Put this up.
This woman tweeted, I will never regret the vaccine, even if it turns out I injected actual poison and have only days to live.
My heart and is was in the right place.
I got vaccinated out of love while anti-vaxxers did everything out of hate.
If I have to die because of my love for the world, then so be it.
But I will never regret or apologize for it.
It's a fascinating perspective.
First of all, the tweet has now been confirmed to have been fake.
But there's a reason why I'm playing Joe Rogan's clip to get into the correction, because I believe corrections should be issued as loud as the announcement itself that was incorrect.
But there's another reason.
Listen to Joe Rogan assessing something that he vehemently disagrees with and the tone and tenor of his disagreement, despite the fact that the tweet ends up being fake.
And we'll get into it.
And it's also a fascinating perspective that this person claims to be about love, but has the most uncharitable view of people who didn't get vaccinated.
That everyone got anti-vax out of hate.
The idea that I didn't get vaccinated out of hate I find so ridiculous.
Like, I don't hate anyone.
I am a loving person.
I do it on purpose.
I go out of my way.
To be as charitable and as kind as possible.
And when I don't, I feel very disappointed in myself.
If I make any decision or a statement that I feel doesn't align with that, maybe flippantly in the moment, maybe joking around, I'm very disappointed in myself.
I'm very self-critical.
I like Joe Rogan.
Period.
Full stop.
I like Joe Rogan.
The old expression, goodness is its own reward, and the anecdote, That I once shared with everybody was that I went into the bathroom in my old office space where it was just my office on that floor and two other small offices, not lawyers, just other people.
And I go into the bathroom and the bathroom reeks because someone took a massive dump and didn't flush the toilet.
It was disgusting.
And I could have just left the bathroom and say, not my mess, not my fault, not my problem.
And I say...
I'm going to go flush the toilet.
It's like I'm going to hold my breath and do all the insane OCD ritual things.
Flush the toilet.
Sure enough, you know, it freshens up the bathroom.
And as I leave the bathroom, somebody else comes in.
And had I not flushed the toilet, they surely would have thought that I took the dump and discourteously left it there for us.
So the goodness to some extent being its own reward.
Sorry for the poopy potty analogy.
Joe Rogan.
It's not just that he says it.
And doesn't act that way.
I think he genuinely does.
And the evidence that he does is how he dealt with that tweet, which now turns out to be fake on its own, but we'll get into, you know, what was the actual tweet.
Even in his judgment of what many people judged much more harshly, much more rudely, much more sassily, even in his judgment on that, he was...
Tolerant, thoughtful, and forgiving.
And now that it turns out that the tweet in and of itself was fake, well, Joe Rogan being thoughtful, caring, even in his disagreement, saying, you know, it's a fascinating perspective.
Because although that tweet was fake, the perspective is in fact one that has been publicly espoused by others.
There was that Australian journalist who got myocarditis from the jab and said, I'd still do it again.
It's what we have to do.
For the greater good.
I mean, literally.
We talked about it.
I forget what her name is.
Am I blurry?
Whether or not this particular MD and that particular tweet was fake, and it was, and we'll get to it, others have espoused a similar view in equally categoric terms.
But Joe Rogan is not judgmental, not rude, not mean-spirited.
It's a fascinating perspective, and it lacks insight.
And now that he happened to have been wrong on that tweet, well, the fact that he was forgiving and weighed his words unthoughtful, It's his own reward.
Because although the tweet ended up being fake and Joe Rogan had to delete that segment from the podcast with Brett Weinstein, he's not an asshole.
He's not an asshole.
Even in the way that he reacted to it.
All right.
Now, the tweet.
I am a firm proponent in the belief that, first of all, there is no such thing as perfection of results.
What you might have is perfection of process.
And perfection of process necessarily admits for a process when one makes a mistake.
Because people will make mistakes.
People will get duped.
People will retweet something that is inaccurate, false.
I'm a firm proponent of the idea that the correction has to be, in as much as possible, as public as the mistake itself.
That was the tweet that made the rounds.
I'm sure you all saw it.
It was from an account named SolnadaMD, a real account on Twitter.
And it was a screen grab of a tweet that said what Joe Rogan read.
And it went viral.
The initial person, blue checkmark, who shared it.
You know, people thought it was real.
People retweeted it.
Some people not so tolerantly judged the tweet.
Other people apparently started harassing the account holder.
