Time Text
Ladies and gentlemen of the interwebs, there are a few phrases that, although not exclusively used by the left, tend to be used more often than not by the left, which indicate poor flawed reasoning.
One of which is, let me be clear, followed by what is typically an absolute lie.
The other is do better.
And the other one is, quote, something feels off.
There is nothing wrong with having feelings or emotions.
But when you start basing opinions on unsubstantiated feelings, you have entered into the Tim Dylan zone.
Behold.
This turning point kind of abomination that the right wing of this country has turned into like a bad reality show.
And it's all of the fault of everyone, by the way.
It's the fault of everyone speaking and everyone attending.
There's nobody that gets everything about this is weird and uncomfortable for everyone.
And obviously, I'm not saying she killed her husband or knew about it or whatever.
But I'm saying the guy got shot three months ago and she walks out to a pyrotechnic display, which was Charlie Kirk's favorite type of display from what I understand.
And then she goes, we're going to elect JD Vance at a political event that is literally called America Fest.
It's weird that that's where her head is at.
In terms of trying to preserve the constitutional republic of these United States of America by promoting the current vice president as the future president of these United States of America.
It's real weird.
Feels off.
It's difficult for many people to relate to.
It's not relatable for people that talked about how Hollywood isn't relatable and Hollywood is out of touch.
This looks a lot like Hollywood to most people.
Pause it right there.
Everything that Tim Dylan is saying right now, if you eliminate the parentheses that he opened to impugn Erica Kirk's behavior, would be absolutely justifiable analysis of a political event.
Something feels, it's not relatable to most people.
Most people cannot and will never be able to relate to what Erica Kirk is going through.
And God willing and God bless if they don't.
Because most people haven't had their spouse brutally murdered on live stream for the entire world to see.
So it's not relatable.
The theatrics of a political event.
Okay.
Where is her head at in terms of promoting JD Vance as the next president at the America Fest political rally intended to gin up conservative movement, conservative support heading into the midterms to say most people can't relate to her getting out there and promoting the vice president?
My goodness, if he had just left out everything he said about Erica Kirk and instead assessed the theatrics of the Amfest, it would be totally fair game.
And I think many people would agree with him that it is theatrics.
It's supposed to be theatrics.
It's politics.
And to go out through a stream of fireworks and sparklers and stand there in a glittering pantsuit and talk about electing JD Vance.
God forbid.
Three months after your husband was killed, many people feel that there is something off about that.
Many people feel that there is something off about that.
Do you know what that is?
That's like water divining.
Except, I even think that water diviners have better evidence.
Something feels off.
I can't put my finger on it.
I just want to cast aspersions and protect myself by justifying it based on my fifies.
Oh, my sixth sense is going off.
I don't know what it is.
There's something off about the way Erica Kirk is grieving the murder of her husband.
Something feels a little off.
My goodness, can you imagine the audacity it takes for someone to lecture someone else on what their response should be to the murder of their spouse?
Or what someone should lecture another parent should be the process as it relates to the premature, untimely death of their kid.
May nobody on earth have to go through that, let alone have to be judged by other people.
Oh, she's wearing sparkly pants.
All right, she should be dressed in black from head to toe for the next seven years.
Why?
Because these are the new gods who dictate behavior and protocol.
She should be in a fetal position in the corner of a room, unable to walk, talk, or eat.
She should be losing 25 pounds.
That's what everybody who cannot possibly relate to this thinks should be going on right now.
She should retire from politics, let TPUSA burn to the ground, and let the Democrats have no meaningful conservative opposition for the midterms in the 2028.
And she should, you know, forget about JD Vance.
Just forget about it, right, Tim?
And we're starting to see that political people are the exact same thing as the Hollywood elites that they all love to dunk on.
That would be fair game.
Politics is theatrics to some extent.
The more better the politics, the more natural the theatrics.
The better the politician, the less rehearsed they look.
It's kind of like Obama first time around.
He didn't look like theatrics.
He didn't look like a typical politician.
He looked, I say now, smarmy and backstabby, but he looked smooth and relatable.
And we all look at this.
This is Megan the Stallion twerking at the Kamala rally.
This is deeply unsettling to a lot of people.
It feels like you're being played.
It feels like I have no evidence for you're being played, whatever that means.
It feels like that is second time in two minutes.
You got some great feelings there, Tim.
You feel it.
It seems off.
Fourth time.
You feel like this is a coordinated and choreographed spectacle so that you are played.
They want your money.
It feels like it's a choreographed spectacle.
They want your money.
It's called America Fest political rally, intended to garner support and mobilize people to vote in the midterms.
Everything Tim said about the event is an opinion that people are entitled to have.
Everything he said that threw Erica Kirk in there, she comes out through fireworks and polypyrotechnics and glitter pants.
My goodness.
She should be wearing a black veil for the rest of the year.
But by the way, I mean, I can agree with what Tim is saying on the optics of the event.
When they heard that they had Nikki Minaj up there, and you know, I see the thing and I appreciate what they're trying to do.
It's kind of like what they tried to do at not the RNC, but when they had that other, I don't want to say former adult star model, but they had that woman with the short hair, Rose, I think.
And I remember a number of conservatives complaining this is not the type of influence we want in the conservative movement.
And I remember other people pushing back and saying, this is how you get a broad coalition.
You want to reach mainstream.
You want to reach kids.
You want to reach the next generation.
You're not going to do it from your smoking your pipes, gray-haired, whatever the hell it is.
But I can appreciate criticizing the event.
When they had Nikki Minaj, I'm like, oh, isn't she the one who sang Wet Ass the JJ, WAP?
I was wrong.
It was Cardi B.
I might be, which way was it now?
Yeah, Cardi B sang the, you know, the pinnacle of human intelligence of the song, WAP, which I thought, WAP, I thought it was the offensive slur for an Italian person.
I'm not trying to be funny.
I didn't know what the song was.
I still don't know.
I mean, I unfortunately Googled the song, and the WAP was not the offensive slur for Italian Americans.
It was an acronym for a highly moisturized vagina.
It's wet-ass pussy for those of you who don't know.
If I have to go look and see if Nikki Minaj is the woman who sang that song, you know, maybe you want that at a conservative America Fest conference if you're trying to reach a new demographic in order to win future elections.
But then, you know, as the old expression goes, cast your tents too wide or cast your net too wide and you're going to catch more fish and different types of fish than you necessarily want.
But to sit there, and I'm just fed up with this.
Like, I'm fed up with people saying, oh, Erica Kirk, that's not how a grieving widow behaves.
And I put up a tweet and someone else says, I was, my husband or my significant other was murdered.
I was incapacitated for six months.
First of all, I can understand if people respond that way as well.
I can understand if people go into full automaton mode in order just not to become incapacitated for six months.
Is what we're saying right now, the person who's gone through it, in order for you to grieve in a way that I won't deem suspicious, you got to be incapacitated for six months.
You got to be on antidepressants and lose weight, stay in your basement.
Someone's saying, I don't remember Jackie Onassis Kennedy behaving like this after JFK got assassinated.
I'm like, well, first of all, there might have been a bit of a fear of her getting assassinated.
Second of all, she might have responded differently and did.
Third of all, there might have been different reasons for which Jackie Onassis could relinquish herself to despair and not make any public appearances for a year.
Maybe she didn't have the TPUSA organization, the people that it employs, the politics that it promotes.
Maybe she didn't have that to salvage.
And I don't think she did.
JFK died.
What more was Jackie Oga to do?
These people are like, oh, Jackie Odin didn't mourn like that.
Well, when it's good to compare the differences, it's good to compare the differences as if there's any by the book textbook way of mourning and as if their interests or political needs or economic political situations are the same.
There's an organization, TPUSA, the Charlie Kirk Show, to maintain so that it has its political power.
Erica Kirk might not have the luxury or she might not have the desire to become incapacitated for six months and let her husband's legacy burn to the ground.
But my goodness, people have no way to compare to this.
They have very little experience with this, but they sure are quick to judge.
But as far as what Tim Dylan said about the event, yeah, sure.
You want to call it cheesy, whatever?
Go ahead.
It's politics.
We went to the RNC.
It was politics.
You might not want everyone who spoke there to be there.
You might think it's a little cheap, a little tawdry.
Hulk Hogan coming up and ripping his shirt off.
Some people are like, what is this?
This is theatrics.
Of course it is.
It's politics.
Great observation.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, how goes the battle.
This is the Sunday show.
Hold on, I just got to check something here.
This is the Sunday show on a Monday because we had a Christmas party and could not miss the Christmas party.
It would have resulted in swift divorces, but also I wanted to go to the Christmas party because I like Christmas parties.
Viva Fry, David Fryhead, former Montreal litigator, turned current Florida Rumbler on the road.
I think the lighting is pretty good.
I was going to do like a little shitball.
Well, I'll put that back up when Robert gets here.
Welcome to the show, everybody.
We're live across all platforms today.
If you like what we do here, you know what to do.
Snip, clip, share away.
Come and join us at vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
Heart02 said, you had a shirt on one time saying politics ruins.
What was the last word by any chance?
Oh, yes.
It was everything good, sir.
And if you want to get one of those shirts, you can go to vivafry.com and have a look.
See, support the channel.
I got one other thing to share this before.
I had two videos that I was going to start the show with here.
You can go to vivafry.com, get some, get some merch.
It's good stuff.
If you want to support the channel, everybody needs a coffee cup.
Everybody needs a shirt to wear.
And the politics ruins everything.
Don't vote for any.
You see, that's old now.
One other thing before we get started, before Barnes gets in here, we're going to have one hell of a show.
This is what I was going to start the show with.
There's nothing graphic in it, although the story itself is sufficiently graphic that it wouldn't let me open this up in incognito because of the graphic nature of this.
This is a story of a 75-year-old woman who was struck in the face, unprovoked.
I mean, it's not that you can think that you could provoke a 75-year-old, provoke someone into striking a 75-year-old lady in the eye with a stick with a screw sticking out of it, blinded in her eye by a mentally ill career habitual criminal on the street.
I'm going to play this for you because when you hear what the police have to say about this, you're going to realize that more than one person needs to go to jail for this attack.
75-year-old Jeanette Markins standing on the corner, and police say this is Folly Pea walking up with a stick in his hand when out of nowhere he attacks her.
Jeanette is knocked to the ground.
Bystanders take a picture of the suspect, then rush.
What did I just do here?
I wait.
To help Jeanette.
The full scope of what happened wasn't clear yet.
Listen to this.
Police arrested Pea a block away and found the weapon.
This wooden board with a screw through the end of it.
Police say that screw went through Jeanette's eye.
He's a regular.
He usually punches.
I guess today he decides to escalate things way worse than his usual.
Where is he?
He's usually just up and down there.
Now, as far as I understand, they're talking to a police officer who said he's a usual.
He just usually punches people.
I guess this day he decided to escalate for what he was feeling bad this morning.
He wanted more damage.
As paramedics race her to the hospital, it becomes obvious police know Folly Paya well.
Yeah, suspect's ID.
He's being searched right now.
Yeah.
Oh, you know him?
Oh, he's notorious for a random assault on 30 years.
Court records show Pea had multiple prior convictions for assault, including stabbing someone eight times.
Why did it keep stopping when I ended a party?
You have multiple, multiple assaults, including just stabbing someone eight times at a party in jail for a very, very long time.
Each and any one of these single assaults.
But no, I'll take what's take my chances.
That's the end of the report.
That man was on the streets after all of those arrests.
All of the, oh, you just, you just, you know, it's just mental illness.
He just needs treatment.
It's just drug addiction.
He needs treatment.
If you just give him money, universal basic income, it'll be totally cool.
It'll resolve everything.
The system is broken.
The judges that put these guys back out on the streets with minimal punishment, if any, deserve to be impeached, removed from the bench, and possibly jailed.
It's an absolute outrage.
And now there's a woman.
I mean, first of all, situational awareness at all times.
Full 360.
You might look a little crazy.
People are sitting there with their noses into their phones and are leaving themselves open for sucker punches or getting randomly struck by a dude who's walking around with a freaking mace.
I don't know if that qualifies as a mace.
It's a medieval torture device, a stick with shit sticking out of it.
Oh, yeah, no, he's a regular.
Usually he's just up to a little sucker punching.
Today, he must have been angry.
He must have not gotten his weedies this morning.
A little cranky.
I'm going to go blind to 70-year-old woman.
Viva, restart the stream.
The locals chat is broken.
Hold on.
Let me see what's going on here.
No, it looks like we're good.
Keep your head on a swivel in public, says Bill Brown.
It looks like the stream recently.
I think everyone might have to refresh there.
And we got Kimmy Hunt.
I was alive when Jackie Kennedy was widowed, and she got right back out there.
Nobody criticized her.
What these creeps are doing to Erica is disgusting.
I was going to respond to that accusation, but you know, I wasn't alive when that happened.
I don't know what she did.
And I don't know what the media reports of what she did then and what AI aggregates from its understanding of what the media reported back then.
Because AI is only going to be as good as the information that was published at the time, which was probably just as broken and propagandized as it is today.
So I go look up.
What is she?
Oh, you know, AI says she left the public appearance for a year.
She eventually started doing interviews and stuff, but she was low-key for the first year.
There might be 50 reasons why that was the case for her that don't have anything to do with Jackie O setting the precedent for how people grieve the loss of their love of their lives.
And some might say that it's there, despite all desires to wither up and die, you got kids and you got a legacy that you don't want to be killed with your husband and have that nutbag, whoever did it, whoever you think did it, succeed in what they were clearly attempting to do.
And that's that.
Let me see where Barnes is here.
I think I texted him.
He does have the link.
Locals chat is super effed.
Francis, I don't think refreshing it's going to do anything on my end.
I can't restart the stream on locals because it's going through.
So apologies if there's glitching there.
So that's what's going on there.
Now, let me just see one thing here.
Just go here.
How long does Amfest go on for?
Oh, it's Russell Brand who's at Amfest.
Oh, well, all right.
But before we get into this today, I'm trying to figure things out in terms of the information that we have.
Now, there's a straight up bad faith propagandist on the Twitterverse.
And I wake up to see this story and I'm trying to piece it together.
And if people can assist with that, it would help.
I hear Barnes in the backdrop.
Ooh, let's see.
Hold on a second.
Good, sir.
How goes the battle?
The any, how's the echo?
There is no echo, but now I don't know if it's because I've done something different on my end because I'm just using my laptop mic.
