	Ladies and gentlemen, what you are looking at right now is a flock of ostriches.
	And in the intro segment for today's episode, we are going to have an update and refreshing of Canadian authoritarianism.
	But it's so darn polite, eh?
	Ostriches are simply amazing.
	They weigh something like 300 pounds, maybe more.
	They're delicious.
	Their eggs are delicious.
	Their feathers are awesome.
	Their talons are outrageous.
	In a one-on-one fight with a lion, it's 50-50 in terms of which one lives and which one dies.
	I'm not convinced about their intelligence.
	They're like prehistoric, unbelievable creatures.
	And if you, by the way, if many of you don't know this, everybody thinks like my claim to fame was squirrels, which it might have been.
	2014, November, Viva Fry records squirrel steals GoPro, takes it up a tree, drops it.
	Internet history was created.
	If you put in Viva Fry ostriches and you just go to videos, you'll find at least 15 videos of me with some ostrich-related activity, oftentimes involving eating ostriches.
	Now, it's a terrible thing.
	They're delicious.
	They have very lean meat, which tastes like filet mignon.
	It cooks like regular red meat, but it's poultry.
	Something's driving me crazy here.
	Hold on a second.
	No, that was the wrong way.
	We're going to go this way.
	And today we are having an update in the Universal Ostrich Farms coming out of Canada.
	It's a story I've been following, I say pretty closely, closer than most since I became aware of it.
	And this is a story under which, pursuant to which, in the context of which, the totally polite, non-authoritarian Canadian government, through its CFIA, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, determined that a, not a flock of ostriches, but rather a group of ostriches, 398 or maybe 397 at this point in time, to be specific, need to be culled, slaughtered.
	Because in December 2024, a half dozen or maybe even less, a couple tested positive for the H5N1 avian flu.
	And the CFIA comes in.
	It's just an agency, A, that has total control to steal, murder your pets and property.
	Comes in and says, you got to kill all of these ostriches immediately.
	And Katie from Universal Ostrich Farm contested the decision.
	They got a federal court that stayed the execution of the decision, pun intended.
	I'm going to use that a couple of times today.
	And they have now been forced to take this case all the way to Ottawa.
	And so you're going to have Katie giving us the update because there was a stay of the order.
	A federal judge came in and said, no, the CFIA, which it's a federal agency, federal.
	It's a federal agency, but in Canada, you've got these like administrative tribunals that adjudicate on their own rules.
	And a federal court came to the conclusion that the ruling by the CFIA or whatever administrative body it was that authorized the order to kill was not fundamentally unreasonable.
	And therefore, the CFIA should go back and be able to kill 398 healthy ostriches because none of them are sick.
	And people have been asking for an update of the story, so we're going to do it.
	Katie, when you're ready to come in.
	Hi.
	How's it going?
	It's going okay.
	Yeah.
	It's thank you.
	Thank you for coming back on.
	And we've now lived through a changing of the seasons.
	It used to be winter and snowy behind you.
	Now it's beautiful greenery of BC.
	Tell the world who may not know who you are, who you are.
	So I'm Katie Pissitney.
	I'm the oldest daughter of my mom, Karen, who's owner of the Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, British Columbia.
	And I've watched these ostriches grow up and they've watched me grow up.
	So it's a pretty passionate project in keeping these animals alive.
	And it's grown into a much larger project, which with awareness and realizing that this has way more potential to do so much more harm with the stamping of policy, our freedoms, our land rights, our animals, and the complete insufficient accountability of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and excessive operational freedom that they are allowed to have.
	So it's been growing, but so hi, thanks for having me.
	The latest of what happened is there was a whole judicial saga.
	We don't need to get back into it, but CFIA comes in and says you got to kill all your ostriches because two of them tested positive for PCR, for H5N1 with a PCR test on two of the dead carcasses.
	You challenge this.
	It takes months for the ruling from the federal court to come down.
	And I said ironically that the longer it takes to adjudicate on this, the more the court's going to have to say there's no rush or even necessity to kill these birds because none of them were sick or infected.
	Nonetheless, the federal court comes in and says, yeah, the order was fine.
	You got to kill them all.
	In that time, two ostriches were found dead, but I think one of them was found dead earlier than what I initially thought.
	What was the situation with two ostriches that were found dead on your property?
	So the two ostriches were the ones that actually were requested by Canadian Food Inspection Agency to do run the tests on.
	And we thought that they were going to come out.
	And this was all off an anonymous tip, remember?
	So we had, in total, out of this, whatever came through our farm, we had 69 die.
	So, but with our, with the number of our flock is that was less than 15 percent.
	So in H5N1, you'll, if you look back in commercial poultry facility operations and stuff, you have about 20 to 30,000 that die in about 24 to 36 hours.
	So this is, this was very good.
	I mean, we had more than three quarters of our farm that had no symptoms, no deaths.
	And that's what we were really trying to highlight to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
	They requested two deceased birds to run the tests on.
	They came out and ran the controversial PCR tests, tests on just the two dead animals.
	At the same time, we asked them if we could test our healthy animals and they said no.
	We asked them if we could test the ones that had Been sick and recovered, and they said no.
	And so, then before they left with those PCR results, and before the ink could even dry out of the printer at the Abbotsford lab, which can only detect and detect H5, not the N1, they already signed our call order.
	So, the only accredited lab to diagnose the H5N1 is the lab in Winnipeg.
	And so, before we even had the H5N1 diagnosis, they already signed our call order.
	And we found that out through our legal proceedings.
	So, here we are, and now we've just won our, this would be our second stay, emergency stay.
	And our judicial review in Vancouver didn't go very well.
	They dismissed every dispute we had.
	They didn't give us our correct time to be heard.
	We agreed on 50-50.
	We had about 25% of the time to talk.
	Our judge, unfortunately, was even dozing off during our portions.
	And we were like, this is not looking very good for us.
	So we came home to hunker down with a bunch of supporters and just be prepared for the worst case scenario while we were trying to put in our information for another appeal and an emergency stay order.
	We are granted that emergency stay order right now, and we're preparing for our formal appeal in Ottawa.
	Okay.
	And there was something interesting that happened in the interim was that, hold on, the stay order.
	Oh, for goodness sake, I forgot.
	It'll come back in a second.
	We had another shot bird.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's what I meant by the two dead birds.
	So you had two ostriches found dead, shot on your property.
	Shot, yes.
	So that happened while in the last, between the last three months, we've had two.
	One, somebody came and shot at through our fence was really heartbreaking.
	It was a 12-year-old, beautiful hen named Sarah.
	And then we had one that very strangely enough, and we don't know, this is speculation on our behalf because there is not a full investigation that has been put on.
	But we had a drone, a very big drone, fly over our property one night, woke up to a beautiful rooster that was in the middle of the field and had an entrance wound, slit his neck open, and an exit wound.
	So again, there's no, the investigation is open on that.
	We have a very small policing community in Akusp, British Columbia, and we're waiting for more information on that.
	But it's been sad to see that that's taken.
	RFK Jr. took an interest in this.
	He wrote a letter to the CFIA saying, don't kill the birds.
	We would like to have them for research purposes because given that they survived apparently H5N1 infection, there would be antibodies or whatever in the yoke.
	And I don't know the science behind it, but Seth had a side says, we'll take all of them for research purposes.
	And the CFIA president replies, go pound sand.
	We have the moral obligation to kill these animals.
	Yeah.
	So forever it's been about our trading partners too.
	They've been pushing that in our in our hearings and our or in court.
	And they say that it's about our trading partner policies.
	That's been a big one.
	And so here we are.
	We have our largest trading partner saying we're willing to collaborate with you, save the research for animal and human health.
	We see something instrumental here.
	H5N1 does not persist indefinitely in an animal.
	It just does not.
	Let's work together to see what we can do.
	And yeah, basically go pound sand.
	So here we are.
	It's one of our largest trading partners.
	Now we're back to, then they came at us with we have a novel reassortment of H5N1, which is untrue again.
	And, you know, why didn't we talk about this novel reassortment not found anywhere else at the very beginning of December, if that was the case?
	There is these reassortments.
	They're just underreported.
	So our ostriches are worth way more alive than they are dead.
	We are a recovered flock.
	We have vets and doctors reaching out to us saying, hey, whoa, we have a really great opportunity here.
	We wouldn't have the option to be identified as a recovered flock if we didn't fight right out of the gates.
	They'd all be dead.
	So how many opportunities do we have to have recovered herds or recovered flocks if we just eradicate and kill the biodiversity and the genetics that they're going in with way too much operational freedom and they're killing?
