Time Text
I would encourage the committee to vote no on this amendment for a few reasons: practical, financial, social, emotional.
First, there are a lot of schools that are moving towards gender-neutral bathrooms, and if we add female, we might become obsolete very quickly.
Second, not all students who menstruate are female.
We need to make sure that all students have access to these products.
There are obviously less non-female menstruating students, and therefore their usage will be much lower.
And that was actually calculated into the cost of this and how much we decided to fund it.
And so we do not expect that the non-female menstruating students will use these products as much as the students using female bathrooms, but it's important to have them there.
And that brings me to just the social-emotional reasons for that.
These students who are not female, who menstruate, face a greater stigma and barrier to asking for these products.
And so providing them in an easily accessible place in all student bathrooms is particularly important for those students.
Um, um, um.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
I want to get to the highlight of this.
I want to replay it a couple of times.
First, there are a lot of schools that are moving towards gender-neutral bathrooms.
Not this part.
By the way, got no problem with gender-neutral bathrooms.
Have one stall and gender-neutral bathrooms.
Solution.
One locking stall, gender-neutral bathrooms.
Female, we might become obsolete very quickly.
Second, not all students who menstruate are female.
Let me stop you there, Representative Sandra Feist.
What did she just say?
Second, not all students who menstruate are female.
Yes.
Yes.
All students who menstruate are female.
Let me be even more clear about that.
Men, despite the spelling of menstruate, men do not menstruate.
Period.
A man...
A biological male, a boy, might need a tampon from time to time if he breaks his nose.
It's an actual old first day trick.
You stick a tampon up the nose and apply pressure.
It absorbs the blood and prevents further bleeding.
Men do not menstruate.
Boys do not menstruate.
All people who menstruate are women.
There is some science.
Now, just, you know, not to...
Not to be accused of providing scientific disinformation.
There is some theorizing that men have monthly cyclical body functions, spiritual functions, emotional fluctuations, and that there is potentially such thing as a time of month for a male where cycles are on the up or on the down, where people feel a little depressed or they feel a little hyper.
There is no time of month.
For a biological male where they ovulate or release an egg from the male's vagina, that is known as menstruation or a period.
Full stop.
Trust the science.
I mean, I trust the science on this one.
No male menstruates, despite the spelling of menstruation, which I think is also a part of the patriarchy.
They should really call it womanstruation.
But then that would define, that would presume what a woman is.
So they might just want to call it struation.
Let's just call it struation from now on.
Men do not menstruate.
By the way, I don't know what the drafting of that resolution was that they were voting on.
All that I know is that that happened.
And we are institutionalizing insanity.
Period.
This is...
When it comes to whether or not you call someone by their preferred pronouns in discussion, someone says, call me Robin and don't call me Steven.
All right.
You know, a name is a name.
A rose by any other name is still a male or a female, biologically speaking.
But this idea of having to say that people get pregnant and we're going to refer to them as birthing persons.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's that's you know what?
Trust the science.
Trust the science to identify who is actually suffering from a diagnosable form of some mental illness, and I say this with full sensitivity to what it means.
Trust the science as to who is living delusions, who is promoting anti-science, and fundamentally misogynistic perspectives of what it means to be a woman.
It means nothing.
Women aren't the only people that can give birth.
Women aren't the only people that can menstruate.
It means nothing to be a woman other than saying you identify as a woman.
That's misogyny.
That feels a little better, actually.
I was gonna start with...
I said we're either gonna start with a gag intro or a gag as in you're gonna gag.
Justin Trudeau, we're gonna get there.
Or you're gonna get enraged.
We're there.
The...
Inmates have taken over the prison.
What is it?
The patients have taken over the asylum.
At some point, enough is enough, and you can tolerate people's decisions to do whatever they want to their bodies.
You can even respect, honor, allow them to do what they want to do with their bodies.
The second they start telling you what to do with your mouth and what to do with your brain and to suspend disbelief and to defy language and biology...
Well, that's where one person's freedom becomes a form of psychological and intellectual oppression.
Excuse me.
Good morning.
No, it's not morning.
It is morning.
Good morning.
Good morning to everyone.
Never eat shredded wheat.
West of Nova Scotia, because I believe it is actually afternoon Nova Scotia.
Holy crab apples.
Did I go down a rabbit hole this morning?
I went down one rabbit hole.
Ended up in another rabbit hole, and then sure enough, I'm watching some dude shaving hoofs off cows in a farm in Scotland and the abscess drainage.
Well, don't ask how I got there.
The one rabbit hole that I started off on was, what the heck is going on with Steven Crowder?
That led me to Alex Stein, because Alex Stein is coming onto the blaze, and some people are hypothesizing that, you know, Alex in, Crowder out, market preserved.
Then that got me into Alex Stein on Alex Jones last night.
Alex Stein was on Alex Jones, did an interview.
Then that got me into Andy Callahan because Andy Callahan was mentioned during the interview.
And I'm like, who's an ass?
Who's an AH that records someone going to the bathroom?
Because that was the anecdote that Alex Jones said.
Then I go down the rabbit hole of Alex and Andy, Andrew Callahan.
And then I find out that sure enough, the guy who did that documentary on Q Kids.
It's now accused of sexual misconduct and have made a four-minute video on Instagram apologizing for it.
Then I was trying to find the tweet that I put out once upon a time about that documentary that Andy Callahan put out where I called it Child Exploitation.
I couldn't find the tweet.
But that's the rabbit hole that I went on from Steven Crowder to Andy Callahan.
Oh, but we've got a, I say, a good show today.
I still have difficulty wrapping my head around the fact that...
What I do ranting into a camera in my home office studio is a show.
We've got interesting stuff to talk about today.
Holy crab apples.
Let me catch my breath.
What are we talking about today?
Steven Crowder, Jordan Peterson, Greta Thunberg, and a bunch of other stuff.
We're going to get into the gagging video.
We're going to get into the gagging video after I thank my sponsor and promote my sponsor, who I...
Hold on one second.
Seem to have closed their window.
No, here it is.
We're going to get into the discussion about this, the difference.
People, so much to talk about today.
I took notes.
Hold on.
We're going to get into the difference between grift versus work.
The contract that I think we saw, the redacted contract that we saw, what's his name?
We're going to get into the difference between grift and work.
And while I know some people are going to call me a grifter because I actually have sponsors and they're going to potentially accuse me of curating my content, toning it down to please sponsors, horse plop.
I don't swear just because I don't actually like swearing.
And when I do swear, I seem to shock the ears of some of my subs.
And we're going to get into the idea that having an audience is as much of a potential compromising of...
Purity of thought as having a sponsor.
We'll get into all of that discussion because it's very interesting.
People don't seem to appreciate these nuances.
But first, as you came into the stream, you probably noticed it said contains a paid sponsor because it does.
Because I am at that fortunate stage of the interwebs where I actually have sponsors and I'm at that fortunate stage where I can say no to Bitcoin sponsors and certain sponsors that I don't feel comfortable even talking about, let alone promoting.
To the people who watch this channel, I'm fortunate enough to be able to pick and choose.
You know the sponsors that I use or products that I use.
I don't have as much gold as I would like to have.
It would be nice to be able to own gold or more gold, but if you're going to own something in these volatile times where you have governments across the world printing cash, inflation through the roof, and how do you save the money that you've worked hard to make?
I bought some Tesla last week, so while everyone's complaining that Tesla's at an all-time low, I got it at 10% ago, but not very much of it.
It's easy to make money.
It's hard to make money.
Easy and hard.
Just work hard.
Be good.
You'll make money.
How do you keep your money?
How do you keep your money when, through no fault of your own, you can sit on $100 in the bank, and next month it'll be worth $92.
And if you're next month under...
What's his face?
Biden.
It could be worth $86.
A flipping...
12 pack of eggs.
Do we call them that?
A dozen eggs.
Six bucks now.
The best way, hey, this has proven time and time again.
Gold, precious metals.
Birch, you're buying gold.
It's not like you get 99.999 better gold from Birch versus other platforms.
Gold is gold, and you're going to be getting a certain quality gold, and it's going to be mint gold.
You're getting involved with a service, and some services are better than others, and Birch gold.
AAA rated by the Better Bureau of Business.
You know, it's a quality company.
Rand Paul.
You see him right there, people.
I'm in good company.
Rand Paul is there.
What better way to at least try to preserve and maybe, maybe even grow the money that you've made by buying gold.
Birch Gold, they have these things where you can roll your 401k into precious metals.
It's a fantastic service.
Gold has stood the test of time for a reason.
And one day I'd like to own gold.
I own a silver tetradrachma.
It's a beautiful coin.
But birchgold.com slash Viva.
And you'll get a free intro kit and you can see what they have to offer the services.
They can roll investments into precious metals.
You can buy a nice gold coin.
And like the Israelites in the desert, you can worship and idolize the gold token in your hands.
But at the end of the day...
It has proven to be the best investment over time.
It might not go up 10x overnight, but it certainly won't go down 10x overnight.
And you will consistently hedge your bets against volatile times and inflation.
Stack, but don't worship.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, people.
I know some of you have seen it already.
This is my favorite coin.
It's actually like my most preciousest coin.
This is a legit tetradrachma, Roman times, pure silver.
If it were gold, it would be beautiful and heavy and wonderful.
This is holding a piece of history.
When you hold gold, you're holding a piece of investment.
Russell Brand is selling gold and silver to Jar Jar Sphinx.
Well, it's an easy thing to sell.
You just have to have enough money to buy it.
And then Birch Gold can offer options.
You don't have to buy one ounce things.
You don't have to buy $10,000 worth.
You can buy a little quarter ounce and sit on it.
Or if you're a...
What's his name?
Calhoun from Pulp Fiction.
You can hide it in crevasses.
If that coin could talk.
Man, it's amazing.
When I bought this coin, it was $400 back in 2010, give or take.
And it's worth less now because, like I said before, the more stashes that they find of gold...
You're not supposed to drop them.
You're supposed to handle them.
Did I just damage it?
I didn't.
These don't necessarily appreciate in value for their rarity because they become less rare over time.
It's just one of the things.
Unless you get like a mint quality one or from a special, what do they call them?
A special mint at the time.
Rare for whatever reason, but they depreciate over time.
But my goodness, holding a piece of history.
Okay.
A woman cry.
Son of a gun.
See, I should have kept it in this little plastic case.
All right, people.
Birchgold.com slash Viva.
Intro kit, and you'll be able to invest your money and hopefully not lose the money that you've worked hard to get.
Of course, if you buy eggs, gold is now so valuable that a pound of gold is worth as much as 16 ounces.
I get jokes.
At one point, a dozen eggs is going to be a wise investment.
Just hold on to it for a bit and sell it off for six bucks an egg.
That's investment right there.
Okay.
Thanks to the sponsor.
Link will be in the pinned comment on both.
I think I may have forgotten to post it now.
But to the show, people.
To the show.
Although that was part of the show.
My fancy coin.
To the show.
Peterson.
