| For those listening on podcasts, it says, Hello, this is Ross Ulrich. | |
| I'm calling you today from prison, a maximum security federal penitentiary. | |
| We don't have much time together today, and I don't know if I'll get another chance to talk to you like this. | |
| I'll say as much as I can, but when it's time to go, I'll have to hang up and go back to my cell. | |
| I have lost my freedom. | |
| That's what I want to talk to you about today. | |
| I want you to understand what it means to lose your freedom. | |
| We're going to put it paused there because I don't want to play more than what is fair and thus deter you all from going to listen to the entire work of art itself. | |
| For those of you who don't know who that is, that's AkiraTheDawn on Twitter. | |
| I'm going to share everybody the link. | |
| AkiraTheDawn Makes works of art. | |
| Takes texts, audios of famous people, not famous people, meaningful audios, mixes it together in a magnificent music format. | |
| Between him and Five Times August, those are my two favorite artists that I've met via the internet. | |
| I'm going to give you all the link and go check it out because for those of you who don't know the story of Ross Ulbricht, I think you do. | |
| Silk Road, sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for operating a libertarian-esque website that people use to do illegal things. | |
| You know, people use Twitter to do illegal things. | |
| People use Instagram to do illegal things. | |
| People use Blue Sky for what is colloquially referred to as CSAM. | |
| C-S-A-M. | |
| Child super inappropriate material. | |
| Akira the Dawn put together a song using some very insightful words from Ross Ulbricht while he was in jail, and that's the link. | |
| Check it out. | |
| I wanted to start with that because there's a tweet that came out yesterday from Ross Ulbricht, which I want to bring to everybody's attention, dovetails into everything we're going to talk about, which is Kash Patel being confirmed, Kash Patel going hard against the criminals behind the government, them knowing it, them freaking out, Dovetail into the criminals now seemingly deleting their Twitter accounts in Brazil. | |
| It's all one big web of scoundrels trying to hide from the light. | |
| Ross Ulbricht put out a tweet yesterday. | |
| Let me pull this one up here because it's a very meaningful tweet. | |
| Ross, who spent, what did he spend, 11 or 12 years in prison? | |
| I mean, there's no benefits to having 10 years of your life stolen. | |
| There's no benefits to surviving that type of trauma. | |
| I'm just saying for someone who did. | |
| He looks like he's dealing relatively well with it. | |
| Not many people come out 10 years of imprisonment later looking decent, looking like unbroken men, although I'm sure that he has a massive amount of healing to do. | |
| But I wanted to highlight this because when I had Roger Ver on, I don't know if it's a month ago now, he was talking about how, or briefly mentioned, I think, how Ross Ulbricht helped him. | |
| No, sorry. | |
| He mentioned... | |
| I don't think he mentioned it, actually. | |
| I think it was Robert Barnes who mentioned how Roger Ver helped Ross Ulbricht when he was struggling to maintain a defense, struggling to defend himself. | |
| Now that Ross Ulbricht has gotten a pardon and gotten his life back, one of the many people whose lives Donald Trump has saved, he tweeted out yesterday saying, Roger Ver was there for me when I was down and needed help. | |
| Now Roger needs our support. | |
| No one should spend the rest of their life in prison over taxes. | |
| Let him pay the tax, if any, and be done with it. | |
| Hashtag free Roger. | |
| And this is a picture from 2014 of the then 10 years younger Roger Ver holding a sign with a QR code saying, FreeRoss.org, take action. | |
| And fast forward a decade and a year, and you've got Ross Ulbricht holding a Free Roger sign. | |
| I'd been covering the Roger Ver story for a while. | |
| Robert Barnes brought it to my attention. | |
| We discussed it Sunday nights. | |
| And in response to that tweet, I basically said, it's inconceivable. | |
| That the government would go after 100 plus years in jail instead of just reassessing? | |
| Tax with penalties and interest? | |
| That's what they do when they claim that you owe them the money. | |
| He says it's $48 million. | |
| Not that I know what Roger Revere's wealth is. | |
| The internet gives you a decent idea. | |
| Something tells me he could pay whatever he's ordered to pay by way of back taxes with penalties and interest if a court in a civil IRS adjudication were to come to that conclusion. | |
| The fact that the... | |
| Biden administration chose not to go by way of civil remedy, chose not to tell Roger Ver what he allegedly owed by way of back taxes for his exit tax when he left the country. | |
| And there's a deemed disposition of assets of his Bitcoin at the time, which was worth quite obviously a fraction of what it's worth today. | |
| So Lord knows how they made their assessment of $48 million back taxes owed from the deemed disposition of assets. | |
| No, they went straight with a indictment seeking 109 years in jail. | |
| For unpaid, alleged unpaid taxes, because we don't know that it's definitive. | |
| They claim fraud. | |
| They claim that the man who had, you know, accountants, professionals doing his accounting, who declared what he owned or his companies when he left, that they're claiming that, you know, it's not about the money. | |
| It's about the concealment, the fraudulent concealment and the mail fraud, because he mailed his allegedly fraudulent underpaid taxes and his allegedly dishonest tax filings. | |
| He mailed it. | |
| So get him on that. | |
| Three charges on mail fraud because he mailed it once, mailed it twice, and then they finally got it. | |
| So Ross Ulbricht is out there raising awareness for Roger Veer, and we'll see if it gets to the ears that it needs to get to. | |
| Roger Veer was just pardoned by the Trump administration, so with any luck, the Trump administration is listening to Roger Veer and listening to what he has to say. | |
| Here you go first. | |
| Straight to jail. | |
| It's an amazing thing. | |
| And for those of you who don't know, Roger Veer is in Spain. | |
| Indicted. They're seeking his extradition. | |
| His appeal to the extradition was dismissed. | |
| He has been basically living in a constant state of terror because the police can come and extradite him or come and arrest him for extradition at any moment now. | |
| I think there was one last constitutional court potential avenue, and I don't know where there are with that, but he's sitting there every day just waiting for the cops to come, take him, whisk him away to the same jail where McAfee... | |
| Who was arrested on tax charges, allegedly took his own life. | |
| Allegedly. So that's that. | |
| That was the intro. | |
| Akira the Don, check him out. | |
| Ross Ulbricht, if you're not following him on Twitter, you want to follow a man who has some healing to do from the injustice that was perpetrated against him. | |
| And I don't care, everybody out there, you say he was doing it, he was allowing illegal activities to be carried out on his website. | |
| Horse crap. | |
| Oh, and then you say, oh yeah, he was also threatening to kill somebody who wanted to take out an... | |
| Horse crap also. | |
| Falsified evidence, FBI misconduct, and life in prison with no parole. | |
| I guess it's a blessing in disguise that the judge gave him that order because that penalty is ridiculous to the point where someone would have to get involved. | |
| Good afternoon, everybody! | |
| How goes the battle? | |
| Let me see what's going on here. | |
| I'm going to see that we're all very good. | |
| There's a lot of news going on here, and it's like, it's wild, and it's fun, and it's... | |
| What do we start with? | |
| For those of you who are new to the channel, Viva Fry, former Montreal litigator turned current floor to Rumble, we start live on Commitube, that being YouTube. | |
| Twitter, won't call it any... | |
| I like Twitter. | |
| Twitter's a good platform. | |
| But I love Rumble, and I love VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com. | |
| And in the news today, because we're going to touch on it, Pavlovsky, Chris Pavlovsky, a decade ago... | |
| Up in Canada, starting a video hosting platform. | |
| I don't think he ever thought he'd be involved in an all-out war with the government of Brazil, with the government of France, with the government of Russia. | |
| Not yet with the government of Canada. | |
| They're getting along. | |
| You know, it's good. | |
| But at war with foreign governments. | |
| And he is now waging a war against perhaps the most tyrannical judge in all of the world. | |
| What's his name? | |
| De Morales? | |
| Alejandro De Morales? | |
| And it would seem that after Pavlovsky and Rumble announced that they were suing either the Brazilian government or Demoraes, I don't think you can sue a judge directly, but suing the government, Demoraes seems to have nuked his Twitter account. | |
| It's wild stuff, people. | |
| Okay, now hold on. | |
| I should have double-checked that we're live across all platforms. | |
| We're live on Rumble. | |
| Why did they never arrest Hunter? | |
| Way worse crimes from Hunter, says Faith Freedom 88. They cover up for their own, but we're going to get into it now, because speaking of covering up for their own, It may be the case that Joe Biden didn't do enough cover-upping for his own, that being Adam Schiff for Brains McSchiff. | |
| The Schiff is going to hit the fan. | |
| Adam Schiff must be Schiffing bricks. | |
| We're going to do a lot of, every time I say Schiff, you're going to think Schiff. | |
| And I'm going to be making a lot of jokes about that. | |
| So we're live across platforms. | |