No, this is perfect.
Did you fix something on your end, Robert?
Well, I happen to be in Vegas.
All right, well, I'm telling you, okay, it doesn't matter.
It's beautiful.
Sir, satisfy one OCD element.
Move the camera to your right shoulder.
Just no, the other way.
Yeah, there goes.
Okay.
Okay.
That's good enough.
Okay.
I'm not going to let my OCD get too far ahead.
Robert, sir, how goes the battle?
Good, good.
Are you watching Anfest?
I was going to go down there, but I ended up in Vegas.
I was in California.
There was a continuance granted there.
So the hearing that was anticipated got continued to January and came to Vegas and then was going to go down to Phoenix, the turning point people that had invited me down and had some VIP passes and what have you.
But I had to take care of some client matters here.
So that ended up, I didn't get a chance to get down there.
Richard Barris was down there.
Mark Mitchell was down there.
Steve Bannon was down there.
Mike Cernovich was down there.
Luke Ritkowski, I think, might have been there as well.
Jack Pisobic was there.
Megan Kelly, Tucker Carlson, a range of other, of course, sort of prominent people.
There was a various media narratives coming out about it, some of which were right, some of which I think were off base.
But I agree with your criticism.
I mean, Tim Dylan should be a funny guy.
I've enjoyed his comedy in the past, now breaching into political commentary.
He should just be upping his defamation lawyers for repeating all the gibberish that Candace Owens put out about the originally about Bridget Macron.
I don't think he's paying any attention to that.
Dylan and some of these people are living in a fantasy land.
It's almost like they've got so buried in their own little bubble that they don't understand what they're doing or saying.
And this was just another variation of that.
I mean, Dylan is playing to the Candace Owens crowd who wants to portray nothing Erica Kirk can do is right.
And a lot of these people are just scuzzbags.
They're bottom barrels.
And notice their accounts.
Like when they respond on X or YouTube or Rumble, they're always like bot looking accounts, right?
I mean, there's almost, there's no like Joe Jackson from Nevada.
You know what I mean?
It's always, and my favorite one was the most recent one was a bot account said, I am a human man.
I'm just not a human man, right?
So the so a lot of this was kind of nonsense, but I thought the criticism was absurd, absurd.
Turning point's always been a, you know, a showy young people.
It's very much sort of like in the young evangelical tradition.
If you go to a lot of those mega churches, you know, optimistic, praising a lot of like cool music and lights and so forth.
People still think that the Robert Kennedy coming out to meet Trump to announce that coalition with the lights going off was one of the best visual shots ever.
So a lot of these criticisms are just asinine.
And they're people that you meet these people.
We all know what they're like.
They're usually moral degenerates.
A lot of these criticisms accusing everyone else of moral degeneracy.
Without fail, about 80, 90% of them are going to be moral degenerates.
The other thing is they're going to be nasty people, right?
You know, we've all met these people.
They're just nasty.
They're nasty in their personal lives.
They're nasty in their family lives.
They're nasty in their professional.
Does anybody want to be Candace Owens' friend?
No, you don't want to be around her.
You don't want to be in her circle.
It's just nasty.
Nasty, mean, sick, disgusting.
What they accuse everybody else of is who they are.
A lot of confession through projection.
It looked to me like the event, I mean, great credit to these young people.
It's almost overwhelmingly young people that run this.
Your leader gets murdered just a few months ago.
It would be very easy to stick your head in the sand and just forget about all this, to quit politics, to at least take a long hiatus, which apparently some idiots want to see happen that are on the right.
No, you're not.
You're a fraud.
You're a fake.
You're a phony.
Go back to where you belong like Tim Dylan, sticking with mediocre comedy.
All right.
Stick there, Tim.
You're not any good in this world.
You're not that useful or educational or informative.
Trying to pretend, oh, Candace Owens getting millions of clicks.
I bet I get millions of clicks by doing the same stupid BS.
Candace Owens is going to be bankrupted in two years.
I mean, there's more lawsuits coming.
The problem is she's going to be judgment proof.
The Macrons, I know you're still hopeful.
I'm not.
The Macrons are going to ring her up left and right.
She's DOA legally.
She makes stuff up.
She had more people on this week that were people were able to call out in like five minutes.
Five minutes, like, this is totally fake.
This is totally fraudulent.
Now, you've invited Candace on.
If she has, look, Candace Owens is so weak, such a weak person, such a liar and a fake and a phony and a fraud that she doesn't even have the guts to go in with Viva.
I understand not wanting to debate me.
That'd be the end of Candace Owens forever in the court of public opinion.
But I mean, Viva's always a sweetheart and she's scared to go on and talk with Viva.
She's a phony.
She's a fraud.
End of story.
TPUSA, great credit, great work, great job putting on an extraordinary event that the people there love, that keep a lot of young people engaged in the political process and in the cultural revolution, returning to faith, family, and putting those things first, along with freedom.
And Erica Kirk standing strong and staying strong despite these barrage of nasty, vicious personal attacks against a widow of young children.
Credit to her for staying and standing strong.
It is, like you say, some of the people who have now gathered under the tent of the right after the last election saying effectively Amfest or TPUSA should just wind up and grieve and let's let that serve to the destruction or the detriment of the GOP, the conservative movement in 2028.
It's like they're no way.
They're going to be happy.
Then they would say, oh, look at how you're trying to capitalize on the funeral.
Look at how you're trying to make that.
These people are frauds.
The critics are frauds.
That's all they are.
That's all they've ever been.
That's all they'll ever be.
So when you're busy bashing a widow, you're the problem.
End of story.
I still don't think Candace is judgment proof for Matt Cole, but we'll see.
But Robert, like you saw she was on with Pierce Morgan and she successfully managed, in my view, to make Pierce Morgan look like he was asking the right questions.
She put out a post.
It was a clip where she said, you know, when I told people to, when I called TPUSA a Godforsaken company and told people not to donate, in that meeting, do you have any doubt that Erica Kirk and or legal team said anything about torturous interference with prospective business relations?
To me, I think the people of TPUSA in the tradition of Charlie Kirk have been extraordinarily, and I would say exceedingly generous with Candace.
If I had been in that room, by golly, that's exactly what I would have laid out.
Said, look, you're a liar, you're a fake, you're a phony and a fraud.
You have been the whole time.
We've held our tongue.
We're not going to keep holding it if you keep lying about Erica Kirk and the people of TPUSA.
I suspect this lawyer did not, because that's not TPUSA's demeanor.
Their demeanor is to be tolerant, to be open-minded, to be engaging, to be all the things that the caricatures and stereotypes of Charlie Kirk were always wrong about.
Charlie was one of the most open-minded people on the right in the court of public opinion period in the country.
And Erica Kirk and Andrew and others at the TPUSA have continued that tradition.
Like what everybody was calling a deep rift and a deep divide was their willingness to be open to discussion, debate, and dialogue amongst a range of people on the right.
They get criticized for bringing in Nikki Minaj because of her past interesting music, which I was curious to hear you describe in detail.
I was wondering how you were going to go with that.
I don't know, but it wasn't what I thought it meant.
But the detail, describe it.
But that's who they are.
They're open-minded and they try to bring a range of people in.
They have a core set of values themselves that they promote and pitch.
But within those core set of values and included in that is open discussion, open dialogue, open debate.
That's why him going around it.
And the other is like people were mad that they had a place that people could take photos under the tent where he was murdered.
That was them pushing back on the efforts to martyr him.
That was them pushing back and saying, we will not go gently into that good night because Charlie Kirk wouldn't have either.
No matter what they did, they would have been criticized and critiqued, no matter what they did.
Now, and you saw Candace, those of us that said Candace was a bad faith actor and much of her audience is a bunch of lunatics, got to see that on full display because right after she does this meeting, she turns around and starts attacking Candace and TPUSA, Erica and TPUSA all over again, just like many of us said she would.
Because she's a clickbait whore.
That's what she's always been at heart.
She's, you know, someone that's very shallow, superficial, you know, has repeatedly used race in both ways to promote herself when she was on the left, then to promote herself when she's on the right.
That's who she is.
Sees conspiracies everywhere, sees Jews everywhere.
It's the nature of who and what she is and has been really for quite some time.
She has a long libel history.
She's libeled all kinds of people going back eight years.
She libeled Steven Crowder.
She libeled a whole bunch of prominent black conservatives.
And she's just been getting away with it, doing her soap opera, Oprah wannabe, Alex Jones imitation routine.
To give you an idea of how nuts she's become and how offensive she is to people that have any degree of conscience or soul, Alex Jones was finished with it this weekend.
He was like, enough's enough.
Quit pushing out these ridiculous lies, these preposterous conspiracy theories that undermine legitimate inquiry.
And he's like, if you don't, I'm going to give you the real receipts, Candace, and show you how this is done the right way.
And you're going to see Alex start ramping up.
And Alex is a guy that doesn't like to hit right as a general rule.
And he has platformed Candace as much as anybody.
I mean, he's interviewed Fuentes extensively and was unafraid to do so.
But he's unbashful.
People don't understand.
She thought she could just be a pretend version of Alex Jones, that she could be the black female Oprah version of Alex Jones.
She never understood Alex Jones.
Alex Jones has a degree of knowledge that's encyclopedic about a wide range of topics.
I mean, I once had a conversation with him, and I was like, man, I came across this really interesting 1965 documentary concerning deep state activity.
And he started quoting it back to me.
That's who Alex is.
You think Candace could do that?
What a joke.
The Stalin is a Jew, everybody.
I mean, come on.
I'm done with her.
I'm done with it.
Been done with her for a while.
Been critiquing her for a while and going to continue.
And I think the description that people gave about TPUSA is they all think Candace is crazy and don't take her seriously.
They all, they think Tucker now and then is a little crazy, but they love him because they know his heart and his soul is with the American populist cause.
And they all love JD Vance.
And Tel Aviv Ted Cruz, all these people saying, oh, TPUSA has been taken over by Israel, Bob.
Oh, really?
Then why was some of the most prominent people profiled and platform, Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon?
And Bannon took it his opportunity to bash the living daylights out of Benji Shapiro.
They were just going to be open and tolerant.
Hey, Shapiro, you come in.
You can make your presentation.
And then everybody else were going to have make a presentation.
And at the end, how did the TPUSA members vote?
They gave, guess how many votes Tel Aviv Ted got?
0.3%.
Zero.
He's not even within the rounding error.
That's how little support Tel Aviv Ted has.
So TPUSA hasn't been taken over by Israel.
You bunch of lunatics listening to kooky Candace, queen of the kooks.
That's who and what she is.
And I say this, like people accuse me when I open the invite to Candace, they say, oh, Vivi, you're just, you're chasing the attention in her platform.
The only reason I'm convinced that she won't come on with me is because I'm not big enough to offer anything.
Same thing with Pierce Morgan.
Like he will have on Rabbi Shmooly because he can exploit Rabbi Shmooley for clicks.
It wouldn't be quite the same with me.
I've invited Ian Carroll on multiple times.
He's been on before, but doesn't want to come on to discuss this particular issue.
Chris Martinson is the only one who had the intellectual courage to come on, and we had a good discussion.
But I'm not, I want to have the discussion viva voce.
But I think Candace, having seen the way it went with Pierce Morgan, doesn't necessarily want to have it with anybody else and is just happy to go right back to doing what she's doing.
But so you don't think TPUSA, you don't think Erica Kirk said, you know, we can go Gibson's bakery on you and we'll see how because it's just not who she is.
It's not who TPUSA is.
It's not who Charlie Kirk is.
And respecting his legacy will be a very important high value to everybody in that organization.
These are young idealists, very optimist, want to be cheery, want to be like, people were like, oh, Barnes, I've told people, in my funeral, by golly, I want at least half of it to be a New Orleans jazz style funeral because a funeral should not just mourn death.
It should celebrate life.
And this TPUSA event, they already had the funeral, that this TPUSA event was about celebrating the life and continuing the legacy of Charlie Kirk.
And I'm sorry that lard asses like Tim Dylan are crying about it, but I don't care what they think.
And I'm sure all the Candace kooks were shocked.
They're like, oh, yes, Candace is going to take over TPUSA because she's the true conservative because she understands that the Jews really secretly run the world and all that kind of nonsense.
This is a tiny group of people.
The one thing I'll agree with the Candace supporters on is: no, Candace will not impact the 2026 elections because nobody cares about Candace Owens.
That's the reality.
Half the people that tune in just want to see her implode.
And when she didn't come back and say, I took it to the to expose the Jew conspiracy to Ericer, half of her own audience was screaming at her.
Oh, you have betrayed us Jews.
They're crying like losers.
These are losers.
These are losers living in their basement.
Half of them are bots.
Look at Nick Fuentes.
They did a social media study, and they're like two-thirds of the responses to him suggest it's fake.
That it's either he's bought it or somebody else has bought a bunch of bots to artificially boost him.
This is becoming increasingly clear.
The average person doesn't know who Nick Fuentes is.
The average person doesn't know who Candace Owens is.
So I agree with those in the chat that are like, they're done with it.
We're done with it.
We got plenty of topics tonight.
Speaking of real conspiracies, we got the Epstein files disclosure or the lack thereof.
God bless some people who Todd Blanche apparently can't read law.
Pam Bondi can't follow law.
And even some other people, Army Dylan and some others, were sticking their necks out in ways that they are better off not doing.
Because we can talk about something called inherent contempt, which is what Pam Bondi will be facing in the new year.
We've got Georgia election fraud.
What a shock.
I'm totally shocked.
Not like some of us weren't on the front lines of this all along.
But of course, why didn't that fraud ever get fully outed?
Because everybody was chasing Venezuela conspiracy theories involving Smartmatic and Dominion and machines and servers in Germany and the rest.
They are as responsible and as culpable for what happened in Georgia not getting exposed earlier as Rat Burger and the rest.
We've got Venezuela boat strikes, letters of mark being proposed by Senator Mike Lee.
Have we returned to full-scale old school buccaneering and privacy and piracy in the name of the Trump administration?
Dan Bongino retires.
Might have a brief debate about that.
Viva has the more sympathetic perspective, a little bit of a less sympathetic perspective.
But we'll get into that.
Brown University killer.
Kash Patel was busy on various podcasts with his girlfriend.
But thank God, a homeless man actually apparently found the true culprit.
Sorry, a homeless man.
We'll get there, living in the basement of the institute.
Living in the basement on campus.
You couldn't make this up.
