Yes, you can play with the bubble wrap.
Hold on, this is...
Okay, are we ready for this?
Guys.
I'm ready.
Play with the bubble wrap.
What is that?
Okay, this is beautiful.
Can I use it for a second?
Yeah, but hold on a second.
Please!
One second.
Daddy, can you open, can you, can you lie on the ground?
You hear this?
Oi!
Okay, the dog.
We have to keep that away from the dog.
There's a 1908 pain.
A Ross Taylor image made from the reproductive organ of a bull.
Here you go, old lady.
Ronnie, get your face away from that.
There's a bit of a problem.
There's a typo.
What?
custom made for Okay, so check it out, Gramps.
They shipped it to New York.
You notice how it's beautiful curvature on the shaft?
Nice shiny lacquer finish.
Custom made?
I can waste your money.
This trailer original.
Made from the...
Green product.
Where's my camera?
Oh, okay there I am.
The shaft is an actual bull penis.
The shaft of the cane.
It's an actual bold penis.
Dehydrated.
Varnished.
The only problem here, it says, read that, what it says up there.
Here on this one.
That's my grandma.
Okay, so how do I put this on pause?
It says, it says custom made for...
And it was supposed to say Grandma Rose, but for some reason it says Irama Rose.
Either I made a typo when I filled it out, or they made a typo, so we're just going to have to call you Irama from now on.
He sent me as a gift.
I contacted this guy in Utah.
I saw a television show, so he says he'll send me.
Okay, it wasn't a gift.
Did I just cut myself out of the stream?
It wasn't a gift.
My grandmother was very frugal.
Born in 1916, passed away in 2019, which made her 103 years old at the time of her death.
The blessing was that she lived a long, healthy life, and the biggest blessing was that she passed away in November 2019, where we got to have a proper funeral and we all got to mourn like humans are supposed to mourn because October, November, December, January, February, March, four months later.
The world went to utter shiott, people.
All right, I'm using Rumble Studio again today, and I'm getting used to things.
I wanted to play a longer intro video so that I could go once the YouTube live is up and click the contains a paid sponsor, because it does, and I don't want to run afoul of any rules, people.
YouTube be throttling my shit like it's nobody's business.
Oh, either that.
Okay, look, I don't want to complain.
I have to be very self-reflective.
Either YouTube is throttling me or all of a sudden overnight having changed nothing.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
We're going to get there.
Good afternoon, everybody.
It's Valentine's Day and I'm going to get into the sponsor of the video today.
I haven't gotten myself, myself, my wife.
A gift yet.
She's not watching because she's probably on her way to the airport now.
My gift for Valentine's Day is the second parent is coming home to relieve single parent of daddy duties.
Holy crap.
I'll stop complaining about it because people actually, you know, there are a great many people who solo parent 24-7, 365 for years.
Parenting is a two-person job, period.
She's coming back today.
It's Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day, everybody.
By the time she gets back, there's going to be multiple tomato plants littering the house because our gag, my shtick, is I like to get a Valentine's Day present that gives back.
Gold and silver is good, as we're going to see in a second.
Jewelry?
Feels like you're just wasting money on jewelry.
I mean, I don't know how to invest in jewelry.
And jewelry seems like idolatry.
Like, just say, hey, look at this beautiful stone.
What does it do?
I put it on my neck.
So what's the purpose?
Well, it's to let people know that I loved you so much I blew a lot of money on something that came out of the ground.
That's not really probably ever going to be worth any more money.
Either way, I got my wife a card and I'm going to get her a bunch of tomato plants at the Home Depot when we're done with the stream.
But happy Valentine's Day, everybody.
We should be live across the plains of the interwebs.
I'm going to do things a little differently.
I'm going to stay live on all platforms until we end it and do our local supporter afterparty.
I'm doing that for a couple reasons, one of which is tactical reasons.
I'm going to be mysterious.
But no, I'm not going to be mysterious about it.
If I cut the stream, then I've got to go to the platforms and end the stream on various platforms so it doesn't have a blurred screen that's just playing for the rest of the stream.
So I'm going to do that.
We're going to see if they have been incorporating my expert.
Live streaming internet guru dude recommendation.
So we're going to see how it goes.
Look at this.
Buy your handgun for Valentine's Day, says Joe Dirty.
It's not a bad one.
No, never mind.
We got Happy Valentine's Day from Stillwater.
So look at this.
I love this.
Booyah.
I can bring up all these things.
We are live on YouTube.
We're live on Rumble.
And we're going to be live on...
We were live on Twitter.
Are we live on Twitter?
We're live on Twitter as well.
So across all the...
Now I hear myself.
I'm on the background.
There we go.
I hear myself everywhere.
Okay, we're good.
Oh, people, we've got a hell of a show today.
First of all, in the chat, I asked publicly, but I'm reluctant because I don't want anyone thinking like it's a call for anything nefarious.
Where is tomorrow's hearing in Georgia?
Is it at the Fulton County Courthouse?
Because if it's within eight hours of a drive, I think I might think of leaving at...
Now I've got to find a way to get that comment off.
How do I unpin?
Okay, there we go.
If the drive is like eight hours, maybe I'm going to get up at like four in the morning.
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
If I can make it there without having to fly, maybe I'm going to do it.
So tomorrow's hearing, we don't yet know if it's going to be broadcast.
And we don't yet know if it's within driving distance of where I am in Southeast Florida.
But we'll see.
One way or the other, I'm going to be live streaming that.
Can't seem to get a damn spotted.
The Apple Store to fix my phone.
I'm using my old iPhone.
Yesterday, I had a mild crisis.
My phone broke.
I couldn't swipe, access the screen or anything.
And I was immediately naked.
Naked.
Naked and scared.
And luckily, I had my older phone, so I reactivated the SIM card.
So at least I'm connected to the world out there.
It would not be worth traveling, says John Mann.
And then Joe Dirty says, Viva, parenting is a two-person job.
Also, Viva, wifey is on her own tomorrow.
Well, we're going to be...
Anyway, so all that to say, I'm going to be live streaming the hearing tomorrow in as much as it's going to be...
If it's going to be broadcast, I'm going to do it for sure.
And if it's not, I'm going to do like the same type of summary that I did yesterday, which we're going to talk about today.
On the news today, the border bill turned into a foreign aid bill.
We all knew that because that's what it was thinly veiled as.
It's amazing when you take...
When it's defined and being...
Politicized as a border bill, and then you take out 18% of it only, and it becomes a foreign aid package.
It's an amazing thing how that happens.
It's almost like it was a veiled, disguised foreign aid package, but it's even more nefarious than that, if you can believe.
One, we're going to talk about Fannie Willis.
I'm going to do some interpretation analysis of Melanie Jolie.
I think she's Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Talking about the crisis in Israel, Gaza.
These people are the most...
These people being Canadian politicians.
And I'm saying liberal Canadian politicians in particular and disgusting people.
We got a fun show today.
And then we're going to have a good after party at vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
What I wanted to do before anything started is...
I'm going to bring down the screen.
You will have noticed it says this stream contains a paid promotion.
And by the way...
This is one that I bought on my own.
It's a beautiful US silver dollar.
I'm thinking now I got ripped off on this because I was looking at it very closely and I don't think this is mint.
I think someone was handling this and I think I got screwed because I paid way more than the spot price for silver for one ounce.
But look at this beautiful thing.
Today's sponsor is something that everybody should be having.