	And I remembered what I wanted to mention is that the CFIA comes in and says we're going to kill these anyhow.
	There was some say internal drama or at least an internal solution, which was the local dumps.
	I don't know what word to use that were going to take the corpses said we're not taking them unless they are testing positive for H5N1, which would be impossible because they don't test positive.
	And so has that proven to be the temporary solution to preventing the CFIA from slaughtering them up until you got a stay of the order?
	Yeah, I think definitely.
	That was a huge pushback.
	I was actually on with you on a show the day I was at Regional District of the Kootenai Boundaries.
	And we didn't know how that was going to go because we went in and I just made the last question of that meeting.
	And I pleaded our case as a farm.
	I went in there, obviously, with tears.
	And I just said, please, we're all human.
	Take off your suit jackets.
	Let's look at this.
	There should be no reason that you're going to accept healthy animals.
	They need to be tested.
	And they called us back after I was on with you.
	And we had to go back.
	They put forth a motion that they would not accept any of our ostriches.
	Still makes me emotional today.
	Without new testing from May 15th on, proving that they are sick, that they will not accept them.
	So they set a precedence.
	And I do believe that pushed back somewhat.
	And I'm hoping that would carry precedence to the other regions in the area too.
	Because why are we, A, we, I don't know, any landfill was, should, we don't accept carcasses of animals.
	And we don't accept carcasses of animals.
	We shouldn't start accepting carcasses of animals.
	It has all of its own risks.
	And so we're just going to, you know, that it was a huge pushback.
	Think of the transportation and the biohazard risk on the highways and the animals eating or digging up or what had happened in the landfills with all these animals that are being accepted without testing.
	So what they were suggesting was unfeasible and just purely punitive in terms of like digging, like just dispose of them and let their, if their infected bodies are in fact infected, you know, scatter to the wind and leak into the water and whatever.
	Still protected tweets.
	Someone told me that the tweets have always been protected from the CFIA and the president, but I government accounts should not be allowed to protect their Twitter handles.
	So you are appealing the federal court decision to not strike down or override the CFIA's cull order.
	And that you're literally Katie going to Ottawa, which is like Jimmy going to Washington.
	Was that what it was?
	The guy who went to Washington in the famous movie.
	So you're going to Ottawa to the federal court of appeal.
	When is that hearing?
	So we'll find out the dates today, I believe.
	There's been a lot of people even talk about, because this isn't about policy issues, just policy issues.
	I mean, they reflect real consequences for farmers, for animals, the integrity of our agricultural system.
	This is something that's affecting everybody right now across Canada and on a global scale because the stamping of policy is not just here.
	So we'll find out those dates today.
	I'm pretty sure.
	I'll let you know.
	And there's been a lot of people even talking about maybe this will be the next, it'll be an agricultural convoy.
	You know, we're not going to blow horns downtown or anything like crazy like that, but I think it's maybe time that we unite.
	We're seeing, you know, irreversible damage to our farming communities.
	We're seeing the loss of genetics and biodiversity, failure to improve through oversight.
	Canadian Food Inspection Agency operates with excessive freedom.
	Remember this.
	They don't go checked.
	They very much failed their 2018 audit, 2021 audit.
	They all say the same thing.
	They should not have this excessive operational freedom and insufficient accountability.
	It's a problem.
	And we just need to bring back the trust in Canadians and all agricultural sector because there's real consequences with eroding trust in our agricultural industry.
	And we're seeing it all across the world.
	And so barring the two extrajudicial slings of these ostriches, you don't know who did it yet.
	The call order is on pause until there's a ruling from the Court of Appeal, which is going to be, it's funny, it's going to be reviewing the federal court's ruling, which itself was reviewing the ruling of the CFIA, which had to adhere to the deferential rule of this administrative tribunal.
	We're going to be, if you can believe this, by the time we're done, Ottawa, and if we go to our hearing, we're going to be about a half a million dollars in.
	So what's the gift send go or where can people donate at saveourostriches.com.
	It's carrying us through because right now, if you can believe, we're 161 days just healthy animals.
	We're about 180 days or more under quarantine.
	We're handcuffed to the system.
	They've handcuffed us from making money.
	They've handcuffed us from making any revenue.
	So we're really solely relying on everybody's contributions and kindness, shares, and praying to see us through what we're going through.
	I want to thank everybody for understanding how that this is a bigger global issue and that this fight with the momentum we have, we have real opportunity to create the change that all of us really desperately need.
	Katie, it's amazing.
	It's like the ups and downs of good news, bad news, good news, bad news.
	Like, oh, good news, they won't take the carcasses.
	Bad news, CFIA says we're going to kill them.
	Good news.
	RFK says we'll take them.
	CFIA, bad news, says, no, we don't want to give them to you.
	We want to kill them.
	So come back on, give us the heads, give us the update, and you and I will continue DMing back and forth.
	So when there's any update, if you can or cannot come back on, let me know.
	I'll share it with the audience.
	Let me know what the dates are.
	We can send people there to attend peacefully and patriotically.
	And Katie, keep fighting the good fight, and I'll keep doing what I can from down here.
	Yeah, you're doing an amazing job in everything you do.
	Thank you for your platform.
	And thank you for everything you stand for.
	So thank you, everybody.
	We'll talk to you soon.
	Bye-bye.
	Bye-bye.
	Okay, people, that's the Canadian side of things.
	Canadian tyranny, I love how Katie calls it unchecked freedom.
	And then you realize like unchecked freedom, when it's on the government side, is tyranny.
	It's limitless tyranny.
	Unchecked freedom for the government is limited tyranny.
	Actually, hold on.
	Let me rephrase this.
	That's even better.
	Unchecked freedom for the people is a God-given right.
	Unchecked freedom for the government is absolute tyranny.
	Write that down, people.
	Before we get into the American side of things, we're going to have Brianna Morello back on at about, let's say, a boot 345.
	She's breaking a couple of stories, one of which is going to dovetail from, follow from what we're going to talk about right now, which is the deal or no deal as it relates to a ceasefire in the Middle East.
	But before we even get there, what we do need to do is thank our sponsor for today's show.
	And oh, son of a beasting like this.
	Now I go here like this.
	Now I go here like this.
	And I bring up the B-roll video that you're going to watch and enjoy as I tell you about today's sponsor.

	am obsessive compulsive i think everybody knows that right now but it's called pure o or oc pure i think it's called pure o google it it's obsessive compulsive disorder with insight and so you know that you're crazy type thing you know that when you're having obsessive thoughts you know that when you're having intrusive thoughts you know that when you step into the elevator chances are it's not going to shift and split you in half and kill you instantaneously although it does happen more often than you could possibly understand so i'm aware of these things it also comes with a little bit of superstition anxiety
	all the other great stuff for the last couple of weeks now i think it's actually being referred to as the 12-day war everything out of the middle east of the wars have to have a name that refers to the duration of it you have the six-day war the seven-day war the 12-day war it's being referred to as the 12-day war and i'm not saying this as a um casting shade it's being called the 12-day war while some people don't refer to it as a war it's being referred to as not war but
	coordinated military strikes all of which might be distinctions without a difference to the extent that what the concern is for what's going on in the middle east right now is again u.s involvement again in foreign wars again in the middle east and then the question is always are we doing it based on accurate intel or are we doing it based on flawed intel which we think is the best intel and totally accurate as typically is the case and
	for the last two weeks it started it was initiated with strikes by israel against iran because the determination had been that iran is now weeks away from a nuclear capable weapon i hear everybody out there saying the same thing screaming at their computer iran has been two weeks away for 20 years i appreciate all arguments on all sides here some people would say they've been close for a long time and they keep getting pushed back whether or
	not it's by military intervention or by stuxnet that they did a while back bottom line agree or disagree with it the argument goes to the effect that they are now closer than they've ever been and it's necessary to pound them militarily israel goes in with strikes uh trump puts out some truth posts the day of indicating that creating some confusion as to whether or not it was known it was planned whether or not israel went in a little bit early whether or not there was a strategy
	that trump had in place that was foiled by premature escalation by netanyahu and israel and uh then you have operation midnight hammer which was the u.s military flying in with b-2 bombers destroying purportedly or at least severely damaging three nuclear facilities which were in the middle of the desert hidden in bunkers and the ensuing uh concerns that resulted from yet
	again more escalation in the middle east and apparent more involvement either by hook crook or necessity of america in this war between israel and iran okay yesterday after people are complaining oh no we are back in yet another middle eastern conflict people say no it's not war it's just targeted military strikes much like when trump took out solemni back in 2020 um and then you have the announcement of the
	ceasefire deal and what's very what's interesting in all of this uh i it's it's a little dismaying but i should probably you can't write off everybody's opinion on the internet as though they're bots you can't write off everybody's opinion on the internet as though they're trolls and what is interesting in all of this is the division that this seems to be creating among the right division uh is not necessarily the same thing as disagreement disagreement is healthy and it's a sign that you're not in a cult when people
	who subscribe to the same political ideologies or the same political party disagree with one another that's how you have healthy debate and progression of ideas within the party where disagreement becomes division is where you have outright demonization of either side who agree to disagree or don't agree to disagree and you had the likes of tucker carlson candace owens uh alex jones who else jack pasobic owen
	schroier some people populist voices being anti-war seemingly getting i say defamed or attacked by those on the right who are calling them disinform purveyors of disinformation and or shills and or whatever and then you have the people who are seem to be gung-ho at all costs go in and nuke annihilate iran and it's been i'm not i'm not trying to thread the needle in terms of fence sitting i you know from the from the beginning for
	whatever my opinion is worth anything on on the fence i think most people although not most people some people do think iran should be entitled to have a nuclear weapon it would be the ultimate deterrent uh and the arguments for that i think are more along the lines of no country should have a nuclear weapon not that iran should acquire a nuclear weapon and then their retort is well if some countries who shouldn't have a nuclear weapon have a nuclear weapon all countries who shouldn't have a nuclear weapon should have a nuclear weapon and that i just think is okay stupid
	reasoning period others say iran is hell-bent on annihilation of the state of israel uh genocidal suicidal homicidal irrational terrorist state and they can never have a nuclear weapon others would then say for a state that is anti-semitic genocidal terroristic suicidal homicidal whatever they've got the biggest population of jews living in their country outside of israel in the middle east and then the argument to that the response
	is well they're not so much anti-semitic as they are anti-state of israel and if they ever were to acquire a nuclear weapon they would immediately use it against israel you have yesterday trump coming out and announcing a ceasefire between iran and israel patrick betdavid whose tweet I don't have on the subject, I think was the most on point in that if this ceasefire lasts, Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, period, full stop.
