	Okay, that's still that wonderful.
	We'll do another another quick word here.
	Okay, this oh okay and we're gonna lift it like this.
	That's a good one.
	That's a good one.
	Do you want to put it in mine?
	Oh, oh.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	Now we're gonna lift it like this.
	That's a good one for mine.
	That's a good one.
	You want to put in mine?
	Oh, oh, get over here.
	All right, get over here.
	Get over here.
	Get over here.
	what what what Okay.
	You found one.
	I did it.
	That was it.
	That was this.
	This was my best.
	You're muted, by the way.
	That's a megalodont tooth.
	I've been muted the entire time.
	Don't drop everything, Jerry.
	I got my video.
	Got the evidence right here.
	That was the find of the day.
	Seriously, like, no joke.
	Wait, I didn't even finish looking through the thing.
	Dude, I was dropping comedic gold the entire stream and I was on mute and nobody got it.
	I said, for people listening on podcasts, this is going to sound very bizarre if you don't know what's going on because there was a double entendre there when I was talking with my wife.
	I started off the show by saying what you are looking at is a man who has found freedom in a place called Peace River, Central Florida, in alligator-infested water, looking for megalodon teeth.
	That's what I said before thinking my mic was not muted.
	Buffoon.
	It just popped out.
	Yeah, and it's like, I'd say three quarters of an inch.
	It's bigger than three quarters of an inch.
	Okay?
	Almost an inch.
	Did I lose my spot?
	Let me get my foot back in the spot.
	Okay.
	Anybody wants to share the squad?
	Come on.
	Okay.
	For those who are confused and don't know what we're looking at.
	Okay, so that's a little stuff to go through right there, but let's see if we find anything.
	Okay, that was it.
	Seriously, that was the best stuff.
	You saw it right away.
	Yeah, if I don't look excited, it's only because I'm getting exhausted.
	My back hurts.
	I got bristles on my hands.
	Got one fucking bullet in my hand.
	And that wasn't planted.
	And look at this kid.
	Just swimming.
	He haven't finished chewing yet.
	Yeah, he ticked me down and eat.
	He's down.
	So this was one of the bucket list items of my life, which was to go in fossil country in Florida looking for megalodon teeth.
	And we finally did it.
	I dropped a kid off at camp in or around Orlando.
	And then we had the other two kids.
	I'm like, let's go fossil hunting.
	We went to the Wachiva River, Wachiva River Springs.
	Beautiful, dude, it's like 45 minutes outside of Orlando.
	And you go from Vegas without gambling, miserable, expensive Orlando.
	Although if you like theme parks, it's a place for you.
	And then you get into natural country, God's country, where you are literally at the birthplace of springs.
	We went to this place called, not going to remember what it was called, King Springs or something along those lines.
	It's literally where a portion of the river originates from an underwater spring where people go snorkeling 130 feet down.
	Something like, I don't know, a million cubic meters of water flow up because Florida, which used to be on the bottom of the ocean, is natural porous rock.
	And with all the rain, it goes down, gets pushed through all the fine holes in the ground, and then gets pushed back up through these beautiful springs.
	And the water is crystal clear.
	It's amazing.
	And there we were at Peace River, which was near Bartow.
	Bartow?
	Bartow?
	Which I was told Polk County is apparently the meth capital of, if not the state, the country, had an interesting discussion with a bail bondsman at a place that was both a bail bondsman and a barbershop.
	And we've explored and we've seen Florida and we went to this river with, I'll have to get the name of the guide because he was fantastic.
	I'll get the name of the guide in a bit.
	And we canoeed downstream.
	Going downstream is a lot easier than going upstream.
	We spent about four or five hours just shoveling gravel out of Peace River.
	And you look for teeth and you find megalodon teeth, 15 to 70 million-year-old teeth.
	I found, look at this.
	It's called a doodong.
	It's an animal that's related to the manatee.
	Let me see what the dugong.
	It's called the dugong.
	And this is a rib, fossilized rib.
	You're allowed taking them people.
	This is a borehole from a clam, which goes into these things.
	You can see like the texture, the fibrous textures on the bone.
	And this is the end rib piece of a dugong, which is related to the manatee.
	And it's amazing.
	And it's the 4th of July, everybody, and I'm back at my office and I'm happy to be here.
	Happy 4th of July.
	It's an amazing thing, you know, listening to the Blink 182 album again, where they're talking about, you know, childhood and retrospective living of life and, you know, sort of like the Joanne Baez, don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone?
	And for people who are poo-pooing the 4th of July, for the Democrats who are boycotting the 4th of July, I say this to you.
	You are, and I say privileged in the insulting sense, you are privileged to have the luxury of not respecting what it is that the 4th of July stands for.
	And it stands for the bloody freedom That you have to not celebrate and boycott the 4th of July.
	And as I'm sitting there, waist deep in alligator-infested water, it's not really that alligator-infested, though there were gators there.
	I can appreciate it and I can appreciate it.
	I won't say more than some Democrats.
	I think they do appreciate it.
	They appreciate it to abuse of it.
	But I can appreciate it having come from Canada.
	And, you know, I made a joke earlier today.
	I got these little whipper snappers.
	They're called snappets, the things that you throw on the ground.
	They go, they were for sale at a pharmacy.
	Do they call them pharmacies here?
	You know, yeah, CVS.
	They're illegal in Canada.
	Hold on, hold on.
	I think I got this on the backdrop somewhere.
	They're literally illegal in Canada.
	And we used to get them when we were kids.
	Yeah, here we go.
	These.
	We used to get them when we were kids in Chinatown because Chinatown was sort of like a lawless part of Montreal where the Chinese community could get away with selling firecrackers, but you had to know which shops to go into.
	And you're like, you got any of those black market firecrackers, little red firecrackers?
	You know, you'd stick them in big pens and light them.
	They'd blow the whole thing up.
	Whipper snappers are illegal in Canada.
	Although I'm told here, they're called snappets.
	Listen to this.
	Are you recording?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	These are called poppets.
	When we were kids, they were called whipper snappers.
	Illegal in Canada.
	We used to get them in Chinatown along with firecrackers, which are also illegal in Canada.
	Also illegal in Canada?
	Numb chucks.
	Basic rights to self-defense and freedom.
	Okay, but so look at these.
	Look at these.
	They're called whipper stampers.
	Do you know what these are?
	You have no idea what these are.
	Why do you know what they are?
	Because people have them in school.
	Oh, Schweiser.
	Well, I dropped the bag.
	That's how good people have them in school.
	Don't get the ducks.
	Oh, my gosh.
	It really sounds powerful.
	I want to do experiments.
	I'm going to put them here.
	Hey, stop it.
	Okay, this one.
	So there's rules about these.
	There's a good scientific experiment here.
	Would it hurt?
	Well, we're going to find out.
	Let's skip to the fun part here.
	Make sure that you get one that's going to pop.
	This one's going to be hard.
	Okay.
	We're seeing if they pop against the human body.
	Do it.
	Throw it against my back as hard as you can.
	Spoiler.
	Okay, I didn't work.
	Throw it harder.
	Yeah, you can lift it.
	You think?
	Why would I have to lift up my shirt?
	Your back's harder than you should.
	My back is because of the amount of muscles that I have in it.
	We're going to do this exactly once.
	Okay, can you read?
	Okay, do it harder.
	How to Joey.
	You missed my back.
	Kid can't hit him back three feet from.
	Okay, here we go.
	Do it.
	Ah!
	That didn't hurt.
	Do it again.
	Okay, look.
	I have I have a few of those marks on my body.
	Do it again.
	Do it again one last time.
	By the way, this is why you have children.
	That didn't hurt at all.
	It works.
	All right.
	Whipper snappers illegal in Canada.
	Freedom, speech, illegal.
	Self-defense, illegal.
	Weapons for the purposes of self-defense, or I should say tools, illegal.
	And you got Democrats in America shitting on the 4th of July because they have the freedom to do it.
	May they abuse of that freedom as they see fit.
	And I'm on the internet because I spend a little bit of time on the internet, people.
	And I saw someone who I've never met before.
	But when someone posts something that's so wildly, insanely stupid, it tends to garner attention on Twitter because that's what Twitter's for.
