	It's a firm believer that infighting should be done indoors and not outdoors.
	Unfortunately, sometimes the house brawl spills into the soccer field.
	Behold today's intro.
	Two questions, one on Iran and then the second on something Kevin Crockett said this morning.
	So given that we know the Iranian government did order an operative to assassinate the president, is there concern that Iran might respond with both of which were sad days in our nation's history.
	So I would defer you to the Department of Justice on where those investigations stand.
	But as for your question regarding Iranian retaliation, I'm not going to engage in hypotheticals again, but I can assure the American public and the world that this administration is prepared.
	And ready to defend American interests and assets, not just in the region, but here on our homeland as well.
	It's funny.
	When I first started getting my links up for today's show, I hadn't seen some recent drama that broke out between two people that I greatly respect and admire.
	None other than Robert Barnes, my partner in law at vivabarneslaw.locals.com and deputy director of the FBI, Kash Patel.
	I saw that.
	I was listening to the press conference today, and I saw that statement.
	I was like, okay, I would like to know what is the state of the investigation into the Butler assassination?
	And unfortunately, now that was supposed to be, that clip was the one I was looking for, where I said, okay, retweet that segment, soundbite, and ask the DOJ, Pam Bondi, what is the state?
	of the investigation into the failed assassination attempt on Donald John Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, What is the status of that?
	Because now we are entering January, February, March, April, May, June, five months since Trump has been in office, a couple of months since some appointees have been in office, and It's so quiet on the answer front that even journalists like Susan Crabtree is beginning to ask for some questions or ask for some answers to these questions.
	Susan Crabtree, who was following meticulously the July 13 failed assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, putting out some of the bestest breaking news on that and continuing the investigation and digging hard into that day.
	tweeted out, this was yesterday that I saw it, June 18th, Susan Crabtree at Susan Crabtree.
	It's Secret Service Director Dan Kearns, 100th day on the job and less than a month until the one-year anniversary of the January 13th Butler assassination attempt on President Trump's No one has been fired or formally disciplined for the failures at Butler or the second assassination attempt at Trump International Golf Courts in West Palm Beach.
	Curran has announced no major overhaul or reforms, internally or externally, despite two congressional reports and one independent panel calling for a litany of reforms.
	In fact, some agents involved in the Butler failures have been promoted while others remain on the job without serious consequences to their cases.
	Is this what MAGA voted for?
	Excuse me, and I retweeted that, saying, you know, I was critical of the appointment of Sean Curran when it happened.
	And maybe unfairly so.
	It is easy to play Monday morning quarterback.
	To some extent, unfortunately, that's what analysts do.
	They say, all right, who was on the Secret Service detail that day?
	Who was on security that day?
	How did a kid with a rangefinder end up on a roof that was unsecured, that was literally carved out of the perimeter for Donald Trump with the best vantage point for a shot on Donald Trump, identified by cops?
	Person of interest, walking around with binoculars, flying a drone, gets on the roof, video, time, you know, all lined up, cops notified, chasing him up, gets the shots off.
	How in the name of sweet holy hell did that happen?
	All right, he's a lone gunman who was training at firearm ranges or shooting ranges where other law enforcement were training.
	A weird kid, to say the least, there multiple times in front of other law enforcement training.
	Set aside, okay, he's a lone nutbag, although we don't seem to yet have encrypted or unencrypted, decrypted, his encrypted apps, accounts, whatever.
	Let's just operate on the basis, whether or not you believe it, that he was a lone soul gunman who managed to exploit the most egregious, systematic, layered incompetence of security for the most important person, politically speaking, in the world.
	We have no answers.
	We have no The man who was on the Secret Service detail, Sean Curran was the man in the photograph when Trump came up with his fist in the air and the blood coming down from his ear screaming fight, fight, fight.
	Sean Curran was the guy with the sunglasses.
	On the detail, he gets appointed to the head of Secret Service.
	I was critical.
	Maybe unfairly so, maybe arrogantly so because it's just the advantage of being able to commentate without having to do the decisions, make the hard choices.
	My father always says those who can't do teach.
	And my father always says also, those who don't draft the memos find the typos.
	Okay.
	That being said, Sean Curran was appointed to the head of secret service and it has going to go on now a year.
	And there hasn't been diddly squat done in terms of the aggregate failures of that day, setting aside whether or not it was as innocent as a lone gunman who managed to
	And now I see before the show starts that there's a fight between Dan Bongino and Robert Barnes.
	Barnes puts out a tweet and says, why did FBI Deputy Director Bongino, FBI Director Kash Patel and A.G. Pan Bondi shut down inquiry into Trump assassinations and refused to disclose Epstein files so warhors could pretend Iran was behind the assassination attempts and so the world wouldn't know.
	Hashtag Epstein worked with Israel.
	I don't think there's...
	maybe these things are going to be irritating if there's more to them in terms of why the Epstein files were not disclosed.
	Why apparently what Pam Bondi said Whether or not Epstein worked with Israel, I don't think there's any much denying that Epstein worked with intelligence, unless we just think he was, you know, up to You know, the sex trafficking to himself and Ghislaine Maxwell, much like with P. Diddy, nobody else was involved.
	That island that had video footage, not what you wanted to see, according to Kash Patel on Joe Rogan.
	Bongino writes back, of course, both of these absurd, ridiculous lies are clickbait BS designed to inflame people during a serious crisis point in our history.
	We recently gave an interview to Maria Bartoromo, which clearly stated the opposite.
	Robert could look it up, but that would get in the way of his clicks.
	Please unfollow this account if you believe this easily discredited moronic nonsense.
	Thanks.
	Now, there was some disagreement as to what exactly was stated during that Maria Bartoromo interview because people were giving Bongino flack for the And I think the exact words he used were, there's no there there.
	If there were a there there, we'll tell you, or we would tell you.
	There's no there there.
	And I didn't get the same impression that people on the internet got that that was shutting it down.
	I said, that seems ambiguous.
	It seems opaque.
	Maybe if there's an ongoing investigation, they can't comment on it.
	But that Bongino saying, if there is a there there, you'll know.
	Not that there is no there there, and the Butler Pennsylvania investigation has been shut down, case closed, the kid's dead, and he was the only one, and that's all we need to know.
	So, I'll reiterate the question that I asked to DOJ Pan Bonte following Carolina Levitt's press conference earlier today.
	What's the status of the Butler assassination attempt investigation?
	Is that case closed?
	Has it been shut down?
	Is it done?
	It was Thomas Crooks acting alone, and that's it.
	And there's nothing more to be seen here.
	Set aside all of the internal stuff.
	We don't know if there's internal disciplinary stuff going on with some of the people involved.
	We haven't seen anything.
	Is the case closed?
	What were on the alleged encrypted apps, alleged encrypted accounts of Thomas Kirk?
	Who was he talking to?
	Barnes has legitimate questions.
