	Just enjoy the moment for the second before you hear the words.
	Just enjoy.
	Hey, everyone.
	As we approach the end of the year, I've been doing a lot of interviews with TV stations, with newspapers, with radio stations, and they've had a lot of great questions, but I know you do, too.
	So let's hear them.
	Hey, everyone.
	As we approach the end of the year, I've been doing a lot of interviews with TV stations.
	TV stations?
	Which ones, if I may ask, are they the ones that you have subsidized?
	With newspapers.
	Which newspapers, may I ask?
	Is it the ones that you subsidized to the order of $600 million for a bailout in 2018?
	With radio stations.
	Which radio stations?
	Is it the ones that you've subsidized with COVID advertising tax dollars for the last three years?
	It's nice doing interviews.
	With your buddies.
	And they've had a lot of great questions, but I know you do too.
	I do.
	Justin, I do.
	First question is, why do you think anyone wants to be this close to your face?
	This is too close.
	I can see details in your face that I don't want to see.
	So let's hear them.
	Oh, let's hear them.
	Let's hear them.
	Everybody, let's hear the questions from Justin Trudeau.
	Justin Trudeau wants to hear questions from us.
	For those of you who don't know...
	First of all, good afternoon.
	It's Friday.
	It's Friday night.
	I don't know how that song goes.
	It's Friday.
	It's Aviva Friday.
	I'm sorry that we had to start it with this, but we have to.
	Justin Trudeau, the gaslighter-in-chief, the prime gaslighter of Canada, the man who, over the course of three and a half weeks of the...
	Most peaceful protests the world has ever seen didn't take one minute to talk to the protesters, to ask them questions, to let the protesters ask him questions, to hear them out.
	Not once.
	Allegedly had COVID.
	Apparently fled the hill and went into hiding in British Columbia.
	Was such a disingenuous coward that he could not engage discourse with the very people.
	That bring him his food.
	With the very people that grow his food.
	That ship his products across the country.
	That put that little smartphone in his hand.
	That get him his kitschy socks.
	Couldn't talk to them.
	But he's taken a lot of questions.
	For those who don't know the context, this is supposed to be a jab at Pierre Poilier, who he accuses of running from journalists.
	So listen to this.
	This comes out last night.
	Justin Trudeau basically says, ugh.
	I'm going to leave that image up there for a second.
	Justin Trudeau comes out and says, AMA people, ask me anything.
	I am the man of the people.
	I am the prime minister of the people.
	Ask me anything.
	A lot of interviews with TV stations, with newspapers, with radio stations, and they've had a lot of great questions, but I know you do too.
	I do.
	So let's hear them.
	How do you think this went, by the way?
	How do you think this went?
	It's so obvious how this was going to go.
	Someone had an interesting theory that it had to be a honeypot of sorts.
	It had to be Justin Trudeau knowing that people were going to get so angry at the gaslighting hypocrisy that nothing good was going to come out of this except possibly identifying Social media accounts to be flagged, to be followed, to be, I don't know, censored or suppressed in Canada.
	Such gaslighting in your face insults to injury.
	I didn't sit down to talk to you when tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands descended onto Ottawa from all walks of life, from all parts of Canada.
	Didn't talk to you then.
	Had that six-week committee hearing where I said, protest.
	For the purposes of effecting change in public policy is something that I find worrisome.
	But now he comes out and says, I want to talk to you.
	I want to hear what you have to say.
	Part of me says he knows that it's gaslighting.
	He knows that it's insult to injury.
	And he wants people to get angry and say things that they will regret or things that might get them in trouble with the law.
	Part of me thinks that.
	But let's be optimistic.
	Let's be optimistic and just, you know, assume he's of good faith.
	Assume he's of good faith and he genuinely wants to hear from us.
	Let's go see some of the questions that he got.
	That's one question.
	By the way, notice what's going to be acutely absent from this Twitter response thread in incognito mode.
	There are many people in Canada who are having serious doubts about...
	Our climate progress and the effectiveness of actions like carbon tax, what can we expect in terms of measurable results in the next two years?
	Pathic voice?
	I thought it said pathetic voice.
	Here, I can tell you what to expect in the next two years.
	Nothing.
	More regulations, more climate alarmism, more loss of individual freedoms, and absolutely no concrete results, because it doesn't happen in two years, even if there's the problem that people think there is, which some people don't think there is.
	Okay.
	Good question, though.
	Yes, sir, I have one.
	Majority of Canadians did not vote for you.
	You're being propped up by a socialist party.
	Please call an election in the new year and let Canadians decide if they want you to lead our country.
	That's exactly what we did in September.
	I'll scroll down.
	Here's one.
	Here's one from me.
	Do you not think it is morally unacceptable to be giving billions of dollars to Ukraine?
	While not having enough money to properly care for sick Canadians who then, out of despair, turn to government-assisted death as opposed to life.
	Trudeau Kevorkian.
	Hashtag.
	There's one.
	Oh, here's another one.
	How do you think you still have any moral authority to lead a nation with two convictions for conflict of interest?
	Ethics violations.
	It's a good question.
	I stand with Trudeau.
	Oh, my God.
	So, that's what happens.
	There's an AMA, and it doesn't go.
	It doesn't go quite as well as Justin presumably would have thought it or hoped it would go.
	And arguably goes so badly that the only use that could come out of it is if the government wanted to find social media accounts to track, flag, and potentially levy fines against for, I don't know, whatever is considered hate speech in Canada at the time.
	Coconut head AMA means ask me anything.
	Ask him anything, except the questions that I don't want to be asked.
	By the way, not that popularity of a tweet is an indication of anything other than potentially truth reverberating among the people, although it could also be misinformation reverberating among the people, so can't really tell.
	Other than the sheer popularity, if I dare call it that, of some of my questions, which were legit questions, I noticed none of them got answered.
	Not only did none of them get answered, National Post ran an article today.
	You've got to read this.
	Because if you want to see how PR framing works from a...
	You know, National Post is typically a little bit better than the other media in terms of calling out Trudeau, in terms of holding him to a higher standard.
	They tend to be better than Toronto Star, for example, which we're going to get to in a few minutes.
	Not today.
	You want to see how framing works and how omission, deceit through omission works?
	Listen to this article.
	This is how the National Post summarizes the debacle of the AMA that was Justin Trudeau's last night Twitter fest.
	Trudeau's call out for questions on Twitter yields multitude of sarcastic, bizarre responses.
	There were more than 6,000 replies just over an hour later, including one that challenged the PM to a fight and another that simply asked, why are you?
	That's headline news.
	Forget the one that had a thousand tweets.
	We'll get to that in a second.
	Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may not have started the day thinking about whether mermaids reproduce like fish.
	I saw that one.
	Or like humans.
	But that's one person.
	That's what one person is asking him to consider.
	Oh, that's so funny, National Post.
	Thank you for wasting our freaking time.
	You had our attention for the first paragraph.
	You lost it.
	In a tweet, Trudeau invited people to ask him questions, any questions they want.
	And the...
	Denizens of Twitter immediately granted that request with a variety of queries on everything from affordable housing to shoe polish.
	The shoe polish, I think, is probably what he smeared on his face to change his skin texture.
	Skin tone.
	He said that anyone who had questions should post it in the replies to his tweets and stay tuned.
	Oh, I'll stay tuned, Trudeau.
	There were more than 6,000 replies a little hour later.
	Why are you?
	There were many serious policy questions on issues such as electoral reform, climate change, healthcare and electric vehicles, and lots of angry replies calling for Trudeau to resign.
	But Trudeau also had...
	But Trudeau has also created for himself an opportunity to respond to whether dogs would wear pants covering...
	I can't get over this level of stupidity coming from Canadian media.
	The call-out came a day after the House of Commons adjourned for a holiday.
	Trudeau's post included a close-up video to CloseUp.
	Awkward.
	Very bizarre.
	While shot in candid style.
	Candid or horribly awkward.
	Horribly awkward showing details of his teeth that I don't want to see.
	Included a row of Canadian flags just visible in the background.
	Okay, we got that part.
	Some questions, such as one from former CBC meteorologist Claire Martin, who wanted to know about the Prime Minister's morning routine, were perhaps predictable.
	And it goes on.
	You know what's acutely...
	Missing from this article?
	It's not to say that I'm special or that I deserve attention, period.
	It's to say that if you're going to judge a newsworthy story, something that the people have an interest in hearing, reading, and seeing, you would typically go by a certain metric, and that metric might be the engagement of the response in the AMA.
	The meteorologist question.
	Let me see if I can find it.
	The meteorologist question garnered all of 11 retweets and 61 likes.
	Here.
	Didn't have this one on the list.
	That CBC meteorologist question.
	What's your morning routine like?
	Nobody gives a sweet bugger all.
	That's why it had 61 likes.
	11 retweets.
	Let's just take a few...
	Oh, yeah.
	Can we get in here?
	Look at this.
	Look at this.
	Here.
	These were my questions.
	You violently suppressed the most peaceful protest Canada, if not the world, had ever seen.
	Assaulted protesters froze bank accounts with no due process.
	Do you think Russia or Iran take you seriously when you criticize them for being tyrannical regimes?
	That only got as of...
	When was this?
	Last night?
	600 retweets?
	6,000 likes?
	Is it true?
	That Klaus Schwab and the WEF have penetrated over half of the Canadian cabinet.
	That one got 750 likes, 5,000 retweets.
	Do you think it's morally accepted?
	We got that one.
	How do you think you still have the moral authority?
	I got that one as well.
	The overwhelming majority of gun crime in Canada is committed with black market handguns.
	How does banning lawfully procured firearms, especially rifles, from law-abiding Canadians make anyone safer or even begin to remedy the actual underlying problem?
	My personal favorite.
	Did you stop teaching at a Vancouver private school under what Snopes referred to as the cloud of a sex scandal?
	I won't hold my breath for a response, people.
