00:00:07.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brand action conspiracy theorist trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
00:00:17.000 Hello there, you awakening wonders.
00:00:18.000 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:00:21.000 It's Monday, no one can deny that.
00:00:24.000 And the same challenges and themes that we've always been dealing with, we deal with yet. 0.83
00:00:28.000 A corrupt and hypocritical world devoid of resources to change things.
00:00:33.000 We've got to do something though. 0.95
00:00:34.000 We've got to do something.
00:00:35.000 Do you remember when I sang that?
00:00:36.000 You may not have done because it was a sort of in a sense a B-side for a fictional character.
00:00:40.000 But here's a look at it now.
00:00:48.000 Lately, Mother Earth has been feeling unsatisfied.
00:00:54.000 I'd say it's playing from the rain.
00:00:56.000 The sweet lady has started to cry. 0.81
00:01:00.000 Fires crackle and blaze in the rays of her burning heart.
00:01:04.000 And I don't think it's smart to lay away for the day that she dies in our arms.
00:01:12.000 We gotta do something.
00:01:15.000 We gotta do something.
00:01:18.000 Before Mother Earth gets any more hurt, we gotta do something.
00:01:26.000 Dave joins us in the studio.
00:01:27.000 Dave, you okay?
00:01:28.000 I'm doing good.
00:01:29.000 Good, good.
00:01:30.000 I'm glad.
00:01:30.000 Yeah, I feel pretty good actually.
00:01:31.000 I've just been finishing this book.
00:01:33.000 Writing, not reading.
00:01:34.000 I'm one of the few people that's actually written more books than I've read.
00:01:37.000 That's from this thing called Garth Marenge, like a British comedy show.
00:01:41.000 And he's like, pleased when he says that.
00:01:43.000 Like, that's a good thing to have written more books than you've read.
00:01:46.000 That's a terrible thing to say.
00:01:47.000 Jake Smith's with us.
00:01:49.000 You're right, Jake.
00:01:50.000 Oh, yeah.
00:01:50.000 You feel okay, peaceful?
00:01:52.000 What's the matter?
00:01:52.000 You feel like you might be getting ill?
00:01:54.000 I think I got it. 1.00
00:01:55.000 Yeah, my wife's shit. 1.00
00:01:56.000 And I'm going to England or I've been to England, depending on what day this is. 1.00
00:02:00.000 And I don't, it's not convenient for my wife to be ill.
00:02:02.000 Nikki, I really think that my wife should get an IV, but you know, she's reluctant to get an IV. 0.66
00:02:09.000 And because I'm a person who always, even in marriage, insists on consent, I wouldn't impose that IV on her.
00:02:14.000 So what should we do?
00:02:15.000 Patches.
00:02:16.000 I'll give her some wood. 1.00
00:02:17.000 I got that's what it has a sticker.
00:02:20.000 A sticker?
00:02:21.000 Yeah, this patch.
00:02:22.000 The sticker is not going to do anything.
00:02:24.000 I don't know what it does.
00:02:25.000 No one knows.
00:02:26.000 I own by 300 to 400%.
00:02:28.000 Sounds.
00:02:28.000 Give me one.
00:02:29.000 I'll take one.
00:02:30.000 If it's a sticker, I mean, what have you got to lose?
00:02:32.000 I'll smother my whole body in them.
00:02:34.000 I'll be covered in them.
00:02:35.000 It seems to be that it has different lives.
00:02:39.000 No, like the sickness.
00:02:40.000 Like.
00:02:41.000 What do you think about it?
00:02:42.000 Bella got it.
00:02:44.000 Allie got it.
00:02:45.000 They're still on the edge.
00:02:47.000 Yeah.
00:02:47.000 And then they're still like Bella threw up today.
00:02:51.000 So that's new.
00:02:51.000 Bella's second youngest child, yeah.
00:02:53.000 And then I've had these crazy headaches.
00:02:56.000 Monday, Tuesday.
00:02:58.000 Now I'm feeling I haven't got the eggs.
00:03:00.000 My wife's been getting them headaches ever since I married her actually. 1.00
00:03:04.000 Is it a coincidence?
00:03:05.000 Who's to say?
00:03:07.000 Thank you for that, Nurse Nikki.
00:03:08.000 I think she should have a, what do you call it, a Myers cocktail? 1.00
00:03:11.000 Why people always on about things I don't understand?
00:03:13.000 Here, what's your Ennagram?
00:03:15.000 Want a Myers-Briggs test?
00:03:17.000 What's everyone on about?
00:03:19.000 What is everyone on about?
00:03:22.000 What are you all on about?
00:03:24.000 Let me know in the comments and chat what you're on about.
00:03:25.000 Join us on Rumble if you're watching us anywhere other than Rumble and get Rumble Premium.
00:03:30.000 Hey, if you're a big Rumble fan, is post-government Bongino somehow tainted?
00:03:35.000 I love Bongino.
00:03:36.000 I loved him before.
00:03:37.000 I love him during.
00:03:37.000 I love him after.
00:03:38.000 But I get the idea that some people don't like that Bongino was in the government and then left the government.
00:03:41.000 Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about the Bongino army.
00:03:44.000 Did it compromise them?
00:03:45.000 What do you think about any great hero and noble voice once they go into politics?
00:03:50.000 Secretary Kennedy there.
00:03:51.000 Has he been stifled by government?
00:03:53.000 And I love Bobby Kennedy.
00:03:55.000 Is it possible that anyone who goes into the belly of that foul beast will be tainted and contaminated by it because of all the compromises they have to make and all the people they have to negotiate with and you realize what it's like once you're in there?
00:04:05.000 Like the sword of Damocles is the idea.
00:04:07.000 The sword of Damocles.
00:04:08.000 You know about the sword of Damocles, Jake?
00:04:10.000 Sword of Damocles.
00:04:11.000 Yep, sword of Damocles.
00:04:13.000 You know about the sword of Damocles, Joe?
00:04:15.000 I don't.
00:04:15.000 Tell me all about it.
00:04:17.000 I'm going to tell you about it.
00:04:18.000 Tell you about it now.
00:04:19.000 What about you, Massey?
00:04:20.000 Do you know about it?
00:04:20.000 Do they have that in Iran?
00:04:22.000 They had it on The Simpsons.
00:04:24.000 Mr. Burns said it about Homer when he gave him his job back, remember?
00:04:28.000 Excellent.
00:04:29.000 It'll be like the sword of Damocles.
00:04:31.000 I mean, I don't know the episode, but I'll just quickly, in case people don't know what the sword of Damocles is, the sword of Damocles is a king or adjudicator who has to make decisions sitting underneath a kind of portcullis or atrium and above his head, unseen by the people he communicates with, hangs a sword.
00:04:49.000 They don't know that sword's hanging above his head.
00:04:51.000 Only he can see it.
00:04:53.000 But if ever he messes up or makes an error, the sword hangs by a fine thread and I do know that.
00:04:58.000 I do know the name.
00:04:59.000 That's the sword of Damocles.
00:05:00.000 That's awesome.
00:05:01.000 Do you know about the accordion not?
00:05:03.000 Yeah, everyone knows it now.
00:05:04.000 I've just said it on the internet.
00:05:06.000 I've said it on the internet.
00:05:07.000 Anyway, so my point about the sword of Damocles was that once you're in a position of power, you're subjected to and exposed to levels of control, authority and power you didn't know about at all until that point.
00:05:16.000 That is why, to meaningfully change the world, you have to change the systems itself, the system itself.
00:05:22.000 Why are we pretending we live in a world where digital democracy is not an option?
00:05:27.000 Where we couldn't use the same technology they're using, facial recognition technology, digital ID, or technologies of that type, to have direct participatory democracy.
00:05:38.000 For example, if you were talking about the mayor of London, if you want ULES cameras, vote and have ULES cameras.
00:05:44.000 If you want to lose ULES cameras, those are those cameras that film cars as they're coming into London and people get a surcharge or additional charge.
00:05:51.000 This amounts to a car tax really on the auspices of protecting climate change.
00:05:55.000 You know how the deal works by now.
00:05:57.000 You'd have to say, if you're going to get rid of the ULES cameras, you will have to generate the £220 million per annum that the ULES cameras generate.
00:06:05.000 You could get that through unique levies for planning permission, for construction.
00:06:08.000 There's a whole variety of ways of doing it.
00:06:10.000 The point is this.
00:06:12.000 The reason Mam Dani is mayor of New York right now is because people are sick and tired of the system. 1.00
00:06:18.000 The people of New York would have seen Donald Trump get elected, a populist, a popular leader who's clearly in a bunch of pathological ways, I'd say, outside of the system.
