Time Text
All volunteers.
Thank you.
The honourable member for Vancouver Kingsway.
Mr. Speaker, the world just marked Earth Day and Canadians understand that climate change is an existential crisis.
But our actions have not met our aspirations or the urgency required.
We must significantly reduce our fossil fuel usage.
A clear majority of Canadians want the oil and gas sector to do its fair share.
Oil and gas accounts for just 5% of our economy, yet is responsible for 26% of Canada's emissions.
That's more than any other sector.
Where do we even start with this buffoonery?
Let's finish it before we get into it.
To meet our targets, Canada must reduce emissions 60% below 2005 levels by 2030.
By 2030?
This transition will lower household energy costs, create more sustainable jobs, and allow us to reach our climate targets for the first time in history.
To do so requires a hard, legislated cap on oil and gas emissions in Canada.
I urge this government to hold the oil and gas sector to these necessary and urgent targets.
Our planet's health and that of all species living on it depend on it.
Of Canadian politics.
First of all, this looks like a Monty Python skit.
This guy, oh my goodness.
This is a Monty Python skit.
Let's start from the beginning and just identify the rubbish.
All volunteers, thank you.
First of all, the speaker is very performative.
For Vancouver Kingsway.
Mr. Speaker, the world just marked Earth Day, and Canadians understand that climate change is an existential crisis.
Canadians understand that climate change is an existential crisis.
He's telling us what Canadians understand.
Why?
The dog's barking.
because he's going to tell us what Canadians know.
But our actions have not met our aspirations or the urgency required.
We must significantly reduce our fossil fuel usage.
A clear majority of Canadians want the oil and gas sector to do its fair share.
Why?
Because the oil and gas sector, it's the number one emitter industry.
Oil and gas accounts for just 5% of our economy, yet is responsible for 26% of Canada's emissions.
That's a wonderful...
What else would be responsible for Canada's emissions?
Oil and gas, 5% of the economy, what did he say, 26% of the emissions?
What else would be accountable for emissions in Canada?
Lawyers practicing law?
They do emit a lot of hot air, just not the same type of emissions.
Does everybody know what percentage of global emissions...
Come from Canada.
Let's just assume we agree on the premise.
We don't.
Let's just agree for the sake of argument that global emissions, that carbon emissions, CO2 emissions, whatever, emissions are the and the only problem.
What percentage of global emissions come from Canada?
Take a guess while I let the dog in the room.
Hold on.
Excuse me.
What's the guess?
1.5 of global emissions are Canadian.
We have a winner.
It might be between 1. It's under 2. It's between 1.8 and 1.5.
Let me just bring up a little chart.
It'll help us understand.
It'll help us understand the lies when you hear them.
And the buffoonery, the absolute buffoonery of this policy that's being pushed, not just in Canada, but...
In Canada in particular.
How do we want to organize the chart, people?
Do we want to go by the share of the world's emissions?
Let's do that.
Oh, I should have asked before.
China.
China.
30% of global emissions come from China.
But that sounds bad if you want to blame China.
But if you want to blame the United States, well, you see, what you got to do there, then, is not go by global emissions because the United States is number two on global emissions.
Still bad, but, you know, it's a big country.
It's not quite as big as China because it only has 360-some-odd million people compared to China's 2 billion, compared to India, which actually has the least, not the least, but number three.
So, you know, China emits 30% of global emissions, but that's not so bad because per capita, Look at that.
Per capita, they're better than America.
Look at Canada.
Per capita, Canada's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Per capita, not only do we emit under 2%, almost 2% global emissions, per capita, we're terrible.
I mean, it might have something to do with a sparsely populated country that is massive in landmass, and therefore it might require, you know, transportation of goods, etc., etc.
But if we really want to say how bad Canada, say how bad the United States is, go per capita.
Canada's worse than the United States.
Canada is responsible for 1.8% of global emissions.
1.8% of global emissions.
One quarter of our total emissions come from oil and gas.
So let's go ahead and cripple Canadian society.
Let's go ahead and cripple the Canadian economy by compelling oil and gas to reduce its emissions.
Because you're going to reduce the 1.8% of global emissions, even if you could wipe it off the map and Canada emits zero.
You know what you've done for global emissions?
You've reduced them by 1.8%.
You know what is going to happen?
Nothing.
Because China is still going to sit out there polluting, emitting, assuming that's the cause, more than anybody else, pretty much combined.
But let's go ahead and cripple Canada so that we can cut a quarter of our 1.7% of global emissions.
And by the way, what's going to end up having to happen?
Oh, I don't know.
We're just going to have to end up buying oil the same way they've been doing.
You'll go to Venezuela, go to Saudi Arabia.
Hey, maybe we'll even go to Russia and buy some.
Oh, no, we don't do that.
We don't support that tire.
We'll just go buy it from Venezuela, Saudi Arabia.
Oh, mama, mama, mama mia, mamacita.
We're being governed by idiots.
Idiots.
Hypocrites, liars, gaslighters.
Oh.
Anyways, that's it.
I wanted to start on something innocuous.
Something not related to what we're going to talk about today.
Oh, Canadian trees reduce far more than 2%.
Can you imagine the idea?
We emit 1.8% of global emissions, even assuming emissions are the be-all and end-all of climate change.
Let's go cripple the Canadian economy.
Let's cripple the Canadian people.
Let's put ourselves in a position where we're forced to basically buy from tyrants who pollute for us.
It'll make us feel good because we won't pollute here.
The electric vehicles, setting aside the fact that what powers those vehicles in Canada might be hydro dams that are flooding native territory, poisoning natives with mercury poisoning because the fish that live in these flooded lands that leach out all the mercury from the flooded trees, they then, in turn, Get absorbed by the fish, which get eaten by the natives and then pollute and poison.
Forget that.
We don't care about that.
Let's go outsource all of our pollution to Africa, South America.
And then let's get those batteries and let's get all that vehicle stuff over here by, you know, freight liners.
But let's just paralyze the Canadian oil and gas industry because it's only 5% of the economy, but it represents 26% of emissions, which represent 1.8% of globalization.
Okay, what do we have on the menu today, people?
Before we get into it, standard disclaimers.
No medical advice.
No election fornification advice.
No legal advice.
Ever.
These things right here.
What is that?
Czechoslovakian?
Please have Stefan Molyneux, a fellow Canadian for the sidebar.
It could be very interesting.
In as much as I've heard terrible things about Stefan Molyneux, I don't think I've ever heard...
I don't think I've heard terrible things come out of him.
The degree of the demonization of Stefan Molyneux, and I don't know all of his content, does not seem to be correlative to the degree of...
His badness.
I remember seeing some stuff which was philosophy once upon a time.
Could be interesting.
Wouldn't say no, even if he were in fact a bad person.
If he's a bad person with bad ideas, give those bad person and bad ideas the sunlight that they deserve and people will come to their own minds.
That is a good segue into, however, the...
Hold on, QFrager.
I said I have not heard terrible things.
Oh, that's right.
I was going to say...
Jeez, Louise, I'm getting distracted.
Super Chats and Rumble Rants.
We should be simultaneously streaming on Rumble.
And I forgot to bring up the screen, so let me see that we are right now.
Hold on one second.
YouTube has these things called Super Chats and Rumble has the equivalent called Rumble Rants, or as I like to say, Rumble Rants.
YouTube takes 30% of all of those...
Tips that you see.
So if you want to support me and support what I do, best way to do it, go over to Rumble.
They have the thing called Rumble Rants.
They ordinarily take 20%, but for the rest of the year, they're taking 0%.
100% goes to the creator.
At the end of the year, they'll take back their 20%.
But it's good for the creator for this year.
It's driving traffic over there, so people are going to get used to Rumble, get used to going to Rumble, get used to Rumble as the actual competitor for YouTube.
And then...
When Rumble goes back to taking their 20%, they'll be taking a 20% of a bigger pie because they'll have gotten people over there, but it's better to support a platform that supports free speech, better for the creator.
And the other thing I was going to say is that we're also simultaneously streaming on vivabarneslaw.locals.com, and we're good.
Okay, good.
Everything's good there.
If you want to go to vivabarneslaw.locals.com, the link is there.
You can become a member.
You don't have to pay to do that.
Or you can become one of them paying supporters.
If you like what I do with Robert Barnes, $7 a month, $70 a year, or more.
Actually, people do pay more than the minimum because they so like what we do and they so want to continue to ensure that we can continue doing what we do without being beholden to the machine and without being stifled by the machine.
That machine being YouTube, beholden to...
Advertisers, which we're not, even though I have advertisers, no one's going to tell me what to say and no one's going to say, could you run us in an episode where you're not talking about transgender stuff or where you're not talking about Fox News?
That doesn't happen.
And if that does happen and if it comes with a you-have-to-do-this-but, then it doesn't come at all.
Tonight, today, this afternoon, Ray Epps, sweet, merciful goodness.
It's crazy.
We're living through absolute clown world times.
60 minutes.
It's not just that they're running cover for Ray Epps.
You all know what Operation Mockingbird was.
I saw, I think it was, was it XP?
What was his name in the beginning here?
Oh yeah, Real Hydro XP knows what Operation Mockingbird was.
Basically intelligence infiltrating media.
New York Times in particular, to control narrative and to have media act as the mouthpiece, the spokesperson, the press secretary for the military, for intelligence.
