Time Text
Installment of foreigners saying fundamentally anti-American things, I present to you billionaire tech entrepreneur Shlomo Kramer, who pulled an Arnold Schwarzenegger and said that one must actually encourage the government to censor freedom of speech in order to protect freedom of speech.
If that sounds so bloody stupid, you're wondering if you're hearing crazy talk, I present to you Shlomo Kramer.
Behold!
It's difficult to hear, but it's time to limit the First Amendment in order to protect it and quickly before it's too late.
What do you mean?
I mean that we need to control the platforms, all the social platforms.
We need to stack rank the authenticity of every person that expresses themselves online and take control over what they are saying based on that ranking.
The government.
The government should.
Ladies and gentlemen, if I blew out your microphones because I didn't realize that my audio was jacked up to 11, I apologize.
Do I need to jack it up a little more?
I may have lowered it a little too much.
I'm back in my studio, so I have to tinker with dials until we get it to the perfect balance.
That might be the most annoying thing anyone, especially an American, can have to listen to.
At the same time as JD Vance railing against Europe for its totalitarian war against free speech, the UK for locking up tens of thousands of people for social media posts, rigging elections, fixing elections, annulling elections.
You now hear Israeli Tel Aviv-based, at least from what I can tell, still an Israeli citizen, Shlomo Kramer, not just talking about internet censorship at large.
I was waiting for the fact checkers to say, well, no, he was just talking about online censorship.
He wasn't talking specifically about the First Amendment.
No, this is, I don't care what country the person comes from.
I don't even care if the person is a naturalized American citizen.
Just by way of example, throwback to the COVID days.
Do we remember where was this one?
When Arnold Schwarzenegger, infamously now, came out and said, screw your freedoms.
Like you imagine you have someone basically telling you, as a naturalized citizen, no less, screw your freedoms.
Where is it?
I want to play the Arnold Schwarzenegger one.
Why can't I find it?
I have it right.
No, that's not it.
Well, that's weird because I have it right here.
Hold on just one second.
We're going to bring it up because it's good to jog the memory.
It's not because it's an Israeli accent.
To do social distancing, washing your hands all the time, and not just to think about, well, my freedom is being kind of disturbed here.
No, screw your freedom.
Screw your freedom.
He had the good sense to apologize for that.
But you got Shlomo Kramer telling you that in order to protect the First Amendment, you need to violate the First Amendment.
I could swear it was literally a Babylon B headline at some point in time.
I would say serenity now, but it seems increasingly impossible to have serenity.
We thought 2026 was going to be the year of justice, the year of retribution.
Thus far, it looks like it's going to be exactly like 2025, which was still better than 2024.
But the shit that's going down now, we're going to get into it a little bit today.
In fact, we're definitively going to get into it after we talk about the Hunter Biden stuff.
Brian Cole Jr., the autistic 30-year-old man who allegedly put together the pipe bombs, allegedly planted the pipe bombs, managed to evade arrest in the police for five years because they stopped looking for him, yada, yada, yada.
Who couldn't really get indicted by a grand jury?
And so they went by way of criminal complaint affidavit.
They wanted to lock him up in jail pending trial because he's such an unmitigatable risk to the community.
And when they were presenting those arguments, I'm like, there's no way in hell that a judge is going to do that.
And lo and behold, the judge did that today.
We'll get to it.
Brian Cole, you want to know what motivated reasoning looks like by way of judgment?
I'll put together a car vlog, or maybe I'm going to start doing chair vlogs, pop out a chair and talk about how crazy the world is going, order detained until trial.
But we're going to get there in a bit.
Do you remember Garrett Ziegler, Marco Polo?
Where's my blinder?
Oh, I'm not going to.
I got something on it.
Got a couple of stuffs on this thing I don't want to knock over, but I'm going to anyhow.
You all remember this work?
I'm not even going to open it because it looks like a.
If you mixed pornography and horror, that's what the Hunter Biden laptop would look like.
Marco Polo, Garrett Ziegler, put together the Hunter Biden laptop, did research that was impeccable.
And it's not even research.
It's categorizing, documenting.
And then he got sued by Hunter Biden for various reasons.
Garrett Ziegler from Marco Polo is going to come back on today.
First of all, I forgot this is the first show in the new year.
Happy New Year.
Nothing but good things in 2026.
Health and happiness, people.
And let's see if it happens.
Garrett, sir, how goes the battle?
Happy New Year, David.
This is great.
Great opportunity.
Can you hear me well?
I can hear you well.
I'm going to see from our locals community if they like the audio levels.
And if not, I can tinker one versus the other.
And yes, they're not correcting me.
Arnold Schwarzenegger did apologize for that.
I don't know that Shlomo Kramer is going to apologize for...
It sounds like he's in America on MSNBC, no less, telling Americans they have to violate the First Amendment.
All right, Garrett, sorry, we'll get into everything here.
No, I want to talk about all those topics.
Hunter sued me, but also last week you covered this lawsuit that is attempting to be dropped by his sugar brother.
And the Shlomo character before, he's repulsive.
I mean, like you said, that type of language inspires Jew hatred because it feeds into the stereotypes that they want to control the media.
Who does this guy think he is?
You know, it's one thing if an American says it, David.
It's one thing.
We can debate.
But when a foreigner says it, there should be no debate.
I mean, he is a citizen of a foreign country.
So if he wants to enact those policies in his country, he's free to do so, right?
We just don't want to have anything to do with him.
But I wonder what the motivation is.
I've always been interested in CNBC.
My old boss, Peter Navarro, went on there all the time.
It's an interesting outlet.
I wonder how Shlomo got on there today.
Meaning, I wonder if he has some sort of if he pays to be on there, because I don't know why you would want his take.
I mean, with Peter.
Yeah, go ahead.
No, I can tell you, they want his take because it's the question of presuading and normalizing that type of rhetoric.
MSNBC or MSN, whatever the hell that one was, would love to be.
CNBC.
CNBC.
They would love it because it would allow them to regain the foothold that they lost because of the Wild West nature of the internet.
It is presuating, normalizing the insanity.
And like you say, it's interesting.
I'm a Canadian.
I'm here.
One day, hopefully, we'll be a naturalized American citizen.
If I were to say things that are pro-constitutional, like, yes, you have a constitution, you have to respect it.
It's one thing for a foreigner to affirm the constitutional founding documents of a country.
It's another thing for a foreigner, even a naturalized one, to then say, I want to now desecrate the very documents and the very culture of the country that has taken me in.
And it's not to say I'm, you know, assimilate and say everything that the government wants you to say, but you come into a country, even as a naturalized citizen and want to destroy that country, you're opening the door to people saying, well, let's denaturalize these citizens that are destroying the very fabric of the country that welcomed them in, let alone a foreigner in Israel, the country that vaccinated the most people per capita, as far as give or take, that went full green past full tyranny, full human experimentation for the benefit of Pfizer, now saying, yeah, Americans, your country should look more like ours.
And the Americans are saying, we don't want it to look like yours.
It's breathtaking in one respect.
I do appreciate this one thing, though.
He is saying what he feels.
And he's not being, you know, the word subversive implies that somebody is doing something in the open that is not actually their goal, right?
That they have an ulterior motive.
One useful thing with this CNBC clip is that he is putting his cards out on the table and he says, this is what I want to occur.
And I don't want to use the word respect because that implies reverence and a desire to emulate somebody, right?
When you respect them.
But I do appreciate that he is very blunt with his prescription.
I detest it.
It's despicable.
And it'd be one thing if there were multiple Americas out there, a place where you he mentioned the First Amendment, but obviously the Second Amendment is very dear to me.
And I think that the Second Amendment keeps the First Amendment alive.
But there are no other Americas.
Some of the most advanced countries in the world, places where science is at its zenith, you cannot own a handgun without Big Brother okaying it.
And you can only hunt with it on the weekends.
I was just in the Netherlands two weeks ago, and they have to get a proof.
Some guy's dad, I was talking to him, there's a right-wing party there that I very much admire, FVD, Forum for Democracy.
And he said that his dad basically has to go get the gun from a lockup and that he can hunt on the weekends.
And so, and these are, these are first world people.
These are people who do not defecate in holes or rivers.
And they're very advanced.
They have the national champion, the world champion in semiconductors.
The Chinese can't even beat these people.
ASML, Peter Navarro will know all about that company.
You probably know all about that company.
It's in southern Holland.
ASML is the most advanced semiconductor company on the globe.
The Chinese are trying to copy it.
Even the Americans are trying to copy it.
So these are not unsophisticated people.
And yet, they don't even trust their own people with firearms.
I go into that diversion to state: if we lose it here, it's gone.
It could be gone for decades.
It could be gone for centuries.
And it brings me solace and a warm feeling in my heart to know that there are over a billion firearms in this country.
Because that means if they are, if Shlomo and his ilk are to influence our government, they're going to have to come through a billion firearms.
I know Joe made that pithy comment in the Lincoln room, David, about they're going to have to need an F-35 if they want to take on the government.
That's the father of the guy we're litting against said that against his own citizenry.
Yes, but guess what?
Most of those F-35 pilots are not going to go along with it.
The F-35 pilots are like some of my cousins, the dudes with 40 assault rifles at home, right?
So Joe, if he wants to do the F-35 and bomb his own citizens, this is his words, not mine.
I'm not being hyperbolic.
