Speaker 1: 0:00

Hello, my friends. And welcome back to yet. Another episode of watching the Watchers live. My name is Robert Mueller. I am a criminal defense attorney here at the RNR law group in the always beautiful and sunny Scottsdale Arizona, where my team and I over the course of many years have represented thousands of good people facing criminal charges. And throughout our time in practice, we have seen a lot of problems with our justice system. I'm talking about misconduct involving the police. We have prosecutors behaving poorly. We have judges not particularly interested in a little thing called justice, and it all starts with the politicians, the people at the top, the ones who write the rules and pass the laws that they expect you and me to follow, but sometimes have a little bit of difficulty doing so themselves. That's why we started this show called watching the Watchers so that together with your help, we can shine that big, beautiful spotlight of accountability and transparency down upon our system with the hope of finding justice. And we're grateful that you are here in with us today because we've got a lot to get into hope. Everybody had a lovely weekend. We're going to get started. Actually, most of the show today, it's going to be about COVID. Can you believe this? Somebody sent a memo out. I think to every single Democrat in the country, that today is going to be COVID vaccine mandate day. So we're going to go around the country and see what is happening with these vaccine mandates. We're going to check in with New York city mayor DeBlasio, who says that all government workers got to get one same with California, same with the VA on a federal level. And we're going to check in with some other parts of the country as well to see what's happening. We've been talking about these things rolling out. We were looking back at France and parts of Europe and here they are. So they're on our doorstep. We're going to talk about it. Then we're going to transition a little bit in the next segment. We're going to talk about Amy Klobuchar, who is now introducing a new bill called the health misinformation act, which seeks to kind of go in there and tweak section two 30. Of course, we know that applies to the social media companies. And so she's out there wanting to combat all of this dangerous misinformation, heard a lot about this for about the last two years now, talking about everything that, uh, basically the, the establishment disagrees with is somehow harmful and dangerous. And so she's got this new bill that she wants to unveil to kind of nudge Facebook and some of the big tech platforms back into compliance. So we'll see what's going on there. Facebook and the other big tech platforms are forming this global internet forum to counter terrorism. They have this massive database with all these different tech companies, all sharing all of the different stuff together. So all of your conversations of course are going to be monitored by them. You're welcome. Then in our final segment for the show today, we're going to talk about what's happening with Andrew Cuomo because we're kind of coming full circle on this. Remember during, uh, COVID last, uh, in 2020, there were a lot of allegations that Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York was kind of covering up some negligence or some gross negligence by sending infected COVID patients back into nursing homes, sort of in the height of the pandemic. Many people are speculating that this may have resulted in thousands of dead people, dead senior citizens in particular. And so we're going to take a look at that story because it's now coming to a close, the department of justice sent a letter to Congressman Lee. Zeldin saying that no, we're not, uh, we're we're, we're not investigating the case anymore. So it's been closed. We're going to take a look at that letter. We're going to take a look at a lot of the primary documents as we ordinarily do here. If you want to be a part of the show, the place to do that is over@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com or there's a live chat going on right now. Couple of people are on over there, chatting away. We've got Joe snows here we have. Let's see who else. Todd trouts in the house want to know Ryan is there along with, uh, uh, who's who else was there? So Viking is also in the house over on YouTube. We also are now taking super chats. If you want to operate that way as well. We've got, uh, let's see, Zachary Rodriguez, Sarah Brown's in the house. Erwin have Narok. We have Johnny pocalypse is here along with Marsia Jones. And over in YouTube, they were speculating about my dating life St. Maybe implying that maybe, uh, me and Nancy Pelosi have a thing going on there. So, um, we don't fortunately for me and, uh, my life, I don't have anything going on with Nancy Pelosi, but it is a fun thought experiment. Thank you for that YouTube. So, all right, we've got a form that we're going to use. If you've got questions over from locals, it looks like this, the link is down in the description below. I'm sorry. The link to watching the watchers.locals.com is down in the description. And you can ask questions using that forum if you want to chime in with a longer comment. All right. So let's get into the news of the date vaccine mandates. We've been talking about them for a long time saying that France and other countries in different parts of the world, where the canaries in the coal mine, they started to roll out their vaccine mandates. We saw president McCrone over there in France. Say basically, if you want to go to a bar, a nightclub or anywhere you're getting vaccinated. And they wanted to hit targets of like 98 to a hundred percent of their population vaccinated. So we were speculating on the show, oh, well, that's the first to go. The Domino's are now going to be in full swing and full effect. Lo and behold, we wake up in the United States of America. Somebody sent a memorandum out to every single Democrat governor, apparently across the country because they all came out with the same thing today. They all came out with vaccine mandates. We have mayor DeBlasio. We're going to start off with in New York. We're going to take a look at what Gavin Newsome is doing over in California in LA. They've got mass mandates. The mayor of Savannah is now having mass mandates, but that's not just the mass mandates. It's also vaccine mandates in California, in New York for all government employees and on a federal level, we're now going to be looking at the VA veterans affairs because they're also mandating vaccines. So we're seeing the rollout it's coming out in full swing. We've got to take a look at what is happening and how it is unfolding in front of our very eyes. We're going to jump off from Fox news. We've got a headline here that says DeBlasio is going to require city employees to get vaccinated. Or if you don't want to do that, you gotta be tested weekly, weekly, right? And we've seen a lot of these sorts of requirements be thrown out or be overruled or sort of publicly unacceptable because it was overly burdensome, right? Being tested every single week is very burdensome. And so now we're just sort of seeing that this is now just accepted. The New York city mayor is also threatening quote, very tough consequences for the unvaccinated workers who don't wear a mask. He said on Monday requiring all employees to be vaccinated or tested once per week, deadline, September 13th said the city is going to step up its enforcement of its mass mandate for un-vaccinated workers, threatening quote, very tough consequences. So that is in the United States. We have DeBlasio also announced that New York city is pushing Facebook, Twitter, Instagram to deep platform, 12 individuals who one study alleged are the most, most prolific spreaders of vaccine disinformation. He sent a letter over to mark Zuckerberg saying that if you don't stop the lies, you are complicit in the spread of COVID-19. So basically telling mark Zuckerberg, if you don't get rid of these people, we're going to hold you accountable. You're just as bad as they are because your platform is allowing this misinformation to spread and percolate all across the world. Kind of like what Joe Biden said saying, Hey mark, and you companies, you're killing people, DeBlasio, not too clever on his own. It's sort of taking that line, which is not a really good line from Joe Biden. And using that as his own, the comments come as DeBlasio has avoided reinstating a universal mass mandate like LA, which has it now and Provincetown in Massachusetts, which have it now because of the Delta variant, the mayor instead pushed vaccination as the way to squash the pandemic. So let's take a listen into DeBlasio. One of the more obnoxious politicians that I think is currently in office, let's see. And listen, what

Speaker 2: 7:42

On September 13th, which is the first full day of school, every single city employee will be expected to be either vaccinated or be tested weekly. This means everybody. This means obviously everyone who works in our schools, our educators and staff's staff, it means the MYP D the FDN, Y it means all city agencies. It means people who work in offices and people work on the frontline. Everyone, because September is when the rubber hits the road. And this is when we have to make the difference. And so this mandate will be in place.

Speaker 1: 8:18

All right. So, uh, there, we've got it right. Pretty, pretty forceful. Everybody. If you're a government employee in the city of new Yorker in Newark, New York city, he's he says, but I think it's probably going to roll out to the rest of New York state. He's telling us you've got to hustle. You got to get employed, and I'm sorry, if you want to remain employed, you've got to get vaccinated. So we're breaking it out into a couple different dates, sort of the slow boil rollout. August 2nd, we have a clinical staff for two different companies. Then by August 16th, another 45,000 people, city, government employees in congregate, residential settings, and then full city workforce, every single person who works for the New York government vaccinated by September, we have Cuomo. As I mentioned, this thing is sort of, you know, uh, spreading around New York. He's talking about even more aggressively sort of dragging people out of their homes and shoving the needle in their arms. Regardless, here he is. And we have to get in those communities and we have to knock on those doors and we have to convince people and put them in a car and drive them and get that vaccine in their arms. That is the mission, knock on doors, and like literally drag people out of their house. You're coming with us. We're going to jab that needle in your arm. Why do they have to take them anywhere? Why doesn't Cuomo, just go and just start jabbing people. Uh, that's kind of where this is going. It sounds like, uh, we have some numbers about vaccination rates in New York city. So you can already see, these are what the current numbers look like. This is from Nicholas Dows that says, whoever you hear these numbers are a truly shocking. He says, so the department of education, 60% of them have been vaccinated, NYP D 43% under half FDN, Y 51% New York city health and hospitals, 60% department of corrections, 42% MTA 65. And city-wide about 58%. And so, you know, everybody's of course, you know, shocked, shocked that that people don't, uh, you know, have different opinions about this thing. And they're, they're going to do what they can to mandate it. It's no longer optional. If you want your job, go get the jab that's happening in New York. Now it's happening as well in California. This is coming over from Sacramento. We see here that California is also going to require state employees and all healthcare workers to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination or same thing get tested weekly. Right. And so, you know, does anybody think that this was an original idea by Cuomo or de Blasio in New York or Gavin Newsome in California? No. Right. This is all sort of the rollout. This is like a marketing plan. Hey, we're going to launch this plan and we're all going to go at the same time. I've seen some commentary out there like, oh, well, this is just the domino that, you know, the dams are breaking. The New York went first and then California and everybody is going to sort of fall in line. Well, I, you know, it's, it's pretty obvious get the vaccine or get tested weekly. And so there's sort of building this, this sort of network effect, right? If New York is going to do it in California is going to do it. And these other states can do it. There's this bandwagon effect. And the idea would be that everybody does it. And if, if everybody mandates it at the same time, then the people who don't want to get the vaccine, they kind of lose, lose their options. Right? If you work for the government of California, it's kind of hard to go work for a different government. There's only one government of California. And if the entire government of California is mandating this kind of hard to pick up and move somewhere else. And so if all the different states now mandate this, it makes it even harder because let's say, for example, if you want to say that a government employee is, uh, you know, in a free market, which is arguable, well, you could say, well, just quit your job. Leave California, come over to Arizona where we don't have that mandate and get a job over here. But it's not quite that, that simple isn't because the governments are not as fungible as other private sector jobs. So a lot of these government are just kind of stuck. They just gotta sit there and I guess, follow whatever the governments are telling them. They can't leave New York and come to California because California has got the same a policy here tested weekly, or take the vaccine tightening restrictions in an effort to slow. The Corona virus rise in the most populous state. New rural is going to take effect effect. Next month announced on Monday, at least 238,000 state employees, according to California's controller's office and 2 million healthcare workers in public and private sectors. So we're looking at about, about two and a quarter million, newly vaccinated, mandated, mandated to go get something injected into your body from governor Newsome, of course, is not a doctor, not a medical provider, sort of just a bureaucrat, a politician, a governor who is taking public policy down on individuals and not just, uh, you know, people who voluntarily want to go, uh, sort of ask them to do that. Just it's a mandate 238,000 plus another 2 million public and private sector. Healthcare workers go get it if you haven't done it. So, uh, here is Gavin Newsome now, uh, you know, rolling out his little plan 246,000

Speaker 3: 13:02

Californians are state employees 246,000 California should be vaccinated. And if they're not vaccinated and cannot verify that they've been vaccinated, uh, we are requiring, uh, that they get tested. California's committed to vaccination verification and or testing on a weekly basis.

