	In perhaps the most bizarre twists of fate, Mark Carney appears to be more conservative than the so-called Conservative Party of Canada.
	Behold.
	We will return our immigration to sustainable levels by capping the total number of temporary workers and international students at less than 5% of Canada's population by the end of 2027.
	That's a sharp drop from the recent high of 7.3%.
	This will help ease strains on housing, on public infrastructure, and social services.
	At the same time, we will work to attract the best talent in the world to build our economy.
	We will return our immigration to sustainable levels by capping the total number of temporary workers and international students at less than 5% of Canada's population by the end of 2027.
	A pause it here.
	A reasonable proposal?
	Many would say too little, too late.
	The population by 2027 of Canada, what do we say?
	It'll be 41 million.
	So 5% of that is going to be about, let me see, 2 million, if I'm not mistaken, would be the population cap.
	Is that annually or is that at any point in time?
	Why do we have to wait until 2027 for this to happen?
	That gives another two years of destruction.
	Also, it seems to acknowledge...
	The policy hitherto has been very problematic.
	And what happens in the interim until 2027?
	Are you going to let the population explode so that less than 5% of the total population is a bigger number than it would be now if you implemented it right now?
	Pause.
	Continue.
	That's a sharp drop from the recent high of 7.3%.
	And this will help ease strains on housing, on public infrastructure, and social services.
	Hmm.
	So the promise to make housing more affordable is a promise because of the failed policy of the very regime, the very party that Mark Carney had been advising informally since 2020, and in fact resulted, if not directly, at least indirectly, from their immigration policy, open borders, and the fact that immigrants amounted to, what, 8% of the total population?
	Holy hell.
	So they're going to cut back, maybe a little too little, a little too late.
	But now they're also going to make sure that they're bringing in skilled labor, skilled immigrants, not the unskilled labor that they can exploit for farm work like they've been doing.
	At the same time, we will work to attract the best talent in the world to build our economy.
	I had this thought in the middle of the night last night.
	It'll be really hilarious if Mark Carney turns out to actually be somewhat right.
	of center and a little bit more conservative than the so-called Conservative Party.
	Remember, everybody acknowledges that the housing crisis at least was caused in part by out of control immigration.
	And the Conservative Party, or the so-called Conservative Party, because they didn't want to talk about immigration during the election.
	Because they too, like a bunch of pandering panda bears, were pandering to the immigrant vote, and they didn't want to scare anybody, as if they don't seem to somehow understand by now that even the legal immigrants of Canada, much like the legal immigrants of America...
	Don't want open borders.
	Don't want foreign students on foreign visas defaulting on their foreign visas and coming from not-so-friendly countries and having not been vetted.
	It's almost like they don't understand that legal immigrants in Canada want tight immigration.
	But even the Conservatives during the election couldn't bring themselves to say, yes, we have an immigration problem in Canada.
	Yes, we have a demographic problem in Canada because you can't open your borders to millions upon millions of foreigners who don't share our values, who don't assimilate, who don't even speak one of the two official languages of the country.
	Couldn't say it.
	The best they could say is, I mean, it's literally like the pawn shop meme.
	Best I can do is 250,000.
	Just reduce it from $500,000 to $250,000 a year.
	Holy crab apples!
	And so Mark Carney now, I dare say, it's still too little too late.
	It's still almost psychotically dissociating himself from his own party and the consequences of his own party.
	But holy hell will it be funny if he actually goes more conservative than the conservatives and then the liberals are saying, come on, Carney, we like open borders.
	Carney, don't take away our fentanyl superlabs.
	We'll see.
	We'll see.
	The bottom line is, Carney's lucky in that his base are idiots.
	I've said it before.
	I'll say it again.
	They're idiots.
	They're mean, nasty idiots.
	They don't even know why they're voting for Carney.
	And if you have any doubts, Kat Kanata underscore TM.
	Great follow on Twitter.
	When this dude was answering my questions, she says, I could hardly believe it.
	They vote liberal.
	And don't even know why.
	Let's hear it.
	Do you guys vote?
	Yeah, um...
	Carney won, so...
	Is that a good thing?
	Yeah, yeah, it's a good thing.
	Why did you vote for Carney?
	Because he makes most sense out of people, so...
	What makes the most sense to you from his policies?
	Um...
	I don't know.
	Is there one specific policy that you were really interested in of his?
	No.
	Okay, thanks for your time.
	I mean, it's unfair.
	Not everybody pays attention to politics.
	I mean, 10 years ago, I don't think I would have been quite so naive, but I wouldn't have been much more educated.
	Liberals are liberal, and if you vote for the liberals, that makes you a liberal.
	You're a good person.
	It's branding.
	It's culture.
	It's history.
	My family voted liberal.
	All vote liberal.
	At the end of the day, I think the conservative voters are more informed, and there's somewhat fewer of them.
	But there were videos of Kamala Harris where I was like, what policy do you agree with the first?
	I don't know.
	I'm really down with the state taxpayer-funded...
	Trans surgery for inmates.
	I'm really down with that one.
	Oh, lordy, lordy.
	The raid has entered the chat.
	Jeremy from The Quartering, thank you very much.
	I was watching Jeremy as I was getting prepped for my show and I was listening to them talk about P. Diddy.
	I don't think I care about the P. Diddy trial.
	I'm joking.
	There was an interesting theory about the P. Diddy trial and the...
	What's the word I'm looking for?
	Biblical amounts of baby oil that they had?
	And unused baby oil, and some people were hypothesizing that there might have been drugs in the baby oil, and that when you apply it to your skin, it gets absorbed and it causes all sorts of...
	I say I'm not so interested in the Diddy trial, but we'll do an update because the Diddy trial started.
	Diddy is now in jury selection, and we're just going to do a bit of a summary just to see where the things are at with that.
	On the menu for the day, people.
	Yes, that's right.
	Biblical levels of baby oil.
	Getting their freaks on.
	It's so wild.
	We'll talk about it briefly.
	We're going to talk about the Trump pay to leave of illegal immigrants.
	You can go.
	We will actually give you money.
	And we'll give it to you when you're out.
	And we think this is going to be beneficial.
	And I dare say it's a no-brainer in that even if it works on...
	I don't even know what would be an optimistic amount.
	5%, 10% of illegal immigrants?
	Yesterday we were talking about it with Barnes.
	Barnes and I are not down necessarily with revoking the green card of that woman from Colombia who wrote the op-ed.
	I say, if you're going to take drastic actions like that, you better have damn good examples, otherwise you risk...
	It's creating the opposite effect of what you're trying to do in terms of public sentiment.
	In terms of public fear, when you just come in and take a bull to the China shop and you say, even if what I'm doing is wrong, the courts will figure it out and mea culpa later on.
	But in the meantime, people are going to get the message.
	If the goal is to send a message, the message has been received.
	Illegal border crossing down 94% in the first 100 days.
	I think it was down 94% in the first week.
	When Trump came in and has gone biblical, nuclear, medieval, on the violent criminal illegals and set the standard, and now he says, this is what's going to happen if the state gets involved, if the prosecution gets involved, but you can go on your own and we'll actually give you money.
	It's genius.
	And because, you know, we want to talk about the more unpopular stuff, we're going to talk about...
	A recent development in the Middle East.
	Because the Middle East is always what everyone loves talking about.
	It's the truly unifying discourse of our time.
	I think we might just start off with it so that we can actually just get the ugliness out of the way.
	The breaking news of the day.
	First of all, everything is breaking on Fox News.
	I don't understand.
	They keep using that word.
	I do not think it means what they think it means.
	Breaking!
	Israel approves plan to capture all of Gaza.
	I'm going to get hate from everybody, from the Zionists, from my friends and family.
	You've got to unconditionally support everything Israel does, because if they go, then so do you.
	And they may be right, but it doesn't mean I'm going to suspend disbelief and compromise critical thought.
	From day one, after October 7, when the world was in shock, and all that I wanted to know was how.
	And we are now, I don't know, going to be two years later.
	We still don't know how.
	I had Gadi Taub on, Israeli journalist, historian, very smart guy.
	And when I asked Gadi, you know, I unabashedly and without shame or embarrassment, you know, floated conspiracy theories, so-called conspiracy theories that, you know, like some people believe 9-11 was a leahop, let it happen on purpose or a made it happen on purpose, you know, a horrible Destructive attack is imminent.
	You don't know how horrible, how destructive, but you know it's imminent.
	And out of the ashes of the World Trade Centers, you got the Patriot Act and you got the world in which we live, constant surveillance.
	Bad for the people, good for the government.
	And Building 7 destroyed, despite everything not having hit it.
	And what was in that building, we talked about that last week.
	From day one, how the hell could this have happened at such a scale, for such a duration of time, given Israel's border that can detect a squirrel, iron dome that can pick off missiles, human intelligence second to none?
	How the hell did it happen?
	How the hell did it go on for so long before Israeli intervention?
	And don't you think those questions need to be answered before...
	The very same administration that was at the helm of this catastrophic failure decides the reprisal response.
