 Daniel Larson is a man who needs no introduction to those familiar with my channel, or the darker corners of internet vein. His story, a complex saga of mental health struggles, internet notoriety, and controversial incidents has captivated and alarmed viewers all across the world. I am Kusari, the creator of this docu-series, and a YouTuber who specializes in uncovering and presenting intricate and complex stories like Daniel's. My goal with this series has been to provide a detailed, unbiased, and comprehensive view of his life's journey, which continues to unfold in unexpected and often disturbing ways. In this third installment, we delve deeper into the ever-evolving narrative of Daniel Larson. From dramatic public meltdowns to legal challenges and persistent online controversies, Daniel's journey remains as turbulent as ever. We will explore the latest developments in his life, including his ongoing battles with mental health, housing instability, the legal system, and the complex relationship with his followers and the public. In the first part of this series, the Daniel Larson documentary, we trace Daniel's troubled beginnings. Born into a challenging environment, he faced a rough childhood marked by unfortunate family dynamics and the early onset of mental health issues. His ambitions in music and acting were quickly overshadowed by erratic behaviors and a burgeoning online presence, which quickly garnered fascination and concern from the worldwide web. The beginnings of Daniel's story involved his foray into social media, particularly TikTok, where his strange content rapidly attracted a significant following. This period of his life was riddled with many troubling incidents, including inappropriate online activities and allegations of sexual misconduct, particularly towards minors. His responses to these accusations were often contradictory, suggesting either manipulation by others or attempts to deflect blame. He also during this time started showing an uncomfortable but rather notorious fixation and obsession with the singer-songwriter and America's Got Talent winner, Grace Vanderwall. Part two picked up the thread of Daniel's journey as he embarked on a cross-country odyssey. His travels from Arizona to Texas and eventually to New York City were loaded with financial difficulties, bizarre encounters, and moments of distress and violence. NYC also introduced interactions with other internet personalities like Joshua Block and Michael Quinn, further complicating Daniel's already chaotic story. His return to Colorado was particularly turbulent, featuring incidents like the dog arc, which culminated in a physical confrontation and subsequent involvement with law enforcement. This particular chapter in Daniel's life was a roller coaster of public meltdowns, confrontations, and troubling behavior, illustrating his ongoing battle with mental health and the pressures of internet infamy. Before we dive deeper into Daniel Larson's story in this third installment, I must issue a trigger warning. I know many of you like to complain about my usage of trigger warnings in the beginning of my videos, but the truth of the matter is that Daniel's story by nature is extremely disturbing. Throughout this series, we have encountered and will continue to encounter themes, topics, events, and imagery that may be upsetting or triggering to some viewers. These include mental health issues, homelessness, allegations of sexual misconduct, and incidents of violence and disturbing behavior. If you are sensitive to any of these things or are under the age of 18, your discretion is strongly advised. So with all of that said, let's embark on the next chapter of the Daniel Larson documentary. As we delve into the more recent developments in his life and continue to unravel the enigma that is Daniel Larson, this is part three. On July 13th, a voicemail with a distinct, medicated tone was left by Daniel, presumably for his manager Warren from the mental health hospital he was staying at. This message, shared by Flexburger on the Daniel Larson subreddit, had Daniel updating his status and discussing his discharge process. I just wanted to let you know that I put in a request so you can be able to call me and get updates on the progress of my discharge and the progress summary if you really want that information. In the meantime, I just wanted to call and let you know that. Anyways, phones do get cut off at 10pm and they do turn back on in the morning, so I will call you again tomorrow. If you are getting this message, I will give you a call back tomorrow. Bye. By July 19th, Daniel had been discharged from the mental health unit, and upon release he revealed his ongoing search for his missing dog and his intention to take legal action against the alleged dognapper. He then uploaded a video titled, Proof Daniel Larson Can Take Care of a Dog, where he is seen simply giving water to his former dog music. Despite unverified claims about re-acquiring music, it appeared unlikely that he would adopt any animal in Longmont, Colorado ever again. This period also saw Daniel claiming to have bought another dog and considering purchasing a cat. However, his videos contradicted these claims, leading local animal shelters to be advised against allowing him to adopt any animals, thus marking the end of the dog arc, and hopefully any future arcs involving any sort of animal. On July 20th, Daniel encountered trolls posing as members of a fictitious security company, United Contractors of Cargielana, I'm sorry if I butchered that. They falsely informed him that music was taken by malicious Reddit moderators and that all of the trolling was orchestrated by the YouTuber Goaded Minds. Daniel recorded these interactions secretly and later uploaded the footage. Okay, I need to know like the website or like anything that I can look up. Mr. Brea, can you show me the website? Yes. What happened with music is you were actually trolled by very dangerous Reddit moderators. I'm aware of that. Do you mind if we go somewhere more private so we can discuss this? I'm not talking like down there. The furthest I can go is like right where the... That's perfect. Right where the umbrella is in, like right down there. So we don't want unaligned parties here. So I can go right here? Yes. What I say, Mr. Larson, it's quite the honor meeting you. I'm a personal fan of your work. Yes. We're very grateful to get your dog music to put it shortly into the mail where it is. Everything the Reddit has been saying is online. The Reddit brings you a fast to win. We actually sent you a message. I don't know if you saw it, but we actually currently are in your possession of the dog that there are very powerful people that are trying to steal from us. We are doing our best efforts to keep the dog secure. Right, Mr. Brea. Hello, Larson. So this is our company for the United Contractors of Pavilion, Inc. This is just a blurb about us. So basically what we are is we're agents sent to contact very high-profile people. Yes. Only the highest up, but the highest up. Yes, and we offer a multitude of services, ranging from security to music production to great regular construction. Many, many different things. We work with all sorts of high-profile. We've worked with some of the most powerful people in the government. Do you guys have like a phone number or anything? Like a way of contacting? Yes, phone numbers. We're very, very secure. If phone numbers are actually the reason that your phone got hacked, your dog was tracked. And also, do you want to know the reason why your dog was stolen from you? I would like to, yeah, if you know anything. Yes, we know. We have a good amount of information that we cannot disclose as of now because we're in a public place. Yes, this is a very public area. What troll was it that stole his dog? It was a troll. It was a female. Your dog? Yes, we know music. We are in possession of music right now. We have reason to believe that a troll on his goaded minds is behind the dog napkin. Yes. Because I know who did it and it was a female that took the dog. It was a woman. It was a woman. So, goaded minds has a network. Goaded minds actually has a network of people in a discord server dedicated to tracking you. And that's how they found the dog. Yes. And they found you. And we were able to put pressure on them to return the dog to us. But they're trying to steal it from us again, which is why we're contacting you today. And we actually, compared to explain this. So, we, because of what goaded minds has done, we have reason to believe that your phone, Mr. Larson, has been hacked or bugged by goaded minds. And that's how he was able to track you. So, we were sent here by our work order to provide you with a new de-hacked, unbugged phone. We do have reason to believe that your phone has been compromised by malicious individuals who are trying to hurt your reputation and, you know, all of everything surrounding you. We came here with an encrypted de-hacked phone. We want to provide you with, yes, if you want, switch it off with your phone so that we can de-hack you. I cannot do that. This actually has two other celebrity numbers on this phone that I cannot give up. We cannot do that. I cannot do that, sir. I'm aware of that. I don't have a discord on my phone at all. Like, I don't have discord as an app. I don't even, like, other than just my family numbers on this phone, there's no other numbers connected, nothing. Contract is stated that we were to give you this in exchange for your phone so that we can de-hack your phone and then bring it back to you. I, once again, I'm just not able to do that. Like, this has, like, my lawyer's numbers and all sorts of private information. I cannot get out. The answer would be no. I believe that our contract also stated that we were to provide you with security. I actually have somewhere else I got to go. I'm meeting up with family. So, with my family. So, like, I have somewhere else to go. That's why I was asking for a contact. Can we give you a contact? Um, okay. The next day, Daniel traveled to Glenwood Springs about 160 miles from Denver. On the 22nd, Daniel visited Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, sharing a video where he discussed being expelled from a hotel and the latest pose due to concerns of being doxxed. Okay, so someone called the police on me. Um, and I got trespassed from the hotel, Glenwood Springs, permanently trespassed. Um, somebody called the police on me, claimed that I had a, um, I was filming kids, is what they claimed after the police showed up. They didn't find anything and they cleared me. And, um, because the police were called to that location, they permanently trespassed me. So, um, I know the person who possibly called. I've been having issues with this person for a long time. And, um, we are working on a current lawsuit against him. Daniel resumed regular posting on his YouTube community tab, including claims that he was being blackmailed and sharing falsified tweets by the FBI claiming awareness of his pedophilia and warnings that they were searching for him. He posted repeatedly listing celebrities that he would have sex with in a clear breakdown and then threatened self-harm. On July 24th, the day after the YouTube community meltdown, Daniel uploaded a video with false claims about the FBI arresting Grace Vanderwall for her associations with him. Okay, this is a code silver. This is a code silver. Grace Vanderwall just had the FBI show up at her house. She is being taken into custody. She's literally being taken into custody right now. And the FBI is trying to find me to take me to Russia. This is confirmed. My assistant, Warren, is freaking out and he literally just said, like, what the actual fuck. Well, I was on the phone with him. Like, this is no joke. This is real. And anyone who's not