If he is to go that route, they're going to have to convince the normally conservative fighter pilots to bomb their own citizens.
That's how high the stakes are.
So.
Well, even if people say that, and I was going to pull up the tweet, the infamous tweet from Eric Swallow, who said, well, you know, you've got firearms and we've got nukes.
Well, the reality is even during Vietnam, America bombed the living hell out of Vietnam, still managed to not be able to take over the country, specifically because of the small arms on the ground.
Like you can't, you can, you can bomb areas.
You can't bomb corners of streets.
And if you want to occupy or fully submit, it requires a street presence.
And so it is true that firearms basically allowed certain countries to remain free or fight.
Truly.
And if they want to go the nuclear route, then it's a mutually assured destruction.
So I think that the use of nuclear weapons is always on the table.
It's sort of a mind game.
But if you live there too, so Joe's hypothetical was that these Second Amendment absolutes, Hussein called them bitter clingers in 2012 at a campaign stop.
He said that people with their guns in their Bibles are bitter clingers.
So if those bitter clingers are to be extinguished, you're going to be extinguishing a section of your own regime geographic-wise.
So I think if you can't, then, so that takes nukes off the table, then you're using, you know, firearms again, and we win that battle just by sheer number.
I know this is not directly related to Shlomo, but it's downstream.
Shlomo's ideas are what caused people to have to resort to that.
And it just goes back to they want to create a stateless world where we're all in the same state and just have maybe different flags for the sake of parochialism.
But, you know, this rules-based international order is the enemy.
And it's what caused our work with Marco Polo.
Because I think the people in this book and the people that you talk about every day, they are the ones on the ground floor instituting the policies that make us inch ever so closely towards that stateless world.
And it's disgusting.
And us with kids, you know, we have no choice but to go against it.
So I saw your caption for this show.
I'm appreciative of you letting me on.
Hunter's case with me has been dismissed at the district court level, but we're appealing that dismissal to the Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals because we want our legal fees reimbursed.
So that's in the federal court system.
But what you covered on the 22nd or 27th, I believe, I watched the clip.
That involves somebody who I think is even more, in some ways, more dangerous than the Bidens, which is this benefactor, Kevin Morris, the lawyer for the South Park creators.
Before we even get there, not the presumption of knowledge.
Some people might be new.
Of course.
Get us into the lawsuit itself.
So there were, you were being sued twice in two different districts.
I have to refresh my own memory on this.
Yeah, one at the state level.
Okay, and I remember.
Morris is at the state level.
Morris's state level.
Hunter was at the, well, who was financing Hunters at the federal level?
Same person.
Morris.
Okay.
And so I do remember that because when you came out, everyone was like, okay, he's dropping his case.
But when you're a defendant and you claim legal fees for abusive proceedings or I don't know if it was a slap basis in that case, they don't get to just drop their case and walk away.
And you incurred, I think it was over a quarter of a million dollars in legal fees that you wanted to oppose the dismissal to the extent that it would have been a dismissal without covering your legal fees.
That was at the federal level.
That's at appeal right now because you didn't get what you wanted the first time.
At the state level, remind everybody what who were you who was suing you by party?
Because I don't think it was, it wasn't Morris.
He was just acting as a proxy for Hunter, right?
Well, no, Morris himself sued us at the state level.
So again, I'm not a litigious person by nature.
I always think back to that quote that Andrew Jackson, who's one of my favorite presidents, his mom gave him.
She said, Andy, never tell a lie or steal anything and don't slew and don't sue people for slander.
Settle those cases yourself.
So I've always, I hate litigation.
Let's start off with that.
Did he mean settle them yourselves as in kill the person or settle it?
Well, in the 21st century, it would mean something different to Andrew Jackson.
It would have been a duel, or he had a big buddy who, this has been written about a lot, who owned a newspaper, and Jackson would put out polemicals.
I'm a very polemical person.
So it's more like, you know, beating them at their own game of using logic and reason to dispel the myths and the lies that they tell about you.
Jackson wasn't perfect, but he did a masterful job of that.
So I want to preface this with, I hate litigation.
I'm not a litigious person.
However, these people sued me for, at the very least, $60 million.
And the Morris case involves five causes of action, two of which have already been dismissed at the trial court level and the appellate court level.
The doxing was dismissed at the trial court level, and then civil harassment was dismissed at the California appellate court level.
I remember the Morris one now where he was accusing you of having lie having lied about your identity in order to dupe him into releasing information that yeah.
So a friend of mine, a former friend actually, not me, catfished him and over the course of days, coaxed out information from him brilliantly.
I don't communicate with the guy anymore, but nevertheless, I'm a straight shooter and it was a brilliant catfishing.
I had nothing to do with it.
I didn't coach the person of how to catfish Morris, but he catfished him and he got Morris to reveal information about his client, Hunter Biden.
Well, then that person sent that to me and I sent it to the New York Post, Miranda Devine, and she puts it on the cover and he gets mad.
And when you're Kevin Morris, who, by the way, just inked a $1.5 billion deal for the South Park creators with Paramount, I mean, this guy is top of the line Hollywood scumbag, top of the line, probably half a dozen most powerful attorneys in the city.
And that's the entertainment capital of the globe.
He sued me then, and he lied in the lawsuit.
He should be disbarred for this alone.
He knows he wasn't communicating with me.
Get this, David.
He didn't even submit the phone number of the person who was texting him because he knows that it's not going to resolve back to me.
I'm a PI.
We have a PI on the board.
If he would put that in the lawsuit, we'd run the number back to the carrier.
Yeah.
And this is where, like, in the practice of law, I don't know what it's called in the States.
You'd ask for a motion for particulars.
You say, you've alleged this at the following paragraph.
Please specify the cell number from which it comes.
And if they refuse to do it, then the case gets dismissed for their failure to comply with emotions for particulars or disclosures.
And if it's of bad faith, at least in Quebec, you can potentially get your legal fees.
And so this guy, Morris, says you, Marco Polo, not someone you know acting not on your behalf because they wouldn't be an agent, does it?
He says, you did it, but I'm not telling the number in my lawsuit because that would allow you to demonstrably prove it wasn't you.
Precisely.
And he thinks that the trial court and the district court judges are both corrupt.
So they didn't make him even at the anti-slap level because that's how we're potentially going to get legal fees from Morris.
So now, and I just want to say the three causes of action remaining, all three of them are ridiculous, David.
But the most ridiculous one, the one that I want to harp on for your audience.
And sorry, I drink so much coffee.
I'm starting to shake.
I need to get some food in me.
I drink like 12 cups of coffee a day.
It's my only advice.
The one that raises my blood pressure is intentional infliction of emotional distress for several reasons.
Number one, I do believe that there should be a tort in the United States for IEED.
I do think that if somebody kills your child or does something legitimate, you have a claim for emotional distress if you can prove it.
This is abuse of the process.
Basically, Morris got catfished, took the anger out on me, and in his warped view of the U.S. Constitution, he gets to sue you if you make fun of him.
This is a 62-year-old individual saying, this person made me have emotional distress.
Go take his money from him.
It's an absolute abomination.
If I could cuss on this program, and I don't want to because my mom watches everything I do, the absolute effing gall of this man-child who looks like the Geico caveman to throw his money around and say, this guy's hurting my feelings.
He's hurting my feelings.
I mean, he's just despicable.
And yeah, go ahead.
No, because just to highlight this, I mean, I was going to make the glib remark.
Well, everybody saw that they successfully did it to the tune of, I don't know, a billion dollars in the Alex Jones case.
That was the basis of one of their claims was intentional infliction of emotional distress.
In that case, people can say, well, I can understand the basis of the claim because he made certain statements which were false.
Yeah, and people died.
Right.
Nobody died in the Morris case.
Nobody ended up.
And it's funny.
People still think Alex Jones had something to do with the actual Sandy Hook massacre.
Set that aside.
In your case, all of the statements are accurate.
What it effectively revealed is that Morris is an idiot who will, you know, without coercion, reveal client information.
He revealed client information.
And the reason why I could accurately state that he was threatening me is because in that moment, he thought he was communicating with me.
He didn't.
And I offered an unrebutted sworn statement.
I even put in a declaration, which is always risky, in the anti-Slap motion saying I did not message him.
But he thought it was me at the initial period.
And he said, I know where you live.
I'm coming to get you.
I'm suing you and taking all of your money.
You're going to clean my car for the rest of my life.
I'm going to empty your parents' savings.
He said all of this.
This is all in the public record.
We put it on our Telegram channel, everything.
Even the Daily Mail covered this.
There's been about 20 to 25 articles about this litigation.
Nothing occurred.
He sued me for harassment.
Nothing ever happened.
He said that he was fearful because we tracked his airplane.
It's all ridiculous.
We found it through FlightAware, that free tool.
We looked up, we're PIs.
We looked up his LLC.
The LLC bought the G5 and we were just tracking the G5 because Hunter was on the plane all the time.
That's not harassment.
We weren't saying, hey, go bomb this plane out of this guy, right?
All we were doing was tracking it.
It's a hobby.
A lot of airplane trackers have full-time ADS-B antennas where they track planes.
So it's all preposterous.
But he wanted to make an example out of me.
And the reason why he's trying to drop the case now, which was the reason for your clip a couple days ago, is because we threatened to depose Ashley and Joe.
So that's the news.
And it was in the New York Post article.
Ashley and Joe are mentioned explicitly in the lawsuit.
