00:00:00.000I'm going to go ahead and get the camera.
00:02:10.000you Hello there, you Awakening Wanderers.
00:02:12.000Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand, when we could be on the very precipice of nuclear war.
00:02:19.000So let's put all of our problems into perspective because, you know, when Armageddon comes, we're going to have to radically reorganize, but there's no need to put aside conviviality, congeniality, and good old-fashioned politeness.
00:02:32.000Swazi Steve Welcome to the Locals Chat.
00:02:35.000Thank you for becoming an Awakened Wonder.
00:02:37.000You know, our Awakened Wonder community is important.
00:02:40.000They've already seen our conversation today with Rand Paul when we asked him whether or not he would be replacing Mitch McConnell as the minority leader in the Senate.
00:02:50.000You can see his answer to that, as well as some of these views on Anthony Fauci.
00:02:54.000Just one of the benefits of becoming a member of our movement is you get to directly speak to political leaders, independent thinkers, and the very people that are going to come together Potentially to end global Armageddon.
00:03:06.000We've got some fantastic content on the show today.
00:03:09.000We're looking at that moment between Kid Rock and Joe Rogan, where Joe Rogan showed more diplomacy and elegance than, wow, I don't know, James Baldwin.
00:03:19.000Certainly any member of the current administration who in their bellicosity would shame Genghis Khan.
00:03:28.000So listen, for the first 15 minutes, we are going to be On YouTube over there, but you are going to eventually have to click the link in the description to join us in that stream of freedom.
00:03:51.000Now, the reason that our man Vladimir Putin.
00:03:54.000And when I say our man, I don't mean I advocate for or in any way support Vladimir Putin.
00:03:58.000That should be obvious to all but the silliest of sausages.
00:04:02.000It seems to be because he's somewhat agitated that NATO is indeed getting bigger with the invitation of Sweden, the inclusion of Sweden into NATO.
00:04:12.000Let me know in the comments, do you feel safer knowing Sweden is in NATO?
00:06:39.000Thank you very much, all of you guys, because I think when you're talking about potential nuclear apocalypse, it's pretty important that we are heard.
00:06:48.000Absolutely vital, in fact, I would argue.
00:06:51.000Let's have a look at the rest of Putin's announcement, which seems to be precisely what many people anticipated.
00:06:59.000The clear statement that if NATO continues to expand, in particular, one assumes, on former Soviet Union borders, it's going to be A problem?
00:07:36.000So even though the support of Ukraine and Ukrainian sovereignty with all of its complexity, when you consider how this war began and whether or not it indeed It means the destruction of civilization.
00:07:46.000sponsored coup and with the New York Times who previously denied it admitting
00:07:50.000that there are CIA bases in Ukraine and have been for the last 10 years is it
00:07:55.000worth us prioritizing perhaps a diplomatic solution to a problem that
00:08:00.000could lead to an actual literal nuclear war?
00:08:05.000Russian army looking pretty hard so it seems though that even though what Vladimir Putin
00:08:19.000saying was pretty important many people watching it are bored out of their
00:08:52.000Perhaps you'll be unified with love itself.
00:08:55.000Perhaps that vibrant nothingness within you in which your thoughts take place, within which you feel sensations, this vibrant nothingness that is consciousness itself, perhaps the very I that Christ refers to when he says that the way to the Father is through I. Perhaps when Thomas Aquinas says the kingdom of heaven is within, perhaps this vibrant nothingness is what we will return to.
00:09:17.000After Armageddon, perhaps that's why so many warmongers of previous hawkish Republican administrations appeared to welcome the rapture.
00:09:25.000Remember your late, great, magnificent Bill Hicks saying, tell me when, Lord, tell me when.
00:09:31.000Does it not worry you that Republicans, with their fundamentalist Christian beliefs, including that wacky fire and brimstone ending, They've had their finger on the button for the last 15 years.
00:09:40.000Do you all remember that magnificent moment?
00:11:21.000Right, now, I'm going to tell you, you're going to be a bit cheesed off because it's a nuclear war now, because I've had about enough of this.
00:11:27.000Right, you've pushed me to my bloody limits now.
00:13:24.000Like, that's like, it's the neoliberal establishment that elsewhere is advocating continually, they say, for, like, sort of diversity and egalitarianism and sometimes even utopianism, but, like, they really want to ag out Russia to the point of nuclear war.
