00:11:29.000 I could never be a veteran on this Brought to you by Pfizer.

00:11:33.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:11:42.000 We'll see you next time.

00:11:44.000 We'll see you next time.

00:11:46.000 We are getting to breaking it.

00:11:47.000 We've got a lot out there.

00:11:48.000 . . you Hello there, you awakening wonders.

00:11:54.000 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:11:56.000 Over the course of the show, we'll be with you for like 15 minutes on YouTube.

00:12:00.000 And during that 15 minutes, we'll have a quick look at what's going on on X so that we're right up to the second.

00:12:06.000 So we'll be looking at a refreshed X page where we can see the latest posts on X and how people are reacting to it.

00:12:14.000 And we're going to be looking at some of the highlights and breakdowns over the last 48 hours and how we can calibrate the pre-election rhetoric with the post-election reality.

00:12:27.000 What I mean by that in particular, and it's something you will have seen come up a lot on social media, is if people really felt that they were voting correctly, Well, not that they were voting for Hitler.

00:12:41.000 Trump supporters were voting for Hitler.

00:12:43.000 Then, you know, he's won now.

00:12:45.000 So Hitler's in power. 0.92

00:12:46.000 So, I mean, if I really believed that Hitler was in power, I feel like I'd be... 0.87

00:12:54.000 I'll be looking at some real estate opportunities outside of the Reich.

00:12:59.000 So is that happening?

00:13:00.000 Is that happening en masse from the former employees of MSNBC? We'll look, of course, at Kamala's concession speech, and we'll...

00:13:11.000 Oh, what's the thing that I was really interested in looking at?

00:13:13.000 What is it that sort of generated this state of hysteria?

00:13:17.000 Like, loads of you will have seen the memes of people's response to Trump's election, presumed Kamala voters.

00:13:25.000 When you watch them, I kind of wonder What are they feeling?

00:13:30.000 If you're in the Awake and Wonder community, like Aligisha and Sensitive Hearts and Mrs. 1.00

00:13:35.000 CMS, thanks for being with us and joining us today.

00:13:37.000 If you're in the Rumble chat like Hell of a Bad Apple and The Real Mix, welcome!

00:13:42.000 Get involved in this conversation and consider asking, answering this question.

00:13:47.000 When people are sort of really breaking down around this, do you think that the legacy media are responsible?

00:13:52.000 Do you think that the legacy media are responsible for generating the idea that Trump was...

00:13:58.000 A de facto, default, despotic figure.

00:14:02.000 Let me know in the chat, all of you.

00:14:04.000 And if you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be there for another 10 minutes.

00:14:08.000 But now let's focus on this mystical component, the resurrection of Peanut, who was cited at the Kamala concession speech.

00:14:17.000 It knew, you know, I think they're calling him Peanut the White, that he's emerged in a more ethereal mode.

00:14:22.000 And those of you that are interested, In spirituality, I will be streaming Break Bread live at 1.15 EST today.

00:14:31.000 So you'll be able to join us for that as well.

00:14:35.000 So stay with us if you are indeed an awakened wonder.

00:14:39.000 Can you shut that door for me?

00:14:41.000 Thank you very much.

00:14:42.000 Let's have a look at the resurrection of Peanut.

00:14:46.000 Ooh, something, bro!

00:14:50.000 Someone getting zero...

00:14:52.000 Bro, it's Peanut! 0.99

00:14:55.000 Oh shit! 1.00

00:14:59.000 No way he's doing a victory lap on her! 1.00

00:15:02.000 Oh no!

00:15:06.000 That's pretty incredible, actually, isn't it?

00:15:08.000 That's like if you believe in synergy, synchronicity, signs and symbols.

00:15:12.000 That's, I mean, I don't know if you know squirrels, but it's extraordinary that that squirrel captured so much attention and somehow seized the mood.

00:15:22.000 And then at a vital and opportune moment, a squirrel arrived.

00:15:27.000 Amazing.

00:15:28.000 Welcome if you've joined us from Bongino's army.

00:15:30.000 Say hello in the chat.

00:15:32.000 Welcome all of you on Rumble.

00:15:34.000 If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll have to leave after our 15 minutes because we extreme on Rumble for this simple reason.

00:15:39.000 It's one of the platforms that while we were still in the censorship industrial complex gloriana of the Kamala Biden administration...

00:15:50.000 We had to be there and we had to delicately maneuver within those spaces.

00:15:56.000 Now free speech is at the top of the agenda.

00:15:59.000 People that are supportive of free speech are moving into government.

00:16:03.000 Your free speech, that's why you can get in that rumble chat and you can express yourself wildly and freely in any manner you want.

00:16:10.000 Get over there just for the laughs. 0.98

00:16:11.000 We can handle it.

00:16:12.000 Everyone can handle free speech over here or become an awakened wonder.

00:16:15.000 Get deeper into this thing with me and join us for break bread.

00:16:18.000 That'll be in, I think it's just over an hour.

00:16:22.000 Now, one of the things that we've noted is the misquoting and decontextualization of stuff that Trump said.

00:16:29.000 You know, like when Trump talked about tariffs and said there'll be a bloodbath if China attempted to set up factories for cars in Mexico to transport them across the border.

00:16:38.000 That bloodbath word was used in a very condemnatory way, as if what Trump was saying is that post the election that we will be sloshing around in the blood of his enemies.

00:16:48.000 So, what does it mean when Kamala says fight?

00:16:51.000 When is the word fight not a call to January 6th-style insurrection?

00:16:57.000 When is a billionaire a bad billionaire, and when is a billionaire a good billionaire?

00:17:02.000 What are the values and the principles that have just been rejected, along with the endorsement of, let's face it, quite a serious pantheon of celebrities?

00:17:11.000 Let me know in the Rumble chat, who were your favourite celebrities who were ignored During the campaigns of the Democrats, like, didn't Taylor Swift, Beyonce, these all endorse Kamala?

00:17:22.000 Does that tell you that something epochally and significantly is shifting?

00:17:29.000 Does this mean it's the end of the era of the celebrity endorsement?

00:17:33.000 We're going to have a look Kamala Harris saying fight a bunch of times. 0.99

00:17:38.000 Kamala Harris, who, by the way, only won states that do not require voter ID. Surely just a coincidence.

00:17:47.000 Losing somehow 20 million of the votes that Joe Biden had in the last election.

00:17:52.000 It was 81 million, so like 15 million less votes.

00:17:54.000 Don't know where those votes all went or how they were not concocted or conjured up.

00:17:58.000 And after we've come back, we'll have a look at what's going on on Let's have a look at Kamala's speech.

00:18:03.000 We saw the warm-up act of Peanut the Squirrel risen again.

00:18:07.000 Let's have a look at the number of times she says, fight, fight, fight. 1.00

00:18:11.000 Oh.

00:18:12.000 So let me say, my heart is full today.

00:18:16.000 My heart is full today.

00:18:18.000 Full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me.

00:18:24.000 Full of love for our country.

00:18:28.000 And full of resolve.

00:18:31.000 The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say, hear me when I say, the light of America's promise will always burn bright.

00:18:57.000 As long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.

00:19:05.000 Now I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now.

00:19:12.000 I get it.

00:19:15.000 But we must accept the results of this election.

00:19:19.000 Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory.

00:19:25.000 I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition, and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.

00:19:39.000 A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results.

00:19:51.000 That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny.

00:19:59.000 Such an extraordinary claim because a true oligarchy is where Do you feel like...

00:20:24.000 Thank you.

00:20:37.000 Thank you.

00:20:46.000 Pretending that what we had was a democracy and what the capital is, is sacred.

00:20:51.000 It could become sacred.

00:20:52.000 It could be sacred.

00:20:54.000 The institutions of government could be re-sacralized in a number of ways.

00:20:58.000 One, through true virtue.

00:21:00.000 And that virtue can only be derived from a concordance With principles that we all agree are sacred.

00:21:08.000 So if you don't have God or a belief in God, and if everything becomes about rationalism and measurement, which of course have their place, and Lord alone knows, with Elon Musk now in charge of three branches of government, there will be the use of data, I assume, when coming up with policy.

00:21:23.000 But if the analysis of data and decisions derived from it Are not framed and guided within a square of clear principles, principalities of obvious virtue, service, freedom, freedom to and freedom from, like died with or died of COVID. There's a distinction there.

00:21:44.000 What we've been living within are totalitarian bureaucracies that legitimize their authoritarianism through measures of care.

