	It's still morning, at least in the East Coast.
	It's evening in Europe and very early in the West Coast.
	Viva Fry, live from the local studio again, because it's day three, not day three, it's the third RNC debate today, if anybody still cares about the RNC debate, because it's hilarious that Trump is doing the ultimate troll by going live.
	One hour before this debate is going to go live on...
	Who's covering it today?
	Well, we'll get to our guest who happens to be here the same morning.
	I'm covering it tonight because I still care about the debate.
	It's going to be another gong show, I think, like the second debate, where you have at least, we've narrowed it down to five candidates tonight.
	There's three moderators.
	I don't know why this seems more like a battle royale than a debate.
	I'll get to all of that after.
	So I'm going to be covering it tonight.
	Come down to Miami, by the way, everybody.
	What?
	Two hours?
	Two hours!
	I can do the drive in 49 minutes or 45 minutes on a day where there's no traffic.
	Two hours.
	It was two hours well spent.
	I listened to Barnes' Bourbon with Barnes from last night on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	I've got some questions, which I'm going to ask my guest, Matt Kors, when we get there in a second.
	I listened to some Robert Gouveia covering all of the Trump trials, which I'm going to talk about in a bit.
	And after we go over the markets with my guest Matt Kors this morning, I'm going to get into some of the other stuff that's been on my mind.
	Some amazing stuff.
	It's going to be a 90 minutes of jumping from one subject to the next, but we're going to talk about a topless angeron.
	I'm trying to make it go viral.
	What is it?
	It's called the Bonus Torso Photo.
	Hashtag Bonus Torso Photo.
	We're going to get there in a bit.
	We're going to talk about FBI recruiting.
	At Pride events, not that there's anything wrong with any of that, I'll just explain what's wrong about recruiting from ideologically motivated activist organizations, whatever they might be.
	We're going to talk about the manifesto, Stephen Crowder, the censorship, the, um, what is it, the National Police Department response, the back and forth between Crowder, Boring from the Daily Wire, and my take on that.
	What else?
	Oh yes, just a top military official aide in Ukraine.
	They don't know if it's an assassination or an accident of a, what do they call it, a military-grade grenade gifted to him, which someone pulled the pin on, leading to his death and the severe injury of his kid.
	We'll get there as well, because it was initially reported as an assassination, and then the New York Times, who can always be trusted to get things right in times of crisis, reports that it was just an unfortunate accident.
	Someone gifted this guy five live military grenades, and this kid was going to pull one of the pins, and he grabbed it, pulled the pin, and boom, gone.
	Okay, we'll get to all of that in a bit.
	But first, Matt, we seem to be doing the morning show of these events, and so we run into each other.
	We say, well, while we're here, let's talk about the markets before we even get there.
	If you're new to the channel, Viva Frye, David Frye, Montreal litigator turned Florida rumbler.
	I'm a lawyer by trade, despite what I look like.
	I had 12, 13 years of active practice, and I do political legal commentary.
	We've got, I think, one of the best communities out there in Locals.
	It's called VivaBarnesLaw.Locals.com, where everyone is above average.
	That's what I do, but you all know that.
	You may or may not know Matt Kors, so Matt, I'm going to allow you to introduce yourself to whichever camera.
	Sounds good.
	My name is Matt Kors.
	Happy content creator on both Rumble and Locals.
	I, myself, come a little bit more from the finance, econ background.
	Basically, that's a fancy way to say I'm a degenerate gambler in the market.
	That's what I tell you guys.
	The first thing is what I tell my mom that I do just to stay above board.
	But yeah, no, as Viva was referring to, whenever it comes to these GOP debates, I feel like it is the mornings with Viva and Matt.
	So I get to get the legal update of everything going on in the world of And he gets to get the market update.
	So, hey, I think we're going to have a powerhouse of a show.
	It's going to be fantastic.
	We do the intro every time, for those who don't know.
	Matt was actively involved in, what do we call it?
	The Squeeze, GameStop, AMC.
	And you were in the documentary, Eat the Rich.
	Yeah.
	And for those who don't know, I like to not rub salt in the wood.
	Just remind everyone, you left a lot of money on the table with that.
	You made some, but you left a lot on the table.
	For anybody who thinks he's one of the greedy bastards that told everyone to hold, hold, hold, and sold when it was high.
	I wish.
	In fact, I could probably buy a house here in Miami if I actually sold at the top.
	But yeah, no.
	Money's fake.
	Sorry.
	And I probably shouldn't bring that up every time we meet, but I will.
	So you do your show.
	You did your show in the morning.
	You cover the markets.
	I mean, for anybody who's interested, it's not that I'm not interested in the market.
	I no longer look at it.
	I've got somebody who manages whatever RSP I have left.
	I found that I obsess over everything, and that was an unhealthy obsession where you watch things go up and down.
	Unhealthy, but for those who are interested, what are the trends?
	And I've got a question that stems from the bourbon with Barnes from last night, which I'll get to in a bit.
	What are the trends that might interest?
	Those who tuned in for lost stuff but might be interested in market stuff.
	Alright, first of all, before we get into the trends, your idea of not checking the market, that's actually statistically superior.
	Fidelity did a big, big study of everyone, of their customers.
	The best performing accounts at Fidelity are people who are dead.
	As in, cannot check their accounts.
	So people who just...
	Dead.
	Okay, I thought you said in-dead.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	People who have passed away literally can no longer check their accounts are the best-performing accounts at Fidelity.
	So if you think the way to get ahead is to actively trade in and out, most people who are active traders, 90% to 95% end up worse than when they started.
	So the people who are successful are massively successful.
	But it's hard to be within that cohort.
	And in terms of recent trends, past week, week and a half, market's been very, very green.
	And that's just because the Federal Reserve, for those of you, it's never taught, and this is one of the most frustrating things.
	But in the U.S. education system, I don't know if this is how it is in Canada.
	They don't teach us about monetary policy, the Federal Reserve, central banks, whatsoever.
	They'll tell us that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but that typically doesn't make people money.
	So anyway, the Federal Reserve, they control the money supply.
	They decide if interest rates go up, down, they have a big impact on unemployment.
	During the period when we were all locked at home, they were like drunken sailors.
	They just print, print, print.
	They literally went to their computer and made trillions of dollars out of thin air.
	At one point in time, we were up to 8.9 trillion in the US of funny money.
	Just completely made it up.
	There's an irony about the Federal Reserve in that it's neither federal nor reserve.
	What is, I know we've talked about it and answered.
	the question of what is the federal reserve it's not a government entity no no no what is it so it's a central bank as in they are i guess uh what would be the right word they basically of the illuminati of our money control here in the u.s i looked into the history of it it's kind of funny when u.s was being built Hundreds of years ago, they didn't even try to go for a central bank because so many people remembered what it meant in Europe.
	So they had to wait a couple generations for it to not be taught, for people to forget about it.
	And then they did a classic, I believe it was Christmas Eve, a classic midnight Christmas Eve vote to get it approved.
	And someone fact-checked me on this.
	I believe it was under Eisenhower, but they control it.
	And then from there, things got more wild and like the 1970s taking off the gold standard.
	It's fiat.
	As much as people like to say, Crypto's based on nothing or stocks are based on nothing.
	So is the U.S. dollar.
	Everything that does or doesn't have value, it's just faith that it does have value.
	Everything, whether it's a painting on your wall, a random NFT you might have saved on your phone, or a pet rock, everything has value, including our currency, just because other people think it has value.
	Now that you mention it, I did buy one of those Trump NFTs that I haven't checked on in a while.
	Maybe I'm worth more than I think I am.
	Percentage-wise?
	Trump NFTs actually have one of the highest gains.
	I feel like it's actually crazy.
	I haven't figured out how to even access it to sell.
	I know I have it.
	I bought it.
	I have an email that links me to it, but I don't know how to do anything with it.
	Treat it like a Fidelity account.
	Just don't look at it.
	Just out of sight, out of mind.
	I know what's going to happen.
	It's going to be worth $10,000 one day and I'm not going to be able to access the account anymore.
	It happens.
	Federal Reserve.
	Okay, so, well, I guess my question, I'm just going to bring it right back to Bidenomics at one point, because that term has come up, that term keeps coming up now.
	From what I understand from the political analysis of it, Bidenomics has been an abject failure in as much as anyone even understands what it means.
	I don't know what it means.
	I know it has a negative connotation.
	People are questioning why Biden is even mentioning it as a platform since A, nobody knows what it means and B, it's not doing quite as well as he says it is.
	What is it and what's its interplay with the open market?
