=== Blind Dog and New Adoptee (01:58) ===

[00:00:00]  Ladies and gentlemen of the interwebs, this was the white pill I wanted to show yesterday during our evening stream because people were getting dismayed with the news.
[00:00:09]  It is my two dogs play.
[00:00:11]  The white one is blind from birth and the brown, what color is that?
[00:00:15]  The gray one is the new adopted dog.
[00:00:17]  There was a week where they were not getting along and that, I mean, the white one was not liking the gray one.
[00:00:24]  They seem to be getting along now.
[00:00:26]  Look how cute this is.
[00:00:28]  Lovingly biting each other's arms.
[00:00:32]  The white one, you can see the milkiness in his eyes, blind from birth, a West Highland Terrier.
[00:00:37]  The new one, possibly mentally challenged.
[00:00:41]  A rescue from a local rescue here.
[00:00:46]  Now Winston sniffing the balls.
[00:00:52]  Getting bitten from underneath.
[00:00:55]  This is how wrestling got started, people, in humans.
[00:00:58]  They were looking at dogs and saying, hmm.
[00:01:01]  It's cute.
[00:01:03]  These are the new dogs.
[00:01:03]  They're getting along.
[00:01:04]  They love each other.
[00:01:06]  And it's fun to watch them play.
[00:01:11]  And they play in a way where...
[00:01:14]  What are you guys doing?
[00:01:19]  Winston's never really had a dog to play with, so I'm not sure if he likes it or doesn't really like it.
[00:01:24]  But look at this.
[00:01:24]  Watch the dog who seems to be mentally challenged now roll off and out of it.
[00:01:30]  Pretty good reflexes.
[00:01:31]  And those are the dogs.
[00:01:32]  All right.
[00:01:33]  By the way, we went with the name for this dog.
[00:01:35]  Let me just press play a little bit.
[00:01:37]  We ended up going with the name Manny.
[00:01:40]  Oh, now he's going to run.
[00:01:41]  Because he looks like a Manatee.
[00:01:43]  Ladies and gentlemen of the Interwebs, it's the 3 o'clock Viva on Rumble.
[00:01:49]  Viva Fry, former Montreal litigator, turned current Florida Rumbler doing the daily show.
[00:01:55]  And I don't know if it's doom and gloom.
[00:01:58]  There's some fun stuff.

=== Manny the Manatee Runs Free (04:38) ===

[00:01:59]  I got to hear the better part of the Tony Act hearing in the Hewlett-Packard Juniper merger in California with a judge who had he, him, his pronouns in his Zoom bio.
[00:02:14]  We were not allowed recording, or at least from what I understand, not allowed recording the broadcast.
[00:02:19]  I listened to the hearing.
[00:02:20]  It was actually kind of interesting.
[00:02:21]  We're going to get into it.
[00:02:23]  But before we get into it, and before we even get into our guest for today's show, trying to have this happen for a long time.
[00:02:29]  Luke Rodkowski, if you don't know him, welcome to the channel.
[00:02:32]  You must know Luke.
[00:02:34]  Amazing guy.
[00:02:34]  But before we get there, I want to thank today's sponsor, which is Venice.ai.
[00:02:40]  People, Sam Altman said, ChatGPT will get to know you over your life.
[00:02:44]  ChatGPT has the former director of the NSA sitting on their board right now.
[00:02:48]  Edward Snowden called this a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of everyone on earth.
[00:02:53]  Alexa listens to us and recommends things based on our conversations.
[00:02:56]  Meta retargets us based on our browsing history.
[00:02:59]  The stuff I've been getting, don't you'll see.
[00:03:02]  I get a lot of baseball card stuff and I get some other stuff.
[00:03:05]  Tinnitus, and we'll see if it ever comes up and then I'll explain myself when it happens.
[00:03:10]  But why would we assume that AI is any different?
[00:03:12]  It took us far too long to understand why social media companies were gathering our data and what they were doing with that data.
[00:03:17]  Are we going to make the same mistake with AI?
[00:03:20]  OpenAI has hinted that they might start requiring their users to provide government-issued IDs.
[00:03:24]  Would you feel comfortable doing that?
[00:03:26]  The answer is no.
[00:03:27]  And the solution to that is Venice.ai.
[00:03:30]  Venice.ai utilizes open source AI models to deliver text, code, image generation to your web browser.
[00:03:36]  No downloads, no installations, no nothing.
[00:03:38]  They don't spy on you or censor the AI.
[00:03:40]  Messages are encrypted and your conversation history is stored on your browser.
[00:03:43]  AI can be extremely valuable, but we shouldn't need to give up our privacy in order to use it.
[00:03:47]  They have a pro plan.
[00:03:48]  It unlocks the full platform and features, including PDF uploads, summaries, insights, the ability to turn off safe mode for unhindered image generation, the ability to change how Venice interacts with you by modifying the system prompt.
[00:04:00]  If you want to use AI without the fear of handing over your most intimate thoughts to a corporate corporation or government, you can get 20% off the pro plan.
[00:04:07]  Go to Venice with a C.ai forward slash Viva.
[00:04:10]  And just for the sake of it, let's see here.
[00:04:13]  We'll ask it a question, and I know why it's getting this answer.
[00:04:16]  Did Brian, oh, no, hold on a second.
[00:04:18]  Let's go like this.
[00:04:19]  I made a joke.
[00:04:20]  I asked Grock, is Brian Cole Jr. the real Jan 6 pipe bomber?
[00:04:27]  Yes or no, answer only.
[00:04:30]  I've changed actually.
[00:04:31]  Let's see what it does this time.
[00:04:32]  The last time I said, is he the real, is he the pipe bomber?
[00:04:35]  And the answer was yes.
[00:04:37]  Is he the real?
[00:04:38]  I shouldn't have qualified it with a subjective term that might require interpretation.
[00:04:41]  That being the real.
[00:04:42]  Let's see, it's thinking.
[00:04:43]  Ooh.
[00:04:48]  We might get a.
[00:04:51]  Oh, is that amazing?
[00:04:53]  That's amazing.
[00:04:55]  When I did it, but watch this.
[00:04:57]  Because the last time, it's funny.
[00:04:58]  Here, watch this.
[00:04:59]  Is Brian Cole Jr.?
[00:05:03]  Let me, if my fat fingers can type properly, Brian Cole Jr., the Jan 6 pipe bomber.
[00:05:10]  Interesting.
[00:05:11]  And I'll tell you why this is it.
[00:05:13]  Yes or no, answer only.
[00:05:16]  Hmm.
[00:05:17]  This is cool.
[00:05:18]  Now everybody's seeing that I type like a watch this.
[00:05:22]  It's going to say yes.
[00:05:24]  And I'm going to know why now.
[00:05:26]  Ooh.
[00:05:28]  It's learning.
[00:05:29]  Luke, get your butt in here.
[00:05:31]  We can talk about this.
[00:05:33]  That is wild.
[00:05:34]  Previously, it gave me the answer yes, but it was a semantic because technically, Brian Cole Jr. is the January 6 pipe bomber because he was arrested and charged with that.
[00:05:41]  Then I added the word, is he the real pipe bomber?
[00:05:45]  And it says no, because even AI knows that Brian Cole Jr. is a Patsy sir.
[00:05:52]  Let me see what your shirt says.
[00:05:53]  Unvaxed, but okay, man.
[00:05:57]  We're going to get into.
[00:05:58]  I don't know if everybody knows everything about you, but you have good shirts.
[00:06:01]  For those who are listening on podcasts, it says unvaxed, but still autistic.
[00:06:06]  And the other one was unvaxed sperm.
[00:06:09]  What was it, $500 a load?
[00:06:11]  I'm not that cheap now, Viva.
[00:06:12]  Okay, it was a little higher than that.
[00:06:15]  It was $7,000.
[00:06:17]  And we have different iterations of it.
[00:06:19]  Now microplastic and seed oil-free.
[00:06:23]  So high-quality stuff here, okay?
[00:06:24]  We don't lowball here, all right?
[00:06:29]  Is the $7,000 a load?
[00:06:30]  Is that a play on the $7,000 per post for the pro-Israel conspiracy theory, or did that predate it?