So you know that Jordan Peterson has now been under fire.
Not under the radar.
He's been under the microscope, under the magnifying glass, under fire.
Because of mean tweets.
Tweets that some people say are undignified of the profession of psychologists of Ontario.
One in which he referred to Elliot Page as Ellen Page, referred to Ellen Page as a her, where Ellen Page's first major role in a movie was playing the role of an underage pregnant girl who carried a baby to term.
We are now...
According to Wikipedia, expected to refer to Ellen Page as Elliot Page, and that being her first breakout role as his first breakout role as a pregnant woman.
Jordan Peterson took issue with the prohibition on what they call dead naming.
And this follows Jordan Peterson raising the alarm on Bill C-16 in Canada, adding gender identity and gender expression to the criminal code.
He also referred to the double mastectomy that Page underwent as cutting off the healthy breasts by a criminal doctor.
That's one of the tweets, I think, that might have gotten him in trouble.
There was another tweet in which his interlocutor was lamenting the woes and dangers of overpopulation, and Jordan Peterson glibly replied, you're free to leave.
That, according to the National Post article and the complaint that Jordan Peterson made public, was encouraging one to commit suicide.
It was encouraging one to self-harm, to suggest you're free to leave if you think there's a problem of overpopulation.
And what did he mean by that?
He might have meant go to Mars, for all anybody knows.
But I think the more appropriate, the more probable recommendation was not to harm yourself, but appreciate the hypocrisy in your position.
You say there's a problem, and you're not willing to follow through on the obvious solution.
So someone has filed a number of complaints to the board of, you know, whatever, of psychologists, the Order of Psychologists in Ontario.
Jordan Peterson has been invited to participate in re-education camp about social media etiquette.
When engaging with people on the interwebs who purport to be transsexual or have transitioned, Mr. Jordan Peterson, the government of Canada would like you to know that you must not refer to them.
You're not allowed.
Proper etiquette of a professional who wants to maintain their license is you cannot deadname them and you cannot insist that you have the right to speak the words that you choose to speak contrary to the demands of another person telling you what words can come out of your mouth.
Okay.
Well, Jordan Peterson is having none of it for obvious reasons.
He doesn't strike me as being the type of person that will bend over for ideological reasons.
And so he's fighting that publicly.
What's happening in the meantime is he's still continuing to do speaking tours by the looks of it.
And people are calling for the boycott or the cancellation of the areas to which he's going to do his speaking gigs.
One example of it, and this is another rabbit hole that I happily went down, this entity, can we see what we're looking at here?
We do.
This entity, wisdom to action, the audacity, the intellectual shamelessness, it requires to call yourself wisdom to action when what you actually are is fascism to action.
I mean, it's fantastic.
It's like all of those liberation armies that call themselves, you know, democratic people's armies and they go around slaughtering people or the most communist tyrannical regimes calling the people's republic or the people's democracy of.
And you know, they're not just anything but, but the exact opposite.
Kind of like Harvey Weinstein donating to women's causes while dot, dot, dot.
Well, wisdom to action.
Or as they shall now forever be known.
Fascism to action.
Or just fascists to action.
Put this tweet out.
And then locked their replies.
Wisdom to action.
At wisdom to action.
Alongside our partners.
I'd like to know who those are.
We are calling on, I think that's the Canadian Tire Centre, to cancel Jordan Peterson's event taking place in Ottawa on January 3rd.
We are calling on a third party to cancel their contract.
With another third party, a contract to which we are not a party.
Cancel it.
Why?
Well, that's interference with contracts.
The only question is whether or not it's tortious interference with contracts.
Wisdom to Action, and we're going to get to them, are calling on the Canadian Tire Centre to cancel a contract that they willingly and knowingly entered into, presumably in full awareness of fact and law with Jordan Peterson.
Okay, good.
Why?
Jordan Peterson's rhetoric is racist.
Here's where they might have had a lawyer draft this.
They're not saying Peterson is racist.
They're saying his rhetoric is racist, transphobic, and misogynistic.
His bigotry has no place in our society.
In our city, sorry.
Does everybody appreciate?
Look up bigotry.
Are you going to see this?
No, you don't see it.
Okay, I'm looking up bigotry.
Because people throw the term around, and the people throwing around the term bigotry are the textbook bigots.
I'm reading it.
You can't see it.
I've highlighted the word, and I've looked it up, and you can all do it in real time.
Bigotry.
Noun.
I thought it was an adjective.
No, bigotry.
So bigot would...
No, hold on.
Like a...
Yeah, so it's a noun.
Bigotry noun.
Obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
Intolerance.
It's so amazing.
Obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief.
against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
What wisdom to action is promoting here is itself bigotry.
I think Jordan Peterson considers himself to be conservative.
I think he considers the idea of saying boys are boys, girls are girls, and you might have some scientific anomalies somewhere in there as not exceptions to the rule, but rather other rules that are generally regarded as medical anomalies or medical conditions.
I think Jordan Peterson would say, these are my conservative beliefs.
Wisdom to action is saying, no, no, no.
I don't tolerate your beliefs.
I am obstinately against them, and I want to cause prejudice to you based on your membership to a group.
Wisdom to action are the bigots.
Period.
People saying you can't say things because it upsets my ears are the bigots.
They're the ideologues.
They are the demagogues.
That might not be the right word.
Wisdom to Action is calling for the interference with a contract between Jordan Peterson or his company or whatever, the promotion company, and Canadian Tire Centre, to which they're not a party, on the basis of arguably, but not so arguably, defamatory statements.
Um...
Thank you.
Hold on, I saw a strawman argument here, which I'm going to get to in a second.
Arguably, but not so arguably.
Calling someone or their rhetoric racist, which might be the weasel out wiggle room there.
Do we all remember the Oberlin case?
Gibson's Bakery versus Oberlin.
Oberlin called Gibson's Bakery racist, alleged they had a long history of racism, and then encouraged people to boycott Gibson's Bakery, then interfered with Gibson Bakery's contracts.
And they were ordered to pay tens of millions of dollars because they...
Effectively put Gibson's Bakery out of business for a little while.
I think they're back in business now after getting $40 million judgment.
A business that had been on the Oberlin premises for over 100 years.
Lies for the purposes of interfering with contracts, business perspective, business relations.
So calling someone racist, a bigot, a transphobe, whatever, it can get you into trouble even in the United States, which has much more robust First Amendment protections.
Robust First Amendment protections, which don't include the right to defame and don't include the right to, using your words, encourage others to interfere with your business contracts.
So whether or not this gets there, someone had asked me, Viva, on Twitter, is this defamatory?
It's getting close.
Oh, by the way, hashtag, no legal advice, no medical advice, no election fornication advice in this stream.
We're getting close.
Say, oh, it's not, I didn't call Jordan Peterson a bigot.
Or racist.
I called his rhetoric racist.
I'd like to see an example of racist rhetoric from Jordan Peterson.
Transphobic?
I don't agree with it, but I know what examples you're going to give, and I understand how some people are going to call that transphobic.
Apparently saying boys are boys, girls are girls, and men don't menstruate is transphobic.
You could say, respect the rights of trans people.
Left, right, and center.
Their rights mean their liberty to do what they want with their bodies, not to live under...
Discrimination.
That's not enough.
No.
In order to not be called a transphobe, you have to allow people to tell you what words to say when referring to other people in their absence.
So transphobe, fine.
Racist, show me the proof.
Misogynistic?
Misogynistic.
Anyhow, I'd like to see the evidence.
I don't think it exists.
And they're trying to interfere with his contract to get him to get...
Canadian Tire Centre to cancel under the pressure of boycott, whatever.
And you know, you also know damn well when the left talks about dog whistles, although maybe I'm reaching here and I'll appreciate if some people think I am, this is a dog whistle.
And they know the actors that are going to come out now and start making threats against the Canadian Tire Centre.
You know, threats of protest, threats of violence, where it might be the cheaper of the alternatives for Canadian Tire.
To cancel their engagement with Jordan Peterson, to avoid potential property damage, to avoid whatever.
You talk about dog whistles.
These are calls to protest, calls to boycott.
Sorry, it's not a call to protest.
Calls to boycott translate very quickly into call-in threats, show up, threaten to destroy property, threaten arson like they've done with other people.
Okay.
If you thought that's where it ended, it gets even better.
Wisdom to action.
I will give credit.
I see rumorings and floatings and screen grabs on the internet.
Yeah, or someone said, DeViva Frye, is this not defamation?
And they said, borderline.
Borderline in the States.
And I'm referring to Oberlin.
Upheld on appeal.
In Canada, I think this is easily actionable.
We have, you know, we have...
They say defamation lawsuits are far easier to prevail on.
In Canada, in the UK, than in the US.
But who is wisdom to action?
Just, you know, it's just some think tank.
Just some, what do they call them?
Consulting firm.
Just some consulting firm.
It's just a random consulting firm, right?
There we go.
Lookie, lookie, lookie.
This was not my discovery.
I just had to verify the information before I repeated it.
Hold on, I'm going to cough.
This was not my discovery.
I just saw in response, hey, they're getting paid $900,000.
They got $900,000 from the federal government.
But hey, once bitten, twice shy, third time traumatized.
It hasn't gotten to the third time, but I'm traumatized off the second try.
So I see a screen grab.
I go around looking.
And lo and behold, Yahoo News, not the most reliable source.
I have since found someone who tweeted this out earlier with a better source.
Yahoo News.
Government of Canada announces funding to youth organizations on International Youth Day.
That's very nice, Government of Canada.
Thank you for taking our tax dollars, which you've taken so many of out of our back pockets, arguably under duress, after having deprived us of peaceful enjoyment of our property for the last three years.
But go ahead and tax us.
Young Canadians are integral to Canada's present and future success.
I'm sorry, what the hell is this?
Is this a government press release in Yahoo?
Young Canadians are integral to Canada's present and future success as they are the leaders of today and tomorrow.
This is news from...
This is...
This is...
Get the government boot and lick it is what this is, Yahoo!
Youth organizations in Canada are undertaking important work such as amplifying youth voices and advocating for gender equality.
This is supposed to be news.
Okay, today the Honourable Marchi Yen Marchi Yen, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, announced over $2 million in funding for programs aimed at supporting youth on International Youth Day.
That's a lot of money.
$2 million.
My goodness, look at who got the bulk of that.
Wisdom to Action Consulting Limited.
My first neurotic thought, maybe this is a different wisdom to action.
Maybe this is another shell of a company.
Hey, look.
If my mistake in all of this, that Twitter handle is not related.
Is Wisdom2Action on Twitter not related to Wisdom2ActionConsultingLimited?
Because that's Wisdom2ActionLimited or Wisdom2ActionLLC or Wisdom2ActionInc.
Wisdom2ActionConsultingLimited is receiving nearly $1 million of that $2 million for a 36-month project that will address the capacity needs of 2SLGBTQ+.
Once you've added the plus, why isn't it just LBGTQ plus?
