I do want to go into the weeds of the Ottawa trucker protest because I might have been the only one of us.
Did you cover them?
So I think I might have been the only one of us who was at the Ottawa trucker protest.
And, you know, I'm one of the liberal columnists at the Times.
Congratulations.
I showed up at the Ottawa Trucker protest kind of expecting the sort of things that I Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Okay, that's fair.
I think that it's been pretty conclusively shown that the organizers of this protest were people on the far right, were people with very kind of unsavory and sometimes racist ideas.
But what really shocked me walking around...
Oh, no.
Oh no.
I remember getting into a truck with someone saying what inspired you to come here?
Mushrooms.
they were all just druggies he had he was tripping and he had this this desire to get in his car and and drive you know but there was also there was a lot of people who were just traumatized they were lonely they were so happy to suddenly be surrounded by people after having I'm going to let it play out and then we're going to...
People are hugging each other.
People are hugging me, even though I'm from the hated mainstream media.
And I told my editors that this is what I found, and they said, great, that's more interesting than what we thought you were going to find.
It was more interesting.
And I wrote it, and they devoted an entire page to it.
An entire page?
One whole page.
Didn't follow every single bit of reporting on it in the Canadian media, but I do think...
Do we all appreciate the underhanded minimization?
The subtle tactics of minimizing fault.
I didn't follow all of mainstream media.
Sorry, we're going to pick this apart and then some in a few seconds.
Having the ethos of wanting to be surprised and being willing to be surprised.
Or just being unable to affirm a lie.
To that degree.
But she still nonetheless slipped in.
At least three lies in this entire diatribe as to how objective she was or is.
Is something that you are more likely to find in, you know...
The New York Times, in the Washington Post, in people who write, you know, in The New Yorker, than it is with people who do write for some of these contrarian alternatives to the mainstream media, and they really do start with a story that they want to, a story that they intend to tell, often a story about the, about the mistakes and dishonesties of the mainstream media.
Contrarian?
Because the opposite of...
Mainstream, legitimate, trustworthy is contrarian.
We're going to look up the word contrarian in a second.
The truth is much more complicated than that.
Her name is Michelle...
Hold on.
My goodness.
I watched this entire debate because I saw highlights that Matt Taibbi put out and I was like, it can't be.
Michelle Goldberg in Michelle Inbrook.
And I'm not trying to pick on anybody.
Malcolm Gladwell.
Douglas Murray.
I've never seen Douglas Murray before, but he...
Killed it in that debate.
So let me bring this out, but not take it down.
Because I want to come back to this in a second.
First of all, good evening.
I missed everybody yesterday.
Yesterday I said I was going to do a vlog and not a live stream.
It took me the whole day to edit.
It took me about three to four hours to edit this vlog together.
Not including shooting the content.
It took me about three hours to edit a day in the life of Viva Frye.
A response to Lex Friedman's A Day in the Life.
It was funny.
We're going to watch it as the video to play us out tonight.
But I said, I'm going to do an old school video.
Six minutes took the better part of the day.
And I was too tired to do a stream.
And I had to catch up on the news that I didn't see.
Proving a point to myself yet again.
But I saw Matt Taibbi put out some highlights.
It was a super cut of Malcolm Gladwell.
You know, there's pleading the fifth, and then there's pleading the whitey.
Malcolm Gladwell pleading the white cis male sous-entendre of racism.
To Matt Taibbi.
I don't actually know of Matt Taibbi's origins, now that I say it out loud.
Taibbi could be a Middle Eastern name.
It could also be a Moroccan Jewish name.
I'm going to look it up in a second.
But Malcolm Gladwell playing the race card and the gender card hard.
Hard!
Hurry hard!
That's a curling joke.
And I said, I have to go see this debate.
Like, it couldn't have been this bad.
Put it this way.
I'm driving back from the Deerfield Pier today with my kid in the back, and he knows he wanted to take a nap.
And he said, Dad, can you put on that book that you have on your phone?
That always puts us to sleep.
And it's John Ronson's.
I'm listening to them now.
I haven't finished it yet.
I said, dude, I'll get you something else that's going to put you to sleep.
And I put this debate on.
Holy cows.
A debacle.
The debate was supposed to be, be it resolved, you can't trust mainstream media.
And the arguments made by the side con, you can trust the mainstream media, happened to be two mainstream media types, so it's more of a self-defense than a defense of a position, which I think falsifies the debate.
Oh my, it was a flipping train wreck.
It was an absolute train wreck.
But I want to bring this one back up so I can close it.
Mainstream media patting themselves on the back because at least Michelle Goldberg actually went to the Ottawa protests instead of just regurgitating the lies of Canadian media.
And yet still somehow finds a way to regurgitate lies.
I do want to go into the weeds of the Ottawa trucker protest because I might have been the only one of us.
Did you cover them?
So I think I might have been the only one of us who was at the Ottawa trucker protest.
I was there, Michelle.
Good for you.
Good for you.
Right, right.
And, you know, I'm kind of one of the liberal columnists at The Times.
I've covered the far right.
I showed up at the Ottawa trucker protest.
You see what she's doing?
This is called persuasion, by the way.
I've covered the far right.
I showed up at the protest expecting it to be as bad as a Trump.
It wasn't.
Sure, there were racists.
Kind of expecting the sort of things that I've seen at Donald Trump rallies, at various even further right events.
What sort of racist things have we seen at a Donald Trump rally?
I'm actually genuinely curious now.
What sort of racist things did she see?
Black men with MAGA hats at Trump rallies?
I've seen Trump rallies, the far right, and I've seen worse than that.
Let's go on.
And didn't find it.
You know, I was really quite astonished.
I think...
These little pets, they're quite good.
But, but, I was quite astonished, but...
I think that it's been pretty conclusively shown that the organizers of this protest were people on the far right, were people with very kind of unsavory and sometimes racist ideas.
Oh my God, if I were there, I would have busted, I would have busted a retort.
I would have busted a rebuttal in Michelle's face.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's been, it's been shown that the organizers, what does she say here?
This protest wore people on the far right.
Tamara Lich, the only bona fide organizer, is a Metis woman from Red Deer, Alberta.
She might not be from Red Deer.
She's from Alberta.
Let me just, Michelle, let me just play it again to you.
It's been pretty conclusively shown that the organizers of this protest were people on the far right, were people with very kind of unsavory and sometimes racist ideas.
Tamara Lich, organizer number one, a Metis woman.
Ben Dichter.
Organizer number two, I only know that he's gay because he said it.
A gay Jew.
I think she might be referring to Pat King, who had no role in organizing this.
She might be referring to Jeremy McKenzie, and I'll take issue with Jeremy McKenzie being far-right racist.
There are many...
Black people, many women who are members of the community.
But it's been definitively established, says the fake news media, in defense of the fact that they are trustworthy.
Liars.
But what really shocked me, walking around and talking to people, was how many people were just either totally politically disconnected.
I remember getting into a trial.
But not politically disinterested.
Politically disconnected.
Both of which would have been lies, by the way.
The people there.
We're not politically disconnected.
That's why they were there, because they were politically connected, or at least politically involved.
But they're politically disconnected.
As though these people are slack-jawed yokels.
They don't know what the hell they're doing there.
Oh, and what's the further evidence?
One person I talked to was on mushrooms, allegedly.
Talk with someone saying, what inspired you to come here?
No, man, I don't know.
I just took some shrooms and I decided to drive across the country to protest constitutional rights.
Oh, you got it all figured out, Michelle.
And he said, mushrooms.
I'm done.
Liars.
We're going to go through a few more highlights.
Liars.
In defense of the fake news, the fake news spews more fake news.
Liars.
I'm seeing here...
Nature Lover Freedom says Taibi is Polynesian from John Sarian on Rumble.
And Nature Lover says Lebanese origin.
Well, I'm going to Google that in a second.
So this debate, go watch it because it's a masterclass in how not to debate.
The British guy, and I'm just saying the British guy because I can't remember his name.
Douglas Murray.
Sorry, I never knew him.
Stole the show.
Taibi is very good.
Substantively.
Gladwell opened his mouth, stuffed both of his feet, and then choked on them, metaphorically speaking.
And Goldberg, her delivery was actually kind of good, but substantively rubbish.
Uh-oh.
Nature, love, or freedom.
I don't know.
Okay, I don't know if that chat was free.
So hold on.
Let me just make sure they're all live here.
Everything's good.
We're going to go through a few more highlights of this.
That was one highlight.
Malcolm Gladwell, look, I have never read Outliers.
I know enough about the book to know about it.
I have not read, which one was it, the 10,000 Hours book?
I think that's Outliers.
I like principles.
I don't care to read books.
I just want to know what they say.
So if I can hear them, all the better.
Malcolm Gladwell, I think he has done damage to his reputation.
Here is the highlight that Matt Taibbi put out.
The supercut.
Gladwell has done damage to his reputation as a scholar, as an intellectual, as a journalist.
Part of me feels bad because he's still a human.
He's got to look at this and if he has the slightest bit of introspection and honesty say, I really screwed up.
Like the time when Ben Shapiro walked off of an interview, knew that he got embarrassed and admitted to it later.
My question was, what would make them happy?
So what would restore the trust of Matt and Doug in the mainstream media?
And I think what they...
With Matt, the answer is obviously he would like...
The world resembled 1955 again.
That would fill him with joy.
Doug would like more stories on the Hunter Biden laptop.
More times he would play the race.
But more seriously, really?
Oh, sorry.
That was one of the snippets that I took from Matt Taibbi's.
In defense of the media not being fake news, Malcolm Gladwell said people were obsessed, they were overly obsessed with the Hunter Biden laptop story.
I mean, can you imagine?
Can you imagine being that disingenuous in the assessment?
The media, in order to argue for their trustworthiness...
It says that there was an obsession, an unhealthy obsession, a fixation on the Hunter Biden.
It's only the biggest scan.
As far as I'm concerned, I might be blowing it out of proportion.
I have that degree of introspection that maybe it means more to me than it does to others.
Maybe I think it means more to the world than people would think it actually does.
I think it is the, not the black pill, it is the biggest red pill, suppository, involuntary red pill.
For a great many people.
I think it's the biggest...
I wasn't alive during Watergate.
But if Watergate...
From what I understand, this is exponentially more devastating and important, politically important, than Watergate.
It's more...
The scandal is light years more serious than Watergate.
And now we got Malcolm Gladwell in defense of media being trustworthy, saying it's overblown.
Listen to this one.
Listen to this highlight.
But her emails?
I mean, does anybody remember the completely outsized attention paid to Hillary Clinton's information security protocols in the run-up to the 2016 election?
I mean, this was on the front page of the New York Times.
It was.
It was.
Stop!
Stop!
Liar!
Liar!
It wasn't Hillary Clinton having a private server.
Liar.
It was, I guess, if I'm in a debate, I would not call my interlocutor a liar like that, but it wasn't the private server.
It was the fact that she lied about it.
It was the fact that she tried to wipe it clean, smashed cell phones with hammers, lied about not having classified information.
It wasn't the private servers.
It was the lies.
The scandalous cover-up.
Also the servers, because there was a reason why it was offline, so to speak.
But liar.
Always benefit Democrats and work against Republicans is simply not the case.
Again, I apologize for making this so, you know, kind of America-centric.
Because they were in Canada.
BuzzFeed published the Steele dossier after the 2016 election.
We can stop it there.
Appreciate what she just said.
Mainstream media...
Is trustworthy?
Because in 2016, they ran the story about Hillary's emails a lot.
I mean, they did.
I remember watching that show, Black-ish.
And it was the most tacky, out-of-place joke, but they're playing Monopoly, and the dad starts losing to the kids, and he throws the board over, and he goes, but Hillary's emails!
It became a meme.
But there are a lot of people, Hillary Clinton included, who blamed her 2016 loss on the obsession, That the media had with the emails or the reporting that was placed on the emails.
There were a lot of people who blamed her loss on that.
So what Michelle thinks is an example, an illustration of integrity, is actually the perfect illustration of the lack of integrity because the media might have learned from 2016.
If we put too much attention on it, even if it's to, you know, put it under the rug.
They focused on Hillary's emails, but they were emphasizing the defense.
It's not a big deal.
No classified information.
Everybody does it.
They learned their lesson from 2016.
So much so that the decision was not to focus on the Hunter Biden laptop story, but to try to sweep it under the rug.
No big deal that the president's son or the potential president's son smoking crack, giving foot jobs to potential underage hookers.
10% for the big...
No, they can't sweep that under the rug.
And so they actually learned from their mistake in 2016.
Ignore it entirely.
How do you do that?
Get intelligence to come in and suggest that social media censor it.
Make bloody well sure nobody talks about that story.
So congratulations, Michelle.
You played yourself.
I think there was nothing left in this one anyhow.
But it was floating around before then, and people didn't report on it because they couldn't verify any of it.
So again, I just think the media...
They couldn't verify any of it, and yet somehow it found its way before a secret FISA court judge for the renewal of an unlawful spy warrant that the media never really picked up on.
How many stories on Clinesmith?
FBI lawyer falsifying evidence to obtain unlawful...