00:06:29.000 And nevertheless, here they still are, the Epstein files, the wars, the, you know, Pfizer's still powerful, big oligarchical tech figures are still powerful.
00:06:38.000 And you don't want that anymore, do you?
00:06:39.000 None of us do.
00:06:40.000 That's the Bongino effect.
00:06:42.000 Bongino went out, he went into the system, he was subject to the sword of Damocles, as is Bobby Kennedy, anyone who goes into that situation.
00:06:48.000 And they deal with compromises that we on our side can't see.
00:06:51.000 Well, that's not their fault then, and by definition, it means the system itself is incapable of delivering the change that is required.
00:06:57.000 In fact, any system that could deliver change wouldn't be the system the people that are powerful would want because that system would not preserve their power and that is their absolute priority.
00:07:07.000 You understand the Kissinger report, don't you?
00:07:09.000 You know what the Kissinger report was.
00:07:10.000 In the Kissinger report, Henry Kissinger, the famous diplomat and aide to various presidents of your great nation, revealed that there were countries, among them Puerto Rico and the Philippines, that had to reduce their populations insomuch that those territories were regarded as potential resources for America down the line.
00:07:31.000 You can read this now.
00:07:31.000 Put the Kissinger report in Google.
00:07:33.000 Read it now.
00:07:33.000 Read it.
00:07:35.000 The idea being that America needs the resources of Puerto Rico or the Philippines and doesn't want their population to grow at an aggressive rate because then they'd need their, inverted commas, their own resources for themselves.
00:07:47.000 What strikes me as remarkable about that is it indicates immediately to you that projects take place that go beyond the term limits of any individual, even double term, president.
00:07:57.000 Any four-year term or any eight-year term is superseded by the revelations of something like the Kissinger Report or Manifest Destiny more broadly or the great American project that led to the Iraqi, Afghanistan, Iranian wars and the North Korea conflict.
00:08:13.000 What I'm telling you plainly is something you already know, that real power is not in the Republican administration or the Democratic administration, but in the systems itself.
00:08:23.000 That's before we leap into the mad, bizarre occultism revealed by the Epstein files.
00:08:27.000 It's just generally and plainly obvious.
00:08:30.000 If you want to change those systems, you can't do it through the channels and conduits of those systems.
00:08:37.000 You even need to have armed revolutions and organized resistance at the level of militia.
00:08:44.000 That's not possible in a country like the United Kingdom or the United States where you've got serious, proper professional armies.
00:08:50.000 So you have to organize in a way that uses technology and communication to bypass, disrupt and unsettle their power.
00:08:57.000 This is possible, it's sort of in some ways inevitable, and we are at the beginning of the fight for how information is used to manage power.
00:09:07.000 My argument to you is this.
00:09:09.000 Do you believe that the pandemic was possibly always about population control always along, as revealed in the Kissinger Report?
00:09:15.000 Do you recognize that there's a trend, technologies and ideas that are piloted abroad by colonial and imperial powers, whether it's in Iraq or Afghanistan by the British and Americans, whether it's the 77th Brigade, a PSYOPS unit, this is real, you can look at this, run by Mark Lancaster, husband of Caroline Dinich, that was set up to deal with problems in the Middle East, but then was ultimately in COVID used to control domestic information problems, what they call misinformation.
00:09:39.000 If these problems are beyond the remit and reach of government, if government are just engaged in the brokerage of handling populations on behalf of real power, then we, the people that are being controlled by them, have to unite in new ways and propose ourselves new systems of government.
00:09:57.000 And here's one I'm proposing.
00:09:59.000 Direct democracy.
00:10:00.000 Using the technology that means that everything from X to Grok to polymarket to Chat GPT can operate to aggregate our electoral will to have true mandates.
00:10:12.000 If you want to have a state where there's abortion, have a state where there's abortion. 1.00
00:10:16.000 If you don't, don't.
00:10:17.000 If you want taxes, have taxes.
00:10:19.000 If you want low, high, whatever it is you want, direct democracy always must be the principle.
00:10:25.000 Participation, not mandated, but possible and optional using these very devices and unique codes that show that you are a registered voter in that community.
00:10:33.000 This could happen everywhere overnight and we have to start pushing for it.
00:10:36.000 It doesn't matter if it's me that does it or you that does it because it's the idea that's important, not the thing itself.
00:10:42.000 You want ideas and principles that withstand the test of time.
00:10:45.000 Jesus Christ is access to eternity.
00:10:48.000 He sees and offers eternity in the present moment.
00:10:52.000 Through principles like love and kindness and service, you are no longer engaged in the temporal.
00:10:57.000 But what if I lose everything?
00:10:59.000 Oh, what if I get a headache?
00:11:00.000 What if my trousers fall down?
00:11:02.000 These are all just the problems of the day at scale, en masse, reiterated and repeated endlessly.
00:11:09.000 Access eternity, use democracy diligently, use the available technology to change the world.
00:11:14.000 That's just what I think though.
00:11:15.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:11:17.000 Could such a thing be possible?
00:11:19.000 Stay tuned for announcements.
00:11:20.000 Stay tuned to participate in a global holy endeavor.
00:11:24.000 Remember, you can watch all of our content here on Rumble.
00:11:26.000 And if you get Rumble Premium, you get even more of the stuff.
00:11:29.000 And if you want to move at this pace daily, try Methylene Blue Baby because it certainly lubes up my neurological pathways.
00:11:36.000 Soon I will be appearing at this very place, Florida, Panhandle, Santa Rosa Beach, telling the story of how I came to Christ Jesus.
00:11:43.000 Come there, meet me.
00:11:45.000 And if you want to, try your level best.
00:11:48.000 No, I'm not going to urge people.
00:11:49.000 We're not doing that anymore.
00:11:50.000 We're not doing that anymore.
00:11:52.000 I'm telling you now, there are like I was amazed when I saw that armed sheriff there and special forces operatives.
00:11:58.000 I've never felt more special in all my life.
00:12:01.000 I've never felt more important and special in all my born days.
00:12:05.000 It was certainly an enjoyable experience.
00:12:07.000 In fact, why take my word for it?
00:12:09.000 Here's a moment of it now.
00:12:11.000 Anyone have some little questions, whatever, because I'm pretty boo. 0.99
00:12:16.000 Oh, shit. 1.00
00:12:19.000 I heard both the I do and I heard the, oh shit. 1.00
00:12:24.000 So now firstly, I want to give the microphone to the gentleman first of all. 0.99
00:12:28.000 Not in a sexist way, but just to provide context.
00:12:31.000 Thank you, Jake.
00:12:33.000 Really, you should not give it.
00:12:34.000 I'll hold the mic.
00:12:36.000 Do not listen to him.
00:12:37.000 Wow, I can see she's in charge of him.
00:12:39.000 She's in charge of him. 0.93
00:12:41.000 She's in butching you. 1.00
00:12:43.000 Oh! 0.86
00:12:45.000 Sorry.
00:12:46.000 Listen, right, Lee, we're in a happy marriage.
00:12:48.000 Their head neck, all that.
00:12:50.000 All right.
00:12:52.000 My question to you is, you never said the day that you fell Christ.
00:12:56.000 Jane asked a very sensible question that probably is, pardon ma'am?
00:13:00.000 The Jays are in charge.
00:13:02.000 The Jays are in charge.
00:13:04.000 But there's only one Jay we can truly trust.
00:13:09.000 Be that bad, bunny.
00:13:13.000 In the middle of them hedges.
00:13:17.000 Lurking in the privets.
00:13:20.000 There you go.
00:13:21.000 Come see me.
00:13:22.000 There's a link in the description.
00:13:24.000 It's, you know, it's on in Florida somewhere. 1.00
00:13:26.000 Okay, you absolute mad, beautiful, gorgeous lunatics. 0.99
00:13:30.000 It's time now for us to discuss. 1.00
00:13:32.000 Well, there's two things.
00:13:34.000 One is a documentary where his name is Harrison H. Smith.
00:13:40.000 It explains how, in his view, Israeli special interests and financial interests control American politics.
00:13:48.000 That's one.
00:13:49.000 Dave, you keen to discuss that and then walk around the streets?
00:13:53.000 Walk around free?
00:13:55.000 I want to discuss how Harrison H. Smith believes that Israeli political interests control...
00:13:55.000 What about you, Jake?
00:14:01.000 I mean, he's had a lot of views on X. In fact, I noticed one of the things he complained about.
