it.
Yesterday, the CDC put out guidelines.
If you are fully vaccinated, then it is safe to go outside, to go hiking, biking, to enjoy outdoor dining, to be around other people who are unvaccinated without a mask.
Now, that is if you are fully vaccinated.
If you are not vaccinated, you still have to take precautions around other people.
Now, both vaccinated and unvaccinated groups have to still wear a mask in large public areas where it's crowded, like concerts and stadiums.
And then when it comes to children, You know, we've got a lot of data that tells us children under the age of 10 are low risk for transmission of COVID.
So we really need to keep that in mind, especially with the summer coming up with summer camps.
CDC is still recommending that the young ones wear their masks when they are around others, stay in cohorts with camping.
And the only times that they can remove their masks is obviously if they're sleeping, if they're swimming, if they're eating, and they still have to maintain that.
Social distancing as well.
And I think part of that reasoning is because of the crowded areas with the campgrounds and also kids can't yet be vaccinated.
So right now it's 16 and older that we can vaccinate with Pfizer, for example, but we're still undergoing trials for the younger children to be vaccinated with Moderna, with Pfizer.
So we're still waiting on that.
I think it's important to encourage and emphasize the benefits of being vaccinated.
Number one, it can keep you out of the hospital.
It can prevent you from dying.
Not only are you protecting yourself, And when you become vaccinated, we can open up.
We can go to concerts.
We can go to restaurants.
We don't have to worry about social distancing and masking if we all can do our part.
So ultimately, we're at about 30% of Americans being fully vaccinated right now.
If we can get that number up to 70% to 85% per the CDC recommendations, then we can resume a normal lifestyle, and it's going to be worth it to me.
Yeah, I think it's important because, again, only a third of Americans are fully vaccinated.
with these very safe and effective vaccines, Moderna and Pfizer, we do have to get that number up higher before we can resume normal activity.
I think that's very important.
It's also important that if you start your first dose, you get your second dose because there's many who are not making the appointment I think that's very important.
Some of you are saying, who is this and what are we watching?
Her name is Jeanette Nidawash, Trump's pick for Surgeon General.
Now, I've been putting out some tweets today and taking a small bit of flack for it because people are saying, viva.
Trust the plan.
They're not saying it quite like that.
They're saying, Viva, trust Trump and his picks.
Oh, Viva, she's seen the light.
She's come around.
That was from 2021, people.
Now, I'm going to say a number of things here.
This is going to be something of a detailed rant.
I wanted to do it in the car, but I just didn't have the time today.
People say, trust Trump and his picks.
First of all, supporting someone does not mean ratifying everything that they do.
Supporting someone might mean making sure they don't make the same mistakes that they made the first time around.
2016, everybody can pretty much unanimously agree Trump made terrible picks.
He made terrible picks because he had no experience in politics in Washington.
He thought he could trust people, and he thought he could convert people.
The art of the deal, he thought he could negotiate with terrorists, basically.
So part of supporting Trump means not letting him walk into the same mistakes he made the last time.
Some of you are going to say he knows so much more right now.
He's had nearly a decade of experience now.
He's taken a bullet literally.
He knows who he can trust and who he can't.
And to that I might say, okay, he might know more, but nobody is susceptible of not making mistakes.
Nobody becomes impervious to making bad decisions.
Some of you are going to say, if you elected him...
Then you trust everything he does, which is a very ironic thing because that's what they were saying about Kamala Harris.
To them, I would say, no.
The people voted Trump in, and it wasn't just to defer to his rule, which is what people were expecting when you elect in a Kamala Harris.
You defer to her tyrannical rule.
No. On the one hand, he still represents the people, but not just that.
The people who voted him in expect him to represent their voices.
In government.
And to the extent that he gets in because he's elected by the people in a populist movement and then appoints to positions of power the very same people who were responsible for what many feel to be a crime against humanity, myself included?
No. He's not the boss.
He's not the top dog now.
He is beholden to some extent to the people that elected him.
You don't elect him in to a tyrant.
That's what the Democrats were suggesting was going to happen because that's what they know happens when you elect a Biden, a Kamala Harris.
They come in and then they rule, regardless of what you want.
The people put Trump in power to fight against the very swamp that he might, for whatever the reason, be appointing to positions of power now.
So he's not a boss.
He is the representative of the people.
And if he picks somebody that basically spits in the face of the 76 million people who just voted Trump into power, you're damn right he should hear about it.
Now getting to Jeanette.
Some people are going to say she's learned her mistake.
Oh yeah, she really came around.
It's not fair to judge her for what she said in 2021.
She now knows the science and she now knows that she was...
First of all...
I don't know if she repented and recanted and honestly I don't care if she did.
You have to understand the problem here.
The problem is not that she was wrong.
The problem is not that anybody was wrong in and of itself.
There are a multitude of reasons for which you could be wrong.
You could be wrong for the right reasons.
You could be wrong because you just moved too quickly.
You could be wrong because you didn't pay attention to a certain detail.
You could be wrong because you made mistakes in your work that you showed and that you learned from.
The problem is...
When you're wrong about judgment, when you're wrong because you relied on bad science and promoted bad science because you uncritically supported that bad science, that's not a question of being wrong.
The being wrong there is not the problem.
The problem is the poor judgment.
And when you get out there and you repeat propagandist Pfizer talking points that you had no reason to be repeating, safe and effective?
How the hell did you know that?
You couldn't have known it because it wasn't around for long enough to be safe and effective.
Oh, I was just repeating what Pfizer told me.
You had no business repeating that as a matter of fact, let alone putting it into policy.
First thing.
So, bad judgment.
Panic. Relying on the unreliable.
You relied on Pfizer.
The company that paid the second highest criminal fine in the history of pharma, and you promoted their propaganda, you relied on their falsified figures, falsified numbers, and you actually put it into policy.
You promoted what I believe is child abuse.
Masking up of kids.
Outdoors. Social distancing.
There never was science behind that.
So for her to have repeated that for which there was never science and that for which she had no reason to repeat as scientific policy makes the problem here not the fact that she was wrong, but she was wrong for the very, very, very worst wrong reasons.
And I haven't even gotten into the censorship part.
There's a clip going around that's going viral.
Of supporting censorship.
This pick for Surgeon General.
Supporting Facebook's censorship on vaccine misinformation and disinformation.
So you have a person who acts too quickly in times of uncertainty, repeats the words of people that she has no business repeating, saying as a matter of fact statements for which she had not only no reason to say as matter of facts, which her medical critical brain should have known could not be said.
Safe and effective after six months of trials?
Had she not heard of Maddie DeGarry back in the day?
I did.
And in addition to all of that, she then comes out and supports censorship.
I don't care what she had by way of born-again revelation.
She might be able to be forgiven if you assume that you can forgive people for committing what I believe are crimes against humanity, against children.
You might have it in your heart to forgive her.
But she is never to be trusted in a position of power ever again.
If somebody can't handle a gun, they panic under pressure, and they accidentally...
Shoot somebody that they meant to taser.
Well, you might forgive them.
You might say they're criminally not liable.
But you don't say, all right, now jump back into that position and here's another gun.
The only reason why that's not necessarily analogous is somebody can be trained to handle a gun safely.
When someone has displayed radically poor judgment, you might be able to forgive them.
You might be able to understand how, oh, we were all duped.
Yeah, hey, I was duped.
I never took it upon myself to force anything on anybody else.
I was duped.
I never supported the idea of masking children.
I was duped.
Social distancing was a crime against humanity.
Locking people up into...
She was talking about gatherings, limiting gatherings.
These were crimes against humanity for which there was never any science.
And people say, trust Donald Trump.
You have to rely on his good judgment.
Don't let the man make the same mistakes he made the last time.
Some people are going to say, well, it's a Surgeon General.
She's going to be working under RFK Jr.
So she'll be listening to him.
That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard in my life.
Oh, she's going to be working under RFK Jr., so put somebody in under RFK Jr. with wildly bad judgment?
I don't care.
She could be the nicest, sweetest, most sincere person on earth.
Then she's sincerely ignorant.
Working under RFK Jr., like, we haven't seen enough of the sabotage of people working under the people under whom they work.
There wasn't.
People were working under Trump.
They sabotaged Trump.
And some people are going to say, well, RFK was wrong on certain things, too.
True. But when what they were wrong on is that basically to which they were just appointed to be very powerful decision makers, that's where there's a problem.
You could disagree with RFK Jr. on Second Amendment rights, on abortion.
Those are very tangentially related, if at all, to his potential nomination or appointment's confirmation to HHS.
When you're wrong on the subject for which you are appointed to, that's where there's a problem.
So, yeah, there's no trusting the plan here.
And Trump needs to hear it from the people who voted for him.
I didn't vote for him, but I sure as heck believed he was the right person for the position at this time.
But you don't just get a pass and say, oh, three years later, I realized that what I said was wildly wrong at the time.
It's not even as though you could say I had no reason to know that it was wrong at the time.
You damn well did.
The Barrington Declaration was out there at the time.
So, yeah.
Her having changed her ways.
Fine. You can forgive her.
You don't give her a promotion.
Her being appointed to a position working under RFK Jr., horse crap.
You hire someone who showed good judgment in times of crisis, not someone who showed bad judgment in times of crisis.
So there are people out there who probably sincerely believe that she is responsible for what she said for the deaths of children, for the deaths of citizens, Americans.
You can forgive her.
You don't give her a raise for that.
And whether or not she's not going to be any decision-making power.
Oh, the other argument is you've got to throw the Dems a bone.
Appoint one person that's going to satisfy their needs so that it's not filled with anti-vaxxers.
Horse crap.
You're going to throw a bone to the people that just try to lock you up, bankrupt you, and kill you?
You're going to throw a bone to people who are effectively confirmed ideological terrorists?
You're going to go negotiate with them?
Oh, show me some love.
I gave you one of your candidates here who pushed the vax, face masks on kids, social distancing.
Horse crap.
You don't do that because it doesn't accomplish anything.
They're not going to give you any good favors.
You're never going to be in their good graces.
They're going to try to take you down like they tried to take Trump down in 2016, like they took him down in 2020.
This is policy that was at the base, effectively the cause of Trump not getting elected in 2020.
Changing the rules because of COVID.
Oh, now we realize.
If you realize you were wrong on everything and that it actually physically hurt people, it actually traumatized and damaged a generation of children, you apologize and you might be forgiven, but you don't pick that person to head up the Surgeon General.
Was something wrong with Lopato?
I mean, from what I understand, Ben Carson didn't want the position.
You pick someone who deserves the position.
