	I see something else in there.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	I see it.
	There's a jellyfish.
	What's happening?
	Hold on.
	There's a horseshoe crab.
	There's a horseshoe crab in it.
	All right.
	At least I have to send them.
	It's a beauty.
	What happened?
	Hold on.
	The wind has died down.
	It's right.
	It's right.
	It's a little cloud.
	It's right there.
	With the jellyfish.
	Okay. There.
	Right there.
	You can see it.
	You can see his shell just coming up right here.
	Wait, step in, it's actually right in the shadow back.
	I'll grab one of these up.
	Oh, this right here.
	It's right, okay.
	Now look.
	Okay, so hold on, my boots.
	Go get it.
	You don't want to touch it to the bottom, so it's really cloudy.
	Okay. I can go in.
	You can go in, too.
	Oh, you can go in, yeah.
	Come in.
	Come in.
	Come on, people.
	It's gonna look sexy.
	Nice and cold?
	No. Okay, gotta walk slowly.
	It's right here.
	Get in.
	Okay, hold on.
	Okay, hold on.
	Okay, we are live across all platforms.
	Pick it up.
	Pick it right up.
	Two hands or one hand?
	Oh, I put his head under.
	Look at this.
	Not his whole head.
	Oh my god.
	Oh my God.
	That's it.
	Let it away from him.
	There it is.
	Oh my.
	No! Oh my God!
	Holy cow!
	It's actually amazing.
	Let me get to the part where...
	Look at this prehistoric animal.
	Look at this prehistoric animal.
	Holy crap.
	Let me go here.
	Look at this thing.
	I know, there's so many jellyfish.
	I'll put it back.
	I'll let it go back.
	And then watch what happens as it goes back into the water.
	It's a trilobite.
	It's a living trilobite.
	Look at that.
	Look at that.
	And now?
	Gone. Disappeared.
	There it goes.
	It doesn't.
	I see.
	That is...
	totally cool.
	Amazing. Amazing.
	I mean, I've never seen...
	I've seen horseshoe crabs at aquariums.
	Just gonna make sure the camera's good.
	I've seen horseshoe crabs at aquariums.
	We're sitting on this dock in the Florida Keys, and my kid's like, there's a stingray in the water.
	Stingray stayed the hell away from it.
	It's like, that's not a stingray.
	That's a freaking horseshoe crab.
	And it's walking around, like it's just crawling along the bottom of the ocean and going through the weeds like a rhomba.
	It looks like and acts like God's rhomba, except instead of like just gathering dirt that you then throw it in the garbage.
	It picks up the dirt from the ocean floor, converts it into energy, and that's how the cosmos works.
	It's an absolute mind-blowing experience to see prehistory in real time, but also just to understand how amazing nature is.
	Like, we make rhombas for our house, and occasionally, every now and again, they go and roll over dog poop, and then you have to throw the rhomba out because they never get clean after.
	That true story happened to us.
	The horseshoe crab is God's rhomba.
	Goes along the bottom of the ocean.
	And you lift it up, and it's just...
	It's like...
	It looks like a robot.
	It looks like something out of...
	It actually looks like that thing that they put in Neo's belly button in The Matrix 1. So, anyways, I also started with that video so that I could go and...
	Oh, is it a Roomba?
	It's a Roomba, not a Rhomba.
	Whatever. Rhomba's a dance, I guess.
	The Roomba.
	Thank you.
	Who said that?
	Radagast. Radagast started with a bit of a longer opening so I could make sure that I'm live across all...
	We are live on YouTube, Twitter, Rumble, and vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	At some point in this stream, we're probably going to end it on YouTube and Twitter and go over to Rumble and vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Vote with our eyeballs, vote with our dollars, vote with our feed, and support the platforms that support free speech.
	Because today...
	I mean, is there anybody out there who doesn't know that Google owns YouTube?
	You have the largest search engine in the world, a monopoly of sorts, that owns the largest video hosting platform on Earth, a monopoly of sorts, and engages in some potentially questionable monopolistic practices by way of directing traffic from the search engine to its own owned video platform, YouTube, redirecting away from more relevant search results to Rumble.
	So if you didn't know that, Google owns YouTube, or Alphabet owns YouTube.
	And so what you have is basically the largest search engine on Earth, owns the largest video hosting platform on Earth, up to some serious chicanery.
	And we're going to talk about some of this chicanery, which has come to a head.
	Just yesterday, Judge Mehta, I forget his first name, but it's kind of meta, that you have Judge Mehta spanking down Google.
	Mehta, M-E-H-T-A, rendering a decision, declaring Google guilty of monopolistic practices.
	Which then led to them bilking their advertisers by charging them more as a result of their unscrupulous exploitation of their monopolistic practices by tying in their search engine to devices across the internet.
	Okay, before we get too far in, I'm going to thank our sponsor of today's show, but I want to make sure...
	The audio is good, guys.
	It's as good as it's going to get.
	I'm on the road and the lighting is very romantic.
	It looks like it's midnight and we're having a nice...
	Whatever. It's actually 12.30.
	And I'm going to stay out of the sunlight at least for the next hour and a half, two hours.
	So it's good.
	I'll go live during the day because we've got lots to talk about.
	Actually, let me just see if I can.
	I'm live now if you can make it on.
	Smiley face.
	We've got lots to talk about.
	I don't know if Tommy Robinson is going to make it on today, but he's going to come on sooner than later because we've got to know what the hell is going on in the UK, although I'm going to touch on it today.
	Google. Jamie Ratskin, what did I see here?
	The man is trying to provoke people into doing something stupid, so don't let him do it.
	Jamie Ratskin looks like Templeton the Rat from Charlotte's Web.
	I have to go watch that cartoon again, I guess.
	Thank you very much for that.
	And what do we got here?
	Oh, we got Lord of the Re doesn't like Ratskin very much.
	Nobody likes him.
	More like Jamie Ratskin, am I right?
	Chlorophyll? More like Borophyll.
	Jamie Ratskin?
	More like Jamie Ratzkin.
	All right.
	Before we get into anything, let me go back to the chat.
	Audio's as good as it's going to get.
	Video's good.
	And we're live.
	Before we get into anything, because we're going to talk about the government and how...
	Jamie Ratzkin.
	When Trump gets elected, his mobs of angry supporters are going to be real pissed when Congress says, sorry, your guy's been disqualified because we're trying it again.
	Before we get into the dirty, rotten scoundrels that is the government.
	Across the world, by the way.
	Pretty much everywhere.
	And I appreciate Trump was in the government as well.
	There are better and worse actors occasionally.
	But by and large, government, as I've been telling my kid, is an evil.
	I say it's a necessary evil to some extent, but it's a necessary evil that must be kept as small as humanly possible, not turned into the mega-employer that the United States federal government has turned into.
	They employ 2.8 million people.
	Civilians! Doesn't include military, doesn't include contractors.
	2.8 million civilian employees for the federal government of the United States of America.
	Remember George Washington.
	Small government, avoid foreign conflict.
	What have you got now?
	The exact opposite, and what you've got now is a corrupt government.
	Moderna scores federal funding for mRNA bird flu vaccine as pandemic fears grow.
	I'm sure you've heard the news.
	I'm sure you understand that there will be the next thing coming, and the next thing that's coming is pandemic, war, whatever.
	America, pay attention.
	We are living in perilous times, assassination attempts, coups to take over our government, cybersecurity threats, and we're just heating up.
	Now Forbes just put out an article about our government is handing out a $176 million, whatever the hell they're giving, to Moderna to whip up another mRNA bird flu vaccine because the first mRNA vaccine worked ever so well.
	I'm going to guess it didn't work well, depending on your goals.
	They're gearing up for the next big pandemic, and we can't trust the establishment with our health any longer.
	We must take matters into our own hands.
	I'm protecting my family with a contagion emergency kit from the wellness company, and now you can too.
	The kit is no joke.
	It's prescription, so you've got to go online, fill it out.
	Only available in America, unfortunately.
	It's your frontline defense against whatever they throw at us next.
	It comes packed with ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, Z-Pak Tamiflu, butesonide, along with a nebulizer so you can rest easy knowing that you have the emergency meds on hand, along with a guidebook for safe use.
	Every family in America should have at least one of these kits.