00:21:53.000 Because we care for you so much, we're going to have to sack these 34,000 key workers.

00:21:56.000 Because we care for you so much, you have to take these medications.

00:21:59.000 Because we care for you so much, we're not going to ensure that they're clinically trialed correctly for transmission.

00:22:03.000 There are so many things to consider and unpack there.

00:22:07.000 And what's been rejected, along with celebrities I would offer you, is that era.

00:22:12.000 That era of managerialism and bureaucratization of those processes.

00:22:20.000 And anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.

00:22:24.000 At the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party, but to the Constitution of the United States.

00:22:37.000 And loyalty to our...

00:22:45.000 Do you remember when we saw the New York Times headline, is the Constitution problematic?

00:22:52.000 Are you aware how much the Bill of Rights is being discussed and the legitimacy of the Bill of Rights?

00:22:58.000 It's pretty extraordinary how this speech obfuscates the last four years of government.

00:23:07.000 And loyalty to our conscience and to our God.

00:23:11.000 My allegiance to all three is why I am here to say, while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign.

00:23:31.000 That fight to remain enslaved to powerful donor interests and lobbyists.

00:23:37.000 That fight to remain enslaved to bureaucracy.

00:23:40.000 That fight to continue funding wars abroad using American taxpayer dollars.

00:23:47.000 What is this righteousness to which she is referring?

00:23:52.000 The fight.

00:23:54.000 The fight for freedom.

00:23:56.000 For opportunity.

00:23:59.000 A kind of hysteria has been generated.

00:24:02.000 A kind of...

00:24:03.000 And I suppose, as with all polarity, that will require both sides of the discourse to generate the energy for hysteria.

00:24:12.000 And I was thinking, you know, with those people that were saying that Trump's Hitler and stuff, that probably won't leave the country now like you would if you truly believed that Hitler had just taken over...

00:24:22.000 How would you be feeling had Kamala won?

00:24:25.000 And I actually feel like I would be scared because of this.

00:24:28.000 I think I would be scared that a kind of insidious creep of bureaucracy and incessant crises would be used to legitimise more and more authority.

00:24:39.000 I would imagine that within four years they would say, we're banning these types of people from using social media, we're banning these types of hate speech.

00:24:46.000 And even though there might initially be a sort of excitement about it, like people saying, yeah, that's good because hate speech is bad, we all agree that hate speech is bad, hating people's bad, we'd start to realise, oh no, they're just banning speech that's contradictory to their agenda or disruptive to their agenda.

00:25:02.000 So I do understand why some people have responded hysterically to the election and mandate.

00:25:09.000 And are some people calling it a landslide yet?

00:25:12.000 Of Trump.

00:25:13.000 Because I think I would be afraid if what we were now entering into is four more years of increasing globalism, bureaucracy, global war, use of crisis to legitimize authoritarianism.

00:25:29.000 I would be afraid.

00:25:30.000 Let me know in the comments and chat how you feel about that.

00:25:32.000 For fairness and the dignity of all people.

00:25:37.000 A fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation.

00:25:42.000 The ideals that reflect America at our best.

00:25:47.000 That is a fight I will never give up.

00:25:53.000 Challenger787 in the chat says, find Hillary's closing speech.

00:25:57.000 I would love to see that.

00:25:58.000 Do you mean when Hillary's campaign failed?

00:26:00.000 Why?

00:26:00.000 Was it comparable?

00:26:01.000 Was it similar?

00:26:01.000 Was it the same sort of thing?

00:26:02.000 That's a good suggestion.

00:26:04.000 If you've got it, post it in the chat.

00:26:06.000 I'd love to see it.

00:26:07.000 Candace Owens is one of the many people online demanding that Alex Jones be given his proper position as the replacement for Karin Jean-Pierre as press secretary.

00:26:18.000 I want to be very clear about Alex Jones.

00:26:21.000 I will crawl over broken glass and give him everything I earn.

00:26:27.000 If all he needs is someone to pay the salary, leave it to me.

00:26:31.000 Leave it to me.

00:26:32.000 I'll get a second job to pay whatever salary he wants to be the press secretary.

00:26:36.000 If he's like, I'm going to need half a million dollars a year, leave it to me.

00:26:39.000 Like I said, I will pick up a job.

00:26:41.000 I will raise the money.

00:26:42.000 It'll be totally fine if we get Alex Jones.

00:26:45.000 We are not worthy.

00:26:46.000 We are not worthy. 0.92

00:26:47.000 But Trump, please, it would be the greatest troll. 0.84

00:26:50.000 And by the way, he is more than equipped for it. 0.84

00:26:52.000 He has run a show for decades.

00:26:54.000 All he does is talk and answer and respond to questions.

00:26:57.000 He is totally equipped for it, and they hate him.

00:26:58.000 The deep state hates Alex Jones with a vengeance.

00:27:02.000 XSmokes writes, Candace, you should be Trump's press secretary.

00:27:05.000 Look, I would be very good at that job, but...

00:27:09.000 She would do a good job.

00:27:10.000 But Alex Jones, that's who you want in the role?

00:27:13.000 It's Alex Jones you want in that position.

00:27:15.000 Let's have a look at J.D. Vance talking about America's new foreign policy.

00:27:21.000 And I suppose, again, because we've been in a period of hysteria...

00:27:25.000 We can now look at people that are about to form government for at least the next four years, talking about what they plan to do.

00:27:33.000 Let's see J.D. Vance talking about America's foreign policy going forward.

00:27:37.000 And of course the possibility for deception and lying still exists, but let's just actually look at what he's saying and then we can use this, we can archive this, we can see if this is what actually happens.

00:27:47.000 We have built a foreign policy of hectoring and moralizing and lecturing countries that don't want anything to do with it.

00:27:54.000 The Chinese have a foreign policy of building roads and bridges and feeding poor people, and I think that we should pursue a foreign policy, a diplomacy of respect, and a foreign policy that is not rooted in moralizing, it's rooted in the national interest of this country.

00:28:10.000 Because Ambassador Sullivan is at the lead of moralizing instead of pursuing America's national I reckon some people will go through that and try and find euphemism in it.

00:28:23.000 Do you try to think like the people that would condemn JD Vance there?

00:28:28.000 The only thing I can reach for is this.

00:28:31.000 Countries are a vast enterprise, the state in itself an incredible endeavor, a deep and vast and terrifying behemoth.

00:28:39.000 Perhaps it doesn't matter what personnel you put within these institutions unless there are significant changes, but they will always tend towards totalitarianism.

00:28:48.000 They will always tend towards elitism.

00:28:50.000 So it's a very general and vague critique about sort of big government, really, and not reflecting our historic tendency to want to live tribally in groups that are of a manageable size.

00:29:06.000 And I must I recognize this isn't something you can really build policy around.

00:29:10.000 I'm not super naive, but, you know, the way we now know that if you eat too much sugar and fat, it will mess you up because you're not evolved to access lots of sugar and fat.

00:29:18.000 Perhaps there's something to be said when it comes to organizing community.

00:29:22.000 Perhaps we can handle this only at a certain scale.

00:29:25.000 And perhaps technology could be used not to centralize, but to decentralize.

00:29:29.000 That you could use the technology we have now to create Airbnb and Uber and create incredible opportunities for centralization and then bespoke service.

00:29:38.000 That's what both of those things do.

00:29:40.000 Is that a fair assessment?

00:29:41.000 To create localised government, which is dreary and managerial and does come down to when's the garbage going to get collected and how are we going to ensure fairness and logistics and operations and stuff that I frankly don't even like thinking about.

00:29:55.000 That's the only kind of critique I would offer against bloody any government.

00:29:58.000 But when you watch J.D. Vance and think about how he was sort of portrayed as an incredible, desperate weirdo...

00:30:04.000 And then hear him say, really, I think we should stop moralizing and focus on America.

00:30:07.000 That doesn't seem like a ridiculous thing to say.

00:30:09.000 What I would say is when you see Rachel Maddow, who did offer a moral position throughout this election and previous elections, and indeed it's the role of the anchor on MSNBC, or not the anchor, I suppose the pundit on MSNBC, to offer up moral positions, she has a surprising perspective when it comes to the dissolution she has a surprising perspective when it comes to the dissolution of the Five

00:30:29.000 Those of you who don't know what the Five Eyes is, the Five Eyes is a set of anglophonic countries, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, America, Australia, that share intelligence with one another on domestic populations to get round laws that prevent governments spying on their own populations.

00:30:46.000 One of the things that Edward Snowden revealed and why he's still in exile in Russia.

