	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 blind and 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.
	Cause 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 What
	I see is sports is on the frontier of how to handle this frontier of people who are trans.
	It's on the frontier of how to resolve that.
	And I'm making this up now.
	Imagine the future of sports does not distinguish sex.
	It distinguishes and sorts people by hormone ratios.
	I'm making this up.
	I know you are.
	Imagine that, if that were the case.
	Imagine it.
	That would be interesting.
	You get a hormone test, you're in this range, and then you compete against other people with the same range of hormones.
	That's ridiculous.
	Neil, that is ridiculous.
	No, it's not.
	I'll tell you why it's not.
	Okay, look, I'm telling you.
	We're going to skip over Piers Morgan's, not diatribe, but stating the obvious.
	Neil deGrasse Tyson.
	He's looking tweaked out.
	Like, he's looking straight up tweaked.
	Where does he go?
	A golf fan.
	And when she started playing golf after she transitioned, she was allowed to play off the women's tees.
	Talking about Caitlin Jenner.
	50 yards further than the men's tees.
	And she quickly realized that she was still smashing it 300 yards down and obviously was then beating all the women that she played.
	So she now plays back off the male tees because her biology...
	It's that of a man.
	And I feel that that was the most honest way to deal with it.
	I also feel that if you want to have a separate category, have a trans category.
	Or have trans women compete against men, which is their biology.
	Isn't that the scientific way to resolve this?
	I don't have a solution.
	What I started this section of the conversation by saying that how you handle trans athletes...
	Is a frontier in sports that does not yet have a full solution.
	And so, and I made up an example, like maybe you could divide people by hormones.
	Or sex.
	I don't know if that would work physiologically, but at the end of the day, we watch sporting events because they are competitively interesting.
	And so something's going to have to get resolved there.
	And I don't have that solution.
	I do.
	I do.
	And I just tossed up hormones.
	You're a trans category, or you have the trans women competing against a lot of good men, which is what they are.
	Neil deGrasse.
	He's getting the call.
	That may be how it settles, but I don't know.
	By the way, Neil deGrasse Tyson, former respected scientist, I don't have a solution.
	to the problem that I just caused for absolutely no reason.
	That's the definition of progressivism for all of you out there who are wondering how do you define woke?
	How do you define progressive?
	Progressive is not having a solution to the manufactured problem you just created out of thin air.
	And now people are hypothesizing how much is this dude tweaking?
	That he's getting a call from his drug dealer in the middle of an interview.
	My joke is he's getting a call from his handlers like, Neil, you need to get off right now.
	You need to stop talking and you need to shut down your big mouth that doesn't know when to stop doubling down on your abject, outrageous insanity.
	That man is a, I guess he's an astrophysicist.
	Is he an actual astrophysicist?
	By the way, intro song is five times August.
	Liars, cheats, and crooks.
	And I've given you all the link there.
	Neil deGrasse Tyson.
	What do we go?
	Credentials? Qualification?
	No, let's go credentials.
	I guess that might be the word.
	Credentials. He attended the Bronx High School of Science, went to a major in physics at Harvard.
	Oh boy, he's doing them justice.
	And earned a master's degree in astronomy.
	From the University of Texas in Austin.
	Astrology? Like he's Cleo.
	Call me now!
	I'll tell you your futures.
	Anyone who's older than 40 is going to get that joke.
	Good evening, everybody.
	How goes the battle?
	Let me make sure that audio is good.
	I think I would have gotten the text by now if I weren't live and audible everywhere.
	Everyone? I don't have my phone because my wife is on it for our weekly Zoom call with the family.
	She's coming in to give it to me right now.
	Thank you very much.
	She just got off the weekly Zoom call with the family.
	Let me just take a picture of the computer and a hand for scale.
	Okay. So I got the new computer piece.
	This is the new setup.
	Now I'm learning.
	My fat fingers have not yet adjusted to the keyboard.
	I got the new computer.
	Some things are not yet fully smooth-lined in.
	Like, I didn't download the widget on Rumble that allows me to preserve the Rumble rants, so I might miss some Rumble rants.
	And if you're going to be upset if I miss the Rumble rants, please don't.
	I do my best.
	Same thing goes for YouTube.
	The best way to do it, go over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	All of the tipped questions there remain highlighted in perpetuity throughout the universe of the live stream.
	And Rumble Studio, which I'm using right now, is going to be making some improvements based on my recommendations after having now thoroughly used this streaming platform, which is amazing.
	Neil deGrasse Tyson, people, is an astrophysicist.
	He's an astrologer.
	Or an astronomist?
	Astrologer? I don't know what the solution is to the problem that I created that never existed before.
	You have sex categories, weight categories, within the sex categories, and that's how it's been, and that's how it's going to be.
	And you want to create a trans category?
	You go ahead and do that.
	Or, because there's no trans...
	Oh, trans.
	There's no biological...
	There's no woman who's just...
	I mean, there's some.
	Manon Rayome.
	Everyone remember Manon Rayome?
	A goaltender who wanted to compete in the NHL, which has no sex.
	It's just a question of merit.
	And there have been, I think, one woman who ever made it into the NHL, Manon Raume.
	It didn't last long.
	There was one female kicker in football as well.
	You want to have biological women who are transitioning into men?
	Let them compete with the men.
	That doesn't seem to be where the issue is.
	The issue is men competing with women and beating the ever-loving piss out of them, literally, in some cases.
	That's the way it's been.
	That's the way it's going to go back to when sanity returns to this earth.
	Susie C over in VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com says, Viva, you have a gamer setup.
	And USMC Burroughs says, keep up the work, make science great again.
	Neil deGrasse Tyson has destroyed his reputation, his legacy, and his future.
	All for what?
	I mean, they've got something on him.
	He was at a ditty party.
	I'm going to look it up.
	All right.
	By the way, if you have any lingering doubts as to why you shouldn't trust...
	Doctors or professionals anymore.
	Bada bing, bada boom.
	Before we even get started, let me thank our two sponsors of the evening.
	And they're interesting and wonderful and new sponsors.
	By the way, okay, so this is a very interesting thing.
	I spent time on the phone with the founder of this company to see how it works.
	CrowdHealth. It's not an insurance, people.
	And I can tell you my experience after having lived in Florida for a little bit of time.
	Now, you have your insurance.
	You pay up the wazoo, out the butt.
	But at the very least, in theory, you have the coverage when you need it.
	Then the only problem is, depending on what you're looking for, sometimes they tell you, oh, that doctor's out of your network, they call it.
	And so you have to go wait to find a doctor in your network.
	Or you pay out of pocket, like I've been doing for some things that came up at the last minute that I didn't want to wait.
	to find someone on my network.
	CrowdHealth is on a mission to revolutionize healthcare.
	It's not health insurance.
	It's a better way to plan for healthcare through crowdfunding.
	Basically, I'm on the phone with the founder and I was like, it sounds a lot like give, send, go for your health.
	And it's something very, very interesting.
	Stop sending money to fear-mongering insurance companies who profit off you while barely covering your medical needs.
	Check out CrowdHealth.
	How does it work?
	For $185 for an individual or $605 for a family of four or more, you get access to a community of people who are willing to help in the event of an emergency.
	You get access to telemedicine visits.
	Discounted prescriptions, because they negotiate your prices down for a lot of this stuff, and much more without doctors' networks getting in the way.
	And of course, you'll join the crowd, a group of members just like you who want to help pay for each other's unexpected medical events.
	Join the CrowdHealth revolution.
	Get help with your healthcare needs today for just $99 per month for your first three months with promo code VIVA, crowdhealth.com.
	CrowdHealth is not insurance.
	Learn more at joincrowdhealth.com.
	It's an interesting thing, and I spent a lot of time on the phone with the founder.
	And it's crowdfunding crowd.
	So everybody, you give a certain amount every month.
	And when you have an emergency or medical need, you submit your receipts.
	They, through their team, negotiate the prices down because it's basically cash payments for the doctor, so you don't have to worry about a network.
	And the other members who are contributing monthly as well.
	Decide to support, contribute to any given person's camp, not campaign, but any needs.
	And you build up credit so that people who don't say no, when their time of need comes around, other people don't say no to them.
	And you basically crowdsource for your healthcare needs and negotiate better prices with their team.
	They have a team that will work with every individual who has a claim.
	It's an amazing thing.
	CrowdHealth, check it out.
	And the link is in the description.
	And our second and last sponsor of the evening, we go from...
	Not health insurance, crowd health, crowd funding to protecting your house.
	This is another thing that I actually had to learn.
	I didn't learn the hard way.
	Touch wood.
	When you get down to Florida, there's a crime called house stealing, also known as title theft, where criminals can transfer your home's title into their name with just a single document.
	I'm living in Florida now, and this didn't happen in Canada, or at least not as much, but Florida is the hotbed for this.
	Family in Sarasota, home title lock caught a cyber thief from New York trying to sell their property on a popular real estate website.
	The thief had fraudulently changed the title, but home title lock quickly detected it and restored the title back to their rightful owner.
	Imagine if they hadn't had a home title lock, it would have been disastrous.
	If you're not monitoring your title, these criminals can get away with this, leaving you, the homeowner, to deal with the aftermath in court.
	Best way to protect your equity is with triple lock protection.
	For more friends at home, title lock.
	Triple lock is 24-7 monitoring alerts.
	You can get a free 30-day trial, free title history report when you use the promo code VIVA30.
	At HomeTitleLock.com or use the link in the description below.
	HomeTitleLock.com, promo code VIVA30 for 30 days of protection with a report for free.
	There was another thing I wanted to start with, by the way, that I decided not to.
	I'm sorry, I just thought, well, can we see this?
	Oh no, I see, I can't.
	Oh no, you see, now I bring up the, can't bring up a GIF in Rumble Studio.
	We're going to talk about a lot tonight.
	And we're going to talk about the Daniel Penny situation.
	And I was going to start with a couple of things.
	We're going to go to one for a bit of humor here.
	But listen to BLM.
	This is coming from Luke Rudkowski.
	And if you don't follow him, you should follow him.
	We are change.
	We are change?
	Luke Rudkowski.
	I was just on with him last week.
	He's amazing.
	He's fantastic.
	BLM. You remember what happened when Derek Chauvin, who, spoiler alert for the woman in this video, got convicted for killing Derek Chauvin, even though...
	Ample evidence suggests that reasonable doubt existed, to say the least.
	Listen to this.
	They're already promising violence if Daniel Penny is not convicted.
	And we're going to talk about the dirtiness that is going on in that courtroom of the judge who's trying to rig to get any form of a conviction out of that jury.
	Listen to this.
	I'm the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Greater New York.
	I stand here heartbroken because I have to hug a father who knows that the murderer of his son will most likely go free.
	Who has to look in the face of a jury that no matter the facts, no matter the expert witnesses, no matter the people yelling on that train that day to let Jordan go, you will kill him.
	Amen.
	I do wonder what world she's living in.
	We'll get into it when Barnes gets here.
	The expert evidence?
	The dude had a lot of drugs in his system.
	Ketamine, from what I understand.
	The expert evidence?
	He was...
	Alive after Penny released the so-called chokehold.
	But wait, wait to see where this goes.
	They're living in a parallel universe of fiction.
	They will not find a white man guilty of killing a black man in modern day America.
	This is no different than Jim Crow.
	Okay, first of all, back it up.
	You will not find, you will not convict a white man for killing a black man in modern day America.
	Set aside how you feel about the convictions, because I actually, after having paid close attention to the Derek Chauvin trial, thought he would get acquitted, believed he should have gotten acquitted because of the reasonable doubt of the drugs that were also in the system of George Floyd.
	The woman makes a statement.
	You will never convict a white man for killing a black man in modern-day America.
	Derek Chauvin has entered the chat.
	Kim Potter has entered the chat.
	You remember the woman who pulled out her real gun instead of her taser?
	Killed, I forget the guy's name.
	No, that's just two.
	In the last, you know, two years.
	Never, never.
	Won't happen.
	Because America's so racist, they don't just actually convict white people for killing black, white cops, white men for killing black people.
	They wrongly convict them.
	Because if I think, you know, Kim Potter, whatever she was guilty of, probably should have been lesser than what she was tried for and convicted of.
	But just, you know, just don't let reality get in the way of a good narrative.
	Man. This looks like a picture out of the picture book when you look at that anonymous jury.
	We have baby boomers who are there doing Jim Crow on this jury.
	We have young people.
	Is this jury intimidation?
	Is this threatening a jury?
	You know when they say jury members don't want to release their names for jury intimidation?
	Yeah, they're right.
	It's just never coming from the right.
	Who are looking at Daniel Penny as a hero?
	And what America is a hero, a killer?
	He didn't give a crap about Jordan.
	The medical examiner said Jordan turned purple.
	Yes, black people can turn purple when they're denied oxygen.
	Every lab report showed he died of asphyxiation.
	And that doesn't matter because they want to spare a white man the penalty of his crimes.
	America has not changed, and I hate to say it, it may never change.
	And people who keep asking, are we going to riot?
	Are we going to protest?
	Is that what's needed?
	Do glass have to break?
	Do cars have to burn for a black man to get justice in America?
	We can't show up with peace.
	We can't show up with facts.
	We can't show up with evidence and witness after witness.
	You give us nothing.
	And then you ask us to love this country.
	America hates black people.
	And we see it from that jury pool.
	Well, that's one heck of a fantastical hissy fit right there.
	Can you believe it?
	I mean, it is nothing but overt jury intimidation in real time.
	They're going to burn the city down if they don't get their way on yet another lynch mob conviction of Daniel Penny.
	I put out a tweet earlier today saying, you know who killed Daniel Penny?
	BLM killed Daniel Penny.
	And there are stats to prove this affirmation, not that BLM literally killed Daniel Penny.
	You make it much more difficult for cops to patrol difficult areas.
	You make them a little bit more reluctant to intervene when a perpetrator is black.
	You're killing black people by doing that.
