00:00:00.000I'm a veteran and I could never be a veteran. I'm looking for the steel. In this video, I'm
00:00:26.000In this video, you're going to see the future.
00:00:39.000You're wonderful, you're awakening, you're doing everything you can in a crazy world to remain connected, even though you are continually stimulated into a synthesized state by a system that wants you distracted.
00:01:42.000Pestering, bothering Elon Musk at night because... Angering?
00:01:46.000Angering Elon Musk, because I was like, sort of going, is that his number?
00:01:49.000Because, you know, if you ring a foreign number, sometimes it goes... And then it's this thing, and it was in a language that's not the mother tongue.
00:02:12.000So if Elon Musk today seemed off his game, if he sacked another 50% of the workforce, if he can't focus, if he's given Tucker Carlson a real big deal over there at Twitter.
00:02:41.000You can put that just down the brightness.
00:02:46.000It's me, Russell Brand, Elon Musk's tech consultant.
00:02:50.000And while I'm advising the genii of the world tech, the new plutocrat class, the new kings of the big tech world, I could give Zuckerberg a bit of advice on the BJJ, hmm?
00:03:02.000Because he's been BJJing his way through life.
00:03:04.000Hey, when we're exclusively on Rumble, the other platform where you can speak freely because I noticed Tucker was saying that Twitter is the only one.
00:03:10.000We'll be talking about the coverage of 420 and the sort of fetishization and celebration of cannabis use.
00:03:17.000It's really funny because like the mainstream media are casually supporting, celebrating drug use.
00:03:24.000Well it's the like fun story of the day isn't it?
00:07:30.000Now springtime is a time for the Russian counter-offensive.
00:07:33.000We had a fantastic conversation that you can see now on Locals.
00:07:37.000You'll be able to see it on Friday with RFK, Robert Kennedy Jr.
00:07:41.000Where he talked extensively about how really we're funding this war at a time when we can ill afford it and we're being incredibly misled.
00:07:52.000You've got to watch that if you're a member of our locals community you can join us on the chat now if you are.
00:07:57.000Uh, you can watch it now, it's already up, but it'll be on Rumble on Friday.
00:08:01.000So, yeah, he also said, by the way, that he estimates 300,000 Ukrainian people have died, 100,000 Russian people have died, and as with all wars, it's not the people that are agitating for and advocating for war that pay the ultimate penalty, it's ordinary people who temporarily have a national identity.
00:08:20.000That was one of the things to come from the Pentagon leaks, wasn't it?
00:08:22.000That there was more people that died than the U.S.
00:08:30.000RFK called it a money laundering operation.
00:08:32.000He said essentially that finances being your tax dollars go, you know, into this war.
00:08:37.000They come out the other end into the military-industrial complex.
00:08:40.000You know that the Pentagon have never seen an audit that they can pass yet.
00:08:43.000And you know that Assange said the same thing, that the function of government is to take public money and to put it into private hands, legitimising it.
00:08:48.000He was running for the Afghanistan War.
00:09:09.000What else is going on with the ongoing agitation of people?
00:09:12.000Oh, this is, yeah, so this is the thing where when Trump was doing this it was condemned.
00:09:18.000Can you explain this to us a little bit?
00:09:20.000Yeah, so this is like the one China policy, which is obviously what, you know, the fears are around this at the moment, that by agitating China And by supporting Taiwan, like when Trump took a phone call from the president of Taiwan when he got into power, and Rachel Maddow and a lot of the media came on and said, how dare he?
00:09:39.000You know what he's doing is violating the One China policy and this is going to lead to war.
00:09:43.000But as we know, he's happening at the moment with the support of Taiwan, with giving them military equipment, with sending troops over there, with training them, all that kind of stuff.
00:09:50.000It's doing the exact same thing, but without the same kind of pushback as Trump was getting from taking a phone call.
00:10:29.000There's no institution that you can claim has moral authority anymore.
00:10:34.000Revelations around the church in recent years have shaken our faith.