And that's why this case is so ridiculous is because the lawsuit was brought for an improper purpose.
I know you mentioned language in Quebec that's analogous.
This lawsuit was essentially brought on behalf of Ashley Biden.
They wanted to punish me and try to bankrupt me for transcribing.
My group, Marco Polo, the one that published this book, transcribed Ashley's diary.
We didn't have anything to do with its release or theft.
We just found it online via PDF like every other person with an internet connection.
But we took months to transcribe it because she had chicken scratch-like handwriting like a physician.
And I couldn't make out what she was saying.
So we transcribed it and put it on our site and millions of people have viewed it.
And again, this reaction video that I'm doing tomorrow with the five-hour interview that I don't even call it an interview, this discussion that Sean Ryan had with Hunter Biden, they don't even, those writings from Ashley go unrebutted.
Ashley apparently did not take appropriate showers with her own father.
Hunter didn't even offer an explanation for that, even though he brought up the diary on his own volition and said that Don Jr. had something to do with this theft, which was ridiculous, which was not even the case.
So my point is, is that this was an improper lawsuit.
And the reason why they're dismissing it now is because of two reasons, chiefly, David.
Number one, something is not how they expected it to be.
They expected Joe to still be in power and for Joe to have the White House for four more years when they brought this in April of 2023.
That did not occur because of his dementia and everything else.
So they didn't expect to have to be deposed in this lawsuit because they expected me to already be bankrupt by this point, right?
They expected for the half a million dollars between the two suits, that's how much we've spent, to bankrupt me personally, not the nonprofit entity, but me personally by this point.
And so they expected me to cry uncle so they wouldn't ever have to go through these depositions.
But because through the grace of God and our patrons who've given to our defense fund, I hung on for over two years.
And so they are trying to dismiss it now.
And we're saying, yeah, we want to dismiss, but only with prejudice and for a legal fee reimbursement so that Morris ends up funding Marco Polo for 2026, which would be a glorious irony.
And I know that I'm on a solido here and I want to have this be a discussion, but that's the background for nobody who is aware.
We are the only group involved with the Biden laptop that was ever sued besides the shop owner.
And that suit ended months ago.
But we have been a burr in their side.
And I just want the audience to understand, David, that we're a very conservative group, not just in compartment, but in writing.
We don't stretch the truth at all, okay?
Morris and Hunter have never said that we've lied about them.
We haven't been reckless.
We don't put something out there unless we have clear and convincing firsthand evidence of it.
And that's what this laptop contains, which is why that conversation with Sean Ryan was so ridiculous.
Because sometimes when people lie, David, you cannot disprove their lies, right?
Proving a negative is not always possible.
When somebody lies sometimes, you may not have primary source evidence refuting it.
But guess what?
We do in Hunter's case, which is why I found that discussion so offensive and which is why I like going on your program because we get in the weeds of what the primary source evidence is and what criminal activity we can definitively state that Hunter and Morris were engaged in.
Remember, Morris, Hunter keeps saying that he paid off his back taxes with penalties and interest.
That was just Morris's money.
And everyone, I mean, it seems people are probably thinking, like, why is this even relevant now?
Biden's era is over.
I mean, on the one hand, it's going to dovetail into the fact that there's been no accountability for that four years of lawlessness.
But everyone can remember that Hunter Biden was being paid, on the one hand, you know, the $50,000 a month from Burisma and all sorts of otherwise revenue that was undisclosed to the point where at one point he was ordered to pay, I don't know, half a million or a million dollars in back taxes.
And it was Morris that paid it for him.
And they papered it over through a loan.
It's sophisticated laundering.
When I said Morris is more sophisticated, these are heavy hitters.
Morris was, you know, went to NYU law, went to Cornell undergrad.
His wife is even more powerful than him.
Morris's estranged wife.
They haven't been together since like 2018 just because he's so, he's so ridiculous and he's smoking pot all the time.
Remember that picture of him with the bong on his porch?
Gabby Morgerman is his wife.
Didn't take his name.
And she is the agent for Miley Cyrus and a bunch of other A-list celebrities at William Morris.
So she is a high-powered agent.
And so what I'm trying to say is, is that that was the push, that left-wing push helped shield Hunter and thereby put Joe in the White House.
So in an indirect way, not direct, because we have to be accurate, in an indirect way, Morris helped 20 million illegals get into the country because he helped bury that Hunter story by paying the back taxes.
And they did it through a clever way.
They did it to where they backfilled and papered over a loan.
So Morris gave him the money.
And then years later, months later, they said, oh, yeah, that money of Morris's that Hunter used to pay his taxes, that was a loan.
Oh, and by the way, Hunter, you don't have to start paying that back till 2025 after your daddy's done with his first term.
Absolutely hilarious.
A couple of years to pay back a loan until it becomes deemed income.
I think it's two years in Canada.
And if you don't pay back the loan, you pay taxes on it as though I don't know if it was capital gains or just income.
Well, that's the key thing.
Morris could have committed tax fraud.
If Hunter has, if he forgave that loan, and we don't have visibility into this now, if the lawsuit keeps going, believe me, we will have visibility into it.
We'll start subpoenaing the trust, bank accounts, and everything.
Unless he pays us for the reimbursement, that could be a huge tax liability.
And remember, Morris just didn't pay the back taxes.
He paid Hunter's living expenses and his lawyer bills.
So he paid for Hunter to have a palatial Oceanside rental house for the past couple of years.
And he also paid Abby Lowell, the demonic attorney who you know very well, who's locking arms with Norm Eisen, another demon.
They paid Abby Lowell to go after me and sue me for ridiculous claims, like hacking.
I'm not a hacker.
I'm not a tech guy.
So these are very dangerous, horrible people.
And it's relevant because what Joe did in some ways and in some key policy areas, David, is incurable.
Until we deport every last one of those illegal aliens, Joe's reign and the people around him are always relevant.
I want to bring this up.
I didn't realize Abby Lowell.
I've never, first of all, I always just found his last name funny.
I think I thought Abby was a woman.
This is Abby Lowell, American Defense Attorney Representative.
Several high profile defendants.
Yada, yada.
Yet, Bob Menendez, John Edwards, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Hunter Biden.
How do you have?
I mean, that's good.
He's got a very he's well.
Can I say something?
I know more.
I love that you brought his page up.
I know more about Abby Lowell than anybody on earth besides his family.
I sat nine hours across.
I'm telling you, I sat nine hours across the table from that guy in a deposition because what really got them, what started their law affair against me, is that I was brought on by the attorneys for the mother of Hunter's child.
I was the expert witness in Hunter Biden's child support case down in Arkansas in 2023.
That really was what started blowing things up when it came to Hunter.
That everyone discovered he was trying to stay.
You can thank me, man.
I'm not even being hubristic.
I'm saying I pushed this.
I'm a small guy.
Well, I'm not small, but I'm average.
I'm like 5'11, 180.
But average.
The left hooks that I, the figurative left hooks that I have delivered to this family over three and a half years, it's not malice.
It's just the truth.
I have pounded them.
Have spread the contents of that abandoned laptop across the fruited plains more than anybody in the Western world.
And so they have to hate me.
But now, but their reasons for hating me are not legitimate.
If I said something false about them, right?
If I broke the eighth commandment and spread false witness against my neighbor, that is, you know, that would be abominable.
But they're just hating me because I'm telling the truth.
And instead of changing their actions, instead of amending their ways as the Lord calls us, they are digging down deeper into their duplicity and sinfulness.
And they haven't changed a bit.
You saw the way Hunter lied so smooth.
Get this, David.
At this very moment, Hunter Biden owes his ex-wife $3 million.
He owes Kathleen $3 million in back pay.
Why is he doing a five-hour podcast, man?
No, no, no.
That puts non-politically connected people in jail.
Of course.
Let me ask you one thing.
It was about Hunter Biden.
It was going to be about the, oh, for goodness, I forgot.
It'll come back in a second.
It'll come back.
How much are you asking for legal fees?
Like, if I'm Morris, I'm paying your legal fees just to get the hell away from this thing.
Like, he's probably got enough money.
With Morris, so he gets 10% of that $1.5 billion deal, by the way, paid out over a couple of years with South Park.
If you search South Park, Kevin Morris, I want all your viewers to go do that.
It'll be dozens of articles.
This guy is the negotiator with Paramount, who's one of the big dogs on the porch.
So the figure, to be very direct, with Morris that we've requested for reimbursement, meaning we're not trying to, we're not money grubbers.
We're not asking for more than that.
We just want the fees reimbursed.
Everybody can get behind a reimbursement, right?
It's $364,000.
And that'll obviously fund Marco Pullover for 2026, and it'll get this albatross off my neck because I haven't been, I haven't had the feeling of being out of litigation in over two and a half years.
And I'm not saying woe is me.
There have been, Joe had real persecution on a criminal side.
When I say that we've been lawfared, I want to put an asterisk there and say it's been civil lawfare.
There's worse, there's criminal lawfare.
And that's what my old boss went through.
He spent four months for a misdemeanor with gangbangers down in FCI, Miami.
Absolutely preposterous.
So we've been civil lawfared, but I have to give a shout out to my attorney, Jennifer Holliday, in California.
She's been absolutely wonderful.
She's like an older sister to me.
I love her dearly.
And her standing by us and beating, she beat, she's preliminarily beat both Hunter and Morris within a calendar year.