believing this, this is insane. I am not a threat, and neither is Grace. And you guys are involving Grace in the middle of this. Hey, everyone. Alrighty. There's a current emergency going on. If you guys haven't seen my posts in the last two days, there, my popularity has really been on the rise. Yes, it is true. I am a politician. Yes, it is true that I am a singer-songwriter. I'm also an actor. And yes, it is true that I am, in fact, in contact with other celebrities. Fortunately, on my rise to fame, I have been manipulated numerous of times, framed and blackmailed, to post and say certain things and do certain things. That's all I can really say. I'm not going to go into extreme detail. There's no reason to. I'm going to keep this nice and simple. Yes, I am extremely popular, and I'm trying to get security. Yes, I have tried to contact security companies, law enforcement over popularity and death threats that I have been receiving numerous of times. Nobody shows up. Nobody cares. So, of course, as far as my safety, I have to do what I need to do to protect myself. I am not a threat. Hold on one second. I have to go. I am getting somebody is texting me with threats right now. My popularity, well, first of all, I can say that I think the nuclear air strike attack was fake. I think that that message was fake, that we were receiving. Also, what I know right now that's going on is I was manipulated into doing the Pinterest frame and blackmailed. It was getting death threats over it. People were showing up to my property where I was living and what's showing up on property. Oh, hi. Hi, buddy. Do you remember me? Yeah, it's been a long time. I know. How's it going? Well, I'm famous now. Yeah? Yeah. Tell me about it. So, I'm a singer-songwriter. I'm going to cause my workout here. Singer-songwriter. Yep. I have three songs now on the radio. Three songs? On the radio. What stations? Well, I don't know exactly what stations. I've been made in New York and I'm on iHeartRadio and I have my music on Spotify. Like, all distributions, everything. Okay. Yeah. It's been a while. What? All of you know. I'm 24. How are you living? I am currently homeless. Okay. But I am making it. And I'm going into studios, which is only making me more money. So, I'm pulling up and out. Okay. How'd you get over here? I took the train. Just coming to Thornton just was or was? Coming to Thornton. Where are you headed? I'm just heading to the, like, up north. Just kind of walking around right now. I heard your grandma died. Yes. That's hard. Yeah, it is. I was sad when I heard that too. I had a good relationship. Yeah. We were just talking about you the other day. Okay. Yeah. Well, thank you. Yeah. Nice seeing you. You two are going to be careful, right? Okay. So, yeah, back to what I was saying. I know that Joe Biden has gone public about terrorist threats towards me. I am also aware that all these, basically, my popularity is skyrocketing through the roof and getting to international level to where people are seeing my videos and posts. That's a good thing. The issue is if people are seeing one video, they're only seeing, like, they're only seeing part of the information. They're not seeing everything. And depending on the video, who knows if it's the truth. Okay. So guys, like I said before, you guys need to believe what I say. Okay. I'm not a threat. I hate it when people say that. I do need security protection. So I need protection. I'm not lying about that. I am not a pedophile. I never will ever in my life have sex with a child. So I don't care what the media says. I own up to my word. I am sick and tired of people threatening me, playing all these dumb games. Okay. Trying to frame me, it's ridiculous. Now, as far as the threats that I have made, that is only because I fear for my safety. I have called security companies. I have called numerous, I have called numerous times to 911 dispatch and police. Nobody has ever done anything. All they do is they trespass me because of my popularity. And they tell me to leave. And I'm sick and tired of playing that game. So I felt like I had to do what I needed to do to get my life, my situation heard. Two days later, Daniel live streamed from a gas station during a storm, seeking assistance from his manager, Warren. In the stream, he claimed a confrontation occurred with two individuals leading to an alleged assault. Okay. So today, when it was storming outside, hold on one second. So today, when it was storming outside. Okay. I went to the gas station to try to take shelter from the rain and the cloud to ground lightning. And during the time I was taking shelter, my phone was at 1% battery. So I tried to call my assistant to try to get protection and try to figure out a safety plan because of the storm. Okay. And I got, well, when I was on the phone with Warren, Warren heard everything. Okay. Why is my phone not blocking? Okay. Weird. My phone is for some reason not blocking some of the hateful comments. I wonder why. Strange. But like I said, I was getting harassed. Okay. The gas station, when I first got there, I plugged in my phone. Okay. So I get to the gas station. There's cloud of ground lightning around me. It's not really pouring rain, but it's sprinkling looks like it's going to pour rain. And I plugged my phone in at the gas station. I tried to call Warren, Warren answers and immediately there's two people that were at the gas station getting gas starts coming up to me and is like, do something kind of, you know, trying to cause a fight. And I'm like, I'm not, you know, basically I was, you know, telling them to stop. Okay. And before I put hands on anybody, the guy grabbed my throat like this and pushed me to the ground. And I was screaming on the phone, Warren heard it. He heard everything and he freaked out. He thought that I was either going to die or something very, very serious was going to happen. Okay. He also shared a TikTok video where he claimed responsibility for breaking a gas station window. This is because label doesn't mean and tells me to fuck Bob. I broke a gas station window with a rock. Additionally, he posted screenshots of disturbing messages from trolls disguised as celebrities and showcased a legal notice for a mandatory court appearance for destruction of private property worth up to $2,000. On July 27, 2023, a revealing conversation with Daniel's former caregiver shed light on his turbulent stay and the challenges he posed. People say that this conversation does get pretty disturbing. So if you guys want to back out now, here's the timestamp that you guys can skip to. But yeah, let's just dive right into it. The caregiver who only recently became aware of Daniel's online popularity through TikTok recalled the period between fall 2019 and spring of 2020 when Daniel resided in his home. He moved in fall of 2019 and he was kicked out spring of 2020. I didn't even know that he was like, TikTok quote unquote famous until last night. I saw like a random real of him in it. And I was like, what the hell came to my house because from what I understand, the last host home kicked him out because of just mass amounts of property damage. It's just like headbutting the walls, kicking the walls. I was told that he just doesn't do well with females and that with a male provider, he would be much better. I probably had about a good month and a half, two months and then just hell broke loose. I said the first couple months we call that a grace period when they kind of get settled in. They're like excited to stay with the new family or whatever. But yeah, I mean it was absolutely terrible. Kind of just putting a background first year before we get into the good shit. So what else also it's considered person centered services. It's different when they're an adult. You do not have the ability to like take their human rights away. So if he does not want to take meds, it doesn't have to take him if he's his own guardian, which he was. If he wants therapy, he has the right to have it. You can refuse employment. You can refuse it. It's difficult. So like when you're working with an individual like Daniel, who kind of has this delusional mindset of that, you know, he's going to be famous. All these people love him. He's a movie star, a singer. He's more focused on that and just throws away all of the opportunities that are presented to him to help his mental health. Yeah, and Bob, he enabled that. Yeah, he came over to the house multiple times. Honestly, like as a person, Bob's great. At least when I work with him, he's very pleasant. I mean, obviously he cared about Daniel's safety. He had absolutely no idea how to work with someone with a disability. I'm still trying to get, like I said, I just discovered this last night. So I'm still kind of watching all the videos, the documentaries and updates on Daniel, which has been extremely interesting to see. But I mean, yeah, like in the home, I advocated for him to get SMB therapy, which is therapy for individuals who age and like grooming potential like pedophiles or people who have like really bad sexual boundaries. I can tell you just with living with me, he was trying to groom all of my other individuals who were much less functioning than him. He kept trying, grooming is just, sorry, grooming is like, you know, manipulating them into like favors, like getting them things to get things in return. He was doing that a lot, like sexually grooming people, riding them. I was able to get cameras installed in the home, which is a very, very difficult restriction to get to the state. But because of Daniel's behaviors, you know, I was able to get it through. I also saw there was an instant, like a toothbrush. That honestly doesn't surprise me. So when he got kicked out of my house, he basically was arrested at my house for assaulting his roommate. I'd like restrain him and hold him on, hold him down on my front porch until police stopped there because they kept trying to bite me. Yeah, I have like a massive scar on my left forearm from him. But as far as like the toothbrush thing goes, when I had to clean his room out, I had found one of my used drumsticks that was all splintered and it was covered in shit. There were multiple phone cords that were also covered in shit. He had a Barbie doll that was covered in shit. Shut up. Yeah, I mean, he's a very sexualized individual. I've taken care of so many individuals like physical, like physically aggressive individuals, extremely like emotionally damaged individuals type of thing. To some extent, have some motivation to like do better for themselves. Daniel was the only one that didn't. Like everyone was a liar. Everyone was against him. I know him very well. You know, so Ryan lives with me still. Yes, I've had Ryan from the start has similar actual behaviors to Daniel. Ryan is in quite a side functioning and he doesn't understand his actions as much. Typically, Ryan will groom people, but Daniel kind of being more alpha in the sense that he has a little, you know, his IQ is a bit higher. You know, this is, you know, Daniel would groom him instead. And yeah, that was one of the individuals that I was talking about earlier, you know, that he kept grooming in the household. I mean, there are multiple times where I would wake up in the middle of the night because my cameras would go off and Daniel would try to sneak into Ryan's room. Yeah, it went back and forth, but with no doubt in my mind, Daniel kind of controlled that situation. Yeah, yeah, I mean, he always used the term his fans like, oh, my fans need to know what I'm doing or my fans are waiting for me. And that's why he refused to go in like day programs. They're kind of like a day rehabilitation center. He didn't want to engage in any of that because he was too devoted to, you know, his fans. He did smell absolutely terrible. He would never shower ever. And