Time Text
Hi, everybody.
I want to start by thanking Columbia Journalism School for organizing this event, and I want to give a special shout-out to your dean, Jelani Cobb, without whom we wouldn't be here today.
Dean Cobb has never been afraid to tackle tough issues, so last summer I reached out to him to talk about the role of the press in strengthening our democracy.
What I didn't expect was that less than a year later, he would organize a series of events to explore the issues I don't think we can watch this entire thing because I will vomit in my mouth and then have to ingest the vomit that has come from my own body.
I've already had lunch and I don't want to have it a second time.
I haven't had lunch.
And I'm grateful to everyone who's participating, including some of the brightest minds in media and academia who are actively working through these challenges every single day.
He's such a good speaker.
I talk a lot about how democracy is neither...
He talks about how democracy is neither inevitable nor self-executing.
The executing there might have a little asterisk next to it, you know, considering the type of executing that Obama did as president.
Talking about democracy, we'll let it go for a few more seconds, and then I'm going to unleash the fury, Mitch.
Citizens like us have to nurture it.
We have to tend to it and fight for it.
Fight for it.
Did he just say fight for democracy?
I think impeach him.
That's how this works, right?
Fight for the democracy?
Isn't that what Trump said?
You gotta fight for your freedom?
No.
When Trump says it, insurrection.
When Obama says it, it's upholding democracy.
We have to be willing to look at ourselves critically and make reforms that can allow democracy not just to survive, but to thrive.
That's especially important right now.
Our democracy has always faced its share of challenges, but increasingly it feels like we're at an inflection point with rising inequality, deepening polarization, and widespread disinformation.
You don't want to throw in a little mega, mega Republican, extreme mega Republican in there, Joe?
Joe?
Biden?
What's his name?
Obama?
I'm sorry.
You don't want to throw in a little ultra, super-duper mega...
domestic terrorist uh republican This is the man lecturing on the value of preserving democracy who spied on the incoming president.
Spied on the incoming president.
Democracy.
Preserving democracy launched extrajudicial executions of American citizens via drone strikes.
Lectures on democracy.
It's pathological.
It's pathological.
But he's so eloquent when he speaks.
He's got the good inflection, the dramatic pauses.
He's not, you know, some manic, frantic, flailing his hands all over the place, viva type.
This is a man who sits there and calmly explains to you, you've been experimented on.
He sits there and talks about how you have been experimented on by Big Pharma in real time, and then goes ahead and lectures on democracy and preserving it.
It's amazing.
All right, well, there's not much more to go on to that, but I listened to that, and it's like they lecture you on the evils that they commit, and...
I cannot but hear Joseph Goebbels in my head, although I don't know what his voice sounds like, saying, accuse your enemies of doing what you are doing so as to create confusion.
Confession through projection.
They accuse you of undermining democracy while they literally undermine democracy.
We've got to preserve free speech.
And in order to preserve free speech, we've got to censor free speech.
It's wonderful.
There was a great meme of all of, you know...
Klaus Schwab and all of his ilk and the other politicians laughing hysterically.
It's like a montage of their heads.
And the meme says, classic.
Yeah, preserve democracy.
Let's go censor the internet.
Let's go spy on the incoming president so we can set up three years of dogged Russiagate hoaxes.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
Good morning, afternoon, evening, everybody.
I put out a poll on locals in our vivabarneslaw.locals.com community this morning.
And I said, what should I do today?
Bike, jog, kayak, fish, go to the beach, do the dishes.
There are eight options.
All of the above.
Oh, and...
Or do a live stream.
Or all of the above.
Knowing full well I haven't gone to see the results of that poll.
I suspect all of the above.
Has won.
I predicted in advance all of the above would win.
So I'm going to make a vlog today because I did all of the above today.
Not for long periods of time.
In fact, it might have been something of a manic, frantic, ridiculous day.
Now I've got to rehydrate with some buble.
But I did all of them, so stay tuned for that fun vlog, which is going to come later today.
But my goodness.
All right, hey, Keith, you're lacking the attention today.
Did anyone think that they weren't going to get convicted?
Let's go with subject number one of the day.
As if there was any doubt that they were going to get convicted of seditious conspiracy, because it's not the first time there had already been a seditious conspiracy conviction.
Here, you got the attention, Keith, as though...
I would avoid talking about what was a foregone conclusion.
Imagine a jury.
I don't know if these...
Let me pull up the article and make sure that these were done by jury and not judge.
Seditious...
It wasn't...
It's not an outrage.
It's not a shock.
It was a foregone conclusion.
Seditious conspiracy convictions today.
That was January.
The four Oath Keepers found guilty of seditious conspiracy.
Where's the news from today?
Five hours ago.
Here we go.
There were already members found guilty of seditious conspiracy in January.
This is not news.
This is not revelatory.
This is now just illustrating how preposterous it is to have jury members convict people of seditious conspiracy when half of them probably don't even understand what the crime is or why it should be.
As we've said from the beginning, void for vagueness because it's preposterous.
It doesn't just regulate speech.
It regulates thought.
Jury convicts Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys on seditious conspiracy charge.
It's amazing.
We're going to read what seditious conspiracy is.
Former Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio and three other members of the far-right Proud Boys have been found guilty of seditious conspiracy.
We're going to pull up the charge.
We pulled it up before so you can read it.
What is it?
It's like challenging the authority of the government.
Oh, and it went to a jury.
So not even a judge applying the law.
This is a jury applying seditious conspiracy.
What was the district that they were in?
I'm just going to take a wild guess.
They convicted Tario and others of obstructing an official proceeding.
Conspiracy to prevent an office from discharging their duties.
Duties.
Obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder and destruction of government property over $1,000.
Jurors found defendants not guilty of seditious conspiracy.
One of them got off.
He must have had the right thoughts at the right time.
The convictions amount to a significant victory for the justice.
By the way, do you know what seditious conspiracy is not?
Insurrection.
Anyone been charged or convicted with insurrection?
Seditious conspiracy, peeps.
Do we have a definition here?
Politics was no longer something for the debating floor or the voting booth, prosecutors told them.
For them, politics meant actual physical violence, and they liked it, and they were good at it.
They were so good at it, they certified the vote four hours later.
Lawyers for Tario, who spent January 6th in a Baltimore hotel room.
But who monitored the action from afar argued he was more a scapegoat for the Justice Department and a far easier target.
He wasn't even there.
It was Donald Trump's words.
It was his motivation.
It was his anger that caused what occurred on January 6th in your amazing and beautiful city.
Defense Attorney Naib Hassan said they want to use Enrique Tarrio as a scapegoat for Donald Trump.
Oh, two to five.
Let's just go here because we want to see what seditious conspiracy And I think it's going to be under the United States Code.
Let's just go read the charge.
Let's go read the law.
My goodness.
To oppose by force the authority of the government.
Does that mean resisting arrest?
Is resisting arrest seditious conspiracy?
Or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title, or imprisoned to not more than 20 years, or both.
Yeah, that's...
It's clear.
You're getting judged by a jury of your peers.
Undoubtedly, they understood exactly what this meant in the historical context.
When was this?
This was enacted in 1948.
If they opposed by force the authority of the government.
Oh, they got their conviction, people.
By the way, still no insurrection.
Still no seditious conspiracy to incite insurrection.
And it's just amazing.
Enrique Tarrio wasn't even there.
That's justice.
That's justice if you're a communist.
The reason why that order doesn't work is for notification purposes.
Also, logistically, I don't even know how I do that because I start...
It's easier to remove something from StreamYard.
And just to address what appears to be something of a spammer or someone who's very angry that I can't pull up comments in Rumble, if there's a Rumble rant that I can bring up, which there isn't, so I can't bring it up right now, Rumble does not go through StreamYards in the same way that YouTube does.
So while I can bring up comments like this by highlighting them in StreamYard, for the time being, and until they can fix it or organize it, Rumble does not go through StreamYard.
So my fix, and it's one that other people have told me to do, is basically I can share the screen and then show the comments as they come up.
But the reason why, just so the person who's complaining can understand, I cannot bring up the comments that you see on the side.
Oh, it's Jesse Jennings.
I can't bring these comments up through StreamYard.
Because Rumble is not integrated, whatever it is, the comments, it's not integrated through StreamYard and it's not an option.