It's been fantastic.
So this saga is relevant because why?
It connects Hollywood.
It explains how they were able to bury the Hunter scandal.
And secondly, and more importantly, because those are together, do you recall during the IRS whistleblower testimony when they said that the DOJ came to them and said that Morris could not be interviewed because he was a CIA asset?
I'm not saying that's true, David.
I'm saying that the IRS whistleblowers swore under penalty of perjury that they were told that by Jack Daly and I can't remember his first name.
His surname is Morgan.
He's a U.S. DOJ attorney.
Morgan and Daly, two U.S. DOJ attorneys, told Gary Shapley and other people that Morris was connected to this CIA.
I don't trust AI overviews for things that I don't already know the answers to, but I just wanted to show that you're not making this up.
Some Republicans suggested he might be CIA asset due to the alleged CIA involvement in blocking a potential IRS interview with him in 2021.
There's no definitive evidence he's a CIA asset with the asset claim stemming from whistleblowers reports and the agency's unusual interest in him.
Yeah, so this is very relevant to January 2nd, 2026.
And I think I said it at the beginning, but if I didn't, happy new year, man.
Happy New Year.
And I'm appreciative of our relationship.
So this 2026 will hopefully answer this question.
Why?
Because there's an outstanding lawsuit, not just an outstanding FOIA.
Judicial Watch has already sued the CIA about this.
And I'm watching that court listener pace her docket with the fervor of a mother watching her firstborn child sleep.
Okay.
This lawsuit, apparently, they've already produced a first tranche of documents.
So one FOIA that we're going to do in the next week is FOIA the CIA and see what they've already produced to Judicial Watch back in August.
If you know anybody at that outfit, you should get them on.
That's Judicial Watch.
The CIA already has responsive documents to their request about any relationship that Kevin Morris has with the CIA.
I've had Tom Fitton on before, and I know that he was having his problems even with the current administration FOIA requests.
And everybody, that's not necessarily a dig at this administration.
Barnes and I talk about it all the time: that the holdovers, the deep state, the administrative state, the FOIA people are the same people they were under Biden, and you can't really go after them just as easily.
And if they want to frustrate things and make it look bad for the current administration, this is what they do.
Tom Fitton is extremely pissed off under the current administration at the stonewalling, the over-redactions, as are a number of other people when it comes to the Epstein files.
So we know that there's current problems with current FOIA requests under the current administration, but most likely, more likely than not, because the people who are doing the FOIA redactions or refusals are the same people that they were a year and a half ago.
Very well said.
And I will just say you're striking at the Nerf Center.
This is the most important public policy issue, in my opinion, beyond nuclear war, is the administrative state.
This is what I'm most passionate about.
If I go back in the administration and I'm considering it in 2026, getting rid of these people should be the number one priority.
Nothing else matters.
Because if you cannot effect change based on a huge landslide victory, won all the seven swing states, the popular vote, and he's a Republican, for God's sake.
If you cannot affect change there, Trump has really got to get interested in the weeds.
This cancer is so deep.
You cannot go into it with a paperclip.
You need a shovel.
And it's almost like the, you know, the analogy is the cancer is set into the bone and you may have to amputate a whole bone.
And I don't think, speaking of the CIA in this outstanding lawsuit, remember, it's not just a FOIA.
They didn't respond to the FOIA.
That's why Judicial Watch sued.
If they, the CIA, in my opinion, cannot be reformed.
You have to, over a period of years, wind down both the FBI and the CIA.
And this is a big point of contention.
And my chief disagreement with Cash is that he thinks that these 54 field offices or whatever can be salvaged.
We need to wind down the, they have so thoroughly rotted from the inside.
The CIA, especially, if I had to pick two to wind down, I would start with the CIA first.
The amount of harm, David, that they have caused is almost incalculable.
Other countries around the world, some of them have a legitimate reason to hate our guts.
And it's mostly because of the CIA.
It's not because the American citizenry in Kentucky wants this.
They are extra judicial agencies.
The CIA's budget is not transparent.
They still have a black budget, and only about a dozen people on the Hill know what their official budget is, but they have an off-the-books budget.
And again, these topics have been written about by people much more knowledgeable and articulate than I am.
I'm saying that if we actually believe in Republicanism, you cannot in its current manifestation have a CIA.
It is by its essence operating outside of Republican will and control.
And some people argue the same thing to some extent about the FBI, that it was a corrupt institution from its inception.
Its raison d'être was a corrupt purpose.
And you can't remedy that.
And you're certainly not going to remedy that by not cleaning house, which hasn't been done.
When it comes to the CIA, you talk about countries hating.
You can hate a country without hating the people and the CIA.
A good reason to do it.
Yeah, hating the American government.
There are people who literally hate the American government for a totally justifiable reason.
Yeah, well, and they may or may not confound that to the people themselves, especially if the people support the government that they hate, then they say, well, you're complicit.
And the same thing goes for Mossad.
The same thing goes for MI6, so whatever the French intelligence is.
They've done, so, and I was just looking up to see how it works with FOIA.
Each agency has its own agents that administer FOIA requests.
So it's not like there's a centralized body.
You need to go and gut and purge each institution, which hasn't been done.
And I get all of that.
Yeah, I mean, Trump is so special.
And I love the guy.
This is me personally talking.
Nevertheless, as a American man, I have to, you know, part of our birthright is calling it as we see it.
And Trump either has to get very interested himself in the nuts and bolts, which I don't see right now, or deputize somebody to do that.
By nuts and bolts, David, I mean, if I were the chief of staff, I would say that we have to have a patriotic person sitting in each FOIA office at every single agency, all 400 of them.
Because remember, there's over 400 executive branch agencies, not just the 15 that get confirmed by the Senate and the big ones, the well-known ones, 400 of these different entities.
And my big project under the, this wasn't with Peter, by the way, so don't put this on Peter because I have secret missions all the time is trying to put in a digital org chart.
Did you know, David, and I was literally in the White House for two years, there is not a digital org chart of the U.S. federal government.
Doge tried to do it in March of this year.
It went nowhere.
The project is, you know why?
Because it is the nerve center.
You touch that.
You put together a updatable, electronic, classified org chart of every single federal official who's in the executive branch, over 2 million souls.
You will start to reform.
They will fight like crazy to stop an org chart being put together.
You can look up Doge org chart, see where it stands.
The last update has been March.
That's what I think about every day.
And Trump has to get interested in those things because if you don't have an org, if you're an executive, if you were hired to run a plastic manufacturer, David, and you come in there and there's 700 people, your first week is getting the lay of the land, right?
And then what?
You say to your trusted deputy, hey, I need to see this thing.
I need every soul mapped and I want the authority structure of each soul.
Who answers to who.
That's what people have to do.
And I put this in a memo to Johnny McIntye, the former head of PPO, in 2020.
I said, this is what stopped the first Trump term from reaching its full potential.
And unless we do that in this term, the reforms, some of them are welcome and good.
They won't be lasting.
We need to cut the cancer out.
And that involves firing thousands of people, hundreds of thousands in my opinion.
And the institutions have to be responsive to Republican will.
There's a great quote by Nixon.
You know, under true separation of powers, lawful actions by the executive cannot be questioned by the other branches of government.
That's what true separation of powers means.
That means when the judiciary is acting within their lawful authority and under the laws of the U.S. Constitution, the executive in the legislative can't tell them what to do.
Same thing with the legislative.
It'd be like Trump saying that he could, you know, he could dictate what the Congress does.
So, but, but that idea seems to only apply to Trump.
They only talk about separation of powers when he wants to rightfully get rid of a stooge at the FTC.
No, When he is lawfully appointing or firing somebody within his branch, he is not to be questioned.
Now, the big question and the big, the big rub is what is lawful.
And I would say anything that comports with the Constitution number one and statutes number two with Constitution Trumping, pun intended.
But those types of conversations, in my opinion, are not being had.
I still don't think, and I know a lot of people in the current, not so much in the White House, but because I'm younger, I just got, I was lucky and I got to go with Peter in there at such a young age, but most of them are in the agencies.
And I know, I've never heard of a new org chart being done for 2025 or 2026.
We don't have it.
If you think, if you're an American citizen and you think that your 33% of your income is going to a taxing body that at least has an org chart of the executive branch, it doesn't because people won't allow it because it'll start to enact accountability.
2.2 million employees.
I mean, I know you.
It's the largest bureaucracy in human history.
Well, it is among the largest corporations.
I mean, I don't know how much Walmart has, but I suspect maybe Walmart has more.
If it were a corporation, it would be among the largest corporations on earth.
Think about the problems that Alexander or Napoleon had.
Napoleon, you know, put this in historical terms, which is my favorite.
Some of the greatest conquerors in history, they don't have a fraction of that body count.
I know body count's a thing that the Zoomers talk about with girls being promiscuous.
I never knew what it was.
Let's have a more wholesome use of it.
Napoleon couldn't dream of that body count.
How do you control 2.2 million people?
The only way you do it, and I'm a man's man in this regard, is you have to see it.
The president has to be able to map this out.
You cannot keep that in your head.
Our brains don't work like that.
You make a good point.
First of all, I'm just looking this up here.
It looks like Walmart is among the consistently largest with 2 million employees.
So that means, you know, the federal government is, if it were a corporation, would be among the largest company on earth.
You make the right point, which is Trump needs, when Trump puts his finger on the scale, things happen.
