00:02:12.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:02:23.000 Hello there you Awakening Wonders, thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:02:27.000 We've got so much to talk to you about today, whether it's the online safety hearing in the United States that seems extraordinarily obviously being leveraged to generate more opportunities for control.

00:02:39.000 In fact, let me know what you think right now on the rumble stream.

00:02:42.000 Is this hearing, this inquiry, really about child safety online?

00:02:47.000 Or is it about more opportunities to implement control?

00:02:50.000 One, if you think it's about child safety.

00:02:53.000 Two, if you think it's about the implementation of control.

00:02:56.000 I'll ask you right now.

00:02:57.000 What do you think?

00:02:58.000 We've asked that elsewhere on other platforms and we'll show you those poll results a little later, as well as talking about my experiences on Tucker Carlson recently.

00:03:06.000 If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be there for about 15 minutes.

00:03:10.000 Yeah, none of you are buying it anymore.

00:03:11.000 No one's buying it!

00:03:12.000 If you're watching us on YouTube, you have to remember That the WHO regulate many of the guidelines that are on YouTube or specifically they implement the suggestions and regulations from the WHO when it comes to discussion of medical matters and there's a inquiry underway in Australia right now that is going way off track when it comes to the WHO perspective with lawyers and physicians questioning the validity of measures taken in Australia and you know how draconian those measures were

00:03:41.000 People asking questions like is it right for the state to intervene in your relationship with your private physician?

00:03:47.000 What happens when doctors start ending their own lives as is happening in Australia?

00:03:51.000 We'll be showing you a little of that as well as updating you on the global pharma uprising as The people that toil the land to generate food turn against the system.

00:04:01.000 Remember, download the Rumble app.

00:04:03.000 You can watch us there, where we stream in order to stream freely.

00:04:07.000 Not because we want to convey hate speech, but because we want to convey free speech and quite the opposite.

00:04:12.000 Love is what we believe in.

00:04:14.000 And remember that when you join us in the Rumble chat.

00:04:14.000 Unity.

00:04:17.000 Remember, That whenever you use defamatory language, and I support your free speech, I support your right to say whatever you want, but whenever you use defamatory speech on the basis of someone's identity or religion or race, they love that!

00:04:30.000 Yes!

00:04:31.000 We've got them turned against one The minute that we begin to say, I don't care about your identity, I care about your ability to oppose these centralised systems of corruption and they are growing in power.

00:04:42.000 When the Orwellian language abides, we know we're in trouble.

00:04:46.000 When we're told that war is the only way of peace, we're in trouble.

00:04:49.000 When we're told that bombing the Yemen is self-defence, when you are America and you're in America, we know that something serious is going on.

00:04:59.000 I'm saying hello to you.

00:05:00.000 MR Awesome.

00:05:01.000 I'm saying hello to you Tree Burner, Lefarious Monsters in the chat.

00:05:05.000 You're in for a wild ride.

00:05:07.000 I want to say hello to all my Awaken Wonders over on Locals.

00:05:09.000 Those are our supporters who get additional content.

00:05:11.000 Every single week we make additional content for them.

00:05:15.000 This week's video is fantastic, as well as going into some detail about what's going on in Australia, which you will love because I'm a Moderna are fretting.

00:05:24.000 Moderna, this is beautiful.

00:05:26.000 You see Stéphane Bancel saying, we're making all of these vaccines and nobody wants them.

00:05:31.000 It's fantastic.

00:05:32.000 It's extraordinary.

00:05:33.000 We also are posting our own conversation with Tucker exclusively on Locals.

00:05:33.000 You'll love it.

00:05:40.000 It's up there right now.

00:05:41.000 We've posted it.

00:05:42.000 Me and Tucker had a conversation, not the one that's already posted everywhere, a private, discreet conversation If you want access to that, you can have a look at it right now.

00:05:51.000 In fact, let's pull the clip up.

00:05:53.000 Let me show people a little clip of that.

00:05:55.000 What number is it on my pad, please?

00:05:57.000 So I can play it out now.

00:05:59.000 You lot are going to love this conversation.

00:06:00.000 So this isn't the one that's already been on X and everywhere.

00:06:04.000 This is one that we have made privately.

00:06:06.000 Let's have a look.

00:06:07.000 Number?

00:06:07.000 12.

00:06:08.000 Let's have a look at this.

00:06:09.000 What's happening, Tucker?

00:06:13.000 What happens here tends to act as a preview for what's about to happen in the rest of the West.

00:06:19.000 Ultimately, the current set of global conflicts, will they be used to legitimize further authoritarianism

00:06:32.000 and control?

00:06:33.000 Without question, and the irony is that control... Oh, it looks pretty good, doesn't it?

00:06:37.000 That conversation is up right now on Locals.

00:06:40.000 You can watch it, well, don't watch it now, because we're doing this show and it's gonna be a fantastic show.

00:06:44.000 We're getting up to 10,000 now in the Rumble stream.

00:06:47.000 I wanna say hello to Kyle Rhine, Kyle Rhino, big friend of this show.

00:06:52.000 Richie Dupe.

00:06:53.000 We love all of you!

00:06:54.000 If you're watching us on YouTube, you're going to have to jump over into the Rumble Stream because it's where we speak freely, it's where we are guaranteed safety, it's where we can develop and cultivate this movement, where we can grow together spiritually, where we can grow together in freedom or the alternative is to imbibe the legacy media trusted news initiative approved pap that they want your mind filled with so that you become numbed off so that you are no longer an awakening node in a system of change.

00:07:24.000 Let's have a look at this Orwellian language.

00:07:26.000 When you're bombing the Yemen now it's self-defense. 0.91

00:07:28.000 Do you understand that?

00:07:29.000 Fox News, the U.S.

00:07:30.000 has carried out a self-defense strike targeting and destroying multiple projectiles that the Houthis were preparing to launch at commercial ships just in the last hour. 1.00

00:07:40.000 You damn Houthis, you! 1.00

00:07:42.000 Now, this is the 12th time the U.S. 1.00

00:07:44.000 has conducted strikes against the Houthis in Yemen since January 11th, and the second in just under about 24 hours.

00:07:50.000 Now this is completely separate from the looming response to the drone attack that killed the three soldiers.

00:07:55.000 It's looming. We've got that war lined up.

00:07:58.000 So we've got this war in the Middle East, we've got that war in the Middle East, we've got Iran lined up nicely. 1.00

00:08:03.000 And anyone who's been paying attention to things like the new American century and their plans to attack numerous

00:08:09.000 countries, including Iran, will be aware that first comes the agenda,

00:08:14.000 attack Iran, then comes the legitimization of attacking Iran.

00:08:19.000 That's at least how I'm beginning to think it works, but you are the people that educate us.

00:08:23.000 You are the people that we turn to.

00:08:25.000 You are the people that are going to be required to awaken.

00:08:28.000 I know, I'm trying my best.

00:08:30.000 I'm doing everything I can to awaken.

00:08:32.000 I'm trying to overcome my own failings, my own limitations.

00:08:35.000 I'm trying to summon a deep power accessible to all of us, because how is the political space ever going to serve us?

00:08:42.000 Do you ever wonder if anyone can operate freely in the political space, or do they all eventually get co-opted?

00:08:47.000 How do you join the Hoofies?

00:08:49.000 Says StephM1978.

00:08:50.000 Uselot, that's jokes.

00:08:52.000 I know that there'll be a serious side to this.

00:08:53.000 I know commercial ships will be getting attacked, but they are commercial ships that are, I don't know, where are they?

00:08:58.000 Gulf of Mexico?

00:08:59.000 Are they up and down the Mississippi?

00:09:00.000 Are they in the River Thames?

00:09:02.000 Are they in the Danube in the middle of Europe?

00:09:03.000 Just geographically, tell me where these commercial ships are right now and then we'll analyse it.

00:09:08.000 Hey, we knew this moment would come because up till now, Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump have been playing nicely.

00:09:16.000 Thanks for the compliments on the shirt.

00:09:17.000 I appreciate it.

00:09:18.000 Hoofy and the Blowfish, says ODMLX.

00:09:20.000 Yeah, we ain't gonna take the news seriously.

00:09:22.000 The news is just the TV program, you know, just because they sit there going, Hello, this news has happened.