| We're going to end on YouTube, go over to Rumble, vote with our feet, vote with our dollar. | |
| Supposed to have Dominic Box on today, January 6th, political prisoner, another man whose life was saved by Donald Trump. | |
| He won't be able to do it today, so we're going to do that next week, and it will happen, and we're going to talk about what life was like for the last four years for some of these Jan 6 prisoners, but we're going to start today, before we move on over to Rumble, with Adam Schiff for Brains, McSchiff. | |
| What do we have here going on? | |
| Oh, what's this? | |
| Add to stage? | |
| Let me see what this is here. | |
| Supreme Court Justice Alejandro de Moraes deactivates his... | |
| Well, we're going to come back to that. | |
| We're going to start with Schiffer. | |
| No, you know what? | |
| We're going to start with that right now because it's fun. | |
| We're going to celebrate Chris Pavlovsky and the war that is being waged against tyrannical forces across the globe. | |
| It seems to be the case. | |
| So let me bring up Chris's tweet from earlier today. | |
| I think this is the one here. | |
| Oh, do I not have it up on the backdrop? | |
| Well, hold on. | |
| Let me pull this up because I know that I retweeted it. | |
| Chris Pavlovsky announced that they were suing the Brazilian government. | |
| Now, hold on a second. | |
| Let me get it. | |
| And shortly thereafter, it would seem that the Brazilian government has started to delete stuff, like his entire account. | |
| Let me go to Chris Pavlovsky's... | |
| Here we go, like this. | |
| We're going to go down. | |
| We're going to say... | |
| I love that Chris is now tweeting in Portuguese. | |
| I guess it's Portuguese, right? | |
| If you're in Brazil, RumbleCloud. | |
| Hold on one second. | |
| Is it me, or did he delete his account? | |
| To all the Brazilian people. | |
| Here, you know what? | |
| I'm going to bring this all up, so we're going to go through Chris's tweets on the subject. | |
| Oh, you know what the problem is? | |
| Hold on. | |
| No, I want to remove this. | |
| How do I share screen now? | |
| I need to present something on my end. | |
| I'm going to go here to Chris's Twitter line. | |
| Okay, here we go. | |
| Chris! He's so polite! | |
| He's so polite, and yet it's so effective. | |
| Hey, Alexandre. | |
| We're in receipt of another illegal and secret order from last night, which demands us to comply by tomorrow night. | |
| You have no authority on Rumble here in the USA unless you go through the U.S. government. | |
| I'll repeat, see you in court. | |
| Best, Chris Pavlovsky. | |
| This was Alejandro de Mayor, the supervillain of all villains, the guy who looks like he's straight out of Dune, the judge in Brazil. | |
| In Brazil, you know, it seems that the courts have control over the country. | |
| It's basically like... | |
| A judicial tyranny, and it seems that Demorias is like the ringleader or the mastermind of the judicial tyranny in Brazil. | |
| So, look at this to you. | |
| Bottom line, look at this. | |
| Alejandro's, Alexander's Twitter account no longer exists. | |
| And Chris was observing this. | |
| Later on said, is it mere did Supreme Court Justice of Brazil, Alejandro Demorias, remove his account on X after Rumble filed suit in the U.S.? | |
| I can't access it anymore. | |
| And it does seem that way because he did do it. | |
| Now, recall, first of all, this is a judge. | |
| I don't know, I mean, I presume Elon has everything, so there's no deleting evidence in any real sense on Twitter. | |
| Can a government official delete their official government account? | |
| You will recall once upon a time this occurred up in Canada. | |
| David Lamedi, David Lamedi was the Minister of Defense. | |
| Actually, he's the one who replaced... | |
| Jody Wilson-Raybould, Minister of Justice and Attorney General. | |
| He once just willy-nilly nuked his entire Twitter account. | |
| It was his official government Twitter account. | |
| And at the time, I was a little suspicious because I don't think you can do that. | |
| When you delete official government accounts, it could be a problem. | |
| Moretti, I think he ended up in court and he re-established or re-instated his Twitter account, but we don't know what he deleted by way of DMs in the meantime, etc., etc. | |
| Basically deleting his Twitter account after there's an ounce of a lawsuit, which would tend to lead to discovery, is suspicious as hell. | |
| And it was also in the wake of some news where, let me see, let me get the Brazilian top, here we go, look at this. | |
| This is from February 21st. | |
| Brazil's top court justice orders X to pay $1.4 million for non-compliance. | |
| Sao Paulo, Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alejandro de Moraes, this guy right here, ordered X to pay 8.1 million Brazilian Reis, $1.4 million American, in fines for failing to comply with judicial orders according to a judicial ruling. | |
| The ruling signed on Wednesday and made public by the court on Thursday. | |
| Said the social media platform refused to provide registration data for a profile attributed to Alan dos Santos, an ally of former President Jair Bolsonaro, accused of spreading falsehoods. | |
| This is how they do it. | |
| This is actually what got Rumble Not yeeted from the country, but Rumble said, we're not doing business in a country where you ask us to censor and delete accounts. | |
| No shade on how Elon chose to wage his war, but credit to the way Rumble and Chris decided to wage their war. | |
| You remember there was a push and pull, and then at some point, X said, look, it will be more useful staying in here and complying limitedly in as much as humanly necessary so that Brazilian people can have access to X. And Rumble... | |
| Chris took the other path with Brazil and with France and said, we're not doing it. | |
| We're not censoring accounts. | |
| We're not kicking off RT. | |
| And if you ask us to do that, we're just not going to do business in your country. | |
| Period. In July 2024, this is back to the article, Demoraes ordered both X and Meta to block and ban the account and provide the data. | |
| X said it had blocked the account but could not deliver the requested information, arguing that its operators didn't collect it. | |
| And that the user had, quote, no technical connection point with Brazil, end quote. | |
| De Marais rejected the argument and, in early August, imposed a daily fine of 100,000 Brazilian Reyes, 17,500 US a day, if the social media platform failed to provide the data. | |
| By October, the total fine for noncompliance had reached 8.1, whatever. | |
| X appealed, but later notified the court that it would pay the fine in Wednesdays, ruling the justice order the company to pay the full amount. | |
| Immediately, it is unclear from the decision reviewed by the Associated Press whether X provided the requested registration data. | |
| The company didn't apply for Yadda Yadda. | |
| Okay. Let's see what we've got here. | |
| Last year, Demonyas ordered X's nationwide shutdown after the company said it was removing all remaining Brazilian staff in the country, saying Demonyas had threatened its legal representatives in the country with arrest. | |
| The country's law requires foreign companies to have local legal representatives to receive notifications of court decisions and swiftly take any requisite action. | |
| Yadda Yadda Yadda. | |
| Social media was reinstated a month later after complying with the orders to block certain accounts from the platform, name an official legal representative, and pay fines for not complying with earlier court orders. | |
| Elon Musk, the social media owner, DeMoraes, a foe. | |
| Musk called the judge an enemy of free speech and a criminal, but DeMoraes' decisions have been repeatedly upheld by his peers. | |
| A la exactly what we were talking about, that this is a judicial tyranny that is being upheld by the other members of that court system. | |
| So that's the news. | |
| We'll see what it means. | |
| Maybe it means that Demonias is just leading by example. | |
| No one shall get X in Brazil. | |
| And look, he's sacrificing himself. | |
| He's going first. | |
| But confirmed news. | |
| It's actually totally, totally wild. | |
| Do we do this while we're on the South American side of things? | |
| Gotta leave something over for the Rumble side. | |
| Give me one second. | |
| I got some tweets, some text messages here to look at. | |
| Here we go. | |
| We got... | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| Hold on. | |
| Let me go retweet this and bring this up here because there's a short video with it. | |
| My goodness, that's fast. | |
| You know what? | |
| You know what's even more not able to be understood than Portuguese? | |
| It at 1.75. | |
| I'm going to just go post this. | |
| Let's bring this up here and see what's going on. | |
| The latest info coming in as we're live here. | |
| Okay. Breaking Demodias. | |
| Here we go. | |
| This is it. | |
| Okay. Hold up, hold up, hold up. | |
| This is latest from... | |
| The Incorrupt on X. Okay, we're going to play this. | |
| The tweet. | |
| Alejandro de Moraes has decided to leave X formally Twitter. | |
| The information was confirmed by aides of the STF minister to Daniela Lima underscore. | |
| According to his advisors, Moraes hasn't used the account for over a year. | |
| Hmm. Hasn't used it for tweeting, but that doesn't necessarily mean hasn't used it for DMing. | |
| Okay, anyhow, let's hear it. | |
| Put the volume down, it's going to get confused. | |
| The social network ex-old Twitter. | |
| Minister Alejandro de Moraes no longer used the platform for over a year, according to the outlet. | |
| According to these advisors or minister, he's already been expressed the intention to leave the platform, but it's wise right anyway that there would be some kind of... | |
