Stay Free - Russel Brand - Dave Rubin (Leaks, Secrets, and Surveillance)

In this week's episode of RUMBLE, we look at the French protests, Elon Musk's interview with Tucker and how the media are funded by the government, and why we don't trust any acronyms. We're also joined by a special guest, the inventor of locals, Dave Rubin, who tells us all about his journey into the world of independent media, including his time working with the government in Senegal, and how he got on with Greg Gutfield. We also discuss the WHO's plans for a global pandemic treaty, and whether or not the World Health Organization are to be trusted by the British people. And we take a look at how much money the British government spends on propaganda, including how much they spend on their own propaganda machine, and what we should do about it. We'll be back next week with a special bonus episode featuring an exclusive interview with the man in charge of it all, the Prime Minister, Theresa May. We hope you enjoy this one, and we'd be grateful if you left us a five star review in the comments below! - Timestamps: 3:00 - Who are the worst state funded media outlets in the world? 5:30 - Who do you think is the worst? 6:15 - Who's better? 7:00- Elon Musk? 8:20 - What's better than the BBC? 9:40 - Is the BBC better than CNN? 11:30- The BBC? 12:20- The WHO? 13:00 14: What do you want from the government? 15: Is the government better? 16: Who are they better? 17: Is it better? 18: What are you better? 19: How much money is the government spending on Propaganda? 19:40- Is the WHO better? 22:00+ - Is there a better country? 21:00 + 22:30+ - What do we know about the future of our government? 26:30 + 27:30 27:50 - What are we can we trust? 28:20 29: What would you like to see? 35:50 32:00 Can we trust the WHO? 35:40 36:00 | Is there any evidence that the WHO not to trust the BBC or the EU? 31:30 | Is the EU better? 36:10 37:40 | Are they better than our government better than us?

00:00:00.000 Hello there, you awakening wonders.

00:00:02.000 If you want to free yourself from this prison planet that sees you merely as fodder, one of the tools you're going to need is an independent media.

00:00:10.000 That's what me is.

00:00:12.000 Independent media.

00:00:14.000 Me and him over there.

00:00:15.000 We're doing our best to bring you stories that are at least attempting to be transparent.

00:00:21.000 We care about what you think.

00:00:23.000 That's why we need you to let us know in the comments and chat what stories you want to see covered and how you think we're covering today's stories.

00:00:29.000 Like, we're going to be talking about... We're also not funded by the government, are we, Russ?

00:00:33.000 They give us nothing.

00:00:34.000 Every week, I go back to the government, any of them, Hong Kong one, Burma, I've spoken to people in Senegal, and I've said, would you be interested in investing in some independent media?

00:00:47.000 They go, what is your main aim?

00:00:49.000 We say, well, we just want to bring the government down, really.

00:00:51.000 And they go, well, we're not going to contribute to that.

00:00:53.000 Actually, we are the government of Senegal, in this case.

00:00:56.000 That was the most recent one.

00:00:57.000 We've got some great guests and stories coming up just for you.

00:01:01.000 If we knew you weren't interested, we'd stop doing it.

00:01:04.000 Dave Rubin's coming on, the inventor of locals.

00:01:07.000 We're going to be looking at those French protests.

00:01:09.000 What we love about it is the way they targeted Black Rock. 1.00

00:01:12.000 They started protesting outside an investment firm.

00:01:14.000 So even though they're protesting, of course, about their age of pension being raised in France, robbing them of a couple of years of lazing about, sipping wine and being all French, They actually took it to the steps and doors of Black Rock, understanding, at least tangentially, that the problem is democracy itself doesn't work. 0.87

00:01:33.000 Even in one of the great principalities of democracy, France, where, like, liberté is right up there among their principles.

00:01:41.000 Not anymore.

00:01:42.000 Now you've got to start a fire and put on a yellow vest if you want anything like justice.

00:01:42.000 Not now.

00:01:46.000 We're going to be clicking over to being exclusively on Rumble.

00:01:49.000 There's a link in the description.

00:01:50.000 Have a look at it, right?

00:01:51.000 And then we'll be going.