Spy warrant renewals effectively on a president.
How much on that?
No.
Anyway, I'm belaboring the point.
This was a disaster of a debate.
Gladwell looked like the buffoon playing the race car.
And it was great.
It's fun to watch.
I don't know what you have to do to get invited to a monk debate.
I would crush it.
I know my skills and I know my weaknesses or my strengths and my weaknesses.
I would crush it.
My weakness might be...
It was the difficulty of being a lawyer.
I had to keep my mouth shut until it was my turn to talk, and that's very, very difficult for me, especially when you know what people are going to say before they say it.
That's one of my weaknesses.
But I would crush the debate.
Okay, I got one Rumble rant from Pamela Arwalk.
Pamela?
R. Walker.
Good to see you again.
How ridiculous.
Over-obsessed with the laptop.
It virtually proves treasonous, dirty deals.
And I actually think treasonous might be contextually appropriate of an accusation right here.
In Rumble, not in Rumble, in YouTube, there were a couple of super chats.
Oh, why does salt have to be white?
That wasn't a super chat.
Salt doesn't have to be white.
There's pink salt.
But I think someone might have already responded to that.
There is no...
There's dark colored salt as well if they don't purify it, but it's a weird thing.
Like sugar, brown sugar is just natural color and then they purify it to be white.
Some will say it's the patriarchy that did that.
William Schwant says, my brother was poisoned by fentanyl.
The sentencing just happened and he ran.
The rest of the story on my sub stack.
Bill Schwant won.
Dude, Bill, you look so...
Okay, I thought that was someone else.
You look like someone I know on the avatar.
William Schwant.
So everyone, check that out.
I've never met William Schwant before.
This is not an endorsement.
Substack, BillSchwant1.
Thank you for the super chat.
No legal advice, no medical advice, no election fornification advice.
Oh my goodness.
Am I live?
Again, Twitter files for January 7 just dropped.
Well, we're going to...
Is there any more of that debate?
Let me just go to my notes.
The tough thing is, I'm watching this debate.
It's always easy to be cool and slick and know exactly what you'd say from home or from the car when you're listening, and then you have to remember the timestamp so you can go.
The debate was a debacle.
It was an absolute smearing of Gladwell and Goldberg.
And the problem was, they were not defending a media.
They were defending themselves.
And that impacts the way people can argue.
It impacts people's personal levels of involvement in a debate.
Okay, everybody.
How's everybody doing?
Saturday night, my kids are watching a street movie thingy thing.
And I don't...
I spent the day with my kid fishing on the pier.
We caught a lot of goggle eyes, like these little bait fish.
Did not catch any big fish to eat for dinner.
Had a good afternoon, but I spent enough time now that I wanted to go live.
When I don't go live for a day, it's not that I miss talking to people, which I do.
It's also that I feel like Homer Simpson.
When he says, you know, every time I learn something new, it pushes something old out of my head, like the time I took that wine tasting course and forgot how to drive.
The amount of news that's going on, it's like, I'm going to forget, even with my Twitter diary, I'm going to forget stuff.
Kimberly Geiger, just because I love you and your family, I am always praying for you.
Thank you very much.
I like that.
But then when people pray for me, it makes me think that I'm, am I at risk?
I'll tell you who might.
I don't want to say it because I don't like putting the juju out in the universe.
Elon Musk.
Whether you like him or hate him, whether you're not, you think he's up to cataclysmic no-goodness with his Neuralink, whatever it is.
Holy shiot.
Is he...
He actually tweeted out today.
And this is going to segue from the defense of fake news.
No defense at all.
I could have done a better job defending fake news.
I could have done it.
I could do it.
I don't want to do it, but I could have done it.
I could have defended MSN better than Gladwell and Goldberg.
Keep looking up for the FBI.
Dude, if the FBI were coming, the FBI would have already come.
How's my boo-boo belly?
Well, I'll tell you what.
It's better.
I think I know what might have caused a problem.
I've subsequently kicked that part out of my diet.
I was going hard on kombucha.
Like a bottle a day because I thought with seven, what did they say?
Like seven billion organic particles.
I thought it'd be good for my gut.
Might not have been good for my gut.
So I think I figured that out.
I've worked that out.
Heart Tackle in the house.
Thank you very much.
Heart Tackle makes American-made bait-and-tackle.
Not bait-and-tackle.
Tackle for bass and Florida stuff.
Hold on.
Okay.
Viva Fry tweeted praise for Justin Trudeau.
Well, unfortunately, I'm not blocking this because it offends me.
I'm blocking this because it's a bot.
And they started spamming.
Should I be...
Hold on a second.
Let me go to Twitter and just see what's going on.
I didn't realize that this is live as we speak.
Give me a second.
and I've got all my stuff lined up here.
What's going on?
Okay, so I don't see anything yet.
In the chat, tell me what's going on.
Elon Musk is revealing...
It's an amazing thing.
The harder...
You'll notice this, because it applies mutatus mutandus to Ukraine, mutatus mutandus to Greiner, mutatus mutandus to Elon.
The harder one side tries to downplay, tries to minimize, tries to sweep under the rug, the more serious you know that it is.
So Elon last night had...
It's so cool.
A Twitter hangout.
You're just sitting on listening to a conference call with the CEO of the CEO, the owner of Twitter.
Not that wealth means anything more than wealth.
Just the richest man on earth who owns Twitter, the owner of Tesla, listening to him engage with last night was...
Eliza Blue and a couple of others who, not to be disrespectful, I just don't know their names.
Now I realize I'm wearing my shirt.
That's going to show sweat again.
Damn it.
And they're talking about child sexual content on Twitter.
Elon has bought a crime scene.
I have now been corrected.
It's not Jack Posobiec who said it first.
Apparently it might have been Steve Bannon, but someone else might have said it before Steve Bannon.
He's bought a crime scene and he's not covering it up.
He is pulling up the sheets.
He's lifting up the white blankets.
He's opening the front door so that everybody can come in and see what happened.
And it's absolutely unbelievable.
I can't think of another word and I hate the word unbelievable.
Now...
Before we get into it and before we get into the rest of the stuff, I'm going to share the link to Rumble because we're going to move it over to Rumble.
Not because we can't talk about it on YouTube, but because I choose and have chosen to align myself with Rumble, a company that actually supports free speech.
I'm going to read some of the Rumble rants there while everyone trickles in.
Then I'm going to close this down on YouTube and we're going to go exclusive to Rumble.
Nicotine Bill says, SchwantSubstack.com.
In the sentencing for my brother's fentanyl poisoning, the defendant ran.
Schwant.Substack.com.
The rest of the story.
Thanks, Viva.
Schwant, thank you.
Tropical Rocket says, I meant buy local.
$5 rumble rant, which I imagine means...
Oh, here we go.
Tropical Rocket says, T-shirt, vote local.
It works better than voting.
I meant buy local.
Okay, fine.
Thank you.
And then we got a couple more of those.
So, you are paid to use Rumble, says not a Russian bot.
I have negotiated an exclusivity with Rumble because I choose to support this platform.
I was paid to use YouTube as well.
And at some point, we have to take our risks because nothing is guaranteed.
Despite what people think, we have to take our risks, take our chances, and support the platform that supports free speech, which Rumble does.
And what YouTube is doing now.
Not YouTube, I'm sorry.
And Twitter is doing now.
So, everybody, I'm going to wind it down on YouTube.
The link is there.
I'll post it one more time.
And let's do this.
Make sure I didn't forget anything here.
I just saw something about a barracuda.
There are no pike in Florida, but there's barracuda.
And you can eat the barracuda because they're not...
Reef Barracuda, so they don't have toxic levels of poisons in them.
Okay, let's do this.
Ending it on the YouTubes.
We've got 1939 people left.
What an odd number that should be.
1939.
Okay.
I'm going to end it on YouTube.
We're going to go over to Rumble exclusively.
I got a ton of footnotes to go over.
And we're going to start with Elon Musk, conference call yesterday, talking about child sex content on Twitter.
Oh, and the employees!
The employees who resign.
And they put out a letter specifying the basis of their resignation.
And I read that letter and I said, to me it sounds like you quit before you could get fired.
Because if you were in charge of safety and security, you failed.
You done failed.
Okay, we're moving from YouTube.
Going over to Rumble.
3, 2, 1. Now.
Oh yeah.
I think we're alone.
Now I can go over here and just...
It's only me.
It's freezing here, says Real Truth.
It might be freezing for you.
Rumble is freezing up.
Okay, people are saying Rumbles are freezing up.
This might be gin and tonic.
Crowder scored over 300,000 watchers on one episode two weeks ago.
If he can do it, so can you, Vivo.
Look, numbers are only good because they indicate...
An expansion of what I believe is the realm of truthful media.
I don't consider myself to be a journalist, but I definitely consider myself to be in the media, and I definitely consider myself to be, if not the most truthful person out there, tied for because I have a fear.
My kid asked me today, like, Daddy, what's your greatest fear?
And I said, death.
He said, other than death.
And I was like, swimming through a swamp at night?
Like, I used to be very fearful of water.
My main legitimate fear or irrational fear is being thought of as a liar or actually becoming a liar.
I can think of no greater sin, no greater curse than to become a liar.
I don't think I'm a journalist, and I like to pride myself on what I think is outright obsessive honesty.
Because I don't want to get things wrong, and I don't want to get things wrong in a way that people are going to think I got them wrong on purpose to be a liar.
All right.
So with that said, Elon Musk last night is lifting up the hood and showing everyone the engine that has been propelling this Twitter, and my goodness, it's crazy.
Now, we're going to get into a truth bomb.
So you watch the Twitter hangout spaces.
I was going to ask a question, and I put my hand up towards the end, but I realized it probably was not the appropriate time for me to ask a question.
Listen to this.
In any given newspaper, what percentage of the articles are positive about anything at all?
Almost all the articles are negative.
So then, I mean, that's the thing that tends to happen.
If there's a subject that's newsworthy, like, let's say, like, you're just writing about, like, my name will just generate clicks, right?
So if you've got a combination of, let's say, like, my name that will generate clicks and then...
And then a newspaper having a very negative bias in general, then this is just going to result in a lot of negative stories.
It's just like a machine, basically.
But like I said, we can correct this on Twitter, and I think over time, if we're doing our job well at Twitter, then people will increasingly see Twitter as the source of truth.
And to understand what's really going on.
And they will turn away from traditional media and more and more towards Twitter.
And that will provide a competitive force for other media to be more truthful, or they will simply keep losing more and more of the public's attention.
That is probably the most compelling argument that could have been made for why not to trust the media in this debate, the monk debate.
And it's an amazing thing what Elon is saying.
This is not to the substance of child sexual content on Twitter that had been there for a long time to the knowledge of everybody.
But what makes media...
One good point that Michelle made is that the risks of corruption that we're talking about, it's not just for mainstream media, it's for any media.
What corrupts thought?
What corrupts honesty?
What corrupts integrity?
Typically it's money.
And it could also be politics.
What Elon is astutely observing here is that you're dealing with media that is struggling for clicks, struggling for money, and what's the best way to get it?
Well, rage clicks are a legitimate form of getting traffic, a legitimate method, as in to say, it's the way people do it.
Now, some people say it's illegitimate on the substance, but from a practical point of view, it's how you get the clicks.
Media right now are, first of all, struggling to get the clicks.
So how do they do it?
They see that negative stories about Elon with their user base sell better than positive stories.
And so what do they do?
Run more negative stories.
Get his name, stick it in there, run with it.
And I can think of a number of journalists not talking about Elon exposing and pledging to remedy.
Child sex content on Twitter.
They don't run with that because with their base, nobody's going to be interested in that.
So what do they do?
They run with stupid stories that, oh, Elon, a thousand animals died during Elon's Neuralink test.
They run with, oh, I can't even think about some of the negative stories.
They run with negative stories because they know that emphasis will garner more clicks with their particular base.
The problem is even that comes to an end at some point.
And that goes for the mainstream media.
That goes for alternative media.
Even the alternative media that is rage-based clicks, if it's not substantive, if it's not accurate, if it's not value-added, at some point, the rage clicks go away as well.
Hold on a second.
I hear a dog.
One second.
Watson?
There you go.
Hold up.
Coming back.
I'm coming.
Oh, there you go.
At some point, those clicks also dry up because people get fed up with rage click in any event or rage bait.
And they want to be informed and they want to be up to date.
And they want to know that they're getting accurate information.
And Elon is now, you know, he said it before that Twitter is going to be citizen journalism.
The idea that blue check marks shouldn't matter in terms of credibility.
It's a vision.
Winnie is here.
It's a vision, and he's run 100% right.
Yes, that's right.
Nibble my face.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
Oh, hold up.
You got my cable.
Get down here.
So that was just an interesting observation on how you can actually make fake news media more honest.
I've been saying it for a while.
At one point in the near future, at some point in the near future, it's going to be cool again to support free speech.
It's going to be cool again, cool to be truthful, to be thorough, to be thoughtful, and not to be political partisan hacks.
And the idea of democratizing journalism via Twitter, where people are turning to...
