Time Text
Later is too late.
Our climate is changing around us, yet we keep polluting.
So what are we doing about it?
This is not an SNL skit, people.
If I get copy claimed by the Canadian government...
We're putting limits on pollution so my grandchildren have clean air to breathe.
Oh yeah, that's good.
That's nice.
We're getting rebates on electric cars.
We're getting rebates.
So I can save money on gas and help the environment.
Help the environment.
We're investing in clean electricity, so I have affordable and reliable power for my home.
Solar panels.
Nice.
Or Tiki Action.
Take action.
Because now is our chance to do better.
For the climate.
For the climate.
For the economy.
For the economy.
For families.
For families.
For the future.
We've been taking real action on climate change and affordable energy.
Oh, this guy.
Putting us on a path to reach our climate targets.
But there's much more to do to build a stronger, healthier, sustainable Canada for tomorrow.
You notice the, um, not that I play the identity politics game.
Not that I play it, but I have eyes and a brain.
The only white male in that entire ad was Stephen Guilbault, the former Minister of Heritage.
I don't know what he is now.
He's Minister of Environment.
The only white male in that entire video was this man from the government.
That ad is the biggest load of crap that you could possibly imagine.
I was going to start with the Andrew Tate, his ad for his new supplement, but I figured I shouldn't do that.
I don't want to.
A couple of reasons.
And then I was going to start with George Takei, a reminder that George Takei admitted on Howard Stern that he inappropriately grabbed men by the genitalia.
But then I said, no, I'll start with something that's not going to make us all gag until Stephen Gilbeau comes in.
Canada is fighting for the environment, people.
I watch these things and I say the same thing over and over again.
You're going electric, eh?
Where do you think you get those rare earth minerals from?
Oh, you're going to windmills, eh?
Where do you think you get the materials from?
Where do you think those propellers of those things go after the machines are defunct because they're not exactly recyclable?
Oh, you're going solar.
Where do you think you get all the minerals for that stuff?
Oh, China!
It's an amazing thing.
Canada, if you buy into the whole climate crisis rubbish, emits one and a quarter percent of the global emissions.
China emits as many as I think the next top three countries, top four countries, the number two polluters in the world, China and India.
And Canada is going to cripple its economy and go green.
With electric vehicles.
Oh yeah, as if nothing charges those vehicles, you raging dumbasses.
As if the batteries for those vehicles don't come from China mining in foreign countries.
To the, what's the opposite of detriments?
To the benefit of China.
Go turn other countries into environmental wastelands, but at least Canada looks proper and you can, you know, feign some moral superiority for everything that you're doing.
Is actually exacerbating what you argued to be the problem in the first place.
I loathe Stephen Gilbo.
Stephen Gilbo, the guy you saw at the end of this video, is the minister who effectively lied about the Online Streaming Act not going to govern individual user accounts.
Look at this guy.
Canada could cease to exist as an emitting country.
And it would have no impact on global emissions and what they argue to be the actual environmental problems.
All that Canada and that jackass are doing are outsourcing pollution.
They are benefiting economically, financially, and in all other respects, global power-wise, China, India, to the detriment of Canada.
But at the very least, they get to tweet out, we've gone green.
We're good for the environment.
It's going to be sort of like a TimCast episode.
We're going to talk about the news items and the ones that Phil is covering in particular.
But what was I just about to say?
But he's going to join us.
I hate doing ad reads when I have a guest on the screen.
So I said, I'll start with a little gaggery.
Then we're going to go to the Healthy Stuff, which is the sponsor of the Day Field of Greens.
I'll get there in a second.
And then I'm going to bring in Phil.
We're going to talk about the latest updates in the Fannie Willis case.
We're going to talk about the Baltimore Bridge disaster.
And some wild...
I didn't even put it together, people.
Some wild coincidences.
And I'm not saying it's a plan and, like, what do they call it?
Predictive programming?
But for goodness sake, you can't ignore the fact that White Noise, that Netflix movie, started off with a train derailment disaster in East Palestine.
You can't ignore that and say, oh, you're a crazy person for noticing that.
Coincidence simulation plan, whatever you want to call it, you can't ignore it.
And there's some wild ones with the Baltimore Bridge.
And then we're going to talk about Canada.
As everyone can see from the thumbnail.
Can everyone see the thumbnail?
Thumbnail's amazing.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Let me...
I gotta feature the work of DSLR Dave.
Let's see here.
Open up.
There you go.
If I go like this...
I'll show you the thumbnail for the day.
If I go to window, look how good this thumbnail is.
DSLR Dave is amazing.
We're going to talk about Canada being a death cult under Justin Trudeau's...
Hitlerian progressivism.
We'll get there.
But before we get there, you might have noticed, as I'm sure you did when you came into the stream, it says, contains a paid promotion.
Because it does, and I love the company.
Where's my field of greens?
Someone cleaned up the office and took away my field of greens.
People, live healthy, be healthy.
It means exercise, sunlight, getting out and talking to people in real life.
And it also means eating your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
Five to seven servings of raw fruits and vegetables is what everyone is supposed to be eating.
Not everyone eats it.
Healthy eating habits are not exactly the cornerstone of a great many people's diets, and people have bad habits.
Eat your fruits and veggies if you can.
If you can't, and even if you can, fieldofgreens.com.
It will bring you to Brick House Nutrition.
It's a desiccated green.
It is not an extract, and it's not a supplement.
Which was going to be my joke with Andrew Tate's commercial, but whatever.
It is not...
It's a food.
It's USDA organic.
You put one spoonful in a glass of water, stir it around, it tastes delicious.
One spoonful has one serving of fruits and vegetables.
It'll give you all the powerful antioxidants, the benefit of fruits and vegetables.
And you can use it also to substitute out the bad habits.
A disgusting diet Coke.
Diet Cokes are not healthy.
They are probably, I don't even know if it's probably worse.
Aspartame, sucralose is a bit of a problem.
Stevia, all of these...
Healthy alternatives to sugars have their problems.
You know what doesn't have their problems?
Fruits and vegetables, desiccated, made in America.
It's delicious.
One spoonful twice a day will give you one serving of fruits and vegetables twice a day.
That's two servings of fruits and vegetables twice a day.
You go to fieldofgreens.com.
It brings you to BrickCast Nutrition.

The link is in the description, people.
You know the thing with the thing.
Thank you, Field of Greens.
Now!
Phil is in the back.
Phil is a new face to the LawTube.
A new, welcome face with a delightful, uplifting, upbeat attitude and some amazing insights.
And I love his accent.
You all know that I love the Southern accent.
And I've got something on the backdrop.
I'm saving it for later so that YouTube doesn't copy-claim the entire stream.
But I've got a joke that I ran by Phil earlier on today.
Phil, I'm bringing you in.
Phil Holloway, Georgia lawyer.
Sir, how goes the battle?
Hey, how y 'all?
Now I'm going to make sure that the audio levels, you're going to level out in a second.
How is the audio?
I'm going to ask in locals.
Bill, for those out there who might not know who you are, I think many of them do by now, who are you?
Well, have you ever heard that song, Don't Trust Your Soul to Know Backwoods Southern Lawyer?
I'm a lawyer from...
I grew up in South Georgia, but I practice now in the metro Atlanta area.
I've been practicing criminal law for almost 30 years now.
And I've also got a been for the last, I don't know, at least 10 years or more.
I've been doing a good bit of media.
And so I'm now venturing into the law tubing with a lot of help from people like you and Eric Hundley and Nate, the lawyer.
And I'm sure I'm leaving off a lot.
I'm always happy to come on your show as well because I love getting to know...
Obviously, your audience is a lot bigger, but we have a lot of the same people that will watch you, they'll watch my show, they'll watch Eric and Laidback Law and all these others in the LawTube arena.
Obviously, it makes sense to talk with each other because that way we get the best of both worlds.
Well, I pick the brains of people who I know know more than me.
I'm sending myself the link that you sent me so I can bring it up when we talk about this.
I like to pick the brains of...
The closer you get to the source, the more accurate the information and the more insightful the insight?
The more accurate the insights.
We came across each other specifically in the Fannie Willis case because you're in Georgia, you're scooping things as they happen and you are a Georgia lawyer who knows the ins and outs and corruption of the system.
So I'm going to pull up the...
People can find you, Phil Holloway, there.
I should put your links in the top as well.
I forgot to say two things actually before.
First of all, Am I le become...
Am I...
Oh, Am I...
Am I le became a YouTube member.
I thought it was Am I le become...
Became a YouTube member.
I thought they turned off my members on...
Is that on yours or on mine?
We're not cross-streaming, right?
No, because when...