The ICE judge, the one who helped corruptly try to obstruct the case.
And Milwaukee convicted of a felony crime.
We've got ICE judges suing under the First Amendment.
We've got a First Amendment FBI whistleblower claim as well.
Steve Friend, wrongfully terminated, it appears by Kash Patel in violation of his First Amendment freedoms.
We've got Maryland wants reparations.
That's right.
The reparations are back.
Just when you thought they were finally dead and gone, they're coming back.
Is that constitutional?
Luigi's evidentiary hearings finished up.
While it looks like Luigi might be facing a jury trial after all, anti-Semitism law, in this case passed by Governor of California, Governor Newsom, being challenged on First Amendment grounds, the same basis could be challenged on the Trump administration rules that they have also followed from the Biden administration rules.
We've got, what is a true utter shocker, Somali fraud in Minnesota.
Who knew that a constituency represented by an immigration fraudster would have a bunch of Medicare, Medicaid, healthcare, welfare, and all kinds of other fraud.
And while they're at it, as some of us have talked about for a while, when you wonder why are there bogus child abuse allegations brought against good parents, a certain Minnesota lawyer might come to mind who was falsely accused.
Well, it turns out, according to a whistleblower, the high-ranking Minnesota authorities are involved in a massive fraud to inflate child abuse stats where they don't exist in order to line their pockets with your taxpayer dollars.
Walmart, caught helping people, helping perverts get access to your kids and commit sexual assault on children.
Baby Shark ends up in a complicated China Hague lawsuit, the song that some people can't get out of their head.
And that's just most of the topics for today.
There was a super chat on Commitube that says, any comment on the financial fraud that Wolves and Finance has pointed out, I know your answer to this, Robert.
Wolves in Finance is a big fat fraud.
He's a joke.
He's a disgrace.
He's a liar.
Liar about the records of TPUSA.
He falsely stated that the TPUSAs didn't have a, they didn't have an address at a place, basically a mail drop at a location.
He was lying about it.
It was right there.
It's like, oh, I came to the mall and there's nothing here.
It must be totally fake business.
Everybody uses mail drops for the most part.
If you're TPUSA, you have very good security reasons for doing so.
And he just lied about it.
Wolves in finance, fraud, fake, phony.
That's all he is.
That's all he's ever going to be.
He lied about how tax law works.
He lied about how charitable work law law works.
He lied about what TPU.
He's like, look at this TP action.
2024 has made a bunch of money.
Maybe they made it in secret from Charlie Kirk.
It was their get out the vote operation for 2024, you nitwit.
I mean, he just lied about every basic thing.
Wolves in finance, big fat fraud.
He wants to get into the clickbait whore world with Candace Owens.
He's the queen of the brothel there.
And that's all he did well.
And that's the only thing he did right.
I'm going to read three of these.
Then we're going to get into, we're going to start with the Epstein stuff.
I will say she did get criticized when she married Aristotle Onassis.
Many thought a Catholic widow should never remarry.
Then we got Karen Johnson's security reasons, by the way.
She made it clear.
She married a billionaire with an extraordinary security protection around the world.
That's what she was doing.
Careful, Barnes, lest Viva wrecks you like he wrecked the hotel room.
I put it back up.
It's fine.
Yo, Robert, we banned child sex changes.
Also, we got pretty good turnout and signal boost despite being scheduled during Amfest.
Amazing.
And I'm going to read the built-ong one later.
Robert, let's start with one where I want to make sure that I got it right and I haven't made any mistakes.
The Epstein disclosures.
They signed that bill, which is effectively a law that says they have to disclose everything within 30 days.
They can redact as necessary to comply with the law to protect victims' identities, whatever, sources and methods and all this other stuff.
30 Days comes and goes.
Friday, they say, and I don't know that Politico, you know, Politico is a propagandist rag, but they're not always wrong.
Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi say, We're not going to make the delay.
We need more time, but we're going to disclose some stuff today.
So we're in compliance, except we haven't fully complied.
Give us a few more weeks because there's a lot of stuff, even though six months ago we told you there was nothing.
Set that aside.
They then release documents which were heavily redacted, with, as far as I could tell, no redaction code, no explanation for the redactions.
There was a 119-page document redacted from top to bottom, and it didn't even have the number of lines on the page.
Nothing, just like a joke.
No explanation either.
Then people say to me, Viva, you're an idiot.
This is grand jury testimony.
It has to be fully redacted.
But then they also, from what I understood, released grand jury testimony that was not fully redacted, but that was only redacted to protect the names of the investigators and the, I guess, either victims or non-party peoples to that grand jury testimony.
And so I don't know if I made a mistake in terms of thinking that they were improperly redacting at least one document without specifying the nature of the redactions, and that they have no good legal excuse to say after a month, we need more time and not expect to be held in contempt or what you're going to refer to as I forget the term now, if Democrats ever regain positions of power.
So it was my assessment that they did not fully comply with what they were required to comply with.
Is that inaccurate?
And the redactions, were they identified?
Were they specified and I missed it?
Or are they just known redactions that are totally justified under the law?
I see somebody in the chats like, oh, you guys don't only get 10,000 views.
You don't have an impact.
Dude, check into all views across all podcasts.
On average, it's over a quarter of a million every single week.
Somebody's so dumb, they don't know the difference between live viewership and the rest.
Second, these people that confuse clicks with impact still don't understand American politics or global politics.
The getting millions of views means literally nothing, nine times out of 10.
Because all it means, people around the world tuned in to see a whole bunch of things.
That doesn't mean they share the opinion.
That doesn't mean they're going to spread the opinion.
It doesn't mean who's watching it anybody cares about.
They're generally inconsequential, unimpactful individuals.
You can impact the public debate and dialogue to some degree, but you're not really meaningfully moving the needle in terms of actual policy change.
So just a little FYI about how I see a lot of influencers out there chasing clicks, thinking clicks equals influence.
Generally, no, it doesn't.
What it means influence is substantive commentary of some degree of value that ultimately translates into impacting the court of public opinion in ways that can actually impact people's behavior in actual policy.
To give an example, even though Brooke Jackson wasn't able to win her case to date, her case going public saved millions of lives.
How many lives has Candace Owens ever saved?
So sorry.
But that criticism, it's the criticism of losers who will criticize regardless.
If you get big numbers, they'll accuse you of being clickbait or just doing it for the views.
And if you don't get their big numbers, then they accuse you of being irrelevant, whatever.
You know who gets lots of views?
That woman who had sex with a thousand people at a day.
They get lots of clicks.
What I've been after is substance and first and foremost, not being first, but being right and trying to be insightful, whether it's popular or not.
So I think we've succeeded, Robert, and I am very, very proud of what we have here.
Oh, please note that.
And I'm saying it to give advice to others out there.
Oh, yeah, no, no, I know.
Other people like the Wolves in Finance who could have been presenting important, influential, useful information, like say a Jeff Snyder or Brent Johnson or George Gammon or others on issues of economics and Wall Street and politics and corruption.
See the same with Tim Dylan, who can do a very comedic insight about the way things are working in the world.
And they're destroying it for the purposes of chasing clicks, confusing clicks with actual influence when the two ain't got nothing to do with one another.
Not over time, not in a sustained way.
So the Epstein Transparent, Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed by unanimously by the Senate, almost unanimously by the House, sign into law by the President of the United States, contrary to what Todd Blanch apparently thinks, overrides all prior other law.
So like Blanche was citing old FOIA law and other law.
No, this trumped that by definition.
Whenever you have a law of spec that addresses a specific matter, it trumps a law of general matter.
So let's say you have a specific law that says, here's how you're going to handle issue A, and then you have a general law that says any issue like A will be handled in this way.
The specific law trumps the general law.
You can't use the general law to restrict the interpretation of the specific law.
And yet Todd Blanch, that wit was saying that on national TV yesterday.
So the specific law says, here's what you can redact for.
First, you can only redact temporarily.
Contrary to what Michael Tracy was saying, Michael Tracy's busy burning his credibility in live time.
I think Tracy, like, I don't think Tracy believes sexual abuse ever even occurs.
He has this like weird proclivity to want to defend anybody accused of sexual abuse.
Just saying.
But he misinterpreted the law as well because he can't read it for five seconds.
The actual substance of the law, and there were some people I saw in a range of chats that misunderstood the law.
Be crystal clear.
The transparent, this law trumps all other FOIA and other laws.
So don't cite to me other FOIA laws because they're not applicable here.
This specific law, the Epstein Transparency, Epstein Files Transparency Act, trumps all of those.
So that has specific provisions.
It says, here's when you can redact.
Here's what you can withhold.
You can only redact or withhold something as part of an ongoing investigation, something that has national security direct information that will endanger national security or otherwise the private information of a victim who has not authorized their disclosure of their identity.
So that's it.
And even then, it has to be temporary and you have to give a full explanation of what it is and how it is.
They didn't comply with the law at all.
What they released was only very partial.
Now, if you had been at sportspicks.locals.com, you would have cashed in because I predicted that, in fact, something would indeed come out.
They weren't so insane they would block everything.
And so those people made some nice little Christmas bonus cash leading up into the Christmas.
So congratulations.
But what they didn't do is do what the law required, which was full disclosure.
First of all, about 90% of the documents and information, they didn't disclose at all.
Not redacted, unredacted at all.
They didn't disclose it, period.
They're like, golly gee, we're still trying to get around to it.
You've been working on this for a year.
There's millions of dollars in overtime.
What were they doing?
And sorry to interrupt you.
Pam Bondi positively asserted that there was nothing there in any event other than child pornography.
Like six months ago, after seeing it's on her desk, she says there's nothing there anyhow to be disclosed other than stuff that we're not going to disclose.
And then six months later, it's there's too much to redact within the 30 days that we had to comply with the law.
Oh, it's absurd, which was she claims you've been working on all along.
By the way, it's clear that she never read it.
It's clear Kash Patel never read and reviewed.
So they redacted a bunch of information that they didn't even explain the redactions of.
Like if you were going to do this, you needed to explain in detail.
What you do is you have like a press conference, you go through it, you try to highlight key items, you try to push the narrative, so on and so forth.
They did none of that.
They just dump it.
It's not even searchable in the right way.
They tried to remove documents that had Trump's name or photo in it until they got called on it and that had tried to rush to put it back in.
The Harmon Dylan was mistakenly rushing into the middle of this, which he should not be.
You should not be staking your credibility on this, Army.
Do not get anywhere near this with a 10-foot pole.
Pam Bonnie doesn't know what she's doing.
Todd Blanche doesn't know what he's doing.
Kash Patel doesn't know what he's doing.
Dan Bonginho can't wait to get out the door.
He doesn't want to be part of any of this.
And so the, I mean, his official explanation is different, but we can have our reasoned interpretations of his behavior.
That may be something we agree on Bongino on.
So you look at all of those.
So they didn't comply with the law.
Well, what are the consequences?
Now, I'll get to why I think who is really behind the conspiracy to hide the Epstein files, and it'll be a different take than I think I've seen anywhere else so far.
But it's a thanks in part to the good work of Phil Kennedy, one of the former FBI suspendables, another one of the whistleblowers who's never been properly reinstated or got their back pay.
All the whistleblowers have never got their back pay, as far as I know, which is just an outrage and a disgrace.
It'll be part of the Steve Friend case that may be supported by 1776 Law Center in the new year, which might have a name defendant named Kash Patel in it.
But right now he's busy in his BMW X5 with a special security paid for by the U.S. tax dollars when he's not hopping on a government-paid plane to go hop on a private plane and hop and see his wife in a concert when her fiancé.
No, not even fiancé, girlfriend, girlfriend in a concert.
When he's not busy meeting with Stephen Miller's girlfriend to reminisce about it on a podcast.
But putting all that aside for the moment, so what can happen now is inherent contempt can be brought by the House.
So they haven't tried this in about, or they haven't done it successfully in about a century.
They, credit to Marjorie Taylor Greene and others, tried to get Major Cas under inherent contempt during the Biden administration.
But inherent contempt, the authority for inherent contempt dates back to our founding.
The first time it started happening was the early 1800s.
Many of the people who signed the Bill of Rights, who signed the Constitution, who signed the Declaration of Independence, authorized and approved it.
And the Supreme Court validated it all the way back to the beginning of our country.
And it doesn't require the participation of the Justice Department.
It doesn't require the participation of the judicial branch of government.
It doesn't require the participation of the Senate of the United States.
What it says is here they were put under a very unique, specific law, carefully crafted and drafted by the guy who gets nothing done, Barnes, Thomas Massey, the only guy who could ever get these records released, Massey critics.
Along with Roe Conna, who did very good work on this, who comes from the left populist side of the equation on the Democratic Party side.
And what the law required was them to do something very specific, release all of these files, only redact what had to be redacted with full explanation as to what and why was it redacted and to only make it temporary.
And they did neither.
90% of the files were never disclosed.
And maybe up to 99% of the files have still not been disclosed.
Obvious information, some information already been previously disclosed in other contexts, was improperly and illicitly redacted.
Fox News itself said they were trying to protect the reputation of prominent billionaires and political figures.
Which was specifically excluded from the Transparency Act, which says you don't get to redact to protect reputations or protect from embarrassment.
Yes, no doubt about it.
And so you look at that.
What they can do is they can hold Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel, and anybody else involved in responsibility and accountability, but at least Bondi and Blanche in inherent contempt.
How does inherent contempt work?
The House passes it.
They instruct the sergeant-at-arms to go and physically arrest Pam Bondi and bring her to the House of Representatives, where she must answer questions under penalty of perjury and can be incarcerated at the House until she fully complies with the Epstein Transparency Files Act, Epstein Files Transparency Act.
So the, and already, cash already is being planned by Thomas Massey and Roe Khan.
Whether they will include Blanche, whether they will include other, this is why I've been encouraging Harmee Dylan and others, stay out of this.
Do not defend these idiots, because then Harmead is suggesting she's involved and they would like nothing more than to take Harmit out.
And she's putting your neck under the guillotine for Pam Bondi of all people.
Come on, Harmeet, use some IQ.
Do not destroy your political career for that incorrigibly incompetent and corrupt attorney general that is Pam Bondi.
My goodness.
It's amazing you have to explain these things that are so bloody obvious to people.
But you do, unfortunately, because anybody that has their fingers on this can be brought down for inherent contempt.
That's just one remedy.
Down the road, it can be referral for criminal prosecution.
And this is the Sandy Berger precedent.