60 Minutes, what they're doing with Ray Epps just doesn't make sense.
We're going to get to it.
Tucker Carlson, he was fired.
He was let go yesterday.
It's been the rage of the day.
I've been listening to everybody to get the best understanding for what's going on.
I think I understand it now.
I listened to Stephen Crowder this morning.
Watched a highlight from Jimmy Dore.
Have my own memory as well.
I think I understand what's going on.
And what else was there?
There was one other thing which was fun.
Justin Trudeau.
This morning, I spent all morning going to pull up clips, highlights, to illustrate what a disgusting, Shameless.
Remorseless, really.
Gaslight or Just Intuitous.
I will not play the entire thing.
I think most of you probably have already seen it.
I'll just play a little bit of it because it's...
I'll give you the link.
Share it away.
May we never forget.
And with any luck, may we never have to live through this again, but I'm not sure about that.
Look at this.
Hold on a second.
Right here.
Right here.
Check this out.
I'll only play a minute.
I want to end today by speaking directly to kids once again.
I know many of you are in virtual school again.
Many of you have made more sacrifices over Christmas, over the holidays, not seeing your friends, not seeing your loved ones.
This is not easy.
And I know almost half of kids across this country have gotten their vaccine from ages 5 to 12. There are people who've probably gotten very sick from vaccinations.
We know there is a risk, a very small risk, one in 5,000 that may get myocarditis, for example.
We need to get more, so please ask your parents if you can get vaccinated.
Getting vaccinated protects yourself, protects your family, protects your grandparents, protects vulnerable people.
Was the Pfizer COVID vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus?
Before it entered the market.
Did we know about stopping humanisation before it entered the market?
No!
We had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market.
Thank you.
I'm on mute.
We really had to...
Move at the speed of science in order to understand what was taking place in the market.
Hmm.
That's very interesting.
It's interesting.
What the hell is the interplay between the market and science?
I'll tell you what it is.
Nothing.
There is no interplay.
Except for the fact that the market dictates the science and they basically admitted it.
Oh.
Did we test for inoculation?
No!
No!
We had to move at the speed of science to really understand what the market was doing.
It goes on for another five minutes.
It's gaslighting like they're telling you, do not believe your own eyes.
They're telling you, I've said it before, I've said it a couple of times and it'll be a good segue into one element here.
Some people hypothesize that the last straw...
Or I should say, le gout d 'eau qui a fait déborder la vase, the last drop of water that overflowed the vase in French.
The straw that broke the camel's back in taking down or breaking apart the Soviet Union was Chernobyl.
Where you had people dying, radiation poisoning up the wazoo.
And you had the government saying, there's no radiation, there's no deformations, there's no death.
You're imagining it.
You're totally healthy and there's no radiation.
And people are like...
We're dying, our babies are deformed, and you're telling us it's nothing.
Like, we're entering the realm now where Justin Trudeau verbatim said we're not the type of country that makes vaccinations mandatory.
Six months later, when he runs for office, he says, I believe vaccinations should be mandatory for plane and train travel.
We live in a world where they said safe and effective, and then...
Anthony Housefather, two months ago, comes up and says, the pharma companies never really did these kind of tests.
You know, ordinarily it takes years to get to market.
They did things totally differently.
They rushed things.
They rushed production.
They weren't willing to put their product on the market without immunization from liability.
Oh, but we always told you there were risks.
Justin Trudeau said that I'm sure a lot of people got sick from the V. Oh, my goodness.
Go watch it and share it.
It's on YouTube.
It's on Rumble.
It's on Twitter.
It's on Instagram.
Share it.
May the world never forget and may the world never let Justin Trudeau forget.
But...
We're being told not to believe our own eyes, but it makes sense because we are living in a world that is ushering in communism.
That's not...
What's this one?
No, no, no.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
In the Soviet Union after Chernobyl, they're like, it's nothing.
It's fine.
It's all in your head.
When you get...
When you get...
Joe Biden.
There was another thing that the Soviets actually did.
They thought the Soviets, Marxists, communists had the idea that a parent's love for their child was irrational.
And therefore, in a meaningful sense, the state would not have irrational love for the children like the parents would for their own children, but the state would have rational love.
And in that sense, the state was more able to raise, educate or indoctrinate children because of the absence of this irrational love that a parent has for their children.
They're communists are right.
Marx was right.
A parent's love for their child is irrational.
And that's what makes them the only person capable of raising that child.
I'm sure, you know, adoptive parents can also have that love.
But growing up, my father always told us there is In fact, only one, two people on earth that you can always know have your best interest in heart and even above and beyond your own perceived best interest for yourself because more often than not, an individual is incapable of objectively viewing what is in their own best interest.
That would be your parents.
You know when you have proper parents, they would sacrifice their lives for you.
They know you better than you know you because they were They were witnessing your development before you even knew you were developing.
And you can rest assured in the ordinary run of things that your parents are the only ones who truly and unequivocally want what's best for you, more so than even yourself.
Then we've got to hear Joe Biden say things like this.
Rebecca put a teacher's creed into words when she said, there's no such thing as someone else's child.
No such thing as someone else's child.
Our nation's children are all our children.
Rebecca put a teacher's creed into words when she said, there's no such thing as someone else's child.
No such thing as someone else's child.
Our nation's children are all our children.
Do you get to shower with the nation's children, Joe?
That's communism.
It is actual verbatim.
Now, I don't know the full context in which he said that.
Maybe he came out immediately afterwards and said, but that's not America.
That's not individual responsibility.
It's not the state's right or obligation to interfere with parenting rights.
I don't know.
Maybe he did say that.
But he didn't.
In a world where, coming out of Quebec, where the state now says, we determine what's in the best interest of the child above and beyond that of the parents in the case of the Youth Protection Act.
In the States, where they're saying, we're going to teach your kids at school stuff that we might not even tell the parents.
We're going to engage in indoctrination.
There's no other word for it.
We might engage with gender ideology with your child and not even tell you.
Because we're the teachers.
You're just the irrational parents who don't know what's best for your children.
We're the professionals here.
I'm not going to argue with you, Red Melangenic, because you might know more about fascism than me.
But no, it's semantics.
We understand.
It's fascism.
It's communism.
It's Marxism.
It's totality.
You know what it is?
It's the state interfering in and replacing the most intimate aspects of civilian life.
It's the state thinking it's your daddy.
You know, Justin Trudeau in the montage.
I don't think I included that part in the montage where he says, It was my obligation to keep Canadians as safe as possible.
The government's obligation is to basically leave us alone and to do that which is essential and the least of it.
I made a joke.
Not to make a joke.
I made merch.
Hold on.
Let me bring this up.
Because, you know, when you do something funny and you know how people are going to respond here.
Hold on.
Let's just get here.
Here we go.
Taxation isn't theft.
It's armed robbery.
I don't know if I made it up.
I think I did.
At vivafry.com.
You can get some merch.
And there's a...
I made a bumper sticker.
Taxation isn't theft.
It's armed robbery.
First of all, it's a joke to some extent.
But it's not really a joke to another extent.
But what about my roads and my hospitals?
You know what?
I mean, first of all, go to Quebec.
Anybody says, taxation's not fair.
Go to Quebec, see the potholes, see the infrastructure that's collapsing, despite the fact that they take 50 cents on every dollar and then some.
Collapsing infrastructure, potholes on the roads, constant construction.
You go to the ER, you'll wait for 8 to 12 hours, and in Nova Scotia, you'll die in the ER.
They had like 586 people die in the ER in 2022 in Nova Scotia.
That's a small province.
So, oh, what about my essential, you know, structure stuff and hospitals and police?
Well, first of all, we pay up the wazoo and they don't even do that properly with that which they take.
And it's like, it's over 50% in Quebec and Canada for those who pay taxes.
You figure, like, if you make $100,000 a year, you're paying basically $40,000 in tax?
Then you got to pay 15% sales tax on everything you buy.
Then if you buy a home, you have your welcome tax, which is basically an FU tax.
Oh, up the wazoo.
And then what do you get for it?
You get crappy services.
In the States, people have this wild idea of the utopia of universal healthcare in Canada.
It's pretty crappy.
I don't know that you have Americans fleeing to Canada to try to get into the system there, but what I can tell you that you do have is Canadians fleeing Canada to go to the Mayo Clinic.
They come to the States and they pay cash out the wazoo to get treatment that they can't get in Canada.
But yeah, Joe Biden, your kids aren't your kids and we're going to take them.
They can come play with the curly hair on my legs.
And I'm going to tell them what's good for them.
And if you tell your kid who thinks that they want to lop off their genitalia that they can't, well, I'll tell you what.
All right.
Do we do Tucker Carlson on YouTube or Rumble?
Let me see what we've got here.
So we've got Tucker Carlson and we've got Ray Epps.
And then some other stuff.
Okay, let's do Ray Epps on YouTube.
We'll start a bit on YouTube.
We're going to do the Adam Kinzinger Shakespearean defense of Ray Epps.
And then we're going to go over to Rumble for the rest of it.
I don't want to play the 60-minute stuff.
Let me just get the...
Let me get...
Tabarnouche.
Oh, hold on.
Where is it?
Oh, here we go.
Here we go.
Okay.
Oh, now why'd this...
Okay, we're going to share this.
Adam Kinzinger has lost his flippant mind.
