PEACEFUL VIOLENCE IN LOS ANGELES! Canada on the Brink! Some Blake Lively Crap AND MORE!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
You are looking at the waves on the ocean, in their beautiful symmetry, crashing the one after the other.
And there seems to be something that has washed ashore.
When you find out that it's an iguana, you will laugh as hard as I did.
Behold.
Wait a minute, how do I press play?
That's not the right screen, that's why I can't press play.
Alright, I have been jogging on the beach quite a bit.
I have never seen an iguana.
On the beach.
That is so cool.
Damn nature, you look beautiful.
Look at this beautiful face.
He wanted to make friends with me.
What do you say?
Are you trying to fight me?
You are trying to fight me.
Okay, I'll just leave it alone now.
Me neither.
Is that not amazing?
Like, I've been jogging on the beach for going on I've jogged on the beach maybe a dozen times.
I've never seen an iguana chilling on the beach.
I don't know if it was going out there to die.
And I thought it was trying to make friends with me.
Little bastard is trying to bite me.
And apparently they carry salmonella, and if they bite you, then they can put the salmonella right into your bloodstream.
You're dead by dinner.
Holy crab apples, people.
Oh, good afternoon.
We're back to what might be the permanent final time slot.
We're going to see about this, but back to the afternoon show, everybody, and how goes the battle?
You know, it's a Monday.
The Monday's after the Sunday show where we spend three-plus hours talking about all the news of the week, and I say, what's going to happen between Sunday night and Monday, whatever time I go live?
And I always have this bit of anxiety.
Maybe nothing's going to happen.
And maybe we're just going to have to do like an hour and a half of AMA.
Ask me anything.
Yet, somehow, things seem to happen that set the world on fire metaphorically and spiritually and literally.
And we are at another one of those moments.
Iguanas are full of hate.
By the way, just a little PSA, public service announcement for those who don't know acronyms.
Iguanas can whip their tails and break skin.
When they whip their tails, it's like a licorice whip or like a crack of a whip.
They bite, and they're vicious little bastards.
They carry salmonella.
They carry parasites.
If you're ever going to eat iguana, apparently they taste like chicken, and they call them the chicken of the trees.
I have yet to taste iguana meat in my three years in Florida, and it's not for lack of trying.
I've been looking.
So just be careful.
Iguanas whip their tails.
They bite, but they are majestic, beautiful little bastards that are as common in Florida as squirrels are in Canada.
So yesterday's show.
An amazing banger of a Sunday night law for the people episode.
And it seems that we've got macho, macho news to talk about today.
At 4.30, give or take, Lord Buckley, Mark Robert, who is in the eye of the storm, the belly of the beast, soar on...
I don't even remember the reference in the movie.
Mark Robert is going to join us from L.A. He was texting me yesterday during the show and saying, Viva!
This is what's outside my window on whatever highway it is that they blockaded yesterday because it's totally peaceful, totally non-violent, and totally non-insurrection-y.
We're going to get there because it's freaking wild what's going on in Los Angeles.
I have so many videos on cue and I have so many jokes on cue, but I have to wait for Mark to get here at least a little bit more so that we can segue into it.
For those of you who are new, you guys should know who I am by now.
Viva Frye.
Former Montreal litigator turned current Florida rumbler.
David Freiheit.
Author of the children's book, Louis the Lobster Returns to the Sea.
In the process of writing other children's books, There's a Frog on My Dog and what was the other one?
That is another one.
Okay, enough of that.
We're going to get to the show.
We're going to do some updates on some stories that we covered in the last week or two that there have been some updates on.
Then we're going to get into the man of the hour, Mark Robert, when he comes on.
First things first, I should always make sure that we are wonderfully live across three platforms.
I do it on Twitter just because it sets it up in StreamYard.
But this is the Rumble exclusive show and VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com.
And I see we've got some postings from our member of the community, Bill Brown.
It says, Bacon Fact.
Let me just bring this up for everybody to see in real time.
People who eat bacon are less likely...
Billy, you got me in trouble.
I didn't read the meme before.
Well, Bill, now that's it.
Now they're going to think we have an in top.
Oh, we have a wonderful VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com community with good memes.
And this is one of them, which will bring up But I do have some legal analyses that we will get into this.
Flying the flag of a foreign country while you burn shit in the country that you are probably in illegally, and then you have the aiding and abetting of the government officials, that's getting very close to not the erection that Chuck Schumer is hellbent on getting, but the insurrection that they were hellbent on accusing everyone within the Trump administration of partaking in.
Spread the word, by the way, and share the link so that we get the crowd coming here.
Updates of stuff that we talked about previously on Dexter.
Does everybody remember that?
When Dexter used to start and they go, previously on Dexter.
And they would have like the intro summary of the last few episodes and then they would go to the intro.
Last Friday, was it Friday that there was an assassination attempt on the right wing, say right wing, the conservative presidential candidates.
I'm not showing the video because it's upsetting and I've watched it myself because as the video is circulating and you say it's not possible there are not a thousand different angles of this, what I thought was a successful assassination attempt, thus far touch wood, by whatever miracle of miracles it seems to be an unsuccessful assassination attempt or an unsuccessful assassination, a successful assassination attempt, but they didn't successfully kill the political leader.
Or the political candidate.
When the media was reporting that, what's his name?
Miguel Uraib was shot in the back.
And the video footage that I had seen showed it from the front.
And as I freeze-framed, because I don't like looking at these videos, and yet I have this uncontrollable compulsion to traumatize myself by freeze-framing and going frame by frame.
When the news was reporting that he had been shot in the back, and the video that I'm looking at, I thought I saw a moment where all of the hair on his head in a moment of concussive force flew up in the air.
And so then I go and continuing to punish myself, find the news and find the footage of the actual assassination attempt from the back where you see this person who happens to be a 15-year-old kid going through the crowd, pulling out what they are saying is a Glock and shooting the Mr. Uribe point-blank in the back of the head.
I don't know where he hit him.
And then the after footage, there's blood all over the hood of a car where they were administering first aid, trying to prevent the bleeding or stop the bleeding.
And I didn't make the Dexter reference to come back to it as a humorous reference at all, full stop.
You can tell what type of blood bleeding you're seeing, smearing versus spraying versus dripping.
This was a serious amount of blood.
He had been shot apparently in the back of the head and somewhere else in the back, and I'm not sure if he had been shot more times than that.
The update is that apparently he survived.
The surgery has been successful, and reading from ABC News, Colombian presidential candidate in critical condition after assassination attempt.
This is June 9th, so this is today, 1133.
"Colombian conservative presidential hopeful Miguel Uraib "is in critical condition after being shot in the head "during an assassination attempt over the weekend." I asked somebody like, you know, How anybody can possibly survive getting shot in the head?
And the explanation is different caliber weapons, obviously.
And then the explanation is also sometimes there's more or less gunpowder in any given round.
and sometimes some rounds are older than others and don't fire with the same force.
And so by whatever miracle, I don't know how it could happen, After being shot in the head at close range during a rally over the weekend, in a statement, doctors said the 39-year-old senator had barely responded to medical interventions that included brain surgery following the assassination attempt that has had a chilling effect on the South American nation.
Uraib was shot on Saturday as he addressed a small crowd of people who had gathered in a park in Bogota's Medallia neighborhood.
On Sunday, hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital where Uraib was being treated to pray for his recovery.
Some carried rosaries in their hands while others chanted slogans against President Gustavo Petro.
It's terrible.
It feels like we are going back to the 90s.
The assassination attempt!
stunned the nation with many politicians describing it as the latest sign of how security has deteriorated in Colombia, where the government is struggling to control violence in rural and urban areas, despite a 2016 peace deal with the nation's largest rebel group.
Barnes had opined yesterday that, at first glance, or based on whatever we know, whether or not it bears the hallmarks of something that's more cartel-related than political violence, from what I've read, it's...
So there's that possibility.