00:14:37.000That's to stop people pointing out constant hypocrisy, like the hypocrisy of Macron, that globalist haircut numero uno, saying that French troops could be... Is he saying boots on the ground or is he saying conscription?
00:14:50.000French booties, le boots on le ground in... Sorry.
00:14:56.000There is no consensus right now about sending in ground troops in an official, endorsed and sanctioned manner.
00:15:04.000But in reality, nothing should be ruled out.
00:15:07.000We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war.
00:15:12.000Oh good, well how did that go with Napoleon Macron?
00:15:33.000Supreme Court said it will decide on whether Donald Trump can be prosecuted for alleged interference with a 2020 election, throwing into jeopardy whether it goes to trial before the 2024 election.
00:15:43.000I suppose what this reveals is that the anti-Trump plan is not beat Trump electorally or democratically.
00:15:50.000Remember these wars that we're engaged in are usually to protect democracy, right?
00:15:55.000And as Mike Benz, who's coming on our show, says, when people talk about democracy, what they mean is a set of institutions, not the process of elections.
00:16:04.000Institutions like, I don't know, NATO.
00:16:06.000A set of institutions like the military-industrial complex.
00:16:09.000That's what we're protecting now because, you know, Ukraine don't have elections.
00:16:12.000You could say they're in the middle of a really difficult war and certainly sympathy should be extended to them.
00:16:17.000Russell, for some of us just listening to your show that don't speak Russian, please explain what the hell he's saying.
00:16:22.000Well, I did a pretty good job of the translation, I thought.
00:16:24.000Now let's have a look at this decision that's been made to potentially not prosecute or even go to trial with Trump prior to November the 5th, meaning that if there is indeed an establishment plan to politically persecute Trump, and remember over here We think that decentralised unified opposition to the establishment in all its forms is the answer.
00:16:49.000Let's see if they're going to flap and panic and engage in yet more hysteria as they begin to understand that, you know, whatever happens when this decision is made by the Supreme Court, it ain't going to happen before the election.
00:17:03.000So you'd have to beat Trump by maybe appealing to voters?
00:17:07.000By letting voters know that this ain't worth voting for?
00:17:10.000Like listen, we can see you're getting a bit fed up with these forever wars that are costing you a fortune while your infrastructure fails, so we're going to stop the forever wars where 70% of pentagon budgets end up in the hands of the military-industrial complex.
00:17:23.00014 trillion since the Afghanistan war that you ain't seen nothing back for.
00:17:27.000We're going to amend our trajectory or should we just continue to just criticise Continue to criticize Donald Trump and hope that that's sufficient.
00:17:36.000Sorry for you guys that it keeps crashing.
00:17:52.000Let's have a look at MSNBC reacting to the Trump Supreme Court situation.
00:17:58.000His trial of former President Trump is now delayed, if not potentially, mooted until the election.
00:18:04.000I want to show you briefly the legal calendar we've made because there is still another trial schedule.
00:18:09.000You may recall, the confirmed trial you see in the center of your screen is that Green Arrow, the hush money trial scheduled for New York.
00:18:15.000It's quite like this horse race of various Trump trials and like they're like which one of these things can we use to scupper that campaign?
00:18:24.000Which thing can we do rather than make the Dems electable?
00:18:28.000Maybe by God getting rid of Joe Biden.
00:18:31.000Maybe by introducing some policies that ordinary Americans care about.
00:18:37.000It's a local criminal trial but not as serious As what everyone had their eye on, the DOJ coup trial.
00:18:42.000What you see just above it to the right is now our updated information.
00:18:46.000The SCOTUS appeal will take place as mentioned in April.
00:18:49.000So we have in March a criminal trial on what is an older and lesser set of events.
00:18:55.000Other rumble streams not glitching, only yours.
00:18:57.000I suppose you guys that are still watching on YouTube could let us know in the chat there, is it glitching on YouTube?
00:19:03.000Let us know that and that'll be some important information for us to review in a second.
00:19:06.000Veracruz Veins, constant interruptions in Russell's streams there.
00:19:11.000Nearly said Russia streams, perhaps that's because, you know, we do so much valuable Russian propaganda here in saying that a nuclear war won't benefit anybody.