Well, we are.
We're cross-streaming as we agreed to as part of our contract.
Yeah, cool.
So, it's not mine.
People who join my channel, I've got three groups.
It's small claims, I've got grand jury, and I've got superior court.
Those are my levels.
Dude, I think this might be yours.
I don't think this is mine because I think YouTube turned off my memberships a little while ago.
Either way, welcome to...
Either Phil or my channel.
Somebody sent some members here.
Six o 'clock, by the way, we're going to be done, and I put what they call a redirect link in the stream because I was on The Unusual Suspects.
It's a Patrick Bet David Valuetainment show that they got, and they invite me on tonight.
It's just down the street, so I keep going.
It's going to be a good show tonight.
Six o 'clock for redirect.
But Phil, what's the news today?
I'll pull it up while you tell us, but what's the latest coming out of Georgia?
So you know how the other day or last week we had the big news about the disqualification order.
The judge gave permission for it to be appealed.
We call that an interlocutory appeal.
It's a pre-trial appeal because, let's face it, when it's something that's really important, you don't want to wait until somebody gets convicted and you have to appeal each thing together all at the same time.
When it's really, really important, some things get to be appealed.
Prior to a verdict in the case, and so the disqualification order under Georgia, you have to have two things have to happen.
The trial judge has to agree that you can appeal it, and then the Court of Appeals has to agree to take it, okay?
Now, there are some things that can be appealed pre-trial as a matter of right, but most things are discretionary, this being one of them.
So what's happened is another co-defendant, a guy named Harrison Floyd, if you remember, Harrison Floyd was the poor guy who got stuck in jail for two or three weeks in the Fulton County hell pit where people die by getting infested by bedbugs.
Literally, this happens in the Fulton County jail.
He didn't get a bond.
He got kept there for a while.
We need to highlight that because we talked about it at the time.
There were not memes, but accusations of...
Potential racism since he was the only, as far as I know, the only black accused and was the only one denied bond.
There was some sort of steel man explanation as to why he...
Why he did not get bond, but do you remember what that was?
Yeah, Fannie Willis basically said, well, he didn't have a lawyer, so nobody was able to come and talk.
They could have arranged for him to have a bond, even though he didn't have a lawyer.
So that was a BS explanation, in my opinion, by her.
Finally, he got a lawyer, and Chris Katcherov, I'll tell you, is doing a great job.
He's an out-of-state lawyer, but he represents Harrison Floyd.
He was admitted, I don't know how you say in Canada, but it's pro-hack.
ProHackVice, yeah.
ProHackVice, whatever.
With a southern accent, it's ProHackVice.
Anyway, he's admitted he's got a local lawyer helping him out, but Chris is on vacation in South America.
I won't say exactly where he is, but I did text him to confirm that the judge granted his motion to...
To do a pretrial appeal, a discretionary pretrial appeal on a really unique issue.
And the issue that was appealed, so they claim that Willis did not have the authority to pursue a criminal case because she did not get a referral for such from the Georgia Board of Elections.
And the judge held a hearing on this, denied the motion, but is going to allow...
The pretrial appeal.
But once again, we still have to have the other piece of it.
The Court of Appeals has to chime in and agree to it.
But this is another really, really important issue.
I think equally important as some of the other issues in the case.
The judge seems to be erring on the side of allowing these litigants to take these issues up on appeal.
And lots of things.
This means a lot of things.
It means that...
Obviously, there's going to be delays and there's practical consideration, but if there's one thing I can't stand as a judge who thinks that they're always right, that they can't conceive that they might have gotten something wrong, some judges will deny these discretionary pretrial appeals.
Just because they're too prideful.
They don't want to admit they could have gotten something wrong.
And if they allow the appeal to be done before the trial, it can save a whole bunch of problems down the road, especially if the judge did get it wrong and we have to do a whole trial.
Can you imagine doing this case over and over again because the judge was too prideful to allow these issues to be decided pre-trial?
Well, I mean, what's his face?
If Nathan Wade was still in the file and still getting paid, I don't think he would mind.
But back it up just a bit.
Harrison Floyd was the only one of the defendants jailed.
Do you remember for how long?
I was trying to find a date.
I would say two weeks, give or take a day or two.
But this is a jail where people die in there on a regular basis.
It's mind-boggling.
So this is the jail where there was the incident, I think Barnes talked about it, of the inmate who rat-infested, cockroach-infested, died, and it made the headlines.
And also just to back up one thing here, you say appeal of right versus appeal with permission.
I mean, I was trying to draw the analogies under Quebec law.
There are certain issues that arise where you literally stop everything.
You go right up to the court of appeal because it's an appeal of right.
You don't need permission.
And it's evidentiary issues typically.
In this case, to appeal the non-disqualification, because it's technically not something that is determinative on its face, it required the certificate from Scott.
Which he issued.
And then it requires the Court of Appeal a panel to say, yes, we're going to hear it, or no, we're not going to hear it.
And Scott, thanks for the certificate, but it goes back down to you?
Almost.
You get a 95 out of 100 if that's a law school exam.
It's assigned to a panel of three judges, and it takes just one of those judges to agree to hear it.
That's why I think it's more likely that these issues will be allowed to be appealed pretrial.
Okay, so that's interesting.
So the certificate's been issued.
It goes up.
It takes one of the panel of three to say, yes, we're going to hear it.
Then they hear it.
Majority decision, obviously.
Yeah, that's right.
It'll be, you know, it's just like anything else on appeal.
Normally, if you get a panel of three judges and two out of the three, you know, vote in a certain way, then that's going to be the order of the Court of Appeals.
But then you get a petition for rehearing.
You can ask for the, you know, candidate, I'm sure you say en banc, but down here we say en banc, sort of where all the judges, you know, weigh in.
And then, of course, you can go to the Georgia Supreme Court after that.
So it's just the first step in the process.
How long are we expected to wait until we find out if the Court of Appeals is going to hear it?
Well, so we've got the clock is ticking.
It's like 45 days from the issuance of the trial judge's certificate.
And so now we're, I don't know, a week or 10 days into the other one.
Birdies tell me that they expect a decision.
From the Court of Appeals in, I don't know, maybe this week or next week, they don't think it's going to take 45 days for the Court of Appeals to make a decision on hearing the disqualification.
But look, remember, Fannie's taken up something as well.
She had, before the disqualification, she had Trump and some others had several of their counts tossed by the judge.
And when a judge tosses the But certain counts in the indictment, the prosecutor gets to appeal that as a matter of right, and they don't have to get permission.
So I think Fannie is going to be appealing where Trump and some of the other defendants had, I think, five counts cut out of the indictment already.
So there's a lot going up on appeal here.
Yeah, those are the six charges as relates to the phone call, because they didn't allege with specificity what provisions of the respective oaths were violated, but they left in the underlying acts.
At issue, because apparently the acts are not the indictment, so you can leave those in because they might be useful for other charges?
Something like that, yep.
You got it.
Very cool.
Okay, so that's an appeal as of right, and because if she doesn't, she either moves on with the file without those six charges, or the alternatives are what she can...
Can they do a superseding indictment now, or do they resubmit everything for...
Yeah, she can.
But guess what?
If she does a superseding indictment...
Everything starts over.
You've got to have arraignment.
She's screwed because, from her perspective, she doesn't want to do a superseding indictment.
She probably doesn't want to go forward without those charges, and she doesn't want to spend the time to appeal.
I feel like she might consider a superseding indictment, but my gut tells me she's just going to barrel ahead with what she's got, minus those counts, because she's just that She's just that way.
How many charges were in there?
There were like 40 some odd?
I don't know.
She's still got a lot left.
She's still got some more spaghetti to throw at the wall.
Phil, what was it?
I'm going to bring this up.
I haven't looked at this motion yet because you sent it right before we got started.
It's not a motion.
This is a post-hearing brief.
What are we looking at here?
What does this pertain to?
All right.
Oh.
You know what?
I sent you...
I apologize.
I sent you the wrong thing.
What I thought...
This is good to talk about.
What I thought I sent you was the petition for the Certificate of Immediate Review from Harrison Floyd.
Okay, so what this is...
All right, so there's a hearing...
What's today?
Wednesday.
There's a hearing tomorrow.
Donald Trump and some of the other defendants have filed motions to dismiss the indictment or parts of it and to...
And some of the defendants have asked that certain language be stricken from the indictment.
Trump, one of the things that he's challenging, this is a First Amendment challenge because Trump is saying, look, this is, he's got a First Amendment.
And by the way, he's right.
He's got a constitutional First Amendment right to speak about a particular political speech.
That's the most protected of all kinds of free speech, right?
