I've been walking for about 57 days and 8 hours.
I'm walking from Brooklyn, New York to Del Rio, Texas where I'll then cross the Rio Grande into Mexico and then re-enter the United States as an illegal immigrant.
That way I can get back on unemployment, get free housing, and so the government doesn't punish me for not being vaccinated.
I've got about another 326 miles, and then I can get back to life as normal.
Better start working on my accent.
Wish me luck, amigo.
If you don't know who Ty Fish is...
If you don't know who Ty Fish is...
He's got a bunch of shows coming up.
Yeah, if you don't know who Ty Fish is, you have to go follow him.
And I almost feel guilty sharing that entire clip because it's comedic genius.
But to make sure that everybody goes and follows the Ty Fish.
How does he spell it?
Oh, it's Ty the Fish.
On Twitter.
It's fantastic.
Now, all right, we've got the guest in the backdrop.
We're going to let people trickle in.
I'm going to do an audio mic check because a lot of you have been saying, Viva, your audio is always low compared to your guests.
I'm going to...
One day, like, science and technology being what it is, I'm going to, like, have a method of doing it.
It always sounds good to me until afterwards.
But Ty Fish, it's funny because it's true.
And knowing what was involved for me to get a visa, you know, I guess it's a good problem to have, to be able to, you know, go do things lawfully.
But the border crisis is out of control.
And when you see that they're, like, you know, kicking out homeless people from shelters to make room for illegal immigrants, when you know that it's costing 2,000 bucks, whatever, a month...
Yeah, it's a man-made problem, or I should say government-made problem.
And Ty Fish is highlighting the hilarity that if you just come in illegally, you never had to show a vaccine passport.
If you just come in illegally, you'll get better housing conditions than the homeless veterans who fought for freedom so that they could come home homeless.
Paraphrase Tom McDonald.
But before we get into any of that, people, before we get into Phil Demers, the Walrus Whisperer, I'm going to re-dub him now the Manatee Savior.
You may have noticed that it says this stream contains a paid promotion.
Because it does, people.

My wife doesn't like it.
It's amazing.

Christmas is just around the corner.
Do it, people.
The gift that gives back is the gift of sleep.
Okay, taking this out.
Link is in the description of this video, of this stream, both on Rumble and on YouTube.
Oh, I hope we're on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
We are.
I keep choking on my own tongue here, people.
I don't know how long we have Phil for, so I'm not going to waste much more time talking about how this all works.
You know how it works.
We're live on YouTube, Rumble, vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
We are going to end on YouTube after Phil.
Not before, because Phil's not around for too long today, because he's heading down to Miami.
He's going to explain it all to us.
If you don't know who Phil Damaris is, where the hell have you been?
The channel, we've had him on many, many times.
We were going to do this in person, but...
Timing didn't work out to do it in locals, so we're just going to do it digitally, and then maybe we'll see each other tomorrow at a protest.
A demonstration, a demonstration.
All right, Phil, are you ready?
Phil is ready.
Hold on.
Say it again.
I like to call them protest parties when we're celebrating.
I was going to say protest.
Protest will get you locked up for 11 years if you happen to have a pocket knife on you.
Phil, I've done my intro, but I don't think I can possibly do you justice.
Everybody watching should know who you are, but for those who are new to the channel, welcome.
Phil, tell them who you are.
I used to work at a place called Marineland of Canada, a well-known place, at least to Canadians and people just a little bit south of the border.
Became a whistleblower of animal cruelty in 2012, was subsequently sued for millions of dollars.
That sort of inspired me to become even more outspoken.
All of this back 12 years now.
Lo and behold, Chapter 2 took some advocacy down south in the Miami area.
Greater part of the last year and a half, advocating for solitary orca Lolita, who subsequently passed away months ago, sadly.
But persistent as we are and continue to be, there are other animals at the Miami Sea Aquarium that need attention.
And so of late, we're better known perhaps for revealing or rather publishing a very viral video of Romeo, the solitary manatee.
That's, you know...
Created a great deal of public outrage and subsequently got them rescued.
Romeo, Juliet and their calf, Clarity, now have all been removed from the Miami Seaquarium and are on their road to rehabilitation.
We'll flesh out a little bit of the intro and then we're going to move on to the...
I didn't realize Romeo and Juliet had a calf.
Okay, so the Marineland decade-plus battle that you had, we went over that in detail.
People can go back and watch the stream.
But basically, you blew the whistle on how they were treating the higher-order mammals, Smushy the walrus in particular.
They then sued you and engaged in lawfare that lasted over a decade.
The settlement consisted of moving Smushy the walrus to a proper habitat because Marineland was just incapable of doing it.
Abu Dhabi?
Correct.
Yeah, it's a brand new facility.
The biggest win is that whereas her calf and Smushi were separated at birth at Marineland, they're now living together.
They're in a facility that is, you know, it's got climate.
It's obviously very climate controlled, which is the first for Smushi.
Otherwise, he was forced to perform under the hot sun.
She's not doing performances.
They are display only.
And it's beautiful.
She's got fish in her habitat.
There's ice.
As far as the best interests of that animal, particularly those two manatees, this was a home run for them.
Okay, and it's amazing, and people can go read up on that.
It was a saga unto itself.
After you resolved that, or after that settled, without getting into the problems of the settlement in terms of your not being reunited for one moment with Smushy, you turned your sights on to the Miami Sea Aquarium.
Sorry.
I don't think I've ever asked you this.
How did you pick, or how did Miami Seaquarium get on your radar after you were done with Marineland?
So, I will have known about the circumstances over there.
It just never occurred to me to actually go.
You know, I live in Canada.
The thought of going down and starting to actively participate in this was, you know, it just seemed like a bit...
Maybe not exactly something I could afford, for instance.
But believe it or not, it was Jimmy Corsetti who sent me a message one day, got in contact with me and says, yo, we got to do something about this aquarium.
And believe it or not, he very generously paid for my say.
And so, you know, a little time later, we were up in a helicopter.
And once I seen the conditions of the animals with my own eyes, this is what ultimately led us on a path to where we are today.
It is amazing.
You held a protest gathering there and you invited me down and you said, Viva, ordinarily, I'd never tell anybody to patronize Miami Sea Aquarium.
Go inside and look at I mean, it was mind-blowing that they were in an enclosure that if it were a pool at a Holiday Inn, your kids would be saying, this is a crappy pool, it's tiny.
And these two very, very higher order mammals had been in there.
I couldn't believe the answer that the guy gave me for...
Well, since 1958, 57?
Yeah, 57. They've been in there, I mean, 60 years for Romeo, 40-some-odd for Juliet.
And so you become aware of this, and they become your next target.
But it wasn't Romeo and Juliet at the time.
It was Lolita the Orca.
That's what led me to basically get our eyes onto, or rather, onto the Miami Sea Aquarium.
And then, you know, subsequently, once you start to see, as you did, I mean, look, the first thing you saw...
Viva, and you have a viral video, is the outrage that you expressed having physically seen those manatees.
So it really was a question of just getting that information out.
And this is just what we did.
It happened to be very timely and very effective.
So you were pushing for Lolita to get her out, but she subsequently died before anything could be...
She died.
She died amidst a PR campaign that suggested that they were intent on releasing her, but we knew better.
There was just no way she was going to survive these ever-deterioring conditions, and we weren't wrong.
So Lolita the Orca died.
What was the other name that she went by because Lolita was not popular on the internet?
Tokete.
So after that happened, she passed away.
Do you know what they do with the corpse after she dies?
Do they cremate it or what do they do with it?
Yeah, in this particular case, they sent her body immediately before anyone can actually...
Before any government agencies could really even get involved.
They sent them to, I believe, a university in Georgia.
They did a very quick necropsy and then cremated her.
And any cause of death other than old age?
This is a convenient story they said.
I don't buy it.
I just don't buy it.
The numbers don't add up.
Despite the fact that she was advanced in age for captive whales, it's not representative of what's happening in the wild.
She could have lived many, many, many more years.
And I do believe, had her conditions not been as bad as they were, that she would still be alive today.
So Lolita dies.
You should probably also flesh out for those who are not aware.
You got into some legal stuff with Miami Seaquarium.
After settling your lawfare initiated by Marineland, it seems that another aquarium, sea aquarium, whatever, didn't learn the lesson of Marineland.
What happened with you and what's the status of that now?
So they've sued me for defamation, oddly.
They're now trying to drop that element of the lawsuit.
Because they're claiming that it's going to be difficult to calculate damages on the fact that Lolita died.
We know, of course, that they don't want to actually give any documents by way of discovery.
They are also now seeking a...
You're going to get a kick out of this.
I don't know if I've ever told you the details of this, but they're seeking a protective order against me.
The reason that they're seeking a protective order against me is because now they're suing me for the defamation as well as trespassing, despite the fact that I've never actually flown a drone in my life.
And I was in South Korea when they alleged that I was the person responsible for this drone footage that had subsequently gone viral at the time.
But so what my partner, Marketa Shustarova, who's the co-founder of Urgen sees, messages me one day and says, I'm on.
The Seaquarium's Instagram.
And I can see that they themselves have flown drones in the park.
And so she sends me a screen grab of the video itself.
I take a look at it.
And it's actually quite egregious.
It's awful flights.
They're really close to the animals.
The animals are running and scattering.
So I take that.
I take that screen grab.
I edit it so that there's no mention whatsoever that the Seaquarium actually took it.
I tweeted it at their CEO going, yo, look, I'm in your park.
I'm dangerously flying close to animals and really loudly above the public.
And then I did clarify and say, oh, wait, that was you.
You know, you made a big mistake suing me.
Nonetheless, it's as if they skipped the detail that I clarified that it was their drone footage, and that was the evidence that they submitted by way of needing a protective order against me.
They've since missed all the deadlines to the responses.
So, frankly, I don't know where exactly we're at in the lawsuit.
I just know that it is, once again, it's just another comedy series at play.
Yeah, because the initial motion that I saw was to...
Prevent you from accessing the property, prevent you from flying a drone over it.
Did they identify the statements, the alleged statements, through which you defamed Miami Sea Quorum?
No, there was never any statements issued or provided.
Okay.
I mean, that's hilarious that you used their drone footage and they submitted as evidence of wrongdoing.
Lolita dies, and then you turn your focus to Romeo and Juliet, although you were focusing on them as well at the time, but now they're the last remaining targets.
Are they?
So Romeo, Juliet, their calf, tell the world about that.
So what becomes is my partner calls me again with a great idea and says, well, see, I should be mentioned, I'm blocked from social media as well as you are from the Miami Sea Aquarium.
So I'm not able to see the stuff, but, you know, some people are able to.
And in this case, my partner sends me a message saying, OK, Miami Sea Aquarium just declared November as Manatee Awareness Month.
And so our job is to show the world how awful they treat their manatees.
And this is what inspired us ultimately to start republishing more current videos about Romeo.
And so I'm looking, I'm just going to bring up the Miami Sea Aquarium so that the world can see.