	Barbara K. Janik, author, Chasing Bin Laden, My Hunt for the World's Most Notorious Terrorist, a memoir.
	She, her, resist, blue wave, following 21,000 people, followed by 22,000 people.
	So it seems that the only way Barbara can get people to follow she, her is by follow for follow.
	Literally no one I know wants to celebrate the fourth.
	I feel sad.
	So when I see this tweet, I'm like, okay, she feels sad because she's upset at the lack of patriotism of America.
	I don't understand what the feeling sad is, but I got sufficiently comfortable with the idea and the fact that this was not lamenting the fact that Democrats refused to celebrate the 4th of July.
	And if it is, then I apologize, Barbara, for judging your tweet wrongly.
	But I promptly replied and I said, maybe if you don't surround yourself with commie pigs, you will feel a little happier in life.
	I'm a Canadian in America.
	I have yet to meet one American who is not proudly and patriotically celebrating the 4th of July today.
	It's the 4th of July, people.
	Godspeed.
	God bless.
	And happy 4th of July.
	Now, with all of that said, I've been on the road for a little bit.
	We have to catch up on a few stories.
	And the biggest breaking news of the day is the big, beautiful bill has passed.
	And I don't know if Trump signed it into law yet.
	We're going to get to that.
	We're going to get to the big, beautiful bill.
	We're going to get to Diddy acquitted on the big charges.
	And I just want to rehash and re-celebrate my earlier prediction.
	And we're going to talk a bit about Canada.
	But before we get there, people, because we have good sponsors for this show, and we have to thank our good sponsors, which is the Wellness Company.
	Now, hold on a second.
	I know what I'm doing to take myself off camera and mic at the same time.
	What we're going to do, bring up the B-roll so that we can look at RFK Jr., who is also going to come up during today's stream.
	And we're going to talk about the newest, latest development from the wellness company.
	RFK Jr. is known for his sharp mind, relentless energy.
	Remember that video of him using methylene blue on a plane?
	People thought he was doing something illicit.
	He was actually just doing something apparently good for you.
	He keeps focused, energized, mentally resilient.
	You can have the exact same effect from methylene blue, which I'm told is number people do it, and it's apparently good for you.
	You can get recharge from the wellness company.
	It's a doctor-formulated nutraceutical that delivers narabaccine before combo of methylene blue, NAD, and PQQ, creating a unique formula designed to optimize mitochondrial function, improve energy, and enhance mental acuity.
	Methylene blue crosses the blood-brain barrier to enhance memory, focus, executive function by increasing ATP production, the true fuel of our cells.

	The link is in the description.
	And the wellness company, thank you very much for sponsoring this stream.
	Now, on to business and on to what do we start with?
	We're going to start, I guess, with the big, beautiful bill, what it means, and what Elon is doing.
	You will recall earlier this week, there was an article in some schlock of a fake news crap site.
	I don't know what it was.
	I forget what it was offhand, but then it was, as goes the disinformation laundering, although maybe it wasn't disinformation, it gets picked up and repeated by other outlets and thus a rumor, a disgruntled former friend, or in this particular case, someone who has a company that rivals what Elon Musk is doing.
	So both disgruntled ex-friend with a competitive business came out and said that Elon is going to do everything he can to get revenge on Donald Trump.
	I actually want to bring it up just a little bit.
	Here we go.
	Politico.
	I don't remember if it was originally in politico, but good enough for fake news garbage.
	He's going to do everything to damage the president.
	Former Musk friend on the Trump fallout in a rare interview after the Musk Trump row.
	Silicon Valley founder Philip Lowe predicts his former friend will seek retaliation against the president.
	I guess there's no low to which Philip Lowe won't stoop.
	Sit aside the article.
	Bottom line of the article is Philip Lowe, who hasn't spoken to Elon in a long time, but had a falling out with Elon when Elon went off and started Neuralink, which apparently competes with Philip Lowe's neurological company.
	And sure, there's no bad blood there or no reason to try to demonize Elon Musk, but Philip Lowe says Elon's going to go out of his way to seek revenge on Donald Trump because that's what he does when he gets miffed.
	There is no question that, as relates to the big, beautiful bill, which Elon Musk called an abomination, that Elon in the spat heard round the world, which is going to dovetail into the next subject, the acquittal of P. Diddy, we'll get there.
	Elon Musk came out after the falling out with him and Trump, where Doge made recommendations and then Donald Trump came out with the big beautiful bill, the OBBB.
	I think it's been renamed now by Chuck, inciting the erection Schumer.
	Elon was a little pissed that some of his recommendations were not incorporated into the Big Beautiful Bill.
	And instead of curbing government spending, the Big Beautiful Bill increased government spending.
	Elon Musk called it an abomination, went haywire, et cetera, et cetera.
	Then put out a tweet, which led to, I say it led to great content, but I don't like seeing this type of fighting.
	But he put out a tweet that said, paraphrasing, Donald John Trump is on the Epstein list.
	That's why Patel hasn't released it.
	Have a nice day, Donald John Trump.
	And the internet went crazy and went wild.
	Okay.
	Then there was back and forth.
	Then Trump says, you know, maybe we should go look into Elon's companies.
	Elon says, maybe I should pull the Starlink contracts or whatever the spaceship stuff that he's doing for the government.
	Then you had Steve Bannon saying Trump should come in and nationalize all of Elon Musk's private businesses.
	The spat lasted about 48 hours.
	And then Elon said, I regret some of the tweets I made.
	Donald Trump, everyone seems to have backed off.
	Okay.
	Philip Lowe comes in and says now Elon is going to do everything he can to sabotage Trump because that's the type of person he is.
	Elon has been floating the idea repeatedly of a third party in American politics because he seems to think that if two parties are thoroughly corrupt and inadequate, surely a third one is going to solve the problem.
	Because after all, if things are broken, just make more of it and it will not be broken.
	He put out this tweet, when was it earlier today?
	Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party, some would say, uni-party system.
	Should we create the American party?
	Now, I replied to this tweet.
	Can you, I don't think I can vote in incognito.
	I replied to this tweet.
	It's at least the third time Elon has talked about a third party.
	And I said the last time, you know, A, if something is broken, more of a broken thing is not going to fix it.
	I also said, Elon, you want to know how a multi-party system looks?
	Look up at Canada and see if that's what you want to emulate.
	Some people rightly point out a parliamentary system is a little bit different than a presidential system.
	And so it's not perfectly analogous.
	Nothing is perfectly analogous because if it were perfectly analogous, it would be identical.
	But history doesn't repeat.
	It tends to rhyme.
	So you want to look at how multi-party systems work or multi-party systems work, depending on where you're from.
	Look up at Canada, look at Europe, look at a parliamentary system, look at coalition governments, and you will soon find out that when the system is broken to the extent that it is, more of a broken system doesn't fix it.
	You want to look how an independent additional party works.
	Now, people are going to call me a hypocrite.
	I ran for the People's Party of Canada.
	It's a relatively brand new federal party started by Maxime Bernier when he said, I've had enough of the corruption of the Conservative Party of Canada.
	And he started another party.
	Canada has got the Conservative Party on the right, so-called Conservative Party on the right.
	It's got the People's Party of Canada on the right.
	On the left, it's got the Liberals, the NDP, the Green, the Marxist.
	Who else?
	You've got at least six parties in Canada.
	You know what you have in Canada, Elon?
	Despite having six parties, you still have something of a two-party system.
	And you still have something of a two-party system that people still call a uni-party system.
	Because when you've got the Conservatives voting on conversion therapy bans where you can no longer talk so-called trans kids out of being trans, unanimously voting for that, it's not obvious that we don't have a uni-party system.
	When you've got pictures of Pierre Polyev, the leader of the Conservative Party, dressed in Ukrainian garb, and you've got the Justin Trudeau dressed in Ukrainian garb saying Slava Ukraini, it's not clear that you don't have a one-party uni party system in Canada, despite having six parties.
	Even if you don't, you know what you end up having is two-party system by coalition.
	No, but Elon's, it's really going to be good.
	Call it the American Party, start a third party, and it's surely going to work this time.
	He put out the poll.
	I actually want to see what the stats on it now are because it was about 60-40 the last time I checked.
	Let me see this here.
