	Ladies and gentlemen of the Internet, if you thought Minority Report was science fiction, if you thought this man was anything less than a used car salesman, if you thought they were joking when they said they will send social workers instead of police, I ask you to behold Zohran Mamdani's vision of the future of New York.
	Every New Yorker deserves to be safe, and today I'm announcing a plan to deliver exactly that.
	Public safety is created by stable homes, good-paying work, and well-resourced neighborhoods.
	Addressing these issues are at the core of our campaign.
	But we must also aggressively.
	pursue evidence-based strategies that prevent violence and crime before they occur.
	I will create a Department of Community Safety, the DCS.
	This new agency will coordinate a whole of government approach to protect New Yorkers like never before.
	We will invest in citywide mental health outreach and crisis response, expand gun violence prevention programs, address hate, and tackle homelessness.
	The DCS will make public transit safer.
	placing dedicated outreach workers in our subway stations, transforming vacant commercial units to provide medical services and connections to long-term care, and investing in transit ambassadors to assist New Yorkers on their journeys.
	There will be visible trained teams in our subways.
	Their presence and their work will make all of us safer.
	Police have a critical role to play, but right now we're relying on them to deal with the failures of our social safety net, which is preventing them from doing their actual jobs.
	It's one of the reasons so many crimes are left unresolved.
	New Yorkers deserve a leader that treats public safety with the seriousness it deserves.
	I invite you to learn more about the Department of Community Safety at Zahran for nyc.com.
	Oh my goodness.
	I was biting my tongue to not talk over that thing.
	This is straight up Minority Report.
	Has everybody seen Minority Report?
	If you haven't seen Minority Report, allow me to not be able to play the flipping preview for you because I closed the window.
	It's Minority Report.
	They're going to stop crime before it starts.
	They're going to have transit ambassadors.
	Can you believe the euphemisms of stupidity in all this?
	Now I'm going to play it a little bit again and just stopping it at certain places to highlight the insanity.
	We can stop it here.
	Let's do this here.
	Here we go.
	We must aggressively pursue evidence-based strategies that prevent violence and crime before it occurs.
	But we must also aggressively pursue evidence-based strategies that prevent violence and crime before they occur.
	What the hell is an evidence-based strategy?
	I mean, I know in theory in a world where things make sense, what an evidence-based strategy is.
	This is verbal diarrhea, like when you're trying to describe the features of a car and you're like, oh yes, it's got the ultra reflective bug repellent panel.
	Yeah, also known as a windshield.
	Evidence-based strategies to prevent violence before they occur.
	But listen, I will create a department of community safety.
	A department of community safety, also known as the New York Police Department.
	I'm going to create an entirely new department because the one thing that's missing from the government is it's not big enough just yet.
	It doesn't have quite enough departments just yet.
	This is really hilarious.
	Actually, I'm going to take this out for one second just to share a highlight.
	We're homeschooling my kid.
	And I should say we are homeschooling our kid.
	My wife and I are homeschooling our child.
	We made it together.
	It was fun.
	And I took him fishing this morning.
	And I'm calling the Florida Fish and Wildlife because I want to know if there's any place where I can pay for testing to determine heavy metal or toxicity of the fish that we catch out of the Everglades because I want to eat them, but I read somewhere that you're not supposed to have more than one serving a month.
	And if there's anything on earth that you can't do more than once a month because it's that bad for your health, I'm not going to do it once a month.
	You know, eating the fish out of the canal is not that good and savory and delicious that I'm going to do it once a month just for the sheer pleasure of it.
	So I call up Florida Fish and Wildlife.
	I say, hey, I can't find any online testing kits.
	Do you guys do it?
	I'll pay for it.
	They're like, oh, you want to call the Department of I don't even know what a Department of Environment.
	And then I call them.
	They're like, oh, no, you want to call the Department of Agriculture.
	And I call them up.
	It's like, oh no, you want the it went literally for about twenty, thirty minutes, just one department to the next, and I'm like, oh, my son, you see how this works?
	This is the blob of the government, one department after another, overlapping tasks, no communication between all of them.
	And after thirty minutes on one department to the next, I still don't know where I can send a fish to get it tested, because I'm curious to know what the levels of mercury or whatever the hell, also aluminum metals in the fish.
	So, yeah, the one thing that the government is lacking is departments, the federal government and including state levels, biggest employer in the world.
	Okay, hold on.
	So they're going to create another department of community safety.
	The DCS, this new agency will coordinate a whole of government approach to protect New Yorkers like never before.
	A whole of government approach to what the hell are the police then for?
	Oh my goodness, this is a man selling you a lemon of a car and telling you it's the best car on earth.
	We will invest in citywide mental health outreach and crisis response.
	Mental health outreach and crisis response.
	Okay, that's also known as the ambulances, emergency medical responders, EMSs.
	Expand gun violence prevention programs.
	Expand gun violence prevention.
	They're going to, it's not, they're not taking away your rights, don't you see?
	It's the framing.ing.
	They're not taking away your rights.
	They're expanding gun violence prevention, which involves taking away your rights.
	Oh, here, here.
	What about this one?
	Address hate and tackle hate.
	What the he said address hate, violence or address hate?
	He says hate.
	Address hate and tackle hate.
	Funny, he says address hate and then the wording is address hate, violence.
	All violence is hate, Mom Dani, just to set that out there.
	They're going to address hate, also known as censorship, more deprivation of rights.
	It's not going to be long before in New York you're going to get locked up for a mean social media post like in England.
	The DCS will make public transport safer.
	Placing dedicated outreach workers in our subway stations.
	Dedicated outreach workers in the subway stations.
	This is what I love.
	Well, transforming vacant units, I think we can all appreciate.
	Transforming vacant commercial units to provide medical services.
	Also known as clinics and hospitals, but set that aside.
	Connections to long term care.
	And investing in transit ambassadors to assist New Yorkers on their journeys.
	Transit ambassadors to assist New Yorkers on their journeys.
	I'm going to stop it now.
	I think we've had enough of this.
	Transit ambassadors.
	Hello.
	Welcome to the subway.
	How can I make sure that you don't go stabby stabby or set a sleeping woman on fire?
	Oh, what's that?
	You're going to do it.
	What's that?
	You're going to do it.
	Can I talk you out of it?
	Oh, what's that?
	You have a knife and a gun and I'm a transit ambassador unarmed police, National Guard, hospitals already exist.
	What this is is a way to waste your flippin tax dollars, make a fancy way saying we're going to address all of the terrible problems that exist because of our terrible policies, all of which involve getting bigger, more powers and suppressing your rights.
	That is the vision of the future of New York under Zohran Mandani.
	Holy sweet, merciful hell.
	I said it's it's it's the Mandani report.
	That's what that's what the future of New York should be called.
	The Mandani report.
	Elect me and I'll tax you.
	I will be and I will tackle the crippling homelessness crisis in New York.
