In this episode of RUMBLE, we have a special guest on the show, Rand Paul. Rand Paul is a presidential candidate running for the 2020 Republican presidential nomination. He's been a long time supporter of Bernie Sanders and has been a vocal opponent of the establishment. Rand is also a regular contributor to the anti-vaccination movement and is a vocal critic of Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci. In this episode, we discuss Rand's relationship with Bill Gates, the role Bill Gates played in the Pandemic, and the role of the pharmaceutical companies in the pandemic. We also talk about Rand's recent trip to Bill Gates' "land" in Silicon Valley, and how he and Bernie Sanders have come together to take on the establishment and challenge the status quo. We also discuss Rand Paul's rise to national stardom, and what it means for the future of the Republican Party, and why he should run for President in 2020. And, of course, we finish with a live shot of the breaking news from our live shot from the future, where we're going to see the future. Stay tuned for that! - The Awakening Wonders - Welcome to the Awakening Wonderings! - E.T.W.Wondering what's going on in the Matrix? - What's going to happen next? - Will Jesus return to Earth? - Is it already here? - Does he have a plan? - Who knows? - Will he be back? - And will he be here soon? - We'll find out! - Is he's coming back? ? - What will he's back in the next episode? - and what will he do? - will he re-join us in the future? - who knows? - Where will he will do it? - what s going to do it?! - What s he's up to? - when will he return? - where will he come back to earth? - is he be? - When will he arrive? - How will he show up? - how will he get there? - does he get on the scene? ? - and who s gonna be there? and what s he s gonna do it?? - when he s coming to the next one? - can we know? - - who s coming after us? - why is he coming to us? , & more? - we ll find out? - are we waiting for him?
00:02:51.000Because 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.
00:03:02.000I like his hair, it's like a baby's hair.
00:03:04.000In 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.
00:03:16.000You're charging too much for your vaccines, they were saying, weren't they?
00:03:50.000Like 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.
00:04:08.000While 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.
00:04:31.000You'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.
00:04:42.000You 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.
00:04:50.000But there's no room for any systemic change.
00:06:15.000Look, Bill Gates has been over there recently.
00:06:17.000Bill Gates is the largest funder of trying to find these viruses in remote caves and bring them to big cities.
00:06:23.000So 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.
00:06:43.000Just if some stories are to be believed.
00:06:46.000I'm talking about Schellenberger's recent revelations on this show that the Wuhan... Sorry, why did I call it the Wuhan virus?
00:06:54.000The coronavirus began in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which I think is in... China.
00:07:12.000And 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.
00:07:22.000And indeed, it seems that Bill Gates, and we can't prove this, and we've got to be careful about this, haven't we?
00:08:08.000I 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.
00:08:18.000It's certainly something that he's complained about himself in terms of members of his own party.
00:08:24.000Who are, you know, in terms of, like, war with China, beating the drums, I think he said last week.
00:08:30.000But his point about, like, Bill Gates and Fauci, I mean, when you look into that, we obviously, we want to investigate further.
00:08:38.000Having him on the show would be great to find out what the details are about Bill Gates funding this kind of function research.
00:08:45.000But 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?
00:08:53.000who Fauci was a head of, funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan that led to patient zeros
00:08:57.000and then potentially the start of this pandemic.
00:09:00.000Can you have more than one patient zero or is that like a really bad combo on a padlock?
00:09:07.000When 8 to 10 hours south of Wuhan, 2 to 300 feet deep into a cave, found viruses and took
00:09:16.000There 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?
00:09:25.000Do you want that kind of research done?
00:09:27.000It seems to me that it's the very kind of topic that should be exposed to the searing heat of democracy.
00:09:34.000Do 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?
00:09:49.000Let me know in the chat where you stand on that and Is this a matter for an evolved democracy?
00:09:54.000Isn't it interesting as well, the way these issues are continually framed?
00:09:57.000It 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.
00:10:03.000People talk about, oh, why has Trump got those boxes?
00:10:05.000But isn't the more important subject, what is in the boxes?
00:10:08.000If there's plans for a war, then that's the story, really.
00:10:11.000And 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?
00:10:59.000I 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?
00:11:07.000And it can maybe feel a bit like, well, you know, you can't just blame two people.
00:11:11.000But 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.
00:11:19.000We know that both of those were involved in the explanation of it.
00:11:22.000They 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.
00:11:35.000Well 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.
00:11:56.000It shouldn't perhaps be happening in the first place.
00:11:58.000We also know obviously that the last part of that is that they were both involved in the pandemic response.
00:12:03.000Fauci obviously few His role, which we all know about, and Bill Gates through the WHO and Carvey.
00:12:08.000It was all over the TV, Winnie Fowchee, every ten minutes, telling you to put this on and take that off and stand over there.
00:12:13.000And 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.