| Today, oh my God, this is going so fast. | |
| Oh, I can't do it. | |
| He left. | |
| Okay, people, he left, but he says he hasn't used it. | |
| Does that mean I'm not... | |
| Is that going too fast for most of you out there to read as well? | |
| I love Portuguese as well. | |
| Listening to Anderson Silva after every fight when he was the reigning pound-for-pound best fighter ever. | |
| It's like south-of-the-border Italian. | |
| It's a beautiful language to listen to. | |
| And yeah, that's what's going up in Brazil, people. | |
| Or going on down in Brazil. | |
| So, kudos to Pavlovsky and the Rumble team for... | |
| Fighting the righteous war. | |
| We're going to do this one before we head on over to Commitube. | |
| Adam Schiff must be literally Schiffing his pants. | |
| You saw the tooth and nail degree to which Adam Schiff in particular was fighting to oppose the nomination of Kash Patel. | |
| And some of you out there say, oh, well, you know, I was making the joke for a little while. | |
| Well, he got his pardon, so, you know, good for him. | |
| He got his preemptive pardon, which a couple of months ago he was saying is an indication of culpability. | |
| You don't need a pardon if you've done nothing wrong. | |
| And then he gets a preemptive pardon from demented old Joe with an asterisk or an asterisk. | |
| How is it? | |
| With an asterisk. | |
| What did he get that pardon for? | |
| It might explain, I should say, what did he get that pardon for and what did he not get that pardon for? | |
| It might explain why he has been so vitriolically opposed to Kash Patel. | |
| Kash Patel, people say they're holding it against Kash Patel that he went on so many podcasts and did so many public appearances. | |
| A, that's what the president should do. | |
| That's what government officials should do. | |
| Many, multiple, long-format podcasts across an array of different platforms. | |
| They gave him a hard time for going on Stu Peters? | |
| Okay. You don't like Stu Peters? | |
| Okay. Does that mean you don't go on Stu Peters' platform to talk about stuff that needs to be talked about? | |
| Only if you're an idiot who likes to cut off your nose to spite your face. | |
| Think what you will of your interlocutor, comma. | |
| They might still have... | |
| Come on, I'm dictating here. | |
| Say what you will about your interlocutor. | |
| You might still appreciate their platform, and you still need to reach all Americans, even the ones who some people might not like. | |
| So Cash Patel had gone on a lot of podcasts. | |
| He had said a lot of things. | |
| A lot of hyperbolic things. | |
| A lot of things that would make you scared if you were, in fact, a criminal. | |
| Okay. This is from Charlie Kirk. | |
| And let me see. | |
| Okay. You got to love his branding. | |
| This is from Charlie Kirk. | |
| And we're going to play. | |
| The clip on the left is going to go first. | |
| And it's going to be Adam Schiff for Brains McSchiff Face. | |
| Schiffing his pants because I think the gig might be up for him. | |
| And then you're going to get the punchline in a second. | |
| So let's play. | |
| It's a little long. | |
| We'll play this. | |
| It's a good listen. | |
| I'll pause when I want to commentate. | |
| This is someone we cannot trust. | |
| This is someone who lacks the character to do this job. | |
| Someone who lacks the integrity to do this job. | |
| We know that. | |
| Our Republican colleagues know that. | |
| The only qualification Kash Patel has to be FBI director is that when everyone else in the first Trump administration said no, I won't do that. | |
| That crosses moral, ethical, and legal lines. | |
| Kash Patel said, sign me up. | |
| Pause. Do you all remember that Adam Schiff was censured for lying? | |
| He was censured. | |
| Now, maybe it means nothing because so many politicians get censured. | |
| Some politicians get impeached. | |
| Some politicians, some presidents get impeached twice to the point where you say he was impeached twice. | |
| It means nothing when you know that it was abusive. | |
| Adam Schiff for brains is a pathological evil liar. | |
| So, this man is a liar, a confirmed liar, a censured liar, and now he's talking about what someone will not stop to do for political purposes. | |
| In the first Trump administration, as we are seeing in the second, you rise to the level of your sycophancy, and no one is a bigger or more dangerous sycophant than Kash Patel. | |
| This is Adam Schiff, Russiagate hoax liar, talking about Kash Patel being a sycophant. | |
| This political hack does not deserve to be in this building. | |
| He can't do the job. | |
| He won't protect the public. | |
| He will misuse the resources of the Bureau. | |
| He will weaponize it against the president's political opponents rather than protecting the safety, the public safety of the American people. | |
| First of all, Adam Schiff for Brains, Mick Schiff. | |
| Bitch, he's in now. | |
| And he is going to be coming probably after you and a number of others. | |
| Probably. Imagine this guy having the balls to stand up. | |
| I forget where they were. | |
| They're trying to block Kash Patel. | |
| Saying that Kash Patel is going to misuse funds. | |
| Do you know how much the Mueller investigation cost? | |
| I think it cost $33 million. | |
| Maybe a little more. | |
| And their rationale for why it was good was, well, we got that money back in terms of civil fines and penalties and whatever. | |
| This guy wasted government resources to weaponize the government to go after his political rivals for three plus years, this jackass on the left. | |
| Was spouting off the Russiagate lies to take down his political opponent. | |
| Now listen to what Kash Patel has to say. | |
| Adam Schiff is the worst criminal in Congress in the last 250 years. | |
| And what was broke that we're going to talk about right now is Adam Schiff met with a whistleblower. | |
| Adam Schiff went to the podium day after day after day saying, I know nothing about this. | |
| We're not going to discuss it. | |
| We're going to protect it. | |
| And then he, Adam Schiff, led... | |
| The prosecution of the impeachment trial in the Senate of President Donald Trump. | |
| Schiff knew it was a lie when he came out and said smoking gun evidence of Russia collusion. | |
| He knew it was a lie that could not be disproven without someone violating the confidentiality orders of those behind closed doors committee hearings. | |
| Much like he knew that Kash Patel could not disclose his testimony to the grand jury in the Trump case without violating the Gag order or whatever was the confidentiality or in that case. | |
| It's the same tactic. | |
| Shit for brains did it twice. | |
| You think Kash Patel doesn't know that? | |
| Talk about someone who was conflicted out of the game because he was part of the hoax that brought Charmella in, manufactured that false accusation, and then peddled it out to the world. | |
| And he continued, you know, not surprising. | |
| He's lied about almost everything in his life. | |
| But now he lied just to set up a presidential impeachment. | |
| That's what I was talking about, these disinformation campaigns. | |
| By the way, lying to take out a president? | |
| People can give multiple types of words for that. | |
| Do you remember that name? | |
| I don't even know if we're still allowed to say it. | |
| Eric Carmiela? | |
| You literally could not, back during the golden age of internet censorship, you could not put a link with that name in it. | |
| You could not link to an article with it. | |
| You could put a video up on that, it would be like dead on the internet. | |
| Adam Schiff for Brains lied, weaponized the government, went after a bogus impeachment to unseat the duly elected president to hand-tie him for the first three-plus years of his presidency. | |
| Kash Patel uncovered it. | |
| This is the guy who uncovered it, who is now the head of the FBI. | |
| You are damn right, Adam Schiff for Brains must be shifting his pants left, right, and center. | |
| Let's go on. | |
| And then he should be investigated. | |
| Because he lied to the world about his interactions with Charmella, who is a whistleblower, and I can't stress it enough, that started a presidential impeachment. | |
| Now, your history is way better than mine, but I can't remember the last time a president was actually impeached. | |
| It's a significant process and escalation, and it's reserved for the time when it actually shows a crime, not when it shows the manufacture of fake information to show a fake crime. | |
| It used to be a holy procedure. | |
| It used to be a respected procedure. | |
| It used to be the glass that you break in case of the emergency. | |
| And now, knowing that, I sort of look back on the Bill Clinton impeachment with a different set of goggles. | |
| Although I do think doing the nasty with a young intern in the Oval Office, that may not be a crime, although it might be. | |
| And then the lying about it, certainly. | |
| But bottom line, was the... | |
| Threshold met back with Bill Clinton. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Wasn't involved. | |
| Was barely conscious. | |
| Was the threshold met now? | |
| Absolutely not for the first one. | |
| And even less so for the second one. | |
| They've turned it into basically... | |
| They've rendered it devoid of meaning like they've rendered words devoid of meaning. | |
| White nationalist, Nazi, racist, anti-Semite, xenophobe. | |
| Those used to mean something until they got diluted down to meaning nothing. | |
| Impeachment used to mean something. | |
| And then the Democrats went ahead and turned it into tissue paper, toilet paper. | |
| Schiff-covered toilet paper. | |
| How do I do this? | |
| Oh my gosh, why does Kashmir Tell have two eyes? | |
| The guy that found and manufactured the evidence with Charmella was the prosecutor in the case against the target of the investigation. | |