	And it's either the perpetrators or the victims of the crimes of perpetrators.
	You know who killed Jordan Neely?
	The AOC progressives of this world who would sooner pay more attention to illegal immigrants than to their own struggling citizens.
	You know who killed Daniel?
	Jordan Neely.
	Not Daniel Penny.
	The policies that gave that man access to drugs, left him on the streets, turn-style cash bail systems that just kick him out of prison every single time.
	So that he's on the metro after a three years of history of unprovoked violent assaults on women.
	And then he's flipping his shit because he's high off as a kite off ketamine.
	You guys watch some videos of what people high on drugs can do.
	I mean, literally eat faces.
	And I'm not trying to be funny.
	That's a different drug.
	I think that's Crocodile.
	They will literally eat faces.
	You got some dude with a history of violence.
	Oh, but he didn't assault anyone on that train.
	And you get these virtue signaling jackasses on the internet.
	Oh, Daniel Penny's a murderer.
	Jordan Neely should be.
	He should be alive today.
	If the system in that communist hellhole of a state in New York worked.
	If you didn't squander.
	Hundreds of millions of dollars on illegal immigrants because you created a problem on a whole cloth that you have no solution to.
	Going back to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jordan Neely would still be alive.
	That's right.
	And now they're threatening the jury.
	Now they're threatening this city.
	Get another lynch mob, unjust conviction of a white person who had to intervene and probably save people on that bus.
	And by the way, I don't know what fantastical world she's living in.
	I didn't hear anybody saying, please stop.
	I didn't hear anybody on that Metro saying that it was Metro's Canadian subway.
	Saying that Daniel Penny is a murderer.
	I heard them saying that he's an actual hero.
	You're going to hear what's going on in the court.
	And when Barnes gets in here, I see him in the backdrop.
	Wait until you hear.
	They go from a lynch mob prosecution.
	They want to get a lynch mob conviction.
	And if they can't eke out the lynch mob conviction, the judge is going to do his best to make sure that they're not at the front of his front door like they were at Kavanaugh's.
	Robert Barnes, sir, how goes the battle?
	Surviving. Okay.
	Well, we'll get back to good good in a couple of weeks.
	You did a bourbon with Barnes last week, and the community was happy, relieved, and you're looking on the mend.
	Robert, we got the shirt, We'll Be Wild.
	That's what Trump said in his tweet that was impeachable for a January 6th conspiracy.
	Oh, yeah.
	So, let me see.
	I think I can list off what we're talking about tonight.
	It's going to be one heck of a banger show, but we're obviously starting with Daniel Penny.
	On the menu, I'll do it.
	Trans... Oh, my gosh.
	The oral arguments of the trans treatments for kids.
	The Daniel Penny...
	You're going to make sense of this because I think now we've got more information we can make sense of it.
	Hawk to a chick.
	That's so many dirty jokes.
	There's a scandal with her meme coin or whatever the heck it was.
	Syria is going down.
	We're going to talk about that as well, or at least it's not going down, but...
	It's an amazing thing how crossing certain lines in the last two months in terms of striking within Russia, regime overthrow in the last month.
	It's amazing.
	They can't let peace reign.
	And a bunch of other stuff, Robert.
	Okay, look.
	We're on the Daniel Penny trial topic right now.
	We'll start with that one.
	Setting aside all of that intro, Robert.
	The trial came, the trial went.
	By all accounts, and I've got a former EMT up in Canada who helps me make sense of these things.
	Chet, thank you for a very thorough breakdown of why they don't administer mouth-to-mouth on someone overdosing on ketamine.
	The trial came, the trial went.
	There's some very, very...
	It's not just attenuating evidence.
	It's like, reasonable doubt is not just the way this was.
	If not clear self-defense, a clear necessity to prevent violent assault, there's good reason to believe.
	Neely died, not as a result of the chokehold, but as a result of a ketamine overdose because it occurred later on.
	He was still breathing after the chokehold was released.
	A whole bunch of stuff that lends to not just reasonable doubt, but outright acquittal.
	The issue is that there seems to be some holdouts on that jury that they cannot come to a unanimous acquittal.
	And whether or not it has anything to do with the guy wearing two masks who's depicted in that court drawing, which I'll bring up when you talk.
	They can't come to a universal acquittal on the greater charge, which is second-degree manslaughter.
	I hope that's the right charge.
	The other one is criminally negligent homicide.
	And shit got a little wonky on Friday, where it sounded like the judge was saying, don't tell them what is exactly happening with the greater charge or the higher charge.
	Just tell them it's dismissed and don't tell them it's an acquittal.
	And let them go back and deliberate on the lesser charge, which carries upwards of a four-year maximum sentence.
	There was some confusion as to whether or not it was being concealed that the judge was concealing or setting aside the fact that there was a hung jury on the greater charge, which could lead to a retrial on that hung jury charge, as opposed to what actually happened, which was an outright dismissal from the prosecution that was objected to by the defense, which means that you can't be retried for it.
	And so the judge wanted to hide that fact from the jury while sending them back to deliberate on the lesser charge.
	And a lot of people were rightly screaming scandal on the interwebs.
	And I mean, you tell me if this is, the judge said in his, according to the reporting from Intercity Press, I'll take my chance with your theory, people's motion, and not explain to them the consequences, the legal consequences of the dismissal, which is tantamount to an acquittal.
	How dirty is it, Robert?
	I mean, to a degree, it's commonplace.
	In other words, the judges sort of do whatever prosecutors want them to do far more often than not.
	And most people are just unaware of this because they don't normally see the criminal justice process unfurl or unfold in a public way or not paying much attention to it because they have no reason to.
	And so consequently, they don't realize how common this kind of behavior is.
	Now, this particular instruction...
	Choosing to go from an Allen instruction, which is controversial in its own accord, which many defense lawyers feel is a coercive instruction intended to force the holdout to quit holding out, is the assumption that most prosecutors and judges have when they give an Allen charge, is that the holdout is a defense holdout, not the other way around.
	Could you explain?
	I know what it is that many people might not.
	Alan Sharge is basically go back and really, really try to come to a conclusion.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Many defense lawyers, and I concur with them, see it as an attempt to intimidate the jury into not performing their job.
	If there's a juror that says, hey, look, I don't believe he's guilty, that you shouldn't get barraged by the judge, well, you need to go back and rethink that.
	Because what message does that send?
	Because that's, in essence, what typically happens here.
	And so that's its own controversial component.
	I mean, this is a case that would not have been brought in 90% of the country.
	It was only brought in New York because he's the wrong race, that the victim was black and he was white.
	If it was the other way around, because the other way around has happened in New York with this prosecutor, and they have not prosecuted.
	So they're prosecuting him because he's the wrong race, as Jeremy Carlton pointed out.
	It's also part of a broader pattern of wanting to eviscerate self-defense, to say that the only people who have the right of defense are the government, to give the state a monopoly on the use of force and deprive it of us, which is what the Second Amendment is supposed to be there for.
	The Second Amendment being broader than just the right to bear arms, it's the right to have your self-defense against others, including the government or anyone else.
	And not having to depend or rely exclusively on the government for that.
	So that's sort of the political backstory of what's happening in New York.
	So he was the right race to prosecute, the right undermining self-defense prosecution that they wanted.
	It's similar to the Rittenhouse case out of Wisconsin, where the straightforward self-defense wouldn't have been brought in many jurisdictions was because of the particular politics of the prosecutor in that case.
	And here the X factor was the jury.
	That you have a Manhattan jury pool, and having dealt with them, the Manhattan jury pool in past cases, including political cases, like the so-called Central Park Karen case of Amy Cooper and others, we did surveys on that.
	We tested the...
	There's a lot of bad jurors.
	So the fact that you have a double-masked guy is not, you know, is probably...
	I mean, what's the likelihood that juror is a pro-defense juror?
	Hard to imagine that, to be honest with you, because it sounds like an intimidated, authoritarian personality who will do what the state tells them to do.
	And not just that, someone who's so germ and erotic, they're not taking the subway in any event, and they don't have to deal with any of that crap.
	Probably working from home.
	Correct. So it always came down to the jury and the, could you get a reasonable jury?
	And there were two aspects of that.
	One was, could you get a reasonable jury in the sense of...
	An acquittal, which is what I think a reasonable jury would do in most cases.
	But in Manhattan, it would be probably more half a dozen of this, half a dozen of the other.
	You're probably looking as much to put people on the jury that will just not convict no matter what.
	But because you're probably going to get stuck with jurors who want to convict no matter what.
	And what the judge did was basically give an instruction, go back and give me a conviction.
	And ignore the top count that you can't agree on.
	So that is an unusual phenomenon in New York.
	As the defense counsel pointed out, this encourages prosecutors to overcharge if they can just dismiss the charges come verdict time.
	The disincentive for prosecutors to overcharge is that if they can't get an agreement in New York on that top count, they don't go to the lower counts.
	Is my understanding.
	And so that's why they took a gamble.
	The gamble backfired on them.
	And they were like, okay, let's pretend we never took this gamble.
	And the judge was like, yeah, I agree.
	We need to convict this kid no matter what.
	That's really what's going on.
	And the question is whether or not there's enough honest, honorable jurors to make sure he's not convicted of a crime he did not do.
	So they go back to, or they're back in deliberations.
	They're not sequestered.
	From what I understand, some of them are following the media, so they're listening to the Black Lives Matter lady threaten their safety if they don't give them the conviction they want.
	And they come back tomorrow to adjudicate on the lesser charge, which was criminally negligent homicide, which is still a felony that carries a maximum sentence of four years.
	Correct. So at least he doesn't face an extended time in prison, but it's ridiculous that he faces any time in prison.
	All right, well, I hear something here.
	Son of a gun.
	Sorry, I was going to just say that I'm able now to toggle between screens without seeing the spinning wheel of death.
	This computer is fast and furious, people.
	Oh, yeah, you got the new one, right?
	No, well, the new one that I ordered, a member of our community in Cryptis said I should get as much unified memory as possible, and so it was an add-on, and it cost, like, extra money, and I had to wait, like, two weeks for the computer to come.
	And then, like, I'm sitting here.
	Two weeks and two days, it's not here.
	I look and they canceled the order and I didn't get any notifications.
	So I just ordered a sort of standard 16-inch with 48 gigs of unified memory.
	And thus far, it's very good.
	Let me read three Rumble Rants before they disappear.
	$50 from Chance Uptimor says, I am a Jan Sixer with exclusive footage regarding Agent Provocateur.
	I was a victim of FBI lawfare charged with the same rare statute Biden was just pardoned for.
	Your viewers might be interested in my story.
	I'm willing to do an interview if you are, as am I. So I've screen grabbed that and I'm going to chance up Timor and I'll see if I can get you.
	If I can find a way to get in touch with you, you can try to find me on Twitter.
	Then we got Boz Bundelo says, What drivel?
	Very unfortunate time for her.
	You don't want to expose yourself too much when everyone knows you are stealing money and committing fraud.
	And I presume that's about the Black Lives Matter fraud.
	It would be beautiful to see $10 Daniel Penny supporters.
	Oh, 10,000 Daniel Penny supporters outside the courthouse on Monday.
	Yeah, until they call that an insurrection and use the powers of the FBI to go after all of them.
	Robert, okay, before we head on...
	Everybody, by the way, if you're new to the channel, we start on all four platforms.
	YouTube, Twitter, Rumble, and VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
	Then we vote with our feet and our dollars, and we head over to Rumble and Locals.
	And then we have a Locals afterparty for supporters only.
	What I was going to say is, before we go over there, let's deal with the big frickin' news of the day.
	Assad regime has fallen.
	Who the hell has caused them to fall?
	How the hell does it happen now?
	What the hell happens now?
	From what I understand, Assad and his family have fled to and sought refuge in Russia.
	David Axelrod had a great joke that Assad went and spent the night over at Tulsi Gabbard's couch, and I'm like, you effing pervert.
	A, it's always about stupid sex with you, disgusting pervs, and also your comedy is about as good as your political insight.
	Rebels have overthrown the Assad regime and chased him out of the country.
	And now what this means...
	I mean, now you see Netanyahu and Israel talking about going in.
	I don't know if they're already bombing chemical factories or whatever the heck they're going to do.
	I don't know who's going to replace Assad.
	It sounds like it's going to be highly Islamic regimes, which I don't know how you measure levels of badness, but that might not be better than Assad.
	What do you make of this?
	Why now is this another military industrial complex initiated, instigated, subsidized coup to overthrow Assad that they've wanted to do for the last decade plus?
	Yeah, I mean, really, it's sort of a decision that was made some time ago that we went from, you know, you had the Ottoman Empire, which controlled most of the Middle East, even if it was kind of weak by the 19th century.
	That was replaced by the Brits and the French and everybody getting together in World War I. And the Brits and the French made all kinds of promises.
	Greater Syria was one of the very original first ever promises made.
	That that was going to be given to certain royal wings within the Arab world if they would rebel against the Ottoman Empire.
	And so, of course, we made competing and conflicting promises to different groups and different people.
	And the French wanted their peace.
	The Brits wanted their peace.
	The Americans wanted their peace.
	So you have all these competing, conflicting areas of empire making conflicting promises to different groups within the Arab world over a century ago, of which many promises were not kept.
	And we're still experiencing the fallout from that more than a century later.
	And part of what the...
	What sort of median compromise was by some groups within that realm was that they would have sort of either royalist or secular leaders.
	It's secular in the sense that they weren't over-the-top Islamist in the way that, say, Iran is or Hamas is.
	And you had some of that in Nasser in Egypt.
	And Nasser, for a while, united with Syria.
	And Assad's father came up under that power regime.
	You have Kurds.
	You have different Islamic groups.
	You have Christian groups that have long been there.
	And then you have conflicts between there and Lebanon, conflicts between there and Israel, and everybody wanting to dominate the Islamic world.
	So Nasser wanting to be the leader of the Islamic world.
	MBS currently wants to be the leader from Saudi Arabia of the Islamic world.
