David Freiheit, also known as Viva Frei, is a Canadian lawyer, former political candidate for the People's Party of Canada, and YouTuber. Appearing as a guest on programs such as The Megyn Kelly Show and Timcast IRL, Freiheit has discussed several notable books in the context of legal controversies, current events, and cultural analysis. On The Megyn Kelly Show, he referenced Russell Brand's autobiography My Booky Wook while analyzing public allegations against Brand. Freiheit noted that he had read the book prior to the charges emerging, pointing out that its explicit descriptions of Brand's past conduct and his desire for absolution created complex twenty-something-year-old gray zones that could heavily influence how jurors and the public view ongoing legal disputes and allegations. In another appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, Freiheit brought up O.J. Simpson's controversial book If I Did It, remarking on the massive public controversy and widespread backlash surrounding its publication following Simpson's criminal trial. Additionally, during an episode of Timcast IRL, Freiheit discussed George Orwell's classic dystopian novel Animal Farm, noting that the host's analysis and understanding of the text inspired him to return and reread the book.
