00:00:00.000 I'm a black man and I could never be a veteran. 0.79

00:00:29.000 Rock you, boss! 0.72

00:00:30.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:00:38.000 We're going to the breaking news.

00:00:44.000 We've got a live shot there.

00:00:49.000 Hello there you awakening wonders, it's Thursday and as yet Jesus Christ has not returned to earth, but we need you Jesus!

00:00:57.000 Come back, let us know in the chat and comments if our Lord Jesus has made himself clear, plain to you through some sort of apparition.

00:01:04.000 Doesn't count if it's in toast, doesn't count if it's in the cloud, or an actual Yes, it certainly is.

00:01:09.000 incarnate emanating light to change the world because we need it. Do them Trump documents

00:01:15.000 show an intention to invade Iran? Is Rand Paul ratcheting it up a little bit, gal?

00:01:20.000 He is. He certainly is.

00:01:22.000 Is he ratcheting it up a bit? Oh no you didn't, Rand. You didn't just go there in Bill Gates

00:01:27.000 world, did you? I certainly did.

00:01:28.000 Rand goes to Gates land because a lot of people aren't willing to start saying in public,

00:01:33.000 Bill Gates and Fauci were costly contributors to the pandemic.

00:01:38.000 It's Thursday.

00:01:39.000 You tell us in the chat right now, what do you think the role of Bill Gates was in the pandemic?

00:01:45.000 What do you think Fauci's influence was?

00:01:47.000 Benign or malign?

00:01:49.000 If you're watching us on Rumble right now, press the red button and join us on Locals.

00:01:52.000 That's our community.

00:01:54.000 We've got a community.

00:01:55.000 That's what people need, isn't it, Gal?

00:01:56.000 Community?

00:01:57.000 That's right.

00:01:57.000 If you're watching this on YouTube or Twitter or something so young and modern I ain't even heard of it yet... Tweet!

00:02:04.000 Say you're... For all I know, you're watching this on Twitch.

00:02:07.000 For all I know, you're extraterrestrial nation watching this in the future.

00:02:11.000 You got it out when them pods people used to do.

00:02:12.000 Don't do that so much now, do we?

00:02:14.000 No.

00:02:14.000 Like pods for the future.

00:02:15.000 They were always doing that when I was a kid.

00:02:16.000 We're gonna bury this in the pods for the future now.

00:02:19.000 We ain't got a future!

00:02:20.000 If you've got something, don't put it in a pot, sell it!

00:02:23.000 Sell it before the Mad Max apocalypse times are upon you-ly!

00:02:27.000 So, uh, yeah, um, hold on a minute, I've got some really vital and important points to make, yeah.

00:02:32.000 Rand Paul!

00:02:33.000 Rand Paul!

00:02:34.000 We want Rand Paul on this show.

00:02:36.000 If you know Rand, or if you are Rand, look at yourself now.

00:02:38.000 Oh yeah, I am Rand.

00:02:40.000 If you are Rand, come on!

00:02:41.000 Come on, and we want to talk to you about this stuff, because even though he's a Republican, isn't he?

00:02:45.000 Yep.

00:02:46.000 And didn't he have some shares in some sort of pharmaceutical company?

00:02:48.000 Oh, we won't get into that.

00:02:49.000 It's not as bad as other people's.

00:02:51.000 Because I think he's a good independent political voice and if there's going to be change within the system it's going to come from alliances from people from the left and the right that are willing to challenge establishment authority and Rand Paul is willing to do that.

00:03:02.000 I like his hair, it's like a baby's hair. 0.69

00:03:04.000 In terms of like that alliance you just said then, there were moments a few weeks ago, a couple of months ago, where Rand Paul and him and Bernie Sanders were both interrogating the boss of Moderna and he was like, No, look, working together.

00:03:16.000 You're charging too much for your vaccines, they were saying, weren't they?

00:03:19.000 They were saying stuff like that.

00:03:20.000 Allegedly.

00:03:21.000 Might be a reasonable price for a booster.

00:03:23.000 Everyone needs a little boost once in a while, and some people are willing to pay through the snout hole for it.

00:03:29.000 So, um, we've talked about that, Rand Paul.

00:03:32.000 I'm doing a bit of yoga later.

00:03:33.000 Stay with me for that.

00:03:34.000 Why are you laughing, folks?

00:03:35.000 I've hurt.

00:03:35.000 I'm trying my hardest.

00:03:36.000 I'm trying to get through my life.

00:03:37.000 I'm just a human being.

00:03:38.000 I've got a digestive system just like anybody else.

00:03:40.000 I've got all sorts of systems that I'm running simultaneously.

00:03:43.000 I'm breathing.

00:03:43.000 I'm digesting.

00:03:44.000 Cells are being created.

00:03:45.000 I'm in tune with subtle realms.

00:03:47.000 I'm doing my very best.

00:03:48.000 Let's have a look at this.

00:03:49.000 And oh, by the way...

00:03:50.000 Like once we, like, because I've got to tell these people, my on-screen assistant, my friend, like you might be watching us on YouTube, in a minute we're going to go and rumble because we told you during the pandemic that powerful political figures were not obeying their own rules and regulations and well now we know for an absolute fact that they weren't.

00:04:08.000 While you were watching funerals on YouTube, while you were missing the birth of your baby, while you were losing jobs and losing your mind, They were having the jingle bell mingle.

00:04:18.000 This is during tier three.

00:04:19.000 Do you remember tier three?

00:04:20.000 Tier three said things like, do not move a muscle, you'll kill a nan right up her lung pipe. 1.00

00:04:26.000 And they were jingling and mingling during that.

00:04:29.000 Look at this.

00:04:29.000 Like this is tier three.

00:04:31.000 You're prohibited from socializing with anybody you do not live with or have not formed a support bubble with, support bubble, in any indoor setting, private gardens or most hospitality venues.

00:04:42.000 You are not going to believe this video that we're going to bring you when you see the powerful boogieing on down while you were locked up in your home.

00:04:50.000 But there's no room for any systemic change.

00:04:53.000 Everything's fine.

00:04:54.000 Just keep voting.

00:04:55.000 Just keep handing over your tax money.

00:04:58.000 Barack Obama, he ain't handing over his income tax.

00:05:00.000 He's getting advice on how to avoid laws that he helped pass.

00:05:04.000 Before we get into all of that, and by God, you've heard,

00:05:06.000 there's a hell of a lot happening.

00:05:07.000 It's a crazy world we're living in.

00:05:09.000 We're gonna have a little look at Rand Paul.

00:05:11.000 And Rand, if you're out there, and we know you are, come on our show.

00:05:15.000 And if you've got access to Rand, make sure he sees this video.

00:05:17.000 Look how nice we're being about Rand.

00:05:19.000 Right, here's Rand on Fox, questioning Bill Gates and Fauci

00:05:23.000 and their role as architects to the pandemic response and whether or not they benefited in ways

00:05:27.000 other than, of course, helping everyone, which is always their main motivation.

00:05:31.000 You know that now.

00:05:31.000 That's what billionaires do, isn't it?

00:05:33.000 And bureaucrats.

00:05:33.000 They help us.

00:05:34.000 Thanks.

00:05:35.000 Thanks for your help that's made you so rich.

00:05:38.000 You must have helped us to be that rich.

00:05:40.000 You must have helped me so hard.

00:05:42.000 You must have helped me so hard in my privates.

00:05:45.000 Let's have a look at Rand Paul on Fox right now.

00:05:48.000 But we all know that Communist China covered it up initially.

00:05:51.000 How are you going to get the truth now?

00:05:53.000 They won't even allow an investigation into the Wuhan lab.

00:05:58.000 Yeah, it's not easy and they haven't been forthcoming.

00:06:00.000 I think the only way to convince them is that it won't all be about blaming them because we participated in funding this.

00:06:07.000 The blame equally should go not only to Chinese authorities but to Anthony Fauci and all those who advocated for this.

