DEI Leads to DEATH! Stochastic Terrorism Becomes Real in D.C.! Canada Goes Full Agenda 2030 & MORE!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is exciting because I'm in front of a construction site.
It's home to 55 seniors.
They're going to move in early spring next year.
We're building it and Woodcreen Community Center, a very well-known, very good social service agency, is going to come and operate it.
These seniors that are going to be here This is real life, people.
This is Mayor Olivia Chow, and if you really, really want to throw up in your mouth just a little bit, go look at a picture of her.
I believe it's in the Pride Parade.
You'll want to vomit.
You don't want to see the bikini line of the mayor of any town.
Well, I shouldn't say that.
Maybe there's some mayors out there whose bikini lines you want to see if you're filthy purds.
That's Olivia Chow.
By the way, look at the backdrop as to what you see going on here.
Seniors, they're going to move in.
Seniors are going to move in to modular housing.
Yay, Canada!
Early spring next year.
By the way, it's been delayed for almost four years, but because of litigation.
We're building it, and Wheat Green Community Centre, a very well-known, very good social service agency, is going to come and operate it.
These seniors that are going to be here will get comprehensive support.
We've already seen this.
Marty from up north.
Marty up north.
And I can never hear the name Marty without instinctively thinking of Ben Affleck out of Happy Gilmore.
Marty, if you can't...
Whatever, you know who I'm talking about.
55 seniors get a new C-Can home.
Oh, sea candy means as in shipping containers.
I didn't even get that reference because I'm an idiot.
So exciting.
So exciting that after a lifetime of working and living in Canada, this is their reward.
Elbows up.
This is an actual story coming out of Canada.
And I retweeted it, and I immediately, not second-guessed, I'm like, hmm.
I read some comments, and people were saying something that I didn't think was relevant, but I figured I should look into before.
Affirmatively retweeting this story as an indication of the death pool that Canada has become, the downward spiral to Venezuela that Canada seems to be on.
Someone's like, this isn't C-Can living.
These are homeless, elderly people who are being given homes to live in now.
And I wanted to tweet, you know, distinction without a difference, sir, because...
You don't ask the stupid questions that are the obvious questions.
This is the article from the CBC.
And by the way, modular housing across Canada is now on the uptick.
You see now mayors of cities, small town and big town alike saying, hey guys, if you can't afford a house, we can offer you a freaking shipping container to live in.
Now you can live on the property of your sons and daughters as you age in order to be closer to them and it'll help with the housing crisis in Canada.
This is the absolute state of Canada.
Willowdale Housing Project for homeless seniors underway after years of community pushback delays.
After years of pushbacks and delays, you're going to get 59 modular building units for homeless seniors.
And some people are like, this is a good thing.
It's not a bad...
Why are there homeless seniors?
Why is there an epidemic of homeless seniors in Canada?
Oh, well, you can just scroll down and see the related articles here.
In the CBC propaganda news, housing crisis is forcing more seniors into shelters, doctors say.
Why?
Some experts say modular homes could ease the Canadian housing crisis.
So, I don't know what people think is the only...
Oh, no, that's just for homeless seniors.
Yeah, there's a lot more of them now because they're being forced out of their homes because of housing...
Because of housing shortages.
Because Canada is on a highway to hell.
After years of delays, rising costs, and local backlash, a supportive housing development intended to fast-track seniors out of homelessness because they were fast-tracked into homelessness because of Canadian immigration policy, to name one culprit, is underway.
A planned three-story modular building on Cummer Avenue.
That is such a terrible name.
Cummer Avenue is now scheduled to open by early next year.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow spoke with reporters at an announcement in Willowdale saying the project will get 59 seniors off the street.
When we talk about the 49 South African asylum seekers who made their way here and people are freaking out.
You know, it's a good gesture.
It's not even a drop in the bucket.
Oh, they're going to have 59 housing units after four years of delays.
Congratulations.
I can't even read the rest of the article because it's irrelevant and it's rubbish.
Now, some of you might be saying, no big deal.
It's a good thing.
Who could possibly complain about the fact that they're going to offer modular housing to homeless people?
Bypassing and ignoring or burying the lead, why the hell is there an uptick crisis in...
The elderly becoming homeless.
So after a lifetime of paying into the system, not only is this their thanks, they're forced out of their homes.
They're forced out of their residences because they can't afford life in Canada.
They can't afford housing in Canada because Canada has been infiltrated and overrun through mass migration.
And the modular housing, you say, hmm, it's an interesting thing, this modular housing.
We see it across the country now.
And you might want to ask, why?
Or you might not want to ask why.
Somebody tried to shame her.
It doesn't matter here.
I just have to point something out.
That's the article.
That was illustrating.
Oh, son of a gun.
I just got to it.
You might want to ask, who owns an interest in modular housing?
When did the uptick in homelessness and the elderly now start in Canada?
What, in 2021?
Although housing has been a problem for damn near a decade, and we knew it because it was Justin Trudeau's campaign promise.
In 2015?
It's been a problem for a decade and, you know, you get what you vote for.
The only problem is, so does everybody else.
And they've just re-elected the same liberal government that has contributed to, exacerbated, created this housing crisis.
But don't worry, Mark Carney's in.
Mark Carney, former chair.
Not the co-chair or the vice chair.
He was sure to correct whoever asked him that question during the debate.
I was chair.
MoFo, don't you forget it.
Of Brookfield Assets Management.
Brookfield Business Partners.
Press release 2021.
Brookfield Business Partners to acquire Modulair Group.
Brookfield.
News Juniorietta.
Brookfield Business Partner LLP.
Brookfield Business Partners, together with institutional partners collectively, Brookfield today announced an agreement to acquire Modulair Group.
Modulair for approximately $5 billion.
2021.
Who was advising Justin Trudeau informally at this time and had been doing it for a year as a result of COVID?
That's right, Mark Carney.
Modulair is leading provider in modular leasing services in Europe and Asia Pacific, meeting the needs of diversified customer base across the industrial, infrastructure, and public sectors.
With a global fleet of approximately 260,000 modular units across 25 countries, Modulair Services...
More than 48,000 customers through an established network of approximately 180 branches.
Its modular units provide customers a wide range of attractive, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions for temporary space requirements.
Quote, we are pleased to expand our European operations with the acquisition of Modulair, a market leader in attracting growing modular workspace sector.
Yada, yada, yada, Brookfield, Parade.
So they have these things.
They use them for businesses.
They use them for construction sites.
And right now, they're using them for Canadian housing.
Now, Twitter has been glitching left, right, and center today, so it's tough for me to get to my bookmarks.
But I pulled up just a few of the examples of modular housing.
And you may or may not recall, there was a video that I played a while back about modular housing in Nova Scotia, where they're literally saying, as you get older, you can live on the property of your children in a modular housing unit.
Built fast, built to last.
Nova Scotia Company hopes its low-priced modular homes will help housing crisis.
Do you remember when they said that the Agenda 2030, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy, was a conspiracy theory?
Well, now it's mainstream.
And not only is it not a conspiracy theory, it's a good thing that it's happening.
That's how these things work.
Oh, good afternoon, everybody.
How goes the battle?
We are entering, I want to say, dark-ish times.
We're entering dark times if we haven't been in there.
And they only see...
There's the expression of staring into the abyss and not becoming a monster because when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.
And it's not necessarily to say that it turns everybody into monsters.
Sometimes it just turns people to total despair and abandonment.
Some might say that when you spend your entire life on the internet...
Much like, you know, investigators who spend their entire lives investigating horrendous crime scenes.
Or when you're a lawyer, you spend your entire life fighting.
Watching relationships go bad.
Watching people fight after relationships go bad.
And then you sit there saying, how do relationships ever work?
You sort of get the trauma of the practice.
And so that might be something that we all have to watch out for.
And I'm not confessing through projection.
I'm actually describing a bit of the sentiment that I sometimes have when you sit here living on the internet and...
That's all you see.
I mean, I see a lot of other things.
I went fishing today and caught a beautiful peacock bass.
I'll show you the picture.
But we're entering a world now where, you know, there's bots, there's chatter, there's noise on the internet.
And then it sometimes boils to the surface of real life.
And then people say, well, you know, one has nothing to do with the other and you can't ban speech because psychopaths will act like psychopaths.
That being said, Robert Barnes and I have been talking about it for a long time on the channel.
There is this concept known as the political permission slip, which gives the psychopaths power, empowers them to act on their psychopathy because they believe they have the broader general support of the people who only talk the talk but don't walk the walk or in some cases shoot the gun.
The breaking news that people have been talking about today, or that is the breaking news, Is the murder of two Israeli embassy staff members in D.C. last night by a man who, after he was arrested, was on video saying, free, free Palestine.
And there's going to be a, well, I'd say a massive discussion.
When the nutbags who shot up, you know, the nutbag who shot up the baseball field, Scalise baseball field.
And you go through their timeline and their social media and you see what radicalized them.
The nutbag who shot Kathy...
I don't want to say Kathy Gifford.
I think it's Kathy Gifford.
There is a realm where you say everyone has the right to speak and words, if they're taken to be a call to violence for people who hear dog whistles wherever they go, there's no causal link.
There's no rational connection that can be drawn between Well, someone criticizing Mark Carney, calling him a globalist whore to an act of violence.
In as much as you say, like, you know, Justin Trudeau, filth and scum that he is, I don't even support throwing gravel at his head.
