Time Text
I know that people will be hurt by that vote.
And I'm, uh, we worked very hard to try to get a budget deal that wouldn't include that provision.
DFL Speaker Amerita, Melissa Hortman, emotional following the House's adjournment from a special session Monday.
Hortman was the lone DFL lawmaker to cast a vote to cut Minnesota care access for undocumented immigrants.
It's a move she made with a heavy heart.
I did what leaders do.
I stepped up and I got the job done for the people of Minnesota.
The bill was deeply unpopular with members of the DFL caucus.
Members have repeatedly expressed frustration that the bill was part of a compromise, one that would ensure the necessary GOP votes to pass the rest of the state budget.
We are tremendously disappointed and gut-wrenched at this decision, at this compromise that compromises our communities that are most vulnerable.
Hortman knows she let down her own caucus members with the vote.
They're right to be mad at me.
I think some of them are pretty, pretty angry.
I think that their job was to make folks who voted for that bill feel like crap.
And I think that they succeeded.
Do we all remember this?
Like it sort of feels like it's been memory hold.
That was Melissa Hortman who was murdered with her husband by, I should say, allegedly, even though it looks like it's Vance Belter, a raging lunatic who wrote a manifesto to the FBI claiming that Tim Walz asked him to murder Melissa Hortman and another person because Klobuchar wanted to run for the Senate, something along those lines.
Do we piece this together now?
Like Kierkegaard always famously said, and I always refer to it, life can only be understood backwards, yet it must be lived forwards.
You got that, I say kid, and I still, I don't know when the older you get, the older people who you call kid get.
And you don't do it in a demeaning, condescending way.
A young man, Nick Shirley, who put out that now, it's not, viral is not the word.
You know, Dave goes to the dentist or Dave after the dentist.
That went viral, you know, clips.
This is not going viral in the sense of, oh, it's a 30-second clip of a drugged up kid being hilarious.
Nick Shirley's expose was 42 minutes long.
I think most people have watched probably the better part of the 42 minutes.
I've watched it now multiple times because it's a work of editing genius in its simplicity.
It's a work of journalistic genius in its content.
And I don't know if y'all heard this.
It just got the attention of JD Vance.
JD Vance tweeting out.
Hold on one second.
I don't want to do that.
I want to go back here.
JD Vance tweeting out, this dude has done far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 24 Pulitzer Prizes.
It's like, once you get the vice president chiming in and putting this on blast, that's as high as it gets.
You know, President Trump can, I don't know if he has actually, I haven't seen it, can tweet it out as well.
It's fantastic journalism.
And what does it consist of?
Knocking on doors and asking people questions on camera and exposing the nutbags in the process.
Melissa Hortman was murdered shortly after that video in which she's teary-eyed.
She was the sole Democrat voting against continued funding for illegals.
I am not saying this to float any form of untenable conspiracy theory, period.
And this is not asking questions in the purpose of making an accusation.
This is now, in my mind, and I think these are reasonable dots to connect, connecting some reasonable dots.
You may or may not recall Vance Belter, the guy who allegedly shot Melissa Hortman and her husband and the other lawmakers.
Remember, he had some business in foreign countries.
I want to say, I want to say Rwanda, but I'm not.
I don't remember offhand.
African countries.
Now, you can imagine someone might be angry with a politician who might vote to defund or no longer fund services for illegal aliens.
It might, you know, as I said about Nick Shirley's work, when you fight corruption, corruption fights back.
When you start messing with people's livelihoods, well, then, you know, the fighting gets dirty.
And when you're fighting with criminals' livelihoods or people who are sucking at the teat of government fraud, they fight very dirty.
Whether or not her murder had anything to do with that vote, we don't know.
You can ask questions and not ask questions in the sense that people have been using that term to say you're not asking questions, you're making accusations.
You can ask that question: did it have anything to do with this?
Did someone who is dipping their pinky, their toe, maybe knee deep in government funding of foreign illegal backslash legal immigrant stuff, might they have been angry at that person?
Might they have been unhinged, deranged?
But that's you now look back on that and say, What were we told?
That it was a crazy, we were told it was a Trump, a Trump supporter.
When the media comes out and tells you it was a Trump supporter, and why?
Because his roommate, why a married man with however many kids he had, would have two male roommates in another location, don't ask any questions.
One of his roommates said, Yeah, he was a Trump supporter, although we never discussed politics.
Told he was a Trump supporter by the legacy media.
You can pretty much come to the conclusion that he wasn't.
It's irrelevant.
That is the red herring distraction.
Goes and murders a politician and her husband shortly after she was the sole Democrat politician vote to not continue funding for illegals.
I will connect some dots, or I'll at least say there are some theories that might make a little more sense right now.
Let me see.
I forget now.
Vance Belter activities in Africa.
What were his here?
I mean, we have to recall these things together in real time.
Accused Minnesota Vance Belter has ties to Middle East and Africa, runs a security company, the Congo.
The Minnesota man being sought in connection with these, this is back in the day, runs a security company, has ties to the Middle East in Africa.
Online biography showed Vance Belter lists himself on LinkedIn as CEO of the Red Line Group, which is based in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He worked with Minnesota Africans United, a statewide organization working with African immigrants in the state, according to a now-deleted biography on the group's website.
So he worked with Minnesota Africans United.
And I don't want to leave studio dude.
I just want to remove that.
He worked with Minnesota Africans United.
And now we are seeing the breadth, the scope, the scale, the rampant fraud going on in Minnesota.
We should revisit intentions, motivations, and connections to the assassination of the only Democrat lawmaker who voted against continued funding for illegal aliens.
Like Nick Shirley, for all of the amazing work that he's done, is going to be public enemy number one.
Not just to the Somalian community of Minnesota.
He just sort of interrupted their gravy train.
Now you got Elon, JD Vance, and the world talking about it.
He has effectively, and I'm saying this in the, not the literal sense, but the metaphysical sense, not just neutered, eviscerated Tim Walz.
Tim Walz is a useless man walking right now.
People are going to be pissed with him.
And this might expose some of the gritty underbelly of the fraud scheme that has been going on for however many years in the wonderful state of Minnesota.
You know what I just started watching the other day?
Fargo.
Flipping amazing.
I realized it's absolutely not appropriate for children.
I had forgotten that part.
So we will watch it when there's only adults around.
But that's what's going on.
Everybody, Viva Fry, make sure you acknowledge whose land.
I would like to say that before we start this stream, I would like to thank the, you know what I'd like to thank?
The Scots.
I haven't touched it yet.
I've been sitting here smelling this.
This is Cowl Ila.
That was not, it wasn't a gift because it wasn't mine and it wasn't for me, but it was somebody's gift.
And I have taken a portion of the last bit of it.
Cowl Ila, if you like smoky scotch, is the smokiest of the smoky.
And ladies and gentlemen, with our last live stream, Viva and Barnes Law for the People live stream.
I'll be live throughout the week.
The last Viva and Barnes Law for the People, Sunday night extravagants, and before the new year, 2026.
It can't come fast enough for a great many people.
i forgot what i was gonna say but i'm gonna take a little oh it doesn't get better than that Now, hold on.
I want to make sure Barnes actually has the link.
We're using StreamYard tonight, and I'm not doing that.
I feel a little dirty using StreamYard.
First of all, I'm not as fluent with it as I once was because I've been using Rumble Studio and Rumble Studio is just awesome.
I'm using it for a darn good reason.
I want to allow everybody who might want to join the Viva Barnes Law community to be able to do so without having to go behind the paywall to join Viva and Barnes Law for the People.
The Christmas code, I think it's 40% off or 50% off.
I forget which exactly, but it's a significant discount.
If you want to go to vivabarneslaw.locals.com, support the work that Robert Barnes and I do.
Christmas code.
The code is Christmas.
All caps, Christmas.
And I think it's 40 or 50% off.
You can now go to that community and I'll show you what it looks like in about two seconds and join.
But it will not be behind a paywall tonight because we're using StreamYard.
It's behind a paywall on the Rumble app.
And to see what's going on in there, you're going to have to forgive my, first of all, I'm clearly not home.
I found a free speech Rumble shirt.
Oh, yeah.
In the closet, which is working out well for the evening.
I want to share screen and go over to viva barneslaw.locals.com and see what's going on there.
Take a few of the tip questions.
I've never tried it, but you make it enticing Viva Matt.
It's the best.
If you like smoky PD scotch.
Bone more 12, that was the other choice I had.
I'll get that one after the show.
But if you like PD, Smokey, on the smoke meter, Caul Lila is right up there with Brooke Laddie and it's flipping amazing.
Viva, apparently the code doesn't work if you pay with coins.
Might be good to warn people.
Consider that the warning.
I didn't know that.
Viva's been pumping iron.
I've been doing my push-ups to try to get past the pain of my...
All right, let's see here.
So we got some tip questions.
We're going to start with these and then until Barnes comes in.
Text Barnes, people.
I hope he remembers we have a show tonight.
He does.
He does.
I'm joking.
President Trump must release the full Epstein files, no matter which of his donors will be embarrassed.
Says Gray 101.
I think we all agree on that.
Absolutely.
It's been unfortunately the continued unforced debacle.
You're allowing the likes of, what's her face?
Caitlin Collins.
Come on.
I mean, when you're letting Caitlin Collins get the W's by calling out the Trump administration, it's a, it's a, whatever.
We're moving.
We're making progress.
I like the fact that, you know, this is the honesty.
I'm always honest, always brutal.
I wouldn't want to continue to give Trump the hard time or Pam Bondi, I should say, because they're technically not complying with the court order.
We'll talk about it when Barnes gets here.
I am damn happy.
And, you know, we all are happy and fortunate to benefit from the doggedness of Thomas Massey and Rokana to some extent.
We're going to get to Roe in a second before Barnes gets here.
But we are lucky to have the Thomas Massey out there saying, this isn't complying with the court order.
You can't tell us you have a million documents now that you have to take your time to redact and publish when you said you didn't have anything six months ago and you had 30 days to do it right now.
You have the biggest corporation on earth.
You could have done it within the timeline.
But we are lucky to have Thomas Massey doing the dirty work that many of us don't want to do.
Gray 101 says, I will proudly vote down ballot for any party that does Epstein perpetrators' arrests.
Gray 101, as a reminder, the Trump administration still insists there is only evidence of the Epstein victims who were sent to Epstein.
It's still a hoax and wealthy donors victimize the girls too.
Ithaca 37 Kato says, legendary star sexy puppet Brigitte Bardot has died.
Cloud says, don't worry, Viva, Cash is on it.
All right, you know what?
I forgot to bring that one up.
I say, on the one hand, when it comes to Nick Shirley's journalism, it's amazing.
What I actually found the earlier today is, what's his face, put out a tweet?
Let me bring this one up.
Kash Patel put out a tweet.
And you knew it was going to happen.
And other people called it before I did.
Kash Patel put out a tweet that says, oh, yeah, before this video even went viral, we were on it.
Let me see where this is down here somewhere.
See, the Twitter is my diary.
Is my diary of a world gone mad?
That's Rokana.
That was me fighting with Rokana.
We'll get there in a second.
Kash Patel.
Here we go.
Look at this.
Kash Patel puts out a tweet.
I put this in the vlog that I put out today.
It got copystriked, by the way.
Unbelievable.
Only on CommiTube.
It gets copystriked because the background music when Nick Shirley was going to visit the lady who denied, you know, one of the ladies behind the kindergarten frauds, the music in the backdrop, someone, some troll on YouTube copyclaim, gave me a strike.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't affect the channel.
I just cut the section out.
Kash Patel puts out this.
Case update, Minnesota fraud scheme.
The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota.
How about you say the FBI is aware of Nick Shirley's viral video?
It's like, it's okay.
However, even before the public conversation escalated online, you mean before the public conversation occurred online, the FBI had surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes, exploiting federal programs, fraud that steals taxpayer money, yada, yada, yada.
To date, the FBI has dismantled a quarter of a billion dollars, yada, yada, yada.
The case led to 78 indictments, 57 convictions.
Defendants included Abdi Wahhab, Ahmed Mahmoud, Ahmed Ali, Hussein Farah, Abdul Noor, Jazao, and a bunch of others.
And it goes on, you know, we're doing our job, et cetera, et cetera.
The problem with that, by the way, is it predates Kash Patel's tenure.