00:01:51.000 We're going to give you the inside intel on the WHO's plans for a worldwide pandemic treaty.

00:01:59.000 They're trying to usher it through.

00:02:00.000 They're going to nick 5% of all your tax dollars.

00:02:02.000 They want all sorts of I mean, it's a proper little scam.

00:02:07.000 If I didn't know better, I'd say that the WHO were not to be trusted.

00:02:10.000 And along with them, the WF, the IMF, any of those... Like, if I had to trust any of them, it'd be the boxing ones. 0.92

00:02:16.000 It's acronyms for you, isn't it?

00:02:17.000 Don't trust any acronyms.

00:02:19.000 Look at us.

00:02:20.000 Stay free.

00:02:20.000 We don't call ourselves SFM.

00:02:22.000 And the day we do... Then you'll know we've accepted that Senegalese sweet dollar and that Icelandic buck.

00:02:30.000 Send us your comments because we're interested in what you've got to say.

00:02:34.000 Now, we're going to spend a bit of time delving right into Elon Musk's interview with Tucker and how he's trolling state-funded media.

00:02:44.000 Also looking into privately funded media because we personally don't think that that's any better.

00:02:48.000 Like, do you think CNN are worse or better than the BBC?

00:02:52.000 Let us know, actually, in the comments below who you think the worst ones are.

00:02:55.000 MSNBC, Fox.

00:02:57.000 I know a lot of you like Fox because of Tucker and stuff.

00:02:58.000 You like Tucker, don't they?

00:03:00.000 And what about when I was on Greg Gutfield?

00:03:02.000 Right.

00:03:02.000 That was good.

00:03:02.000 That went very well.

00:03:03.000 I had a nice time on there.

00:03:04.000 In fact, Kat Timpf, I think is her name, she was on there that day that I was on there.

00:03:08.000 She's coming on here later this week.

00:03:10.000 You got on very well with all of them.

00:03:11.000 You were very at home, I would suggest.

00:03:13.000 I liked the wrestler guy that looked like Thanos.

00:03:15.000 Yes.

00:03:15.000 He was good.

00:03:15.000 Very nice man.

00:03:16.000 And I liked the attractive... There was an attractive woman there, an attractive woman there, and Greg Gutfield there.

00:03:21.000 Not that he's not an attractive... No.

00:03:23.000 ...man, but...

00:03:24.000 Nice man.

00:03:25.000 Love him.

00:03:26.000 Nice green jumper.

00:03:27.000 What do you want from life?

00:03:28.000 So we're going to look at like how Elon's digging out all these mainstream media outlets saying, you know, to what degree they're funded.

00:03:34.000 And we're going to be looking at how much Pfizer, for example, and Big Pharma more broadly, spend on advertising and a surprising bit of information about how much money the British government spends on propaganda themselves.

00:03:47.000 They spend our tax pounds in our case on

00:03:50.000 Propagandizing us to like a more one It just govern things better for God's sake and you can

00:03:55.000 tell they're not taking stuff seriously now because a lot of

00:03:58.000 Politicians public appearances I think have started to seem uncanny

00:04:02.000 Unusual and weird like look at this right we're gonna show you Rishi Sunak in a minute

00:04:09.000 But first like we're gonna show you Chuck Schumer acting a bit like he's on I think Sesame Street

00:04:14.000 I'd say have a look at this Good morning everybody and welcome back

00:04:20.000 Who's happy to be here?

00:04:21.000 Raise your hands.

00:04:26.000 OK.

00:04:28.000 This is I know it's been sort of like pseudo ironic and playful, but this pseudo irony is what I think contributing to the decay of trust and a sort of sense that we're on a prison planet and nothing is quite real or authentic.

00:04:45.000 You know, if you watch the kind of news that us lot are into, you'll know that there's just been a bunch of revelations that they're lying to us about the war between Ukraine and Russia, sustaining it unduly, even though they don't believe it's winnable, presumably in order to continue funding the military-industrial complex.

00:05:02.000 You'll be aware that they're never going to address inequality.