	Elon Musk.
	Here we go.
	We can go like this.
	Bring this back here and bring this up.
	All right, let's see what the poll results are as of now.
	62.8, yes, 37.2, no.
	It's going to be a big poll to try to impact, but that is to say that 60% of Elon Musk's followers, his 221 million followers, 10 million views.
	How many votes do we have?
	Half a million votes.
	It's not particularly, I think he might want to take an indication from the participation in that poll at the overall opinion of it.
	Said it the last time he posed this question, if you want to know how a union party system works, look at Canada.
	Do you want America to become Canada?
	If a system is broken, more of a broken system will not help.
	But the rumor is, and it's just a rumor as of now, although there's substantiating evidence for the rumor, is that Elon is going to start a third party or announce it the day after the big beautiful bill should pass if it does.
	And now, where the heck is that tweet from Elon Musk?
	Because I know that I had it.
	And I'm going to have to go to my inbox and get it.
	He put out a tweet that said, if this big, beautiful bill passes, the next day there will be a third party.
	Here we go, right here.
	Here.
	Bring this up and we'll see what happens tomorrow.
	I don't know if Donald Trump has signed the bill yet, but if this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.
	Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican Union Party so that people actually have a voice.
	Well, you can go look at the success that yet a new party has had in Canada.
	Although mildly successful, it hasn't impacted politics at all.
	You want to give people a voice.
	Sometimes that voice is free speech on the internet so that you can let those politicians know when you are vehemently in disagreement with proposed policy.
	The One Big Beautiful Bill really got some staunch reactions on both sides.
	But that is what Elon is suggesting that as of tomorrow, to the extent that this bill passes, we might have yet a third party.
	And then the question is going to be, who on earth is going to be a part of that party?
	You can think of Rand Paul, Thomas Massey, or maybe not.
	Maybe Thomas Massey is actually more useful as something of a voice of opposition within the Republican Party.
	And what you've got to do is just get better candidates and hold them to account and not start a third party that's just going to fall exactly down the same path as the other two broken parties.
	The voice does not mean getting their way.
	It means voicing their opposition.
	And to the extent that we can voice our opposition, whatever opposition that may be, on a free speech platform like Rumble, Chris Pavlovsky, or Twitter, or Truth, that's how you impact change.
	And at the end of the day, that's also how you avoid total government dysfunction, avoid meaningful vote splitting to the point that it would bring back a Democrat potential majority, and avoid a coalition.
	Although maybe some people are going to argue a coalition with the Rand Pauls of the world, with the Thomas Masseys, means that the Republican Party would have to give and take a little bit, but it hasn't worked in the past, and more of the same is not going to work in the future.
	But we'll see what happens with Elon Musk in that poll, but that's where that's at.
	Now, the question was this.
	Hold on a second.
	The one big beautiful bill, I guess we have to segue into that because I'm not going to be the expert on this.
	Obviously, it's a 900-plus page bill as it is currently passed.
	And my understanding is it's passed despite some, despite some not theatrics, but despite some drama, some infighting.
	Has Trump signed the big, beautiful bill?
	There's a live stream bill signing at 5 p.m.
	Well, we're not going to watch that.
	So there's a live stream bill signing at 5 p.m.
	That's encrypted for those of you who hear the voice and don't know where it's coming from, agent guru underscore IO on IO, India Oscar on Twitter.
	So the bill's going to get signed in.
	It's passed and Trump's going to sign at 5 o'clock and he's going to take his victory lap.
	Although some people are going to say it's a compromised victory lap and what the hell is going on with the big beautiful bill?
	I tried to make sense of whatever the most concerning things to me that I tried to make sense of.
	I listened to Robert Barnes on Bourbon with Barnes last night on our vivabarneslaw.locals.com community.
	And I think the consensus is that nobody is ecstatic with the big beautiful bill, but it's a necessary evil as a reconciliation bill to get to the next stage of government.
	It's the necessary step so that Trump can now have the leeway to get things done in terms of foreign policy that were hitherto being held up by threats, political intimidation of not supporting or not passing the big, beautiful bill.
	The biggest thing out of it is that Trump is going to get to say now that tax cuts are, in as much as they can be written in stone, the tax cuts are in.
	The no tax on tips is in in a certain iteration.
	No tax on tips is in, except in as much as it's an end of the year deduction and not something that is immediately not taxable, which raises its own concerns, but it's in.
	And so it's going to be the W. It's going to be the satisfying election promises.
	What I found concerning is the talking point that you've seen literally, literally everybody on the right, On the left, sorry, talking about if you just go and put in 17 million in the Twitter search engine, let me just see this here.
	You'll put in the word 17 million and you'll see what the new talking point is.
	Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
	Okay, well, we're going to get here.
	Gavin Newsom, 17 million people just lost healthcare.
	My assessment, false.
	18 million kids just lost school meals.
	False.
	Here we go.
	Oh, we've got Bonshi says, Democrats keep claiming 17 million people are getting kicked off Medicaid.
	Notice they never define who those people are.
	There's a reason for that.
	We're going to get into it.
	Jason Ray, 17 million people just lost healthcare.
	I mean, they're just repeating the same crap over and over again.
	Put in the word 17 or 18 million, depending on who you're listening to.
	Here we go.
	This isn't about you.
	This is about the 17 million Americans whose health insurance you're taking away.
	And after you turned your back on them to vote, yes, whatever.
	This is from AOC.
	Tony Schaefer, who's this guy?
	Let's see here.
	New York Times, best-selling author.
	New York Times, 800,000 children in the hospital, New York Times.
	New York Times, Israel just bombed a hospital in Gaza, New York Times.
	The pathological liars throughout history.
	Go read Rinsburg.
	Oh, geez, Rinsburg.
	The Gray Lady Winks.
	Amazing.
	Documents all of the New York Times, not just getting it wrong, getting it inverted to reality over the last 100 plus years.
	New York Times.
	I was one of the more than 17 million Americans who lost their effective, reasonably-pressed healthcare when Vodka Nancy...
	Hold on, maybe this isn't...
	That's not the right one.
	In response to Elizabeth Warren, no one voted to kick 17 million people off their healthcare.
	No one voted to raise the cost of groceries.
	No one voted to give handouts to billionaires.
	Donald Trump, yeah, yeah.
	So try to make sense of the 17 million.
	First of all, the question is how much is being cut for Medicaid and over what period of time?
	The answer to that question is roughly 1 trillion over the next 10 years.
	And that amounts to roughly 15% of Medicaid.
	How is it being cut to the best of my ability to make sense of this?
	Democrats claiming that the one big beautiful bill, an estimated 17 millions will lose their health insurance.
	Projection stems from various analyses, according to the news.
	Medicaid cuts, OBBB, would significantly reduce federal Medicaid spending by imposing measures like work requirements for certain adult enrollees, which are expected to lead to coverage losses.
	Congressional Budget Office estimates has estimated that the OBB would result in substantial decrease in Medicaid enrollment, with one estimated at a loss of 10 million people by 2034.
	Affordable Care Act, in addition to Medicaid, it changes to the Affordable Care Act, health insurance, yada, yada, yada, are expected to lead to the refusal to extend subsidies for these plans to loss of coverage.
	Impact on vulnerable populations.
	Democrats highlight the potential impact on vulnerable populations, including low-income families, people with disabilities, seniors who rely on Medicaid.
	The major issue about this is that they're imposing work requirements potentially for some for Medicaid.
	They want to filter off some of the fraud and abuse of Medicaid.
	And the amazing thing is this, it's predicated on the idea that you can never reduce, remove, or eliminate a government subsidy.
	And, you know, it's something I don't know if I was the original, I don't know if it's been said before, but at first charity is unexpected.
	You're grateful for it.
	Then it becomes sort of routine.
	Then becomes an expectation.
	And then it becomes a demand.
	And the idea that you can't reduce Medicaid to at least filter out the fraud or at least ensure that people who are on it are making attempts to get off of it.
	This is Bernie Sanders' breadlines being a good thing.
	You create dependency and you create an entire population, subset of population, many of whom are illegal, that are entirely dependent on it for your own political profit.