This I got at a...
Coin shop in Arizona when I was down there with my kid over the summer.
That was a gift from my other kid.
But hold on.
Let me make sure I can use the presentation.
So I want to go to share screen.
Share screen.
Hold on, people.
Bear with me here.
Now I got to go to window.
And I see it right here.
Okay, so I'm going to share with this.
Okay, good.
And now I'm going to hold on.
Hold on.
Wait for it.
I can do it.
I can do it.
I go here.
Okay.
This.
And now I got to press play on the video, which should be here.
No, that's final cut.
Hold on.
There we go.
Okay, now this is it.
Boom.
Look at this.
Beautiful, beautiful silver bullion and gold.
I mean, I'm being funny, but it's not a joke.
The governments are pushing for central digital bank currency.
They're doing it in Canada.
They're doing it in the States.
And if they do it, by the way, it could replace actual currency.
What do you do?
With CBDC, central digital banking currency, would come surveillance of our lives, freezing of our assets, as we've seen in Canada.
That was what caused the run on the banks.
We needed cash in our hands.
Not that I did, because what the heck happens when the world shuts down?
But it can cause freezing of your assets.
As, you know, to compel social compliance, government control over our bank accounts, and how we spend our own money.
If you want to know how this happens, just look no further than Canada.
Americans who want to protect their liberty and privacy need to prepare themselves for what's to come.
That's why many Americans are trained to physical gold and silver to diversify their wealth.
Dude, I'd love to, and I think I will, because I think you have to.
It's like physical Bitcoin in your hand, you know?
The poop hits the fan, you know?
In Canada, they want you to register the gold that you buy.
It's a wild thing.
They'll explore the rights and options for you to help.
Oh, yeah, this is, sorry.
If you want to help protect your retirement, you should call Preserve Gold today.
They'll help you explore the options to protect your 401k, retirement, IRA, other qualified retirement savings accounts.
It's easy.
By the way, it's also kind of fun just to hold actual silver and gold in your hands, although this is just, you know, silver coin.
Their trip will be accredited with zero customer complaints and hundreds of satisfied customers.
They're also funding members of Precious Metals Association, so you know you're in good hands.

And I have the good mind of...
Let me get rid of this here.
I have the good mind of...
Maybe it's probably too late for Valentine's Day, but I'm going to go get me some gold.
All right, that's it, people.
Now, what do we want to start with?
We're going to start with something that's actually...
We're going to go from like...
You know what?
While we're on the topic of central digital banking currency, the Bank of Canada coming out and saying, we want to know what the public thinks about central digital currency.
What do you think about it?
We all hate it.
It's a method of control.
So it should be something that obviously the fine folks of the Liberal Party, the so-called Liberal Party, would want, as they presumably do in Canada.
But...
We're going to make fun of the Liberals today, the Canadian Liberals, not the American Liberals, by looking at Melanie Jolie being an embarrassment to Canada.
Melanie Jolie, who's claimed to fame, she's a lawyer.
She was a lawyer.
I think she was mayor of Montreal.
I'll double-check that.
This is Melanie Jolie opining on the crisis in the Middle East.
You know, while, as we'll get to with the border bill turned foreign aid bill, they're given $15 billion in aid to Israel.
So you take the taxpayer dollars, give it to a foreign country as aid so that that foreign country can then ship it right back to America, but the military-industrial complex portion of America to buy the weapons so that Israel can wage its war in and against Gaza.
While simultaneously from the border bill turned foreign aid package, giving billions of dollars to the Gazans that are the victims of Israel's military operations in Gaza.
It's an amazing thing.
This is Melanie Jolie, who can't even pronounce Benjamin Netanyahu's name properly.
You might not like the guy, you might hate the guy, as a great many people do.
But if you're going to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs for a country, talking about how much you care about what's going on...
Pronounce the damn guy's name properly, maybe, but listen to the other verbal diarrhea coming out of her mouth.
But, you know, she's so cutesy when she does it, so you can't attack her for being a bumbling idiot.
I'm very concerned about what's going on in Gaza, in particular in Rafa.
In particular, I got the name of a city right in Gaza.
Very concerned.
I'm very concerned about what's going on in Gaza, in particular in Rafah.
The operation would be devastating and is devastating to Palestinians and all those seeking refuge, including foreign nationals and including Canadians.
Thanks.
Yes.
Let me do a little body language reading here.
She has no idea what the hell she's talking about.
She knows that she has no idea what the hell she's talking about.
She's hoping to get a clip out without fumbling or saying something totally stupid.
Issue blanket platitudes.
Virtue signaling platitudes.
Hope you make it through it so that the world thinks you're mildly intelligent and know what the hell you're talking about when it's patently obvious you don't.
These are people, are mothers, are children.
They have names.
They have their own stories.
They're human beings.
They exist.
And we see them.
I want to vomit listening to this rubbish.
I mean, this is the elite political world of Canada.
This woman is an absolute idiot.
Hey, they're mothers, yeah.
They may also be other, you know, the people holding the Israelis hostage that they took, whether or not you think the response is proportionate, whatever.
Set all that aside.
There are more than also mothers and children in there, and there might be a reason why mothers and children are disproportionately caught in the crossfire.
They're mothers.
They have names.
What did she say?
They're people.
And we see them?
They're human beings.
They exist.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
And we see them.
They're pulling this 2SLGBTQIA plus crap.
You're there, and we see you.
Oh, we see you.
Can you imagine just being this vapid that this is what you think your job is?
Oh, dramatic pause.
Dramatic pause.
We see you.
They exist.
And we see them.
One, two, three.
What the Netanyahu government is...
What the Netanyahu?
What the Netanyahu government is asking them to do, which is to leave again, is unacceptable.
Because they have nowhere to go.
And so that's why we need right now for the violence to stop.
We need the sustainable ceasefire.
Oh, that's good.
We need a hostage deal.
Hold on, so this is great.
Let me just take notes here.
You need the violence to stop.
Okay, awesome.
That's a great recommendation.
What was it?
You need a viable peace deal?
That's a good idea, too.
We need the sustainable ceasefire.
Sustainable.
Why didn't anyone think of that?
Oh, okay.
All right.
Hey, I'm Melanie Jolie.
We need the violence to stop in a sustainable ceasefire.
Go.
Do it.
We need a hostage deal.
Hostages must be released.
And humanitarian aid must go in.
So that's why I'll be working on this, particularly this week.
She can't even believe that this is her life.
Holy cows.
You really do fail up in government.
I'm heading to Washington later today.
I'll be meeting with Secretary Blinken tomorrow.
And also I'll be meeting with my Jordanian counterpart in Washington.
And also I'll be meeting with him as the King of Jordan is coming to Ottawa later this week.
And what I'm going to tell him is this.
We need a sustainable ceasefire.
We need the hostages to be released, and we need the violence to stop.
Alright, I'm good.
Okay, guys, you know what to do?
believable stupidity, incompetence, and to boot, corruption.
I can't get it.
I'm reading some of the...
So, one of my recommendations to the studio is to make the chat...
Not the chat, the rumble rants and the super chats.
More prominent.
So I'm going to see if I scroll up and make sure I don't miss any.
That's what's going on in Canada, people.
We're being governed by absolute idiots.
Now, what's going on in the States?
Let's get to what's going on in the States.
The latest and the greatest.
Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy.
Dave Rubin put out a tweet this morning, and I didn't appreciate the genius of it.