	And I got called names, lots of them, and okay, that doesn't mean the question is wrong, and that's not an answer.
	From day one, I said people are going to view this, if you want to be conspiratorial, as a Lehop Mehop, so that it can justify expansion into the occupied territories.
	And then people said to me, and Gadi Taub said the same thing, anybody who thinks that any government, or the Israeli government in particular, would allow such an atrocity to happen so they could expand their borders, you know, is grotesque.
	And you don't have to agree with something in order to steelman the argument.
	The steelman retort to that is, governments are grotesque.
	Governments have done the most grotesque things throughout the history of government.
	All governments are relatively grotesque, and to assume that one government is somehow less grotesque than other governments is a bit naive.
	Is it not grotesque that the American government tested on black Americans in the Tuskegee experiments for decades, either giving them syphilis or not treating their syphilis?
	Is that not grotesque?
	I mean, is it not grotesque that the Japanese government was performing vivisections on Chinese soldiers?
	I mean, was the rape of Nanking not grotesque?
	Residential schools in Canada, was that not grotesque?
	The mass human experimentation that was the COVID jab on the populations of the world, was that not grotesque?
	So grotesque as it might be is not an answer for impossibility.
	It would be grotesque if a government allowed or facilitated.
	Or didn't intervene when it could have, when it had good intelligence that planes or terrorists were about to fly planes into the World Trade Centers and kill thousands of people.
	It would be grotesque.
	That's not a response, especially given how grotesque governments have been throughout their history.
	So, when I asked Gadid Taub and I said, what about the conspiracy theory that the right, Netanyahu, whether or not they knew it would be this horrific, says, We know that we have infrastructure weaknesses.
	We know that we've got political turmoil in the country.
	We know we've got people resigning from their posts.
	We know that we have a security weakness because we were on a 60 Minutes interview three weeks before the October 7 attacks.
	And the questioner, I think it was Leslie Stahl, was saying, you have weaknesses at the border because of political turmoil.
	What happens?
	To which one of the answers was, Encryptus, if you can pull up this tweet, I put it out at the time.
	One of the answers from the guy was, What is the price of democracy?
	Do we have to negotiate with the people who are walking off their security positions out of political protest?
	And he says, what is the cost of democracy?
	Do they get to tell us what we can do?
	That was his response to the 60 Minutes question that you have security issues right now because of your political turmoil.
	They knew there were...
	Security issues.
	Three weeks before the attack.
	The attack happens.
	Inexplicable, inexcusable.
	The attack lasts for hours.
	Inexplicable, inexcusable.
	And when I asked Gaditab, how could it have gone on for 12, up to 24 hours, according to some reports, before Israeli intelligence or military intervened?
	And he says, honestly, I don't have a good answer.
	All right.
	But that's going to be the government that's going to determine the appropriate response after its most cataclysmic failure.
	And so some people said, you know, it could be a right-wing Lee Hop Me Hop to justify further expansion into occupied territories.
	Gaddy Taub floated a very interesting theory that I didn't really fully consider.
	It could have been an anti-Netanyahu conspiracy.
	He says, you know, on the other side, or on the conservative side, some people say this was the equivalent of Trump derangement syndrome on steroids.
	People hate Netanyahu so much that some on the right posit that Mossad, which hates Netanyahu, Turned a blind eye so that this would happen, so that they could then blame it on Netanyahu and oust him from power.
	So everybody entertains, to some extent, some of these alternative theories.
	And offensive and grotesque as they may be, that's not a response.
	That is a long-winded intro into what I wanted to show first, which was, this is the breaking news of the day, according to Fox News.
	Israel approves plan to capture all of Gaza.
	I'm sure it'll be temporary, and afterwards the land will be returned.
	To the Palestinians, it won't.
	And I'll say this as neutral analysis, not fence-sitting analysis.
	I can steel man both sides of this equation.
	On the one side, you're going to have that, what's her name?
	Kyle Kalinske's wife.
	What's her name?
	Crystal Ball.
	You'll have the crystal balls of the world saying this is grotesque.
	This was the plan all along.
	This is inhumane.
	They starve them out.
	They bomb them out.
	They kill innocent civilians.
	And now they're not going to give back the territory.
	They're going to expand either Israeli territory or a buffer zone.
	Those Palestinians that have been displaced are never going to go back.
	This is genocide under the definition of 1940-whatever, which seems to include displacement.
	They'll say it's genocide.
	The flipside steelman argument, and we can take the Ben Shapiros of the world, are going to say, this is what happens when terrorists hide among civilians.
	There is no alternative but to create a buffer zone because...
	When you give them the land and you withdraw, all that they end up doing is using the cement you're giving them to build schools, to build tunnels.
	They end up stripping whatever resources you give them to create bombs, etc.
	They hide among civilians specifically so that civilian casualties are high.
	This is the only way to eradicate Hamas.
	We're going to go in, displace them, kill every last one of Hamas.
	And create a demilitarized zone so that Israel can live in peace because quite clearly you can't have contiguous borders because things like October 7 happened.
	Those are the two steel man arguments.
	You pick whichever one you think is more logical, more reasonable.
	That is the long-winded intro to the breaking news.
	And Israel approving a plan to capture all of Gaza.
	The Associated Press says the IDF is tapping tens of thousands of reserves in order to do so.
	Meanwhile, the Jewish state is promising a stern response to yesterday's missile attack from Yemen on the port near Tel Aviv.
	General Jack Keane is with us now.
	And they...
	We were just talking in the break.
	There's always something going on in the world.
	But in this part of the world, Israel continues to fight on multiple fronts.
	They still have hostages that they're trying to deal with.
	Capturing Gaza in the midst of all of this with the Houthis attacking their airport.
	How do you see it, sir?
	By the way, not for nothing.
	This is on the eve of Trump talking about negotiations, sitting down to talk with Iran.
	And again...
	We talked about it last night, and I can steel-man both sides of this ideological debate.
	The only question is, people want to know personally where I stand on this so that they can either love me or hate me.
	And the reality is, I have always been conflicted on this.
	Some might naively say, two-state solution, and if you can't have a mutual two-state solution, you can have an unimposed two-state solution.
	build a freaking wall and leave their territory to them.
	Then people are going to say, well, they don't have natural resources.
	Israel is tapping their water.
	They don't have an economy.
	You can't do that.
	It's not plausible.
	So you have to let them come in and work so they can bring money back to their families and they can...
	It's a conundrum, but to be noted that this is occurring the day after, two days after.
	The breaking news is that this occurs two days after Trump says we're going to sit down and talk with Iran and people lambasting Trump for saying How dare he even sit down to negotiate, not even to negotiate, to talk without, before even sitting down to talk, setting certain conditions?
	I'm not playing the whole thing, so don't worry, but I'll just play a few more seconds.
	Yeah, well, what's really taking place here, certainly, is General Zemir came in on March the 5th, and he presented a new plan to the Prime Minister.
	Credit the previous chief of the Israeli Defense Forces for killing...
	You know, somewhere in the neighborhood of two-thirds, 75 percent of the Hamas fighters.
	But there's still several thousand left.
	And they did that in the past by conducting raids and then moving on to another area where there are Hamas fighters.
	General Zemir's plan is to take territory and then kill the Hamas or capture them in that territory and depose them from any future ability.
	To have political control of Gaza.
	That's the end state.
	They recognize full well, if they're not able to do that, it'd be impossible for them to leave Gaza and turn it over to some international force that would be willing to provide security for a new Palestinian-like government.
	All of that, obviously, is still circumspect and no decisions have been made.
	But from a military perspective, what is happening here is to finish off Hamas once and for all so they cannot have any political ability to control Gaza in the future.
	Just put on pause and we'll stop.
	Who fills in for Hamas?
	It'll be one terrorist group after another.
	That will take control of the occupied territories.
	PLO, Hamas.
	It's been going on forever, by the way.
	And this happened in 2001, and I remember it.
	And it's the same cycle over and over again.
	I want to find my tweet from when October 7th happened, and then the 60 Minutes video.
	Let me see if I can find this within a few seconds.
	From October 7th?
	It was October 7th, October 8th.
	It was a 60 Minutes interview where Netanyahu was on there acknowledging the security weaknesses as a result of the political turmoil.
	And it was give or take...
	My bad.
	I thought you were looking for the one from Gadi Taub.
	No, no, no.
	This is the one that had the clip from the 60 Minutes interview where they talked about the security breach.
	Security.
	Let's just see if I can find it.
	I won't be able to find it.
	If we find it, we'll get to it.
	That's what's going on in the Middle East.
	More stuff to look forward to.
	More people saying this was the plan all along.
	Other people saying this had to be done all along.
	It's something along the lines of the Celebration Parallax.
	Although I think that's not the right term for it anymore, the paradox parallax.
	It's not happening, but it's necessary to be done because there's no other solution.
	And if you had said it from the beginning, well, then you would have lost public support as if you ever had public support for this from day one in any event.
	So...