	If all of the strategizing, the pinpoint, what was it, military strike, there was a word for it, the pinpoint, coordinated military strike actually results in a ceasefire and, I don't know, resumption of the Abram Accords discussions and negotiations, Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
	Whether or not that prize would be worth anything given the other abject failures and horrible people who have won it, Trump might say, thank you.
	I'll give the million bucks to somebody, a nice charity, and you can take your Nobel Peace Prize back.
	It's not worth whatever it's made with.
	And yesterday, after the ceasefire was announced, you had people taking victory laps on the internet.
	And everyone's looking for the gotcha on Twitter.
	The people who were criticizing or concerned about the escalation, well, now they get to have their faces rubbed in it because there's a ceasefire.
	And being OCD and totally superstitious, and having lived through this now at least two or three other times, to get prematurely excited about a ceasefire in the Middle East is the embodiment of counting your chickens before they're hatched.
	I am so superstitious.
	Like when people say they're pregnant, it's like, okay, well, how pregnant are you?
	Two months?
	Okay, just wait until you're showing before you say it.
	I think it's like one in four pregnancies doesn't end in delivering a baby.
	And I'm so superstitious.
	You tell people that you're pregnant and everyone's like, oh, you're posting the pictures and then something happens and then it's devastation.
	Peace in the Middle East is much like that, except ceasefires in the Middle East.
	More often than not, if not every single time, there are violations of the ceasefires, escalation, de-escalation, whatever, every side blames the other side for having violated the ceasefire.
	Okay, the announcement comes out.
	People start taking a victory lap.
	It's nice to be optimistic and it's nice to cross your fingers and pray to God that Trump can actually pull this off.
	And then before the ink even dries on the ceasefire that had been announced for the future, both sides are violating the ceasefire and both sides are blaming the other party for the ceasefire.
	Which brings us to the video that went viral this morning.
	And one can ask some questions after having seen this video.
	Where is it?
	Here, Ceaseman.
	I think this is the one.
	This is the one, people.
	And if you're sensitive to F-bombs, children, cover your ears, earmuffs.
	This is Trump this morning talking about the ceasefire, the apparent mutual bilateral violation of the ceasefire that hadn't even come into effect before both parties are violating it.
	And Trump visibly frustrated about this.
	If you said that you have wrong, violated the peace agreement, the peace fight agreement.
	Are you concerned that Iran violated the ceasefire agreement from the journalist?
	Do you believe that Iran is still committed to peace?
	Do you believe that Iran is still committed to peace?
	Yeah, I do.
	They violated it, but Israel violated it too.
	Are you questioning if Israel was committed to peace?
	Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before.
	The biggest load that we've seen.
	I'm not happy with Israel.
	You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.
	So I'm not happy with them.
	I'm not happy with Iran either.
	But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because of one rocket that didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land.
	I'm not happy about that.
	You know what?
	We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
	Do you understand that?
	I will tell you this without reservation and without hesitation and without the slightest feeling of guilt.
	You can call me bias for the rest of your days.
	I love Donald Trump as a politician.
	I've never, I met him once.
	I didn't even meet him.
	I don't think he doesn't know who the hell I am.
	When I introduced him at that evening of lawfair, John Easton, John Eastman and others at Mar-a-Lago.
	And as I'm up there doing this panel with victims of lawfair, I see Donald John Trump in the back of the room.
	And we were actually talking to John Eastman about his role as an attorney for Donald Trump, for which he was receiving all sorts of lawfare attempts to disbar arrests and whatever.
	And I got to introduce Donald John Trump to the crowd and it was amazing.
	In as much as you can love a personality that you've never met in real life, and as much as you can know, as much as you can know about someone that you've never met in any meaningful sense in real life, through the words of others, through the people who know him best, I love Donald Trump.
	He is the president for our time.
	And I can hear the people out there saying, if you love him, then you have to respect everything that he does and no questions.
	No, no, no, no, and no.
	That being said, to come out and say they've been fighting for so long, neither of them know what the fuck they're even doing to journalists.
	It's not for the journalists that he's saying that.
	It's for the implicated parties.
	Some people are going to say Iran knows exactly what it's doing.
	It wants to annihilate the state of Israel.
	Some people are going to say Israel knows exactly what it's doing.
	It wants regime change in Iran.
	At which point, someone's going to have to say, if Israel wants regime change in Iran and Iran wants to annihilate Israel off the face of the map, there can be no ceasefire.
	So either the expectations of what both parties want is actually not accurate, in which case you don't have a ceasefire, or it is, in which case you don't have a ceasefire.
	The bottom line, they've been fighting for so long, neither of them know what the F they even want.
	But when Trump gets out there and says, I'm not happy with either of them, when we announce a ceasefire, that's the ceasefire, by the way, as of last night, I think it was like a six-hour timeframe or a 12-hour timeframe within which the ceasefire was going to take effect.
	And I guess it's because some planes were already in mid-operation and it takes some time to call them back.
	When someone calls a ceasefire, announces apparently a bilateral mutual ceasefire.
	And then one party says, well, I'm going to take this window of opportunity to bomb the shit out of your country.
	I mean, it's like saying, tomorrow I'm going to go on A year of celibacy.
	So tonight I'm going to go to Vegas and have sex with as many hookers as possible.
	It's like saying, tomorrow I'm going to check myself into rehab.
	Tonight I'm going on a bender.
	It's not how it works.
	It's not to the spirit of the ceasefire.
	And when Trump gets out there and says, yeah, we announced a ceasefire.
	And then apparently, Bibi, who, if he's hell-bent on regime change, a ceasefire is not going to satisfy any of his desires, says, okay, well, ceasefire in 12 hours, six hours, until then, let's go bomb the living Bejesus out of Iran.
	Then Iran's like, we're not going to sit here and get pummeled for the next six hours.
	We're going to, okay, doesn't matter.
	That's what happened.
	Trump comes out and says, we have a ceasefire.
	We need to get to that timeframe within which this is going to be implemented.
	And then the question is going to be, where does it go after this?
	That's where we are right now.
	I don't know if everybody watched Steven Crowder today.
	Stephen Crowder had an, it's a very interesting show and so important, by the way, he made the announcement at the beginning that he broadcast the first 15 or 20 minutes on CommiTube as well.
	He had an interesting show talking about addressing misinformation and disinformation in the context of this internal divide within the right.
	And he went on to address some bombastic, hyperbolic, inflammatory tweets from Candace Owens, Stu Peters, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson.