So Romeo and Juliet had been there forever.
Had there ever been discussion about moving them to a sanctuary until you started putting a little bit of blast on the Sea Aquarium?
There have been intentions from the outside, but the Miami Sea Aquarium...
Seemed not inclined to do anything and the public pressure ultimately forced their hand.
So things were lined up to an extent, but it did take our nudge to actually get it happening.
We were blessed yesterday to get invited by Zootampa to go actually meet and visit.
Romeo and Juliet.
And it was just a wonderful thing to see.
And they were so thankful.
And we were, of course, just as appreciative of it all.
But they recognized that the public outrage played a heavy role in all of this.
And they're just so appreciative.
They'd been, they themselves, in a state of heartbreak, knowing these conditions, of course.
It's crazy to me because it seems, at least when I went there, I've never seen a meaningful crowd there.
It's the most depressing sea aquarium, whatever you want to call it, I've ever seen.
The real estate seems like the most primest of real estate for other forms of development.
I don't understand why the intent would not be just to, not liquidate, but you know, displace, find sanctuaries for all the animals and do something productive and commercially viable with that.
Do you know where the two manatees went?
Or the manatees and their calves?
So, Romeo and Juliet are currently at Zoo Tampa's Manatee Rehabilitation Center, which means they're there temporarily.
Once they're medically cleared, they will be looking for a permanent place for them, and we're hoping it's the Homestasa Sanctuaries.
Their intent is to get them there as well, so it'll be a semblance of an entirely free life, only they'll be...
You know confined to a to a natural space and remaining under human care given the fact that you know their health is there's some question about it and they're of course at our advanced age.
Clarity was is actually now property of the Florida Fish and Wildlife the intent and she's at Orlando's SeaWorld Manatee Rescue program as well with the intent of releasing her.
Possibly to the wild.
That's the hope.
So, you know, the good news just keeps getting better.
But I've got to stress that, and absolutely in the case of Romeo and Juliet, if in fact they wind up being permanent residents where they are now, it's a great place for them.
They're in good hands.
They're finally with other manatees.
And to watch it with our own eyes yesterday gave us chills and goosebumps like you can't imagine.
It's a humbling experience, but it's a blessing to witness the change in these animals' lives in a matter of weeks.
So where is the new place that they're at?
It's up in Orlando?
Zoo Tampa.
That's in Tampa.
Correct.
I'm very smart.
And so they look, compared to the way they were just sitting there stewing at Sequim, they look visibly better.
Yeah, there's still some healing necessary due to their awfully sunburnt skin.
So there's still some recovering, but the attitudes have changed so much.
So they have a reason to live again, and you can see it.
It's on their faces.
It's in their demeanor.
Again, a humbling experience, but absolutely a blessing to witness.
It's amazing.
I did put you as the hero on the thumbnail, and I'm thinking like some people might...
There's no discussion.
What you've done is...
I'm trying to think of the metrics of heroism in terms of personal sacrifice, personal exposure, personal risk for...
You know, not any sort of personal financial gain or personal gain whatsoever.
I think quite to the contrary.
And you've done it.
So, by the way, they had a calf, Romeo and Juliet?
How does that happen?
So Juliet was with Clarity.
When you went to see them, that was Juliet and Clarity.
Romeo was in the off-site pool in isolation, circling the drain.
That's all he was doing.
Complete solitary confinement off-site.
That's the video that ultimately went viral, was us filming Romeo in his solitary confinement.
It's a stupid question, and I'm going to ask it anyhow.
Did they make the babies, or did they have the babies naturally?
That's a natural birth.
I don't know the entirety of the history.
I understand that there were multiples of calves born and they've been sent to other facilities.
Manatees was not my area of expertise until about a month ago and now I'm really starting to delve into this.
But yeah, there's a long history of breeding and sending to other facilities.
We're going to take a look at where those manatees are and see if we can't do anything for them too.
Amazing.
And so that's the latest white pill was Romeo, Juliet and calf being brought elsewhere.
What else is going on currently and still at the Miami Sea Aquarium?
Well, so the Miami-Dade County, as of November 1st, issued a 45-day warning that if they didn't fix their park in regards to a scathing USDA report that came out some months before, that they're going to exercise all legal options, including ending their land lease agreement.
And that deadline is...
Tomorrow.
Oh, it's today.
Tomorrow is the day where they're celebrating the fact that they're now open technically in an illegal way.
But, you know, we don't know exactly how the county is going to react, but we know what we want.
We want the Miami Sea Aquarium reduced to dust.
We want those tanks filled up and we want that this to be that we want that stain removed from Miami forever.
So when we talk about the historical date that tomorrow is for the demonstration for the protest party, it's day one of the end of the Miami Sea Aquarium.
Now we're going to get to the protest party, but before that, a little manatee porn.
Let's just see what it looks like.
Okay.
Interesting.
The choice of music is...
Apparently it's close up, Phil, so we're going to...
I bet nobody thought they would end the day or at some point end the day.
Not sure I signed up for this, but here we are.
Really?
Beauty's in the eye.
The middle of the thing.
Okay, so that's what it looks like.
Skip ahead here.
So it's tough to see what exactly, it's like perpendicular manatee sex, which, so they do it the way mammals do it.
It's a manatee P to the manatee V. Okay, so tomorrow, protest party.
What's the purpose?
What's the objective?
And actually going forward, what happens to Miami's aquarium if their land lease is expired or no longer renewed?
Well, we're there to celebrate regardless whether it be a rainy, windy monsoon or not.
We want them to know that we're an ever-present presence.
We're in every empty seat in that place.
We've got eyes above, around, below if need be.
They did the old ignore, laugh at, fight, and subsequently we will win.
And this is where we're at.
We're there to show them.
Couldn't sue me.
I tried to get a gag order and what became the biggest viral video that we've ever produced.
You sued me for flying a drone, so I put a helicopter over you.
What are you going to do next?
I'll tell you what we're doing next.
We're eliminating you.
So we're there to dance.
Urgencies tell the world what that is.
Urgency is a non-for-profit that I started with my partner.
Really, we're only maybe eight months into this thing, but we've had this pretty incredible impact.
I've always wanted, after I'd become a whistleblower, to provide a safe space for whistleblowers.
So the objective is, again, I stress, I don't fly drones.
I've never flown a drone in my life, but I'm willing to publish it and take the heat for it.
If you're a whistleblower, if you're looking for a place where you can be safe.
To provide the information that is, you know, that the public needs, we'll provide it and we'll provide it and we'll shelter you.
So, you know, this was the objective.
We're doing much of the work on our own, but, you know, we're every day getting more and more information from other facilities.
And in fact, you know, zoo employees are contacting us, but they understand this is what I was.
And so I'm trying to provide a space for people like that, as well as a space where we are sort of unapologetically, aggressively, in a direct action way.
You know, very consequential.
So, you know, if we come knocking on your facility, you've got two choices.
Fight me or just give me the animals.
But I promise you, both options end with us eliminating or taking your animals.
It's a not-for-profit.
Is it?
Oh, uh-oh.
They've just cut Phil.
Okay, when he comes back, I'll bring him back in.
Let me just see what's going on there.
Until such time, people, let's just see what's going on with the manatee.
Oh yeah.
I'm joking.
There's not a lot of things.
Okay, we'll stop that and see when Phil gets back in.
Let me text him and just make sure that everything's okay.
You just went black.
I'll bring him back when I see him here.
Okay, I'll take out the manatee sexual coitus videos.
So the question I was going to ask him was where the not-for-profit is incorporated.
I should highlight something about Phil.
For those of you who don't know, they called him the Walrus Whisperer because he imprinted with this walrus named Smushy when she was at...
Oh, there he's back.
And developed a relationship with her that went viral.
He was on Knockout Canada, or Wipeout Canada, not Knockout.
And since then has been on a mission.
And it's amazing because I've known him now since pre-COVID.
And an amazing guy.
Okay, Phil, I thought they came for you.
So the only issue now, if you're talking to me, is I can't hear things.
I got bounced by a phone call, so I apologize, but I can't hear you now.
You can't hear me.
I can't hear you, unfortunately.
No, I can only hear myself.
Maybe that's something I could do at my end, but here I am at 46, not knowing what the hell I'm doing.
Okay, now hold on one second.
Hold on, watch this.
I'm going to do this.
Hold on.
Where was the 501?
Not-for-profit incorporated, question mark.
Oh, you know what I can do here?
I can ask the questions in the private chat.
I'm just going to get Phil to start talking.
Let's go into private chat.
Where is the not-profit ink?
Okay, so we'll see this.
Let's see if he sees the question in...
He's got to move the phone!
Look in chat.
I can't even comment.
This is awful.
It's in Canada, Ziva.
I can't see nothing.
I can't type.
I'm so sorry.
I'm that guy.
But maybe I can come back in from the back door if you need.
But you want me to do that?
I'll go out and come back in?
Happy to.
Yeah, I'm going to do that now.
Okay, we'll get this back.
I'm going to kick him from the stage.
Okay, he clicked out.
Well, give me time to talk about this anyhow.
So he bonded with the Smushy the Walrus imprint that had a unique relationship that got him viral, went on Wipeout.
And when people want to talk about lawfare, he got sued by Marineland and they dragged him through the court process for years.
You know, discovery obligations, everything.
And then they postponed one hearing after another.
They sued his girlfriend.
Let me go to the chat here.
And he ultimately won that battle after a decade.
What we didn't get into, and I didn't, almost better I talk without him being here about it because I don't want to bring up...
Bad feelings that he might have, lingering bad feelings.
Part of the settlement was when Smushy the walrus was relocated to a better environment, he was supposed to have a unification with her, like a meet-up after all of this ordeal, because she went off to the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, and not clear that Phil could get there.
They were so bitter and spiteful, they screwed him out of the settlement, but he moved on knowing that Smushy has moved on to a better life.
Let's see if we can do this.
Okay, can you hear me now?
Perfectly.
I just want to stress that despite the fact that we did successfully have the walruses moved and I didn't get my reunion as promised, I'm now going after the money that I had otherwise foregone to accommodate that move.
So they owed me all of my legal expenses up until the point of their dropping my lawsuits or shortly thereafter.
I would have been within my rights to go after cost motions, as you know.
They would have owed me.
My lawyer had an estimated between $200,000 and $300,000.
I said, I waived that money and said, just move the walruses.
They said, yeah, we'll do that.
Of course, with the details of I need my reunion.
You know, I did go back to the park and, you know, the reunion was grossly compromised by them.
As soon as Smooshy recognized me was coming towards me, they pulled her back.
They kept her away.
I was, you know, I threw half conniption.
But nonetheless, I'm now going after the money as well.
So, you know, it can be said that I'll probably bankrupt.
I'm looking forward to that day.
Well, you'll throw a very unique, specific party when that happens.
The question was, Urgencies is a not-for-profit based out of Canada or incorporated in the States?
