According to new polls, Donald Trump will inevitably beat Joe Biden in 2024, and you begin to wonder: will the Democrats ever consider replacing him with another candidate? Or will it be like the last cycle, where they would rather lose to Trump with Hillary than beat Trump with, as it then was, Bernie Sanders? Would you imagine that RFK would do better if he was the Democratic nominee? And does any of it matter when you sense that behind the edifices of potential power, there is some lurking force that is actually governing everything? A kind of global establishment that is able to evade national sovereignty. I learned some extraordinary things from my conversation with Dr. David Martin that you will very much enjoy, particularly on the precipice of a new WHO treaty that will grant yet more power to them, yet more of your tax dollars to them when 88% of their donated funding comes from where? You'll have to answer that question later on the show: Where? But 88% of their donations come from? Where do they get their money from? Let me know if you know, if you can trust the legacy media, where do they come from, and what do they do to keep us safe from the dark night of the soul? And what do you think of Joe Biden's slogan: To a new degree of insanity? Joe Biden s slogan is: Don t do it! You don t have to be insane to do it. in order to be an idiot. And if you don't do it, you need to wake yourself up. You need a transcendent systems and start forming in your community now. And you need a new model that s going to help you awaken yourself and start making sense of the world. and you don t need to awaken yourself, unless you do it by being an awakened wonder. You need to be a revolutionary, not just by waking up, not by listening to the world by being a woke wonder because you're going to wake up to the light, you're waking up to it or you won't be able to wake it up by being woke by the world by being awake by the light you're not by waking yourself by the dark, by becoming woke by it. You'll be told you'll wake up by it by it . - Russell Brand. - Stay Free with Russell Brand, Stay Free, Nobb and RUMBLE, Noebb and Rumble
00:02:51.000Thanks for joining me on Stay Free with Russell Brand today.
00:02:55.000Wherever you're watching us, we will be available, no ebb or rumble, in about 15 minutes, and we've got a lot to talk to you about.
00:03:03.000Seems that according to new polls, Trump will inevitably beat Biden in 2024, and you begin to wonder, will they ever consider replacing Biden?
00:03:13.000Or will it be like in the last cycle, where they would rather lose to Trump with Hillary than beat Trump with, as it then was, Bernie.
00:03:24.000Would you imagine that RFK would do better if he was the Democrat nominee?
00:03:28.000And does any of it matter when you sense that behind the edifices of potential power there is some lurking force that is actually governing everything?
00:03:40.000A kind of global establishment that is able to evade national sovereignty I'm talking about organizations like the WHO.
00:03:47.000I learned some extraordinary things from my conversation with Dr. David Martin that you will very much enjoy, particularly on the precipice as we are of a new WHO treaty that will grant yet more power to them, yet more of your tax dollars to them, when 88% of their donated funding comes from...
00:04:08.000You'll have to answer that question later on the show.
00:04:10.000But 88% of their donations come from where?
00:04:27.000This is what I wear when I'm out in the world.
00:04:29.000If you're watching this anywhere other than Rumble, download the app.
00:04:32.000You'll be told every time We stream so you'll be continually informed of our content and know you this, I am approaching 21 years, one day at a time, free from drugs and alcohol.
00:04:47.000I have not had a drink since December the 12th 2002.
00:04:52.000My life depends on that information being literally, actually, verifiably true, okay?
00:04:59.000Bear that in mind in a crazy world with a legacy news media that you I'm afraid cannot trust.
00:05:05.000Now let's have a look at Joe Biden's ongoing campaign and consider what kind of state the Democrat Party must be in that they can't think of a better alternative to Joe Biden.
00:05:15.000Like in a minute you'll literally hear them say This is the best we can do.
00:05:20.000This dear, wonderful, stretched, cadaverous, platitude-spouting, dear old man of the system is the best we can do.
00:05:30.000A friend of our show, Glenn Greenwald, he posted this.
00:05:33.000Just consider how much Americans hate and distrust this country's leading institutions when Trump, indicted on felony charges in four different jurisdictions, leads Biden in this way in key swing states.
00:05:46.000How much do you hate the establishment?
00:05:49.000How little trust do you have for the legacy media?
00:05:53.000Are you beginning to see now that this is actually beyond party politics, isn't it?
00:05:59.000We need new systems and we need them quickly.
00:06:03.000We're talking about a very complex omnicrisis with war on several fronts, with personal liberty being infringed upon, with justice being prevailed against.
00:06:15.000This is a serious situation and it's going to require more in terms of complexity to solve it than a man who seems to be willing to build his entire presidency on a single word.
00:06:58.000Don't think that anyone is going to save you unless you awaken yourself and start forming in your community now The willingness to impose, to oppose this injustice and form new alliances.
00:07:10.000Somehow we must free ourselves from hatred.
00:07:12.000Somehow we must free ourselves from the inner darkness and be willing to move towards the light together.
