	Along the way, the Biden administration has been slow in providing military support.
	Make no mistake about this.
	We promised them 33 Abrams tanks in January.
	I heard again two weeks ago in Ukraine.
	They still don't have them.
	We've been telling them we'll train their F-16 pilots, but now they're saying maybe January we'll let somebody transfer some jets.
	I'm sorry, Mr. Vice President.
	I know you're running for president.
	You are distressed that the Ukrainians don't have enough American tanks.
	Every city in the United States...
	There are so many things.
	I'm going to have to play this again.
	Mike Pence is a jackass.
	I mean, have I never noticed it?
	Would he just...
	Thank you for noticing?
	That's a jackass comment.
	And he's like, look...
	I know the format is not one where he's supposed to be gazing into the loving eyes of Tucker Carlson.
	But this is a look of utter disdain that he is projecting to the crowd.
	His disdain for Tucker Carlson.
	And the question that he's asking right now, thank you for noticing.
	Thank you for proving that you're a jackass, and I never noticed this.
	The United States has become much worse over the past three years.
	Drive around.
	There's not one city that's gotten better in the United States.
	And it's visible.
	Our economy has degraded.
	The suicide rate has jumped.
	Public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased.
	And yet...
	Your concern is that the Ukrainians, a country most people can't find on a map, who've received tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars, don't have enough tanks.
	I think it's a fair question to ask, like, where's the concern for the United States in that?
	Well, it's not my concern.
	Tucker, I've heard that routine from you before, but that's not my concern.
	I'm running for president of the United States because I think this country is in a lot of trouble.
	I think Joe...
	I want to pretend...
	Like, I want to give Mike Pence the benefit of the doubt, despite that jackassery that we just saw there.
	That's not my concern.
	And he says it not once, but twice.
	We're going to play this again, because I also want to highlight something that I think many of you might have already realized.
	Along the way, the Biden administration has been slow in providing military support.
	Make no mistake about this.
	Make no mistake.
	Let me be clear.
	Make no mistake.
	When someone starts a tweet like that.
	A sentence like that, a statement like that, what do we say?
	90% of the time, more often than not, if we don't want to quantify it, what's going to follow is absolute rubbish.
	Make no mistake.
	Can you believe that the criticism here of the U.S. is that they're not providing tanks and military support fast enough to Ukraine?
	That's the criticism.
	They're not providing F-16 training.
	They're not quickly enough.
	Marching towards World War III, crossing one red line after another as to what they would not do in terms of escalation with a nuclear superpower over what is a regional conflict that predates the 2022 alleged beginning of this conflict.
	Make no mistake.
	Promised them 33 Abrams tanks in January.
	I heard again two weeks ago in Ukraine.
	They still don't have them.
	Still don't have them.
	Look at this guy.
	He's taking classes.
	On how to present himself.
	We've been telling them we'll train their F-16 pilots.
	Train their F-16 pilots, and now because of that undercover recording, or that journalist who captured Nadler, Jerry Nadler, not Ralph, I'm thinking of Ralph Nader, Jerry Nadler, talking about, well, if we give them F-16s and they go bomb Moscow, we don't have to sanction it.
	I mean, sure, it'll start World War III because we're basically...
	We're basically sanctioning it.
	Now we want to train their pilots how to use F-16s to what?
	Now they're saying maybe January we'll let somebody transfer some jets.
	Look at Tucker's face, by the way.
	I love Tucker.
	Period.
	I love Tucker.
	There.
	He cannot...
	I mean, one thing I like about Tucker's interview style, he lets the interlocutor speak.
	I think...
	I do the same even when I disagree with them, but I do know that I can get a little ADHD, hyperactive, and interrupt more than I even want to.
	I like that Tucker Carlson lets his interlocutors speak, but even he here has to put an end to this rubbish coming out of Mike Pence.
	I'm sorry, Mr. Vice President.
	I know you're running for president.
	You are distressed that the Ukrainians...
	Great comeback, Pence.
	...don't have enough American tanks.
	Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years.
	Drive around.
	There's not one city that's gotten better in the United States.
	Talk about reading the room as well.
	Pence, if you've taken a class, read the response to the room here.
	And it's visible.
	Our economy has degraded.
	The suicide rate has jumped.
	Public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased.
	And yet...
	Right now, by the way, you look at Mike Pence.
	He's just waiting to say what he wants to say.
	He's not listening.
	He's not digesting.
	He's not processing.
	He is just waiting for his turn to speak.
	The most disingenuous form of intercourse dialogue there is out there.
	Is it the Ukrainians?
	a country most people can't find on a map.
	I don't like that point.
	The fact that people couldn't find it on a map does not mean that there's not bad stuff going on there.
	Most people couldn't find Sudan on a map.
	Most people couldn't find Libya on a map.
	That doesn't mean that there's not a wild disarray state of injustice going on there, but I understand what Tucker's getting at.
	While they continue to ship billions, arms, aid, money, Americans, and this goes for Canada too, the West's Is in decline.
	The West can't feed their own citizens.
	They can't shelter their own homeless.
	They can't help their own veterans.
	They can send them off to fight and then they come back homeless.
	I think it was Tom McDonald.
	He had a great, great line in one of his songs and I forget what it was.
	You send them to fight overseas and then they come back to be homeless.
	This is what's happening in America.
	What do you have to say about it, Pence?
	Think about it.
	Your answer is going to be wrong.
	Tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars don't have enough tanks.
	I think it's a fair question to...
	Look at the way he looks over.
	Like, are you done yet?
	I'm waiting to talk.
	I'm waiting to say my thing here.
	I'm not listening to you.
	I'm just listening to you to stop.
	Don't have enough tanks.
	I think it's a fair question to ask, like, where's the concern for the United States in that?
	Well, it's not my concern.
	Tucker, I've heard that routine from you before, but that's not my concern.
	I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't know what he was answering when he said that's not my concern.
	I've heard that routine before.
	Pray tell, Pence, what is that routine?
	That you're neglecting your own home, your own citizens, while fomenting regime change proxy war conflict overseas?
	I've heard that routine from you before.
	Hey, it's not...
	Oh, now I hear myself again.
	Why does this keep happening?
	Why do I continually hear myself in the background?
	Give me a second, people.
	It's been happening since I've...
	Oh, jeez, this one might be tough to find.
	This is getting annoying even for me, people.
	I've got a bunch of things up in the background.
	Share screen.
	Let me see what's going on here.
	Oh.
	That's not it.
	Okay, it's because I have one window open with rumble in the back.
	I fixed it.
	Okay, good.
	Now I can go back to distracting myself if I can find the window where I was open now.
	Oh, here we go.
	We're back.
	Yep.
	I've heard the routine.
	Let's bring that out.
	It's madness.
	Before I go into the article where, you know, he's heard the routine.
	Thank you for your concerns, Tucker.
	Now we're going to go send, what is it, 2,000 or 3,000 reservists over to Europe?
	We're not going to give him F-16s.
	That would start a war.
	We're not going to give him Abrams tanks.
	That might start a war.
	You can have a little bit of an incursion.
	We're not going to cross certain lines.
	Now we're sending in thousands of reservists to Europe.
	They are, is it goose stepping?
	Is it tiptoeing?
	I've never thought I'd live through a time where I could say, how the hell can this happen in real time?
	You read the history.
	Of how World War I broke out.
	And you're like, oh, it was one mistake after another.
	How could people be so stupid then?
	You look at how World War II broke out.
	Maybe a little tougher to explain or to avoid World War II.
	Maybe.
	You are watching the West.
	And I dare say there's a good reason why they're doing it.
	You're watching them run.
	Full throttle, full speed ahead into World War III.
	And I think there's a reason why they're doing it because the shittier things get back home, the more they need a wild distraction from it.
	You know, in Canada, we're going to get into this in today's stream.
	You got your, what do they call it?
	Your summer pollution price rebate.
	I mean, I know what it is now because I had to look it up because it's just verbal diarrhea.
	11 million Canadians having trouble paying groceries.
	What better way to distract Canadians from the misery?
	Find a bigger boogeyman so that they can distract from their own misery thinking, you know, Focusing on this distraction, that is a man-made, West-made distraction.
	Can you ever imagine a time in history where instead of looking at diplomacy and looking for diplomacy, we have actually looked to further exacerbate conflict?
	Where instead of having meetings with, I'm going to forget the word now, diplomats, you're expelling diplomats, when instead of actually talking how to make peace, all that you're doing is talking about how to promote and finance war?
	They're doing it on purpose because shit has hit the fan back home, and the only way to distract from that is to create bigger scandals, exacerbate bigger scandals overseas, or even at home.
	Just find one crisis to distract from another, even if it means manufacturing that crisis.
	And for those of you who haven't heard the news, there was some stupid thing that happened yesterday with Biden that they were using to distract from.
	The important thing that happened yesterday...
	Is it yesterday this news came out?
	July 13th, and it's July 14th today.
	Yeah, it's Bastille Day.
	Justin Trudeau, the ever-ignorant buffoon that he is, is wishing France Happy Bastille Day.
	He doesn't understand the history of Bastille Day and what it meant in terms of the French Revolution.
	They're idiots.
	Justin Trudeau, you know, he likes to pick on whatever holiday it is to show his support for minority groups.
	Doesn't understand...
	Half of the holidays that he promotes because many of them have to do with overthrowing corrupt tyrannical regimes.
	Here's the news from Politico, a decent source.
	Biden orders 3,000 reservists to be ready for Europe deployments.
	It's not clear whether the troops will actually be deployed, but it suggests the U.S. military presence in Europe is under strain.
	What would happen?
	If people just boycotted war?
	I mean, I know the argument is, well, then the true tyrants, the true war mongers would just take over the world.
	You know, passivity doesn't work on bullies.
	What would happen if the Reserves say, we're not doing this.
	We are not escalating this.
	First of all, we're not going to go die overseas when there is what to die for back home.
	There is infrastructure.
	There is crisis at home.
	Why are we going to fight, bleed, and die and exacerbate conflict overseas?
	What would happen if they just said, no, we're not going?
	President Joe Biden has authorized the military to call up 3,000 reserve troops to support operations in Europe after tens of thousands were sent there last year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a top general said Thursday.