	The Iranians wanting to be the leaders.
	Of the Islamic world, this sort of Islamist mantle claim to power that they have sought out now for over a century, with the backdrop of these various betrayals and empire politics constantly creating conflict in the region.
	And you had a relatively peaceful time period, all things being considered, for a pretty extended time period in the 60s through the 80s in the sense of between Nasser and others in Egypt.
	The Assad regime in Syria, the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq, the Gaddafi regime in Libya.
	These were not Islamists.
	These were not Islamist supremacists.
	These were people who were even occasionally sporadically critical of various Islamist supremacist mindsets and mentality.
	And after the end of the Soviet Union, General Clark talked about.
	People, the CIA and the rest decided that they wanted to break up.
	That was a great opportunity to remove Russia's influence in the Middle East and take over the Middle East and sort of recreate what they created with the Shah back in the 70s and 60s in Iran.
	And then what we did was unleash every kind of...
	We sided with everybody at one time or another.
	So there's no bad guy.
	We have not been on the side, though.
	If you want to look up an interesting article, Anti-Soviet Leader Wins in Afghanistan.
	Go find that headline from the New York Times.
	Find who the photo is of that Americans were cheering that day.
	They were cheering, of course, Osama bin Laden.
	He is the anti-Soviet leader Americans had helped free Afghanistan for.
	How did that turn out?
	I mean, Afghanistan, disaster.
	Libya, disaster.
	Iraq, disaster.
	Lebanon, disaster.
	And now we're going to have Syria, disaster.
	These people can't help themselves.
	They are thrilled and ecstatic at their removal of Assad.
	You could be critical of Assad.
	I mean, the regimes were not known for their kindness or politeness in the way they handled a whole bunch of things, known for torture and other bad treatment of a range of groups.
	But you always in the Middle East or anyplace else have to ask, what's the alternative?
	And it's the number one question our elites don't ask because they don't care.
	Well, I mean, what are the alternatives in Syria?
	Oh, they're all Islamists.
	ISIS or Al-Qaeda?
	Look, the U.S. State Department, the guy that just is now the head of Syria, was a listed wanted man for $10 million just eight years ago by the U.S. State Department.
	He's one of the leading Islamist terrorists in the world.
	That's who just took over Syria.
	And that's who our so-called smart people are praising.
	That's who David Axelrod is praising.
	That's who the establishment types and the Ukraine lovers are praising.
	They're praising a known terrorist with one of the most vicious reputations in the world.
	Now, how did this come about?
	It came about entirely because the other leader that people forget about in that region that wants to be the Islamic leader of the world.
	It's been a phenomenon in the Islamic world ever since we've seeded the idea to take out the Ottomans.
	We were the ones that came in and said, shouldn't you be the great Arab leader of the world?
	Shouldn't you be the great Islamic leader of the world?
	Why should you be dominated by the Ottomans?
	Well, guess who it is that wants to restore that Ottoman Empire?
	It is the one and only President Erdogan of Turkey.
	This is his group.
	He's organized them.
	He's protected them.
	He's safeguarded them.
	He's funded them.
	He's trained them.
	He's armed them.
	But it would have not been any chance of success if the U.S., the U.K., and France were not neck deep in this.
	And this, again, goes centuries old.
	I mean, U.S., U.K., and France have been messing around in Syria for more than 100 years, helped create what is called Syria.
	When it was called Greater Syria, before that.
	And we've gone back and forth at who we're going to be buddies and pals with.
	But the removal of Assad just destabilizes a huge part of a country and removes somebody from that region that has kept stability in that region that otherwise is probably going to now look like Iraq and Libya.
	So, you know, we're just going to be waiting for the human trafficking centers to be in the center of Damascus, this historically religious city.
	The Christians are already nervous about what might happen.
	Most of the Christians have already fled Syria over the years, as they have fled Lebanon much over the years, despite what some people have said in that space.
	Track it, you'll see otherwise.
	Same in the Gaza Strip.
	There used to be a lot more Christians in Gaza than there are today.
	That isn't because of Israelis, by the way.
	But it's just a disaster waiting to happen.
	And they've seeded this disaster on Trump's lap, that Trump's going to come into a region with Syria.
	What he has said is he wants the U.S. out of it.
	Even though he's talking about the U.S. should stay out of it, that's true, but the U.S. has not stayed out of it.
	The U.S. has been neck deep in it.
	The U.S. has been all over the place, seizing property, seizing oil, seizing foods, seizing items, bombing places, providing troops, providing intel.
	Without the United States, they never would have been able to overthrow Assad.
	And how likely is it that overthrowing Assad will turn out any better than overthrowing Gaddafi or overthrowing Husseini?
	I doubt it.
	And it's not just that.
	They don't have nuclear weapons, but they clearly have chemical weapons and biological weapons.
	And the argument was...
	Who was the actual culprit of using those on Syrians back when there was what I think most agree now was a false flag, or at least it wasn't Assad that had used the chemical weapons on his people.
	Hypothetically, these weapons fall into the hands of somebody.
	And somebody, in as much as Assad was a bad guy, and there's no like...
	Downplaying that.
	He wasn't using those chemical or biological weapons for international terrorism.
	The same cannot and obviously is not necessarily even going to be true of the entities that will replace Assad and take control over these weapons.
	Well, yeah, not only that, you have how the issues are going to be resolved with Iran, which has various militias and proxies at present in Syria, how Lebanon handles it, how Hezbollah handles it.
	You know, you've got all these...
	You've created this huge space.
	So Israel's reaction is, well, now Syria can no longer safeguard their treaties.
	So we're going to go into the Golan Heights and some of those sections and secure those.
	And apparently we're part of bombing various places they thought had stored chemical weapons before the other groups could get their hands on them.
	That's the concern.
	As you mentioned, that's one of the concerns, is what weapons will they now get?
	The Syrian army has left to Iraq.
	That's basically an extension of Iran now.
	Assad was trying to balance out his father and try to create a coalition.
	He was working with the Gulf states and other states.
	Now that's gone.
	Syria is either going to be an extension of Turkey or an extension of Iran.
	That's kind of where we're at currently.
	Either way, we're probably going to have looting, rioting, crime.
	Religious violence, sectarian violence, all those things.
	That's what Libya became.
	That's what Iraq became.
	There's no reason to think Syria will be any different.
	bring this one up here.
	Did you bring it up?
	Opportunity for whom?
	Sorry. It's tough not to be very, very cynical of everything, but listen to this.
	Thank you.
	Am I supposed to be listening to something?
	Oh, was that you, Robert?
	I'm not seeing anything.
	Oh, you're not.
	Hold on.
	Am I an idiot?
	I think it's just you looking at the camera.
	Yeah, I'm just an idiot.
	That's not the computer, guys.
	You see it now?
	Yeah, I don't see it yet.
	Hold on.
	What the heck is going on?
	This might not be me.
	Okay, I'm here.
	I'm going to open this.
	Yeah, it's great.
	I'm nice.
	I'm watching a video that nobody's watching.
	Now you see it.
	I don't.
	What the?
	The name is going on.
	Hold on.
	I'm in presentation.
	Well, that's very weird.
	Stop share screen.
	Well, I shared the screen during this very stream.
	Duo, presentation.
	It's Netanyahu talking about it.
	How is this possible that I literally shared already during this stream?
	It's Mossad.
	Well, it's Netanyahu talking about what a great event this is.
	It's a momentous day.
	I've never understood that mindset.
	I've never understood the mindset that Netanyahu has.
	That anybody that's ever opposed Israel, their removal is a good thing.
	Because it's like, who's going to replace them?
	I mean, Hussein was not the threat that Iraq is now.
	Libya under Gaddafi was not the threat that it is now.
	Syria, without Assad, is a greater threat to Israel than it was before then.
	So it's like, how is there anything to cheer here?
	I'm not understanding that at all.
	But they've often had this very, at least Netanyahu, short-minded...
	Short, short sense, you know, short-term sense of just, this guy's bad, he's gone, that means good.
	And he's often been dead wrong about that.
	I mean, just like his promoting Hamas to compete with the PLO and Fatah.
	I mean, that totally backfired on him.
	And he just hasn't had to pay a political price for it.
	But it was clearly a disaster in what it led to.
	And I think this is another example of that.
	It seems unable to share the screen.
	The clip is on the internet.
	Go watch it if you want to see what appears to be someone reveling in the outcome that they've always wanted.
	It's happened because they were so hard on Hezbollah and...
	Oh, jeez.
	What's the other one in Israel?
	Hezbollah and...
	Oh, jeez.
	The other terrorist group.
	Hamas. It's because they were so hard on them that Syria has magically fallen.
	It was just purely Turkey doing what they wanted to do.
	And Russia being in a careful position.
	Now, I mean, clearly Assad, there were issues with how he had managed and how his father had managed the government.
	I mean, a big part of Syria's problems are of Assad's own making.
	No doubt about that.
	But without all the foreign intervention, the Assad regime would still control Syria.
	Let's do one more quickly before we head on over.
	Oh, we got the pardons.
	I mean, we got the pardons as predicted.
	No less.
	Well, pardons...
	Okay, we're going to lump all this together.
	Pardons as predicted.
	What's his face?
	Chad Cronister withdrew his candidacy.
	So we have a bit of a microphone here, peeps, and people are listening.
	The pardon, Robert.
	Okay. What day of the week?
	Was that only last week, the pardon?
	It happened the day we were live, and then the fallout happened afterwards.
	Joe Biden has made the Democrats look like a bunch of lying jackasses, period.
	Dan Goldman especially is the grossest of lying jackasses on the internet.
	The montage of Karine Jean-Pierre saying, no, I'm not going to pardon.
	No, the answer is still no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Yes. A decade.
	A blanket.
	I'm going to ask you the first question that I want to ask.
	Joe Biden gets a 10-year blanket pardon for everything for which he was charged, potentially charged, and anything that has not yet happened that we didn't know about.
	Blanket for a decade of immunity at the federal level.
	People were saying on the internet, yeah, well, now he can't plead the fifth anymore.
	And then during a stream last week, someone says, yeah, well, he could still plead the fifth because he could still be incriminating himself potentially at a state level or an international court if we want to go there.
	But let's stick with the state level.
	So it is legally correct that once you've been given a pardon...
	You can no longer invoke the Fifth because there's no risk of incrimination, but how does that play in terms of a potential state prosecution, which he could incriminate himself in by speaking if summoned before Congress?
	It depends on the circumstances, is the short answer.
	So it depends on what the state prosecution can be, as to how it interacts with the question and the pardon, and as to whether or not you still have any degree.
	You don't have Fifth Amendment immunity for federal prosecution.
	Because you're immune for anything that the pardon covers from federal prosecution.
	So the question becomes, does the question concern state prosecution?
	And in that instance, can you assert the Fifth Amendment right if you have its equivalent under the state constitution, which you often do?
	Or you could argue that the due process clause against the states in general.
	And that will depend on the specific nature of the question and the specific nature of the risk under the state law.
	Okay. People are also saying that the pardon is actually just Biden covering his own ass because now Hunter will not be able to testify.
	In theory, he won't be able to be prosecuted for financial crimes, which would tie their way into Joe Biden's influence peddling that had occurred over the last decade.
	By the way, the decade, the 2014 starting point is when Biden joined Burisma.
	Yes. No coincidence there.
	So, what's your take on whether or not this protects Biden?
	Because, first of all, I mean, he's on his way out, not just of the office, but of this planet, and not wishing any ill.
	He's 81 years old and clearly past his due date.
	I mean, what do you make of this?
	Is he protecting himself?
	Does he still got exposure?
	Has anyone else in the family still got any meaningful legal exposure for the family crime syndicate that is the Biden family?
	Oh, I mean, no doubt.
	The sister, the brother, and Joe himself.
	and Jill would all have exposure because of the way they were so systemic in their criminal family operations.
	But they were also a critical component of deep state criminality.
	And that's, I think, where the real protection is ultimately.
	And so by protecting the Bidens, he protected.
	I would anticipate more pardons coming.
	What I said from day one is that he would never let the sun go in, and he'd let the sun know that, that he would pardon him when the time was right, after the election.
	So that prediction has now come to fruition.
	The only question is, does the other prediction come to fruition?
	Does he extend the pardon to others, such as Donald Trump?
	Does he extend it to other members of his own family?
	Does he extend it to Anthony Fauci?
	Does he extend it to a whole bunch of deep state Democrats?
	Or high-ranking rhino Republicans who don't want any scrutiny coming their way for what they've been up to the last decade or so.
	Whether that's Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell's wife.
	I mean, you know, there's a lot of people that belong in prison up there in Washington.
	And all of them would like pardons.
	So now that he's already opened the door by pardoning his son, expect that door to be opened up further.
	You're already seeing prominent Democrats saying, hey, pardon Trump too.
	Fetterman was making the round saying pardon Trump.
	The Congressman Clyburn from South Carolina was making the round saying, yeah, let's pardon Trump.
	Some other prominent Democrats, Bill Clinton was even suggesting pardon Trump and extend the pardons.
	Just pardon a whole bunch of people.
	And they're already starting with the pitch that we talked about that they would use two years ago.
	Said the pitch would be, we need to get past all this politics.
	We can't be dragged down by all of this.
	Let's just move on.
	Pardon everybody on the way out the door.
	And that's already their pitch they're making.
	Clyburn was already saying it this morning on the Sunday morning shows, saying that, hey, you know, it's time to move on.
	We can't get dragged down in this way.
	Let's just pardon everybody across the board politically.
	And it's just a coincidence 98% of them will be Democrats or COVID criminals.
	I was going to ask something.
	Okay, so the pardon.
	Does Biden pardon?
	He can pardon himself as well.
	Oh, absolutely.
	I know some people want to limit the pardon power.
	First of all, the plain language of the Constitution doesn't limit it.
	It talks about reprievals and pardons.
	It puts no restriction whatsoever on it.
	The history of it would not favor restricting that power whatsoever.