	Although I would like one.
	But I'm probably not going to get one.
	Oh, it's...
	Did I miss the sarcasm and am I an idiot again?
	If there...
	Let me also...
	I may have.
	I'm going to go back and read this.
	I read it.
	I didn't detect enough sarcasm.
	If sarcasm comes in too subtle a form, that's a problem.
	It's a problem because it leads to misunderstanding.
	And it's a problem also because it allows people to say, I was being sarcastic when they were actually not being all that sarcastic.
	The other issue is sarcasm that comes at the end.
	That presumes people get there and people get the sarcasm in the first place.
	I'm going to go back and read it because if I missed the sarcasm, at the very least, my initial reflex that the National Post is better than other media, maybe.
	Nonetheless, you write an article and you reference mermaid questions.
	Without referencing the substantive questions that highlight the hypocrisy, the absolute tyranny of this regime, you're not doing your readers any service.
	You're doing them a disservice.
	Anyhow, so that's the intro.
	And I want to get it again one more time.
	There's something about it that drives me.
	I know that I do it myself, so I have to be sure not to criticize others for what I feel to be true about myself.
	I can't find it.
	When he starts talking, there's always this click.
	Hi, everybody.
	Hey, I've got questions for you.
	I've been doing a lot of interviews.
	Bullcrap.
	All right.
	With that said, everybody, good morning.
	Rumble rants.
	I see a few.
	Chet Chisholm, Sunnybrook Health Services Sciences Center, received a $50,000 grant from Trudeau and his goons to do that bullshit car study.
	Chet, if that's true, I'm going to screen grab that.
	That's the car accident study that we talked about yesterday.
	If that's true, that will be going on internet blast.
	How that bullshit study could have cost $50,000 in the first place, that study could have been done on a Starbucks dime, literally.
	Five bucks, go to a Starbucks, crunch the numbers.
	But I'm gonna look into that.
	It's true, insane.
	Sweet, merciful.
	Who's got a link?
	Chet, I think you have my email or contact.
	If anybody's got a link.
	Bring that to me.
	Did I see President Trump's speech, Viva?
	Actually, I did.
	After having seen the two-minute video for the...
	What are they called?
	The FTNs?
	No, the NTFs.
	I did.
	And it's actually on my...
	I was going to start with that video so that we didn't puke.
	But instead, we're going to go to it now to wash...
	Hold on.
	Why do I hear...
	I hear myself.
	Okay.
	We're going to get to that in a second.
	But first things first, actually.
	Standard disclaimers.
	I forgot what I was going to say.
	Superchats.
	First of all, thank you all for the Superchats, the Rumble Rants.
	So you should know.
	It's a nice way to support the channel.
	The best way to support the channel is if you go to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	It's $70 for an entire year now, $7 a month if you want to pay an extra two months of support for whatever the reason.
	Best place on earth to be.
	Best place to support, best for the creator, best for the platform.
	If you provide these Rumble rants, super chats, know that a super chat, legacy media, discipline, bam, discipline.
	YouTube takes 30% of each and every super chat.
	If you don't like that, we're simultaneously streaming on Rumble.
	Rumble has Rumble rants, the equivalent of super chats.
	They take 20%.
	So better for the creator, better to support a platform that actually operates within the realm of respecting free speech.
	Let me get that off here.
	I bought one, by the way.
	I'll get to that in a second.
	What I was going to say, best place is vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	You can be a member without supporting, or you can choose to be a supporter and get more access to exclusive content.
	But today I'm wearing a Salty Cracker merch that I did not.
	It was a gift from Salty.
	I probably should be wearing my own merch, especially when I'm going to be pitching my own merch.
	But for those of you who don't know, we've got a merch store.
	And this one has...
	Oh, this is Politics Ruins Everything?
	I was going to say Confession Through Projections seems to be the mantra of the day.
	It's one or the other.
	Politics Ruins Everything or Confession Through Projection.
	If you go to vivafry.com and you'll find all of the merch that we have to offer and you can get a shirt, wear the shirt with pride, and support the channel while clothing yourself.
	It's a win-win situation.
	Okay.
	Non-fungible tokens.
	We'll cover this story, then we're going to go over to Rumble exclusively.
	So Trump yesterday puts out a video, the announcement.
	I appreciate the next level trolling in the announcement, which is an announcement that he's got an announcement.
	So Twitter goes into a flipping frenzy.
	And by Twitter, I mean left-wing Democrat, blue checkmark, rabid frothing at the mouth, social media accounts.
	And now we know that some of them are paid.
	You know, farm accounts.
	Brooklyn Defiant Dad, who we now know has been paid by a Biden political action committee $57,000 in 2020 to post pro-Biden tweets.
	This other guy, Jeff, it's Jeff Tiedrich.
	I don't know who he is, but all that he does is post the most vitriolic, anti-Trump, pro-Biden stuff.
	The Klasenstein brothers, this person named Marsh, this person, Natalie Jacoby, one who ended up blocking me.
	They flip out about Trump's announcement of an announcement.
	And they come out with their beautiful, tolerant, loving...
	The only announcement is that he's a racist, homophobe, and bigot.
	He deserves to be in jail for the rest of his life.
	That was what they wanted to see by way of announcement.
	Everyone was a little bit curious.
	Everyone's attention was piqued.
	Was it going to be an announcement that Carrie Lake will be his running mate for 2024?
	Who knows?
	Well, now we know.
	I don't have the video for the NFT.
	The announcement that I thought was the announcement was a two-minute video of him announcing an NFT, a non-fungible token.
	I bought one.
	Apparently, it's worth $75 more than it was yesterday.
	And then when he makes the announcement that the NFT is his big announcement, the people who were freaking out about his announcement of an announcement freak out about the juvenile nature of his big announcement, an NFT.
	And I do admit...
	First of all, I appreciate it's a troll.
	I appreciate there's a double level of irony here that he's releasing an NFT in the wake of the Sam Bankman Freed Democrat money laundering scandal.
	I appreciate the next levels of trolliness and everything.
	I still think it's potentially unbecoming of someone who wants to run for president.
	Some people could say it makes him look human.
	It makes him look fun.
	Democratizing the presidency to some extent.
	I understand all the arguments.
	I do think when it comes to certain offices maintaining a certain level of seriousness, even if I don't mind the tweets, but an NFT, not something I might have recommended, but who the hell am I?
	What's my opinion worth?
	That's for the world to decide.
	So he announces this NFT, $99 for one NFT.
	If you buy 45, because he was the 45th president, You get guaranteed a dinner with Trump.
	Had I known that my wife would say, that's $4,500 for a dinner with Trump is not that bad of a thing.
	I might have bought $4,500, but no.
	I bought one just to piss off the people who were freaking out.
	And but for their freakout, I would never have known that Trump even made the announcement in the first place.
	But the double fakey troll in this is that it wasn't about the NFTs.
	He released a policy speech.
	Posobiec put it out.
	Here.
	And I'm not going to play the whole six minutes, or maybe I should.
	Does anyone mind six minutes on this?
	Why am I not hearing audio?
	Okay, sorry.
	Okay, I don't know why it's quiet there.
	That's confusing.
	Let's watch through this.
	If we don't have free speech, then we just don't have a free country.
	It's as simple as that.
	If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, then the rest of our rights and liberties will topple, just like dominoes, one by one.
	They'll go down.
	But President Trump, you said suspend the Constitution.
	You said terminate the Constitution.
	How do you talk about free speech?
	That's why today I'm announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship regime and to reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans.
	And reclaim is a very important word in this case.
	Can you imagine?
	Compare Biden to Trump.
	You can hate both of them.
	You can hate neither of them.
	You can hate one of them.
	Compare.
	Some people will get frustrated by his demeanor, but compare the eloquence and the at least clarity of delivery.
	We'll maybe flip to Joe Biden yesterday wearing his sunglasses.
	Can't string a sentence together.
	Trump looks tan.
	He doesn't look orange anymore.
	I don't think people are going to be able to run with that joke.
	He actually looks healthy tan.
	Teeth look white.
	Good message so far.
	Because they've taken it away.
	In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed that a sinister group of deep state bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants...
	Left-wing activists and depraved corporate news media have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American people.
	Oh, you can't put them on blast, President Trump.
	That's mean.
	That's going to draw attention to their wrongdoings, which might draw the ire of the people against them.
	After they're done violating your free speech, manipulating your thought, censoring what you have access to, you can't call it out because that puts them on blast.
	Then you become the abuser for calling out the abuse of the abuser.
	Don't you understand how the rules work?
	They get to get away with it.
	And if you call them out on it and put them on blast, that's not fair.
	That's inciting.
	That's bad talk.
	They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything from elections to public health.
	The censorship cartel must be...
	Dismantled and destroyed, and it must happen immediately.
	And here is my plan.
	First, within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens.
	The left, I bet we're flipping out about this yesterday.
	How do they feel about it now that Elon has banned certain journalists or suspended journalists from Twitter?
	How do they feel about it now?
	I bet they'd like the idea of making sure that big bad man Elon can't arbitrarily, randomly censor people on Twitter.
	I bet yesterday they were freaking out.
	He can't do that.
	It's a private company.
	They can do whatever they want, even if they're being asked to do it by the FBI in weekly meetings behind closed doors while the company lies about or does not disclose those meetings to the public.
	I will then ban federal money from being used.
	To label domestic speech as mis- or disinformation.
	And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship, directly or indirectly, whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health, Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.
	Second, I will order the Department of Justice to investigate.
	We got the idea.
	I'm going to give you the link to Posobiec's Twitter feed.
	I presume everybody watching here is following Jack already, but if you're not...
	Oh, he's going to identify and fire?
	That's scandalous.
	That's doxing if he's going to identify them and fire them for them exercising their free speech?
	Bill Brett in Rumble says, I've never heard anybody make so much sense.