	It's like having an urgent care in the comfort of your own home.
	Get your contagion emergency kit for as low as a cost of a singles doctor visit.
	And at the end of the day, just have these life-saving medications on hand, and you won't have to think about it.
	Be proactive, be prepared, and take control of your health.
	Don't wait for the next health crisis.
	Go to twc.health forward slash viva, the wellness company, Tango, Whiskey, Charlie,.health forward slash viva.
	Grab your contingent emergency kit now, and you get $30 off at checkout.
	Kits are only available in these United States of America.
	And for anybody who has forgotten about what the website looks like, Let's look at it.
	Just bring it up one more time here.
	It's got the beautiful logo.
	TWC.health forward slash Viva.
	Pick yours up today, people.
	Link is in the description as well.
	Now, this is water.
	I haven't gotten smaller people.
	This is a, I guess you're supposed to drink more than one beer out of this.
	Sorry, I went for a jog this morning.
	5.5 miles, give or take, in the sweltering Florida Keys heat.
	It's so hot.
	You can't maintain...
	I think I did it still.
	I did 5.5 miles in, I want to say, 35 minutes.
	Is that possible?
	9, 10. Maybe it was 40 minutes.
	I haven't been able to replenish myself with fluids adequately.
	I got back.
	I climbed a coconut tree, hacked down a bunch of coconuts, and had four fresh coconut juice things along with a bunch of water, and I still haven't replenished myself.
	Oh, who's Jenna Ellis, says David Calico.
	You know what?
	We're going to start with Jenna Ellis today.
	She's, I mean, I am, I do not, I don't want to say this.
	People are going to think that, like, I'm becoming religious.
	I'm not becoming religious.
	I think I'm becoming, I've always been spiritual, I guess.
	I can definitively say that I do believe in a God.
	It's a non-religious God, or at least it's not specific to any one denomination.
	And I believe sincerely in my heart of hearts, and I'm not going to get, what's the word, preachy.
	I sincerely, genuinely believe that we saw an act of God, a divine intervention, when Trump turned his head a quarter of a millimeter or whatever the hell he did and escaped getting assassinated in the most graphically violent way.
	On live television, it would have plunged us into the World War III that the powers that be still seem hellbent on bringing us into.
	And in our locals community, I said, I went for a jog, tried to clear my mind.
	I'm still a little pissed off.
	You know, I predicted Waltz was going to be the pick.
	And then at the last minute, I got fearful and I rolled over my profits of Waltz into Shapiro, thinking that Shapiro is the deep state pick.
	He's, you know, Alex Soros approved Pennsylvania.
	That's where the next announcement is.
	Last minute, just change.
	Man, irritated.
	Doesn't matter.
	Our government, and I refer to the American government as mine now because I live here and pay taxes here, the current administration, the current powers that be, the current political elite seem hell-bent on driving us into World War III.
	And I believe that what we saw when Trump moved his head was an aversion, if only temporary and God willing it'll be permanent, an aversion of descending into the cataclysmic...
	disaster of a World War III.
	Had he been shot, it would have been the France Ferdinand 2.0 execution that led to the next great war.
	For those who don't know, France Ferdinand was next in line to be the heir of Austria-Hungary He was killed, assassinated after having survived the first one in the same evening, killed, and then you just had the domino effect of...
	Alliances, global powers fighting over dominance, descending into World War III, four years long, changed the shape of the earth, led to World War II.
	So in as much as I don't necessarily believe, I mean, we saw an act of divine intervention there, and we say that despite the fact that Cori Camperatori died, was killed, was murdered, you cannot necessarily control the acts of evil, but every now and again you'll have what is a miraculous aversion.
	Of even greater evil that would have absolutely necessarily ensued had Trump gotten killed.
	I was segwaying this somehow into Jenna Ellis, I forget.
	I'll get there anyhow.
	But Jenna Ellis, the powers that be, trying to drive us into World War III.
	I see on Twitter yesterday these lefty troll hacks that they're only existing on Twitter to piss people off and to make people angry.
	And one of them says, Jenna flipped.
	Now they got Trump.
	I'm like, what the hell?
	I say, what the hell?
	Because Jenna flipped a long time ago.
	And now I remember the whole segue here.
	Jenna flipped a long time ago when she copped that deal out in Georgia, pleaded guilty to some minor charges.
	Guilty thing expunged so there will be nothing on a record, whatever.
	And a lot of people said she betrayed Trump, she betrayed the cause that she represented, she bore false witness to herself, and I agreed with that.
	I did say, however, no one has ever been under such circumstances, and I'll be very reluctant to judge Jenna Ellis deciding to self-preserve as opposed to, you know...
	Subject yourself to the lawfare abuse that we've seen Trump and others go through for the last four years?
	So I said, look, I don't know what I would do under those circumstances.
	I'd like to think I'd be brave, courageous, and stick the middle finger up to the corrupt regime that's trying to break me.
	Jenna didn't.
	And this is where the whole not being religious thing comes in.
	I'll be very reluctant to judge Jenna.
	But when I see on Twitter yesterday, Jenna flipped and she, oh my goodness, it's the end of Trump.
	I'm like, well, she flipped a long time ago.
	What's the news?
	And for those of you who don't know the news, it seems that this is the irony of bending the knee to the corrupt regime.
	They don't see bending the knee as an act of submission that leads to forgiveness.
	They see bending the knee as an act of submission that will lead to more abuse.
	Jenna Ellis thought she was going to...
	Oh, there's so many things where she got into the bar issues.
	She got into trouble with her law license and figured, at least I'll keep my license and I'll accept the flagellation and say whatever.
	Just don't take my license away.
	I want to continue practicing.
	All right, I'll say whatever in Georgia.
	Just give me a lesser deal and I can walk and I'll cooperate.
	I'll bend the knee yet again.
	And surely the regime will then leave me alone.
	Or at least maybe I'll be an ally of the regime.
	No! When you bend the knee and you show weakness, they know who they can go and beat on some more.
	And they went ahead and beat on Jenna Ellis some more.
	Here. Arizona, for those of you who don't know.
	Arizona, they have another fake.
	They call it fake.
	And for anybody who calls it fake, I call you dumb and brainwashed.
	You're an idiot.
	You are either an idiot or a liar.
	Neither are good.
	And if you're both, my goodness.
	Congratulations. You've won the stupid lottery for the day.
	Referring to the fake electors as fake electors makes you an idiot or a liar because at no point in any time were any of those electors fake.
	I'm not going to pull up the definition of fake.
	You know what?
	I am.
	Hold on.
	Fake. It's so stupid.
	Fake definition.
	Here. Fake.
	Not genuine.
	Counterfeit. A thing that is not genuine, a forgery or a sham.
	Forge or counterfeit something.
	I'm not trying to be pedantic.
	Pedantic. There was nothing fake about the alternate slate of electors that were submitting their alternate slate of electors on the basis that the original electors were the result of a fraudulent election.
	Nothing fake about it.
	They weren't lying about their names.
	They weren't forging someone else's signature.
	They weren't saying that they were the original electors.
	They were presenting themselves authentically, exactly as what they were.
	Alternate slate of electors on the basis that the original slate was the product, was the fruit of fraud.
	Which many believe it was.
	Because it was.
	Nothing about the Dominion, Hugo Chavez, whatever.
	It was the result of fraud, if only...
	And only based on one thing which we all acknowledge happened and happened the way we know it happened, the Hunter Biden laptop suppression, lying about intelligence and social media censorship.
	That alone swung the election, which means that the election was the result of fraud.
	And the alternate slate of electors come in and say, we are the slate of electors that should be recognized, not the original ones.
	So there's nothing fake about it.
	And if you say fake electors, you're an idiot.
	And anybody who says fake electors should be called an idiot.
	Now, there might be a more loving way to get them to come aboard.
	No, you see, Democrat Jimmy, they weren't fake.
	You could try to convince them, but they're idiots.
	And they don't want to know.
	They just want to abuse.
	So that's what's going on.
	Former Trump attorney, this is Jenna Ellis, agrees to cooperation agreement in Arizona fake elector case.
	This is from yesterday.
	And then they're going back to her groveling.
	Before the court, sobbing.
	If I had known now what I knew, if I had known then what I knew now, I wouldn't have done.