We have been living through a period of time where the rhetoric has not just gotten so insanely over the top when it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
It's gotten so normalized to the point where, you know, we talked about it at the time.
The president of Harvard, who could not come out and say, yeah, calling for the genocide of anybody, whether it's Black, Jew, Muslim, or whatever, violates school.
That's the level of insanity that we got to.
And to then say, well, There are no real-world consequences.
There are no real-world, here's your permission slip, your political permission slip to carry out violence on this.
You know, we're not assessing the world in the same way.
Just to refresh your memories.
Dr. Gay, a Harvard student calling for the mass murder of African Americans is not protected free speech at Harvard, correct?
Our commitment to...
You know, it's a very straightforward question, but...
Claudine Gay knew exactly where the question was going, so she couldn't just outright say, yes, of course, calling for the genocide against Black students would violate Harvard's policy.
She couldn't do it.
Our commitment to free speech.
It's a yes or no question.
Is that corrected?
Is that okay for students to call for the mass murder of African Americans at Harvard?
Is that protected free speech?
Our commitment to free speech extends.
It's a yes or no question.
Let me ask you this.
You are president of Harvard, so I assume you're familiar with the term intifada, correct?
I've heard that term, yes.
And you understand that the use of the term intifada in the context of the Israeli-Arab conflict is indeed a call for violent armed resistance against the state of Israel, including violence against civilians and the genocide of Jews.
Are you aware of that?
That type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me.
And there have been multiple marches at Harvard with students chanting, quote, there is only one solution, intifada revolution, and, quote, globalize the intifada.
Is that correct?
I've heard that thoughtless, reckless.
Can you imagine?
She got demoted.
She still has an $800,000 a year salary.
Can't answer.
Cannot be honest.
Yeah, that's happening on campus.
Why might they not be able to admit it?
Well, because then they might have some funding, federal funding pulled.
Then they might have some privileges like being able to welcome foreign students pulled like Harvard just had today.
Let's go a little bit longer.
And hateful language on our campus.
Yes.
So based upon your testimony, you understand that this call for intifada is to commit genocide against the Jewish people in Israel and globally, correct?
I will say again.
You and I both know that's not the case.
You were aware that Harvard ranked dead last when it came to free speech.
Are you not aware of that report, rescinded, or any disciplinary action be taken against students?
Here we go.
What's the characterization?
I'm not going to get into details about a personnel matter.
Well, let me ask you this.
Will admissions offers be rescinded or any disciplinary action be taken against students or applicants who say from the river to the sea or intifada advocating for the murder of Jews?
As I've said, that type of hateful, reckless, offensive speech is personally abhorrent to me.
I think today that no action will be taken.
What action will be taken?
When speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies, including policies against bullying, harassment, or intimidation, we take action, and we have robust disciplinary processes that allow us to hold individuals accountable.
What action has been taken against students who are harassing and calling for the genocide of Jews on Harvard's campus?
I can assure you we have robust...
We can stop there.
You get the idea.
We're living in a world where the president of Harvard could not categorically say that calling for genocide of anybody would be violative of campus policies.
And for people to pretend that the mass normalization of that type of rhetoric doesn't eventually spill out into the...
And we're not talking about misgendering on Twitter.
Misgendering.
We're not talking about people saying that misgendering is tantamount to genocide.
If you misgender, you're committing genocide.
And that house somehow spills out.
We're talking about presidents of major institutions acting like there's nothing...
I don't like it, but you have the right to say it.
And you might have the right to say it under certain circumstances, but not saying that it violates campus policy.
We're seeing the fallout of this.
Because the individual who did what he did yesterday...
Quite clearly felt empowered, and you can go online today, and not only will you not see condemnation, you will see celebration, much like when that guy Aaron Bushnell immolated himself.
And I said, anybody praising self-immolation is exactly one step away from tolerating barbarism or even promoting barbarism.
This is the news.
Washington AP.
Two staff members of the Israeli embassy in Washington were shot and killed while leaving an event at a Jewish museum, and the suspect yelled, free, free Palestine after he was arrested, police said.
The stunning attack on Wednesday evening, which FBI Director Kash Patel described as an act of, quote, targeted anti-Semitic violence, end quote, prompted Israeli missions to beef up their security and lower their flags to half-staff.
It came as Israel has launched another major offensive.
The two people killed were identified as Yaron Lashinsky, who, as far as I understand, was Christian, an Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgram, an American, were a young couple about to be engaged, according to Yahya Leiter, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Lashinsky told others at an event he attended before he was killed that he was looking forward to returning to Israel to celebrate his upcoming Jewish holiday, said Ted Deutsch.
The couple were leaving an event at the Capitol Jewish Museum with a suspect who had been seen pacing outside the museum approached a group of four and opened fire.
The gunman identified as Elias Rodriguez, who has radical lefty ties, surprise, surprise, of Chicago, then walked into the museum, was detained, yada, yada.
Okay, we can stop there.
I'm fairly certain one of them was actually Christian.
That's the news.
And the question is, Normalizing calls for overt genocide and even what I still believe is protected speech from the river to the sea where people don't necessarily mean it or don't necessarily understand what it means.
Does it spill out into the real world in this manner?
Now, I'm getting into a discussion with...
We'll see if we have a discussion or if it's just going to be a Twitter discussion.
But Mark Carney, by the way.
Mark Carney came out and condemned this.
After having made statements earlier in the week, or I think it was last week, talking about condemning Israel where it actually got praise from Hamas.
Mark Carney, what I call the tragedy panderer, is back at...
Pandering to Tragedy writes, I am devastated and appalled by the murder of two young Israeli embassy staff in Washington, D.C. This was a targeted attack against the Jewish community, a violent act of anti-Semitism.
This hate is intolerable, and I condemn it in the strongest terms.
My prayers are with Yaron and Sarah, the grieving loved ones, and the entire Jewish community.
The only problem with that is that quite literally last week, let me just get the receipts here.
X is acting up, so it makes it tough for me to check my timeline today.
Let me see if I have it elsewhere here.
Hold on one second.
Let me see here.
It's not coming up.
Well, I can't bring it up right now, but it was a Toronto Post.
Let's see.
Google.
Here.
Hamas praises Carney.
Yeah, here we go.
Toronto Sun.
Now, there is legitimate criticism against the state of Israel and Netanyahu's response, and oddly enough, or I would say what some have even criticized me for, I've been critical of it from day one.
Do I think that that's going to garner me any goodwill in the people who have been chanting this for the last year, saying everybody who doesn't call Israel a genocidal state is guilty of genocide?
No!
But I'll still say what I say respectfully and unapologetically.
Canada's Israel statement garners Hamas praise, condemnation from Jewish-Israeli groups.
Quote, so much for thinking Mark Carney would be any different.
He's not, conservative Melissa Lansman said.
Well, here it says, you know, his statement in and of itself is a defensible statement.
That's how, oh, let's see, here we go.
Sorry, I'm up here.
It's a step in the right direction.
That's how Palestinian terror group Hamas described Monday's joint Canada-UK-France statement on Israel, praising the move and calling on Arab and Islamic states, as well as the rest of the world, to take, quote, decisive and concrete action, end quote, against, quote, savage Zionist aggression, end quote.
Monday's joint statement called on Israel to halt military action in Gaza and resume humanitarian aid, condemning suggestions by Israel of a forced relocation of civilians from Gaza.
"We will not stand by while Netanyahu government pursues these egregious actions." The statement read.
"If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions.
Now, the problem is, if that were the limits of the discourse, I think many people would agree that the events of October 7, inasmuch as they still remain unexplained to this day, is not the carte blanche to do whatever for however long.
When it looks like what is being done, set aside any questions about how October 7 occurred to the extent that it did, when it looks like it is being used as a pretext to basically evacuate, force evacuate the entire area with no prospect of relocating or re-inhabiting, that is a legitimate criticism.
When it gets to protests, violent protests where...
Chants for genocide are normalized and protected.
The police come in and actually don't do anything to quell the harassment and the chance for genocide, but actually go and beat the ever-loving piss out of the journalists.
Where the president of Harvard can't come out and categorically state unequivocally that calls for genocide against Jews, Blacks, Muslims, whomever, are violative of school rules, you have normalized that type of rhetoric.
And it spills out into the streets in this manner.
The discussion I was having with Candace Owens was, I do believe that People who have been saying, if you don't condemn Israel as committing genocide, you are no better.
Zionist genocides, and if you don't condemn it, you are one of them.
They have blood on their hands.
Inasmuch as I do genuinely believe that when you radicalize people to go shoot up a baseball field, the Rachel Maddows and Bernie Sanders of the world, politically and metaphorically speaking, have blood on their hands.
And when you have Candace Owens, and I respectfully disagree with her here, because when you have this going on for extended periods of time, referring to it as genocides, and by the way, anyone associated with it is therefore a legitimate target.
When you have people defending October 7 because settlers are legitimate targets, setting aside the fact that there were non-Jews slaughtered on that day, this is what happens.
Candace Owens writes, there is nothing more fake, gay, and obvious than the, quote, you have blood on your hands aimed at people who have nothing to do with a crime that has taken place because they held a reasonable opinion about something else.
What is happening in Gaza is still wrong, psychos.
Now, my humble and real, we'll see the level of, you'll see the replies to this.
There's a massive irony in taking this position when the people who were murdered yesterday were literally murdered because they were lumped together with the crimes people attribute to the government of Israel.
