	This is all wrong.
	I shouldn't be up here.
	I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean.
	Yet you all come to us young people for hope.
	How dare you?
	You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.
	And yet I'm one of the lucky ones.
	People are suffering.
	People are dying.
	Entire ecosystems are collapsing.
	We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth.
	How dare you?
	Good performance.
	Unbelievable.
	For more than 30 years, the science has been crystal clear.
	Oh, for more than 30 years.
	How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you're doing enough when the politics and solutions needed are still...
	nowhere in sight.
	You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency but no matter how sad and angry I am I do not want to believe that because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act then you would be evil and that I refuse to believe.
	Can you imagine not just subjecting your kid to that, but allowing your kid, promoting your kid to effectively be a tool, even if you believe it and you don't think it's ridiculous propaganda, to promoting your child to being used as a Tool.
	A pawn in that game of chess.
	Can you believe that?
	I haven't watched that in a very long time.
	And I forgot how utterly depressing that is.
	This is a kid who's being whipped up into a traumatic frenzy to think that her childhood and her future is being stolen from her by evil adults or adults that she refuses to believe are evil.
	The science has been settled for 30 years.
	I'm glad she picked 30 years and not 40 years because in the decade before, they were warning about global cooling, not about global warming.
	And her parents, it's pure child exploitation.
	And at the time when she was a minor, I was like, I wasn't going to pick on a kid.
	First of all, it's not even her.
	She's being used as a tool by her parents.
	You'll see why this video is back in the news for today.
	That's what we're starting with.
	Refresh our memories as to who these actors and pawns and political tools are on the international stage.
	Now, before we get going any further, first things first, we shall make sure...
	I had a day and a half yesterday of streaming.
	I had Vivek Ramaswamy on in the morning, and I love it because he stayed longer than we had budgeted for time, which I take as the ultimate flattery.
	If ever I make it on with Rogan and the podcast is like under two hours, I'm going to think that he didn't like me because those podcasts, they always go three hours.
	And I always wonder, when they go short, what happened between him and the interviewee?
	When a guest says, I've got an hour, and then they stay an hour and a half or longer, I take that as the utmost of flattery.
	I'm going to make sure that we're live on vivabarneslaw.locals.com at the same time.
	I believe we are.
	Just going to make sure.
	And then I'm going to talk about what is under my leg right now.
	Are we live here?
	We are live.
	Good.
	So if it looks like I'm sitting funny, I am.
	The Google said to put a tennis ball under my leg to alleviate the pressure on my sciatic nerve.
	But am I supposed to put it in my butt cheek?
	Because...
	Feels awful uncomfortable.
	Bada bing, bada boom, I'm joking.
	I've been complaining about a sore sciatica.
	Sciatica?
	Or sciatic nerve for a little while.
	I'm getting old, people.
	It hurts when I get up.
	My knees crack when I kneel down.
	I'm still, I'm jogging every day.
	I'm doing my 4.7 miles, give or take.
	Do 100 curls with 20 pound dumbbells afterwards.
	But my sciatic is really...
	It's really killing me these days, but it'll come and it goes.
	These things happen.
	All right, we've got a show and a half today.
	Yeah, I'm not picking on Greta Thunberg.
	I'm highlighting some very serious problems that the world should know.
	Sometimes you're speaking to a person, and other times you are speaking to others via the discussion with that person.
	In as much as Greta Thunberg was a tool for the propaganda about the climate crisis five years ago, well, she's inadvertently or wittingly or unwittingly found herself as a tool in another public issue.
	that's going on today and we're gonna get into that she tweeted out something this morning we're gonna go into it in some detail it was her standing with Palestinian rights because this is now the conflict of the of the day that has to divide everybody across the world we've got a nationalized foreign conflict and oversimplify create dichotomies create good versus evil you know right and wrong that's it's it's There are certain things where it is objectively black and white and good versus evil.
	When it comes to the complexities of the 70-plus year conflict in the Middle East, it's not as simple as taking sides despite what everyone wants out there.
	But she puts out a tweet that says, you know, it's a picture, and it has...
	I stand with the Palestinians.
	And then another sign that says climate crisis.
	As if that wouldn't have been offensive enough to grift off the plight of the Palestinian people to promote your climate crisis agenda, it got deeper and quickly.
	We're going to get to that.
	Sidney Powell pleaded guilty yesterday.
	We're going to talk about that.
	And Cheesebro just pleaded, as far as the news goes, this morning I have the article up on the backdrop.
	I was live with Hunley at noon.
	Barnes is live with the quartering now.
	And Hunley, I think, is still live with the lawyer crew.
	So there's a lot of stuff out there that you can all be watching in terms of increasing, enhancing your knowledge of what's going on in the world.
	And if you can't catch all of it in real time, catch it on reruns.
	Sidney Powell pleads guilty, and I think it's an absolute debacle.
	I think it's an absolute disaster.
	I think it's the first of the many dominoes.
	You know that meme of the small domino falling against the bigger domino, and then eventually that little tiny domino is able to knock down a door?
	That's what this is.
	We'll get to it.
	What else did I have on the back burner here?
	Oh, and then Marissa Streit from PragerU is coming on at 2.30.
	So we're going to have an interesting interview about what PragerU is doing these days.
	Got a lot of stuff.
	There's something else.
	What do I have in the background here?
	Hold on a second.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	No, then some Canadian absurdity.
	I'm moving the tennis ball now.
	It's becoming a literal pain in me.
	But before we get into any of that, people, hold on.
	I know that I checked the box that said we have a sponsor for this video because we do.
	Good.
	I'd like to thank our sponsor of the day is fieldofgreens.com.
	Let me bring up the screen, people.
	Health.
	Should be everyone's number one priority.
	When they say health, wealth, and happiness, health leads to wealth, and it leads to happiness.
	So you don't have your health, you don't have anything, and it means taking care of your body and doing the right thing.
	Most people do not know.
	How many servings of raw fruits and vegetables are you supposed to have daily?
	Everyone watching here is going to know because everyone's above average in terms of knowledge.
	You're supposed to have between five and seven servings of raw fruits and vegetables a day.
	And I think the emphasis is typically supposed to be on the vegetables because they're higher in fiber.
	The fruits are like nature's way of getting sugar.
	But we need sugar.
	People are supposed to have five to seven servings of raw fruits and vegetables a day.
	And I dare say the vast majority of people do not have that.
	And instead, they get into bad habits of sucking down a disgusting Diet Coke in the afternoon or a sugar-laden Red Bull.
	One of those little Red Bulls has...
	Is it 54 grams of sugar in it?
	Or is it 45?
	It's 45, it's a lot of frickin' sugar.
	You get stuck in bad habits, you don't eat your fruits and veggies, you don't end up sleeping well, you don't get your exercise, and then you end up feeling bad and people turn to medications where eating healthy, being healthy would resolve many of those problems.
	Field of Greens is what we call a desiccated fruit and vegetable.
	It's not an extract, it's not...
	Oh, what's the other word?
	An extract or a supplement.
	It's a food.
	It's USDA organic approved.
	It's made in America.
	One spoonful is one serving of fruits and vegetables.
	You do it twice a day.
	It's a healthy alternative to bad habits.
	It's healthy.
	And it gives you one serving twice a day.
	That would be two servings of fruits and vegetables twice a day.
	And if you travel, like I do occasionally, sometimes it becomes increasingly difficult to find raw fruits and vegetables on the road.

	Thank you.
	Okay.
	Now, let's start with this.
	It's almost irreverent, not irreverent, it's almost irrelevant and I can appreciate that.
	But my goodness, I keep saying...
	Is the focus?
	It's in focus?
	I keep saying that I should stop having debates on Twitter because it's not a place for...
	I don't even want to say nuanced.
	It's not a place for debate, for interactive discourse.
	It's a place for zingers, gotchas, tropes.
	It's an annoying place to try and have a debate, and yet I keep doing it, and I keep...
	I'm getting sucked into the bad habit of trying to do it.
	But alas, we're going to do it right now.
	And I won't get into the depths of some of the debates I've been having, but let me bring up...
	Oh, the post is unavailable.
	That's right, because she deleted the tweet.
	Well, okay, hold on.
	No, we're going to have to start in chronological order.
	The original tweet...
	Let me go find it.
	We need to find it.
	Here we go.
	Don't be distracted by where this is going.
	Just pay attention to the original tweet, which was the one to which I was originally responding.
	Alright, here we go.
	Look at this.
	Bring it up.
	Here we go.
	Don't get distracted by it.
	Here we go.
	We're going to focus on this picture right now.
	Are we seeing it?
	We are seeing it.
	Can I make it bigger?
	I can make it bigger.
	Okay, here we go.
	Conflict in the Middle East.
	It's an absolute Tragedy.
	It's an absolute horror show and innocent people are being caught in the crossfires of government and terrorist action.
	Period.
	When I say there's certain things that are black and white, terrorism is black and white.
	That being said, and despite what everyone thinks would be the standard opinion that I don't think that what Israel is doing in Gaza is going to solve the problem, is going to be productive, and I don't think it's going to do anything but exacerbate the problem.
	And I'm old enough to have lived through three cycles of this in the past, so it's not for nothing that I say this.
	That's a separate issue.
	I've talked about it.
	It's a very impossible discussion to have because tribalism runs deep.
	Decades of grievances run deep.
	And you're not going to convince anybody who's already come to their opinion on it.
	Where I chimed in to highlight the absurdity of some of this.
	Greta Thunberg, a young person with very, very strong opinions on very complex issues, but maybe not the most well-founded opinions, tweeted this out earlier this morning.
	Now you know one of the parts of the punchline is the tweet was subsequently deleted.
	Week 270 of her own strike.
	It's got to be about me.
	How do I work this into my grift?
	Because I don't use that word very often, but I use it where I think a grift is a grift.
	Week 270 of her strike, which means it started 270 weeks ago.
	But now there's something in the news today.
	Let's see how we can merge the two so I can get some headlines.
	Today we strike in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza.
	The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice and freedom for Palestinians and all civilians affected.
	So she got the catch-all in the end there.
	And then you have an image.
	And this is the image.
	One person says, free Palestine.
	I appreciate the sentiment and I understand the arguments.
	Bottom left says, this Jew stands with Palestine.
	I appreciate that there are a lot of Jews that stand with Palestine.
	There are also a lot of Jews that stand with Israel.
	There's also a lot of Jews that have some very, very counterintuitive positions on this debate.
	That's not what I'm focusing on either.
	I'm actually not even focusing on the circled octopus, but we're going to get there in a second.
	In behind.
	Palestinian flag on a poster that says, "Climate justice now." So I simply say, going back to my tweets, "Climate justice now with the Palestinians..." We're entering a situation where an entire area is being leveled with bombs.
	Whether or not you think it's justified, whether or not you think it's productive, whether or not you think it's useful or going to solve the problem, set all of that aside.
	You're dealing with Palestinian civilians, innocent Palestinian civilians whose lives are being upended, and you put their flag on your climate crisis now and think that that's not somehow an insanely offensive grift off the suffering of the Palestinian people.
	And that is what I said.
	I wonder...
	How innocent Palestinians would feel about you exploiting their plight to promote your climate justice agenda.
	The problem is you need to actually understand things in order to have an educated opinion on them.
	Like most children, you're good at the opinion part.
	It's your education that's lacking.
	And I didn't understand where this was going at the time because I go back to the post and it says the post not available because Greta Thunberg deleted the post.
	And so I say, oh, maybe she realized how callous it was.
	To grift off the plight of the Palestinian people to promote her climate crisis agenda.
	But no, no, I was just, my momentary, my moment of optimism quickly turned into pessimism that even I could not have anticipated.
	She deleted the tweets because apparently it contained something that could be deemed to be Offensive or anti-Semitic.
	And, you know, Greta's all about thoughtfulness and understanding.