Sandy Berger went in and tried to doctor and remove documents from the National Security Archives, even though he was a federal Justice Department official at the time.
Why is it that he was criminally prosecuted?
Remember that law about whether Nancy Pelosi tearing that up?
It's that same law.
And it's clear it applies to the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
So it's basically a form of obstruction of justice.
By not complying with the law, by redacting things, by covering them up in any way, shape, or form, by altering those documents from their original form.
Pam Bondi can now be criminally prosecuted, criminally punished, and serve five years in federal prison.
Todd Blanche, the same.
To be frank, if they don't fix this fast, it's where they're going.
The only question is how long it takes to take them there.
Otherwise, they better pray to God that JD Vance wins the presidency in 2028, assuming he runs, because otherwise that's exactly where they're headed.
But they're so clueless, they don't understand this.
Pam Bonnie's back and forth, you know, waiting for a next sorority prosecutor press conference on some low-level case somewhere in Florida or somewhere else, and doesn't understand this.
Todd Blanch is an arrogant prick who grew up in the Solvern District of New York, a lifelong Democrat who loves the people at CNN, who cashed in with Donald Trump when he saw an opportunity, has never been real MAGA in his life.
Along with, I mean, Stanley Wood, there's the Stanley, what's his name is number three.
He appears to be implicated in this because he's too dumb to stay out of this.
So all these people are in serious trouble.
They've made it.
And what they've done is they've undermined the president of the United States.
They've made the president vulnerable and susceptible to impeachment and future indictment himself because of this.
This was an easy thing to do.
This was a no-brainer thing to do.
And they can't even do that.
Do you think there's any chance that Todd Blanche is deliberately trying to sabotage Trump, or is it just incompetence and haughtiness?
Now, this is who I think the real source of the problem is.
So if you are the deep state or the whatever you want to call them, the national security establishment, military industrial complex, use whatever language you want.
I call it the deep state because it references a doctrine that started as the dual state by very prominent conservative, relatively speaking, English, The Economist, one of the publishers of The Economist was one of the people who did it, one of the editorial writers, at least, which was to explain how you could have an administrative state of government that is immune from the public pressure, from popular will, from elections.
And they said, really, there's a dual state.
There's the elected officials, and then there's the unelected officials.
And they often keep doing whatever they want, regardless of what the elected officials want or the people want.
And this dual state, when it has the power of military, when it has the power of national security, when it has the power of intelligence, when it has the power of law enforcement, it becomes a deep state, both because it's a little shadowy, both and because it is literally entrenched at the most important and impactful positions of power inside the United States federal government.
First term by Peter Dale Scott in 1969, coming from the left, but adopted by the right in the last decade or so, thanks to what has happened to Donald Trump.
If you're the deep state, you are going to be obsessed with a range of positions of power.
But one of the big ones is going to be FOIA departments.
Remember the Freedom of Information Act department heads at the CIA, at the State Department, at the Pentagon, at the Defense Department, at the FBI, at the Justice Department, in the various U.S. attorneys' offices.
They have a legal right, indeed, a legal obligation to see everything.
So that is an incredible amount of power.
Second, they're the ones obligated to disclose that whenever a request is made.
So if you're the deep state, you want to control who's at those FOIA departments.
You don't want any Bobby Barnes hanging around there.
You don't want any Ed Snowden's are hanging around there.
You don't want any of those people hanging around there because God knows what they're going to do.
You don't need Kyle Seraphins hanging around there or James O'Keefe hanging out.
And you know anybody there who might date James O'Keefe on a date, not knowing who James O'Keefe is?
But the fact they get taken for some of the most obvious states, and remember, because this will relate to James O'Keefe, or even relate right back to Turning Point USA's Amfest.
Who is hijacking the Epstein files?
The FOIA departments at the Justice Department and the FBI.
Phil Kennedy detailed who's in charge there at the FBI, and there's some of the most partisan anti-Trump hacks on the planet.
Now, this implicates Pam Bondi by not firing those people.
It implicates Kash Patel by not firing those people.
In fact, some of these people were promoted by these people, despite their long history of corruption and partisanship and prejudice.
So here's what I think happened.
And people can go back and watch.
I'm not just coming up with this now.
I talked about somebody within the governmental apparatus doing this all the way back in an interview with Vigilant Fox and another one with George Gammon and about the Epstein files.
I said, I think somebody in the government confused and deceived Todd Blanch, Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, and Kash Patel into thinking that the files are all littered with just Donald Trump's name and all littered with Donald Trump.
And we're yet to see anything really negative at all about Trump and all of these disclosures, even from the Democratic Party disclosures.
It's stuff we all knew.
It's stuff about how obsessed Epstein was with him, trying to blackmail him, trying to extort him.
Why is he trying to extort him after the fact if he had actual blackmail material on him, right?
So it's obvious that none that we had said all along that Trump was not negatively or adversely referenced in the Epstein files if they were honestly reviewed and disclosed.
And so what I think they did is I think the FOIA department people misled because Pam Bondi is notoriously lazy, by the way.
Todd Blanche isn't exactly known for his work ethic either.
Kash Patel has proven to be too busy and too distracted.
And Dan Bongino is too busy trying to figure out how the heck to get out of there.
Where's the exit ramp on this thing?
So I think what it is, I think they fooled them into believing it only negatively impacted Trump.
So they went and convinced Trump it only negatively impacted him.
So Trump thought, oh my goodness, they rushigated the files to suppress all this nonsense.
I don't want to go through another Russiagate.
Now is Epstein.
And they succored him.
And by doing that, they took evidence that exonerated him and incriminated his enemies, and he incriminated himself and exonerated his enemies.
I think they are the real source of the Epstein file cover-up.
That's not a bad theory, Robert.
I'm going to bring this one up just because I want to know if the internet has figured it out yet.
Keith Edwards, who's a notorious propagandist and a bad faith one at that, put this tweet out.
This is allegedly one of the photographs that the DOJ removed after having published it.
Allegedly, I don't know that it is.
People are saying that's Ivanka Trump.
They're going by this O2 here to suggest this is from 2002.
And then in the immediate following post, he says, this is not Ivanka.
Here's how young Trump was when Ivanka was this age.
Now, I don't know how he knows the age of this girl, but this girl looks to be at least five years older than this girl.
And it really looks like it's the same girl, just a little bit older.
And Trump doesn't look that much older, except for, you know, maybe a better lighting or whatever.
And I'm trying to get to the bottom of this photograph to see if it is, in fact, another example, the third such example, where they have redacted to make it look nefarious, an otherwise innocuous picture.
But if the internet knows, let me know.
I mean, I think I tweeted that out, or at least I'm going to, but they've done this now three times.
Yeah, it's brilliant deep state corruption.
How do you cover for one of the worst deep state scandals in history?
You convince the president who could expose you that he's the one exposed.
And by trying to cover it up, damages himself and exonerates them.
I mean, it's one of the, and I think it's all the FOIA department people at the FBI and the Justice Department who have coordinated this.
And it classically fits who they are.
But it's still on Bondi for not firing these people, for Blanche for not figuring this out, on Kash Patel for not paying attention, on Dan Bongino for letting these people get promoted without saying at least something more publicly about it.
I mean, we'll find out.
Maybe he has something to say more when he goes back to his podcast in January.
He will be bound by an NDA, right?
He will not be able to screw it up.
See, here's the thing.
The First Amendment limits when the government can impose an NDA.
Remember, Trump had tried to sign, have a bunch of people signed NDAs.
Remember, the bunch of assistants who went and they wrote books?
And the court said, no, you can't enforce that, Trump, because you cannot have prior restraint on speech.
So the only, this is like the Steve Friend case where Kash Patel violated his First Amendment rights.
I was debating these idiot FBI, former ex-FBI guys online about, they're like, no, you understand.
We have a little manual here and our little manual here says, but your manual don't count, bro.
Constitution here, manual way down there.
And so the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from prior restraint of your speech.
And NDA is prior restraint on your speech.
So the only NDAs that are allowed is for national security information, for classified information, for information that would interfere and interrupt so fundamentally with the government's capacity to function that they have no choice but to repress it and suppress it.
Most of that will not be covered.
Now, we have probably different opinions on this.
I don't think Kash Patel has the cojones because I think they stole him at the FBI.
I think they're keeping him, keeping him in a little, you know, you mean Bongino now.
Bongino, yeah.
Yeah, Cash just born pussy.
But the, I don't think he ever had cojones to be here.
But the, but, you know, the, I, but Bongino can absolutely talk because the First Amendment fully protects him.
What he couldn't say is, oh, here's a national security information about an informant in Iran that we were, that's the kind of thing he can't disclose.
This kind of stuff he can absolutely talk about.
I mean, heck, Susie Wilde is out yipping to everybody, including Vanity Fair, about all everything that's happening.
So the, and her group of genius.
Apparently, she didn't like something Richard Barris said because she long followed Richard Barris and she unfollowed Richard Barris this past week.
People don't like it when Barris is honest, but that's what you get with a guy who cares more about the people he polls than the politicians who want to pay for those polls.
Or try to manipulate the outcome of it.
So, yeah, so he absolutely could talk.
He absolutely could talk.
So, the very limited what they can restrain.
I mean, Kash Patel's going to figure that out when we sue him and the FBI on behalf of Steve Friend, which I think is going to happen because of the breach of the settlement agreement, but also First Amendment violations that are rather obvious.
And they don't, it's amazing.
Like, how does Cash Pette?
Now, I know Kash Patel finished near the bottom of his law school class and he went to a mediocre law school class.
Nobody knew him as a brilliant lawyer to begin with.
But I mean, this is like 101.
This is First Amendment 101.
You can't try to restrain people's speech in this manner.
But it appears that, so Bongino would not be so restrained.
Now, I think he will say that as his excuse for not talking about it.
Now, there's two interpretations of that.
My interpretation is more negative.
Others' interpretations might be: look, he doesn't want to cause a bunch of problems for the existing administration.
He just wants to move on and do what he can and contribute in his own way.
His wife has certain health issues that he wants to be there for, that he couldn't be there for.
And that's the sort of a more gentle, generous interpretation than mine, which is that they took away his balls and he's never going to get back.
But Bongino would not be able to speak on either ongoing investigations or files in which he worked.
He won't be able to speak.
Often you can.
It depends on that.
This is how the people, whistleblowers came forward on like the IRS cases, whistleblowers have come forward on January 6th cases on these other cases.
What you can't do is speech in such a way that you substantially, it's very much like the gag order rule.
That's the this is why I understand this law well, aside from doing a lot of First Amendment work over the years.
The is that you have to substantially interfere with the ability of the government to do its job.
Unless you're substantially interfering with the ability of the government to do its job, they can't restrain your speech because that's the strict scrutiny standard that's necessary for the government to be able to restrict your speech.
Otherwise, they could just say, hey, come work for the government.
We get to permanently gag you forever.
And in fact, we'll give you access to cases so that you can never expose the fraud.
That would have been my theory.
That's what they did, by the way.
That with Steve Friend and others, their objective was to try to get them to stay quiet on the pipe bomber case where they're trying to railroad, it appears to me, an innocent man.
Other cases where it appears there's a lot of institutional corruption.
The Epstein files, where there was tons of governmental corruption all the way through, including the Trump administration, unfortunately.
And then Pam Bonnie's excuse was, oh, hey, will victims now come forward and I'll finally investigate Jeffrey Epstein?
She is so politically dumb.
I say, I don't mind stupid.
I don't mind corrupt, but please, God, don't marry them together.
And Pam Bonnie is the personification of what happens when you marry stupidity with criminality.
Robert, let me read a bunch of these chats over here.
Sean 487 says, why hasn't the FBI been closed and Bondi feminist Me Too not been fired?
This is Russia Gate up making this shit, making shit up.
Sad Wings Raging says, Merry Christmas, everyone.
Merry Christmas to you.
Sean 47, Viva.
I remember my sister trying to get her 16-year-old daughter away from a 46-year-old drug dealer in the RCMP.
Said they could do nothing as no laws were violated.
So why is this PETO?
Hold on.
I'll get to this question.
In Canada, that would not be, that would not be illegal unless the person was in a position of authority, like a teacher or a therapist.
I think there's a bit of a, there's an age window that stops after that.
But Sean 487 says, sorry, no underage girl was raped in previous impedo happened.
The age of consent in America is 14 to 16.
No, it's not.
It's 16 to 18.
And I just had to double check.
In many states, it's 18.
So God bless you, Sean, but you might want to update those laws.
It wasn't even.
It wasn't even 14 in 2000.
Canada was 14 in 2000 up until 2005.
They upped it to 16.
So it would, it would be like perverts in Canada.
P. Veggio says, I credit Viva's interview with Larry Sharp for getting Elise Stefanik to drop out of the race.
I noticed that.
And I just now, after when I saw that, said, Are you going to endorse Larry Sharp?
I can't bring it up, King of Bill Tong.
It says, Bill Tong, premium Bill Tong from Biltong USA, high-protein, keto-friendly, no additives, U.S. sourced beef, authentic South African flavor.
Get some now.
Go to Bill Tongusa.com, code Barnes for 10% off.
It's beautiful, delicious, softish beef jerky.
I'll show a picture of it in a second.
Viva, I forgot to mention it yesterday, but you should look at Yoel Romero winning and him winning at Real American Freestyle.
He's 48.
Yeah, he's got like his few surgery of his neck, I think.
He ran through a guy who was against made me feel good as an old guy.
Yeah, well, I talked about Andrew Tate losing his fight.
If people had, I don't, I, you know, whether or not you'd publicize betting against Andrew Tate, because he was like the 83 against Andrew Tate.
I got to it too late.
I did put up the bet that Jake Paul would get the crap kicked out of him.
He broke his jaw in two places.
That's that.
Made money on that.
They made money on Alabama, made money on Miami, and made money on a late rally by James Madison.
So that was good this past weekend.
But man, Jake Paul got his jaw broken live.
Oh, God.
Robert, you imagine like they got to stitch it together.
He's going to be drinking.
He will not be able to eat Bill Tong for at least another ham for Jake Paul.
Smoothie glass.
Oh, yeah.
This is Bill Tong, people.
Get some.
It's delicious.
And thank you very much, Anton.
Robert, hold on.
There was one that that segued into relatively easily.
What do you think about Bongino's exit?
Well, Bongino announced his resignation.
He is retiring or stepping down, however you put it, here in a few weeks in January.
Talk is that he may return to his popular podcast on Rumble.