It's almost more protected than anything else.
The political system, it takes on an extra sort of guarantee of freeness, if you will.
And so to be prosecuted for making a statement, even if it's not true, you know, about something political in nature is, I think, First Amendment protected speech.
And so he's raising that issue and constitutional claims, like this is a constitutional defense.
I believe, now there are some lawyers that disagree with me on this.
I've had conversations today about it with some involved in the case even.
There's not really an agreement, but I believe that this is in the category of cases where you don't have to, if Trump loses this, He gets to appeal this as a matter of right because it's a constitutional defense.
I don't think it requires a certificate of immediate review, but hey, the judge is handing those things out like Halloween candy anyway.
So regardless, this is going to be something that either the defense or the prosecutor will take up the judge's ruling on Trump's motion to dismiss on First Amendment grounds.
All right.
And that hearing is tomorrow?
That's tomorrow.
That's my understanding.
Do we know if it's live broadcast?
Yeah, it will be.
McAfee's got his own YouTube channel, and I subscribe to it.
I'm sure you do, too.
I'm going right now.
He's got one, for sure.
I subscribe to it.
He's got his own YouTube channel, Judge Scott McAfee.
McAfee?
And what time is this going to be on?
Oh, that's a good question.
I don't know, but I'm sure someone in our chat already knows and they can tell us.
Well, I just subscribed and I'm turning on all notifications.
I think it's, well, you're going to get notifications every time he takes a guilty plea on another case or has an adoption or whatever, because he basically has his courtroom open to the public, which I think is fantastic, by the way.
He has it open to the public through YouTube.
Absolutely.
That's amazing.
Okay, well, I'll see what time that streams at and probably get on it myself.
So those are the latest...
I still can't get over the fact that they did not...
Harrison Floyd was held in jail for an extended period of time on these charges where they literally let out violent assaults on police officers with zero cash bond.
It makes absolutely no sense.
That's the latest coming out of Georgia?
Yep, so at least as it pertains to this, we've got, she's simultaneously, she's got this big fanny, has this giant Rico case going against Atlanta rapper Young Thug.
Have you heard about that?
Yep.
Yep, so Young Thug is still going.
They had to take a day off because somebody was sick, and the jail said it was going to take them at least 24 hours to evaluate their health.
I'm telling you, you cannot understate how terrible of a shithole that...
That Fulton County Jail is, I'll tell you, I recently am involved in a case where they kept somebody in jail like three or four weeks.
After a judge ordered their release, simply because nobody would process the paperwork, and that's a case I'm personally involved with.
Ashley Merchant, who is the hero of all this, the Erin Brockovich, she and her husband John have successfully sued the Fulton County Jail because of conditions down there.
I can't tell you how bad it is.
It's just awful, in my opinion.
All right.
Well, I'm asking the chat to see if we know what time it is tomorrow, because I think we'll be covering that.
I think it's in the morning, but don't hold me to that.
Yeah, no, no.
Should it go on the entire day, or is it going to be a shortish motion, like an hour and a half?
Well, there's a number of defendants who need to be heard from, so I don't know that it'll be all day, but it won't be an hour, hour and a half situation.
I think it's going to require a fair amount of argument.
Okay.
Amazing.
Okay, what else?
So for the time being, nothing more out of Georgia, the young thug, I haven't been following it.
Have you been following that?
Yeah.
In fact, I had a guest on my channel the other day who's very familiar with it, Rachel Kaufman, and we had a nice discussion about it.
One of the state's witnesses, he testified how high, he was like, Judge, I'm really high right now.
I'm about to fall asleep.
This was literally under oath.
And instead of like...
Holding him in contempt or doing something else, the judges gave him some water and moved on like, hey, just no big deal.
We're going to let witnesses who tell us they're high as a kite, you know, when people's lives are on the line, these defendants, I'm not saying they're guilty or innocent, I don't know, but I know that they're all charged with giant RICO indictment and the state's own witnesses come to court and they're high and they say that they're about to fall asleep and can you give me some water and the judge just lets them go on with it.
How can you have any faith in the Mm-hmm.
I'm not sure I want to follow the Young Thug case.
It's going to be enough now.
It's almost too much for you to...
I mean, that's why it took me a while to kind of get into it because they were putting lawyers in jail early in the trial, like during jury selection.
They were putting jurors in jail.
He's making jurors write essays when they show up for court late.
All kinds of craziness happening.
Lawyers are...
One of the defendants wound up going back into the jail and they found some contraband.
So naturally, they had to assume that it was his attorney that slipped him the weed or whatever in court.
And so now they started searching all the attorney's bags more.
And it's just crazy.
It's just lunacy what's going on in that trial.
But we could talk about that all day.
Well, I mean, who is the external counsel in that RICO case?
Is there external counsel there?
No, of course not.
No, no.
She's got assistant DAs handling that one.
Yeah, in-house people that are paid a salary to be there every day, whether they're prosecuting young thug or doing something else.
That's the way it's supposed to be.
Fulton County has a full stable of licensed attorneys down there that are on their full-time payroll that can be doing all of this.
Are you up to speed on what's happening with P. Diddy?
Only to say that, yes, I mean, unless there's been, I've been in court most of the day myself, so unless something's broken, I am following that, and I'm very curious to see, you know, what's going to play out, because is this an overreaction by, you know, law enforcement authorities, or is there really, you know, is it smoke, or is there actually some fire here?
We're going to talk about this also, or at least we talked about it on The Unusual Suspects.
Let me hit pause on this.
I hate using Fox News.
Barnes talked about it last night, and I love his insights for those who missed the bourbon with Barnes.
Let me get this out of here.
A lot of interesting videos are resurfacing of him with young people, but Barnes' take on this, and it's one that I share.
We don't have the info yet.
We don't know what's going on.
We don't know who's going to get charged.
We know that there's been a bunch of arrests and raids, Florida and California.
You operate on the presumption.
That Biden is corrupt and any prosecution is going to be, it might be legitimate, but it might be politically motivated or it might be outright corrupt.
A lot of people are suggesting when you have people like 50 Cent saying, well, we're supporting Trump.
When you have Kanye coming out and not supporting Biden, some people might feel rightly or wrongly that this is a shot across the bow, a warning shot to the black slash hip-hop community.
Don't support Trump.
And if you do, the Biden-man is going to come after you.
And that's not to say, I'm not defending P. Diddy because the dude's a freaking weirdo.
You see the videos that he had with his daughter's best friend that he put on Instagram joking about having picked her up off the streets and adopted a white girl.
His business with Justin Bieber going back years where they had what many would argue is a suspicious relationship.
But I mean, that's it.
So we have now raids and we haven't had charges yet.
Do you have any idea why Department of Homeland Security would be involved in this?
You know, I have no idea why DHS would be involved in it.
I mean, this whole thing started as I understand it.
Following claims that were made in a civil lawsuit.
The civil lawsuit was settled.
This always raises a red flag to me as a criminal defense lawyer.
When a criminal case starts as a civil case where somebody's trying to get money out of somebody who's got a lot of money, then it makes you wonder if the motivations in making these claims are We obviously, sexual assault and human trafficking and all those things, they're very horrible, but they're also easy to fabricate those claims.
And oftentimes, once people, I don't know, clothe themselves with the label of being a victim, then they start to experience people treating them like a victim.
And then, you know, they're almost elevated to being put on some kind of a pedestal.
And so it motivates them to...
Continue to claim a continued or additional victim status, and these things tend to snowball.
So it's hard to separate what's true victimhood from what is perceived or feigned victimhood.
And I just don't know, but I do know that when you're Diddy and you act as bizarrely as he does, you kind of invite this kind of scrutiny.
So for the points that you brought out, this is not surprising that they are looking into this.
It's almost like, who's the other rapper?
Help me out.
The one who's saying, I believe I can fly R. Kelly.
I'm having a Joe Biden moment.
So R. Kelly, that was a similar kind of thing.
I think when you're...
When you get in this lifestyle that so many of these artists live, where there's a lot of money, there's a lot of alcohol, there may be drugs, and there's a lot of attention seeking, not only by the artists, but by the people who are in their orbit, it's just a recipe for this kind of thing to be claimed.
Well, you had the neighbor who, at least someone purporting to be the neighbor, says, I never get my basketball when it goes over the fence because they're weird there.
They have allegedly busloads of young people being dropped off at three in the morning.
Stories that every drink in the house is spiked.
Who was it?
There was a young person, and I think it was Justin Bieber.
It might have been somebody else saying, you know, things were going on that young people shouldn't have been exposed to.
There's a difference between Hollywood degeneracy or media degeneracy and...