	Remember when it was revealed that, you know, there were allied fighters?
	Among Ukrainians on the front lines actually fighting Russia, that might be crossing another red line that the West said they wouldn't cross because this is a war between Russia and Ukraine, and the West isn't getting involved in it.
	But the future of Ukraine is in NATO, according to airhead Melanie Jolie, who has no business in the position of power that she is currently in.
	Melanie Jolie is the Minister of Foreign Affairs out of Canada, from lawyer to mayor.
	To World War III.
	Although it's not clear whether Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin plans to actually deploy these reservists anytime soon, the move suggests that the U.S. military training mission in Europe, along with the deployment of several new brigades after the invasion, has stretched active duty forces.
	This reaffirms as long as it takes two weeks to flatten the curve, people.
	This reaffirms the unwavering support and commitments to the defense of NATO's eastern flank in the wake of Russia's illegal and unprovoked war on Ukraine.
	Lieutenant General Douglas Sims, the Director of Operations Joint Chief of Staffs.
	While the move gives military European commander greater flexibility...
	Okay, it goes on.
	Oh yeah, by the way, just the other thing.
	Who are the criminals?
	Yes, by all accounts, there have been cluster bombs being used by...
	Both sides in Russia-Ukraine conflict.
	There's a world of difference between Russia and Ukraine using the awful, what ought to be a crime against humanity cluster bombs versus America supplying cluster bombs to Ukraine.
	The news also comes as Ukraine continues to hammer away at Russia's main defensive lines in the Donetsk and Zyprosia regions.
	Although senior Pentagon officials hope that Kiev's forces will recapture more significant territory soon, they say progress has been slower than hoped.
	New American cluster bombs have arrived in Ukraine.
	And when those land and they blow up kids and they blow up people years after this conflict is over, who's to blame for that?
	New American cluster bombs have arrived in Ukraine after the Pentagon announced the controversial decision to send them last week.
	It's an amazing thing, eh?
	It's controversial when your allies do it.
	It's a war crime when your adversaries do it.
	Oh, they'll be effective.
	They'll be effective.
	Good afternoon.
	East Coast.
	Good morning, West Coast.
	Good evening, Europe.
	By the way, because people in the chat had said, you know, it looked like Lotus Eaters, Carl Benjamin, we should do another stream together.
	It looks like we will be doing another stream together.
	It's tentatively confirmed for next Thursday.
	I was just messaging Carl.
	Stay tuned.
	Next week it's going to happen.
	How's everybody doing?
	Who was I talking to?
	And I was saying, it's getting increasingly difficult to remain optimistic, and it's getting increasingly difficult to remain cheery-eyed and looking for the beauty in life.
	I've been chasing my white dragon, which is a big, fat caterpillar.
	I think it's the Luna Moth Caterpillar.
	I saw one years ago.
	I mean, it was so big.
	I have big, fat, pudgy fingers.
	It was bigger than my index finger.
	And whenever I go jogging, I'm like...
	Perpetually scanning for that big fat caterpillar because it's like the most random immense beauty that you can imagine.
	We're sitting in a world which is sometimes a world of shit and then along comes a big fat green caterpillar with these like bulbs on the little hairs on its back and it's like a creature of design that you could not have ever designed of your own creative thinking.
	So as I keep jogging, you know, doing my right wing, far right exercises of the afternoon, I'm still looking for that white dragon of mine, the green caterpillar.
	But it's getting increasingly difficult to remain optimistic and to remain...
	What's the word?
	What's another word for optimistic?
	Nonetheless, we have no choice.
	Like a heron has no choice but to stand there still until a frog comes by because that's how its existence is.
	You know, depends on its behavior.
	We have no choice but to remain optimistic and to continue to make changes in the way that we can.
	Positive.
	Positive changes.
	Now, what I was going to say.
	You will eat the caterpillars.
	All right.
	Before we get into the first article of the day, before we go over to rumble afterwards.
	Standard disclaimers.
	No medical advice.
	No election fortification advice.
	No legal advice.
	Ha ha ha.
	Those things, they're super chats.
	If you see them.
	And Rumble Rants, it's a wonderful way that I very much appreciate for everyone to support the channel.
	Bear in mind, YouTube keeps 30% of Super Chats.
	Rumble typically keeps 20% of their Rumble Rants.
	Except for the rest of this year, they keep 0%.
	They give 100% to the creators.
	So, all the better for the creator.
	But even when they go back to taking the 20%, it's better on Rumble to support the creators, to support the free speech platform.
	I start on YouTube and Rumble and Locals, vivabarneslaw.locals.com, the best place to support.
	Seven bucks a month, 70 bucks a year or more.
	Some people actually support with more than that.
	I end on YouTube, go exclusively to Rumble, then we end on Rumble and we have a little after party on Locals.
	That's the schedule of the day.
	We're going to do the Taylor Lorenz story, which sort of merges with the Elon Musk ad revenue splitting that dropped yesterday.
	Much to people's surprise, those who had no idea this was coming and it's sort of like found money and a wonderful treat, and somehow has managed to turn into controversy.
	We'll get there.
	After we're done with that, we're going to talk about...
	What are some of the other stories we have to talk about?
	There's a lot.
	Canadian stuff, but there was one big story for the States after...
	Oh, come on.
	After...
	Oh, the FBI.
	That's right.
	The FBI lies, Taylor Lorenz cries, and Canada slowly dies.
	That's what the title should have been!
	All right, let me just make sure everything is good here.
	We're good on YouTube.
	We're good on Rumble.
	Share the link around.
	We're good on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	All right.
	So this is the story of the day.
	And I was like, what are you talking about?
	I have no idea what this is.
	And then I went into my monetization on Twitter because I did monetize so that I could enable subscribers.
	I got one subscriber.
	I priced the subscribers on Twitter almost as a joke because I wanted to direct everyone to locals.
	And I got one subscriber and I DMed this subscriber just to make sure that they actually subscribed on purpose and not by accident.
	So I thought this, like, you know, the AdSense ad sharing had to do with your subscribers and I wasn't expecting, you know, anything.
	And then I did get an email afterwards saying, congratulations, you get a share of ads sharing on your videos on Twitter.
	I have no idea how this works.
	I have no idea how the amount was calculated.
	I actually had no idea that I was even eligible for this.
	I don't know how Twitter knew what my Stripe account was or had access to it.
	I don't remember having set that up when I monetized for subscribers.
	But it was an interesting surprise.
	And then I'm sitting there saying, huh, how long until somebody finds a way to call this far-right extremism?
	It's not often that I can predict the insanity, but the older I get, the easier it seems to get to predict the insanity.
	I tweeted it out.
	It was three hours before I saw Taylor Lorenz's article.
	It was three hours before Taylor Lorenz's article was published.
	Saw the news today like everybody else.
	We're going to get into how this actually works because thus far, people are confused as to how the ad revenue splitting on Twitter works.
	I have no idea.
	My thoughts were, part of me is concerned that it's going to incentivize the wrong type of behavior on Twitter.
	I'm not ragging on Krasenstein for having posted that he made $24,000.
	Good for him and good for his engagement.
	And I have neither jealousy nor animosity.
	Nor do I think Krassenstein, his tweets, in as much as they might have garnered that much revenue, I don't think those are the types of bad tweets that should be the concern.
	The concern should be viral videos that go viral that are inaccurate.
	You know, whether or not it's going to incentivize people to make misleading disinformation viral videos, that's the question.
	That's my concern.
	But I also just said, you know, just anticipate.
	Can't wait for mainstream media to somehow qualify profit sharing as far right.
	Some might even say it's the opposite of capitalism.
	It's Elon sharing ad revenue that he does not need to share that I think most people were not expecting him to share.
	Not the antithesis, but rather it would be contrary to what one would typically assume capitalism would generate by way of conduct from a corporation.
	I said that at 6.45 p.m.
	Not knowing that where there is a Babylon Bee headline, there surely shall be a Taylor Lorenz follow-up.
	Taylor Lorenz, writing for the Washington Compost, comes right out after it says, far-right Twitter influencers first on Elon Musk's monetization scheme.
	It's a scheme, and you should be scared of it.
	The platform is paying high-profile creators, including Andrew Tate, thousands of dollars for posting to the app.
	Taylor, I know that you're just a journalist, journalist for the Washington Compost.
	Let's make sure that we describe things properly.
	Andrew Tate is not being paid thousands of dollars to post to the app any more than people are getting paid thousands of dollars to post to YouTube.
	What they're getting is apparently the AdSense equivalent of ad revenue generated off of their posts.
	They're not getting paid to post.
	They're getting paid a portion of the ad revenue generated that is placed on or embedded in the content that they do post.
	It's a minor distinction, but it's a material distinction because one makes it sound like or suggests that Elon is saying, Hey, Tate, post some shit to Twitter.
	Whereas the other reality is, Tate posts to Twitter.
	Elon says, well, I'm going to run ads on your content.
	And here's your portion, however it's determined, of the ads.
	Far right, though.
	Far right influencers are the first to be getting paid by Elon.
	Now, hold on, because I'm not going to misrepresent Taylor Lorenz's quality journalism.
	Let's just actually go read the article.
	Real quick, like.
	Real quick, like, Washington Compost.
	Taylor Lorenz.
	By the way, she's blocked me.
	She didn't reach out to me.
	She didn't reach out to me to ask me.
	She only reached out to Shia Rachik, which we're going to get to in a second, libs of TikTok, who she seems to have an unhealthy obsession with.
	We'll get there in a second.
	This is the journalism.
	Oh, I'm wearing the shirt!
	Okay.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Here.
	The five W's.
	The five W's with an extra H. Who, what, when, why, where?
	You can get yours at vivafried.com.
	Those are the five W's of journalism, typically.
	Or as I like to say, the five WH's of journalism.
	We're going to go through this article and you're going to ask yourself which of these five questions have been answered or how many of the five questions have been answered.
	Who, what, when, why, where?
	Although, yeah, that's right.
	That's what we did here.
	Far right.
	Twitter influencers first on the scene.
	Yada, yada, yada.
	Okay.