Like, you've gotten the plus which encompasses what?
What's not included in there that the plus refers to?
I know what some people are thinking, and I'm wondering if it's the case as well.
What does the plus include that's not already in the two-spirit lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer?
What's left in there?
Organizations and youth-serving organizations.
This funding will build capacity to support 2SLGBTQ+ youth who are experiencing gender-based violence and support the creation of public education campaigns that raise awareness about violence faced by 2SLGBTQ+ youth.
All the other youth violence?
Well, get your own organizations.
Wisdom to Action is receiving nearly $1 million from the federal government, from Justin Trudeau's federal government, while they...
Publicly, I mean, I guess someone got paid for that tweet.
In a sense, whether or not any dollar of that million went towards that tweet, or it's just the owner on the toilet deciding what would be a good tweet.
None of that million dollars from the federal government to persecute and potentially defame and potentially interfere with the contracts of a Canadian citizen while he's under fire from another government entity, the Order.
None of it went to that, so don't ask any questions.
I'm just going to go back to the tweet of wisdom to action to see if it's the same thing.
I'm going to see here.
Wisdom to action.
Wisdom.
I'll just go here.
Wisdom to action.
I've been blocked.
I haven't been blocked.
We are a consulting firm and social media enterprise facilitating change and strengthen the communities.
We work on 2SLGBTQ plus issues, GBV, mental health, and more.
I think I asked this to locals yesterday, by the way.
What does GBV mean?
I should have looked it up, but it says, we work on two SLGBTQ plus issues.
GBV.
I'm trying to guess what GBV can mean without looking at the chat.
Gender binary something?
Anyone in the chat, I'm looking there.
I want to see this GBV before I have to Google it.
Nope, that's not what it stands for.
I'm not even reading these.
Gender-based violence.
Okay, fine.
Gender-based violence.
Thank you very much.
That makes sense.
Yeah, so just that little entity trying to cancel in the actual sense of the word, mobilize citizens against another citizen for exercising free speech, subsidized by the government.
But I did want to give credit to the first...
Someone said in a response to that...
You're going to give credit to...
I don't want to miss up the name.
Let me just get the name of the account that found a better source.
Here, hold on.
We'll do this in real time together.
But there's someone who actually found it earlier and got a better source than Yahoo News.
Here, let's go to this one.
Who was it?
Oh, Randy.
The real Andy Lee show.
She got it yesterday and she got...
You know, the better contract, which is the Government of Canada website.
I feel comfortable enough when I find it on Yahoo that I, you know, I'm satisfied with that.
But the real Andy Lee show was a day early and had a better source than Yahoo News.
But at the end of the day, knowledge is the gift that you can't take back.
And I don't think I saw it from Andy Lee.
I saw it in a screen grab in replies to my original retweet, which is where I started looking.
That's it.
Now we all know.
And it doesn't matter where that gift came from.
It's yours and no one can take it back.
Okay.
That might be an opportune time to mosey on over to the Rumble's exclusive.
I realize I didn't put the link to Rumble in the pinned comment.
Yeah, I went down.
Too many rabbit holes this morning that I seem to have forgotten.
Link to Rumble, people.
Let's do it now.
Oomshakalaka.
Oh, the chat is moving fast.
Okay, hold on.
Did I not put slow mode on?
Link.
Rumble.
I'm going to pin it.
Enter.
And now I'm going to pin it so that everybody can get to it when you come back here.
And we're going to go to Rumble.
And before we go to Rumble, sponsor, birchgold.com slash birch.
B-I-R-C-H.
Is it birch gold or birch?
It's birchgold.com forward slash Viva.
Thank you for sponsoring the hinged, fringed minority holding unacceptable views.
And now we're going to get into the discussion about sponsors, grifting versus grafting versus working.
And then we're going to get into, oh my goodness, the louder with Crowder, Stephen Crowder stuff.
Everybody, let us mosey on over to the Rumbles.
And I'm going to end this on YouTube.
Mosey on over to Rumble.
After the super chat, which I missed, seize the day, keep trucking Viva, dance, dance, and rumble.
And now that I'm asking the question, have we been demonetized on YouTube yet?
Not that I care.
Because I don't.
I'm just curious.
Oh, usually when I play any video of Justin Trudeau, auto-demonetized, his voice triggers something in the algorithm, we're good.
It's 30 minutes on YouTube.
It's just a question of principle.
Seize of the day, thank you very much.
And let me bring this up actually before we go.
Wonderbucket, so according to that definition, you can be called a bigot if you are against Nazis.
I think you could be called a bigot for being against Nazis.
I think there is a certain moral lack of justification in the traditional employment usage of the term bigot.
As in it's unjustified or discriminatory.
But then even discriminatory, yeah, I discriminate against Nazis because I won't hire a Nazi.
Okay, fine.
I think in the technical sense, that would be a form of bigotry.
It would just be one that people might consider justified.
Or they would say, no, infused in the definition of bigotry has to be lack of justification.
Although that's going to get very relative very fast.
So I want to fly that and get to it so I can address the steel manning of the opposing argument.
All right, good.
I see the numbers going down on Rumble, so that's a good sign.
Everybody!
Not numbers going down on Rumble.
My God, I'm senile.
The numbers are going down on YouTube.
Let us go over to Rumble in 3, 2, 1. Now.
All righty.
Booyakasha.
While everyone comes into Rumble, let me see here, let's see if I missed anything.
Refresh, and we're good.
Okay.
Have I missed any Rumble rants?
I haven't missed any Rumble rants, and while everyone trickles in also, while I'm good at pitching other people's products, hold on, I'm wearing my favorite shirt today, vivafry.com.
If anybody's looking for merch for, I don't know, Valentine's Day?
VivaFried.com if you want to get any of our merch.
Barnes, Viva Barnes University, hashtag not a university.
We'll be wild.
The three words that are inciting violence according to the January 6th committee.
January 6th protest on the Hill will be wild.
Oh.
There should have been a kangaroo on that shirt, but no, we're not the kangaroo court.
We're just judging the kangaroo court.
So Viva Fry, if you want to get any merch, I'm not good at pitching my own merch, but I love this shirt.
Viva Fry, live free.
All right.
Grifting versus working.
This is all going to segue into Stephen Crowder because Stephen Crowder announced, for those who don't know, December...
It was in December.
That he's leaving the Blaze.
He's not renewing his contract with the Blaze.
Mug Club, Lauder with Crowder, was on the Blaze.
A lot of people were saying in response to that video that the only reason they ever watched the Blaze or were on the Blaze or supported the Blaze was to support Steven Crowder because that's their main man.
They were not on the Blaze for Glenn Beck.
They were there for Steven Crowder.
He announced that he's not renewing his contract with the Blaze.
And yesterday...
Put out a video, which I watched thoroughly and then watched a number of responses to, in which he's launching something called Stop the Con on the basis that some entities on the conservative side of the media are just as exploitive and just as in bed with big tech and social media for the purposes of censorship and controlling the public discussion that they are equally as culpable.
So we're going to get there in a second.
I watched Sticks Hexenhammer, his response to the video.
And the underlying issue in all of this is when does someone's voice become compromised?
When does someone become beholden to their advertisers?
When does someone's voice become beholden to their supporters?
And people use a term grift inappropriately to either simultaneously refer to genuine grifting, genuine grafting, which is actually British talk for hard work.
They use it to confuse with selling out.
And those are the three concepts, I think, that come into play here.
Getting sponsorships is a tricky thing.
People think once you get a sponsorship, they have a say in your content, in the manner in which you express yourself.
And to some extent, there are many sponsors who do.
There are some sponsors who say, stick to the script.
And don't put me in a show where you're talking about trans ideology.
Don't put me in that show.
Put me in a show where you're talking about something that's fun to talk about, something that's popular to rag against, like Joe Biden's classified document scandal.
Put me in those shows.
And then what ends up happening is people are going to say, well, if I don't get a sponsor for that show, then I'm not going to cover it.
I'm going to go soft censorship to cover.
The shows that I can then monetize through sponsorship.
So I'll stop talking about the trans stuff and I'll start talking about the Biden stuff.
And then lo and behold, the individual's voice and thought itself has been corrupted.
It's a real risk.
And it's not everybody who has the liberty of saying, I don't want to work with that sponsor.
And if you impose those limits on me, then I can't do it anyhow because A, I don't want to.
B, I don't like it.
And C, it's not going to resonate well anyhow because My audience is going to know it.
My audience is going to see it.
And they're going to judge me and the product accordingly.
So I'm fortunate in that sense.
I'm also fortunate in that anybody who tells me what I can and can't say, I'll probably be more inclined to say it.
But it happens.
And it happens to creators who are not sufficiently independent or who sell out.
But now, selling out means...
You've sold your soul for financial gain.
Grifting, in the traditional definition, means you are creating a conflict to then exploit the conflict.
And that would be like, I don't want to name anyone who I think is a bona fide grifter, but people who try to provoke racial disagreement over incidents that are not themselves or may have an underlying other explanation so they can then monetize it in the content creation sense.
Grifting is not finding problems and then reporting on them.
That's called journalism, to some extent, or commentary.
So grifting, by the truest of definition, is creating the fight, creating the drama, so that you can then monetize the drama.
It's not reporting off politics.
Grafting is just hard work.
People work, they're entitled to get paid for the work that they do.
Nobody works for free, and you will be no more reliable a source if you work for free than if you expect to get paid for the work that you do.
Okay.
With that parentheses out of the way, Stephen Crowder is leaving the blaze.
We don't know why he assures us it's...
No, that's my shirt.
Get that out of there.
I didn't do that on purpose.
Get out of there.
He assures us it's mutual.
There's no hard feelings.
Like he said, he wished the statement might have been...
What's the word?
What's the word I'm looking for here?
Not a mutual statement, but simultaneous, a joint statement.
Sorry.
He preferred it would have been a joint statement.
It's not a joint statement.
There might be some issues.
I mean, bottom line, the only reason for which Crowder would not renew with the Blaze is because it's not as much as he wants and or it's more than what the Blaze wants.
Or the Blaze has found what they think will be a longer-term replacement.
For Steven Crowder.
And there's people hypothesizing that it's Alex Stein who is signing with the Blaze.
And people are saying, okay, look, whatever market they might have lost had Crowder just left on his own, we'll be satisfied with Alex Stein.
These are business decisions.
They're not really anybody's business.
Except for the people involved and whether or not it makes financial sense.
I think the Blaze is going to find that they're going to lose a lot more by virtue of having lost Crowder.
The only question is going to be...
Like that calculation that Tyler Durden made in the airplane with Ed Norton in Fight Club.
Do the math.
At the end of the day, whichever one is the more profitable long-term is the one that the business is going to make.
So that's one side of the drama.
Don't really need to get into it.
But while I have the pause, I'm going to read a $25 rumble rant from SSJ to Rich.
Everyone...
The whole contract is exploited, but we're going to get to that in a second.
The whole contract is exploited, but contracts, boilerplate template contracts typically are going to be very one-sided.
