	You don't get to tell me what to think and what to do.
	You don't get to tell me what is true.
	and cooks, change the rules and you burn the books and so I don't believe a single word you say.
	You're all liars, fakes and cons, watch out and we watch you gone, so don't believe this time you'll get away.
	You want us trick, you want us numb, you want us scared and you want us stung, you want us shot and you want us fought in every way.
	You want our minds, you want our time, you want us framed up in your crime.
	I hope you know that it's time to go and we take your names.
	Cause you don't get to tell us what to think and what to do.
	No, you don't get to tell us what is true.
	You're just liars, cheats and crooks, change the rules and you burn the books and so we don't believe a single word you say.
	You're all liars, fakes and cons.
	Want you out, we we want you gone.
	So, don't believe it's time you'll get away.
	'Cause we see La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, all your lies.
	La-la-la-la-la-la, all your lies.
	You don't get to tell us what to think and what to do.
	You don't get to tell us what to think and what to do.
	All right, you get the idea, peeps.
	Five times August, liars, cheats, and crooks.
	And whoever in the chat said make it stop, you're going to wish.
	First of all, I love that song.
	I love Five Times August in the platonic musical intro as you trickle your hineys in to a Viva Fry livestream.
	You're going to wish you had that to listen to.
	Why? Because now you're getting Kamala Harris.
	Enjoy. I hope you're happy, whoever asks.
	No, no, here, here.
	No, like my father said, here you go.
	This is what you asked for, right?
	Here you go.
	Enjoy. Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
	You have the same power that you did before November 5th.
	I slowed it down, people.
	And you have the same purpose that you did.
	And you have the same...
	Boobies, apparently.
	...
	ability. To engage and inspire.
	So don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.
	Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
	Yes, people.
	I slowed that down one notch on iMovie.
	But you know what you can't slow down on iMovie?
	Again, everybody's face is asymmetrical.
	Everybody has one eye that's a little bit more narrow than the other eye.
	I don't care what you...
	Kamala's drunk.
	Right there.
	Right... Something's going on there.
	Something is going on right there.
	And I'll tell you what I think it is.
	I think it's alcohol.
	And I'm not projecting.
	There have been a couple of streams where I may have had a bit, not a big martini, but the gin might have been 47% and not 40%.
	It's happened to the best of us.
	I haven't gone...
	As wild as some people have on Twitter live streams, I'm not naming any names.
	But I can...
	And they're just words.
	They slur together.
	Like a poem.
	But the memes that have been born out of this, I believe this is the best meme that I've ever seen.
	I mean, it's so darn good.
	I wish I could do this on the internet, but I can't.
	I can only think of the ideas, put them out there.
	No, I don't even do that.
	Hennessy. She's drinking the good stuff.
	Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
	You have the same power that you did before November 5th.
	Ability. And you have the same purpose that you did.
	Wait, does she say the word?
	Ability? Say the word.
	Don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.
	How good is this?
	You have the same power.
	That you did before November 5th.
	The fact that every single person on the internet watched that video, and if you haven't seen the full 10 minutes, I found the full 10 minutes.
	Holy hell!
	You see the clip?
	You don't know where it's from.
	You just see people posting 24 seconds here, 28 seconds there.
	I'm like, where the hell?
	There was more to this.
	It's not like the campaign decided to share a drunk Kamala shares her highlights on life motivational talk, so I found it.
	It was a...
	There was a 25-minute call with this person on the internet.
	And she went on for 10 minutes, people.
	And in that, there was...
	Look, I'm not saying slurring the speech because everybody can find a clip of Trump slurring a word here and there.
	It was...
	By all accounts, I mean, the consensus is benzos and drunk.
	I've never done benzos.
	I don't know what that stands for.
	Benzoprene? I'm epileptic.
	I'm forced to take benzos, kind of like Xanax, every day.
	If I'm drunk...
	This is it.
	I've never taken a Benzo.
	I've never taken a Xanax.
	I've actually never taken any of those things.
	But I have enjoyed a snifter of ported Christmas.
	Anyhow, hilarious.
	And I kind of feel bad.
	Look, I'm not trying to be holier than thou.
	I feel bad for people who don't even know to feel bad for themselves.
	And the fact that everybody on the internet had the same response watching that video.
	Shows you that there's something of a universal appreciation for reality in that video.
	But, look, I very much like Russell Brand and full stop.
	I think he's a sincerely good person who tries to see the good in people.
	And I think it might be to overcompensate or compensate for the things that he's done in his life that I'm sure he regrets and that he feels bad for.
	Listen to the book or read the book Recovery.
	By Russell Brandon.
	And I think you'll get to know him a lot better.
	He puts out a tweet.
	And I don't think he's virtue signaling for the sake of virtue signaling.
	I think he genuinely tries to see the best in everyone out there.
	And he said, I think Kamala Harris is a very kind person.
	However, I didn't think she's a competent one.
	To which I had to...
	Maybe he doesn't know.
	You know, the whole stories of her being a crazy biatch, firing staff, turnover staff, withholding exculpatory evidence from people rotting in jail.
	That's not kind.
	That's evil.
	And I just have to say, it's nice to be forgiving, to try to see the best in others.
	But by all accounts, she's not a kind person.
	By all accounts, she is an evil, incompetent, and lazy biatch.
	And now I've figured out how to use the word bitch on the internet without getting into trouble.
	You can say biatch because I can pretend to be British.
	All right, people, good evening, and how goes the battle?
	It's been one heck of a day.
	This morning we shot an episode of The Unusual Suspects, which is premiering, airing at 6 o'clock.
	We're going to overlap, but we're going to have to deal with that.
	And then I was on with Alex Jones.
	I don't know who saw that, but I hope it was good.
	It felt good.
	We talked about some important stuff that I want to talk about.
	And now we're doing this.
	And we're getting Ezra Levant from Rebel News on.
	He'll be on in like 5.15, give or take, to talk about what's going on in Canada because there's a lot of stuff going on in Canada.
	Transgender madness, burning buildings, arresting journalists.
	But before we get into any of that, we've had our good, we've had our bad, and now we're going to thank our sponsors, which I forgot to do yesterday.
	These were the sponsors from yesterday's show, but we're going to do them today.
	And people, you see that?
	Oh, it smells flippin' delicious.
	That's $17.75 coffee, peeps, because it's good stuff.

	Oh lordy, lordy, lordy.
	So I should touch on one story.
	We'll start with one story before.
	We get live.
	Let me see this here.
	I just, I get caught by some of the bold, the caps.
	Viva, I've never caught you live, but thank you for your work, time, and voice.
	Samantha, you've never caught me live?
	You must be in Australia, if I'm guessing.
	I have no idea.
	Where are you, Samantha?
	In what country, geographic location, time zone, are you located?
	Let me see what we've got up here.
	Okay, we're going to get there.
	Who doesn't like bison testicles, says Steph Fran.
	By the way, if you're new to the channel, looks like we might have some streaming issue on Twitter.
	We start live on YouTube, Rumble, Twitter, and vivabarnslaw.locals.com.
	And then we vote with our feet and our dollars.
	And much like 1775 and Be Naked are Rumble partners, we support the parallel economy by voting with our eyeballs, voting with our feet, and voting with our wallets.
	And so we head over to Rumble and then we have a little after party on VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
	Where are you, Samantha?
	Alright, speaking of perverted insanity, a lot of you have been asking me about this story, and now I'm sufficiently caught up on the details to know what the hell is going on, but I did have it on the backdrop here.
	Here we go.
	I don't know the names, so we'll bring it.
	This is a story that's going to dovetail into what we're talking about today.
	And certainly what I talked about on The Unusual Suspects, watch it, it's going to be a banger of an episode, 6 o'clock, Unusual Suspects on Commitube.
	You had been asking about this case about the California father who lost the suit over child's gender-affirming care.
	You will notice a trend here that in the context of divorces and the more acrimonious, the more likely this is going to happen, you have parents using the children as tools.
	On the one hand, as tools in the court system, And on the other hand, as tools against the other parent.
	And so, oh, we can't get the article.
	I thought I could bypass that with you.
	You have the parents using the kids as tools in the court system.
	And by and large, it typically works for the benefit of the mother because the system is wildly lopsided in favor of women's rights over the father's rights.
	And then you have people using the kids against the parents as tools like, oh, I'll spoil you with whatever you want, little Timmy, who thinks he's a girl, and support your life decisions.
	Your big bad dad won't.
	And the father in that case, apparently the California courts came down and said, the mother can proceed with the puberty blockers, the gender-affirming care, the chemical castration of this child, who apparently, according to the mother, who's a pediatrician, has known that he's...
	Gender whatever since like five or six years old because his eye caught a shiny purse in a store and the mother decided the kid was trans and they went to court.
	The mother went to California where they have laws that allow for this type of what I believe to be child genital mutilation and the dad has basically been not stripped of rights but the mother's allowed to proceed with this gender affirming care and the dad has been framing it as You know, fathers losing parental rights.
	And to me, I wouldn't give a sweet bugger all if both parents were on board with this.
	It's child genital mutilation, child abuse, and whether or not both parents consent.
	The fact that the court system not only allows it but enforces it is absolute madness.
	Absolute madness.
	We'll talk about it on Sunday.
	I'm looking at the chat here.
	Okay. Hold on.
	Sorry. That is being stripped of parental rights.
	Yes, but not...
	It's not...
	Parents are being stripped of parental rights.
	It's one of the red lines in the sand that I had in Quebec, where I said, if they pass this law, I forget which one it was, we out of here at Marion.
	Because it was the law that eliminated parental supremacy as the guiding principle of the Youth Protection Act.
	And I said, Marion, when they do this, in conjunction with trans stuff.