00:30:50.000 In fact, God, here would be some interesting canary-in-the-cage moments for the new Trump administration.

00:30:56.000 Imagine a proper pardon for Julian Assange.

00:30:58.000 Thank the Lord he's free now.

00:31:00.000 Imagine a pardon for Edward Snowden.

00:31:02.000 Then you would recognize, whoa, hold on, things are actually different here.

00:31:06.000 But what we can point out and observe, and indeed my...

00:31:09.000 Personal reasons for thinking that America is better off with a MAGA government than a Democratic Party government.

00:31:16.000 One of those reasons is that the Democratic Party have become the representatives of the deep state and global corporatists, and the Five Eyes are not the goodies.

00:31:24.000 Just as it sounds like Five Guys, which I think is a relatively popular and pretty good burger chain, that don't mean it's something we should aspire to or support.

00:31:32.000 The Five Eyes is one of the pillars...

00:31:36.000 Of globalist surveillance is one of the ways in which you and I are spied on.

00:31:42.000 You know what data scraping is?

00:31:43.000 Everything on your phone, all of your text, all of your information is being stored for a later date in case one day in the future you need to be unpersoned.

00:31:52.000 If you've got nothing to fear, you've got nothing to hide, yeah, well you don't know how the world's going to alter.

00:31:57.000 You might have something to fear in the future and the five I's is one of the means and ways that interlocked What does Rachel Maddow mean?

00:32:23.000 When she laments the loss of the Five Eyes.

00:32:26.000 Same with NATO. All these organizations have been hyped to us as somehow positive, but increasingly we're querying that positivity.

00:32:36.000 And what this election and this result of this election might represent is the end of our acceptance of those endorsements.

00:32:43.000 In the same way that the majority of Americans have rejected the endorsement of massive stars and celebrities, maybe now these star bureaucracies, NATO, Five Eyes, WHO, WEF, maybe they're going to be rejected as well.

00:32:58.000 Let me know in the comments and chat.

00:32:59.000 Let's have a look at Rachel Maddow lamenting the loss of the Five Eyes. 1.00

00:33:03.000 If we follow this train of thought, is that Intelligence sharing between America and our traditional allies is likely going to end.

00:33:11.000 The whole Five Eyes thing is likely going to end.

00:33:14.000 If you've got America switching sides in the Ukraine-Russia war to instead support Russia, Or to become neutral, which would mean, in this case, to support the aggressor, to support Russia.

00:33:25.000 If you've got ongoing secret communications, even out of government, between the Republican nominee and the person who funded his campaign and led his ground game, right, both of whom are communicating with the Russian government, you are not going to have American allies who have been relying on us as the pinnacle intelligence agency in the world since World War II. You are not going to have continued sharing of information with a new administration that has an open line with Vladimir Putin.

00:33:56.000 And if we're at that level, if that's the kind of transformation that's happening in terms of America on the world stage, the idea of there being a part of the US government that is still in Democratic Party hands becomes a very interesting thing in terms of the stability of the world, right?

00:34:15.000 What do they think about, like, Edward Snowden and Edward Snowden's sacrifices and revelations and Julian Assange?

00:34:22.000 What do they think?

00:34:22.000 Do you know, like, on legacy media channels, do they think that Julian Assange was bad?

00:34:29.000 Because remember, at the time, there was a moment.

00:34:30.000 This is how it went with Julian Assange.

00:34:32.000 I can remember it.

00:34:33.000 Do you remember?

00:34:34.000 Oh my god, this guy on WikiLeaks, he's a hero.

00:34:36.000 He's revealing information that exposes corruption.

00:34:39.000 In particular, military malfeasance, the murder of civilians by the American military, being directed, of course, by branches of government, in Iraq.

00:34:49.000 He's revealed that the Democrat Party emails are full of corrupt communications of the Hillary Clinton campaign, for example.

00:34:58.000 He was lauded, loved, by, like, the Guardian newspaper in my country, by the New York Times in your country, and by all of those sort of premium brands like De Spiegel, Figaro, everything.

00:35:09.000 Every country's got their legacy media brands that are meant to be synonymous with trust but are now synonymous with corruption.

00:35:16.000 Then what happened is Julian Assange went too far and he revealed information that was significantly detrimental to the interests of the powerful and the legacy media bricked it He was accused of rape.

00:35:26.000 He was accused of rape.

00:35:27.000 That's what happened.

00:35:28.000 The rape allegations came out of Sweden, which went away.

00:35:30.000 But by the time those rape allegations had gone away, Julian Assange was on the run, living in embassies and stuff.

00:35:37.000 Then he was in, I think he was in prison in my country, in Belmarsh Prison, a maximum security prison, for five years without trial.

00:35:45.000 Now he's been released, and he's like, you know, thank God he's been released.

00:35:50.000 But...

00:35:51.000 That's what real journalism costs.

00:35:54.000 It means that people will try to destroy you.

00:35:58.000 That's what it means.

00:35:59.000 So, what does the endorsement or even the opinion of MSNBC matter anymore?

00:36:05.000 What does the endorsement of the...

00:36:07.000 What does the celebrity cast mean anymore?

00:36:10.000 These now imploding constellations of falling brands, what do they mean now?

00:36:16.000 What does it mean now?

00:36:18.000 And what does NATO mean now?

00:36:20.000 What do the Five Eyes mean now?

00:36:22.000 Indeed, this could be significant.

00:36:24.000 And even when you see someone like Candace Owens there talking presumably humorously, presumably humorously about Alex Jones being press secretary, I sometimes do think though, like, why not?

00:36:34.000 Why not?

00:36:35.000 Do you think Jen Psaki wasn't biased? 1.00

00:36:37.000 Do you think Karine Jean-Pierre's not biased?

00:36:38.000 Of course you're biased.

00:36:39.000 You're propagating to the media for the government.

00:36:43.000 So, you know, what?

00:36:45.000 In a way, we've all embedded and consumed and somehow imbibed their damnation of us.

00:36:52.000 Like, oh, I'm not good enough.

00:36:53.000 Oh, I could never run a country.

00:36:56.000 I mean, I don't think anyone should be running whole countries.

00:36:58.000 It's too vast.

00:36:58.000 You need massive subsidiarity.

00:37:00.000 You need to devolve power to the smallest possible units for maximum electoral representation.

00:37:05.000 But I don't think that fundamentally Jen Psaki or Karen Jean-Pierre are qualified for a job that Alex Jones isn't.

00:37:14.000 I recognize he's more of an eccentric character.

00:37:17.000 But maybe what America wants and the world needs is eccentricity now.

00:37:21.000 Or do you think that Joe Scarborough or Rachel Maddow, who do you trust more?

00:37:27.000 Julian Assange, Eric, excuse me, don't forget Eric.

00:37:31.000 He's not even in this list.

00:37:32.000 Edward Snowden.

00:37:34.000 Or Alex Jones?

00:37:36.000 Or do you trust Rachel Maddow, Karin Jean-Pierre, Jen Psaki?

00:37:41.000 Who is it that gets to decide these brands?

00:37:44.000 I remember we attended the RNC with Rumble.

00:37:49.000 And we said then, like, you know, when you see Hulk Hogan tearing his top off and going, I love my...

00:37:55.000 It's kind of crazy, particularly if you're sort of familiar with the dynamics of wrestling and the sort of broad commedia dell'arte insanity of that stuff.

00:38:04.000 But I know how that moment would have been read by people...

00:38:09.000 Within the democratic institutions.

00:38:10.000 So that's really crass and vulgar and awful, is it?

00:38:14.000 But Beyonce or Megan Thee Stallion or George Clooney or any one of the stars that endorse Kamala, well that's credible and that's blue chip.

00:38:26.000 It's only branding, you know.

00:38:28.000 It's only branding.

00:38:30.000 There's not some sort of essential quality.

00:38:33.000 To those stars or celebrities.

00:38:35.000 Believe me, I've been in that world.

00:38:37.000 They're not better than you.

00:38:39.000 And obviously you don't need me to tell you that.

00:38:40.000 You know that already, don't you?

00:38:41.000 You know that already.

00:38:43.000 That's what's happening.

00:38:44.000 We've awoken to the fact that we can't trust legacy media.

00:38:47.000 That Hollywood's alright for films.

00:38:50.000 I like...

00:38:50.000 You know, Iron Man and all that.

00:38:53.000 It's a good film.

00:38:54.000 But you don't, like, you know, maybe let them sell you coffee.

00:38:57.000 But don't let them sell you governments.