They're to some extent contracts of adhesion with people who don't have the clout or the Equity to negotiate.
And some people are just also very happy to get any form of a contract.
Behave and you'll get it.
Fine.
Oh, Enoch O says, you did miss my previous Rumble rant.
That was a $2 Rumble rant.
Let me see if I can go back to it.
I can't go back any further.
Heart Tackle, $10 Rumble rant says, keep up all the good work.
All right.
So one aspect of the gossip I don't care to get into, Stephen Crowd is no longer with the Blaze.
We'll see who makes out better long-term.
And that's it.
And whether or not the rationale behind the blazes, Crowder is asking for too much.
We think we can offer less.
I don't know.
Get Alex Stein and make more.
That's it.
It's a business.
It's not a charity.
And a business won't run very well as a charity because it won't run for very long if it runs as a charity.
That being said, loyalty is not charity.
Good work ethic or good contract or ethical contract negotiations is not charity.
You might stay in business longer and have a longer future if you negotiate ethically but not necessarily negotiate like a charity.
So with that said, I'm not your buddy guy, $2 rumble rant.
Al Sharpton is a grade A example of a grifter.
He is a race grifter and, in my opinion, a societal negative that only harms the world.
We will agree.
Al Sharpton is the case in point of a grifter.
Go into Nike.
Show me that.
Show me how.
Non-racially...
What's the word I'm looking for?
Non-racially equitable your terms of employment.
Find employees who think they've been discriminated against.
Look for employees.
Sow discord among employees to have some of them file racial complaints so you can go shake down Nike.
I'm not saying it happened hypothetically.
That's a prime example.
Grifter.
Okay, so the second part of the Stephen Crowder drama saga, And this is much more legal, and it's cutthroat law.
He put out a video yesterday called It's Time to Stop, after having put out a tweet that said, I'm not going to be quiet anymore, as if Crowder has ever been accused of being quiet, where he's calling out what he's now calling Stop the Con, which is the con as in a con job and con as in conservative.
So, you know, the double entendre.
Comment dire en français?
He's complaining or alleging that Conservative media entities who purport to be free speech, yada yada, draft contracts which are in fact as restrictive, if not more so, than liberal Democrat lefty contracts.
And Crowder says they are as much in bed with big tech social media for the purposes of censorship as the left, despite their outward allure, not their outward allure, their outward persona.
Of being proponents of free speech.
He says in the video, not mentioning names, and that's the whole, you know, scandal here.
Who's he talking about?
Let me share.
So this is the video, and I've taken even more notes.
Let me make sure that we're looking at the same thing here.
In the video, he goes through what he's purporting to be a contract that was sent to him from another conservative outlet.
So obviously not the blaze because...
He didn't get a contract with the Blaze, but I certainly know that he would not disclose the draft contract that might have been circulating between he and the Blaze.
Let's just assume this is a third-party entity.
And then the question is going to be, who's he talking about?
And the consensus seems to be the Daily Wire.
Shoot, is it the Daily Wire or the Daily Caller?
Daily Caller.
Which one is it, chat?
I'm an idiot.
Is it the Daily Wire or the Daily Caller?
There's a pretty...
Decent consensus.
Guys, is it the Daily Wire or the Daily Caller?
Daily Wire is black and white, and Daily Caller is blue and red.
And I forget which one Shapiro is.
Daily Wire.
Okay, so Daily Wire.
What's the Daily Caller, then?
Daily Wire.
Okay, it's the Wire.
So, I'm not mentioning names, but everybody seems to know.
Who he's talking about or suspect who he's talking about.
And at the end of the day, who the heck else could he be talking about?
Post-millennial?
OAN?
Fox News?
There were some other legit possibilities.
It doesn't matter.
And at the end of the day, it doesn't matter because this is a contract that...
I call it industry standard, but you expect to see terms like this in contracts.
But hold on.
My first note says at 2.30.
Oh, I got it.
I've got to wait through an ad.
90% of people with an IRA or 401k will not see this video, and that would be a tragedy.
Why is that?
So the first note that I have is at 2.30.
Side with big con.
The people you thought, the people I thought were fighting for you, a lot of it has been a big con.
Now, I'm specifically avoiding naming names or going after individuals.
I guess that was my first point.
He's not naming names, but by all accounts, it looks like he's naming names.
I know people are happy with what he's doing, calling out the hypocrisy.
There is a big risk in all of this in that Crowder, to some extent, is making sure that he's going to succeed independently because this is going to be a warning shot to anybody else now.
A lot of people are going to fear, I presume.
Negotiating with Crowder because he might do this to them if he doesn't like their contract.
This is a very risky proposition.
So he's got to feel very strongly in what he's doing and he's got to feel that it's morally justified because the old expression, and as someone who ran his own law practice for 2010, 2011,
let's say 2011, for over seven years, you know that when you If interview employees, if they shit on their previous employers, you can bet, sure as sugar, in the future, they'll be sitting down in another interview complaining about you.
So, I mean, this is the risk of what Crowder has done, and I would love to have this discussion with him as well because he knows by doing this, it's not a question of burning bridges with the people with whom he was in discussion, but it's going to make anybody else reluctant to say, like, Jesus, is he going to call me out?
If he thinks I'm, you know, being unscrupulous in my negotiations.
But, okay.
That thought aside, 818.
Here we go.
He's complaining about the terms of the contract.
And, you know, he's not wrong to complain.
But, again, at the end of the day, this is a business.
And the accusation against whomever he's talking about, the accusation about whomever he is talking, the accusation against the person or entity that he's talking about is that They are imposing terms and conditions which are not just onerous,
but which penalize the content creator and make them susceptible to the very type of cancel culture, political censorship that they have been victims to by YouTube itself.
And so, let me see, is this the right one?
Well, right now, I think this clause that he's...
That he's hiring.
Actually, what would have been redacted in the additional blank rights?
Additional?
Oh, they might have been an acronym for the contractor, for the individual.
Merch rights.
So this is what he's doing.
Whoever this is wants to own the creator and everything about the creator in perpetuity.
Merch rights.
The creator will maintain...
Oh, no, that's probably...
That's the contractor.
That's the employer.
Will maintain the exclusive rights to create and sell Crowder.
And Crowder content branded merchandise.
All remuneration for the...
Merge?
And exploitation of these rights is included in the fee.
Email list.
Crowder would not get to own his email list, which I don't think he has even under the blaze because he's starting up Mug Club forever, and he needs to get an email list because it doesn't sound like he had ownership over the people who subscribed to the Daily Wire for...
mug club.
Important considerations.
One of the driving factors why so many people have gone to locals, and I'm not doing this to sell locals, Viva VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
One of the main benefits is that of our membership, like we have a community, not paying supporters, but we have a membership, a community of over 105,000 members, and we have their email addresses.
And if the poo-poo hits the fan or something goes sour, that's our email list of all of our members, not supporters.
And we can reach out to them as needed.
It sounds like Crowder did not have that with the Blaze.
And it sounds like he wouldn't have had it with here.
Employer will maintain the exclusive right to manage, grow, and monetize all Crowder email lists during the term.
All remuneration for the exploitation of these rights is included in the fee.
Okay.
That's the fee that they pay for Crowder.
Social media management.
They will have the right, exclusive right to manage, curate, monetize Crowder's official Facebook, YouTube algorithm, Podcast, Spotify, Snapchat, Rumble.
Why am I highlighting Rumble?
Because we can now actually exclude as potential culprits for this contract those who are named in it.
Those who are named in the rights to manage.
That I can tell you, I would never have agreed to any terms like this, personally, being a lawyer.
Rumble and other social media accounts excluding Crowder's existing personal Twitter and Instagram accounts during the term.
During the term, at least.
Additionally, we will have the right to perpetual and exclusive right to create.
Oh.
They will have the perpetual and exclusive right to create, own, manage, curate, and monetize any and all social media accounts and any social media or similar platform as determined by them on the crowd or content or shows.
All remuneration for this is going to be included in the fee.
So they're going to reimburse.
Presumably, that's going to be part of the fee that they pay them, but they own it.
And I don't know what the fee is because the fee might be whatever it generates less.
20, 40, who knows how much.
8 minutes and 51 seconds was my next footnote here.
Let's see here.
If Crowder fails to deliver a monthly content in any month or any of the quarterly content in the corner, including any and all ad reads, and by the way, all these contracts came with 3, 4, 5 ad reads per show, which would fundamentally change what this show is.
Yeah, that would be a lot.
I mean, depending on how long the show is.
But we'll get into the ad reads afterwards.
Got to get those dollar-dollar bills.
Well, it is a business.
It is a business.
Now, the only question is whether or not those dollar-dollar bills cause the content to be curated or otherwise modified.
But what he's highlighting here is that you've got to perform a certain amount.
If you don't, there are penalties.
I think we can stop at 949.
If you get demonetized, there are penalties.
Daily penalty.
Is this it?
If it's not signed off, huh?
Beforehand.
You get hit by a car, you have a sick day, you can lose $100,000 a day.
Hey, anyone wonder why there's burnout in this?
Anyone wonder why you have kids come up and they leave?
They work on our guys.
We'll punish them for you.
Let me go on.
Specifically YouTube demonetization.
Here we go.
This is it.
If any of the major platforms issues a content strike such that Crowder cannot be monetized on such platform, and the company is not able to resolve the issue within 90 days, the fee will be reduced by 25% moving forward.
Now, I thought this was a mistake because, you know, these people maybe didn't know who I am that we've been demonetized for...
All right, we can stop it there.
I don't want to play too much of Crowder's video.
And both...
I mean, if you haven't seen it, go watch it.
Let me just get it and I'll show it to you.
It's time to stop here.
Let me put it in the link to Rumble, although I doubt very many people in Rumble have not watched this yet.
The idea here, I mean, it's a very obvious idea.
Whatever company is going to manage or bring on Crowder or anyone else, they're going to say, look, we need to make money.
We're a business.
If you put out content that is over-the-top...
Offensive, whatever, that gets demonetized.
Well, shit.
We're handling your monetization.
We've claimed all of your monetization.
We're going to get screwed.
We're going to pay you a function, a derivative, a multiple of whatever you generate here, whatever your contract says.
If you get demonetized, we're not collecting on the AdSense end, and so we're going to penalize you on our payout end.
It's business.
It's a contract.
It's why you have lawyers read stuff before you sign it.
The issue here is that Crowder says it's hypocritical because you're basically having whatever entity he saw, if it's the Daily Caller or the Daily Wire or whatever, you're having them.
I don't know if he's suggesting that they're actually working in concert with YouTube, with Twitter, with Facebook, whatever, or they're just facilitating the censorship.
At the end of the day, one would be worse than the other, but the outcome is the same.
If they're sitting down with YouTube saying, All right, dudes, we're doing business together.
And if it happens, we're going to pass the buck onto our content creator.
That would be much more sinister than if they just said, look, we're going to give you a chance.