	In her explanation, so by the way, this is it.
	In the original picture, which I, you know, many people probably would not have noticed.
	You see a blue octopus.
	I don't think the color makes much of a difference.
	It's an octopus.
	On the knee of the person in the back who's grifting off Palestinian plight to promote climate crisis, climate justice now.
	Imagine.
	The death of innocent civilians and the justice that this individual wants while linking it to the Palestinian flag, climate justice.
	What's on that kid's knee?
	An octopus.
	Well, some people seem to have noticed that that relates to certain anti-Semitic tropes, iconography, symbolism or symbology of the past.
	And apparently Greta was getting some hate, some blowback saying, hey, What the hell is that doing on the knee of the girl who is putting up a post saying, climate crisis now, we're ostensibly criticizing Israel.
	We've got the blue octopus.
	What does that mean?
	Some of you might not know this.
	And like I've had an argument with Kim Iverson, it doesn't matter what you knew or did not know.
	It matters what that person meant by putting that octopus on their knee in a post in which they're criticizing the state of Israel.
	It's an old, well-known anti-Semitic trope.
	My understanding, someone said that the origins of this particular anti-Semitic trope was that it's supposed to represent Winston Churchill, who's representing Zionism, grasping the globe.
	That's the origins.
	Whether or not you knew it, that is the origin of the octopus.
	Greta Thunberg comes out and says, I didn't know what it was.
	It's just, you know, some autistic kids use plushies to express themselves.
	That was her explanation for how...
	That octopus ended up on the knee of that person who was callous enough in the first place to try to appropriate Palestinian plight to further climate justice now.
	And I said, I'm not believing it.
	I mean, how the hell does that happen?
	It's not an accident to the person who did it.
	When Gretchen Whitmer put in the 8645 in the backdrop, it doesn't matter that 90% of the people didn't see it or wouldn't have understood what it meant.
	It was put there for a bloody reason.
	Now, some of the flack that I've been getting is Viv is going all lefty.
	I'm not offended by that.
	I'm not offended by that.
	And call me a self-hater.
	And some people are going to say, I think I'm going to get in anybody's good books who doesn't like Jewish people in general.
	I'm not offended by it.
	I'm not...
	I'm not insulted by it.
	I don't think she should be cancelled for it.
	But don't give me a bullcrap excuse.
	We didn't know what we were doing when we propped up an octopus on the knee of a person in an anti or a critical of Israel post.
	Just say that you are accusing Israel of, like an octopus, expanding its territory into Gaza.
	That is the criticism.
	Don't pretend you didn't know what you were doing.
	And then people go in and say, I'm not about cancelling.
	I'm not about...
	I'm not ordering the takedown of it.
	I'm not offended by it.
	In fact, people's memories are so bloody short and their blinders are so bloody directional that they don't...
	I mean, again, I'm not getting any credit in anybody's good books for this.
	But the value of consistency is consistency.
	Consistency is its own reward.
	I don't find it offensive.
	I don't even think people shouldn't be allowed to post it.
	And I don't even think they should be demonized for posting it.
	I understand what they mean from it.
	They might not have appreciated the trope that it is.
	They are expressing a legitimate criticism, ostensibly, even though they might be using an antiquated anti-Semitic trope to do it, of an issue of political importance.
	I'm so not offended by it, and I'm so consistent in my reasoning.
	You all remember that guy, Douglas Mackey?
	Hold on, I'll bring this out for a second.
	You all remember Douglas Mackey?
	Ricky Vaughn?
	The guy who I have been defending?
	Raising awareness about, lamenting the outrageous sentence that he just got of seven months for posting a meme that says vote by mail.
	I've been defending that guy since he's been charged, since before he's been charged.
	I've been saying that that guy has gotten the stiff end of the injustice stick like nobody else out there.
	You remember how they tried to demonize him at the time?
	Oh, he's an anti-Semite.
	He posted anti-Semitic memes.
	Look, no one's going to say, this is Ricky Vaughn, he posted this.
	Do you think?
	Should I care?
	Maybe I should care.
	Maybe I should be the one screaming, take it down.
	Oh my God, it's terrible.
	No, he posted this.
	All right.
	He's allowed to post things that I think are stupid.
	He posted the very meme, which also leads me to believe that there's no way these kids didn't know what they were doing when they put that up.
	Maybe Greta didn't know because she's not the one who did it.
	It was the girl behind her.
	Ricky Vaughn posted this.
	What does that change in my view of the injustice that Ricky Vaughn has gone under?
	Nothing.
	Do I think it should be canceled for it?
	Hell no!
	Do I find it mildly offensive?
	No!
	Because I'm a lawyer and I can dissociate the expression of an idea from the idea itself.
	Does it make me scared that Ricky Vaughn tweeted that out?
	Does it make me scared that the girl behind Greta Thunberg put that on?
	No!
	But don't pretend that we're...
	Don't treat us like we're idiots.
	Don't treat us like we're idiots.
	Oh, great.
	Steve Britton.
	I said it.
	I said it.
	I'm forgetting something.
	Tabarouet.
	And I haven't looked at the super...
	I apologize, people, on Locals.
	It's like...
	Okay, I'm adding it right now.
	I didn't add the RTPM.
	So that's the...
	The irony in all of this, by the way, is that the left applies rules.
	They wanted to cancel Ricky Vaughn because of that...
	Stupid meme.
	I wouldn't, but you said it was anti-Semitic when Ricky Vaughn did it.
	You said he's a white nationalist when Ricky Vaughn did it.
	Well, you just got caught doing it, and don't expect me to believe that you're such young babes in the woods.
	You didn't know.
	I didn't know.
	Here, hold on one second, guys.
	I'm just going to prop up something prominently in a post critical of the very state.
	To which that icon relates, and pretend I didn't know.
	And people out there, so disingenuous in the, it's a little doll, what does it mean?
	People pretend not to understand symbolism versus the object.
	An object can be an object, it can also represent something.
	And so, yeah, an octopus sitting in some kid's room on the bed is a plushie.
	A plushy octopus sitting on the knee of a girl criticizing Israel in a post they put out onto Twitter is no longer just a plushy.
	And anyone pretending, it's just a plushy.
	Disingenuous.
	Everyone's like, okay, Viva, now you're going to go out and say that OK is anti-Semitic.
	No, I'm not.
	Because I've already said that that is an idiotic thing to do because the A-OK...
	Was a meme that the ADL fell for with no historical use as the use that is deemed to be anti-Semitic in current time.
	So no, they're not the same.
	And you want to disingenuously pretend they are the same.
	Expect people to question your judgment.
	Oh, well, I didn't know that it meant something anti-Semitic, so no one meant it.
	It doesn't matter what anyone understood except for the person who did it.
	And obviously, enough people understood that Greta got enough blowback that she had to delete it.
	Take that picture again and post another picture which is, in my opinion, more offensive than the one with the octopus.
	It's the one that cheaply, what's the word I'm looking for?
	Opportunistically seeks to grift off the suffering of innocent Palestinians so they can promote their climate crisis rubbish.
	Climate justice now.
	Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what the innocent civilians and citizens of Gaza are thinking right now.
	Carbon emissions.
	That's what they're thinking.
	Greta.
	Oh my goodness.
	I love the fact that people didn't know that I'm Jewish.
	I'm a very, very rule-breaking, bacon-eating, non-Shabbat.
	I don't talk about it in normal times because it's not something that's relevant to normal discussion.
	Everybody wants to understand why I'm 5 '6".
	It can be used to explain certain things.
	It can be used to explain certain...
	Practices, history, culture.
	Yeah, my grandfather came from Poland, left in 1936 before the Holocaust, tried to go back to get family, was unsuccessful.
	We had 25 family members that died in Poland.
	The one that got away was my grandfather, went to Argentina, ended up in Winnipeg or Calgary.
	But I don't believe that my religion, what I was born into, dictates...
	Any of my beliefs.
	I don't think it legitimizes any of my beliefs.
	And I don't think it...
	I don't think someone not being Jewish delegitimizes any of their beliefs.
	So as far as an argument tactic, a tool of discussion, it's irrelevant.
	Viva could have played a hobbit.
	You're damn right I could have played a hobbit.
	Say, oh, it's a Hundley raid.
	Okay, I see what's going on.
	Oh, no, but that's it.
	So that's it.
	But, oh, no.
	Well, I didn't know...
	It's not an octopus in and of itself is nothing.
	86 is just a number.
	45 is just a number.
	When someone puts 86-45 in the backdrop of a presentation they're giving to the world, that other people don't know what it means does not mean that the person who did it on purpose deliberately to show a point did not know what it means.
	And that's all that's relevant in this context.
	I don't think Greta Thunberg understood what it meant.
	She wasn't the one who did it.
	But to come out and say, I...
	Oh, Viva has reposted editing out of the...
	I don't know.
	Hold on.
	This is...
	To come back and say...
	I didn't know what...
	We didn't know.
	I didn't know what it meant.
	It's just something for autistic children.
	I mean, it's an amazing thing to...
	No, what is this?
	I just bought two and a half pound octopus and some live crabs from the seafood market.
	Well, take a...
	Context is everything, people.
	Let me see something.
	Hold on a second.
	Imagine running from the Nazis and ending up in Argentina.
	I think it was a way out, not an end destination.
	I think it was one of the places that was easier to get to.
	Viva Barnes is cheating with Jeremy.
	Hold on, there was a chat that I wanted to bring up.
	Oh, Viva, she reposted editing out the octopus.
	She didn't repost it.
	She just took the picture again.
	I don't think it was an edit because the...
	The image looked different.
	And that's all it's worth.
	I was actually angrier.
	I was just more irritated at the opportunistic exploitation of the tragedy of the Palestinian people so they can grift their climate justice now.
	That's what I was angriest at at the beginning.
	Then I found it quite ironic.
	And then I found people's purported...
	Oh, this thing is.
	Anyway, Viva's getting to be a cranky old man.
	Okay, so on that note, everybody.
	We've got Hunley Raid because his show's over.
	Barnes is not cheating on me.
	I might be cheating on Barnes because I don't have a schedule that I go with.
	The Quartering has his schedule and he's got his weekly interviews and I actually learned about Barnes being on it last night, or not last night, but this morning while watching Barnes' Night Owl bourbon with Barnes on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	But there's more than enough time in the day to catch on rewatches.
	So before we head over to the Rumble.
	Fieldofgreens.com will bring you to BrickHouse Nutrition.
	Go get into good, healthy habits, because life is about habits, and so you may as well make sure that you have the healthy ones.
	Fieldofgreens.com brings you to BrickHouse Nutrition, and promo code VIVA will get you, what did I say, 15% off your first order.
	There's a link to Rumble.
	And while everyone goes, I just want to see the number go down from 722 to under 700 before we go there.
	Oh, did I not bring up any of the super...
	See, I didn't bring these up.
	Oh, Maria Patel, FYI, Chris Sky interview.
	Brought out all the Jew haters in the comments section, both in Rumble and YouTube, hoping they were Chris Sky groupies.
	This is one where I could picture my father watching my interview with Chris Sky and saying, you know, more of my parents.
	People saying, how could you let that guy say those things?
	In as much as I know Chris Sky, he might...
	I know that he expresses things provocatively.
	And I know where I disagree on, not everything, because I can't disagree on everything he says.
	I know where I disagree on some of his interpretations of the same object, the same screen we're looking at.
	But I think it's important to let people express their thoughts and then people can see the reactions.
	People can go assess them on their own.
	That's it.
	And, you know, he's hyperbolic, but he's well informed.
	Although he might be mistaken on certain things, but, you know, it is also equally disingenuous to say, you know, Chris Skye says, write things on issue X, but because he says things on issue Y that I don't like, then I have to write them off entirely.
	I'm not going to write them off entirely.
	He's been right and wrong on certain things.
	I certainly...