Like when he accidentally tweeted out at Pam Bondi, what some people believe was intended to be a private text, immediate action.
And then it, and then it, you know, he moves on and it stops.
I question whether or not he's fully aware of certain things, the, you know, the details and the nuance.
And if he were to get involved and become aware of it, he wouldn't put up with it for a second.
But everybody says, you know, it's his administration and the buck stops at the president.
So if things aren't working at the FOIA level, it does ultimately stop with Trump.
He's got to get a hold of the agencies and make sure that they do the required purge to get these bad faith partisan actors out, which he hasn't done.
It's so well said.
I couldn't have said it better than you just did.
I can only supplement it by saying that there currently is no org chart.
And with Trump, who's a visual person, my goodness, look at his beautiful wife.
I mean, if anybody doubts that Trump is a visual learner or visible person, they haven't been in Trump Tower, seen anything about, studied about the guy.
Most people, most people who love Trump, when they hear me and you talking like this, they get very defensive.
They say, you're just complaining.
You're bitching.
You don't appreciate that the guy.
They say, wait, keep waiting.
Keep waiting.
Yeah, no, I appreciate all of it.
And I get goosebumps when I thought that he could have got his brain blown out on 8K with the New York Times.
They're capturing it.
I get all that.
I am appreciative of the fighting that he's done almost more than anyone.
I'm saying, though, as true Americans, as people who want the best for our country to reach its full, because right now, under the current U.S. executive branch, we cannot reach our full potential.
We can't do it as a country.
It's like having a hand holding somebody down.
We have an albatross that's called a totally bloated, unconstitutional executive branch.
And the president, as somebody who was voted on by 80 million people, give or take a few.
There's no way Joe got, I believe Joe got 81 million votes.
I don't think he got 81 million legal votes.
He got 81 million ballots.
I mean, he got ballots, right?
Yeah, feed him through from apartment complexes, right?
So, but if 80 million people give a cent, A-S-S-E-N-T, that a cent, to Trump, he gets authority over the U.S. executive branch.
He can't tell the Supreme Court what to do.
He can't tell the Congress, but that is his domain.
And he should.
I'm trying to put this in an analogy where people will really, if they forget everything I said today, I want them to remember this.
Do you remember a Johnny Depp movie called Blow?
Well, I thought you were going to say the blob because that's my annotation.
Yeah, no, it is the blob.
But do you remember the movie based on a guy from Massachusetts who moved to Ton of Cocaine?
There is a scene.
He's meeting with one of the Colombian drug lords who spoke in the movie pretty good English, and he's meeting with him in Colombia.
And they're going through the process that Johnny Depp's character is going to do when he goes through the airport to get the blow into the U.S. He's going to put it all in a suitcase.
And the main thing is for him to act cool.
Don't be fidgety, right?
That's how they got through customs in the 70s.
It's nuts that it's that way.
But anyways, one of the questions that that Colombian drug lord, Johnny Depp's character gets annoyed because the Colombian drug lord is very particular on asking him every single question about how this is going to occur.
He's trusting Johnny Depp's character with like 600 grand of Coke and kilos.
And he keeps asking Johnny Depp's character, are you going to put clothes in the suitcase or is it just going to be blow?
And he said, and Johnny Depp's character was sort of offended by this.
He didn't like this person getting into his, like into the weeds of the operation.
And he said, yeah, sure, I'll put clothes in the suitcase to mat, you know, to basically cover the Coke.
And the guy keeps asking him questions about, well, whose clothes are they?
Are they going to be your clothes?
And he, and, and the reason why I love this scene and I, and I bring it up and belabor the point now, is because the president at this stage in human history with 2.2 million people underneath him, he has to be that into the weeds.
Yeah.
And it's, it's just logistically impossible.
That's the bottom line.
So then the theory goes he's got to hire people that he can trust who are going to be the funnels who are then going to ask those questions.
And then he gets the Susie Wiles to manage those people.
And then Susie Wiles brings on Pam Bondi, who's going to presumably ask those questions.
What cases are going on right now?
What stage of the courts are they at right now?
How many Second Amendment cases?
How many First Amendment cases?
How many medical pharmaceutical cases?
And they do or don't ask those questions if they're competent, or they do and don't ask those questions if they're corrupt.
And then it becomes the question is, does he make good picks or does he make bad picks?
And the picks that he makes, even if they're good, are they performing to their fullest potential or are they being hindered by inherent systemic problems that have not yet been resolved?
Yes, and they're going to go unresolved no matter who is in the Oval Office.
And think about if you and I were transported 80 years ago or maybe even 100 years ago, and you and I were talking during the administration of TR, and TR wanted to get a hold of and put his arms around this whale of an executive branch.
We wouldn't have the technology to do what TR wanted to be done.
Meaning, there would always be a lag time.
It could only be on paper, and there might be a one to a month, a one week to a month lag time before a change at the Department of Labor could be expressed and communicated to the president.
We live in a period of human history now where that lag time is within minutes, if not seconds, man.
What my memo was is you have to put accountability on the cabinet secretaries.
You make them update the org chart daily.
So before they're put in their SUV to go home for the day, the Department of Labor has to sign off, or the Secretary of Labor has to sign off on the dotted line that this is accurate or they're gone.
So you instill accountability to each cabinet head that they have an accurate representation.
And you don't reveal the org chart to everybody.
I'm not saying people at my position before at the White House needed to have the org chart, right?
Because I was the young guy and I was Peter's support staff.
But the president and the chief have to have this.
And it should be like, if you don't get this to us, DHS Secretary, it's your ass.
You're gone.
If this goes two days in a row and we don't know who's, because remember, the base loves the deportations.
They love the, and rightfully so.
These people are breaking the law.
They're criminals.
But at the current rate, we're going to maybe get six to seven million out.
We have to think creatively.
And if the president wants to up those numbers, I think of that movie scene from 2013, Wolf of Wall Street with Matt McConnell.
Those are rookie numbers on that.
Yeah, those are rookie numbers.
I heard it in his accent also.
It's so that that is a good movie.
It is a good movie.
It was funded with dirty money, as you know, that scammer, the Filipino or Cambodian guy who stole $2 billion that ended up funding that.
And Rod Briner, rest in peace, he's a crazy nut job, but I don't want anybody murdered by their own son, right?
So rest in peace.
And he was in that movie.
And the rookie numbers that we're currently, I don't want to say they're rookie numbers, David, but they're not where they need to be.
And the only way that gets fixed is like that Bondi message you said with the president.
He's got to be up their rear end saying, if we're not getting those numbers up, the base is going to be irate.
And my legacy is going to be his legacy if he deports 15 million people will be so glorious.
Because remember what they said when Trump got indicted all those times?
Nobody is above the law.
That's what they told us.
Okay, leftists, we're going to take you out your word.
Nobody's above the law.
Every single illegal has to go yesterday.
It is like you say the org chart, and he's got to know what's going on and know where to go if things aren't happening.
Some people are going to say, well, he wants to deport, but he's got activist judges who are blocking all political attempts to do so.
And then it would become a question of, then you impeach the judges and the activist judges who are violating the law by playing the executive from the bench and you go after the Boesbergs, which he hasn't done.
He hasn't done it.
He hasn't called for their impeachment.
I mean, he knows who Boesberg is.
The question is, does he know the extent of Boesberg's corruption?
I think he does.
And then the question is, why are they not putting pressure on people to impeach?
Set aside conviction, impeach.
And when I think about Trump and I say, does he even know who's on some of these big cases?
Like, if we can segue into the Brian Cole, I'm not sure how familiar you are with it.
Oh, I'm very familiar.
Well, let's put it this way.
I'm very familiar with the internal politics of the Blaze story.
And I've been following with a fervent eye all of the back and forth with the parties.
Seraphin, Julie, you.
I get, I'm very aware of all that.
Okay, good.
And I say, it's um, I like it when you're on your positions have been totally reasonable, man.
I get it.
I unanswered questions.
I don't like making making enemies for no good reason, and I don't making enemies.
You didn't say anything that wasn't truthful.
That's the only barometer.
And I'm sort of an 80-year-old trapped in a 30-year-old's body.
I'm a curmudgeon.
Like, my only barometer is whether you or anybody else is telling the truth.
That's what made the Sean Ryan discussion so ridiculous.
Yeah, I want to know what conditions.
Not say not conditions because now we know that Sean Ryan doesn't change his release forms, but maybe Hunter said, I'm not going to sit down with you unless you, if you ask certain questions, in which case somebody should ask Sean Ryan to post his release forms if he's publicly transparent.
Yeah, well, that's the thing.
Like, I don't want to accuse Sean Ryan of anything.
He's done a couple of lame interviews and he's done a bunch of great ones.
I, I, you know, to the extent that someone says, We cannot talk about this, and I won't sit down with you if you do, you can't do that interview, or you can't do it without disclosing that limitation because your audience.
I mean, I didn't see the entire interview with Sean.
Well, this is my beat.
So, this is whatever you want to ask about Hunter.
This is like my, I have four beats, man.
And I, my only claim to fame in this regard is I know more about the Hunter situation than anybody in the world.
Well, no, I the only I wanted to not segue into the Brian Cole, but it was a good, a good example, like where Trump is in there.
And I say, does Trump know who Jocelyn Ballantyne is?
Does he know that she exists?
Okay, does he know who she is?