These convictions actually go back to 2024, Biden's DOJ.
And you have to understand this.
One of the key words that I say people just don't understand the subtle, not admissions of Kash Patel's wrongdoing, but the subtle admissions of the thorough corruption.
Oh, even before the public conversation escalated online, the public conversation needed to escalate online.
It deserves to be escalated online.
And it wasn't escalated online because the prior DOJ was covering up for the corruption and the fraud in Minnesota because Tim Walz was running for president.
And it would have been a wild embarrassment to have this $10 billion fraud scheme revealed to the public.
So Cash Fatelle is actually maybe 4D chess revealing, showing what a corrupt institution the DOJ FBI was.
Hopefully is not, but I don't think they've purged it of it because all that they did was quietly, discreetly prosecute a few people in 2024 and do nothing to dismantle it because it's still going on and do nothing to humiliate the man that was running for vice president of the United States of America at the time.
It was corruption covering up for corruption.
Now I see Biggity Barnes in the back.
We're going to bring him in.
Did I miss any super chats, CommieTube, super chats, or on Rumble?
Share the link, everybody.
Walls was not what Walls was running for VP.
No president, Viva.
Vols was running for VP.
No, I said VP.
Hold on.
If I accidentally said president, yeah, Waltz was running for VP and they were not revealing this to the public.
They were quietly doing what they could to manage the corruption and not have it escalate in the public discourse because that's what actually gets shit done.
Robert, sir, I'm going to bring you in.
We are going to have our best of 2025.
Sir, oh no, I hear an echo now.
It's definitely on your end, Robert.
And I'm used to being here.
Check, check.
Have you got headphones?
I do, but don't know how to use them.
Let me see what I okay.
It's look, I think.
Hold on.
What can I do?
So now it's now we know it's not Rumble Studio.
It's your end.
And how am I going to deal with this?
Hold on a second.
Let me see what I can do here.
No, that's going to obviously do it.
I'm looking at the boomer comments in the chat.
Let me see if I do audio.
MacBook.
No, that's not going to do it.
Echo Cast is on.
Echo.
I just turned it on.
Robert, if I do.
Let me think of what I have to do here.
You're going to, you're getting headphones for Christmas.
I'm going to have to do it.
Let me think about what I can do.
Okay.
Robert, I'm going to.
No, I can't even do this.
Hold on.
Hold on.
You are echoing, Viva.
Yes, yes, we know this now.
Okay, hold on.
Let me think about this for one second before we panic.
If I mute my, you know, the funny thing is on Rumble Studio, I had a solution for this.
Now I don't have a solution here.
Edit mic settings.
Oh, hold on.
If I go like this, hold on.
This.
This.
Okay. I'll lower my volume here.
No, see, I'm going to.
Oh, it's going to be annoying.
Don't panic, be a man.
Hold on.
Let's try this.
Hey, Robert.
Hey, Robert.
No, I can still hear it.
Okay, I'm going to put my headphones back in.
I don't hear an echo on Barnes.
Well, you're going to have to deal an echo on me, and you're only going to hear it when I stop talking.
Robert, we're going to live with it.
I don't know what we're going to do.
It's Robert's fault, everybody.
It's not my fault.
Now I know it's not Rumble Studio.
Okay, Robert, how's it going?
How's it going?
Good, good.
Viva, when you're muted, there is no echo.
LOL.
All right.
Well, it'll only be annoying when I'm talking.
I'll try not to talk as much.
Hold on.
Get this out of here.
Well, Robert, just tell us what's going on here while I try to figure this out on my end.
Oh, that did it.
So I can just mute while you're talking.
Okay.
Well, that's going to be the solution.
And you can still hear me now.
Thumbs up.
All right, people.
I'm getting Barnes' headphones for the New Year's.
Robert, tell us what's going on in the world and what we're going to talk about tonight.
So we're going to look at the top cases of 2025 and 2026.
We have the Epstein files.
We have Russia Gate Law Fair.
Will there be accountability?
Will there be indictments?
The James Comey case, the Tess James case, the John Bolton case, which already exists in some form, may need to be reinstated into those three.
But also, will Brennan be indicted?
Will Comey be indicted again?
Will others be indicted?
Clapper out of the Southern District of Florida.
We have the big trials that may happen in 2026.
They might get delayed another year, but that includes Tyler Robinson, Luigi, and the January 6th alleged pipe bomber as three of the more high-profile ones.
Then we've got what's coming up legislatively in Congress this year.
The big current legislative discussions concern ACA subsidies and AI immunity.
But will there be judicial impeachments of Judge Boesberg or others, or will Congress completely fail in that regard?
Then we've got all the constitutional issues that SCOTUS will be dealing with.
Some cases, lower courts, but good chance SCOTUS handles them.
On the First Amendment, we have woke counseling.
We have being arrested for being a grassroots journalist asking public questions.
And we've got, is there a right to beg pending potentially before the Supreme Court?
Second Amendment, Hawaii gun law bans, the Illinois gun law bans, AR-15 gun law bans, magazine gun law bans, all potentially going up to SCOTUS on top of certain nonviolent felonies that are people have been stripped of their gun rights, drugs, certain kinds of drug possession, use, or in some cases, convictions.
How does that impact gun rights?
The National Firearms Act and the fact that the tax is no longer present.
How would that impact the constitutionality of that statute?
So a bunch of Second Amendment issues.
A bunch of Fourth Amendment issues.
When can they just stick a camera on a phone and spy on you or on a poll and spy on your whole house, spy into your cartilage in your backyard, your front yard, your porch?
That's going up to the Supreme Court, along with can they just say emergency and raid your house anytime they want without probable cause of a crime?
Those cases, plus geofencing.
What happens when they use these big issues in the January 6th pipe bomber case?
When they do this massive searches of your phone via the location of your phone without a warrant or probable cause.
How does that work?
Or will geofense warrants survive constitutional Fourth Amendment scrutiny?
Fifth Amendment, when they take your stuff, what about when they take your stuff and take more than is even due?
Like for somebody who owed a $2,000 disputed tax bill, lost their house, lost at least $76,000 that was sold at auction, lost hundreds of thousands of more in fair market value.
That's going up to the Supreme Court.
What are the meanings of takings within that context?
We have the Sixth Amendment issues, Seventh Amendment jury trial issues.
When can federal agencies just deny you a jury trial and steal your stuff in contravention of the tradition of the Seventh Amendment?
A bunch of cases going up before SCOTUS on that.
What about elections?
The Voting Rights Act, that big decision is forthcoming.
Mail-in ballots, that decision is forthcoming.
When is campaign finance protected speech?
That issue is going to be forthcoming.
On immigration, birthright citizenship may or may not be decided this year.
Will they dodge it again?
Or will they meaningfully address it head on?
What about the use of National Guard?
That came up just this past week.
Will Trump be allowed to use it or not?
And if so, use the military.
And so, under what circumstances and for what purposes?
The bureaucracy versus the, does the, you have questions about Article 1, legislative power in the tariff and tax context that also impacts Article II power.
You have cases where Article I has tried to, the legislative branch has tried to usurp the executive branch with the help of the judicial branch and limiting who can be fired and when they can be fired, who can be appointed and when they can't be appointed for so-called independent agencies.
Humphrey's executor, those cases going to be up before the Supreme Court this term.
Does the president of the United States get to control the bureaucracy or not?
Is Article 2 his or not?
That will be decided this term in large part.
Then we've got woke trans and schools issues that impact a wide range of state and federal laws.
We've got big venue case.
Does the Southern District of New York or the Sovereign District of New York, as some people like to call it, do they get to dictate and control all criminal cases simply because stock markets are physically located in New York, even when the underlying activity has nothing to do with the Southern District of New York?
Big venue case going up before the Supreme Court.
So that and more in the top cases of 2025 and 2026 in this New Year's Eve edition of Viva Barnes.
Now, Robert, muted for one second.
And the question I'm going to ask you, not to get too neurotic.
Can you reposition your camera just a little bit while I do my camera?
Okay, okay, forget it.
Robert, it might have not been on the street.
This direction, I can't turn it this direction.
That's good.
That's good enough.
Robert, it might not have been on our list, although I think it qualifies under the election stuff.
Tina Peters filed, her attorneys filed a motion last week asking the state court judge to basically recognize the federal pardon because it relates to state crimes.
And we all know the standard, you know, the phrase, which is that, you know, the federal pardon doesn't pardon state crimes.
We've talked about it, but I just want to bring it up again in light of this motion.
What can be done at the state level?
What can Trump do now in terms of maybe declaring her to be something of a federal whistleblower and taking her into federal custody?
The state is not going to recognize the federal pardon.
What can the Trump administration do to free Tina Peters, who is serving nine years, some of her sentences being consecutive because that judge is a worthless sack of human feces?
What can they actually do now?
And what must they do?
And what must people get them to do in order to save Tina Peters?
So we'll see.
I mean, the Supreme Court will have the opportunity to potentially re-examine whether there is truly dual sovereignty between the state and federal governments.
It's never made a lot of sense to me.
To me, the federal government's sovereignty derives from the states.
So how can the states be a separate sovereign as if they're a foreign nation?
Never agreed with that for double jeopardy purposes.
Don't agree with it for pardon purposes.
So there's a possibility the Supreme Court kind of steps in and says, in fact, the pardon power does extend to state and local crimes.
That would be very, I mean, that would be a revolutionary decision, but I think one more consistent to the Constitution than their current made up separate, let's pretend these governments are completely separate from one another nonsense, as if it's Texas and Georgia rather than Texas and the United States.
Literally means United States, but putting that aside for the moment.
What I have said from day one is that I thought they should treat her as a witness against criminal corruption and fraud, including, by the way, the prison system itself, given how she's been mistreated and maltreated, how she was mistreated by the judicial system, and how she was treated by the executive branch.
So you have multiple layers of civil rights whistleblowing.
One level of civil rights whistleblowing is just that the election law elections were not being constitutionally enforced that she was a witness to as an election official in Colorado in 2020 and a wide range of security breaches she was able to identify and spot by and by proving that security breaches existed.
That's what they used to criminally prosecute her, saying, oh my goodness, you're proving security breaches.
That somehow is a state crime.
So there's that level of issue.
Then there's the absurdity of the sentence, the absurdity of how the state court processed the case, the absurdity that she was prosecuted in the first place by rogue prosecutors and for punitive purposes, the insanity of the sentence, the civil rights violating treatment by the prison.
I mean, I dealt with this case from Lenny Dykstreet years ago, famous baseball player.
He was in state facilities.
They were torturing him.
He was identifying major criminality in the state facility run by the jail cell officials themselves, by the way.
The state jail, the state jails in L.A., the police had created their own gangs and how they could behave inside the jail.
That's how insane it was.
We were able to get him transferred to a federal facility in large part because he had whistleblowing information about the state.
So now normally you have to go through and get a federal court to order it.
So you have to file a petition for rid of habeas corpus as the federal government asked for her immediate release.
I tell you, they get these people released all the time with less.
The federal government cut a deal with Lucky Luciano and Lucky Lucian.
We had mobsters released in order to help the federal government.
So, I mean, this happens on a daily basis somewhere, someplace.
Usually the federal government just walks in and takes the guy out of state facility, by the way.
But I assume they're assuming the state will resist massively that.
So that probably the proper protocol is to go through the federal court system itself.
They have seemed unwilling to do so.
They've wanted to negotiate, talk with him on the phone, send him emails, send him, but not been willing to take, be proactive and directly active inside by taking no federal government agency has yet, to my knowledge, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus for Tina Peters.
And that's in part because Pam Bonni is incompetent.
Todd Blanche is incompetent.
These are people that are not equipped to handle the Justice Department in general, in my opinion.
They've proven it now for the better part of a year.
They just did.
All they are is loyal to Trump.
And loyals can, Trump put that above everything.
As long as you're loyal to me, you can be a complete moron.
No problem.
But just be loyal to me.
I mean, it's clear he made a mistake in that regard.
He learned the wrong lesson from his first term.
But to me, no one has convinced me why this can't happen.
I know Mike Davis likes to run interference and he pretends it, but he's incompetent on this too.
I mean, these people mostly have never done this before, which is kind of shocking, but not been affiliated with it, not been associated with it.
So they don't even understand the process.
People like Mike Davis didn't think the process existed.
He didn't even know, apparently.