	I'm very reluctant to make fun of her.
	I'm very reluctant to judge her.
	But the irony is that she is seeing what happens by begging forgiveness to people who will never forgive her and will only take that act of submission and beat her over the back with it as they're continuing to do.
	Here. A one-time attorney for former President Donald Trump has agreed to a cooperation agreement with the Arizona Attorney General in the state's fake electors case.
	Jenna Ellis, an attorney in Trump's 2020, one of 18 individuals charged in April for allegedly scheming to undermine President Bush's victory in Arizona and deliver the state's 11 electoral votes to Trump.
	Arizona Attorney General Kim, or this is Chris Mays, announced on Monday that Ellis agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and is willing to testify in court.
	In exchange, the state will drop the nine felonies, including fraud and conspiracy charges against her.
	I will not donate to your website, sir.
	Remember, they did the same thing to her in Georgia.
	And we're going to see where that prosecution is going to go.
	She's going to plead guilty to a case that's going to ultimately be dismissed on the merits.
	So congrats.
	I mean, bear false witness to yourself, and that's what happens.
	This agreement represents a significant step forward in our case, Mays said in a statement.
	I am grateful to Ms. Ellis for her cooperation with our investigation and prosecution.
	Her insights are invaluable and will greatly aid the state in proving its case in court.
	In a statement, lawyers representing Ellis continued to claim that she was not involved in the fake electric scheme.
	We are grateful the Arizona Attorney General's Office completely dismissed the indictment against Jenna Ellis as she was not involved in the so-called fake electric scheme.
	Attorney Matt Brown, they wrote, Jenna was originally told she was not a target and to her cooperation is her continued willingness to tell the truth.
	Ella, please.
	According to the indictment, 11 of the individuals charged in this case, including former Arizona Republican Party chair Kel Ward, and states signed fraudulent documents claiming Trump won Arizona's electoral votes.
	Other Trump allies, including Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani, also faced charges.
	She believed the last year in Georgia, the Fulton County decision of the subversion case.
	We saw how that went.
	So she is now promising to cooperate, to tell the truth.
	The proffer videos from a while back, last year I think, where she was citing as evidence that Trump was never going to leave the White House and that he couldn't just do it.
	She was saying that Trump had asserted that he would never leave the White House because at a Christmas party One of them said, yeah, we're not leaving.
	And she says, that's not how it works.
	And he says, well, that's what we're going to do at a Christmas party.
	That was the evidence of insurrection, of Trump criminally conspiring to never leave the office, even though he left the office exactly when he was supposed to leave office.
	So other than the fact that historically Trump has always relinquished power, whenever it came time to relinquish power, he doesn't have to go lick the boot of the people that just, from what many believe, and I think rightly so, stole the election.
	He doesn't have to go lick their boot and say, you won.
	You can flip him the bird on the way out, but he relinquished power, despite what Jenna Ellis testified to.
	And her bombshell that Trump asserted that he would never relinquish power was what someone said at a drunken Christmas party way back in the day.
	The bottom line, however, is that Jenna Ellis raised a quarter of a million dollars to defend herself from these charges, then pleaded guilty.
	So raised a lot of money from a lot of people.
	I helped her.
	I don't have much bitterness about that, but I helped her and I donated.
	I contributed.
	She raised about a quarter of a million dollars on the basis that she was going to defend herself against these baseless charges.
	She then cops a plea deal and arguably throws other people under the bus.
	And now it seems that she's copped another plea deal.
	And who knows?
	Maybe she's going to do the right thing and say, you guys got nothing.
	This is all bullshit.
	And that's going to be her truth.
	Who knows?
	When you get the...
	Was it the secretary said?
	Whoever the authority figure was saying, yeah, this is really going to help our case.
	You can be a little skeptical that she's going to get out there and stick a wheel in the spoke of this abusive prosecution.
	It sounds more like she's going to partake in it.
	And you can understand how there's people out there who are pissed off about this, who feel a little betrayed, who think that it's one thing to flip.
	And then it's another thing to actively aid and defend the enemy in its lawfare persecution of these people who partook in the alternate slate of electors scheme, which was actually something that if you go back to Hawaii, 1963, 62, Nixon and JFK, I might be mixing up the names, it was a Democrat legal theory in the first place that was actually once implemented.
	Oh yeah, but that was different.
	So that is the deal with Jenna Ellison.
	It's not looking...
	It's not looking good for her.
	And the more that she cooperates with the devil, the more the devil demands more of her.
	That's the nature of dealing with the devil.
	Viva, have you seen this uncovered?
	I assure you, I haven't.
	The list.
	Here, let me just pull this up here and see what that is.
	Oh, by the way, share the link around because I always forget to...
	It says link not found when I try to cut and paste.
	Oh, because I missed the T. Hold on.
	HTTPS. Here, let's see what this is here.
	Bada bing, bada boom.
	Oh, I don't know what this is.
	I'm going to bring it up just because it's in real time.
	Don't know what the outlet is.
	Undercover DC.
	Exclusive Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers report Telsey Gabbard actively under surveillance via Quiet Skies program.
	I mean...
	It wouldn't surprise me and it wouldn't shock me.
	In an exclusive breaking story, several federal air marshal whistleblowers came forward with information showing that the former U.S. representative and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently enrolled in the Quiet Skies program.
	It's a TSA surveillance program with its own compartmentalized suspected terrorist watch list.
	It's the same program being weaponized against Jan Sixers.
	Quiet Skies is allegedly used to protect traveling Americans from...
	Suspected domestic terrorists.
	The photo below is a screenshot from the actual target package used by the FAMS.
	I mean, having seen who's on that watch list, there was a six-month-old baby.
	I mean, I wouldn't put it past anybody.
	That's interesting.
	I'll keep that up in the backdrop.
	We'll have a look at it afterwards.
	Let me do one thing real quick-lack.
	I'm going to just take this cut.
	I'm going to go here.
	And one second, everybody.
	And I'll tell you one day, people, I'm going to get a schedule going and it'll be easy to predict when Viva is going to go live.
	All right, so that was the Jen Ellis story.
	Let me see what else is going on in the over here.
	Let's go to vivabarneslaw.locals.com for a second and see...
	Sonia Labasco put it up.
	Oh, Sonia Labasco!
	Okay, fine, that's in the Belfry, says it.
	Sonia Labasco, she was on for an interview, I'm fairly certain, because we had an air marshal talking about how they were wasting resources, tailing suspected terrorists, and neglecting actual terrorists, although...
	Okay, so that's that.
	I'm just making sure we're good here.
	We've got everything in the vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Awesome. What we're going to do right now, we're going to end this on YouTube just because, and we're going to go talk about Google, Jamie Ratskin.
	I feel like Happy Gilmore.
	Whenever I say Jamie Ratskin, I'm like, I hate Jamie Ratskin.
	He's a bad, bad man.
	They are bad, bad people.
	Kamala Harris, bad.
	The Democrat Party, bad.
	Democrat. We're going to talk about this.
	Kamala Harris has officially secured the nomination.
	She's appointed.
	Not Josh Shapiro, which would have been a glorious appointment, but apparently Tim Waltz has also some great dirty skeletons in the closet, which is going to make for a very fun election season.
	Kamala Harris is the official candidate now.
	A midnight roll call.
	99% of the vote she got.
	We're going to talk about it over on Rumble.
	And vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Hold on.
	Jeez, Louise, I just heard myself, and it's very loud and tinny.
	Okay, so here's what we're going to do.
	We do this now.
	I'm going to go end it, and we're going to go Rumble and Locals only.
	But before I do that, because I'm an idiot, I'm going to go put the link to Rumble, pin it here, and pin it, and that will be good to go.
	And then after this, I'm going to get back out and see if I find another horseshoe crab today.
	Who knows?
	Dude, it's like, I found a horseshoe crab.
	We were pulling up those little sacks of, they look like gelatinous blobs that these fish make as protective sacks when they sleep overnight.
	We're pulling those out of the water.
	I got some coconuts down from a tree and drank fresh coconut water.
	This is a funny thing, and I'll end with this thought here.
	This is the result of things that are foreign to you tend to be a little scary to you.
	I grew up in Montreal.
	Quebec, Canada.