Yeah, so we're registered in Canada, but moving forward, we are intent on becoming 501c3, registered in the U.S. It's just a question of getting lawyers involved and putting together our Board of Governors, etc., but all in the works.
And frankly, it seems a lot of our work is...
You know, Canada just doesn't have a lot of these facilities, and it's great that we've all but reduced marine land to dust, but Chapter 2 is certainly coming into the States and doing some advocacy work there.
We're already well on our way, and that seems to be where we're going.
The other question that I had, how can people support it?
Are you open for donations and that type of financial support?
So as we speak, on account of the fact that I've been sued, I have a website, fightforlolita.com.
It's a GoFundMe.
It covers legal expenditures, travel expenses.
It might even buy me a beer when I'm over here.
Some people insist very often, they're like, this one's for a beer.
So it's like, okay.
But people are able to support me there if they wish.
But of course, very soon we'll be launching our website and then there'll be a key.
A space where people are free to donate to the urgencies.
Now you said GoFundMe and that was not a slip for Give, Send, Go.
You're actually using GoFundMe?
I've been using it for 12 years.
It's the only one I know of.
Listen, I'm looking forward to the day when I never use them again.
It's well in the works and I'm guessing I'll be accepting donations only up until probably January 1 and then once the website is launched.
And we're doing this work literally as we speak.
Wonderful.
Appreciate that, and I will.
Okay, so now, from what I understood, we spoke for two minutes before we got started.
There is some breaking news coming out of Canada's Marineland.
Correct.
So weeks ago, about a week in advance of our publishing the Free Romeo video, we published a video of a clearly dying beluga whale.
And for those who don't know, we've got a big problem at Marineland since 2019.
You know, best estimates are that there's about 25 or then some whales that have died.
The government has been steadfastly watching all of this and doing nothing.
And so no one's holding Marineland accountable, and so we are.
I published a follow-up video.
It shows that the beluga whale subsequently died.
And so by way of all of this today, you know, we're not only viral in the U.S. for the work we're doing, but, you know, as well, we're getting attention now in Canada for breaking the news of another beluga whale that's died.
This is today from the Canadian press.
I'll read it afterwards, but 15 beluga whales have died since 2019?
So I'm going to say more because there's at least a number of beluga whales that could have been born and subsequently died in 2020.
But on account of COVID, it was hard to get an actual eye on them.
But in 2019, we passed a law, Bill S203, which banned beluga or rather whale dolphin and porpoise breeding.
And so Marineland used to breed between five and seven beluga whales.
Again, in 2019, we've got an affidavit saying that they had 58 belugas, but that's before the last round of birth between five and seven belugas.
So it can be said that in 2020, there will have been 63 beluga whales, and now they're down to 36. That's ridiculous.
Now, also, I know it, we've discussed it before, but the legislation that you were a part of having passed in Canada...
Correct.
In addition to import and export.
Now, the government is able to sign off on exports, which we know that the government did approve last year when they sent five beluga whales to Mystic Aquarium.
And by way of breaking news only a few days ago, a third of those five beluga whales have since has died.
And again, that's news that's just making headlines as we speak as well.
Do they know why?
Of what?
Is there an illness going around?
All I can say, all I can suggest is all of Marineland's animals are compromised.
That's why, you know, getting smooshy out when we did, it can be said, will have saved her life.
It saved her calf's life.
There's no question about it.
Every animal that is either in or, you know, it sounds like from Marineland is sadly at risk and poses risks for these other facilities as well.
I imagine Mystic Aquarium is probably no longer inclined to...
you know to get any more of these beluga whales despite you know best intentions if you will but yeah there's a big problem uh it's the water the water over there and i've been when i was a whistleblower in 2012 on account the fact that i stressed that the water was going to kill all these animals and here we are and what about the water acidity uh chlorination i don't know how they keep it clean if you've never changed a filter in your fish tank and so assumes the marine line was built in and around 1967 i believe There's never been a water filtration change.
There's never been sand filter change.
The sand is still the same.
So, you know, take any fish in a fishbowl, put it on the stovetop, put it on low, and watch that water go to shit over a decade.
And, you know, there's not a whole heck of a lot of questions as to what's happened.
You know, you're taking marine mammals that are otherwise in really cold environments in the Arctic and you're putting them in the beating hot sun.
And, you know, with the archaic system, you know, much of these facilities have been born, were built in the 50s and 60s, and there's no incentive.
You haven't really heard of these new expanses outside of the new sea world that's Abu Dhabi.
You haven't heard of new expanses, any investment into whale facilities, etc.
The same can be said of their filtration systems.
They're archaic and all breaking down.
Miami Sea Aquarium, same thing.
I'll boldly say the water was killing those animals.
That's ridiculous.
And Marineland in Canada shuts down for six months a year?
Like, it's not open during the winter season.
So what happens during the winter season?
Well, that's when you're down to very few staff members and very little incentive to do anything until about two weeks before the park opens when there's a hectic cleanup operation.
And now you mentioned also with the manatees being sunburned.
I never actually even thought of that.
That's decades in...
The water might have been, I don't know, what, 10 feet deep at best?
And when they're sitting there floating at the surface, they're just getting sunburnt.
There was no meaningful shade that I saw.
And because the manatees were actually in salt water, it increases their buoyancy.
They had a harder time getting down to avoid that.
Whereas, you know, manatees spend the majority of their time in freshwater, and thankfully they're now in freshwater.
So to actually be able to see them in a more natural environment, of course, no, not more, like, because we know it's not a natural environment that they're in now, but it further replicates it versus out of the sea aquarium.
You see the immediate changes.
Their skin is really improving quickly.
That's phenomenal.
So the...
Protest party tomorrow.
What time does it start at?
Where is it at?
At the Miami Sea Quorum, 11 a.m.
We'll have dancing manatees.
It'll be a visceral experience.
It'll be an auditory experience.
If it's wet and wild, then that's exactly what it'll be.
So bring on the rain.
We don't have the luxury.
The animals don't have the luxury of changing their environment.
So, you know, if we got to subsequently suffer a little bit with them, then that's what we'll do.
We'll be there.
Fantastic.
And the rest of your...
The rest of your trip in Florida, what do you have planned?
Well, I just came out of my hot tub meeting and I'm hoping to maybe reunite with that team and keep that meeting going at some point.
So yeah, maybe hot tubs and meetings would be great.
But yeah, we did our mission yesterday.
We got to reunite with the manatees.
We'll get the protests set and done.
And then thereafter, hopefully for a moment, I'll just put my feet up before my flight the following day.
Phil, I tell you, I'll say this again.
I've known you now.
We met for the first time in 2018, right?
Or 2019.
You look younger now, five years later, than you did back then.
Having gotten rid of that lawfare stress of your life and the purpose that you found, it's amazing.
And it reflects on your spirit.
Have I forgotten to ask you anything that you absolutely want to tell the world before we...
No, you're always thorough as always.
It's always a pleasure.
So, okay, we're going to see each other.
Hopefully I'll be able to make it down.
But if I don't make it down tomorrow, we've met today and maybe over the holidays in Canada.
We'll see.
Great.
Send me all of the links that you want people to find you at.
I'll put it in the pinned comment on both YouTube and Rumble.
Wonderful.
Thanks, Viva.
All right, man.
Have a good one.
Don't get arrested.
Good luck to me.
Bye-bye.
Oh, I was there the last time when I went to the Sea Queer, and I'm making my video, and I see a process server showing up.
He's like, is Phil here?
And I saw him looking at his paper, because he had a picture, I guess, and looking at people.
This process server was looking to serve a lawsuit.
And I'm a lawyer, so I know these things.
And I'm like, I'm looking over his shoulder.
He's like, oh yeah, that's a lawsuit.
And he's like, looking.
And then he sees somebody who I guess he thought was Phil DeMaris.
And he's like, I got you.
He's like, dude, I'm not Phil DeMaris.
Don't give me that lawsuit.
And the guy's like, are you sure you're not Phil DeMaris?
I was like, dude.
So let's see.
Imagine suing.
I mean, I can imagine suing Phil because he's...
Shining that Robert Gouveia watching the Watchers.
Big, bright, shiny light on animals in captivity.
The Miami Sea Aquarium was objectively depressing.
They have a big, big, deep pool where they have dolphins or at least a couple of dolphins.
And I remember I'm looking in there.
The dolphins playing with a ball, like throwing it down.
And because of the buoyancy of the ball, it's rising back up into its mouth.
And there was a couple, like an elderly lady with a grandkid or...
Looking at this, it's like, oh, look how cute.
The animal's playing ball.
And I'm like, dude, that's what it's doing.
But what it's doing is that repetitive behavior of intelligent animals in captivity.
Just, you know, like the elephant in a zoo, just, you know, continually rocking its head.
It was not natural.
It did not look happy, although to the untrained eye, it could look happy.
This higher order, intelligent animal.
The dolphin in particular.
Some people think dolphins are more intelligent than humans.
In a freaking pool for decades.
With a ball.
Like a prisoner bouncing a rubber ball off the wall.
So that's it.
Before we head over to Rumble, do we want to watch a little more manatee porn?
No, I'm joking.
Now I kind of want to see what a manatee weenie looks like.
That's the good news of the day, people.
A concrete example of one man, one human.
Although he has a team, making a difference.
And Phil has done some amazing stuff.
It's actually amazing.
And I wasn't saying that to Phil to stroke his ego.
I remember interviewing him during the height of his Marineland litigation lawfare.
Nobody can understand the stress of litigation until you've litigated it or until you've been the victim of it.
How Trump is...
Looking younger and younger by the day, despite what's going on with him.
He's cut from a different cloth.
But Phil Damaris, once that litigation ended, it was like an immediate switch.
And he looked better, younger, and he's looking better and younger than ever.
Okay, so we're going to end this on YouTube.
There's the link to local.
That's to Rumble.
If you are so inclined to head on over to Locals, you can watch it there as well, vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
And before we go over, just going to thank the sponsor one more time and say, if you want to sleep well in beautiful sheets, CozyEarth.com, promo code VIVA, up to 40% off your order.
And yeah, it'll ship.
We got time.
You got time before Christmas, people.
So that's it.
Links in the description.
We're going to end it on YouTube.
And we're going to go talk about, on Rumble, what are we going to talk about?
Hunter Biden's...
Presser.
Oh my goodness.
It's eight minutes of verbal diarrhea, but there's a lot to read into it.
Vivek Ramaswamy.
On that CNN town hall.
Oh my goodness.
What's her name?
Abby Phillips?
Can you imagine?
I'm realistic about my skill set.
I have a very select skill set.
I'm realistic about my skill set.
I should be doing that.
Oh my goodness.
It was a debacle of a joke.
Let me just go back to my list here.
What do we got?
We got that.
And we're going to do some more Canadian stuff.
They're coming after burping cows in Canada, people.
And it's not the onion.
It's Justin Trudeau.
And some other good stuff.
So we're going to end on YouTube.