	I think there was one more whose name I'm forgetting.
	And as I'm watching it, I'm listening, and hopefully I'm going to get to do an interview with Stephen Crowder before the end of the week, and it'll be fantastic if we can do it.
	Everybody's very busy and timing is hectic.
	When Crowder was going over some of the arguments, some of the disinformation, misinformation that you see online, and it makes for the discourse online to be impossible.
	You can't fence it.
	If you defend Israel, you're a Zionist shill, a Zionist pig.
	If you are mere questioning of the intervention, you become a terrorist sympathizer and you become an anti-MAGA.
	And I had a bit of a back and forth with Roseanne Barr, oddly enough, on Twitter.
	Another person who, and as much as I think I can like someone who I've never met, I think I like Roseanne Barr, where people say, look, you cannot question Trump's judgment.
	If you like him, if you love him, if you think he's the president of our time, you have to be absolutely deferential to his judgment.
	I don't know if it's here or always, but it's certainly not always because I happen to think that the reason why I love Donald Trump as a politician and as the president of our time is because he does listen to the feedback, not of the, I'm not even going to use the word clickbait.
	He listens to the feedback of the people.
	And we now know this because J.D. Vance, as we now know, it's been stated publicly elsewhere, was in communication with Richard Barris about the sentiment of the people who put Trump into office as relates to the prospect for another potential conflict in the Middle East.
	But Crowder on his show is talking about the arguments, you know, like the disinformation that America is Israel's bitch is the, to put it crassly.
	America does Israel's bidding.
	Israel controls America.
	And Stephen Crowder's point was that this sound clip from Trump, Trump's entire MO here, is clearly illustrative of the fact that Israel doesn't control the U.S. I put out the question earlier in terms of how this all got started.
	How did this all get started?
	When Bibi goes and bombs Iran, the question is this.
	Were Trump and Netanyahu working together in concert, organizing, orchestrating, and in full knowledge of what was going to happen as relates to those strikes?
	Did Netanyahu prematurely strike, knowing that it would somehow inevitably suck Trump into this conflict, if only temporarily through precision pinpoint military strikes?
	Did he do it prematurely?
	Apparently many think that because Trump hadn't yet successfully evacuated the area and it came a little bit earlier than what Trump might have wanted, ostensibly based on some public statements he was going to make the week after.
	Does Bibi do it knowing that it's going to drag Trump and America into this, sort of deceitfully, sort of backhandedly?
	The other question is, is America using Israel to do its dirty work and fight Iran?
	There are three, and then this fourth, you know, everyone has their variations of the questions.
	So as it relates to how this all gets going, is Netanyahu acting prematurely and without authorization of Trump and then sort of doing it, knowing that it's going to drag Trump into this conflict, if only temporarily?
	Is Trump using Bibi to fight a proxy war against Iran, knowing that America doesn't necessarily have the public support for an outright war with Iran, so they can use Israel to do it?
	Or is it a little bit of both doing it in concert, in tandem for their own respective positions?
	Okay, I, full disclosure, happen to think that Bibi was potentially backhanded in the premature strikes on Iran, which ultimately drew America in to Operation Midnight Hammer.
	And I think what we might be seeing is a little bit of the frustration coming out as relates to Trump.
	Okay.
	So as it relates to Israel being the master of America, I don't subscribe to it.
	I don't adhere to that philosophy.
	I think it's, I understand the argument of those who are making it.
	I think it's by and large cherry-picking to come to that conclusion.
	But the flip side is, and this is one which I hope to discuss with Crowder, the theory that many people ascribe to is that I'm saying this purely analytically without espousing it, that Israel, the argument goes,
	is to the extent they might be trying to drag America into a conflict, the question is then to what degree is Israel an ally or using America's might to carry out its own bidding in the U.S. That is the argument that I think people need to address without writing it off as anti-Semitism or racist, bigoted philosophies.
	It's a legit question, and every country should be acting in its own best interest.
	And to the extent that Israel thinks it is in its own best interest to potentially exploit that relationship, it's a fair question to ask.
	But the bottom line is we're going to see where this ceasefire goes, because you've lived through this once, you've lived through this a number of times, and the ceasefires simply do not last.
	And then it's just the same old game of each party blaming the other for having violated the ceasefire.
	And based on what Trump said today, I wonder what happens to both Israel and Iran if Trump simply says, All right, we tried to help, we did what we think we needed to do to neutralize the nuclear threat posed by Iran.
	You two big boys can't figure it out through a ceasefire.
	Go have at each other.
	And we'll see who is more unhappy with that relationship if Trump decides to do that.
	Now, let me see what I was going to do with this.
	Why would this even be here?
	This is not the tweet that I wanted to bring up.
	I don't think I've missed anything.
	Have there been any later breaking developments on what's been going on there?
	The Remanded says, so happy to hear the ostriches continue.
	Get help.
	On another BC-related issue, I have a give, send, go to bring a lawsuit to elections, British Columbia officials, search BC election lawsuit, confirmed violations.
	Everyone who has not been following the remanded on Twitter, follow the remanded.
	It's Canadian stuff.
	Might be more or less interesting for what you're interested in if you're American, but the Remanded does amazing work.
	The Twitter handle is The Remanded.
	And let me just share the tweet and the handle with everybody so you can check it out because he's been following the British Columbia election case and there was some chicanery going on there.
	Link.
	Okay, that was that.
	And then there was also Rodiodo says, Vivo, watch the speech from the crown prince of Iran.
	I believe the people of Iran will rise up and kick the current regime out.
	God is in control and Trump is in his hands.
	That's the other.
	So I got into a back and forth with this with a couple of people, Roseanne also were like I say, like, are we not allowed voicing our respectful disagreement with Trump?
	One of the biggest issues I had during the election cycle, and it was, again, when you are behind the politician, your criticism is not intended to tear them down.
	It's intended to make them the better Candidate and to resolve or address some of the concerns that, as someone who speaks to a mildly large audience daily, you know that people have.
	When Trump gets up there and touts the beautiful effectiveness of that vaccine, and I'm putting that in quotes in my own head, but I'll put it with my fingers.
	And when he praises Johnson and Johnson and you have people booing him at, I think it was a ball game, you got to make sure Trump hears that people are pissed off with that so-called vaccine.
	They want Fauci prosecuted.
	They want Pfizer prosecuted.
	They want Johnson and Johnson prosecuted.
	They don't want to hear when they've been vaccine injured or they know someone has been vaccine injured, the president still touting the success of Operation Warp Speed.
	And admittedly, Operation Warpspeed was intended to find a vaccine that prevented the contraction of the virus while leaving open alternative remedies and without mandating that jab to everybody.
	Operation Warpspeed was hijacked.
	It was abused.
	And Trump was lied to by Pfizer and by Fauci.
	And that's the way the people view it.
	And for him to get out there and say, big, beautiful, great vaccine, greatest invention ever, it's tone deaf.
	And you don't try to bring that to his awareness to tear him down.
	And you don't not bring that to his attention because you think he's infallible.
	When it comes to this, we'll see.
	I believe that Trump has heard the concerns of the American people.
	I think now he's seen a bit of the potential underhandedness.
	I mean, everybody expects underhandedness from Iran, but he's now potentially experiencing yet again the nature of the conflict in the Middle East.
	Not to say it goes on forever, but it goes on until it ends.
	And the question is, does it end with American involvement, boots on the ground, another 20-plus-year war that yields absolutely nothing that may or may not have been predicated on inaccurate or exaggerated information at the time?
	We shall see.
	But that leads us into the breaking news of the day coming out of Brianna Morello's Twitter feed.
	And you follow her work, you'll want to after this.
	They have arrested apparently 11 Iranians, illegal Iranians in America.
	And the concern now is that sleeper cells of Iranians who have crossed the border during Joe Biden's infiltration, inundation, what's the word I'm looking for?
	Invasion of America through his open borders, whether or not now terrorist sleeper cells who have snuck their way into this country are waiting to be activated as a result of what's going on in the world.
	Brianna, I see you in the backdrop if you want to pop on or activate your camera and mic as soon as you can.
	There we go.
	Brianna, how goes the battle?
	Good, good.
	It's been a crazy day thus far.
	Obviously, a lot coming out of Iran today.
	We have learning more and more, like you just detailed, but we're excited that DHS is doing its job and taking these dangerous individuals off the streets.
	There was a story, I DM'd DHS, not that they follow me on Twitter, a story of some freaking Danish guy, Mads Mikkelsen, who allegedly was denied entry into America because he had a meme of Vance, J.D. Vance on his phone.