Speaker 1: 13:26

All right. So basically the same exact thing that the Blasio said, right, we're committed to this New York, you know, September is the pedal to the metal. So the same thing, both very unoriginal politicians, they just sort of are doing whatever their handlers are telling them to do. And we're seeing this rollout in two of the most populous states on either side of the coast. And so you can sort of imagine that this will continue to spread around a different states are going to jump on the west coast. States will jump on the bandwagon of California. East coast states will jump on the bandwagon of New York and sort of use those states as covered to get in there and, uh, and do what they want to do so interesting that this is rolling out the way that it is Gavin Newsome now was also talking about the coming vaccinations and the refusal to get them in a very interesting context. Of course, you know, I'm a criminal defense lawyer. It did not take much stretching of the imagination to imagine that at some point we already exist in a country that has way highly criminalized society, right? Our laws are criminal everywhere. You look, everything you do could theoretically be criminal. There, all those quotes that say, you know, show me the man, I'll show you the crime because it's so easy to charge anybody with the crime. So it doesn't take much mental gymnastics to imagine a moment where we get to COVID crimes. We get to prosecutors, governors, politicians, people who were starting to equate nonconformity, not compliant with the government, not following these vaccine, not doing these things, whatever the scientific community tells us that they want us to do. If you don't comply with that, you're analogous to a criminal. You're somebody who's breaking the law. You're a reckless dangerous person. Who's disregarding the public health, safety and wellbeing of your fellow person out there in the world. And so we, we knew that this was coming to the criminalization of mental health decisions. And here it is. So the first one that I saw of course, was from Gavin Newsome. He was over on CNN and he starts talking about this in the context of DUIs. He says, listen, you know, DUI is, uh, you can't get in a car and just go drive around drunk. You're going to be a danger to other people. And if you get a, if you don't get the COVID vaccine, it's kind of like, you're just driving around drunk. And so it should be, you know, just as bad as a DUI, more or less here is what he says.

Speaker 3: 15:38

Look, we don't even have to have that debate. If we can just get everybody vaccinated, that's not vaccinated. That's refusing to get vaccinated. That's living a vaccine free and impacting the rest of us. It's like drunk drivers. You don't have the right to go out and drink and drive and put everybody else at risk, including your own life at risk. California is one of the highest vaccination rates in America, but yet we're still seeing an increase because so many people, 25% in California are refusing to get vaccinated. So we're really trying to focus on ending this pandemic once and for all those non-pharmaceutical interventions.

Speaker 1: 16:09

Yeah. So he, you know, he goes on, he'd go riffs off into something, whatever else the problem being is that he's essentially saying, if you don't, if you don't get vaccinated, it's kind of like, uh, you know, killing somebody, driving drunk a little bit of a problem with that analogy doesn't really work all that. Well. I mean, why is this limited to COVID? I think that if you, if you accept that premise, essentially anytime that you are sick with anything and you infect anybody, which is basically every time that somebody gets sick, they're infected from somebody, is that a criminal act, is that an analogous to a DUI? I mean, this could apply to colds. This could apply to, uh, you know, the flu, this could apply to strep throat, ear infections, anything else, and, you know, STDs even, right? All of these different things. If all of those are sort of analogous to a DUI, well, that's a pretty, pretty bold statement and it wouldn't surprise me at all that they may want to criminalize all of that anyways, because it's just one more lever of power that they would have also, you know, drinking and getting behind a car. That's kind of a voluntary thing. Uh, catching. COVID not so much one's recreational. One's not one is, there's a, there's a whole slew of constitutional problems with that. Talking about, uh, sort of public spaces and private medical decisions. And you could, you could have a lot of fun with that, but of course, Gavin Newsome didn't think much about any of that Diddy. Now it's not just happening in the states. We've got California, we've got New York. Now it's also bubbling up to the federal level. Or maybe this is something that's trickling down from the federal level. New York times is also reporting that the VA is now mandating vaccine mandates. Also the first for a federal agency, we see that this is from the department of veterans affairs. They're going to require 100 and thousand of its frontline workers to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. They've got two months to do it. It's the first federal agency to mandate it. And you know, this is, this is the VA. So it's really hard to sort of be critical of them, right? To say anything bad about the VA. So it's a good place to start because they're almost immune to criticism because everybody cares about our veterans. So let's see the move they say comes, as concern is growing that a substantial portion has not been vaccinated to protect against Delta while it was a sharp departure from the Biden administration's reluctance to embrace mandates. It's part of a broader shift in which New York, many hospitals, and some private employers are now saying, it's a requirement. Denis McDonough, the secretary from the VA said, I'm doing this because it's the best way to keep our veterans safe, full stop. Right? The department is one of the largest federal employers and the biggest integrated healthcare system in the country. So the biggest integrated healthcare system in the country also going vaccine mandate route. And so, you know, you're going to continue to see this percolate elsewhere throughout the country. It's not just the vaccine mandates. Many of the masking mandates are coming back as well. We're sort of working our way back. I told you, we're in season two of this thing. It's very, very repetitive. It's a lot more boring and a lot more irritating. We've already seen these players and they're all terrible actors. So we have to go through it again. And so now we're sort of at that, that arc that we remember last year, where we're back in the mask stuff, right? It was first, it was don't wear a mask. Now it's wear masks again, then double mass and Joe Biden's, you know, wrapping himself in bubble wrap just to make sure that he doesn't bump into anything. And so now St. Louis and LA and other places are making sure that we are all getting our masks mandates now, mass mandates as well. So we've got a resurgence coming around. We have mass mandates taking effect in St. Louis and LA on Monday. They're going to apply to everyone, even vaccinated people. Huh? Well, that's weird. I thought that the CDC said that you didn't have to do that. So in indoor public places on public transportation, the masks are coming back a little more than two months after the city lifted the rules they're coming back. Officials said it was designed to combat the spread of once again, the hyper transmissible Delta variant of the virus, which caused infections to spike around the country and different places that have lagged in, uh, in, um, vaccination rates are of course going to be hardest hit. Now, this is from the recount. We also see this sort of a smaller town mayor out of Savannah. He's also passing some of these new mandates. Let's see what he has to say. This is mayor van Johnson, Democrat over from Georgia. He also got the memo that it's time to ramp up. Some of the COVID precautions here

Speaker 4: 20:20

For that as mass mandate effective immediately. This requires everyone regardless of vaccination status to wear a mask in yours when you're with people who are not in your immediate household.