	And what I'm noticing is that there's a lot of browbeating in terms of asking the obvious questions.
	We are now...
	We're getting into six months into the presidency.
	Epstein files haven't been disclosed, despite promises.
	There's been no disciplinary action as a result of whatever happened on July 13th, as of whatever happened in Mar-a-Lago.
	Seems like we're on the brink of war despite, you know, what we're...
	And there's a lot of unanswered questions and a lot of unanswered business, and people are being implored to trust the plan.
	I'm paraphrasing, I know some people don't like that word, but trust Trump's good judgment.
	Okay.
	Comey is still on the streets, hasn't faced charges.
	The FBI, the corrupt, weaponized FBI, whether or not there's internal disciplinary measures going on, nothing public.
	Nobody's been arrested.
	Nobody's been charged.
	We don't know if Comey's being investigated.
	And so, unfortunately, you got Moderna getting expedited or approval of their new jibby jab, despite being even apparently slightly more less safe than the first one.
	And you can understand the frustration of the populist base that voted for Trump.
	On the basis of certain warranties and representations, and the Epstein disclosures was one of the litmus tests.
	The no new wars was one of the litmus tests.
	And if the situation has changed so radically since Trump took office, you've got to make better arguments than shut up and have trust in Trump's good faith.
	Trump has earned everybody's trust, but Trump has also made some bad decisions in 2016 in terms of appointments, in terms of picks, in terms of decisions, in terms of what information to rely on.
	Nobody's infallible to the point of Let him cook doesn't mean don't ask obvious questions and don't keep the pressure on.
	In fact, it'll make it easier to cook if there's a little bit of pressure going on.
	So I don't like the infighting.
	I don't like the defensive shutting down of discussion and legitimate queries that demand legitimate answers.
	What's the status of the Butler investigation?
	What's the status of what's going on?
	Mar-a-Lago, the guy's going to trial soon.
	What's the status of the Epstein files?
	Why haven't they been disclosed?
	What video evidence is there as relates to demonstrating, proving that Epstein took his own life?
	If he took his own life, I've got follow-up questions.
	How on earth was the most important accused criminal, convicted sex trafficker, left alone in his cell two weeks after having been allegedly trying to take his own life after being taken off suicide watch?
	How does that happen?
	That doesn't answer the questions.
	That just raises a few more questions.
	How someone who allegedly tried to take their own life was on suicide watch, miraculously taken off suicide watch, left alone in their cell with a sufficient amount of bedsheets to take their own life.
	And the browbeating is not going to get people to shut up.
	It might actually just get people to have more questions.
	And transparency means answering the questions.
	Why haven't the Epstein files been disclosed?
	What is the state of the Butler investigation?
	Is it in fact case closed?
	Thomas Crookes acted alone.
	Nothing more to see here.
	Move on.
	Trump himself seems to be voicing some frustration in his interviews.
	So sorry if I look a little frustrated.
	People are concerned.
	People don't see things going in the right direction.
	People see things going in the wrong direction.
	And it's not a question of giving a pass to the people that you voted into office.
	Sometimes they say you always hurt the ones you love, but sometimes you also keep the most pressure on the ones you love because you expect more from them.
	If you don't expect something from anybody, you don't care when they screw up.
	If you think your kid is a mess-up, you don't demand much from them.
	If you know your kid is capable of much, much more, you demand that which your child is capable of performing.
	The same thing goes for the authorities that you elected into office.
	And I think if you put it to a poll, I'm not sure how satisfied people would be with the direction of what they see going on right now.
	But some people think that there's something of a cover-up going on.
	Shut up, there's no cover-up is not going to be the answer.
	Full transparency is the answer.
	And now, by the way, speaking of things that are covering up, we're going to get to our sponsor of the day.
	Let me play a short video here.
	And then we're going to thank our sponsor of the day here.
	Studies have been done to show that the flavanols in cocoa stimulate stem cells to come out of your bone marrow like bees in a beehive in your bloodstream, and they go out and they find wherever it needs to be repaired.
	If it's in your heart, they'll fix it.
	If it's in your liver, they'll fix it.
	your skin, they'll fix it.
	And so we can eat foods like high flavanol cocoa in order to be able to actually get Whenever I hear the word flavanol, all I can think about is the nerdlinger scientist on flavin.
	Insane health benefits of cocoa flavanols, the compounds found in cocoa that boost nitric oxide, improve heart health, and regenerate brain cells before you roll your eyes like you just flipped through a heavily redacted Epstein files.
	This isn't some woohoo nonsense.
	Let me show you.
	Harvard scientist Dr. William Lee, the guy you just looked at there, actually backs it up, and let's let him finish what he was saying.
	Because it's wildly interesting.
	Now, how do we know this actually works in people?
	Well, clinical studies have been done with high flavanol cocoa to show that in like men who are in their 60s with heart disease, they could actually eat.
	And they doubled the amount of stem cells in your bloodstream, and their circulation improved measurably.
	And then what's even more important and impressive is that there was a study called the COSMOS study that was completed recently that showed that eating high-flaminol cocoa decreases the risk of cardiovascular death over a period of time.
	Like I said.
	Exactly.
	Except maybe by eating the same thing that you eat.
	Did I just close it?
	Oops, I accidentally closed it.
	Well, people, let me bring up the website so you can know what this is and what we're talking about.
	Dr. William Lee and the website is Black Forest Supplements, people.
	Dark chocolate.
	First of all, if you have it not with sugar, it's very good for you.
	Flavanols are the good stuff found in cocoa beans, but they're actually designed, destroyed during the chocolate-making process.
	that process.
	That's where black forest supplements comes in.
	They've created the first ever high flavanol cocoa powder packed with everything your body actually needs.
	You can mix it with your coffee, with your protein shakes.
	It tastes amazing.
	The stuff can boost your body's natural stem cell production.
	Hollywood elites are dropping $50,000 on placenta stem cell injections, but you can drink cocoa powder and get the same benefits without selling your soul for it.
	It's fantastic stuff.
	Men who need to be strong, mentally sharp, in peak condition, drink it, order it, mix it up.
	It's fantastic.
	Black Forest Supplements will hook you up with 40% off if you go within the next 48 hours.
	The stuff always sells out.
	Don't wait.
	The promo code is VIVA?
	I'm going to make sure I get the right promo code.
	40% off in the next 48 hours.
	The link is in the description.
	And the promo code is VIVA.
	I hope it's VIVA.
	Better damn it will be VIVA.
	It's Fry.
	F-R-E-I.
	So go check it out.
	The link is in the description with the thing so you don't have to worry about screwing up with the promo code Viva.
	But thank you to the sponsor.
	And if you're going to eat chocolate, dark chocolate is the way to go.
	It doesn't have the sugar, it doesn't have the calories, and it doesn't actually destroy that which makes cocoa healthy for you.
	Okay, people.