00:09:26.000 Sit quietly in your home.

00:09:28.000 Don't go anywhere.

00:09:28.000 Don't say anything.

00:09:29.000 Don't talk to anyone.

00:09:30.000 Do as you're told.

00:09:31.000 Take whatever medicine we say you're gonna take.

00:09:33.000 Have a chip inserted onto your skin.

00:09:34.000 They're not doing that yet, are they?

00:09:36.000 So let's be fair.

00:09:37.000 They're not doing that yet.

00:09:38.000 So RFK and Donald Trump are in a spat.

00:09:40.000 Have a look at this.

00:09:42.000 This is on Truth Social.

00:09:43.000 Look, of course, Donald Trump, he's by far the most radical left person running for office maybe ever.

00:09:48.000 Look at his environmental program and close up the USA.

00:09:53.000 Pretty fascinating.

00:09:53.000 And then Bobby Kennedy comes back.

00:09:56.000 Now, we have this.

00:09:57.000 Radically shutting down the country with no due process.

00:09:59.000 He's talking about the pandemic.

00:10:00.000 Pushing operation warp speed on an experimental pharmaceutical product and giving Dr. Fauci, who now admits social distancing wasn't based on science, a presidential commendation.

00:10:11.000 I look forward to debating our records in San Marcos on September the 16th.

00:10:15.000 Is that happening?

00:10:16.000 Is that really going to happen?

00:10:17.000 Is that happening in San Marcos on September the 16th?

00:10:19.000 That sounds Oh, well, he's saying that that will be the presidential showdown.

00:10:23.000 Explain to me what that means, because that seems cool.

00:10:25.000 Are you going to be talking about James O'Keefe today?

00:10:27.000 It says, eh, what now, mum?

00:10:29.000 Indeed we are.

00:10:30.000 James O'Keefe, I would call him journalist and master of disguise.

00:10:35.000 James O'Keefe has gone very, very deep, and you are going to love that.

00:10:39.000 You're going to love watching James O'Keefe going deeper, guys.

00:10:42.000 So, like, he's gone deep, deep into disguise.

00:10:46.000 So, Peter McCulloch, this is pretty interesting because one of the things I wonder, and I want to know what you lot say, because I know that there's a significant number of you love Donald Trump, you see Donald Trump as the answer.

00:10:56.000 What do you feel when RFK hits him on the pandemic record?

00:11:00.000 How do you feel about that?

00:11:01.000 How do you think the pandemic was handled by Trump?

00:11:05.000 This is interesting because Peter McCulloch, who's been on this show before, many of you will be aware of Peter McCulloch because of his uh views uh you know he's a legit doctor man he came out hard during the pandemic he was one of the first people saying don't uh vaccinate during a pandemic he was saying things like spike proteins won't remain in the site shouldn't be called a vaccine to gene therapy i mean we're still on youtube so we'll be careful but uh these are things he said which are

00:11:29.000 Plainly conspiracy theories, the lunatic!

00:11:32.000 Anyway, he's come out now saying that demographically, the issue of the pandemic, and in particular vaccines, could affect the outcome of the election. 0.56

00:11:41.000 Now, I don't know what you guys think about that, but have a look.

00:11:46.000 You might find this an interesting insight.

00:11:48.000 I'm looking at you, Awakened Wonders, RiversEd, USA Now, Rational Anarchy.

00:11:52.000 Whoever is running for president better figure this out pretty quick, because only 60% of people vote That's it.

00:12:00.000 That's all you're going to get.

00:12:01.000 60% even in the biggest election.

00:12:04.000 So out of the 60% we're talking 40 plus.

00:12:07.000 This is a hot issue.

00:12:08.000 Do you know many candidates can't even articulate where they stand on this?

00:12:12.000 Interesting.

00:12:13.000 Do you think it could be a defining issue?

00:12:16.000 Would you vote for someone that, say if someone says the pandemic was handled brilliantly, I support Big Pharma.

00:12:25.000 Would you vote for him?

00:12:26.000 Y or N in the rumble chat, if that was their position.

00:12:29.000 Or would you, you know, prefer... I'll just let me know.

00:12:32.000 That's that question for now.

00:12:34.000 Hey, you know, did you see them sort of photographs of Trump with his hand with either a golf injury or red ink on it or what some people suggested?

00:12:34.000 That question.

00:12:43.000 Because I think I saw in some legacy media spaces that it was like an indication of I don't know, gonorrhea?

00:12:48.000 I mean, people made some pretty outrageous claims, even in the apparently rational and legitimate news space.

00:12:53.000 A news space that is running scared.

00:12:55.000 A news space that exists primarily to amplify the interests of the powerful.

00:12:59.000 Here's Donald Trump addressing... Yeah, no one would vote for him.

00:13:02.000 No one would vote for a candidate that was not honest about the pandemic period, that didn't support the legitimate and genuine inquiry, and indeed, beyond inquiry, reckoning that is required in this situation.

00:13:16.000 What was the information we were given?

00:13:18.000 What were the assurances we were offered around those medications?

00:13:21.000 What is going on with Exist?

00:13:23.000 There's a lot of questions and there are questions that we'll be answering in full over on the Rumble stream.

00:13:27.000 So remember, if you're watching us on YouTube, join us on Rumble and you, you Awakened Wonders, you glorious members of our community, we love you and we appreciate you.

00:13:36.000 Let's have a look at Donald Trump addressing the red hand stuff.

00:13:40.000 It looks like it's better now, man.

00:13:42.000 Yeah, remember what happened the other day?

00:13:44.000 What was wrong with him?

00:13:45.000 Nothing.

00:13:46.000 the photos coming out of Trump Tower? No. Okay. What was wrong with them? The other one.

00:13:50.000 You want to tell us what happened with them? Nothing. Maybe it's AI.

00:13:57.000 Well, you know, they can do pretty impressive things these days.

00:14:03.000 Now, the main thing that we want to talk to you about today is the inquiry into online child safety.

00:14:11.000 Did you see yet TikTok CEO Xu Zhiqiu was repeatedly asked if he was a member of the Chinese Communist Party.

00:14:18.000 Those of you old enough or Well-informed enough, or well-educated enough, or just maybe you've picked it up.

00:14:24.000 When McCarthyism was a pretty big thing in your country in the 1950s, are you a member of the Communist Party, was a pretty well-repeated refrain.

00:14:33.000 It was a time of terror.

00:14:35.000 It was a time where freedom of speech and freedom of ideas was closed down.

00:14:39.000 Having a look at this conversation, this inquiry between these various senators, in this case it's Tom Cotton and the head of TikTok, is redolent of those times.

00:14:52.000 Our friend over here on Rumble, the Pulitzer Prize-winning conspiracy theorist Glenn Greenwood posted this. 0.98

00:14:59.000 Tom Cotton is a complete imbecile, as this clip vividly demonstrates, and both parties fear-mongering Over TikTok is grounded in diminuendo. 0.99

00:15:09.000 There's far more evidence that they're censoring for the US government than China. 1.00

00:15:12.000 This is all about government control over social media.

00:15:16.000 We've already asked you what do you think these hearings are about?

00:15:20.000 Do you think it's about protecting children or do you think it is about control?

00:15:26.000 These are one of the kinds of questions that have to be asked regularly when you're involved in a discourse with a government.

00:15:32.000 What is the relationship between the state and the population?

00:15:36.000 Are they supposed to be like parents?

00:15:37.000 Are they supposed to be like sovereigns?

00:15:39.000 Are they supposed to be like jailers?

00:15:41.000 Remember at the advent of the pandemic period where it was indeed the sanctity and sacredness of human life that encouraged many of us to be compliant.

00:15:51.000 We are all sacred.

00:15:52.000 Everybody has the right to live.

00:15:54.000 We should protect one another.

00:15:56.000 Therefore, if it's suggested that we should remain within our homes, even if that's just going to be beneficial to the most vulnerable members of our society, then we should do it.

00:16:04.000 If we should take this medication because it will stop the spread, because it will prevent more vulnerable people, people with comorbidities, who seem to be the people that were dying, then we will take it.

00:16:15.000 Over time, it seemed that we were, to a degree, misinformed.