	So just because you don't like who Joe Biden may pardon is no reason at all to take away the Constitution's grant of that power to the President.
	What it is, it should be a green light to Donald John Trump to really exercise the pardon power in the way our founders meant to.
	Use it to highlight problematic cases.
	Use it to highlight the January 6th case.
	Use it to highlight Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in those cases.
	But go beyond those.
	Use it to highlight the meme case.
	I mean, obviously he should be pardoned, Mackey, out of the Eastern District of New York.
	But there's other cases along those lines.
	Pardon Julian Assange.
	Pardon Edward Snowden.
	Pardon, or at least commute, Ross Ulbricht.
	Pardon Roger Ver, Bitcoin Jesus, as he's colloquially known.
	Pardon any of these people that have been caught up or targeted for political reasons over the past decade.
	There are people that have already served their time that deserve pardons as well.
	And just highlight these cases that, hey, our Justice Department got out of hand.
	Our FBI got out of hand.
	Our criminal agencies, enforcement agencies got out of hand.
	Our federal judiciary got out of hand.
	And highlight them week after week after week with high-profile pardon after pardon after pardon.
	Don't look at what Biden did as a reason to complain about what Biden did.
	You look at it as an opportunity to use that power in a way that it was intended by the founders, which is a robust power, and to highlight and to educate the broader American public.
	On how out of control the civil and criminal justice systems have become in the United States in the past half decade.
	And use high-profile cases to attract attention to it.
	Whether it's the January 6th cases, Steve Bannon, Bitcoin Jesus, Julian Assange, Edward Snowden.
	Look at every single whistleblower that Obama prosecuted.
	Every single whistleblower that Biden prosecuted.
	Pardon every single one of them.
	That you can't trust those prosecutions.
	You can't trust the way those prosecutions were handled.
	You can't trust the way those administrative operations took place.
	So that Trump should use it as an opportunity to really use the pardon for the people it was intended for.
	Correcting one thing earlier, it was not ketamine.
	It was K2, the synthetic marijuana, which has been linked to loss of conscience, tachycardia, diffuse pain.
	K2, not ketamine, so correcting myself, everybody.
	Thank you.
	The question was this whole, going back to the pardon, people are asking also, can the pardon ever be revisited?
	Can someone undermine Biden's pardon?
	Okay, and now on Friday, I had on Coy Griffin, who was, I didn't know that there was a distinction between, is there essentially a pardon of innocence versus a pardon?
	Is there a distinction from the presidential level?
	In terms of whether or not the pardon can say, I'm not just forgiving you for what you did, but I'm also proclaiming you innocent in this pardon?
	You can say that, but legally it's the same.
	Okay. And by the way, just an FYI for everybody.
	If you go to, it is givesendgo.com forward slash fight if you do want to help out with Koi.
	I can't share it because I can't see the screen.
	And someone said refresh.
	I'm not refreshing because the lesser problem is not being able to share the screen.
	I refresh and end this stream.
	Not doing that.
	Although we'll see if it allows us to end on YouTube and go over to Rumble, which is what we're going to do right now.
	Before we do that, and I can't show all of the rants.
	Chet Chisholm says, Jordan Dilley was on K2, a synthetic cannabinoid.
	My mistake early when I thought K, I thought it was ketamine.
	Still dangerous, causes cardiac issues and high enough doses.
	At Texley, I wish Trump would tap janitor Gus Perna for DEA admin.
	He developed and ran Operation Warp Speed.
	Drug trafficking is a logistics enterprise.
	Jen Perna was the Army's four-star logistics expert.
	Retired now.
	V6neon says, Democrats doing...
	A Sergeant Schultz, German accent, regarding pardons.
	Cover up in lawfare.
	I know nothing.

	I hear nothing.

	Cameron Mike not doing that.
	And Schmickle.

	Voter lists, same thing happened in BC elections.
	check out at TheRomanded on X. Robert, do you still see me?
	Not knowing if I'm still viewable, I'm going to go ahead and refresh.
	going to go ahead and refresh.
	So, what just happened?
	Let's see if Robert comes back in here.
	All right, Robert, now can I switch windows?
	I can do like this.
	When did everyone lose me?
	Only for a second, I think.
	Okay, good.
	Just refresh, Damon.
	Let's see.
	I refreshed.
	Let's just see if this works now.
	Do you see anything?
	Yeah. Oh, looky, looky.
	Dude, once bitten, twice shy.
	I don't want to refresh because the last time I did that.
	Pinochet's helicopter tour says, enough with the pardons.
	If thousands of corrupt feds and politicians are not destroyed for what they did, they'll do it again.
	If you rig the ballot box, nullify the juror box with pardons.
	Nah, I'm not reading that part.
	But Robert, the pardons...
	Don't end state prosecutions.
	So, hypothetically, Hunter Biden, sex traffic.
	I don't know where this...
	They can still go after him at the state level.
	Yes, yes.
	Just not for tax issues.
	So, I don't know.
	With Hunter, it seems a little bit illusory.
	Oh, it's because nobody's gone after him at the state level.
	Hmm. Okay.
	Well, let me see here.
	Damn it.
	Oh, here we go.
	Now we can listen to Bibi for a second.
	Yeah. Listen to this.
	This is a historic day for the Middle East.
	That's great.
	The collapse of the Assad regime, the tyranny in Damascus, offers great opportunity, but also is brought to significant dangers.
	This collapse is a direct result of our forceful action against Hezbollah in Iran, Assad's main supporters.
	It set off a chain reaction of all those who want to free themselves from this tyranny and its oppression.
	But it also means we have to take action against possible threats.
	One of them is the collapse of the Separation of Forces Agreement from 1974 between Israel and Syria.
	This agreement held for 50 years.
	Last night it collapsed.
	The Syrian army abandoned its positions.
	We gave the Israeli army the order to take over those positions to ensure that no hostile force embeds itself right next to the border of Israel.
	There is only hostile forces in Syria, left in Syria.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, for the most part, I mean, I don't know what some Assad supporters and some Christian groups and others that are still present.
	Because the collapse took place so fast.
	Because the army had imploded without recognition that it had imploded.
	The position until a suitable arrangement is found.
	Equally, we send a hand of peace to all those beyond our border in Syria.
	To the Jews, to the Kurds.
	To the Christians and to the Muslims who want to live in peace with Israel.
	We're going to follow events very carefully if we can establish neighborly relations and a peaceful relations with the new forces emerging in Syria.
	That's our desire.
	But if we do not, we'll do whatever it takes to defend the state of Israel and the border of Israel.
	It's amazing.
	If you analogize that to COVID, it's a great opportunity.
	Temporary measures.
	It'll be temporary until it's suitable, and this is going to...
	Yeah, I've never understood the logic.
	I mean, it was clear that Syria was a manageable partner for Israel, for the Middle East, for anybody else under Assad.
	Now it's not.
	How is that an improvement?
	How has this worked out good for anybody yet?
	It's like, oh yeah, I see all these people cheering on the internet.
	And it's like, you're the same people who cheered when Afghanistan fell.
	You're the same people who cheered when Libya fell.
	And you're the same people who cheered when Iraq fell.
	All three have been utter disasters.
	Why do you think Syria will be any different?
	I'm yet to hear a single persuasive argument for it from any of these cheerleader types.
	All right, we are moving over to Rumble or Locals.
	The links are there.
	Thank you to our sponsors of The Evening, CrowdHealth, and Home Title Lock.
	Check out the links.
	They're in the description.
	And now I'm going to update the stream.
	Make sure I don't do anything stupid with my fat fingers here.
	I'm going to go like this.
	Rumble at Locals, and it's going to end on Twitter, or X, and Commitube.
	Get your butts on over if you don't want to.
	It will be on podcast tomorrow, and the entire stream will be posted as well, either on Viva Fry or Viva Clips.
	I'll see which way I want to screw things up.
	By the way, was that snake a poisonous snake or not, the one that you were picking up and throwing around?
	The consensus is it was the brown-bellied mud snake.
	They're not venomous, but they're nervous, which means...
	Snakes bite, man.
	I don't want to get bit by a non-venomous snake.
	That thing looked pissed also, but it was better than getting run over by a club.
	It did look ticked off.
	But Ethan was ready to just go in there and just get a hold of him.
	Now that we know what it looks like, I don't say I'll let him get bit.
	That might be neglect.
	He wanted to, but we'll do it sooner than later.
	Come on over to Rumble or vivabardslaw.locals.com 3, 2, 1. Okay, what do we go on to?
	While we're talking about...
	Stupid decisions.
	Well, we got Trump Secretary of Defense appointees and other nominees.
	That could be the easiest transition.
	I don't know if there's a natural transition to hock to a girl.
	No, but there's...
	I can't even make the jokes.
	I was going to say stupid decisions and let's talk about Sotomayor's reasoning in the trans case.
	But no, we should finish off the second half of this.
	So, Chad Cronister.
	Withdrew his application.
	Do we know why?
	Because I didn't hear any reason why.
	There was enough blowback in the court of public opinion that Trump, and Trump came out and said he asked him to step down, that he was unaware of some of the statements and activities he had done during COVID, didn't want to relitigate COVID as part of his DEA nomination, so asked him to step down, and he did. So that was nice to see.
	This was someone that Susie Wiles recommended, his chief of staff.
	Poor recommendation, in my view.
	She should have known that about him, but she was on the pro-COVID lockdown side, so that's why she's...
	People like that around Trump are still unaware of the degree to which those issues are hot-button problems.
	And it wouldn't surprise me if she was the one pushing for either Ernst or DeSantis to replace Hexit, because those are her allies as well.
	Someone had asked about a question about Trump.
	Oh, cripe, I'll have to go.
	I know I screen-grabbed it.
	So Cronister withdrew, and that's good.
	Who else did he...
	Hanks if they're standing strong, which is the Secretary of Defense, which is relevant to the whole Syria topic, because he's a guy who served the country a long time, came back, and slowly began to second-guess the Pentagon's established logic.
	Of war abroad and war in the Middle East and war in Europe and war in Afghanistan, war everywhere else.
	So he went from being the true blue patriotic, fly the flag, militaristic soldier serving in the field to someone who said, hold on a second, are we really serving our soldiers?
	Are we really serving our country?
	And that's why Mitch McConnell doesn't like him.
	That's why Jody Ernst, who's always been a waste of space, doesn't represent the people of Iowa well at all, has always been a war whore.
	From day one, that's who Ernst is.
	Campaign is a fraud that she was going to clean up the corruption.
	She is the corruption.
	She always has been the corruption.
	The mistake she made is she thought she could take front aim at Hegseth and dispatch him.
	And instead is now getting massive blowback from Trump world.
	That she's probably now going to be challenged in the Republican primary in 2026 in Iowa.
	And that's a state where...
	Susan Collins is a waste of time to challenge her.
	It's a Democratic state in Maine.
	In Alaska, because of that whole rank choice voting, that's how Murkowski can hold on to power, despite the Republicans trying to throw her out repeatedly.
	Because she doesn't really represent the Republican side.
	She inherited that seat and then stole it.
	But Ernst is easily defeatable.
	In a state that Trump just won by almost 14 points.
	Iowa is a historic anti-war state, especially.
	That's what makes her position the most preposterous.
	She ran to be nominated by Boeing and McDonnell Douglas and the rest.
	That's who she is, and now she's getting exposed as it.
	And a lot of people in Iowa and other places didn't know it, didn't realize that these people are frauds, fakes, phonies.
	Thuny's a fake and a phony.
	Two-thirds of the Republicans in the Senate are a waste of time.
	And the only question is, can you get them to at least try to honor their voters' intentions at least some of the time, rather than endanger the rest of us on a constant basis?
	But it looks like Hex is back in the driver's seat and is in excellent position.
	And in the same vein, Trump made clear this week, the other person they went after related to Syria is Tulsi Gabbard.
	And Trump's made clear he's going to the mattresses.
	For both Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. and Tulsa Gabbard.
	And so they can take what chances they want, but he's going, people better rethink their options in that regard.
	And to me, these Republicans approved every single Biden nominee.
	Didn't make a fight over hardly any of the Biden nominees.
	So you can't, after you side with some of these Biden nominees, men dressed up as women in the military and so on and so forth, then you really are not in a position to second guess any aspect of Trump's nominations.
	So we'll see how it progresses.
	But the ordinary Republican will continue to be exposed to how most of the Republicans in the House and the Senate couldn't give a rat's rear end about the ordinary voter in their party.
	Primary means that instead of them running unchallenged, another Republican would challenge them in the primaries, potentially unseat them in the primaries to then run in the generals against a Democrat opponent?
	Correct. And in Iowa, a Republican would win.
	So, I mean, I think Jody, I think Ernst is done.
	But she'll cash in in two years.
	She'll get a big fat contract from Boeing.
	She'll get a big fat contract from McConnell-Douglas.
	She'll get a big contract from all the defense contractors.
	She'll make millions and millions of dollars.
	The same way that Nikki Haley is.
	The same way that Tim Scott knows he will someday.
	The same way Lindsey Graham knows he will someday.
	The way Mitch McConnell and his family are already is fabulously rich.
	So it's a part of the systemic problem we have in Washington that Trump just...
	Continues to expose, sometimes by accident, as much as by intent.
	And it's amazing.
	I can see my face temporarily lit up white when I go to flash it on the screen, so everybody knows.
	But now I finally found the question I was looking for.
	It was over on Commitube where MRA M63 says, Viva, are you going to discuss Tom Tillis saying he will vote no on Trump picks if they don't want to continue sending money to Ukraine?
	He has disputed what he said, but he's also DOA.
	So Tillis has always been a war whore and a political hack out of North Carolina, just like Burr was.
	That North Carolina was represented by Republicans who didn't represent the interests of the people of North Carolina.
	Strong anti-war tradition, especially in the mountain base of western North Carolina.
	And yet these people were being betrayed by the people being elected to the Senate, often on the following Trump's elections, to get into office themselves.