The attack on Arab comes amid growing animosity between Petro and the Senate over blocked reforms to the nation's labor laws.
Petro has organized protests in favor of the reforms where he has delivered fiery speeches referring to opposition leaders as oligarchs and enemies of the people.
There is no way to argue that the president who describes his opponents as enemies of the people, paramilitaries, and assassins has no responsibility in this.
There is no way to argue that the president who describes his opponents as enemies of the people, paramilitaries, and assassins has no responsibility in this.
Andrea Mejia, a prominent political analyst, wrote on X. The Attorney General said a 15-year-old boy was arrested at the scene.
We saw the videos.
Video captured the video.
Suspect was injured in the leg and was recovering in another clinic on Monday.
So that's it.
That's basically it.
It is interesting to speak of the rhetoric and the rhetoric that leads to assassination attempts and then just to bring it back to America, bring it back to Donald Trump in particular, where you have for 10 years people calling him racist, fascist.
An existential threat to democracy.
He's going to kill women through his abortion laws, even though they are idiots, not appreciating that it's up to every state to do what they want now, as per overturning Roe v.
Wade in the Dobbs decision.
They call him an existential crisis.
He's going to bring us into World War III, literally Hitler, etc., etc.
And then, lo and behold, you have no less than three attempts.
One which left Cory Comparator dead.
Another one with a Ukrainian nutjob waiting in the forest outside his golf course near Mar-a-Lago.
There was a third one there of a guy who pulled a gun at a rally, but that was a few years ago.
And you begin to wonder, like, when you talk about the dog whistles, the one thing is, I'll make a bit of a generalization, and the chat can correct me if I'm wrong, it seems that the political violence just tends, for whatever the reason, by happenstance, to be disproportionately one side of the political spectrum.
It's a weird thing, I would argue, that there is statistical overrepresentation in political violence stemming from the left.
Just throwing that out there, if someone thinks I'm wrong, accuse me of it and I will look at the receipts and admit if I am wrong.
And in fact, it's just my own observation bias that tends to think it's the lefty nutjobs who carry out the biggest, most fantastical acts of violence after having been brainwashed by their Spokespeople on the interwebs.
They're Rachel Maddows.
They're Keith Olbermans.
And they go and carry out their fantasies after hearing the dog whistles day in and day out for a decade.
It seems to be that case.
And that's what's going on with the Columbia update.
Not responsive after getting shot in the head and brain surgery is never good.
So we'll see.
And in as much as you don't want political As if it needs to be said, but it seems like it needs to be said sometimes.
Okay, so that's that.
Let's go into the chat.
The vote is in.
The left is more violent.
No, then they'll go, they'll manufacture those kids.
Look at the right-wing fascist violence.
They'll go to January 6th.
Look at the violence there.
The violence on January 6th were the only people who were actually killed that day.
Ashley Babbitt, summarily executed by Michael Byrd.
Roseanne Boyland, arguably stomped to death, arguably beaten to death, but certainly, as far as my estimation goes, did not die of a drug overdose medical emergency.
So even in that day of right-wing, The only two people to have been killed were protesters who were executed and or beaten to death by responding police officers.
So that's that.
Let me see what's going on.
Did it say that it was glitching hard on Rumble?
Okay, it looks like it's working fine on Rumble.
Over on vivabarneslaw.locals.com, look at this.
See, what I'm thinking, I notice a lot of the streamers, commentators have like a screen that looks like a casino where you have everything going on at the same time.
And I don't know if people like it more or find it distracting.
I'm not sure yet, but over in our vivabarneslaw.locals.com community, Spinnaker Marines are deploying to Los Angeles area.
Move comes in the wake of, oh, now I just lost it.
And it's gone.
That's it.
I can't find the name.
Comes in the wake of weekend protests over immigration.
Senator John Ronson is on redacted, proving Robert Barnes is wrong about the one big, beautiful bill, says Mr. Mike, Mr. Mike.
Well, when it comes to matters of opinion, All right, so that's what's going on with Columbia.
Another story that I've been tangentially following, only because my wife has been following it a little bit.
I say I couldn't care less about it.
I could care less in that it's interesting legal stuff.
The Blake Lively versus...
For those of you who don't know, Blake Lively, I'll have to pull up a picture.
I say sometimes that being unreasonably good-looking is a curse.
It's a curse that I do not suffer from.
And I'm not even talking about Blake Lively for anybody who thinks that that's the only place where I'm going.
What I do find interesting is that Blake Lively looks a lot like What's-Her-Face, the one who I didn't know was going out with Elon Musk.
Her name is Amber Heard.
Blake Lively looks a little bit like Amber Heard.
I think being...
She does look like Amber Heard a little bit.
Anyhow, most people would say that she's very attractive.
Ryan Reynolds, who happens to be her husband, I think most people would say is unreasonably attractive.
If I'm saying this objectively as a man, if I were to look like another man, That being said, I think being unreasonably good-looking is a curse, and I think it plays out the way we're watching it here.
By the way, Blake Lively, not Blake Lively, what's his name?
Justin Baldoni himself.
You know, he's Justin Baldoni.
It's not hard to acknowledge what makes some people objectively, like if there were to be paintings of them in the annals of history, you know, okay, fine.
Some people's type.
Good-looking guy.
All of these people are too good-looking for their own good, and they've gotten themselves into trouble.
Blake Lively accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment, of making scenes in their stupid-ass movie Too Sexy.
Ryan Reynolds apparently...
And I don't care how confident you are in your masculinity, but maybe Ryan Reynolds is not that confident in his masculinity.
You don't like seeing your wife pretending to be sexy time attracted to another man, even if they're acting.
And I don't think people can act that good.
I haven't seen the movie.
What's the movie?
It ends with us.
I'm not going to see it.
I don't care about it.
So bottom line, she accuses Justin Baldoni of sexual improprieties.
And I believe she sues him.
He then countersues her for $400 million for defamation.
Tries to get text messages in involving Taylor Swift.
This is a big, stupid fight among the Hollywood elite.
And Justin Baldoni sounded like he had a decent case for his counterclaim for defamation, arguing that this was orchestrated between Blake Lively, Stunning woman and her equally attractive husband, Ryan Reynolds.
And he had his lawsuit tossed today, at least for the time being, on the basis that Barnes has said it time and time again.
If you want to defame somebody, just sue them because you get to defame them with immunity and with impunity so long as you defame them in court proceedings.
Now, there is, in fact, a legal threshold limit to that.
You don't get to say whatever you want with immunity and impunity in legal proceedings, but you get to say a lot.
And Justin Baldoni's $400 million counterclaim, countersuit in America, against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds has been dismissed for the time being.
Judge granted motions to dismiss Justin Baldoni's lawsuits against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist and the New York Times.
Let's get to this here.
Get these things out here.
How do I get these stupid windows out?
Here, close that.
And let me see how big the text is here.
So I'm going to open this up and zoom in a little bit.
Here we go.
Beautiful.
In a major setback.
No crap.
Yes, having your lawsuit dismissed is a major setback.
The end ends with us.
Director, star, counter suit.
By the way, you're going to direct the movie also?
You're going to get a woman in it and you're going to ask her to get all cozy and cutesy and whatever.
Um, I don't, I don't.
You get yourself in trouble.
I don't know how Vincent Gallo I've never seen the movie and I don't plan on seeing it at all.
It's just one of those stories that you know about from cinema where you direct a movie and you direct a scene that involves the lead, Chloe Sevigny.
If you don't know this, Vincent Gallo, The Brown Bunny was the movie.
And Vincent Gallo had the greatest idea.
I'm going to direct a movie that I star in, that I've written, that I'm going to have a scene of fellatio and ask the director, the woman, the lead actress, to fellate for the sake of art.
And she did it.
I don't understand how she never sued him.
Although, I guess they agree to it.
How there hasn't been some sort of hashtag me too on that.
So, you direct a movie that's going to involve these highly intimate scenes.
You're asking for trouble.
Keep your schmeckling in your pants.