So you can bring a federal habeas petition to release someone that has federal whistleblowing information.
And Tina Peters has it not only on the 2020 election, but on the corruption of the executive branch and her prosecution, the corruption of the judicial branch and her prosecution, the corruption of the state prison facilities and how she is being handled in her incarceration, constantly being locked up, solitary confinement, constantly has physical threats against her.
It was insane.
She had a nine-year sentence to begin with.
That to me was a civil rights violation of its own accord.
So if Armin Dylan steps up, if others step up, she should be released.
President Trump has repeatedly called for her release.
But, you know, so far, the Justice Department has not shown the capacity to get anything done.
So unfortunately, I don't have any confidence that this Justice Department will get anything done for Tina Peters in the new year either.
But to me, at least try to use a federal habeas petition to get her released because she is a civil rights whistleblower at multiple levels.
All right.
Thank you.
And we're going to make sure everybody can clip and share that.
The other one that's been making the rounds, Rob, we cannot not talk about it, the Minnesota fraud.
The question is also, in respect of the Minnesota fraud, people are saying it's a state issue, but there's federal fraud monies in there.
First of all, I mean, I don't know if you saw what Nick Shirley put out there.
What's your take on this?
And what should the feds do right now?
And what liability, if any, and I'm presuming that there is some, does Tim Walz stand to bear for his oversight of perhaps the biggest fraud in American history?
Well, it's not a big surprise at multiple levels.
I mean, it's good to know the whole context of how the Somalis got here.
The Somalis got here because of the U.S. government's warmongering obsession around the world.
We have been bombing Somalia.
Trump, I think, dropped 16 bombs on them in the last week or two.
We've been bombing them since the 1980s.
I mean, that's how long.
What it is is Somalia was a place that had some, you know, had some communists, some anti-communists, some other issues present in the underlying, and in the post-Cold War era, developed, I mean, it's been, you know, kind of at civil war at different levels and multiple time periods.
But it peaked because of U.S. involvement in the late 80s, early 90s.
Black Hawk Down is a Somalia-based film that unleashed these sort of warlords having control.
And consequently, we felt obligated and were somewhat complicit in the destruction of their society.
So that's how a whole bunch of Somalis ended up here in the first place.
And a good number of them were communists.
Others were various, they were mostly connected to the losing side in the war.
Many of them were totality, you know, were violent criminals and sociopaths.
So it was inevitable that you were going to get this, right?
You weren't getting just a bunch of poor refugees from a war-torn region.
You were getting people who were complicit in the underlying criminality in the war and were some of the more nastiest, vicious people on the planet, right?
You're not getting a random cross-sample of the Somali population.
You're getting some of the most dangerous dark actors, like a lot of our Afghans that we brought in, were some of the nastiest, most vicious Afghans because of who was brought in.
It wasn't a random cross-section of that society.
Kind of like an inverse of Indian immigration.
A lot of our Indian immigration came from people that had professional class backgrounds.
So they had a form of intellectual, social, and cultural capital.
So a lot of the Indians that came here, people from India that came here, disproportionately performed well.
That's not necessarily what would have happened if we would have got a random cross-section of the Indian subcontinent as a population.
We got more a slice of it.
So that's part of the, so given you, if you know that, you know, the intelligence agency's ties, you're not surprised at all at systemic fraud and corruption involved in the community because of the slight, it's not because it's endemic to Somalia.
It's because it's endemic to the people that we brought in because of our connections to them in causing conflict overseas.
People should remember this when they want to go into Venezuela or some other place, that this usually is what backfires.
So you go, Omar's father was a nasty, nasty, mean, vicious guy.
So that the fact that she got elected congresswoman should tell you a lot about who are the Somalis there.
So that's part one.
Part two is the, of course, that they do systemic fraud.
I mean, really, this is happening Democratic Party political machine writ large.
It took U.S. aid.
It took all these big organizations that were mostly meant for regime change and intelligence agency apparatus.
And they cut a deal during the Clinton era with the Democratic Party as a party.
And it deepened under Obama and just flourished like mad under Biden because Biden was the ultimate patronage guy.
Biden was the old school Democratic political machine guy.
So the Somali population was going to explode in fraud and corruption because everything that was being used for what was going, go to our voters, make sure our voters get a big piece of the action.
That's how Joe Biden thought.
And he took what was already there in the foundation, just lit it on fire.
And the easiest place to get it is Medicare and Medicaid.
Those are the easiest places to massively defraud the federal government as long as you have insiders in the government.
And some of that is state government because the Medicaid manages it, but it's federal funds.
So it's at both levels.
So the work Nick Shirley is doing is just, now I would say this.
There's a lot of those organizations that are vendor organizations.
So the fact that they have small offices doesn't necessarily tell you everything.
That just, maybe that means something.
Maybe it doesn't mean anything at all.
Because what the actual services are provided by nurses and others, and they're acting as middlemen.
So you don't know, are they legit middlemen or illegit middlemen?
The fact that they have tiny offices in some strip mall tells you nothing.
A lot of Medicare Medicaid middlemen operators are just contract facilitators and know how to work the system.
So that, you know, the nurse, the nurses and others are providing the medical care, the social workers in some cases, et cetera.
And they're just looking for middlemen to manage the bureaucratic process, not want to have to deal with that.
Now, when you have these middlemen, it is open rife for fraud.
How do you know the charge is legit?
How do you know the charge isn't a surcharge?
How do you know the person even performed the service?
So on and so forth.
So I have no doubt there's systemic fraud present.
Not everything Shirley's documenting is proof of that.
It's proof of the inference of the possibility of fraud.
But some people were seeing some out thinking that everybody in the Medicare Medicaid space provides medical services.
Most of the people that do the billing don't do the services.
So it's not a surprise if they're running out of their, they're an operation out of their house.
And you might, well, let's see if we hear the echo now.
I did, I do predicted, Robert, that what's going to happen is they're going to find like a few elements where Nick, it might be not Nick, but the guy that he was doing the research with is factually incorrect.
They're going to say, oh, some of those daycares were on holiday, so no kids were there.
Others had other regulatory issues, so they couldn't have kids at their facilities until whatever.
They're going to try to debunk it by discrediting Nick on one or two elements.
This might be one of them because like you say, you know, companies have PO boxes.
It doesn't mean that every company with a PO box is a fraudulent company.
They're going to try to do that to discredit Nick.
But the bottom line is it was a flourishing industry of corruption and fraud.
And it's interesting what you say about who the Somali population that was imported is.
Why did they end up in Minnesota, by the way?
That usually varies.
So also the Hmong were sent there.
So that were from part of Cambodia that got displaced during the Vietnam War and our expansion of that war beyond Vietnam unofficially.
And so a lot of the Hmong went to Minnesota.
So where they, it used to be just sort of local community.
They're also in Maine, by the way.
A good number of Somalis are in Maine.
Now, you might say, you know, if you're from those countries, like, hold on a second, I'm from like the sub-Saharan desert and now I'm in frozen tundra.
You know, what kind of gift is this?
But the, so there's that aspect.
But usually, increasingly under Biden, it was directly tied to jobs.
So, hey, we're going to help run, we're going to use NGOs to run illegals or new or refugees, so-called, to make sure they service the Tyson plant in such and such Arkansas, right?
So often you track to like a whole bunch of them ended up in parts of Tennessee, and the clear reason was because they were here to work at certain factories that had done quid pro quo secret deals with the government to literally just bring in de facto slave labor.
That's what was happening in Springfield, Ohio.
And then they're usually tied into the local mayor, the local landlords.
So that they built this whole like immigrant industrial complex to service local politicians, to service local industries, to service certain corporations, to be disruptive in certain areas politically, purposely.
But I don't know why they ended up originally in Maine and in Minneapolis, usually because that system was not as well developed when they first came in here.
So it would be like the Twin Cities.
Usually it's tied to an NGO saying we will welcome them.
We will facilitate their placement here.
We will facilitate their homes, so forth.
That's usually the tie-in, but not always.
So I don't know what the full tie-in is to the Somalis, but they helped take over the Twin Cities and in turn helped take over the state of Minnesota and keep it Democratic.
So it did seem to serve that purpose.
Yeah, say Nick has got Nick's got private security.
And bottom line, he's now sufficiently big that if something bad were to happen to him, it won't happen unnoticed.
All right, well, that's fascinating.
Pivot into the other big file of the week, which were the Epstein files.
And I started off talking about it a little bit.
Thomas Massey and Rochana, who's eating crow because of his position on taxing billionaires in California, once a Democrat, always a Democrat, but he was right on the Epstein files.
Massey has come out and said what Pam Bondi did is not complying with that 30-day law, the bill that was signed that required disclosure within 30 days.
Now they're saying we've got millions of documents.
We need more time.
And Massey is saying this is not complying with the bill that was signed that Trump signed into law.
Is he right?
Is he right?
Bottom line is, is it sort of is he being a little too demanding in terms of what has already been disclosed and what will be in theory disclosed?
It is the degree of incompetence and ineptitude in the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files will go down as the greatest self-sabotage of any scandal I know in American political history.
The only close competitor would be Nixon's handling of his tapes in Watergate.
That is the only competitor.
And even that doesn't come close to this because this didn't need to be a scandal for Trump.
It was a scandal that when the files would be fully disclosed, forthrightly disclosed, would exonerate Trump and incriminate his adversaries.
Instead, the way he has handled this has permanently incriminated him, no matter what he does.
It won't matter what files come out.
There'll be enough fake files and AI files and falsely redacted files by the Democrats that now most Democrats and most independents will always believe that Epstein implicated Donald Trump because of how he handled this.
And he handled this based on the advice of Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, and Kash Patel.
And maybe we'll find out in time, Dan Bongino.
Todd Blanche said Bongino signed on.
Notably, Dan Bongino has never said he signed on and refused to put his signature to it.
So we'll see in time.
He's stepping.
He'll be a free man here in a few weeks.
My guess is he'll never go public with what really happened.
But he's not that kind of guy if you're generous towards him.
If you're more skeptical like I am, you wouldn't.
Either way, whether he's the more generous interpretation that Viva has or the more skeptical one that I have, either way, he's unlikely to come out and throw anybody under the bus for him being thrown under the bus while he was in the administration.
But either way, what we said at the time was, one, this was not credible.
So that even if it was true, no one's ever going to believe it.
So that's a problem in how you're handling it, just out of the gate.
Number two was there was no way their methods were good.
That, you know, we talked about was how did they, how did Pam Bonte have time to review the 10,000 hours of videotape that were reportedly pulled from the scene?
How did they have time to review the million plus pages of documents that and the million of financial records that would be present throughout the government?
The hundreds and hundreds of interviews that have been conducted, the tens of thousands of pages of transcripts from both grand juries and trial juries and from independent internal investigations that some of us knew was there.
It's because they never read it.
Kash Patel went before Congress and made statements that he had no grounds to say because he had never read the file.
The same is true.
I would note, I don't recall Dan Fontino ever going before Congress and testifying on this.
He did some interviews, but noticeably, he never went before Congress and testified before any of this.
Now, Bonnet Pamboni was stupid enough to do it.
Todd Blanche enough going out public to do it.
Kash Patel was dumb enough to do it.
But what we said was there's no way they simply because the time was, there wasn't enough time.
How do you have enough time to review 10,000 hours of videotape?
How do you have enough time to review a million plus pages of documents?
You don't.
So when they said, we've looked at the file and we know, boom, boom, boom, I was like, no, you haven't.
You're lying about looking at the file.
You looked at the thin down version the corrupt hacks gave you.
And but which I talked about last week, you could bet the FOIA department was going to constantly sabotage him and it's still sabotaging him to this day.
And they still haven't figured it out.
They're redacting things they're not supposed to redact.
They're not redacting things they are supposed to redact.
I mean, they're all over the place.
They didn't get the files.
They never, remember, we talked about the Southern District of New York having files back in March.
In March.
Pam Bonte acknowledged that there were a bunch of files there.
They never got them.
That's what was admitted this week.
They're like, holy moly, there's a million pages of documents at the Southern District of New York.
No, duh.
You knew that in March and you never got them.
You publicly complained, hey, Kash Patel, where are these?
Kash Patel, I'm right on it.
I'm right about to get it.
He didn't get it for six months.
Six months.
These people are a joke.
They are so they are.
Pam Bondi is the dumbest attorney general in American history.