Lumping in not only Israeli citizens, many of whom are critical of Netanyahu's response, but Jews throughout the world, labeling them as genocidal Zionists.
Go see who used those types of words and ask yourselves what do they think that's going to do to people who are already on the fringe of mental stability.
Genocidal Zionists through act or omission, because if you don't call it genocide, you are guilty of genocide, is exactly the kind of rhetoric that radicalizes psychopaths to do things like this.
The rhetoric has been coming unabated for years.
It has been normalized even by the likes of Harvard's presidents.
So I tend to disagree.
People who have been hurling the rhetoric of genocidal baby killers do indeed have blood on their hands in the metaphorical political sense.
Respectfully submitted.
Do we go down and do I torture myself and see what the...
You came this close to endorsing.
You see, this is what is enraging about reading the tweets.
No, I didn't.
Moron.
In fact, I was quite clearly against the law to prohibit.
It doesn't even matter because I don't think many of these are real people, and even if they are, they don't know what the hell they're talking about.
That makes no sense.
Okay, that's worthwhile, isn't it?
I'm not even going to read that.
There we go.
They were genocide supporters, besides it was a false flag operation.
Though I disagree with the murders, the victims did directly work for the Israeli government.
Though I disagree with it, you know, it's...
This is the rhetoric that's been...
Now, it is the internet, and there are people who act like troll bad people on the internet just because they can.
And it's anonymous, and I don't advocate for eliminating anonymity like some others.
It empowers...
As Jordan Peterson, it empowers psychopaths.
It empowers bad behavior because there are people who are bored and it's a way to get engagement.
It's a way to keep yourself busy.
I mean, I consider myself to be relatively busy and it's a good distraction.
If I had nothing else to do, my goodness, this would be the most wonderful distraction.
And what easier way to get endless fodder for your distraction?
Act like a troll to say outrageous, offensive things on Twitter and then engage with the people who get triggered by it.
But...
You know, the analogy I like to think is, we all agree there is a black and a white, and then there's a gray zone.
And there's a, the gray zone has to be tolerated.
The black and white are the furthest extremes where nothing could possibly be considered instigating or inciting in it.
And then there's the other side, which is, it's obvious.
Like, obvious, passing the Brandenburg level, identifying a person, call to action, specific, whatever.
But I do think that there's not many people who would look to what happened in Rwanda and say that when influential figures took to the radio waves to literally say, cut the tall trees, knowing exactly what that meant, because they were talking about the group that were taller black members within Rwanda because of, I believe it was European ancestry, which is why they were the target in the first place, cut the tall trees.
Is what led, is what incited, is what sparked the Rwandan genocide.
Now, is it protected speech?
He didn't say anything specific.
He didn't say, go kill that person at this time, but everybody sort of knew what the call to action was.
And so, in that sense, we agree that there is a point at which the call to action is there.
On Twitter, on the interwebs, it's not even...
It's not even ambiguous.
The call to action is overtly there.
The only question is, people say, well, it comes from nobody, small accounts, bots, whatever, and so you can't even trace it down in order to enforce the law.
But when it's been normalized at a broader social level, this is kind of what you see.
And it's horrible and it's depressing.
And that being said, like Dave Smith rightly observed, this is terrible because it makes those who legitimately oppose what's going on To the Palestinians, what's going on in Gaza?
It makes them...
Now they're lumped together with it.
The only problem is, there's a reason why they're lumped together with it, because it would seem that even the most middle of the ground...
Go see how often they use the term genocidal baby killers.
There's only so many times you can call a group of people genocidal baby killers from prominent influential types before people start thinking they have the political permission slip.
To go do what is necessary to eliminate genocidal baby killers.
I'd like to see what the position of these people were who are saying this today.
I'm not responsible.
I'm just saying what I believe is right and politically justified in hyperbolic terms.
I wonder how they felt about the argument that you call Donald Trump Hitler for long enough.
You say he's an existential threat for long enough.
You have...
James Comey's saying 86-47, without being punished, yet, fingers crossed, hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, that he should be charged and prosecuted for what he did, and may he raise his defense to a jury of his peers.
You call someone an existential threat who's literally going to come and kill your daughters through policy, it's only a matter of time before some mentally unwell individual, or two, or three, take their literal shots at him.
Once, twice, or three times.
And so that's what's going on.
You cannot pretend that people are not politically motivated to go out and try to take Donald Trump's life when for the last decade you said he's going to kill your daughters, take away their rights, an existential threat, end of democracy, literally Hitler.
There's only so many times you can say that before some...
You only need one of them.
In a population of 350 million, the only problem is when it comes to what's going on in the Middle East, there's not just one or two fringe lunatics.
There are literal movements apparently up in Canada getting the protection of the government.
You give people the political permission slip to do it, and then you see things like this.
Now, do I dare go?
Look at the chat here.
Bucklebrush Jones says, Our FBI doesn't punish 8647.
They arranged fake kidnappings for them.
Well, let's hope, Bucklebrush, that you're wrong about that because the FBI that arranged for the Fednapping or the entrapment Fednapping of Gretchen Whitmer is a very different FBI than the one we have right now under Kash Patel and Dan Bongino.
So hopefully we're going to see some meaningful, very meaningful differences between current FBI, current administration and former FBI, which was...
I would argue a branch of the left-wing capital D Democrat terrorist movement.
January 6th was a Fed surrection that was set up by the Feds, by the FBI, facilitated, exacerbated.
The Gretchen Whitmer Fednapping plot was the FBI literally manufacturing the crisis so they could then weaponize it for political purposes.
We have a very different FBI right now, and I am wishing them nothing but the best.
But the world is waiting for concrete actions and not merely knee-jerk reflexive responses to acts of...
I wouldn't call it anti-Semitism.
I would call this domestic terrorism.
I don't know.
It might not be able to be domestic terrorism because they were staffed to the Israeli embassy.
And then you're going to get the people out there who are going to say they're fair game.
They're fair targets.
They work for the genocidal Zionist terrorist government.
Therefore, they're...
Fair game.
The irony being that the very people saying this are the ones who say you can't hold all of the Palestinians responsible for the acts of Hamas.
It is an asymmetrical application of an absence of logic.
It's collective punishment, what Israel is doing to Palestine, but collective punishment to Jews or anybody affiliated with the government of Israel is fine.
Don't expect intellectual consistency here.
Um...
So that's that.
Now, I was going to start off with...
Let me see here.
What else we got here?
Ah, yes.
The Mark J. Carney.
No, that's not it.
Let me get this one out of here.
Oh, yeah.
Let me see something here.
All right.
Hold up.
Sorry.
This is the ability to pull up...
Oh, yeah.
That's what it was here.
Let's talk about the application of logic, by the way.
I didn't realize I had gotten an email from an individual who says, that is a lie.
You're distorting reality.
This was in response to...
How do I get the tweet now?
Because I want to see what the original tweet was.
Give me one second to pull this one up.
This was in response to a tweet where I said...
Oh, I was responding to Theo Vaughn.
That's right.
Here we go.
Look at this.
I don't fault Theovan for what he said.
I think he's, you know, feels compelled to take a position on something.
Let's watch what Theovan actually have to say.
Here we go.
What are we doing is what Theovan said the other day that caused a bit of backlash.
And we'll listen to what Theovan said.
I won't play the whole thing.
I'd say it seems sincere and it seems heartfelt, and I won't judge him as an individual, but it'll explain the context to what we're getting into here.
This is what Theo Vaughn had to say.
You know, I wanted to say something.
There's been something that's just been kind of on my heart, and so I feel like I should bring it up.
There is...
You know, we've had people on the podcast in the past to talk about it.
And...
There's a conflict that's been happening in the Middle East.
People know about it between Israel and Palestine and some of the areas over there, the Gaza area they talk about.
And I just think it feels to me like it's a genocide that's happening while we're alive here in front of our...
In front of our lives.
And I don't, sometimes I feel like I should say something.
I'm not a geologist or geographer or anything like that, you know, so I don't know a lot of the, some of it I do know though.
Like I know the basics of the issues over there, but for me it's just like how I feel like you see all these photos of people.
Just children, women, people, body parts, just people putting their kids back together.
It is the horror of war.
This is Theo Vaughn.
I will not impugn his intentions, his credibility.
I might suggest that saying it feels like genocide, I mean, it's a very interesting way of phrasing it.
It can never be proven or disproven, especially when we haven't yet defined what genocide is.
And I replied to him, and this is the response to my tweet, it's human to feel sad at the consequences of war, but the first thing you need to define is what genocide means.
There are people out there who say, it can't be genocide because the Palestinian population has risen and grown, and so therefore it can't be genocide.
I mean, I'll disagree with that argument, especially in light of the 1948 definition of genocide, which I think is so broad, it might even sort of deprive genocide Historical meaning.
I wouldn't say that.
But let's define what genocide means.
If all war is genocide, then let's call all war genocide.
Then you need to ask yourself if genocide starts by the purported victims of the genocide slaughtering over 1,000 innocent men, women, children of the group purportedly committing the genocide.
Then the question is, okay, if it's the mass slaughter of a mass amount of people, is that genocide?
Is the murder of genocide...
1,000 people genocide or not?
They're going to say, no, it's not, because the capability to fulfill the genocide is not there.
Although some might even argue that that's not necessarily true, because Hamas, with the backing of whomever backs them, definitely has the capability, and if they had the means, they would already have executed on it.
So I don't expect to get an answer from Theo Vaughn, but I did get an answer from Patrick Henningsen, who I replied to in some detail.