	I understand the substance, to quote the Supreme Court, I understand the pith and substance of much of what he said, and I disagree with a lot of it because I think it's just interpreting the same set of circumstances differently through the blinders that we have.
	When he views Israel as the force, the dominating force for 70 years, they get their way, it's all on them.
	Well, that ignores, you know, Israel being what it is in the broader context of what it is, which is surrounded by a population of a billion of governments that are hostile.
	So looking at Israel and saying, yeah, Israel is the superpower over Gaza, whereas it's outnumbered and flanked by governments that are hostile to it, it's a question of perspective how you look at that.
	But he spoke his mind and people can assess accordingly.
	Scott McLachlan.
	Sydney was simply running out of money.
	Well, we're going to get to that in a second.
	Local stream.
	I'm sorry, I just saw that.
	See Britain.
	Thank you very much.
	Florida dad.
	If Greta wants to bring up her autism to excuse her behavior, Hamas kidnapped and murdered Naya Dunn, a 12-year-old autistic girl.
	Where is Greta on the rights of autism?
	It's just, it's horrendous.
	And I've said it before, but, you know, people seem to ignore that the Palestinian people are themselves victims of Hamas terror as well.
	A lot of people say it's free.
	You know, they had free elections and they elected Hamas.
	Yeah.
	Chris Guy interviewed my first ever viewing of a live rant of an anti-Semite.
	Still, I'm all for free speech.
	He might be anti-Israel.
	Does he hate me?
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	Does he think I'm one of the good ones?
	I don't bank on that in terms of dealing with people.
	Greta...
	I don't know.
	What's wrong with it?
	If I'm reading this, that says Greta Thunbarg is...
	Okay, I don't know.
	All right, now we're going to end it on YouTube.
	Come on over to Rumble.
	We're well under the 700 mark.
	Sorry for the last minutes of reading at Rance.
	Ending now, getting to Sidney Powell.
	Cheesebro.
	His name is Cheesebro.
	Three, two, one.
	Oh, man.
	I hate arguing on Twitter.
	And I just have to stop.
	Look, I know when I am ad hominem with people who I have already written off as bad faith actors.
	Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh.
	But even then!
	But these like...
	Deliberate misrepresentations, just the gotchas.
	Oh, so you're okay with the...
	So you think this is antiseptic?
	No!
	And you know it.
	So why do you say something so stupid?
	Oh, you're pulling a lefty thing?
	No!
	I'll sit there and defend Ricky Vaughn until I'm blue in the face.
	Not Ricky Vaughn, Douglas Mackey.
	Until I'm blue in the face.
	So why do you say stupid things like that?
	Oh, because people who don't know better can run with that stupid oversimplification misrepresentation of who I am as a human.
	Meh!
	Let's see what's going on on Rumble here.
	Twitter X is a difficult place to have an intelligent debate, says Irish Marine 57. I tend to agree.
	Trudeau O bans prayer...
	Dude, is there...
	Like, I didn't know about the whole Michelle Obama scandal.
	Is there a controversy or conspiracy theory?
	Is there a conspiracy theory that Greta Thunberg is a man?
	She looks feminine to me.
	Doesn't even matter.
	We change nothing of the hypocrisy opportunism and callous opportunism at that.
	All right, so Sidney Powell.
	What the bloody hell is she doing?
	Sidney Powell pleaded...
	Let me pull up the article just so I don't misrepresent it.
	And I'm not...
	Look, I haven't done a mere headline analysis.
	I've read the...
	What was it?
	It wasn't a superseding indictment, but it was the replacement grand jury indictment, which basically charged her with new charges.
	They dropped all of the felony charges and get her to plead to misdemeanor charges.
	What she was ordered to do in that is nothing but kiss the ring, bend the knee, two plus two is five, I love big brother.
	I've listened to Robert Gouveia's analysis on this, his factual analysis in his stream yesterday as I'm driving back from the...
	Dinesh D'Souza interview.
	I'm listening to Robert Gouveia while I drive.
	His factual analysis is thorough and detailed.
	I disagree with his opinion on this.
	He's a very smart man, but I want to hear what he has to say, but I disagree with him.
	I agree with Robert Barnes on this, but I issued my opinion before Barnes, so I didn't know what he thought on this.
	Conclusions are conclusions.
	You just have to make sure the facts upon which your conclusions are based are actually true.
	Listen to this.
	Former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell pleads guilty in Georgia election interference case.
	I also disagree with, not really disagree with Jonathan Turley, but have a different way of viewing it.
	Sidney Powell, a one-time attorney for former President Donald Trump.
	And the one time.
	How about you specify the duration of that time?
	Because she didn't last as attorney for Donald Trump for very long.
	Now, she was attorney in other contexts where she made her bed that she now has to sleep in, and it was one that we were, we, that is say Robert Barnes and I were critical of at the time.
	Making statements about Dominion that we were critical of at the time, that we said at the time were factually incorrect, were likely going to lead to defamation lawsuits, were likely going to undermine legitimate election contests.
	Lo and behold, that all came true, but how?
	Sidney Powell, a one-time attorney for Foreign President Donald Trump, who helped orchestrate his legal efforts...
	To overturn the 2020 election defeat has pleaded guilty in the sweeping Georgia election case.
	Framing is so damn beautiful.
	She pleaded guilty in the broader context of the sweeping Georgia election interference case, but what she pleaded guilty to had nothing to do with the RICO charges that were brought against her in the original grand jury indictment.
	Powell spread baseless claims of widespread election fraud after the 2020 contest and worked to access voting machines in Coffey County, Georgia and elsewhere to further those assertions.
	Yep, we said a lot of these claims were baseless, factually incorrect, and easily verifiably so.
	The corporate history between Smartmatic and Dominion.
	Easily, verifiably so.
	Servers being seized, the ghost of Hugo Chavez, easily, verifiably, factually incorrect, problematic, and undermined legitimate election contests.
	She did great work with Michael Flynn.
	Nobody's going to forget that.
	Clearly, she did not do equally great work here.
	Powell is one of 19 people, including the foreign president, who was charged in the racketeering case, tied to the failed efforts to revert...
	She also faced six other charges for her role in organizing an effort to illegally copy election data from rural Republican heavy Coffey County.
	There is no evidence of fraud in Georgia's thrice Oh, that's good.
	You mean you just recounted it?
	Oh, you can count it 50 times.
	You're counting dollar bills.
	You're not making sure that they're not illegitimate dollar bills.
	Count all you want.
	You'll get the same number every time.
	Thursday morning, one day before the jury selection, to her trial with Kenneth Cheeseborough, Powell appeared in Fulton County to plead guilty to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties.
	Duties.
	Listen to this.
	Under the plea deal, Powell will serve six years probation, $6,000 fine, restitution of $2,700...
	Restitution...
	We're not done yet.
	For the cost of replacing election equipment...
	Write an apology letter.
	Now, I've verified that this summary of the accounts to which she pleaded are accurate and that this is, in fact, what she agreed to.
	She agreed to write an apology letter.
	And she agreed to testify truthfully in future hearings and trials.
	I'm no American lawyer, period.
	But I thought everyone takes an oath when they agree to testify.
	And if they don't, it's a crime in and of itself.
	Agree to testify truthfully in advance?
	Call me skeptical.
	That reeks.
	That's like, I reaffirm that I'm going to abide by the law when I affirm that I'm going to abide by the law when I take my oath before testifying.
	Hmm.
	This doesn't sound like she's going to testify truthfully to me.
	It sounds like she's going to testify beneficially to somebody as well as provide, quote, any requested documents or evidence subject to any lawful privileges asserted in good faith prior to entering this plea.
	Okay.
	Powell and her attorneys denied wrongdoing, arguing that Coffey County officials, some of who are also co-defendants in the case, invited the scrutiny of voting machines.
	They deny wrongdoing.
	She pleaded to it.
	And that's it.
	And what does she plead to it?
	She's going to write an apology letter.
	I love Big Brother.
	There are four lights.
	Two plus two is five.
	Okay, now why do I find this so bloody offensive?
	Look, first of all, it's easy to play with other people's freedom.
	And what I would have done under similar circumstances, I guess I could never know until I'm under such circumstances.
	I was listening to Tim Pool yesterday.
	And, you know...
	He's saying, you know, I'll go to jail.
	If someone tells me, if someone says, say something you don't believe in, I'll go to jail rather than live with a violation of my own conscience.
	It's the principal thing to say.
	It's the principal thing to believe.
	And it's the principal thing that many people would do.
	But one could imagine that there are innocuous lies, so to speak, that you would issue rather than go to jail for 100 years.
	I mean, just like, it's always the ends of the spectrum that are obvious, like, where you can...
	Reduce it to an absurdity.
	I don't know.
	Someone says, say the election was clean or you'll go to jail for a hundred years.
	I think most people say the election was clean.
	Let me live my life.
	Someone says, testify against your spouse or you'll go to jail for 20 years.
	Okay, there you start getting into like where the issue of principle becomes sufficiently important compared to the punishment.
	There are some...
	Some extreme examples where one can say the issue of principle is so insignificant, it's a principle that someone can compromise on.
	Did you turn right at the red light?
	Yeah, I turned right at the red light.
	Write me a ticket.
	Don't give me demerit points.
	Okay.
	Did you kill somebody?
	Okay.
	So those are the ends of the spectrums that we can easily understand.
	In this case, agreeing that...
	What did she say?
	That she interfered with someone's election duties.
	Agree to write an apology.
	From the woman who went out and touted the release of the Kraken.
	Incontrovertible evidence that the election was stolen.
	And not just stating her belief.
	What many people said at the time, tainting the other legitimate election contest.
	Starting a movement that discredited...
	A great many people set an expectation in the general population of those who were willing to believe that there was going to be the release of some massive kraken.
	It was going to bring Trump back to the office and she genuinely believed it.
	Now saying, yeah, I guess I was lying when I said that to everybody.
	When that is the question of principle that you are being asked to compromise on, if you truly believe that you are innocent, that might be one of the questions of principle that one would risk going to jail for in order to stand up for.
	But Jonathan Turley puts out a tweet.
	He says, The plea of Sidney Powell to six misdemeanors will allow her to avoid jail and only face minor fines.
	What she did not plead guilty to was the racketeering conspiracy.
	Now, there was a follow-up to that, which drives me nuts because I can't see it.
	Jonathan Turley's right.
	She didn't plead guilty to the racketeering conspiracy.
	The question is going to be how damaging for Trump is this going to be?
	Some people say it's not going to be damaging at all because she didn't plead guilty to anything about the RICO charges.
	Racketeering.
	Corrupt organization.
	Racketeering.
	What's the I stand for?
	Jeez Louise.
	Racketeering.
	Hold on.
	It's going to drive me nuts.
	What is the...
	What's the I in racketeering?
	Intimidation?
	Corrupt organization?
	I think that might be it.
	She didn't plead guilty to the RICO charges.
	Some people are hypothesizing she can now testify truthfully so she might be dangerous for the prosecution.
	Horse crap.
	She was always going to testify honestly if she ever did because it's a lawful obligation.
	What that sounds like to me is you're going to testify truthfully.
	Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
	You don't want us accusing you of not testifying truthfully and coming after you for something else.
	Write a letter of apology.
	It's good for Sidney Powell.
	There is no question about it.
	She avoids jail, which, you know, a lot of people are reasonably facing the prospect of jail because everything is fundamentally corrupt.
	It's good for her.
	It's bad for everyone else.
	It's bad for everything else.
	And bad not in the sense that, oh boy, this is bad.
	The cat's out of the bag.
	It's bad because they've broken the back, they've broken the spirit of the first domino that they needed to now say to the next domino, you're not getting that deal.
	So you'd better agree to the deal that we're giving you now, which is going to be the bigger domino.
	Otherwise, you're going to go to jail.
	That domino's going to fall.