She might not be the most corrupt because Pil Barr is a tough competitor.
Palmer's a tough competitor.
There's some tough competitors in there.
But the dumbest for sure, absolutely the dumbest is Pam Boni.
Todd Blanche, total, way, way over his head.
And Kash Patel, a joke, complete joke, because they didn't even do the basic methods.
They have done more harm to the president than any other members of cabinet by a long mile in his first term, first year.
They were the ones who gave him the bad advice that told him he was all over the files.
And then he keeps seeing as they get disclosed, he's not, which means he was misled by them, which means they were easily misled by others, which means they're not competent to do their job.
And so Pam Bonte is going to get some form of, whether it's impeachment, indirect contempt, whatever it is, she's going to ultimately be dragging this issue out all year long because she can't do her job and because Kash Patel can't do his job.
Take, for example, the disclosures.
It should have come out all the way back five years ago when it happened.
Remember, we were led to believe that Jeffrey Epstein was on suicide watch because he had tried to kill himself.
Now we see the internal file.
That isn't what happened at all.
He woke up with a bunch of red marks around his throat saying, what the heck happened?
Someone had tried to murder him.
That's what he was suggesting.
And then rather than admit or investigate that and put additional safety precautions on protecting his life, they decided he was just making it up or tried to kill himself, which was absurd.
This is a high-profile inmate.
They were covering it up all along.
So they know that somebody tries to murder him and they put him in a position to get murdered further instead of doing something protective about it.
This is Bill Barr is neck deep in this.
Bureau of Prisons is neck deep in this.
There's a wide scale degree in what people are seeing.
Remember, there's nothing to see here.
Michael Tracy, oh, Jeffrey Epstein's a stand-up guy.
Don't know why anybody has all these criminal conspiracy theories about him.
And then you see him pictures with a bunch of kids and things that don't look normal at all.
I mean, not just young women.
Some of these are kids and their unexplained presence of the kids.
Unexplained reason why they're being photographed with Epstein, right?
I mean, there's just, I mean, he appears to have been much even more perverse and nasty and sick than we could have even imagined.
And you see some of those other photos.
I mean, it's like eyes wide shut on steroids, but with people being trafficked against their will by the appearance of some of these things.
Bill Clinton is all over the place.
He's on photos in hot tubs, photos in pools, photos on planes, photos in beds.
I mean, come on.
This was a gold mine for the Trump administration, and they turned it into kryptonite.
It's just by incompetence.
And Trump at this point should realize their incompetence, but clearly he's slow to wake up to it.
He's still slow to wake up to how he completely mishandled this.
But he'll probably in the end get impeached over this.
You know, hopefully they use the opportunity to accelerate disclosures over the next couple of weeks.
If they do, they can limit the damage this continues to cause.
But you know them.
They're going to keep hiding documents.
They're going to keep redacting the wrong things.
They're going to keep saying the wrong things.
Trump will sporadically call it a hoax again, and it will extend the issue for another month by the most bumbling B version of the administration you could imagine.
This incompetent handling of the Epstein files.
And just to bring this one up, because I saw it earlier, guerrilla strength equipment.
This is going to be the greatest shout out that you're going to get.
Crazy, but Epstein's cellmate had me build custom equipment for him.
His cellmate was something Tartaglia, an alleged drug dealer, quadruple homicide murderer, convicted life sentences.
He used to send me videos of him using them.
One of them is still on my channel.
The man was built like a cartoonish UFC fighter.
And when that document dropped, where it said Epstein woke up and they have like his medical notes every 15 minutes, he says, Awaken Well, Awaken Well, says his cellmate tried to kill him.
Awake, awake, wake, whatever.
And I said that that could go two ways.
If Epteon is trying to kill himself, he needs to be alone to do it.
So he'll say, my cellmate tried to kill me.
Leave me alone so that I don't get killed by my cellmate, but leave me some extra linen so that I can hang myself.
Flip side, he was killed by his freakish quadruple murderer cellmate, and then they lost the minute or whatever and whisked the guy out.
And he has what looks like, and by even by the forensic guy at the corner, says it looked like strangulation, not hanging.
And they're trying to cover it up and tell us he killed himself.
But maybe he did kill himself, but he still had extra linens to do it.
Do you think, I mean, they're going to, the bungle has already been bungled.
The question is going to be: do they reveal enough that's going to be prejudicial to the Democrats in light of the upcoming 2026 midterms?
I mean, there'll be a lot in there that damages Democrats.
There'll be a lot in there that I'm curious how much they're going to keep trying to cover.
I think most of the redactions to date, part of the redaction, like, remember there was no co-conspirators?
Kash Patel's idiotic lie to Congress.
It turned out, of course, the FBI had formalized an investigation into multiple co-conspirators into at least 10 co-conspirators.
So, I mean, that's the degree of incompetency and ineptitude that, you know, as soon as that was fully on display, Bondi should have been fired.
Blanche should have been fired.
Patel should have been fired.
He probably needs to do that with Bondi just to avoid this being a big show in the Senate for six or the House for six months where they're dragging on an investigation, dragging on a potential vote.
They can physically arrest her and take her to the House and have her there in the House to where she couldn't, you know what I mean, literally imprisoned in the House of Representatives.
Do they want that scandal?
Did they want Epstein to dominate all of 2026 like it dominated large parts of 2025?
If not, they need to get rid of these people.
Just bring in new people.
One, number two, I would assign a special counsel to Epstein Files at this point, make them fully responsible for everything and the point person with Congress.
Third, make that person somebody who the world has confidence in.
Because what they will reveal, and this is why I'll be curious about they really reveal it, Democrats are negatively implicated, no question, high-profile Democrats.
But usually people connect to the Clinton machine.
Unbeknownst to a lot of people, Larry Summers getting taken out as part of the Epstein files was something the new left wants.
So the new Democratic Party wants to cut ties with Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, all of them.
They don't want anything to do with him anymore.
They want to move on entirely to a new generation, new wave of leadership.
And so they don't mind the old guard getting taken out by the Epstein files.
And that's who gets taken out.
It's the old guard of the Democratic Party, not the new guard of the Democratic Party.
So they have no problem taking those folks out, or those people getting taken out.
But the big question is, will they implicate the intelligence agencies?
And the intelligence agencies' enablers here in the United States, principally big banks and Wall Street institutions.
You know, this case implicates Bear.
I mean, like, what's become clear when you put things together, Mike Benz has put this together.
Alex Jones put it together a long time ago.
But is that when you know he was hired by Bill Barr for a position he wasn't qualified for to a prestigious elite school, you know right away he is being targeted, Jeffrey Epstein, that is, to be recruited into the intelligence community because that is Donald Barr's history, Bill Barr's father, going back to the founding of the Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor to the CIA during World War II.
So then he goes to Bear Stearns where he works with Ace Greenberg.
And what was Bear Stearns doing?
Who was one of their big clients that Epstein works with?
BCCI.
Know anything about BCCI?
You want to know about the scale and scope of money running, arms running, intel laundering, information laundering, along with some honeypots and bribery and extortion and all the rest that the intelligence agencies specialize in, that one of their key middlemen dating to the 1970s was Jeffrey Epstein.
Then he shows up in Iran-Contra.
Then he shows up in a, then he shows up a lot of places that Robert Maxwell showed up, Ghelene Maxwell's father, infamous Intel agent and asset.
So the big question is, do they allow the information that negatively impacts the CIA, negatively impacts MI6, negatively impacts French intelligence, with whom Epstein had long-standing and deep ties?
And of Course, the ultimate one, Masad, Israel, that he was neck deep swimming in, including that IDF force shirt, turned out not to be a fake meme shirt.
That was right found when they did the raids, the Israeli Defense Force little shirt that he had.
So, will they let that come out?
And then, will they let the Wall Street complicit parties come out?
Will they let people understand how JP Morgan and Bear Stearns and these big Wall Street trading firms are the financial liquidity for the corrupt deep state globally, including things like human trafficking and pedophiles and pederast and bribery and extortion and money laundering and arms running, but a lot of other nasty stuff that led to war and death around the world and harm in mayhem in a wide range of spaces and places,
mostly negatively impacting Israel, but not exclusive to Israel.
So, yeah, that was a real shirt because it was in his actual rated photos and all the rest.
And now, his connections to Conrad Black's connections to a range of people that he has connections to that go back to Israel, the common denominator.
Lex Wexner, Israel, Ace Greenberg, Israel.
These are the guys that you appear to have been predominant in recruiting him in, but not alone to that.
Will that intel come out?
Will that information come out?
I think they'll go to great lengths to avoid it.
And Democrats will try to make it all about Trump.
Trump will try to make it all about Democrats.
And what will get missed in the middle is that this was about a uniparty by a dual state, deep state operative who our system is, those people are so nasty and so corrupt and so just evil that they will enable and empower a pedophile and pederast to continue to abuse young girls because it matters more their ultimate global geopolitical agenda than the harm to a young girl.
So it's very deeply disturbing what it reveals about people in positions of power.
And for that reason, I suspect the full details, the real story, will probably never be told.
All right, well, let's not belabor the Epstein files.
It is what it is in the sense that we're all going to continue.
I'm going to continue running my mouth and I'm going to continue pushing for what I think is required.
And I'll continue taking some flack people thinking it's just a big hoax and Trump saying this is distracting my administration.
It's an unforced distraction.
But I do tend to agree with you, Robert.
It implicates countries and politicians and potentially donors.
And it would be wildly embarrassing.
But speaking of wildly embarrassing, Robert, you're talking about going after the deep state, which was draining the Swamp of SO 2016.
Now it's deep state.
And for a while, the incompetent borderline, potentially corrupt Pam Bonte were like, well, we got our deep state actor charged, James Comey.
I'm just checking as we go, as we're live.
I don't think they re-filed their charges that have been dismissed against Comey.
And I appreciate it.
I think they have six months.
I forget what the procedural timeframe is.
They haven't done it yet.
If I were them, I would have done it the next day so that people don't say, what the F are you doing?
Between James Comey charges being dropped, Bolton Brennan, Russia Gate, no one in jail yet, let alone even charged that have had charges stand.
What's the status with the Comey charges?
And what's going on with the righteous, what ought to be the righteous prosecution of the Russia Gate perpetrators?
Yeah, I mean, I think like one of the number one things people point out is here we are a year into the Trump administration, and not one deep state Democrat has even been arrested.
The, you know, at least officially, Comey wasn't arrested, but Comey's a Republican.
Bolton is a Republican.
So you could say Letitia James, a state official, rogue state official, but she too wasn't arrested.
She was summoned.
So her case got dismissed.
Comey's case got dismissed.
They, as you know, have a window of opportunity.
They keep trying to reinstate James' case, and it keeps getting blocked by these rogue grand juries.
So people are getting a crash course.
The DOJ bureaucracy, the FOIA departments everywhere are corrupt.
That's why they're hiding all this and running circles around the Trump administration.
He's got to replace them with conscientious people.
Pick, you know, I would pick a Mick Tom Fitton, head of the FOIA department at the Justice Department.
Then we'll get a lot more honest disclosure.
Then we'll get some, then we'll get some fun.
Then let the games begin.
You know, I had previously not gone public with this.
I told people in the administration, make sure you put good, good people in FOIA.
That's where they know all the secrets.
They're the only people who have the legal right, the legal entitlement to look at everything in their entire department, including the private emails of their boss that are sent on corporate servers, government servers.
So it's like, these are people you want on your side because they can spot where the bad faith actors are.
So forth.
Never took that advice.
Too busy screwing over whistleblowers.
That'll be one of the big cases in 2026 will be Steve Friend against Kash Patel, the former FBI whistleblowers who were promised money and settlement, never delivered.
They're going to owe millions and millions of dollars to these whistleblowers in aggregate because of their breach of their settlement agreements.
It's because Kash Patel is that irresponsible, and it appears the whole thing was a guise to try to silence them in a misdirected operation that misunderstood the ability of the FBI to control the speech of their own employees for matters that don't relate to essential duties and tasks.
But putting that aside, the other big issue that keeps, you know, you keep seeing the meme, Benghazi arrest zero, January 6th arrest, zero, Russia gate arrest, zero, spygate arrest, zero, COVID arrest, zero.
It's just all these, you know, the election 2020 arrest zero.