00:16:20.000 Over time, it became clear That our previous assumptions about the nature of our relationship with the government had to be looked at, highlighted, remembered.

00:16:30.000 Hold on a second! 0.93

00:16:32.000 The government aren't particularly interested in protecting vulnerable people.

00:16:36.000 The government are interested in control.

00:16:38.000 Big Pharma aren't especially interested in helping people, unless helping people is an inadvertent by-product of the pursuit of profit.

00:16:47.000 They are interested in the pursuit of profit.

00:16:50.000 As time goes on, what mindset serves you better?

00:16:54.000 Obedience or skepticism?

00:16:56.000 Compliance or disobedience?

00:16:59.000 Let's have a look at the CEO of TikTok.

00:17:03.000 He handles this real well and he seems to be, I would say, operating on a higher intellectual plane than dear Tom Cotton, although I don't know either of them.

00:17:11.000 You let me know who you find yourself affiliated with, even though ultimately we're talking about someone that runs a massive platform and Someone that's a senator.

00:17:20.000 Let's check it.

00:17:21.000 I think they then had a lawsuit and it was overturned.

00:17:24.000 It's another company.

00:17:24.000 No, no.

00:17:24.000 I can't remember.

00:17:25.000 It was the Biden administration that reversed those sanctions, just like, by the way, they reversed the terrorist designation on the Houthis in Yemen.

00:17:32.000 How's that working out for them?

00:17:33.000 But it was sanctioned as a Chinese communist military company.

00:17:38.000 So you said today, as you often say, that you live in Singapore.

00:17:42.000 He's really obsessed with this Singapore thing.

00:17:44.000 Now of course a Chinese company that comes out of the Chinese state likely is affiliated with and to a degree controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.

00:17:54.000 I imagine that's kind of how it works out there.

00:17:57.000 I get it.

00:17:58.000 Them guys don't play.

00:18:00.000 But what is this inquiry interested in?

00:18:04.000 Is it interested in protecting your children or is it interested in controlling you?

00:18:11.000 Are you a citizen?

00:18:12.000 Singapore.

00:18:13.000 Are you a citizen of any other nation?

00:18:15.000 No, Senator.

00:18:16.000 Have you ever applied for Chinese citizenship?

00:18:18.000 Senator, I served my nation in Singapore.

00:18:21.000 No, I did not.

00:18:21.000 Do you have a Singaporean passport?

00:18:24.000 Yes.

00:18:25.000 That's my senator.

00:18:26.000 He waffles so much I get sick of him.

00:18:28.000 Singapore's awesome, says her husband.

00:18:30.000 Yes, and I served my military for two and a half years in Singapore.

00:18:33.000 Do you have any other passports from any other nation?

00:18:35.000 No, Senator.

00:18:36.000 Your wife is an American citizen.

00:18:37.000 Your children are American citizens.

00:18:39.000 That's correct.

00:18:40.000 Have you ever applied for American citizenship?

00:18:42.000 No, not yet.

00:18:43.000 Okay.

00:18:47.000 Have you ever been a member of the Chinese Communist Party?

00:18:49.000 Yeah, what about that?

00:18:50.000 Senator, I'm Singaporean.

00:18:51.000 No.

00:18:52.000 Have you ever been associated or affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party?

00:18:56.000 No, Senator.

00:18:56.000 Again, I'm Singaporean.

00:18:57.000 Let me ask you some hopefully simple questions.

00:18:59.000 You said earlier, in response to your question, that what happened at Tiananmen Square in June of 1989 was a massive protest.

00:19:06.000 Did anything else happen in Tiananmen Square?

00:19:09.000 It's really interesting that we're going into Tiananmen Square now because everyone knows what happened in Tiananmen Square.

00:19:14.000 It was a massacre.

00:19:16.000 It was a terrible event.

00:19:19.000 We've all got the image of the dude with the carrier bags confronting a tank as a painful and beautiful reminder that even a single individual can stand up To the might of tyranny.

00:19:30.000 And perhaps we need greater reminders that we as individuals matter.

00:19:34.000 That your individual sovereignty, your individual connection to God, or what you use as a value system if you don't believe in God, is your sanctuary, and is sanctified, and is vital, and is important.

00:19:47.000 What is taking place in this inquiry is anti-democratic, is tyrannical.

00:19:53.000 It's not about how do we protect your children.

00:19:55.000 If it was, why the hell are we talking about Tiananmen Square?

00:19:59.000 Why are we talking about the Chinese Communist Party?

00:20:01.000 Is he suggesting that the TikTok is to a degree an asset of the Chinese Communist Party?

00:20:04.000 I imagine if you live in China, what you see on TikTok is not at odds.

00:20:09.000 With the preferences of the Chinese Communist Party.

00:20:12.000 I reckon that's spot on.

00:20:13.000 But we live in anglophonic nations.

00:20:15.000 Most of us, let us know where you live.

00:20:16.000 As a matter of fact, I'm interested in all of you.

00:20:19.000 What I'm saying is, is this dude here, dear old Tom Cotton, is interested in a certain control over a platform that at the moment can be used in some territories to freely exchange data.

00:20:30.000 And they want that control over TikTok.

00:20:32.000 They want that control over Facebook.

00:20:33.000 They want that control over Meta.

00:20:34.000 They want that control to be ubiquitous and uninterrupted.

00:20:38.000 Yes, I think it's well documented.

00:20:39.000 There was a massacre.

00:20:40.000 There was an indiscriminate slaughter of hundreds or thousands of Chinese citizens.

00:20:45.000 Do you agree with the Trump administration and the Biden administration that the Chinese government is committing genocide against the Uyghur people?

00:20:52.000 Senator, I've said this before.

00:20:53.000 I think it's really important that anyone who cares about this topic or any topic can freely express themselves on TikTok.

00:20:58.000 That's pretty interesting because at the moment you can freely discuss it on TikTok.

00:21:03.000 Listen, if you're watching this on YouTube, we're going to leave right now.

00:21:05.000 Start the counter.

00:21:06.000 But before we leave you, before we leave you, I've got some important information.

00:21:59.000 We're going to do some more on this inquiry.

00:22:02.000 I'm going to talk to you a little bit about Tucker.

00:22:04.000 Remember, become an Awakened Wonder.

00:22:05.000 You can see our conversation with Tucker right now.

00:22:08.000 It's up already, but I'd advise you to stay with us because we've got some fantastic additional content to discuss with you.

00:22:14.000 John Podesta, when did you last hear that dude's name?

00:22:17.000 The Moderna CEOs have been making some interesting omissions.

00:22:20.000 So much more.

00:22:20.000 Click the link.

00:22:21.000 Get over onto Rumble with us.

00:22:23.000 See you there.

00:22:24.000 Stay free.

00:22:25.000 Let's get back into this stuff.

00:22:25.000 Okay, guys.

00:22:27.000 Where were we now in the order?

00:22:28.000 Back to where we were.

00:22:29.000 That's the spirit.

00:22:29.000 Nice work.

00:22:30.000 Okay.

00:22:31.000 So, oh yeah.

00:22:32.000 I want to watch the rest of that.

00:22:33.000 So, I'm going to show you a little bit of information and we're going to jump back into the TikTok thing.

00:22:39.000 So, check where we were on the timeline with the TikTok CEO because I just want to show you this before I go back.

00:22:45.000 So, 41 seconds.

00:22:47.000 So, like, if what the government is interested in is protecting children, 3.6 million cases of child abuse reported in the US, approximately 2.5 million children are homeless, more than 30 million people faced hunger in 2022, and how much of that do you imagine might be as a result of relationships between big food and the state, and the decay of infrastructure, the widespread Decay of infrastructure because of the amount of expenditure on foreign wars and the advocacy for endless perpetuation of Potentially needless conflict.

00:23:23.000 Let's go back to the CEO.

00:23:24.000 Do you want to play in from there?

00:23:26.000 We were at 47 seconds or 41 seconds.

00:23:28.000 So if you just just press play and you'll do that.

00:23:30.000 I think they then had been that what happens of Chinese citizens Do you agree?

00:23:38.000 It's a very simple question that unites both parties in our country and governments around the world.

00:23:44.000 Is the Chinese government committing genocide against the Uyghur people?

