Time Text
The day is Friday the 13th.
Viva Frye, in an attempt to make everyone happy, has decided to start off today's show not only with a discussion about Israel, but with a video of Bibi Netanyahu, because this will surely bring both sides together and will cause the chat to remain civil and, above all else, logical.
I present to you, Bibi.
Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation.
To roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival.
This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.
For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction.
They've backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons.
In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium For nine atom bombs.
Nine.
In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before.
Steps to weaponize this enriched uranium.
If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time.
It could be a year.
It could be within a few months.
Less than a year.
This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival.
Eighty years ago, The Jewish people were the victims of a Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazi regime.
Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a victim of a nuclear Holocaust perpetrated by the Iranian regime.
Now, as Prime Minister, I've made it clear time and again, Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation to develop the means to achieve that goal.
Tonight, Israel backs those words with action.
We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment program.
We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponization program.
We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz.
We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb.
We also struck at the heart of Iran's ballistic missile program.
Last year, Iran fired 300 ballistic missiles at Israel.
Each of these missiles carries a ton of explosives and threatens the lives of hundreds of people.
Soon, those missiles could carry a nuclear payload, threatening the lives not of hundreds, but of millions.
Iran is gearing up to produce 10,000 of those ballistic missiles within three years.
It's a much longer press conference.
The amazing thing is, you know, I know the degree to which I loathe Hillary Clinton, Kathy Hochul.
Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, Mark Carney.
And when they speak, it makes me like almost physically ill listening to them.
I appreciate that there are people out there who loathe Netanyahu to such a degree that listening to him talk is tantamount to listening to the Hillary shrill, the Kamala cackle, the Justin Trudeau.
There is a meme going around, and you should be careful, double-check, triple-check your homework, people.
There's a meme going around, now that we're listening to Bibi Netanyahu yet again talk about how close Iran is to developing nuclear weapons.
It could be weeks, years, months.
Let me get the meme.
The meme probably should not be repeated, because I'm not convinced about the accuracy of the meme to the letter.
Accurate in spirit, maybe.
Because we've heard Netanyahu talk for, I would say decades almost now, a very long time, about how close Iran is to getting nuclear weapons.
Repeatedly over and over again, but not like this.
When something is a screen grab at people, I'm not trying to put power up.
I just saw this going around, and it was a meme that was almost too perfect, too convenient to fit the circumstances, which caused me to question whether or not it was sufficiently accurate.
Don't fall for the meme, I would say.
Double check, because as far as I can tell, no, this meme is not verbally, verbally, literally accurate, though it might be in spirit.
Netanyahu has been talking about Iran's capabilities for some time now, and the reality is, They've been pursuing this for years.
And I think if there's one thing that we can probably all agree on, let's just say you hate Netanyahu, you hate Israel, you hate Zionism, and you take the painstaking gymnastics of the mind to distinguish that from Jews in general.
Okay, fine.
Fair.
I think we can all agree that we would not want to have a nuclear-armed Iran.
Objectively, Iran sponsors terrorism.
Some of you might want to say that's not terrorism, it's resistance fighting.
They objectively fund terrorism and or what the terrorist sympathizers would want to call resistance.
I think we can all agree that we would not want Tehran or Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
With that said, I think we can also say that we don't want to get...
I think we all would be of the opinion that more wars in the Middle East, I wouldn't say they don't serve anybody's interest.
They don't serve the right people's interest.
And when you have Netanyahu, who has been We're licking at the chops for a war with Iran for years, decades, possibly.
Now, on the eve of what looked like might have been something of successful potential negotiations between America and Iran in order to ensure that Iran does not pursue a militarized nuclear weapons program.
And then on the eve of that, you have Israel going in and striking Tehran.
But if you don't know the details of this, because it happened yesterday, and it's, you know, You're going to want people intimidated by the intel.
You're going to want people intimidated by the operation.
Operation Rising Lion.
Not an overnight operation, by the way, which leads to some more questions, is as you have Donald Trump's administration trying to work a deal with Iran, you have Israel behind the scenes planning this operation.
For years, apparently.
Inside, this is the secret war with Iran.
That's my footstool because my feet don't touch the ground.
Inside Israel's secret war with Iran.
This is coming out of Fox News, so take it with the grain of salt that you think is most warranted.
Mossad commandos, hidden drones, and the strike that stunned Tehran.
It's like PR for Israel's intelligence.
Mossad worked with a huge number of people.
A mass of agents deep inside Iran operating at the highest level of penetration imaginable, says senior Israeli security official.
I don't think anybody wants a nuclear-armed Iran.
In ordinary circumstances, one would say, all right, anything that puts them back in their nuclear military aspirations would be good.
I read this, and you know the very same questions I asked on October 8th.
For a country that has intelligence, Assets.
Security.
That is second to none.
And now they're describing what they did in Tehran.
My obvious questions are, what in the name of sweet holy hell then went wrong on October 7th or before?
Didn't have any of this stuff.
From the beginning, you have had the people who want to see conspiracy, want to be blackpilled and whatever, and you can't blame them saying, my goodness, this October 7 atrocity People want to say, oh, okay, it wasn't 1,200 people.
Okay, it was 1,200 people, but 500 were caught in crossfire, friendly fire, as we call it.
Discussions that you'll never get to the bottom of because you can't agree on reality.
How did October 7 happen to that extent?
And people were saying, well, it's an atrocity that will be exploited to annex more territory in Gaza.
And as a pretext to go to war with Iran.
Do recall, let me bring this back out for a second.
Do recall, one of the conspiracy theories about 9-11 and October 7 was compared to 9-11.
Is that 9-11 was used as the pretext to immediately invade Afghanistan because Osama bin Laden was behind the 9-11 attacks.
And then tangentially as the pretext to invade Iraq, because Iraq, And so 9-11, the catastrophe that it was, the official narrative, many of us still don't believe.
Building 7 didn't fall down on its own.