Speaker 1: 20:38

All right. So there it is mandates all around. The memo was spread out there loud and clear. All the Democrats woke up and they said, oh, I wonder what my talking points today. Here are my orders. Okay. They go, oh yeah. So we're doing the vaccine mandate thing. Um, you know, uh, uh, uh, Pamela, go get the, uh, go get my vaccine suit. So they're gonna put the suit on again and go do their thing. So, uh, that's great. Let's see what some of the chats have to say. I saw a supper, a couple super chats come in as well. And so we'll start over. Let's see, what's working up over on a locals and then we'll chat. We'll sort of bounce back and forth. Let's see our, uh, we had a couple in from last time. Here it is. Here's our first one from Todd trout says, so wait, so now we are mandating vaccines and everyone injected drug into them. What is next? Are we going to mandate that a woman of an at-risk child be forced to abort? Well, I mean, if all of your medical decisions are now going to be a dictated or mandated by the government, why not? Right. Why not? Uh, Sergeant Bob is here saw Sergeant Bob at our monthly meetup, which was on Saturday, had a ton of fun with him and miss lucky. We said, if I do, if I did not want the vaccine, I would say fine, test me weekly and on city time, which is a, which it was a, it's a step, right? It's, it's adhering to your principles, which you're capable of doing Sergeant Bob. And I have a lot of faith that you would adhere to that, but do what other people, I, I don't know. People are very, very pliable. And my question is, is the pressure is the weight of the government going to force them into doing something that they don't want to do, which is really my problem with the whole thing. I don't, I don't have any particular issues with the science of the vaccines, get it, or don't I get it. My, my issue with it is that, that it is being mandated by people who are not doctors. It's being mandated by bureaucrats. It's not sort of a, it's not even a medical decision. It's a political decision and they're mandating it. They're, they're mandating that you do something. And I don't like it when people do that. So, uh, good to see you, Sergeant Bob, thanks for chiming in, I appreciate you being here and part of this community. You're awesome. We have wants to know, says all Cuomo has to do is get people to vaccinate is to threaten, to put them in a nursing home AOC neighborhood liberals. Only 60% New York state hospital workers are on two thirds of vaccinations. Yeah. I mean, that might be a good incentive in New York. They're trying all these mandates, just say, we're going to mandate. You have to go visit a nursing home. Then maybe that will encourage people. I want to Cuomo's nursing homes in particular, maybe people would then want to get mandated. I get vaccinated. We have JP sent a super chat and let's pull this back up, says, California will allow you to hide your aids or HIV status from your partner, but COVID throw the book at them. Yeah. I remember reading that. Did we? I don't think we talked about that here on this channel, but I do. I do remember that, which is a, which is a crazy thing. All right. Let's see. We have another one coming from Alex. Uh, bogey was here, said I can understand a service member like me being forced to be vaccinated as I gave up some rights, but the VA service are civilians. They can't be forced. Yeah. Let me, let me fix this little box over here. Uh, let's see what this is. We have a thank you for that, Alex bogey. Yeah. And so the civilians, uh, you've done your service, right? You you've participated as part of the VA and now you are no longer in the VA. You are a civilian, but you now have to sort of, uh, comply, hang on a minute. So you're a veteran, right? So you're, you're always sort of a member of the military, right? As a veteran, I see what you're saying. You're talking about the people who are civilians, who are not former members of the military. I, I misread your statement. So you're saying that the people who are the healthcare providers and the workers, there are the ones that have to get vaccinated. And as a veteran, you had to go up and give up certain, uh, some of those rights and privileges in order to be a member of the military. So you've given up your, your, your ability to refuse the vaccine. But what you're saying is the medical providers certainly have not, which is a very good point. We have, uh,[inaudible] prime is in the house, also sent a super chat in. So we'll, we'll check this one out real quickly says, uh huh. Vaccines are supposed to somehow be effective. That mutates faster than any other virus. It's probably nothing, I guess, M R S a isn't real either. So it's a good, it's a good super chat. I really can't speak to that because of course I'm not a medical doctor. So I can't speculate on, you know, the mutation or anything like that, nor is that my intention here, right? This is not a science show or a vaccine show. I have no commentary on the science of the vaccines or any of that stuff. Other than to say that when the U S government is telling you, you have to do something that is when it becomes problematic. All right, we're going to go back over to the forum. Let's see if some other ones came in yet. We got some more, we got Paula, MK is here, says if I get fired for refusing the vaccine, can I get all that employment? Money might be a win win, right? The government sort of cut themselves in this catch 22 didn't they you're saying that you have to get vaccinated. Otherwise you are going to get fired. And if you get fired, you can go and collect unemployment. That was, uh, mostly sort of, uh, opening ended. We have thunder seven that says, Rob, I missed the zoom meet up because Trump was speaking at the same time. How about the, uh, about the mandated vaccines? They are desperate to get everyone jabbed won't work. Look at the freedom in weekend, over in Europe, over 2 million people protesting against draconian COVID rules. The governments have lost control of the people, and they are no longer obeying. I did see a lot of that. Uh, there's a, there's a couple of Twitter accounts that I follow that were posting videos from all over the world. People from all over the world. I think it was in France, in England, in Australia, in Iran, in various parts of the world. Uh, Cuba, I think they were marching to the white house this afternoon because people are sick of it. People do not want the government to continue to mandate and control every aspect of their lives. And so they're speaking up, which I think is appropriate at this moment. People were very compliant for a long time. The government said, Hey, we need your help. A lot of people said, all right, look, I don't like it, but we're going to help. And it has turned from 15 days to two months to now two years. So it's going on and on and on. And it's becoming tiresome. Paula MK says, if they are going to require a vaccine card, but they won't require an ID to vote. Maybe just slap a photo on the vaccine card. Apparently it can people over to get vaccinated. Can't make it somewhere to get an ID problem solved. Yeah. So there you go. Yeah. Cause, cause this, this is very key. This is a great point. This is a very curious point, Paula. You know, we heard from Joe Biden that, uh, that African-American, I didn't say this, that African-American people have a hard time getting on the internet, especially if you live in rural areas. We also heard from Kamala Harris, pretty racist that, uh, I think minority people in rural areas might have problems accessing a Kinko's or a copy machine. So, you know, they have a lot of difficulties according to these two brilliant light bulbs in the white house, getting certain documents in order so that they can go and vote. So now, if we have these vaccine mandates, well, how are they going to be able to get the, the, the, the documents in order, if they can't even get vaccines to vote? It's a good legitimate question. And I think it requires a logical response from them. We have miss lucky says, if I received a reaction from being forced to take this vaccine, can I Sue the government? Well, the short answer is no, you can't right. There are these vaccine funds that are being created. Uh, and I actually, you know, I actually, I haven't taken a deep dive into it, but my understanding is that you sort of, when you sign all those forms, you're sort of giving up some of those, uh, those civil claims that might result, not a lawyer. I haven't read those clothes. I'm a lawyer, but I'm not, I'm not a medical lawyer or anything like that. But my understanding is that no, not really. That that's part of the problem. We have angel 22 underscore 99 says, so tell me again, how they, aren't going to violate HIPAA rights of those, not vaccinated. The vaccine is not appropriate for some, so how are they going to do or make them weekly testing without unintentionally divulging? They won't in, can't get the jab. Does anyone have a fortitude to fight this? I think that people will. I think you're going to see a ton of lawsuits coming as a result of this thing. We'll see if they go anywhere. You know, I think that there, there is that, that sort of, that, that balancing act act that we do, we weigh multiple different factors in the law. And we say at some point, you know, the government because of the state of the emergency, they have the ability to overlay some of your civil rights. The courts have found that, you know, in multiple different contexts. And so the question is, are we still in that is the scale, still tip that way? Are the courts still gonna find that the governments can do whatever the hell they want anytime they want? And just tell you to do whatever anywhere or not. Is that going to get evened out here soon enough? I don't know. Uh, probably not. John Delara is here, says DeBlasio was encouraging people to protest and riot during the COVID pandemic. You think that maybe he was sending the message that the virus is not really that deadly, just a political weapon to her Trump. Why get vaccinated now? People aren't stupid. Yeah. I know. They think you are though. John Dillard. They, they, they do. That's why they are, uh, trying to control every single facet of your life. Isn't it? So Viking is here, says get vaccinated or get tested every week with a test that has proven to be highly unreliable over and over with plenty of false positives. I don't think it has anything to do with the test or the test results, right? We've heard from many different people that they want to make it hard to be unvaccinated. They want to make it. So you have to actually, you know, suffer a little bit if you refuse to comply with their requirements. And so that's what this is about. It's, it's about becoming a pain in your butt so that every time you go into the office, you've got to get tested and you get out it. Everybody gets to see that maybe you were not vaccinated and the list goes on and on and on. So good to see you. Soul biking, great point. We have a couple others. Kenny, one B is here says today, the opinion post reports that a cease and desist order was served to Los Alamos national laboratory. Those that are responsible for the cause of nuclear weapons over their COVID protocols, their vaccination pressure campaign has created a hostile work environment and unvaccinated and employees are being forcefully, separated and disparaged. Wow. Okay. So that's my next question. Right? What are the consequences of this going to be, if we know in New York city, about 50% or so are actually vaccinated and they were, they were going through the list of all the different government workers. Many of them were government employees. What happens if let's say, let's say 10% of the people just say, no, we're not going to do it. We'd rather just go find a different job in the private sector. What 10% do you know hard? It is to, to employ people. It's a difficult thing, especially at a government position, uh, where, where everything is sort of a slow motion and mostly broken and useless because they're very, very bad at running anything. So now they've got, let's say 10% of their workforce that leaves, and they've got to bring in a bunch of new people. Guess what nobody's working right now. Right? You can try to find people to work. Unemployment is through the roof. There's a lot of people who are just out of the labor force. It's going to be curious, how are the government's going to function? So that's actually not a bad thing, right? If they drive all their workers away, then the government naturally sort of has to shrink. So maybe, Hey, you know, this might actually end up working out in everybody's favor. I had a couple of super chats come in. Let's see what these look like. We've got a van TCS prime said, Superchat says, how many Vietnam protesters lined up for the jab? I don't know. It's a good question. It's a good question. Vietnam protestors. So I think I understand what you're saying and I don't, I don't really know how to answer that, but I understand what you're saying. Thank you for that venti. She has prime. We have Kimberly outlaw is in here with a, with a super chat. Let's see, uh, says HIPAA rights. If you don't get vacs, you can get COVID and pass it to others. If you do get vacs, you still get COVID and still pass it to others. The same as the flu jab. So what's the difference. She says unite against protests. Right? And so that's sort of the other problem with Gavin Newsome's analogy. He says, you know, that that sort of driving or not getting the vaccine is sort of like driving drunk and you go, okay, but you can get the vaccine and still be carrying COVID and still