00:23:49.000 This is when they go full on in pretending to care about the Uyghurs. 1.00

00:23:55.000 Exploitation, murder, incarceration and potential genocide against the Uyghur people in China is disgusting and appalling.

00:24:03.000 The only thing I can think of that's more disgusting and appalling than that is exploiting it to legitimize potential measures of control and furthering the advance of the censorship industrial complex.

00:24:16.000 Like, if they care about the Uyghurs, don't have the leader of China come over to San Francisco for a conference.

00:24:23.000 If you care so much about the Uyghurs, Fully investigate whether or not Apple are employing Uyghur workers, potentially even incarcerated Uyghur workers in the manufacture of Apple.

00:24:33.000 How about some embargoes, some trade embargoes, so that Apple can't practice or sell phones in China?

00:24:39.000 It's extraordinary moral morass that we're being invited to enter.

00:24:43.000 You know, you can come and talk about this topic on any topic that matters to you.

00:24:47.000 You are a worldly, cosmopolitan, well-educated man who's expressed many opinions on many topics.

00:24:52.000 Is the Chinese government committing genocide against the Uyghur people?

00:24:56.000 Actually, Senator, I talk amazingly about my company, and I'm here to talk about what TikTok does.

00:25:00.000 Yes or no, you're here to give testimony that's truthful and honest and complete.

00:25:05.000 Let me ask you this, Joe Biden last year said that Xi Jinping was a dictator.

00:25:09.000 Do you agree with Joe Biden that Xi Jinping is a dictator?

00:25:11.000 Senator, I'm not going to comment on any world leaders.

00:25:14.000 I feel about that inquiry... Can you leave it up for us?

00:25:17.000 Leave it up.

00:25:18.000 I feel about that inquiry the same way as that guy sitting behind Tom Cotton feels.

00:25:23.000 Suspicious.

00:25:25.000 I'm checked out.

00:25:26.000 I'm checked out of the inquiry because I don't trust it.

00:25:30.000 Did you see the bit where Mark Zuckerberg had to stand up and apologize to families who've been impacted by child exploitation on meta platforms?

00:25:38.000 There's no doubt that social media sites can be pretty unpleasant places.

00:25:42.000 There's no doubt that all of us Place and prize our children's welfare above all else.

00:25:49.000 There's also very little doubt that this is a staged media event.

00:25:53.000 I say this with all respect to people who have had children that have self-harmed or ended their own life or been impacted by bullying as a result of activity on social media.

00:26:01.000 So this is obviously a very important issue.

00:26:03.000 What I'm suggesting is not that that isn't important, but this is an exploitative campaign that will be used to leverage further censorship measures in a terrain that increasingly the government are finding difficult to control.

00:26:13.000 As dissenting voices grow, as disobedience grows, as more and more of us become yet more mistrustful of systems of dominion that we've now known for some time we can't rely on.

00:26:23.000 Let's have a look at Zuckerberg there having to sort of apologize like he's actually at school.

00:26:28.000 It's pretty amazing.

00:26:29.000 A stunning moment.

00:26:31.000 Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg faced a withering grilling over allegations his company is failing to protect children on social media.

00:26:39.000 There's families of victims here today.

00:26:41.000 Have you apologized to the victims?

00:26:43.000 Would you like to do so now?

00:26:45.000 You're on national television.

00:26:45.000 They're here.

00:26:47.000 Would you like now to apologize to the victims who have been harmed by your product?

00:26:50.000 Show them the pictures.

00:26:51.000 Zuckerberg stood and turned to address the hearing room filled with the families.

00:26:56.000 Obviously that's been planned in advance because everyone's had those photos distributed among them

00:27:01.000 and indeed drawing attention to online bullying or sites that encourage suicide or self-harm.

00:27:08.000 I can see that there's obviously a value in that and anyone that's been negatively impacted by that,

00:27:12.000 of course you have my sympathy.

00:27:15.000 But let's remember what Mark Zuckerberg wrote to Anthony Fauci during the pandemic period.

00:27:21.000 We're at 1 minute 17 on this one.

00:27:22.000 Have a look.

00:27:24.000 I'm pressing button 11 to have a look at the Jimmy Dore post.

00:27:28.000 On March 15th, Mark Zuckerberg privately contacted Fauci saying, I also wanted to share a few ideas of ways we could help you get your message out.

00:27:35.000 Zuckerberg then censored scientists, professors, doctors, nurses, and citizens from criticizing Fauci's recommendations.

00:27:41.000 So there was a period When social media was being pretty well aligned with the agenda of the government.

00:27:47.000 That's interesting, isn't it?

00:27:48.000 So that, in a sense, shows you what the appetite is truly for.

00:27:52.000 Brilliant post by Jimmy Dore here.

00:27:55.000 Facebook classified mRNA vaccine injuries as mal-information, meaning information that's likely true but should still be censored to prevent doubts about the experimental mRNA vaccines.

00:28:05.000 Numerous Facebook mRNA vaccine injury support groups with hundreds of thousands of members were banned.

00:28:10.000 So, Facebook were pretty compliant.

00:28:13.000 They were pretty compliant when it came to the pandemic period.

00:28:17.000 It's extraordinary, isn't it?

00:28:19.000 Let's go back to the Mark Zuckerberg thing, hopefully where we were.

00:28:24.000 Let's have a look.

00:28:26.000 Yeah, let's have a look there.

00:28:27.000 Thanks, guys.

00:28:30.000 Zuckerberg stood and turned to address the hearing room filled with the families.

00:28:34.000 Many held signs with photos of loved ones who they say have suffered because of social media.

00:28:40.000 And this is why we invested so much and are going to continue doing extremely big efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that your families have had to suffer.

00:28:59.000 Wow.

00:29:00.000 That moment is something that I believe that we are going to be looking back on and talking about for quite some time.

00:29:11.000 This is the one issue we are putting party aside and saying, no, this will not happen to America's children.

00:29:16.000 That and Uyghurs. 1.00

00:29:16.000 That's right. 1.00

00:29:17.000 Those are the two things we're all united on.

00:29:19.000 We really care about Uyghurs and we really care about America's children and there's certainly not an agenda to censor social media spaces to stop popular dissent spreading.

00:29:28.000 The Red says, these are some of your comments, Tom Cotton clearly has some in his ears.

00:29:33.000 Does he know anything about Singapore?

00:29:34.000 Says River Deep, Mount Ahai, Rattlesnake Haven.

00:29:37.000 I just saw you, Tucker.

00:29:37.000 You were brilliant.

00:29:38.000 Oh, thanks, mate.

00:29:38.000 I appreciate that.

00:29:39.000 Plus, thanks for the $10.

00:29:41.000 Thanks a lot, you guys.

00:29:41.000 Lovely.

00:29:43.000 Let's have a look at the rest of this.

00:29:44.000 Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri continued to blast the billionaire.

00:29:49.000 Shouldn't you be held accountable personally?

00:29:50.000 You're a billionaire.

00:29:51.000 Will you set up a victim's compensation fund with your money?

00:29:55.000 The money you made on... All this phony, performative, theatrical nonsense, the pretense of adversity between the government and social media when plainly they are willing to work in alignment with one another to primarily ensure that ordinary people, and we're all ordinary, We'll have a look at that story in some more detail later, as well as the numerous independent media reporters that are starting to stand up when it comes to the pandemic period.

00:30:28.000 And John Podesta's back in the news.

00:30:30.000 Let me know if you remember Last time you heard the name John Podesta.

00:30:35.000 Now obviously I went on Tucker Carlson a couple of days ago to talk about recent events and the way that it unfolded.

00:30:44.000 Here is a part of that conversation as well as a more detailed account on some of the agencies and organizations that participated in some pretty extraordinary events over the last couple of years.

00:30:57.000 Here's the news.

00:30:58.000 No, here's the effing news.

00:30:59.000 See you in a few seconds guys.

00:31:03.000 No.

00:31:06.000 So, I went on Tucker Carlson, the program, not the person, to talk about recent attacks and how a whole story is beginning to unravel.

00:31:14.000 Of course, you may already have seen the conversation I had on Tucker Carlson's network.

00:31:18.000 Likely you saw it on X or wherever you saw it.