On Twitter.
And his response was what we call a gish gallop.
That is a lie, Viva.
You are distorting reality.
I gave him a little tutorial as so.
That is a lie.
Okay, that's a conclusion.
You are distorting reality is ad hominem.
Firstly, there's no evidence of rape even among the Israeli org have since admitted to this.
I'll deny that.
I'll disagree with that as a matter of fact.
We all saw the videos.
I mean, it's so absurd because groups literally claimed responsibility for it.
It's like, it didn't happen, but it's the greatest act of resistance ever.
Nothing, nothing, no identifiable victims.
False.
And the, quote, 40 beheaded babies was another emotive fabricated lie put out by Israel and reported by politicians and our brain-dead media.
Second, Hamas did not slaughter...
Then we get into the whole argument that some or most...
Of the victims.
There weren't a thousand dead, but there were a thousand dead, but Israel killed most of them.
In the, what do we call it?
There's the, oh, the operation.
It's a tactic of war.
What's it called?
I'll read the whole thing just so that it...
Secondly, Hamas did not slaughter a thousand innocents on October 7 because, as you are well aware, if, as a good lawyer, you bother to look at the actual numbers and data, the 300-plus IDF soldiers killed are not innocent villagers, nor are the 150 Shinbet and police killed, nor are the IDF reservist settlers.
So they were all guilty.
And nor are there three to four hundred, perhaps even more, Israelis killed by panicking IDF.
So, no, the few hundred remaining potential actual civilian casualties on the Israeli side does not constitute a genocide.
To even try to make such a convoluted argument is patently ridiculous on your part and shows a lack of objectivity and extreme bias, not to mention your entire framing of this event.
It is a void of the obvious content.
Of Israel's illegal occupation of stolen land.
This is why the discussions never go anywhere.
You go back endlessly.
Oh, it's stolen land from wars that allegedly were started by the neighboring nations and they lost territory.
But you can't gain war.
You can't gain land through conflict.
That was the Geneva Convention.
And so after a war that...
Arguably, Israel didn't start.
They got to give back the lands that they took as a result of it.
But then you got people saying, well, now they're taking a lot of lands and using October 7 as a pretext.
I've had this argument, discussion with so many people so many times.
It goes nowhere except for stomach-churning frustration levels.
So you got the gish gallop of throwing a ton of crap.
Yeah, no one was raped.
I mean, it's like there's video.
There's video.
People took credit for it.
There's footage that...
Exists.
No.
Okay, fine.
But those weren't innocent.
They were somehow related to the state, so they're not innocent civilians.
So let's take that number down.
The babies weren't decapitated.
They were just killed.
I said to this guy, first of all, I never said the 40 beheaded babies because whether or not they were beheaded doesn't make a difference.
There were babies, infants that were killed on October 7th.
People are proud of it.
But this man, this was how I got to him yesterday.
I thought he was going to have another own on me in a totally other argument that there's no white genocide going on in South Africa.
Since we haven't defined what genocide means, we can use it everywhere.
There's no genocide in South Africa where white people are being murdered and forced to displace and having land taken from them.
That's not genocide, but there's genocide in Gaza.
But there's no genocide when Hamas kills soldiers because they're not civilians so it's not genocide and I guess numbers are all that make genocide.
No white genocide in South Africa, he said.
For someone who is a lawyer, you don't seem to do much research of facts.
You just run with narratives coming out of Fox News and Elon's Twitter feed.
Trump embarrassed himself.
And the country today, hijacking a head of state and selling the Oval Office in a fake news exhibit, literally retarded.
There's a lot of people who think it's just funny now to use the word literally retarded, so I had to, you know, do a little logic check with Patrick Henningsen, who fancies himself a journalist.
Fake news again at Viva.
That is what we call a conclusion and not a premises.
Oh, sorry.
Fake news.
Fake news again is a label.
There's no white genocide.
In South Africa is repeating a conclusion.
How do we get to that conclusion?
Well, there's no facts or premises upon which that conclusion is based.
What there is is a slew of ad hominem.
For someone who's a lawyer, useless ad hominem.
You don't seem to do much research of facts.
Useless ad hominem.
You just run with narratives.
Useless ad hominem.
Trump embarrassed himself today.
Useless ad hominem.
Hijacking a head of state and selling the Oval Office with a fake news.
Fake news exhibit?
Conclusion.
Not a premise.
Trump may have referred to it as a...
The white crosses might have referred to it as...
The crosses exist.
The president of South Africa didn't seem to know that the crosses exist.
They represent all farmers murdered, 87.6% of which are white.
Do we call that a genocide?
So, we shouldn't expect any linear logic in any of this.
What we have, unfortunately, is people arguing from conclusions.
Normalizing rhetoric, which is dehumanizing, not by consequence, but by deliberate intent.
And what ends up happening is some unhinged lunatic who thinks he's got his political permission slip to do it, goes out and does it.
And then instead of having, you have your useless, not disingenuous, but oh, I strongly condemn violence.
Nobody needs to come out and condemn murder.
But at some point, people need to Be honest and be realistic about the consequences of normalizing genocidal rhetoric.
And that goes, across the board, ideologically neutral.
Let me see what's going on in here.
Follow Viva Fry's podcast because even Bigfoot tunes in for his legal hot takes between forest naps.
I don't even know if that's a compliment or an insult.
I'm joking.
That's probably a compliment.
Let me refresh here.
I haven't checked to see if we're live on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
We are.
Sammy says, Viva, you lack objectivity and extreme bias.
Did he just call you a Jew?
These people have no other arguments and are so predictable.
What's frustrating about it to me is I get called a self-hating Jew.
From some, because I've been very skeptical about how October 7 happened and about the response, which if anybody harbored the preconceived notion that this is a pretext to go and grab more land, and so the worse October 7 was, the more justified they are in response.
That's a theory that people have.
Everything that's played out is playing into that.
Ratifying and fortifying that theory.
So I get called a self-hating Jew, as if me being Jewish has anything to do with the way I view things, and then I get called a Zionist for saying, yeah, the history, you want to talk about who has the rights to the Middle East, to Israel, because of who was there first, ignoring the fact that it was a British mandate that didn't even belong to the Palestinians in the first place, but how far back do we go is the question.
And you either go back to the original owners of the land or occupants of the land, or you don't, and you arbitrarily Set a time frame after which nobody gets to claim it was theirs beforehand.
And if we're going to say give it back, then what you're arguing for against Israel in Israel, you would argue for against everybody in the West in terms of give it back to the natives.
And then the question is going to be, well, which natives had it beforehand?
And then did anyone have it before then?
Okay, well, whatever.
That's it.
That's the bad news of the day.
You know when I say that, we're going to get into some more bad news.
There was another story of the day, which you can't believe, except that it actually happened, that we've lived through Lahaina right now, where they didn't turn on the sirens because they didn't want to confuse the general population of Lahaina as to whether or not it was a fire or a tsunami, and they were afraid that if they sounded the alarms, people would go...
Up into the mountains to avoid what they thought would be a tsunami and would get caught in the fires.
You remember this happening.
We've all lived through it together now.
We're now in the next iteration of absolute stupidity.
St. Louis, Missouri.
Tornado sirens didn't sound in deadly storm.
Now a city commissioner has been placed on leave.
There was a tornado.
They have tornado sirens.
And the tornado sirens didn't sound because...
There is no excuse in the world for why they didn't sound.
But the reason being that the management chief was at some conference a half a mile away and didn't sound the alarms.
Whether or not it would have saved anybody's lives because five people died as a result of this tornado, whether or not the outcome would have been different, we'll never know.
All that we know now is that there was a monumental fudge up because the incompetent idiots behind the alarm didn't sound it.
And now five people are dead.
Those five people might have been dead regardless.
There might have been nothing that could have been done.
We'll never know that right now because now they screwed up and five people are dead.
St. Louis Emergency Management Chief has been placed on administrative leave, the city's mayor said, after sirens meant to sound during a tornado warning failed to be activated ahead of Friday's deadly twister.
Sarah Russell, and we're going to get into this, Commissioner of the City Emergency Management Agency in St. Louis will remain on paid administrative leave.
Of course.
After you fail to do your job and five people die, you get to be put on paid administrative leave until they determine that it was grotesque negligence.
As the city, as an external investigation proceeds into what went wrong.
St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer already ordered an internal probe in the immediate aftermath of the siren failure when National Weather Service radar indicated that a tornado touched down between 2.30 and 2.50 local time.
It initially struck near central St. Louis before ripping through the area with officials estimating some 5,000 people were affected.
Five people in the St. Louis area were killed in the severe weather, officials said.
Spencer described it as one of the worst storms.
Absolutely.
Let's just keep going on here.
Christ, nothing's working today.
I guess it doesn't work.
Am I frozen here?
Read more.
You're good.
It's the site.
You know what?
Scrap it.
I'd like to talk to you about this.
I was a storm chaser.
I lived in these areas.
I listened to these tornadoes.
I've worked with these city managers.
I've worked with these emergency managers.
These people that live in the tornado areas, and people in our community currently do, will tell you the same thing.
That when these sirens go off, they take cover.
Everybody takes cover.
It is a known requirement just to survive in these areas.
So the fact that these people are dead, I will plainly put on it.
I can't say he, she, whatever.
The it person that has caused this, it is definitively on them.
Because when these sirens go off...
People take cover.
We're going to get to the they-them.