00:07:17.000Because Antony Blinken, who I feel has some sway over foreign policy, and I have been reliably informed that the man is an actual idiot.
00:07:26.000Almost like you could do a test on him and it would come back, oh my god he's an idiot!
00:07:30.000He's taken dear Joe Biden's Don't, slogan!
00:07:35.000In fact, he's improved it a little bit.
00:07:36.000At the same time, it was very important to send a very clear message to anyone who might seek to take advantage of the conflict in Gaza to threaten our personnel here or anywhere else in the region.
00:07:53.000Later, after we've shown you our item where we talk about... You know Tucker talked about how insane it would be to engage in war with Iran.
00:08:08.000You'll tell us in the chat whether you agree that it's brilliant.
00:08:11.000But we talk about how this has been a long desired conflict, like the establishment has been baiting Iran for a little while.
00:08:18.000The complexity that could be unleashed if this escalates further, even beyond the horror that we're currently experiencing in that region.
00:08:27.000This could be, we're teasing Armageddon, though it were a junkyard dog.
00:08:33.000No wonder people are willing to embrace that anomalous creature, that man that you love over there in the rumble chat, that even you, my awakened wonders, are seeing has something to offer when it comes to upturning establishment politics, Donald Trump.
00:08:49.000Here's some mainstream media coverage of his new position in the polls.
00:08:54.000Today marks exactly one year from the 2024 presidential election and what could end up being a rematch between Joe Biden and- It's not a fight.
00:09:34.000Do you see that it amounts to a war machine and you just argue about the paint on the planes that will be dropping bombs on human beings just like you somewhere in the world?
00:09:50.000Do you think we could do better if we were to embrace our inner spirit?
00:09:53.000Press 1 if you're watching us, if you think we could awaken a greater power within ourselves that's dormant, latent and awaiting to be awakened even now.
00:10:03.0002 if you feel beaten by the system, if they've cowed you, if they've broken you.
00:10:07.000Let me know if you've got more power in you.
00:10:09.000Let me know if you're approaching the point where you've had enough, where you're willing to throw off the shackles and the chains, when you're willing to test your freedom by moving, by moving against their narrative.
00:10:20.000When was the last time you saw Albert Ball, the CEO of Pfizer, ask the difficult question?
00:10:25.000When was the last time you were asked to call this number if you'd experienced a vaccine injury?
00:10:30.000When was the last time that this establishment did anything other than try to kowtow you, reduce you into a blob, pump you full of chemicals, fill you bad food, stick you in front of a screen and dun your children right down?
00:10:42.000Let me know when you last saw freedom.
00:10:45.000Let me know when you last felt free within nature.
00:10:48.000I'm seeing a lot of 1s and I ain't seeing any 2s.
00:11:04.000Who used to work for the FDA and are now working for Moderna after just verifying that some more of their booster shots could be released onto an unsuspecting public?
00:11:13.000Well, a couple of doctors will be talking about that in some detail later on this week.
00:11:19.000I'm seeing there's an endless slew of ones.
00:12:04.000Look at views about both today and the future.
00:12:06.000So first, the number of Americans who think that things are going badly in the country today has hit its high for the year.
00:12:13.000So you might expect any incumbent to be down as Biden is.
00:12:16.000Things are going badly, but that's also his fault because he's sort of nominally in charge.
00:12:20.000You might expect that people would lose the respect of people with everything going so badly, with the forever wars marching ever closer into total immersion.
00:13:16.000And if you're watching us on Rumbling, you want access to additional content, meditations and solutions as we discuss ways to move forward, to grow this movement, to turn independent media into independent politics.
00:13:27.000Do you imagine for a second there'll be a COVID inquiry in the UK if there hadn't been independent media voices?
00:13:33.000Would you have had all these Senate hearings, Rand Paul and all that stuff, were it not for an independent media showcasing voices like Jay Bhattacharya, Peter McCulloch, All who have been on our shows, Dave, mine, all of those people that have been willing to speak out against the narrative.
00:13:48.000I'll tell you what, however much money Pfizer and Moderna made, no matter how many regulations and legislations were able to be passed by your government at the string pool of the WHO, is nothing compared to what they would have done without your opposition.
00:14:24.000He's polling at 22% and he's only just gotten started.
00:14:27.000He's a friend of the show, consistent guest on the show.
00:14:31.000And also, Would you rather have RFK with his legacy name and his sympathy for a wide variety of issues than Joe Biden, who it seems did accept some checks from CFC... EFC, excuse me, a China energy company.
00:14:48.000This is a report from the Wall Street Journal.
00:14:50.000They seem to have a literal check made out to the big guy himself, Joe Biden.
00:17:35.000There's a lot of focus on spiritual awakening, which let me tell you is a necessary component if we're going to meaningfully change the world.
00:17:41.000We're going to need new resources, baby.