	You know, you would get apple trees, plum trees every now and again.
	People had them in their backyards.
	You wouldn't think twice about pulling an apple off a tree and just taking a bite.
	You would look for worms and you'd rub it off and get whatever, maybe there's pesticides, but no.
	You wouldn't think twice about eating an apple or an orange off a tree because, you know, you're familiar with oranges.
	There's something about me that I'm fearful of a coconut.
	And, like, I don't know, because it's got liquid in it.
	Like, once you start drinking liquid...
	You tend to think, well, that's a little more dangerous, although you just take an orange and squeeze out all the liquid and make freshly squeezed orange juice.
	Coconuts have a fear factor for me, and I don't know why.
	And so I climb up this tree, hack down a bunch of coconuts, or I didn't climb it.
	I had a paddle and knocked a few off.
	And I get nervous when I drink the fluid, but I've done it.
	I've conquered some demons, and I had some electrolytes and juicy, delicious coconut water to replenish.
	All right, that's it.
	End of rant.
	We're going to go to Rumble and Locals right now.
	So see you there.
	I'll have the entire stream up on Viva Clips and on podcast version as well as soon as it's ready.
	So Locals and Rumble.
	Boom. Let's do this.
	All right, people.
	There was an article that I pulled up earlier today.
	I'll pull up the screen grab because it's freaking hilarious.
	It's called The Tyrant's Dilemma.
	Is it this one here?
	Yeah. Don't read it.
	Here we go.
	The Dictator's Dilemma.
	To win with 95% or 95%.
	for a long time.
	This is an unnecessarily big hug.
	The dictator's dilemma to win with 95% or 99%.
	I don't know what outlet it's from.
	It might not be from, I forget what it is, but it doesn't matter if it's reputable or not.
	It's just a funny way of phrasing it.
	In the category of least surprising news of the weekend, Turkmenistan President Gurbenghuli Berdimuhamedov was re-elected with 97% of the vote.
	The remaining 3% was spread among seven opposition candidates who spent most of the campaign lavishing praise on the former dentist.
	Berdimuhamedov seems to have gained some support or whatever.
	97%. So the joke is...
	You want it to be plausible.
	You can't have it not be plausible.
	If it's 99%, people might not believe it.
	So how do I get back out of here?
	Let's go here.
	Kamala Harris.
	We're going to get to the article in a second.
	CBS News.
	DNC virtual roll call.
	They have to do it virtually.
	They can't do it in person anymore like they've always done it because you want to avoid a 1968 Chicago convention.
	So do it virtually at midnight after you've made sure to exclude any potentially dissenting voices.
	Democracy, people.
	DNC virtual roll call vote ends with Kamala Harris receiving 99% delicate votes.
	Here are the final results.
	And I just, it's funny.
	You don't get smarter with age.
	I guess you don't get smarter, you just gather more information, which so long as you don't lose the information you've gathered, I guess does make you a little bit smarter as you get older.
	I'm old enough to remember when people would fault.
	Vladimir Putin for getting 95% of the vote?
	When people would fault and say it's a sham, Saddam Hussein got 99% of the vote.
	And somehow, when the Democrats do it, 99% of the vote via virtual roll call, it's democracy in action!
	The woman who didn't get one primary vote, the primary voters vote, and then the delegates vote according to the primary voters' majority vote.
	They voted for Joe Biden.
	So the delegates were, in theory, rule-bound to vote Joe Biden as their vote as delegates.
	Joe Biden bows out.
	They don't redo any primary process.
	I don't know how you could do it.
	They just say, we're going to vote for Kamala now, despite 14 million people voting for Joe Biden.
	And we're going to do it digitally after we make sure to browbeat and abuse out any dissenting.
	And we're going to say 99% support is an indication of her popularity.
	Sadat, this was from, where was this from?
	2002. I was going back to find some funny stuff.
	Saddam scores 100% in leadership ballot.
	The Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, topped his personal best election performance by securing 100% of the vote in yesterday's referendum, election officials said Monday.
	Voters awarded the 65-year-old president another seven years term of office, some marking their yes or no ballot with bloody fingerprints as a sign of loyalty.
	She couldn't do better than Saddam, but...
	But she did do better than Putin.
	In case you missed it, this is from Politico, I forget what year.
	Vladimir Putin secured another six years in power for himself over the weekend, quote, winning a rigged election with virtually no real opponents.
	Sound familiar?
	Shocking, right?
	In a feat of generosity, Putin only gave himself 87%.
	She really kicked Putin's ass.
	87% of the vote, according to preliminary results, the biggest share he has claimed in any of his five presidential elections wins since 2000.
	So it's hilarious because they treat you like idiots, and it would seem that Democrat supporters are in fact either idiots, morons, scoundrels, or a combination of all three who don't mind being lied to, don't mind being exploited, and don't mind bastardizing democracy in the pursuit of preserving democracy.
	Let me get the article up.
	Oh my goodness.
	You know what?
	I think now the effects of having drunk so much water are hitting me.
	Where's the article that I had to bring up here?
	Let me get into some good stuff after this.
	This is all going to segue perfectly.
	Kamala Harris, here we go, officially secures the Democrat vote.
	Did I get the one from Fox News, which 99%?
	God, every time I see that, I'm going to...
	I should have stuck with my original predictions, people.
	I'm an idiot.
	Harris officially secures Democratic nomination with 99% of the delegates.
	Oh, yada, yada.
	Democrat National Committee, Jamie Harrison, yada, yada, forget these people.
	They said in a statement that at the conclusion of the nearly week-long virtual voting period, Harris had received 99% of the votes of all delegates who participated.
	None of whom, none of whom were voted by their primary voters to vote for...
	Kamala Harris.
	With the support of 99% of participating delegates.
	Words mean something, people.
	That means that there were non-participating delegates who, I guess, were abused out of participating because nobody wants to deal with the mob, with that tyrannical machine.
	Forget it.
	Screw you.
	Go. Okay, fine.
	I'm not there to even vote, no.
	I'm not there to even vote for RFK Jr.
	I don't know.
	It's amazing.
	With the support of 99% of all participating delegates in the virtual roll call, Vice President Harris has historic momentum at her back as we embark on the final steps in officially certifying our nominee.
	Harris was the only candidate whose name was in contention for the nomination after Biden ended his re-election campaign.
	DNC rules allowed any candidate to compete for the nomination if they received the electronic signatures of at least 300 of the more than Yeah, what does it say here?
	We know that we are all part of an important piece of history.
	Yep, the death of democracy in America, and certainly the death of democracy within the Democrat Party, if it hadn't died a long time ago.
	Look at this.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me close this down.
	Then you've got...
	Did I just...
	No. I thought I shut down the entire stream.
	Then you've got...
	Who was it on Twitter?
	Politico. You got Politico.
	Coming out and saying...
	Is it the Associated Press?
	No, it's the Associated Press.
	Here we go.
	Breaking, Kamala Harris secures the Democratic presidential nomination, becoming the first woman of color at the top of a major party's ticket.
	She's a DEI hire.
	She's a DEI vice president, and now she has become a DEI.
	Denying election integrity?
	No, destroying election integrity.
	I didn't make that up.
	Someone else made that up.
	I don't remember who.
	She is a DEI hire of the highest order because she is incompetent, did not deserve what she got, did not earn what she got, and has utterly destroyed, failed at doing what she was supposed to do after having been generously given a position that she could not earn on her own skill and talent and intelligence.
	And now they're going to say, oh my goodness, it's so good.
	She's the first woman of color at the top of a major party's ticket.
	This type of identity politics, DEI bullshit, actually creates racism.
	It actually exacerbates racism.
	It exacerbates misogyny.
	It exacerbates anti-Semitism, whatever you want to call it.
	It exacerbates everything that it purports to try to combat because what you have here right now is a woman who nobody knew was black until 2020.
	She always touted herself as being Indian, Indian heritage from her mother's side.
	Her black side is a Jamaican dad who is the descendant of actual slave owners, a man who would have to pay reparations for slavery, not receive them.
	That's the black side of her family, which they're now tied to as being her new identity.
	She was never black until 2020.
	She was Indian before, gave interviews where she said, I'm going to be the first Indian senator in California.
	And now they're touting her as being the first, what did I say?