Come on over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com or Rumble, the free speech platform, now.
Booyah.
40 minutes, 18 seconds in.
Let me see what's going on over on Rumble.
Okay, we're good.
We're doing here.
Talk about...
Oh, hold on.
Let me just...
End that.
Okay, boom.
They're blaming the lobster traps for the...
Oh, I don't know if that's about the right whales.
Those sea windmills are killing the fisheries, says Honor234.
I want to try to get Schellenberger on.
Or Schellenberg.
It's Schellenberg to talk about his work showing that those offshore...
Windmills?
They're not called windmills.
Wind turbines are killing the whales, attracting the whales, and interfering with the whales.
And yeah, they're blaming it on the fishing.
The lobster things.
Okay, so let's see what we got here.
Hail, Robert Govea, says Jacob Castro.
White Sparrow.
Yes, the big, beautiful spotlight of public attention.
It's the only thing that can hold, you know...
Corporations, to some extent, governments accountable.
Enough of the public backlash.
Enough of the public scrutiny.
And speaking of which, what do we start with?
Let's share a screen.
Let's go to Vivek Ramaswamy.
Vivek Ramaswamy.
On the CNN Town Hall.
I wanted to talk about this yesterday, but the interview that I had with John Beaudoin Sr. went almost two hours.
If you haven't seen it, go watch yesterday's stream.
The first 38 minutes is talking about whether or not George Floyd's death certificate had been modified at one point because the CDC listed as the code for cause of death basically fentanyl overdose, drug toxicity, drug overdose.
And yet a man was convicted of, what was it, second degree murder?
So the question is whether or not at some point...
The data was changed because the descriptions don't necessarily fit the code.
But we talked about that, and then we just started talking about COVID stats, and it was phenomenal.
So I wanted to talk about this yesterday, didn't get to it, and we're going to break it down right now.
They are coming after Vivek hard because Vivek is speaking a little too much truth.
It's a wild thing.
They don't go after the people who lie.
They don't go after the people who are not a threat.
Because they don't view them as a threat.
There's no point dispensing energy on that which is not a threat.
It's quite clear they view Vivek as a threat, maybe not necessarily as a presidential candidate, as a populist voice, as someone who's going to have an influential role in a Trump administration.
Who knows?
Maybe, just maybe, Vivek Ramaswamy, at a level that's, you know, one notch up from the vivas of the world, at a notch up that's, you know, from the internet commentators, he's just got a bit...
Bigger of a spotlight.
So when crazy Canadian far-right-wing extremist Viva says January 6th was an inside job, was a setup, was an absolute false flag in some sense, well, okay, you know, the Journal de Montréal might pick up on it.
When Vivek gets up in the fourth RNC debate and says to the world January 6th was a setup, that irks people a little more.
That's a bit bigger of a bullhorn.
So he does a town hall.
I couldn't see the whole thing.
And this is the clip.
It's a thing of beauty.
Let me ask you about something that you said at the debate last week.
You used the phrase inside job to describe what happened on January 6th.
The next day, Capitol rioter Alan Hosteller...
By the way, A, let me know if the audio is too jarring in between both of these.
And B, the vocal fry drives me nuts.
The vocal fry is, as far as my life experience goes, a way for people to feign intelligence.
Not to say they're dumb people, but it's a way to feign intelligence and confidence and an air of superiority when you actually don't know what you're talking about.
Sometimes it's just someone's voice, that's fine.
Other times not.
But what's she saying right here?
Oh yeah, so you come up and you say that January 6th was an inside job.
And then just the next day, a man who got 11 years and 3 months for coming...
To the Capitol.
Just spat all over the place.
Coming to the Capitol with a hatchet and some other stuff.
Didn't go into the Capitol.
Didn't actually carry out any violence.
11 years and 3 months.
When I looked and I fact-checked, the average sentence for rape is anywhere between 4 and 19 years.
This man who committed no violence but brought a hatchet to the Capitol.
11 years and 3 months for a 59-year-old man.
That is a life sentence.
And this woman is going to say, look what happens, not realizing that she's proving the point.
That a man who gets sentenced to 11 years and three months because he had a hatchet but committed no violence is evidence of the inside job set up false flag and not evidence against it.
But let's just hear what Abby Phillips, I think, has to say.
January 6th.
The next day, Capitol rioter Alan Hosteller highlighted your comments at his sentencing.
He is going to prison for 11 years.
Hosteter threatened members of Congress.
He brought a hatchet, knives, pepper spray, stun batons, tactical gear to the U.S. Capitol.
Are you concerned that a convicted felon like that is now promoting your cause?
A convicted felon?
Are you concerned that someone else said something you said?
So, here's my concern, Abby.
And I want to tell you guys where I'm at.
If you had told me...
It's close to three years ago that January 6, 2021 happened.
If you had told me three years ago, back when I was a biotech CEO, not steeped in this world, I was just consuming passive media but was focused on my world of developing medicines.
I know that there's people out there who call Vivek Obama 2.0.
He's smooth, he's slick, maybe a little bit too smooth and maybe a little too slick to a flaw.
I can tell you that I can relate to the transition that Vivek is describing right now.
If you had told me...
Two weeks to flatten the curve that three years later I would be on the hashtag Nuremberg 2.0 bandwagon.
I would have said, I have trouble believing that.
If you had just put a side-by-side of me in 2020 and me in 2023, I would say I have trouble conceiving of that.
I can relate to this existential journey that Vivek is describing, and I think many people out there can as well.
If you had told me that January 6th was in any way an inside job, the subject of government entrapment, I would have told you that was crazy talk.
Fringe conspiracy theory nonsense.
I can tell you now, having gone somewhat deep in this, it's not.
I'm going to...
Bonify?
Is that the word?
I'm going to add additional argumentative support to everything that Vivek was trying to say before Abby got the memo.
She's like, shut him down, shut him up, interrupt him.
I know this is a town hall where I'm supposed to ask you questions and let you answer, but no, no, no.
I'm going to interrupt you to the point where it becomes...
Virtually useless, but we're going to make some use of it.
I mean, the reality is this.
We do have a government, first of all, we have to acknowledge that has lied to us systematically over the last several years about the origin of COVID-19, about the Hunter Biden laptop that we were told was false by 51 CIA experts and otherwise before we now know that it was true.
You can go straight down the list, the Trump-Russia disinformation, collusion hoax, all of it.
9-11.
Say it, Vivek.
I'm not...
Going to the degree of what some people think might be the true story versus the official narrative.
Everything.
We know that they were not forthright on a number of things.
I'm just trying to think.
You got 2016, Covington, COVID, GMO, not GMO.
Oh, geez.
Gain of function.
The jab.
It's Ukraine.
It's literally everything.
They have lied to us about everything.
And now we're supposed to sit here and say, that January 6th bullshit committee told us the truth.
They told us the truth, which is why they had to conceal the video footage and delete interviews and destroy evidence.
But believe them.
And you're a crazy person?
I'm sorry.
Now we come to January 6th.
The reality is we know that there were federal law enforcement agents in that field.
We don't know how many.
No, you're not!
Be quiet and let me talk.
No, you're not going to interrupt me.
Shut up and let me talk.
Oh, but Viva's mean.
Viva berated the poor itty bitty babe in the wood journalist.
Because you're saying that there were federal agents in the crowd on January 6th.
There is no evidence that there were federal agents in the crowd on January 6th.
That is a lie.
That is a big, fat, stupid lie, Abby.
I showed the receipts in my video from last week.
FBI informants had infiltrated Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
They refused to say how many were in the crowd and not to deny that there were any because that would be a lie.
No evidence?
Abby, I mean, I know it's CNN.
I know that they're liars.
They're paid liars.
But let's just see what Vivek has to say about this.
Why, before Congress, when pressed on what the number was, they didn't say there were none.
They just couldn't say how many there were.
So you're saying that you have not seen any evidence that there were.
So we've seen multiple informants suggesting that there were.
We know people were FBI informants, so we're asking...
Is there any evidence...
May I just finish this and you can come back and question me?
Well, let me clarify.
I know it's very uncomfortable for you.
I'm going to clarify my question because...
I'm going to clarify my...
This is...
I'm not saying this is not a question of cancel culture.
This is useless.
This is beyond useless.
CNN should go bankrupt.
Period.
It should be out of business.
If anybody watches this and thinks that CNN is looking like an honest journalistic outlet...
They've got to be lobotomized.
I have to do the truth here.
I'm going to clarify my question because I want to make sure that you understand what I'm asking.
Oh, I understand this deeply.
And I told you, I was there three years ago.
I'm not there now.
Where is the evidence?
Yes.
Where is the evidence that the government had a plot?
So let's do this.
An inside job.
I'm not going to let you put words in my mouth.
Where's the evidence that the government was involved?
They had infiltrated the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.
That's how they got their convictions for seditious conspiracy.
They knew for weeks and months in advance, allegedly, of this seditious conspiracy plot.
Oh, and then we knew nothing of January 6th.
Oh, no one was there on January 6th.
Bull crap.
Let's let this go on a little more.
Put my words in my mouth.
And I'm going to tell you what I mean by that.
Where is the evidence that the government was involved in planning or executing January 6th?
So I'm going to give you hard facts.
And if I may, Abby, I know this is going to be a little uncomfortable, but we're going to go through this and you can push back on it after that.
And you can push back on that.
And let's do this fairly.
Why did they suppress footage of now what's been released?
200 hours of footage of shooting rubber bullets into that crowd.
Shooting...
Tear gas into that crowd.
You didn't see that before.
You saw what the response was to that.
Now you see footage coming out of actually rolling out the red carpet for Capitol Police allowing people in right through the front door.
The vast majority of the footage shows...
Mr. Ramaswamy, the vast majority of the footage shows police officers being overrun by violent riders.
Can you believe that she thinks she's actually doing a job of a journalist?
I'm sorry, Abby, was this supposed to be a town hall for you to talk?
It's so enraging, but we have to let this gong show carry on.
No evidence.
We'll get there.
I'm going to give you some hard facts.
So here's what entrapment is.
You can't cherry pick.
I'm not cherry picking.
If I may finish, Abby.
If I may finish, Abby, I'm not cherry picking.
To the contrary.
To the contrary.
You know who cherry picked?
You know who cherry picked?
And say that that is what happened on January 6th.
The government cherry picked 12 hours of footage.
When there was 200 hours of...
Cherry-picking was the government, not me.
Release the whole thing.
And let me just finish one thing, too, because this is super important as a topic.
I think this is a civil libertarian issue of our time.
Gretchen Whitmer's kidnapping.
I want to be really clear on this because it's the same issue in the same FBI, same even part of the FBI.
Three people who were in an alleged plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer were acquitted at the end of trial because it was...
That is, government agents put them up to do something they otherwise wouldn't have done.
They gave them credit cards with spending limits of up to $5,000, encouraged them to buy munitions, planned something they weren't otherwise willing to plan.