	What it is, in my opinion, and also according to the White House's official website, is a bunch of fancy words put together.
	Like, hey, we're building the middle class out.
	Everyone deserves it.
	We're all doing better.
	That type of a thing.
	Nothing really too quantitative, at least in my assertion of it.
	And even examples of that, of the Inflation Reduction Act.
	It's a great name, but...
	Everyone agrees that has nothing to do with inflation.
	The people who support them, the people who don't support them, just economists from various colleges are saying, oh, it literally has no impact on inflation, so why are we calling it?
	It's another thing wrapped up in pretty words that actually doesn't mean anything.
	Well, except now they're going to say the inflation is down from its historical high, so the Inflation Reduction Act must have reduced inflation because correlation necessarily equals causation.
	But even with that, once again, of why our education system needs to improve, just so everyone knows, inflation is higher than where we should be, 2%.
	We're right now clocking in in the mid-threes here in the U.S., which is higher than expected.
	But June of last year, we were actually at 9%.
	So we are tracking the right way, but we're still burning hotter than we should be.
	How has it come down?
	Because of the Fed, the central bank.
	What have they done?
	They've destroyed demand by jacking up the rates.
	But hold on a second.
	Tell me if I'm wrong on this.
	We were at 9% last June.
	Yeah.
	We're at 3% now, but that 3% is on the 9%.
	Well, even more in that.
	Yeah, it's actually worse because it's always adding up.
	That's 3%, which is a lower number, of a bigger figure because we're already at a higher baseline.
	And that's assuming that I even believe those numbers, which I don't, because my understanding is they've tinkered with the way they measure inflation by saying, well, people aren't eating steak anymore, so in that basket of foods that we use to determine inflation, we're swapping the meat for chicken, we're swapping the fruits for onions, I don't know, whatever.
	So my understanding is even that inflation, assuming we believe it, still is bad.
	But it's wrong to begin with.
	It's very well accepted that they could push that number a little higher, a little lower, just to make it seem worse or better.
	It's not fair.
	And they're always changing out the baskets.
	You're spot on with that.
	And yeah, when I say nine of last year, it's not like we're better off now because it's always been increasing.
	It's just the rate at which it's increasing.
	And this comes back to our economy.
	And once again, I guess I'll harp on it for this talk.
	It's just things we're never taught.
	The way the U.S. system is made is all money is loaned into existence.
	By the Federal Reserve.
	Whenever you loan anything to existence, it's always a forever expanding credit system.
	So when I hear these things of like, oh, our debt's at like, whatever, many, many trillions, we're going to hit 50 trillion by 2030.
	That was built by design.
	The goal, you don't ever want deflation because it increases what's referred to as counterparty risk.
	And that's a fancy, fancy way of basically saying people who owe debt, if we get into a deflation situation, they're not going to pay their debt off.
	The whole goal is for our dollar to always become devalued.
	That is how the system is built by design.
	So when we hear these crazy, crazy graphs of like, oh, this is like what $5 could have bought you back like five decades ago or 100 years ago.
	That's how our economy is intentionally built, because the Fed is always loaning money into existence.
	As supply goes up, value has to go down if demand stays the same.
	It's interesting just to try to put a value on fiat currency.
	Is gold a good thing to be looking at these days?
	So gold's historically thought to be a store of value, and that's kind of interesting because...
	We now think of this gold as a finite supply.
	Earth has...
	A certain amount of gold, and if we extract it all, it's not going to go above or below that.
	Gets a little interesting now for people who go down the rabbit hole, like, well, hang on, is that going to get messed up?
	Because if we get into space exploration, are we going to find a whole new supply of gold?
	So feel free to look into that.
	There is a planet that's apparently all diamonds.
	A 70% diamond, but it's several thousand light years away.
	So there are those things to consider.
	But honestly...
	Talking about a finite supply, that's why people like Bitcoin.
	There's only 21 million.
	There's only ever going to be 21 million.
	And the fact that people lose their USB drives, there's actually going to be below that.
	So it's more of finite supply.
	Do we assign value to it?
	That type of a thing.
	And even now, supply-demand, there's craziness in the oil market because of that.
	It's always just the perception of supply going up, demand going up, or obviously vice versa.
	Right now, as I was checking it this morning, oil has been taking a bit of a nosedive.
	It was in the mid-80s, a little bit long ago.
	It was actually in the mid-90s, and this morning we're in the mid-70s.
	And this is a big supply-demand equation, basically.
	I want to just make sure everything is good in our vivabarneslaw.locals.com community.
	I'm asking all good, but it's a question.
	I just can't figure out how to put the question mark in.
	So speaking of Viva Barnes Law, I was listening to Bourbon with Barnes last night.
	He's my counterpart, and he was saying it's an interesting observation that the price of oil is not only not skyrocketing, it seems to be going down, which...
	In his assessment, it's an indication that those who are making billion-dollar bets are not betting on a massive escalation of conflict in the Middle East, oil shortages, World War III, in as much as politics and markets merge.
	What do you think about that?
	So, my first reaction to that would be relative to when.
	So, oil is down relative to the recent peak in the mid-90s, but if you go back a month before that, we were in the mid-60s.
	So, it's kind of like, what is your actual anchoring point?
	In the very, very recent term, I'm talking the past two to three days at the point that we're filming this, there's been reports coming out of China, and China is the second largest consumer of crude oil.
	Imports and exports, basically their exports have now dropped officially for six months in a row, which is very, very rare for China.
	And their imports actually for the first time in like a year actually went up.
	So when you're a big, big consumer and your economic numbers are showing that your consumption is like lower than the world anticipated, that less, like less demand price is going to come down.
	So that's part of it.
	The other part is yes, in the Middle East.
	It was coming down from 94. It got into roughly the mid-80s, and this is per cost of barrel of crude oil.
	It popped when we heard about what's going on in Israel, Hamas, all of that.
	And that, Israel itself, is not an oil-producing country.
	But the idea...
	If it spreads, will it start to impact oil-producing countries or even the routes that we use to ship it out?
	Because obviously, little east, little south, you have Saudi Arabia.
	And then little east, little north, you have Iran, Iraq.
	You have very important oil-producing countries.
	So there was a little bit of a premium as in price went up.
	With oil when it was announced, because everyone's like, well, how bad will this be?
	So, you could argue, maybe conflict simmering down.
	Everything I see suggests that the conflict is not simmering down, though.
	It looks like violence is high, tensions are high.
	The recent move, I would more so attribute to China, but it's also very, very fickle.
	Tomorrow, oil could go up or down $5, so it could rapidly move.
	So, I wouldn't be the most surprised there.
	From the financial side of things, I think the most fascinating thing about what's going on with Israel and Palestine, I know you've probably covered this, and you're probably a lot more informed than I am.
	Obviously, that region, thousands of years of history.
	Like, it's a complicated mess, and it's one that I'm not the person to untangle.
	And I think a lot of it focuses on that Israel-Palestine.
	For me, The most interesting thing is actually financial because this completely stopped the Israel-Saudi normalization talks.
	We were very, very close to a big deal.
	For those of you who don't know what this deal was, it was kind of like a three-way trade in the NBA.
	You had Iran, who has nuclear weapons.
	Israel, Iran.
	Iran and Saudi Arabia do not get along at all, and Saudi Arabia were basically their weapon provider, and they said, hey, we want nuclear weapons to protect ourselves.
	The U.S. said, hey, we'll be willing to give you that, but we basically want cheap oil for the remainder of our lives, and we need you to be cool and simmer tensions in the neighborhood, including Israel.
	And they're like, okay, we're kind of in on that.
	So that's the three-way trade.
	Israel gets a calm region.
	Saudi Arabia gets weapons themselves.
	We get a calm region and also cheap oil.
	Talks were going good.
	They weren't about to be there, but United Emirates, they signed on.
	Things were looking good.
	It was closer to getting signed than not getting signed with the outbreak of this.
	It completely stopped it.
	And a lot of people are saying, well, who would lose out on that deal if it doesn't get, or if it did get signed, who would lose out?
	Well, Iran wouldn't because of the weapons.
	China wouldn't, and so would Palestine.
	So for me, from the financial economic side of things, I'm focused more on how the Saudi-Israel normalization talks are effectively dead in the water.
	Now, I've been told from our locals community that we might not be live on Locals.
	And I went live on this little phone, on this thing here, but it was the wrong angle, so I quickly went back down.
	You could be looking up my nose the entire time.
	Oh yeah, we'll break, so will we be live while we stop?
	Okay, we're going to pause for a second, or is it going to end the stream on Rumble, or no?