You don't throw any bones to your enemies because they're never going to accept them.
They'll take that bone and they'll beat you right over the head with it the first chance they get.
Say, boss.
Well, I feel a little better, but I don't really.
Does anybody else feel any better there?
That's all I have to say on that.
Snip, clip, share away.
It's an unacceptable pick.
Unacceptable. All right.
Now, before we get into this, we're going to get into the show in a bit.
What I want to say is I want to thank...
Well, I'll talk about the...
We'll get past the ugly stuff, and then we're going to get into the good stuff.
We're going to thank our sponsors of tonight's show.
We've got two awesome sponsors.
And let me...
How do I do this?
I've never done this before.
People, it's happened.
Red meat is in the house, people.
First of all, it is the holiday season.
I'm going to show you a picture of this meat on our dinner plates with Vinny Oshana, Humberto from The Unusual Suspects, and that is how you celebrate the holidays.
Barbecue, and look, I know some people don't drink out there.
Barbecue, martinis, and friends.
That is...
What the holidays is about.
And they're here, and there's no better way to make the season memorable than with a feast from Chicago Steak Company.

Now, by the way, I just want to show you this.
It comes in a styrofoam box.
Air-dried, air-sealed, dry ice in container.
The dry ice, we still had such massive chunks of it that my wife used it for a homeschooling lesson with the kid.
Like, you put it in water, and you put soap in the water, and then the dry ice bubbles the water, but the soap entraps the dry ice in the bubbles.
We had a great time with it.
You want to know why everybody's smiling at this table?
First of all, Vinny.
He looks like he's always in Hulk mode, like ready to crush.
That's Umberto in the back.
This is our family.
Now, this is straight up.
My wife was a little embarrassed about the Olive Garden, but that was actually homemade salad dressing in the Olive Garden.
That is the filet mignon right there.
Beautifully cooked.
Oh, it was delicious.
That's what the faces of happy, well-fed people look like at the holidays.
So go to the Chicago...
I don't want to screw up the website again.
It's mychicagosteak.com forward slash Vivo and pick some steak up and it's flippin' delicious.
Okay. And on a not so good note, but it's a way to protect yourselves.
Cover your tushies, people.
Home Title Lock, second sponsor.
The links are in the pinned comment.
When we moved down to Florida, I actually discovered something that I did not know about because it doesn't really exist up in Canada.
It's a crime happening in the U.S. called house stealing, also known as title theft, where criminals can transfer your home's title into their name with just a single document and wipe out your equity without you even knowing.
Well, you all know that I now live in Florida.
Didn't know about this in Canada because I don't think it exists in Canada, or at least definitely not as much.
Florida is the hotbed for these types of crimes.
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 thief had fraudulently changed the title, but Home Title Lock quickly detected it and restored the title back to the rightful owner.
Imagine if they hadn't been subscribed to Home Title Lock.
It could have been a disaster.
If you're not monitoring your title, the criminals can get away with this, leaving you, the homeowner, to deal with the aftermath in court.
A big bag of steaming poop a la Billy Madison.
The best way to protect your equity is with Triple Lock protection from our friends at Home Title Lock.
Triple Lock is 24-7 monitoring, alerts, 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 or use the link in the description below.
It's there.
HomeTitleLock.com, promo code Viva30, 30 days of protection, and a title report for free.
Do it.
And after you're done doing it, go barbecue a steak and enjoy it.
Okay. We're live.
And I want to get to some of the chat before I go into the next one, which is going to make your freaking head explode.
Judith... Graham says, this week I went to one of my local Amish farm stores just north of Lancaster County or Lancaster County and found signs all over the shelves and refrigerated cases saying they were unable to sell the products there.
When asked, the young woman acknowledged that the government had been there and she explained that they need to get a license.
They will not be able to.
I can't read the rest of this.
Darn it.
Oh, I can read right there.
They will not be able to sell designated jarred and dairy products.
What can the community do to stop this harassment to the Amish community?
We're going to get there.
Love and Two Limes donated.
Thank you very much.
Viva, are you going to...
Am I keeping up with the Bronco recall?
I can assure you I'm not because I don't know what it is.
I'll have to look into that.
Ours is a 2023, so...
Should be good.
And I'm going to try to figure out as we stream how to get locals to supporters only because anybody who wants to watch, you can watch on YouTube, Rumble.
And if you're a supporter, you'll watch on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
We're going to try to keep the locals community supporters only for the Sunday night show.
And anybody who doesn't like that, well, you can come watch it at Rumble for free until we go to the supporters only at the end of the show.
Anyhow, and if you're new to the channel, we start on Commitube, as I like to call it, YouTube.
Rumble, Twitter, and VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
And then we head on over to Rumble, the free speech platform.
We vote with our feet.
We vote with our dollar.
We support the parallel economy and the parallel tech world.
And then we have our after-party supporters only to thank and recognize our supporters who allow Robert, Barnes, and me to keep doing this.
Okay. I feel like I'm having a bit of chest pains, but my goodness.
Cheryl Gage says, I hope Elon buys MSNBC.
That would be hilarious.
Just so you all know, there's a fake video of...
It's a memed video of Rachel Maddow apparently crying.
You know what?
I have to show it.
When I make a mistake...
Oh, it wasn't really that much of a mistake.
I just didn't know it was spliced video together.
It's quite hilarious because...
You know what?
I will not even ruin it.
Let's just watch this.
There are a great many other dirty jokes to make with this meme, but watch this.
Oh. Hold on.
Oh. Yeah.
To at least three...
Put up the graphic of this.
Okay, this is where it's a meme.
This is not the original graphic.
I think I'm going to have to hand this off.
Sorry. That doesn't press tonight.
We'll see you again tomorrow.
Okay, so I said, she can't, this phony can't even squeeze out one phony tear from her reptilian duct.
And then people are like, Viva, that video is AI.
I was like, oh, well, that kind of makes it so I delete my tweet.
Then I post up and say, sorry, guys, I didn't realize it was AI.
Then I was like, no, it's not AI, Viva.
It's an actual clip of her, but they just spliced it together.
So I was like, okay.
I had to delete that.
Go back.
My original tweet was right.
She can't even fake to get a...
Maybe she had too much Botox because Botox apparently can actually prevent you from tearing up.
And I'm actually...
I should have said the Botox.
I'm not trying to make fun of the way she looks.
I'm just trying to find a way for...
An explanation for why she can't, even when she's trying to act, squeeze out an actual bonafide tear.
It means that she's incapable of channeling a deep emotion of sadness in her own body.
She can't even get...
An actual tear out of her reptilian duct.
But that wasn't what I wanted to show you.
I wanted to show you this because this is going on in Canada.
I did an interview on RT yesterday.
And if you had...
No, the interview was...
Yes, it was during the day yesterday.
And I talked about it during our Locals Fossil Review that was exclusive to Locals yesterday where I showed Locals my beautiful fossils that I picked up at the Palm Beach Mineral and Fossil Show.
What the hell was I just about to say?
Oh yes, the interview on RT about how Canada has fallen.
If you had any lingering doubts, people, this is Ezra Levant.
And I don't care if you don't like him.
This is Ezra Levant getting arrested for crossing the street into the pro-Palestinian protesters to ask them questions, as a journalist would do.
But it seems that he's a journalist who everyone knows is a Jew.
And for the Jew journalist to cross the street and go to the protesters to ask them questions, it would be...
Violating the peace, breach of the peace.
So this is the police arresting him.
And Karim Assad, if you don't know her follower, she's great, posted it.
And I was like, oh, I retweeted.
I was like, oh, all right.
So, I mean, why are they arresting him?
And I asked her and she said, apparently for breach, you know, breach of the peace.
Because he crossed to the other side where the protesters were.
And was going to ask them questions, as a journalist does.
And Karima was right.
And this is a video from Rebel News.
Avi Yamini posted this.
And listen to this.
This is enough to make you say, I no longer back the blue.
I am one who reflexively would say, I'll back the blue.
They have a tough job.
They've got to make split-second decisions.
And it's not fair to hold them to a higher standard than a normal human.
Although they, you know, opt for that job.
I will be inclined to say, respect the police officers.
And then you watch something like this which does damage that is inexplicably high and difficult to recover from.
Listen to this.
Your presence is inciting.
Now, Ezra says, because I'm a Jew, and some of you might say, oh, he's going right to identity politics.
The question would be, if he were black, If he were Asian, if he were clearly not Jewish, a journalist doing that, would that incite the same violence from the pro-Palestinian group?
That's the question.
This cop just said to him, your presence is incitement.
He's a journalist, whether you like it or not, you dumb bums.
And he doesn't even need to be a journalist to do this.
He crosses the street, he's clearly Jewish, Ezra Levant, vocal about it.
And his presence as a Jewish journalist is inciting the mob and watch what happens next.
No, because you're trying to incite me.
I haven't tried to incite me.
I want you to take a picture of the hate crime that you're abiding.
You could have done it on the other side.
You didn't need to walk over.
You could have warned about it.
Now I'm going to tell you to move over there.
I allowed you to take that video.
I allowed you to take that video.
So you're refusing to leave?
You're refusing to leave.
Why? Because I'm a Jew.
I'm a citizen.
And I'm your boss.
Well, that might have been...
Not the answer to get the...
The answer might have been, I'm afraid to leave because I'm a journalist and it's a free, gosh-forsaken country, you filthy tyrant.
But, Ezra went with his answer, and...
Drumroll! I don't leave if you say Jews are allowed on the street.
But you know what?
In the interest of keeping peace here and public safety, you're under arrest for preaching the peace.
Look at me, he's so happy with himself.
Hey! The mob loves the cop.
Un... Freaking believable people.
Look at Ezra's face.
I know Ezra not very well.
I know him reasonably well.
This is the face of a man who cannot believe what has happened to his country.
It's like, there's no anger.
It's almost like resignation.
Because there's nothing that can possibly...
You refuse to leave?
I'm arresting you for breach of the peace.
and the pro-Palestinian mob cheers.
Well, I just want to see his face here.
Okay, we got there and that was this.
Okay, here.
Okay. *music* I'm being arrested because I'm standing on the sidewalk in my city.
Yeah, breaching the peace.
Say it enough times, cops, and maybe you'll believe the lie one of these times.
All right.
That's it.
It's outrageous.
Barnes is in the backdrop, I think.
Let me see if I missed.
I know that I missed a few super chats over on Commitube.
Let me bring it up.
Scrolly, scrolly, Magoli.
I can't see it.
It says, Pasha Moyer, Viva, do I feel better after your rant?
