	You want me scared, you want me weak, you want me brain dead in a sleep, you want us trapped while you are left behind the scenes.
	You want us sick, you think we're dumb, you want us blinded, you want us drugged, you want us poor while you get more of everything.
	But you don't get to tell me what to think and what to do.
	You don't get to tell me what is true.
	You're just liars, cheats 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 want you gone.
	So don't believe this time you'll get away.
	You want us tricked.
	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...
	I hope you know that it's time to go, then we take your name.
	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 to say.
	You're all liars, fakes and crooks.
	Watch out and 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, all your lies.
	You don't get to tell us what to think and what to do.
	You're just liars, cheats and crooks.
	Change the rules and you burn the books.
	And so we don't believe a single word to say.
	You're all liars, fakes and cons.
	Watch out and 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, all your life.
	La, la, la, la, la, all your life.
	Cause we see this life, cheeks and crooks, cheeks and crooks, cheeks and crooks all your life.
	Thank you.
	I'm going to shut it here for one second and just make sure that my mic is in fact working.
	And I'm going to go over to Locals to make sure.
	Locals, at the risk of having the same problem I had on Alex Jones, can you hear me?
	Before I get into the intro rant.
	Let me just make sure everybody can hear.
	Good, good, good.
	Because I was late, people.
	We left Orlando.
	I'm not getting into the rant yet.
	Viva, shut your face.
	Just shut your mouth, Eva.
	you.
	We're starting with a laugh.
	You, you.
	Friends, you called in favors.
	You said, hey, you know, I showed up at your softball game.
	Now I need you to show up at the campaign office.
	Again, I'll say, you know, the election didn't turn out like we wanted it to.
	It's incredible.
	Certainly not as we planned for it to.
	Understand that the work we put into it was about empowering people.
	That's the spirit with work we did.
	You're gonna die, clown!
	I think that's the dilly.
	Dr. Clown PhD.
	Gotta give them credit when they do something amazing.
	You know what the problem is?
	I'm gonna bring back my camera here.
	You know what the problem is?
	I actually feel bad for her after watching an AI-generated meme of her where she actually seemed more human in AI format than she did in reality.
	Oh, oh, oh.
	All right, everybody.
	Good evening.
	Let me get into the intro rant before we get into the intro rant.
	It's Thanksgiving weekend in America, and it's been Thanksgiving week, kids off school.
	I've never celebrated Thanksgiving in America.
	I don't think I'll ever leave the house again on what is colloquially referred to as Black Friday.
	We drove up to Orlando to see my mother-in-law, who's got a timeshare thing that you can't get out of, and they get one week a year, and my goodness, she's going to make use of it.
	So we drive up to Orlando, and as we're driving, I can't understand why there is a mile of traffic for an overpass, for an exit.
	And then I don't know what store it was.
	It had two letters.
	It was a lineup to get into.
	We didn't get off there.
	We were going to Gatorland.
	We went to Gatorland.
	The shopping, to get 50% off stuff on Black Friday that you can get off online, and I get it, okay, it's a bit of an event that everybody wants to be...
	Everybody wants to be a part of it.
	It's fun to partake in Black Friday madness and wait in line to get crap that you don't need after being thankful for the stuff that you have on the Thanksgiving before.
	But the drive back today was something else.
	It's like a two and a half, maybe three hour drive to Orlando.
	It took five plus hours.
	No joke, if you didn't see the video update that I posted as we were driving back, I had to wait in line to get out of the bathroom.
	And I wasn't even doing a number two.
	I'm not ashamed if I were, but I would never do a number two in a public restroom.
	I had to wait in line to get out of the bathroom because there was such a hectic thing at the gas station.
	Oh! We got Lulu.
	Lulu Dobbs.
	Lulu Bobbs.
	Hold on.
	Lulu Bobbs.
	That reminds me of a name from...
	That's Blulu Boyle from Trainspotting.
	Not Trainspotting.
	From True Romance.
	You're right, Viva.
	She looked more human in those AI-generated videos.
	There's no question about it.
	She did.
	And it's wild.
	People, before we even get into the show for tonight, let's thank our sponsor right off the bat before we get into the rant.
	Because the rant, I'm going to rant.
	I don't know what the hell is going on.
	Like, you know, good picks, bad picks.
	And we're going to go over the picks and a bunch of other news tonight.
	5G free people.
	60% of US adults have had their data hacked or exposed.
	If you didn't know that, now you know it.
	Relying on big tech for our protection.
	That's like relying on Kamala Harris.
	To not give a hungover, drunken press conference.
	Not going to happen.
	5G Free's Faraday laptop and phone holders aren't just cases.
	They're total signal shutdown for your devices.
	Slip your gear inside and you block everything.
	EMF, radiation, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular tracking.
	All of it is gone.
	Not only does it protect your privacy, but it also keeps you safe from constant EMF exposure, which has been linked to potential health risks.
	Go to 5G Free and your devices will stay dark, secure, and protected.
	5G Free, the number five, the letter G like golf, and free like Freiheit in English.
	Free.com, promo code VIVA, 15% off.
	Protect yourself and your data.
	5Gfree.com, promo code VIVA, 15% off.
	And 5G Free is a Rumble partner, so support the parallel economy.
	And by the way, anecdote which you all know, I once, when I was practicing at a lawyer, had a client who worked as a, what do they call them?
	The pinky ring.
	Engineer for a cellular company.
	And he said, don't keep your cell in your pocket.
	It will absolutely, over time, fry your testicles.
	And don't talk on it with it to your ear.
	If you can avoid it, put it on speakerphone.
	And that man was smarter than me.
	And that was back before I got thoroughly red-pilled, bordering on black-pilled, where I didn't realize that we were being lied to at every step of the way.
	Link to the sponsors in the description.
	Share the link around before we get going here.
	All right, peeps.
	That's right.
	When I got in, I did a little bit of a test stream on locals.
	For those of you who are new, we start on YouTube, which I call Commitube, Rumble, which I call the free speech platform, Twitter, which is good, and vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	At a given point, because we vote with our feet, our eyeballs, and our dollars, we head over to the free speech platform Rumble, and then for a local's supporters-only afterparty, we have a party there where we take questions and all sorts of stuff.
	What I was trying to do was set up a supporters-only...
	Throughout the Sunday show on Locals, which doesn't seem to be a feature that is available when you stream through Studio for the Sunday show.
	When you stream through Locals exclusively, you can toggle to supporters only whenever you want.
	So I'll try to figure that out for next week, but I did a little test before going live tonight, and it does not have that option for us.
	Let us rage now, people.
	It is time.
	I said this...
	Loving someone doesn't only mean telling them they're doing good when they're doing good, unfortunately.
	It means telling them they've made a monumental mistake when they've made a monumental mistake.
	When Donald Trump appoints as Surgeon General, what's her name?
	Jeanette Nishiwat, Nishiwat, Nishiwat, Nishiwat, who was a big pharma propagandist.
	For the longest time during COVID, I don't damn you to hell for that, but I certainly say, even if you've repented, you don't get to ascend to a position of power.
	Trump has picked for DEA, Drug Enforcement Agency, one Chad Chronister.
	Now, I admit, I don't know people by names all the time, but the first thing that you do is you go look up Chad Chronister scandal.
	Or you put in the name scandal, if they're a Democrat, and you'll find some sort of disgusting sex scandal, and more often than not, you'll find it with a Republican as well.
	I put in Chad Cronister, COVID.
	I knew that this guy was a sheriff in Florida and arrested a pastor for defying lockdown orders.
	Lockdown orders, okay?
	That's bad.
	Just following the law is exactly how things happened in different generations.
	What I found is even worse and utterly disqualifying.
	Chad Cronister, sheriff.
	Who is now picked to be Drug Enforcement Agency Chief.
	Listen to this.
	This is him.
	This is disqualifying, and I'll tell you why in a second.
	In the Bay Area, we've lost law enforcement members because of COVID, something that Sheriff Chronister is very aware of.
	I put out a policy a few weeks ago that if you're unvaccinated and you have to quarantine or you get ill, you have to use your own accruals.
	If you're vaccinated and for some reason you fall ill, the sheriff's office is going to cover your time off.
	This has to be for our 4,000 employees to keep them healthy, but absolutely the public.
	We have daily interactions with the community that we serve.
	We certainly don't want to be the ones that are getting them sick.
	In the Bay Area?
	Appreciate what we just heard there, by the way.
	And again, I should be clear about this.
	There are some mistakes which are forgivable.
	There are some mistakes which, you know, you'll say, okay, fine, you got duped, you got fooled, fine.
	Mistakes of fact, mistakes of assessment are different than mistakes of judgment.
	And a sheriff coming out and saying, at a time of uncertainty, I defer to the experts and I defer to the scientists.
	Not only that, but I'm going to penalize anybody who does not submit their body to what could only be described as real-time experimentation.
	That's not a mistake of fact.
	That is a mistake of judgment.
	It's an abuse of power.
	It's a grotesque abuse of power to penalize people who don't get vaccinated to say, if you had to quarantine, you're going to do it on your own dime.
	And appreciate that.
	First of all, I never made the mistake of judgment of locking down my kids and sticking them in a room when they had COVID.
	When my kids had COVID, I ate food out of their mouth.
	I'm like, we're all going to get this together and we're going to get it over with.
	And when they were suggesting in Ontario...
	To quarantine otherwise healthy kids for merely crossing paths with someone who tested positive for COVID, notwithstanding the fact that pretty much a good number of intelligent people knew at the time that you were getting false positives up the wazoo because of the cycling rate of these bogus PCR tests.
	And so you're getting false positives and then quarantining a young child.
	They said as young as five years old, quarantine for 10 days.
	And I put out videos.
	I remember it.
	I was sitting on my frozen lake, my parents' frozen lake at their cottage.
	I flipped out a chair.
	And I said, this is absolute child abuse.
	And any parent who does this should have their children taken away from them.
	They don't get to say, well, I was just doing what the government told me, so I get to abuse my children.
	There's a difference between making a mistake, making a mistake of fact, and making a mistake of judgment.
	And Chad Cronister, wielding his power.
	As a sheriff saying, if you don't get vaccinated and you have to quarantine, you're going to pay for it.
	If you get sick, you're going to pay for it.
	But if you get vaccinated and you happen to get sick, well, then we're going to cover it.
	That's a grotesque abuse of power, almost as much as one sheriff locking up pastors for not following COVID protocol.
	And I know I have someone who I respect on Twitter say, don't blame him.
	Blame DeSantis, who issued the orders at the time.
	Horse crap.
	You know, horse crap.
	The reason why people were locked down under COVID in Quebec was because the cops did a good job issuing financially crippling fines to anybody who was out.
	The reason why it didn't work in Ontario is the police said, we're not going that far.
	Just following orders, it was the people just following the orders who were the ones carrying out these summary executions.
	So, I'm sorry.
	In as much as we like the Kash Patel pick.
	Amazing. We'll get into that in a second.
	There's no freebies.
	There's no trust the plan.
	There's no...
	He's got some 4D, 5D dimension level chess going on.
	You gotta give, you know, horse trading and racing bullcrap.
	And then, by the way, the argument that when the title is irrelevant to the transgression, that's an argument.