	Okay, so we'll pause for a second and get it up on Locals.
	Locals.
	Locals.
	Thank you.
	I'm sorry.
	And it was so disgusting, I said to myself, that's the last time I ever eat Taco Bell.
	Oh crap, are we live yet?
	We're live.
	Okay, that's a joke, everybody.
	I had another iteration of that joke the last time.
	There might be a problem with the locals' key, so we might not be able to stream the video on locals, but the chat will be up, and sorry everybody, I'll post the entire stream to locals afterwards, and to YouTube, who gets the leftover stale seconds, and not the live, on Rumble original.
	We were just talking about how the flare-up of violence in the Middle East, it was called the Abrams Accord, right?
	This is what the deal with Saudi Arabia benefited Iran, China, Russia the most?
	For them getting shut down.
	For them getting shut down.
	Yeah.
	Interesting interplay of politics and economics there.
	For sure.
	We've discussed that, Barnes and I, at length on VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com where we ordinarily would be co-livestreaming, but I think I might have, my fat fingers might not have cut and pasted the art, TMP codes properly.
	Whatever.
	Alright.
	That's in the markets.
	Anything else of particular interest?
	Right now in the markets, it seems like...
	I think right now a big talk is politically better, worse.
	I just want to calm everyone down.
	If you have a long-term outlook on the market, overall market, great thing to invest in.
	If you invest in the overall market, you're going to be half the hedge funds in existence per year.
	And that's buying indexes?
	S&P 500.
	So like, yes, you can very much overcomplicate it.
	Or you can make it simple and just invest in the market, set and forget, and move on with your life.
	That is a very acceptable way to most likely win in the market.
	What I like to do is, you see, I like to pick individual stocks like Nortel, GM, Kodak, and then go all in on them because they're at such low values.
	How much lower can they go?
	Bada bing, bada boom, out.
	But as we were talking before this, I said like the markets are interesting, but then you started talking about someone you went to school with.
	Yes.
	Someone you went to school with.
	Yes.
	Who's one of the Jan Sixers, who's still locked up.
	Has he been convicted yet?
	Yeah, so the way this all came about is, folks, I always come to Viva for any of my legal, like, hey, when the world's going on.
	I was home recently.
	I grew up in the middle of nowhere.
	Northeast PA, small town.
	And my mom informed me.
	She's like, yeah, no, like a kid who graduated a couple years below me, Jacob Lang.
	I actually played soccer with him.
	Jacob Lang, L-A-N-G.
	And I've familiarized myself with the story, but we'll be covering it a little more.
	Jacob Lang.
	Yeah, my mom, she's like, oh, by the way, because we somehow talked about January.
	Yeah, but to my understanding, I don't know where he is in the, I guess, proceedings, But to my knowledge, he's just currently sitting in jail slash prison waiting for a sentence.
	It's it's outrageous because this is going to interplay into we'll give a brief update in the Owen Schroer case.
	The Coutts for for all of you who know I was telling you, like.
	You asked me, is it legal?
	It smells of certain Eighth Amendment violations, cruel and unusual punishment, due process, and we've talked about all the constitutional violations, but legal or not, they've been doing it over and over again to January Sixers.
	In Canada, we've got four guys from the Ottawa protest accused of a conspiracy to commit murder of an RCMP office.
	It's a very scary-sounding charge.
	Evidence lacking.
	They've been in pretrial detention in remand for going on two years now.
	Haven't had their trial yet.
	Jan 6, we know of all of them.
	And we know of some of them who were held and subsequently released because of exculpatory video evidence that Tucker Carlson displayed to the public, much to the dismay of the deep state, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney.
	Republicans.
	And now we're talking about Owen Troyer.
	Owen Troyer, Infowars.
	Yeah, so I actually remember first coming across Owen Troyer.
	It must have been 2015, 2016.
	I think that's the first time I ever saw his videos leading up to that election.
	And then it was weird.
	A couple months ago, I thought to myself, why haven't I not seen any of his videos recently?
	And then I just got the news that that guy's in jail.
	You haven't seen his videos recently because he's still banned from Twitter.
	Despite having not committed any on-platform wrongdoing, and despite all of the other bans that were lifted, a highly censored individual online, he was at one point tied up in the defamation suit against Infowars for some statements about Sandy Hook parents.
	He was dropped from the lawsuit because he was reporting on reporting and not actually making statements himself.
	But there's some people out there who still think he's public enemy number one and don't care.
	But he came to a plea deal because he disrupted proceedings before January 6th.
	It was totally unrelated.
	He was accusing the Democrats of basically being war criminals and protested the way people protest during congressional hearings.
	And then he came to a deal which precluded certain behavior that he allegedly breached by being...
	Not in the Capitol, but on Capitol grounds and chanting 1776, which they deemed to be some sort of violent rhetoric, and they sentenced him to 60 days in jail.
	No bond pending appeal.
	So he says, 60 days.
	I want to appeal this decision.
	They say, well, too bad.
	You're going to go to jail during the appeal.
	And so by the time any appeal is either successful or not, he'll have already served his time.
	Was in solitary for one week.
	Because of COVID, from what I understand.
	Jack Posobiec, Human Events, Postmillennial reports on this.
	He was in solitary for one week for COVID.
	Gets out, gets on a call that's recorded.
	Someone managing a Twitter handle, through which they posted this audio recording, posts his recap.
	He says, thank you, I just got out of solitary.
	I got all your letters.
	Thank you very much.
	It was hard.
	My heart is, you know, I'm filled with joy from all the support I got.
	He made another joke about other parts of his body being, you know, enlarged also because of all the support.
	The Twitter handle, Owen Shroyer1776, posts it.
	And then he goes back to solitary and it's unclear whether or not he's going to be in solitary for the remainder of his 60 days because apparently he broke some sort of protocol or they're just punishing him.
	So we talked about it Sunday night with Robert.
	What do you do?
	By the time you do anything and there's any resolution, he'll be out and the torture will have been inflicted.
	So horse crap.
	It's a load of horse crap.
	This is cruel and unusual punishment.
	I don't know what the deterrent is.
	I don't know what the proportionality to the alleged breach is.
	We don't even know what the breach is.
	But, you know, people have convinced themselves they don't like Owen Troyer or Alex Jones, and so we'll tolerate the intolerable for people we think we don't like, thinking it never happens to us one day.
	If you serve time and then appeal and win the appeal, do they, like, pay you or something?
	I don't know in the States.
	I know in, I want to say Sweden or Norway, one of those, you know, what are they called?
	Never eat?
	Western European or the Nordic country.
	They do pay you.
	There was ASAP Rocky.
	Wherever he was jailed, that's the country that will pay you $135 a day for your wrongful detention.
	Wow.
	You couldn't pay...
	$10 million after two months in solitary could not compensate for it.
	I don't know who would actually say, give me two months of solitary for $10 million.
	I don't think people would...
	Many people wouldn't survive it intact.
	So bullshit.
	It's bullshit.
	And that should be known.
	Now we said we were going to talk about one more.
	Oh god, you're in New York.
	Yes.
	You live in New York.
	Yes.
	So you are now in...
	You should go to court and get in on this Judge Engeron...
	Donald Trump, Leticia James' persecution.
	You'd have a field day.
	I need to learn more about it, because also what just wrapped up was Sam Bateman-Fried, the FTX crypto scandal.
	So a lot of big court things are playing out in New York right now.
	SPF convicted.
	People were saying that this is evidence that it's not a two-tiered system of justice, except they seem to forget that one of the charges that he was charged with was dropped because they added it after the extradition, so you can't add charges.
	Oh.
	As a result of this conviction, they may or may not look into where all of those hundreds of millions of dollars went in terms of political contributions, etc., etc.
	So, yeah, his conviction is sort of like a Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein conviction where you get you get two players, but you sort of miss the bigger picture as to who the other players were and who benefited.
	Or what is it?
	Kibano?
	Whatever the Latin expression is.
	The whole thing blows.
	I assumed if you were a billionaire on a Caribbean island and you thought things were going awry, I thought they all just had exit plans.
	As much as he's touted as an MIT whiz kid, I just assume you have 100K saved somewhere because you're already in multiple.
	And you go.
	You just disappear.
	But no, he...
	I assume that if you're a billionaire on one of those Bahamian islands, you're crooked.
	I was listening to Elon Musk on Rogue and he's like, yeah, when he came up to me and he's Bahamian or wherever, Bermuda, Barbados, I was like, sounds crooked.
	I do my business and he says, Elon's like, I do my business in Texas.
	I might pay more in taxes and it might not be as tax efficient, but that stuff is sus.