00:14:04.000 Let me know how you feel about this if you're a content creator yourself, is that he didn't generate very much revenue from it.
00:14:09.000 Let's have a little look at it because there's that.
00:14:10.000 And then there's Mickey Willis's excellent film about what's called Free Joby, about the dude that set up Bitcoin.
00:14:19.000 Not south Bitcoin, was an early adopter to Bitcoin, then got put under house arrest for a bunch of real dodgy stuff.
00:14:25.000 And he's still under house arrest right now when simply the crime was, the crime I think was people going, wait a minute, this guy's worked out Bitcoin too quickly.
00:14:34.000 No, hold on, no, hold on.
00:14:35.000 If everyone starts using cryptocurrencies, we're in a lodge hole. 1.00
00:14:38.000 Shit, start arresting people. 1.00
00:14:40.000 Start arresting people. 1.00
00:14:41.000 We'll work out what they did wrong later.
00:14:43.000 Just start putting people under house arrest.
00:14:43.000 We'll work it out later.
00:14:46.000 And I think this Joby dude is one of the first people that happened to.
00:14:48.000 Either way, we're going to be watching both of these bits of content over the next couple of shows.
00:14:53.000 Let's have a quick look so that you can party.
00:14:55.000 Well, you won't be able to comment in chat because actually this is pre-taped.
00:14:58.000 But, you know, join in anyway, because let's face it, even if this was life, we'd probably ignore you.
00:15:04.000 So, no, no, no, no, but I mean, in a way, like, does the government pay any attention to you?
00:15:08.000 I'm going to go there and I'm going to vote.
00:15:11.000 There you go.
00:15:12.000 I'll just put my X on there. 0.99
00:15:14.000 That's my sick nigga wiggle chair. 0.98
00:15:17.000 There it is. 1.00
00:15:18.000 There's my sick nigga wiggy wiggy wigcher. 1.00
00:15:20.000 Now then, carry on doing what you were going to do anyway. 0.99
00:15:23.000 But I'll tell you, I better see someone wearing a different colored tie.
00:15:27.000 Someone going to wear a different colored tie?
00:15:29.000 Nah, that's democracy.
00:15:31.000 Yes, that's sweet.
00:15:32.000 Democracy.
00:15:33.000 That tie color's changed good and true.
00:15:36.000 Let's have a quick look at firstly Harrison H. Smith's documentary, where I think he's sort of talking about AIPAC and various lobbying interests and their control over American politics.
00:15:47.000 Have a quick look at this.
00:15:48.000 I think there is another revolution coming.
00:15:50.000 I tend to steer it along with the achievement of a broader peace.
00:15:55.000 When history is within reach.
00:15:59.000 So what Israel is fighting here is not merely a seven-front war, but an eight-front war.
00:16:04.000 For the Jews against Rome. 1.00
00:16:08.000 Rome and Jerusalem clashed over values with a great tragedy for the Jewish people.
00:16:15.000 So we lost that one and we have to win the next war.
00:16:17.000 But the new Rome, the United States, the Jews against Rome. 1.00
00:16:22.000 We stopped playing defense and have moved to offense.
00:16:27.000 The weapons change over time.
00:16:29.000 You can't fight today with swords.
00:16:31.000 That doesn't work very well.
00:16:32.000 But we need the kind of genius that manufactured Apollo gold pagers and infiltrated Hezbollah for over a decade to prepare for this battle. 0.97
00:16:40.000 But we have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields within which we're engaged.
00:16:46.000 And the most important ones are the social media.
00:16:48.000 Because the next war will be decided based on how Israel and its allies perform online as much as offline. 0.85
00:16:57.000 This is the eighth front, the disinformation campaign.
00:17:00.000 It is actually this eighth front where our enemies believe they can actually defeat the Jewish state. 0.80
00:17:06.000 This is the kind of ingenuity and inventiveness that have always been a hallmark of the state of Israel, that have always been a characteristic of the Jewish people.
00:17:15.000 I know we can do it.
00:17:17.000 A lot of this is done with money.
00:17:19.000 Invested billions and billions of dollars in the information battlefield.
00:17:23.000 The money of NGOs, faster.
00:17:25.000 The money of governments, faster.
00:17:28.000 We prohibit harmful stereotypes about Jewish people, such as claims that Jews control financial, political, or media institutions.
00:17:36.000 You're damn right, we're going to cancel them and deplatform them.
00:17:39.000 We monitor them online, social media, messaging apps, video games, cryptocurrency. 0.97
00:17:44.000 Hitler admires, Stalin admires, Jew haters.
00:17:48.000 Podcasts, short form video, Wikipedia, LLM.
00:17:52.000 American haters, Churchill haters.
00:17:54.000 We monitor these people and we share the intelligence with the FBI. 1.00
00:17:57.000 You think your stupid little podcast is going to change the world like hell it is? 1.00
00:18:02.000 Social media, this is the new battlefield. 1.00
00:18:05.000 You don't get to wrap your psychotic, mental, unhinged, Nazi. 0.99
00:18:10.000 We do not allow Holocaust denial and distortion. 1.00
00:18:13.000 There you go, lots to think about there in that.
00:18:15.000 So there's that one.
00:18:16.000 We could watch that.
00:18:17.000 as israel and whether or not israel massey what do you think about that Look at Massey grinning, all happy.
00:18:22.000 What do you think?
00:18:23.000 Anything which is super controversial that people are going to get upset about, which you're not allowed to talk about, I'm up for talking about.
00:18:30.000 I'm happy to watch that.
00:18:31.000 I love it. 1.00
00:18:32.000 I shy away from any shit. 1.00
00:18:32.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:18:34.000 If an entire group of people can get upset by something anybody says, I'm all for it because I don't think you should be able to paint a big button on your back like that and then be angry when other people press it.
00:18:44.000 What are they saying?
00:18:45.000 What was that?
00:18:47.000 They're saying that there's an eight-front, an information war that Israel are fighting to ensure that increasingly they limit the ability to speak freely about Israel's actions, in particular in Gaza and Israel's potential lobbying and financial interests in US politics.
00:19:06.000 So the kind of stuff I suppose that you've seen Tucker Carlson talk about and Candice talk about.
00:19:11.000 But I guess it's a combination of the political power here in the United States and political influence here in the United States and the means by which that might be practiced, coupled, I suppose, you know, from looking at the images with the desecration in Gaza and death in that region.
00:19:29.000 And whether or not Israel and Israeli interests are able to limit, prohibit and censor conversation around those subjects for a variety of means.
00:19:40.000 I guess that's what Harrison H. Smith is discussing, it looks like.
00:19:45.000 Does it seem that controversial?
00:19:47.000 I suppose not.
00:19:49.000 I guess the only counter argument is does everyone do stuff like that?
00:19:52.000 I mean, look, what people say is that, well, you know, Israel's just another country just doing things that countries do.
00:20:00.000 You know, didn't America conquer all of this land from the native folks? 0.99
00:20:04.000 Didn't the like settle up colonies is what they call it.
00:20:09.000 And of course, the Israeli claim is there's a historic and indeed religious connection between their people and that land ordained by God.
00:20:16.000 And what I suppose the contemporary challenge is to be able to say, well, if you believe in God and you believe in God's word, do you believe that land is specifically given to the Jewish people by God?
00:20:28.000 Which is certainly a claim that's made in the Pentateuch.
00:20:32.000 And if you do believe that, do you believe that the current Israeli government are the kind of carriers and vessel of that ideology?
00:20:42.000 Is Israel a secular country, or is Israel by definition a religious country?
00:20:47.000 The same as I guess what Saudi Arabia or Muslim countries?
00:20:50.000 I suppose, you know, we in the West, the United Kingdom, United States, are we're meant to be secular countries that we've decoupled our religious ideology from our political ideology.
00:20:59.000 In a sense, it's impossible because all ideologies are ultimately religious ideologies.
00:21:04.000 Discuss.
00:21:05.000 Anyway, so I guess what it comes down to with Israel is: are you able to talk about Israel the same way that I would talk about any country?
00:21:12.000 The government are corrupt, the government don't truly represent the people of that nation.
00:21:16.000 The government have their own interests.
00:21:18.000 The government are likely connected to a bunch of international agencies and institutions that manage power.
00:21:28.000 I think you should be able to make that claim and then afterwards go, I was talking about Qatar, I was talking about France, I was talking about America, I was talking about England.
00:21:34.000 I guess because of what's been happening in Gaza, people are right now making unique claims about Israel.