| That is the ultimate, from a prosecutorial standpoint, conflict of interest. | |
| But he knew what he was doing, and he thought he would never get exposed. | |
| And I think thanks to... | |
| You know, I think it was John Solomon and his fantastic reporting. | |
| We now see what I've been saying for years, that I thought he met with him for sure, and it will come out, and it now has. | |
| The man who has now uncovered the original hoax is now in charge of the FBI. | |
| And it might explain why Adam Schiff is a little bit personally invested in opposing Cash Patel's nomination, because he knows that Cash knows exactly what Adam Schiff did that was probably against the law. | |
| Now, a lot of us are making a joke. | |
| It's a good thing you got your preemptive pardon. | |
| Shift for brains. | |
| But I just, you know, for the fun of it, decided to go look up the actual wording of that pardon because, you know, you got a preemptive pardon. | |
| Good. But it wasn't an individual pardon, unlike, you know, what Biden did with his son, pardoned him for a decade of criminality. | |
| This was a group pardon. | |
| And it's a very specific group pardon. | |
| It's actually a very specific group part in terms of what it includes, but specifically in terms of what it doesn't include, and Adam, shift for brains. | |
| Probably knows exactly what it doesn't include, which might mean that he might still have some legal exposure. | |
| I don't know what the statute of limitations is on these things, but let's go ahead and look at this. | |
| I hope Adam Schiff realizes that his Joe Biden pardon only covers his criminal activity as it relates to the Jan 6 investigation. | |
| It doesn't cover his criminal activity as it relates to the Russiagate hoax. | |
| I also hope Kash Patel realizes that too. | |
| Yes, people, that's glib. | |
| Kash Patel definitely appreciates that. | |
| And then I just went to pull it up. | |
| What's really funny is it's very tough to find. | |
| I think this has been not wiped, but I don't think it's accessible now. | |
| Where did I get it? | |
| The original link on the White House now says there's nothing there. | |
| Executive Grant of Clemency, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America. | |
| What date was this on? | |
| It has to be dated. | |
| I'll see here. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| To all whom this presence shall come. | |
| To all to whom these presence shall come. | |
| Greeting! Be it known that. | |
| This day, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States, pursuant to my powers under Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution, have granted unto the members of Congress who served on the Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol, the Select Committee defined term, the staff of the Select Committee, as provided by House Resolution 503, 117th Congress, and the police officers from the D.C. Metropolitan Department, or... | |
| This is going to be an interesting wording here. | |
| Or the U.S. Capitol Police who testified before the select committee. | |
| I would have put the word and because it's not clear if it's the police department or the other police who testified. | |
| But bottom line, the members of the committee, their staff, and police officers who testified before the select committee. | |
| So there's a question as to whether or not it includes Mr. Byrd who summarily executed Ashley Babbitt. | |
| And then they're going to go. | |
| A full and unconditional pardon for any offenses against the United States, which they may have committed or taken part in, arising from or in manner, in any manner related to the activities or subject matter of the select committee to investigate the January 6th attack of the United States Capitol. | |
| In testimony whereof, I have here unto sign my name and cause the seal of the department to be affixed, yada, yada, yada. | |
| What is it? | |
| Done on the 19th day of January. | |
| The day before that demented old corrupt buffoon. | |
| Left office. | |
| So that's a belaboring way of saying Schiff for Brains doesn't have a pardon for what he did during Russiagate. | |
| He doesn't have a pardon for anything else he's done in government, potentially criminal, other than what he did that was probably criminal in the context of that January 6th investigation. | |
| So Adam Schiff really might be up Schiff Creek without a paddle. | |
| He probably knows that there's meaningful exposure, corruption, and Lord knows what his future is going to be in politics. | |
| I am not for unwarranted political reprisals. | |
| As Enrique Tarrio said, I'm not against retribution to the extent that retribution is justice. | |
| So if our understanding of retribution is justice, I support retribution. | |
| If retribution is supposed to be vengeful and disproportionate and excessive and beyond justice, then I support justice. | |
| Adam Schiff is a goddamn criminal. | |
| And he does belong behind bars. | |
| What law did he break? | |
| He lied to the American people. | |
| He tried to usurp. | |
| He tried to undermine the duly elected president. | |
| He's corrupted the system in ways that some people will never come back from it in terms of being able to trust the system again, and I can't blame them. | |
| He is a damn criminal, and if there's any cosmic and legal justice on this earth, he will get what he deserves. | |
| Theophrastus said, if I embezzled $1 million from a bank but get a pardon, Do I get to keep the money? | |
| Why do the Bidens get to keep the bribes? | |
| Well, they weren't convicted of anything. | |
| They were all preemptive. | |
| They barely even got charged. | |
| I mean, Hunter got charged, but it wasn't for the pay-to-play bribery scheme. | |
| None of them got charged. | |
| And so there will be no charges. | |
| There will be no investigation. | |
| I think if they had been convicted, I'm trying to think of some of the cases where those corrupt judges who were doing the pay-to-convict thing... | |
| I think they still have to do their civil restitution. | |
| They might still have to restitute the sums they were ordered to pay. | |
| So had they gotten convicted in order to repay the sums of their ill-gotten gains from the pay-to-play corruption, maybe they would still have to pay those back. | |
| Theophrastus, thank you for that. | |
| Sporty1275, thank you for that. | |
| I hope you didn't mean to put a comment that you miss. | |
| All right. | |
| That feels good. | |
| Did I miss anything on Adam Schiff? | |
| I think we got it all. | |
| Cash Patel's in the house, people. | |
| And, um... | |
| Yeah, sorry. | |
| This actually came from Bill Brown and our locals community. | |
| Although I know Bill gets these things and shares them with me, so... | |
| This is a good meme. | |
| I mean, yes, it's making fun of the way somebody looks, but I do also believe that you end up, um... | |
| Outwardly manifesting the evil inside. | |
| So maybe he's got a thyroid problem. | |
| Can men get thyroid problems? | |
| Maybe he's got a thyroid problem, which explains his buggy eyes. | |
| Maybe he's on some sort of steroids, which gives him the puffy cheeks. | |
| But funny is funny. | |
| And this is Adam, buggy-eyed shift from Brains, looking like he's shitting a brick. | |
| And it says, when you realize that the guy who exposed your Russia hoax is now in charge of the FBI. | |
| Okay, bring that one down. | |
| Let me bring this back up here and say what we got going on in vivabarneslaw.locals.com. | |
| He's a commie POS and that's enough for me, says Bill Brown. | |
| I knew that was Bill Brown. | |
| And there is a, let me see what's going on here. | |
| Just going to get to some of the chat here. | |
| Viva, says Sammy. | |
| Clinton was impeached because he lied under oath. | |
| It was a political power play to impeach him and took the gravitas out of the procedure. | |
| Yeah, I know. | |
| He wasn't impeached for sticking the cigar or the relationship, which I think his relationship with a young staffer, it's sexual exploitation. | |
| I know she's an adult, and then there's also a legit theory that I'm sort of giving a lot of credence to now that she might have been Mossad, whatever, that she might have been a honey trap to get incriminating information on Bill Clinton. | |
| When she turned around after her alleged sexual violation and votes for the party that allegedly sexually exploited her and then tried to ruin her life afterwards, and then 20 years later, whatever it is, she's voting for that same party, then I said, hmm, maybe there is some truth to the fact that she was not only a willing participant, or maybe she was an unwilling participant but being used to get dirt on Bill Clinton, but she might have been part of an operation. | |
| I'm willing to lend that a lot more credibility than I was prior to. | |
| Yeah, I appreciate it. | |
| Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. | |
| I did not have sexual relations with that woman. | |
| That depends on what your definition of is is. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| You're slick, Willie. | |
| You're so smart, man. | |
| You got us all. | |
| Sporty1275 says nothing is going to happen except a bunch of strongly worded letters like years past. | |
| You know what, Sporty? | |
| I think we're in a different era now. | |
| First of all, you might be right. | |
| Let me give a random unique. | |
| 83% of the time, you're right. | |
| I think we're in a different realm now. | |
| Trump is not playing softball. | |
| He's playing by different rules, and it's a different team in there now. | |
| This is not, you know, your standard. | |
| I don't know who the hell was on George Bush's, you know, Jr.'s team. | |
| I don't know who the hell was on. | |
| I know who was on Trump's team the first time around. | |
| This is not Trump 1.0. | |