00:17:43.000We're not going to be able to change the world just by moving the deck chairs around, by using the parts that we already have access to.
00:17:49.000There has to be a deep power summoned from within us.
00:17:52.000Certainly is the kind of power that Dominic Cummings, who was the advisor of Boris Johnson during the Brexit period, he's a sort of an extraordinary and interesting character.
00:18:02.000And apparently, while Boris Johnson, who's widely regarded as a kind of lazy Prime Minister, sort of a kind of, I don't know, like a lovable crackpot, but He was evidently pretty corrupt.
00:18:14.000I don't know if you know this in your country, but in our country, the government just held parties the whole way through the lockdown, and it was leaked afterwards.
00:18:21.000I know that your Gavin Newsom had a party or two.
00:18:25.000Well, they committed to it in our country.
00:18:27.000Now, Dominic Cummings was a key advisor of the government, and in fact, some would say the defining figure and mastermind behind Boris Johnson's ascendancy.
00:18:38.000Here's a little bit from that inquiry where they're doing what seems to me to be a pretty limited, mealy-mouthed inquiry.
00:18:46.000They're not, for example, going to go, oh no, the vaccines were ineffective.
00:19:14.000Well, ordinary people suffered, of course, but no one suffered legitimate consequences for the orchestration of a financial catastrophe of that nature.
00:19:23.000Let's have a look at Dominic Cummings, having given you a little bit of background on him.
00:19:28.000You called ministers useless fuck pigs, morons, cunts.
00:19:30.000Do you think you contributed to a lack of effectiveness on the part of ministers?
00:19:34.000That is a good description of him also, Lucian56 on the Rumble chat.
00:19:37.000Let's have a look at Dominic Cummings and his peculiar cursing.
00:19:41.000You called ministers useless fuck pigs, morons, cunts.
00:19:46.000Do you think you contributed to a lack of effectiveness on the part of ministers?
00:19:49.000No, I think I was reflecting a widespread view.
00:20:36.000Maybe we'll have a look at the cyborg afterwards, because I want to show you this story.
00:20:40.000We're all aware of what's happening in the Middle East.
00:20:43.000We're all aware of the complexity of bundling together funding to perpetuate the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict with this escalating crisis in the Middle East.
00:20:51.000How also there appears to be an agenda to provoke China in the South Seas.
00:20:57.000Last week, our man Tucker said provoking Iran is pretty crazy and pretty irresponsible.
00:21:04.000Biden discusses American troops in Gaza, another war in the Middle East could be underfoot.
00:21:10.000And this is what's difficult, I think.
00:21:12.000That it's likely that the Republicans and the Democrats will both vote for it.
00:21:17.000We're going to spend a bit of time in this story and you are going to love it.
00:21:19.000Let me know what you think in the chat.
00:22:18.000Well, we'll just vote for someone who doesn't want there to be a continual war everywhere in the world.
00:22:22.000There are no political parties that don't want that.
00:22:26.000One thing you won't be deciding for yourself is whether or not to have a government in the United States of America that is not pro-war, because both the Republicans and Democrats are pro-Middle Eastern war, in particular with Iran.
00:22:39.000Now, Joe Biden, as you know, is already discussing ground troops in Gaza.
00:22:45.000And curiously, the idea of ceasefire or peace is now verboden, even to discuss it.
00:22:51.000If you're a person that is affiliated with Palestine, I imagine you have extremely strong opinions about what's happening there now.
00:22:58.000And if you're a person with strong affiliations with Israel or Judaism or Islam and Palestine, excuse me, there's so many ways for you to be personally offended and affected by this.
00:23:07.000But I would say for the rest of us, perhaps what we could look at is Peace?
00:23:22.000Like, how can I, a man from Gray's Essex, England, possibly pontificate on that?
00:23:27.000But I'll tell you what we can talk about is whether or not it's best for the West, and America in particular, To unilaterally fund the perpetuation of wars between Russia and Ukraine, potential wars with China, war with Iran.
00:23:41.000Surely there must be a conversation about what is best for humanity as a whole, for the individual people across various regions.
00:23:47.000How come these arguments continue to collide and contradict?
00:23:51.000Why is it that it's impossible to say, wow man, we should be evolving beyond this whole war state that we appear to be globalizing right now?
00:24:00.000One person who is not afraid to say the unsayable is, of course, Tucker Carlson, who's advocating for peace and saying that war with Iran would be disastrous.
00:24:08.000We've said before, war with Iran has been a plan for ages and ages.
00:24:13.000And do you think sometimes that people that run, like, weapons manufacturers have a vested interest in selling weapons?
00:24:19.000And do you think that the New American Project, which did state war with Iran was on the agenda, would exploit a situation like the current travesties in that region?
00:24:30.000Let's have a look at what Tucker Carlson's views on a potential conflict with Iran are and ask why neither political party in the United States of America are willing to advocate for peace.