So this is the best I can do.
There's one right there.
Here's a Rumble rant.
Thank you, Pasha Moyer, P. Moyer.
So it's the best I can do.
If it's not good enough for you, too bad.
I mean, I guess you're going to have to either find a better solution for me or live with it.
Wouldn't be the hardest thing to live with.
Cheryl Gage.
The drone strike on the Kremlin looked more symbolic than tactical, so whoever did it achieved their goal.
We're going to start with that, actually, right after standard intro.
No medical advice, no legal advice, no election fornification advice.
Whenever I bring up and whenever someone gives one of these generous superchats or rumble rants, bear in mind, people, YouTube takes 30% of that.
So YouTube took 60 cents of that?
What's my problem here?
No.
It would be $1.50 of that.
If you don't like that, you can go on Rumble.
Rumble has the equivalent called Rumble Rants.
They ordinarily take 20%, but for the rest of 2023, they take 0%.
And all of it goes to the creator.
2024, they're going to go back to their standard cut, and hopefully they'll have enhanced, increased their pool of viewers on Rumble so the investment pays off in terms of profitability for the platform because Rumble needs to be profitable in order to be sustainable.
The best way to support us, if you so choose, Locals.
VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com You don't have to be a paying supporter to get tons of goodies on Locals.
We have an above-average community there of 109,000, last time I checked.
If you choose to support, $7 a month or $70 a year discounted rate, or you can pay more, as some people do, to support what we do so we can continue doing what we do.
That's it.
Okay, that's the intro.
The drone strike, people.
It's an amazing thing.
So yesterday's biggest news, and it's today's silence, was a drone strike, allegedly.
You never know anything anymore.
You see smoke coming from the Kremlin.
It could be a barbecue that got out of control in the backyard, and someone says it's a drone strike.
I'm being glib.
But we literally live in a world now where if something happens, you don't know who did it.
There's going to be spin one way or the other, and we live in a world now, especially, Where you don't even know if something has actually happened.
Back in the day, you used to have your false flags.
Now we're living in a world of CGI, AI, some really damn good Photoshop, where you don't even know if things happen.
And so the biggest news of the day yesterday was an alleged drone strike at the Kremlin in Russia, a purported assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin.
And it was news for, I mean, am I going crazy?
Or was it news for like 10 minutes and then nobody talked about it?
I think it was news for 10 minutes and then nobody talked about it, which is even more suspicious than anything.
My initial joke was, or joke, my initial comment was, where did Ukraine get the drone from?
Which is predicated on the idea that it was in fact, if it wasn't a drone strike, it was in fact a strike carried out by Ukraine.
It could have been Russia.
It could have been another Reichstag fire.
It could have been another, the Polish one, the radio station.
What was that one?
Chat, what was that one called that basically started World War II or the invasion of Poland?
The Polish radio station invasion, or the setup where they shot Polish soldiers, dressed them up in German uniforms, pretended that the Poles stormed the radio station.
Chat, come on.
It's not moving fast enough here on StreamYard.
You know what I'm talking about.
Whatever, that false flag.
So it could be Russia doing it to itself.
Some people say if it was Ukraine, well, Russia's air defense forces are really weak to have let them get that deep into Russia, into the motherland.
Others could say, well, some people could say they knew that Putin wasn't going to be there.
And so...
Even if they knew that it was coming from Ukraine and even if they had the capability of stopping it, let them get away with it.
All that it's going to do is cause some building damage or take out some nobody and let them do it so that we can weaponize it.
So you can have any range of false...
Let me just get my face in there.
You can get any...
Oh, it's tracking me again.
Oh, sorry.
This flipping camera.
Pleb, the reporter, said, Viva, I can help you fix this in a text to me yesterday, but I've disabled it and that just re-enables.
You can have any degree, any varying degree of false flag conspiracy theory.
Either Russia did it to itself, blamed it on the Ukraine.
Let's back it up.
Either it didn't happen and it's an outright fabrication.
It's a fire that they set off themselves, blame it on Ukraine.
Either Russia struck itself so they can blame it on Ukraine.
Ukraine did it and now they're blaming it on Russia.
Ukraine did it.
Russia could have stopped it, but they knew Putin wasn't there, so they let them do it, so they could then blame it on them.
Or Poland did it.
Or China did it.
I mean, there's so many ways to go on it.
The bottom line is, when the media comes out reflexively, right away, says, it's a Putin false flag.
This is typical Russian propaganda, as Nuland would call it.
Then I start getting suspicious.
And I was just going to look for some info.
Look him.
I want to pick the brains of people who are smarter than me.
This guy here looks smart.
I think he's got a British accent.
Absolutely not.
It's typical...
Take it back.
I take it back.
He doesn't have a British accent.
He's not smart at all.
Listen to this.
I want to hear, what are the pundits saying about the strike?
And when the pundits come out and say, it's typical Russia, it's false flag.
Russia just blew up the Nord Stream pipeline itself so they can blame it on Russia.
Absolutely not.
It's typical...
Kremlin spinning, creating a false narrative.
Look, it's too early to say what exactly happened here, but I tend to lean on the side of analysts who say that this was a Russian-generated false flag operation.
We don't know exactly why they would do that, but one reason might be is to stoke up Russian public opinion and also lay more fertile ground for more mobilization of Russians.
Do you want to know why you don't need to be an expert?
First of all, that footage actually was...
We don't know exactly why they would do that, but...
Do you want to know why you don't need to be an expert to know that this is a dumb, illogical, it's self-propagandist explanation?
One reason might be to stoke up Russian public opinion and also lay more fertile ground for more mobilization of Russians.
Has Russia been holding back that they would need to generate a false flag to stoke public sentiment for this war?
That seems to be...
Perfect confession through projection.
That seems to be exactly the concern of the West in terms of the West no longer supporting, propping up this war, supporting Ukraine in a proxy war.
That, pure confession through projection.
It's not like Russia needs any more of a pretext to continue the war that it initiated, and it's not like they're holding back by all accounts.
That explanation just makes no sense.
And what are they going to do?
They're going to fly something over their own, shoot their own building, and then blame it on Ukraine?
The only way it could make sense...
It's if they knew Ukraine was coming in with this and let them do it so they can then say, look what Ukraine is doing.
And why does that make more sense?
Well, we now know from the leaked Pentagon Papers, which everybody is ignoring in interpreting this event, you had Zelensky asking the West for missiles, whatever, that could reach Moscow.
I mean, you had this.
It's like Victoria Nuland.
Saying that they're going to blow up or they're going to end the Nord Stream pipeline if Russia invades Ukraine.
It's like Joe Biden saying, I promise you, we're going to end the Nord Stream pipeline if Russia invades the Ukraine.
How are you going to do that, Mr. President?
It's in Germany.
I promise you, we'll make it happen.
And then it happens, Russia did it.
You have Zelensky in the leaked Pentagon Papers now.
Saying, hey, give me some stuff that's capable of striking Moscow, because I want to strike Moscow.
And yesterday, something strikes Moscow, Russia.
It was Russia doing it to themselves.
So that's, I mean, there's not much more insight to offer to that.
There's not much more news.
I'm trying to scour the internet, but the more silence there is on this, the more suspicious I get, and the more I just think this is obviously, you know, it seems obvious what it is.
Um Um Yeah, it's almost as ridiculous as, you know, like Russia striking Polish soldiers and then Zelensky begging the world to jump into World War III.
Oh, oops.
Did I do that?
It's my first day.
Oh, no, it wasn't Operation Himmler, the Polish false flight.
My goodness, hold on a second.
Let me just get that.
It wasn't.
It was Polish radio station.
World War II false flag.
The Gliwitz!
It was the Gliwitz incident.
Yeah, it's not operation.
I mean, I guess it was inspired.
It was the Gliwitz.
G-L-E-I-W-I-T-Z.
Let me just read what it says real quick.
The Gliwitz incident was a false flag attack on the radio station center Gliwitz in Gliwitz, then Germany and now...
Gliwice, Poland, staged by Nazi Germany on the night of August 31st, 1939.
Gliwice.
I won't remember it, but I won't forget it.
So that's what's in Russia.
Do we do one more on YouTube before we go?
One more story on YouTube before we go over to Rumble?