00:19:20.000Let's have a look at Rachel Maddow's reaction on MSNBC.
00:19:24.000Can someone get back to me from the gallery on how the stream is doing on YouTube?
00:19:27.000If you're watching this still on YouTube, let us know how the stream is on YouTube.
00:19:35.000So let's have a look at Rachel Maddow's reaction to this decision.
00:19:40.000I mean again we've had to relegate this issue in significance because Putin's just said he will wage war on NATO but up until like you know before this happened we were thinking well it's pretty important that IOR have kicked Trump off the ballot even though Iowa doesn't seem to be a significant Territory in the overall trajectory, so it's more a gesture than anything else.
00:23:02.000The aging process is slipping away and my muscle recovery is intense.
00:23:06.000There's many studies, nearly 1,500, that prove that by neutralizing harmful free radicals in your gut, And empowering free radicals in society.
00:23:14.000You can improve your heart, reduce your chance of diabetes, reduce wrinkles and skin issues.
00:23:20.000I mean, this stuff is good as gold, isn't it?
00:24:08.000You guys are going to love this because what she's going to do, I believe, is continue to escalate the threat of Trump rather than give the Democrat party that she advocates for the reckoning that it requires in order for something to meaningfully change.
00:24:36.000We had plenty of questions asked by our audience and it went really, really well.
00:24:41.000One of the questions, you know, we've talked a lot about Anthony Fauci, but we talk about the decay of the heart of American political life and you will love it.
00:24:46.000Also, we've got our Joe Rogan Kid Rock video coming up.
00:24:50.000In a way, Kid Rock voices the views of some of the more hawkish elements of the American political establishment.
00:24:54.000And Joe Rogan, he's pretty fantastic in this.
00:25:01.000OK, let's have a look at the rest of the matter.
00:25:03.000While they were president, I mean, it would be fully insane for them to actually side with Trump here.
00:25:10.000The conclusion that we can arrive at now, based on what they have done without having to wait for the ruling, is that they are ensuring that Trump will not face trial.
00:25:18.000And when they inevitably rule that presidents aren't immune from prosecution after they leave office.
00:25:35.000I don't mean that because Rachel Maddow is a woman and there is a connection between females and hysteria culturally because I'm a pretty hysterical guy some days.
00:25:49.000What I'm saying is is that the left is about using hysteria but masking it as rationalism because what Rachel Maddow I think is about to say is Trump will make himself president for life and there's no evidence for that.
00:26:03.000It's a bit like when you see Nancy Pelosi just come on your TV and say, well listen, do you know what's going on?
00:26:55.000And if he is voted out in 2028, he cannot leave office and he is willing to commit, he is welcome to commit any crimes he wants to as long as he is still president in order to ignore the result of that election and stay in power for life because otherwise he is going to go to prison when he gets out.
00:27:32.000Now, it seems that the Democrat establishment do have things to fear insomuch as Trump is starting to poll well outside of what I suppose has to be regarded as his traditional base, i.e.
00:27:42.000Hispanic and non-white folk like black people, African-Americans, are getting banged into Trump.
00:27:47.000That seems to be a story that's circulating.
00:27:52.000Multiple polls in recent weeks have shown that Trump is performing historically well among black and Hispanic voters in head-to-head match-ups with President Biden.
00:27:58.000Helping put him neck-and-neck with Biden.
00:28:00.000I don't want to think about their two necks together, do you?
00:28:55.000But you know where Donald Trump stands on these issues.
00:28:58.000If sitting out and not voting for Biden means that you may be helping Donald Trump get elected, is that a risk worth taking?
00:29:04.000I mean, that's a question that I put back on the president.
00:29:06.000You know, I didn't get us to this point, but Biden did.
00:29:09.000And that might come down to us experiencing short-term pain with Trump in office for long-term gain, where we have to have a Democratic Party that actually stands on its values.
00:29:28.000I mean, that's the, that's the fissure, the small margin we're living in now.
00:29:34.000No optimism, no hope, no inspiration, no love, no vision.
00:29:38.000You know, it's extraordinary and it's frightening that One side is interested only in presenting Donald Trump as a boogeyman and engaging in ongoing lawfare, and my concern is that the other side won't embrace, celebrate, heal all America!
00:31:01.000This bitch really just looks off into the distance and says, doesn't that create more hate?