infect other people. So it's sort of like being a drunk driver who doesn't know that you're drunk, but it's still impaired and you didn't actually do anything wrong. So you're not actually like a drunk driver because you weren't actually voluntarily ingesting anything. You had no intention to hurt anybody. Okay. So the whole just breaks down. Doesn't it? So they're, they're, they're trying this. It's very, very fearful. It's very, it's very persuasive because it's sort of pitting you against the rest of society. You know, you're the odd person out, either get on board or you're not with us with us or against us. And you know, a lot of people are gonna be having very difficult conversations. There are a lot of people, there are 230, 8,000 people in California about probably a third of which are gone. Shoot, what am I supposed to do now, sweetie? What am I, what should I do? What are we gonna do for the kids? Because the government is mandating this thing. People are having hard conversations tonight as a result of our government, which is, uh, uh, pretty much useless. So. All right, great question. Let's see what else. We'll take a few more and then we'll hop into the next segment we've got next up. We have be brave, says interesting. How everyone announced on a Monday to lessen the protest. I'm guessing, I'm guessing that most quote anti-vaxxers have jobs for now. Yeah. And it was on a Monday and it was felt, it felt like it was completely cornered. Almost felt like collusion. Didn't it. We have Nati one. Boom says how well, the mandate in place in California that spreading a transmission, double disease intentionally like aids, HIV. How is that? Not a criminal act. They have already put laws into place that spreading a transmissible disease is acceptable and they are not required to notify sexual partners. Why should people in California have to provide their COVID vaccination status? Well, well, well it's because one of those, uh, is useful. Actually. Both of those are useful, politically different segments of the electorate have different reasons why they want these things in place. And you know, in my opinion, it's absolutely a serious contradiction that I don't ever expect to be rectified. Do you know? Of course not one is, uh, they're, they're both politically useful in their own reasons and we not, we don't have to get into that. We have wants to know, says could the immigrants that were released have spread COVID yeah. Some info saying that, uh, at least a third are refusing the vaccine government just started offering them recently. How can unvaccinated people be allowed into the country? I don't know. I don't know. It's a good question. There's a lot of good questions here today. I don't know the answer to them. I wish I did. Uh, or, or I think I do, but I don't necessarily know that are, that are or elected officials do. Right. I think the answer on the immigration thing would be to just not, not create policies that incentivize people to come across the border. And then when they get here hello to them in the back of vans and take them to St. Louis, right? That doesn't seem like a good policy, but what do I know? I'm not elected president or vice-president we have LT 13 says still not hearing about antibodies. I had COVID did not once have they asked for my positive antibody test? Yeah. Because they don't care about that. They don't care about whether you're going to get COVID or not. That's not part of the equation. This is not, it has nothing to do with that. This has to do with you compliant with getting the vaccine. And now they're all gonna use the killing grandma's story, uh, until the end of the world. And they're all gonna come out here and claim that that's why they, they want you to do this, but they don't. There are different ways to result in lower deaths, many different ways that we could have done all throughout this entire, last two years. But nobody wanted to talk about that. Everybody wanted compliance, just raw unbridled compliance. And they got it for most people in the country. And, uh, LT 13. Yeah. Antibodies, right? Rand, Paul's making this point. He's a medical doctor. He says that he thinks he's got natural immunity. Doesn't need the virus. It's ed is in the house, always get comments from it's. Ed says, Hey Rob, if the vaccine protects those who are vaccinated, then why do we need to force people to get vaccinated? Good question. Their ideology states that vaccines is needed to protect others. If you are vaccinated that I'm not a risk to you. If you are not vaccinated, then you are taking a risk of contracting the virus. That is your choice to take that risk so long as you don't expect others to pay for it. Considering there are variants, the vaccine not protecting you from how can the government justify this mandate. Maybe I could understand if the vaccine was a hundred percent effective and we could eradicate this, but it doesn't seem like that is the case. So what is the argument that justifies the mandate? Well, so when we get to this legally speaking, what we're going to see is the government justifying this on a strict scrutiny basis. So when we, when we have this conversation, right, we have to talk about the government needing to justify their rules and regulations, which is, which is, is very important. Courts have found that the government just can't come and just impose laws, Willy nilly, as long as they are impeding one of your constitutional rights in this case, the analysis would be, we have to identify what that right is. We have to say, okay, well, this is a medical decisions, right? This is a right to privacy. We talk about the constitution, having this penumbra of rights, sort of this umbrella of rights, uh, that are sort of rooted in privacy because we have due process and equal protection. And the justices have sort of pulled these things together from different parts of the constitution and just put them in this bucket and we call them privacy rights. Okay. So what is this impacting? Well, it's your medical decisions? It's your privacy rights is your personal autonomy. It's your free expression of yourself. It's your free association, right? All of these different constitutional rights are being implicated. And so when they start making these mandates, the law, the legal challenges are going to be on the basis that there's no necessity from the government under the strict scrutiny analysis. It means we're going to ask the courts to put the new mandates through a grinder, to make sure that they're absolutely necessary that the government has a compelling government interest. And the only way that they can achieve that interest is by these vaccines. And honestly, you know, based on what the courts have said, they may and be successful in those claims because the courts are bending over backwards or freaked out to death about COVID. So what that means is the government comes in and says, listen, we've got a compelling interest. We want to save lives. Right? Every single governor is going to come out and say that we want to save lives and we know how to do it. It's vaccinations. Okay. And so, you know, the other side can come out and say, well, what about all these studies? What about the fi you know, Pfizer reports and Israelis numbers are showing that there's, the efficacy is lower. And I just saw a headline on Drudge that the Chinese CNO vaccine is sort of evaporates in six months. You need more shots. And so there's a lot of scientific questions. I think about the long-term efficacy of these. And so the response to the government would say, no, you actually don't have a compelling interest, or you do have a compelling interest, but the method of achieving that compelling interest, the method that you want in order to save those lives that you care so much about is not, it's not narrowly tailored to that end goal. In other words, you're saying that vaccinations and lockdowns and mass mandates are necessary to save lives. If there's enough competing evidence to show the corollary of that, or to show that maybe a lot of this stuff is not as questionable, then you can overcome that burden. You can show that, Nope, there are other ways that we can deal with the vaccine. I'm sorry, with the Corona virus, without the vaccine mandates or without some of these other legal requirements. And it's going to be up to anybody who files a lawsuit to challenge those things, to overcome that sort of, uh, make those arguments. Now the courts, you know, in my opinion, have absolutely failed us at every single turn. I've seen it time. And again, courts just say, well, no, it's, I mean, we're in the middle of a crisis, it's a crisis. So do whatever you want, governor, do whatever you want. We saw this in the 2020 election, right? All of the rules got changed. All of them got changed, which of course didn't, you know, didn't change the outcome of the election, Joe, Biden's the president. So we have to be sure of that, that you know, that we acknowledge that, but also recognize that the courts, the, the, our legislatures judges across the board, everybody shifted everything to comply with the COVID rules, including judges. So if the government wants to come out and say, it's mandated, you know, we need this in order to save lives, probably the courts will just rubber stamp it and say, yep, you're right. You're absolutely right. We do. And a mandate, whatever you want. We've got some super chats that have come in. Let's take a quick look at some of these. We have Alex bogeys in the house as, uh, there is a 100 K insurance policy for the modern vaccine given to the military. If long-term side effects, I suppose this is separate from liability given to the military of long-term side effects, which look a hundred grand is, is not much right. That that will go away very quickly. Uh, thanks for sharing that, Alex bogey. I appreciate that. That thought. I didn't know that, you know, I'm not real sure. You know, I, I'm not real plugged into a lot of these military issues, but, but that is interesting. We got Beth Coddingtons in the house. Let's see. This one says, I wanted to say that I'm posting some stuff on my Facebook page. I tell people they will be blocked if they get too wild. So far, some good exchanges, definitely Trump derangement syndrome out there. Thank you for all that you do. So that's from Beth Cottington. Let's throw that one back up there again. It's a very nice Superchat. Thank you for that. Uh, Beth Cottington. So go check out Beth Cottington on Facebook. If you want to check that out, she's got, uh, a page over there. It sounds like she's posting some good stuff over there. And thank you for that. Uh, Beth, I really appreciate it. Love that support. Let's take a few more questions and then we'll move on into the next segment. We've got Larry 1 9, 4, 4 says vote. These tyrants out. We'll see. Elections are coming up. Real beauty is here, says sure. It looks like Gavin. Newsome cares about people's health. When he forces cocaine, vaccine passports, and then runs to a restaurant on lockdown without a mass. Also, can you really take him seriously when he made spreading HIV? Not a felony? No, you can't really, again, imagine, I don't know why anybody in California takes him seriously. Be brave, says I've heard some hospitals may mandate it to allow entrance, perhaps that applies for the VA. It's a messed up either way. Good to see you be brave. Thanks for that. We have Osaka in the house says, Hey, Rob, governor something job is as governor. He should think about a job on the Supreme court and compare current issues to as clear understanding of constitutional law. It's spot on that's from Osaka. Good to see you. And we'll just wrap some of these up. We've got farmer's daughter says, hello. Everyone learned a lot and had a great time on Saturday. I'm hoping governor Reynolds will fight. She's been great so far. My husband is also a veteran. He told me if he's required to get the jab to go, he'll use his alternate insurance. I don't trust the test either. Especially since gates and Soros purchased it. They did didn't they, they purchased some sort of, uh, uh, I think a testing company we got[inaudible] says also Andrew Cuomo has no moral legitimacy. When he sends old people to nursing homes complaining, he can't send them. The hospitals, the state government always asks the feds for help. Yet he did not ask for help, like using helicopters to transport patients. Huh? Interesting. He says very interesting. That's from reboot day. And then we've also got, be brave, says 51% of the U S is unvaccinated the majority, by the way, I will take the vaccine. COVID more seriously. When the illegals pouring into our country must be backed for entry. That's from be brave. It's a, it's a fair point. It's a fair point. Lord Nelson is here, says Cuomo looks funny for not wanting to allow an unvaccinated person into the work space. We'll see. Maybe there's going to be a mass Exodus in New York. And then lastly, on this segment we've got, oh, sock says the VAX thing is about saving lives. It's about finding out what people will go along with compliance, compliance, compliance, compliance, right? It's it certainly feels that way to yours. Truly. All right. Great questions. All of those came over from watching the watchers.locals.com. I appreciate all of them. Thank you so much for your support. Okay. So we're gonna move on into the next segment. Social media companies have been having their fingers on the scales for quite some time. About a year ago, two years ago, I would never have imagined that a cabal of tech platforms could just remove a sitting president from the internet essentially. Well, that happened. And we're still