	But there are some transgressions that are so serious, they make you unfit for any position of power, period.
	And so, you know, he's going to be DEA official.
	He's not going to be HHS or Surgeon General.
	No, you've already bungled the Surgeon General position.
	Sorry, you did good on HHS.
	It doesn't mean you get a pass or a presumption of seven-dimensional chess for the egregiously wrong picks.
	Jeanette, what's her name?
	Nishuat, objectively wrong, disqualifying for positions of power, going for it.
	She's a nice person, from what I'm told.
	On a personal level, she's an extremely nice, you know, wonderful person.
	There's a lot of extremely nice, wonderful people who are unfit for certain positions because of the mistakes that they've made, which were not mere mistakes of fact, mistakes of judgment.
	Chad Cronister, abuse of power, unscientific thought, and penalizing people where they have to submit the most by controlling their paychecks.
	So Chad, you get a hard no from me, dog.
	It's going to have to be a hard no.
	Cash Patel, we'll get into in a second.
	Let's see what we've got.
	Here we go.
	Coragem donated.
	$30, thank you very much.
	DrearySpider over in our VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com community.
	Question for Barnes.
	What are the prospects of case against Amos Miller being dropped since Pennsylvania Attorney General flipped from Dem to Rep?
	We'll get that when Barnes gets in here.
	And I suspect he's somewhere in the back waiting to get...
	Let me just make sure I sent him the link.
	I think I sent him.
	Oh yeah, and he just tweeted.
	He'll be here in a second.
	But until such time as he gets here...
	Let's go over to the Crumble France over on Crumble and see what's going on over there.
	T1990 says, Viva and Barnes on U.S. payment processing dropping anime and manga distributors as a way to force them to adopt DEI and ESG bullshit.
	And what can be done?
	We'll talk about it.
	Cheryl Gage, at some point I might get tired of liberal tears, but not yet.
	Keep them coming.
	Then we've got Madamaxic.
	Absolutely. People fault me for decisions that I've made, but my goodness, did I never even tolerate, for the briefest of seconds, the discrimination against the people who chose otherwise.
	I also didn't submit my kids to stuff that we didn't know.
	And absolute child abuse, quarantine, isolation.
	I remember going through the Twitter and people were tweeting Facebook messages.
	Oh, I hear my child crying.
	It's like, you know what it's like?
	It's like self-torture.
	Like you think, oh my God, I'm making myself suffer.
	So there must be some value in it.
	In a way, it's kind of like, you know.
	Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which is what I think this whole, you know, a lot of this trans movement is, at least as it relates to kids.
	Parents who want to be valorized through the suffering that they impose on their children.
	Oh, it's so hard.
	Any parent who locked up their kid.
	Because they had COVID, let alone because they crossed paths with someone who tested positive, congrats, you will have some serious atoning to do in the cosmos and as relates to your relationship with your child, because they'll grow up to say, what the hell were you thinking?
	And not thinking is one thing.
	Thinking of tyranny is another.
	Silver lining, Chad Cronister is my sheriff.
	If he goes to DC, we get to elect a better one.
	And that is from Efits.
	All right, and let's bring this back out here and see what's going on in...
	Call me, too, before I lose track of...
	Let's see what we got here.
	Scrolling up, we got...
	Jaramore says, Kash Patel urges Americans to prioritize Israel in incoming FBI role.
	I don't know where that...
	That's in a quote.
	I don't know where that's coming from.
	But Kash Patel, FBI director.
	Might be more or less related to foreign policy as relates to Israel.
	And I appreciate that people have some serious issues with politicians who ostensibly, if not outright, seem to be prioritizing foreign nations over America and foreigners, foreign citizens over American citizens, whether that's Ukraine, Israel, or whatever, in their foreign policy.
	You would have to be very partial.
	And have some ideological blinders on not to see how people can get mighty, mighty pissed off at the support for Ukraine, or even if you're Jewish, for the support for Israel, much to what seems to be a correlative neglect for the citizens of America, who also happen to be Jewish.
	We got Ishigo Kurosakai says, where is the locals link?
	I sent the link up and that's it.
	Okay. Ishigo Kudosaki says, Thank you, sir.
	I thought I was going to have to watch the stream with the commoners.
	Well, I still haven't figured out a way to get the supporters only going in locals, but we'll figure it out eventually.
	All right, let me make sure that Barnes is here, and I've given him the link.
	I'm fairly certain I did.
	We got some good stuff tonight, Barnes.
	And while he does that, I sent you the link, comma, right?
	Question mark?
	Let's talk about the good news.
	Cash Patel.
	Before Barnes gets here and Barnes will pick up when we get in.
	First of all, Cash Patel is amazing.
	Cash Patel, good choice.
	Tom Homan, good choice.
	Marco Rubio, eh, arguable but not disqualifying.
	Although some people might say his war hawkish Russia stuff and his support for Israel.
	Not disqualifying anywhere on its face.
	You might disagree with it, and you might say there it's a question of trading horses to keep the Dems happy.
	Get someone in there who even the Don Lemons of the world say is a normal Republican, as they call him.
	But Jeanette Nishuat, disqualified.
	And maybe if the uproar is loud enough, I've been posting to Truth Social, but mostly the critique, so that it gets maybe to the ears that care about what I have to say.
	Which may not exist.
	Who knows?
	And Chad Cronister disqualified.
	But Kash Patel.
	Okay, Kash Patel did a podcast with Sean.
	I always get mixed up with his name because it's two first names.
	Sean Ryan.
	And go back and listen to it if you haven't seen it.
	It was a couple of weeks after the first failed assassination attempt on Trump.
	And first thing first, actually, let me play this so that any idiot...
	Who goes on Twitter and says, Kash Patel is unqualified?
	Well, I got bored listening to his qualifications as they were listed off by Sean Ryan during the show.
	Listen to this.
	I'll pull it up so we can actually, you know, just so nobody can claim to not know what his credentials are.
	This is Kash Patel.
	Ash Patel, you served multiple senior roles in government.
	Most recently is the Chief of Staff to the Department of Defense, Deputy Assistant to the President on National Security Council, and Deputy Director of National Intelligence in the Trump Administration.
	At NSC, you oversaw the execution of several of President Trump's top priorities, including eliminating al-Qaeda and ISIS senior leadership and safely You previously served as a national security prosecutor at the Department of Justice under
	the Obama administration, where you oversaw the successful prosecution of criminals aligned with al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other terror groups.
	You served as the DOJ liaison officer to Joint Special Operations Command.
	I'm guessing that's where you met Gary.
	That's right.
	That's where I learned everything.
	Since leaving government service, you have authored...
	Critically acclaimed books, most recently Government Gangsters, and authored two children's books.
	You're the founder and president of the Cash Foundation, a 501c3 that raises money for legal defense matters, education programs, tuition assistance, and...
	Financial assistance for our active duty military and veterans.
	You currently sit on the board of Trump Media Technology Group.
	By the way, anybody else out there with ADHD that's getting bored listening to this man's qualifications?
	Host of Cash's Corner on Epoch TV, and you are a senior advisor to President Trump.
	You also serve as the Senior Fellow for National Security and Intelligence at the Center for Renewing America.
	I can breathe again.
	I can breathe again.
	Quite the resume there.
	Am I missing anything?
	Yeah, you're...
	You got it all.
	Well, I should let Cash make the punchline.
	It's embarrassing to have that read to you.
	I hate when people...
	So it's embarrassing to have your slew of experience read to you because Cash Patel is...
	I would say dangerously qualified, given the people that he's going to be going after.
	And just to plug his book, shamelessly, which I'm now going to have to download and listen to on Audible.
	Government gangsters, the deep state, the truth, and the battle for our democracy.
	I wonder why they don't want Kash Patel as the director for the FBI.
	And then these idiots on Twitter say...
	I guess Trump doesn't know that there's already a Trump-appointed director of the FBI in the system.
	As if to say, you know, there's no reason for him to appoint another one.
	To which I'm saying, if you're happy with one Trump-appointed director of the FBI, then you shouldn't be disappointed or have a problem with another Trump-appointed replacing that Trump appointment.
	Except they like the Trump picks who are disloyal.
	Saboteurs to the Trump Make America Great Again agenda.
	And so they like the bad ones.
	And that's how you know that they're bad.
	But if anybody comes out and says Kash Patel is unqualified, they're idiots and should be treated as such.
	But you can go share that link if you're interested in providing the receipts.
	All right.
	Robert, sir.
	I think I'm here.
	Can you hear me?
	I can hear you.
	You're looking good.
	You're a little pixelated, but that has nothing to do with anything.
	How's life, sir?
	Surviving. That's not the answer, Barbara.
	We have to see dancing in tap and shoot.
	Okay. You are looking better and recovering.
	You're doing good.
	Okay. I'll say what we...
	On the menu for tonight, we're going to talk about Ray Epps, his lawsuit getting disqualified.
	We're going to talk about...
	I don't know about the lawsuit alleging BlackRock monopoly, but my goodness, did I have time in traffic to listen to a couple of good...
	Podcasts and breakdowns of what is beyond a monopoly of BlackRock, which we're going to get into.
	A bunch of other Trump picks, etc., etc.
	We'll go through the items when they come up.
	But Robert, while I've been ranting and raving, you heard about the most recent picks of Trump?
	I guess we can start the show by doing that.
	Am I overreacting about Chad Cronister?
	I'm not sure I know who that is.
	He's a sheriff out of Florida who has been a very pro-lockdown tyrant of a sheriff, at least by all video evidence that currently exists.
	He went after a pastor for not following the rules.
	Let me pull that up.
	But he was tapped as Chad Cronister.
	What did they call it?
	The head of the DEA.
	Chad Cronister to lead the DEA.
	I know what the DEA does, but...
	For those who might not know what the DEA does, Drug Enforcement Agency, are they purely domestic, or do they intermingle with cartels in Mexico?
	I mean, their authority is domestic, but they act internationally as well.
	Their priority would be...
	That doesn't surprise me that much, then, if he's hiring a hard-ass for that side of the...
	You're going to see this constant kind of tension between peace people and really uber-tough military types.
	And I think you'll see the same pattern with law enforcement.
	In other words, some picks that are designed to ramp up law enforcement in the Homeland Security context, in the drug context, and then efforts to re-examine law enforcement, like with the original appointment of Matt Gaetz, the appointment now, or recommended appointment of Kash Patel, and people like that.
	So what we're seeing so far is outside of the...
	Kennedy, Gabbard space, where there was really a well-developed space of people who needed to be in key positions.
	It's been a little bit hit or miss with the other positions.
	Here, let me bring this up.
	This is from the time.
	Let's see.
	How do they not put the date?
	Front and center.
	Okay, March 30, 2020.
	Florida megachurch pastor arrested for refusing to call off services.
	And then you got Florida Hill.
	Florida's Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Crotister issued a warrant for the arrest of megachurch pastor Rodney Howard Brown on Monday after he refused to cancel his PAC services and obey coronavirus social distancing orders.
	The question was going to be this.
	Do you think that that should be disqualifying for the position?
	I mean, for me it is, but I can see where Trump does not see it that way.
	That Trump's looking at what does he want to achieve with a particular cabinet office.
	And so you're seeing it go in very different directions.
	It confuses some people if you haven't followed Trump in detail.