But if we can't make money off you on YouTube, we're going to take that off the back end of what we pay you.
Fine.
The bottom line, however, is it amounts to the same.
And that same is the threat of hard censorship or soft censorship.
Due to monetization, demonetization, mass flagging, boycotts, campaigns, etc.
Which is what independence is supposed to be about.
He didn't sign.
This is Ignotum says he didn't.
Of course he didn't.
Sorry, I don't mean to say it like that.
He didn't sign.
He's warning others how bad these contracts can be.
I agree.
My only issue is that there's a lot of personalizing of the debate.
A conservative outlet is supposed to be more benevolent than a liberal outlet in terms of its financial dealings with its content creators.
It might be better for the long-term brand of the entity to be bold and courageous and to say, yeah, we're not going to penalize our creators if they get penalized by the very system that they're fighting against.
Whereas by this contract, it looks like someone says, I want to suck and blow.
I want to hedge my bets.
I want to fight the man while Passing the buck of the man's abuse onto my lowly content creators.
And here's the contract.
Take it or leave it.
And if you leave it, good luck on your own.
The other bottom line is, depending on your clout, depending on your weight, depending on your carry, you can negotiate these terms and you can say flat out, no, no, no.
And they can say, okay, well, let's take our risks or not.
And Crowder is obviously not at a position in his life where he needs to assume the liability.
Of a company that's not willing to get his back and make money off of his content without having to bend over backwards or bend over forwards to the YouTube censorship.
SSJ Rich, $5 Rumbrand says, but it created incentive for the parent company to false flag strike you since it saves them 25% per strike.
Okay, look, for sure.
I don't know that this is the $5 Rumbrand.
It's in yellow and it's a legitimate fear.
It creates an incentive for backhanded business techniques.
There's no question about that.
As far as I saw, Crowder was not accusing them of engaging in that.
That's fraud.
Crowder's not accusing anybody of engaging in overt fraud, which is drafting a contract that they can then go sabotage for their own financial gain, although that thought should cross people's minds.
What it does do, however, is just reward the very brigading contact.
Sorry.
The brigading conduct that we're fighting against.
Everyone, just so you know, Crowder did not sign the contract.
He started on his own now.
He's going on his own.
It's called Mug Club Forever, and I have no affiliation with it.
I've just been trying to understand it.
But I read that contract, and I'm like, okay, it's not even a bad contract.
It's a predictable contract.
It is a predictable contract that can piss off someone like Crowder, but that can be very, very welcoming.
It's flattering to a small-time creator who says, holy crap, now I've got the backing of this big company.
And so long as I play by the rules and so long as I agree with my contract, abide by my contract, create the quantity of content that I agree to create, which is always, you know, to be negotiated, this is just a trade-off.
I don't want to do 10 episodes.
I don't want to do 30 episodes a month.
I want to do 15. Well, okay, fine.
We can do that, but we're not going to pay you X. We're going to pay you X divided by two.
So it's just a very, very one-sided, onerous contract.
And he's raising the flag.
And I think he's calling out what he perceives to be the hypocrisy of the entity that had the audacity of handing this contract off to the content creators and presumably have already entered into similar contracts with their content creators.
The other thing is, at the end of the day, even if the contract provides for Don't...
So...
Anyway, so that's it.
He's raising a flag about the abusive nature of some of these contracts, and he's right to do it.
We'll see.
Okay, Kay Campbell 48 says, no, Viva, that's not what's happening.
Then tell me what's happening, Kay Campbell.
That's not enough information for me to move on.
What is happening?
And I'm open to it.
What's happening?
That's the contract part.
The thing about the hypothesizing about advertising compromising intellectual honesty.
Sticks, Hex, and Hammer put out a video today.
I watched it.
And he named a few people who he thinks, in his assessment, have not been compromised by the business.
Who you know are always going to be intellectually honest and have not been bought out, sold out, or grifted out.
I've got to tell you, I was a little disappointed that I didn't hear my name.
He had Razor Fist.
He had...
Oh, now I forgot everyone else he mentioned.
I was a little disappointed he didn't mention me because the prevailing thought is that if you get a sponsor, you're going to shill for the sponsor, you're going to change your content to please your sponsors.
And that will be true or not, both of sponsors and of community.
There are people who shill, moderate their content, modify their content to please their community because they rely on their community for support.
If one is going to compromise one's intellectual integrity, They'll do it for sponsors.
They'll do it for community support.
They'll do it for clout.
They'll do it just to remain relevant.
So sponsorships, in as much as they don't...
If a sponsorship compromises an individual, it's because that individual was able to be compromised, period.
And they would have been compromised by any number of other factors that guarantee or ensure survival.
They would have compromised to the will of their crowd.
Hey, we want to see more of this type of content.
Fight with this person.
Follow these theories because that's what we want to see.
And if we don't, we're going to stop supporting you.
Those who are susceptible of intellectual compromise will be to whatever financial, ideological, political interest.
And that was it.
I think I might have mentioned that before.
Okay, Kay Campbell.
If they make a video like Change Mother...
Changed my mind, and the company doesn't agree they will penalize the content creator.
Hey, I agree.
That's what's going on.
They make a contract that allows them to maximize their profits on the back of their content creator.
Some people say that's capitalism, and then other people are going to say that's bad capitalism.
The best and most successful, longest-running companies are not the ones that are the most cutthroat.
That's true until you get to a certain size, at which point you can be cutthroat and F off.
And I'm thinking of like, you know, certain companies.
Ironwolf21, $5 rumble rant says, have you addressed the insanity of the Biden lawyers actually searching for incriminating evidence than the FBI saying, hey, thanks, we don't need to search, you got it all.
I'm going to have to go check that out, Ironwolf.
For that $5 rumble rant, I will not only go look that up, I will give you the answer that you want.
I'm joking.
So the idea of being compromised because of sponsors, if you have integrity, nothing else matters.
If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters.
This is the saga with Crowder.
I'm not shocked or blown away.
I've seen these contracts time and time again.
I would never have agreed to a great many of those provisions.
And the idea of burnout, that's a real issue.
But look, burnout is true in everything.
Burnout is true in law.
Burnout is true in nursing.
Burnout is...
It's not unique to content creation.
And I don't even know that it's more prevalent in content creators versus anywhere else.
Burnout is a thing.
The only thing is that most people in life don't care about people's burnout work or quit.
And that's the harsh reality.
Burnout among lawyers, tremendous.
And in fact, I think every young...
I won't say anything, actually.
Radha Jame, $3 Rumbrand, says, FYI, the Stephen Crowder's content is 10 times better production quality than any other Blaze show.
If you take a look on Just, if you take a look on Just in YouTube, the amount of viewers is around 900,000 to a million.
It's amazing.
And his quality is amazing.
The studio is amazing.
The production value is amazing.
But that also translates into overhead that he's got to maintain to maintain that quality.
And I don't expect Crowder to work for free.
Crowder is entitled to remuneration and healthy remuneration for what he does.
He's loud.
He's out there.
He's righteous.
And he risks himself.
And he's entitled.
He's entitled to all the success that he gets.
But my goodness, yeah, that studio, that producer, people rag on me because I don't have the tech support.
There's security.
There is not safety, but rather...
You're supposed to keep growing and growing and growing, but there is safety and not over-leveraging, and there's safety to maintaining sustainable overhead.
But it might also limit growth.
But who knows?
Who knows?
It doesn't matter.
There will always be greater and lesser people than yourselves.
That is from Desiderata.
Stay humble and do not compare yourself to others because there will always be greater and lesser people than yourselves.
And if you compare yourself to them, You may become vain or bitter.
Beautiful.
Okay, let me see in the chat if I've missed anything.
I think I've covered it all.
Okay.
Let's see what we got.
WEF is discussing brain transparency.
That's from Teresa Be Kind.
Hold on.
Let me just go and cough again.
No Rona jokes, people.
I don't have any Rona.
I have a dry throat and I need to drink something.
Okay.
I think we've gotten everything in Crowder.
Swexit says, yes, his show is awesome.
He got the paying audience, so what is he crying about?
I think he's got legitimate intentions of raising awareness of exploitive contracts.
I think long-term, there would have been better ways of doing it.
My humble opinion.
The same discussion could have been had.
Presumably without calling out any one person in specific, because if it's not the Daily Wire, everyone thinks it is, so the outcome is the same.
And if it is the Daily Wire, everybody knows.
And so the same point could have been made.
Hey, people, here it is.
There's no legal advice.
Don't sign a freaking contract without having a lawyer look it over, okay?
Even when I enter into contracts, I have a lawyer look them over.
It just so happens that my father's a lawyer, my brother's a lawyer, my other brother's a lawyer, my sister's a lawyer, my sister-in-law is a lawyer, my other sister-in-law is a lawyer.
My brother-in-law's parents are lawyers.
Am I missing any lawyers?
Oh yeah, and I know a few lawyers.
But do not review your own contract because you lack the objectivity to do it.
You will be more inclined to exploit yourself than someone else will be for you.
And it's a lot easier to have someone else negotiate for you because sometimes it's embarrassing to negotiate for yourself.
Okay, I read one.
A real joke.
Yeah, okay.
Some stereotypes.
What do you call a lawyer?
What's the joke?
There's a joke in there that a lawyer is a Jewish kid who didn't like blood.
Someone told me that joke and I was like, what are you talking about?
My dog is not a lawyer.
My sidekick is a lawyer.
Oh yeah, that's right.
My sidekick is a lawyer, but American.
Not that I don't pick his brain as well.
Bottom line of the Loud Earth Crowder saga, politics is nasty.
Business is not always friendly.
You don't always get paid what you think you're worth.
You know, it's, it's, Setting aside ego is very important.
And yes, don't expect charity from any corporation.
Don't even expect charity from a charity, okay?
There's a reason why the Red Cross CEO gets paid $600,000 a year.
Don't expect charity from a charity.
Okay.
Okay, so that's it with Louder with Crowder.
What else is going on these days, people?
In the world's slow descent into madness, I said we were going to start with a gag or a rage.
Let's get back to the gag, shall we?
Look at that face.
We want to do it without audio.
Let's do this without audio and just look at this face.
And I'm not saying like in any...
Just look at the face of, I genuinely believe, to be a psychopath.
I know I shouldn't use that word.
I'm not a psychiatrist.
But I'll defer to Jordan Peterson on this one.
Justin Trudeau, I believe, is a genuine psychopath, sociopath, however you want to say it.
Look at the face.
Just watch this.
Watch this without audio.
And it becomes even scarier.
Oh, by the way, look at this.
Look at the change in demeanor.
Right now?
Hold on.
There.
No?
Oh, now I'm supposed to pretend that I'm interested in what you have to say.
Let me hear.
Oh, yes.
Smile.
I'm such a charismatic, lovable person.
Yes, I'm listening to you.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Smiling again.
And his smile, his smile, let's go to the end.
His smile is a sneer.
His smile is scornful.
Let me just see it here.
Okay.
There you go.
That's not a smile.
That's scorn.