| This is Trump 2.0. | |
| The rules of the game have changed. | |
| They tried to take his head off. | |
| Cash Patel's not going in there to write strongly worded letters. | |
| I would also like a very, very thorough FBI investigation into how the events of July 13th unfolded and people to go to jail for that. | |
| But this is a different game, so I think the likelihood that it's not just going to be strongly worded letters has never been higher than it is right now. | |
| Kash Patel must revisit the fake Obama birth certificate. | |
| I don't know what the statute of limitations are on fraudulent documents, but I also look at the... | |
| If, well, past is prologue, but also the present can be applied to the past mutanus mutanus. | |
| Knowing what they freaked out about and said was fake, phony conspiracy theory that I now have lived through in the last five years that was actually more accurate than what they were saying. | |
| Call me a birther. | |
| I think it's very suspicious the vitriol that they threw over merely questioning whether or not Obama was born in America. | |
| First of all, immigration is a great thing. | |
| What would it be a big problem for? | |
| It would only be a big problem if it actually disqualified him from being president. | |
| I am undecided on that, but I am very much more prone to believing that it is in fact true than false, based only on their reaction and how they have been systematic, pathological liars about everything else since then, over which they had a very similar reaction. | |
| COVID, masks, Ukraine, Hunter Biden laptop, Russiagate, all. | |
| Equally vitriolic, insanely politically partisan, hyperbolic opposition. | |
| And they were all accurate and true. | |
| Now, I'm going over here. | |
| Do you think Nuremberg trials are going to happen for all these Satanists? | |
| asks Tressa Lee. | |
| No. There will not be Nuremberg trials, but maybe there will be some civil trials, some criminal trials. | |
| Maybe. But that's that. | |
| Okay, so this is what we're going to do, people. | |
| Let me see what we're doing here on Commitube. | |
| Get your butts on over. | |
| Those who are watching on Commitube to Rumble. | |
| Well, this is... | |
| Okay, let's see. | |
| Hold on. | |
| This is a little discouraged. | |
| There's 4,000 people watching on Commitube, and we are 2,900 on Rumble. | |
| I'm going to give everybody the link, and you can even come over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com because it's not supporters only today because I thought we were going to have an interview. | |
| Here, come on over to Rumble. | |
| And if you're so inclined, just come on over to Viva Barnes Law. | |
| You don't even have to be a supporter. | |
| I think you might have to create an account. | |
| If you're not inclined to do that, don't, but come to Rumble right now because we're going to have the rest of the show and have some fun on the platform that supports free speech and that fights the actual tyrants. | |
| I want to see that number go down because it makes me feel good when the number goes down. | |
| Refresh. By the way, before you leave, even on CommentTube, make sure that you're liked and subscribed and turn notifications on. | |
| But Rumble is the place where the adults are playing these days. | |
| Why is Rumble better than Revanced, says D-Stock. | |
| I don't know what Revanced is. | |
| Rumble is better because it's a free speech platform. | |
| It's got a CEO who is among the most faithful to the cause people out there and has been fighting the battle for years now. | |
| Last one here. | |
| Mark Le Tourneau says, Trump is surrounded by the real Marvel team. | |
| Yeah, some of the memes are just amazing. | |
| Telsey Gabbard. | |
| DNI. RFK Jr. | |
| HHS. Pam Bondi. | |
| She's doing good. | |
| I like Pam Bondi. | |
| I mean, whether or not people would have liked Matt Gaetz more, Pam Bondi's doing great thus far. | |
| Kash Patel. | |
| We're going to get Bhattacharya ahead of... | |
| Oh, crap. | |
| I'm going to forget the name of the... | |
| Damn it. | |
| We're going to get Bhattacharya in there. | |
| And it's the beginning. | |
| Of a new revolution. | |
| Okay, with that said, everybody, now we're going to formally end it on Commitube and bring our butts on over to Rumble. | |
| So, ending here. | |
| And Commitube, if you're not coming, Unusual Suspects, 4 o'clock this afternoon. | |
| I'll be live there as well. | |
| It'll be repetitive. | |
| I'm going to talk about the Chutkin dismissal of the TRO. | |
| We'll talk about that over on Rumble as well, if you didn't see the video yesterday. | |
| That is it. | |
| Removing on Rumble. | |
| Removing on YouTube. | |
| See you on Rumble right now. | |
| Booyah. All right, let's see what's going on here in our VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com community. | |
| A special SOV has a... | |
| Oh, NIH. | |
| Thank you, a special SOV. | |
| A special SOV. | |
| NIH, National Institute of Health. | |
| You know, you're going to have Jay Bhattacharya ahead of the NIH. | |
| NIH, the one being responsible for gain-of-function research through third-party NGOs, you know, with the criminal-in-chief, Fauci, at the helm. | |
| Yeah, it's a new game and things are going to be different going forward and Trump is playing no holds barred and with nothing really left to lose because he's not seeking re-election. | |
| Doesn't have to. | |
| And he's got his, not his replacement, but the next generation of MAGA with J.D. Vance who goes out to Europe and smokes those commie Europeans righteously. | |
| Oh, did I not put the Rumble link in? | |
| Yeah, I did put the Rumble link on the thing. | |
| All right, let's go see what's going on in Rumble here now. | |
| Booyah, the number's going up, people. | |
| Rumble up and running, says Steve Chapman. | |
| Cardino Drive says, why was the bird vax just approved for the chickens? | |
| I don't know if that's a joke. | |
| And then there's... | |
| Okay, I don't know what the hell's going on in that. | |
| So, now hold on. | |
| What do we have left on the back burner here? | |
| Javier Malay, people. | |
| Okay, that's what we're talking about here. | |
| That was a better segue at the beginning when we were talking about Brazil, but Javier Malay seems to have gotten into big fucking trouble for no good reason. | |
| Full disclosure, in as much as I know him, I like Javier Malay. | |
| He's eccentric. | |
| He's wild. | |
| He's got unkempt hair. | |
| Hold on. | |
| Let me just see. | |
| How tall do you think Javier Malay is? | |
| I think I might be taller than him. | |
| How tall is... | |
| No, I'm not taller than him. | |
| Javier Malay. | |
| Guess is in the chat, people. | |
| I'm unblocked. | |
| I'm going to say he's 5'8". | |
| What do you guys say? | |
| In the chat. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| Javier Merle's height is a topic of some debate and speculation, with various sources and public discussions providing different estimates. | |
| Based on available information, his height is most commonly reported to be around 5'8". | |
| So I was right on the money, and he's taller than me. | |
| I like Javier Merle, and he's been doing great stuff for Argentina. | |
| He's been... | |
| You know, showing you that you can actually make radical change in no time at all, which is why it's not disappointing in a judgmental sense. | |
| It's disappointing that he seems to have gotten duped or at least too much on his plate to do a sufficient due diligence or too many not enough people on his team doing sufficient due diligence before recommending something to him. | |
| And it looks like he might have gotten caught with what is referred to in the Bitcoin community as a rug pull. | |
| Not a rug pull, people. | |
| It's a rug. | |
| They pulled the rug out from under you. | |
| What is referred to in the trading market as a pump and dump. | |
| Now, it's a little bit harder on regulated markets. | |
| Typically, where you see the pump and dumps are what's on the OTCs, the over-the-counter or pink sheets. | |
| Unregulated micro-stocks is where you see pump and dumps. | |
| Most people know that they're pump and dumps, and they don't care that they're pump and dumps so long as they can pump and then dump at the right time. | |
| So Javier Malay tweeted out promoting a Libra token. | |
| Which I might have inaccurately referred to it as a meme coin. | |
| It's unclear if it's a meme coin or if Javier Malay knew that it was not what he promoted it to be in his singular tweet, which he then deleted, but damage was done because when a president of Argentina tweets out support for a cryptocurrency as though it's going to be, you know, great for the country, great for independence, great for financial... | |
| What's it called when you disconnect from the government? | |
| Decentralizing from government? | |
| When a president does that, and you like that president, and you otherwise trust their judgment and good sense, it will lend an immeasurable credibility to anything. | |
| Sharon. And I picked CNN on purpose because they're going to be partisan anti-Malay, as they have been for a little while, so I want to see their spin on this. | |
| This is from February 18th, three days ago. | |
| Argentina president defends his cryptocurrency tweet after crash, comparing losses to gambling. | |
| Let me open this up here. | |
| Argentinian President Javier Millet at the G27 in Rio de Janeiro on November 19th, 2024. | |
| Argentine President Javier Millet defended himself for promoting a cryptocurrency whose value collapsed within hours of its launch, likening those who invested in the token after his endorsement to gamblers at casinos. | |
| Quote, the reality is if you go to the casino and lose your money, I mean, what is the claim if you knew... | |
| That it had those characteristics, he said during an interview with the TN News channel that aired on Monday night. | |