Until I started seeing it, I was going to say metastasized, but I guess that might be a better word, materialized in real life.
Rubin put out a tweet, and the tweet goes to this effect.
The bipartisan, and they put it in quotes, border deal, was horrible and should have been rejected.
But that wasn't really the game.
And we're going to go back to the confession through projection.
You do remember them, them being like Democrats and maybe some of the rhinos and the never-Trumpers saying, Trump, instead of wanting to solve the problem that we caused, he wants to use it as a political tool against us in the upcoming election.
Well, A, no shit, Sherlock.
And B, you caused the problem.
And C, you are accusing him of wanting to weaponize this as a political issue for the upcoming election when that's exactly what you are now doing.
Totally transparently, Rubin puts out this, the quote, bipartisan end quote border deal was horrible and should have been rejected, but that wasn't really the game.
The meme is out that Republicans lost last night in that, whatever race that was in New York, because they rejected the deal.
And when we got some illegal immigrant, and when we get some illegal immigrant terrorism before election, it will be framed the same way.
And now let's go hear what Dana Bash has to say.
From voters.
I heard from voters that they were very, now these are obviously, Very well-informed voters, but they were at the polling station.
They were voting early.
And several of them said to me that they don't want to vote for the Republican because it's clearly impossible to get a solution on the issue of immigration.
They said border, the border problem, the immigration issue, the migrant issue in their district was the top issue for them.
And that the fact that Republicans killed that bipartisan deal.
Put them over the edge to vote for Tom Swasey.
Total bullshit.
And immigration was their top issue.
So I think that there's something...
I heard from voters that they were very...
Now, these are obviously very well-informed voters, but they were at the polling station.
They were voting early.
Did I close the right screen?
Hope I didn't just close the right screen.
What Dana Bash just said is, once you understand that the media is not there to reflect reality, but rather to shape it, they're not there to report on what's going on.
They are there to craft what they want to happen.
It's narrative control and narrative shaping, and to some extent, thought manipulation, manufactured consent, as Chomsky put it back in the day.
So that's what they're saying now.
The loss yesterday was because Republicans shot down the quote-unquote bipartisan bill for border, which only contains however many millions, hundreds of millions for the border, or billions, whatever, 18 billion, and another 16 billion for Ukraine, 15 billion for Israel, etc., etc.
Rubin puts out that tweet.
Let me pull this one up because it's amazing.
They're telling you what they're doing now as they do it, and lo and behold, what they are now telling you they're doing is what they accused Donald Trump of allegedly wanting to do.
Look at this.
This is Dan Goldman.
This meme, by the way, I can't put out the image because I don't want anyone misconstruing it.
Whenever I see this...
Gosh darn meme.
I picture the last scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark when all of the Nazis' faces are melting because they stared at the Ark of the Covenant.
I mean, do they think this makes them look good?
Or like satanic robots?
Doesn't matter.
Talking about Decision Desk HQ predicts Tom Suozzi wins special election for New York's 3rd Congressional District.
And Goldman puts out...
Literally, and I'll say literally, just like we drew up.
I don't know if he was being sarcastic, but that is one example of the Democrats now based...
For God's sake, man, stop kicking yourself out of the stream.
That's one example of the Democrats explaining, admitting in real time that, lo and behold...
They scripted it.
They got exactly what they wanted out of politicizing this issue.
You got Chris Murphy, who I've been picking a fight with on Twitter this morning, coming out and he's overtly stating he's on an outrage tour, people.
Remember when Trump said this border bill is bullshit.
This border bill doesn't solve the border.
It just allows more siphoning of taxpayer dollars out to Ukraine.
And it's thinly veiled as a border issue and all that it does.
And I'll get into what the border bill does because I stuck it to Goldman.
Murphy, sorry, earlier today.
But what does Murphy have to say?
I'm on an outrage tour.
I'm furious Republicans killed a bipartisan bill that would have helped fix the border.
And now I'm determined to make sure every voter knows about their hypocrisy.
I'm sorry.
Wasn't it just all of you the other day complaining that Trump was going to weaponize the border issue for election purposes?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Your border bill was rubbish from day one.
As Rubin puts it, but as I've been saying for a couple of days, it was a bill designed to be refused because it wasn't anything that actually solved the border crisis.
In fact, some might even say that all that it would have done was ratify illegal immigration, you know, up to a cap of 5,000 a day, which is 1.8 million a year.
You know, just ratify it.
So I took it to Chris Murphy.
I suspect he'll probably block me before he replies to me, but I don't care.
Took it to Murphy just to point out the obvious.
We looked at that border bill.
They were calling it the border bill before overnight it became the foreign aid bill.
Amazing how that works.
We'll get there in a second.
The border bill didn't fix Jack Sciott.
In fact, all that it did was ratify illegal immigration.
Basically, what it did was almost say, unless you reach 5,000 illegal immigrants a day over, for an average over seven days, you can't do anything.
That is arguably what it actually said.
So it basically ratified illegal immigration to the tune of whatever 5,000 times 365 is.
I think it's 1.8 million, but I'm not saying that because I'm good at math.
I just think I remember that being the number.
5,000 times 365 is 1.825 million.
It didn't solve a border crisis problem any more than they solved crime in San Francisco by legalizing shoplifting of under $950, decriminalizing it.
You don't solve crime by legalizing illegal activity.
That border bill did nothing but ostensibly ratify illegal immigration to the tune of 1.8 million a year.
Okay?
Oh, by the way, from what I understood of the drafting of that bill, It didn't include, in counting those illegal immigrants, immigrants, illegal immigrants from non-contiguous countries.
So it didn't even look like, in that 5,000 a day, it included illegal immigrants from China, from Russia, from the Middle East.
Okay, that's one thing.
That's two things, actually.
And then it said, while stripping the states of proper jurisdiction by forcing them to the corrupt D.C. court system.
You will recall, I won't belabor the point because we've talked about it a lot, Joe Biden coming out on the White House lawn, helicopter noise behind us, just give me the power!
I don't have the power to fix the border problem.
Bullshit, you do.
A. B. What that border bill did, but we now know it was just a thinly disguised foreign aid bill, was actually give the federal government, give D.C. power that it didn't have beforehand.
So the border bill that allegedly sought to fix the border by ratifying illegal immigration and then compelling jurisdictional challenges to the courts of D.C., to the corrupt partisan hack courts of D.C. Yeah.
Oh, and now it's the Republicans' fault for having refused that bipartisan bill.
All of the senators who approved that, who voted for that, won't use inflammatory rhetoric.
They are rhinos who should be voted out of office.
It was bipartisan in that, yes, it was unipartisan.
Let's just call it that, unipartisan.
And so now what's happening, exactly like Dave is observing, you have the people who accused Trump of weaponizing the border issue for political profit, weaponizing it for political profit, and now saying we won the election yesterday because our border bill that was nothing to begin with was actually probably only drafted to be rejected so that they could then weaponize the rejection of the bill they drafted.
to be rejected for political profit.
Gosh, forsaken, hypocrites, confession through projection.
It's what the liberal lefty political types do.
Oh.
The news of the day, however.
And I went, I mean, I went quasi, not ballistic.
It's just, it's saddening.
It's like, it's depressing.
You pay taxes.
In Canada, for those of you who don't know, you end up paying over 50% income.
I mean, not income tax, but you pay like upwards of 46, 48%.