	I will tackle the crippling violence on subway stations in New York by creating a new department, diverting the police because apparently the police can't do their job, which is solving crimes because they're overworked.
	That may or may not be an element of truth to that, but to suggest that they can't resolve the crimes might be because there's too damn much of it.
	And what you don't need are transit ambassadors and what you might need are cops on the subway system, maybe the National Guard to prevent New Yorkers from shooting, stabbing and setting other New Yorkers on fire in the metro station.
	And maybe they're not necessararily even New Yorkers that are doing this, as we saw with the setting of fire and a number of other situations of egregious violence in these United States of America.
	Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.
	How goes the battle?
	Viva Fry, former Montreal litigator, turned current Florida Rumbler.
	I went fishing this morning, hold up, hold up, wait a minute.
	Let me show you the fish that I caught.
	It was a good one.
	I got a picture of it.
	Here we go.
	It was a what we call a native bofin.
	And there it is right there.
	That it was pretty good released to go make more bofin babies.
	and the kid caught a peacock a nice little peacock right come on focus focus fook it.
	Whatever, there's a good, there's a peacock bass there, people.
	All right, that's the peacock bass.
	And then we talked about the government, we talked about basic math, all related to baseball cards, and that's it.
	Everybody, it's going to be one heck of a show today, as it is always, because the news does not stop happening.
	And New York is going to be sort of at the epicenter of today's episode, today's episode, today's stream, today's broadcast.
	We're going to take a little trip north so that you can look into the future.
	of America up in Canada.
	I mean, quite literally, the stories overlap one after the other.
	Ambassadors, what do they call them?
	Transit ambassadors on the subway.
	Because of rampant violence caused by whatever.
	Kathy Hochul fighting for the illegals up in Canada.
	You can't defend yourself when someone breaks into your home at three in the morning with a weapon for the purposes of harming you without getting charged with assault.
	And then we're going to talk about Matt Taibe.
	And what I like to say is he's getting Westfalled.
	And we're going to talk about that.
	If anyone knows what the Westfall Act is, you know exactly where this is going because Matt Taibe was suing.
	a Democrat parliamentarian, parliamentarian, government, senate or Congress, whatever for defamation.
	And now he's seen the Trump administration intervene in a way that he doesn't like.
	But before we get anywhere, people, our sponsor for today's show, let me make sure I put the right sponsor in here.

	My head.

	Code viva, peeps.
	Go get some.
	All right.
	Now we get on with the show.
	I'm going to play a video.
	The audio is going to be low.
	It's not my fault.
	It is probably my fault because actually I'm the one who clipped it in the first place, but it was the broadcast.
	I want to start this off with Kathy Hochul is a god forsaken demon.
	Now, I'm a fan of not using the Lord's name in vain, whether you believe or not, it's somebody's Lord.
	God forsaken is one word.
	And so I don't believe I'm violating any rules by saying it.
	She's a god forsaken demon and I don't use the D word flippantly.
	She's a real demon in human form.
	I'm going to shut my big mouth and let this play to the end.
	I just want to remind everyone That while we're going to get into a story where Kathy Hochul is Reverend Lovejoy's wife, won't someone please think of the children?
	This is a woman who makes Dr. Mengele green with envy.
	Dr. Mengele is staring up at Kathy Hochul from the bowels of hell saying, Lady, you and I are going to meet each other one day.
	This is Kathy Hochul.
	I forget how long ago this was.
	September 14, 2023.
	So we're damn near two years.
	Two years ago.
	After the very, very nefarious, the very detrimental effects of the experimental COVID hijab had been well documented, especially in certain demographics, i.e.
	the demographic that this itch bay is targeting right now.
	This is what she had to say when she was imploring you to go vaccinate your children.
	I'm not even using the word that she's saying the word, six months and older protects against new variants.
	No, it didn't.
	New Yorkers six months and up are eligible only in Dr. Mengele's New York.
	And it's available even if you had COVID-19 or COVID-19 vaccine.
	Maybe okay, that's talk to your provider here.
	Listen to this.
	I hope it's loud enough.
	In this case, they literally recommended that everyone six months and older should get a shot you do not want your baby your young child to have to go to the hospital so don't wait on this six months is the age sounds young but children get shots from birth they can do it i encourage everyone don't let your baby be one that is in a cold dark scary place unknown to them scary for your child think about them
	and get them vaccinated so they can't protect themselves they have no choice They're counting on their parents to do the right thing.
	them scary for your child in a cold dark scary place what the hell is going on let's just assume she's talking about a kid being hospitalized in in what hellhole of a new york state are hospitals cold dark scary maybe cold and dark this is a woman who is now promoting experimentation on children as young as six months i love how she says like i know it's young like like she's being held hostage i know it's
	young but i i've got to read my line is the age sounds young it doesn't sound young it can't get get much younger you mentally torturous experimental demon it can't get much younger unless you go needle them in the womb So that's Kathy Hochul, who is a pharma hoor, with no qualms about experimenting on children with drugs that they don't need.
	But you get a lot of shots.
	So why not just give another one that will cause myocarditis in some of them, cause other unknown problems in others?
	Why not just take another one?
	Hell, you've, you know, you've, you've smoked, uh, marijuana.
	Why not just go, uh, snort Coke off a hooker in Vegas?
	I mean, you've done some drugs.
	You may do all of them now.
	Okay.
	That's Kathy Hochul.
	Today she put out a video and like, I just, you know, you're being lied to.
	I've, I've, I've, I've lived long enough now to know that.
	But her face makes me want to vomit.
	I'm sorry.
	I actually I hate it.
	It's not a question of making fun of her appearance.
	She's the detestable demon and she's starting to look like what she personifies.
	She doesn't move the she doesn't move her teeth when she talks.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's like, either she's choking on her own bullshit or she's got something where like the upper part of her face doesn't move when she's talking.
	Listen to this.
	This is the fake news of the day.
	Trump administration heartless.
	Want someone to think of the children because they're enforcing immigration law.
	Here's what Kathy Hochul has to say.
	Today Isaac just deported a mother and her six-year-old daughter.
	They had been previously residents of Jackson Heights, residents of Queens, and the little girl was preparing to go back to school this fall.
	But instead, a short time ago, they were ripped from their homes, sent to a detention facility in Texas 2,000 miles away, thinking they might still have hope to return to their home, the only place the little girl has ever known.
	But instead, today they were sent on a plane and sent to a country.
	a foreign country for this little girl.
	This is cruel.
	And I say to those who did this, where is your humanity?
	President Trump, you said you were going after the worst of the worst.
	You think she's really the worst of the worst?
	Why can't we work together to go after the truly worst of the worst?
	The human traffickers, the sex traffickers, drug dealers, murderers, gang members.
	We'll help you do that.
	But please stop separating our families.
	They did nothing wrong but look for a better life just like my immigrant grandparents did and so many other families that have been changed by coming to this great opportunity land of America.
	I want answers.
	on how this could happen.
	Is she really the worst of the worst?