Yeah, let's do just one.
Let's just do one quick one.
You all know that Aaron Rupar is in the Urban Dictionary and not for the best of reasons.
Oh, let's just go ahead and look at this.
By the way, I said that I would never watch Fox News again, except to make fun of them.
I didn't really want to watch Fox News.
This is just because Aaron Rupert comes off on my feed because I interact with him on Twitter, so they continue to promote him.
Not promote him.
Recommend him to me.
Present him to me so I have to respond to his crap.
Journalists?
Stop it.
Journalists sign up for my newsletter.
No, thank you.
Public power, whatever that is.
Okay.
Aaron Hruper, let's just, guys, let's just read the description.
Bear in mind how few people actually click through the video to watch it.
This one, in all of its 39 seconds, how short the attention span of the average person is, myself included.
Most people will not go watch the video.
They'll see, hey, Aaron, look at that.
He's coming through my thing there.
Oh, what's he say?
Josh Hawley admits he's seen no evidence of Biden malfeasance, but he wants Democrats to prove Biden is innocent nonetheless.
That's crazy.
Now I'm just going to go on and find something else to get enraged about.
First of all, is that Josh Hawley?
I don't even care if it is.
Josh Hawley admits he has seen no evidence of Biden malfeasance, but wants Democrats to prove Biden innocence nonetheless.
Oh, that's a very bold statement.
I doubt.
I doubt that's what this video is going to show because Rupar is going to pull a Rupar right now.
And for those of you who don't know what that is, go to the Urban Dictionary.
But let's just see what Josh Hawley said.
He says, I've seen no evidence and he's got to go prove his innocence?
That sounds like something Nancy Pelosi would say.
You know, Senator, who do we think the other country is?
We knew the Chinese connection and all that.
But this is something new.
Do you have any information on that?
I do not.
I don't have any information on what the whistleblowers has alleged in terms of the specific substantive allegations.
I have no information in terms of the specific substantive allegations.
That's a qualified statement.
He might be hiding the fact that he has zero information, or he might have broad brushstroke 30,000-foot overview information, but not specific allegations.
But that's a little different than what Aaron Rupar, who's pulling a Rupar, just said.
but it goes on.
Other than that, there is documentation that the FBI has.
And I just say again to those Democrats out there screaming about how Joe Biden is innocent.
Joe Biden hasn't done anything.
Well, fine.
Then show us what you know.
Show us what the evidence is in the And by the way, I don't like the philosophy, you know, prove your innocence.
It's unconstitutional.
Contrary to the fundamental rules of justice, it's also not what Josh Hawley said right here.
He didn't say go to court and prove your innocence.
He said show us the documentation because it's not exactly like they've been forthcoming with the alleged improprieties.
But what did Hawley say?
I don't have any specifics on the allegations, but the FBI has information and the Democrats should flip over their whole cards.
But yeah, no, Rupar comes in and says, he admits he's seen no evidence, but Democrats have to prove that Biden is innocent.
We have enough superficial evidence, or at least cursory evidence, to presume, not even to presume, but to appreciate.
10% for the big guy.
What's his name?
Hunter's business dealings that Joe Biden now seems to be well aware of.
There's enough.
There's enough.
And I wanted to get the...
Does everyone remember?
Does everyone remember Nancy Pelosi prove innocence?
That's not how you spell it, but let's just...
Nancy Pelosi.
Speaking of what Aaron Rupar is wrongly alleging, Holly just said.
Let's just go refresh our memories about Nancy Pelosi, member of Congress.
She's there to uphold the Constitution of America, and this is what her Constitution says.
They should call it the commistution.
The grand jury has acted upon the facts and the law.
No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence.
I'm sorry.
Are you an overt fascist communist?
I mean, what are you, Nancy?
You have the right to a trial to prove innocence.
Oh.
My.
Good God.
But no good.
Aaron Rupar.
Accuse your adversary of doing what you are doing so as to create confusion.
Okay, let's bring in the link to the Rumbles one more time, and we're going to go over there now, people.
What do we have left on Rumbles?
So we're going to talk about the Neely New York City, Hollywood, New York City, Hollywood, the New York City subway incident, and then some Canadian stuff because the...
Now that crack, cocaine, methamphetamines, small amounts, possession has been decriminalized, there's some jack-in-in-ee in Vancouver who wants to open up a mobile drug-selling center.
And there was a picture circulating on the interwebs, which I said, this looks like it might be fake.
And it's not fake, and there's a lot to it.
And then there's some other stuff we're going to get to.
What was I going to say?
So here it is.
Boomshakalaka, link to Rumble.
Mark in Vermont says, We've been lied to by the powers that be.
About everything.
About pretty much everything.
So much so.
Owen Benjamin has been popping up on my feed these days.
Not for interaction reasons.
I don't actually interact with him.
But he's been popping up on my feed.
He explains it.
He explains how some people get so disillusioned.
They get so...
I mean, for lack of a better word, by the powers that be, that they would then go and feel compelled to challenge the most basic premises of the orthodoxy of information.
The moon landing, I can still understand people thinking it was staged.
The flat earth.
I mean, you get people who so distrust everything they have been told that they have to go and, in their own minds, doubt, contradict, and then seek evidence.
Which they can never provide for themselves as to the roundness of the earth.
I don't know why a kid just came in here and gave me five bucks, but I'll take it.
And so Owen Benjamin, he's been explaining it.
It makes sense.
People are just so bloody disillusioned by how much they've been lied to on the most basic facts, historical facts, premises of life, premises of the pillars of knowledge that they have to question, even the ones that, at least some of them, that I think are unquestionable.
All right, let's go on over to...
Rumble right now, as in in 3, 2, 1. Ending on YouTube.
Over to Rumble, then over to locals.
VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
I'm kidding.
The kids are bothering me.
Ending on YouTube now.
All right, peeps.
Let's see what we got here.
It was...
North Paul says it was a super chat, Viva.
And nobody takes 30% of this one, except the government.
They take...
Florida is a little better than Canada, but the government takes 40% of everything.
Why would you want to be on YouTube?
Ew, says YouTube overrated.
I'll tell you why YouTube, because some people...
I'll tell you why YT overrated.
Because you want to drive traffic.
You want to reach the market that you're not necessarily going to reach by being in the market that some people don't yet know of.
When I went exclusive with Rumble, we had these discussions.
Not that anybody was asking.
Rumble wants people to use YouTube to raise awareness, to draw a market over, and to reach a market that might not yet know that Rumble exists or that might actually think that Rumble is alt-right extremism.
So that's why.
Start there.
I still post stuff to YouTube because you don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
You don't take the batteries out of the bullhorn for the sake of it.
So, some people don't agree with that.
Again, that would be too bad.
We all live by our own standards and our own morals.
Now, what do we want to do?
Let's not do the metro.
I say metro because in Canada it's called a metro.
Let's not do the New York subway thing yet.
Let's just...
I guess let's start off a little lighthearted.
Because the New York City subway incident, it's bad all around, but what's, you know...
I don't know.
It's not worse than the tragedy.
It's just exploitation of tragedy are the race baiters in Washington.
Hey, here's a great tragedy to exploit to further divide America and to further desecrate the seriousness of an actual history of violence.
An actual history of racial violence, I should say.
But let's start off with this.
This is classic.
Because Jagmeet Singh, he doesn't stop.
He doesn't stop.
First of all, I want to read the tweet before getting to the image.
Bear in mind when you're reading this, it's a real tweet from Jagmeet Singh.
It's a real tweet.
I read it.
There's a parody account of Jagmeet Singh's Ego.
I'll just make sure.
I know I responded to it.
There's a parody account of Jagmeet Singh.
It's very, very good.
It's worth a follow.
And there's a parody account of Justin Trudeau.
And I suspect they're owned by the same person.
I started reading this, and I'm like, holy shit, this has to be...
This is parody.
Because it's the 4th of May.
So may the 4th be with you, huh?
Okay.
It's the 4th of May, so everyone's showing how much they love Star Wars.
And at the risk of pissing off some subs and some fans, I never liked Star Wars.
I never got into Star Wars.
I fell asleep during the reboot of that other one that came out in 99 with...
What's her name?
Natalie Portman.
Might have had something to do with the copious amounts of beer that I had before going to see it.