Yada, yada.
I initially, when I saw that tweet the first time, I said, this has to be parody.
It has to be.
There's no other way around it.
But the account is now locked.
It's in protected mode, which seems suspicious.
If something is a fake tweet, my goodness, the first thing you do is put a pinned tweet on your profile.
That tweet is fake.
It's not mine.
Everyone be warned.
Okay.
Joe Rogan did the segment on it.
I retweeted it with, let me see if I have my retweets.
And I said, at first, I thought it had to be parody.
Well, I'm not going to...
Hold on a second.
I'm going to bring up mine because I know that I have it.
I said, at first I thought it had to be parody.
Go to the account.
At first it was locked and now I'm blocked.
And I said, oh, I guess it's real.
I mean, who blocks someone willy-nilly under those circumstances?
And I erroneously, just to show my mistake, which I'll make as public as the correction.
Here.
I know I have it somewhere here.
Here.
The tweet purportedly from SolnadaMD is not parody but apparently fabricated from a tweet generator.
I don't know why she would have protected tweets and blocked me since I thought it had to be parody.
I would have gladly blasted out that the tweet was fake had she told me.
And this is where the people who want to try to justify their mistake or rationalize their mistake to themselves are going to say, well, the original tweets are not much better, so yada yada.
This is the original tweet.
This is from her account.
These are screen grabs because I've been blocked and couldn't verify the original tweet or these.
This tweet is what trolls are attacking, but they rewrote it.
I stand by the tweet below, which says, That's the allegedly authentic tweet.
The fabricated one...
Some are going to say it's no worse, but it's fabricated.
And in any event, nobody should ever harass, bombard, threaten, whatever, anybody for things they've said on social media.
But my reflexive mistake was I tried to go to the account to verify, protect it, and then blocked.
And I said, I guess it's real.
Still absurd.
But even in my judgment of that, even in my retweet, again, goodness is its own reward.
That tweet was fake and everyone should know it.
Whether or not you think the authentic tweet is any better, up to you.
But you should know it.
Everybody should know it.
Don't make the same mistake in retweeting it.
And kudos to Joe Rogan.
Outright apologized.
Pulled the clip from the show, but it's still on Twitter.
But people should know of the correction so they don't make the mistake again.
Now, good morning.
Does anyone hear the noise?
I have.
Let me see if I can show what I've done.
Let me just make sure we're good on Rumble.
Good.
Let me show you what I've done.
Add to stream.
Let me show you what I've done here.
Because there's construction going on.
And my wife says, Viva.
She calls me Viva now.
She doesn't.
She says, Dave, you should turn your stubbornness into something inspirational, motivational.
Don't wait for things to be perfect in order to do things.
Done is better than perfect.
Perseverance is better than finding excuses.
There is so much noise going on in this house.
But I've locked myself in the studio.
I have soundproofed it from the inside.
As you can see, those are the crappy panels that I once ordered off of Amazon.
Junk.
They didn't stick to the wall.
They were compressed.
I have stitched them together and put them over the flaps of the doors to block the sound.
That's Pudge.
End of Sheep.
Peas or poops on that, that'll be a problem.
That's from the inside.
My wife, from the outside, padded me in, butt proper.
So I don't know if anybody hears any noise.
Let me know what you hear, if you hear any noise.
And I am soundproofing the studio.
Yesterday was one of those days, if anybody follows us on Locals, vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
I put out a poll yesterday.
I said, I couldn't do anything in this room because of the construction behind me.
That construction is done.
I've got a day where I can't work even if I wanted to.
Should I go biking, fishing, to the beach?
What were the other options, locals?
Fishing, biking, to the beach, soundproof the studio, or all of the above?
I tried to do all of the above, and I got none of the above done.
I ended up exercising, JB.
I got none of the above done because I went to Home Depot.
They don't have soundproof panels.
I went to Best Buy.
They don't have soundproof panels.
I then came back.
My wife said, the house is too dusty and noisy.
Take me and the dogs.
We'll go to the beach.
Took her and the dogs.
Went to the beach.
Found out real quick.
There's only one beach in our area that allows dogs.
And apparently, they only allow dogs Friday through Sunday, 9 through 12, 5 to sunset, and only if you have a permit for the dog.
So by the time we got turned away from the beach, came back, picked up the kids, and that was the end of the day.
All right.
Poop is sound dampening.