So much so, and I want people at home to know this, especially CNN viewers to know this, is that one of the jurors went to those defendants and apologized afterwards, gave him a hug, apologized, seeing what the government had put a poor guy up to.
Who had to go to some Mexican restaurant across the street to get hot water.
These people were exploited with credit cards up to $5,000.
FBI agents putting them up to a kidnapping plot that we were told was true but was entrapment.
Same thing with the Capitol Police.
People letting them in freely.
Many of those people then being charged.
The government cannot put you up to do something and then charge you for it.
That's wrong.
I don't want to have to interrupt you.
I really don't.
But I don't want you to mislead the audience here or at home.
She's the arbiter of truth.
This wasn't a question of letting Ramaswamy talk.
This was a question of them telling what they think is reality.
I don't know how media still has a job, but they do for some reason.
But hold on a second.
Let's just go pull up one AP fact check.
Let's see what AP fact check has to say about this.
When is this from?
This one is from January 11, 2022.
Federal agents didn't orchestrate January 6. How are they going to disprove that?
Let's just go here.
Claim Ray Epps, who was filmed on January 5 and January 6, urging rioters towards the Capitol as a federal agent who helped to orchestrate the insurrection.
Notice how it's a conjunctive.
He's a federal agent who helped orchestrate the insurrection.
He certainly helped orchestrate it.
He took credit for it.
He got one charge of some piddly misdemeanor while a man gets 11 years for having an axe and committing, I don't know, arguably less of an unlawful conduct than Ray Epps.
But you notice how they don't actually address the underlying claim as to whether or not there were agents agent provocateur in the crowd.
They just try to weakly dispel the myth that Ray Epps was one of them.
Get that out of here.
Field of Greens.
Not today.
Talking about the entrapment and you have Abby Phillips saying there's no evidence of that one at least one individual who stumbled across a decent judge with a half a brain said yeah I'm not convicting you when the cops were waving you in opening doors and letting you in I can't convince oh okay oh it's um it's an amazing thing and the more the more sunlight that comes out on that the videos that came out showing the police abuse showing The violent police response,
concussive grenades, the deliberate provocation to trigger a violent reaction from the protesters.
Having known in advance what was going on allegedly, unprepared, understaffed, not calling in the National Guard as they had the authority to do, and then using it to go after everyone.
As if to say, one of the talking points, 850 people were arrested and convicted.
That's how...
This was weaponized and why it was allowed to occur in the first place.
And they want to get hung up on the inside job, false flag, whatever those things have ambiguous meaning sometimes.
Vivek is right.
He's saying it loud and louder than any of the other GOP candidates.
And Abby Phillips.
Disgraceful.
Okay, we had to talk about that one.
We had to get it off the list because it was sitting there for too long.
And we had to get to it.
But hold on.
Ginger Ninja?
1776?
Sooner than later, having 1776 in your handle is going to be a criminal offense.
I'll start from the first one.
Yesterday's interview was perfection.
I have many boomer friends who are of the G.W. Bush political mindset.
The way John Beaudoin laid everything out was mind-blowing.
I've shared it with several.
Friends that are easily forgetting what happened during COVID-19, they are the type that don't want to hear the conspiracies, but yesterday's stream will be a perfect way to kick in that door.
Good, good.
Ginger Ninja, the man who made this beautiful chess set right behind me.
My dog is...
Side note, by the way, Pudge ate an entire gingerbread cookie house.
And what we were anticipating as...
Explosive diarrhea.
Hold on, I'm gonna go ahead and just get rid of Hunter dick pics because that is spamming forever.
The dog ate an entire gingerbread house.
I don't know why it was put in a position where the dog either used a tool to shake it onto the floor.
We were waiting for the explosive diarrhea.
It hasn't happened yet.
And it's been almost 24 hours, so...
Fingers crossed, people.
I'm going to go through this.
So hold on.
We got WDaisyGirl says, please remove the spam.
Let me know who the spam is.
I got Hunter dick pics out.
So if there's any other spammers, let me know.
But spammers are different than trollers with irritating or unpopular opinions.
We can let them have their freedom of speech.
Okay, so that's one video that's absolutely annoying to watch.
Hunter Biden showed up apparently at the wrong building two days ago.
Defying a subpoena.
And as it goes, you know, it's not hierarchy.
I know Bongino says it's hierarchy and a lot of people say it's hierarchy.
It's just lawlessness.
And maybe we're describing the exact same thing where hierarchy, when it comes to unfair application of the laws, results in lawlessness.
And so it might be a distinction without a difference.
But Hunter Biden came up and gave what is...
You know, a very, very well-drafted, scripted speech that he was reading.
So you know it comes from the heart.
You know it's true to his heart.
It's his life experience.
So obviously, he would need to read a pre-drafted statement about how he's here.
Come talk.
I'm here!
I'm talking!
But I'm not coming to respect your subpoena because I'm currently being indicted in California and now I have to shut my mouth.
And I got the memo from my dad.
It's, shut your face and we'll pardon you.
If and when.
Let's hear what he had to say.
This is my take on this.
Whether or not we get through all eight minutes of it, we'll see.
I think it's worth listening to because I don't think most people watch the source material and it's not that much time.
That's very loud.
Hold on a second.
Let me just lower that a little bit.
That sounds like it's too loud.
Here, let's go like that.
Okay.
Legitimate questions Chairman Comer and the House Oversight Committee may have for me.
By the way, you didn't hear that part, but he says I'm here for any legitimate questions.
Legitimate questions.
I'll decide what's a legitimate question.
Oh, did I engage in sex trafficking?
That's not a legitimate question.
Did I pay my father back for a bunch of 10%?
That's not a legitimate question.
I'll decide what the legitimate question is.
I'm here today to make sure that the House Committee's illegitimate investigations of my family Do not proceed on distortions, manipulated evidence, and lies.
Stop it.
And I'm here today.
Distorted evidence, lies.
I would like Hunter to name one lie.
The only lies in all of this.
Do you remember that interview that he gave?
Where it's like, is it your computer?
Who knows?
I don't know if it's my computer.
It could be Russia.
They could have done anything to it.
Did you leave your computer there with that guy?
I don't know!
Who knows?
They continue to deny when there has not been one piece of evidence that has been proven to be a lie, dishonest, inaccurate.
Quite on the contrary, the entire laptop has been shown to be authentic.
I mean, this is shown to be authentic despite 51 intelligence officers signing off on a letter saying it bears the earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.
What does that mean?
It means that for anybody else who are overseas, anyone on the other side of the political aisle who has been convicted of trafficking, accused of, this is what they do to their adversaries.
That's what it means.
When they accuse Russia of doing this to Hunter and Joe, it means that this is what they do to others.
And we know that.
To acknowledge that I've made mistakes in my life and wasted opportunities and privileges I was afforded.
For that, I'm responsible.
For that, I'm accountable.
And for that, I'm making amends.
What's really eerie or scary is that I see his father's intonation.
I see Joe Biden when he was talking about the super predators gonna beat your mother with a pipe and that's why you gotta lock up an entire generation of black Americans.
Oh, he didn't say black Americans.
I think they just went with super predators.
I see Joe Biden's when he was not a senile, demented old man who's being used as a pawn by the deep state apparatus as a tool.
I see Joe Biden.
But I'm also here today to correct how the MAGA right has portrayed me for their political purposes.
The MAGA right.
My goodness, that sounds like a phrase his father uses.
Is it possible that his father's campaign drafted this?
The MAGA right?
I mean, if he had said extreme MAGA Republicans, we would have known that Hakeem Jeffries wrote this speech for him.
The MAGA right.
What the funny thing is...
I don't think, maybe I'm wrong, I don't think I've ever heard Hunter use the term MAGA right.
Correct me, Chad, if I'm wrong on that.
I don't think I've ever heard him and I think I've paid enough attention.
It struck my ears as, oh, that's daddy talking.
Hey son, shut your mouth, read the script, the next 12 months will be a little bit rocky and you're going to get a pardon.
Mess around and daddy's going to lock you up and you still won't get to talk.
I am first and foremost a son, a father, a brother, and a husband.
I swear to you this echoes of prior speeches that I've heard Joe Biden give.
From a loving and supportive family.
Yeah, how loving was your family, Hunter?
I think someone else might have issues with how much of a loving family they came from.
Not talking about anyone's diary in particular.
Probably not the right word that a child would use.
But I'm telling you, this is a POTUS-drafted, POTUS-administration, deep state-drafted memo.
I'm proud to have earned degrees from Georgetown University and Yale Law School.
I'm proud of my legal career and business career.
I'm proud of me.
I'm proud of my time serving on a dozen different boards of directors.
I'm proud of having served on a dozen boards as different...
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm proud of me.
I've accomplished all of these things.
It has nothing to do with being bought on...
I was serving on the board of directors while I was an incapacitated, dysfunctional crack addict.
I'm proud of me.
I built this.
And I'm proud of my efforts to forge global business relationships.
To forge global business relationships.
Some people call that pay-to-play.
It's an amazing thing.
Opposition research, blackmail material.
Fabricating opposition research, you know, good politics.
Corruption politics.
Trafficking, saving children.
I mean, it depends on who you ask.
For six years, MAGA Republicans, including members of the House committees who are in a closed-door session right now, have impugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, my children.
I don't think anyone's attacked his children.
My family and my friends.
They've ridiculed my struggle with addiction.
They've belittled my recovery.
And they have tried to dehumanize me, all to embarrass and damage my father, who has devoted his...
I'm telling you, he does not want to be reading this.
All to damage my father.
I'm not trying to even be glib.
There are certain natural body reflexes.
The behavior panel will tell me if I'm totally out to lunch.
There are certain things you can't control.
And it's like his body is physically reacting to the rubbish that he's being compelled to speak.
Look at this.
Family and my friends.
He didn't have a problem there.
They ridiculed my struggle with addiction.
They belittled my recovery.
And they have tried to dehumanize me.
All to embarrass and damage my father.
Who has devoted his entire public life to service.
He had trouble getting that one out.
For six years.
I have been the target of the unrelenting Trump attack machine shouting, where's Hunter?
Well, here's my answer.
I am here.
You're just, unfortunately, is that, did I?
Unfortunately, you're just, you're at the wrong place.
Like, yeah, I was there for the job interview.
Oh, were you at office, office too?
Oh, no, I was in the bathroom, but I was there for the job interview.
My father was not financially involved in my business.
Not as a practicing lawyer.
Let's listen in to Hunter Biden.
...legitimate questions Chairman Comer and the House Oversight Committee may have for me.
I'm here today to make sure that the House Committee is a legitimate investor.
Well, that would explain why it was...
I thought it was only five minutes, and then I was wondering, why was it eight minutes?
Because I'm an idiot and I replayed it.
Let me state as clearly as I can.
My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investment.
He voted his entire public life to service.
We're not playing semantics here.
We're going to focus on the words.
My dad was not financially involved with.
It's true.
Did he make any financial investments?
Nope.
Listen to this.