| Malay said he promoted the little-known crypto coin Libra in a tweet on X last week because he believed it would encourage economic growth by funding small businesses. | |
| This is his quote. | |
| I'm spreading the word that this is to fund Argentines who do projects and who do not have access to financing, he told TN. | |
| The price of the coin soared after the president's endorsement, then quickly collapsed, leading to losses for thousands of investors. | |
| Millay deleted his tweet hours after posting it saying he had doubts about the matter. | |
| And unfortunately, the damage is done by that point. | |
| By the way, when I hypothetically say he was either in on it or he was duped, it's not because I believe he was in on it. | |
| You have to steal, man. | |
| What are the alternatives here? | |
| There are really... | |
| You go down your paths of analysis, and there's only two alternatives. | |
| He either was aware of it, or he wasn't aware of it. | |
| And then you can go down, if he was aware of it, did he profit from it, or did other people, did he do it for other people? | |
| I don't think he was aware of it. | |
| So, he wasn't aware of it. | |
| Now, was he not aware of it because people were advising him badly, because he didn't look into it properly? | |
| And at that point, it might not even matter why. | |
| It won't matter. | |
| He was on it. | |
| It'll be even worse. | |
| If he wasn't aware of it, it's a problem. | |
| With great power comes great responsibility. | |
| You're the president of Argentina. | |
| People trust you. | |
| People look to you for advice, for support, for rebuilding an economy. | |
| And you tweet out support for something, it will lend credibility to that. | |
| And if you haven't done a due diligence on it and you tweet it out nonetheless, that's an error of judgment. | |
| Critics have called for Malay's impeachment and filed multiple criminal complaints against the president, including at least one to the U.S. Department of Justice, alleging an illicit association to commit an indeterminate number of frauds. | |
| One complaint against the president. | |
| The developers of the cryptocurrency and others named individuals was filed by the Popular Unity Party and others. | |
| It alleges that, quote, "The biggest mega scam in history in this sector was carried out through an operation known as rug pull, which occurs when the developers behind the project launch a token, attract investors to increase its values, then abruptly withdraw and take the money." The plaintiff said Monday that the judge had been appointed to look into the complaint. | |
| CNN reached out to the token's developers for comment on the case. | |
| On Saturday, the firm behind the launch, Kelser, rejected claims that the project's backers were scammers. | |
| Asked if he thought he made a mistake, Malay told. | |
| TN, no, because I also acted in good faith. | |
| He might have made a good faith mistake of not doing a sufficient due diligence before publicly promoting something. | |
| And I'll get to that in a second. | |
| Asked if he thought he made it. | |
| Okay. Mullane insisted that anyone who invested in the coin did so voluntarily despite his tweet. | |
| I did not promote it. | |
| What I did was spread it. | |
| That's kind of the same thing when it comes from that. | |
| He said, adding that he did not benefit from the crypto coin, and that much I certainly believe. | |
| So we talked about this actually on The Unusual Suspects earlier this week. | |
| It's one of two things. | |
| He either knew, which I don't think he did, or he didn't know, in which case he tweeted out intempestively. | |
| What's the word? | |
| There's a word there. | |
| He didn't do his due diligence before tweeting it out. | |
| And that's a problem. | |
| It's a problem of judgment. | |
| It's forgivable, depending on who you are. | |
| It won't be forgivable for his political adversaries. | |
| They will use this to undermine his presidency and potentially to remove him from power. | |
| He's a criminal or adult, says Colorado Watch. | |
| Or he's just getting bad advice and doesn't want to throw under the bus the people who gave him the bad advice. | |
| No, no. | |
| Maybe it doesn't even matter if he throws under the bus the people who gave him the bad advice because he hired the people who gave him the bad advice. | |
| So, that's it. | |
| Now, apparently we might be having an Argentinian lawyer who's going to come in and discuss this with us. | |
| Which is going to be very cool. | |
| But that's the scandal brewing in Argentina. | |
| And it's a damn shame because all other things considered, he's done great. | |
| And I do agree, to some extent, anybody investing in bitcoins, meme coins, cryptocurrency, anyone who invests in the market, you know what you're getting involved in. | |
| But if you have an advisor who says this is what you should invest in, they give you bad advice. | |
| Either through negligence or corruption, you might have a claim against them. | |
| And as much as people investing in crypto are gambling with that money, it doesn't mean that the president coming out and saying, I'm just spreading the word about this wonderful project that's going to help Argentinians, and then people get invested in it, and they say, well, you know, you should have looked twice before leaping. | |
| Don't listen to what I have to say is basically what Malay is saying, and that's a bad thing for a president of a country to be saying. | |
| Let me go to the chat because the chat always knows more than me here. | |
| I'm going to go to vivabarneslaw.locals.com and see what they're saying. | |
| Hey Viva, did Robert let you know about Jana Lunden, the US citizen being secretly spot on by the Irish police? | |
| I watched the Bourbon with Barnes yesterday and I heard him talking about that. | |
| I'll get to that in a bit. | |
| Let me see here if there's anything on the subject of the crypto. | |
| I'm going to go to Rumble as well and see what's going on here. | |
| Bitcoin, so far, the only one consistent, says KingRuby. | |
| Yeah, I was looking into Doge. | |
| I mean, I'm gambling with a little bit of Doge. | |
| And understanding the difference between Doge and Bitcoin and unlimited issuance, but that is issued at a certain rate to correlate to inflation, I can appreciate that something that has an unlimited issuance technically has no real value. | |
| As far as the argument goes with Dogecoin, it's not clear that that's any different than fiat currency at large. | |
| The Feds just have to add a little zero and they just manufacture money out of thin air, which means they continually print money. | |
| So what value is fiat currency? | |
| So I'm gambling a little bit with Doge and Bitcoin as well. | |
| Now, I seem to see someone in the backdrop. | |
| His name, it looks like it's Facundo. | |
| Facundo, are you ready to come in? | |
| I think, from what I've been told by Encryptus, who's my de facto Jamie now, and it's fantastic. | |
| He's an Argentinian lawyer. | |
| I'm going to bring him in and let him introduce himself. | |
| People are going to get an in-depth, unique analysis, and everyone who didn't come over from Commitube is going to have missed it until I put this up on YouTube later on. | |
| All right, I'm bringing you in, sir. | |
| Okay, hi. | |
| How's it going? | |
| I'm going to leave it like this. | |
| Sir, who are you? | |
| I'm Facundo. | |
| I'm a lawyer from Argentina, and I can only be found online on VivaBarslo.com. | |
| Okay, so you're a member of our community. | |
| Are you in Argentina now, or are you in America? | |
| Yeah, no, I'm in Argentina. | |
| Okay, very cool. | |
| May I ask, I've got to, what's on the back? | |
| It's your law degree, it's a cross, and what are the other two things? | |
| All those are my dad's, though. | |
| I had to go into his office for the setup of the camera. | |
| Alright, so you are a lawyer in Argentina? | |
| Yes. In what city in Argentina, may I ask? | |
| Buenos Aires. | |
| That's the capital city. | |
| Is it the most beautiful place on Earth? | |
| Some parts of it are really good. | |
| Other parts, it's a city. | |
| You go to nature all the time. | |
| This is a city. | |
| Yes, my concern is going to nature within the confines of a city. | |
| I'm very scared of the nature because I don't know who you're going to find in that nature. | |
| It's like California is the most beautiful place on earth, but I'm not comfortable hiking in the middle of LA just because I don't know who the heck I'm going to run into. | |
| What's the crime rate like? | |
| What's the crime rate like in Buenos Aires? | |
| It's very bad, right? | |
| It's not that bad, but it's spiking up a little bit. | |
| The issue is that we have a province around it, a territory, to call it, with a different government. | |
| And that place is a mess. | |
| That place is like every day you hear about people getting killed and free zones where crime is not even punished. | |
| All right, so you're a lawyer by trade. | |
| Yes. What type of law? | |
| Commercial or civil? | |
| Commercial, civil, employees with issues. | |
| Usually civil, but yeah. | |
| Everything by crime. | |
| Everything by criminal. | |
| Now, have I understood what Malay is being accused of and what the mechanism was in this entire, call it a scam or a debacle at least? | |
| Yeah. Do you want to explain what happened? | |
| I don't know if you gave anybody an introduction on what happened. | |
| You go ahead and explain. | |
| I explained it. | |
| I read an article. | |
| I think, but let's hear it from someone who's on the ground. | |
| Okay, so what happens is that he posted tweet saying like, there is this wonderful new crypto and it's gonna, Be used to pay for industries in Argentina, for growth of business. | |
| And he puts the leg there. | |
| The moment he puts the leg there, the price goes crazy. | |