	Oh, yoy, yoy, yoy, yoy.
	And there was...
	It's an old proverb.
	It's actually an old Jewish proverb.
	Two people are fighting in a town.
	They go to the village elder or the village rabbi, and they say, one guy tells the rabbi the story and says, what's going on, why they're fighting?
	And the rabbi says to the guy, you're right.
	But the other guy tells his side of the story.
	He says, this is why we're fighting?
	And then the rabbi says to him, you're right also.
	And then a third person comes in and says, well, they both can't be right.
	And the rabbi says, well, you're right also.
	And that is the story of what's coming out of the Middle East.
	How does it actually dovetail into something a little bit more, I say, optimistic and not optimistic because now you can go boycott Israel if you wanted to.
	You should be able to boycott whoever the hell you want.
	And I had to look into this one because, again, details matter.
	And the internet is not made for superficiality, but sometimes people's understanding of things before they take a position on it is superficial.
	Superficiality is good for things like beauty.
	But guess what?
	Beauty fades.
	Ignorance is forever.
	That had nothing to do with anything of the intro.
	So Marjorie Taylor Greene yesterday puts out a tweet talking about House Resolution 6...
	It was not as chronological.
	678?
	No, that would be 678.
	It was 687.
	Or 867 or 876.
	It had the letters 6 in the numbers 6, 8, and 7. And I think it was 6, 8. Whatever.
	I'll get to it in a second because I've got it.
	Oh, it's right there.
	867.
	Because I'm an idiot.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene says, I will be voting no.
	It is my job to defend Americans' rights to buy or boycott whomever they choose without the government harshly fining them or imprisoning them.
	But what I don't understand is why we are voting on a bill on behalf of other countries and not the president's executive orders that are for our country.
	And then Marjorie Taylor Greene includes a graphic which reads as follows.
	The House will vote Monday on HR, which is House Resolution 867, the IGO, it's International Governmental Organization, Anti-Boycott Act, sponsored by Rep.
	Mike Lawler.
	Bullet one, fines up to $1 million.
	Bullet two, prison sentences up to 12 years.
	Summarizing it, for Americans participating in boycotts of Israel or its settlements, if these boycotts are endorsed by international bodies like the UN or the EU, which should be, the EU, should be called the ESU, the European Soviet Union.
	And I look at the graphic, I was like, okay, I want to know more about this.
	You go and read the replies and people are saying, no, this doesn't apply to individuals.
	Other people are saying, well, it's Marjorie Taylor Greene, so it's got to be a lie of a graph.
	And first of all, I don't entertain that.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene has actually been mildly good, actually, when it comes to information.
	The whole lie that they attributed, the smear that they attributed to Marjorie Taylor Greene about her having talked about Jewish space lasers.
	I broke this down a number of times.
	I'm not going to do it again.
	She never used the word Jewish in her Facebook post where she was talking about directed energy, which is a thing.
	Never use the word Jewish space lasers, but apparently, according to people who only see identity politics, when you talk about someone who happens to be Jewish, congratulations, the anti-Semites are the ones who say, Jew.
	It's like Borat go off in their head.
	Oh, you're talking about someone who happens to be Jewish?
	You must be talking about them because they're Jewish.
	You know who thinks like that?
	I won't say anti-Semites, but people who operate on the basis of identity politics.
	She never said Jewish space lasers.
	What she said was talking about directed energy, talking about who has roles in which companies, and she wasn't wrong.
	What she said was talking about who has roles in which companies, and she was wrong.
	But, so she puts out that graph.
	People say she's a liar, you can't trust the editor.
	I want to make sure.
	The bill, now people are saying also, by the way, that it's not a new law.
	House Resolution 867 is not a new law.
	It just amends a law from 2018.
	All right.
	Now, here's the spoiler.
	Everyone's right.
	Except the people who said this doesn't apply to individuals.
	They're not right.
	H.R. 867 is a bill to amend a 2018 law, which itself is an amendment to, what was that, the 1979 law?
	An old law.
	But let's just go.
	You go to House Resolution, and you've got to see what it says.
	This just always takes a little bit of time, but it's worth the effort.
	This bill expands an existing anti-boycott law to include certain boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations, IGOs.
	Current law prohibits various actions by U.S. persons, individuals, or entities in relation to boycotts imposed by foreign governments on a country which is friendly to the United States, and that is not itself...
	The object of a U.S. boycott.
	This bill applies to those prohibitions to similar boycotts imposed by IGOs.
	Prohibited actions include, one, refusing to do...
	Remember, by the way, U.S. persons, individuals, or entities refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott.
	Two, refusing to employ any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or nation.
	By the way, it seems that you already have laws against that, that throwing that in there so that you can then cloak this House resolution and say, oh, we're just doing this to protect people on the basis of race, religion, sex, and international.
	I think you already have laws that do that.
	More laws, less justice, Cicero, Tilius, or whoever the hell it was.
	And three, furnishing information about whether someone is associated with travel or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country.
	The bill also requires the president to annually submit to Congress and make available to the public a report describing these boycotts and listing the foreign countries and international So that's what it does.
	It applies to individuals who might be working with foreign IGOs.
	That are organizing boycotts against specific countries, but only countries that are friendly to America.
	What if I wanted to participate?
	Not I personally.
	I wouldn't do that because I've got to make sure that you abide by the laws of land when you're on a visa.
	What if I wanted to, just because I'm angry with Canada, and there was something of a move to boycott Canada maple syrup?
	The irony about all of this, by the way, the irony about all of this is that Canada was literally moving to boycott American products.
	Travel to America because of the terrorists.
	Now you got Mark Carney today meeting with Donald Trump.
	I don't know what happened with that meeting.
	So the reality is Marjorie Taylor Greene's graphic is accurate.
	It is an amendment to an existing law.
	And then the question you should be asking yourself as you read that, oh, this is just an amendment to an existing law.
	Why the hell does that law exist in the first place?
	I shared with our locals community.
	It was a great video that A member of the community shared with me, I said everybody has to watch this, talking about the incremental scope creep of government tyranny.
	Oh, it's not a new law, guys.
	It's just an amendment to an existing law, so shut up and take it.
	Why the hell does that existing law exist in the first place?
	Anti-Boycott Act of 2018.
	Congress declares it is the policy of the United States to oppose restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by any foreign country against other countries friendly to the United States.
	To encourage and in specific cases require U.S. statespersons engaged in the export of goods or technology or other information to refuse to take actions including furnishing information or entering into or implementing agreements which have the effect of furthering or supporting the restrictive trades practices or boycotts.
	We said as a joke.
	Or I said as a joke in my tweet response to this, you know, it starts off by prohibiting individuals from partaking, participating in boycotts.
	How long until they start forcing you to buy the products from that country?
	We're not far off with the way the law is even worded for those who took the time to go look at it.
	To encourage and in some cases require United States persons engaged in the export of goods or technology or other information to refuse to take actions, including furnishing information or entering into or implementing agreements which have the effect of furthering or supporting the restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by any foreign country against a country friendly to the United States.
	We're not that far off!
	Why the hell does this law exist in the first place?
	It's quite stunning.
	But the law exists now, so let us amend it and further.
	Curtail your rights and further curtail your freedom to boycott whoever the hell you want with whoever the hell you want if they're not breaking the law.
	Well, of course, oh, now they are breaking the law because we may be illegal to boycott countries that are friendly to us.
	Oh.
	Ah.
	So that's what's going on with the boycott bill.
	The news of the day, however, is that apparently, according to Thomas Massey, The bill has been pulled and they're not voting on it for today, but the 2018 law still exists.
	It's still on the books.
	So, you know, no harm, no foul.
	You got what you...
	We heard you, MAGA.
	We pulled the amendment that would have increased the penalties and increased the jail time.
	But the law still exists.
	I don't know how they've implemented that or how they've enforced that, but...
	That's it.
	All right.
	Before we move on, did I forget anything about the House bill?
	It's a little bit of good news, by the way.
	There was some pushback, and then people were going to say, Viva, you have to support Israel in all that they do.
	To which I respond, critique doesn't necessarily imply lack of support.
	People were saying to me, Viva, you've got to support Pierre Poilievre as he was tanking in the election.
	I was like, you idiots.
	First of all, let's just assume that I'm not trying to tear down Pierre Poilievre, that I'm trying to build him up.
	I will criticize him for that very same purpose.
	You think criticism is always about tearing down?
	Sometimes you criticize the people you love to make them better people.
	Sometimes you criticize the political parties you love.
	I don't love the conservatives at all.
	I'm trying to make them a better party.
	Sometimes you criticize countries that people will assume you have to have an uncompromising, unquestioned loyalty to because you're Jewish and it's a Jewish state.
	It's an amazing thing.
	And it drives me nuts.
	Like, where do we stop fragmenting the identity politics?
	All right, Viva, you're Jewish.
	You should support unquestionably everything Israel does.
	All right.
	Including mass experimentation on the 6 million people who live there with the COVID jab?
	Should I support that too?