	It's fantastic.
	So the idea was that it was a double-level, super-duper fakey troll.
	The announcement of the announcement, then coming out with the NFT.
	Hey, it's a good way to raise money.
	What I love, by the way, is that these deranged, pathological, frothing-at-the-mouth, TDS-laden blue checkmarks.
	Who's going to waste $99 on a stupid NFT?
	Do people understand that Sam Bankman-Fried's mother's mind-the-gap?
	We're not accepting donations or contributions of less than $40,000 or they were recommending donations of at least $40,000 so they could fund their organization to get people out to vote.
	You know how much a dinner with Hillary Clinton costs?
	And I'm not saying that it's wrong.
	The idea that people contributing to Trump by buying a token, which I presume will be worth zero dollars and zero cents at some point in the near future.
	99 bucks is a big waste of money for his cultists, but here's a $10,000 plate dinner to sit down with Hillary Clinton.
	Here's a $40,000 donation to Mind the Gap.
	We're not taking less than that.
	We're trying to get to $140 million to run our get out to vote grift.
	Yeah.
	I bought an NFT, so I don't know how it works.
	I got...
	I got...
	An email confirming the coin or the purchase.
	Then I see this trading.
	By the way, this is money burnt.
	But at least I got a good screen grab.
	It's like getting a parking ticket.
	Seems to be worth $185 now because there's a market for this.
	You get to choose when you burn money sometimes.
	You get a big fat parking ticket or a speeding ticket or whatever.
	That hurts.
	At least I got a screen grab.
	That I could put on Twitter and irk some blue check marks, who, but for their involvement, I would never have known about this, and I probably would never have gotten one.
	I own a piece of Trump.
	And apparently someone said they're going to buy all of them, but I had already bought one, so if someone gets all of them, mine will go up in great value.
	Great value!
	Okay, so...
	That's the Trump big announcement, the NFT non-fungible tokens.
	I think...
	I still think all of crypto is a scam.
	I don't understand it.
	I don't sponsor it.
	I have turned down multiple offers to sponsor crypto because I don't understand it.
	I don't think I feel comfortable even recommending it to anybody.
	I don't mind losing a bit of money gambling because I think that's what it is.
	But I bought an NFT.
	But yeah, I bought one of the Trump things.
	I don't even know which image I got, but whatever.
	Okay, let's move it over.
	It'll be worth millions.
	It'll be really funny if one day it's the new Bitcoin and anyone who bought one back in 2022 is now like a billionaire.
	And it was like, Viva's got one.
	And they'll have to say, no, I sold mine.
	I sold mine for $75 profits the next day.
	It'll be worth millions.
	It might be.
	The only problem is if the tangent continues where we're going, it's going to cost millions to buy a loaf of bread.
	So it'll be one Trump NFT.
	For a loaf of bread.
	Okay, let me get the link to Rumble, and we're going to move over there right now, if nobody minds.
	It's a good pause.
	I may have to pee at some point during the stream.
	I think I forgot to pee before.
	Okay, so a little TMI.
	We've got...
	Let me make sure that we're still monetized on YouTube.
	I think we've been good.
	Although Justin Trudeau's face sometimes tends to get the yellow icon.
	The pinned link is there.
	Not so that we can do things we can't do here because I'm going to post the full stream here tomorrow.
	So that we can go...
	So I can fulfill my agreement because I have an exclusivity with Rumble that I'm extremely proud to do and be a part of.
	And so we can actually go favor the platforms that favor free speech while we talk about whether or not what Musk is doing on Twitter.
	It's imposing rules, applying rules, applying double standards, and or suppressing free speech.
	Let's go have that discussion.
	Everybody, 1,049 people on YouTube should be coming over in three...
	Wait, I'm going to end it at exactly 30 minutes on the nose.
	Two, one, and now...
	Oh, perfect.
	I think that was 30 minutes.
	Comment on dit en français?
	Pile.
	30 minutes pile on the nose.
	Okay.
	There's some fun stuff about this.
	The Twitter drama about, and I'm getting real-time texts about the various reactions to this.
	Yeah, I'm going to have to go.
	There's a tweet from Glenn Greenwald.
	Okay, I'll get to that in a second.
	The reaction, everyone has to know what's happening.
	Before they can come to an opinion.
	The shocking thing, the shocking thing is if you don't know what's going on, there's nothing wrong with that.
	If you think there's something wrong, but you know you don't know the details, or you know that you don't know enough to come to a definitive, concrete, hard position, don't do it.
	And there are ways of expressing yourself to qualify your opinion, unless I'm mistaken.
	To the best of my knowledge, I may not know everything, but my initial reaction is the amount of people coming out and taking hard positions while they admit they don't even know what's going on.
	Journalists suspended?
	It's got to be wrong.
	The reflex is when journalists are suspended, especially several within a short period of time, the reflex is that something smells wrong.
	Twitter is, we call it the public square, the new public square.
	We almost refer to it as...
	As a utility.
	There's a lawsuit right now that Google is seeking to be recognized as a utility under Ohio law.
	So when you hear about multiple journalists being suspended in a very short window, you can be suspicious.
	What the heck is going on?
	Is this what the right was complaining about but now being inflicted on the left?
	And you can have these reactions.
	What you have to be careful about doing is saying, I don't know what the hell's going on, but if this is not undone by tomorrow morning, I'm hauling your ass before Congress, which is what someone actually did.
	I think they subsequently put their tweets on private, which makes me nervous or makes me feel bad.
	Somebody came out and said, I don't remember who it was, and it doesn't really matter.
	I don't know what the hell's going on, but if those accounts are not reinstated within an hour, I'm going to go to Capitol Hill and haul Elon before Congress.
	If you don't know what's going on, maybe hold off formulating such a strong opinion.
	So what, and I've gone through it, I've fleshed it out, I've found some of the tweets which I'm not going to share because I'm not out there to break what are now the rules.
	The long and short of it is Elon flies on a private jet.
	There has been this Twitter account which tracks the movement of Elon's jet as there has been accounts dedicated to tracking Bill Gates' private jet because private jets have You know, they have to organize with the FAA.
	They have to organize.
	Their location has to be known.
	And there's ways of tracking all flights because there's databases to gather this information.
	And so sharing information about the location of public airlines, private jets, it's publicly obtainable information.
	And there was an account dedicated to tracking Elon Musk's jet.
	It was called Elon Jet or something.
	I don't know, whatever it's called on Twitter.
	What ended up happening is that the jet account basically was keeping real-time location tracking of Elon Musk's private jet, which apparently, allegedly, contributed, resulted in, or occurred contemporaneously with Elon Musk being swarmed at an airport and a car carrying his kid, which apparently was mistaken for him, being approached by a man wearing a face mask in a car who apparently jumped on the hood.
	Now, why do I...
	Apply these caveats.
	These things occurred at the same time, but it's not known definitively, although one can come to reasonable conclusions, that the being doxxed led to being located in real life.
	Having your real-time location tracked and disclosed on Twitter, some could argue that it led to him being found and the incident with his kid.
	Others could say they happened at the same time.
	Paparazzi is presumably always trying to follow Elon.
	We'll get back to that in a bit.
	And so they happen at the same time, but they're not causally related.
	Other people might say it doesn't even matter if they are causally related because you can't prevent people from acting the fool in real life just because they got information online.
	It's a legitimate argument as well, depending on what that information is and depending on what that messaging is.
	Okay.
	I'm going to get to this.
	Zachocracy says, public figure, public information.
	Imagine having faith in digital daddy Elon.
	Public figure, yes.
	Public information, zackocracy, you might want to make sure you know what you're talking about.
	So that is what people are saying.
	Oh, it's publicly tracking plane flights.
	You can track any commercial airline.
	True.
	But you can't track any individual on that airline.
	And even if you could, for some reason, I suspect disclosing the whereabouts of one individual who's flying on a plane and when they're landing and putting it on Twitter would get you into trouble regardless.
	Public information, Is one of the issues at play here.
	So Elon comes out.
	Let me see if I can pull up the tweet.
	After the incident with him.
	Comes out.
	And says.
	Oh, come on.
	I had it.
	Here.
	I think this.
	Here we go.
	This is a tweet from Elon.
	After the incident.
	And apparently they're either adjusting the rules, changing the rules, or clarifying existing rules, which is itself an issue for transparency, something to deal with.
	Elon Musk tweets, any account doxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended as it is a physical safety violation.
	This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info.
	Posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis isn't a safety problem, so is...
	Okay.
	Okay.
	That was one of his tweets.
	Some people are saying, oh, that's fine, Elon, but you're a hypocrite because not long ago, not long ago, you tweeted something a little bit different.
	That's not the right one.
	Not long ago, I know I had the tweets.
	He tweeted, free speech, I stand for free speech, even websites that track my jet.
	Okay.
	In the grand scheme of this discussion, people have to separate the policy from potential accusations for hypocrisy.
	Some people are going to say, he's a hypocrite.
	It was barely a month ago.
	He said, I stand for free speech, even if it means tracking my private jet.
	Then he has real life problems.
	Then he changes the rules.
	Okay.
	You might be able to call him a hypocrite.
	You might be able to call him a human who learns from experience and says, oh, okay, well, I thought that was going to work and it's not going to work as a real policy because if this happens to me, it can happen to other people.
	And if it happens to, I don't know, I don't want to name any names because I'm not putting anyone on blast.
	If it happens to a left-wing journalist, well, you know damn well they're going to come after me.
	So you could call it hypocrisy or you could just call it learning from experience.
	Yeah, I thought it would work as a functional rule.
	I see the real-life problems that it can have.
	We're not keeping that as a real-time rule.
	Setting aside Elon's hypocrisy, the question is this.
	As a principle, real-time location of someone's physical body, where they are, is that an exercise in free speech?
	Is that a crime?
	Some form of harassment?
	And even if it's not a crime, is it something that we as a community would agree could be limited?