By the way, a member of our locals community survived a tornado that killed a number of people in his neighborhood.
Sometimes there's nothing you can do regardless.
They're called acts of God for a reason.
But failing to do the most basic, warn people to take shelter, especially when they have shelters already in place.
It's inexcusable, and the only question is going to be, was it just incompetence or was it DEI at work?
Now, Libs of TikTok puts out a tweet that says, Breaking, SEMA, I forget what SEMA stands for, I'll get to it in a second, Commissioner, Sarah Russell, who goes by they, them pronouns, is on paid leave after she failed to activate the St. Louis tornado sirens for the deadly storm.
Five people are now dead.
I thought, I didn't think it was satire, but you never know.
Maybe lives of TikTok got it wrong.
I'm like, okay, I got to go see that this person is actually the person who's the commissioner of St. Louis.
And she is.
But then I was like, okay, I got to go see if she actually anywhere identified as they, them.
And I'll say this now and I'll say it again later and I'll say it until I'm blue in the face if I need to for the idiots out there in the back who don't hear it.
I don't care about...
Someone's gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation.
By and large, you know, I don't care about one's religion, race, creed, whatever.
Save and accept for as much as it's part of someone's history and makes you understand who they are as an individual.
Don't care in the best possible sense.
Would have never asked the question until they made it our business by saying, if it's true that she, they, them, put anywhere in any official profile that they are concerned about that and...
Among other things, then they make it our business where if something happens, I then am within my rights to say, were we prioritizing the right things?
Were we hiring the people for the right reasons if they placed an emphasis on gender pronouns that defy logic, that defy biology, and that defy grammar?
And the spoiler is, they're trying to wipe the internet of it, but it's real.
She went by they, them.
And you have to go back to the Wayback Machine or web archives because they've scrubbed the internet of it right now.
So Libs of TikTok puts out that tweet.
I don't know if she's right or wrong.
I go try to do some research.
I go to the current St. Louis website, whatever it is, and she's not on it anymore because she's on paid leave, so I guess they took her profile off the platform.
Then you have to find what it was back in the day.
So I went back, I think I arbitrarily went back to April 20, no, June 2024.
Sarah Russell, C-E-M.
C-E-M-A commissioner, they, them.
It's reality.
They try to scrub the internet of them making their they, thems our business so that if something happens, I'm like, okay, well, what were you prioritizing when you hired they, them?
Competence?
And not only that.
There's an unfortunate reality that some people are androgynous looking, and they require pronouns to properly identify their biology because the Pat skits of Saturday Night Live, people look androgynous.
And some people don't want to be, you know, it's insulting, it's embarrassing to be called a he if you're a she and vice versa because you happen to be a man who looks like a woman.
I think Sarah's a woman.
Biologically, I would never know if Sarah's name was Tim.
I might think that maybe it's a man who's gone through it or whatever.
I don't know.
But the second they start making it my business by highlighting it, well, then I'm within my rights and not expected even to then factor it into a subsequent tragedy.
Where was the emphasis placed?
Sarah Russell was promoted to commissioner of SEMA in May 2021.
They joined SEMA.
How many of them joined SEMA?
You know what?
Everybody who hired her should be fired.
Everybody who had a hand in drafting this biologically Defiant, illogical, linguistically impossible bio should be fired.
They joined SEMA in 2010 as a specialist responsible for public information, community outreach, training, exercise, and general topics in emergency management.
In 2012, Sarah was promoted to communication center, taking responsibility for all notification and communication equipment and processes for the agency.
Well, she kind of failed in that.
In addition to those tasks, Sarah has served on a number of committees and advisory, yada, yada, yada.
An authority on social media.
I mean, this is like idiocracy.
Sarah has been a member of the Executive Board of Social Media Club.
St. Louis has been a speaker at the Government Social Media Social for Safety Conference, Missouri Emergency Management Conference, north of yada, yada, yada.
Sarah is a member of the International Association of Emergency Managers, International Public Safety Association.
So it's reality.
They make it very difficult to find the reality when they scrub the internet of it, but it's reality.
Now, I do want to bring up the article because there's a Steelman explanation for what happened.
St. Louis tornado sirens.
Because apparently they were at a conference, so they couldn't sound the alarm because it's not automated.
There's no fucking app for that.
God forbid there should be an app to sound the alarm.
Apparently, they asked the police to do it, or the fire department.
Here, let's just go down.
Five people were killed.
This is the article we're going to get into the archive link.
According to Spencer's office, which announced Russell's leaves Tuesday, the commissioner was attending an off-site workshop with other emergency management staff when the tornado warning came down.
And that prevented them from activating the sirens from their agency's main building, about a half a mile away.
People need to go to jail for this.
That this would be the excuse.
Well, we were at an off-site workshop and we were prevented.
It was physically impossible for us to sound the alarms in time because nobody was back at the center to sound the alarm.
There's no remote way of doing it.
It gets worse.
Russell instead contacted the fire department to activate the sirens, but the directive was ambiguous, the mayor said.
There's...
There's a joke in there somewhere, a sick joke that you have to wait for the passage of time in order to make.
Her office released the recording of Russell's call to the department in which she confirms that they are aware of the NWS warning and briefly clarifies the timing of it before saying, okay, you got the sirens?
The person at the fire department was, yes, ma 'am.
And the call ends, holy shit.
Did they not know that they go by they them?
Yes, they them.
You give me my proper pronouns.
I have them in the official government bio for a reason.
The direction was not clear, Spencer said at the news conference Wednesday morning about the phone call.
Russell did not clearly direct the person at the fire department to press the button to activate the sirens, she said, adding, quote, it's my understanding that the button was not pushed.
No shit, Sherlock.
However, even if someone had pressed the button at the fire department, city officials learned Tuesday that the button was not working.
Do you understand?
The government's not coming to help you.
The government's not there to help you.
Lahaina, they don't sound the alarm.
Here, they don't sound the alarm.
But even if they did, it wouldn't have worked because the button wasn't working.
East Palestine.
It's layered incompetence that is culpable negligence.
Work to repair the button began Tuesday afternoon and is expected to be completed within days.
I mean, it reminds me of the terrorist attack in New Orleans.
Why didn't you have any...
We didn't have any sidewalk barricades up.
Why not?
Well, we don't have them because we took down the ones that were there for maintenance.
You took down the barricades that were there for maintenance and allowed a terrorist to ram his car into however many people killing 14, I believe.
Because you took down the safety device for maintenance, didn't put up a temporary safety device, and let the guy in.
Oh, what's that?
You had mobile safety devices that the mayor of the town, what was her name, didn't know existed?
Every single one of them should go to jail.
They don't.
James Comey's still walking free on the streets.
Holy sweet, merciful hell.
The button at the SEMA office was functioning.
And fire department personnel will be stationed there.
Oh, the button at the SEMA office was functioning, and the fire department...
So they had two buttons.
They called the fire department.
She doesn't give proper explanations for them to sound the alarm, but even though she did, the button didn't work.
The button at the SEMA office was working, but nobody was there to push it.
Freaking amazing.
Spencer also signed an executive order Tuesday to change the siren activation protocol, putting the fire department solely in charge of activating the warning system.
While the standard operating procedure for activating the sirens says the primary activation point is located at the fire department headquarters, the de facto protocol had been that the SEMA would activate this.
With the mayor's executive order, the lack of clarity has now been eliminated.
Oh, thank you!
Five people are dead.
You go to jail.
It's unbelievable.
And don't get mad.
Re-elect them.
Holy hell.
So that's what's going on there.
This is an institution that I have no doubt was celebrating their diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Telling us that they care about pronouns.
If you care about pronouns, well, in the face of five dead people, I care about pronouns now.
And I care to ask, were you hiring incompetent people who are diverse in their gender expression and their pronouns, or were you focusing on skill and competence?
Incompetence, criminal negligence, through and through.
Oh, that's what's going on there.
And I see a super chat from Ginger Ninja, who is the man of our locals community who survived the tornado.
Snooty Mims says, the CIFA is still going to kill those ostriches.
I know there are a lot of good Canadian people, but Canada is owned by NGOs.
And Ginger Ninja.
It says the NOAA system was also down.
So people who rely on weather radios for warning are already not warned as they would expect.
Also, it's pronounced Lewis, not like the lobster.
Okay, well, St. Louis.
I thought it was St. Louis.
It was maybe Louisville.
It was Louisville, not St. Louis.
I'm an idiot.
So now I'm going to have a whole 15-minute segment of me mispronouncing Louisville.
Let me see what's going on in our locals community because I'm using StreamYard today, everybody.
So if you want to go to our locals community.
And join over there.
Today's the day to do it because it's not behind any paywall.
Usually it's for supporters only.
I was using StreamYard because at 5.15 I'm going to be on with Dr. Drew and I think we're co-streaming if it's working well.
Encryptus, what goes up?
Well, we have a bunch of tips and one of them is from Anton.
He was blocked from doing a Rumble rant so I posted it.
What?
Well, let's bring the tips up here.
I'm not making fun of the way the person looks because We're not all...
We're not all...
Okay, Sarah...
Okay.
I'm not reading that one.
Denise Antu says, I live in Missouri.
We call it St. Louis.
Not St. Louis.
St. Louis.
I don't even know how to read the way I'm being told to pronounce it.
St. Louis.
Okay.
Also, we have tornado sirens checked once a week to confirm they are working.
Does St. Louis not do checks?
What do we got here?
Recortes says, just a word for you to peruse at your convenience.