	We're going to go from the healthy stuff to the not-so-healthy stuff.
	Alcohol, which is actually not-so-not-unhealthy, but in moderate amounts, it makes life more interesting.
	I had Data Republican on the other day.
	Some of you may know who she is or may not know who she is.
	Data Republican is one of the most amazing accounts on X to follow.
	She's crunching the numbers.
	She dives into doing research online that very many people do not do.
	Not very many people do.
	And she's been on now twice.
	We were talking about the last time we were talking about...
	Oh my goodness, I'm seeing all I'm going to forget, but it was about...
	It was about the dark money laundering through donations in the donation ecosphere in terms of how these NGOs launder money from the main accounts or the main donations to preferred or other accounts.
	They just shift this money around so you never know where it's going.
	And then lo and behold, they're funding non-democratic conduct.
	And I was talking with that Republican and then she started explaining to me how her husband had gotten doxxed, harassed, had his business.
	Basically mobbed in the state of Utah because Data Republican, for those of you who know, is deaf.
	And the deaf community in Utah apparently tends to lean left.
	And because Data Republican tends to seemingly lean right, although some will just say center of Lenin, she was demonized, doxed, her husband's business was discovered, and then harassed.
	And I said, I want to hear this story, and I also want to help support this guy because everybody loves a good bourbon.
	Brent, if you can come in now, unmute and turn on your mic, we're going to hear your story before we get into some of the other news of the day.
	Sir, how goes the battle?
	Very good.
	So I think I may have sufficiently accurately described it, but I mean, do tell us the circumstances.
	Your wife, now I forget her name offhand and I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to know it, data Republican.
	I mean, not to get too far into it, but deaf and also, well, when she comes on, she's typing everything through the computer, hearing it through the computer.
	It's an amazing thing.
	Yes.
	It's amazing work.
	So explain what's going on.
	So yeah, she's deaf and uses nonverbal in most situations.
	But she's started out doing election analysis and then moved into NGO finances and kind of uncovering that.
	And then back in February is when she kind of got outed and her name got out there.
	There was a member of the deaf community who figured out who she was and put her name out there and gave our state of residence.
	And then from there it got picked up by the Rolling Stone.
	And then the Salt Lake Tribune, which both did kind of smear articles on her, and tied her to the distillery, basically to direct the outrage mob towards us.
	The Rolling Stones article, what was the gist of it?
	That this is a far-right, Trump-allied radical who's, I don't know, trying to cut NGO spending or whatever?
	It was the fact that it was an extreme right-wing and we must destroy her.
	Yeah, they tied her.
	So Elon Musk had retweeted her several times and they tied her to Doge and then the government cuts that were going on with Doge.
	So reduction in workforce and all that, none of which she had anything directly involved with.
	She was mainly just pointing out waste and abuse in the the NGO system and USAID.
	Okay.
	Fascinating.
	And then they tied it to your business.
	Now, first of all, looking behind you, it looks like you have beautiful products.
	So you are a distiller and you produce a bourbon?
	Yes.
	So we produce gin, vodka, bourbon, other whiskeys, as well as coffee liqueur, which is usually very popular.
	And what's the name of the product?
	So we have the gins are high mountain desert gin, and then our And we're working on relaunching our vodka as Patriot's Creed Vodka.
	Right now it's available as Hidden Vodka.
	And a portion of those sales actually goes towards charities fighting human trafficking.
	Amazing.
	Okay, so now explain what happens once your wife gets doxxed, then they tie it to you, and then what do they try to do?
	They try to shut down your distillery.
	Yeah, there were a lot of threats, calls, emails, basically saying we aren't going to support you.
	And unfortunately, in Utah, the majority of the drinking population seems to be left leaning.
	So they basically threatened to boycott the business.
	But honestly, we had a lot more outpouring of support than we had negative comments.
	Amazing.
	So you do the distilling and then you bottle it under various labels or you bottle it for third-party vendors or third-party bottles?
	We have a variety of labels under our overall brand.
	So the distillery is Spirits of the Wasatch, but each one of our product lines has its own brand.
	Very cool.
	And so what type of boycotting was it?
	Was it actually picketing in front of the distillery in person?
	No, actually it was mainly in the form of nasty calls and emails and overwhelming our messaging system on our website.
	We luckily have had no negative in-person interactions, but we've had a ton of support come out and do distillery tours and tastings.
	And yeah, purchasing product.
	And we've had people drive from as far away as Nevada and Idaho and even some coming from Texas and Florida and Washington State just to visit us and buy product.
	Very cool.
	And where is it available?
	How does it work in the States?
	Do you distribute out of the state as well?
	So we don't actually have distribution other than in Utah, but we did just launch online sales about...
	The federal government system for selling alcohol is kind of convoluted and a lot of rules to follow, but we have to sell our product to a retailer who then fulfills the online orders.
	But you can go to our website and buy most of our products for shipping to, I believe it's 44 states.
	Does that include Florida by any chance?
	It does, I believe.
	What is the website?
	Was it the one I just showed?
	Yes.
	Wasatch.co?
	Yep.
	And if you go to the top, there's a buy now and it's buy.wasatch.co.
	Oh, there you go.
	Buy online.
	Amazing.
	Has the harassment calmed down a little bit?
	Has anybody actually become, I say, not friends, but has anyone ever apologized or has the harassment tapered off?
	I think it's tapered off quite a bit.
	It's kind of died down with the news cycle.
	I will say the Rolling Stone article didn't move the needle that much.
	After that, I was like, oh, no, we're going to get, yeah, a ton of messages.
	But really, it didn't do much.
	It was only after the Salt Lake Tribune picked it up and re-ran the story, basically, that we actually got the backlash.
	And since then, it's really tapered off.
	We've had a few more friendly stories in the Washington Post and the Deseret News, which is another local paper here in Utah.
	Or at least more balanced stories.
	Fantastic.
	There is the old expression, any publicity is good publicity.
	Sometimes you'd rather not have the doxing and harassment, but this is, I think, in the long run, it will be more value-added than not.
	What's it like being married to a data Republican, given what she does?
	Before this, you never had incidents, and then she gets involved with crunching the numbers on unpopular things, and then you guys become public enemy number one in Utah.
	It's been very interesting.
	I mean, she's got a very unique skill set.
	She's always been fairly politically active, but mostly anonymously.
	I mean, since she was in high school, she's been politically active, but she started doing early voting analysis back in 2016 when she crunched the numbers for Florida and actually called Florida for Trump well before the actual election.
	And she's continued that.
	And then after this last election, where I believe she called almost every swing state within a couple percentage points.
	She was looking for something else to do and kind of got into the NGOs.
	You can imagine it's very hard to win an argument with her.
	So she's very, very, she's got all the facts and figures.
	So, yeah.
	Well, and I do ping her in DMs to make sure that whatever I think, Thus far, I have not seen her make a mistake, and I also love what you do because I am a gin man myself, so right after this stream is done, I'm going to go procure myself a nice bottle of gin from your distillery.