	COVID stuff.
	We're going to be one phone call of an angry kid away calling the authorities saying my parents won't let me get a jibby jab before the government comes in and says now we know what's best for your kid.
	When they passed that law, that was the one of two lines in the sand that confirmed us to hightail it out of there.
	Alright, I see Ezra in the backdrop and I don't know that there's any reason to keep the man waiting.
	It's good to see him out of handcuffs.
	Ezra, you good to come in?
	You're showing us your hands, so at least you don't have handcuffs on them anymore.
	You're right, but I still have bruises.
	You know, they did a weird thing.
	I have an Apple Watch, and they put the handcuff on right over the Apple Watch, which was sort of weird, and so they made it really, really, like, as tight as they could get it.
	And I'm not whining, but, I mean, you're joking about my cuffs are off, but I still have bruises there because, like, the cuffs get so tight anyways, and for there to be this big...
	You know, glass and metal thing.
	I was worried the watch would break.
	Listen, I'm not crying.
	I'm just saying it wasn't really pleasant to have that thing on for an hour.
	They took me to the police station.
	They searched me.
	They did take the cuffs off finally.
	They took away my phone, my watch, my laces, and my shoes, and they put me in a 5x7 cell.
	I'm glad it wasn't filthy.
	I know David Menzies has been thrown in a really dirty cell, and I didn't want to be in a gross cell.
	It wasn't gross.
	The cops at the police station jail, they had nothing to do with me being arrested, so I wasn't going to be mad at them or mean to them.
	And, you know, I was let out in a couple hours.
	I had my phone calls.
	I talked to my lawyer.
	She said, this is really just scooping you off the street until the protest is over.
	But there's a case, Viva, and I don't know if you know it.
	It's a Supreme Court of Canada case from 2019.
	Pardon me.
	It's called Fleming v.
	Ontario. I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but it was remarkably on point to what happened to me.
	Let me just tell you this story.
	I know I'm jumping way ahead.
	You haven't even introduced her.
	No, no.
	Forget that.
	But just everybody knows that you were arrested for crossing the street to interview protesters at a pro-Palestinian protest, hauled off and then just let go later.
	But the underlying idea being that they do this to interfere with journalism at the time under the pretext of inciting a mob as if the violent mob reacting to a journalist, you arrest the journalist.
	I think everybody knows the context.
	So please go ahead.
	Yeah, and by the way, I wasn't even there to interview the mob because I had talked to them a week ago, or two weeks ago, whatever it was, and there's really nothing interesting to have to say.
	I just really wanted to film.
	They had this bizarre sort of display, like a reenactment of Yahya Sinwar's final moments.
	They had like a chair covered in blood.
	They had the initials YS on it, and they had some guy in it with like a keffiyeh as a mask.
	So I thought, this is really creepy.
	It's in a Jewish residential neighborhood.
	There's no...
	Israeli embassy nearby.
	There's nothing to protest against other than there's Jews everywhere.
	So they have this crazy anti-Semitic display that is so pro-Hamas, like they're reenacting it.
	And I just want to take photos of that because I couldn't believe it.
	And the cops, they said to me, your mere presence here.
	It's causing a disturbance.
	I said, I am not causing a disturbance.
	I'm not inciting anything.
	I live in the neighborhood, by the way.
	I really wasn't even interacting with them.
	And you could hear people shouting, Jews, Zionists!
	That was the reason.
	And that's rude for those folks to say.
	I don't think it's illegal.
	But it does become illegal when a cop says, oh, for anti-Semitic reasons, the Hamas people want the Jew out.
	I will now go enforce that.
	No, you can't do that.
	The police has to be neutral.
	And can I tell you about this court case?
	Yeah, please, please.
	And boy, it's on point.
	It's called Fleming versus Ontario.
	And Fleming was a guy who went to, it was a dispute over land.
	There was Indigenous people versus other people and protesters can't approach it.
	So it's not that important.
	But Fleming was on one side of the divide.
	And he had a big Canadian flag with him.
	And then some counter-protesters sort of came towards them, and the cops did what they are doing more and more these days.
	They are taking the path of least resistance.
	And just like on Sunday, it would have been easier to arrest me than to tamp down 20 excitable pro-Hamas people.
	With Mr. Fleming, the cops found it a lot easier just to jump him.
	Drop him to the ground, take his flag, and arrest him rather than handle a bunch of these folks who were really excited.
	And the Supreme Court ruled 9-0, which is, I mean, it does happen, but boy, that's a show of force.
	Unanimously, the Supreme Court of Canada said you cannot arrest someone who is doing nothing unlawful.
	If a guy is not breaking the law, if he's just there, you cannot arrest him because other people might.
	Get disturbed or the public crowd revved up.
	I forget the exact language of the ruling in front of me.
	So he had a successful lawsuit against him, by the way, for false arrest and police brutality.
	But the larger point was you're not allowed to just scoop someone up and arrest him because other people are excitable.
	You've got to actually do your job.
	Or don't do your job, I suppose.
	Let the beating take place.
	But you can't arrest the guy who's being lawful.
	That feels so on point with my case, except for one thing, Viva.
	I actually wasn't even part of the protest.
	Like I said, I was there.
	I introduced myself to the cop as a journalist.
	I said, I'm here to take pictures of that display.
	He actually walked me there.
	For a moment and then walked me back, one of the cops, and then let me go.
	So I clearly was at liberty, but another cop didn't like the fact that I was badgering him a bit and I was challenging him a bit.
	One of the cops said, I am the law.
	I said, you are not the law, sir.
	You're a servant of the law.
	It's a different thing.
	And then another guy...
	Sorry, go ahead.
	Let me see if I can bring this up.
	Is it going to be very small?
	I'll bring it up like that.
	Well, yeah, because you're inciting this crime and it reaches the peace.
	You're inciting, it reaches the peace.
	That's exactly what you're trying to do.
	No, because you're trying to incite me.
	You could have done it on the other side.
	You didn't need to walk over.
	Now I'm going to tell you to move over there.
	I want to get to the part where you say, I'm your boss.
	So you're refusing to leave?
	I'm refusing to leave.
	Why? Because I'm a Jew, I'm a citizen, and I'm your boss.
	I don't leave if you say Jews are around the street.
	But you know what?
	In the interest of keeping peace here and public safety, you're under arrest for preaching the peace.
	All right, there you have it.
	Sorry for the small screen, but you get the idea.
	Yeah, I mean, when I said I was a Jew, my point was, that's exactly what Hamas people were...
	I mean, I generally don't lead with the fact that I'm Jewish.
	It's part of who I am, and I am proudly Jewish.
	But my main identity is I'm Canadian.
	I'm a journalist.
	I'm a pro-freedom activist.
	And I was there in my capacity as a journalist.
	But the Hamas mob said, Zionist, Jew, get out.
	And I'm saying, no, no, no.
	I'm a citizen.
	I'm a Jew.
	And by the way, I'm a taxpayer.
	That's my neighborhood.
	I have every single right there is.
	And by the way, cops who are thinking they are high priests, they're wrong.
	They work for us, not the other way.
	I think when I said that last word, you work for me.
	Oh, that cop hated that.
	And he said, you're under arrest for breach of the peace.
	No, sorry.
	Arguing. I heard last night that that cop, his name is Officer McDuff, I heard that he has been reassigned.
	Every week he goes to this protest, because every single week there's a pro-Israel, pro-Canada march on the one side of the street, and for the last month there's been a pro-Hamas march on the other side.
	And that same cop, McDuff, is in charge of it.
	I heard last night that after I don't know, 20 million people saw his arrest of me that the Toronto police thought, well, let's just redeploy him somewhere else.
	So we'll see if that's true.
	I'm going back on Sunday, of course, because it's my neighborhood.
	Like, I go to that shopping mall.
	It's a little...
	There's a grocery store called Metro there.
	There's a Wimpy's Diner there.
	I sort of like that mall.
	It's a little tired, but it's a fit for me.
	It's my neighborhood.
	I'm not being run out of my neighborhood because a bunch of Hamas thugs say, he's a Jew, officer, get him out of here.
	Sorry, no.
	It is the analogy which many people might not appreciate.
	It's like arresting the attractive girl with a short skirt at a bar because guys are saying they're going to sexually assault her.
	I can't think of a material difference.
	People are going to say, it's a protest, everybody has to stay on their respective sides.
	To that, the answer would be, I'm a freaking journalist, and I'm exercising not just lawful activities, but constitutionally protected activities, and if they decide to sucker punch me, you don't arrest me because my mere presence there is going to get me sucker punched by a group of whatever.
	The question is this, I don't know if you knew, or if you know now, did they have a...
	Did they get permission to protest if that's what you have to do?
	Or was it sort of a spontaneous protest?
	I've heard that they don't have a permit.
	They're standing right there on the public sidewalk.
	It's not like they've booked off an area.
	And by the way, the police let some people by on the pedestrian sidewalk.
	If it's relevant, the building right next to the sidewalk is a Royal Bank.
	I'm a customer there.
	So don't tell me I can't go on the sidewalk near my home, near the mall where I shop, near my bank, because people who come in from Out of town to come and harass Jews.
	It's a Jew-baiting weekend.
	It's a weekly university encampment.
	It's like that Columbia University encampment every week.
	And the police are there.
	It's the concierge.
	There's about 100 Jews, because I say it's right in the heart of a Jewish neighborhood.
	And there's about 20 Hamas activists who come in, all from the greater Toronto area.
	There's probably 50 to 100 cops.
	So it's not like...
	Things are out of control.
	So when the cops said, oh, I'm removing you for your own safety, no, you're not.
	Even in that moment, there was a wall of cops between me and the Hamas people.