That is the least sincere smile on earth, but it's actually a scornful look of disdain for the lowly plebs with whom he has to interact.
But let's hear it with audio now, shall we?
We'll start with CBC suspecting.
This morning, Premier Scott Moe said he was disappointed that you were coming to Saskatchewan to this facility on your tour, but he was not aware of the visit.
Why didn't your office...
By the way, you notice how his demeanor changes right when he's made aware of the fact that he's done something wrong.
He goes to visit...
This is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for those of you who don't know.
Scott Moe or whoever it is, Premier of...
What do they say?
Saskatchewan.
He visits a province and doesn't contact the Premier to let them know.
He goes to visit a facility on that province and doesn't give a heads up or invite to the premier.
And he knows that he's supposed to because he changes his name like, oh, shit.
Yeah, I was supposed to do that.
Mo said he was disappointed that you were coming to Saskatchewan to this facility on your tour, but he was not aware of the visit.
I know, I know.
I really should have noticed or extended invites.
What's the question?
What's the question?
What's your response to the fact that you didn't give the Premier a heads up that you were coming to his province to visit a facility in his province?
We've had lots of great opportunities to make announcements with Premier Mo over the years.
Over the years?
You psychopath.
We're talking about today now.
Why didn't you tell him you're coming?
Why didn't you schedule with him?
What's your response?
I've had many good interactions with Premier Mo over the years.
Saskatchewan is an important partner on many different issues.
At the same time, we also know there's work to be done.
There's work to be done.
What?
Question, are you answering?
When I go into depositions, and this happens all the time, and I let them go to the end, and I go, what question did I just ask you?
And they don't remember.
Encouraging the government of Saskatchewan to see the opportunities that companies and indeed workers are seeing in a cleaner job.
Very Gavin Newsom, all of this gesticulation here.
Because in politics, they tell you, don't point a finger.
Watch your finger gestures.
It's all got to be, like, close-handed.
You know, like, Bill Clinton never pointed a finger, it was always the thumb.
And these are not accidents.
These are polished, psychopath politicians.
...in the opportunities for cleaner energy projects.
What the hell is he talking about?
These are things we're going to continue to work on, but I'm always happy to work with the government of Saskatchewan.
Nobody asked you that question, Justin!
...Skatchewan to deliver good jobs for workers across Saskatchewan.
I'm a good boy.
So why not invite him?
We're glad to be here today with Mayor Clark.
Why not invite him?
We're glad to be here today with Vital Medals and highlighting the great work that's being done here.
Don't ask another goddamn question, woman.
Psychopath.
And I believe in the clinical sense.
Manipulative.
Dishonest.
Pathologically dishonest.
Oh my god.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Let me just see what's going on in the chat.
Let me see.
Newsom may be the next president.
Okay.
$2 rumble rant.
Water is life.
Viva.
Please look at Bill 36. And recall David...
Oh, hold on.
What did I say?
Recall...
I'm going to Google this.
I don't know what this is.
Okay, what is Bill 36?
Okay, I'm going to look up that.
That is water's life.
Look up Bill 36. I will.
Psychopathy.
Please, no more punishment.
Okay, that was it.
I just saw it.
I can't not share my misery with everyone else.
Now that I've done sharing the misery of that, let's just...
More in Canadian politics, just because it has to be highlighted.
It cannot be allowed to disappear into the ether.
Oh, wait a minute.
Sorry, I just got a word from my sponsor.
Birch Gold does not want me talking about Justin Trudeau anymore.
And I'm joking.
Look at this, by the way.
This is Chrystia Freeland.
Notice the date on the bottom, please.
January 16, 2023.
Chrystia Freeland.
She's meeting with the nurses.
Nurses are integral to our healthcare system.
This is in Canada.
Chrystia Freeland is on the Board of Trustees of the WEF.
She's on the Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum.
She's a member of our Canadian government.
What is she?
She's the Minister of Finance.
And, okay.
Nurses are integral to our healthcare system.
We know they are under enormous strain.
Yeah, especially since we fired all the filthy unvaxxed.
And all governments can work together to support their hard work.
I spoke with candidate nurses to discuss improvements and solutions to the challenges they face.
None of which involved lifting the unscientific, unconstitutional vaccine mandates.
Christopher Freeland, the federal government, and CMA.
I don't know what that stands for.
Canadian Medical Association docs, I don't know, maybe, are aligned on many priorities for the future of our healthcare system.
And we believe in public system that works for Canadians and our healthcare workers.
Thank you for the insightful discussion today.
Nova Scotia, by the way, had 585, 588, or 558.
Let me go with the lower number so I don't get accused of misinformation.
558 people died in the ER waiting in 2022.
Just notice the masks.
When she meets with those dirty nurses, the lowly plebs of Canadian society that she thanks.
Masks, masks, masks.
Oh, what's that?
She meets with Secretary Yellen?
When was this?
Oh, six days before.
No masks.
Look at this.
I'm important.
I wear masks when I meet with the lowly Canadian citizens when I need to send that message.
But when I'm with Secretary Yellen, masks off, shake hands while we...
Have a poo-poo-eating grin on our face and destroy the world.
Science.
Trust the science.
Okay, I just noticed a bunch of rumble rants here.
Alberta 1984.
I spend money on these companies in hopes to make a change through sites that they say are fighting censorship.
This proves they don't fight.
The censorship will remain thanks to them.
All I can speak to is rumble.
Alberta 1984.
And I think I get the reference.
Rumble is the one that stuck a middle finger up, politely speaking, to the French government.
They're not going to take off RT because someone asked them to.
And if France wants to block Rumble in France, maybe the equation would have been different had it been the US.
I don't know.
Rumble is a company that is walking the walk while talking the talk and dancing.
You know what I'm saying.
Village ID.
Oh, Village Idiot, I guess.
Village ID.
Burnout in medicine too, especially after the sellout to Pharma, CDC, NIAIH, National Institute of Allergies and Institute of Health.
National, whatever, I know what it is, etc.
Glad I'm retired.
Village Aid, I hope that your retirement fund can withstand the pressures of inflation.
Have you invested in gold?
Birchgold.com forward slash Viva.
I really want to get a gold.
I want to get...
A beautiful United States dollar gold coin.
I want one.
I might get one.
But then I think, touch it.
Worship it.
It's idolatry, but it can go up in value.
Okay, what am I looking for now?
In the Rumble rants, in the Rumble section, all BC doctors should leave.
All BC doctors should leave BC.
That's from Rob A. Okay, so that's more of the gagging stuff, but let's get to the fun stuff.
Let's get to the fun stuff here.
Hold on.
I'm going to close this.
This is Wisdom to Action, the entity.
We got that.
Let me clean up the backdrop here so I can...
Yeah.
Low overhead.
I don't have Steven Crowder production.
I want one of those neon lights in the back.
But again, like $3,000.
So you got to make $3,000 just for decor.
You know what I have?
I have my old license plate.
I love that thing.
It costs $300.
Best custom plate ever.
I'm going to get to my brother in a second.
Let's do this now.
Before we leave Canada, my brother, you may know him from Twitter, Lion Advocacy.
I'll take credit for his thorough, thorough red pilling in short order.
I take full credit for it, but my brother, he's all grown up now.
Check this out.
I will proceed to the first item of business, which is item...
HL 1.1, election of chair for 2023.
My brother has become quite the advocate.
He's a lawyer.
This is one of the many lawyers.
Lion Advocacy on Twitter.
His eyes have been opened like the main character in Clockwork Orange.
We do have one speaker on this item, so I will ask them to now come forward.
They will have five minutes to speak.
My brother from my mother.
The first speaker is Daniel Freyheit.
They mispronounced his name.
Damn it.
Here we go.
This is my bro.
It's three and a half minutes, so bear with me.
I'm not sure if my video is on.
Let's see if I can start my video as well.
Yes, please go ahead.
There we are.
Thank you.
Good morning, honorable members of the board and incoming chair.
As you probably know, my name is Daniel Fryer, and I do a lot of advocacy on Twitter about best practices for COVID vaccine workloads, and in that capacity, I acquire a lot of information.
from people across Canada and Torontonians in particular about how their lives have been impacted by vaccine mandates.
I just want to speak briefly to the Board of Health and the incoming chair, who I understand is being voted in as this first item.
As this board and the incoming chair probably know, many companies across Toronto continue to have COVID vaccine requirements as a condition for employment.
It's often found in job postings, but in some situations it's thrown on individuals during a job interview.
We know that during COVID, the role of the chair was used to promote and encourage vaccines for all Torontonians, including third doses.
Four doses.
Despite all evidence, keep jacking yourself up.
And which is consistent with the board's mandate.
As the city of Toronto continues to witness so many companies exclude unvaccinated individuals from employment, I would respectfully ask this board, and especially the incoming chair who's being voted in today, to consider the possibility of raising to the public's attention that vaccine requirements as a condition of employment are no longer necessary and in fact may be doing more harm than good.
No poop Sherlock.
This time last year and Dr. Tam a month later, or shortly after, pointed out that given the different...
Strains.
So the different strains.
Hold on.
Let me close this.
Oh, yeah.
Given the different strains and, you know, that minor issue that the Jibby Jabs don't prevent transmission.
Therefore, having a vaccine mandate...
Continue in effect right now, despite the fact that they don't prevent transmission.
This is not medical advice.
This is not science advice.
This is just fact.
Do I not have part two of that?
Oh, for God's sake, I don't have part two of that.
Anyhow, it doesn't make sense.
End these mandates.
Do you have any questions?
Nobody has any questions.
Nobody has any questions.
And by the way, this is the Toronto chief doctor.
Eileen P. Davila, who gets paid $350,000 a year.
When we look at the workplace, is there a level of concerns?
This was yesterday or the day before.
This is not last year.
So through the chair, Councillor, thank you for the question.
I think that if we're talking about COVID-19 in particular, I just want to make sure that I understand what the concern is.
I think we...
This is the day before yesterday.
Is that there are certain circumstances that are higher risk and certain situations that are higher risk and certain situations.
I can't even listen to it.
IP Davila salary.
Eileen P. Davila salary.
Thank you.
This is the doctor that was in charge of not reopening.
Everybody, you can live off $2,000 a month government stipend while I collect in full.
In 2021, $320,000 a year.
The only privilege that truly exists among men is political privilege.
It is good to be of the political elite at all times.
So anyways, that's it.
My brother asked that question.
He's been getting active.
He's been becoming a vocal advocate.
And I'm proud of my bro.
Okay.
Now.
Now, now, now.
Now, now, now.
Hold on.
Where is it?
I might have to go to my...
So the WEF thingy thing is going on these days, right?
Everybody's paying attention to that.
Snippets and clippets are coming out.
Listen to this beautiful one.
Yeah, I think this is from...
You raised it.
Where are you in development?
Because I know, I think that's what you were originally doing at BioNTech.
You were developing mRNA for flu.
Where are you on a flu vaccine based on mRNA?
Oh, the studies are running.