Stay out of the pedophile, sex, demonic, degenerate industry that is Hollywood.
And even if you are of the good people, you'll still get into trouble.
I don't know if Baldwin isn't good.
Whatever.
Okay.
On Monday, June 9, Louis L. J. Limon granted the motion to dismiss the $400 million lawsuit filed by Baldoni and the Wayfair parties against Lively AL, which alleged extortion, defamation, as well as $250 million defamation lawsuit against the Times.
The judge noted, though, that Baldoni's legal team can still amend the claim for breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract if they chose to with a deadline of June 23. So it is not all lost.
And for those of you who don't understand this legalese bit, I think you all do because you've been around the channel for You can have a lawsuit dismissed without prejudice, which means you can have a certain time frame within which to amend to satisfy the weaknesses of the lawsuit that led to it being dismissed.
or if the judge wants to be a hard ass, they dismiss it with prejudice, meaning you cannot amend and refile.
So basically the judge is saying here, look, I'll dismiss the defamation side because it sounds like, But if you want to amend, hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, you have until June 23rd to do it and add some allegations about breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract.
And then I do wonder whether or not you could invoke judicial immunity or litigation privilege to defend against implied covenant and tortious interference.
You have to have an underlying tort for tortious interference.
Filing a lawsuit is not an underlying tort, unless I guess it gets declared to be frivolous or abusive and vindictive and whatever.
Okay.
The Wayfair parties have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than statements in her CRE complaint.
CRD, what was that going to stand for?
I don't know.
Which are privileged, Judge Lehman wrote in the opinion and order filing viewed by the people.
I couldn't find the actual order itself in time for this live stream.
The Wayfair parties have alleged that Reynolds and publicist Lessee Sloan made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfair parties of engaging in a smear campaign.
But the Wayfair parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloan and the Times, The judge added, the Wayfair Party's additional complaint claims also fail.
Accordingly, the amended complaint is dismissed in its entirety.
Attorneys for Baldoni did not immediately respond to people's requests for comment.
Now I've seen two different actually, now that we read this, we've seen, I've seen two different explanations This one seems to be suggesting that they didn't prove actual malice or that on a motion to dismiss they hadn't shown actual malice or that they didn't think they were false when they said them.
That might be for the publicists.
The other explanations I had heard is that they were alleged in litigation and therefore privileged.
Attorneys for Baldoni did not immediately respond.
Lively's lawyers, as Mike Gottlieb, called the decision a total victory and complete vindication for the actress.
And the others whom Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer dragged into the retaliatory lawsuit.
As we have said from day one, this $400 million lawsuit was a sham, and the court saw right through it.
They said in a statement, adding that we look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorney's fees, treble damages, and punitive damages.
The Wayfarer say, perpetrated this abusive litigation.
Well, it's interesting.
McCauley, an attorney representing Lively's publicist Sloan, says in a statement, Leslie Sloan has consistently said that she never defamed Baldoni or the Wayfarer parties, and she was wrongfully dragged into the lawsuit because the Wayfarer parties wanted to actively harm Sloan's reputation.
Today, the decision makes it clear that Sloan did nothing wrong.
Sloan stands fully vindicated.
Justice has been served.
I suspect he's going to appeal that.
Or at the very least, amend and refile so that he can have a certain complaint, claim on tortious interference.
Yada, yada, yada.
Lively.
Okay, then that's it.
Lively37.
recently agreed to drop two of her claims against Baldoni intentionally in a move to Scrap that.
Let me just double check something because I was certain.
Baldoni case dismissed litigation privilege.
Yeah, it's legally protected and therefore immune from suit.
Either way, so Baldoni's going to have to think.
I was not into the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard lawsuit.
And by the way, when I remember the times that my predictions were wrong, and I said, you know, Johnny Depp should not sue Amber Heard because what will come out of trial will make both of them look bad.
Well, I was wrong about that.
Or it might have made both of them look bad, but it made one of them look like a psycho-vindictive biatch, and I'm not talking about Johnny Depp.
I'm not particularly into the Baldoni case, although a lot of people are, and I'm keeping up with it because every now and again, Megyn Kelly and the team calls and says, Viva, we'd like you to come on, and we're interested in the Baldoni case, so I'm keeping up to date with it.
That's the latest.

Lord Buckley, I don't know if you're joking or...
Mark, you're my hero.
By the way, notice Mark is not smiling.
I think I detect genuine rage right now.
Is there a problem here?
Is there some sort of a problem, Viva, in Los Angeles that I should be aware of?
Can I ask you a serious question?
That's absolutely a real shotgun.
What's that?
That's a real shotgun.
Uh-oh.
Lord Buckley, can you hear me?
Yeah, it's bouncing back.
I'm getting a double feed on the audio.
You might need earbuds.
I have earbuds.
I'm wearing earbuds.
Maybe do you have two windows open?
Thank you.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm wearing the earbuds.
Let me get rid of one of the feeds.
I think we're okay.
Okay, good.
Lord Buckley, that's a real shotgun.
Of course it is.
What am I, in the prop business here?
I'm pretty insane.
Real shotgun.
No, I'm in the movie prop business.
But now we know that even props are still real guns, Lord Buckley.
Yeah, no, this is a Mossberg.
This is a police special.
I mean, you have to take evasive action here at any moment's notice.
this.
This is a riot season.
Dude, it's well, first of all, I've got I've got all the links set up here.
Cool.
May I ask, what the fuck is going on, Lord?
You're looking out your window and you're seeing stuff?
Well, it's not out my window, but it's fairly close.
I mean, I live in East Hollywood, which is East L.A. I mean, so most of the activity is in East L.A. because of the federal building, because of the courthouses.
In this particular riot scenario, But generally speaking, they have sent in the National Guard, which does absolutely nothing because they are protecting federal property.
Those National Guard are not really involved in any of the things that happened yesterday because they just have been directed to protect federal property.
Okay, now, actually, I said, I presume everybody already knows who you are, but in case they don't...
at Lord Buckley on Twitter.
Mark Robert, we don't need to get into all your credentials, but I've been a reporter for the L.A. Weekly, as an investigative reporter for the L.A. Weekly.
I've worked at local newspapers here.
I've been a media figure on the scene here locally for 30 years.
And I know this city very well.
I know politicians very well.
I have sources here very well.
So that's one area of my life, but it may apply to this particular episode.
Now, the press vest that you're wearing, is that a stab-proof or is that a bulletproof?
Definitely stab-proof.
Definitely bulletproof.
Okay.
Double barrel action on that.
That's so wild.
First of all, okay.
Okay.
So, Mark, you're in the belly of the beast right now.
Before we even get into the clips that you've sent me, What the hell is going on?
I've got a bunch of questions.
We're going to go, you know, a bunch of stories.
Well, when you say what the hell is going on, I mean, that's kind of a general question.
I mean, the reality of it is we've had riots here as long as I've lived here.
I mean, going back to Rodney King, I mean, this is not new because Trump is president.
We've had riots in Republican administrations, Democratic administrations, no administrations.
Riots over the Lakers winning, riots over the Dodgers losing, riots because Mel Torme, the Velvet Fog, did not appear at the concert one night.
I mean, it's just a panoply of reasons to riot here.
The fact of the matter is they are understaffed with police.
The police are ordered to not interfere.
It is a dance that both sides do that are both quite used to the dance.
Let me put it that way.
We have a zero.
Lawsuit policy.
In other words, anyone, this has evolved over 20 years, but anyone who sues the LAPD for excessive force in one of these protests, the city of L.A. has voted to pay the person out without a trial.
Think about that as a lawyer, Aviva.
If you lived in a city where you can be hired for any single case of police misconduct against your client, and it's an automatic, no trial.
Automatic payout is just a subject of negotiation as to how much you're going to get as an attorney.
So you have that situation there.
You have an understaffed LAPD.
You've got about 8,000 LAPD officers.
It's normally 10,000, which is about 10,000 under what it should be.