dealing with the fallout and the consequences of that. And now it's sort of a tightening up a little bit, isn't it? We're seeing that a lot of efforts are being put into dealing with harmful language and violent extremist and domestic extremism and all sorts of white supremacy and all sorts of anti-government sentiment. And the list goes on and on and on. And we spend a lot of time on this channel talking about it. Now we have a sitting us Senator who wants to take it a little bit further. She wants to introduce a new bill called the health Mississippi formation act. That's going to target dangerous misinformation on this social media platforms. And so we're going to have to ask ourselves, well, what kind of information is she talking about? Who defines what this misinformation is? What is dangerous and harmful versus what is debatable and useful? Let's see if we can piece this together. This is being reported over from Politico, Amy Klobuchar. You may remember her. She actually ran for the presidency in the last election. And I think she made it somewhat far. I think she was actually third or fourth person left up there long after Kamala Harris got booted out Clover char targets, vaccine misinformation got a new bill. That's going to be addressing section two 30. She says, we need a long-term solution that goes beyond removing accounts, spreading falsehoods about the crisis, right? So we're always going to be asking ourselves, what is she talking about? What are these falsehoods that she's talking about? She introduced legislation last week to fight bogus medical claims that are being spread around online during the Corona virus crisis. It's going to target section two 30, which of course is that very old, uh, Britain in the 1990s that basically gives social media companies immunity as long as they're not doing certain things and sort of becoming publishers as long as they're not, uh, you know, sort of writing the content users are on their platforms, writing the content, then they're insulated from civil claims. They're insulated from liability. So what Klobuchar wants to do now is carve out an exception to that to say, Nope, you're not going to be light. You are going to be liable. If you talk or allow medical claims that are problematic to be on your platform. Section two 30 was a 1996 law that protects internet platforms from liability for their posts. She says, we need a longterm solution. Okay. Here is the bill. So let's take a look at what's going on here in the Senate of the United States. What they want to do is amend the communications act of 1934 old act to provide that under certain circumstances, interactive computer service providers that allow for the proliferation of health misinformation through the service shall be treated as a publisher or as a speaker of that misinformation and for other purposes, right? And so many people were saying that this should be applied across the board, not just for COVID problems, right? If they're going to be censoring Donald Trump, if they're going to be putting those little tags on every one of your posts, aren't they kind of adding, adding something to your post doesn't that kind of make them a publisher aren't they kind of speaking because they're adding conversation to what you're saying. So almost like they're an editor, right? Almost like when you write an article as a journalist for the New York times, you send it to your editor and they say, no, that take that out, take this out. You're not allowed to say this. You can say this, make some changes. That kind of what Twitter and Facebook were doing. Every time you posted something, uh, misinformation, uh, officials have decided the election differently, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so the th the theory was, if they're going to do that, okay, fine. If you want to be publishers. Well, we're just going to open up liability for you. We're just going to Sue the heck out of you for, uh, publishing untrue things or for, you know, discriminatory practices or whatever it may be. Now, Klobuchar does not go that far. She only wants them to be liable for health misinformation. And so we're going to take a look at this bill and see what she means by that. So we're already read through this paragraph. This is a bill introduced Ms.[inaudible] for herself, and we have Mr. Lou Hahn introduce the bill, read twice, introduced into committee. They're calling it the health misinformation act of 2021. So we have some findings and this is always sort of, kind of like legislative history, a little bit. It's what Congress is using as justification for this bill. It's Congress says that this is a problem, uh, access to accurate and reliable information is crucial during a crisis like this January 27th, 2020, we have the new secretary, I'm sorry. That was the old secretary of health and human services determined that a health emergency existed as of this date, more than 34 million COVID cases, 600,000 deaths since the declaration, uh, COVID is, uh, is, you know, continuing to be problematic. And they say specifically, paragraph two, misinformation and disinformation related to COVID-19 have spread at an alarming rate, which has hindered the public response efforts and B endangered lives see that there, right? So this is where we're going to see some, some, some strong justifications from the government that this is absolutely absolutely necessary. The COVID-19 pandemic is the first in human history during which the internet is being used to keep individuals connected. Internet's pretty dang important. Isn't it? And be where misinformation and disinformation about the disease and the treatments and preventative measures with respect to the disease, including vaccines have proliferated all over the internet, very dangerous spreading of information. She says that features are built into technology that have contributed to the spread of misinformation, like, you know, sharing content, liking stuff, adding comments, creating other positive signals of engagement, which rewards engagement rather than accuracy, right? There's a problem with social media. She says, social media companies use algorithms then to determine what users see. And they prioritize content based on stuff that is controversial, which furthers the effects of misinformation and disinformation. Right? And you've seen this, right? Some of the best videos that we talk about here on YouTube are the ones that spark a conversation because the algorithm here likes that if people are killing themselves in the comments, you a lot of activity, a lot of engagement and the algorithm say, oh, well, that's spicy. So we're going to boost that up a little bit. And what's happening now is that, you know, all of these different conversations are taking place and Amy Klobuchar and many of the Democrats are unhappy about these conversations. So now what they want is Facebook to sort of make some adjustments to these algorithms, make sure that all of that engagement that is so problematic is disfavored in favor of accuracy, whatever that is. We still haven't gotten a definition of misinformation or accuracy or medical misinformation or anything like that. But we'll see if we get there. One study has found that as much as 65% of misinformation and disinformation on the internet and social media relates back to 12 individuals, I'd like to know who those 12 people are. Uh, COVID all came from them, right? We're going to be targeting 12 people, that code, which we have a list on that is there, is there, is there a list? Has anybody seen a list out there? I'd be curious. We have the COVID-19 pandemic remains an ongoing threat, blah, blah, blah. So now let's get into the treatment of the publisher or the speaker. So we're talking about the different providers. They're going to amend the section two 30. They're going to strike that note provider. So that would mean that any, any, you know, internet provider, and they're going to change that. They're going to say, and they're going to add a sub paragraph adding in an exception. So let's read this a provider of an internet, internet interactive computer service shall be treated as a publisher or speaker of health misinformation that is created or developed through the interactive computer service during a covered period. If the provider promotes that health misinformation through an algorithm used by the provider or similar software functionality, except that this, this paragraph shall not apply. If the promotion occurs through a neutral mechanism and through the use of chronological functionality, see what that means. So we have a covered period that covered periods, you know, certain dates when this is an effect guidance, not later than 30 days, health and human services has to do something with it. So that's it, my friends, that's the entire bill. It's the entire stinking bill right there. Uh, there's no definition in this bill, which I'm kind of shocked about, right? Is that the whole bill? It's the whole bill. Oh, I I'm. I'm I'm 90% sure. I clipped this whole bill, that's it? So we have no definition of health misinformation, no idea what that even means. And unless I am brain dead here, I don't know what's what's in there. Okay. So an absolutely awful bill doesn't define anything and it's probably not going to go anywhere, but nice attempt there a little bit sharp. We also have though, uh, regardless of whether that bill goes anywhere, th the fact that she's doing that is certainly scary. Uh, but it may not even matter. We may not need the federal government to get in there and do anything because the tech companies are doing it on their own Reuters report point reported over here today said that Facebook and tech giants are now going to be targeting attacker, manifestos and far right. Militias in a database. So that's great. I am sure that I'm a part of that one because when our discord got canceled, that's the reason, right? I was a, uh, a dangerous Kyle Rittenhouse, militia, racist, Nazi, white supremacists, something. So, uh, hopefully I'm on that list because you know, that that will be nice. Counter-terrorism organization has been formed, not by the U S government, but by U S tech companies, which are basically the government now like Facebook and Microsoft, they're significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database. So now they're all talking to each other. Facebook will share your stuff with Google. We'll share your stuff with Microsoft, which may even share your stuff with Twitter and all the rest of them now. So if you just say, I'm not going to use Facebook anymore, I'm going to go use Google, or I'm going to go use whatever Twitter. Well, they're probably a part of this thing too. Let's see what else is here until now the global internet forum to counter terrorism has focused on videos and images from terrorist groups. So as largely consisted of content from Islamic extremist organizations, like the, like ISIS Al Qaeda and the Taliban, but over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos often shared by sympathizers, after white supremacist violence and other publications linked by the UN initiative tech against terrorism gonna use lists from intelligence sharing groups, like five eyes. We've talked a lot about them. Remember five eyes. Those are the different democratic democracies. I think it's us great Britain, Australia, New Zealand. And I don't know what the other one is, but, so they're all, they're all already sharing data about you amongst themselves, because the U S can't spy on you without a warrant. But, uh, the Australians can cause if they violate us law well, so what what's the us going to do to them? So they just worked this thing out, or they just do it, you know, covertly. And so now apparently all of your tech companies are also going to be working with the five eyes. So that's good. Also it says that they're going to be focusing on groups like the proud boys, the three percenters and neo-Nazis, which I keep hearing a lot about, but I'm not seeing them cause mayhem or havoc around the country on a regular basis. Uh, other groups are like, you know, Antifa and those, those groups. But, uh, but apparently they're not worried about them. The, from now also, oh yeah, Twitter's a, a part of it. So Twitter is on there. Uh, alphabets in there, we got YouTube. They're going to share hashes, which are unique, new, unique numerical representations of original pieces that have been removed from their services. Other platforms are gonna use and identify the same content on their own sites. So, uh, every everything, every everything that you touch now is just going to be gobbled up by some bureaucrat somewhere. So that's good stuff. Now, it's also going over to the financial sector. You may notice that the cryptocurrencies are up pretty dramatically today. Bitcoin is on a big rally as is a theory them, and, you know, it might have something to do with a lot of lacking of trust in our current financial infrastructure. Here's another story that might contribute to that. PayPal is going to research transactions, that fund hate groups and extremists. So now PayPal is also going to be partnering with the Anti-Defamation league to investigate how extremists and hate movements in the U S take advantage advantage of their financial platforms. ADL center on extremism is going to be focused on this financial flows. They're going to identify that support white supremacists and anti-government organizations. They're not talking about watching the Watchers, are they, we're not anti-government. We just really want a smaller, less, big government. That's not as terrible. And if it, if we didn't, you know, if we didn't have