Sure, a bit.
But the question is, how do we get Trump to feel better, i.e.
change his mind about this?
I say that the pick should have the decency of doing what Matt Gaetz did, but for different reasons.
Sorry, I have to decline.
I don't think I'll have the faith of the people.
That I've been appointed to represent because of the mistakes I've made in the past.
I'm deeply sorry for them, but I do appreciate that they might have caused an irreparable, irremediable rift of trust that must exist between public health officials and the public they represent.
That's what she could say.
It's actually pretty damn eloquent.
I didn't have that scripted, people.
I just made that up on the spot.
Oh, and then we got another one.
Mark Guidetti says, stop calling them protesters.
They are violent jihadi rioters.
Until they engage in the violence, I'll call them protesters.
But what was going on in Montreal was pro-Hamas, Antifa, Black, whatever the hell you want to call them.
Smashing windows and breaking stuff.
Okay, Barnes is in the backdrop.
I see him down there.
Let me see if I...
Oh, there he is.
I'm always just waiting on you.
Okay, sorry.
Will, that's my cue.
That's going to be our wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Oh, God, I got something in my eye.
Robert, how are you doing?
You look good.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, yeah.
All right, so what is, well, what's the good word?
The book behind you, we've seen that book before, and you're wearing a win jacket.
Robert, start off with the topic number one, the pick.
Jeanette, what's her last name now?
Which one, the most recent?
Yeah, the Surgeon General.
Yeah. So obviously there's a range of picks.
Different people like or dislike them for different reasons.
So you've got the sort of more Republican establishment choice and people like Rubio.
You have for Secretary of State, which has a lot of power, particularly the State Department has a lot of power.
Rubio is not the kind of guy that's going to shake anything up over there.
And so, you know, that appeals to one wing, doesn't appeal to another.
And it's been back and forth.
So that he's, you know, Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence.
And then Pete, the Hexorth, the Secretary of Defense recommendation, is kind of between those two worlds.
You know, a guy with a lot of military experience, media experience, and so forth.
But most of the health people he picked, other than Surgeon General, looked pretty good by me.
So that's why I wasn't rushing.
I think the Surgeon General pick was a weak pick.
I prefer the current Surgeon General of Florida to become the next Surgeon General in the United States.
He's been the only one that's been competent and capable during the COVID era.
And I think this reflects a part of Trump himself, but also a part of Trump world that doesn't necessarily want to extend the questions about vaccines and the like to COVID.
Robert, if I may...
People are seeing your volume is a little low.
Are you able to bump it up or bring your mic closer?
Double check how it is on your mic.
It's closer than it usually is for me.
It just got better.
Apparently Ben Carson didn't want the Surgeon General.
He put out a post that says he wouldn't take the position.
Do you know any reason why he didn't pick Lopato?
Or if Lopato would have been game?
Don't know.
I assume he would be.
Okay. I mean, he's currently in Florida, but I don't see why he wouldn't be interested in the U.S. Surgeon General position.
Am I overreacting about the pick?
Does the U.S. Surgeon General...
I mean, all these picks are being put out there now so that people can react to them.
So, you know, it makes sense that people react to them.
It wouldn't make sense for people to not react to them, put it that way.
Okay. And as for the argument that goes, trust Trump on his picks and don't second-guess him?
I mean, I think they'll be a lot better because of other people that are in the room this time at every level.
But it's also a mixed bag of people.
In other words, there's an establishment wing that's in that room.
There's a Wall Street wing that's in that room.
There's the Robert Kennedy wing that's in that room.
There's the Tulsi Gabbard wing that's in that room.
So there's multiple groups, you could say, represented within those folks in ways that are much, much improved over last time.
No doubt about that, compared to 2016.
But I think people should stay alert and stay critical if certain people's names and ideas are floated and think it's a bad idea, be very vocal, because now's the time to be vocal.
I'm not sure what happened with Matt Gaetz.
I know, I was going to...
I thought, Matt, something else must be afoot, as I'll conclude from now.
Because that didn't seem like Gates, that didn't seem like Trump, the way that went down.
So I think probably something else may be in the works down the road.
Well, so I will not disclose my sources, but I picked the brains of bigger brains, not just yours, quite publicly.
And other people say that there might be something in that ethics.
Uh, ethics report that was, uh, going to be released that he staved off by resigning or, or leaving, uh, geez Louise.
He, he left, uh, I get a step between the house and the Senate.
He, he was, he just got elected to Congress, right?
Yeah, but like none of that, I mean, all that he knew was coming one way or the other.
So the, there's no way to run for attorney general.
Not for them to rehash the prior smear campaign they were doing.
I thought there was a more recent ethics report that was going to be released, and apparently the thinking is that by accepting the rule and leaving Congress, they wouldn't release it, but that doesn't sound particularly right because obviously they're going to leak it regardless.
Well, yeah, they'll leak it regardless anyway.
But in terms of the timing issue, it was solely that if you...
You could prohibit that particular report from being published while he's not a member of Congress directly from that committee.
Because that's how that so-called ethics committee, which is just absurd.
It's laughable at so many levels.
It's parody times a satire on steroids.
The idea that a Congress where people are made fabulously rich by their insider dealings...
To the degree that people can have Nancy Pelosi's stock trade as an open Twitter account.
And that's the world telling you, you know, worried about whether this ethics rule or that ethics rule.
It's all kind of bogus.
So I can't imagine any of that was why.
So my assumption is something else was afoot, but we'll find out a year, three years from now.
We'll see in time.
If I could hypothesize, the only really thing that could have been afoot is...
The three theories that people are floating is, I was listening to Shannon Joy, who I think is scheduled to be on tomorrow, and her take on things, and she calls Matt Gaetz a degenerate.
Now, I don't judge people for the behavior that is not relevant to the position that they're applying for, unless it's criminal, or really, really over the top.
But are there rumors that Matt Gaetz, he might not be involved in underage sex trafficking, but he's involved in behavior that might be unbecoming in a material sense of the position of the Attorney General?
All that is the smear campaign.
They ran against him to prohibit him from running for attorney general in the state of Florida, so that he couldn't use that to then run for governor of Florida.
So then anybody who takes that seriously is like taking somebody seriously who believes in Russiagate.
Okay. And that, that, that was my understanding as well as that they only come up with these sexual impropriety allegations when you are going for a position that they don't want you to have.
They did it to Matt Gaetz, but it was an old accusation.
Tulsi Gabbard, I don't know about the sex, but they go for the Russian agent.
And then Pete Hegseth.
Did you follow the, you follow the news on Hegseth last week?
Yeah, they're waiting to sort of hit him with that first hit piece that they've been sitting on with people that are connected to people who hate Fox.
So because Fox signs off on any kind of settlement of any kind over the years, then, you know, if you have access to...
Fox's Insurer, Fox's General Counsel, Fox's Corporate Board.
You know where everybody's dirt is in conservative media.
That should have been the bigger takeaway, in part, from the Bill O'Reilly so-called scandal.
How Fox was actually using that to their benefit and their profit.
It might have been part of a broader pattern of other things if you dug in deeper, wider, longer to the Murdoch name and Roger Ailes himself.
But putting that aside, I forgot what I was going to say now.
Roger Ailes and the smear against Hegseth.
Oh, yeah.
So there's a certain timing of anybody that's worked for Fox.
Whatever's in their skeletons or in their closet, everybody in the media knows because of the way in which that tends to operate.
Who gets that information shared with?
It's an issue I have with excessive employer invasions of people's internal privacy rights.
But either way, they knew this was coming and it sounds like it's nothing from Megyn Kelly.
Stuff like this is not going to get anywhere if that's their goal.
In terms of the court of public opinion, the question is, can they get 50 plus, you know, 51 senators?
That's the question.
Oh, Bill, so in our locals, it says Jimmy Dore has a video about Gates, looks like a honeypot operation.
I was thinking it's a honeypot operation with Hegseth, like a married woman who immediately shows regret and then files a police report, and then it comes up seven years later at the most opportune time, despite the fact that the police never filed charges against Hegseth, nor did Biden's DOJ file charges against Gates, despite the fact that that investigation occurred under the most weaponized DOJ on the planet.
But Robert, if we go through the list thus far.
Of the picks.
I mean, we've talked about a lot of them, but we'll just go one by one and we'll do the 30 seconds if there's anything new to add.
So, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, is she the one making these picks right now?
She hires staff but doesn't have anything to do with appointments, correct?
I mean, she has some role, no question about that.
But the chief of staff can be as influential as they want to be.
She'll be very influential as a chief of staff.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of...
I understand why...
He trusts her because he's been around there for a year, year and a half.
Kind of picked him over DeSantis, you might say.
Because she's a Florida, long-time Florida person.
Or at least last couple electoral cycles.
Her husband was a Reagan guy going all the way back to the 80s.
And they sniffed around Washington and didn't give up the sniff.
It's that kind of conservative.
But she's very sharp behind the scenes.
At working rooms in that way.
But I think she is more of a negative than a positive for Trump.
Okay. I know that you mentioned.
I do wonder if she has, you know, she'll pick some.
Say, we've got to give and take a little bit.
There'll be people who undermine right out of the gate.
And there'll be people that she'll be ready to sub in for when she wants to take out somebody.
I'm sure she's not.
She wasn't probably on the Matt Gaetz bandwagon, for example.
Is my guess.
But Bondi, she is connected to.
So that might benefit everybody.
Is Bondi's solid?
We'll see.
You know, I mean, it's just that she didn't really make a splash as Attorney General of Florida.
You could have easily forgotten that she was the Attorney General of Florida.
So my view is, if I can forget that you are the Attorney General, are you going to be the person who's going to really clean up the Justice Department?
Probably not.
So what they would probably be better off with is creating new committees when they get in there.
Bondi is very competent at running a prosecutorial office, not at deconstructing a very corrupt bureaucratic operation.
So don't try to make her do both.
Let her run the operation of the Attorney General's office and create some task forces.
Looking at lawfare, looking at pardons, looking at areas where the president can use the presidential power, like the power of pardon literally in that case, to educate people on the problems in the legal system and trying to reform and improve upon it.
A task force is to look at institutional changes that need to maybe take place, at least at the seventh floor level, so that what happened in 2020 and before cannot happen all over again.
And so I think maybe look at things like that.
I think Bondi's very capable.
It's just what people were wanting out of the Justice Department Attorney General's role was to clean house.
And that's not what Bondi's going to do.
So now they need to supplement what she's doing with some additional people to be able to keep his word to that and his own objectives.
I mean, his objectives were aligned much more with Matt Gaetz than some others.