I mean, it's fun and it's annoying and at some point it gets a little tiresome.
If 60 Minutes is running cover...
For Ray Epps, Adam Kinzinger is like the guy in the front.
I can't think of an analogy.
Remember who Adam Kinzinger was, is.
He was the bipartisan delegate of the January 6th committee, arguably unlawfully formed because it never met the required quorum to do what it was supposed to do.
He was allegedly the Republican.
The GOP bipartisan element along with Liz Cheney of the January 6th committee.
The January 6th committee investigated for two years before putting out their primetime propaganda montages of video evidence that represented Less than 1% of the video footage they had.
In fact, segue into Tucker Carlson, one of the reasons that people hypothesized Tucker Carlson got fired from Fox News was because of his January 6th coverage.
That was Rupert Murdoch's, you know, allegedly his explanation.
Adam Kinzinger was on that committee.
That committee did not reveal, did not disclose, did not publish tens of thousands of hours of what we now know was Wildly exculpatory video evidence as relates to the QAnon shaman, etc., etc.
But when it comes to Ray Epps, when it comes to Ray Epps, Adam Kinzinger's defense of Ray Epps just makes no sense, but it makes total sense, and I'll tell you why in a second.
So Adam Kinzinger, these are from a couple of days ago.
Why are we defending Ray Epps, who was at January 6th?
Because it exposed the lies and sickness of people like Rep.
Thomas Massey, Ted Cruz, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Matt Gaite.
First of all, you have a mixed metaphor there, Kinzinger, but not that I'm one to complain.
Why are we defending Ray Epps?
First of all, thank you for confirming that you're defending Ray Epps, Kinzinger.
For those of you who have forgotten, Ray Epps, you're going to see the video in a second, Ray Epps is the guy on camera the night before telling a group of kids that they have to go into the Capitol.
And when he tells the group of kids that they need to go into the Capitol, they immediately spontaneously begin chanting, Fed, Fed, Fed, because only someone who is clearly mentally unhinged or a Fed...
Would be telling people to go basically go into the Capitol.
It was so obvious that the crowd started chanting it spontaneously.
He's the guy that's on camera the day of entering restricted areas, breaking the law, trespassing.
He's the guy who, in his own text messages to his son, confirmed that he orchestrated The whole thing.
He might have been taking a little bit too much credit.
He confirmed that he had a hand in orchestrating the events of January 6th.
He was the guy that was on the FBI's most wanted list for a day, a week, I forget which, and then magically disappeared from the FBI's most wanted list.
He's the only guy on camera committing a crime, admitted to committing a crime, everybody knows he committed the crime, who did not get convicted.
He didn't even get charged.
He's the only guy that Adam Kinzinger is defending.
Why is Adam Kinzinger defending Ray Epps?
Because it exposed the lies and sickness.
That makes no sense.
But it doesn't matter.
Okay, let's close that one down.
What else did he say that he...
Oh, look at this gem.
Adam Kinzinger.
The bipartisan element of the January 6th committee.
People like Tucker Carlson.
This was before Tucker Carlson got fired.
Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rep Massey, and Ted Cruz owe Ray Epps an apology and quite honestly some money for destroying his life.
And quite honestly some money.
Adam Kinzinger replied to Thomas Massey.
Massey said, Ray Epps is the only person I've seen on video January 5th and January 6th urging and directing people to go into the Capitol.
In a text message on January 6th, he bragged that he orchestrated it.
Why do Democrats and the media portray him as a victim?
So bizarre.
To which Adam Kinzinger, because he's a very smart man, says, I hope he sues you.
You have ruined a man's life who trusted you.
You're a sick man.
What the flip is going on in Adam Kinzinger's head?
First of all, Kinzinger.
Let me just make sure.
Is this the last one?
Then we just get him retweeting some other stuff.
First of all, Kinzinger, I hope he sues you.
Sues you for what?
Rayefs is the only person he's seen on January 5th and January 6th urging and directing people to go into the Capitol.
That's true.
In a text message on January 6th, he bragged that he orchestrated it.
That's true.
What could he get sued for, Kinzinger?
Do tell.
You know what the ultimate defense to any claim for defamation is?
Truth.
Truth is the absolute, except in Quebec, actually.
Some of you may already know this if you've been around the channel for long enough.
In Quebec, something can be defamatory, even if it's true, if it's told with the intent to damage someone's reputation.
Go figure.
This was from a Supreme Court decision involving a notary.
I forget the details.
The court came to the conclusion that although the contents of the letter were accurate, the contents of the publication were accurate, it was done in such a way to damage the reputation of the individual.
Therefore...
Quebec is a unique province.
It always has been.
They're very proud of it.
So elsewhere in the rest of Canada and the United States, truth is the absolute defense.
And what Rep Massey said is 1,000% true.
But this is the most bizarre part of it.
Can I highlight?
No, I can't.
You have ruined a man's life who trusted you.
Let's appreciate what he just said there.
Kinzinger is accusing...
Or is suggesting that Ray Epps trusted Thomas Massey.
Why on earth would Kinzinger assume that Ray Epps trusted another politician?
What's the principle, people?
Confession through projection.
Accus your enemies of doing what you are doing so as to create confusion.
What do I take away from that?
This is my personal opinion.
I do not know if it's true or not true, but I strongly suspect operating on the basis...
Of the time-tested-and-true principle of projection, the reason why Adam Kinzinger assumes that Ray Epps trusts or accuses him of trusting Massey is because he knows that Ray Epps or thinks that Ray Epps trusts him because I suspect, it's not a wild guess, I suspect the committee made certain assurances, promised certain things to Ray Epps.
I don't know.
In exchange for what?
Who knows?
Maybe it was in exchange for him being there in the first place.
Hey, Ray Epps, go in there and stir up some shit, and we promise you you'll never get arrested.
Trust us.
Go in there, stir up the crowd so we can use it against Donald Trump for a second impeachment.
We will protect you.
Trust us.
The accusation that Ray Epps would trust anybody in politics, other than being outlandish in that Politicians are just untrustworthy.
With the exception of Maxime Bernier, that's my personal bias or favorite.
Take it or leave it.
Maxime Bernier, the PPC.
The idea that any citizen would trust a member of government, a politician, I mean, that's delusional on its face.
But I genuinely believe, in my humble opinion, warranties and assurances were given to Ray Epps.
And that is the reason for which...
Kinzinger is attributing trust as an underlying motive to Ray Epps.
All right.
Well, that's Kinzinger's part in all of this.
Now, what we're going to do...
Oh, we got two Rumble rants.
Hold on a second.
Let me do this here.
Oh, first of all, hit the plus button on Rumble, because apparently that does boost the stream in the algorithm.
And we can get onto the cover page.
I love getting onto the cover page.
Hold on.
Let me just go to that here.
So what we're going to do this, I'm going to give you the link to Rumble and we're going to go there now.
Hit the thumbs up thingy thing.
Let me see what we're at.
It's a plus button on Rumble.
Okay, we're at 369 thumbs up for 4,200 viewers.
That's good.
All right.
Before we go over to Rumble, I'm going to read these two Rumble rants.
Rumble rants.
Stop moving camera.
Let's go here.
Let's go here.
And let's see what these are.
Boom shakalaka to tone.
Tatones.
If Kryon Adams' argument was true, that Ray Epps was just a standard MAGA terrorist, being falsely accused by other MAGA terrorists, would he be happy they're eating their own?
None of it makes sense, but the only reason it makes sense is because they're defending one of their own, and they're doing it, this is my underlying theory, they're doing it in such an outrageous, in-your-face, that's-not-radiation, Chernobyl-like manner, They're doing it that way to enrage people, to draw the ire of people on Ray Epps again.
Because if 60 Minutes had just left Ray Epps alone, it's not that the story would die off, but the fervor would certainly not be what it is today.
But for 60 Minutes, coming here and telling us that Ray Epps is an innocent bystander, he only wanted to make the peace, and we're going to get to it.
But for 60 Minutes, stirring the pot again, I don't think people would be talking about Ray Epps right now.
But exact same thing with Brandy.
The Drozny's Tiffany Dover is Dead miniseries.
But for the fact that NBC kept on talking about Tiffany Dover a year and a half, two years later, no one would have been talking about it.
Certainly not to the extent that they are now.
They revive the conspiracy theory so they can then go make fun of the people who are talking about the conspiracy theory.
They revive the conspiracy theory so they can get those.
Who were involved in it in the first place or, you know, a new batch of people to go bother the individual so they can then say, look at this rabble are going and harassing this innocent victim of a conspiracy theory with Tiffany Dover and with Ray Epps now.
60 Minutes is deliberately stirring the pot.
There's no question about it.
They're deliberately selling an unbelievable story to the general public knowing...
The outrage that it's going to cause because they want it to cause that outrage.
Furby Slayer, 40-plus agents infiltrating the Proud Boys.
A number of agents, quote, working the crowd, end quote, that they refused to disclose.
It was all a Fed operative.
And Daddy Crab says, I like your shirt, Viva.
You can get this at vivafry.com as well.
My prediction in December 2022 that the conspiracy theory to be confirmed in 2023 was that January 6th was an inside job.
And not an inside job.
It sounds so crazy, but it's 1000% true.
It was an orchestrated event.
It was an instigated event, and then it was a, what's the word I'm looking for?