But I never even liked the original three.
And I understand that they're great classics that have defined a generation.
I never liked them.
But I never liked science fiction like that.
Anyhow, I was back to the future trilogy, not Star Wars.
But apparently it's cool to say how much you love Star Wars, so Jagmeet sings.
Not one to miss the opportunity.
I've got to read it in my...
I wish I had music.
One day when I have a producer, we'll get, like, music.
As a kid, Star Wars always resonated deeply with me.
Kind of like the Force, I believe we're all connected.
Your pain is our pain.
Bear in mind, this is coming from the Jack and Annie dip crap.
Who didn't step foot on Parliament Hill to talk with the protesters, the truckers.
I believe we're all connected, except to those filthy truckers who bring me my food and my designer bikes and my custom kirpan and my custom suits.
We're all connected, but not those filthy truckers.
Your pain is our pain, except for you, you rabid anti-science, anti-vaxxers.
Your struggles are our struggles, except for you.
Your victories are our victories because I get to take my fourth pay raise paying myself from your victories.
When we lift each other up, we all rise.
Happy Star Wars Day.
May the fourth be with you.
So other than making you want to puke in your mouth and talking about puking in your mouth a lot today, wait until you see this.
Oh, I went too far.
Damn it!
Come on, man.
Bring it up.
What's going on?
I'm zoomed in is what's going on.
Look at this.
Look at this.
May the fourth be with you.
Join the resistance.
NDP.ca slash rebel or rebel.
I don't know which.
I swear...
I won't swear on things.
It's not the right thing to do.
I swear to you, I thought this was a parody.
And the funny...
Look at this.
Look at this.
You want to talk about narcissism?
Can you imagine?
He's making himself look very Jesus-like, godly, chiseled.
Look at the muscles in his chest.
This is narcissism at another level.
Resistance?
Join the resistance of the NDP who had been licking the boots of Justin Trudeau for the last year and a half.
Join the resistance of Jagmeet Singh, who has stomped on the necks of Canadians.
For the last three years.
Join Jagmeet Singh, who laments food lines in Canada while giving himself his third or his fourth raise during COVID.
Join the resistance of Jagmeet Singh, who has more designer bikes than any normal person should have.
Oh, and look at them.
He thinks of himself as a god.
The irony to this also, by the way, is that if someone else had made this image of Jagmeet Singh, sure as sugar he would accuse them of some form of bigotry, racism, or mockery.
If someone else had made this image to make fun of Jagmeet Singh, he would have pulled out an ism, obia, or whatever, or ist.
Guaranteed.
But he does it to himself because he thinks of himself as a god.
People actually thumbs up this crap.
Oh, it's called Singh Hypocrisy.
Go check it out.
It's Jagmeet Singh's Hypocrisy.
Jagmeet Singh's Hypocrisy has no boundaries.
Pronounced hippocrisy.
Puppet of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Leader of the NDP.
Parody.
This guy does parody properly.
So we start off with that Jagmeet Singh is the second to worst man in Canadian politics, but maybe even the worst man in Canadian politics because, but for him, the worst man in Canadian politics would have been held to political account, which he won't be, because of the support from Jagmeet Singh.
All right, people.
Let's see what's going on in the rumbles.
Let me bring up this rumble rant in the only way that I can for the time being.
Delteros won.
So they convicted a man of a crime he wasn't even there to commit.
No, no.
Delteros, you've got it wrong, sir.
Or ma 'am.
He didn't have to be there to commit this seditious conspiracy because it can be committed anywhere.
It's a thought crime to participate, to incite.
To challenge the authority of the government.
Do we all appreciate that FBI and informants had infiltrated the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers for months before they knew?
I mean, their witnesses were informants who were there to assist and abet in the seditious conspiracy planning that the FBI was aware of well in advance of January 6th because you can't really seditious conspiracize.
You can't really seditiousize, conspiracize on the day of.
It has to be planned well in advance.
FBI knew about it.
In as much as it existed, the guy's gotten convicted for it, planning well in advance the seditious conspiracy.
FBI was infiltrated in the plot, had informants, had knowledge, and yet totally off guard on January 6th.
And yet, Capitol Police understaffed on January 6th.
And yet, National Guard.
Not called in, despite being understaffed on a day when they knew seditious conspiracy was all over, was afoot.
Totally, totally not a setup.
And anybody who says it was a setup allowed to happen or exaggerated so it could be politically weaponized, well, they must be Tucker Carlson-level conspiracy theorists.
All right, let's talk about the ugly incident.
The New York City incident.
It's terrible all around.
And I'll preface this by saying I'm not a master by any means of mixed martial arts.
Period.
I could probably maintain a conversation with Rogan and I could probably poorly narrate or announce a UFC fight.
I've watched enough to know the moves, to know the tactics.
I've watched a lot of YouTube videos from the Gracie brothers who have their own channel.
I've taken some classes now on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Everybody knows that a chokehold is to put someone to sleep and not intended to be maintained for any extended period of time above what is absolutely necessary to, I mean, I guess, end a fight if it's a fight or to end the threat if there's a threat.
There was this awful video a while back.
It was like a backyard fight of these two kids.
Young kids.
I don't know where it is and I don't want to venture a guess.
And one kid gets...
They're fighting and they're stupid flipping kids because kids are stupid.
Kids are so stupid they do these types of things but then they're entrusted to decide what to do with their own bodies for the rest of their lives.
So it's a backyard fight and one kid gets the other kid into a guillotine choke and holds it there.
For minutes.
I mean, if it wasn't minutes, it was easily close to a minute.
But I think it was like a minute and a half.
Where the kid had gone limp after 24, 25 seconds.
Clearly limp.
And the kid holds it there.
I don't know what...
And someone's recording it.
And the kid died.
And then the Gracie brothers, in a video, were...
I mean, they're breaking it down.
It's not rocket science.
So for those of you who don't know what happened, there was a mentally ill individual.
On the subway.
We're going to get into his priors afterwards.
A mentally ill individual who was apparently acting aggressively, threatening the crowd.
We don't know how.
There's a lot of details we don't yet know.
And apparently, from what I understand, there's more footage.
There's more video footage that we haven't seen.
And I'm not showing you the video footage that has been circulating of the man being held in a chokehold behind by this Marine.
But a black man.
A black homeless man on the subway.
And I'm referencing race.
Not because there's any indication race was a factor.
To be distinguished from a fact, a factor of the incident, and we're going to get into that, I'm mentioning it because the race baiters in Washington are trying to whip this up into another racially, socially, culturally dividing racial issue that as of yet there is absolutely zero evidence to support.
So this black man who's mentally unwell, homeless, on the subway, apparently acting aggressively.
A Marine or an ex-Marine, I don't know if he's an ex-Marine, but a Marine person, there's a kerfuffle, ends up putting the guy in a chokehold, which he holds apparently for three minutes, and the homeless person dies.
Let me just pull up the article, see if I'm missing anything.
And it's ruled a homicide.
I mean, that's important.
Well, actually, this is from ABC7.
Police issue call for help.
Outrage continues to grow over deadly subway chokehold encounter.
Where was it that it was ruled a...
The death of the subway rider...
Are we all seeing the same thing?
We are.
The death of the subway rider who was put into a chokehold by a former Marine has been ruled a homicide.
People, to avoid defamation lawsuits or the risk thereof, homicide and murder are two legally distinct...
Homicide means the death caused at the hands of another individual.
Murder is the unlawful killing of another human.
Homicide can be lawful or it cannot be criminally culpable.
Murder cannot.
They have two entirely different legal definitions, medical definitions.
A death that is caused by another human is a homicide, even if it's self-defense.
A murder is the unlawful killing of another human being.
Now, I do have my questions as to how they've already ruled this a homicide within 24 hours of the incident, because autopsy toxicology reports typically don't come back for weeks, if not months.
Not that that might change anything.
We saw the toxicology reports, which came back in the George Floyd, change nothing of the outcome of that trial.
I'm just curious as to how they've ruled it a homicide before they could have even done certain tests, which might...
I mean, there's obvious prima facie evidence, but...
Typically, toxicology reports and autopsies are needed to conclude that something was a homicide and not spontaneous events.
Activists are calling for charges to be filed.
Planned civil protests, yada, yada, yada.