	Now, the funny thing is it's a semi-permeable membrane.
	What I mean by that is I'm not allowed to go to the Hamas people, but the cops didn't stop them from coming and swarming me and jeering me and saying, Zionists, get out, as I was arrested.
	And by the way, to arrest someone in Canada, you don't need to handcuff them.
	You don't need to slam them on the hood of a car.
	You don't need to take them to the police station.
	You don't have to publicly humiliate them.
	You just legally just have to put your hand on their shoulder and say you're under arrest.
	Let me just pull up the picture.
	If it's not yet iconic, and I think it is in full credit to M. Wickens, who captured them.
	I don't care what anybody thinks about you, Ezra.
	This is pretty badass and pretty emblematic of the times.
	I mean, I know that the cop is not waving at the protesters.
	He's, I think, raising his hand for traffic.
	Am I right about that or wrong?
	I don't know who he's waving at there.
	The traffic is coming from the other side of the picture, and we had the lights, so no traffic, which I honestly don't know what he was waving at.
	I don't think it was a political gesture.
	No, no, he's smiling, but maybe that's just because of the absurdity of the situation.
	Yeah, you know what?
	I don't think, to be fair, the cops who frog marched me out of there were not the ones, was not the Officer McDuff.
	The actual cops, other than putting the handcuffer on my watch, which was just weird, they were fine.
	You know, they were given an order and they were following it.
	Frankly, I tried to have some banter with them.
	And what are you going to do?
	You're in jail for a couple hours.
	I made a joke about where's my conjugal visit or something.
	I was just trying to keep it a little bit lighthearted.
	It's weird.
	When you're in jail, they take away your phone.
	They take away your watch.
	So you immediately lose track of time.
	And I don't know if you're like me.
	I'm sort of hooked on my iPhone and I'm always checking Twitter or whatever.
	So you're sort of in detox for a bit and you're alone with your mind.
	And I think...
	I mean, I was only in jail for a couple hours.
	It was not particularly punitive.
	I can only imagine what it's like for people like Tommy Robinson, who's a former Rebel News employee, who's been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
	He'll probably serve nine.
	And they've got him in segregation.
	He's in solitary.
	Because they say it's for his safety.
	I can only, like, after two hours, I was getting a little bit cold turkey because I had no social interaction.
	I mean, just two hours.
	Imagine nine months of solitary.
	You would go mad.
	I've interviewed a lot of the Jan Sixers who, at least a few of them, have been in solitary.
	Some of them didn't even know for how long they would be in solitary, had no idea how long they had been in solitary for.
	It's deliberate torture.
	But the question is this, first of all, let me steelman one of the criticisms because people could complain if I don't.
	People fault you for getting into these situations and then setting up a fundraiser, or not even a fundraiser, to raise funds, I guess that's what it's called, so that you can pursue legal action.
	And I can say, from a critical perspective, it's a factually true statement.
	The things happen, you go, well, then you're looking for trouble, and then you find it, and then you say, well, now I want to call on the community so I can make an example of this.
	And on the one hand, I say, If you don't like it, don't support it.
	On the other hand, the world needs this type of activism to some extent.
	You're a journalist, but it's not illegal to be something of an activist journalist, or at the very least, a proactive journalist.
	When these things happen, you need to raise awareness for this, and you need to make an example out of it.
	And then segwaying into the question is, are you going to take action, or what legal action, if you know of, against Officer McDuffie or whoever the heck else is responsible for this?
	Sure. So all I was doing there was standing on my own sidewalk, not talking to anyone, wanting to photograph an anti-Semitic display in my neighborhood.
	And that was called inciting the breach of the peace, and I was arrested for that.
	I'm sorry, that's not my fault.
	I put up today a larger video.
	I forgot that I had my cell phone on the whole time recording everything.
	And when I was arrested, I sort of lost control of my phone.
	And I sort of assumed that that video had been lost.
	But actually, it wasn't.
	We just posted again today.
	So your viewers, you can find that.
	It's pinned to my Twitter feed today, Ezra Levant.
	That's the 10-minute, 48-second video, right?
	Yeah. And you can hear every word I say.
	And I'm so, frankly...
	Submissive to the cops, I say, can I go there?
	Will you come with me?
	Thank you.
	Okay, let's go.
	And then I object when he's pushing me away, but I yield.
	I don't resist arrest.
	I was only arrested when the cop didn't like me saying, you worked for me.
	That's literally what did it.
	I was actually removed from the Hamas area by the time that happened.
	So the fact that I'm arrested for what I just described, it's not my fault and it's not my desire.
	The fact that my colleague David Menzies has been arrested five times.
	Let me tell you what those five times are.
	You probably remember the one where Chrystia Freeland, the deputy prime minister, was walking into a building, and David Menzies asked her a legitimate question about why she hadn't criminalized a particular terrorist group called the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
	And her bodyguards jumped out of the blue, slammed them against the wall, and said, you're under arrest for assault.
	Oh, David, you planned that.
	No, sorry.
	That was the one, if I'm not mistaken, there was a guy like bumped shoulders with him as he was walking and then stopped and says, assault.
	They assaulted him.
	Like they sort of ran to where he was going.
	He brushed up against them in the lightest of way, and then they said, you assaulted us.
	If it weren't for our camera there, David would probably be convicted of assault because those cops were so easily lying.
	David was arrested at the same place I was two weeks ago, and the cops arrest him for an obvious...
	I'd say three obvious reasons.
	Number one, they're woke in general, so they have an oppressor-oppressed matrix, and David is a 60-something white man conservative, so obviously he's a oppressor at rest of them.
	More to the point, path of least resistance, David's not going to fight back, as opposed to a mod of Hamas activists, many of whom are not even Canadian citizens.
	And finally...
	The political bosses, the mayor of Toronto, the prime minister of Canada, they can do the math.
	Canada has had a massive demographic change in the last 10 years.
	There's 2 million Muslims in Canada.
	Now, thank God, not all are terrorist supporters, but a number of them are.
	And Melanie Jolie, our foreign minister herself, said her riding's demographics compel her to be anti-Israel.
	Like, they're not even hiding it.
	So, let me throw one more thing to you as a counterpoint.
	We've done journalism in the UK, in Australia, in America, in France, in the Netherlands.
	Let me talk about Switzerland.
	I've gone to Switzerland every year for the World Economic Forum, and they don't credential me.
	So we applied to get in.
	They don't let us in their inner sanctum.
	So we're sort of standing outside the heavily armed castle.
	And the drawbridge comes down, and some of these VVIPs sort of walk out amongst the peasants, where me and our cameras are.
	And there are cops everywhere, and they've got serious semi-automatic rifles.
	Like, they look like counterterrorism police.
	Davos, this is the World Economic Forum.
	This is Klaus Schwab's thing.
	This is the George Soros thing, the Larry Fink thing.
	This is the masters of the universe are there.
	And there's no bodyguards there.
	Like, there's Tony Blair, former UK Prime Minister.
	There's John Kerry.
	There's, like, all these VVIPs are in the street, and you can walk right up to them.
	Like, I scrummed the CEO of Pfizer.
	I don't know if you saw that.
	Albert Bourla, right?
	Yeah. I love that.
	I'll see if I can find out while you're talking.
	How you just stumble across him, walk with him.
	I think he didn't answer very many questions.
	He didn't answer any questions.
	So we're standing out there.
	Basically, I'm calling it a drawbridge.
	There's this high security perimeter that to get in, you have to be accredited and you have all these name tags.
	And so they spend a lot of their time in the castle, I'm calling it.
	But then they come out into the town.
	It's a lovely town.
	It would be like Bam for Aspen.
	It's a Swiss Alps beautiful ski town.
	And we're out there shivering in the cold.
	And we're trying to visually ID these VVIPs.
	Some of them will chat with you.
	Senator Kerry, John Kerry.
	He'll chat.
	We probably chat with him five times every year.
	He's just coming and going.
	He doesn't care.
	He'll talk to us.
	Albert Bourla comes out.
	And I think, oh my God, I know that guy.
	And we sort of walk and scrum with him and he tries to get away from us.
	We don't block him, but we're walking right next to him.
	We got our microphone right next to him.
	And the cops, here's my point, the cops are everywhere.
	They're watching us like a hawk, but they don't say a word.
	They don't approach.
	As long as we don't touch the VVIP or threaten them, what do they care?
	It's politics.
	It's journalism.
	They don't care.
	In Switzerland, I have interviewed, pound for pound, more serious political leaders than my entire life combined.
	And the police don't do a thing.
	Here, yeah, pump it up.
	Show this a little bit.
	Yeah, I just had it on mute because it's more the...
	Yeah, you're right.
	So you can see how close I am.
	Actually, I probably inadvertently...
	Brush up against him and vice versa.
	And you can probably see the cops.
	Like, you can see some of the barriers there.
	I call that the drawbridge.
	You can see we're sort of surrounding him.
	There's actually four of us.
	I mean, it wouldn't be comfortable if you're Devil Incarnate.
	By the way, you're asking him questions, obvious questions.
	He doesn't say a word, so nobody's missing anything from the audio.
	Yeah, I asked him about myocarditis.
	I asked him about the efficacy of the vaccines.
	I asked him about product liability.
	We asked him about a 2.3.
	Like, we asked him a lot of good questions.
	He didn't say a word, but my point to you is only in Canada do you get arrested for that.
	Well, probably some authoritarian regimes also.
	I'm in the Netherlands.
	I was in the Netherlands.
	There was a riot, an anti-Semitic riot in Amsterdam about two weeks ago.
	So I flew straight to Amsterdam, and I got right into the heart of an anti-Semitic protest, and there were cops with riot shields.
	They said, who are you?