=== Vaccine Myocarditis Study Links (04:58) ===

[00:06:37]  I think I created that because this happened during the COVID coup years where everyone was still going crazy.
[00:06:47]  The government was still trying to manipulate you and like fear-monger you to get the vaccine.
[00:06:51]  Do you see all these new?
[00:06:52]  I don't know if you could talk about it on this show.
[00:06:54]  Talk about everything anywhere.
[00:06:55]  I don't care.
[00:06:56]  When I play this on CommeTube, I don't even care if they penalize it.
[00:06:59]  Okay.
[00:06:59]  All right.
[00:07:00]  Yeah.
[00:07:00]  Because like there still are certain elements of things that you can't talk about, but the latest studies with COVID-19 vaccines, especially younger children, my goodness, those have been just absolutely terrifying.
[00:07:16]  But again, that's when we first started to come out with that kind of facetious line.
[00:07:23]  And then it was like $7,000 per post.
[00:07:26]  And I was like, did they just copy me based off my request for man juice?
[00:07:34]  But who knows?
[00:07:35]  Well, Luke, not fearing any censors, regardless, the latest coming out for COVID shots on children is what?
[00:07:41]  Is it interference with my understanding?
[00:07:44]  Latest that I heard was potentially impacting testicular functions.
[00:07:49]  Is there anything else that you've heard more recently?
[00:07:51]  Not just that.
[00:07:52]  The COVID vaccine went into a lot of the reproductive organs as soon as it was injected into you.
[00:07:56]  So it went into the ovaries of young women.
[00:07:58]  It went into the testicles of young men.
[00:08:00]  But there was another study specifically highlighting how, I'm going to have to pull it up.
[00:08:06]  But most of the, if not all of the children who got serious myocarditis got the COVID vaccine.
[00:08:16]  And there was a huge increase of it.
[00:08:18]  So there's a latest study now.
[00:08:19]  I'm going to pull it up just to...
[00:08:20]  And you can bring everything up.
[00:08:23]  You can share screen without authorization and don't worry, bring anything up so long as it's just share it in the private chat as well.
[00:08:30]  Okay, share it in the private chat and I'll bring it up and then you don't have to blame me for anything that goes wrong.
[00:08:35]  So a study involving 1.7 million children has found that myocarditis and pericarditis only appeared in children who received the COVID mRNA vaccine.
[00:08:44]  So that's a pretty big one here as well.
[00:08:46]  As I don't know what happened to your screen, I think you're just gone now.
[00:08:49]  We don't hear as you're coming back here now.
[00:08:52]  It has never happened to me before.
[00:08:57]  Okay.
[00:08:58]  In the private chat now.
[00:08:59]  Okay, good.
[00:09:00]  Yeah, that you broke something.
[00:09:02]  This is a link to a they know we're talking about it.
[00:09:04]  They're like, cut it off.
[00:09:07]  Stop it.
[00:09:09]  But no, the latest study is pretty, you know, it just confirms everything that we've been talking about for a while now.
[00:09:18]  That a lot of this was just nonsense.
[00:09:21]  A lot of this was just absolutely insanity.
[00:09:23]  And, you know, a lot of this does go back to Operation Warp Speed, which I still think deserves to be criticized.
[00:09:29]  And, you know, it's one of the kind of follies.
[00:09:31]  It's one of the kind of situations where looking back at it, I think the amount of, I mean, we should have full-on investigations into exactly what happened here.
[00:09:40]  I doubt we will.
[00:09:42]  Let me ask the question because this is the obvious question.
[00:09:46]  The cohort or the comparison is between unvaccinated and vaccinated children.
[00:09:50]  And according to the study, if we're believing what we're reading, none of the unvaccinated children got myocarditis.
[00:09:57]  I presume they also know if the unvaccinated children got a COVID infection.
[00:10:02]  I don't know if they went that far.
[00:10:04]  The obvious argument is going to be, let me just think about this, that the myocarditis, they'll argue that it's COVID infection related.
[00:10:13]  And now the question is going to have to be, how do you reconcile that with those who did not get the shot not getting myocarditis?
[00:10:20]  And then are we talking clinical or subclinical in terms of detection?
[00:10:25]  But then I think it's also fair to assume that all of us got COVID.
[00:10:28]  I don't think there were people that avoided it, right?
[00:10:30]  I think all of us got it in one way or another, right?
[00:10:34]  Some people got it a little bit later.
[00:10:36]  Some people got a different variant.
[00:10:37]  I think the variants were a byproduct of the kind of gene mutation that happened by messing with our immune system.
[00:10:43]  And I've argued, along with other scientists, that I think it was the procedure, the vaccine that actually prolonged it, created all these variant strains, and then allowed it to go on a lot longer than it would have had if it wasn't just for natural immunity.
[00:10:57]  Well, there was that argument.
[00:10:58]  You know, it makes more sense in retrospect.
[00:11:00]  There were those making that argument that you do not vaccinate going into a pandemic because for this very reason, especially with what they call the leaky vaccine.
[00:11:08]  Luke, before we get too far into the discussion, let everybody know who you are in case they're meeting you for the first time.
[00:11:14]  Independent YouTuber.
[00:11:15]  I've done a lot of stuff.
[00:11:16]  I've done short documentaries.
[00:11:17]  I've done confrontations.
[00:11:19]  I've done a lot of travel vlogging.
[00:11:20]  I've done everything in the space.
[00:11:22]  I've been in the space for way too long, about 21 years now.
[00:11:26]  So a lot of my adventures are on YouTube.
[00:11:29]  But even before YouTube, I was on blip.
[00:11:31]  I was on blip.tv.
[00:11:32]  That no longer exists.
[00:11:33]  But my main YouTube channel, youtube.com forward slash we are change.