	And so when they accuse the Republicans of not caring about the estimated 17 million Americans or including illegals for the purposes of reducing fraud who are expected to be kicked off over the next 10 years, they're not doing it for the benefit of those people either.
	They are trying to exploit those people's dependency on government for their own political profit.
	And so they say the one big beautiful bill is going to cut Medicaid by $1 trillion over the next 10 years.
	You have to.
	You have to cut spending everywhere.
	Now, the argument is going to be, why do we spend on this versus that?
	For anybody complaining about the $1 trillion that's going to be cut from Medicaid over the next 10 years, how many of them supported squandering and laundering billions in Ukraine?
	Good to squander there, but then, hey, don't take away from us here.
	So let's just keep spending, spending, spending and keep supporting proxy wars and then use whatever threat to reduce the size of the federal government by pleading in the name of the vulnerable, who they couldn't care less about either.
	Or some of the other things about the big, beautiful bill.
	Hold on a second here.
	You try to understand what the adversary is saying.
	So you have to go to the New York Times.
	Here we go.
	The ugliness of the bill.
	How bad is this bill?
	The answer in 10 charts.
	By the way, I might have stumbled across one of the only former New York Times journalists who may have seen the light.
	New York Times, with unusual speed and despite an armada of controversial provisions, Congress has birthed a sprawling, nearly 900-page policy stuffed with hundreds of changes that will bestow trillions of dollars in tax cuts on the rich and special interests while slicing deeply into social programs relied on by millions of Americans.
	Much like Trump's 2017 tax bill, it will add substantially to the deficit with the debt without providing any meaningful impetus to economic growth.
	Well, it's interesting.
	At least they're fleshing out the argument that Barnes has been talking about for some time now, which is increasing deficit is not necessarily the end of the world if it also stimulates growth.
	One would argue that the tax breaks, the immediate tax breaks in the Big Beautiful Bill for bringing back manufacturing, from what I understand for infrastructure costs, will have an immediate net benefit on growth domestically and will wean America off of dependence on foreign and sometimes hostile countries for manufacturing.
	Apparently, there's a provision that for developing infrastructure for manufacturing at home, there's going to be immediate tax breaks instead of having to amortize those costs off over years, which is going to be an amazing impetus and incentive to bring manufacturing back home and stimulate growth back home.
	We'll see.
	New York Times says, but this time it will be much worse.
	This legislation will pile about $3 trillion onto the deficit over the next 10 years, double the amount of its predecessor was expected to generate, and it lacks provisions that could significantly boost economic growth.
	Let's go down here.
	Millions lose access to Medicaid.
	Let's see this here.
	Work requirements, 31%.
	How the bill would reduce Medicaid spending by creating work requirements.
	There was a provision of rooting out the fraud.
	The biggest, most damaging cuts are those to Medicaid, cuts that only, that got only more draconian as the bill moved from the House to the Senate.
	About a third of the savings come from imposition of a work requirement on recipients.
	While Republicans claim they are only attacking waste, fraud, and abuse, the resulting paperwork to comply with the requirement is expected to daunt many and result in lost coverage.
	This is their purported concern.
	All told, these changes could cost over 10 million Americans their health care, according to Congressional Budget Office.
	Costs of college will soar.
	What climate change?
	Clean energy investments announced since the inflation reduction.
	The bill rolls back many of the clean energy tax incentives and investments created by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, throwing a major roadblock in the way of combating climate change.
	This is how they've institutionalized the climate crisis.
	Trump's biggest budget buster.
	The package adds to our national debt in a way that dwarfs any other packages passed in the eight years since Trump first took office.
	His signature 2017 tax cut added a relatively modest $1.5 trillion over 10 years, but it did so by scheduling some of its provisions to expire after eight years, thereby setting the stage for the current legislation, which makes those changes permanent.
	The bill uses the same gimmick with some of its tax breaks to help keep costs down.
	The reality is the spending is objective.
	And then the only question is, is it a necessary evil to solidify the tax breaks that Trump was talking about?
	Is it a necessary evil to stimulate growth?
	Is it a necessary evil to pass whatever procedural hurdle came with this reconciliation budget?
	And it'll be better off in the future.
	We'll see.
	The one thing I do very much agree with that Robert Barnes said that's quite insightful is that this will free up Trump for domestic international policy now that he will not have people holding over his head like a sort of Democles, the one big, beautiful bill and their support for it, because fairly certain that JD Vance tiebreak vote, one a big beautiful bill.
	I'm fairly certain Vance breaks the 50-50 tie as Senate passes GOP mega bill.
	So this was as tight as it can get.
	And J.D. Vance broke the tie and passed the bill.
	Five o'clock, it will be signed.
	All right, before we get into the next subject, let's see what's going on over here.
	We got the armed gardener says, Viva, a patriot never says happy 4th of July.
	That's the same thing as saying Merry December 25th.
	Okay, hold on.
	That's the same as saying Merry December 25th or Merry Christmas.
	Well, Merry X, I didn't think anything was wrong with Merry Xmas.
	It is Independence Day.
	Happy Independence Day.
	Happy Independence Day, Patriots, and thank you for correcting me.
	I thought for a second, it's like saying happy Easter, which I understand maybe you don't say because Easter is supposed to be a time of reflection.
	People say like, happy Yom Kippur when you're fasting, or they say, have an easy fast.
	And some people say like, it's not supposed to be an easy fast.
	It's supposed to be a meaningful fast.
	To the extent, okay, happy Independence Day, people.
	I'm going to get me some more Independence Whipper Snappers and Independence Fireworks after this stream is done.
	And we're going to go down to a local park, watch some fireworks, and maybe set some off of our own.
	Just not within our community because the HOA, I'm already in their bad books, people.
	Holy crap apples.
	Snooty Mims says, happy Jay 4th.
	Happy Independence Day.
	Big, beautiful bill passed.
	Gator Traz, get Louis the Lobster book on Amazon.
	King of Bill Tong mates.
	Great Bill Tong.
	Hail Rumble.
	Hail Chat.
	Is there anything legal in Canada?
	God bless.
	Communism is legal in Canada.
	Riding your neighbors out during a crisis, a pandemic is legal in Canada.
	Speaking of Canada, F. Charton, like such a party wouldn't guarantee a democratic landslide.
	It seems like extortion.
	Well, I think what's going to happen, this is back to Elon Musk starting a third party.
	Elon's going to get, politically speaking, and you don't blacklist, cancel, and destroy a human for what is a, I think, a tactically wrong decision.
	He's going to get spanked by the people.
	His poll, good for it.
	How many votes?
	Hold on one second.
	I want to see this because this, what is the record for a poll on X?
	Because when Elon set some of these things up, they got like, here are some, okay, the largest X poll on record with the highest number of votes was created by Elon asking if he should step down as head of Twitter.
	That got 17.5 million votes.
	Now, maybe this one's going to catch up, but Elon might want to look at the lack of participation in this poll to appreciate that that is more telling than 60% or 62% of the respondents who chose to respond to it responded favorably.
	People are not engaging with it or don't care to vote on it.
	But he's going to get spanked, I think, politically.
	It's a stupid idea, respectfully submitted.
	It doesn't mean he's a terrible person.
	It doesn't mean he's a spiteful person.
	He might be a sincerely deluded individual who thinks a third party will somehow help democracy in America.
	I can tell you with my experience from the parliamentary multi-party system in Canada, it doesn't help.
	And whether or not it would result in a landslide, I think it would result in political humiliation for whoever decides to join this party.
	And so if he does it, we'll see.
	But I think if he does it, it's going to be an outright embarrassment bookmarket.
	And come back to this, Like you come back to my puff daddy conviction prediction in a bit.
	Let me get to these.
	That was in our locals community from Echarton.
	Liberty Centric says, bad paraphrase: there is no benevolence or charity with spending other people's money.
	James Madison.
	You see, okay, there is no benevolence or charity with spending other people's money.
	No, I kind of like mine better because at first, and it's why, well, it's sort of an iteration of, you know, the road to hell is paved in good intentions.
	You help people, they're thankful.
	You help people, they become dependent on it.
	And then you stop helping them and it becomes an expectation.
	Power Cleric says, Viva, happy independence day.
	Lauren at Big Dig Energy has been paid by Rumble for give or take four.
	Oh, has not been paid by Rumble for four months.