	I said, Rebel News from Canada, and my videographer showed our ID.
	They said, fine, you can go.
	Like, they were almost rolling out the red carpet.
	So that's how real liberal democracy...
	I mean, most countries in the world don't arrest journalists.
	I mean, Turkey does, and Iran does, and Russia does, and I think Ukraine does, actually.
	Canada has arrested six rebel news, me and David Menzies five times, six.
	And I'm sorry, don't tell me that's me asking for it.
	Standing on a sidewalk is not asking for it.
	And of course I'm going to fundraise.
	How else am I going to pay for my lawyers?
	Our legal fees are about half a million dollars a year.
	No, no, it's a...
	Criticism of the people issue, but I say, like, on the one end, if you don't, what they're basically saying is, shut up and sit down.
	Don't get involved.
	Well, you know what?
	During the trucker convoy, there was only one shooting.
	It was very peaceful.
	There was no violence across the entire trucker convoy.
	There was one shooting, and I think you know what it was.
	An RCMP officer in Ottawa, like, what are the odds?
	There were thousands of people there in Ottawa, maybe tens of thousands at the height.
	What are the odds that the one person who was shot by the RCMP was our reporter, Alexa Lavoie?
	Shot not with a bullet, but by a riot gun, the wadding of a riot gun.
	It was a tear gas canister, a big one.
	We all saw the wealth that it left.
	Yeah, point blank, press credentials as they're unleashing...
	And she's just standing there holding a camera.
	Like, and we're suing them, and we've got the sort of manual, like the user's manual for that gun.
	And not only did he use the gun inappropriately, you don't shoot at a person with the gun.
	You shoot into, like at the ground near a crowd.
	And second of all, he violated the standing orders.
	They only use that riot gun if things become imminent and riotous.
	It was just a noisy protest.
	So the cop violated...
	The manual.
	You don't shoot that at a human.
	And he violated his standing orders.
	There was no cause to use that.
	You keep that in abeyance for a riot.
	He shoots our...
	Now, what am I supposed to do?
	Oh, well, shucks.
	Sorry, Alexa.
	That's just how it is in Canada.
	Or do you say, not on my watch, we're going to sue these people till kingdom come, and maybe one day they'll stop arresting us.
	In Australia, we have a super reporter named Avi Amini.
	He was arrested five times.
	He would go to these Antifa protests.
	Cops would scoop him up, say the same thing they're saying to me.
	Oh, you're inciting a disturbance.
	Put him in the back of a van, drive him 20 kilometers away, and dump him on the side of the road.
	So by the time he got back to the protest, it was over.
	It was clear what they were doing.
	they were removing the guy who was causing them extra work.
	We sued them, and finally the Victoria police apologized to Avi, and now they don't touch him.
	And I just don't accept the fact that in Canada it's normalized that you can arrest or even, God forbid, shoot or handcuff or beat up journalists who are contrarian.
	And I think everyone used to know this until about five minutes ago when Justin Trudeau...
	He subsidized all the journalists so everyone is so eager not to offend Trudeau and stop the gravy train.
	We're one of the very few media in Canada that don't take money from Trudeau.
	He hates the fact he can't control us.
	You know, let me give you an example of the hatred.
	For some weird reason, Justin Trudeau nationalized the leaders' debates in this country.
	Like the presidential debates in America, he nationalized the debates for prime minister in this country.
	What? Who asked him to do that?
	In America, it's universities or media consortiums.
	That's how it's been in Canada, too.
	No, Trudeau took it over, created an agency called the Debates Commission, and stacked it with his friends.
	David Johnson, longtime family friend, Craig Kielberger, friend.
	And surprise, surprise, they banned Rebel News from attending, not from being on the stage.
	No, no, this was the one I was going to raise as one of the good law fairs that you waged that they asked for when they didn't credential Rebel News to attend the debates.
	And you say, how are you determining this?
	Oh, well, we've got we recognize it on a case by case basis.
	So they banned us.
	Well, what do you do?
	Oh, well, I better not get a lawyer.
	I better not crowdfund a lawyer because someone might call me a grifter.
	You know what?
	I'm going to fight for freedom.
	I don't care what you call me.
	The very fact that I don't take money from the government and that I'm demonetized from YouTube.
	Shows you that I'm the least compromised journalist in the country.
	So we crowdfunded the money, we hired a lawyer, we went to court, and we won!
	And by the way, we won in our name, but didn't we win for press freedom everywhere?
	The judge ordered them to credential us and said, you can't...
	Pick and choose.
	You can't select the journalists who are allowed to attend a government event.
	So two years later, they do the same thing again in the 2021 election.
	But this time, they're smarter.
	They reverse engineer their rejection letter based on that first judge's ruling.
	So in 2019, a judge says, hell no.
	You didn't give them proper reasons.
	You didn't have the rules clear in advance.
	You didn't have the right person tell them.
	Boy, they studied that.
	They must have spent $100,000 on legal advice because when they rejected us in 2021, they had like an 11-page explanation for why we were rejected.
	They had huge rules that were so intricate.
	We went to court.
	I thought, there's no way.
	They've had two years to perfect their reasons for keeping us up.
	Bam! We won.
	Again, they were ordered to credential us.
	We sent our journalists there.
	The ink on the court ruling wasn't even dry.
	Our reporters ask questions of the Prime Minister.
	He says, I don't even talk to you people.
	I'm not even going to call you a news organization.
	You spread hatred.
	He is a menace.
	And you're damn straight.
	I'm going to sue him every bloody time.
	As long as I have money to hire lawyers, I'm going to sue him or this thug cop who says, I'm the law.
	No, you're not, brother.
	And if it takes a judge to tell you that, so be it.
	I was in court this morning.
	I spent my morning in the Federal Court of Appeal.
	Why? Because five years ago, I wrote a book called The Libranos.
	I was going to ask you.
	Hold on.
	I'm going to tease it.
	Everybody, get your butts on over to Rumble because I'm going to end this on YouTube.
	I was going to ask you to update on the various lawsuits.
	Okay, I was in court this morning.
	Okay, hold on.
	Get on over to Rumble, people.
	Come on over.
	And if you're watching this on YouTube, I'll post the whole thing later.
	But hold on.
	Yes. No, not delete.
	I'm just going to remove it from YouTube.
	The LeBranos is the book you wrote, published during election season.
	And what did they say?
	They argued that it violated election...
	You can sort of see it there.
	You see where my finger's pointing?
	I don't know if you can see it.
	Let me back it up.
	Yeah, it sort of looks like The Sopranos.
	Yeah, so we called it The LeBranos, which is no one under 30 even knows what we're talking about.
	But 20 years ago, it was a great TV show, one of the classics.
	It really put HBO on the map.
	Great. Mafia drama set in New Jersey, which was great.
	So we thought, okay, let's call it the Libranos.
	And we published it coincidental with the 2019 election.
	And they accused you of having run election ads?
	Yeah. And by the way, as you may know, there are hundreds of books about Trump.
	Hundreds. You probably only know about the 20 most popular ones, but there's probably a hundred.
	In Canada in 2019, let me put it this way, there were 24 books about Trudeau, and Canada is about one-tenth the size of America.
	So there were 24 books about Trudeau.
	Only one is critical, though.
	That's right.
	I mean, I'm not saying they were all totally tongue-bats, but the CBC government state broadcaster wrote a loving book about him.
	Mine actually was the bestseller of all 24, I'm pleased to say.
	But it was also the most critical.
	And we advertised it in guerrilla marketing in a lot of fun ways.
	One of them was we had, like, it looked like lawn signs.
	It said, it was the cover of the book, and it said, buy the book.
	That's all.
	It was just that front cover.
	Yeah, here, I got a picture right here.
	Okay, this is what the...
	Buy the book, Libranos.
	Yeah, so that's where you buy it, Libranos.com.
	And buy the book, and that's what the book looks like.
	And it was really fun because, you know, that girl, people actually bought those lawn signs from us.
	We gave them away for free, but we said, please make a donation.
	So it was sort of people who were grassroots marketing.
	It did so well.
	And I took legal advice before I did that because I didn't want to be a foul of the law.
	And the law is crystal clear about books.
	If a book is sold at a commercial price, which mine was, and here's the weird part, would be published regardless of whether there was an election, then it's legal.
	The books and the promotion of books.
	So as you can see, that lawn sign was very clear.
	It just said, buy the book.
	It didn't say vote this way or vote that way.
	It can't get more promotional for a book than buy the book, unless that's code.
	That's right.
	I mean, and I did that based on legal advice.
	So, Elections Canada, they've put a dozen people on this file.
	It's been five years now.
	Today was our fourth hearing.
	We had two hearings within Elections Canada, then we had a federal court hearing.
	Today was three judges of the Federal Court of Appeal.
	For like three hours or whatever it was.
	And I walk in the room and I got one lawyer.
	That's all I can afford.
	She's a great lawyer though.
	And there's four lawyers for the government and then four sort of junior articling students.
	So there are eight.
	Bad guys.
	You can mention the name of the law firm for the government.
	They go private, right?
	Is it Gowling?
	They do both.
	They had two Justice Department lawyers, and then they had two lawyers from a very expensive base street firm called Borden Ladner Gervais.
	Ezra, I used to work at Borden.
	Borden Ladner is my alma mater in Montreal.
	I didn't know that!
	It used to be called McMaster Meehan, and then they merged together with...
	Yeah, BLG is where I...
	Great firm.
	Not cheap.
	Not cheap?
	Big? I don't think they're one of the, they call them the five sisters or the three sisters.
	It's one of the top ten firms in Canada.
	It is the top ten firm in Canada.
	And at one point, it was the biggest law firm in Canada by number of lawyers.