=== Regime Change in Venezuela (16:07) ===

[00:11:36]  You can see a lot of the kind of wild, crazy adventure stuff we did.
[00:11:39]  Now we predominantly stick to commentary and me just hanging out with my dog and dog and chickens.
[00:11:44]  You were showing your dog earlier.
[00:11:48]  You had a similar post over the weekend.
[00:11:49]  Over the weekend, I'm like, this is everything's getting too serious.
[00:11:52]  Like, send me pictures and photos of your dog.
[00:11:54]  I just sent you photos and pictures of my chickens and my dogs here in South Florida as well.
[00:12:00]  We got to get out more in nature, man.
[00:12:02]  Like, touching grass and being out there in nature is so healing.
[00:12:07]  Every time I do a video, I literally run out and I'm like, okay, let's take care of the chickens.
[00:12:10]  All right, let's go run the dog.
[00:12:11]  So I've been just trying to keep my mental health as good as I can.
[00:12:15]  It seems like almost everyone's losing their minds right now.
[00:12:18]  It's, I've never, I mean, like, I have not been in this industry for as long as you, and I was, you know, apolitical when I first made my first viral video back in 2014.
[00:12:26]  It's, it's, it's objectively crazy, and it does cause you like, I get out in nature enough as it is and exercise and go biking and all this stuff.
[00:12:35]  There is the incessant obsession, not with anything other than the state of the world.
[00:12:42]  I've never seen it like this in my entire life.
[00:12:44]  And it's, I mean, I say it's only getting worse.
[00:12:47]  It's only getting worse on social media itself.
[00:12:50]  It's just, and it's weird to see Twitter turn into a place where you can now actually not even get reliable information consistently because of the amount of AI garbage, disinformation, misinformation, and gossip infighting as opposed to substantive discussion.
[00:13:07]  This is as bad as you've ever seen it.
[00:13:10]  It was pretty bad during the Bush years, early on, especially during the Iraq war, where even the Dixie chicks came out and they said, hey, maybe we shouldn't bomb Iraq.
[00:13:22]  And then they got just slandered and viciously attacked for it.
[00:13:27]  You know, if you go back then, you know, and you kind of think about it, the administration, the Bush administration, was literally arguing for torture.
[00:13:37]  And they called it enhanced interrogation.
[00:13:40]  And they, you know, called you an American.
[00:13:43]  We're kind of coming back to all of this full circle.
[00:13:48]  And it's kind of disturbing, especially with what we're seeing with Joe Kent.
[00:13:52]  It's kind of very eerily similar to what happened to Joe Wilson.
[00:13:54]  I don't know if you remember that story.
[00:13:57]  No, I'm not, I'm not particularly familiar with Joe Wilson's story in any meaningful detail, but I've seen the comparisons being drawn.
[00:14:02]  So flesh that out for us because, first of all, it's crazy.
[00:14:07]  And I actually just got into it with Ashton Forbes, who I had on the channel.
[00:14:11]  What's amazing is watching people turn into assholes with people who were, I'm not, he doesn't, he's not my friend or anything, but I've been nothing but cordial with him, even when others were calling him a grifter for you know believing that the plane MH7 with M370, the plane disappeared with some new technology.
[00:14:27]  Like I, I don't agree with it, never made fun of the guy.
[00:14:30]  Comes out now and is basically they're coming out now and railing against Joe Kent on the basis of a of a source.
[00:14:41]  No, but Mitch Snow.
[00:14:43]  Now they're saying Mitch Snow, this guy who everybody said was a whack job when he was talking about the Fort Hachulua meeting because it was a manufactured non-event, didn't happen and made Candace look stupid.
[00:14:55]  Now they're relying on him when he comes out and says, Joe Kent is the guy who vetted me, whatever that means.
[00:15:00]  And people come to me and they say, well, Viva, oh, now you're now you're not believing Mitch Snow when I was like, I never believed that guy in the first place.
[00:15:09]  I think the guy has always looked like a liar or a nutjob.
[00:15:12]  But these people who didn't trust Mitch Snow when he made up that story about the meeting now believe him when he says that Joe Kent vetted him for whatever the hell that means.
[00:15:21]  And people are turning into raging assholes real quick.
[00:15:25]  Yeah, I'm already confused by the situation.
[00:15:27]  And I think this is how they're able to get away with a lot of this stuff just by just flooding everything with as much nonsense as possible.
[00:15:36]  And it's like fake news on top of AI disinformation on top of anonymous account, on top of people piling on and attacking people.
[00:15:44]  I did see Twitter for a little bit there as soon as Elon Musk kind of bought it, being one of the few bastions of free speech.
[00:15:51]  It took a while to even bring back Alex Jones, if you remember.
[00:15:55]  We kind of forget how bad it was because you used to be able to like share a clip from Donald Trump and then you would get banned for it.
[00:16:03]  People forget just how awful it was.
[00:16:05]  During COVID, you couldn't even said it was, you know, probably from the Wuhan laboratory.
[00:16:11]  You got banned for that.
[00:16:12]  So I think we're returning to this kind of new day and age where the censorship is far more sophisticated.
[00:16:20]  And I think the perfect way to censor real, like, legitimate criticism is just by flooding the zone with as much nonsense and then counter signaling and releasing all these weird duplicitous messages.
[00:16:33]  So no one knows what's up and no one knows what's down.
[00:16:37]  I think that's what we're kind of involved in, this kind of disinformation superstorm that is actually creating mass psychosis of just it is amazing.
[00:16:46]  Like people, and I've seen a number of them, they say, oh, you trusted Mitch Snow when he talked about the Ford Hotel.
[00:16:52]  I never, never did.
[00:16:53]  It's not like I'm not protesting, but I never did because I never believed that in the first place.
[00:16:58]  I've been mildly.
[00:16:59]  I didn't either.
[00:17:00]  But then you have people say it, and then other people operate on the basis of that.
[00:17:03]  And I think you're definitely on to this being an iteration of Operation Co-Intel Pro, which is how you sow Discord, spread disinformation, and then other people repeat it, not even knowing it's disinformation.
[00:17:15]  Whether or not you have paid actors or whatever, I have heard rumors that there have been overt suppression or censorship politically motivated for those who are critics of this latest excursion.
[00:17:29]  I don't know that I would ever believe Elon Musk would actively participate in that.
[00:17:34]  But like you mentioned, there's other alternative ways of doing it, which is flooding the venue with disinformation so that nobody knows what's up and nobody knows what's AI and nobody knows who said what at any point in time.
[00:17:44]  Exactly.
[00:17:44]  And then we have the counter messaging, right?
[00:17:47]  And it's like, who's lying?
[00:17:48]  Like, who's telling the truth here?
[00:17:50]  As soon as this war started, the first thing I said is, it's not an excursion.
[00:17:54]  It's not an operation.
[00:17:55]  It's a war.
[00:17:55]  I mean, we're going after regime change.
[00:17:57]  Let's stop with the insane talk complaints.
[00:17:59]  And then these insane people are like, it's not a war.
[00:18:02]  And then at the same, in the same breath, they're in the same speech.
[00:18:05]  They're like, but it's been a war for 47 years.
[00:18:08]  I'm like, really?
[00:18:10]  And then, do you see what I'm sharing here?
[00:18:12]  I think, yeah, here we go.
[00:18:13]  And then you get called, I don't know, names.
[00:18:17]  I don't know what names are called.
[00:18:19]  Listen to this.
[00:18:19]  I was going to start the show with this one, but I didn't want to get into it before you came in.
[00:18:23]  And I said, this statement from the president confirms two things which were hotly denied or disputed.
[00:18:32]  Be jointly controlled.
[00:18:35]  By whom?
[00:18:35]  Oh, this is not the right question.
[00:18:36]  Maybe me.
[00:18:37]  Jointly controlled me.
[00:18:39]  Me and the Ayatollah, whoever the Ayatollah is, whoever the next Ayatollah.
[00:18:43]  Look, and there'll also be a form of a very serious form of a regime change.
[00:18:49]  Now, in all fairness, everybody's been killed from the regime.
[00:18:54]  They're really starting off.
[00:18:55]  There's automatically a regime change.
[00:18:58]  But we're dealing with some people that I find to be very reasonable, very solid.
[00:19:05]  The people within know who they are.
[00:19:06]  They're very respected.
[00:19:08]  And maybe one of them will be exactly what we're looking for.
[00:19:12]  Look at Venezuela, how well that's working out.
[00:19:15]  Here, pause.
[00:19:16]  Two things.
[00:19:16]  I said the funny thing is I wasn't trying to vague post.
[00:19:19]  I just'm trying to post neutrally without people accusing me of being anti-Trump because I'm not for quite obvious reasons.
[00:19:28]  Two things confirm there.
[00:19:29]  It's regime change.
[00:19:30]  It's a war.
[00:19:31]  I think we've established that now.
[00:19:33]  And Trump was led to believe that this would be as easy as what he did in Venezuela.
[00:19:37]  And we learned the wrong lessons from the Venezuela regime regime change, which wasn't.
[00:19:43]  It was just law enforcement action.