For six years, I have been the target of the unrelenting Trump attack machine shouting, where's Hunter?
I mean, it had nothing to do with you being a deadbeat dad trying to screw your ex out of support.
It has nothing to do with you being a drug addict lying on felony firearm applications and then unlawfully disposing of that unlawfully procured firearm in a dumpster behind a school.
It had nothing to do with accusations, plausible accusations.
Plausible accusations that you were involved in human sex trafficking.
It has nothing to do with that.
No, it's all political, Hunter.
You're very proud of yourself.
You're a very accomplished human.
It's all been done on your own merits.
And if you were anybody else, you wouldn't have been locked up many, many years ago.
But wait for the phrasing.
Well, here's my answer.
I am here.
Just not at the right place.
Let me state as clearly as I can.
My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer.
My dad was not financially involved in my business.
To the extent that his dad never made a capital contribution, this will be true.
I mean, I'm not financially involved in Ford Motors, but they pay me a dividend if I own their stock.
I'm not financially involved in their business, but I still reap some dividend benefits from that.
It's amazing how that works, eh?
Collect dividends or are paid out of an enterprise that you're financially invested in it.
It's just 10% for the big guy.
Not as a board member of Burisma.
Not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman.
So not in my involvement in a corrupt Ukrainian company that's actually based in, I want to say Cyprus, but I might be wrong.
He was not financially involved in my...
He wasn't financially involved in my Chinese businessman connection.
Investments at home nor abroad and certainly not as an artist.
He was not invested in me as an artist.
Hunter Biden is an artist.
And when that woman...
Who bought his artwork for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Who then, you know, that investment paid dividends when she had her family, her great niece, I believe, released as the first round of hostages released from the Hamas in Gaza.
Oh, no, no.
He was not involved in, he was not financially involved in my, what did he say?
Business as an artist?
Not in my investments at home nor abroad.
And certainly not as an artist.
And by the way, you know what's funny there?
He almost sounds resentful.
Certainly not.
Look.
Not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman.
Not in my investments at home nor abroad.
And certainly not as an artist.
He certainly never supported me as an artist.
Dad, I always wanted to be.
That's the only, like, sincere resentment that I got there.
Except he's not resentful at MAGA America.
He's resentful at his father who never supported him in his artistic ventures.
Look at that.
Not in my investments at home or abroad.
And certainly not.
And certainly not as an artist.
He never supported me as an artist.
You son of a bitch.
During my battle with addiction.
I hate you, Dad.
My parents were there for me.
They literally saved my life.
That's technically true.
I mean, they gave him a new life.
They saved his life, man.
Anybody else who trafficked women, did that much coke or cracked meth, whatever that is that it rotted out your teeth, they saved his life because he would have been probably dead or in jail in anybody else's family.
They helped me in ways that I will never be able to repay.
But 10% for the big guy will certainly contribute.
Of course they would never expect me to.
It's, it's...
That also is a very, very telling thing.
Of course, they would never expect me to.
What kind of kid would ever say that?
I can't ever repay them, and they would never expect me to.
That's a bizarre thing to say, unless they expect him to repay them.
They helped me in ways that I will never be able to repay.
And of course, they would never expect me to.
Oh, of course, there's no 10% for the big guy.
And in the depths of my addiction, I was extremely irresponsible with my finances.
That's the understatement of the year.
Suggest that as grounds for an impeachment inquiry is beyond the absurd.
Well, nobody's suggesting the impeachment inquiry because you blew through millions of dollars on coke, hookers, and adult entertainment.
We want to know why Biden's brother, with whom he was a business associate, allegedly, according to Marco Polo, unidentified businessman number three.
I think it's in the Chinese ventureship.
I might be wrong.
It's not in Burisma.
But businessman number three?
According to Marco Polo, is Joe Biden's brother, who was taking his share, too.
And, you know, Joe Biden's brother then repaying $240,000 to his brother.
Loan repayment!
We just hadn't seen any of that loan documentation yet.
It's shameless.
It's shameless.
There's no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business.
10% for the big guy.
Loan repayments.
But we just haven't seen the underlying loan documents.
Because it did not happen.
Oh, okay.
James Comer, Jim Jordan, Jason Smith, and their colleagues have distorted the facts.
That little thing where it says $240,000 for a loan repayment the day that I got the money from a bankrupt company, James Baker, James Biden.
There's no evidence.
You're distorting the facts.
That was a loan repayment.
It says it right there on the check.
Don't be dense.
By cherry picking lines from a bank statement.
Manipulating texts I sent.
I don't know about that.
Editing the testimony of my friends and former business partners.
Editing.
I think they gave pretty clear unedited testimony.
Your business partners gave pretty clear testimony, Hunter.
And misstating personal information that was stolen from me.
It legally was not stolen.
You abandoned it.
And I think you abandoned it on purpose because you want to destroy your father because you're deeply resentful of him, his treatment of you as a kid.
And Ashley Biden was doing the same thing.
And you just, in this comedy, you just can't do it.
Because now they're saying, hey, Hunter, you know, you really messed up when you left that laptop there.
We tried to pass it off as Russian disinformation, but that only got us so far.
I mean, that got us into the White House.
You're going to go to jail.
For 17 years, unless you shut your mouth, read this damn script, and then you'll get part.
Don't do it, by the way.
You'll go to jail at best.
You know, that old FBI.
You want a peanut butter sandwich?
There is no fairness or decency in what these Republicans are doing.
Oh, by the way, yeah, there's no evidence that his father had any...
Didn't he pay a pimp?
From his father's bank account by accident?
Oh, there's no way.
But that wasn't an investment in my business.
That was an investment in my leisure.
I needed to get my rocks off in order to Burisma properly.
Oh, that's no evidence.
Oh, it's just totally par for the course.
I mean, there's no blackmail material there that, you know, your dad, who's, I don't know what his position was at the time, but now he's president, paid a pimp accidentally because you used the wrong bank account?
You didn't go to your pimp funds.
You went to Joe Biden funds.
But there's no evidence of anything.
It's all cherry-picked misstating of the facts.
It wasn't a pimp.
What he really was was a women's liberationist, an activist, actively pursuing sexual freedom for the women that Hunter Biden was, you know.
They have lied over and over about every aspect of my personal and professional life.
So much so that their lies have become the false facts believed by too many people.
No matter how many times it is debunked, they continue to insist that my father's support of Ukraine against Russia is the result of a non-existent bribe.
They displayed naked photos of me during an oversight hearing.
He looks proud of that.
And they have taken the light of my dad's love.
The light of my dad's love for me and presented it as darkness.
I'm telling you, that's the second time in this speech where he has difficulty, unless it was repeat for emphasis.
It's the second time and it's on the point of his father.
This man deeply hates his father.
There's no question about it.
They have no shame.
These same committee chairmen have engaged in unprecedented political interference in what would have already been a five-year investigation of me.
Yeah, what did that five-year investigation reveal?
That the investigators allowed many of the tax charges to lapse, inexplicably so, according to Jonathan Turley.
They let some lapse.
They tried to sneak through a crooked...
Sweetheart is not the right word.
Corrupt deal.
But for, I think it's Judge Aileen Cannon.
You would have been like, oh man, you would have been on a Caribbean island with more hookers and more coaxing.
You would have been living large had that deal just gone through.
And it got blown up.
Oh no, but there's no corruption there.
It was five years of investigation.
They found nothing.
Except for...
Crimes.
Alleged crimes.
Look at this.
I mean, I don't even want to show you this stuff.
I actually can't even show you this stuff.
I don't know.
Five years?
It's like when they say Hillary Clinton was investigated so many times they found nothing.
Not quite the same, Hunter.
Yet, here I am, Mr. Chairman.
Wrong place.
Taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose.
You do know you're not in front of...
Congress right now, right?
You know where you are, Hunter?
Maybe you don't.
I'm here.
Oh, I'm here.
I am here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committee's legitimate questions.
Legitimate questions.
There you go again.
Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics.
Oh, I think they do.
Expose their baseless inquiry.
Oh, they're not baseless.
Or hear what I have to say.
Let's hear it.
I'm here.
But I'm not talking to you.
What are they afraid of?
I'm here.
I'm ready.
I'm just at the wrong place, and I'm not going to answer your questions.
Oh my goodness.
So that was...
I mean, you watch this.
If you had never watched it before, it must be watched.
The news summarizing it does not do it any justice.
I'm here.
I'm ready, but I'm at the wrong place and I'm not answering your questions.
And now I'm going to plead the fifth if I ever do.
I'm going to defy a congressional subpoena.
Bannon's, you know, appealing a jail time for it.
Who else went to jail for...
Who were the ones that were convicted of contempt of Congress, defying congressional subpoenas?
I think it was Bannon.
Eric Holder, I believe, was found to be in contempt of Congress.
But, you know, they don't go after them because it's capital D different.
Honor234 says, what a tard.
Are we allowed?
Is that word back in the vernacular of society?
I think it should be because I think it got wrongly maligned and it actually has a very literal and more often than not accurate, applicable definition.
Navarro, you're right.
Man, FM11.
Bannon.
Yeah, that's it.
I think that's it.
That is...
I'm not reading that.
So that was Hunter Biden.
I mean, it would be funny if it were funny.
It's tragic.
I'm not saying it's the fall of Rome because I don't think it's there yet.
I'm optimistic for America.
If I weren't, this would not be where I would be looking to wage the battle against the tyranny.
But can you imagine what the rest of the world is thinking about this?
First of all...
Who on earth or who in America is so ignorant that they look at that or they listen to that speech and say, oh my goodness, I didn't realize what they're doing to Hunter is so unfair.
I mean, someone said that was drafted and written and read for The View.
And it was.
There are people out there who are going to listen to that and say, oh my goodness, it's so wrong what they're doing to this guy.
Not knowing.
Do we want to play a game?
I'm just going to flip open to a random page.
And if it's not...
It's amazing.
Here, I just flipped to one page.
Beretta wasn't the only John to violate the pharaoh on behalf of Burisma.
John Herbst, the director of the Eurasia Center at the infamous Atlantic Council think tank, also pleaded with Yovanovitch about Zlokhevsky, Dan Freed.
Herbst's colleague also illegally lobbied U.S. official George Kent.
That's the stuff that doesn't have the sex stuff in it.
I mean, if you don't know what's in this report, you haven't watched my interview with Garrett Ziegler, and you haven't read the report.
P. Moyer says, was it Alex Christofaru who said this on his video yesterday?
It is very true that Joe wasn't involved in Hunter's business.
Hunter was involved in Joe's business.
I don't know if Alex said it, and that's not to say that I don't listen to Alex or the Duran all the time.
But that wording, look, I'm able to think like a deceitful lawyer.
I'm just not able to act like one.
That's why I'm no longer a lawyer.
He was not financially involved.
Yeah.
What does that mean?
What does that possibly mean?
If someone pays me something, I'm not involved in their business, but I'm deriving a benefit from it.
So, so long as there was no capital contribution.