00:10:38.000And when you see how the media behaves differently, advocating for the party that they traditionally support and are aligned with when they're in office, opposing the other party, their principles changing, you've seen We've seen that happen around important issues, around
00:10:52.000medications connected to the pandemic, they just switch sides when appropriate.
00:10:56.000It brings us to a difficult point, as we've discussed earlier this week, that every election
00:11:02.000result is queried, the judiciary is queried, there's no sort of faith that, oh, these things
00:11:10.000And I think it's because we've desacralized, as Vandana Shiva says, we've desacralized our culture.
00:11:14.000We've lost our love, reverence and respect for one another and for the Earth.
00:11:18.000So when it comes to important decisions, verdicts and choices, there's no sense that, well, these are our principles, these are our values, we know that we can rely on them and trust them.
00:11:26.000We live in these silos, separate, people reorganizing their principles, their values and their opinions in accordance with often monetized alliances, would you say?
00:11:45.000This is a sort of a complex story, but you won't be surprised to learn that it centers around military-industrial complex manipulation of the media and financial industry.
00:11:55.000People are retiring from the NSA, then winning lucrative contracts, not only within the United States.
00:12:09.000That happens elsewhere in the world, and it gives me the idea that there's this class, this strata of political movement that is transcendent of national identity.
00:12:17.000When it comes to matters like military and the war, we talk about ideas like humanitarianism, patriotism, honour, connection, alliance and allegiance.
00:12:24.000But there is, and perhaps has always been, a transcendent group, i.e.
00:12:29.000people retire from the NSA, then go get consultancy deals with Saudi Arabia, who are meant to be still a pariah, fist bump.
00:12:37.000It shows you that They don't live within the framing that they invite us to operate within.
00:12:44.000Yeah, I mean, this is the Washington Post that they've put in.
00:12:46.000The only way they got this information, because it was being withheld from them, as you can imagine why, it's kind of embarrassing to admit that 500 retired US military personnel have gone on to work for countries like Saudi Arabia, who, as you say, Ross, are meant to be pariahs, have, you know, human rights abuses that apparently we care about, and yet our military personnel Can leave their post, retire, and not only go and get involved in the revolving door with military-industrial complex, but go and work for regimes like Saudi Arabia.
00:13:13.000So they had to obtain a freedom of information lawsuit, which is the only way that anyone in the press... So they're trying to control this information, presumably because they know most people wouldn't be down with it.
00:13:24.000Also, that's a staggeringly high figure, 500.
00:13:53.000That's not an attack on Saudi Arabia other than, I suppose, a reference to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
00:13:58.000He was chopped up in the consulate in Turkey, which led to Biden, while campaigning, saying, this dude's going to be a pariah.
00:14:07.000But in office, things went all a bit different, didn't they?
00:14:10.000What it also does is, for example, we were talking about the Pentagon leaks a few minutes ago, and everything around the Pentagon at the time was, this should not be in public hands, the public should not have information to this, this is the Pentagon, we are the military, we have authority here, we know what we're doing.
00:14:27.000You do know what you're doing for a few years, and then you retire and go and work for the very regimes who you've just gone and said should be pariahs.
00:14:35.000Can't we have any faith or trust in these institutions when we know that much of the clandestine redacted and concealed information's got stuff like, oh, guess what?
00:14:42.000When we leave work, we go work for countries that we've condemned as pariahs previously, that we know have records of human rights abuses.
00:15:32.000I mean, even just on the conversational level, stuff about Jackie Onassis, stuff about KGB spies being around the house, the hotline to Khrushchev.
00:15:40.000And then when it comes to the pandemic and Fauci, you lot, Yeah, I felt like I was, like, you know, I can handle a conspiracy theory.
00:15:46.000Like, Gareth afterwards goes, you know, like in, uh, Few Good Men, when Jack Nicholson goes, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
00:15:52.000And you sort of, the subtext of the minute would be, well, we can handle the truth, give us the truth.