00:06:13.000 But there has to be a reassessment.

00:06:15.000 Look, Bill Gates has been over there recently.

00:06:17.000 Bill Gates is the largest funder of trying to find these viruses in remote caves and bring them to big cities.

00:06:23.000 So what happened in China is they... A beautiful way of framing it, that's part of what gain-of-function research requires, finding novel viruses that as yet haven't made an interspecial jump, experimenting with them in order, supposedly, apparently, and most plainly and overtly in order to create a vaccine for a disease that doesn't exist yet. 0.90

00:06:43.000 Just if some stories are to be believed.

00:06:46.000 I'm talking about Schellenberger's recent revelations on this show that the Wuhan... Sorry, why did I call it the Wuhan virus?

00:06:54.000 The coronavirus began in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which I think is in... China.

00:07:00.000 Yes, that's where it is.

00:07:01.000 And I heard that the first three people Who, you, and Zoo were all working in that lab.

00:07:10.000 Don't be childish.

00:07:12.000 And so, if Fauci, of course, because under Barack Obama, gain-of-function research was banned in the United States, so they transferred it to a little old place, might have heard of it, called Wuhan.

00:07:22.000 And indeed, it seems that Bill Gates, and we can't prove this, and we've got to be careful about this, haven't we?

00:07:28.000 Especially on YouTube.

00:07:29.000 Rand Paul is saying, and we've got no reason to doubt him, I don't think, that Bill Gates is the number one- His research.

00:07:34.000 He's funding it.

00:07:35.000 That's what he's saying.

00:07:36.000 Certainly, he significantly funds the WHO.

00:07:39.000 88% of its total philanthropic donations come from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

00:07:45.000 Certainly, Bill Gates set up the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization.

00:07:49.000 $750 million he put into that.

00:07:52.000 For the first part of his life, it was all paperclips and windows, wasn't it?

00:07:54.000 It was all about... He helped us in a much more mercantile and observably profitable way.

00:07:59.000 Now, Bill Gates' help has moved in a much more diffuse And yet still helpful forms, mostly medicines, isn't it?

00:08:07.000 Yeah.

00:08:08.000 I thought it was interesting how he started there and kind of not buying into the anti-China narrative, which you could say that maybe would be, you know, the kind of typical thing that Fox would do.

00:08:18.000 It's certainly something that he's complained about himself in terms of members of his own party.

00:08:24.000 Who are, you know, in terms of, like, war with China, beating the drums, I think he said last week.

00:08:30.000 But his point about, like, Bill Gates and Fauci, I mean, when you look into that, we obviously, we want to investigate further.

00:08:38.000 Having him on the show would be great to find out what the details are about Bill Gates funding this kind of function research.

00:08:45.000 But if you look at it in terms of, like, the cause of the pandemic, we now know because of Michael Shellenberg and Matt Taibbi, Can you have more than one patient zero?

00:08:53.000 who Fauci was a head of, funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan that led to patient zeros

00:08:57.000 and then potentially the start of this pandemic.

00:09:00.000 Can you have more than one patient zero or is that like a really bad combo on a padlock?

00:09:07.000 When 8 to 10 hours south of Wuhan, 2 to 300 feet deep into a cave, found viruses and took

00:09:14.000 them back to a city of 15 million.

00:09:16.000 There are many, many scientists who think that Bill Gates is wrong in funding this, that our government's wrong, that the Chinese government What do you think?

00:09:24.000 Do you agree with Rand Paul?

00:09:25.000 Do you want that kind of research done?

00:09:27.000 It seems to me that it's the very kind of topic that should be exposed to the searing heat of democracy.

00:09:34.000 Do you want gain-of-function research or do you want bureaucrats and billionaires deciding that you want gain-of-function research, funding it, potentially profiting from it, even though it sounds risky and potentially that risk has already been realized in the last three years?

00:09:49.000 Let me know in the chat where you stand on that and Is this a matter for an evolved democracy?

00:09:54.000 Isn't it interesting as well, the way these issues are continually framed?

00:09:57.000 It reminds me of a story that we're going to be doing in a little bit, and of course, everyone's covering Trump and the secret boxes.

00:10:03.000 People talk about, oh, why has Trump got those boxes?

00:10:05.000 But isn't the more important subject, what is in the boxes?

00:10:08.000 If there's plans for a war, then that's the story, really.

00:10:11.000 And when it comes to a matter like gain-of-function research and whether this virus began in a bat cave, in a wet market, in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, One of the neglected narratives is should this even be happening?

00:10:26.000 And who benefits from this happening?

00:10:29.000 And aren't we right now in a time where we're interrogating the validity and veracity of our systems of government and commerce?

00:10:38.000 And isn't this the very kind of idea that should be scrutinized?

00:10:40.000 Let me know in the chat because I'm genuinely interested if you're like, no we've got to have our Precious gain-of-function research.

00:10:47.000 It's not the NFL.

00:10:48.000 It's not the Premier League.

00:10:49.000 It's not like part of our culture that we just can't give up, is it?

00:10:52.000 It's not the MTV Awards, which we all know is where the great presenters shine most brightly, don't we?

00:10:57.000 We do know that.

00:10:58.000 I've always agreed that.

00:10:59.000 I think the other important point about this is that, you know, highlighting Bill Gates and Fauci might seem a bit like, well, is it really just those two?

00:11:07.000 And it can maybe feel a bit like, well, you know, you can't just blame two people.

00:11:11.000 But we know If Michael Schellenberg is correct that Fauci was involved through the NIH in the funding of this in Wuhan that could have led to the whole pandemic starting.

00:11:19.000 We know that both of those were involved in the explanation of it.

00:11:22.000 They were sending emails that were redacted and uncovered by Jimmy Tobias of The Intercept and other journalists who found that they were, in terms of the proximal origins theory, encouraging this idea that this started in a wet market.

00:11:35.000 Well they were themselves discussing the possibility that it had a clinical origin and closing down that line of inquiry perhaps precisely because gain-of-function research is risky and are we now experiencing those risks and how irresponsible those that have conducted it have been.

00:11:56.000 It shouldn't perhaps be happening in the first place.

00:11:58.000 We also know obviously that the last part of that is that they were both involved in the pandemic response.

00:12:03.000 Fauci obviously few His role, which we all know about, and Bill Gates through the WHO and Carvey.

00:12:08.000 It was all over the TV, Winnie Fowchee, every ten minutes, telling you to put this on and take that off and stand over there.

00:12:13.000 And let me tell you, the British government were happy to stand behind podiums with flags behind them, advocating for you to sit down and shut up as usual.

00:12:22.000 Miss your job or attend your job, depending on what economic class you exist within, were themselves ignoring their own advice.

00:12:29.000 Why?

00:12:30.000 It's Christmastime.

00:12:31.000 You gotta mingle and jingle at Christmastime, haven't ya?

00:12:34.000 Do you remember that?

00:12:34.000 When, like, in our country, you might not know this.

00:12:36.000 Let me know if you're watching this in the UK, by the way, so as we can, you know, be British together and have bad teeth and talk all cockney.

00:12:42.000 But do you remember when Boris Johnson said, oh, you know, we're not going to cancel Christmas?

00:12:47.000 Then we are going to cancel Christmas.

00:12:48.000 But what difference did it make to them?

00:12:49.000 Because they didn't cancel their own Christmas.

00:12:52.000 We're going to be exclusively discussing that on Rumble, because unbelievably, we have to censor ourselves when we're attacking the establishment.

00:13:00.000 Indeed, we believe that's what the censorship industrial complex is primarily about.

00:13:04.000 It's not about protecting you from harmful information, like we might advise you to take a tablet that's going to give you a bunion.

00:13:10.000 It's much more likely we're going to give you an opinion that's going to make you less compliant.

00:13:15.000 What do you think?

00:13:15.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:13:16.000 Have you noticed what the elite establishments seem to be most interested in?

00:13:21.000 Is it your safety?

00:13:22.000 Or is it your compliance?