	Oh, if I criticize that, is that anti-Semitic?
	Oh, but why Israel?
	Like, where do you make that?
	Oh, because you're Jewish and Israel's a Jewish state.
	All right.
	I'm Canadian.
	Do I need to support everything that Canada does?
	Am I not free to tear down Canada without being called an anti-Canadite?
	I'm white.
	Am I free to criticize the conduct of people who happen to be white?
	I mean, when you start breaking things down into this ridiculous identity politics tribalism where you have to be loyal to the tribe at all costs and you can't question it, it's stupid.
	But even if that's what you think, Who the hell is to say that my criticism is not intended to make it a better, more fruitful political party and country?
	I would dare say that that's exactly what I'm trying to do.
	Viva, be careful.
	Oh, geez.
	Yes, I'm going to get the call.
	All right, that's what's going on in the news, people.
	Cultivated Mind says the people in power will never let a good tragedy go unexploited.
	That is Cultivated Mind, who makes wonderful dog treat products.
	Cultivated Mind, thank you.
	King Z. Oliver is here.
	Welcome, King Z Oliver.
	I think that is...
	I can't think of a four-letter word that's not the F word.
	Find you, Kyle.
	Thank you.
	Kyle Kalinsky, that's King Z Oliver.
	Anyway, so that's what's going on there.
	We're going to get into some good news in a second.
	Palate cleanse.
	Let's go see what's going on in our vivabarneslaw.locals.com community.
	Now, speaking of palate cleanse, are you all ready to have to wash your eyeballs?
	We've got the best memes in our above-average community at vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	E. Gash.
	Almost didn't recognize myself in this late-night selfie.
	Like, dang, who is this girly pop?
	My tattoo is nowhere near.
	I got a much better...
	I don't have a tattoo, by the way.
	So this is what our Locals community does.
	I don't know who did this one.
	I think it was probably Finboy Slick.
	If it happens, people.
	The only problem with this guy, he's got a much thicker beard than me, which is already kind of emasculating, but enjoy the nausea, people.
	That was it.
	Let me see here.
	M. Sidloid is catching up.
	Tab has answered your question about October 7 failure in other fora.
	Gaza fell under the Shabak, not the Mossad.
	Shabak relied too much.
	This is true, M. Sidloid, but go and look at it.
	I said that's one thing in terms of how the...
	Penetration occurred in the first place.
	It's not an excuse for how it took 12 plus hours to respond.
	And when I say, you know, like Israel's only six hours to drive across, how does it take 12 plus hours to intervene?
	And he said, honestly, I have no good answer for that.
	But by the way, even, and I appreciate that that's the answer that he gave.
	That's not an answer.
	Oh, sorry, we were just too high tech to stop the low tech.
	You're fired.
	Okay, you're out.
	Thanks.
	That's an explanation as to criminal negligence.
	You're out.
	Get a new administration and clean house and then determine the proper response.
	All right.
	Now we're going to have a bit of a palate cleanse.
	And that palate cleanse is going to be...
	John Fetterman on an airplane.
	I was going to start off with this one, but the audio, I think, is going to be sufficiently bad that if I didn't give it a bit of an advanced warning...
	People wouldn't know what's going on.
	Just a palate cleanse before we get into the next subject, which is the subject of the day, the pay to leave.
	Not pay to play.
	Pay to get the hell out of the country.
	It's good on every front we're going to get to in a second.
	This is Nick Sartor with the tweet, WTF, which stands for What the Fudge, or Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
	Senator John Fetterman was caught on video blocking his flight to Pittsburgh from taking off because he wanted to argue with the pilot about having to...
	Wear a seatbelt.
	Is he drunk or just an entitled slob?
	Quote, rules for thee but not for me are the words Democrats live by.
	Is your seatbelt on?
	Yes, it is.
	Okay, it needs to be visible for the crew at all times.
	That's not an us thing.
	That's a federal regulation.
	It's okay, but it just has to be visible to the crew at all times.
	It's a federal regulation, so if your seatbelt's on, it just has to be visible.
	but right now it's not visible.
	We have an extender if you'd like that.
	It'll make it bigger so it can go outside of your sweatshirt.
	You see, there's a bit of an issue where you've got to be a little bit sensitive to maybe he's...
	So if you want to go to Pittsburgh, it's simple.
	You have to follow our instructions.
	We're going to ask you to get off the air.
	We're not asking much.
	We'll let that happen.
	Like all that needs, we need to be able to see your seatbelt at all.
	Okay, well it's a federal regulation, so if I don't make you do it, then I get in trouble.
	And I don't want to get in trouble because I like my job.
	I don't want to get in trouble.
	Is it first class?
	I don't think it's first class.
	Not that I care.
	But John Fetterman, no wait, that is first class.
	It's quite astonishing.
	It's the political elite and the political class.
	Who literally think that we, the plebs, have to live by their rules while they don't have to live by their own rules.
	But that's John Fetterman.
	All right, now, back on to the main thing of the day, by the way.
	The pay to leave.
	So the new policy that Trump is discussing, floating, is that Donald Trump will pay $1,000 to illegal immigrants to leave the country.
	And some people are saying this is an outrage.
	You know, the law is the law.
	You don't pay the criminals and reward them for their criminality.
	This is reported in the Post-Millennial.
	At least I picked this one because I like them.
	Who wrote this one?
	Robert Wackerel Clues from Montreal.
	Post-Millennial Trump admin to pay illegal immigrants $1,000 cover flights if they self-deport.
	Quoting the president, if you are here illegally, Self-deportation is the best, safest, and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest.
	Department of Homeland Security will announce on Monday that it will begin paying for commercial flights for self-deporting illegal aliens from the United States.
	They will also pay the aliens $1,000 once they are confirmed to have left the country, according to Fox News.
	Now, there are so many reasons why this is a great idea.
	The first one, I analogized it to, once upon a time, I made this mistake, and I'll never make this mistake again, where I said, you know, I always assumed it's cheaper to execute a convicted murderer or a convicted criminal than it is to keep them in prison for life.
	And someone said, no, Viva, actually.
	You know, one of the arguments, I should say, in support of the death penalty is that it would be intuitively cheaper, you think, to kill somebody, to execute them, than to house them.
	in a prison for the rest of their lives, which could be, I don't know, depending on the age, 20 to 60 years.
	And others said, actually, Viva, it's not.
	It's cheaper to incarcerate someone for the rest of their lives.
	There's an annual cap to that.
	But when you put someone on death row, the costs of litigating, the costs of all things included, it's actually cheaper not to execute.
	So if you want to support the death penalty, that's not your best argument.
	The argument here is going to be it's going to be cheaper to do it this way.
	Than the other way.
	And then the question is, I don't think people know just how cheap.
	And I'm not sure that this article mentions a factor also to consider.
	Illegal aliens, or even legal aliens, but illegal aliens in this context, who earn money and then send money to families in countries of origin, that has an immense cost.
	I don't know if they're going to mention here, but let's just talk about this.
	DHS says that it will save taxpayers 70%, as it currently costs DHS, on average, $17,000 to arrest, detain, and deport someone from the U.S., while paying for self-removal flights and the stipend is projected to cost just $4,500, will be safe for ICE and preserve their resources, per Fox News Bill Malugan.
	Not just that, safer.
	They won't tangentially catch other people who they may not, even if you're illegal, you might not want to...
	Be responsible for other illegals getting deported.
	And to the extent that they offer you the possibility of coming back legally if you self-deport, you then preserve your own rights if you do, in fact, want to come back at a later date following the rules, which are lengthy and costly.
	And I can tell you this from experience.
	So the Fox News tweet, in order to receive the compensation, the illegal immigrants must register on the CBP, Custom Border Patrol Home app, and file a notice to leave the U.S. In a statement to Fox, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said, if you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safety is most cost-effective.
	DHS is now offering illegal aliens financial travel assistance and a stipend.
	to return to their home country through the Custom Border Patrol Home app.
	This is the safest option for our law enforcement, aliens, and it is a 70% savings for U.S. taxpayers.
	Download the app today and self-deport.
	Nome has made repeated warnings to illegal immigrants within the United States, even going so far as to tour the Seacott El Salvador's terrorism confinement center.
	President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens.
	Leave now!
	If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison, Noam said.
	According to DHS, quote, Trump administration has arrested over 158,000 illegal aliens in 2025 alone, including more than 600 members of the Tren de Aragua, the Train of Aragua.
	Gang member designated now criminal terrorist organization.
	Under President Trump, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE is targeting the worst of the worst.
	75% of their arrests are criminal illegal aliens with convictions or pending charges.
	You know, when I was evaluating Trump's first 100 days and I felt a little bad because I gave him a C and then I listened to Barnes' analysis and I think Barnes is right that it's probably closer to an A. If only for the progress made on Curbing the influx of illegal aliens.
	158,000.
	You know how many millions Clinton and Obama deported without the slightest pushback from the court system?
	The answer is all of them.
	They've done an amazing thing.