[00:19:45]  And people say this is going to be Venezuela 2.0, while others are saying, no, this is going to be Iraq 2.0.
[00:19:50]  But this is coming from Trump himself, where for the last month, his sycophants on Twitter, and I will call them that, have been saying, it's not a war.
[00:19:58]  It's just pinpoint strikes.
[00:19:59]  Okay, it's a war, but it'll be a short war.
[00:20:00]  Or it'll be a few months long, but no boots on the ground.
[00:20:03]  Well, we might have to have boots on the ground to secure the Straits of Hormuz and that island.
[00:20:07]  And it's not regime change, but it's regime change.
[00:20:10]  And it's not like Venezuela, but look what happened in Venezuela, and this will be the same thing.
[00:20:14]  Yeah, it's like, how do you make sense of it?
[00:20:16]  Like, clearly, this is not Venezuela.
[00:20:18]  Clearly, it's not a couple hour-long operation with microwave weapons, right?
[00:20:22]  We're not doing that.
[00:20:23]  It's not Iraq, but it's shaping up to have a lot of the same kind of components and the same type of propaganda with Iraq.
[00:20:31]  Now, Iraq is, I've gotten my start with 9-11 and then, of course, the Iraq war protesting that all the way back then when I was still a teenager.
[00:20:41]  But it was the same type of propaganda.
[00:20:43]  You heard Donald Rumsfeld being like, oh, it's just going to be a few weeks, right?
[00:20:48]  First, it was a few days.
[00:20:50]  And we have to understand that there's a lot of kind of components here moving very fast, that there are big kind of escalatory tracks that are very dangerous.
[00:21:02]  And it's important, you know, because I get there are some sycophants.
[00:21:05]  There are some people that are just going to worship power and authority.
[00:21:09]  But we shouldn't be doing that now, right?
[00:21:12]  I think one of the most kind of detrimental aspects of this is like putting Trump in front of Fox News.
[00:21:17]  It's Fox News is literally saying 190% support.
[00:21:21]  I'm like, that's not what the average person wants or hears or is actually represented clearly.
[00:21:30]  So obviously there's a big kind of disconnect.
[00:21:32]  And we kind of really need to hone in the conversation, not get bogged down and confused by the noise.
[00:21:39]  And I just made this point earlier with one of my videos saying, look, a lot of different noise about negotiations, destroying all of them, not having anyone to negotiate with.
[00:21:47]  Iranians saying there was no negotiations.
[00:21:50]  Now there are some Iranians saying that there were negotiations.
[00:21:52]  Regardless of any of that, we need to understand that the bigger talking point should be take a step back, just de-escalate, just stop this madness, stop this nonsense, and let's end this.
[00:22:02]  And let's stop it from escalating even further because there's serious consequences, especially when it comes to bombing their infrastructure, which we're now going to see if Israel and BB actually do, if they're able, if Donald Trump is actually able to hone them in so they don't go after their key pieces of infrastructure.
[00:22:18]  There was allegedly a lot of disarray between the Americans and the Israelis when their major oil refinery was hit.
[00:22:26]  Now, Trump is also talking about going after all of their energy resources.
[00:22:31]  He's talking about them being obliterated, but they're still launching missiles and threatening to go after all the energy resources in the Middle East, which would be, of course, tragic for the world economy and deal with more problems.
[00:22:41]  I think the simple kind of logical explanation was, and we got this reporting from Bloomberg, that it was Murdoch and Bibi Netanyahu, as well as Kushner, that kind of talked Trump into this.
[00:22:55]  And it's important to note here that BB has been trying to do this ever since Bush was in office.
[00:23:00]  Bush said no.
[00:23:01]  Even Blinken, whether you believe him or not, the former Secretary of State under Joe Biden, he came out and says, yeah, Bibi was trying to get Barack Obama to do this.
[00:23:09]  He was trying to get Joe Biden to do this.
[00:23:12]  And it looks like Donald Trump's the only one who really did this.
[00:23:15]  As now Joe Kent comes out and contradicts their official version of events of how they were an imminent threat.
[00:23:20]  And now everyone's attacking Joe Kent.
[00:23:21]  And I'm saying, stop attacking each other.
[00:23:23]  Just de-escalate.
[00:23:24]  Just end this.
[00:23:25]  Let's move forward as a country where we don't hyper-focus on spending all of our money and then asking for $200 billion more on this prolonged conflict that clearly doesn't serve the best interests of the American people and our geopolitical hegemonic goals here.
[00:23:40]  Joe Kent came out with a tweet this morning that, you know, again, when you see the replies are all ad hominem, you can know who you're dealing with, not of good faith, but rather who has better arguments.
[00:23:50]  Joe Kent came out, and if I can bring up the tweet, I will.
[00:23:53]  Says basically, this is what happens over and over again.
[00:23:56]  America says we're going to step back, try to have some form of détente, and Israel goes and strikes another, you know, basically acts in a way that sabotages the détente.
[00:24:07]  That's what, and then, and then Joe Kent said Trump is strong and he can get this done.
[00:24:11]  And then all the replies are, I thought you said the Jews controlled Trump and now you're, or he's not going to sleep with you type thing.
[00:24:17]  Address the very point itself.
[00:24:19]  Now, there might be reasons for which this happens that are not necessarily malice if people want to go there.
[00:24:25]  Confusion of war and mixed messaging or crossed wires, or they get the message too late.
[00:24:31]  They've already had a mission planned because this happened also during the other 12-day war that wasn't a war, whereafter Trump says, you know, it's over and then Israel goes and carries out another strike and they say, stop doing that.
[00:24:44]  I just sent the tweet in a private message on the studio, just so you could go through and read it.
[00:24:49]  But Trump's comments today saying, hey, who are you negotiating with?
[00:24:53]  He's like, I don't know.
[00:24:55]  I can't tell you because he's going to get assassinated.
[00:24:59]  By whom is the question?
[00:25:01]  Is it his central command?
[00:25:02]  Is it his military that's going to assassinate the person that he wants to negotiate with?
[00:25:06]  No.
[00:25:07]  I think we all know who he's talking about here.
[00:25:09]  And it kind of lends to what Joe Ken is hinting at here: of the Israelis and Bibi escalating here.
[00:25:16]  As, of course, a couple of days ago, I even reported how there are rumors of the Israelis going after targeting a lot of the key people who would be the best to negotiate with because they don't want negotiations.
[00:25:26]  Bibi openly declared how he wants Israel not just to be a regional superpower, but a global superpower.
[00:25:34]  And I made this point on the Tim Cash show with Michael Malice, and we were talking about this, saying specifically, I think that's the plan overall: make Israel the superpower in the region, and then the U.S. is going to move over towards Asia.
[00:25:44]  And then that's where a lot of our efforts are going to be kind of concentrated and focused on from this kind of new idea of a new project for a new American century that's being kind of conveyed in this kind of hybrid, neoconservative type of way.
[00:25:56]  It is interesting.
[00:25:57]  You make these points.
[00:25:58]  I've heard these arguments, and I'm now sort of coming to my own conclusions where Libya was a disaster from the Libyan perspective, not necessarily a disaster from having another totally destabilized country in the that's not merely the Middle East, it's more Africa, but having a destabilized nation in the area.
[00:26:16]  Syria was an abject disaster for Syria and Syrians, but you've eliminated a potential power competitor in the region.
[00:26:24]  I said, okay, if the goal here is you can't get into the base of the mountains because now the nuclear stuff is too far down if it wasn't destroyed the first time around, if the goal here is just to literally fuck up Iran for the next 20 years, then say so.
[00:26:40]  I mean, say, okay, we're not going to be able to go in boots on the ground.
[00:26:44]  We're just going to mess it up sufficiently, set it back to the dark ages.
[00:26:46]  It'll be, again, like Syria and Libya for Iran, but at least they'll spend their time fighting within as opposed to being a threat to others around them.
[00:26:53]  And you're going to have one regional superpower without competition.
[00:26:58]  That seems to be the strategy.
[00:27:00]  Just say it.
[00:27:01]  And I guess the reason why they would never say something like that is it would be politically unpalatable in the West.
[00:27:08]  Yeah.
[00:27:08]  I mean, how are you going to sell the fact that they're a threat for like 30 years?
[00:27:14]  And they did this with Iraq.
[00:27:16]  I mean, if you remember, and I bring this back because I think it's important to remember history because they're playing it back from the same playbook.
[00:27:23]  Back then, B.B. Nania, who came out to Congress and said, Iraq, they have nuclear weapons and they're going to strike New York, almost verbatim, almost same thing he said about Iran.
[00:27:33]  And then he talked about how the Iraq war is going to be great for stabilizing the region.
[00:27:38]  Not really.
[00:27:39]  It created ISIS and a major destabilizing effort.