Not a weaponized, but a politically exploited event.
It's not just that they had FBI and intelligence infiltrating the Proud Boys by those proceedings.
It's confirmed now.
They had intelligence, FBI, whomever, Informants, having infiltrated the Proud Boys, I mean, it's how they got their convictions for seditious conspiracy, because they had infiltrated the alleged plot of seditious conspiracy in advance.
They did the same thing with the Oath Keepers.
Intelligence had infiltrated this seditious conspiracy plot, and yet somehow nobody knew what was going to happen on January 6th.
Yet somehow they say, we were so unprepared, we didn't know what was going to happen.
We had not enough cops because of COVID.
We turned down the National Guard because...
We didn't want it.
We didn't think we needed it.
We had bike racks.
Who could have ever known?
Let's be honest.
It was weaponized, too, for sure.
I think it was absolutely facilitated by not having enough police officers, knowing damn well that intelligence and informants were involved with, I would say even in trapping, but involved with the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.
They knew it was coming.
They were deliberately understaffed.
They were deliberately antagonizing the mob.
Deliberately firing pepper spray, whatever, into the crowd.
And then it wasn't even as bad as they needed it to be.
So they lied about deaths resulting from the mob, Brian Sicknick.
They lied about deaths that occurred the day of.
They said, you know, some people got...
There were five deaths that day.
One of which was at the hands of the cops, objectively.
Ashley Babbitt.
Roseanne Boylan, arguably also at the hands of the cops because there is a theory that she was either struck or stampeded.
There were three deaths which were medical emergencies.
When you have hundreds of thousands of people, things happen.
They tried to attribute police officers' deaths to it, suicides in the wake of it.
But they didn't know what was possibly going to go on.
They didn't know what was possibly going to happen.
Agent provocateur.
And now we know that they had people on the ground.
Agent provocateur.
And they won't tell us how many.
Okay.
Head on over to Rumble, people.
There are 1,597 people on YouTube.
Let's do it.
Rumble.
And then afterwards, we're going to have the après.
The après-stream party at viverbeursle.locals.com.
Okay.
Maureen Brown.
Hold on, let me see this here.
I was watching Bannon's show on that day.
I knew in my gut what was going on then.
Once you see truth, it's near impossible to not see it all the time.
Remember, Barnes and I went live that day.
Barnes and I went live that evening.
He was in D.C., but not at the Capitol.
And Jones was there, and he said, don't go to the Capitol.
It's a setup.
Dude, the writing was on the wall for those who have seen it before.
Like Jones says, you know...
Hey, they use the same tactics over and over again.
Okay, hold on a second.
Let me just freeze this camera.
Insta, let me go to the app.
Okay, hold on, let me get it here.
Okay, and then stop moving.
Okay, there we go.
Good.
I'm still getting emails from Project Veritas, and I don't want them.
Hold on, what was this?
Can I see this yet?
By allowing January 6th to happen, it allows the government knows there was no real threat.
Well, by allowing January 6th to happen, it allows for the same type of...
Post-9-11 investigations into domestic terrorists and domestic threats.
And it gives the government all the power in the world to do whatever it wants.
Okay, go over to Rumble.
Ending on YouTube in 3, 2, 1. So Kinzinger is running the most incomprehensible defense for Ray Epps.
But my theory is...
They made him promises.
He was given assurances from day one because I do genuinely believe he was an agent provocateur.
What he is on camera having suggested, having done, it's not even something that the most diehard MAGA supporter, and I'm using that tongue-in-cheek, that the most diehard Trump supporter would have ever done.
Even Jacob Angeli, the QAnon shaman, is on camera saying, Trump said to go home.
We're going home.
And some people in the crowd were saying, F you, we're not going home.
And he said, you do whatever the F you want to do.
We're going home.
We are the party of law and order.
We are the party.
We're going.
Even the QAnon shaman, who, by the way, is sitting in jail for four and a half years now, having done less than what Ray Epps is on camera having done, even the QAnon shaman was saying, we're not doing this.
Trump said to go.
We're going.
So, there's no question when Kinzinger starts talking about trust, that any trust that Ray Epps has in anybody, it's because he does have trust in the people who said, do what you do, we're not going to come after you.
All right.
60 minutes.
60 minutes is the most outrageous thing I've ever seen.
Let's just go right here.
60 minutes.
We'll just call them 60 Mockingbirds.
I'm reading their tweet.
In conservative media, Ray Epps is a notorious villain responsible for turning the protests on January 6th into a riot.
That's a straw man because he's not responsible for it.
He just partook in it and participated in it and he himself took credit for it.
It is a convoluted conspiracy theory.
No, it's not.
And it's a convoluted conspiracy theory.
He denies.
It's on camera, you freaking buffoons!
And I'll show it.
Don't worry, I'll show you.
Revolver did...
Oh, Darren Beattie's coming back on this week.
I have to figure out...
It's either tomorrow or the day after.
Darren Beattie of Revolver's coming back on.
We're going to talk about it.
Revolver did the most epic...
I think it was a two- or three-part series breaking down this thing.
There was Scaffold Guy, who apparently has never been found or prosecuted.
Ray Epps.
Who was on the FBI's most wanted list?
And wait until you hear the reason for which 60 Minutes says he's not been prosecuted.
He was on the list, but then they just called up the FBI and said, we're going to cooperate.
And the FBI said, okay, good.
You're off the hook.
It's a convoluted conspiracy theory he denies.
Now he's in hiding, facing death threats.
Bad, bad, categorically bad.
Don't threaten anybody ever.
Period.
And I think most of us know that.
This Sunday, Ray Epps sits down with us.
Did I put the video here?
Thank you.
Who quoted me?
You are not reporting what happened by reporting only part of what happened and deliberately misrepresenting through omission what actually happened.
Doing that actually just makes you a liar.
And your replies eliminate all doubt.
That's a very smart thing that I said.
Thank you for reminding me.
When people think that they...
I happen to know that that individual is...
Someone who thinks that they control me.
But that's a very smart thing that I said.
It's wise beyond my own years.
It's a convoluted conspiracy theory.
It makes no sense.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
Conservatives think that Ray Epps orchestrated January 6th?
It's a convoluted conspiracy theory that he denies.
He denies it.
Into the capitol.
What?
No!
Peacefully!
Fed!
Tomorrow?
I don't even like to say it'cause I'll be arrested.
Well, let's not say it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't want to say it because I'll be arrested.
So here he is now admitting that he knows he's doing something that ordinarily would get the ordinary person arrested.
I mean...
Many of the January 6ers who didn't do anything like this did get arrested.
So he was right.
But he didn't get arrested for some reason.
Why not?
Let me play that part again.
Look at that face.
This is the face of someone who just...
What just happened?
Dude, I'm going...
If there weren't a camera here, oh, I would...
tomorrow I don't even like to say it because I'll be arrested well let's not say it we need to go we need to go in shut the fuck up Boomer to the Capitol I don't know.
These kids are smarter than most people.
It's an amazing thing.
This is a white pill moment, if there is one.
At their age, I wasn't that ahead of the curve, although I don't think the world was what it is now when I was their age, which was 20 years ago.
Maybe even more, maybe 25 years ago.
Fed, fed, I don't even want to say it because I'm going to get arrested.
I know that I'm going to get arrested, and yet I didn't get arrested.
And yet he was telling people to do something that he knew would get them arrested.
It's a convoluted conspiracy theory that he denies.
I didn't see that coming.
Okay.
Monument Hill.
This is the day of, I believe.
Speaking, we are going to the Capitol where our problems are.
It's that direction!
Please spread the word.
All right.
No, Dave, but one more thing.
Can we go up there?
No?
When we go in, leave this here.
Are we going to get arrested if we go up there?
Yeah.
You don't need to.
All right.
All right.
I'm an idiot.
I put it on mute so you wouldn't hear me crunch ice.
Can you believe this guy hasn't been charged?
I know everybody watching now has seen all of this.
Actually, hold on one second.
Who watching this right now has not seen this?
Okay, one, I have never seen this.
Two, I have seen this already.
Who here has not seen this footage yet?
One, I have never seen this footage.
Two, I have seen this footage.
Okay, I'm not muted anymore.
Who here has not seen this footage?
Good.
There's one.
There's one one.
There's two ones.
Three.
Yes!
Oh, people are getting the red pill suppository today, baby.
I'll tell you what.
Okay, so the majority have seen it, but there's a lot of people who haven't.
Let's keep watching.
This is from the Revolvers Exposé.
These are their exhibits.
The number four on the top.
Listen to this.
Let's keep going.
You get shot.
Let's go.
What?
It's a convoluted conspiracy theory.
He denies.
He denies all of that.
I didn't say we should go into the Capitol.
I didn't say...
I mean, it's just, don't believe your lying eyes.
I didn't say go into the Capitol.
I didn't say things that got me called the Fed.
I didn't trespass.
I didn't enter a restricted area.
I deny all of it.
I mean, it's right there on camera, but I deny it.
Now, 60 Minutes, this is their reporting.
At 6 '4", we're going to watch that video in a second.
At 6 '4", Ray Epps stood out from the crowd.
Let me just make sure we're looking at the same thing.
Let me make it big so we can see this.
At 6 '4", he stood out from the crowd on January 6th.
The former Oath Keeper is now the target of a far-right conspiracy theory that he ignited the violence at the Capitol.