00:31:21.000 It was an interesting conversation.

00:31:22.000 Let's have a look at it together and allow me to give you some additional information and show you how the timeline unfolded in a little more detail.

00:31:29.000 Back in September, media outlets around the world, almost all of them here in the West and the English-speaking world, ran headlines that shocked a lot of readers and viewers.

00:31:38.000 Russell Brand, the movie star, the comedian, now the podcaster, was a sex criminal. 0.81

00:31:44.000 A bad man! 1.00

00:31:46.000 A sex criminal! 0.99

00:31:47.000 A lot of people pointed out at the time, you're not in any mainstream movies, you're not on the TV, you're not in the media, you're a marginal figure.

00:31:54.000 How extraordinary this amount of time and attention is being spent.

00:31:57.000 It was astonishing, really.

00:31:58.000 Also, many journalists I respect asked, who do you think's behind this?

00:32:01.000 The military-industrial complex?

00:32:02.000 The pharmaceutical industry?

00:32:03.000 And I still feel, as I said on Tucker, it seems sort of grandiose to go Oh, yeah, the system's out to get me because it sort of seems somehow preposterous.

00:32:11.000 And in fact, it's beyond that.

00:32:13.000 In a way, these systems, as we are learning, are about data and information.

00:32:18.000 They don't care about an individual.

00:32:19.000 They just observe trends online.

00:32:22.000 This is information that we don't want talked about.

00:32:23.000 Deamplify that.

00:32:24.000 This is information we do want talked about.

00:32:26.000 And if you happen to be associated with one set of data, you are in serious trouble.

00:32:32.000 Now, none of the outlets ran the names of the accusers.

00:32:36.000 who had been sexually abused by Russell Brand, that was conspicuously absent.

00:32:40.000 But the judgment was overwhelming.

00:32:42.000 This is a very bad man, and he needs to be taken out of public view for the sake of the rest of us.

00:32:48.000 What was interesting about this is that, in fact, it was the final scene in a long movie that had been playing out for the preceding couple of years outside of public view.

00:33:01.000 This was an attempt to make Russell Brand shut up.

00:33:04.000 Russell Brand has views that diverge from those of most Western governments on big issues, not small things, big issues, questions of economic policy and war and peace.

00:33:13.000 And they decided we have to make this man be quiet.

00:33:15.000 Why Russell Brand?

00:33:17.000 Well, because in contrast to a lot of us who give our opinions for a living, Russell Brand had the capacity to win people over from the other side.

00:33:25.000 He hadn't spent a life identified with the far right, just the opposite.

00:33:29.000 Russell Brand was a man of the left, and to most people, a cultural figure.

00:33:33.000 Everyone knows who Russell Brand is.

00:33:35.000 And so he had the power, the capacity to persuade, and that was the threat.

00:33:41.000 So here's some additional information from our own internal research facilities.

00:33:46.000 March 2022, UK government organisation Coda Story publishes a story on its anti-disinformation newsletter linking Russell Brand broadcasts on Ukraine with pro-China propaganda.

00:33:56.000 The organisation is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, the non-profit under the State Department that was spun out of CIA initiatives in the 1980s.

00:34:04.000 You can go back and look at the content we were making in March 22.

00:34:07.000 A lot of it stands up pretty well actually.

00:34:09.000 We were asking questions about the handling of the pandemic worldwide.

00:34:13.000 We were also questioning the legitimacy of Western funding of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and its potential to escalate out of control.

00:34:20.000 Look at what's happened in the meantime.

00:34:22.000 It is extraordinary, isn't it, to see the UK government, CIA-inspired organisations, accusing an online public commentator of spreading Chinese propaganda.

00:34:31.000 To this day, I don't know what that might even mean.

00:34:34.000 I don't have strong views about China.

00:34:36.000 I certainly don't advocate for China's political policy or cultural policy.

00:34:39.000 I'm sort of a bit interested in Buddhism and ninjas.

00:34:43.000 That's about it.

00:34:44.000 September 2022.

00:34:45.000 Logically, AI is hired and paid $3.2 million by the Department of Digital Culture, Media and Sport.

00:34:51.000 Logically AI disputes Brown's criticism of the central bank digital currency and claims such concerns are just conspiracy theories without evidence.

00:35:00.000 Ironically providing us with some evidence that many of these theories have some validity.

00:35:04.000 We would have been talking about central currencies and their potential to be manipulated and to facilitate social credit score type systems where in conjunction potentially with passports for certain medical measures they could be used to for example Freeze people's bank accounts, as has happened already in China.

00:35:22.000 Or people who haven't taken certain medications could be refused access to certain venues, as has happened across the world already. 0.83

00:35:28.000 Or people applying for universities might not be permitted to get into that university, as recommended by Anthony Fauci when talking about universities and said when people are told they won't be able to join a certain university they'll lose their ideological bullshit.

00:35:41.000 So many of these stories, all of these stories in fact, are either based on publicly available content, the views of academics, and admittedly when it came to the pandemic, often the views of academics who themselves have been censored.

00:35:53.000 And much of the reporting that we've looked at indicates that I'm not alone in this kind of censorship, I'm just one of the more public and visible figures conveying information that is widely available.

00:36:01.000 Indeed, in the comments under here, many of you will be going You're going, I've known this for ages, won't you?

00:36:05.000 I knew this years ago, what took you so long to catch up?

00:36:07.000 When it comes to the Ukraine war, or the CIA, or Project Paperclip, or disinformation, or malinformation, or misinformation, there's no claim that this information is exclusively available here, just that clearly it must have caught the attention of people that care about it, and indeed we've made Freedom of Information Act a request to many of these organisations, and it's astonishing when you do it, they really drag their heels, they do not want to hand over the information about how extensively they've been spying on you, surveilling you.

00:36:32.000 Our concern about CBDCs to be dismissed as a conspiracy theory is yet more ridiculous when we know that during the trucker protest people did have their bank accounts frozen and it's since been decreed that that was illegal activity.

00:36:43.000 We were simply pointing out that CBDCs would make it even easier for governments to shut down private citizens' personal finances Then it already is.

00:36:53.000 We already know that many tech sites that handle finance and funding will cooperate with governments and we commented some years ago, I mean the comment ends up, you can go and look at it yourselves, we simply commented that this would be vulnerable to exploitation and I think that's pretty legitimate.

00:37:07.000 Indeed many of the stories that we cover are centrally about the transference of individual personal sovereignty To state or corporate interests, and often significantly partnerships between corporate and state interests, which is precisely what's happening here.

00:37:20.000 Groups like Logically AI or many of the other agencies that seem to be involved in just this story receive government funding, that's taxpayer funding, that's your pounds and dollars in taxes in order to spy on you, surveil you, and clearly, as you'll hear later, publicly attack you.

00:37:34.000 November 2022.

00:37:35.000 Think Tank, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue hired by the Department of Digital Culture, Media and Sport.

00:37:41.000 You've heard that name a couple of times now, and that is the department that Caroline Dynadge MP runs. 1.00

00:37:47.000 Caroline Dynadge is of course the Member of Parliament that petitioned X, Rumble, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram to demonetize, censor and control our content. 0.98

00:37:59.000 And in the case of YouTube, they responded positively.

00:38:02.000 This is the department that was receiving government funding to carry out this type of operation.

00:38:07.000 Think Tank, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue hired by the Department of Digital Culture, Media and Sport, targets Russell Brand as a conspirituality influencer that promotes anti-climate narratives.

00:38:07.000 November 2022.

00:38:19.000 Multiple UK newspaper articles, from newspapers including the Times, Telegraph and Independent, label Russell Brand a conspiracy theorist for his videos regarding big pharma vaccines and US government foreign policy and the military-industrial complex, although there were pieces also in the New York Times, the Atlantic and numerous other legacy media sites.

00:38:36.000 We also have reported somewhat extensively on the Trusted News Initiative, which are a conglomerate or cartel The days of legacy media companies competing with one another for scoops are long gone.

00:38:51.000 They are competing against independent media and essentially, as they themselves explicitly admit, attempting to choke out control and destroy independent media, usually through misinformation and malinformation type angles.

00:39:04.000 August 2023.