	I'm like, there is more to this story than a Danish or Dutch or whatever Scandinavian kid getting denied entry into America because he had a meme of J.D. Vance, a meme that J.D. Vance himself tweeted.
	So hopefully I'll get an answer on that.
	But first of all, before we even get into the story of the Iranians being arrested by DHS, has there been any more breaking news?
	Has the ceasefire officially come into effect right now or has it been officially violated yet?
	Oh, well, CNN just came out.
	And again, CNN, so don't credit me.
	This is what CNN is saying.
	And saying that unfortunately, the airstrikes that were led by the United States.
	I don't know if you covered this part before I jumped in, did not go and strike at the core of Iran's nuclear program.
	So there's that.
	They're citing the Pentagon, their intelligence division.
	So a lot to wait and kind of see unravel there because, again, it's CNN.
	So I don't want to.
	And I'll say this.
	I'm not looking for, I told you so's, when national security and the future of the president, who I think is the president of the time, is at risk.
	The day after, when they struck Operation Midnight Hammer.
	And Fox News is having a political orgasm at this strike and the amazing, you know, mission accomplished, catastrophic damage.
	And I'm like, first of all, the next day, members of the, I don't know if it was Pentagon saying, we need to assess the damage.
	And yet Fox News is saying, the night of, it's a smashing success.
	And I was like, this is going to age badly because I was reading at the time conflicting reports that I'm going to miss out the names, but one of them was severely damaged.
	And another one might have only been mildly damaged.
	What have you heard?
	Coming out of CNN, take it with a grain of sand.
	But it's what happens in these things.
	Oh, we didn't get the destruction that we needed.
	We've got to either go back or now we didn't actually do anything other than prove that we can't be negotiated with.
	What did CNN say?
	They're just keeping it vague.
	They're just saying that although President Trump has claimed victory and claimed that we've destroyed their nuclear program, we may have just stalled it for a couple of months, that it will resume soon.
	I honestly, when I was watching Fox News, you know, as a former Fox News producer, my gut kind of was like, oh, this doesn't seem right because everyone was so quick to jump on the bandwagon and say that we destroyed Iran, completely annihilated their nuclear program.
	And you wouldn't know that fast if we actually did do just that.
	And we didn't even know if there was any leakage as well.
	And I think that was like the big point for me.
	I was just like, ah, this sounds kind of like, and I hate to say it, but it sounds like propaganda.
	You know, listen, just because the guy that I voted for is now in the White House doesn't mean I have to spew their talking points and go with whatever they tell me.
	You're allowed to ask questions, especially when you're a journalist.
	So if you're someone over at Fox News and you're just reading what's coming out of the White House and you're just saying what they're saying and you're saying how incredible it was and how big it was and, you know, we could say congratulations to the president and we congratulate him a lot, but still say to your audience that there's a lot we don't know and we're going to wait a little bit before we disclose all this information.
	I think that's fair and that's balanced journalism.
	No, and what's amazing is, you know, when I put up the tweet and everyone's like, well, what do you know?
	I was like, I read conflicting reports.
	Egyptian intelligence was saying it wasn't as devastating a strike as was initially thought.
	And then people say, Egyptian intelligence, it's worth nothing.
	Except when it comes out that Egyptian intelligence forewarned Israel of October 7, then people, it's the cherry-picking of what you rely on that kind of drives me nuts.
	But the idea that they could have come out afterwards like so immediately and said this was a smashing Catastrophic success before the dust had even settled.
	Some people were saying, Look, you know, we got the aerials and there's no difference between the satellite images, but it's bunker busters and it doesn't create massive craters on the top of the land.
	It destroys things underneath.
	But how the hell do you know the night of?
	The operation was conducted with success, but I had a feeling that that, that, what's the word, jubilism from Fox News was going to age badly.
	And then it's going to be a question, well, what do you do now?
	Like you've kicked a hornet's nest.
	You have to go back and finish the job.
	Did you read the reports that there were satellite images of vehicles, like unusual activity around the nuclear facilities in the days before the strikes?
	And some people did that.
	Okay.
	And I don't know how reliable it is.
	Some people are hypothesizing that Iran knew it was coming and took whatever was essential out of it.
	Yeah, I did hear that too.
	Yeah, it's hard to tell, honestly, right?
	Because their government's not going to be honest with us.
	And I'm talking about their government specifically.
	So I would say that I don't trust anything that comes out of this right now.
	I'm hopeful that President Trump is going to end their nuclear program.
	I just didn't want it to go to striking means.
	Like, I didn't want them to go and attack.
	That's just me personally.
	We've, you know, we grew up during these times where we heard weapons of mass destruction used to validate the Iraq war.
	And we all know how that ended up for us.
	So I just didn't want it to get to a violent point.
	Now, obviously, Iran's completely embarrassed themselves.
	I think their fake attacks on the U.S. base in Qatar really prove that, that they're actually not prepared for war.
	And so I think it's probably in their best interest now, after being embarrassed, to bow out gracefully on this one.
	But again, if they are working on a nuclear weapon, that should have every country in this world ears perking up right now.
	So we'll see how that unravels.
	I just can't imagine it going well.
	Someone referred to it as the Schrödinger box or a Schrödinger box that some people don't think Iran had the weapons.
	And so if you blow up these facilities, then you've blown up nuclear programs that doesn't actually exist.
	The fact that they had such a lackluster response probably showed that they didn't have that much of a nuclear weapons program advanced to the point of imminent risk.
	And now Trump is probably, after having done the damage he did, maybe forced, hand forced by Bibi's premature action.
	He said, we set them back.
	Now we can actually sit back and not have to worry about escalating this conflict and let Israel and Iran figure it out.
	But bringing it back now to the news of the day, let me bring it up.
	Is it this one right here?
	I believe.
	No, that's Mark 11. Hold on.
	We'll get to Mark 11 in a second.
	It was the other tweet that you had, which was.
	Yeah, I could go through it right now because I have it pulled up.
	Yeah, I don't want to keep pulling up the Mark 11 one.
	I'm so excited to get to Mark 11. All right, sorry.
	It was that 11 Iranian illegals were apprehended by DHS.
	Break down the context for us.
	Yeah, so interesting enough, this just recently took place where DHS did corner these 11 illegal aliens in and arrest them.
	And the stories behind it are quite interesting.
	The pronunciation on these names is very difficult.
	So I'll just try my best to go about this.
	But ultimately.
	Ribvar Karimi in Locust, Alabama.
	I'm more interested in the name of the city.
	All right, sorry.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah.
	Well, so apparently he is someone, and this was like the big red flag that went off my head when I was reading the press release that came out earlier today from DHS.
	They said that he served as an Iranian army sniper in 2018 to 2021.
	He obviously made his way into our country recently.
	And when he was arrested, he had an Islamic Republic of Iran Army ID.
	That sounds like a sleeper cell to me.
	I know I've spoken to my sources over at the FBI.
	A great retired agent, George Hill, he was a supervisor for years.
	He said that he didn't think that there was like really an orchestrated sleeper cell movement in our country right now.
	This seems to kind of poke a little at that argument, I'd say.
	There was also another individual who admitted to having connections, the Hezbollah.
	Obviously, that's the Iranian terrorist organization, the proxy as well.
	Let me pause you there because I'm going to connect a dot and people can choose to think I'm crazy or not.
	Iranian army sniper.
	And then we go back to July 13 and the absolute catastrophic, inexplicable security failures that allowed for the perch for a sniper.
	And had it been this man as opposed to Crooks who missed his shot, and then we'd be in hot war with Iran right now.
	Okay, that's interesting.
	Do we move we move on to Mehran Makadi Saheli?
	Yep, so that's the one with the Hezbollah ties.
	Interesting enough, he is a former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
	So that's something also interesting to note as well.
	There was another suspect, too, who just came out recently in that lineup that I have, where he's also being accused by potentially, I think it was the DH, I think it was DHS, of having ties to terrorism.
	Now, there's nothing really specific there, but again, that's just one thing to remember.
	And then the rest of them are all individuals who at some point threaten ICE agents, which I think is interesting, right?
	Because the one female that was arrested, Lynette is her first name, she threatened to open fire on ICE officials if they entered her home.
	Then she said she would go outside and shoot ICE officers in the head.
	That's according to DHS.
	So there's a lot of things here that are very, very interesting.
	These people appear to be violent.
	They appear to have possession of firearms, which again, if you're not a U.S. citizen, you shouldn't have possession of firearms.
	So I think it's interesting that this all happened.
	Now, a lot of these individuals, we don't know when they came into the country.