Jordan Neely, 30, died from compression of the neck, the city's medical examiners determined Wednesday.
That was yesterday.
Neely is recognizable to some New Yorkers as a Michael Jackson impersonator who danced in Times Square Transit Hub.
Monday afternoon, he was yelling and pacing back and forth on the F train, witnesses and police said, when he was restrained by at least three people, including a U.S. Marine veteran who pulled one arm tightly around his neck.
Three people is highly relevant, and it's going to come back into play in terms of the race baiting that Ayanna Pressley and AOC are getting involved in.
Because of those three people, I believe they're referring to the cameraman who was Latino, if I'm not mistaken.
Or is Latino.
The other person who helped, who's black.
And the Marine, who's white.
So a very multicultural group of people who tried to immobilize this individual.
One black, one Latino, one white.
And this is somehow being called a lynching, according to Ayanna Pressley.
We'll get there.
A physical struggle ensued, leading Neely to lose consciousness.
He was rushed to Lenox Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Wednesday evening, a medical examiner determined Neely's was a homicide.
However, that does not mean the case will be prosecuted as a homicide.
This is up to the Manhattan DA's office, which is investigating.
Prediction?
They're going to prosecute this.
Sure as sugar.
The fact that he has been released, some are taking to mean that the DA knows that they don't have enough to indict or enough to arrest or charge?
No.
They released the guy who stabbed the person to death before they ended up charging him, and then they dropped the charges?
My prediction is he's going to get charged because A, it's New York, and B, it's the world in which we live.
And C, based on the evidence that anybody has even seen, whether or not the guy is acting aggressively and whether or not initial subduing was even warranted, you don't put someone in a chokehold until they die.
That's not the purpose of a chokehold.
It's not a restraining position.
It's a putting you unconscious position.
And when you're unconscious, That's when you let go so that blood can continue circulating to the head.
So there are definite questions here, even if the individual who was restrained had been arrested 42 prior times and had an outstanding warrant for a violent felony.
That doesn't necessarily justify anything, period.
Again, facts and factors are two different things.
We'll get there.
As part of the rigorous ongoing investigation, yada, yada, we're going to assess all available video footage, identity, yada, yada.
New York Police Department is asking for help in the public as investigators review footage and other material and said the department's first priority is always to seek justice.
As news of deaths, Neely's death spread online, video of the encounter evokes strong reactions from New Yorkers.
Some described it as an act of lethal overreaction to the person in the throes of mental illness, and others defended the Marine actions.
Let's just pull up AOC's tweet here, because AOC is not one to abuse of whatever qualified immunity government members get.
Jordan Neely was murdered.
That's a criminal conclusion.
That's not even an accusation.
Murdered.
Is a criminal conclusion that there has been a conviction for murder, the unlawful killing of another human being.
This is an otherwise defamatory accusation to make of anybody.
Saying that continuing to call Rittenhouse a murderer, now that he has been convicted, now that he's been acquitted, I'm sorry, that the homicide he caused was in self-defense and therefore it wasn't murder.
Calling Rittenhouse a murderer now is defamation because it's...
You know, if you're not using it as an, in my opinion, he's a murderer, in the same way I would say, like, in my opinion, O.J. Simpson's still a murderer, even though he got acquitted.
That's not what we're reading here.
But because Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents, and can you imagine the absolute, it's disgusting, AOC.
It's absolutely disgusting that you look at this incident and try to exploit the death of a man.
For your own political, cheap political purposes.
But because Jordan was houseless and crying for food in the time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected with passive headlines and no charges.
There can be nothing more disgusting than this.
First of all, you know, there's a lot of people talking about passive headlines.
Bullshit, AOC.
There's a lot of people running around now saying mental illness.
He was in a mental crisis.
I can tell you, you know, people in mental crisis do very bad things.
There's a very infamous story out of Montreal.
Anybody who knows Cosmos, the breakfast joint.
The owner.
Tony, man of Greece, was murdered by his own son, who was in the throes of mental illness.
It was deemed legally not responsible for the death, as far as I remember, because it was, you know, it was, what do they call it?
A mental crisis.
But a mental crisis, first of all, why are so many people with mental crises not having housing, not getting food, running around the metros?
Doing what people in mental crises do.
Why is that happening so much in New York, AOC?
Instead of blaming a Marine and three bystanders who get caught up in an incident because there's yet another mental crisis of an individual who can do God knows what in the throes of that mental crisis.
Blame them?
How about you blame yourself?
How about you blame Mayor Eric Adams?
How about you blame a government that has failed the homeless?
Shipping billions of dollars off to the Ukraine and you can't even feed and take care of your own homeless.
Who are you blaming here exactly?
Mental crisis is the catchphrase now for everybody.
But she will waste no time politicizing the death of this individual.
The Hill.
Look at it.
Just beautiful.
Beautiful.
And she's not the only one.
I mean, she'll politicize it.
She's not mentioning race.
They're all going to politicize it.
Wait until you see this.
Look at this.
This is AOC.
I'm not going to play this.
This is AOC playing the video.
This is the man.
Somebody just went up from behind Michael Jackson impersonator and strangled him to death.
What does she say?
It's even worse.
He was 30 years old.
Black men deserve to grow old.
Not be lynched on a subway.
Because they were having a mental health crisis.
Jordan deserved better.
You know what the biggest problem here is, first of all?
Everyone in America deserves better than what the American government is giving them right now.
Everyone deserves better, Ayanna Pressley, and you're not giving that, and you're part of the problem.
but to refer to it as a lynching.
And people believe it.
People buy it.
And you know the absolute disgusting thing here is?
Lynching.
Referring to this as a lynching when a black man was involved in restraining the individual.
A lynching.
It's not just that it's race-baiting at its worst.
It actually ends up minimizing and diluting the atrocity of historical racial justice that actually happened that were actual lynchings.
It just...
Shits on the history of racial violence and tries to stoke current racial violence.
So I replied to this.
Do we see it?
The fact that the victim, the homeless individual, he's still a victim.
There's no question about it.
The fact that he was black is a fact of the case.
But as of yet...
No evidence that it was a factor of the case.
This is something, you know, like, some people will willfully have a problem distinguishing.
Facts versus factors.
Someone can be fat, and that is not relevant to something that happens, but someone can be fat or overweight, and that becomes a factor to something that happens to them.
This guy was black.
That's a fact.
Is there any evidence that the race of the victim here played any determinate factor in this case?
Was the Marine shouting racial slurs as he was choking him?
If he was, that would be a relevant factor.
Unless there's evidence to that, just saying because he's black, therefore it was a factor, that's almost racism.
He was black, therefore it had to have been because he was black, according to Anna Presley.
He also had 42 arrests and an outstanding warrant for a violent felony.
So do we also conclude by Ayanna Pressley's rationale that it had to have happened because he had a warrant out for his arrest for a violent felony?
No.
Because until we know that his history of violence was a factor in what happened, some people might assume that it was or presume that it was, but we don't yet know that he was involved in any act of violence on the day of.
The fact that it's a fact does not mean that it's a factor.
Leave it to these people, these race-baiting politicians, to try to exploit the death of an individual to further their own political divide, their own political careers, and their own quest for seeking virtue points on social media.
Let me see if I have anything more on that.
As far as the evidence goes as of now, the Marine has not been charged.
There were three people involved in it, from what I understand.
One was Black, one was Latino, who was recording, and the Marine, who, from what I understand, is no longer in the Marines.
There's no evidence that he was shouting racial slurs at this individual.
There is some evidence that the individual was acting aggressively, clearly having a mental crisis.
I mean, clearly having a mental crisis, by all accounts, does that mean that someone should choke him to death?
Absolutely not.
And if someone's going to be using...
Lethal force to subdue threats.
A, in order for it to be justified, it has to be proportionate to the risk being posed.
But once someone goes unconscious, tough to argue that there's a risk there anymore.
And if someone doesn't know how to use a chokehold, you're walking a very, very risky line of liability by implementing a chokehold excessively that leads to the death of the person who was put in the chokehold, even if they were acting crazy and having a mental crisis.
That's the evidence thus far.
We know that he has a history of violence, the victim.
42 arrests, some for violent felonies with an outstanding warrant for a violent felony, which is a felony causing grievous bodily harm.