I asked a very nice, sweethearted question to him.
He's such a jerk.
I just asked him when he leaves.
Often when you leave, you know, you give stuff when you go in sometimes, like your wallet, your paperwork, and whatnot.
I asked him whether the FBI will let him have his balls back.
Something tells me Bongino will not have the same sense of humor you have about that.
My brother, I was joking, texted me and he says, uh-oh, and he sends me the link to your tweet.
Yeah, I look, I think I'm not convinced by it.
It was Mike Davis.
Listen to what Mike Davis had to say about it.
I'm not convinced that this is true, and I'm not convinced that anyone's going to believe it.
Dan Bongino tenders his recognition within the first 10 months on that.
I think Dan got there, I think in February, March.
Yeah, 10 months.
Your thoughts, sir.
I would say cheers to FBI deputy director Dan Bongino.
He's a warrior.
He's a friend.
He went to the FBI for a short stint to bring much needed, bold, serious reforms to the FBI.
He never intended to stay beyond January.
He's told me that privately for many, many, many months.
He left a lot of money on the table to go do this government service.
He's going to go back.
I'll pause.
He's going to go back.
Look, I'm not going to judge.
You know, some people are going to say, what, what reform has been affected at the FBI?
Set that aside.
When you're going to try to spin something, you have to spin it in a way that reasonable cynics are going to buy.
Like, you can't just think everybody's an idiot and nobody's going to ask the legitimate questions.
When was it ever supposed to be a short stint?
You can't make that up after the fact.
Oh, he told me privately.
No, my impression is what it's always been.
Bongino was a peacock that they were not letting fly.
He's had his hands tied behind his back.
They've been making him, you know, not speak his opinion, but speak his employer's talking points, even though he didn't look very comfortable speaking them.
He wants out.
He's being, like you say, neutered or, you know, he's being silenced.
He's being discredited by having to say things that are contrary to what he's been saying for the last three years, which I oddly think are more accurate than what his boss has been compelling him to say.
And he wants out because it's perhaps he now understands it's beyond reform.
It's beyond repair.
And he was right when he said it needed to be utterly dismantled.
And it seems that Patel likes having a workforce of 30,000 adoring followers who are going to eat him alive when they get their chance.
The yeah, I mean, I think that's the sort of generous defense of him.
And I hope you're right for his own sake.
My own view is I think I'm more skeptical.
Several different reasons.
One is you can't talk big and then deliver so weakly because I disagree with Mike Davis.
I mean, Mike Davis is busy helping all his buddies and pals and clients, and he's busy sabotaging the Justice Department on a regular basis, sabotaging the Trump agenda on a regular basis.
He and his buddy Stanley there are doing all kinds of shenanigans to undermine a wide range of populist reforms and initiatives so that they can just line their pockets with Mike's pals and buddies and clients.
So I don't take Mike.
I mean, Mike's become a joke.
He's become like a bad, mean joke.
Justice is coming, everybody.
Justice is coming.
No, it ain't Mike.
Are you going to go apologize to all of America when that turns out to be garbage because of your bad work, Mike, undermining the Justice Department and praising the failures of Kash Patel, Todd Blanche, your buddy Stanley, and the top Pam Bondi, otherwise known as Pam Blondie, Pam Barbie, paper, play Pam, depending on the bit.
And so the about to get held in inherent contempt for the first time by any attorney general in American history.
That's how incompetent she is.
Dear Trump, just because somebody loyal doesn't help when there's too stupid to know how to be loyal to you effectively, competently.
So the, I mean, they have badly damaged Trump utterly unnecessarily based on their bad information and bad intel because they're getting played.
I mean, I think where we agree is that they're all getting played by the bureaucratic insiders and deep state hacks.
And the question is, is it unwittingly and unwillingly, as in the case of Bongino, as you think?
Or is it wittingly and willingly because they care about other priorities instead?
My own view is you can't be, you can't get like the people are playing some of Bongino's clips.
Hey, everybody, you better get your copy and ready, man, because when I come in, I'm going to destroy.
You know, that kind of routine.
And now he looks like a big pussy who got rolled over by the deep state.
So I don't think he'll ever have the same credibility or the perceived authenticity he once did.
I mean, they have, if you're right, what a tragedy.
They destroyed his reputation and legacy in just 10 months.
My own view, I was always a little skeptical.
He was never on Alex Jones or defended Alex Jones during a lot of the last five, six years.
That made me skeptical of Bongino.
He's worth, I don't know, a quarter of a billion dollars now, thanks to the booming Rumble stock.
God bless him.
But I thought he talked a big game and carried a little stick.
And I was hopeful the big game mattered.
I was hopeful that what we'd seen over the last five years was a true transformation from his I Love Israel, God bless Fox News days for the decade or so plus before then.
And I hope you're still right that what happened is he just ran into a wall and didn't know how to deal with this bureaucratic morass.
Personally, I'm still a little skeptical, but I do hope they give him his balls back.
We'll find out in a couple of weeks.
Now, I saw in a chat here, hold on a second, it said, let me stop this here.
Mrs. Pickle said on Kyle podcast today, said Friend has been hospitalized.
They don't know the issue.
It's Steve Baker.
I was just going to bring this up.
I wanted to make sure.
Yeah, Steve Baker.
I'm not.
I'll leave that speculation for now.
But Steve Baker, great reporter, great journalist who broke, I think, the real pipe bomber story, which is that it's not the person being falsely accused.
And that's my biggest criticism, by the way, of Bon Dino, is the Cole case.
That's a case he should have put a stop to or retired, resigned before that case went forward.
Should not have been at that press conference because common sense should tell you Cole was innocent.
And you've been doing really good work.
Oh, yeah.
Really good work.
I think they're railroading an innocent kit.
I'm just deeply bothered by that, independent of any politics.
I think they're railroading an innocent kid.
I find that horrendous for the American Constitution.
But yeah, Steve Baker is the reporter who had a massive heart attack.
Yeah, without, I mean, I want to make sure what is public for now.
He says, pray for my friend Steve Baker.
And he retweeted Joe Hanneman, who said, Please pray for my investigative project partner, Steve Baker.
While you pray for his health and well-being, pray that God wills us to fully expose the evil that pervades the Jan 6 pipe bomb case.
It's bigger than you could know.
So, and I'll, when I get public updates that I can share, I'll do that as well.
Let me do a couple more, Robert, before we get into.
Oh, we've got Georgia election fornication.
Oh, yeah.
I receive.
Are we bringing back the pirates and the buccaneers?
No, forget that.
I want to do.
I was going to say, speaking of, you know, incompetence of authorities, we've got to go to Brown University.
So, this is Robert.
I mean, we've been, I covered this one all week.
If you had asked me, like, never in a million years would I have put together that the shooting of the MIT professor days after the shooting at Brown University were connected by the same alleged shooter as we're being told.
I do, I want to not pat myself on the back, but just show like, what is it called?
It's called discretion is the better part of valor.
That when people were jumping on the guy, I think his name is Mustafa.
It doesn't really matter.
The Palestinian activist, who, unfortunately for him, looked like the shooter.
Unfortunately for him, the university thought it was a good idea instead of answering questions and clarifying, just try to delete his social media profile as though that's going to do anything.
And he was looking like a suspect to many people for quite a few days.
And some people will still believe he's a suspect because they don't believe the official narrative.
The shooter, allegedly a Portuguese national who had some beef with Brown University, who studied there in 2000, allegedly drove up in Florida plates from Miami to shoot up the university that he had a beef with that he went to 20 some odd years ago,
fled because they had allegedly and apparently confirmed by many, disactivated their cameras because they didn't want to comply with FBI to communicate information as relates to illegals for the purposes of enforcement of federal immigration law.
And so they deactivated their cameras so they could not be compelled to provide video evidence to facilitate the deportation of illegal immigrants, allowed the guy to flee.
They only identified who he was because of a homeless person who had an interaction altercation with him earlier on in the day and posted on Reddit that I saw a guy driving Florida plates acting suspiciously.
And they took that, rang it up with some ring camera footage from neighbors, and then found out that the guy who had fled subsequently went on to murder a nuclear physicist professor at MIT, despite the fact that Mayor Smiley came out the day of and said there's no risk to the broader community.
Well, he was deadly wrong.
DEI across the board, you know, a police chief who can barely speak English, deactivating cameras allegedly because they want to help the illegals.
Apparently, activists also asked them to deactivate the cameras so they could protest more vigorously without facing the consequence of the law.
And now an extra person is dead as a result.
What do you make of this?
And can anybody be?
I mean, civilly, I would say, sue university, sue the university, sue the police, sue that president who comes out there and says, you know, all's good and everything's fine.
And we did everything we could.
Sue them.
But other than that, what do you think?
Yeah, it's very difficult to get relief and remedy because generally the sovereign immunity attaches to a wide range of institutions.
Now, Brown University is a private school part of the Ivy League.
So they don't have necessarily the same protection, but often courts go to great length.
And you can imagine trying to sue in the courts in Rhode Island isn't going to get very far.
A court's, you know, unfortunately notorious in the recent era for their political and partisan preferences and prejudices.
So I mean, you know, my grandfather and great uncle were graduates of Brown University back to about a century ago or so.
The Barnes family goes back to Rhode Island before Rhode Island was Rhode Island.
So, you know, it's a state I have some personal fondness and familiarity with.
But, you know, Brown has become like a commie crazy school ever since the early 90s.
A lot of the insane aspects of political correctness as a movement before it morphed into the diversity, equity, inclusion movement commenced at Brown University.
In fact, one of the people discussing it was Adam Taggart of Thoughtful Money.
Thoughtful Money has a lot of really cool, interesting economic podcasts that you can find on YouTube and elsewhere.
And he also was a Brown University attendee and detailed some of these things and found disturbing the political prejudices of the school.
And you have to conclude that the political prejudices of the local police department and the school led to ineffective security that at least was a contributing factor in the death of this young girl.
And are we supposed to pretend it's a coincidence that the guy goes in and he happens to murder a young conservative girl?
I mean, there's only like, that's like one out of the odds of that are something like 3,000 to one.
So there's still aspects of the story I'm not fully buying that we have the full evidence of, but it's embarrassing.
Now, you had, you know, people like Josh Hammer, who's, you know, Mr. Israel first running around accusing everybody of anti-Semitism.
He was out there saying it was this Muslim kid.
That apparently turned out to be utterly false.
So Hammer probably can get sued into oblivion, especially in a liberal jurisdiction like Rhode Island.
Maybe be more careful next time, Joshy Boy, before you run around accusing everybody in favor of your favorite country, Israel.
But, you know, independent of that, I have doubts about how this all unfolded.
And it didn't look good that Kash Patel chose and Katie Miller, Stephen Miller's wife, chose right in the middle of the heat of investigating the case to do a podcast with him and his girlfriend that they're busy suing Kyle Serafin and other people for even talking about.
And it turns out the homeless guy gets the case.
The homeless guy busts the case.
I say, I looks like a joke.
The police are a joke.
Brown is a joke.
All of them are sad, pitiful joke that a young lady is dead because of.
I would say, in fairness to Cash, they pre-recorded that podcast.
But on the one hand, you could wait before publishing it.
And on the second end, it's why you don't do these lover-type MTV podcasts when you're in that position because something's always going to happen and it's not ever going to be a good week to release a stupid podcast.
But and then to take credit for the case as if you had anything to do with it.
You did nothing.
But this is what they're either.
He and Bondi are the two worst at this.
They love to run to the cameras and say, look, another one.
Even when they screwed up.
I mean, he skips grew up with the Charlie Kirk case saying somebody's in custody.
Won't even the right person.
This person was a suspect.
Wasn't a suspect.
I mean, and then blocked Joe Kent from meaningfully investigating it, which is Alex Jones' point to Candace.
He goes, You're serious?
This is what you should be worried about.
Now, all this Egyptian plane, French Legion nonsense.
The, you know, you know, Rando's, I mean, she's going to get trolled into oblivion, but that's a whole other story.
But it's embarrassing that this kind of incompetency and ineptitude.
And I'm still curious: is it such a coincidence that that person ended up being murdered?
Because that's the official story right now.
The fact that one of the very few and one of the leading conservative voices on Brown University campus was murdered when only a few people were murdered is just one big coincidence, according to the official narrative.
I'm still not fully buying on that.
I'm still curious about that.
And if this guy's obsession was the MIT guy that he went and hunted down and murdered later.
Yeah, why risk it?
Why risk it right now?
He kills himself in a storage locker in New Hampshire.
So I say this is where people say, oh, you're going to believe the official narrative.
Slop, even if you believe the official narrative, it's inexcusable.
The guy drives up from, inexcusable, he drives up from Florida, gets away after doing this in Brown, goes over to MIT, kills that guy, and then for whatever the reason takes his own life in a storage locker in New Hampshire.
Even according to the official narrative, it's a joke of law enforcement, a sad, sick, deadly joke.
But I can understand people in this one saying, I don't believe it for a bloody second.
He doesn't look enough like the guy in the video.
And whatever.
But all that's saying.
Or maybe there's some other motive.
Maybe there's some other co-conspiratory.
Maybe one murder is responsible and the other one he's not.
Right?
I mean, you have a, my understanding is the bullets didn't match.
The early reporting is the bullets don't match between the two murder scenes.
That's a problem.
And so I think something's a wall.
But, you know, maybe it's this.
You know, I don't foreclose that possibility, but I definitely don't foreclose the possibility there's another story that's but do we have any confidence that Brown, Rhode Island police, or the FBI will ever out if another story is there?
I have no confidence in any of those institutions at this time.
We got Pasha Moyer who says, why is this on Monday, you may ask?
The stream is not late.
It started precisely when we meant it to.
Jay Ash 62 says, Robert, Viva, could you please mention a board member, Dave Ohio, who has been battling cancer and was just admitted to the hospital.
A family member posted using his VBL account asking for prayers.
We will pray.
I have prayers up for Dave.
Yeah, a very good guy.
Almost ran for the Senate in Ohio some years ago.
You know, good, good guy, great guy, longtime member.
I think his daughter is a young law student who was inspired by a lot of this to go forward in law, which is great.
So yes, good, good.
I hope Dave does well.
My niece is in the hospital, but she's doing okay at the moment.
So just she's probably not tuned in.
Her politics go a little bit different directly.
But she's a sweetheart.
So hopefully she'll be better in time.
And home for Christmas where I'll be back tomorrow.