Let's just say 45 to 48% income tax between federal.
Income tax and provincial income tax.
They reach up your hand, up your butt with an unlubed fist to grab every last penny they can get.
Okay.
That's if you make, you know, $100,000 or more.
And you're of the top 1% if you do that, and then they take 50, you know, virtually 50% of what you get.
Okay.
If you live in Quebec, you pay 15% sales tax, the harmonized sale tax, federal and provincial sales tax, 15%.
So after they take, let's just round it up for argument's sake.
After they take 50% of whatever you've made, then they say, okay, well, here, you got, let's say you make $200,000, you got $100,000 to spend.
Well, we're going to take another 15% of every dollar you spend.
15% provincial federal sales tax.
Then you got property tax.
Then you got your license fees.
Then you got your passport fees.
Then you got utilities.
It's like squeezing blood from a turnip, and it's why communist regimes eventually fall, because they got no one more to tax.
All right.
Larry Legend says, 15% sales tax.
Fuck, even Cali isn't that high.
It's 15% between provincial and federal.
I think they call it the harmonized sales tax.
So, you know, I left that.
It's great.
It's nice.
I work my ass off.
And I work my ass off so the government can come in and say, hey, I'm your business partner, Biatch.
Give me half of that.
You come down here to Florida, which has more favorable tax, but you're still paying substantial federal tax.
You're paying it so that you can see them take your money that you, in theory, you hypothesize that when you pay income tax in a country, it's going to go to that country.
There are problems in America that need fixing yesterday.
The border is one of them.
You know, drug overdoses, mental health crisis, homelessness, veterans on the streets.
There are problems in America that need fixing yesterday.
Lahaina, East Palestine, we've all forgotten about this because Ukraine is the number one priority for Americans, for Americans, for American politicians for some reason.
I wonder why.
Because it's a lot easier to siphon off and launder money via Ukraine than via Hawaii.
So this border bill, or that which was being touted as a border bill, Turns into a...
Turns into a...
What do they call it?
They called it a...
Turned into a foreign aid bill overnight.
What the heck is the article that I had describing it?
Well, that's that.
Hold on a second.
What the heck is it?
No.
No.
Oh, for goodness sake.
Well, we don't need to bring up an article on it anyhow.
So they're now calling it a foreign aid bill, which the Senate approved.
The Senate approved this now repurposed, repackaged foreign aid bill because all that they did was take out the border provisions and what you were left with was $95 billion U.S. tax dollars going to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and Taiwan.
It's theft, says Paramount.
Well, it's our isolated joke at vivafried.com.
Hold on, let me pull it up.
VivaFry.com It's not theft.
It's not just theft.
It's armed robbery.
Because they literally were making the jokes about border agents with guns.
Taxation is not just theft.
It's armed robbery because the government has the monopoly on violence.
Get your bumper sticker today at VivaFry.com Where only 37 cents goes to the federal government, whereas in Canada, 50% of any profits made off that very thinly margin product would go to the government.
Taxation is in theft.
It's arm dropping.
I think I made it up, but in case I didn't, I'm still going to pretend I did.
It's enraging.
So you get the Senate bipartisan passing this bill, which is nothing more than money laundering.
Do you guys know what the average wealth net?
Net worth of senators.
Do you guys know what it is?
It's offensive.
I made a little car rant yesterday.
List of current members of the United States Congress by net worth.
Okay, so I guess it's not just Senate.
It's both.
But let's pull this up and just have a look at this, shall we?
I don't know how to limit it to the Senate.
Look at this chamber here.
That's what we want to do.
Chamber, the Senate.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, now we're not going by bipartisan, so we can't break it down.
Again, people, this is not about criminalizing wealth.
Rick Scott, $260 million net worth.
Mark Warner, $214 million.
Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney, who gets out there and says the vote on the Ukraine aid package is the most important vote in American history.
I'm paraphrasing, but give or take.
What the point here is, by the way?
Immense, immense, immeasurable wealth.
How do I get this out of here?
Of these congressmen, senators, who are approving what to do with your tax dollars because it's no skin off their teeth.
They're stealing the money of the people who are paying it and the people who need it.
It will not impact them whatsoever.
They've got their...
$180,000 a year salary.
I want to know how many of them make it to multimillionaires.
Some of them come in with money and have family money, but whatever, whatever.
They're coming in and deciding...
That they're shipping your hard-earned tax dollars overseas to fund a proxy war where anywhere between 30 and 70% of that aid doesn't actually reach the end lines.
Lord knows where it goes, but they're taking your tax dollars to prop up Ukrainian government, Ukrainian small businesses, Ukrainian society, so they can also then take their tens and hundreds of billions and then ship it right back to the military-industrial complex so they can buy arms with the aid package that they took from your tax.
It is taxpayer money laundering, full stop.
In my humble opinion, hashtag not really an accusation of a meaningful crime until conviction.
Everyone is presumed innocent.
It's my view.
It's nothing more than taxpayer money laundering.
They're all game with it.
That damn foreign aid bill should get shut down in the House.
From what I understand, I don't know if it's been passed yet, but Chad, let me know if it's been passed, actually.
So, that's it.
And, you know, the people...
Did I disable my camera?
No, I didn't.
The people talking about it?
The people promoting all of this crap?
Oh, it might be the likes of Bill Maher.
What's Bill Maher worth?
I'll look this up afterwards.
You've all seen this, but I want to play the video.
But isn't it amazing to you?
It was in the paper today about this country came out of the pandemic way better.
We won the pandemic economically.
I mean, America...
I don't feel that way.
Explain it to me.
I feel like inflation is insane.
She's so polite.
And she maybe does it in a way that I probably should.
I would say, explain to me.
I wouldn't say that.
I'd say, are you an idiot, Bill?
Oh, you're worth $140 million?
Of course you have no idea.
Do you even buy your own eggs?
Inflation is not insane.
Oh, it's not.
Go buy a car.
There's numbers.
I understand.
A house.
Inflation is not insane.
I understand.
Has tripled here.
Look, I get that people...
Buy some fucking eggs.
Who's that?
Explain to me.
I'm not an economist.
I'm just trying to...
There's feelings and then there's...
The numbers.
Okay, what are the numbers?
Well, the numbers have come down a lot in the last six months.
They've come down from having been up wildly.
This is what Orwell wrote about in 1984 in terms of chocolate production.
And that's assuming you even believe that.
Oh, the numbers have come down.
Yeah, because they swapped out steak for chicken in your basket of comparables.
So inflation has come down because we changed the equation.
It's just endless.
But let's hear what Bill Maher has to say.
Be friendly, be nice.
He's a very smart man smoking weed.
Turning into a total pompous asshole, but whatever.
Of course, it was inevitable when we gave out $6 trillion so that everybody could hide under the bed from the forever flu.
What the hell is he...
So, okay, inflation's not outrageous.
It was normal that there'd be inflation when we printed $6 trillion so that people could hide from this fake thing that he's suggesting was not as serious as it was.
And now I'm going to admit also that there was a transfer of wealth.
That was never going to end well.
It was taken by the richest people ever and didn't get where it needed to go.
A lot of it was stolen.
We agree on that, too.
Was there some response needed?
Of course.
You don't want the hospitals overrun.
But it was just a massive overreaction.
And that did cause some of the inflation.
Don't do drugs, kids.
I feel bad because I really don't think Bill even...