00:39:05.000 Public Good Partnerships, a content moderation non-profit funded by a lobby group for Pfizer and Moderna, repeatedly targets Brand as a conspiracy theorist for pointing out revolving door corruption in the UK and for discussing evidence that the US government misled the public about the justification for vaccine mandates.

00:39:21.000 Now, I know you're a well-informed audience, so you know how well undergirded those arguments are.

00:39:26.000 I also know that you are aware of that actual revolving door and you can actually see the faces and know the names of some of the people in that revolving door.

00:39:33.000 Jonathan Van Tam, who was significant in this country for advising people to take vaccines, now works at Moderna.

00:39:38.000 You'll be aware that at least two FDA officials now work The fact that there are financial ties and relationships between private corporations, in particular big pharma, military industrial complex, the financial industry, the energy industry and the state, is hardly a conspiracy theory.

00:39:55.000 You can observe that, you can track that, it's visible, it's understood, it's evident, it's obvious.

00:40:00.000 Nowhere in his reports on Bran did Moderna highlight any incorrect information, but the reports noted that they monitored Bran because he has a large platform with over 6.6... 6.7.

00:40:09.000 That's misinformation.

00:40:11.000 6.7 million YouTube subscribers and over 21 million followers across multiple social media platforms.

00:40:17.000 Moreover, his videos are widely circulated in anti-vaccine spaces, where he's viewed as a truth-teller and a threat to authority, and that Bran maintains support from Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk.

00:40:26.000 These are just a few of the peculiar investigations and operations involving the government, deep state, former employees, deep state inspired agency, big pharma funded organisations prior to the legacy media attacks in September.

00:40:41.000 September 2023.

00:40:43.000 Brand is subject to an investigation by the Times, the Sunday Times, and Channel 4's dispatches.

00:40:47.000 Themselves, legacy media organisations, cooperating in a shared endeavour.

00:40:51.000 YouTube demonetises Brand's channel without there being any content violations on the platform.

00:40:55.000 This is the first time a content creator has been financially punished by the company for reasons other than the videos published on the site.

00:41:02.000 Joe Ondrak, Logically AI's investigations head, provided different quotes to nearly half a dozen news outlets, including Vice, Wired, the BBC, And two separate articles in the Times that depicted Brand as a dangerous purveyor of misinformation who had finally been held to account.

00:41:18.000 So Joe Ondrak, Logically's head of investigation, is essentially a government funded proxy whose funding comes from you, the taxpayer, telling you that we convey dangerous information without ever telling you that you fund him telling you that via the government who plainly have an agenda.

00:41:38.000 I mean an agenda perhaps is a pejorative term because governments have to have policies, they have to have ideas, you have to decide whether or not you trust them, their ideas, their policies or agenda.

00:41:48.000 Logically claims that social media accounts trotting out the innocent until proven guilty refrain were among those perpetuating common myths about sexual assault.

00:41:56.000 The site published a follow-up video reiterating the claim that those seeking the presumption of innocence for brand, a principle dating back to the Magna Carta, were spreading a dangerous myth.

00:42:04.000 It's difficult for me to be objective on a subject that so plainly includes me and in this instance is about me.

00:42:10.000 But what I can safely say is not about me is the Magna Carta and the presumption of innocence.

00:42:15.000 Those are principles that have been valued since the dawn of civilization of this nature.

00:42:21.000 The idea that a government-funded agency, paid proxies that exist solely to crush dissent, would start to invite us to challenge some of our deepest-held beliefs about the judiciary, about democracy, about civilization, about sovereign individual rights, about the Magna Carta itself, shows you that what's being attempted is some kind of cultural reset that will play out way beyond this individual story.

00:42:43.000 For me, this is part of that Orwellian doublespeak trend that we're seeing everywhere.

00:42:46.000 When you see Jens Stoltenberg saying, we have to continue with the war, It's the only way to get peace.

00:42:52.000 That the meaning of language is being flipped before our very eyes.

00:42:56.000 A kind of psy-op against an entire population.

00:42:59.000 A kind of berserker principle, designed to leave us all collectively bewildered about what right and wrong are anymore.

00:43:06.000 I know you increasingly feel like you're not able to speak or open your mouth in case you say the wrong thing, that the rules might have changed.

00:43:11.000 Well, the rules are changing.

00:43:13.000 Now, innocent until proven guilty is being trotted out as a myth.

00:43:16.000 The Magna Carta, a foundational principle, a keystone of most democracies, along with the American Constitution and many other semi-sacred, if secular, pieces of documentation, are being regarded as ideas that can be dispensed with.

00:43:28.000 To what end?

00:43:29.000 To what purpose?

00:43:30.000 Ultimately, what it seems to me, is to legitimize control, to shut down dissent, to create a censorship industrial complex, that's already been created, but to ensure that the power So I didn't know any I just want to say I didn't know any of this and I was I experienced you because I didn't know you as a viewer and I remember thinking boy that is one of the most articulate critiques of the brand new war in Ukraine I had ever seen.

00:44:05.000 I saw one of your videos on the war in Ukraine and this was in the winter of 2022, two years ago,

00:44:11.000 and you were making kind of a remarkable case, not against the Ukrainian people and certainly not in favor

00:44:16.000 of Russia, but that there might be real implications for the West

00:44:19.000 if we get involved in a war that is not our own.

00:44:21.000 And you, I thought, said it so well.

00:44:23.000 Tucker Carlson himself had a very particular role in the culture up until recently.

00:44:27.000 He's someone that's worked on MSNBC.

00:44:28.000 He's also famously worked on Fox, becoming a phenomena on that channel.

00:44:32.000 And I, belonging to the cultural groups that you might assume I belong to, always was somewhat suspicious about Fox anchors.

00:44:38.000 Indeed, you can look on YouTube right now and see us deliberately riling Bill O'Reilly and deliberately trolling Fox as an institution and getting into it on a variety of subjects like war in the Middle East, the nature of their funding, their conservatism, all sorts of, I would say, anti-establishment attacks.

00:44:55.000 I've remained anti-establishment for many, many years.

00:44:58.000 Clearly Tucker Carlson is a person who's always had a particular perspective in the culture, but the culture has kind of moved around this outspoken pundit.

00:45:06.000 Tucker Carlson was kicked out of Fox News for a bunch of reasons that are still quite clandestine and ill-understood.

00:45:14.000 No one really knows why Tucker Carlson was sacked from Fox, but some people think it's because he became increasingly outspoken around war, specifically anti-war narratives.

00:45:21.000 And I'm still struck that claim the mantle of progressive or liberal don't identify that Tucker Carlson is perhaps one of the most outspoken critics of war, all war, And for me, the position of peace, of diplomacy, of ending war wherever possible ought to be a principle that wherever you are in the political spectrum, you aspire to.

00:45:41.000 The idea now that war is becoming normalized as a kind of progressive perspective shows us once again how meaning is being flipped and inverted.

00:45:49.000 War is good now. 1.00

00:45:50.000 War is peaceful. 1.00

00:45:52.000 War is necessary. 1.00

00:45:52.000 War is progressive. 1.00

00:45:54.000 In a sense, this conversation is a product of a cultural shift.

00:45:57.000 Figures that used to exist within the media mainstream are drifting into new spaces, and we're not alone in that.

00:46:04.000 Chris Hedges, a journalist who was once a prominent New York Times reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner, has been sort of cast out into the wilderness because of his anti-war views.

00:46:12.000 Glenn Greenwald, one of the most influential news reporters of our time, now only works in online spaces.

00:46:18.000 Essentially what happens, if you ask me, is legacy media spaces are entirely co-opted and essentially exist to amplify and normalize the message of the establishment.

00:46:26.000 Independent media can be representative of a wide variety of views.

00:46:29.000 Left, right, different cultural groups, Muslim, Judaic, Christian, secular, atheistic, materialistic, rational, all racial groups, different types of ideology.

00:46:38.000 What is emerging, if you ask me, is a kind of alliance on the periphery and a distrust of centralized organizations, whether they are state, corporate, or deep state.

00:46:48.000 And it's very interesting to see all of these organizations coalesce, stories that particularly relate to free speech.

00:46:53.000 Because as is often said, free speech is a fundamental principle.

00:46:56.000 Because if you can control the conversation, you can control ideas around war, you can control ideas around profit, you can control All ideas!