No, and like, you know, we reach a lot of people.
And so we hear a lot of these stories.
And it just does feel like a lot of people are getting cancer.
A lot of people are getting brain tumors.
And yeah, touchwood, if you don't have your health.
Is it possible that Trump really doesn't care and is simply riding up the next four years because he was denied the presidency in 2020 and is essentially flipping the deep state off by serving out the time?
He's not flipping the deep state off if he's doing their bidding for him.
That's the problem.
And no, I think he's very serious about making changes.
I just think he tactically makes some mistakes in some of the personnel he's chosen and the information he gets.
And he gets very isolated when he's in the White House and he's not out on the campaign trail regularly.
He thinks things that don't turn out to be true.
I mean, I think he saw it this past week.
He was out on the campaign trail and he starts bashing Marjorie Taylor Green and there's no cheers.
And he's probably like, oh, but Susie Wiles told me that was popular.
Surprise, surprise.
That's what happened to him if somebody's so stupid, they do an extensive vanity fair expose.
Oh, we don't have time to talk about that.
But if that, again, I don't mind stupid.
I don't mind corrupt, but the love of God, don't put them together.
And Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche and Kash Patel are proven to be both corrupt and stupid.
The most inexcusable.
Give access, exclusive access to the enemy.
F. Chaton says, for those still having issues, chat issues.
There's a few of us neuro hooked me up with a locals classic.
It works.
Okay.
There you go.
And then Gray 101 says, what are the odds President Trump sticks up the seventh, but for real this time deadline for Ukraine peace deal?
All right.
Well, I guess that's a good segue into Venezuela seizing of, Robert, like this is one where I didn't understand it.
I'm not going to chime in.
I heard your explanation.
Seizing purportedly stolen American oil, but not in the way that I initially thought.
Like, I was like, oh, they seized some American oil tankers, which would have been an act of war.
They didn't quite do that.
What the hell is the seizing of American oil fields by Venezuela about?
Well, and you now even have Senator Mike Lee, who I generally like, not quite.
He wants to bring back pirateering and privateering in the old buccaneers, which is the, what people forget is you had pirates, true pirates, you know, the kind that the great coach passed on some few years ago, Mike Leach, celebrated.
And those were pirates that were sort of populist anarchists outside of the state system, setting up their own democratized form of government on the high seas, if you will, portrayed in films and shows like Black Sails and Johnny Depp popularizing in his own right.
Then you had the privateers or buccaneers, as sometimes we're called.
These were state-licensed pirates.
So they were given a license by the state to go and steal on the high seas.
And there's letters of mark, which are different than that.
That's a form of enforcement of this in the international legal context.
And V will be right back.
He's got to take care of his femme stuff.
I'm being interrupted.
I hide in the room that is least likely to be interrupted in.
All right, keep going, Robert.
I'll have to open a door here.
So the privateers and the buccaneers had a state license to do it.
Letters of mark are a way of enforcing things, but not usually always done in this particular manner.
Senator Mike Lee wants to make it all legal.
And what does he want to make legal?
Basically, it's piracy in the colloquial terminology.
It's stealing other people's stuff off other people's ships, including their ships.
And so what Trump has done is the effect of a boycott or embargo.
It's not real clear because his language is all over the place at times.
Because a full-scale boycott embargo is an act of war and has long been considered an act of war.
If you prevent a country from importing or exporting anything by sea, that is legally an act of war, which is something President Trump does not have the constitutional authority to unilaterally do.
Now they're trying to piggyback off everything as terrorism by calling it narco-terrorism, even though this has nothing to do with that because it's about oil.
God bless this administration, but they can't even keep when they're doing regime change like they did, try to do in Iran, like they're now trying to do in Venezuela, they can't keep their script straight.
They can't keep the same excuses.
It's like the character in the Manchurian camp.
He's like, I got to remember exactly how many communists are in the State Department.
And so his wife, Angela Lansberry, played by Angela Blazberry, gives him the Heinz 57 bottle so that you can remember.
There are 57 known communists in the State Department, as the movie goes on to say.
So it's that kind of sort of all over the place.
So are we declaring an act of war or not?
What's the legal basis?
And then it was like, well, we're not stopping all ships.
We're only stopping sanctioned ships.
But then we started stopping ships that were not sanctioned.
So what was the new excuse?
Well, we're not stopping sanctioned ships.
We're stopping ships that might be carrying sanctioned cargo.
And we got the approval of the, because what is a ship at sea?
Whatever flag they're flying, that's whose laws they're governed by, along with international law, certain UN treaties that we've signed on this.
They don't allow us to be doing what we're doing either.
Constitution doesn't allow a full-scale embargo of declaration of war.
Our international treaties that we ourselves have signed are the highest law of the land other than the Constitution under the Constitution say that you can't take and seize assets in the way that we're doing.
It appears that we're often trying to seize ships and we're even chasing one ship that didn't chose not to be seized out into the high seas, which could have all kinds of issues.
We got Chinese ships issues.
We got Iranian ship issues.
We got Russian ship issues.
By the way, we've sporadically done this over the last 10 years to Iran.
Every time Iran goes and steals two ships of the West, like, okay, you take one of ours, we'll take two of yours.
That's what stopped it from happening with Iran.
Now, so Iran is going to get back into seizing ships again.
Maybe they want that to happen because B.B. Netanyahu's back to the White House saying, please, please, Frahanuka, could you give me another bombing and another war in Iran?
Woo-hoo!
That's what he's coming to do.
And so maybe they want another excuse for that there.
This is all about the oil.
So it seems very sketchy to me.
That's just going around grabbing people's ships, grabbing other countries' ships.
We may end up in a Connecticut conflict with Russia or China and Iran over all this.
I mean, what the heck is going on?
It strikes me as it's all about the, you could see it with Rubio this past week.
He was stumbling with his excuses.
It's like in the back of his head, he had a list.
He was like, why are we going into Venezuela?
Well, it's about the drugs.
Well, no, it's about the oil.
Well, no, it's about them stealing our oil and our property.
Well, no, it's actually because they're connected to Hamas.
Well, no, actually, they're connected to Hezbollah.
Well, no, hold on a second.
They're actually connected to Iran.
Other people say, hey, Barnes, it's about the super secret 2020 manipulation of the election dude's Mark Maddock and Hugo Chavez, who's already dead in Venezuela.
If you buy that, go get your head checked.
That's all garbage.
It always was garbage.
So we'll get to with Georgia.
The real fraud was out in the open for everybody to see, but nobody could see it because they're busy chasing servers, busy German servers and Venezuela software and Chinese paper ballots and all that jazz.
So a lot of this looks very sketchy to me.
Now, apparently, he's doing a press conference today.
And earlier last week, it looked like he was going to announce conflict with Venezuela.
Then I think he pulled back because Tucker outed the whole thing and the House almost voted against him having any authority to do so.
Instead, he gave a quickly rushed speech about how Biden bad, Trump good.
I get it.
That election was last election.
We got to deal with some other ones, but putting that aside, it looked to me like that wasn't the originally planned speech.
And then apparently, right now, probably he's out there doing another press conference in Mar-a-Lago.
But it turns out that it appeared to be originally, maybe we'll go to Venezuela.
And then apparently, then at the very last minute, the story broke.
Oh, we're just going to build big new fancy ships.
Okay.
All right.
By the way, in the world of drone warfare, it's not quite clear how air carriers and battleships are going to work exactly.
You know, that's not, you know, you got these tsunami-inducing nuclear-powered submarines from the Ruskies.
It's not sure how all this plays out in the end, but all right, well, you know, hopefully something good comes of it.
I don't know.
I'm very skeptical of all of what we're doing around Venezuela.
I think its legality is highly dubious.
I think the president is setting himself up for more impeachable claims.
The American people have consistently opposed us getting involved in any war anywhere at this moment, including Venezuela.
There is no huge appetite.
Oh, we can't wait to go down to Caracas.
I mean, as we'll get into later with the Somalis, the most likely outcome of any true destabilization in Venezuela is not going to be a sudden surge in oil productivity because that's going to take a decade plus to fix all the problems down there in the Venice, because one of the nature of the oil, but also because of the damage that's been done by the Maduro and Hugo Chavez regimes to their productive capacity for oil exports.
But the other big likely impact would be a rush of immigrants into the United States from Venezuela.
I mean, people are like, man, I really am mad about all this Somali fraud that's going on everywhere.
Well, what you should be mad at is every single president, including our own right now, who's busy bombing Somalia as we speak, being involved in that stupid war in Somalia that we started all the way back to Poppy Bush.
That's why we have all the I love Somalis, as Alex Jones would sing about in the U.S., stealing more of our assets because they're here because of our stupid wars all the time.
We want another stupid war in Venezuela to put that corrupt hack, Machado.
Credit to Julian Assange.
He added all of it.
He pointed out that the Nobel Peace Committees violated the very trust documents itself of Mr. Nobel himself by giving a Nobel Peace Prize to a warmonger who is using that very peace prize and the proceeds from that peace prize, money, to help facilitate overthrowing another government and encouraging war.
How do you give a peace prize to someone promoting war?
Well, probably the same way you gave it to Barack Hussein Obama in the first place.
But, you know, credit to Julian Assange back off the back in the game, you might say, brought a very creative, smart legal challenge.
But everything about Venezuela screams trouble.
I get Mike Lee wanting to do these letters of mark and all that.
Do we really want to go back to the world of piracy and buccaneering?
If so, you know, maybe that's a backup career for me.
Well, I wouldn't mind being a little pirate out in the open seas.
In the modern era, I don't think that's the best idea.
I could not imagine anything more.
What's the word?
Whether the opposite of claustrophobic is being stuck on a ship at sea.
Yeah, that would be terrifying for me.
Yeah, I appreciate all of that.
What do you think the end goal is?
Is it about resources?
Is it about regime change?
Is it about looking strong and trying to please what he thinks the expectations of the base are as compared to what the expectations of the base actually are?
Well, I don't remember him ever talking about Venezuela during the campaign.
Nope.
He can't have any illusion or delusion.
This is a Marco, this is a Narco Marco special.
Remember, everybody, I call him Narco Marco because his family came from working-class roots, but became very wealthy and successful after getting into the cocaine trade.
That's right.
His sister married one of the cocaine cowboys, after which there are not one, not two, but three documentaries make.
That is the history of Narco Marco.
So, pardon my skepticism if I don't think opposition to drugs is the driving cause of a man who got his political prominence and access through drug dealing in the first place of the family.
But so I think it's all about Narco Marco.
Sweet talking Trump that he can be a Makismo hero by freeing the people of Venezuela and just coincidentally freeing the people of Cuba too.
Because guess who this embargo mostly impacts?
Not Venezuela, Cuba, where a lot of this oil is often going.
Now, that's going to depend on them keeping Russia from not sending their oil in.
And you notice there was a Russian ship that went in.
I was like, watch, Trump's not dumb enough to try to seize a Russian ship.
He did not.
He did not try to seize a Russian ship.
We've seized some Chinese ships.
We've seen some Iranian ships.
We've seized some Panamanian ships.
But luckily, praise God, Trump is not crazy enough like all the lunatics in Europe.
As Victor Orban said this week, Hitler couldn't beat Russia.
Napoleon couldn't beat Russia.
But apparently, Collis and Vanderkrazy think they're going to beat Russia.
Does anybody look at these people and say, oh, they remind me of Napoleon?
I don't think so.
So we'll see how all that goes.
But I think it's all about Cuba and Venezuela, primarily Cuba.
Marco wants to free Cuba back so the Cuban, so his family legacy can be vindicated and take back over the little island.
But they're doing it in a way that has high escalatory risk that's tough to get out of, that doesn't have easily achievable ends.
Vice President Vance assured us all we wouldn't do conflicts that don't have easily achievable ends.
Credit to Tulsi Gabbard, who was also at MFest this past week.
Oh, I forgot to mention the James O'Keefe reference into redaction.
Going to my FOIA conspiracy, remember they redacted all of the files that James O'Keefe asked for.
They wouldn't let him know what was going on.
James O'Keefe raised that this week and they said, Hey, why don't you talk to Kash Patel?
So he called him from the conference and cash in it right the voicemail, of course.
Because when it comes to cash, cash is counterfeit when it comes to truth about justice and MAGA.
So I'm skeptical of all this, but we'll see how it works out.
Let's do a couple more chats before we get into the next subject.
It says James W. Houston wrote a book about Congress issuing a letter of marquee, Marquette, to a carrier battle group called Balance of Power in 1998.
Okay, I have no knowledge of that.
And now, hold on.
In our locals community, before we get to Georgia, because people want to know about that and I've got questions, Pasha says, Viva, I think you missed.
Hold on here.
I think you missed the pictures.
Oh, I saw them.
That's me and Barnes.
Barnes, you're looking good there.
I think you should grow your hair.
Well, you should grow long hair, but maybe not.
With all this talk about piracy coming back, anyone got the South Park episode where Cartman becomes a pirate in their head, says Red Sox 1983.
And then Chaton says, for those who forgot or never knew, maybe it got memory hold.
This is DJT's second attempt to overthrow Maduro.
It wasn't drugs the first time.
The drug narrative is bullshit, in my opinion.
Same goal, new clothes.
Remember, you had Elliot Abrams of regime change operation in charge.
And we tried to pretend that Juan Guido or whatever was the real president.
Remember, I'm the State of the Union.
Look at this fake president.
We're going to pretend he's the real president.
It's been a constant area of embarrassment.
So I don't understand why he keeps getting himself entrapped in it.
But, you know, with Trump, you get the good, the bad, and the otherwise.
If John Gerbald the son is Elvis Presley's great grandson, does that make Vincent Vega a cousin three times removed to King Creel?
Howard the Duke?
I understood two words of that.
All right.
Things that need clarification, Robert.
The Georgia confirmed election fraud because that's what it is.
And YouTube can go suck a lemon.
I entitled my highlight from yesterday, fraud confirmed, because whether or not the weaseling out explanation for the illegal certification of over 315,000 early in-person voting, whether or not the ballots themselves were proper, it was an illegal, unlawful certification, which did not respect the chain of custody rules in terms of poll workers signing off on having properly counted these ballots.
The argument is, and I don't want to bastardize it, that there were 315 plus thousand early in-person votes that were cast.
They counted these ballots and they did, you know, whatever was legally required.
They were not illegal or fraudulent ballots, but the tape that certifies the results that attributes those votes to certain polling stations were not signed off on by.