00:39:00.000 That's what I'd say.

00:39:01.000 But that's just what I think.

00:39:02.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and their chat.

00:39:05.000 Now, we have sponsors on this show.

00:39:06.000 Here's a message from our first sponsor today.

00:40:30.000 Fumed myself to within an inch of my life.

00:40:35.000 The world fairs that Donald Trump says he's going to bring back used to be pretty iconic and defining in your country, didn't they?

00:40:42.000 Didn't, like, like, did Eisenhower have one?

00:40:43.000 Were they, like, fin de sicle things, like things that you had at the end of centuries?

00:40:47.000 Do you have a few of them?

00:40:48.000 Like, you had a few of them that really defined it.

00:40:49.000 Like, my memories as an English person of world fairs are, like, you know, like, maybe there would have been one where we go, There will be flying machines, I tell you!

00:40:58.000 I feel like Amelia Earhart was inspired at a World Fair to fly around and stuff.

00:41:03.000 I know there's an episode of The Simpsons where Nelson and Barton rent a car and they go to where a World Fair once was and they just end up wearing wigs and that's the thumbnail of it.

00:41:15.000 Anyway, Trump's going to bring back world fairs.

00:41:17.000 What does it mean, that, for America?

00:41:20.000 No, there's no nicotine here.

00:41:24.000 So what do world fairs mean for America?

00:41:27.000 And is that sort of an indication of...

00:41:33.000 A kind of a return to, well, making America great again.

00:41:36.000 Let's have a look at what he means by bringing back these world...

00:41:38.000 Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country's history.

00:41:45.000 250 years of American independence.

00:41:49.000 What a great country.

00:41:51.000 We have to keep it that way.

00:41:53.000 But that's why, as a nation, we should be preparing for a most spectacular birthday party.

00:42:00.000 We want to make it the best of all time.

00:42:02.000 Here is my plan to give America's founding in 1776, the incredible anniversary it truly deserves.

00:42:10.000 On day one, I will convene a White House task force called Salute to America 250.

00:42:17.000 It will be responsible for coordinating with state and local governments to ensure not just one day of celebration, but an entire year of festivities across the nation, starting on Memorial Day 2025 and continuing through July 4th, 2026.

00:42:35.000 Second, I will work with all 50 governors, Republican and Democrat alike, To create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all 50 states.

00:42:47.000 It'll be something.

00:42:49.000 The Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the...

00:42:53.000 Like Epcot Center?

00:42:55.000 Will it be like Epcot Center?

00:42:57.000 Seems alright.

00:42:58.000 It's nice, friendly, soft power.

00:43:00.000 Yeah, I like the sound of that.

00:43:01.000 I like the sound of that.

00:43:03.000 Don't you think that would be pretty nice?

00:43:05.000 So far, we've seen foreign policy that's like...

00:43:10.000 Hey, we're still on YouTube.

00:43:12.000 We're going to leave YouTube right now.

00:43:14.000 We're going to be talking about Elon.

00:43:15.000 Thank you, baby.

00:43:17.000 Later, we're going to look at some of the best meltdown reactions to Trump's election.

00:43:24.000 We're going to be listening to this.

00:43:26.000 Irony of irony.

00:43:26.000 CNN is saying that Elon Musk will use X as a propaganda organ.

00:43:31.000 Oh, how do you know that?

00:43:33.000 Because that's what we were doing before he took it over.

00:43:37.000 Amazing.

00:43:37.000 It's going to be an amazing show.

00:43:39.000 And remember, if you're not on Awaken Wonder yet, you won't be able to join me for my live stream show with Eric Metaxas.

00:43:44.000 And if you are on Awaken Wonder, you will.

00:43:46.000 Click the link.

00:43:47.000 Get on over to Rumble with us, baby. 1.00

00:43:50.000 Okay, so let's have a look at this.

00:43:53.000 This is good, and this is an indication that the legacy media haven't understood some of the changes that have just taken place.

00:44:00.000 Here's Joy Reid saying that Kamala ran a perfect and flawless campaign because of celebrity endorsements. 1.00

00:44:07.000 Is this the end of the celebrity endorsement, or at least the type of celebrity endorsement that we had grown accustomed to?

00:44:14.000 Think of like 10 years ago.

00:44:16.000 Would it have been, or 15, or whatever, pick a number.

00:44:18.000 Would it have been possible that For all of the world's greatest stars to line up on a red carpet of endorsement and be rejected.

00:44:27.000 What does it tell us about our changing trust in celebrity and in the landscape of celebrity and the way that power and soft power work?

00:44:35.000 What does it tell us about the mistrust we have since the Epstein list and the Epstein scandal and the revelations about Diddy and that kind of subterranean alleged network of sex parties that apparently involves big stars and big political figures?

00:44:51.000 Have we lost our faith and trust in celebrities?

00:44:55.000 Now, as someone who's been inside those institutions, as it were, I now recognise...

00:45:01.000 That they've probably always been propaganda.

00:45:03.000 I mean, you read them books like Hollywood Babylon and you read that it's always been kind of built on sex and intrigue.

00:45:10.000 And it looks like now, in this new communication age, they haven't undergone a massive rebrand and reframing.

00:45:19.000 It's not that...

00:45:20.000 Great films don't still come out of Hollywood.

00:45:22.000 Probably this year there'll be things that get made that you're sort of going to want to watch.

00:45:25.000 But the idea that stars and celebrities now are good for anything other than, you know, sort of make some films or whatever.

00:45:31.000 I'm talking about probably a Ricky Gervais take on celebrity.

00:45:35.000 You know when you see Ricky hosting the Golden Globes, he's like, get your statue, thank your agent, and you're gone.

00:45:41.000 Like, maybe...

00:45:42.000 Ricky Gervais kind of preempted the kind of mistrust that many people were feeling for celebrity, probably because we've grown tired of their endorsements.

00:45:50.000 I recognize I'm from that world a bit.

00:45:52.000 You know, I've been in movies and I'm a stand-up comedian and all that kind of thing.

00:45:56.000 But what I'm saying is that there are sets of values transcendent of those values, and if you don't have access to them, Then you will find a hard ceiling because celebrity is not God.

00:46:07.000 Government is not God.

00:46:09.000 And now we know that people are not going to treat it like one.

00:46:14.000 Let's have a look at Joy Reid saying that Kamala's campaign was flawless on the basis of, you know, on that basis. 1.00

00:46:21.000 And I think it's important to say that, you know, anyone who has experienced or been in the United States for any period of time and experienced this country's history and knows it cannot have believed that it would be easy to elect a woman president, let alone a woman of color.

00:46:36.000 Let's just be clear.

00:46:38.000 And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run is not true now.

00:46:44.000 I mean, this really was an historic, flawlessly run campaign.

00:46:49.000 Queen Latifah never endorses anyone.

00:46:52.000 She came out.

00:46:53.000 You know, I mean, she had every...

00:46:56.000 That's pretty amazing.

00:46:57.000 It's a bit like the Chappelle joke, no?

00:46:59.000 Like, we're going live now for 9-11 reactions.

00:47:03.000 We've got Ja Rule on the line.

00:47:05.000 Ja Rule! 0.92

00:47:06.000 I'm going to need more than Ja Rule!

00:47:08.000 Like, because we've been now conditioned to living in a perpetual state of crisis, if Trump wins...

00:47:14.000 He's Hitler. 0.95

00:47:15.000 There's a pandemic. 0.71

00:47:17.000 Get in your house, take your medicine.

00:47:19.000 Suddenly, Ja Rule or George Clooney or any celebrity, really.

00:47:24.000 I'm not even excluding celebrities.

00:47:26.000 Who cares anymore?

00:47:28.000 Who actually cares about...

00:47:31.000 Anything other than sets of principles and virtues that are derived from something a little more esoteric and a little more valuable than the pursuit of box office or the selling of records or the selling of products.

00:47:46.000 We're going to need a little more now, I feel.

00:47:49.000 And I think it's important to say that, you know...

00:47:51.000 Not you.

00:47:53.000 Let's have a look a bit...

00:47:54.000 Let's have a look at...

00:47:55.000 You know, again, I think there's a further indication of the misunderstanding of what's happening.

00:48:02.000 See, when you look at Legacy Media, you can see there's an ongoing misdiagnosis here.

00:48:06.000 Like, now, this is the view...

00:48:08.000 Well, so many people are excited, weren't they?

00:48:09.000 Did you see how many people posted about...

00:48:11.000 I've got to watch The View!