Sex trafficking, human exploitation, underage sexual activity.
I have no doubt, no problem believing or no reluctance believing that that type of dirtiness went on.
It's a hellhole of an industry.
The question is, you know, why now?
Is it politically motivated, even if there's legitimacy to the raids and to what's going on?
But, man, no, no, you go back and you rewatch everything.
You know who Cat Williams is?
Yeah.
Let me go back.
You're talking about the hip-hop.
The music industry, like here in Atlanta, back to our other discussion about Fanny Willis, they're really pissed off at her because of what she's doing in the Young Thug case.
Because what they're using is they're using lyrics to rap music and using it as substantive evidence of a crime.
That's Fanny Willis' theory.
So she's made no friends amongst the...
Sort of the rap music industry, at least as it pertains to here in Atlanta.
But I think that this thing has tentacles.
So I don't know that we can really say that that particular constituency is squarely in the Biden camp.
It may not be in the Trump camp either, but Biden doesn't have them locked up by any manner of means because of a lot of these prosecutions that they don't agree with.
Yeah, we talked about that in terms of using lyrics as evidence of crimes.
No, it's wild, but now people are fishing through all of these old videos of P. Diddy, people who spoke out about P. Diddy.
I think 50 Cent was one of them.
Cat Williams is definitely one of them.
And we'll see.
Charges have not been brought yet, as far as I understand, right?
Yeah, that's the last I heard.
It was just simply the search warrants and the raids.
But the thing is, they were complaining about how militant and how aggressive these officers were.
And look, I'm a former law enforcement, and I've served search warrants.
And I know that there's no time for kit gloves, but it is possible to be.
Too aggressive as well.
Because you've got to remember, there might be children present.
There might be third parties that have nothing to do with anything.
People are presumed innocent.
So while the officers do need to go in, and they need to be careful.
This is not the time to be sort of soft-shoe at anything.
But by the same token, they can't overdo it.
Now, whether they actually were too aggressive or whether this is just PR spin out of his camp, I don't know.
Look, I have no trouble believing that they were that aggressive because, look, we've seen it, and with respect to some of the people that were arrested that are in Trump's orbit, we've seen it in other political prosecutions recently, so it certainly rings true with me.
Yeah, no, there's, was it Roger Stone who had the pre-dawn raid?
You had the pro-life activist?
Yeah.
And I stand corrected, I forgot, his drug dealer has been arrested.
Look at all these ads.
This is unwatchable.
This is unusable.
Who is Brendan Paul?
Diddy's alleged drug mule arrested at Miami airport.
Has music sports background.
What's the date on that?
Is that today?
That was yesterday, I believe.
Oh my, look at this.
See, everybody knows what I look up.
Gold coins, field of greens, and preparation age.
Okay, bada bing, bada boom.
This was March 26th.
Yeah, so yesterday.
So there's one arrest and there's a lot of suspicion as to why.
No, no, no, no, no.
Stop that.
How do I get this out?
Remove.
And then there's supposition that Diddy is now on an island that has no extradition policy with the United States.
So much is swirling.
We'll see where it goes.
Now, another story.
Have you been following the Baltimore Bridge disaster?
Who hasn't?
That's so crazy.
And right out of the gate, I mean, right out of the gate, we've got...
Obviously, you're going to have conspiracy theories, and some of them are really...
Some of them are like, well, hmm, that makes you really think.
But some of them are just so like absolutely so far from just in la-la land.
But there are some of them out there that are like, now, wait a minute, maybe is it possible?
Things that really make you think.
And I'm not usually one to easily succumb to conspiracy theories.
And my core tells me that there's not much going on here.
But let's just say that I'm intrigued by some things that I've seen.
Well, okay, there's various levels of conspiracy theory.
It was detonations on the bridge that brought it down.
I'll show a couple of slow-mo videos of people who think that's...
I'm not writing anything off.
I'm not laughing anything off.
We've lived through times where if you don't ask the questions, you might be less informed than if you ask the silly questions, which, as they say, there's no silly question.
But the...
This is my personal favorite of the conspiracy theories.
Everybody remembers the disaster in East Palestine was the pretext or the plot of an episode of White Noise, a Netflix television show, that started off with a train derailment disaster.
If it wasn't East Palestine, it was in a small Ohio town.
I had totally forgotten about this.
I'm not lending any credence to the idea that this is pre-programmed or whatever.
Jimmy Corsetti, who is this guy?
YouTuber, former fraud investigator, NBA veteran, conspiracy, pseudoscience.
Okay, it's fun.
But he writes, why on earth did Barack Obama produce a Netflix film about a catastrophic cyber attack?
Opening scene from Leave the World Behind.
I totally forgot about it.
And you have a ship that had been hacked that ran ashore.
And that was the beginning of...
Leave the world behind.
Look, I'm just going to tell you, I haven't watched anything that Barack Obama has put out almost intentionally, but...
This is really, really a crazy coincidence.
Now, it's my understanding that that ship, though, is so old.
It's not one of the ones that has the modern technology where it could be controlled remotely like some of them.
So if it's all analog stuff, I don't know how you would hack it, but I'm no expert on shipping.
I was in the Navy, but I was a lawyer, so what do I know?
And in fairness, I mean, there has been video emerging of this ship having other problems colliding with the dock.
I do want to show this one because I'm going to take that conspiracy one step further.
In Leave the World Behind, the ship was called, or the vessel was called White Lion.
Well, the ship that crashed into Baltimore was called Dali.
And Dali had this sketch from 1956.
What's it called?
It's called Lion.
So, it's funny.
I'm not really entirely serious about it, but have you seen the movie Magnolia?
It's been a minute.
You have to refresh me.
Oh, well, Magnolia is P.T. Anderson or...
It's not Louis Anderson.
You got P.T. Anderson who did Magnolia, and then who's the guy that did all of the Royal Tenenbaums?
That's another Anderson.
Magnolia is the movie that starts off with a string of coincidences.
The kid who's jumping off a building and he gets shot as he's falling down by his parents who are involved in an argument because the kid put real live ammunition in the rifle.
And it's got some of these urban legends, you know, the scuba divers.
Paul Thomas Anderson.
So Paul Thomas is Magnolia.
Who is Wes Anderson?
Okay, thanks, guys.
So Wes Anderson is the cutesy one.
Paul Thomas Anderson did Magnolia Boogie Nights.
Those are the only two I can remember right now.
But the opening scene to that is urban legends.
You know, this blackjack dealer who deals a losing hand to a drunken patron.
Patron ends up being a scuba diver who's swimming in a pond, gets picked up by the plane to put out a forest fire, and then gets dropped onto the trees and dies.
And the other one was the best urban legend was...
A family, a parent and a mother and a father are fighting.
They always fight.
The father always took out a gun, pointed at the mother, but it was never loaded.
The kid who wanted the parents to kill each other loads the gun and then goes on the roof to commit suicide.
Wouldn't have successfully killed himself because there was a net that would have caught his landing, but the father pointing the gun shoots it.
It goes through the window, hits the kid as he's falling down, kills the kid, and then the joke was that the kid was an accomplice in his own murder.
I don't think the story...
The story never happened.
I looked it up, but...
So it's one of these coincidences.
Like, my goodness.
It starts off the same way.
When that Leave the World Behind came out, people were talking predictive programming.
It's called the White Lion.
Dali, the name of this boat, painted the White Lion.
This boat was going to Sri Lanka.
On the Sri Lankan flag is a big lion.
It's like Gematria a little bit.
You can make connections to numbers.
Do you think your initial reaction, just an accident?
Yeah, because the simplest explanation usually is the right one.
Now, that being said, I'm not going to marry myself to any preconceived notions about what may or may not have happened because I've seen and experienced some really bizarre things where, you know, in my life or in my career where things that at face value might seem coincidental, but maybe really there was somebody kind of pulling some strings.
I'm not saying that's what happened.
But, I mean, I've been a pilot now for, Since 1986.
And so, ironically, I like watching this show called Air Disasters, which is so weird as a pilot.
Why would I want to watch that?
But one thing that you always see, whether it's a shipping accident or an air crash, there's always a string of circumstances that...
It's not one thing.
It's not like one little thing causes it.
It's always a series of errors or mistakes.
Oftentimes, human errors, negligence, very seldom intentional, but it's always like the string of things that adds up that leads to some kind of catastrophe.
If I had to bet money right now, I would say that that's what the investigation is going to, if you believe the investigation, but that's what the investigation is going to Determine is that there was not one causal factor, but a series of causal factors when you connect them all together that led to this disaster.
I'll bring these up because this is where also I don't jump to these conclusions because, look, when massive catastrophes happen, I don't know how things are supposed to act physically, materially.
