To- All
right, and it goes on, and I'm going to end it there for the time being.
People, good evening.
It is Sunday.
Let me make sure.
Apparently my mic was interfering with the song, so I muted it.
I was not going to make the same mistake and be whistling yet again the song for everyone who doesn't yet know.
Five times August, Liars, Cheats, and Crooks.
And as I say the title...
Liars, cheats, and crooks.
It goes with the rhythm of the song.
The song is available on Apple Music.
Make it trend number one.
I don't, you know, let me say that.
I shouldn't say I don't care that some of you don't like Apple.
You should set that disdain for Apple aside and make it the number one in whatever category the song is.
Five times August, liars, cheats, and crooks.
Five times August has some of the most amazing, beautiful...
Songs that will define the last five years of our collective lives.
All right, and I brought up a chat that said, yeah, Biden on his way out.
Let's start World War III, people.
We're going to get there.
Before we get there, I want to play something.
People are melting down.
They are having absolute abject freakouts on the internet.
Kyle Kalinske is having an absolute certifiable psychological meltdown.
A bunch of Kyles.
Kyle Griffith is having one.
What's-His-Face's wife?
Kyle Kalinske's wife.
Crystal Ball.
Meltdown. Alan Lichtman.
Meltdown. People are melting down and it's, I say, hilarious to watch.
And I don't know when I'm going to get fatigued and have to put them on mute because it's outrageous.
Forgive the swear word.
There's a swear word in here because Kyle is an idiot.
Kyle swore in his tweet, and so in order to keep with the theme of his tweet, I had to swear in mine.
Secular talk.
It's ironic because Kyle Kalinsky, his handle is called Secular Talk, when he embodies the elements of religion without the respect for a god, which is sort of like worshipping himself as a religion.
It's ironic.
His talk is not secular.
It's thoroughly religious, but bad religion because he doesn't have any overarching...
Principle of greater being.
Kamala didn't mention race, gender, trans people, pronouns, Latinx, cancel culture, political correctness.
And she did mention patriotism, freedom, owning a gun, like we believe that, representing all Americans, like we believe that, cracking down on the border.
This is...
Anybody who tells you she was, quote, too woke is just fucking lying to you and caving in to bullshit far-right framing.
And I have to ask him, it's a sincere question.
He'll never answer.
It's an amazing thing.
I know that these guys see these tweets, and I know that they deliberately ignore me, which is almost more of a victory than the block, which I would also celebrate.
This is your question.
Are you effing stupid or do you just assume all of your followers are stupid, Kyle Kalinske?
Literally everything you said in your tweet is wrong.
Not just wrong, a brazen lie.
Are you stupid?
Or are you just relying on the stupidity of anyone who's stupid enough to follow?
I just put this together in five minutes.
But remember what he said.
She never mentioned pronouns, wokeism, gender, trans people, whatever.
Everything he said is a lie.
Good to see you, Senator.
Thank you for joining us.
How are you?
Thank you, guys.
And my pronouns are she, her, and hers.
She, her, and hers.
Look at her.
I want to vomit.
I actually want to vomit.
Look at her face.
This is 2020, people.
So Kyle Kalinske, the weasel rat that he is, he'll say, well, she didn't mention it during this election cycle.
You're damn right.
She might not have.
I don't think that she didn't because on her freaking website to apply for a job, it had more pronouns than policy people.
They had who, who, H-U-H-U as a pronoun on her website to apply for a job this election cycle.
But look at her disgusting, proud face.
She, her, her.
Thanks, Kamala.
I thought you grew a penis in the last 40 years.
I was going to call you he, him, and his.
Mine too.
Good for Cuomo.
All right.
There was a specific case and when I learned about the case, I worked behind the scenes to not only make sure that that transgender woman got The services she was...
Transgender woman, i.e.
a man in prison, got the services he wanted.
A taxpayer dollars.
Deserving. So it wasn't only about that case.
I made sure that they changed the policy in the state of California.
I love you back!
I love you back!
I grew up...
I don't know.
Does that qualify as Latinx?
I love you back!
I'm like sounding French-Canadian and not even Latina.
I love you back!
She's psychotic.
She's psychotic.
The children of the community are the children of the community.
By the way, the children of the community are the children of the community because they're the children of the community and the community owns those children.
Communism, by the way.
Other than being a tautology, communism.
Social media platforms, accountable.
She didn't talk about censorship.
For the hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility.
To help fight against this threat to our democracy.
And if you profit off of hate, if you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don't police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable as a community.
I stand before you as the first candidate for vice president of the United States of South Asian descent.
My mother and father, they came from opposite sides of the world to arrive in America, one from India and the other from Jamaica.
It's repulsive.
Can you imagine what the world would look like today if she had actually won?
By the way, they're still counting votes.
They're still counting votes.
It's November 17th, and they're still counting votes and celebrating.
These idiots, I think, ooh, I don't want to wrongly accuse someone of being an idiot.
I don't remember who.
They're celebrating the fact that they're still counting votes, and of a batch of 25,000 or 24,000 that came in, 21,000 went to Kamala, and 2,500 went to Trump.
Keep counting, people.
By 2028, they will declare Kamala the winner.
Holy Krabappel heck, people.
Good evening.
This is going to be a very special show because Barnes has yet to take his victory lap, the well-deserved victory lap, from the election results.
And I know everybody out there, you've got questions.
I've got questions.
I like to pick the brains of people.
And I like to pick Barnes' big brain.
Barnes' big brain.
I like that.
It's a good alliteration.
So we've got questions and we're going to cover it and we're going to talk about what the heck is going on.
Pennsylvania has three more days.
Of votes to count.
Yeah, and California's got until the end of the month, plus another six days.
Look, speaking of fraud, if you're still counting votes for an election that happened on...
I have to phrase this properly.
If, on November 17, you are still counting votes for an election that occurred on November 5th, there's a word for that.
Fraud. And by the way, speaking of fraud...
Our sponsor of the evening.
It is a product that I use myself, that we as a family use ourselves.
I want to tell you about a crime that's happening in the U.S. called house stealing, also known as title theft, where criminals can transfer your home's titles into their name with just a single document and wipe out your equity without you even knowing it.
Many of you know I'm not from Florida.
Many of you know I'm currently living in Florida.
Which sadly has become the hotbed for these types of crimes.
There's a family in Sarasota.
Home Title Lock caught a cyber thief from New York trying to sell their property on a popular real estate website.
The theft had fraudulently changed the title, but Home Title Lock quickly detected it and restored it back to the title of the rightful owner.
Imagine if they hadn't subscribed to Home Title Lock.
It could have been...
Would have been disastrous.
If you're a home, if you're not monitoring your title, these criminals can get away with this, leaving you, the homeowner, to deal with the aftermath in court.
The best way to protect your equity is to triple lock protection from our friends at Home Title Lock.
Triple Lock is 24-7 monitoring alerts and restoration services.
You can get a free 30-day trial and a free title history report when you use the promo code VIVA30 at HomeTitleLock.com.
Use the link in the description below.
It's all there, by the way.
It's in the...
The description of the video.
That is hometitlelock.com, promo code VIVA30 for 30 days of protection, and a title report for free.
And it's an amazing thing.
We don't have that that I know of, that type of fraud up in Canada.
And I have discovered over the last two and a half going on three years, there's a lot of beautiful things in Florida.
In fact, it's an amazing place.
Wouldn't change anything.
Insurance up the wazoo, home insurance, car insurance, and...
Title theft is a real thing.
Check them out, hometitlelock.com.
They're amazing.
All right, now, we're live everywhere, so share the link.
By the way, we're going to break some personal bests tonight, and I'll get to some of the donations, or as we say, they're called donations in studio, but I want to bring this one up because it looks like Lori Bell has just become a member of our Above Average community.
Lori Bell.
Welcome to the community.
I'm going to get to everything that I can.
And if I miss some of the super chats, please do not be miffed.
And if you're going to be miffed, if I miss a super chat or a rumble rant, don't do it.
We get to the tip questions in Locals at our after party, vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
And for those of you who are new...
We start on all four platforms, I guess.
YouTube, Twitter, Rumble, and VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
And at a given point in time, we vote with our feet, vote with our eyeballs, and head on over to Rumble, then Locals, to support the parallel economy.
Let me bring up a few here.
Let's see what's going on here.
What happens if Trump picks Gates, for example, and not confirmed?
Does he have to pick someone else, or can the position be left vacant?
I happen to know but not understand the procedure, that there's something called they can...
They can go into recess and then name people to fill the positions up until the next election or the next interim election, but they can't do it too often.
But I'll wait for Barnes to get in for that one because I don't want to misdescribe it, and I've got my own personal questions about this.
It was Kyle Griffin.
Here, check this out.
Oh, no, this was on the subject of Gates.
It's an amazing thing.
You've lived through it, and now you see it every time that it happens.
I was too young when, what's his name?
Clarence Thomas was getting confirmed.
And then out of the blue, out comes Anita Hill with sexual impropriety accusations against Clarence Thomas.
And Clarence Thomas, at the time, in a speech that would go viral 30 years later, referred to what was done to him as a high-tech lynching.
The powers that be don't like seeing an independent, Independent thinking black men ascending the ranks.
And so under the, I don't know if it's under the tutelage or at least under the leadership of Joe Biden, engaged in what was regarded, referred to as by Clarence Thomas himself, a high-tech lynching.
For those of us who didn't live through that, although I remembered it because we all remembered the hair on a can quip from all of that, when Brett Kavanaugh Was going to get confirmed.
And then they discover Christine Blasey Ford and a story that's 35 years old of sexual improprieties at a house party in the 80s.
And then you understand how they go into their bag of tricks and use the same tricks over and over and over again.
Now, just go find sex.
Go make sex accusations up.
Matt Gaetz has been named or selected by Trump to be the next Attorney General.
The markets of Cal sheet don't seem to be too convinced that he's actually going to get the confirmation because he's, you know, I don't know, was that 30-some odd percent?
I'm not invested in any of this.
Am I invested in the Attorney General?
Even if I'm wrong because I'm not, I need to pick Barnes' big brain.
It doesn't seem like there's, there seems to be great fear that Gates will not get confirmed.
But you see the stories coming out, and I say these stories.
People need to go to jail and then to hell for these stories because that's what they deserve for this.
Kyle Griffin, who's never been one to shy away from spreading malicious propaganda.
Oh, where does he work again?
Let me see here.
Oh, yes, that's right.
Wait, wait, wait.
One second, one second.
He was at MSNBC.
Okay, good.
Executive producer, The Weekend, MSNBC.
That's this Kyle Griffin.
See, the thing about this is he's throwing me off.
I want to like him.