So all these rogue deep state actors, the big censorship efforts, there's, you know, various sanctions on European officials were taking, but no action otherwise of any arrest, no criminal prosecution at all.
You know, yeah, there it is.
You know, January 6th, zero.
Mar-a-Lago, zero.
Russia collusion, zero.
Biden corruption.
Biden pardon corruption.
Biden, auto-penned corruption, zero, zero, zero.
Epstein arrest, zero.
The Doge connected.
You know, remember Doge found a whole bunch of fraud like this Somali fraud.
They're on pace to find that until Soro Scotty Besant shut him down.
Ukraine impeachment, the second impeachment hoax, all of that Ukraine corruption.
You know, again there.
No arrest.
0-0-0.
There have been zero deep state arrests other than John Bolton and James Comey.
And they went for the low-hanging fruit in the case of James Comey.
So now what they might be doing with Comey, there does appear to be a Southern District of Florida open criminal investigation into everything.
RussiaGate, that Spygate that became the Mar-a-Lago raid that was the part of the deep state law affair that is looking at John Brennan, looking at Clapper, looking at Comey.
What they might be thinking is what I had previously recommended was that they take that Comey indictment, make it part of the ongoing deep state conspiracy against Trump.
Don't indict him in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Don't indict him in the Southern District of Florida.
Because to me, those lies and deceptions that he was doing was connected to RussiaGate, was all about covering up the efforts that he made to cover up for Hillary Clinton to interfere in the 2016 election against President Trump and then the later continued sabotage of President Trump.
It's all part of the same conspiracy.
So to me, it's a crime that was in fact also committed in the Southern District of Florida because it was part of the ongoing actions intended to hurt President Trump that culminated in that aspect.
And you can bring, for venue purposes, anywhere any aspect of the crime was committed.
And when the target was someone living in the Southern District of Florida, to me, that is, in fact, a crime that is prosecutable there.
But so we'll see.
I do believe they will bring prosecutions against Brennan.
I hope they would bring it before the year is over.
It looks now like it will go into the new year, clearly.
So, the but if those indictments don't come really soon, I mean, in the next three to four months, Pam Bonnie needs to be fired.
I mean, she already should have been fired because the Epstein file disaster and so many other disasters.
We'll get to on the Second Amendment.
She's on the wrong side on pretty much every major Second Amendment case that's coming up.
She's on the wrong side of certain First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, Seventh Amendment cases, too.
Some of these cases, they're defending government agencies, stripping people of their jury trial rights.
They're defending government agencies acting in excess of their presidential discretion or their legislative authorization.
I mean, it's amazing.
Like, she should be on the side against the administrative state, and she's constantly taking the side of the administrative state.
So, all these failures, but I do believe there will be some indictments of Clapper in the new year, or at least Brennan in the new year, the Southern District of Florida.
We'll see how broad they go.
So far, they haven't had the chutzpah to really put them.
I know Tulsi Gabber's doing major elections in the investigation of the 2020 elections.
Trump is hopeful that there'll be some prosecution.
I'm not that optimistic, but maybe.
But there again, by the way, remember when were most of those crimes?
Remember, for most federal crimes, the statute of limitations is five years.
That's most federal crimes.
When was 2020 election crimes committed?
They were committed prior to January of 2021, which means they're right about to run out on the statute of limitations.
They're on all the January 6th cases, everything that built into January 6th, the fakeness of January 6th, the phoniness of it, the Fed surrection nature of it, the instigation, infiltration in order to try to inspire January 6th to go more rogue than it did.
Those almost every single one of those statute limitations is about to end in a few days.
So, there's no evidence there'll be any accountability on January 6th.
No evidence there'll be any accountability in the 2020 election just because the statute of limitation is about to expire.
She had a year to get this done, and she completely, she completely failed on it.
Just complete whiff.
I mean, it's like I asked people, tell me what, I mean, the only thing they can cite is when the Supreme Court occasionally rules against crazy Democrats.
She deserves credit for that.
Well, I mean, it wasn't like she came up with some brilliant argument that suddenly just appeared at the Supreme Court level.
That's the only thing Mike Davis can point to.
He can't point to anything else.
He's like, pretend she deserves credit for a Supreme Court.
Really?
Really, Mikey?
Come on.
That's a joke.
There's nothing about her arguments that had anything to do with it.
Half the time, her arguments were below average, were weaker than they should have been presented, as we're about to see in the tariff context.
Now, what Mike wants is he and a few of his buddies have high levels of influence to help Mike's clients and preferred customers and policies.
He is not there to actually promote MAGA.
He is there to cover for people who are daily sabotaging the issues and policies the Trump administration got elected to implement.
I do think it is if Pam Bonte stays in the Attorney General's office, is not fired and doesn't retire, she will either be impeached or held in contempt some point in 2026.
That is coming.
So that's the other problem for Trump.
He leaving her in power guarantees that she goes through impeachment-like proceedings that constantly and continuously make the Trump administration look corrupt, look to not be transparent, look to be the opposite of transparency.
People forget late 2024, the issue of democracy, Trump won those voters.
He won those voters because they were more disturbed by the lawfare against Trump and Trump supporters than they were anything Trump had done.
Now he is way underwater with those voters because they're like, ah, you're just the same as everybody else.
Turns out that the new boss, same as the old boss.
That's how they perceive it.
Whether you're right, whether you think they're right or wrong to perceive it that way, it is how they perceive it.
And Bondi is the number one weak link on that.
The longer he keeps Bondi, the longer he gets dragged into the morass, the longer the Justice Department looks like a joke, the more damage that's done to the Trump and Republican brand for the midterms.
And it poses a constant issue.
So I don't think we'll get indictments as long as Bondi or Blanche are at the Justice Department of too many people.
I do think there will be some of Brennan, but I think either way, I think Bondi will not be here a year from now.
I think a year from now, Bondi is gone.
And probably a year and a half from now, Blanche is gone.
These people have just been the biggest disasters imaginable.
Well, the only problem is that's in the year from that's halfway through Trump's second term after the midterms when all the damage is done.
Let me read a bunch of these.
Kevin Patrick says, tell me you're indicting Jenna Griswold.
And I'm sure Colorado would let Tina Peters go.
There's no thinking from this DOJ.
Tell them you're indicting Jenna Grinswald.
We got Somali was a good place.
A lot of great, beautiful people.
U.S. military went in there in the late 80s.
It was all downhill from there.
We got sparky.
NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker is pretty stupid, but he was just the temporary U.S. Attorney General.
And we got funny, Epstein supposedly hanged himself with paper linen when he could have just used the power cord from the CPAP, which is in the picture of his cell.
I'm going to go back and look at that.
And I want to get to a bunch on Hrumble before we fall too far behind.
Chad Force says, does anyone really believe we can save our nation, our freedom?
Yes, we do.
If we didn't, we'd be in a different mode of survival.
Dominate one, dominant one says, since only voting has never in history changed a bad government to a good one, I want the fools to vote harder.

T1990, he has a YouTube channel, Connor Tomlinson, if you want to, I know, I think I know who that is, to learn more about him and to segments he did on the Lotus Eaters that are still on that site.
Connor Tomlinson.
Barry N. McGrowan says, I'll bet all Somalians in Minnesota are related to Ilahan Omar.
When it comes to the cultures of the other countries, the person you should have on to discuss the subject is Connor Tomlinson.
I see now.
Okay, finally, let me scroll.
Let me screenshot this.
Then we get a tech.
Oh, Teach All Nations says, why does Barnes say if we bomb another country, the citizens of that country will automatically come to the U.S.?
That seems like a non-sequitur.
No, it's historically what happens.
Bomb Syria.
They, you claim you have to let them all into Europe because of, you know, they're fleeing the crisis that you've created in Syria.
It's happened throughout the world.
P. Vecchio says, do you think that a war in Venezuela would benefit alternative parties like the Libertarian or Green Party?
The Democrats and Republicans both have internal conflict.
It seems like anti-war wins.

How is this every fucking episode?
It isn't, but thank you for the kind words, Randy Edward.
Conversely, prior to the Civil War, they used to say the United States are after the Civil War when they say the United States is, which puts sovereignty and citizenship in the proper light.
Lucy the Dog, could a person trade play this with Tina Peters?
Nope.
And please look up the UK police operation AIANPR, then Viva's OCD's kicking ass, and love those Sunday shows from Lucy the Dog.
Be careful with the headphones.
Favorite path for poisoning.
Robert, get into now some of the hold on some of the cases that are going before the courts where Pam Bondi is derelict of duty, to say the least.
So, you know, the big one, basically, it's we have cases in which the Supreme Court was going to decide this year that concerned the Second Amendment.
So you've got gun bans in Illinois and Hawaii.
You've got the range of, but those aren't the main ones.
Well, those are two big ones.
But many of the main ones are federal cases, federal cases where they took away gun rights because of a nonviolent conviction, because of a drug-related issue, because of some other related component.
Or in the NRA case or the National Firearms Act case, 1934, the issue there was that law was upheld previously because it was a tax.
And it was just, it wasn't gun control.
No, it was a registration and a tax.
But the Congress deliberately removed the registration and the tax so that that pretext was no longer there.
And so that's why they brought the challenge saying, okay, now the National Firearms Act should be out from 1934.
The tax excuse is gone.
There's no more excuse for these gun control laws.
And who rushes in to say, actually, we have even more authority to regulate guns than any Justice Department in history?
Pam Bondi.
Who is it that's defending all these cases that concern people that are on administrative issues or nonviolent issues, drug issues not being have the same rights as Second Amendment rights, people that are illegal, not having Second Amendment rights?
In every single case, the person saying, let's strip them of their Second Amendment rights is Pam Bondi and arguing that before the Supreme Court of the United States.
So on these Second Amendment cases, he's constantly AWOL, consistently AWOL, rarely present.
When Harmie Dillon jumps in, that's when you see positive Second Amendment advocacy out of the Justice Department, like in the Hawaii case, like I presume will occur in some of these Illinois cases.
Because you've got all these, after Bruin came down, all these cities and states decided to come up with all kinds of creative ways to restrict gun ownership, make it more restrictive in your application process.
So you can't carry them on, say, public transit.
You can't be in certain public places.
Or in some cases, ban all kinds of guns as somehow uniquely dangerous, like the AR-15, most commonly owned self-defense weapon on the planet.
Or there are various magazines that go into the gun to make the gun.
So the ATF, which has had all kinds of ridiculous restrictions and rules, finally getting critiqued by the Second Amendment community.
And who's coming to the defense of the ATF?
Pam Bondi.
So she has been an utter disaster on the Second Amendment cases.
She's been a disaster in most of these Fourth Amendment cases.
When these Fourth Amendment cases concern federal law enforcement, she's the one justifying these violations of your Fourth Amendment rights.
She's the one cheering it on and trying to expand the law to allow more of it.
She's a prosecutor and cop at heart, not a civil libertarian at heart, not a civil rights advocate.
I don't think she's ever done civil rights law in her life.
And no wonder she's incompetent at presenting it or defending it.
Somebody's in the chat's like, oh, Barnes, I guess, thinks he could do better.
Anyone could do better.
You could roll the dice out and find a random person out of the phone book, and they would be better than Pam Bondi at the Justice Department.
I mean, she is the worst.
She is the bottom of the bottom.
This is like, I mean, you're talking about somebody who wouldn't qualify to ride the special bus to school.
That's how slow she is.
So all of those issues.
And then on the administrative state, you have all these cases where the administrative state is sabotaging the elected president that is the day-to-day functionary functionary of the deep state.
These permanent bureaucrats usurping power, stripping people of their Second Amendment rights, Fourth Amendment rights, Fifth Amendment rights, Sixth Amendment rights, Seventh Amendment rights, depending on the context.
A lot of the big ones that are going up to the Supreme Court are in the Seventh Amendment context.
Why should the FCC get to just issue fines and thereby completely circumvent the right to a jury trial or any other agency for that matter?
Or for that matter, why does the judiciary get away with it?
Why do they get to sanction people for punitive purposes or deterrence purposes when anything that's monetary, where the goal is punitive or deterrence is by the Supreme Court's own law dating back almost 100 years is a Seventh Amendment right.
Well, what allows these agencies and judges to do it?
But guess who's defending them?
More often than not, Pam Bondi, Pam Barbie, Pam Bondi.
That's who pay-for-play Pam.