	Los Angeles.
	On Thursday, Twitter announced that it would be sharing ad revenue with content creators on its platform for the first time.
	But the offer won't apply to all creators.
	Here, we've got the questions.
	Now we're going to find out if this journalizing actually provides any of the answers.
	Although it becomes increasingly difficult to get answers when people won't talk with you because you are an untrustworthy snake in the grass of a journalist.
	That is, or that might be, Taylor Lorenz.
	The first beneficiaries appear to be a string of high-profile, far-right influencers who tweeted before the announcement how much they've earned as part of the program.
	I did find it a little weird that everybody was...
	Jeremy from The Quartering said, in transparency, why is everyone posting how much they got?
	I found it a little weird as well.
	I mean, it's sort of like a humble flex.
	It's a fun thing.
	I don't judge anybody for doing it, but like...
	Why post what you get from Twitter AdSense revenue or Twitter ad revenue, but not also what you get from YouTube?
	I humorously think one is small enough but proportionally big enough to be something of a flex, and the other one might be so big that it might make people angry or jealous.
	So you want to share the smaller one but not the bigger one.
	I thought it was a little bit weird as well, but no judgment.
	I like the transparency in that it will allow people to determine how this ad revenue has been paid out based on impressions or whatever it is.
	I've never looked at impressions.
	I've never looked at views other than the one that you can see on a video.
	So maybe people are going to be able to piece together how this works, but it was a little weird that people are posting how much they got paid in the screen grabs.
	I mean, it's nice.
	It's nice.
	It's like a bonus Christmas present, and people are happy and can't win for that.
	Ian Myles Chong, Benny Johnson, and Ashley St. Clair all touted their earlings.
	Wow, Elon Musk was in.
	Content monetization is real, tweeted an anonymous.
	Why do I think that Taylor Lorenz is going to try to end the anonymity of End Wokeness's anonymity?
	Why do I remember a time when Libs of TikTok was once anonymous as well until Taylor Lorenz stepped in?
	It's a weird thing to say.
	Tweeted an anonymous account, End Wokeness.
	That's a weird word to have added, Taylor Lorenz.
	You suspect.
	With 1.4 million followers, accompanied by a screenshot, $10,400.
	Good for them.
	So far, influencers who have publicly revealed that they're part of the program are prominent figures on the right.
	Andrew Tate, for example, who was released from jail on rape and human trafficking charges.
	Looks like she's pulling a little Mehdi Hassan journalism here.
	The power lies in the accusation.
	Frame it that the man is a convicted raper and human trafficker.
	Just frame it because of the allegations.
	Has he been charged yet?
	I have to double-check if he's been charged.
	Just make sure that you frame it that way.
	It's not Andrew Tate.
	He's been facing...
	He's released from jail on rape and human trafficking charges.
	Actually, now I have to double-check that.
	Chat, has he been charged with that?
	Because I know that he was detained while they were investigating it, but I don't know if the follow-up came that he actually is facing charges.
	I think he did.
	Posted that he'd been paid over $20,000 by Twitter.
	This is a nice turnaround from being banned by Twitter 1.0 two years ago.
	Now...
	Being paid.
	Tweeted, far-right influencer Rogan O 'Handley.
	Never heard?
	Oh, DC Drano.
	I didn't know that was his real name.
	I follow DC Drano.
	But not all prominent right-wing Twitter contributors appear to be part of the program.
	Oh, gotta sow discord.
	By the way, thus far, Taylor Lorenz has not shed any light on how this program works, how the amounts were paid out or determined, and who else other than the select few of far-right contributors that she's picked also received this.
	When asked if she was part of the program, Shia Rechik, the creator of Libs of TikTok, offered a tongue-in-cheek response claiming that her relationship with Musk was thriving.
	You'll get the joke when we go over the tweets in a few seconds.
	She did not respond to a question about whether she was receiving payments under the program.
	Musk did not respond either.
	It's funny.
	Hey, Taylor, you burn all your bridges, it becomes tough to be a journalist.
	I remember...
	Hold on.
	Do I say the anecdote now?
	Let's go through the journalism.
	I think there are some conservative creators who are unhappy, said Chris Ruby, yadda yadda yadda.
	It doesn't even seem, it doesn't seem even across the board.
	I don't think the level, the playing field is level.
	Okay, good.
	Questions, questions, questions, no answers.
	Some said on the right, some, she said some on the right who weren't included in the program despite meeting all the criteria are venting in private.
	Oh, that's good.
	Anonymous, so discord.
	Anonymous complaints in private.
	Everyone's mad at Elon.
	Most conservatives don't want to go up against the wrath of Elon.
	And what happens when you criticize him?
	Bullshit, Taylor.
	A lot of us have openly criticized him.
	And when I hear that, it's like...
	When I heard that the payments went out to people who are in Elon's good graces, I was on that.
	I got the notification.
	Lucky me.
	I've been pretty critical of Elon Musk.
	I've been pretty critical of Elon Musk.
	Because I'll call...
	I'll call it like I see it.
	And I will...
	I will...
	I'll jab Elon when I think he deserves to be jabbed, and I'll pat him on the back when I think he deserves to be patted on the back.
	So this is bullcrap.
	This is anonymous gossip bullcrap, also known as Taylor Lorenz journalism.
	We see that he's not really applying the terms of service equally across the board.
	Twitter claimed in a blog post that creators share advertising revenues would be based on a calculation of replies to their posts and monthly impressions.
	The program is only available in countries where Stripe, a payment platform, supports payouts, and recipients must pay for Twitter Blue.
	I had no idea.
	I had no idea.
	I mean, I guess it's fortuitous that I paid for Twitter Blue.
	I did not pay for Twitter Blue to keep the blue checkmark.
	I actually will pay for it as long as it exists so I can edit posts and so that I can post long format videos.
	Priceless for those two features alone.
	Couldn't care less about the blue checkmark anymore because the blue checkmark now means nothing.
	That's the new reality.
	That's what we've all come to grips with.
	Not all creators who want to monetize will be able to.
	Creators who apply to the program have to pass human review.
	Some nonpolitical contributors expressed frustration with the lack of transparency from the company over the rollout.
	My tweets have garnered hundreds of millions of impressions for Twitter every year.
	Every year doesn't matter until the program started, but I don't know.
	Matt Navarro, social media strategist who runs tech-focused newsletter Geek Out posted on Thursday.
	And I've been on the platform for 15-plus years.
	It's pretty lame.
	There is no payout coming my way.
	Twitter has never generated any income directly for all the content I have put in.
	There might be an explanation to this, Navarro.
	The fact that you've been on for 15-plus years and might have garnered millions of impressions over whatever period of time might not be relevant if...
	The timeframe started measuring as of February, not knowing what impressions are or even what the formula is.
	This criticism, this concern, might have a very logical answer to it.
	This program might have started only measuring as of a date, and then in which case the question is impressions as of that date.
	Former Twitter staffers who worked on creator-focused products expressed skepticism over the rollout, with several calling it a PR stat.
	One former Twitter executive, do we have a name, who wished to remain unnamed to avoid retaliation.
	Any kind of content monetization we've done in the past was based on a revenue model.
	This just field pull out of thin air for a specific subset of creators that he wanted to placate.
	Oh, really?
	A, bullcrap, because I have been very critical of Elon when I think he deserves it.
	B, what place did this alleged employee operate?
	Function, did they serve or do they serve at Twitter?
	Do they have any knowledge of how it works?
	Are you asking, I don't know, I'm just trying to pick titles.
	Are you asking someone who works in the user experience, the UX department, how the monetization works if they don't work in the AdSense department?
	As they say, opinions are like buttholes.
	Everybody's got one.
	How much does this go on for?
	Jeez Louise, we're not going through the whole thing.
	Anyhow, bottom line, it doesn't answer any questions.
	Let's see what we got here.
	He's censoring speech that he doesn't like and amplifying speech that he does, and he's picking the people that he wants to have a voice on the platform and silencing others, said Rathbone DeBise, a musician and content creator in New Orleans who monetizes on TikTok.
	Oh, it seems like there's no rhyme or reason to it.
	He's decided arbitrarily that there are the people who are going to make money off the platform because they are his friends.
	Okay, I mean, everyone's entitled to their opinion.
	May I ask what that's based on?
	If I'm Taylor Lorenz and...
	Who's this person?
	Dubai said that.
	I was like, okay, what are you saying that Elon has no system and is willy-nilly picking who he supports?
	What's your opinion based on?
	I try to respect my values and my business.
	The timing of Musk's announcement comes on the heels of Twitter rival Instagram announcing that its Twitter-like app threads has surpassed 100 million signups in under a week, making it the fastest growing app of all time.
	That much is true.
	Taylor.
	Have you asked if the rumors were true or the reports were true that you cannot delete threads once you've installed threads without also deleting your Instagram account?
	Can you imagine that?
	Imagine it's just like an automatic prompt for everyone on Instagram and Facebook and people don't realize that once you install it, you will be a user for the rest of your life so long as you want to keep your Instagram account even if you don't want to use it.
	They got the accounts.
	You got 100 million signups.
	What's your user base like?
	Those are two different things, which I'm sure you've asked the question, Taylor.
	100 million signups, what is the active daily user base?
	Because my understanding, it's tanking.
	Jordan Linds, owner Yada Yada, said that he thinks Threads could take a cue from Twitter's new monetization offerings.
	Threads users' retention is going to slip eventually.
	I think whoever provides the best monetization will win the retention rate.
	All right.
	Jules Terpak, a content creator and digital culture expert, said that someone who tweets a lot, the prospect of earning money from posts is appealing, but she's watching to see how Elon Musk will handle thorny issues like content theft and bots.
	Those are legitimate concerns.
	She's also wondering if this new monetization You might have been wrong about that.
	By the way, the bots might be easy to determine or easy to deal with because it goes through human review, human approval.
	That might be one way of resolving that.
	As soon as I'm seeing these amounts, my first question is, how is it going to be sustained?
	She said, the track record so far with Elon's ownership is that a lot of things that sound very pretty, then you see them in action and there are these more negative nuances to it.
	Wonderful journalism.
	Answered no questions.
	Provided no relevant information.