Because he's got the clip from the best episode of The Simpsons ever.
This is the episode when Lisa becomes a vegetarian.
You don't make friends with salad.
And then at the end of the episode, the pig that got stuck in the hole from the dam gets launched into space and is flying through the air with a little apple in its mouth and looks so happy.
He's got the best episode of The Simpsons in his bio, in his banner.
He's got a pug in his profile picture.
These are typically...
This guy, he's like that animal in the wild that looks cute and cuddly.
But it's actually venomous.
Like, there's some animals that pretend to be venomous so they get left alone.
And then there's other ones that pretend to be innocent so they can get you.
That's what he is.
I'm sort of being funny about this, but he writes, NBC News confirms a woman told the House Ethics Committee earlier this year that she once saw Matt Gaetz have sex with her.
Can you believe this?
This is like, I saw Matt, I saw somebody having sexual relations with someone who is a minor, 17 years old, according to this witness who was not trusted.
She says she saw him doing something with someone who she thinks was...
None of it makes any sense.
Are they partaking in group sex?
This is like an orgy or something?
The woman's lawyer says she testified before the committee that she witnessed...
I don't even want to repeat these filthy, slanderous allegations.
People need to be sued for this.
The government officials that repeat these lies, they get immunity.
Not Kyle Griffin.
By the way, the story...
It's amazing what Kyle Griffin tells you, and then what he doesn't tell you.
Let me just get to the punchline of this.
ABC News was first report that Leppard had said his clients had testified before the panel.
Quote, Merrick Garland's DOJ cleared Matt Gaetz and didn't charge him.
Are you alleging Garland is part of the cover-up?
A spokeswoman for Gaetz said Friday.
Gaetz, 42, who represented Florida's District 1 covering part of the Florida Panhandle, was investigated by the FBI on sex trafficking allegations involving a 17-year-old woman and was not charged with any crime.
The federal investigation ended last year.
Gaetz has said he was the target of an extortion plot.
Hmm. It's an amazing thing.
What's that guy's name again?
What Kyle will tell you, and then what Kyle will not tell you.
And then they throw these slanderous accusations out there so that even when the story dies, even when no action is taken because no action is warranted for being taken, somehow in everybody's memory, Matt Gaetz will always have that tarnished stain of something.
I don't really remember what, but I remember, didn't someone...
Come after him for sexual...
Oh, yeah.
Isn't he that perv that was accused of something, even though it was investigated and not pursued?
And now everyone's going to say, Viva, you don't trust the FBI when they do investigate, and then you trust them when they don't investigate?
Yeah. Because if they could have gone through with a story that would have satisfied their politically biased, corrupt narrative, they would have.
And so when the FBI goes and raids Mar-a-Lago and falsifies evidence that they lay out there and put their little book covers on that say classified when it didn't say classified, and then they don't charge Matt Gaetz, that means he's even more innocent and didn't even deserve the investigation in the first place.
I'm more inclined to believe he was a victim of extortion.
And then we got some other stuff in a second, but let me just see if we're not missing anything over on Commitube.
We got, over on Commitube, not a banned account, Barnes Esquire heard his back carrying this election.
I was going to say he heard his back doing a celebration dance, but I don't want to say that.
David March says, if they don't confirm him as AG DeSantis can appoint Gates to Rubio's Senate seat, checkmate 4D move by Trump.
We'll see what Barnes has to say when he gets in here.
Let me make sure that I actually did give Barnes the link.
Hold on, let me just make sure.
Text him.
I don't know.
Okay, and then we'll get to this afterwards.
Let me see what's going on over on Crumble.
Okay, we got Cheryl Gage says Barnes big brain for Supreme Court.
It's not too late for Barnes for Attorney General, people.
I don't want to...
Barnes isn't on the list yet.
Although, oh God, Jeff Clark is on the list.
Jeff Clark, who you might remember from such podcasts, Sidebars, as Viva and Barnes with Jeff Clark.
I was looking through...
We had J.D. Vance on back in the day.
Back before he was who he is today.
Let me scroll down here, and then we're going to get to the next story until Barnes gets here.
Ooh! Well, I could have brought this up earlier.
Alan Derelict Lichtman.
If you haven't seen this, you want a good laugh.
End Wokeness.
Everybody knows End Wokeness, but they get these clips.
I realize how it works now.
We've all got our communities and the information filters up.
This is Alan Lincoln, speaking of meltdowns, melting down.
Let's see who's at the door.
Here, I'm going to play this while I look at that.
Listen to this.
It was some 10 million...
Biden voters who decided not to vote this time, and that's directly tied to misinformation.
You know, they don't like Trump, but, you know...
Did Donald Trump not pick up more votes this time than he did in 2016?
Pardon me?
Did Donald Trump pick up more votes this time than he did in 2016?
Yeah, but not than he picked up in 2020, the most relevant last election.
You picked up about the same.
I think what I'm saying is that both sides can say things like this, like misinformation.
It's hard to quantify that.
If you don't let me make my points, why do you have me on?
No, it's a conversation.
It's spirited.
I think there's a little bit of it today.
We're done.
We're done.
You won't let me talk.
What's the point?
Are you the expert or am I the expert?
You can question me.
Apparently you so claim to be an expert.
Yes, go ahead.
Thank you.
The critical thing in this election were at least 10 million Biden voters who did not vote.
If even half of them had voted, this election would have been different.
We hope to have you back in four years.
There is a little bit of a delay, Professor Lickman.
So I apologize if we were stepping on each other's toe.
Our intent was, of course, to listen to what you had to say.
And like you said, you were wrong.
If even half of the 10 million who didn't vote this time around vote next time around, can you imagine being so obtuse that it doesn't connect?
That maybe something happened that those...
I think they've whittled it down now to like a 9 million that he doesn't connect.
Maybe there was something singularly unique about those alleged 9 million allegedly constitutionally valid votes such that that would explain why they're not here now.
Oh my goodness.
They're going to call him Alan Thickman.
Alan Thickman, because he's so thick he doesn't seem to get it.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Okay, we got over here in our Viva Barnes.
This is on Rumble.
Viva, will you look into getting the same subscriber deal that Mug Club has so we can continue to watch on Rumble instead of having to switch over to the clunky locals video interface?
That's not a terrible idea, and I think there might be a way to do that when they seamlessly intertwine the Viva, the locals, and the Rumble.
Okay, I'll look into that.
Let me screen grab that so I don't forget.
I see Barnes' screen in the bottom, but I'm not sure if his camera is not getting recognized.
While we do that, let me just go down here and pull up a few more.
Stingray says, thanks for even my dog ran through the front door and started whining when your doorbell went up.
I'll tell you, I like the ring thing.
Let's see, we got Sunshine who's asking.
Would it be possible to federalize the presidential and congressional elections with paper ballots, etc., to get rid of this craziness?
Also, would it be possible for Trump to bring back the Smith-Mund Act and hold the media financially responsible for their lives?
We're going to get to both of those questions tonight.
Because I'm looking at this and saying, what the hell is going on?
I appreciate, first of all, federal elections are a federal issue, but I appreciate that the states run their own elections.
You cannot have states counting votes two weeks to four weeks.
Out of the election.
It's impossible.
It doesn't make sense.
Barnes looks badass!
Sir! There's no audio yet.
Well, it looks like he's trimmed his facial hair, which looks good.
Let me see here.
Let me make sure that it's not on my end.
No, there's nothing on my end.
Okay, we'll let that come up in a second.
Susie C. from our local screen.
He says, may the Barnes be with us.
Well, he's here.
Now we're going to get past the...
Okay, hold on.
And while we do that, let me just play one other funny thing here.
There are two.
This video, I won't play the whole thing.
It's actually a great idea for a science fiction movie.
Are you distraught after the recent presidential election?

Everything will be okay.
We're here to take care of you in your time of need.
So remember, don't cry.
It's not over yet.
The punchline is not over yet.
Great idea.
Already been done.
Where am I?
Oh, please tell me it's over.
Wait, something isn't right.
This is your captain, Elon Musk.
I want to be the first one to welcome you to Mars.
No! Oh, you got the idea.
It's classic.
And it's actually a great idea for a science fiction movie.
Let me see what's going on here.
Bada bing, bada boom.
Okay. Alrighty.
And I think that was entirely generated with AI, which is absolutely phenomenal.
Randy Edward was actually relieved when I heard Gates was feeling up 17-year-old girls.
Honestly thought the guy was hitting for the other day.
Okay, now, first of all, we're 17. He's dating.
He was in his 30s, and they were...
It's just absolute filth, because they throw those filthy allegations, accusations out there, and they never go away.
Viva, please don't merge to only rumble.
We'll only lose our ability to meme.
I don't think we're ever getting rid of it.
We're never getting rid of locals, people, so don't worry about that.
The only question is, is there a way to figure that out?
We'll see.
Alex P over on vivabarneslaw.local.com.
There is no Viva Barnes without Robert.
We love you, big guy.
Now he's disappeared in the bottom of the hole.
He'll be back.
He'll be back.
Give it a second here.
Do I want to bring up the news of the day until Barnes gets here?
That Biden, as his departing gift for the presidency, with November, December, Jack, two months left, is ostensibly, he's not declaring World War III, but he's authorizing, from what I've been able to surmise, and I'm nervous about reading not the headlines, but the early news too quickly.
Authorizing Zelensky to strike within Russia using American-provided arms, which was the other red line that Putin said he will deem to be an act of war if it happens.
There was certain types of weapons being provided, long-range missiles, and Biden providing certain weapons just crossing over one red line after another.
And on the eve of him being ousted from the office, Seemingly authorizing Zelensky to do that which might provoke World War III.
And who knows what happens after that.
It's absurd that the only...
And I'm saying there's a war going on.
But it really seems that there's one faction that is trying to start World War III.
And another faction that is, albeit waging a brutal war, not trying to escalate this to World War III.
And wouldn't you know which one was which?
Because it looks like it's, I dare say...
Not a Russian paid agent.
I dare say there's only one party who's not escalated this to World War III despite the West and NATO's best efforts.
Robert Barnes, sir, you look good.
Can you hear and see okay?
I can hear you.
I can see you.
You're wearing some Hundley unstructured.
This is a throwout.
It's the first channel before his 2,633 latest channels.
It's amazing.
And that is a, you know, Grobert filled in for you last week, and we had a good one, but everybody...
Everyone misses the Barnes.
I mean, he's got the documentary channel, the America's Untold Stories, all that.
It's just, you know, this was his first, which was cool.
Barnes, you haven't been able to take your victory lap for the election.
Now, I was going to make the joke, like, it's like you fell into a...
You didn't fall into a coma.