really a federal government or something that was significantly smaller, that might be okay too, but in a non-violent way, right? In a very, very peaceful, loving way. So it also looks at networks spreading and profiteering from anti-Semitism Islamophobia racism. Anti-immigrant anti-black at the Hispanic anti-Asian bigotry. So now PayPal is PayPal is going to be telling you that you're a bigot for whatever you buy or sell or whatever the information collected through the initiatives were going to be shared with other firms in the financial industry, in law enforcement and policy makers. So the continued, uh, sort of inter meshing interweaving between the private sector and our government continues on. It's very, very incestuous. And it's very, uh, uh, uh, disgusting. Yeah. So that's, that's happening right now, all around us, all the big tech platforms falling in line to combat that extremism and that bigotry. Okay, well, let's take a look and see what some of the questions are having to say what some of the comments are looking like. Uh, let's see, we're going to go over to the form from locals. If I can find my mouse, there it is. Let's see what else we've got on this topic, uh, for, uh, uh, federal unemployment tax access, uh, you know, CLO Machar is bad for trying to censor and spy on people. The NSA has always spying on us. We don't need another apparatus for spying. Also doesn't Facebook and Twitter defacto remove what they call this information, really people. Why are you still using SMS? The NSA is spying on you, and hence people should be using signal or element for messaging and adapt privacy mindset to ensure freedom of speech and minimizing mass spying. That's right. Uh, alternative parallel systems are being created right now. We have a Todd trout says wasn't Galileo jailed for spreading misinformation. Yeah, I think that was back during sort of the enlightenment era. Wasn't it? Uh, when he was advocating for the solar centric model of our solar system and the Catholic church said, no, the earth is the center of everything there Galileo. And he said, no, but I have a, I have a telescope right here. I made this thing. I think a, we don't want, we don't want your devil lenses. I can kind of I'm Catholic. So I can kind of a needle the church a little bit. But, uh, yeah, that did happen. We have Sergeant Bob is in the house as, uh, going back to the 1930s, the newly elected, a ruler of Germany, government control of communications. How did that work out? History is a great teacher. If only the students pay attention. Yeah. You have to get control of the conversation, right? You can control control people's ability to provide for themselves. It's sort of like Maslov's hierarchy of needs. Right. And if you're concerned about descent, if you're concerned about people not following orders, you definitely have to control their communication. Uh, let's see. Uh, no. Uh, okay. So no, Nope, no name on this as I normally don't get to you while on air. I watch reruns afterwards. You're doing good. Thanks. Thank you, sir. Or Madam, whoever you are. I appreciate that nice feedback. Soul liking is in the house says after Ms. Saki revealed that the white house staff is assisting big tech flag and identifying misinformation, when will this be used by freedom lovers as an additional evidence to the two 30 debates? So, you know, soul biking, I, I don't know. I don't really have much faith that our elected officials are going to do anything about big tech at all. And so I think that the real solution here is alternative platforms. And I mean that, and I mean that in a, in a, in a serious, significant way. And it's, it's more than locals, which is amazing. It's more than, you know, some of these other competing communities like mine's, I think is another one. There are many of them, but it's about sort of a new structure for kind of the internet, for the backbone of decentralized protocols that allow us to communicate, right? It's the signals, it's the telegrams, it's all these little pieces. It's the locals, it's the rumbles. And there's this whole separate ecosystem that is being built out right now. And they don't realize it yet. Big tech and you know, YouTube and Google and all these people, right? Google popped up out of nowhere. Facebook popped up out of nowhere. Nobody was expecting them. We're going to have that again. It might take 10 years, but it will. People are going to get tired of this. People don't want all of their information scoured by PayPal. It doesn't matter. You don't have to be a white supremacist. Hey, I am not a white supremacist. Despite what some people have said, I am not, not at all. Okay. I still don't want PayPal scrutinizing my, my transactions. That's my business. Nobody asked you to do that. When I signed up for your service, I didn't know you were going to do that. So all of these new, these new, new, new protocols are problematic. And as soon as there are viable alternatives, people are going to bail out. All right, we've got a few more on this. Joe Snow says misinformation. So anything that, that disagrees with corrupt alternatives or corrupt narratives, whether true or not, these senators are not room temperature, IQs. Why are they acting so dumb? The slippery slope of free speech starts here, but where will it end? That's from Joe Snow. Thanks for that, Joe. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe you don't leave your home and you can't say anything unless it's approved super ironed. Bob is here. It says, what are the health implications of eating a salad with a comb? I need to know Ms. Glover jar. Now that social media companies are able to add entries to the GIF CT hash database. How do we know that the identified items are actually appropriately entered allowing companies to create new legal system with no recourse for the accused and a new government without any representation will haunt us for the ages. Yeah. What you see here is sort of a criminal it's sort of a pseudo criminal system, right? You have all of these corporations. Now, these big tech corporations that are protected by the government because the government wants them to do the work that the government can't do. The government can't go in there and spy on you without a warrant. They can't mandate that you say certain things, they can't sensor you. They can't do any of that stuff, but Facebook can, Twitter can, Google can no problem. So there's this very cozy relationship between the behemoth of our us government and all of these big tech monopolies. And so they're just happy as clams working together symbiotically to make sure that they continue to remove your liberties from you because the government can't do it on their own. They're going to use these third parties to do it, even though it's undermining the various promised principles that you were granted via your citizenship here. Okay? It's a very important thing to be a citizen here. It's a, it's a revered status because you have certain privileges that don't exist in other countries, something to be taken very seriously. That's why people as they're coming through the naturalization services are bawling their eyes out because they realize what an important thing it is. And so what we have now are those rights and privileges being sort of surreptitiously stripped away from you by third parties, the government can't do it. Facebook certainly can. And I, 100% agree with you, super iron Bob. We're all going to wake up and say, that's weird. They're sort of controlling things. It's sort of like a platforming or, or de platforming without representation, right? Remember no taxation without representation. How about no de platforming without representation? We have zero representation for many of these people. And that's by design because our government is useless. They hold these people in front of them and they don't, they don't even ask them a hard question. It's embarrassing and people are gonna w you know, the society is going to pay the consequences for it, but not before people bail out, people are going to jump out of this. I saw an article today saying that a lot of the regulators, the financial regulators are very, very concerned about a flight of capital capital, leaving the economic systems and going into the crypto spaces and decentralized protocols. That same thing is going to happen with citizenship and with economics and all sorts of, you know, things like religion. People are going to look for alternative systems because our current systems are crumbling all around us. Oh, sock says, Rob, do you think if we have this information, laws and penalties for ones who they claim are spreading it, that there should be compensation and found that they were right after all? Uh, no, not re no, not really. I mean, I don't, I don't think that disinformation is by itself, you know, dangerous, right. People people can, can do, can do dangerous things with information and disinformation. But if you have an, uh, you know, first of all, I have to understand what this information is, right? If you're a medical doctor and you say, Hey, take two of these. And that person drops dead because you gave him the bad information. Well, that's a problem, right? I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about people that have reasonable disagreements about evidence or about scientific studies or about, you know, political opinions or sociological opinions. All of that is free speech. And it all should be subject to debate. Somebody wants to talk about experimental drugs or experimental vaccines or whatever. They should be free to do that without some government bureaucrat coming in and telling us that's misinformation, you have to be thrown off the internet for that. Not appropriate, not in, uh, in, in conform conform with our values, with our civil liberties that we have, you know, spent a lot of blood and toil on. All right. We got, let's see who else? I think I clipped that one. We have this one over here from pili. Wally is here. It says, Hey, Rob. So who decides what is good information? Or what is misinformation? It's a good question. I looked in the bill. Didn't see it. Isn't it just varied opinions and freedom of speech at the end of the day. Yes. What has the Western world become? Take me back to the 1990s. I remember, man. I remember when all of the liberals out there like Dennis[inaudible] and many people on that side of the island back when George Bush was running, man, they were all free speeches back then because George Bush was out there saying, you know, well, you know, we're going to clamp this down and Iraq, war and terrorism. And, you know, we got to start, you know, making sure that they were doing the same thing with the D with the foreign terrorist. They're going to do it, you know, here again. But back then, there were a lot of people who were very concerned about that saying, this is a free speech problem. Where did they all go? Where are, where are all of the lefty free speeches? I like that party better than the current one. Don't know where they're, where they've gone. And the Republicans don't care either. So they've always been useless as far as I can tell Sarah S is in the house, says, could this be an attempt to go after smaller platforms like rumble or locals on the basis of spreading misinformation? I think that that is a very reasonable, uh, prospect, right? And you have to also understand the compliance cost with these things. This is, this is part of the problem with some of these big conglomerates. This is why Amazon says, oh, we're big enough. Now we're in all of the different states, we're worth a hundred billion dollars or whatever it is, or I'm sorry, a trillion dollars. And we're okay. Being taxed now. That's okay. So we, we fought tooth and nail for it. Uh, we, we took it to the Supreme court. We were bending over backwards to make sure that we didn't have to pay taxes. And their argument was that we have no physical plant until they opened the physical plant and they had to pay taxes. So they'll do that. They'll make sure that they get as big as they want. They get to the top. And then they pull up the ladder from under them. They say, yup, taxes are fine. Taxes for online. Businesses are perfectly okay now because they know that the compliance cost, Amazon can deal with that. But the startups can't, so they get a benefit. And then they pull the ladder up. When they get to the top, same thing is going to be happening here. Right? Facebook can comply with these rules. They've got many billions and billions of dollars that they can just pay the government a fine if they get penalized, but it's not about Facebook, right? So for Facebook, it's about nudging them into compliance a little bit and making sure they know who's boss, but it, this really can be a very powerful tool for the alternative media, for rumble, um, to, to crush them, right. Rumble is still in startup mode. Locals is still in startup mode. And so if they've got to comply with a million dollar fine for disinformation, that's a huge problem, right? They're going to go out of business and they're going to be thrown out into the wilderness. So you certainly can see how it could be problematic. We have thunder seven, uh, we've got, looks like what's. Uh, yeah. So we're talking, talking about the audits over here in this comment. Dems are terrified that even deep platforms, certain conservatives, 12 people, they talk about, they get millions of views, but they don't actually name them. They lie to justify their ongoing censorship of any opposing view. That's from thunder seven, we've got a few more Larry, 1944 says, makes one wonder if any of these politicians have ever read and understand the constitution. Congress shall make no law establishing many things. No. Good to see you. No doubt says, does this mean that doctors will not be allowed to post or advertise on technology? Perhaps they can prominently post the lawyer talk and include the ad as small print? I would prefer section two 30 was modified to say, quote, tech companies that include protection for citizens. First amendment rights will receive protections from being sued under this act. And I agree with you. No doubt. We talked about some of this. When I was playing around with the digital bill of rights, we started to write a digital bill of rights on this channel many, many months ago, back in January after the first round of censorship came down. Uh, but that idea was I think a good one by saying, we're going to make sure that we, we raise our civil rights to a certain standard that private sectors cannot encroach upon. Just like we did with the civil rights back in the 1960s, we said, yes, those two different restaurants. And if you have a restaurant and you want to say, you know, black people over here, white people over here not acceptable anymore. So we passed a law. We said our civil rights were raising. The standard up for private companies can do the easily, the same thing with free speech here in the United States, but they will never do that. So the real way to get some meaningful reform in this area, you go to different platforms, which of course is what we're doing@watchingthewatchersdotlocals.com. Couple more of these. We have, uh, Nope, I already did that one. We've got tos forever says I was against communist medical pharma is not the creator of anything. Now Klobuchar is legalizing the denial of the human, right? To think, take care and make choices for myself. They want you to outsource your thinking to them. They'll do the thinking for you. You just follow orders.