	One of the suspects is actually arrested.
	You can see here in his image, his image that they've used in the press release.
	He's got a gun, a handgun in his pants.
	That's what I was looking at right here.
	I couldn't tell if that was a gun or an iPhone.
	I'm not trying to be funny.
	Yeah, it's a gun.
	This is a gun.
	This guy right here looks like he has a black eye for whatever the reason, or maybe it's just a birthmark.
	Yeah.
	Based on the reporting now, is it known whether or not there's any connection between the 11 of them?
	Nope, they haven't said so.
	And I actually reached out to CHS.
	I wanted to know what sparked their interest in getting these 11. And they wouldn't give me specifics.
	I did ask them if they thought they were sleeper cells specifically.
	They did not answer that question.
	I asked them if they had any kind of connection Or was there any type of similar, like a type of relation between all of them?
	And they did not answer that specifically.
	They just pointed me back to the press release.
	So we don't really know much, but I would say, based on the timing of all of this, that it's safe to say that they probably had some feelings about these individuals.
	And that's the reason why they prioritized arresting them.
	But again, I mean, we sat there and saw hundreds, thousands of people from the Middle East flood into our country during the Biden administration.
	I could only imagine these numbers being significantly higher.
	And also keep in mind, right, the Mexican cartels, they all knew how to push these people into our country where it would keep Border Patrol busy.
	And then there would be other areas of our border that would be unguarded.
	I can't imagine the individuals that they snuck in through those areas.
	It's going to be serious.
	It's concerning, obviously.
	I'm very, very worried.
	But my FBI friends tell me just to be careful because George Hill told me this.
	He said, keep in mind, Brianna, when you're seeing the FBI put out a statement like we just did recently, and it says that they're going to be monitoring these individuals who could potentially be sleeper cells, that's surveillance.
	And that could possibly be surveillance on the American people as well.
	They've done it in the past.
	So it could just be an excuse for that.
	So yeah, I think we're just going to have to see and hope that DHS gets all of these bad guys off the streets.
	And that's why we should be supporting ICE right now.
	What's amazing, and people don't seem to appreciate just how bad and egregious it was.
	Why would Middle Eastern people be crossing the border from Mexico?
	Like, how are they being funded to get from the Middle East to wherever it is in South America that they ultimately make their way to the border with Mexico?
	I mean, and not just Middle Eastern.
	Anyone who's not from South America, it makes no sense that they would find a way to the means to travel to South America to then cross illegally via the Mexican border.
	And it was criminal dereliction of duty, as far as I'm concerned, by obviously Biden, but more specifically, Mallorcas should be, I don't even know, not impeached, indicted.
	Okay, so that's the, that's a, I'm gonna see if we can follow up on that.
	All right, so they've been arrested, 11 Iranians, and I'll see if I can find an estimate as to how many are alleged to have snuck over the border.
	And just also to add in, there was one U.S. citizen who was also arrested, and that was for harboring one of these illegal aliens.
	Was she a judge or he a judge?
	Bada boom, bada, boom.
	Okay, so that breaking news, very interesting that they are obviously concerned about an Iranian connection and as a result of what's what I'm looking for, sleeper cells being activated by the action in Iran.
	All right.
	But speaking, people who are, I made the joke on Saturday that if you're if you are, if Mark Levin is happy, the old joke is that if you're, if ever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to take a step back and reflect.
	If Mark Twain, I jokingly said, if ever you find yourself on the same side as Mark Levin, it's time to step back and reflect.
	Mark Levin really can, I mean, my partner in crime, Robert, really loathes Mark Levin, you know, believes that his allegiance is to Israel and not to America.
	And that's not because he's, that's not an anti-Semitic statement.
	It is because it seems to me that he's a war whore who will do whatever is necessary for the benefit of Israel.
	And that's fine, so long as you can just up and admit that.
	Loyalty should be to nation.
	And if you're not loyal to the nation in which you live, you should go live in the country to which you're loyal.
	But the breaking news that you well, we'll see if it's breaking because I know there's a little bit of a caveat, is that apparently he's been appointed to the board.
	He's been appointed to Homeland Security Advisory Council by Trump and Christian O. Administration also appointed at Giuliani, Lewandowski, Steve Kirby, and more.
	Tell us about this because I understand there might be a bit of a timing issue where it might not be potentially breaking, or at least it might have occurred back in the past, but been, I don't know, publicized today.
	Yeah, so it's strange because normally they wouldn't do this in a press release, but DHS sent out this press release and they said that this board, these appointee announcements were coming out today, both from the White House, from President Trump, and from DHS Secretary Christy Noam.
	So again, they said today, the title of it says President Trump Announces Appointment to Homeland Security Advisory Council.
	So everything is today.
	But if you didn't remember that back in April that apparently the White House, President Trump released on Truth Social a statement naming our good friend Mark Levain to this advisory council and that's sarcasm by the way then you were in not in the know but ultimately what happened was I reached out to DHS DHS said that they just released the entire list today announced it today because there was new individuals added to that list now I don't know who the new individuals are as of yet because everyone is still wrapped up in that one list
	but I could tell you probably some big names that your audience is familiar with it obviously we just talked about Mark Levain there's also Rudy Giuliani as well on that list Corey Lewandowski also on that board as well and I was told by a friend of mine that it's kind of balanced because they also named an individual from the Muslim Coalitions for America to the council as well so that's gonna be Mark's they're truly bipartisan they want to hear from the war whores and the and
	the peacenicks and everyone in between I just I in Cryptus who's uh you know helps me with the show and he put together basically a top 10 if you will of uh mark levin's uh accomplishments in a national review article iraq war 101 levin argued that removing saddam hussein was essential to american security and global stability presenting the invasion as justified wmds he claimed that soldiers uh wounded or degraded chemical weapons remnants vindicated the bush
	administration original wmd rationale uh praise for the shariat airbase strike support the man there's never been a war in the middle east that is um not one to get involved with but maybe it's not as shock what is the role of this of this advisory board at any event or what what what is the uh what functions does it serve so it looks like they're going to be having their first meeting in the upcoming days that was the big announcement but it's just meant to uh leverage their experience expertise and
	national and global connections of its memberships to provide dhs secretary chrissy noome with real-time real world and independent advice on the homeland security operations that's what they're saying amazing it sounds like maybe they just have him on there to know what not to do um all right that's funny that's that's funny and that's very cool um brianna what else is going on yeah well i mean a lot going on in the world today uh you know i have been on x breaking news all week
	uh Just to kind of go over a lot of different things, let's say we could talk about, I know a lot of people don't know this.
	And you might actually learn something with this one.
	A lot of people don't know that our Canadian border is actually one of the most dangerous when it comes to known terrorists coming into the United States.
	Oh, Brianna, my audience knows that.
	I've been saying that Canada is a national security.
	I don't know.
	Aren't you Canadian?
	I'm from Montreal originally.
	Yeah, I was going to say.
	No, what's amazing is that it's something like six times as many people on terror watch lists cross from the Canadian side U.S. than from Mexico, despite the fact that there's exponentially more people crossing from Mexico into the States.
	My understanding, I've had on Sam Cooper.
	Do you know who Sam Cooper is?
	I don't think so.
	He's a Canadian journalist.
	He's been covering this forever.
	My understanding is it stems from mostly student visas, which are handed out like cotton candy.
	And these student visas, they default on their student.
	They don't go to university, bottom line, and then they disappear.
	And there's good reason to believe that there's a lot of terrorists on it because terrorists on watch lists.
	What have you discovered about that?
	Yeah, so I found that back in 2023, let me get you the exact numbers so we have the data here.
	Because you said six times, and that's pretty accurate because ultimately back in fiscal year 2023, out of the 564 legal aliens that were apprehended on the terror watch list, 484 of them actually came from the northern border.
	And I know Christy Noam spoke last week at a roundtable about this issue, and they are looking to hold Canada's feet to the fire on it and to make sure that they start securing their border.
	But even one of those Iranians, when I was going through the list, he was somebody like you just mentioned, who came to the United States years ago on a student visa, overstayed and never left.
	And so it is problematic.
	And, you know, I got to say, I'm kind of, I was very disappointed when I heard President Trump talking about his deal with China and how he was going to be expanding the student program for Chinese students, because we all know that they're not actual students, that the government forces them to work for them and to feed them back information.
	So they are spies.
	So I just think it's a program we should just nuke at this point because it does more harm than good.
	I mean, we just keep finding people who shouldn't be in this country in the first place here.
	And what good does it do to our country?
	I don't think it does any good for us.
	I'm trying to find the actual law.