So yeah, so Chief of Staff, capability, no questions whatsoever.
She's been very skilled for a long time.
In terms of trustworthiness to be aligned with the more reform aspects of Trump, the more populist aspects of Trump, been cashing in politics for too long for that to be her orientation.
And then the question I had was, Marco Rubio we talked about last week, and I love what you said, in that...
If Trump wants to come in and make some sort of radical, wild new peace deal, make amends with Cuba, the best person to do that would be Marco Rubio, despite some people thinking, and probably rightly so, that he's a bit of a war whore for the war in Russia and yada yada yada.
So there might be some actual political very good use of Marco Rubio to get things done that might otherwise not be feasible with another candidate.
Pam Bondi.
Todd Blanche, Deputy Attorney General.
Okay, I mean...
He's okay.
I think he's one of Trump's defense lawyers.
Yeah, that's what I thought as well.
That's why there were people floating Todd Blanche for Attorney General, which they were surprised when they went with Pam Bondi over Paxton or Bailey.
Okay, RFK Jr. would like...
And you don't think RFK Jr. is going to have a problem getting confirmed now that they...
Oh, there's definitely that risk.
There's definitely that risk.
All right.
Well, hold on.
Who we got here?
Elise Stefanik, U.S. Ambassador.
I think we both like her.
Tom Homan, Bordazar, we love.
Pete Hexeth, we love.
So, Merkowitz and the other three who apparently were responsible for Never Gates.
What sort of...
I mean, I saw Mark Robert, America's Untold Stories, filled in a couple weeks ago.
He's like, you have to do something to let them know that this is not going to be politically palatable.
I mean, primaries, pressure campaigns, strongly worded letters.
What ways are there to make...
I mean, is Merkowitz just going to turn over to be a Democrat?
She'll just change parties and then vote her out the next time there's an election?
Well, I mean, you mean Murkowski?
Murkowski, sorry.
Not Murkowitz.
That's what she's been doing for a while now.
So, you know, she's figured out a way to carve out her own little niche and create their own little rules to help that...
Promote her little niche.
And that's the way she's been able to stay in power.
And so likely she may be able to sustain that in that direction.
People like Collins in Maine, that's normally a Democratic seat.
So I never complain about those kind of places.
It's more like you're stuck with Utah with another Romney-esque Republican again.
That should not.
You just get elected to the Senate in Utah.
And your first reaction is to tell the newly elected president of your party?
You're not going to give him his attorney general's pick?
I mean, that tells you some people that need to be smacked around.
People that need to be smacked around in Washington are in the House of Representatives and in the United States Senate.
That's who needs to be smacked around in Washington.
And how much Trump is going to be able to achieve that so that he can smack around all the other bums in Washington is the open question for the next six months.
And by smack around, Robert Burns means political smack arounds.
Metaphorically. Alright, we got Michael Waltz.
I think I remember people being up in arms and I have no idea anything about Michael Waltz without doing a deep dive, but can I do a deep dive into your brain right now and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, good or bad?
I think he'd be good.
He'd be fine.
Doug Burgum, I think we like.
Interior Secretary.
Especially where he's at.
I don't even know what that does.
Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, Sean Duffy, Transport.
Let's get to the good ones that have been causing a stir.
Linda McMahon.
That is Ed McMahon's wife or daughter?
Wife. Okay.
What was her position?
Her position was Secretary of Education.
I don't know her history.
I know people are making fun of the fact that it's a WWE.
I didn't know that she was Ed McMahon's wife when I made my joke about never doing the pile driver, even as a stunt, with a WWE guy.
I was like, I kind of love her now.
She did the pile driver.
He didn't hit her head on the ground, but I'd never do that even as a joke.
Okay, what's her deal?
Why her over anybody else?
Some of these people are long-term loyalists.
Some are donors.
Some are people that he trusts or likes in that specific area or space.
So the other thing that's happening is a lot of these people are dissident billionaires of one type or another.
So that's kind of what Elon Musk is and what Vivek is and to some degree what J.D. Vance is and what Peter Thiel is and to some degree what Robert Kennedy in his own way.
He's not super rich, but he's super well-known.
All of these people are people that had some degree of platform that they've...
Decided to either leverage or sacrifice for a specific area of governmental concern.
And Trump sincerely wants to unleash them to do what they need to do.
And you have people behind the scenes that will be working with people like the chief of staff and others that are aligned with the establishment, that are aligned with the lobbyists, that will try to undermine anything from getting ultimately done by mitigating who gets appointed personnel-wise and all the rest.
That's what's happening behind the scenes.
Most of the fighting is happening in-house, so to speak, not between the parties.
Robert, the chat is going nuts because it's Vince McMahon, not Ed McMahon.
Ed McMahon, I think, was from that talent show from the 80s.
Oh, what was it called?
Oh, the chat will get it in a second.
Publishers Weekly?
No, no, no.
The chat will get it in a second.
Oh, what was the name of the show?
Oh, it doesn't matter.
Whatever. So, Vince McMahon.
Okay, are there any other material ones?
I'll just...
Oh, no, where did I just go?
The list.
Okay, obviously we love Tulsi Gabbard.
Lee Zeldin, EPA administrator.
Did we talk about him last week?
He'll probably be fine, yeah.
Okay, and we got...
Let me see here.
The ones that people are freaking out about, we're going to get to in a second.
Okay, what do we got?
Mike Huckabee for a U.S. ambassador to Israel.
I mean, I don't know why people...
I like Huckabee to Israel.
I like Huckabee.
In general.
I like his book.
He's a loyalist to Trump.
He would be good.
I don't know what...
He's deeply tied to the evangelical community in the States that has deep ties to Israel and religious Israeli conservatives.
So he's a natural for Trump to appoint.
Natural for the Republican Party to appoint.
Natural for evangelical conservatives to want appointed.
Natural for pro-Israel conservatives to want...
Uniqueness of him is he has a history of being skeptical of dumb wars, not getting overengaged and unduly intertwined.
That's why he makes a perfect Trump ambassador.
Because Trump's point is, like Trump, Trump won more evangelical votes than anyone ever.
Evangelical Christian votes in the history of the country.
And as such, he's got a certain sort of leeway.
Picking Huckabee makes that pick, right?
If he had picked an Uber, there's so many, I'm more hawkish than you, competitors in that conservative think tank space.
I'd have been more concerned if Trump had picked somebody like that.
Instead, if it wasn't even the donor pick, it was someone that was clearly, that was going to reinforce the peace aspect and Trump's political leverage in the region.
So, excellent choice.
We're taking shit in the chat again because everyone's like, Ed McMahon was the co-host of Johnny Carson, and I was thinking of the show Solid Gold, which I just Googled.
He was not the host of...
Does everyone remember Solid Gold?
And they had, like, the dance things from...
I never watched Johnny Carson of The Tonight Show.
I remember Johnny Carson.
That's what I remember.
Ed McMahon, I think Eddie Murphy did a bit...
It was Morton?
Oh, it doesn't matter.
Eddie Murphy did a...
If it was not about Ed McMahon, it was someone else who...
Not a joke, I can repeat.
Department of Governmental Efficiency.
We love, obviously, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
And, okay, well, that's it.
I think we can...
Oh, no, sorry.
What's his name?
The one...
Oh, okay, hold on.
I forgot his name now.
Oh, okay.
Jackie on Rumble on YouTube says, now we have a warmonger, Gorka, as director of counterterrorism.
Definitely nothing will go wrong.
Is that official here?
Hold on a second.
I think Trump put that out there.
That was Gorka's prior rap.
He showed up out of the blue, by the way.
Suddenly he became a counter-terrorism expert.
From where?
How? How did that come about?
Let's say his ties go back for a little ways.
That happened last time, but Gorka couldn't get security clearance because there was some sort of issue that they...
Officially correct.
Hold on, Robert.
I feel dense.
I don't know what the hell you're even alluding to.
Gorka does.
He wants to make another run around.
He can explain to you about what some of his relatives who they enjoyed shooting and killing at certain times.
So his position will be more of a...
Nominal rhetorical position of no policy impact whatsoever.
Do we have any more for the appointments or do we end this and come on over to take the rest over for Rumble for the rest of the show?
I think it's Rumble, I think.
That's it.
Let's do it.
Now, everybody, I'm going to try to turn...
I thought there was a way to turn locals into supporters only.
There usually is a button, but I don't see the button available during a studio.
So I'll see if I can do that, but thus far, the chart seems good.
Before we do that, there's a load of rumble rants that we are going to do real quick.
Star Search was Ed McMahon's show.
Well, that's the one I'm thinking of Star Search, not solid gold.
Nike7, and that was from Sean Robb.
Nike said, the only people who canceled me in the last nine years were QAnon, Orange, Jesus, Nutters.
Everything Trump does must be perfect.
A lot of them ate crow from what they said during 2020.
Please share the UK petition to reach as many UK citizens.
It's a no confidence in the UK.
Yeah, Keir Starmer's not going to declare an election because there's a petition.
He's going to lock your asses up for signing it.
But by the way, I'll share it.
I didn't mean to be...
A black pill there.
Even if you can't sign it, it humiliates the nutters.
Viva and Barnes make Sundays great again.
Lucy the dog.
V6 Neon.
Things so nuts in the UK that the public health, they launched legal petition to call a general election.
It's reached 1.75 million views, signatures.
Amazing. Waking up to a buddy of mine's father last night and he literally bought a gate.
And the BS child...
Oh, Matt Gaetz's abuse.
Yeah, no, a lot of people are...
You can't get rid of that initial impression.
The comments on Trump's truth post about the SG are all negative.
Oh, the...
Jeez Louise.
Surgeon General are all negative.
Hopefully he gets the picture and rescinds the nomination.
Or she declines.
She can do that.
It'd be probably an easier way to do it.
Lindsey Graham has said he will destroy Canada with sanctions should they arrest Netanyahu as per the international order.
How can you square that?
Oh my goodness, that would be funny.
Look, there's no love lost for Netanyahu.
I'd just love to see what happens with that.
Fartwith says, the Attorney General picked Pam Bondi's anti-Second Amendment, and I hope Elon buys MSNBC.
Are there some squishier choices being made to ensure Vance can finish the work Trump starts?
Four years is not enough time to turn the ship, so they need a position for Vance.
Truth puppet.
Go watch the Ed Dowd interview that I did on Wednesday.
I mean, he says he's got to get a lot done in the next two years because the midterms are going to be...
Interesting. Okay, so now I'm ending this Rumble.
YouTube, get your butts on over to Locals, if you are so inclined.