	Yeah, not cheap, especially the Toronto rates or the Ottawa rates.
	Yeah, I mean, they're probably paying a thousand bucks an hour.
	And by the way, the lawyers are good.
	But it's just quite something.
	You've got the largest law firm in the country called the Justice Department, but that's not good enough for you.
	So you've got two Justice Department lawyers, plus two Borden, Ladner, and Gervais private lawyers, probably billing $1,000 an hour.
	Plus you've got these four sort of baby lawyers there.
	And then on the other side of the courtroom, there's me and my lawyer.
	But there's also one other group missing, like the dog that doesn't bark, as Sherlock Holmes would say.
	Where's... The Canadian Association of Journalists.
	Where's Penn Canada?
	Where's Amnesty International?
	Where's Canadian Journalists for Free Expression?
	Where's the Canadian Civil Liberties Association?
	Because here you have a book.
	And there were two...
	Today, at the Federal Court of Appeal, there were two main issues.
	Number one, they convicted me because they said I deliberately planned the publishing of the book to coincide with the election.
	To which I said, of course I did.
	So did everybody else because it's not good marketing to sell the book either too far before when there's no election or after the election is over.
	All 24 books were published to coincide with the election, and that's not illegal.
	The law says regardless of whether there is election, I don't even know what that means, but they didn't ask me that.
	They just asked me, did you plan to coincide with the election?
	I said, of course I did.
	And so did the other 23 books.
	So they made up their own rule.
	You can't plan to coincide.
	That's not what the law says.
	And then the second thing is they said...
	This promotion of the book, that lawn sign, even though it said, buy the book, they said because it was a mean picture of Trudeau, they hated that picture.
	They said because it was negative, and the association with the Libranos was negative.
	By the way, I think he looks great there.
	I was going to say, it's actually kind of flattering, and none of them look as ugly as they are, or should.
	Yeah, I mean, I wish, I'll be honest, I wish I looked like that.
	I forget which artist did that, but it's a great job, isn't it?
	Yeah, that's Chrystia Freeland in the back.
	She looks better than she does in real life.
	Oh, yeah.
	Let me see who else I know here.
	Gerald Buds is on the far left there.
	He's since been fired.
	The guy on the far right is Seamus O'Regan.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, I see.
	Not all these people are still around, because this was 2019, remember?
	So there's...
	Anyway, some of those characters are gone, but Trudeau still remains.
	So the law says promotion of books is allowed.
	But then they said, well...
	But it's not really a promotion of a book because it's so negative about Trudeau.
	It's a de facto ad.
	Well, sorry, if you're judging the content of a book and saying only super neutral books are allowed to advertise, I mean, they were making it up.
	Go ahead.
	Where's the limit, Ezra?
	Because if I put out a podcast, which is just basically a spoken book that's anti-Trudeau during election, and I'm going to monetize it, is that the same thing?
	And if I put out a little thumbnail?
	It says, come watch my show.
	I hate Trudeau.
	I've done it.
	You are so right.
	The law was obviously written prior to the YouTube podcast digital era.
	Like, books.
	I mean, frankly, that's sort of an antique-y thing.
	Like, when, you know, in that Star Trek, Jean-Luc Picard, he would read a paper book and it was sort of, oh, wow, he's still got roots to the, you know, old Middle Earth or something.
	Like, the idea that the law covers books.
	But not digital anything.
	It shows you how goofy it is.
	But for five years, they've been hunting me.
	Now, you might say, or critics might say, well, why don't you just roll over and pay?
	And by the way, it would be smart.
	Because you know how much the fine was?
	You know how much they fined me?
	I think it was $3,000.
	$3,000.
	I can assure you we paid more than $3,000 fighting it in court.
	But... Don't you think maybe somebody should go to court and say, no, you shouldn't?
	I don't know if you remember, but I was interrogated by two 30-year veterans of the RCMP.
	Like, seriously, they brought in two extremely senior officers to grill me.
	I brought a hidden camera into my interrogation.
	And they didn't know that.
	They didn't ask me either, though.
	So I showed.
	And you can still find it.
	It's called a hidden camera.
	Almost a million people watched it.
	One of the cops says to me, why didn't you just register your book with the government?
	I swear to God he says that.
	And he says it so plaintively, like, come on, why didn't you just register your book with the government?
	I mean, you were an author.
	Just register with the government!
	You know, in Romania, during the Soviet era, you had to register typewriters with the government.
	I don't know if you know that.
	You had to take your typewriter to the police.
	And they took a typing sample because every typewriter was slightly different.
	Remember those old-fashioned typewriters that were ka-chunk, ka-chunk, ka-chunk?
	Like this letter would be slightly higher and that letter.
	So they would take a big typing sample and then they would keep that sample in the police department so if they ever saw some samizdat, some counter-regime propaganda, they could study, well, whose typewriter typed this?
	In Romania, you had to register your typewriter with the police.
	It's the old joke.
	Like, you know, in Canada, you've given up your guns and you need to register them.
	And then the joke is you got a license for that hockey stick.
	You got a license for that whatever, mate.
	You got a license to write, mate?
	He said, why didn't you register your book with the government?
	And I said, because I'm in Canada.
	That's why.
	Well, last laugh goes to them, doesn't it?
	Because I have lost three times in a row.
	The Election Commission found me guilty twice.
	Federal court deferred to them.
	When you review an expert tribunal, they have a deference.
	They say the rule of thumb is they can get it.
	Wrong, but they have to be reasonable.
	So there's a couple of different standards when you're seeking to overturn an expert tribunal like elections candidates if they're an expert in censorship.
	One is correctness.
	Did they get it right?
	But here the standard is reasonableness.
	They can be wrong as long as it's reasonable that they were wrong.
	So it's a very tough battle to overturn because there's so much deference shown by the courts to these tribunals.
	But who the hell are they?
	To suddenly be the censors.
	I'm worried I'm going to lose, but I'm going to fight until the end.
	I've got to do that.
	You know, I don't know if you know, we helped crowdfund for Arthur Pavlovsky.
	He was convicted of inciting mischief because he gave an 18-minute sermon at the blockade at the Cooch border crossing during the trucker convoy.
	He gave a sermon.
	Three times in the sermon, he said, be peaceful.
	But he was convicted, and the Court of Appeal upheld his conviction.
	We're applying for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
	We're crowdfunding.
	In fact, it's the same lawyer who represented me today, represents Arthur, because we can't stand the fact that giving a sermon, encouraging people to hold the line, is a crime.
	And if that's a crime, is your podcast encouraging them?
	A crime.
	I'm surprised I haven't gotten a letter from the government, to be very honest.
	Yeah. Archer was on, I'd say, two or three weeks ago, talking about his new book.
	But no, it's amazing.
	Americans who are watching this now, in America, they just overturned the Chevron Doctrine, which was deference to the administrative state.
	And everybody looks up to Canada and says, you have these administrative tribunals, these specialty tribunals, human rights, where they come up with...
	Wonky decisions ordering Mike Ward, a comic, to pay $43,000 for a joke.
	In British Columbia, $35,000 to a transgender employee.
	And these are specialty courts.
	They don't have judges appointed to them.
	Sometimes they're just administrative clerks who are appointed.
	And the overarching superior courts don't intervene unless it's a patently unreasonable decision from a specialty court.
	You know, the story of my life.
	I mean, there's this crazy transgender extremist in British Columbia named Jonathan Yaniv.
	You probably heard about him.
	He's a big bloke.
	Jessica Yaniv, who insisted that foreign women shave his balls.
	Yeah, and he used this BC Human Rights Tribunal to prosecute any esthetician who wouldn't touch his plumbing.
	He said, well, that's discrimination based on gender identity.
	So he actually took them to human rights.
	So we've done a lot of journalism about this guy.
	He attacked our people.
	He actually has a criminal record now of three convictions for violence.
	So we're doing a lot of journalism.
	Yeah, he calls him Jessica.
	No, I don't want anyone thinking I was serious about it.
	What's his real name?
	Jonathan Yaniv is the name he was born with.
	And there was a video where Yaniv was showing a taser or something, which is illegal in Canada.
	That's what he got the charges for, right?
	That's one of them for sure.
	So we've done a lot of journalism about him, like more than anyone else, because it's tough to do journalism about him.
	Because why?
	Well, he keeps suing us.
	He sued us in real court.
	We had an anti-slap application, had his lawsuit thrown out.
	So now he's taking us to the BC Human Rights Tribunal.
	And just to highlight that, he's taking you to courts that he knows are wildly out of control politically, like activist courts, tribunals, that he knows, they've issued the most insane rulings coming out of British Columbia, in particular the cop who misgendered a detainee, that employment case where they ordered, what was the name of the restaurant?
	Oh, it starts with an O. It was an Italian restaurant.
	Because, you know, they were calling the employee Darling and then fired him after a month because the dude was telling them how to run their business.
	So it takes you to these courts where he knows he has a good chance of getting a wild administrative court ruling and then good luck trying to appeal it or overturn it on appeal.
	Yeah. And I called the Human Rights Tribunal when I got their complaints.
	I said, you know this guy's a vexatious litigant.
	Yeah. You know he abused your rules to go after these...
	Women before, these asceticians.
	Yeah. But you're taking his complaint anyways.
	Yeah. I says, what happens if we lose?
	I got this all on tape, too, by the way.
	They said, well, we can order you to stop the discrimination.
	I said, what discrimination?
	Your journalism.
	They're saying our journalism is discrimination, and if we lose before the BC Human Rights Tribunal, they will order us.
	To cease journalism.
	What would you do?
	No, seriously, what would you do?
	There's no question.
	Actually, there is a question, because at some point, I would want to never have anything to do with that demonic force for the rest of my life.