00:31:06.000And I mean, maybe it's just because it's in contrast to Kid Rock, but I swear you, it sounds like to me, like, this is what I think about Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan.
00:31:15.000The constant condemnation and dismissal of these cultural figures reveals a kind of metropolitan elitism that's at its core about loathing Ordinary people and ordinary people's tastes.
00:31:26.000It's the revelation of a kind of snobbery and the continued attribution of unacceptable characteristics to figures in that demographic like, and that demographic at large, i.e.
00:31:39.000racism, just one example, is a technique to stop, in order to facilitate, not bloody listening and not caring.
00:31:47.000But if you actually look at Joe Rogan here, you'd feel like, get that dude, As an ally to whatever political movement you're advocating for, unless your political movement don't care about ending war, for example, and that's the truth, isn't it?
00:32:03.000The Uni Party wants war with Russia or China, wants war in the Middle East, wants to perpetuate the Ukraine-Russia war.
00:32:10.000Now I know that within that there are sort of varieties, there's a spectrum and there are disputes, but Who is it that's saying no more war?
00:32:18.000If you want to have a kind of nativist, America first, if you want to control your borders, perhaps part of that is no more war.
00:33:20.000Joe Rogan discusses Middle Eastern politics with Kid Rock.
00:33:25.000How is it that meathead UFC commentator Joe Rogan speaks with more diplomacy and common sense than ice cream-licking, aviator-wearing, basket-case President of the United States Joe Biden?
00:33:39.000Okay, so today, Joe Rogan and Kid Rock discussing the Middle East.
00:33:43.000And there's a point where, in the haughty world of mainstream media, you say, who cares?
00:33:47.000Kid Rock, that sort of white rapper fella, and Joe Rogan, the podcaster, who cares what either of them think?
00:33:53.000But one of the things that new media is exposed is that people like Joe Rogan have as much right to discuss political issues as people like What do you think?
00:34:01.000We're all wondering this question, Speaker Pelosi.
00:34:02.000guy's perspectives or Nancy Pelosi just pulling conspiracy theories out the air and saying
00:34:07.000them on television and Jen Psaki, former government messaging person, now MSNBC host, just sort
00:34:12.000of going, yeah, tell us some more things that you think off the top of your head, Nancy.
00:34:47.000He's a man who shoots from the hip as part of his general method of communication.
00:34:52.000So on the subject of Middle East, it's hardly surprising that some of his perspectives were, in my view, kind of a little harsh.
00:34:57.000I mean, he referenced Nagasaki and Hiroshima as sort of positive outcomes at one point, which I found difficult having sort of watched those things.
00:35:04.000Look, Kid Rock, just watch Oppenheimer.
00:35:12.000Okay, but what's perhaps interesting is that Joe Rogan is a person that the left or the liberal establishment, or let's call it the Democrat Party, sort of sneer about and ridicule on mainstream television.
00:35:22.000But he's the sort of star or celebrity or whatever you want to call it that would You'd think be valuable if what you cared about was an anti-war perspective, individual freedom and sovereignty, tolerance for a variety of views, and being diplomatic about a difficult situation, and actually calling the situation in the Middle East what many people believe it is, a war crime.
00:36:09.000Joe Rogan's actually clearly a really reflective person, saying like, the apocalypse spreads like a fog, some people's apocalypse has already happened, and it's difficult not to imagine that were you an occupant of Gaza, living amidst the endless hail of bombs, that indeed it is Armageddon, particularly as it's taking place under the auspices of territorial and religious I mean, I don't really know that there's a more accurate definition of Armageddon available for us, except for, I don't know, that Bruce Willis film.
00:36:38.000It doesn't seem like an appropriate thing to mention.
00:36:39.000Kid Rock will probably use it as a reference in a minute, because Kid Rock has got some, what seemed to me, pretty... I mean, he seemed pretty confident in his perspective, let's say.
00:36:47.000I mean, we're rude about Kid Rock, because perhaps one day I'll meet Kid Rock and I don't want him to shoot me.
00:36:51.000And when I look at it that way, I'm like... The only wars we won were fucking ones where we were the most brutal motherfuckers on the planet.
00:36:58.000Already, you're getting the idea that Kid Rock's got some strong views.