00:05:05.000 You'll know that during the pandemic, there was a massive wealth transfer that affected ordinary people, destroyed small businesses, messed with the education of ordinary kids, while generally speaking, politicians carried on having high profile bashes, only wearing masks on camera.

00:05:19.000 That's allegedly that last one, but there are a bunch of examples of that kind of stuff.

00:05:24.000 Like I'm talking about old What's the one called in California?

00:05:26.000 Gavin Newsom.

00:05:27.000 That's correct.

00:05:28.000 He was doing that kind of gear and our lot like Rishi Sunak.

00:05:31.000 He's like our 19th president in a prime minister.

00:05:34.000 I don't know what we call him anymore in like just the last couple of months.

00:05:37.000 But he was in he was the chancellor when Boris Johnson was having having a party every half hour.

00:05:43.000 Like he only left one party to go to another party during the pandemic.

00:05:46.000 All the while they were saying you better stay in your house.

00:05:48.000 Never mind watching your nan die.

00:05:50.000 You can watch it on the Internet.

00:05:51.000 They were all having a proper old knees up, gathering round a Bontempi organ, living it up down in Pringles.

00:05:58.000 Sunak was fined for it.

00:05:59.000 Sunak was?

00:06:00.000 Yeah, he got a fine for that. 1.00

00:06:02.000 He's a criminal! 0.99

00:06:03.000 He's a simple criminal. 1.00

00:06:05.000 I'm doing allegedly just in case.

00:06:06.000 Allegedly!

00:06:07.000 But if you've been fined... I was thinking about the situation with Schumer there and the way he was talking to the, I guess it was the press, whoever it was, gathered, like obedient children.

00:06:17.000 And when we know the kind of questions that the press came back and asked the press secretary around the Pentagon leak recently, they were all in that manner.

00:06:25.000 It was like Children, the best children at class get to ask that.

00:06:29.000 You know when someone would come to your school and give a talk and your best kids... Sit them up the front.

00:06:34.000 Sit them up the front and ask the questions.

00:06:35.000 You don't want the glue sniffers sat near the front coming out with weird questions. 0.99

00:06:40.000 I wasn't a glue sniffer but I was an unusual boy and I might have said something strange.

00:06:44.000 You would have done.

00:06:45.000 To like a visit in dignitary.

00:06:47.000 We've got the Countess of Wessex coming in. 1.00

00:06:50.000 Excuse me, where did you get those tights? 0.51

00:06:53.000 Can I wear your tights?

00:06:55.000 Move along now, Russell.

00:06:56.000 Sit at the back.

00:06:57.000 You're ruining this school and it's not a very good school anyway.

00:06:59.000 Stay free with Russell Brand.

00:07:01.000 See it first on Rumble.

00:07:03.000 Rubin, Rubin, Rubin.

00:07:05.000 Rubin, Rubin, Rubin.

00:07:06.000 Rubin, Rubin, Rubin Report.

00:07:11.000 Joining me is Dave Rubin.

00:07:13.000 Sexy and grooving.

00:07:15.000 Bringing us the news with his cohorts.

00:07:18.000 Rubin, Rubin, Rubin.

00:07:20.000 Alright Dave Rubin, thanks for joining us from the Rubin Report.

00:07:23.000 And thank you for using your brain and impressive hair to invent locals.

00:07:29.000 Wow, coming from a guy with your head of hair, I take that as the highest compliment.

00:07:34.000 The Pentagon leaks are being utilized to bring about the Restrict Act.

00:07:39.000 Will these leaks, cheer-led by the mainstream media, no one questioning the content of the leaks themselves, only seeking to condemn the leaker, who I believe is called Buddy Boy Texera, that it will lead ultimately to more surveillance and more Early 20s style Dave Rubin repression.

00:08:01.000 Are you worried that the Pentagon leaks will lead to more surveillance, more restrictions, more censorship, less freedom?

00:08:09.000 Yes, my friend, you are completely right.

00:08:11.000 It is obvious.

00:08:12.000 Everyone should see it.