And then you've got about 9,000 sheriff's department and various California Highway Patrol who come and go.
Depending upon the situation.
So the situation where they're sending in the National Guard, they sent in 200 National Guard, but that's merely to surround and protect federal-owned buildings.
So they're not involved in the run-and-gun operations that we're talking about and seeing on the videos yesterday.
Now, that being said, just to anticipate your questions, I think I can jump pretty far ahead.
These people are super organized.
I call them, as I said to Robert, they're called Lantifa.
It's a combination of La Raza and Antifa.
This is not the white Antifa from up in Portland and Seattle.
This is a spinoff, and I don't mean that officially, but I mean this is a spinoff of La Raza utilizing Antifa tactics.
Not that they're an official chartered member of Antifa, but I'm calling it Lantifa because this is not white kids doing this.
This is Central American and Mexican flags being flown here.
This is a Mexican pushback against this, against, you know, revolting against the pushback of the federal government to decipher and to take out the criminal element in Los Angeles.
Now, Los Angeles has, if it was a city, if the LA illegal community was a city, it would The LA illegal alien community within the city is estimated in the low estimate as 1.5 million illegal aliens, Viva.
That would put it as the seventh largest city in the United States of America.
And that means services, that means food, that means Medi-Cal.
That means free everything for an additional city within your city.
I don't think people really understand L.A. and how it works, and it's important to understand it.
I know people say, ah, go fuck yourselves, but it is, you know, one of the largest cities in the country and also part of one of the largest, the largest state in the country.
Well, and, you know, people talk about the homeless population, which I think is like 140,000, 150,000.
I'm not even counting them.
No, I know.
And then people say, that's massive.
That's a small town.
That's bigger than, well, it's not a big city.
This is one and a half million.
I brought up your graphic to show the relative size.
Like, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, Texas, Austin, Texas, lower populations than the illegal immigrants.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People don't get the size of this thing.
I want to bring this one up just because it'll be the intro joke to the rest of this.
When you can't decipher satire from reality, and someone says, why does this shit happen under Donald Trump's watch both terms?
And this person could have been a MAGA Republican illustrating the fact that the lefty nutbags wait and riot when Trump is in power because that's what they do.
Or it's just an absolute dense lefty who doesn't understand that it's the modus operandi.
But it's simply not a true statement.
I mean, like I just said in the opening statements, they have rioted during every single Democratic administration and every single Republican administration.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump.
This guy doesn't know Los Angeles history.
Well, my takeaway, but my point to that was that, you know, the Summer of Love happened because they are angry at the political results, and so they burn shit down.
They do it again now.
There's two angles to go with that.
I was told by the LEPDPIO that it was peaceful, and they thanked the protesters for remaining peaceful.
And yet this guy, also on the left, saying, why does this always happen?
Why?
If it's peaceful, it'll...
You have Karen Bass coming out, the mayor.
It's an amazing thing also.
What's the population of L.A.?
3.8 million.
The county's 10 million, but I think it's 3.8 for the city.
So you have a state that's the size of Canada population-wise.
Yeah.
You have the general, the broader area, which is the population of a third of Canada.
LA itself, it's half of the entire province.
Well, not only that, you have a city within a city is what I'm trying to imply here with this illegal community.
It is literally an entire city within a city.
With no boundaries.
And, you know, they could cry and make all these, you know, personal storylines, which they do every time policy changes, they go personal.
When personal changes, they go towards policy.
And I mean that as a propaganda tool.
So they'll show you the woman who, you know, works three jobs, who's been illegal for 10 years, you know, and she's indoctrinated into the community with her children.
Okay, they're completely illegal aliens.
I get it.
But what about the grandfather?
Who lives in Seoul, South Korea, who's been waiting 10 years to come to Koreatown to see his grandchildren, who are now 10 years old because he's been doing it by the book, applying to get visas to visit the United States, to visit his grandchildren, who don't have, he doesn't have the ability, nor the wherewithal, nor the desire to break federal law and fly to Mexico City and drive in through the southern border.
What about all the normal people who have been doing this by the book, Viva?
Nobody ever interviews them.
The second point of contention, and you'd like this as a lawyer, is simply dropping the word allegedly from your client being an alleged murderer.
And the reason I mention that is because what they do is conflate the word immigration with illegal immigration.
They never delineate, and that's intentional.
They always say we're a city of immigrants.
This is an immigration issue.
It is not.
It is an illegal immigration issue.
They refuse, and the media refuses.
If this was a black suspect in a murder, and someone didn't say alleged murder suspect, they would go batshit fucking crazy.
The reality of it is they allow them to say immigrants instead of illegal immigrants.
That has to be stopped.
There are immigrants who are totally, has nothing to do with anything about this issue.
Well, I mean, they're calling them undocumented citizens, Mark.
I mean, that's part and parcel of the battle as well.
Right.
When you drill down as to who they are, they will say undocumented citizens or, in the terms of homeless, are unhoused neighbors.
You know, that's a Marxist device to, you know, change the lexicon.
But I'm not even talking about that.
I'm talking about Karen Bass coming out with statements today saying this is a city of immigrants and this can't continue.
Well, it's also a city within a city.
Of illegal immigrants.
Let me play this one because there's a part of this that's just magnificently astonishing in terms of a public admission that people don't pick up.
I just have to say that, again, our city has been through a lot since the beginning of the year.
Because of you!
Because this idiot didn't have water in the fire hydrants.
They don't take care of the forest industry properly.
Yeah, they've been through a lot because of her negligence, and now they're understaffed in terms of police and not enforcing the law because activism.
Thinking that there is a large percentage of our city that is terrified, that is not going to know if they go to sleep tonight, and they go to work or they go to school, will that be the last day they do that?
Will that be the last day they see their family?
I'll pause it there because the rest is irrelevant.
Yeah, it's totally irrelevant because she's created...
A large portion of the city that she's now admitting publicly are illegal aliens.
Because if it's illegal, you don't worry about getting deported.
Right, that's what I'm saying.
If you're in fear of getting deported, good!
You should be in fear.
And then what she's admitting now is they've created a problem so...
That it's inhumane to solve it.
And this was the plan all along.
In fact, these riot dances with the LAPD have been so well choreographed over the years that what they're really complaining about is Trump throwing a monkey wrench into their phony riot dance.
I'll just give you an example, because you guys were talking about this yesterday, about these pallets of bricks that Barnes was talking about being brought in.
There are pallets of bricks all through downtown because of construction projects.
What you guys don't understand is the Lantifa will come with one backpack on their back.
This is all trained out.
They will come with a backpack on their back.
What is in that backpack?
One cinder block is in the backpack of each person coming to the protest riot.
They then will take their hammers and break each cinder block into throwable rocks.
But I want to give you the physics on how this works.
They will sometimes just smash it through the bag or take out the cinder block and smash it.
but everyone has one cinder block.
There's no need...
I'm not really sure about that.
There's plenty of pallets of bricks all around downtown Los Angeles for failed or ongoing construction projects.
But I just want to give you the flavor of how they do this.
And because I brought up the Soros bricks not to suggest, not to affirm it because that was my question.
I had seen reports like about the, about the, um, Those cinder blocks yesterday.
And then another person said, no, that's outside of a Home Depot.
The pallets sit around, they get left there, and they're useful.
There are plenty of them around.
There's plenty of them around.
What I'm talking about is a specific thing.
When you see those guys with ball-peen hammers chopping up the curb, they are trained to do that in their training seminars.
Each guy has a different role.
Each guy has a different part in this thing.
This is part of Antifa, but it's also part of La Raza.
Part of what I'm describing, the single cinder block phenomenon, is for, you know, at a minimum to come with the one cinder block, because you can't even carry two, it's too heavy.
But you'll see what they're doing at the LAPD headquarters last night, taking their skateboards and smashing the windows without any response from LAPD.
They're not allowed to respond.