when he lived with me, he was really big into running. He would run as a day. He used to like 5k races and other stuff like that. He would run 10 miles and then just refuse to take a shower. And all I could smell was just sweat throughout my house. Yeah, I think when he lived with me, he maybe have taken three or four showers. And that was over the course of like I said, maybe eight months. We are certified. It's called NBCI Nonviolent Crisis Intervention. Basically, you can go hands-on with an individual like if they need to be restrained. Some agencies, they're hands-off. I don't know how that would ever work with Daniel. But I mean, there were some weeks where I was restraining him multiple times a day. And I had restrained him because he was hurting himself. He would bash his head in the well so much. Yeah, just bleeding from his face. I mean, once I'm going to take him to the hospital, he was doing it so hard. He would literally start bleeding from like one of his eyelids. I try not to call the cops in my home. Some providers, they basically have nonviolent skin dial. I only call like when it's truly out of my control. I think you only call the cops them twice. Most of the time, it truly was like, for example, he was obsessed with mac and cheese. If we no longer had mac and cheese, I had to make him something else. He could become extremely escalated and just start like, picking over and over and over again, holding all the walls. That's kind of the farthest extent it came. Sometimes he would be mad at me again for any like the most pointless things. Like anything that's just an inconvenience to him, he would get frustrated. I mean, yeah, like every day just like he would get frustrated. I'd have to restrain him. Then he'd get pissed and like basically run away for a couple of hours, go for a run, come back, then he'd spend the night in his room. Then the next day we wake up and everything seemed like, you know, like nothing happened. And then later that night, it happened again. You know, I guess one time he went ballistic, hit his head in the wall. He took one of my kitchen chairs, threw it across the room at another roommate. As I was trying to grab him, I'll just protect myself and everyone else around him and himself. And then he went to try grabbing one of the kitchen knives. And that was pretty scary. You had to like hold him on the ground because he kept saying that he was going to kill me. And then shortly after that, then he had a sharp restriction. So I was not allowed to have any sharp. I can have knives. They can even have forks out in the open. Everything had to be locked in my house. You know, I guess I was kind of like on that silence or like the people out there. It's like you shouldn't judge him like our system's so broken. We need to help these people. It's like there's issues in the system. But like Colorado specifically as I would say it's the leading state as far as taking care of individuals, disabilities, the services that are offered in Colorado are far better than any other state. Yeah. So it's like for some of these people saying like the system failed him. That's no. And it's it's a very like I look at so many individuals. It's so hard to get to the point where Daniel is. I mean, actually one big incident. I've had quite a bit of memory of this. The biggest incident I had with him that really emotionally like just enraged me. And I was pretty like it. Yeah. At the time it was maybe two years old. And then it was there. We tried having sex with my cat. Yeah. His roommate reported to me. Yeah. So the roommate walked in his room. Yeah. And luckily the roommate loves my cat and like actually took care of him. So when he saw that he freaked out and my room got me. I went in there. Daniel was like putting on his clothes and like the cat was there. So like, I mean, I didn't see it happen, but I would have no reason. His roommate would have no reason to make that type of allegation. You know how the cat was in his room, which it shouldn't have been. I mean, it's how he's putting clothes on. I mean, I would have to assume it was, you know, that's what happened. Yeah. Like at my house, the role was I didn't want my cat in either of the rooms. The same day that this phone conversation was posted, Daniel uploaded an almost 13 minute long video to his YouTube channel of him having yet another argument with Bob in his car while he was driving. The perplexing video posted on his YouTube channel was titled New Corruption with the Law. The video featured an intense discussion between Daniel and Bob Proctor with the context of their conversation remaining somewhat ambiguous. They delved into various topics, including their personal relationship, Grace Vanderwall, Jacob Satorius, and other figures within the so-called Larsonverse. The conversation was seemingly prompted by a deep fake image of a new Jacob Satorius that Daniel had supposedly received via text. If we go back up there, I don't want to hear you say that I shouldn't have bought it with my own money. You just seem very controlling as if you are like my guardian all of a sudden and you've been acting that way. It's my money. I could do what I want. Yeah, that's fine. If I wanted this particular phone plan because it's better for my phone, then I will do this phone plan, okay? Do you want to listen to anything I say? You want? Well, I do listen to you. You just don't want to listen to me. You're telling me that Grace should already be here in Colorado. I don't want to have anything to do with Grace. I can't tell you anything. And I said okay at the time. But you can't tell me. Because we thought that it would be better. My assistant and I thought it would be better if we made a group chat. So we made the group chat. It doesn't have anything to do with them. And I'm sorry about the recording studio getting canceled. I'm sorry. But I don't know who did it. Yes, you do? No, I don't. Sagittarius or whatever his name is. Because he had her phone like he's had it every time. It's Jacob Sartorius. Dick Musselman. Okay, you just pissed me off. Well, what else is he? You would have been more understanding if we would have just got, like actually gotten everything done. But I've been sitting here arguing almost every day with you. Like this is our normal conversations. I tried to get you into the studio. I understand that. Maybe I should just go to the hospital with you. We could both turn ourselves in because you were hitting yourself and I was earlier. Maybe we should both go in now. This is why I don't get something anything done anymore. It's because I'm sitting here arguing with you. I'm driving. What do you want me to do instead? Well, we just have a normal fucking conversation for once without arguing. And for you to actually understand my choices are my life and my choices. They are. It's worked out swell. Oh my God. I understand that. And I understand that you're partially upset that Jacob and Grace never came to Colorado and that she apparently lied to me. I'm sorry. Sorry about everything. I'm sorry I'm alive. I saw you hitting yourself. So if you want to do that some more, go right ahead. Get it out while you can. I'm sorry I'm alive too. Get it out while you can because I don't want to be around you if you're going to act this way. Literally ever since you picked me up at Union Station, this is all it's been. And I was calm. You're the one who literally just started going like, I'm going to hit myself after we buy the phone. I'm the one with the fucking money. I'm the one buying the goddamn phone. Why? You literally got angry in there. You hit yourself in the fucking store. I'm surprised the store security didn't get involved. Holy crap. I understand that, but you need to listen to me and calm down. I told you that you need to just talk to the label and actually express yourself for once. Let them know you're concerned because everything would have worked out better. I'm sorry that I fucking suck I'm sorry I have a small fucking dick. You don't have a small. Well, you were just as big on there. Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I guess we're going to be arguing now for the rest of our lives because you hate me and I hate your attitude for you to tell me to buy a different phone plan that literally has less gig bites. It didn't. It did. Why did my old phone just randomly stop working? Exactly. Well, I just called you out too. This deal is only available at Walmart. It's a Walmart deal. I understand that. That's not my problem. Why are we using Walmart and not actually going to a store and buying a more expensive phone too? Well, that's what you said you wanted to go. Well, I mean, I understand that. But we've been using family mobile we've been using all these prepaid phones and all these cheaper phones. So I guess it is what it is. We don't have the money right now to just keep blowing it on things. That's why we've kept buying these cheaper phones. And we keep messing up with all these stupid liars. Every time you would have musted another irregular phone it would have cost you three or four hundred dollars. And that's my fault. And I take the blame for it. But the real reason, as we know, is we get in arguments over grace and the label and how we're doing things. And I guess that's my fault too. But it's my life. And if I want to do it a certain way, you know, I want to have say. So I guess we're both equal. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry you're involved and I'm sorry that this is not working out and everything is all fucked up now. But I'm sorry that you're blaming yourself. I really am. I never said that. And that's the thing that I don't understand is you're so stubborn. Like I was saying, you always think that, like, other things is your fault. And when I say it's not, you don't want to move on. And then we come back around and you say, well, you caused the problem with grace. You caused the problem with the label. And it's because we were both working together in booking the recording studio sessions. And the label wanted it done faster. And I was trying to do that. I remember calling you up almost every day talking to you about it. Five minutes and I'd say, let's do it and you'd say, oh no, I gotta go. And then it would be three days later. That's because Warren or, of course, the label messages me getting upset about timeframes. And then I call you back after. Nope, there's where we have the problem. You don't call me back. I call you back the next day. Or two days, three days later. I say, let's do it. I say, okay. But still, I mean, I'm busy trying to sort other things out like my fucking homeless life. No, like, you know, I also had to deal with Grace being upset, you know. And of course now Jacob Sartorius and her issue with him, you know. And then we're arguing about it because you're like, Grace should have been here in Denver already. Yes, you said, hold on, hold on. Hold on. Because you're changing my words. I said how many times has she promised to be here? And she's never sure. Exactly. That's not what I'm saying she should have been here. Well, that kind of is. If she said she was going to be all the time she should have been here. Exactly. Okay. I'm sorry that she didn't own up to her word. If I'd have told you tonight that I wasn't coming to get you and just hadn't showed up, what would have that been? If I had last night, I spent an hour and a half looking for you. I'm sorry. And I'm sorry we keep busting our money out on hotel rooms as well. When we should have been putting it towards more important things like the apartment or like more permanent housing. I'm sorry. And like I'm trying to be calm and I'm trying to like really be honest with you. Okay. And I understand that you also booked the three I mean the three days in the motel and that's my fault. We should have saved that