	I want to demand how you can possibly say yes.
	Oh, I want someone, please.
	You hear the way she describes it.
	If you didn't know better, you'd say the kid was born here and they had been here for a massive period of time.
	The only home she first of all, let me pull this out for a second.
	There is I want to say there's no doubt that this is not traumatic on the kid.
	The kid's seven years old.
	You know, to go to preschool.
	I don't know what grade school she's in at seven years old.
	I think it's like kindergarten or grade one as traumatizing as it is for anybody to have to leave a country.
	I do question the trauma that a seven-year-old would endure to go to another school after grade one.
	But set that aside, the only home she's ever known, the worst of the, you want to know what the story is?
	Take it a guess in the chat for those of you who don't know.
	And if you do know the answer, don't, because they have to go look at the story after this.
	First of all, it's not very easy to find a lot of information on the story because Kathy Hochul doesn't give you any names, doesn't give you any details, just gives you a lot of hyperbole and lets you think that this has been a famine that's been here for decades with long roots extending into the soil of these United States of America.
	How long do you think the family had been here illegally?
	Just take it, take it one, two, three, four, five, ten, fifteen years.
	How many years do you think they've been here for?
	So I'm not going to wait for too long, but as I go find the article, oh, I got a funny story afterwards.
	As I go find the article, as I Here we go.
	What did the chat say in terms of how long they've been here for?
	Two, two, fifteen, something say fifteen.
	some say 15, 4, 3 months, two years, people, two years and eight months.
	And this is not to minimize how upsetting it would be to be told that you have to go back to a country that you fled from.
	Be told by the country that you entered illegally that you have to go back.
	Now, is she the worst of the worst?
	No.
	Is it illegal?
	Yes.
	Period.
	Full stop.
	Trump had floated an amnesty idea for farm workers, which didn't go over well with anybody who's paying attention to anything.
	Farm and agriculture and hospitality workers, that didn't go over well because it shouldn't, because you're just going to create a new class of effective modern day slavery.
	Are we seeing?
	Put this button pause here.
	This is the article.
	ICE deports six-year-old girl and her mom to Ecuador.
	Do you see how this insidious framing ICE deports six-year-old girl and her mom?
	No, I'm sorry, you effing propagandists at the Independent.
	They're deporting an illegal mother and her kid.
	It is probably upsetting for the kid.
	You don't blame the government that's enforcing the law.
	You break the mother that broke the law.
	But they frame it like, oh, they get they're deporting the six-year-old and the mother's taggging along.
	No.
	Ice deports six-year-old girl and her mom to Ecuador as New York officials blast Trump.
	Where is your humanity?
	New York officials call recent arrests of public school students and families a shameful sin.
	I don't think they arrested the kid.
	And now that I have community notes powers on the Twitter, I might have to.
	start pointing these things out.
	A six-year-old girl and her mother who were seeking asylum in the United States have been deported to Ecuador after being arrested in New York City and held in immigration detention for a week.
	You know who else was claiming asylum?
	Harjander Singh, who then went on to get a commercial driver's license and kill three Floridians.
	He was also seeking asylum before it was rejected by the Trump administration and granted by the Biden administration with his EDA, his employment authorization documents, EAD.
	A six year old girl, the six year old girl was seeking asylum.
	The mother was.
	Second grade student went to immigration and customs enforcement.
	The second grade student went to an immigration and customs enforcement check-in appointment with her mother and older brother in Lower Manhattan when they were detained by federal agents.
	New York officials confirmed that the young girl and her mother, who had been living in Queens, were deported on Tuesday morning.
	The girl's nineteen year old brother is still locked up in an immigration detention center in New Jersey.
	The case is another one.
	The case is another one.
	A public school student being targeted has drawn scrutiny.
	Outrage.
	The child's arrest appears to be the first known ICE arrest of a New Yorker under 18 during the Donald Trump administration.
	It's not clear which child has been arrested here.
	Is it the 19, if the 6-7 year old has been arrested?
	This is cruel, and I say to those who did this, where is your humanity?
	We already heard what you have to say here.
	The Independent has requested a comment from the Department of Homeland Security.
	In a previous statement, Assistant Secretary Trisha McLaughlin said the family had final orders for their removal and encouraged undocumented immigrants to self deport.
	If not, you'll be arrested and deported without a chance to return, she said.
	The Ecuadorian family sought asylum without legal permission after arriving at the US Mexico border in December 2022.
	The woman identifies as Martha had her asylum claims denied last year, but continued to attend ICE check-ins without issue.
	Oh, I mean, what's, what's, so she's checking, continuing with ICE check-ins under the Biden administration.
	You have a new administration now.
	Her asylum claim was denied.
	I presume I don't know what's going on in Ecuador in any meaningful detail.
	Denied.
	Now what?
	Her child attended PS 89 school in Queens in a letter to ICE pleading for the girl's release.
	The school's principal called her a kind, respectful, dedicated young lady.
	I have no doubt that she is.
	Now they're going to use the kids as the pretext to circumvent the law by the parents, whose unexpected removal will cause significant disruption to her learning and will likely have a deep emotional impact on classmates and the community.
	They shut down schools for three years.
	Now they're going to say that a kid having to find a new school within the same year is going to have deep impacts.
	Last week, the family was arrested during a check-in appointment at 26 Federal Plaza, home of ICE offices, yada, yada, yada.
	Martha's 19-year-old son was sent to that holding center.
	And then it doesn't sound like they arrested the seven-year-old.
	kid.
	It's not that they arrested the family, the mother, when she went to this ISIS on the other.
	There's no greater depravity than separating a family and deporting a six-year-old child two weeks before she's supposed to start.
	No greater depravity.
	I can think of many greater depravities.
	It's a shameful stain.
	We can skip the rest of this.
	It's an amazing thing where A, it's never going to be easy.
	B, there's always going to be someone caught in the crosshairs.
	At the end of the day, there's a legal way of doing it.
	And a great many people follow the legal process with all of its delays, with all of its costs and don't make bogus asylum claims, have them rejected and then insist on staying illegally and then try to target your heart strings because a child is going to get impacted by the criminality of the parent.
	That's the bottom line.
	I think it was Tom Holman who said it best.
	He's like, we separate parents from kids all the time.
	Every time an adult goes to jail because of their criminality.
	Oh, you can't send them to jail.
	It's going to cause substantial disruption to the child's life if you put a parent in jail for their criminality.
	Well, you won't separate the parents from the kids.
	They're just going to go back to their homeland where they were two years and nine months ago after their asylum claim was denied.
	But you just know you're getting lied to all the time, half truths, manipulation, and they have no facts to rely on.
	So they just appeal to emotions and make you feel like a big bad boogeyman for enforcing the law of the land.
	You have a border or you don't have a border.
	You have laws or you don't have laws.
	People get impacted by the application of the laws every day.
	And people get impacted when you don't apply the laws.