What we don't know, what factor, if any, race played.
But you're living in a world now where the subways of New York are not exactly the safest place on Earth anymore, to put it mildly.
And in that world, in your Dirty Harry, in your Death Wish world of the 60s, vigilantism and overreaction of a general public that is fed up with an insufferable, dangerous state of society, there's no justification and there's no but.
It leads to crap like this, and it might very well lead to arrest charges against the Marine and involuntary manslaughter or some other charges.
Implement potentially deadly...
Tactics that you're unfamiliar with or don't have sufficient training for that leads to a death?
If the guy's unconscious and you maintain a chokehold and he ends up dying, you're going to have some questions to answer.
Whether or not this entire situation is the result of politicians politicking while destroying society and then exploiting the tragedies of a society in decay for their own political virtue signaling careers.
Speaking of which, In Canada!
So, in Canada, by the way, it recently...
Actually, you know, before we get to that story, let me just see something here.
Let's go to the chat in Rumble and just see what's going on there.
Sariel says, maybe they killed him with a hospital fry.
Possibly.
Maybe they knew each other.
JRon667.
I remember in the early days of Derek Chauvin, George Floyd, you know...
They were bouncers at the same club.
They were hypothesizing as to what might have explained the animosity or the seeming lack of care of Chauvin.
There's so much that's not known.
But what is known right now is that there is no evidence that race played anything to warrant the race-baiting, socially destructive rhetoric coming from Ayanna Pressley, AOC.
Murder.
murder Herb Green says, if you choke someone and they end up dying, well, you killed that person.
That's true.
And then if that's the case, and then the question is going to be, well, it was self-defense, it was necessary.
But, I mean, we'll see.
It's a tragedy all around because the Marine, by all accounts, I don't think, either it's not known or it has not come to surface if, or he just doesn't have any criminal record.
You know, I doubt the Marine woke up that morning and said, I want to go kill an innocent person on a metro, on a subway.
But this is what happens when the...
Then they have, yeah.
Oh, Grammikin says, oh, hell, Viva, why don't you just go ahead and demand the Marine shoot the crazy guy in the knee?
No, oh, Grammikin, it's not a fair analogy.
Because I think it's clear when people do chokeholds when someone loses consciousness.
But then, again, apparently there's more video footage out there that might change some opinions.
But it'll be too late.
The lie has already traveled across the world.
Okay.
Canada, people.
This made the news a little while ago.
Canada has decriminalized small amounts of possession of crack, cocaine, heroin, other stuff.
Let's just...
It made the news.
What better way to destigmatize drug addiction?
What better way to tackle drug addiction?
What better way to bring down crime than to turn crime into non-crime?
And I say this not exactly knowing what the full solution is to the rampant drug addiction problem that British Columbia, Vancouver in particular faces.
The argument is that by legalizing it, you eliminate the black market.
Bullshit.
And anybody who says that will probably just want to go take a look at the cigarette market in the...
Is it Aquasauce?
No, in the Kahnawake Reserve.
There's always going to be something of a black market or a gray market, especially when you charge too much for it.
So when the government comes in and charges a lot for cigarettes, people go find the black market for cigarettes.
So the legalizing...
Or decriminalizing of small amounts of possession of crack, cocaine, whatever.
I don't know that that's going to do anything to the black market.
And I was listening to Joe Rogan the other day where they were hypothesizing that decriminalizing marijuana would eliminate the black market when, in actuality, the black market still accounts for the majority of marijuana, from what I understand.
And yeah, that's what happened in Canada recently.
And the new...
Oh, you know, hold on.
I'm getting into the article.
That's what happened in Canada.
Something was circulating on the interwebs today, and it appeared to be a picture of a menu.
It appeared to be a picture of a menu of somebody selling, having a menu of drugs.
I think it's Vancouver.
A store selling what I think...
See, it limits it to two and a half grams, which is the...
Decriminalized amount for possession.
The drugstore.
No impurities or cuts.
18 plus ID required.
Cocaine.
This is in Vancouver.
Crack heroin.
This is crack cocaine.
I'm sorry.
I don't know my hard drugs well enough.
Heroin.
Methamphetamine.
MDMA.
100% fentanyl free.
Tested supply.
So I thought this was a joke.
Or at least a parody or maybe disinformation because the rules, as far as I understand, that they've been changed is to decriminalize possession of up to two and a half grams, which is why it limits it there.
Anybody selling it necessarily has to have more than two and a half grams lest they only make one sale a day.
And I still don't think distribution is illegal.
But it turns out that it's true.
Hold on, don't...
Don't get to the punchline of my witty take on this.
It turns out that it's true.
There's a guy in Vancouver, here, illegal drugstore selling heroin, meth, cocaine in downtown Vancouver for safe supply.
They cloak their benevolence.
They cloak their wrongdoings in benevolence.
This guy is like, I'm doing it to ensure a safe supply, so I'm going to charge you 200 bucks for two grands.
But it's a true story.
A Vancouver man has opened a mobile drugstore to provide a safe supply of illicit substances to users in the downtown core.
How the hell are the users going to afford 200 bucks for cocaine?
A Vancouver band has opened up a mobile drugstore to provide a safe supply of illicit substances to users in the downtown core.
Drug user advocates have been calling for an accessible safe supply for years to combat the toxic and drug overdose crisis.
And now, Jerry Martin has taken matters into his own hands.
We are trying to help curb overdoses and other dangers that happen from drug buying.
He told Global News.
And for the low, low price of $220 for two and a half grams of cocaine, you can get your safe.
I'm doing it for the greater good, people.
We are providing testing and supplies so people can do drugs safer.
It's the end of times, people.
Wednesday was the opening day for the drugstore, a small mobile store that is selling heroin, meth, cocaine, and MD.
I have a question.
How the hell does he defend that store?
I mean, Canadians don't.
Walk around with guns.
Not allowed.
Guns are totally illegal.
Crack cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl, not fentanyl, but MDMA.
You can't have small guns, but you can have small amounts of narcotics.
All of which have been tested at a drug testing site for harmful additives, Martin said.
He's a good man, this Martin.
Just for someone buying their drugs, this is a lot safer.
People have to go through many things to get their drugs.
You could get robbed in an alley.
And many women get abused.
He's doing it for the women, people.
He's doing it for the women and for the children.
Oh, no, not the children.
That would be wrong.
It's also going to stop a lot of overdoses as people don't even know what they are getting typically.
It's very important people know what they are buying.
Yada, yada.
Okay.
In a statement, Vancouver police...
Remember, people.
The same Vancouver police that sat there idly by and watched Billboard Chris get violently assaulted while saying nothing but holding a billboard at...
at a university.
Vancouver police said they are aware of the storm and will consider enforcement against anyone violating the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
Right after they're done hunting down those pesky COVID ticket peeps, Martin said he actually wants to be arrested in an effort to raise funds to launch a constitutional challenge to make all drugs legalized, which he said costs around $250,000.
Community members at the opening said they believed in Martin's work.
It's important to set a precedent for things like this.
If there's an opportunity for clean drugs to replace dirty drugs that are killing people, then why not?
Oh, I don't know, because you don't actually solve the problem?
It's amazing.
To solve gun violence, you illegalize all guns, and you go after the black market of guns.
Nobody ever says to eliminate gun violence, we should legalize guns.
Nobody says that for some reason.
And by the way...
As far as gun violence goes, there's actually good reason to support that theory, and there's actually good studies from what I understand that show that the less stringent but not willy-nilly gun regulations, gun violence tends to go down.
Something about being able to defend yourself with a gun.
You can't really defend yourself with a rock of crack, as far as I know.
I think it can only be a good thing, said Dominique Jean Couture, a Vancouver resident.
Sir, that's why you are living in the squalor that Vancouver is living in right now.
I think it can only be a good thing.
Legalize narcotics.
It can only be a good thing.
What can possibly go wrong?
When it comes to guns, though, however, which have a very practical function for self-defense and are not purely destructive, as are drugs, I think they're going to be contrarians that think it's just allowing people to do drugs, but that do drugs.
The people that do drugs are dying.
I think it's a step in the right direction.
Martin said he'd be putting the money earned from the store back into the community, but did not offer exact...
Oh, you know how he's going to put it back into the community?
He's going to go shopping.