9-11 was used as the pretext to invade not one but two Middle Eastern countries.
Afghanistan, then Iraq.
Regime change in Iraq on a pretext that has turned out to be a historical lie.
And not a historical inaccuracy.
It was a known lie at the time, but when you have two reports prepared by intelligence, one says they have it, one says they don't, and you rely on the one that says they have it in order to justify a regime-change war, you've lived a lie.
And once you've lived through that lie, you then look at all other lies and say, holy crabapples, they've always been lying.
9-11 was the pretext to invade Afghanistan, was the pretext to invade Iraq on the basis of weapons of mass destruction that never existed, and it was known at the time.
People were afraid it was going to be used as a pretext to annex more of Gaza, and that has happened, and used as a pretext to start a war with Iran, who backs Hezbollah.
And now that seems to be happening.
Listen to the details of this and always compare it with the catastrophic intelligence failure that was October 7th at the very beginning.
Catastrophic intelligence failure by the most sophisticated intelligence agencies on earth.
Listen to what they did here.
Israel's overnight strike on Iran was not only one of the most ambitious aerial campaigns in recent history, it was the result of years of covert planning, surveillance and infiltration by Israeli intelligence.
Bulldozers and paragliders.
While dozens of fighter jets bombed nuclear and military targets across Iran early Friday morning, the groundwork had long been laid by Mossad agents working in lockstep with Israeli military.
The same Mossad that was derelict leading up to October 7. The left in Israel says that Netanyahu Let it happen on purpose to justify annexation.
The right says that Mossad let it happen on purpose to make Netanyahu look like an incompetent leader to oust him from power.
Codenamed Am Kelavi, Rising Lion.
The preemptive operation was the product of unprecedented coordination between Israeli Air Forces, the military industrial directorate, Mossad, the country's defense industries.
For years, they worked shoulder to shoulder to gather the intelligence files needed to eliminate Iran's most sensitive military and nuclear assets.
Senior Israeli intelligence, Mossad worked with a huge number of people, a mass of agents deep inside Iran.
Operating at the highest level of penetration and management, some of the agents were restrained as commando fighters to carry out mission critical operations.
The work culminated in what the official described as a three-layered strike.
We eliminated vast areas of Iran's surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missile infrastructure, a massive number of senior scientists, and large portions of their air defense systems.
We established a drone base inside Iran, and at zero, our Mossad operas have retrieved them from the hiding spots.
We placed precision missiles on numerous vehicles and embedded additional missiles throughout the country, hidden inside rocks.
We activated this entire array in precise coordination with Israeli Air Force.
They launch strikes, yada, yada, and we get into the rest of this.
This is what they did here.
And October 7, bulldozers and paragliders, because they were too reliant on the Iron Dome, and it took 12 hours, 12-plus hours in some areas for the Israeli defense to respond.
And it's not for lack of asking the questions that the answers haven't been forthcoming, but those answers haven't been forthcoming.
And so the question is this right now.
What in the hell is this?
Netanyahu sabotaging Trump's attempts to finally have a lasting peace in the Middle East.
Is this Trump using, I'm referring to them as a sort of a Michael Bolton, not a Michael Bolton, John Bolton?
John Bolton.
Type mad dog negotiating partner to weaken Iran and then make them more amenable to something of a negotiation.
I'll pull the chat, or at least I'll pull it with my eyes visually to see what people think.
Let me bring up a few things here because it's quite amazing what we're seeing on the internet in terms of takeaways from this.
White House Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this last night.
Let me make sure this is last night, June 13. Yeah, last night.
Statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran.
We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.
Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense.
President Trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners.
Let me be clear." Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.
I hate, let me be clear, people.
Even when it's someone who I like and or respect saying it, it says nothing except cast suspicion on what's about to be said.
Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.
So the question is, what the hell's going on here?
It sounds like the White House yesterday is, to some extent, if not throwing Israel under the bus, saying, Ally or not, we can't control them.
They announced what they're going to do.
We're not going to hold them back.
Maybe we tried and we couldn't.
Maybe they're humiliating us and now we've got to sort of throw them under the bus.
You got Marco Rubio, Secretary of State.
We didn't know about this.
It's unilateral.
Iran, don't attack us because we've got nothing to do with it.
Okay.
Then we got Donald John Trump in a post from Michael Trace.
Let me see when this post was.
This is June 13, 5.56 a.m.
Assuming he's in the same time zone as us, the man is up early working hard.
Donald John Trump on Truth says, quote, or I'm quoting him, I'm reading his post, I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal.
I told them in the strongest of words to, quote, just do it, end quote, but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done.
I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told that the United States makes the best, And most lethal military equipment anywhere in the world, by far.
And that Israel has a lot of it, with more to come.
And they know how to use it.
Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen.
They are all dead now.
And it will only get worse.
There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal come to an end.
Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.
No more death, no more destruction.
Just do it before it's too late.
God bless you all.
That's an interesting post.
Then you got Michael Tracy, who I'm sort of having a bit of a...
Saying, pundits and influencers last night.
Quote, Israel has made a mockery of the USA.
This is deliberate sabotage of Trump.
Netanyahu must pay.
I don't know who was saying that, but let's just assume that he's Hyperbolically summarizing what some on the right are saying.
Influencers, I don't know what that word means anymore.
Let's just say some people are saying something like that.
Trump within hours takes credit for the war.
Trump can always be relied upon to swiftly humiliate his most deluded and sycophantic boosters.
In response to that tweet, I read the post.
I don't see where Trump takes credit for the war.
Maybe I'm just a sycophant.
And that was Mike Tracy's pithy, pithy response.
I said, it's interesting spin.
Or interpretation, and I know people will accuse me of similar spin or interpretation.
I do not read this as him taking credit for the war.
I see it as him using Israel as a convenient tool in the negotiations, although as Trump does not, cannot control, almost as though Trump does not, cannot control Netanyahu, which might piss a lot of people off here, which comes with its own problems, but distinct from the accusation that he's taking credit for the escalation.