	There are three dead Floridians right now because Harjinder Singh wasn't deported when he was refused entry and when his asylum claim was denied.
	So that's what's going on in New York.
	I see a chat from Hitler was vegan.
	Why do you have to?
	Was Hitler vegan?
	I don't think Hitler was vegan.
	We got Hitler was vegan saying, Kathel Hochul bears an uncanny resemblance to Angelica Houston in The Witches.
	it the witches of the witches of east It's the Witches of Eastwick, isn't it?
	You know who I find that she talks like.
	Hold on.
	Let me see if I can get a quick video here.
	There's someone else that she talks like.
	Hold on.
	I don't want to spoil it.
	See if anybody in the chat, another, another politician.
	Let me see if I can get a video of her speaking real.
	real quick like, who has that same thing where the upper part of her mouth doesn't move when she talks.
	Okay, no, that was it.
	Hold on.
	I'm getting, I gotta get a video.
	I'm not gonna be able to, I'm not gonna be able to.
	Let me see if anybody in the chat is gonna say who it looks like.
	Here we go.
	Here we go.
	I got, I got at least a video that we can look at.
	Has anybody else got the chat of who I'm thinking of?
	Nobody said it.
	Hold on.
	Not Nancy Pelosi, although it does start with a N. Nicky Haley.
	You'll see.
	You'll see the resemblance when I play the video.
	It's the not move.
	It's like the way the mouth doesn't move.
	We care about Ukraine.
	And I'll be the first one to say, I don't think we should give any country, friend or foe, cash because you can't follow it and you can't hold it accountable.
	I don't think we need to put troops on the ground in Ukraine and Ukraine doesn't want them because they want to be able to win it themselves.
	Well, that was Nikki Haley back in the day.
	But yeah, I see a little bit of resemblance there.
	So that's what's going on on the borderfront, people.
	I do question the narrative that it was the child that was arrested.
	I don't think it was.
	And you just know you're getting lied to all the time.
	If you bet on it that you're getting lied to and then you go delve into it, you will find that you've been lied to.
	And I'm sorry, I'm just reading some of the chats in in Locals with our above average community and our above average.
	This is pronounced Gumby damn it, Gumby.
	Maybe Botox has frozen the forehead.
	So this is it.
	I saw that comment also in Rumble that it's Botox freeze.
	But at least Nikki Haley still has.
	Yeah, I I have they're all they're all they're awful people.
	What you imagine the amount of children that Kathy Hochul has harmed and now she's pretending to be the defender of the children because children are getting caught up in the criminality of their parents, period.
	oh do we do the canadian story first or do we do the um the other story um Has everybody noticed that I trim my beard a little bit?
	Do I look less crazy or more crazy and should I just shave the whole thing and go for a nice little baby face to get some sun?
	Okay, I'll see whatever.
	Let's take a trip north of the border into the Christmas.
	See, we're not taking a trip into the Christmas past now.
	We're taking a trip into the communist future.
	If you're not careful, America, and you let the likes of Kathy Hochul, Gavin Newscomb, uh, you know, become the presidential hopefuls and, heaven forbid, the president, the future of Canada might be, I should rephrase this, the present of Canada might very well turn into the future of these United States of America.
	You have, uh, Zohran Mumdani suggesting that, uh, transit ambassadors are going going to make your trip safe.
	And if you ever have to defend yourself like Daniel Penney did, well, you might face charges of murder.
	There's a Canadian man right now who is facing assault charges because he beat the shit out of someone who broke into his home.
	I don't even want to give you the details.
	I'm just going to give you the thousand foot overview before we get into the article.
	The details are going to blow your freaking mind.
	Viva Fry at the Viva Fry on Twitter.
	Follow me.
	Tweets.
	This is Canada.
	The intruder broke into the man's house with a weapon.
	Now the homeowner faces charges of assault, anarchy, tyranny.
	This is the CBC headline.
	Man charged after allegedly assaulting home intruder in Lindsay, Ontario.
	Police say the man was charged.
	This is from the Yahoo!
	News article.
	I'm going to get to the article in a second.
	You get to listen to these details.
	The Kawatha Lakes Police Services says they responded to a call on Kent Street at about 3:20 am.
	According to police, the resident had woken up to find an intruder inside his apartment.
	The two had an altercation.
	I'm sorry, you don't have an altercation with someone breaking into your house at 3:20 am.
	That's called.
	Oh my gosh.
	An altercation?
	If you're defending yourself against grievous bodily harm, it's not an altercation, but I'm going to shut my big mouth.
	The intruder suffered life-threatening injuries, police say, and was later airlifted to a Toronto hospital.
	Police say the resident is facing charges for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
	Hm.
	What weapon did he use?
	Might he have used the weapon that the intruder had?
	The alleged intruder 41 is also facing charges.
	Oh, thank goodness.
	A little bit of justice including breaking and entering and possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes.
	Let me just let me just take this out of here.
	And let me bring up the article.
	CBC News, Communist Broadcasting Corporation out of Canada.
	You appreciate the details that you'll see how far into the article these details are.
	Man charge after allegedly assaulting home intruder and Lizzie.
	Okay fine.
	Alleged intruder and homeowner are both facing charges.
	Oh, it makes sense.
	They're both, you know, it's not just the homeowner defending himself from a man who breaks in at 3:20 in the morning with a weapon intended for deadly purposes.
	No, no, they're both facing charges.
	A man is facing assault charges for allegedly injuring an intruder at his home.
	The court, please, we've read that.
	According to the police, the resident had woken up to find an intruder inside his apartment.
	The two had an altercation and the intruder suffered a life-threatening injuries.
	Police say he was later left to the hospital.
	Police say the resident is facing charges for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
	The alleged intruder, 41, also faces charges possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes.
	What do you he snuck in there at 3:20 in the morning?
	He was just going to, um, he was going to do a Shiatsu shin massage with the baseball batter.
	He was going to, you know, what the heck is going on here?
	Oh, nothing.
	Well, let me bring the article disappeared on my end here.
	This one right here.
	Okay.
	Investigators did not provide any information about the case.
	Kawatha Lace Police declined to comment.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But on Wednesday, police chief Kirk Robertson issued a statement saying officers were only releasing a limited amount of information in order to protect the integrity and the investigation.
	However, Robinson's statements did touch on the assault charges for the resident who allegedly injured an intruder.
	While police do have the right to defend, sorry, while people do have the right to defend themselves and their property if they believe they are facing threat under Canadian law, those rights are not unlimited in Canada.
	Oh, thanks, thanks.
	The law requires that any defensive action be proportionate to the threat faced, Robinson said.
	Here, Robinson, you rapacious jackass.
	Someone breaks into a home at 3.20 in the morning with a weapon for dangerous purposes.
	The proportionate response to the threat is death.
	Period.
	Oh, no, you're supposed to beat him and just make sure he stays in place for the police to get there.
	Make sure he doesn't regain sufficient consciousness to use that weapon.