00:37:01.000Now, like, I know that there are people in our streams, in our comments, that seem to have similarly, let's call them aggressive, perspectives, but I'm pretty certain myself that there will be no resolution in that direction.
00:37:13.000Like, even when you look at what appears at least through the lens of history and the propaganda that we read to have been a sort of cut-and-dry black-and-white victory, the victory over Nazism, and anyone would surely agree that Nazism, as most people understand it, was bad, I can't help but ask questions like, you know, Project Paperclip, the number of Nazi scientists that ended up working in the United States.
00:37:32.000I mean, even something black and white like that, or, you know, Churchill, one of the greatest, often, it's argued, the greatest ever Englishman participated in the annihilation of the people of Dresden.
00:37:43.000In a sense, if you're looking for not even utopia, but meaningful, reasonable progress, you don't look back to the Second World War as a sort of golden age.
00:37:54.000Which, I don't disagree with what Israel's doing.
00:37:56.000It's like, It's so extraordinary to feel that we're not collectively with our human capacities looking for an alternative to what's happening in Gaza and that there are people that feel that that is the best possible outcome and indeed will argue vociferously for it as Kidrock
00:38:15.000They should just go in there and be like, you know what?
00:39:20.000I would have liked the cutaway of Joe Rogan at the Nagasaki Hiroshima moment because what Joe Rogan subsequently says is an indication that he found that a difficult image to deal with.
00:39:31.000Yes, we don't have Supreme Leader anymore.
00:39:33.000We did not know you had such big bombs.
00:39:35.000Yeah, but everybody has big bombs now.
00:39:37.000The problem is you use a big bomb, you set a precedent that they can use a big bomb.
00:39:56.000Like he's so patient and tolerant and you can't just nuclear bomb people.
00:40:00.000Someone's gotta fucking- The problem with the legacy media is they think that Joe Rogan is Kid Rock but look at Joe Rogan and look at Kid Rock.
00:40:09.000Joe Rogan is clearly a kind of this is not good is it this situation in the Middle East and his impact speaks For itself.
00:40:17.000The net impact of Joe Rogan is positive, isn't it?
00:40:19.000That's like someone who's inviting people that wouldn't listen to... They're not listening to Rachel Maddow, the people that listen to this.
00:40:25.000And they're hearing, yeah, you can't just nuclear bomb people.
00:40:27.000Yeah, that's why the landscape's changing, actually.
00:40:29.000That's why Republicans aren't the de facto default party of war.
00:40:34.000Because libertarianism, individualism and whatever sort of new emergent ideologies are coming out of this new technological space.
00:40:40.000You are more sensitive to really important issues like war.
00:40:44.000And war is becoming, obviously, a defining issue because it's pervasive and unending.
00:40:49.000I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn't say nuclear- I didn We can't bring you this content without the support of our partners and in this instance it's a very appropriate partner because you're an awakened wonder and you know that there's every possibility that your communications are being spied on.

00:42:57.000Because Kid Rock actually has continual recourse to the kind of militarism that I'm sure many people will be dismissive of in the form of a cultural figure like Kid Rock.
00:43:06.000That's actually policy in a lot of courses.
00:43:08.000Like Lindsey Graham, that's what he's saying.
00:43:22.000And Joe Rogan is a continually maligned, several occasions broadly attacked, figure of in some spaces, and they're relevant spaces, figure of ridicule.
00:43:30.000And I'm I would sort of invite those people that sort of like have him portrayed on SNL in the manner he was or throughout CNN's coverage of the ivermectin stuff.
00:43:38.000You don't want that introduced into the mainstream.
00:43:50.000In this, you get more diplomacy than in the Democratic Party's policy at the moment, and you certainly get more discourse, and you certainly get more open-mindedness.
00:43:58.000So how dare those institutions be critical, condemnatory and dismissive of Joe Rogan and what Joe Rogan represents, which is plainly a huge portion of the American population.
00:44:09.000And after this, thank God, because those people will be hearing, Hang on a minute, you can't just keep bombing everyone and expect it all to kind of just work out.
00:44:23.000Not just someone licking a bloody ice cream or Lindsey Graham saying, bomb, bomb, bomb them.
00:44:27.000These are mainstream political figures.
00:44:28.000And I think perhaps something I've not really considered before is one of the symptoms of the emerging independent media space is like people are going, I'd rather have that person as president.