00:08:14.000 This is the Patriot Act for the digital world, and it is actually almost irrelevant what was released on those Discord channels, because they are using this, as you said, for the pretext to make sure that whatever little bit of our digital identity on this little black mirror that we're all holding, whatever remains ours and is not theirs yet, They're going to make sure that they get every piece of it, whether that is every message that you and I send privately to each other, whether that's every video that you share, whether it is whatever, your family pictures, et cetera.

00:08:49.000 Look, we may already have crossed the Rubicon where they already have access to everything, and now this is just window dressing around it.

00:08:55.000 They're just trying to dot the I's and cross the T's on this stuff.

00:09:00.000 But yes, they're coming for every bit of digital existence.

00:09:03.000 I don't know if you saw it, but Tucker interviewed Elon last night on Fox, and he was talking about, because he's really trying to fight some of this stuff, he was talking about how one of the things that he's doing with Twitter, he said it'll take about a month to roll out, he wants to do end-to-end encryption on the DMs, because the DMs, which obviously are the private messages that you can share with people who you follow and they follow you, The government and Twitter employees have been allowed to read them.

00:09:28.000 It was very obvious to me for 10 years.

00:09:30.000 I never wrote anything in a DM that I wouldn't have wanted to be seen.

00:09:33.000 But, you know, a whole bunch of people thought, oh, it's a direct message.

00:09:36.000 It's private.

00:09:36.000 And it's like, no, no, no, no, no.

00:09:38.000 They're coming for everything.

00:09:40.000 And the only thing that can stop this is decentralization.

00:09:42.000 It's encrypted messaging, you know, one-on-one messaging with no middleman and Bitcoin and that sort of thing.

00:09:48.000 One of the things that was fascinating, Gareth here pointed it out as a matter of fact, is that they implied that one of the things that led to the arrest of young Buddy Boy Texera was that he'd shot those papers from above, revealing a little bit of his kitchen countertop and the tiles on the floor.

00:10:04.000 And those geniuses at the New York Times who were inexplicably involved in investigating and catching him rather than reporting objectively on the story, along with their pals in the Feds, were able to piece together the tiles and the countertop to locate where he lived.

00:10:22.000 Isn't it more likely that they are in fact already able to use the Spying techniques such as you just outlined, you know, following your every transaction, your every message.

00:10:33.000 Do you think that in reality, even the arrest of that lad was utilizing sort of spying technology?

00:10:41.000 And do you think that as Snowden, even Snowden's revelations suggest that they have a greater ability to surveil us than they're willing to admit to and more than is legal?

00:10:50.000 Yeah, dude.

00:10:50.000 I mean, everybody watching this show is walking around with this in their pocket.

00:10:53.000 You're walking around with something that has GPS attached to it.

00:10:56.000 You're walking around with something that you're sending messages from.

00:10:59.000 They're not just going to somebody else's phone magically, right?

00:11:03.000 They're going through a network of systems, so someone is tracking all of this one way or another.

00:11:08.000 There's probably no way around that.

00:11:10.000 I get you can decentralize everything, as we talked about a second ago.

00:11:12.000 There's no way to fully fix this thing.

00:11:15.000 And there's no way to fix the fact, the simple fact is that when people have technology,

00:11:20.000 technology's like fire.

00:11:22.000 Fire is good to heat your home so that you can cook, but it can also burn you and burn your house down.

00:11:29.000 We all have to figure out what our relationship with this thing is.

00:11:32.000 I tend to think you have a pretty decent relationship with it, that you're not consumed by what's on your phone.

00:11:39.000 You know, I try not to tweet on the weekends.

00:11:41.000 I do my off-the-grid August with no information whatsoever.

00:11:44.000 I've done it six years in a row.

00:11:46.000 No phone, no TV, no electronic devices of any kind.

00:11:50.000 But we all are gonna have to reevaluate what our relationship is with this thing, because they handed us this phone. 0.56

00:11:56.000 It had the freaking world on it.

00:11:58.000 It was all for free.

00:11:59.000 What we didn't realize was we were the product, right?