	Brent, I mean, first of all, thank you.
	Keep it up.
	I'm going to share the link with everybody.
	Well, everybody who loves a good spirit will love it.
	So, Brent, thank you very much.
	Yep.
	Thank you.
	All right.
	Have a good one.
	You too.
	One day, when I'm in Utah next, Utah's like one of the most beautiful states I've ever been to.
	When we were in California, we drove through Arizona, Utah.
	I drove through like a hole in the mountain.
	And it was like coming out on the other end of the Bible.
	And I look out on the right, there's mountain goats.
	The rocks are like reddish, maroon, white.
	It was the most beautiful place I'd ever seen.
	So if I can ever get back out there, I'll definitely go to the distillery because I have been known to enjoy a snifter of port at Christmas.
	All right, peeps.
	We'll get into something in a second.
	Let me just read some of these chats here before we fall too far behind.
	Buffalo Betsy says, I'm trying to be patient and give Kash Patel and Dan Bongino benefit of the doubt.
	Things don't happen overnight.
	And I think there is a particular need to be precise and meticulous about everything they do so that it's not dismissed as conspiracy slash retaliation, not to mention, quote, deep state barriers and people still entrenched in government.
	And that's not even mentioning things we don't know.
	True.
	The flip side is, like I say with the James Comey, you be too patient, people forget.
	And lo and behold, James Comey, who should be charged in defending himself, is now selling his books and laughing at the FBI.
	I Hate Death, a.k.a.
	Thanatophobia, says Viva.
	Is there a bourbon with Barnes tonight?
	I cannot wait.
	I suspect there's going to be.
	First of all, it's never fun to see people who you like and respect fighting with each other.
	It's also not fun to see the deputy director of the FBI publicly calling for people to unfollow your locals partner and friend of now going on six years.
	And it's also, I mean, it's not the right response, period.
	To try to hide behind lashing out to not explain why the Epstein files have not been released yet, whatever's in there, despite what Pam Bondi said, And then to not listen to the bass.
	Anyhow, let's connect her with Barris, says Buffalo Betsy.
	They have to know each other.
	They have to.
	Then we got the janitor, says Viva.
	Is it true that Governor General Mary Simon approved?
	Oh, is it true that Governor General Mary Simon approved Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan secession?
	I don't think it's conceivable they haven't held the referendum vote yet.
	And also, I don't think that's how it works.
	So I haven't heard that news.
	If it had happened, I certainly would have heard it.
	I'm going to probably go ahead and say that that's disinformation or inaccurate because on the one hand, they have to have the referendum question voted on before they can even proceed to the next step.
	I'm not sure that the governor general is even the one who approves it at the end of the day.
	So I'll say no to that subject of verification.
	Mighty peces viva.
	Please tell your Egypt.
	Please tell your Egypt attempted kidnapping.
	You didn't get to finish the story with Mark.
	No, I did finish it.
	For those who missed the, um, What's up with Lord Buckley?
	I was explaining how when I was 13 and I had my Bar Mitzvah in Israel, we went to Egypt, we visited the pyramids, we took a boat ride down the Nile, Aswan, Luxor.
	And as I was at the pyramids, 13 years old, some gentleman on a camel, and I'm not trying to be glibber or funny.
	That's how the street vendors do things out in Egypt.
	This was in 1992, '93.
	My mother started freaking out.
	My father started freaking out because I had just gotten picked up by some Egyptian men.
	13-year-old boy put on a camel, which can run very fast.
	And I didn't really appreciate any of the danger at the time.
	Then my dad tries to get me down.
	A couple of other Egyptian guys take my dad's Tilly hat, start playing, you know, throw it around with the other guys.
	Then my mom, who's freaking out, gets the security involved.
	And the men with machine guns come.
	And then they start yelling at the guys who put me on the camel.
	They put me down.
	The machine gun security guys yelling and pretending they're going to arrest the guys on the camel.
	And then the guys saying, you know, just give us money.
	And my father gave him a little bit of money.
	and I'm certain it was all a big shtick in order to solicit pity money or extortion money from a father.
	But in retrospect, All right, that was the end of the story.
	It all's well that ends well.
	I'm alive and I didn't get kidnapped and taken off into the desert for Lord knows what.
	Okay, speaking of data Republican, And Viva having OCD.
	In case you don't know, I may or may not have OCD.
	Call it Puro.
	It's OCD with insight, so I know that I'm crazy.
	I know when I obsess.
	I know when I get fixated on a story, and I know that I'm fixated on a story right now.
	I did a story on Monday about, Monday or Tuesday, how The Guardian, I won't say defamed me, it's not really a hit piece, but they call me a far right wing influencer on Twitter, who's casting doubt on some of the information that's coming out of Minnesota as relates to the assassination of Hortman and her
	husband, the shooting of Hoffman and his wife, by one Vance Luther Belter, B-O-E-L-T-E-R, because in the wake of that, information was revealed that Vance Belter's wife is named Jennifer Belter, or as some media is saying, her legal name is Jenny Belter,
	There also happened to be a Jennifer Belter, B-O-E-L-T-E-R, who interned for Tim Walls in 2010 from November 2010, October 2010 to December 2010.
	2010 was when Tim Walls was running for re-election for the governor.
	So his election campaign started at the beginning of the year, but it was, you know, So one might think they might have needed more staff for whatever the reasons.
	So a Jennifer Belter did a two-month internship, was paid $3,566.66 from the Tim Walls campaign.
	Vance Belter was appointed to the Governor's Workforce Board whatever in 2016 and then reappointed by Tim Walls in 2019 to 2023.
	So there seemed to be family connection there.
	Then Tim Wall's spokesperson comes out and says, it's a different Jenny Belter.
	Shut up.
	Move along.
	Trust me, bro.
	So I'm like, all right, that's cool.
	Guardian puts out an article, says Viva Fry refuses to accept that it's a different Jennifer Belter who worked for Tim Wall's.
	And it's not the same Jenny Belter who's married to Vince, Vance Belter, the actual assassin, domestic terrorist.
	Okay.
	I reached out to both the journalist who wrote the article, The Guardian, DM, email, tweet, to say, what did you rely on in order to come to the conclusion that the Jennifer Belter who interned with Tim Walz in 2010 was a different, distinct individual human than the Jennifer Jenny Belter who's married to Vance Belter?
	Because it seems all they relied on is the statement from Walsh's spokesperson.
	Walsh's press office told KTTC Tuesday that the Jennifer Belter connected to Vance Belter, the suspect, was not an intern for the governor while he was serving in Washington.
	All right, that's it.
	Move along.
	Nothing to see here.
	According to Grok, and I've double-checked this thoroughly myself, the only evidence is a statement from the Walls campaign.