	Because it's hard to bring together the sort of the uber macho talk with peace and no new wars.
	But that's very Trump and it's a long American tradition of that precise political combination.
	So you're going to see some...
	Tough military types, some tough law enforcement types, some tough security types, mixed in with reformers.
	And the Kash Patel is the one they've settled on, it appears to me, on the reform side.
	Because Bondi is not really a reformer.
	She might turn out to be a pretty good attorney general.
	I don't know.
	But she's not known for being a reformer, going in and taking apart corrupt bureaucracies that need to be just completely restructured.
	That's what the FBI needs.
	And Cash has written about it.
	He's worked for the U.S. Department of Justice.
	For those that don't know, his background is he came into all this as a staff member for Congressman Devin Nunes.
	And by the way, they were anti-Russia people.
	They're anti-Putin people.
	They believe a lot of dumb stereotypes that I don't agree with at all on foreign policy.
	And yet, they are still considered intolerable to the D.C. crowd.
	Which tells you just how nuts that D.C. crowd is.
	Because Nunes, who's not a fan of Russia at all, not a fan of Putin at all, was for harsher policies in terms of Ukraine.
	Yet when he saw what was going on with Russiagate, he's like, this is a bogus operation by our own government and other Five Eyes operatives.
	He just called it like he saw it.
	Same with Kash Patel.
	He just called it exactly as he saw it.
	So it also represents the continued...
	You know, inroads being made in the Indian and American communities and some other communities.
	It wouldn't surprise me if at some point, now maybe she wants to do private practice, but somebody else high up in the Justice Department, a potential appointment would be someone like Harmi Dillon.
	So you're seeing a bunch of good appointments on the health side.
	One common denominator you're seeing is a lot of people that are from India.
	And Trump did 20 points better.
	With a large number of Asian American groups, depending on where you look in the country, than he did in 2020.
	So, you know, I think that's also on his mind as to, you know, the mix and match of appointments we're going to get.
	It's not going to be a perfect set of appointments, but it'll probably be the best set of appointments we've had in the modern era.
	Well, you actually say Jay Bhattacharya was NIH?
	Fantastic appointment.
	Fantastic. You can't underestimate it.
	We could finally clean up the entire cesspool of corruption.
	That is the public health establishment that depends on their ties to royalties, their ties to working for those private companies when they leave, you know, like Big Pharma and elsewhere, the ability for the sort of the co-option and corruption of the entire peer review process for publication of scientific papers.
	There's so much reform that needs to be done there that was exposed by what took the ending altogether.
	All the bioweapons research that the U.S. is still involved in to this very day.
	And then, of course, that doesn't even get into massive reform in the food supply, massive reform in terms of big agriculture, in terms of our school lunches, in terms of what you get fed at hospitals, in the army, in the military, etc. We need massive reform there as well.
	A lot of the appointments, and I think Cash would make a fantastic FBI director.
	Very smart, very thorough.
	He's a true believer.
	He's much more of an idealist than I am about the FBI.
	I mean, my view is much more skeptical.
	I'm skeptical that an agency founded by J. Edgar Hoover could do anything but look like J. Edgar Hoover.
	But if somehow it manages, but if anybody could try to reform it and restructure it, it would be Cash Patel.
	And I was going to make a joke that you know that he's not yet on the full outs with Wikipedia because they still have a very flattering picture of him.
	They haven't picked a deliberately ugly picture like they do with people who they politically disagree with.
	And as you say that out loud, and then I sort of feel bad, maybe I'm overreacting.
	When you get Jay Bhattacharya for NIH, you got RFK Jr. for HHS, and then the people that we're sort of objecting to vehemently, I don't know, would you consider the Surgeon General to be sort of...
	From a policy reform perspective to be under NIH or less?
	Yeah, way below.
	And definitely under HHS.
	In general, it's mostly a PR position in the U.S. government.
	Okay, interesting.
	And so maybe it's a question of not sliding in the controversial reformist ones, but diluting them with ones that will placate the Don Lemons of the world.
	Does cash have a problem?
	Getting confirmed?
	Or will he have a problem getting confirmed?
	He shouldn't, but you never know with this group in the Senate.
	How much are they willing to fight Trump?
	Are they going to try to deny him all those appointees?
	Well, I mean, you never know.
	We got Walther Laufer over on ComicTube says, is U.S. Senate likely to confirm all these nominations or some of the rhinos in the Senate going to object?
	Will Trump need to horse trade?
	Ask Robert, too.
	Okay, that one we just got.
	This is from Not A Band Account, who I think, you know, what's the word?
	Oscillates between troll and legit.
	It says, Trump still backs the beautiful, life-giving vaccine.
	He will, until he wants that to be his signature, until he can get the ammunition that he needs to say, Pfizer lied and people died and they lied to me.
	That'll come.
	Viva, are you not live on Locals, unable to find the stream?
	I am definitely live on Locals.
	I'll put the link back up there.
	Okay, so we got, and I can understand now that you say it again out loud, DEA, you want law enforcement.
	I look at DEA and say I want the same reform because I look at the DEA and think Waco and think ATF.
	My own view is DEA's, I'm not for all these federal criminal laws, let local governments take care of most criminal laws.
	It's my general view.
	But within the space that we currently occupy at the national political level, that the way Trump sees it, He sees DEA as he wants to crack down on the cartels.
	So he's going to look for a hard-ass and a tough guy rather than somebody who, you know, shows respect for freedom and liberty.
	This guy doesn't.
	We got Gorilla Strength Equipment says, you guys should check out the case here in Leachfield, Kentucky.
	Cops showed up and beat a man with a fire extinguisher for trying to put out a heist fire.
	I haven't seen that, but I screen read that and I'll have a look.
	Okay, then we got Cash is the best pick yet.
	You went mute, I think.
	I can't hear you.
	Thank you.
	Still can't hear you.
	Is that just me or is it everybody?
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	So weird.
	So weird.
	Can't hear anything.
	Oh, it's going fast.
	Oh, interesting.
	I think Viva's going to hop back in here in a second.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	He's out.
	Now he's back.
	And then he's out.
	Okay, yeah, so people couldn't hear you.
	Enable microphone.
	Yeah, now I can hear you.
	I'm telling you, now look at this, I'm on the wrong side.
	It wasn't me, people.
	Okay. Can we hear me now?
	I'm in the good microphone?
	Yep, I can at least.
	I did not do anything, people.
	I'm going to blame studio.
	Something glitched.
	What the hell was I saying now?
	I totally lost track of my thought, although everyone's going to have a good laugh in the chat.
	Cash is his best pick yet.
	I have a feeling that Bondi will end up being a hindrance for Cash in regards to prosecuting corrupt FBI agents.
	So, Robert, I was listening...
	I mean, cash isn't really like...
	If you're at the FBI, you recommend prosecutions, but you don't make prosecutorial decisions.
	So at the FBI, you make investigative decisions, but you don't make prosecutorial decisions.
	That's all done with the Justice Department.
	Okay. And everybody should also know, December 2nd is tomorrow.
	That is when the new computer should be coming.
	Because I got a new computer with one...
	I don't know what it is.
	It's got a super fast...
	So we shouldn't have any problems.
	Okay, let me do a couple of rumble rants before we get going.
	Actually, before we even get there.
	Okay, so we've got the newest picks.
	Jay Bhattacharya, absolutely amazing.
	Cash Patel, absolutely amazing.
	Maybe I'm mispronouncing his name.
	There are several other in the public health space that are really good.
	Okay, and so I think that's...
	Have I missed any that we should cover since last week?
	If people want to get a little more review of the...
	Kash Patel was part of the Nunes operation, but you can get some backstory with him in Amanda Milius' documentary, Plot Against the President.
	So I highly recommend that.
	Okay, excellent.
	Now let me get to some of the chat questions on Rumble.
	Viva, you have one job, says Efforts.
	And then Mad Maxx says, the only good thing about all the bad appointments is that it will free up their current positions for someone new, and then they will get on Trump's bad side, and he will not be afraid to fire them.
	That's interesting, actually.
	Cash is currently suing DOJ FBI.
	What can he do with it?
	Robert, in that clip, the intro clip about Cash's credentials, if he has some business ties to truth, is that going to be a potential conflict for confirmation?
	No. Okay.
	What else?
	Let me get to any questions over in Locals that have to do with this before we move on to other subjects.
	Okay. Gantha says, I love you, Viva, but the speed of your technology is not the issue.
	The issue is between your chair and the keyboard.
	No, it's not.
	It's the computer.
	Gray101 says, Will Trump get rid of the COVID vaccine mandate for school children and healthcare workers?
	People are still out of work for it.
	I mean, Robert, he obviously has to end the requirement.
	Well, there's no federal employee mandate.
	Anymore outside of the healthcare environment, where the Supreme Court approved it in a limited capacity for certain Medicare and Medicaid-funded facilities.
	But beyond that, the federal mandates were invalidated.
	It's still a requirement for citizenship, for foreigners to become citizens, if anybody can believe that.
	For certain kinds of access to the U.S., for people who are not U.S. citizens, that's where there's federal rules that are applicable.
	Does he eliminate that requirement?
	Because... I think he said he's going to not only eliminate that, but reinstate everybody.
	Okay. And in terms of, I guess...
	On the military side of the equation.
	Okay. All right.
	Excellent. Let me see.
	Are bourbons coming back, says Jonathan G94.
	Any chance to get Scott Horton on?
	I've had Scott Horton on.
	He has a new, very detailed book on the Russia versus Ukraine conflict name, Provoked, How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia.
	I've had him on.
	It's a question of other...
	You know, have him back on.
	Okay. All right.
	Fine. Robert, what else do we have to cover?
	Let me get the list.
	We've got Trump dismissal and the status of his cases going forward.
	The BlackRock energy monopoly suit, which really actually raises broader and bigger questions about other aspects of our economy.
	Rumble sues California over the free speech rules that California is trying to restrict.
	Debanking became a very publicly discussed issue this past week when a prominent investor went on Joe Rogan and talked about how, in fact, what Elon Musk was experiencing, a lot of people had experienced in the last four years, which was systematic effort at debanking.
	And I represent somebody who's fighting that in St. Louis, Missouri, as we speak, for a trial scheduled for 2025.
	Because his case was sort of the beginning of the front edge of the debanking problem in the United States.
	And glad to hear him call attention to that and Rogan highlight it.
	And it needs to be a priority item for particular appointments, hopefully, to come in the Trump administration.
	Then we got Ray Epps going to suit on his defamation.
	We got the border wall in Texas getting some permission out of the Fifth Circuit.
	In terms of what the state of Texas can do to secure its own border.
	In a case we've talked about, and in a broader context of cases we've talked about, the tornado cash case that we said should prevail did prevail in federal court against the federal government's efforts to continue to suppress various forms of crypto and Bitcoin.
	I can still see people are either catching up and still saying Viva's quiet, Viva's a boomer, Viva's a millennial.
	Okay, so let's do...
	Let's do the Ray Epps and maybe we dabble with the Trump.
	Ray Epps had his defamation law.
	We'll do that before we head over to Rumble exclusively.
	Ray Epps was suing...
	This drives me crazy that Fox settled with Dominion but is still going to trial with Smartmatic.