The only time she gets involved to dismiss a case is if somebody makes a big fat donation to some of her friends and allies.
Then, the number one whistleblower case in the country, the number one Maha case in the country is Brooke Jackson's case against Pfizer.
And who's defending Pfizer in the courts on the grounds that vaccines should never be questioned because she's lying to the courts about the change of policy at the health at the Health and Human Services Department?
Pam Bondi.
So she is a walking, talking disaster and debacle.
She's going to be a political embarrassment to the administration every day that she is there.
She is a policy underminer every day that she is there.
She is a corrupt machine causing all kinds of future impeachment headaches for the president every minute that she is there.
So those are just some of the cases where she has sabotaged the mega while she's been attorney general.
Now, Robert, I said I would get to some of the tip questions over on vivabarnslaw.locals.com.
It's Christmas, Capital All Caps Christmas, and it's either 40 or 50% off.
Basically, it's a good deal if you want to join it.

Okay, fine.
That is contact us at locals.
Thank you, Para Cleric.

Viva, so glad to hear you praising Massey.
I gave you a shit for your take on the Massey Rocana press conference that day.
Massey is the only truly honest congressman.
No, I gave a shit because I think you misunderstood what I was saying.
They didn't, they could not have been happy, or at least Massey could not have been happy with the way that press conference went.
Uh, Cash is in the office almost a year, he could have brought it up on day one, says Clout.
And Chris Kraft too, boy, I wish Chattanooga Barnes wasn't so right about Bondi.
Sadaka says, Update on my husband, Ben.
Unfortunately, he had a relapse, ended up in the ICU December 22nd.
We spent the holiday with him at the hospital.
Thankfully, he is now out of the ICU and doing better.
Hopefully, we'll see a full recovery.
Thank you for the prayers.
We will continue to prayer.
Getting out of the hospital is the ultimate goal.
ICU is just even the worst of the worst.
Would Professor Jeb Rubenfeld be a good special prosecutor on the Epstein files?
I don't know who that is, Ithaca 37.
So, Bondi's on the wrong side of the entire Bill of Rights.
What a winner.
Gray 101.
Does President Trump seriously expect Russia to accept peace under the current terms of NATO military stationed in Ukraine, seize these territories?
Article 4 commitments.
I guess we can get there in a second.
Can we find some?
Can we find some people to file KETAM for fraud in Minnesota or elsewhere?
Thank you so much for the full year.
Says Allie Michael, mighty pay.
How do we get Trump to sign up for a membership to VBL?
I even gift him a subscription.
I think his ear is there.
Vance is following, I think, us, Robert, but also certainly Roger Robert Barris, Richard Barris, Robert Barris.
I appreciate you, gents, with the case.
I have confidence that 2026 will be a happy year.
That is from Pasha Moyer.
Robert, what are your thoughts on making corporations subject to the constitution, such as not being able to suppress First Amendment speech because corporations are creations of the government?
And then we've got this meme that Elon put out the other day, which is not the other day, it was today.
It was quite hilarious.
All right, Robert.
Upcoming trials.
Tyler Robinson, Luigi, the January 6th, Patsy.
First of all, it's December 28th.
Let's start with the Patsy.
My understanding is that the Patsy was supposed to, he got a delay for his appearance because of the volume of documents that the DOJ FBI dumped on him.
Is there a chance that they dismissed the charges because there's just insufficient probable cause to even arrest him?
Well, that would require the judge to do their job, which is very rare.
But because it's a Trump case, you know, they might think it's an opportunity to screw Trump.
So they, you know, maybe they'll consider it.
To me, probable cause doesn't exist.
And I think at a minimum, they now have exonerating evidence by what Kyle Serafin has been reporting.
That was kind of one of the revelations this year.
Even though, you know, I originally, you know, I was introduced to Kyle Seraphin initially as a whistleblower, but then he was complaining about, I disagreed with him about his complaints about James O'Keefe.
Now, in the end, he ended up being a bit cantankerous personality, I think as he would admit, but brilliant insight on the FBI and investigative work.
His analysis there is really exceptional.
Very, very good.
And what he predicted about, unfortunately, about Kash Patel turned out true.
What he predicted about Dan Bongino in terms of ineffectiveness turned out true.
What he's predicted about Bondi and Blanche has turned out true.
That the key, because he knew where the bad faith actors were in the FBI and that they were getting promoted, not demoted.
And from that point on, knew they were going to get run around.
But he has done more and more evidence that this guy is innocent.
This is a Patsy.
They're trying to frame a black autistic kid with mental health issues for the pipe bombing that was likely done by a former CIA, by a current CIA officer who, or Peter Servant, who works at the CIA, who was then assigned to the Capitol Police.
I use assigned for deliberate cause in that reason because it can have two meetings.
And I think the two meetings are applicable.
I think that's what happened.
I think Kash Patel, just like on the Epstein case, they got just run.
Remember all the excuses people were giving us back then about the Epstein?
It's like, no, this is garbage handling.
This is bad methodology.
They're getting run around by SDNY and the corrupt and rogue actors in the agencies.
Now that really can't be disputed.
Why would anybody doubt what we're saying about the Patsy?
This kid is a Patsy.
His shoe size doesn't even fit.
His walk doesn't fit.
His demeanor doesn't fit.
His disposition doesn't fit.
And it may be that his phone will actually exonerate him rather than incriminate him.
So will the Patsy bomber be effectively framed by Gene Piro and Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, or will he go free like he deserves?
That's what I hope happens in that trial.
Now, the other two cases have a high jury risk.
In the case of Luigi, the big question is what will be allowed in?
The key is the bit, there's a lot of stuff that can get excluded, as long as what's in the backpack comes in, because that's where there's both his confession and the gun, in his own words.
If that comes in, he's probably cooked.
I only say probably.
I would put the highest chance of conviction out of the Southern District of New York, 75 to 80%, because a lot of the young lefties that elected Mamdani think that Luigi is a hero, which is deeply disturbing.
But imagine if that kid gets acquitted, or if the judge comes in and says what's in his backpack is excluded, because then he has a high chance of acquittal.
Then in either one of those cases happen, what message does that send?
Doesn't that send a political permission slip message for violence to increase for politicized reasoning?
That would be terrifying.
So the reason to watch that case is its broad social impact is real, not just the Fourth Amendment issues implicated in the case.
And then Tyler Robinson case may go to trial in 2026.
There'll at least be a probable cause hearing in 2026.
I hope they allow that to be publicly broadcast, that preliminary hearing, because that might have a far more detail than would normally happen in a probable cause hearing.
That would put some of the various myths and rumors to rest about Robinson, including the extensive DNA evidence, eyewitness evidence from his parents, from his partner, that he admitted culpability, responsibility, and was the guy at the scene.
So now I think there's other connected parties that should be investigated.
Who was it?
And why did they mislead the turning point about the security of that building that turning point had identified as a security risk?
Who misled them about not being allowed to have a drone there?
Was he nudged along the way in his radicalization, whether by online participants or others?
The way in which he wrote to his partner and the way in which he posted his purported confession on that board suggested to me somebody who was trying to tip off co-conspirators.
Hey, by the way, I got caught.
I'm going in.
You boys got to check out.
You boys better clean up whatever you need to clean up and just did it as if, oh, I'm confessing out of the blue.
Very odd kind of thing to do, unless your real goal is to disguise your real objective.
So I think there's still be many co-complicit, culpable parties in all of this, but we'll see.
But I think, but it will be a high-profile case, public case, a risk of jury nullification due to the work that Candace Owens is doing, trying to exonerate Robinson and the trans community and Trantifa community while trying to point the finger at almost everyone else.
I mean, well, who knows what will be tomorrow?
I mean, I know there's Egyptians, French, Israelis, the U.S. turning point, and somehow there's some sort of B's connected.
I'm not sure what the B connection is, but according to Candace, there's a B connection.
I'm just waiting for the next lunacy.
And man, we call that a what?
Well, at least I'll say, I call it.
I said she's batshit insane, everybody, before this happened.
It's like, she's nuts.
She's gone pure grifter.
And be like, oh, no, Barnes, you don't understand.
I think by now everybody can realize, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Barnes is right.
Candace Owens is batshit.
They got to put another instead of Lynn Sanity with that great meme where we're walking Lynn Wood into the nut house from one flew over the cuckoo's nest of the movie.
They got to get us with one with Candace because Candace has got to get locked up in Kookie Candace asylum sooner or later.
We'll see how that goes.
But a lot of big, high-profile trials, and these are just the ones that, you know, that are on the political front line.
There'll always be a couple of more.
The Reiner case probably won't go to trial within 2026, but that will be an interesting case to watch and observe because of the mishandling of the scene by the police in the months afterwards.
And I think he's already hired the lawyer that defended the woman in the Boston cop case.
So I think that lawyer is one of the lawyers involved.
So we'll see how that goes.
But yeah, it'll be definitely an interesting year for trials.
Excuse me.
Tyler Robinson is scheduled for later in 2026.
Luigi Mangioni's schedule is in April 2026.
I guess the one question is, we haven't had any news in the Epstein, not in the Epstein, sorry, in the Tyler Robinson investigation as to what's up with his lover, what's up with everyone else in that Discord chat.
No answers whatsoever.
I don't know.
What do you make of the lack of update of other potential involvement that we're getting in that particular case?
I think, you know, so there's a lot of talk about the FBI.
What is constantly missed is the Tyler Robinson case is being all the investigative stages of the case were broken by the local county state officials.
So the FBI literally broke nothing.
So the state officials, because it was his mother who identified him from the video footage at the scene, his father that further identified him, mother and father communicating with him that confirmed to him it was them.
The gun that was found, they identified as the gun they had given him that he had hidden at the scene.
That matches his grandfather's gun that was his gift to him.
His fingerprints and DNA were taken both from the gun and from the rooftop of where the murder where the assassin was took his shot.
He's on video footage going up to the rooftop right before the shot, running over to where the shot was taken, then is seen putting the gun underneath the towel and running off the building and down.
And so they have video footage confirmed by who is that from according to his mom, it's him.
According to his dad, it's him.
According to his lover, it's him.
He's confessed purportedly to his mom, to his dad, to a deputy director, deputy local law enforcement individual that was a family friend, confessed to his lover and partner and then confessed to a board.
So, you know, something people are like, what evidence is there born about Robinson?
Well, try the most overwhelming case in the history of public assassinations.
That's the overwhelming proof Tyler Robinson did it.
Now, the question you and I have, others have, I'll be on with Paramount Tactical tomorrow.
I'll be on with Alex Jones tomorrow, discussing this and other factors.
I'll be on at around 2 p.m. Eastern or 1 p.m. Eastern, thereabouts.
You never know.
It's somewhere in there with Alex.
And then the 8 p.m. Eastern will be on with Paramount Tactical.
You can follow him on YouTube, follow him on Rumble.
He's proving just how big the, how bad people are seeing what I already saw years ago with dealing with Candace, that she just makes stuff up and has the worst sources known to man.
Some of her sources are just embarrassingly bad.
And when you see them, you're like, oh my, that's who it was I was trusting?
That lunatic?
That nutjob?
That wacko?
I mean, this guy's got a, he's almost got like a criminal rap sheet.
Everybody he's ever met in his life, he's made miserable because of how much how much an abusive personality, but how much he's an obsessive liar that just lies all the time about anything and everything.
Changed his own name.
So he's really got a fake name, everything else.
This is who Candace is vouching for.
He just magically saw a meeting on a U.S. military base that explains the whole conspiracy.
Other garbage.
So I think, you know, the, it will be a template to how not to study a case, how not to investigate a case, how not to fall for a psyop.
Well, and just, I mean, I'll steel man people's disbelief.
They say, I don't believe the text messages.
I believe the FBI manufactured it.
I don't believe the DNA evidence.
It was the screwdriver.
How do they get DNA?
I don't believe the palm print.
I don't believe.
And then, which I can all understand, I was once robbed in Paris, but this is 1999.
And I asked the police, like, how do you detect fingerprints?
And I was like, we really can't detect fingerprints.
It's like, so why are you guys doing it?
It's like, well, we might find something.
This is, you know, 30 years ago.
I can appreciate people saying, I don't believe anything.
The flip side is, well, what the hell do you think happened then?
Was it a bullet?
Everyone, even if you don't believe the FBI, they heard the bullet come from that area.
Was it a sniper two kilometers away and not 150 yards away?