	No, someone breaks into your house at 3 in the morning with a weapon for dangerous purposes.
	The proportionate response is beaten to death.
	This means that while the homeowners do have the right to protect themselves and their property, the use of force must be reasonable given the circumstances.
	Yeah, let me just assess the situation.
	3.30 in the morning, woken up in the dark.
	Don't know what the hell is going on.
	Let me just take a minute back.
	Excuse me, intruder with the weapon.
	Can you, can you, have I, is it proportionate enough?
	I said, you know, short of this guy tying up the intruder and then fileting him with a.
	fishing filet knife.
	This is absolute anarcho tyranny.
	In his statement, Robinson also acknowledged that the case has generated significant public interest and emotional responses.
	This is not an emotional response, you dumbass.
	This is a logical law based response.
	We're going to make sure that it continues to gain significant public interest.
	We've done it with the Nova Scotia Hiking Band.
	We've done it with the Ottawa truck driver protest.
	And we're going to do it with the man who apparently beat the ever loving shit out of a man who broke into his home with a weapon for dangerous purposes and is now facing charges.
	Anarcho tyranny, thy name is Canada.
	The Kawharta Lakes Police Service has appreciated itate the community's engagement and concern.
	However, the negative commentary about the officers and their actions is unjustified and inaccurate.
	I'm not talking about the officers.
	I'm talking about whoever decided to charge this guy.
	Maybe you, Premier Doug Ford, waited on the case.
	He said, so what did he say waited on the case?
	That's maybe you don't want to use Premier Doug Ford and the word waited in, but a bing, but a boom on a unrelated press conference saying the charges against the resident, resident, resident show something is broken.
	I know someone breaks into my house or someone else's.
	You're going to fight for your life.
	Forward said you should be able to protect your family when someone is going to harm you and your family with the kids.
	You should do.
	I'm curious, like did he shoot him?
	Did he?
	Did he?
	Did he beat him with brass knuckles?
	Did he take the guy?
	Did he take the weapon from the guy and use it against him.
	Something is broken in Canada.
	It's called Canada and not the people, not the good peace loving people.
	The Canadian government is broken.
	The Canadian court systems is broken.
	The Canadian police are broken.
	And that is literally the definition of anarchotyranny.
	I haven't read the book, but I know the gist of it.
	The Archipelago Gulag?
	Archipelago Gulag?
	Hold on.
	I forgot the name of the book.
	Hold on.
	Archipelago Gulag.
	What's the book?
	The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Soltz.
	It's a novel.
	It's longer than the the Bible.
	It's called anarcho tyranny.
	Penalize law-abiding citizens, make them fearful to defend themselves.
	No, no.
	Once upon a time, when I was in Canada, before I had acquired a shotgun, probably better I didn't have it at the time anyhow, but I was sleeping in the middle of the night with my family, and I hear someone banging on the front door, sounding like they're trying to knock it down.
	And this was shortly after I ran for office.
	And I'm like, holy shit.
	What am I going to use?
	A golf club?
	A baseball bat?
	So I did what was probably the most reasonable thing.
	We went on the roof of the house.
	There's a hatch, and they closed the hatchch and I blocked off the hatch so that nobody could come onto the roof.
	It was midwinter.
	We had blankets and we waited for the police to get there.
	That that's the state of Canada.
	You can't you can't get a gun for self defense.
	If you have a gun for self defense and you use it for self defense, that's going to break the law.
	So you'll be alive.
	And they say, you know, better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
	And there's some truth in that.
	Everything in Canada, it would seem, is broken.
	And it doesn't quite seem that it's broken enough yet.
	But maybe we're getting to that.
	Maybe we're getting to the bottom of that bottomless pit for the rebound of sanity.
	That's what's going on see what's going on in locals before we head on to the next door.
	Rapacious Jackass, too good elocution.
	Elocution.
	Thank you, Viva.
	Here is your word.
	I love the word rapacious.
	It's a good one.
	Like, it's almost as good as avarice.
	There's another avarice is a good word also.
	Rapacious.
	Let me just, who's that from?
	Chien visage, which means dog face.
	Rapacious means like greedy, insatiable.
	Let me see here.
	Look up rapacious.
	Rapacious landlords grasping, greedy, avaricious, acquisitive., covetous, mercenary, materialistic, insatiable, predatory, aggressively greedy or grasping, rapacious landlords or aggressively greedy for stupidity, rapacious morons.
	Oh, Viva, you should have thrown the pug at the intruder.
	No, you know what, the funny thing is if I had Barney the Frenchie.
	Wait, hold on, was it Barney the Frenchie?
	Barney the French bully?
	Yeah, he would have been good.
	That dog would have torn him a new butt hole.
	All right, that's what's going on in Canada.
	Now back to America to see what's going on.
	Hold on, before we do that.
	We don't often do this.
	Let me bring up the chat over on Crumble and see what's going on here.
	I love Mexico, the first country in the world to elect all the judges.
	Misses Lee, USA says, laugh my out.
	Kanuka escape hatches.
	Too bad.
	Hillary Tubman wasn't up there waiting for you.
	Choking on my.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Rappellagio, Viva.
	Okay.
	Did I see that sounds like Bill Clinton?
	Sounds like Bill Clinton.
	All right.
	Well, speaking of Bill Clinton, this wasn't going to be the next story, but I'm going to get to it anyhow.
	some stories that you might not have heard about and I follow the news religiously and I hadn't heard about this until I did the Unusual Suspects last night.
	If you haven't seen the episode, go check it out because it was a good one.
	There'll be a link right now.
	They're only on CommitTube for some reason, but we're going to probably get them over to Rumble at some point sooner than later.
	We did this episode on the Unusual, where we talked about like the the entire episode where you realize that there are demons on this earth and there are some there's a gradient of levels of demons, but experimenting with medicines on children is one level and then exploiting children for sexual purposes is the other level of demonic depravity among humans.
	For whatever the reason, the entire show yesterday had that theme running through it.
	And one of the stories that I had not heard of was an Israeli employee who works in cybersecurity in Vegas was arrested for attempting to lure a mentally challenged minor over the internet for sexual purposes.
	Now, if you haven't heard the story, there's probably a good reason for it.
	I'm going to start with one article just to show you what is not in the article coming out of the Jerusalem Post and then show you what is the truth of this situation.
	Israeli cyber dictatorate directorate.
	I'm not, I didn't do that to be funny.
	I had the dyslexic directorate employee arrested in U.S. on suspicion of pedophilia.
	Alexandrovich worked in cyber threat intelligence and active defense.
	Nothing about that's going to freak the ever loving shit out of you.
	The man in charge of the cyber security was using the internet to procure a mentally challenged child for pedophilia and sexual abuse purposes took part in shaping Israel's cyber policy and international forums and advised various government bodies.
	The Jerusalem Post, I'm told, is like the CNN of Israel.
