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?
00:00:02.000If 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.
00:00:23.000That'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.
00:00:29.000Like, we're going to be talking about... We're also not funded by the government, are we, Russ?
00:00:34.000Every 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?
00:00:57.000We've got some great guests and stories coming up just for you.
00:01:01.000If we knew you weren't interested, we'd stop doing it.
00:01:04.000Dave Rubin's coming on, the inventor of locals.
00:01:07.000We're going to be looking at those French protests.
00:01:09.000What we love about it is the way they targeted Black Rock.
00:01:12.000They started protesting outside an investment firm.
00:01:14.000So 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.
00:01:33.000Even in one of the great principalities of democracy, France, where, like, liberté is right up there among their principles.
00:03:28.000So 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.
00:03:34.000And 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.
00:03:47.000They spend our tax pounds in our case on
00:03:50.000Propagandizing us to like a more one It just govern things better for God's sake and you can
00:03:55.000tell they're not taking stuff seriously now because a lot of
00:03:58.000Politicians public appearances I think have started to seem uncanny
00:04:02.000Unusual and weird like look at this right we're gonna show you Rishi Sunak in a minute
00:04:09.000But first like we're gonna show you Chuck Schumer acting a bit like he's on I think Sesame Street
00:04:14.000I'd say have a look at this Good morning everybody and welcome back
00:04:28.000This 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.
00:04:45.000You 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.
00:05:02.000You'll be aware that they're never going to address inequality.
00:05:05.000You'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.
00:05:19.000That's allegedly that last one, but there are a bunch of examples of that kind of stuff.
00:05:24.000Like I'm talking about old What's the one called in California?
00:06:07.000But 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.
00:06:17.000And 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.
00:06:25.000It was like Children, the best children at class get to ask that.
00:06:29.000You know when someone would come to your school and give a talk and your best kids... Sit them up the front.
00:06:34.000Sit them up the front and ask the questions.
00:06:35.000You don't want the glue sniffers sat near the front coming out with weird questions.
00:06:40.000I wasn't a glue sniffer but I was an unusual boy and I might have said something strange.
00:07:20.000Alright Dave Rubin, thanks for joining us from the Rubin Report.
00:07:23.000And thank you for using your brain and impressive hair to invent locals.
00:07:29.000Wow, coming from a guy with your head of hair, I take that as the highest compliment.
00:07:34.000The Pentagon leaks are being utilized to bring about the Restrict Act.
00:07:39.000Will 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.
00:08:01.000Are you worried that the Pentagon leaks will lead to more surveillance, more restrictions, more censorship, less freedom?
00:08:09.000Yes, my friend, you are completely right.
00:08:14.000This 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.
00:08:49.000Look, we may already have crossed the Rubicon where they already have access to everything, and now this is just window dressing around it.
00:08:55.000They're just trying to dot the I's and cross the T's on this stuff.
00:09:00.000But yes, they're coming for every bit of digital existence.
00:09:03.000I 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.
00:09:28.000It was very obvious to me for 10 years.
00:09:30.000I never wrote anything in a DM that I wouldn't have wanted to be seen.
00:09:33.000But, you know, a whole bunch of people thought, oh, it's a direct message.
00:09:40.000And the only thing that can stop this is decentralization.
00:09:42.000It's encrypted messaging, you know, one-on-one messaging with no middleman and Bitcoin and that sort of thing.
00:09:48.000One 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.
00:10:04.000And 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.
00:10:22.000Isn'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.
00:10:33.000Do you think that in reality, even the arrest of that lad was utilizing sort of spying technology?
00:10:41.000And 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?
00:12:17.000It 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.
00:12:36.000It's a big move from Rubin on that day.
00:12:38.000Do you think that Elon Musk is, through his investigations and attacks on government-funded media, making the mainstream more transparent?
00:12:48.000Or does he risk highlighting Government funded media rather than privately funded media which has, in my view, equally toxic, if not more, biases.
00:12:59.000I think he's doing everything that anyone within this system can do.
00:13:04.000You 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.
00:13:11.000What 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.
00:13:20.000I think that's what DeSantis is doing.
00:13:24.000Look, 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.
00:13:31.000My sense with him is that he really is trying.
00:13:34.000He does not like the government overreach.
00:13:37.000To buy Twitter, think about buying Twitter.
00:14:09.000Now, can he solve all of the problems?
00:14:11.000Probably 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?
00:14:23.000And by the way, Russell, kind of like you, this is a guy, he's been a lefty his entire life.
00:14:28.000It's only until the last year after seeing the COVID stuff that he finally, for the first time ever, voted Republican.
00:14:36.000He 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.
00:14:46.000And 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.
00:14:54.000So I think he's going through his own political awakening, leaning more towards Freedom.
00:14:59.000But I would say if we all exist within a system, he's one of the good guys within that system.
00:15:05.000Dave, will you stay with us for a couple more questions exclusively on locals to drive people to a platform that you frankly invented?
00:15:15.000I'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.
00:15:26.000I also want to know if it's true that Ron DeSantis is turning Disneyland into an open prison And sewer.
00:15:34.000So if you're watching us on Rumble now, you can click on the link, become a member of our locals community.
00:15:53.000Tomorrow, we've got comedian and political commentator Kat Timpf, who I met when I was on Fox News being like an exchange trip student from another world.
00:16:03.000See you on Locals in a second with more from Dave Rubin talking more about his private personal business and reasons to move to Florida.
00:16:12.000Join us tomorrow on Rumble, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