	Go to the next one.
	You're not getting that person's deal.
	You're sure as heck not getting the Sidney Powell deal.
	And now we've got two people who are admitting guilt.
	To certain acts that are not necessarily the RICO acts, but certainly relevant to the overall legal political landscape of this persecution.
	Because it's nothing shy of a persecution.
	It was a persecution against Sidney Powell.
	It's the one that she bent the knee to because of the risks that exist as a result.
	And I said this with the indictment in Georgia, the bogus Alvin Bragg indictment.
	Not in Georgia, in New York.
	Some people say, "Oh, they finally got their indictment.
	They're gonna stop now." Hell no!
	They were gonna take that indictment and use that as the new baseline for future indictments which are gonna get progressively more and more outlandish as they've gotten.
	That was the new normal.
	It leads to an even more new normal.
	And now we're at the new normal where you got this Georgia indictment.
	Now they've got their first new normal plea.
	And you got somebody says, "I did something wrong.
	I interfered with election officials." It's not a betrayal of me or anyone else.
	It's a betrayal of her own beliefs.
	Because she came out and she said, I have the Kraken.
	I have the incontrovertible evidence.
	It's going to overturn the election.
	It's going to put Trump right back in the White House.
	And now she's admitting to everyone out there, I either lied then...
	Or I'm lying now to cover my butt because I don't believe that I have a chance in this weaponized system.
	She might be right about it.
	And then the question is, where do you compromise your integrity for self-preservation?
	The problem is, they're not interested in Sidney Powell.
	They never were.
	They're interested in Trump and Trump alone.
	And now Sidney Powell's guilty plea has become the first of progressively larger and larger dominoes going for the big domino, the big cheese, Donald Trump.
	And speaking of cheese, lawyer cheese, bro.
	Who authored fake electors memos.
	Fake elector memos.
	I think I know what that's going to be.
	It's not going to be a fake elector memo.
	Pleads guilty in Georgia case.
	This was this morning.
	What time was this at?
	12.38.
	An hour and a half ago.
	And I don't even know what's...
	I have not yet filled myself in on the news.
	We're going to do it right now.
	Kenneth Cheesebro, a lawyer who authored memos detailing how Republicans could send false slates of electors.
	They were not false!
	And now, I don't know what he pleaded to, so he might not have pleaded to false, he might have said alternate.
	They were not ever false slates of presidential electors.
	They were alternate slates of electors.
	They were not ones coming in and saying, we are the originals, certify us.
	They were coming in and saying, we are the alternates, we are the ones that should be recognized.
	Nobody was falsifying signatures.
	Nobody was falsifying names.
	They were coming in as the alternate slate of electors to what they believed were...
	A slate of electors constitutionally invalidly appointed.
	Flipping liars in the media.
	Is this Politico?
	No, this is NPR.
	Okay, what did I expect?
	He's pleaded guilty in the election case that charged him and 18 others.
	Okay, let's see what he pleaded guilty to.
	Because the trial was, not the trial, but the jury selection was supposed to start today.
	See, he got one felony count.
	He didn't get the sweetheart deal that he should have gone first.
	If he had gone before Sydney, he would have gotten the misdemeanor.
	Looks like he got a felony.
	Cheesebro pleaded guilty Friday to one felony count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents.
	Prosecutors recommended he serve five years of probation, pay restitution, and complete community service along with testifying at trial.
	My goodness.
	Does everybody see what's going on here?
	That's the bigger domino.
	First domino, a couple of misdemeanor charges.
	Maybe six.
	Who cares?
	Now we got one felony charge.
	Next one, three felony charges.
	And plead.
	And testify, by the way.
	Testify honestly.
	Jury selection had been set...
	I'm not signing up for crap from NPR.
	Cheesebro, who requested a speedy trial in this case, has been set to go to trial alongside attorney Cindy Powell, but she took a plea deal yesterday, and hers was a little bit better.
	What did you learn, and what does the next person learn?
	Cheeseboro was charged in Georgia with seven felony counts, including racketeering.
	According to the indictment, one memo he wrote, quote, provides detailed state-specific instructions for how Trump presidential elector nominees in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin would meet and cast electoral votes for alternate electors because they believe the original electors were the result of a constitutionally invalid process.
	Even though he lost the election in those states, a trial date for the case's other co-defendants, including former President Donald Trump, has not been set.
	They have thrown Trump deeply under the bus.
	And it's an amazing thing.
	Misdemeanors, plea deal, you go.
	Testify honestly.
	Sorry, I got something in my eye.
	You get one felony count because you should have done this yesterday, dummy.
	What did you learn?
	Okay, now you can go.
	Testify honestly.
	He doesn't have to write an apology letter.
	And it's going to get more and more.
	They're going to scare all subsequent defendants.
	And now anyone who goes to trial in this geopolitical landscape, Trump is going to go to trial because dude's not pleading to squat.
	And they're going to go to trial.
	And the jury, presumably, I don't know how this works.
	Maybe they don't know.
	I think they're going to...
	They're going to know people already pleaded guilty.
	Whoa.
	Oh, but they didn't plead guilty to the RICO, so don't let that taint your analysis of the evidence, jury.
	They pleaded guilty to other stuff, interfering with election officials and falsifying documents.
	They didn't plead guilty to RICO.
	So don't come to any conclusions about Trump's guilt under RICO.
	But you know what to do.
	Holy hell.
	Holy hell is all I can say about that.
	Let me see here.
	Force confessions to teach the lessons, says Russell Warren too.
	Hold on, I'm going to bring this up because this is funny.
	Yeah, it's right here.
	Listening to Viva at 3x, what a trip, 14 minutes, and 3x speed to catch up.
	3x is too much.
	That's too much.
	That can cause mental overheating.
	So that's it.
	It's part and parcel of the scam.
	We're seeing it in real time.
	America has been destroyed from the inside.
	The neofascists have taken over.
	That is from Mrs. J. Smith.
	Greta was used as a pawn by her parents.
	She's autistic and they brainwashed that child, says Irish Marine, 57. All right.
	Love to see some people who have eyes open and brain working.
	Unique-ish.
	I hope you're talking about me, but thank you.
	It's terrible.
	I mean, you can't impute intentions to people, but just the thought experiment.
	Everything that Sidney Powell has done, from the kraken to the plea, has undermined the legitimate election contests, has discredited the people who say, rightly, that there was some whole serious chicanery going on.
	And my tweet from yesterday was, if Sidney Powell were trying to sabotage Trump...
	Come up with these outlandish, baseless claims about election stuff.
	Demonstrably and easily demonstrably so.
	Discredit everybody else who's fighting the good fight at the time.
	You know, whatever fundraising was happening as a result of that.
	And then come time to defend your words, defend the expectation that you set in the public eye, and you cop a sweetheart plea deal because it's good for you?
	Well, holy crap.
	It's the end of a career, and she was more than intelligent and more than competent in a great many domains.
	Her work with Michael Flynn was amazing.
	Was it opportunism?
	Was it selfishness?
	Was it brainwashing?
	Was she...
	I don't know.
	What's the word I'm looking for?
	You know, a mole trying to take...
	Who knows?
	But my goodness.
	Irreparable harm in all respects.
	But she's got the sweetheart deal.
	And I can understand why she did it.
	She's got a family.
	I presume she's got kids, grandkids.
	She doesn't want to go to jail.
	And it looks like the system has been so bloody weaponized.
	It'll happen.
	But now the precedent has been set.
	And everybody else that follows is not screwed.
	But certainly up shit creek with a very small paddle.
	All right.
	Before the guest of the day comes on, I got some good fun stuff here.
	Look at this.
	Everybody has to understand it.
	You have to say it.
	You have to believe it.
	Not repeat it like a cult.
	Just you have to internalize it.
	Everything they accuse Trump and family of having done.
	And doing is exactly what Biden and family has done and is doing.
	Everything.
	That's not to say that Trump might not be doing some bad things that I don't know of.
	Peeing on hookers in Russia.
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	Doesn't seem like the type, but what do I know?
	Maybe his kids are out there snorting coke.
	You know, the whole joke about Eric Trump doing coke and Don Trump Jr. being on drugs.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	I've met Don Trump multiple times.
	Doesn't strike me as being that type of guy either.
	Maybe.
	One thing's for certain.
	Biden has been up to the corruption, the quid pro quo.
	Biden kid has been up probably to the pissing on hookers in Russia and the drugs.
	Remember when they came out and said Trump is demented?
	Article 25 him?
	What is it?
	Or 25th Amendment him?
	I forget whatever it is.
	Joe has gotten so bad, it's depressing to watch.
	Early on, it was the butt of jokes.
	And now, I guess it's the butt of the joke.
	The only problem is...
	The world is the butt of that joke.
	This is from a 60 Minutes clip.
	Just look at this.
	Are the wars in Israel and Ukraine more than the United States can take on at the same time?
	We're the United States of America, for God's sake.
	The most powerful nation in the history of the world.
	Well, the history is not yet over, Joe.
	But imagine what he's saying.
	Of course we can handle more wars!
	More America!
	The history of the world.
	Look at those eyes, by the way.
	Look at those eyes.
	Anybody who has ever seen an elderly person suffering from dementia knows exactly what you're looking at in those eyes.
	We can take care of both of these and still maintain our overall international defense.
	We have the capacity to do this and we have an obligation to.
	We are the essential nation to Paris, the former Secretary of State.
	And if we don't, who does?
	We are the essential nation, to phrase the former Secretary of And if we don't do it, who does?
	Imagine if we don't support multiple wars on multiple fronts endlessly, without any objectives, without any conditions.
	If we don't do that, who does?
	Oh my, can you imagine if nobody does?
	Can you imagine if instead of endlessly supporting a war in Ukraine, you had called for the same ceasefire that many people are calling for now in Israel?
	Can you imagine what might have happened then?
	Geez, several hundred thousand living Ukrainians who are now dead as a result of that.
	Demented.
	And hold on, let me get the other one here.
	Joe Biden plane.
	Let me just get the other one because it's just like, it's just...
	What would be more likely to get it?
	Joe Biden plane or Joe Biden chin?
	Because the people were fixated on the chin.
	The video of him on the plane, he does not know where he is.
	With blinking in the background, looking over his shoulder like, don't screw up, Joe.
	How can I not find this video?
	Joe Biden.
	Let's see if that brings it up.
	Man, I can't...
	Well, anyways, everyone's seen.
	It's just so bloody depressing.
	I don't even know what I'm saying.
	Look at this.
	Look at this.
	And you tell me that this is somehow tolerable.
	Somehow justifiable.
	Share screen.
	I don't know whose tweet I pulled it up from.
	I'll make sure it's an original video and not modified.
	I'm just looking for this.
	What is this?
	Are the Israelis operating within the rules of war that you talked about last week being so important?
	Good talking to you.
	Thank you, sir.
	Thank you, sir.
	Not the video I was looking for.
	Look at Blinken.
	Are the Israelis operating...
	Look at Blinken in the background.
	Get this guy out of here now.
	...within the rules of war that you talked about.
	I think Blinken is more in charge than Joe Biden.
	Look at him in the back.
	Get him out of here.
	Now.
	Actually, just only look at Blinken.
	Let's maximize.
	I'm noticing this.
	Are there Israelis operating within the rules of the war?
	Kirby, get him out of here.
	Get him out of here.
	Good talking to you.
	Thank you, sir.
	Thank you, sir.
	It's madness.
	Okay, now let me see here.
	Did I miss anything, Dave?
	Hold on, let me see what this is.
	I see our guest in the backdrop.
	We're going to come in in a second.
	Let me just, I want to share the screen and get that one more crumble rant because it looks like it's funny.
	David Viva Fry, if you worked with me in an office, I would rivet Velcro pads on your shoes so I could hear you slowly coming and know you would stay in place.
	Mr. Entry Required.