	Under the rules, under the pretext of terms of service, a platform that we'd want to be a part of.
	Would we want to be a part of a platform where anybody at any time can have their private location disclosed because it might be publicly available and have a mob sicced on them in real time?
	Hypocrisy, set it aside.
	We don't know.
	Elon can either be a hypocrite or he can have learned from his mistake.
	As a policy, does this fall under doxing?
	Now, some people are saying it's public information.
	You can follow commercial airlines.
	You can follow private jets.
	They have to do this.
	If you want to fly a private jet, you're going to have to live with the consequences.
	You're going to have to live with the inconvenience that comes with the privilege of being able to fly on a private jet.
	Some people are going to say, well, you can track the jet, but you're not tracking a person.
	That's probably a disingenuous argument as well, because if you can track Elon's jet, chances are Elon's on that jet.
	So there's no distinction between tracking the jet and tracking the person.
	When you track a commercial airline, you're not tracking a person.
	You're tracking a plane carrying anonymous people.
	But there's a bigger issue here.
	And let me pull up this tweet.
	I wish I had them a little bit better laid out.
	Here.
	No, that's not it.
	Let me just see if this is not the one.
	That's not the right one.
	There was a question of...
	Oh, that's right.
	I'm not bringing that one up because the tweet from the kid, McSweeney's account, the account that got banned and apparently might be facing legal troubles, the question is to whether or not it was public information.
	So the account that has since been banned says, Elon got PIA, but I've already identified it in the now impugned tweet.
	I'm not sharing any links.
	And it says, yeah, and this is another tweet from the same person.
	Yeah, so the P-I-A-I-C-A-O can be changed monthly if chosen to do so.
	But even then, it's relatively easy to identify.
	I'm confident I can write software to identify it, actually.
	So now we're in a realm where an individual who's writing software to decode the identity of a plane, are we still within the realm of publicly available information that is just being shared on social media?
	Elon got PIA, but I've already identified it.
	Who knows what...
	First of all, who even knew...
	That's not what I want to bring up.
	Who even knew that this message...
	Who even saw the original impugned messages?
	Not everybody who's taken a hard position on it.
	Thank you.
	Okay, well, and Bryant WM, $10 rumble rant, says Elon actually paid for his jet info to be private.
	The person tracking had to dig and use private info to track the jet.
	So public plane one thing, private jet another.
	Brian T. Brian TWM, thank you very much because that's quite on point.
	PIA, anyone even know that that tweet existed?
	Probably not.
	It seems many people haven't seen Aaron Rupar's tweet that got him banned before coming to his...
	Unequivocal defense saying he didn't break any rules.
	This is just reprises.
	We'll get to Aaron Ruppert.
	What is a PIA?
	I didn't know.
	Here.
	This is from the Federal Aviation Administration.
	ADSB privacy.
	FAA acknowledges the desire of some operators to limit the availability of real-time ADSB position and identification information for a specific aircraft.
	To address privacy concerns, FAA has initiated the privacy ICAO aircraft address, PIA, the privacy info address, whatever that is.
	To address privacy concerns, privacy concerns, FAA has initiated the privacy ICAO aircraft address, PIA, program to improve the privacy of the following eligible aircraft.
	U.S. registered.
	I don't know what these things are.
	Use a third-party call sign, whatever.
	Flying in domestic airspace.
	The PIA program enables interested aircraft owners to request an alternate temporary ICAO aircraft address, which will not be assigned to the owner of the Civil Aviation Registry car.
	This service will be available in two phases.
	Phase one, the PIA is now available.
	So the PIA, from what I can surmise in my morning's worth of research, is specifically a system that the FAA offers to preserve the privacy of a private jet in domestic airspace.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	The individual whose account was banned for doxing Elon Musk admitted that this PIA was in place, but he found a way, he found, what did he say?
	What were the exact words that he said?
	they're somewhat damning?
	I've already identified it.
	Oh!
	I've already identified the private aviation address, whatever the heck it is.
	Oh, yeah, it's going to be changed monthly.
	But even then, it's relatively easy to identify.
	I'm confident I can write software to identify it, actually.
	I mean, I don't know if that's hacking.
	I'm not a computer.
	I'm a computer idiot.
	I don't know if that qualifies as hacking, but I can certainly see someone making that argument.
	I don't think that that qualifies as public information when it's specifically designed to ensure the privacy of the jet to which it's ascribed.
	So a lot of people take in very hard positions on this for or against and don't have the basic facts and the basic knowledge to understand what actually happened.
	Deliberately sought the privacy of his jet, which apparently was deliberately hacked, intercepted, otherwise identified, posted to social media.
	And then Elon gets mobbed, you know, coming out of the airport.
	His little ex, his kid in a Tesla gets swarmed.
	Something jumps on the hood.
	So it's not hacking its public six designs.
	I'm not sure what's public if someone has to find a code to code to identify publicly what was a private aviation number.
	So those are the facts.
	Now Elon says, okay, well, sure, I may have said what I said in the past.
	If I can find that tweet, I'll bring it up.
	But it's no longer going to be the case.
	And has since apparently banned some handles on the left.
	Aaron Rupar.
	Keith Oldman got banned allegedly for doxing, according to...
	I would like to see the evidence.
	Elon says, do I bring back the accounts that were banned for doxing?
	I'd like to know what the doxing consisted of.
	I'm not remaining objective for this just to pretend it.
	I'd like to see what Elon considers to be the doxing.
	Thus far, from what I'm able to surmise and pull up from the now deleted or suspended accounts, it seems like the individual...
	Who says, I only got what's public information, publicly admitted.
	I found other ways of identifying the fact that it was being deliberately privatized information, which allowed for the real-time location of Elon Musk.
	I'd like to see the evidence of the other accounts having doxed or allegedly violated the rules, even if it's a new rule.
	Can't see that for all of them.
	One we could see it for.
	And everyone who fell for his lie can just say, well, I got Rupert again.
	A.T. Rupert.
	Aaron Rupert, who has been immortalized in the Urban Dictionary for, like, looks like I pulled a homer.
	If anyone remembers the Magic Johnson episode of The Simpsons, pulling a homer meant getting very lucky by total fluke.
	And it made its way into the dictionary.
	Well, Rupert is in the dictionary now, and it means basically getting lied to.
	So anybody who follows his sub-stack, he got lied to.
	Unless you noticed.
	Yes, my Twitter account was permanently suspended.
	Here's what's happened.
	Scroll to the bottom part for an update.
	I don't know when that update came up, but we're going to read the article as originally drafted.
	Early Thursday evening, I started receiving messages that my Twitter account was suspended.
	I initially thought I was being trolled, but I picked up my phone to check it.
	Oh, and lo and behold, it's true.
	Your account is permanently suspended.
	I have no idea what rules I purportedly broke.
	I haven't heard anything from Twitter.
	I can relate to this because when I was locked out for 24 hours for a tweet that was never removed and subsequently put back up, I never got an explanation either.
	I haven't heard anything from Twitter at all.
	I did publish a newsletter Wednesday morning featuring an article from Noah Berlatsky about Elon Musk's...
	Reactionary populism.
	Maybe that was why.
	I also posted a tweet late last night noting that Musk seemed to violate Twitter's policy against posting footage of someone without their consent in a tweet he posted yesterday.
	That was Elon posting a video that someone had taken of the guy who pulled up to the side of his kid's car wearing a mask.
	People, when you're in public, there's not an expectation of privacy, but having your real-time location publicly disseminated might be two different things.
	Especially when you're in public, potentially committing a crime, as was the individual who seemed to be tailing or whatever, allegedly jumped on the hood of Elon's kid's car.
	But it's hard to imagine how either of those things violated Twitter's policies.
	I spent more than five years painstakingly documenting major developments in U.S. politics on Twitter with video.
	So losing that archive instantaneously and for no good reason.
	First of all, I do feel bad for him.
	And I don't think Rupar should...
	I don't think he should be banned for a first-time offense.
	I don't know what his history was.
	And as an independent journalist running a newsletter business who relies on Twitter for new subscribers being stripped of a huge part of my audience...
	Absolutely.
	My work is entirely supported by readers and will continue to be...
	Anyways, I don't want to get to the punchline.
	Anyways, I'm holding out hope that Twitter will reconsider this move.
	So anything you could do to help me with my account restored is appreciated.
	At the very least, it would be nice if the company would try to explain what's going on.
	Remember that little thing we saw here?
	Scroll to the bottom for an update.
	Update.
	It just occurred to me.
	It occurred to me, sorry, just after I...
	Remember, this guy is the one who painstakingly documents journalism.
	It just occurred to me just after I published this that I did post a tweet yesterday noting that the ElonJet account was suspended from Twitter, was still active on Facebook, with a link to the Facebook page.
	Oh!
	It just occurred to me.
	Must have forgotten about that one, where the account that was banned for posting a link that identified Elon in real time or his geolocation in real time, oh, that got suspended for that.
	It just occurred to me that I retweeted it with a link to that.
	My bad.
	For anybody who knows this, how many hours lapsed before Rupar made that update?
	How many hours lapsed before the bulk of the people who read that article and will not know of the update came out and took to Twitter, how dare you ban Rupar?
	You banned Rupar because he exposed you.
	For asking to dox the guy who allegedly jumped on your car in public and assault, accosted you.
	That's why.
	Oh, I forgot, guys.
	Sorry, my bad.
	I accidentally, I forgot that I tweeted out an external link to the very link that got the guy's account banned on Twitter because it actively doxed Elon Musk.
	My bad.
	Trust me next time.
	I'll be better next time.
	I promise.
	So that's what happened with people taking to social media.
	I don't know what Rupar did, but I'm now seeing by Rupar's own admission, by Rupar's own admission, he done broke the rules.
	I don't know how many violations he was at that it led to an instant banning.
	But that's it.
	And what else?