Y 'all good?
There's no question.
I could use it like cement to go through the bottom of the door.
Nate Edwards, thank you very much.
And standard disclaimers here, everybody.
Superchats.
For anybody who chooses to support the channel through Superchats, thank you very much.
You should know.
YouTube takes 30% of Superchats.
If you don't like that...
Simultancy streaming on the Rumbles.
The pinned link to Rumble is in the pinned link in the chat in YouTube.
They have these things called Rumble Rants, where they take 20%.
Better for the creator, better for the platform, yada, yada.
You know it.
Best place to support, if you want to support Robert and I, me, Robert and me, in everything that we do, locals, vivabarneslaw.locals.com, where we have a live chat currently pending.
Mr. Mike, Mr. Mike in the chat says, barricaded yourself inside plus a guard dog.
I think you're secure.
The only thing, Mr. Mike, everybody out there who wants a little TMI, I have a hyperactive bladder and I've evacuated my bladder multiple times before starting the stream, but the idea of being cornered and not being able to go to the bathroom, even if I want to, tremendously terrifying.
Master Mulrubius, I haven't seen you in a while.
Hello and Happy New Year, Viva and Peeps.
How can we change the ideas of people if we, non-progressives, cannot even come to a consensus on our political leadership?
This is why we cannot have nice things.
My theory is there is going to be something nice coming out of this when it's all over.
But we're going to get there, Master Mulrubius, because there is what to talk about with McCarthy, what to talk about with Peterson, what to talk about with something else.
And then we're going to have...
George Alexopoulos, speaking of conservatives, conservative cartoonist, coming on to talk about, I don't know, life as a conservative cartoonist and everything that's going on in the world right now.
Superchats.
Lightgiver, Viva.
I don't know if you can get this in Florida, but you need to watch the documentary, Living Proof.
That is all I'm going to say.
Important documentary from Canada.
Done.
I'll see what I can...
I'm sure I can find it here.
Theophrastus3.0 says, Meh.
It's three Kings Day throughout Latin America and elsewhere.
That's all it is.
There were over 100 far more damaging leftist riots in 2020.
Because it's January 6th, people.
The two-year anniversary of the day that changed America.
Politically.
The political...
It's a political...
I don't want to say fabrication.
It's a political manipulation.
And it's atrocious.
Rizzy Ability.
I'm an idiot.
Rizzy Ability says, to be heard today by SCOTUS, Brunson v.
Alabama.
Oh, we're going to see.
Barnes said, no chance.
I think, if I'm thinking of Brunson.
Please look it up.
I'm fairly certain, Rizzy, we've talked about Brunson.
And I'm fairly certain we've talked about Brunson.
And Barnes says, no go.
Good marketing, bad case.
We'll see.
What do we want to start with?
Before we go to locals, we've done the most important thing, which is the correction, and everybody should know that SolnataMD did not tweet that original tweet.
And by the way, the evidence is that the tweet was actually too long for the character limit of Twitter.
Some people said that's no evidence at all because there's a workaround.
Whatever.
I think the moral of the story, my goodness, if there had just been a pinned comment and a tweet saying, this is fake, leave me alone, my goodness, would that have gotten...
Do we want to start with January 6th or do we want to start with McCarthy?
No?
No?
You know what?
Forget it.
We're going to start with Jordan Peterson.
So all of you know, it's so amazing in the worst possible way.
Amazing might not be the right word.
You all know of Jordan Peterson.
That noise was my phone on the table.
Am I going in and out of focus?
I think I am because of the stupid thing behind me.
Chad, am I going out of focus?
Let me know in the chat if I'm going in out of focus.
And if I am, I'm just going to move out of the way.
But I think that will be good.
But nature lover, I have indecision.
We're going to start with Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson, some of you may know him from back in the day.
Took a lot of flack back in the day for sounding the alarm on Bill C-16, which would lead to compelled speech for gender identity and gender expression being amended into the criminal code for, among other reasons, aggravating factors in hate crimes.
Well, he's back in the news.
I mean, recently he got booted from Twitter under old administration for referring to...
What's the actor's name?
Elliot Page as whatever Elliot's original name was.
For dead naming Page and for referring to the doctor that removed Page's breasts as a criminal doctor.
Got booted.
Said, I'll die before I delete that tweet and you guys can meet me and I'll see you from heaven in hell.
He's in trouble again in Canada because we're going to get to it.