What Karen Bass was doing last night She deleted all of them after the fires and the L.A. Times is suing her to retrieve the deleted emails from and text messages from her phones.
She's willing to take that political and legal hit to prevent authorities from legally, which you have to do for two years.
You have to maintain.
She's going to do the same thing with what happened the other night.
She was on the phone with her hand-picked drunken chief of police, Jim McDonald, telling him to, and running the operation, telling him to stand down.
While federal officers were being assaulted, LAPD was ordered to stand down until late in the night when they were finally relieved to show up.
I want to do this in real time so that nobody thinks there's any doubt.
Berger bass under fire for deleted messages during LA wildfires.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Catherine Berger is facing growing scrutiny over her deletion of text messages during the devastation.
Devastating January wildfires, joining Mayor Karen Bass in drawing criticism for record-keeping practices during a critical public emergency.
We can go on after that.
Yeah, no, but they're actually being sued by the LA Times, and I believe that Harvey Dillon and the feds have a right to physically seize these phones before they're deleted, and you will see Karen Bass acting as a military general.
Ordering the LAPD what, where, and when to do.
And I have said this for many years, you have to make it illegal for big city mayors to handpick their own chief of police, thereby giving them an entire army, Viva.
I presume, I'll double-check this as we talk, that there's already existing laws on deleting official records and not preserving them.
Has Karen, at least in the context of the LA wildfires, has she admitted or denied or offered an explanation as to why she admits it?
There's absolutely no explanation.
In fact, that's why the LA Times is suing her.
She just said she deleted stuff that was of no importance.
That was her explanation.
She said she deleted stuff of no importance.
Okay.
That's a load of crap.
All right.
Yeah.
Then we were bringing this back to...
Yeah.
We talk about insurrection as a joke in respect of January 6th because calling that an insurrection is a joke.
Right.
This really starting to smell like the actual legal criteria of an insurrection, especially with the denials of the law enforcement that are no longer maintainable denials.
L-A-P-D-P-I.
We want to thank our peaceful protesters.
And then we have, I mean, you sent me so much, I can't even, I can't even bring it.
Oh, you can, any way you want.
I mean, you can run whatever you want.
The shot of the California Highway Patrol SUVs, this one here, this is underneath, this is the 101, for people who don't know.
This is right before you get downtown on the 101.
Every single protest that has occurred in L.A., they allow the protesters to get on the 101, which is the main thoroughfare from Northern United States.
all the way, you know, as far as it goes, they allow them to come down the ramps onto the 101 and stop all traffic, backing it all the way up to Sacramento.
It's for people who don't understand this, who've never been to L.A. The physics of it.
This is the artery.
This is the artery through L.A. Right.
So when they come down the ramps, the LAPD tries to stop them.
They put up a feeble attempt of trying to stop them.
Then they get onto the 101, and they block traffic for 700 miles up the California coast, all the way backing it up, all the way to Oregon.
Okay, that's their move.
Everybody knows that move.
What happened here was, They abandon that overpass and each overpass going all the way back.
But this is the one which is downtown.
That allowed them to take these giant chunks of boulders and drop them onto the California Highway Patrol SUVs, destroying them and injuring them.
You'll see the cops underneath there cowering, rightfully so, underneath the overpass.
There's thousands of people over that overpass dropping large sledges of brick and blocks from the road onto the cars below and then later setting them on fire.
The point of the matter was Any military person would seize the high ground, would have common sense, any Marine, if there was a Marine commandant running this thing at a Camp Pendleton, which is what Hexstaff is hinting is going to happen, they would immediately seize that overpass.
Immediately seize that overpass so this couldn't happen.
LAPD did none of that.
That's not LAPD down below.
That's California Highway Patrol and LAPD, by the way.
And they allow them to get onto the freeway.
And block the entire thing.
And then they begin this slow dance of nicely pushing them back, Viva.
Let me bring up the Gavin Newsom business here.
I'll bring up his video afterwards.
But Trump gives blunt response to Newsom daring home and to arrest him.
I would.
This is what you call the wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
And if you're talking about a dance, this is like, this is Trump saying, You're like begging for action from the DOJ.
Now he's begging Homan to do it.
President calls Newsom grossly incompetent amid LA chaos.
President Donald Trump suggested he would be willing to arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom if his administration obstructs ICE operations amid riots in Los Angeles on Monday.
Trump made the statement in a brief exchange.
He's daring Tom Homan to come arrest him.
Should he do it?
Deucey asked.
I would do it if I were Tom.
If I were Tom, Trump responded.
But he's not Tom.
Well, Gavin likes the publicity, but I do think it would be a great thing.
He's done a terrible job.
just, just bring this back here also, by the way, and I'll bring up another clip of, Well, keep in mind that he controls the California Highway Patrol.
Karen Bass controls the LAPD and indirectly controls the Sheriff's Department because they put in, they installed this guy Luna, who is a lapdog to her.
And they had Villanueva, who was a Trump guy as the head of the.
The LAPD chief is handpicked by her.
So she's literally between the two of them controlling like a 30,000 man army within L.A. That has been thrown a monkey wrench.
Wild.
Let me bring this one up.
If anybody's doubting whether or not it's a tyrannical abuse for Trump to threaten this, listen to Gavin Newsom.
Let me make sure the audio is not too high.
I hate his voice.
I hate his face.
I think he's an actual, you know, he's the embodiment of a human demon.
Listen to this.
The fear.
The horror.
The hell is this guy?
Come after me.
Arrest me.
Let's just get it over with.
Okay.
All right.
You know, I don't give a damn.
But I care about my community.
I care about this community.
The hell are they doing?
These guys need to grow up.
They need to stop.
And we need to push back.
And I'm sorry to be so clear, but that kind of bloviating is exhausting.
So, Tom, arrest me.
Do you know what?
Does everybody understand what bloviating means?
Like, people don't understand what bloviating is.
Someone talking a whole lot of shit and doing nothing.
Right.
Gavin Newsom, what he did in that 30 seconds is bloviating.
Come and arrest me.
I dare you.
That's bloviating.
They should come and arrest him.
What he's basically saying right there, this community.
What community is that?
Are you as governor, in the face of these riots, actively interfering with the...
Their defensive policy is to allow people to vent and destroy.
I'm not even making this up.
Their defensive policy is to do this dance with them, allow them to destroy property, which they have said they don't care about, and allow the people to vent over a fill-in-the-blank episode.
Lakers win championship, destroy property vent.
Lakers lose championship, destroy property vent.
Trump does this, destroy property vent.
It doesn't matter what the cause is.
This is the first time they have ever responded to a riot.
You've got to understand something.
Normally, there's no response.
Normally, it's turned over to LAPD.
They put out the mostly peaceful statement that you rightfully put up.
There's never a response from Gavin Newsom during regular riot season.
The only reason they're responding now is Trump has thrown a medical and military monkey wrench into their dance of death.
That's why they're freaking out.
Now you've got someone who's in a boxing ring with you.
They didn't predict that.
The model does not allow for the president of the United States to come in here and dance in the ring with Gavin Newsom.
That's not their model.
No, and at this point, if they're basically saying it's a state protecting illegal aliens, defying federal authority and federal enforcement of federal law, It's not a question of retaliation.
Well, I've said for years they should have previously taken the idea, the concept of sanctuary cities, sanctuary states to the United States Supreme Court and rectified this entire thing years ago.
Just because I say that you can have slavery in Oregon today doesn't make it a slave state.
That's essentially what they're doing.
This is George Wallace standing in the door of the University of Alabama.
Well, the Kennedys decided we're going to send down federal marshals, and that allowed these students to go into the school.
I mean, Eisenhower did the same thing with General Walker in Little Rock.
I mean, just because you say it so does not make it so in terms of state versus federal law, Aviva.
I've never understood it ever.
I mean, I understand in Canada, Or I shouldn't say they don't enforce it, but there's a bit of a nuance in terms of enforceability because RCMP doesn't get to go on native land because it's sort of not under federal jurisdiction.