00:24:52.000Former Colonel Douglas McGregor is the CEO of our country, Our Choice, and one of the first people we turn to for analysis of events like this because he is interested in what happens to the United States.
00:25:27.000I wonder though people that fiercely advocate for more war if they ever think in the ultimate war we all die.
00:25:34.000Now I know we all die anyway and perhaps it doesn't matter if we all die at the same time perhaps it might be nicer but there should be some sort of chat about it shouldn't there?
00:25:41.000There doesn't seem to be any real appreciation for the implications for us, and frankly for Europe and the world, as well as the Middle East, of such action.
00:25:51.000Take for an example, just on the economic side, about 20% of the world's oil passes through the Straits of Hormuz every month.
00:26:02.000Probably 25% of liquefied natural gas.
00:26:06.000And you're talking about shutting down 2 to 3 million barrels a day of oil from Iran.
00:26:13.000You know, this entire region is involved in the war.
00:26:18.000This is not an Iranian monopoly by any stretch of the imagination.
00:26:22.000What Colonel Douglas McGregor has just explained is that by going to war with Iran, you jeopardize that entire region, not just oil produced in that particular country, but many Natural fuels or fossil fuels however you describe them that are produced in that region will be jeopardized.
00:26:37.000So essentially you're creating a cluster of conflicts and I suppose a massive energy crisis that's likely to affect everybody in Europe and North America.
00:26:47.000And I suppose there are some things that are simply worth doing that for.
00:26:54.000Is that something that we've considered?
00:26:56.000Is that something you feel that you've had explained plainly to you?
00:26:59.000The same way that as the Ukraine-Russia conflict was escalating, was it explained to you that it was likely to create an energy crisis?
00:27:05.000Were you told that the Ukrainian counteroffensive would definitely be successful even when the government themselves said there's no chance that's going to bloody work?
00:27:12.000What I'm advocating for myself is a kind of, as best as possible, holistic understanding of why this might happen.
00:27:18.000And if we, from watching Tucker Carlson and this general, can together conclude that it's likely to have devastating consequences, presumably the people that are advocating for the advance of this conflict also understand that, have gamed out and mapped out and gone, Going to be good for us, ultimately, because it seems that the last crisis, the pandemic, was beneficial for the most powerful interests in the world.
00:27:41.000Big tech benefited, big pharma benefited.
00:27:43.000There's a problem when what crisis for you, because it's going to cost you a lot of money to put gas in your car, are not crisis for them.
00:27:49.000You can't have decisions made by people who are not affected by the consequences of their decision.
00:27:57.000Then when you look at the military side, you have to look at the arsenal of missiles.
00:28:01.000Very high explosive conventional warheads that would do enormous damage, destroying whole city blocks in places like Haifa, Tel Aviv, even Jerusalem, though I doubt they would attack Jerusalem.
00:28:22.000The bottom line is that we need to think this through, and everyone right now is emoting.
00:28:26.000Yeah, think this through doesn't seem like the worst idea in the world on the precipice of another crisis, and it does seem like people are emoting.
00:28:33.000You do see people like Lindsey Graham and Nikki Haley talking about it in bombastic, hyperbolic, emotional terms, which are gonna get An emotional response, as we continually say, particularly from people on either side of this devastating, ideological, historic conflict that are emotionally affected.
00:28:49.000They're obviously not going to be swayed or persuaded by anyone, I don't imagine.
00:28:53.000And then the rest of culture seems to be treating this like it's just another one of those things where on Instagram you put a tile up or whatever.
00:29:00.000This is something that pertains to the potential end of the world.
00:29:03.000So I feel like if you're not personally invested, you probably have an obligation to advocate for a sensible solution.
00:29:11.000Or at least, even if you're not, you should say no.
00:29:28.000This is going to legitimise the government's locking us all in our homes again.
00:29:31.000We're all going to have to have social credit scores because the migrant crisis will be used to legitimise people having digital IDs and stuff.
00:29:37.000Dissenting voices are being shut down now because it's considered insensitive to say Could we always... That song, all we are saying is give peace a chance now.
00:30:05.000We're going to have to look at some new models of working this stuff out and not just go with the elite establishment who benefit from perpetual crisis because otherwise they're going to keep perpetuating crisis.
00:30:21.000All of the bases that we have in Iraq and Syria, unfortunately, where we still have over a thousand Americans, All of those would be targeted and this time they would target them accurately and this destruction would be wholesale.
00:30:34.000I would expect trouble here at home and in the United States because of the open border.
00:30:39.000Hezbollah has a very large operation in Mexico.
00:31:11.000You might want to put that stuff aside at this point because we're all going to die.
00:31:15.000We can only begin to imagine the kind of trouble they could cause.
00:31:19.000The missile and space program in Iran is very, very advanced, as is their cyber warfare capability.
00:31:26.000All of these things would be brought to bear against us.