00:48:12.000 The View became appointment viewing, didn't it?

00:48:15.000 For like 24 hours because people were anticipating some strong reactions. 1.00

00:48:18.000 Let's have a look at Sunny Hostin saying that uneducated white women and Latino men are too stupid to... 1.00

00:48:27.000 Sorry, I think maybe she's suggesting they shouldn't be allowed to vote. 1.00

00:48:30.000 I want to dig further into the demographics because black women tried to save this country again last night. 1.00

00:48:36.000 92% of black women voted for the vice president. 0.98

00:48:40.000 You have Latinas in the 70 percentile voting for the vice president.

00:48:45.000 What we did not have is white women who voted about 52%, right, for Donald Trump. 0.99

00:48:51.000 Uneducated white women is my understanding. 1.00

00:48:53.000 You have Latino men. 0.99

00:48:56.000 Uneducated white women. 1.00

00:48:59.000 You can't carve the world up like that. 0.98

00:49:01.000 I suppose you can, because you can look at data sets.

00:49:03.000 But there are other criteria to people.

00:49:05.000 You could look at, you know, like I suppose from a psychoanalytical point of view, you could look at whether or not they're sort of aggressive, or you could look at whether or not they feel like they've been mistreated or abused or exploited.

00:49:16.000 Or you could look at what they feel about the institutions of power and government, whether they're cynical and sceptical people.

00:49:21.000 Maybe we don't Carve people up like that no more.

00:49:24.000 I mean, wasn't that part of the civil rights movement to get beyond that?

00:49:27.000 I know it's a bit of a hacky argument, in a way, to suggest that we should try to fulfill the visions of great men like Martin Luther King, who said we had to start looking beyond those superficial taxonomies.

00:49:38.000 And he, of course, was a Christian minister, so he had available to him a Christian purview, i.e.

00:49:43.000 we are part of one human family, we must respect and love people, apartheid and exploitation are anathema and are against our nature.

00:49:51.000 The legacy media, of course, in a sense, while claiming to be pursuing his legacy, inverting it by looking at everything in blunt demographic terms, seeking, I believe, to stoke division in order to facilitate further power of corporatist globalists.

00:50:10.000 And now that that's not worked, they're lamenting and damning people that didn't vote the way they were told to.

00:50:16.000 Voting the way that you're told to is not democratic.

00:50:19.000 That's...

00:50:20.000 I don't know what it is, but it's not democratic.

00:50:22.000 Latino men actually voting more for him.

00:50:25.000 And you have...

00:50:26.000 And black men were not the story here because they voted almost 80% for the vice president.

00:50:32.000 So why do you think that uneducated white women voted against their reproductive health freedoms? 1.00

00:50:37.000 And why do you think Latino men voted in favor of someone that says he's going to deport the majority of his community?

00:50:45.000 That's an interesting analysis.

00:50:47.000 I think perhaps because...

00:50:49.000 What are like landmark ideas that we can use to track this?

00:50:53.000 The pandemic is helpful because the pandemic shows us how a government is tending towards authoritarianism whenever it gets the opportunity.

00:51:00.000 It's relationship with big business, and business doesn't even seem like the correct word anymore, giant corporate monoliths that stand astride the globe is a great indicator of why people might become disillusioned.

00:51:12.000 I don't think people are voting against other people's sexual freedom or reproductive freedom.

00:51:19.000 I know that the subject of abortion provokes very strong emotions, surely in anybody, because it's sort of a really painful and difficult thing.

00:51:27.000 I don't think that that's what's defining this election.

00:51:29.000 I feel like people don't trust the government, don't trust the media, don't trust the judiciary, and don't trust Hollywood, and don't trust entertainment.

00:51:36.000 Here's Stephen Colbert, who, like all late-night talk show hosts, trended towards supporting the Democrat Party, who during the pandemic danced along with vaccines, all dressed up and stuff, and like a vaccine.

00:51:49.000 I mean, it's just such a strange time, really, saying that the vast majority of Americans don't care about democracy.

00:51:55.000 Let's see if we can pick this apart in real time.

00:52:01.000 It happened.

00:52:02.000 Again.

00:52:04.000 After a bizarre and vicious campaign fueled by a desperate need not to go to jail, Donald Trump has won the 2024 election.

00:52:15.000 It's almost like you rehearsed that.

00:52:18.000 The deep shock and sense of loss is enormous.

00:52:22.000 Another moment from a Colbert audience that's worth remembering is when Stephen Colbert said, we know that CNN gives us unbiased news.

00:52:28.000 And the whole audience laughed.

00:52:30.000 So I wouldn't be surprised if they did rehearse that book.

00:52:33.000 The sense of loss is enormous.

00:52:35.000 Okay, but let's look at the bright side.

00:52:36.000 This way at least there'll be a peaceful transfer of power.

00:52:40.000 Mike Pence!

00:52:41.000 I wonder, though, about that peaceful transfer of power, and I wonder where the 81 million votes that Biden had actually came from, given that Kamala got 66 million and that Obama got 61 million.

00:52:55.000 I might be getting these numbers a little askew, but there was an extraordinary spike for Biden.

00:53:01.000 Like, where are them 15 million votes gone?

00:53:04.000 Ali Ali, auction free!

00:53:08.000 All day yesterday I was walking around proudly wearing my I Voted sticker.

00:53:11.000 Today I wore my I am questioning my fundamental belief in the goodness of humanity sticker.

00:53:17.000 That's the problem.

00:53:18.000 That is the problem.

00:53:20.000 I'm not from your country, obviously. 0.98

00:53:22.000 I'm in your country right now and I'm moving around Florida and I'm meeting people that are Trump supporters and they are not like sort of gurning psychopathic racist lunatics. 0.94

00:53:35.000 There are a variety of people that you can't basket of deplorables off.

00:53:40.000 You couldn't do it prior to the election, and you certainly can't do it after the election in an attempt to galvanize the now proven histrionic and out-of-touch media leaders of the other demographic that I think have falsely instilled in people a sense of despair and terror when there's already been a Trump government from 2016 to 2020, and if anything, it weren't That different.

00:54:08.000 I know Donald Trump and Donald Trump supporters say, no, no, no, manufacturing went out and it was the beautiful economy.

00:54:12.000 I know all that kind of stuff, but I don't know.

00:54:13.000 I have a very optimistic appraisal of the possibilities for humankind, and particularly for your country, that it could become a country of glorious vision, of spiritual fulfillment, of true power on the world stage, the power to sacrifice and the power to change and the power to bring about peace, rather than the power to dominate without consequence.

00:54:35.000 So...

00:54:36.000 It's really odd to hear Stephen Colbert, who I've spoken to, I've been on that show a bunch of times, who I know is Christian, who I know is a decent man, I reckon, make jokes, the basis of which is that half the population, or over half, 71 million, or however many votes Trump got, are somehow deficient, or defunct, or defective.

00:54:59.000 Doesn't seem right to me that that would happen.

00:55:01.000 But in a minute, we're going to look at some of the meltdowns from TikTok.

00:55:06.000 And I'm wondering if it's even ethical for me to look at that.

00:55:08.000 And we're going to talk about how, what kind of created that state of mind.

00:55:11.000 How do people get themselves in that state?

00:55:13.000 And it's because of this kind of media, isn't it?

00:55:15.000 Let me know in the comments and chat if you agree with that.

00:55:17.000 They give those out.

00:55:19.000 They give those out at the bake sale.

00:55:23.000 Right outside.

00:55:24.000 Now, as a late night host, people often say to me, come on, part of you has got to want Trump to win because he gives you so much material to work with.

00:55:34.000 No.

00:55:35.000 No.

00:55:37.000 No one tells the guy who cleans the bathroom, wow, you must love it when someone has explosive diarrhea.

00:55:43.000 There's so much material for you to work with.

00:55:47.000 Now, you understand that?

00:55:50.000 Is that good?

00:55:52.000 I wish, you wish, so many of us wish this hadn't happened, but that is not for us to decide.

00:55:57.000 This is a democracy.

00:55:59.000 That's democracy with a capital DUH. And in this democracy, the majority has spoken, and they said they don't care that much about democracy.

00:56:10.000 And I want to take a moment to congratulate Kamala Harris and Tim Walls on running an amazing...

00:56:15.000 That's really weird.

00:56:16.000 Don't care about democracy.

00:56:19.000 As Mike Benz explained to me, when they talk about democracy, they don't mean the ability to vote for representatives to carry your interests through systems of government.

00:56:33.000 They mean the systems of government themselves.