[inaudible] says isn't the government restricting specific speech, a violation of the first amendment. Yeah, they're called a content prohibitions, right? So the government is not allowed to manage the content of what you say, but they can limit time, place and manner, which is a different sort of a, that that's a part of first amendment jurisprudence, but it's not necessary. This is not applicable to the big tech companies, right? They are not the government. You need a government actor in order to implicate a restriction on the first amendment. If there is no government actor, if it's Facebook, well, then they can kind of do what they want. Right. And so section two 30, what she wants to do is carve out an exception that would open liability to them. The government is currently protecting them. Couple more. We have from watching the watchers.locals.com we've got Lamar says, so you have an earpiece in now. Does that mean that you have another producer working with you? No, Lamar, I don't. This is just to hear myself because I like to sort of move around. And so now I can hear that the audio is not good. I can hear it. So I, I know I need to get above the mic a little bit more. And so sometimes I get off, you know, wild and no. And so I just have to sort of hear myself and it allows me to use the mic as a little bit more of an instrument rather than just, you know, I could put the mic up here. Uh, truly I could, I could put a mic up here and I could just, you know, move it off camera, but kind of like moving it around. And then of course I have angle too, which I'm working on over here. And so I need to sort of have a movable mix, but Nope, it is. It's just me doing the show right now. Uh, which is, uh, I'm sorry, it's just me doing the production of the show. Uh, I have some amazing people helping on the backend production. As soon as I'm done with the show, they clip everything up for me. Uh, but all the prep and slides and all of, all of that is currently yours. Truly. That's what that's about. We have a big one from farmer's daughter, lets says, this says, I don't know how you can read through this stuff with a straight face. You and most people here probably know this, but just in case, there are a few who don't. The CDC is a public charity like Clinton and the other foundations receive charitable contributions. They have billions and vaccines invested. So of course your information could never be biased. So I understand what you're saying. Farmer's daughter. So, you know, certainly I, I have to take your word for, for those claims. I think the bigger point is that there are a lot of conflicts of interest that take place all across everything that we do, right? And oftentimes these are not communicated appropriately. These are not disclosed. We, we know nothing about them. And then we get a virus that escapes from a lab in UConn because we have a bunch of money being funneled through all different people in order to do something somewhere. And then when it all leaks out, everybody points their fingers at each other. So farmer's daughter. I totally understand what you're saying. It is problematic. I think we have eat on test, says Fowchee said that the science of COVID evolved and they learn more. So they changed their views. So if you punish someone for misinformation and later find out that you were incorrect, how do they recompense you for damages? That's true. Right? Our U S government put out a lot of misinformation all over the place. So are they going to get deep platforms or, or, or what? I don't know. Larry, 1944 says the enemies within our form, far more dangerous to our Republic and the CCP, Iran, Russia, North Korea and Cuba combined. I totally agree with you, Larry. I agree with you completely. And it is a, it's sort of sad to see what's going on, but we're going to do what we can to keep moving the needle forward in the right direction. We've got a super chat from Beth Cottington says, Robert, you look good from all angles. This one too, Beth, this one. All right. All right, well, we're going to keep playing around with that. I got to make some adjustments, but I'm having fun with it. All right. So, uh, great questions. Thank you for all of those from watching the watchers.locals.com. All right. And we are going to continue, uh, moving forward. Our last segment of the day, Andrew Cuomo was in a lot of hot water for sending a bunch of COVID patients back to elderly senior centers. We're a very high risk elderly people. We're going to catch the COVID virus and then drop dead. Now in New York, we don't really know the total numbers of speculative deaths that may have been caused by this. In fact, the governor's office says, no, we didn't do anything wrong at all. So I don't even know what your problem is. But the DOJ got involved. The department of justice, the new Biden administration is now in charge and several different Congress. People from New York sent letters over to the DOJ, to the department of justice. They said, Hey, you're the department of justice. We have an injust thing happening here in New York city. We have a governor who's killing grandma and grandpa in large numbers. Right? Very problematic. This is not a joke. DOJ kicks it around for a couple of months. And then they declined to investigate. Cuomo's handling of COVID-19 don't you hate that? They just this, oh, we looked into it now. We're not going to do anything us department announced on Saturday. That's not going to conduct a civil investigation into New York, governor Andrew Cuomo and his handling of the Corona virus case in the state nursing facilities. Zeldin who is a government. Uh, uh, I think he's an elected Congressman had requested the investigation earlier this year saying that a growing number of state and federal inquiries, uh, are happening with the New York governor. So in January, there was a report from New York, general attorney general, Tish James member, Latisha, James, that same New York attorney general. That gets very Facey. When she's mad at Donald Trump members, she said something about, I will never, I will, I will always, I will never stop fighting this illegitimate president. And she did one of those things, which I don't think she has anything medically wrong with her. She's just very passionate. So if I, if I'm wrong about that, I feel bad about that, but I don't think so. I should very president she's very mad about it. So, okay. So she has also botched a number of cases, including the Rochester, uh, death of Daniel prude that was murdered by Rochester police. Also the Rochester police, I think beat the heck out of that. A nine-year-old girl, he was nine years old, maced. Her warned her, Hey, nine-year-old, we're going to pepper spray you. And then did it when she was in handcuffs in the back of a police car. So same attorney, Bernie general is now investigating. Uh, we have a Cuomo. She said, January that a large number, no, no number, no, no actual number. But you said quite a large number of nursing home residents died from COVID more than the New York state department of health published during nursing home data. They may have undercounted deaths by as much as 50 stinking folks, meaning the governor of New York may have undercounted 50% of all their nursing home COVID deaths. And remember, this is the backstory here was that they were just sort of miscategorizing people. So they would, they would take people to hospitals and treat them. And if they got sick and died there, then that would be a hospital death. But if they sent them back to a nursing home, you would expect that they, and they died at, at a nursing home. You would expect that that would be a nursing home death. But I, if I recall correctly, the way that they were flubbing the numbers is they would say that, well, if you came from the hospital and died in the nursing home, while we're still going to count that as a hospital, death, not a nursing home death. And you say, okay, well, that's a lot of deaths that you're attributing to a hospital death and not a nursing home death. And so then what they would do is when people would get sick in the nursing homes, they would just ship them to the hospitals so that they could die in the hospitals. And so they had this like cycle of people, you know, rolling through there, coming from the hospitals because they have no beds. So they're going to place them in nursing homes, spread the Corona virus, count the person they sent to the nursing home as a hospital death, because he caught it from the hospital. Allegedly sent him back to the home because there was no beds. And then the people who are sick in the nursing home who go and die in the hospital, those are also hospital deaths. So a lot of people died in the hospital, but nobody died in the nursing homes. Letitia James says, yeah, it might've been as much as 50%. So you might imagine that, you know, half of the, of the deaths that might be attributed to your government policy, governor, that that might make you subject to an investigation, gross negligence, your activity resulted in the deaths of thousands of people like thousands of people. Okay. Not, not the five, six people that were on, uh, were killed at January thousands of senior citizens as a result of government negligence, not sick as a result of government negligence. Hmm. Let's see what else is going on here? That report also found that many nursing home facilities did not properly isolate residents. Last July in New York health officials released a report denying that their policies had caused any increase in fatality. So the department of justice, they're very, very busy trying to capture grandma and all of the different, uh, individuals who were there on January six, very focused on that. They don't have enough time or resources to investigate, you know, thousands of dead, uh, senior citizens. Uh, this is coming over from Joe[inaudible], deputy assistant attorney general. Let's take a look at his statement. This is from the U S department of justice office of legislative affairs. We see that this was stamped July 23rd. He sends a letter over to the honorable Lee Zeldin over at the U S house of representatives. He's a New York Congressman says I dear congressmen. This responds to your letter back in February. So, you know, a couple of a couple, a couple of months later, but addressed to the attorney general regarding the New York response to COVID-19 in nursing facilities, where I sending an identical response to other members, the DOJ, the department, through the civil rights division, we have the authority to investigate these things. The civil rights division requested information from New York by a letter dated August 26 regarding COVID the letter stated that they would assist the department in, in determining whether to open an investigation. New York provided information in response, and here we go, folks, we have reviewed the information provided by New York, along with additional information available to the department. Based on that review, we have decided not to open a Crip investigation of any public nursing facility within New York. At this time, if we were to open one at a later date, we would follow the procedure and give you notice. We hope this information is helpful. Guess what? It's not, you didn't give them any information. This is the whole letter focuses the whole stinking letter. We hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact this office. If we may be of any further information, there is nothing there. They didn't say why they didn't say there's going to be any other recourse. Are they going to refer this over to somebody else? Nope. We got the information from New York and we know you sent us a letter. Uh, so we contacted New York and they sent us their date. We looked at it and it looks good. Right? The police