	Anonymous.
	Twitter employees saying there's no rhyme or reason and we have no idea what their stature is within the company.
	People complaining about it who themselves have no idea how it operates.
	Infusing their own biases on it.
	And that's it.
	But that's not it.
	Because Taylor Lorenz...
	It's...
	I said...
	In my quote tweet of this, it's impossible that Taylor Lorenz has the audacity, the shamelessness, and the lack of introspection to not understand why it's so wildly inappropriate and laughably stupid after having attempted to destroy Shia to go ask her for comment.
	Now, I'm taking for granted that Shia is not posting fake screen grabs of DMs between her and Taylor Lorenz.
	She posted this yesterday.
	Taylor Lorenz...
	By the way, Taylor Lorenz has blocked me on Twitter, so I don't think she's slipping into my DMs anytime soon.
	But she hasn't blocked Taylor.
	Apparently, I guess she hasn't blocked Libs of TikTok.
	Hi, Shia.
	I'm doing a story on Twitter's monetization program for creators.
	Do you receive any...
	Can you imagine her having the balls to actually go to Libs of TikTok and ask her for help in an article?
	Ask her for comment in an article.
	I'm going to share my anecdote.
	And I'm going to come back to that.
	As a young lawyer, my mentor, who I don't want to get him in trouble, I think he might actually like my content, said to me, he didn't say Viva because I wasn't Viva at the time, he says, David, the practice of law can be very, very long and very, very painful and can be made longer and more painful by your colleagues.
	If you burn bridges, if you burn your colleagues, if you lie once, if you develop a reputation of an asshole, A liar, a backstabber, even with your adversaries, even in the heat of battle, they will make your practice long and miserable.
	That holds true of everything.
	If you are an asshole and you burn bridges in a very small community, your career will be painful and it will be long, even if it's short.
	Taylor Lorenz, not that I'm looking at you, but I'm thinking of you right now.
	She tried to, she did docs, libs of TikTok.
	She showed up at the front doorstep of her family.
	And now she's asking her for help with it.
	Hey, Shia, just got a few questions for you.
	Please include my full comment.
	And I thought it was going to be a middle finger emoji.
	It's none of your business.
	You've bragged, and this is Taylor Lorenz.
	You've bragged about monetization previously on other platforms.
	Bragged?
	That's judgmental.
	Maybe talked about?
	Were you not included in Musk's group?
	Has your relationship with Twitter soured?
	Can you imagine she's actually asking her these questions and expecting her to answer these questions to someone who has been a backstabbing liar snake in the grass of a journalist?
	My relationship with Twitter has not soured.
	In fact, it's thriving.
	Elon and I are actually dating.
	Please don't tell anyone because we're keeping it quiet.
	You have a name for being very trustworthy and honest, so I know I can trust you with this information.
	Give her credit.
	She's got a good sense of humor.
	We will note that in a tongue-in-cheek response, you claimed your...
	I mean, I'm reading Taylor Lorenz's response, and she sounds like one of those YouTube bots.
	Like, she sounds like a robot, you know, a chatbot.
	We will not...
	We?
	Are you more than one person now, Taylor?
	Do you identify as we?
	We will note that in a tongue-in-cheek response, you claimed that your relationship with Musk was thriving.
	Thank you.
	I am a robot.
	Overseas.
	But you did not respond to a question about whether you were receiving payments under the program.
	I'm writing a story on people who suffer from Elon derangement syndrome and refuse to pay for a blue check and or took a lot of their content off Twitter.
	I'm curious if they have any regrets now that they're seeing creators get massive cash payouts.
	Can you give a comment as I believe you fit this category?
	No.
	I will note that you decided not to comment.
	All right.
	I like Shia.
	I just spat on my computer.
	I like Shia.
	Obviously.
	That's one heck of a sense of humor.
	Oh!
	Oh my goodness.
	No shame.
	There can be no shame because there's no pride.
	And when you have no pride, you can feel no shame about being a shameless liar of a journalist hack.
	All right.
	I think that covers it for that.
	I don't know how the remuneration program works.
	It was certainly...
	A pleasant surprise.
	I didn't even know that...
	Please fix the focus.
	What?
	No, I think it's you.
	Fat slice.
	No, it might be me, but it also might be internet bandwidth.
	This shirt, I find that when I wear a shirt with words, it focuses on the words.
	That's why I like the shirts that have something...
	Distinct here so that the camera focuses on it.
	Look, I'm going to go ahead and blame you.
	No, I got to leave.
	We got to go over to Rumble.
	But my goodness, you're not going to want to miss it because FBI lies.
	It's almost more shocking than Taylor Lorenz cries.
	But can you imagine?
	They all fled.
	They fled in a hissy fit high school meltdown.
	I'm going to Mastodon.
	What the hell is going on with Mastodon?
	I'm going to threads.
	Elon Musk is evil.
	I'm going to Zuckerberg.
	Can you imagine someone who's so stupid that they say, Elon Musk is evil, I'm going over to Zuckerberg?
	You have to be stupid.
	There's no other way to it.
	You can't even be that willfully reckless.
	I think everybody knows how Facebook got started.
	I think everybody knows about Zuckerberg openly censoring.
	Zuckerberg selling user data.
	And now we know that Zuckerberg...
	Let me see if I got a reply to my tweet here, because I'm not a journalist, but I do engage in the act of journalizing.
	Someone just said that they deleted their threads.
	Oh, okay, fine.
	And someone says in response, well, the person hasn't responded.
	They said they deleted their threads account.
	And I said, did they make you delete your Instagram account as well?
	Because multiple outlets reported that.
	Someone replied.
	I don't know who the person is.
	I believe that was the case initially, but they fixed it after hearing so many complaints.
	Okay, so maybe it's no longer.
	Maybe it was true.
	Maybe he tried to sneak it in the back door there, Zuckerberg, ever so trusting.
	His handle on Twitter is Fink.
	Fink D. Do we all know what a Fink is?
	Like, he named himself Fink because he might be a Fink.
	So anyways, the idiots who think that you're better off with Zuckerberg than with Musk, you're idiots.
	But you do it.
	You leave.
	You get your undies in a tiff.
	I don't even know if that's the expression.
	You leave, and then you see people getting paid not insignificant sums of money for posting engaging content on Twitter.
	Congratulations, you played yourself.
	All right, let's do it.
	I'm going to give you the link to the Rumbles.
	God, I'm sweating like a pig in here.
	This is my mother-in-law's sunroom.
	It's very beautiful.
	Those binoculars, I use them to go birdwatching in the morning every now and again.
	All right, here we go.
	Here's a link to Rumble.
	Come on over to Rumble and enjoy.
	By the way, if anybody has any constructive criticism for the user experience on Rumble...
	Put comments in the comment section.
	You can come over to Locals.
	Let us know.
	In reply on my tweets on Twitter, which I often read the replies, put in any critique you have and I can bring it up to the folks at Rumble.
	Constructive criticism.
	They're going through growing pains and they're making wild, massive, amazing changes.
	But if you don't know Chris Pawlowski and you don't know the team at Rumble, they are open to constructive criticism.
	And in as much as they see it, they take it to heart.
	Let's do it.
	Let's go over to Rumble.
	I think we've covered the tailored rent.
	There's a link one more time.
	Ending on YouTube.
	Going over to Rumble.
	Then we're going to go over to Locals.
	VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com afterwards.
	See you all soon.
	Those of you at YouTube coming over to Rumble on the dark side now.
	All right.
	Let's do this.
	Let me make sure we're good here.
	We good here, peeps.
	Yes, we look like we're good here.
	We got MNL Hayes in the chat in Locals.
	Hold on, where did it just go?
	Okay, well, then we got Astral Doge Play says, yes, I think it's a bandwidth problem because I'm up in Canada where the internet controls you.
	Okay, now, on the subject of Canada, people, nice segue.
	Let's...
	Gerritsen will reply to one of my tweets one of these days.
	He hasn't blocked me like so many other Member of Parliament cowards in Canada.
	I've been needling Gerritsen, but it's not a needle.
	It's a legitimate question that I will ask over and over and over again.
	Maybe not.
	I don't want it to become like a robotic-like reply, but I'm going to ask it periodically until I get an answer.
	Mark Gerritsen, Liberal MP, that means Member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands.
	Beautiful area, by the way.
	Parliamentary Secretary to the Government, House Leader, Senate.
	Let's fight back alt-right populism together.
	You understand what he's saying here?
	Let's fight back against our citizens.
	Okay.
	That I disagree with.
	Okay.
	And let's fight back against...
	Let's set aside the alt-right.
	Let's fight back against populism.
	That's called elitism.
	I'm spitting everywhere.
	That's called elitism.
	You jackass.
	Let's fight back against populism.
	Together.
	That almost sounds like a populistic...
	It's so stupid, it's beyond words.
	But...
	He's got the Ukrainian flag in his bio.
	He's a member of parliament.
	Gerritsen, if I know anything about last name origins, is not a typically Ukrainian last name.
	I don't know that he has a Ukrainian lineage.
	Gerritsen is typically Irish, Scottish, English.
	He's a member of Canadian parliament, member of federal parliament.
	He was elected to represent Canadian citizens, even the ones he disagrees with, even the populists, and even the alt-right.
	He's got a Ukrainian flag in his bio of what seems to be his official Liberal MP description.
	I have continually asked him, who do you represent?
	The interests of which citizens do you represent Gerritsen?
	Canadians or Ukrainians or Canadians and or Ukrainians or Canadians and Ukrainians?
	And if the answer is going to be, well, it's a time of war, we've got to support the Ukrainians, I'll ask you this.
	Why not the Libyans?
	Why not the Sudanese?
	Why not...
	Why not other people who might not be Eastern European, Garrison?
	For those who throw around the racist label all the time, are some citizens worth defending more than others?
	Are some wars more our wars than others because those who are fighting them look more like you and me, Garrison?
	More importantly, you were elected MP in Canada.
	Which citizens do you represent?
	Setting all that aside, Garrison puts out I looked it up now.
	I know what it means.
	This means $244 for a family of four and $122 for an individual with 8 out of 10 households.