money. Okay. But we didn't. And you needed a place to stay and it was raining and you need to have a bed to sleep in once in a while. I know. And that's where most of my money was going. Yeah. I understand. You're going to do anything? Yes we are. Okay. But I also understand that you know I also know that if I get back into disability housing or resources they won't want me on social media. I know. And that's also why I didn't want to do that at the time. I wanted the apartment. Okay. All right. Are you calm now? And have we talked about everything that we need to talk about? Yeah. All right. Just get the phone for you. Okay. Or return it and go to an AT&T store. Okay. Go to Target. Yes I know. So we're going to need all the packages. Yeah. Let's go. The story continued when on July 28th Daniel once again admitted a pedophilia in two videos. Following these confessions his TikTok account was banned. On July 29th during a TikTok live stream Jacob Sartorius was asked about Daniel. He appeared unsure of who Daniel was describing him as quote unquote I think that's like a TikToker pretty much showing a lackluster understanding of him and even calling him his fan at one point. You can ask. I don't care. Daniel Larson? I think that's like a TikToker pretty much but I think it's somebody that like calls me out in all their videos or something. Yeah. So I do know them. Yeah I do know them. It's all right. He's just a fan. What happened? He's a fan. It's fine. What can we do? He had something against. On the first day of August Daniel shared a revealing post on his community tab featuring a screenshot of a text conversation. In this exchange the other party expressed discomfort at being referred to by a racial slur presumably used by Daniel. This individual also brought up Daniel's history of violent outbursts and property damage often occurring during his meltdowns. The conversation concluded with this person severing their association with Daniel citing the toxic environment fostered by his quote unquote fans. Furthermore Daniel uploaded three screenshots of different individuals seemingly children with two labeled past management and the third as quote unquote one of my past managers. August 3rd once again brought Jacob Sertorius into the mix as he addressed questions about an alleged feud with Daniel during a TikTok live. Jacob clarified having no issues with Daniel and seemed perplexed about his involvement in Daniel's controversies. He also mentioned having watched some of Daniel's videos. Yeah. I have nothing against Daniel. And that's about it. It's like I see all these. I don't know any context. I see all the comments. Trust me. I will not be fighting Daniel Larson. I mean I know who Daniel Larson is but I have no idea what the context of him related to. Did he call you out or something and ask you to fight him? I don't know. The lag is crazy. It just took you 10 seconds to go. I don't know after I asked that. I don't know what's really going on. All I know is that it's all love on this side. And that's about it, you know? I'm about just as confused as you, Madison. You at least know your name though, right? See that is part of the drama. I think he's saying something about Grace Vanderwaal and I don't have any connection to Grace Vanderwaal. Never have spoken to her so that's why it's a little bit confusing. But it's all love, like I said. And I wish him the best. It's the craziest thing. Like we know of each other all, but I don't know. It's all love on this side, guys. I'll address it because there's no drama. Let's go. Can I be honest with you, bro? Dude, be as honest as you want to be. Show me! I hate when people do this to me. But I'm a huge fan of this guy. I'm a huge fan of this guy. And I saw a video with you about him. What's the Daniel Larson shit? Look, I've said it multiple times on live before. I know Daniel Larson. I've seen his videos. I don't know what problem he has with me. And like I said, yeah. But look, I don't have any beef with him, man. It's all love from my end. I don't know how I got brought into this. Or I don't know the people that are all in this love from my side. And I don't know, man. I know who you're talking about. I've seen his videos. He's very viral. But dude, it's confusing to me, bro. I don't know how I got even... Do you watch? A few days later on August 6th, significant developments occurred. Daniel released a video claiming Grace Van der Waal would accompany him to court, suggesting his arrest was imminent if she failed to show up. So at the next court date, apparently Grace Van der Waal has to show up to the court because they're not believing that I'm in contact. The court is not believing me. So apparently I'm in big trouble. And if Grace doesn't show up, I could be arrested. Additionally, a nearly 28-minute video surfaced capturing a confrontation between Daniel and a security guard at a mall. The mall, well aware of Daniel's history, repeatedly requested Daniel leave due to his habit of sleeping in public areas. Daniel was eventually handed a notice and escorted off the property, claiming he was banned from an area around Colorado Mills. On August 8th, Daniel declared that he was banned from Smashburger following a confrontation with the manager, subsequently ranting about teenagers being employed as managers. Okay, everyone. So we have a serious issue. Businesses are now doing hate crimes on me. I have been banned today, like, permanently lifetime banned from the fast food restaurant, Smashburger. The reason being is my phone was about dead, so I needed to go charge my phone to call family because of a bank account issue. Okay, so I walk into Smashburger and I ask the front desk, the cashier, if I can get a cup of ice water. They give me the cup of ice water. I say, give me one minute. I'm gonna come back up. I'm going to order. I go sit down. Well, first of all, I go refill my cup of water. I go sit down. And within seconds, the manager comes over and says, you can't be in here. And asks me to leave. I say, why can't I be inside here? I haven't done anything. By that point, everybody in the store starts staring, trying to figure out what's going on. And the manager says, we've seen your social media, and because of that, we don't want you here. That was their excuse, and they asked me to leave. So I get up and I say, I didn't do anything. If you guys are going to ban me, call the police, send paperwork, show paperwork. They refused, and they try to put hands on me. By that point, I get up and I forcefully back up, and I walk out the door. So apparently I am banned from Smashburger now, so another boy caught. I want everyone to not go to Smashburger. I can't believe this, but people don't know how to hire for jobs. I've noticed that out of all the places that I'm getting banned, ornamentally banned from, it's all criminal teenagers that are managers. People are graduating high school, zero college, and their very first job they apply for is like literally, you know, like a fast food restaurant, and they apply to be general manager. I think that that is straight up absurd. Mid-August witnessed a whirlwind of activity from Daniel. On the 15th, Daniel disposed of his Panda Express dinner into a river and spent nearly $500 on sex toys. His cameo account was suspended on August 16th, leading him to accuse trolls and warren of reporting him. That same day, a flight he had scheduled to New York City was canceled after he leaked his confirmation number as well as his phone number. By August 21st, he was discovered sleeping under a bridge and falsely claimed to have a court date. The 22nd was marked by even more alarming behavior, with Daniel threatening to plant bombs in a park during a live video. I have it gone. You're not at my location, and if you do put me at gunpoint, like I said, I've hidden bombs at this park. You will blow up. Don't play around. In a more alarming turn, he issued a threat to bomb Bob Proctor's house unless he received millions of dollars. His mental state appeared increasingly unstable as he hinted at thoughts of self-harm on his community tab. Adding to his troubles, Daniel received ominous text messages from an anonymous number, warning him of surveillance and threatening to shut down his cash app account. Submit this turmoil, he was seen traveling on a bus and contemplated checking into a mental health facility troubled by the content on his subreddit. August 25th unfolded with drama. Daniel experienced a minor meltdown using offensive language after narrowly avoiding an accident involving a car or a bike. This incident was shared on his Instagram by an unidentified source. However, it was more than likely his management. You fucking bitch! You fucking see me walking here? He claimed to have witnessed a teenage girl conversing with five boys about engaging in sexual activities and was seen drinking an airhead-flavored beverage. Spotted at Union Station, he made several alarming claims. A fictional man named Tyrone's released from prison and intent to harm both him and Grace Vanderwall, financial struggles including having no meals and needing $10,000 and revealing a near miss with a vehicle or a bike. On August 27th, Daniel's actions escalated further. He posted a disturbing two-minute video of himself harming and using racial slurs, which he quickly deleted. On August 29th, Daniel's circumstances took a grim turn. With no funds to his name, he spent the night on the streets of Denver. During this time overwhelmed by frustration, Daniel lashed out by breaking yet another window of an unspecified establishment. As the morning light dawned, Daniel's turmoil continued. His mental state deteriorated further as he expressed suicidal thoughts, provoked by a fake grace on kick who accused him of being a pedophile. This led to one of Daniel's most violent and mentally debilitating meltdowns of 2023, primarily unfolding on his YouTube community page. This meltdown was triggered by threats from the fake Grace Vanderwall and his harrowing night on the streets. During a YouTube live stream, Daniel's condition was starkly evident. I will always hate her now because of what she did. And, yes, I will bomb the White House. I will fucking bomb the White House. I will fucking bomb every single police station in the entire U.S. And Grace told me to make this video. His threats escalated to alarming proportions as he threatened to kill Beyonce, commit suicide, and even bomb the White House alongside threats against the U.S. government, all police stations, and Columbia Records. His erratic behavior included using racial slurs against his manager Warren, attempting to dox-grace Vanderwall, and claiming that bombs were dropped on Grace's house in Russia. In a shocking twist, he even threatened to kill Grace himself and attempted to contact Tina Vanderwall. Amidst this chaos, Daniel sought to remove his nudes from the internet and texted a screenshot of his conversation to 911. As August drew to a close, Daniel's situation remained volatile. His tensions peaked when Daniel and Bob Proctor engaged in a physical altercation inside Bob's car following a verbal argument. The incident led to an interaction with the police, and Daniel claimed that Bob had quote-unquote run him over with his car. The altercation began with Daniel arguing with Bob after being told not to use his phone in Bob's presence. Daniel protested insisting it was his legal right to bring his phone to dinner and accused Bob of causing issues and being unhelpful. The argument escalated as Bob demanded Daniel turn off his phone and place it in the car's console. Daniel refused asserting his right to film for his own protection, which he deemed necessary for the ridiculous situation. A heated exchange ensued, culminating in Bob forcefully ejecting Daniel from his car, leading Daniel to accuse Bob of running him over an