Oh, she's an attorney.
Okay, I'm glad you know that, Nick.
Does she know who's not that?
That was the first thing I noticed in the charging document.
Does he know what she did?
Does he know that she was the reason for which he needed to issue pardons for 1,500 people?
If he knows that, how the hell can she still be on the file and anyone have faith in what the hell is going on right there?
Does Janine Pirro, who's supposed to be the person in the org chart, to answer to Trump and say, Here's who's on the file?
Oh, by the way, Trump, you might want to look at this person.
Jocelyn Ballantyne, the woman who coerced a confession out of Michael Flynn, is the prosecutor in this case.
Well, then, my question would be: What the hell is she doing there, Janine?
Do they even tell him this?
And so, don't you get second-hand embarrassment from that?
I got second-hand embarrassment when I saw the Brian Cole charging document.
I got secondhand embarrassment because it's unanswerable.
It is givable.
It is, that's the problem.
It's like either you know or you don't.
At this point, you can't not know because someone, uh, what was her name from Lindell Media got the question to him.
He can't not know, he doesn't, he knows.
And so, what the hell's going on?
Well, this is the last time I spoke to him in the Oval was January 18th, 2021.
And this is an atypical opinion about Trump.
Um, and it goes against everything that the mainstream media says about him.
I think that Trump, interpersonally, not what he projects to the public, I think interpersonally, the president's too soft.
I think that he needs to be more of a curmudgeon and fire more people.
I know that's not surprising based on our earlier back and forth, but I just think he's not, he needs to rule with an iron fist.
It's like that old saying, he will enforce the law without regard to persons.
And the fervor and the anger, the righteous indignation to use a Breitbart term, that he has to have towards these people.
I mean, think about how many nights a grown man was going to sleep on a concrete floor in a box because of that witch, and that she is the one out of all the attorneys in the country.
We have too many in this country.
It's, I mean, I said it now.
I don't know if I've ever phrased it this way, but she is the reason for which he had to issue the pardons, and she's on the case.
How can anyone answer that question?
And this is not an attack on Trump.
I got the, like, I am probably one of the ones who wants and needs Trump to succeed more than anybody else because I know what the hell the Democrats would do.
If Trump had not won, they would look at my support for the Jan Sixers as a support for domestic terrorists.
And Lord knows what they're saying.
It's disgusting.
I would have been indicted by now for hacking.
Totally why Moore sued me.
This is not out of out of animosity whatsoever.
This is like you're not going to succeed if you don't know about these things and take the requisite correction action.
I mean, and just for the everybody in the chat knows, you heard that, am I having a stroke or did your camera just go blurry?
Sorry, no, it might just be lagging on my end.
I was like, holy crap, I'm getting another ocular migraine.
No, Brian.
Do you have those?
I'm sorry.
Oh, no, dude, it's wild.
The first time I thought I was legit having a stroke, because it's like a zigzag rainbow.
And I'm like, oh.
And then it keeps, I was like, oh my God, I'm dying, right?
Because this was also in relative proximity to a certain medical intervention that we were sort of mildly coerced.
So I thought I was going to die.
But yeah, ocular migraines, they're interesting.
It's like, you know, but my friend had one.
It's hell on earth.
You don't wish it on.
I don't even want Morris to have one.
No, minor painless.
It's just, I see a rainbow that starts at the same time.
I forget if it starts.
It hasn't been, it's been a while, but they start at the center and go to the periphery.
And so once you know that you're having them, it's easier not to panic.
No, but now I just lost.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
They ordered Brian Cole now detained.
And detained until trial.
This is not in the same facility where Epstein was Epsteined.
But like, what blows my mind on the one hand is, you know, I'm getting pushback to some extent from the right who says, you know, how dare you complain about this, Viva?
This, you know, you're criticizing the administration.
This is the same right who's saying, how dare the Jan Sixers have been in pretrial detention for four years before some of them went to trial.
And this, set aside the fact that you're talking about an autistic 30-year-old who's so autistic, people, you know, they said he's got the intellectual capacity of a 15-year-old.
And the same federal detention where people get Epsteined and people make jokes about it.
And I don't know what the hell is going on.
We're like, once you sort of, you know, Mark Twain said, once you're on the side of the majority, it's time to take a step back and reflect.
We're like, you're on the side of the majority, at least controlling the levers of power now, tolerating and promoting the same injustices that you were railing against.
Well, this guy planted a pipe bomb, so it's much different, allegedly.
And that's if you believe it.
So that was the news of the day.
This is if you believe a charging document, right?
If you believe the charging document, under that same logic, we should have believed that, you know, General Flynn lied to the government because, you know, he admitted to it.
It's all he pleaded.
It's all under, they get pleas all the time.
And it's what made Hunters slap on the wrist so ridiculous is because most of the time we don't have primary source evidence of the act, right?
Most criminal defendants do not have evidence of their culpability out in the ether.
So just contrast that, contrast the evidence against Hunter Biden with the evidence with the evidence against Brian Cole.
And I think it's interesting that they have, I'm, do you know who the expert witness is?
They disclose that in the defendant.
I don't know who it is, but I know that the defendant.
I want the name of the guy because that's the first person I'm digging into because he says they can't pinpoint the cell tower with enough accuracy.
It's very interesting.
That should have affected whether they held him pre-trial.
I was thinking that, you know, I've read the affidavit.
I know Mike Benz was thoroughly convinced by the allegations in support of it.
I, you know, have since understood a little bit more about the ping issues where some of the pings were on the perimeter of the 120 degrees reception of the towers and some might have been outside of it.
And then, you know, they might be getting a ricochet ping.
But, you know, when I first read the affidavit, I said, oh, where's the evidence that he bought the potassium nitrate, the charcoal, the sulfur?
Because it wasn't in there.
And then in the motion for pretrial detention, there was an additional, you know, very discreet allegation that he bought the sulfur, which was herbicide miticide in 2018, which was a full three years.
No, but this was January 14, 2018, unless I misunderstood the date.
I know that's it was a full year before he bought the caps and the pipes.
So like he bought sulfur and held on to it for a year.
It's going to be tough to prove mens Rea unless they have contemporary messages.
Well, my issue is they're not going to be able to prove mensrea necessarily given his level of autism where he might end up getting off on that.
At least I thought, but hopefully he survives two years in pre-trial detention.
It's unimaginable.
I don't understand what the hell is going on.
Yeah, and what I think pisses people off, and I'm sorry to cut you off, is the defensiveness from people within the administration that are supposedly with us is don't be defensive about it.
Like anything I did, I know it's going to take another five years, but when the 10-year clock hits and the National Archives opens up every email I ever sent during Trump's first term, the public pays the salaries of these federal officials, and they shouldn't be so defensive.
You should have an attitude of here, here's all my work.
It's like, you know, when I regrettably cheated a math class, I always feared that the teacher would make me show her my work during calculus.
And the federal officials should always want to show their work.
They should always be in a spirit of, yes, you know, that psalm about asking the Lord to search your thoughts and see if there is any wicked way within you.
That's the attitude that these feds should have, including with Kash Patel.
So 2025, you know, I'm a tough grader.
I think that the first Trump term was somewhere in like the, you know, the C range.
And I think there are aspects of this second term that are within the B range.
But I found nothing within the A range so far.
That's coming from a love of Trump.
No, he definitely secured the border, at least stopped the invasion.
And then the question is, you know, the stopping the evasion, I would create is an A. Is it A?
And then the argument is going to be he couldn't proceed with the deportations because we've seen the judicial activists coming from the hacks on the bench.
But in terms of going after those who were responsible for the lawfare, it's been pretty damn close to an F for 2025.
I mean, the only one they got was James Comey.
That was dismissed and they still have it refiled last I checked.
They got to go after Weissman, man.
He's my, he's my, he, beyond Norm Eisen and Abby Lowell.
Uh, Weissman is my demon.
Weissman is, is, is the tip of the spear.
I, I, that, that, that.
Who was the first one again?
Lowell?
Andrew Weissman.
Yeah, Andrew Weissman was the third, but who was the first one?
He said, uh, beyond Abby Lowell, Norm Eisen, and Andrew Weissman.
Uh, those I'm noticing, unfortunately, I'm noticing a trend.
Those three demons are at the tip of the spear in everything.
But Weissman, Weissman, especially, Weissman touches on almost every scandal from Enron to Moeller and how he is still walking around is nuts.
That guy is a very sophisticated criminal.
Oh, Mark Elias also.
Like, there's a number of names where you can't, I mean, it's almost like you say they got defensive, and that's what sort of caught me off guard on the one hand, left a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth.
I like, not I don't just like Harmee Dylan is doing a great job.
Uh, Pam Bonte is not.
I don't, I do know, I do not believe Pam Bondi was doing a good job, irrespective of the Epstein thing.
I won't go over it because we've talked about it at length.
But when Harmeed gets out there and starts defending Pam Bonte, I can appreciate it.
People said Trump wasn't loyal enough to the people who supported him in his first term.
He threw Michael Flynn under the bus.
Maybe he's trying to remedy that by being super duper loyal, even when they're not performing.
But, you know, and so Harmeed comes out in this cheerleading for Pam Bondi, which is fine.
That's good.
But then, you know, to answer the sass from Kyle Serafin as opposed to the substance from me.
And not to say Kyle doesn't have substance, I think he does.
And not to say that I don't have sass.