00:13:23.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:13:24.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:13:25.000 And while we're on that subject, they're collecting your data in unique and nefarious ways.

00:13:31.000 Because it's illegal for the state to spy on you, because Edward Snowden exposed the level to which they were spying on you, because Julian Assange, a resident of Belmarsh here in the UK, without trial currently, Revealed how your government's actions abroad are at odds perhaps with your own domestic requirements.

00:13:48.000 We are, excuse me, still discussing the ways that they access your data.

00:13:52.000 It seems the government are purchasing private data from private companies in order to skirt round various regulations and rules to prevent them spying on you.

00:14:01.000 Now you remember during the pandemic when they said that the vaccine passports were only a temporal measure and it's not going to lead to social credit scoring?

00:14:09.000 Remember the ways and the breadth of their deception and their lies?

00:14:12.000 Well it seems now that they're acquiring private data by purchasing it from private companies.

00:14:17.000 Can you tell us a bit more about this, Gareth, the scope and scale?

00:14:19.000 Is it sort of just the US?

00:14:21.000 It's the US at the moment, but you're absolutely right.

00:14:23.000 Yeah, government agencies tend to have to navigate an array of laws that prevents them from tracking Americans without like a warrant or a court order.

00:14:31.000 In this case, there aren't any legal restrictions on private companies that buy, repackage and

00:14:36.000 sell personal data.

00:14:37.000 We've talked about it before with mainstream media and we've talked about how those corporations

00:14:44.000 themselves package and sell your data.

00:14:47.000 So another way in which the kind of irony of the mainstream media coming and telling

00:14:50.000 us about all these things that are dangerous, whilst not telling us about the wars that

00:14:54.000 are dangerous, they're also packaging and selling off your data to the government.

00:14:58.000 That's why they can't accurately report on the scale of data capture and the way that your data is used because they are some of the primary beneficiaries of being able to bundle and sell your data more even than, and I don't like to say this word in mixed company, more than pornography sites.

00:15:14.000 Not that I use them.

00:15:15.000 Not that I use them.

00:15:16.000 I merely went onto that pornography site to see if whether or not it captured my data.

00:15:21.000 And it didn't capture nearly so much as it as CNN or MSNBC or Fox because hey they're all the same if you ask me baby.

00:15:28.000 The thing is what the government will come back and say is oh it's not you know we don't know private things but this is a government report that has revealed commercially purchased data can reveal sensitive and intimate information about the personal attribute attributes private behavior social connections and speech of U.S.

00:15:43.000 persons and non-U.S.

00:15:44.000 persons.

00:15:45.000 What about my private Well, plenty I would imagine in your case.

00:15:48.000 I ain't done that and be ashamed of!

00:15:50.000 I was only, as I said, I was looking at that porn site simply as research and I went straight

00:15:55.000 over AMSNBC who I know will take care of me and will protect me from information that

00:16:00.000 would stop my think box from its hurty-bads.

00:16:03.000 Let's have a look at the mainstream...

00:16:05.000 Just to jump in quickly.

00:16:06.000 Why?

00:16:06.000 Because, you know, we had recently, of course, the way that this was all being talked about with relation to TikTok and China, and we know why that's being used, to that anti-China narrative.

00:16:16.000 To go back to what Rand Paul said at the start, this kind of anti-China narrative that will escalate tensions.

00:16:21.000 You're creating a macro narrative about the relationship between the US and China that played out when they were saying that TikTok's dangerous, but then really what we think they were saying is use TikTok to carry our message.

00:16:32.000 But also, We're doing just as bad.

00:16:33.000 You know, we talk about TikTok spying on American citizens.

00:16:36.000 You ain't no better at TikTok!

00:16:37.000 You ain't no better in it!

00:16:38.000 Let's have a look at this story.

00:16:39.000 This is a mad-looking news story called The Bottom Line with Dagan Duffy.

00:16:43.000 He's a bloody good broadcaster.

00:16:45.000 Actually, I don't know which one's Dagan Duffy.

00:16:46.000 Is it him or her?

00:16:48.000 Who cares? 1.00

00:16:48.000 They're both nuts. 1.00

00:16:49.000 I don't know if you've seen them before. 0.99

00:16:50.000 Have a look at them.

00:16:51.000 Your personal data is up for sale, and... I like it, baby!

00:16:57.000 See, that sounds like Cher in that Bubble Voice song. 1.00

00:16:59.000 Yeah, a bit like that.

00:17:00.000 If I could turn back time... Yeah, what's the other one?

00:17:03.000 The more modern one that she did?

00:17:04.000 Can't break free... That one.

00:17:06.000 Oh, I wish I had... Hold on a sec.

00:17:06.000 That's it.

00:17:08.000 Wait, it's worth it.

00:17:11.000 This'll be good.

00:17:11.000 I can't break free...

00:17:16.000 Let's get back to the news.

00:17:16.000 Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it.

00:17:17.000 It's being bought by spy agencies at the federal government.

00:17:22.000 A report released by the director of national intelligence reveals that US intel, military

00:17:29.000 and federal law enforcement agencies are buying and selling personal information.

00:17:33.000 So they're buying it from them probably.

00:17:35.000 They're buying it from Fox, MSNBC, CNN.

00:17:38.000 These people are not your friends.

00:17:40.000 There's Terrence McKenna, the great, late Terrence McKenna, that psychonaut, that ethnobotanist, that genius of the plant mind would say.

00:17:46.000 The culture is not your friend.

00:17:49.000 Of course the culture generates magnificent things.

00:17:51.000 It created Jimi Hendrix, it created David Bowie, It created John Updike, it created thousands of geniuses, it created you and me together right now.

00:17:59.000 But, ultimately, what is the function of a culture?

00:18:01.000 It is to contain you, condition you, to conform you, to institutionalise you, and to make you passive.

00:18:06.000 Now listen, we're going to leave you now on YouTube, or Twitch, or Twitter, or social bot, or hand clap, or truth social, whoever the hell you're watching this, to show you what you've long believed.

00:18:18.000 Now you're going to want to click on the link.

00:18:20.000 Click that link in the description to join us on the home of Free Speech Baby, which is Rumble, to have a look at exactly what parties the Powerful were conducting while they were telling you to sit down, mask up, and shut up before you coronavirus-ed lovely old grandma.

00:18:37.000 Look at what they were doing.

00:18:38.000 In the background of their parties, you can see their signs saying, stand two meters apart, While they're agadooing and boogieing on down in a conga of absolute deception and treachery.

00:18:49.000 Join us only on Rumble.

00:18:50.000 We cannot show you this stuff.

00:18:52.000 It's too explosive.

00:18:53.000 It's gonna... It's gonna incite revolution, this.

00:18:55.000 It's gonna incite revolution.

00:18:56.000 I told you.

00:18:57.000 I told you that you'd incite revolution.

00:18:58.000 Join us right now on Rumble.

00:19:00.000 Are we off yet, Cal?

00:19:01.000 Because I'm... I don't... Are we off?

00:19:02.000 Are we off?

00:19:03.000 Are we safe?

00:19:04.000 Right, okay.

00:19:05.000 Let's have a look at this.

00:19:06.000 So this is, like, in this country, this is... Some cheese and wine?

00:19:08.000 Yeah, why not? 0.98

00:19:10.000 Why don't we spit in each other's mouths, for God's sake? 1.00

00:19:12.000 Who's to say that these pandemic rules are doing anything at all? 0.93

00:19:15.000 I mean, look, I know what a lot of you think.

00:19:17.000 Tell me in the chat right now.

00:19:18.000 A lot of you think, like, oh, so they weren't scared then.

00:19:22.000 So why aren't they scared?

00:19:24.000 That's, like, a big key point here.