allegation that remains unverified and likely untrue. So I wasn't going to film, but since you have a problem with me bringing my phone in the car, okay, now I'm going to film because that's my legal right. Okay? So you're causing this issue to yourself. You are literally causing this issue to yourself. And I guess I will go without fucking dinner now because you have a problem with me even bringing my phone with me, which is my fucking legal right. You are crazy. You are never helpful anymore. All you do is cause issues. You told me not to be on the phone in the car. I wasn't. I said turn off your phone and put it in the console and you said yes. I'm not going to put it in the console, but I will be more than happy to stay off my phone and turn it off. You had a problem with me like literally having it on my seat. The phone was literally turned off. Okay? I just turned it on to film this because you had a problem with that. I'm now filming for my protection. This is ridiculous. You are so stubborn like I was saying before. So are we going to get dinner? Or are you taking me back to the motel and I'm just going to not have anything for dinner? And I'm not going to eat today at all. And I guess I'll starve tonight. So what is it? Get out. Fucking grab me. You want me to break your fucking arm? If you break my arm. Get the fuck out of my car. Okay, then let go of me, fucker. If you fucking hit me, girl. Holy fuck. Where did my phone go? Where did my fucking phone go? Oh, you are hitting me. You're hitting me. God damn you. You hit me first, bitch. Get out of my car. You hit me first. I'm not playing these games with you. Holy fucking hell, bitch. Don't grab my car. You hit me, fucker. Find it. Where did he go? Where the fuck did he go? Where the fuck did he go? Get away from my car. Fucker. Following this incident, Daniel made a community post announcing his intention to call 911. He subsequently filmed yet another video at the motel, displaying aggressive and self-destructive behavior while reiterating his claim that Bob had run him over. Bob, Bob just ran me over with his fucking car. Bob just ran me over with his fucking car. Bob just ran me over with his car. Bob just ran me over. Bob just ran me over. Bob just ran me over with his car. My fucking phone hurts. On his community tab, he claimed fear of Bob, expressed a desire for justice, and announced filing a restraining order against him. Daniel also claimed he was returning to the same mental hospital that had previously medicated him, asserting self-defense in his altercation with Bob and yearning for peace and resolution. He further claimed that Bob had violated his rights without elaborating on the specifics. As the day ended, Daniel streamed a conversation with the police, during which he gave a mostly truthful account of the encounter, albeit with several false claims. The uncertainty surrounding any charges filed against Bob lingered, as it appeared none were made despite Daniel's police report. The final days of August encapsulated a harrowing chapter in Daniel's life, marked by extreme volatility and distress. On September 6th, Daniel started his day with breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts, and he excitedly announced a new chapter in his life, hinting at upcoming content for his audience. September 7th saw Daniel post two angry messages on his community tab, which were swiftly deleted, not before being captured and shared on the Daniel Larson subreddit. He continued to post threatening messages, seemingly seeking attention amid his aggravation. Daniel shared a video about his trench foot, claiming it was incurable and blaming Bob for it, while demanding compensation. September 9th witnessed an escalation in Daniel's behavior. He threatened self-harm in a message to someone believed to be a troll, and asked for call. He stated his intention to quit the music industry if more AI covers using his voice were created. Daniel shared a picture of himself being recognized by someone and responded to a YouTube comment, likely from a person attempting to assist him. After consuming a sandpilla grino during a live stream, he faked being drunk. He claimed to be scammed and stranded until his next paycheck, discussed arson against a mental hospital for pressuring him to collaborate with Bob Proctor, and claimed to have been sexually harassed. He, surprisingly enough, ended the day at Folsom Field, the football field for the Colorado Buffaloes. On September 10th, Daniel threatened to kill Bob if he discovered Grace Vanderwaal was unfaithful. He claimed to have been employed and then fired by Uber Eats, created and then had a PayPal account suspended, and then set up a new Cash App account. He also stated he was $100 in debt and planned to enroll at CU Boulder in 2024. September 11th was another eventful day, not for the reasons you might be thinking, with Daniel claimed to have established yet another YouTube channel and announcing his college enrollment plans. He attended Colorado University in a frat party where he was photographed by fans. September 12th culminated with Nathan, a member of the Pi Capitao fraternity, sharing videos on TikTok of Daniel holding a fraternity shirt, adding yet another chapter to Daniel's unpredictable story. On the 13th, Daniel was filmed at the Taco Junkie Tequila Bar with Pi Capitao members. A notable moment was captured when he kissed a woman's cheek, his first recorded intimate interaction with a woman who is of age. On September 14th, videos shared by user ClearValue6404 on Reddit depicted Daniel's interactions, including an attempt at bench pressing, an interview with trolls, and a dorm tour where he was mocked. On September 12th, Daniel was filmed at the Taco Junkie Tequila Bar with Pi Capitao members. On September 12th, Daniel was filmed at the Taco Junkie Tequila Bar with Daniel holding a fraternity shirt, adding yet another chapter to Daniel's unpredictable story. Daniel also uploaded an interview at Panera Bread with a man named Dylan, discussing his ambitions and controversial views on international conflict resolution. September 16th brought even more drama to the table. Daniel was seen near Folsom Field yet again, later claiming on his community tab to have been removed by security. It turned out that he was actually arrested for third degree assault after an altercation with the security guard at Folsom Field with the intention to meet Dion Sanders on stage. Videos of his arrest appeared on Reddit, showing him restrained and escorted by police. Reddit Post confirmed his jailbooking and Colorado Law indicated a potential 18 month prison sentence for third degree assault. On the 18th, a Boulder County Jail live stream was terminated early due to inappropriate behavior by some attendees. I'm going to expel someone named Warren from the WebEx. Excuse Mr. Sassa for disrupting court. Expel him from court as well. Mr. Rosenback, have you had a chance to talk to Mr. Larson yet? Okay, he has an audience that is chiming in on WebEx. So I'm going to ask if you have a chance to talk to him so we can get things moving along. Okay. You all done, Mr. Larson? Okay. We'll call Mr. Larson's case and then we'll call, is it the Kyle Matter? Call the Kyle Matter. Mr. Larson, come on up. Mr. Larson, your case is 23M1704, people versus Daniel Larson and Mr. Larson, your present. Out of custody and on bond, Mr. Rosenback is here for the people. Mr. Larson, did you hear all that? I did, Your Honor. And is that how you want to resolve your case today? Is you'll plead guilty to an added count, count three of attempted third degree assault. It's a class two misdemeanor. I placed you on 12 months of probation, ordered 12 hours, 48 hours of community service, anger management classes and a fine, do you understand that? I understand that. Okay. Was anything promised to you other than from what I stated out here in open court just now? No, Your Honor. Are you thinking clearly today? Yes. Are you under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that would affect your ability to understand what's going on? No, Your Honor. And I've also, Mr. Larson, been handed this Rule 11 advisement form. This is a form that details the constitutional trial rights that you give up by pleading guilty. Did you read through this form? I did. And do you understand this? Yes. I'm going to briefly go over your constitutional trial rights with you. I want to make sure you understand you don't have to plead guilty just because you've been made an offer. You have a right to a speedy and a public jury trial. Now, if you go to that speedy and public jury trial, you'd have a right to, you'd be presumed innocent throughout the entire proceedings, and the only way you could be found guilty is if the district attorney was able to prove to the jury's satisfaction beyond a reasonable doubt you were guilty. Now, at that trial, you'd have a right to an attorney. If you couldn't afford an attorney, I would appoint one to represent you. Your attorney would be able to cross-examine and challenge all the DA's witnesses, would be able to subpoena witnesses to court, even if they did not want to come to court. And then you could testify in your own defense. Now, Mr. Larson, if you chose not to testify, if you decided to remain silent, I would instruct the jury. They couldn't hold that decision not to testify that right to silence against you. Do you understand that? I understand. If you went to trial and lost, you'd have a right to an appeal. When you plead guilty like you're doing right now, you waive or give up those constitutional trial rights. I understand. Do you have any questions for me about your constitutional trial rights? No, Your Honor. Is anybody threatening you, pressuring you, or coercing you to get you to waive your constitutional trial rights and plead guilty? No, Your Honor. You were pleading guilty to attempted third-degree assault. Attempt is a violation of 18-2-101 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Third-degree assault is a violation of 18-3-204 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Class-2 misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of 120 days in jail and a $750 fine. Do you understand that? I understand. Do you have any questions for me about your constitutional rights, the charge you're pleading guilty to, or the maximum penalty here? No, Your Honor. Mr. Larson, to the charge of attempted third-degree assault to Class-2 misdemeanor, how do you plead guilty or not guilty? Guilty. I will accept your guilty plea in looking at your demeanor here in court, Mr. Larson, and your responsiveness to my questions. I am going to find that your guilty plea is knowing, voluntary and intelligent, that it is free from threatened coercion and that you understand the maximum penalties and the elements of this charge. I will dismiss permanently counts one and two and to reconviction only on the added count three and regarding sentencing and a factual basis. And I am familiar with the facts of this case. Mr. Rosenback, that took place at Folsom Field, what do you want to tell me? I don't have too much to add. Okay. And I just want to make clear, I did say, I don't know if there is a restitution to be reserved, but I did reserve restitution. Okay, I see that. Thank you. I will find there's a factual basis for the plea. Now, Mr. Larson, you don't have to say anything to me, but this is your formal sentencing hearing. Is there anything you want to tell me? Yes, Your Honor. Go ahead. During the day of the situation, I didn't want to hurt anyone or cause any major issues. I was supposed to be at the event and I was told by security that I had to leave and I was supposed to be working hands-on at the event, but I was never given the VIP pass to get through first. Okay. And so there was like a complete miscommunication and I panicked. And when the security card came up to me and told me to leave and I refused trying to explain, the security guard tried to put hands on me to remove me and that is when I put my hands up and he took that as assault and that's what led to my arrest. Okay. In the future, Mr. Larson, even if someone has a misunderstanding or you have an expectation of what's supposed to happen, you're not allowed to put your hands on people. I understand, Your Honor. All right. Well, hopefully you'll get something out of this probation, but for the next 12 months, you have that 120 days of jail hanging over your head. I will order 48 hours of community service, no weapons. The mandatory protection order continues. I will order an anger management evaluation and any treatment that they recommend and I'm going to continue with the condition of stay away from Folsom Field. It'll take a few minutes and we'll give you information on that probation, where to check in with probation and the clerk. Do you have any other questions for me? I do. Okay, go ahead. Since Folsom Field is a part of the CU University campus, do I have to stay away from the entire campus or could I just Folsom Field? So if I wanted to, I can reapply for college? Absolutely. Okay. Thank you, Your Honor. All right, good luck to you. After his release on September 19th, Daniel resumed posting and went live during a bus ride where he was recognized. He explained his arrest to a fan in the live audience, alleging misuse of his fan base by security guards and a misunderstanding about his student status. Thank you, Your Honor. You're welcome. Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you, Your Honor. Thank you, Your Honor. Man, yeah. That's where you headed to, right? I'm headed back to Denver, yeah. Sounds like you like it, you bet. I like it. Bad. Well, I was supposed to be working at the CU Game this weekend. And from my understanding, somebody, someone at school called the security on me and then claimed that I was causing a scene when I clearly wasn't and then the security told me that I had to leave the school campus the school campus, but I had a dorm on campus, so I can't just leave campus if I'm a student and I have a dorm. And then the security guy, rather than verifying with anyone or getting on the rocky talking with anyone, told me I was a liar called the older sheriff on me, and then got me arrested. Damn sorry. Yeah, sure. Alright, thanks. It's nice meeting you. Nice meeting you too. The 21st saw the release of images and footage of his arrest, including the contents of his backpack and a video of him in a red prison suit. Okay. So, what we're going to do, we're giving you your phone, do you have anything, like, IDs or anything else on your backpack? I have IDs, yeah. Okay. Can you tell us where they're at so we can get them out? Because the jails aren't going to take the whole backpack. They're on the front pocket of the bottom. So, like, no, it's on the thing hanging out. Oh, is there anything else in there? No. There's just IDs and then there's like a T. So, your bag is going to be held temporarily and pops for the fourth person. You get a little green card that tells you instructions on how to get back. It's going to be held for safekeeping until you get back. That's cool. Since the jail won't take your whole backpack. Okay. So, as part of that, we have to inventory your whole bag. Just to not mess it up, okay? Okay. So, this will be held. Is there anything in there that's illegal? Anything? Any needles? No. There's nothing. Anything that we need to talk about before we go through it? No. Okay. All right. Well, like I said, we'll put your phone in your ID's with you. Okay. Do you want to stand up? I've had enough. Come on up. I'll go and set this up for you. All right. Go ahead and step in there and take a seat. And I'll take your shoes with us so you can have them when you come back. Okay. Do you know Mr. Peter? Mr. Peter? Yes. Is it Mr. Peter? Yes, sir. So, is it like I'll just get the book and my finger printed? So, you are going to get the book and your finger printed, but you're going to be staying next. You have to talk to the judge. Okay? Okay. All right. You are being charged with two counts of three degree of salt. So, if both of those are Mr. Mains, you're going to be booked in logical kind of jail. And then they'll provide you with a court here. So, if someone is going to stay Monday at 1.30, because that's the day he will be here. All right. You are also being issued with an exclusion number three for the whole university and Colorado. So, I'm being trusted. Correct. So, I'm going to read this to you. All right. Okay. You are hereby warned and advised that you're excluded from and permitted not to enter, remain or return to the premises on and operated by the University of Colorado for a period of year. The violation of this exclusion was all in arrest. The exclusion will expire on 4.16, 2024. So, any campus property, you are not allowed on it for an entire year. Okay. If you would come on that, you would get charged with trespass. Okay. You understand that? I understand that. All right. Thanks Daniel. Late September was marked by increased volatility in Daniel's behavior. He continued to post bomb threats against various targets and ranted about the police in a video. On the 30th, Daniel posted a short showing an injury in a video at the Colorado Festival recording children dancing. His interactions remained contentious as evidenced by a response to a post made by the Daniel Larson Curator and a reddit photo showing him filming children. October 3rd continued Daniel's string of challenges. He was apprehended and taken to the Jefferson County Detention Facility for failing to appear in court. He managed to avoid a court case in Westminster but was confronted with an imminent $100 bill payment. And additionally, a video appeared online showcasing Daniel in a newly acquired jacket as he embarked on a job hunt. On October 4th, Daniel reiterated his schedule of five more court appearances within the month. He claimed to have been wrongly arrested, a statement unsupported by the accompanying video evidence. He bought a scooter and scheduled a housing appointment at DDRC, also starting a new YouTube channel titled Daniel Larson 2024. On October 5th, he revealed on his community tab that removing his sock had painfully peeled off a layer of skin from his foot, describing the sensation as tender and expressing his intention to buy a cast. October 8th marked the termination of his YouTube channel Daniel Larson 2024 due to impersonation allegations prompting him to launch two new channels, Daniel Larson Freedom and Daniel Larson Management. It was unclear if he actually controlled both. He also created a new TikTok account under the name Daniel Larson Freedom and uploaded a video of himself riding a scooter in Golden, Colorado. In a startling revelation, he admitted to saving child, you know what I mean, on his phone for what he termed an investigation leading to the confiscation of his phone. So one of the people that was impersonating to be Grace Banderwall did send me video verification, but the video verification that they sent me was a nude photo of a child. When I tried to save that for investigation to show to Daniel McDougal, Daniel McDougal, the Secret Service agent, actually saw it on my phone and didn't believe my story at all and actually decided that he was going to compensate my phone so I might be charged for child finality now because people who were impersonating to be Grace sending verification was sending me like actual child for verification. On October 10th, Daniel faced yet another legal hurdle as he received a court date for trespassing at the Colorado School of Mines after a physical confrontation captured live on TikTok. All the way, yeah, it was like one floor up and I actually got trolled by another person, harassed, and it ended up in a fight. Yes, with me and the other person. At that time, right? At that time when that happened up there, yeah, and that's what led to the trespass. You were by yourself? I wasn't by myself, no. I was up actually up there all night long that night because I was homeless and it was like early summer when that happened. Yeah, yeah, and I know that it was like raining for like a couple days too so I got in a fight up there with another person. Yeah, that's not true Daniel, it wasn't anybody else there. I don't know, like they came up through the stairway. You told Officer Boyd that completely there was a thing in the ambulance. No, I said that there was another person that came up through the stairway and came across into the room and they saw me and it's turned into an argument and then from there it turned into a fight. And then I guess he went into class because he went through when there was like another door, right? Yeah. So he went kind of, it's not like this, but he came up and then came across, my guess is he came either to the cars up above or into, yeah, but that's what happened. So when you say fight, what do you mean fight? Not like, it was basically harassment, like straight up harassment. But what do you mean by that? Different people mean different things. Yeah, so he saw me and he tried to put a hand on me. I don't know, to be honest, I really don't know. It was just some random person claimed they saw me from social media and they said I wasn't supposed to be here. And then it turned into an argument and then he tried to put hands on me to remove me. He looked like a student. He looked like student age. And I put my hand up to block and then it just turned into kind of escalation from there. Long story short, that's like the shortest version I can give you because it gets more complicated. So what Officer Boy told me, you told him, was that you were upset that day because of, did you court that morning, right? I did not, no. That morning or the next morning? It was, I, that might have been like another time I talked to him because I've talked to him before. The night that I was in the ambulance was a completely, that was a different day. I totally understand that. I was just talking about the wall. But he said, he didn't run into you until you were in the ambulance for that. Yeah. He said during that. During that time, what you said was that you were upset because you had court that day or the next day? I don't think I had court that week, but I was getting ready for court like in the next week to two. Sometime within that. Hey, Ben, you have a question? Okay. That's good. You didn't get a second question. You didn't get me, right? Okay. What's the next question? So, when do I have court or like when am I available? I'll talk to you when I get to you, okay? Okay. Just hold on. Yeah, that works. Yeah, what's your phone number? It is 720. Here's the summons. Okay. The top portion is personal information. Okay. Okay. And here's your driver's license. This is the information I pull off from that. The RV and charge is trespassing in the municipal court. Okay. Okay. It's golden municipal court over on 10th Street, 9-11 10th Street. Okay. Okay. Court date is November the 6th this year, 2020. Okay. 830 in the morning. Okay. Okay. If you have a problem with that court date, there'll be information on the back of the copy I'll give you that you can call and reschedule it. If you don't show, the bench won't be issued out for your arrest. Okay. Okay. All right. Any questions? No. All right. Need you to sign here? Sign your name there? Okay. Right here. And I spoke to you remember about two weeks ago, same place. All right. Yeah. I explained to you again, you're not to be on campus. This is not a refuge or a homeless shelter place. Okay. This is the university for students. The next day, October 11th saw Daniel embroiled in controversy after he took a pasta order from noodles and company