	Woman of color.
	At the top of a major party's ticket.
	She's an idiot.
	She's a buffoon.
	She didn't earn it.
	And she desecrated the Democrat process, the Democratic process in achieving that.
	And do you know what that does to people?
	It makes people look at her and say, holy hell.
	She took the position of someone more qualified.
	We don't know who that would have been.
	And the only reason she was jostled up there, propped up there, is because she's a minority and a woman.
	That makes...
	The problem works.
	But the problem is this.
	They know that.
	They do it so that people can then lash out against their inclusion policies, and they can then say, look at these racist, bigot, misogynist anti-Semites.
	We've got to go do something against them, and we've got to go do something about them.
	Now, they haven't seen the light yet.
	I mean, it's atrocious.
	They have now propped up a woman who now says she's black, a woman, first person of color, undemocratically elected, fraudulently appointed.
	Desecrates the entire process, and people are only going to associate that with the first woman of color to be on the presidential ticket.
	Great. They know it.
	Just in case anybody had any doubts about her mental acuity.
	This went viral last week, but I recirculated it yesterday, given the market's tanking.
	Don't worry, by the way.
	Kamala Harris is intelligent.
	She understands cloud technology.
	She understands the markets.
	She understands inflation.
	What else are you going to do to fix this problem with inflation?
	Thank you.
	Well, let's start with this.
	Prices have gone up.
	Yeah, that's what inflation is.
	And families and individuals are dealing with the realities of That bread costs more, that gas costs more.
	That's inflation.
	And we have to understand what that means.
	That's about the cost of living going up.
	That's inflation.
	That's about having to stress and stretch limited resources.
	That's the stress of inflation.
	That's about a source of stress for families that is not only economic, but is on a daily level.
	Something that is a heavy weight to carry.
	So it is something that we take very seriously.
	Oh, yes, yes.
	Very seriously.
	Very seriously.
	And we know from the history of this issue in the United States that when we see these prices go up, things cost more.
	It has a direct impact on the quality of life.
	Yeah, you pay more for the same thing.
	We take it very seriously.
	That's a big issue, and we take it seriously.
	And it is a priority, therefore.
	May I ask you the question that you were initially asked?
	What the hell are you going to do about it?
	Nothing. Idiot.
	She's an idiot.
	A DEI idiot.
	Let me see here.
	A Democrat.
	I'll get a good acronym for this.
	She's an idiot.
	Period. And when you have idiots in power, and I thought about this yesterday as I was lamenting the state of the world.
	When you have idiots in power, because Biden is no longer president, and the media doesn't seem to care.
	Why would they care?
	They were the ones propping that guy up.
	They were the ones promoting his fake presidency.
	They're not going to care now that he's no longer president.
	He was never president.
	But when you see weakness, when you see regimes crumbling, your enemies are going to take advantage of that.
	And even your friends are going to take advantage of that.
	I mean, they're not really your friends because they're only there to exploit you, but that's what it means to be friends in politics.
	It's like you're the drunk idiot at the party.
	You're the drunk idiot at the poker table.
	The sharks over there are going to take advantage of you.
	And your friends are probably going to take advantage of you.
	Hey, buddy, buy me a drink.
	What we have right now is basically drunken idiots at the helm of the American government.
	Joe Biden, call him drunk, demented.
	And Kamala Harris, just call her retarded.
	Like, call it what it is.
	I think Michael Malice probably had it best now that I've listened to the podcast with Joe Rogan.
	She's mentally unfit to be president.
	Everybody is taking advantage of America right now.
	So... But it gets worse.
	Let me just see what else I have here on...
	Oh, it gets worse.
	Oh, hold on.
	I actually haven't listened to this fully.
	This is Kamala Harris' new campaign ad.
	It's good to be back in Georgia.
	He does not walk it like he talks it.
	Why are they showing three of these?
	He does not walk it like he talks it.
	Do we believe in freedom?
	Remember everybody, they're rebranding her as black, and so this is what you have to do.
	She's always been.
	Just rebrand her now.
	If you vote for this idiot...
	You are confirming that you are nothing but an easily manipulated NPC.
	Period. You vote for packaging, you vote for branding, and you do not vote for substance.
	If you knew anything about this woman, oh my god, not just her skills and her talents, but what she's done to democracy itself.
	But they're rebranding her.
	She's black, by the way.
	And forget the fact that she's Indian now.
	Maybe every now and again she talks about being East Asian.
	She's no longer Indian.
	She's black.
	When we fight, we win.
	Do you remember what they tried to impeach Trump for?
	Or what they impeached him for but didn't convict him for?
	Fight like hell.
	When we fight, what the hell does that mean?
	They know exactly what they're doing.
	And it's provocation.
	You get impeached for saying fight like hell, gonna be wild.
	We get to say it, and if you say anything about it, we're gonna go after you for stochastic terrorism.
	When we fight, we win.
	And my goodness, there was...
	I'm not seeing things, right?
	There was a distinct black angle to that promotional video.
	Rebrand, people!
	She's no longer an idiot.
	She's no longer someone who locked up a generation of black men for petty crimes.
	She's no longer a moron buffoon who's unfit to serve.
	Bam! Overnight.
	Like in 1984, George Orwell.
	They take the script and they give you a new script.
	And then everyone gets mad.
	What the hell are all those signs doing up there?
	I forget the exact context in 1984.
	The signs were wrong.
	That video that says she's an idiot is still up there.
	Take it down!
	What the hell's wrong with you?
	Anyway, so that's it.
	It's crazy.
	She's now the official nominee.
	There was one more thing here.
	We are talking about rat skin.
	I hate this man.
	I appreciate hatred is a bad thing.
	It's a consuming force.
	It makes people do stupid things.
	It makes people think improperly.
	When you're blinded by hatred, you don't digest information with the requisite degree of skepticism.
	It makes you more susceptible to falling for stupid stories, fake stories, because it confirms the hatred that you already believe.
	And so it's very important to keep it in check.
	But you also can't be a liar.
	I'm not going to say I love Jamie Raskin.
	This man is a very, very, very bad man.
	Very bad man, Jerry.
	He's a very, very, very bad man.
	In all senses of the word.
	And this is a clip that Charlie Kirk posted yesterday.
	It was going viral among other people.
	I was trying to find the full interview because I could see something in the back.
	It says, like, store.
	I won't play it, but right there it says it looks like store.
	First of all, he looks like Kevin Spacey, which also makes me very skeptical of him.
	But listen to this.
	I put out a video yesterday and it's gotten some traction, but we're going to listen to it again today.
	This is how they do things.
	If you say fight like hell, impeached.
	If you say going to be wild, impeached.
	Even if you say fight patriotically, we're on the side of the blue.
	Take those videos down!
	1984. Can't have a video of Trump saying, go peacefully and patriotically protest.
	Can't have a video of Trump on the internet saying, go home, it's over, because we're saying that he's starting an insurrection.
	That runs counter to our live narrative.
	Take it down!
	That's what they do to the Republicans.
	What do the Democrats do?
	What you're going to listen to is insurrection.
	What you're going to listen to is destruction of democracy.
	It is tyranny.
	It is never relinquishing the power that you have, because bear in mind, and remember, Trump's an authoritarian.
	He'll never leave office, except he already did.
	He's an authoritarian.
	He's going to lock up his political adversaries, which is exactly what they're trying to do to him.
	He's an authoritarian tyrant.
	He's Hitler.
	And yet he gets deplatformed from Facebook, YouTube.
	Social media.
	He's one hell of a Hitlerian tyrant.
	Holy crap.
	Listen to this.
	What can be put into the Constitution can slip away from you very quickly.
	And the greatest example going on right now before our very eyes is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which they're just disappearing with a magic wand as if it doesn't exist, even though it could not be clearer what it's stating.
	And so, you know, they want to kick it to Congress.
	So it's going to be up to us on January 6th, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified.
	And then we need bodyguards for everybody in civil war conditions, all because the nine justices, not all of them, but these justices who have not many cases to look at every year, not that much work to do.
	A huge staff, great protection, simply do not want to do their job and interpret what the great 14th Amendment means.
	And I'm glad that Sherilyn's creating her new center so we can bring that.
	It's Sherlin's Center, and I don't know what word he's saying right there.