00:19:26.000 No, they should be bloody scared. 0.99

00:19:28.000 Look at how rubbish their parties are. 0.97

00:19:30.000 Look at how, like, they firstly look like the British office, which is the original office. 0.93

00:19:34.000 I hate to remind you that we invented your language and a good majority of your culture. 1.00

00:19:37.000 Let's have a look at, um, this is the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's administration partying on down, while the rest of us were not mixing with other households, staying apart, maximum of six.

00:19:52.000 Watch out for, you know, schools, that could kill a nan. 1.00

00:19:55.000 Overnight stays, that could kill a grandad.

00:19:57.000 Old uncle could be killed by a place of worship if it's outside of your support bubble. 0.91

00:20:02.000 You could... A lovely old uncle could be folded up like a bloody deck chair.

00:20:06.000 But look at what this lot were doing throughout the whole farrago.

00:20:09.000 This footage belongs to Daily Mirror, which is a type of newspaper, I suppose, reflecting you back at you.

00:20:14.000 That's right.

00:20:15.000 It's what I suppose it's claiming to do.

00:20:16.000 Let's have a look.

00:20:18.000 I feel very happy about that.

00:20:33.000 That looks like it's taking place in a care home, actually.

00:20:35.000 They don't look well, those two people.

00:20:37.000 Are they fully compliant?

00:20:39.000 They're Boris Johnson aides.

00:20:40.000 They work for dear Boris?

00:20:41.000 Yeah.

00:20:42.000 He wants to work on his job interview process.

00:20:42.000 Hmm.

00:20:45.000 They're out of hand, aren't they, the pair of them?

00:20:47.000 Well, they're probably very drunk.

00:20:48.000 That's what it is.

00:20:49.000 They're drunk.

00:20:50.000 Why don't they change the lighting for the party as well?

00:20:53.000 I don't know.

00:20:54.000 You're not going to cop off with no one in that kind of lighting.

00:20:57.000 Well, maybe Boris Johnson, because as you know, he has a long litany of illegitimate children.

00:21:03.000 Too many to name, I think.

00:21:04.000 Well, not name.

00:21:04.000 They've probably named him.

00:21:05.000 I mean, what, it's amazing actually that it was so bright, because you'd think that they'd be a bit more secretive about it.

00:21:10.000 Turn the lights down, we're not meant to be doing this, but no, brazen!

00:21:13.000 Brazen!

00:21:14.000 Light as you like!

00:21:15.000 So then they were going out, that was the same day that our health minister at the time, Matt Hancock was his name, went on the telly saying, this is really serious, wasn't it?

00:21:24.000 Get into tier 3 restrictions.

00:21:26.000 We're getting a tier 3 now, we're having to go up a tier, I hate doing this.

00:21:29.000 Yeah, jingle to, yeah he'd said, uh, to contain the surging number of COVID infections.

00:21:36.000 My god.

00:21:37.000 Was that really, really embarrassing for the government?

00:21:40.000 And I suppose my analysis of that is, you know what you think about your government?

00:21:43.000 That they're pretending they're there to help you and serve you,

00:21:45.000 but in fact they're there to control you and serve corporate interests,

00:21:48.000 and deep down they don't believe in their own rules or obey their own rules,

00:21:51.000 because they have access to information that they would prevent you from seeing.

00:21:55.000 Well, there you go.

00:21:56.000 It's observably, palpably, plainly true.

00:22:00.000 If we had more sense, if we had more dignity, if we had more stamina, if we had the ability to communicate and stay awake, we simply wouldn't tolerate it, would we?

00:22:07.000 We would demand fairer, better systems of government.

00:22:10.000 Do you know what will happen with this?

00:22:11.000 It will be used by the opposition party, who will be more or less the same.

00:22:15.000 They might be a little bit nicer around a few issues, but they'll be basically the same.

00:22:19.000 I think, you know, the twin story to this, to go back to what we started with and ran Paul, is that, you know, similar time to this, Anthony Fauci and members of the Bill Gates Foundation were creating the proximal origins theory to basically quell any idea that this came out of a lab and that the US funding had anything to do with it.

00:22:40.000 And so what you've got is, in this country, uh your government telling you you know you need to be locked down because this is really serious um and what you know we care we care about you um and in the united states you know both sides are essentially lying to us one is like saying um it's a this came out of nature and because it came out of nature there's nothing that we could have done about it and there's nothing that we could know about this and you just stay at home and we'll sort out a solution to this whereas actually what we know is

00:23:11.000 What's happening is these guys were partying and in America they were coming up with a whole different narrative.

00:23:16.000 So let me know in the chat right now if you have had your faith in democracy shaken a little harder.

00:23:24.000 Still to come is Adrienne Mishler from Yoga With Adrienne, one of the most influential figures in the world of yoga.

00:23:30.000 Please hit the red join button and come to Locals with your yoga mat and put your question to Adrienne at the end of the stream.

00:23:38.000 Now though, another story that helps us to understand the ways in which the brinkmanship of media narrativisation operates.

00:23:48.000 We are in the midst of a great scandal where there is an attempt to indict Trump, presumably to prevent Trump running again, on the basis of his possession of boxes of secret documents.

00:24:00.000 But what is in those boxes?

00:24:02.000 Apparently, As we heard yesterday, golf shoes and golf shirts and golf memorabilia.

00:24:08.000 That's part of it.

00:24:09.000 But also, potentially and perhaps more interestingly, although equally interestingly, plans to invade Iran, which seems extraordinary.

00:24:18.000 Here's the news. 0.99

00:24:19.000 No, here's the fucking news. 1.00

00:24:22.000 No, here's the fucking news! 1.00

00:24:27.000 What's in the boxes? 1.00

00:24:28.000 Stop talking about the fact that he's got boxes!

00:24:31.000 What's in the boxes?

00:24:33.000 Is it plans for a war with Iran?

00:24:36.000 What's in the box?

00:24:38.000 We live in a world where people will censor Trump's post-arraignment speech.

00:24:43.000 Also, we're fetishizing the fact that Trump has got these boxes.

00:24:47.000 How dare he take those boxes?

00:24:48.000 It's a transgression.

00:24:50.000 It's awful.

00:24:50.000 We can't have the contents of those boxes revealed.

00:24:52.000 Why?

00:24:53.000 That would give the Russians or the Chinese or whoever we are supposed to hate this week a terrible advantage in their ongoing potential perennial war against us. 0.99

00:25:00.000 Or is there a possibility?

00:25:02.000 And just let me know in the comments if you agree.

00:25:03.000 But contained within Trump's boxes are plans for a war against Iran.

00:25:08.000 Has been alleged in some quarters.

00:25:10.000 If that's true, that's more important and indeed chimes quite nicely with the previous revelations under Cheney, Bush et al.

00:25:18.000 There was a global imperialist plan for the next American century to invade Iraq.

00:25:24.000 Done.

00:25:24.000 Afghanistan.

00:25:25.000 North Korea.

00:25:25.000 Done.

00:25:26.000 Working on it and Iran.

00:25:27.000 Let me know in the comments where you stand on this story.

00:25:30.000 And let's have a look, first of all, to get started, let's have a look at MSNBC's decision not to broadcast Trump.

00:25:35.000 They have such a complex relationship with Trump, don't they?

00:25:37.000 Oh, we've got to show Trump, but not too much Trump.

00:25:40.000 Can't we just cut off a bit of Trump and have it in the corner when we're talking about how bad Joe Rogan is or something?

00:25:46.000 We just need a bit of Trump, but not too much Trump.

00:25:48.000 There's always the mainstream Trump tipping point.

00:25:51.000 You know, guys, I don't think Trump is the solution to your problems.

00:25:53.000 I know loads do.

00:25:54.000 Let me know in the comments.

00:25:54.000 But they need enough Trump because no one will watch us if we don't show Trump.

00:25:58.000 Not too much Trump, he's bloody appealing.

00:26:00.000 Aaaaaah! 0.95

00:26:01.000 The Trump paradox.

00:26:03.000 Now tonight, after his arraignment on federal felony charges, he's speaking again, this

00:26:06.000 time to an audience of his supporters that's gathered for a campaign fundraiser tonight

00:26:11.000 at his golf club and summer home in New Jersey.