It seems he's sending a message to other countries that America's weaponry should instill fear, which is a distinct message to convey.
Who might he be talking to?
Vicariously, indirectly, maybe Russia.
Who can convince me my interpretation is wrong?
I gotta get the pithy Twitter response from Michael Tracy.
I'm just gonna go to my Twitter for you.
It drives me nuts.
To some extent, I recognize I can be a pithy asshole on Twitter, and it's deliberately when I do it.
But even when I'm a pithy asshole, I asked Mike Tracy.
There we go.
Oh, no.
In response to that, he says, you're a great example of the deluded sycophants I was referring to.
To which I respond, no substance, just ad hominem.
Once a liberal, always a liberal.
That's ad hominem.
You got anything of substance to respond to that?
So the question is this.
What the hell is going on?
Do I have the video of Trump talking about Michael Bolton?
It's not Michael Bolton.
It's John Bolton.
I know I have it here.
I got it in the back.
George, do you remember what Trump said about John Bolton?
That he was a madman, but a useful madman?
And that maybe, you know, there hasn't been a massive rallying cry to support Iran, even among the Middle East.
And so maybe even the neighbors of Iran don't want a nuclear-armed Iran and don't mind letting Israel be the bad guys that do it.
And maybe Trump?
who doesn't mind negotiating with Iran, but certainly doesn't want to see them become nuclear capable, doesn't mind a mad dog Bolton of a nation taking out whatever you The nuclear stuff.
Nuclear capabilities Iran has.
Refresh your memory about what Trump said about mad dog Bolton.
Bolton.
A real dope.
But I thought he'd be great.
Because he was so stupid.
He was like a boiler.
Every time...
If somebody shot down a little tiny crappy drone that cost about $15, he'd want to go to war with Russia.
I said, no, I think...
He was great for me, though, for a period of time, because he was a nut job, and everybody...
And this was good for me.
I went to Kim Jong-un.
In North Korea, I took this moron with me.
And he never said anything.
But when Kim Jong-un saw him, he said, oh, shit, I think the guy wants to go to war.
So he was great for me to negotiate with.
The same thing with Russia.
You know, when Putin saw him, I'd be very nice.
I'd say, hi, Vladimir, how are you doing?
And then Putin's, you know, two rows back.
And he'd see that moron and he'd say, holy shit, this guy wants to go to war with you.
And I got a lot of what I wanted.
And I got a lot of what I wanted.
First of all, Trump could be Stan.
What makes him so amazing is that he is basically a stand-up comic of the highest caliber.
That's Joe Rogan.
Apply Trump's description of Bolton mutatis mutandis to Israel and Netanyahu.
Brianna Morello.
And this is not to put anybody on blast.
This is a legitimate disagreement and respectful disagreement.
And also, I'll pick the brains of people who I disagree with.
Brianna Morello, yesterday, in respect of this, said, if Iran strikes Israel, we need to sever ties with Israel.
Enough is enough.
Then someone thinking it was an own on me says, did she still take sides with the ones who chant death to America or did you help her see the light viva?
And I said, what's wrong with her tweet?
I can appreciate people saying, we don't want...
And if they go against our foreign policy in an overt way that compromises our national security and the national security of our personnel in the area, I can see people saying sever the ties with them.
That might be a knee-jerk reaction, however, and I would say maybe.
First of all, there's nothing wrong with that tweet.
It's a legitimate, you bet, sever ties with Ukraine.
Nobody has problems saying that for some reason.
Ukraine is on the verge of getting Europe And the world into World War III with Russia by doing provocative things like drone bombing their nuclear bomb or their aerial bombers deep within Russia.
And there's a lot of people, myself included, end it.
End the support.
Sever the ties with Ukraine.
So anyone's going to feign outrage that someone says the exact same thing with Israel?
But Israel's an ally.
Well, people say Ukraine's an ally.
At what point does an ally cease being an ally if they stop acting like an ally?
So there's nothing wrong with that position.
I would suggest, however, that there might be a deeper play here, which is to let Israel take the brunt of the negative publicity and the blowback of potentially weakening Iran so that they then sit down for negotiations on better terms with Trump.
It's possible.
Whether or not it's true, whether or not it's accurate, whether or not it's my favorable interpretation.
The irony is someone's going to accuse me of being biased and partial with a favorable interpretation.
That interpretation makes Israel look bad.
That interpretation makes Trump maybe look a little bad.
That, okay, he doesn't have full control over them, so he's trying to spin it in his favor.
Or he's trying to use the fact that he doesn't have full control over them for his personal benefit.
At the end of the day, the buck would stop if Trump says, you guys stop now.
So we'll see.
But that is the news coming out of Israel.
And now that we've started on the stuff that makes everybody happy, hashtag sarcasm, now we can move on to the other stuff.
Good afternoon, everybody.
How goes the battle and what is up?
On the interwebs.
About time?
To be honest, says Chlorofin.
I'm going to read all the chats because some of these might have to do with the first topic.
Before we get into the news of the day, Alex Padilla is a piece of poopoo.
But we'll get there.
Chlorofin says, it would only take one time to decimate Israel, a small country vulnerable to a few nuclear missiles.
Israels have no choice but to do what they can to protect themselves.
Well, that's the question.
But then the question is also, what does protect themselves in the long run?
And then, you know, anyhow.
Israel has the right to protect itself, and the question is, is what it's doing protecting itself?
LQM07.
I think they became a member now.
LQM, welcome to our VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com above-average community.
Spam Ranger in the house on local says the problem with The simplest bomb is two uranium half spheres in a cannon barrel with an explosive charge on the one side.
But that design is big and heavy.
And Shailina over on our locals community says, I'm just thinking here, but could it be possible that all the schmoozing Trump did in the Middle East had underlying discussions that if it comes to Iran and Israel has to act against them?