	We'll get there because I need to pick your brain on that.
	Ray Epps was suing Fox, Tucker Carlson, some commentators for allegedly starting the alleged rumor that...
	Ray Epps is an alleged federal agent, however you want to interpret that term.
	Not an agent on the payroll, although he might have been getting some of those sweet, sweet credit cards that they were given to all the other people they try to entrap or to lure in a confidential human source, an asset, whatever.
	It's obvious, in my view, that he is.
	There's no question about it.
	Ray Epps, as you will recall, was the guy saying, we need to go into the Capitol on January 5th to the point where he was shouted down by a bunch of kids who knew better, fed, fed, fed.
	January 5th comes around.
	He's orchestrating with scaffolding man, whispering sweet nothings into another guy's ear.
	They breach a barricade, a fence barricade, a bike barricade that landed other people in jail for 15 years, especially when they considered it assault because they pushed it into cops.
	He breaches that.
	Goes into a restricted area, gets out, texts his nephew or his son, I forget which, saying, I orchestrated all that.
	No charges against him for two years.
	He was on the FBI's most wanted list, magically plucked from it.
	Two years later, after public outcry, after Darren Beattie from The Revolver, calls him out, finds out who he is.
	Then they finally charge him with one charge of a misdemeanor, nothing, to which he pleads and gets probation, not years in jail like...
	The Jake Langs of this world or the lectern guy, Adam Johnson.
	He sues Fox News for allegedly starting the rumor that he was a federal agent.
	Defamation, yada, yada, yada.
	Fox, I guess, decided to fight this one for some reason.
	They didn't decide to fight the Dominion.
	And they got the lawsuit dismissed.
	I couldn't find the actual judgment, but the bottom line, failure to state a claim, no proof of actual malice, and I guess quite clearly opinions.
	I mean, when they're saying, you know, Commentators like Tucker Carlson, who are issuing opinions, dismissed.
	But it begs the question, on the one hand, people are going to say, oh, look, he's not an agent because if he were, nobody would have settled.
	Fox decides to fight this, doesn't fight Dominion, and is still fighting Smartmatic.
	And I can't piece all three of these incompatible pieces of a puzzle together, Robert.
	What is your take on all of it?
	I mean, I get they had a hostile judge in the Dominion case that was filed at Delaware.
	So that's part of the downsides to having, you know, being organized in Delaware.
	Elon Musk himself has educated people on the risk as he himself has experienced.
	But the, and this one was, I don't know if it started out in federal court, but it ended up in federal court.
	So it ended up in front of a different set of judges than all the Biden political judges.
	And now that Biden is no longer going to be in office, it's, you know, probably reducing pressure on the Delaware political system to be overly deferential or protective of Biden or overly critical or hostile towards Trump.
	It's probably in terms of the timing of some of this.
	But what we talked about from day one is this didn't meet the definition of defamation.
	Defamation needs to be a...
	You either explicitly or implicitly make a factual claim.
	That's the first thing.
	It's got to be factual.
	Now, it can be an opinion as long as that opinion discloses a factual claim.
	But there has to be a factual claim being made.
	And not an opinion claim that is not...
	It doesn't involve any implied facts.
	And then on top of that, you needed to have actual malice, meaning that you need to know that the person who said it knew that what they were saying was a fact, knew that fact was false, and knew it would negatively harm someone else.
	And only then can you have an actionable, liable claim within the meaning of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which constrains judicial action in America.
	And so all of his allegations were just...
	Tucker having people on and interviewing and talking to people and said, by the way, this individual denies it.
	I mean, so it's like, where's the factually false claim?
	Claims, oh, the idea that I have any connections to the feds is factually false.
	It doesn't quite go that far if you read his actual complaint.
	So that was another giveaway that it was mostly for show, mostly for theater, not intended to actually get any relief or remedy.
	Because I don't believe there's been any wrong done to Ray Epps.
	So he lost.
	A bunch of other defamation cases get kicked.
	Expect a lot of them to get kicked.
	Expect all this political lawfare that they've allowed to go rampant for the last five years to suddenly start receding as the country's verdict.
	Turley said the same thing we said.
	Election Day ended up being one of the biggest verdict days in the history of American law.
	And so we'll see if the judges get the message and start walking away from a lot of these cases.
	Much as they're already starting to re-examine the D.C. federal cases and the New York cases and the Georgia cases.
	All of them, all of a sudden, a lot of judges don't seem as eager to rush Trump to trial as they were just a couple of weeks ago.
	And now that you say that, and it was also the revelation that I had as I'm looking this up, but...
	Even when it comes to the border issue cases, I'm thinking once upon a time, all the federal courts were denying a state's right to enforce laws that pertain to illegal immigration.
	And now, just like that, at least out of Texas, we'll get there in a second, they're starting to uphold a state's right to control its own borders.
	But okay, so first, someone in the chat, it was a funny joke, calling someone a Fed.
	Is an insult or defamatory.
	I mean, it was so wild.
	He was, whether you like it or not, a, what is it called?
	A single purpose public figure?
	Yeah, or a limited purpose.
	A limited purpose, sorry.
	Whether he liked it or not, a limited purpose public figure.
	So you have to prove actual malice for the statements that he's a Fed, despite all of the evidence.
	I still firmly believe this guy's a Fed, and had it gone to Discovery, I would love to see what's in his DMs as it relates to.
	Interactions with the Feds.
	Or whether or not he became a Fed in order to cut himself a sweet plea deal, but that guy was Feddy so much so that the day before anything happened, they were calling him a Fed.
	So good riddance to a stupid lawsuit.
	But how does Fox settle with Dominion and still go forward with Smartmatic?
	Yeah, I've never understood that.
	The factual claims against Fox were weak in every single case.
	So writing a huge check never made any sense unless that was a backdoor deal that was part of some other operation.
	In other words, you pay yourself.
	That happens sometimes.
	You're Rupert Murdoch.
	You're wealthy enough.
	You have enough interest in enough companies and entities.
	You can probably structure something so that you end up paying yourself and you're not actually a single penny.
	Well, and that's interesting.
	That'll come up again when we talk about the...
	The BlackRock, where when you own everything, you're getting paid by the same hand that's taking the money out of its back pocket.
	Okay, what do we do?
	Let me see.
	What time are we at right now?
	Timestamp. Oh, and by the way, okay, so everybody, before we head over to Rumble, tomorrow I've got Mel, the Village Crazy Lady, the one who did the breakdown of the Act Blue donations, but for the Republicans, we're talking about the Matt Gaetz.
	You know, a parent extortion scheme.
	Jimmy Dore did a bit where, you know, a piece where he read her tweets.
	I was like, I'll just invite her back on the show and we're going to go over that tomorrow.
	Tuesday, Sonny Johnson is coming on.
	Potentially, we'll have to see.
	Actually, I think she's had a tragedy in the family.
	We'll see about that.
	That was supposed to be for Tuesday.
	Wednesday? Hold on.
	Hold on.
	And let me just make sure that I can confirm it.
	Because it's going to be one heck of a week.
	Yes, Richard Hirschman, the embalmer, is coming on Wednesday afternoon to talk about COVID stuff.
	So it's going to be fantastically insightful.
	Robert, before we head on over to Rumble to talk about the Trump cases and everything else, are you being hauled back to work this week?
	I'm about 75%, 70%, somewhere in there.
	So as long as you get enough rest and medication, that usually accelerates it.
	I've got some judges and courts that are ordering me to appear regardless.
	Mostly, it's just painful until I get better.
	Managing the pain.
	You look less distracted by pain.
	Not nearly as bad as it was the last several weeks.
	Everyone, get your butts on over to Rumble.
	The link is pinned.
	We're going to get into the Trump dismissals.
	Okay. And then some other stuff.
	So come on over to Locals or Rumble.
	And let me just make sure I'm doing the right button now.
	Oh, I forgot to mention.
	All of this is also going to be on podcast, Spotify.
	I've linked up all of these.
	I spent so many hours trying to figure out what the glitches were.
	So the podcast version will be everywhere.
	All right, Robert.
	Jack Smith dropping or asking that the charges be dropped in the...
	D.C. classified documents case.
	And the Florida case too, I think.
	Because that one was under appeal after the dismissal.
	Listening to it, by the way, everybody needs to be reminded what the FBI did.
	We're talking about Trump's picks.
	They say, oh, Trump's FBI did X, Y, and Z. The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago with authorization to use deadly force against the former president.
	Trump splayed out evidence that they falsified themselves because the cover sheets that said classified were FBI concoctions that they put on it, splayed it out, took their photograph of so they could then leak it or at least file it, knowing it would get leaked to the media so that the media can then run around with their incriminating photo of classified documents.
	And Kash Patel highlighted what we all already know, at least those watching the show, Trump had every right under the sun.
	To take the documents.
	Under the Presidential Records Act, it was the Clinton sock drawer case, which we've talked about ad nauseum.
	He had the right to take it.
	He was president when he took it, unlike Joe Biden and unlike Hillary Clinton.
	He had the right.
	FBI abusively raids with authorization to use deadly force, falsifies evidence that they then leaked to them.
	It's exactly what they did with the Steele dossier, the Trump FBI, so-called Trump FBI.
	Okay, now that Trump has been elected, again, some might say for the third time, Jack Smith comes in and says, okay, well, we have a longstanding protocol of not prosecuting sitting presidents.
	So this goes nowhere.
	We can't get a trial before inauguration day, drop the charges.
	But at least in the DC case, they're not dropping it against the two other co-defendants, from what I understand.
	So my curiosity is, A, what do you think about all of this?
	What does it mean?
	What does it represent?
	But most importantly, what of those other two defendants, are they still going to get dragged through the lawfare ringer?
	Well, I assume Trump at some point will pardon everybody connected to all this insanity, at least on the federal charges.
	Now, that doesn't resolve any New York charges, any of these state elector charges, unless they decided that should have been allowed to be removed to federal court.
	The court reverses what happened with Meadows.
	What he could try is he could try to pardon everybody and say it applies to them and their federal duties, even if they're being prosecuted at the state level.
	But that's, I think, the next big hurdle is going to be how many people can he pardon to end these charades from just continuing to hurt the legal system by suggesting that there could be a deep state elevated legally above and beyond the reach of the elected head of the executive branch,
	which was, aside from targeting Trump, this was all about establishing a perilous precedent that the elected That even those elected to office are beneath those unelected to office.
	That's what was so dangerous about that D.C. indictment and Florida indictment as well, both of them.
	Just nonsense, insanity.
	But, I mean, what's going to happen is there'll be no case ever pursued against Trump.
	Apparently, the prosecutors trying to leave it open as a dismissal without prejudice so they could come back and re-prosecute him five years from now, which is preposterous, which shows the necessity to just pardon everybody and move on.
	I think that's ultimately where we're going to get to.
	I think in Georgia, they're going to throw out the charges because of the way the prosecutor handled it.
	I think in New York, as we predicted, no sentencing is going to take place this month.
	In fact, don't expect any sentencing to ever take place.
	That case is likely to get thrown out and never re-prosecuted.
	So I think all the criminal cases will, within a year or two, all be gone or done or dead.
	But the best way for Trump to accelerate that is twofold.
	Pardon everybody.