He's going to buy stuff.
He's going to support the community.
Bullshit.
I'll call bullshit, and if I'm wrong, I'll apologize.
Bullshit.
Oh, I'm going to put the money back in the community.
Yep.
Well, I guess he's right.
Is he going to pay taxes on that?
Hey, if the government can tax it, maybe the government won't enforce it.
Oh, so that's what's actually going on in Canada, people.
And it's new Canada.
No Way Jerk says, I have said that many times an armed people is a polite people.
Nature Lover Freedom says, no one gives a damn about the greater good.
No, no, Nature Lover, he's selling the drugs for the greater good.
He's going to put the money back into the community somehow.
Doesn't know how yet.
Take his word for it.
He didn't elaborate when Global asked him.
And is the government going to go after him?
They've got enough to go after him for unlawful, illegal distribution of narcotics.
If he's selling two and a half gram max doses so they can legally possess, he is illegally possessing more than what he's allowed to possess.
Actually, it's the idea that, hey, if he declares it, maybe the government won't go after him.
We'll see.
Oh yeah, my smart take.
How dare the greedy bastard sell the drugs to addicts and people in need?
The only moral thing to do is give the drugs away.
How dare he try to profit off other people's...
Typo.
Addiction.
That's where this goes, right?
It's only going to be a matter of time.
Before people say the government needs to give the drugs for free to people who claim to be addicts, that's the only way to bring down addiction.
It's the only way to reduce overdoses.
Give the drugs away.
I mean, you can't make addicts pay for their drugs because they're addicts.
I mean, you're going to make them go steal to get money to pay for the drugs that you've now decriminalized.
The only moral thing to do is for the government to take taxpayer dollars, buy drugs from whomever.
And then distribute the drugs for free to addicts.
That's the only way to get them off.
It's a Babylon Bee headline that's going to come to fruition sooner than later.
All right, what else do we got here?
Look at this.
In a world that's gone absolute batshit crazy, one must continually operate.
By redefining words and using euphemisms to make the unpalatable palatable.
We're going to read the latest news coming out of Maryland.
And I've got to say, people, Maryland Democratic Governor Wes Moore has signed bills into law that enshrine abortion rights and protect gender-affirming care.
Gender-affirming care.
And abortion rights.
At least, we'll see if they call it reproductive rights in the article.
Regardless of what your position is on these questions, there are a great many people out there.
It's a nuanced debate when it comes to when abortion should be criminalized, when it ought to be tolerated despite...
being morally objectionable and when and or if it should ever be legally acceptable at any stage after conception has occurred.
But let's not distance ourselves from what we're talking about when you call it reproductive rights or abortion rights.
It's ending the life of an unborn...
It's ending the life.
Let's...
Some people are going to say it's not an unborn child because it's not a child until it's born.
Or it's not a child until it has brain activity.
Or it's not a baby until it has a heartbeat.
Or some people are going to say it's always an unborn child and you're never allowed to.
And some people are going to take the sick and twisted route and say it's never a child until the mother decides that she wants to have it.
If we can determine what a mother is.
It's ending the life of something.
It's called reproductive rights so that people can palate the idea that they're ending a life by not having to refer to it as ending a life, even if you don't think it's a fully developed, viable human.
Gender-affirming care involves purity blockers and what people say doesn't exist.
Bottom surgery, gender-affirming hysterectomies, double mastectomies.
The amazing thing is there are people out there who say, well, that doesn't happen.
So you're a bigot for suggesting that that happens.
Well, if that doesn't happen, then people shouldn't have any problem legislating a prohibition on that.
The fact of the matter is it does happen.
I interviewed Chloe Cole, to whom it happened.
15 years of age, had a double mastectomy.
The fact is, it does happen.
There was a doctor at the Boston Children's, I think it was, gleefully talking about the joys of gender-affirming hysterectomy.
Gender-affirming care.
But let's see what the article was.
Are we in the article?
No, we're not.
This is the article.
Hold on.
How do I get the article here, here, and here?
That's the latest news.
By the way, when politicians are smiling that much, that's like a...
That's like Pablo Rodriguez and Jean-Yves Duclos smiling.
We just passed Bill C-11.
Oh, yeah, we're going to use it.
Maryland Democratic Governor Westmore signed into bills that enshrine abortion rights, gender-affirming care.
In our state, no one should have to justify their humanity.
More said at the signing.
In our state, no one should have to justify their own humanness.
Maybe the unborn child, if some people consider that to be a human?
No.
Is Maryland one of those states where if someone punches a pregnant woman in the stomach and the baby dies, they can get charged with murder?
But if the mother decides to abort that baby...
We're not denying anyone's humanness?
I don't know what Maryland's law is on that.
The governor's approval comes as some Democratic-led states have enacted similar protections, while several legislatures with a GOP majority have moved in the opposite direction to pass a near-total bans on abortion and gender-affirming care for minors.
I thought it wasn't happening.
If minors are not being introduced to and undergoing puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, double mastectomies, double history...
Gender-affirming hysterectomies, lopping off of the penises, what they call bottom...
If they're not doing it, why would anyone object to the legislation?
While our states are dead set...
That's probably not the best term to use.
Dead set on ripping away reproductive...
Oh, while other states...
Sorry, then it makes more sense.
Are dead set on ripping away reproductive rights and attempting to erase the existence of tran and non...
Oh my goodness.
We're doing the opposite.
We're promoting a contagion among minors.
Lieutenant Governor, we're making Maryland a state that is welcoming, inclusive, and that safeguards the rights of all people, except for the unborn and except for the rights of minors who are confused and might think things are cool now that they're not going to think are cool in a decade.
Along with asshrining abortion as a fundamental right, the new measures mandate public colleges and universities develop and implement a reproductive health services plan, which includes enshrining that students have access to over-the-counter content.
contraceptive.
No one would disagree with that.
Under one measure, judges are prohibited from requiring individuals to provide testimony or evidence Another measure.
Another measure.
I want to say to all women who are out there who are wondering what will happen, who are worried about their future, please hear me loud and clear.
Maryland will be a safe haven for abortion, access, and abortion rights.
Okay.
I mean, I hear people talking about the national divorce, and it certainly seems that that's where the world is heading.
At least that's where America is heading.
It's a de facto national divorce right now where you have people...
Fleeing New York, fleeing California, moving to Florida, moving to Texas, moving to Tennessee, moving to New Hampshire.
I don't know how many people are fleeing to run to these Democrat states.
I don't know what the opposite immigration is, state immigration.
My initial guess would be that it's not quite the same, but I don't know.
Okay, hold on one second.
Ocasio-Cortez.
Here, let's see here.
What was this?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, so the latest in Canada, by the way, this is another one that's just amazing in Canada.
You see images and you say, oh my goodness, are they true?
There's been federal worker protests up in Canada going on for a little while.
I think they might have struck a deal with the federal government because, you know...
All they're demanding is better working conditions and higher salaries, and the federal government just pays that with taxpayer dollars so it's no skin off their back, a budget that will balance itself, according to Justin Trudeau.
And if they need to pay the federal employees more, they just need to go dip into the back pockets of Canadian taxpaying citizens.
I saw this image pointing out some hypocrisy, like, no, this can't be real.
These are...
The federal workers apparently holding up protest signs on the street that say honk, honk.
And it says 2% is for milk and I'm lactose intolerant.
So it's a no.
I don't even get that.
These are federal protesters, federal workers protesting in Canada, literally holding up signs that say honk.
In the wake of the Ottawa protest, where people were getting fined for honking, when honking...
Was deemed to be an assault, a terroristic assault on a citizen population, and where, even more hilariously, for some, honk honk was not just some innocuous joke, it was an alt-right reference to Heil Hitler.
Gwen Snyder is on Mastodon.
People still do that?
Oh, this is ridiculous.
A very powerful Antifa woman who was followed by Barack Obama on Twitter.
34,000.
Antifa organizer, she, they.
She, they.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Oh, this is going to get interesting.
She's a member of Antifa, which, according to Joe Biden, doesn't exist.
It's just an idea.
Antifascist organizer, writer, she, they.
A very powerful Antifa woman who's being followed or retweeted by...
We'll get there in a second.
It's easy to miss Nazi alt-right signifiers or if you aren't swimming in this cesspool all the time.