Could there have been underlying discussions to let them do what they need to do?
Well, I say that the biggest telltale sign here that it hasn't pissed off too many people in the region is that it doesn't seem to have pissed off too many people in the region.
And we do tend to forget.
I mean, maybe we don't.
There is no allied front within the Middle East.
Iran was at war with Iraq.
Everybody's at war with everybody.
And the neighbors to Iran don't necessarily mind seeing a decimated, nuclear, incapable Iran.
Then the only question is, if it's regime change, who then replaces the former regime?
Does it get better?
Does it get worse?
Regime change, in my lifetime at least, has never worked.
Chat, correct me on that.
Has regime change in my, I think the answer is a cold, hard no.
But that being said, that's it.
We move on because I hate talking about Israel.
There's no way that I can have this discussion without people saying everything, viewing whatever I say through the lens of identity politics.
To them, I say you can kiss my bottom.
But those are my musings.
Those are my meanderings.
I don't trust any government of the world.
Period.
Full stop.
So I will not trust Netanyahu, nor do I trust Netanyahu.
Between living in Israel versus Iran, I'll live in Israel.
Between living in Israel and Canada, I'll live in Canada.
And between living in Canada and living in Florida, I'll live in Florida.
All right, peace.
If you don't know who I am, Viva Frye, former Montreal litigator turned current Florida rumbler.
The Daily Show.
I hate to use that word because my show is much better than The Daily Show, which is a piece of propagandist rubbish.
Three o 'clock on Rumble.
We go three to four-ish before we raid the next channel with our viewership.
And then we have our vivabarneslaw.locals.com afterparty.
And we talk about the law stuff and everything that's going on in the world.
And that's it.
If you want to follow me on Twitter, The Viva Fry, vivabarneslaw.locals.com, snip, clip, share away my insights or share a way to make fun of me.
And tell me where I got something wildly wrong and where I'm wildly stupid.
Okay, to the news of the day.
I have a question, and I put it to an open question on Twitter, which is only going to be accused of being a loaded question, an accusation, whatever.
Secretary Noem, Kristi Noem's press conference yesterday that Padilla interrupted.
Was it an official government proceeding?
Many of you are going to know exactly where I'm going with this.
There are judicial proceedings.
There are government proceedings.
And I, you know, Canadian civil lawyer, former, schnook, know nothing about American criminal law, American politics, other than what I've learned over the last seven years, which is a whole hell of a lot.
But I ask the question because I sincerely want to know the answer.
And we'll see if the aggregate knowledge of the Twitterverse has procured us an answer.
Probably not.
Okay, well, that's not a right answer.
Good question.
Well, that's absolutely with no source.
We need sources for this.
Now, we were looking in the backdrop trying to do these things, you know, pull up judicial obstruction is different than obstruction of a government proceeding.
One interpretation said it's loosely not necessarily defined.
If it's an official press conference for an official update on official government conduct, it could potentially be qualified as such.
For those asking, Schnuck is the lesser version of a schmuck.
Schmuck is rude.
Schnuck is an idiot.
Schmuck is a dick.
So now you've had, So let me get this out of here.
So that was my question.
For reasons that are obvious as the sun is hot, Alex Padilla had his moment yesterday.
You understand what it means when you throw a brick through your own campaign headquarters and then hold a press conference to say how you were attacked?
Alex Padilla wanted everything that happened.
He would have been happier if he'd gotten tased.
There would have been a bigger sacrifice to take for the team.
He had his momentary outburst of the most scripted and juvenile type.
He did not get arrested, people.
Make no mistake, but When I make a point later on, you're going to understand why I'm making that distinction.
He didn't get arrested.
He got detained.
Is he going to sue?
Who knows?
He wasn't clear about that on a press conference.
He's doing the tours of media now, the legacy propaganda media.
We don't know if he's going to sue.
Maybe.
We'll see.
Mayor Baraka over in New Jersey thanked Alina Haba for dropping the charges for a trespass with a civil lawsuit.
No good deed goes unpunished, and when you use...
So Bongino yesterday takes to Twitter and says, rightly, people don't seem to understand this either, saying your Senator Alex Padilla is all fine and well.
I can say that too.
It doesn't make me Alex Padilla.
Dan Bongino tweets out yesterday with regard to the incident in LA this afternoon.
The senator in question was not wearing a security pin and physically resisted law enforcement when confronted.
Our FBI personnel acted completely appropriately while assisting Secret Service, and we are grateful for their professionalism and service.
Thanks.
Agreed.
And I say Padilla is a jackass who acted like a jackass and got what he deserved.
The only problem is he also got what he wanted, which is to get arrested because his one, what is the hell?
His followers are idiots who will gobble this up and cry authoritarianism.
And if you haven't been on the interwebs today, One idiot sycophant after another.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.
Now they've crossed the line.
Oh my god.
It's almost as though they've forgotten that they arrested the former president, leading presidential candidate, and perp-walked him in Georgia.
It's almost like they forgot that they arrested his lawyers and forced some of them into plea deals.
It's almost as if they forgot that they tried to lawfare.
into jail, lawfare into bankruptcy, and assassinate the former president and now current president.
And they want to cry about some jackass getting arrested for acting like...
Detained for acting like a jackass.
Padilla is doing the media tour now.
And I listened to an interview with him on MSNBC.
Pravda Extraordinaire.
And I have a very critical thinking mind in that I can detect lies.
I've studied philosophy.
I used to be a lawyer.
And I can pick out lies pretty easily, especially when you contradict yourself three times, maybe more, in the space of nine minutes.
It's I've got a decent memory.
And I put together a bit of a montage of Alex Padilla contradicting himself and acting like a total jackass in his public statements that many people might This is him on MSNBC earlier today.
Forgive the edit or appreciate the edit, depending on which way you want to go with this.
If this can happen to a United States Senator for having the audacity to ask a question I have such a problem keeping my mouth shut.