	As far as I can tell, the only evidence that it is indeed a different Jennifer Belter is a statement from a Wall spokesperson.
	Above and beyond the unsubstantiated statement from a Wall spokesperson, is there any evidence definitively To definitively confirm they are indeed two different Jennifer Belters.
	Definitive, concrete evidence, not arguments based on age and internships or unsubstantiated claims from a Walls spokesperson.
	This is a sincere request.
	If the evidence exists, I will most certainly amplify that information.
	But as of now, I'm actually shocked that the only evidence cited by so-called fact checkers to contradict the claim is an unsubstantiated claim from a Tim Walls spokesperson.
	It's a doctor somewhere, and I never mentioned it, never even actually knew that that disinformation was out there because it's irrelevant.
	There is another Jennifer Belter who was misidentified as the Jennifer Belter wife of Vance Belter, a doctor.
	She couldn't have been the intern because I could pull up some online sleuthing that she was a doctor as of 2006, at least according to some HIPAA website that had her as a practicing MD as of 2006.
	So I doubt that this Jennifer Belter could have been the one that interned with Tim Walls for two months in 2010.
	I've been digging, and it's actually quite shocking that there is no online evidence one way or the other to definitively confirm or disprove that these are two separate Jennifer Belters.
	It should be relatively easy for the Tim Walz campaign to definitively demonstrate that this is indeed a different Jennifer Belter.
	The biggest argument, other than Tim Walz saying so, is that people are saying her lawful name is Jenny Belter.
	Okay, sorry.
	The other argument is that a 31-year-old woman, she's 51 now, she would have been 36 at the time, would not be doing an internship.
	Intern is how they had her on the papers for the payment.
	Working for two months for Tim Walz during a campaign is very much reasonable and understandable because I presume they would need more staff either to attend to Governor Walz's official duties or to the campaign.
	So the fact that she's a 30-some-year-old woman People do internships all the time.
	Doctors do internships, and I don't think that was the doctor doing an internship for Tim Walz.
	I just want to know.
	I just want to know what evidence the Guardian saw.
	If it's just the Tim Walz statement, that's not good enough to confirm that this is, in fact, inaccurate information.
	So, public request to the Guardian, to the journalist, to Tim Walz, just show us the evidence, and we can put this all to bed.
	It would be one hell of a coincidence.
	On that note, we shall move on.
	We shall move on, but we shan't forget, and I shan't get any less obsessed with that particular story.

	I love it.
	It's the name of a country song.

	All right.
	I think we're all good here.
	Then we got, I'll just pick one up here.
	Maybe someday Tim and wife will, no, we're not going to read that one.
	Then we say, sorry, I meant, but not a sky god, says the dialogue box.
	Okay.
	Let's go to the next story.
	Speaking of Biltong, hunger strikes and trans rights.
	I'm sure you've all heard the news.
	The Supreme Court has come down with a devastating ruling that basically declares that the standard of overview of state legislation that precludes, prohibits trans treatment.
	And I put that bloody word in quotes and bloody.
	I don't even mean.
	It's child genital mutilation.
	Period.
	Full stop.
	There was an argument as to whether or not a state could implement such a legislation without it being discriminatory and therefore unconstitutional.
	And the Supreme Court came down in a ruling and basically said, we're applying the rational scrutiny.
	I'm going to read the article just so I don't mess it up.
	But bottom line, it's a state issue and it's not a discriminatory law by its nature.
	So therefore, we don't have to apply a more stringent interpretation.
	And the states can implement whatever rules they want.
	We'll get to the dumbest judge on the bench, Sotomayor, in a second.
	But Slate, which is a far left-leaning activist journalistic organization, put that in quotes, writes, Let's read, shall we?
	On Wednesday, the Supreme Court delivered a brutal blow to transgender equality in that it won't let children mutilate their genitals with hormone replacement therapy, puberty blockers, bottom surgery, double mastectomies under the guise of gender-affirming care, in quotes.
	Upholding a Tennessee law that outlaws gender-affirming care for trans youth, its decision effectively greenlit similar bans that nearly half of the states have already enacted, cutting off access to treatment for thousands of minors across the country.
	Minors accessing treatment, in quote.
	Treatment which permanently damages and mutilates their bodies, their genitals, resulting in bone density that is insufficient, micropenises, the inability to orgasm later on in life.
	That's treatment.
	It's treatment.
	My goodness, with treatment like that, who the hell needs Dr. Mengele's torture?
	As expected, the conservative supermajority hung together to justify these bans on the basis of dubious logic and contested factual claims, with Chief Justice Roberts writing for the majority and all three liberals descending.
	Yet there was friction even within the conservative bloc, with at least three Republican-appointed judges agitating to go even further in order to rubber-stamp future discrimination against transgender Americans.
	Oh yes, it's discrimination not to let a child mutilate themselves.
	Discrimination to not let children get tattoos, smoke drugs, drink alcohol.
	Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discussed the court's decision.
	Oh, we're not going down there.
	I'm not reading this.
	I want to get to the probably the dumbest judge on the bench and speaking of dubious claims and inadequate logic.
	Sotomayor, it's like people have forgotten what an absolute idiot she is.
	In the context of some of the COVID-19 lawsuits.
	That made their way to the Supreme Court.
	Sotomayor at one point said that there were 100,000 children, which were, just so I don't misquote her.
	This was from a CNN fact check.
	I forget who it was.
	This was from a left-wing fact check.
	It says a Sotomayor claim about COVID-19 and children.
	Sotomayor, a liberal, tried during the Friday hearing to emphasize the danger posed by the Omicron variant of the virus.
	She said, quote, we have over 100,000 children, which we've never had before in serious condition, and many others on ventilators, end quote.
	Facts first, Sotomayor's claim about children wasn't even close to accurate.
	According to the federal data at the time, Sotomayor spoke fewer than 5,000 people under the age of 18. Children.
	We're hospitalized.
	They're children with COVID when they're hospitalized with COVID, allegedly, but they're adults that can go mutilate their bodies when it comes to trans rights of gender-affirming care, quote, end quote.
	All right.
	Fewer than 5,000 under the age of 18 were hospitalized in the U.S. when confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19.
	The reported number of the child hospitalizations was 4,000 or whatever on Thursday, the day before the hearing, and was still under 5,000 Monday afternoon.
	And though there is no additional doubt on how many hospitalized children are in, quote, serious condition, a term Sotomayor didn't define but is used by hospitals to refer to patients who are actually ill with vital signs that may be unstable, it's overwhelmingly likely that none of them are.
	Sotomayor could have corrected.
	Sotomayor could have correctly said that the number of children hospitalized with COVID-19 is at record levels.
	So here's how they have to tell her.
	Here's how you do it next time, Sotomayor, you dumbass.
	You could have said it's at record levels without being an abject idiot.
	And she could have correctly said that the number has spiked in the last month, but she didn't.
	She could have.