By turning away from the others, that is the mission, that is the goal, that is the vision, and it's 100% accurate.
So the more transparent and the more accurate Twitter is, it will be a competing force to the New York Times, to the Gladwells, say, yeah, don't ignore the Hunter Biden story.
Don't ignore the Twitter files, because it's the biggest scandal of our generation.
In the Belfry says, sick dog worms.
I'll tell you this.
I've been kissing dogs my entire life.
I've only gotten worms once.
It was a long time ago.
It was before dogs.
So that was just a nice truth bomb that Elon dropped.
But when it comes to sex content on Twitter...
Okay, hold on.
Let's...
I think we're going to go in chronological order.
This one should get it.
There has been...
I cannot say that I've known about this throughout my being on Twitter.
I haven't.
Part of me feels ignorant for not having known about it.
And then part of me feels actually kind of proud that I never knew about it.
It's a dark underbelly of Twitter that I never knew about until I started doing the vlogs, reading the lawsuits filed by...
Alleged.
You have to bear in mind it's all allegations, not judicial fact, not, what's the word I'm looking for?
Not objective fact, not judicial fact, and not judicial notice fact.
Allegations.
I never knew about this underbelly of Twitter.
In fact, I never really even knew that there was a porn element of Twitter until an episode of Howard Stern where they were talking about FistFest.
I actually realized now I've never actually met...
It was the most...
It was disgusting in that...
It was an episode of Howard Stern where one of his reporters, and I forget who it was, went to this place called FistFest.
And then they talked...
Don't even Google it because you don't want that stuff on your phone.
But they mentioned an individual had a Twitter handle.
I was like, there's no way this stuff is on Twitter.
And I went to a handle.
And that stuff was on Twitter.
Well, that stuff is the legal pornographic stuff on Twitter.
There's illegal pornographic stuff on Twitter.
There's illegal content on Twitter.
And there has been, and to the knowledge of Twitter, for a long time.
And bear in mind, by the way, now that we know that there's been weekly meetings with the FBI and intelligence and that big, big, you know, the federal government, law enforcement has been involved, you know?
Controlling misinformation on Twitter?
Now that you know that, it raises a lot more questions than I ever had before because this content has, to the knowledge of Twitter, been on Twitter for a very long time.
I take a little bit of solace in the fact that I never knew this.
Howard Stern is alive.
Obelix, CMM, Howard Stern is still alive.
I have not listened to Howard Stern since 2020.
Funny enough, when we had to switch our car and then I never renewed our Siri.
and I have not missed Howard Stern since.
So, all that to say, Elon has come out now and he's exposing it.
We're going to talk about it in a second.
Let's get to the tweet.
If I click on this, it's going to bring it up.
Let me see here.
Good.
Okay.
And now people are...
People are faulting Elon for what he's been doing.
This is Ann Collier.
She, her.
Got a problem there already.
That's one flag.
Youth advocate.
Now I've got some questions.
Writer.
NetFamily News.
Okay.
NGO founder.
Non-governmental organization founder.
Once upon a time, I might have thought that was an indication of a good human.
Now it makes me suspicious, and I tend to say, you're suspect.
Safety Advisor to Platforms.
We're going to get there.
TEDx Geneva.
Now that I've seen some of the rubbish on TEDx, no goodwill and no intellectual capital placed with having been on a TEDx talk.
Okay, so that's Ann Collier.
By the way, I don't know what it was yesterday.
Safety Advisor to Platforms.
I suspect yesterday it said Safety Advisor to Twitter.
Because this is what they wrote two days ago.
Three of us resigned from Twitter's trust and safety council today.
Erlany, Podesta.
Podesta?
Hold on.
I'm learning something in real time and it's something I probably should have known.
Values journalism, cares about politics.
Podesta is a pretty unique name.
Hold on just one second.
Leslie.
Podesta.
Chat, I think you'll know before me.
John Podesta Potter?
Is it just a total coincidence?
Who's Leslie Podesta?
Is she any relation to John Podesta?
Leslie Podesta.
Alright, well, I'll look that up afterwards.
Maybe the chat even knows before me.
Forget that.
Okay.
On safety and security.
We've resigned.
Here's why.
Let's read this together.
But hold on.
Before we do that, let me just see if anyone knows Podesta.
It's his niece.
Okay.
I'll double-check that.
But if anybody doesn't know, you know, you want to talk about other dark rabbit holes to go down, look up Podesta artwork.
Pamela R. Walker, former First Lady Michelle Obama, tech journalist Cara Wisher, ADL High Tech VC, and many others publicly call on Twitter to permanently ban Trump.
I mean, Pamela, thank you for the rumble rant, but they can go piss off.
Journalists need to remember the difference between a scoop with real sources rather than being the first to publish propaganda.
Crazy guru what?
Okay, we're going to get here in a second.
I just want to read these Rumble Rants as they come in.
And one day, I'll have software that will allow me to show these as we go.
Fraser McBurney says, Case for Cash.
I walked into an Ontario beer store to buy a six-pack.
There was over 12 men standing at the cash.
The debit machine was down.
I bought a 24-paying with AC note.
You want to see men cry.
Okay.
Thank you for the Rumble Rant.
That was an $8 Rumble Rant.
So Podesta and Eyal resigned from Twitter.
This is their own self-serving statement, so let's let that sink in as we read through this.
Members of Twitter's Trust and Safety Council resigned in protest against Elon Musk's safety messages to date.
We are announcing our resignation from Twitter's Trust and Safety Council because it is clear from research evidence that contrary to claims by Elon Musk, the safety and well-being of Twitter users are on the decline.
Oh, really, fool?
Oh, really, fool?
Really?
Tell me how.
It's an unquestionable, undisputed fact.
It's on the decline.
Because there were three times as many hate tweets.
There were 5,000 hate tweets on Thursday of 500 million tweets in a day.
The question has been on our minds.
Should Musk be allowed to define digital safety as he has freedom of expression?
Our answer is a categorical no.
The people who have failed at keeping child pornography, sexual exploitation off Twitter, are lecturing Elon Musk.
Just have that simmering in the back of your mind the entire time.
Erlani Abdul-Rahman and Ann Collier have been members of Twitter's Trust and Safety since 2016.
Erliani was the first female representative from Asia and had served on the council's child sexual exploitation prevention.
First of all, why do I care?
It's not to be mean or demeaning.
Why do I care that someone was the first female representative?
Is that supposed to add authority to their position?
Is that supposed to add credibility?
Is that supposed to add to their competence?
Okay, she's the first female.
Good.
Well, I think you've done screwed up, if those are your criteria.
Anne has been working with social media platforms on youth digital safety for more than 20 years.
I think you've been doing your job pretty terribly then.
We know that even after the resignations and dismissals of thousands of employees, there are people at work at Twitter who care about reducing hate speech and protecting users on the platform.
Ma 'am.
Hate speech is probably not the big thing that people are really worried about right now or even talking about.
You're up there talking about child sexual exploitation, which has been on the platform under your watch for years.
You might be part of the problem.
We are deeply saddened by this decision because Twitter has been a place of joy in many ways.
Yeah, you had free lunches and you had Ubers and you had a four-hour workday.
It was great.
And you got paid.
Good triple digits.
Or work with fellow council members, interact with our professional networks, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah.
Okay.
By the way, when you're going to quit a job, do it publicly and undermine your boss and the company to ensure that you remain thoroughly unemployable for the rest of your days.
They think they're whistleblowers.
They think this is like whistleblowing stuff when they're blowing the whistles on their own incompetence to do their own jobs for the last six years.
Despite lack of acknowledgement on the part of Twitter's new ownership, we would like to acknowledge the hard work of all the...
Oh, you pompous, arrogant, pretentious pricks.
Oh, Elon hasn't thanked the employees enough, so we're going to go ahead and thank the employees.
This is like AOC thanking the employees of Twitter.
People thinking...
They want to feign superiority.
They want to feign ownership that they don't have.
They want to feign competence and importance.
And what better...
Despite the lack of acknowledgement on the part of Twitter's new ownership, we would like to acknowledge the hard work of all members of its Trust and Safety Council over the past six years.
You haven't been doing a very good job because there has been child pornographic material on the platform for years, and you haven't removed it despite having known about it.
The establishment of the Council represented Twitter's commitment to move away from a U.S.-centric approach to U.S. safety.
What the hell does that mean?
Stronger collaboration across regions and the importance of having deeply experienced people on the safety team.
Is there another page to this?
Is that it?
This is...
Oh my goodness.
People who should remain unemployable for the rest of their days.
I don't want to see that.
Hold on.
Go backwards.
Tabernush.
They resign.
Wait a minute.
Y 'all been on the...
I love it.
I love it.
It's like...
You have to think people are stupid.
Y 'all been on the Child Sexual Exploitation Prevention Advisory Group?
You've been doing a very bad job.
And I dare say...
Although technically, I think from an employment law perspective, you're better off getting fired because you can apply for...
How does it work?
Yes, if you quit...
You cannot apply for unemployment insurance, at least in Quebec.
Probably a good thing you resign before you can get fired, you incompetent nincompoops.
You've been doing your job badly.
Let's see.
Hold on.
We're going back to Romo for a second.
Crazy Guru wants this.
So FBI, Fauci's daughter, Podesta's niece, all in the employ of Twitter.
Have I missed anyone?
Anyone see a problem here?
Who was the FBI lawyer that was within Twitter, reviewing the documents to determine whether or not they get disclosed?
Reviewing Taibbi's work?
Who was that?
I forget.
Let me just see this here.
I just want to make sure.
So that's it.
By the way, if you're going to quit your job, make sure you do it in a manner that renders you unemployable.
On a going forward basis.
Because what they've highlighted with that resignation letter, they failed at their jobs.
They failed at loyalty to the company and to the boss who paid them to do their jobs, even though they weren't seemingly apparently doing their jobs.
And they went public with it thinking that they were scoring the moral high ground by...
Undermining the company for which they worked.
Nobody is going to employ somebody who has publicly undermined the company that they just worked for, even if they agree with them, because wake up, people.
Anybody who does that in the past will do it again in the future if they think they're morally justified in doing it.
And anybody who hires these people going forward is going to know that they are hiring people.
Who, if they think they feel morally justified in doing it, will try to publicly undermine land-based and denigrate the company.
Anecdote.
I used to be a lawyer.
I'm still a lawyer, but I'm not a practicing lawyer anymore.
I left a big law firm to start my own law firm.
When I started my own law firm, it was me in a 700 square foot, probably as big as this room, maybe smaller, just me.
And then it grew.
We took on a paralegal.
Then we became we.
And if that paralegal is watching right now, she was the best.
She knew more than me because she knew more than me.
We then took on another lawyer.
And when you get into hiring, you'll know.
It's true in hiring and it's true in dating.
Someone who spends the entire date shitting on their last boyfriend or girlfriend.
Someone who spends an interview complaining about their previous employer, you can pretty much be certain that in the future, on another date, in another interview, they will be shitting on you to their prospective employer.
So, big red flag.
Anybody does that in relationships or business, it's probably not the first time, and it certainly will not be the last time, and the next time they do it, if you decide to hire them...
It's probably going to be you, that they're going to be bad-melting to a third party.
So these idiot employees have now quit in a way, resigned in a way that shows disloyalty, deceitfulness, underhandedness, and anybody who dares think about employing these individuals in the future should probably bear in mind that they'll do it to you too if they think they're allowed to.
Parentheses closed.
Let me see what's going on here.
Hold on.
Okay, so I see all caps, and I hate getting...
I hate getting...
Vraiment vive, says Daisy.
Yep, vive, says Nature Lover.
And I saw another $1 rumble rent.
Jim Baker.
Thank you very much, Crazy Guru.
Jim Baker.
Okay.
So what was I about to bring up here?
There were some more truth bombs from Elon, so I want to make sure I get those.
Oh, we're going to get to POTUS.
We're going to get to POTUS and the worst trade that has ever been made in the history of politics.
Then we're going to get to Gropey McGropstein POTUS touching a woman in a way you're not supposed to touch another woman who's not your wife.
Okay, here we go.
This was a...
Give credit.
If you don't know who Eliza Blue is, go follow her.
She was on for a sidebar.
Amazing person.
Who has the audacity to ask the question to Elon.
Elon waffled a little bit on the answer.
If anybody wants to think, Elon might be a little nervous to answer this question with full knowledge because he does know things that he's probably not allowed to talk about.
Listen to this.
How involved have three-letter agencies been?
Behind the scenes of Twitter, I'm sorry, I'm shifting gears here, but I have to know, you know, FBI, NSA, CIA, DOJ, DOD.
Now that you have to continue to look under the hood a little bit, what exactly are we looking at as American citizens and, you know, citizens of the globe with our three later agencies behind the scenes at Twitter?
Bear in mind, people, at this point in time, we now know the FBI.
I'm not sure that we know necessarily about the CIA, but we've got DOJ, DOD.
I think a number of them are fairly confirmed.
And the three later agencies, just think about this.
CIA, FBI, DOJ, DOD, KGB, CBC, BBC, NPR, CBS, NBC, ABC.