Either was hearing what he was saying as he said it or believed what he was saying as he said it and realized, I just said something wildly stupid.
You know, inflation is not so bad.
I mean, it's coming down now from so bad.
It's only going up by a smaller degree than it was before.
Buy some eggs, Bill.
I didn't realize he has a net worth of $140 million.
Good for him.
So, yeah, there's that.
The border bill was intended to be refused, and we're now seeing why.
And the border bill, the so-called border bill, was actually nothing more than a foreign aid bill in disguise, as I take a little pride in saying, called at the time.
Because it's weird to have something you're touting as a border bill and...
100 billion of the 120 billion goes to everything other than the border, and the only provisions dealing with the border don't actually resolve the border crisis, only ratify illegal immigration while giving exclusive jurisdiction to the corrupt D.C. court district.
Okay.
Hey, they're milking it.
They're milking it for what it's worth now, people, so you know the retorts when you see these arguments being aired.
We're not done with listening to people be stupid yet.
Oh.
The breaking news, by the way.
So there was that female shooter.
Who entered Joel Osteen's megachurch.
I've never heard of...
I mean, it's a big church, I guess.
Listen to this.
It will no longer make the news because allegedly, purportedly, apparently, the shooter was transgender.
I don't know how many we're going to see in recent memory that have been transgender, but there's a list now.
A list that is not one.
A list that I believe is actually exceeding half a dozen.
And as they say, first time's an accident, second time's a...
Coincidence third time is enemy action.
I don't think Steve Bannon could have said that because he also says there are no coincidences.
Anyhow, either way, you know the idea.
We are now in a trend-noticing statistic as to recent shooters and transgender mental issues.
This is from CNN, and this is one of the more recent articles.
Shooter at Houston megachurch had lengthy criminal history, including weapons charges, police say.
A woman.
It's presumptuous.
Who walked into a popular Texas megachurch Sunday afternoon with a long gun and her seven-year-old son opened fire before she was killed by law enforcement officers on scene.
Well, there's one of your examples for stopping a bad guy with a gun by a good guy with a gun.
I don't want to get into the fight with David Hogg again, you know, taking the one very peculiar example of Uvalde where you had cops waiting for an hour and a quarter before doing anything.
Killed by law enforcement.
On site.
Speaking of solving problems with the hundreds of billions of dollars that are being siphoned off for laundering overseas, how about you hire veterans and pay them a healthy annual salary to protect each and every school in America?
How much would that cost?
I haven't done the math, actually.
I have no idea how much it would cost, but it would be less than what was lost in being siphoned off to Ukraine.
Guaranteed.
The gunfire left a child in critical condition and another man injured.
Authorities are now probing the shooting at televangelist Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church, roughly six miles from downtown Houston.
The woman, identified in a search warrant as Janice Yavon Moreno, we're going to ask some other questions there, entered the church shortly before two wearing a trench coat, backpack, opened fire.
Officers shot and killed her in self-defense.
I love how they have to qualify that as if anyone would have had any doubt about that.
After she pointed the weapon at them.
Her son was shot in the head during the shooting and remains in the hospital in critical condition.
It's unclear who fired the shot that injured the child.
Okay.
Police have not shared details about possible motive in the shooting.
The injured man was, sorry, shot in treatment.
Okay.
They're looking for a motive.
Okay.
Well, the one thing you can bet on, and...
More likely than not, or over a long period of time, win more bets than you lose, is whatever the mainstream media says, the exact opposite is true.
Okay, what do I mean by this?
Let's just, sticking to this story, listen to this.
You got the Associated Press.
I hate these flipping ads.
Texas megachurch shooter has not been identified as transgender despite online claims.
Okay.
People, when was this from?
I don't want to be unfair.
February 13th.
This is from yesterday.
5.27pm.
That's before midnight.
That's from yesterday afternoon.
That's about 20 hours ago?
19 hours ago?
Okay.
Let's just read that headline again.
The Texas megachurch shooter has not been identified as transgender despite online claims.
Okay.
I'll bet that that's false.
I'll just bet the straight-up opposite.
What do I know?
Claim the shooter that carried an attack injuring two people at a Texas megachurch on Sunday has been identified as transgender.
AP assessment?
False.
Guaranteed it's wrong.
I'll take that bet.
I'll take that bet straight up.
Even money.
She has been identified as transgender.
Houston police said on Monday that its investigation has thus far determined that the shooter identified as female despite using multiple aliases, including the name Jeffrey.
It's impossible to keep up with this level of dishonesty.
I mean, it's just impossible.
Now it's going to be not a preferred pronoun.
Now it's going to be an alias.
When a trans person says he, she, if he, him, if the person is a woman, and here's my new name, don't deadname me.
Well, it's going to be a...
What was the word that they used here?
What was the word that they used?
Alias.
It's going to be an alias and not preferred pronouns.
The facts amid the aftermath of the shooting.
Yada, yada, yada.
Social media spread false claims about Moreno's gender identity.
Oh.
Breaking.
Lakewood Shooter identified as transgender.
Yada, yada.
Okay, fine.
Let me go into this.
Others claim that Moreno, who was fatally shot in the exchange, has been born as Jeffrey but went by Genesee as part of transition.
Officials have not found any evidence that Moreno was transgender.
Police said she used male and female aliases but that investigators who looked at past police reports determined she identified as females.
As female.
Quote, we do have reports she used multiple aliases, including Jeffrey Escalante.
That's weird.
That's weird that a woman would use a male alias.
Houston police commander said in 19 minutes into the press conference, so she utilized both male and female names, but through all of our investigation to this point, talking with individuals, interviews, yada, yada, yada, she has been identified this entire time as female, she, her.
All right, well, let's just go have a look at that, shall we?
I have that one pulled up here as well.
I believe this is the clip that they're talking about.
Let's see what this officer has to say.
So, she has utilized both male and female names, but through all of our investigation to this point, talking with individuals, interviews, documents, Houston Police Department reports, she has been identified this entire time as female.
She, her, And so we are identifying her as Genesee Moreno, Hispanic female.
There were two weapons.
So she has utilized both male and female names.
But through all of our investigation to this point, talking with individuals, interviews, documents, Houston Police Department reports, she has been identified this entire time as female.
She, her.
And so we are identifying her as Genesee Moreno, Hispanic female.
Well, I'll tell you, the progress here is mega church shooter white.
Let's see here.
I want to remember this.
Let's put white, or would it be Caucasian?
She was initially identified as white.
Let me see if I put in Caucasian.
Caucasian?
That's not how you spell it, so that's gonna be a problem.
Ah, forget it.
In initial reports, although initial reports are never to be really trusted, she /her was identified as Caucasian.
You interpret that the way you want to interpret that.
It's a false claim to suggest that this person was transgender or whatever, but was going by a male name.
But that's just an alias.
That wasn't a trans issue.
So let that be the new line of defense every time that this occurs in the future.
Holy crabapples.
Give me one second here.
Yeah, see, I cannot easily enough bookmark the rumble rants.
So let me go here and open this up and read these.
Let me see.
We're looking at the same screen.
Okay, we are going to get some rumble rants.
Sammy says, did you see Brett Weinstein's pod on his travel to the Darien Gap, by the way?
China has a separate camp just for Chinese, quote, migrants, end quote.
Most are military-age men and over 30,000 here since 2023 and counting.
Sammy says, it's BS.
They can close the border 100%.