	But next time, Sotomayor, you got your talking point from the fact checkers because fact checkers are godforsaken wartsmiths of the devil activists.
	In this particular decision, This is what Sotomayor wrote in her dissent with sadness.
	Last page of it, but I'll read it here.
	Let's see what we've got here.
	Male but not female adolescents can receive medicines that help them look like boys, and female but not male adolescents can receive medicines that help them look like girls.
	Tennessee's law expressly classifies on the basis of sex and transgender status, so the Constitution and settled precedent require the court to subject it to intermediate scrutiny.
	The majority contorts this logic and precedent to say otherwise, inexplicably declaring it must have pulled Tennessee's categorical ban on life-saving medical treatment so long as, quote, any reasonably conceivable state of facts, end quote, might justify it.
	Thus, the majority subjects a law that plainly discriminates on the basis of sex to mere rational basis review.
	By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.
	In sadness, I dissent.
	Jackson did something similar in another one of her dissents.
	Oh, I forget how she qualified her dissent.
	Just shut your traps and just say I dissent with sadness.
	What's ironic here, iron law of woke projection.
	The court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.
	In reality, they are victimizing children to the whims of their unhinged, deranged parents.
	It is a known fact, I won't give a number because I don't want to get it totally wrong, that the Majority or a significant portion of so-called trans children are actually on the spectrum of autism.
	Easily manipulated, easily manipulatable, easy targets for freaking disgusting perverts, Dr. Mengele's who love human experimentation and online influencers who love clout and know exactly who they need to target to manipulate.
	Life-saving medical treatment to irreparably damage.
	The bodies of children.
	Well, considering that this idiot thought 100,000 children were in serious condition for COVID, it's no shit, Sherlock, that she doesn't know what the hell life-saving treatment actually is.
	The whims of political whims.
	My ass.
	It's indoctrination of mentally vulnerable children.
	I'm going to look for the stat as we talk about this, but I would argue, and I think many have, that this is transgender ideology by proxy.
	Because in as much as you had Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
	This is parents and I would dare say majority mothers who would make their children sick because of the virtue and the pity they would get from the general community and they would deliberately make their kids sick so that they could get the sympathy.
	Transgender ideology is transgenderism by proxy because I dare say I know the stats when you notice a certain demographic of Hollywood LA liberal.
	That, for whatever the reason, have wildly, radically, statistically, impossibly high levels of transgender children, you know it's probably coming from somewhere else and not the child.
	Find a nice, vulnerable, borderline-on-the-spectrum autistic child.
	Convince them that they are, in fact, right in their confusion.
	And what do you end up with?
	You end up with Cynthia Nixon and her Jewish son.
	I'm putting both of those words in quotes.
	The child is half-Jewish because Cynthia Nixon, for those of you who don't know, was the whore from Sex and the City.
	Her husband, or the man that she had the child with, is Jewish.
	Under Jewish law, whatever.
	They'll certainly qualify as Jewish.
	The son, end quote, in question, is a girl.
	It's Cynthia Nixon's daughter who happens to be trans.
	You look up celebs who have trans, my goodness, you'll find a lot of...
	Do you want to see this?
	That's not working.
	Cynthia Nixon, according to the New York Post, says her Jewish son, who is a half-Jewish girl, is on a, quote, hunger strike, end quote, to support Gaza.
	It's a known fact that Greta Thunberg was...
	I'm pretty sure that that's a known fact.
	Yes, Greta Thunberg has been diagnosed with autism spectrum.
	It's an amazing thing, eh?
	All of these activist children exploited by their parents tend to be autistic.
	Let me see what is Cynthia Nixon's child.
	Is Cynthia Nixon's trans child autistic?
	Let's see this.
	Cynthia Nixon revealed son Steph is trans.
	This was from 2018.
	Whatever, we'll read this here.
	Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon said her son, unquote, observant Jew, end quote, is currently doing a hunger strike with friends in Chicago to support Gaza and bring attention to the humanitarian crisis there.
	So So easily manipulated, exploited for cheap political profit.
	Now she's a Jew when she wants to go and do what?
	Oh, well, look how righteous she has to be.
	She's an observant Jew who calls herself trans, a son.
	I'm fairly certain, fairly certain that it's a fundamental tenet of all religions that you're made in the image of God and that God doesn't make mistakes that need you to correct them as though you are God.
	Set that aside.
	I'm not really going to get into the absurdity of this story.
	Listen to this.
	They've got to emphasize, people, her son, Nixon, her son, Steph Moses, is doing the strike as part of the advocacy with Jewish Voices for Peace, the self-proclaimed Jewish anti-Zionist group.
	That stands in solidarity with Palestinians.
	I'm not getting into the merits of any of these claims.
	I hate these arguments.
	But my goodness, is it interesting how Greta Thunberg exploited for the climate crisis, now being exploited for the Middle Eastern crisis.
	Now they take a trans, probably on the spectrum, confused kid, call her observant Jew, and look how legitimate her position has to be now as a result.
	On hunger strike, he...
	And five other of his compatriots are doing a hunger strike in Chicago Monday.
	Nixon told Newsweek, stop starving Gaza, stop arming Israel.
	He doesn't have illusions that he's going to end the war, but I think he wants to do everything he can, she added.
	Nixon, who is best known for playing a whore on Sex and the City, that's about the extent of that story that we care about.
	Exploiting children, sexualizing children, Mutilating children and feeling so bloody righteous and virtuous while you're doing it.
	At which point Cory Booker says, "Hold my beer, Corn Pop.
	I gotta come in here." Cory, Corn Pop Booker puts out a tweet today.
	Yesterday, I guess.
	What time is it?
	June 18th?
	Yeah, it was yesterday.
	Today, the Supreme Court chose to abandon trans children in America.
	Upholding the Tennessee ban on medical care for trans kids is heartless.
	This is a sad day, but I know I will never stop fighting to protect trans children everywhere.
	I'm sorry.
	This is fucking perverted.
	I don't know how old this health god kid is.
	I'm going to look in a second here, but just listen to this adult grown ass male talking about Because that's what it is.
	Sex, sexual preferences, genitals, this freaking pervert of a zhloobby, sucking at the tit of the government, jackass Cory Booker, pathological liar, talking about children and sex because he's a fucking pervert.
	No trans children.
	I hear the fear.
	I hear the worry that they're not safe.
	Think about this for a second.
	The number one killer of children in America is gun violence.
	They talk about that, the threat there?
	No.
	Singling out more than 1% of our population has the highest rates of bullying, threats of violence.
	Heck, about 30% of LGBTQ people support missing school because of fear.
	And they made them the center of their political campaign.
	Faith teaches me to love everyone.
	That means is you lead with a more courageous empathy for the struggles of trans children Look at this, hey!
	No trans children.
	I hear the fear.
	I hear the worry.
	Josh Helfgott seems to be 35 years old.