	In a large scale operation targeting suspects in the online sexual exploitation of minors, eight people were arrested, including Tom Artyom Alexandrovich, 38, as an employee of the Israeli National Cyber Directorate.
	All detainees are charged with attempting to entice minors online to commit sexual acts.
	The Directorate confirmed the arrest and said the employee has gone on leave until the findings are clarified.
	Oh, that's nice.
	Innocent until proven guilty, you know, you can't put me on unpaid leave.
	I'm still innocent.
	Senior official at the cyber directorate of the Prime Minister's office was arrested on suspicion of links to pedophilia.
	A joint operation by Las Vegas police and the FBI over the past two weeks led to the arrest of eight suspects including Alexandrovich, thirty eight from Israel.
	After questioning, Alexandrovich returned to Israel and was placed on leave from the directorate.
	Las Vegas police said the suspects were involved in a suspicion of luring a minor by computer for sexual relations.
	I remember the minor being mentally mentally compromised challenge.
	I'm going to see if that's not, um, incorrect.
	But chat, if you can double check that for me while I finish with this, I'm certain that was my understanding.
	Okay, those arrested included men aged 23 to 49.
	His name is Yankee Yank.
	Wow.
	Jose Alberto Perez Torres, Anika Bellina Sadani, Reddick, whatever, and a bunch of other names.
	Duncan.
	Police said the goal was to identify individuals who pose a danger to minors online and prevent them from contacting children and teenagers.
	Okay, so listen to this, a veteran of cybersecurity.
	We would like to remind parents to discuss with their children the dangers of pedophiles online.
	Parents are encouraged to routinely monitor their children's activity on social media.
	Yeah, he had, obviously.
	He's a veteran of computer professional of the Directorate whose name had not been published in public.
	In recent years, he held roles related to to protecting computer systems and was considered a professional and respected employee.
	He was involved in establishing the Cyber Dome Program, a government initiative to protect the civilian sphere from cyber attacks.
	His work included developing national cybersecurity strategies.
	He also worked in whatever.
	Okay.
	They let him go to Israel.
	They let him leave.
	They didn't like, you know, keep his passport and detain him until his next hearing.
	They gave him back his passport and he, uh, esconded back to Israel.
	Now, you read that article.
	We went through the article.
	I know what I'm going to highlight is missing from that article.
	It wasn't in that article, even though we didn't read everything word for word.
	You know what was randomly, acutely and suspiciously absent from that article?
	Well, in the wake of the arrest, Netanyahu denied the arrest.
	He actually issued a statement.
	Here we got the same thing.
	Israel government official arrested in Nevada for Internet crimes against children's things.
	Okay, he's released and returned to Israel.
	I'm sure he'll come back for his next hearing.
	Who wants to, who wants to make a friendly wager that he doesn't?
	Okay, so let's just go here.
	Netanyahu's office.
	Hey, listen to this.
	Okay, so.
	Here we go.
	This is a media eye reported.
	Let me get this out of here.
	Make this bigger for everybody.
	Media eye reported that Netanyahu's office issued a statement denying that the employee in question had even been arrested.
	A state employee who traveled to the US for professional matters was questioned by American authorities during his stay.
	End quote, the Prime Minister's office said.
	The employee who does not hold a diplomatic visa was or was not arrested and returned to Israel as scheduled.
	That's interesting.
	Isn't that special?
	Let me just go see something because it seems that someone is being called a liar and it would be the State Department apparently being called a liar.
	Yeah.
	This is Viva Fry.
	I had to feed a fry.
	Hey, the State Department has confirmed the arrest and is really going yada yada.
	Netanyahu has denied it, effectively calling the State Department liars.
	Who's lying here?
	This was the.
	I double checked it myself.
	I did the screen grab myself.
	The Department of State is aware that Tom Artyom Alexandrovich, an Israeli citizen, was arrested in Las Vegas and given a court date for charges relating to soliciting sex electronically from a minor.
	He did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge pending a court date.
	Any claims that the US government intervened are false.
	And then we go to the highlights.
	Now I want to just I'm gonna Tom let me just do this.
	I want to check one thing.
	Let's go here and mentally impaired minor.
	I thought that minor was mentally impaired.
	Maybe he wasn't.
	Either way, someone's lying.
	And considering that we've seen the Nevada arrest docket, it was the government of Israel or Netanyahu's office.
	Why would they have lied about that?
	Maybe they just mistaken.
	They didn't know they were going by what Artyom Alexandrovich was telling them.
	You want to go down and even bigger rabbit hole.
	Go look at the players involved.
	I don't know who the judge was involved that set the bail conditions.
	I think it was 10,000.
	I don't know what the bail conditions were.
	Go look.
	Go look up the judge who issued this release order.
	Go look up the Attorney General, State District Attorney, whatever it is in Nevada, go look that up.
	But just a story that's slipping under the radar.
	You have two factually incompatible statements of fact and nobody pushing back.
	And this individual who is, uh, has been arrested on the most heinous of charges, given his passport, returned to Israel as planned.
	And I'm sure he's going to show up for his next hearing, which I think is in September.
	And that's that.
	And no, I bet Las Vegas police said, I've seen it.
	And then the thing like that's just totally, you like just to understand the disgusting depravity of that sting operation.
	Like, you're in Vegas.
	Now I'm a manic hypochondriac, an absolute germophobe, loyal to the core, and think that anyone who ever cheats on their spouse is playing with their life, their very life.
	That being said, and there's no but to that.
	The guys in Vegas, there's pretty much nothing that you can't get in Vegas if you're not willing to pay for it.
	And yet the perversion runs so deep.
	Getting a hooker in Vegas, getting a young looking hooker in Vegas was just apparently not good enough for this pervert in Vegas, despite all of the depravity that Vegas has to offer.
	If you're willing to pay for it and willing to take it, had to go and break the law to get a minor to try to lure them for sexual purposes.
	Depravity, degeneracy, incurable.
	And that's that.
	Ah.
	Okay, and then we got one last story here before we let me see something going on here.
	Sheen Visage is back and that's we have another, have we got another dipped question?
	Oh, King of Builtong is in the house.
	King of Builtong.
	I'm going to take the, I should get a bag of the Builtong.
	It's just Builtong, King of Builtong, one of the highest protein snacks in the world boasting nearly 50% protein packed with B12 creatine iron zinc and more.

	Awesome stuff.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Now hold on.
	Okay.
	Let me ask a question of the chat before we get into the next story.
	And it's going to be my shameless moment to remind everybody.
	If you want to send stuff to my PO box, preferably unopened packs of UFC fighting cards or baseball cards.
	Here's the way to do it.
	I purchased a card because I am from a UFC perspective not infatuated with.
	I love Tatsuro Taira.
	Okay, this is the PO box.