	But they also leave you no choice, which makes it easy to make that choice.
	Our legal budget is half a million dollars a year.
	That's not normal.
	It's such a huge...
	It's our second largest cost, second only to payroll.
	If we spend X dollars a year paying David Menzies, we probably spend 3X defending him.
	And by the way, we hire bodyguards for our people to protect them against Antifa or this Yaniv guy.
	Bodyguards don't work against cops.
	When cops come to falsely arrest you, to beat you up, the bodyguards back up.
	Bodyguards will never take on cops, nor should they, of course.
	So what do you do?
	What do you do when cops beat you up?
	And what do you do when a cop shoots you?
	Like a cop shot Alexa.
	And so those who say don't sue, sorry, I'm gonna.
	For those who say you're grifting again, well, I don't take a dime from Trudeau, unlike 99% of media.
	We've been demonetized from YouTube, so I have to ask for help, unlike a state broadcaster which just takes your money.
	And by the way, I regard myself as more than just a publisher.
	I regard Rebel News as a mission.
	We're an activist organization some of the time fighting for freedom.
	We report on the news, but every once in a while we stop and try and make a difference.
	And by the way, during the trucker convoy, we helped so many people.
	We helped sort of spin off an actual charitable organization called the Democracy Fund, no relation to the American charity by the same name.
	And we actually defended 3,000 people.
	During the lockdowns from all sorts of COVID fines, to this day, we're defending Tamara Leach, the trucker, you know, the Joan of Arc for the truckers.
	We defended 55 truckers in southern Alberta emanating from the Coutts blockade.
	We're defending Pastor Arthur.
	We've been in court 16 times for him.
	And these are things that we're doing stories, and I get so angry with what I see.
	Like, we saw Arthur in April of 2020 being pushed around by the cops, and I phoned him up, and I said, I am so furious.
	I don't know if you saw that video.
	It was snowing out.
	He's feeding homeless people, and the cop comes up and pushes him.
	Stay six feet away.
	Then the cop goes up to him, pushes him again.
	Stay six feet.
	Like, he keeps...
	There's smoke coming out of my ears.
	And I phoned him up, and I said, Arthur, you have to let me lawyer up.
	He said, sure, I don't care.
	You spend your money, you know, fill your boots.
	So we set up something called Fight the Fines.
	And pretty soon another pastor who was arrested for the same thing said, hey, can I get a lawyer too?
	Okay, we got two lawyers.
	Within a few weeks, we got 50 people saying, can you help me?
	Can you help me?
	Can you help me?
	And I'm thinking, oh my God, how am I going to pay for all these lawyers?
	And then one day in a staff meeting, I said, we're going to take 1,000 cases.
	And everyone said, you're going to bankrupt us.
	But we actually worked with, we helped create, and it's at arm's length, a charity called the Democracy Fund.
	It has, to date, defended 3,000 people.
	And the fact that it took everyone, like there's another great civil liberties group in Canada called the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms.
	But they just take strategic cases.
	For a precedent here, for a precedent there.
	Democracy Fund in Canada, we went nuts.
	We took literally every single person who said, please help.
	And I was thinking, how am I going to pay for 3,000 trials?
	But put yourself on the other side of that equation.
	How's the government going to prosecute 3,000 trials?
	Well, they're going to drop them.
	From what I understand, they've been dropping a bunch.
	By the hundred, they've been dropping.
	Because you've got a hundred.
	Cases in one jurisdiction.
	Courts are backlogged anyways because of the COVID slowdown.
	You've got real crimes.
	The judge, the prosecutors are saying, you're really going to have 100 half-day trials over some foolish six feet of separation thing?
	You know what the problem is?
	The people who paid those funds already are...
	Oh, it breaks my heart.
	Breaks my heart that some people paid, that some people were too afraid.
	But 3,000...
	And that's...
	If we only took 30 cases, they would have all been prosecuted and they probably all would have lost.
	But we took 3,000 and there was a strength in numbers.
	We jammed the system.
	I wish we took 30,000.
	When I said we're taking 1,000, my whole staff said, you're mad.
	You're going to destroy us.
	You don't have the money.
	And they were right.
	I didn't have the money.
	But what I didn't know at the time was by going so large.
	We guaranteed that we would win because we jammed it up.
	The whole system is based on 90% of people taking a plea deal.
	What if no one takes a plea deal and every single one is lawyered up and says, get ready, clear your schedules because we need a full day because we're making constitutional arguments.
	So can we take 3,000 full days of court, sir, your honor?
	Oh, maybe this isn't as important as we thought.
	It was one of the greatest things I've ever done in my life.
	Ezra, before I forget, going back to Jessica Yaniv, I just want to make sure everybody understands this also.
	The women that Yaniv was going after to force them to shave his balls, wax his balls.
	I'm not misremembering this.
	They were by and large immigrant women, right?
	And religious immigrant women.
	Who were operating in their homes.
	Yeah. And so this big bloke shows up because he had tricked them.
	He signed up online using the name Jessica or Jennifer.
	And this big bloke shows up and he says, get cracking on my meat and two veg.
	And the problem is a lot of these women didn't know English very well, didn't know their rights.
	I'm terrified how many people would have succumbed to that pressure.
	Now, a lot of them fought it and he...
	Gamed the system.
	He managed to get a publication ban over what he was doing.
	So he, like a predator, hid what he was up to.
	In fact, we heard he managed to get a publication ban on another prosecution.
	We went to court pro bono publico as a friend of the court, and we managed to convince the judge to lift the publication ban.
	The judge thanked Rebel News and said, I didn't know all those things.
	The judge basically said they were tricked by Aniv.
	So he hates Rebel News because not only do we report on him, but when, I mean, would you take $5,000 and hire a lawyer in a faraway city to remove a publication ban on Jonathan Yaniv because he's being a predator again?
	That's sort of a stupid way to spend $5,000.
	But if we don't do that, who in the world will?
	And that's how I feel.
	I feel sometimes we fight battles no one else in the world will.
	Can I give you one more example?
	Oh yeah, please.
	And then I'm reminding you about the Tim Hortons guy in New Brunswick that was a while back.
	Oh, he was one of our first clients.
	If you're talking about the guy who went through the drive-thru and got a ticket for sitting in his car.
	That was, I think his name was Matheson.
	I'm trying to remember.
	That was one of our first cases.
	And I just felt so good.
	The cop was being a bully.
	This guy had a good sense to record it.
	Quick story.
	Here's what I mean about what happens when no one will do anything.
	What happens if we're all watching something unfold, but no one does anything?
	But let me give you an example.
	Canada had an indigenous justice minister named Jody Wilson-Raybould, the first Indian ever appointed a justice minister.
	And that felt symbolic.
	It felt like some sort of a healing thing.
	I mean, she was left-wing on many issues.
	I disagree with her.
	But I have to admit, even though I'm a conservative and I'm against racial quotas or whatever, I did feel good that she was an Indigenous justice.
	I admit, I sort of felt good about it.
	And then Trudeau fired her because she wouldn't bend the ethics for him and his buddies, and that was an ethical disaster.
	He replaced the most ethical justice minister in history with a guy named David Lamedi from your hometown of Montreal.
	And Lamedi was the guy who approved the Emergencies Act, the martial law, later found to be illegal and unconstitutional.
	So what a heartbreak.
	If Jody Wilson-Raybould, that...
	Principled Indigenous woman had still been Justice Minister.
	I think she would have blocked the martial law.
	Anyways, after Lamedi's Emergencies Act was found unconstitutional and illegal, he quit as an MP and he scurried off in disgrace.
	I'm pretty sure he also, I think he locked down his account and deleted some tweets.
	I'm going to go, I remember needling him.
	That's what I'm here to tell you about.
	On his way out the door, he clicked delete.
	But hang on, brother.
	That's not your Twitter account.
	That is the Government of Canada Twitter account.
	I know because it's got the gray checkmark.
	And civil servants have been running it.
	Not your partisan staff.
	Not you personally.
	That is a government archive.
	And you just push delete because you're scurrying out the door?
	And maybe you want to delete your direct messages before they become evidence in some lawsuit?
	Not that I'm the smartest guy.
	I'm definitely not.
	But I remember saying that at the time.
	What were in Lamedi's Twitter DMs?
	When was this?
	January 25th, 2024.
	I'm going to go find some other tweets on the subject.
	Well, I think I probably saw your tweet.
	I think you probably put the idea in my mind.
	And I thought, who's going to do anything?
	Is anyone going to do anything?
	Because there are rules about...
	You can't just shred everything.
	You can shred your own personal papers, and there may be some exempt papers, but you can't just shred everything in a government account.
	So we, on an emergency basis, applied to the federal court to...
	To compel him, to order him to undelete his account.
	I think there's like a 30-day window.
	Yeah, to restore it.
	And the Chief Justice himself said, I'll take the case.
	Because when you're suing a justice minister, you want your absolute most senior judge on it because, you know, that's a ballsy thing.
	Just the fact that we sued, by the time we got this emergency hearing...
	Lamedi realized he was in a pickle and he...
	It was...
	Actually, I did forget the timing of this.
	This was the day after the federal court ruling came down and declared the invocation of the Emergency Act.
	He was running away in disgrace and trying to hide his tracks.
	So we rushed to court.
	What standing did we have?
	Well, we were the only bloody people who cared.
	And no one in the government, none of the police were doing anything about it.
	So Lamedi's lawyer says, oh, Your Honor, don't worry about it.
	We've undeleted the account.
	Just let us scurry away.
	And we said, Your Honor, what's to stop him from deleting it 10 minutes after our hearing today?
	You've got to do this, this, this, this, this.