	That was the case for both Burr and Tillis.
	Both of them at various points have apparently made money on insider deals connected to the defense industry and their stock in Congress.
	That's who Tillis is.
	He's always been a war whore and a corrupt hack.
	I mean, like I said, most of the Republicans in the House and the Senate are corrupt hacks.
	So it's Trump trying to get them to not be so corrupt every single day that he can't get his job done.
	That's what the next two years is about.
	And trying to get people in administrative positions.
	That can start to try to clean up at some level.
	But it's just the beginning of the effort.
	The biggest hurl is members of House and the Senate who call themselves Republicans.
	They are the biggest traitors of the bunch.
	They're worse than most of the Democrats up there.
	Democrats at least say who they are.
	These Republicans lie about it.
	All right.
	So they're feeling out right now to see how many of the Republicans would vote no against a pick.
	We're putting it to a vote.
	What's the process for like that?
	Do they have their hearings before the committee, then the committee votes, and then they have a floor vote.
	And what they like to do is to try to create as much pressure as possible to where the person voluntarily withdraws like Gates did, and so that they don't have to be embarrassed by voting against them.
	So Trump is making it increasingly clear that that's not going to happen for many people.
	So that he's not going to let them say, I'm going to step down.
	That only happens sporadically.
	It won't happen with some of the people they want it to have happen with.
	He's clear about the defense secretary position.
	It's not changing.
	Kennedy's position is not changing.
	And Gabbard's position is not changing.
	And Radcliffe is not changing.
	Those four are not budging.
	And they're going to have to either go along or risk a direct confrontation.
	And then it's how long do they want to be there?
	I mean, McConnell's going to be gone in two years.
	Everybody knows that.
	How many of the others want to be gone in two years?
	Or four years.
	So if there's anybody up there that wants to be there four years from now, six years from now, eight years from now, then they better play ball with Trump.
	Anybody that doesn't may not be there two years from now, four years from now.
	They'll just be gone in their political career over.
	But if they do confirmation hearings for each and every one of them, a day, a week, and do they schedule it right away?
	Yeah, they can set the hearings as long as they choose, for the most part.
	And you can have parallel hearings going on.
	Okay. Okay, let's see here.
	Bill Dozer over on Rumble says, Oye, a little of faith.
	And then the clear site says, made a song about Anton's meat in all your mouths.
	It's at switzerlandplayit.com meat song.
	Guys, if you want to check out the link, it's over on Rumble.
	Okay. All right, so that's interesting.
	Is there anything else on the appointments, the nominees?
	How many positions does he have to fill?
	Oh, there's tons of positions.
	So far, so good.
	Really, there's only been a couple of positions they've pushed back on, and there'll be a couple more that they continue to, but it looks like Trump still has the upper hand to get through the key people he wants to have through.
	But there's a lot of people on that list to just get the ball started in terms of the cabinet.
	All right, well, I guess this is a good segue talking about getting the ball started.
	We can go to Hawk Tua now.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	For those who don't know, like, I just take for granted everybody knows who the Hawk Tua woman is.
	She's that, I want to say Alabama or Mississippi.
	She's from Tennessee, actually.
	Tennessee, okay.
	Well, she was the southern girl who was talking about sexual proclivities when someone asked her, you know, what's the easiest way to get over a boyfriend?
	And then she said to get under another one.
	And then what's their favorite thing to do in the bedroom?
	And she goes, you've got to spit on that hot tour.
	And then she literally went viral.
	She launched a career that I would say, like, you know, women of the night could only aspire to launch doing the hot tour.
	She got the podcast.
	It was called Talk Tour.
	I'm making a joke.
	They've got to make a horror movie that's going to be called Talk Tua.
	Is that Australian horror pic?
	Okay, whatever.
	So she started a podcast, apparently from this meme thread from Coffeezilla, which I have somewhere in the backdrop, but I don't know that we need to bring it up.
	She was getting paid speaking fees.
	She was milking it, and God bless her for doing it.
	No judgment, straight up.
	Not sure I want to be famous or rich for that, but to each their own.
	And then she launched a, not a meme coin?
	Is it called a meme coin?
	Yeah, yeah, it was a meme coin, I think, yeah.
	Not an NFT, a meme coin.
	And the meme coin went from $500 to $25 in a matter of minutes.
	I didn't watch if it was minutes or hours, but in no time at all, once this meme coin was launched, it crashed and burnt where people lost 90% of their investment in a meme coin, although some people say if you invest any money in Hak Tua's meme coin, you deserve to lose it.
	But then, you know, they're talking about a thing called tokenomics, and I reached out to Coffees, if anybody knows him, I mean, he's dialed back the critique on the Hawk to a Chick, because I'm not sure that she knows anything about what went down, pun intended.
	He's dialed it back a bit and said, like, she didn't make $50 million, she didn't make $5 million, she got $125,000 upfront payment, and she couldn't sell her tokens for a year, from what I understand.
	I'll see if I can find that.
	But people on her team clearly sold.
	They said that the team owned like 90 plus percent or a substantial portion and sold virtually all of it within minutes of it going public.
	And they cashed out and they made off and rugged, I guess, the people who were holding that steaming bag.
	Which can happen a lot.
	And what's interesting is there are many rumors and stories so far that it's tied to Jake Paul again.
	So that, you know, Paul keeps showing up in these...
	Allegations of fraud scandals, of promoting bogus products, particularly in the crypto world.
	She seems like a face of an operation.
	She does not seem like she had any idea what was going on.
	It was just, hey, this is a new way to make money off of all this.
	My minute of fame and try to be successful.
	No evidence she had any idea whatsoever what was going on.
	but took a lot of heat.
	But the tie to me that was interesting was the Jake Paul connection.
	Now, you know, Coffeezilla is always interesting because he kind of comes across as a prick.
	I don't know, but at times like...
	There'll be an interesting, insightful pieces.
	But then I heard him do like a rant on Alex Jones and I'm like, coffee.
	Zilla doesn't know what the hell he's talking about for five seconds.
	So I'd like to have him on here.
	Cause I think he does a lot of really interesting stuff.
	That's good.
	And he sometimes does crap where he needs to be smacked around for being dead wrong on.
	So the, Because he kind of jumped on this initially and kind of started all this as if it was all her fault.
	Then he sort of, to his credit, pulled back and said, well, it's not clear what she really knew and didn't know.
	But as much as, you know, I think he does a great show.
	He does an effective presentation, etc.
	But there have been times when he just jumps to conclusions and uses his mind of, you know, I'm exposing the fraudsters.
	What he thought about Alex Jones was so dead wrong.
	It was like, okay, that tells me you don't do your research maybe at all, CoffeeZilla?
	So I want to see better work from CoffeeZilla.
	It's funny you bring it up because I've been following it from Sunday, from whatever, when it happened, Friday or Thursday or Friday.
	And I said it sounded like he was dialing it back a bit on her because initially he's like, oh, you know, post a clip.
	She came on a Twitter space and said...
	Oh, now I've got to go to bed.
	And she hasn't posted since.
	And I'm like, the more I think about it, I'm like, no shit, she's not going to post.
	She's probably gone straight to the police and is now helping them with this investigation.
	Usually, if you get a good lawyer, you get a good lawyer to figure it all out before you get hung out to dry.
	How is it that Jake Paul keeps showing up on a lot of this stuff?
	Maybe he didn't make enough with that.
	Who's the one that fought Mike Tyson?
	Mike Tyson, right?
	It wasn't Logan.
	So, he says...
	Hold on.
	Bring it up here.
	Bring it up here.
	Lots to criticize.
	Going up here.
	Okay. Can you all stop with the insane headlines?
	She didn't rug for $500 million.
	She didn't profit $50 million for F's sake.
	The team pre-sold a few million to strategic investors who sold early.
	The token got sniped.
	I don't exactly know what that means.
	LP made...
	What is LP?
	A million on...
	Oh, the processing.
	Made 15% fees.
	And where did she say...
	She said she got like...
	She got 125,000 and she couldn't sell her coins for a year.
	And I'm like, that hardly sounds like someone in on the scheme.
	That sounds like someone who is sufficiently naive or maybe a little greedy.
	So this is just an opportunity.
	Another opportunity.
	A lot of people get caught up in the meme coin stuff because they don't understand it.
	And so it becomes susceptible to scam artists on all sides.
	And like I said, I get CoffeeZilla's point.
	It's... And so when I saw the reference, his take on Jones, I was like, I'm not going to trust anybody that has that bad of a take on Alex Jones.
	If you have that bad of a take on Alex Jones, I can't really trust anything you tell me about anybody in the future.
	So I would like another source, independent of CoffeeZilla, to figure out what's going on here.
	Yeah, here you go.
	Lots to criticize.
	The team made a few million, exact amount unknown.
	According to Hawk's lawyer, she's seen $125,000 and her tokens unlock in a year.
	That's a wild attenuation from...
	The Pauls.
	People are going to get sued and there's going to be criminal investigations over this.
	Maybe not.
	You never know.
	There's tons of these all over the world.
	Isn't this like the third or fourth one that Logan Pauls got caught up in?
	He had his eggs.
	It appears like even the podcast might be a Logan Paul partially sponsored event.
	So I get it.
	It's just like, okay, hold on a second.
	You see somebody get popular.
	You bring them in and suddenly they're making a meme coin that turns out to be a scam that sounds a lot like something you were involved in about a year ago and two years ago?
	Just saying, it's starting to look not so good for Paul.
	But I don't even understand how a meme coin is supposed to be anything other than a gag.
	Yeah, that's true.
	That's its own animal.
	It's people's incapacity to fully understand the nature of Bitcoin, which I understand.
	I mean, remember Trump thought it was fake for years until, you know, six months ago.
	I mean, he was like, ah, some sort of computer thing.
	That can't be real.
	So that's your ordinary person's perspective.
	It's like, it's a computer algorithm?
	Well, what is this?
	That's money?
	How's that money?
	It's something on a computer or something?
	So, you know, you can see how...
	But this young generation has made tons of money off of it.
	So that's how they get caught up in it no matter what.
	That maybe it becomes its own...
	It's a huge attraction to Ponzi schemers.
	Pump and dumpers, what they call pulling the rug and all that.
	It's natural for that because what happens is it becomes something where they preach the value is its own value.
	It's one of those, you start hearing that kind of rhetoric.
	And there's legitimate value to Bitcoin because it's independently established and it has a limit to it.
	And you'd have to crush the internet to take it away.
	That's the genius of Bitcoin, simplified.
	These other things, these meme coins.
	Don't share that same capacity.
	And so, consequently, they're only as valuable as somebody thinks it is.
	But what happens is you get a bunch of people who think, hey, can we convince a bunch of other suckers to think this has value?
	And that's where it's like, that doesn't fit Hawk to a girl's persona.
	It does start to fit the reputation of people tied to Jake Paul.
	That's what I'm saying.
	And I'm still trying to figure out how Dogecoin works versus Bitcoin versus...
	Because apparently, I didn't think that Hawk 2 was ever going to be used for actual transactions.
	Apparently Dogecoin is.
	Bitcoin obviously is not everywhere but more.
	Gold coins is just high risk.
	If you're dealing with anything other than Bitcoin, you're dealing with something that's risk.
	I get that Ethereum and other ones have done well and have their own potential value.
	But as a whole, I've only vouched for...
	I've always thought Bitcoin had potential for the reasons of understanding fundamentals of finance and storage and exchange and things of this nature.
	But I don't have confidence in anything else.
	And everything else always sounds like it's only as valuable as you think it is.
	You know what the best description of meme coins?
	Art. Meme coins are art.
	So it's pure eye of the boulder.
	So the meme coins are like, oh, look at this art piece.
	Oh, maybe it'll become super fashionable.
	Maybe everybody will want it.
	And maybe I better get it now because it's going to be worth double next year.
	That's what's happening in the meme coin world.
	Yeah, they say XRP is having a good week.
	Let's see.
	Okay, the dog just came in only to immediately want to go out.
	Hold on.
	All right, well, we'll see what happens.
	I would love to have the discussion with...
	With Coffeezilla, I would also love to have a discussion with Hawk Tua.
	Like I said, I think he is a sharp guy.
	He does a very sophisticated presentation.
	But my view has always been if you come across somebody that in an area you know they're completely wrong on, you've got to stop before you just immediately trust them in the future.
	It's just a general word of wisdom that I've always recommended.
	I mean, it's Michael Crichton's.
	What does he call it?
	He calls it the Geller Man Amnesia.
	That you know somebody got something dead wrong in an area you're actually an expert, and yet you turn around and trust them the next time they claim to be an expert in something that you're not an expert in.
	You shouldn't.
	And that's my issue with CoffeeZilla, is that the statements he's made about Alex Jones were utterly idiotic.
	I mean, showed complete lack of understanding.
	He had spent no time investigating, no time really watching.
	And then it's like, okay, how can I trust that he's investigated these other things that he claims to have done?
	How can I have confidence in that?
	If he gets stuff like that, so wrong.
	And I know you have a particular hard spot for people who get Alex Jones wrong, and rightly so.
	Now, I'm always for a good challenge here.
	Before I get down to Freddie, Bosified says Bitcoin is also a pump and dump, just longer term.
	80% of the Bitcoin is owned by 1% of the people.
	They are the ones who inflate and deflate the prices.
	Let's not fool anyone.
	But Freddie says, here's my bribe to convince you guys to ever mention Woke right.
	That is all.
	Who was the one that was taking flack for talking about...
	James Lindsay.
	James Lindsay for going woke right, right?
	No, I think he was criticizing woke right.
	But he gets off on sort of his own little side issues that I really could care less about.
	So, yeah, I think he's a very smart guy.
	But he'll get distracted by issues that I'll be like, why am I supposed to care about this?
	Oh, it was James Lindsay who, what did he do?
	He got some publication to...
	He got a conservative publication to print something that was a fake publication like he got left publications to do the same as before.
	Yeah, it says, well, this is from an article.