The framing, the dishonest, all I was doing was asking a question from the same people who say to the Tucker Carlson's You know what you're doing when you're asking questions.
All I was doing was asking questions.
If this can happen to a United States senator, you tried to lock up the president, you dumb asses.
You locked up 1,500, 1,600 January Sixers with no due process whatsoever.
And I'm not saying return the favor.
I'm saying you guys are a bunch of hypocritical, commie, Marxist pieces of shit.
But you know that.
Now I'm going to shut my mouth.
I'm going to let it play through.
Take one last sentence.
There's nothing left.
If this can happen to a United States senator for having the audacity to ask a question.
Sir!
Sir!
Hands off!
-Hands up.
Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the secretary, because the fact of the matter is a half a dozen violent criminals that you're rotating on your on your HANDS OFF!
Do you know how tall Alex Padilla is?
Even assuming you know who it is.
That man is 6 '3".
That man is a solid foot taller than me.
That man, you can tell in his voice, was unhinged.
You know when someone's...
It's the sincerely enraged people that throw shoes, pull out knives, assault.
Go look at the dude who jumped over the judge's bench and assaulted the judge.
That's what they look like.
The fact that he says he's Alex Padilla, no ID, despite being a senator, I think they have government-issued IDs.
But no, no, it was abusive.
He said he was Alex Padilla.
Oh, listen to this.
Secretary Noem said that you, quote, lunged towards her.
At this press conference, the Department of Homeland Security said the Secret Service believed that you were an attacker.
And the Department of Homeland Security called this political theater.
What's your response and what's your version of it?
Well, first of all, that's ridiculous.
It's a lie, but par for the course for this administration.
They were not communicative until somebody from, I'm sure, Secretary Noam's team figured out I was who I said I was and finally said, let him go.
Oh, oh, they...
Oh, I said I'm Alex Padilla, so I therefore get to interfere with, obstruct what might be an official government proceeding, Kristi Noem giving an update on what's going on in L.A. Secretary Noem said that you, quote, lunged towards her.
At this press conference.
What do you call this?
And I'm sitting in the back of the room, behind the cameras, behind the reporters.
By the way, listen to how he explains how he came in there.
He wasn't even in the right room.
He was watching it in another room, and he got so angry at the lies he came in, and then he's behind the cameras, and he got so angry he had to come in front of the cameras and lunge at Kristi Noem.
listening, listening.
And at one point it was just, I have questions for the secretary.
There was no threat.
There was no lunging.
I have questions for the secretary.
They were not communicative until somebody from, I'm sure, Secretary Norm's team figured out I was who I said I was and finally said, let him go.
There was no threat.
There was no lunging.
I raised my voice to ask a question.
There was no threat.
There was no lunging.
I lunged.
Oh, and I also raised my voice.
But it was only because I was so passionately caring about what's going on to illegal aliens in L.A. It took maybe half a second before multiple agents were on me.
She said you barged into the room or you basically broke into the room.
I'm paraphrasing here.
And I spent a few minutes in the back of the room just listening in until the rhetoric, the political rhetoric, got to be too much to take.
Then I had to charge.
I have questions for the secretary.
Because the fact of the matter is a half a dozen selling criminals that you're rotating on your head.
This is the biggest point.
It's not about me.
You think she might have started the meeting with an apology of what happened.
Of course not.
It's not about me.
Again, this is the biggest point.
It's not about me.
You think she might have started the meeting with an apology of what happened.
It's not about me.
She didn't even apologize because I approached and It's not about me.
She didn't even apologize.
Hypocrites, losers, dumbasses, and scoundrels.
And by the way, when they say it's not about me, they mean it's about me.
It's always about them.
These narcissist, pathological sons of bitches.
It's always about them.
Justin Trudeau celebrating whatever Memorial Day.
Here's a picture of me.
Here's a Jamie Ratskin Raskin.
The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy.
I'm joining the House Democrats to march to Senator Thune's office and to demand that he protect his colleagues.
Capital C?
Think much of yourself, you arrogant piece of crap?
From this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.
Oh, the brutal handcuffing.
But first, let me take a selfie.
Oh yeah, look at this.
He's such a man.
Pathological narcissists.
pathological liars.
Now, Senator Duckworth, I said to Senator Duckworth, you know, Senator Duckworth, some people are going to disagree with this, deserves honor and respect for her sacrifice in a war that maybe she should never have been in in the first place.
When I have my discussions with veterans, and one of the questions I always ask, and it's a difficult question, it's sort of like asking...
It's asking an impossible question.
The boxer has brain damage and has no choice to redo his life, has to live with it.
So you ask him, would you have done things differently that led to your permanent traumatic injury now?
It's an unfair question because the answer can never be yes.
Senator Duckworth lost both of her legs.
I don't know if it was in combat, it was in a helicopter crash.
And, you know, she deserves respect, as do all veterans, for the sacrifice they made in service of country.
I do question whether or not Senator Duckworth, in fact, I don't have to doubt it with her because she was very, very ready and willing to send other people's children off to Ukraine.
So she doesn't seem to have learned the right lessons of war, that maybe the war in Iraq was not justified.
Maybe the war in Iraq was manufactured for the military industrial complex, for regime change, for...
Young men and women.
Anybody who goes and fights in that war, the Iraq war, knowing what we know now and saying anything other than I feel used and abused by a maliciously dishonest government, I'm skeptical of.
The fact that Tammy Duckworth lost both of her legs in service makes me respect her as a veteran.
That doesn't make me respect her judgment.
And when she's ready to go send other people's children off to lose their legs and lose their lives, I ask whether or not she learned the right lessons from her own service.
So she deserves honor for her service, but she does not deserve to have her stupid, absolutely idiotic positions unchallenged on Twitter.
Senator Duckworth says a lie.
Quote, I am Senator Alex Padilla, end quote, is the first thing he says.