00:56:36.000 They mean...

00:56:38.000 They want the judiciary, the media and the various executive branches of your government to be controlled by a certain ideology and they don't want that to be infected, impacted or altered.

00:56:51.000 You know, all the while the American taxpayers have been funding the ongoing and hopefully soon resolved war between Ukraine and Russia, it's been presented as a war To protect democracy, even though there are no elections in Ukraine.

00:57:02.000 I know a lot of countries suspend elections when there's a war on, I know that.

00:57:07.000 But they've also suspended the media, and they've also got really interesting relationships with BlackRock, and there's a lot going on there.

00:57:16.000 The information that we're given matters.

00:57:18.000 And it's, I think, very harmful to derisorily, if such a word is possible, derisorily dismiss 71 million people as not caring about democracy.

00:57:29.000 But I think what they really care about are probably Values, principles, families, individual rights and community.

00:57:37.000 And I know that there would be pushback on that.

00:57:39.000 Well, don't they care about the rights of people to get abortions? 1.00

00:57:42.000 Man, look, it's not a subject I can claim to be an expert in, but isn't Trump actually saying the state should decide at what point?

00:57:51.000 So there's no one saying, I don't think, ban abortions as a centralized edict.

00:57:56.000 So even that understandably galvanizing and distressing issue that centers around the sanctity of human life is being misrepresented, like all of the other issues.

00:58:08.000 ...walls on running an amazing 107-day campaign.

00:58:13.000 You know, come on.

00:58:15.000 That was extraordinary.

00:58:17.000 Right out of the gate.

00:58:19.000 They headed right out of the gate.

00:58:22.000 Yeah, people saying about that sort of Republican democracy.

00:58:25.000 In a sense, I think these two synecdoches are interchangeable and mean the will of the people can be represented through institutions of government, through the ballot box.

00:58:35.000 That's what I mean when I say that.

00:58:37.000 Alright, we make this content in conjunction with our partners.

00:58:41.000 Here's a message from one of them now.

01:00:00.000 Alright then, let's have a look.

01:00:03.000 Now, let's see whether or not people really believe that Adolf Hitler has just taken power.

01:00:10.000 Are people now fleeing?

01:00:13.000 Are people setting up opportunities to get the hell out of this place before the various systems of genocide, slaughter and endless war are set up?

01:00:22.000 Or not?

01:00:23.000 Here's Greenwald posted on that.

01:00:26.000 I feel like none of the people who call Trump the new Hitler are reacting or preparing as if Hitler is soon to be in power.

01:00:32.000 Have all the people that in factly claim they would be sent in Trump's camps, AOC, Mattel, Olbermann, Joubert, begun to make preparations to flee.

01:00:39.000 Interesting observation.

01:00:40.000 Interesting question.

01:00:44.000 Well, certainly there are some extremely strong reactions.

01:00:47.000 Now, I've thought a lot about whether or not to show this because I don't want to mock people that are vulnerable.

01:00:51.000 But I'd like to pose this question.

01:00:54.000 What is it that is making these people have such a strong reaction?

01:00:57.000 Remember, Trump's been in government.

01:00:59.000 I'm going to try and give a sort of cold appraisal of this situation.

01:01:04.000 Imagine...

01:01:05.000 If the most ambitious version of what this election represents is a repetition of what happened between 2016 and 2020, what were the worst moments?

01:01:15.000 I'm talking from a liberal mindset.

01:01:17.000 Is it when the Muslim countries couldn't fly into America?

01:01:22.000 Is that it?

01:01:23.000 It's a genuine question.

01:01:24.000 Let me know in the comments in chat.

01:01:25.000 Was it the building of the wall?

01:01:28.000 It can't be that, can it though?

01:01:29.000 Because Kamala Harris said she was going to build the wall and Biden wanted to build the wall.

01:01:33.000 What is the most egregious thing that Trump did from a liberal perspective, from a liberal perspective between 2016 and 2020?

01:01:40.000 And what is it that solicited this extraordinary reaction?

01:01:45.000 This is what's sort of generally being referred to as the best How did we get here?

01:01:55.000 How did we get here?

01:01:57.000 What in the Alice in Wonderland nightmares is going on right now? 0.99

01:02:02.000 All I can say is how fucking dare you? 0.98

01:02:07.000 That's Greta Thunberg. 0.98

01:02:07.000 That's interesting. 0.98

01:02:12.000 Retread, isn't it?

01:02:13.000 That, you know, how dare you?

01:02:14.000 And that how dare you motif, I think a lot of people didn't like that.

01:02:18.000 I admire anyone who's really sort of committed to what they believe in.

01:02:21.000 It's a good attribute, isn't it, to really be committed to what you believe in.

01:02:23.000 But that sort of how dare you mentality, it's just that there's a solipsism and narcissism and a grandiosity in that, that I feel is not going to be helpful for any individual and certainly not for a whole culture or society.

01:02:39.000 That's a weird mindset.

01:02:41.000 If you voted for that man, if you voted for anybody other than Kamala and you live in one of the states, that it...

01:02:49.000 If you vote for anyone, listen, please, I'll try to be specific and particular.

01:02:54.000 I'm not saying that those people, those individuals, should be ridiculed or condemned.

01:02:57.000 I know a lot of you will really get off on it.

01:03:00.000 What I'm saying is, what is making them feel that way?

01:03:03.000 In the same way that we can be directed to drink Coca-Cola when it's not really very good for you, and I let my children drink it.

01:03:10.000 What kind of conditioning, what kind of coaxing, what kind of propaganda has led people to think that what's about to happen is so significant and so against their interests that it warrants this degree of emotion?

01:03:25.000 You live in one of the states that it was, you know, close.

01:03:29.000 Or if you didn't vote, I chose family!

01:03:41.000 I chose women! 0.99

01:03:42.000 I chose America!

01:03:44.000 I love you!

01:03:46.000 That's people that's not very...

01:03:47.000 I reckon what you'd find, like, remember, from a compassionate and loving perspective, that many of them people have been exposed to trauma and also now propaganda.

01:03:58.000 So they connect that propaganda to their trauma.

01:04:02.000 Like, you know, that they've had tough lives in one way or another.

01:04:04.000 Because everyone's had a tough life because it's tough out here.

01:04:06.000 That's why you probably do need a kind of tough president for these tough times.

01:04:10.000 And certainly what you need are people that are willing to get in there and look at the institutions of government.

01:04:14.000 Certainly you need people that want to end war.

01:04:16.000 I don't know how they've been coaxed into that state.

01:04:19.000 Everyone's saying in the chat, legacy media, legacy media, maybe you're right.

01:04:23.000 I love you. 0.99

01:04:25.000 How the fuck is this? 0.98

01:04:26.000 Right, some people are saying some of the stuff that Trump said in the Awakened Wonder chat, like the grab-em-by-the-P-word moment. 0.99

01:04:32.000 I suppose, though, like, but, you know, that was not a great thing to have said on tape, but when was that, and what was that, and do you think that Donald Trump's sort of really like that as a sort of a married man, as a father? 0.80

01:04:43.000 Now, certainly me, in the past, I might have said pretty dumb things, but...

01:04:49.000 Does it warrant that kind of hysteria?

01:04:51.000 And how's that going to actually affect your...

01:04:53.000 Like, if you can't handle people saying stuff, this is going to be a tougher world. 0.99

01:04:57.000 Fuck, is this still happening? 1.00

01:04:59.000 All I've ever known, politically, is hatred. 1.00

01:05:02.000 I'm done!

01:05:04.000 Oh no!

01:05:05.000 It's not only known hatred, politically.

01:05:07.000 I'll tell you what this is.

01:05:09.000 Everyone is playing out their personal trauma or their personal psychosis according to external stimulants.

01:05:16.000 Like me as well, or you.

01:05:18.000 I bet all of us are.

01:05:19.000 Like we all have certain things that sort of...

01:05:22.000 Thrum the strings of our inherited insanity.

01:05:26.000 Like, you know, like you might be a person that gets intimidated by certain behaviour, conduct or individuals.

01:05:31.000 You might be someone who's aroused or find a certain conduct alluring.

01:05:34.000 So I reckon there's a sort of a baseline of characteristics and then something happens, and particularly if you've been really heavily conditioned by media, and bam, out it comes.

01:05:42.000 Done!

01:05:43.000 I'm done.

01:05:44.000 I'm done.

01:05:45.000 I'm done with you.

01:05:47.000 I'm done with you and your mother and your sister. 1.00

01:05:50.000 I'm just done with all of this.