They did it during COVID.
They can do it again.
They can tell...
Panama to cut off access through the Darien Gap, limiting travel by over 90%.
The idea that the president doesn't have the power to close the border, Trump did.
And then they try to raise the challenges that he was taken to court over his racist Muslim ban.
I put it in quotes because it's a load of shit.
It was never anything of a Muslim ban whatsoever.
His ban on immigrants from certain parts of the world was ultimately upheld.
So the challenge was not that he lacked the authority.
The challenge was that it was discriminatory, racist.
There would be no such racial challenge here when the president, under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, the Immigration and the INA, says it's in our national interest, national security now to close the border to illegal immigrants.
That are crossing in the order of 3 million last year.
Finboy Slicks says, Translation, I managed to find two or three voters who comments match the reality I'm trying to spin right now.
Okay, let me see if I can go into YouTube.
I don't think I'll be able to see the super chats.
Wonder Bucket says, Viva Fry, I hope you one day interview Patrick Moore.
He's a climate expert who blew my mind.
He is one of the founders of Greenpeace, but then left when they became radicalized.
I have no problem interviewing anybody, so I'd screen grab that.
I'll have a look.
All right.
What else do we have on the menu before we start looking to shop for...
What's it called?
Mother's Day.
Oh, my goodness.
So hold on.
So we did the border bill.
What was the title of the stream?
Hold on.
I'm losing my bloody mind.
I'm losing my mind.
What was the name of the stream?
Oh, Fanny.
Oh, dear Lord, I almost forgot Fanny.
Oh, I'm sweaty.
How could I forget that?
That was the purpose of this stream.
I'm going to play some clips from something.
King of Biltong says, good morning from Anton's in Roanoke, Texas.

The Super Chats and Rumble Rats are the most effective method for good marketing.
Oh, Fanny Willis first?
No!
No, no, no, no, no.
Before we get to Fanny Willis, we're going to have to start with something else that drives me up a freaking wall, and her name is Karine Jean-Pierre.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Biden is mentally unfit to be present.
Everybody knows that it's basically, it's been the worst kept secret.
It's been as badly kept a secret as Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse, that he's been mentally unfit since, you know, easily 2017.
Okay, are we looking at the screen here?
We got the screen?
We got the screen.
Let me maximize this so we can maximize in the nauseating...
Verbal diarrhea.
I want you to pay attention to this every single time.
Or virtually every single time.
There is a tactic when someone is fundamentally stupid.
Like, Melanie Jolie does it.
Who's another good example that does it?
I'll think of one in a bit.
The leaning in.
Shoulder in.
And starting with, look.
Like, it's trying to informalize formal discourse.
To feign intelligence, to feign competence.
Karine Jean-Pierre is the most incompetent press secretary of all time.
You compare her to Ashley, whatever her name was.
I forget her name now.
It's light and day.
You compare her to Sean Spicer.
Sean Spicer might have been the best press secretary of all time.
I mean, you compare her to Kirby.
I think Kirby was press sec, wasn't he?
Every single time, hyperbolically speaking, Shoulder in?
Look, so I'm not going to get into that.
The president's been very clear.
And the shoulder in is really, the dropping the shoulder and like this really grinds my gears.
Listen to this.
Does the White House think that the...
The idea of the president taking a cognitive test as a part of this physical is a legitimate idea, particularly just on the heels of the special counsel report, more polling, as my colleague Selena just mentioned, showing that many American people have concerns about that.
Look, I got this question last week as well, and I'm just going to say what Dr. O 'Connor, it's kind of what he said to me about a year ago when the report came out last year, obviously, on his physical, which is the president proves every day how he operates.
Can you imagine the...
It's just...
It's in your face.
He's not taking a medical test because he passes one every day?
By not defecating himself, he proves that he's continent.
How he thinks, right?
By dealing with ward leaders, by making really difficult decisions on behalf of the American people, whether it's domestic, whether it's national security.
And so he shows it every day on how he thinks, how he operates.
And so that is how Dr. O 'Connor sees it, and that's how I'm going to leave it.
I believe for me, you're asking me my personal opinion, he is sharp.
He is on top of things.
When we have meetings with him, with his staff, he's constantly pushing us, trying to get more information.
And so that has been my experience with this president.
Anything else outside of that, I just shared with you what Dr. O 'Connor said to me.
And so I'll just leave it there.
Well, Dr. O 'Connor should have his license revoked.
I think there's no question about that.
We've seen him on a daily basis, Karin.
He got confused between Mexico and Egypt.
The borders of Mexico and the aid coming from Mexico to Gaza.
He forgot the rosemary.
Not the rosemary.
Rosary.
I'm sorry.
I'm not religious and not of that religion to begin with.
He forgot the rosary of his deceased son.
According to Ben-Hur, his name's not Ben-Hur, Special Counselor Hur, Can't remember when he was vice president, when his son died, comes out and still repeats on a daily basis that his son died in Iraq.
I mean, it's just Orwellian in your face.
Big Brother is perfectly competent.
And you imagine the idea that she says, as evidence, he constantly pushes back and is looking for more information.
I made the joke, but it's not a joke.
He could literally be saying in these press conferences, where am I?
Where's Jill?
Am I wearing underwear?
And he's pressing them for more information, proving the truthfulness of what her statement was.
If a fact checker came in there and said, yes, Joe Biden, in a particularly aggressive, demanding the truth, demanded to know where he was, pressed his staff to know where he was, he's always pushing them for more information, proving that he's competent.
Holy crap.
He's so mentally unfit, they will not even make him take a cognitive test.
They're going to 25th his ass before the next election.
If Father Time doesn't come in.
It's wild.
Remember, these are the people who were armchair diagnosing Donald Trump as unfit, mentally unhinged, psychotic, whatever other terms you want.
These are the people, armchair mental diagnoses of Donald Trump now saying, we're not even going to submit this man who's clearly demented to a cognitive test because he could not...
Oh, dude.
I'm sure, by the way, going back to the beginning, my grandmother could remember the names of her friends from 1925.
She could remember they didn't have telephones back when she was born, but her long-term memory past a certain point was impeccable.
Do you notice how many times she said to me, you had to waste your money on this because she was in a loop, hence loopy.
But she could remember things in the distance, long-term memory.
But my goodness, she couldn't remember sometimes what she did that morning, what she had for breakfast.
It was always half a grapefruit.
We would go to Snowden Delicatessen.
She would have French fries, matzo ball soup, and the smoked meat sandwich.
You'd ask her all the way back, what do you have for breakfast?
Half a grapefruit and a bowl of cereal.
Holy crap.
It was wishful of memories.
But Biden is clearly demented.
You have Karine Jean-Pierre in your face.
Just telling you, screw all of you.
Two plus two equals five.
Joe Biden is mentally capable.
All righty.
Now, big Fannie Willis.
I did a vlog yesterday, breaking it down.
I'm trying to think of the...
There might be another summary to do for tomorrow.
But I'm going to play some clips.
So on...
It's Wednesday today.
On Monday, Ashley Merchant, who...
Oh boy, she's picked a fight with a powerful and spiteful and corrupt woman.
The woman part is not the relevant factor.
She has picked a fight with a powerful, corrupt, amoral human being, Fanny Willis.
I would not be surprised if Ashley Merchant starts getting audited, starts getting pulled over, ticketed, you know.
Bad luck.
Look at that.
It's going to cost you.