	The program, I don't know if there's anybody out there who could reasonably, plausibly disagree with it.
	The only question is going to be projected compliance.
	What does the chat think the projected compliance with that is going to be?
	I want to see if Grok.
	He's going to be able to answer this.
	What is the expected compliance with Trump's self-deportation plan and offer of money?
	Let's see what it says.
	I'd say like a 5% would probably do it.
	Why would Grok have an answer that's acceptable?
	I don't know.
	I just want to see.
	There's no definitive data on the expected compliance with Trump's self-deportation plan, which offers financial incentives.
	Historical context and skepticism.
	Community activism.
	Economic incentives.
	Conclusion.
	Compliance.
	It's expected to be low due to distrust.
	Well, it's expected to be low because I think they think they can get away with it or take their chances.
	I would think that 5% would be a reasonable amount of compliance.
	A projected amount.
	Do you think that's too optimistic?
	I think we're somewhere in the 1% to 2% range.
	I think that's the realistic number.
	Because we've got to think about this as numbers of scale.
	There's 20 to 40 estimated million people that are illegals that would fall into this category.
	So if we're on the low side of that at 20 million, that's if we get 1% and get a couple hundred thousand.
	That's more than I would expect to actually get to, say, $1,000.
	You've got to figure a lot of these illegals are making more than that in a week here in the United States, and they're not going to come anywhere near that in their home country.
	Encryptus has convinced me.
	I reduced my 5%, was wildly ignorant and naive, and I reduce it now to 1% to 2%.
	I love over here, you've got a 68-pan that says, Dems will probably pay them $2,000 to stay.
	Well, who's going to clean Trump's toilets?
	I mean, they're going to...
	It's very interesting, actually, you say that.
	And that's exactly what they're going to do.
	We'll increase the salary that we're paying to the illegals, such as Judge Joelle Cano, who had hired an illegal, housed the illegal so that the illegal could do house chores for his wife.
	He's now currently arrested.
	10%, I think, would be way too much, Kelman.
	Let's see what Locals has to say.
	Get that one out here.
	Oh, gosh, I still saw that meme of me.
	Horrifying.
	Locals is saying...
	I'd give a much higher rate, says Really Red Ginger.
	Hyphen says, what is the airspeed of a blue-tailed tit?
	What is that?
	As the freebies dry up, it'll look more attractive, says Really Red Ginger.
	You're right.
	Svehansis says, even if it's 0.05%, if they are all concentrated in one area, it makes a big difference, then just move to another location, step by step, you flip them all.
	It's a very, very financially...
	Sound, you know, logistically sound and legally sound because it allows you to also bypass the judicial activist judges that you are seeing now, side with the illegals, side with the, what's his face, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
	For those who are in our locals community, we watched that video together.
	The video of Kilmar Abrego Garcia driving a van that had been modified to add an extra row in it.
	And he had eight people in his van and the cops who pulled him over, one of them didn't know what was going on.
	The other cop says, you understand what's going on here, right?
	Like, this guy's transporting these illegals for money.
	I mean, this is who the Democrats and the court systems are protecting.
	You get any amount of self-deportation because of the financial...
	First of all, some people might...
	Not want to be in America anymore under the Trump administration.
	We personally knew people who came to Canada, I won't mention the country, although I think I've mentioned it before, who left and went back to their home country because they no longer liked it in Canada.
	Because I think it got even too authoritarian for them.
	They'd come from an authoritarian country and they left Canada.
	So the idea that there might be some who just want to get out anyhow, and here's a thousand bucks, go back to our countries because it wasn't that bad to begin with.
	But you bypass, you save money, you avoid risk, and you bypass the judicial activism of the courts.
	And we'll see within a month or two, I'm sure they're going to come up with updated stats to see how many comply voluntarily because they will have stats for it.
	And that's that.
	That's the story of it.
	Now, there's a bunch of other stuff.
	Let me just see what I had on the backdrop here.
	I was going to pull up.
	Before we jump off of that, did you see the news about ICE going after Home Depot parking lots and raiding the Home Depot parking lots?
	I would be very skeptical of that.
	What link or video do you have to confirm that?
	Oh, so actually, today I watched Cash Jordan.
	Pretty reliable.
	But generally speaking, it's the best place to go.
	I used to be in construction.
	You want to hire day laborers, you show up at...
	Home Depot at 4, 5, 6 o 'clock in the morning, and you got a line of people ready to go.
	I am skeptical of this for a number of reasons.
	I'm skeptical of those stories.
	I'm also skeptical of the ones that say the video that was going around of the woman crying while somebody allegedly was being deported.
	I'm skeptical of all these things, but that seems particularly, I would say, not arbitrary because the logic of it makes sense.
	If they're going after criminals, I mean, I think they would not risk that.
	But send me a link if you've got one.
	This one was another...
	Oh, yeah, this one.
	I just love the way different outlets describe the same story.
	Trump administration offers undocumented 1,000 to leave the country.
	Okay, fine.
	There was an element of this that I thought was amazing.
	Oh, that's right.
	Undocumented immigrants.
	Sorry, I forgot the entire...
	Yeah, he's offering undocumented immigrants.
	Not illegal aliens.
	It drives me freaking nuts.
	The subtle editorialism, the subtle indoctrination, the subtle brainwashing that some people who don't know how to read propaganda critically get indoctrinated by and they don't even know it.
	And then the rest of the article is roughly the same.
	It's just amazing.
	President Trump has made mass deportations a key platform of his 2024 election, a priority in the first three months of office.
	But so far, the actual number of immigrants deported under the Republican administration has slightly lagged the number deported under his predecessor, Joe Biden, as fewer immigrants are now attempting to cross the border.
	Oh.
	It's a double whammy victory.
	All right.
	And I just love that.
	Yeah.
	Undocumented immigrants.
	And you know that you're dealing with a propagandist rag if that's how they do it.
	What do we got going on here?
	King of Biltong is in the house.
	Hold on, I'll bring this one up in...
	I'll bring this one up so that people can see it in crumble and we'll...
	Can I still get it if I do that?
	Boom.
	Shakalaka.
	King of Biltong.
	We just got our new order of Piri Piri and it's very, very delicious.
	King of Biltong, $25.
	Crumble Rant says, looking for some healthy snacks to add to your diet?
	Try our Biltong, almost 50%, plus it's packed with B12, creatine, iron, zinc, and much more.
	BiltongUSA.com, code VIVA for 10% off.
	All right.
	What else do we have on the backdrop here, people?
	I wanted to...
	I was going to start with...
	No, no, no.
	Okay, here.
	We're going to do a little update on Canada, then we're going to get into P. Diddy.
	We're going to do an update on Canada, then we're going to talk about P. Diddy, or at least just cover the development of the day.
	Pierre Poiliev, we all know this, lost his riding, has to now accept the seat from this guy, whose name is Damien C. Kurek, MP for Battle River Crowfoot.
	Proud Conservative, Alberta farmer.
	So, Pierre Poiliev lost his riding in Carleton, Ontario.
	Damien Kurek, who was just elected...
	He graciously offered his seat or withdrew from his seat so they're going to hold a by-election.
	And now Pierre Poiliev is going to have to run in a by-election in Battle River Crowfoot in order to win a riding that last just went 80 plus percent conservative in order to get a seat in parliament so he can be the leader of the conservatives and continue to be the so-called opposition.
	All right.
	He writes, thank you to MP D. Keurig for introducing me to his farm, his family, and team.
	People in these communities feed and power our country.
	It will be an honor to work for their support to return to Parliament, hold the government to account, and champion common sense values for Canada.
	I don't know if I'm projecting, but it seems it's not emasculating.
	This is not a question of manliness or whatever.
	It seems humiliating that he's going to...
	Pierre Poilev is going to have to move now because I believe you have to be a resident where you are.
	You have to be a resident of the riding in order to...
	How do I get this?
	I want to get this on maps.
	Many of you might not know where Crowfoot is.
	Actually, it's kind of amazing.
	I got to zoom in because when it starts, let's go like this, let's go like this, and let's go like this.
	When you start on it, it doesn't quite...
	First of all, that Bow River looks beautiful.
	By the way, you all know that the slower the river goes, the windier it gets.
	That's a slow-flowing river, one can assume.
	This is Crowfoot.
	Zoom out.
	What's this body of water right here?
	I like looking for the body of water.
	This is the Siksika Indian Reservation Reserve.
	Zooming out, zooming out.
	I'm not saying it's in the middle of nowhere.
	It's in the middle of...
	Canada.
	It's a long way from Ottawa, which is right somewhere there-ish.
	Right about there.
	That's a long way to move so that he can now run in the riding.
	And the word on the street, like I mentioned yesterday, I believe, is that the PPC, the People's Party of Canada, is going to run a candidate in that riding.
	And that is going to be one hell of a fascinating race to watch because that is going to be the true litmus test.
	As to whether or not people who are so-called Conservatives in Canada are happy with the Conservative Party.
	It will be so flipping...
	Everybody appreciates this?
	You may not appreciate it if you're not Canadian.