01:05:57.000 I'm sorry.

01:05:59.000 It's all my friends.

01:06:00.000 I don't understand how scared of this man I am.

01:06:09.000 All of the people who voted for him will be, like, happy and they'll just be celebrating. 0.98

01:06:13.000 And everyone else, everyone who feels threatened by him is fucking scared. 0.96

01:06:17.000 Like, we're scared for our lives, we're scared for our friends. 1.00

01:06:21.000 How dare you! 0.99

01:06:23.000 That's a religious impulse that's been connected to secular and managerial events, in a way.

01:06:29.000 None of us should be hysterical about the outcome of the election, but I do reckon, had Kamala won, I might have felt, oh, is this going to mean that censorship's going to get worse and surveillance is going to increase and that there are going to be progressive crises that are used to legitimise further authority, telling us that they are exerting that authority only to protect us?

01:06:48.000 Is this going to mean ongoing wars around the globe supporting Ukraine to the point of annihilating their population in a war they can't win?

01:06:55.000 Is this going to mean likely conflict with China rather than diplomacy?

01:06:59.000 I really hope that this government within the We should be more affected, I think, by deception and hypocrisy.

01:07:21.000 Like, just to give you a...

01:07:22.000 A couple of examples, building that wall after saying you weren't going to build a wall and that building that wall was so, so terrible.

01:07:29.000 The corruption that took place during the pandemic period that's still not being addressed and might be addressed now that Bobby Kennedy is in a significant position in government.

01:07:37.000 The health crisis that's going on across America.

01:07:40.000 The stoking of cultural division that does take two sides to escalate.

01:07:45.000 I think this could be a really good time for your country, honestly.

01:07:49.000 And I think, rather than ridiculing and mocking the people in those videos, although it's easy, I suppose there are certain things that could make me feel that way.

01:07:55.000 So, Lord, let us be compassionate.

01:07:57.000 You put this man into office for another four years, knowing damn well what it means for our country, what it means for us as a people.

01:08:06.000 To know that there is that much ignorance and that much hate in this country, it's so terrifying.

01:08:15.000 It's so terrifying.

01:08:17.000 It's not ignorance and hate, but what's terrifying is that we are all so easily manipulated by media.

01:08:23.000 What's heartening is that legacy media is losing its grip on people and some of these folks will be debugged now and I pray that they find a higher power to cling to that can warrant that level of devotion and that I'm a person that can get hysterical and thankfully I found a God that can handle my madness, can handle my fallen nature and can give me some guidance, some principles, some community, some encouragement.

01:08:51.000 And that's exactly what we'll be talking about with Eric Metaxas.

01:08:56.000 On Break Bread with Brand, which is coming up in just a few minutes on our channel.

01:09:03.000 It's going to be, thank you, well done.

01:09:04.000 It's lovely to see that text on there.

01:09:05.000 I'm so happy with that.

01:09:06.000 Well done, guys.

01:09:07.000 We'll be doing that at 1.15 EST. So join us.

01:09:11.000 That's like not long after we finish here.

01:09:14.000 You Awaken Wonders in the chat, like Erin Trospective and True Chimera and Kellyanne Cass and Jude Syke.

01:09:20.000 We'll be doing that chat with Eric Metaxas.

01:09:22.000 If you don't know who he is, he's a theologian and author, and we'll be talking about Christian principles, particularly unity within Christianity and forming kind of a spiritual mandate to change the world meaningfully.

01:09:35.000 So J.A. Brockie and Walk to Live and Venus 6969 and Girls That Girls, all you lot.

01:09:42.000 Get over into our Awaken Wonders community right now on Locals and join us for that conversation.

01:09:47.000 But we've still got plenty more to talk about here.

01:09:50.000 CNN! The propaganda arm of the government have had the gall to say that Elon Musk will use X as an organ of propaganda.

01:10:00.000 Well, we know, thanks to the Twitter files, that that's exactly how social media has been used as soon as the government worked out how to use it in that way.

01:10:09.000 So who's a greater threat now?

01:10:11.000 To free speech.

01:10:12.000 Is it Elon Musk or is it CNN? Let me know in the comments and chat.

01:10:16.000 Let's have a look at that claim being made.

01:10:18.000 I want to ask you about X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, and how a Musk role in a Trump administration would interact with his ownership of that platform.

01:10:29.000 I would suspect he's going to try to merge Trump social.

01:10:32.000 I've heard from a number of people today with X and take it public because it's a meme stock now.

01:10:37.000 Trump social already, which is a terrible business.

01:10:40.000 So is X, by the way.

01:10:41.000 X has always been a terrible business, and that was preceding Musk, and now it's worse than ever.

01:10:45.000 But they could merge them and make it a meme stock and make a lot of money for themselves.

01:10:50.000 That could be interesting and incredibly corrupt.

01:10:52.000 They could also, he'll use it as a propaganda organ, which is precisely why he bought it.

01:10:57.000 People misunderstood.

01:10:58.000 They kept saying he was losing money, and I think it was very clear it wasn't about money.

01:11:02.000 This was a great investment by Elon Musk in Donald Trump, and that's how he sees it.

01:11:08.000 He spent hundreds of millions to make billions, and he could be our world's first trillionaire if you want to.

01:11:13.000 If you're comfortable with a single person who has interests all over the federal government, including $15 billion in contracts, deciding things, and I know it's gone on and off, What the pundit there has described are some principles, right?

01:11:27.000 And the principles, if you listen to them, are there should not be concentration of media in one person's portfolio.

01:11:36.000 But think about News International or News Corp, the set of international media interests around Rupert Murdoch.

01:11:43.000 And think of all the journalists that work for Rupert Murdoch.

01:11:47.000 And the Believe they're doing good work.

01:11:49.000 Fervidly carrying out their work.

01:11:51.000 We're doing good journalism.

01:11:52.000 We're doing good journalism.

01:11:53.000 But essentially, if they say stuff that is detrimental to the interests of Rupert Murdoch, they're out.

01:11:59.000 Think of the legacy media organizations in the United States of America that are dependent on the advertising money of Big Pharma.

01:12:06.000 What must they be thinking now?

01:12:09.000 And if you're against billionaires having influence in politics, then what is the relationship of Bill Gates with the Democratic Party?

01:12:14.000 And what is the relationship of George Soros with the Democratic Party?

01:12:17.000 So if that is a true principle, and you are a true supporter of the Democratic Party, what you'd be saying is, I can't be in this party as long as you keep accepting that money.

01:12:26.000 Or you don't have that principle.

01:12:28.000 You don't have that principle.

01:12:30.000 So those were, I think, interesting questions to put forward.

01:12:34.000 But those questions do not have the same validity if you only ask them when it suits you.

01:12:39.000 If you only ask them when it suits you.

01:12:42.000 From January, I guess it's around January 6th that there's a peaceful transfer of power, we'll be able to look at how the second Trump term looks.

01:12:51.000 And I guess, if you were just looking at it rationally, it's going to be a bit like The first Trump term between 2016 and 2020, and Trump would say that was negatively impacted by the pandemic, right?

01:13:03.000 And any reasonable person would say, well, but now it's a Trump government where he's publicly stated that he made mistakes in the advisers that he appointed, and this time he plans to give more power to Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, and we'll see.

01:13:17.000 We'll be able to experience it.

01:13:19.000 What I don't think it's going to be, and here I'll say it on camera, I don't think we're all going to end up in internment camps for dissent.

01:13:26.000 And I feel that the way that things were going under, and I'm not talking about Kamala Harris and Joe Biden as individual human beings, I'm talking about a set of global institutions that have co-opted democracy, primarily using the language of social democracy, and yet the The policy of the neocon policies that we recognize from the sort of Iraq wars.

01:13:45.000 That's why someone like Cheney can become part of that movement and it kind of doesn't matter.

01:13:49.000 What we would see is a sort of a slide towards Kafkaesque, Huxleyesque, Orwellian totalitarianism, all the while being told, say thank you.

01:13:59.000 Say thank you for the boot stamping on your face, decimating the divine image that each of us bear as the insignia of all that is in holy.

01:14:07.000 Say thank you for that.

01:14:08.000 Say thank you for that because we are protecting you.

01:14:11.000 But that's just what I think.

01:14:12.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

01:14:44.000 Let's see what Bobby Kennedy makes of this.

01:14:46.000 Do you sometimes feel a bit older than you actually are?

01:14:49.000 Even today, I had a little bit of a compliment.