00:21:39.000 And then people that sort of do this job for a living, like I, you know, defend Israel, like Ben Shapiro say, would go, well, you know, they started it, or some version of they started it, and then we're in it.
00:21:50.000 Now we're in it now.
00:21:51.000 We're in that conversation.
00:21:52.000 And it's a conversation that never, ever, ever ends.
00:21:56.000 And I think from a Christian perspective, it will only end when the Jewish people convert to Christianity and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, and that the branch is grafted back onto the tree. 0.91
00:22:08.000 I think is how it's described in here.
00:22:09.000 And I'm a Christian, so I believe what's in there.
00:22:12.000 You had some good conversations about those topics with Dinesh D'Souza.
00:22:18.000 Yes, we did, didn't we?
00:22:19.000 In fact, have a look at that.
00:22:21.000 Yeah, have a look at this conversation with Dinesh D'Souza.
00:22:26.000 I do often consider the way that our Lord addresses his chosen people throughout the books of the Old Testament.
00:22:35.000 And it seems to me that he's pretty overall peeved, miffed, irked by the conduct of the Israelites. 0.95
00:22:44.000 And I wonder how one might interpret Yahweh's relationship with his chosen people, his disappointment, even with like, you know, the Nazarene Samson there, like how we might look at God's relationship with his chosen people and how we might be able to perhaps find common ground in this endless and detestable conflagration in that region, which seems to do nothing but divide. 0.52
00:23:14.000 And yet, somehow, don't we have to participate in finding a solution, a conclusion, a truce, a peace?
00:23:23.000 We absolutely do.
00:23:25.000 Let's begin with God, God's relationship with the Israelites.
00:23:30.000 And you also refer to the way that Jesus, for example, looks at the Jewish environment of his own time.
00:23:37.000 And you'd have to say that the relationship is troubled is perhaps putting it mildly.
00:23:42.000 It is acerbic, confrontational, at times denunciatory.
00:23:47.000 On both sides, by the way, the Israelites abandoned God. 0.72
00:23:50.000 They started worshiping the idols.
00:23:52.000 And it happens again and again and again.
00:23:55.000 I have to say, as someone who is a student of different cultures, you know, Russell, in just about every other culture and religious tradition, the religious and sacred books are very triumphalist.
00:24:08.000 You know, the heroes are great.
00:24:10.000 They never do anything wrong.
00:24:11.000 All the bad stuff is suppressed.
00:24:13.000 The Bible is so unusual in the sense that if you remove God from it, you would think that anti-Semites wrote it, right?
00:24:21.000 By that, I mean that the heroes of the Bible are almost all of them highly suspect characters.
00:24:27.000 Abraham is passing off his wife as his sister.
00:24:31.000 You know, David is engaged not just in adultery, but in effect murder by sending Bathsheba's husband to the front line. 0.51
00:24:39.000 So these are hardly, on the face of it, admirable figures.
00:24:43.000 Jesus could not have been more tempestuous about the religious authorities of his day.
00:24:49.000 And yet, I think the strange thing about the Bible is that you get the sense that the covenant is held together not on the human side so much as on the divine side.
00:25:00.000 That God is always saying, and yet I'm not giving up.
00:25:03.000 And, you know, I want to destroy the earth, but and yet I'm going to get Noah into the boat.
00:25:08.000 You know, I'm going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, but hey, the Israelites, you're still my people. 1.00
00:25:14.000 So you've got this very strange, fraught, antagonistic relationship.
00:25:20.000 And it has to be interpreted both on the spiritual side and on the, you could call it the earthly side.
00:25:29.000 Okay, so let's know what you think.
00:25:30.000 What should we do about Israel? 0.63
00:25:33.000 What should we do about it?
00:25:34.000 Who should we do about the conflict in the Middle East?
00:25:36.000 Let me know in the comments and chat.
00:25:38.000 Would you really be so kind as to let me know in the comments and chat?
00:25:41.000 I don't mind either way.
00:25:42.000 Set myself.
00:25:43.000 I don't really mind.
00:25:44.000 I'm a bit non-plussed.
00:25:44.000 I'm not fussed.
00:25:46.000 I'm going to just approach it like my own nan would.
00:25:48.000 Oh, well.
00:25:49.000 Although, actually, thinking about it, she was a bit racist, so she's probably not the best example.
00:25:53.000 Okay, let's have a look at the old Free Joby documentary.
00:25:57.000 I don't know much about this thing.
00:25:59.000 Actually, before we do that, why don't you enjoy yourself by looking at Larry King?
00:26:02.000 Gareth sent me this from the UK, Gareth, who we worked with a lot on this show over the years.
00:26:09.000 Have a look at Norm MacDonald on Larry King.
00:26:11.000 This is for me pure comedy.
00:26:12.000 Can you guys hear it?
00:26:13.000 Can you hear it?
00:26:13.000 You can't hear the clips, darling.
00:26:14.000 The reason I love Norm McDonald here is Norm McDonald, like all great comedians, is observing comedy above and beyond all else.
00:26:20.000 And it's really lovely to see this interaction with Larry King because Larry King's in a position where he sort of has to be congenially serious is how I describe it.
00:26:28.000 It's a very lovely moment.
00:26:29.000 Check it out.
00:26:30.000 What's something people don't know about you? 0.82
00:26:32.000 I'm a deeply closeted gay guy. 0.95
00:26:37.000 No kidding.
00:26:37.000 Well, I'm not coming out though.
00:26:40.000 Wait a minute.
00:26:41.000 What are you revealing here today?
00:26:43.000 I'm not revealing anything.
00:26:44.000 I'm saying I'm deeply closeted. 0.99
00:26:48.000 Well, that means you're gay. 0.99
00:26:50.000 I wouldn't say that. 0.81
00:26:51.000 Why would I say that?
00:26:52.000 I'm deeply closeted. 0.99
00:26:55.000 That means you're very, very gay, but you don't want to come out. 1.00
00:26:59.000 You're so closeted that I refuse to say I'm gay. 0.99
00:27:03.000 Exactly. 0.97
00:27:03.000 Right. 0.97
00:27:04.000 But that, doesn't that mean you're gay? 0.98
00:27:07.000 Hey, hey, hey, easy, buddy. 0.97
00:27:14.000 That's good.
00:27:15.000 Hey, hey, easy, buddy.
00:27:18.000 You got Larry King in it with him. 0.82
00:27:20.000 That's when it's really lovely, is when someone else has to get into the boat with Norm McDonald, that twinkle-eyed comic genius lunatic that he was. 0.85
00:27:28.000 Oh, God rest his eternal soul. 0.66
00:27:30.000 That's fantastic.
00:27:34.000 Oh, no!
00:27:35.000 Tax!
00:27:36.000 I don't want to give you no tax. 1.00
00:27:37.000 You filthy wretched government. 1.00
00:27:39.000 You have to. 1.00
00:27:40.000 Otherwise, we'll put you in jail.
00:27:42.000 We'll find a reason.
00:27:43.000 Do you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns?
00:27:46.000 Or have you filed every year but still keep owing?
00:27:48.000 Isn't it annoying?
00:27:49.000 It's not fair, is it?
00:27:50.000 It's simply not fair.
00:27:51.000 We need a revolution.
00:27:52.000 Till then, though, did you retire and suddenly get hit with a tax bill you didn't expect? 0.98
00:27:57.000 Near the anus. 0.93
00:27:58.000 Are you a business owner with messy books and a balance you can't afford? 0.99
00:28:02.000 Near the anus. 0.60
00:28:04.000 Maybe you pulled money from your 401k or IRA early and now the IRS want their share. 0.98
00:28:10.000 I'm sick of them guys.
00:28:12.000 However your tax is you started, the outcome is the same.
00:28:15.000 Fear, fretfulness, anxiety, impending gloom, a cloud following around like pigpen.
00:28:20.000 Remember him?
00:28:21.000 Your balance is not going down.
00:28:24.000 Penalties grow, interest compounds, and many of you are about to owe again for this upcoming tax year with no plan in place.
00:28:30.000 That's how they want it.
00:28:31.000 They tyrannize you like that.
00:28:32.000 Remember, they print money and all that kind of stuff, don't they?
00:28:34.000 They're out of control, man.
00:28:35.000 Stop what you're doing and call Tax Network USA.
00:28:38.000 Stop what you're doing.

00:30:33.000 It's called, it's hard to remember things.
00:30:35.000 It's like after his grandma's name and it's like Rosita's secret.
00:30:38.000 It's called something like that.
00:30:39.000 I don't want to sound like an underwear brand, but it's something like Rosita's secret.
00:30:43.000 I can't remember.