that was not his leading to a dispute. He captured the incident photographically, mistakenly believing the order placed by another individual named Daniel with a different surname was his. On October 14th, Daniel launched a new channel, Daniel Larson Management, Team VanderVolt News, and the next day he created another account. On October 16th, Daniel expressed concerns about a pandemic like crisis predicted for 2025. On October 23rd, Daniel Larson found himself at the center of an unusual haircut episode. Believing one of the trolls to be his assistant, Daniel began his haircut with scissors but quickly transitioned to a razor, ending up with a reverse mohawk. Oh, gritty. I finally got my haircut done. During this incident, the trolls fabricated a tale about their car being burglarized, later modifying their story to say the car was stolen. The escapade left Daniel with an unfinished haircut, a saga extensively captured on his TikTok account, Daniel Larson Freedom. Uh-oh. When did they go? They said they'll come back. Right, so... Okay, so your car... Okay, so your car got broken into by somebody. When you were going to get your... The blow dryer. The blow dryer, okay. Alrighty. So yeah, I need to see this for myself. So the window, the window's broken? Yes, the window is broken. Alrighty. It's his car too. Oh boy, I'm in so big trouble. Fucking hell. So much trouble. Interestingly, these were the same trolls that were previously involved in incidents like the Haagen-Dazs incident and the fake security incident. The next day, on the 24th, with his new reverse mohawk, Daniel visited Boulder's city administrative offices to address his court issues. He attributed his distinctive haircuts to inspiration from Arnold Schwarzenegger, imagining a scenario where Schwarzenegger was struck by lightning in the style of Albert Einstein. So my inspiration behind this haircut, I wanted it to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger got struck by lightning just like Albert Einstein. On Halloween, Daniel appeared in court with his reverse mohawk, accepting a plea deal he was sentenced to six months of supervised probation and required to undergo a mental health evaluation. He announced a performance at the Jingle Bell Ball, listed Grace as his girlfriend on probation documents, scheduled a probation meeting, and was faced with $1,000 in fines. On the 9th, Daniel posted a video where he seemed to be yelling at someone or something. The context of this outburst was not entirely clear, as it took place in a nearly deserted area with only a few cars driving by, one with a passenger holding a coffee cup. The evening of November 10th brought an intense moment for Daniel at a Panera Bread in Westminster, Colorado. At around 8.22 pm in his time, he had a public meltdown that caught the attention of both onlookers and the managers he was communicating with on Discord. This event was eerily reminiscent of the Haagen-Dazs incident that occurred about six months earlier, which you can revisit in part two. Prior to the meltdown, it was reported that a group of trolls had been following Daniel around various locations, including Dave and Buster's and Target. Earlier in the night, he had posted what appeared to be an official document from Dave and Buster's, announcing his ban from all of their locations. The legitimacy of this document was uncertain, but Daniel accepted it as true. Given his history of being banned from various establishments, it was feasible that Daniel could have received a chain-wide ban from Dave and Buster's. The peak of the Panera Bread incident was captured by a bystander. In the video, Daniel was seen in a heated argument with two employees who were attempting to escort him off the premises. He resisted, at one point, even hurling a round table towards them. As he loudly protested about fans leaking his location, one of the employees called the police. Daniel adamantly denied any physical aggression when warned about potential assault charges. In a distressing turn, he began punching himself repeatedly and screaming, leaving the employees at a loss and merely recording the unfolding drama. For a brief moment, Daniel appeared to raise his arm threateningly towards the employees, but then stopped himself. As the situation escalated, an employee's raised voice led Daniel to hit himself again and sit back down, all the while vehemently denying any assault. Throughout his outburst, Daniel used a racial slur and asserted that he had a lawyer. Simultaneously, Daniel was on a discord call with a management team, capturing his own perspective of the incident. The footage began after the initial altercation and showed a bloody Daniel as a result of his own punches. Eventually, the police arrived and spoke with him. Surprisingly, he was not arrested, but he claimed that Panera Bread Management had banned him from the establishment. No, you don't. You want to press charges. You've already stated that. You threw a table at him. I never threw a table at you. You were across the room. You were standing right where you stand, right next to me. I just moved the table to try to create a barrier so you could put hands on me. I have my lawyers ready to leak this all over the internet. There was somebody trying to actually do a drive-by shooting. That's why I came in here. Celebrity. I have rights. I have rights to protect myself. So you're saying I can't fucking protect myself. So go ahead, put hands on me. Copy with the knife. I'm not out of control, okay? I'm not out of control at all. Sure, this goes all over Hollywood. I will make sure TMZ, 9 News, everybody covers this. A matter of fact, the last time I was in jail, they actually cleared the case, got it all lifted, and all of the jail footage was leaked. The police officers lost their job. Because I'm going to tell the police that you tried to assault me. Tina, I need you to leak this all over the internet. I have every single right to record my safety. Can I talk to you for a moment? Shoot. Please, you're standing up while I'm plugging your phone and walking out of the story. I will be more than happy to do that. There's actually a very serious issue that has happened, and I need to report it. And I've already called. So I punch yourself in the face because of that. So I'm famous, okay? I've already got investigations to focus on. I'm a singer songwriter, okay? Last time you used drugs or alcohol. I don't use drugs and I don't use alcohol. I most say differently. I always have dry eyes. It's not dry. It will be dilated pimples while you're in the side, sitting in a light. That's because I'm always on myself. Because they would have changed back already because you've been off your phone for almost a minute. That's how the eyeballs work. I don't do drugs and I don't do alcohol. What health issues have you been diagnosed with? Just autism. Do you have any weapons on you I need to know about? I don't. Don't reach any targets. Don't leave that alone. But I came in here because I was having an issue with... I don't need to do that anymore. I came in here because I was having an issue with a troll slash caterer in my family-based community outside threatening me with a gun. Okay? Threatening me to do a drive-by shooting How long this shot needs? What's your person name? Daniel. My last name is Larson. I don't know who the future... What's your phone number? It's 11151998. 1998? Yes. What's your phone number, Daniel? I don't know because I just got a new number. Why are there tables? Should I turn it off, Daniel? The manager tried to put your interaction like a lonely tune. I felt I felt endangered. And so I knocked down the tables to try to create a barrier. So I could be on one side and they could be on the other. I'm going to get real with you. That's a piss poor excuse, but... But I felt in danger. So you punched yourself in the face a bunch of times? The manager was threatening to press charges on me. So the manager pulled up the tables over and punched yourself in the face and they say, can you say no? They say he's putting a trespass to you and you say no. That's trespassing. Where did all these friends come from? They just found you out of nowhere? I'm a singer-songwriter. I have music on my heart radio. Roring Thunder. It has... Yes, it has over 5 million views right now. This is my entire YouTube. The list goes on and on. And I'm even dating this person. There's even I'm currently homeless. You're homeless, but you got 5 million views on YouTube that they paid for that? They do, but I'm dealing with a family crisis and a lot of my money is going to the family crisis. I'm extremely, extremely famous. What's your... TikTok? I do have a TikTok as well. My handle is Daniel Larson Freedom. Someone sent that to our TV and gave that handle to TikTok. You're part of some group? I'm getting banned from so many places. I'm struggling. That's the issue. Like I was saying, because fans are coming in, trolls, I don't have security. I also feel like that's the issue. I feel like it's the gel-on-hat staff, look at the tables over and punch yourself until you bleed. Not because the manager was that literally makes your worst sense. He threatened me. He threatened to press charges on me and I knew I was innocent. You weren't? He asked you to leave and you said no. You're guilty as shit right now. I just told him I don't feel safe, please call the police. He punched yourself in the face a bunch of times. Just against him, I felt endangered. I did, yes. Why'd you do that? Because if you look at it from my perspective, okay, I come in here out of concern. Okay. Can you guys hear me? Can you guys hear me? Hello? Bob is doing nothing to help and I will fucking go to his house with a gun and I will kill him. He's basically leaving me to die right now. There's actual cars right now following me. Planning a murder. Okay, and Bob is being a fucking because he's doing nothing to help. Okay. Jack asked, excuse my language, but the manager decided they were going to ban me. On November 14th, Daniel requested birthday wishes as he approached his 25th birthday on the next day. He also mentioned plans for a new haircut and was spotted by a fan in Golden, Colorado. His birthday on the 15th was marred by the news that Bob was supposedly battling cancer. Although these rumors are probably untrue, they remain unverified. On November 30th, Daniel once again faced court and was sentenced to 12 months probation, 48 hours of community service, anger management classes, and assaulting a security guard by Folsom Field. On December 2nd, Daniel made a concerning comment about planning to rob a bank and commit suicide at Lowe's. And on December 3rd, he posted images and a video on TikTok revealing his stay at a homeless shelter. On the 8th and the 9th, Daniel experienced a series of unsuccessful meetups orchestrated by individuals posing as Grace and Tina Vanderwaal. He was led to believe that he would meet them at various Denver locations such as King Super's, David Buster's, and the Four Seasons Hotel. Due to his TikTok account being private and a break from his YouTube community page, documenting events prior to the 9th was pretty difficult. However, Daniel recorded his interaction with the police at King Super's and then livestreamed his wait for the Vanderwaals at various places including an encounter with security at David Buster's. On December 8th, Daniel dealt with the police at King Super's due to customer concerns about his extended stay and phone conversations. He uploaded the incident to his YouTube page on December 9th. That day, he was arrested and later released on bond. Believing that he would meet the Vanderwaal family, Daniel continued his search the next day, livestreaming his efforts and interactions at multiple locations. Throughout his journey, he was repeatedly deceived by Vanderwaal