They have completely recruited.
We are waiting for cases as they accumulate.
It means that people have been vaccinated.
Placebo, vaccine, and the disease, some of them will get disease.
And then we are waiting to unblind the data to see what is coming.
I think we'll come in this year, in 2023.
Well, that's what I was going to ask.
I mean, you can't guarantee a timeline, depending on the clinical trial.
No, because...
If you best guess, what would you think?
I think by the first half of the year, maybe.
First half of the year?
Yeah, June, July.
Can you imagine?
Like, mRNA technology has never been used before 2020.
Never been used in a vaccine.
It's never been tested on humans.
They might have done some testing in 2015, but never been used for vaccine technology in humans.
And Albert Buller was very surprised when they said for COVID that we were going to go with mRNA.
I was very surprised.
We have never used it in humans.
That was 2020.
It worked so well, now they're going to do it with the flu shot.
And when?
Next year it's going to be ready.
And so how far are we away from one vaccine that's both COVID and flu together?
First, we need to have the flu.
And if we had the flu already...
You know what you need to have?
Then you need to have a COVID shot also, because the one you have doesn't work.
Oh, I'm sorry.
The one we have doesn't prevent transmission.
It might reduce your symptoms of severity.
We're currently testing whether or not it causes myocarditis in clinical trials, but let's go for another one.
experiments to combine the two.
First, we need to have a flu.
If we have a flu, we already started experiments to combine the two so that we don't lose time again.
I think we'll come more or less all together if it is successful.
It's a miracle!
After having warp-speeded a vaccine that they don't even know the damage that it's causing yet, running those trials right now, Pfizer and Moderna.
Clinical trials for myocarditis to see the extent of which it causes myocarditis.
Oh, they're going to have a flu jibby jab with the mRNA at the end of this year.
We will mix the two together and we will experiment.
We will continue experimenting on the humans.
No harm, no foul.
This is how science works, right?
This is the speed of science.
And it's been, coincidentally enough, very, very profitable for us.
Yes.
Okay, I had that up on the backdrop.
We're actually, now it's just going to be, we're going to be getting the tail end stories.
Okay, so hold on.
I need to go to home.
We need to go to...
I mean, it's just, I don't even know what this is.
I'm going to have to look at this one afterwards.
Let me bring this up.
That wasn't what I wanted to bring up.
Stop screen, present, share screen, Chrome window.
What do I have here?
Okay, this was my source for the funding of the government.
Okay, we got that one.
What else have we not gotten?
I think we got everything today, people.
Oh, I went down the rabbit hole with a couple of things.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
We got to bring this one up.
Brian Stetler, by the way, was at the World Economic Forum.
This is from Monica Crowley, host of the Monica Crowley podcast.
Forever a happy warrior, former Assistant Secretary of Treasury.
Okay.
Monica Crowley put up this video.
Brian Stelter, moderating a panel at the World Economic Forum on the clear and present danger of disinformation is pure gold.
Talk from the newsroom and the news publishing perspective, and then we'll work our way toward some of the political parts of the conversation.
How does this discussion of disinformation...
Relate to everything else happening here today in Dallas.
What the hell is in that book in his hands?
Let's pretend that I have some notes here.
I mean, I do have notes.
What the heck is it?
He took a note out of Jean-Pierre, press secretary Jean-Pierre's presentation.
Have something in your hands so that you look like an intellectual and that you're prepared.
Thanks for having me as part of this conversation.
As you can imagine, this is something I really care deeply about.
So I think if you look at this question of disinformation, I think it maps basically to every other major challenge that we are grappling with this society, and particularly the most existential among them.
So disinformation and the broader set of...
Misinformation, conspiracy, propaganda.
What's amazing is give someone a mic, give them a fancy setting, give them an adoring audience.
I don't know who's in the audience here, but give them the impression of importance.
My goodness, they'll think they're important.
I'm fairly certain this is A.G. Schellenberger from the New York Times talking about the fissure and the distrust that has been sowed among the population.
And I actually happen to agree with them.
I just wonder if he knows that he's the cause of it.
And if he does know that he's the cause of it, is that the purpose of what the New York Times, the CNN are doing?
Is it deliberately to sow discord and to create uncertainty among the population so they don't know what to believe?
Hold on.
The clickbait, you know, the broader mix of bad information that's corrupting information.
Bad information like, you know, the New York Times suggesting that Brian Sicknick was bludgeoned to death by Trump supporters.
You know, that type of bad information.
That suggested that the hospitalization rate of children was 10 times more than what it was from COVID.
That type of bad information?
Ecosystem.
What it attacks is trust.
And once you see trust decline...
Nobody watches you.
What you then see is societies start to fracture.
And so you see people fracture along tribal lines.
And, you know, that immediately...
Yeah, Salzburger, sorry.
Salzburger, not Schellenberger.
...really undermines pluralism.
And, you know, the undermining of pluralism...
Look at the other audio.
Oh, yes, yes.
...is probably the most dangerous thing that can happen to it.
Committed?
Hold on a second.
Committed to improving the state of the world, the WEF?
Probably the most dangerous thing that can happen to a democracy.
So I think if you're spending this week thinking about the health of democracies and democratic erosion, I think it's really important to work your way back up to where this starts.
Yeah, it starts with you, you propagandist purveyors of disinformation.
Partisan, politically motivated disinformation that causes people to have the propensity to question Absolutely everything.
And at times to believe the preposterous because they have been so conditioned to be led to believe that they are being fed lies from the venerable pillars of civil society, the fifth estate, the cornerstones of truth, the gray lady.
Someone was asking, what is Bill C-36?
So let's just read this here.
Growing backlash.
Now is not the time BC faces growing backlash from healthcare professionals over Bill 36. A British Columbia healthcare system verges on collapse.
British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, all of Canada.
But it's free, guys.
It's free.
It's free, but you pay for it almost 50 cents on every tax dollar you pay.
Provincial lawmakers have enacted sweeping changes to the oversight of medical professionals in a surprise move workers are denouncing as unnecessary.
When hospitals and doctors' offices began seeing an onslaught of sick patients this fall.
Oh, that's interesting.
Why?
It's almost like some people were predicting that after two years of isolation, mental distress, unhealthy lifestyle, fear, porn, social isolation, it's almost like people are going to get sick.
Sicker.
It's almost like the cure was worse than the disease.
Almost.
Politicians were busy passing Bill 36, new legislation merging colleges, but also fundamentally changing how those colleges will function going forward.
This seems very specific to British Columbia.
BC currently has 15 colleges, with the new Healthcare Professionals and Occupations Act will stream down to six.
In addition, the college's oversight system will be expanded to include more professions.
Merging and adding is not controversial, but...
What's rankling many healthcare professionals is the changes to the administration of those colleges.
Going forward, the board...
Is this the bill...
Chat, this is the bill C-36, right?
Oh, I saw a yellow super chat, a rumble rant.
Hold on one second.
Where was it?
Jimmy, Jim87 says, from the US, are there still COVID mandates in Canada?
I see all the masks and wonder if mandatory.
Are many leaving Canada now?
It's unbearable to see the insanity.
I don't believe there are any mask mandates now in Canada, but I believe they're coming back.
I suspect they're coming back.
There are still vaccine mandates for certain employment.
And the madness is unbearable to look at.
Agreed.
I think I hear my wife suggesting that a dog has pooped outside.
It can only be one dog.
There's one in here.
Okay, I think we can stop with that.
We're going to stop with that because we're going to want to end with Greta Thunberg got arrested, everybody.
Greta Thunberg got arrested and the original photo op or the original video let's just see here the original video Showed her getting hauled off by German police.
There was a back.
Oh, hold on.
Okay, here it is.
I remember now.
Sorry, I didn't have this one opened up.
I think this was a last minute decision.
Okay, no, hold on.
It was where she said we got kettled.
Here we go.
Listen to this.
This is Greta Thunberg tweeting after her apparent arrest by German authorities.
Yesterday I was part of a group that peacefully protested the expansion of a coal mine in Germany.
We were kettled by police and then detained but let go later that evening.
Climate protection is not a crime.
Chat in rumble.
One for it's hers.
Two for it's handlers.
It's her handlers.
Who thinks she drafted that tweet?
One, she drafted it.
Two, her PR team drafted it.
We were kettled.
Kettled.
Kettled means when the police basically flank from all directions and trap protesters and I guess technically detain them prior to being arrested.
So they kettle them like animals, like cattle, but it's not cattling, it's kettling.
Maybe the shape of a kettled head.
I don't know exactly the origins, but it's a way where the police basically...
Surround and trap protesters.
She was kettled.
She was kettled, detained, and then later let go.
How do I bring this up?
This is after the kettling.
Maybe this is after they were kettled.
You also want those pretty?
I think I got to do it.
Want to capture audio?
Kettled.
Remember, she was kettled.
Get your photo, people.
Oh, yes.
Look at this.
Nike.
Brought to you by Nike.
Get a nice close-up shot.
What's the word?
Low profile.
Bokeh.
Blurred background.
Look of determination in her eyes.
Okay, Nat, we've got the shot.
Now you can go.
You're smiling?
Oh, kettled.
Kettled.
There's another angle.
By the way, just so I said, you're lucky.
I said she's lucky she didn't get the Justin Trudeau treatment.
Look at this.
Look at this.
That's a human.
That's a human under there.
Greta was kettled and then arrested.
And there was a second angle, which we're going to look at now.
There seems to be no audio here.
Remember, kettled by police.
It's like people don't realize.
There's cameras everywhere.
Smiling, laughing.
There you go.
Hey, you got it?
It's all fun.
Detained and then released.
Go away, little girl.
Outrageous, people.
Close that up.
Outrageous.
Have we been going for nearly an hour and 42 minutes?
Unbelievable how time flies.
Little Liar stage photo of maple syrup.
And I see a lot of twos.
I think I see a lot of twos.
Yeah, two plus two equals five.
Shisco S says, yeah, there is a mask mandate still in Ottawa in all medical, et cetera, staff, client, okay.
Mask mandate in medical buildings in Ottawa.
Shisco S, thank you very much.
In fact, I think I only see twos.
I have not seen one one.
That is it.
Confused as F, a $10 rumble rant says, Viva vaccines are not created equally.
A LAV vaccine is best in provoking a natural immunity.
Dead virus come next.
Then worst are subunit.
mRNA is an unquantified subunit vax.
Just follow the money.
Oh, I got a technist shot.
I got my kids, you know, traditional vaccine vax, you know, whatever they were.
But when the reporter there, Sunberger, whoever that reporter from the New York Times is, news has done to trust in the media what experts and doctors and politicians have done to trust in science and trust in the medical community.
I understand that there are people out there now who were never questioning prior vaccines that will now because of this.
Where I fit on that...
I like to think that there's been a longer track record, like, you know, 15-plus years for all the other MMR, tetanus, whatever.
But I understand.
It's happening.
It's going to happen.
And it's not just understandable.
It's predictable, which causes some people to think it's by design.