	Another adult making the online presence that they've garnered followers for about talking about the sexuality of children.
	There's a word for that, and it's called grooming.
	And once upon a time, it used to be called perversion.
	And may we go back to a day when adults do not talk about sex or sexuality with anyone else other than their children and don't make an industry of it.
	Because at first it's grassroots, then it gets co-opted, then it gets corporatized, then it gets politicized, and then it turns into what you see right now.
	An industry built around exploiting vulnerable, mentally unwell, confused, on-the-spectrum children.
	Let me see this.
	How?
	What?
	What percentage of trans kids are autistic?
	Let's see if I can just get a quick answer to this.
	We're going with AI overview on Google.
	Research suggests there's a higher prevalence of both autism and gender diversity in the same individual than would be expected by chance.
	Multiple studies have explored this co-occurrence, including looking at the rates of autism and transgender and gender diverse individuals and we've got prevalence of autism in trans...
	Prevalence of autism in transgender and gender-diverse individuals.
	Study estimates that 11% of transgender and gender-diverse individuals are diagnosed with autism.
	This is significantly higher than the estimated prevalence of autism in the general population, which is around 1% to 2%.
	Hmm.
	Shocking.
	Doctors, perverts, politicians targeting mentally vulnerable children to confuse the ever-loving shit out of them so that the doctors can make money off of it, the politicians can score political points out of it, and the fucking perverts online can make a social media following out of it and talk to other people's children because they don't have children of their own, they can't subvert their own children that they don't have, and they get power, pleasure, and satisfaction out of subverting the children of others.
	Serenity now.
	Let me open up the rumble rant here, I think.
	No, I got the rumble rant there.
	Buffalo Betsy over on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	My daughter, nine years old, has autism, level one.
	They started teaching about climate change last year, and she started freaking out about leaving the water running while brushing her teeth and other random things.
	She tried to argue with me about climate change.
	I had to really reinforce that one, she needs to let the grownups worry about the big issues.
	And two, She would be very easy to exploit in that way.
	It's very slippery, says Buffalo Betsy.
	No, you're a thousand percent right.
	Dialogue box.
	Sorry, I meant, but not a sky god.
	Okay, now we got roosting!
	Viva, during your interview with Grobert, your wife presented her new book.
	Andrew Huberman, the neuroscientist she admires, will release his new book, Protocols, in September.
	Have you secured an interview with him where you and your wife can co-host?
	My wife got him to retweet or re-Instagram, share a post of her book.
	And I'm going to try to get him on because he's got very interesting things to talk about neuroscientifically and also politically and spiritually.
	Aunt M!
	In our VivaBarnesLaw.logs.com, he says, Viva, please interview Mahyar Tusi.
	He is an Iranian citizen, has a YouTube channel with a million followers, and presents views on Iran and Israel.
	His channel is TusiTV.
	A thousand percent.
	I'll reach out to him right after this.
	And if someone can remind me later on, because I will forget, because I am senile.
	I'd love to, because it's very interesting.
	I've had a lot of private discussions with Iranians.
	I know, I mean, I'm close.
	I told my wife, it would be really funny if we found out that a couple of the Iranians that we were very close friends with in Montreal, I said, if they turn out to be spies, it's really going to be embarrassing.
	I didn't do a bang-bang with Fang Fang, but we're good friends.
	I know that they're not spies.
	I don't think they can publicly talk about the situation, but it would be hilarious if it turns out to be that they are spies.
	Viva pulled a swalwell.
	I would love to.
	I'm always not skeptical of, but you take...
	And then everyone says, well, he doesn't speak for me.
	And then everybody says, well, I know people who say they hate Israel.
	I know people who say they love Israel for what they're doing.
	And you don't know what to do at the end of the day.
	You just gather as much information as you can and try to make the best conclusions that you can or come to the best conclusions that you can.
	All right.
	The Karen Reed trial is over.
	Nick Ricada was following it intimately.
	I was following it through the summaries provided by Joe Nierman, GoodLogic, L-A-W-G-I-C, Nick Ricada as well.
	So I wasn't as into the weeds of it as others were, and I'm not the expert on this.
	They are the experts on it.
	But from what I did see, I did say, as they went into jury deliberations, and we talked about it briefly on Sunday that, If she gets convicted, anything other than, you know, not guilty is an absolute egregious injustice and evidence of the wild corruption that went on in that prosecution, not just once, but twice.
	Spoiler alert, she was found not guilty.
	I'll read this, and I'm going to just play some clips because I was doing my best to follow with it, but I couldn't follow day in and day out.
	It was impossible.
	Impossible that she could have been found guilty.
	She was found guilty on the not DUI, but OUF operating under the influence.
	They had a biggest trial.
	I'm exaggerating.
	Two of the biggest trials ever, back-to-back, so they could convict her on operating under the influence.
	From propagandist Rag NBC, Karen Reed found not guilty of murder in retrial in Boyfriend's death.
	Reed was also acquitted of two lesser charges in the death of John O 'Keefe.
	She was convicted of operating under the influence.
	O-U-I.
	and sentenced to one year of probation.
	I don't mean to make light of operating under the influence, My goodness.
	Whoever decided to prosecute that not once but twice should be fired.
	Karen Reed, the Massachusetts woman who widely, whose widely watched murder trial ended with a hung jury last year, was acquitted of second degree murder Wednesday after prosecutors re-tried her in the 2022 death for boyfriend a Boston police officer.
	Norfolk County jury also acquitted Reed of two lesser charges, motor vehicle manslaughter while driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a collision that caused the death.
	You know why?
	Because no expert believed her vehicle struck her boyfriend O 'Keefe.
	The evidence, any whatever evidence they pretend to have found was planted.
	There was no damage to the vehicle.
	There was no way that her boyfriend was struck by a vehicle.
	And that's why they acquitted her on those lesser charges, much to the credit of the jury.
	Reed, 45, was convicted of operating under the influence of liquor.
	She was sentenced to one-year probation immediately after the verdict was read.
	Cheers could be heard where dozens of Reed supporters were positioned across the street.
	Reed tearfully hugged her family.
	There you see Karen Reed coming out now.
	Yeah, you can see her there with her attorneys, Alan Jackson, and surrounded by her lawyers.
	She's going to sign for her supporters right now.
	Wait to see whether she comes to speak as she has almost every day.
	So by the way, I think this means I love you.
	You make a mistake once and you don't forget.
	I made the joke when Kamala Harris came on stage and she did this and I said, my goodness, they're not even hiding it anymore.
	Making a joke of the devil horns.
	It was glib.
	It was facetious.
	But the internet never takes anything as lightly as it's intended.
	And it was like, Viva, you idiot.
	That means I love you in sign language.
	Not doing the devil horns peeps.
	She's had at least a few words for her supporters that have gathered there and for reporters, sometimes even previewing which witnesses were coming, which day she would give a preview of when things were likely.