	Now, okay, now I recently purchased a Tatsuro Taira.
	not a wildly expensive card a tatsudo taika rated rookie retro graded psa 10 and it's beautiful i love the this this retro look reminds me of the base the baseball cards when i was a kid the back says this here look at that one of 112 now it's driving me crazy because i haven't seen another one online that has a two of 12 and i don't know if this if all of the cards in this
	numbered series are numbered one of 112 or or if this was actually the what do they call it the not the book end but the um the leader so are if anybody knows because I've googled it and it says no if it says one of 112 that's the first and then the next one will be two of 112 three of 112 PSA ten Tatsuro Taira coming off his win against Hyung Soon Park which was a great thump of a child.
	Now just wait for the crying.
	Did everybody hear that thump?
	That's the thump of a kid falling off a bed.
	I have not heard any tears and my wife is here.
	So let's see what everyone says.
	That's cool.
	It's totally cool.
	Tatsudo Taida.
	And you know, you're always taking a risk when you buy something off eBay, but if it's unless you're getting a fraudulent, fake graded PSA 10, but the seller had a 100% review, at least you know you're not going to get a damaged card if you get it ungraded.
	So we'll see.
	I'll keep that for about twenty.
	Holy okay, you did hear the thump now, but what's the answer to the question?
	Is it a one of is it one or were they all numbered one of 112 or is that in fact the first?
	I like there are UFC cards now.
	Did they make a Dawn Fry?
	I don't know if they did a retro of those.
	Dawn Fry was back in the day, right?
	Like I think UFC cards, I don't know when they started in earnest, but it's like early 2010s.
	Okay, either way.
	Kids cleaning their rooms, highly, highly unlikely.
	All right, last story of the day, people.
	I think, let me just make sure in the backdrop, we're going to have our locals after party.
	Last story of the day is Matt Taibbi getting Westfold.
	Matt Taibbi was on the channel a while back.
	I'm trying to have him back on.
	I DM people and don't expect...
	Oh, I mean, I'm neurotic.
	I think everybody's going to, like, you know, check their DMs as often as I do, but...
	One of 112 meaning the collection reigning from number one to a full set doesn't mean it's one of 112.
	There's thous true.
	That's going to make me very angry.
	You need a Don Fry card.
	Hold on one second.
	No, okay.
	That's interesting.
	That's an interesting theory that it would say the number of cards in the base set for the full set.
	I'm not sure that that's true.
	I don't think that's true.
	That doesn't matter.
	Okay.
	Anyways, thank you for that.
	Now, back it up, starting the segment again because I want to be clean for the cut.
	Matt Taibe is getting Westfall.
	And if you don't remember how this story started, we're going to start with politicians being politicians, but more specifically., Democrats being demons who abuse of the pulpit to defame their political ideological adversaries.
	You remember when Mattayibi was before Congress, it was Senate hearings or congressional hearings.
	And I'm pretty certain it was in the context of the Twitter files, on which his reporting on, on which his reporting was magnificent.
	A certain Democrat politician, her name was, is, Rep Kamlinger Dove, Dove called him a serial sexual harasser.
	I'm going to play it uninterrupted so that you can appreciate what they put him through, what he has had to go through, he sued them and spoiler alert, he just got Westfault, at least for the time being.
	The majority is relitigating a made-up conspiracy theory about a part of the State Department that no longer exists to distract from the dumpster fire foreign policy this administration is pursuing and elevating a serial sexual harasser as their star witness in the process.
	Mr. Chair, I request unanimous consent to enter into the record two articles about the Republican witness Matt Taibi.
	The first is a Chicago Reader article entitled 20 years ago in Moscow, Matt Taibi was a misogynogynist a hole and possibly worse, and a Washington Post article titled The Two Expat Bros Who Terrorized Women Correspondents in Moscow.
	Without objection.
	This hearing could not be more out of touch with the concerns of everyday Americans.
	People's retirement savings are being decimated as Trump's arbitrary temper tariffs tank the stock market.
	I have to pause it there.
	I can't even let that linger.
	What this itchbee, who is dressed like the Joker, for some reason is referring to is a satirical piece that Taiyibi and someone else wrote back in the day, which was not real about their behavior in I forget where it was.
	It was sort of supposed to be from what I understand like a Hunter S Thompson S type satirical when bad boys behave badly.
	And people took it literally, which is probably the problem when you make something that's not clearly satirical or identify it as such.
	But they've used that as the basis to smear Taibi as though what they wrote in that satirical piece was true and accurate.
	If you didn't know, they are staring down the barrel of cuts to their social security and Medicare because the Republican majority wants to give a tax break to billionaires like Elon Musk who have deep financial ties to our adversaries.
	Meanwhile, Trump is siding with Putin against our national security interests and risking the lives of American soldiers in a signal group chat.
	I've been to the State Department and I do have concerns about censorship.
	Censorship of the employees who are terrified to say the wrong thing, to say anything, or have the wrong word in their job title and be terminated by an administration that publicly relishes punishing people for their speech.
	If we want to talk about censorship, we should begin with Trump's unprecedented assault on the First Amendment and rule of law.
	Where was the part of the beginning?
	Whatever.
	Chat saying like, I I beat you to the joke.
	It's not even only the Joker.
	There's another one, like something out of a Dr. Seuss book.
	That is the Genesis of the Defamation.
	Who put this post up back in the day?
	It was, I'm not reading the whole thing, but Patoonist World.
	I'll give everybody the link.
	It seems like she doesn't have enough of a following as deserved for doing good work on Twitter.
	He sued.
	April 3, journalists filed a $10 million federal lawsuit against her ranking member, yada, yada, yada.
	Background of the claim.
	Okay, well, Taibi's article references the exile.
	The Exile, a Moscow based.
	Oh, here we go.
	The article references to Taibi's time at the Exile, a Moscow based newspaper.
	He co edited in the late 90s.
	A 2000 book, The Exile, Sex, Drugs and Whatever, co-authored by Mark Ames with him, contains satirical passages about sexual harassment that Taibi says were fictional.
	He denied any misconduct and no one has ever formally accused him of harassment.
	Taibi apologized in 2017 for the cruel and misogynistic language.
	That was your mistake.
	Taibi, Never apologize if you didn't do something wrong.
	Apologize for cruel and misogynistic language.
	Sissy.
	I'm joking.
	I'd say that to him now.
	Anyhow, Taehyung, yeah.
	Taehyung, a GOP witness on government censorship.
	So this wasn't the Twitter files argues Cam Lager does her remarks were defamatory, especially after she repeated them on social media outside the protection of the hate of the speech and debate clause, seeking 10 million.
	Well, you know what happened?
	First of all, we know this now.
	I'm going to go back and see if I actually predicted it at the time.
	I don't think I made any predictions about his chances of success.
	We know from the Elizabeth Warren, Deborah Holland, Nicholas Sandman, Covington Kids defamation case that it's not just in Congress in debate for which you get immunity under the Westfall Act.
	The Covington Kids lawsuit against Deborah Holland and Elizabeth Warren as relates to tweets that are still up was dismissed under the Westfall Act, which is basically immunity for federal workers unless the state waives the immunity and allows the suit to go forward.