00:16:16.000This isn't... We've got some serious coverage coming up in a minute about how drug promises and pledges made about the drug laws have been reneged on, as usual.
00:16:26.000But this is just an amazing, delightful I think it's Fox, actually.
00:19:35.000What it is, is like deep cover, like when you get involved in an operation or a community, but then it's somehow you are in vagals and you forget.
00:19:44.000Listen, this was just meant to be a news broadcast.
00:20:47.000You could put that up as a piece of art, really.
00:20:50.000You could use an installation and just say, look at where the culture is now.
00:20:53.000It's an incredible celebration, particularly when you look at the fact that Elsewhere, pledges are being made around decriminalization and declassification of drugs, in particular cannabis, ironically, that have not been kept.
00:21:07.000You're gonna love this story and how it leads to, oddly enough, the criticism, condemnation, and ability to criminalize certain classes of people.
00:21:16.000That's what you can do if you have certain substances that are culturally significant or emotionally necessary that are illegal.
00:21:31.000If cannabis isn't actually a gateway drug, then why is it still illegal?
00:21:38.000Particularly when the current administration said they were gonna de-schedule it.
00:21:42.000And who on earth thinks that the solution to all of this might be to bomb Mexico?
00:21:47.000Why are they still criminalizing drugs?
00:21:51.000We're talking about drug decriminalisation on the back of a debate on Fox News where Judge Janine predictably said the solution might be bomb Mexico.
00:21:58.000Is there a single problem that Judge Janine doesn't think can't be solved with a bomb?
00:22:11.000And remember, Joe Biden did run on a pledge to de-schedule cannabis use.
00:22:14.000So what is it about drug use and the potential awakening of minds and changing of perspective that means that drugs are continually used to fence people in and hem people in?
00:22:23.000Let's have a look at the Fox News debate.
00:22:25.000Look, I think you should target the cartels.
00:22:27.000Uh, while you negotiate with him, and I also think you gotta legalize drugs.
00:22:30.000I mean, the only way you're gonna have quality control, uh, like prescriptions, and the only way you're gonna stop fentanyl poisonings would be to legalize these drugs, which people want.
00:22:42.000Seems like a sensible solution proposed by Greg Gutfeld, a libertarian or indeed liberal solution, allowing people to do what they want as long as it doesn't affect other people.
00:22:52.000There is some precedent for decriminalization, notably in Portugal.
00:22:56.000Since it decriminalized all drugs in 2001, Portugal has seen dramatic drops in overdoses, HIV infection and drug-related crime.
00:25:17.000We all remember how successful that war on drugs has been from our own horrible struggle with drugs and from the opioid deaths of the last few years.
00:25:24.000And I don't care if President Obrador of Mexico thinks we're rude or thinks it's an insult that we would consider doing this.
00:25:30.000The truth is that if you've got 100,000 people dying, we're in a damn war right now.
00:25:36.000And these kids are not dying because they want to take fentanyl.
00:25:39.000They're dying because they want to take maybe an Adderall or maybe they want to take an oxycodone.
00:25:44.000This is extraordinary because the debate is actually moving away from the pharmaceutical companies who deliberately and manipulatively encouraged doctors, financially, to prescribe fentanyl knowing that it was addictive and harmful.
00:25:58.000This is an example, I suppose, of how the mainstream media, even in their framing of a conversation, prevents you from looking at the issue in its entirety.
00:26:05.000While I recognize that Fox News have been quite overt in their covering of the opioid crisis, fentanyl, the Sackler family, Purdue Pharma, Okay, and it's an undeclared war.
00:26:24.000That's when you get the control of it.
00:26:26.000When it, look, read about prohibition.
00:26:29.000The reason why people died during prohibition was because the alcohol wasn't controlled.
00:26:33.000Greg Gutfeld very much carrying on the mantle left behind by Tucker Carlson of providing
00:26:38.000a genuinely liberal and anti-establishment voice in a corporatized space.