=== Iraq Playbook for Modern Threats (15:19) ===

[00:27:43]  And then we had a member of the Bush White House, Joe Wilson, tasked with investigating Iraq getting uranium from, what was it, Niger, right?
[00:27:54]  They're like, okay, Joe Wilson, go investigate, go look into and find the link of the uranium that the Iraqis have from this African country.
[00:28:04]  He came back and he says, yeah, they didn't get any uranium from Niger.
[00:28:09]  And Bush, a couple of days later, having the intelligence during the State of the Union said, yeah, they got nuclear stuff from Niger, which wasn't true.
[00:28:19]  And then Joe Wilson's wife was exposed by Dick Cheney when she was a covert CIA agent as a revenge to go after him, actually whistleblowing and talking about how there was no nuclear energy given to Iraq from Niger.
[00:28:36]  So it's like so much disinformation, so much propaganda, and it's just whatever they could come out with.
[00:28:42]  There's no intelligence.
[00:28:44]  There's no evidence.
[00:28:45]  And again, I'm an evidence guy.
[00:28:48]  Once the media and all these people said Trump was colluding with the Russians, I was like, show me the evidence, right?
[00:28:53]  Where's the intel agency?
[00:28:55]  Show me the evidence.
[00:28:56]  They haven't provided any evidence here.
[00:28:58]  They're going from the same playbook.
[00:28:59]  This is becoming very similar to Iraq, as now a lot of people talk about the latest statements today being by Trump potentially being a way to just postpone so we could have boots on the ground.
[00:29:11]  So that's the worst case scenario that I think is possible that I think we should try to avoid at all costs.
[00:29:17]  I want to, you know, let me bring up the Rumble Rants because everybody says this isn't Iraq.
[00:29:22]  If two things were the same thing, you wouldn't compare them because they would be one thing.
[00:29:26]  So obviously Iran is not Iraq.
[00:29:28]  It's not 2003 anymore.
[00:29:30]  You're going by similarities.
[00:29:31]  You're going by rhyming and you're going by modus operandi because while times change, countries change, human condition and tactics don't necessarily change.
[00:29:42]  And like Alex Jones always said, they do the same tactics over and over again because they work.
[00:29:47]  So they're not the same, but they sure as hell run.
[00:29:49]  So here it says, I'm not reading the bottom one.
[00:29:52]  808 Scotty says, BD gave Trump the golden pager as a warning.
[00:29:55]  They have control of Trump, Israel hit hit off more than they can chew this time.
[00:29:58]  Old man Toby says, why aren't you guys talking about the revolution that was happening before any military actions even started?
[00:30:03]  That's different than Iraq.
[00:30:04]  Not everything is Iraq.
[00:30:06]  I want to highlight some stark similarities to Iraq.
[00:30:09]  The first of which was weapons of mass destruction, which turned out to be not just inaccurate, it turned out to be a lie because they knew it wasn't the case at the time.
[00:30:20]  Then you had the moving goalpost.
[00:30:21]  Now, I'm not saying with Iran that they don't have nuclear aspirations.
[00:30:27]  The whole fudging of the line here is nuclear aspirations versus posing an imminent threat or being weeks away from making a nuclear bomb.
[00:30:35]  That goalpost is also now continually moving as it's moved from imminent threat of nuclear weapons or development to drones, ballistic missiles, long-range missiles, exactly like what they did in Iraq.
[00:30:47]  When they didn't find WMDs, they said, oh, they have Scud missiles, which they weren't supposed to have under whatever international treaty was at the time.
[00:30:53]  And therefore, that retroactively justifies our decision.
[00:30:57]  The revolution that people think started, Luke, correct me if I'm wrong.
[00:31:03]  Is there not evidence that it might have been something of a quasi-potentially manufactured or at the very least manipulated revolution from other intelligence sources from various countries?
[00:31:12]  Are we talking about Iraq here specifically?
[00:31:14]  No, we're talking about Iran now.
[00:31:16]  Yes.
[00:31:16]  Well, Mossad says even Seth admittedly that they had agents in the protests.
[00:31:23]  So, obviously, creating and fomenting civil unrest and protest, it's right out of the playbook of the economic hitman.
[00:31:31]  I don't know if you ever read that book, fascinating, interesting book, but it highlights the many types of sabotage events.
[00:31:39]  Now, obviously, I'm not a fan of the Iranian regime.
[00:31:42]  I'm not a fan of a theocracy.
[00:31:43]  I'm not here to run defense of a democracy.
[00:31:49]  But it's impossible to know because, again, the Iranians cut off their internet.
[00:31:53]  We don't know who's what.
[00:31:55]  We do know that the Israelis were taking credit for it, right?
[00:31:59]  Another thing, just to bring up your point with Iraq here, we have to remember from the very beginning of this conflict, there was about a year where everyone saw the Iraq war as a major success, right?
[00:32:10]  People forget about it.
[00:32:11]  People, shock and awe, exactly what we saw, mission accomplished 42 days in, and eight to 10 years later, well, it didn't start off as a forever war.
[00:32:21]  Exactly.
[00:32:22]  And then our troops were kind of there, and then our just munitions just fell into the hands of radicalized groups.
[00:32:31]  And now we're talking about giving arms to radical communists and to other al-Qaeda members in the region to go fight the Iranian regime here.
[00:32:41]  So it's just the same old kind of playbook here.
[00:32:44]  And I know, you know, Iran is not Iraq here, but there's a lot of different parallels here.
[00:32:50]  I think one of the biggest significant differences is that Iran was paying close attention to what happened in Iraq because they kind of understood that they were next and they made a lot of preparations to make sure that they were prepared and ready for what was going to be happening next.
[00:33:04]  Let me bring it up.
[00:33:05]  I know it's AI people, but it's not always useless.
[00:33:08]  And it summarizes the information.
[00:33:11]  In late December 2025, Mossad made a rare acknowledgement that its agents were, quote, in the field, end quote, in Iran, using its farsi language X account to encourage demonstrators to continue protesting against the regime.
[00:33:21]  It's possible it's a false admission as well, in that it's part of the psychological warfare or whatever.
[00:33:28]  But reports indicate a quote deeply entrenched end quote human presence in spite.
[00:33:31]  I mean, the idea that they wouldn't have assets there, that they can get pagers into the hands of terrorists over the course of five years, but they wouldn't have assets in Iran, either just for intel purposes or manipulation purposes.
[00:33:42]  You know, you'd have to be more ignorant to believe it's not true than a conspiracy theorist to think it is true.
[00:33:48]  And whether or not it's a true statement, they made it.
[00:33:50]  We lived through it, and I remember it now, and I won't forget it.
[00:33:53]  So there's that.
[00:33:56]  The question is: where the hell does this go?
[00:33:58]  Because it's a, I'm not saying a falling knife.
[00:34:02]  It's a perpetual moving target where you don't know what the objective is to even know when you've achieved that objective so that you can back out and then claim some form of victory.
[00:34:12]  I think that's a good point that you made there that I think highlights the kind of weird messaging here.
[00:34:17]  The messaging has been off.
[00:34:18]  It's not reassuring.
[00:34:20]  If you're a member of the U.S. military, you're like kind of confused because you're being told operations winding down.
[00:34:27]  And then you're told, but we're just beginning.
[00:34:29]  And it's like, troops are on their way, but we're ending this.
[00:34:33]  Which one is it?
[00:34:35]  And we need another $200 billion for the arsenal of freedom because bad guys don't kill themselves.
[00:34:41]  Or sorry, no, it was it costs money to kill bad guys.
[00:34:44]  Yes.
[00:34:45]  And it's like, okay, who's the bad guys here?
[00:34:47]  Like, are we just going after bad guys in general?
[00:34:50]  I mean, there's a lot of bad guys out there.
[00:34:52]  So, I mean, obviously, I think this is a big mistake.
[00:34:56]  I think this is not good for the U.S. economy.
[00:34:59]  I don't think it's good for the U.S. petrol dollar.
[00:35:02]  You know, Iran a couple of years ago was trading their oil on the U.S. petrol dollar system.
[00:35:07]  I think that would have been, you know, and again, all of this just seems like such a blunder, such a huge mistake.
[00:35:15]  As a lot of people are reporting that the kind of boomer population that does support some aspects of this, and we can't say that they don't exist, but because they're dying out, that the lobby, they're just going for broke.
[00:35:28]  I think there's been a message sent out, and I want to know what you think about this, that they're going to just lose the midterms, that they're going to lose the boomers, they're going to lose support for Israel.
[00:35:39]  And they're just saying, you know what, we just got to go for it now because if we don't go for it now, we can't ever do it ever again.
[00:35:44]  I think that highlights the kind of desperate move that isn't really calculated.
[00:35:50]  And obviously, strategically, when it comes to U.S. hegemony and the U.S. petrodollar isn't the best for America's empire and the American people.
[00:35:59]  If that were the strategy, then they would have waited until after the midterms and hope to have run for the midterms on having respected the MAGA Maha movement.
[00:36:09]  I do want to show this because it's hilarious.
[00:36:11]  No, that's not the right one.
[00:36:12]  It's this one.
[00:36:13]  Wow, you guys should go back to blowing Candace.
[00:36:15]  The amount of shit that I've taken for being critical of Candace, I mean, this is where like, it's just, if I don't block people, but I cannot imagine what it feels like to be a not value-added and actually destructive, destructive and distractions to meaningful discussion.
[00:36:31]  No, look, if that were the plan, why, you know, they couldn't have waited until after the midterms, where at least if there's going to be the damage, it won't be potentially at the risk of impeachments, which will cripple the next two years.
[00:36:43]  If the next two years are going to be crippled anyhow, wait until after you've either minimized the damage or won the midterms.
[00:36:49]  But you've lived through this now also, where it was, we're going to win the midterms and now we're going to lose them, but it's always the party in power that loses the midterms.
[00:36:57]  Yeah.
[00:36:58]  So there's two, I think, overwhelming thoughts here.
[00:37:00]  And I kind of talked about this with Tim.
[00:37:05]  There's two different thoughts here.
[00:37:06]  One is that Trump's working for America and the American Empire, and that this is a 4D chess move somehow that's going to work and somehow lower oil prices, even though when we're bombing their oil infrastructure and make sure that the prices are going to continue to go up from here.
[00:37:20]  And another one being like, hey, the ship is sinking and the elites are just grabbing and getting whatever they can before it fully sinks here.
[00:37:29]  Now, strategically, I'm more in line with just understanding that the ship is sinking and that the elites are just going for broke, getting whatever they can.
[00:37:38]  Because strategically, what you're talking about here would be a more smarter, more intelligent kind of approach to this, right?
[00:37:46]  Because if you're Trump, you're understanding, hey, I got a slim majority in Congress.
[00:37:50]  I got the Senate.
[00:37:50]  I got the Supreme Court right now.
[00:37:52]  I should hyper-focus on domestic policies and single-issue votes and bills that actually do help the American people.
[00:38:00]  Then, when the Democrats are in power, then I'll do all this crazy foreign policy stuff that doesn't need kind of congressional approval or anything else.
[00:38:07]  That would be the smarter, more logical move, which I would argue would be the kind of strategic move that would be more politically calculated.
[00:38:18]  That's not what happened here.
[00:38:20]  I think we are on the precipice of major financial turmoil.
[00:38:24]  And I think the ship is sinking.
[00:38:25]  And I think the elites are just going for broke.
[00:38:28]  I want to bring it up because I'm predicting you're going to see people saying, oh, I'm tired of losing.
[00:38:32]  Look, the oil price is down 10% today.
[00:38:36]  Announced on the news that there might be some discussions to pull back.
[00:38:40]  And so the prices are dropping.
[00:38:42]  They showed the sycophants on Twitter the last time it dropped 10%.
[00:38:45]  Of course, it went from $83 to $76.
[00:38:48]  And they said, I'm so tired of winning.
[00:38:50]  And then it went to nearly $100 for crude.
[00:38:56]  Some people are.
[00:38:57]  But then it's also because of the Iranian oil, right?
[00:39:00]  The United States over the weekend says, yeah, we're just going to unsanction Iranian oil.
[00:39:05]  So that explains why temporarily.
[00:39:10]  Well, it's temporary on the statement that there might be a detente.
[00:39:15]  We'll see if it comes.
[00:39:16]  And then even still, we're still now at 40 some odd percent over what it was a month ago before all of this started.
[00:39:23]  Look, have you ever seen anything?
[00:39:25]  I mean, we're living through it right now.
[00:39:27]  And the analogy that I had in my mind was Mark Twain said, when you're on the side of the majority, it's time to take a step back and reflect.
[00:39:34]  And there's a lot of people now, they might not be on the side of the numerical majority, but they're on the side of the power majority in their sycophanting or sucking up to the administration and saying, yes, yes, yes, everything you do is great.
[00:39:45]  And anyone who has the slightest bit of good conscience criticism or skepticism is a traitor and they should shut the hell up.
[00:39:53]  Are you dismayed at the level of bully?
[00:39:57]  I mean, there's no other word for it.
[00:39:58]  Not that I take it personally.
[00:40:00]  The type of bullying that comes from people who find themselves or think that they are aligned with the administration trying to shut down any dissenting discourse.
[00:40:08]  Yeah, I mean, I try to not give it much time and I just try to stay focused on the mission of trying to call for de-escalations here.
[00:40:15]  We can't get distracted because they want you distracted.
[00:40:17]  They want you demoralized.
[00:40:19]  They want you feeling like resistance is futile.
[00:40:22]  But you have to understand, like, a lot of these people are just shills.
[00:40:25]  Some of them are paid.
[00:40:26]  Some of them are bots.
[00:40:27]  Some of them are just literally reaching out all of their kind of propaganda limits, trying to just counter and change the narrative.
[00:40:38]  I mean, this whole thing, maybe I'm more immune to it because I saw it during the Iraq war.
[00:40:44]  I was protesting the Iraq war.
[00:40:45]  I said it was going to be a big mistake.
[00:40:47]  Donald Trump talked about how it was a big mistake.
[00:40:49]  Donald Trump talked about how it was a huge grave error by Bush to do so.
[00:40:55]  I think those messages still matter.
[00:40:58]  I think Trump still listens.
[00:41:00]  And I still think we need to stay hyper-focused, not get too engaged with the trolls.
[00:41:04]  There's always going to be trolls.
[00:41:05]  There's always going to be individuals that are going to just try to dissuade you and get you involved in these mud fights.
[00:41:11]  I don't get involved.
[00:41:12]  Hyper-focus on the message.
[00:41:14]  De-escalate.
[00:41:14]  Stop this nonsense.
[00:41:16]  I've been through it before.
[00:41:17]  We're going through it again.
[00:41:18]  I've been through it with Barack Obama's people.
[00:41:20]  I've been through it with George W. Bush's people.
[00:41:23]  There's a reason Bill O'Reilly called me, he called me a jihad-loving liberal, right?
[00:41:28]  Chris Matthews of MSNBC called me a right-wing teabagger when Barack Obama was in charge.
[00:41:33]  I'm used to all this stuff.
[00:41:34]  Like, there's always going to be detractors.
[00:41:36]  There's always going to be people trying to take you away from the main kind of conversation.
[00:41:40]  But the conversation should be, where's America going to benefit from this?
[00:41:45]  De-escalate it now.
[00:41:46]  Stop this mistake.
[00:41:48]  And let's move forward in a way where we focus on America and this country and its people.
[00:41:53]  That message, it's simple.
[00:41:55]  I don't care.
[00:41:56]  People attack me, attack me, say whatever you want.
[00:41:59]  I don't care.
[00:42:00]  Like, I've been through it.
[00:42:00]  It's fine.
[00:42:01]  I want to bring this one up.
[00:42:02]  I'm going to get to some of the rumble rants and tip questions in our locals, but this one highlights something.
[00:42:06]  Really think people are scared that Democrats will put MAGA in jail.
[00:42:10]  Instead, why not really back Trump then instead of caving?
[00:42:13]  Set aside the caving because nobody's caving when you're staying true to principles that you've been holding for a long time.
[00:42:18]  Why not back Trump then?
[00:42:19]  The criticism is the backing of Trump.
[00:42:23]  This type of conduct is what gets Democrats back in power.
[00:42:27]  It is what gets the Democrats impeaching.
[00:42:29]  It is what gets the Democrat lawfare back in power.
[00:42:33]  Not respecting the coalition that got Trump elected because you don't get elected by saying, fuck off, people, we don't need your votes, like some idiots are doing.
[00:42:42]  100% of MAGA support the Iranian.
[00:42:45]  First of all, when media reports that, they often use it as an indirect insult, as in nothing is ever 100%.
[00:42:52]  When you say the black population votes for Democrats at 85 to 90%, they're not saying it as a positive.
[00:42:57]  When they say the Jewish population votes Democrat, 70 to 80%, it's not a compliment.