00:30:45.000 You're better friends with him than I am.
00:30:46.000 What's something people don't know about?
00:30:48.000 No, not you again, Larry.
00:30:49.000 Although I do love you.
00:30:50.000 Want a cuddle?
00:30:52.000 He always loves a cuddle.
00:30:53.000 Yes.
00:30:54.000 You know, the Jewish people not only hug each other, they dance together.
00:30:58.000 Jewish men dance together.
00:31:00.000 I mean, we're Christian.
00:31:01.000 I feel like here we start dancing, the men with the men.
00:31:05.000 Yeah, I know.
00:31:06.000 I went to Istanbul one time.
00:31:08.000 Men held hands there.
00:31:09.000 Yes, sir.
00:31:10.000 They're just buddies holding around.
00:31:11.000 They kiss each other on the cheek.
00:31:13.000 Shall we try it?
00:31:18.000 And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
00:31:24.000 I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
00:31:30.000 Men in these AA and NA programs for 40 years.
00:31:35.000 When you give them a hug, a true hug, they feel set free from this world.
00:31:39.000 Because I think all of us are going around a little bit feeling like we're in deficit, in debt, broken, unworthy, not good enough.
00:31:46.000 And a lot of like, I think a lot of the injuries come from other men.
00:31:49.000 Well, you see, God's right there.
00:31:52.000 Yeah.
00:31:52.000 I want to love God.
00:31:54.000 You remember John, who did baptize, you know, Mikvah?
00:31:58.000 He offered to the soldiers, you know, don't abuse people and to the priests, how it was that we are to if you have an extra cloak, give your coat and your food.
00:32:10.000 And walk an extra mile.
00:32:11.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:32:13.000 You know, Jesus did the same thing.
00:32:15.000 Yeah.
00:32:15.000 Same thing as John.
00:32:16.000 And John's considered like the greatest of souls that ever was until his time.
00:32:22.000 Well, that's nice, isn't it?
00:32:24.000 That's a lovely little exchange.
00:32:25.000 See me and him.
00:32:27.000 You've never kissed me like that.
00:32:31.000 I'm not sure I will.
00:32:32.000 That's not true.
00:32:33.000 Oh, why is he kissing you like that?
00:32:35.000 It's part of my game, man.
00:32:36.000 It's part of the game.
00:32:37.000 It's part of the game.
00:32:39.000 Hey, so then, um, fellow gays, there's um, right, have we worked out the problem of Israel yet? 0.82
00:32:43.000 I think we've just let us know in the comments.
00:32:45.000 What are we gonna do?
00:32:46.000 Is it gonna be okay?
00:32:47.000 Let's know what to do about the uh, the Israel there.
00:32:49.000 Have they got too much influence in American politics?
00:32:51.000 What are we gonna do about it?
00:32:52.000 I mean, what we'll say is, even in the good Old Testament, what I love towards the end of Genesis, dear Joseph, he gets quite a lot of clout in Pharaoh's administration.
00:33:00.000 He's running the thing, you know.
00:33:02.000 And what about Daniel?
00:33:03.000 He's doing very well.
00:33:05.000 You know, I'd say them good, honest Jewish prophets rising to prominence in foreign national governments.
00:33:10.000 And moves, I think it was helpful and it was okay.
00:33:12.000 As long as you're completely following God and God is good, and God is unity, and God is love, don't think it matters, does it?
00:33:19.000 Does it matter?
00:33:19.000 I don't know.
00:33:19.000 Let me know in the comments: what are we gonna do about it?
00:33:21.000 What are we gonna do, though?
00:33:23.000 Tricky old scenario we found ourselves in.
00:33:26.000 All right, um, okay, so we have a look at this thing then.
00:33:28.000 Um, hey, if you're watching us on YouTube, what do you think you're doing over there on YouTube? 1.00
00:33:33.000 Get over to Rumble, you sicko, you absolute sicko. 0.97
00:33:37.000 If you're watching this on TikTok, how if you've found this content? 0.99
00:33:40.000 Because I've been on TikTok and it so heavily promotes amazing-looking women, barely any clothes on. 1.00
00:33:46.000 I think you're doing remarkably well not to be watching that, frankly, if that's your thing.
00:33:50.000 And if you're watching it on X, you're right, it's depressing, isn't it?
00:33:55.000 And if you're watching on Facebook, hey, Granddad, I'm on the old time in Facebook.
00:34:00.000 I went down to that Facebook, I got myself down Facebook marketplace.
00:34:05.000 If you're watching it on, that's it, that's all the ones I know, Instagram.
00:34:09.000 It's for girls, innit? 0.99
00:34:10.000 I don't know, I don't understand all the platforms anymore.
00:34:13.000 Let's uh let's have a look at um, let's have a look at this uh bit of content here.
00:34:16.000 This is interesting because it's by a documentary maker, the dude who made Plandemic called uh Mickey Willis.
00:34:22.000 And in this, he talks about an early Bitcoin and crypto currency adopter who had the police inexplicably arrest him.
00:34:30.000 Very well-made film.
00:34:30.000 Let's have a little watch of it together and see if we can see evidence of government overreach and indeed the route out of the hell, the prison, the open jail that they're creating for us.
00:34:41.000 We've got to fight back, we've got to do something.
00:34:43.000 You got to do something, we got to something.
00:34:49.000 Distortion, and the most important purchase.
00:34:52.000 What are we going to do about Israel?
00:34:53.000 Actually, no, we'll do that tomorrow.
00:34:54.000 We'll do that next week.
00:34:55.000 We've got a boycott, Israel, and we've solved that. 1.00
00:34:57.000 I thought we already solved Israel. 0.98
00:34:59.000 Let's move on to Bitcoin.
00:35:00.000 Aloha, my name's Joby Weeks, and I've been stuck here on house arrest for six years.
00:35:06.000 And you're probably wondering why.
00:35:09.000 Me too.
00:35:13.000 Theobediah Weeks is accused of fraud in a cryptocurrency Ponte scheme, bilking three-quarters of a million dollars from victims, say investigators.
00:35:24.000 The men had been running a business called BitClub Network for the past five years, facing 25 years in prison for fraud and conspiracy charges.
00:35:34.000 I became an entrepreneur at a very young age.
00:35:38.000 I started my own business mowing lawns and shoveling snow and helped a friend with the paper route.
00:35:45.000 I'd go door knocking, selling magazine subscriptions.
00:35:50.000 Any little way I could figure out how to make money when I'm like 10.
00:35:53.000 Good afternoon, sir.
00:35:54.000 Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:35:56.000 Good.
00:35:56.000 Oh, hey, buddy.
00:35:57.000 Are your parents home?
00:35:59.000 So I was kind of brought up as a hustler, which I kind of had to be because being a Christian school teacher, my dad never made more than $20,000 a year, which isn't a lot for a family of four.
00:36:10.000 And that's how I got myself free.
00:36:13.000 At 19, I'm a millionaire.
00:36:14.000 I got a mansion on the lake, backyard to the beach, wakeboarding every day.
00:36:19.000 And I took off.
00:36:22.000 We are living in Las Vegas, hunter at Topsy, here we come.
00:36:28.000 Road trip in Mexico!
00:36:31.000 We're gonna race each other around the track.
00:36:38.000 I wanted to see the world.
00:36:38.000 So I went to 100 countries, 200 to 250 cities a year, every year for 15 years.
00:36:43.000 Stayed anywhere for more than a week or two in 15 years.
00:36:48.000 And so that's what I did.
00:36:49.000 And I started finding all these cool disruptive technologies that I thought, wow, that's a good invention.
00:36:54.000 This is great.
00:36:55.000 I want to finance that.
00:36:57.000 I brought a lot of technology back to the United States and launched companies and...
00:37:02.000 You don't need to own music to have music.
00:37:05.000 It's 1.5 million songs.
00:37:07.000 If you remember back in the day, there was Napster, but Napster got shut down because it was centralized.
00:37:13.000 So somebody invented this thing called the BitTorrent Network, where you could download five minutes of movie on this computer, five minutes on that computer, five minutes on this computer.
00:37:21.000 Yet I could get the entire movie, even though it wasn't in one location.
00:37:25.000 And so somebody said, hey, you've seen the BitTorrent network on how you can download music and movies.
00:37:30.000 Bitcoin is the currency that runs on the BitTorrent network.
00:37:34.000 I instantly got it.
00:37:35.000 Now the new currency is growing in popularity.
00:37:38.000 It's even been called the future.
00:37:39.000 Bitcoin, this mysterious digital currency.