	Entry Required, first of all, thank you for the rant and good to see you again.
	Okay, now, guest of the day is in the backdrop.
	Marissa, you're good.
	I'm going to bring you in 30 seconds.
	Okay, thumbs up.
	Marissa Strait, for those of you who don't know, I want to say CE.
	I don't want to know the exact position, but it works with PragerU.
	You may know her because I was recently...
	We did an interview.
	It was back in May.
	Give or take about Canada.
	And my goodness, the day that it was published, just coincidentally, was the day that Justin Trudeau announced that he was Splitsville with his wife.
	And the timing for the release of that interview worked out well.
	And all the crap that has been going on in Canada since then has been more...
	On point for what was discussed in that interview.
	But if you don't know who Marissa is, you're going to meet her now.
	If you don't know who PragerU is, you're going to meet them now.
	And if you don't know what PragerU has been going through in terms of censorship, you have to know because I've been covering some of the PragerU lawsuits against YouTube going back like five years now.
	So, bringing on Marissa Streitz.
	Are you ready?
	Three, two, one.
	I'm on.
	All right, you're on.
	How goes it?
	Hi.
	Hello, my friend.
	You know, we have a lot in common.
	We're both bad at titles.
	I can't remember your title at Rumble, and you can't remember my title.
	So, you know, what we care about is work and truth, not fluffy titles, right?
	Well, absolutely.
	They're only relevant in terms of knowing, you know, having a broad idea of what someone does.
	I am the manic creator.
	That's my title in life.
	So, Marissa, tell the people who don't know who you are who you are.
	So I'm the CEO of PragerU.
	I'm also a professional troublemaker in the world of America's education.
	And like you, I'm a professional troublemaker in traditional media, right?
	I believe in truth.
	And sadly, both the education system and our media cannot be trusted.
	And so it needs to be radically transformed and disrupted.
	And that's basically who I am.
	Everybody knows PragerU.
	I mean, they have an amazing inventory.
	For lack of a better word, of speakers, people who've done appearances, shows on it.
	But just in case someone doesn't know who PragerU is or what PragerU is, how long has it been around for?
	What was its objective?
	How has it evolved over time?
	And what's it doing today?
	Okay, so PragerU has been around for about 12 years.
	I'm not a garage person, so I'll tell you, it started in my kitchen.
	Dennis Prager has been a radio talk show host for many, many years.
	He has this thing that I call medicine for the mind.
	He realized that the world is losing its mind, and through education, which got us into this mess, we have to help repair young minds.
	So about 12 years ago, we started with these short vignettes, these short five-minute vignettes.
	Really telling the truth to the world about the things that they're not learning about.
	And one of the things that we would do is we would make these five-minute videos and we would upload them onto YouTube back when we believed that YouTube is actually a platform for supposed free speech.
	And we would market these videos and educate the public.
	Fast forward 12 years later.
	We made additional content like the show that you were on, my show.
	We make a fireside chat where Dennis speaks weekly about issues of the day.
	And two years ago, we launched what we call PragerUKids, where we try to inoculate kids against the left-wing propaganda and the Marxist propaganda that is really laced in our education system and much of the media that is targeting young kids.
	So we actually make kids content.
	Content for four years old all the way to 104-year-olds.
	And you've had some big names on it who've had either appearances or shows.
	I'm trying to think of a few offhand.
	I mean, Candace Owens.
	You've had some of the biggest, you know, biggest intellectual minds of our era.
	Either speak or have shows on PragerU.
	Not to put you on the spot, can you name a few?
	Sure.
	I mean, we've had Jordan Peterson early on, Ben Shapiro.
	We've had, you know, we do invite people who don't agree with us on every single subject because I think that that's what we all need to do to really expand our intellectual bandwidth.
	We've had you on.
	We've had Dave Rubin on.
	We've had young people.
	We've had noble.
	Peace Prize winners and Pulitzer Prize winners.
	It really runs the gamut.
	We've had many professors on.
	We've had people who speak about the issue of climate.
	We've had people who speak about history.
	We've had Victor Davis Hanson on many, many times.
	So I'm sure your audience is familiar with many of the personalities that we've had present for us.
	And I'm sure many more of the people that have been on your show will end up coming and doing videos for us as well.
	Now, I discovered PragerU back in the early days when I was discovering YouTube's what I called chicanery.
	And a number of those videos are in my playlist for YouTube chicanery.
	Early on, you guys start getting screwed by YouTube in terms of monetization, visibility.
	I think some of your stuff was getting flagged for being anti-trans at the time.
	And you ended up suing YouTube.
	It didn't end, I don't think it ended the way anybody wanted it to, but could you fill us in on that?
	Yeah, so actually...
	PragerU is probably the first to really go out into the public and explain that censorship is real.
	I remember in 2016 receiving an email from From a student actually on campus saying, hey, yesterday I saw this PragerU video and suddenly now it's restricted or taken down.
	Where is that video?
	And so we contacted YouTube and said, you know, we've uploaded the video, but for some bizarre reason our audience actually can't find it.
	And very quickly we realized that they had categorized PragerU into the same category as pornography or hate speech.
	And so people could actually not access our videos.
	Built our entire platform originally on this promise that if we make great content, we would be able to send our audience to YouTube, right?
	There was this whole, you know, push to follow us on YouTube, right?
	And follow us on Facebook and build a like campaign.
	And so we did exactly that, except when they did not like the content that we made in a very capricious way.
	We never fully understood where the guardrails were, right?
	It was like make content.
	And if we kind of...
	If we don't like it, then we'll allow you to share it with your audience.
	And if we don't like it, we won't explain why.
	We will just remove it or censor it, right?
	And so when we realized that that was happening, we started complaining about it.
	Also sued them.
	And we believe that we had to win both the court of public opinion as well as the court of law.
	The problem is that YouTube has so much power and we had to sue in the Ninth District, in the Ninth Circuit.
	And, of course, everything was stacked against us.
	In California, people may know this already.
	They don't believe in freedom of speech.
	In 2016, it was so unbelievable to many that people argued with us and said that that's not possible.
	It's not possible that there would be conservative...
	Conservative viewpoint discrimination.
	And so that's how it all started.
	I'll add that the censorship was never only on YouTube.
	The issue with YouTube is that we caught them red-handed.
	They actually sent us an email admitting that they review our content manually, right?
	They have staff that actually reviews our content.
	This is not an algorithm.
	And based on the content that they view, they have decided that it should fall under restricted mode.
	That's why we sued.
	One question there.
	When you found out that there was actual staff reviewing it, did you get any idea or did you know where the staff were from, where they lived?
	Was it being outsourced to overseas or was this like staff in America reviewing it or did you not ever find that out?
	It's really hard to know.
	I mean, they admitted that it was their staff.
	I mean, the staff member or whatever the supervisor wrote back and said, yes, we've been reviewing it.
	And after reviewing it, we still decided it doesn't fit our guidelines.
	I don't know if it was from outside of the U.S. or not.
	What's crazy is I'm convinced that, I mean, it's not a radical thought.
	It's overseas.
	They have no understanding.
	Sometimes I think of language and they get like a checklist and you get literally diametrically opposing results depending on which entity reviews it.
	I've had entire streams be greenlighted and then...
	Sections be demonetized.
	And it makes literally just sections.
	And they say, well, maybe you use different keywords for search or a different title or a different thumbnail.
	But I mean, my goodness, the amount of times I've had an entire stream get re-monetized after manual review, but then highlights, unedited clips from the same stream remain demonetized.
	It means that there's, you know, and that's after manual review.
	It just, it means that there's people with wildly different interpretations of the rules.
	You sued in 2016, right?
	This is going back a fair bit.
	Yes.
	I mean, I'll add that we not only sued, but Dennis Prager, who is the founder of PragerU, did testify.
	There was a congressional hearing on this issue.
	And YouTube's attorneys defended their case, saying that our videos...
	Have, in fact, been reviewed and should, in fact, be either demonetized or censored.
	And so we're not talking about the possibility of some lower-level employees somewhere around the world looking at our content and deciding that it should be restricted.
	They actually stood by the decision that their staff made to actually censor our videos.
	Do you remember any specific example of a video that was censored because it was inappropriate for kids?
	I think I remember trans...
	Trans issues being one of the subject matter, but do you remember specifically?
	Yeah, I mean, many of the videos on Israel, like the Middle East problem.
	We have a video with Victor Davis Hanson who talked about the Vietnam War and the Korea War.
	They didn't like those videos.
	And, of course, the trans videos is what obsessed them.
	So we've done a video on fairness in sports and women in sports, and that was a video that got restricted.
	Virtually any video that we do on gender-affirming care gets restricted almost immediately.
	I guess they categorize it as hate speech.
	I mean, if we can go into that.
	Oh, no, we're going to it in a bit.
	But on any of the videos for gender-affirming care, have you had any of the proponents of it come on?
	And have you noticed any difference in the treatment of the video depending on the political angle of the video?
	Like, I don't know if you cover certain subjects from both sides.
	You get a controversial speaker on and you get one of the Boston children doctor to come I mean, we've seen the differential treatment in that when they upload the videos that have the opposing point of view, then they're not restricted.
	If you're talking about the YouTube platform in general, yes, our videos on this issue get restricted, and videos made by other organizations that push for the chemical castration and surgical castration of minors, for some bizarre reason, those videos do not get restricted.
	It's so crazy.
	I mean, I was talking yesterday, and the idea that everybody says they're protecting the children, even those who want to promote...
	I call it genital mutilation at this point in time.
	There's no way around it.
	It is mutilation.
	It's medically necessary mutilation.
	Oh my goodness.
	Okay, but that ended up ultimately, it was like several years in the making.
	It got tossed at the appellate level.
	Did you petition for cert or is it done and done for?
	You know, we did petition, but at this point, the...
	You know, Viva, the issues are so much bigger at this point than YouTube's censorship of our videos.
	We went down this rabbit hole, and let me just give you a warning.
	I'm going to say a word of an organization that will get you in trouble, and hopefully it's not going to deplatform you.
	Hold on, hold on.
	What organization?
	Let me guess.
	It can't be the ADL.
	I've said it many times.
	It can't be the SP.
	No, no.
	Okay, so I'm just going to give you one more warning.
	I went on our friend Dave Rubin's show.
	And I mentioned the name of this organization.
	Okay, now I know.
	Okay, I mentioned the name of this organization.
	And literally the following day, he got a threatening email from this organization.
	Hold on.
	And they started going after him.
	And so I know you're a fearless person.
	And I know you're going to be okay with me exposing them here on your show.
	But I will tell you that once I say their name, they will be coming after you.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	Is this the name, Marissa?
	Yes, it is NewsGuard.
	I said it.
	There it is.
	NewsGuard, NewsGuard, NewsGuard.
	Okay, so I'll continue what happened.
	So we went down this rabbit hole with YouTube.
	And I'd say a few months later, we...
	Received an email from JW Player.
	Now, JW Player, for those listening, I'll explain what they do.
	And so if you have a website and you want your videos hosted on your own website, you need to use a service, like a plug-in service for your website to host the videos.
	Maybe many are familiar with the Amazon video service hosting.
	And so JW Player, one day, out of the blue, sends us an email saying you have two months to get off our platform.
	We will not be renewing your contract.
	We don't want to work with you anymore.
	Our question is, why?
	I mean, we always pay on time.
	We pay a lot.
	We have a lot of videos.
	Why would you be kicking us off?
	The reason we're kicking you off is because we have heard from NewsGuard that you are basically a bad entity and we therefore can't be working with you.
	NewsGuard?
	Who the hell is NewsGuard?
	The kings of the internet have spoken against us?
	What does that even mean?
	So we started looking into NewsGuard and we realized that NewsGuard is this sneaky organization.
	That works behind the scenes.
	And they have anointed themselves as basically the arbiters of truth.