Are you fucking kidding me, 60 Minutes?
Like, it's not a conspiracy theory.
The video is there.
He admitted it.
It's just crazy.
It's just crazy.
Epps points to a videotape from the day that shows he was trying to keep the peace.
Oh, let's watch this.
By the way, he stood out because he was 6 '4".
He didn't stand out because he was telling people to storm the Capitol, to go into the Capitol.
He didn't stand out because he was orchestrating where people should go, directing people to the Capitol.
He stood out because he's 6 '4".
If only he were 5 '6", like me, he wouldn't have stood out at all.
I mean, he could have done the exact same thing he did.
At 5 '6", nobody would have cared.
...red Trump hat and military-style backpack.
Ray Epps stood out from the crowd on January 6th.
That's him running toward the U.S. Capitol alongside the vanguard of rioters who first attacked and overran police.
What do you think when you see this now?
brings back some bad memories.
Sorry, no comment.
It's hard to see our Capitol under attack.
Do you understand?
Deception right there?
It's hard to see our Capitol under attack.
Let me dissociate myself from me being there attacking the Capitol.
Or maybe he wasn't because he knew in his heart of hearts he wasn't attacking anything.
He was just orchestrating, provoking it.
It's hard to see our Capitol under attack.
It's hard to see that six-foot-four man with the Trump hat and the military-style backpack storming the Capitol.
More than two years since the storming of the Capitol, but Ray and his wife Robin told us they relive January 6th every day of their lives.
Some people have said, well, just let it go and let it die down.
What they don't understand is it doesn't.
Oh, it doesn't.
So let's do a 60-minute report and tell you that it never happened, even though you're looking at the video footage of it happening.
Exactly was the role of Ray Epps in the chaos of January 6th.
The theory, Epps, a former member of the Oath Keepers, was an FBI informant who incited the crowd on January 6th.
You all do know that there were FBI informants in the Oath Keepers?
I mean, they were infiltrated?
Was it the Oath Keepers or the Proud Boys, where the FBI informants were actually, um...
Having exchanges with defense counsel.
I forget which one, but it's one of those.
Bubbled up from a right-wing news site called Revolver News, run by a former Trump speechwriter.
He's the smoking gun in the entire Fed's erection.
And landed on Fox News primetime.
Unbelievable.
It's crazy.
Like, an actual journalist actually discovered facts and actually reported them, and people actually came to accurate conclusions based on that accurate reporting.
Oh, Mamacita.
It's absolutely crazy.
We're not done yet, people.
I'm only pulling up the highlights.
Let me see here.
Is this one?
No, no, no, no, no.
Justin Trudeau.
This tweet is so dumb.
Oh, according to 60 Minutes.
Let me see here.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Look at this.
Ray Epps.
Let's read the 60 Minutes, how they depict this.
I don't think we're going to watch the whole video.
January 6th protest, Ray Epps says, during the insurrection, he tried to keep the peace?
He's on camera saying we need to go into the Capitol.
I don't even want to say it because I'm going to get arrested.
No, he's trying to keep the peace.
He says he regrets sending a text to a relative that he, quote, orchestrated it.
He claims he was boasting to my, oh, we know what you're doing, and meant he was directing people to the Capitol.
Okay, he was directing people to the Capitol.
Let's hear this.
...committing an act of violence.
Ray Epps was never seen committing an act of violence.
He was seen breaking the law.
Nobody said he committed an act of violence.
Pathological liars in 60 minutes?
Or entering the Capitol.
Entering restricted area is different than entering the Capitol, but he's seen entering a restricted area.
He was past the bike rack.
Told us when he saw the violence, his fervor to enter the building became a desire to play peacemaker.
We need to go into the Capitol.
I don't even want to say it.
Let's make some peace.
Let's make the peace, people.
I'm only there to make peace.
And police body cam video backs him up.
I thought I could stop it.
So I went back and forth.
I thought I could stop it after thinking I could start it.
I thought I could stop it after trying to start it.
People down and work the line back and forth.
Step down.
Is that before or after you told them to go into the Capitol?
If Ray Epps wants to come on my channel for an interview, oh my goodness, it will be totally respectful.
I'll do it in person.
I would just ask these questions, Ray.
So you tried to stop it after you tried to start it?
You tried to tell them to calm down after you told them to go into the Capitol?
You tried to tell them to be peaceful after you told them to do something that you knew would get them arrested?
Now step down, we're good here.
Oh, yeah.
And I kept it that way for quite some time.
Take a step back.
We're holding ground.
We're not trying to get people hurt.
They don't want to get hurt.
You don't want to get hurt.
Back up!
Epps says he left the Capitol grounds to help evacuate an injured man.
The time?
2.54 p.m.
I looked back at the Capitol, and there was people crawling up the Capitol walls, and it looked like, it looked terrible.
Mission accomplished, right, Ray?
I was kind of ashamed of what was going on at that point.
I was ashamed of what was going on at that point when it's exactly what I was egging people on to do.
So I started to walk out.
He told us that...
He was ashamed then.
And then he texted his nephew.
Let's hear this.
When he sent this text to his nephew, conspiracists saw it as the true confession of an agent provocateur.
I was in front with a few others.
I also orchestrated it.
Explain this to me.
I was boasting to my nephew.
He just said he was ashamed.
He just said he was ashamed of what he saw.
And then after being ashamed of what he saw, he goes and boasts to his nephew.
To be a good liar, you have to have a good memory.
And it seems that Ray Epps doesn't have a good memory.
Do we appreciate that?
Critical thinking here?
I saw them crawling up the walls.
I was ashamed of what was going on.
So I went and then boasted to my nephew about it.
I helped get people there.
I was directing people to the Capitol that morning.
You know how this sounds.
I know exactly how it sounds.
I've been scolded by my wife for using that word.
I shouldn't have used that word.
When you add up all of these things, as your critics have done, you've given them a lot of ammunition to paint you as this instigator.
There was an effort.
To make me the scapegoat.
There was an effort to make me the scapegoat.
Hold on, let me just make sure that I heard this properly.
People crawling up the Capitol walls, and it looked terrible.
I mean, I was kind of ashamed of what was going on at that point.
So then I immediately took to my cell phone to boast to my nephew.
So I started to walk out.
He told us that's when he sent this text to his nephew.
The lie doesn't even make sense.
The lie, by their own dishonesty, doesn't make sense.
I was ashamed of what I was looking at.
People climbing the Capitol Wall.
So ashamed, I immediately took to boasting to my nephew.
Oh my goodness.
I think we can only do one or two more things here.
Let's just see here.
After Epps spoke, this is...
Here we go.
What happens here?
What happens on this one?
After Epps spoke with the FBI, the photo was removed from the Bureau's website.
He thought his troubles were over.
So listen to this.
This is, you know, Ray Epps, I am on the FBI's most wanted list.
I'll call them up, I'll cooperate entirely, and they'll just take me off of it and let me go.
When Epps got back to Arizona on January 8th, a relative told him he was on an FBI poster seeking information about certain rioters.
I have a question.
Who at the FBI took his picture off the poster?
I would FOIA all correspondence relating to the decision to remove Epps from the poster.
Who at the FBI?
Why?
We literally hung up the phone and walked right into the house, sat down and called the FBI.
First of all, who has a direct number to the FBI?
Or do they just Google the FBI?
Sounds like they might have a direct line.
You said to the FBI?
Told them who I was and that I would cooperate in any way I could.
I didn't break any laws.
No, that's not true.
That's a filthy lie.
Two months later, he met with agents.
Two months later, he met with agents.
When did they take him off the list?
The next day?
He sees himself on the list.
He calls the FBI.
It sounds like he has a direct line to them.
And two months later, they meet with him.
But in the interim, they take him off the list.
Finally, we're going to clear this up.
There was no, I take the fifth, there was none of that.
It was just like we're talking right now.
I'm sure it was.
I went through everything, and they had a lot of questions.
In the summer of 2021, the FBI took his picture off the Bureau's website.
Epps thought that would end his troubles, but it only added fuel to the conspiracy.
A new piece in Revolver.
Was he the only one that immediately called the FBI?
I can tell you for a fact that he's not the only one that immediately contacted the authorities when they discovered they were in trouble.
News notes that the FBI removed a photo of Ray Epps from its Most Wanted page this summer.
How about the one guy?
Go in, go in.
Get in there, everybody, Epps.
Get in there.
Go, go, go.
Nothing happens to him.
The Epps would dispute that.
Oh, then he gets into how he's been the victim of threats.
You know who else cooperated entirely once they found out there was an issue?
Brendan Strzok would be one.
Brendan Strzok went, immediately called the authorities.
You know what happened to him?
A shit ton more than what happened to Ray Epps.
I forget exactly.
He ended up pleading guilty to a lesser charge, was under three months house arrest, had to pay some sort of fine, I think, for restitution.
Oh, no.
And he didn't even do anything comparable to what Ray Epps did.
Oh, so that's it.
That's all you have to do.
You just have to cooperate with the FBI and all charges would be dropped and you'd have no life-destroying prosecutions.
Oh, someone should tell...
I'm pretty sure Jacob and Jelly and all the other ones cooperated as well.
It doesn't make sense.
Because it doesn't make sense.
Because it can't make sense.
Because it's a poorly thought out lie.