	Let's get to some of the other mis-disinformation out there.
	Because it abounds and people...
	Do you want to know?
	I'm painstakingly, and I say this taking a jibby jab at Rupar.
	Once people lose faith in you and once people know that they can't have faith in you because you deliberately or recklessly or are just negligent in what you report and how quickly you report it, I take for granted they will always harbor that initial reflex and it will forever taint their ability to take anything you have to say seriously.
	People should apply that rule to people, especially the Rupert.
	Oh, yeah, I don't know.
	I have no idea what happened.
	I just got banned.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	And other people.
	Let me just pull this up here.
	I started going down the rabbit hole of people covering this story to see what information they have.
	I came across, and I'm not putting this guy on blast because I don't know who he is.
	He seems to be a well-spoken individual.
	I was watching one of his videos.
	To get to know who he was before retweeting this.
	Victor Shi says, Elon just suspended a bunch of journalists, including Aaron Rupar, who cover him without any reason.
	Okay, so you don't know what you're talking about right now, but now you're going to come to some grand principle of free speech which you never supported until now in the first place.
	By silencing journalists, it's clear that Elon Musk doesn't care about free speech or democracy.
	He cares only about himself, which is why we should all be outraged.
	This guy didn't know about the Ruppert admission.
	And this is...
	Everyone now who...
	Hold on.
	Okay, let's get to some of the bad takes.
	Because now it's like...
	If it were not for bad double standards, they would have no standards at all.
	And in order to maintain the lie, you have to have a good memory.
	Some of these people are...
	Just the biggest damn hypocrites on the planet because now they're coming out in support of free speech.
	That free speech at issue in this particular circumstance, arguably the free speech to publicly dox someone's physical location in real time, even if it allegedly, but it's arguable now, is only based on public information.
	People don't appreciate, I go to the white page analogy, you can pull someone's address up.
	Out of the white pages, it's publicly available information.
	If Kanye West picks a name out of the phone book because it's publicly available, puts it on blast and say, here's the address of Mr. X. Hey, it's public information.
	There's a problem there.
	People say the Jets, you want the privilege of the Jets?
	They've got these tail things, tail plates or whatever.
	Public information, you can go to any White Pages book, pull up someone's number, and it's public.
	When you post that to a social media platform, someone is going to say, why are you doing that?
	Is it newsworthy?
	Is it harassment?
	Are you not directly, indirectly, implicitly asking a mob to swarm and form?
	They support this now.
	They support the ability to do this.
	So if someone says, okay, well, I'll just take one who's been public.
	AOC, there's going to be an interesting distinction between public figures and public servants.
	We'll get there in a second.
	Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is lecturing Elon Musk again.
	Elon, you're a public figure, an extremely controversial and powerful one.
	I get feeling unsafe.
	I get you.
	But descending into abuse of power and erratically banning journalists only increases the intensity on you.
	By the way, that is a dog whistle.
	Doing what you're doing only makes it worse.
	I get you're a public figure.
	You're controversial.
	People are going to get you.
	But banning journalists, that's only going to make it worse.
	You hear that, journalists?
	That's a dog whistle.
	And I don't tend to hear them.
	Unless they're there, that's what is implied there.
	But setting that aside, I get feeling unsafe, but descending into abuse of power and erratically banning journalists, because she also apparently knows that Aaron Rupert, erratically banned after having admitted, I might have linked to the banned website.
	Take a beat and lay off the proto-fascism.
	I need someone in the chat to tell me what proto-fascism is.
	Maybe try putting down your phone.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	AOC.
	Whose claim to fame is having got elected to government.
	Lecturing the richest human on earth who literally is, if not a rocket scientist, pretty damn close.
	He designs rockets.
	Designs the best electric cars on earth.
	A billionaire entrepreneur who has run more businesses than AOC has worked for.
	She's in government now.
	She thinks she's a...
	Take a beat.
	Hey, sit down.
	Shut up, Elon.
	Isn't that what...
	What's the senator from Hawaii?
	You're a public figure.
	Deal with it.
	Oh, look what she said about Trump's banning.
	I don't know, man.
	Last time he was here, this is reinstate former President Trump.
	I don't know, man.
	Last time he was here on this platform, he used to incite insurrection.
	Multiple people died.
	That were killed by police officers.
	The vice president of the United States was nearly assassinated.
	Just a bloody lie like you've never seen.
	And hundreds were injured.
	But I guess that's not enough for you to answer the question.
	Twitter poll it is.
	Oh, no.
	When they fabricate the real-world violence that results from Trump tweeting, now that we've seen it, I will not be going to the inauguration.
	That ban is fine.
	Ban someone for...
	Revealing Elon Musk's real-time location after he's received meaningful threats.
	You're a celebrity.
	Deal with it.
	Hypocrites.
	And it's like, I genuinely think they forget about the fact that they're bald-faced hypocrites in the moment they try to take up the virtuous stance.
	Not remembering they had taken up the exact opposite position not that much long ago.
	That was not even the worst.
	Let me just see you in the chat here.
	Well, they're saying one person.
	No.
	Ashley Babbitt, shot by the DC cop.
	Roseanne Boyland allegedly, arguably, there's some disagreement about her cause of death.
	Some people say she was assaulted, and that's why she died, not from a medical emergency.
	Anyhow.
	Take a beat.
	What the F?
	Michael Scriven.
	So...
	But that's not even the worst of the...
	That's not even the worst.
	Hold on.
	They're such good ones.
	They're defiant L's.
	Someone's got to go give them to defiant L. Let me just find them.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Hold on.
	It'll come.
	I'll get back to that one.
	Where was the one?
	It was just...
	Oh, yeah.
	Stephen King.
	I mean, it would be funny if it weren't so delusionally sick.
	Stephen King.
	Why have journalists had their Twitter accounts suspended?
	Please explain.
	I am a washed-up has-been who's been tweeting maniacal crap.
	I am demanding an explanation from you, Elon.
	Explain now, pleb heathen.
	Please explain, and it had better be a good explanation.
	Why have...
	Hey, Stephen King, go do your own freaking homework before barking orders at the CEO of the company that runs the platform from which you're barking orders at him.
	It's not hard to do it.
	It took me about 30, 45 minutes this morning.
	Why have journalists had their Twitter accounts suspended?
	Please explain.
	Oh, Stephen, is this you, you filthy hypocrite?
	Sir, free speech does not include the right to yell fire in a crowded theater.
	That is what Donald Trump was doing and why he has been rightfully banned.
	Preposterous.
	And, I mean, it doesn't end.
	But that's it.
	So the question is going to be, there are two sides.
	There are two sides to this.
	The bottom line, the free speech side of this, is it free speech to publicly disclose someone's location from publicly available information?
	The question I would always ask is, why would anyone be doing it?
	Someone asked the good hypothetical.
	You're at the county fair, and Elon Musk is ordering a corn dog right in front of you.
	And you go to Twitter and you say, oh my god, Elon Musk is three people ahead of me at the county fair.
	That might have the same real-world consequences, especially for paparazzi.
	But would that be forbidden doxing?
	I would argue not, actually.
	To the extent that when Elon is in public, unmasked, his expectation of privacy is going to be greatly reduced.
	And if he's at a fair, eating a corn dog, chances are he's got his private security and is prepared accordingly.
	Having his position outed by others, for what reasons?
	Ostensibly to have him hounded and harassed?
	Arguable.
	Bottom line, however, whether or not you think it is suppression of free speech and an unwarranted one or a warranted one, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter.
	Just make rules that are clear, concise, and applied without political bias, and everyone will either be happy or unhappy.
	The problem here is that Elon seems to have changed the rules from a prior tweet of his own.
	Change the rules overnight to retroactively punish accounts that had violated that rule to suspend them.
	That could be a problem, setting aside whether you agree or disagree with the rule, whether or not it's clear or unclear.
	Retroactively punishing someone for what was not a violation at the time they committed the act that is now being punished as a violation, that's problematic in law, that's problematic in ethics, that's problematic in all respects.
	Have a law, have a rule that says doxing will include...
	Publicly identifying someone's location, even if it's via means that are publicly available, you may or may not like the rule, you'll know it, you'll live by it, or you can go do that on Mastodon, see what happens.
	All right.
	That is, I believe, the last of the Elon issue.
	Let's go to the chat, actually.
	You know what?
	CEO Rumble, if you're watching, can we get polls in the chat?
	In Rumble.
	Let's get polls so we can do a poll.
	Everyone in the chat, one, justified suspensions based on the evidence that we've looked over here.
	Maybe there has been some that are not justified.
	Let's simplify the question.
	Make it a justifiable rule to prohibit public identification of location of an individual without their consent.
	Yes, one.
	No, two.
	It is justifiable is a one.
	The rule to prohibit public identification of the location of an individual is justified.
	One yes, two no.
	And as I said that, I wanted to remember one nuance to discuss.
	One yes, two no.
	The one nuance that people should be very careful not to fall into the trap.
	When AOC says, I receive threats and I live with this every day.
	There is a difference between a public servant and a public figure.
	Public servants represent the people in some meaningful way when you apply for that job and get it.
	The people you represent need to know where you are.
	You're a public servant like, I don't know, a police officer, a sergeant, a captain.
	I need to know where you are if I'm going to go and report a crime, if I want to show up and meet with you.
	If I want to show up and see the people who represent me in my constituency, they're public servants.
	And therefore, when they're at work, when they're on the job, it's normal or much more expected that we should know where they are so that we can consult with them and see and meet with the people who represent us, who ran for the position and won it.
	So saying AOC is on Capitol Hill for a protest at three o 'clock or she's at her office in wherever.
	That's different than saying Elon Musk, a public figure but a private citizen, is landing at LaGuardia and is coming out gate one.
	There's a difference there.
	Even public servants, when they're on vacation, for example, where Justin Trudeau is when he has his daily schedule is different than where he is when he's on private vacation.