But not, and the last, there was a time when they tried to do it and it ended up with the Oka crisis and a standoff and a police officer got shot.
But this is, this is not like tribal...
This is some group sitting around smoking weed that came up with this idea of a sanctuary city.
It's not a legal term.
It has no gravitas.
You're not a Canadian schnook.
This is a situation where clearly federal law trumps some law that, not even a law, it's a concept.
They came up with.
I'm trying to think of an analogy.
What is sanctuary cities?
It's a special place you can't go in?
I mean, it has no meaning.
I just want to see.
I want to look up what is federal murder.
So federal murder is the unlawful killing of a human being.
It applies to murders committed on federal property like military bases, federal officials, or whatever.
Okay.
Imagine if there was a federal murder.
And someone was in a sanctuary city, and they say, we're not going to let the feds come in and arrest them.
It's as stupid and as baseless.
Yeah, they're just cherry-picking the law that they're sanctuating.
Keep in mind, they could say it's drug use.
They could expand it to heroin freedom, heroin use.
They can expand it to psychedelics.
They can expand this to any law they don't like by the federal government if this continues.
Why stop an illegal alien law?
Why stop immigration?
Why not expand sanctuary cities?
Create an entire separate society if you want.
I mean, where does it end?
I mean, I think it ends with...
You change the representation in the House.
Everybody knows the game.
The point is, the entire legacy of Donald Trump rides on what's going to happen in the next two weeks here in Los Angeles.
His entire immigration policy, there be it his entire legacy, if they get him to back down by rioting and looting, the victory dance will be massive.
They will do it in every city in the country.
I just got word from my New York police intelligence connections in New York.
They are fearing the same thing happening to New York if it's successful here.
If they're able to pull this off in LA, they're all going to recreate the model in other major cities.
This is going to make or break the Trump administration by what they do here in the next two weeks.
As far as you know from your sources, the people participating in it, is it the...
It's not the white liberals.
No, it's a Latin La Raza people.
This is Cesar Chavez, La Raza, Mexican, owns California.
This is taught to them from grade one.
Illegal or legal, whatever you are, if you're a Latino here in L.A., this is part of the public school system of indoctrination into the Mexican Californication.
If you want to read Victor Davis Hanson's book.
Which I highly recommend about how this happened.
You may want to look at that.
But the reality of it is, this is part of the La Raza movement, a far-left socialist movement that's come and forced out of Central America and Mexico because of failed policies there.
They've established a beachhead here.
They're waving Mexican flags.
They interviewed a girl yesterday saying, why are you waving a Mexican flag?
She said, I completely support the country of Mexico.
And they said, are you willing to live there?
And she said, are you fucking crazy?
So you have this insane thing.
When our relatives came here, Viva and my relatives came here from Poland and Russia, they did not bring Polish and Russian flags and wave them.
Burned everything from behind and kissed the ground when they got here.
This is La Raza, social justice.
He's on it right here.
Read that La Raza definition.
The La Raza movement refers to a collection of social and political movements, particularly during the 60s and 70s, that advocated for the rights and empowerment of Mexican-Americans and the Chicano community in the United States.
It encompassed various aspects, including cultural, nationalism, political activism, and community organizing.
Let's see here, a political act.
The La Raza, meaning the people or the race, became a rallying cry for the distinct Chicano identity, emphasizing shared cultural heritage and commitment to fighting against institutional race.
This sounds like Marxism, but the- It's Marxism with a Latin spin.
It's also their version of BLM.
So it's got all those elements.
Social justice here.
The Loraffe movement addresses issues of social inequity, economic hardship, and police brutality, advocating for improved educational opportunities fairly...
Right, but this is a specific Southwest movement.
The center of it is in Los Angeles.
It operates out of Phoenix.
It operates out of the Southwest.
It is a completely indoctrinated movement here for many years.
And this is what he's up against.
I mean, these people are not all illegal aliens and criminals.
If you look at the crowd yesterday, a lot of students, a lot of young kids at the age of 9, 10, 11 out there throwing bricks.
And they're enablers who are the commie Marxist Karen S's of the world.
Well, again, here's a woman who met with Fidel Castro seven or eight times.
She was involved in gun running down to Fidel's Cuba.
She is an avowed Marxist.
She was in an election which counted for over a month until Rick Caruso, who didn't bother to oversee the counting, he was boxed out by the communist registrar of Los Angeles from overseeing the counting of the votes.
Rick Caruso ran for mayor against Karen Bass.
He went to bed with a lead, Viva.
Does this sound familiar?
And a month later, he lost the mayor's race to Karen Bass.
We're going to get into some of the clips.
Let me just pull up one thing here and then a second thing afterwards.
Biltong is in the house.
There's a specific message for you after this one, Mark.
King of Biltong, premium Angus and Wagyu Biltong from Biltong USA.
High protein, no additives, authentic handcrafted meat snack, naturally air-dried and delicious.
Go to BiltongUSA.com.
Use code Viva for 10%.
This is not a sponsor.
Anton has his own channel.
Wow.
He's awesome.
says viva can i send mark some biltong he seems like a great guy and i think he would enjoy What is it like?
It's beef jerky, but it's sort of Yeah, you can send it.
Sure, don't put my address here, but I mean Yeah, okay, absolutely.
It's all I need.
I got enough problems here.
So is that a, how many, how many, how many rounds does that shotgun?
Oh, no, no, you don't.
This one holds seven.
Don't answer.
I don't know what's legal in California.
I'm not getting you in trouble.
It's not a question of legality, but it's just a question of seven rounds.
They might have some crazy laws in California.
I would love to see Governor hair gel in a cell.
We've suffered long enough, and this is Mark's normal game attire.
Game day.
Go Giants.
Padres tonight versus the Dodgers down in San Diego, by the way.
Big series.
Next time you're in Florida, we're going to a ball game because my kid has gotten into baseball card collecting.
You know why?
Because he's a heterosexual young American boy.
And you are stunned that I gave him that ball and glove and you were like looking like, where is this going to lead?
It's only going to be good, Viva.
Well, no, what's amazing is he loves the baseball cards.
I was like, if you're going to get into this, now we have to follow the rookie cards.
Yeah, absolutely.
You got to collect all the rookie cards.
The kid knows more than you.
It's a damn shame.
I didn't know this when I was a kid, but I'm collecting the UFC cards and I'm collecting them.
Oh, that's all right.
That's okay.
Okay, let's go through some of the clips that you sent me, Mark, because they're flipping beautiful.
Roll it, Floyd.
Roll them.
We won't play all of them because there's too many and they're too long, but you're going to tell us what's going on here at Contextual.
Yeah, this is the skateboard division of Lantifa.
They've been assigned to break the windows at LAPD.
Headquarters.
Now, this is not a public library, which you think, okay, this is the actual headquarters of the L.A. Police Department.
This is what they're doing last night.
No response.
No response.
All night.
I guess they're wearing glasses.
Yeah, they wear goggles.
My nightmare is to either get glass in my eye or to inhale a piece of glass.
Well, they have gloves to avoid the shards and also wearing goggles.
Mike Benz posted this.
You sent it to me.
Here are rioters smashing the windows of the LAPD headquarters one day after the LAPD called them peaceful protesters.
And that's the statement from the LAPD.
The point of the matter is they know the lay of the terrain.
These are not random.
They divvy up the city and they go to work.
As professionals, this is not random violence, and it's obviously not peaceful protest.
They are really savvy about how the highways work, how the streets work.
Every nook and cranny of this city, they know it like the back of their hands.
People want to say, like, you know, they're Soros bricks, but maybe it's not quite that simple, but this is Soros.
These are NGO activist organizations.
Like these people have some sort of, Is there a money trail to follow that leads back to Soros?
They don't reveal in the Craigslist ads where their source of the money is.
That would be retarded.
But there are ads in LA Craigslist.
Each week for protests, for money, looking for strong guys, rough guys, big guys.
You could take that for what it's worth.