	Pardon and commute as many people as possible.
	I've been recommending the president really start to use the power of the pardon.
	It's a very underutilized power.
	You utilize it to educate the public on a daily basis and give justice on a weekly basis.
	It can be either daily or weekly.
	Literally every day or every week.
	So that there's a focus.
	And look at cases.
	That are political by nature.
	You look at cases, you look at that person never would have been prosecuted, but for their political beliefs and activities.
	And that's one place to go.
	Second is anywhere where there's been government malfeasance or misconduct in the nature of the prosecution, like there were all over Trump's cases.
	Highlight that in all these other cases and pardon those people as well that are not imminent risks of great harm to the American people.
	So, I mean, you've got plenty of people in that category.
	You know, pardon Julian Assange so he can travel and not worry about anything ever again.
	Pardon Ed Snowden.
	Pardon, or at least commute, Ross Ulbrich's sentence.
	Pardon Roger Ver, Bitcoin Jesus, who's still facing ongoing prosecution and extradition threats from Spain for doing things that were patently legal, not illegal, just because he stood up to the Biden administration's effort to corrupt Bitcoin.
	And if people didn't know, that's the real backstory behind why Roger Ver is being prosecuted.
	And I can find you a case a day.
	In America, of someone that got railroaded.
	And so it's time for Trump, I think, to really use the power of the pardon beyond the power of the pardon itself.
	Beyond the power it is to unleash individual justice, to create a better global deterrence towards justice by exposing how these bad cases ever got to where they got to.
	And every single time you're going to have judges not doing their job, jurors not doing their job, law enforcement not doing their job.
	Prosecutors not doing the job.
	And some combination of the four deliberately, knowingly engaged in malfeasance and misfeasance.
	And this will help educate the public so that when he pardons everybody, nobody should put up with another political charade trial again in the next four years.
	So these kind of cases.
	That doesn't mean you don't prosecute anybody that deserves to be prosecuted.
	It just means politics isn't the grounds by which you prosecute them.
	You know, who put America's civil liberties and civil rights in danger?
	Who violated those civil liberties and civil rights?
	And those people, if they did so in such a way that violates criminal law, then they can be prosecuted and probably need to be to discourage and deter others from doing so.
	But they're not being prosecuted because they're Democrat or Republican, like Trump, don't like Trump, none of that.
	They'd be solely prosecuted based on their conduct towards the civil rights of those people they didn't agree with politically.
	And whether they weaponize their offices against those individuals.
	So that's what needs to happen.
	Ultimately, we need institutional reform.
	My own view is more power to ordinary people, more power to the local level.
	As long as you have corrupt elites, you will invite corruption wherever elites hold power.
	The problem is, I feel actually stupid for not even thinking of the pardon, at least for the federal case.
	The problem is going to be, though, the pardon will always be viewed as portrayed as a...
	You know, a chummy-chummy pardoning his friends, and it'll be demonized and weaponized.
	The pardon, the act of the pardon itself.
	Trump is pardoning his...
	And that's why you need to include tons of other people.
	Like, you know, he has no ties to Roger Ver, Bitcoin cash, you know, Bitcoin Jesus, as he's colloquially known.
	He, you know, comes from a more libertarian left circle.
	There are other people.
	Russell Brooks is in the same category from the Libertarian Circle.
	So there's plenty of people that he can pardon and commute.
	Ed Snowden's been a strong critic.
	Julian Assange at various times has been a strong critic.
	In fact, in some cases, he would be critiquing his own prior administration.
	And I think he needs to.
	Because you're right.
	Otherwise, all they'll do is they'll say, this is just covering your first powers, his friends, his allies.
	You need to highlight a bunch of people that are very newsworthy.
	You know, I mean, that's where Bitcoin Jesus is easy, because you have the nickname, you have the cat, you know, all that jazz.
	But look for other people like that.
	And, you know, I mean, Julian Assange, he could invite Julian Assange, Ed Snowden, Ross Obert to the White House after pardoning or commuting them.
	And these are people that are big in the crypto community, big in the freedom community, big in political circles that are outside of Trump world.
	So that's why I agree with you.
	In order for them, for the world to recognize, both from a legacy perspective and from a reform perspective, The importance of prosecuting those that deserve it and not prosecuting those that don't is to make sure you do it at such a broad scale that they can't just say you're doing it for your friends and your allies.
	There should be a lawfare committee with people like Robert Kennedy on that committee and others like that that come from a political cross-section.
	They can say, hey, this is a bogus case.
	For example, Robert Kennedy has highlighted how Chevron has gone after Steve Dunzinger.
	In New York, and how the corrupt federal courts there in New York, by the way, the judge presiding over that case in a very corrupt way that illegally locked up, in my opinion, Stephen Conziger without criminal charges being brought.
	He was under house arrest.
	But look up his ties to certain Trump cases.
	They'll pop up again.
	So, you know, find these cases, the Donziger case, the Bitcoin Jesus case, the Ross Ulbricht case, the add Assange and Snowden to these cases.
	They're just going to dominate in global news.
	So they'll still attack him.
	Trump pardons January 6th defendants.
	Trump pardons Powell.
	But it'll be hard for them to wipe out Bitcoin Jesus and Julian Assange and Edward Snowden and Ross Ulbricht and maybe throw in Leonard Pelletier if there does appear to be some issues there.
	Who's Leonard Pelletier?
	A prominent Native American advocate who...
	Got into some confrontation with the feds, with the FBI.
	I know some of the backstories.
	The FBI engaged in all kinds of corruption involved in the Peltier case and other cases.
	I know some of the Indian tribal members connected to that.
	So these are big...
	That's what he, I think, needs to do in order to achieve the change he wants, but also for it to be recognized for what it is and for it to have the deterrent value it's going to need to have.
	And that's how you can bring the right balance back in.
	To me, though, it needs a judge and not a Trump-aligned judge to come out and say what the hell.
	It would require the Court of Appeal out of New York to say what the hell went on in this Leticia James prosecution.
	A Court of Appeal in the Merchant case, which will probably not happen, above and beyond a pardon, in order for the public to understand and genuinely appreciate the law.
	And that's where you use real examples.
	That's what my view is, if you're doing this day after day, week after week, where you're having news releases of, I'm pardoning this person, I'm commuting this person, pick some people with some high-profile names, at least in some community or constituency, and second, use their stories to highlight the problem.
	And that's how you can help educate people.
	People who would never accept that January 6th defendants were railroaded, would never accept that anything bad or wrong happened to Donald Trump.
	If it's Leonard Peltier, if it's Bitcoin Jesus, if it's Roger Ver, if it's any of these other people.
	Might say, well, hold on a second.
	I don't dislike that person politically.
	And that does seem problematic if that's what happened, these bad acts by the government.
	And it happens all the time.
	Some of us experience it all the time, but most Americans don't know that.
	So that's why I think the best way for Trump to highlight it is not his own cases, but pick cases where the same thing happened, but to somebody who's a political ally of his adversary, or is not known as a political ally of his.
	And that's where I think you can highlight it, where people can discuss and find angles that are barbershop worthy.
	What I mean by that is something that you can talk around the barbershop about.
	So did you hear this?
	This is kind of interesting.
	I don't know.
	Find some angles that can approach it.
	Yeah, well, you make a phenomenal point with the Bitcoin.
	I don't know if there could be a posthumous, pardon, I'm not trying to be funny, of McAfee, but I don't really...
	You can do Paul Smith's pardons.
	Yes, you can because he did it for Jack Johnson, the famous black pardons.
	He should throw in John McAfee a post...
	Death of pardon.
	Absolutely. It is an amazing idea to make the pardons around something that's already the forefront of public discourse, Bitcoin in particular.
	Exactly. It's a big issue of financial freedom.
	You'll find similar issues in political freedom, similar issues with food freedom, similar issues with whistleblowers in general.
	Remember all the whistleblowers Obama went after?
	I think, I mean, there's a bunch of those people that really hate Trump.
	And if I were Trump, I would add those people to the top of the list of pardons.
	Saying, look, you know, all these people right here, they despise me, say all kinds of bad things about me.
	Doesn't matter.
	They were wrongfully prosecuted.
	And we're not going to be part of an administration that wrongfully prosecutes people and wrongfully punishes people.
	We welcome our whistleblowers.
	We don't punish our whistleblowers.
	So there are ways for him to shift the narrative that they won't be able to help themselves and that can make the important points he needs to make temporarily and to try to get the institutional reform and remedy we desperately need.
	Because the fact it got this close.
	Shows how close our country is to collapse.
	That the president of the United States almost taken off the ballot, bankrupted, and imprisoned for life.
	And the American people wanted him to be president again.
	And we came that close to being worse than a third world republic.
	So we need institutional reforms.
	So we need the kind of changes Cash is looking at for personnel and policy.
	But you could do both.
	For example, the FBI, he could impose on the FBI that they follow the Constitution and those rules internally, regardless.
	And if there's a failure to follow those rules, that the indictment of the FBI's official policy will be to move to dismiss those indictments.
	That, by the way, will deter and discourage almost all the government malfeasance and misconduct.
	Now, I'm not sure if he's willing to go that far, but that gives you an idea of the kind of reforms and remedies someone like him can do and accomplish.
	But we need massive reforms and remedies, given what we just went through and almost experienced.
	Now, over in the chat in Locals, at least USA now says, I'm wrong about needing a New York judge to validate it was lawfare to go after Trump.
	Well, I don't know how I could be wrong on that.
	It would certainly at least make that, it would sensitize the left to it if a left judge were to come out, say the court of appeal in Angron's case and say, this was lawfare from the beginning, then it becomes a little more difficult for MSNBC to say, I don't think it's going to happen, but I would like to see that more than just pardons, but the idea of broad pardons to ideological adversaries to highlight the lawfare.
	We've talked about this ad nauseum.
	What happened to Trump was nothing new or extraordinary.
	It's just that they picked a target that was bigger than what they could effectively...
	Snuff out.
	They've been doing this for decades to a slew of people, marginalized people, people who don't have the means or the bullhorn to raise national hell over it.
	So it's not new and it needs to be done away with.
	And now that you talk about a committee on lawfare, since the Attorney General has already received its appointment, Robert, you could be a good director of lawfare analysis.
	D-L-I.
	I like it.
	Okay, so hold on.
	So that's fantastic.
	So the pardons for the co-defendants, they'll just sit there and wait it out.
	The state prosecution, let's just go back to another lawfare one.
	The state prosecution against Bannon and Colfage for We Build the Wall, where they got the federal pardon, and the state still finds a way to go after them for fraud.
	How do the allies deal with this?
	What can be done on that front?
	That is going to be really tricky.
	The argument would be to try to argue the presidential pardon power can reach state prosecutions in certain instances where the underlying allegations of federal crime.
	So he could try that.
	That's one option.
	Otherwise, you're subject to that.
	I think we need a new federal law that limits the ability of states to criminally prosecute people that involve protected civil rights.
	That's really already on the books, but they've not meaningfully enforced it.
	I mean, that's what Section 1983 and 1981 were all about to begin with, was cops and judges in the South, post-Civil War, were refusing to enforce the law.
	And so what do you do with that?
	Well, you prosecute the cops and the judges.
	That's what you do.
	You match power with power.