	No, I'll give you the update because I'm going to get into this in a bit.
	There's, well, there's Alvin Bragg.
	Going after Trump for the hushed money payments out of New York.
	Okay.
	Patricia James, with this judge anger on him, we're going to get into this in a bit.
	Hashtag, what did I say I was going to call it?
	Bonus torso pick.
	Oh my god.
	I can't bring up a picture right now, but go to my Twitter feed or our locals community where I'm going to post this afterwards.
	Bonus torso pick, I believe, is what I want it to trend as.
	The judges as corrupt as judges, judicially corrupt as judges get in this case.
	This is the over-evaluation of his assets for the purposes of procuring loans at beneficial terms from banks.
	Leticia James claims it's defrauded New York.
	And it's day, I don't know, 26 of this trial.
	It's an absolute joke of a trial.
	But Trump has already been found guilty by this judge of fraud on the Mar-a-Lago property, which the judge...
	He overvalued it because the county appraisal says it's anywhere between $18 and $27 million because of restrictive covenants.
	And I just went there for the Dinesh D'Souza police state premiere.
	There's an empty lot of grass behind.
	That's $18 to $27 million between four palm trees.
	And if you're not on vivabarneslaw.locals.com, you've missed my documentary, which I'm going to publish later on for the rest of the world.
	Some perks there.
	So that's what's going on, but I'm going to get into some of the dirty stuff because the guy posted a selfie picture to his alumni web.
	What did I say I was going to call it?
	It's an alumni, I keep forgetting the word, alumni newsletter in which this judge, who had previously boasted about having all the tools he needs to get to, you know, whatever results he wants to bypass jury verdicts, to put into effect his biases.
	Is posting on his alumni newsletter, whatever the hell it is, selfies of his topless body to show his muscles.
	Oh, he did it intentionally?
	Oh, I thought this was a mess up.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	He posted this picture.
	Justin, we're not able to zoom.
	How close can I get to the camera?
	Check this out, people.
	It's nasty.
	Whoa.
	I thought...
	I was under the impression it was like...
	A leak, and he, like, I don't know, like, pocket-scented or something.
	He, like, went out of his way.
	He's like, hey, guys, like, this is what I'm up to.
	And it was totally unsolicited and unrelated to the rest of the newsletter.
	Well, let me see if the chat is puking.
	The rest of the newsletter was like, yeah, everyone's sharing their accolades, you know, what they're up to.
	And he's like, yeah, you know, sharing links of the Trump persecution and this and that.
	And then at the end, bonus torso photo of him.
	And it's like, he's not wearing pants.
	And this is the judge.
	This is the judge.
	In this case.
	The judge who eight years ago gave a speech to journalists saying, am I making the law or am I following the law?
	You know, we all have biases and I have tools, you know, to do whatever I want.
	Summary judgment, estoppels.
	So in this case, everybody knows it, but I'm going to rail against the corruption of this persecution.
	The judge has, on summary judgment, declared Trump guilty of fraud as relates to the evaluation of Mar-a-Lago.
	Now they're just like, you know, how much?
	Discording like $250 million in liquidation of assets and shutting down his businesses.
	It's communist-level stuff.
	You know, the judge who says, I have tools.
	Stop it.
	You can't make this argument.
	Well, in this case, he says, you can't raise the argument of, what do they call it, worthless clauses in contracts.
	You can't raise the argument of political persecution from Leticia James, who campaigned off prosecuting Trump.
	And now we're finding out, oh, and then he issued gag orders to Trump saying, you can't talk about my staff, even though one of my staff, who seems to be having more communications with me than is normal at all, you can't talk about them.
	He fined him once $5,000, fined him another $10,000, then gagged the lawyers so the lawyers can't talk about the staff.
	And this is the judge who's sending, bragging about his persecution of Trump in his alumni newsletter and sending unsolicited, they're half nudes.
	And Robert Gouveia had the most hilarious censoring of the nipples for YouTube, put Leticia James' pictures over Judge Ingeron's nipples.
	Classic stuff.
	So that's what's going on there.
	I have to say, I'm sure you're going to get into more detail on this, but if you were to pitch this all to me as an idea for a show, a book, or a movie, I'd be like, it's too outrageous.
	No one will ever believe it.
	Absolutely.
	And yet, that's our reality.
	Wow.
	That's crazy.
	That's absolutely crazy.
	Matt, before you go, tell them, where can people find you?
	And where can they find you next?
	You're going to be there tonight.
	Yes, so I myself, I'll be at the debates tonight.
	Folks, I'm on Rumble.
	Search Matt Coors, K-O-H-R-S, on Rumble.
	And then on top of that, similar to Viva, Barnes, and the team over there, I also have a Locals page, so mattcoors.locals.com, but Rumble, Locals, just search K-O-H-R-S, and you can find me there.
	I appreciate me and all you guys, and I'm sure you have a stellar show for everything that's about to come, not only here, but for the rest of the day, so I hope you crush it.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate it.
	Have a good one.
	Thanks.
	Well, I'm just going to go back and look at Judge Engeron's bonus torso photo.
	Hashtag bonus torso photo.
	By the way, that's coming courtesy of, not courtesy, that's from the hard work of Marco Polo, who I had on, and I'm nervous to, I know Marco Polo tweeted it, and then I made sure that the information was accurate before I retweeted it.
	Marco Polo is the guy who broke the Hunter Biden, broke down the Hunter Biden laptop story, produced the Marco Polo memo, the binder of all of the emails, the corruption, did a more thorough forensic analysis of Hunter Biden corruption than the FBI.
	So he's spearheading this.
	And I said, today we're going to make hashtag bonus torso.
	I'm not good with hashtags, but anyhow, we're going to see if we can make that trend because it's an outrageous joke.
	You make this as a plot to a movie.
	I want to play that clip again, but I don't think I'll find it quickly enough.
	I've posted the highlights of that Judge Angeron's speech from eight years ago.
	You know.
	Am I following the law or am I making the law?
	That's always a question you want to hear a judge ask.
	Who's presiding over one of the biggest political persecutions in the history of America?
	Okay.
	Now, I've lost the locals chat.
	I'm going to go see what's going on in the rumble chat.
	If I'm able to...
	Let's see what's going on here.
	This is America.
	WTF.
	USA is the future Zimbabwe.
	Meantime, oh my goodness.
	The memes you can do with that.
	So that's the intro portion of the show.
	We've still got more good stuff.
	Good stuff.
	I'm not going to be able to pull up graphs.
	I'm not going to be able to pull up images and share a screen.
	One day, maybe.
	But there's beauty in simplicity.
	But we're going to talk about it nonetheless.
	The other big story of the week and potentially the biggest story of what month are we in?
	It still feels like summer, but it's actually November.
	At the very least, the biggest story of the month.
	Steven Crowder.
	We managed to obtain three leaked pages of the Nashville Shooter Manifesto.
	Now, I was on Luke Rudkowski last night with Clint Russell, Liberty Lockdown podcast, Luke has We Are Change, and I was on their show talking about this.
	At least this came up among other stuff.
	If you haven't seen that episode last night, check it out.
	It's good.
	Luke Rudkowski, We Are Change on Rumble.
	We started talking about this, and we both...
	Share the same POV on this perspective, as does Barnes, and therefore I know that it's a reasonably intelligent position if Barnes also agrees with it.
	I'm reluctant to talk about these things because the attention does wrongly and nefariously encourage others.
	I think, as we discussed with Luke, you can do it without showing the pictures of the killer, without mentioning the name of the killer, and thus you deter, to some extent, any copycats, but you're dealing with...
	Patent clear mental illness in the first place.
	And then, you know, you're dealing with mental illness in the first place.
	And so, you know, perceived grudges and whatever, there's no rationalizing with that.
	But there are studies to definitively confirm that media sensationalizing of these stories encourages copycats.
	It's a known statistical thing, just like...
	Why they don't report on suicides is it tends to encourage that behavior.
	It tends to create more of it.
	Social contagions, if you will.
	You read The Virgin Suicides, one of the few books I actually read as a kid.
	So it's a known thing.
	So with that said, sort of reluctant to talk about it, but it's the censorship aspect of this story that is truly the most telling part of it.
	In other cases, they don't necessarily release the manifesto, but they sure as heck give you the Coles Notes summary of it when it's politically convenient, when it fits a narrative.
	When it doesn't, when you have a transgender individual shooting kids at a Christian kids' school, private school, well, then all of a sudden, they're not so fast to come out with details that might add political motivation, racial motivation to the attack.
	Flip it around.