	Oh, whatever.
	Okay, it doesn't matter.
	We mentioned Wolk, right?
	There you go.
	Speaking of woke right...
	Oh, I don't really believe...
	I mean, what does that even mean, woke right, exactly?
	Well, I don't know.
	It's tough to even explain what woke means, but whether or not...
	I mean, there's the racial right, there's the Fuentes right, Nick Fuentes, Richard Spencer right, which said don't vote for Trump, if that's what they're referencing.
	But it sounds like they're referencing something else.
	And I've seen some references to it related to Lindsay and other people, and I was like, I don't even know what this means, and it seems like a waste of time.
	Well, now that you mention Fuentes and it wasn't on the menu, but you heard that he's been arrested for assault?
	No. Oh, well then we can't talk.
	We'll talk about it later.
	Go watch the video because Nick Fuentes has been charged with assault right now.
	Let me make sure that it's actually assault.
	Was it something in public or was it something personal?
	No, it was a woman who showed up at his front door who I guess he felt was harassing him.
	The video's on the internet.
	He just pepper sprays her.
	On his front steps, she drops the phone, and I don't know if she had been harassing him, if there was a history to it.
	Nick Fuentes arrested.
	Sorry, the Guardian says...
	Charged over Chicago pepper spray incident.
	Is he still living with his parents?
	Apparently he doxxed himself.
	You know what?
	I might have to get the video now.
	Let me go to Twitter and just get the video for two seconds.
	Didn't know this was going to be up here.
	Nick... Nick Fuentes.
	Let's make sure I get the right video because there's another video that I don't want to see.
	Nick Fuentes.
	Probably not a smart decision for him to be living in the Chicago area, to be frank about it.
	Here we go.
	Got it right here.
	Okay. Look at this.
	You'll tell me what you think.
	I think it's unjustified.
	And people are saying, well, she showed up to his front door.
	I don't know if he knew who she was before he got there.
	So if he knew more and he knew this one was a danger.
	Here's the video.
	Hi. Oh, my God.
	What are you doing?
	Get the fuck out of here.
	Houses look exactly like houses in Westmount.
	Takes the phone.
	That's the video.
	And so apparently charged, I think it's assault.
	But I don't know if he knew the woman and she's stalking him and he identified her as a danger.
	But that's the video.
	And then I think this is the...
	Yeah, he's kind of screwed, it looks like.
	That's going to be a tough self-defense argument.
	I don't know why she was recording it.
	He still lives in the Chicago area.
	That's politically not the smart place for him, someone with his politics to be.
	Hans Spank, or what is it?
	Hans1PK says, it's unjustified.
	Your front door has a bell for a reason.
	I mean, don't answer the freaking door if you don't want to talk to the person.
	Anyway, so he's in trouble.
	Make sure you don't get a separate video of that.
	It might come up in Nick Fuentes' video.
	But speaking of Destiny's sex video, I'm joking.
	We're not talking about that.
	You haven't heard about that either, Robert A. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be unplugged.
	Okay, let's go to Sotomayor on the trans debate.
	It's the Tennessee law banning transgender care.
	And I don't call it care.
	I call it...
	Child genital mutilation is what it is.
	We're talking about medications, puberty blockers, if not more extreme stuff for trans kids.
	I mean, it's insanity.
	But the audio clip, actually, I should probably play the audio clip, is Sotomayor, who I think is one of the...
	I don't know who I would say is my favorite.
	Supreme Court justice other than Clarence Thomas, but that's only because I've paid attention to some of his recent decisions.
	I can't think of anyone...
	She's actually dumber and says stupider things than Ketanjay Brown Jackson.
	Oh yeah, by a long mile.
	Sotomayor has always been both the most arrogant dumb justice on the Supreme Court for quite some time.
	So this is what she had to say about...
	Let me make sure I'm opening this up here.
	Let's go here.
	Let's listen to this.
	I mean, anyone who watched the clip I put on yesterday, today has seen this.
	Cannot eliminate the risk of detransitioners.
	So it becomes a pure exercise of weighing benefits versus risk.
	And the question of how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits is one that is best left.
	I'm sorry, counselor.
	Every medical treatment has a risk.
	Even taking aspirin.
	There is always going to be a percentage of the population under any medical treatment that's going to suffer a harm.
	So the question in my mind is not, do policymakers decide whether one person's life is more valuable than the millions of others who get relief from this treatment?
	The question is, can you stop one sex from the other?
	Can you stop one sex from the other?
	Robert, the panel on Friday, Nate on Civil, they raised a good argument that says, look, if it's a policy decision, then the state has even more power to make policy decisions as relates to medicines, treatments that are available.
	Yeah, I mean, I think that there is a place she's going that has, I think, legal merit, which is when does the state get to determine the medical care of a child?
	Over the objection of a parent.
	That's a play.
	Now, the problem is, she believes the state has the right to override a parent anytime they want.
	This is the problem the left has, is that they don't believe in the parental right of child care.
	So how do they turn around and tell a state, well, okay, the state of Tennessee has decided we're not going to allow this kind of care because we don't think it's care.
	We think it's harm.
	And how do they, from a premise of the state gets to dictate to parents quick hair, argue with that?
	They can't, really.
	So, I mean, the problem is that they don't like where Tennessee has chosen to exercise its power, but these liberal judges fundamentally believe in the state's prerogative to exercise that power.
	So that's the problem that...
	So she has to pretend this fits into some other category, that it's like the state regulating aspirin, and that it's no different between...
	Giving you treatment that will change your body forever and even prevent you from having children is the same as whether you take an aspirin after you hurt your knee and fall down on playing basketball.
	I mean, it's an asinine comparison.
	It's why most people are like, okay, these two comparisons are not the same.
	They're both medicine.
	That's true.
	But one of them ain't going to kill you or destroy your life.
	The other one will.
	That's the difference.
	And we've always said the state has the power for that.
	Now, I'm one that is skeptical of the state's ability to have power for this.
	But the left can't question the state's power because it believes in the state's power.
	Now, Gorsuch didn't say anything.
	Gorsuch is the justice to watch on this case.
	But the most effective oral argument came from Alito and Thomas, who asked...
	Thomas used to never ask questions.
	And over the last...
	Eight years, ever since Trump got elected, he asks questions now, which is fun to watch.
	But what both he and Alito hammer down is, okay, is this an immutable trade or not?
	Because if you're arguing the 14th Amendment, and this is the argument they're saying, they're saying the state of Tennessee constitutionally is prohibited from limiting the amount of child mutilation that takes place, as long as it takes place in the name of a medical setting.
	That's the liberal position in this case.
	That as long as it's doctors saying it, doctors declaring it, then there's no rule for the state to restrict it.
	Which is deeply problematic for the left because they think the state has the right to do anything they want, pretty much.
	As they did during COVID.
	That's the problem Sotomayor has.
	It's the problem Kagan has.
	That's the problem Jackson has.
	And they're trying to argue points from...
	From points that contradict their four core principles.
	Now, what Thomas and Alito got the other side to admit was, don't you believe that gender is fluid?
	They're like, absolutely.
	Doesn't that mean it's not immutable?
	And isn't the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment all about immutable traits?
	Historically, it is.
	So if you have to have an immutable trait to be protected under the 14th Amendment, They effectively conceded to Alito and Thomas that they have no 14th Amendment claim.
	So I think Gorsuch is going to go with Alito and Thomas and affirm Tennessee state law, which will mean every state now has the power to limit this experimentation that's been going on.
	And by the way, just this week in San Francisco, another major lawsuit filed by someone who said they got tricked into doing the gendered transitioning and now have suffered lifetime severe consequences.
	These lawsuits are coming and they're coming everywhere.
	And it's because the left just got out of hand.
	But I think the Supreme Court will ultimately affirm Tennessee's decision because of what Alito and Thomas were able to affirm and because Sotomayor can't come up with an intellectually consistent position as to how the state should not have the power to limit this kind of child mutilation care, but the state could have the power any other time they want to do anything else they want.
	That's where she can't come up with an intellectually sustainable position.
	No, I made the observation that the comparison is asinine for yet another reason because the side effect of aspirin is different than its intended functioning.
	The side effects that she's comparing to with these puberty blockers are the intended purpose.
	So it's not a side effect, it's the effect.
	But also, just to refresh everybody's memory, Sotomayor, an idiot.
	Justice Sotomayor falsely claims 100,000 children in serious condition from COVID.
	Just a minor issue.
	I forget what the case was.
	Well, she reads all the MSNBC stuff.
	And she cries half the time at a bunch of stuff.
	She's abandoned a lot of her core liberal positions that were pro-civil rights or civil liberties in the past.
	She's still got a few left, but many of them are gone.
	She's become a pure statist.
	But what this issue exposes is you can't be a pure statist.
	And say the state doesn't have the right to prohibit child mutilation.
	You can't really do that.
	And so that's why the left is caught in this conundrum where they're just going to have to invent, manufacture, and interpretation of the law that has no bearing and no roots in it.
	And that's why I think Gorsuch will ultimately go along.
	You know, Gorsuch is sympathetic to people who suffer trans and other issues.
	And he has a libertarian streak in that regard.
	There's just no intellectually consistent position that the left is embracing, that he can embrace.
	And so I think he'll go along with the three centrists, you know, Roberts, Barrett, and Kavanaugh, and join Alito, Thomas, and create a 6-3, I think, probably majority, is my guess.
	Now, one of the grandstanders, Kavanaugh, Roberts, or Barrett, might break off and, you know, do a concurrence or something else just to show everybody how...
	Morally superior they are to the average conservative.
	But other than that, I think you're going to see the Tennessee law upheld.
	I have difficulty disagreeing with Texas Tanya.
	We've been infiltrated by Satan worshipping anti- I think I meant to say anti-Christ.
	War of good versus evil.
	It's amazing.
	Puberty blockers.
	It's just a temporary pause on puberty.
	These doctors deserve to get sued.
	The parents, unfortunately, deserve to get sued.
	They'll go ahead and sue each other.
	It'll be a circle.
	A circled firing squad of lawsuits.
	People deserve to get sued.
	And hopefully the idiot Sotomayor still comes to the right decision, but she won't.
	Sorry, Robert, I mentioned Coy Griffin earlier, but then we didn't actually get...
	Did we get into the...
	No, we didn't.
	Okay, so let's...
	It was fascinating because Coy Griffin, for everybody who doesn't know, he was a New Mexico commissioner, elected to the position, in good standing, is one of...
	I mean, the only place in America, the only commissioners in America who refused to certify the vote in 2020, following what they believed, based on the statements from Trump, was a less than constitutionally legitimate election.
	Coy Griffin and the two other commissioners refused to certify, went through a whole lot of hell.
	Two of the three ended up certifying and Coy didn't.
	But Coy ended up becoming something of a political target.
	Ended up at January 6th on the Capitol.
	He's a pastor as well, that'll explain.
	He was on the Capitol to participate in protesting what he believed was an illegitimate, constitutionally unlawful election.
	Breaches the restricted area, unbeknownst to him.
	No violence, takes a bullhorn, says a prayer, and leaves.
	Goes back to D.C. a week and a half later, gets arrested.
	Two misdemeanor charges, picketing and parading, I think, in a restricted area.
	And there was another charge that was ultimately either dismissed or he didn't get convicted on.
	He gets convicted on the breaching a restricted area.
	And then back in New Mexico, at the state level, gets disqualified and removed from his position of commissioner after an unsuccessful recall campaign.
	Gets removed.
	By the state court for the insurrection clause, Article 14, Paragraph 3. I don't know the procedural posture as to how it got...
	The decision to remove got affirmed by the New Mexico Supreme Court, and then the Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear it.
	I don't know why, but it didn't get hit.
	It did not get heard, but it didn't get heard before Trump's case got heard.
	So Trump's Colorado ruling 9-0 by the Supreme Court came after Coy Griffin...
	Supreme Court refused to hear him, but he's still been disqualified under the 14th Amendment, the third paragraph of the Constitution, for having participated in insurrection.
	So that's where I interviewed him Friday.
	It was an amazing interview.
	Check it out.
	How does that possibly stand as precedent at a state level now?
	It's solely because, I mean, the Supreme Court skipped any state issue because they said that in Trump's case it was because of the presidential election that they weren't going to decide.
	How the 14th Amendment applies to a state officeholder, they would let the states determine that on their own accord.
	And that allowed states like New Mexico to issue rulings that were absurd.
	And the only way you're going to get courts to stop doing this in the future is if you're in a conservative jurisdiction, you have to remove liberals from the ballot and office.
	And no conservative court will ever do that.
	And so consequently, liberals will know they can unilaterally disqualify conservatives in liberal states without ever facing any consequence from either a federal court or from another conservative state disqualifying liberals in those states.
	It was always an asinine and absurd interpretation of the law, but it just shows how utterly useless so many courts are.
	The Colorado Supreme Court ended up useless.
	The New Mexico Supreme Court ended up useless.
	Arizona Supreme Court ended up useless.
	Nevada Supreme Court ended up useless.
	Making ridiculous decision after ridiculous decision.
	And so its only question is, long term, how do you build a government and society where the judicial branch keeps failing to meet its basic elemental obligations?
	I mean, at some point, you have to start taking power away from the judicial branch.
	That long term, that has to be the solution.
	That the experiment of a judicial branch of these philosopher kings that our founders believed might be possible as a balance and check has not worked.
	It's never worked, to be frank about it.
	It only works when the legislative or executive branch slaps the judicial branch around.
	So when the judicial branch comes in, decides to weaponize their political power, to lock up their political opponents, like they did, like Samuel Chase was doing as the Supreme Court justice, right after the founding of our country, what stopped it?
	It wasn't the honest courage of any judge.
	It was them trying to impeach Chase and threatening him with imprisonment afterwards.
	And all the other judges are like, oh, hold on a second.
	Oh, wait, wait.
	When were that serious about what we were doing?
	Unless and until you do that, you're going to keep getting this crap.