00:26:43.000I wouldn't have believed it possible just five, ten years ago that you would ever see someone on Fox News who was salaried by them saying that drugs should be decriminalised, that the pharmaceutical industry are worse than drug dealers, ensuring that the debate is handled deftly.
00:27:13.000It's also lethal on the street, but not lethal when it's prescribed.
00:27:17.000Well, it's not lethal when it's prescribed.
00:27:19.000Yeah, I get it, but here's the problem.
00:27:21.000Is that the kids who don't want, necessarily, an illegal drug, and only want something that's ordinary, and that it's in everybody's medicine cabinet, end up taking something like... Because it's not regulated!
00:27:49.000If it was legal, that wouldn't have happened.
00:27:54.000But the truth is that people are dying of these overdoses because they don't think that there's fentanyl in it, or they don't know that there's that much.
00:28:03.000I will arrest my case, that's what I said.
00:28:05.000First of all, let me say, this was a fascinating conversation.
00:28:07.000Firstly, you guys have got a great marriage.
00:28:09.000That's what I want to say, and it's worth saving.
00:28:38.000You referenced... You take out the drug pins.
00:28:44.000If you could take out the drug kingpins, I mean, target the cartels with military strikes, as several prominent Republicans are advocating.
00:29:52.000There are a lot of very progressive liberal views being expressed in this debate and it's an indication of how much the taxonomies of media have shifted.
00:30:00.000It would have been unthinkable to see a debate where views were expressed articulately that were anti the war on drugs or anti legislation and regulation and criminalization and condemnation around those issues.
00:30:11.000It shows you in a sense that the old barometers, markers and categories are starting to melt away.
00:30:26.000But what this tells us, I think, is that the old values are shifting.
00:30:30.000This is somewhat under him by the recent revelation through study that cannabis is not as long presumed a gateway drug at all.
00:30:38.000Legalizing recreational cannabis at the state level does not increase substance use disorders or use of other illicit drugs among adults and in fact may reduce alcohol related problems according to new CU Boulder research.
00:30:49.000The study of more than 4,000 twins from Colorado and Minnesota also found no link between cannabis legalization and increases in cognitive psychological social relationship or financial problems.
00:30:58.000Of course, one of the campaign pledges of the Biden administration was that cannabis would be de-scheduled.
00:31:04.000In a campaign ad that hit YouTube seven days before the 2020 election, Biden said,
00:31:08.000as president, I'll work to reform the criminal justice system, improve community policing,
00:31:13.000decriminalize marijuana, and automatically expunge all prior marijuana convictions.
00:31:17.000According to a Gallup poll last fall, 68% of Americans said that they wanted to go beyond
00:31:23.000They want full federal legalization of the recreational use of marijuana by adults.
00:31:27.000The kinds of big dramatic steps in that direction that Biden promised would be attention grabbing and base mobilizing.
00:31:32.000It has 83% support among Democrats, but best of all, it wouldn't even be a potent issue for mobilizing conservative voters.
00:31:39.000That poll showed slightly more Republicans were for it, 50%, than against it, 49%.
00:31:44.000Other polls in the last few years have put the Republican for number even higher.
00:31:47.000A Pew poll in November 2019 found that 55% of Republican-leaning voters were pro-legalisation.
00:31:53.000When something like this has broad appeal and is broadly popular across both parties, I have genuine questions as to why it's not carried, and I feel that it might indicate a deeper set of psychological biases at an institutional level, As well as a means to incarcerate, stigmatize and criminalize people conveniently.
00:32:14.000Eventually, drugs will become decriminalized if not fully legalized because it simply doesn't make sense.
00:32:20.000It's a relic from a more legislative and prohibitive era that can't withstand the kind of conversations that we're currently having around identity, freedom, the right to be who you are.
00:32:30.000If people have the right to change aspects of their biological nature, which again, I have no strong opinion on.
00:32:36.000I support individual freedom full stop.
00:32:38.000Then certainly an issue like this is one that needs to be looked at.
00:32:42.000Hell, there's even a case for it from a pro-business Republican perspective.