It's true.
He was not financially involved.
Oh, well, he peddled influence.
Well, that's not finances.
So still true, not financially involved.
He didn't give me money.
He just introduced me to people.
Yeah, technically it's true.
Oh.
Hunter's just the bag man, says 808 bill.
No question.
It's obvious.
And like Barnes astutely pointed out from that indictment out of California.
You know, where they say instead of paying your taxes, you paid for hookers, adult entertainment, drugs, $1.6 million in cash withdrawals over four years.
The only way you could do that, by the way, is because you were giving your PIN code and allowing hookers, drug dealers, to withdraw cash from your account to pay for the hookers and to pay for the drugs.
You don't want a receipt trail for that.
You don't want a little Venmo transaction or a PayPal transaction.
It's not just the criminal disposal of the funds.
All of those funds were the results of criminal activity.
Allegedly.
And Joe Biden was just, you know, sitting there.
Getting paid for the house.
10% for the big guy.
Loan repayments from his brother.
The good life.
Alright, what else do we have here?
So that's the video.
Now you've seen it.
Do we want to go to the cow farts in Canada?
Let's go from one verbal diary.
Let's go from one gaseous emission to another.
Now, admittedly, I'm not thoroughly down with this yet, but this is coming out of, what is this outlet?
It was Calgary Herald.
Ottawa comes down hard on methane burping cows.
Are humans next?
The federal government goes after cow farts, but the biggest methane culprits are humans, especially me.
No, no, no.
Federal government begins its assault on cow burps and farts with the following inspirational message.
Quote, enteric fermentation is a natural digestive process in ruminants whereby microbial populations of the digestive system assist in the breakdown of feed into more readily available molecules and nutrients.
As part of this process, a portion of the feed is converted into methane and released back into the atmosphere by cattle as the enteric emissions through their ruckus.
Eructation?
That sounds like fart and burps is what they're going to say right now.
So true.
Oh.
So what are they trying to get at here?
The problem is real has been keen interest to Alberta politicians for decades.
Today, your federal government does know methane erudicated and flatulated by cattle is a secondary but subsidiary cause of climate change.
There's no end to it.
They're going to penalize people who have dietary, you know, Okay, we fart.
What's the legislation here?
Here we go.
Much of this is written, although one has to wonder about the accuracy of the facts and figures.
Who can ensure?
Yada, yada, yada.
Regardless, Ottawa is on the case.
The Feds chose Food and Agricultural Day at the COP28 conference in Dubai to release its policy on cattle emissions.
According to the draft presented, farmers who reduce emissions from their herd will earn credits they can sell.
I mean, they did this with carbon emissions.
Now they're going to do it with fart emissions.
A fart gas market.
The announcement even gives credits to Alberta.
The draft reduction enteric methane emissions from beef cattle protocol was informed by Alberta's offset protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from cattle.
Oh, my goodness.
As usual, Ottawa presents on climate change as advantageous both scientifically and economically.
They're coming after cow farts, people.
I'm not even going to go through the rest of the article.
It starts off as a joke, and then it becomes reality.
It's fine to put targets out there, but we need a plan to be able to get to those targets.
If the government was serious about reaching...
Ottawa continues to drop measures on one sector after another.
The liberals are so zealous, in fact, they might even announce low-emission targets for humans.
Personally, in return, for a one-ton credit, I would forsake some key human fart fabricators.
Beans, milks, yada, yada, but draw a line of beer.
It's actually happening.
What starts off as a joke becomes reality, becomes policy.
Can you imagine...
This is Parkinson's law of mundanity.
The government can't figure big stuff out.
While it simultaneously promotes foreign conflict with environmental consequences, they want to pinpoint cow farts and cow burps to improve the environment.
While Trudeau flies around on his jet, I'd like to know what his carbon footprint is to tell us about the woes and the emergency.
Environment crisis.
It's not a joke anymore.
Viva, the biggest release of methane gas.
Nord Stream Pipeline.
That's coming from Hyphen.
Always in with the astute observation.
They promote foreign conflict.
Sabotage the...
I believe they were in on it.
Maybe not Trudeau, but definitely the West.
World War.
Endless war.
Weapons manufacturing.
Weapons sales.
Arms dealing.
But...
You gotta go after the cow farts, people.
And you wonder, like, how did...
Set aside the Holodomor.
I get mixed up between the Holodomor.
Set aside the Ukrainian famine.
You always wonder, like, during socialist takeovers, how do millions of people die of starvation?
How could that possibly happen?
We're witnessing how it can happen in real time.
People are not paying attention to the...
Amount of people dying from starvation in developing countries because of the interruption to the supply chain?
How could it happen in the West?
You let government regulate cow farts and say, in order to save the environment, we've got to basically create conditions that lead to mass starvation.
Look in the Netherlands.
You've got to cut all your beef in half.
Government's going to nationalize and take over farming.
Entities that do nothing but fuck up everything they touch are now going to be in charge of food.
And now I've seen historically, and I can understand it, seeing it in real time, how socialist governments or whatever, communist governments, have led to mass starvation.
And we're seeing something of the same policy today.
Let's go after cows.
Let's interfere with farmers' abilities to be farmers.
I thought that would be the lighthearted joke of the day.
Oh.
All right.
Well, I'm going to save some for locals afterwards.
We're going to talk about Epic winning against Google on Sunday night.
It's interesting.
They won in their antitrust violation of competitive markets.
They won on every aspect of their claim against Google.
For, you know, unlawfully tying in products, charging exorbitant fees because of these agreements that they had, and basically making competition impossible to the detriment of Epic and allegedly to the detriment of everybody else who has to pay more now because of the Google monopoly on the in-app, you know, the App Store.
We're going to talk about that on Sunday for sure.
But I have to talk about this.
The Trump.
The Trump debacle.
I'm going to pull up Leticia James' tweet of today because I know that she put another one out today.
But Leticia James, she's reduced her tweet habits to once a week because I think it was getting too painful to give the daily two minutes of hate updates after every day.
But let me pull this tweet up.
Leticia James, this was from a couple of days ago.
This was December 13th because I wanted to talk about it yesterday.
Leticia James tweeted.
Today we rested our case against Donald Trump for years of financial fraud.
The judge already found that Trump engaged in significant fraud and unjustly enriched himself and his family.
Can you try to reconcile those two statements?
We rested our case today.
That typically means, for those of you who are not lawyers or who have never watched Matlock or even an episode of The Simpsons, Once the prosecution, once the plaintiff has presented their case, we say, do you have any more evidence to do this?
Nope.
We rest our case.
All right.
Now it's up to the defense.
Rebut.
Then the judge says, okay, well now I've heard both sides.
I'm going to adjudicate.
We rested our case today on December 13th or whenever she tweeted this.
The judge already found that Trump was guilty.
I'm sorry, what good does it do?
To rest your case when you've already found the guilt.
I mean, how does it even happen?
These are logically, scientifically, legally, mutually incompatible statements.
But they're there.
We rested our case today.
The judge already found guilt.
Oh, that was an easy case.
How did this happen?
Oh, that's right.
Summary judgment.
Oh, that's right.
How do you have summary judgment where you summarily dismiss expert affidavit evidence?
Oh, I can't consider this expert affidavit because it's based on nothing.
What is the word I'm looking for?
Adversarial process is about.
You don't make summary judgments and dismiss expert affidavits.
But that's what Judge Angeron, New York nipple Judge Angeron, did in this case where we could live in a world right now where the Attorney General says, we rested our case today and we already won.
Welcome to communism, people.
And I put out a...
I wanted to ratio her in that tweet.
Let me see if I can get this.
I wanted to ratio her so badly in that tweet.
I think I did.
Just see what the ratio was here.
And then, you know, short and sweet.
Meh.
I don't think it qualifies as a ratio, but it's pretty good.
I mean, it didn't get more retweets than the original tweet, but...
How did the judge find fraud before you rested your case?
Oh, that's right.
You're both filthy, corrupt communists.
Nearly 800 retweets.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Here, I'll give it to the chat in case anybody wants to go put that out.
But she's not done.
I didn't see what her tweet from today was.
Here.
Link that, people.
Let me just go see what...
It's New York Attorney James put out a video today.
Let's watch this one together in real time.
This is The Daily.
Two hours ago.
Oh.
Oh.
She's back to her room.
After 11 weeks in court.
They arrested their case.
And they won.
It's an amazing thing.
Hold on.
No, I don't want that.
I'm going to put it in incognito because I'm neurotic.
Yeah, let's bring this up.
Let's see what Leticia James has to say about after week 11 of trial in what is absolutely not a corrupt show trial of communistic order.
Let's see this here.
Okay, bring it back.
Maximize.
This is my first time hearing it.
So let's just see what we have to say.
Look at her blinking.
Is that blinking?
We brought this case after our four-year investigation revealed that Donald Trump committed repeated Her initial theory of the case was that domestic banks weren't lending to Trump.
So it's clear that he was laundering money.
Oh, wait.
That was wrong?
Oh, well then let's just shift our theory of the case a little bit.
Before this trial even began, the judge ruled in our favor and found that Donald Trump did engage in years of significant financial fraud we uncovered.
Did she just say that out loud?
Did she just say that out loud?
Donald Trump did his business.
Before this trial even began...
Before this trial even began...
Hold on.
Hold on.
I've got to screen grab this.
This is not possible.
Donald Trump did engage in years of significant financial fraud we uncovered.
Throughout this trial, we revealed the full extent of that fraud.
Before the trial even began, she said this without flinching, without laughing.
This is a New York justice?
Get out of New York, people.
Escape from New York.
We heard from Donald Trump and his family, his co-defendants, his current and former employees at the Trump Organization.
And we heard from the banks who said we did not rely on Trump's self-assessment.
And we heard from the banks that said we conducted our own due diligence.
And we heard from the banks that said we would have halved his own self-assessment and still given him the loan.
And we heard from the banks who said we were competing for Trump's business because he was a whale.
Oh!
Well, I'm not gonna...
The judge doesn't need to listen to that because he's already decided!
Before the trial even began, they determined fraud.
amazing!
Appalentants and associates at a financial institution, loan underwriters, real estate professionals, and experts.
I'm sorry, didn't one of Trump's experts just say, I would have evaluated it at more than what Trump did?
I'm sure one of them said that after the judge had already come to his conclusion.
And we showed that Donald Trump's financial statements were used to get better loan terms, tax breaks, and a host of other economic benefits.
She's always fighting for the little guy, the big banks that didn't charge enough interest.
Although the banks said, we wanted his business.
We were competing for his business.
That's why we gave him preferential, favorable loan terms.
This woman is unbelievable.
We will return to court to present our closing argument.
But the judge already ruled!
I'm confident in our case and that justice will prevail.
No matter how powerful you think you are or how much money you think you have, everyone is equal under the law, even Donald Trump.
This makes me want to vomit.
It actually makes me want to puke.
I'm not trying to be funny.
It makes me nauseous.