	So Matt Taibbi had sued and this morning he took to Twitter to post an update that he got on a letter bearing the letterhead of Alina Habba that says, Dear U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, thank you for the letter I received last night pictured below on your letterhead.
	We've replied, will the attorney assistant United States Attorney Basiak separately, sincerely, Matt Taibbi.
	Now, some people who either don't read the letter or don't get that he's being sarcastic, may not get that he's being sarcastic, but this is the letter that he got from these United States of America.
	And the problem is it's going to piss everybody off.
	It's an injustice, but it's a lawful injustice under the laws as they currently exist and how they've currently been interpreted.
	So this is Taibi versus Kamlajer Dove.
	She's a Democrat and now you have the bar looking after the members of the bar, everybody, because everybody, every politician wants to be able to freely defame, even if they're the victims of it.
	And so whether or not there's an inherent conflict of interest for the administration to hold Kamlajer.
	hold Camlager Dove responsible when it might be used against other Republican politicians later.
	Judge Payton, this is coming from Alina Habba, but it's signed by, it's signed by Alina Habba, by John Bassiak, Assistant United States Attorney.
	All right, here we go.
	And it says that the office represents a defendant United States improperly pleaded as Sidney.
	Camlager in the above reference matter stemming from allegedly defamatory statements.
	We write to request pre-motion conference in accordance with your honor's individual preferences.
	We anticipate filing a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under rule twelve b one.
	That's the general motion to dismiss failure to state a claim or lack of jurisdiction.
	I think twelve b two is failure to state a claim.
	twelve b one is lack of jurisdiction.
	For two reasons, plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
	And two, his claims are barred by the intentional tort exception of the Federal Tort Claims Act.
	Thus, the court should dismiss the amended complaint.
	We don't need to know the background.
	The Federal Tort Claims Act is the exclusive remedy for, quote, injury or loss of property, yada yada yada.
	The FTCA provides a mechanism for the United States to substitute itself as the defendant for employees sued individually, which I feel that they've done here as relevant here upon certification by the Attorney General or her designated that the defendant employee was acting within the scope of his employment or employment at the time shall be deemed an action against the United States.
	So they've taken up the defense here for and on behalf of the employee.
	The FTCA applies here because plaintiff alleges that he suffered personal injuries from statements made by Congresswoman Kamla Gardove during a congressional hearing and republished on social media.
	In other words, she's an employee of the state court lacks jurisdiction.
	The court lacks jurisdiction over plaintiff's defamatory defamation claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act for two reasons.
	He failed to exhaust his administrative remedies.
	And second, the claim is barred under the FTCA's.
	See what drives me nuts is I don't know if this is the nudge, nudge so that Taibi, you know, goes through the proper procedure so that they can then compensate him and just make him do it according to the letter of the law.
	It sounds here, you know, they're going to say sorry, Westfall Act precludes you from even being able to sue employees in the first place because we haven't waived sovereign immunity.
	To invoke the FTCA's limited waiver of sovereign immunity, a plaintiff prior to filing the suit must present a claim to the appropriate federal agency and the appropriate federal agency must either deny the claim in writing or not act for the period of six months.
	Accordingly, courts lack subject matter jurisdiction where the plaintiff institutes an action before exhausting administrative remedies.
	The requirement or jurisdictional cannot be waived.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Now I'm wondering if he's going to be time barred if he goes back to try to go through those procedural remedies.
	I'll have to pick Barnes'brain about that on Sunday night because – I've done my best to learn the laws of the land through the last seven years of legal political analysis and commentary.
	But here plaintiff does not allege that he submitted an administrative tort claim.
	The House of Representatives has no record of such a claim.
	The way a second, even if plaintiff had fulfilled it, the court still lacks subject matject matter jurisdiction because the United States has not waived sovereign immunity for defamation claims, nor do they want to.
	It would seem.
	Although maybe, as Barnes said during the Elizabeth Warren Debra Holland case, maybe this will be the public outcry for the government to, you know, they didn't like presidential immunity.
	They didn't like presidential immunity because of the power that it would give to the president to literally assassinate his political rival.
	Horse shit that was never a proper interpretation.
	If they didn't like presidential immunity, they should probably also not like as much federal employee immunity.
	Defamation suits against the United States are prohibited under the section.
	Thus, the court should dismiss the plaintiff's amended complaint.
	And then you have the delay here.
	So, Matt Taibbi is learning that, uh, A, he may or may not have followed the proper procedure to begin with, but even if he had, they didn't waive a sovereign immunity as related to defamation claims, nor apparently do they want to because that is a weapon that they like to have at their disposal, or at the very least a shield that they like to have at their disposal.
	Although maybe if the public outcry is adequate, sufficient, and loud enough, maybe they'll say, hmm, we were ready to strip the president of presidential immunity.
	Let's talk about not protecting employees with federal employee immunity, certainly not when they are acting beyond the scope of their duties and certainly potentially even when acting within their duties, quote unquote, when they're doing it maliciously for the purposes of exploiting their immunity to overtly, deliberately and maliciously defame a citizen.
	But that's that.
	And that's the story.
	And I'll see if I can get to Taibe and we can talk about it because we'll see what his next step is in all of this.
	Now, before we go and raid redacted, all of the standard reminders, PO box, send something.
	We'll do unboxings and read messages.
	That's the PO box.
	You want to get some merch.
	Go to vivafry.com.
	This is what the merch looks like.
	And we've got, I gotta probably put up a new design sooner than later just to keep things fresh.
	If you want to get a Louis the Lobster returns to the sea book, everyone loves a good kids book.
	No one has ever regretted buying an Edward Munch kids book, not to compare myself to him.
	Here is an affiliate link to the book that I wrote illustrated by the daughter of a member of our locals community, Abigail Mardin.
	And we are going to take the party on over to viva barneslaw dot locals dot com where we have the after party every day.
	Barnes does bourbon with Barnes's every evening.

	Rumble.
	And well, now we're going to, you know, I'll do that after we go raid.
	Let's raid.

	Let them know from whence you raided from where you raided.
	Put the hard H in the where.
	I got seven lobsters.
	Let's look at the chat now that we've done, now that we've affected the raid.
	I got seven lobsters last Saturday grilled so good.
	I whenever I grill them, they come out too dry.
	And then I tried to boil the tails for a few minutes before grilling them, and they still got stuck to the shell.
	So I think I'm going to stick to I'm going to stick to boiling lobster.
	There's not, heck, what's that?
	There's not much, I don't know that there's much flavor benefit to grilling them.
	I guess you could just stick them on the grill and get the smoke after they're properly properly what I'm looking for is properly cooked.
	Okay, that's what I'm looking for here.
	The scales of justice that have guided our nation to this point have been solely corrupted by self-serving fools says carnal carnal eater carnal let's see this carnal nature got it, I got it carnal nature, yes.
	Redacted.
	Predicted is awesome.
	And let me see here, we're good.