00:32:45.000Legal weed businesses would finally be allowed to accept credit card payments.
00:32:49.000And yet, in April 22, he was reviewing powers that no one anywhere doubts that he has.
00:32:57.000Last July, three of the most high-profile senators in the Democratic caucus, 2020 presidential candidates Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, sent Biden a letter urging the administration to use its existing authority to de-schedule cannabis.
00:33:09.000They have a comparable authority when it comes to controlling pharmaceutical prices for serious diseases.
00:33:15.000We did a video on how a cancer drug that costs $100,000 a month could be white-labeled or threatened with white-label regulation, meaning it will be cheaply available to those that need it.
00:33:25.000So there are sort of areas of legislation and administration that don't make rational sense.
00:33:29.000And if something doesn't make rational sense, to me it's an indication that there's a sort of a faith-based ideological component that isn't obvious and evident.
00:33:37.000You know folks, it's just like Biden promised explicitly more than once and in so many words he would do when he was running for president.
00:33:43.000It's also like the overwhelming majority of Americans want him to do.
00:33:47.000Biden was a hardcore war on drugs hawk for most of his Senate career.
00:33:50.000Why did he promise to de-schedule cannabis when he was running for president?
00:33:53.000It's hard to see an answer to that question other than he knew it would be good politics.
00:33:57.000When Fox News is continually attacked, and we've participated in attacking Fox News, and yet they have more progressive, open-minded views on decriminalization than the apparently Democrat president, it makes you wonder what really controls American administration? How are decisions
00:34:12.000genuinely made? This is another example of not only the fact that pledges are made when
00:34:15.000running for office that simply aren't carried out during administration, but also that
00:34:19.000there appear to be guiding principles that are not obvious and evident and are certainly not
00:34:23.000connected to the will of ordinary people.
00:34:25.000Let me know what you think in the chat and the comments. I say all of this as a person
00:34:29.000in recovery who doesn't use drugs or alcohol one day at a time for a number of reasons,
00:34:34.000Let's have a look at the benefits of a new attitude towards drug and criminalization at the level of the state.
00:34:40.000Decriminalization changes the way we think about drugs.
00:34:43.000Drugs will no longer be treated as a criminal issue, but instead a health and social one.
00:34:47.000This means that instead of addressing drugs through handcuffs, the focus will be on the root causes of drug use, including inequities rooted in housing and healthcare.
00:34:54.000Perhaps it's these deep roots that cause legislation to remain entrenched, that you have to acknowledge that, ultimately, drugs, when used pathologically, are a response to trauma, sadness, social decline, all points that are covered by Greg Gutfield in that debate, and seemingly unacknowledged by the Biden administration, which doesn't seem to tally with how most Democrats would regard Fox News versus the Democrat Party.
00:35:23.000A large proportion of the justice system, police, courts, prisons, are occupied with drug-related crimes.
00:35:28.000As seen in other decriminalized jurisdictions, such as Portugal, it can reduce the demands and costs to this system.
00:35:34.000Considering the demonstrated need for addiction and mental health resources, the money saved could be well spent elsewhere, such as community-led responses, healthcare housing, and social programs.
00:35:43.000For example, eliminating criminal records related to drug possession offences promotes opportunities for people to access employment and housing.
00:35:49.000Interactions between people who use drugs and police can also be reduced, or better yet, won't happen at all.
00:35:56.000Negative views towards drugs and people who use them is a major factor in the overdose crisis.
00:36:01.000By reshaping the way our family, friends and the medical profession think about drugs, drugs can be talked about more openly and honestly.
00:36:07.000Reducing stigma can also encourage people who use drugs to talk to their doctors about prescription-based therapies.
00:36:12.000At the very least, it will help bring drug use out from isolation where fatal overdoses tend to be the highest.
00:36:18.000I suppose that failure to change this legislation reveals that the government are out of touch with the population that they are charged with governing and out of touch with their own declared ethics.
00:36:29.000Here's another indication of That there has been a divorce between the public and the people that govern them, and that there are shifting sands in the media landscape where presumed opinions are starting to shift an order.