How do I get that bar to get off the bottom?
Do it like this?
How do I get the scroll bar to get off the bottom?
I don't want to see that.
We uncovered.
Throughout this trial...
Oh my goodness.
This is a boomer moment.
Okay.
How do I get rid of...
Oh, whatever.
I'll figure it out afterwards.
Before the trial even began, the judge ruled in our favor.
Yep.
That's cool, people.
That's how justice works.
And if you think that that's communism...
Oh!
I mean, that's the most beautiful thing on earth.
That's the gift.
That's the gift that keeps on giving.
It's the gift that she gave to us.
How do I get rid of the time bar on the thing?
Wow, I'm dense.
Okay, it doesn't matter.
I'll get it in a second because we're going to have to end the stream and go over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
Anyhow, what do we have left in the backdrop to talk about today?
I think I can save some.
Epic Games, Phil Demers.
Okay, we're going to end with something funny.
No!
No.
We're going to do the funny thing in Locals.
This one I want to do for maximum exposure.
I don't know what the news is yet, if there's been an update.
I posted this video.
It was a short one.
I did a vlog over the weekend.
And I was surprised by the response because there were more people than I was expecting who were saying, the police dog is a tool.
The officer has no right to the dog.
And if he didn't want to lose the dog, he shouldn't have taken a position closer to home.
For those of you who don't know this story, Chad Hagen, an officer in Ohio.
I don't know where.
I don't know the geography.
But he's working as a police officer.
It's far away from home.
He found a position, still as an officer, closer to home.
He's been working with his service dog, his police dog, Igor, for five years.
This is the only handler Igor has ever known.
They've been working together since Igor was about a year.
Had him for five years.
And he says, look, I'm taking a new position, closer to home.
I'd like to take Igor with me.
I don't have to, but I'll buy him.
Please give him.
I'll pay you $10,000 for the dog.
Just let him come with me.
His chief, who some say is acting a bit out of spite.
Can imagine the reason.
Says, no, Dog's got a few more years left on his useful work life.
You don't get him.
You don't get to buy him because you're quitting or moving to a different precinct.
And we're going to keep him.
We're going to find a new handler.
And meanwhile, he's been in a kennel as at the time of this article, which is a day and a half old.
He had been in a kennel for two weeks now.
Shaker Height police dog remains in kennel as city council mull the situation.
Canine Igor has been apart from his handle for two weeks with no resolution to his dilemma.
He offered to pay $10,000 Now, under Ohio law, there's an Ohio regulation that says that when they retire the dog, the police officer has the right to buy the dog for a dollar.
I'll show you that in a second.
So the bottom line, however, is that he's being refused the permission to buy the dog.
The dog's been in a kennel at least as of the time as this for two weeks.
And I think it's a bloody outrage.
Chad Hagen.
Let's just see if there's been any news of the dog.
I would not mind if people got proactive on social media with this because I think it's an outrage.
I did the video breaking it down and a number of people said Viva the dog's a police dog.
It's not his property.
It's a tool.
And the guy left his job, did whatever, and that's it.
You forfeit your right.
And on the one hand, the idea of referring to a dog as a tool, I found somewhat offensive, especially from, you know, even if you think that they can serve a function like drug sniffing dogs, they serve a purpose.
I would never refer to a sentient being or a, you know, a higher order mammal as a tool ever.
They can serve a function as a tool.
Some humans are actually tools.
I would never refer to the dog as a tool.
Because if it's a tool, you think it's a wrench.
Well, you can throw out your wrench.
You can break your wrench.
You can set your wrench on fire.
You can't do that with a dog because dogs have rights.
Tools don't really have rights.
So I'm surprised.
I don't care.
There's a provision of law.
People are like, well, he forfeited his right to do this because if I can get the provision of law, which is...
Here, the Ohio Revised Code.
You see right here, this is the purchase of police dog or horse because it's a problem that comes up often enough that they have provisions of law for it.
Item C. No, it's not.
Item D. A law enforcement...
No.
Yes, item D. A law enforcement officer who leaves an equine or canine unit of law enforcement agency while the police dog or horse assigned to the officer is still fit for duty, forfeits the right to purchase the animal under this section.
There were some, I don't know if they're trolls or jerks or liars or morons or just someone who'd misunderstood the law says, that's it.
The guy quit.
Tough noogies.
They're not allowed to give him the dog under the law.
That's wrong.
What this says is that if the guy leaves, he forfeits the right to purchase the animal under this section, and then you need to go to the provision that talks about purchasing the dog, which is here, item B. Upon disbanding of the canine or equine unit of a law enforcement agency, the agency shall give the law enforcement officer to whom a police dog or horse is assigned the first chance to purchase the animal for one dollar.
An officer who purchases an animal under this section shall assume all responsibility of the animal.
Upon disbanding of the canine unit, which presumably means it's the police station that decides to disband it, an officer who hasn't quit has the right of first refusal to purchase the dog for a dollar.
And the reason for that is they're going to say, look, we're splitting it up.
Do you want the dog?
Yeah?
Well, we're not going to make you pay $5,000 for the dog.
You've worked together.
It's your dog.
Here it is for a dollar.
What item D was intending to prevent, as far as I understand, and my understanding might be wrong, but I don't think it is, is an officer who decides to quit does not get to avail himself of his right to purchase the dog for a dollar.
This doesn't mean that they can't agree to give him the dog for a dollar.
This doesn't mean that they can't agree to disband the unit.
And allow the officer to exercise his right to buy it for a dollar.
It doesn't mean that they can say, okay, fine, we're going to retire the dog a year early and it's going to cost us a little money to train a new one.
We'll take you $10,000 and we'll find a new tool.
So this is an absolute, it's an outrage to me, but I do have a soft spot for dogs.
Not so much for horses because I don't think horses are as smart as dogs, but having seen Alison Morrow's horse, I now think they're smarter than I thought they were.
It's an outrage and people should be mildly outraged about it and put a little pressure on the Ohio Police Department.
I don't know how you find them, but you can look it up.
The dog has been serving in service for five years.
It's got maybe seven, maybe eight years of service.
So they're losing maybe two years of functional use of the dog.
As if that dog is going to be fit for use after his only handler leaves him.
No.
So I think this is an injustice that warrants a little bit of public scrutiny.
All right.
That's all I have to say about that.
Finn Boy Slick says, I hope the before this trial even began video is admissible as evidence during appeal.
It should be evidence of her impeachment.
I think you can impeach attorneys general in New York.
She should be out of a job and she should be on The View or she should be on CNN or MSNBC as the senior criminal legal analyst.
She should be out of a job.
At best.
And behind bars.
At worst.
Okay.
What do we got going on here, people?
You ever fed a horse, skeptical?
Oh, this is going to be talking.
By the way, I'm joking about the horses.
They just don't have the intelligence of dogs.
Hold on a second.
Guys, watch this.
Still waiting for Pudge to...
Still waiting for Pudge to go full diarrhea from having eaten that...
Look at this.
Can I see this?
I want to see if it focuses.
This is Pudge.
Sleeping away.
That's one.
And then look at Winston over here.
We got Winston.
Oh, Pudge is up now.
She's up.
We got Winston has every bed in the house.
Oh, that's a terrible picture.
Oh, no.
Now she's coming.
She's coming.
Okay.
And then we got Winston, who's got every bed in the house and every bed in the room, who chooses to sleep.
On my briefcase, my cloth briefcase.
All right, everybody.
So all that to say, I think that's it for the show tonight.
I'm going to go over to locals.
We're going to have our locals afterparty.
We were supposed to have the locals convo today, but we had to reschedule, so stay tuned for that.
Everyone on Rumble, I'm going to thank you all for being here.
It's a privilege and an honor to be able to go crazy together and try to make sense of the world as it happens.
Viva, have you ever eaten horse?
Ex-skater?
Yes, I have.
I'm not even going to be that shy guy that's like...
I had horse in Quebec City.
In French Canada, horse is...
It's actually relatively common.
It was very irony, very...
I don't want to say gamey.
I don't exactly know what gamey means.
But I ate horse.
I've tasted horse, alligator, bison balls.
Dear God.
Okay.
So that's it.
GoTrump2024 says, Viva Viva.
My Arabian horse are easily smart as my German shepherd.
Oh, and then we got SecretSquirrel66 says, Damn, I missed it.
NDoug says, Horses are very smart.
Yep.
And that's it.
Let's see if I get canceled for having admitted to eating horse meat.
Did Viva cover the awesome guy tearing down the satanic statue in Iowa?
Huchu000.
I didn't.
I'm inclined not to support that type of vandalism regardless.
I don't know.
Where was the Satan statue?
I don't know the context.
I don't know exactly where this Satan statue was, but I'm not a fan of vandalizing other people's stuff, even if I disagree with it, because that's kind of exactly what they do.
Some people are going to say, well, that statue of Johnny McDonald in downtown Montreal is the equivalent of a Satanic statue, so I was justified in taking it down.
Yeah.
Your dogs are eating horse meat, says Honor234.
When are we going to hear from James Topp?
Oh, I'll see if I can get him back on.
That's from TSM Money.
Oh, and I've had kangaroo, actually.
I saw the word in a courthouse, I believe.
It said ex-skater.
I saw court, and I immediately saw kangaroo court, and then was thinking, I've had kangaroo.
That was actually interesting, but I could never cook it so that it wasn't tough as nails.
I've never eaten dog.
And I do morally judge anybody who has eaten dog, unless it's out of necessity for protein, but that might be my own double standards, which I can...
How can I eat cow if I don't think it's right to eat dog?
I think they're different in terms of history and place in the natural order of things.
N-Dog says, you good with dog meat at certain restaurants?
It's not something I would do.
I do know that in Japan they eat dolphin, not like mahi-mahi dolphin, but...
Yeah, I would not eat dog.
All right, so that's it.
What we're going to do is we're going to...
What time is it now?
We are going to go over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
Thank you all for being here.
Sunday night, going to be an amazing episode.
What else?
Cozy Earth.
Oh, I'm so stupid.
I didn't get my...
I always forget to do my own thing here.
Viva Fry.
If you want to get some Christmas gifts, let's see if the new merch is up.
There's a new design.
It's going to be good, good.
I haven't looked yet.
Is it up?
Is it up?
It's not up.
Populism fixes everything is up.
Your wanted best mug on earth is up.
Wanted mugshot shot glass is there.
Best stuff on earth.
You can view all the merch, vivafry.com.
I would have put a bull mast if not a Jack Russell there, but whatever.
All dogs are beautiful.
VivaFry.com, everybody.
But for now, head on over to VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com and we'll continue the after party there.
Thank you all for being here.
People, see you Sunday night, probably earlier, because I love doing this.
Locals, I'm a-coming.
Peace.
Alright, locals.
Pudge is up and about.
She's up and oop in a boot, but I don't see poop yet.
I saved the poop story for here.
I saved one for locals, people.
And I'm going to go do a vlog about this afterwards.