00:12:22.000Miss your job or attend your job, depending on what economic class you exist within, were themselves ignoring their own advice.
00:12:34.000When, like, in our country, you might not know this.
00:12:36.000Let 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.
00:12:42.000But do you remember when Boris Johnson said, oh, you know, we're not going to cancel Christmas?
00:12:47.000Then we are going to cancel Christmas.
00:12:48.000But what difference did it make to them?
00:12:49.000Because they didn't cancel their own Christmas.
00:12:52.000We're going to be exclusively discussing that on Rumble, because unbelievably, we have to censor ourselves when we're attacking the establishment.
00:13:00.000Indeed, we believe that's what the censorship industrial complex is primarily about.
00:13:04.000It'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.
00:13:10.000It's much more likely we're going to give you an opinion that's going to make you less compliant.
00:13:25.000And while we're on that subject, they're collecting your data in unique and nefarious ways.
00:13:31.000Because 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.
00:13:48.000We are, excuse me, still discussing the ways that they access your data.
00:13:52.000It 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.
00:14:01.000Now 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?
00:14:09.000Remember the ways and the breadth of their deception and their lies?
00:14:12.000Well it seems now that they're acquiring private data by purchasing it from private companies.
00:14:17.000Can you tell us a bit more about this, Gareth, the scope and scale?
00:14:21.000It's the US at the moment, but you're absolutely right.
00:14:23.000Yeah, 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.
00:14:31.000In this case, there aren't any legal restrictions on private companies that buy, repackage and
00:14:37.000We've talked about it before with mainstream media and we've talked about how those corporations
00:14:44.000themselves package and sell your data.
00:14:47.000So another way in which the kind of irony of the mainstream media coming and telling
00:14:50.000us about all these things that are dangerous, whilst not telling us about the wars that
00:14:54.000are dangerous, they're also packaging and selling off your data to the government.
00:14:58.000That'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.
00:15:16.000I merely went onto that pornography site to see if whether or not it captured my data.
00:15:21.000And 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.
00:15:28.000The 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.
00:16:06.000Because, 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.
00:16:16.000To go back to what Rand Paul said at the start, this kind of anti-China narrative that will escalate tensions.
00:16:21.000You'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.
00:17:49.000Of course the culture generates magnificent things.
00:17:51.000It created Jimi Hendrix, it created David Bowie, It created John Updike, it created thousands of geniuses, it created you and me together right now.
00:17:59.000But, ultimately, what is the function of a culture?
00:18:01.000It is to contain you, condition you, to conform you, to institutionalise you, and to make you passive.
00:18:06.000Now 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.
00:18:18.000Now you're going to want to click on the link.
00:18:20.000Click 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.
00:18:38.000In 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.
00:19:28.000Look at how rubbish their parties are.
00:19:30.000Look at how, like, they firstly look like the British office, which is the original office.
00:19:34.000I hate to remind you that we invented your language and a good majority of your culture.
00:19:37.000Let'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.
00:19:52.000Watch out for, you know, schools, that could kill a nan.
00:19:55.000Overnight stays, that could kill a grandad.
00:19:57.000Old uncle could be killed by a place of worship if it's outside of your support bubble.
00:20:02.000You could... A lovely old uncle could be folded up like a bloody deck chair.
00:20:06.000But look at what this lot were doing throughout the whole farrago.
00:20:09.000This footage belongs to Daily Mirror, which is a type of newspaper, I suppose, reflecting you back at you.
00:21:15.000So 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?
00:22:00.000If 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?
00:22:07.000We would demand fairer, better systems of government.
00:22:10.000Do you know what will happen with this?
00:22:11.000It will be used by the opposition party, who will be more or less the same.
00:22:15.000They might be a little bit nicer around a few issues, but they'll be basically the same.
00:22:19.000I 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.
00:22:40.000And 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
00:23:11.000What's happening is these guys were partying and in America they were coming up with a whole different narrative.
00:23:16.000So let me know in the chat right now if you have had your faith in democracy shaken a little harder.
00:23:24.000Still to come is Adrienne Mishler from Yoga With Adrienne, one of the most influential figures in the world of yoga.
00:23:30.000Please 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.
00:23:38.000Now though, another story that helps us to understand the ways in which the brinkmanship of media narrativisation operates.
00:23:48.000We 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.
00:24:53.000That 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.
00:26:46.000Because we know that MSNBC's attitude to censorship Fluctuates.
00:26:50.000They were very happy to carry certain messages around the vaccines which have since been plainly, objectively, scientifically disproven.
00:26:57.000You 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.
00:27:06.000It was never credible and they were happy to carry that all the time.
00:27:10.000So 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?
00:27:16.000Is 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?
00:27:35.000You cannot trust either of those parties.
00:27:38.000They're both owned by corporate interests that are globalist in their nature.