00:44:37.000Like you start to see that they're not an elite class.
00:44:40.000Like, Boris Johnson wasn't made in a laboratory as far as we know, and that Joe Biden doesn't have a divine right to rule, and the Clintons aren't better and cleverer than everyone else, and all those Ivy League schools and all of those institutions and CNN and MSNBC, they're not cleverer.
00:44:55.000than ordinary people. They're not better. And once you start to challenge those hierarchies,
00:45:00.000you start to see it quake on a fundamental issue like war, you realize, ah, that's what's
00:45:05.000happening now. The system is falling apart. New things are emerging. And the people that need it
00:45:09.000to stay the same are trying to create endless crises to legitimize ever increasing authoritarianism.
00:45:44.000You might not think that that's an earth shattering observation from Joe Rogan, but if you take a moment to reflect on the consequences of the Afghanistan and Iraq war and how closely they align with his prognosis for this conflict, you start to recognize that it might be valuable to have Antony Blinken or Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton or any one of these people say, look, the problem is with this ever-escalating tension in the Middle East is that it can't really ever end, can it?
00:46:11.000Even if you annihilate everybody there, wouldn't that ultimately lead to sympathy and more fracture, fissure and war within the region?
00:46:18.000And with this conflict between Ukraine and Russia, ultimately isn't that going to lead to an ever-escalating crisis with a nuclear-armed super-state?
00:46:26.000And what's the point in provoking China?
00:46:28.000You don't have to do this for very long.
00:46:30.000And bearing in mind this is a conversation between Joe Rogan and Kid Rock, before we start to question the entire And people are doing that on an unprecedented scale and that is why you've now got a censorship industrial complex.
00:46:40.000That's why you've got two political parties that basically agree with one another on absolutely everything.
00:46:44.000And that's why you've got a discontented population that are actually crying out for change.
00:46:49.000Whether it's people on the cultural left or people on the cultural right, they're crying out for change.
00:46:53.000We don't want these institutions posing as democracy anymore because when it comes to a clear-cut subject like war, it's all they're advocating for.
00:47:02.000There's no one in the political space saying anything as radical as Joe Rogan.
00:47:06.000In fact I don't think there's anyone on MSNBC or CNN saying isn't this going to escalate endlessly and potentially on that particular issue.
00:47:12.000I don't know how it all carves up anymore.
00:47:13.000That's why I have a position of why don't we not have any wars and always look for an immediate diplomatic solution where possible and in particular align with the
00:47:22.000people that are in an inferior position and lend the might of the
00:47:25.000global community in particular the United States nation towards the trajectory
00:47:29.000of peace and diplomacy as Joe Rogan is advocating for there rather than
00:47:32.000arming them and having various positions dependent on the conflict. The attitude
00:47:36.000towards Ukraine is clearly different from the attitude on Israel and that's a
00:47:39.000problem because it means there are no values or principles at the heart of it
00:47:42.000just an agenda that relates for their long-term objectives surely.
00:48:06.000That's actually a war crime what you've done there.
00:48:09.000It seems like a more reasoned way to run the country.
00:48:12.000Isn't this the perfect compromise that everybody wants?
00:48:15.000Isn't this what the Republican demographic sort of wants?
00:48:17.000Isn't this what the demographic ultimately wants?
00:48:19.000I mean, aren't these issues On the whole, more important than some of the cultural arguments that we're having, we have a media establishment that wants you locked in an unwinnable quarrel about gun ownership and abortions when those subjects will be secondary to Armageddon, which is where both parties are steering us.
00:48:36.000But you're not supposed to pick civilian targets.
00:48:40.000It will be easy to dismiss this encounter as a chat between a right-wing conspiracy theorist in the form of Kid Rock and Eccentric, except that points in this dialogue are an exchange of exactly what you hear from the most hawkish elements in Congress.
00:49:36.000Sensitive, diplomatic and considered at a point where those in positions of power making decisions with your tax dollars and the lives of real people around the world don't have an iota of the sensitivity that we've just seen displayed for a massive audience that the mainstream Extreme media are happy to dismiss as a basket of deplorables, as MAGA extremists, as meatheads, as Joe Rogan.
00:50:01.000What ought happen in any sensible culture is that you should see that as a forum where ideas are exchanged in an interesting and meaningful way.