| A couple hours after that, Millie goes like, hey, I'm seeing there are issues in the movements and I don't know how this business is going. | |
| It looks a little shady. | |
| And he deletes the previous tweet. | |
| He basically pulls out his endorsement. | |
| It was already apparently going down. | |
| People were saying that they were losing money. | |
| And after he did that, the whole thing crashed. | |
| Then the opposition started accusing him of trying to do a fraud and trying to impeach him. | |
| Well, I don't blame them because, first of all, you gave them the fodder to do that with. | |
| And apparently the initial investors, they netted like $100 million before it tanked to zero and they've taken off. | |
| Yeah. Yeah, but... | |
| What happened is the same thing that happens with all these things. | |
| It's the same thing that happened when they had two announces and all of those. | |
| People go in because they see a famous person, a president, say something, everybody buys, and there are people waiting to sell whatever they had before that. | |
| And the moment that they do that, the whole thing crashes. | |
| Here it crashed quicker, I guess, because Millay said, like, okay, this looks shady and they're leading his tweet, and everybody's sold. | |
| Okay. Then the arguments are to be, the first argument around here was like, okay, there are a bunch of poor people that pour all their money into this thing, and now the president has made out with all this money. | |
| The thing is, when you start to find out what you need to do to buy this weird crypto, you need to buy into Solana, have a phantom wallet, like, it feels like, I don't know anything about it, it feels like every single one of those steps probably gets you a bunch of viruses on your computer and not your whole bank. | |
| Well, okay, that's actually interesting. | |
| So, and by the way, I'm looking in our locals community, Sammy says, when he deleted, when he did, when did he tweet about the Lira? | |
| Because it was at, about Libra. | |
| It was at 0,000738 at 11 a.m. | |
| Shot up to 0.227, which is like, that's a hundredfold, at 11.30, then at 12, 0.007, which is, Less than what it was at before, and then slowly deflates. | |
| I mean, I don't know what the timeline was exactly, but it was his tweet that correlated to the spike. | |
| Right. It seems that it was live like a couple seconds before he tweeted. | |
| So they must have had set it up to do that. | |
| And now it's interesting that you said... | |
| This coin, was it offered on main exchanges like Coinbase? | |
| No, that's the thing. | |
| It wasn't on any of those. | |
| Because in the beginning, nobody knew anything. | |
| But then when you start finding out, only if you're one of these people that gambles on these meme coins. | |
| I know it's not like I'm defending him because everybody's attacking him, but unless you're a person that gambles on these meme coins, there's no way you could have gotten it in that short amount of time. | |
| It's not like... | |
| No, but it is interesting because one of my alternate theories as well is that he got used, or at least he got played, and now there's going to be a war both on him and on crypto for further regulations and to frustrate what his ultimate goal was, which was to mainstream crypto in Argentinian culture. | |
| And now he's basically shot himself in the foot. | |
| It looks like he might have been the patsy, an unwitting patsy to a broader scheme here. | |
| Right. Yeah. | |
| There was an investigation by Coffecilla, that guy that got his camera somewhere. | |
| And he spoke with Matthew Hayden, I think is his name, the guy that set up this whole thing. | |
| He says many times that Millet didn't get any money out of this. | |
| Everybody almost said the president didn't get anything. | |
| But hold on. | |
| He says on the... | |
| He spoke with Coffey Silla, that Hayden guy. | |
| I mean, it's too many things. | |
| Like, oh, yeah, we pop it up all the time. | |
| Yeah, I snipe coins. | |
| So he's admitted to all those things where he's screwing people. | |
| It's weird that he takes out the time to say, oh, no, yeah, Millet didn't get any money. | |
| So I don't know. | |
| To me, it feels like he didn't get any money. | |
| It looks like he had some crypto advisor. | |
| He's the guy that needs to be playing for all of this. | |
| If he didn't get any money. | |
| I would be shocked if he did get money. | |
| That would be too easy to connect. | |
| And so it looks like he just got duped into a tweet that is going to have... | |
| It looked like a small pebble when he tweeted it, but it's actually a big bull that's going to cause some serious ripples. | |
| Yeah. Well, the justice is investigating. | |
| He called the Ministry of Corruption to investigate. | |
| And now his main issue was that the Senate was trying to set up like a commission to investigate him. | |
| And they lost by one vote. | |
| So they couldn't do it. | |
| Some people were complaining with reason that the people that need to investigate is the judicial power. | |
| You don't need the legislature to start investigating something where they don't have the tools for it. | |
| All they want to do is give speeches about how terrible this thing is. | |
| We've got King of Biltong over on Rumble says, these controversies, I lost the comment, but these controversies are intended to undermine public confidence in crypto, like FTX, like Hawk Tua. | |
| Although I do think there's a big difference between the meme coins and the FTX scandal itself. | |
| Very cool. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, I think that's about the size of it right now. | |
| This happened two or three days ago. | |
| Yeah. How does the impeachment process work in Argentina? | |
| Well, I think it's done because they weren't able to set up. | |
| Yeah, you need to do sort of like in the U.S. You need to do a trial in the Senate. | |
| But they couldn't even get a commission to investigate. | |
| So if they lost that, there's no way they can impeach him. | |
| Okay. All right, good enough. | |
| We'll see where it goes. | |
| Facundo, how long have you been part of the community for? | |
| I had the diamond, probably a couple of years. | |
| Yeah, because I was around when the 2020 thing was going on. | |
| That's how I do it. | |
| It's been a long time. | |
| Amazing. Well, Facundo, I know who I'm going to. | |
| How is Malay doing? | |
| Other than that, how is Malay doing for the people of Argentina? | |
| Other than that, he's doing really well. | |
| At the time, when the election was going on, his main opponent, who was the previous Minister of Economy, he basically could do anything he wanted with the government, and he couldn't... | |
| Hold inflation unchecked because he wouldn't stop spending. | |
| So the whole thing can go. | |
| The fact that he did what he did in a year, got a hold of the inflation, stopped the prices from going crazy every day, that's insane. | |
| The claim is that this year everything is going to start looking up. | |
| Basically, he stopped the bleeding. | |
| The question is if we start healing now. | |
| Well, unfortunately, this comes at a bad time, but hopefully... | |
| We'll see. | |
| I do say, like, anybody investing in those types of coins probably knows the risk. | |
| They don't probably. | |
| They know the risk. | |
| And it's true. | |
| Like you say, you're not getting retail investors like grannies and grandpas who are creating crypto accounts and then going to these obscure exchanges. | |
| The news has this reel that keeps showing of these people that lost all their money. | |
| And there are all these ripped guys shouting. | |
| I think that guy was like, oh, no, I lost all my money. | |
| I think that guy's fake, but I'll play that one when you get out of it. | |
| Let me see here. | |
| Libra Freakout. | |
| Let's see if I can find that video. | |
| I'll get that in a second. | |
| Okay, that's very interesting. | |
| So it seems that the Argentinian, at least in the news there, it's reached its peak and it's now fading off and it might not. | |
| The thing is, it went all the way. | |
| It happened right before the weekend, so they were all talking about it. | |
| And they were like, oh, no, the stock's going to go crazy. | |
| And then, yeah, it dipped a little, and then it went back to normal the next day. | |
| And then there was some other scandal with a journalist, and now everybody's talking about that. | |
| So it's like it's simmering down. | |
| Okay. Excellent. | |
| Well, Facundo, I might come back to you for more questions. | |
| What is your username over on Locals? | |
| Facundo. Facundo? | |
| All right. | |
| Awesome. I will find you there, and I'll thank you after the show. | |
| Okay. Thank you. | |
| All right, man. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Have a good one. | |
| Oh, by the way, so Facundo was talking about this guy right here. | |
| I happen to think this is fake. | |
| It's for show. | |
| Kid's ripped. | |
| He wants to show off his muscles. | |
| He wants to show off his diamond cross. | |
| Oh, to be young. | |
| I used to look like that, people. | |
| Hold up. | |
| We need volume. | |
| Where's the volume here? | |
| Plus, I mean, yeah. | |
| When everybody says, I gotta turn on the camera to cry. | |
| Gotta make sure it's center. | |
| Gotta make sure I throw my whatever statue. | |
| This is against the wall right in the middle. | |
| He's wearing Crocs. | |
| When I first saw it, and I thought he was barefoot, and I'm like, okay, fine. | |
| He might be legit throwing a fit. | |
| Watch this. | |
| I'm fucking broke! | |
| I'm broke! | |
| I'm fucking broke! | |
| Now, for those of you who think that that was a target for him to set up, I can tell you, as a garage door owner myself, That probably has, like, the last repair information and the number of the garage door guy. | |