00:31:29.000But what's most important, I think, for Americans to understand is if we attack Iran on the basis of Hezbollah's alleged willingness to attack Israel, if Israel invades Gaza, we will end up in a fight with Russia.
00:31:44.000Russia will not sit by quietly and watch Iran destroyed by the United States air and naval power in the region.
00:31:53.000And once Russia enters this, it becomes much more than just a local conflict.
00:32:15.000And the question you might want to ask yourself is not the kind of questions They're quite complex, ideological, sometimes theological, the complex historic regional disputes that have defined the Middle East.
00:32:25.000All of those things are, you know, seem irresolvable, certainly to my tiny little mind.
00:32:29.000But what you can say with some degree of certainty is the people that claim to represent you and your interests do not represent you and your interests.
00:32:36.000They represent the military-industrial complex and their interests.
00:32:38.000interests and probably sets of interests that are too diffuse and ethereal for me to even
00:32:44.000identify and understand because I don't think those kind of interests are plainly visible to us.
00:32:50.000So do you think that it would be good if somewhere in the conversation
00:32:55.000these kind of views were being espoused?
00:32:57.000And beyond that, somewhere within the electoral process, you were invited to participate.
00:33:03.000For example, say you went, no, I really believe in this because I'm Israeli, or I'm really against this because my family are in Gaza.
00:33:10.000I'd say, oh, God, yeah, I'll shut up if you want.
00:33:12.000I wouldn't try and have those arguments with you.
00:33:16.000For people that are just looking at, oh I live in Wyoming, or I live in Dusseldorf, or whatever, we're talking about world war.
00:33:51.000And it's a policeman that's not operating on behalf of the community.
00:33:53.000It's a policeman that's operating on behalf of the interests of the powerful, which is the complaints that people have about ordinary policing sometimes.
00:34:00.000Good policing would be, we work for you, the community, how can we protect you and make sure that a law, a law that's there to protect you is observed.
00:34:06.000A bad policing would be, we're going to crush your dissent in favour of the agenda of the establishment.
00:34:12.000If you don't have any values or principles, you're just a wash.
00:34:16.000I feel like we might need to look for a third way.
00:34:17.000exhausted. I know many of you out there struggling between food and fuel and
00:34:22.000other winters upon us, another mad pandemic could be launched at any time,
00:34:26.000curious, bizarre decisions to be made. It's very difficult to engage these kind
00:34:30.000of subjects, so easy to go for the emotional response, I'm on this side, I'm
00:34:33.000on that side, I'll post these kind of things. But I feel like we might need to
00:34:37.000look for a third way. This is Daniel R. DePetris, who's a fellow at Defence
00:34:41.000Priorities. As bad as the war between Israel and Hamas is, it could get even
00:34:46.000Some US politicians and pundits are perfectly fine with the prospect, and even recommended that the Biden administration take the fight directly to Iran, Hamas's main external backer.
00:34:55.000Senator Lindsey Graham, an arch-Iran hawk, has used several television appearances to press for war against Iran.
00:35:02.000On October 15th, the Senator stated the US should knock Iran out of the oil business if Hezbollah, its proxy in southern Lebanon, entered the conflict.
00:35:10.000Pundits are wholly unaccountable and have the luxury of not worrying about the consequences of their recommendations.
00:35:17.000Policymakers, in contrast, have weighty responsibility on their shoulders and need to closely weigh the costs And benefits of every plausible scenario.
00:35:25.000And I suppose here it becomes relevant and important to note that it's our firm belief that those policymakers do not represent you.
00:35:32.000They represent another set of interests and have to create rhetorical veils to prevent us going, hey, you don't represent us.
00:35:38.000You're just going to do stuff that's convenient for your backers.
00:35:40.000That's why you invest in weapons companies on the precipice of war.
00:35:45.000That's why you turn up at these dinners.
00:35:46.000That's why lobbying and donations aren't all banned.
00:35:49.000So because we're not Thinking in those terms, for some strange reason, we allow policies to be made that are at odds with the interests of most of us.
00:35:57.000First, we should be clear about one thing.
00:35:59.000Just because Tehran is a sponsor of Hamas, it doesn't necessarily mean it was operationally involved in the terror group's rampage in Israel.
00:36:05.000This isn't about making any excuses for Iran, who after all, is the world's preeminent state sponsor of terrorism, but rather to point out a simple fact.
00:36:13.000Secretary of State Antony Blinken publicly stated, Of course the terrorist attack is appalling.
00:36:31.000I suppose what we're discussing is whether or not to go to Iran or Iraq or what the subsequent reaction to it, particularly by people that aren't directly involved, nations indeed that aren't directly involved, might do to contribute to making this conflict far, far
00:37:01.000Is it me, or does the future feel more insecure and uncertain?
00:37:05.000Wars, pandemics, lies, trickery, my cats keep having kittens, the last one's personal.
00:37:11.000For those who are in the United States there is a way to secure your hard-earned nest egg.