Here's Locals.
Or Rumble.
And we're going to carry on the party over there.
We didn't get to Alex Jones.
Did we get to Alex Jones last week?
I don't think we did.
There was something we absolutely missed, and we said we'll do it next week.
Rumble. Here.
Boom. Okay, and now we're going to end this and come on over to Rumble and Locals.
Boom. Robert, are you following what's going on up in Canada?
Dude, it's so wild.
So I started off the show with Ezra Levant getting arrested at a protest where pro-Palestinian protesters are protesting.
Ezra Levant, a Jewish reporter, but a reporter nonetheless, crosses the street to go interview them, gets arrested for breach of the peace.
Friday night...
There's the NATO summit.
You've got, I don't know, however many NATO members coming in Canada.
You've got the pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, Antifa, Black Locks?
What do they call them?
The Black Lock guys.
You know, the guys dressed in black.
Protesting, smashing windows, setting cop cars on fire while Justin Trudeau is at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto.
It's absolutely wild.
Three arrests, by the way.
So all the violence that you guys saw out of Montreal for Friday, three arrests.
And, you know, only two cars were burnt.
And windows smashed at Palais de Congrès.
Canada is literally on fire.
And we'll see what's happening there.
Justin Trudeau has announced that he's going to suspend, pause the tax, GST and QST, on food and food-related stuffs because they know that they're pulling an election in 2025.
Christian Freeland says it's now a $250 rebate.
If you make under $150,000 where you've paid...
35% of your income in taxes.
You're going to get $250 back.
Canada is wildly on fire, and it's not even fun to watch.
Alex Jones.
I don't think we talked about it last week.
We didn't ultimately get to it.
Everybody knows the Alex Jones defaulting into judgment, $1.5 million order, petitioned into bankruptcy, tried to restructure.
There was no agreement to be had.
Went from...
Bankruptcy protection to bankruptcy liquidation, and they're going to liquidate the assets.
And they had what was supposed to be a public bid, public offer for the assets of Infowars.
Open auction, so that everybody knows what the bids are, who puts in the highest bid.
But this obviously politically motivated trustee changes the rules, allegedly, and turns it into basically a secret auction.
By envelope.
So you put your thing in, nobody knows what the offers are, who put in what for way of offers, and the trustee accepts what he deems to be the best offer, not even the winningest offer.
And he accepted an alleged offer from The Onion that was allegedly backed by the Connecticut plaintiffs who, in order to sweeten up the deal, said, okay, it's only $1.75 million for the assets, but we will...
Make that worth $7 million by abandoning what the Onion would have to pay us from the purchase price and the proceeds so that it'll be effectively worth a multi-million dollar offer even though it's only $1.75 for cash for the assets.
And he accepts it.
They go for an emergency injunction in front of Judge Lopez, I want to say.
And the judge says, we're not convinced that what went down was totally kosher.
It's on pause.
The Onion hasn't gotten it yet.
Elon Musk has filed a notice of intent of some...
I don't know any more details than I do, but take it from there and let us know what you think.
Yeah, I don't know any more than anyone else does on any of these aspects.
So nothing, I would say, would represent any kind of attorney-client information or anything like that.
Alex has been public about everything through the whole process, very transparent throughout the whole process.
And our criticism of the Sandy Hook cases all the way through fundamentally was about the violation of our constitutional rights and liberties, which must always come first, more so than our willingness or lack of willingness to be offended.
But in the same capacity, it's the legal process that created that outcome and to have confidence in the legal process itself.
And everything we looked at said everything about the Sandy Hook set of cases.
Appears to be designed to use the legal system as a tool, as a weapon, as a mechanism to punish those they dislike or that are politically disfavored in their community.
With that local jury pool and local elected judges and elected officials.
And as long as you have complicit appellate courts, you can effectively force someone into bankruptcy.
Before they ever get to, say, a Supreme Court rule on whether or not the whole thing is constitutional in the first place.
And everything we've said so far keeps coming to fruition.
That if you had the most cynical, skeptical view of the cases against Alex Jones, if you suspected that they were purely political, they had no substance whatsoever behind them, and you would say, well, they would do this and this and this and this, it still wouldn't be as bad as the things that they have done.
And here you had what appears to me to be Fraud on the bankruptcy court.
You appear to have a U.S. trustee, federal official, complicit in an attempt to defraud the estate, which is partially represented by the U.S. government.
I mean, this is levels of fraud going on here that mirrors and parallels the kind of fraud that Pfizer committed against the American people with calling an unsafe, unaffected, dangerous drug.
A safe, effective vaccine for little kids in the case of the COVID vaccine.
So it's the same dynamic present.
And so we'll see if consequence comes of it ultimately.
What was I going to say about that?
But some people are asking.
My understanding was that the trustee has to approve any transaction in bankruptcy anyhow.
The news isn't contradicting that.
They just say, well, the judge typically would defer to the expertise or the discretion of the trustee.
The judge in bankruptcy has to ratify, has to approve all transactions in bankruptcy.
I'm not wrong about that under U.S. law.
Yes. Okay.
And now, what do you think the judge is going to do in this case?
You hold an evidentiary hearing.
If it turns out, Jones has filed an emergency injunction or emergency motion to disqualify the onion and to disqualify all of the partners in crime, so to speak, to that offer.
What sort of remedies does the judge have at his disposal and what do you think ultimately happens?
It makes me wonder whether they really thought...
That they just needed to get through to the election and then they'd be done with Trump world, done with Jones, done with all of them.
And didn't realize that, no, that's just the beginning of Act 2. That is what they woke up to after election night.
Because it's like they didn't have a plan at some point.
Like here, you're on the verge of getting to basically shut down Infowars, weaponizing the legal system, without a meaningful...
Merits judgment ever occurring at any level.
Insane on its own basis.
And yet, you're so greedy that you leak out the information that the trustee has that's supposed to be anonymous, that's supposed to be separate, right before the auction occurs, that other people had been foreclosed from that auction.
It looks like they were trying to cook the books on the auction.
They were trying to do a fake auction.
Because they were afraid that an honest auction would produce an honest valuation for their clients, but would actually promote more free speech, not demote it, and expose them as the frauds they are, who have been misusing their access to their clients, in my view, committing legal malpractice and breach of their fiduciary obligations to their clients.
And now you have the U.S. trustee willing to do the same thing and willing to betray the trust of the U.S. government.
Willing to commit federal crimes!
For what?
Just so InfoWars can't be on the air as InfoWars?
I mean, look at how...
When people tell me Alex Jones has no influence, then tell me, why are they so obsessed with him then?
If this guy says, oh, now he's just a conspiracy theorist and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Well, then why is the U.S. government with people on record with undercover reporters...
Talking about how they worked together with people in the media, with people in private law firms, all to coordinate, to create a case that in my view was a fake case because of how it was done procedurally, into shutting him down.
And they still couldn't even shut him down.
They still weren't able to do so before Election Day.
They still weren't able to do so right after Election Day.
They failed on both sides of that aisle.
That he truly is Godzilla.
They keep nuking him.
Stronger, stronger, stronger.
They should have figured that out now by Alex Jones, but they're clearly as slow to it as all the people who oppose Trump.
The thing I absolutely do not understand.
I don't know what Infowars brings in by way of, let's say, net revenue.
I know it's got to be substantial because they have amazing viewership.
They have amazing sales on merch.
Supplement stuff, which I think, you know, the markup is more or less depending on the product.
The Onion bid, even if the Onion bid 1.75 million cash, even if they bid the 7 million cash, how the hell is that business which generates what it generates being evaluated at 1.75 or 3 million from the offer that came in from the FUAC?
I forget what the acronym is.
How are they evaluating at that?
And for two million bucks, why doesn't Elon Musk come in and snatch it all up and just continue operating?
Yeah, he may now.
I mean, I think back at the beginning of all this, he wasn't sure where certain people were on the two radioactive space.
How far could he go?
Because it was Rogan, Robert Kennedy.
Then you're in the Alex Jones space.
And in the conventional space, those are all people you weren't supposed to listen to and are supposed to discard.
If you had a respectable opinion.
I'll have people come up to me that will say the most blatant things.
But it is what it is.
Where was I before?
We were talking about Alex Jones, the assets, Elon Musk coming to buy them in.
Oh yeah, I mean, so clearly, I mean, it's in a situation where everybody knows the solution.
A solution that is the same solution Jones has been offering for years, which is happy to put aside a big chunk of cash for the next 30 years that we make to give you a sense of relief and remedy for any mistake you blame me for.
You know, even though he would have good grounds to argue a lot of that's being misdirected at him, putting that aside, he said, okay, I accept that.
I deal with it.
I understand it.
And that's the practical...
Everybody knows that's the practical solution.
Because if they'd gone to the jury and said, jury, please prohibit our critics from speaking out, then they'd be like, well, hold on a second.
That's not our role.
As a jury.
It's not campy I roll constitutionally.
So all of this was all along one big long scam to censor, to create a new mechanism of lawfare to be able to censor and suppress dissident speech in America.
And it's because of the unwillingness of Alex Jones to go anywhere that has prohibited them from being successful in it because they misread Alex Jones at the end of the day.
Nacho Kitty in our local community says, Viva, the Onion gave no money.
They promised future earnings from Alex.
No, they offered 1.75 million cash and then other consideration, which was the Connecticut plaintiffs foregoing what would be owed to them from the proceeds of the purchase, which they then said brought it to the equivalent of a $7 million cash offer, which is still...
Elon overpaid $10 billion for Twitter?
Buy it, Elon.
Buy Infowars and let it continue.
But hold on, there was another thing that I was going to say about that.
The assets.
Oh, yes.
The offer, whether or not anyone's going to be sued for malpractice in this, it's not, you know, the offer of a settlement on the table for however many years later, you know, from revenue generated from the library that would continue to exist and continue to be created of Alex Jones.
It's obvious what they want.
Elon Musk's notice of intent or whatever, he filed a notice of interest in the bankruptcy.
I thought...
I had heard someone say that he put in an offer, but I don't think he did.
Some others were hypothesizing that it might have been because they were going to ask to transfer the IP of Twitter over to this company, and that's why he filed it in.
Do you have any inkling as to why Elon and Twitter would file a notice?
Yeah, it might not mean anything because there might be separate assets or liabilities that are impacted by Twitter.
Okay, excellent.
Now, hold on.
I just saw something come in and it is in a big red from King of Biltong.
Wait, before we get there, we'll do...
Okay, sorry.
I got that one.
NoSub says, Ed McMahon was Johnny Carson's sidekick and publisher Clearinghouse.