00:26:16.000 We knew heading into this that he was planning to make these remarks.

00:26:19.000 We are prepared for his pre-fundraiser remarks tonight to again be essentially a Trump campaign speech.

00:26:26.000 Because of that, we do not intend to carry these remarks live.

00:26:29.000 I can't.

00:26:30.000 We cannot trust you to judge Trump for yourself.

00:26:33.000 What they say about Trump, this guy is so alluring.

00:26:33.000 It's mad, isn't it?

00:26:36.000 If you hear him, it's going to blow your mind.

00:26:37.000 I mean, it's pretty funny and stuff, but I think I can sort of like keep a clear head.

00:26:41.000 I'm not like going, oh, I didn't get it.

00:26:43.000 Ah!

00:26:44.000 Tell me what to do, boss.

00:26:45.000 It's extraordinary, isn't it?

00:26:46.000 Because we know that MSNBC's attitude to censorship Fluctuates.

00:26:50.000 They were very happy to carry certain messages around the vaccines which have since been plainly, objectively, scientifically disproven.

00:26:57.000 You know how they covered Russiagate, the idea that Trump, who they're plainly obsessed with, was peed on and that he essentially was an agent for Russian interests.

00:27:06.000 It was never credible and they were happy to carry that all the time.

00:27:06.000 That's been disproven.

00:27:10.000 So when Maddow talks about the responsibility of the media to convey truthful information, It's just, isn't it the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard?

00:27:16.000 Is there anyone now, alive, that thinks that the mainstream media isn't essentially there to amplify their preferred perspective and ignore information that contradicts it?

00:27:25.000 That's what they do, isn't it?

00:27:26.000 If they're right-leaning, they'll amplify Republican messaging.

00:27:30.000 If they're left-leaning, they'll amplify Democratic messaging.

00:27:33.000 No one will amplify this message.

00:27:35.000 You cannot trust either of those parties.

00:27:38.000 They're both owned by corporate interests that are globalist in their nature.

00:27:42.000 If you don't demand decentralized democracy, your lives and the lives of your children will be a form of mediated penury and slavery.

00:27:50.000 As we have said before in these circumstances, there is a cost to us as a news organization to knowingly broadcast untrue things.

00:27:59.000 The idea that the media is responsible and conveys information on the basis of its veracity is simply untrue.

00:28:06.000 It conveys information that is expedient.

00:28:09.000 The objective is use Trump to increase views, but not so much Trump that the Democrats don't win the next election.

00:28:17.000 We want Democrats to win because, you know, Rachel Maddow, who I keep telling you I think is a nice person, who I actually like, ...appears at Lockheed Martin-funded events.

00:28:25.000 The world has gone all unusual.

00:28:27.000 In the 1980s, would it have been plausible that a military-industrial complex company like Lockheed Martin, who make missiles that blow up kids, could sponsor gay pride?

00:28:36.000 Because the idea behind the LGBTQ plus movement is tolerate and love everyone.

00:28:41.000 You can't have a weapons manufacturer sponsor that, it doesn't make sense.

00:28:44.000 And yet, MSNBC and CNN are willing to platform pundits to speak about war, in particular the Ukraine-Russia conflict, that have ties to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon without declaring their credentials.

00:28:57.000 You know this is a very common phenomenon.

00:28:59.000 They're presented as military experts.

00:29:00.000 Well, I think there should be a war. 0.99

00:29:02.000 And why do you think there's a war?

00:29:03.000 Because I sell stuff that goes through the roof in wars.

00:29:06.000 And when I say go through the roof, I mean it goes through the roof, into the living room, blows up a whole wedding party.

00:29:11.000 Many of the retired military leaders employed by networks like MSNBC as paid contributors have secondary affiliations that are rarely, if ever mentioned, leaving viewers in the dark about whose interests they're promoting.

00:29:22.000 None of the leading networks makes a regular practice of announcing its military analyst financial ties to the Pentagon, connections that could color their on-air comments.

00:29:29.000 During its Ukraine coverage, MSNBC failed to include disclosures when the network invited on former Homeland Security expert Jay Johnson, who serves on the board of directors at Lockheed Martin, the world's biggest defense contractor.

00:29:41.000 This military industrial complex agenda becomes significant again when you contemplate what's in the boxes.

00:29:48.000 Stop focusing on Trump and how bad or crazy or brilliant and fantastic you believe him to be and figure out what is in there because there is at least one fairly legitimate claim that plans for an American war against Iran is in those boxes.

00:30:01.000 So you will be able to observe perhaps over the coming months how agitation with Iran begins escalates until it's necessary because of humanitarian crises to go to Iran.

00:30:10.000 I feel like we've seen this playbook before.

00:30:13.000 We are here to bring you the news.

00:30:14.000 It hurts our ability to do that.

00:30:16.000 We can't advocate for war if people keep saying war is bad and kills children.

00:30:21.000 So we're just going to get people on that work for Lockheed Martin who won't talk about that.

00:30:26.000 If we live broadcast what we fully expect in advance to be a litany of lies and false accusations no matter who says them.

00:30:35.000 No matter who says them!

00:30:37.000 Hunter Biden laptop!

00:30:37.000 Oh my god!

00:30:38.000 Hunter Biden laptop!

00:30:39.000 Let me know in the comments which thing that CNN and MSNBC have ignored is agitating you most in that moment.

00:30:46.000 We can't fund this without adverts from Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Norfolk Grumman.

00:30:50.000 I just want to say sometimes it's worth having a war just to see how good their missiles are.

00:30:57.000 Don't think about that.

00:30:58.000 No, it's not for them.

00:30:59.000 think too much about that. Enjoy this bit. Woo!

00:31:01.000 Pfft! Oh, damn it! Don't worry! Oh no! 1.00

00:31:03.000 They're just like us! Ah! Don't think about that! No. It's not for them. It's for probably

00:31:07.000 some other sort of company, which I pray don't benefit from wars.

00:31:11.000 Harvard Health Review research why people take supplements.

00:31:15.000 The top response was hope. 0.94

00:31:17.000 They hope, these poor bastards, vitamin and mineral supplements will help overcome a lifetime of poor diet and exercise, and they hope they might offset family health issues. 0.98

00:31:26.000 There is little evidence that the vitamin and mineral supplements we take are anything more than placebo. 0.97

00:31:30.000 From 22 clinical trials comparing multivitamins to placebo, the health of the multivitamin group was no better than the placebo group.

00:32:48.000 Oh, he's a conspiracy theorist.

00:32:49.000 He's right-wing.

00:32:50.000 The case of Donald Trump's latest indictment has monopolized national attention the past few days with a broad range of commentators expressing outrage and condemning Trump for potentially compromising US nuclear secrets, weapons capabilities, defensive vulnerabilities, and plans for waging war on Iran.

00:32:50.000 I'm not!

00:33:06.000 Wait, war with Iran?

00:33:07.000 Yeah, hold on, are we supposed to be having a war with Iran?

00:33:09.000 Oh yes, it's war with Iran now.

00:33:11.000 Oh, I thought it was Iraq.

00:33:12.000 We've done that war.

00:33:13.000 But Iran?

00:33:13.000 Yep, Iran.

00:33:14.000 But, I don't know, is it none of our business?

00:33:16.000 It's our business.

00:33:17.000 Why?

00:33:18.000 I don't know, they're being mean.

00:33:19.000 It's like, look, we're just having a war with Iran.

00:33:21.000 Are you a conspiracy theorist?

00:33:22.000 It's just like, you're suddenly saying you're going to war with Iran.

00:33:24.000 Who's going to pay for it?

00:33:29.000 Yes, in a detail that's been almost entirely glossed over, central to this case are a set of secret government plans for attacking Iran.

00:33:41.000 Other than as a pure factual matter or to stress how recklessly Trump treated classified information, this is This has been little remarked upon.