Okay, I'm joking.
Okay, let's just hear what the answer is, because it's a damn good question.
And it was a bit of a shift of gears, and it did even take me a little bit by surprise, and I'm certain.
Look, if there's questions that Elon didn't want to answer or didn't want to have asked, this was one of them.
Let's hear his answer.
Yeah, well, first I'd say it's probably not the case that those agencies are monolithic, in that they're big agencies.
I've had some interaction with the FBI over the years, but I've had more interaction with the CIA.
And you know, I Frankly, actually my general perception of people at the CIA is that they're good people.
I mean, maybe not everyone's good, but the people that I've met at the CIA are good.
I can hear a lot of people saying, oh Jesus, this is Elon defending himself.
This is Elon setting up a defense.
I'll also say this.
I like the fact that Elon sort of, not hems and haws, but clearly has more thoughts going on in his head than he cares to express in any given sentence.
And so I appreciate that I start sentences, stop sentences sometimes, and it's a little tough to follow.
I don't mind being...
I think it resembles a little bit the way Elon talks.
And I will project that it's because Elon has a great many thoughts running around in his head that are faster than he cares to speak.
And so he's very thoughtful in his expression of thought.
But a lot of people might be saying right now, he's got to defend them if he wants to keep his business.
And I'm downplaying it to not put the bad juju out in the universe.
But here, let's hear.
I've met fewer people at the FBI, but I'm sure there are a lot of good people at the FBI, and most people have probably got good motivations.
I haven't seen any sort of smoking gun thing yet, but if we do find something that shows questionable occlusion, then we will surface it and bring it to light.
So, yeah.
Do you believe, sorry, Elon, do you believe that there's a situation with Twitter that will be revealed with the Twitter files where the United States government infringed on any American citizen's First Amendment right?
That's a legal question.
It's certainly possible.
I think we're just trying to get to the bottom of that, and if that turns out to be the case, we will certainly bring it to light.
It's a legal question.
Because whether or not they've infringed on First Amendment rights depends on whether or not you think it's a First Amendment issue when it's Twitter doing it.
Not at the coercion of the government, but at the direction of the government.
He's walking the walk in that, I'll tell you, I tend to respect Elon Musk.
I tend to think he's doing more than anybody out there right now.
I can see how people are going to say he's covering his ass.
He's kissing butt to the FBI.
You know, they're good people, yada, yada.
But the fact that he says, if we find it, we're going to uncover it and we're going to disclose it.
That takes...
It takes balls if it's a sincere commitment, sincere undertaking.
Or it takes deceit if some people are going to say he's never going to do it because it could cost him everything.
And so he'll...
Now become controlled opposition and cover up for the FBI.
But it's a decent answer to a question which is an incredibly difficult question.
If you find out now, you have the keys to the hood, Elon.
You're going to lift this up and find out that someone stole the engine a long time ago.
Do you disclose this knowing that it's going to depreciate the value of your roadster that you thought had a Ferrari F-250 engine?
I don't even know what kind of card that is.
It's a good question from Eliza, and it's a great answer to begin with.
It's a great beginning of an answer from Elon.
Now, hold on before I go forward.
Shima?
Oh, Shamara?
Okay, hold on.
Dude, I don't know.
That's...
Shamara Amote says, Leslie Podesta, John Podesta's niece, was one of three employees that signed and released that resignation letter condemning Elon.
Yeah, I know.
So it's the niece.
It's the niece.
That was a $5 rumble round.
Thank you very much.
Crazy Guru won.
$3 rumble round says, we call them the Alphabet agencies, FBI, CIA, etc.
What is the company that owns Google called Alphabet?
Hmm.
Okay, that's true.
But Alphabet...
Has now been used for the alphabet community, LGBTQ.
LGBTQ2IA +, whatever it's up to have been.
That's what I knew the alphabet community to be for a while, but I think that's because I watch The Amazing Lucas.
But yeah, so that's the alphabet, CIA.
It is funny.
The alphabet agency, CIA, FBI, DOJ, DOD, everything.
Google changed their name to Alphabet.
Elon's got money and lawyers, says Domino7.
Yes, but at some point in time also, everyone's got self-preservation.
Self-preservation at heart.
I think that does it for the Elon Twitter.
There was one more audio.
If it comes back later, it'll come back.
We're going to get into POTUS.
Sorry, we're going to get into discussing POTUS.
So, before that, I just, I want to show this.
People, you may know or think that I am a prude.
And I am.
If you were to see this as the first image of anything, what do you think is going on the ground?
Oh my god, it's so bad actually, because I just realized the tech's on the ground.
On the ground, on the bottom.
Like, this is where being neurotic, being obsessive compulsive, it's a burden, but an asset.
Because if I'm ever on anybody's team, I'm saying, I don't care what the fudge is going on.
I don't care how beautiful this video is.
This could be Joe Biden performing an emergency delivery on the Oval Office floor.
You're not starting any video.
With this first image, I would put a black screen or another image with the audio.
This looks like something bad is going down and the text on the bottom doesn't make it any better.
For those who don't know, this is Brittany Griner's mother, I believe.
Joe Biden telling her that he has secured Brittany Griner's release.
It's the greatest day in American history.
He secured the release of...
I believe identity politics plays a role in here.
A WNBA basketball player.
She happens to be black.
She happens to be a lesbian.
She also is a petty criminal.
And I'm saying a petty criminal as flattery.
As in, she's not a spy.
She's not a murderer.
She just got caught doing something dumb in a foreign country where you don't want to be doing dumb things.
She's a petty criminal.
She has now been successfully traded for the Merchant of Death.
Not the Merchant of Venice.
Some might have even thought that trading her for the Merchant of Venice would have been an unfair trade.
Merchant of Death.
The Merchant of Venice, by the way, was a lawyer.
So we're going to watch this.
But look at this video.
Look at the optics.
This already is terrible.
Let's just see.
Press play, shall we?
This is not how you hold a woman who's not your wife, daughter, niece, or...
This is not how you hold another woman.
It's not how you hold another person who you are not intimately involved with.
She's on the line.
Stop it.
Stop it.
I think we looked at this before.
Great day.
Thank you, guys.
This is such a good day.
Oh, my God.
Stop it.
Yep.
She's on the ground.
Thank you.
Let's slow dance.
Have you ever danced with the devil in the moonlight?
I mean, it's what it looks.
It's so...
Just disgusting.
Disgusting.
Optics are terrible.
It looks more like stop it means let go.
Stop it means let go is your ex.
So, Brittany Griner has been traded.
For the Merchant of Death.
Has anybody seen Lord of War?
I hope everyone has seen Lord of War.
Because the last scene of the movie, spoiler alert, it doesn't matter.
Because it will not affect your appreciation of the movie.
The last scene of the movie is Ethan Hawke interrogating Nicholas Cage, the Merchant of Death, based on a true story.
And saying, someone's going to come into this room.
And you're going to get pulled out and there's nothing you can do about it because this is bigger than you.
I'm going to go free in so many words.
And it might be a little bit late.
It's a few years later.
It's exactly what happened.
A politically connected merchant of death, arms smuggler.
Sorry, no.
Arms dealer.
Released, traded for a basketball player who was arrested on a petty crime.
Excuse me.
P. Moyer says $2 rumble rent.
In that video, there was a disturbing look on the face of Honest A. Blinken, too.
Oh, yeah.
So let's now get some of these.
The shittiest of shitty takes.
I apologize to swear.
They were done.
The shittiest of shitty takes.
What is this?
Is this the story?
Nope.
We're going to save this one for later.
Stop that.
The...
I'd like to see Michelle and Malcolm Gladwell defending this.
The media defending this.
Sorry, I'm going to have to go through this.
Okay, that's not the right one.
So let's bring that out.
Remove.
We'll get to the right links in a second.
We're not on that one yet.
Someone's got to fire the producer of this show.
My goodness.
Come on.
Three of us resign.
This I can close because we already got to this.
I guess I do need two computers, but I don't want to complicate things.
Here.
Here we go.
This is not the right.
Do I not have anything more on this?
The Brittany Griner trade.
you Thank you.
It's time for Senate hearings.
No, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to find this.
Well, that might be it for...
Here we go!
My goodness, thank goodness.
I want people to understand something also.
The idea that anybody says this was a fair trade, there's very few people who are actually saying this is a fair trade.
They're implicitly acknowledging it's a terrible trade.
Because the takes on Twitter, Trump was in office for two years and couldn't negotiate the release of...
Of Whelan, the Navy guy.
They are implicitly, if not explicitly, acknowledging this is a terrible trade.
And Trump was not prepared to negotiate the release of Whelan.
W-H-E-L-A-N.
People have gone straight into demonizing.
Whelan now is no longer a member of the Navy who served his country.
They're trying to turn Whelan into what Brittany Griner actually is.
Just a petty criminal.
I say that without judgment.
She's a petty criminal.
She smuggled drugs into Russia.
Just a petty criminal.
Appreciate, though, the more that they try to argue that this was a fair trade, the more they're demonizing Brittany Griner.
The more they're basically saying that a black lesbian basketball player...
Who was convicted or pleaded guilty to smuggling marijuana vapes into Russia was as dangerous, notorious, destructive, awful of a human as, what's his name?
Victor Boot.
Because that's the only way to make sense of the trade.
Otherwise, if you just say that Brittany Griner is just an athlete who got arrested on some stupid charge, they fucked up on the trade.
Oh, she's not a big player.
She's not a big criminal.
She's just an innocent young woman who got, you know, busted for doing something.
Well, then you kind of screwed up.
How do you trade an innocent young woman who got busted on a minor drug charge for the merchant of death?
So the harder that they have to go and push for the fact that this is a fair trade, the more they have to demonize Brittany Griner.
The more serious of a criminal they have to make her into.
The more of a political pawn.
Of substantial value they have to turn her into.
But listen to this.
I think we talked about this the other day.
It doesn't matter.
For anybody who doesn't know.
Is one of the most dangerous men on the face of the earth.
On the face of the earth.
Without a doubt.
Mike Braun, the former chief of operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, told us Boot first exploded on the scene in war-torn West Africa in the late 1980s.
Everybody has to watch Lord of War.
AK-47s, not by the thousands, but by the tens of thousands.
player who got arrested for marijuana vape.
So he weaponizes civil war in Africa.
He transformed these young adolescent warriors into insidious Insidious, mindless, maniacally driven killing machines that operated with assembly line efficiencies.
Now 43, boot from the Soviet Republic of Tajikistan, is a mystery man who reportedly served in the Soviet Air Force, an intelligence service.
The U.S. has indicted him on four terror-related charges.
Terror, terror.
They negotiate.
I made a joke on Twitter.
Joe Biden doesn't just negotiate with terrorists because they have not designated Putin a terrorist yet.
In fact, Joe Biden has avoided labeling Putin a terrorist, but I think you get the idea of the point being made.
I said they don't just negotiate with terrorists.
They now release them.
This man, by any political humanitarian metric, is the equivalent of a terrorist.
Who's been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, without exaggeration.
You give machetes to Rwanda, where they can kill 800,000 people with machetes in a week.
Joe Biden does not just negotiate with terrorists.
He releases them.
Including conspiracy to kill Americans.
What makes him a threat to the United States?
He is a shadow facilitator.
He's arming not only designated terrorist groups, insurgent groups, but he's also arming very powerful drug trafficking cartels around the globe.
Taking advantage of Russian military contacts at the highest levels in the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I'm sure he lost those contacts as well, you know.
Nothing like 12 years in jail to...
Allow you to maintain, reestablish, and foment contacts.
I'm sure.
He'll be harmless.
He's a puppy dog.
He only conspired to kill Americans.
But they got Brittany Griner back.
Not Whelan.
And I saw some rumbarounds.
I'll get to them in a second.
Not Whelan, though.
A Marine.
Federal prosecutors allege Brute essentially became a one-stop shop, offering an unlimited supply of stockpiled Cold War weapons to bad guys around the world.
Charles Taylor.
Including Charles Taylor of Liberia.
Who's now on trial for war crimes.
According to the U.S. indictment, Boot had a unique selling point when it came to weapons trafficking.
A fleet of cargo airplanes capable of transporting weapons and military equipment anytime, anywhere.
More than 60 planes in all.
His own private air force.
Those Russian aircraft were built like flying dump trucks.
He could move this stuff and drop it with pinpoint accuracy.
To any desert, to any jungle, to any other remote place in the world, right into the hands of what I refer to as the potpourri of global scum.
Nibubsch, and I thank you for the question, because I don't mistaken title names for any reason other than the fact that I'm an idiot.
Nibubsch, $5 Rumbrand, says, Whelan Whelan is a Marine.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Always a Marine.
Ura!
And Marines never leave a man behind.
They left a man behind.
We're going to get into the clip that's going to blow your...
Can I swear again?
I feel like I've been swearing a lot more than I've ever sworn in the last five years.
I do believe that a single basketball cannot cause the same damage as 800 surface-to-air missiles.
Worst trade in history.
Crazy Guru.
$2 rumble rant.
I feel like my descent into black-pilledness can be reflected by my willingness and propensity to swear.