	It's so wildly amazing.
	They've made a celebrity out of this individual who should never have been charged in the first place based on the evidence, based on the fact that the body was clearly placed on the snow after it had snowed and didn't.
	Wasn't there before it started snowing following GoodLogic, Joe Nierman's green grass defense theory.
	You can see her stepping up to the podium here now is the cheers and the roars from her supporters who have been gathered out there.
	Let's listen.
	I just want to say two things.
	Number one is I could not be standing here without these amazing supporters who have supported me and my team financially and more importantly, emotionally.
	for almost four years.
	And the second thing I wanna say is no one has fought harder for justice, for John O'Keefe than I have, than I have and my team.
	It's wild.
	I mean, this is the next Amanda Knox miscarriage of justice.
	Just, you know, corrupt cops who need to cover up whatever the hell happened, whether or not he got punched in the face and hit his head on the way down, and then they have to cover it up, and they don't like the girlfriend anyhow, so let's pin it on her, and let's get an entire corrupt police force to work together to frame it, to go tinker with the evidence, to float theories that make absolutely zero sense.
	From the steps of the courthouse, she read a tearful thing.
	No one has fought harder for justice for O'Keeffe than she has.
	But a member of O'Keeffe's extended family, Beth, disputes that claim.
	She called Wendy's verdict heartbreaking, expressing anger towards the outside influences that she believed influenced the results of this cut and dry case.
	You can't blame the family of the deceased for being emotional about it and wanting some form of resolution because right now they won't get it.
	She and her family have not fought for anything except for Karen Reed, Beth, who asked that her name be withheld for fear of retribution from Reed's supporters, told NBC.
	Prosecutors did not immediately comment.
	We don't need to go through all of this.
	Prosecutors alleged that Reed, fueled by intoxication and anger over her crumbling relationship, reversed her SUV into her boyfriend, left him dead in their front yard.
	Reed had just dropped O'Keefe off at Albert's home for a gathering when the prosecution said she struck him.
	Among a key...
	He called a biometrical engineer who testified that at 12.32am outside Albert's home, her Lexus was captured driving forward 34 feet, then suddenly accelerated backwards 53 feet at 24 miles an hour.
	No direct evidence of the hit was presented at trial, but the engineer testified that dozens of cuts on O 'Keeffe's right arm were consistent with injuries caused by Lexus' broken taillight.
	Pretty sure those were dog bites, if I'm not mistaken.
	Prosecutor presented crime scene photos and showed what he called a debris field that was placed there after the fact that no one saw the morning of.
	He also pointed to Reid's own words as evidence of her guilt.
	Reid found O 'Keefe's body shortly after 6 a.m., and the first responders recalled her saying, I hid him.
	Reid rejected those allegations in the first trial.
	Oh, let's see.
	In the first trial, Canone, the judge, ruled Reid's lawyer to present a third-party culprit defense or an alternative theory of the crime and identify Albert and a federal agent, Brian Higgins, as possible suspects in a conspiracy that sought to frame Reid for the death.
	Both men have denied that.
	Canone ruled Thursday that the attorneys had not met the threshold to do so.
	The defense introduced a lengthy series of text messages.
	Between Higgins and Reed in the weeks before O 'Keefe's death that showed him the two flirting.
	But she stopped texting on January 23rd.
	A move defense attorney, Alan Jackson, previously suggested could have prompted Higgins to hurt O 'Keefe.
	Before Higgins and Albert testified during the first trial, neither appeared at the retrial.
	Okay, let's see it over here.
	Ah, whatever.
	Listen to this evidence, because I was pulling together some of the highlights of the expert testifying on what didn't happen.
	And then some of the experts who testified terribly on what did.
	This is the paradigm of the when did you stop beating your wife bullshit question.
	This is one of the defense experts talking about how there was no need to examine a vehicle for a strike because no vehicle struck O 'Keefe.
	Listen to this.
	Let me make sure the volume is not too high here.
	Get any of the data evidence from the defendant's Lexus.
	No, other than looking at the contours of the back to see if it had impacted Mr. O 'Keefe.
	When you were doing differential diagnosis, did you look at any information that would tell you what the speed of that impact may have been or allegedly was?
	Well, it didn't hit him, so it doesn't matter.
	Oh, that's a problem.
	So you didn't care to know?
	Care to know that something that didn't happen didn't happen?
	Because you had already formed your opinion?
	It did not hit him, so it was not relevant to my opinion.
	By looking at the body, I could tell that there was no evidence of impact with the vehicle.
	So whether the vehicle was going slow or fast is not relevant.
	And so you didn't try to get any information about the speed of the vehicle?
	It was totally irrelevant to you?
	Correct.
	And did you also disregard?
	Well, let me ask you, do you ever look at statements?
	We could skip that part.
	So the trial went the way it should have.
	The evidence was adjuiced properly.
	And Karen Reed has been found not guilty on everything except for operating a vehicle under the influence.
	Don't do it, people.
	It's still a crime.
	But it's not murder and it's not second-degree manslaughter.
	There has been some sanity in Karen Reed.
	May she enjoy her freedom, write a book, and try to salvage some of her life that has been hijacked for the last four years with what I firmly believe, based on my understanding of the case, which is not expert level, but sufficient to have a relatively informed opinion.
	Someone else got into a fight, someone hit their head, and they hauled them outside and decided to frame Karen Reed because apparently they didn't like her none too much.
	And that's that.
	Now, what else do we have back here before we go and raid Redacted?
	Oh, we had some more highlights, but...
	Well, we'll do the update on what's going on in Iran, or at least in the context of Iran.
	So in the conference today with, She announced that Trump is going to take two weeks.
	There's going to be a pause for two weeks for Trump to decide What to do.
	And Real America's Voice, Jack Posobiec, putting out a bit of a summary saying, you know, I like it.
	Blessed are the peacemakers, and in fact, blessed are the dealmakers.
	Jack Posobiec, Poto, says the following.
	Folks, the news is breaking, and it is stunning.
	President Trump has just announced a two-week delay.
	In his decision on Iran, what can I say other than, blessed are the peacemakers, and in fact, blessed are the dealmakers.
	President Trump has announced also that Iran is, I believe he said, likely or unlikely to have negotiations.
	And discuss these negotiations in a statement through Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, which you just heard moments ago.
	That's a message to our American troops that are there stationed throughout the Middle East, to our aircraft carriers, and the thousands upon thousands of sailors on them, to the pilots, the crews.
	I want to get to the end because I like the end part here.
	To be the deal-maker ran on peace.
	He ran on being an anti-war president.
	He ran to be the deal-maker in chief.
	And if there's anyone who can put together a grand deal on Iran, Russia, and China, it's Donald J. I like Jack, and I like that music.
	It reminds me of the music from the movie Drive with Ryan Gosling.
	Great movie, great soundtrack.
	All right, we're going to go raid the redacted.