In Communist Canada, the media holds citizens accountable to the government and not the government accountable to the citizens.
Let me pull up the article.
The Campaign to Re-Educate Jordan Peterson.
Wall Street Journal Opinion.
The Campaign to Re-Elect Jordan Peterson.
You're going to find out what happened here.
For speaking his mind, the psychologist could lose his license.
I do wonder to what extent Jordan Peterson even uses his license anymore.
I doubt he does and might keep it as an act of defiance.
As I am currently doing with my law license because I don't really have that many active files and maybe one day I'll want to return to the practice.
You would think Canadians had learned by now not to tell Jordan Peterson what to do.
The psychology professor became an internet sensation in 2016 after arguing that...
Oh.
Yeah, okay.
After arguing that Canadian legislation amounted to compelled speech and gender pronouns.
Now the College of Psychologists of Ontario is demanding that Peterson acknowledged he, quote, lacked professionalism in public statements and undergo a coaching program of remedial education.
I was thinking of this the other day, by the way.
Let me just pull this out for one second, then we're going to come back to it.
I was thinking of this the other day when...
Where was I?
I was exercising, that's right, and watching the television, and I saw an ad with Neil Patrick Harris.
And I'm like, this is an ad for, not DoorDash, but one of those food delivery things.
I'm like, do people know who Neil Patrick Harris is?
Like, yeah, he's in How I Met Your Mother.
Neil Patrick Harris, and I'm not saying this in any attempt, disguised, veiled, or otherwise, to cancel Neil Patrick Harris.
I like him as an actor, as a comedian.
Neil Patrick Harris has been involved in some of the most foul, offensive comedy acting imaginable.
You know, doing cocaine off hooker's bums in a speeding car while releasing fluid onto Harold and Kumar in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.
The second one was even worse.
Edgy, offensive, nasty comedy.
And now he's out there doing family commercials for, you know...
Sweet granny and mom and pops products.
And I'm thinking like, do they not know of his acting history?
Do they not know of his comedic history?
I suspect they do.
And I suspect they don't care because one draws a distinction between acting and, I guess, sponsorships at large.
But imagine thinking like, okay, you could do cocaine off a hooker's bum while driving, speeding, and then releasing bottle of fluids.
On to on-goers.
That's cool, but if you make some edgy tweets that people don't like, not in the context of your practice, you should lose your license or submit to re-education.
It has nothing to do with the substance of the thought.
It has to do with the identity and political orientation of the interlocutor or the speaker.
And that's what weaponizing idea, ideology, and speech and thought itself means.
Jordan Peterson said things that people don't like.
He was not out there calling for violence.
He was never out there promoting crimes, committing crimes, or even harassing in the broadest of senses.
He's a man, an educated man, speaking his mind unabashedly.
And, oh no, no, no, no.
You can't say that Elliot Page, she committed a sin by being proud of...
Her decisions?
You can't call doctors who, according to some people's legitimate beliefs, mutilated otherwise healthy body parts.
Of an adult, I'm prepared to let adults do what they want.
There are those who believe that do no harm applies to a doctor even when the adult says do harm to me.
But okay.
But no, no.
Calling the doctor criminal.
Let's go after his license because that's how it works, right?
When you want to punish someone, you go after their...
You go after their remuneration.
You go after their license.
You go after their public persona.
You go after their very existence.
It's a form of public execution, and people should appreciate that.
The College of Psychologists, the governing body in Ontario, appointed an investigator.
They have nothing better to do, by the way.
You don't have actual psychologists actually committing malpractice during their actual practice.
No, this is what you've got to go after, social media comments.
To examine complaints about Mr. Peterson's comments on Twitter and the popular Joe Rogan podcast.
On November 22nd, the college's panel released a decision.
Per images provided by Mr. Peterson, the panel ruled, the comments at issue appear to undermine the public trust in the profession as a whole?
According to whom?
And raise questions about your ability to carry out your responsibilities as a psychologist?
According to whom?
What better way to compromise someone's ability to Carry out their responsibilities as a psychologist than to subordinate their own thought and practice itself to the college, to superiors.
What are these comments?
Calling Elliot Page the transgender actor by his former name, Ellen.
Oh my goodness.
And the pronoun her.
Can you imagine the absolute insanity of this?
When you want to refer to Page as the actress, Who played a pregnant young person in Juno?