Attempt to spin the unspinnable.
And the only people who are dumb enough to fall for it are the ones who are dumb enough to fall for it.
How's that for a bunch of circular truisms?
Salty Sarge 2021, who's got the little whale emblem, which means that you got the subscription badge, because thank you very much.
Epps is on video shoving.
A huge Trump sign hitting cuffs.
Also working with the bullhorn guy on the scaffolding.
That's in that revolver piece.
You don't have to listen to that because that's revolver.
Oh, this is Andris Burgens says, Fed Epps, Fed Epps, Fed Epps.
Oh, man.
I think he just came through the mirror.
Fraser McBurney says, What evil people wear black?
The Black Prince, the Gestapo.
The Antifa, and sadly, the police.
And then we got $10 from Big Bad Bruh.
Chuck Schumer openly stated he called Rupert Murdoch to silence Tucker's reporting on the January 6th tapes.
Silence.
Taibbi mixes up his acronyms, and they want his head.
And then we got the Furby Slayer, 40 plus ages.
Okay, we got that already.
So, that's it.
This is...
Chernobyl-level propaganda coming from 60 Minutes.
I don't know when these institutions were venerable.
When I was a kid, I remember thinking 60 Minutes was legit investigative stuff, and I'm not sure if it was back then, but it's not now, or if it never was, but I thought it was because I was a dumb kid.
All that to say, the entire Ray Epps story is absolute, thorough bullshit, and the reason why they are stirring this up now and trying to They're going to reinvigorate whatever harassment Ray Epps was getting before that probably quelled off as the story dissipated.
They know that they're reinvigorating all of that, and they're doing it on purpose, possibly with some sick Sorted hope that something bad happens so they can then say, look at this crowd.
They're so bad.
Look what they did to Ray Epps.
Or less sinisterly but equally sinister so that Ray Epps can come out and say, look, I'm getting all this harassment again.
I'm just an innocent victim.
And they knew that it would happen based on what they're doing because what they're trying to do is treat people like idiots by forcing them to believe the unbelievable.
Okay, that's all I have to say on Ray Epps.
Okay, let me go to the chat and see if there's anything in here that I should get to.
Internet provides sunlight to 60 minutes.
1984 today.
Viva.
Interview Tiffany Epps.
I don't know who that is, but I'm going to.
Viva and Tucker go fishing segment when.
Sad wings raging.
Look, that would be super cool.
Fishing with Viva.
It could be like, you know, coffee in the car with Jerry Seinfeld.
Oh, that would be so cool.
Daddy Crab says, if Epps was a true Trump supporter, he'd be in jail.
No question.
Let's tweet that.
Let's see if we...
I've been meaning to charter a boat in Florida to go fishing.
Tucker.
I know you like fishing.
Tucker likes fly fishing because it's relaxing.
It's therapeutic.
I just like catching fish.
Okay.
Speaking of Tucker, people.
Tucker.
I asked a stupid question yesterday with Robert.
We did our analysis yesterday during our Sunday night stream, which was on a Monday night.
My stupid question was, do we know...
Do we know that he was fired or if he quit?
Well, I'm an idiot because if I had seen his last broadcast on Friday night, I would have known that if he knew it was coming, he didn't know it was coming so quickly because he said, you know, enjoy the weekend, see you on Monday, and then they fired him.
And I think he probably would have signed off with something different had he known that he was not going to come back Monday to say his proper goodbye.
So setting that question aside, the question now becomes, how?
And why?
People are hypothesizing.
And there's a number of great theories out there.
My theory now is that Tucker knew it was coming.
He might have had insider information, insider knowledge that the writing was on the wall.
And I think he wanted it.
I think he needed it.
And I think he needed this liberation because, you know the old expression?
It's from Batman.
You die the hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
There's a third option to that.
Neither of those two things happen.
You actually just mature and you realize and you make the move to not die the villain, to not become the villain, and to live, to live a little longer.
So there's a number of clips going viral.
There's a number of theories.
One of the theories is that Tucker Carlson did a bit where he basically called media, and he wasn't talking about Fox News, but I think he was talking about Fox News, as willingly and deliberately harming their own viewer base.
Because they're so beholden to their big pharma sponsors, advertisers.
First of all, Project Veritas, ever since they booted James O 'Keefe, is dead to me.
I've unfollowed them on Twitter.
I don't want to get their emails anymore.
I don't know how to get off their mailing list.
They're dead to me.
Project Veritas.
Fox News is dead to me now.
I'm not even going to Fox News to get news.
I'll go to Daily Caller.
I'll go to any number of other outlets.
Fox News.
Is dead to me.
Oh crap, I lost my thought.
What the heck was I thinking?
Oh, the advertisers.
Fox News, at least the television portion, had been dead to me for a while because I jog on a treadmill, sometimes I get stuck in front of a TV, and the amount of advertising, like commercials, is itself annoying.
Four minutes of commercials every ten minutes on Fox News.
What's more annoying?
And it's like, I can't believe I never noticed it before.
Two of those four minutes are for pharmaceutical companies.
Like, it's always a drug commercial.
Always something.
And then they go through the side effects of the drug.
They do that with all drugs except for the jibby jab.
Fox News had become unwatchable because there's too many commercials, and of those commercials, a striking amount of them are pharmaceuticals.
Fox News is beholden to big pharma.
Period.
Once you understand that, you could digest their news a little more, but a lot of it starts making sense.
Tucker Carlson did a recent bit where he basically called Fox News willing to sacrifice their viewership.
Here we go.
This is it.
From Lee Fang.
Listen to this.
I mean, he's not talking about Fox News, but you know damn well he's talking about Fox News.
Well, here's one measure of their badness.
You can try this at home.
Ask yourself, is any news organization you know of so corrupt that it's willing to hurt you on behalf of its biggest advertisers?
Pharma?
Fox?
Anyone who do that is obviously Pablo Escobar-level corrupt and should not be trusted.
I want to say this right now.
I want to say this right now.
Robert?
VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
I have no insider knowledge of anything.
He seems to have more connections.
He does have more connections.
And he believes, and I think he understands, that there are some people who actually watch our weekly live streams to get a feel for the lay of the land, the populist sentiment, news, interpretations, insights.
Robert always says that Pfizer makes Pablo Escobar look like a corner street criminal.
He should not be trusted.
What would that look like?
That level of corruption.
Well, imagine Pablo Escobar.
That is obviously Pablo Escobar level.
I heard that.
I was like, oh.
I mean, it's an analogy that's easy to use, but let me just live with the thought that Tucker Carlson actually watches me and Robert corrupt and should not be trusted.
What would that look like?
That level of corruption.
Well, imagine that the Trump administration had made it mandatory for American citizens to buy my pillow.
That's one of Fox News' biggest advertisers.
That's one of Fox News' biggest advertisers.
It's not the biggest Fox News advertisers.
I guarantee you, Fox News' biggest advertisers, if not by company, by category, is Big Pharma.
I know it because I see it with my own bloody eyes.
Imagine the administration declared that if you didn't rush out and buy at least one MyPillow, and then at least another booster pillow...
He's not talking about pillows here, people.
What did I do?
Well, here's a measure of that level of corruption.
Well, imagine.
That's one of Fox News' biggest advertisers.
Imagine the administration declared that if you didn't rush out and buy at least one MyPillow, and then at least...
Now, I don't know if I'm projecting.
He looks a little uncomfortable saying what he's saying right now.
Listen to this.
Another booster pillow.
You would not be allowed to eat out.
You couldn't re-enter your own country.
You couldn't have a paying job.
My pillow, they told you with a straight face, was the very linchpin of our country's public health system.
Now imagine as they told you that, that Fox, as a news organization, endorsed it, amplified the government's message.
Am I projecting or does he not actually look a little nervous doing this bit?
He looks like he's taking shallowish breaths, and he has a posture which is different than typical.
I don't know if I'm imagining it.
Let me know.
Imagine if Fox News attacked anyone who refused to buy MyPillow.
He's talking about vaccines.
He's talking about the jab people.
Okay, just so you know.
As an ally of Russia, as an enemy of science.
And then imagine that Fox kept up those libelous attacks, even as evidence mounted that MyPillow caused heart attacks, fertility problems, and death.
What would you have to be doing to a pillow?
I kept joking.
If Fox News did that, what would you think of Fox News?
Would you trust us?
Nope.
Of course you wouldn't.
You would know that we were liars.
Thank heaven, Fox News never did anything like that.
That's tongue-in-cheek right there.
And Rupert Murdoch knows it.
The other channels did.
The other channels took hundreds of millions of dollars from big pharma companies.
And then they shilled for their sketchy products on the air.
And as they did that, they maligned anyone who was skeptical of those products.
At the very least, this was a moral crime.
It was disgusting.
But it was universal.
It happened across the American news media.
They all did it.
Let's just see something.
I'm not convinced that Fox News, Pfizer, sponsor.
Let's just...
Let me see something.
How vaccine companies have bankrolled Fox News' anti-vax insanity.
How vaccine companies have bankrolled it.
I'll look into that later.
I'm thoroughly convinced that...
I mean, I know Fox News runs endless, endless pharma ads.
Endless.
What does the chat think?
Does he look nervous saying that?
He looked nervous saying that.
And it's not just that he said that.
I don't have the bit where he brought RFK Jr. on.