It's like, though, you disappeared and you come back and, oh...
Trump is elected.
Gates is nominated.
RFK Jr. is nominated.
I mean, let's go back just to the election day.
I mean, you called it, and I believe, to the number.
You and Barris had it 312 to 226.
Yeah, well, the number I predicted back in the summer was 312.
I thought he could steal maybe one or two states to get to 319.
Interesting note, however.
If we had been properly apportioned and census hadn't made the mistakes they made in 2020, actually Trump would have hit about 319.
Because of the way the Republicans were shortchanged.
So I was like, man, even my alternative line would have hit.
And my prediction all the way back was about 150 million voters.
I couldn't decide between the lower end and the higher end of that scale.
It came in with 151 million in the end.
But basically, he kept saying, you know, it's going to be between 150-155 million voters.
Not the 165 people we're talking about.
And that the Trump, I thought, would actually win a majority.
He, for the first time ever, would win the popular vote for him for the first time ever.
And so I placed him at 75-77 million votes.
And Harris at 72-74 million votes.
It right now looks like it will finish around...
77 to 78 million votes for Trump, maybe a little higher, and around 74 million for Harris.
Almost the exact gap, almost the exact percentages, almost the exact number of votes.
Which, by the way, in 2020, I predicted Trump would win 75 million that year.
And I just thought that the Democrats would be around 75 to 77. And instead of didn't know how big the other number was.
Well, it turned out to be a little over 81 million.
And then according to the U.S. Census, Which does the best, most thorough testing of who voted in an election other than voter registration date itself.
They've always reported people over-reporting.
Like, who wants to be like, oh yeah, no way, I didn't vote, ha ha.
There's not as many of those these days.
So people tend to say they voted when they didn't.
Because they'll feel bad, like, well, I was going to.
Yeah, I voted.
But, so, historically, you take whoever says they voted, cut it off by about...
5 million or so, the top 10 percentage or so, and that's the number you'd get.
What has never happened before was for a census presidential election report a year later, under-report the number of people who the election officials said voted.
The census came back and said about 152 million people or so.
In other words, right around the number I thought voted.
And up to 155, it was the sort of bandwidth they were in when you're operating at those statistical ranges.
And by about 5-6 million Americans didn't remember voting in the 2020 election.
And then here we come around 2024, and my prediction all the way back to 2020 was Trump would win unless very unusual turnout from mail-in voting occurred.
And it did, just enough of it, to be the margin of victory that was very thin.
And three states, Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin.
And so Trump only needed to improve a little bit.
And the fundamentals had so drastically gone in Trump's direction, in the sense of what people feel about the economy, wages, jobs, chances of just living a decent life.
And really sort of multiple generations.
The older industrial workers in the Midwest who Trump brought back into the Republican Party, who was the heart and soul of the Republican Party not that long ago.
People just forgot that part of the Republican Party.
The Senator Hawley, we don't need to be in NATO, Republican Party.
The Republican Party that was skeptical of the United Nations, that wasn't eager to join the latest effort.
The... Wouldn't be bragging about it on their resume.
As a certain ex-ambassador is currently.
She seeks all of her new defense contract cash.
Your values are out of place, and you're the man, and all that kind of stuff.
And you had the counterculture sort of films.
But the beginning of sort of the working-class rebellion, you can take all the way back to that.
You know, people like...
Amanda Milius' father, John Milius, who's done a bunch of great movies, has a little finger on Gladiator, a little finger on Red Dawn, a little finger on Dirty Harry.
That's a sign.
And who's Dirty Harry?
Well, he's only the next vice president, Mamaw's favorite iconic character.
And what was that about?
That was about blue-collar people not liking the sort of lefty cultural revolt of the 60s.
That looked down on them.
They didn't want to be in the war, but don't blame them for it.
They don't want to criminalize everything out of the sun, but don't blame them, but don't treat their cop brother-in-law as if he's persona non grata, as if he's indistinguishable from a modern-day Stousey.
So you had an older working-class generation that had been rebelling since the time they came of age.
The group that joined them this cycle, that Trump kind of accidentally got, and what I mean by accidentally, in that he wasn't tuned in initially.
He got tuned in, and from two probably of the most unlikely sources you would have guessed three years ago.
Which is, the second revolution was the young working class.
The old industrial working class that already rebelled, kept begging for somebody to stand up for them, and nobody would.
And they went from Tea Party to Trump to Obama to wherever in between to try to get some sort of resolution or remedy for the old industrial working class that built this country that's now been spat on, successively, generations.
But now they have the young working class joining their rebellion.
And they're often Latino.
They're often Mexican-American or Puerto Rican or Cuban or Venezuelan or Colombian or Jamaican.
Sort of other denominate, other regions, religions, races, or groups.
To the degree that you have that, you know, the group that was supposed to build the Coalition of the Future Democratic Party was old labor and new labor.
And the new labor was this young office space world where the kids were hip and chic, wanted to be liked by the right crowds, were the right filters on Instagrams.
And they basically had their dreams crushed in the last decade as well.
All the social media has been a disaster.
Created the biggest wave of mental illness amongst young women we've ever experienced.
That's a short time frame.
Then you look at it economically.
They have the least prospects going forward just as an objective and subjective matter that you can see out there.
Rent's too high.
Can't afford a car.
Can't afford utilities.
Can't afford very basic things.
Things that make you feel proud that you delivered if you're a father or protective if you're a mother.
And so they joined.
And the noises that they were going to join had been there for a little while.
A lot of these people entered the crypto space.
A lot of these folks were entering into a new...
The post-COVID was creating whole new coalitions across the populist left and right.
And the two of the people that helped bridge the gap for Boomer Trump...
True to pop cult populist revolution crypto led today are one is a young man that almost nobody still knows, Barron Trump, who's had far greater influence than people could ever imagine behind the scenes.
It may turn out his father's most natural protege in the political world.
Despite my great respect for what Don Jr. and others have done in that space.
Barron, I think, has it to another level.
Any sort of a personification of that young person's revolution.
It's like, well, I don't think we're going to be joining all you state cultists.
And the other one was, to me, it was like a culmination of a bunch of different things.
In the sense that, politically, this election affords the best chance for the greatest reform on the most pressing issues.
I think in American history, period, I think Trump has the, you know, they talk about Band of Brothers, they talk about, you know, putting together adversaries.
Nothing compares to what you need is a group of people who've spent a better part of their lives dedicated and devoted to fixing what's wrong with our government.
And a large part of that, you're going to conclude, I think, more often than not, is the government.
But you don't have to share my opinion in that regard or Ronald Reagan's in that respect.
To realize there's at least an issue.
And you have people like Vivek who's obsessed with it.
People like Elon Musk who just proved what he could do with Twitter who's obsessed with it.
Just the issue of efficiency, quality, assurance, logical, rational self-interest being factored into the situation fundamentally in a responsive way that the old, frankly, political machines could do that the current administrative state cannot.
And so joining those two groups, I mean, it was to me a natural that it would come from these two circles.
Because when I was a kid, after my father passed away, I had sort of huge respect for three figures that were kind of like father-like figures after he passed, after my dad passed.
One was Phil Fulmer, great coach of the University of Tennessee football program.
And that was the beginning of our football rise.
So I have sort of a deep affiliation.
As Mark Robert described, for Americans, baseball isn't really about the baseball.
It's about the family, the relations between the people.
And some similar sort of memorable dynamic for me with Tennessee football.
Then the second was, I got two books, and I carried them around everywhere.
And one of them was Donald Trump's Art of the Deal.
That there were parts of that book where Trump...
I'll never forget this piece, but basically always plan as if you're going to win.
Plan as if you're going to win.
Now, that doesn't mean you can't have contingencies in case any other event occurs.
Do both.
In fact, expect the worst possible outcome.
But at the same time, assume you're going to win.
And it creates this mindset.
That's brilliant.
That I've used my whole life.
But the other book was Robert Kennedy Sr.'s To Seek a Newer World.
That there was someone complaining in 1968 something has gone deeply wrong with our system and our society of government.
And some of them might say it started with the assassination of President John Kennedy.
So, you know, what better way to get some sort of real relief and remedy for people?
Then we have a presidential election of a man who survived impeachment, survived indictment, survived imprisonment, survived bankruptcy, survived every smear campaign known to man, and literally survived a bullet.
And can't wait to just improve the country.
And you're going to have someone like Robert Kennedy, who knows more and understands health better.
Any health official in America by a long mile?
If you don't believe me, just try to find the one that will dare to debate Robert Kennedy.
Anywhere, anyplace, anytime.
They have refused for decades.
We're still waiting for Peter Hotez.
But, Robert, the question that I had about the results, the discrepancy now is 7.5 million, give or take.
I don't think you've ever said, and I don't think we've ever said, that the votes were Fraudulent in the sense that people that didn't exist, but rather people that didn't know they were voting.
That's what I thought most of them were.
There might be some that had died or some that existed but didn't exist at that address.
So there's two ways to think of it.
How many people voted who were legitimately trying to vote, who were legitimately qualified to vote, and something went AWOL with the ballot, and they shouldn't have been allowed to...
Count it, but it did.
So you have an honest voter, but a dishonest vote.
Maybe you define honest vote as a vote done according to the rules.
Then you have dishonest votes as well, in the sense of dishonest voters and dishonest votes.
How many of those we never knew?
Very hard to prove.
What you could prove in Arizona was that the signatures did not match on just a subsample they looked at.
Democratic Party's own expert looked at, that was 10 times greater than the size of the margin of victory.
But what the judge did is he flipped the script.
He said, no, no, now you have to prove to me that, yeah, that signature doesn't match, but it doesn't match because the person who signed it committed fraud.
That's never been the legal standard.
That's the legal standard if you want to prosecute that individual.
It's not the legal standard for whether a vote counts or not.
Because they know of all of these problems.
So they said, all that you have to prove is that there is a doubt about there being a vote.
And because the most effective mechanism to figure out whether there was a doubt with the signature matches, but because the courts turned around and decided they weren't going to enforce the actual signature matches, is why we had to wait in four years to figure out who was right.
Well, all the people who said it was natural, organic, authentic turnout, that even if it was a person who voted, Absolutely.
That doesn't matter.
They would have voted anyway.
Those people believed that there would be much higher turnout.
They believed that we would break through and get, you know, what was it last time?
We got up to 100, right over 160.
So there's about 165, you know, just population growth.
That same voter turnout.
And people like me were saying, In fact, I was shocked by it, because I didn't understand why they had replaced Biden with Harris in first place.
I thought Harris was a weaker candidate.
It was only in sort of watching some of their shows, some of the podcasts, who I follow anyway, that I realized the degree to which they, Democrats, why did Democrats, why were they guaranteed to lose 2024?