I'm going to let you keep explaining.
I got to go check the door real quick.
Okay, go.
I'll do it real quick, but that the chain of command certifications that attributed the votes to a specific polling station was not done properly, didn't have the requisite signatures, and therefore violated the law.
Now, my questions to Robert when he gets back are going to be violating of a rule or violating of a statute, violating of law.
What could be the consequences of not having had the proper chain of custody?
And whether or not this is a sign of deeper problems within the Georgia 2020 election, which we all know that it is.
But until Barnes gets back, because I can't answer my own questions, these are the same ones I asked yesterday.
I can go to vivabarneslaw.locals.com and see what's going on.
When I put this up, I get such a blast of light.
It's like, what time is it?
That's 4.43.
So I guess it's normal that it should be pitch black in Canada.
Let's see here.
We got right again.
We were, says F. Charton, pirate Pam Bonte.
Then we've got a meme.
You keep using that word transparent.
I do not think it means what you think it means.
All right, Robert, I was doing some memes in there.
So, Robert, the argument is that they didn't break any laws.
They just broke a rule.
The argument was that the ballots were themselves lawful.
They were just not certified properly.
This is objective, whether you like it or not, fraud that they've only now admitted five years later after an activist, as they call them, FOIA for the requested information and took it to court where they had no contestation.
And I think we helped inspire those folks because we were the ones to highlight, by the way, you can use FOIA and the Open Records Act and the Sunshine Laws under various state analogous provisions to get these records, to get these files, go get them.
And it looks like we helped inspire a lot of people.
And thanks to those people for keeping up the fight five years in.
Remember, I talked to some of them at the early stages of the case and love what they're doing.
So two things with this.
One is this is the common excuse.
This is a Pfizer excuse, right?
Which is when you have, how do you know whether something's, in the case of a drug, safe and effective?
How do you know in the case of an election whether it is being honestly conducted by and accurately counting the ballots of qualified voters?
You have to institute a bunch of prophylactic rules because it's going to be very difficult to prove every single aspect of knowing whether that person really counted, cast that ballot, whether they really counted that ballot, whether they properly signed the ballot, all of those things.
You know, to prove the inner fraud is very, very hard.
So you come up with these various rules that are meant to be prophylactic methods of enforcing and prohibiting fraud.
So in the case of Pfizer, for example, you have all these rules to be able to say, well, if you do all of these things, then we have confidence that the data that comes out of that is evidence of its safety and efficacy.
They violated all the rules, but they're like, ah, so what?
They're just little technical rules like, you know, Garrett Archer there in Arizona.
Oh, these are just technical rules.
These are just technical violations.
That's like saying, oh, violating the Constitution is just, you know, that's a technical rule.
That's a little technical violation.
So for those that have forgotten, the presidential election is controlled by the Constitution.
The Constitution gives exclusive authority to the legislature of each state to assign the rules to govern that election.
Not to the governor, not to the state judges, not to the Congress, not when it comes to the presidency.
The presidency, the rules are exclusively set by the legislature of each state.
So the question in Georgia, like it was in Arizona, like it was in Wisconsin, like it was in Pennsylvania, like it was in Michigan in 2020, was did the was the election conducted in those states consistent with the rules set by the legislature of those states for who could vote,
for how they could vote, and for the counting and canvassing of the votes in order to make sure it was a constitutionally qualified election for the presidency of the United States.
The reality in Georgia, which was detailed in the recount and detailed again in the election contest filed by the president, that was so compelling and so damning of the state of Georgia that they went to great lengths to prohibit a hearing from ever occurring in that case.
And so the, and what we detailed was that constitutionally unqualified people voted.
People who were dead voted.
People who were felons voted.
People who were too young to vote voted.
People voted from places they were not legally qualified to vote.
People voted when they voted in other states or other counties or multiple times to vote.
That was problem one.
Problem two was the signatures on the mail-in ballots did not match.
So how they vote to the signatures on file or from their driver's license records.
And that is an unqualified ballot in terms of how it was cast.
So you had unqualified ballots because of who voted.
You had unqualified ballots because of how they voted.
And last but assuredly not least was, and this goes to the third category, you had unconstitutional, unqualified, constitutionally unqualified methods of how the votes were canvassed and counted.
This was the poll workers making sure all the rules had been complied with, that the chain of custody for the ballots was correct.
Because what you want is you don't want, you know, let's say a person gives the ballot to the person at the, or puts it in the ballot box, but then somebody later on takes that ballot out of the ballot box and substitutes it with someone else, right?
Or you know that the ballot box is the actual ballot box from the vote, not some other substitute ballot box, right?
This is the chain of custody of ballots.
This is why they're supposed to carefully manage what ballots get published and printed and the number of them and how they're accounted for along the way.
Turned out that didn't happen in Georgia either.
Turned out there were a bunch of ballots that were printed that showed up at the last minute that have never been fully accounted for.
And so they could sit there and fill them out themselves.
As I was telling Brad Ratberger of the Georgia Secretary of State, he was saying, oh, this election was wonderful and great.
Still repeating that lie.
When he took those big fat checks from Dominion in Georgia prior to the 2020 election, he said, what's wonderful about Dominion is we can now print and publish every single ballot to the world.
He is yet to publish any ballot after lying for seven years in a row.
Why?
Because if you look at those ballots, are you going to see something that looks like somebody filled it out that wasn't the person that said they filled it out?
Is it going to look like maybe it was a computer automated ballot?
It's going to look like it was a replaced ballot.
I mean, there's something funny there because he's terrified of showing these ballots to the world.
So what they had to admit this week was the people who were supposed to make sure that the rules were followed, who's to sign the certification, the rules were followed, never even signed the certification to say the rules were ever followed in the first place.
I'm trying to pull something up so that I don't make a mistake, but everybody did the same trick back, Robert, when you were rightly calling out Ratface Burger.
And they said, well, they did a recount.
They recounted the same ballots, which were questionable ballots in the first place.
They never did a signature verification between the voter roll and the ballot.
That's correct?
That's correct.
And when they did the recount, they wouldn't let anybody see the ballots.
They said they had to stand way far away.
So it was a joke of a recount, which they really told Trump he couldn't do the recount.
I was the one who came in and said, yes, you can, Mr. President, and force him to do one.
But then they did him in a way that contradicted the rules.
And then when they said they did something, they're supposed to sign under certification under personal penalty of perjury that they did it.
For some reason, all these poll workers weren't really eager to do that.
But according to Garrett Archer, nothing to see here, just a technical violation, everybody.
That's like saying, hey, look, you know, your heart now is flat and you're dead.
But it's just probably a technical violation of the heart machine.
What's amazing is they admitted, oh, we're going to implement proper training, make sure it doesn't happen again, after having insisted that it was unquestionably kosher, the 2020 elections, when it was unquestionably corrupt and fraudulent.
All right.
No doubt about it.
That's fraud.
We got a judge convicted.
And one of the true, you know, next week we'll have our best cases of 2025 and the best cases to come of 2026 and sort of a annual New Year's Eve almost, a special New Year's edition show.
But one of those shows that I, one of the cases I think will make the best of 2025 is that corrupt fat hack, the lawyer judge, getting convicted for obstructing ICE in the courthouse.
I'm going to give credit in two places here.
that they actually convicted her and that it happened so quickly.
Like this just happened, I don't know, a few months ago, the Judge Dugan, the judge who snuck out an illegal alien out of the back door of the witness room of her courtroom so that he could evade federal agents who were there to arrest him at a hearing in front of this judge.
She knew that they were there to try to get this guy to deport him.
She rushed through his hearing that she was the judge on.
And this was the evidence that was adduced at court that I learned for the first time, you know, catching up on this case.
They adduced as evidence the audio recording from the courtroom where she said, go out through the back, I'll take the heat, verbatim or, you know, quoting it like that.
Like, come out through the back, I'll take the heat.
And she tried to actively sneak Aiden Bett, illegal, I don't know, obstruction of federal agents from enforcing the law.
Arrested, brought to trial and convicted.
And it's a felony.
She could serve up to five years and she's a judge.
It's amazing.
I just, I'm surprised it happened.
And I'm certainly shocked that it happened this quickly.
I would have expected this to be drawn out for years.
I don't know what more to say about it other than the fact that it's, you know, freedom to fuck around, freedom to find out.
And she just found out.
The only question is, are they going to give her a slap on the wrist for the conviction?
And does she get removed from the bench for a felony conviction?
She's already been suspended from the bench and I don't see her being reinstated to the bench.
She's likely to lose her law license, but not a guarantee in the state of Wisconsin.
I know some of the folks that are up there and they're a mixed bag, to put it kindly, in terms of the state bar or the board of bar examiners are there in Wisconsin.
I've gotten a few little back and forth with them over time.
But hopefully so, that her law license, you know, she shouldn't be licensed to practice law, though I don't agree with the idea of licensure in the first place.
If we're going to have licensure, make sure these corrupt hacks who are busy abusing their power to break the law aren't done it.
Remember all people said she would be, she would easily walk.
Well, where are those?
This was a Milwaukee Democratic jury that convicted her.
So our Milwaukee area.
There's some conservatives in the outlier counties, but usually it's a Milwaukee-driven jury pool.
But she got acquitted because they said she didn't really conceal him because she's just let him out the back door.
And that's not quite concealment.
That's the misdemeanor count.
But they said she's guilty of the felony obstruction because he directly interfered and impaired with the ability of the ICE agents to arrest him.
So, you know, good precedent set, says the right kind of message, said the time she needed to be indicted, said the time she needed to be prosecuted.
Good job by the prosecutors there in the Eastern District of Wisconsin to get this done.
So, you know, I know a good number of those folks up there.
So this was one of the good achievements and successes of the Trump administration.
And hopefully it translates into further action, like in the impeachment of Judge Boseberg.
On the Barnes brief this week, we went into the constitutional history of the meaning and interpretation and application of the language in the text of impeachment.
And if you read the history of the impeachment of Justice Samuel Chase by our founders, then you understand how much it is even more applicable to the impeachment of Judge Boesberg.
But of course, guys like Tel Aviv Ted, who was calling for Judge Boseberg's impeachment, is too busy figuring out what BB's next war is that he needs to attend to.
But it'd be nice if members of Congress or Senate could get around to delivering for the Judge Bozbergs of the world, the justice that was just delivered to this corrupt rogue state court judge.
But an excellent precedent that it sets, that judges are also not above the law.
Robert, do we do?
Let's do one more before we head over to Viva Barnes for the after party.
Do we do we've got uh Maryland reparations?
We've got Luigi.
We've got uh immigration.
We got first well, first amendment cases we covered, but we got first amendment anti-semitism cases.
We got the I love my somalis fraud.
We got other child abuse grant fraud going on in Minnesota.
We've got don't take your kid to Walmart.
Are they going to let the perverts harass your little uh your children, sexually assault your children?
Uh, we've got baby shark trying to track down how the heck do you serve a company in China.
Uh, so the uh, and then one little bonus add-on topic, uh, or two other ones.
One, you know, people asked what the update is on Tina Peters, and we also have what exactly are these tax cuts?
Uh, Mike Johnson saying we're gonna get these huge refunds.
Is he right, or is he once again, unfortunately, lying?
Okay, let's do that one right now, and then we'll do the two Minnesota cases.
Then we're gonna head over to Viva Barnes Law for the other remaining cases.
Vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
You've all got the link.
The last one that you just mentioned, the tax break, I know nothing about what's up with that.
So, this was from the one big beautiful bill.
And so, even JD Vance's end up, you know, and Trump himself have been caught saying things, you know, the Trump lately.
But Mike Johnson put out a tweet or ex-post where he said there's no more tax on tips.
There's no more tax on overtime.
There's no more tax on Social Security and seniors.
And everybody's going to get about $10,000 in cash coming soon.
It's all lies because what Trump wanted was for those things to happen, but it didn't happen thanks to Mike Johnson and especially the rogue actors in the Senate.
They gutted the House, the tax cuts on tips.
So all the payroll taxes on tips, still there.
Most of the income taxes on tips, still there.
Because they said if you didn't make enough, you got excluded.
If you made too much, you got excluded.
You know, it was like Goldilocks and the three bears.
You know, everything was too hot or too cold.
So they did the same thing with overtime.
They did the same thing with seniors.
They didn't even make it a social security-driven tax cut.
So here's an only 3% of Americans will get any tax cut on tips.
Only 10% of Americans will get any tax cut on overtime.
And fewer than 25% of seniors will see any tax cut at all in terms of the tax cut for seniors.
And the average benefit that the average household will get, many households will receive no benefit at all.
But the average benefit in terms of actual tax cuts, I mean, they did stop tax increases that were going to come.
And that's great, but that's not things people are going to see in their pockets this year in an obvious way.
It's always been an issue.
You know, if you're a really good lawyer, a really good doctor, you prevent illness, you prevent a lawsuit.
Nobody ever appreciates that the way they do if you fix or heal them when they're hurt or sick, just the nature of the animal.
But because they watered down and diluted, like one way you can do a tax cut, or like a true no tax on tips, was to say tips are no longer taxable, period.
And any tax that was ever paid on tips is fully not only a credit deduction, but is a credit, is a refundable credit.
The problem with not making it a refundable credit is that basically you have to wait until you file your tax returns.
Then you have to see whether you owe any tax.
And then if you owe any tax, it depends on how much money you made and how much money from tips you made, whether you get any tax deduction off your liability, if you still have any, on the income tax side.
They could have made this applicable to payroll tax.
They chose not to.
They could have made it a refundable credit.
They chose not to.
They could have made it no income limits on who could take it.
They chose not to.
They could have said it wouldn't be just capped at, say, $25,000 on tips, tipped income, but they chose not to.
So all they did is, and because they did such a low cap on how much money you could make on tips and at the same time made it so that it was not a refundable credit, meant that almost nobody who pays taxes on tips is going to, everybody who pays tax on tips for the most part is still going to be paying taxes on tips because of what the House and the Senate did.
And apparently, Trump and Vance still don't even understand this.
Besson still doesn't understand this.
And Mike Johnson is out gaslighting everybody.
And the problem with gaslighting everybody is what happens when they get their paycheck next February and it still has all the taxes in it.
They're going to be like, what?
And they're going to think, oh, they must have lied to me again.
And because they diluted one of the best working class aspects of the tax cuts with all of these Senate shenanigans, and now they're compounding it by gaslighting voters, they're setting everybody up for failure, unfortunately, come 2026.