| Alright, I'm gonna play through it. | |
| I'm gonna shut my big mouth here. | |
| Listen. I'm fucking... | |
| I'm broke! | |
| I'm broke! | |
| I'm fucking broke! | |
| I'm gonna find you! | |
| I'm gonna find you, Dennis! | |
| I'm gonna find you! | |
| You rocked me! | |
| I have nothing! | |
| I have to sell my Rolex! | |
| I have to sell it! | |
| I have to sell all my shit! | |
| I don't have anything! | |
| I guess you're a piece of the shit! | |
| You rocked me! | |
| You all rocked me, bro! | |
| And I'm going to find you! | |
| I'm going to find you! | |
| He doesn't have anything. | |
| Except for his youth, his health, his future. | |
| And I don't believe that he was actually... | |
| I don't know how anybody invests everything that they've ever owned into a meme... | |
| Not a meme coin, but an obscure cryptocurrency. | |
| To be young and not appreciate what you have for the world. | |
| That's Javier Malay, people. | |
| What else do we... | |
| I'm going to go to the Viva Barnes Law. | |
| Viva Asfakundo. | |
| How his mother is doing. | |
| I'll do that. | |
| Now I have to do that off air. | |
| I didn't know. | |
| Okay, well, I regret that. | |
| Two things can be true at the same time, says Joe Mazcu. | |
| Lefson says that is really poor acting. | |
| I think he's just using it as an excuse to show off his ripped eight-pack and his abs. | |
| Oh, it's very... | |
| Oh, lordy, lordy. | |
| Okay, what else do we have on the backdrop here? | |
| I wanted to go to Rumble for a second because I see... | |
| Speaking of... | |
| Bill Tong. | |
| You're better off investing in your health, people, than some of these meme coins. | |
| King of Biltong, increase your protein intake with some great-tasting meat snacks. | |
| Biltong is packed with B12, creatine, iron, zinc, and much more. | |

| What if Obama's mom renounced his citizenship while he was a child when they moved to Indonesia? | |
| That's a good question. | |
| I cannot pretend to know the answer to that. | |
| Hold on just one second. | |
| If you renounce your citizenship and then reinstate it, if you renounce your citizenship, then reinstate it, can you become president? | |
| Let's see what Grok has to say about this. | |
| It's going to give me the disclaimer that it's not legal advice. | |
| Whether someone who renounces their citizenship and later reinstates it can become president hinges on the U.S. constitutional eligibility. | |
| Thank you. | |
| So are they still a natural-born citizen? | |
| If someone is a natural-born citizen, renounces their citizenship, and then has it reinstated, their eligibility to become president depends on how the law interprets their restored status. | |
| Okay, so no direct precedent exists. | |
| In short... | |
| If reinstatement legally restores the original natural-born status without reclassifying it as naturalization, the person could theoretically be eligible. | |
| Interesting. Okay. | |
| Glad we got a little grok law, people. | |
| What else? | |
| There was something else I wanted to bring about someone crying. | |
| Ah, forget it. | |
| I won't. | |
| Yeah. We're going to talk about... | |
| Maybe we'll save this one for... | |
| I'll save this one for Locals afterwards. | |
| About No Lie with BTC. | |
| We'll do it on Locals. | |
| A nice exclusive for those who are here on Rumble to come on over to Locals. | |
| It is the No Supporter, so it's just standard members. | |
| Locals, come on over because I'm going to lay in to Brian Taylor Cohen and another guy because they lie. | |
| Unless I actually announce this on the... | |
| Let me see something here. | |
| Ugh, I announced it on the title. | |
| I can't be that way. | |
| I'm going to do it right here. | |
| Okay, and then I'll do a short video from the car later on. | |
| No lie with BTC. | |
| Brian Taylor Cohen. | |
| He's the biggest liar on Twitter. | |
| Like, Elon should take away his checkmark for a lie in his title. | |
| It's actually amazing. | |
| The news of the day yesterday, there was this guy, this politician, I forget who he was, called Elon Musk a dick. | |
| Okay, it's an amazing thing. | |
| They can call Elon Musk Trump, you know, call Elon Musk a dick, call Trump a mother effer. | |
| That's fine. | |
| When Trump... | |
| It's unpresidential. | |
| When he mean tweets, it's unpresidential. | |
| Look at this. | |
| I'll show you the... | |
| Yeah, well, you can't read it yet because it's too small. | |
| But look at this. | |
| Now you can't read it because it's not fitting the screen properly. | |
| No lie with Brian Taylor Cohen. | |
| No lie with BTC. | |
| It says, A letter sent to him by Trump's Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk. | |
| Oh, that's interesting. | |
| You read that, and you're like, holy shit. | |
| How can Trump threaten to prosecute somebody for criticizing Elon Musk? | |
| It's terrible. | |
| It's terrible. | |
| It's also a lie. | |
| A godforsaken, gosh darn lie. | |
| And I had to call him out on it. | |
| I read to read the actual document, and if you read it, it's kind of amazing. | |
| It's coming from Edward Martin. | |
| Who is that? | |
| U.S. Department of Justice, United States Attorney, District of Columbia, Robert Garcia. | |
| Dear Rep. | |
| Garcia, February 17th, it's a few days ago. | |
| As United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, I received requests for information and clarification. | |
| I take these requests seriously and act on them with letters like this one you are receiving. | |
| At this time, I respectfully request that you clarify your comments from February 12, 2025. | |
| During a live stream interview with CNN, when asked how Democrats can stop Elon Musk, you spoke clearly, quote, what the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. | |
| This is an actual fight for democracy. | |
| This sounds to me like a threat to Mr. Musk, an appointed representative of Donald Trump, who you call a dick. | |
| And government staff who work for him. | |
| Their concerns have led to this inquiry. | |
| We take threats against the public very seriously. | |
| I look forward to your cooperation with my letter of inquiry request. | |
| Thank you in advance for your assistance. | |
| Please respond by February 24, yada, yada, yada. | |
| Actual weapons. | |
| Bear in mind, he said, no lie with BTZ, he said, it was just criticism. | |
| Bring actual weapons to this. | |
| So I go, and there's people on the internet, and I'm not putting anyone on blast for no particular reason, but it's interesting to see how people think about this. | |
| Someone who's coming to his defense said, this guy named Jeffrey Roosh, he says, Dear Mr. Martin, the context of this bar fight is clearly metaphorical. | |
| and thus any reference to weapons falls squarely within that metaphor. | |
| While calling Musk a dick raises no wisp of a threat, I stand by that assessment. | |
| I trust this provides the clarity of thought. | |
| So funny. | |
| It's a metaphor. | |
| It's a metaphor. | |
| Why did you leave out the word actual weapons in the context of this purportedly metaphorical bar fight? | |
| Do people often bring actual weapons to metaphorical fights? | |
| This is kind of an important word that changes your theory of the case, no? | |
| Character limits is why the person didn't use the word actually, and then I just have to... | |
| You didn't include the word that changes the plausibility of your interpretation because of character limits. | |
| Bullshit! It's an amazing thing. | |
| When they accuse Trump of being literal, I can shoot someone on the street. | |
| They want you to believe that using the word actual weapons to a metaphorical bar fight is not actually what it actually sounds like when the word actually is used twice in that actual statement. | |
| They are promoters of violence. | |
| They are the ones who whip people up into a violent frenzy while accusing their adversaries of doing that. | |
| When they looked at Trump and said, when he said fight like hell, it meant insurrection. | |
| Peacefully and patriotically is what Trump said. | |
| When they say fight like hell, get in their faces, harass them, fight, fight, fight, bring actual weapons to this bar fight. | |
| No, no. | |
| It's just a metaphor. | |
| It's actually just a metaphor. | |
| Makes total sense. | |
| And if you believe that, I have got a bridge to sell you, people. | |
| All right, it's 1.41. | |
| I've got to hit the road sooner than later. | |
| Let me see if there's anything else to this. | |

| I haven't been... | |
| Hold on a second. | |
| Now that the guy says that, hold on just one second. | |
| Did he have a blue checkmark? | |
| Let me go satisfy my own neuroses. | |
| If he had a blue checkmark, he doesn't have character limits. | |
| Let me just go back here now that I say that. | |
| I don't know if he had a... | |
| I'm seeing a lot of my own tweets in here. | |
| This is cray-cray. | |
| All right, here we go. | |
| Okay. I'm going back here. | |
| Does it matter? | |
| I don't really think anybody's going to care about it. | |
| Block, it's up here. | |
| I just want to see. | |
| Threatening. Okay, here we go. | |
| Hey, look. | |
| No lie. | |
| Why did you leave out the word actual? | |
| Okay, he does not have a blue checkmark. | |
| Fine. How many characters? | |
| I'm going to go see if I... | |
| I'm bookmarking that. | |
| I want to see if we could not have actually used the word actual in the response. | |
| All right. | |
| All that to say, you know, to be a good liar, you have to have a good memory. | |
| And that's it. | |
| What was this here? | |
| Oh yeah, that was about the irony of Adam Schiff in 2019. | |
| Proposed the law. | |
| Schiff introduces legislation to prevent abusive presidential pardons. | |
| And then five years later, he gets what many believe to be an abusive and unlawful presidential pardon. | |