You've got to say Elliot Page, in his acting career, played a pregnant woman?
It's preposterous.
And when Peterson was talking about compelled speech in 2016, it's the manifestation of compelled speech in 2023.
Holy cow.
Calling an advisor to Justin Trudeau a prick.
Oh my goodness, I made a joke the other day.
When is calling Justin Trudeau, a bad man, going to amount to hate speech in Canada?
Holy crabapples.
A sarcastic crack at anti-growth environmentalists for not caring that their energy policies lead to deaths of poor third-world children.
Calling a former client vindictive, objecting to a Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover of a plus-size model.
Sorry, not beautiful, and no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.
In Canada, even offenses begin with sorry.
In Canada, even offenses begin with sorry.
Oh, I get it.
It's okay.
Sorry.
The impact risk in this case is significant, the panel found, because the comments may cause harm.
To whom?
In what realm of causation could those comments cause harm?
Who would they cause harm to?
Overweight people?
Someone saying, I don't find overweight people attractive is going to cause harm to overweight people?
How about if they say, I don't find blondes attractive.
I don't find brunettes attractive.
I don't find big breasts attractive.
I don't find small breasts attractive.
Oh, my God.
Okay, it doesn't matter.
It counseled Peterson that coaching would help mitigate any risks to the public.
We're in an episode of The Simpsons, people.
Time for re-education, Homer.
The College of Psychologists declined to comment on the case, citing confidentiality.
Well, I'm pretty sure they might have waived some element of confidentiality, or at the very least, Jordan Peterson did.
Peterson responded sensibly.
Who exactly was harmed?
How, when, to what degree, and how was the harm measured?
He says there have been about a dozen formal complaints since 2017, each one demanding a formal reply.
One complainant cited Mr. Peterson's Twitter response to a critic worried about overpopulation.
You're free to leave at any point, Mr. Peterson thinks.
The investigations aren't about mitigating harm but preventing free expression and that the process is the punishment as it is.
Giving online detractors an effective way to badger him.
He's not wrong.
Professional bodies are supposed to ensure that practitioners are competent, not enforce political orthodoxies, or act as language police outside of the office.
Who is this?
Writing for the Washington...
Oh, this is the Wall Street Journal, not the Washington Compost.
Sorry.
For a second there, I thought I might have to reassess my assessment of the Washington Compost.
Law Society of Ontario had pushed back a mandatory diversity pledge for all lawyers until a members' revolt.
Oh, sorry.
This is actually interesting.
But that's the trend in Western Medical Association and beyond.
The Law Society of Ontario had pushed a mandatory diversity pledge for all lawyers until a member's revolt took over the board and nixed the pledge in 2019.
I remember that because my brother, lying advocacy on Twitter, was outraged by that.
As were we all.
Or I should say anyone with half a brain.
At the time, the Ontario lawyer objected.
To the ever-expanding mission to socially engineer the profession.
Sounds like an issue of id, ego, and superego.
You could ask a psychologist about it.
Let me bring something up here, actually.
Viva Fry Twitter, Bar Complaint Trudeau.
Viva Fry Twitter, Bar Complaint Trudeau.
Oh, no, sorry.
This is the YouTube video.
Let me see if I, I, I, oh, um, you know, It was euthanasia.
How do you spell it like that?
Okay, I'm sure I'll be able to find it.
that's youtube Where is it?
Oh, come on.
I had put out a tweet at Justin Trudeau.
Had killed...
Well, this was the joke that I put out the other day.
Justin Trudeau's a bad man.
And then jokingly retweeted, how long until this is hate speech in Canada?
I put out a tweet hyperbolically saying how Justin Trudeau, under the 2021 MAIDS program, Medical Assistance and Dying, killed over 10,000 Canadians in Canada.
Factually true.
Apparently, and this is, you know, I was public about this because I was allowed to be public about it.
Someone filed a complaint or asked for an investigation because that tweet was offensive.
And I said, it's, first of all, factually correct.
10,064 Canadians euthanized in Canada in 2021 to be determined how much more in 2022.
It's factually correct.
It's clearly hyperbolic because as I humorously pointed out in the correction retweet, someone filed a complaint about this tweet and I've been asked to clarify.
Let me clarify.
At no point was I seriously suggesting that Justin Trudeau personally and single-handedly killed 10,000 Canadians because at a Canadian an hour, that would take over a year.
The program, the government program.