There is nothing the Trump administration won't lie about.
That is a lie, Tammy Duckworth.
That is a lie.
And it's ironic because A, it's a lie, and B, it's almost as though you think we don't have the internet.
And you accuse the Trump administration of there's nothing they won't lie about while lying.
Tammy, you are the gosh-forsaken liar.
But don't trust me.
Trust the internet.
Don't trust your lying eyes, people.
I don't know why you insist on exaggerating every single person that has been able to do this.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
What did he just say there?
I am Senator Alex Padilla.
Was that the first thing he said?
Tammy?
You're hard of hearing?
Tammy?
He's in the middle of talking.
This unhinged lunatic comes out from behind the cameras, accosts her.
Within, what, 12 feet?
Doesn't say, I am Senator Padilla, as if even if he said that as the first thing, oh, okay, he looks like Senator Padilla, let him in.
As if even if it is Senator Padilla, he might not be so embroiled in a passionate fit of rage that he wouldn't do anything himself.
Oh, no, but he said it.
First thing he says, lie.
Second thing, even if he said it, irrelevant.
They don't know who the hell this jackass is.
Plain clothes, enraged.
Interrupting a conference that's ongoing.
Coming from behind the cameras by his own admission after having come from another room because he was so angry.
Wrong, Senator Duckworth.
You're either dumb or a liar.
I am Senator Padilla is not the first thing he says.
In fact, he only says it after, Madam Secretary, I want to know why you insist on exaggerating, embellishing, yada, yada, yada, while being physically resisting or being removed, while also not wearing any identification or press credentials.
So which is it?
Dumb or a liar?
Or is it a little bit from column A and a little bit from column B?
You can go ask her the question yourself.
But remember, everybody, it's the Trump administration that lies.
Confession through projection.
It is the iron law of woke projection.
Here's the link to the tweet.
And we're not yet done with the idiots being idiots.
You know what the funny thing is?
I'll play this one through.
Here's Cory Booker.
Another pathological liar.
Go Google what Cory Booker has lied about.
Let me do it right now while I play the video.
Go look at what he's lied about.
What was the guy's name?
T-Bone?
They are pathological liars of the highest order making the campaign pitch after having thrown the brick through their own window.
The one thing I did notice is that Cory Booker seems to be enjoying the D.C. life, if you get my drift.
Listen to this.
If you could make Alex Padilla forcibly kneel before this executive, when does it stop?
He's a United States senator.
And if you could force him to kneel to his knees violently, when does it stop?
What does it say to other Americans who want to speak up?
What does it say to other Americans that want to exercise their constitutional duty?
You know what it says?
Don't be a jackass about it.
Wait for the Q&A period.
Oh, but Padilla was complaining that he wasn't getting the Christy Noem time that he wanted.
Don't obstruct and don't act like an unhinged lunatic.
That's what it says.
I know, it's a crazy thing, eh?
This crazy thing called decorum.
What does it say to other Americans this weekend when they want to peacefully protest?
What does it say to other Americans from humble backgrounds?
What the fuck is he even talking about?
You know what's funny, though?
Go Google Cory Booker Waite.
It's not me.
I'll have to bring it up while I do this so you don't think I'm an asshole.
who know poverty, that if a United States senator who stands up to do his job can be made to heal...
What does it say?
What message does it send?
Everybody in this body should see that this is a crossroads.
They treated a member of the United States Senate violently.
By the way, the old expression, when your argument is strong on facts, pound on the facts.
When your argument's strong in law, pound on the law.
And when your argument is absolute shite, pound on the table.
Look at that.
Impassioned.
Moron.
Braindead idiot.
After he identified himself, dragged him out.
That's it.
I asked him to talk with him.
So someone comes up to you in the field in Iraq and says, Hi, I'm security.
I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Well, they've identified themselves.
Do you understand what identify yourself means, Booker?
I mean, considering your friend was T-Bone back in the day, I think you know what it means.
Yeah, I'm the Queen of England.
I've identified myself.
You have any ID to identify yourself?
Oh, what's that?
Once he identified who he was and they actually understood who he was, they then let him go?
Should have charged his ass.
Out of a room, threw him upon the ground and put him in handcuffs.
Why?
Because the statement was that he was disrespectful.
That is unacceptable.
That is offensive.
It wasn't that he was disrespectful at all.
It's that he was unhinged and menacing.
That is un-American.
When you drive a man to his knees in the United States of America, that is wrong.
That is wrong.
That is wrong.
This is a test.
I can't listen to this jackass anymore.
But I noticed that he's enjoying the D.C. life.
And I noticed that other journalists had noticed it before.
This is back in the day.
Once fit Cory Booker packs on the pounds.
He actually might look a little bit better now.
But it's an amazing thing.
You sit there sucking at the teat of government for too long, and lo and behold, you become a pig.
Spiritually, metaphorically, metaphysically, ideologically, intellectually, and in some cases, physically.
Now, I was going to ask the question, what has Cory Booker lied about?
Let me see.
I'm just asking Grok.
The T-Bone story.
One of the most prominent accusations involves Booker's repeated references to a Newark drug dealer named T-Bone during his time as mayor and in campaign speeches.
Booker described T-Bone as a real person who threatened him, but later became a friend, sharing emotional moments.
Critics, including the National Review in 2013, questioned T-Bone's existence, noting that no one in Newark could verify a drug dealer by that name.
Claims about the riots being peaceful.
Recent posts on X from June 2025 alleged that Booker described certain riots as peaceful and was contradicted by the Los Angeles police.
They're so peaceful they had to declare a curfew.
You effing idiot.
Exaggerations during political speeches.
Saving a gunshot victim.
Delivering diapers during a snowstorm.
Eulogy for a Newark activist.
And what was the other one?
Fake Benjamin Franklin quotes.
Abortion stance during 2013 Senate debate.
National Review in 2013 claimed Booker lied during a Senate debate by saying he supported The law of the land on women's rights to choose implying moderation.