Ashley Merchant has picked a fight with a powerful, spiteful, corrupt person and is kicking ass.
I mean, it's amazing.
Now, maybe I'm partial for Ashley because I like what she's doing and I like the results she's getting, but you watch the hearing.
On Monday, where Ashley was defending against various motions to quash the subpoenas that Ashley Merchant issued to a great many people for and on behalf of her client, Michael Roman, you'll understand proper demeanor in front of a judge.
You'll understand mastery of a case, mastery of your case in front of a judge.
You'll understand how to answer questions directly and justify the course of conduct that you are requesting.
And then you can juxtapose that to those attorneys on the other side.
And you will see the do's and do not do's of the practice of law.
Now, I just pulled up a few of the highlights because it's amazing.
Ouch.
Hold on a second.
And so what ended up happening on Monday is Ashley Merchant, attorney for Michael Roman, who's one of the multiple RICO defendants in the Georgia RICO lawsuit, filed a lawsuit.
Alleging that Fannie Willis withheld relevant information, I don't think that this is in the context of that file.
There's a motion to, what's the word?
Disqualify Fannie Willis' office from prosecuting this case because she's allegedly conflicted out of that position because she's boning the external counsel that she hired to prosecute Trump.
She's not just boning him.
Or he's boning her as she's the boney of the boner.
She is arguably, and maybe not arguably, directly or indirectly receiving benefits, financial benefits, from the corrupt arrangement to hire the man that she's been boning via him paying with money that he gets from her for vacations, you know, travel expenses, cruises, etc., etc.
There's also issues that they might have lied under oath as to whether or not they were involved in an extramarital affair.
There's also an issue that Fannie Willis might have lied in front of the church when she said, I paid all of these external prosecutors the same amount when it looks like it's not the case because she paid her boyfriend that's boning her more than the other two.
Okay.
So they made motions to quash.
And the amazing thing is that it wasn't even necessarily the recipient of the subpoenas that were making the motion to quash.
I forget the guy's name.
It starts with a B. Bentley?
One of Nathan Way's business partners received a subpoena.
He didn't make the motion to quash his subpoena.
It was the state that made the motion to quash that guy's subpoena because they don't want that guy talking about anything.
And the judge, who's amazing, is getting through the thick of it.
But I just pulled out some highlights.
We'll walk through them just so we can enjoy them together in real time.
Scott McAfee.
I'm going to see who appointed him in the meantime.
But here, enjoy.
So, there's an issue that Ashley, if she made one mistake, and it's a clerical one, in some of the subpoenas for bank records and corporate information, she didn't specify a date or an object.
Like, we need the bank records or the corporate statements as relates to X, Y, and Z through time period X, Y, and Z. She said, we want the company documents and we want the bank records with no time frame or object.
And the judge said, No, as drafted, I can't issue that subpoena.
She's like, well, I really only wanted the company to validate the documentation that I already have to not ratify, but basically to confirm the documentation that I already have.
So either way, you know, clerical mistakes.
Right now she's saying, I'll say it because you can't...
It's law firm records.
Okay, so other than maybe showing or proving how much money the law firm received as a result of the representation, what's...
Listen to this.
The judge gets it.
It's not that.
He actually paid for most of the trips out of the law firm.
Understand that, by the way.
Ashley, not Ashley McIsaac.
Ashley Merchant is trying to prove the conflict of interest that Fannie was financially benefiting from the arrangement that she has with this man that she hired to prosecute Trump while they were whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears, you know, on a bed of cash that they got from Georgia and the federal government.
The law firm allegedly, and I do believe Ashley knows this for a fact, paid for Nathan Wade's business, not business, sorry, personal travel and that of Fannie Willis.
So listen to what Ashley's saying.
So that's why he paid for personal trips using law firm money.
And there's quite a few different bank accounts.
Paid for personal trips using law firm money.
Which is why I don't mean to sound vague.
It's just there's a couple different bank accounts.
And I have all of the bank records.
And we put a lot of that in our motion, our response, so that the court would have some specifics as to the money that was spent.
But essentially, the money's being spent on Ms. Willis.
Some of the money is being spent on Ms. Willis.
And so it's relevant to show that she has a personal or financial interest, which is the entire issue of disqualification.
So the hearing...
I appreciate this.
I'm not just patting her on the back.
We've seen a number of very competent attorneys, one of whom was Norm Pattis for Alex Jones, even though he didn't get the result that I think he was entitled to.
This is amazing.
Just clear.
To the point.
No hemming and hawing.
Subpoena these records for has nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of Mr. Roman.
Well, you don't have to address that.
Okay.
We want the law firm bank records, corporate records, because we want to know if the law firm was paying for Fannie Willis.
Can you imagine this?
Fannie Willis gets...
Oh, I shouldn't have closed that.
Fannie Willis gets some, you know, bypasses, from what I understand, the Georgia ethics and the Georgia legal requirements to hire external counsel.
Pays her boyfriend more than the other...
External counsel that she hired as well.
Lies about it in front of a church abusing of the name of God.
And in the context of her boning the guy, he's now paying for her trips with the money that she procured to him via this very lucrative, financially advantageous contract.
It's wild.
It's in your face, and it's par for the course.
So I thought that was a great exchange and very elucidating.
Here's another good one.
Listen to this.
Anna Cross, who is, I believe that she's one of the other three external prosecutors as well.
I might be wrong on that, but I don't think I am, but I'll double-check chat if you know, but listen to this one.
There is no good faith basis to believe that they have any information again.
She's never spoken to anyone.
Talking about other witnesses, whether or not they have any knowledge of the extramarital relationship when Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade started cohabitating so they can make evidence of this relationship.
Or at least, you know, sharing a roof while they shared a bed.
I didn't hear a representation that anyone could impeach those witnesses with testimony that they said otherwise.
So I think those are properly quashed even without further inquiry.
Properly quashed even without further inquiry.
In that last bit, you're referring to the investigators?
Yes, sir.
Well, I mean, again, I think that's what Ms. Merchant is putting out here, that her star witness, Mr. Bradley, is able to impeach.
Mr. Bradley is Nathan Wade's partner, apparent lawyer.
I didn't hear the representation that Ms. Merchant said that Mr. Bradley told her that he could, he has personal knowledge that investigators Hill, Green, and Ricks had knowledge of a cohabitation or a personal relationship prior to 2020.
Cohabitation.
Wait for this.
Cohabitation.
What does it mean?
We're going to find out.
By the way, when one lawyer says, maybe my other...
I don't remember them saying that, but maybe I...
Don't be sassy, by the way.
And by the way, thanks for the question.
I'm sure Ashley's going to have a proper answer, and she does.
Your definition of cohabitation?
That depends on what your definition of cohabitation is, Your Honor.
That they stayed at the same house together?
Slept at the same house?
Yes.
That they stayed at the same house and slept at the same house?
Yeah, if that's what we call cohabitation, we've got evidence of that.
They have knowledge of that.
And again, knowledge based on statements that they made to someone else who you do have under subpoena and who you would intend to testify at the hearing.
Yes, and Judge, just for background, when Jay Willis took office, Mr. Bradley had a contract.
Listen to this.
When Willis took office, Bradley...
Nathan Wade, her soon-to-be boyfriend or boyfriend at the time, had a contract with Willis.
So did Mr. Campbell.
They all had contracts.
The whole firm.
There were three partners.
Bradley, Wade, Campbell.