	And we went back and forth.
	And finally, Lamedi made an undertaking to have library and archives come in and take not just his Twitter account, but his signal.
	Records, too.
	He was trying to delete those.
	And we stopped him.
	We caught this crook.
	I'm calling him a crook because he broke the law.
	Justice Minister breaking the law.
	We caught him.
	We stopped him.
	And we spent our money to do it.
	Why? Aren't we a journalistic organization?
	Well, yeah, but what happens if you encounter something so insane in your journalism and no one's doing anything about it?
	Ezra. You're damn right.
	He looks so trustworthy.
	He's not believing anything incriminating?
	A fucking bow tie!
	Yeah, and so people who say, well, why are you always doing that?
	Well, because somebody bloody should.
	Someone bloody well should.
	And, yeah, I'd love it if it weren't always me.
	And it's not always me.
	There's the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms I mentioned.
	There's something called the Canadian Constitution Foundation that takes very selective cases, and those are good guys.
	But I feel like we have had to bear a lot of that burden.
	And if people say, why are you always making a fuss?
	Well, because I think maybe someone should, and the judges will have the final say, and, you know, we've won enough.
	Last example.
	Stephen Gilbeau from Montreal, former Environment Minister.
	He's the Environment Minister now, actually.
	He was Minister of Heritage for a while.
	Yeah, that's right.
	He's the one who ran through the Online Streaming Act, if I'm not mistaken.
	So he blocks me on Twitter from, again, his government account.
	Block me on your personal account, I don't care.
	But he's Heritage Minister, so he's in charge of internet policy.
	And he's bringing in all sorts of censorship.
	And he blocks me.
	Suddenly, I can't get on Twitter to follow him, to interact with him.
	And again, his personal account.
	Fill your boots.
	But why are you saying I can't access that government service?
	That would be like saying I can't go to the government website.
	Or maybe I can't call a government phone number.
	Or maybe I can't go into a government office.
	Or maybe I can't apply for a government program.
	And you're doing this for no reason or any reason, just because you don't like me.
	I sued him in federal court for blocking me.
	Oh, that's ridiculous.
	That's petty.
	What a stupid thing.
	What a waste of money.
	You're so petty.
	Really? You're fine with the government saying, I don't like someone, so I'm going to ban him from having access to government services.
	And you may say Twitter's an unimportant service.
	I put it to you.
	It's actually the most important information.
	I think it's the most important.
	It's the most transparency.
	It's the most immediate.
	And you're going to be denied from hearing a government message when it comes down if it's time sensitive?
	Yeah. So two years he fights us in federal court.
	I can only imagine how much he spent.
	We spent $95,000 on that.
	There's no way he spent less than a quarter million.
	No way.
	And then finally, on the eve of trial, he panics and he agrees to what's called a consent order.
	So it's on the letterhead of the court.
	He agreed to unblock us for the rest of his career as an MP, and he had to pay us 20 grand in cost.
	Which he sloughed off on the taxpayer.
	And the reason that's interesting is for two years he had been arguing, oh no, this is my personal account.
	Oh really?
	But now if it is, why are you using government money to pay your bills?
	Because his concession is, all right, you're right, it was a government account.
	So now I remember that because who was on the check?
	I remember you made the proper stink at the time.
	It was coming from the government coffers.
	Yeah. Oh, the check came from the government account to my lawyer.
	I tweeted that image of the check to show that he was sloughing off his cost penalty onto taxpayers.
	So that wasn't just a win against him.
	Four other cabinet ministers tried the same thing against us, going from memory.
	Marcy Ian, Yaara Sachs, Karina Gould, Bob Ray.
	He actually settled the minute I sent him a warning.
	The last three, I don't know who the first one was, but three of the scummiest people in Canadian politics.
	I won't ask you to affirm that because you still live in that country.
	They can arrest you.
	Oh, they're awful.
	Yeah, her sounds awful.
	Carrie Nagool, she's the one who posed with the...
	Holy hell, scum of the earth.
	And so we spent a lot of money on that first one.
	But look at the precedent we said.
	And now it's pretty well known in the federal government, at least, that if you're using a government account, you can't block people.
	Now, they're still doing it.
	But I tell you, whenever I hear about it, people have stopped blocking us.
	And here's the thing.
	I'm going to agree with my critics that that's a tiny win.
	Let's say it's one millimeter.
	It's not even an inch.
	But it's one millimeter in the opposite direction we've been going for 10 years.
	For 10 years, freedom has been going smaller, smaller, smaller, smaller.
	And then we stopped it and we moved one millimeter this way.
	I'm calling that a win.
	And we chastened the government.
	We bopped them on the nose and we lowered them a rung.
	And it was just like that cop who said, I am the law.
	No, you're not, brother.
	And let's get a judge to remind you of that.
	I am the law.
	No, you're not.
	That Twitter account belongs to the Justice Department.
	It belongs to the Heritage Department.
	It's not your personal property.
	And I'm tooting my own horn here.
	This is like a two-hour answer to your question, why are you crowdfunding?
	And the answer is...
	Because obviously there's a demand for what we're doing.
	I'm not independently wealthy.
	I don't have a secret benefactor.
	It's pretty transparent.
	If people don't support these little projects, we stop doing them because we can't pay for them.
	The fact that Canadians continue to pay for these legal challenges tells me that we're giving Canadians something they're not getting elsewhere.
	I support them.
	Thank you!
	It depends on which ones.
	I've supported a bunch because I agree.
	And the bottom line to all of this, by the way, and it's going to come full circle back to the beginning, you get arrested by this cop, McDuff.
	Yeah, McDuff.
	Like McDuff, like the beer is, no, the beer is Duff, not McDuff.
	It's like Macbeth.
	In Macbeth, there's a character, McDuff.
	And the last sentence that Macbeth says is, lay on, McDuff.
	And damned it be he who first calls, hold, enough!
	But you get arrested, and the bottom line is, the reason why they want to do it, and this is my thorough belief, and it's not controversial, get you out of there, and people can't document what is going on at these occupations, these protests.
	And the only ones that do, Are the Gazette or the CBC who have a vested interest in undermining and downplaying the level of turmoil in the streets of Canada?
	When the Gazette was reporting on the occupation in Victoria Square in Montreal, and they show the picture of the Queen Victoria monument, and they say, oh, you know, no vandalism.
	They deliberately did not show a picture of the bottom of the monument, which was vandalized with, like, F of Canada, all this other crap.
	So they boot you out under this pretext of keeping the peace.
	They just deny independent journalists the ability to cover.
	And people in America have no idea what the streets of Canada look like until it really pops off like Friday night where they can't hide it anymore.
	So it's a disservice to everybody.
	But I guess the bigger question is, what the hell is going on in the streets in Canada, Ezra?
	Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what's going on in the streets because I spent a little bit of time there.
	Justin Trudeau has brought in millions of people to this country from places where anti-Semitism and anti-Western ideas are endemic.
	If you bring over literally millions of people from Pakistan, Syria, Algeria, Lebanon, Palestine, if you bring over millions of them, some will say, thank God I'm out of Sharia law.
	Some will say, thank God I'm in the country of freedom.
	I want to focus on prosperity and life.
	But what?
	50%?
	20%?
	Even if 10% bring with them ancient quarrels.
	And no respect for a peaceful, pluralistic democracy.
	And it's my observation that 90% of the people in Toronto at these anti-Semitic marches, they're foreigners.
	Now, about 10% are woke university types.
	In Montreal, there's a larger percentage of socialist extremist Antifa.
	There's a lot of Antifa.
	Some of that's unionized money.
	But it's a combination of the hard left, black bloc Antifa, and Hamas and friends.
	And suddenly we have street gangs of thousands of people.
	And our police could deal with them.
	They don't want to.
	But they're not allowed to because the politicians, they don't dare poke the dragon.
	It's a lot easier to arrest a guy like me.
	It's an amazing thing.
	I don't think people appreciate this statistic and take it for what it's worth.
	5% of the population of Canada is Muslim.
	Over 2% is Sikh.
	And it's not to say that...
	I forget what movie it was, but the bottom line of the movie is it's like an Eastern European guy and a Western European guy, and they move to another country.
	And the end scene is they're both fighting each other in a hospital.
	They're like 85 years old fighting each other in the hospital of the new country to which they emigrated because they brought over their quarrels of ages past from their own countries.
	And this turmoil exists whether people want to admit it or not or whether or not they think it's racist or whatever phobic to say.
	It does.
	And if you had people reporting on this and making it known to be the problem that it is, it would cause a problem in terms of policy in Canada.
	It seems like for a second Trudeau understood that and put a halt on his immigration open borders, blamed it on schools and blamed it on companies.
	But by shutting you up...
	And leaving the only access to these events being the very same media that's reliant on the government not to blow the lid on the problem.
	They're controlling messaging very effectively.
	Well, we mentioned Tommy Robinson.
	He is in jail in part for focusing on these issues.
	And I saw an astonishing statistic.
	Actually, I heard it from Pierre Pauly the other day.
	Canada's population is 42 million, which is very large.
	4.9 million people are on temporary visas set to expire at the end of 2025.
	More than 10% of Canadians are not just temporary.
	They have to go in 13 months.
	They're not being deported.
	That would be like a dozen jumbo jets every day.
	Trudeau has...
	Crammed in as many people as possible for various reasons, including political reasons.
	And it is terrifying to me to see people calling for the final solution, intifada, which means it's the Arabic work for an anti-Semitic riot, absolutely dominating the public square.
	When they block roads, they're not doing it to persuade.
	They're doing it to show dominance.
	We're the new bosses now.
	This is how the new rules are now.
	And I find it terrifying.
	And they find allies in the institutions.