	And so knowing the location and one being public and therefore of interest to everybody who he represents as a politician, a public servant, I think he should get the thumbs up.
	It will be arguable when he's on vacation, oh, he's staying at Chateau whatever on Tofino Island as he's not answering the protesters because he's often hiding after he got over his third bout of COVID.
	So there's that distinction.
	But that's it.
	60design says harmful, intentional, meant to put in danger.
	Doxing should be illegal, but public knowledge is public knowledge.
	Agreed.
	I mean, I agree with that.
	Just the bottom line is public knowledge, That you then put on blast on social media.
	The question then becomes, it's public knowledge.
	Anybody who wants it can go get it.
	Oh, I'm merely facilitating letting them know where the judges reside.
	No.
	It would be very easy to argue that putting it on blast on social media so you just let people know what is already public information as to where someone resides, where someone's going to be, where they are without their permission, everybody knows why they're doing that.
	Typically, it's not for good reasons.
	Could be for paparazzi.
	Could be, oh, Brad Pitt is being spotted at a store on Rodeo Drive.
	Nike7 says, do I take a picture in public?
	Elon is in the background.
	Did I break the rules even if I didn't see him?
	The obvious answer would be no.
	And then the other thing is he says, look, by the time you post that picture within short order, Elon will no longer be there.
	But it gets to a bit of the intention.
	You take a picture in public.
	It would get fuzzy.
	Take a picture in public.
	Look who's behind me.
	OJ's having lunch at this cafe right now.
	Some people say that's doxing.
	Trying to get a mob to harass somebody.
	Look who I just saw, which is typically how it happens, is not he's there now, everybody go get him.
	And then people talk about the paparazzi as the analogy.
	First of all, paparazzi do not publicize when they know someone's going to be somewhere because they don't want anybody else showing up.
	When people take to social media and say, this is where Elon's going to be.
	I found it.
	I made a code and cracked the privacy thing that he had implemented on his plane.
	This is where he's going to be.
	It's not easy to argue why someone is doing that.
	And even if they're not doing it for nefarious reasons, the easy harm that can come of it.
	And for people who say, Elon, live with it.
	You know what happens next?
	Elon says, okay, big middle finger to all you journalists.
	I'll live with it.
	I got money for security.
	I have 24-7 security.
	Won't be a problem for me.
	Guess what happens when?
	The people who don't like you doing it to me do it to you.
	Then you're going to come groveling to Elon and say, but Elon, I don't have the money you have for private security.
	You've got to ban the people doxing my real-time location.
	That's how it's going to go down.
	One way or another, the disingenuous lack of standard blue checkmark on the left who are blasting Elon for imposing this rule would blast Elon for not imposing this rule if he says, okay, fine.
	Docs all you want with public information.
	Go ahead and do it on journalists.
	Oh, it's public information.
	Where your office is, New York Times.
	Where you go for lunch.
	It's public information.
	Okay.
	What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
	I've got security.
	Now you're going to come groveling and say, you're putting too much heat on me.
	People hate me.
	I can't do my job now.
	I'm a journalist.
	How am I supposed to go undercover if people keep ratting me up?
	I don't have your means to protect myself, Elon.
	You've got to protect me and damn you for protecting yourself.
	One way or another, they're going to come after Elon.
	The only question is to have good answers, especially ones to reconcile with past tweets and to make clear rules that are applied evenly without political motivation or political bias.
	Okay.
	Good.
	I'm glad we had this discussion.
	I think it's a reasonable position.
	We agree to rules that suppress...
	Freedom of speech.
	You can't spam.
	You can't run around.
	You agree to rules so that you can maintain a certain functionality decorum environment at a platform.
	That was...
	What's his face?
	Dummy McGee.
	All right.
	What else did we have on the menu here?
	Okay.
	I did the puff piece.
	Oh, yes.
	Speaking of which, here we go.
	Just some bad takes.
	I have a pain in the nerve under my leg from sitting for extended periods of time.
	Bruce Arthur, in a tweet that it doesn't piss me off.
	It's just like, you all know that I have a bizarre...
	The thing about the olfactory sense.
	This tweet makes me have the visions of a foul odor in my nose.
	Bruce Arthur.
	I didn't know who he was until I found out.
	If you still defend Elon, because Elon wants to prevent public identification of real-time location of him.
	Oh, and by the way, end of you, Bruce.
	If you still defend Elon, that tells me everything I need to know about you.
	And it's not good, friend.
	If you call me friend and I've never met you before, that tells me everything I need to know about you, and it's not good.
	That was my punchline to this.
	Bruce Arthur, it's an interesting take.
	If you still defend Elon, oddly enough, Bruce, you don't understand this, Elon is protecting not only himself, he's using his own personal experience as a pretext to protect you.
	If you still defend Elon, that tells me everything I need to know about you, and it's not good.
	Who's Bruce Arthur?
	Bruce Arthur.
	Toronto Star columnist.
	Father of four.
	TSN contributor.
	We can be good.
	And we're going to make it.
	They always have such positive optimism in their descriptions right before they descend into the most intolerant vitriol.
	It tells me everything you need to know about you, boy.
	And it's not good.
	I'll tell you what.
	Oh, then I just have to go find some beauty.
	So Toronto Star.
	Yeah, that's good.
	Let me just go find some gems.
	Oh, this is from Bruce Arthur.
	Vaccine mandates work.
	That tells me everything I need to know about you.
	This is a bone-stupid argument that pops up, often from the bog of anti-vaccine talking points, that some people get COVID, so trying to restrain COVID was useless.
	Matt Strauss is an ideologue masking in public health.
	This man works for the Toronto Star.
	And lest we ever forget the filth of the Toronto Star, the intolerant, vitriolic filth.
	Now, I'm not saying that everyone's guilty for the sins of their employer unless they contribute to them.
	There were some other ones about getting kids vaccinated, too.
	Bruce Arthur is all about giving medical advice on the interwebs with impunity.
	You work for the Toronto Star.
	That tells us everything we need to know.
	More bad takes from people who seem to have forgotten their own Twitter history on the interwebs.
	Let me see what's going on in the...
	I see some colors.
	I see some colors.
	Hold on a second.
	$2 rumble rant from CrazyGuru1.
	Doxing in real time is not freedom of speech.
	It is an action.
	But it's only based on...
	It's based on public information.
	Toronto Reds.
	I'm just making fun.
	I tend to agree.
	There's very...
	Some people raise the argument, well, there's newsworthy public appearances, you know, like when a team is going to land from their jet.
	But I mean, you obviously know, tracking someone's movement 24-7 and dedicating an account to tracking their movement is a little different in nature than the athletes are returning from the Olympics and we want to salute them at the airport.
	So it's different in nature.
	But anyway, bottom line, you got to make a coherent rule.
	That will not be abused or misinterpreted.
	I ain't your guy, pal.
	Okay, hold on.
	Let me see what else we had there.
	There's another article.
	I've been reluctant to talk about it.
	It's just another upsetting...
	It's another upsetting...
	I think we've covered the Elon Musk ad nauseum.
	Elon is discovering what it's like to actually be God.
	It was Bruce Almighty.
	When you start hearing the prayers and the complaints of everybody on Earth, Elon Musk is in some way not a religious, not a spiritual sense, God-like in that he now owns a universe, and he has to answer for the complaints of everyone.
	He has to answer to the questions of everyone.
	He has to try to please everyone, and he's realizing that it's, you know, I'm sure he knew it's not going to be easy, but my goodness, it's interesting to watch.
	I had this up for a reason.
	Oh yeah, this is David Korn.
	Last one.
	Last one on the Elon story.
	David Korn.
	I don't know who the person is, although I did see DC, which raised some flags.
	I read this tweet, and starting it, it sounds reasonable.
	For the sake of transparency, can you please show how the banned accounts did this and specify the rules going forward?
	This is criticizing me all day long, but doxing me in real time and endangering my family is not.
	Okay.
	For the sake of transparency, please show us how the banned accounts did it and specify the rules going forward.
	That's a good one.
	I'll take that one.
	Just want to know the rules.
	That's all we ever wanted with YouTube.
	That's all we ever wanted with Twitter, with whatever else.
	And Elon Musk, can you release all the communications and documents related to these decisions?
	You see what he did here?
	First of all, this is a reasonable request.
	We just want to see what rules they broke and how they did it, the evidence.
	In as much as you could show it without...
	Repeating the violation of doxing.
	Oh, and can you release all of the communications and documents related to these decisions?
	Because that's what you did as relates to Twitter's previous decisions with respect to the whole Twitter files.
	It's so smart.
	They're flipping it on its head.
	They're making Elon look like the biggest hypocrite on Earth.
	He's all about transparency.
	When it comes to releasing certain files and all the supporting correspondence, but not others.
	Oh, I don't know who David...
	I just closed it.
	I don't remember who David Cohn was now.
	And it doesn't matter.
	He quickly realized, not a rational person.
	Doesn't understand the slight distinction between the CEO of the company deciding what company documents they are going to release from their own company versus being told by someone who's outside of the company to release documents of the company.
	It's a slightly different circumstance when the CEO makes a decision to support the decisions they've made to disclose the documents, when the CEO of their own company says, I'm releasing the documents for my company to show the world what was going on before I took it over, versus some nitwit on the interwebs telling the CEO what he has to do with his company.
	So not quite symmetrical, although I'm sure in your mind when you tweeted that, it was genius symmetry that was going to give you...
	Thousands of retweets that make you a hero among your brethren.
	Okay, so we got the puff piece.
	This is when we talk to the National Post article, which I have to go back and see if I missed the point.
	If I missed the point, I'm still blaming the National Post because I read and I read all of it.
	And if I miss it, it's too subtle.
	I think it's too subtle.
	Okay.
	Just going to clean up these stories.
	Tim Pool also getting it right with Aaron Rupar, although I think anybody who knows Aaron Rupar knows that they're getting Rupar.