I swear.
It's not that I don't swear in private.
I swear.
One time, nobody remembers this, but I used to have this Roadrunner metallic piece of art that I bought from the Eastern Townships for my wife for our anniversary.
Imagine a big Roadrunner made out of recycled metal.
And it had a sharp metal beak, and it was on like a wheel thing, so it would actually do like that thing.
Well, I smashed my forehead into it.
I swore so loud, I swear to you, like the neighborhood heard.
But I've been swearing a lot more these days, and that might be an indication of my frustration with the world, but fudge it.
I was going to say the F word.
Okay.
They traded a basketball player for The Merchant of Death.
And that's CBS's description of it.
And I jokingly said, you know, how long until CBS scrubs that from the intro?
Listen to another one.
Hold on.
Hold on.
What was I about to say about that?
Here we go.
Anybody with worth their...
Political weight insult knows.
This wasn't a bad trade.
It was exploitation.
It was having someone steal your lunch money and then give you their disgusting...
What's the thing that people don't...
They just stole your peanut butter and jelly sandwich and they gave you a tuna sandwich.
That's even a bad analogy because tuna sandwiches are healthier and a kid should want to eat it.
Joe Biden had his lunch money stolen.
Everybody knows it.
It's a disgrace, it's an embarrassment, and it makes the world more dangerous than it was yesterday.
But thank goodness we got Brittany Griner back in the Americas, where I currently reside.
Set that aside.
Everybody knows it's an absolute joke of a trade.
It's an embarrassment of a trade.
Everybody knows it, including Russia media.
Now, by the way, I've read a number of...
Uh, replies to make sure the translation is accurate.
Listen to this.
Love them or hate them.
And a lot of people hate the Russians.
They are patriotic in a way that Americans and Canadians for that matter could learn a thing or two from.
Patriotism is not a flaw.
It's actually an attribute.
If you don't love your country.
I know someone's having a field day with this right now.
If you don't love your country and you don't want to defend your country and you don't want to protect your country and you want to sacrifice your country, don't think that patriotic nations out there are not going to pick up on that.
Some people might think that my critique of my country is a sign of lack of patriotism.
My critique of my country and my steadfast attack on the current administration is not...
Because of a lack of patriotism.
It's because I love my country.
And as much as I love a pet, and as much as I love a child, and as much as I love another human, I do not like seeing that human hurt themselves.
I do not like seeing that human sacrifice themselves.
I don't like seeing them going to waste.
That's what I do see going on in Canada, and I see too many Canadians cheering it on.
So the angrier I get, it's not a question of disdain.
And lack of patriotism.
It's a question of the amount of patriotism I have.
I have seen what a true lack of patriotism looks like.
Self-hatred.
Self-demonizing.
Love them or hate them.
Russians are patriotic and love...
That's the old joke, you know, they love the motherland.
And they understand it.
And they understand when someone is acting in a way that does not reflect a love for the motherland.
And when you have Russian political commentators looking at Joe Biden saying, this guy's acting in such a way that does not reflect a love for the motherland, his own motherland.
Well, shit, we just stole his lunch.
We just punched him in the face.
We rubbed his nose.
We made him lick the white doo-doo, like in Step Brothers.
We made him lick it, and we made him say that he loves it.
And listen to this, if you had any doubts.
To, что обменяли Бута все-таки на Грайнер, а не на Уилма.
Я, во-первых, поздравляю Бута, поздравляю всю его семью.
Мы много лет были на связи с его семьей.
Насколько было это возможно с ним самим, насколько это было возможно общались, это, конечно, огромная радость, облегчение для всех нас.
Ну, для всех нас, ладно, что это для семьи, я даже не могу себе представить.
Но то, что его обменяли...
Hold on a second.
I'm realizing maybe I should be reading this out loud.
I'm going to read this out loud for the podcast version because if people listening to this on podcast, they're not going to know.
I'm going to lower the volume because it's Russian.
A sound that can actually make people become...
I'm going to read the text as it goes.
And I'm going to start again.
And I apologize, but we're going to do this.
Of course, I was very amused.
But not surprised.
This is Margarita Simonian.
That bout was exchanged for Griner and not Whelan.
First of all, it's going too fast.
I don't read that fast.
First of all, I congratulate Boot and his entire family.
That's making Joe Biden lick the white, crusty doo-doo.
For years we have been in touch with his family, for many years.
And with him personally, to the extent it was possible.
We communicated with him to the extent that we could.
Of course, this is a huge joy and a relief for all of us.
Russia.
I can't even imagine what this means to his family.
Russia.
But he was not exchanged for the heroic spy.
Because he is a spy.
Whelan is a spy.
He was apprehended while receiving information on a flash drive.
He said he was supposed to get photos of churches on a flash drive.
You send church photos through WhatsApp, right?
That's where you get them.
Look where I've been.
You don't get a flash drive brought to you for that.
Quality would be decent, no worse than on a flash drive.
He's a spy.
Therefore, to them, he is a hero.
This is confession through projection.
Coming from a Russian spokesperson saying, he's a spy, so he should be a hero.
Take it for what it's worth.
That's what it is.
But it's someone who understands how to negotiate the importance, the respective political value of a spy, of someone who served the country, to an athlete who got busted on petty drug charges.
She understands it.
This Russian spokesperson.
What's the word I'm looking for?
She's a Russian mouthpiece for the government.
She understands it.
Joe Biden understands it.
Everybody coming to the defense of Joe Biden to say this is the greatest trade ever understands it.
That's why they're doing it.
He is a hero.
A decorated Marine covered in metals.
He has only one, no two, no three problems.
There you go.
His first problem is that he is white.
Hold on.
I skipped over the line.
His first problem is that he's white.
His second problem is he is a man.
I'm reading the text right now.
I'm not expressing my own personal opinion.
Although I think I tend to agree with this.
His third problem, he's a heterosexual.
This is not something that can be forgiven today.
It's just a catastrophe.
Yes, here Griner beats him in every aspect.
American voters were given a choice.
A hero who suffered while serving his fatherland, they refer to it as fatherland because they still have respect for the nation that one chose to sacrifice himself to serve.
A metal-covered hero who has suffered during his service to his fatherland, the United States, or a black lesbian hooked on drugs who suffered for a vape with hashish and well-known for the sake of PR, the guy interrupts, American voters are choosing the obvious.
I think that for us...
Oh, that's very interesting right there.
I missed that.
I think that for us is one piece of good news, she says.
The first good news is that Boot has returned.
By the way, it really sounds like he lost all of his Russian connections.
He won't be able to do exactly what he was arrested for in the first place.
The world is less safe because of Joe Biden.
Congratulations.
And the second good news is that a nation that spits on its heroes to the extent that it considers it significantly more important to free a rightfully charged, well-known athlete.
She didn't suffer because she served her motherland.
So do they change motherland or fatherland depending on the sex of the individual who served it?
I thought it would have been fatherland or motherland.
Regardless, it's interesting here.
But because she couldn't live for 10 hours without hashish, instead of freeing the person in prison for two years for serving his motherland, now she's using it differently, this says a lot about the state of this society, of these intelligence agencies.
And everything related to geopolitical confrontation.
I don't know who this woman is, this person is.
I don't mean woman in that sense.
I don't know who this woman is or was before this.
But holy shit, if you're not embarrassed right now, as anyone involved in this trade, you're not embarrassed only because you have no shame.
Crazy Guru says, let me help you with the swearing part issue.
Just say merde instead.
They understand patriotism.
They understand politics.
They understand the freefall of the spirituality of a nation.
They understand the freefall of the nationalistic sentiment of a nation.
Congratulations!
There is a known terrorist supplier.
Release to the public.
There is a Marine still in captivity.
And the people who say, well, Trump didn't negotiate him.
Well, you know what?
Biden didn't negotiate the release of Whelan either.
Either because he couldn't or because he didn't want to.
And now he gave up his biggest poker chip.
He gave up his best card for Brittany Griner, who...
A human did not have any political value.
Congratulations.
What's it going to take to negotiate the release of Whelan?
Alaska.
I said that the other day as a joke.
Okay.
And I made a joke.
How long until CBS deletes that report on Victor Boot?
Check this out.
So this is funny.
This is from Congressman...
This goes back to Elon Musk, but it dovetails with everything we've just been talking about now.
Coverage on the Twitter files.
NBC News, zero minutes.
ABC News, zero minutes.
CBS News, zero minutes.
They're all in on it.
Well, they learned the lesson from what happens when you put too much emphasis on it, like Hillary's emails.
And I just said, not only do they not report on the real news, but they delete the stories where they accidentally do report on the real news.
And here we got NBC retracting its Paul Pelosi story.
Where is Miguel Almagadar?
What's his last name?
Miguel?
Ah, you know.
Where's Miguel?
NBC retracts their Paul Pelosi story, and CBS retracts, or partially retracts, their Ukrainian story.
How long until...
Which one was it that did that one?
I think it was CBS.
How long until they retract that Victor Boots story?
Because people are going to realize it's not just a bad trade.
It destabilizes international security.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, people.
Okay, let me see what's going on in the Rumble Rants.
Okay, let me see.
There's still a few more links here that we have to get to.
An hour and 26 minutes.
My wife hasn't bothered me yet.
Not bothered me.
Hasn't told me to get...
Okay, what's this?
Let's do some fun stuff.
Okay.
John Cusack came out and said...
What's the tweet?
What's the tweet?
Here, look at this.
It's so amazing.
There's a couple of nice celebrity stupid tweets.
Like, do you not understand?
I think about this every single time I tweet.
What's someone going to go back and find in my tweet history?
So I tweet wisely and accordingly.
John Cusack.
This was yesterday.
It's so easy to spot a troll.
Think about this.
A bunch of keywords thrown into aggressive word salad.
Elon's been busy innovating.
Are you still alive, libtard?
Okay.
Spot a troll.
Keywords thrown into an aggressive word salad.
Elon's army of trolls are attacking.
The pseudo-humans.
The bot non-people swarm.
Free speech.
Hilarious.
That sounds like a word salad with a bunch of things thrown in for an attack.
This one's the best.
Hey, are you still seeing my tweets?
Or has Mushman...
Started the shadow ban or whatever it is when algorithms kick you off.
They don't even understand how hypocritical they are.
But I will say this.
I'm not saying I'm influenced by the king of grift, Nick Ricada.
But I can learn from success.
I have not been doing a good enough job selling my own merch.
People, confession through projection.
Get your shirt today in time for Christmas.
Gold, Goldorak Dan.
Goldorak Dan.
Supposedly, U.S. tried to get two for one.
Russia said no, but was open to two for two.
U.S. said no to that.
Gold or...
It doesn't even matter.
It's the shittiest trade in the history of political trades.
Okay, so that's one fun thing.
We're going to change up the pace a little bit.
That's my handle.
That was...
That's my handles of my chair that go up and down and front and back.
So John Cusack's an idiot with lack of insight, as are most celebrities in Hollywood, including...
It's glorious.
It's glorious.
Bette Midler.
Haven't heard of her in a while, but...
Let me see if I just...
Oh, here we go.
Those...
Ordinarily, when you see someone tweet those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities, it's because they're not idiots.
Every now and again, however, you get people who are idiots, thinking they've learned the lessons of history.
Bette Midler!
Oh, this one was so good.
I just want everyone to know.
Like, my method?
I don't know who's tweeted dumb stuff in the past.
I just know that if someone tweets something like this and I go and find a dumb tweet in the past, they're busted.
And I didn't know what to go look for in terms of Google or search words for a tweet that would make them look like idiots for having tweeted this.
Bette Midler, she took the red pill.
Bette Midler had a revelation.
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
I believe this was...
Was it Nietzsche?
I think it was Nietzsche who said it.
Let me just...
I think it's Nietzsche.
Voltaire.
Sorry.
I knew it was one of the...
What are they called?
The people who were in tune with their emotions.
Whatever.
Voltaire.
Voltaire said, those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
And I'm like, oh my goodness, Bette Midler has finally taken the red pill.
No, she's just an absolute idiot.
Listen to this.
Hold on.
Okay.
This is the woman, the person, who happens to be a woman, who tweeted, those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
One tweet that I found?
Bette Midler.
This is nothing short of terrifying.
It is your duty to read it.
Your country is under the thumb of a traitor and madman.
Read former FBI deputy McCabe.
Full statement after being fired.
Oh, that's not so bad.
Okay, look, she just thinks Trump is a traitor and a madman.
That's not so bad.
I can understand that.
Okay.
Here's another one.
January 6th.
You called for this insurrection in response to Donald Trump's tweet which says, please support our Capitol Police and law enforcement.
They are truly on the side of our country.
Stay peaceful.
In response to that, the woman, the person, the Hollywood brain-dead celebrity who's saying, those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities, has believed in absurdity.
Stay peaceful, says Donald Trump.
What does she read?
You called for this insurrection.
You are 100% responsible for this.
Don't try to hide behind fake rhetoric and suddenly pretend you didn't.
We heard you and you are a traitor.
In case you didn't think she could get any more batshit crazy than this, she can and she does.