	I think it's called the National Intelligence Law of the People's Republic of China that says any organization or citizen shall support, assist, and cooperate with state intelligence work in accordance with the law and keep the secrets of national intelligence work known to them confidential.
	So there is a piece of legislation that by law requires Chinese nationals to basically report back to the CCP.
	And this is something we've also talked about.
	It's like you get these Chinese students who are getting educated off and subsidized at the best institutions and then mingling and working their way into Eric Swalwell's bedroom and then reporting back to China.
	So it's, no, no, it was, it's one of the criticisms about Trump's policy, which sort of allowed China to continue sending students over here.
	And then the question you have to ask yourself is, why would they insist on that?
	Why would that be important to them if it was not specifically for the purposes of relaying information to the Chinese government?
	Yeah.
	What's the benefit to us?
	I mean, if you want to come into our country, use our schools, what's the benefit for us?
	You know what percentage of Harvard is Chinese nationals?
	I don't know.
	what percentage of Harvard are foreign students?
	And then what percentage are...
	What percentage of Harvard?
	It's 27% foreign students.
	I'm just going to guess 30. Foreign students are Chinese.
	And I think it's something like 60%, I want to say.
	The majority of approximately 18%, 18% of Harvard's foreign students are from China based on 2024.
	So it's one, well, nearly one-third of Harvard's students are from foreign countries, and 20% of that almost are from China.
	It's wild.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And why?
	But like, nobody ever asked these questions.
	You know, I saw President Trump's post on Truth Social, and he said when he was announcing it, that he's never had an issue with the program itself and allowing Chinese students into our schools.
	I just don't understand what the benefit of it is.
	And I don't know why we don't ask these questions more often because to me, it sounds like they're just taking from us and they're not giving anything to us.
	And I think that should be the point that we all speak about.
	I believe it was 2023 as well, where there was about a quarter of a million Chinese students in our, I should probably say students because it feeds into the false narrative, spies that were placed into our schools, our colleges, our universities.
	And again, there's no reason for it.
	But then we saw that President Trump is, I don't know if it's the final number, but there was about a half a million.
	So he's doubled the number now to make this deal with China.
	And again, I just don't see the long-term validation for that.
	I'm trying to, if it's a problem in the States, it's exponentially worse in Canada, specifically as it relates to China.
	Probably, yeah.
	Canada is, I say, infiltrated.
	It's basically owned by the CCP and the Indian interests as well.
	What else?
	So what are the stories are you following?
	Let's see.
	I mean, there was that suicide bomber, I'm just pulling it up now, in Syria over the weekend.
	I don't know if you guys remember this.
	Syria is obviously, I mean, everyone's very familiar with the civil war that they just had just wrapped up, just concluded.
	But the reality of it is Christians are under attack in Syria.
	And I think it's something that we don't pay enough attention to, nor do we grill their new so-called leader about it, the former al-Qaeda terrorist, who's now running the country.
	This was the terrorist attack at a church in Syria, right?
	Yep, it happened on Sunday, it looks like.
	I believe it was Sunday.
	It's another one of the examples where regime change is going to be all fine and well.
	Tulsi Gabbard predicted beforehand it would lead to the slaughter of Christians in Syria, who say what you will about Assad, at the very least were protected by that government.
	And regime change happens.
	And now Christians throughout the country are being slaughtered directly and through terrorist attacks.
	Yeah, and it's unfortunate because nobody actually grills these individuals who are now pretending to be a government, like a well-formed government.
	Even though, again, they are former members of al-Qaeda, now running Syria.
	They don't grill them on the genocide That's going on right now in their country.
	We saw all this video of Christians just being hunted down and killed as soon as the regime change took place.
	And sadly, there's no recognition on the global stage.
	You would think all of these fake groups like the UN and others would sit here and rally against Christians, but they don't do it in Nigeria, and they're definitely not doing it now in Syria.
	And so we just sit back and we're supposed to just watch as Christians are slaughtered, again, at the hands of Islamic terrorists.
	And you're not allowed to ask any questions about it.
	Everyone is just so distant about all of this.
	You know, there was also the group of Hindus that were slaughtered by Islamic terrorists too in the India region.
	And it's the standoff between them and Pakistan that took place a couple of weeks ago.
	And again, I was disappointed because so many people were unable to say what religion these terrorists were, right?
	They said that the victims were all Hindus because they were asked this resort that they were staying at, this hotel that they were staying at to take off their clothes.
	And if they had tattoos, they knew that they weren't Muslim.
	And so they killed them.
	And so, you know, we sit here, we look at all this stuff and we're wondering, why is everyone afraid to say that these terrorists are Islamic terrorists?
	You know, it's the one consistency here that we see a lot of Islamic terrorists targeting Hindus.
	We see them targeting Christians and we see them targeting Jews.
	But for some reason, we're not allowed to talk about it.
	I just don't understand why.
	The issue also relates back to the open borders that imports foreign conflict into Western societies.
	And we're seeing the consequences of it in Canada, I think, more pronounced than here, where protests in the street were England and Canada no longer look like what they are.
	And the U.S., with its open-border policies for the last five years, is not far behind.
	Yeah, it's heartbreaking.
	It really is.
	I mean, I went to Toronto just once and I saw it for myself and I couldn't believe.
	Toronto is, I felt guilty saying it.
	It felt like landing in Bangladesh when we landed at the airport.
	It was just, and it's not, it's like, it's not, if you land in Bangladesh, you don't say, oh, this is, it's terrible.
	You say, oh, I'm in Bangladesh.
	Yeah.
	You remember what Toronto was.
	And then the lineup at the immigration line, I don't even know what the office was.
	It was just, you could tell.
	But bottom line, nearly 20% of the population, I think it's 23% of the population were born outside of Canada.
	India is the number one immigrant, new immigrant population to Canada.
	And it's just an outright replacement, despite the fact that you're told that it's racist to say that and racist to observe it.
	Sorry, go for it.
	No, I was going to ask, as a Canadian, what do you blame for all of that?
	Because I know, you know, Elon Musk pitched the idea of us having multiple parties, not just a two-party system.
	Yeah, and I told him in response to that tweet, I said, if you want to see how, you know, if two parties are broken, three broken parties is not going to make the system better.
	Oh, the third party will be the righteous party and then it'll get elected.
	So you want to see what happens.
	Look in Canada.
	We've got conservative, NDP, liberal, blook, quebecois.
	We've got Marxist and whatever.
	But it's still a de facto two-party system where it's conservative, so-called, versus liberal, so-called.
	So you can have six parties.
	You're just going to have more shit.
	It's not like six parties is going to have four good parties and two bad ones.
	You're just going to have six crappy political parties.
	At least with two political parties, you can have an outlier Trump-esque figure that can take over the party and change it for the better.
	But no, Canada is beyond the point of no return.
	I've got friends in small towns in Canada.
	They say it's, you don't go to the park anymore.
	It's a foreign country.
	The police officers are literally putting out police statements in Punjab, in not the Peel region, but it's somewhere in Ontario.
	And then you have scenes like you have in British Columbia with Khalestani saying, this is our country.
	Europeans go home.
	It's controlled demolition of what Canada was.
	And then the only question is, why, for whom?
	And I know the audience is going to chime in with some of their theories, but I'll say it's for the globalists.
	So then you can think who it's for yourselves.
	Brianna, we got to wind up and what's the word, looking for, raid the redacted here.
	But quick question.
	When is your show live and how can people support the work that you're doing?
	Well, thank you for that.
	You can head on over to the independentnewsroom.com.
	That's the independentnewsroom.com.
	Join the newsletter that I do.
	It's free unless you want to support my work, of course, and I highly recommend you do.
	Can they do that?
	That's through theindependentnewsroom.com?
	It is.
	Yes.
	We have a donations tab and we also have a paid option for subscribers.
	So you get to pick either or all means.
	They all work.
	They help support my work as an independent journalist.
	So I greatly appreciate it over at theindependentnewsroom.com.
	And we do a show every Thursday.
	We've got a good one cooking up for you as well here on Rumble.
	So give it a search.
	The Brianna Morello show is where you could find me.
	I'll drop that too in your chat in just a second.
	Just the Brianna Morello show is the show on Rumble.
	You're going to want to check it out because we got a good lineup on Thursday.
	Amazing.
	So it is, it's pre-recorded, but airs at 7 p.m.
	Eastern time.
	Was I supposed to say it's pre-recorded?
	It's okay.
	We literally tape it to like the very last second because you never know what's going to happen.
	Now I feel bad.
	I don't know if I'll.