Then we've got King of Biltong who says, add Biltong to your stocking stuffers this season.
High-protein gifts packed with B12, zinc, iron, creatine, and more.
Grab them at BiltongUSA.com Viva10 for 10% off.
Now stocking.
Dried fruit.
And then we got Biltong in promoting his channel as he's within his rights to do.
Biltong, thank you.
We will have a two-hour Thanksgiving stream as well as a show on Friday and Sunday, 4 p.m.
Eastern, 3 p.m.
Central. Shit-talking whilst cooking real food.
Follow our channel.
Eat at Anton's.
Robert, on a lighter note before we get into the potential for World War III and what you think of the chances of Canada honoring the International Criminal Court warrant for the arrest.
Did you see the Jaguar ad?
If you're hesitating, it's because you haven't seen it.
We'll get copy claimed when we go back when I post this on YouTube, but screw it, but we're not there now.
Robert, 28 seconds.
Have you seen the episode of The Simpsons when Homer does Mr. Plow?
No. Mr. Plow, that's funny.
So he goes to this avant-garde ad agency to make an ad for his...
Snowplow industry.
And it's this wild thing with this, you know, black and white opera singers.
And at the end of it, he goes, Lisa says to dad, was that your ad?
And he says, I don't know.
Look at this and you'll have a good laugh.
I was like, This is out of a horror movie.
Live Vivid.
This, I think they're painting over the American flag.
Don't like it.
Copying the 1984 Apple commercial.
A bunch of freaks.
There's no other way to say it.
Copy nothing.
Robert, would you even know based on the rebranding of their logo that that was for the Jaguar car company?
No. Do you think, is it outlandish for shareholders of Jaguar to say, to file a class action lawsuit against the company?
For damaging the value of their stock by trying to...
I guess there's no underlying unlawful act here.
You can't really sue for horrendous business decisions.
Exactly. I mean, think about it from your Canadian time.
When could you sue for being an idiot?
It would be reckless disregard.
We're talking about a civil suit for loss of shareholder value.
It's so bad.
I'm just reading the chat.
I will not read.
Androgynous. Copy nothing when they're literally a guy with the hammer or I don't know if that person is supposed to be a guy.
It's literally copying throwing the hammer through the screen of the Apple commercial from 1984.
It copy everything.
Okay, hold on.
We're going to get some tipped questions over in Rumbles and I'll start from the top so that I don't run too far.
Too far down.
And then we'll see.
We're going to get into the international court.
Textmaster says, how was the Gates debacle anything but a complete surrender, allowing these senators to not vote and still torpedo a cabinet seat?
What happened to exposing these rhinos through a vote?
And good, good is Susan behind giving Gorka the war whore a cabinet seat.
Save us, Robert.
So I think we covered that.
You think it was a deep...
Well, you covered it.
We don't know if it was a deeper play, but something doesn't add up there.
Judith Graham says, This week I went to one of my local Amish farmer stores.
I read that one before you got here.
Is there any news in the Amish, in Amos Miller's case?
Not yet.
Any news in the two impregnating cows guys who got locked up for no good reason?
No. That was also in Pennsylvania.
Okay, scrolling down, we got in 2020...
Is 2020 Trump back?
First he came to the GOP pressure with Gates and now Provax with his latest picks as Gray101.
I'll read these.
We've gotten to them already.
Don't stress the Surgeon General.
If RFK signed off on this, it will be okay.
I believe Nicole Shanahan was talking about Kelly Loeffler in agriculture.
That was from NetJess.
NetJess says, President Trump is using Gorka the way he used Bolton.
That's what I can...
I agree with that.
He'll seem like the rational one in the negotiations.
Jonathan G94, the picks for NSA, Deputy NSA, concern me as they have connections to Dick Cheney and Tom Cotton and British agent Sebastian Gorka.
Shouldn't be in any position in the administration and shouldn't be trusted with anything.
Junkman, I agree with Viva on the Surgeon General appointment.
The question is, how influential is the Surgeon General?
Why did Robert Barnes' opinion on Mike Benz?
What is your opinion on Mike Benz?
Saw him on with Benny Johnson.
I found very insightful.
Looking forward to the Bourbon with Barnes returning.
Bourbon with Barnes.
Robert, Mike Benz.
We very much like and respect Mike Benz.
He's the deep state connoisseur.
Do you know what a brief overview of his rough history is?
He was involved in government at one point?
Oh, yeah.
I think the best person in that space that I like is Tulsi Gabbard.
Especially if she gets the...
And we've got Jeanette Victoria in the house says, I'm a lowly psych nurse and I never fell for the COVID bullshit.
I never wore a mask.
I didn't get death vaccines.
And I totally ignored all the social distancing bull.
And I was a criminal who went the wrong way on the aisles.
Okay, we're going to get to more of that in a second.
Robert, did you hear this?
They're actually melting down.
They're actually mentally unwilled people who are blinking questions for State Department hosting in-house therapy sessions after Trump win.
It's insanity.
They're going to have a clean house.
Do you have the Cartman one of him licking the tears?
No, I'll pull that up in a few seconds.
Okay, so...
We talked about the International Criminal Court condemning Israel to...
Oh, I forget the wording now.
But they basically found that Israel had committed acts of genocide, which as per the definition of genocide in whatever act that is, I can understand how they find that.
They've issued a warrant for the arrest.
And according to the Jerusalem Post, let me just pull this up here.
I didn't hear this, by the way.
Canada will allow the International Criminal Court warrant and arrest Netanyahu gallant if they enter the country, Trudeau says.
We're one of the founding members of the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
We will abide by all the regulations of the International Court, he said, November 23rd.
Holy shit.
Words matter.
He's got a little sign behind him.
Robert, I mean, we talked about it at the time, and it's not to say that we might have been wrong, but...
You know, you weren't sold on the international binding nature of any International Criminal Court of Justice ruling.
What do you think happens?
I mean, basically, would the Canadian government actually physically arrest Netanyahu if he comes to Canada?
I mean, it was an interesting choice that Trudeau made.
He's been on both sides of so many of these issues.
I mean, how did that work out for Harris?
In Dearborn, I think she dropped about 40 points from 2020 to 2024.
Biden's margin versus her margin.
It was one of the biggest drops of any...
Like, if you knew nothing about American politics, it would be like, man, what's this little town that swung like 50 points from 2020 to 2024?
And if you know your political history, if you're a political nerd...
Then you might ask, well, what town is it?
And they tell you Dearborn, and they're like, oh, this is because of actually a political conflict somewhere else around the world.
That's the reason why.
They voted that way in Dearborn.
But if it didn't work that way, I don't know why this new strategy of trying to be on both sides and all three sides is going to work any better.
Trudeau was tribunaled already.
The chat moves too fast.
I can't read the chat.
Hold on, where was it?
Trudeau was tribunal.
I got lost if the chat went down there.
Okay, Robert, I don't think we talked...
Well, we certainly didn't talk about this because this happened midweek last week.
I forget what the red lines were that had been crossed where Biden said, that's a red line we're not going to cross.
We're not going to give this type of weapon to Ukraine.
We're not going to give tanks.
We're not going to have boots on the ground.
And it systematically basically violated every one of these red lines.
Last week...
I don't know who authorizes it, how this becomes like policy, where they authorized Zelensky to use American-made ATACMS, I forget what the actual acronym is for that, to strike Russia within Russian borders.
The Army Tactical Mission Systems, ATACMS.
It's such a great acronym.
And people are saying this is literally going to potentially trigger World War III.
And here we go.
We'll play this just here because these people are just pathological liars.
I won't play the whole thing.
This is Rogan talking about where he said, fuck you.
And people are saying, fuck you to the Ukrainian people who are fighting.
The world we're living in now.
And that's LA.
And that's New York.
And that's a lot of places that got fucked up by incompetent people.
I don't know.
I just feel safer.
Let's go here.
And that's Russia.
How are you allowed to do that when you're on the way out?
The people don't want you to be there anymore.
This should be like some sort of like a pause for like significant actions that could potentially start World War III.
Maybe that would be a good thing that we would like to avoid from a dying former president.
The whole thing is nuts.
I mean, look, I don't know.
He says, you know, they're letting him throw nukes in there, fuck them, fuck all the...
Basically talking about Zelensky corrupt government and the deep state.
But it's the legitimate question that I have.
You've got two months left of this administration.
The incoming administration was elected on negotiating the peace.
And these mother effers in the last two months with a clearly demented Joe Biden who has no idea what day of the week it is, let alone tactical weapons.
Authorize Zelensky to cross another red line, which could very well provoke a World War III.
If it hasn't already started, it's just not yet a nuclear World War III.
What is the policy, and what do you make of this, and what do you think?
What happens?
How does it play out between now and January?
Well, usually everybody stays cool when there's a change in administration, but that can't be guaranteed with this administration.
Your greatest fear won't come from Russia or Iran or China or anywhere else.
It comes from inside the Defense Department and the State Department.
So you just got to hope those people don't lose their minds or do something that could cause the rest of us to lose our lives.
That's our biggest risk still, is the people that are in the sort of gray space of the administrative bureaucratic state.
And when Trump comes in, how does it...
I mean, for a Canadian who doesn't really fully understand, he's going to come in.
You're going to have all employees of these agencies.
Who are still going to be there.
How does it work?
I mean, what do you do on day one and what can you do to get rid of these people on day one?
Well, you can get rid of the old policies in certain areas by executive order.
And reinstate prior ones that you had belief and confidence and trust in.
And then add to those ones that you believe are relevant or pertinent now.
And so you can start out with executive policy.
Then in terms of personnel, you're a little bit more limited.
There's the people you have to get confirmation for.
There's others that you hope will resign voluntarily so you can replace them.
There's others that you have to clear certain levels.
Sometimes it's a security clearance.
Sometimes it's something else in order to get a particular position.
So all of those can be hurdles and hindrances behind the scenes while you're trying to manage that.
But one of the big open questions is, can Vivek...
Can Elon Musk actually radically restructure and reform the way a major government operates in the modern age with this massive bureaucratic structure that we've imposed no matter where we're at on the ideological spectrum over the last century?
That we just keep making government bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger as a share of activity, as a share of everything, capital, you name it.
You know, you combine that.
Can you break through that?
Even somebody as creative and as inventive as people like Vivek, like Elon, like Peter Thiel, like J.D. Vance, etc.
Or is the administrative state too strong?
Or does it atrophy to such a degree that you can't make reforms?
Or do we need some sort of constitutional restructuring?
And to whom we give power in ways that are maybe a little more clear than what some prior people thought.