Because they don't realize they lost 2020.
That's why they were always guaranteed to lose 2024.
Because the...
I didn't realize until watching them that they thought all these people...
Oh, this is a pandemic.
This is a great time to get out that way.
Like, you don't even realize...
And that's...
By the way, that's the risk when you outsource fraud.
The upside to outsourcing fraud is it's very tough to track from an evidentiary perspective.
Because, right?
Like, you got 10 different...
Let's say they're robbing the same store, the same items, but they're 10 different thief rings.
So they're probably going to execute differently, assuming they're unrelated.
That's what outsourcing the fraud meant.
It meant you incentivized the nursing coordinator at the local old folks' home to say, well, you know, I'm sure Betty hates Trump.
And if she could really vote, but she just can't move right now, I'm just going to help her out.
And it escalates.
And that's how you get, by the way, where even the system has no idea how many good or bad ballots are in there.
When you've outsourced it, you have no idea who's done what.
You're just praying it doesn't show up in a provable way against you.
And you knew that the biggest thing to do was to, during the preliminary stage, just say, hey, we have a lock-in signature match mechanism.
No chance that there'll be anybody denying the right to vote or that will steal a vote.
And one of the top election officials in Georgia had people registering to vote in his house and were illegally voting in the 2020 election.
So, I mean, that's how a joke it was.
Well, just to refresh everybody's memory, because the Arizona signature match, even when they...
The expert who came in, it was the Democrats' expert who showed that it was like 10 times...
Was that in the 2020 challenge or was that in Carrie Lake's challenge?
There was two different ones.
What we found out in 2022 was their signature matches in the government of Arizona were kind of a joke.
Yeah, like that.
I forget what the thing was.
The woodpecker.
Just tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
Match, match, match.
They were doing it faster than the brain could process the information.
And in Georgia, they never did a, not even a proper, they never did a signature match.
What they did was recount the results and say, oh, we audited, we recounted the results, and we got the same number, but never a signature match.
They promised it all the way through the election.
I know, I was there on behalf of President Trump.
And as soon as they got people to go off on, and by the way, this was like, it was the only vindication about election 2020 was not the most fair.
I think we can put that myth to bed.
But we nailed that.
Nailed Trump winning.
Nailed Trump's winning margin.
Nailed where Trump was going to win.
He was going to sweep the electoral college states.
If you follow the picks we gave up over the last two years, you've quintupled your money at sports picks on the political bets alone after election night.
Some bad people...
I gave out Trump when he was 4-1.
You know, I mean, people forget how low he was.
But the other factor, you know, so it was rebutting the people who said everything was fine with the election, rebutting the people who were saying the polls were right and that, you know, there was nothing to doubt about this election, polls accuracy, in terms of what actually happened.
All the models, again, pretty much, all but one, I believe, picked Harris to win.
So, you know, Barris was one of the only pollsters, along with Rasmussen and Atlas, to say not we think it's going to be Trump.
Richard Barris said people's pundit daily.
But the other one is the...
But he was one of the only people, and I was the only one talking about Trump winning out of all the so-called models, experts, etc., before anybody else was.
So the...
But the other factor is, remember how much crap we put up with for two years of people who said that you couldn't have an honest election, that it wasn't possible, they would never let Trump get it, that Barnes is naive, you're living in a fantasy land?
I live and defend these cases every single day and have for a better part of a quarter century.
Naivete is not something you'll often hear me accused of in the legal context or political context.
It was a belief that the system fears you, the ordinary person.
And that's what the ordinary person constantly and continuously forgets.
They didn't do all this censorship because your opinion doesn't matter.
Robert, the question is that I've been having, first of all, and everybody's been asking it.
We'll get into why the hell they're still counting votes in 2024.
Can they go back and look at...
Hypothetically, the fraud or the constitutional violations that occurred in 2020 were, let's just say, ballot harvesting at old people's homes.
How would you even determine that by way of forensic audit four years down the line?
Is there anything anybody can do?
They want to audit 2024, do it, and do 2020 at the same time.
Yeah, you can do that a bunch of different ways.
The government can do it through its own internal procedures.
You could have the DOJ have a task force that uses green jury powers if need be.
But you could have an honest account of the 2020 election and the controversies related there too.
Which ones got resolved and didn't get resolved?
Congress has that power through its investigative power in support of new laws.
That's how the January 6th Committee existed.
You know, that was a real stretch of interpreting that law.
And the Justice Department can do a bunch of stuff.
Governors can do things in parallel, working together.
I mean, when you talk about Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, and here's the other people I've been dealing with.
People that were either first pushing back, saying I shouldn't be promoting Kennedy, that I shouldn't be promoting a Kennedy-Trump unity ticket, that I shouldn't be promoting J.D. Vance, that I was packing the wrong VP, and Viva and I didn't know what we were doing, and he was going to be such a terrible candidate.
I mean, literally, it's been every prediction, and we nailed it.
The other side has been dead wrong, and every side has been dead wrong.
Oh, they're going to steal it.
You have to doom.
And I've been saying for four years, no, you don't.
And guess what?
No, you didn't.
So that doesn't mean you don't stay awake or alert.
It just means don't be tempted by dooming.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing people he doesn't exist.
The greatest trick the system can pull is convincing you you cannot resist.
Donald Trump answered that question loud and clear for everybody.
You can impeach me, indict me.
Try to bankrupt me, even kill me.
And guess what?
Papa Dobie's sitting there shaking my hand on Monday in the White House, just like he was.
Robert, what we're going to do, I'm going to give everybody the link.
Start bringing your butts on over to Rumble.
What I'll do before we get there, so that I don't lose these commie tube super chats.
I'll just read a bunch now that I can see.
Not a band account says, Alice Jones must serve as press secretary.
That's a good one that we've seen.
J. Mill, who I remember from...
Back in the day, because you have a beautiful, it's either a Dolly Varden or a brown trout in your avatar.
Says, I remember when I first started watching you guys, y'all did phenomenal job helping everyone keep a healthy perspective after 2020.
Look at us now.
It's a different world now.
Brojo's 420 Cafe says, Trump, the only one to beat two women for presidency.
Eater's... That's going to be the next question that I have coming in as we go over to...
Come on over to Rumble, people.
Oscar Gonzalez, U.S. President Joe Biden, has given the green light for Ukraine to use long-range missiles supplied by the U.S. to strike Russia, which I believe will be deemed to be an act of war if Ukraine actually does it.
Sun Wukong says, Barnes, it's good to see you well and kicking.
God bless your health.
I'm praying for you.
Have a full recovery.
Scroll down a little bit more.
Okay, so I think I've got all of them.
And if I missed any, I apologize.
Robert, the question is this.
Okay, and maybe we'll ask it and then you'll field it on Rumble.
Why the hell are they still counting votes in California?
And the broader question is, it's a federal election.
I mean, if one state messes around and, you know, hypothetically can change everything, they're disenfranchising the entire country.
So how does one state get to enact state federal election procedure that could risk disenfranchising everybody out there?
And start answering.
I'm going to wait for the number to go under 5,000 on YouTube before I cut the feed.
And come over to Rumble.
The link is up there in the pinned comment.
What can the feds do to federalize this so that states like Pennsylvania is still counting, flipping seats, California is still counting, changing the popular vote so now they can say, oh, well, Trump got under 50% of the popular vote, so that means he doesn't have a mandate.
It's obvious fuckery.
And I apologize for the swear.
It's obvious fraud.
It's obvious.
The longer they count, the more they find 25,000 ballots that are 10 to 1 in favor of Kamala that are going to change the popular vote discrepancy.
What can be done to stop this?
Well, I mean, there's a range of things that legally could have been done, but the courts have cut them off at different angles.
So there's places where the courts won't get involved no matter what's happening.
There's circumstances where they say nobody can challenge even the...
Agency that's being armed can't challenge.
So they've come up with all these different procedural technical mechanisms to make it difficult to have a uniform election law in the United States.
Because you have elections for the presidency, that's governed by one set of laws.
Elections to Congress, governed by a different set of laws.
Where Congress, for example, has far more discretion to create a one-day rule, to create a whole bunch of things.
They have a little bit less discretion, actually substantially less discretion, in terms of presidential elections.
So you've got to set the rules, but it's only the legislature that can set the rules.
It can't be any other branch.
But that's for congressional elections.
You have presidential elections, one rule.
Congressional elections, another rule.
Now, the feds have no control over local and state offices.
But what tends to happen is the practicality and unaffordability of election offices trying to...
They're going to find, which one do we have to do?
And that's the one we'll do for all the elections.
That's the only power Congress really has, is saying, okay, if you don't do these things with election laws, we're going to provide no more money for your election offices.
And they all depend on this as their extra budget.
So that's the other way to induce them to have systemic reform.
But we need to return.
People shouldn't be misled because this election was not challenged.
That means, at least at the presidential level, that that means that our elections are clean.
They're not.
Still major problems.
People couldn't vote on election day.
Machines breaking down.
Having to sue to get in where they mistakenly told people they couldn't go in beforehand.
The questions with ballots being switched on computers.
A lot of these were manageable issues.
A lot of these were misunderstood issues.
But these problems are a lot less likely.
All you've got to do is fill out a paper ballot.
That's it.
Okay, now I feel bad because I cut the YouTube stream mid-answer so that...
Entice people to come on over.
We're going to get into a bunch of other stuff.
The question that people are nagging about in the chat, and it's sort of, I touched on in the intro, you're following what's going on in Russia.
We're going to get back to all of the election, Trump's picks, etc.
I guess this is sort of the segue.
Like, everybody thought Dark Brandon was a secret MAGA supporter, but now seems to be authorizing escalation, which could very well lead to an act that...
Any reasonable person would deem to be an act of war and might cause Russia to act accordingly as it relates to NATO.
What the hell's going on?
Apparently Biden, I don't know who gives the authorization, has authorized Zelensky to use weapons, arms provided by America or NATO to strike in Russia.
They're not going to go to Moscow, I don't think.
They might strike the Russian soldiers who amass over in Russia over the border to then do their incursions, which some people say, well, it may as well strike them there.
All that you're doing is just letting them amass and then enter and fight in the eastern provinces.
Does this lead to World War III, or does Putin exercise some discretion until there's an actual change of administration?
Well, I mean, as always, I recommend people follow the...
The Duran that I was on a couple of weeks ago, they do a good job of staying on top of all the foreign policy and where things are likely to trend, likely to go, and they can handle both sides getting a little too excited or under-excited, as the case may be.
And I think their initial takeaway is that Trump is trying to put things in motion, in parallel, but before he gets in there, to try to stop the deep state from escalating in a problematic way.