	Her rep left and there was no handoff.
	Can you please pass it to someone who helped?
	I can text you her sell if needed.
	Big Dig Energy.
	I know that company.
	That's an energy drink.
	And I think it's a clean energy drink.
	Big Dig Energy.
	A mining company or mining game?
	Maybe it's not her.
	Oh, it is, whatever.
	I've screen grabbed it.
	I'll ping somebody who I know.
	Power Cleric.
	Thank you very much.
	Oi!
	Oi!
	Now, what did I say I was going to segue into from that?
	P. Diddy got acquitted on the two most serious charges, and he, three most serious charges, which was RICO and two counts of sex trafficking.
	And he was found guilty on the two lesser charges of violation of the Man Act in that he transported across state lines women for the purposes of prostitution.
	I flipping called it, and I'm sorry if this is repetitive for those of you who saw my vlog, car vlog, while I was on the road.
	I flipping called it so good that even I was somewhat impressed.
	I said, as the verdict came down, like, holy crap, I remember having said exactly this.
	Diddy is going to get convicted on two minor charges, the ones to which he's dead in the water, transporting for the purposes of prostitution across state lines.
	And he's going to get acquitted on the sex trafficking because a condemnation would bring up the issue of whether or not he was actually trafficking and to whom.
	Although, according to the prosecution, we'll get into that in a second, he was only trafficking for the purposes of his own pleasure.
	He's going to get convicted on the two lesser charges, acquitted on the three big charges.
	He's going to go to jail for a few years.
	Federal, I think you can get out after 85% of time served.
	Case closed, everyone walks away, and then we don't actually ever discover what the hell actually was really going on.
	Listen to this from May 2025.
	Viva on with Megan Kelly.
	You have this entire blackmail extortion ring.
	They went and raided Diddy's house.
	There were cameras there.
	We know that it involves the higher ups in the entertainment industry, if not the world of politics as well.
	And this entire prosecution is reduced to P. Diddy and what we know of his abuse of Cassie and potentially Jane.
	And then once you flesh out the fact that for whatever the reason, Maureen Comey, James Comey's daughter, is still involved as one of the this trial.
	This trial is a show trial because they're going to get him on something.
	It might just be the, you know, trafficking for prostitution purposes, which seems undeniable.
	Send him away for 10 years.
	Maybe he gets out after eight.
	And then you successfully covered up the entire extortion ring that P. Diddy was running, much like what they did with Epstein.
	Oh, that's very interesting.
	By the way, the only error in my calculation there is 10 years was max for those charges, and he could get less.
	And then he serves 85% of less.
	It's exactly what happened.
	And I've got to highlight this because people seem to be forgetting this.
	Maureen Comey was one of the prosecutors in the Epstein case.
	Epstein winds up allegedly taking his own life in one of the most secure, I don't know if it's most secure, but he ends up taking his own life allegedly in the Metropolitan Detention Center.
	And I say, even if he, in fact, by his own hands, took his own life, that begs the conspiracy as to how that was allowed to happen for someone who was on suicide watch, taken off suicide watch two weeks earlier, then allegedly mysteriously, magically left alone in his cell with sufficient extra linens to successfully hang himself.
	Even if he did it that way, that is a conspiracy that needs to be looked into, fleshed out, and answers need to be provided for.
	Okay.
	Maureen Comey was one of the prosecutors in that case of sex trafficking that went nowhere.
	Maureen Comey was one of the lead prosecutors in the prosecution of Ghelene Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's partner in crime, daughter of Robert Maxwell, with his ties to Israeli intelligence, government intelligence throughout the world.
	Ghelaine Maxwell, convicted and sentenced to, I think it's 20 years in jail, although from what I understand, the conditions of where she's being held are somewhat similar to Kilmar Abrego-Garcia.
	We'll get into that in a bit as well.
	20 years for sex trafficking to nobody.
	And they got the conviction and the world went on with no answers as to what the hell was going on with Epstein's blackmail and extortion ring.
	Diddy was running an Epstein blackmail and extortion ring for the entertainment industry.
	My humble opinion, based on the evidence as I know it.
	Mansions with rooms camerered up so that you could get video footage of freak offs to use as blackmail and extortion against various people.
	Although, according to the trial, we're only supposed to believe it was Cassie and Jane Doe and only for the pleasure of Diddy.
	You have a house that has cameras set up everywhere.
	You have something of an Epstein type, not a gaming area, though I think that's probably what people would consider it.
	But you have an infrastructure set up to capture blackmail material video.
	He gets raided.
	Lord knows where all of this evidence went.
	And the prosecution is for sex trafficking to nobody.
	And he gets acquitted on the sex trafficking in the RICO.
	Maybe even rightly so, to the extent that if indeed he was only procuring and trafficking sex for himself, maybe that's not what people mean by sex trafficking under the law.
	But they prosecuted him for sex trafficking.
	So presumably they thought he was trafficking, but in the end, he was only trafficking to himself and the jury acquits and there was no racketeering, intimidation, corruption, or criminal organizations.
	He gets off on the two three biggest charges that could have landed him in jail for the rest of his life and gets convicted on the two lesser charges which he was dead in the water relating to.
	But I want to remind everybody and refresh everybody's memory here.
	How is Maureen Comey linked to Jeffrey Epstein?
	Details explored as Melanie King accused Diddy, prosecutor, of multi-high-profile cover-ups.
	This is July 3rd.
	Now, this is from SportsKee.
	The take it with a grain of salt.
	This is Vaishnavisa.
	I don't know who that is.
	The eight-member prosecutor team.
	Uh-oh.
	Wait.
	The eight-member prosecutor team, which included Assistant United States Attorney Maureen Ryan Comey.
	Who names the woman Ryan as a middle name?
	Oh yeah, James Comey does.
	A man who still hasn't been arrested for threatening the life of Donald John Trump.
	Most set that aside, faced a major setback as the jury cleared the wrapper of the most serious charges, racketeering sex.
	However, they convicted him on two transportation to engage in prostitution.
	Yeah.
	Reflecting on the verdict, YouTuber Melanie King questioned whether Diddy had been saved by a, quote, deep state, end quote.
	She added that despite the damning evidence and weeks of shocking testimonies, he still walked away with not guilty on the biggest charges.
	Okay, are we going to be able to get this stupid website?
	I'm going to get the hell out of here.
	King further accused Comey of playing a key role in directing the outcome.
	Let me just do this here.
	Let's try this again.
	Exit page.
	Piece of crap.
	This is why you don't go to garbage websites.
	All right, here we go.
	King further accused Comey of playing a key role in directing the outcome of the trial, claiming that she is tied up to several high profile cover-ups.
	Maureen Comey was one of the lead prosecutors of the case against Jeffrey Epstein before his death by suicide.
	Okay, there you go.
	She played a key role as a lead prosecutor of the trial of Glene Maxwell, who was found guilty on child sex trafficking in connection with Epstein.
	Nobody.
	Did Maureen Comey throw this case?
	Melanie King lists red flags against Comey in Diddy trial.
	We can skip the rest of this.
	Did she throw the case or did they overcharge to the point of resulting in this acquittal on the three major charges?
	I'm inclined to think that this was intended to be a limited, is it the word limited hangout?
	I don't think so.
	This was intended to be a limited hangout of a prosecution, if we can accept that analogy.
	They were going to prosecute Diddy for a tip of the iceberg of what he did, but only that tip of the iceberg, and not explore the 90% submerged under the water, hope to get him convicted on the tip of the iceberg stuff without having to explore the actual sex trafficking and the actual blackmail and extortion ring, and hope that they get a conviction.
	But even if they don't, they'll get a conviction on something so they can say, hey, we got a little small W. We didn't get the big W on the tip of the iceberg stuff, which would have still been the big cover-up.
	And now we sure as sugar are not looking into the rest of that iceberg.
	That's what they were doing in this.
	And it's, I mean, it's, here we go.
	New York Post.
	Former FBI director James Comey's daughter Maureen suffers high-profile loss as prosecutor in Diddy trial.
	Or did she?
	It depends on your perspective.
	Assistant U.S. Attorney Maureen Comey played a leading role in the eight-member team that prosecuted rapper Sean Diddy Combs in sex trafficking.