It doesn't have to be answered in public and for locals info.
See all the different names with double-click message.
That was on Facebook.
100% of the double-clicks are bots.
Even with different names, they are probably the same bot.
This is a scam they run.
Doable-clicking is a shortcut giving a post a like and are like...
Okay.
I don't hang on Facebook anymore, but Encryptus says, King of Biltong, need more protein in your diet?
Add some healthy protein meat snacks.
Biltong is packed with B12 creatine, iron, zinc, and much more.
Get some at BiltongUSA.com.

House of dreams.
If you build it, they will live there in bliss.
Not.
So yeah, by the way, I'm told that we are going to be going co-live streaming with Dr. Drew in about 12 minutes and that everything should work.
So hopefully that works properly.
Can my daughter take one of my suits?
Yes.
Why is my daughter asking if she can take one of my suits?
All right, so that's what's going on in St. Louis.
And yeah, we are living through bizarro idiocracy.
And ordinarily...
Someone's overweight.
Someone's physically unappealing.
Irrelevant.
Someone tells you that it's important to them that you call them by biologically and grammatically impossible pronouns.
We are telling me that that person is placing emphasis and value on that which is a distraction from the needs of life, which is competence and paying attention to the task at hand, not your preferred pronouns.
Because you don't get preferred pronouns in life.
You have only pronouns.
Speaking of which, take a trip back up to Canada from CTV News.
So I lived in Quebec City for four years.
I know exactly where this is.
This is going to cost some...
This almost makes me want to go back to Quebec City and attend this place of business.
No quote woke employees writes Quebec City Bar in Jobat.
Eyebrows are being raised.
After a Quebec City bar published a controversial job ad on social media stating that it was looking for a barmaid who was not, quote, woke, end quote, quote, pro-liberal, pro-CAC, that is Coalition Avenir Québec, or in favor of the health measures in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gee, so you're looking for someone who's actually logical, rational, and would be a great, responsible employee?
God forbid!
I'm going to be very clear in my position.
Je serai très clair dans ma position, is what he probably said in French.
I'm going to be very clear.
I used to live not far from St. Anne Boulevard.
St. Anne Boulevard.
That might have been a little bit further from where I live.
Quebec City is a beautiful place.
It's in Canada.
I don't want someone who, during the pandemic, would have called the police if their neighbors had visitors.
The publication, which drew a mountain of criticism, has since been taken down.
Oh, righty.
I am already down.
Oh, my gosh.
When reached by telephone by Nuva Info, the borrower insisted he should have the right to cherry-pick his employees.
Is this going to bring us to the person's...
Ne perd pas le fil.
Plus tard, on va voir si je peux trouver le...
That's funny.
I'm going to go see if I can find the name and find the business and call them up and see if they want to come on for an interview.
We're not in the 1960s or 70s more, argued Richard Poulin.
People used to hide, but I'm not hiding.
Don't I have the right?
And here it is.
C 'est confirmé.
It's confirmed.
Dernièrement, Las Vegas a mis an annonce.
Shock.
Dernièrement.
So recently, Las Vegas...
This is a Facebook post where I said that...
I'll just translate it straight up.
Recently, Las Vegas, the bar...
Put an announcement, a shock announcement.
That we're looking for a barmaid.
We decided to be very clear in our choice by writing that the position was for someone who is not woke or pro-liberal or pro-cock.
Okay, on va changer la dernière phrase.
We're gonna change the last phrase.
No, je ne voulais pas quelqu'un qui, pendant la pandémie, appelait le pays.
I didn't want anybody who during the pandemic would have called the police on their neighbors.
Okay, fine.
It should be clear today and not in 2020.
All right.
The Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms prohibits discrimination when it comes to hiring, particularly regarding an individual's political beliefs in addition to race, sex, and age, explains employment lawyer Marie-Michelle Savard.
It's an amazing thing.
They can appeal if they're rejected because of their political opinions.
And if their political opinions are not to refer to someone as they-them, who's quite clearly a woman, well, then they get fined, and they, I mean they in the grammatically proper sense, they get fined by a human rights tribunal for not respecting the gender expression of an individual.
This is the absolute insanity of the world we live in, where the politics of one person interferes with the politics of the other.
You can't discriminate against me.
You can't discriminate against me if I say that I identify as she, her, when I'm a he, him, or a they, she, it, whatever.
You can't call me by my biological names because you don't get to exercise your political beliefs.
You've got to respect my political beliefs and my political beliefs compel speech from you.
That's not any longer holding political beliefs.
That is imposing political beliefs.
And that's where the line is drawn and should be drawn, but for some reason in Canada is not.
Ah.
Wow.
Let me bring this one up over here.
We got another one.
It says, I feel your pain, Anton.
Rumble Rants also glitched out and refused to post for me as well.
I think there might be something going on today because Twitter was glitching out all afternoon.
I think it still is.
It was saying, you know, retry on a post and then I didn't know that the post was actually successfully going through despite being said retry and then I get three responses of the exact same response.
I post three responses that are identical and look like a psychopath.
What else is going on, people?
I saw something that I found curious because I didn't know what it meant and I had to go Google it.
It's gone.
Let me go over to VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com and see what's up there.
So 515, we're going to merge streams with Dr. Drew.
So we don't need to raid today.
We're going to talk with Dr. Drew about medical assistance in dying in Canada and the recent push to expand it to mature minors.
It's very upsetting.
I mean, mature minors, mentally ill, drug addicts, homeless, which is perfect segue into the story of the day.
No, we started with that story.
Damn it.
All right.
Hold on one second here.
What else do we got?
Yeah, I was going to do the Charlie Kirk.
This is what it was the segue into.
I don't know.
We're living in one screen, two films.
Do people look at this and think that the kid owned Charlie Kirk?
It comes from AF Post, which is news and alerts around the world from America First perspective, not affiliated with any activist organization, whatever.
And it says, Charlie Kirk attempted basic, quote, gotcha, end quote, questions with a Cambridge student.
The student replied that Kirk was a sellout and uneducated on foreign policy, prompting cheers from the audience.
Okay, so this seems like it's judgmental against Charlie Kirk because by her phrasing it as gotchas.
Watch this and you tell me.
If we have the same takeaway from this video.
So can you tell me what African country is currently ongoing in civil war?
Believe it or not, I know about Sudan.
Okay, good.
How about what Southeastern Asian country has an ethnic cleansing going on?
Now, Charlie Kirk does do this.
And say, like, who's the president of Libya?
I don't know.
Like, a question that is relatively, I mean, esoteric in a way, but...
To test one's knowledge.
And then if you get the right answer, it gets more specific until you can't get it.
And then he gets to say, you don't know what you're talking about, so you don't get to talk about this.
It's a very classic rhetorical tactic, debate tactic.
The problem is, in as much as that might be the accusation against Charlie Kirk, that's not what he was doing here.
And the kid misses what the gotcha actually was.
And I'm going to play it through now without talking.
So can you tell me what African countries currently ongoing in civil war?
Believe it or not, I know about Sudan.
Okay, good.
How about what Southeastern Asian country has an ethnic cleansing going on?
I know.
Good.
And you have strong opinions on both sides?
Unlike you, I take an effort to be informed about foreign policy and to come to conclusions.
You are a culture warrior.
Don't make fun of the way the guy looks.
It's too easy.
And to come to conclusions.
You are a culture warrior.
I believe when everything is done, Mr. Kirk, people will see you.
And the people you've supported as corrupt, as selling the country out to the lowest bidder, and of doing irreparable damage to a country I'm sure we all deep down love.
I think you will have to reckon with that one, Mr. Kirk.
The difference is when...
And then Charlie's just going like, no idea what to do.
When everything is done, Mr. Kirk, people will...
Unlike you!
The crowd is cheering because he knows.
He's an Asian country, has an ethnic cleansing going on right now.
Good.
And you have strong opinions on both sides?
The crowd is just so amazed that the kid actually answered the right question and missed the actual...
So you have strong opinions on that?
Where is ethnic cleansing currently going on in the world?
Are you vehemently opposed to the human slavery in Libya?
I mean, the irony is I'm looking up an African country where there isn't a civil war going on.
You could have guessed Sudan is one answer.
I still thought there was a civil conflict going on in Rwanda.
Fairly certain.
You could probably throw a dart.
At the continent of Africa and land on a country in which there is either an active civil war or civil unrest.
Kid missed the entire freaking point.
Do you show, and in the context of, you know, the emphasis that's being placed on Israel, do you show equal interest in the social unrest that's going on across the world?
Are you out there every day protesting against human slavery in Libya?
Are you out there protesting against ethnic cleansing in Burma.
Against the civil war in Sudan.
Against the Rwandan genocide.
A bona fide genocide.
And how long did it take the West to even care about that?
Because some might argue, bringing it back to the beginning, that when it comes to the conflict in the Middle East and the alleged genocide in Gaza, I won't call it a genocide because we don't know what genocide means anymore.
It is...
The consequences of a devastating war that is disproportionately impacting civilians, although it's tough to get figures.
The argument is that Israel is the excuse to feign outrage at genocide because they don't seem to care about other actual bona fide genocides.
They don't seem to care about actual human slavery.
They don't seem to care about actual...
Civil war.
They don't seem to care about slaughter of Christians in Syria.
So the argument is that, you know, the kid, did you get outraged at that?
Kid missed the total question, as did the crowd, and they just go cheering like it's an Arsenio Hall episode, thinking that, you know, he made his point, walks off, mic drop.