	Sure as sugar, it's par for the course.
	In many cases, they'll even fabricate racial angles to stories where there are actually none.
	And then by the time it becomes debunked that there was actually no racially motivated angle to it, tough noogies, the lie has already floated around the world while the truth is still putting its pants on, to quote Mark Twain.
	In this story, there were a number of questions from the beginning that were being asked that were not being answered.
	It was revealed there was a manifesto, and no details were being revealed about it at the time.
	And the manifesto, it was at one point, you know, trending, where's the manifesto, or release the manifesto.
	I did not have that morbid curiosity to know what was in it.
	One could surmise what was in it by virtue of the fact that they weren't talking about it.
	When they don't talk about racial, religious, identity politics, angles of a story, you know they exist.
	When they do talk about them...
	You can make educated bets as to whether or not they in fact exist, don't exist, or are being wildly exaggerated.
	The manifesto was hidden for the better part of a year, and Crowder got leaked.
	I say Crowder and team obtained three pages of this manifesto.
	The obvious censorship online of that story, of the hashtags, of the images on other social media platforms, Instagram, Facebook, linking to the story, We haven't seen censorship like that since the Hunter Biden story.
	Another story, the truth of which would have shattered a narrative and impacted the most meaningful election, the most important election in the history of America at that time.
	I think the next one is going to be more impactful and more relevant than that one.
	We haven't seen censorship like that since that story.
	And I want to, like, it's collective systemic.
	Censorship and corruption at all levels.
	Social media, politicians, mainstream media not covering it.
	Even more so, and shockingly so, coming from law enforcement itself.
	For those of you who haven't seen it, it was tweeted out by the Metro Nashville PD.
	And I'll read it, if I can read this close.
	I'm turning into an old man here.
	It says...
	This is in response of the three pages of the manifesto, which if you haven't seen Crowder's show on Monday or you haven't read about it, I think nobody watching this has not seen that or does not know what was in it.
	But what was in it?
	The writings of a mentally ill individual who is harboring resentment based on whiteness of people, richness of people.
	I mean, it was like the horror version of a DEI manual.
	That's what was in it.
	Everybody knew it, but now we've seen it, and now to the extent that it's confirmed accurate, we have the evidence which was being withheld by law enforcement.
	And what you had, it's mind-blowing.
	Nashville, what is it called?
	Metro Nashville PD put out a tweet and listened to this wordsmith of the devil word salad to, what's the word?
	Not to conceal, but to obfuscate what's going on.
	Three pages of this manifesto released.
	All anybody cares about is whether or not it's authentic.
	That's all anybody cares about.
	Crowder says he's done his homework to make sure it was authentic, but this is what Metro National PD has to say.
	The MNPD is in communication with the Metropolitan Department of Law as an investigation begun this morning.
	I'm going to take my glasses off.
	I'm going to look terrible here.
	The MNPD is in communication with the Metropolitan Department of Law as an investigation begun this morning.
	Continues into the dissemination of three photographs of writings during an online discussion about Covenant School.
	The photographs are not MNPD crime scene images.
	Interesting verbiage.
	Let me just highlight the important words there in case you missed them.
	The photographs are not MNPD crime scene images.
	I think by definition they wouldn't be, although I do wonder if they were evidence.
	And the more relevant question is not whether or not they were crime scene photographs, because that might have a very limited or specific definition.
	Was it evidence?
	Was it evidence?
	The answer is either going to be, yes, it was, in which case we're being misled by the Metro Nashville PD, or it wasn't evidence.
	And then the question is going to be, well, what the hell?
	And the other aspect of this, you know, like, they're trying to blame Crowder for causing distress by releasing...
	The Manifesto, or three pages of it.
	Crowder might be walking into Alex Jones' territory in terms of the same types of argument being raised.
	You imagine the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
	Undoubtedly, this revives distress.
	The question is going to be, is it the dissemination of three pages of a manifesto of a killer the distressing part?
	Or is the fact that this individual killed children at a school the more distressing part?
	And this was the motivation for slapping Alex Jones with the, what was it?
	$1.6 billion judgment?
	That Alex Jones' words were so devastatingly damaging, distressing, That they're worth $1.6 billion.
	No judgment against the school for not adequately, patently, or potentially not protecting the children enough.
	No judgment against the actual killer or the killer's family.
	Maybe lack of security.
	None of that.
	$1.6 billion because words spoken by Alex Jones as wrong as they were.
	We're the most distressing thing about Sandy Hook.
	And now they're going to probably do the same treatment to Stephen Crowder and say, these words, even if true, are so distressing that cancellation might be the lesser of the pursuits.
	But we're going to go after Crowder.
	As if releasing three pages of the memo, manifesto, are what's more distressing than the actual murder itself.
	And in terms of understanding what was in those three pages, On the one hand, there are going to be people who might view this as opportunistic, exploitive.
	It's what people do.
	It's what journalists once upon a time used to do, but nobody ever blamed journalists for making money for doing journalizing if they were doing it responsibly and properly.
	All of a sudden now, when the MSM says, no, we can't report on that, and other independent journalists like Stephen Crowder say, I will, and I've got it, now it becomes a moral...
	A moral conundrum.
	How can anyone have a business based on this?
	Set all that aside, because it's a wild double standard.
	There's nothing wrong in people making a living off the hard work that they're doing.
	What if, just hypothetically, what if knowing this, what if understanding that this was the motivation, could potentially prevent, mitigate similar such acts in the future?
	What if?
	I mean, if knowing that there was something of a cultural identity politics aspect to this shooting, might that potentially assist in, I don't want to say profiling, but maybe identifying future risks?
	Might it help potentially for implementing some form of school security?
	Maybe.
	We're living in a world now where politics is trumping.
	Journalism, freedom of speech, and proper responses to ensure that similar things do not happen again in the future.
	And it's wild.
	And they're going to go after Stephen Crowder the same way they went after Alex Jones.
	Mutatis mutatis.
	That means modified according to the circumstances.
	They might not be able to go after Stephen Crowder for defamation if it turns out that...
	Or, you know, whatever, dissemination of disinformation, if it turns out that it's an authentic three pages from the manifesto, but maybe intentional infliction of emotional distress to deter anybody in the future from doing what Steven Crowder did, which is what journalists are supposed to do, which is what law enforcement is supposed to do.
	And they're not doing it.
	So that's it.
	There was another aspect where at some point, you know, um, what did I say about Steven Crowder?
	At some point, we're going to get to a world where they'll go after the people who break the story, and then they'll just go after anybody who shares it, because you have to control information at all costs for as long as you can.
	I forget who said it, but the issue is not in preventing the dissemination of information, because you can't do that forever.
	It's not controlling what people know, it's controlling when they know it.
	And so we're a year out, the fervor has died down, the original narratives of the story have now faded into oblivion.
	Now people have discovered the truth, apparently.
	Too little, too late.
	But they're still going to try to make an example that Stephen Crowder is the prediction in all of this.
	Alright, so that's the...
	Oh, the manifesto part.
	There was another thing that was...
	Oh, yes, yes, yes.
	We're going to get to the debate.
	We'll end on that just because it's going to be fun, but it's going to be a gong show.
	News coming out of Ukraine.
	I have to get the article because I don't want to misquote what's going on here.
	There's a military aide to Zelensky's regime died over the weekend.
	And it was initially reported as an assassination that this individual got grenades.
	It was like grenades, decommissioned grenades containing vodka, except one of the grenades wasn't decommissioned.
	This is from Asia Times, so take it for what it's worth.
	But the story is on the New York Times, who's now framing it as an accident.
	We'll get to there.
	Zaluzhny's AIDS death.
	Accident or assassination?
	This is the headline.
	His boss at Oz with Zelinsky.
	A major dies when a birthday gift explodes.
	Police call it misuse of ammunition.
	A Ukrainian army major, the assistant to commander of Ukraine's armed forces, Valery Zluzny, was killed by an explosion at his home in an upscale Kiev suburb in the village of Cheiky.
	According to news reports, the person who gave the lethal gift was the senior assistant to A.V. Timchenko, the deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Ukraine.
	No other information is available on Timchenko.
	There are voices on social media saying the aide was assassinated.
	I wonder why.
	Let's hear what this gift was.
	The gift was a collection of diffused and hollowed-out hand grenades, Western model, supposedly designed to open into drinking glasses and a bottle of strong vodka.
	According to some reports, the victim, Major Gennady Chestyakov, Gee, I wonder why anyone would think that that might have been an assassination attempt.
	I wonder why.