00:36:39.000It also indicates that authoritarianism now is housed within the left, and in particular within the Democrat Party.
00:36:44.000Not that I'm saying that the Republican Party is meaningfully better, just that the liberalism that used to underwrite the modern Democratic Party is no longer in evidence.
00:36:52.000Even with an issue that would seem, according to this article, like an easy win.
00:36:57.000That authoritarianism, the ability to legislate and the ability to control, is more important to them than fulfilling their promises or cost-effective policies that would make a difference in people's lives.
00:37:07.000We all saw in the last couple of years that the tendency to legislate, regulate and support Big Pharma almost appeared to have a kind of tidal, meteorological power, rather than the declared ideologies of an apparently liberal democracy.
00:37:22.000Although some people fear that decriminalization may increase or encourage drug use, this concern is simply not supported by evidence.
00:37:28.000We know from dozens of countries, states and cities that have decriminalized drugs, that use does not significantly increase.
00:37:34.000In some places, it's actually decreased.
00:37:36.000Decriminalization also lowers overdose and disease rates while increasing people's access to social services and healthcare.
00:37:42.000In this way, a decriminalization model is a basic harm reduction approach mitigating the harms experienced by people who use drugs by eliminating or minimizing the source of those harms, criminalization.
00:37:53.000Overall, the notion of decriminalization is not a panacea or a standalone solution to the harms of drug prohibition, but it is a critical step in the right direction.
00:38:01.000It will have a positive impact on the lives of so many people who are harmed daily from criminalization.
00:38:06.000This, I suppose, is an attitude that could be applied to drug use across the board, from less harmful substances like cannabis, all the way to plainly more toxic substances like heroin.
00:38:15.000Within it is the revelation of a philosophy that's closer to Judge Janine there, bomb them, arrest them, control them, wage war on them, than Greg Gutfield, who's, let's face it, espousing liberal, sensible views that are focused on the sources of the problem rather than attacking the symptoms.
00:38:32.000That's what progressivism used to mean.
00:38:35.000Having an assessment of social situations and individual liberty that's about practical solutions rather than imposing regulation and legislation and criminality on people when it's actually completely unnecessary and ultimately harmful.
00:38:50.000I would say it's almost an indication of an unconscious desire to control, an unwillingness to fulfill pledges and promises that would meaningfully benefit people.
00:38:58.000And as a person in recovery, myself from drug addiction to a whole raft of substances, I can tell you from personal experience, both for me as an individual and the people that I've spent time with and worked with, that criminalization is an obstacle to recovery.
00:39:10.000It stops people getting well, It puts problems and barriers in their way, increases prison populations, it damages people's health, it breaks down society in the social fabric.
00:39:19.000And if you're a deeply cynical person, you would say that the state government, in alliance with global corporatists, have a vested interest in the continuing dismantling of our social systems so that what they're dealing with is a disparate, broken population rather than a healthy, fit and awakened one.

00:40:58.000time for football is nice. Hello and welcome to football is nice.
00:41:10.000On Football is Nice today, we're going to be reacting to Man City versus Real Madrid.
00:41:14.000Hopefully not in the way that Erling Haaland's father did by throwing stuff around.
00:41:19.000We're going to be looking at the forthcoming fixtures and making our predictions, talking about the forthcoming relegation battle, as well as responding to your comments.
00:41:29.000Like, for example, dhenz32 or 321 says, how about you give us Yanks a quick rundown of how your football Your football works.
00:41:38.000Do you have play-offs in some sort of championship system?
00:42:18.000And they do have things called playoffs there where they can like the top two teams go up and then there's playoffs between the next four teams to see which one comes up.
00:42:27.000West Ham occasionally drop down the team that I support into that league.
00:42:30.000And of course, the World Cup is between nations rather than these professional sports franchises, as you might call them in your country.
00:44:44.000Uh, AJ's, uh, mates saved, you know, that sort of, uh, fraternity-type prank that you love so well in America to shave off someone's eyebrows when they're drunk.