And to get a quick deal as soon as he's officially the President of the United States.
And I think he was willing to let Biden's people take the credit if it got done sooner.
I think it was part of that pitch.
I think there was more than just, hey, here's a tour of a building you were just in.
I think what he was down there for was behind the scenes seeing if Biden's people would be willing to push for peace either in the Middle East or in Europe in a way that Might be mutually beneficial to the world.
And I think he didn't get quite the positive result he probably wanted from Biden.
Because if you've looked at what they've done, they've tried to escalate everywhere.
Now, that might have been partially Pompeo's mistake.
But it's not a coincidence.
I was one of the only people saying this.
People tell him, oh, Bonnie, you understand he's going to have Pompeo right back in there right away.
Now Nikki Haley's going to be right back in there.
And I was like, neither one of them is ever going to be back in.
Let me pause you there just to...
I'll flex your big brain for you, but you had floated the idea that when Pompeo had made a reference about being the VP pick, that there might have been some subconscious or conscious understanding or plan that it would have been Nikki Haley who would have been the presidential candidate for whatever the reason, who then appoints Pompeo because Pompeo knew damn well Trump would never appoint him as VP pick.
So the idea would have been preposterous for Pompeo to float if he thought Trump was actually going to be the ratified nominee come convention time.
And what was the other...
Oh, never mind.
There was Pompeo talking about escalating things himself.
So, sorry, I just wanted to...
You had floated that idea and...
Thank you for your service, Haley and Pompeo, but I will not be offering you a position in my new administration.
Correct. So you look at who he's picking, when he's announcing them, all these picks have already been made.
So it's about timing them.
It's about timing them to see how Washington's going to try to counter.
And while all that's going on in terms of institutional reform, he is trying to get peace deals done globally in the two hottest spots.
He would like something with North Korea to happen fast as well.
But in both the middle, people are not...
People didn't pay as much attention to who else he was hanging out with that UFC fight.
Hold on, so it was the speaker guy?
What's his name?
The round glasses guy.
Someone who manages money, but specific money.
Okay, so there was Elon Musk, obviously.
There was Dana White.
There was Chris Pavlovsky in the elevator with...
The guy behind him was Pete Hegseth, I think, in the elevator.
Okay, who was it, Robert?
I don't know.
Someone that manages some of the top royals' funds in the world.
So why is Elon Trump hanging out at UFC with one of the key people that can get peace deals done anywhere in the Middle Eastern world because of whose money they manage?
Some of this is clearly speculation, but it's just there was...
Other people who like the Durand, other people who I follow, who would put out some of this speculation.
And they'll be hit or miss, but if it has an informed basis, be like, you know, this kind of makes sense.
I think Trump would really like a deal done either in Europe or the Middle East.
I think the Trump haters in the administration, for that very reason, are trying to escalate every way possible.
To preclude what they would perceive as a double loss.
A loss of the deep state and a huge Trump victory right out of the gate.
And they would like to somehow preclude Trump from having that success.
While at the same time, they're having to deal with...
Vivek and Elon are coming in.
Robert Kennedy is now coming in as Secretary of Health.
Tulsi Gabbard, Director of Intelligence.
Central location, truly.
Matt Gaetz at DOJ, he knew how this whole town would be a flame.
For people that don't know the background, Matt Gaetz is basically a Kennedy of the right.
Independent kid, independent family, independently, financially well-off.
Because of that, he doesn't need politics for a living.
He ran to actually make a difference.
What's going wrong?
Let's see if I can fix it.
Early on, he was very open and transparent.
It's like HBO where somebody did a freshman documentary.
He was one of the guys that they loved talking to the most because he was the most accessible.
Just honest, straightforward, no BS kind of guy.
And I saw him get increasingly red-pilled during the Trump era.
And because he's younger, he finds this less acceptable than some others do.
So he started becoming a big critic.
Started calling for the pardon.
Of Julian Assange.
The pardon of Edward Snowden.
Started raising questions about what the NSA and the CIA started to sound like Rand Paul or Ron Paul or others more so than was perceived as he would be.
They thought he'd just be a quiet conservative from North Florida.
Cash your check for life.
We'll take care of you.
You take care of us on the issues that really matter.
And instead, nothing they did could budge him.
And he became more and more critical.
Became critical of everything related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Was willing to defend and was willing to be critical of the attacks on Alex Jones.
Willing to defend the January Sixers early on, saying something's AWOL with these cases.
The rumor was that Gates was going to run for governor of Florida.
But before he could do that, he needed a statewide position.
He was going to probably run for attorney general.
Or the Department of Agriculture because of some unique positions it has.
All of a sudden, out of the blue, the FBI leaks an investigation going on in Matt Gaetz as to whether or not he is involved in any sort of inappropriate underage sex activity.
You just have to have enough adjectives.
You know most people quit listening at that point.
Oh, it's that?
Oh my goodness.
Now anybody knew Matt Gaetz?
Knew that story was absurd on its face.
Anybody who knew the system knew that's how much they were scared of Matt Gaetz.
So they leaked the story.
It does enough damage so that Gaetz decides not to run for anything statewide in this cycle.
All of a sudden, you never hear about that story again.
And why did you never hear about it?
Because the actual story was criminal conmen were trying to...
Embezzle and extort money from Matt Gaetz's elderly father.
And Matt Gaetz reported him on it because he knew what utter garbage the whole allegations were.
So everybody involved knew the allegations were ridiculous.
They were a cover story after the guy had been caught trying to embezzle and extort from Matt Gaetz's father.
But the victim somehow gets described, the perpetrator.
Remember, we discussed this at the time.
But very few people were paying full attention.
Trump announcing Matt Gaetz, he knew he was going to get all the attention this week because all the DOJ types.
The true Stassi believers, the secret intelligence believers, they love the Justice Department as their favorite department by far because they can threaten imprisonment.
So that's why they're paying.
Who is Trump going to put over at the Justice Department?
It's the guy who said if this doesn't get fixed in four years, all of them need to be gone.
Gone entirely.
And he's dead on accurate.
So when you're seeing this degree of incredible possibility of reform that is brighter than any I've seen in my entire lifetime, and I've been studying politics since I was near a grasshopper, it is an extraordinary time to be alive.
Robert, we're going to take a pause here.
I'm going to go read a bunch of crumble rants that I've seen over here because the next question is going to be...
What happens if they don't confirm?
And the recess option for Gates, Al, and a bunch of other stuff.
Paulie Mandy just came in under the buzzer.
Is James Comey going down?
If he goes down, how many others go with him?
Sign of Jonah says, thank you, King of Biltong.
We're going to get the King of Biltong right here.

We have dried fruit.
Superbuff Shaft, whose name always makes me laugh and always makes me say that.
I hate beating the same drum, but Jovan Pulitzer showed us all the rigs in his part in the Arizona State audit on Rumble.
It hurts to be three years of this info out, and people on our side can't even look.
I know that we've talked about this, but I'm going to screen grab that for a second.
How do we stop the cheat?
How did we stop the steal this time?
I think there was scrutiny, real-time surveillance.
And then we got UKIP is still going after Tommy Robinson while Farage attacks him and his supporters.
How the hell do people think Farage is the British Trump?
It's absolutely nuts.
Farage was warned about the Islamic grooming gangs, Sharia police illegally going around in the UK.
His response was to trough out members.
He tried to kill UKIP.
Does Robert got Camo Kamala hat going on?
Be advised Nigel Farage is a fraud.
Okay, we're going down to Levitt Sr.
Welcome back, Bobby.
SoundCloud, song there.
Randy Edward was actually relieved when I heard Gates was feeling upset.
Okay, I got that one too.
And then Vivo, you're looking to get in the...
Okay, we got that.
All right.
Bring this back up here.
So, look, as a schnook, I understand that they got to go through Senate approval.
And if they don't, get it.
The risk is going to be, what's the risk that RFK Jr. doesn't get Senate approval?
What's the margin in the House or the Senate?
What can they do?
If they don't, what is the recess option that they're talking about and your prediction, if you have?
So, they can definitely appoint by recess.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
That's why Congress is in recess.
It's essentially the president can appoint.
What happens if the president appoints?
But Congress is not actually in session.
So typically, you would wait for Congress to be in session, and then they would approve.
But kind of like pocket vetoes and things like that, the eight way to do it is you simply don't wait for their approval and say the person's been approved.
There's different legal issues with it.
One of the best lawyers in the country is researching this precise topic.
And I think we'll have a very good article up on that very, very soon.
And as soon as that's up and posted, I'll be sharing it around.
So there's good, strong...
My opinion from reviewing his article is that we are in very good standing using the recess of power to appoint people, especially given how Democrats have utilized it over the last decade.
So what are the preconditions to calling a recess?
Does it have to be bipartisan or who gets to call a Senate recess?
That depends by the rules of each individual House chamber.
Okay. Which, by the way, we're going back to elections.
The House judges its own elections.
So if they don't like an election to the House, they can technically not seat someone on the grounds that they determined the person didn't actually win.
They didn't talk about this a lot in 2020.
The Senate similarly determines its own elections.
Now where it gets tricky is if the courts think you're just trying to circumvent the election.
So it's one of the issues that if you go into sort of a legal quagmire, law school exam kind of question, actually issues dealing with elections is one of the best.
Because, okay, if it's here, it goes to the House.
If it's here, then it goes to the Senate.
If it's here, well, then it goes to this rule.
If it's here, then it actually goes over to this rule every year.
So, like, who decides, how they decide, what they decide, can all change based on the facts.
Okay, so Senate approval is a simple majority, 51, and if there's a split, J.D. Vance, VP, gets to do the vote, the tie-breaking split.
To call a recess...
Okay, I don't know if it requires a majority or whatever.
I think the Speaker of the House can do that on his own accord.
To call a recess and then what?
Government's Senate is shut down?
Yeah. All right, very cool.
And then the question is this.
It's going to be much more aggressive.
A lot of people have been, like people would often ask, what's the strategy?
Who's going to be here?
And I always wanted to say, why would it be in any of our best interests for the world to know what the plan is now?
You want to put some generic.
I hate categories so people can be confident in what they're voting in.
But otherwise, I never understood.
Everybody was like, performance layout is what the map is.
Why do we want that public?
We don't want that public.
They made their map public in 2020 when they did their little testing of an election all the way through an election contest, by the way, that road mapped out certain things that ended up happening just by extraordinary coincidence in 2020.
So a lot of those kind of...
Shenanigans took place.
So even if they try to block, I don't think it'll be successful.
Also, it's clear that Thune and others, nobody in the Republican Senate or House leadership is well-liked in America.
