you.
Oh.
Oh my goodness!
This is incredible.
Oh my gosh, feel the egg, guys.
It's just a huge hard-boiled egg.
check this out This is the biggest hard-boiled egg on the planet.
Amazing!
Who wants to take a bite out of the egg?
Ew!
Ew, I'm not eating that tonight.
That's really good.
It's salty.
What do you think?
Good.
You ready?
Ready.
First cut of the biggest hard-boiled egg in the world.
Daddy, what animal lays the biggest eggs in the world?
I'm pretty sure it's the ostrich.
Look at this.
Look at that.
It's just a certifiably big hard-boiled egg.
Can you take out the yellow stuff?
I'm going to taste the yellow stuff.
What is it?
It's indistinguishable from a regular egg.
Okay, so we're at the end of it.
We have made a deviled egg.
We've put mustard, paprika, a little bit of mayonnaise.
Let's see.
Final test.
Give it.
I already tried it.
It's delicious.
Peter!
Okay, you're just in time.
Taste deviled ostrich egg.
That's good.
Yeah, you see?
You ingrates!