	The People's Party of Canada is going to run a candidate in the by-election where the now ousted from his own seat leader of the Conservative Party has to run after having been given the seat effectively by the guy who just won it.
	And the liberals, I think, are going to probably dump some money into it.
	But if the PPC gives a meaningful opposition or hypothetically splits a vote, and this is where you might have a split vote so that a liberal wins that riding, holy hell will it be political drama of the highest order.
	Like daytime drama, what are they called?
	Soap opera drama.
	It'll be flipping wild.
	And we're going to be following that closely.
	So, we'll see about that.
	That's the news coming out of Canada, so we don't have to do any more than that right now.
	Hold on a second.
	We need Brad Ball.
	I don't know who that is.
	Hold on.
	I want to say, don't let Canada become part of a greater America.
	With the Jewish star at the end.
	Don't let Canada become part of greater America.
	I don't understand that.
	Wouldn't that seat give the libs a majority?
	Right now, the libs are sitting at 169 last I checked.
	And I've got my prediction in with that because I think that it's going to be...
	It's going to be...
	There's going to be a coalition government or something along those lines.
	Now, Encryptus has sent me a video of what appears to be ICE raiding Home Depot.
	Let's watch this for a second.
	Turn the volume down.
	Okay, here we go.
	Tonight, after a group of day laborers was taken into custody during a federal raid at a Home Depot, witnesses say Border Patrol agents, both in marked and unmarked vehicles, took 15 to 20...
	So ICE is now raiding places like Home Depot looking for people in the country illegally?
	With a criminal record.
	And although this is the first such raid caught on camera, day laborers across the country are bracing themselves for what comes next.
	Because at any moment, out of nowhere, ICE agents could show up in force, causing those afraid of deportation to stay away from places like this.
	Well, I'll tell you one thing.
	He does good work because I'm intrigued and I'm going to watch the rest of that later after the show.
	TZ Burton says, I have a bunch of illegals by the Home Depot by my house.
	They have a commander directing who can hire them.
	Probably a gang member.
	I remember when I was in California a while back and I didn't understand why I saw a lineup of people.
	It was either at a gas station and my uncle explained it to me.
	This must have been, holy crap.
	My uncle who's now deceased.
	It had to have been at least 20 some odd years ago.
	I'm going to watch that afterwards in cryptos.
	Thank you.
	All right.
	Now.
	P. Diddy, people.
	Is going to trial.
	In the chat, conviction equals one, acquittal equals two.
	Or not conviction because he doesn't have to get acquitted.
	Is he going to jail or is he not going to jail?
	One, jail time.
	Two, no.
	How about option three?
	Epstein.
	I don't...
	That's bad juju to put out of the universe.
	No, because...
	That would have to be before conviction.
	That might happen also.
	So, the real encrypted says three.
	That's not...
	You don't get the vote on...
	What did I say?
	One is convicted.
	Okay, fine.
	I think it's a done deal.
	From what I understand, they are showing the video of him beating his girlfriend in the hotel thing.
	Support PBS.
	Hmm.
	Tax deduct...
	Hmm.
	I've really been meeting...
	No, sorry.
	Sean Diddy Combs' sex trafficking trials begins with jury selection.
	It's not being broadcast.
	We've gone through the indictment back in the day.
	Sean Diddy Combs, the hip-hop entrepreneur whose wildly successful career has been dotted.
	Has been dotted?
	What kind of word is that?
	Tainted?
	I can think of many other words other than dotted.
	By allegations of violence, was brought to New York Courthouse Monday to be tried on charges that he used as influence and resources of his business empire to sexually abuse women.
	I think it's a foregone conviction because I don't even know how you get past that video, which is literally him abusing a woman and the story as to how he nearly suppressed the disclosure or publication of that video.
	Jury selection was scheduled to begin in the morning.
	Potentially takes several days.
	Opening statements by the lawyers will start next week.
	Judge Arun Subramanian.
	Subramanian.
	Armenian name.
	That's interesting.
	"Started the proceedings shortly after nine by making several rulings on what experts would be allowed to testify about when they take the stand.
	I want to know more about this.
	17-page indictment.
	Charging documents.
	Mafia leader, the head of a drug gang, accused him of criminal engaging in sex trafficking, presiding over racketeering and conspiracy.
	The indictment says that with the help of people in his entourage...
	Yada, yada, yada.
	Combs engaged in a two-decade pattern of abusive behavior against women and others.
	Women were manipulated into participating in drug-fueled sexual performances with male sex workers that Combs called freak-offs.
	Prosecute.
	This is when I am so glad that I don't frequently leave the house and certainly even less frequently attend late-night events and even less often attend...
	I don't even think I've been to a club or anything.
	Oh, freak offs.
	What fucking world?
	I'm sorry.
	What world are we living in?
	Freak offs.
	To keep women in line, prosecutors say Combs used a mix of influence and violence.
	He offered to boost their entertainment careers if they did what he asked or cut them off if they didn't.
	By the way, set aside the violence, although I think even the violence is somewhat analogous.
	Who does that?
	What MO does that sound like?
	What other person does that MO sound like?
	Encrypt us if you had to take a guess.
	Epstein?
	That is...
	No.
	Oh, no, no.
	Sorry.
	Another one.
	It rhymes.
	Weinstein.
	Harvey Weinstein.
	This...
	Now I'm going to get in trouble.
	It rhymes literally, people, okay?
	Not...
	Oh, boy.
	This is like the Harvey Weinstein MO, where some people were legit saying it.
	And there's...
	Again, you don't have to agree with the argument in order to steal madness.
	Some people were saying in the entire Epstein...
	The entire Epstein sex...
	Abuse scandal that the women did it, whether or not they regretted it, the argument was that many of the women did it voluntarily.
	They knew that they were making a deal with the devil to further their career, and you don't get to regret that disgusting decision that you made to touch his schmeckle, his little peepee.
	Can you imagine what that...
	It's like the stuff out of horror movies or these awful psychological thrillers.
	What's his name?
	The porno actor who just died from senility.
	The hedgehog.
	The djinn.
	The famous porn star.
	Ron Jeremy.
	Ron Jeremy.
	Can you imagine Ron Jeremy pulling out his pee-pee and saying, now you have to pleasure me?
	This is what Harvey Weinstein did.
	And women did it.
	And then the argument was that it was sexual exploitation, abuse of power to get sexual, or in some cases, just outright rape.
	But in some cases, making a deal with the devil quite literally.
	Oh, my goodness.
	It's funny you mentioned that there are stories about Ron Jeremy doing exactly that.
	Oh, yeah, no.
	Well, Ron Jeremy, I also have no doubt, you know, he went demented before he could even stand trial.
	But I have no doubt he...
	You can't...
	Maybe I'm judging too broadly those who work in the sex industry.
	I don't think you can have ethics in porn.
	And I have no doubt that Ron Jeremy, in the era that he grew to be...
	First of all, the fact that he even grew to be a star, his nickname was The Hedgehog because he literally looked like a frickin' furry, disgusting hedgehog.
	You know they used to have Ron Jeremy exclusion contracts in porn contracts after that?
	Nobody...
	People came out and said, I will not have sex with Ron Jeremy.
	His gin, however, wasn't terrible.
	And the gin, I believe, was called the Hedgehog.
	I don't think that gin exists anymore.
	Where the hell was I?
	I got distracted.
	Yeah, this is the Harvey Weinstein MO, people.
	When he wasn't getting what he wanted, the indictment says Combs and his associates resorted to violent acts, including beating, kidnapping, arson.
	Once the indictment alleges he even dangled someone from a balcony.
	That sounds like the Michael Jackson treatment as well.
	I don't know if anybody doesn't remember Michael Jackson holding his baby over the banister.
	All right, Combs and his lawyer say he is innocent.
	Any group sex was consensual, they say.
	Can you consent when you're horribly intoxicated?
	There was no effort to coerce people into things they didn't want to do, and nothing that happened amounted to a criminal racket, they say.
	Trotz expects it to last eight weeks.
	Combs, 55. Has acknowledged one episode of violence that is likely to be featured in the trial.
	Do you know what?
	I've got an expression like, if it's happened once, it's happened more than once.
	Oh, that's the first time you ever catch me doing it?
	If you get caught once, it's happened more than once, which is my also, you know, that theory also applies to life in the universe.
	If it's happened once on Earth, it's happened somewhere else.
	That's not a very scientific theory, and I don't think that the astrophysicist...
	What's the guy with the deep voice who now believes that gender is a social construct?
	Tyson?
	Neil deGrasse Tyson, yes.
	I don't think he would agree with that.
	The Associated...
	Where am I?
	Combs, he's acknowledged one incident of violence.
	2016 security camera recorded him beating his former girlfriend.
	Yeah, because a type of person who's prone to beating a woman has only done it once.
	He was having a very bad day that day.
	Never done it before.
	Never done it again.
	It was just a one-off.
	Beating another human being.
	Beating her in the hallway.