Even Mike Johnson, and he's more liked than the norm.
None of them really like him.
By the way, they know that, right?
Also, these guys don't have Jews.
Don't have juice.
Juice, not Jews.
Exactly. That's a problem, too.
They don't got enough Jews.
I was going to make a joke.
No one's ever complained about that, Robert.
Okay, sorry.
Too soon.
Exactly, exactly.
Time plus tragedy equals time.
And only Woody Allen actually wasn't mine.
Sorry, sorry.
Continue. Oh, what were you saying?
I think you were asking me something.
It was this...
Okay, hold on.
The Senate...
Thune. Thune.
Okay, so...
Oh, I was just going to point out, neither one of these people have political juice.
So if we're thinking about Mitch, which now everybody will be like, oh, so juice really means juice.
So when they say that person has the juice, they're like, oh, okay.
They're all the stereotypes.
But you think about it, we have to talk about people like O'Connell.
Graham, what he was facing in 2016 when Trump came in.
You had entrenched members of the House and the Senate with national stage reputations, with deeply built-in entrenched networks.
Thune is not that guy.
He's not at the same scale.
Nor is Mike Johnson.
Trump just got back in against all the odds.
The Trumper is waiting for the Mike Johnsons of the world to betray them.
That's why it was smart of Trump to be like, you guys are going to just go with everybody here.
It'll be interesting to see where he does timing in terms of where he presents them.
You might say, this doesn't get done unless this other thing over here gets done.
He's sending out also the message.
My bigger concern was that they would get too worried about Any perceived backlash to a narrative of, oh, Trump seeking revenge.
And in my view, it's like these people deeply fear ever-facing consequences for what they do.
They fear what they tried to do to Trump.
That's why they did it to Trump.
They fear bankruptcy.
They fear public shaming.
They fear being outed for the perverts and deviants that they really are.
These things are there that they confess them if you pay attention.
So they're not the kind of people that...
And so I was glad when I saw...
The other thing that circulated this past week was that generals are being looked at for which ones have engaged in seditious conduct over the past eight years.
Now all this stuff has gone public.
So that might do...
You look like a small little news story if you're out there, Joe Blow.
The people who are paying great attention, the kind of people who are used to blocking appointments, just got put on notice, keep playing games like this, and it's going to be a whole different world.
So now, if you're the Peter Stroke type over at the Justice Department, because just getting rid of him didn't get rid of his type that dominates over at the seventh floor, he's got to sit there and say, how much do I want to gamble that I get lucky like Stroke got?
Or I get real unlucky.
And what happens if I start to buy into it?
Like, I had a case where someone believed that my client had all these crazy voodoo connections and could do all kinds of crazy stuff.
And then we figured out at a certain point, you know, there may be some utility to that.
Like, I once accidentally boosted that in that case.
Because even the prosecutor was edgy about my client.
It was like something out of, you know, to live and let live the James Bond film.
But basically, so I came in and I didn't realize that there was a bee inside my suit check.
He did.
But he doesn't realize I'm part of the spectrum.
So he didn't understand.
I was just sitting there doing my thing.
I was in my pitch mode with my client.
And he was just freaking out the whole time.
Staring up the way the bee was going around and seemed to be aiming for him.
And he just got up at the end and said, I gotta go.
I gotta do something else.
I found out later he thought that I brought the bee in to intimidate him.
Apparently my client had some sort of supposed reputation for this or that.
I was like, I had no idea.
It had nothing to do with any of it.
But that's why if you're Trump, he's learned a lot.
He came in right away.
Here's the people you want me to never.
Say yes to?
I'm saying yes to them right out of the gate.
So don't waste your time unless you want to go to war right away.
Second, all you guys thinking about waging war in the deepest powers, and notice where he started.
He didn't start at the very bottom.
Your mid-level analyst hanging out pretending to be Jack Ryan over Langley.
And where does he start?
I was curious about where he was going to start.
Former lawyers, all these other people.
No. Generals.
He goes to the very top of military brass.
Says reviews of these top military brass officials for lack of patriotism to this country.
Those are the kind of guys that are used to smoking cigars over Kennedy's autopsy body.
They're not used to being put on a little note.
Everybody's going to be looking at the heresy trial of the century.
The sedition trial of the century.
Or do you just want to maybe retire a little early and let Trump do what he needs to get done?
Everybody in town who refuses to let Trump get done what he needs to get done runs the risk that they're made that unique example, that they are the Benedict Arnold of American life and will be made to look as such for the whole world.
I know people that have every reason to be nervous and should be for all the crimes they've been doing and getting away with include Bill Gates.
Include George Soros.
Include Anthony Fauci.
Those people are going to pick somebody big on the public health side so this doesn't happen again.
And they're going to pick somebody big on the general side so this doesn't happen again.
Can they pick someone big on the political side like a Schiff or a Nadler or a Goldman or that's too hard because of government immunity?
Mostly immune.
Unless they...
That's what I've been proposing for years, since the Covington Kids Bill, was change the Westfall Act so that politicians are only immune if the Constitution says they're immune.
If the Constitution doesn't say they're immune, then they ain't immune.
They don't get special rights for being a politician.
The Fauci is going to prohibit from your mouth, tropical rocket, to God's ears.
I think there has to be somebody facing consequences.
And they're already putting out the word that if people muck around, Over the next three months that that will happen.
He's also sending word out, if you look at it, everything, there's a more common correlation with who he's meeting, certain announcements that take place, with him trying to get not only no escalation, but I think he would like things set in place for peace in both the Middle East and Europe very fast.
Because he knows those hot spots are the deep state's favorite play toys.
Before I forget, actually, I wanted to ask you earlier, he goes and he meets Biden.
Biden looks happier than a pig in fecal matter.
And then this announcement comes out.
Are we safe to conclude that Biden is absolutely not in charge of anything and that the people pulling these strings right now are the deep state apparatus and Biden might have some sort of an interest in, I don't know, what he could do to shatter the plans?
There's definitely things he could do.
I don't think Trump got full assurances that he could or would do those things.
Based on what happened later, because I took it as a little bit people escalating in the back.
Right? They were trying to, the latest thing on Gates was, he only nominated Gates because he knows that Gates will never get appointed and he can use that to rally to base and go with other people.
And so they were convincing themselves they would not face consequence, really.
And it was within an hour, two hours of that, counter story puts out, Trump has a list of generals he once looked at for criminal investigation based on what they have disclosed they did.
I mean, they brought us as close to World War III as anybody.
I mean, the two groups of people almost killed the planet were our top generals in the military and our top generals in the health system.
And so that's where Matt Gaetz at DOJ and Robert Kennedy, Department of Health.
And I think, by the way, the reason for that...
On that one, I think that was still alive.
It was, they also thought they knew no matter what, at some point, they would come after him.
But if they didn't know he'd be put up for a committee, that he'd be for a high position, then they might not raise it as much of an issue.
They might lose some momentum.
So I think the goal was always to appoint him to a cabinet position because once, here's another thing people don't always recognize.
Once you're appointed, you can be flipped.
What you're being appointed for is not that position.
Technically, you're being approved to be in the cabinet of President Trump or the president at his designation.
So, for example, if Robert Kennedy passes any process of appointment to a cabinet position, he can then be moved to another position.
So that's something to keep in mind with the other people that they are going to be bringing through.
But it's clearly a coordinated plan to try to truly defang the two worst parts of the deep state, which is the war mindset, war conflict, foreign-wise, and the lawfare domestically.
I mean, look at that.
I mean, you lose in part because of your war on crypto and financial freedom.
And the way you show the world your reaction to the election night is to indict the polymarket CEO for, I mean, let's be honest, all he really did was make an election market available a little bit earlier than the federal court said it should have always been available.
That's all I know of, the guy did.
And, you know, at some point, people wondered why he made a big deal.
About Bitcoin Jesus?
Mm-hmm.
I keep mispronouncing his name.
I think it's Roger Ver.
It's either Ver or Ver.
I get all the names mispronounced.
So if you're out there, you know I'm sorry.
I mispronounce everything.
But because they're all part of the same pattern.
You dig into these cases.
And whether you're looking at Ross Ulrich, whether you're looking at Julian Assange, whether you're looking at Ed Snowden, whether you're looking at...
The Bitcoin Jesus, whether you're looking at this latest polymarket case, all these people are people that don't have bad reputations in the industry.
By the way, crypto, plenty of bad people with bad reputations in the industry.
They're people who are generally considered sort of the white knight, and hence Bitcoin Jesus.
It's like, why are we trying to put him in prison for 20 plus years or whatever number it is now?
And then they go after the Bitcoin guy, the Polymarket guy, right after Election Day, because he didn't keep the narrative up that Harris was just going to sweep because the country couldn't help the hell in love with whoever they were.
Robert, I'm trying to figure it out.
It will segue into this and have a little parenthesis.
This is, I forget his name now, the CEO of Polymarket, a young dude, an innocent guy.
A few days after the election, gets raided, has his phone seized, his computer seized, no charges that anybody knows of.
They come in, take his stuff, and leave.
And I'm trying to watch, like, I've been watching other people who are more into the betting market sphere, the crypto sphere, and people are hypothesizing that, A, he hasn't been charged with anything yet, so we don't even know what the hell they're looking for, who authorized this.
Does that sound familiar?
Yeah. I mean, it just happened in France.
Oh, with freaking Telegram.
Some people are hypothesizing that there was chicanery going on with Polymarket, that there weren't buyers for the sellers or sellers for the buyers, and that it was, in fact, market manipulation, although the guy gave a pretty decent answer as to even if there were people pouring money in to manipulate the market, other people would jump on that money to make money.
So there have been no charges, no nothing that we know of yet, and they go ahead and do this.
Now, everybody says, hold off and wait.
Until they give their explanation.
But no, a week after the election raiding Polymarket in New York, no less, take your stuff and get the hell out of New York.
They better have their answer and explanation ready.
Not tell us to wait.
Trust us when we know that you are fundamentally thoroughly corrupt.
And they've gone after everybody like this.
And they went after the prediction markets, like Kalshi, like Polymarket, like Predicted, because they want to control the narrative.
And they're so obsessed about controlling the narrative, they'd spend billions and billions of dollars to prohibit you from seeing a meme, then they would do other things that you would think would be a lot more productive and efficient.
And they're just sort of locked into this.
And clearly, I think part of what Trump needs, one is policy, one and two is personnel.
Personnel often is policy, as Pat Buchanan would say repeatedly.
He said Nixon kept forgetting that, in his opinion, and trying to placate too many crowds with the choices he made when it came to personnel.