00:37:43.000 We're asking whether or not this currency really has any longevity, let alone legitimacy.
00:37:48.000 I'm not an expert on cryptocurrency, but I have my doubts about it.
00:37:51.000 That's about it.
00:37:52.000 When Bitcoin was coming out, nobody really knew what a Bitcoin was, but we already had a mint minting gold and silver coins.
00:37:57.000 And so we thought, well, let's make a Bitcoin coin.
00:38:01.000 So we designed the logo and we put on the backside this private key so you could actually load a physical coin with crypto.
00:38:10.000 And somebody said to me, well, Bitcoin is a golden egg, or you can buy the goose that lays golden eggs.
00:38:15.000 And at the time, somebody had told me about this club called BitClub.
00:38:19.000 Network is one of the fastest growing business models worldwide.
00:38:22.000 Selling mining hardware, computer equipment, and I was like interesting, that's exactly what I want to be doing.
00:38:29.000 So I joined Bitclub.
00:38:30.000 As a member, you can get a literally a piece of every little transaction that takes place anywhere in the world.
00:38:36.000 It's really exciting to think about and I thought, if this works, this could be something huge.
00:38:41.000 If a laptop computer would make a dollar a day in bitcoin, then what would happen if we filled an entire data center with a million laptop computers?
00:38:50.000 We make a million dollars a day, right?
00:38:52.000 So that's what we decided to do.
00:38:55.000 We set up a data center in Iceland.
00:38:57.000 We got one in Georgia and one in Norway.
00:38:59.000 We got some power out of Canada.
00:39:00.000 We're building this one in Montana, which is going to be the largest Bitcoin mine in the world.
00:39:04.000 It's 300 megawatts.
00:39:05.000 It's monstrous.
00:39:07.000 When you have machines that print money, that gives you the freedom to travel.
00:39:11.000 Last year we did 152 countries.
00:39:14.000 And what do we do?
00:39:15.000 We talk about Bitcoin all the time, everywhere we go.
00:39:21.000 That's what I basically did.
00:39:22.000 I flew around doing these huge seminars and conferences and crypto events.
00:39:27.000 And unfortunately, became a target for hackers and thieves.
00:39:35.000 What's really ironic too is Joby was actually getting hacked by a nefarious character.
00:39:41.000 And Joby was the one who actually brought it to the FBI.
00:39:45.000 I tracked the Bitcoin to a wall with over a billion dollars in it.
00:39:48.000 And I give it to them on a silver platter of this dossier.
00:39:50.000 I'm like, here's the hacker.
00:39:51.000 And they're like, well, how do we say this?
00:39:54.000 There's an investigation going on on you.
00:39:56.000 And instead of going after the bad actor, they then flipped it and went after Joby instead.
00:40:01.000 So I fly to Washington, D.C. to the Ritz-Carlton to sit down with these agents.
00:40:05.000 They just asked about an hour's worth of questions about BitClub.
00:40:08.000 I showed them, yeah, these are what the data centers look like.
00:40:11.000 It's a private membership association.
00:40:13.000 They don't take dollars.
00:40:14.000 It's just Bitcoin in Bitcoin app.
00:40:16.000 They're selling mining hardware, computer equipment.
00:40:19.000 And so I think the investigation is over.
00:40:22.000 Six months goes by and I get a phone call and they're like, the government raided the data center and they took everything.
00:40:28.000 And I'm like, what?
00:40:29.000 So I call up the agents and I'm like, did you guys just raid the data center?
00:40:33.000 You guys have my phone number.
00:40:34.000 The agents are like, yeah, we have some more questions.
00:40:35.000 I'm like, do you guys want to meet me in West Palm Beach for this Tony Robbins conference?
00:40:39.000 I got extra tickets.
00:40:40.000 It was called Date with Destiny.
00:40:42.000 See, I feel like I'm like cooperating with them.
00:40:45.000 I reached out when I found out there was an investigation.
00:40:47.000 I was like, come on down to West Palm.
00:40:49.000 We'll do Tony Robbins together at lunchtime.
00:40:51.000 We can chat about your investigation into BitClub or whatever you guys want.
00:40:56.000 And so at the lunch break, I see him sitting there.
00:40:59.000 I'm like, okay, I got some smoothies.
00:41:01.000 I got tickets.
00:41:02.000 Here we go.
00:41:02.000 I sit down.
00:41:03.000 I'm like, hey, how's it going?
00:41:04.000 And all of a sudden, boom, I'm surrounded by agents on all sides of me.
00:41:13.000 And then they take me to this unmarked building and they're just interrogating me for six hours, trying to get me to give them all my Bitcoin.
00:41:21.000 So I know I can't give you all my crypto.
00:41:23.000 And so that got them a little bit irritated.
00:41:26.000 On December 5th, 2019, Mr. Weeks was indicted for selling unregistered securities and wire fraud.
00:41:35.000 They didn't actually say I sold unregistered securities.
00:41:38.000 They said I was thinking about it.
00:41:41.000 Because computer equipment isn't a security.
00:41:43.000 It's a physical product.
00:41:44.000 That's what I was selling as a vendor selling physical Bitcoin mining hardware.
00:41:47.000 It's not a security.
00:41:48.000 You can depreciate it.
00:41:50.000 The U.S. government seemed to just have branded BitClub as a Ponzi scheme.
00:41:55.000 And I can kind of sympathize because at that time, Bitcoin didn't make any sense to me either, quite frankly.
00:42:02.000 Most certainly, data mining operations to generate Bitcoin.
00:42:07.000 Like, this was really a new technology.
00:42:09.000 It was a new concept.
00:42:10.000 They said there was no Bitcoin mining.
00:42:13.000 And I'm like, no, here are the invoices.
00:42:15.000 Here's the tracking numbers.
00:42:16.000 Here's the quarter million dollars in duties and customs and tariffs I paid.
00:42:20.000 Here's the data center.
00:42:21.000 Here's the $10 million a month power bill.
00:42:23.000 Here's everybody getting paid.
00:42:25.000 This was not a fraudulent exercise.
00:42:27.000 They were actually generating millions of dollars and dispersing it to their club members.
00:42:33.000 BitClub was paying everybody out every single day until the day the government came and stole all the money.
00:42:40.000 So who created the victims?
00:42:43.000 There's people out there who say, hey, Joby Weeks hurt me financially.
00:42:46.000 Hey, this is pretty brilliant.
00:42:48.000 Not only am I understanding Bitcoin in a way that I never have done before because of the way that he explained the decentralized nature of that bit streaming movie torrent, and I've understood the sort of connection between Napster and cryptocurrencies.
00:43:03.000 And I've now it moves into an area that I do understand a bit.
00:43:06.000 The government simply didn't like Stroke understand something, so they criminalized it.
00:43:12.000 Even though he plainly has a total paper trail of no wrongdoing, all it really is is entrepreneurialism and ingenuity in it, Dave.
00:43:20.000 Yeah, I think so.
00:43:21.000 I mean, dude, he had all documentations, invoicing, and was paying out all the customers.
00:43:28.000 It's not a pyramid scheme if you're paying out all the customers exactly what they're earning in their Bitcoin.
00:43:33.000 What they were doing is just like leasing space in a data center that is mining Bitcoin.
00:43:38.000 And so, you know, however, he has this thing set up of, well, you know, the house gets 10% and you get 90% or whatever, and he pays it out.
00:43:47.000 Yeah, all he really is is ahead of the curve.
00:43:50.000 He understood things they didn't understand.
00:43:53.000 Or maybe perhaps that's being generous.
00:43:55.000 Perhaps they did understand what was going on.
00:43:58.000 And in the same way that as the brilliant Martin Guri, the CIA analyst and writer of Revolt of the Public said, they recognized at the CIA that the way that the technology was moving was going to mean massive disruption.
00:44:11.000 The way that Napster destroyed, decimated briefly, of course, the record industry, because now suddenly you don't need to pay for these products anymore.
00:44:19.000 And they had to find ways of making that look like a crime.
00:44:22.000 Get your favorite favorite artists to come out and say, hey, this is stealing.
00:44:26.000 I'm, you know, your favorite artist.
00:44:27.000 You wouldn't steal from me, would you?
00:44:29.000 Like, they've got to do whatever it takes. 1.00
00:44:30.000 Now, with this shit, it's currency. 0.99
00:44:33.000 It demonstrates and represents the possibility of direct peer-to-peer trading without the inclusion of centralized brokerage and ultimately negates their ability to literally print money, control the currency, and therefore control reality. 0.99
00:44:46.000 So, Bitcoin, in particular, and perhaps cryptocurrency more generally, is the technological solution to an extraordinary problem.