	The daughter of FBI director Maureen Comey, James Comey, Maureen Comey faced a setback when the jury found the performer not guilty of some of the most serious charges.
	Maureen Comey was a prosecutor in the Epstein case prior to his death.
	She leads violent and organized crime unit in the U.S. Attorney's District Office in the Southern District of New York.
	Didn't I remember hearing things about the FBI when Cash Patel came into office stealing files or destroying files?
	I think I did.
	SDNY is the same stepping stone her father, James Comey, used to catapult himself into national prominence.
	The ex-FBI director and prominent Trump foe worked similarly as a federal prosecutor in the 80s when noted Trump ally Rudy Giuliani was appointed.
	He returned, okay.
	Lately, the elder Comey received blowback from posting a video in which he threatened Donald Trump's life.
	In court, Maureen Comey offered the prosecution's rebuttal prior to the jury being sent off to deliberate.
	Maureen Comey argued from the dais that Combs, quote, never thought the women he abused would have the courage to speak out loud when he, what he had done to them, and suggested the rapper believed he was untouchable.
	She also offered arguments that Combs had been involved in firebombing a Porsche owned by rapper Scott Kidk.
	I don't know who gives the crap about this.
	At the close of trial, Maureen Comey argued to Judge Arun Sabramanian that Combs should be denied the bond requested by defense attorney Mark Agnafilo.
	There's serious relevant conduct here that will merit a lengthy period of incarceration, as he said, according to the post.
	While occupationally a proverbial chip off the block, Maureen Comey has remained largely silent during James Comey's recovering controversies from his 8647 post that drew demands for investigation by the Secret Service to his rhetorical battles with Trump.
	James Comey should have been charged.
	And the fact that he hasn't been charged is a big fat spit on the face of the DOJ and Pam Bondi.
	Maureen Comey, in choosing to prosecute the sex trafficking by focusing only on ex-girlfriend Cassie and Jane Doe, deliberately chose to limit the scope of the sex trafficking to a point that compromised the actual prosecution by design or by happenstance.
	And now Diddy is going to walk on the bigger charges, but hasn't been given granted bail pending sentencing, which is also kind of interesting.
	Not to say that transporting people for the purposes of prostitution is a harmless, victimless crime.
	It isn't.
	To deny him bail pending the sentencing on those only two charges that he was found guilty of is arguably not justified.
	It's not because he was charged unsuccessfully with sex trafficking in RICO that you can then use that as a basis to say he should be denied bail pending sentencing, for which he might only be sentenced a couple of years.
	Sean Diddy Combs remains in jail after verdict.
	This is Judge Abrahamian Subramanian, denied his bail.
	Sean Diddy Combs will remain in Brooklyn's cell after being convicted of two criminal charges, 55-year-old has spent nearly 10 months in jail, including during his two-month trial.
	The acquitted yada yada, it is impossible for the defendant to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that he poses no danger, Sabramanian said.
	I'm pretty sure that I'm not sure that that's the exact criteria.
	Flight risk, imminent harm, not potential for no danger.
	And now I do wonder: holy shit, people, can you imagine what would happen if Diddy unalives himself?
	I'm saying that ironically.
	If Diddy doesn't come out of jail after having been denied bail?
	This is like, if you're writing a Jean Le Carré novel, I know how it ends right now.
	When you're denied bail for legally no good reason, after having been found guilty only on the two lesser charges, transportation for the purposes of prostitution, and heaven forbid, Diddy is found not alive in that cell after having been denied the bail.
	That would be the bow from a corrupt, if one believes that this is in fact a corrupt cover-up of a prosecution.
	That's how it would end.
	Anything else on P. Diddy?
	Yeah, that's right.
	I just want to pat myself on the back one more time before I move on to other stuff, such as reading the crumble rants and tipped questions from our locals community.
	Old man Toby says, Viva, I was on disability and food stamps for six years.
	I seen the women getting out of new SUVs and applying for benefits.
	It was shameful for me.
	And I went to college and went back to work.
	Well, the other thing is cut to the actual fraud.
	So to the extent that, from my understanding, it's going to be RFK Jr. who's going to be in charge of making sure this is implemented properly.
	Cut the actual fraud.
	There are people who actually, sincerely, medically, legally need the safety net and the subsidies from the government.
	Cut the actual fraud up.
	And to the extent that there are, in fact, it's not because one, the illegal alien factor to this is, I don't think can be underestimated.
	Let me see.
	How much of Medicaid goes to illegal aliens?
	I want to see this here.
	It's going to be federal Medicaid funding for undocumented immigrants is limited and the vast majority of Medicaid spending does not go towards this population.
	Key facts.
	Undocumented immigrants are generally not eligible for traditional Medicaid.
	They are not eligible to enroll in federally funded coverage like Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act marketplaces.
	Emergency Medicaid is the only form of Medicaid that can cover some costs for undocumented immigrants.
	Hospitals may be reimbursed by Medicaid for emergency care provided to individuals, including undocumented immigrants, who meet other Medicaid eligibility requirements like income, but lack an eligible immigration status.
	This coverage is limited to treatment for the emergency medical condition and generally short-term.
	Let's see, but I want to be curious to know what the number was.
	Spending on emergency Medicaid for undocumented immigrants is a small fraction of overall Medicaid spending.
	According to KFF, emergency medical records for undocumented, it accounts for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending from 2017 to 2023.
	In summary, while there are some Medicaid spending related to undocumented immigrants through emergency Medicaid, this represents a very small portion of the overall medical budget and is primarily for emergency care and childbirth.
	I know that some people are going to correct me on this and say I don't know enough about it, and I probably don't.
	So I'm going to look into that anyhow.
	But old man Toby, thank you.
	Now, do I dare say, let me see if I didn't forget anything there.
	No.
	But on the subject of illegal aliens and bad decisions that Trump might need to hear from his base, not necessarily by way of a third party, but just by way of free and respectful open speech.
	We've been talking about this for a little while.
	You know, arguably one of Trump's, not, I won't say less thought out, but certainly poor proposed ideas, less than average contemplations in terms of potential amnesty for a specific subset of illegal aliens.
	And, you know, you've gone from mass deportations to being hand-tied by the government, being liberated a little bit more to implement his election campaign policy to him coming out and saying, yeah, we're going to make some exceptions for farmer illegal aliens or illegal aliens working in agriculture and illegal aliens working in hospitality.
	And then you predictively, predictively have people saying, what?
	Well, I'll just go with the cool kid acronym.
	WTAF, Trump.
	You know that people are going to accuse you of personally benefiting from this, either by way of big ag donors who want the benefit of illegal aliens to be exploited for the purposes of commercial farming, or for your own, although Trump, from what I understand, doesn't hire illegals for his hospitality industry, but his own industry, he doesn't want that to take a hit.
	And so we'll create this carve out of exceptions for deportation, that being illegal aliens who work in agriculture or hospitality.
	He did this again at Iowa yesterday, the day before.
	What was this?
	July 4th.
	Trump pitches plan allowing farmers to vouch for illegal immigrant workers facing deportation.
	New process will put farmers, quote, in charge, end quote, of vouching for law-abiding workers who have served them for years.
	So this is from a speech that he gave yesterday in Iowa.
	Trump administration plans to implement a process whereby farmers in Iowa can vouch for hardworking, law-abiding migrant farm workers who may be facing deportation so they can remain in the U.S. The proposed process was shared by President Donald Trump during an event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Thursday night, kicking off a year of patriotic celebrations meant to honor the nation's 250th birthday.
	Trump said the new plan will take place in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security and that legislation for the measure is currently being drafted while speaking Thursday evening from Iowa.
	Quote, you know, they've had a lot of people working for them for years and we're going to do something.
	We're going to sort of put the farmers in charge, Trump told the crowd.
	If a farmer has been with one of these people that works so hard, they bend over all day.
	We don't have too many people that can do that, but they work very hard and they know him very well.
	And some farmers are literally, you know, they cry when they see this happen.
	If a farmer is willing to vouch for these people in some way, Christy, I think we're going to have to just say that's going to be good, right?
	We don't want to do border security where we take all the workers off the farms, Trump added.
	We want the farms to do great.
	Let's see here.