	With 8 out of 10 households get more money back than they pay in.
	What the?
	Is this English?
	With 8 out of 10 households get more money back than they pay in.
	Okay, that doesn't make sense.
	And I'm not picking on typos because I am the typo king.
	As we address climate change and make life more affordable.
	Here is pennies on the dollar to tax dollars that many of you have spent.
	Here is a fraction of what the increased cost of living is for you, apparently because of our climate policies, climate change, climate crisis policies.
	Today, a family of four in Kingston and the islands will receive $244 through the police price, pollution price rebate, fighting climate change and making life more for Oh, yeah!
	And he restricted replies because he's a gosh darn hypocrite coward liar.
	I'm sorry to call you names, Mark.
	You are.
	A foreign flag in your MP bio.
	You restrict replies from the very citizens you were elected to represent.
	You are a coward.
	You are a liar by the looks of it.
	And I want an answer to my question.
	But it doesn't matter.
	Restricted replies because nothing says democracy.
	Nothing fights back against alt-right populism like restricting replies.
	What he's saying?
	Listen to what I have to say, but I don't give a damn about listening to what you have to say if you want to criticize this.
	The summer pollution price rebate making your life more affordable while fighting climate change.
	Now, does anybody out there even know what the summer pollution price rebate is?
	I'd like to say only taking wrong guesses.
	Anybody know what it is?
	It's basically the government taking your money, pooling it together, pissing it away on their own salaries, pissing it away on their own administration, and then giving you a portion back to offset against the consequences of increased pricing, increased prices because of inflation, just from printing money, and also because of their climate policy causing increasing in pricing.
	That's what it seems to be.
	Because I had to go to the Government of Canada website.
	Climate Action Incentive Payment.
	Climate Action Incentive July Payment Dates.
	They have a different term here.
	Climate Action Incentive Payments will be issued between July 14 and July 21. Since it can take up to 10 business days for payment to write by mail, please allow by the end of July.
	To receive your payment on April...
	To receive your payment on April 14, 2023, you and your spouse or common-law partner must have had your income tax benefits return filed by March 10th.
	If your tax is it, yada yada.
	CRA has resumed.
	Okay, whatever.
	It doesn't matter.
	What is the CAIP?
	CAIP is the Climate Action Incentive Payment.
	I think this is the same thing.
	This is, I think, the summer price pollution.
	What the hell that is?
	The CAIP is a...
	Tax-free amount paid to help individuals and families offset the costs of federal pollution pricing.
	It is available to residents of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario.
	It consists of a basic amount and a supplement for residents and small and rural communities.
	The government of Canada has changed the payment method for CAIP.
	Who is eligible for the CAIP?
	It doesn't matter.
	People.
	Do you need to apply?
	It's an amount to offset for the increase in prices as a result of government policy.
	You imagine when you go to a casino and if the rake, like when you play poker and the house takes 2% of every pot to pay for their bills, if the rake is too high, what ends up happening is the house basically siphons off all of the money of the players and then the players, even though they've just played equally among each other, Have no money left.
	And like, what the hell?
	None of us are winning here because the house has taken away all of our money, all of our profits by way of rake.
	If the rake is too high, you leave the casino and you go to another casino that has a reasonable rake that actually allows the players to benefit from their own playing.
	The government has an exceedingly high rake known as income tax, provincial sales tax, Mutation tax.
	Property tax.
	The government has taxes everywhere, and you don't get to find another house to play in.
	They take it.
	They take your money.
	They piss it around their own administration, their own costs, and then they give you some of the money they took back from you after they've taken their cut.
	You are playing a losing round of poker in a casino with a limitless rake that has no...
	No limits as to what they're going to take, continue to take, and pay themselves before they give you back some of your money that they took, that they're giving back to you to offset the fact that life has become unaffordable as a result of their policy.
	It's a winning system.
	What can possibly go wrong?
	All right, I just had to talk about that for a bit.
	Hold on, let's just see.
	Let's see what's going on in the chat.
	I haven't seen what's going on in the chat.
	Isk We Walk says, I escaped Canada, never returning.
	Old Hollywood Briar says, people have to look deeper to find out why the government does things like this.
	The Subversion says, I played poker instead of a job for a few years.
	Flowers in her hair says ridiculous.
	And Lone wore LoneWarrior9 says you're out of focus.
	I don't think I'm out of focus.
	I think it's bad.
	I think it's bad internet connection.
	Okay.
	And now that's what's going on in Canada.
	Mark Gerritsen, I have my questions.
	You don't have to follow me.
	In fact, I'll even say that you don't even have to think that by dignifying my questions with a response, it legitimizes me.
	Operate on the basis that if you answer those questions, it is to humiliate me.
	I've got questions.
	All right.
	Now, coming out of Canada, but international, and I'm going to make a standalone vlog for the main channel about this afterwards.
	Look at this.
	Look at this.
	There may finally be a common sense writing of the ship.
	CTV News puts out an article.
	This is the headline.
	Now, I want to dump on CTV News, but it looks like it's an Associated Press syndicated article, so it's not them, but listen to the header.
	World Cycling's governing body bans female transgender athletes from women's events.
	For someone who doesn't know the jargon of the day that female transgender, I put it in quotes, quote, female transgender means a biological male.
	It means a male who has taken drugs, had surgery to make their male bodies look feminine.
	Someone who doesn't know that is going to read this and say, oh my goodness.
	The World Cycling's body bans female athletes from women's events?
	That's terrible.
	And then you go to the article.
	Let me just see if my reply is up here.
	This is the quality of Canadian journalism.
	A title that reads like that.
	But let's go to the article because it's an Associated Press.
	I don't think CTV can be blamed for it.
	They can't be blamed for the drafting, but they can certainly be blamed for...
	Publishing what seems to be a syndicated article.
	It's from the Associated Press.
	Yada, yada.
	Okay.
	World cycling governing body bans female transgender athletes from women's events.
	Sounds like an injustice until you realize that female transgenders are males who have done what they have wanted to do with their bodies to make them look more feminine.
	Aigle.
	Aigle.
	It means eagle in French.
	Is that how you spell eagle in French?
	Yeah, that's how you spell eagle in French.
	Egla, Switzerland.
	Transgender women who transitioned after male puberty.
	Can you believe that journalists are actually using this terminology?
	Transgender women who transitioned after male puberty.
	That's like Ms. Netherlands.
	When I was a young boy, I dreamed of winning Ms. Netherlands and nothing is impossible because that young boy grew up to win Ms. Netherlands.
	Women who went through male puberty, a.k.a.
	men, who have gone through male puberty but have chemically, physically modified their bodies to look feminine, will no longer be able to compete in women's races, world cycling governing body, UCI said.
	The UCI, I think it's the Union Cycliste Internationale, and I think in English it's like the International Cyclist Union.
	Which is ICU, so I can understand why they use the French acronym UCI instead of ICU, but whatever.
	The decision came after writer Austin Phillips became the first openly transgender woman.
	They keep having to throw the word woman in there just to rub it in your face that, hey, it's Orwellian newspeak.
	We're calling men women, and there's nothing you can do about it.
	This is news.
	After Austin Phillips became the first openly transgender woman, a.k.a.
	a man, to win an official cycling event earlier this year.
	From now on, female transgender athletes who have transitioned after male puberty will be prohibited from participating in women's events on the UCI international calendar in all categories in the various disciplines, the International Federation said in a statement.
	UCI said the ban starting Monday was necessary to ensure equal opportunities.
	No shit Sherlock, if we can say it en français.
	No shit Sherlock.
	And again, by the way, for anybody out there who would say Vive is a bigot because he doesn't think that males who have done whatever they want, that they're empowered and allowed under the law to do their body, live your life.
	People born male who will always be male chromosome and have always benefited from that which male physiology...
	For whatever the reason, bequeaths to males, they should not be allowed to compete in women's sports.
	It's not controversial.
	It's not bigoted.
	It's not even intolerant.
	It's actually tolerant because it protects women and it's just bloody logical and it's just sane.
	Yes, it's necessary to ensure equal opportunities because what happens?
	Your first openly transgender rider, Austin Phillips, comes in there and lo and behold, crushes records.
	It's amazing how that happens.
	Killips rode to victory in the fifth stage of the Tour de Gila, one of the marquee U.S. stage races.
	Her victory.
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	You can do it to be polite.
	You can do it if you want to.
	You are journalists.
	You are referring to an XY chromosome being that is a male as a her.
	You are engaged in intellectual...
	Her victory provoked a negative reaction by some cycling fans and former racers.
	No shit Sherlock.
	Despite the ban, UCI president has to reassure everyone.
	He's inclusive.
	Despite the ban, David L 'Appartient.
	Well, that's funny.
	That name in French, if you put an apostrophe, is appartient means belongs to.
	That's really funny, actually.
	Well, it doesn't really have a T at the end, appartient, but that's quite funny.
	Lapartien means he who belongs.
	Or he who belongs with.
	That's funny.
	Okay, the UCI would like to reaffirm that cycling is a competitive leisure activity or means of transport is open to everyone.
	Thanks, Dave!
	I didn't need you to tell me that biking is open for trans people.
	Thank you for stating the obvious.
	Oh, I thought when you banned males from female sports, men from women's competition, you were also telling me that transgender people can't ride bikes anymore.
	Thank you for reaffirming your inclusivity when it comes to who gets to ride a bicycle.
	It's open to everyone, including transgender people whom we encourage, like everyone else, to take part in our sport.
	Thanks.
	I needed that virtue signaling from David Lappartien to say trans people.
	You can still ride bikes.
	Don't worry.
	Governing bodies in track and field and swimming have barred athletes who underwent male puberty from competing in international women's events.
	About frickin' time, the only major concern from this, and it's a real one, especially in states, provinces, countries that do not outlaw trans therapy, what they call gender-affirming care for kids, for minors, the main concern and the real concern is that this is going to push parents Who suffer, as far as I'm concerned, from Munchausen by proxy.
	It's going to push activists, crazy, bad parents to pushing, promoting, tolerating, or encouraging their children to take gender-affirming care at an increasingly young age for the fear that if they go through puberty, they will not be allowed to compete.