Some of us may have thought it was clear, but maybe it wasn't to some people now.
So it needs to be made clear now, given the hurdles that are still to be present in just trying to get any kind of basic justice done.
And during all this, as you point out, Trump is doing this while just trying to prohibit the world from blowing up.
And ideally, maybe getting a peace deal or two, getting things moving in the right direction.
And they can't even avoid messing around with that.
So it's just, we've got incompetent at every level of elite governance, and it continues to be our greatest risk.
I was going to ask you something.
I think I floated this idea, and I think you've confirmed that it's actually possible.
Biden, on his way out, there's a ton of people, I presume Mayorkas, The other guy there, Garland.
Who's the other one that I absolutely love?
Blinken. All of these people on the way out, they presumably are nervous about potential crimes, as are anyone involved in these federal agencies.
Biden can preemptive pardon everybody, like blanket pardon federal employees, blanket pardon all these people, and so they have nothing to worry about and they just resign when Trump comes in, if they don't blow the world up before then.
Yeah, exactly.
Your bigger danger is these people are not paying attention to what should be their own risk and ways to be practical and pragmatic, but instead don't see the world that way.
They see it as, oh, we're right on the eve of protecting freedom and it's all going to be lost because this country went nuts for six months.
And according to official American science, political science professors, they've looked at it and they've concluded that...
It's an unprecedented explanation for why their 13 models, 13 keys, you know, didn't work.
That instead, it was the most extraordinary corruption by a billionaire in the history of American politics, according to Linkman now, blaming Elon Musk for everything.
Because American politics is quite infamous for never being influenced by billionaires like, say, Bill Gates or George Soros.
Exactly. The striking within Russia.
Sorry, I forgot to ask this.
What's the tactical rationale?
I understand the justification they're going to say, well, we're striking military targets within Russia because all that Russia's doing is unfairly recoiling back into mainland Russia, and so we can't strike them, but now we've been given the green light.
What targets, in theory, are they actually looking to strike?
I mean, they're living in some sort of fantasy land is the conclusion I've come to.
Because, I mean, at some point, you recognize you can't win.
I mean, Kissinger came to that reality before he passed away early on into the Ukrainian conflict.
He was like, okay, this isn't going to work.
You know, it's not going to happen.
You can like it, dislike it, whatever.
But the people who are still in the State Department running these policies still think they're right around the corner from Putin collapsing and them and, you know, Vindman's Third cousin and whomever else can become defense secretary of another government around or a member of Congress.
Unbelievably so.
In the case of Vindman, that's the net effect that you end up rewarded for some of this behavior.
In terms of what's ultimately happened, nobody suffered adverse consequence for doing the dumb and crazy stuff.
Let me bring this up here, and then I'm going to bring up two things, because I saw a big red...
Thing coming on.
Rumble. Ron Schoolcraft says, I would like to see General Michael Flynn as DNI.
He was illegally targeted for destruction the first time around.
Why not bring him in again?
Hold on.
Who? Department?
Oh, that was DNI was Telsey Gabbard.
Does Flynn get any position?
Or is he too tired?
Doesn't want to have anything to do with this?
And or is he too...
I don't want to say...
Not compromised in that sense.
Has he been too tainted by the 2020 allegations, the Q phenomenon, and those things?
Is he still a viable player in this?
I think if he wants to be, yes, he is.
And I think somewhere within his military expertise, that's where I would focus, is his skill set.
And now that I just saw Ryan level up, who says, you're not a Canadian, you're a Jew living in America.
First of all, I don't know if you're talking to me, but I am a Canadian.
And I also am someone who happens to be Jewish living in America, so you're right on two of the three.
I award you no points, and, you know, that's it.
Okay, all the Ukrainians I know of here in the U.S. have so much cash all of a sudden.
A&G's Porsche Mini Mansion's Coincidence Truth Puppet.
I haven't heard that and don't know anything about that.
Just reading a humble rant.
And I think, Robert, this might be what you might have been talking about.
Let's just see if this is the meme.
Donald J. Trump is now president of the United States.
Yes! Yes!
Oh, let me taste your tears, Scott.
Your tears are so yummy and sweet.
Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness.
Yummy. Yummy, you guys.
Donald J. Trump is now...
I don't want to play that again.
Okay, that's funny.
Now, I wanted to ask you something.
Let me bring this out here.
Stop share screen.
I think I might have forgotten to ask you this.
It goes back to what you're working on.
The Key Tam Brooke Jackson lawsuit.
Before we get into the question, the Key Tam Brooke Jackson Pfizer whistleblower who was blowing the whistle back in the day, which would preclude anybody from saying we couldn't have known what we now know, so forgive us for what we did back in the day.
The government came in, dismissed the lawsuit.
What's the state of the appeal on that one?
It's pending before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Okay. Our substantive brief, they're figuring out the timing of that.
But I think all of the written briefs will be finished at some point by February or March.
So it will be in time for the new administration to reconsider before oral argument takes place in the Fifth Circuit.
It will be a Trump administration appointed official.
They'll be making decisions about how that case goes forward.
So it's going to be a little bit of a different political dynamic going forward.
We'll see if the new Justice Department is any better than the old one.
Okay, so that was what I was going to ask.
When was the next step set for?
The oral arguments, which aren't scheduled yet until the briefing is finished.
So there's zero chance any of this gets heard on the appeals before the new administration steps in?
That's correct.
Okay. Now, the old administration, Put a nail in it and they said, no, we're killing it.
Is there a way you could petition the new administration?
I mean, we could do it via social media.
It could go right in right now.
I mean, the new administration could go right in because this is their position.
The government can at any time reverse itself in a Keytank case.
And they can walk in and say, we want this case fully investigated.
We want the case to go forward.
We want the case to march on.
We're either going to join the case.
Or formally withdraw our prior request to dismiss the case, which would send it back all the way back to the beginning to start all over again.
So I think that in the case likely would proceed.
And so it would be a smart move of a new Trump administration to do.
And some of the people that would have a role in that...
You know, there's a good number of people who can look it up.
There's a range of people that can be impacted by a Ketan case.
And so who, what person, what position, what title, who would it be?
Would it be the Attorney General?
Would it be the...
Oh, there's multiple people because it depends on the underlying government agency that was defrauded as well.
So you have the Justice Department always because everything's prosecuted on behalf of the United States government by the Justice Department.
So you always have the Justice Department involved and the Attorney General as a cabinet-level official involved.
But on top of that, you can have whatever government agency got defrauded in some way or was adversely impacted in a way that was not the benefit of the deal.
That could be any federal agency.
That could be a specific federal agency.
That could be some defense department.
That could be some people with classification, some people without classification.
So that's where it can get buried.
Okay. And if the government comes back in, rescinds their killing of it, you with Brooke Jackson continue the case, or does the government say, we're going to take it up and pursue it?
It's up to them.
They can either join us or let us take the lead.
It'll be up to them.
But they could at least preclude Pfizer from prohibiting it from going forward, as they currently are, by joining Pfizer in the action.
I just saw someone says, does Viva have a summary of the Flynn fiasco?
Dude, I've got a playlist of the Flynn fiasco.
That was like my, that was part, parcel of my deep red pilling, realizing how, lied, lied.
He pleaded guilty.
Holy crap.
But in front of a judge who was corrupt, who was a conflicted, had no business.
Accepting his plea, and it was an invalid plea to accept in the first place, only after they threatened Flynn to go after Flynn's son.
They ruined the guy's life.
They bankrupted him.
You want to hear what they did to Paul Manafort?
Watch the interview with Tucker Carlson.
Absolutely wild.
So all this to say...
And this is my very discreet way of saying it.
Come January 20th, we're going to mobilize one hell of a social media campaign, a social media pressure campaign, to make the new Trump administration rescind killing that Ketan case and allow you and Brooke Jackson to go investigate Pfizer so that Trump can understand that Pfizer lied to him, they abused of Operation Warp Speed to defraud the American people out of billions of billions of dollars, and they killed people in the process.
Bada bing, bada boom.
Exactly. All right, let's see here.
We're going to go take a couple of tip questions over onto...
Now I've got to start from the bottom up because I got timed out of my position.
Gates appointed a special counsel to round up the bad elements.
Could Gates be appointed a special counsel?
Yes. But does special counsel not need to go through Senate confirmations as well if they're to be lawfully appointed?
Only if they're going to have that degree of power.
Okay. But we don't want to run into a Jack Smith unlawfully appointed special counsel.
Well, I wouldn't call it unconstitutionally appointed.
He claimed power he was never constitutionally appointed to have.
Does that make sense?
I prefer that phraseology because it's, okay, from what basis did the Constitution give this person authority in the first place?
And if you always start with that premise...
Then that's a different premise than they just tend to assume these people have power that they really don't have.
And I appreciate that, because that is to say that Jack Smith could have been appointed to exercise constitutionally lawful powers, but he was exercising powers that would not be constitutionally lawful for a man appointed the way he was appointed.
Exactly. And he could have had other people do that.
Some of the people that have justified the attacks on Trump, all of them are Trump haters, but putting that point aside, At some level, they can see that this went too far in terms of how many procedural rules they just threw out of the gate just to get Trump.
And at some point, that has to have consequence on its own terms.
It's like if you know a cop lied in 50 cases, you're going to say, well, I really hated that defendant in case number 51, so I'm going to pretend he didn't lie in that one.
Can you really do that?
Does that uphold the integrity and confidence and transparency of the legal system?
Most certainly not.
And actually, while we're on the subject of rescinding the ending of the Ketan case, up in Canada, Robert, you know that Kayla Pollack rendered a quadriplegic by the Moderna booster after having had two Pfizer shots.
The doctors told her it was in her head.
Then the government comes in and says, have you thought about killing yourself?
And I'm not trying to be funny.
They offered her maids medical assistance in dying three times.
She's surviving, and she's fighting, and she's writing a book now detailing it.
So I was on a very brief Twitter space with her, and basically the entity Belle the Cat, who's I think in our locals, well, not I think, in our locals community as well, is helping her co-publish a book talking about her ordeal.
And she's suing Moderna, and Sean Hartman's father, Dan Hartman, is suing Pfizer.
Currently in Canada, because we don't have the PrEP Act immunity, they're suing under a wrongful death type case.
And they've got indemnity clauses, but no immunity.
So we'll see where that goes.
And can you explain to people the difference?
For the most part, other than reputation, Big Pharma can't pay any verdict out of these cases.
Oh, no, well, this is...
In the States, the PREP Act...
But the government may have to pay.
The government may.