I know that I do.
No, I get it.
But you can distinguish between the two.
It's like, I know that she saw my legit questions, but then chose to respond to Kyle Serafin's sass, which was just, you know, get a better mic.
Okay, fine.
That is sass.
That's not substance.
That's petty.
That's petty.
But then also, just replying to that, when I know that you see the original one, we need to have a meaningful sit-down.
At least, you know, it's not transparency just to sit down with Fox News or Catherine.
Catherine Harris does a good job, but you know, like there are legit questions out there that need to be answered to reassure people.
And who knows?
Maybe they would be convincing even to me.
Cash hasn't done a hard interview yet, man.
There's not been a single difficult interview.
He's done once.
When I got this book done, I sent this to every shitlib outlet out there, David.
Please interview me.
You know, I'm not above reproach.
I'll make some mistakes, but none of these people who would have difficult interviews with me ever interviewed me.
Cash has never put himself in a situation in the first year to ever have any really hard question to ask.
It's the truth.
No, I know.
And then he does the idiotic podcast with his girlfriend, like it's MTV Cribs, and then releases it during the worst possible week where it looks like instead of doing what they're supposed to be doing, they're sitting down for MTV Cribs type love stories.
Yeah, dude, they're not even married.
Like it's once that year.
I wouldn't even have to do that.
If you make an honest woman out of her, maybe at the end of the term, like if I were in his position, the only time I'd, and I love my wife and I tell her everything, but the only time I'd sit down with her is at the end of the administration, right?
Like do your job first and then you can have a joint Martha Stewart interview with the wife.
But he's not even married to her when it's within a year of taking office.
No, I don't pick on the not even married to her part.
I appreciate people with conservative values.
I dated my wife for, I think, eight and a half years, but that was only because we met at 17 and 19.
And I do believe in making sure.
And you weren't the director of the FBI.
But I also, I wouldn't even do, it would be weird to even do like a sit down.
Hey, Viva, let's talk about a successful marriage.
It would be weird to do that now.
It's not my thing.
It's not my niche.
And it sure as hell should, you know, it would be a little weird if on Viva Fride, the law politics, we start doing that where you have the FBI doing it at the worst, releasing it at the worst possible time.
And now.
Can I just say one word on the Epstein thing?
Oh, please.
There have been so many words said.
The one thing I want to bring back to everybody's attention is official statements, not something that somebody said to Fox News during an interview.
The thing that I will not let be forgotten, I'm not implying that everybody has forgotten about it, but one thing I want to draw everybody's attention to again is that July 6th and July 13th press release by the DOJ that started all this, David.
That's what got everybody rightfully angered was this unsolicited, two-paged, unsigned, undated memo that said there's no evidence of third-party culpability.
That wasn't Trump's fault.
Yes, it was in Trump's administration, but Trump wasn't looking at that two-page memo, man.
I don't, that is what started all this.
So whose ever decision, if I'm, if I were to jet in there now and try to put my hands around this PR crisis and everything else, I'd say, okay, let's go back to the genealogy.
Who in July wrote that two-pager?
Because that's what put that part about third-party culpability was so ridiculous.
Of course, there's culpable third parties.
Now, whether or not you can get them on sex trafficking is another matter.
I'm sure you can get them on the Man Act, and there is a difference.
So that's what started all this.
No, no, for sure.
And it's like I pulled up a Todd Blanche.
I mean, it's, I don't know how much you've looked into Todd Blanche.
I mean, that's where a lot of people want to talk about it.
Rod Rosenstein's a friend of his, and Rod Rosenstein is my least favorite person from the Trump term.
Number one.
I know my community, and I know what we think of Todd Blanche and that particular memo.
And then telling us that the video proves that Epstein killed himself when that video got dynamic.
The video proves nothing.
It proves worse than nothing that you would question the judgment of anybody who says, This is the video that proves it and don't ask any more questions.
And Bondi's initial explanation for the missing minute, which turned into more than the missing minute and it being pointed in a direction that showed absolutely nothing.
And even if he did hang, this is what I've been saying.
Even if he did hang himself because he had extra linens somehow, someone gave him the extra linens and facilitated a window for that to happen.
No, the upside, it's been a few unforced errors, and hopefully they write the ship.
But I've been saying, like, it should have been Matt Gates from the beginning.
Maybe not now that that.
Somebody comparable.
You mentioned loyalty and Trump awarding loyalty.
I do think Harmeet Dylan was vocally Trump in 2024, but I cannot remember the same from Pam Bondi.
So even according to that logic, he shouldn't have such a long leash for Bondi because I don't remember her really on the stump, man.
Like maybe after he got shot, but before he got shot, I don't remember Pam Bondi saying, this is civilizational.
If Heels Up Harris gets in, the music stops, which was the case.
I don't remember Pam Bondi saying that.
Maybe she did, but I don't know.
I would say even if she didn't, if she just performed to any meaningful degree as the attorney general, it's like just being unaware of certain things and overtly bad on others.
And yeah, it's constantly going on Fox, man.
It's just hunting.
Fox is their favorite news network because they're cheerleaders and not journalists.
And I don't, well, I don't like Fox anyway a little bit more only because they do cover some good news.
But yeah, they're the administration's cheerleaders to some extent.
Who was it that interviewed Trump when he said the H-1B visa thing?
Laura Ingram.
Laura Ingram.
I mean, that was some decent pushback.
You're right.
Laura Ingram was like the surpriser for me for 2025.
She had courage.
That's what I chalk it up to.
It's like, you can love Trump, but at the same time, ask people tough questions and demand responsibility.
I want to see when her love, I'm just going to Google see when her last interview with the Trump administration was because that might have been it.
I'm joking.
I don't know.
No, that's a good point.
I don't think she, well, maybe she's other, she hasn't interviewed Trump since then.
No, for sure not Trump.
I'm just wondering if she's interviewed.
I'll double check.
And then if it turns out to be true, that's the question I would ask right now.
And I'll see if I can get an answer to that.
Garrett, do you mind if I get to the point?
In our locals community, someone asked a question.
I wanted to make sure it wasn't.
Of course.
I love the back and forth.
That's what I'm saying.
So it says, can Garrett explain what this is?
These are from his Telegram.
Executive summary.
I don't know what these are.
I don't like bringing up things that I've never seen before.
I don't think I've seen this.
Two Italian nationals with evidence of foreign technical manipulation.
They're currently under threat.
These were documents, not written by me.
These were documents provided to Mark Meadows in the run-up to J6.
And I don't vouch for the accuracy of this information.
This is what was sent to Mark Meadows about a potential election machine hack via Italy.
And by the way, the resolution of that whole saga was never provided.
We don't know who came up with the allegations.
Maria Zach, an American involved with it, refuses to tell me or anybody else, including Mark Meadows, who her sources in Italy were for.
So basically, it's an unresolved question.
And going back to what the video of Epstein's cell does and doesn't prove, what law school, and I hate most lawyers, to be frank.
But what law school and other educational endeavors like that do for you is it trains your reasoning abilities.
And so, so most people are so black and white and they don't allow for like five gradations.
Like, you know, and the best way to explain this is the standards of evidence, the three used in the U.S. system, right?
Beyond a reasonable doubt, clear and convincing, and preponderance.
I hate preponderance.
I think it's a child's game, and I just hate it.
We use clear and convincing for this because Hunter, we're not, you know, we're PIs and investigators.
We're not prosecutors.
So we didn't use the beyond a reasonable doubt for all the criminal activity in this.
We use clear and convincing evidence.
But what people have to get better at is using more precise reasoning to be able to say this is for sure the case, right?
People always are so quick to say they're for sure protecting somebody.
Maybe the motive is somewhat different.
There could be five options instead of two for everything.
And it goes back to, you know, your logic education and being able.
I'm a religious person.
So I would urge everybody to ask God to sharpen their reasoning abilities and to not be so quick on the trigger.
You know, some kids maybe in America, sometimes they get their first, you know, deer hunt at age 12 and they're so trigger happy.
They want to fire right away.
And I would urge everybody to just take a step back and to be more precise in your, you know, in your reasoning.
And sometimes it may surprise you, the motives for people.
Well, like you say, yeah, I think I said not like it's military, but everybody should study some form of law, maybe some form of logic.
And it is my issue is sharpening your reasoning is one thing.
Sharpening your morality is another because intelligence without a moral compass is a weapon and not a tool.
And when you get Morris.
No, that's it.
You get lawyers.
They're trained.
They're smart.
And then Kevin Morris, man.
That's who I'm battling against.
And Abby Lowell.
I mean, Abby Lowell has been protecting the worst people in the country since the 90s.
You brought up Abby Lowell's Wikipedia page, and that picture in his Wikipedia profile is him testifying on behalf of the House majority in this slick willy fellatio impeachment scandal.
This guy's been repping the worst figures on ever.
I think even the worst deserve a rep, but it has to be an honest rep. And, you know, I'll tell you, like, for my practice of law, I remember when, you know, you ask a question, you say, communicate to me an email dated any emails sent on X date.
And this is, you know, mutasmy.
That's virtually what happened.
I say, send me any emails, communications on this given date.
And I get an email and it didn't have the email to which it was replying, which was as damning an email as you could ever imagine because it established a date of knowledge.
And for the purposes of copyright infringement, that's relevant.
And I said, well, then I went to court.
It's like he deliberately truncated the email.