	You know, they have the Klan, you bring out the U.S. military.
	So that's the kind of, historically, that's what's been required for them, for judges and corrupt prosecutors and cops to...
	Walk back the insanity.
	But maybe more robust federal rights, rights to sue the prosecutors monetarily, you know, things like that.
	Something that would really make them think twice.
	Because right now they have no risk.
	They're like vaccine makers.
	They know as long as their vaccine's on an emergency list or on a kid's list, they have no incentive to make sure that vaccine actually works, is actually safe, is actually effective, is actually necessary.
	That the side effects don't outweigh the benefits.
	Because they can't be sued.
	They can only make money by selling it.
	They can only not make money by not selling it.
	So, I mean, there's literally no motive whatsoever to do what's right.
	And that's part of the problem here, too.
	And that needs reconsideration of the entire way we handle criminal justice.
	But I think a solution also is transfer more to the local and state government.
	And when local and state governments violate people's federally constitutional...
	Civil rights.
	Then they themselves could be sued and prosecuted.
	I like it.
	Robert, let me read a few of these before we get too far behind.
	Tiffany and Ivanka fathers in law.
	Cronyism is us.
	That is from E. Schaefer.
	Or no, that's C. Schaefer.
	MB of LAZ says, everyone forgets that Trump is a germaphobe.
	And then we've got King of Biltong, who says, need some healthy high protein stocking stuffers this festive season.
	Get some Biltong packed with B12 zinc.
	Creatine Iron.
	I'm reading not in order for some reason.
	Built on USA.
	Use code VIVA10 for 10% off.
	Don't forget to answer the question I asked earlier, please.
	T1990. Where was it?
	T1990. Scrolling down.
	Oh, Viva, what are your thoughts on...
	Sorry, I'll go down to the bottom here.
	The payment processors dropping anime.
	We're getting to that.
	We're getting to that in a second.
	And then we've got...
	We stream every Friday and Sunday, 4 p.m.
	Eastern, 3 p.m.
	Shit's talking.
	Will's cooking real food.
	Check out the channel.
	Eat at Anton's.
	Then we've got Alex David Duke.
	Good to see you again.
	Last week, a Toronto police sergeant arrested Ezra Levant.
	Today, dozens of Rebel News supporters showed up.
	At the weekly Hamas provocation, proving grabbing Ezra is like grabbing a stick of dynamite.
	I didn't see what happened today in the news, but I had Ezra on last week to talk.
	Has there been any update on the Daniel Penny case?
	The New York subway case?
	No. I'll Google that while we're talking.
	I know it's in trial.
	I thought it was with the jury.
	Yeah, that's what I thought as well, last I heard.
	V6 Neon says, civil asset forfeiture and how local, state, and federal screw over the people would be something for Trump to get rid of.
	Okay, Robert.
	On the topic of this, we were going to get into the judges feeling politically empowered to do the right thing.
	Coming out of Texas, Texas has been putting up a lot of razor wire because now we understand that it's an actual border crisis.
	I'm going to lose my bet on Kamala becoming the 47th president.
	It was worth it.
	It was worth it, people.
	The Bordazar neglected her Bordazar duties and created a crisis, so much so that it became a Federal Emergency Management Act crisis, where they had to have federal emergency monies to go deal with this crisis at the border that they caused.
	We had talked about this at length.
	Texas tried to do a bunch of things to secure its border.
	Federal court comes in and says, no, you can't put up a fence or a razor wire on the water.
	What was it?
	Idaho couldn't enforce no trespass against illegals.
	Texas recently was, I forget which way it went exactly, but was putting up barbed wire.
	Chicken wire.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And a wire around a particular area of Eagle's Pass that was being particularly problematic for crossings.
	And the federal government, I'm going to shriek into my mic again, the federal government, Biden's federal government, sued to enjoin them to prevent them from doing it.
	And was it the federal court or the federal court of appeal that said they can put up barbed wire because it wasn't targeting illegals?
	In particular, it wasn't dealing with federal immigration, but rather just securing their own borders.
	Field that while I go let this dog outside.
	Hold on.
	Go for it.
	Yeah. So Texas has been trying to do what they can to control the border ever since the Supreme Court decided about a decade ago or so in an Arizona case that the feds have exclusive control over immigration.
	States and local governments have been trying to figure out, well, how do we protect ourselves in that process?
	And the solution the Fifth Circuit came up with was, as long as you're not trying to directly overturn immigration law, you can always do things that would secure your property like anything else, like a security guard outside of a state park.
	So you can do what's necessary to secure government property.
	You have all kinds of trespass taking place at a particular location, and that leads to FERF.
	Further criminality and cost, you can put something there.
	There's no problem with that because that's not an immigration policy.
	That's not a labor policy.
	That's not any of those things.
	It's securing physical property in a manner traditionally done.
	So finally, the courts are coming up with a roadmap of what can you do at the local and state level when the federal government goes AWOL on borders.
	And I think it's because there's been so much blowback that even the courts are starting to walk back their hardline initial position.
	That said the feds had 100% monopolistic control no matter what.
	Yeah, because this strikes me as being the motivated reasoning where they could just as easily have come to the opposite conclusion, citing precedent that we've talked about on this channel, that no, it's federal immigration, it's exclusive jurisdiction of the feds, and they will take care of it.
	And if they decide to cash and release, they'll do that.
	Whereas now they say, oh my goodness, Trump won, people are pissed, everyone acknowledges it's a crisis, so we can just...
	We can tweak our rationale and say, oh, this has nothing to do with federal immigration.
	It has to do with trespass laws.
	Which state was it?
	Was it Idaho that we talked about trespass laws?
	And I'm like, why Idaho?
	Because it's not even a border state.
	So it just seems like motivated reasoning.
	Well, Iowa.
	I think Iowa is the same.
	Okay. I get mixed up between Iowa, Idaho, and Ohio for obvious reasons.
	So a great decision.
	That almost is going to set up the precedent later on for other states to do the same thing.
	Biden's getting replaced in 50-some-odd days, and so it'll be the Trump administration not enjoining states from doing what the states need to do to protect their borders.
	Okay. There was that.
	Yeah, that was a big win.
	And it's starting to lay out a roadmap whereby governments can do this.
	So in the future, if you're worried at the local level...
	About illegal immigration-related issues.
	Don't make it an illegal immigration issue.
	Make it a crime issue, safety issue, security issue, property issue, whatever, and treat it that way.
	And then, even if it has the impact of impacting immigration policy, what they're saying is that doesn't matter.
	If what you're doing is traditional non-immigration policy, the fact it impacts immigrants has no bearing.
	On its legality.
	So there's a nice roadmap there that other states like Arizona and other ones can soon follow.
	I mean, anybody's looking at the border counties, the biggest swing almost in American history is what has happened in West Texas between 2016 and 2024, where those working class Mexican-American counties that get the brunt of all this immigration.
	That Democrats thought they would love so much they would vote Democrat for forever swung to Trump.
	Counties named after Mexican revolutionaries.
	Emiliano Zapata.
	Zapata County voted for Trump.
	Starr County.
	Webb County.
	Some of these counties that if you knew any of the political history, those are 90% Democratic counties back in the day.
	That's where LBJ got his extra ballots when he needed them for Box 46. Or 46 votes.
	Landslide Linden, as they called it.
	As a joy to mock him and make fun of him.
	I guess we probably should have called Joe Biden that.
	Landslide Joe.
	The 81 million Joe.
	But yeah, so big win.
	Big win for those that want to have some manageable issues with immigration and its fallout on local communities.
	Robert, the chat corrected me.
	Idaho is a border state just with the...
	Northern border, the one that's shipping terrorists to America, not the southern border, which is also shipping terrorists to America, but apparently more coming from Canada than crossing the Mexican border side.
	When I had on Ezra Levant last week, and he dropped that stat that 4.9 million Canadians or 4.9 million people in Canada are foreigners with visas.
	And then I think we tangentially got onto the border crossing crisis where...
	For whatever the reason, a lot more people on terrorist watch lists are being nabbed trying to cross into the States from Canada than from Mexico.
	And one of the theories is that it has to do with the student visas being handed out like cotton candy as of 2022.
	And so, okay, maybe there's an argument there that you've got to tighten up your borders up on the Canadian side as well.
	Okay. Actually, we probably should have segued into from the Bitcoin Jesus to the debanking.
	Mark Andreessen was on with Rogan this week, and he talked about something which we've talked about, but it doesn't get the, I don't know, the large enough bullhorn that it deserves, which is the debanking.
	And we get some prominent examples of Canadians who have been debanked, Jeremy McKenzie, the truckers, etc.
	And Andreessen, is he an investor in Rumble?
	I don't know about Rumble.
	Let's see where he's an investor.
	He's a tech guy.
	And he's like, you know, this debanking has been going on for a lot longer than has been part of the public consciousness as relates to industries that are disfavored industries.
	And I mean, the Bitcoin was amazing.
	I appreciated that.
	But just industries where customers get debanked, they have no ways to keep monies, their loans get called in.
	And I'm not sure that a lot of people were totally sensitized to the abuse of the Banking cartel.
	Now, this was going to segue into something that we were going to talk about, and I just totally lost my train of thought.
	Which one was it about the debanking?
	Oh, for goodness sake.
	Well, I mean, there are several different ones, but yeah, I mean, Andreessen mentioned what was happening systemically.
	I have the case in St. Louis now going on for years, been trying to get people's attention to it, that there really needs to be, people need to re-examine who's in certain regulatory positions.
	This includes farm...
	There's big issues present there, as several people online have made note of, that there need to be specific reforms in those areas.
	So Trump has looked at bringing in people that have a positive view of crypto and Bitcoin into the administration from a regulatory perspective, from a tax perspective, SEC perspective, civil and criminal perspective, whether you're going to label it a certain kind of property or asset or not.
	But the other factors that have gone along with all this, lawfare, has been the private actors doing stuff, whether it's the social media censorship or debanking.
	And people have heard the stories here and there, but they undervalue it because there's nothing you can do about it practically.
	Very hard to sue.
	And there needs to be different regulatory people put in place, number one.
	And number two, there needs to be a substantial reform.
	of the entire regulatory structure concerning finance and banking, but at least get to the point where these people can be held accountable when they decide to go run roughshod over people, which a lot of these banks are doing in the farm context.
	They're supposed to be pro-farmer, yet they're conspiring to steal people's farms from them.
	And the same is true in real estate development, small business development.
	Some of these people that just because their politics was the wrong politics, according to the bank, They decided the bank decided to completely debank them in such a way that it can bankrupt them.
	I mean, if you don't have access to the banking and financial system, you don't have the means to live in the modern world.
	And that's why Bitcoin is such a potential threat to them.
	It's a state-free mechanism without central planners or central bankers to be able to distribute resources and to be able to have means and modicums of exchange and means of storing value.
	That's why they hate it as much as they do, because it has that kind of potential.
	However, you might choose to see it.
	Some people like the value side.
	Some people like the exchange side.
	That's your own political and other preference.
	But it's systematic what has been taking place.
	And the debanking, the biggest problem is it's not clearly illegal.
	It should be clearly illegal.
	Because people are like, well, what do you mean you can just shut down my bank account?
	You can refuse to honor any payments for three weeks.