=== Stop Self-Sabotaging the Coalition (09:48) ===

[00:43:02]  Ideological homogeneity is not a good thing.
[00:43:06]  And they're actually sort of saying it to make Trump look like something of a, I don't know, a dictator that gets 100% approval.
[00:43:13]  The criticism is to keep the Democrats out of power, not to bring Trump down.
[00:43:17]  And these, and you're not going to browbeat people into supporting something they've been vocal about for the last two years.
[00:43:23]  When you see these idiots flipping their tweets one year over the next, it's transparent, sycophancy, and intellectual dishonesty.
[00:43:32]  And that's not how you get people to vote for you.
[00:43:34]  The internet is forever.
[00:43:35]  Exactly.
[00:43:36]  They're like self-sabotaging each other.
[00:43:38]  They're the ones destroying not just the legacy, the coalition, the broad amount of people that came together on the pretty clear campaign promises, right?
[00:43:49]  We knew what we were getting.
[00:43:50]  Like we were saying, hey, you want World War III or you want Donald Trump?
[00:43:55]  And it's like, whoa, looking back at it, it's like, well, that seems to be wrong here.
[00:44:03]  And it's like, the people who are noticing are the problem?
[00:44:05]  No.
[00:44:06]  Are the people who are noticing and realizing, you know, clearly have a love for this country, a love for the people.
[00:44:13]  And just thinking strategically, this is going to be seen as a major blunder, a major mistake.
[00:44:20]  And if you care about someone, you tell them the truth.
[00:44:23]  You don't gaslight them.
[00:44:24]  You don't brown nose them.
[00:44:25]  No no.
[00:44:27]  Luke, Luke, the Epstein files, no big deal.
[00:44:29]  I mean, I know some of us have been clamoring for it for the last six years, but we were told it's no big deal.
[00:44:33]  So move on and support Pan Bondi.
[00:44:36]  You think you convince people by being duplicitous, deceitful, untrustworthy scumbags?
[00:44:41]  No, I know who the people were that tweeted, release the Epstein files, and then shut up, you doom pillars, no more about the Epstein files.
[00:44:48]  You look like idiots and you'll always look like idiots.
[00:44:51]  And you've burnt any goodwill that you had among people who had relied on you for at least some emoticum of intellectual honesty.
[00:44:58]  Yeah.
[00:44:58]  And I don't think it's a coincidence that the Mark Levins and the Ben Shapiros are underplaying the Epstein files.
[00:45:03]  They're like, this doesn't matter.
[00:45:04]  It's a big distraction.
[00:45:06]  Stop talking about them.
[00:45:07]  And I'm like, well, they do matter.
[00:45:10]  And I do believe there's a lot of high-level predators still out there that are still continuing to do really awful, horrible things to small children.
[00:45:18]  That is worth fighting for.
[00:45:19]  That is the deep state.
[00:45:20]  That is the swamp.
[00:45:21]  That is the epitome of deep-rooted corruption that we were promised justice against and that we never got.
[00:45:29]  So that disillusioned a bunch of people.
[00:45:31]  And it's like, how dare you be blackpilled?
[00:45:33]  I'm like, you're the ones, you guys are the ones giving out the black pills.
[00:45:36]  I don't want to be blackpilled.
[00:45:37]  Get that meme.
[00:45:38]  Who blackpilled you?
[00:45:39]  You did.
[00:45:42]  It's amazing.
[00:45:42]  And the idea that support means encouraging someone when they're doing something that you, I remember what I supported.
[00:45:49]  Like, I'm not, I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
[00:45:52]  And now it's true.
[00:45:53]  Once you're in the thick of it, you know, what choices do you have left?
[00:45:56]  It's sort of like, oddly enough, it's the same, I call it, I mean, maybe emotional extortion or intellectual extortion where people say, Vivi, you're Jewish.
[00:46:08]  And if you don't, you know, blindly support everything Israel does, well, they're going to come for all of us anyhow.
[00:46:12]  So you better make sure you win.
[00:46:14]  I'm like, that's blackmail.
[00:46:17]  That's not reason.
[00:46:18]  That's not rationalizing anything.
[00:46:20]  That's blackmail to say, you better support what you disagree with because when they come for all of us, they're going to come for you too.
[00:46:25]  A, I have no doubts about that, but that doesn't mean I'm going to compromise what I think is right for the purposes of self-preservation because now they've gone so far off the rails.
[00:46:34]  If I don't ratify their off the rails, well, when they come back for retribution, they're going to get me, even though I was critical of it.
[00:46:40]  I appreciate that.
[00:46:41]  But well, they're going to get all of us.
[00:46:43]  And Trump's also building up the infrastructure for them to get us even more.
[00:46:48]  National ID, facial recognition, the centralizing of databases.
[00:46:53]  And I'm like, you're setting up the infrastructure, right, for Agenda 2030 that is being pushed that I didn't want, that I didn't vote for, that's going to give the Democrats who clearly now have a straight line to power the ability to come in and destroy everything and take all.
[00:47:14]  And this is the kind of frustrating part because I think you see it.
[00:47:17]  I see it.
[00:47:18]  A lot of other people see it.
[00:47:20]  We see the road that we're on, right?
[00:47:22]  And it's not a good road.
[00:47:23]  It's a road that's going to have us in major, significant economic, societal, political trouble, right?
[00:47:30]  And we're speeding through it and we're saying, guys, guys, let's change directions.
[00:47:33]  There's a different path available here.
[00:47:35]  As someone even mentioned, we had the best opportunity to go after some of the most rotten, corrupted institutions, a part of our society.
[00:47:44]  And we squandered that and we're wasting all of our political capital and will on bombing another country in the Middle East that clearly has nothing to do with us or our benefits on the global stage.
[00:47:55]  Why are we doing this?
[00:47:57]  So that's the frustrating part because I think me and you understand that the speech that we have now, it's going to close soon, right?
[00:48:04]  The ability for us to communicate our kind of freedoms, our ability to even just have these types of shows, it's going to go away soon.
[00:48:13]  And we're like warning people.
[00:48:14]  And because we're warning people, some people decide to make us the number one enemy, but when in reality, we're the ones telling people the hard truth that they need to hear.
[00:48:25]  What's amazing, it was the same loser logic that they used in the last Canadian elections, which is, Viva, you better get behind Pierre Polliev and support him, even if he's the worst of the two options, or even if he's failing in the election, because if you don't, then the liberals get into power.
[00:48:42]  The coalition that got Trump elected, and it was a coalition, is how you get elected by bringing people together.
[00:48:49]  This purity test that's now rampant among those who think or are connected to the administration to say, you better get in line and support us.
[00:48:59]  Otherwise, we're all going to sink together.
[00:49:03]  That's how you lose elections by alienating the coalition that got you elected in the first place.
[00:49:08]  And it's great.
[00:49:09]  100% of MAGA support the war in Iran.
[00:49:11]  It's going to consist of maybe on the ground, it's much more than we think it is based on the X silo, but I talk to people in real life.
[00:49:19]  And my own opinion is my own opinion.
[00:49:22]  But you'll get to 100%.
[00:49:23]  You're going to get to subtraction by subtraction because it'll be 100% of a quarter of your base.
[00:49:27]  And that's not how you can possibly win or retain power.
[00:49:31]  Yeah, it's like a self-sabotaging attack.
[00:49:33]  And we're like, hey, stop self-sabotaging, focus on America and the American people.
[00:49:37]  We got a lot of serious problems here.
[00:49:38]  And it's like, shut up, you're anti-American.
[00:49:41]  And I'm like, well, no, like you're leading us down a pathway where America and its people get screwed over.
[00:49:49]  Right.
[00:49:50]  So that's what we're trying to prevent.
[00:49:52]  We're trying to stop.
[00:49:53]  I think they wouldn't be attacking us if we didn't matter.
[00:49:56]  Right.
[00:49:57]  They wouldn't be putting out all the stops and being as disingenuous and being as fake and being as hyperbolic and insane as they are if our messaging didn't matter.
[00:50:05]  I think they understand they need to silence us.
[00:50:07]  They want to disillusion us.
[00:50:08]  They want to blackpill us.
[00:50:10]  They want to doomer pill us.
[00:50:11]  And I think we should never give up fighting for the American people, for the American country, for these ideas that I think are beautiful and worth fighting for.
[00:50:19]  The American people are amazing.
[00:50:21]  The government needs fixing dramatically.
[00:50:25]  We need a lot of cuts.
[00:50:27]  And there's been on the domestic side.
[00:50:28]  Can you imagine?
[00:50:29]  Like, we haven't mentioned Pam Bondi in the last two months, all of the failings of the DOJ because of this.
[00:50:35]  And I won't call it a distraction because that would imply intent, but because of this tangential news, no deep state Russia gate arrests.
[00:50:44]  Mueller, time took care, time took out the justice on Mueller.
[00:50:48]  And Tulsi gave her the documents on her desk.
[00:50:50]  Tulsi was like, hey, we have criminal referrals.
[00:50:52]  We're putting it on your, it's on Pam Bondi's desk.
[00:50:55]  They have it.
[00:50:56]  No, and then and then people are saying, Viva, you're ignoring all the good stuff.
[00:50:59]  Tulsi Gabbard, they just seize some voting machines.
[00:51:02]  Like, do you remember what you said when Tulsi came out with that report, that referral that they gave to the DOJ?
[00:51:08]  It's there, nothing.
[00:51:09]  And then we're told, oh, there's nothing because it was a distraction with the Epstein files that the staff was overwhelmed.
[00:51:14]  You got Tina Peters.
[00:51:16]  When was the last time the administration mentioned her name?
[00:51:18]  Harmeet Dylan.
[00:51:20]  You know, Dexter Taylor still rots in a state jail.
[00:51:24]  Tina Peters.
[00:51:26]  And you got, we talked about it yesterday, but what they're going after might not be what most people think is the most important civil rights issues in America these days.
[00:51:35]  Harvard not doing enough to protect its students.
[00:51:38]  I mean, it's a problem.
[00:51:40]  Not the biggest problem, I don't think.
[00:51:42]  But no, it's very discouraging.
[00:51:45]  I mean, I don't know that there's time to even turn it around now because it seems the sentiment has shifted from, who was it?
[00:51:52]  Was it Mike Johnson or Marco Rubio who said we're going to win the midterms?
[00:51:56]  I think it was Mike Johnson.
[00:51:57]  We've gone from now them saying we're going to win the midterms to, oh, the party in power always loses and that's its defeat.
[00:52:03]  It's in its over.
[00:52:03]  And then they're going to blame you and me, Luke.
[00:52:07]  Not anything that they may have done or not done as per election promises.
[00:52:12]  Yeah, it's never take personal responsibility.
[00:52:15]  It's always obfuscate personal responsibility.
[00:52:19]  And I'm kind of left with the question, where do we go from here?
[00:52:23]  Right.
[00:52:23]  Because clearly a lot of this is just making people allergic to the political system.
[00:52:30]  I know a lot of people that I'm talking to that just don't want to vote ever.
[00:52:33]  They don't want to support anyone ever.
[00:52:36]  And like, how do we kind of rectify?
[00:52:39]  How do we kind of move forward from all of this is a question that I'm kind of battling with the last few kind of weeks and months personally myself, because, you know, they make a compelling argument, right?

=== False Flags and Maximized Gains (09:51) ===

[00:52:51]  This is what you call being disillusioned into apathy.
[00:52:55]  And I've always said, like, you know, the opposite of love isn't hate.
[00:52:58]  It's indifference.
[00:52:58]  And this is what you get.
[00:53:00]  You disillusion people into indifference.
[00:53:02]  And maybe it's a good thing.
[00:53:03]  Focus local.
[00:53:04]  Go to your, you know, stay local, make community in the environment you can control and quit obsessing over the environment that you obviously cannot control.
[00:53:13]  But Luke, let me get to some questions before we, there's some good ones here.
[00:53:17]  Although premium Biltong, do you get Bill Tong?
[00:53:20]  You do get Bill Tong.
[00:53:21]  I do get Bill Tong.
[00:53:22]  King of Biltong's awesome.
[00:53:24]  Anton's incredible.
[00:53:25]  And I definitely appreciate being able to work with Anton.
[00:53:28]  He's awesome.
[00:53:28]  He's a good person.
[00:53:29]  He's awesome.
[00:53:29]  It's amazing.
[00:53:30]  He's got an awesome story.

[00:53:47]  Forced name change says it wouldn't be the first time Britain paid for protests in 1921.
[00:53:51]  Britain and the U.S. paid for protests in 1953.
[00:53:54]  Whether or not the war in Iran is a mistake, I think pulling out now early is an even bigger one.
[00:53:57]  Trump needs to see this through.
[00:53:59]  See what, I mean, not to not to jump on your forced name change.
[00:54:02]  What is the it?
[00:54:03]  See it through to what?
[00:54:05]  To occupy Iran?
[00:54:07]  I mean, to what?
[00:54:08]  Let me get to the last one.
[00:54:09]  America was on.
[00:54:10]  Can we just figure out what's the mission?
[00:54:12]  Like, what are we going to do here?
[00:54:13]  Like, what's the objective?
[00:54:14]  He needs to see it through.
[00:54:15]  To what?
[00:54:16]  What is the objective goal?
[00:54:18]  I thought it was to set them back with the nuclear capabilities.
[00:54:22]  Now, what is it?
[00:54:24]  To control the straits of Hormuz?
[00:54:26]  America was on that road anyways.
[00:54:28]  Like, the only reason she deviated was because of Trump and he's all out of terms.
[00:54:32]  Not sure what that one means.
[00:54:33]  But, and let me go over here in our Viva bar.