But the other component there is, how do you use it in such a way to really, like to an earlier question, so this isn't a problem 20 years from now, 30 years from now, 40 years from now, that there has to be some high-profile examples for that to happen, but on both sides.
So you need some high-profile...
Use of the criminal justice system, civil justice system, to get some relief for the vaccine injured, to get some relief from those who were harmed by all the bad COVID policies.
And, you know, people like Bill Gates and everybody harmed related to immigration, this mass illegal immigration.
The same names are involved.
Bill Gates, George Soros.
Connected either which way.
You go.
So I think there has to be, and then Anthony Fauci, you know, the healthcare side.
Somebody that people say to themselves, oh, I don't want to be that guy.
And these are people that are motivated by that because they're sociopaths, but not full narcissists.
So they don't fully, you know, they don't think they're the greatest exactly.
They're worried a little bit.
A little bit of, I'm Pat and people like me, gosh darn it.
Mixed in with the sociopath and the rest.
So it's where, you know, Social behavior and educational conditioning can, in fact, have some resonance.
But that's where you need a coherent, comprehensive strategy, both in terms of who you're picking, when you pick them, how you announce it, while you're coordinating the peace deals to buy you some leeway and some room on the backside.
The goal is for these people to make the full institutional reforms.
And the only way that happens is if you create things like a lawfare committee.
Create like a pardon committee.
Create a committee that highlights both sides.
Say, here's these, I know plenty of lawyers, happy to do so.
Because we all know somebody.
Maybe it's a small case, maybe it's a big case.
But we all know in some case that, man, that was, you know, if I could ever help that, I would go back in.
You know, your innocent man type project.
Start to highlight those because they show people you can use the right cases.
Say, here's what went wrong.
Here's how this could be a teaching lesson.
Here's how there can be certain kinds of consequences so people enforce those lessons.
And tell those through real human stories.
Humanize the Ross Ulbrichts of the world.
If it could work for Ulbricht, and that was the Silk Road guy, that means that the court of public opinion is open to questioning whether the government is harassing people for politically prejudiced reasons.
I got the crazy case in Seattle where a guy ended up jailed, denied access to his son, because he objected to a mask at a grocery store.
I mean, that's nuts.
And we can't ever forget our dear departed beloved, the great squirrel.
I mean, these are squirrel murderers.
So for the squirrels, for the cats.
For the dogs.
And the raccoons.
Don't forget the raccoons.
We don't forget the raccoons over here.
Then Trump's win is necessary and reform equally necessary.
Something I haven't done in a while.
Highlight Rumble Studio.
Let me do this and I have another question about Thune and then some other stuff.
I want to highlight the Rumble Studio again and it's quite on point.
The Kids Guide by...
Mark. Mark.
Huckabee. That's my problem.
Now that we're past the point of Trump's historic victory, I need to ask all the parents out there to listen up.
Now that President Trump is heading back to the White House, he said he wants to teach our kids to love our country again.
And the best place for them to start is to learn all about President Trump and his vision for America in his second term.
That's why Mike Huckabee's team put together The Kid's Guide to President Trump and to celebrate President Trump's victory.
They're giving it away for free with fun illustrations and easy-to-follow content.
This important guide teaches kids all about President Trump's accomplishments during his first term and what looks like it's going to be massive, massive touchwood, a success during his second term, and it helps kids understand his goals for the second term.
Mike Huckabee wants to send this to you and your family for free so that you can start to teach your kids the truth.
Please hurry because supplies are limited to claim your free kid's guide.
Go to President Trump right now.
It's at Kids Trump Guide.
That is kidstrumpguide.com.
And scan the thing there, the little QR code, and you'll get to Mike Huckabee's, what is it called?
Like a project of life that will last beyond the second term.
What were you going to say?
I was going to ask what the referendums we covered last week.
Like in Florida, I think they had to get at least 60%.
Some other states, just the majority.
How did some of those turn out?
The abortion one did not pass.
Not yet over 60%.
They didn't deserve that either.
That's what we talked about.
I'm glad they lost it because that's a big state, Florida.
I think that's the first time they haven't hit their necessary threshold in an abortion referendum.
Hold on.
Abortion Amendment, Florida.
What's that?
Let's see.
Florida Amendment 4 results.
What is it?
It fails.
Okay. The amendment to expand abortion fails, and I think the marijuana one also failed, which I thought was...
Hold on.
Marijuana Florida amendment.
I know that it didn't pass because I didn't hear it.
Florida voters reject ballot legalizing recreational marijuana use.
So you don't get to smoke weed and have...
I won't say that.
It might be too crass.
The amazing thing there is that was just because the pro-choice community got arrogant.
That they thought they could...
Overplayed their hands.
Absolutely. Bulldoze people into believing that, look, all we want is what you want.
And they know from the polling data, the ordinary person, pretty much anywhere in the world, on average, there's exceptions, of course, but on average, favors allowing abortion prior to the first term being over.
And that's basically where they mostly settle.
Usually, like, week 12, week 15, somewhere in that neighborhood.
Florida moved it up to six weeks.
That's not a popular position, so they created some risk by doing that.
But the state said, oh, we'll use this as our chance, not to reinstate the old rule, but instead make it look like it's just a self-defense provision, that it's allowable until the viability and then post-viability only.
It's basically self-defense.
But in fact, the word health is so broad, as even I covered here, it meant if you're having a bad hair day, you could go and kill up until the baby's coming in, literally.
So in my view, good.
Good on the voters for seeing through some bad trickery by some political groups.
To try to get them to approve something different than what they actually want to approve.
I'm going to go see what the results actually were.
A question I forgot to ask you, and then in a second I'll get to read some of the rumble rants, and then we're certainly going to get to the locals' tipped questions.
Thune. Okay, so I probably should have waited for you to get your advice before dabbing my toe into Kalshi, because I was like, okay, the populist movement is going to result in Rick Scott getting the appointment, and Thune got the secret vote.
Oh, you know what?
You missed there.
Always know your audience, KYA.
The audience was not the American people.
The audience were other senators.
I realize now Trump doesn't pick the speaker.
It's the senators who did it or whoever did it in a secret ballot so that the world, the people, don't even get to see the vote.
But what is the risk of Thune as majority leader is the term?
Is it a clerical position or does he actually have meaningful substantive power?
Oh no, you have meaningful power.
Okay. It's more that it's representative.
In other words, how many Republican senators are going to defend Trump?
This is why they were hoping to win Ohio, or hold Montana, or steal one somewhere.
Because they know they got, what's her name in Alaska, who's happy to vote Democrat and hates Trump.
Who's only there because her daddy was a senator.
Ironically, you know, victimized by...
Overzealous government prosecutors.
Murkowski. Yes, correct.
So if they would have got right at 51, 52, it would have been a little bit tougher.
Because all of a sudden they can walk away.
So they're planning those kind of things in the background.
But Trump's fully aware of it.
So it's figuring out which battle to wage at which scale.
And I think the one he's most focused on currently is trying to get...
A big peace deal early in 2025.
He wants something that shakes up the whole world to news stories.
Yeah, shake it up for the good.
It's like the white pill October surprise in November or December.
I know people are asking, and I watch Bongino, and he's fantastic, and there's no but.
I think you might not disagree, but Rubio.
So people are disappointed with Rubio.
Some see him as a war hawk or a war whore.
I should not be discriminatory in who I call a war whore just because they might be Republican.
I don't think he's that bad.
I think he's showed his deep loyalty to Trump over the last year plus, and that's what Trump is looking for right now.
Do you freak out over Rubio?
Do you get angry, or is it neither here nor there?
No, about as expected.
It told me something different than everybody else.
So there's definitely going to be establishment people interspersed here, because there have been a lot of discussions behind the scenes.
This person, okay, then I'm okay with this person or this person here, as long as these people are in the key positions.
Which is Gates, Attorney General Gabbard, National Intelligence.
They won't be able to block Radcliffe either, though a lot of them hate him up there, because he's exposed him repeatedly.
But he'll get the CIA.
They'll make a big deal about Hexeth's lack of experience?
Lack of professional experience.
That told me Trump understands the military is the problem.
If you notice that, how he was organizing.
It was like doing a chess move surrounding people.
He was surrounding where?
It told me he thought about this quite a bit.
So the plan is just getting executed day after day.
But the machine will do whatever it can between now and then.
But if I were Jack Smith, I wouldn't be inside the continental United States on Inauguration Day.
Question this is for me.
The question for you, Robert, is the markets, the way Calci defines it, is that if he's confirmed by the Senate, yada, yada, yada, By December 31st, 2026.
First of all, why is that?
We're going to be in December.
We're in December 2024.
So why two years?
And what is the time frame for the confirmation of these appointments?
You know, that depends on the Senate.
And also the House.
So they could do it with the recess format, see how much objection there is, or try it regularly.
With hearings.
Now, that's their next trap, though.
Trump's been through this now.
They still don't get it.
They don't understand Trump.
They don't get him, where he comes from, ways motivated by.
They're just baffled.
That makes you weak in terms of a strategic or tactical opponent.
If I know my opponent has no idea how to read me, I can just figure out ways to jerk them around all the time.
They don't know how to read Robert Kennedy.
They don't know how to read Tulsi Gabbard.
All of them just baffled them.
Why would that happen?
How could this be?
How can it not go this way?
That tells you how bad the town has been now.
Now things are coming together in a clearer, cleaner way in a certain sense.
When Trump was like, you've got to fire people.
The problem with Biden is he doesn't fire anybody.
The problem I even had the first time around, I decided who I didn't fire, not who I did fire.
He's getting that.
I knew that was already on the legal side because people were really buttressing up the people's executive.
My populist theory of the executive branch is that he's the personification, he's the boss, and he has to fire whomever he wants, whenever he wants, within the executive branch.
But he has people really focused on that.
So he's combining all of it, looking at it from this holistic picture of this whole war board.
That he has planned out in ways nobody on the other side knows what's going to hit him at all.
They have no clue.
Robert, let me bring this up here.
Hold on a second.
A couple of questions.
Barnes sounds tired.
Hopefully he's getting rested.
You'd be tired.
That's an understatement.
I was basically in the hospital non-stop the last two weeks.
Anybody who's ever had an experience like that knows.
Lots of pain and agony.
No, and you don't sleep the food.
Well, it's funny, one of the doctors, it's like, all these things combining at the same time, do you have the odds of this?
Does anybody want to poison you?
I was like, that's a long list, man.
Robert, and you say it, and now you're going to feed a number, I won't call them conspiracy theories, concerns of the community.
You can't ever worry about that at all.
I'll often get that.
When people see a news story, they'll be like, does that make you want to reconsider it?
That's the problem.
If only one person reconsiders, it gives power to them.
Always. You can never be phased by it.