	The kings of the internet.
	They get to decide who is reporting on things fairly and who isn't.
	Who gets to speak and who doesn't get to speak.
	And once they give you this rating, once they decide whether you're a good guy or a bad guy...
	If you're a bad guy, they will try to go after you.
	And how do they go after you?
	They will basically put your name on some sort of hate list.
	That's what it is.
	It's a hate list.
	And they will tell different internet companies that you're one of the bad guys and nobody should do business with you.
	And so they'll inform Facebook.
	They'll inform JW Player.
	They'll inform anybody who is willing to hide behind this newsguard rating.
	And they will tell them...
	To run away from you as fast as possible and essentially suffocate you financially and isolate you so that nobody wants to do any business with you.
	And please ask me, who funds NewsGuard?
	I was actually trying to look it up so that I could be smart and tell you who funds NewsGuard.
	I know you know, but look smart for the crowd.
	Marissa, I mean, I want to take a guess.
	Is it the number one boogeyman of who we think funds all bad things?
	Well, let's start with those who have tortured our lives over the last few years.
	And so publicists, you all need to know about publicists.
	Publicists is one of the largest...
	I would say, communication enterprises in the world.
	They do PR, they manage communication and branding, and they do much of it for most of the pharmaceuticals out there.
	And so they gave the seed funding to NewsGuard.
	And so imagine this, right?
	We will put out a video that questions the efficacy of the vaccine.
	Why wouldn't NewsGuard come after us?
	Their original and biggest client, after all.
	Are the pharmaceuticals.
	And then if you keep going down the rabbit hole, and please do, because I want you to go and check every single thing I say.
	I want you to go and check so nobody can claim that I'm making this stuff up.
	It's so hard to believe that we live in the United States of America and we're experiencing this kind of censorship.
	And so if you want to call the pharmaceuticals the boogeyman, well, they are...
	One of the funders of NewsGuard, but it doesn't start there.
	They have relationships with the WEF.
	They have relationships with the EU.
	And they have received funding from the U.S. government as well.
	And so now we have a situation where the U.S. government is actually giving money to NewsGuard to slap labels on media companies that provide information to the public that they don't like.
	It's funny, I was literally talking with Dinesh D'Souza about Police State, his new documentary yesterday, and this is the perfect, not segue, but follow-up to that.
	I mean, this is basically what private enterprise is doing indirectly, what the government can't do directly, with the full corporate corruption of, what's the word, not special interests, but interests, monetary interests.
	Okay, so now, just to actually break it down.
	Pharma, and I just want to know how it works.
	So how does it work?
	The NewsGuard, it gets government funding fine, but the private seed funding, it's not a public organization, is it?
	No, it's a private organization.
	So they're actually making money off this censorship while doing all the bad stuff too.
	So it says, I mean, I'm just reading from Wikipedia because it's, okay, it says, its advisors include high-profile former officials such as Tom Ridge, former Homeland Security Secretary, Richard Stengel, former Undersecretary for State, Michael Hayden, former CIA Director General, Angers Fosch-Rasmussen, former NATO chief, as well as Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.
	Okay, interesting.
	Okay, sorry, so carry on, please.
	Alright, so let me give you another partner of NewsGuard.
	What was the nature of the threatening email that Rubin got after he mentioned NewsGuard on his show?
	You know, they actually did not mention me, the professional troublemaker.
	They, like, just randomly, out of nowhere, suddenly Dave Rubin gets questions about all kinds of things, such as, we noticed that at one point you reported this or that.
	How do you actually...
	Support this claim.
	And by the way, for anybody, I mean, I just want to prepare you because the likelihood of you getting these kinds of emails is actually very high now that I'm on, which is bizarre that I'm even a professional troublemaker because, I mean, really, what am I doing?
	Trying to educate the public and give them the choice to make their own decisions and make up their mind?
	But the way they do this is they won't send you an email saying, you must never say this again.
	They'll just send you a bunch of emails saying, Why did you say this?
	We have an article written by, you know, the New York Times that says that what you said is effectively questionable.
	How do you answer that?
	Because if you can't, I mean, if you answer, basically, if you go down the rabbit hole of trying to defend your case, they'll just throw more questions at you.
	Then there you go.
	It is in fact true that you're one of the bad guys, right?
	So you can't win.
	Now, I've seen Ruben, he often posts these, you know, the emails that he gets, can you answer a question on this?
	Are these journalists coming through NewsGuard or are these totally unrelated things that journalists contacting for stories different than something specifically coming from NewsGuard?
	So they have a staff.
	I mean, what they do is they hire a staff and I don't know, maybe they're a bunch of 20-year-olds that all day long just, you know, send threatening emails to You know what, Viva?
	I think this is really, at the end of the day, something that you've identified a while ago.
	And that is, this is a fight between legacy media and new emerging media.
	And so this is what they're trying to do.
	They call themselves News Guard.
	And I mean, this is exactly what they try to do.
	They try to guard the news.
	For a very long time, you had the legacy media institutions that essentially reported the same stuff.
	They protected the same people.
	And I'll admit, even on the right, both on the left and on the right, there was this consensus of what you could say and what you cannot say.
	And now with this era of the Internet and many of the independent journalists and people like you, there is a threat to...
	These legacy media institutions.
	And so if you look at the actual ratings that NewsGuard will put on, generally the ratings will favor left-wing.
	Enterprises.
	But if you actually pay attention, because there are some legacy media institutions on the right that have decent ratings, but the ones who they really hate are the ones that are new emerging ones that are not controlled.
	They're not controlled by the advertising dollars behind pharmaceuticals, and they're not controlled by the political elites who basically...
	Tell us what we are and what we're not allowed to say.
	I mean, I'm more familiar with NewsGuard than I'm indicating.
	Tim Pool talks about it a lot as well because they go after, like you say, it's a rating system where they penalize or blacklist or, you know, have targeted campaigns against people on unfabricated reasons.
	And I'll just bring one up from, this is relatively recent actually.
	This is from yesterday.
	Look at this.
	News Guard gave us a strike because we ran five stories out of nearly 5,000 that quoted Trump.
	They claimed that reporting on Trump's statements was irresponsible because we should be fact-checking him instead of Trump, and Trump was wrong.
	They now claim we don't correct errors because we didn't respond to their false claims last month.
	The, quote, nutrition label, end quote, they wrote contained so many errors they had to repeatedly correct it and have refused to correct additional false statements while claiming we don't correct errors despite doing so all the time.
	Meanwhile, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, who just put out, as far as I understand, a very, very inaccurate story a few days ago and more, ran fake stories about Gaza and get 100%.
	So it's a rating system.
	It's a social credit of sorts.
	And if you're in their bad books, you get...
	Downgraded, demoted, suppressed, censored, or effectively potentially boycotted as well.
	Yeah, exactly that.
	And, you know, I'm sure people who are listening to us are saying, like, who the hell cares what they have to say, right?
	Who the hell cares if they like us or not like us?
	Let's just ignore their rating, right?
	But I'll tell you where this becomes applicable to people like us.
	So PragerU makes educational entertainment, right?
	Edutainment.
	We want our content to be shared with students, with Employees.
	We want our content to be in classrooms.
	But what NewsGuard does behind the scenes is they create these partnerships.
	So they have a partnership with the largest Teachers union in the country.
	And what they basically do through this partnership is they say to the schools, we will make sure to monitor that no fake or bad information makes it into the schools.
	And so pay us, they're making money while doing this, pay us and we will make sure to tell the unions and to tell the teachers to...
	Not allow PragerU content to be in classrooms.
	We want to make sure that there is a filter on the students' browsers so that when they open their computers, they are not able to access PragerU material.
	This is how...
	This is how the propaganda actually works.
	We can create amazing content, but they are making it impossible for people to find our content.
	Now, of course, PragerU is still breaking through and we're still getting people to hear about it, but they're going to try to make it as difficult as possible.
	Well, I mean, it's an amazing thing.
	People assume a lot of these alternative news sources are...
	Smaller enterprises not reliant on advertising or monetization in the same way that the big ones are.
	But you imagine, like, cut off pharmaceutical advertising from Fox News.
	There would be no ads.
	Like, A, it would be great.
	I wouldn't have to wait five minutes of ads every time they go to break, but they would lose their revenue.
	These independent channels, which exist if only because, you know, they speak some truth and people like them and find them.
	If they can't find them, they lose all of that monetization on YouTube and they basically starve them out of existence.
	And it's a great way of controlling the narrative.
	So what's the status of your battle with NewsGuard now?
	And I mean, I guess it's now, as part of your troublemaking goes, you want to raise awareness in terms of letting people know who NewsGuard is and what they're doing.
	You know, I think there are a lot of business owners who don't realize the nefarious agenda behind NewsGuard.
	And so some of them are partnering with NewsGuard.
	I'm sure that some people who are very liberty-minded and all about...
	Are all about freedom, right?
	I am sure that many of them are partnering with NewsGuard, not realizing what they're doing.
	And so the number one thing I always say is public awareness.
	You know, I think as we enter into this era of not knowing what is true and what is false, right, with AI coming our way, we're going to have to do extra work in making sure that we know who we can trust and who we cannot trust.
	And NewsGuard is going to take advantage of that, right?
	They're going to show up and say, well, let us filter information for you.
	Let us tell you.
	Let us become your brain.
	Let us become your filter.
	And we need to resist that.
	We need to resist organizations like that.
	And so my number one cause right now is public awareness.
	Cause is to get parents out there to be aware of the fact that NewsGuard is targeting our children and that they're using the behemoth of the teachers' unions to do so, right?
	They want to make sure that the propaganda that they want to share within our classrooms Is filtered and crafted by them.
	And so this is a very serious warning for people out there who are sending their kids to schools, who are allowing their kids to go online, who are spending hours online on the internet.
	You should know.
	That content is being filtered, whether in legacy media or on social media channels.
	We're just going to have to do the extra work to make sure that we get the truth.
	NewsGuard issues ratings, right?
	In order to view a rating, you have to be a paid subscriber to NewsGuard, the service.
	Well, in order to see their ratings, yes, you do need to become a subscriber to NewsGuard, but in order for you to be rated by them, you just need to be a bit of a troublemaker.
	It's like Chief Wiggum.
	The law is useless to help you, but it's not useless to punish you.
	Yeah, it's amazing.
	I just because I'd love to know what respective ratings are.
	I know New York Times gets 100%, even though they've gotten so many stories wildly wrong.
	The amount of children hospitalized with COVID, the incident of the, do we know what happened yet?
	Is there definitive about the bombing of the hospital in Gaza?
	Do we know if it was the IDF?
	What?
	What's the latest on that as far as you understand?
	I mean, the latest, not as far as I understand, the latest as far as the truth goes, because on all sides except for, I guess, Hamas itself, which is a terrorist organization, they have confirmed that what in fact happened was that Hamas Put a rocket launcher in the parking lot of the hospital.
	They have a track record for always doing that.
	They use the poor Palestinian people as human shields and they know that as long as they put the rocket launchers In parking lots of hospitals or on roofs of hospitals or on schools, as long as that's where the rocket launcher comes and the rockets come out of there, it makes it a lot harder for the Israelis to attack back.
	And so what in fact happened was there was a rocket launcher that launched a rocket that didn't function and it exploded in the parking lot.
	And what happened immediately was...
	You know, the media, the press, everybody blamed Israel for supposedly targeting a hospital directly, which did not happen.
	What happened was that Hamas targeted its own hospital by accident.
	They aimed to target the Israelis and something went wrong and it exploded.
	I mean, thank God the numbers that they reported are a lie.
	Thank God not that many civilians actually were killed or injured.
	I think at first they said 800 people or 500 people.
	And now we're hearing that the numbers are much less than God.
	I'm trying to find the tweets where the New York Times initially ran a story.