00:44:53.000 The problem that because money needs to be printed or minted or in some way or another physically created, fiat money does at least, because of that problem, you always have to have brokerage, and that brokerage is always corrupt.
00:45:05.000 It works the same exact way, actually, in representative democracy.
00:45:09.000 If you say, We need an individual to go to Parliament or to Congress to represent the views of this community, well, what happens if when they're leaving the little village on their horse on their way to Congress or Parliament to represent the views of the village, someone goes, Hey, could I have a word with you?
00:45:24.000 When you're talking Congress, would you bear in mind the interests of this company or this country?
00:45:30.000 And all of a sudden, your representative has been captured and co-opted.
00:45:34.000 The thing they fear most of all is direct peer-to-peer communication and transaction from an awakened population.
00:45:40.000 If you follow Christ, the first thing you'll get is the nuts to die for what you believe in.
00:45:44.000 Once you've got them, minerals, you're a serious, serious problem.
00:45:48.000 Because, you know, no one likes being scared.
00:45:50.000 I'll tell you, as someone who's standing trial soon, as I believe, as a result of things I've said in media, as well as, of course, being a promiscuous little hound as a younger man, as what I was supposed to be doing, but there you go.
00:46:03.000 That's my game, that's my issue, and I'll deal with that at trial.
00:46:06.000 What I want to tell you is the thing they fear most of all is your fearlessness.
00:46:10.000 Become fearless.
00:46:11.000 It ain't easy, and I still experience quite a lot of fear.
00:46:14.000 I'm not claiming that I'm there, but I understand the model now.
00:46:17.000 Yeah, well, so take Napster, for example.
00:46:19.000 Napster, they would have more of a claim because you'd say, Hey, I'm an artist.
00:46:26.000 I created that song.
00:46:27.000 With Bitcoin, they didn't have a claim.
00:46:29.000 Bitcoin was set up as open source.
00:46:32.000 Yeah.
00:46:32.000 It's saying, Hey, this is not ours.
00:46:34.000 Just like your idea with decentralization for voting and smaller communities.
00:46:41.000 It's like you're saying, Hey, I'll set it out there.
00:46:43.000 I'll get the plan, put it out there.
00:46:45.000 It's not a tech issue.
00:46:46.000 In fact, it's actually pretty easy to do tech-wise.
00:46:49.000 The issue is crazy.
00:46:51.000 Yeah, the issue is people not only just accepting it, but people demanding, hey, this is what we get in the population to demand.
00:46:59.000 Hey, we want decentralized we got free Joby. 1.00
00:47:02.000 Joby's got to be pardoned.
00:47:03.000 Let me know in the comment chat if you've seen this film already and let me know how we can support him.
00:47:07.000 That's the free Joby Campaign.
00:47:09.000 He's going to be sentenced in April.
00:47:11.000 They've set a date, so Mickey's asked us to get the word out to help talk about it because when you see the facts of it, it's pretty wild.
00:47:18.000 Let's make sure that Joby gets a fair trial. 0.99
00:47:20.000 Let's make all of the people that are standing trial for reasons other than injustice or crime get fair trials.
00:47:26.000 Let's make sure we have a justice system that's connected to true values.
00:47:29.000 And that ultimately means God.
00:47:30.000 But that's just what I think.
00:47:31.000 Let's get back into the film.
00:47:33.000 But before that, here's a quick message from one of our partners.
00:47:35.000 Censorship is back and it's happening everywhere.
00:47:37.000 Platforms are controlling the narratives and pushing the stuff they want us to see.
00:47:39.000 We've got to fight back.
00:47:40.000 Rumble is the only company that stood the test of time and they deserve our support.
00:47:45.000 On one side, Rumble is challenging big tech censorship.
00:47:48.000 And now on the other side, they've introduced something that will give us protection from big banks shutting us off.
00:47:53.000 Banks can cancel our accounts, freeze our cards.
00:47:56.000 So that's why we've launched Rumble Wallet.
00:48:00.000 A wallet no one can cancel and a wallet that supporters can use to instantly tip creators like old Russ without any middlemen taking cuts.

00:49:00.000 Hey, remember, we can't make that content without the support of your partner, so support them if you can.
00:49:04.000 And remember, these glorious, I'm going to call it life-giving elixirs can be used to coat your sweet, sweet innards.
00:49:11.000 Make them blue. 0.83
00:49:13.000 It may not be good to have blue blood in the sense that the royal family appear to be sex offenders, but it is good to have blue wee wee because it makes you strong.
00:49:21.000 Very, very strong.
00:49:23.000 Let's go back to this documentary, Free Joby, that explains really beautifully and clearly, and I'm getting a lot of ID from this.
00:49:28.000 I don't know about you, that if you just happen to be entrepreneurial and bright, like this dude Joby was, recognizing that Bitcoin was definitely going to work, getting invested, setting up Bitcoin mining centers completely legally, doing the whole thing legit and by the book.
00:49:41.000 If the government notice this is a problem, they will find a way to shut you down.
00:49:45.000 Remember, as we were taught, as Stalin's great aide said, show me the man and I'll show you the crime.
00:49:51.000 The law is created in order to be used, as Ayn Rand taught us and showed us, in order to control people when they need to be controlled.
00:49:59.000 The law's not there as a representative of some objective ideas, except in some very sort of simple cases like, why don't you drive carefully?
00:50:06.000 Because life is valuable.
00:50:07.000 Your life, my life, our lives are valuable.
00:50:09.000 Why don't we protect one another?
00:50:10.000 Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
00:50:11.000 When it comes to other laws, it's like, how are we going to continue to control everyone?
00:50:16.000 Well, by making up a load of stuff, and if anyone tries to mess with our systems, we'll use our made-up stuff as if it's an objective law.
00:50:23.000 The law is a tool of the system, and that is demonstrated clearly in this movie, Free Joby.
00:50:29.000 Just press play as it.
00:50:30.000 Jake.
00:50:31.000 Aloha, my name's Joby Weeks. 1.00
00:50:33.000 Fuck the police. 1.00
00:50:37.000 Where were we, Master? 1.00
00:50:38.000 Aloha, my name's Joby Weeks.
00:50:40.000 Here's without a trial.
00:50:42.000 I can't go anywhere or do anything or have a phone or a computer.
00:50:46.000 I mean, I read the pre-trial sentence report and it said accordingly, whether defendant's conduct caused harm to any victims how to cut people first, he was punished for it.
00:50:57.000 Financially, because the government is a physical product.
00:51:00.000 I see him sitting there.
00:51:01.000 I'm like, okay, I got six months goes by, and I get a phone call, and they're like, the government raided the data center, and they took everything.
00:51:08.000 And I'm like, what?
00:51:09.000 So I call up the agents and I'm like, did you guys just raid the data center?
00:51:13.000 You guys have my phone number.
00:51:14.000 The agents are like, yeah, we have some more questions.
00:51:15.000 I'm like, do you guys want to meet me in West Palm Beach for this Tony Robbins conference?
00:51:19.000 I got extra tickets.
00:51:20.000 It was called Data with Destiny.
00:51:22.000 See, I feel like I'm like cooperating with them.
00:51:25.000 I reached out when I found out there was an investigation.
00:51:27.000 I was like, come on down to West Palm.
00:51:29.000 We'll do Tony Robbins together at lunchtime.
00:51:31.000 We can chat about your investigation into BitClub or whatever you guys want.
00:51:36.000 And so at the lunch break, I see him sitting there.
00:51:40.000 I'm like, okay, I got some smoothies.
00:51:41.000 I got tickets.
00:51:42.000 Here we go.
00:51:42.000 I sit down.
00:51:43.000 I'm like, hey, how's it going?
00:51:44.000 And all of a sudden, boom, I'm surrounded by agents on all sides of me.
00:51:54.000 And then they take me to this unmarked building and they're just interrogating me for six hours, trying to get me to give them all my Bitcoin.
00:52:01.000 So I know I can't give you all my crypto.
00:52:03.000 And so that got them a little bit irritated.
00:52:06.000 On December 5th, 2019, Mr. Weeks was indicted for selling unregistered securities and wire fraud.
00:52:15.000 They didn't actually say I sold unregistered securities.
00:52:19.000 They said I was thinking about it.
00:52:21.000 Because computer equipment isn't a security.
00:52:23.000 It's a physical product.
00:52:24.000 That's what I was selling.
00:52:25.000 I was a vendor selling physical Bitcoin mining hardware.