Can you imagine your biggest draw declaring war on your biggest sponsors?
That is what Tucker Carlson did.
He had on RFK, among others, and then basically paints the picture that Fox News is Satan incarnate.
And I've been thinking it for a while now.
Yeah, everybody says yes, nervous, a tiny bit, yes.
He declares war on Fox News' biggest advertiser by category.
I don't know when this was temporally to the settlement, but at the same time, give or take, when Fox has now agreed to pay $787 million to Dominion.
Some people thought this was to throw Tucker under the bus.
And the way the media was depicting it, oh, Tucker was the one lying about January 6th.
You would have thought that Tucker Carlson was one of the bad players.
At Fox News.
Who partook in the January 6th bad reporting.
And I'm sitting there thinking, like, I was sitting there.
I was like, am I misremembering this?
I thought Tucker Carlson was giving Sidney Powell a hard time for never having released the Kraken.
And he was.
Invitation to fraud.
And he's right.
One of its medals has been all over conservative media with the following story.
This election was stolen by a collection of international leftists who manipulated vote tabulating software in order to flip millions of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.
The other day on television, Powell said of Trump that when the fraud is finally uncovered, quote, I think we'll find he had at least 80 million votes.
In other words, rigged software stole about 7 million votes in this election.
Here's some of what Powell said today about the software.
Let's skip that part.
Now, to be perfectly clear, we did not dismiss any of it.
We don't dismiss anything anymore, particularly when it's related to technology.
We've talked to too many Silicon Valley whistleblowers.
We've seen too much.
After four years, this may be the single most open-minded show on television.
We literally do a UFO segment.
Not because we're crazy.
The louder the Yale Political Science Department and the staff of the Atlantic Magazine scream, how could you not want to see them?
So we invited Sidney Powell on this show.
We would have given her the whole hour.
We would have given her the entire week, actually, and listened quietly the whole time at rapt attention.
That's a big story.
But she never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of requests, polite requests, not a page.
When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her.
When we checked with others around the Trump campaign, people in positions of authority, they told us Powell has never given them any evidence either, nor did she provide any today at the press conference.
Powell did say that electronic voting is dangerous.
And she's right.
We're with her there.
But she never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another.
Not one.
So why are we telling you this?
We're telling you this because it's true.
And in the end, that's all that matters.
The truth.
It's our only hope.
It's our best defense.
I'll stop it there.
The media, Adam Kinzinger and the like.
AOC, reveling in Tucker Carlson being fired because he was the purveyor of disinformation.
And the level of gaslighting causes me to question my own memory.
I remember Tucker Carlson saying that at the time because I remember Robert Barnes and I saying at the time, our theory was that's not the right way to go.
Some of the stuff they were saying was factually incorrect.
Smartmatic and Dominion were never the same company.
I remember Tucker Carlson saying that.
And then I hear everybody saying, He was the purveyor of disinformation as relates to the election, and he was the one who incited January 6th.
You might have been thinking about Ray Epps there, Kinzinger.
So that this firing was contemporaneous with the settlement, as though to say Tucker Carlson was responsible for it, it's factually incorrect.
You got Tucker Carlson declaring war on the biggest advertisers of Fox, bringing on RFK, who is a known...
I'm not calling him an anti-vaxxer.
I'm not even calling him a vaccine skeptic.
I'm calling him someone who understands the corruption, who documented it thoroughly in his book, The Real Anthony Fauci.
And then there was one other thing where I think Tucker Carlson is having something of a, not a midlife crisis, but a midlife revelation.
You know, earlier on I said, you know, those young kids in the crowd calling Ray Epps a Fed.
It's like, at their age, when I was their age, I wouldn't have put that together, but I was living in a different era.
Where we actually sort of still believe what we saw on the news.
Tucker Carlson has had either a midlife crisis or a revelation of sorts.
And it was revealed recently, there's another famous clip going around from his podcast with something called Full Send, where he, in a very self-reflective manner, I don't have the whole clip.
He basically comes to grips with the fact that...
He has been working with the enemy for the better part of his life and not realizing it.
Not to inform you, they are working for the small group of people who actually run the world.
They're their servants.
They're their Praetorian Guard.
And we should treat them with maximum contempt because they have earned it.
Isn't that what the media tries to do, though?
It's their only purpose.
Right.
They're not here to inform you.
Really?
Even on the big things that really matter, like the economy and war and COVID and things that really matter that will affect you.
No.
Their job is not to inform you.
They are working for the small group of people who actually run the world.
They're their servants.
They're their Praetorian guard.
And we should treat them with maximum contempt.
That wasn't the clip I wanted to show you, but the other clip was from that podcast where he says, basically, I've been working for the media my entire life, and I never realized I've been part of the problem.
And it looks like he's made a decision to now...
Well, he's been...
Pretty much on the good side for a little while, but he's come to that realization.
And so this just looks like he's made the decision.
He's declared war on the very entity that he has been working with and for for the last decades.
And Rupert Murdoch, when you come after the drug companies, has said, F you, you're gone.
Fox News is going to be culturally irrelevant in no time at all.
And I hope it was worth it.
The only reason that it was worth watching Fox News was for Tucker Carlson.
Maybe Gutfeld is funny and entertaining.
Maybe Jesse Waters, although I've been finding that show The Friends a little tedious whenever I last saw it.
I want to find...
Hold on.
I want to find that.
I want to find that clip because it's actually...
It's quite an amazing thing.
Full send Tucker.
When you've realized...
Here we go.
It's right here.
I'm such an idiot.
Hold on.
I'll open this up.
It's worth listening to because it's someone who's realized.
And it's a tough thing to admit that you've made a mistake and that you've actually contributed or at least been on the wrong side for an extended period of time.
Present.
Share.
Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson.
Here.
This is it.
Figure out how to do this.
I've spent my whole life in the media.
My dad was in the media.
That is a big part of the revelation that's changed my life, is the media are part of the control apparatus.
There's no...
I know, because you're younger and smarter and you're like...
These kids would have been the kids in the crowd chanting Fed, Fed, because they would have seen it from a mile away, probably because they've been listening to independent media for the better part of their lives, like the Alex Joneses, like the Jimmy Doors, and they could identify it.
When you don't even know what you don't know, you don't know what you don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But what if you're me and you spent your whole life in that world?
And to look around and all of a sudden you're like, oh, wow.
Not only are they part of the problem, but I spent most of my life being part of the problem defending the Iraq War.
Like, I actually did that.
Can you imagine if you did that?
What do you think?
What is one of your biggest regrets in your career?
Defending the Iraq War.
That is it?
Well, I've had a million, a quarter of a million innocent Iraqi civilians dead based on a lie.
Opportunistic regime change, resource grab.
Grats, not being more skeptical, calling people names when I should have listened to what they were saying.
Look, when you, when someone makes...
These are deep, meaningful revelations that Tucker is expressing right now.
It's a claim.
There's only one question that's important at the very beginning, which is, is the claim true or not?
So I say, you know, you committed murder or you rigged the last election.
Before you attack me as a crazy person for saying that, maybe you should explain whether you did it or not.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
He's got a goofy laugh.
It's kind of endearing.
For too long, I participated in the culture where I was like, anyone who thinks outside these pre-prescribed lanes is crazy.
He's a conspiracy theorist.
And I just really regret that.
I'm ashamed that I did that.
And partly it was age.
Partly it was the world that I grew up in.
So when you look at me and you're like, yeah, of course they're part of the means of control.
I'm like, that's obvious to you because you're 28. But I just didn't see it at all.
At all.
And I'm ashamed of that.
Isn't that what the media tries to do, though?
And it's very much an Alison Morrow revelation.
For those of you who don't know, Alison Morrow used to be in journalism.
I think she was at Fox Affiliate.
Alison Morrow, great YouTube channel, great locals page.
Alison Morrow, it's one L. Or is it two L's and one S?
I'll check in a second.
Hold on.
It's their only purpose.
Right.
They're not here to inform you.
Really?
Even on the big things that really matter, like the economy and war and COVID.
That was the intro part of it.
It's amazing.
It sounds like it was not mutual, but it was brewing together.
Tucker Carlson, the most popular show.
The most popular draw.
People will leave with Tucker and they will follow Tucker.
And I count myself as being one of those people.
Bongino, no longer at Fox as well.
Annie Mack, 115.
Absolutely.
Bongino's another guy.
Robert pointed it out last night.
All of the populist voices on Fox are gone.
Bongino is smart, authentic, amazing.
Too good for Fox.
I've never met Tucker Carlson, but he is smart, he is bold, and he's courageous, and he's too good for Fox.
I've been criticizing Fox for a little while.
I'm not biased in the media that I criticize, and they've done some pretty stupid things that I've been tweeting out.
What's clear is that they have gone the way of CNN.
They're beyond repair.
And they're going to go down and become as irrelevant and as laughable as CNN.
Tucker Carlson, he's going to taste that beautiful freedom that comes with having your collar removed from the chained dog.
And he's left with his producer.
He's going to be amazing.
And I can't wait to see what he's going to do.
Was there anything else about Tucker Carlson that I have missed?
I think those were all the angles, but I think it makes a lot more sense now.
He declared war on Rupert Murdoch's cash cow.
And someone had pointed out that whatever Fox lost in agreeing to that outrageous settlement, and now that Robert Barnes also confirms that that settlement is outrageous, I feel a little more empowered with my original reflex.