	You get the New York Times, and for anybody who has not read The Grey Lady Winks, you have to read it to understand how the New York Times, there's a concept called fractal wrongness, where no matter what you do, You do the wrong thing.
	And at some point, fractal wrongness is no longer an accident.
	It's deliberate.
	It's an iteration of, I don't think Steve Bannon said it, but he certainly has it on his wall.
	Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action.
	The New York Times has a history, a systemic history, of not just getting it wrong, getting the biggest stories of the time wrong at the time, to the point where it can't be an accident.
	Whether it's the Ukrainian famine, the Homolador back in the 30s.
	Whether it's Hitler and the Nazis in the 40s.
	Whether it's Stalin and the Soviets.
	Whether it's covering up for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and not talking about the fallout.
	Well, they run an article, which I shared on our vivabarneslaw.locals.com community.
	The New York Times, you gotta hear this spin.
	Dude gets gifted, hollowed out grenades filled with vodka.
	One of them is a live grenade.
	Oh boy.
	How does New York Times frame it?
	Oh, but they also got, in the first intifada, oh, it was the second intifada, New York Times got a story wildly wrong that caused people to die.
	Well, I'm trying to think of what they got.
	They got Nick Sandman wrong.
	They got hospitalized babies from COVID wrong.
	I mean, it's not an accident anymore.
	It is in-your-face Operation Mockingbird-level propaganda disinformation.
	But lo and behold, they're not the ones who get the disinformation warnings on social media.
	It's Tim Kennedy.
	New York Times: "Ukraine investigates birthday explosion that killed military aid.
	Major Gennady Chestyakov, an aide to Ukraine's top matter, died when a grenade given to him The gift blew up.
	Just gifting grenades out in Ukraine.
	Ukrainian prosecutors announced on Tuesday that they had opened an investigation into a bizarre explosion at a birthday celebration that killed an aide to Ukraine's top military commander in what authorities portrayed as a tragic accident.
	And I've said this over and over again.
	The New York Times is not saying it's a tragic accident because that would be a bridge too far.
	They're just quoting top authorities who say it's a tragic accident that he was gifted live grenades, pulled the pin, and blew himself up and severely injured his kid.
	The Special Defense Prosecutor's Office of the Ukraine Central Region, he returned home to Kiev.
	We already read this part.
	Prosecutors...
	Okay, gifts from colleagues that included a box containing six grenades.
	While taking the grenade from the boy because his kid took it, the officer pulled the ring which caused the explosion.
	Prosecutors said that the Major Shostakov, an aide to Zeluzhny, commander-in-chief to the Ukrainian military, had been killed on the spot by the explosion, seriously wounded his son.
	No explanation of why someone would give the Major grenades as a present or why he would have pulled the ring.
	That's some good journalizing there, New York Times.
	Based on the information gathered so far, we can assert that it was indeed an unfortunate accident as a result of careless handling of the ammunition.
	Mariana Reva, a spokesman for Ukraine's Interior Ministry, told national television on Tuesday.
	Yep.
	An unfortunate accident.
	What makes more sense?
	I'm just like, you know, this is, we live in a world now, it's almost post-truth.
	I don't know what's real, I don't know what's true anymore.
	I listen to both sides and I come to the best guess that I possibly can.
	Maybe it's entirely false.
	That these were hollowed-out grenades with a bottle of vodka intended to be used as, like, cool glasses.
	Maybe it's what the New York Times is reporting.
	They just gifted this guy grenades, because that's what you do in times of war in Ukraine.
	You gift people live military-grade ammunition.
	Between the two, because I often shop at a place called Easy Meats on Glades.
	That's Easy Meats with an S and Meats with an S on Glades.
	Hashtag not an ad.
	No joke.
	This is not a sponsored video at all.
	They just have the best meat on earth.
	It's a Brazilian steak place.
	Anyways, they have a spicy sauce that comes in the shape of a bottle that looks like a grenade.
	It's a spicy sauce.
	The grenade, however, the bottle is glass.
	It's translucent and you can see the sauce inside.
	But it's kind of a cool, kitschy thing.
	It would be a cool, kitschy thing to have shot glasses that are...
	What do they call them?
	Decommissioned grenades.
	It would indeed be a cool gift.
	Slap in there a bottle of vodka, give it to someone.
	That's a cool gift.
	If one were attempting to assassinate somebody, that would be one heck of a way to do it.
	Here are...
	Here's a gift.
	Five grenade shot glasses.
	But one of them is live.
	So when you pull the pin on the decommissioned ones that there are actual glasses, okay, they're a cool kitschy toy.
	But one of them is not like the other.
	Or New York Times.
	Gifted military-grade grenades and just happened to pull the pin.
	Nobody knows why.
	But we should trust what the Ministry of Truth is saying out of Ukraine.
	That's the story.
	I just thought that was phenomenally interesting.
	I talked about it with Luke last night.
	Luke and Clint.
	And then I read the New York Times like, oh, did we get something wrong yesterday?
	Because yesterday the news was reporting assassination attempt and maybe it wasn't.
	Maybe it was just a tragic accident.
	Okay.
	Always bet on black.
	What was the movie with Wesley Snipes?
	Guys, what was the movie?
	Passenger 57. Always bet on black.
	When it comes to the New York Times, I'm going to always bet against the New York Times.
	They get the biggest stories wrong and it's not an accident.
	So yeah, between those two narratives, I'm not reporting anything as fact.
	I'm just saying this is my thought process.
	I'm certainly leaning in the direction of here's a gift intended to assassinate and not...
	Here's some grenades.
	Let's play with the pins.
	All right.
	Speaking of law enforcement, I could have gotten to this one earlier.
	I can't really show the picture.
	Can I show the picture?
	It's the FBI.
	If you weren't scared enough of the FBI already, don't worry.
	They're recruiting.
	They're recruiting.
	If you're looking for a good career in law enforcement, to ensure that these law enforcement agencies are not weaponized, they don't go after political rivals, you have to get the best of the best.
	And you have to get the most activist of the activists.
	Reading from the FBI's Twitter feed, at FBI.
	Okay, sorry.
	Recently, at FBI Charlotte, that's the handle, FBI Charlotte, participated in a Pride event where the hashtag FBI spoke to attendees about career opportunities and the work the Bureau does to protect civil rights.
	It's amazing, now that I read it, actually.
	I thought the FBI was supposed to fight crime.
	And not civil rights.
	That's what you have the courts for, but okay, whatever.
	We'll get past that because maybe by protecting against certain types of crime, you're protecting civil rights.
	Okay, whatever.
	FBI says they've now become, they've morphed into a civil rights activist organization.
	Okay.
	Visit FBIGov, whatever, to learn how, to learn about opportunities to participate in FBI community programs near you.
	Now, this was something of a, I don't know how it goes.
	What's a ratio?
	It got quote tweeted as many times as it got.
	Retweeted.
	And yes, Elon, I refuse to say reposted.
	Tangent?
	Repost looks a lot like report.
	And so, but for one letter, Elon, whenever I look at reposts, I think someone reported the tweet, not reposted.
	So just go back to Twitter.
	It doesn't matter.
	Okay, I don't know if it's a ratio, but I think this got ratioed.
	I tweeted out.
	I said, oh my goodness, look at this.
	Holy crab apples.
	To which someone replies, what's the big deal?
	Diversity is our strength.
	Diversity is a good thing.
	You want the FBI recruiting from all different...
	What do they call it?
	Assays of society?
	Places.
	You want the FBI recruiting.
	Diversity of thought is a good thing in law enforcement.
	It's so juvenile.
	Let's just set aside diversity being a strength.
	That's a debatable question.
	That actually could be a very phenomenal posit.
	For a public debate.
	Diversity is our strength.
	True or false?
	It's a debatable question.
	It's not to say that homogeneity is good because, you know, too much intermarriage within, you know, closed genetic communities is not a good thing.
	Genetic diversity is a good thing, I think, but to a limit.
	I don't know.
	Not a scientist.
	I'm just a lawyer.
	But let's assume, I'll operate on the premise that diversity is indeed a strength, as it would be.
	In the internal mechanism of the FBI, you don't want activists in law enforcement.
	Period.
	Call me whatever you want to call me.
	You do not want activists in law enforcement.
	It's the antithesis of what law enforcement is supposed to be.
	So, in as much as...
	I'm trying to think of a...
	An analogy to a Pride event that doesn't compare it to something inherently bad.
	Like, I won't say, go to a KKK rally and diversity is our strength.
	That would be to equate a Pride parade to a KKK event, which is not, they're not analogous morally.
	Although, you know, some people might actually disagree with that.