There's a way that I think they're going to say, well, you lied to us, so we're going to get out of our indemnity clause.
But in the States, you've got the PREP Act, which immunizes pharma.
And in Canada, Australia, South Africa, once we started getting the supply agreements with these pharma companies, it became clear to anyone who understood it, we didn't have legislative immunity, but they had contractual hold harmless with the government.
So the government said...
We'll hold you harmless for any damages caused by your vaccine in order to get you to produce them and distribute them.
And so it means you can sue the pharma company, and if there's a billion-dollar award issued against Pfizer, against Moderna for the death of Sean Hartman and the paralysis of Kayla Pollack, Pfizer and Moderna turn to the government and say, you agreed to hold us harmless, so now you pay the judgment, which is what the contract would mean.
What I suspect is going to happen if we ever get there is the government's then going to say, You lied to us, and we would have never agreed to hold you harmless had we known what you were actually delivering.
So because of your fraud, we get out of the hold harmless provision, and now you guys are stuck to it for whatever you can pay, and they might have the money.
Lock them up.
Lock them up if they don't have it.
Right. We'll see where that goes.
Let me bring up some more tipped questions up here.
Robert, take it easy, please.
We're not going to do a marathon tonight.
That's coming from Susie C. Robert, you're doing good.
I know you're recovering, and people were nervous.
Yeah, about 50% back, yeah.
Okay, we will take care.
We're not doing a marathon tonight.
So I'm going to go easy on Robert, but Robert wants to be here.
And I'm making sure, people, I'm not running the fighter who should, you know, we're not throwing any white towel yet.
Viva, this is from Elijah Har.
I am trying to get in touch with RFK Jr. or Robert.
I am a law student at Regent University and to have a crucial insider information on the dairy industry, can you send me an email?
That either Robert or RFK will actually look at where I can send some documents.
My family has been involved in the fight for 14 years.
I personally got through Ivanka Trump's CSS detail and put this information in her hand to give it to Trump back in 2018.
Surprise, surprise, nothing happened.
Thank you, Elijah.
I will, if Robert allows me, but Elijah, I'll send you an email for sure.
Yeah, you can send it to me, yeah.
Okay, perfect.
And we got, here, I'll bring these up here.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Bring it here.
Up and crumble.
Barnes, are you pessimistic or on Viking?
No, Robert is...
Look, guys, it's been a long week where Robert was in hospital.
Will Trump remove the Senior Executive Service?
SES, Lex Rex, 1964.
What does that mean?
Secret Executive Service.
I'll have to Google that because I don't know what that means.
Nor do I. All right, then we got...
Here, hold on a second.
Let me go to the bottom here.
Jump to recent.
Okay, Gates appointed special counsel.
We got that.
How serious is President-elect Trump about prosecuting government corruption, if at all?
Or was it just a locker-up 2.0?
Oh, no, he is.
Let's see how he fights it.
And I think there'll be a mixture of good and stronger and weaker decisions interspersed between those.
But so far, he's way ahead of where he was before any prior president.
So, you know, could I imagine 20% better choices?
Yeah. But when that's the world you're in, you're in a pretty extraordinary environment.
Okay, I'm going to read one, and then we're going to take, I think, our last subject before we head on over to the Viva Barnes Law after-party.
Elijah Hart.
No, I got that one.
Sorry. Tabarnouche, why did it do this?
RyanPD911 says, Alex Jones was on this week, saying that the left in deep state is planning a game-changing attack either before or after inauguration that will give the perception of a race-based war.
The only attack that would do this is multiple Breslin-style attacks.
That was in Russia, where they took over a school and killed hundreds of kids.
The right there would engage in the Bubba effect.
That he says they want.
Pray for our country.
Ryan PD, 9-11.
Robert, so I had on Ed Dowd on Wednesday, and he was talking about the actual fraudulently inflated numbers, giving the indication of a good economy, but Trump is going to inherit something of a turdent of economy.
The Feds are lowering interest rates, which might fuel inflation.
I can't really say I understood.
I mean, I understood it, but I think I came off a little.
A little dense when it comes to economic stuff.
What do you anticipate happening?
Come January, economy-wise, employment-wise, to the idea that Trump is going to have two years to get pretty much everything done before there's going to be the same effect that we saw after Obama's first two years with the changing of the House.
What's your perspective on that?
Yeah, I mean, I think all that matters.
But I don't look at it as a two-year window.
I see it more as there's things that you can try to put into place now that could be institutional change so that that change can reoccur and repeat itself naturally and organically.
And then you have the kind of change which is a different person at office number seven.
Then there's an institutional reform of that office doesn't exist.
You don't have that budget, you don't have that personnel, you don't focus money in that way, so on and so forth.
And then there's the other aspect that people like Vivek and Elon are looking at, which is, is everybody's incentive properly aligned?
Or is their incentive aligned in a totally distorted way?
Where you're aligned to create an excuse for just enough illness, for just enough doctors to get just enough monopoly fees.
Maybe that's what's happening in the environmental health and other spaces.
As Trump has talked about in his own way, as Kennedy has talked about in his own way.
All of these things will be coming together and will be impacting the economy, short and medium and long term, too.
While at the same time, you have Trump's genius impact at persuading people things are going great and creating their own reality.
I was skeptical he could within one term with a hostile Congress.
And an intractably hostile administrative state that he would be able to change fundamentals like median income going up over four years for the first time in a quarter century.
I was like, yeah, I mean, he's trying to do things on trade, trying to do things in that area, but that's not an easy transition typically.
But he achieved it.
So I think he's committed to dramatic change.
How much he can get away with.
How much he can do is going to be the big open question of the next four years.
Because he's looking at his whole term being his legacy and every aspect of it.
Now, I don't know how it works, but I understand that the Dems have been cramming through, is it federal court judges' appointments?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so that process, there's no confirmation process for that.
They can just appoint as many as they want?
Although there's a process that has to be approved by the Senate.
The president has to nominate.
Senate then has to either confirm yay or nay.
And how aggressive or restrictive they are about that confirmation process can either slow it down tremendously or speed it up tremendously.
But is this not what the Dems are trying to do now before the presidency is over?
They're trying to speed it out.
They're trying to get as many people through.
Before their vote is dead in the next Congress.
Okay, and so they are in fact going through that process and getting it done.
What is the limit that they can appoint for federal judges?
Just however many positions have been made available during the year.
Which is budgeted positions plus death and retirement announcements.
Okay, interesting.
And I lied when I said it was the last one.
We'll end on a funny note.
I guess it's funny depending on who you ask.
Nancy Mace.
Holy shit, what they've been doing to her in the last week because she doesn't want to be in the bathroom with a male who might happen to pass if you didn't know any better, but we know better because the person made it very public that they're a man transforming their body into a woman.
And Aaron Rupar.
Oh, am I getting the actual...
My new computer's coming soon, people, so bear with me.
Listen to this.
Raven, that's why millions of women are supporting me.
That's why we're winning the message.
And so many women now today feel more brave and have more courage because I've been speaking out.
They feel like they are going to be supported now.
We're going to see this all across the country, and we're hearing from folks all around the world, women from all sorts of countries now, coming out and supporting us in our effort.
Yeah, for the record, that trans member of Congress has said that he will actually abide by the rules and not use the women's.
I think Marjorie Taylor Greene came out with an idea.
She said, well, maybe we should just have a Democrat.
Women's bathroom and a Republican women's bathroom, and then the Democrats can just open the doors to the trans, those.
And also what AOC said about not being able to recognize, I mean, I've seen Rachel Levine.
I know that's not a woman.
So I don't understand this idea.
But, Nancy Mates, you've taken a lot of abuse for standing up for the rights of women, especially in their private spaces, and we appreciate that.
This is Erin Rupar, who you know is a, and I'm not...
Swearing for the sake of it.
Defined in the Urban Dictionary as a lying sack of shit who will say anything to promote party lines.
I know that's not a woman.
Nancy Mason's on Fox, yada yada, referring to Sarah McBride and other trans women as he.
I can't believe the crazy world that we're in.
Now, Robert, people are saying this is a red herring.
It's a distraction.
Why are we making it?
It's all theater, yada yada yada.
And I'm sitting here saying, first of all...
We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
We can talk about geopolitics, Attorney General, HHS, DNI, while also having someone vocally come out and say, it's not okay to force women, especially survivors of rape, which Nancy Mace is, to sit in the bathroom with a man, however much that man has transformed his body to look like a woman.
Good for McBride.
If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have known.
Except he made it known as a matter of politics, which is why she's in her rights to make it known as a matter of policy.
They say this is a limited issue.
It's a non-issue on the Hill.
But on the one hand, what is the status now where they tried to transform Title IX or Biden issued an executive order to acknowledge gender identity in Title IX?
That was overturned, right, on appeal?
Correct. Both courts said that was an unreasonable interpretation.
Okay. Now...
Is it a net positive or a net distraction?
I feel that this is very much empowering women to say enough is enough and I don't care if McBride looks like a woman.
He's not.
Let him use either a single stall bathroom.
I presume they have them in Congress.
Is this a distraction or is it a worthwhile fight to finally put the nail in the coffin of this transgender madness?
I think this madness had to go.
It made the country look like a...
A group of sort of crazed laughingstocks.
You know what I mean?
I mean, it wasn't a good image to be.
I mean, the Chinese were making fun of us.
Russia making fun of us.
That's not a good thing.
Absolutely. All right.
Now, what we're going to do here, people, that was going to be it.
We're going to go over to...
Let me get the link.
I know that I have NeuroDivergence as our moderator.
There's the link to Rumble.
To locals, I'm sorry.
Before you go, make sure...
Hold on.
There are 23,000 people listening, watching right now.
How many thumbs up do we have?
I don't care.
We got a lot.
We got 1,500 thumbs up.
Hit the thumbs up before you leave.
Make sure that you're subscribed.
If you're coming over to Locals, it'll be supporters only because we want...
Oh, I'm putting too many messages.
I'm spamming my chat on Rumble.
Come on over to vivabornslaw.locals.com.
But if you want to wear some merch, because I'm very silly and I always forget to...
Promote our own merch.

So, Barnes, what's your schedule for this week?
You're resting up.
Do you have anything planned?
There's a court thing I may have to do.
But otherwise, trying to get...
It's supposed to be about a month.
It's supposed to be done with all the various medications.
And not to...
Look, I'll say when I partially tore my MCL, they said it's four to six weeks.
I'll tell you something.
On the fourth week, it was like, all right, now I'm ready to get back.
So hopefully they're right about the estimate and you'll be on the mend.