	And this is going to be one more argument for the panic, for the crisis of kids saying, if my body does what...
	If you believe in God, what God intended it to do, and if you don't believe in God, what nature intended it to do, if my body goes through what nature intended it to do, I won't be able to compete in competitive sports, so put me on puberty blockers now so I don't go through puberty, even though all of these doctors say it's just putting a pause on puberty doesn't stop it.
	It's amazing how all of these things don't make any bloody sense together.
	That's the concern, that's the reality, and we will head there.
	We will head there in states, provinces, and countries that do not ban the practice of Gender-affirming care, puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, and genital mutilation on kids who are confused and want this done before they go through puberty so that they don't have to run this risk later on in life.
	Okay, that's the news.
	A little bit of common sense prevailing.
	Okay, I don't need this window open.
	Close that.
	All right.
	I think that's it for that story.
	Let me see if there's any questions in here.
	Any people in the chat?
	The guy who wants to...
	Okay, so this is Iskawak says, the guy who wants to harvest from women to get pregnant just so he can be the first trans to have an abortion.
	I saw that video.
	I don't like sharing those videos.
	I think you end up making rules of wild exceptions and...
	The funny thing is I think those types of extreme videos of extreme madness actually do more to move the Overton window because people could say, well, look, I'm not that extreme and therefore my level of extremism, which should otherwise be morally, logically, physiologically offensive, is less offensive because there's somebody who's even worse than me.
	But actually, no, we're not done on this topic yet because this was the other thing I was thinking of starting the show with.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	Where is it?
	Where?
	Where is it?
	CNN!
	Oh, here it is.
	Dave Rubin had to post this.
	Speaking of journalists getting in trouble for misgendering or referring to a male as she, her...
	...by him after all this.
	Listen to this.
	This is from Rubin's Twitter feed, so you gotta go check it out.
	I don't like the way Delvin Mulvaney was treated after...
	They don't like the way Dilvin Mulvaney was treated after this whole controversy started.
	He coerces the transgender person they were going to sponsor and go along with Bud Light.
	They didn't like how Bud Light didn't stand by him.
	Him.
	He, him.
	I'm wondering if he was just hesitating because someone is in his earbud saying, Dude, you just screwed up!
	You're gonna get cancelled.
	Yes, the next day, CNN had to issue an apology.
	We do want to make an important note.
	I love Big Brother.
	Say it.
	Say two plus two is five.
	Say I love Big Brother.
	Say there are four lights.
	Say it.
	What's her name again?
	I know this person.
	Yesterday in a segment about transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
	Look how serious her face is.
	You'd think they just ran over a puppy in the parking lot.
	You'd think that she was talking about someone who...
	You know, just made a...
	I don't want to be offensive or glib in the comparisons.
	You'd think that she was talking about the world's greatest tragedy right now.
	Look at her face.
	Who was featured in Bud Light's recent campaign.
	Don't curl your lips up like you're smiling.
	Don't move your eyes up like you're smiling.
	This is serious.
	We've committed the most offensive injustice imaginable.
	That dude from CNN referred to Dylan Mulvaney.
	A man who still has his penis as a him.
	And that's atrocious.
	He should be canceled.
	CNN should be put off the air.
	We have to apologize.
	She was mistakenly referred to by the wrong pronoun.
	And CNN aims to honor a campaign.
	She was mistakenly referred to by the wrong pronoun.
	And CNN aims to honor individuals' ways of identifying themselves.
	And we apologize for that.
	Well, she's a guy, so.
	Payne, she was mistakenly referred to by the wrong pronoun.
	Mistakenly referred to by the wrong pronoun.
	I'm not saying this to be crass.
	I'm saying this to illustrate the absurdity.
	She has a penis.
	CNN, are you going to refer to Dylan Mulvaney's penis, his bulge, as...
	Her penis?
	Are you actually going to get involved in promoting a world in which we actually refer to her penis?
	I know some people have done it.
	And I also know that there could be an argument for the rarest of medical anomalies of intersex, people who have actually XX chromosomes but have what appears to be a male phallus or even a penis.
	That might be the one and only time in science and nature where you can refer to Something as her penis.
	Are we really gonna say that this is the reality?
	This is the height of human intelligence.
	We've allegedly landed on the moon.
	We've discovered the theory of relativity.
	We've figured out how to merge and crack atoms.
	And the height of our intellectual exploration is...
	Referring to a man with a penis as a she and her penis.
	Congratulations, CNN.
	You will go down in the annals of history.
	There's a pun in there somewhere, but you're going to go down in the annals of history as the biggest idiots on the face of the planet.
	Well done.
	You deserve to be bankrupted into irrelevance and mocked relentlessly, relentlessly for the rest of your respective lives.
	May it be a long one.
	To quote 300, may you live forever and may you hear for the rest of your remaining days, you are absolute idiots who partook in the most absolute, unscientific insanity because you thought it was virtuous to do so.
	Oh, okay, well, that's it.
	Now, people, how do we start this story?
	Do I start with the FBI's statement?
	With the FBI statement.
	Because it's glorious.
	Well, where is it?
	FBI tweeted out.
	I mean, it's so absurdly hilarious.
	FBI tweeted out.
	This tweet.
	Yesterday.
	What time was it at?
	Oh, see, I showed you the spoiler alert.
	July 12th.
	The FBI writes, and I quote.
	In reference to the false assertions about investigating parents at school board meetings, hashtag FBI Director Wray told the House Judiciary Committee that the Bureau is not in the business of policing speech.
	Read more here.
	All right, I'm not parsing hairs.
	I'm not splitting hairs for the sake of it.
	I'm not wordsmithing to try to show how smart I am.
	I'm going to show you how to read bullshit and how to identify bullshit when you read it.
	First of all, in reference to the false assertions.
	False here is a case of me thinks the FBI doth protest too much.
	Assertions, by their definition, are uncertain.
	They're not statements of fact.
	Maybe they could be, arguably.
	You're making an assertion.
	You're asserting something.
	They have to make sure you know it's a false assertion.
	What are they saying is the false assertion, however?
	Let's see.
	The false assertions about investigating parents at school board meetings.
	Well, what if that isn't the assertion that anybody said the FBI was doing, but rather they were just keeping track of, potentially tracking parents at school board meetings as if they were domestic terrorists?
	As per a letter that was sent to the FBI and a response from Garland.
	The false assertion about investigating parents at school board meetings.
	Listen to this.
	The FBI doesn't make a statement.
	They just refer to what a liar, a known confirmed liar, has to say.
	The FBI says, in respect of that false assertion that we investigate people at board meetings, well, Director Wray had something to say.
	And what did he say?
	He didn't even flat out deny it.
	He just said, we're not in the business of policing speech.
	No one accused you of policing speech.
	That's what you had Twitter do.
	That's what you had Facebook do.
	What you were in the business of, FBI, and we know it, was determining what speech needed to be policed by social media platforms.
	Giving the heads up to the Zuckerbergs, who seems to be like, you know, now the best friend again of the left.
	Hey, Zuckerberg.
	There's some speech coming that you might want to police.
	We're not in the business of doing it.
	We're just telling somebody else what they have to do.
	And by the way, the FBI, they're not saying we don't do it flat out categorically.
	We don't do it.
	They're saying it's a false assertion because Director Wray said they're not in the business of policing speech.
	It's bullshit.
	Through and through.
	The FBI is not and has never been in the business of policing or investigating speech by parents at school board meetings.
	No one ever accused you of that.
	That wasn't the criticism.
	When there's violence or threats of violence, we're going to work with our state and local partners as we always have.
	Good.
	We're not in the business of policing or investigating.
	Listen to this.
	It's amazing.
	Community notes sometimes works and even when it might be a little political, a little argumentative in its presentation, stick it to the man.
	Readers added context.
	They thought people might want to know.
	The FBI statement is misleading.
	On May 18, 2023, former FBI agent Steve Friend, what a name to have, testified before the House Judiciary Committee that he and others were directed to surveil and document parents attending school board meetings.
	Ah, but it's not a lie, because the FBI didn't say they didn't do that.
	They just said they're not in the business of policing speech.
	They're not in the business of policing speech.
	You know what else they're not in the business of?
	They're not in the business of falsifying documents and submitting them to secret FISA courts to obtain unlawful spy warrants against their political rivals.
	They're not in the business of doing that, but they did that also.
	They're not in the business of selling drugs, but they might have also done that once upon a time.
	That might have been the CIA, so maybe.
	You know what my point is.
	They're not in the business of committing crimes.
	But they might have entrapped a number of people along the way.
	They're not in the business of kidnapping Gretchen Whitmer, you know, governors.
	But they might have entrapped a few people and thus partaken in a plot.
	They're not in the business of doing a lot of things that they nonetheless do.
	And Stephen Ray says, we're not in the business then.
	Well, hold on one second, Mr. Ray.
	Hold on.
	I have it.
	I brought it.
	No, that's not it.
	Here we go.
	No, that's not it.
	I think this is it.
	Oh, no, no.
	Not this one.
	Hold on one second.
	That's not what I want to bring up.
	They're not in the business of it, but I got to tell you, that community notes certainly makes a legitimate point that we're going to look at right now.
	By the way, Christopher, whatever his first name is, Ray is a liar.
	Once a liar can never be trusted again.
	The liar's curse is not that they can't trust others.
	The liar's curse is that they can never again be trusted by anybody.
	And rightly so.
	I will say to you the same thing that I said to all 56 of our field offices as soon as I read the memo, which is that the FBI is not in the business of investigating or policing speech at school board meetings or anywhere else for that matter, and we're not going to start now.
	Not in the business of...
	What did he say?
	I don't want to...
	Read the memo.
	Which is that the FBI is not in the business of investigating or policing speech at school board meetings or anywhere else for that matter, and we're not going to start now.
	Investigating or policing speech.
	Not people.
	Not investigating people.
	Bullcrap.
	It's not a lie.
	They're not investigating or policing speech.
	They're just investigating people.
	They're not policing speech.
	They're just telling the Zuckerbergs, hey guys...
	This laptop might be coming out.
	There might be some Hunter Biden disinformation.
	You might want to police the speech.