This is several months later.
Bette Midler.
If my kid can't bring peanut butter to school, then yours can't bring the deathly plague.
Vaccinate, or I'm bringing the jiffy.
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
And this woman is threatening my children if they're not vaccinated.
Do tell me.
But this is the best one.
Not in chronological order.
Hashtag Donald Trump.
Anybody who starts a tweet with a hashtag is an idiot.
Just so you know.
I think this kills any form of...
Oh, this one did well for her.
Hashtag Donald Trump killed people at the insurrection.
If he had put a gun to their heads, he could not have done a more efficient job.
And two policemen killed themselves from shame.
Have you no hearts?
Hashtag Republicans.
Never again say hashtag Blue Lives Matter.
You're fucking liars.
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
Do you want to know how stupid Bette Midler happens to be?
Okay.
Thank you.
What the heck is Jiffy?
What is Jiffy?
Jiffy mix.
What the heck is Jiffy?
Yeah, Jiffy is buttermilk paint.
Is that not what Jiffy is?
So I believe she got mistaken between Jiffy and Jif.
Those who can make you believe atrocities.
Sorry, those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
Now, Donald Trump literally killed people.
He could have put a gun to their heads and it would have been more efficient.
Get your children vaccinated.
Republicans are murderers.
And what was the other one?
Psychopaths.
Supposedly, the U.S. tried to get too far.
I got that one.
Sorry.
Navy NAMVET.
$5 Rumbarant says, I wonder if the international community was okay to be unleashing this monster back into the world.
It's a good question.
I bet you they didn't know a damn thing about it.
We'll see.
Wyatt Gunner says, love my country, always have, always will, USA.
And then there was another one.
Nibubsch.
$3 rum rent.
All the Hollywood people and miscellaneous who have gone full...
R-word.
I'm not going to say that.
Since Trump are definitely people who do show most stuff?
Okay, been victims of defending...
Okay, they're gross and evil people.
I'll just leave it at that.
Thank you, Nibush.
So, Bette Midler is the person who can believe absurdities and commit atrocities.
Congratulations, Bette.
You played yourself.
Okay.
What's this one here?
Has it ever occurred to you?
Let's go to Adam Schiff now.
Adam Schiff is a liar.
He's a demonstrable, proven, pathological liar.
I don't make fun of his eyes.
I know people do.
I don't make fun of his eyes because I think it might be something clinical that's beyond him.
I don't think his eyes look like that because he's...
His soul is being sucked out by the devil.
I think he might have something clinical, which explains the eyes, and I choose not to make fun of people for the way they look.
That being said, I mean, I understand it's the easy, low-hanging fruit of a joke.
He's a liar.
Like, he's the most insidious, malicious liar, because when he was lying about evidence that he saw behind closed doors, that smoking gun, concrete evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians, it was a lie.
And he exploited his political status to make those lies, knowing that he couldn't be pursued personally for those lies, and also knew that people could not contradict those lies because of confidentiality obligations that were incumbent upon them.
So he knowingly lied with impunity, and the lie dissipated into the ether.
Adam Schiff, in as much as someone can be evil, without being Ted Bundy, Adam Schiff is evil.
He's an evil, pathological, demonstrable, verifiable, confirmed liar.
And what do the victimizers do?
What do the truest of the victimizers do to conceal the fact that they're victimizers?
They purport to be the victims.
And they invoke identity politics, ethnicity, race, religion, to look like they are protecting The vulnerable.
That's what they do.
They conceal and cloak their own abuse behind the purported, feigned impression that they are somehow defending the vulnerable when they are actually exploiting the vulnerable to conceal their lies and evil wrongdoing.
This is Elon.
This is Adam Schiff.
Adam Schiff tweets, by the way, all lies.
Lies.
Demonstrable lies.
Verifiable lies.
Proven lies.
Hey, Elon.
He's on a first-name basis with Elon now.
Under your leadership, neo-Nazis, homophobes, and racists are flocking to Twitter.
Lie, lie, and lies.
The spike that they had were bot accounts, and I'll even go, I'm going to hypothesize, I will say politically motivated.
Bot accounts.
Politically motivated trolls who want to fabricate the hate so they can then invoke the hate to demonize the person that they have set up for the hate.
That's my belief.
A lot of these journalists who come out and say, I've received all this hate mail and death threats and all this stuff.
I actually genuinely believe they either send it to themselves or there are people who they know will send it to them.
Anonymously.
So they don't direct anybody to do it.
They don't know them.
But they know that it's part and parcel of the game.
The more racist, misogynist, hateful death threats that they get by way of email, text messages, tweets, the more they get to claim to be the victim and achieve a higher status of being in the interim.
I believe that.
I know that it's a belief that it's very difficult to substantiate in the absence of concrete evidence other than that guy from California, Wiener.
Who allegedly got some sort of a threatening message and forgot that he had a gosh darn cursor at the end of his own message indicating he drafted it and sent it to himself?
What's that guy's name?
You can help me out with that.
Adam Schiff is a liar who exploits minorities for political capital.
Hey Elon, under your leadership, neo-Nazis, homophobes, and racists are flocking to Twitter.
Lie, lie, lie.
And spewing hate speech.
Lie.
Your denial would be more credible if it was backed up by any real evidence.
Your assertion would be more credible, liar, if it were backed up with any real evidence.
And if it wasn't followed by a bunch of anti-Semitic QAnon tweets attacking me.
Oh, poor Adam Schiff.
He's getting anti-Semitic tweets and he says they're from QAnon.
But the amazing thing, there's two amazing things to this.
So let me read my response and then tell you what those two amazing things are.
So let me read my response.
I'm treading in murky water here.
Adam Schiff, has it ever occurred to you, Adam Schiff, that people hate you not because you're Jewish, But because you are a pathological liar and a genuinely awful human being.
I am Jewish.
People don't seem to hate me the way they hate you.
Two things shocked me about this, and for good reasons, and for good reasons.
It shocked me that people didn't know that...
Some people were saying, I never knew that Adam Schiff was Jewish until he said it.
That I can understand.
Schiff, setting aside the name, which, you know...
There's stereotypes and then there's historical explanations.
A lot of Jewish names in the West come from European Jews who fled Nazi Germany and Poland and Austria, had Germanic last names and came to North America with those Germanic last names.
I was told by someone that I once had a crush on back when I was a child, younger, a German woman whose grandfather served in the...
World War II for Hitler.
Apparently, one of the ways of identifying a Jewish last name is that it means something in German.
So you have Schneider, which means Taylor.
You have Freiheit, which means freedom.
You have Arbeiter, which means worker or judge.
I forget which.
Arbeiter is either worker or judge.
You have the Burg, which means from a city.
Now, these are not stereotypically Jewish names.
In Germanic countries.
Just the way history has been the way it has been, a lot of the people who left and fled Europe pre-World War II left with Germanic names.
So a lot of the Jewish refugees to North America bear these Germanic last names.
That's what I was told in any event by someone whose grandfather had served for Adolf Hitler.
So other than Adam Schiff, which...
Some people might historically be able to identify as more likely than not a Jewish-Germanic last name in North America.
Schiff looks like he's tall.
Hold on a second.
How tall is Adam Schiff?
Not that all Jewish people are short.
5 '11".
You get into six feet territory.
I can understand people not knowing it based on traditional physiological stereotypes.
What I'm always encouraged...
It's when people say, Viva, I didn't know you were Jewish.
I don't talk about it very often.
I'm not ashamed.
It's just that it is not a defining element that I invoke to justify my positions or to undermine others.
The fact that I'm born Jewish, I'm a very, very unpracticing, bad Jewish boy.
I like bacon.
I like shrimp.
I like lobster.
I like all of the sinful foods, and I eat them.
I don't talk about it because it's not something that I think validates my opinions or invalidates others.
If people want to know historically my story, it's relevant.
It's relevant as to who I am as a human.
It's not relevant to any of my political opinions.
It's not relevant to undermining any of your political opinions.
But I love the fact that people, you know, looking at 5 '6 with this mug, David Frye.
Youngest of five kids from a family of lawyers that they don't know or suspect that I'm Jewish, it's wonderful.
It's a wonderful level of naivety that allows people to say, at the very least, I'm a good person because I don't even know to have these stereotype reflexive actions in the first place.
But I'm not vocal about it, but I'm Jewish.
And every night, you know, you get the Mossad, you get the accusations, you get the controlled opposition accusations.
And all of this stuff.
But the reality is, like, people hate Schiff.
Not because he's Jewish.
Because some people didn't even know he's Jewish.
They hate him because he's a damn liar.
Pathological.
But then he tries to cloak the critique.
He tries to hide from the critique by invoking aspects of identity politics.
It's terrible.
Kneeboob says Adam Schiff is a leaker.
He is a...
Oh, homo.
Chomo is not about...
He's a child molester.
Okay, I don't...
Allegedly.
I'm not making that statement as a statement.
In fact, I'm reading a rumble rant.
Allegedly.
And his friend, Ed Buck, has killed more unarmed black men than the Minneapolis PD.
Also, shalom, fellow Jay.
Nibush.
That's one heck of a rumble rant.
Sweet Jesus.
Well, now I know what C-H-O-M-O means.
I thought it was...
I thought it was like the...
Okay, I'm reading some chats that I'm not going to read.
Okay, real truth.
I saw it.
I'm not reading that chat.
BN1856, a $20 rumble and says, thanks for your time and clarity of thought.
Thank you.
I hope my thought is clear enough.
I know sometimes I can be accused of not being clear.
Adam Schiff is a very, very bad man.
And...
God, if I can...
If one day Lex Friedman...
Invites me on to talk about the Kanye West stuff.
The terrible thing is that this is a lesson my father taught me, and I hope I'm not going to embarrass him by telling the world this.
I'm Jewish.
I'm not shy to recognize I look Jewish.
I abide by a great many Jewish stereotypes.
My name is David.
I'm the youngest of five kids.
I'm a lawyer.
A number of things.
Okay.
Some people say stereotypes are just time-tested true likelihoods of statistical probabilities.
The problem is, and the reality is, when you represent a demographic, a minority, and you behave well, you reflect well on that minority, that demographic.
When you behave badly, you reflect poorly on that demographic.
And my father always said, Like it or not, you represent a group of people.
And he's right.
And so I don't invoke my Judaism to try to say, look, I think I'm honest, I think I'm good, and I think I'm righteous in a way, to say, therefore, the entire group that I de facto represent is as well.
No, we are all individuals.
The problem is when you act badly and you are a member of a minority or a group, People will derive, decipher, broader rules from that individual example.
That's the way the human brain works.
And so when Adam Schiff and other politicians lie, cheat, defame, smear, denigrate, when they do all these things, don't expect people, I mean, you can understand people are going to say, I understand that's an individual, but they are representing a group nonetheless, even if they're not.
And that's where, for good and for bad, people will draw rules and conclusions from individual examples, which is why I try to always be good.
Hold on.
Someone just said, put Vivo on the spot, Vivo.
Hold on.
Did I miss something?
I'm back in the rumble rants.
Joel X says, you've got one of the best Jufros I've ever seen.
The Jufro is a thing.
It's a stereotype.
If anybody's seen Knocked Up, was it Knocked Up or 40-Year-Old Virgin?
Come on, Seth, do you think with your Jufro?
Look, there it is.
Bottom line, my identity, my ethnicity does nothing to add credibility or undermine my arguments.
My ideas stand on their own or they fall on their own.
Adam Schiff is a very, very bad man, not because of who he is as a race, ethnicity, or culture, but as an individual.
Just truly an awful human being.
Okay, let's change gears a little bit.
Just to...
Okay.
I don't know who J.D. Kochio...
I've read some things.
You're going to put the chats.
I'm not going to read them.
Gen Z activist, Democrat digital strategist, Florida Democrat, he, him.
With the flag.
A lot of red flags going on in that Twitter profile.
I don't care about any of that.
The only thing I care about is that this guy seems to be tweeting the exact same message over and over and over and over again.
If Joe Biden controls gas prices, why aren't Republicans thanking him for the recent drop in cost?
December 9, 2022.
J.D. Cocherella.
If Joe Biden controls gas prices, why aren't Republicans praising him for the recent drop in costs?
December 2nd, 2022.
July 6th.
If Joe Biden controls gas prices, why aren't Republicans praising him for the recent drop in costs?
But wait, there's more.
When's this one from?
July 18th.
Still waiting for Republicans to thank President Biden for 34...
I mean, is this what politics has come to?
Like...
Political spam?
And I guess I understand the idea that you have to repeat a message over and over again for people to absorb it.
But is this what political strategy has come to?
Just keep flooding the interwebs with verbal Twitter diarrhea.
Okay, let's see.
I'm going down here and some of the gas prices are down.
Says anything?
You can say that again, Izzy Rex.
Adam Pencilneck Schiff with Buck.
Come on.
No, that's not what I want to read.
Okay, there's a lot.
Viva is frugal, but not overly so.
Dude, I'll tell you one thing.
Chrometa 12?
This has nothing to do with racial or ethnic or religious stereotypes.
I tip.