Was it from a plane?
And yet somehow people heard the, it's like they have no plausible alternative for what they currently believe.
They just suffice to say, I don't believe anything and therefore anything's possible.
But Robert, getting into the division that is now being sewn among the call it the right, the GOP, the MAGA populace base, whatever.
Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megan Kelly versus the Ben Shapiros and of the other side.
I mean, first of all, where do you think it goes in 2026?
My underlying belief is they're going to fight and they're going to tear at each other's eyes and scratch each other's faces and everyone's going to come out with their own respective bruises and scratches.
But at the end of the day, you know, I don't think any of them are going to vote for the Democrat alternative.
There was a video of Nick Flantis, and I don't know if it's AI or CGI, where he's saying, like, I'll burn it to the ground if we have to in 2028.
We're done holding our noses and voting.
Whether or not he speaks for a politically meaningful segment of the electorate, I don't see anyone on Candace's side voting for the Democrats.
Maybe I should see that.
I don't see anyone on Tucker Carlson's side other than being angry at the Ben Shapiros.
I don't see them voting for any Democrats.
But how do you think all of this infighting plays out?
Does it resolve?
And what's going to be the political impact of it?
You know, I don't think it will have much impact on the elections themselves.
So those people that say people shouldn't be blaming Candace for what evidence of the midterms, I concur with that.
My guess, we did a poll, probably still 70, 75% of Americans don't know who Candace Owens is.
So the issue that will drive the election won't be this podcaster dispute.
I think she can impact potentially the jury pool because you don't have to impact many.
You just need one or two out of that jury pool.
And the appealing part of her story to the left is to exonerate the Trantifa crowd.
And so if you studied a lot of initial Islamic reaction in Islamic radical communities to 9-11, they initially praised it.
And then when they saw most of the world respond very negatively to what happened, they went to a different default position, which was that it, that the, that Osama bin Laden had nothing to do with it.
So initially you saw in the Islamic community polling showing one in four, one in three supporting the 9-11 attacks to a year later saying, oh, bin Laden had nothing to do with it.
Israel did it.
And see, Israel did it themselves.
Israel did it themselves to him.
That kind of thing, because they had seen the reaction.
So the appeal to somebody in the Trantifa movement or someone that's ideologically aligned with Candace's pitch is, oh, yeah, it was some insider who did it.
We didn't have anything to do with that.
We couldn't, even though they went from cheering the violence to seeing the public reaction be so hostile, the next psychological step is denial.
And so then the biggest target audience of Candace's pitch is to the Trantifa community supporting community to a vote acquittal come jury trial as her one last petty act of vengeance against Charlie Kirk.
The thing with it reminds me of the movie Equalizer.
I don't remember with Denzel Washington, and he's talking to the Russian character.
And the Russian character was this kid who grew up in this abused background with a bunch of orphan homes.
Then he gets cared for by a father, and then he murders his own father, gets blamed on somebody else.
But he sits there in the Denzel Washington's character, the equalizer, one of my favorite characters of all time was from the TV show, The Equalizer.
I even used to do advertising based on that.
You know, time to equal the odds.
I just love that.
I was a little kid.
I always wanted to be the equalizer.
But he's sitting there and he's explaining, he goes, and he's playing to this character.
He goes, here's what I think happened.
I think you killed your father, not this other robbery.
And I think the reason you did it is you'd grown up being betrayed.
So you couldn't take somebody actually loving you.
You thought that had to be some sabotage was just waiting.
And rather than let the sabotage come, you took proactive action and couldn't handle, you know, Candace had, you know, her parents literally abandoned her.
I mean, it wasn't a case of grandparents raising voluntarily.
Her parents just literally abandoned her.
And you see a long history of her feeling betrayed over and over again.
Significant others, the school system, a landlord that gives her a generous deal, and then on to Prager U and then on to Daily Wire.
Anybody that has given her a big break, she is turned on at some point.
And I think it's just deeply rooted into her psychosis, if you will.
So I don't think that will ever change.
I think that will be the impact, but it won't have any impact on the election.
The big impact of the election will be, does Trump get us involved in another dumb war somewhere around the world between now and November?
And what happens to the economy?
Number two.
And number three, do people think he's fighting for them or do they think he's disconnected?
So if there's no action on lawfare, if there's no action on Epstein or no positive good action, productive action, if there's nothing on food freedom or medical freedom or political freedom or financial freedom, if it's Trump versus Big Tech and Big Ag and Big Pharma and all the rest, even if the economy isn't improving, if they think he's fighting like hell for him, they're going to be there for him come election day.
But if they think he's not there for him, he's busy with some foreign country, some foreign aid, some big donors.
Those are the only people who get protected, you know, bailing out the latest person to get walked into the room to give a special pardon for that didn't deserve it or doesn't merit it.
You know, if he stays on some of the landmines he hit in his first year and he hits those, that's what will dictate the election.
Candace Owens will be a pure sideshow for the election.
But Candace Owens can influence the possibility that Tyler Robinson gets away with it.
Very interesting.
I'm going to bring this one up here.
It says, I'm not your buddy guy.
9713 says, I'd like to take a moment to reiterate my support for calls to have Barnes as the new AG for America.
Only someone with his background, knowledge, and skills would be capable enough to save the DOJ from your mouth to God's ears.
And let's tweet it out and see.
Let me bring up our vivabarneslaw.locals.com community.
DDC6192 says, while everyone is distracted with all this BS, the silver market is going crazy, which will affect everyone's life.
The Comics oversold it actually inventory by a lot.
Okay, we got a mini, mini, what's his face here?
Ben Shapiro.
Please don't ever walk.
Okay, that's it.
Peon says, touch DNA is amazing, but I still don't think it is ready for the courtroom.
No, the video stuff is the video and the parents is quite enough for me.
Robert, great news.
You will be on with Paramount.
He mentioned on Saturday that he needs to talk with an attorney.
I asked him to have you on.
You can easily cover all the legal questions he has.
Thanks for doing that.
Roostang says, Viva, re-Mighty Pez request.
Easy fix.
Can't you just DM Don Jr.?
What was Mighty Pez's request?
In case you missed it, Scott Adams unblocked both of you.
So now he's able to pass on your – I'm going to go double-check to make sure, but I hope – I mean, that's the least of it.
I just hope he's doing as well as he can under the circumstances.
Dred Robert says, worst part is if Trump thinks people are loyal who actively working against him, is his judgment that impaired?
Generally, he's working a big ship, man.
It's tough to know what he sees as loyalty from his own perspective.
Please interview Casey Pooch says, barefoot, Jamie.
Thank you both for a great year.
I think we got this.
Okay, good.
Now, Robert, what do we move on to?
So we've got Congress, we've got the courts, and we've got a few, well, Congress and the courts, the big issues.
So we got all kinds of what issues are going to come up with Congress.
I guess we can say, do we just transition?
You know, a lot of these are going to be topics we already covered.
So it's to remind people, here's what to look for.
So they're, you know, it's a couple of minutes each.
We don't do a deep dive on each one because about 80% of these are cases we've already covered that just haven't come to decision yet, but are expected to in the next four or five months at the Supreme Court lower level or other level.
Including to a degree with Congress, well, you know, what do they figure out what's going on with healthcare or not with ACA subsidies?
Do they figure out they give special immunity to AI?
And is that such a great idea?
Maybe AI is a bubble.
There's going to be all kinds of legal controversy this coming year about data centers.
You know, their water use, their power usage, their impact on farms.
They're trying to come and take steal farms.
There's all there's efforts to use zoning laws to help AI, to use takings to help AI, to say it's necessary to have an AI data center.
So we're going to steal your farmland.
So you're going to see a lot of that in the new year develop.
Efforts by the president to try to create special immunity for David Sachs pals at AI.
Efforts afoot in Congress to create special immunity for AI.
So that's going to be a figure.
Whether they figure out anything on healthcare, I'm not overconfident.
I'm going to be up in DC to talk with some folks about here are some real specific ways that could help on that front, but don't know how much progress will end up getting made.
But as that policies, if those policies go into force, then we'll talk about them.
1776 Law Center will be featuring policy proposals at the local, state, and federal level.
1776 lawcenter.com.
We'll have a bunch of merch and other stuff too, but supporting food freedom, medical freedom, they're still going after Amos Miller.
IRS is going after Amos Miller.
Everybody's going after Amos still.
There was efforts.
Brooke Rollins, the secretary, the secretary of the head of the Ag Department, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
She has proposed starting to use federal resources much the way they're doing in the immigration context.
Say, hey, you local government, if you're going to harass people's food rights and you're going to harass farmers and you're going to abuse civil rights laws in the farm context, in the food context, then by golly, we're going to start cutting off funds and aid that can go to you.
So that could be very powerful.
So does Secretary Rollins really use the power of her office to help restore food freedom?
How much does Secretary Kennedy, what progress does he make in the big vaccine front, on the Maha front, on the healthcare cost and efficacy front?
You know, how much progress has he made?
How much progress does Tulsi Gabbard at the Office of Director of National Intelligence make in unmasking the rest of the JFK files, the MLK files, the RFK files, the election 2020 files, the Russia Gate files?
How much good work is she able to do in that capacity while avoiding us getting involved into a dumb war based on bad intel from people like CIA Director Ratcliffe, but never trust a general rule, Barnes rule, don't trust anybody who's got rat first part of his face.
So you got all of that going on on the executive side, got all what's going on the legislative side.
My question is, do you think Congress has the guts to at least impeach somebody?
Impeach one federal judge?
Do they have the balls to at least impeach Boesberg?
Well, we'll see about that, Robert.
Impeaching Bozberg or impeaching a federal judge is one thing.
I mean, the question is, and I brought up some of the screenshots, what's going to happen with the tariff case that's pending before the courts and what's going to happen with the National Guard.
Now, I did listen to your burden with Barnes earlier last week, I think, where, you know, we've been talking about this, where calling in the National Guard to protect federal buildings, federal facilities, federal employees makes sense.
Nationalizing or federalizing state police is pushing the envelope right now.
I hypothesize on my own end that this is sort of a win-win for Trump one way or the other.
He's allowed to do it.
He makes the places safer.
Good for him.
He is shut down by the courts.
Good for the states.
Now they get to be crime-ridden hellholes.
He tried, but I mean, it's pretty clear on the National Guard.
I mean, the Supreme Court, it was interim right now, but it doesn't look like on the merits Trump is going to survive.
His bid is going to survive a court challenge, nor does it look like he might survive that on the tariff issue.
The question is, what's going to be the outcome?
And the court ordered remedy in both of those situations.
Yeah, we'll be putting up picks on that at sportspicks.locals.com.
Went on a great run here post-election on a range of things on the various foreign elections, Chilean elections, other things, but also on the Epstein files, on what the Federal Reserve would do, a bunch of things on that.
So we'll have some more political prediction market picks in the new year as political prediction markets will maybe be part of the story of 2026 too, as they expand into the sports space and other space.
So where you can, one of the things you can, they actually have odds up on Cauchy on how many justices will vote for Trump on Trump tariffs.
You know, one, two, three, four, five.
So as they get more markets in the court system, in the legal system, like what's going to happen, somebody getting convicted or acquitted, is the case going to get overturned or not.
What legal ruling, that's going to open up all these new opportunities for those to put money where their mouth is in the prediction market space.
And we've had some historic success over the years at Sports Picks.
So hopefully luck will be a lady in that regard as well.
But my view on the Trump tariffs, there, it impacts all three articles of government because it's Article 1.
Does Congress have exclusive control over setting the rate of a tariff, the amount of a tariff, the nation that gets tariffed, the duration of a tariff?
Or can they delegate that to Article 2?
What part of the foreign policy component of tariff policy is indistinguishable from, say, sanctions policy?
Because they say the president doesn't have to have authority for sanctioning, but he would for tariffs.
How does that work?
That's also going to be impacted internationally.
A big case to watch is Russia has brought about 14 cases in jurisdictions around the world against Euroclear about all their money being frozen and the attempts to steal it by Europe.
Those are going to have impacts.
And all they actually got to do is win one out of the 14, given the way the law is structured in that context, by the way.
But you're going to have Moscow venues.
You're going to have Singapore venues.
You're going to have European venues.
So that'll be interesting.
You might have some blowback effect on when can the U.S. do sanctions?