00:47:04.000 If people can't speak freely, for example around issues during the pandemic, then you achieve a consensus and you shut down the idea even that there are alternative perspectives and points of view.

00:47:13.000 In the end what you're left with is one homogenized blob of truth, virulently and vehemently controlled by centralized organizations that are struggling to work out how you can possibly control the narrative and vast populations At a time when we can all independently communicate with one another, exchange ideas, reach consensus, and oppose the establishment.

00:47:31.000 And that, I believe, is one of the defining, if not the defining, problem of our time.

00:47:35.000 What I missed, and I'm now seeing, is that in March of 2022, you were denounced by an organization connected directly to the US government as an agent of Chinese propaganda.

00:47:50.000 For your views on Ukraine, these in my reading of it, isn't it?

00:47:54.000 And we haven't, by the way, talked about this affair.

00:47:56.000 But my reading of it is these were the early seeds of a very deceptive plant that flowered more than a year later in September when you were accused of these crimes.

00:48:08.000 and demonetizing and censored as a result of that.

00:48:11.000 But looking back, so you were accused by a group called Coda Story.

00:48:17.000 It published a story on its anti-disinformation newsletter.

00:48:21.000 Now, Coda Story is connected to the UK government, but it's also connected to the CIA.

00:48:27.000 How does it make you feel to know that you were in the crosshairs

00:48:32.000 of two of the most powerful governments in the world, and they're intel agencies?

00:48:37.000 The UK government censorship that Tucker's referring to was driven by MP Dame Caroline Dainage, the head of the UK Parliament's Culture, Media and Sports Committee.

00:48:45.000 Dainage's husband was a commander in the British Army's PSYOPS division, the 77th Brigade, who were deployed straight from a tour of the Middle East, implementing behavioural change strategies against ISIS to countering dis- and misinformation during the COVID-19 crisis.

00:48:58.000 That sounds like such an anomalous jump and peculiar marriage.

00:49:01.000 Someone that works for the Department of Culture, Sports, Media and Entertainment, but ultimately advocates for censorship.

00:49:09.000 Indeed, it is she who sponsored the new online safety bill, which is alarmingly similar to numerous censorship bills across the world.

00:49:15.000 In Brazil, in Ireland, across the EU, United States, Canada's one's already been implemented.

00:49:20.000 And it's an extraordinary detail that her husband is a military That extraordinary though it sounds is not an anomalous or even particularly unusual journey.

00:49:40.000 It is very common these days for techniques and ideas that are developed to counter foreign enemies to be utilized with domestic populations.

00:49:48.000 What essentially appears to be happening is Our independent thought, our freedom, our ability to communicate, our ability to cultivate relationships, develop ideas and importantly oppose authority is being regarded as a type of terrorism, certainly at very least a type of threat.

00:50:05.000 This is obviously a story that's that's continuing to unfold and that I'm just a small part

00:50:08.000 of. That's why I'm very grateful to have conversations with people like Jay Bhattacharya

00:50:11.000 from Stanford who was subject to the same kind of scrutiny from

00:50:14.000 the same organizations. Journalists like Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger

00:50:17.000 who report on the censorship industrial complex and why I'm

00:50:20.000 very keen to cultivate and create relationships with people from across

00:50:23.000 the political spectrum because I'm beginning to think that spectrum is fracturing

00:50:27.000 into a new prism of potential new light, of new relationships between

00:50:31.000 different Let me know what you think in the chat.

00:50:33.000 ideological factions that previously would have been opposed to one another,

00:50:37.000 but are increasingly realizing now that we are at a unique tipping point.

00:50:40.000 And unless we find new ways to resist these globalist forces together,

00:50:44.000 we are one by one or in vast numbers collectively going to be facing tyranny

00:50:49.000 such as we have never seen before, all the while being told it's for our convenience and our safety.

00:50:54.000 But that's just what I think. Let me know what you think in the chat.

00:50:56.000 See you in a second. 0.99

00:50:57.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:51:03.000 Yes, hello there. 0.99

00:51:05.000 Great comments from you lot.

00:51:06.000 Thanks very much.

00:51:07.000 Go on, get in there.

00:51:07.000 Cheers.

00:51:10.000 Some of the comments I liked.

00:51:10.000 I saw someone go, um, unflattering sitting position.

00:51:15.000 That's that low angle, man.

00:51:16.000 That's that low angle on Tucker's camera.

00:51:19.000 Then, um, also I like the comment.

00:51:21.000 Someone said, has anyone got Russell's ear?

00:51:23.000 You've all got my ear.

00:51:24.000 We can talk.

00:51:24.000 We can communicate.

00:51:25.000 This is it.

00:51:26.000 We're coming together.

00:51:27.000 Huckfeed says, malinformation equals inconvenient truths.

00:51:31.000 You got it, baby.

00:51:32.000 Starseed3694, the system is not broken.

00:51:35.000 It's operating exactly as designed.

00:51:37.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, pawpaw7, how can people work to take away our freedoms after all the people that died protecting them?

00:51:44.000 Yeah, that ain't fair.

00:51:47.000 I'm thinking of shaving my down, just having a moustache.

00:51:55.000 What do you think?

00:51:56.000 Is that a mistake?

00:51:56.000 Is it a mistake?

00:51:57.000 I'm thinking about it.

00:51:58.000 I'm looking at my little friends over there.

00:52:00.000 I love you, Russell.

00:52:01.000 Thanks.

00:52:02.000 I love you as well.

00:52:02.000 I love all of you lot.

00:52:03.000 Remember, if you are an Awake and Wonder, you can go straight from this to watching our conversation with Tucker.

00:52:08.000 It's up now.

00:52:09.000 As well as fantastic conversations with legit journalists like Michael Schellenberg.

00:52:12.000 I had a brilliant conversation with him.

00:52:14.000 I'm not sure if that one's up yet.

00:52:15.000 It's a beautiful conversation.

00:52:16.000 I think it's on the show tomorrow and it'll be up on Locals in Fall pretty soon.

00:52:22.000 It's pretty good.

00:52:23.000 It's pretty... Mustache.

00:52:24.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:52:25.000 Exalted flesh.

00:52:26.000 I'm thinking about getting a mustache.

00:52:27.000 Stay exactly as you are.

00:52:27.000 No!

00:52:29.000 Spirit of the age.

00:52:30.000 Corn Pop did nothing wrong.

00:52:32.000 Fair enough.

00:52:33.000 I'm a big fan of Corn Pop myself.

00:52:36.000 Schellenberger's up and on there.

00:52:36.000 It's on there now.

00:52:38.000 Hey, so... Alright, we've got a few things to show you.

00:52:41.000 There's that Michael O'Keefe thing that's pretty funny.

00:52:43.000 You know Michael O'Keefe because he did that Black Rock move, didn't he? 0.82

00:52:47.000 Where he... Oh, sorry, James O'Keefe.

00:52:49.000 Yeah, he did that thing with Black Rock where he sort of got someone that had been working... No, first it was Pfizer, wasn't it?

00:52:54.000 He got someone at Pfizer to go, yeah, no, we're doing all sorts of crazy stuff.

00:52:57.000 Now, what's funny about this is he's gone deep cover himself.

00:53:01.000 By putting on some glasses and talking in a slightly camp accent, and it's very funny.

00:53:08.000 It's very funny, but I guess he's basically getting people saying, what did he get them to admit to?

00:53:13.000 It's like spying and surveillance. 0.96

00:53:20.000 Oh, mental decline of your president.

00:53:22.000 Well, that's a groundbreaking story, because I've seen that Joe Biden, and he looks like he's in pretty good control of his faculties to me, as long as you don't ask him to leave a stage or talk.

00:53:31.000 So you're pretty high up in the government.

00:53:35.000 Yeah, I'm fairly high up.

00:53:36.000 I'm good at keeping secrets, and so I manage two federal agencies, the State Department and USAID.

00:53:42.000 So when you say security, like you're...

00:53:47.000 That's James O'Keefe.

00:53:48.000 All he's doing is wearing some glasses and going, so you're pretty high up.

00:53:52.000 And I've actually seen James O'Keefe in Oklahoma.

00:53:55.000 And he's a very good actor and singer.