You see sparks coming off the bridge.
And I don't know if that's...
You know, when a bridge collapses, what are you expected to see?
Who knows?
This is Marty up north, who I follow.
He's gone.
He admits that he's in a full conspiracy, but why not?
It's sort of interesting to analyze.
So, you know, people say it looks like it was detonated, like people thought with the Twin Towers.
Who the hell knows what sparks...
Emit in random places when there's mass catastrophe, mass collapse.
Well, aren't there power lines?
I mean, there's certainly electricity running up and down that bridge because, you know, it's got lighting on it and other things, and they've got people working on it as well.
So there's bound to be some type of electrification.
You know, I'm not saying the bridge was electrified, but there's certainly power.
Gables running along the upper portion.
Gotta be.
It's got to be.
And so, interesting idea that it was an old enough vessel that it couldn't be cyber-attacked.
I mean, I don't know how that works.
If you can upgrade and have some sort of...
You have to have some sort of digital system on a boat if it's going to be...
I mean, old is one thing, but so old that it's not susceptible of cyber-attack, who knows?
There are other theories that the power went out twice.
They had a Mayday five minutes in.
And some people suggesting power goes out, it gets taken over, redirects.
Power goes out again, it gets cyberattacked, redirected, and goes right into the, what's it called, the foundation.
Well, so I do know this.
I mean, again, I was a lawyer in the Navy.
I wasn't a ship driver, but I do know this because the ship drivers taught it to me.
These ships, you can't just stop them on a dime.
You can't turn them on a dime.
It takes miles sometimes to turn them and a long, long way to stop them.
I can't imagine that in a very short period of time, 30 seconds or even a minute or even more, that some outside influence could control that ship to turn it and make it crash just the way it did into that pylon of that bridge.
So it just seems to me to be implausible that it was taken over by some entity that would have had time to...
To reposition the ship so that it crashed that way.
What do I know?
I'm just a lawyer, but we all have opinions, right?
The beams were pre-cut, had thermite placed in them so that it would do it.
If you're going to do it that way, there's other easier ways to do it.
We'll see.
What was I going to say?
Also, the thing about predictive programming, there have been train disasters, rail disasters.
There'll be boat disasters and plane disasters.
Hollywood, to some extent, doesn't reflect reality.
In that sense, it plays off of historical things that happen.
And then there's just wild coincidences when there's that many movies being made, that many things happening, that many vessels in the ocean.
It's not a matter of time, but it's, yeah.
But I'm open to ideas.
I'm not jumping to conclusions.
More inclined to think a series of catastrophic failures and probably some construction designs on that bridge.
From what I understand, it didn't have...
It didn't have those, like, not a guardrail, but something to deflect.
Well, you can, right.
They put up, I forget what they call, but you can put up these barriers that, you know, that they go around the, I don't know, the pylon, the part of the bridge that was hit.
You can put up these.
It's almost like, you know, when I was in D.C. a few months ago, outside all the federal buildings, there's these big, giant...
You could put something like that around it that would deflect any kind of a ship or anything moving at it.
And if you put them out far enough, it would prevent this.
And so I think that is more of a modern design versus that bridge.
Abutment is the word.
Yeah, that's the word.
See, there's always so many smart people in these chats that know these things.
When you reach thousands of people, you get an answer and a correct one in no time at all.
That's it.
It's wild.
It was wild to see it collapse.
You know when you used to make those popsicle sticks and you'd make ninja stars out of them?
Five sticks, you'd weave them together.
I don't have popsicles to do them with anymore.
I'm just reading some of the chat.
We'll see where that goes.
Phil, how closely are you following what I call the Shiite that's going up in Canada?
Oh, with Trudeau?
Yeah, only because you brought it to my attention.
So I do know that socialized medicine is a road to ruin, and it looks like Trudeau is going full speed ahead.
It's a road to...
Socialized medicine is a road to euthanasia.
I won't go through the entire thing, because I...
Postmillennial reported on it yesterday, and I had to go pull up the decision to make sure...
Look at how these decisions are published.
It's unreadable.
It's unreadable, the format here.
I'll highlight the sections, but this is a case in Canada where we've now legalized, constitutionalized the right to die with dignity, which I don't think many people disagree with in its purest and most properly applied form.
Someone's got terminal pancreatic cancer and doesn't want to wait until...
The inevitable anguish.
For sure.
Alzheimer's, ALS.
That would be me.
Absolutely.
And I've known my father-in-law passed away from cancer.
I mean, he hid it well and didn't suffer for long.
But Lord knows, when there's no point, I believe people believe in miracles, but at some point people say, no prospect of improvement and it's only misery.
We understand that.
In Canada, the Liberal government passed this legislation in 2016.
And while they're debating it, I don't know how it comes up.
They say, you know, like, it's unconstitutional, according to the Supreme Court, to deny this right to die with dignity to the terminally ill.
Well, we don't want to deny this constitutional right to the mentally ill.
And they actually had this debate, and then they actually said, okay, well, we're going to extend euthanasia, medical assistance in dying, by their euphemism, to the mentally ill, but we don't want to do it just yet, so we're going to include an exclusion.
That was going to expire the sunset clause in 2023.
They extended it to 2024.
And I think maybe because of the political outcry, they've re-extended it to 2027.
So they're not going to apply to the mentally ill under the law, but they're already doing it.
And so in this particular case, which I'm enraged about, it's a woman.
We don't know what her terminal illness is as per the evidence of the case.
Her father intervened to get an injunction to prevent her from...
Being euthanized, saying that she's got autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and she made no evidence of what her underlying condition was.
She had petitioned two other doctors' death panels for permission, was denied twice because of a split decision, and on the third time got her way.
So she wants to commit suicide because she's got ADHD and what?
And autism.
There's no evidence as to what the...
What the condition would be, and I don't think there is one.
And there's been stories out of Canada.
Everybody watched The Unusual Suspects.
We're going to talk about it there, and you'll see it.
But veterans calling up with PTSD, being offered maids.
And then when the story broke, and this is an actual, it's a true story, government apologizes and says it's not supposed to happen.
And then you had other people who have been euthanized, notwithstanding the fact that death was not foreseeable.
So even as they...
Tally up these astronomical genocidal numbers.
It's like 4.1% of all death in Canada is government administered.
They divide...
Dude, 4.1%.
13,500 last year.
They separate death is foreseeable when death is not foreseeable.
And they've been administering it to people where death is not foreseeable.
They want to extend it to mentally ill, minors who cannot consent.
And then there was a poll that showed like...
Canadian support administering it to the homeless.
I've got to get the highlights.
So just anybody who wants to commit suicide for any old reason, under that reasoning, can go and get their doctor to help them do it.
So long as they find a few doctors to do it...
Here, I'm going to bring this back up.
I've got to show you the paragraph.
You won't believe it.
It was paragraph 38. So the rationale of the judge, by the way, the judge comes in and says...
This is not subject to my judicial review.
Later in these reasons, I explain the court cannot review MAID applicants' decision-making or the clinical judgment of those doctors and nurses' petitioners involved in assessing an applicant's suitability for MAID.
They're going with this acronym.
The inability to review the clinical judgment of the professionals making MAID assessments precludes the court from going behind the medical assessments to question whether MV's sole condition is mental illness or disability.
And they amended the criminal code so that You know, people who administer it have immunity from liability, so they won't be charged for murder.
But nobody's going to review it, so it's like a license to kill.
That's exactly what it sounds like to me.
And, you know, while we all can, I think a lot of people, you and I probably can agree that, you know, when you're at that point and you're terminally ill and, you know, obviously it becomes unbearable, that...
I think physician-assisted suicide makes a lot of sense, but you also can see from what you were just pointing out, the slippery slope that we're on, and particularly when the government gets involved in it too much.
The government can't do anything right.
I had the post office here in the U.S. just completely lose something that I sent certified, something very important, and it's lost right now.
It's very expensive, and it pisses me off because the government can't do anything right.
So when you've got the government, Getting involved in these types of very personal, very...
I don't know a better word.
I mean, it's just...
These are very private kinds of things.
And the government always gets it wrong and they always take it too far.
So if you accept those two premises...
Then the government has no business really being involved in this as far as pushing people towards assisted suicide.
In fact, the public policy ought to be to kind of steer them away from it whenever possible.
And also, once you realize, I've talked about this a few times, but we've also got some provinces up in Canada, Phil, who are amending their laws so that consent to organ donation is presumed or you cannot opt out.
I'm fairly certain it's presumed unless you opt out.
The window to opt out is very limited.
So you have a government with socialized healthcare.