Three-person firm.
They all three had contracts to work at the DA's office.
So they're all working at the DA's office in some capacity.
Two of them had these taint contracts.
So Bradley had...
He had two contracts, actually.
He had a first appearance contract.
Taint attorney.
It doesn't mean what you think it means, although that would be hilarious under the circumstances.
Taint and fanny.
Gross and grosser, but okay.
They have taint contracts, which means they're working for the anti-corruption unit.
Taint contracts means, I don't know if it comes from like tainted evidence or they want to avoid tainted evidence, but it's a taint review.
Reviews evidence that might be privileged or confidential or otherwise.
Protected such that it doesn't get disclosed to the prosecutor unlawfully and unlawfully taint a file.
The firm that Wade allegedly seems to be a partner at, Wade, I forget the other two names now.
It's my problem.
They had taint review contracts with Fannie Willis to determine whether or not they would review stuff that would be submitted to Fannie Willis.
It's not just...
This lawyer that he's partnered with out in Cobb County, they're all together.
They're all intimately together.
Well, I mean, that's good by way of background, but really, I just think, just to get through over that threshold today, and Ms. Cross, I'll let you have the last word here, but I don't know how many times, you know, you may have argued at a closing the pattern of instruction that a single witness, if believed, can establish a fact.
What I'm hearing is, again, emphasizing the conflict in the evidence, and that the state is...
It sounds quite confident that it's going to have an abundance of evidence to show these things are not true at the hearing, but I don't see how I can make that determination on the front end without live testimony subject to cross-examination and an assessment of demeanor and everything else that goes into those kind of determinations.
I don't see a way around that.
This was one of the biggest points also in that hearing, where you have the defense basically saying, none of it's true, none of it's going to be proven, and they don't know anything.
That all is predicated on the idea that they've already testified.
And so it's the risk of getting into the substantive debate when you're on a procedural issue.
The subpoenas were issued to various witnesses.
They wanted to quash them.
They raised various issues.
The reason to quash them can't be, well, they're not going to say anything relevant because we haven't really had time to get them down here and say it.
And unless, you know, it's patently untenable or clearly unlawful, by and large...
In a case, plaintiff is entitled to make their evidence.
And they were arguing as a means of quashing the subpoena what would otherwise be substance to dismiss the testimony after the testimony has occurred.
So it was interesting getting stuck in the merits of the discussion when you're on something more of a procedural matter.
But I think this one was my favorite one.
Listen to this.
This was my classic where I said, oh yeah, you don't have to tell the truth.
You just can't lie.
It's not a hard thing to say.
Some people might think you can have a lie by omission.
Typically, that's always in the context of already saying something but then acutely omitting something that might change the meaning of what you're saying.
The fifth?
You don't have to tell the truth.
Just shut your mouth and don't lie.
Fannie Willis took to the pulpit of God to lie.
Okay.
Ms. Merchant, what haven't you gotten that was on Exhibit A and why is it relevant?
So I have not gotten all of the invoices from Mr. Wade.
I started asking for those back in September through the open records, and I got some of them piecemeal.
I got a couple others that the state attached to their motion.
So the open records officer said I had gotten everything, and then the state attached a couple more.
So now I have even more, but there's still a couple that are outstanding.
So there's several that are outstanding, and we put that in a very detailed pleading and letter to the Fulton County County Attorney.
We have not received a single invoice from Mr. Bradley.
We do not have a current contract for Anna Cross or John Floyd.
And the issue with that is that Ms. Willis made statements that she paid them the same amount of money.
The contracts we have for Mr. Floyd, that is an incorrect statement.
Lord, you're flawed, hard-headed, and imperfect child.
I'm a little confused.
I appointed three special counsels.
Is my right to do?
Paid them all the same hourly rate.
They only each had one.
He was not paid the same amount of money.
We do not have either contract, current contracts for either of those folks.
We don't have anything about the time off requests.
We don't have anything about the reimbursements for Ms. Willis.
And we don't have anything in regards to the last bullet point.
What makes you think the travel reimbursements?
Because everything seemed to be personal travel.
Well, Judge, we're not sure that it's all personal travel, and I don't believe that it is.
This is all evidence that is related to us showing that Ms. Willis had a personal and a financial interest in this prosecution.
Reimbursements for her travel.
We have some reimbursements for Mr. Wade's travel.
So are those trips connected?
Those were the things that we're seeking.
We sought all of these through open records.
It's amazing.
Tomorrow is going to be a very, very fun day.
All right, everybody, let me just see what's going on in here.
Oh, hold up, hold up.
We've got one more rumble rant.
Jules Verne 23 says, Viva is hereby sworn in as an American here forevermore.
Congrats.
You can vote now.
Not yet, but I'm fairly certain I could get away with voting Democrat.
I'm joking, bada bing, bada boom.
Do not break the law, people.
That's how they get you.
Sometimes they get you without even breaking the law, but don't break the law.
Don't give them the excuse that they need.
This is what we're going to do.
Because it's Valentine's Day, I've got to go get some tomato plants.
And someone said, don't just gather the plants, plant them.
Dude.
That's more work than I think I can handle.
Have I forgotten anything on my list of discussions?
No, I'm going to save something exclusive for locals when we go to the local supporters after party.
There's some good news coming out of Canada.
There's some good news coming out of Canada.
I'll leave it there.
Everybody, what day is it today?
It's Wednesday.
Tomorrow, if it is being broadcast, I will do it live.
So stay tuned for that.
The missus is going to be back.
We're going to be back to splitting parental duties.
Booyah!
Duties.
And that's it.
Everybody, happy Valentine's Day.
Get out there and do something special.
I don't know.
Buy a flower?
No idea.
That is it.
Let me see here.
One second.
We'll do it live, says Jules.
Yeah, so that's what's going to come tomorrow.
I'll probably get a car vlog in at some point today just because time might be permitting.
And that is all.
We're going to go to vivabarneslaw.locals.com for the after party.
And if you're not inclined to come, hold on, you should be inclined to come.
It'll be for the supporters only because that is the functionality of Rumble Studio.
Let me go put the link in here.
Link to Locals in the chat on Rumble.
And then you know what's going to happen between now and tomorrow?
Lots and lots of news is what's going to happen.
Well, let me just see one thing here.
I'll go to the news and just see.
Okay, so there doesn't seem to be news.
I'm waiting for three things in the news.
The now-called foreign aid bill being rejected or not voted on.
Angeron's decision, I'm waiting for that to come down.
And I'm waiting for SCOTUS on the Colorado ballot.
People, stay tuned.
News is going to happen and it's going to be amazing.
But for the time being, I'm going to go get locals, get flowers, get kids, and have a Valentine's Day dinner tonight with my parents as well.
It should be fun.
So what I'm going to do now, how do I end this?
On all the platforms.
If I click here.
Oh, yeah, there we go.
Okay.
We are going to locals.
It'll give you like a minute if you want to choose to support.
10 bucks a month, 100 bucks a year if you want to support.
And if not...
Stay tuned because I think, you know, I'm going to put the whole stream.
No, the whole stream was up on YouTube and Rumble the whole time.
That's it.
That's where the party's going to be.
I know I've got some Q&A that I put up before the stream got started.
So if you're not coming, have a great day.
I'll see you later, but certainly tomorrow.
If you are coming, see you there.
And we're ending it now.
Updating stream, people.
See you in a bit.