But we won't go there.
O. Enoch O. says, it is Munchausen by proxy, but government is the controller.
And I tend to agree with that.
And some people were freaking out about the fourth booster.
Yep, fourth booster.
Fourth booster.
Okay, I think...
Let me see here.
Okay, I don't need that.
Close that down.
Oh, I'm going to go to the vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
There are some tippers in there, which is just to say thank you to them.
USA Now shared a picture of a...
Obviously a woman who's pregnant but has had a double mastectomy and trans therapy and looks masculine.
Then there's USA Now who seems to have someone riding a moose.
And it says, when it's minus 33 and my car won't start.
USA Now, another $1 tip says, former President Donald Trump's team sent a letter to Facebook on...
Damn it, hold on.
Let me just go to the...
All of you tipped so I can read these.
Okay, there's an article from USA Now about a died suddenly case, which I'm going to look at before I share.
USA Now says former President Donald Trump's team sent a letter to Facebook on Tuesday requesting the social media platform reinstate his account in the letter.
Trump's team argued that the ban on the former president has dramatically distorted and inhibited the public discourse and that a continued ban would be, quote, a deliberate effort by a private company to silent Mr. Trump's political voice, given that he's currently running in the 2024 presidential campaign.
Bankrupt Facebook.
USA Now, thank you very much for those wonderful tips and those funny images.
And I'm going to go to View All.
And it says Viva is Red Gus Now.
Robbie, I don't know what that means.
And now there's a discussion in the chat at vivabarneslaw.locals.com where you can go and become a member with no financial obligation whatsoever and get tons of free content.
Or you can choose to support $7 a month, $70 a year, if you are so inclined.
Or more.
Some people actually give more than $7 a month, which is immensely generous and immensely surprising.
And we have a great community there.
Let me just make sure that I haven't forgotten anything that I had on the backdrop before I think it might be time to go outside.
Oh, yeah.
One last one.
One last one.
So Andrew Callahan, the documentary filmmaker.
Who apparently, in the context of making his documentary on the Q people, posted a Twitter tweet of his interview with a young kid who starts repeating a lot of things that you know he has heard adults around him say.
And I think to deliberately, knowingly make a video of a kid that you know or can strongly suspect might, I won't say embarrass him in the future, but...
Which is exploitive.
Period.
Exploitive.
Because it won't make the kid look good to some crowd and you know it.
The kid might regret it later on in his life and you know it.
You didn't blur the kid's face out and you could have.
And I said, this is child exploitation.
This is just disgusting.
And I had no idea who Andrew Callahan was.
Then I was watching Alex Jones talk to Alex Stein.
Alex Jones talked to Alex Stein last night.
And Jones said that Callahan came to interview him for the documentary and mic'd him up.
And then recorded Alex Jones talking to other people off set when he was walking around, going to the bathroom, and then released it because it's funny.
And then I heard that Andrew Callahan is now facing some accusations, and I found this article in TMZ.
Guilty until proven innocent.
No buts.
It's not because I don't like this guy that I'm going to be more inclined to believe it.
And I'll approach this with the same grain of salt and presumption of innocence that I would if he were.
An ally, someone I liked, even though I don't like this guy, this Napoleon Dynamite recreation.
Andrew Callahan apologizes, talks consent therapy.
Andrew Callahan is speaking for himself regarding sexual misconduct allegations that have been hurled his way, saying sorry to those affected.
That's never a good step to maintaining the presumption of innocence while also stepping back.
The host of All Gas No Breaks, as well as HBO's new mockumentary, This Place Rules, posted a public video Sunday on YouTube channel that he seems to have just created.
It's a four-minute clip where he outright apologizes to people he has hurt.
We're going to get there in this saga.
Callahan says he's been in a state of shock denial these past several days after the allegations, namely a handful of women who've come forward to claim he had sex with them only after wearing them down among other alleged sexual impropriety.
Thank you.
Now that he's had time to reflect, however, Callahan says he's been engaging in toxic pursuits of women for years.
Oh, geez, it's funny how, you know, when you exploit a kid, you'll be just as likely or inclined to exploit other humans.
It's funny how that whole exploitation of humans works.
Noting there's a difference between someone saying no and an enthusiastic partner who's clearly consenting to sexual relations.
Presumption of innocence is on the decline, Andrew Callahan.
He says this has forced him to reevaluate some things in his life and vows to start therapy sessions immediately.
Well, all right, we might be up to the three strikes.
And now I think the presumption of innocence is strongly in question.
He also...
Oh, this is it.
It's...
I'm guilty.
Sorry, it's I apologize.
I'm reflecting.
I have flaws.
Oh, and other people do as well.
Callahan also urges other young men who've been jumping to his defense to stop and look in the mirror as well, as this is part of a much larger convo.
Oh, no, no, no, no, Andrew.
This is your conversation.
Don't try to lump other men in this.
There's a benefit to getting married young and keeping your schmeckle in your pants.
Don't try to lump other people into your wrongdoings.
Hey, guys, guys, guys.
This isn't just about me and what I've now admitted to improper sexual pressuring of women.
This is about all of us.
I got two fingers for that, Andrew, and they're in the middle of my hand.
Callahan does note there's some context missing from the stories, and some depictions he says are false, but doesn't go into detail about what those are.
We'd previously been told that one accuser had allegedly demanded money from Callahan before going public, something one source say he refused to cave to, which prompted her to That's not a good sign either.
Callahan also apologized to his fellow collaborators.
This after a couple of EPs on his HBO project denounced him and said they had no plans to work with him in the near future.
Well, he's done.
Do we want to watch this?
He's done.
Do we want to watch this?
One, let's watch a little bit of Andrew Callahan.
Two, no.
One yes.
Let's see what Callahan has to say.
Two.
No.
We're going to watch it.
I never thought I'd make a video like this, but I think there's an important conversation to be had.
I'm sorry.
An important conversation.
It's not about me.
It's about all of us.
It's all about all of us.
So I'd like to start by thanking every single person who's came out in the past week to speak about different ways in which my behavior has made them feel uncomfortable or pressured.
I'd like to thank them.
Not blinking.
I'm sure this was not easy to do.
It's never easy to speak out.
And it was hard for me to hear as well, because to be honest with you, up until this point, I didn't even really realize that I had this pattern that had affected multiple people.
Okay, I'm sorry.
We can all agree he's guilty.
I mean, he's admitting his guilt.
Okay.
I gave him the presumption, saw some evidence, heard the words out of his mouth, the demeanor, the indications of guilt, always the same.
It's not just me.
I've got a problem.
I'm going to go to rehab.
I'm going to go to therapy.
And, hey, other people do worse.
Okay.
Now, the real question, however, is what do we play?
I know what video I'm playing this out with today.
I just don't know if I've already done it.
Let me see what's going on in the VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
Lord Justicost says if you click join this chat, you need to pay.
That might be one of the perks, one of the benefits that supporting members get, Lord Justicost.
There's a bunch of twos.
You see, the problem is when I ask for the one and two vote, I forget what the numbers reflected.
And yeah, we're done with Andrew Callahan, but it's just very funny where that rabbit hole went from Crowder to...
Crowder to Callahan.
And now you know how it happened.
Let me go to Rumble and just make sure I haven't missed anything here before we go.
In the Belfry says, two to two, bored now.
Viva, thank you for today.
Also, I appreciate that you finally found hair conditioner and a comb.
See you best all the soon.
People, stay tuned for some big news.
I don't know if we're going to have a sidebar tonight.
I don't know that we have a guest.
I'm going to see if we haven't found a guest.
So there may or may not be one tonight.
I'll be live tomorrow.
Good stuff coming next week and big in-person live interview coming in locals at the very least February 3rd for sure.
And it's going to be big.
And we're going to work out the kinks.
Everybody who's been watching the in-studio live interviews, it's a learning curve.
We're all learning.
We've had kinks the first and second time.
Third time's a charm.
We're going to get it all done properly and it's going to be the next best thing.
And let me know what you think.
I do genuinely open to constructive criticism.
I know my weaknesses and I know my strengths.
But if I can improve, I'd like to know.
So I'm always open to constructive criticism.
But with that said, we're going to end it for the day.
And we're going to end it on something cool.
We were out and about.
What I love is people take for granted the Florida wildlife, the ponds here.
Wherever I go, you see these ponds.
It's fun to walk around these ponds because there's life that you can't imagine in these ponds.
And I was at one the other day, and I saw something in the water.
And I said, I'm going to catch that.
So I took my socks off, and the rest is history.
And I'll show you that to play us out today, people.
I'm going to go to Rumble, just make sure that I haven't missed anything.
Everybody?
Maybe we'll get someone from Davos.
No, but it'll be too late.
We'll figure it out.
If there's no sidebar tonight, miscusi, mea culpa.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you for being here.
And above all else, this is the white pill before we go out.
When Alex Jones is more white-pilled than Alex Stein, I think that's a white pill for everybody.
Alex Jones, who has been right, he's been wrong about some big things that have cost him everything.
He has been more right than most people and way earlier than most people.
He's optimistic.
Alex Stein is not so optimistic about waking people up and changing people's behavior.
But when Jones is, I mean, that's something of a sign of optimism.
It's no longer like, they're not coming from my brain, they're not putting in rice chips in my body.
It's not all bad news.
It seems that social awareness at large is changing and changing for the better.
So let's keep it up in a peaceful, in a manner that will not allow our ideological adversaries to say, I told you so.
The rabble cannot be controlled.
The rabble are uncontrollable animals who need to be punished and...
They need to submit to our powers because they can't be trusted to act on their own.
Conduct yourselves with optimism and with faith, but not passive faith.
And conduct yourselves in a manner that would make your parents, your children, and your pets proud, and you can do no wrong.
And do not give them the excuse that they want and that they need in order to continue doing what they're doing.
Now, with that said, everybody, where is the video?
Enjoy this.
And I've been told to watch out doing it, but I'm looking out for alligators wherever I go, but check this out.
It's recording.
It's recording.
enjoy the day it's today's
foreign This is a plico.
This is a plico.
Get in close to this.
Look at this beautiful, absolutely prehistoric animal.
Hold on, get it from here.
Get it from the side.
Look at this.
This is not even hurting it, but this is...
Feel...
Touch the outside of its skin.
Don't touch the spikes.
It's rock hard.
Okay, this is not an alligator garb.
How did you get this?
Okay, well, I'm going to put it back here.
So check this out.
Watch this, watch this.
Okay.
Okay, watch it.
Watch it.
Watch it.
There you go.
It's off.
And now it's going to stay.
It's going to stay.
That's so cool.
Wait, why isn't this like another type of play, though?
Uh, what?
Okay, wait.
It's going to go back here.
Hold on.
There you go.
Now it's going to go back into it.
So look at that.
Look at that.
It's not the alligator spotted gar, but we might still get one on the other side of this pond.
called a pleat with my bare hands and it's not even going it's just it likes me it's actually oh Oh, bye.
Yes!
Yes!