Critics argued his voting record on advocacy showed stronger support for unrestricted abortion access.
Financial claims about speaking engagements.
A February 2025 ex-post claimed Booker said he made money from speaking engagements which senators are prohibited from doing.
The allegation lacks corroboration as primary sources and no evidence confirms Booker made such a statement or violated Senate rules.
Politico, what is this one?
PolitiFact fact checks.
Politifact has rated several of Booker's statements over the years, finding some to be misleading or partially false, though not necessarily lies.
Booker's a liar, and he's a dumb one at that.
So they're making their heyday out of this Padilla setup, and people are on the bandwagon.
Thank you.
Now hold on, there was one more here.
There was one more and it had to do with, oh yes, that man Rick Wilson.
Rick Wilson.
I was going to start the show with this, but then I didn't want this being the first statement of the show.
Rick Wilson, do you all know who he is?
Some of you might use certain terms to describe him that I won't use, but he has been accused of having interest in young boys.
He once upon a time said this.
And the context doesn't make it any better.
And just sit back on the sidelines and say, oh, well, don't worry, this will all work itself out.
They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
And just sit back on the sidelines and say, oh, well.
The donor class isn't going to be able to just sit back and say, the donor class is going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
That's what he said.
Flashback to the Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson in 2023.
They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
The mainstream media has the audacity to say that Trump's rhetoric incites violence.
So Rick Wilson, whether or not you want to call him someone who has an interest in younger men, and there's a word for that, at the very least is a world-class piece of shit.
And what do world-class pieces of shit do?
they act like world-class pieces of shit.
And in respect of the incident that happened yesterday with Kristi Noem, this world-class piece of shit that is Rick Wilson said the following in respect This is him totally not lunging.
Padilla, getting what he wanted.
Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the Secretary.
I have questions.
secretary because the fact of the matter is And this is Bill Malugan, who's a national correspondent for Fox News.
We have Rick Wilson saying, time to ID every one of these guys.
Internet.
Do your thing.
I'm going to give everybody this tweet so that you can retweet it, memorialize it, and maybe report it for inciting doxing, which is exactly what it is.
This is a man who in the past said what he said about the donor class needing to, quoting Rick Wilson, put a bullet, end quote, in Donald Trump, now saying time to ID the FBI agents, Secret Service, members of Kristi Noem's team.
ID every one of these guys.
Internet, do your thing.
This is not a question of free speech.
This is an absolute question of terms of service.
And I think this violates Twitter versus terms of service.
Also, this is a man that deserves to have his social media accounts terminated.
Identify, internet, do your thing.
Like what?
Like docks the National Guard at the hotels that they're staying at so that they're forced to sleep in basements of undisclosed locations so that they can then take the pictures of that and try to blame Trump on it?
Try to blame Trump for that?
These people, go to McDonald's, Tom McDonald's all the time.
They will kill you and they will make it the news.
They will use the images of their own devastation for their own propaganda.
And Rick Wilson...
Thank you.
Could he face charges?
I don't know.
Has James Comey been charged yet?
No.
Why would anyone stop?
Why would anyone not continue to push that envelope?
Has Padilla been charged?
No.
No, and by the way, when I say has Padilla been charged, again, this is not to weaponize anything.
This is to enforce the law.
Whether or not Kristi Noem's conference was an official government proceeding, Remains to be established.
You all know exactly where I'm going with that.
They went after the Jan Sixers for obstruction of a government proceeding for protesting outside?
Well, if this was a government proceeding, that sure as sugar was obstructing a proceeding.
But maybe it's not an official government proceeding and it doesn't qualify, therefore, under that statute of law.
At the very least, mischief?
Public disturbance?
I don't know.
There's something there.
And at the very least, I don't know if a senator can trespass in a secure building where he, by his employment, has the right to be.
I don't know.
Something tells me one could find a provision of law, even if it's a minor misdemeanor, to go after Padilla for.
And they should.
No good deed goes unpunished.
And when Alina Haba dropped her charges against the Mayor Baraka, what did Baraka do?
He thanked her with a civil lawsuit, if I'm not mistaken.
He had the balls to sue her personally.
Hold on one second.
Did Mayor Baraka sue Habba personally?
I'm fairly certain he did.
Not just in her capacity of, but let me double check and let me make sure.
Yes!
Newark Mayor Ross Baraka sued Alina Haba personally, along with Department of Homeland Security agent Ricky Patel, for false arrest, malicious prosecution, and defamation.
The lawsuit filed on June 3, 2025, alleges that Haba, acting in her capacity, acting in her, sorry, in her personal capacity, rather than as interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, directed and ratified Baraka's unlawful arrest on May 9, 2025.
at the Delaney Hall ICE facility and made defamatory statements about him on social media and in media interviews.
The suit claims Habba's actions were politically motivated and not part of her prosecutorial duties.
What a mother effer.
So, Alina, Alina Haba, tries to show some good grace after Baraka was arrested for, I think it was, trespass?
Drops the charges, and that's how he thinks.
You know what she should have done?
Maintain the charges.
Make him either be found guilty, plead to whatever minor misdemeanor, pay a fine.
There's no lawsuit against Alina Haba if those charges are maintained and if there's some sort of settlement or conviction at the end of the day.
Maintain those charges.
What do you think Padilla's going to do?
In that interview, let me see if I can find the interview.
In that interview at the end of the question, one of them asked him, what are you going to do?
What's your plan here?
Sue for false...
Or whatever they call it.
Abusive detainment?
Now I can't find the whole interview.
I had the whole interview.
I recorded it on my computer.
They basically ask him, do you have any plans to sue?
This isn't about me.
I didn't get an apology though, but it's not about me.
I predict, over under, more likely than not that he's going to sue for false detainment.
Unlawful detainment.
Press charges against him.
Mischief.
Make him pay a $500 fine.
But they want to play holier than thou.