	The Associated Press does not typically name people who they say have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, as Cassie, whose legal name is Cassandra Ventura, did.
	Combs' attorney, Mark Agnifilo, remember this name, people, has said Combs was not a perfect person.
	Thanks for stating the obvious.
	He occasionally beat his girlfriends.
	Wait until you see who...
	Who do you think Mark Agnephilo has represented?
	Spoiler, I guess you can guess.
	He's not a perfect person.
	Drug, toxic, but said all sexual activity between Combs, Cassie, and other people was consensual.
	Was it consensual when he beat her?
	Just out of curiosity.
	Consensual beatings?
	Trials the latest in the most series of problems for Combs, yada, yada, yada.
	Okay, fine.
	So the rest of that, we can get rid of that.
	Mark Agnephilo!
	Who wants to take a bet on...
	Who he's represented.
	I had to grok it just to be sure.
	Because I remember.
	Let me see where his...
	Oh, come off it.
	Did I close that window?
	Oh, for goodness sake.
	Is it up here?
	Where's my history of grok?
	He's represented Harvey Weinstein.
	But I want to get the full list of who Agnephilo has represented.
	Who has Mark Agnephilo represented?
	He's got a slew of...
	that he represents.
	And I don't judge anybody for representing people, even if they are guilty.
	Mark Agnofilo, prominent criminal defense attorney, known for representing high-profile clients in complex cases.
	Sean Diddy Combs, Luigi Mangione, Keith Rainier, for those of you who don't know, he's the NXIVM founder, Alleged criminal sex cult, but, you know, maybe there's more to that story.
	There's a lot more to that story.
	I never covered it.
	Eric Hunley, Untold Stories, they were deep into it.
	Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
	In 2011, Agnephila was part of the defense team for the former IMF director who faced sexual assault charges that were ultimately dismissed.
	Martin Shkreli.
	Agnephila defended the pharmaceutical executive known as Pharmabro in 2017, which led to a seven-year prison sentence.
	Harvey Weinstein.
	Agnephila was involved in the legal representation of the film, Of the film mogul charged with rape and other charges.
	Robert Ng.
	I don't know who that person is.
	Let me see.
	Goldman Sachs banker.
	Darren Indyke.
	That's an unfortunate last name.
	Agnes Filler, the criminal defense attorney for Indyke, who was involved in managing Jeffrey Epstein's estate.
	So you're dealing with a man who is well-versed in defending certain types of...
	And I don't judge anybody.
	Everyone is entitled to a lawyer and you do not get to boycott or file ethics complaints against those lawyers for representing ugly clients.
	That being said, success leaves clues as does perversion.
	And I do also believe you can judge a lawyer by the clients that they have and you can judge a client by the lawyer that they have.
	And that's that.
	What do we got here?
	TZ Burton in the house says, I would love to see Robin Leach narrate the Diddy case and the life of the...
	Who remembers Robert Leach?
	Lifestyles of the rich and famous...
	Oh, man.
	Roosting in our...
	He's not Australian than British.
	Was he Australian?
	No.
	He's British.
	Well, that's because my memory then does not serve me correctly.
	Roosting!
	Says, Viva, are you going to put in a big bet on the betting markets for the People's Party to win the Crowfoot by-election?
	Maxime Bernier is watching.
	The PPC didn't even come close to winning a seat.
	Shouldn't he resign?
	Well, okay, so there's two separate questions here.
	First of all, what is the market?
	Is there a market for, I don't think for the Crowfoot yet.
	I'd be really amazed if there is a market.
	Let's see.
	Just put in Crowfoot.
	Okay, so there's no market yet for it.
	Maybe there is.
	What's his name?
	Poilievre?
	Will Poilievre lose his seat?
	Those are old.
	Which Canadian party leaders will resign after this year's election?
	I'll see what the markets are.
	Should Maxime resign?
	Should he resign?
	No, it's his party.
	The Conservative Party is not Pierre Poilievre's party.
	He's merely the figurehead for the time being.
	That party goes back.
	To the beginning of Canada.
	Maxime started the PPC.
	He should resign when he thinks it's time for him to resign.
	It's literally his party.
	And that's that.
	Okay.
	People, let me go over to the chat in vivabarneslaw.locals.com and see what's going on there.
	Pierre will totally win, says JP Spooner.
	Yeah, it would be a freak, absolute wild upset.
	If there was either a split and a liberal one or a PPC candidate one.
	I'd be shocked if Maxime Bernier is going to move out to Crowfoot to do that.
	But yeah.
	Never heard of Jeremy's...
	Never heard of Jeremy's gin, says Sting17.
	Yeah, I believe it was called...
	I believe it was called The Hedgehog, if I'm not mistaken.
	Mr. Mike, Mr. Mike, over in our locals community, says, Viva, your take, CBC.
	King Charles will visit Canada, deliver throne speech to open Parliament.
	Well, what's my take on that?
	I'm still waiting for the, not the markets to resolve on the, you know, who is the government of Canada.
	I'm waiting.
	I don't know how long it's going to take.
	I know people are clamoring that the markets should resolve to a liberal minority, but they...
	Haven't yet formally announced what type of government it is.
	So I'm very curious to see how that goes.
	It's going to be absolutely fascinating to watch.
	And that's that.
	All right.
	Now, there were some more stories I had on the back here.
	These are the random ones, odds and ends of the day.
	Well, speaking of elections, did you guys see this?
	This is a Turkish opposition leader punched in the...
	Well, it's more like slapped in the face while...
	This is where like...
	We see the cursor.
	This guy right here strikes me as being like...
	He looks like the bad guy from all the Brit movies.
	The soccer hooligan in Eurotrip.
	This is his security.
	And they are not doing their job, people.
	Let me just make sure the volume is not going to blow out everybody's ears here.
	They're not doing their job.
	Quite clearly, if this guy wanted to stab this guy, he could have gotten away with doing it.
	He could have been a little bit of a knife.
	Oh, now he's doing his job.
	There you go.
	It's the illusion of safety.
	Just watch the guy in the back.
	There you go.
	Now he realized it was at that moment.
	He realized he's going to get fired.
	There you go.
	This guy's going to get a promotion.
	This is Turkey.
	Elaborate, Encryptus.
	Erdogan is a dictator.
	He has jailed every single member of his opposition.
	He has jailed journalists who talk against him.
	When they talk about Putin and that he steals elections, I would say that that might be true, but people love Putin.
	Nobody loves Erdogan.
	Erdogan rules with a fist and he jails and kills anybody who is against him.
	And those security guards are on Erdogan's payroll.
	So your theory is this is a Lee Hop and that these are not incompetent but rather corrupt letting it happen.
	One million percent.
	It's not what I think.
	This is the part of the world I live in.
	This is part of daily life.
	There is no way that Erdogan is going to lose his grip on power to someone in the opposition.
	That guy's either going to end up dead or in jail, or there's going to be some election shenanigans that you're going to see, and it's going to be clear as day, and no one will fight it because he runs the courts, he runs the police, he runs the military, and he controls it all.
	I'm going to disagree in my ignorance, and this is a very not ill-informed but superficially formed opinion, that this guy's just an incompetent buffoon and is going to get fired, and for all the reasons that you just elucidated, they can't let this guy just walk out.
	First of all, also, you know what I'm wondering now?
	Now that you say that, he might have had something on his hand that this guy's going to get poisoned with.
	I mean...
	That's actually one of Erdogan's bag of tricks is poisoning.
	Yep.
	Look at this.
	Situational awareness, dude.
	I am by no means a mixed martial artist self-defense man, but the move is always to cover your head, not your...
	This guy's covering his groin.
	Just couldn't get his hand up fast enough.
	Anyway, that's it.
	Look at this.
	It could have been worse.
	Or we'll see if it is, in fact, worse.
	Yep.
	Fired.
	That's happening in Turkey.
	And hold on.
	One more.
	I was going to start the show with this one, but...
	Okay, no.
	That was the earlier part.
	It's a sad thing where I can no longer get enjoyment out of things that once gave me enjoyment.
	Someone sent me the best playoff moment.
	In, you know, recent history.
	And I watched it, I was like, oh, meh.
	We always wanted to play for the last minute goal.
	Watch this.
	And I appreciate that it's absolute sports glory.
	And it does nothing for me because I now look at organized sports as the mass distractions that...
	And I say this without judgment.
	I know everybody, first of all, I still have my passions, like fishing.
	I love watching poker and I love watching darts.
	And I guess those are two very iffy sports, but I no I look at this with a certain degree of resentment, like this is just how people distract the masses from paying attention to the things that are really important, but I do appreciate that members of our community who do both at the same time, because you can do both at the same time.
	It's just that I would venture to say the majority of the people right here are not doing both at the same time.
	It's amazing Under 10 seconds to go The Jets with an opportunity Ehlers, fist fires, passes across the shot They've scored!
	Can you believe it?
	My goodness!
	It's kind of amazing.
	Oh, sorry, sorry.
	I don't know who these people are.
	I don't know if they're happy or sad, but they look angry.