	It's loathsome.
	If you don't hate this, then you don't have a heart.
	It doesn't mean you do anything bad with that hatred.
	I mean, just be honest about it.
	He's a disgusting man who would start a civil war because, A, He would have the resources to protect himself.
	And B, because he thinks he knows better than the people.
	I forget who it was.
	He'll tell me in the chat.
	When the government fears the people, you have democracy.
	When the people fear the government, you have tyranny.
	I'm going to say George Washington.
	Let me know.
	What you have there is a man who is prepared to destroy democracy to further his own personal views.
	I mean, that's exactly what it is.
	And after an election...
	On January 6th, after Trump has been elected, through the democratic process, Jamie Ratface Skin is going to come out and say, Sorry, guys.
	Yeah, I know there's a horde of angry people out there.
	It's democracy.
	He's been disqualified.
	He was on the ballot.
	We tried to take him off.
	Supreme Court said, No, Article 14, Subsection 3 is not self-executing.
	And you already tried to impeach him, you scumbag scoundrels.
	He's disqualified now.
	So go home.
	Oh, what's that?
	Civil War?
	Okay, well, we're going to need more protection here, and we're going to weaponize the military on the civilians.
	That is calling for civil war.
	Jamie Ratskin is calling for civil war.
	He's calling for violence on the American people.
	He's calling to defy democracy.
	And he's calling for the same, I don't know, it wasn't martial law, but the same weaponizing of the military against the people that they were accusing Trump of potentially doing.
	He should be out of government.
	He should be reprimanded.
	He should be censored, if not more, politically speaking and legally speaking.
	That is the most atrocious thing you can possibly imagine any government official saying.
	He should be out of office.
	But Trump is the one who wants to subvert democracy.
	Kamala Harris gets 99% of the delegate votes, who got 0% of the primary votes, anointed.
	And Raskin's saying, even if Trump gets elected, we're going to disqualify him and fuck you.
	Oh, and by the way, get violent, we got the military.
	Get violent, we got protection.
	And they want to disarm the American people while they openly talk about doing this.
	I'm Canadian people.
	I now understand the God-given importance of the Second Amendment.
	They want to...
	They talk about disarming you while then saying, screw your democracy, we're going to armor up, we're going to security up, and we're going to come down with the full force of the military on you because you're mad, because you voted, and then we disqualified the guy that you elected.
	Is it here?
	Here we go.
	Bada bing, bada boom.
	Thank you.
	I know someone else might have given it, but I just saw here.
	When the government fears the people, you have liberty.
	When the people fear the government, you have tyranny.
	Oft attributed to Jefferson, but apparently isn't on record as an actual quote, I think.
	Then we'll give it to Mark Twain.
	Or Winston Churchill.
	But it's despairing.
	And I try not to despair, but it's despair.
	We got a new member in Locals.
	Ann Parr subscribed.
	Ann Parr.
	Welcome to the VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com community.
	It's the most above-average community on Earth of wonderful people.
	Our meemery is top-notch.
	Even the trolls are above-average.
	And welcome to the club.
	Do I do something?
	I'm going to crack my back here.
	Hold on.
	Oh, yeah.
	Did you hear that?
	That was good.
	Oh, that wasn't so good.
	Okay, there we go.
	It's enraging.
	And you try to sleep out.
	Can you imagine?
	But he says it among a crowd that is friendly, that laughs.
	Oh, and the Supreme Court Justice says, they don't have a busy workload.
	And then it gets out.
	Then he's going to say, well, geez, now I'm getting threats.
	Don't threaten him because then it allows the victimizer to play the victim.
	I'm getting threats.
	I just told the American people that I was going to shit on their right to vote, weaponize the government against them when they get angry about it.
	And now people are threatening me.
	Oh my goodness, woe is me, I'm the victim.
	DARVO, deny, attack, reverse victim and offender, a narcissistic tactic.
	Let me see here.
	I want to bring this one up.
	I love this.
	Okay, here it says, the left has to lie even to themselves.
	The left has to lie even to themselves.
	The left has to lie.
	Okay, well, we don't need to say it once because we get it the first time.
	Oh, lordy.
	So that's that.
	Let me see what's going on here.
	All right.
	And now we're going to get into Google, people.
	Let me see what's going on in the chat here, though, anyhow.
	It's outrageous.
	There was something else here.
	The Telegraph.
	Oh, let me see if...
	Okay, it's not going to happen.
	All right.
	I'm going to catch up with some people afterwards.
	Let's quickly talk about what's going on in the UK.
	The UK is going to hell in a handbasket, but that's what happens when you elect commies.
	And I had some choice words for this particular commie, but listen to this.
	So last week, or it was last week or the week before, but I think it was last week, three girls were apparently stabbed to death by someone whose immigration status unknown.
	Whether or not it was on a terror watch list, unknown.
	People start getting very angry at what is seen to be the great replacement of...
	Brits in Britain, of the Irish in Ireland, of the Scots in Scotland.
	And people take to the streets to express their discontent with the policy that is basically turning their country into an abject shithole.
	There's no freedom of speech out there anymore.
	It's not safe anymore.
	You don't have gun violence, you just have acid attacks and knife attacks.
	But at least it's not guns, right?
	And then you got this commie POS who just got elected, only because of a divided Party system.
	And he's coming down not on the perpetrators of the violence, but on the victims of the violence.
	Listen to this.
	Be in no doubt.
	No doubt.
	Those that have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law.
	Oh, you're talking about the roving gangs that were stabbing and beating Brits with hammers and swords?
	You're talking about them, right?
	Oh, no, no, you're not.
	You're not.
	You're talking about the white male.
	The police will be making arrests.
	Individuals will be held on remand.
	Charges will follow.
	And convictions will follow.
	He's got it under control, people.
	This sounds like Justin Trudeau, with a British accent and a little more eloquent, talking about the Ottawa trucker protest.
	I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves.
	This is not protest.
	It is organised, violent thuggery.
	It has no place on our streets or online.
	I mean, they say you get what you vote for.
	You get what you vote for, and unfortunately, sometimes you get more than what you vote for, and unfortunately, other people get what you vote for as well.
	So there's apparently protests going on in England on the streets now because people have had enough of basically turning their country into a raging shithole, and the police now are coming down not just on...
	Who they call the perpetrators of the violence, the people protesting the destruction of their country.
	The videos are there, people.
	Now, you've got to be a little bit skeptical and you've got to be a little bit circumspect in what you instinctively share.
	You've got to double-check.
	But the videos are there, people.
	Whatever the hell the guy's name is.
	The videos are there.
	We know exactly what's going on in the streets.
	We see the people, the roving gangs of masked individuals, beating, stabbing, harassing.
	Britners. We're Brits.
	We see it.
	This is the age of the internet.
	You can't hide it, despite your best attempts.
	And when the cops...
	Look at this.
	Look at this, bud.
	This is absolutely amazing.
	This is from The Telegraph.
	Watch. Met's chief grabs journalist's microphone after two-tier policing question.
	Credit Sky News.
	Credit Sky News.
	Do you know what that is, by the way?
	I don't know.
	It's theft.
	Because even if it's a joke, it's still theft.
	Theft is not a joke.
	A joke is not a defense to theft.
	I believe that could be called assault as well.
	Let's see something here.
	Britain assault to grab someone's...
	Let's just say phone is probably the most...
	If someone smacks your phone out of your hand...
	I don't know if we're going to go.
	Here we go.
	If that victim...
	Well, no, I'm not trusting Reddit.
	Varying degrees of assault in the UK.
	Lot. Deny.
	Deny. Deny.
	Anything. Assault is defined as the intentional and reckless harm towards an individual and discharges common assault.
	Depending on the severity.
	Yada, yada, yada.
	Let's see if we've got it here.
	Okay, every case is different.
	What is the legal definition of assault?
	Varying degrees.
	What types of assault?
	Racially, okay.
	Battery, racially motivated.
	Use of a foot.
	Premeditated, slamming someone against their will.
	Shouting, punching.
	Why do we get this?
	Phone. Phone.
	Telephone number.
	Well, that's not what we want to see, people.
	I'm fair.
	I'll double trade.
	Maybe I'm wrong about this, but...