00:27:42.000If you don't demand decentralized democracy, your lives and the lives of your children will be a form of mediated penury and slavery.
00:27:50.000As we have said before in these circumstances, there is a cost to us as a news organization to knowingly broadcast untrue things.
00:27:59.000The idea that the media is responsible and conveys information on the basis of its veracity is simply untrue.
00:28:06.000It conveys information that is expedient.
00:28:09.000The objective is use Trump to increase views, but not so much Trump that the Democrats don't win the next election.
00:28:17.000We 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.
00:28:27.000In 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?
00:28:36.000Because the idea behind the LGBTQ plus movement is tolerate and love everyone.
00:28:41.000You can't have a weapons manufacturer sponsor that, it doesn't make sense.
00:28:44.000And 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.
00:28:57.000You know this is a very common phenomenon.
00:28:59.000They're presented as military experts.
00:29:03.000Because I sell stuff that goes through the roof in wars.
00:29:06.000And when I say go through the roof, I mean it goes through the roof, into the living room, blows up a whole wedding party.
00:29:11.000Many 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.
00:29:22.000None 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.
00:29:29.000During 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.
00:29:41.000This military industrial complex agenda becomes significant again when you contemplate what's in the boxes.
00:29:48.000Stop 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.
00:30:01.000So 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.
00:30:10.000I feel like we've seen this playbook before.
00:31:17.000They 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.
00:31:26.000There is little evidence that the vitamin and mineral supplements we take are anything more than placebo.
00:31:30.000From 22 clinical trials comparing multivitamins to placebo, the health of the multivitamin group was no better than the placebo group.

00:32:50.000The 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.
00:33:29.000Yes, in a detail that's been almost entirely glossed over, central to this case are a set of secret government plans for attacking Iran.
00:33:41.000Other than as a pure factual matter or to stress how recklessly Trump treated classified information, this is This has been little remarked upon.
00:34:00.000I don't see how that's going to help at all.
00:34:03.000Well, we'll just keep telling you stuff until you do want a war with Iran.
00:34:06.000It's good because of independent media like this, and because of Branko Markadic's writing, we're able to tell you now.
00:34:11.000And in fact, you'll be able to watch this unfold.
00:34:12.000You'll be able to see, like, you'll watch the mainstream here.
00:34:18.000The 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.
00:34:34.000Let it go Len, you're never going to meet him.
00:34:36.000Who 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.
00:34:50.000Milley. According to the indictment in a recorded interview Trump gave at his New Jersey golf club
00:34:54.000in July 2021 to a writer and publisher working on an upcoming book, the former president maintained
00:35:00.000the reality of the situation was the exact opposite. That it was Milley and the Pentagon
00:35:05.000who were pushing for an attack on Iran, on a reluctant Trump, and that the classified documents
00:35:09.000he kept were proof of this. That sounds very Trumpy to me, doesn't it? Like, I'm keeping
00:35:14.000those boxes. Also, you know that the Pentagon and their partners in the military industrial complex
00:35:21.000If you're an ice cream salesman, you like a nice long hot summer, right?
00:35:25.000Specifically, 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.
00:35:33.000Sir, we've got these plans for attacking Iran.
00:35:39.000While 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.
00:36:00.000New 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.
00:36:14.000Oh, it's probably gonna be some attack.
00:36:21.000This 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.
00:36:30.000The latter's government has been pushing the Biden administration to take a more aggressive posture toward Iran for years.
00:36:35.000Pressure 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.
00:37:06.000Russia, stop bothering people in their own countries and then saying it's their fault!
00:37:12.000More recently, the Discord leaks of Pentagon intelligence revealed that the CIA itself doesn't know how serious Israel is about its threats to attack.
00:37:19.000Even 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.
00:37:28.000The 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.
00:37:41.000If 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?
00:38:08.000But 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.
00:38:20.000Iran'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.
00:38:47.000But also, Israel and their nuclear weapons.
00:38:50.000We'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.
00:39:09.000Unfortunately, what seems like collective disinterest in the US-Israeli march to war in the press and otherwise doesn't bode well for these efforts.
00:39:16.000So why are MSNBC in this instance in the form of Rachel Maddow saying we can't show you Donald Trump?
00:39:21.000We have a news organization, have a responsibility.
00:39:24.000Trump could swear he could say something crazy and maybe even amusing that'll make you like him too much.
00:39:29.000Is 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.
00:39:49.000What could have more negative impact on your life, on the planet?
00:39:53.000Is it wars with faraway lands that are frankly none of our goddamn business?
00:39:58.000Or 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?
00:40:06.000So 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.
00:40:19.000in Washington. If they cared about dangerous information, they wouldn't put on shields for the military-industrial
00:40:36.000What fantastic points I made just then about the news cycle.