Healthcare is actually not a bad Freudian slip.
Can't provide it.
Cheaper to kill people.
And then they can harvest their organs after they, you know, after they euthanize people.
I'll read just the two highlights here.
45. They say she was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
Her doctors indicate...
In the diagnosis that she did not have any associated, she did not have any associated development or speech disorder.
However, he specified that she suffered from the following behavioral disorders, communication disorder severity, and restrictive repetitive behavior.
I mean, it's like she's autistic, has got mental impairments, and they're still authorizing it.
Yeah, let's kill her.
No, that's it.
And they explain how she tried twice and couldn't get unanimity on two panels, so they finally found out on the third one.
Nothing like that in Georgia, right?
No, there's not.
Question, how do they do?
I mean, is there like a specified way that these people have to be killed?
I mean, is it lethal injection?
It's lethal injection.
And in Quebec, they were doing it a little bit too eagerly.
And in Quebec, it was, I believe, the third leading cause of death for a period of time.
And then when the Daily Mail blew that article up...
What happens when this becomes a fad?
And when people on social media are convinced, just like we've seen social media fads catch fire in other contexts recently, what if it becomes a fad that, you know, I'm feeling a little depressed, so I think I may as well get my doctor to go ahead and kill me?
It's a fad.
Almost already happening.
I just say my legal issue is how do you allow someone who's mentally ill, who legally cannot consent to certain things, or at least in theory, mental illness initiates consent, consent to the ultimate...
The judge in this case, it was so ridiculous, said there will be irreparable harm if he does not stay the injunction, if he does not allow the woman to enter life.
How about irreparable harm to the person who's dead?
How do you repair that?
For their loved ones.
It's wild.
I had one last thought on that.
It makes your head explode.
My father, he passed away when I was 17. He was a physician, though, and it was in the late 80s.
He told me, he said, son, there's going to be socialized medicine.
We're going to get there.
Not only are we there, we are more than there.
I mean, it is entrenched, not only in Canada, but also in the U.S. now, but it is part of the way of life.
And listen, here's the thing.
People like to say, and I saw Joe Biden.
The right to health care.
Healthcare is a right.
Well, so let's think about this.
If healthcare is in fact a right, then if I have the right to healthcare and if Viva is a doctor and I need what Viva provides, then I've got a right to use the, then I get I get to use the government to force Viva to spend a piece of his life performing whatever health care I need on me, and it's by force.
Now, obviously, doctors and nurses, health care providers, typically, they don't need to be forced, but if you accept the premise that it's a right, then that means I get to use the government.
To force this healthcare provider to give me a piece of their life, whether it's 10 minutes or four hours for an operation or whatever the case may be, they can be forced to provide a medical service to me if it is my right.
And so I can't accept the premise that there is a right to healthcare because I do not have a right to force Viva or anybody else to give me...
Any part of their person or their life.
And I'll highlight the other absurdity.
This was his tweet.
POV, point of view, you believe healthcare should be a right, not a privilege in America.
I just want to point out the obvious.
This is an impossible photo for him to have taken with his own hand.
What they actually did is say, hey, buffoon, hold your arm out to make it look like you're taking the picture.
There's no way he could have done this, especially in portrait.
Set that aside.
And then I said, you know, healthcare should be a right.
Also, shut your face and take this experimental jab, because I don't know how you feel about that, but it's mutually incompatible.
You have a right to your own medical issues, but you must do what we tell you to do.
Yeah, that was the tweet there.
Bringing this back.
It's amazing.
Canada's leading the way there.
Netherlands is pretty bad.
California has medical assistance in dying, and yet, despite having a similar population to Canada...
It has a third of the stats.
Well, making it legal for a doctor to assist someone who's terminally ill, taking that out of the area of murder as a crime, which otherwise it would be, legalizing that is one thing.
But establishing this bureaucracy, and I can't find any example ever where a bureaucrat gets anything right under any circumstances.
But when you create...
This system within a bureaucracy that is somehow supposed to police how physician-assisted suicide works, it's just a recipe for disaster.
You know, if a person and their doctor want to make that decision privately, so be it.
Maybe it's the right thing to do, and maybe we shouldn't criminalize it.
I'm with you 100% on that.
But keep the government out of it.
That's ridiculous.
Now I've realized how to distinguish here.
The ones that have a private link are yours.
So this is Ami Lay became a member.
We got Inside the Law a bit better than Inside Jen Psaki.
I wasn't going to make the joke, but you know the show?
I think it's called On the Inside with Jen Psaki?
That's the name of her show.
Joy became a member?
I'm making a point to tune her out.
Oh my goodness.
I watched a video of hers yesterday.
It was painful.
Dropping by to support two of the best minds in the game.
So glad to catch this live stream.
Great commentary and insights from DearWokeChristian.
Can I tell you something about DearWokeChristian?
I know who he is in real life, and I've talked to him.
He's actually physically located about, I don't know, at least his workplace is about 500 yards from where I'm sitting right now.
And really, really cool guy.
Thank you, WokeChristian.
Appreciate that.
And now, hold on, I'll bring this over here, because I got the ones from Rumble.
Hold on.
There's another theory about...
More tinfoil bridge theory, says Sammy.
I just realized the bridge was named after Francis Scott Key, the author of the Star Spangled Banner, a.k.a.
the U.S. National Anthem.
Chilling coincidence, you should read verse one.
Oh, say, can you...
That's...
By the dawn's early...
Was it proud of the reason...
I'll have to go read verse one.
The theories about it being an inside job in Baltimore are asinine.
Jeff at Legal Vices covered it on his Maritimes Monday show.
People are too cynical nowadays.
It says Mega Mo Base.
Maybe, but you can't blame him either.
And Snuffleupagus S says, I just found out today I owe $39,000 for COVID relief.
How does that...
Oh my goodness, because I think people in Canada didn't...
I presume that was Canada.
Was that a Canadian?
I can't tell.
People didn't realize that what you got from the government was going to be taxable.
So the COVID relief that some people got was going to be taxable income.
Yeah, the paper has to be paid.
I'm going to look up the latest going on in New York.
You following what's going on in the hushed money payment trial up in New York?
I know it got continued until, I don't know, the 15th, but I know now that there's issues with the judge and the judge's family.
Is that where you're going?
Well, that was the latest from yesterday.
Trump put out a Truth Social post that said, the judge has got TDS.
His daughter works for some Political, Democrat, think tank, whatever.
And then the judge issued something of a restrictive gag order as relates to limiting speech.
I mean, there's no way for me to make sense of it.
Well, it was right after Trump came out and blasted the judge, wasn't it?
Yeah, that's my...
Okay, now I'm going to shut you up.
You know, there's one thing that I...
If there's one thing that really is a pet peeve of mine, it's these gag orders.
I hate them because...
We have this thing called the First Amendment.
It's free speech.
More importantly than anything, it applies to speech we don't like.
So if you're the judge and you're wearing the robe, it's just sometimes too...
The temptation is too great not to use the power of your robe and your pen just to say, I don't like what you said, so thou shalt be silent.
And if you're not, I'm going to throw you in jail.
I'd like to see.
How are you going to throw...
But anybody, how are you going to throw them in jail just for speaking their mind?
I mean, it's not like he's speaking threats to anybody.
This is somebody speaking their mind.
They're giving their opinion about a matter of immense public interest, and to punish it with a gag order is just antithetical to what free speech in America means.
But it's, Alec, I haven't been around the industry for that long, and you've been involved.
I'm noticing them now almost like they're giving out candy.
He got a gag order from Engron.
He got a gag order from Chutkin.
Alex Jones had all sorts of, not extrajudicial, they were judicial sanctions.
In the experience of your practice, have they been giving them out this frequently in other files, or is this a modern phenomenon?
No, it's fairly common.
Look, you've got to get Ashley on here, because Ashley Merchant, she handled a case.
She and her husband John did it for free.
It was a murder case involving a cold case murder of a school teacher named Tara Grinstead down in South Georgia.
And they arrested these two guys who they believed that one of them was the killer and one of them was sort of the helper to conceal the death.
And the prevailing theory was the cops got it wrong.
They charged the wrong one with the murder.
And so Ashley wound up representing the guy.
Charged with the murder.
And the defense was the other guy did it.
And we helped.
And we admit that our guy helped.
But he wasn't the killer.
And she won.
She won the trial.
She did it all for free.
She got it found not guilty.
But before she won that trial, they challenged a gag order that basically said...
Nobody was allowed to talk to anybody.
They weren't allowed to talk to the media and all this kind of stuff.
And it went to the Georgia Supreme Court and they said, no, no, the judge went too far because we call this prior restraint.