	But I won't draw that unfair, nefarious comparison.
	I'm just trying to think of an analogy where you wouldn't go to...
	Well, I'll think of one as we're talking.
	You don't go to activist organizations and recruit activist minds.
	Environmental activists, 2SLGBTQIA plus activists, for law enforcement.
	What you need is political neutrality, not political activism.
	So, even if we operate on the basis that diversity is a strength, the type of diversity that you want in law enforcement is not activist diversity.
	Internally, each activist organization applying their activism to their law enforcement.
	That's not what you want to do.
	It's also really just a bad sign about FBI recruitment in general, and it's a bad sign as to where the FBI is going, although we all knew where the FBI has gone, is going, and will continue to go until such time as it is disbanded, because as far as this Canadian schnook understands, there's no constitutional authority for the FBI to exist.
	At all, let alone at the level they do now.
	So, I thought that was funny.
	I don't know if you all found that quite as funny as I did.
	Um...
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay, look, back to the manifesto thing for one thing, because I forgot.
	I'm looking at my notes on my phone.
	There was a back and forth between Crowder and Stephen Boring.
	I said I was going to talk about it at the beginning, and then I forgot about it.
	Stephen Baring?
	Boring?
	I think they pronounce it Boring.
	Isn't it first name Boring?
	Boring from Daily Wire.
	Came out with a tweet that said, you know, Stephen Crowder's a narcissist, yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah, slew of insults, but he got a good scoop on this credit, do where credit's due.
	Boring took an internet savaging for that, because people were like, can't you just congratulate him on a job well done?
	And yes, it's petty, and it looks petty, and yada, yada.
	And I'm just sitting there, a disinterested party, I watch Crowder, and he does good work, no but.
	People can't pretend that on Monday when Crowder was reporting, breaking the story that he wasn't taking discreet potshots at Con Inc., I think is what he called it.
	And so then boring replies in kind.
	Look, it's all...
	The internal fractioning of...
	I don't want to say ideological allies because allies are not necessarily a good thing, but people who had been ideologically aligned on material issues.
	The internal fracturing of these...
	Of these teams is very problematic, and it's very destructive.
	And I don't like, whatever.
	But everybody's dumping on boring and saying, what a cheap, petty potshot.
	Don't, you can't ignore what Crowder was doing during his stream.
	They're taking needles.
	This is how it works.
	The internet is a cruel and vicious place, and they're both big boys, and they can deal with it.
	But we cannot pretend that it was purely one-sided.
	But what it is, is, you know, yeah.
	It would have been the bigger thing to do just to totally ignore the pot shots and say, good work.
	You call me Con Inc., I'm still retweeting your workout, and what a scoop.
	But that was my thoughts on that.
	Not particularly deep.
	Okay.
	Let me see here.
	Hold on one second.
	The debate night.
	Okay, let's get to it.
	So that's a long-winded way of getting to why I'm down in Miami now.
	The third RNC debate.
	Peacock has it.
	NBC has it, I think, on television.
	And Rumble's got it online.
	It's going to be amazing in the sense that it's going to be a spectacle.
	Some might say it's going to be a debacle of a spectacle.
	I do predict in advance it's going to be a gong show.
	Now, I took screen grabs.
	There's three moderators.
	It's so bloody stupid to have three moderators for five...
	Look, the cynic in me understands why they want to do it.
	They've got to check off all those boxes of identity politics to get a woman moderator, a man moderator.
	That's why they have to do it.
	It's so preposterous that maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not.
	That these aspects of...
	What is it?
	Equity?
	Diversity?
	If it happens to be a white man, there'll be people, only one white man moderator, it'll be the end of the world.
	People will be railing on the internet.
	So they gotta get diversity in the moderators, and so they got three moderators in for five participants.
	The five participants, let's see if I can do it offhand, Tim Scott, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and now people are thinking, like, how the heck does Viva count with his fingers?
	So they got those five.
	Who's the other guy?
	Asa Hutchinson, or Asa Hutchins, whatever, the DEA, the deep state, the embodiment of the deep state.
	He didn't make the cut.
	The criteria was polling at 4%, having X amount of signatures in X amount of states.
	I don't know what it was, but it's sufficiently complicated that Asa Hutchinson, or Asa Hutchins, whatever his last name is, did not make the cut.
	Six people made the cut.
	Tim Scott, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Donald Trump.
	Only one of those is not coming for obvious reasons.
	I was initially mildly critical of Trump for not participating in the debates.
	It's patently clear that he simply physically cannot, legally would not be able to.
	And then, from the side perspective of strategy...
	It was the running gag of the second RNC debate out in the Reagan Museum up in the Simi Valley of California.
	I'm so cultured now.
	I've been to all these places.
	It was the running gag was, my goodness, Trump destroyed the field.
	He's got nothing to gain politically from it, but that is not a good excuse.
	If that were the only excuse, I would say that that's a borderline cowardice in terms of saying, like, I got nothing to gain, so why do it?
	Legally, he cannot.
	Legally, he would be up there debating with two hands tied behind his back where certain people could say certain things.
	Mike Pence is no longer in the field.
	He dropped out.
	So at least, you know, at least one of the potential witnesses wouldn't be on the stand for Trump to intimidate.
	But legally, he just can't do it.
	All that to say, he's not going to be there tonight.
	It's going to be a gong show.
	And what's Trump doing?
	Because Trump is, we say, the ultimate political showman.
	It's pretty damn close.
	He's announced that he's going live one hour before.
	He's going to compete with the broadcast of this third RNC debate.
	So he's going to get out there.
	Good for him.
	It's going to be fun to watch.
	Crowd is going to be covering it.
	Who else?
	I mean, there's going to be a ton of people covering it.
	So the question is going to be, where are the eyeballs going to be?
	I think the eyeballs should be on the RNC debate.
	It's going to be a gong show.
	It's going to be fun.
	Nikki Haley is riding a bump in the polls.
	I mean, she's got to be thinking like she's in.
	She's the next president.
	She's going to be the one to defeat Trump.
	It's going to be a gong show.
	I don't know what the format is going to be if it's, you know, one minute, 30 seconds.
	We'll see now.
	But hold on, hold on, hold on.
	I wanted to get to who the hosts are.
	Lester Holt is one of them.
	And then I didn't recognize the other two names, but that's just because I'm not all that familiar with this.
	Kirsten Welker.
	Meet the Press.
	Okay, well, that's why I don't watch these things.
	And Hugh Hewitt.
	Conservative radio personality host of the Talk Morning Show.
	Hugh Hewitt.
	Parents had to have named him that on purpose.
	So you've got three moderators.
	It's from 8 to 10 tonight.
	It's going to be amazing.
	What I'm going to do actually when I'm done here is I'm going to probably go down there early.
	Do a little Viva walkie-talkie on the street thing.
	Maybe keep it exclusive to locals to make up for this stream not being there.
	And see who I meet.
	And have some fun there.
	Now, let me go to Rumble and just see what's going on in the chat here.
	That is me right there.
	Am I going to be able to see if there's any rants?
	I don't think I'm going to be able to see if there's any Rumble rants in the chat.
	I'll just read a few of the chats.
	The takeaway from the...
	Oh, so Kilonius says the takeaway from the journal is that the killer made a video.
	Where is the video?
	One of the other takeaways from the manifesto was the part where she said, I almost got stopped.
	And what does that mean?
	Does that mean that armed security, even if it's one or two at every school, could prevent things like this?
	Heck.
	You know, we talked about why they raised the school in Sandy Hook so quickly after...
	After the horrendous, horrendous attack.
	We talked about it.
	The fact that they tore the school down, it spawned some conspiracy theories that were untenable or just factually incorrect.
	The reality?
	Maybe they took the school down, destroyed it, so that people couldn't see that certain safety protocol, which ought to have been implemented.
	Which maybe should have been implemented, had not been implemented.
	Maybe that's why.
	Maybe it's just the absolutely least conspiratorial but most obvious answer.
	So, yeah.
	Seems that GOP is using debates to keep Trump off the ballot.
	Populist versus establishment.
	GOP eats their own once again, says the Yate Captain Cook.
	I've been saying it for a while.
	It's why, of the remaining field, I'll...
	I like DeSantis as a governor.
	He's done good work in Florida.
	Wouldn't be here otherwise.
	Might have contemplated Texas, Tennessee, or the live-free-or-die state, New Hampshire.
	Although they've got to watch out now, because that license plate, live-free-or-die, could be deemed to be insurrectionist talk.
	They might want to keep an eye out there.
	You have that license plate, you might get the feds on you.
	But of the remaining field, I like DeSantis.