And if they can do sanctions, why can't he do tariffs?
Where does that interface?
So that's an Article II power and what the scope of it is.
And then it's an Article III power to a degree because you have the court system deciding what the Article I and Article II power is.
And then that even goes further in the context of all the Humphreys executor and all the agency cases and bureaucracy cases that are going to be coming down.
Big ones.
Does the president get to hire and fire or not?
Can Congress conspire with the judiciary to take away Article II?
Can Article I and Article III decide they're going to take away Article II power?
Well, guess who gets to decide?
Article III, apparently, according to the judiciary.
What happens if Trump decides, you know, Article III has gone too far?
I got my own constitutional duties, like, say, in the immigration context, and ignores Article III.
How are they going to enforce that law?
Will we have another Andrew Jackson versus the court situation?
So all of that is coming down.
The National Guard, I agree with, you know, as we've mentioned, I'm not a big fan of federalizing local law enforcement.
So I get the idea, but I'm just, it's too dangerous.
Imagine Democrats having that power.
Not a good idea.
So using federal law enforcement to protect other federal law enforcement.
So using the U.S. What basically the Supreme Court said is, hey, you could probably still use the military, so you don't need to use the National Guard.
And you should probably do it for this reason instead of that reason.
So the reasoning you use matters as to who you can use.
And you should only go to the National Guard as sort of last resort.
And it seems like you're jumping ahead, Mr. President.
It does appear he's jumping ahead.
So I don't mind this restriction to a degree.
Now, what we've talked about for years is we're seeing the constant divide in the courts.
Three liberals, three constitutionalists, conservatives, and three institutionalists.
Kavanaugh, Roberts, and the dear other justice, I can see her.
Why am I blanking on her name?
Barrett.
Yeah, Barrett.
The, you know, that's not a very nameable name, rememberable name anything about why.
But those three are forming an institutionalist branch.
They are going to decide the future of this court.
They are going to decide the rest of this term, including tariffs, immigration, National Guard, bureaucracy, the administrative state, First Amendment, Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, Seventh Amendment, all Eighth Amendment.
We got excessive fines cases in multiple contexts coming up.
What's proportional for punishment?
Well, a lot of what these agencies do, is it proportional?
Does it violate excessive fines?
All of that, whether you have a right to beg.
So these robust cases, then also you have woke cases like woke counseling in the First Amendment context, the Colorado case we've talked about.
They're going to be making a big decision on that.
Do individuals have, do trans have special rights so they can force schools to put them on the playground, force schools to let them into the bathrooms, do schools have such power, they can transition your kids without you knowing about it.
So all of those issues also before the Supreme Court.
So that impacts First, Fifth Amendment, 14th Amendment, constitutional issues.
We mentioned all the Second Amendment issues.
Then you've got robust Fourth Amendment issues.
Can they do geofencing?
It kind of sounds like a Fourth Amendment violation to me.
They're pretending it's not a search.
Even though the government demands your phone company turn over all of your tracking records, somehow that's not a search of your records.
Somehow, it's not a search of where you've been.
They're like, oh, no, we're just searching who happened to be in this territory.
And then following up by saying, give us that phone number, give us their name, give us their whole tracking history.
Supreme Court suggested in the past, if you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in your movements, and you do, you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in your curtilage.
That's your porch, your backyard, the things right, your garden, the things right around your house.
You don't expect somebody to be sitting there staring at you all the time.
Well, it turns out the government is doing that by putting these little cameras on utility poles and everything.
They're going in and they're zooming in and saying, ooh, what's he up to?
Oh, that was interesting.
So that's what they're up to.
That sounds like a Fourth Amendment violation to me.
Supreme Court's going to decide that.
The other Fourth Amendment cases is, can they just say, hey, we're worried about you?
Let's raid your house and shoot you.
Because that's what they did in Montana.
They're like, we're worried about him.
Not that he committed any crime.
Worried about his mental state.
Didn't see him for 40 minutes.
So they decided to bust into his house and they shoot him when he comes out of the closet.
Hey, in the name of defending you, I'm going to shoot you.
I'm going to save your life by shooting you in the chest, stomach.
I mean, this is the mindset of some of these people.
Is that constitutional?
Is there just a big, huge, is there a big digital exception to the Fourth Amendment?
Is there a big emergency exception to the Fourth Amendment?
All of that is going to be decided this term.
Then you have the Fifth Amendment takings issues, which they've been getting away with this forever.
This is one of the big cases we talked about, they took.
There's some other cases they may take about the process and procedure and how these local and state governments screw you by making you go through this cumbersome process whereby you never get fully reimbursed.
For those who don't remember the big case, this is a case where they came in, taxed somebody $2,000, controversial tax, by the way.
Their house was supposed to be exempt from this particular tax.
They tax them $2,000.
Then they go and do a sale, auction on the sale of the property up that the guy dies and owns a home, and they sell it for like $80,000, and they keep it all.
They don't even give the excess back to the owner of the property or his inheritors.
But not only that, the auction was done in one of these sweetheart inside deals, right?
What happens?
The local government gets together.
They talk to these people.
These people, we're going to have an auction.
Usually only their buddies show up and they get to get like a $300,000 house for $80,000.
So what about the fair market value?
All of that's going to, what does the words just compensation mean?
It doesn't say compensation.
It says just compensation in the Fifth Amendment.
To me, that means the fair market value of the property that they took from you.
So, but that's going to be a big case along with some other related takings cases this term.
Then you have the Sixth Amendment cases in the grand jury context and what evidence is permissible and can be reviewed in the habeas context and what's efficacy of counsel from a criminal defense perspective in the criminal context.
The Seventh Amendment, all the different agencies that are stealing your property in different ways.
Can they just issue fines without going through a jury trial process when historically, if it was meant to, if it was money meant to punish or deter, it required a jury trial before you could be assessed a monetary judgment against you?
These agencies have been completely ignoring that at every level of government.
It would be great if we restored the Seventh Amendment the way Justice Gorse was talked about several years ago, and it appears to be back on the upswing.
That may happen.
That would be huge for our Constitutional Republic just to restore the balance of power by giving it back to ordinary people and away from the administrative bureaucrats who've been proven completely inimical to your constitutional rights and liberties and protection of your property.
Then we have the elections cases about, you know, can they do when can they do mail-in balloting?
That's huge.
When can the voting rights act allow them to racially discriminate against white people?
If that ends, that could totally reshape the midterms.
The biggest decision that will impact the midterms is the Voting Rights Act decision, because it may require the states to go back and redistrict in ways that could give Republicans another as many as 20 housing.
That's how big that decision can be.
And then you have when is campaign finance campaign speech to the degree that you can't constrict it or constrain it in the way that it currently has that favors the donor class maintaining a de facto monopoly over our political class.
And then you got the immigration cases, which are birthright citizenship.
The National Guard, as you mentioned, can he use National Guard to enforce local law?
Can he use National Guard to at least defend ICE in the process?
Or should he does he have to use the military first in that process?
How is that going to work?
Is he going to use the military to enforce drug law overseas like he appears to be doing currently in bombing boats in Venezuela and elsewhere?
And then you got all the deportations, all the due process surrounding deportations.
Do we restore the original assumption that someone who's a trespasser in the country does not have constitutional rights like a citizen or someone who is legally here?
That big those about the expediency with which he can operate deportations is going to be controlled by the judicial branch of government because they'll have the budget to do whatever he needs.
So all of that and more in the new year.
Robert, we're going to go over to locals right now a little early just because I've got about 20 some odd family members who are waiting for me to join for the dinner.
And we're going to have our locals after party.
I did want to bring this one up because it's kind of funny.
Where was it?
You two remind me of Mark Levin and Howard Stern.
Fucking idiots here watching a D-class of everything.
I don't even know what that means.
Robert, what I guess, okay, everybody get your butts over to locals.
Christmas, all caps, if you want to join.
It's not behind a paywall right now.
This is what I wanted to bring up here.
Sorry, let me bring this one out and bring this one up.
David, contrary to popular belief, Bridget McConnell is suing Candace Owens for saying Bridget stole her late sister's identity, not for saying Bridget's born a man.
Does that matter?
It's a number of things.
Barnes and I have gone through all, well, and he's gone through, you know, at length all of the allegedly defamatory statements.
For me, call it confirmation bias.
It doesn't matter.
She is saying as her theory that she they committed, like you know, that they're partaking in some sort of murderous cabal, et cetera, et cetera.
My argument is everybody says the same thing of Hillary Clinton, of the Arkansas list.
If that becomes defamatory and not what everyone regards as one person's crazy or less than crazy conspiracy theory, then a lot of people, everybody who says Hillary Clinton killed what's his face, Vince Foster, defamation per se.
So I think when she says those things, everybody understands it to be what it is, her personal theory.
Robert, we're going to have one hell of an awesome year.
What do you have coming up this week for Rumble before we take this party over to viva barnslaw.locals.com?
Uh-oh, I don't know if Robert froze.
That's just on my end.
Oh, you're still on mute.
So, yeah, for the after party, we'll cover Steve Bannon goes to the Supreme Court to figure out what's the definition of willful and does he get to challenge the nature of the congressional committee.
We'll be interesting.
The Supreme Court takes that case.
Big venue case will discuss, does the Southern District of New York have in perpetuity venue because the stock market happens to be physically located there, even though nobody trades stocks on the floor anymore.
And when are truckers exempt from the Federal Arbitration Act if they're just operating within a state's borders, which may have broader impact on the meaning of the Interstate Commerce Clause in other constitutional contexts because the statute is the same.
The fourth and a fourth bonus case, when is a traffic stop no longer a traffic stop such that they can seize you and arrest you?
So we'll be covering that court.
And the fifth bonus case, jailed for asking and publishing questions to cops in San I think outside San Antonio.
So those are some of the fun bonus cases we'll have over at vivobarneslock.locals.com.
Tomorrow, I'll be up with Alex Jones, the one and only Infowars, to cover the legal landscape, including Queen Candace and the like, on InfoWars.
And then at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, we'll be on both YouTube and Rumble.
Paramount Tactical, a guy that knows tons about guns and security.
You know, is in West Virginia, guy, really cool gun backup.
Looks like the kind of guy you'd want in a foxhole defending you.
So he's been covering this in great detail.
We'll be going over with him a bunch of issues related to Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk murder.
Then on Tuesday, 3 p.m. Eastern Time, Viva's usual time and spot, we're going to have a special guest sidebar, Larry Johnson of Sonar 21.
This is the Larry Johnson that has broke the incredible corruption scandal that the American media is doing everything possible to hide, which is the Ukraine corruption of billions and billions and billions of dollars doesn't just implicate various corrupt Ukrainian officials who are busy negotiating a deal with the FBI, as we speak, busy negotiating, busy hiding out in Israel, busy on the lamb in different parts of Europe.
It implicates European officials, EU officials, implicates Estonian and European banks, but that's not all.
Implicates Senator Lindsey Graham, Lady Lindsay, Queen of the War Whores, who's always inviting us into his brothel of blood of eternal war.
He apparently is directly monetarily tied to the corruption scandal of Ukraine.
So, but Larry Johnson has the details of that more long former CIA officer, Sonar 21 Substack is really excellent, covers the world and geopolitics.
But it was his business partner that helped uncover this and discover this, report it.
It's now under Pentagon investigation.
But we'll have the exclusive interview with Larry Johnson Wednesday, 3 p.m. Eastern Time here on Viva's channel.
I love, it's pissing people off that I don't put it on mute when I type.
I apologize.
All right, people.
So next week's going to be good.
It's going to be regular.
I'll see you all Tuesday, but we're going to go over to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
Not behind a paywall.
NeuroDivergent, I think we're going to go raid Eric John Pizza.
I'm going to leave that to NeuroDivergent, who has been very, very helpful for us, Robert, over on Rumble.
So I'm going to disconnect from CommiTube.
That's Rumble.
That's YouTube.
And then I'm going to disconnect from Rumble as well.
So hold on, remove.
Don't delete.
Just end on YouTube.
Now we're going to go end on remove X from this stream.
Okay, X is gone.
Remove.
And we're going to finish it off with Rumble.
Before you go, guys, I don't know who are we raiding.
We're going to raid somebody.
We'll see.
Make sure you subscribe before you go.
Now we're going to have our after party.
And I'm going to end it on Rumble right over here.
Remove.
Okay, remove.