The mic drop missed the actual point of what he was talking about.
All right, let's go see.
We got some...
Now, Encryptus, if we get the LinkedIn, let me see.
I don't know how it's going to actually work for the merge, but we're going to see about this.
Okay, cool, comma, waiting for the merge.
Let me bring up a couple of...
Did you give them the link?
I gave them the RTMP codes, so they definitely had that.
Then it should be automatic, then, within the next couple of minutes.
Rustang says, Viva!
Tommy Robinson was released but will soon be charged again for taking photos of the paparazzi who doxed him when he was with his family in Malta.
He needs to get the fuck out of that country and never go back.
Come to America, claim asylum.
That's what he needs to do.
It's not a question of like, stay and fight, Tommy.
Don't be a coward, Tommy.
You don't want to abandon your country.
Stay and fight.
He needs to get the hell out of that tyrannical hellhole and come to what is, at the very least for now, the land of the free and hopefully to stay free.
I think we might be merging within a couple of minutes.
I was raised by my grandfather.
He taught me to use proper pronouns.
I teach them to my kids too, sir and ma 'am, regardless of age and based on what they look like.
It can get embarrassing if you can't identify someone as a male or a female.
It happens.
But...
They, them, and the worst, the most logically to higher cases of depression.
So it's not even necessarily the psychotropic drugs.
And Drew, it's like with the backbone, the shoulder bone, and all of that.
They're not making the connection between all of these things.
And like you said, you've got men just slapping a band-aid.
Nobody has time for that.
We just don't have time for it.
We just don't.
Yeah, I'll tell you what.
The root cause of all this stuff is really where we need to spend our time, and we have not been.
There's something else you triggered in my thinking.
Medication to solve our problems.
Medications, 100% of medications are dangerous.
Vaccines are dangerous.
Medications are dangerous.
You take them only when the risk is outweighed significantly.
By the reward, we have to do no harm.
Adding risk with medication is usually all we are doing.
And at the same time, back to our mental health, we are ignoring the fact that life is hard and leaning into some of those challenges is how we develop resiliency and competency.
And ordinary misery is a good thing.
Imagine that.
Not safe spaces, but ordinary misery.
Honestly, you just put yourself in situations where you're not 100% comfortable, then even that builds robustness.
You know, we're in an age where if it's cold in your house, you turn on the heater.
If it's hot in your house, you turn on focusing on those types of things because your body's not going to produce problems for no reason.
There's obviously a reason behind that, and I think that that's gotten lost in medical treatment these days.
I want to welcome to the show Viva Fry and his friends, his viewers rather, who are also his friends.
And they are our friends.
We are live on his channel right now as well as our own platforms.
Is Viva available to come in so I can introduce him to Amanda?
We'll see how this all works.
Yeah, I'm bringing him in now.
Okay.
Okay, sit tight.
So what is the...
Hey, one quick thing before I get Viva in here.
How was the fallout from the South African thing yesterday?
The fallout from journalists or the fallout from everyday people?
Just the sort of the general reaction, because it was such an extraordinary thing to watch.
And I didn't know quite what to make of it at the time.
And I'm still trying to figure out what's real and what's not.
And it's just an extraordinary thing.
But what's the fallout sort of been around Washington?
I will tell you this from everyday Americans, including one person in particular, a friend of mine who is from South Africa.
He is exceedingly grateful that someone is finally speaking out about this.
I'm confronting the leader of South Africa about this.
I think that South Africa's president came expecting to get the normal presidential treatment, which is, we're not going to talk about that.
We don't want to make for bad or contention.
I guess he's in the Roosevelt Room or High Viva, right outside the Oval Office.
He always goes, well, it makes good TV.
I always think to myself, yeah, he knows television.
Viva, I want to introduce you to Amanda Head.
She is a correspondent at the White House with Just the News.
You can follow Amanda on xAmandaHead.
Welcome, sir.
Thank you.
Drew, just so you know, you're on my channel now.
I know.
We're on like three or four platforms now.
So everybody who's watching on my channel, welcome to Dr. Drew.
This is fantastic.
And I said the same thing.
I said we're going to bring Viva in and his friends, I mean his viewers, and they are now our friends.
But the one thing, Amanda, I'll tell you about Viva's sort of setup there is you just drop in.
He goes, come join me on my thread at 2 o 'clock.
I did, and all of a sudden I was on with you.
There's no waiting room or anything.
You're just there.
I'm sorry, guys.
I didn't bring a crew.
It's just little old me.
But next time, I will plan on doing some type of simulcast.
Well, it's all good.
And listen, I'm going to let Amanda go.
Unless you want to stay and talk to Viva.
If you have any questions for him, you're welcome to stay with us.
I do.
And then I have my own show at 6 o 'clock.
But Viva, I married into a Canadian family.
They are a mixed family when it comes to any type of...
You know, 51st state situation, whether it is just one province or all of them.
What do you hear from your Canadian friends?
I actually hear that a lot of people in Canada were rightly offended by the joke, the quip.
Sure.
The most propagandized people on earth, and when you have media telling you how offensive it is day in and day out, and that it's a serious assault on national sovereignty.
People are impressionable, but I was actually surprised by how many people were rightly offended by it, how many people didn't understand the reason for which Trump was doing it, and how many people just don't understand that Canada has legit become a national security threat for America, such that, you know, they say Canada's not for sale.
Purchase was not the only option in terms of, you know, remedying national security threats.
They don't appreciate what Canada has become by way of national security threat to America.
Yeah, I was talking to Peter before we came there.
I was telling him I married into a Canadian family.
And one of the things that they said was the biggest issue is that Canadians by nature are so polite.
So when it comes to any type of hard conversations about what's going wrong in Canada, you know, if there is a hard conversation to be had about, you know, what is the trade imbalance between our two countries?
What does the U.S. provide to us that we should be doing for ourselves?
But they're so darn polite so that I think so many of them took issue with.
President Trump's directness in that.
And yeah, here we are.
Not to correct you, I'll phrase it differently.
Canadians are subservient.
And there's a difference between subservience and politeness.
And subservience is polite until such time as the other people are not equally as subservient.
Then they stop being polite.
There's nothing polite about calling the cops on...
Absolutely.
People say Canadians are polite, but it's a historical genetic difference in the country that America fought the British for their independence, their God-given rights, and the Canadians are subjects to a king or a queen who says what their rights are, and they're very deferential to authority, and therefore very angry at the people who are not equally deferential to that authority.
I tease my husband, because we have that American...
Go ahead.
I spent a bit of time up there lately, and they are very nice.
But God help you if you scratch.
Rage comes out, especially over in British Columbia.
It's really quite striking.
Especially in a lot of the social issues.
We're going to talk about the Albertans.
No.
Look, what I found the most inciting to the British Columbians, and this is...
My observation, you were lovely.
I had a great time there.
But when it comes to what's mine and what's yours, oh my God.
Sharing is not really a thing.
It's not really a concept in British Columbia.
It really was striking.
Viva, am I on to anything there?
Well, I mean, it's the old communist joke.
Like, what's mine is yours and what's yours.
No, what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine.
It's the old joke.
Yes.
British Columbia is sort of the epicenter of woke and Vancouver and Vancouver Island even more so.
I was out in Newfoundland.
Victoria.
Victoria, yeah.
But you go out to Newfoundland, nicest people I've ever met in my entire life where they invited me in and gave me pickled rabbit, literally, and just wonderful people.
There's wonderful people everywhere.
In every country across the globe, and there's also very important people.
Like, in America, I sort of analogize the liberals in Canada to the Democrats in America.
Very tolerant, very smiley-smiley, until you say something like, you know, boys have penises and girls have a...
And then they act like the triggered meme.
I have to tell you guys, at Winnipeg's Richardson Airport, my husband and I flew there to be with his family.
We trade off on Christmases.
And it was the first time we had seen this.
He was in the men's bathroom and found a box of tampons at Richardson Airport.
And he took a video and showed it to me afterwards.
And I was so proud of him.
He took the little basket and he just dumped it in the trash.
And that was the first time I saw it in Winnipeg.
And I thought, my gosh, this place is doomed.
And this was two or three years ago.
You know, what's interesting, talking about these different country things, is I listened to a lot of French radio, and I was listening to a guy interviewed this morning.
He said, you know, people think Russia is still under some sort of Soviet system.
We are entrepreneurial.
We have freedom.
You're thinking of Russians as Putin.
Putin has just been a strong man that stabilized our country.
You feel what you will about him.
Russia is now one of the most liberal, free places you can be.
And he was just going after example after example.
And I thought, oh my God.
And he said, no one in Russia thinks about the war.
And he said he had a friend whose brother-in-law died in the war.
And his position was, well, he enlisted.
He wanted to We're good to go to war.
So what are you going to do?
It's the people die.
That's it.
That's their level of involvement with the war, with Ukraine.
There is a Ruski toughness and mentality that is apparent in that story.
The amazing thing, Drew, I met a lot of Russians in Canada who are not as amenable or not as easily manipulated by state media, state propaganda, because they grew up in...
Correct.
We're inoculated.
They've been inoculated by the Soviet system.
They don't fall for it.
We fall for it.
Listen, the E, I heard a great term yesterday, the EUSSR.
The EUSSR is more authoritarian and centralized and Soviet-like than the Russian citizens are subjected to right now.
Yeah.
It is weird.