[00:54:45]  Your payas are particularly beautiful.
[00:54:46]  Look at those curls.
[00:54:47]  I converted.
[00:54:49]  You know, so I've heard, you know, as far as the debate, I don't believe that circumcision is genital mutilation, but I do know people who have been circumcised as adults, and they testify all pretty much unanimously to the absolute painfulness of the procedure as a fully developed adult.
[00:55:07]  Here's another one.
[00:55:10]  You got another one here.
[00:55:11]  You put on a little weight.
[00:55:12]  Roostang says, In Afghanistan, the Taliban and other tribes were struggling to fight the Russians who had been using attack helicopters effectively against them.
[00:55:19]  That changed quickly after the CIA allegedly gave the Taliban 600 Stinger RPGs, rocket pod grenades, rocket okay, launchers, which also gave, which we also gave to Osama bin Laden.
[00:55:28]  We all know how that turned out.
[00:55:30]  See Biden leaving billions in weapons in Afghanistan.
[00:55:33]  And Finboy Slick says, Rumble ate my previous rant.
[00:55:35]  So I just want to tell Luke that I miss his show and making silly pictures of Clintina.
[00:55:41]  Oh, Clintina.
[00:55:42]  Clint.
[00:55:43]  Yeah, Clintina was great.
[00:55:45]  No, it's interesting.
[00:55:48]  I just think seeing the name that I'm not beyond name call.
[00:55:53]  I call people names too, but I still like to think even when I call someone retarded, I do substantiate the accusation of retardation.
[00:56:00]  It's not just like grifter, like the grifter.
[00:56:03]  The people who call you grifters are the same ones who seem to be infatuated with their own numbers.
[00:56:08]  It's the wildest projection on earth.
[00:56:10]  And like, never, I've never checked analytics on X.
[00:56:14]  I checked my analytics.
[00:56:15]  I've never checked analytics on Rumble either.
[00:56:17]  I just, you know, go basically big broad brushstrokes.
[00:56:19]  Yeah, same.
[00:56:20]  But never, never done the idea of doing anything for changing your opinion to what?
[00:56:27]  Either be on the side of the team, you know, the team that's in power for numbers.
[00:56:31]  First of all, you could tell by the opposite is also potentially true of what Candace is doing.
[00:56:37]  But the idea of attenuating your voice to get clicks is more a confession than a bona fide accusation.
[00:56:46]  But so goes the proverb: confession through projection.
[00:56:50]  Luke, what was the other thing?
[00:56:51]  So we haven't really talked about the Epstein files, and now they're sort of definitely sidelined.
[00:56:57]  What do you see happening with this conflict in Iran?
[00:56:59]  Do you get the impression Trump is definitively looking for an exit ramp without throwing Israel to the wolves?
[00:57:07]  But also potentially it might come to that point.
[00:57:09]  Where he says, you want to continue doing it, do it, Godspeed.
[00:57:12]  You'll be Ukraine fighting Russia and don't look to us for any moral support.
[00:57:16]  How do you see this ending and in what timeframe?
[00:57:19]  That's a very good question.
[00:57:21]  There's a lot of different projections we could make.
[00:57:23]  There's a good one and a bad one.
[00:57:25]  Best one is we cut our losses, get out, negotiate a deal.
[00:57:30]  That's the best outcome, which, if there's enough public pressure, could happen.
[00:57:36]  Worst outcome: this latest kind of mixed messaging this morning is a way just to postpone the troops that are coming in there, boots on the ground, either through the south.
[00:57:48]  I think that would be the smartest route.
[00:57:51]  If there are going to be boots on the ground, there's like neutral people there that are not going to attack them in the south of Iran.
[00:57:59]  There's an ethnic tribe there that predominantly holds that region.
[00:58:03]  Worst case scenario, we try to take some of the islands and it's just going to be a bloodbath, especially with the terrain there.
[00:58:09]  And I think, worst case scenario, conflict till September.
[00:58:12]  That's the worst case scenario that a lot of analysts and military strategists are looking at.
[00:58:20]  And then what?
[00:58:21]  And then back out in September.
[00:58:23]  First of all, change your frame of mind, Luke.
[00:58:25]  I would say not cut your losses.
[00:58:27]  Maximize your gains and get out.
[00:58:29]  So let's spin things here.
[00:58:32]  Maximize your gains.
[00:58:33]  Get it?
[00:58:34]  You've done it.
[00:58:34]  You set them back 20 years.
[00:58:36]  Let another regime come into power.
[00:58:37]  Maybe they're going to be more rational knowing that we did that last year.
[00:58:40]  We did that last year.
[00:58:41]  No, they didn't kill quite as many regime leaders, but maybe they'll get ones in who will say, Yeah, we've seen what you did to the last regime, so we'll play ball.
[00:58:49]  Or we saw what you did to the last regime.
[00:58:52]  Hey, Kim Jong-un, can you spare us some nuclear missiles?
[00:58:55]  They're hardened, radicalized Chiis that we murdered their children in that school.
[00:59:00]  Most of the people in that school were part of the military.
[00:59:05]  That is why I actually did get the impression that a lot of the Iranians in exile didn't mind one way or the other if it was in fact an American tomahawk or whatever bomb, if it was an American missile that struck that school, that they were in their minds, these were the children of their oppressors and they won't shed a tear for them, even if it was the Americans who were responsible for it.
[00:59:24]  Yeah, that's the kind of craziness of this.
[00:59:27]  So, again, I think Trump hasn't officially even decided himself, right?
[00:59:31]  So, it's hard to definitively understand, especially when there's so much duplicitous messaging.
[00:59:36]  Best case scenario: we uh, whatever you said, our winnings, collect our maximize your gains, and we've done it.
[00:59:44]  I don't know if there's any gains here, but but yeah, yeah, do that, do that, great job, mission accomplished, get out.
[00:59:50]  No way, tell him whatever you got to tell him, whatever he needs to hear, tell him whatever he needs to hear, get out.
[00:59:55]  Best case scenario, worst case scenario, uh, up until September, boots on the ground.
[00:59:59]  There's even a small chance of like major escalations with nukes.
[01:00:03]  I don't think it will, but like, who the hell knows with how crazy and insane the situation is.
[01:00:07]  That's the worst case scenario.
[01:00:09]  Um, well, but look, Luke, I mean, Lindsey Graham noted: look, we took Iwo Jima, so let's go take uh what's the island it has a K in it, Khartoum, not Khartoum, uh, what's the island called that they're trying to take?
[01:00:22]  Uh, hold on, Iran, it was it was a it was a lobby in Call of Duty, too.
[01:00:27]  Uh, what's hold on, what the heck is the island called Kark Kharkov?
[01:00:32]  Karg Island, K-H-A-R-G.
[01:00:35]  No, we took Iwo Jima.
[01:00:38]  Let's let's let's bring 25,000.
[01:00:40]  Uh, yeah, 26,000 American troops suffered and lost their lives here taking Iwo Jima.
[01:00:47]  It's um, it drives me nuts because like I know I don't make the gay jokes with Lindsey Graham.
[01:00:52]  I don't care if he's gay or not.
[01:00:53]  Not having children and not understanding what is involved in the sacrifice of sending other people, other people's children, uh, in harm's way.
[01:01:02]  I, you know, it's the same thing you get a lot of why doesn't he go over there?
[01:01:06]  Send him over there.
[01:01:07]  I'm too old.
[01:01:08]  I would do it if I could, but I don't have any kids to do it with.
[01:01:10]  And even if I did, I'd send them to you know university in Europe so they don't have to serve.
[01:01:14]  Like, what's his face?
[01:01:15]  Scott Bessett.
[01:01:17]  You saw that clip when Scott Besant got pulled aside during his interview with Sky News and came back.
[01:01:22]  And he looked terrified.
[01:01:24]  He definitely looked, he definitely looked different than when he went in.
[01:01:28]  Here you go, Luke.
[01:01:29]  Now we're there.
[01:01:30]  That's a better one.
[01:01:30]  That's a more accurate one.
[01:01:32]  I have been doing boxing.
[01:01:33]  I've been boxing a lot recently.
[01:01:35]  Well, if it makes you feel any better, the shape of your nipples has to be based on my body because that's actually no, that has much more hair than I've got.
[01:01:42]  To make up for the last one, says Finboy Slick.
[01:01:44]  I'm a lady.
[01:01:45]  Thank you, Finboy.
[01:01:46]  Finboy does amazing graphics.
[01:01:47]  I love Finboy.
[01:01:48]  I still do YouTube content, Finboy.
[01:01:50]  So feel free to.
[01:01:51]  I don't know if you get a meme there, but I'll save these.
[01:01:54]  Appreciate your meme.
[01:01:55]  Here, R.B. Hamp says, as an OG 9-11 truther like myself, does Luke expect more false flags like the London ambulance burning to try and draw us further into the conflict?
[01:02:04]  Kibono.
[01:02:06]  That's a very good question.
[01:02:08]  I think it's hard to really speculate on a lot of this stuff, right?
[01:02:12]  Because it is just theorizing and speculating.
[01:02:14]  Well, also, you can false flags, you can also never prove, and they can always be, even if it's a legitimate attack, you could say it's a false flag in terms of a let it happen on purpose.
[01:02:22]  The term itself is sort of yeah, I think the only reason why they don't rely on them is because people would call it out.
[01:02:28]  Even if it wasn't a false flag, people would automatically believe it's a false flag now, right?
[01:02:32]  So even if something does majorly happen, I think the consensus has changed so much that the vast majority of the people will be like, it's a false flag automatically.
[01:02:41]  Even if it is or isn't.