00:45:20.000While continuing to talk about people's physical appearances, I want to say that I've noticed this week that a lot of managers have an assistant that looks like them.
00:48:54.000But for some reason, you two talking about it entertains me.
00:48:56.000Well, the reason we do it is because it takes us into a more relaxed Manner of broadcasting, because we spend all our time talking about bringing down the government, deep state corruption, the corporatisation of politics, how to defuse the culture war, and frankly it's terrifying and exhausting.
00:49:14.000I mean, wait till you get a load of Friday's show with RFK, you know, shown inside the establishment, stuff about the pandemic, so heavy that sometimes it's nice to just talk about football in a relaxed way. I mean, in a way it's a selfish
00:49:29.000thing for us to do because we're actually paid to do this. But you're also supposed to
00:49:33.000do things not many do. I've got some things I want to point out to you, Gareth, and I'd
00:50:21.000That's confusing, because in my mind, BT still means, like, well, when I was a boy, BT, British Telecom, because it was publicly owned and paid for by the public, then they sold it back to the public for some money, and then they didn't give it back to the public.
00:50:34.000It's this thing they did during when I was growing up.
00:50:36.000They went We're gonna sell your stuff!
00:52:13.000In fact, I've got a tattoo of Colin, my stepdad, in the mid-back area.
00:52:17.000Over here by the buttock is my dog getting hit by a bicycle being ridden by the gas man.
00:52:21.000Oh, there's the fire in the allotment.
00:52:24.000It's all there, up and down the old back.
00:52:26.000Because you told me that thing when we were in LA together and I caught something that fell off a table and your kids were really impressed with it.
00:52:33.000And then you said that they said to you something like, I'd be able to catch you or something.
00:52:39.000One night at bedtime, I was, like, making me retell another sad story of when I was sent away to school and my gerbils cage got knocked off.
00:52:48.000It's one of those things where, that's why I try to pay attention to my intuition now.
00:52:52.000Because on that day, right, when I was 11, my intuition said to me, careful of this gerbils cage, which is not even a proper gerbils cage, it's an on-its-side rabbit arch filled with sawdust, because I'd had a rabbit before, but I thought I could keep the gerbils in there just by turning it on its back and having the cage there.
00:53:12.000Anyway, like, I perched it on the edge while I'm cleaning it out, and of course it fell.
00:53:16.000Now Barney, who is the mother of the journal balls, because I thought she was a boy when I got her, but then she had all these babies, she was crushed when the cage fell on top of her.
00:53:33.000I can't see how they could have independently remained buoyant under such difficult circumstances.
00:53:38.000Although in some ways it's possible, because they say that they'd done, this is somewhat apocryphal, that they'd done a study on lottery winners and people that had become paraplegic as a result of an accident in life.
00:53:48.000And the lottery winners that was miserable fuckers stayed miserable.
00:54:23.000Like, it could be Platoon, it could be a Terrence Malick film, it's one of those films, and then it plays that sort of music, duh, and everything's all slow motion, and they're looking around.
00:54:53.000Like, I don't know why, they're trying to help me process it, I think.
00:54:56.000They went, it's a shame you weren't friends with Gareth then because Gareth could have caught that gerbil cage because they'd seen Gareth catch a bowl that someone knocked over at a meal that we were at.
00:55:06.000And Gareth went like that and caught it very quick, very impressive.
00:55:22.000Because in a way, Gareth does do that job in a way, because my blunders that could potentially lead to travesty and problems are often caught by Gareth.
00:55:41.000Think of the ongoing, in a Schindler's List way, like think of all the descendants of those gerbils that would have been saved had I been there.
00:55:52.000You could have been the Oskar Schindler, but of gerbils.
00:56:50.000So, Steve McManaman, formerly of Liverpool and, of course, Real Madrid, like, when there was, like, a penalty claim at one point in the game, said, oh, it's getting ridiculous.