00:33:48.000 Just for a moment, think about that.

00:33:49.000 Like, what we're focusing on is Trump took them boxes.

00:33:52.000 That's bad.

00:33:53.000 It's classified information.

00:33:54.000 OK, full stop.

00:33:55.000 What's in the boxes?

00:33:56.000 Oh, we're going to have a war with Iran. 1.00

00:33:58.000 Do you want a war with Iran?

00:33:59.000 Well, actually, no.

00:34:00.000 I don't see how that's going to help at all.

00:34:03.000 Well, we'll just keep telling you stuff until you do want a war with Iran.

00:34:06.000 It's good because of independent media like this, and because of Branko Markadic's writing, we're able to tell you now.

00:34:11.000 And in fact, you'll be able to watch this unfold.

00:34:12.000 You'll be able to see, like, you'll watch the mainstream here.

00:34:18.000 The issue stems from Trump's apparent frustration with what he claimed was a false narrative being pushed by the press that after losing the 2020 election under the advice of then Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, You're always going on about Benjamin Netanyahu.

00:34:34.000 Let it go Len, you're never going to meet him.

00:34:36.000 Who was briefly removed from power before returning last November and the coterie of Iran hawks he'd surrounded himself with, Trump was dangerously close to ordering strikes on Iran that could have triggered full-scale war and had to be talked down from it by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Millar.

00:34:50.000 Milley. According to the indictment in a recorded interview Trump gave at his New Jersey golf club

00:34:54.000 in July 2021 to a writer and publisher working on an upcoming book, the former president maintained

00:35:00.000 the reality of the situation was the exact opposite. That it was Milley and the Pentagon

00:35:05.000 who were pushing for an attack on Iran, on a reluctant Trump, and that the classified documents

00:35:09.000 he kept were proof of this. That sounds very Trumpy to me, doesn't it? Like, I'm keeping

00:35:14.000 those boxes. Also, you know that the Pentagon and their partners in the military industrial complex

00:35:19.000 require ongoing war.

00:35:21.000 If you're an ice cream salesman, you like a nice long hot summer, right?

00:35:25.000 Specifically, Trump showed them a pages-long set of plans for attacking Iran that he said were independently drawn up by the military and presented to him.

00:35:33.000 Sir, we've got these plans for attacking Iran. 0.99

00:35:36.000 Why?

00:35:37.000 Good for business!

00:35:38.000 I'll keep that.

00:35:39.000 While the Washington Post's Philip Rucker and Carol Leonig's book, I Alone Can Fix It, alleges that Milley told a confidant that he viewed preventing war with Iran before the 2021 inauguration as one of his missions, it also depicts Milley as one of the advisers urging on Trump's drone assassination of Iranian Quds Force commander General Qasem Soleimani.

00:36:00.000 New York Times reporter Peter Baker's own reporting on that assassination at the time didn't depict Millie in the best light, as he justified the reckless strike on the basis of reportedly vague intelligence about threats that actually didn't come to pass.

00:36:14.000 Oh, it's probably gonna be some attack.

00:36:16.000 Oh no, what should we do?

00:36:17.000 I don't know, go to war with Iran?

00:36:21.000 This comes in the midst of years of ratcheting up tensions between not just Iran and the United States, but maybe more dangerously, Iran and Israel.

00:36:29.000 Yeah, that doesn't sound good.

00:36:30.000 The latter's government has been pushing the Biden administration to take a more aggressive posture toward Iran for years.

00:36:35.000 Pressure that has been ratcheted up under Netanyahu's current hardline government, which has carried out its own strikes inside Iran and done several major and threatening joint exercises with the US military, including one just last week.

00:36:48.000 That's why it always starts.

00:36:49.000 We're just doing this military exercise.

00:36:51.000 Is it above someone else's airspace?

00:36:53.000 Yeah, it's above their airspace.

00:36:55.000 Like, they always say stuff like, a Chinese warship got in our way!

00:36:58.000 Where were ya?

00:37:00.000 Hey! 0.99

00:37:00.000 China? 0.99

00:37:01.000 One of our drones got knocked down by Russians! 1.00

00:37:05.000 Where were ya?

00:37:06.000 Russia, stop bothering people in their own countries and then saying it's their fault!

00:37:12.000 More recently, the Discord leaks of Pentagon intelligence revealed that the CIA itself doesn't know how serious Israel is about its threats to attack.

00:37:19.000 Even so, the White House has signaled it would approve of whatever Israel decides to do, even if Israel ends up sparking a regional war or even drags the United States into the fray.

00:37:28.000 The existence of US war plans for Iran suggests it wouldn't take much for Israeli attacks to draw the United States into yet another disastrous war, particularly if Iran retaliates, particularly if it winds up killing Americans in the process, whether intentionally or not. 0.69

00:37:41.000 If I had plans here to smash up Tim Pool's studio, like, would you think, oh, I wonder if, like, they're gonna smash up Tim Pool's studio?

00:37:49.000 Go and smash up Tim Pool's studio.

00:37:50.000 We're doing this to protect you from Tim Pool.

00:37:52.000 You shouldn't even have been looking in that box by Tim Pool smash up his studio plans. 0.99

00:37:57.000 That's between me to your fascist conspiracy theorist pig. 0.99

00:37:59.000 Go and smash up Tim Pool's studio. 1.00

00:38:01.000 We're doing this to protect you from Tim Pool.

00:38:04.000 Any such war would be a calamity, not just for innocent Iranians.

00:38:07.000 Pffft, who cares about them?

00:38:08.000 But around the world, further destabilising oil prices and adding to the economic havoc from the war in Ukraine has already caused much secondary human suffering while potentially creating the conditions for a much bigger and more dangerous confrontation.

00:38:20.000 Iran's deepening alliance with Russia, after all, could draw Moscow into the war, turning the country into the second front of a global proxy battle between two nuclear superpowers, the United States and Russia, while adding a third nuclear power, Israel, into the volatile mix.

00:38:35.000 Woohoo! 1.00

00:38:36.000 Do you know what this situation needs?

00:38:38.000 Diplomacy, ongoing negotiations, clear, cool heads and a willingness to look at humanity and the spiritual world as a whole.

00:38:46.000 Yes, yes, all of that.

00:38:47.000 But also, Israel and their nuclear weapons. 0.88

00:38:50.000 We're not nearly there yet, but it's incumbent on all peace-loving people in the United States to work now proactively to stop this scenario from coming to pass, not just to ensure the past year's rhetoric about illegal wars, imperialism, human rights and international law isn't mere, hollow, cynical posturing, but to prevent even more needless death and suffering.

00:39:09.000 Unfortunately, what seems like collective disinterest in the US-Israeli march to war in the press and otherwise doesn't bode well for these efforts.

00:39:16.000 So why are MSNBC in this instance in the form of Rachel Maddow saying we can't show you Donald Trump?

00:39:21.000 It's too dangerous.

00:39:21.000 We have a news organization, have a responsibility.

00:39:24.000 Trump could swear he could say something crazy and maybe even amusing that'll make you like him too much.

00:39:29.000 Is that a more significant That's a significant priority than bringing on people that have financial ties to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon to advocate for and agitate for war with China over Taiwan, with Russia in a proxy war in my view over Ukraine and potentially Iran over as yet to be determined issue that they'll just make up.

00:39:49.000 What could have more negative impact on your life, on the planet? 0.90

00:39:53.000 Is it wars with faraway lands that are frankly none of our goddamn business?

00:39:58.000 Or is it the easy charisma of Donald Trump and his ability to somehow reach people and make them believe that he might be part of the solution? 0.97

00:40:06.000 So what you clearly have is a mainstream media that wants just enough Trump to keep us interested but not enough Trump to take away votes from their war-loving, hypocritical, censoring, surveilling, lying affiliates No.

00:40:19.000 in Washington. If they cared about dangerous information, they wouldn't put on shields for the military-industrial

00:40:25.000 complex and call it the news.