00:12:01.000 Our clicks, our behaviors. 1.00

00:12:03.000 Why did we have 10 years of everyone on BuzzFeed with those stupid polls? 1.00

00:12:07.000 Do you like this more than this? 0.99

00:12:08.000 And what's your favorite hamburger? 1.00

00:12:09.000 And what's sexier, an ass or boobs? 0.99

00:12:12.000 And we're all clicking all of these things and then they're aggregating all of it. 0.99

00:12:14.000 What was BuzzFeed?

00:12:15.000 It wasn't a profitable company. 0.96

00:12:17.000 It was just to just suck our freaking minds and then mine that data so it could basically be used against us either in advertising or for whatever the hell the government's trying to do. 0.98

00:12:27.000 Dave Rubin. 0.97

00:12:28.000 8th of September, 2001.

00:12:30.000 Boobs. 1.00

00:12:30.000 Dave Rubin. 1.00

00:12:33.000 We've moved over the bums, baby! 0.99

00:12:36.000 It's a big move from Rubin on that day.

00:12:38.000 Do you think that Elon Musk is, through his investigations and attacks on government-funded media, making the mainstream more transparent?

00:12:48.000 Or does he risk highlighting Government funded media rather than privately funded media which has, in my view, equally toxic, if not more, biases.

00:12:59.000 I think he's doing everything that anyone within this system can do.

00:13:04.000 You know, when I had you in the studio a couple weeks ago in Miami and we were talking a bit about DeSantis and why I was saying I like him, and then you were taking a slightly different approach.

00:13:11.000 What I said is a system exists and there's some people that do the best they can within that system to alter it in a positive direction.

00:13:20.000 I think that's what DeSantis is doing.

00:13:22.000 I think it's what Elon's doing.

00:13:24.000 Look, I've met Elon twice now and spent a little bit of time with him and have a sense of what he's doing, but I don't know him like he's my brother.

00:13:31.000 My sense with him is that he really is trying.

00:13:34.000 He does not like the government overreach.

00:13:37.000 To buy Twitter, think about buying Twitter.

00:13:38.000 He bought it for $44 billion.

00:13:40.000 It's a failing company.

00:13:42.000 It loses millions and millions of dollars every month.

00:13:45.000 He fired or had people leave 80% of the company.

00:13:49.000 So he bought a faulty product, right?

00:13:51.000 Twitter does not work as it's supposed to because of all the bad coding.

00:13:55.000 He buys a faulty product, then fires 80% of the people that work there.

00:13:59.000 Who does that?

00:14:00.000 No one buys a company and does that.

00:14:02.000 He did it not, I think he does want to make it profitable, but he did it because he wants

00:14:06.000 to be in this fight.

00:14:07.000 I genuinely believe that.

00:14:09.000 Now, can he solve all of the problems?

00:14:11.000 Probably not, but doesn't it feel a little bit safer these days online in that there is somebody who happens to be the world's richest guy who's roughly on our side?

00:14:23.000 And by the way, Russell, kind of like you, this is a guy, he's been a lefty his entire life.

00:14:28.000 It's only until the last year after seeing the COVID stuff that he finally, for the first time ever, voted Republican.

00:14:35.000 He moved to Texas.

00:14:36.000 He voted for this woman, Mayra Flores, who is a congresswoman and a border town because he saw what was happening with all the migrants coming from Mexico. 0.76

00:14:46.000 And then, of course, he moved to Texas because he left crappy California with high taxes and crime and all that to move to Texas, where there's freedom and lower taxes and everything else.

00:14:54.000 So I think he's going through his own political awakening, leaning more towards Freedom.

00:14:59.000 But I would say if we all exist within a system, he's one of the good guys within that system.

00:15:05.000 Dave, will you stay with us for a couple more questions exclusively on locals to drive people to a platform that you frankly invented?

00:15:13.000 All right.

00:15:15.000 I'm going to be asking Dave about moving to Florida and why Dave believes that the Sunshine State is the only place to be, making claims that homelessness has been eliminated.

00:15:26.000 I also want to know if it's true that Ron DeSantis is turning Disneyland into an open prison And sewer.

00:15:34.000 So if you're watching us on Rumble now, you can click on the link, become a member of our locals community.

00:15:39.000 All of it lines Dave Rubin's pockets.

00:15:42.000 And you can join us there for a little bit of a chat.