	Some just like it.
	And what do we have here?
	This was the original tweet.
	Okay, thank goodness I finally found it.
	This was the original one from Elon.
	My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk.
	Some people are going to call him an absolute hypocrite.
	Elon, how do you reconcile this with your, I'm banning the account because they doxed me and it causes real-time safety?
	You said my commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk.
	Well, if I'm going to be Elon's lawyer and I'm going to tell him, Elon, this is how you're going to have to explain this away, I would suggest that in this tweet, when he referred to the account following his plane, He meant that the account was dedicated to following the plane and not following and disclosing real-time location.
	Like he said later on, if you want to follow it with a slight delay, that's fine.
	If he wants to wiggle out of this tweet, which makes him look like kind of the hypocrite, he can very easily argue.
	He was not banning the account that was following his plane because it was dedicated to following the plane.
	But if they disclose real-time location, that takes any personal risk to the next level.
	Or...
	He'll just say, I learned from experience.
	Yep.
	What's the point in having a mind if you don't change it?
	I realize I was naive, oversimplistic, and that rule is not going to fly going forward, pun intended, nor will it fly for anyone else, even the people shitting on me for protecting them despite them not knowing this.
	All right.
	Now, so I saw this tweet the other day.
	Peter Sweden.
	Peter Sweden.
	I'm Peter Emanuelsson, Swedish journalist.
	I read that in a Swedish accent.
	Swedish journalist, political commentator, supporter of freedom, kindness, and liberty, contact, inquiries.
	Okay.
	And in fairness to Peter Sweden, I haven't found...
	His account seems decent.
	Tweeted out, shocking, another journalist died suddenly while in Qatar to cover the World Cup.
	There's now three journalists that have died unexpectedly and suddenly the last weeks.
	This isn't normal.
	This should be bigger news.
	A British politician says that a whistleblower report that heart problems from the mRNA shots are being covered up by leading doctors.
	The media is silent.
	So, I'm reluctant to talk about the story.
	I heard about Grant Wall, who's a beloved sports journalist.
	And I say beloved because he passed away suddenly.
	From an aortic rupture, which we're going to get to in a second because the cause of death was just released.
	When you say that someone is loved and respected, I literally did not see any negative comment anywhere about Grant Wall from anyone.
	By all accounts, a wonderful person, a dedicated, talented journalist who died tragically and suddenly, married, died suddenly.
	You just know that when...
	The words died suddenly with a young person, especially a male, in this world and context.
	You know what everyone's going to do, and everyone did it.
	And causation does not equal correlation.
	Correlation does not equal causation.
	Grant Wall was fully vaccinated, as he had to be to travel to do his job.
	And so people made that immediate connection.
	And it's not an unjustified one.
	It's not an untenable, unjustifiable one.
	The irony, let me pull this article down.
	The irony is that there are people out there who are suggesting that the three journalists dying suddenly in Qatar while covering the World Cup, that it had something to do with LGBTQ rights, and that there are people out there who think it's less conspiratorial to suggest that the Qatari government is secretly...
	assassinating journalists for covering the world cup and covering There are people who think that suggestion, that hypothesis is less conspiratorial, less of a conspiracy theory than these are just young.
	Well, one of them wasn't so young.
	I had to find out who the third journalist was.
	These are people dying for reasons related to potentially delayed vaccine entry.
	People think it's less of a conspiracy theory to suggest surreptitious assassinations by Qatari government than side effects of the jibby jab.
	Because all of these people are or have to be, I believe, jibby jabbed to be traveling, to be doing their job.
	Grant Wall was.
	He had tweets to that effect.
	He had one saying, fully vaxxed, can go do my job now.
	He had gotten bronchitis.
	Notwithstanding his status, he'd gotten very ill, and some people are going to say he got ill notwithstanding his status, but maybe potentially because of it.
	He's one of the three that died suddenly, and it made the news, and he looked like a wonderful person.
	There was not one bad thing anybody had to say about him, and it's a tragedy.
	This is from today, right?
	No, this is two days ago.
	Supporter Grant Wall died of a ruptured aortic aneurysm at World Cup, his wife says.
	Grant Wall, the American soccer reporter who collapsed and died while covering the World Cup in Qatar last week, died of an aortic aneurysm that ruptured his wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, said Wednesday.
	It's just one of these things that have been likely brewing for years and for whatever the reason that happened at this point in time, Gounder said on CBS this morning.
	In a longer statement, Gounder said an autopsy performed by the New York City Medical Examiner's Office determined he died from the rupture of a slowly growing, undetected ascending aortic aneurysm with a hemopericardium.
	I know the questions I would be asking, and I'll ask a doctor when I have one on soon.
	The chest pressure he experienced shortly before his death may have represented the initial symptoms.
	No amount of CPR or shocks would have saved him.
	She said, adding that there was nothing nefarious about his death.
	Wall, a longtime college basketball and soccer reporter for the Sports Illustrated, and for his own newsletter, collapsed while covering the Argentinian match and was later declared dead.
	He was 49. He had covered soccer for two decades, etc., etc.
	According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an aortic aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart to the chest.
	In a rupture, the aneurysm bursts completely, causing bleeding inside the body.
	The CDC says aortic aneurysms or dissections caused about 10,000 deaths in 2019.
	About 59% of those deaths were among men.
	CNN chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who we all know what we think about him now, said an aortic aneurysm is generally rare and difficult to spot.
	It's very hard to see.
	It's probably something that had been there for some time.
	We don't need to read the very upsetting part.
	So that's the cause of death for Grant Wall.
	I know there are people out there who are going to even draw connections between the aortic aneurysm and other potential heart damage that can cause it, lead to it, exacerbate it, trigger it.
	That is not my wheelhouse.
	I'm going to look into it.
	potentially have that discussion with someone who I recognize knows more than me about it.
	There was a $5 rumble rant.
	Dobik's dog says Canada's PM plane is tracked and easily found online.
	The national post headlines back in October, Ottawa reverses orders, Ottawa reverses order to block PM's flights from tracking websites.
	Thanks.
	Thank you.
	Let me see this.
	So let's assume that that's even true, Dobrik's dog.
	Canada's PM plane is tracked and easily found online.
	The National Post headlines back in October, Ottawa reverses order to block PM's flights from tracking websites.
	Again, I'll say that the difference between a public servant during their employment, it's not only to be expected, it's part of the job.
	When you're the Prime Minister, the people should know where you are and your constituents should be able to locate you.
	Although I could still see that being a very serious risk to safety for the Prime Minister, although I think he's got all the tax dollars in the world to ensure his own safety as well.
	Let's see what we've got here.
	An ascending aortic aneurysm is often a death sentence.
	The only thing we can do for those in EMS is drive fast.
	I can't imagine the idea of bleeding out in your chest from a...
	From something like this.
	So anyways, I mean, that's it.
	But there's been three journalists that have died now.
	Died suddenly.
	One of them was older.
	And it's happening to the point where people are looking for alternative, politically acceptable explanations, one of which might be nefarious government action.
	All right, people.
	I think we've done good here.
	Let's see what we got in the chat.
	Every shot causes some degree of permanent damage.
	Jeff Tindell.
	Yeah, six in three months, says Big Chillin'505.
	R.J.L.
	RJLKC says, this was true.
	That's how we knew.
	He went for the Caribbean for Christmas while he was locking us all in our homes.
	True, but then it just goes back to being able to track where he went is different than being able to track where he's going to be at a given point in time.
	But anyhow, I think we've exhausted that thoroughly.
	Let me go to my Twitter feed and see if there's any other diary-level stuff that I forgot to get to today.
	Confession Through Projection shirts.
	Let's see this here.
	It's funny, like once...
	You engage with certain people.
	The Twitter algorithm knows to put more of them up so they can engage with you.
	Listen to this.
	Bruce Arthur, this is the National Post guy.
	No, this is the Toronto Star guy.
	Sorry.
	This is the Toronto Star guy.
	Bruce Arthur says, the modern right has no principles beyond the stories they tell themselves.
	Orange man bad.
	Russia collusion.
	Shithole countries.
	Took the bust of Martin Luther King out of the office.
	The right has no principles beyond the stories they tell themselves about their enemies, which are just stories about themselves but draped in different clothing.
	This is like confession through projection inception.
	This guy's projecting the projection on those that he's projecting the projection on.
	Victimization.
	Hmm, who does that?
	Narcissism.
	Hatred.
	And fantasy.
	All wrapped up in a bundle of fast-twitch emotional emptiness.
	Can you believe that this is what someone is actually using to describe the right?
	Victimization?
	I mean, there's literally the oppression Olympics.
	There's literally a debate as to who is a bigger victim, a black straight male or a white trans woman.
	I mean, victimization, narcissism.
	Libs of TikTok documenting the narcissism in real life.
	Call me Zay or G. Narcissism.
	Hatred.
	I mean, this is...
	Anyhow, go get your shirt, Bruce.
	I'll even send you one for free for Christmas.
	That's how generous I am.
	Okay, let's see.
	We got Rupar Link.
	I'm not giving those accounts.
	What other stories did we have that anybody wants to talk about right now?
	So this is a debate.
	Twitter is not the place for debate.
	I've been blocked by a few more people.
	Yeah, this is somebody who said, who identified the PIA part.
	People, I think we've done good.
	I think we've gotten everything.
	Oh, God.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Let's just see if we got an answer yet.
	I mentioned our names like Mrs. Merkel, even Vladimir Putin and so on, they all have been young global leaders of the World Economic Forum.
	But what we are very proud of now is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau, President of Argentina, What do you think?
	So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I would know that half of this cabinet, or even more half of this cabinet, are actually young global leaders of the world.
	Justin Trudeau, is it true?
	Is this video of Klaus Schwab penetrating the Canadian government true?
	That's got a thousand retweets now.