	If no payments are honored, it's on me.
	And I can get stuck with whatever bogus bill or item or fee because of what you, the bank, did.
	You don't even have to tell me why you did it.
	You don't have to tell me how you did it.
	You don't have to tell me whether it was right or wrong to do it.
	You can just, anytime you want, take my money and maybe send it back to me, maybe not.
	I mean, that's how insane it is.
	Which was the case that you had?
	Would you say Missouri?
	I remember.
	That's the case where, I mean, here's a guy who helped develop real estate in inner cities.
	He went and found...
	Real estate that had great historic value, that was in neighborhoods that were collapsing and falling apart, and said, let's solve two problems in one by let's redevelop these historic properties in a manner consistent to their historic aesthetic value, and in the process restore a different recollection of that neighborhood and community, and provide employment opportunities, not only in the construction side, but on the service industry side, once it's up and going.
	And can use various forms of historic tax credits and other tax credit programs to help facilitate that outcome.
	And he was incredibly successful at it, at refurbing and redeveloping various properties across the country, including the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, you know, prominent places.
	So he develops one in St. Louis, and at the request of all the different people connected to the bank, U.S. Bank, And then the people at the U.S. Bank get woke because that's when Michael Brown happens near St. Louis, Ferguson, Missouri.
	They decide they got a right for the righteous cause.
	And they're even on the record saying we got to get rid of people that have the political beliefs of any Trump supporter, which is like half the country.
	And they knew that he, even though he was someone whose ideas they agreed with, whose projects they agreed with, whose projects made them over half a billion dollars, they decided to debank him overnight and undermine every single deal he had, every single contract he had, every single case he had.
	And the goal was to drive him so crazy, by the end of it, you'd either be exhausted from having to deal with all the years of insanity, or you'd be broke.
	And if they're willing to do that to somebody with resource, some degree of resources, and then they did it to Trump, also with resources, that told you that all of a sudden there was no limits to who they would go after.
	And what Anderson confirmed is what I had figured out from...
	Years ago, I brought the biggest Bivens class action in American history on behalf of people whose medical records were secretly seized and stolen by the IRS.
	And it was sued on behalf of over 60 million Americans, over 10 million medical records taken, included prominent judges.
	Prominent politicians, prominent musicians, prominent movie directors, prominent movie screenwriters, prominent movie actors, prominent movie, because a lot of it was California-based, where they had taken the records, but also Major League Baseball players and a bunch of other people.
	They had sort of J. Edgar Hoover's wet dream of a blackmail file, and they'd been doing it under the guise that they were trying to just enforce Obama's mandate.
	They said, we've got to enforce Obama's employer mandate, so we need to know who has insurance and who doesn't.
	So we need everybody's medical bills.
	Everybody's medical bills.
	And of course, those medical bills have very specific coding provisions, which can tell you, oh, this director is talking to this shrink over his foot obsession.
	Oh, this actor, who just got bonded again, has four undisclosed heart attacks.
	That's why he's missing this and this and that.
	Things like that.
	Massive amounts of money he could make.
	When he exposed it, it turned out they were doing it systematically.
	Under the guise of collecting, figuring out who was the mandate for, the IRS was going to have everybody's medical and their financial records in one database.
	And it was about a massive censorship, spying, surveillance campaign meant to intimidate and coerce at the end of the day.
	So it shows you how systemic the problem is related to debanking that we see in deplatforming and in other areas.
	And we need to have some institutional remedies when we have de facto utilities, because that's what banks are, practically speaking, de facto utilities, running the show the way they are.
	The issue that I find most shocking, when they froze the banks up in Canada or the accounts of people involved in the trucker protest, banks are subject to federal regulation in Canada.
	And so it blew my mind that they would even try it, but let alone get away with it.
	Federally regulated institutions.
	Discriminating on the basis of politics, but on a more practical level, denying what is a right or should be deemed to be a right, a utility.
	What blows my mind even more is, I bet you Paul Bernardo has a bank account, but Tamara Leach and Jeremy McKenzie get debanked for politics.
	I don't know what it is like in the States, but what would it take to get banking to be deemed to be something of a right, of a utility, to the point where like...
	You know, felons, convicted felons lose their right to vote, but they still have the right to bank.
	And so, like, what does it take to have it recognized as a federal right where barring inability to pay back loans, you don't have to disperse loans, but you can't just shut someone out of the banking system.
	I mean, right now, they can get away with that.
	And I think what it exposes is how systemic the problem is.
	And that's why we need individual two paths.
	We need regulatory reform and legal change.
	But recognizing that those power structures invite corruption, the longer-term solution is to shift power to individuals.
	If you look at Hijacking Bitcoin, that's Bitcoin Jesus.
	That's his book.
	A month later, they indicted him.
	That gives you an idea of what the CIA and some other people thought about his book.
	But if you look at the book, part of the argument is you need to have individual empowerment, tools of individual empowerment that can circumvent The coercive tools of a propagandistic state.
	And that's kind of what Elon Musk has done with X. That's what Roger Ver wants to do with Bitcoin.
	That's what Julian Assange wanted to do with the new information world, was to use it to radically democratize it, little de-democratize it, give power back to the people and take it away from the politicians.
	And I think they're onto something, but it's clear we're going to need to look at every central point of...
	Weakness, kind of like after you realize there's problems over the supply chain after a hurricane or something else.
	We have clear signs of weakness in the freedom battle.
	And that is where people have control over food, medicine, finance, and speech.
	Those four quadrants, big tech, big media, big food, big formal, can conspire and coordinate.
	People personified by the Bill Gates and George Soros of the world who have investments in all four sectors at a heavy, heavy level and have made clear their view that they should control the world because the world would be better off if they controlled it in their own image, that those are the threats.
	So our response has to be, how do we maximize financial freedom?
	How do we maximize political freedom?
	How do we maximize food freedom?
	Be able to be able to purchase food directly from a farmer without regard to any government permission.
	That's a way to circumnavigate.
	The entire oppressive system.
	It's similar with financial issues.
	More Bitcoin access in a more democratized way, along the terms that Roger Ver is talking about, can empower people in such a drastic and dramatic way that we don't have to worry about what laws are on the books because the corrupt actors don't have the power to enact those bad laws, even if they were to exist.
	Well, I say declare banking as a right and borrowing a legitimate financial consideration.
	You cannot debank people.
	You don't have to give them loans, but you can let them hold their money in a bank.
	Same reason you can't turn off their utilities.
	Sean Joe says, Looking good, Barnes.
	Glad to see you back in the saddle.
	Gaylord Fokker, which is the name from Meet the Parents, says, I was recently notified by my OFCU in Omaha that I can use my money to buy prescriptions that I can't use my money.
	It's a big missed letter there.
	Can't use my money to buy prescription drugs, ammunition, guns, tobacco, gambling, or hate speech.
	We need a right to banking.
	I totally agree.
	And then we got Cogginsville says, penny closing arguments are scheduled for tomorrow.
	I brought that up earlier.
	Okay, fantastic.
	And everybody should watch the Andreessen interview with Rogan.
	It's quite insightful.
	Okay, what do we segue into now?
	Well, speaking of another area where they lost this week, remember we discussed the Tornado Cash case.
	Well, it finally got around to verdict.
	You're going to have to...
	I remember it, and now I just need you to refresh my memory.
	What the heck is the Tornado Cash case, Robert?
	So Tornado is just...
	It's all these different ways, but people are trying to figure out how can we make Bitcoin real, manifest, for whatever objective somebody has with it.
	Whether it's to store it, whether it's speculation as an investment, whether it's storage of value, whether it's a contingent asset under select circumstances, you know, plan B type asset, whether it's a medium of exchange to use every day.
	So these other technologies, Lightning, Tornado, a bunch of others, come along trying to find a way to make it easier for you to get crypto, for you to get Bitcoin, for you to be able to...
	To use it for any of those purposes identified before that are the most common.
	So, but because Tornado was creating sort of its own, it's literally creating its own financial system outside of the control, both technically and technologically, of the financial system and from the government.
	I mean, so Tornado cash, and like it, if it went the Roger Ver, Bitcoin Jesus version of Bitcoin.
	That that path poses an imminent existential risk to the control freaks, to the Bill Gateses, to the George Soroses, to the central bankers and central planners of the world.
	And so Tornado was a particular problem for them because of how it was facilitating Bitcoin moving in that democratizing direction.
	So they decided to pretend it was a security and it was facilitating money laundering.
	I mean, when they were not even clear on whether Bitcoin is money.
	How's that money laundering then?
	So it was a huge reach of a case.
	So they brought it, they got sanctions against him, using similar grounds that they've used in the Russia context and other contexts, by the way.
	And the court made the point that all of this is really technology.
	It's not really property within the meaning of the sanctions laws.
	And consequently, all the sanctions against tornado cash had to be reversed.
	So massive win in the crypto space, massive win in the financial freedom space.
	Massive win against government lawfare, politically weaponized lawfare.
	And so that's on the upside to all of this four or five years of attacks on Bitcoin and crypto.
	And that's where Trump could really wrap it up by putting in some pardons, some commutations, and then real institutional policy reform.
	How can we embrace Bitcoin?
	He's talking about creating a Bitcoin reserve.
	He wants America to lead the world in Bitcoin.
	There's a range of ways he can do that.
	Trying to lock up Bitcoin Jesus doesn't help you do that.
	But there's a lot of other ways you can.
	But if you were to pardon him and start moving that path, that would be smart.
	Also, that's a great source of political allies right now.
	Either they became red-pilled or already were red-pilled.
	But people in the financial freedom space are more alert, more awake, more attuned than your average normie anywhere else.
	If I ask somebody...
	What their opinion is on the vaccine.
	And they give me an informed answer, detailed answer that shows skepticism towards the vaccine.
	I can predict about 80% of their other conversations and that they will have an above-average amount of detailed understanding of those issues.
	You know when Steve Crowder goes out to the college campus or Shapiro or any of them?
	You know it's a bunch of idiots that are going to end up talking to you.
	They're going to come up with a real insightful point.
	That's just not going to happen.
	But so I think what the Tornado Cash case, these other cases signify, is it affords Trump an opportunity to make a meaningful change that can boost him politically, smart politics, and provide effective cover for pardoning all these other people that have been wrongfully targeted politically.
	But it's also a powerful tool by which he could get further embraced by the crypto world around the world, and that's the reform element around the world.
	Are those people connected to the crypto space?
	Well, coming back to, you know, it should be declared a right.
	You got Effitz, who says, it's not just banking.
	We need a law that prohibits any government or corporation from denying service to anyone except for use of the service in commission of a crime.
	Individual plus regulatory COA course of action.
	Correction of action.
	I don't know what that means, actually.
	Also, no immunity of any sort from such claims.
	And we got Mitke says, Biden will pardon his son per Tucker Carlson network.
	Effitz says, and if you don't want...
	To be able to discriminate based on viewpoint, then just don't incorporate.
	Agreed. My question is, how does it financially benefit these banks in any way, shape, or form to do it?
	And I think the bottom line is, it doesn't.
	It's ideologically driven.
	And then the question is, why is it ideologically driven?
	And that's going to bring us to BlackRock, I think, our topic of Black.