00:37:59.000of silver and protect your future in this crazy crazy world with some solid
00:38:04.000precious metals literally made in stars. Some like John Bolton former president
00:38:08.000Donald Trump's national security adviser have long advocated for the use of US
00:38:12.000military force against Tehran and used every opportunity to buttress their argument for military action.
00:38:16.000It's telling, however, that these same proponents fail to seriously consider the costs attached to such an operation.
00:38:21.000And the costs are so exceedingly high that whatever benefits may arise out of a military campaign are practically irrelevant.
00:38:27.000Any attack against Iran would turn the 30,000 U.S.
00:38:29.000troops stationed throughout the Middle East into prime targets for an Iranian reprisal.
00:38:34.000We know this because American troops have been targeted by the Iranians before, not only through proxies in Iraq and Syria, but directly.
00:38:40.000The roughly 3,500 US troops in Iraq and Syria would be sitting ducks, having to dodge rocket fire and drone attacks from Iran's proxy network to a greater extent than they already are.
00:38:50.000American casualties would compel the White House to send even more US military power into the region for force protection purposes, which in turn would provide Iran and the litany of militias under its thumb with even more targets.
00:39:01.000One can't overstate just how quickly a situation like this could spiral into a fully-fledged war between the US and Iran, which both have sought to avoid.
00:39:09.000And it's been noted that potentially that could include Russia.
00:39:13.000So it seems that what we have is a sensitive, complex situation that whatever else should be as free from hyperbole and hysteria as is humanly possible.
00:39:20.000Israel too would be in for a very difficult period.
00:39:23.000The IDF is an extremely capable force, yet has never been tested on two fronts simultaneously.
00:39:27.000Although the missile attacks and airstrikes between Israel and Hezbollah over the past several days are a concern, those engagements have been limited thus far.
00:39:35.000It would no longer be the case if US bomber aircraft dropped their payloads in Iran.
00:39:41.000It's inconceivable that Hezbollah would be restrained in such a scenario.
00:39:45.000This would not only be terrible for Israelis who live in the north, but also for those in Tel Aviv.
00:39:49.000Hezbollah's missile arsenal can reach Israel's major population centers.
00:39:53.000Unlike the rocket arsenals of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah's missile capacity includes at least some with precision-guided technology.
00:40:02.000Casualties in Israel would be immense.
00:40:03.000Taking the fight to Iran is the last thing the US should do.
00:40:06.000It was a terrible idea when it was proposed in the past.
00:40:10.000And it seems like it's the sort of idea that would only be pursued by people who don't care about Palestinian lives, Israeli lives, Iranian lives, American lives, British, French, Syrian, Yemeni lives, perhaps even life itself, outside of a very narrow set of parameters and a very narrow set of interests.
00:40:30.000Whatever such a unipolar and hegemonic perspective is, it is not democracy.
00:40:39.000It's not likely to lead to a better, more peaceful world.
00:40:43.000Think how at odds that assessment is with Joe Biden's almost ludicrously jingoistic proclamations on 60 Minutes where we're the United States of America for crying out loud.
00:41:05.000Those three syllables are not going to be sufficient to help the people of Tel Aviv in the event that Hezbollah target them, which in this analysis becomes a possibility.
00:41:14.000And the heightened emotions caused by an appalling terror attack And an escalating ground war in a region that has been historically more troubled than any that I can even think of.
00:41:26.000All of these things have to be considered.
00:41:27.000And to be dismissive of the very idea of peace, or looking for a solution, or not immediately alloying yourself unquestioningly to one side, because one side has historically been oppressed And the other side has been subject to genocide.
00:41:43.000And there are so many religious reasons that either side can call upon.
00:41:47.000Otherwise, this conflict wouldn't be happening, I suppose.
00:41:51.000If we allow politicians, policymakers, weapons manufacturers, global hegemonists It's the kind of unipolar forces that exploited the pandemic in order to create profit and shut down true democracy.
00:42:03.000If those voices prevail, if there isn't the introduction of nuance, conversation, uncertainty, doubt, inquiry, without those things, without the kind of Sturm and Drang and patriotism and bluster and simplistic online alliances that appear to define almost every issue these days, then The outcome is likely to be global war.
00:42:22.000It was already worrying that people were not advocating for peace between Ukraine and Russia because it's a situation that would inevitably lead to a nuclear conflict.
00:42:30.000Finding ways to mesh that together with this far more volatile situation in the Middle East is appalling and ridiculous.
00:42:38.000I don't think we should be afraid to advocate for peace.
00:42:42.000And if there are no political parties, if the Democrat Party want war because their interests are the military-industrial complex's interests, if the Republican Party want war because their interests are the military-industrial complex's interests or energy companies or whatever kind of alliances they have, you know as well as I do, whatever it is they're saying and whatever it is they're doing, It isn't because they're, we love the people of this region, or we love the people of that religion.