	No.
	No.
	Well, I used to do another show that it was pre-recorded.
	I thought everybody knew it.
	And then I said something.
	And I was in two places at once.
	And they're like, Viva, how are you live here?
	Oh, okay.
	Well, it is.
	Yes, because you don't know what the breaking news is going to be.
	And then you're going to be live while you're already behind in the news.
	And I've taken legal classes on how to get sued for defamation.
	So we always like a nice little cushy 30-minute delay just in case.
	It's like a bleep things out if you have to.
	We don't censor.
	We just can't say that name.
	Amazing.
	Brianna, you are welcome on every day, any day when there's breaking news.
	And everyone, go follow Brianna's feed.
	Brianna, I'm going to now read some super chats when you're no longer on stage because I always feel dirty.
	Well, thank you for having me.
	I'll see you soon.
	Well, absolutely.
	Okay, good.
	Everybody, you know where to find her?
	Brianna, thank you very much.
	Now, what did I see here?
	I was going to bring this up.
	Okay, hold on.
	What did I miss?
	Viva, watch the speech from the Crown Believe.
	Okay, fine.
	No, forget that.
	Old man boy, old man Toby.
	Viva, I agreed on almost every point that Crowder made.
	My issue was about martyr made.
	That's Daryl Cooper.
	Daryl has done 30-hour podcasts on Israel and seems to be an expert.
	Isn't that someone you should listen to?
	Well, you should listen to everybody.
	But my point is, first of all, listen to everybody, but listen to them for what should be taken away from them.
	I don't think people read Candace Owens' tweets where she says, White America, now it's time to go sign up and die for Israel.
	I don't think people read that literally.
	I think people read that hyperbolically, bombastically, knowing what her underlying premise is.
	And I think people read it accordingly.
	So you listen to everybody and say, Okay, I think Candace has a bug that this is her, this is the blinders through which she views the world and digests her content accordingly.
	Daryl Cooper, I was following him and he put out a stupid tweet in a Twitter war with somebody that I know that he regretted.
	I don't find anything anti-Semitic or conspiratorial about Daryl Cooper.
	Tucker Carlson, again, also, I don't find anything terrible, offensive, outrageous about Tucker Carlson and his Twitter feeds.
	But I wanted to see one thing here.
	X. I did want to see what the heart, what is, get my fat fingers here, what is the evidence that Tucker Carlson is paid by Qatar?
	Everybody call, who calls Qatar?
	Oh, Laura Loomer calls Tucker Carlson, Tucker Qatarlson, I think.
	Evidence supporting the claim.
	Well, holy shit, people.
	Let me bring this up in real time.
	Here, let's bring this up so that hashtag nobody accuses Viva of defamation.
	Type, what is the evidence?
	Tucker Carlson is paid by Qatar or Qatar.
	The claim that Tucker Carlson is paid by Qatar stems from allegations and reports, particularly around March 2025, interview he conducted with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Fani.
	Here's a summary of the evidence and the counter-arguments.
	Evidence supporting the claim.
	Foreign Agent Registration Act filings.
	Reports indicate that Lumen 8 Advisors LLC, a consulting firm, facilitated the interview between Carlson and the Qatari Prime Minister.
	The Embassy of Qatar pays Lumen 8 Advisors $180,000 per month for, quote, media and communication coaching and consultation services, end quote.
	These filings suggest Qatar invested significantly in securing favorable media coverage, including the Tucker-Carlson interview, which garnered nearly 6 million views.
	The FARA filing describes the interview's purpose as addressing Qatar's stance on avoiding war with Iran, suggesting a coordinated effort to shape narratives.
	Allegations by Laura Loomer.
	In 2025, June, Laura Loomer claimed that FARA data showed Qatar Qatar paid Carlson $200,000 for the interview, accusing him of being a mouthpiece for Qatari interests, particularly in relation to Hamas.
	She pointed to the involvement of Lumen Aid advisors and suggested Carlson's Tucker-Carlson network was influenced by Qatari chic investors.
	Okay, that's a little bit not definitive.
	Multiple sources report that Qatar intensified efforts to influence U.S. conservative media post-2024 election, targeting outlets like Fox News, New York Post, and Carlson's platform.
	Washington Examiner noted that over half of Qatar's media outreach after election focused on conservative figures, with Carlton's interview cited as a key success.
	Some posts on X. Okay, fine.
	Context.
	Qatar's documented history of funding media, academia, and lobbying in the U.S., $6 billion to universities, $225 million on lobbying since 2017.
	By the way, why nobody, I shouldn't say that.
	Why people are not equally, the same people who are up in arms about APAC are not up in arms about this?
	Blinders.
	Neither are acceptable, period.
	Neither should be tolerated, period.
	And then the question is whether or not APAC should be forced to register as a foreign agent or is in fact registered as a foreign agent.
	I'll check that one out in a second.
	It lends credence to claims of targeted influence.
	Counter Tucker Carlson's denial.
	Neil Patel, CEO of Tucker Carlson Network, TCN, categorically denied allegations that Carlson or TCN received money from Qatar or any foreign entity.
	Patel clarified that the filing referenced by Luma pertains to Lumen Aid Advisors, not TCN, and stated TCN bought out all investors in March 2025 to ensure independence.
	Carlson himself denied Qatar funding, with Steve Bannon stating, I've never taken a dime from any foreign country or body.
	Lack of direct payment evidence.
	Context of the interview.
	Okay, that's interesting.
	Oh yeah, the next question was, is APAC registered as a foreign agent?
	I don't think it is.
	I just want to make sure.
	And let's get the answer.
	The American is not registered as a foreign agent.
	Okay, that's what I thought.
	We're just going to check it in real time.
	Okay, good.
	From Dred Robert, before we head over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	USA and Israel armed, trained, funded, and protected the ISIS-Al-Qaeda folks who were in charge in Syria.
	Great work.
	And King of Biltong, hold on a second.
	Let me bring this up here in the main method of bringing up here.
	Bada bing, bada boom.
	And here.
	The old man boys in there.

	Bill Tong, thank you very much.
	And I think that about does it.
	Encryptus, have we rated the redacted?
	Let me see here.
	They are using the Grand Theft Auto filter.
	Are they not?
	Am I going crazy?
	They're totally using a filter that makes it almost look like a video.
	Self-reflection there.
	Like maybe we should stop it.
	Maybe if there was a ceasefire in place, maybe we should not do that, right?
	So again, if past is prologue, the ceasefire will not hold, no matter how much we want it to.
	Sounds like reasonable political insight.
	Go watch the redacted people.
	Let them know from whence you came.
	And we're going to go take this party on over to vivabarnslaw.locals.com before we go.
	Everybody, go get a Louis the Lobster book on Amazon, illustrated by Abigail Martin, the daughter of a member of our locals community.
	Let me see if our merch store has been updated.
	It has been updated.
	People, I said I was going to do it.
	Oh, we've already, have we have we already done everyone watching this now?
	We have new merch.
	You're going to look at it and it's amazing.
	It's Look, I stole the idea, but when you rotate it, it says be a force multiplier.
	The only question is whether or not on the shirt we want it also to be sideways.
	I kind of like it this way.
	It's going to take people a bit of a time to understand.
	And be a force multiplier.
	It's multiplying.
	That's.
	Oh, I love it.
	I do love it.
	I love it.
	And by the way, it's one of the greatest compliments I've ever gotten.
	It's actually happened on two, if not three separate occasions.
	Someone said, Viva, you are a force multiplier.
	And I remember because the first time someone said it, I had to ask them, what is a force multiplier?
	And they said it's a military term of someone who creates an impact that's exponential from themselves.
	And I said, that's the most flattering thing anybody has ever said.
	And now I'm wondering if he meant it in a good way or a bad way.
	It could be a negative force multiplier.
	Okay.
	VivaFright.com from merch and viva barns.locals.com, where you can always support the work that Robert Barnes and I do.
	And it's the bestest, most above-average community and way to do it out there.
	Link to locals.
	Come on over, peeps.
	We're going to have the after party there.
	Have I covered everything I wanted to cover today?
	There's a little more we're going to do it over on Vivabarnes.
	Locals.com.
	Rumble, see you tomorrow.
	Tomorrow, I will have a tomorrow.
	I will have a guest, I believe.
	And I'm hoping to be able to get Steven Crowder on and have a beautiful discussion about his show today because it was an important show.
	With that said, everybody, Rumble, see you soon.
	Locals coming on.
	Everyone, find the streams on podcast format and all other stuff.
	Okay, that's it.
	We're out.
	Rumble, peace.