	And when I say I'm not trying to be holier than thou in terms of play both sides, I don't know what to believe anymore.
	And my goodness, when it comes to things like this, I'm not going to immediately jump on a hyperbolic tweet condemning anybody.
	The amount of people who have discredited themselves by repeating not just what might be incorrect facts, but in a very judgmental way that can't be taken back at the end of the day.
	But initially, they said it was an Israeli JDAM.
	Israel said it was a misfired rocket.
	Was it a misfired out of the parking lot or was it misfired and landed in the parking lot?
	I mean, I think there was enough of an explosion.
	I did hear some reports that it was actually a bomb.
	But, you know, what happens is they have made many of these rockets out of the pipes that they were given to actually, you know, build infrastructure.
	And so some of the stuff just, you know, malfunctions because it's not exactly cutting edge technology.
	And I don't think they really care, right?
	What they care to do is as much damage as possible.
	Well, this is why when it comes to the strategy of Israel's response, I feel like it's not obvious that the course of action is the right one because real crisis will be weaponized and, you know, the Internet moves faster than the truth.
	And so you have massive outrage that will not be erased anytime soon, assuming that the latest details, which, you know, America confirms that it was not a Hamas, but a PIJ, a Palestinian Intifada bomb that went off.
	Oh, man.
	But no, no.
	So the New York Times, they'll suffer no consequences from NewsGuard because they're all in bed together and that's it.
	So what is like the strategy now?
	Raise awareness about NewsGuard.
	What are you doing from a business perspective at PragerU to counter what they're doing to you from the business perspective?
	Yeah, I mean, just so we can dump on the New York Times for one more moment.
	We can do that all day long.
	Okay.
	Let me just add some more color to this because, you know, maybe people are...
	Puzzled by what is happening currently in the Middle East.
	And so, you know, maybe they're like, oh, well, the New York Times doesn't really know what to do.
	Okay, fine.
	How about we go back in history?
	There is actually a book that I highly recommend.
	The Grey Lady Winks.
	The Grey Lady Winks, Ashley Rinsberg.
	The amount of times that the paper of record has lied to us.
	Is so unbelievable that people need to understand that it's very possible that the New York Times is more likely to lie to us than to actually tell us the truth.
	And people need to know that, right?
	You know that the New York Times, if you read the book, then you know this.
	They never reported about the Holocaust.
	They lied.
	They lied to the American people about what happened in Ukraine and Holodomor, the great starvation under Stalin.
	They lied about so many things time and time again.
	Why would you even believe them about this issue?
	And again, I'll say, they didn't get it wrong.
	They knew that it was wrong when they were saying it.
	So it's a difference between getting it wrong and lying.
	The Holodomor downplaying the Nazis because of business relations, downplaying the Soviet atrocities because of...
	I don't know, political ideology.
	They got it wrong or they downplayed the nefarious effects of the atomic bomb because the US government wanted to continue testing it.
	If people knew how bad it was, they'd have trouble.
	They got it wrong on Vietnam.
	They got it wrong on, I don't know if it was the first first Intifada, but the killing of that young Palestinian boy, which led to massive amounts of violence.
	They got, obviously, Russiagate wrong, and they got a number of other things wrong.
	But didn't get it wrong.
	They knew it was wrong when they published it.
	That's why I say it's not about them getting it wrong.
	They purposefully lied.
	They purposefully lied and they were actually hired to lie because they were basically told, as long as you publish the stories that we like, we will give you extra access and protection.
	So, I mean, if anybody doesn't know what Project Mockingbird is, I mean, they were being used as a tool and now they just do it willingly because at this point in time, ideology trumps truth, pun intended.
	Okay, well, we can dump on the...
	Everybody should read.
	I had Ashley Rinsberg on the channel.
	We talked about the book.
	It's amazing.
	Everyone should read it.
	It's a short read.
	I listened to it.
	It took three and a half, four hours.
	So it's also a good segue to one of the projects that they created, which is the 1619 Education Project.
	I don't know if you want to get into that, but this is part of what we're fighting here at PragerU.
	Please do and explain to everybody.
	Okay, let me grab something right here from my desk.
	Okay, so some of you may have seen books like this in your kids' schools, libraries, or classrooms.
	And this is a probably, I would say, what a kindergarten kind of level book, literacy book, basically published by the 1619 Project.
	So I'll give you a little bit of an explanation of what the 1619 Project was.
	Their claim, the New York Times basically created an educational...
	Tool to fight against the institutional racism in America.
	And their point is that students need to be taught that the entire existence in America needs to be viewed through the lens of anti-racism.
	And so whether you're learning math or literacy, you have to think like an anti-racist in order to break down this Racism that is supposedly in America's DNA.
	And they were pushing for this very, very aggressively over the last few years.
	And so they have made it into classrooms because they've been doing teacher trainings.
	They've been providing colorful, beautiful books like this and curriculum.
	I've actually come across several lessons in math that actually teaches students supposedly math, but they're actually learning how to calculate the amount of reparations that, for example, Californians Own.
	The Californians owe people of color.
	I'll just read the first line from Wikipedia.
	You know it's bad when Wikipedia describes it as, The 1619 Project is a long-form journalism endeavor developed by Nicola Hanna Jones, writers from the New York Times and the New York Times Magazine.
	It focused on subjects of slavery and the founding of the United States.
	Oh, and then it goes on.
	So New York Times, they've lied to you throughout their history.
	They're telling me the truth now.
	Okay.
	Right.
	And so first they lied to us throughout our history.
	Now they're creating school curriculum for your students.
	To make sure that the indoctrination starts cradle all the way through the grave.
	And sometimes you won't even know about it because you'll be sending your kids to a private school or a public school and you don't actually see it overtly in a curriculum.
	You don't actually see, okay, hello, let me meet with the head of the school and the teacher.
	Please tell me what you'll be teaching this year.
	No teacher will probably tell you that they're going to be teaching the 1619 Project, but what happens is it actually sneaks into the content through this supplementary educational content.
	What do I mean by that?
	Well, you know, Viva, would you like your children to learn literacy this year?
	I would.
	Of course!
	I would love that.
	My kids to learn literacy.
	OK, great, because we are going to bring graphic novels and we're going to bring all kinds of interesting what we call generative education.
	Generative education is the type of stuff that.
	They would call not boring, right?
	You want to start with an interesting classroom discussion about current events in order to generate the interest of a child, right?
	And so they'll say something like, okay, well, we're going to learn today about math and we're going to actually learn how to calculate distance.
	Well, how far do you live from the next expensive theme park, right?
	Let's say you live in Orlando.
	How far do you live from Disney?
	Well, I live this distance, that distance.
	Okay, well, we're going to figure out how to calculate distances.
	But before we get into this, Viva Junior, before we get into this, how many of you have been with your family to a theme park?
	Do you know it's pretty expensive and most families can't afford it?
	Which type of people are less likely going to be able to afford it, in your opinion?
	You realize that people of color are less likely to be able to go to the Disney theme parks.
	And that's how they generate these discussions.
	With parents not even realizing because you think that your kids are just learning math and how to calculate distances.
	And I can show you, I mean, my team and I have been studying these generative lesson plans for the last two years because we've just been horrified about how is it that even in red states, they're learning this kind of garbage.
	I want to show you another example of that.
	The irony is they call it generative when it's actually degenerative.
	Degenerative, totally.
	Okay, here's another example if you want.
	Oh yeah, please don't go for it.
	I'll just say also, in Canada, I noticed this.
	The questions that they ask, they are all ideologically, politically driven, politically motivated exam questions.
	I can't remember offhand.
	My daughter's best friend's mother from Montreal sent me the reading list.
	I mean, it's just...
	Egregious.
	And if I were inclined to embarrass schools and embarrass teachers, I would show the questions from the exams, but that's not my type of journalism.
	But yeah, it's not just in America if it makes anybody feel any better.
	It's only in the West.
	Right.
	I mean, I think the West might be the only group of people that is teaching its own children to hate its own.
	People, right?
	In America, we are actually literally teaching Americans to hate their own country.
	So what I like to do is actually show what I call the supplementary curriculum, these generative educational pieces.
	At the same time that I show the agenda of the NEA, which is one of the largest teacher unions in America, so the NEA has about 2 million members, and if you read through their agenda from 2022, I want to let you guess, because this is actually quite current, what do you think is the number one issue from 2022?
	That the NEA put for their teachers to discuss.
	And I'm going to give you two hints.
	Nothing to do with literacy.
	Gender ideology.
	And nothing to do with math.
	Well, then it's going to be racial equity.
	Okay.
	I'm going to read.
	NEA will use existing digital communications tools to educate members and the general public about the history, culture, and struggles of Palestinians.
	This predates the current conflict.
	This didn't come out in response.
	This is from July 2, 2022.
	They have been steaming up American students and building up this kind of propaganda.
	On campuses, and I'm not just talking about college campuses.
	I am talking about kindergarten through 12th grade campuses for years and years.
	And so we're not just teaching young Americans to hate America.
	We're not just teaching young Americans to create a racial division, a racist racial division where whites and blacks...
	No longer see each other through our character, but through our skin color, right?
	This type of stuff has been infesting our schools for years.
	And so when you're seeing the high school walkouts right now over the issue in the Middle East, or you're seeing the type of really violence, actual physical violence on campuses across the United States and in Canada as well, when you're seeing that, You should not be surprised that these battles have not started yesterday.
	They have started creating these, I mean, I guess you would call it almost like cells, right?
	Our own children, our own students have been infested with these kinds of ideologies.
	For years, now we're just seeing the explosive product of it, right?
	Of what I call this steaming up of these generative lesson plans.
	And you are right that in this document, in this NEA agenda, you can find additional issues that they've taken on.
	And I would say maybe 10% of it has to do with the LGBTQA+.
	Plus, plus, plus gender ideology.
	And it is why I like to show both this and the actual books at the same time, because you have to be able to draw the line of where this is coming from.
	In Canada, it's now the 2SLGBTQIA+.
	2SLGBTQIA+.
	Two-spirit, lesbian, bi, gay, trans, 2SLGBTQIA +, queer, intersex, asexual, and then the plus, which is...
	It might include something that they don't necessarily want to include, but it might be there on its way.
	Oh my God.
	It's nuts.
	So all of the doom aside, the good news is PragerU has been, I don't know what the word is, recognized, accredited for educational purposes?
	Yeah, I mean, we have decided to show up in the biggest way possible.
	And so our goal is to help parents and teachers inoculate their kids.
	I mean, you mentioned teachers.
	We don't need to attack teachers.
	There are a lot of great teachers out there.
	But many of them either don't know that what they're doing is brainwashing their kids with really a political agenda, or they don't know what to do.
	They're given content and they're feeling pressured and they don't have an alternative.
	And so what we decided to do as fast as possible is to provide an alternative.
	Like, look, if there's something that I'm obsessed with is freedom.
	I am in love with freedom.
	So I don't believe that any teacher, school or school district or even state should be forced to use any particular vendor.
	But what I do believe is that...
	Vendors that teach the type of stuff that we want our kids to learn, love America, wait before they chemically and physically castrate themselves for adulthood.
	All of those things should not be happening in our schools.
	We have to offer an alternative for these schools, something good to use.
	And so we have started producing those products.
	If you have a four-year-old, we have a show called Otto's Tales.
	If you have a fifth grader and you want them to be the smartest kid at the next dinner party, you can have them watch either Leo and Layla, which is a history show, or our financial literacy show.
	Why not teach our kids what a bank is, what an inflation is, and how to balance a checkbook and how to manage their money?
	We have started making all of this content.
	And because we're a 501c3, because we're a non-profit, All of our content is completely free.
	I mean, we are just so blessed that for us, ROI means return on influence.
	We just want to be able to share the content so that when I raise my kids, I raise them with good content, but I also raise them in a society where people have not lost their mind.