They've lost more by firing Tucker Carlson than they lost with that nearly billion-dollar settlement to Dominion.
Now they can go back to, you know, helping Biden strategize to win the next election, as their opinion piece of today was attempting to do.
All right, let me see here.
I think we got everything on Tucker Carlson.
Yeah?
Yeah?
No, that's my Twitter page.
Hold on.
What?
What was this?
Oh!
Okay, that was just a random...
Obama tweeted out, proud of all that Joe Biden and his administration have accomplished these last few years.
What the flip have they accomplished, Obama, other than the destruction of...
the virtual destruction of America as we knew it.
Meeting with transgender individuals to promote gender-affirming care to children.
Driving the world to the brink of World War III.
Allegedly engaging in international terrorism by sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline.
What has Joe done?
He's delivered for the American people bullshit and he'll continue to do so once he's re-elected.
Oh, that's good.
It seems like you know what's going to happen.
And I just had to remind Joe Biden.
I had to remind Obama.
Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up, said Obama.
Okay.
One more laugh story before we head over to locals for the exclusive after-party pate.
John Cusack.
Has he always been dumb?
Has he always been out of his mind?
Has he always been a pretentious, virtue-signaling buffoon?
Or does it only come with your first 50 million?
I liked John Cusack.
I liked the movie High Fidelity.
I can no longer watch High Fidelity now.
I liked, what else was John Cusack in there?
I even now, I even dislike his sister because of him now.
I can't watch School of Rock anymore because Joan Cusack reminds me too much of John Cusack.
Look at this.
Don't get to the punchline.
Don't get to the punchline.
Let's watch the video.
Let's watch the video that John Cusack tweeted.
I think this is Los Angeles, not San Francisco.
Los Angeles.
This is Gavin Newsom's Los Angeles, California.
Yeah.
What's that?
Sorry.
Oh, no.
I put you in charge of her.
Oh, no.
I don't know.
So John Cusack posts this video of Gavin Newsom's Los Angeles, California.
Gavin Newsom, I think there was that video.
Him wanting to eradicate homelessness in 10 years, 20 years ago?
Who does John Cusack blame for this?
I think some of you might have already.
Who does John Cusack blame for this?
Elon Musk, people.
John Cusack tweets, richest country in the world, yet Elon mush.
That's so funny, John.
So witty.
And his oligarchs makes hundreds of billions in pandemic profiteering.
What the hell are you talking about, John?
Not Bezos.
Not Bill Gates.
John Cusack is not going after Gavin Newsom.
John Cusack is going after Elon Musk.
But no minimum wage.
Capitalism is, I think he meant crisis, is the crises.
We need New Deal politics now.
What a raging hypocrite buffoon.
He doesn't go after Bezos.
He doesn't go after Gates, who made billions during this pandemic.
Off of the pandemic.
Not off of their business.
Off of the pandemic.
He goes after Elon Musk.
Blames Elon Musk for no minimum wage.
Blames Elon Musk for capitalism.
My goodness, John, it's an amazing thing.
Do you know what I found here?
Look at this little article from 2016.
John Cusack sold his beachfront home in Malibu.
Price, $10,300,000.
Size, that's a big freaking house.
Why would you have four and a half bathrooms for three bedrooms?
What the?
How does that make sense?
How do you have half a bathroom?
I don't know.
Your mama's notes.
After six months on the market and several substantial price chops, he couldn't get what he was originally asking for it.
He was asking, what did he ask?
$13 million at first?
John Cusack sold his beachfront house in Malibu for $10.3 million.
An impressive amount that is almost five times the $2.1 million he paid for it in 1999.
Rich or poor, it's good to be rich.
That's what my grandmother also said.
But nearly 25% below the property's optimistic original asking price of $13.5 million.
Down with capitalism, right after I make my $7-8 million on my Malibu beachfront house.
John Cusack is an idiot.
And I don't know when it happened.
I don't know how it happens, but it seems to happen to far too many.
Some go the other way and get wise.
James Woods.
I don't know if he gets wise.
He might have always been wise.
James Woods, Jon Voight, Mike Rowe, the guy from The Neighbor Show, Alan, Tim Allen.
Others?
Go Madonna route.
Go John Cusack.
Go Stephen King.
Go Meathead.
What's his name?
Rob Reiner.
Anyhow.
Idiot.
Absolutely.
And I try not to call people names, but once I'm done substantively justifying the position, I have no problem calling people names.
All right.
What do we say in the chat here?
James Woods is tough, says Visionland Music.
A half bath has only toilet and sink.
No shower or tub.
But how do you have four and a half bathrooms for a three-room house?
I guess every room has a bathroom, and then you have your pool bathroom.
It's good.
Down with capitalism.
Cusack is mad because Elon left California and took his toys with him, says anything.
James Woods has always been ultra-conservative, says, I fly FSX.
All right, where's Winnie?
Hold on one second.
I know the camera has been reactivated again.
Let me freeze the camera.
This stupid thing.
InstaLink.
Insta360.
Okay, let me just bring the camera here.
Stop!
This way.
Here.
Here's that.
Freeze.
There we go.
Winston.
Winston?
You guys want to see Pudge instead?
Come here.
Come here.
No, Pudge, get over here.
Oh, jeez.
We're going down.
Okay, wait a second, get over here.
Oh yeah, come here.
Behold.
All hail Winston.
Hello.
So Winston's been good these days.
What do you say?
Uh-oh.
We're going to go over to locals.
VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com You want to say it?
VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com All right.
Let's do it.
Get down.
I've got to go walk the dogs.
Anyhow, this has been wonderful.
This has been fantastic.
This has been fun.
Hope you had a good time.
Hope you learned something.
Go watch my Justin Trudeau montage.
It's on YouTube.
It's on Rumble.
It's on Twitter.
It's on Instagram.
It's in vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
Let me make sure I didn't miss.
Oh, here we go.
T. Gaggioti.
I love when you have these belated epiphanies about big pharma ads, LOL.
Dude, I'm watching this like, holy crap!
Have there always been this many?
For stuff like, my goodness, you're going to get some stuff for your IBS that...
The symptoms from these things are worse than the actual things.
Here's another idea.
Get freaking healthy.
I was just thinking about the amount of obese people that I see wearing face masks.
You're at risk if you're obese.
How about getting healthy?
Lose some weight.
Exercise.
Eat healthy.
Don't eat this crap.
People are lazy.
People are busy.
Just, you know, give me the magic cure that doesn't actually involve me having to do anything.
Every day, in as much as I can, I exercise.
I didn't do my push-ups today, but I did my jog and it was flipping hot outside.
I have some dietary vices, but it's laziness.
And then it's people looking for the easiest possible solution that involves the minimal amount of effort.
And that's when Big Pharma comes into play.
It's an amazing relationship.
Okay, everybody.
I want to watch the rest of it, but I don't want to watch the rest of it.
I can't watch the rest of the thing.
But what I can do to play us out, people.
To play us out.
I'm going to apologize in advance.
Get your gag reflex.
I want to play the video, but only from a portion at the end, so it'll be minimal gagging.
Hold on.
Oh, Justin Trudeau wants to talk directly to my kids.
Let's go.
It was here.
Was it here?
No.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Oh, now the computer doesn't want to play.
Forget it.
It's not working.
Head on over to Locals, people.
VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
Oh, hold on.
I can do it now.
Here we go.
Right here.
We're going to end with this.
I apologize.
I have to.
And then go share it with the world so that it should, I don't know, trend?
Live forever?
I don't know how it works here.
Listen to this.
There are people who have probably gotten very sick from vaccinations.
What do you do with someone with an allergy?
What do you do with someone who's immunocompromised or someone who for religious or deep convictions decides that no, they're not going to get a vaccine?
We're not a country that makes vaccination.
Mandatory.
I believe the vaccines should be mandatory.
But I make a distinction, and I always have, between someone choosing for personal reasons.
Exemptions will be exceedingly narrow and, to be honest, somewhat onerous.
To obtain.
But I make a distinction, and I always have, between someone choosing for personal reasons, simply having a personal conviction that vaccines are bad will not be nearly enough to qualify for an exemption to them, and someone deliberately using misinformation to mislead and scare other people with So-called facts that aren't facts at all.
A very small risk.
One in 5,000 that may get my...
Okay, we're done.
Viva Barnes Law.
Here, here, here.
Let's just...
Sorry, guys.
Had to.
Okay, that's the Twitter link.
And this is the Viva Barnes link.
And we're doing it.
And we're going over.
And I'm making this stuff.
Okay.
Thank you all.
Tomorrow, I'm doing a live stream with Pablo Figueiredo on his channel.
I think it's at one o 'clock.
I got my BJJ lesson tomorrow as well.
And then we do have a sidebar tomorrow night.
So stay tuned for that.
POS is a piece of shit.
It's also a point of sales for anyone who's worked retail.
But I prefer the piece of shit.
Okay, head on over to Locals.
I'm going to end this now.
Thank you all for being here.
Thank you for all the support.
VivaFry.com for merch.
VivaBarnesLaw.Locals.com for the community.
And that's it.
Snip, ship, clip, liken.
You know what to do, people.
See you on Locals.
Ending on Rumble now.
Hey, Locals.
Are we on here, people?
Has Viva worked retail?
Marts, of course I have.