00:43:11.000It's clear from their actions, from the events of the last few years, and the direction of flow of revenue, and what kind of people find themselves unpersoned or bell-mashed into eternal trialless purgatory.
00:43:24.000I'm speaking of course of Julian Assange.
00:43:28.000That tells you what the trajectory of power is.
00:43:31.000And if this happens to align temporarily with your belief system, then I won't judge you.
00:43:36.000But if you're not personally, religiously, ethnically involved in this conflict, then I would say, and I pray that you agree with me, that we should be looking for ways to avoid the loss of human life, avoid damaging the planet, and avoid our shared and collective future.
00:43:52.000Because from the most desirable perspective, we do have a shared future.
00:43:58.000And if we abandon that perspective and just say, no, it's this tribe and that tribe and you're either with us or against us, and even if you just don't allow yourself to one of these perspectives, you're out, then it's over.
00:44:11.000And then we will have a regionalized, tribalized world because civilization will crumble as a result of escalating conflicts that will ultimately become nuclear, I suppose.
00:44:19.000I mean, that's certainly one solution and one that perhaps we should be working together to avoid.
00:45:19.000Let me know who I'm talking about there.
00:45:22.000Also, Jairism is talking about Steven Crowder's stream and the manifesto of the tragic Nashville murders.
00:45:32.000I mean, I guess the colloquialism you lot use is shooters.
00:45:36.000I know Crowder's covered that in some There's some pretty incendiary and painful language in that, and I know that Stephen Crowder has covered it in some depth.
00:45:45.000We'll have a look at that for you guys.
00:45:47.000Also, this is, I would say, a tangential matter from you lot.
00:46:18.000But we do know that the CIA were Yeah, pretty involved in some extraordinary cultural moments.
00:46:25.000Listen, before we showed you the Here's the News episode on Iran, we were talking about the potential for CEO executives, including, notably, Micah the robot.
00:46:42.000As if when automation reaches saturation, the first category of worker that will go are high up executives and chairman of the board.
00:46:52.000Let's have a look at Micah, the robot.
00:46:54.000It's a pretty extraordinary individual.
00:46:57.000Are robot CEOs the future of the workplace?
00:47:00.000Hello, I'm Micah, the world's first experimental AI CEO at Dictador.
00:47:04.000In September of 2023, Mika was an experimental CEO of a company in Poland.
00:47:07.000Is Mika on that tripod? Is that what Mika's moved around in?
00:47:11.000Look, she's been a CEO there, I think, in Poland, but I don't think that the board are paying nearly enough
00:47:16.000Environmental CEO of a company in Poland.
00:48:45.000Filthy application of these robots, not as CEOs, but for the kind of thing that many of you like Thracian88 are discussing using them for right now in the rumble chat.
00:48:54.000Though I wouldn't want that guy whose head's just on the wall there.
00:48:57.000He's a Confucius-looking wise old Chinese elder.
00:49:41.000All more appealing, I think, and frankly, yeah, might ensure more moral and judicious use of them.
00:49:50.000Did you see when Mike Johnson was being announced as new speaker that Virginia Foxx with two X's really was like protecting him and I think was a little too assertive.
00:50:02.000Have a little look at this while you continue to tell me how do you want your AI overlords to look when they drive us into our cells in probably less than a decade.
00:50:56.000She just heckles people into total compliance.
00:51:00.000When we asked you what stories you'd like to see, Kirk Theo said he would like to see the story about the... Can I see the post on the screen on my right, please, guys?
00:51:10.000Apparently it's a new terrifying nuclear weapon.
00:51:13.000So the screen on my right, can I see the post that leads to that?
00:51:31.000The existential threat of a nuclear conflict is no longer a Cold War memory, but nine states armed with atomic bombs that are an average 20 to 30 times stronger than those dropped in the Second World War.
00:51:57.000The two bombs were used to destroy the Japanese nuclear weapons.
00:51:59.000It was a great time for global diplomacy when that happened.
00:52:03.000It's astonishing, isn't it, that now there's a bomb that's 20 times more powerful.
00:52:08.000I've heard it argued, and without giving too much away, you know that we're doing a festive special with Tucker.
00:52:17.000This is a matter that we will be discussing.
00:52:21.000When was it that our civilization started to collapse?
00:52:24.000When was it when we went in the wrong direction?
00:52:26.000Was it when we annihilated entire nations?
00:52:30.000Or was it when we made intelligent AI robots that looked like toasters and dogs?
00:52:35.000Tom's little boy and fat man exploded with a combined destructive power of more than 30 kilotons of energy.
00:52:42.000It's a paling comparison to the weapons in modern nuclear arsenals.
00:52:47.000Despite the devastation and worldwide shock following the bombings of Japan, U.S.
00:52:52.000interest in such explosives persisted.
00:52:55.000The B-83 is the highest-yielding nuclear weapon in America's arsenal.