00:40:40.000This 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.
00:40:54.000I might be talking to Jordan Peterson or RFK or Marianne Williamson.
00:40:59.000If you want to join us live, you can by becoming a member of the Locals community.
00:41:03.000just press the red button on your screen now and sign up.
00:41:07.000You'll also get access to weekly meditations and a whole host of other valuable assets
00:41:12.000that bring you deeper into this community.
00:41:15.000Cause I believe the independent media has a role to play beyond conveying information.
00:41:19.000Let's face it, the mainstream media is curating information and creating propaganda.
00:41:24.000So independent media has to become a movement.
00:41:27.000We have to create an axis where spirituality, activism, personal and collective awakening all alloy
00:41:36.000into a glorious new, I'm gonna say obelisk rather than phallus of change and transition.
00:41:42.000And I'm very excited to meet one participant in that in some ways very much a child of lockdown.
00:41:49.000Adrienne 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?
00:42:05.000Thank 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.
00:42:13.000Adrienne, thank you so much for joining us.
00:42:36.000More, 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.
00:42:49.000When you began your channel, how did you imagine it might go?
00:42:53.000What were your intentions and how do you deal with it now, now that it's become a very significant cultural movement?
00:43:02.000The funny thing is, oh there's Benji getting Going to his spot.
00:44:00.000And 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.
00:44:15.000So 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.
00:44:27.000In 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.
00:44:37.000My assumption is that if you practice a lot of yoga, a lot of mindfulness, a lot of meditation, it cannot but change you.
00:44:45.000I 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
00:45:09.000Sometimes 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.
00:45:22.000How can you have suffered from that when you are a yogi?
00:45:27.000Doesn't it sort of somehow protect you from that?
00:45:29.000Because I know a lot of people watching this right now We'll be suffering from anxiety.
00:45:39.000Let 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.
00:45:45.000So 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?
00:45:55.000Yes, 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?
00:46:20.000And 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.
00:46:39.000That's hormones, that's like, you know, talking about the news, like the type of information we intake.
00:46:45.000But 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.
00:47:00.000The combination of those things just tipped the boat for me.
00:47:04.000And 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.
00:47:12.000I think we all wanted to show up and be helpers so much so in 2020, 2021.
00:47:19.000That I just kind of lost track of my own practice and my body reminded me, um, we have to come back.
00:48:58.000It 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.
00:49:07.000Like 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.
00:49:19.000Fascinating that you talk about access to the divine.
00:49:22.000If you're watching us now on Rumble, join us on Locals.
00:49:26.000press the red button. That gives you the opportunity to join these chats live and also exclusively
00:49:31.000after we finish streaming on Rumble, we'll be on locals and me and Yoga, not me and Yoga,
00:49:37.000me and yeah, well me and Yoga, but me and Adrian, aka Yoga with Adrian, are going to
00:49:42.000do some yoga. You're going to talk me through some asanas, some positions, so you can join
00:49:48.000us for that. But that's only on locals. Press the red button and join us there. I mean,
00:49:53.000why are you embarrassed about talking about divinity, Adrian? Because isn't that the whole
00:49:57.000point of yoga really to get past the limitations of the individual mind and access the latent,
00:50:06.000even unconscious forces that make up the sort of whole of our psyche and give us, you know,
00:50:14.000when you come to a point where you're suffering from panic and anxiety, you need a different
00:50:31.000I suppose I'm not embarrassed to talk about divinity.
00:50:35.000In 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.
00:50:49.000I 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.
00:51:08.000I didn't want to make that sort of statement.
00:51:11.000But 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.
00:51:25.000I 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.
00:51:40.000And I think since 2020, 2021, I kind of, yeah, I'm like, no, this practice is deeply rooted in spirituality.
00:51:51.000It makes sense to come back to that and remind people of that.
00:51:54.000People need spirituality now because the material world and its institutions are beginning to fail people.
00:52:03.000I 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.
00:52:12.000It's the end of a particular era, the birth of something new.
00:52:15.000I'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.
00:53:23.000In stark contradiction to the principles of yoga and spirituality everywhere, made you feel a deep sense of vanity, narcissism and personal power?
00:53:50.000And it mostly, you know, this sounds so like cliche and like lip service, but it restores my faith.
00:53:57.000In 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.
00:54:25.000There's no, I'm not there like challenging people.
00:54:29.000Uh, you know, to me, that's pretty heroic.
00:54:34.000And 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.
00:55:29.000There's Bear will be joining us for yoga.
00:55:32.000So it'll be me, Adrienne, Benji, and Bear.
00:55:35.000Join us on Locals in addition to yoga with Adrienne, plus our canine accomplices.
00:55:42.000You 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.
00:56:14.000We'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.
00:56:24.000Join us for a fantastic conversation around sport and the culture and business of sport.