00:52:27.000 It's not a security.
00:52:29.000 You can depreciate it.
00:52:30.000 The U.S. government seemed to just have branded BitClub as a Ponzi scheme.
00:52:36.000 And I can kind of sympathize because at that time, Bitcoin didn't make any sense to me either, quite frankly.
00:52:42.000 Most certainly, data mining operations to generate Bitcoin.
00:52:47.000 Like, this was really a new technology.
00:52:49.000 It was a new concept.
00:52:51.000 They said there was no Bitcoin mining.
00:52:53.000 And I'm like, no, here are the invoices.
00:52:55.000 Here's the tracking numbers.
00:52:56.000 Here's the quarter million dollars in duties and customs and tariffs I paid.
00:53:00.000 Here's the data center.
00:53:01.000 Here's the $10 million a month power bill.
00:53:03.000 Here's everybody getting paid.
00:53:05.000 This was not a fraudulent exercise.
00:53:07.000 They were actually generating millions of dollars and dispersing it to their club members.
00:53:14.000 BitClub was paying everybody out every single day until the day the government came Do you think it's because they had fixed assets like a building a ton of stuff like if you had gold somewhere would the government just come to find a way to take it I don't think it has anything to do with fixed assets.
00:53:36.000 I think it has to do with them either There was some misunderstanding because they said you know selling securities Well, I mean XRP just went through the whole court case and they determined it was not a security So like it and that was I don't know last year Yeah,
00:53:56.000 well XRP is another crypto and determining that cryptocurrency was not a security and so it so like the government have almost tried different ways to categorize it and criminalize it Yeah, basically saying hey you didn't go through the SEC, you know you're selling but but it sounds like when they when they say a Ponzi scheme, it's saying like hey, you're selling something that's not real, you know, which he wasn't.
00:54:22.000 They're mining Bitcoin operations unless he unless I don't know, maybe as you get further in, we'll see more about like his charges.
00:54:32.000 But I mean from what he's saying, it was wire fraud.
00:54:36.000 I don't know how they got him on wire fraud, what they meant by that.
00:54:41.000 It's a bit like the Chappelle show, Jake, with the unstoppable N-word act right there.
00:54:47.000 Like in the end, like are crossing state lines with a woman, what they got puffy for and what they got, is it was the name of the fighter, Jack Johnson?
00:54:55.000 Yeah.
00:54:57.000 But in the end, it's reverse engineered.
00:55:00.000 You can see it with things that are a bit more innocuous.
00:55:02.000 Like I saw something that we did talk about Keir Starmer, the UK Prime Minister the other day.
00:55:08.000 Oh yes, it was talking about restrictions on social media.
00:55:13.000 And if you squint, if you look carefully, you can see the working out first.
00:55:18.000 When you see Keir Starmer saying we're going to be restricting social media access for teenagers, of course it'll be very easy to believe, oh, this is because they want to protect young people from seeing imagery that's harmful or damaging.
00:55:31.000 And that's what they care about.
00:55:33.000 But actually when you sort of think about it, you go, no, what's happened is they need to control social media.
00:55:39.000 That's the problem that they have to solve.
00:55:41.000 And they know that they can't just say, we're going to control social media now because we don't like the way you're using it.
00:55:47.000 The requirement of government is control.
00:55:49.000 How do they justify control?
00:55:51.000 One of the ways that I observed it as well was in the COVID pandemic where the explicit overt agenda was we have to protect people.
00:55:59.000 We have to save human life.
00:56:01.000 We have to protect you.
00:56:02.000 And like kind of, of course that makes sense because that's what we all know we're supposed to be doing for one another, protecting one another, loving one each other, taking care of each other, protecting one another.
00:56:10.000 That's clear and explicit.
00:56:12.000 But when you start looking at does that mode of behavior get applied elsewhere in society and you see that it doesn't, you're confronted with a disjunct.
00:56:22.000 Like one of the obvious ones for me was they housed homeless people in the UK during the pandemic, partly because they were saying that they were an infection risk while they were out there wandering about and stuff.
00:56:34.000 But that showed us a lot of stuff that, oh, wow, look, you can solve the problem of homelessness overnight when you need to.
00:56:39.000 All sorts of things happen dradically and quickly.
00:56:41.000 And in a sense, the veil pierces.
00:56:45.000 I don't know that the pan, I've always wondered how to frame the pandemic.
00:56:49.000 But what I do know about the pandemic is it showed us some things that were concealed previously.
00:56:54.000 The ability to regulate, the ability to control, the desire to manage events in order to benefit powerful interests.
00:57:03.000 And this case is the same because, you know, does anyone in the world believe that like the FBI or the CIA or whoever were like, hey, what's going on here?
00:57:13.000 This isn't right.
00:57:14.000 Some people are getting ripped off by a Ponzi scheme.
00:57:17.000 Come on, we're the CIA.
00:57:18.000 Let's protect the people.
00:57:20.000 Like everyone knows it's not that.
00:57:22.000 Everyone, no one in the world thinks it's that.
00:57:25.000 Everyone says, well, at best, they're like, we don't like this for no reason. 1.00
00:57:29.000 Let's shut this shit down. 1.00
00:57:30.000 And at worst, it's that is going to be a fucking serious problem. 1.00
00:57:33.000 Shut that down. 0.98
00:57:34.000 And the reason I identify is because I feel like it happened to me.
00:57:36.000 I feel like what happened to me was like, whoa, no, this ain't good.
00:57:39.000 This ain't good.
00:57:40.000 Like a public figure talking a lot.
00:57:42.000 No, This could escalate. 1.00
00:57:45.000 Shut that shit down. 1.00
00:57:46.000 Shut it down. 1.00
00:57:47.000 Go, what can what can we get this geezer on? 0.92
00:57:49.000 There's something, there'll be something.
00:57:50.000 He's always mouthing on about birds, and he go check it.
00:57:52.000 Go check it.
00:57:53.000 Like you'll find something.
00:57:54.000 You'll find something.
00:57:56.000 Yeah.
00:57:57.000 Think about this on the scale of FBI's list.
00:58:00.000 Like this, I mean, he had several data centers.
00:58:03.000 I mean, it seems big from like, I guess, a normal person's point of view of going, oh, he had multiple data centers around the country.
00:58:11.000 Dude, on the scale, making several million a year, like, dude, on a scale of the FBI's list, like, there's such huge operations and companies and financial fraud and all that stuff.
00:58:25.000 This should be really far down the scale for it to be on their radar.
00:58:29.000 So why is it on their radar?
00:58:31.000 Because it's crypto.
00:58:32.000 And they already see the potentials, especially Bitcoin, especially.
00:58:36.000 Like, Bitcoin shouldn't have made it just because there was so much oppression against it.
00:58:43.000 But like with Bit, there's no figures between, there's no brokers between you and your money.
00:58:52.000 So there's less control.
00:58:53.000 Yeah.
00:58:54.000 You know, and it's in, I mean, the ledger's open too.
00:58:57.000 So that the way that it's it, the only way that it goes away is if everyone deems it non-valuable.
00:59:05.000 Yeah.
00:59:05.000 Or like everyone decides not to participate in it.
00:59:10.000 Who and also look at who's threatened by it.
00:59:12.000 It's like who who's gonna, who does if this continues, who gets messed with like.
00:59:16.000 When I think about again every, I see everything is analogous to me and I know that is in a way self-centered, But it's also using something you know something about to understand a broader reality.
00:59:24.000 Universalism and individualism do meet.
00:59:27.000 Indeed, individuals meant to mean undivided from God.
00:59:30.000 Even the meaning of the word has got changed over time.
00:59:33.000 So, like what I recognize with me is that they could write me as a sort of an atom in the molecular structure of social media.
00:59:41.000 Is they recognize, if we keep having unsanctioned media figures able to convey information and we don't regulate or control them or check them, in the end that's going to stop us being able to have wars.
00:59:55.000 When we want levy taxations, when we want control the outcomes of elections, you know like they need the BBC MSNBC CNN FOX, Whatever now this thing.
01:00:05.000 So look who gets affected, the government and the media.
01:00:08.000 So the government and the media are immediately impacted and obviously because my particular thing emerged during Covid the pharmacological companies that are on record modern, specifically as having spent money monitoring our content, controlling our content, observing our content to the Tune of millions.
01:00:22.000 I'm not mucking around here, it's stuff that will come out over time.
01:00:25.000 But when it comes to our man here, what are the institutions that get friend?
01:00:29.000 I mean, it's almost, I mean, it's the blood of the system, currency, isn't it?