	Canada's in a tough place right now.
	Do you know the guy who's on trial right now, the media is still calling him a her, Mohamed Al-Balouz?
	This is the guy who stabbed his wife to death, drowned two children, and has discovered his transgenderism in the interim.
	I heard about that.
	Yeah, the Gazette's calling him her.
	The reason why I say the name is relevant to some extent, only insofar as...
	You focus a lot on the anti-Semitism.
	I mean, the protests have been, you know, that focused for a long time.
	People say Ezra's Jewish, so that's going to be his blind spot, and Viva's Jewish, and so that's what he's...
	I take a broader perspective as to say, like, traditional Western values, and I know you do as well.
	It's not to pigeonhole you.
	And I say, like, when this guy, Mohammed al-Balouz, murders his wife and two children, his wife was a white French-Canadian woman.
	It's an honor killing.
	I don't know the context, but I get suspicious when they get their state-funded media to start referring to him as a her so that nobody even knows it was a man, let alone a man whose name was Mohammed Al-Balouz.
	And we don't know the circumstance.
	I don't even know if this guy was a legal or illegal immigrant.
	Maybe he was a Canadian-born.
	But this is the playing with the figures, playing with the stats, playing with reality so that the actual devastating consequences of...
	Terrible policy is never fully known to Canadians.
	And then they spend time shitting on you because you're the easy target to shit on because Ezra Levant has got another website that says help me with this case and you're the easy one to pick on because you're not going to do to them what the mobs on the street would do to them if they spoke out against the mobs.
	In the UK in late July there was a Taylor Swift themed event for very young girls and A criminal burst in and started stabbing, stabbing, stabbing, murdered three young girls, injured others.
	It was the most shocking thing that happened in the UK in years.
	Imagine that.
	And there were riots that emanated from that.
	There were claims that the criminal Axel Raducana, if I'm remembering it, There were claims he was Muslim, but all the state media said, no, no, no, no.
	He's from Rwanda, but he's Christian.
	For months they said that, and then the government prosecuted anyone who said on Twitter, it's Muslims, it's Muslims.
	They jailed dozens of people who said it was a Muslim thing.
	Well, it comes out a few months later that he actually converted to Islam and had downloaded the Al-Qaeda manual and was trying to make ricin.
	And so it was such a shock.
	Known at the time of the arrest because he was in possession of these things while they were criminalizing...
	Speech as relates to potential motive.
	And they called it misinformation and disinformation and hate speech and fake speech.
	And they were sentencing people for saying things about Islam while hiding the fact that he was a Muslim convert.
	And so the control of the media is so essential.
	I gotta go, but let me wrap up on this.
	This is what I noticed when I was in Davos at the World Economic Forum last year.
	So I was there in January.
	The number one person they were terrified of was Donald Trump, of course.
	This is a European get-together, but all they could talk about was Trump.
	But very close after, it was Elon Musk, because he was allowing Trump's message to get out.
	They tried so hard to stop Trump because he's a disruptor, but because Elon Musk could allow that disruption to happen.
	They came so close.
	If Kamala Harris had won, Elon Musk would have been law-fared out of existence, just like Trump was set to be.
	Maybe he even would have been assassinated.
	I don't know.
	And we couldn't talk about these things.
	We would just be forced to live with the fake news.
	You and I would be off TV.
	But I think we've been given another chance to talk about the truth and to set the course differently.
	I am not going to take the easy path.
	And I said to Tamara Leach, the leader of the truckers who's on trial, we're crowdfunding her lawyer.
	I said a poor person could not afford a half a million dollars in legal fees.
	No, not even a regular person.
	No normal person could afford to pay the legal bills to fight like a two-year mischief trial.
	But here's the thing, no rich person would.
	If you spent your life's earnings, you know, saving a couple million dollars, you've worked 50 years, you got kids and grandkids, you saved a couple million dollars, you're going to move to the lake and leave some money behind for the kids, and you're charged with this and you have a half a million dollar legal bill, you're not going to do that.
	You're going to plead guilty, take the embarrassment, take the criminal record, because you're going to save your money.
	So no poor person could fight, and no rich person...
	Would fight.
	The only solution that could possibly work in this case is if a thousand ordinary people chip in 50 bucks each, or 10,000 people.
	Because it's commercially irrational for a company or a rich person to make that kind of a decision.
	But it's not commercially irrational for 10,000 individual people to chip in 50 bucks.
	It's not irrational.
	It's not going to harm them.
	And together, this...
	Who is it who called it?
	Glenn Reynolds said he had a book called An Army of Davids.
	We're not strong enough to take on Goliath on our own, but if enough of us come together through crowdfunding and crowdsourcing and grassroots citizen journalism, an army of Davids can solve the biggest of problems.
	And that's what I thought about when what happened to Tamara Leach.
	That's the story of the truckers.
	That's the story of Eva Frye.
	Ezra, I was going to play a game to see how long I could keep you before you had to go.
	I gotta go.
	I know.
	Thank you.
	And I will say this.
	You are doing work that very few people are doing in Canada.
	I don't know why you're still there, but you're braver than most.
	And look, everybody gets called names on the internet.
	I get called a shill for hawking my Viva Fry merch.
	Ezra, amazing stuff.
	Thank you.
	I'm going to stay alive.
	I've got to answer some questions.
	I cannot thank you enough for what you're doing, for coming on, for giving me the update, and keep fighting the good fight.
	Send me all the links that you want me to put in the pinned comments, and I'll pin them right after we're done.
	Right on.
	Thanks for having me, and all the best to your viewers.
	Keep up the fight for freedom.
	Thank you.
	Happy Thanksgiving.
	Well, you don't get it.
	It's American Thanksgiving, but happy Thanksgiving, Ezra.
	Thank you very much.
	Thanks, you too.
	Cheers. Bye-bye.
	Amazing. Amazing.
	Yeah, I was going to wait for this because I don't want to look like I'm patting myself.
	First of all, it's fantastic.
	And Ezra gave us...
	I was actually wondering, what's the latest with Yaniv up in Canada?
	Shave my balls, Yaniv.
	What's up with the Libranos?
	Because I remember that.
	What's up with Ezra and Rebel getting denied press credentials?
	That was fantastic, if I do say so myself.
	And I did, because it's true.
	All right, let me bring some of the chats up, and then we're going to go over to VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com for the afterparty.
	I'm Not Your Buddy Guy says, this boast angers me and disturbs me.
	Canada is just proving yet again how 1930s Germany.
	It's possible today.
	Those officers should resign in disgrace, but I won't hold my breath.
	They won't.
	Absolutely not.
	They think they're right.
	No one thought they were doing anything.
	This is what people don't understand.
	Stalinists didn't think they were doing anything wrong.
	Stalin thought they were really getting away with it.
	They genuinely believed that they were doing it for the right reasons and that the torture was justified.
	Crash Bandit says, Trudeau is using the tools of Joseph Goebbels.
	Control the media.
	The people get to see 1,000%, shut down the independent media, and intimidate the would-be's, and scare out the ones who were, once upon a time, brave enough to do it.
	V. Hubbard says, the whole Rebel News team are heroes.
	If not for them, we never know the truth about what is really going on in Canada, and I agree.
	Valerie Plante is an evil...
	You spelled that word wrong, André Tuchelesko.
	I'm joking.
	She's an evil witch.
	Valerie Plante, she's the one who collapsed on TV after forcing the jab on all municipal employees.
	And then we've got King of Biltong looking for some healthy high-protein stocking stuffers this festive season.
	Get some Biltong at BiltongUSA.com.
	Use promo code VIVATEN for 10% off.
	And we're doing a two-hour stream starting 1 p.m.
	Eastern, 2 p.m.
	Central. Tomorrow, Thanksgiving in America.
	We also stream Fridays, Sundays, 2 and 3 p.m. every week.
	I think the time might be off there, Anton.
	Shit-talking whilst cooking real food.
	Follow Eat at Anton's.
	And what we'll do, maybe, do I want to do this here?
	I'm going to kick it from Twitter.
	Should have done that a little while ago.
	Okay, ending on Twitter, come over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	And, you know what, we're going to go over and do the exclusive after party.
	There's some questions, there's some tip questions, and I'm going to share some insights afterwards.
	Now, I'm going to remove, not locals, I'm going to remove rumble.
	Everybody, hold on.
	What's the schedule for tomorrow?
	Oh, you should be watching The Unusual Suspects when we're done.
	Go watch The Unusual Suspects.
	For some reason, they're still only on YouTube, but it's not my platform, so I got no say there.
	The Unusual Suspects.
	Is it on?
	It's on right now, people!
	How can Viva be in two places at one time?
	Who knows?
	That's how special Viva is.
	Hold on.
	Let me give everybody the link.
	If you're not going to come over to Locals, Unusual Suspects.
	Go watch The Unusual Suspects if you're not coming to Locals.
	But I would suggest you come to Locals.
	It's not for supporters only today.
	So you can get in there and watch and come troll if that's what gets you off in life.
	Locals. Okay, bada bing, bada boom.
	And now, thank you all for being here.
	I'll be live tomorrow, I think.
	Friday? Something's happening Friday.
	Stay tuned for the schedule, peeps.
	Try to go live and that is it.
	Alright, I'm ending the rumble part of this stream and going over to locals in 3, 2, 1. Good night.
	Happy Thanksgiving for everybody who's not coming.
	It is tough to be thankful for what you've got, but to quote Joanne Baez, don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got until it's gone.
	And so be thankful for what you have.
	I'm going to do my best to be thankful and try to let go of the anger and the rage at a world gone crazy.
	But that's it.
	Okay, I'll see you guys tomorrow.
	Most likely, otherwise, locals right now.