All right.
Well, from your mouth to their ears, Robert.
And speaking of setting up for failure, the Minnesota, the Somali, it's predominantly Somali fraud ring in Minnesota, which has now been estimated.
I think I might have made a bit of a mistake where I said it was the fraud exceeds the GDP of the country of Somalia itself.
It's pretty damn close.
I was sort of waiting for a community to know, no, it doesn't exceed it.
The fraud is between 9 and 11 billion.
The GDP of Somalia is between 11 and 14 billion.
We're talking in like the double-digit billions of dollars of Somali fraud rings, welfare fraud, healthcare fraud.
And when I look at the amount of remittances that comprise the economy of Somalia, you realize that a significant portion of the GDP, the Somalian economy, is funded off stolen, fraudulently appropriated American taxpayer dollars.
It's been going on for a long time.
There was not rumors, stories, confirmed stories of whistleblowers who got shot down by Tim Walz.
We would have never known about any of this had Tim Walz won the election and become the vice president.
And it's systemic criminal fraud that doesn't just involve Somalis, but occurs now predominantly within the Somalian community with a fair share of non-Somalians taking their cut.
Robert, it's like beyond the budget of the correction system of Minnesota.
It's state crippling.
And you got that stupid jackass Tim Walz coming out and saying, well, a lot of white people need to go to jail for crimes that they've committed as well.
Just like, you know, deny, deny, deny.
What's your take on it?
And what's going to happen?
Are people going to go to jail over this?
I mean, they're already starting to go to jail, but sorry.
You know, Wallace making a race bait, race base, because it's like, yeah, Ukrainians also steal a bunch of money that Wilson and Democrats have done that probably even the Somalis can't compare and compete with Ukrainian fraud.
That is real fraud.
Fred Hume is busy out there running cover for the Ukrainians, lying all the time about that conflict.
It's just incredible.
He's like, Ukrainians want an honest peace, but the Russians won't even talk when it's literally just the opposite.
Ukrainians keep sabotaging peace while Russians generously keep giving more and more opportunities for President Trump to try to get a possible deal done by being exceedingly generous in their discussions.
But it's a systemic immigrant-driven fraud that they get here and their goal.
This has happened throughout large parts of Europe too.
And it's happened, whether you're Ukrainian, whether you're Somali, whether you're other, you know, from other places.
It's like the lottery was a Nigerian lottery scams.
A lot of their industry became how to scam the West.
And with the Somalis, it's been immigration fraud, then compounded by Medicare and Medicaid fraud, then compounded by welfare fraud, then compounded by every other, by 2020, COVID fraud, by every other kind of fraud they could cook up.
Now, in the defense of the Somalis, we wouldn't have been stuck with all of this Somali fraud if we would simply have stayed out of the country and not invaded, invaded, invaded, invaded, and bombed and bombed and bombed and bombed.
Which President Trump is busy bombing them like 16 times in the last week.
How is this going to solve the Somali fraud problem?
Let the Somalis deal with the problem of Somalia.
Send them all back and let them solve it down there.
And could we please just stop intervening and bombing everybody?
For the love of God, for Christmas, please, please.
Less bombing, less war.
All I want for Christmas is no more war.
So that would be the ultimate solution to all of this scamming.
People are getting arrested.
People are going to go.
It's massive.
And it should be the end of Tim Walz.
And it should help Mike Lindell.
How do you feel about Mike Lindell running for governor of Minnesota?
Oh, you know, give him the best of luck to it.
I like Royce White.
I like Mike Lindell, Royce running for the Senate.
I think as long as you've got the Twin Cities as 55 to 60% of the vote, we include the suburbs.
Gonna be very hard for a Republican to break through in Minnesota anytime super soon.
Now, if you deported them all, then have that, probably should deport some Swedes while we're up there too.
The Norwegians, good.
The Swedes, not so much.
I think about one out of three Swedes we got to send back to Sweden.
Now, that was one element of the fraud in Minnesota.
The other element of the fraud is very interesting was what was the institution?
It had a funny name.
It was a hospital where this doctor got fired for blowing the whistle on the overdiagnosis of child abuse so that they could, I don't know, if it's a funding issue, if it's a prestige issue.
It was money.
And so they were overdiagnosing cases of child abuse.
Kids come in with head injuries or whatever and reflexively call it child abuse.
Take the kids away from their parents, put them in foster homes.
You know, that whole corrupt system itself will grease its own wheels.
This doctor, in one specific case where a kid comes in, no bruising, no visible signs of abuse, some, I don't want to say contusions, but some swelling of the brain.
There was some fluid in the brain, but no, no signs of abuse at all.
Two of the three doctors say abuse, take him away from the parents, stick him in foster care.
This doctor says, I don't think it was.
They suppress his voice.
He then ultimately gets fired for arguing that they're overdiagnosing child abuse because it creates its own ecosystem and corrupt business, for lack of a better word.
And he's suing.
Where has it gotten?
I mean, that's where it's at right now.
That's where it's at.
But it's something that some of us have been talking about for a while, that there's systemic, aside from the bureaucratic incentivization, aside from the, and how it perverse, you know, perverts incentives, distorts incentives, and just the nature of bureaucracy, who's getting hired, the ideology they believe in.
The various child protective service rackets are just that rackets.
They target religious conservatives who are trying to adopt somebody who don't want to deal with trans issues and don't want to get into all that idolatry and ideology.
So those parents and religious groups they were trying to adopt have been under constant continuous attack.
While at the same time, I mean, let's say you're a little lawyer from a small town in central Minnesota, and maybe occasionally like back in the day, you liked to dance to the Bolivian marching band.
There were more than a few people that did that.
And all of a sudden they come in and the people that are politically after you, the judge that doesn't like you, the local DA doesn't like you for your past cases and public statements about their corruption and bad deeds.
They come in and try to put you in prison for 25 years.
Ultimately, you don't serve any time.
Ultimately, you get a good deal because justice shows almost all the allegations and accusations against you were either exaggerated or utterly false.
But in the interim, the state comes in and takes your custody, take custody of your kids, and makes a bunch of lies about what happened to those kids.
Falsifies tests concerning those kids.
Claims that the kids were at risk when they never were.
Never were.
I still get this nonsense from people.
Oh, can you dare to defend?
No, no, no.
Quit lying for the love of God, some of these people.
But what I was trying to tell people is, having dealt with this, representing the victims of abuse, by the way, over a quarter century, the least reliable ally of abused children is CPS because they don't care about actual abuse.
They care about political weaponization for their own personal purposes, for their own ideological agendas.
And now we know to line their own pockets.
The more false accusations and allegations they could make of child abuse, the more these people line their pockets with your taxpayer cash.
It's why it's time, as Elon Musk said, to get rid of the NGOs altogether.
It is an experiment that has failed.
Eisenhower said in his farewell address in 1961 that warned about the military-industrial complex, also warned about this new grant-creating complex.
He said that was going to corrupt the academy, corrupt science, corrupt medicine, corrupt it all.
People forget that part.
We've seen it in live time.
We've seen it on full display.
And Swampy Susie Wiles may be unhappy that USA got gutted, but the rest of Normie Middle America is thrilled that it is gone.
And it is time we get rid of the rest.
And this case is just further proof of it.
It was, I don't know who, I feel stupid, who Charlie Munger is.
I just know the expression: show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome.
And that's effectively what we're looking at when they incentivize certain behavior, like in COVID, for ventilizing, eventalizing, intubating people.
And hey, incentivize it, and you're going to intubate people.
Incentivize COVID hospitalizations.
You're going to incentivize COVID diagnoses.
And that's what you have right here.
Robert, before we're going to.
I see Pasha Meyer says he's mostly Swedish.
I take back everything I said about that.
Let me bring this up over here on Viva.
I want to show one thing on Viva Barnes Law on Rumble.
Sorry, everybody.
If you want to support the channel, you've all got the link for vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
If you want to tip in crypto, I've been getting the $5 in Bitcoin here and there, and it feels great.
You go there, you can highlight this thing, click on this scanning thing, and you can tip in crypto.
And if you want to tip in XAUT, you can tip in XAUT as well.
You go back here, you go to USDT, and you can click on the, I don't know how this works, actually.
You can scan the QR code.
It's revolutionary to Rumble.
And I don't know when they're unveiling it for everybody, but it's going to be sooner than later.
What I wanted to show you is this, Robert.
We got Danny Ducci says, is it possible at the state level to pass constitutional amendments that limit congressmen's ability to fundraiser for party apparatus, thereby short-circuiting our committee memberships?
It's difficult to do.
And it's risky because they tend to use those laws to restrict populists rather than their intended effect to restrict corporatists.
Lee Zeldon, EPA, is conveniently ignoring the most requested deregulation on diesel trucks, deaf, and death systems, which affects every single truck owner.
Instead, he is investigating chemtrails.
I don't even believe he's really doing the latter.
He's still screwing up around fluoride on the water.
I'm just not, I'm skeptical of Lee Zeldon.
I want to bring this one up because this was over on CommiTube.
Seems like the MIT Physics was specifically targeted because of his work in nuclear fusion, perhaps by a corporate competitor, Truth Social Justice.
Yeah, but if that's when the story doesn't make sense, because if his goal was this professor, he's not going to get the plot foiled by shooting up a classroom of students at Brown.
It makes no sense.
There's clearly ulterior incentives and motivations for other people to have been complicit in these murders.
And I'm not convinced they have fully vetted those options.
Yeah.
And Israel, I mean, I read an article that Israel was exploring the possibility it was an Iranian-funded hit, but that doesn't make sense if it's the same guy that shot up Brown University.
It does make sense if he wasn't the same guy.
And let's be honest: when we think it's like Dave Chappelle said recently, he was like, Everybody was ragging to me about being at Saudi Arabia.
They're saying, look at that journalist that died.
And he was like, hmm.
I didn't know we were counting journalists since Israel's killed about 240 of them.
Well, their argument's going to be, Robert, that they're not journalists, but they rather are terrorists in disguise.
Yeah, that's the excuse for all of them.
Everybody you don't like now is a terrorist.
But I mean, the other aspect, when I think of assassinations, do you think Iran, or do you think, I don't know, Israel?
Well, I think it's a damn, it's going to certainly feed into some of the theories of a country looking for a war with another country and jumping on this.
But it didn't play out.
It's the same Israel that accused that claim that the Pennsylvania shooter was connected to Iran and claimed that Iran was behind trying to get Trump assassinated.
I mean, B.B. Nenya who tells more lies, just flat-out lies, to get us into more stupid wars than anybody on the planet.
He and Lady, he had Lady Lindsay, the queen of the war whores, over there in Tel Aviv, screaming for war in Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.
That's how nuts these people are.
Smooth Brain Crypto says DOE Department of Education needs to investigate Brown University for Clary Act violations.
There's a lot of violations with the Ivy League.
I mean, Trump started out strong and then he wussed out, which would get to another case that we have.
I mean, he ended up backing off just to do anti-Semitism enforcement.
There's some DEI restrictions, but it's not as meaningful as it should have been.
And he let the Ivy League off the hook.
I mean, the Ivy League deserved far more scrutiny and criticism.
Instead, he's busy making sure they get all those Chinese communist foreign visas, which they admitted they got another Chinese student trying to bring in another pandemic this past week.
For the love of, I mean, just keep all the Chinese students in China.
I think the number of Chinese student visas should be the same as the number of H-1B visas, which is somewhere around zero.
And G-Fontis, I'm going to read it the way it's written.
Charlie Munger was born Buffett's right-hand man at Berkshire, halfway, whatever that is, until his death, maybe two years ago at 103 years old.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
It's a good expression.
Charlie Munger was a genius.
I mean, a really brilliant guy, though.
His law firm Munger Tolls and Olson, I had to sue back in the day, but that's another story for another day.
Now, Robert, we're going to take it over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
It looks like Trump is live.
So, oh, let's go raid.
Let's raid the White House.
People were going to do this.
Let them know from whence he came.
Viva Raid Booyah.
Oh, this is going to be so good.
So, raid.
We're going to go over to viva barnslaw.locals.com, raid the White House, and just put Viva and Barnes in the chat and make it go crazy.
Let's see what happens.
Can we do this?
Raid confirmed.
Viva Raid.
Oh, this is going to be so funny.
Viva Raid Booyah.
President Trump makes an announcement with Secretary of War and the Navy.
Well, hopefully it's a good announcement.
Yeah, supposedly.
I thought it'd be about Venezuela.
I thought last week it was going to be about Venezuela, but apparently they backed it's about building fancy ships is what the latest word was.
I don't know.
Reinvest in America.
So let's see here we go.
I'm going for, you know, that.
Okay, good.
Let's see this raid.
All right.
But everyone should come over to vivabarnslaw.locals.com.
We're going to have the after party, Robert.
I'm going to, I got to go for.
You know, the imagery they could use without the Franklin, the turtle book guy?
No, no, the look at what's behind them in the video.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Where are they?
I think it's not.
I think it's supposed to be.
The menorah.
Yeah.
Can we not do it?
I mean, God bless all of the Jews, but just the big party with them and everything.
It's Christmas time.
it's america let's let's have fewer fewer menores for the love of none of them are jewish even uh robert you don't need to be a jew to be jewish All right, we're going to go over to Viva Barnes now.
I think everybody's got the link.
Let me see here.
Whatever.
Okay, fine.
Hold on.
I can't.
Facts.
We'll have to get that.
We'll have laws about anti-Semitism.
We've got immigration in the first immigration courts in the First Amendment.
We've got Walmart letting perverts get access to your children.
We've got Baby Shark having to chase down all these Chinese counterfeiters.
We got Luigi.
Will the backpack come into evidence or not?
And Maryland wants to do reparations.
And they've got an excuse for how somehow it's still miraculously constitutional.
All right, we're updating it, people.
I'll be live again tomorrow at three o'clock.
Thank you all for being here.
If you're not coming over to Rumble, viva barnslaw.locals.com.
Rumble, make sure you like, share, subscribe before you go.
Commitube, make sure you like, go share my last video because whenever I put up an Epstein video, Robert, it seems to, you know, it doesn't get traction on Commitube.
So go check it out, but come over to Viva Barnes Law, and we're going to have the after party.
Locals, here we come.
Just change it to Epstein.
The Jew did it.
He'll probably get a lot of things.
No, you put Jew in the title, unless you're Candace Owens.
You're not getting any views.
Larry Ellis is buying everything up.