	According to the Office of Yada Yada, Iowa is the nation's second largest agricultural exporting state.
	While announcing the new plan, Trump cited cases he had heard of when migrants who had worked for farms for 15 years got thrown out pretty viciously.
	We can't do that, Trump added.
	We've got to work with farmers and people that have hotels and leisure properties.
	Oh, there you go.
	Now, I liked, I don't have an opinion on this, or I have an opinion which is more or less relevant.
	One can steel man both sides of this argument, and I might be on the more sympathetic side of things.
	And then people are going to say, that's because you're Canadian.
	That's because you are yourself would-be immigrant to this country.
	The human element of it can't be understated.
	The legal elements to it can't be understated.
	And I can see people saying to Trump, you ran on mass deportations.
	You know, the suicide rate among young Americans is exponentially higher than it's ever been.
	And you've got overdoses.
	You've got veterans taking their own lives.
	I think it's four to one or seven to one of the national average.
	You've got suicides among young men, statistically, higher now than they've ever been.
	You've got a president who ran on a populist campaign of make America great again, bring back manufacturing, no more of this exploitation of illegal labor.
	Now saying, all right, for the purposes of farmer, where there's a big lobby influence and for the purposes of hospitality, an industry in which Trump works, we're going to have something of a bout face when it comes to imposing, implementing the law.
	Set aside my opinion, it's irrelevant.
	That's going to be the argument.
	Others are going to say these people have been here for a long time.
	They're doing jobs that Americans don't want, to which I have traditionally said that's a load of crap.
	And if that is the argument, then you are basically espousing something of a iteration of modern day slavery.
	Like we need illegal aliens to do the terrible jobs that good old-fashioned Americans don't want to take.
	It's a load of crap, period.
	And if that's the best argument, that's a bad argument.
	But Seth, that aside, I totally lost my train of thought, but Trump carving out this exception, you don't have to have an opinion one way or the other to easily foresee the problems with this.
	It's going to create corruption in those specific industries.
	It's going to create a different form of human trafficking for those industries or under the cloak of those industries.
	First of all, my understanding is that small farms don't benefit from the illegal labor like big farms do.
	That's my understanding.
	If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and I'm fairly certain I'm not wrong.
	So already what you have is big ag, big corp exploiting of illegals for the purposes of profitability.
	Smaller farms, from what I understand, don't do it.
	Flip side, I could imagine smaller farms now sort of potentially being harassed or threatened by cartels of traffickers or whatever to say, you'll vouch for these people and that's how they're going to get here.
	Or with big companies, you're going to vouch for these people.
	You got a nice business here and we need to traffic some humans.
	Or you're just going to have the big corporations saying, yeah, now we've got an incentive to vouch for these people to the extent that we can have indentured servants for the rest of their natural lives in America.
	And so the corruption is in your face, or the potential for corruption is in your face, creating an industry for trafficking, exploitation, and the abuse of illegal aliens.
	And all you have to do is vouch for them.
	Some people think, look, if they love them so much and they are that much of an integral part to the company, sponsor them for immigration.
	It's a flying here.
	Sponsor them for immigration.
	It ain't cheap.
	I can tell you that from experience.
	And do it the legal way.
	But no, we'll see where it goes and we'll see if what Trump is doing right now is testing out the ground to see what the response is to this, maybe trying to woe some public support from the Democrats, which he'll never get anyhow.
	He could grant full amnesty.
	They'll find a way to still criticize him for his immigration policies.
	Or it's a way to garner some superficial support from the left and then come in with something that's going to be a little bit more meticulous in the legislation in that, yeah, it's not just going to be a vouch.
	It's going to have to be sponsor them for work and go through the rigor more of, is it rigor morala, whatever the hell that word is.
	Go through the paperwork and go through the process of sponsoring immigrants for the purposes of citizenship.
	Vouching is one thing.
	Sponsoring and saying you guarantee you're going to keep them employed for a certain period of time, make sure that their employment conditions are non-exploitive, you might have a winner there.
	It's like, all right, it's not going to be vouching.
	Yeah, I pay this guy under the table.
	I pay this illegal, whatever.
	I don't pay him anything.
	I feed him and give him room and board, but it's very profitable for us and I need them.
	All right, you get to keep them.
	That's indentured servitude.
	If it's going to be a question of vouch for them, sponsor them, make sure that we can verify that you're paying them a fair American wage and that they're not being trafficked and exploited, then you might have a big W across the board, but we'll see.
	My understanding thus far is that the proposal is not meeting the wild applause that Trump might have thought, but we will see where it goes.
	We need to fix the system so they can apply for work permits.
	They should be background checks then made illegal.
	Yeah, I mean, that goes to the point.
	That's from Rodiodo.
	Background checks, make sure that they're not Kilmar Abrego-Garcia type illegals.
	Make sure that they're not criminals.
	Make sure that they're value added, contributing to the fabric of society without being exploited by greedy corporate bastards who want to exploit illegal aliens for the purposes of profitability.
	You might have something that would work there.
	I don't believe the trope that Americans don't want to work farm jobs.
	I don't believe it.
	To the extent they're not supposed to be lifelong jobs, you hire young kids to do it for a summer, for a year or two.
	They learn a trade and then they move on in life.
	And that's how it goes.
	But the idea that even if it's true, Americans don't want these jobs, so we've got to import illegals or allow illegals to illegally enter so they can be exploited.
	That's indentured servitude, modern human slavery.
	Ken JMG says, Haviva, you're asking the wrong question.
	You should ask how many states-funded Medicare is reimbursed by the U.S. government.
	The answer is 16.2 billion.
	I that's the thing because I know that there's who was I just listening to talk about the corruption.
	Oh, oh yeah, it was um, I don't know his name.
	He's, he's got, he's on the Rumble lineup in the morning.
	I was listening to him jogging.
	He's great.
	I have to remember what his name is now.
	Let me see.
	If I go to my Rumble feed, I should be able to see my watched.
	I feel bad that I don't remember what his name is.
	Yeah, yeah, it's Vince.
	Vince in the morning.
	He's awesome.
	If you don't know who he is, I won't play the whole thing, but I want to show you.
	You guys have to know who he is because he's based on whatever.
	So I was listening to Vince and he was talking about the corruption of the Medicaid hospital process.
	And as he's describing, he's like, is that simple enough?
	Do you understand it?
	And I'm jogging in the middle of Central Florida.
	And I say out loud, nope, I still don't understand it.
	So I certainly can't explain it.
	But Ken JMG, thank you very much.
	And I think you're absolutely smack dab on there.
	Which brings me to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, people.
	It's funny just in the sense of I think being in jail is prison.
	Sorry, that's not, is torture.
	It's obviously prison.
	Being in prison is torture.
	I mean, being confined to a room, it could have a freaking jacuzzi in it.
	Everything becomes torture when it is no longer a question of free will.
	That's actually good.
	You should actually write that down.
	When I read Viktor Frankl's Man Search for Meaning, and it's a book when I was in the second high school that I got expelled from when I was a kid, as part, one of the best detentions I got was my rugby coach saying, you're going to read, you're not going to go count holes on a wall, which is what another teacher gave to me as detention.
	So you're going to go read Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, Holocaust Survivor.
	The guy wasn't Jewish who told me to read the book.
	And the one thing I've always remembered from that book is, you know, people can get used to anything.
	They can get used to torture, isolation, et cetera, et cetera.
	That may be true.
	People can get used to hell.
	That does not mean that it's still not hell.
	And, you know, I've got a theory that, you know, everything becomes a prison when you no longer have the freedom to choose, however beautiful it is.
	Part of me always wonders would be one of the questions that I would always ask Joe Rogan or Brad Pitt or Mark Hopus, lead singer from Blink.
	Like at some point, wealth and massive success and celebrity dom, celebrity dom, celebrity dom, whatever, celebrity status becomes a prison.
	And I imagine that at some point it becomes torture, where you can't walk about freely.
	You basically can't have normal human interactions because quite literally everybody wants something.
	Your wealth and your financial freedom and your opulent mansion has become a prison.
	Now, sure, you have all the money in the world, which is one heck of a freedom, but it can become a prison.
	That being said, prison is hell, period.
	And Kilmore Abrego Garcia, where was it?