	Smacking a phone out of someone's hand, even if you only hit the phone, in many jurisdictions is considered assault.
	Grabbing a microphone out of someone's hand, I presume, could be similarly qualified.
	Theft at the very least.
	But the police, when they do it, nothing.
	Can you imagine grabbing a body cam thing off of a cop?
	I mean, you'd be shot, well, you'd be maybe not shot dead in Britannia.
	You might get the billy club boy, but you won't get shot.
	And that's the response to, are we going to end the two-tier policing, which I presume is in response to what's going on in England right now.
	You try not to despair, but it seems like our elites, our political elites, and I'm using the word as an insult, not as a label.
	I'm using it as a slur.
	I don't want to ever be called an elite.
	I don't want to be an elite.
	And I don't think elites are elites.
	I'll call these political elites the elites because the elites in the revolutionary sense, these are the scum of society right now.
	They're driving us towards war.
	They're driving us towards civil unrest and international World War III.
	But the elite think they can do whatever the hell they want.
	And they do do whatever the hell they want.
	And they don't suffer the consequences for what they do.
	I mean, it's just like Jeffrey Epstein.
	No clients.
	They take him, and he gets killed in jail.
	And then they say, cameras weren't working, security guards were sleeping, but he committed suicide, shot up and go away now.
	And it's like, everybody knows they're lying.
	I think it's Zolitsyn or the guy there.
	They're lying.
	We know they're lying.
	They know we know they're lying.
	And they continue lying.
	And this guy gets up there.
	This guy gets up there and snatches a mic when someone asks him about your two-tier policing.
	Hold on a second.
	I want to bring this one up.
	The chat's moving a little...
	Viva? Goddamn, Viva, still whore.
	Still whore using...
	Still whore suing...
	Still whore suing Google.
	I think you meant to say I'm still a whore using Google search engine.
	Look, it's actually useful to use the tools of the enemy.
	Every now and again, because in terms of what it generates by way of results and what it doesn't, is useful.
	DuckDuckGo is no better.
	And there is a, yeah, look, I can appreciate some people think that there's a hypocrisy in all of that, but I don't, and I have a bit of a, not more nuance, and I'm not making excuses for myself.
	Amazon is caca, but Audible is good.
	You can go buy the book directly from the source, but you can buy someone's hard work off of Audible or off of Amazon, and you're supporting the people.
	You can buy Alex Jones on Amazon, and I don't think you're a hypocrite or a whore for doing it.
	So they can serve practical purposes, even though they are corrupt evil regimes.
	Okay. With that said, good.
	Now, speaking of Google and evil regimes, this is what we're going to talk about right now.
	It's wild, by the way.
	Do we start with...
	I guess we have to start with the decision, and then we're going to start with the impacts.
	I believe...
	I might get some stock in Rumble, because I don't believe that people appreciate the importance that this Google antitrust case is going to have on Rumble.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me just close this here.
	Let me bring this up.
	And I want Chris...
	Well, Chris is going to come on and talk about it.
	Google antitrust case.
	Here we go.
	Boom. Okay.
	How Google's huge defeat of antitrust case could change how you search the internet.
	This is from USA Today.
	Yeah, they're fake news, but sometimes you can get useful information out of them.
	So Google lost its antitrust.
	It's a federal antitrust case where Google was being accused not only of monopolistic practices, but also of abusing of its monopoly, its monopolistic search result engines, to...
	Artificially, because of the absence of competition, jack up advertising costs for people advertising, paying for the results of their falsified or monopolistic practices over their search results.
	In a significant legal ruling against a major technology giant in more than two decades, a federal judge...
	Google illegally monopolized online search and advertising by paying companies like Apple and Samsung billions of dollars to install Google as the default search engine on smartphones and web browsers.
	By monopolizing search queries on smartphones and browsers, Google abused its dominance in the search market, throttling competition, harming consumers.
	District Judge Meta, it's a 286-page rule, and I skimmed through it.
	I skimmed through it, but I just tune out when it gets too technical.
	I understand the gist of it.
	Google owes much of its more than $300 billion in annual revenue to search ads.
	Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly, Meta wrote.
	The massive win for the Justice Department could fundamentally reshape how Google does business.
	It could also change how we use the Internet and search for information.
	Yada, yada, yada.
	The victory against Google is a historic win for the American people, Attorney General Garland said in a statement.
	No company, no matter how large or influential, is above the law.
	Case is the most significant in the Justice Department monopoly in decades.
	Okay, fine.
	Google said it would appeal.
	Fine. Shares in Google Alphabet slipped following the ruling.
	They closed 5% down.
	Fine. It's not such a big deal.
	If upheld, it will be a major boost for other antitrust cases pending against Google, as well as...
	They don't mention Rumble here.
	It's an amazing thing.
	It's like everybody's...
	Do they mention Rumble?
	No, of course.
	Why would they mention Rumble's antitrust lawsuit against Google?
	Why would they mention that this is probably the biggest boost to Rumble's pending antitrust suit against Google?
	Let me see if I brought that up.
	Rumble sues Google.
	Again, here.
	Don't make me do that, you son of a...
	Archive. Ugh, come on, fat fingers here.
	What the...
	I say, what the hell is wrong with me?
	I just saw archive.ph.
	Okay. I say, hold still while I find something to strike you with.
	Two months ago.
	Exclusive. Rumble sues Google again.
	Does everybody remember this lawsuit?
	We covered all of these at the time.
	I've been covering Rumble's lawsuits against Google since back when I was in Canada.
	I remember doing a vlog ice fishing at my...
	Late father-in-law's cabin.
	Here, Rumble sues Google again.
	Rumble, the publicly traded YouTube alternative that's favored by conservatives, has filed a lawsuit against Google and its parent, Alphabet.
	The big picture lawsuit argues that Google owes Rumble upwards of $1 billion in damages for lost ad revenue as a client and for illegally leveraging its dominance in ad technology to hamper Rumble's ability to compete as an ad tech competitor.
	This is the second lawsuit filed by the video company against Google.
	Rumble first sued Google in 2021 for illegally favoring YouTube videos in Google search results and within its Android and mobile operating system.
	How? Well, A, by preloading the phones with those apps, and B, by directing literally videos would be originally uploaded on Rumble.
	Pretty much only viewable on Rumble, some of them, and yet the Google search results would direct to videos on YouTube some that had nothing to do with the actual search.
	Nah, hey, just Google, monopoly, abusing of its monopoly over the search engine to redirect traffic to its video hosting platform to the detriment of Rumble.
	A billion dollars on the second suit.
	I don't remember how much the first lawsuit was claiming.
	The lawsuit is currently in discovery after the judge decided against Google in a motion to dismiss the case.
	The lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of California.
	Ooh, where was the federal one?
	Okay, Google exploits significant conflicts of interest that stem from its multiple roles, yada, yada, yada.
	Between the lines, the lawsuit also alleges that Google abuses its monopoly in ad tech to illegally disadvantage Rumble at home.
	Well, that seems to have just been ratified by Judge Meta.
	Well, that could substantially help this $1 billion claim that Rumble has filed against Google, which everybody knew was going on at the time.
	It's amazing.
	I don't think the world understands.
	the impact that this decision should have on Rumble's claim against Google.
	Google unlawfully forecloses competition in the market for...
	I should read this, actually.
	Google unlawfully forecloses competition in the market for publisher ad servers, in the market for ad buying tools, for small advertisers, and in separate markets for ad exchange and ad networks.
	The complaint reads, Google excludes competition by engaging in conduct unlawful under settled anti-just precedent, and now certainly ratified by Judge Meta, including through unlawful tying arrangements, a pattern and practice of exclusionary conduct targeting actual and potential rivals, and even a market allocation and price-fixing agreement with Facebook, at one time its largest potential competitive threat in the publisher, ad server, and ad markets.
	Google did not immediately respond.
	What's going on here?
	Of note, Rumble's ad marketplace revenues are still small, but the company sees its ad tech and cloud product offering as growing parts of its business.
	Rumble's full-year revenue, 2023, $81 million.
	The vast majority of that revenue from Rumble's selling ads against user-generated content.
	That's me.
	Rumble's new lawsuit is the latest litigation waged against Google.
	And then we got this here, the Justice Department and several have sued Google last year, illegal dominance, and they just won it.