00:57:44.000You would have thought so, but I guess he's a proper pundit, isn't he?
00:57:49.000If you know a lot about football, right, or even just are culturally interested in football, here are some things that you oddly will know.
01:01:10.000So Stockley Park, people say, Oh, we're gonna have to see what you know, Stockley Park, it's just become Yeah, oh, it's a synoptic a synecdoche.
01:03:31.000I really like that moment that Peggy came towards you, and you thought she was leaning in to give you a kiss, and actually what she was doing is leaning into the mic to say, poo-poo, bum-bum, fucking hell.
01:03:43.000I felt the kind of pride, like she is actually already, ah, the pupil has surpassed the teacher.
01:03:49.000I thought she was coming to cuddle me, but she was coming to just rain down expletives on the mic.
01:03:54.000You know, like, um, that's what they think my job is.
01:03:56.000Like, I'm going to work now, and they go, I go, what do you think my job is?
01:04:01.000And like, they go, oh, fucking hell, bum, poo, willy.
01:05:01.000Fulham beat Leicester, condemning Leicester to the championship and meaning there'll be a bonanza fire sale at Leicester with players like Thieleman and Maddison and maybe Vardy.
01:07:07.000But there are more cases for teams who haven't spent as much doing well than there are teams who've spent a lot of money doing badly, I would suggest.
01:07:14.000When that happens, it's disgusting and mental, innit?
01:07:56.000A million quid, he's in the Champions League semi-final, it's crazy.
01:07:59.000Cos what Chelsea are, and forgive me if you're a Chelsea fan, cos I've obviously got friends that are fans of every club there is, and so I think of my friend Parker, who loves Chelsea, I've got my mate, old, what's that mate, Lil Liam, he's a Chelsea fan, Uncle Rick, Chelsea fan, I know lots of Chelsea fans, but this is what they are.
01:08:18.000Superficial glory hunters without souls.
01:08:25.000Because, look, we're a Chelsea fan, they've corralled together these Russian purchased spoils, haven't they?
01:08:35.000And they're out of touch with reality, aren't they?
01:08:40.000And if they went down, like, they can't go down.
01:08:42.000But, like, it's just such a mad experiment.
01:08:44.000And that Todd Burley, or whatever he's called, who's bought Chelsea, an American fella, no disrespect, who's bought them off the Russian, he looks like Luke Skywalker when he's old.
01:08:55.000When Luke Skywalker's on an island and he's gone wrong...
01:08:58.000Look, Todd Burley, there's a comparison to it.
01:09:00.000When Luke Skywalker lost his dignity and he's on an island and he's forgotten everything he ever stood for, that's what Todd Burley, if that's indeed the correct way to say his name... Anyway.
01:09:40.000The way the city has built since the shake money came in, you can't discount that.
01:09:46.000That's absolutely crazy talk to do that.
01:09:47.000I understand what they're saying about Man United, but they've been badly managed.
01:09:51.000It's not to say there aren't other criteria.
01:09:53.000I think Man City, fair play, there's no financial fair play unless every time Man City buy a player for themselves, they've got to buy a player for someone else.
01:10:02.000I don't understand this system of yours.
01:10:53.000I, at that point, like many Americans, was asking questions because this didn't look right.
01:10:59.000How can you speak out openly against these kind of interests, let alone try and mobilize a political movement and stand against them without serious fear of, well, assassination?
01:11:09.000It wasn't just Fauci, it was the whole US intelligence military apparatus that was basically... Simply not possible for you to answer that question on YouTube.
01:11:17.000They were bragging that they could kill everybody, basically everybody in the world for 29 cents a person.
01:11:25.000What you're saying, Robert, even leaves many hardened conspiracy theorists quivering like Boy Scouts.
01:11:33.000None of this is stuff that we should be doing.
01:11:38.000This is a war where Ukraine has been made a victim, not just by Russia, but by the United States government.
01:11:44.000We have to just say, wait a minute, we've got to stop fighting each other, and we've got to go after the people who have their jackboot on our head.