I make it my business to tip, to not be frugal with tipping because there are some things where...
This is something you realize when you move countries.
You can scrounge and you can try to save and you can try to buy the cheaper milk at the grocery store.
You can get shitty orange juice instead of good orange juice because you'll save too much.
And then you get slapped with a $500 traffic ticket, a $10,000 moving bill.
You try to pinch and save and save on the small stuff and then you get slapped with the big stuff.
It teaches you not to be stupid about the small stuff because the small stuff is not what hurts people at the end of the day.
It's the big stuff.
Okay, that was random.
Okay, let's do this.
Executive summary of Carrie Lake's lawsuit against Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Katie Hobbs.
Oh, this is going to be impossible.
Complaint in special action and verified statement of election contest.
Carrie Lake is officially contesting...
The election in Maricopa County.
Here we go.
Summary of case.
This is all we're going to read because I can't even bring this up.
Summary of case.
The eyes of the country are on Arizona.
November 30th, 2022, Rasmussen Reports published a poll of likely U.S. voters asking about election day problems with vote tabulation in Maricopa County.
The poll asked whether respondent voters agreed or disagreed with contestant Carrie Lake's statements calling the elections botched, not fraudulent.
And stating, this isn't about Republicans or Democrats.
This is about our sacred right to vote.
A right that many voters were sadly deprived of on election day, November 8th.
The results of the polling are stunning.
72% said they agree with this statement.
45% strongly agree.
The number of illegal votes cast in Arizona's general election on November 8, 2022 far exceeds the margin of error.
Yada, yada, yada.
In addition, on election day, thousands of Republican voters were disenfranchised as a result of Maricopa County's election officials' misconduct.
In connection with the widespread voter tabular printers, failures at 60% of the 223 vote centers in Maricopa County.
To double-check that number.
Talked about at the time.
Just a few days before the public learned, Secretary Hobbs and Maricopa County affectional officials, including recorder Steve Richard, participated in an unconstitutional government censorship operation using an election misinformation reporting portal created by the Department of Homeland Security.
By the way, this is something that not a lot of people are talking about.
One of the things that was revealed on part of the Twitter dump.
State and local election officials Officials sent censorship requests to the election misinformation recording portal, which the federal government, in partnership with social media companies and other platforms like Twitter and Facebook, would then remove speech they did not like from public view.
We all know what we saw about the Hunter Biden laptop story and the impact it had on 2020.
They did the same thing.
Smaller scale, 2022.
And it's come to light.
But it's a big nothing burger, these Twitter files, right?
There is much more.
The debacle that occurred in Maricopa County on November 8, Election Day, was chaos.
Maricopa County's Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates admitted on live TV.
I've got it saved, Kerry.
I know you know that I've got it saved.
During a press conference held shortly after Election Day, Republicans vote at a three to one ratio over Democrats on Election Day and thus were disproportionately affected.
Tabulated rejection of thousands of ballots set off a domino chain of election electoral improprieties, rampant administrative chaos and confusion, lengthy delays at polling sites, and ultimately the prevention of qualified voters from having their votes counted.
Video footage, first-hand accounts, and expert testimony directly contradict Maricopa County officials'public statements.
deliberately attempting to downplay these events.
Such acts, along with the government's censorship programs described above.
Yada, yada, yada, only served to amplify Americans' deepening distrust in our election system.
The evidence, including detailed sworn declaration by a cyber expert who, among other things, spent nine years testing electronic voting machines on behalf of the same voting system testing lab that certified the machines in Maricopa shows that the machines' failures Arizona voters experienced in Maricopa County could not have occurred absent intentional misconduct.
I might have skipped on that.
I might have skipped on that.
But by the way, not only did Bill Gates admit it, Viva Frye, Mark Elias.
Mark Elias put forward the most compelling argument possible.
Is this it?
Oh, I hope that video is still up.
Hold on one second.
Viva Fry, Mark Elias, Twitter, Arizona.
He...
Thank you.
Here, let's just see.
I'm going to try to find the video.
Oh, come on.
I'm not going to be able to find the video.
Oh, come on.
Viva Fry, Mark Elias.
This is not possible.
Mark, I don't care about...
Mark Elias put out a video, he says, you know why they were disenfranchised?
You know why?
Because Republicans voted against certain things.
You know why there were long lineups?
Because he admits long lineups, disenfranchised, non-matching votes, signatures.
He admits all three things, but blames it on the Republicans.
You what?
I've got a child coming in for the plug here.
Plug it in.
Carrie Lake is doing that.
That's going to be the basis of the lawsuit.
It's on the ground.
It's on the ground.
I'm working.
I'm working here.
Come on!
Just plug it.
It's okay.
And now, what else do I have on the...
Get out of here.
Damn kids.
Don't respect a Saturday night stream.
Shifting gear entirely.
I think we might end...
You know what?
I was going to do the Loudoun County School Board.
Let's do this.
I'm not reading through the grand jury report that just came out.
Robert Gouveia, watching The Watchers, put out a video, an hour-long video, and I watched the entire thing, going through the grand jury.
It's not called the indictment.
What's the word I'm looking for?
The grand jury report about the debacle in Loudoun County.
It's a criminal level debacle.
There's no other way to put it.
The student who was accused of having raped another student, sexually assaulted another one at the new school that he went to, transferred.
The student was transferred.
From one school to another without the reason for the transfer being disclosed to anybody else at the schools because school administrators or whoever the dude was thought it was politically toxic to out this criminal, this sexual assaulter because the individual was trans.
And seemingly, apparently felt that the politics of the situation outweighed the safety of the students.
It is the most damning report you can possibly imagine.
Robert Gouveia goes through it in meticulous detail that we don't need to go through now.
But we're going to just read how it's being covered by the mainstream media.
And I'll give you a hint.
It's barely being covered by the mainstream media.
Grand jury Loudoun County School Board bears brunt of blame in sex assault of students.
A Virginia grand jury said Loudoun County Public School administrators displayed a stunning lack of openness, transparency, and accountability to the public throughout their handling of two sex assaults committed by the same student.
Not only did they cover up the sex assault by the students because the student seemingly was trans and therefore this was a political issue that might embarrass them based on a policy that they had for trans.
Policy for bathrooms.
They thought it might incriminate them on that policy.
They protect the criminal student who sexually assaulted two students and then criminally pursued the father of one of the victims because he lashed out, because he acted out, made a scene at the school.
This is victimizing the victims and protecting the criminals.
Loudoun County Public School administrators looked out for their own interests rather than the best interests of the school district.
Throughout their handling of two sexual assaults committed by the same high school student, a special grand jury found.
14-year-old student sexually assaulted a female student at Stonebridge High School in May.
Okay?
If they just go into painstaking detail in the grand jury report.
Was allowed to transfer.
To Broad Run High School, where he abducted and sexually assaulted another female student in October of 2021.
May, June, July, August, September, October.
Barely six months.
Summer.
The team was later convicted in juvenile court.
The assaults garnered significant public attention, in part because the student who was convicted in both attacks is a biological male who wore a skirt in one of the attacks, playing into the national debate over how schools treat transgender students and whether they should be allowed to use restrooms different to their biological sex.
The ultimate irony in all of this debacle...
I don't think anything in the bathroom policies would have changed anything that happened here.
It's the politics that changed it.
You have a bathroom that says no men allowed, no biological males allowed.
It's not going to prevent a sexual assaulter from grabbing someone and hauling them in or meeting them there to sexually assault them.
The underlying debate has nothing to do with the underlying atrocity.
But they make it that.
They make it into a political debate so that you can't actually call out, notify, and raise awareness about the actual criminal in this who sexually assaulted two students in high schools.
In large part, at least as relates to the second assault, because it was covered up by the school for politically convenient purposes.
They thought it would impugn their bathroom policy as relates to transgender students.
This probably would have happened regardless of whether or not one was allowed going into a bathroom to commit sexual assault.
But they covered it up, and they facilitated a second sexual assault, which, but for the cover-up, would not have occurred.
The grand jury appointed by Virginia Attorney General Jason Millares released his findings to the public after a months-long investigation into how the school system handled the sexual assaults.
Hold on.
Excuse me.
There were several decision points for senior LCPS administrators, up to including the superintendent, to be transparent and yadda yadda yadda.
They failed at every juncture.
The report also accused the school system superintendent, Scott Ziegler, of lying about the assault at a school board.
The report doesn't accuse him of lying.
It concludes that he did lie after the first assault occurred.
As the school board debated policies governing transgender students and whether they can use their restrooms of their preference, a school board member asked Ziegler, If the schools had a problem with sexual assaults occurring in bathrooms.
Ziegler, by the way, you can also see how the liar can rationalize the liar.
Do we have a problem with sexual assaults with an S occurring in the bathrooms?
No, we only had one.
It's not a problem.
It's not assaults, plural.
Ziegler responded that, to my knowledge, we don't have any record of assaults in our restrooms.
But emails show that Ziegler had been informed of the Sohnbridge assault and in fact had sent an email to board members informing them of the incident.
He was probably doing it for the good reasons.
Gotta cover up the trans student sexual assault.
Alleged trans student.
Because.
We don't want people reacting badly to trans students.
No, we have no problem.
Teachers at both schools warned administrators of the students' disturbing conduct weeks before each assault occurred, according to the report.
They did.
Before the second assault, a teacher said, I don't want anything bad happening under my watch.
This kid's got a problem.
He's been grabbing students, sending inappropriate messages.
There's a reason when people say, I hate your guts, like I hate your guts, because something about the person's aura makes people feel uncomfortable.
Everybody knew it.
And this guy, Ziegler, covering up for it and lying about it.
And he doesn't, it's not his daughter.
I bet you he took care of his kids if he has any.
Even the student's grandmother spoke up and warned the student's probation officer, referring to her child as a sociopath, according to the report.
Two weeks before the first assault, a teaching assistant wrote an email to another teacher and administrators noted that the boy sat on girls' laps during study hall and seems to have a problem with listening and keeping his hands to himself.
The grand jury said it believes the sexual assault at the second one, I think this is the second one, the second sexual assault could have been and should have been prevented.
A remarkable lack of curiosity and adherence to operating in silos.
Yeah, that's one way of talking about mine.
Grand jury recommendations.
Let's hear the recommendations.
Increase transparency and foster better communication.
Oh yeah, don't cover up for sexual assault.
One recommendation.
Re-examine its transfer process and establish a protocol that requires more vigorous communication.
Oh yeah, don't transfer a sexual assaulter to another high school without telling people why he's being transferred there.
Or better yet, don't transfer him there.
Kick him out.
More involvement.
In safety and security.
Oh yeah, that's right.
They knew, by the way, during one of the sexual assaults, a teacher came into the bathroom and saw two sets of shoes, two sets of feet under the bathroom.
Didn't say anything.
Because apparently it happens that girls do that to help each other with tampons.
Literally in the report.
Review gaggle the system school used to monitor student conversations for safety.
Limit the degree to which school board members invoke attorney-client privilege.
You know what the conclusion is?
Common sense.
Don't lie.
Don't cover up.
Don't conceal.
Don't let politics get in the way of doing your jobs, which they've done.
Politics ruins absolutely everything.
Yeah, that's it.
Go to Robert Gouveia.
Check out his hour-plus-long breakdown of this.
It's absolutely atrocious.
This is what the link looks like here.
You know what?
The special grand jury.
I'm going to put the link in here so that everybody can go read this if they so choose.
Here's a link to the grand jury report, which is beyond damning.
Okay, and then we're going to end on, I don't know, something lighthearted, I guess.
Hold on, what's this here?
Let's just see here.
Well, on the subject, before we get to the lighthearted stuff, listen to this.
Caring for others, it's the bare minimum.
You know, you might not like me, but I care about you.
I care about your feelings.
I care about your opinion of me, which I'm really trying to get over.
And the last thing I will say, and this will probably make you feel really good, is that I'm jealous of you.
You know, I wish I was born in your body.
I wish I had a uterus.
You know, my sex assigned at birth was a biological male.
Does that make you feel better hearing me say that?
It's just not what God had in mind.
So here I am.
You know, there's probably a lot of women that you don't like to group yourself with, but they're still women.
And so am I. And now it just, it feels like high school and it feels like you want me to experience the pain and trauma that you've had to endure as a girl.
And the fact that here I am, You know, attempting to enjoy womanhood is incomprehensible to you.
You know, whether it's that I carry tampons, that I'm too feminine, or I call myself a girl, or that I'll never birth a child.
Well, here's some more good news for you.
I'm not enjoying my womanhood as much as I was.
And my pain might be different than your pain, but it's very real.
I actually find this very, very sad to listen to.
I find it very sad because this is clearly someone who's in distress.
So if that was your goal, then congrats.
But I'm still a woman and I'm tired and we don't have to be BFFs and you don't have to follow me.
Just please don't call the police on me if we bump into each other in the bathroom.
You know, my only agenda is to try to find the will to wake up every day and find some ounce of happiness.
It's very sad and it's very honest.
And believe it or not, somehow I love you.
And P.S. I am also very nervous for you just because...