	It's a terrible story because, I mean, the guy's, you know, he's a religious man and it's, I don't know how it helps.
	He's never been convicted of an insurrection.
	It has nothing to do with the insurrection clause.
	It's completely foreign to the origin of the clause.
	It's ridiculous.
	It's ridiculous.
	It's a ridiculous ruling.
	By a politically oriented court that doesn't care about the rule of law and that is proven until judges start facing individual consequences or we start removing power from the judiciary, they're going to continue to abuse their...
	Look at what happened to Romania, right?
	I mean, Romania's learned the lesson from American lawfare that a right-leaning, populist-leaning leader wins the first round and is going to clearly win the second round.
	So what does the Romania Supreme Court come in to do?
	At the request of the US and the EU, it says, oh, we hereby declare this election invalid.
	It was invalid.
	You have to start all over again.
	I mean, I know they wanted to do that this time around.
	They were just terrified of what would happen.
	That was the only thing that prohibited them from declaring the same thing here.
	And so it's just a problem.
	And we need to either remove power from judges, judges that behave corruptly need to face individual consequence, or we just reconsider.
	How much power we give a judicial branch when it's led to more disaster than it's led to anything good or positive?
	I'm giving everyone the link to Kui's Give, Send, Go one more time here.
	Check it out.
	Okay. But it's amazing.
	He's stuck with that precedent, and I don't see how he gets it overturned.
	Because if the SCOTUS said no, I don't know how that...
	Can you ask him to reconsider, given the ruling in the presidential issue?
	It'd be difficult, but you'd have to run for another office and challenge.
	The New Mexico Supreme Court's decision.
	Oh, I see.
	Okay. That's actually a good way to make it happen.
	Okay. Excellent.
	What do we...
	I guess...
	I saw a headline that said they were going to, like, what?
	Take away everybody's guns again in Canada?
	Oh, not just take them away, Robert.
	Take them away and give them to Ukraine.
	It's... It's beyond words.
	Back in...
	So, update in Canada, people.
	I'm not the expert on firearms, as everybody knows from my interview with Ian Runkle, Runkle of the Bailey, about the CEO assassination.
	Ian Runkle, a Canadian, firearms.
	I consider him to be a specialist, and I didn't hear anyone contradict his assessment of what gun was or was not used in the killing of Brian Thompson.
	Back in 2020, all of you know this, Trudeau, by way of order in council, which is sort of like the...
	Oh, geez.
	The Minister of Justice issues a recommendation.
	Basically, the government issues a directive and it becomes law without it having to go through any sort of speech and debate because the legislation has built into it that further decrees can be issued by order and counsel.
	So the legislation says you can further restrict the rights, but you don't have to go through any public speech and debate, any process, by way of order and counsel.
	2020, after the shooting in Nova Scotia, which many people believe was...
	Had some fingerprints of Fed involvement or knowledge.
	Trudeau comes out and bans like 1,500 firearms.
	He accidentally, inadvertently included some airsoft guns, which I think once that became known, he removed those.
	And they've upgraded that list now because they have to extend it to assault-style firearms, not understanding what that is.
	They're just adding more and more guns.
	And there's a video, a terrible video.
	Of a shooting in Winnipeg, I want to say, up in Canada.
	It's just more and more gun restrictions, and yet gun violence goes up and up and up because the criminals have the guns and don't give a sweet bugger all.
	Okay, they announced that they're adding more guns to the list, and the minister of, I think it's the minister of justice now, says they're giving them to Ukraine.
	Or they're going to explore the possibility of giving these confiscated guns to Ukraine to help them fight for independence.
	I mean, I made a video about it last week.
	I'm going to see if I can get the Minister of Justice guy.
	It's communism.
	Like, straight up disarming the population, empowering the criminals.
	Trudeau, at the same time, is talking about restricting use of private property for Airbnb and Verbose.
	I don't know what that is, but private rentals.
	Vacation rentals by owners.
	Okay, I never heard of that one, but I'm not into that.
	It actually predated Airbnb.
	Oh, that's very cool.
	Yeah, they're talking about restricting it so they can unlock homes for the housing crisis in Canada.
	A housing crisis created by Trudeau's terrible immigration policy.
	Basically, open borders is 5 million foreigners in Canada whose visas expire within the next three years that are not going to go home so willingly.
	And so, bottom line, straight-up communism to support the absolute non-democracy of Ukraine, which has now indefinitely suspended elections because of the martial law that was declared as a result of Russia's invasion, despite the fact that nightclub...
	I said something good in one of my videos, Robert.
	If you can party at a nightclub at night, you can vote for the president during the day.
	Period. That's what's going on in Canada, people.
	So visit at your own risks and peril if you so choose.
	Isn't there an election upcoming?
	It's going to be in 2025.
	They haven't called the specific date yet, but legislatively it has to be done by, I want to say September 2025 because it's every four years.
	And the coalition government's been held together by Jagmeet Singh and the New Democrat Party because they're all just clinging on to power so they can get their pensions, which...
	Jagmeet gets his in early 2025.
	So it's absolute madness in Canada.
	Not clear it'll be any better under the Conservatives, but it's communism.
	Full stop, pure and simple.
	And it's one communist regime with great admiration for the Chinese Communist Party supplying arms with confiscated, or at least talking about it, but they supplied arms with confiscated tax dollars to Ukraine.
	Speaking of, you mentioned you had a conversation with him about the CEO assassination.
	What was your takeaway so far from that?
	The consensus is that the individual is not a trained assassin, but someone who might be LARPing as one, but is proficient in firearms, but not an expert or maybe hadn't done this before because the consensus is it was a small arm using subsonic rounds, but that may or may not be entirely accurate, with a suppressor.
	That caused a cycling problem in the firearm.
	And so the individual knew how to clear the cycling problem, didn't panic, was calm, cool, and collected.
	But that was clearly not a professional who had tried this with...
	That was awfully cool for someone that's never done it before.
	Well, that's why I, you know...
	That dude was like chills.
	It was like boom, boom, boom.
	It was like, you know, the scene from Sicario where Benedito del Toro says...
	Adios! It does like that.
	With the gun, it's actually...
	Well, I shouldn't compare it to a real murder.
	But that's what it reminded me of.
	And I was like, that's almost like sophisticated.
	In other words, maybe this is someone that's only been dreaming about it for a period of time.
	But usually you don't see that level of like...
	But other people would have a better understanding of this than me.
	But at least from my take from studying it over the years, in these assassinations, you don't see someone that chill.
	That dude walks right up, boom.
	Pops to the, okay, clear up, boom.
	Boom, boom.
	Then just walks right down, hops on the bike, and boom.
	And it's not the problem.
	And I'm wondering if he's out of the country.
	And I'm just wondering if there's a foreign country connection.
	First of all, we can all agree there's not a snowball's chance in hell that the FBI doesn't know his name.
	I mean, they've got his face.
	There's no, like, facial recognition software.
	With all the other, with all the software they got going on these days.
	I mean, the first thing is they clearly wanted to say poor insurance companies.
	That this is insurance companies being targeted, that they were saying that there was words written on the shelves that correspond to the book.
	Delayed, denied, deposed.
	I didn't yet know what the connection was, but delayed, denied, deposed.
	It's what United and other insurance companies are accused of doing to people on a routine basis in denying care.
	It's the game that gets played by big insurance companies.
	But what's interesting was that that was kind of their takeaway, was almost like you're supposed to be...
	Sympathetic to...
	And then you had other sectors that seemed to be gung-ho on the internet.
	Oh, it's a big CEO from an insurance company.
	Good riddance.
	You saw some scary mindset.
	You don't normally see anybody celebrate an assassination.
	I like that, but you saw parts of it on the internet.
	I get I'm not a United fan and all the rest, but that was a cold-blooded assassination.
	I would put one caveat.
	This guy is connected.
	This United CEO, I know him from the past for a client that I negotiated with him on behalf of.
	But according to published reports, he's under criminal investigation for all kinds of insider trading.
	And there's other people that might have a serious...
	Put it this way.
	Let's say you needed to assassinate him in order for him to prevent him from testifying against you.
	How would you cover it?
	You would cover it by getting someone to do it.
	That looks like they're a hardcore anti-insurance person that tells a whole different story.
	So nobody ever asks, could it be the people that would have been implicated had he decided to talk?
	I wouldn't rule that out either.
	But it's right.
	I mean, New York is kind of brazen.
	You've got some of the top police people in the world.
	But the fact he got in there and out of there without a problem.
	And there's other people that have looked at the murder scene.
	I don't know what Ian might have thought.
	I saw some other people suggest that the manner of the execution suggested there was a lookout.
	So it suggested there was more than one person that was part of the assassination.
	We didn't get to that, and I hadn't heard that either.
	I mean, this looked like it was the guy had been out there staking it out and knew where the guy was going and knew his schedule.
	But when I watched it, I did not...
	Hired professional or not, I didn't feel like it was the first time this guy had killed somebody.
	I don't know how you...
	You're not that stone cold unless you're on some serious, serious drugs.
	Then you're not that coordinated either.
	And that guy was just chill, chill.
	I mean, you're out in a public setting.
	He's like, I'm going to go up right in this guy, public setting.
	And kill him.
	And the gun pop up, and the shell pop, and I know the shell's popping, and I go up and make sure the second one, third one.
	Totally cool.
	I don't look at anyone else.
	Then just walk down and get on the bike and go.
	That's a hardcore assassin.
	So, that's that person's first assassination.
	Okay. But it makes you wonder whether we'll ever find the real one.
	Right? We got kind of photos, kind of images, kind of this.
	Right? Kind of makes you wonder.
	By the way, I found...
	Robert, listen to this.
	This is the minister of...
	I want to say minister of...
	One of the ministers.
	Today? The government is adding a further 300.
	Can you imagine?
	He looks like the evil guy out of V for Vendetta.
	I mean, he could not look more like a villain if he tried.
	I'll shut my door.
	Let me just make sure the volume is on.
	Listen to this.
	And 24 unique makes and models of assault-style firearms to the list of prohibited firearms in Canada.
	this prohibition takes effect immediately.
	means these firearms can no longer be legally used, sold or imported in Canada and can only be transferred or transported under extremely limited circumstances.
	Wait for the flash of light.
	As part of that process, the government of Canada has committed to the Ukrainian government to identify whether some of these guns could be donated to support the fight for democracy Don't you love this?
	These guns are so important to democracy that we can't let you have them.
	We can only let Ukraine have them.
	You don't need them.
	They need them for democracy.
	These guns are critical for democracy.
	Just not critical for you.
	Leave your fobs at the front door so the armed criminals take your car.
	That's all that they want.
	They got real guns.
	They're not toy guns.
	That was a police officer in York, Ontario actually said that.
	We got one more, I think, on the menu here.
	Where's my list here?
	Well, we got the COVID report and then the Florida...
	I highlighted this, but I didn't actually get the chance to research it further.
	The Florida drone shooter.
	Oh, well, dude, Robert, I don't think it's rocket science.
	And I think Branca and I agree.
	I was just trying to play devil's...
	Not devil's advocate, trying to steel man both sides of this.
	Let's do the COVID, because I'm actually going to go find the video of the guy who shot it.
	The COVID report comes down, Robert.
	Nobody's taught...
	I feel like I'm not the only one, but there's only been a handful of voices putting it on blast, confirming...
	Everything. Everything except for the fact that they still assert that Operation Warp Speed was still, you know, very good.
	I know Jones talked about it.
	I know I'd put it on as much blast as humanly possible.
	The select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic, which is going on since February 2023, came to their findings.
	And I mean, literally.
	That it's not a conspiracy theory that it originated in Wuhan, China.
	That NIH was engaged in gain-of-function research.
	That Dr. Drazak should never again receive a dollar of taxpayer funding because he's part of this entire crime against humanity.
	That Fauci lied under oath.
	They didn't say it in quite so many details, but they said it was the result of gain-of-function, that they were engaging in gain-of-function research.
	Fauci denied it.
	He lied.
	What were some of the other ones?
	That the government was spewing propaganda.
	They should have been listening to frontline workers, not issuing decrees to ban medications.
	That Americans want to be educated, not indoctrinated.
	Everything. And it just disappears into the ether like nobody wants to talk about it.
	Forget feeling vindicated.
	What's your take on this?
	Why is the world not up in arms?
	And why are proverbial institutions not burning to the ground right now?
	Well, really only because the institutional media kept a lid on it to such a degree that many people still only partially process it.
	That the full nature of the conclusions that have been reached over the last year.
	There's still people who don't believe it had anything to do with gain-of-function research.
	I mean, because they haven't read the actual data, the underlying reports, or the information, or listened to the most relevant people.
	And I think that's what basically, but what it is, is everything we, I mean, the person who was most right was Jones.
	Because I talked to Jones very early on, early March of 2020.
	And he was the first person to tell me why he believed, based on people he had talked to, that this was a bioweapon that had gotten out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
	And he was super confident.
	And he explained, because he talked to Francis Boyle.
	One of the leading lawyers in bioweapons research in the world.
	But he'd also talk to others.
	And it was like everything points to this being a bioweapon that just got released.
	And the only question is, did they do it deliberately or not?
	Because that's really it.
	And he's been proven absolutely correct as to what took place.
	And I think in credit to some people who talked to, like some people who talked to Tucker and others.
	Like Amaryllis Fox, who was the campaign manager for Robert Kennedy's campaign.
	And she did an interview with Tucker Carlson.
	And she pointed out that a likely reason that they had not implicated China's bioweapons research is because our bioweapons research was involved.
	People forget, way back at the very beginning, you had Jones saying this was a leak.
	And you had China.
	China's own high-ranking government officials initially put out on Twitter that this came from the U.S., that this was part of the U.S. Defense Department program from North Carolina.
	And then China took it down about a day later.
	And since then, that's been kind of the detente.
	If you ask for reparations from China, China gets to turn around and ask for reparations from the United States.
	Because the source of this particular research...
	Was the United States.