agencies investigating themselves and finding we did nothing wrong and everybody's saying, oh, good job, everybody. Good job. Yeah. Well done. Got to the bottom of it. We got to the bottom of it. All right, good. So our, our, our U S our, our entire department of justice. How many resources are they still spending on January six? Resulted in six deaths. Okay. Several of those were from the, the Trump people. One of those was I shooting, and I think one of them was natural causes and another suicide. Okay. We're going to spend, uh, uh, probably a billion dollars on that. When all is said and done, I mean, good Lord, but we can't even open an inquiry into thousands of dead senior citizens in New York. Okay. What did a rep Zeldin have to say about this? He responded said today, Congressman issued the following reports. He said, New York, seniors, tragically, and unnecessarily died of COVID. As a result of governor Cuomo's incompetent and inhumane executive order that required nursing homes to accept COVID-19 patients. The governor has engaged in Blaine. Corruption covered up the consequences of his failed policy, had the audacity to sign an absurd 5.1 million self-congratulatory book deal, braising COVID leadership. All while new Yorkers were grieving and clamoring answers the families and loved ones of the victims of governor Cuomo's failed. Leadership deserve transparency, accountability, and the truth. That's almost the line from this show about the length of the Cuomo administration's coverup and their corruption. DOJ has now chosen to willfully participate in efforts to deny the public of answers and accountability, adding this to the book deal. And the Emmy award, the DOJ decision is yet another gift to a corrupt governor turning a blind eye to the facts, the victims, and the public interest. So, uh, absolutely no justice, right? No justice at all, but okay. That's our new, uh, new DOJ. We have a Steve, Scully's also unhappy about this. It says that the DOJ just said, they're refusing to investigate the nursing home. COVID death scandals in New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, absolutely shameful. They're complicit in these democratic governors, coverups families who lost loved ones. You deserve better. Uh, yes, but they don't actually care about the COVID deaths. They care about your compliance, right? They don't care. The Cuomo sent bodies of infected code people back to nursing homes. I understand making a mistake, but let's gross. Negligence. DOJ should be investigating it. New York governor's office remains under state and federal scrutiny. Don't hold your breath at anything. Going to come from that over multiple questions. Us attorney's office in Brooklyn is conducting an investigation into its nursing home policies for undercounting the number of fatalities don't hold your breath. Us attorney's office did not comment on Saturday on that investigation also continues to investigate allegations of sexual harassment, as well as more than 5 million, the governor received for a book, he authored about the pandemic, also under investigation for allegedly giving preferential treatment to family members for Corona virus testing. So the guys just, just an absolute, you know, oligarch piece of work and our DOJ just, oh, oh, thanks for that data there. Cuomo. We got the letter from you. We, we reviewed the numbers. We looked at your spreadsheet. You're in the clear, we're going to drop everything. Just get back to what you're doing. You're doing a great job. Thanks. Thanks for your press conferences. All right. So let's take a look@somequestionsoverfromwatchingthewatchersdotlocals.com and see if anything is coming on. This topic certainly has we have Lorenzo greasy bottoms is back here. Good to see you, Lorenzo. It's been a long time. My friend, uh, comment. No, I can't get that. Can't read that one. Uh, but says, yeah, I can't read that comment there, Lorenzo. Hello. All right. We have a Sergeant Bob in the house, as I think this may come from Mira Garland. He is so incensed that he didn't get a black robe on the Supreme court and is blocked by Republicans. That he will exact retribution in any manner. He can hell hath no fury like a politician scorned. That's from Sergeant Bob. Yeah, probably a little bit of a living needle. Back there will be thorn in the side there of Merrick Garland. What Sergeant Bob is talking about is that Merrick Garland was actually nominated to be a Supreme court judge. Many people forgot about that and was denied because Mitch McConnell was in charge of the Senate during Barack Obama's last term. And you need the Senate to confirm a Supreme court judge. So they didn't do that. They didn't confirm Eric Garland. Guess who won the next election? Donald Trump guests who got that seat. That was Kavanaugh. And so we had Gorsuch from Trump. Then we had Kavanaugh. No, actually I think that was Gorsuch. It was first, it was first Gorsuch then Kavanaugh, then Amy Coney Barrett. So we got three of them. Gorsuch was the first one. Ooh. Yeah. And he's not happy about that. Neither are the Democrats. Lot of court packing conversations happening on these days. We have Gail oh eight says it wasn't just, Cuomo's under counting of the nursing home deaths. It was Cuomo's lying in the cover-up of information that was requested by the DOJ that investigation may have actually had consequences until the DOJ dropped its investigations against the governors, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Yeah. You know, and listen, I've had, I've had a lot of sort of leniency if I want to use that word for, you know, for people who are in the middle of a crisis who make bad decisions, always been okay with that, right. If you're gonna make a mistake, that's okay. We all make mistakes. The problem is when you try to cover up that mistake or when you try to deny it, or when you don't own up to that, that's the problem, because that means you didn't learn anything. And we, as a society, of course don't want to go through this again. So all, all of the original mistakes, you know, the nursing home thing is sort of mind boggling because we all knew that the elderly from like day one were the most susceptible to this thing. So that was an asinine decision in the first place. But you can have a little bit of, of empathy for, for a leader in the middle of a crisis like COVID, but then they cover it up and then they go, you know, write books and get Emmys and do all sorts of stuff. When you just were, you hadn't like more deaths than anybody in the country did all seniors because of your stupid policies. So that seems a little bit inappropriate and criminal actually thunder seven says, Rob, unfortunately, the DOJ not doing their job is the way. Now I remember when the Dem Gov's ignored the hospital ships and field hospitals and shove the elderly in nursing homes to kill them. They did it deliberately to blame Trump before the election mass murder is now fully accepted by the Biden Nazi regime hoof. That's a spicy woo woo, woo. Somebody call me down on that. Woo. It's tough. Thunder seven. You know, I, um, it was interesting watching the politics be played with this. You know, I was thinking back about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Remember that super clip that we played that super, you know, a mega montage of them coming out and screaming, you know, oh, if Trump passes the vaccine, we're not gonna, we're not going to take it. We had many clips of that. And of course that was all political posturing, right? That was before the election, they were, they were speculating and hedging their bets predicting the Donald Trump might come out with an October surprise, Hey, we got a vaccine. Hey, it's good to go. Everything's fine. Now. And so Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, they needed to sow seeds of doubt in the vaccine at that time, because if he would have come out with this, you know, October surprise, boom, he may have been reelected. Trump delivered it, operation warp speed. He got us there. So they were already laying the framework. It's Pre-Suasion because they were anticipating that they were playing chess. They're saying Trump and his team might come out with something and pull a rabbit out of a hat at the last minute. And we have to sort of, you know, take the wind out of that before it gets there. Then election night happened, their tune changed miraculously. Why Bob? Because they won. So we know that COVID has been politics all through and through from, from day one, in my opinion, it's all been about politics and it is still, it is still about politics, uh, much more so than it is about saving lives. Many, many, many other alternatives to save lives. But for some reason we have governors shoving elderly COVID patients into nursing homes. So I don't know how you justify that. We have Todd trout says shouldn't the New York nursing home investigation be a New York state case, not a federal case. Isn't the coverup of the negligence be the actual crime. Yeah. So you could, I think that the, the, um, the congressmen who sent the original letter over to the DOJ was treating this as a civil rights violation, sort of as a, uh, I think th you know, disabled, uh, federal, federal statutes that would invoke some disability statutes and things that would've made it a federal cause of action. So it was a, it's a, it's a federal elected representative. He sent something that was a federal cause of action to the federal DOJ. I don't know what they're doing locally, but I would imagine that local state senators may be also, you know, running around doing their own inquiries. Right. They would be using state power to do that. So I think that's kind of the only reason, but it's a great point. It's a great question. Right? There's all sorts of other state statutes that I would guess have been violated by, uh, you know, killing senior citizens, but that would have to take place on a local, want to know, says couldn't find anything that Trump did wrong. So investigation done. There you go open and close. Thank you for that once now. Okay. Appreciate it. We got a couple more coming in before we wrap up here, we've got, be brave. Says my concern is that this will start happening. Again, feel fear. 2021 version. They have to get those death numbers up. Remember that scoreboard, the death scoreboard that you saw everywhere. You went on Washington post and New York, uh, desk desk, desk, desk, uh, Dean more desks, or does every time we crossed the number that had several zeros at the end of it, everybody was just very excited about that. Hey, so when you, when you have that environment, you start to sort of wonder, what are we incentivizing here, right? Why are we running up the, the cost scoreboard? This is not, this is not good. And, um, is because all of the bad news that you could jam in the current administration back then was, was beneficial. So they had no problem doing that. And as soon as the election shifted, guess what happened? The scoreboards changed. We got the vaccine, coincidentally, right, right after the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were vaccinated before the turn of the year in December. And then after that, the scoreboard went away. The death count, kill scoreboard, went away. And guess what? We got the vaccine scoreboard. We just changed. It went from the red, the charts of death into the green vaccinations of life. And it was all just orchestrated right in front of our eyes. Very, very perfect timing was perfect. And that's why I have a lot of concerns about our government and their response to COVID in particular, a couple more questions. I think this is the last one we got Larry 1944 says things can be done to stop the Marxists, read mark Levin's book, American Marxism. And I like mark Levin. You know, he's a lawyer, he's written a lot of good stuff on some of the, uh, some of the legal concepts. And, uh, I would recommend that. I actually think I have that book sitting on my coffee table in that next room over there, but I have not opened it. Actually. Somebody brought me that book, somebody who watches the show, brought me that book brought me several of mark Levin's books. And they're sitting on my coffee table. Thank you to whoever that was. Um, maybe that was you Larry. Anyways, I appreciate all of those great questions and comments. Let's take a quick look and just give some shout outs over to some people over on YouTube.

Eastern time, we talked about a lot of stuff and we talked about, you know, sort of the direction of the show and, uh, people gave me some really great ideas and some good feedback. And, you know, I sort of w was communicating my, my finally getting settled down a little bit, right? If you've been following the show for some time, you know, the studio has changed like two or three times, especially in the last year, it's changed probably three or four time, four or five times maybe. And so this is kind of going to be the home base for the foreseeable future. And you can see that stuff is getting settled in a little bit. And I'm really looking forward to that because then it's going to free up my time to stop, you know, moving bookshelves around and painting walls and patching dry wall and all of that so that I can focus on what I really am passionate about, which is creating more content. We've got some awesome projects that are in the works, working with some other people, uh, you know, throughout our community who are helping me sift through some ideas. And so having a lot of fun, and I'm really excited about where this is going. So, uh, we're gonna have our next one Saturday, June 20, I'm sorry. August 28th, 2021, seven to 8:00 PM.