Hopefully soon transphobia won't be as tolerated online, but your tweets are forever and I don't want those to come back and haunt you.
Okay.
Bye.
That sounded like a threat.
Love ya, by the way, for anybody who hasn't seen the movie with Jack Nicholson as good as it gets, love ya is not love you.
I find that very upsetting to listen to because it's actually Dylan Mulvaney was a stand-up comic at one point.
Now gone full, you know, you've seen a meeting with POTUS.
What Dillard is describing is gender dysphoria, definitionally.
Like, literally diagnosed gender dysphoria.
Gender dysphoria is a feeling of discomfort and distress that might occur in people whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth.
Transgender and gender diverse people might experience gender dysphoria at some point in their lives.
This is from...
Psychology, I believe.
That's from the Mayo Clinic.
These are some of the symptoms from the Mayo Clinic.
Cause adolescents and adults...
Where does it say here?
At least two of the following.
A strong desire to have the genitals and secondary sex characteristics of another gender.
I wish I had ovaries.
A strong desire to be or to be treated as another gender.
I'm a woman.
I'm a biological male, but I'm a woman.
The whole debate here is not how the person views themselves, but how they insist on other people viewing them, regarding them, and treating them.
And one is a subjective sense of self, how one sees oneself versus how they demand other people to recognize them.
But listening to that from Dylan Mulvaney, it's literally a confession of what gender dysphoria is.
And the question then becomes, What's the proper treatment, literally?
And what's the proper recourse or plan of action socially?
It is a sense of distress, discomfort with oneself where they view themselves as being something different than what they actually are.
That comes at the insistence of the rest of society to have to pretend that they are actually what they recognize they are biologically not.
For sports implications?
For all other implications?
And then for social implications?
Don't call the cops on me if you see me in the bathroom.
Why would it be an expectation of the rest of the world to have you be in a different biological bathroom than your actual biological sex because of the way you view yourself?
I would appreciate that if Dylan Mulvaney goes into a biological male's bathroom, it could get confusing.
And nobody should even harass Dylan Mulvaney for...
Wanting to be a woman despite being a biological male.
But they're literally describing clinical psychological disorders, mental disorders known as gender dysphoria, and expecting the world to cater to a false reality that they want to believe is their reality.
That's not supposed to be the lighthearted way to end this stream.
Barbarissa Ariane says, look into Viva Operation Earnest Voice.
So I'm going to check out what that is.
We're going to end it on a happy or humorous note, I think.
I hope I've got something here.
That's humorous.
What's this?
Ah, well, we can always pick on Mark Gerritsen.
Mark Gerritsen, people.
These are just fun things in the news today.
Mark Gerritsen.
Canadian flag, Ukrainian flag, and Garrison is not a Ukrainian last name.
He's a liberal MP.
He represents Canada, and yet seems to have a foreign flag in his Twitter profile, which causes me to question allegiance.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned.
Liberal MP for Kingston and the Islands.
Parliamentary Secretary.
Let's fight back alt-right populism together.
What the hell are you talking about, Garrison?
Anyhow, guy's an idiot.
And here's why.
There was once upon a time, there was once a time when MPs were embarrassed to get kicked out of the House of Commons.
Being named by the Speaker was considered one of the more egregious offenses.
Conservative MPs wear it as a badge of honor to take selfies and celebrate.
Raquel Doncho, someone who I was wrong about in the past.
Today, my friend and colleague Raquel Dachau was forced out of Parliament by Liberal Speaker Anthony Roda after pointing out that Liberals lied about their plan to ban hunting rifles.
It's funny, once upon a time, people would be embarrassed to be liars.
Liberals can't handle the truth.
We stand with responsible firearm owners.
This guy, Mark Gerritsen, dual allegiance, treasonous allegiance, arguably.
If he's showing allegiance to another country, that's not the one he was elected to represent.
There was a time when they were embarrassed to get kicked out of the House of Commons.
There was a time when, you know, people were embarrassed to be determined to be liars in public.
And I couldn't help it.
There was once a time when MPs were embarrassed to support a reporter groping.
Google it.
Apologize for it.
Blackface wearing.
Google it.
Everybody knows about it.
Two times ethics preaching.
Google it.
Under the law, two times ethics breaching, charter rights violating, corrupt divisive pathological liar, then Justin Trudeau came along.
And Mark Gerritsen wholeheartedly supports that person without shame and without apology.
We've been going on for two hours and 15 minutes.
Okay, this is really the last one.
What is this?
We're going to leave it on.
Oh, yes, sir.
We'll leave it on a happy, delightful note.
Keith Oberman's a raging psychopath.
Keith Olbermann writes, in response to a Tom Fitton tweet, Elon Musk files show Twitter activist employees without basis suppressed and censored the President of the United States, Trump, in the days before the 2020 election.
This is damning evidence of election interference.
Unequivocally true, the evidence is clear and voluminous.
To which, Keith Olbermann, it's time for Senate hearings into what scheme Elon Musk is up to.
What terrorist Or foreign influence is involved.
These people are delusional.
They see Russians and they see foreign influence everywhere except for where they are.
What terrorist influence is involved?
Your president just released the merchant of death.
What foreign influence is involved?
Your president just released the merchant of death, Keith Olbermann.
And what can be done to remove this public median from his malign control?
You are now calling on government intervention to sanction a private company after having accused them of supporting terrorists and foreign...
Keith Olbermann, you're a psychopath.
And you know what?
Even psychopaths are more calculated and more logical.
You're a raging buffoon.
He's supporting terrorists.
Elon Musk is supporting terrorists.
Coming from the man who's supporting a president that just released the merchant of death to the world.
Oh, yeah, that was good.
Okay, people.
Oh, I didn't sweat all that much today.
This has been delightful.
This makes up for yesterday.
I see a dog who's scratching his head and needs to go.
Wizzy, get over here.
He's not coming.
Thank you all.
Tomorrow night, we're going to have our live stream with Barnes.
It's going to be an amazing one.
Let me just see in the chat if I've missed anything.
Yeah, don't diss sociopaths, says Zen Christopher.
How the hell are people being pitted against each other, says Eric Amanda.
Learn to deprogram it.
That's a good one.
All right.
I'm going to go eat dinner, actually.
I have not even eaten dinner yet.
Thank you all for...
Oh, my goodness.
I almost forgot.
I'm going to play you out with the video from yesterday.
For all of you who missed it, a day in the life of Viva.
I'm going to go squeeze some pee-pee out of pudge.
Maybe some poo-poo.
Take Winson for a walk.
Have dinner.
And you're all going to understand what my life is like with two special needs dogs.
Between the two of them, they form one fully functional dog.
This was my video.
Shout out to Lex Freeman.
If anybody wants to go tweet it and, you know.
Maybe I'll end up on Lex Freeman one day and have the discussion, the meaningful discussion.
Kanye West, in all of his emotions and all of his rantings, does nobody justice.
That's the irony of Kanye, especially himself.
But it will be an interesting discussion.
Lex and I, I believe we actually come from the same parts of Eastern Europe.
He just happens to be much more recent than me.
So with that said, everybody, tomorrow night's going to be a great stream.
Six o 'clock.
Good show.
First time watching Macmillan 601?
Dude!
Or ma 'am?
M. Macmillan 601.
First time watching live?
Welcome to the show.
It's a Saturday.
50 minutes notice for a stream.
And I don't usually do them on Saturdays, but I missed everybody.
And the kids were watching the movie, so it was a good time.
Come back tomorrow night.
It's going to be great.
But with that said, have faith, but not blind faith.
God helps those who help themselves, but do not become the monster that you are battling.
For when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares right back.
Conduct yourselves in a way that makes your children, parents, pets proud.
You can do no wrong.
And with that said, everybody, a day in the life of Viva Frye, I present to you.
Enjoy.
The other day I was watching Lex Friedman's podcast interview with Kanye West, which was a very interesting interview to say the least.
And after that interview ended, another video of Lex Friedman automatically popped up in my feed and it was a day in the life of Lex Friedman where he went through his work process, his routines, his habits, etc, etc.
A bunch of folks asked me to make one of these a day in the life videos to talk about how I do time management in the day, how I structure the routine.
To maximize productivity.
So here we go.
And I was watching this and I said, hmm, maybe people would like to know what goes on in a typical day of Viva Fry.
So I figured I'll make such a video.
My days typically begin with me waking up in one of my kids' beds.
Why, might you ask?
Because for whatever the reason, at least one, if not two of my kids end up in my bed.
I can't sleep with three or four people in the bed.
I end up going to one of my kids' beds, sleeping in a bed that is way too small for me with stuffed animals in my face.
But at least I get a quiet night's sleep, if only for a few hours.
After waking up in my kid's undersized bed, I typically go do my morning routine, which you can imagine what it is, and while I do that, I do the morning wordle, send the results to my mother, send out a couple of tweets, and then go downstairs where I am greeted by dog poo because Pudge, the paralyzed puggle, oftentimes release yourself in the middle of the night and so I'm left cleaning up poop more often than I care to express in any given day.
You pooped in your bed again.
Oh!
Thank you.
I run Pudge outside to squeeze out some pee, squeeze out some poo, come back in, clean up the poo, get my morning cup of coffee, which I like to have in my favorite Tim Hortons mug, which I usually can't find because I've left it somewhere else in the house, and so I end up settling for another mug, have my cup of coffee, and then run two of my kids over to school.
So We're gonna be late.
Go faster.
On the way, I take some time to appreciate the beautiful wildlife in Florida.
I always get scared by a root from a tree, which looks oddly like an alligator.
On the way back, I read some more articles, send some more tweets.
You will notice that I use Twitter a lot in any given day.
It's not an obsession.
It's not an addiction.
I use it as a diary of sorts, as bookmarks of sorts.
I send articles, tweet articles, tweet replies, which I then end up using in daily live streams.
So for me, it really is a manner of keeping articles in order, keeping my thoughts in order.
And keeping a memory, a timeline of sorts, of the descent of society into absolute madness.
Get back home, walk another dog.
Wait a second.
Let's go.
Make some breakfast.
I like to have eggs, cheese, and vegetables for breakfast.
And when I can't find leafy greens to put in the omelet, I settle for cabbage.
And some of you might not know this, but red cabbage or purple cabbage ends up turning the omelet green.
So if you ever want to make green eggs and ham, put a little cabbage in it.
Cabbage, cheese, eggs, omelette cooked for me and my wife, had breakfast, and then I go to my computer to get ready for the day's livestream.
Well, we figured out how to make green eggs.
Set up the stream on Rumble and StreamYard, get my links ready, bring up articles in incognito tabs and the time-lapse that you're looking at right now.
Well, you should know that it ended with my phone receiving a text during the time-lapse.
My phone fell off the counter, hit the ground, shattered on the back.
Luckily, it's still in its case, and I can still use it.
But I've got to fix my phone now.
Do the live stream, which usually lasts anywhere between one and a half hours and two hours.
After I end the live stream, I go to see if Pudge has pooped or peed in the house.
I rush her out for another squeezing of pee and or poo.
Am I filming this?
Are you filming this?
You better be.
Good girl.
Oh, a pup!
Where is it?
Oh, get the...
This dog.
It's clean.
And the hilarious thing is that during the last livestream, when I was showing Pudge was alive for proof of life for people who were asking, she actually pooped on me.
Pudge is here.
She's alive and well, even if she wakes me up.
You woke me up at 3.30 in the morning.
I fed the dog at 3.30 in the morning.
And then she's hungry again by 9. What's your deal?
She's looking pretty good.
Like, not too fat.
Getting some movement back in her legs.
You see that?
It's kind of amazing.
It's more like reflexive and not actual meaningful movement, but...
All right!
oh my god She just pooped on me.
Give me two seconds, people.
After the afternoon squeezing of Pudge, I take Winston for a walk.
I continue to read articles, send out tweets.
I probably look like something of a madman walking a dog with my phone six inches from my face, but that's what I do to keep my thoughts in order.
Then I have a cup of coffee or an energy drink.
I won't say which one because it's not good for you.
It's an unhealthy addiction, but I have it nonetheless.
After that, I will go for a jog because I can't sit on my butt all day, and a day without exercise is a wasted day.
Okay.
Come back from the jog, a sweaty, disgusting mess.
Clean up, rehydrate.
By this time, the kids are back from school, so it's time to do stuff with the kids, I guess, which usually ends up listening to Bunked.
And if you don't know what Bunked is, it has that song.
End up doing something with the kids, have dinner, walk the dogs, do stuff after dinner, and then that's pretty much it for the day.
If there is no evening stream, put the kids to bed.
I'll be lucky if I don't fall asleep as I put the kids to bed.
Then I go send a few more tweets, read a few more articles, go lie in bed and fall asleep and wake up and do the same thing the next day.
So that is a typical day for me, my work process, my thought process, my obsession process.
Right now I'm going to go have breakfast, get back to streaming because the world never stops.
And this descent into madness.
We've got to hit rock bottom before we can come out of it, but I have a feeling we have hit rock bottom or we are very close to hitting rock bottom before we can finally come out of it, so stay tuned.
And everyone, enjoy the day.