In Canada has euthanized over 10,000 Canadians in 2021, over 3% of all deaths in Canada.
But people think, when they don't like what you say, on a social media platform, not in the context of exercising your profession, that what better way to punish you, punish your wrong think, than to go after your license?
Now Jordan Peterson is being...
All you have to do, Jordan, just...
They just go up in your brain and they pull out a little piece of it.
I mean, that's what Moe said on The Simpsons, right?
On that Treehouse of Horror episode when they all had to get lobotomies.
Homer had to go back to the rene education.
He says, oh, it's really not that bad.
And they let you keep a little piece of it.
That was Moe.
See if I can pull that clip up.
If anybody actually can follow, find the tweet and the correction, because I had it as my pinned tweet for a while to satisfy the complaint, who wanted clarification and correction.
Yes.
Justin Trudeau did not go around and administer medical assistance in dying to 10,064 Canadians.
It was only his administration which passed a law allowing for it that it happened.
Much like, you know, no dictator in history ever goes around and single-handedly carries out the atrocities.
28 minutes in.
28 minutes in?
Okay, I think it's time to move on over to Rumble because we're moving.
Oh, and I got Rumble rants that I didn't get to.
Before we go over to Rumble, let me read the Rumble rants.
We've got Kierdorf, $10 Rumble rant.
Any chance to check out Viva Frye?
They could use...
Okay, hold on.
What do I got here?
Oh, any chance to check that out, Viva Frye?
They could use your help, I think.
This is a Rumble link to what looks like the Brunson decision.
Kierdorf, let me...
I screen grabbed it already.
Let me see if I can get that.
First of all, thank you for the rumble rant.
$2 rumble rant from GMC65Viva.
Use shipping moving blankets over the frames.
They make pretty good sound booth.
And I'm the biggest idiot on earth.
Because for whatever the reason, because I'm stupid, I'm just illogical sometimes.
It never occurred to me to ask the folks at Locals.
I mean, we're on Locals.
I know the folks at Locals.
They have a beautiful studio at which I'm going to be doing in-person interviews starting next week, I think.
One of them wrote me, he's like, dude, if you're trying to soundproof, we can probably help at least connect you.
So it's going to happen.
The wheels are in motion, Jerry.
Okay, let's do it.
Let's move over to Rumble.
I'm going to get the link to Rumble.
It's in the pinned comment.
And then we're going to talk about McCarthy.
Here we go.
Rox Day Murray says, what's not offensive anymore?
You know, silence is offensive.
I guess it's an evolution.
I guess, you know, what's the point in having a mind if you don't change it?
Also, you know, maybe it's, I haven't changed, but the world around me has gone flipping crazy.
Enough is enough.
We will express ourselves, and we will express ourselves proudly and without shame, but respectfully, even when we disagree with what other people are saying.
Have a great stream.
Pleb the Reporter in the house.
You see?
Pleb the Reporter.
We did a stream last week and he's been having fun needling the Bernie brothers.
What does he call them?
The Bernier brothers?
The PPC bros?
Of which I consider myself to be one.
But yeah, he's a good guy.
And even though I disagree with his position on vote splitting and needling the PPC bros, it's still kind of funny.
To watch.
Okay, let's do it.
We are going to wind down on YouTube.
Ending on YouTube.
We're moving in 3, 2, 1. Now.
I think we're not alone now.
What do we got here?
Are we good?
Okay.
Booyah.
2,700 on Rumble.
Now Viva's watching it skyrocketing, so don't diss the YouTubers.
Now we're at 3,800.
And it's going up.
I love...
I'd much rather watch the numbers go up than go down.
From my experience on the market.
Okay.
Have I forgotten anything with Jordan Peterson?
If I can find that tweet, my humorous requested clarificatory, clarifying retweet, I'll do it.
You know what?
Salty Cracker just retweeted something.
Let's get to this.
It's January 6th.
It's the two-year anniversary of the darkest day in America.
If you're Adam Kinzinger, what's her face?
Liz Cheney.
Rob Reich tweets out, Rob, I don't make fun of his height for obvious reasons.
I'm not a tall man myself, but I don't believe in making fun of people for what they look like.
Can't help it.
And even if you could help it, not my thing.
I had no idea Rob Reich was shorter than me.
Let's leave it at that.
But he's got the most idiotic takes in the Twitterverse.
Like, they're so bad.