And it's basically the idea is that you're restraining free speech prior to it occurring.
The First Amendment is more than just free speech.
It also involves news gathering in terms of freedom of the press.
And so the press has a First Amendment right to try to talk to these witnesses and so on and so on.
But the reason I tell you this long story is to point out that courts, when these things are challenged, appeals courts are very open to setting these things aside because they are disfavored.
Sometimes, however, the parties in a case will ask jointly for some type of a gag order because they want some cover to not have to talk to the media.
A dispute about it, and they are appealed.
A lot of times they get severely, you know, I guess, reined in or even eliminated altogether by our appeals courts, not only in Georgia, but throughout the U.S. Okay, that's interesting.
Hold on, I just lost my train of thought.
The gag orders?
More common now than before.
Oh, Ashley Merchant, sorry.
Is her Twitter handle AshleyMerchant...
With a no T at the end?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm following her now.
If she had it under permission before, I think she took it off.
I think she took it off.
She waited until the Fanny Firestorm was at least, not completely, but largely over, and I think she went public.
That's right.
She's not particularly active.
Oh, this might not be.
Okay.
They gag Trump.
It's a limited gag order.
He can't talk about the staff or their families, the court.
He can't talk about any prospective witnesses or encourage others to do it in a manner that could interfere with the trial.
That's very specific.
How can that not be unconstitutionally vague?
How do you even police that order?
That was one of the questions I had.
Let me see if I can pull up the final conclusion.
I had it yesterday.
On the one hand, it's like interfering with witnesses is already a crime unless you're Fannie Willis.
But here we go.
Judge Marchand.
Oh, that's the video.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Look at this.
We got it right here.
Okay.
Boom.
Stop this.
And we got an update from Snuffleupagus in Canada.
Well, we found out why he owes the money back.
Here we go.
This is it.
Listen to this.
So order that his motion for restriction of extra judicial statements is granted.
The defendant is refrained from doing the following, making or directing others to make public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses concerning their potential participation in the investigation or the criminal proceedings.
At least it's qualifying the interference.
It has to only do potential participation in the proceedings.
Making or directing others to make public statements about one counsel in the case, other than the district attorney.
I don't know what that means.
Members of the court's staff and the district attorney's staff or the family members of any council or staff.
Can you imagine this?
If Mershon's daughter works for a, I don't know, a Democrat think tank, has worked for other politicians, Trump can't talk about it?
To me, it's wild.
Or cause others to materially interfere with councils or staff's work in the criminal case or with the knowledge that such interference is likely to result...
Phil, can you make sense of that?
No, that's so...
By the way, lawyers, yes, we are trained in the art of run-on sentences.
It's intentional.
For those non-lawyers looking at this, yes, it is a giant run-on sentence, but...
It's also very vague and it's not the kind of thing that I can, it's not like you can look at something he says and compare it to what the rules are according to the judge and clearly determine whether or not he's violated the rules because it is vague.
And when things are vague, you know, you got to put somebody on notice of what you expect of them in terms of their conduct.
And if they're not properly on notice, then it ought to be unenforceable.
Hey, that's just my opinion.
I welcome yours.
Well, I don't even know what it means.
And with the knowledge that such interference is likely to result.
So if he puts out any tweet about the case and then someone goes and says something about the staff or his daughter.
But the last one here is making or directing others to make public statements about any prospective juror or any juror in this criminal proceeding.
I mean, there goes the public's due diligence in terms of, you know.
Looking into potential bias jurors, like we saw in Roger Stone's case we found out afterwards, in the Derek Chauvin case where you end up with activists on the jury.
So, you know, eliminate all aggregate knowledge of the interwebs, finding answers that might have been missed by the parties.
Phil, here, hold on a second.
I'm going to bring this up because this explains why the individual over on Rumble owes back taxes.
It's actually amazing.
From Ontario, was off work, then went on CERB, now owe all of the money back.
Because they say I was ineligible because I didn't pay enough the year before.
Cheers.
Holy hell.
You'd think they would tell you that before they approve you.
And imagine, not to make everybody angry, but the amount of fraudulent serve that they gave out to companies, to people who will never pay it back.
I don't know what it's like in Canada.
I'm sure it's similar.
But we had all sorts of COVID relief.
And a lot of it was, I think...
The right thing to do.
If the government is going to tell you you can't operate, it's going to put small businesses out of business, then there ought to be...
We have something in the Constitution called the takings clause.
The government can't take stuff from you without remuneration.
And so I can see why in some cases it made sense.
But the way that they did it, like I said, anytime the government gets involved with something, it goes to crap because...
The fraud was rampant.
I mean, there were people that were inventing businesses, kind of like all Joe Biden's businesses, that don't craft products or services that they get paid for, for producing, but yet they're getting this paycheck protection loan money, sort of a handout anyway.
So, full disclosure, I had...
I had some of that because it helped my law practice.
The courts shut down.
It helped my law practice stay afloat, helped me continue to employ people so they didn't go on unemployment.
And so there was a legitimate use for it, but to think that it wasn't going to be abused.
And another thing that was abused was our...
What was it?
The economic disaster, the economic injury disaster loan put out by the Small Business Administration, another government bureaucracy that was basically overseeing, you know, just gushing out money, just handing it out hand over fist for a couple of three years.
I wonder why we got so much inflation now in America.
But anyway, the amount of fraud related to that is unknowable.
We will never know.
The extent of how much money people stole from taxpayers because government incompetency and how they manage those programs.
I think the estimate was like 10 to 20% would be fraudulent in Canada, I think, at the time.
The amount of fraud is just massive, at least potentially in Canada, but then they'll go and they'll...
They'll bury citizens for retroactive annulment of monies that they advanced when the person couldn't work anyhow.
I'm going into locals to see if anyone has any questions for you, Phil.
Specific questions.
Someone says liberal Hitler is redundant.
Oh!
Phil, I ran it by you before because I've been thinking it since we first met.
Hold on.
The video?
Where is it?
Did I shut the video?
Oh, for goodness sake.
Hold on.
The reason I didn't want to play it was I don't want YouTube copy-claiming an entire stream.
But I have to do it anyhow.
Kwammy Anchorman.
I realize who...
I've known you for longer than you think I've known.
Uh-oh.
Here we go.
The accent is the same.
The...
And he's got a good personality.
Everybody, you'll never unsee it once you see this.
Let me turn the volume down just a little bit here.
I can't.
I love it.
I feel like I've known you my whole life.
Maybe go to SeaWorld, take my pants off.
Anyway, I become kind of famous for my signature catchphrase.
Whammy!
As in Gene Tennis at the plate.
Whammy!
I'm going to watch this movie again tonight.
Oh, I've got to watch it.
It's the best.
The accent is from the same place.
There's no question.
So whammy should be my catchphrase, kind of like you have Booyah, right?
I think so.
I wonder what the chat thinks about it.
Should whammy be my...
Maybe I'll do a poll.
Should whammy be my catchphrase?
Put a yes for yes and an N for no, but I think it goes without saying.
Do I need to get the sideburns that are down to about here?
I don't think you need to go quite that far, but a hat.
You can get the hat and it'll be...
I went to law school in Texas and I dressed the part.
I'm not opposed to wearing a hat at the right time.
I learned how to do the Texas two-step and all that.
Well, I mean, it's the accent, and it seems split 50-50, but I'm wondering if my chat is saying yes and your chat is saying no.
I can see both of them.
Somebody in the chat said, Whammy used to meet.
It's an amazing thing.
So YouTube seems to be 50-50 split, and over on Rumble, it's 100%.
I have not seen a no yet.
All right.
Well, I will take that under advisement.
Now, Phil, hold on.
Did I forget any subject matter that we have to cover here?
I think that's about it.
What are you working on these days?
Fanny, we got the bridge, we got...
Oh, hold on, hold on.
We can at least now watch Andrew Tate's video.
Has everyone seen this?
I'm telling you, look, I'm a neurotic hypochondriac.
His ad is funny.
I mean, it's funny.
I'm just not sure that...
Okay, this is the ad, people.
Andrew Tate has a supplement.
Fireblood makes your piss yellow.
Like a man.
Manly yellow piss.
None of that clear water gay little girl piss.
Man's piss.
And the reason for that is very simple.
We have all of the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids the body can need in one convenient scoop of fireblood.
He's got more than the body can handle.
Like a man.
Excessive.
Are you the kind of person who's gonna take a supplement which tastes disgusting with no flavoring whatsoever?
Or, you're gonna be the kind of man who takes a supplement that tastes like cookie crumple, and your pee's not even yellow because there's only a little bit of vitamins in it.