It doesn't say where it comes from, but somebody's paying them, and it's not listed in the ad.
First of all, we just got raided.
I don't know who raided us, but thank you for the raid.
And we're also featured on the front page now.
So we've got a big audience.
And I don't do this often enough, but...
This is Mark Robert at Lord Buckley.

I'm saying clip this, clip this, and share it and put it on blast.

Encrypt us, what's up?
The raid was by me.
I raided you from my Grace Shara live stream.
Well, just as a moment of plugging for two seconds, Viva has agreed to come on my new channel on the 25th of June.
We're going to go Wednesdays at 6 o 'clock with all my different friends.
Coming on the channel one-on-one.
This is separate from my work with Eric on America's Untold Stories.
This is a new channel called What's Up with Lord Buckley, where we're going to cover a lot of pop culture and political stuff, and Viva's agreed to come on.
Absolutely.
You'll see a lot of other familiar friends over the next couple of months coming on there.
Is it What's Up or What's Up?
Yes, What's Up.
Yeah, W-A-S-S-U-P.
With Lord Buckley, with a question mark, on YouTube, not on Rumble yet.
I wouldn't mind being on Rumble, but I've had the channel for a while, haven't done anything live, but because of the forces of nature torturing me, I'm being forced to go live on Wednesday with Steve Gibb, an old friend who is the son of Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees, and he's going to tell you incredible stories of Michael Jackson being his babysitter growing up in Florida.
Are these rated R stories?
No, no, no.
There's Mambo Mouth with Leguizamo that I produced in New York in 1991 where we won the Obie Award for that and me with Emeril Robinson.
There's a bunch of random different interviews at this time, but we're going to go live on Wednesday and then Viva.
We're going to have him on, Hunley on, hopefully Barnes, one-on-one interviews.
With the person.
I'm going to actually interview Viva.
So I'm doing my job as an interviewer.
We're going to find out how Viva got this way.
His youth, how he ran away from home one time, and he lived in the woods in Saskatchewan looking for Bigfoot in 1989.
I mean, we're gonna dig deep on Viva next Wednesday, the 25th.
If a lot of, like I say, if things, We'll get into it.
Okay, so hold on.
Hold on.
All of the English plugs.
Everybody, plug it all.
Subscribe, and you know what to do.
Louie the Lobster returns to the sea on Amazon.
Let me bring up some more videos.
That's funny.
I've got to write the sequel to it.
No, no, no.
Okay, so now we're looking at C3.
We've got to give everybody the credit here.
Yeah, this is the looting that begins.
Again, they were saying there was no looting last night because they go to bed at like 9 o 'clock.
But this is the looting that began downtown last night.
Go ahead.
Because there's a number of different actors, many of whom are just not interconnected.
I would imagine the looters are just opportunistic.
We see the opportunity.
We have nothing to do with La Raza.
Let's go get some free stuff.
Well, they're all interconnected.
The point of the matter is the downtown area, which is where the riots took place last night, these are retail stores downtown L.A. This is separate from West L.A., separate from Santa Monica, separate from all the way out there.
The reason they're looting there is because the protests were there, because that's where the House of Detention is and the federal building.
And as I say, they're not related.
I just saw the Mexican flag right about.
It's the same people.
Amazing.
And so this is all going on as the This is around Spring and Temple and First Street, the epicenter of this thing.
Oh, yeah, the Nike and Adidas stores, right.
Yeah, so let's just show.
Go ahead.
Way too loud.
Takeover things look scary.
I mean, this is why I Oh, yeah.
I think they're trying to get into that T-Mobile.
Oh, there you go.
Look at this.
Oh, yeah, they are.
They're breaking into this T-Mobile right here.
This is lawlessness!
Unmolested, no police, no anything.
Oh, shoot.
They just got in.
Okay, close that down.
What they do is they declare an area, after it's over, they come in in a wedge, in a mass wedge, declare an area banned from anyone being there.
But that's after the damage is done.
That is intentional.
That is their game.
This is how it rolls out here.
And the problem is, all of those kids know the game.
They all know they're not going to get shot.
They can't get beaten.
They can't get manhandled.
They can't be tasered.
Think about it from their point of view.
Nothing can happen except a one-on-one takedown and being taken off the playing field and then released in the morning.
That's the worst case scenario.
It's by design.
Yes!
What do we got here?
I hope you're sitting down, but the looting phase of Los Angeles rights that Gavin Newsom wants you to believe isn't happening is happening.
This is from Kevin Dalton.
I know this guy.
I tried fixing the system by working with the system.
Now I'm doing it my way.
I think we just saw this, so maybe we could move on to the next one.
It's so loud.
It's so loud.
Yeah, go ahead.
It's a little different.
Okay, so looting.
We got looting.
Okay, we understand.
This is going on while they tell us peaceful protests.
Right, absolutely.
But I'm saying a lot of this happens a little later at night.
They're not going to do this at three and a half.
Now, this is the overpass that they're trapped under on the 101 down in Alameda Street.
I mean, it's like, I don't wish it.
There's no fear hiding a wish.
It's just not a reasonable response to use lethal force.
Right.
These people would be, they wouldn't mind if a brick killed one of these cops and you wouldn't be able to pinpoint whoever did it.
Of course, absolutely.
In fact, they're just shooting tear gas.
One of the cops is going to get hit with a giant chunk of concrete in a second.
They're shooting tear gas and rubber bullets.
They've been sued for using rubber bullets.
This has now gone so far as to not be able to even defend themselves.
Jesus Christ.
Right there.
Oh, he gets hit.
Yeah, he goes down.
He goes down.
Wait, sorry.
I keep missing it.
That guy right there would knock his helmet off.
Right there.
He's picking up his helmet.
Oh, they think it's fine.
He got hit in the head.
Yeah.
By the way, what I'm saying is this should never have been allowed, this overpass.
Everyone there should be arrested.
Kettle them off and arrest each other.
Right.
They refuse intentionally because they're following the mayor's office's micromanagement of the riots.
Everybody, like, getting hit on the head with a helmet, you still get a concussion under there.
No, no, no.
He knocked his helmet off.
Even with the helmet, it's not a magical barrier.
It transfers the concussive force.
It's just less lethal.
Let's just see what happens when we play this remote.
It's wild.
You know, just a CTE for the rest of his life.
Chronic, what is it called?
Chronic traumatic encephalitis?
Yeah, oh, yeah.
So who are these officers right now?
These are California Highway Patrol officers from the state, and they control 101 because it is a state highway.
So anything that happens on 101 is controlled by the California Highway Patrol.
Okay, so they're under Gavin Newsom's jurisdiction.
Yes, absolutely, yes.
And then who is under Karen Bass's jurisdiction?
The LAPD, and then the Sheriff's Department is in theory independent because he's elected.
The sheriff Luna is an elected official.
So in theory, Wild.
This is coming from Andy Know, who we all know.
Antifa, Mexican nationalist rioters in Los Angeles use a stolen refrigerator as a makeshift shield against federal law enforcement.
In Compton, the rioters are part of an insurrection against the government.
He's right.
And keep in mind, they have Roman candles and rockets themselves, the protesters, and flashbangs.
They chuck M-80s and some stronger fireworks at the police all the time.
These are all them doing this.
What's amazing is, in Canada, we cannot legally buy M-80s.
We can get pretty powerful fireworks, but not stuff that's available here.
All smuggled up from Mexico, by the way.
But M-80s, well, whatever it is, M-90s, those blow people's heads off.
Absolutely.
It's an eighth of a stick of dynamite, I think.
It looks fun if it's just from a weekend activity perspective in terms of, like, if you do this for fun, like they had PayPal.
Look, they're not waving the flag of Poland.
There's one country we keep seeing the flag of, and that's Mexico.
How much more information do we need?
I mean, what else?
I supposed to take out ads on TV?
I don't care if you lived here three weeks or three years.
What difference does it make?
It doesn't matter how long you've been here illegally.