00:50:09.000And astonishing though it is to say it, we would be better off if Congress took a leaf out of Joe Rogan's book than the reverse.
00:50:16.000They're the ones pretending they're the adults.
00:52:00.000And it's the public's fault, a leading oil company CEO told journalists.
00:52:03.000This is in a sense where organisations like WEF lead us to create change that doesn't impede the progress of powerful global corporations but facilitates the ongoing blame and further control and regulation of what you might call ordinary people.
00:52:22.000When I say ordinary I mean just everyone who's not In charge of a massive corporation.
00:52:26.000ExxonMobil core CEO Darren Woods told editors from Fortune that the world is way too long to begin investing in a broader suite of technologies to slow planetary heating.
00:52:36.000In his comments on Tuesday, Wood argued, the dirty secret is that customers weren't willing to pay for the added cost.
00:53:05.000And until we're able to come together and rise up against these kind of interests, they'll continue to Be very happy when you, in the chat, worry about what type of hat people wear when they're praying instead of cracking on with this global revolution we're advocating for.
00:53:55.000Let's have a look at Matt Gaetz, Republican congressman.
00:53:59.000Talking about Burisma board member Hunter Biden, whose only tangential connection to that industry appears to be his ability at operating a pipe.
00:54:10.000I say this as a recovering crackhead myself.
00:55:50.000There's some theories being conveyed in the rumble chat that I'm not going to be repeating.
00:55:55.000Even on the old glitchy stream of freedom.
00:55:58.000To believe that Hunter Biden was engaged in international business, this was a bribe masquerading as an international business transaction.
00:57:23.000Turns out he was actually speaking to his communications director.
00:57:26.000Talking to someone else who's got that name.
00:57:29.000They're so eager to jump on this and amplify the threat of these conditions and convey the idea that Trump will make himself a dictator for life.
00:57:37.000And do you remember the one where he said, I'd be dictator for a day, which was sort of clearly a bloody joke.
00:58:32.000Did you see the thing where Robert De Niro aggressively attacked Donald Trump?
00:58:37.000Now, as you know, we believe that the only proper route for all of us is a decentralized, unified approach, absolute opposition to these systems, and a radical re-evaluation of all of our institutions.
00:58:49.000So, we've got a different perspective, I'm sure, a lot of us.
00:58:53.000But this guy does know how to handle this.
00:58:56.000He goes through, point by point, each instance offering a little cuss.
00:59:01.000And he talked about Donald Trump and his wife.
00:59:06.000He was referring to the fact that at CPAC, where I had a sold-out speech, the biggest audience they've had in years, I think maybe ever, I made the statement that Melania was very popular, because when I mentioned her name, the audience went wild.
00:59:21.000I then looked at the two people, man and wife, Matt and Mercedes Schlapp, and I said, wow, they really like the First Lady.
00:59:28.000So this got taken as the fact that I thought Mercedes was the First Lady.
00:59:35.000Like, at one half of this show, We're talking about Vladimir Putin saying if this war continues that we are going to engage in a nuclear conflict with NATO countries and therefore the world is going to lead to Armageddon.
00:59:52.000Then you have this lawfare going on in the United States, this sort of ongoing persecution of Donald Trump and actually these sort of extraordinary spats and quarrels where there are Comments taken out of context and used to create critiques that, in a way, aren't benefiting any of us, are they?
01:01:26.000Now listen my friends, thank you very much for joining us today.
01:01:29.000Remember our Rand Paul interview is tomorrow and I think that this will give you A great deal of optimism about anti-establishment independent politics and the possibility for new alliances to form.
01:01:40.000Similarly, our analysis of the spat between Tucker Carlson and Jon Stewart shows that wherever you are on this rather narrow political spectrum, there are emergent anti-establishment voices that might help us to demark new territories from which we can oppose these systems together.
01:02:16.000Be sure and join us tomorrow for a fantastic and amusing show.
01:02:20.000We talk about Australia's new reckoning.
01:02:23.000Australia, the pendulum has swung in the other direction when it comes to Australia and COVID.
01:02:28.000You've got political figures admitting They made mistakes, that they overreacted.
01:02:33.000It's fantastic, as well as our conversation with Rand Paul, which I think you'll enjoy, and some analysis of Jon Stewart and Tucker Carlson.