	That's the case that they just won.
	The EU fined Google $1.7 billion for stifling online ad competition.
	So it's massive.
	And I don't think people fully appreciate it yet.
	We will sure as sugar talk about it on Sunday.
	And I'm going to hopefully be able to get Chris on tomorrow.
	And hopefully I'll be back at my home office by that time.
	Not that anybody should be expected to go through this wildly tough decision to read.
	Is this it?
	Ah, something went wrong.
	Okay, so I highlighted four things here from the decision starting early on.
	This is describing the case.
	This is the executive summary at the beginning.
	Specifically, the court holds that one, there are relevant product markets for general search services and general search tech ads.
	Two, Google has monopoly power in those markets.
	Three, Google's distribution agreements are exclusive and have anti-competitive effects.
	And four, Google has not offered a valid What did I have here later on?
	Oh, this is describing the default distribution.
	The most efficient channel, I think that's Google search engine distribution, is by far placement as the preloaded, out-of-the-box default Google search engine, or general search engine.
	That access point varies by device.
	On Apple products, it is the integrated search bar in the Safari browser, and to some extent, Apple's voice assistant, Siri, and on-device search spotlight.
	And then what do we got here?
	On Android devices, it's the widget.
	Okay, fine, we got that.
	Okay, so that was one of the things.
	So that's how they got the monopoly.
	Paragraph 62, notwithstanding the option to switch, the default remains the primary search access point.
	Roughly 50% of all general search queries in the United States flow through a search access point covered by one of the challenged contracts.
	Okay, that's the monopoly.
	Then I think we get to the...
	The exclusive agreement allows Google to profitably charge super-competitive prices for text advertisements.
	The trial evidence firmly...
	This is, by the way, when you appeal a decision, if it's a question of law, the Court of Appeal has more liberty to override an erroneous finding of law by a lower court judge.
	When it comes to credibility of witnesses and assessment of evidence...
	The appellate courts show more deference, greater deference to lower courts who are in a privileged position to assess witness credibility and evidence.
	The law, all levels are equal to assess the law, and they don't have to defer to the legal analysis.
	They don't have to be as deferential to the legal conclusions, the findings of law of a lower court, as they do to the findings of fact, because when you go to appeal, you don't have witnesses testify again, and you don't...
	You don't reassess the evidence that the lower court assessed, disregarded, or considered.
	So when the judge writes, the trial evidence firmly established, that means good luck overturning this on appeal because you're relying on my assessment of the evidence.
	Trial evidence firmly established that Google's monopoly power maintained by the exclusive distribution agreements has enabled Google to increase text ad prices without any meaningful competitive constraint.
	There is no dispute that the cost per click for a text...
	Ad has grown over time.
	Google has used various, quote, price knobs, end quote, to drive these increases, often between 5% and 50% of the time, without a significant shift in advertiser spending to generalized search engine competitors.
	Or it might be good.
	I'll figure what it is.
	Ad experiments consistently show Google achieved a, quote, stickage, end quote, rate of 50% for its pricing knob adjustments, meaning half of post-launch revenue increases.
	Translated into long-term gains.
	Google also tweaked the pricing knobs when needed to achieve periodic revenue targets.
	I think that's all I have there.
	Was there something in the conclusion?
	No, so that's it.
	So that is what the court came to by way of conclusion.
	And it's a massive, I think it's a thoroughly justified decision.
	It's going to have massive impacts on Rumble that I don't think people fully appreciate as of yet.
	We'll see if I'm right about that.
	All right, what do we got down here?
	I don't know what that's about, but it sounds funny.
	Then we got, wish they would bring back Alta Vista from 1997 or so.
	Google never seemed as effective at searching.
	Ooh, what do we have in the house here?
	King of Biltong is in the house.
	Good morning from Anton's.
	Free shipping on your Biltong using code VIVA on www.BiltongUSA and AntonUSA.
	Help us fight climate change by reducing the cows eat more Biltong.
	It's South African-like beef jerky.
	It's delicious.
	It's softer, more delicious.
	It's amazing.
	Raskin refuses to accept the plainly evident truth that the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to the presidency.
	Also, even if it were to, that...
	They already tried to impeach him on the insurrection bullcrap from January 6th, and they didn't get him convicted.
	But just keep trying.
	Keep trying.
	Try until you succeed.
	Am I right?
	And then, so this all fits in, by the way, to Twitter as well, but you've got to read this.
	This is Linda Yaccarino put out an open letter to advertisers in a tweet that was retweeted by Elon Musk saying, we've tried to play nice, this is war.
	I haven't read this yet.
	This came out right before I went live.
	Every day, hundreds of millions of people come to X to be part of the only global, real-time conversation.
	They come to share their thoughts and hear others, to share their content, to see more, to debate, and be debated, to entertain, yada, yada, yada.
	The power of this community to bring global conversations to life was the reason I was so excited to join in 2023.
	After a career in media advertising, I thought I had seen everything.
	Then I read the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee's report entitled GARM, Global Alliance for Responsible Media.
	The report disclosed that their investigation had found evidence of an illegal boycott against many companies, including X. After their report found, as their report found, quote, evidence obtained by the committee shows that GARM,
	Global Alliance for Responsible Media, GARM and its members directly organized boycotts and used other indirect tactics to target disfavored platforms, content creators, and news organizations in an effort to demonetize and, in effect, limit certain consumer choices for consumers.
	The consequence, perhaps, the intent of this boycott was to seek to deprive excess users, be they sport fans, gamers, journalists, yada, yada, of the global town square.
	To put it simply, people are hurt when the marketplace of ideas is undermined and some viewpoints are not funded over others as part of the illegal boycott.
	The behavior is a strain on a great industry and cannot be allowed to continue.
	That is why X has filed an antitrust lawsuit against the Global Alliance for Responsible Get them!
	Get them, Elon.
	And I think Rumble is joining.
	Or I think Rumble may have started first and they're joining.
	I forget which.
	Rumble and Twitter, X, are on the same side right now.
	I'm partial to Rumble.
	They've been there first, and they've been fighting hard, despite all odds.
	But it's good to see an alliance of good to fight an alliance of evil.
	They're suing these people, these people, these people here.
	Okay, this is not a decision we took lightly, but it's a direct consequence of their actions.
	The illegal behavior of these organizations and their executive cost X billions of dollars.
	Since arriving at X, I made it my mission to continue to build a platform where people, brands, advertisers can thrive in our unique, dynamic, and safe environment.
	And because of this commitment to our users, and despite the boycott, user usage has reached all-time highs.
	The same is true for video.
	Fine. We have met and surpassed the request made by advertisers and groups such as GARM for new tools, both to improve the advertisers' control and the effectiveness of our products to drive increased value for our customers.
	How long does this go for?
	Where am I?
	Oh, yeah.
	We have proven our platform provides advertisers a way to showcase their brands, reach their targets, efficiently say...
	To those who broke the law, we say this, enough is enough.
	We are compelled to seek justice for the harm that has been done by these and potentially additional defendants, depending on what the legal process reveals.
	It's also clear that there are likely others who suffered at the hands of this activity.
	The case is about...
	More than damage is we have to fix a broken ecosystem that allows for this illegal activity to occur.
	We will continue to innovate and ensure that X is a vibrant future, yada, yada, yada.
	To all of you who have been part of the transformative journey we are on, thank you.
	Rest assured we will not stop defending our global town square.
	Linda. Linda, who took some flack when she joined, and so did Elon, because she, you know, was maybe arguably part of the team evil for a while.
	Maybe she's seen the light and has come around.
	To the good side of history.
	People, we've done good.
	I'm going to end this and we're going to go do a little after party at Locals and then I'm going to go see what the family's doing.
	It looks nice out there.
	A little windy.
	Maybe we'll go scuba diving or go to Shell World and buy some crap.
	Maybe I'll get another blowfish.
	But thank you for being here.
	So stay tuned.
	I'll be live tomorrow.
	I don't know when.
	And I'm going to try to get that interview with Chris Pawlowski, try to get Tommy Robinson on so we can talk about what's going on in England, and see what happens this week with the rest of the news.
	Everybody, we're going to end it and bring it over to vivobarneslaw.locals.com.