00:40:27.000 But that's just what I think. Let me know what you think in the chat. See you in a second.

00:40:30.000 Thanks for watching. 0.99

00:40:32.000 Now, here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:40:36.000 What fantastic points I made just then about the news cycle. 0.99

00:40:40.000 This is a good time for me to remind you if you're watching us on Rumble, and of course you are, that if you become a member of our Locals community, you can watch these conversations absolutely live.

00:40:51.000 I might be talking to Eckhart Tolle.

00:40:53.000 I might be talking to Vandana Shiva.

00:40:54.000 I might be talking to Jordan Peterson or RFK or Marianne Williamson.

00:40:59.000 If you want to join us live, you can by becoming a member of the Locals community.

00:41:03.000 just press the red button on your screen now and sign up.

00:41:07.000 You'll also get access to weekly meditations and a whole host of other valuable assets

00:41:12.000 that bring you deeper into this community.

00:41:15.000 Cause I believe the independent media has a role to play beyond conveying information.

00:41:19.000 Let's face it, the mainstream media is curating information and creating propaganda.

00:41:24.000 So independent media has to become a movement.

00:41:27.000 We have to create an axis where spirituality, activism, personal and collective awakening all alloy

00:41:36.000 into a glorious new, I'm gonna say obelisk rather than phallus of change and transition.

00:41:42.000 And I'm very excited to meet one participant in that in some ways very much a child of lockdown.

00:41:49.000 Adrienne Mishler, better known as Yoga with Adrienne, which is an interesting name, but nevertheless, we aspire after Adrienne in so much as she has created an online community sharing hundreds of free videos with over 12 million, is it 12 million YouTube subscribers worldwide?

00:42:05.000 Thank you very much, and if you've got a question for Adrienne, let me know in the chat, and guys over there in the gallery, highlight the questions and just bring them to me in an unfussy way and present them to me.

00:42:13.000 Adrienne, thank you so much for joining us.

00:42:15.000 Hi there, thank you for having me.

00:42:17.000 It's good to see you again.

00:42:20.000 Likewise.

00:42:21.000 The first point I want to make is that you are in a sense a creation of lockdown.

00:42:27.000 I don't mean that you are a grim Frankenstein figure, a result of a terrible laboratory accident.

00:42:35.000 Allegedly.

00:42:36.000 More, more that you came to prominence and popularity during the lockdown period because many people necessarily, understandably and wisely sought solace in yoga during that time.

00:42:49.000 When you began your channel, how did you imagine it might go?

00:42:53.000 What were your intentions and how do you deal with it now, now that it's become a very significant cultural movement?

00:43:02.000 The funny thing is, oh there's Benji getting Going to his spot.

00:43:06.000 He knows.

00:43:07.000 He knows.

00:43:09.000 He's like, oh, this is where I belong for this conversation.

00:43:12.000 The funny thing is we started the channel in 2012.

00:43:15.000 I think a lot of people may not know that or realize that the channel is over 10 years old.

00:43:21.000 And I met my partner in the channel, Chris Sharp, on the movie set of a film that he had co-written and was directing.

00:43:31.000 and I was acting in, playing the role of Polly in a punk rock band of three women, naturally.

00:43:39.000 And so we really enjoyed working together and I was already devoted to being a yoga teacher

00:43:45.000 and practicing yoga.

00:43:48.000 I was a theater artist from a very young age.

00:43:50.000 So it kind of started from the kind of passion project space

00:43:55.000 that one has as a creative person.

00:44:00.000 And I think that's the real blessing of the whole bit is if we had set out to start a business or a channel that reached millions, you know, it would have been tough because it's really hard to be yourself, believe it or not.

00:44:15.000 So the fact that we were like low stakes, starting this as a passion project, hoping to make a little bit of extra money, maybe to make some movies, You know, that was the original intention.

00:44:27.000 In 2015, we did the first 30-day yoga journey in January, and I think that's when things started to really pick up and we realized, wow, we can really help people here and make this more accessible.

00:44:37.000 My assumption is that if you practice a lot of yoga, a lot of mindfulness, a lot of meditation, it cannot but change you.

00:44:45.000 I don't see yoga as a sort of ancillary to the New Age movement that can sometimes seem Well, by its very nature, somewhat traditionless and rootless, I see it as a way to cultivate a different type of awareness, conquering the constant, caroming inner activity, the endless and nagging thoughts that

00:45:09.000 Sometimes won't leave me alone, and I was very curious to learn that since we last spoke, and I hope this is an unrelated subject, you've been recovering from panic and anxiety disorder.

00:45:22.000 How can you have suffered from that when you are a yogi?

00:45:27.000 Doesn't it sort of somehow protect you from that?

00:45:29.000 Because I know a lot of people watching this right now We'll be suffering from anxiety.

00:45:34.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:45:35.000 I'm looking at you guys, SensitiveHearts25.

00:45:37.000 I'm looking at you all.

00:45:39.000 Let me know if you've suffered from anxiety disorders and panic and if yoga is one of the things that you guys are going to.

00:45:45.000 So were you surprised and concerned and has it shaken your faith in the ability of yoga and comparable techniques to help you deal with those kind of things?

00:45:55.000 Yes, I'm so glad you brought this up because for many, many moons, I was quiet about my experience with anxiety and panic because of the very thing you mentioned, because to me, it was so astonishing that me, yoga with Adrian, like this ridiculousness of how could I get so hard hit with nervous system breakdown?

00:46:20.000 And all I can say is that I'm finally in a place where my nervous system can actually say, This is a serious subject for us to tend to our nervous system and to consider all the parts that contribute to nervous system balance.

00:46:39.000 That's hormones, that's like, you know, talking about the news, like the type of information we intake.

00:46:45.000 But I think with the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021, Coupled with, admittedly, a personal share, doing hormone therapy to freeze my eggs, you know, at my age.

00:47:00.000 The combination of those things just tipped the boat for me.

00:47:04.000 And we all have these moments where the boat tips, and that's when we need to remember that yoga practice is all about showing up with what is.

00:47:12.000 I think we all wanted to show up and be helpers so much so in 2020, 2021.

00:47:19.000 That I just kind of lost track of my own practice and my body reminded me, um, we have to come back.

00:47:26.000 We want to be of service.

00:47:28.000 What are people saying about their anxiety?

00:47:30.000 Young Toast says, Adrian, you truly got me to love yoga.

00:47:35.000 I was never into it because I found it boring, but now I basically need it at least a couple of times a week on my rest day.

00:47:41.000 It makes me get back into my body, which I have a hard time ever doing, especially as an autistic and ADHD adult.

00:47:48.000 I liked it that you said that you took your panic attacks and anxiety as a kind of route back to embodiment.

00:47:57.000 Can you explain that a bit more, please?

00:48:00.000 Well, you mentioned the word faith.

00:48:02.000 Like, did it, did it kind of allow me to lose faith or garner more faith in yoga?

00:48:09.000 And it, it scared, honestly, it scared the shit out of me because again, I was like, how could this happen?

00:48:16.000 How could I let this get so far away?

00:48:18.000 And part of it is like, you know, I did do some hormone therapy, but the world is a crazy place.

00:48:24.000 We're inundated with so much.

00:48:27.000 using this ancient practice to get back to the interior.

00:48:31.000 And remember that the roots of yoga, right, are deeply, deeply rooted in spirituality.

00:48:36.000 So that doesn't mean religion, that doesn't mean one thing over another, but it is a connection back to yourself, right?

00:48:44.000 And the opportunity, this vocabulary to connect to something bigger than yourself, maybe the divine.

00:48:50.000 And so I feel like If anything, it was, I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is how I feel.

00:48:56.000 I believe this.

00:48:58.000 It was a reminder from the divine of like what this practice is and what I can do to help communicate and share the depth of that.

00:49:07.000 Like what I can do to communicate that to more people moving forward, especially after the pandemic where so many of us came to it for mental health and physical wellbeing.