	We're going to go investigate the people.
	Ashley Biden's diary with James O 'Keefe.
	Who's the other guy there?
	The laptop guy.
	But they're not policing the speech.
	They police and investigate the people.
	They just get social media companies to police the speech.
	But listen to this.
	Mr. Friend, you ever been to a school board meeting?
	Yes, I have.
	FBI ever sent you to the parking lot of a school board meeting?
	Yes, they have.
	And in the parking lot of a school board meeting where the FBI sent you, you were taking down information regarding people's license plates.
	Yes, I was.
	Now, it wasn't the first time you'd been to a school board meeting, was it?
	No, I went on my own as a private citizen.
	As a parent?
	Yes.
	And so there you were.
	It must have been quite an interesting perspective.
	There you were taking down the information of people, parents, attending school board meetings on behest of the FBI.
	And you had been one of those parents at a school board meeting.
	How did that feel?
	Well, after I attended privately, my colleagues teased me that they were probably going to start investigating me.
	Ah, I see.
	Not your speech.
	They're not going to police your speech.
	They're just going to investigate and police you.
	He said my tongue-in-cheek, we know.
	You get my point.
	You went after the worst of the worst, didn't you?
	Yes, I believe so.
	You went after people who looked at child porn?
	Yes.
	People who were sexually exploiting children?
	Yes.
	And then you were in the parking lot of a school board meeting, taking down the information of parents.
	What happened to the cases that you were working to protect our communities from the worst predators that exist?
	Can't find the coke.
	We can't find the coke.
	Who brought the coke in the White House?
	Can't find scaffolding guy.
	Can't find who blew up the North Street pipeline.
	Can't find Epstein's surveillance video.
	Can't find any of Epstein's clients.
	Can't find a crime to try Ray Epps for.
	Oh, but hold on one second.
	We can damn well find every single one of anybody who had a foot on or not even on Capitol Hill on January 6th.
	What happened to all the other people?
	My goodness, it makes me think, like, maybe if they were actually doing their job, they might be able to find out who was on Epstein's client list.
	The only human child traffickers, sex traffickers, that didn't have any clients.
	I was told they were not to be resourced, and then after I was suspended, they were handed off to local law enforcement.
	Wow.
	You can choose to believe this guy's a liar.
	You can just say he's making it up out of whole cloth.
	Or you can use half of your brain and understand that what he's saying is true.
	So the FBI just decided it was more important to have you in that parking lot of that school board meeting than getting the worst of the worst away from people that they could harm.
	That's correct.
	My goodness.
	What was the other memo that they put out?
	So, hold on.
	House Judiciary Committee.
	This was it.
	The House Judiciary Committee.
	Republicans.
	Department of Justice labeled dozens of parents as terrorists.
	May 20, 2022.
	My goodness, guys.
	You've got to fix your font here.
	This is terrible.
	Let's just get the domestic because that's where we want to go to.
	Okay, so right here.
	Get out of here.
	Get that out of here now.
	Here we go.
	Look at this.
	Garland's memorandum was prompted by a letter to President...
	Oh, you know, let's read from the beginning.
	U.S. House Judiciary Republicans led by Rep.
	Jim Jordan released a statement on May 11 indicating that they had sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, could have been on the Supreme Court of the United States of America, regarding his October 2021 memorandum directing the targeting of parents by the FBI.
	They don't do it, though.
	But they just told you they don't do it.
	This is about intimidation.
	This is about chilling free speech, Jordan said at a hearing held the day the letter was released.
	Garland's memorandum was prompted by a letter to President Joe Biden by the National School Boards Association.
	The letter drew comparison between parents protesting actions by their local school boards to, quote, domestic terrorism, end quote.
	Within weeks of Garland issuing his memorandum, the NSBA apologized only after it was discovered.
	For their letter.
	In February 2022, an email was uncovered showing that the NSBA, the school board, had advanced knowledge of the release of Garland's memorandum.
	As of April 2, 30 states have distanced themselves from the NSBA with 22 of those states, including North Carolina, dropping their membership entirely.
	You can go on and read that here.
	I'll give this to you.
	It all makes sense.
	It all makes sense backwards.
	Life can only be understood...
	Backwards, yet must be lived forwards.
	But don't worry.
	Christopher Wray, the liar.
	You know what?
	I actually wanted to pull up concrete evidence as to why Christopher Wray was a liar.
	Hold on.
	Christopher Ray lies Christopher Ray lies.
	Christopher Ray lies.
	Thank you.
	I'll find that afterwards.
	Oh, but trust them, they're not in the business of doing it does not mean that they ain't doing it.
	And by the way, yeah, they're sending their FBI agents to go look at those domestic terrorists, although it wasn't their word.
	It was the school board association that used it.
	The NSBA used it.
	They just moved on it.
	They're sending their FBI agents to check out school boards while they cannot find who brought cocaine into the White House, a white powder which could have just as easily been anthrax.
	Secret Service ends White House cocaine investigation with no leads.
	Bullshit!
	You have to think we're the dumbest people on Earth.
	Or the reality is, you know we're not the dumbest people on Earth.
	You just know that you get to do it.
	You get to lie through your teeth with impunity and Just spout absurdities because that's the flaunting of your power.
	Testing did not reveal sufficient DNA fingerprint or video evidence to determine who brought the drug into the White House, the Secret Service said.
	First of all, why would testing be needed for video evidence?
	Bullcrap you don't have video evidence.
	Bullcrap.
	Washington, the mystery of who brought the...
	It's Nancy Drew.
	It's the next Nancy Drew.
	Whose cocaine in the White House was it?
	The mystery of who brought cocaine into the White House remains unsolved.
	We're never going to know.
	We're never going to know.
	The Secret Service investigation has concluded with no usable forensic or no usable video evidence.
	Hold on.
	I mean, words mean something.
	Concluded with no usable...
	So they have no usable video evidence.
	Or do they just have no video evidence?
	Bullshit.
	The camera was out.
	The security guards were asleep.
	That's literally what they said when Jeffrey Epstein didn't commit suicide in jail.
	The small plastic baggie with a powdered substance, which was found in a storage cubby at the White House on Sunday evening this month, was subjected to advanced testing.
	To Federal Labs.
	No usable fingerprints.
	The Secret Service received the results Wednesday.
	Okay, no fingerprints without that kind of physical evidence.
	Oh, and they said there was no surveillance footage that produced investigative leads.
	Release the footage to the public.
	I guarantee you the folks at 4chan will be able to find out whose it was.
	I guarantee you!
	Let's have a test.
	Release the footage to 4chan and they'll find out whose cocaine it was.
	Better yet, maybe just do a urine test of the prime suspect.
	The investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered.
	A source familiar with the investigation said the leading theory is that the substance belonged to one of hundreds of visitors who traveled through the...
	That's not my theory.
	I mean, it's so...
	Oh my god, how long is it?
	I'm not going on to read this crap.
	The point was that they're liars.
	They're lying.
	We know they're lying.
	They know that we know that they're lying.
	We know that they know that we know that they're lying.
	And they continue to lie.
	And we continue to play along.
	God, I'm sweating so much.
	It's gross.
	Just see the laughter in the chat at Rumble.
	So that's it.
	I mean, that's the FBI.
	They're not in the business of doing what they nonetheless consistently do.
	Now, speaking of which, we're going to start with the separate story, then we're going to go.
	If you haven't heard, Oprah Winfrey's spiritual mentor has been found guilty and sentenced to 99 years.
	Oprah Winfrey, pedophile, 99 years, spiritual.
	Let me get this article here.
	Oprah Winfrey, spiritual leader convicted.
	That's it.
	The Daily Beast.
	Well, this is old.
	This is an old article.
	This was a new article.
	Maybe it wasn't new.
	Oprah Winfrey, spiritual leader, 99 years.
	Here we go.
	Is this not a new story?
	Story?
	I saw the article yesterday.
	I don't know if this is not a news story.
	Let's go to news.
	Okay, well, I'm just going to have to pull it from here.
	Maybe the conviction is not new, but it certainly makes you look at things in a new light.
	John of God, how the celebrity faith healer once promoted by Oprah ended up with a 370-year prison sentence after 600 accusations of sexual exploitation.
	That wasn't the good article here, actually.
	Let's just go all.
	It was this one.
	Where mainstream fears to end Oprah's spiritual healer sentence to 99 years for raping girls accused of baby trafficking.
	Oprah's personal spirit.
	But why?
	He's been sentenced to an additional 99 years in prison after being found guilty of raping hundreds of women and young girls.
	We don't need to read the story more than that, other than to say, Oprah Winfrey endorsed Joie de Deus on her talk show in 2012 after traveling all the way to Brazil to interview him, calling him inspiring and encouraging women to seek his help.
	his empire came crashing down in 2018 when a scandal of gigantic proportions broke revealing that the medium he had raped or abused hundreds of women and girls who sought his spiritual health All right.
	And there's Oprah Winfrey with him.
	Robert Barnes, who I follow on Twitter and do evening streams with on Sunday and Wednesdays with the sidebar, he posted a Twitter of that story and a picture of Oprah and Harvey Weinstein.
	Fact check!
	Oh, well, now I know it's fake.
	Fact check.
	No evidence Oprah Winfrey helped Harvey Weinstein abuse women.
	Well, let's just see the picture.
	Where was the picture of her kissing Harvey Weinstein?
	Of course, you know, you don't know what your friends are up to.
	Of course not.
	There you go.
	Look at that.
	Look at that.
	Oh, God.
	Look at that.
	Anyhow.
	That's it.
	It's just a coincidence.
	Sure, it's just a coincidence.
	And it also is just a coincidence that earlier in her career, Oprah Winfrey said this.
	Let's play this thing from the beginning.
	Here.
	So this is what so many people don't understand.
	A big part of the confusion and shame for child victims is that the attention and the seduction from the predator, who is probably going to be somebody you know.
	Right.
	In order for it to work, it has to be somebody you know, somebody you admire, somebody you respect, or maybe even love.
	And it feels good.
	I mean, if you're seven years old and somebody, which I was trying to say this to my friends who had children, you're seven years old and someone is stroking your penis, it feels good.