I call it, not even jokingly, the European-Soviet Union, but it is wild where Trump and Vance are right to some extent where they say Europe and to some extent Canada does not share the core values of America of a free country anymore.
It's like, don't sever ties entirely.
If you don't culturally respect the same things where you're locking people up for social media posts like they're doing in the UK, fining people for misgendering employees like they're doing in Canada, at some point you're going to say this relationship is no longer worth pursuing unless one of us changes and America should not go down that road.
No, it is amazing that the people who come from being able to identify the tactics of a government that wants to control you at all costs, the people in Europe, in Canada, are more amenable to still think the government's there to protect you because they didn't listen to Ronald Reagan.
Just so you know, we're not streaming them anymore.
Now you're just sitting by yourself on the stream, not talking.
Now they can hear me again.
Just so you know.
Thank you.
I was segwaying into what I thought we were going to talk about here, which was medical assistance in dying in Canada.
Thank you.
Oh, it was Kayla Pollack.
Okay.
A quadriplegic from the Moderna booster after having had two Pfizer shots.
There was another case.
I don't know if you saw the ad for Simons.
Simons is a retail clothing chain in Canada who decided to dabble their toes into euthanasia, medical assistance, and dying.
And they did this whole...
This two-and-a-half-minute montage, and they called it, like, All is Beauty or something, about a woman who chose to end her life.
She was, like, 30-some odd, a young woman, because, you know, she wanted to die with dignity.
And then a brother, like, two-and-a-half years ago, who put up a post on Twitter that said something like, I think it was 13,000 people were euthanized in Canada in that year.
And I was like, that's impossible.
And then I started looking into it, and it's been, like, going up 30%, 40% year after year since the Supreme Court...
Authorized or declared constitutional medical assistance in dying in 2016.
And then they legislated that they were going to allow for the mentally ill to take their own lives because you don't want to discriminate against the mentally ill and you want to allow them to contract into death.
So they amended that, but then sunsetted that provision for a few years and then they extended that sunseting the provision.
But now we've entered a realm in Canada where euthanasia accounts for Four point some odd percent of all death in the country.
It's like the top five leading causes of death.
It's been put on blast to the point where they're trying to downplay the extent to which they want to liberalize youth in Asia.
But it's state-sanctioned murder.
And in two provinces, they've now...
Haven't they seen enough now?
Haven't we had enough examples?
I mean, look, the whole, the Biden story is getting people's attention, right?
They're like, oh my God, they were lying to us.
I can't believe it.
They were obfuscating and lying.
Yeah, yeah, from day one, about just about everything.
We now have all the data on myocarditis coming out.
They suppressed that.
They attacked people who wanted to talk about it.
Anything to do with Biden's mental status was attacked and just sidelines and maliciously.
This is the part I don't like.
You have Jake Tapper running around going, I guess I got it wrong.
I mean, what are you going to do?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Getting it wrong is 1 in 20,000.
Then it's 1 in 5,000.
Then it's 1 in 5,000 per dose.
And then they started admitting...
I watched a bit of Dr. Peter McCullough during the hearings today talking about how terrible it was.
And they knew that it was terrible.
They knew that they were mass-producing experimental jets.
The whole conceit...
Here we go.
Why did this happen?
It was because Joe Biden, his advisors, and to a large degree the entire Democratic Party bought into the argument that Donald Trump posed an existential threat to the United States, Joe Biden was the only one who could defeat him, and therefore anything that went after Joe Biden would help Donald Trump.
That argument, when you convince yourself that the enemy If you're a Democrat, the enemy is Donald Trump.
If you convince yourself that the enemy is an existential threat you can justify almost anything.
Oh, not almost anything.
You can justify anything.
And that quote is my favorite one, because all the way back into the early part of the first Trump presidency, I kept saying, people feel delusional to me.
It feels like a delusional preoccupation.
And then COVID hit, and I went, where did we become hysterical and delusional as a country?
The whole world became hysterical and delusional.
Is Hitler propaganda that they implanted in people's brains?
And if he is Hitler, then anything is justified in stopping Hitler.
You're going to know who the author is.
It's a famous quote that they say those who can convince us to believe absurdities can get us to commit atrocities.
It was maybe Nietzsche.
But he's right.
I mean, you remember that we were talking about mass formation psychosis during COVID.
And they were saying, no, it's a conspiracy theory because behavioral psychologists Have chimed in and said it's not a real thing.
And people don't understand.
A behavioral psychologist is someone who exercises or operates in the concept of mass formation psychosis.
They just call it a different thing.
They call it behavior.
Yes, yes.
I only noticed it starting in 2015 with Trump.
And in retrospect now, you know Mark Robert.
He planted the idea in my head that this is actually just one big extension of MKUltra.
Mass formation, psychosis level, psychological manipulation.
We've been going.
And people don't seem to understand it.
In Canada, you know, bring it back up north.
They literally admitted the military that COVID was a good time to test military propaganda on people.
And they were running fake stories about wolves on the loose in Nova Scotia to see how people would react.
It was a mass experimentation, psychological, physical.
What about the killer bees?
And then some people, it's the Mark Twain, like it's easier to convince, to fool some people than to convince them they've been fooled because for parents right now to have to reconcile the fact that they might have injected their kids with this stuff and hurt their kids, to admit that is too hard.
So they'll live with the lie.
But, yeah, it's Jake Tapper.
I don't know.
Jake Tapper what?
By the way, people who complain about us talking over each other, we have a delay here.
You end up talking over each other.
Can I interrupt you guys who haven't taken a breath in this entire show?
Okay, go ahead.
Okay, I have to interrupt you because Viva's feed is garbly gush.
It's kind of Dr. Drew feed is good.
So if everybody is over there and wants to switch over, but we're trying to get in touch with Viva's producer to talk to Caleb.
Viva is Viva's producer.
Yeah, I couldn't get a break.
You guys were talking so fast.
And I said the same thing.
Why don't I take a commercial break?
How about that?
Can I do that, Caleb?
So Viva, call Caleb.
No, we're going to raid your feed, and then I'm going to end mine.
So I don't know if you can hear me now, but we'll raid and then leave.
Perfect.
Okay.
Is that what we're doing right now?
Yeah.
Caleb, is that good?
Yeah, that's perfect.
Perfect.
Raid us.
Okay, perfect.
Caleb died.
All right, my friend.
Talk to you soon.
Raid and then whatever.
And then we'll go, we'll take a little break, and we'll bring our next guest in, who is an advocate for Alberta.
Caleb died.
Talk to you soon.
Yeah.
Take care.
Right, and then whatever.
All kinds of...
We tried.
We tried, buddy.
It was a clever idea, but it wasn't...
I thought it was pretty good, but I enjoyed it.
Okay, be right back to this.

This comes out of, believe it or not, dolphin research.
The Navy maintains a fleet of dolphins.
And a brilliant veterinarian recognized that these dolphins sometimes developed a syndrome identical to our Alzheimer's disease.
Those dolphins were deficient.
In a particular fatty acid, she replaced the fatty acid and they didn't get the Alzheimer's.
Humans have the same issue.
And we are more deficient in this particular fatty acid than ever before.
And a simple replacement of this fatty acid called C15 will help us prevent these syndromes.
It's published in a recent journal called Metabolites.
It's a new nutritional C15, pentadecanoic acid it's called.
The deficiency that we're developing for C15 creates something called the cellular fragility syndrome.
This is the first nutritional deficiency syndrome to be discovered in 75 years and may be affecting us in many ways and as many as one in three of us.
This is an important breakthrough.
Take advantage of it.

Producer Robin said it's helping her hair grow.
She did say that to me.
And your hair looks good too.
And I said if you want to lose weight, it's a great way to help with appetite suppression too, or appetite management.
All right, our next guest is Peter Downing.
He's the primary founder of the movement Wexit America Fund.
High-profile leader of the Alberta 51st State Movement.
He's a former police officer, Army Reservist.
He used public billboards 2020-2019 to launch the Wexit Canadian Separatist Movement, so-called, and the Alberta USA Movement.
Peter, welcome to the program.
There it is.
Peter, we appreciate you being here and I am fascinated by the movement.
Hey, thanks for having me, Drew.
Pleasure.
So, one of the things that kind of bothers me is this continued talk about Canada not being for sale.
And the reality is the process of becoming a state, a territory, and then a state has nothing to do with exchange of funds.
Where in the world did anybody get the idea that this is a purchase?
It's not the Louisiana Purchase.
It's a formation of a state.
Yeah, I think it was good PR pick to get in the minds of low-information voters who have a personal antipathy towards President Trump.
And so how did you get involved in all this, and how realistic is it?
Somebody was saying, well, California keeps talking about seceding, and Alberta's talking about coming in.
I thought, God, we would get a much better deal.
Let's let California go and bring Alberta in.
That sounds like not even an even exchange.
It sounds like we win with that one.
Yeah, I started back in 2019, and I've been involved in...
Small C conservative politics since about 2015.
Pro-life, pro-family type movements, those sorts of things.
And then I got involved in the electoral politics a little bit more with our version of the Republican, and I say version in quotes, of the Republican Party, the conservative parties in Canada, both at the provincial and the federal levels.
I spent 12 years in federal public service.
I always realized that we weren't getting the results that we were paying for in terms of the public delivery of law enforcement, those types of things.
And I always questioned why.
So it was sort of one track social, one track in terms of public services.
And it was when I realized, and it was just explained to me, you just looked at an electoral map.