	Oh, it's just so funny where he's complaining about torture in the El Salvadorian prison.
	And I have no doubt that merely by virtue of the fact that one is held in prison, it's torture.
	But Bukele, the president of El Salvador, fought back a little bit.
	Bukele mocks Abrego Garcia's torture claims with Prison Highlight Reel.
	Video shows Abrecio Garcia enjoying soccer, gardening, and fishing while imprisoned.
	We're going to pull up this reel here.
	El Salvador president Naib Bukele has released a video highlight reel showing Kilmar Abrego Garcia apparently thriving during his imprisonment in an attempt to refute the migrants' claims that he was tortured while in custody.
	Solitary confinement, I think, is torture.
	You don't have to be punched in the face.
	Solitary confinement is designed to be torture to the extent that you are in solitary in your prison cell for eight hours a day.
	All right, I can see how Kilmore says that that's torture.
	Garcia, who a judge ruled was erroneously deported by Trump to El Salvador and then returned after a court order, is seen in the video gardening, playing soccer, fishing, and enjoying other leisurely activities.
	Where the hell do you fish in prison?
	But Bukele pushed back against those claims on Thursday, claiming he actually put on weight and released video evidence to refute the claims of torture.
	The video shows Arbrego Garcia in seemingly good spirits, playing chess, soccer, yada, yada, yada, working out, doing gardening, relaxing while watching widescreen television in a cell.
	If he'd been tortured, sleep deprived, and starved, why does he look so well in every picture Bukele wrote an X?
	Why does he gain weight?
	Why are there no bruises or even dark circles under his eyes?
	This man wasn't tortured, nor did he lose weight.
	In fact, photoshop show he gained weight while in detention.
	Plenty of footage from different days, including meeting with Van Hollen, who confirmed he seemed fine.
	And yeah, we don't have to go into the rest of the story there, but where is the montage?
	I kind of want to see the, is it here?
	No, is it here?
	Oh, content.
	Because it doesn't play in archive.
	Ah, son of a beast.
	Whatever.
	What I would say, and not to be glib and not to be funny, the Jan Sixers, and I know this from my experience with them, were tortured.
	They were specifically, deliberately, and maliciously tortured.
	Solitary confinement, even if it was under the pretext of COVID, bullshit.
	Enrique Tario was tortured in prison.
	It was by design.
	Jake Lang was tortured in prison.
	Some of you might think he deserved it for doing what he did in prison.
	He was tortured.
	The Jan Sixers were tortured in prison.
	The irony is that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant, MS-13 gang member, wife beater, alleged human trafficker, and also alleged into child pornography distribution, was treated better in an El Salvadorian prison than natural-born, God-loving Americans in American gulags in DC and elsewhere.
	So yeah, there's that.
	All right, an hour and 11 minutes.
	Holy crap, apples.
	What are we supposed to do?
	Should I?
	Do we do, I got to do the Canadian stuff before we go, but Roseanne Bar is live.
	So what we're going to do, you know what?
	Maybe I'm going to save the Canadian stuff for viva barnslaw.locals.com.
	Let's do that.
	We're going to have our July 4th after party on vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	We're going to raid Roseanne.
	And not to be a pain in the neck, when you raid Roseanne, I don't know that she's watching because I think they're pre-recorded and aired.
	They're aired live, but go watch Roseanne and let her know from whence you came.
	Why would I only post that to X here?
	Hold on a second.
	All.
	Let me just see what I've got going on in the backdrop.
	By the way, before you go, make sure that you subscribe, turn on notifications, snip, clip, share away, make segments go viral.
	I don't know.
	That helps things grow.
	But most importantly, if you want to support the work that we're doing, we've got new merch up at VivaFry.com.
	Today we're going to have a good one.
	I'm going to tease everybody with the picture of it right now.
	Hold on.
	I've got to go to DSLR Dave, who is the best thumbnail guy in the world.
	Let me just get the image because I want to show everybody what's going to be the next image coming up is going to be this one.
	Okay, hold on here.
	Viva Fry.
	Oh, gosh, I can't believe everyone's going to see my...
	Let me just save the image.
	Share image?
	Photo.
	No, hold on a second.
	Who Duff text me?
	I say.
	Okay.
	Hold on.
	Let me figure this out because, you know, I'm new to this.
	Tab.
	I want to bring up an image.
	Why can't I bring up a photo?
	It's right here.
	Okay, so hold on.
	I'll figure this out.
	Wait for it.
	It's going to be worth it.
	Maybe.
	Image, image, image.
	No.
	What in the name of high school football?
	Okay, hold on.
	Save image as.
	Oh my goodness.
	Here.
	This is how I have to do it.
	Okay, this is it.
	Now I open it up here.
	This is going to go on a bunch of merch because whenever I see Trump sign off with one of his truth social posts and it says, thank you for your attention to this matter.
	I'm like, that's the greatest, that's the greatest signing off phrase ever.
	This is going to go on everything.
	Thank you for your attention to this matter.
	Now, let me show you the other iteration that I had, which I thought was good, but I thought it could be misunderstood potentially for mocking the president.
	Because it's the silhouette, and I don't know if people would misread it as an unflattering silhouette.
	The other iteration was this one.
	Okay, guys, let's put it to a vote.
	This one is number two.
	Side profile.
	Thumbs up is number one.
	Which one do we prefer?
	Because one of them is going to be.
	So we got one.
	Thank you for your attention to this.
	I can see it as a bumper sticker.
	It's beautiful.
	Or two, the side profile.
	Okay, so one or two.
	This is two.
	The other one was one.
	Which one is better?
	I think I know the answer.
	I've already poisoned the well, but that's by design.
	All right, we got one more.
	Rodeolo says we need to fix the system so they can apply for work permits.
	Oh, no, that wasn't what I was going for.
	Oh, well, I guess there was nothing new there.
	Let me go see what the chat has to say.
	Everybody's saying one.
	Okay, good.
	Who said two?
	The real encryptus, you said two?
	I like the Hitchhiker pose.
	Say it again.
	I like the Hitchhock pose.
	It looks like Hitchcock.
	Yeah, but the thing is, I think people might think it's making fun of him.
	I think it's a flattering profile, but someone looked at it.
	But you know what?
	Maybe both.
	We'll see.
	All right.
	Peeps, we're going to do the Canadian stuff on the local side.
	Encryptus, have we raided Roseanne yet?
	Yep, just finished.
	Okay, awesome.
	So everyone, go raid Roseanne.
	Let her know from whence you came.
	And I will post the segment on Canadian stuff on the internet afterwards because it's important.
	It involves Sean Hartman's dad, Dan Hartman, who and the VISP, the vaccine injury support program.
	It's for supporters only.
	If you want to support the work that we do, that's the easiest, most direct way to do it.
	So if you want to come there, come on over to vivabarnslaw.locals.com.
	Louis the lobster is on Amazon.
	So go check that out if you want to get that.
	Don't know how many copies we've sold yet, but that's it.
	Happy Independence Day, babies.
	Enjoy it, relish in it, and even poke some lighthearted fun at the Demtards who have the freedom, because of independence, to poo-poo on independence.
	I was going to tweet, I saw a video of these dumb jackasses burning the American flag.
	I don't think it should be illegal.
	And I think they should have the right to do that.
	But there's a part of me just hoping that they get burnt while they do it.
	And then I would sit there and say, what did you learn?
	Or at least a little cosmic karmic justice.
	You should be, it's offensive.
	You should be allowed to burn books.
	You should be allowed to burn flags.
	It makes you an asshole.
	And I'd rather know who the assholes are.
	But there's a part of me, a little devil on my shoulder, hoping that that flame just gets a little bit out of control.
	Not permanent face scarring, just to teach them a lesson and let people laugh at them.
	So with that said, enjoy the night.
	Enjoy the day.
	Don't drink and drive people.
	Period.
	Full stop.
	Don't smoke and drive anybody who thinks you can drive under the influence of marijuana.
	You're crazy.
	Don't do it.
	And be careful because accidents are probably the most dangerous thing on the 4th of July.
	Godspeed.
	Happy Independence Day.
	And now we are going over to Rumble.
	No, locals from Rumble.
	You know what I'm doing?