Never can be worried about, you know, what if this happens?
Any life has risks.
Well, check your body for radon.
Bobby Kennedy's risk.
But what did he say?
He said, there's worse things than death.
I was like, oh, I thought that's one of my favorite answers.
Because it was always Megger Evers.
Well, I mean, that has to be one of the best, most badass statements of all time.
At least it looked that way when I was seven years old watching it on TV.
But here you got the guy in the black and white era back then.
Medgravers. Civil rights hero.
Lives by himself with his wife.
Out on the roads.
Anybody can go right up and shoot him in his house.
And he broadcasts that to the world.
And ultimately was killed in that way.
And yet he was never fazed.
Why? Because he sent a louder message with the way he chose to live his life than they could ever send by trying to take it away.
They empowered him in the process, not themselves.
So, you know, whenever you run into any kind of issue, you can't worry.
That's what the Trump message is.
If you say, I don't care if you try to bankrupt me.
I don't care if you try to imprison me.
I don't care if you try to remove me from office.
I don't care if you try to block me from ever running for office.
I don't care if you even try to kill me.
I'm not changing.
I'm going to be the same person.
I'm going to fight for the same goals.
That the more they came after him, the more determined he was that he must be right in what he's doing.
And he is right in what he's doing.
But it's a lesson there.
The greatest power is the system's bluff.
Because they can't go out and bankrupt everybody.
Or then they don't even have any system to live on to begin with themselves.
Robert, someone in the chat is rightly noticing.
You've done nothing to dispel the myth that you might have been poisoned.
You haven't been poisoned, although if they test your hair...
I was definitely poisoned.
There's no reason to believe him when he did it deliberately.
And if they test your hair...
It was a bad interaction of things.
And if they test your hair, I'm sure it's going to come up positive for cocaine.
Bada bing, bada boom.
Ah, yes, exactly.
They'll say, I knew it.
That's why Barnes lives in Vegas.
Robert L. E. Fitz says, how do we discipline the rogue judges and bring them back into line with the norm of justice?
We need that too.
Absolutely. There has to be certain four or five cases taken.
Jillian Sweeney says, sorry, I skipped one here.
North Dakota Doug Burgum for Secretary of Interior is a suboptimal plan.
He is tight with his largest donor, Bill Gates, does not respect private property rights, supports carbon capture pipeline, a no-go.
Jillian Sweeney says, what do we say to friends who are worried RFK will negatively impact farmers?
He helps farmers.
That's people who think of Kennedy as a 19, who never understood his environmentalism.
His clients are all farmers and fishermen.
It's because people think of environmental that has been so hijacked by the...
How does Kenny call it?
He makes it sound like carbon as a god.
It's gotten so nuts, so disconnected from the whole world that people don't understand what environmental is supposed to be.
Make sure our water is clean, our air is clean, and that we have good foods that help us live happy.
Healthy, long lives.
So he'd be the best friend a farmer could ever have.
Amish love Amos Miller.
He is very, I mean, Amish like Amos Miller, love Robert Kennedy because of how much, if I go anywhere in the Amish community or the small farm community, their eyes light up when you start talking about Robert Kennedy.
So he's seen as a big ally.
Now, not to big agriculture that is poisoning our food supply.
Uh-oh.
Am I frozen?
I think Robert just froze.
No, I'm right here.
Okay. Sorry, it actually went frozen for one second here.
Let me see this here.
Robert, do you still think the military tribunals are off the table, says Shofar?
I've never been a fan of military tribunals.
Okay, let me get this.
We're going to get to all of the tipped questions, or the ones on Locals.
Okay, I think we're going to...
Okay, so hold on.
Let me think if I've forgotten anything that we wanted to absolutely discuss.
Okay, we got the picks.
We covered the war with the Ukraine.
We've covered...
Oh, my goodness!
The lady, Ann Seltzer.
Ann Seltzer, retiring, Robert.
I don't know that we ever got...
We talked about that poll, the Iowa poll, before the election.
Was that a payoff, a buyout, an investment?
Now she's retiring from the Iowa poll.
I'm sure you've heard the story.
Do you have any unique insights into what you think actually went down there?
So she was an older, democratically oriented university female professor, journalist.
So that would tell you where politics probably is.
In 2004, she started out wanting to be accurate.
In 2004, she said John Kerry was going to win the state easily.
He lost.
So that was her four-way.
But the media, but she had the right answer.
The media liked John Kerry winning before Election Day being broadcast throughout the farm country.
So there was no consequences adverse to her.
2008, her whole reputation comes about because of the Democratic caucuses.
It's not due to general election success.
She's been very up and down in that area.
She once again does a horrible job with the Republican caucuses, which she's never managed to poll accurately.
She gets the Democratic caucuses very right about how Barack Obama could overtake Hillary Clinton.
That's what got her the voodoo reputation.
Wow, look, she called it.
Obama was taking the lead.
It's really going to happen.
I had a bet on it from long before she ever even thought about it.
It didn't require that level of genius, I don't think, but it is what it is.
Bill Clinton to this day, by the way, does he think that they had a 2020 honest, I mean, a 2008 honest Democratic primary process?
He should ask Hillary that question.
He still thinks no on that one, too.
Obama stole it before the Ruskies did, apparently.
So, but then, so do you flash forward?
Her last poll before Election Day.
Tends to be within a point or two in Iowa.
So that's where she starts getting this reputation of being this great pollster.
Even though her caucus polls would continue to be wrong.
Even though her off-year polls would continue to be wrong.
Even though her polls outside of the election window sees it will be often badly wrong.
So you could get a sense that this was not someone actually very good at their job.
So you contrast that to someone like Richard Barris.
People's pundit daily.
I came across him in 2016 because in planning on betting on the American presidential election, there's people who called me up a couple of weeks ago asking about that, by the way, in the British press.
Could he come back over again?
Maybe I should have stopped by and made all you guys buy drinks for me again.
But the...
Oh, where was I?
Richard Barris, the woman there.
Oh, jeez.
Ann Seltzer.
Ann Seltzer, yes.
So, Ann Seltzer.
That's right.
That's where I was.
The interesting thing, you can be on any set of pain medications and still remember Ann Seltzer.
She got the reputation for the voodoo lady.
Yeah, exactly.
So, it's 2012.
It says Obama's going to hold on there.
He does.
Like, oh wow, Ann Seltzer nailed Iowa again.
Her other polls during the year did not.
So there was no sign of being a great bolster.
2016, she gets the caucuses right on the Democratic side.
Bernie Sanders can shock Hillary.
Gets the Republican caucuses way wrong.
But right before Election Day, says Trump's going to carry it with ease.
So builds up her reputation in Iowa and nationwide.
Since 2020, she has Trump losing it earlier in the year.
And then she has Trump winning it late, again, to restore credibility.
The key here is, how do you get paid in this business?
You should be getting paid based on your skill.
And the skill of polling is that I'm going to talk to 1,000 people.
And from talking to just 1,000 people, I'm going to tell you the opinions and the actual likely voting of 160 million people.
That's why some people, like Trump hinted at with Rogan, are skeptical that polling is even legit.
Like, how do you get to know everybody's opinion by just talking to a few people?
If you're embarrassed, you obsess over it.
That's why you're a data nerd.
You're a data nerd with a military background.
So it's a unique kind of background.
So it's like watching SEAL Team come in on one of those TV shows, that kind of thing.
So if you've studied it obsessively, you could figure out that there truly is a way, by talking to one person, you can know the likely opinions of 10,000 people that relate to that one person in some key trait.
And so that's how...
Richard Barris becomes obsessed with it.
And he figures out different modes.
And then he figures out how people could cheat with different modes.
Because there's answering a phone call as a poll.
There's answering an email.
There's answering a text message.
There's answering a direct message in some sort of app program.
All different ways to become part of a poll.
Are you part of that poll group continuously?
Do you get screened in or screened out with realistic data?
Do you make sure that one person doesn't disguise themselves and share it with other people and end up taking 80% of your poll is really one guy and his buddies?
Right? So if you're really detailed at all that kind of, I call it the art and the science of polling, then you can avoid what Ann Seltzer did.
But I had long suspected that she was more phony.
She's the person who takes the bribe at the end.
She's not really that principled.
I said, as soon as I saw the result, I thought, that's so laughably bad.
That means she knows she's not coming bad because he built a reputation on being so close to right.
Someone had paid her off in advance, drop a poll that shows Trump's going to lose out.
In exchange, you've got all these other things taken care of for you.
Right now, AOC is running around talking about The policy debate happening in the Democratic Party.
If you look beneath the surface, she's not complaining about the debate on policy.
She's complaining about who's going to administer all those funds to help make sure everybody's on board with the right policies.
It's all about the funds.
They want to control the party funds, the NGO funds, the think tank funds, the organizational funds, their spinoff gigs.
That's what's going on with a lot of these people.
And that's why you're going to continue to see certain anomalies occur.
I'm going to go look through some...
If I can get...
The FEC filings have to disclose these payments, if any.
So I'm going to keep looking.
Don't be surprised if you have a big...
Think about some big people coming up.
Who could trump a name that would be perfect?
The next big, to me, the next big perfect appointment is...
To be Secretary of the Department of Agriculture.
Thomas Massey.
Congressman Thomas Massey.
Robert, let's go over to Locals, and we're going to do the after party there.
And we're not having a marathon tonight, people, but people need to see Proof of Life and tell you to stay away from umbrellas.
And by the way, just a few more.
They say, welcome back, Robert, is Ebith the GG.
We got Sean Joe says, get well, Robert.
You are much needed.
And now, what we're going to do, people, get your butts on over to locals if you're going to come.
If not, I will see you tomorrow.
Robert, you're going to rest up, but I know you'll want to get back to...
You can't prevent...
There are certain people on Earth who need to work, who want to work because it's not work, it's purpose, it's life.
It's really just getting your brain in a position where it can function for more than like an hour a day.
So that's just getting rid of the source of the pain, which...
Well, once that's taken care of, then we all agree.
Okay. We're going over to locals, people.
We're going to do some of the...
All of them are going to read through these.
I know a lot of them are well-wishers, so it's going to go fast.
Everybody, so tomorrow...
Tomorrow, I got Jessica Rose coming on at 1230, and then Mocha Busy Grand coming on.
It's going to be the same show, so Tuesday.
Ed Dowd is coming on Wednesday afternoon.
We're going to talk about some of his bombshell stuff that he's looking into right now.
Tuesday, I forget what's going on.
Wednesday, there's going to be a 100th episode of The Unusual Suspect.
So check it out.
But come over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
Now we're going to have the after party there.
We're going to have an intimate fireside chat with everybody there.