And he's like, well, you only asked for the email sent or received on that date, not all attachments there too.
And I'm like, holy shit.
All right.
You learn a lesson, especially when judges don't smack that badness down.
They don't.
And the cases we're involved with, we had, not all baby boomers are technically inept.
So that's the first caveat to what I'm going to say.
However, more of them are than millennials and Zoomers, the generation I'm in.
I'm like the oldest generation Z you can be by two months.
And they are living, most of them, in an analog world still.
And so when we were explaining to the judge Richard Epstein in the Morris case that I don't post everything on my Telegram channel, he literally could not conceive of that, David.
He didn't know what forwarding was.
It's like that old, old disclaimer that people have on their Twitter profile when they say retweets aren't endorsements.
He could not conceive that I forward things to my Telegram channel that I myself did not author.
Sometimes I do it for cringe purposes, like meaning I'll forward something that I obviously disagree with.
And sometimes I forward something that I wholeheartedly agree with.
But this guy who has authority over a U.S. court, a smaller U.S. court, does not even conceive of a repost, meaning he's living in an analog world and we're all operating in a digital one.
And this guy has authority to grant me reimbursement for my legal fees.
It's absolutely insane.
There was a case, I forget what it was.
It had to do with technology and you're dealing with it with an 81-year-old.
Oh, no, he was during COVID.
It was one of the, it'll come back to me.
But yeah, you're dealing.
Well, the worst part is that people don't know what they don't know.
The first thing that you do in any operation is you define what you don't know.
And that's the only time I'll ever quote Donald Rumsfeld, right?
You have to have known unknowns.
And most of these boomer or even silent generation types, they don't know that they have a deficiency.
So, you know, if you're 81 and don't know how to do video conferencing, you're not sinning if you don't know how to do that.
You are derelict in your duty if you don't have a 30-year-old by your side all the time, making sure you're properly hooked up.
It's driving me crazy.
I remember it was an old woman who had family law experience involved in a highly technical case who was telling us that she knew how.
Oh, it's coming back to me.
This is the problem with having too much, following too many cases.
It'll come back to me in a second.
Well, no, that's why you should have a mind map.
Robert Gevea.
I know, but I'm stubborn.
You know, we created these org charts of everybody involved in the Biden investigation.
That's another one of our exclusives.
If somebody's wondering what we're doing, don't just get our book, although I urge you to do so.
But go to our website, marcopolo501c3.org, and look at these org charts that we developed, over 160 feds, all mapped out on this German tool called MindMeister.
And for folks like us, because I know we think similarly, you've got to have it on paper or in the digital world.
You cannot keep it all in your brain.
We cannot, our brains are not designed like that.
We have to have somewhere to store it.
And MindMeister is a digital equivalent of that, and you can manipulate it.
So I urge, and they didn't pay me to say this, but I urge everybody to go get a free MindMeister account.
Mindmeister.
Mindmeister.
You can even put your Godforsaken grocery list on there, but it's a way to get it out of your mind.
Like when I'm sitting down to read a book, like this is from a pastor in Wyoming, Christ in the Church.
When I sit down, yes, I love that.
They're the market leader in this.
We've paid them $30 a month for years.
It's worth every penny.
When I sit down to read a book, I can't have all this other stuff in my brain.
And that's a way to put it there, and it's there.
And so this case that you're going back to with this family law judge, you know, if it were there in Mindmeister, you know, you could forget about it.
And then only when you think back to that judge, then can you go, you know, it's there.
So that's why there's a very good academic guy like named Nicholas Carr who wrote a book.
Again, he's not paying me to say this called The Shallows.
And the subtitle is How the Internet is Ruining Our Brains.
And I think if people utilized, ironically, some of these tools that are on the internet, like MindMeister, and put it all there and stopped keeping it in their head, they would actually increase their focusing ability and be more present in the moment because they're not keeping all this stuff jumbling around.
It is definitely something that I know where it's, I try to meditate in as much as humanly.
It's impossible.
And I like to say, well, it's the cost of doing what it is that we do, which is trying to pay attention to everything that's going on in the world at the same time.
If there were a way to compartmentalize or even just relax for a few minutes, I'm going to look into my mindmeister.
And can I ask you a favor?
I need to go get more coffee because I'm starting to get a headache.
Can I jump off for 90 seconds?
Oh, yeah, no, no.
And what I'm going to do in the interim is we're going to go raid.
I'm going to raid Dr. Drew and we'll do this locals only in the after party.
We'll get some Q ⁇ A in for you.
Okay, 90 seconds.
Amazing.
Okay.
Everyone, but I'm going to say it here before we go.
Marco Polo on X. Go follow him.
He's amazing.
Marco Polo.
Okay, I'll show everybody what his Twitter handle looks like or his X handle so that you can go do it.
I kind of want my coffee as well, but I don't have any energy drinks in the house.
So I'm just going to go drink some, what's it called?
It's called Cold Brew in the Fridge.
Okay, here's a link to his X account.
Follow him.
He's amazing.
We're going to raid.
Dr. Drew in a second.
Everyone, make sure that you are liked, shared, subscribed before we do that.
I'm going to get to some Crumble rants over on Crumble before we do that.
And I just want to remind everybody, if you want to support the channel, you can't see it here.
I'm going to show this in a second, but let's do the Crumble rant from King of Biltong says, craving a snack that's bold, authentic, and packed with protein.
Biltong boasts nearly 50% protein packed with B vitamins, creatine, iron, zinc, and more.
Use code Viva for 10% off.
Biltongusa.com.
It is like, it's beef jerky, but like prosciutto.
It's the most delicious beef jerky on earth.
It's from South Africa.
Get it.
It's delicious.
Not a sponsor.
Dominant one says, Viva, since only voting has never in history changed a bad government to a good one, I want all people to keep voting harder.
And King of Biltong, this is Dominant One says, is there a way for a man to get pounded by Anton's meat without eight?
Thank you for the okay.
And then there was a tipped question over on viva barnslaw.locals.com.
There's a few of them here.
Let's see what we got here.
I'm going to see if we save these for afterwards.
First time post of the year says Chien Visage, which is dogface in French.
Happy New Year to you, Viva and Robert.
Thank you very much to you as well.
Viva, did you manage to complete We Who Wrestle with God?
No, I didn't.
But I got far enough into it that I think I still got the gist of it.
And Kiki Blue says, Viva, can you post the link to Mindmeister?
Because I want to find, yeah, I'm going to reach out and see if I can get him as a sponsor.
That would be one heck of an organic sponsor.
Here it is right there.
I can't, well, it's Mind Meister.
I can't seem to connect the link.
Mind Meister.
So check that out.
And what I was about to do was show you one last thing over here.
If you want to support the channel, people, you can get a Louis the Lobster Returns to the Sea.
I'm writing the sequel.
It's Harry the Heron gets unhooked.
And I just, I have to do it.
It's going to be my New Year's resolution is to write the damn sequel already.
If you want to support the channel, you can go to tip questions over here.
I noticed someone in our locals community had a screen grab that said, tip with crypto.
I don't know if that was to mock one's involvement with crypto or to remind you how to do it.
I have the wallet on Rumble, and you can go to Tip, and then you can go to Tip with Another Crypto Wallet, and you can put in Bitcoin, and you can go right now scan this if you have a wallet and tip with Bitcoin.
And I'll leave it up there for a few seconds.
You can do it with USDT, the tethered dollar.
Oh, I just screwed up within here.
Hold on a second.
You can go here with another wallet, USDT, or XAUT, which is the gold-based.
You can scan that.
And yeah, it's amazing.
It's going to be available for everybody sooner than later.
And I just saw another tip question come in, which was, where is it?
Where is it?
Somebody asked Marco Polo or why Marco Polo.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, we'll get to save that for locals afterwards.
King of Biltong says it's not me posting those views.
I know it's not you.
It's Dominant One.
It's the Jokins.
Don't worry.
I don't take offense.
I'm just not going to do it.
I'm not being rude.
I'm looking at the comments right now.
Maybe I can take a couple.
Oh, yeah, go for it.
And by the way, I'm just not reading some of these comments because I don't want to have people to have that soundbite and say, oh, Viva said this unironically.
We're going to raid Dr. Drew while you do this and tell him from whence you came.
Hopefully he's still live.
I think he is.
Raid.
And Garrett, we're going to get our after party in here.
Boom.
Confirm raid.
And let's go over to Dr. Drew.
Viva in the house.
Booyah.
Happy New Year, Drew.
And team.
Okay, here we go.
Okay, boom.
Okay, done.
Now we're going to go over to locals.
Everybody, if you're coming, it's vivabarnslaw.locals.com.
I think our Christmas discount is now over.
So you can't get that anymore.
You missed it if you didn't get it.
Link.
And we're going to have our after party there and take some questions from the chat.
Sunday night show is going to be a banger, six o'clock Sunday with Barnes.
And I will see you all Monday.
And oh, Monday.
I've got, oh, what's his name?
Oh, geez.
He was the Jan Sixer.
I just reached out to him this morning.
The one who was pushed in.
And oh, here we go.
It's Will Pope is going to be on on Monday.
And January 6th, five-year anniversary is on Tuesday.
So we'll do something then.
And that's it, everybody.
Happy New Year, Rumble.
If you're not coming over, go raid Dr. Drew.
If you're not going to come to vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
And Godspeed, we're going to take this over there.