So this is going to be a running thread on what to watch for with emphasis on vocabulary and symbols that should make you suspicious.
Let's start with a classic and a new variant 8-8 and H-H phrase like honk honk.
They mean Heil Hitler.
H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, thus 8-8.
Honk honk is associated with the honkler and is often used ironically by alt-right trolls.
Do you know what this is like?
I think it's gematria.
You can basically do anything, play with numbers together.
It doesn't matter.
So apparently, according to this admitted member of Antifa, honk honk signifies Heil Hitler.
This was retweeted by Ya 'ara Sachs.
Ya 'ara Zaks.
Well, I mean, I guess if you're reading the Hebrew, it's Ya 'ara Zaks.
MP for York Center.
Member of Parliament for York Center.
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Families, Children, and Social Development.
She, her, el.
And in Hebrew, it's at, he.
I can still read Hebrew.
Ya 'ara Zaks retweeted a member of Antifa.
A member of Parliament, a member of Canadian Parliament, retweeted a member of the Antifa, a self-proclaimed member of Antifa, who's apparently followed by Obama, to show that Hong Kong is not just an innocuous joke, it's Heil Hitler.
She said as much, by the way, in Parliament.
I'm going to see if I can find the video.
And I just had to, you know, continue to point out the descent into madness.
Don't you love it when your stupidity comes back to haunt you?
I guess those federal employees holding up the honk honk signs are Nazis right...
No, of course not, Viva.
Don't be stupid.
It's not when they do it.
It's only when someone else...
They're good people, these...
Hold on a second.
I got to find her.
When they do it...
First of all, when they tell you to honk your horn...
It's not a crime.
It's not unlawful.
It's encouraging lawful protests on the streets that are affecting essential services, immigration papers, border crossings, passport services.
When they do that, it's fine, idiot.
When you do it, it's terrorism.
When they get cars to honk on the streets, it's fine.
When you do it, it's terrorism, idiot.
You're a bigot, you're a racist, and you should know better.
When they say honk honk, it's fine.
When you say honk honk, even if you happen to be Jewish, you're a Nazi.
You're saying Heil Hitler.
I want to see if I can find the video.
Let me just go here.
Video honk honk.
Let's just see if we can find this real quick like.
Real quick like.
I think we did.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Yes, people.
Can't go?
Do this to clear out stuck poop.
Why would I get that ad?
Fiber helps you poop, right?
Nope.
That ad has nothing.
How many guns need to be seized?
How much vitriol do we have to see of honk honk, which is an acronym for Hail Hitler, do we need to see by these protesters on social media?
Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas.
They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag.
Look at the minions behind him.
Wearing their masks.
Trudeau's not wearing his mask right now.
He's talking.
Science, people.
Deadliest pandemic ever.
Take your mask off to talk.
Nodding like buffoons.
Nodding like cult men.
The leader is good.
The leader is great.
We surrender our will as of this day.
We will choose to stand with Canadians who deserve to be able to get to their jobs, who be able to get their lives back.
These illegal protests need to stop, and they will, Mr. Speaker.
I can't do anymore.
How much vitriol do we have to see of honk honk, which is an acronym for Hail Hitler?
An acronym?
An acronym for Hail Hitler.
She just called these lovely ladies here Nazis.
All right.
That was it.
Unbelievable.
The world has gone mad, people.
I have said that many times.
Okay, sorry.
I'm way back on the chat here.
Let me see what's going on here.
She will never live that down, says nature.
I mean, she should be ashamed of herself.
The thing is, she clearly had no faith in it even when she said it.
She's, like, uncomfortable.
She knows she's a dumb liar.
She knows that it sounds outrageously stupid.
But I don't know.
Did she know that she was retweeting an Antifa member?
Oh, no.
But Pierre Poilievre randomly takes a picture with someone who's a Diaglon member and doesn't even know it.
End of his career.
Ya 'ara Zaks retweeted an Antifa member.
That should be bigger news.
I didn't realize that at the time.
What do we have here?
I think that's it, people.
And I also can't go for too long today because we're going to have a barbecue with the kids and I got to edit together my day in the life.
Let me go to the chat for just a few seconds on Rumble before we go over to locals.
Exclusively, people.
There are no more Rumble rants.
Let me just go to the chat and see what's going on here.
Canadian MSM is bought and paid for on our 234th.
Literally, no pun intended.
A smallmouth Slayer 603 says, at one point I thought about moving to the Yukon and building a cabin.
That actually, you know, sounds very good.
RealTruth22 says, synonym, not acronym.
No, first of all, it would be an alliteration.
It wouldn't even be a synonym.
The acronym is that it comes from Hong Kong, HH, Heil Hitler.
I mean, do a hothouse.
Do a hothead.
It's so stupid, it's just beyond words.
But yeah, it wouldn't even be an acronym.
It would have been an alliteration, I think.
I mean, who the hell?
There's no logic to the stupidity.
Let's not try to make it...
Thank you for the great show, says Hoppity Hooper.
I hate the stories of these tragedies.
I hate those stories.
What's going on.
It's just terrible.
But I couldn't get over the shamelessness of the political exploitation of the tragedy.
A lynching.
Who was it that...
It's like when you use the word...
It's like when PETA uses the word Holocaust to refer to killing of cows and chicken.
It's just absolutely degrading to the actual history of actual holocausts and not limiting it to World War II holocaust, Armenian genocide.
You throw these words around and then you politically exploit them in situations where they don't apply.
You shit on history.
You actually minimize the very history that you think you're appealing to, but I have a darn good feeling she knows she's not appealing to it.
I have a darn good feeling she knows exactly what she's doing.
She just doesn't care.
Viva, it's onomatopoeia.
We're going to have...
That is from SoaringSparrowLA.
And what else we got here?
NoJabbers says Bud Light has now repackaged and reintroduced their bottles.
I'm not reading that.
Sorry, I did not read that all the way through before I started.
NoJabbers says if that is not someone's stand-up joke, someone has to steal that for stand-up, but stand-up is not my thing.
And what else?
Someone's asking for a source.
And I want to see what they're asking for a source for.
Unfolding Joker says, Viva Much Love from the Salty Legion.
Thank you very much.
Okay, people.
I'll play us out with me today.
Because I did a car vlog yesterday because we had no sidebar.
But I ended up sitting in a car for an hour waiting for my kid to do kickboxing.
So I was either going to go fishing or I was going to do something more useful.
So I did something more useful.
I did a car vlog.
It's currently on Rumble and YouTube.
It's about Tucker Carlson.
Saturday, I'm going to actually have a live stream with Unlearn16.
We've been having a back and forth on Twitter.
I think it's going to be fun.
Talking about Tucker Carlson.
So I'm going to end on Rumble with this.
Move on over to Locals for the Locals after party.
While I do that, actually before I do that, let me just go share this here.
I've got some...

Stop it, Lord of the Re.
I'm married.
No cringe ending, says Nature Freedom.
Okay, there will be no cringe.
There's going to be me talking.
How do I get back to this thing?
So enjoy this, my take on Tucker, even though people are trying to dredge up more stuff, and I'm sure there will be more discussions of the terrible, terrible things that Tucker Carlson has said on Bubba the Love Sponge 15 years ago.
Let's end on this, and I'll meet you on Locals in one minute.
Can we just stop for a moment and appreciate what legacy media is trying to do to Tucker Carlson right here?
They're trying to destroy an individual, reduce a complex being that has been on this earth for decades, reduce him to the label of racist because of one potentially poorly drafted sentence in a private text message to his producer.
It's not how white men fight in the context of a text message in which he lamented, in which he criticized himself for having negative thoughts, wishing ill on others, saying that it reduces him to no better than...
This man, his entire existence, destroyed, reduced to a label because of one sentence in a private text message It's not like this guy wrote off an entire community as not having fathers, being born out of wedlock, being prone to violence, taking lead pipes to women's heads, not having a fully developed conscience.
It's not like he said things like that.
When you say things like that, you become president.
The end result is they're about to knock my mother on the head with a lead pipe, shoot my sister, beat up my wife, take on my son.
Tens of thousands of them, born out of wedlock, without parents, without supervision, without any structure, without any conscience developing.
Hey.
Hey locals, I'm back.
Without any conscience developing.