Oh, I've only got my daily recommended allocation of vitamins in neutral.
I'm scared I might pee out too many vitamins.
Greta Thunberg will get mad at me for being wasteful.
I don't want Greta to come into the gym and beat me up.
I mean, it's very funny, but it might be an exhibit in a future class action lawsuit.
Look, I'm a hypochondriac.
I know it's oxalates that cause kidney stones, but I'm fairly certain having too much minerals, having too much concentrated stuff in your urine leads to kidney stones.
I'm not a doctor, but look, I mean...
If you have too much of it, your body naturally eliminates it for a reason.
It's through your kidneys and it makes you pee yellow.
If you've got too much of it, you're not supposed to have it.
I would say listen to your body.
What do I know?
I can understand how people don't find it funny.
I'm into the childish humor.
Anchorman.
What are some of the other classics?
Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore.
I just think that that's how you get kidney stones, as far as I know, from having a hypochondriacal mother who bred a hypochondriacal mother.
Have you ever had gout from eating too much red meat?
No, because I don't believe you can eat too much red meat, but I've known people who've had gout from alcohol-related.
Like, apparently, certain types of alcohol are more prone to cause gout.
Have you had gout?
Yeah, I have, but I'm sure it was because of red meat.
In the toe or in your elbow?
No, it's like in the, well, yeah, it's in like the bottom of the foot and into the toe.
And I tell you, it hurts, but it'll go away after you, you know, you sort of have to correct your diet.
It will go away after a while.
I've had it like once, maybe twice in my life that I can recall.
But it's having too much stuff built up in your blood.
Yeah.
I eat a load of red meat and I touch wood.
I drink a lot of water as well and I exercise and sweat it out as well.
Was there one more thing in the backdrop that I had here?
I'm not sure that we're going to play it.
Let me see here.
Hold on.
By the way, you're much better with this platform.
I'm just amazed because I'm so new at this.
I don't have the skills that you have to...
Oh, you'll get the hang of toggling platforms.
I was going to start with this, but then I thought it might have...
Everybody, if you haven't seen the George Takei video, I want to...
The reason why I highlight it, let me see if I can refresh this, is because I will call out the hypocrites of the world.
I think this is not the right clip because we need to have them on the top of the list.
They're bad people, but the bad people have the audacity of calling other people who are not bad, bad people.
Oh, am I going to get the whole thing?
Hold on.
I may have to go to my own.
I'm a Trekkie too, and this is one of the things that I always have.
I grew up on Star Trek and it's just, I mean, I'm a Trek nerd like that and I just hate to see Mr. Zulu behaving that way.
Zulu, you got Mark Hamill who's gone full Trump arrangements.
People have lost their ever-loving minds.
I still get into it with the lead singer from Angels and Airwaves and Blink-182 because politically they've lost their minds.
Here, this is it.
No, that's the same one for goodness sake.
Hold on.
Okay, I'm a bit of an idiot here.
I've got to have the whole thread because otherwise calling out will not make sense here.
Everyone should know who George Takei is or has become, but he faults Trump for selling the Bible and says Trump is selling Bibles and Fox is blaming the bridge collapse on our broken border.
I could make an indirect argument for the latter, but whatever.
There's a big sector of our society that has absolutely lost its collective marbles.
And then I like to remind everybody who George Takei is.
This was on the Howard Stern show, and it's like, people don't know what this guy admitted to in real life.
All your years involved with, you never hassled anybody or grabbed their cock.
Yeah.
Did you ever grab anyone by the cock against their will?
He actually said, uh-oh.
Oh, no.
Well, they were different times.
You never sexually harassed anyone.
Hey, boner.
Phil, did you know about this bit on Howard Stern or this interview?
Yeah, I'd heard that before, and it's a classic double standard, right?
The leftist is do as I say, not as I do.
And he's just an embarrassment.
Well, we'll get to the worst part of it.
I bleeped out the COCK because I do appreciate some people don't want to hear that.
Have you?
Have you?
Oh my goodness!
You've got such a beautiful...
It's some people that are kind of skittish.
Right.
Or maybe...
Uh, afraid.
And you're trying to persuade.
But, you know, do we need to call the police?
What is he saying?
What is he saying?
I think we all know what he's saying.
And these are the, these are the arbiters of morality who have the audacity and the hypocrisy to try to drudge Trump.
This was back in the grabbing by the PUSS wife.
Yeah.
Which, they still run with that life.
He, he admitted to doing it.
No, he didn't.
He was describing exactly what George Takei was admitting to there.
He was describing the George Takeis and the Harvey Weinstein of the world, not what he does.
Okay.
That sums it up for all that we had.
In nine minutes, The Unusual Suspects starts.
The link is a redirect through Phil.
For my end, who's watching, where can people find you?
Well, on screen, you can find me on X here at Phil Holloway ESQ.
And my...
YouTube channel is youtube.com backslash Philip Holloway.
And Philip has one L in it.
My parents decided to give me the weird spelling of my name.
But anyway, obviously, I appreciate you doing this together with me.
It's always a lot of fun talking with you.
And, you know, it's been a very, I've been very humbled and honored by the outpouring of support with the followers and the people that are joining the channel.
Like I said, we can cross-pollinate, and it makes sense because you have a unique take.
Your take is not always the same as mine.
Your style is not the same as mine.
There's so many of us out here that have interesting things, and I think people should listen to...
All LawTubers, right?
Because the more voices that you hear, the more perspectives that you hear.
I know that's how I try to listen to people.
Even people I disagree with, I try to listen to them because it might make me rethink how I think about something.
So I really appreciate you having me on here today.
It's been a lot of fun.
Well, thank you for coming on.
I mean, I listen to people who I disagree with, because on the one hand, you need to know what the adversary thinks, and you need to build your arguments against it, so you can reflexively know what to say when those arguments come up.
Well, unless they block you, like George Takei has blocked me on Twitter, so I can't...
Hold on!
He hasn't blocked me yet, and I don't get the benefit of his wisdom.
Someone just said Joe Lieberman died, and that's always a thing in the chat where they make that...
That type of meme.
And then one time I didn't believe it, it actually happened.
It was the woman from...
Oh, no, Joe Lieberman dies at 82. I had no idea he was 82. People make it as a joke, like the meme.
And then one time they did it, Betty White's dead.
And I was like, ah, stop with the meme.
And then, no, Betty White actually died.
And Joe Lieberman died.
I always had a lot of respect for Joe Lieberman.
Didn't always agree with him on everything, but certainly had a lot of respect for him.
And I hate to hear that.
I don't do the public things.
First of all, you never know what these people are like personally.
It seems that the only time anybody celebrates a Republican is when they pass away.
It's life.
82 years old is a long, healthy life.
Everybody always wants more time on this earth.
Phil?
We're going to end it.
So how it works, I'm going to see how this works.
We're joint streaming, so I'm going to end the stream.
Rumble and Locals.
I won't be able to come to Locals afterwards, but I'll do something special for Locals.
VivaBarnesLaw.Locals.com And that's it.
I'll be live tomorrow.
Phil, what's next on your schedule?
Do you have a schedule yet?
No, I don't.
It remains to be seen.
I'm probably not streaming tomorrow.
I've got some things.
I've got actual court.
Because, see, some of us still actually, unlike you, have to actually go to court practice law.
So, you know, I've got, no, so probably won't be streaming tomorrow.
And then getting into, I'm going to see my mom for Easter.
You know, she's 86. And so we've got a lot of that kind of stuff coming up.
Beautiful.
Now, I'm going to end it with this because I'm not...
Biltong is in the house yet again.
One last rant for the road.
Two last rants for the road.
Trudeau is living out the modern-day version of the Jesuit Oath.
Well, I'm going to have to go Google the Jesuit Oath right after this and see what that is.
And King of Biltong, and I'm going to hit end stream after this.
Good afternoon from Anton's Meat and Eat.
Free shipping for your Biltong using code Viva.
By the way, it is delicious stuff.
I was just eating some before.
BiltongUSA.com, AntonUSA.com.
Your next Biltong shipment is on route, sir.
Thank you very much.
I'll actually email you privately, Biltong, because I've got to know, it says to keep it refrigerated, and I'm not necessarily one to respect what they label deadlines, so I've been eating stuff anyhow, but I'll email you afterwards.
Phil, stick around, everybody.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
Locals, I'll be with you in a bit for something else, but it's going to be separate because go watch The Unusual Suspects at 6 o 'clock.
The redirect link is there.
Let them know Viva Sanchez so that they can appreciate my guest appearances on the show.
Phil, stick around.
Everybody else out there, I will see you tomorrow on the interwebs.