	It was ordered, stopped by even the Obama administration of all people in 2014.
	And so Fauci conspired with Daszak and others to get it funded in China instead.
	And the goal was to keep it going.
	They're also funding it in Ukraine.
	There are secret bioweapons research labs all the way all across Ukraine.
	And so that's what Ukraine is in part is all about.
	And that's what the COVID was in part all about, was covering up our continued bioweapons research, which should never have happened.
	By definition, gain-of-function research violates bioweapons trees.
	And they just pretend it doesn't.
	For those that don't know, gain-of-function means you take a virus and you give it an additional, more dangerous capacity.
	Hence, additional function.
	You make it either more viral or more lethal.
	And they did it with both.
	With COVID.
	More vile in that it will potential jump from...
	They gain a function to make it go from animal to animal to animal to human.
	And to make it more infectious.
	Transmissible. Yeah, transmissible and more lethal.
	Which is hard to get.
	Because generally speaking, the more lethal a virus is, the less it will be able to spread.
	Because it kills off too many of its host.
	And it was trying to pull off both, and that's what it did.
	And the principal culprit was the U.S. through China and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
	But it starts with the U.S. And that's why the U.S. can't ever be honest about it.
	It comes back to Fauci.
	It comes back to our bioweapons research.
	We shouldn't be doing these bioweapons research.
	We shouldn't have gain of function.
	It should be illegal.
	It should be considered a violation of all the treaties that say you don't do this.
	The theory is this.
	We have to go and create this unique weapon.
	Because somebody else might be creating this unique weapon.
	And we're not creating this unique weapon to make it a weapon.
	We're creating it purely for defensive purposes.
	I mean, it's a patent lie.
	Everybody knows.
	Everybody's involved in this research is lying.
	Doesn't matter if it's the Russians, the Europeans, who it is.
	They're lying.
	Everybody knows there's nobody who's researching the exact same virus at the exact same time in the exact same way in order to try to circumvent your defenses against it.
	You're doing this in order to try to create a virus.
	That can be a weapon.
	That's what they were doing.
	And you have to ask yourself, the timing was mighty convenient to take out Trump.
	I mean, you have to ask, was it really an accident?
	And I think there's fair questions as to whether that was the case.
	When you go back and read some of the statements that Fauci made three or four years before about how it was inevitable that it was coming, Bill Gates talking about his inevitable that it was coming, his coronavirus 2019 conference.
	That was happening while coronavirus was being released in China.
	What an extraordinary coincidence that is.
	I mean, at some point, the coincidences are adding up in a direction that requires you to believe the incredulous to believe it wasn't a conspiracy.
	I want to bring this up because you mentioned this.
	We're researching it so that we know how to fight it, so we're creating it so that we know what our...
	Harvey Risch, you can go watch this, Camus.
	This goes to my sarcastic comment about disproportionality, that from a military perspective, if one is attacked by a bioweapons agent, then why would one have to respond with a bioweapons agent?
	One could respond with economic warfare, conventional.
	Weapons, chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, if it was that bad, that we have at our disposal a whole range of responses and to launch an untested bioweapon as a response where we might not even be able to protect ourselves from blowback from that agent.
	To me, it's insane.
	Okay, we can pause it right there.
	The rationale for doing gain-of-function research is, well, they're doing it, so we need to preemptively create a vaccine for their bioweapons, even though they're not going to be the same bioweapons.
	And so we've got to have a bioweapon to strike back at their bioweapon.
	And Harvey's 1,000% right.
	It's insanity.
	Why would you need to respond with an out-of-control bioweapon if your enemy is developing an out-of-control bioweapon?
	But it was just shocking.
	It confirms everything.
	It confirmed, I want to say it confirmed.
	Oh, that's right!
	While they went on to say, you know, Operation Morph 2 was a smashing success and saved millions of lives, whatever.
	Okay, fine.
	It's a Republican who's chairing the committee.
	They called the vaccine a therapeutic, Robert.
	They said it's the vaccine, which could probably more, I don't know if it's more accurately, which could be probably accurately, you know, referred to as a therapeutic.
	They called people anti-vax conspiracy theorists for saying that it was...
	A therapeutic back in the day.
	So it's shocking.
	It's amazing.
	And the fact that people don't care or some people don't care or choose not to care is even more shocking.
	Now, Robert, if this is the video, we're not going to play the whole thing either, but I see what happened.
	I'm going to be real blown with you and ask.
	Yeah. You did?
	Yeah. Okay.
	Why'd you shoot at it?
	I want to play from the beginning here.
	At some point today, did a drone fly over your house and you shoot at it?
	I'm going to be real blown with you and ask.
	Yeah. You did?
	Yeah. Okay, why'd you shoot at it?
	Because I thought it was somebody who turned around playing games in my house.
	I got you.
	Where did you see the drone at?
	Right above me.
	Can you walk out and just kind of show me?
	Can you walk out and just kind of show me?
	Sitting straight above it?
	Straight above me?
	Do you have any idea about it?
	Hovered? Hovered?
	Lower the rope.
	Some kind of cord down or something?
	Turn around, send something back up, and then after it was shot at, it turned around and went north.
	Gotcha. Okay.
	What'd you shoot at it with?
	Nine millimeter.
	Okay. All right.
	I'm in trouble on my end.
	Quite a bit.
	You've been honest with me, I'm going to be honest with you.
	Quite a bit, actually.
	Let's pause it there.
	At one point, the cop actually laughed and says, I can't believe you're answering these questions.
	There's no violation of rights because they didn't yet read them as Miranda rights?
	Right, correct.
	This is how cops like to do this.
	Hey, how you doing?
	What happened?
	And your honest, naive people go, da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
	Whereas your smart people realize, talk to my lawyer, come back when they're here.
	Let me see.
	I'm not going to be able to find the Pop Brothers at Law.
	Cops going to talk to you?
	Shut the...
	How you doing?
	Very good.
	Nice old school guy.
	It was like, what the heck is this drone doing trying to do something sneaky in my house?
	I'm going to defend my house.
	So, Bronco and I were not having a disagreement.
	I'm like, I'm on the fence.
	I'm inclined to say reckless discharge of a firearm.
	You can't just pop a shot off on the air.
	If a kid dies because that stray bullet lands somewhere, oh, I was just defending my property.
	Flip side, you know, the drone's coming down, lowering a rope.
	You have no idea what the hell it's doing.
	I can see both arguments.
	But that man should have shut his mouth and not said a damn word to the cops because he cannot undo.
	He cannot stuff the poo-poo back in that horse that just came out.
	Robert, Kenzie 67. Did they end up charging him or no?
	Oh yeah, they charged him.
	What did they charge him with?
	Reckless endangerment?
	I want to say reckless endangerment.
	Reckless discharge of a fireman.
	Oh, just reckless disregard.
	But he was doing it for his own self-defense.
	So they're denying, they're saying he didn't have a right of self-defense.
	Well, he'll raise his defenses, I guess, when he goes to court.
	He'll say defensive property, but they'll say...
	The legal question is, can you still have reckless discharge of a firearm in the lawful exercise of self-defense?
	It's not reckless if it's self-defense.
	Yeah, well, but...
	The one precludes the other.
	If it was reckless, it wasn't self-defense.
	If it was self-defense, it is not reckless.
	As a matter of law.
	Usually. That's going to be interesting.
	Those are my only thoughts.
	I think they have better things to do than to harass some old guy who didn't like it.
	Of all the things, I mean, you've got plenty of people to arrest if you're in the state of Florida.
	Is that guy really the priority?
	I don't know.
	Shooting a guy, I mean, it's world-class silliness.
	We'll all follow the story, and hell, maybe I'll go to the trial when it happens.
	Let me read these off before we head on over to Viva Barnes Law afterparty.
	Flea Lord Avatar, hell no Barry Sordo, who funded, built bioweapon labs in UA and tested the local people.
	Gets credit.
	He stopped funding in the U.S., and it was a method to move it overseas.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Kenzie. Please promote the problem with Bill C-293, the Pandemic Preparedness Act.
	Splitting C-63 Online Harms Act still inhibits free speech.
	Cheers. Screen grab that.
	I'll look at that.
	Andrew Matthews says, the Wellrod 32 looks like a shooting.
	Looks like the shooting.
	Check out Forgot Weapons.
	I'm relying on Ian.
	He says it's not a Wellrod.
	Karantoff says, you guys forget to thank Putin.
	Syria got rid of their chemical bioweapons under Obama.
	I don't...
	Did they?
	I don't think they...
	They said that they did.
	Texan Patrick says, I've always hated lawyers till I found Viva and Barnes.
	Now I like to get sticks and ham on here.
	Get sticks on here ASAP.
	We had him on a long time ago.
	Could do it again.
	We still have to have our circumcision debate because I know that he's very much not a fan of it.
	Oh, and then Freddie says, I'm an idiot.
	I didn't mean to ever.
	I meant never.
	It was a joke, but I'm sick of it on X. Kissin' called Tucker an example of woke right today.
	Anyhow, I think anybody calling anyone woke right on the right is woke right.
	That's what I'm going to say.
	Pull that double fakie on them.
	Let's get, there was a couple of, okay, there's a $50 tip in our community.
	We're going to get to all of them, but I want to read this.
	Would you retweet our neighbor's house burnt down Wednesday?
	All lost, humans safe, pets lost.
	The link is there.
	I'm reluctant to share it because I very much need to vet.
	Before I give the impression that I'm promoting them.
	It's a GoFundMe.
	I'm not sharing it because it's GoFundMe, but they should be using Give, Send, Go.
	But John Ron is J-O-H-N-R-H-O-N.
	Thank you for that.
	Love Our Sunday Nights says AH Orlando.
	Then we got Buffalo Betsy says, can y'all talk about the Vermont Supreme Court ruling court allowing schools to vaccinate kids against their parents' wishes?
	And they said PrEP Act protected the school decision.
	Robert, have you heard that?
	Oh, they mean Vermont?
	Yeah. They're vaccinating the kids and then saying the school is protected.
	That's how you get a parent to do something unlawful.
	It's really, yeah, it's just bad policy.
	And that's why we need people like Robert Kennedy at the Health and Human Services.
	Holy hell, someone vaccinates my kids without my...
	Vaccinate, I'm not even calling it...
	In D.C. they were doing it with McDonald's trucks.
	Hey, Ronald McDonald is here for you and take care of your kid and do a checkup on your kid.
	While you weren't looking, they were injecting their kids with COVID vaccines.
	That's how you elicit an unlawful, violent response from a parent.
	Okay, we're going to go over to locals.
	We did it all.
	We'll get into some other good stuff on locals.
	Was it a Walmart delivery?
	If he shot a Walmart delivery drone, he should be given an award.
	He should not be in prison.
	He should be given an award.
	There are no delivery drones.
	Delivery drones...
	My fat fingers are not working.
	I don't believe there are delivery drones in Florida.
	They don't have delivery drones.
	Let me see here.
	Walmart drone deliveries meet gun owners shooting.
	Shut the...
	July. No, but that's July.
	Oh, that's an older video.
	No, but they don't have...
	Delivery drones in Florida.
	It's Walmart.
	Yeah, they deserve to be shut down.
	Hold on.
	It's not possible.
	Does Florida have drone delivery Walmart?
	It's not possible.
	No Walmart is ending drone deliveries as of August 2024.
	Well, I guess they had it.
	Holy crap.
	What could possibly go wrong?
	Drone deliveries.
	I'm going to get myself a pet falcon with the little mesh thing and I'm going to take down those drones.
	That's it.
	Get your butts on over there.
	Everybody was scared.
	Wasn't that just an iguana everybody was scared of?
	It was just an iguana, Robert.
	Everybody screamed so loud, though.
	It was so dramatic.
	It was like you're watching a horror movie.
	You're waiting for something to come out and boom.
	Did you see the iguana?
	The iguana flipped.
	It was scary.
	It was terrifying of you guys.
	It was like, I gotta get out of here.
	I don't care.
	I'm not scared of it.
	My wife couldn't.
	Little guy's gonna put me in iguana soup.
	One day, I'm looking for a place to get iguana tacos.
	Robert, what do you have coming up this week?
	Hoping some judges get some continuances in some cases to finish the recovery, health recovery.
	But we'll see.
	You never know with some judges.
	They sometimes force you to show up places anyway.
	Otherwise, I think I'm going to try to do a what are the odds to finish off the year with Richard Barris tomorrow at 2 p.m.
	Eastern, if that works with his schedule.
	Otherwise, we'll have some bourbons back as I'm getting better as the week goes along.
	We've got some college football playoffs coming.
	For those that like American sports, the University of Tennessee football program is going to be in the playoffs against the great Ohio State University up in Columbus.
	That'll be a big game.
	That'll be fun.
	I'll be heading back home pretty soon to Tennessee if I can travel.
	I think I will be able to.
	So to get back together with family for Christmas.
	Fantastic. And for me, by the way, so tomorrow, Ian Carroll in studio at Locals.
	It's going to be amazing.
	Tuesday, I've got Hearts of Oak.
	Before I even misdescribe it, it's going to be COVID-related.
	It's an interview on Tuesday.
	Thursday, I might be in studio again at Locals with Mike Benz.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be great.
	I said, Mike.
	We need to have an entire episode.
	Does he live down there or does he just happen to be in town?
	I don't know if he lives there, but he's close enough to the studio that it looks like we're going to make it happen once I can confirm the studio.
	And we're going to do just an episode on Burisma because the Burisma and tangential rabbit holes is mind-blowing.
	That will be Thursday, Wednesday, probably Inusual Suspects.
	Podcast people will be up on podcast tomorrow.
	And let's go over to Viva Barnes Law.
	.locals.com.
	I'll give everyone the link.
	If you want to come, come.
	If you don't, I will see you all tomorrow on the flip side, dude.
	We're going to go do our chats and our locals thing.
	How do I do this?
	I'm going to go N now.
	And locals is the supporters only.
	See you on locals.