	Did you stop teaching at a Vancouver school?
	Because of that, it's got 700 retweets now.
	The overwhelming majority of gun crime...
	That one's too complicated.
	Let's just see how the other ones are doing.
	Kian Beeksty, what has caused your net worth to explode over the course of the pandemic?
	1,000 retweets.
	No, but let's talk about your morning routine.
	Okay, whatever.
	Hey, by the way, if National Post was trying to make their point, they blew it because they didn't reference those actual, meaningful, legitimate questions that journalists, once upon a time, when they weren't bought and paid for, used to be asking.
	Then we got these guys.
	Here is my screen grab.
	Congratulations, we're processing your...
	I have one NFT.
	It's going to be worth a million dollars.
	And I'm going to retire.
	And if I retired, I'd be doing the exact same thing that I'm doing right now.
	Because I love this.
	I think that's it.
	I think that's it.
	Oh, no.
	This is some of the research I did after.
	Talking about that $50,000 study that the Trudeau government sponsored.
	Look at this, by the way.
	So this is from the study that said there's an increased risk of not being vaccinated.
	And getting into serious car accidents.
	I went to look at their numbers.
	Age characteristic.
	18 to 39 had half of the...
	How many total?
	Had half of the crashes.
	18 to 39 years accounted for half of the crashes.
	18 to...
	Oh, then you got 40 to 64 less.
	18 to 39, 50% of the crashes.
	Risk with no vaccine.
	$1,100.
	They took the demographic, which is, based on all other stats, statistically the most likely to get into car accidents, just because they're young, bad drivers.
	That's the way it works.
	And because they're young, healthy people, statistically least likely to get or need the vax.
	And they use that to come to the conclusion that there's a correlation between not being vaccinated and car accidents.
	$50,000 for that.
	Absolute rubbish.
	And they suggest in the same article, vaccinated drivers should get a discount and EMTs should tread cautiously when approaching someone who's been in a horrible car accident requiring hospitalization potentially because they might not be vaccinated.
	Higher risk of carrying their own.
	Absolute nonsense.
	Bryant WM says Vladimir Putin.
	So apparently...
	Depending on how you spell Putin or translate it in native Russian or certain languages, you have a Putin as an accent, as a pronunciation.
	But yeah, I thought that was funny also.
	And we got Von Range says, people better start buying Tesla stock because if the price falls too much, the banks will be able to take over Twitter.
	It's bought on leverage against Tesla stock.
	All right, let's see what we got here in the chat.
	We need more demented drivers.
	Get those dementia patients...
	Okay.
	All right, people.
	So that is it for the day.
	I think that's...
	Oh, someone tweeted in the chat wanting me to pull up this tweet.
	I had seen it already.
	It's classic.
	It's a little self-promotion, so I'm going to play it.
	But this is when Twitter was let back on.
	Jesus.
	I'm there.
	I'm there.
	That's me.
	That was very loud.
	I apologize for blasting everyone's ears out.
	All right, people, go.
	Enjoy the day.
	Sunday stream, we've got one.
	Monday, I've got the Norwegian artist who's facing potential jail time because she said as a female lesbian, she said men cannot be lesbians and she's under investigation, potentially facing...
	A fine and prison time.
	What else?
	That's Monday.
	Sunday night, standard Sunday evening with Barnes.
	I'll see if I do something live tomorrow.
	We'll see.
	I miss everybody when we don't go live, but there has to be something meaningful to talk about.
	But one way or another, I will see you Sunday.
	Right now, I'm going to go find a fun video to play us out with.
	Viva.
	Let's do Viva Fry Cooking.
	Something with cooking.
	I know what we're going to do.
	I know what we're going to do.
	I was in...
	I was into cooking.
	I was into eating bugs before the WEF said it was cool.
	Let's get the one when we ate bugs.
	The most beautiful fruit.
	Yeah, let's get the one.
	Viva Fry Crickets.
	It's a little long of a video.
	All right, whatever.
	We're going to do it anyhow.
	Back in the day, I was into eating crickets.
	Before it was cool.
	Before, it was a question of...
	All right, enjoy this, people.
	I will see you Sunday, no later.
	Thank you all for the company, companionship.
	Live with standards.
	It means that you can live without a memory.
	That's the way I do things.
	My brother tweeted me and said, you know, are you...
	What's your take on Elon Musk?
	And I was like, oh, here are my tweets already because I have principles.
	I have standards.
	I don't need to have a memory.
	I don't need to remember.
	Hold on a second.
	Did I justify someone's ban while simultaneously complaining about someone else's?
	No.
	Show me the evidence every time.
	It's not because I don't like Aaron Rupert that I would support a willy-nilly ban on him.
	And it's not because I happen to have a bit of admiration for what Elon is doing that he's going to get a pass on his justifications for not bringing back...
	Alex Jones, and maybe for contradicting his own...
	I'll hold everyone to the same standard, and I don't need to have a memory to know that.
	But all that to say, continue the righteous battle, but continue it in a way that would make your parents, your pets, and your children proud.
	Because when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares right back at you, and there is no point defeating the monster if it means becoming the monster.
	So, with that said, enjoy!
	Me eating crickets, and I'm sure it's going to be total cringe.
	It's an eight-minute video.
	Enjoy.
	I will see you all no later than Sunday.
	Peace out, beefs.
	Jesus, that's loud also.
	So sorry.
	So sorry.
	You don't have to taste.
	You might want to.
	I'm just going to taste it myself.
	Okay, okay.
	Okay, this is called sautera avec sauterelle.
	Je vais le dire en français pour que la petite ne comprend pas exactement ce qu'elle mange.
	Enjoy.
	Okay.
	I'll tell you what it is.
	Oh gosh.
	The ingredients.
	This says served directly on meat, poultry, fish, seafood, pastas, salad, or mixed with dip.
	In other words, eat with anything.
	Ingredients.
	Guayiro.
	Pula and ancho peppers.
	Grasshoppers.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Canola oil, apple vinegars, garlic salt and spices.
	No.
	I'm not teasing my daddy.
	You would never know.
	A wing.
	Excuse me.
	No, it's just a chili pepper.
	You want a taste?
	I don't need to be so mentally.
	Too late.
	I'm filming you right now.
	You would never know what you're eating if you didn't know.
	No, it's good.
	It's the texture, I think, that...
	I wouldn't like eating the crunchy ones.
	Well, let's just see now.
	Can you bring it here?
	So that's the sauce.
	We'll put it on some bread later.
	I found also Grillo.
	This is called Don Grillo.
	Roasted crickets.
	And these are grasshoppers.
	Lime grasshoppers.
	Come look at this.
	Come look at this.
	The packaging is beautiful.
	Look inside here.
	Look at this.
	Is your finger in the way?
	Look at that.
	Can I see it?
	Yeah.
	It's an actual little...
	You see this?
	Look at that!
	There's a little leg right there!
	Is the lighting good?
	That's the leg!
	That's the thorax and the leg!
	Ugh, I just got some in my arm.
	You want to taste?
	No?
	No, I'll do it right there.
	Taste money!
	You have to taste one.
	Here.
	Don't be a sissy.
	Why are you going to focus all the time?
	I guarantee you you're going to like it.
	I guarantee you you're going to like it.
	There's so many segments.
	I don't know if I can do it.
	What flavor is this?
	Lime.
	Lime.
	And I'm telling you, you're just opening your mouth.
	I'll do it on my own.
	This people are going to try it.
	This one after.
	I'm just going to take a small one.
	I'm just going to take a small one.
	Absolutely, totally edible.
	It doesn't taste good.
	I find it doesn't taste bad.
	I find it tastes good.
	Like salty lime.
	Oh, she's out.
	You gonna try?
	Tastes like eating...
	Saga?
	Here, take this.
	Okay, we're gonna try this one now.
	These are the roasted crickets.
	Oh, now this actually looks more like maggots than anything else.
	These are crickets.
	A cricket is like a little grasshopper.
	Let this taste!
	And trust me, you need to taste one.
	Okay, let me taste.
	Really?
	Oh, the toast.
	Those are good.
	You want to taste?
	Those look like...
	They're more seasoned.
	Yeah, it's like a little peanut.
	It's good, eh?
	Hey.
	You want to taste one of the grasshoppers?
	No, no, no.
	You sure?
	They taste just as good.
	You can hold them by the leg.
	You don't have to.
	It's there if you want, if you decide to.
	These are...
	Oh, it's a head.
	I'm not going to eat the leg.
	Hold on a second.
	Why would I eat one?
	I ate one.
	You ate one?
	It's good, eh?
	Okay.
	These ones are better.
	The crickets are definitely better.
	We're going to take these my parents tonight.
	Excuse me though, I had a cricket leg stuck in my back of my throat.
	What do you think of that?
	A shellfish allergy could translate into...
	It's interesting.
	Which one do you like better, the crickets or the grasshoppers?
	Both of them.
	High five.
	Booyah!
	I just flipped off the leg.
	Okay.
	She's savoring it.
	So this is grilled crickets, garlic powder, and sea salt.
	Produced by Mexiquas.
	Gourmet Mexican, Inc.
	And a shellfish allergy could translate into an allergy to insects.
	Is that a linguistic statement or a biological one?
	A shellfish allergy could translate...
	Allergios.
	Mine.
	I tried it.
	Oh, this is cool.
	We're going to bring this to Granny Pop tonight.
	Which ones are better?
	All of them.
	Incidentally, this I don't like as much.
	Let's just taste like savory jam.
	I do like that.
	You know what?
	I like all this.
	Daddy, why are you still looking at me?
	I already tasted it.
	I'm looking at you because I like you.
	Why aren't you looking at me?
	Okay, cool.
	She tasted it.
	Mine.
	Stop telling me.
	Okay.
	Look at the tiny one.
	What are they doing?
	Guys?
	You have been broken like a wild horse you have now ventured.
	Into cricket land.