	Even though you don't have a name for what that is, it feels good.
	And that was such a particularly Challenging part for me in beginning therapy.
	That was one of the biggest things I kept bringing to therapy was, what does it mean that it felt good?
	What does that mean about me?
	It's so confusing for children.
	And when I first said this years ago, people were like, you're crazy because everybody wants to believe it's like sexual assault and you're being thrown up against the wall and you're being raped.
	And I have said for years, if the abuser is any good.
	You won't even know it's happened.
	You will be in it and you won't even know it's happened.
	And if the abuser is any good, he or she is going to make you feel like you're a part of it.
	I mean, and nothing is more being a part of it than what we discussed earlier.
	Really makes you live life backwards a little differently.
	Like I tweeted, I said, I understand the argument for what she's saying there.
	The confusion for a lot of survivors is that once you've gotten over the this is uncomfortable stage and that's called, you know, once you get past the grooming stage and there might be some physical element in there, a physical superficial element of pleasure, that becomes confusing for the survivors later on.
	There is a psychological phenomenon there that I'm familiar with that I have no direct experience with.
	That being said, You know, a seven-year-old and an adult or someone touching their genitals, whether or not, you know, there's any superficial, I mean, even to think of it that way is bizarre.
	A child knows when something is inappropriate.
	A child knows when they feel dirty.
	A child knows when something that should not have happened, happened.
	Even if there's a biological superficial element of a sensation of pleasure to it, they know that something bad, dirty has happened.
	And that is exactly what the grooming process in the context of this is about.
	It's about getting the kid past, it's about getting the victim past the stage where they say, this is wrong, this feels dirty, and seeing if the kid will get to that point.
	And now knowing that Oprah Winfrey is sitting there smoochy-smoochy with Harvey Weinstein, she's down there, her faith healer, apparently convicted of the most egregious crimes of human...
	Looking back at her saying, if the abuser is any good, if he's any good, they won't even know that.
	That's a very bizarre way of thinking of sexual abuse.
	I don't even know why that came up yesterday, and I'm actually kind of just kind of grossed out.
	It's depravity.
	This might be not the red pill.
	This might be a bit of the black pill.
	Hollywood is depravity.
	Beyond words, beyond comprehension.
	Moral, spiritual depravity.
	It has ruined my ability to even like the classic films that I used to love.
	I can't watch Taxi Driver anymore.
	Knowing that Jodie Foster was actually a 12-year-old girl.
	They didn't take an 18-year-old.
	They took a 12-year-old.
	Knowing Roman Polanski.
	Knowing Harvey Weinstein.
	Now that I was trying to watch Django Unchained.
	Was it Django Unchained?
	Well, it was Miramax.
	Harvey Weinstein.
	Can't do it.
	I mean, I cannot do it anymore.
	And now looking at Oprah Winfrey, if you're any good, it feels good for the children.
	And I understand the argument for how she was saying it, but my goodness, am I suspicious given what her personal and professional life has shown.
	Somebody's watching me says Taxi Driver was an amazing flick.
	They're all amazing, you know?
	The Pianist might have been a great movie, but there is the point at which I cannot separate the artist from the art.
	That being said...
	Hold on a second.
	Till you realize there's more wrong with it than Jodie Foster.
	De Niro is a scumbag.
	Anyways, that's it.
	So it's a lot of stuff that I once upon a time ignorantly and naively loved.
	I no longer love.
	Okay.
	We'll end on a bit of laughter before we go over to Rumble.
	We can't end on such a dark, dirty note.
	I know that I gesticulate with my hands when I talk.
	I know it.
	There's nothing more awkward than having your hands stuck to your hips or in your pockets.
	I move my hands.
	I like to think that I move my hands in a manner that...
	Is reflective of the speech, of the tone of what's being discussed.
	There are two people, and the more you watch them, the more you're going to see it, and you're never going to be able to unsee it.
	Two people who move their hands while they're talking in the most ridiculous ways, conceivable ways that it's not only that it has nothing to do with the substance or the tone of what they're saying, it's actually almost the exact opposite.
	One of which is...
	Cripe, I forgot his name now.
	This guy right here.
	Yeah, Jim Jeffries.
	Not Jim Jeffries, Hakeem Jeffries.
	And the other one is Gavin Newsom.
	Look, just watch it.
	Somebody has to start breaking these videos down, removing the audio, and then putting in clown music.
	Watch how Jeffries moves his hand.
	It's not just that it's like, it's weird.
	It's almost...
	Antithetical.
	Contrary to what he's saying.
	There was one particular moment.
	First of all, what he's saying is verbal diarrhea.
	It's like when he talks, I literally see diarrhea coming out of his mouth.
	But in the form of words, listen to this.
	Of the National Defense Authorization Act.
	Is that it is...
	Stop, stop, stop.
	What the hell was that about?
	What is his hand doing?
	The National Authorization Act.
	Of the National Defense Authorization Act.
	Is that it is woefully irresponsible that extreme MAGA Republicans have hijacked, responsible, that extreme MAGA Republicans have hijacked a bipartisan bill that is essential to our national security and taken it over.
	And weaponized it in order to jam their extreme right-wing ideology down the throats of the American people of the National Defense Authorization Act.
	It is woefully irresponsible that extreme MAGA Republicans have hijacked...
	Let's make it a new dance called the Extreme MAGA Republican Dance.
	Extreme MAGA Republican to the Extreme MAGA Republican.
	You'll see like Britney Spears.
	Extreme MAGA Republican.
	It's crazy.
	Go watch Gavin Newsom.
	Let me see if I can pull up one quick Gavin Newsom one.
	Because he put out a video earlier.
	It's crazy.
	I don't know what...
	It's showing someone whose thoughts are disconnected from their body.
	Excuse me.
	I'm joking here.
	Gavin Newsom.
	Hold on.
	I'm just going to pull this up so we can end on something funny.
	Evan Newsom.
	I forget what he was talking about.
	Here it is!
	Here it is.
	Oh my goodness.
	First of all, give Dave Rubin credit where credit's due.
	He keeps posting that meme of Gavin Newsom with leather reptilian skin pulled over his face.
	Repetition makes for memory because that's all I can think of now when I see Gavin Newsom.
	Look at this.
	Look at this.
	We're going to play us out with Gavin Newsom.
	First of all, if you see someone staring at you like that, Stranger Danger Runaway People.
	Oh!
	I mean, he looks like a villain out of a Batman movie.
	He looks like the guy from Batman.
	What's his name?
	American Psycho.
	What's his name?
	Patrick Bateman.
	What's his name?
	Oh, it has a C in it.
	It has a C in it.
	Chat, please help me out here.
	What's his name?
	No, not Jackass.
	He's a dope.
	What's the guy's name?
	Christian Bale.
	He looks like Christian Bale.
	Okay.
	Let me just make sure that we're still looking at this.
	We are.
	Watch Gavin Newsom's hands.
	Everybody, it's Gavin Newsom, father of four.
	Father of four, why are you showing me ten hands?
	Why are you showing me ten?
	Or maybe he's showing me four on both hands.
	Newsom, father of four.
	That looks like ten to me.
	It either looks like ten or eight.
	Father of four is how you would do it if you're not a psychopath.
	When your hands are connected to your thoughts, connected to your body.
	Father of four.
	Not father of four.
	Father of four.
	Father of four with two young elementary school kids, and I want to talk to the parents of the Temecula School District.
	We've been paying close attention, as I know you have, particularly with school coming up on August 14th.
	You're worried, I'm worried, we're all worried about access to information, access to the latest social studies.
	Stranger danger.
	Run away.
	When you see eyes like that, like glowing in the dark, run away.
	These books that are being made available quite literally to hundreds of thousands of kids all throughout the state of California, but are being denied to the kids in the Temecula District.
	That social studies book is being censored by the local school board.
	I know that's created a lot of anxiety.
	The last thing we need is more anxiety.
	Climate crisis.
	Climate crisis, war in the Ukraine, COVID, lockdowns.
	The last thing we need is more anxiety.
	I want you to know that we're moving forward.
	The state is moving forward in purchasing and procuring those social studies books.
	Your kids have the freedom to learn, and you have the freedom to access those books, the same books that hundreds of thousands of other kids throughout the state are accessing.
	So rest assured, we'll be sending those books down in very short order.
	By the way, this is a sign of aggression.
	So rest assured, we'll be sending those books down in very short order.
	And let's do our best, all of us, to soften the edges.
	Of these debates and to make sure that we provide accurate information and the freedom for our kids to learn.
	That, after all, is the California way.
	All right.
	Everybody, if you would be so inclined, we're going to go over to Locals.
	We're going to end on Rumble now.
	Let's see how many people are going to come to Locals.
	You don't have to be a supporter.
	You can actually just join as a member.
	I think we're up to...
	Let me see how many people we're up to in terms of the community.
	There's a members.
	You don't have to pay.
	You don't have to do anything.
	You can just be part of the community.
	Let me see here how many we're up to.
	Stats here.
	I think we're up to 112,000 members, which is just people within the community.
	112,278 members.
	You get tons of free stuff.
	You don't have to support.
	If you ever choose to support, all the better.
	But come there.
	We have a community of 112,000 people.
	When I have a question, I go to our community.
	It's wonderful.
	Everyone is above average, as everybody knows.
	Come on over there.
	We're going to have a little after-party at vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Everybody, Sunday night, we're going to have an amazing show with Barnes.
	Again, lots of news, obviously.
	What else?
	Take care of yourselves.
	Talk to your friends and neighbors.
	Keep spreading the wild, wild truth that is reality.
	In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	I forget who said it.
	That is it.
	Come on over to Locals.
	Do I play us out with anything else?
	No, that's it.
	We've done it.
	All right.
	We are ending on the Rumbles, people.
	Thank you very much.
	Enjoy the evening.
	Stay tuned.
	Next week, we're going to have some great stuff.
	Going to be up with Carl Benjamin.
	And that's it.
	Come on over to Locals.
	Party's carrying on there.
	Enjoy you.
	You all enjoy the rest of the day, and I'll see you Sunday.
	Peace out.
	Locals in 30. And by 30, I mean now.
	All right, people, what's up?