00:53:00.000It's 80 times more powerful than Little Boy, and 650 of them are in active service.
00:53:06.000It's good that they're still using the names like Fat Man and Little Boy after we now know, like those were the kind of code names prior to the devastation.
00:53:16.000But like, Little Boy is still pretty good there at 14 kilotons, but this is 1.2 megatons.
00:53:21.000It's still been slightly, I would say, reduced to a kind of terrifying sport.
00:53:28.000The global nuclear arms race reached a climax with the test of Russia's Tsar Bomba, a hydrogen aerial bomb produced during the Soviet era and detonated in 1961.
00:53:38.000Its force, 3,333 times that of Little Boy.
00:53:40.000It's force, 3,333 times that of Little Boy.
00:53:45.000Now, the explosion was felt nearly a thousand kilometers away.
00:53:49.000Six decades after the Tsar Bomba was deployed, no single device has matched its destructive power.
00:53:56.000The would-be era of super bombs may now be unfamiliar, but their power, if there to be used, cannot be underestimated.
00:54:05.000This ain't making me feel optimistic, is it you?
00:54:08.000Like, with the number of potential opportunities, with the escalations in the Middle East that are already devastating and heartbreaking, with the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, the potential for those two discrete conflicts to emesh, certainly that's the way they're being funded, a potential new war with China.
00:54:29.000Yeah, Dr. Strangelove is right, Yorkshire Dream.
00:54:34.000I wonder what kind of radical transition is going to be required in order to prevent this happening.
00:54:39.000ghost chants says everyone should stop paying taxes until every politician is
00:54:44.000audited. Zero of such an explosion will result in immediate casualties a
00:54:49.000radioactive fireball would vaporize anyone in the blast zone. The weapons
00:54:55.000used in Japan leveled the land for thousands of hectares and killed an
00:54:59.000estimated more than 200,000 people. As for survivors of a nuclear explosion
00:55:05.000radiation exposure can cause burns or sickness days weeks or months later
00:55:11.000We did a story, the killer gorilla sweet sexy death.
00:55:16.000We did a story last week where it said like economic opportunities presented by world war three.
00:55:21.000When you see that it makes you It makes you realize that we've lost touch with reality.
00:55:27.000Not only a deep spiritual reality, that's long gone, but even actual physical material reality.
00:56:13.000Wouldn't it be favourable for us individually and collectively to attain a new frequency of consciousness so we could transcend as we once did from primate-like creatures to the divine levels of, I would say, the always accessible domain of God attained by our kind?
00:56:32.000Wouldn't it be better for us to elevate once more, to move forward once again, Rather than descend into the nuclear ash.
00:56:40.000Also, some people are... Sticker Mule is great.
00:56:42.000It just takes a while to get a sticker.
00:57:21.000Climate change is certainly... You're gonna need 15-minute cities because your cities are now made of ash and rubble and your legs have melted.
00:58:11.000That's the story that you were talking about.
00:58:13.000Pulling the strings says US politicians could simply be called warlords and Beth in Wonderland said we need to go back to the morning Bible reading after this.
00:58:21.000This morning, if you're an awakened wonder, we did a beautiful, beautiful Bible reading together.
00:58:28.000We do that in our awakened wonder community and we're gonna do it again tomorrow.
00:58:34.000People in the chat, yeah, we're doing it again tomorrow, like Blessed Old Bird, and a lot of the guys in the chat, Achela Lear, were... Achela, my heart is tensing with pain!
00:58:43.000Well, you know, what kind of health choices have you made lately?
01:00:23.000Is there anything else that I could put?
01:00:25.000Someone just posted a link in the Rumble chat, but it ain't healthy to just click on a YouTube link without looking at our receipts, because it's impossible to know what you guys might lead us to all.
01:00:37.000Did you see our conversation, by the way, with Brett Weinstein last week?
01:00:41.000Rocky Mountain Magpie says, everything in life seems to be more about profit now.
01:00:47.000Yeah, we had a good conversation about God and spiritual awakening versus rationalism.
01:00:53.000We talked about some of the areas where we disagree as well as the many areas where we agree.
01:00:59.000And also, Doodle Mama says, is there anywhere left in the world where people can live free of the tyranny of the WHO and the New World Order?
01:01:42.000as centralised powers are able to coalesce resources and align forces, The rest of us are in real trouble unless we are able to master new models of subsidiarity, which you've heard Jordan Peterson talk a lot about on our show, as well as Brett.
01:02:29.000If we don't do that, if we spend our time even on the chat here quarrelling, I'm gonna use the word quarrelling, about religious differences, we'll be in trouble.
01:02:38.000Doodle Mama says, get Naomi Wolf on the show.
01:03:40.000We're going to be talking about the revolving door between the FDA and Moderna and then later in the week, my God, when you see the absolute lunacy that is brought to us by Dave Martin.