	But I like Vivek the most, policy-wise.
	I feel, and I don't believe it's a wrong sentiment, that the remaining field is, they are tacitly, if not deliberately benefiting from the persecution of Trump for their own political profit.
	They shouldn't be.
	To make hay out of the fact that Trump isn't or cannot debate is disingenuous.
	To think...
	That if Trump gets convicted in any one of these, what are we up to now, five or six persecutions?
	I think there's only four criminal ones, two civil.
	To think that if he gets convicted, that could serve as a legitimate basis to keep him off the primary ballot is not disingenuous.
	It's beyond disingenuous.
	It's deceitful.
	It is abusing and exploiting and profiting off political persecution for your own immediate political gain.
	Not understanding that it will come for you in the long run.
	And if it doesn't, it's probably because you're playing ball with the same uniparty deep state system that exploited that weaponized prosecution to go after your rival.
	To get you into power.
	I appreciate it's...
	What's the word I'm looking for?
	I can't be disproven.
	It would be something that I would not be able to prove me wrong on.
	But if DeSantis hypothetically ever got into power...
	If he became the nominee and became the president, and Democrats didn't go after DeSantis for human trafficking of the Martha Vineyards for fraudulent inducement, if they didn't go after DeSantis, I would take for granted it's because he is beholden to them or they don't see him as a threat for the purposes of weaponizing the system the way they went after Trump, who they view as a threat.
	So it would be...
	If he thinks they're not going to do it, or if anyone else out there, I don't know what Nikki Haley's been up to, but maybe she's made some money in an improper way.
	Maybe she over-evaluated her house for the purposes of a loan.
	Maybe she got the square footage wrong on her house when she applied for a mortgage.
	Who knows?
	If none of them think that the deep state politicized Democrat apparatus would go after them, that's because they're playing ball with them.
	So, it's disingenuous, dishonest, and exploitive to profit from this political persecution for their own Temporary current political gain because it will come back to bite them in the ass.
	Sure as sugar.
	Please turn down the mic sensitivity, please.
	I hate heating the detail.
	You hate hearing the details of my mouth constantly?
	It's so disgusting.
	King Ginger, 33. I'll see what I can do about that.
	By the way, I hate that too, but it is the problem with the Shure microphones.
	It's...
	I was listening to Rogan with Elon Musk, and they ordered the double pineapple, double anchovy pizza, and I'm jogging, listening to this on speaker, not on headphones, because I want to have constant 360 situational awareness.
	But I'm listening, and I hear Rogan chewing, and they made a joke about it afterwards, like people who are listening to this while jogging, trying to lose weight, are going to be repulsed or jealous.
	I was just, I don't like hearing.
	The part of people's mouths, but alas, that is the risk of the microphone.
	Totally, totally, totally side note.
	Nullimus says, Vivek is the real deal.
	The shade being thrown at him is establishment crap.
	Well, okay, and in fairness to that, I can, I can, I think, fairly and objectively assess Vivek.
	I can understand why people think he looks too polished.
	I think people think he looks a little too salesman-ish.
	In delivery.
	And that, I think, is just being new to politics.
	Maybe being nervous, but I don't think he's really nervous.
	I think it's feigning confidence.
	I can understand people being turned off by demeanor, but everyone's got their own demeanor.
	You can have a DeSantis demeanor, and that's going to turn people off or not light people up for other reasons.
	But let's go with substance over form, as we always should in life, in love, and in business.
	I just made that up right now.
	Policy-wise, I don't think I disagree with him on much, except for starting a war with the cartel.
	The idea that you would wage war against the cartel in Mexico as opposed to just flipping, fixing up the border...
	You don't take military aid out of Ukraine so you can start a war with the cartel in Mexico.
	Just put up a freaking wall.
	Put up a border.
	Make sure that fentanyl and drugs are not coming across the border.
	Make sure that human trafficking is not coming across the border.
	Let Mexico deal with their own cartel problems in as much as by building a wall you would probably take care of the vast majority of those problems in America.
	Now the dude who made me self-conscious about my mouth is...
	We got Ben Allman says, no, turn it up, David.
	Hold on, where did it go?
	I just lost that comment.
	No, turn it up, David, from Ben Allman.
	I'm going to put myself on pause so I don't see it.
	ClaireCat367 says, I don't know, Viva, feels inauthentic to me.
	Well, first of all, okay, inauthentic, you're imputing intentions.
	Here's another fortune cookie of the morning.
	Be very reluctant to impute intentions because it's very difficult to prove or disprove intentions.
	What you can know is that someone is doing something definitively.
	You can know what they're saying.
	You cannot easily or if ever determine why they're saying it or why they're doing it.
	Maybe, maybe it's totally disingenuous.
	Vivek is saying all the right things because he knows that Trump is going to win and he wants a position in his cabinet.
	I asked him that question when he was on my channel for the interview.
	His response was a very quick no.
	Now, that might have been a defensive no.
	It might have been a no for now.
	Who knows?
	He's only saying it because he wants a position in a Trump administration, and he's convinced that Trump is going to win, so he's trying to get in his...
	Okay, first of all, you can never disprove that, even if he does take a position or doesn't.
	So what?
	The merits of what he's saying right now is what is important.
	And he's not getting any real-time gifts for the positions he's taking.
	He's actually just taking real-time heat.
	Inauthentic can't be determined.
	But it's unpopular, at least with the political establishment, not with the populist sentiment.
	And so, you know, he's not getting any real-time favors for the positions he's taken, unlike, you know, others who might flip-flop or might change their views, who might then benefit from, you know, donors and whatnot.
	So there's that.
	But I'll tell you this.
	If you haven't seen my interview with Vivek, I think he's authentic.
	And I think he came off as a lot more authentic in that interview.
	I want to take full credit for it because I have the ability to warm people up and bring out the true self.
	But no, he came off as, in my view, very authentic in our interview.
	And I was actually, any doubts that I had were quelled after our interview.
	It was short.
	It was 40 minutes.
	Short.
	I'd love to see any other political candidate sit down for 30 minutes with anyone who's going to ask meaningful questions.
	Okay.
	Let me see what's going on here.
	Colonius says Vivek will not protect our founding stock.
	He will open borders and allow naturalization for the replacement.
	I disagree with that, but...
	Well, they might want to start by stopping funding them.
	I mean, the easiest way to maybe stop funding them, stop arming them, you know, stop doing whatever.
	Okay, I don't want to get too much down some Alex Jones rabbit holes.
	Oh, let's see.
	Trump can give Vivek a top cabinet position and see how good he is working in the swamp.
	The real question is going to be, what's happening?
	What's going to happen with Trump?
	That's going to be the...
	We're going to see what happens with the current...
	I mean, it's just so atrocious what's going on.
	I think Ivanka is testifying today, so I'm going to go catch up on that as I have a very late breakfast.
	And that's it.
	Who do we have coming up after?
	Does anybody know who the next stream is?
	Revenge of the Cist.
	The Cist or the Cis?
	Okay.
	After me is Revenge of the Cis.
	Not to be confused with Revenge of the Cist, which is a niche of YouTube where people pop cysts.
	I know nothing about that.
	I don't watch that often because it's so bloody satisfying.
	I think I've talked about this on Locals, but I've discovered a new one.
	Forget cysts.
	It's disgusting.
	Nobody likes that.
	Horse hoof.
	Cow hoof maintenance.
	There's a Scottish guy.
	This might not be the shout-out he wants.
	He documents, you know, like, shaving down infected cow hooves.
	And he's got a thick Scottish accent and he's talking about hooves and, like, lame cows and they shave off the stuff and they get these infections and then drain these abscesses in the cow hooves.
	Fascinating stuff.
	And more politically correct to watch than pimple popping, even though, you know.
	Okay, whatever.
	Alright, so all that to say, people.
	What am I going to do?
	I'm going to end now.
	I'm going to go get some food.
	And I'm going to go live at some point again during the day on the location, see who's there, see what's going on, see if there's any protesters, counter-protesters, talk.
	May not do it live for logistic reasons, but we'll see.
	And that's it.
	What am I forgetting?
	How to support, follow the challenge.
	Did I forget?

	So I will see you all later.
	Oh, sorry.
	Marco Polo is coming back on.
	I don't know when.
	I thought we were going to do it today, but I don't think I can do it.
	Well, I obviously can't do it today.
	Marco Polo is going to come back on to talk about Judge Angeron.
	Hashtag.
	I can't remember the hashtag.
	Bonus Torso Photo.
	So Marco Polo, Jared Ziegler.
	Marco Polo.