They want to, oh, we got to make sure we don't want the charges getting dismissed.
That would make us, that would cause us to lose credit.
Horse crap.
You know what's causing a loss of faith and a loss of credibility?
It's not fighting fire with fire, just not even fighting.
Press some charges.
You go after James Comey for $86.47, you have a lot fewer copycats.
You go after Padilla.
for being an absolute jackass, you're going to have fewer of these Democrat activists acting a fool so that they can get the publicity that they want out of this.
Say, boss.
And I think that's all I have to say about that.
I'm going to double-check in the backdrop that I've got nothing more here.
That's that.
Let's see what's going on in the tipped question section, starting from the bottom going up.
Chlorofin from our vivabarneslaw.locals.com community says, It was all theater, I guess, and they are running with it.
You go to Twitter, it's like they got the same memo.
Forcing a man to his knees.
The people who forced Trump to do a perp walk mugshot are now crying that the man was forced to his knees because he acted a fool.
They are useful idiots.
They know exactly what they're doing.
And it's a damn shame.
T.T. Fulltimer says, I wanted Nixon to carpet bomb the whole mess, but no.
He had to capitulate to terrorists and see what we have had ever since.
That's the remainder of the TT full-timer.
Oh, crap.
Hold on a second.
Let me see if I can do this.
It's not too late.
It's not too late to bring it up here.
Here, check this out.
Let me bring this one down.

And then we got Finboy Slick.
Well, I'm going to have to bring this one up.
Hold on one second.
Oh God, what did I just do?
What did I just do?
I lost everything.
No, no.
Where's my screen?
Okay, so bring this out.
I'm going to have to bring this one up from our local screen so everybody can see this.
Finboy Slick says, Michael Bolton, time.
Finboy Slick is among the best meme masters, meme makers of the world.
Michael Bolton, time, love, and tenderness.
And it says, hey Viva, I made this to help you remember the difference between Michael and John Bolton.
It's beautiful.
Beautiful and ugly at the same time.
King of Biltong says we stream live at 4 p.m. Eastern directly after Viva, doing some light banter whilst cooking great food live.
Join us in the fun on our channel.
RumbleEatAtAntons.com Okay, let me see what else is going on here.
Bring this one out.
And King of Biltong.
Chlorophyll, I believe it would have been more constructive if he had given the opportunity to speak and then quietly listen to the response.
But that sounds like a school debate club, not actual politics growing up.
Well, you could have also just waited for the Q&A period.
You think?
You could have just waited for the Q&A.
It's all theatrics and it's all rubbish.
Oh, Lord.
Let me see what's going on here.
Okay.
Now, what else is going on?
Bring it to the chat.
What's up?
I just want to let you know you got rated by a channel named Third Railify as well as my own channel.
Thank you very much.
And now I believe that we are going to raid Redacted.
And their chat for today is...
Is this World War III?
U.S. preps for massive retaliation.
King's Day false flags.
Let me see what's going on.
Is that...
Okay, encryptors.
I'm going to give you the link here for the raid.
I just want to watch this.
It looks like they're using like a PDF, almost a Comic-Con filter.
Look at this.
This is a Hold on a second.
Check this out.
Go raid.
The floor is yours.
Well, I don't want to think of a victory lap of what's happening right now.
It's terrifying.
But I would just add to your excellent point about the Democrats being the Peace Party.
His background.
Republicans were the Peace Party.
Go raid them.
And we're going to keep it open here until we see the raid going on.
Encryptus, did I miss anything today?
I think we did good.
Let me see what's going on on Twitterverse and see if there's been any late breaking news.
Getting a colorful DM from Mark Grobert.
And that's it.
Okay, I think we did everything.
I think we did good today.
Encryptus, did I miss anything that we should have talked about?
No, you got everything.
Just a few more seconds on the radio.
You're good to go.
All right, people.
Go raid the Redacted.
We're going to have our locals afterparty.
I am either going to go fishing or maybe get another box of UFC trading cards and open those up with the kids.
I've recently discovered something.
I kind of love UFC trading cards.
It's a scam.
It's basically conditioning children to gamble or to get conditioned to lottery tickets.
But hypothetically, I'm thinking I'm going to do something like an installment in our locals afterparty.
It'll be like, we'll open packs of UFC fighting cards and whoever sends a pack of cards, it will be like a massive shout out.
I'm joking.
Let's see.
But then the thing is, I'm watching these unpacking videos.
I'm like, that is, that is, what's the word I'm looking for?
Not cliche.
That is, there's a word I'm looking for.
Kitsch?
I don't think I can do it.
I feel like an idiot even.
Getting into UFC fighting cards, but I love the UFC, and now we started watching UFC with my kids and the neighborhood kids, and this residence is going to be the UFC fight night central of our neighborhood.
Oh, that's it.
Okay, let's see what's going on here in the chat.
Oh, the raid is good.
Okay, so that's good.
Join and go raid.
He was rushing the stage.
Her security acted appropriately, says Dobie Dave.
There's no question about it, but they've gotten what they're looking for out of this.
But what drives me nuts, People need to be charged.
And the charge against Baraka should have been maintained.
They've proven that they don't give any good grace, but we've known that already.
So it's not a question of weaponizing anything in lawfare.
It's a question of justice.
Even if it's a minor charge, make him defend himself.
Make him pay a fine.
And had Baraka had those charges, he doesn't sue Alina Haba personally.
So as Stewie once said to the kid at the baseball game, what did you learn?
And that's it.
All right, let's go to the vivabarneslaw.locals.com afterparty.
I'll give everybody the link to that and we'll have a good one there.
All locals, you're going to get it too because I'm just doing it here.
Everybody download the Rumble app and turn on notifications.
It's amazing.
Rumble Studio is magnificent.
And that's what we have today.
Next time we see each other, if it's not sooner, will be Sunday for the vivabarneslaw.locals.com Sunday night law extravaganza.