00:49:19.000 Fascinating that you talk about access to the divine.

00:49:22.000 If you're watching us now on Rumble, join us on Locals.

00:49:26.000 press the red button. That gives you the opportunity to join these chats live and also exclusively

00:49:31.000 after we finish streaming on Rumble, we'll be on locals and me and Yoga, not me and Yoga,

00:49:37.000 me and yeah, well me and Yoga, but me and Adrian, aka Yoga with Adrian, are going to

00:49:42.000 do some yoga. You're going to talk me through some asanas, some positions, so you can join

00:49:48.000 us for that. But that's only on locals. Press the red button and join us there. I mean,

00:49:53.000 why are you embarrassed about talking about divinity, Adrian? Because isn't that the whole

00:49:57.000 point of yoga really to get past the limitations of the individual mind and access the latent,

00:50:06.000 even unconscious forces that make up the sort of whole of our psyche and give us, you know,

00:50:14.000 when you come to a point where you're suffering from panic and anxiety, you need a different

00:50:19.000 You need to access something else.

00:50:21.000 You need to visit the edge lands.

00:50:23.000 You need to get beyond the ordinary parameters of your consciousness.

00:50:27.000 Why do you feel embarrassed about talking about divinity like that?

00:50:31.000 That's a good question.

00:50:31.000 I suppose I'm not embarrassed to talk about divinity.

00:50:35.000 In fact, I feel what I'm really relaying like, and I can hear myself now, and this is great for me as well, is that I'm being reminded of the divinity that's in this practice in a major way.

00:50:49.000 I think what the, maybe not so much the embarrassment, but just the awareness and attempt at humility of And not wanting to just blatantly be like, and this experience reminded me, I am the chosen one to communicate divinity through yoga to the people in this day and age.

00:51:08.000 I didn't want to make that sort of statement.

00:51:11.000 But I love that you asked me that because I think now is the time to stop being afraid of talking about the spirituality in the way I feel compelled to for so many years.

00:51:25.000 I wanted to make this practice, and I still continue to want to make this practice accessible, but I wanted it to be so inclusive, so easy to drop in for so many different types of people over the world, that I was very careful about the way I included the spirituality.

00:51:40.000 And I think since 2020, 2021, I kind of, yeah, I'm like, no, this practice is deeply rooted in spirituality.

00:51:51.000 It makes sense to come back to that and remind people of that.

00:51:54.000 People need spirituality now because the material world and its institutions are beginning to fail people.

00:52:03.000 I don't mean that nature is failing people, but it's become plain in the last few years that we're in some seismic shift.

00:52:12.000 It's the end of a particular era, the birth of something new.

00:52:15.000 I'm glad to hear you admit that you don't see yourself as the Lady Christ of online yoga, but there are a lot of comments here that seem to countenance a claim that you aren't willing to make, or rather support that claim.

00:52:29.000 Listen to some of this.

00:52:30.000 Firstly, Claus says, Adrian, have you got any advice for aspiring yoga teachers?

00:52:34.000 We'll answer that over on Locals.

00:52:35.000 Press the red button, you can join us there if you want to hear the answer to that question.

00:52:39.000 But look at this, look at all this praise bordering on hysteria, Adrienne.

00:52:43.000 SueBiz22, I've been with Adrienne on YouTube long before lockdown.

00:52:47.000 I fell in love with her immediately because of her purity and her incredible authenticity.

00:52:54.000 Marci Sova, SovaMama1 says, She saved my life.

00:52:58.000 Thank you, Russell, for acknowledging this amazing young woman.

00:53:02.000 Tajimo, looking forward to this.

00:53:03.000 I found out by Adrian from your last interview, you've been doing yoga with her since.

00:53:06.000 I love Adrian's yoga channel.

00:53:09.000 That's it.

00:53:10.000 And then Zache says, nice, let's do some yoga together.

00:53:13.000 I've suffered from a major depressive disorder, says CCS Ranch, and Adrian has helped me with that.

00:53:19.000 Thanks, all of you, for those positive comments.

00:53:21.000 Adrian has that.

00:53:23.000 In stark contradiction to the principles of yoga and spirituality everywhere, made you feel a deep sense of vanity, narcissism and personal power?

00:53:35.000 No, no, no, not at all.

00:53:37.000 In fact, it again just It is a true gift to get feedback at all, right?

00:53:45.000 And I think that it's, yeah, it feels good.

00:53:49.000 It's positive feedback.

00:53:50.000 And it mostly, you know, this sounds so like cliche and like lip service, but it restores my faith.

00:53:57.000 In so many ways to just hear people have that connection because you have to remember a lot of what a lot if not almost all of what I do I give away for free so people can pause it they can stop it they don't have to do it they don't have to take my crappy humor I mean Benji's cute so I'd log in for that any day but you know there's so many opportunities to do Something for yourself in this setting and the fact that anyone would choose to do it with me and that would, they would finish and then they would come back when there's no money.

00:54:25.000 There's no, I'm not there like challenging people.

00:54:29.000 Uh, you know, to me, that's pretty heroic.

00:54:34.000 And I think I mentioned this last time we chatted, like to me, to be able to show up and do something with a beginning, middle and end for yourself without an audience, without anyone watching you, without giving any money in exchange.

00:54:49.000 Pretty amazing.

00:54:50.000 So, if anything, I'm just, like, happy to hear it.

00:54:55.000 Carry on our conversation, Adrienne, with your permission, on local.

00:55:00.000 So, if you're watching us on Rumble, press the red button and join us now.

00:55:03.000 I see your Benji, who is compliantly on that mat, almost like a chimpanzee from Mary Chipperfield Circus.

00:55:11.000 Doubtless whooped into shape by a life of constant cruelty.

00:55:16.000 And now my dog Bear is going to join us.

00:55:18.000 We let Bear in the studio.

00:55:19.000 We're going to do yoga, not only with Adrienne, but with our recalcitrant hounds.

00:55:25.000 Here comes Bear.

00:55:26.000 Let's look at Bear.

00:55:28.000 Come in here, mate.

00:55:28.000 There he is.

00:55:29.000 Look at that.

00:55:29.000 There's Bear will be joining us for yoga.

00:55:32.000 So it'll be me, Adrienne, Benji, and Bear.

00:55:35.000 Join us on Locals in addition to yoga with Adrienne, plus our canine accomplices.

00:55:42.000 You also get exclusive access to interviews with RFK Jr., Richard Dawkins, a whole host of things, meditations, podcasts, so much stuff, as well as my live festival community, which you should be coming to, Adrienne, in all honesty, between the 14th and 17th of July.

00:55:55.000 Hay on white.

00:55:56.000 What you doing?

00:55:57.000 Where are you right now?

00:55:58.000 I'm in Washington State.

00:56:02.000 So out of the Texas heat, you know, I'm from Austin, and I am in Washington State, and it's beautiful, drizzly morning here.

00:56:09.000 Come England, we'll pay ya to be at Community.

00:56:12.000 We've got a fantastic show tomorrow.

00:56:14.000 We've got Simon Jordan, who's a social pontificator, football expert, and some say the most important and radical voice in the world's game since Brian Clough.

00:56:24.000 Join us for a fantastic conversation around sport and the culture and business of sport.

00:56:29.000 That's going to be fantastic.

00:56:30.000 But now, if you're on Locals, you can join me and Adrian.

00:56:32.000 We're going to do some yoga with our dogs.

00:56:34.000 What's that going to be like?

00:56:35.000 It's going to be weird, isn't it?

00:56:36.000 Join us tomorrow, not for more of the same.

00:56:39.000 Oh, no, but for more of the different.

00:56:40.000 Until then, stay free.

00:56:41.000 Press the red button.

00:56:42.000 Join us on Locals.

00:56:43.000 We're gonna do yoga right now Switch it, switch off, switch off, switch it, switch off,

00:56:48.000 switch off, switch off...

00:56:52.000 Man, this one changed.

00:56:54.000 Switch on.