	Robert, that was the best segue I've ever done in our five years of doing this show.
	So BlackRock...
	I don't know what the lawsuit is in particular, but I was just looking into BlackRock in terms of what it is.
	And very, very 30,000-foot overview, BlackRock Asset Management.
	They're basically, they take other people's money, they pool them into, they buy a little piece of indexes.
	They have a piece of everything.
	And it's an asset management firm, which in theory sounds good if they were to represent or manage the assets of the people who then themselves have shares in public.
	Which they don't.
	I forget where I was listening to it, but the stats as to what percentage of America owns what percentage of stocks is...
	Lopsided is not the word.
	It's control, where you have an infinitesimal percentage that controls the majority of the voting shares, or not necessarily the voting shares, but influence in these companies.
	And it's a handful of people who...
	Control basically a bit of the entire markets out there through BlackRock, and that BlackRock has their investment companies that they buy and sell through, who themselves are owned by BlackRock, Vanguard, there's another big name in there.
	All of these entities which basically control the pressure levers on corporations, they control governance on corporations through their backdoor channels, and they don't represent...
	The actual people of America, any sort of populist shareholders of these companies.
	And so it's wild where you have the BlackRock asset management basically dictating policy, which is, on the one hand, it was talking about shoe companies, where BlackRock will own Nike, Adidas, all of them.
	And so there's, on the one hand, a monopoly in terms of driving up prices with no incentive for competition, because where BlackRock...
	Loses sales on Adidas, they'll make back on Nike.
	So it's like they're the house making profits on all the money, but the money comes from the lowly people that is then sort of recycled, for lack of a better word, among the people that they represent, which is themselves at the end of the day.
	And so a monopoly on influence of public corporations through their power, their investment, and their leverage...
	Which is sort of the explains how some of these companies do things which are fundamentally not in their economic best interest, but might be for other purposes of ESG and governance and whatever.
	Okay. Long-winded answer as to BlackRock owning everything, having a peace in everything, having a peace in rebuilding Ukraine after it's done being destroyed through government policy.
	All right.
	So where are they going after this BlackRock for monopolistic practices?
	So this is credit again to Attorney General Paxton of the state of Texas.
	He started digging into BlackRock a couple of years ago, and he was curious about what BlackRock was doing with state pension funds and whether they were using state pension funds against the political interests and beliefs and values of the people who were their investors, effectively. And because that was happening, because BlackRock was overtly political.
	And had become so, particularly the people managing it and running it.
	And were often making decisions that were in their own personal or political self-interest, but against the interest of their stockholders or investors.
	And so he starts to keep digging in and realized BlackRock keeps showing up everywhere.
	All sides of all transactions.
	No matter what happens, they are going to end up on the plus side of a war or conflict or a natural disaster.
	That these things are profitable events for them, not worrisome events for them.
	That they're like something right out of a deep state novel or movie or the rest.
	Is this character Black Rocket even has the right kind of imagery and title and all the rest?
	And then when you have the former grandson of a Nazi, Klaus, with the World Economic Forum, you got the whole Bond villain script all written and wrapped.
	And so you dig in, here's another example where what they do is they raised money to help coal mining and other forms of tapping into the natural mineral resource advantages of the United States.
	But what they were actually doing was behind the scenes using those stock shares to make policy choices that would make it very difficult for those companies to actually profit because they were pushing various environmental nonsense.
	Those selectively on the West because BlackRock's deeply invested in China.
	That's how you know it's not ideological, right?
	Like if this was a Robert Kennedy company, right?
	He just happens to be a hardcore environmentalist.
	He ain't investing a lot of money in China, right?
	So when you see BlackRock's heavy in China and heavy in trying to drive down coal in the United States supposedly because of environmental concerns, you know something else is afoot.
	And it's them weaponizing their stock control to create unfair economic advantages, which violate state and federal law, but also doing so in a way, a monopolistic way, that not only deters and discourages competition, but actually prohibits us from knowing what's really going on underneath in a large set of policies, when BlackRock is a huge share of rental properties.
	What does that mean for how they approach Airbnb legality?
	How they approach zoning rules?
	How they approach tax benefit laws when it doesn't concern primary residence owner?
	So on and so forth.
	So you get all kinds of impact that you don't expect from a company that's just a Wall Street investment company.
	But it's another example of great work by the people over at the Attorney General's office in Texas and the others, Missouri and elsewhere.
	That also we're working together on this because it's exposing a big problem that's underappreciated.
	How the corporate fascistic monopolistic world works hand in hand with an oppressive state in what's taking place today.
	It's the definition, it's the true definition of Mussolini fascism where it's the marriage of corporation with government.
	They're representing each other's interests, which represents 1% of the population that owns something like, what was it, 50% of the stocks and however much of the wealth.
	And yeah, it's the house always wins, except it's pulling its money from the people.
	And it's quite wild.
	Yeah, BlackRock is indeed an enemy.
	It was the BlackRock Asset Management.
	Their corporate structure is amazing because they do end up owning themselves through second and third level.
	And just look at some of the names that pop up along the way.
	And you can look up groups like Carlisle Group.
	Look for the Dutch East India Company replicated over and over again.
	Because for the last century plus, that's how your big sophisticated deep state operations work.
	They look a lot like...
	The British East India Cup.
	Robert, the breaking news that I'm seeing in the chat is that Hunter...
	Joe Biden's going to pardon Hunter Biden.
	And I want to...
	I'm trying to pull up when we discussed it where...
	Oh, I said that from day one.
	It was obviously...
	I want to look even smarter than anybody else because it was the way Karine Jean-Pierre said...
	We're not going to pardon him.
	And it was conditional.
	It was like, we're not going to pardon him while he's running for president.
	I was like, oh, I have to go find when I said it because I know that I said something about it.
	I need to find the actual quote.
	But yeah, it looks like he's going to pardon him.
	Here's the key one.
	Is he going to throw Trump in at the last minute?
	He had better throw Trump in.
	That would be the smart move for him, right?
	Because the whole storyline will then be about Trump.
	He knows Trump could do it himself.
	He knows these cases are really dead anyway.
	Why not say, yeah, it's time to move on.
	This isn't about my family.
	This is moving on for the sake of America.
	And I'm even willing to do it for Donald Trump.
	He better do it for all of the federal agents who are afraid of prosecution when Kash Patel gets in as FBI director and goes after the wrongdoers.
	I'm going to see if I can pull up the quote or find my tweet or analysis at the time.
	All right, BlackRock.
	Public enemy number one.
	About time people truly appreciate it.
	Who's Larry Fink?
	Yeah, the BlackRock CEO.
	Okay. He's a...
	I want to say he's a bad man, but I don't think I have any...
	Can't trust him, no.
	Yeah, very untrustworthy.
	Okay. Anybody in BlackRock, you got to keep an eye on it.
	His name is Fink, Robert.
	I mean, how much...
	Norman S. Omen, yeah, it's a Fink.
	You really can't trust a Fink.
	The simulation isn't what it used to be.
	All right, what do we move on to now?
	I think that covers all the topics we had for tonight.
	Okay, amazing.
	Let me get some...
	Hold on.
	Oh, hold on.
	I'll get it a second.
	Going back over to Crumble.
	BlackRock are now working with the UK government.
	Yes! In procurement of farmland in which the UK government has forced into bankruptcy.
	You get...
	Keir Stormer.
	Keir Stormer?
	The Daily Stormer, the Daily Stormer, talking about how he's joining out.
	He's, what do they call it?
	Working with BlackRock.
	Outdoor Noble says, Elon Musk should just start his own bank, Ban X. Banks.
	Well, that's not bad actually.
	He imagined X 25 years ago, before he became big in any of the things he became big in, as a one-stop payment processor and messenger service.
	So he's always planned on X having a financial component.
	Yeah, well, you cannot call it banks with an X because I saw that as ban X first, which would be, you don't want to ban X. Gaylord Falker says, question for Robert, are pardons required to be public or can Biden hand them out in secret?
	They have to be disclosed, don't they?
	I mean, somebody's got to know that the person has been pardoned to not keep him in jail or arrest him or try to prosecute him.
	It has to be public at some level.
	How wide will Biden pardon be as many crimes of Hunter?
	If I was Biden, I'd pardon anybody that might be mad at me that I didn't pardon them.
	And then throw in a bunch of Trump people to distract everybody.
	So throw in all the Russiagate, everybody, you know, all the federal agents so they don't have to worry.
	Say that, you know, anybody who did anything in the belief that this was to prevent foreign...
	You know, something like that.
	I don't think it'll go that far.
	But that would probably be a politically smart move on his part.
	Okay, so here, let me see if I can pull this.
	It's going to drive me absolutely crazy.
	We'll do this.
	We're going to have our locals party afterwards.
	This is back in the day.
	Biden says he will not reduce son's sentence.
	Okay, speaking of the G7, I said I abide by the jury decision.
	I will do that, and I will not pardon him, the president said Thursday.
	In response to a question, Mr. Biden also said he would not use his presidential power to commute or reduce his son's sentence.
	Before the verdict, yada, yada.
	Okay, fine.
	Oh, I gotta go fine.
	I'm extremely proud of my son, Hunter, Biden said during the news conference.
	He's overcome addiction.
	He's one of the brightest, most decent men I know.
	And I'm satisfied that I'm not going to...
	And I am satisfied that I'm not going to do anything.
	Okay, well, I'll have to screen grab that for a second.
	All right, let's do...
	Hold on.
	Okay, I don't want to forget anything.
	We're doing good.
	What we're going to do now, we're going to head on over to the VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
	After party, let me give everybody the link.
	We're going to do the chats there.
	There was...
	Oh, Amdrum12 says, interesting group of people at Mar-a-Lago the past few days.
	The good, Musk and Rambo, the bad, Trudeau, the ugly, Zuckerberg.
	What have you heard about the meetings between the guys?
	Robert, you're more with the ear to the grindstone.
	I think that's the word.
	Okay, did we talk about Mika Brzezinski?
	Her father, Brzezinski.
	Bad man from what I can surmise?
	Bad man neutral.
	I mean, saw himself as a brilliant Cold War Kissinger type.
	That's how he saw himself as.
	So they were there making up.
	Trudeau is there the other day.
	Trump looks so much better now than he's ever looked in his life.
	He looks younger than Trudeau.
	He doesn't really, but you know what I'm getting at.
	What do you make of people meeting with him?
	Are hypocrites?
	That's just Trump being Trump.
	Everybody that's on the opposite side figures they can roll Trump again.
	Some of you have even been dumb enough to say it publicly.
	But that's where I think they're going to be in for a surprise.
	All right, let's do this.
	I'm going to give everybody the link over in Rumble.
	Come on over if you're not.
	Don't worry about it.
	So I will be live all week as usual.
	Some good guests coming up and other good guests coming up and live streams, daily videos.
	Everything is on podcast.
	I changed it to Viva Fry podcast, Robert, not as a myth.
	The majority of them aren't the Sunday night show, so I don't want people thinking I'm...
	Trying to misrepresent what it is.
	So we've got the Sunday shows that are going to be there and daily podcasts on podcast format.
	You know what it is.
	And that is it, people.
	Come on over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com and we will have the rest of the party there.
	Everybody, see you soon.
	Robert, stick around.