impersonators regarding their supposed locations. These impersonators infiltrated his texts and YouTube livestreamed comments and at a movie theater to watch Napoleon, Daniel, who didn't have a ticket, was unexpectedly allowed in after receiving a fake code from Trolls. Oh, let's try this code. So, 2, 7, 2, 9, 1, 5. Okay. All right. Perfect. Thank you. On December 10th, while at an Olive Garden, Daniel went live several times to apologize to various people. But unfortunately, right after another notable incident occurred, the table at Olive Garden for himself and Grace, but was removed from the premises after attempting a citizen's arrest on everyone inside and triggering the fire along, encouraged by his chat. This incident, coincidentally, also happened on the one-year anniversary of one of his most infamous major outbursts, the December 10th incident. The livestreams are available on his YouTube channel. Yep. I can confirm. Okay. Yep. FBI vehicles are here. Let's see them outside. All right. Okay. Now the managers and everybody came back out. They have three managers on duty. Yes. I don't have cash apps. So, I don't know if that's true or not. Okay. So, I'm just going to tell them no. Yeah. Just tell them no. Thank you. I've been in here numerous and times. Okay. I am dating another celebrity. Okay. They have a management. They have a security team. They are already here. Okay. So, they're already here. They're out in the parking lot. I have an FBI investigator. I work for the Secret Service. They're investigating as well. They're investigating my entire family to make sure that, like, I am safe and I don't get school anywhere I go. They are outside being and apparently they're being, like, straight up harassed by your employees. They are saying that it's out back where your kitchen is. We have reason to believe that the documents that the manager was printing off is new photos of me from an online troll website. The... Okay. I just got sent a picture of the police holding Grace to a car outside. I have... I have full... Yep. I have full proof of Grace being assaulted. Coming in. Pictures and everything. Where... Okay. Let me give me one more second. That's happening outside somewhere. Is that point deal? I'm performing a citizen's arrest. So, the FBI is outside. We have... I have more than enough photos coming in. Okay. Who are you arresting? I'm arresting every single person here. I'm arresting employees. Didn't you tell me that you're a celebrity? Yes. Okay. Do people take pictures of celebrities, right? Right. But you were back and back printing off documents. I was? You said that and it's on video. You're printing off documents? Yes. You're... Okay. So, here's the deal. We've been... I'm gonna ask you to come over here, actually. Over here. We've been very nice. Like, that's what I'm gonna tell you. You're not filming me, correct? I am legally required to. No. You can actually just leave now. I don't have to leave. The FBI is here. I have fucking photos. Okay, sir. This is what I'm gonna tell you. You're gonna calm down right now. You're gonna stop filming me where I'm gonna call the police I know that's what you're famous for on Talk Talk but we are not doing this. Are you gonna curse at me again or are you going to leave? I never cursed. Okay, sir. What I'm gonna tell you right now is you're gonna stop filming and you're going to leave or I'm going to call the police right now. Go ahead and call the police. Thank you. I just got sent pictures and photos of Grace being assaulted. I'm not gonna just sit here and call those photos fake. I got sent them from the fucking FBI. I'm gonna ask you again about the person. There, she's moving in here. I'm gonna ask you again. I have... I have photos. I'm gonna tell you a lawyer voice. I just got word from the FBI and Rick Yorn, LVI Entertainment that you are being sued. I just got notified that Rick Yorn at LVI Entertainment who is the CEO has called the head manager and the CEO of all of Gardens and you're fired. They're working on firing you. They might be on their way but don't know yet. Wow. So in other words, the police are also trolling along with you. So, wow. That's a bunch of information now that I needed. Wow, thank you. The police are now trolling as well. The police might show up. They don't even know. I also... Also the guy with the curly hair that was sitting next to me here, he's undercover. So we have more than enough proof. The guy with the curly hair that was sitting right next to me right here was undercover. Emergency, we need you. They're calling 911 again. And now they're joking that that was actually funny. Now the managers are joking that that was funny. The managers are the ones escalating this. They are saying... Daniel, we have been advised that... Nice job trolling! That's pretty funny. I have proof that you guys were back in the back printing off my nudes off of a website. I have the Federal Bureau of Investigation in contact with me. I have an investigation going on. What are you talking about? I don't have to. I'm waiting for the police to show up. What's going on tonight? I will not say until the police show up. I'm filing for a citizen's arrest. Okay. Do you need any medical attention? I don't. Hi. Yes, I do. I have information that is extremely important with the managers here. I am... My name is Daniel Larson. I'm an upcoming celebrity. I'm dating another singer-songwriter named Grace Vander Waal. I'm in contact with her management, LBI Entertainment and the CEO of LBI Entertainment, Rick Yorn. I am also in contact with Grace Vander Waal's because that's a celebrity I'm dating. I'm in contact with her security and her parents. Now, I have proof from her security okay, which is based out of California that the managers here were... I have a subreddit called the Daniel Larson subreddit and the managers here who actually know me, I've been coming here for months. We're leaking my new photos from one platform to the subreddit. Then I started getting information from Grace Vander Waal's security. We were trying to get a reservation for tonight and the managers here wouldn't let us book the reservation and I was already getting my meal everything. I was waiting for Daniel. Daniel then streamed again in a video titled Daniel Larson Filling Out a Police Report at an Olive Garden. During this stream a police officer gave Daniel a trespass notice prohibiting him from Olive Garden for a year and charged him criminally for pulling the fire alarm. He also received a court date of February 14th 2024 at Jefferson County. Interestingly an Olive Garden employee shared a photo on the same subreddit of Daniel inside with the officers. In the comments under the photo, the employee revealed that Daniel had secured a table for 8 and was not banned from that specific Olive Garden. The next day, Daniel posted a now deleted video of himself being ejected from a local chain restaurant during the live stream. In the stream a restaurant employee confronted Daniel, recorded him with his phone and even called him a derogatory term. You are retarded. Wow, that's rude. No, I don't care. Treat him with speech. That is true. The employee whom Daniel's followers nicknamed line chef guy was commended by many on the Daniel Larson subreddit for confronting Daniel though others often joked about his resemblance to the rapper Yeat. The following day, Daniel's TikTok account was banned. To this day, Daniel still remains homeless wandering the streets of Colorado causing chaos in public areas and local businesses. His legal situation is still unfolding and it's only a matter of time until we find out whether or not Daniel Larson will be spending time in prison. As the third part of the Daniel Larson documentary comes to a close, we're left with a mix of emotions and thoughts. Daniel Larson's life defined by seemingly endless and increasingly worse public breakdowns, legal issues and patterns of unpredictable online behavior shows us a person drifting further and further from reality. We've seen how Daniel's life filled with continuous setbacks and poor choices remains shaky especially in terms of his living situation and finances. Despite chances to turn things around, he seems stuck in an endless cycle of breakdowns, altercations in public and clashes with authorities and people around him. These incidents are getting worse and worse, suggesting that Daniel's future is unfortunately looking grim. Looking back one can't help but think about how sad it is that this docu-series even exists. It's a story that people are drawn to because of a mixture of fascination, concern and a profound sense of tragedy. As we continue to speculate on the future that awaits Daniel, it's not looking good. How much time does he have left in this spiral before reaching a point of no return? This episode leaves us with more questions than answers. In the end the story of Daniel Larson is a cautionary tale, a complex mosaic of unfulfilled potential, misguided aspirations and relentless quest for recognition in a world that often feels indifferent. As viewers and witnesses of his life's story, we're left to deal with the nuances and complexities of a real human life played out in the public eye. In the huge amalgamation of everything there is on the internet, every thread tells a story, but not all stories find their way to the light. Thank you all so much for watching and I hope to see you all in the next installment. If that day ever comes, um y'all are still watching, right? Damn, does it feel good to be back? Oh my god, I missed video making so bad y'all have no idea. It's been, it's been a long six months. Jesus, six months. Yeah, I have not uploaded in a long time, but I can explain. I swear. Um, let me just give you guys a little bit of a rundown of what's been going on in my life since I last uploaded, just so y'all can kind of get a better idea as to what I've been up to. Let's see, I moved out of my parent's house. I started my first semester of university. I had a whole video written out. I made that video and got a bunch of people to be on it, including some pretty big YouTubers. Then I scrapped that video, started focusing more on school, took a break just made it through finals week, and I passed all my classes. So, yeah it's been pretty eventful, but yeah I've basically just kind of been on break to sort of just focus on this personal change in my life of just, you know adjusting to college and moving out and whatnot. And I also just needed some time off so that I could sort of, you know, save my grades in a couple of classes. But yeah, I'm good now. I'm on winter break, which is pretty much the only reason why I was able to get this video out. I just wanted to say thank you guys once again for all the love and support. Daniel Larson Part 2 was a total success and I've heard your guys' feedback and criticisms from it. I know I pronounced some things wrong. Y'all can stop with the Wichita jokes. I know if y'all want to hear me say it correctly this time let me just say Wichita Wichita. There we go I think I got it. I also understand that Part 2 might have been very over edited a bit. I kind of over shot myself on the production value there so I apologize to anybody who might have found that video hard to watch or just, you know, visually straining. I hope I did better with this one sort of balancing the production value while also keeping it simple. And also we hit so many milestones 10,000 subscribers 15,000 subscribers and now we're closing in on 20k. Absolutely insane. Also you guys got Daniel Larson Documentary Part 1 to a million views holy shit. Thank you guys so much. I never in my life thought that I would have a 1 million view YouTube video especially for an actual passion project and not just some shitty meme or whatever. Truly thank you guys but yeah that's just about it. As for Part 4