	And so maybe somehow I'm doing this selfishly, but I just believe that through education...
	And the education of our children and their entire community, we need to fight back against this real onslaught against our children.
	And so we make shows, we make magazines, and we make books to replace these kinds of books, which Scholastic gives awards to.
	This one is Melissa.
	Melissa was born George.
	Melissa then identified as a boy.
	And if you can see the type of text in this book.
	This kind of literacy level is for fourth and fifth grade, and so they're brainwashing our children that they should choose their gender.
	We want this garbage out, and so we're providing an alternative.
	I'm asking my friend if she can send me the book curriculum, because I want to read it, actually, now that...
	Okay, boom.
	Okay, now, this was not going to be...
	This was not the intended purpose, but now, actually, where can people go to support, and how can they?
	I was at at least one event.
	The one where Matt Walsh was, it was at, apparently I'm an idiot for not knowing what it was, but the golf place in Palm Beach.
	In Palm Beach, yeah.
	It was, I mean, first of all, it's super cool.
	It was super amazing and the food was delicious.
	But how can people support if they want to support PragerU?
	Yeah, so we are a non-profit and people can make a donation to keep our content free and to help save America's minds by going to PragerU.com and donating whatever they can.
	I mean, we really exist entirely from donations.
	Our average gift is close to around $100.
	And so we are really not funded by massive major donors, contrary to what the left claims.
	We are really funded by the public.
	We have over $300,000.
	Donors that support us.
	So that's one way that you can support us.
	And the other way to support us is to help demand that there is an even playing field in your kids' schools.
	And so whether you want to call your superintendent or your state superintendent or school commissioner and say, why do you have Scholastic?
	Why do you have BrainPop?
	And you don't have PragerU.
	I want to see PragerU in the schools as well.
	We have partnered with Florida.
	Florida has made PragerU an approved educational vendor.
	If you want to have a little bit of fun over the weekend, you should read what the New York Times had to say about that or the Boston Globe or Vanity Fair or any of the 553 leftist media companies that tried to attack us.
	But at the end of the day, we believe in choice.
	And we also believe in something super important for parents listening to this.
	We believe that as a parent...
	It is your duty and your right to be involved in your child's education.
	And you are smarter than probably any teacher out there and you love your child probably than any teacher out there.
	And so this idea that you should not know or be involved in what your kids are learning is an absolute farce and lie.
	Every piece of content that PragerU makes when you go to PragerU.com Every piece of content that we make that we give to a school that partners with us is available to you as a parent to look at, not only to watch again with your child and check for understanding and make sure that they're actually learning it, but for you to actually see what is going on.
	Ask yourself why, with today's technology, we can't give parents a window into a classroom.
	Why is that?
	And so this is where I mean professional troublemaker in the best way possible.
	There should be accountability in our schools.
	And parents should be aware of what their kids are learning.
	And they should have a say in it, frankly.
	And so that is the type of content that we make.
	Go to your schools and say, I want to see PragerU content in the libraries.
	I want to see PragerU.
	Content in the classroom because I know that I can then go home and I can go and access it.
	We partnered with Oklahoma.
	We partnered with someone in the state of Texas.
	We partnered with Montana.
	We had a really exciting partnership this past summer with New Hampshire where high school students Can actually get high school credit for finishing our financial literacy module.
	This actually means that New Hampshire, you know, they want their students to be financially literate.
	And so go ahead and encourage wherever you live, encourage the schools to allow our content to get in there.
	Again, we don't want it forced, but we believe that if we make great stuff, we can win on our own merit and people will just go and advocate for the content that we make.
	Amazing.
	Marissa, I didn't put the link in yet, but I'll put the link in the pinned comment when the stream is done and processing.
	Anything else you want to mention?
	Ordinarily, I'd end the stream with you, but I'm going to carry on for a few minutes, read some Rumble Rants, and then go over to Locals afterwards.
	But is there anything I did not ask you that you absolutely wanted to mention?
	I just want to say thank you so much.
	I am so proud of independent journalists out there.
	I mean, this is your time.
	This is your moment.
	We need you guys.
	And, you know, I think the people that are listening to you, they totally get it.
	They get it.
	They don't want to be lied to and manipulated anymore.
	So I just want to give a shout out to everybody and just express extreme gratitude.
	You know, it takes a few to win against evil and you're one of those who are fighting.
	And so I'm just proud to be your friend and I'm grateful.
	Well, thank you very much for everything.
	Thank you for those kind words and thank you for coming on.
	And I say thank you for everything you're doing.
	I've now known of PragerU since 2016.
	Didn't understand why they were deemed to be controversial back then.
	And now I understand it.
	It's the truth is controversial.
	Sanity is controversial.
	And stating the obvious in times of madness is controversial.
	So, Marissa, thank you very much for coming on.
	Thank you, Lina.
	All right.
	Have a good day.
	Good weekend.
	Children?
	Children.
	My kid came in here and threw me a thing of toilet paper because the dog has made a mess on the floor.
	I knew I could see it happening and my wife was not here to take her out.
	Oh, I'll clean that up in a bit.
	Children.
	Everybody, what I wanted to say is I'm going to read some of the rumble rants that I have not yet read that I noticed up in the backdrop.
	Bring him up.
	It says, entry required.
	Wow, Marissa is doing a great job and obviously has the implicit trust of Dennis Prager, Mr. Entry Required.
	And then Entry Required says, oh my goodness, the Ninth Circuit Circus Court.
	And then we got P. Moyer says, of course, Honest A. Blinken is more in charge than Biden.
	We might be more in charge than Biden.
	Sefer Dean Squibb says, what a lovely woman, smart woman.
	Amazing, by the way.
	I've met her a couple of times, but went to L.A. for that interview.
	Amazing.
	But it takes...
	Not spiritual callous, because that means that you've been desensitized to the morality of the world.
	It takes thick skin to do what she's doing.
	I know how NewsGuard works.
	Not smaller, but when you don't have the infrastructure that requires certain types of...
	Advertising certain types of stuff.
	You have a little bit more freedom, but of course you also have a little bit more limitation.
	You want to get big and you want to compete with the Fox News' out there, and you want to do it without having to become beholden to the Pfizer advertising dollars.
	Man, when they come out there and slap you with the label, News Guard, as they've done with Tim Pool, it hurts, and it hurts, and that's why you've got to come up with alternative means of support.
	What do they call it?
	What did Bongino call it?
	He calls it the...
	Parallel economy, which was supposed to be the other, the CEO of Public Square was supposed to be on today, but we're going to bump that to next week.
	Creating a parallel economy, a network of businesses who are freedom-oriented so that you can know that you're supporting products and companies that are not out there to destroy the fabric of the society that you value and cherish.
	Now, with that said, everybody, look up the ClimateGate emails.
	It's clear it's all about the agenda, but I bet you can't find it online anymore.
	That's from Slidey Pie.
	We've got 3,500 people watching and 400 thumbs up.
	It doesn't change anything, but if you were so inclined, hit the thumbs up before we go on to take this stream to the locals portion.
	Viva Barnes Law!
	I saw an insult, I think.
	Let me see something I saw here directed at Tim Pool.
	Oh, yeah, Tim Pool uses a news guard.
	That is from Calamity Sue.
	He uses news guard.
	You got to use the tools that are necessary to reach as many people as possible.
	Like people say, shut everything off of YouTube.
	That's a silly thing to do because you're just shooting yourself in the foot, cutting off your own nose to spite your face.
	And it's antithetical to your mission and counterproductive to your purpose.
	Like, why would you do it?
	I mean, it's one thing to compromise your truth in order to remain on the platform.
	That's bad.
	Using the platform to spread as much of your truth as possible and to redirect to where the truth is not shunned, not frowned upon, that's good.
	I feel like the old guy in The Simpsons.
	Sorbitol, that's bad.
	Ice cream is good.
	So that's it.
	PragerU is on Rumble, and you got the link there, PragerU, the letter U. And, okay, that's it.
	Let me see.
	Do I have anything left in the backdrop that I didn't get to?
	Let me just make sure that I don't have any bookmarks of stories that were left over.
	There was one.
	There was one.
	What is this?
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We'll end on a joke.
	We'll end on something that will make you laugh.
	I need to get the video before I do it because...
	Not window, Chrome tab?
	See, I got blocked by the person within...
	Within two minutes of the tweet, I'm not going to be able to do it.
	I got blocked by the person.
	Let me see here.
	If I do this, X, it's on X. I've got the video.
	No, I don't.
	Darn it.
	Well, I can't get the video because I've been blocked by the person.
	And this is the thread.
	This person from the NDP is giving a speech on legislation that she's implementing or proposing.
	Talking about clean air.
	And how, what's the word, circulation is important.
	You want to make sure that the CO2 levels don't exceed certain thresholds.
	It's not a joke.
	These are the politicians and the buffoons in the backdrop.
	I've got no problem with anyone wearing a mask if they're genuinely scared.
	I've got a problem when politics turns into a grotesque performance art.
	What the flying, sweet, merciful, whatever this is.
	What is that?
	Look at this thing.
	It's not even a mat.
	Look at this guy.
	This guy looks like he's being held hostage.
	Talking about CO2 levels.
	And I say it's become a grotesque performance art.
	Within two seconds of that commentary, what do you think happened?
	Oh, you know what happened.
	It's a politician who blocked me.
	No, you don't know what happened because that's not the right...
	That ain't the right one.
	I got blocked.
	You knew what happened.
	Darn it.
	Whatever.
	I got blocked.
	Within five seconds.
	All right.
	Well, that was the ending on a laugh.
	The world has gone crazy.
	So what we're going to do here, I'm going to give you the link to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Actually, hold on.
	Before we do that, if anybody wants to support the channel, vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Seven bucks a month, $70 a year discounted rate if you want to support the work that I do.
	That we do, Robert and I. And you don't even have to become a supporter.
	You can be one of the 120,000 members who get tons of content totally for free on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Or you could be a supporter that supports the work that we do so that I would never go begging Pfizer regardless.
	Or another way that you could support, if you go to the merch store and you want some cool merch wanted for president, it is...
	I'll show you mine afterwards.
	Then you got some standard and non-political stuff.
	And you can see all of the merch at VivaFry.
	Look how cool that is.
	Know the vlog.
	VivaFry.
	Live free.
	All that other beautiful stuff.
	Taxation isn't theft.
	It's armed robbery.
	I thought that one up myself, people.
	And just so you can actually see how good the mugshot is.
	It's beautiful.
	All right.
	So with that said, everybody, I got...
	If you knew what the office smelled like right now, you might have some sympathy.
	Don't.
	Move into the poopers.
	So that's that.
	And we're going over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	What's left?
	It's Friday.
	So the next thing...
	Oh!
	Oh!
	I almost forgot to tell everybody!
	Sunday night.
	The man Alex Jones is coming on our show after he finishes his show.
	It's going to be about an hour that he's going to be able to give us.
	After...
	His show.
	So we're going to do the standard Sunday show.
	Starts at 6. Jones is going to come on, give or take 7.15.
	And it's going to be a rowdy one hour.
	And we'll see if he stays longer.
	I'm predicting he will, but it's been confirmed.
	So Jones is coming on.
	A special guest appearance on our Sunday show.
	And it's going to be amazing.
	Entry card says, you still do not have merch in adult sizes that will fit me.
	Well, I'm going to go ahead and make sure about that.
	So Sunday night is going to be amazing.
	But now come on over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com and we're going to have the after party.
	Thank you all for being here.
	If you don't make it to Viva Barnes Law, see you Sunday night.
	Enjoy the weekend.
	Snip, clip, share away.
	You know what to do.
	And that's it.
	Get outside.
	Exercise.
	Health.
	Eat well.
	Get your vegetables in.
	Get your field of greens in.
	Sunlight.
	All that jazz.
	See you all Sunday.
	Except those who are watching on Locals right now.