=== Redacted Tweets and Steve Baker (10:12) ===

[01:02:42]  So I think that has been kind of taken out the calculations.
[01:02:46]  And those kind of bigger brazen moves aren't even tried because they would kind of fall because of the kind of consensus and realization of just how often a lot of these false flags are.
[01:02:55]  And that's what's kind of weird about this whole war.
[01:02:57]  There was no false flag.
[01:02:58]  There was no like major Pearl Harbor-like event.
[01:03:01]  It was just like, yeah, whatever, we're doing it.
[01:03:03]  And it's like, you're not even trying to sell it.
[01:03:05]  And it's like, okay.
[01:03:08]  No, it's weird.
[01:03:09]  No, it was, it was sort of.
[01:03:11]  It was like the Iraq were like, just trust the intelligence.
[01:03:14]  And now everyone's like, well, Iraq was different because it was Bush as president.
[01:03:18]  And, you know, that one was different because it was a different president.
[01:03:21]  As if there's not saboteurs in the intelligence agencies that would love to see Trump do something that would compromise his ability to do what he said he would do.
[01:03:32]  I mean, it's yeah, it's not like the intel agencies have been spying on him, leaking on him, screwing him over, lying to him about troop numbers.
[01:03:40]  It's not like there's a whole CIA intel agency orchestrated censorship campaign that destroyed his life right after he lost the alleged election to Joba.
[01:03:52]  It's not like that happened.
[01:03:53]  Why give him carte blanche?
[01:03:54]  Why give him everything that they want?
[01:03:55]  I just don't get it, man.
[01:03:57]  It's not like he's made bad appointments and it's not like he's made mistakes that required calling out.
[01:04:03]  And it's just, it is the, I get the impression at some point also, it's the, is it the sunk cost or it's the gambler's loss fallacy?
[01:04:11]  Like we've already lost this much.
[01:04:12]  The same thing that happened during COVID.
[01:04:14]  We've already given up so much.
[01:04:15]  So, you know, what's a little more?
[01:04:17]  What's a little more?
[01:04:18]  We'll let him, we'll, we'll, we'll abandon a little bit more of what we initially believed wanted in the hopes that we'll get it all back afterwards.
[01:04:26]  But it's like, yeah, Trump is not infallible.
[01:04:30]  And it's one of, you know, the things that people criticized of the first administration was bad picks that got him into trouble.
[01:04:36]  The idea that he would not be susceptible of making similar mistakes is idiotic.
[01:04:40]  And the idea that everybody who's left in these deep state administrations, which have faced no reckoning under his bad pick in Pam Bondi, you're on, you know, hopium is.
[01:04:51]  He had John Bolton in there.
[01:04:53]  I was like, what are you doing picking John Bolton?
[01:04:55]  And everyone was like, shut up, Luke.
[01:04:57]  Trust the plan.
[01:04:58]  And then Trump was like, yeah, I should have never picked Bolton.
[01:05:00]  He destroyed the Korean peace.
[01:05:02]  I'm like, what did you think?
[01:05:04]  And then hindsight, all of our direct criticisms, Operation Warp Speed and all the other things that happened under Trump's first term, he kind of came out and admitted, yeah, maybe I, you know, too far.
[01:05:16]  He hasn't gotten there yet with Operation Warp Speed, and it drives me crazy.
[01:05:19]  Like, does everybody not appreciate if your rationale is to defer to the man as if he can do no wrong, you've got to, you've got to be good with Operation Warp Speed, good with the Jab, good with immunizing glyphosate manufacturers.
[01:05:31]  You've got to be good with a bunch of things that are 180 opposite what the coalition wanted and what at least I thought, you know, we were getting.
[01:05:40]  And you got to bring him back on track.
[01:05:42]  What I think it's a wild thing.
[01:05:44]  You get sucked into that silo where all you do, on the one hand, he's got an information silo and he's got a gatekeeper and her name is Susie Wiles.
[01:05:52]  He's in a geographic silo where to some extent, the Rhinos want the same thing as the Neo.
[01:05:57]  Well, I say neocons, as the, as the Dems.
[01:06:00]  And you're in this silo where you get the crazy idea that it's a politically popular thing to say no, no transgender surgery without parental consent.
[01:06:10]  And then you get the people saying, oh, no, he was joking when he truthed that, or it was a staffer that truthed it.
[01:06:15]  But he's on camera saying it because in that environment, that's the caveat that people think makes it politically palatable.
[01:06:22]  So it's like people need not to be surrounded by yes men and to have honest men and women who are going to tell them when they think he's on the wrong track.
[01:06:31]  Exactly.
[01:06:32]  And it's all these yes men that are leading him to all these traps that he's screwing himself over, screwing this country over.
[01:06:39]  And it's like the people who are speaking out, they're finally catching onto the con and it's like, you're the problem.
[01:06:44]  Well, no, actually, we're trying to prevent this con.
[01:06:46]  We're trying to prevent this problem from getting crazier than it actually is here.
[01:06:50]  How much longer do you want to?
[01:06:52]  No, you can go.
[01:06:53]  I'm going to cover some stories.
[01:06:54]  You need to take off.
[01:06:56]  I didn't even tell you how long.
[01:06:57]  Go.
[01:06:58]  Get out of here.
[01:06:59]  I'm going to cover some other stuff, which, you know, it'll be just as well if, here, let me just get the chats before you go and see if there's anything else for you.
[01:07:05]  If it were up to me, public trials and executions of the Iranian regime and then get the F out and let Iran fix itself.
[01:07:09]  I don't know how you get in there for such intimate correction.
[01:07:12]  Oh, that was from Force Name Change.
[01:07:13]  Fuck it button or FK it button.
[01:07:15]  I think aside, shills, everyone wishes our internal issues were actually fixed.
[01:07:19]  Isn't hammering the fixing needed here more beneficial than what could or could not come from bombing terrorists?
[01:07:25]  Forced name change.
[01:07:25]  I will caveat that by saying that we jumped in way too early.
[01:07:28]  We should have grown an organized resistance, much like America had during the Revolution.
[01:07:31]  It's not too late for that.
[01:07:32]  Forced name change says, tell the whole story about that school, Luke.
[01:07:35]  It was deliberately placed 74 meters.
[01:07:37]  It wasn't, it changed.
[01:07:39]  There's this.
[01:07:40]  How dare you place that school there?
[01:07:43]  But apparently they were relying.
[01:07:44]  Apparently, if it was America that struck it, it was based on allegedly intelligence that it was still a facility and not converted into a school.
[01:07:55]  But they always have schools on bases anyhow.
[01:07:57]  But there is.
[01:07:58]  This is a school on Google Maps.
[01:08:01]  There is still a, I mean, I say a debate.
[01:08:03]  It's still disputed as who's responsible.
[01:08:05]  We'll wait for the final report if that tells us anything.
[01:08:08]  And Ginger Ninja says, wow, that people have to talk about stroking Trump's eagle.
[01:08:11]  Eagle, eagle, ego, solidify your gains like a two-year-old, even though we've only lost money, killed many innocents, killed servicemen, and committed war crimes.
[01:08:19]  Ginger, you need to sell it for people to buy it.
[01:08:22]  Luke, where can people find you?
[01:08:25]  YouTube.com forward slash we are change.
[01:08:27]  I mean, that's pretty much where I've been.
[01:08:29]  We are change spelt out W-E-A-R-E-C-H-A-N-G-E.
[01:08:35]  Yep.
[01:08:35]  Yep.
[01:08:35]  YouTube.com forward slash We AreChange.
[01:08:37]  I always appreciate your takes.
[01:08:38]  I'm always looking on Twitter.
[01:08:40]  I'm like, yeah, this guy gets it.
[01:08:41]  One of the few people that actually gets it.
[01:08:43]  So I appreciate your voice.
[01:08:45]  It's good to have you in the space.
[01:08:46]  I think we need more people to speak out and not be afraid.
[01:08:49]  I think they're trying to doom pill and make people afraid to.
[01:08:52]  Yeah, make people afraid of sharing their sincerely held beliefs.
[01:08:56]  And I felt the urge to just, you know, fuck it.
[01:09:00]  I don't need Twitter.
[01:09:01]  And we have a good locals community, but I will not let them win.
[01:09:04]  So big mouth Viva is going to keep flapping his gums in a respectful manner.
[01:09:08]  Ashton Forbes is a little bastard.
[01:09:11]  Did you see that?
[01:09:13]  I'm going to bring up the tweets.
[01:09:15]  I'll let your dwindling engagement reveal the goodness of your ideas.
[01:09:19]  Oh, I'm sorry.
[01:09:19]  I didn't realize it was a popularity contest for the cool kids, but now I understand what he might have been doing with his whole MH370 shtick is doing it for clicks because I don't give a sweet bugger all about engagements.
[01:09:31]  Yeah.
[01:09:32]  No, absolutely.
[01:09:33]  Don't let them win.
[01:09:34]  Keep speaking.
[01:09:34]  I always appreciate your tweets.
[01:09:36]  I always appreciate your messaging.
[01:09:37]  It's always on point and it's always very irrational.
[01:09:40]  You have a lot more patience than I do.
[01:09:41]  I just move on.
[01:09:42]  And I'm like, okay, what else is going on here?
[01:09:44]  Asians are obsession.
[01:09:46]  I always retweet you and I'm like, okay, Viva's handling it.
[01:09:50]  I don't need to go into it.
[01:09:52]  So I appreciate you in the space and I think we need more people like you.
[01:09:55]  And I appreciate you.
[01:09:56]  Thank you so much for having me on.
[01:09:58]  And yeah, man, let's do this again.
[01:10:00]  Thousand percent.
[01:10:00]  Luke, I'll put up all your comments when I put up your links in the pinned comment when this thing finishes processing.
[01:10:05]  I appreciate it very much, man.
[01:10:07]  You have a great stream.
[01:10:08]  Outspeed.
[01:10:08]  Bye.
[01:10:10]  By the way, tomorrow, I got Steve Baker coming on to talk about his explosive expose.
[01:10:19]  And it's going to be amazing.
[01:10:20]  So I want to, I want to cover it.
[01:10:22]  Let me just see if who's live right now?
[01:10:25]  Ah, yes.

[01:11:13]  If you want to do it with XAUT, which is gold-backed crypto through Tether, with its partnership with Rumble, scan that QR code.
[01:11:22]  You can get crappy merch at vivafry.com.
[01:11:25]  And redacted equals black bill.
[01:11:30]  Look, you got to listen to, get everyone's opinion.
[01:11:33]  Come over to Viva BarnesLaw.locals.com, excuse me.
[01:11:37]  And we're going to have the after show there.
[01:11:39]  It's also going to be available for Rumble Premium.
[01:11:41]  We're going to cover the bombshell in anticipation of Steve Baker coming on tomorrow, where we're going to dive into the bombshell.
[01:11:49]  Here's the spoiler.
[01:11:51]  You know how I know Brian Cole is not the January 6th pipe bomber?
[01:11:54]  You know what his alibi is?
[01:11:56]  His body, his physiology, his ergonometry, whatever the hell his shoes are his alibi.
[01:12:02]  The dude's got a size 12 foot.
[01:12:04]  And we all suspected, you know, the pipe bomber might have anywhere between a size 9 and a 12 because that's what the FBI said in a footnote of one of their reports.
[01:12:12]  That's a pretty big ass caveat.
[01:12:15]  But Brian Cole, I didn't say it and I don't remember who did say it.
[01:12:19]  Brian Cole's alibi is his body.
[01:12:22]  He's got a size 12 foot.
[01:12:23]  And Steve Baker, through actual on-the-ground pun-intended journalism, has discovered that the shoe size of the January 6th pipe bomber is between nine and nine and a half.
[01:12:33]  We're going to talk about it.
[01:12:35]  What the hell else was I about to do?
[01:12:36]  Oh, yeah, that's right.
[01:12:37]  We've got to go raid redacted.
[01:12:38]  So go raid redacted.
[01:12:39]  There's other people if you don't want to go raid redacted, but go raid them.
[01:12:41]  Let them know from whence you came.
[01:12:43]  And then you can see all the comments in their comment section calling me all sorts of names.
[01:12:48]  Confirm raid.
[01:12:50]  Come on over to viva barneslaw.locals.com.
[01:12:53]  Or if you're Rumble Premium, you can enjoy.