	It's amazing.
	Who remembers Blades of Steel?
	Blades of Steel.
	Encryptus, is there any chance on Earth you know what I'm talking about?
	Of course.
	We actually watched that probably two months ago with the family.
	The kids watched it for the first time.
	No, no, not the movie.
	This is a Nintendo NES video game.
	Oh, I thought you were talking about Blades of Steel, the figure skating movie with...
	Oh, no, that was Blades of Glory.
	Is that Blades of Glory?
	Blades of Glory.
	You're talking about the Nintendo video game.
	Yeah, Blades of Steel.
	And it had this glitch in it where there was a whistle.
	It would go...
	Blades of...
	No, no, it was Blades of Glory was the movie with Will Ferrell.
	Blades of Steel.
	Oh, I have it, by the way.
	I'm going to destroy it.
	They'll promise I'm so good at it.
	There's nobody in this house that will ever be good enough to actually give me a run for the money.
	And then you get into the punching matches, and then you, like, go to the stomach or the head.
	Oh, my goodness.
	And all that to say is that's amazing.
	It's awesomeness.
	It's awesomeness what happened there, and it does nothing for me anymore because I've gotten cynical.
	I've gotten a little bit not depressed.
	I just look at it.
	Blazing Saddles is definitely something different, people.
	Okay.
	All right, and that's it.
	Now what we're going to do for the remainder of the show, let me go over to the chat and see what's going on here in Viva Barnes Law.
	Sting17 says, Viva has an expensive birthstone.
	Is that Amethyst?
	What birthstone is this?
	Why do I not even know my birthstone?
	Amethyst is February.
	What is this?
	Topaz?
	Emerald.
	Is Emerald my birthday stone?
	It's my birthday this month, people.
	I'm turning 40 freaking 6. It's funny.
	You've had about 20 different guesses at your birth date in the locals chat.
	It's been the...
	Conversation for the last 10 minutes.
	It's on the internet.
	Nothing I can do.
	It's May 23rd.
	I'm a Gemini.
	But that people can...
	If anybody believes in that stuff.
	It's going to be my birthday on May 23rd.
	I'm going to turn 46. And what I was about to say...
	Oh yes, that's right.
	I went for a bike ride today.
	First of all, everybody.
	Locals got the video in advance.
	Did I mention yesterday that I went fishing with the kid and we lost a beautiful fish?
	Yeah.
	Did you get that on camera?
	I got the loss of the fish, but not his disappointment, which I would have been reluctant to show anyhow.
	We went back this morning, people, and we actually...
	Stop it.
	That's a clown knife fish.
	We caught...
	I don't know if it was as...
	I actually do think that one was smaller than the one we hooked yesterday, but the one we hooked yesterday, we hooked on 10-pound light line.
	There was zero chance of us landing it, especially since the gators were there and it got off.
	This one we hooked on the 20-pound line, so a lot easier to manage.
	We went back this morning, and I'm like, okay, we're going to go back and give it another try because the kid was...
	I was a little bit more upset than he was.
	We freaking landed the clown knife fish.
	With like a butterfly net.
	I had a butterfly net.
	We used the button of the net to scoop up little minnows.
	And it was amazing.
	The video's in locals, but all that's safe.
	So we did that this morning.
	Then I go for a bike ride.
	On the bike ride today, I see a massive fatty gator.
	I mean, I saw so many gators, it doesn't even matter anymore.
	I saw a massive soft-shell snapping turtle either burying its eggs or looking for food.
	And I think it was burying its eggs.
	I then saw another one of those World?
	Do you want to tell me what this is?
	Let me see here.
	Yeah, this.
	This right here.
	What is this?
	Hold on.
	What is this animal?
	Let's go.
	I'll get you off the path.
	Get over here.
	What is this?
	There.
	Okay, go there.
	Enjoy it.
	Be well.
	Hold on.
	I couldn't see it.
	This.
	It's like a massive...
	It's a cricket.
	Well, but it's the size of my finger.
	It looks like a locust.
	So a locust is a cricket.
	So a locust is when they run a cricket swarm.
	In an individual one, they're a cricket.
	When they are in mass, they're locust.
	It's actually the same creature.
	Well, it was freaking massive.
	I see a gator.
	I see the snapping turtle.
	I see the locust.
	I then see a bobcat.
	And I got close to the Bobcat, but not too close because I was actually, I got so close, like, is this thing going to either maul me or does it know I'm here?
	So that's what happened today.
	Okay, who is live now that we go raid?
	I'm actually just looking through those right now.
	I've got a couple.
	So I've got a small channel here.
	Looks like Trump was right.
	The Nuren Report.
	We've got the Officer Tatum.
	I don't know if you know Officer Tatum.
	Oh no, I know Officer Tatum.
	Okay, let's do Officer Tatum.
	I want to have Officer Tatum on the channel.
	Absolutely, and he doesn't have a whole big following on Rumble, so this is probably a good way to bring him a good-sized audience.
	Oh no, this will be amazing.
	If you don't know who Officer Tatum is, I do know him and I do like him.
	Officer Tatum, I'm just going to give a description for the internet.
	Brandon Tatum, known as the Officer Tatum, is a former Tucson police officer, conservative political commentator, YouTuber, radio host, and author.
	Born 1987?
	The older you get, the younger everyone else gets around you.
	Fort Worth, Texas, he played college football.
	amazing at the University of Arizona and briefly pursued an NFL career before joining the Tucson Police Department.
	He gained prominence through viral videos in 2016, 2017, addressing social political issues, law enforcement leading him to leave policing for media.
	Okay, go rate him.
	You'll all love him.
	It's not like nobody's going to get angry because it's not going to be politically offensive to everyone who's watching now.
	Go rate him.
	Tell him who sent you.
	And ask him if he'll come on for an interview.
	Please.
	He co-founded Blexit with Candace Owens to encourage black Americans to leave the Democrat Party.
	His book, Beaten Black and Blue, details his experience as a black police officer.
	He's known for outspoken conservative views, often challenging mainstream narratives on race, policing, politics.
	Okay, that's amazing.
	All right, done.
	Do it.
	And then we'll have our locals after party.
	Everyone, do it.
	Go over there en masse.
	Raid him and let him know from where you came and ask him to come on for an interview.
	Let me make sure I'm actually...
	I know that I'm following him on Twitter, but see if he's following me.
	Tatum.
	Channing Tatum?
	No, that's not the right one.
	I know.
	Officer Tatum.
	Brandon?
	There you go, the officer.
	Yes, the Officer Tatum.
	Yeah, okay, good.
	I'm certain that I was following him.
	All right, good.
	I'm following him now, so he'll be able to DM me.
	Go, everybody.
	Do it.
	Thank you very much.
	And we're going to go to our locals after party.
	Let me see something.
	What's going on in the chat here?
	Oh, bring it on, Viva.
	Oh, this is from today.
	Hold on.
	Let me bring this up before we leave.
	And we'll see if I missed anything here.
	Cultivated Mind says, bring it on, Viva.
	I reeked Blades of Steel.
	Oh, is there any way?
	No, there's no way to...
	Have a digital way of playing other people.
	I'll show a game of...
	Maybe I'll do a quick...
	It's here.
	We can actually just turn the camera around.
	We can play live in our locals after party.
	Bloodlust.
	I can read that.
	If you are looking for a palate cleanse, hit up my channel and check out my new TFD lore series.
	I just dropped the second episode preview.
	Full episode coming soon.
	Make gaming great again.
	And that's that.
	We're good.
	Good to go.
	All right.
	Amazing.
	Viva, are you going to put in a big bet?
	Okay, I got that one.
	So now we go over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Before we leave, actually, make sure that you are subscribed.
	Notifications turned on.
	And go buy a book, Louie the Lobster, out on Amazon.
	Self-published.
	Abigail Martin, the daughter of a community member, did the illustrations.
	Amazing stuff.
	It's about a lobster.
	It's great.
	It's got a happy ending.
	Go raid Officer Tatum and I bid you all farewell.
	I will be here tomorrow.
	Oh, I'm going to be here all week, people.
	Come on.
	And vivabarneslaw.locals.com if you want to support the work that Robert Barnes and I do.
	10 bucks a month or 100 bucks a year or you can just be a member and piecemeal support through coins and whatever.
	They're literally called coins.
	Now stereotypes are going to enter the chat.
	Coin shaper.
	Viva the coin shaper.
	Sending people over to...
	He's such a grift to sending people over to his community.
	Go!
	And enjoy the day.
	And now we go to Locals.
	Peace out.
	Did you have to do the Jewish grandmother voice when you said that?
	Yes, and I had to do the hand rub too.
	Now they're going to, they'll meme the Viva.
	They always knew.
	It's Mr. Burns.
	It is funny.
	Okay, last one.
	When Mr. Burns does it, well, maybe he's Jewish because you don't have to be a Jew to be Jewish.
	Come on over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	Support the community.
	Like here.
	You know what to do.
	That is it.
	Peace out, Rumble.