The fact is you're waving your battle flag there.
Grobert, let me see.
We've got a couple more.
Look, I love tacos as much as the next guy, but this has gone too far, Viva.
Go ahead.
I'm not even a fan.
With Brennan.
Oh, and hold on.
I hear encrypted.
What's up?
Yeah, I have a question.
So if they're showing this flag, if they're fighting, wouldn't that be legally an invasion and allow the military to actually take control?
I think so.
And apparently the Hegsaf thinks so.
And apparently the Trump administration thinks so.
I don't think you need the flag to do that.
But I mean, the flag literally is saying, come and get me.
I dare you.
I'm from Mexico.
I'm here with my army.
You know, it could be a guerrilla army.
They're not wearing uniforms.
But what difference does it make?
Not that they deserve to set themselves on fire.
This is wonderful.
This will show you how to do it.
A step-by-step anarchist cookbook on how to blow a car.
Watch this.
This is how you do it.
This is peaceful protest, by the way.
They're so stupid because the vapors of that gas, if it ignites right now...
Oh shit, I didn't know that the vapors are actually explosive, but the gas is flammable.
Let me tell you what they were doing with the Waymo cars yesterday.
They kept ordering the Waymo cars by cell phone, and Waymo cars kept showing up.
On purpose, because they ordered them to come to that location.
And one by one, they torched them until Waymo, and I was on Twitter saying it, Waymo Headquarters, which is owned by Google, finally cut off a transmission to come to that area digitally and electronically.
But they were ordering cars to their death.
Robert, I'm sorry, Mark, I don't think many people know what Self-driving cars, they're huge out here now.
They've been driving around with no driver for a couple of years, and there's tons of them in LA.
The brilliant Lantifa strategy was to simply order them to come down to the protest where they torched them.
It's literally the scene out of the end of the world, their movie that Barack Obama.
I mean, it should look like the scene at the end of the Joker.
What was the one, the end of the world movie where the Teslas or the automated cars were driving themselves?
Oh, that's the one Obama produced.
Yeah, what's the name of that movie?
I forgot.
Something tomorrow?
It's literally what we saw.
They're just ordering the cars drive to their demise.
Holy hell.
The LAPD put out a press release saying you're inhaling noxious black smoke from the batteries, and they were just posing for hours and hours and hours doing remotes from the tops of those cars that were on fire.
Holy hell.
By the way, just so everybody understands out there, gas in liquid form is flammable.
The vapors are explosive.
That's what people do.
You douse a bonfire with gasoline, the liquid will burn.
The vapors are what explodes.
And that's why you see it go and you learn Now, Trump yesterday said, I am going to make it illegal to wear a mask at a protest.
Good luck with that, enforcing that law, because I don't know how that works with half the people wearing COVID masks anyway.
But it's ineffective for LAPD to use tear gas on these people.
And here's the last one.
Mark, you can come over to Locals for a little after party?
Yeah, sure.
Okay, awesome.
And then this one is what?
Oh, dude on a scooter tries to ride into LAPD during the anti-ice rides.
It doesn't end well for him.
Okay, and the crowd goes bananas.
Hold on, I kind of want to see what happens.
I've seen this already.
It's quite funny.
In a sick way.
Uh-oh.
Well, if you see the people, see the top of the screen?
Yep.
This is like something out of Gladiator because thousands and thousands of people are up above and that ramp is occupied and the other side is occupied.
The northern lane, this is the southern lane of the 101.
You're looking at a Gladiator-type crowd up above of thousands of people that have taken the ramp.
Once you get that ramp, then you are easily onto the access.
And they know this.
Instead of taking a car and blocking the ramp or using barricades, they are allowing them every single riot to get down to this battlefield.
It's six lanes of highways that are off.
And I don't understand how they have the balls to come out and say it's peaceful.
It's outrageous.
Let me see.
We've got to raid the extravaganza.
Who's up there?
Before you do that, there is a tip relevant to the conversation before we hit that.
Oh, you know, I'll do that.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
the raid cuts it off.
So, okay, after that, I'll read the, the remaining tipped questions, Let me bring my screen back up here.
Boopsy says, can we bet that local news there in California is controlled by Newsom and the people don't know the worst scenes?
Yeah, I can address that.
What they do is they show these non-scenes going on on local news.
And they go out for their stand-up at 8 o 'clock at night when the show is on.
They do a live stand-up or the 11 o 'clock news or the 10 o 'clock news locally.
And they go to a place.
Sometimes they show some footage.
But everybody just waits till that's over.
And then the looting begins and the real activities happen.
If you wait till 11 o'clock, the local news is over and you can do what you want.
So what's keeping Hexeth and Bondi or Bondi from arresting Luna for treason would be the wrong word, but something seditious, sedition or whatever, or aiding an insurrection from dereliction of duty aside from not...
No, just balls.
Just having balls.
I mean, it's really, you know, you could do what you want.
If he wins, he wins.
If you take in, which I recommended, if you take down the chief of police and the head of the sheriff's department and say, we're going to charge you with obstructing felony federal law being utilized here, flip them.
Make them flip and turn on bass.
What is so difficult about this?
These guys are literally the sock puppets of the mayor.
Make them flip.
Charge them.
I mean, this is DOJ 101, Viva.
I don't disagree.
Mr. Mike says, Lord Buckley Pentagon to deploy 700 Marines to Los Angeles, officials say.
We got an article from Reuters, but from what you're explaining, if it's to defend or protect This is out of Camp Pendleton down in San Diego.
They're going to send up 700 Marines who are going to surround the federal building in West L.A. They're going to defend this building here in downtown L.A. They're not going to engage in hand-to-hand combat with these protesters.
You're going to stand in there and protect the building.
So we'll see where that goes.
But, I mean, Homan says, or even Karen Bass said she spoke to Tom Homan yesterday, and the reporter asked her at the press conference, what did he say?
She said, he said nothing.
He just listened to me.
You know, I'm going like, oh, lady, please give me a break.
Tom Homan is like kind of an extroverted guy.
But the reality of it is the raids, according to both sides.
Are supposed to go on for at least the next two weeks here in LA.
And if they pull the plug on that, that Trump is going to really lose a lot of gravitas in terms of his immigration policy.
If he folds the cards now and does not double and triple down, they will celebrate this as a Marxist victory in their Marxist city, which they have taken a number of years ago.
Amazing.
We are going to bring the party over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com, take some Q&As directly, the locals link.
Let me put this here for everybody.
Mark, I don't know what the gun laws are.
In Canada, you can't have a shotgun with more than five rounds in it, but I don't know if that's the same in LA.
No, it's not.
Okay, good.
Come to Viva Barnes Law.
Dotlocals.com.
What a beautiful place that is, actually.
And if you're not, we're going to raid Extravaganza, who is now, if I'm not mistaken, on the front page of Rumble.
They are.
When you get to Extravaganza, let them know from whence you came and drop some Viva Raid in the chat.
Encryptus, are we good to go?
And we're going to have some fun on the local side of things.
Lord Buckley on YouTube.
Lord Buckley, sorry, on Twitter.
At Lord Buckley, it's what's up?
Yeah, the new YouTube channel is What's Up with Lord Buckley.
And then, of course, America's Untold Stories, Tuesday and Friday with Eric Conley.
Just wildly amazing.
You'll get smarter, almost as smart as watching a Sunday night show with Viva and Barne.
That's a lot of Kennedy stuff, which will remain there with our news on Friday.
And then on my channel, I'm going to start doing some personal interviews of friends and people deep dive into show business, into the weeds of show business, Viva.
Let's roll.
I'm not coming to L.A. anytime soon, so you're here.
We're going to go.
Go to a ballgame.
Yeah.
And a UFC fight.
Let's do it.
I've never done that.
I've never been in a UFC fight.
I was at an amateur fight once upon a time.
Okay.
We'll talk about it on Locals.
Everybody who's not coming to have a good afternoon to see them all.
Can we just roll over?