01:14:51.000 I told someone my age, I'm not telling you it, and they went, you can't be that old.

01:16:10.000 Go get it.

01:16:11.000 It'll be absolutely delicious.

01:16:14.000 Okay, and good for you.

01:16:15.000 Perhaps yet more significantly than that.

01:16:18.000 Let's have a look at The View calling for censorship of social media.

01:16:22.000 The View.

01:16:22.000 Can we not let Fox News off the hook, please?

01:16:24.000 I don't understand.

01:16:25.000 And use Max.

01:16:26.000 And all the fake news that's been going out there.

01:16:29.000 You know, one of the things that we need to do, and it's not to abolish the Department of Education, as a former teacher, believe me, he's talking about doing that.

01:16:38.000 You know, kids in, I brought this up before, I'm going to bring it up again.

01:16:41.000 In Finland, kids in nursery school are learning to discern between fake news and real news.

01:16:49.000 They should be teaching that in this country.

01:16:51.000 Teach children tolerance.

01:16:53.000 Teach them to think critically.

01:16:55.000 Well, it would help if we could regulate social media because one of the biggest offenders is D.C. and Congress have not been able to do one thing in regard to the rogue corporations in social media.

01:17:05.000 It's not going to get any better with Elon Musk in the administration.

01:17:08.000 How dangerous is Elon Musk?

01:17:10.000 He's now in charge of three branches of government. 1.00

01:17:14.000 Elon Musk, the idiot, spent $44 billion on Twitter and all he got is control over three branches of government. 0.99

01:17:21.000 Now you can see why people might have oligarchical concerns about such a... 1.00

01:17:26.000 And let's see how that plays out in real time.

01:17:30.000 But let's also look at what Elon Musk has done for free speech in so much as he certainly deregulated and debugged Twitter of all of its insidious interlocution.

01:17:41.000 Of government agencies like the FBI and CIA who are deeply embedded, who are paying money.

01:17:45.000 There's a lot going on in there.

01:17:47.000 It's not happening in the same way to the same degree now.

01:17:49.000 That much we can be certain of.

01:17:51.000 Here is Mike Benz, friend of our show and analyst of deep state corruption on Dan Bongino, Bongino Army, explaining to him how Facebook caved on the government when it came to censorship during the pandemic and how Elon Musk has stood firm in this area.

01:18:08.000 Mike, you are the man on the deep state.

01:18:11.000 Elon was the game changer for free speech, wasn't he?

01:18:14.000 A guy with the assets to finally take on this big state, deep state monolith.

01:18:19.000 Absolutely he was.

01:18:20.000 The difference between Elon and Zuckerberg is really interesting.

01:18:23.000 It's not just the difference between a double-digit billionaire in Zuckerberg and a triple-digit billionaire in Moscow.

01:18:28.000 Zuckerberg had those misgivings about censorship while he was running Facebook.

01:18:32.000 He said in 2019 that he thought censorship had gone too far on Facebook.

01:18:37.000 But then an operation called Change the Terms was run.

01:18:40.000 Facebook lost $60 billion in market cap in just six weeks.

01:18:43.000 And so Zuckerberg caved and gave the advertisers everything they wanted.

01:18:48.000 When Elon Musk, that same fastball came at him, he gave double barrel middle fingers and said, GFY. So I think Zuckerberg feels those sort of libertarian free speech principles, but is not willing to sacrifice the financial and business enterprise that he's developed.

01:19:03.000 Whereas Elon Musk, when he was asked during that pivotal interview with the advertisers, well, what will you do if X goes bankrupt?

01:19:10.000 What if they actually kill the company?

01:19:12.000 And he says, let them kill the company. 0.97

01:19:14.000 The world will watch. 0.97

01:19:15.000 He basically set himself up practically on the cross allegorically to say, listen, you can come at me.

01:19:21.000 I may go to jail for this.

01:19:22.000 I may lose Tesla and SpaceX, but I believe in human civilization.

01:19:26.000 I believe in human freedom.

01:19:28.000 His life purpose is essentially to fight for that at this point, and it was the game changer.

01:19:33.000 Ah, interesting perspective.

01:19:35.000 Now, in Australia, social media is being incredibly restricted.

01:19:40.000 Under-16s won't be allowed on it.

01:19:42.000 And as a parent, you can see why restricting children's access to social media might in some ways be sensible.

01:19:50.000 On the surface, it looks okay.

01:19:52.000 But do you imagine this might be used at some point to legitimise further censorship?

01:19:56.000 Social media is doing harm to our kids, and I'm calling time on it.

01:20:01.000 Do you reckon that really, across the world, they're going, oh no, we don't want another Trump.

01:20:06.000 It's stopped legitimising mass censorship of social media, first of all by protecting children, then by protecting adults, who really are just furry children.

01:20:15.000 Time on it.

01:20:16.000 I've spoken to thousands of parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles.

01:20:21.000 I spoke to an auntie and uncle earlier today.

01:20:24.000 They're terrified that their children might be on social media.

01:20:28.000 I spoke to one Scrooge McDuck.

01:20:31.000 He was terrified that Kiwi, Dewey and Louie could be influenced into thinking anything other than the opinions that are sanctioned by the state.

01:20:39.000 They, like me, are worried sick about the safety of our kids online.

01:20:44.000 And I want Australian parents and families to know that the government has your back.

01:20:50.000 Now, government's proposed age is 16.

01:20:55.000 And your front.

01:20:56.000 The government's got your back, your front, your sides, the government's all over you.

01:20:59.000 It's watching you from every direction.

01:21:01.000 Think of yourself as the government's nephew.

01:21:04.000 We're going to protect you for as long as it's convenient.

01:21:06.000 And then you might have some nephew duties that you may not enjoy.

01:21:09.000 That decision was made in Cabinet on Monday.

01:21:13.000 And that proposal will go to the National Cabinet meeting that I'm convening online, a virtual meeting tomorrow morning.

01:21:22.000 It's virtual.

01:21:24.000 I'm actually doing it on social media.

01:21:27.000 The irony.

01:21:28.000 Of course children should be protected.

01:21:29.000 That's the job of parents, to protect their children.

01:21:33.000 Of course people that are not adults have to be protected. 0.98

01:21:36.000 Of course there are certain decisions children cannot make that adults can make.

01:21:40.000 But there aren't decisions that governments should be making for vast populations, particularly if they're making those decisions actually because they are controlled by global cartels rather than the populations that fund that government through their taxes.

01:21:53.000 The East Safety Commissioner will provide oversight and enforcement.

01:21:57.000 The legislation will come into force 12 months after passage.

01:22:01.000 There will be a review of the legislation following its commencement to make sure.

01:22:06.000 This is world leading legislation.

01:22:09.000 We want to make sure that it is got right.

01:22:12.000 We've got to get it right.

01:22:13.000 Like other world-leading legislation, we've got to get it right.

01:22:16.000 We've got to get it right when we ban X from the world, actually.

01:22:20.000 Why stop it, Australia?

01:22:21.000 We should be banning you from moving around right now.

01:22:24.000 It is got right.

01:22:26.000 We've got to get it right.

01:22:27.000 It is got right.

01:22:29.000 The East Safety Commissioner will issue regulatory guidance setting out what reasonable steps can be taken by platforms, and that will be informed by the Age Assurance Trial.

01:22:39.000 Okay, well, can you trust Australia?

01:22:42.000 Do your governments have your best interests in heart?

01:22:45.000 Or are they, in fact, the servant of interests that are very difficult to access through the ballot box?

01:22:51.000 We're going to be making some changes, it seems, around here.

01:22:56.000 and we, though, will be back tomorrow for another fantastic live-streamed show.

01:23:01.000 If you're an Awakened Wonder, that means if you're a member of our locals community, you will be able to join us in a matter of moments for a conversation with Eric Metaxas, who's like a friend of mine told me about him.

01:23:11.000 He's a brilliant theologian and writer who is talking about how there is a sort of a resurgent Christianity and new alliances appearing within the Christian field.

01:23:19.000 So, Janice6, blessed old bird and sensitive hearts, see you in a minute.

01:23:22.000 Superbrain, PacoPPNW, Eaton Clams, Roxanne, all you people that are interested in how Christianity is going to change the world and talking about how it's going to stay within the lines and how it's going to explore new territories, join us for that. 0.58

01:23:36.000 We'll be back tomorrow, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.

01:23:39.000 Until then, if you can, stay free.

01:23:41.000 Many switching, switch on, switch on.

01:23:44.000 Many switching, switch on, switch on.