00:53:57.000 James, work harder.

00:53:59.000 He'll come on the show.

00:54:00.000 He'll come on.

00:54:01.000 You know?

00:54:02.000 Where did you get your shirt from?

00:54:03.000 I can't remember the brand.

00:54:04.000 I'll show you.

00:54:04.000 I'll tell you in a minute.

00:54:06.000 So it's pretty funny.

00:54:08.000 Protecting the networks of the federal agencies.

00:54:08.000 Let's watch a bit more.

00:54:11.000 You look like Tintin!

00:54:13.000 You give all your information to him.

00:54:15.000 The mission is to protect information.

00:54:20.000 Russell, please let people know not everyone in the world is evil.

00:54:22.000 Most people are truly good.

00:54:23.000 It's important to remember that.

00:54:24.000 Most people are beautiful.

00:54:26.000 I once had a long conversation with Brene Brown and she said that in spite of having once worked as a social worker and seeing levels of depravity and abuse that were heartbreaking, She ultimately, after much contemplation and reflection, determined that everyone was really doing their best.

00:54:42.000 If we can, in a Christian way, think of and love our enemies.

00:54:46.000 All of us love the people we love.

00:54:47.000 If we can't love our enemies, it's not very Christian, guys. 0.64

00:54:50.000 It's not very Christian. 0.99

00:54:52.000 Glasses like Clark Kent.

00:54:53.000 Funny you say that.

00:54:54.000 Funny you say that.

00:54:55.000 Let's have a look at a bit more of James O'Keefe.

00:54:58.000 We are like the President's voice when we go into meetings in terms of discussing and promoting the President's priorities.

00:55:11.000 Is he going to be the nominee?

00:55:13.000 Yes.

00:55:15.000 And she will be the Vice President nominee.

00:55:18.000 There was a debate about removing her from the ticket.

00:55:21.000 I don't think I could do one of them deep covers because I think I'd feel too bad because like that guy's quite nice isn't he?

00:55:28.000 Like he's sweet but that guy's going oh my god you're not going to believe what actually what's going on with Kamala Harris.

00:55:36.000 I think I'd be like oh no oh god I'm actually not even gay I'm wearing these glasses oh They quit on her en masse. 1.00

00:55:43.000 But with him, I mean, he's got dementia.

00:55:50.000 He's definitely slowing down.

00:55:51.000 They know that he has those issues.

00:55:53.000 I think so.

00:55:54.000 They're not going to say it publicly.

00:55:57.000 And same thing with Carla Harris. 1.00

00:55:58.000 She's not popular, but you can't remove the person.

00:56:02.000 So he's a cyber security policy analyst and foreign affairs executive.

00:56:06.000 Let's get James O'Keefe on again.

00:56:07.000 He's funny, isn't he, man?

00:56:09.000 I'm sorry.

00:56:12.000 I see.

00:56:14.000 I'm sorry.

00:56:16.000 How would you spin that? 0.99

00:56:18.000 People would be like, what the fuck? 1.00

00:56:20.000 Like, she's a woman and she's multiracial. 1.00

00:56:22.000 I think that they're really concerned about us.

00:56:24.000 But they won't say it.

00:56:26.000 I guess if they say it publicly... Correct.

00:56:28.000 Can't say it publicly.

00:56:31.000 I hope this guy doesn't lose his job.

00:56:33.000 I know that's the sort of thing I think.

00:56:34.000 I don't want that guy to lose his job.

00:56:35.000 He's sweet.

00:56:36.000 They can't say it publicly.

00:56:37.000 They've got to throw the line.

00:56:37.000 No, no.

00:56:41.000 But they won't say it publicly.

00:56:42.000 Can't say it publicly.

00:56:42.000 Correct.

00:56:45.000 Hey, so here are some of the memes that have emerged from that.

00:56:47.000 🎵 Wait, I knew I recognised you from somewhere.

00:57:00.000 Hey, I know you lot love this because White House senior advisor John Podesta, whose massive batch of WikiLeaks emails put Hillary Clinton on the back hoof, is replacing John Kerry as Joe Biden's climate czar.

00:57:17.000 He's back in the big time.

00:57:18.000 You know when you all heard of that guy.

00:57:21.000 John Podesta.

00:57:22.000 The White House senior adviser John Podesta will add international climate policy to his job responsibilities, replacing the special climate envoy John Kerry as the top US official on international climate issues, the White House said on Wednesday.

00:57:34.000 Kerry announced in mid-January that he would step down from the climate job to work on Joe Biden's re-election campaign.

00:57:39.000 He would take over Kerry's responsibilities, though not his title, when he departs.

00:57:43.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:57:45.000 I know what you little think.

00:57:45.000 That's what's happening.

00:57:47.000 Yep, I'm seeing it.

00:57:48.000 There's a lot of talk about pizza.

00:57:48.000 I'm seeing it.

00:57:50.000 Make him say we're Madeleine, Mike.

00:57:52.000 All right.

00:57:53.000 Oh, Christ, you little man. 1.00

00:57:54.000 You're mental. 1.00

00:57:56.000 Have a look. 0.93

00:57:57.000 The reason we wanted to show this really is because of that bit when John Kerry was asked about the private jet.

00:58:05.000 It's one of my favorite.

00:58:06.000 This is one of my favorite moments of watching a politician confronted with home troops ever, I think.

00:58:10.000 I just don't agree with your facts, which began with a presentation of one of the most outrageously persistent lies that I hear, which is this private jet.

00:58:20.000 We don't own a private jet.

00:58:21.000 I don't own a private jet.

00:58:22.000 I personally have never owned a private jet.

00:58:24.000 Pretty clear on the subject of private jets, right?

00:58:27.000 He's not ambiguous.

00:58:28.000 He doesn't have one.

00:58:29.000 He's never owned one. 0.99

00:58:30.000 And obviously, it's pretty stupid to talk about coming in a private jet from the State Department up here. 0.95

00:58:35.000 Mr. Secretary, do you stand by that testimony that you've never owned or... I personally... ...your family, by your family... I personally... Oh, uh-oh! 0.96

00:58:42.000 Personally, yes.

00:58:43.000 My wife owned a plane and she sold the plane. 1.00

00:58:45.000 You flew on that plane?

00:58:47.000 Not in a number of years, but I have flown on it, sure.

00:58:50.000 Oh, God.

00:58:51.000 Oh, no.

00:58:52.000 John Kerry's sort of like one of the ones that sort of seems like he might be alright.

00:58:55.000 He's like, oh, no, no, here we go.

00:58:57.000 Oh, yeah, no, I do own a private jet.

00:58:59.000 It's the system.

00:59:00.000 It's the system itself that needs to be radically changed.

00:59:03.000 There's no point obsessing...

00:59:05.000 Over the individuals that occupy it, what's required is radical systemic change and total empowerment for you lot. 1.00

00:59:14.000 I am Stevo, fuck you Lurch. 0.99

00:59:16.000 A more succinct and damning comment there from him. 0.99

00:59:19.000 Hey, you know we did a bunch of stories based on the reporting of Lee Fang about Moderna spying on Me and Jay Bacharia and Michael Schellenberger.

00:59:32.000 I think Megyn Kelly, well I know Megyn Kelly, was also spied on by Moderna, surveilled, because of her telling, because of, I think she was sharing personal stories about her own experience with the medications.

00:59:46.000 It's pretty extraordinary, yeah, Moderna, no, I see you, UFO limited hangout, I see you.

00:59:51.000 Thanks to Lee Fang, who did an investigation, and he has revealed that Moderna was very, very upset, among other things, about the fact that I said on this show that after I had gotten my third COVID shot, my booster, which you needed in order to operate in New York to do anything, I developed a positive on an autoimmune test that my general practitioner gave me, and then I- Mental, because New York, they went for it.

01:00:18.000 New York, you couldn't go anywhere, it was basically a mandate.

01:00:21.000 Had to go to a rheumatologist and all this stuff.

01:00:23.000 I reveal it on the show.

01:00:25.000 Some people saying that Lee Fang's got better hair than Gareth Roy in the chat.

01:00:28.000 Lee Fang does have good hair.

01:00:30.000 Gareth Roy's hair is pretty good as well.

01:00:31.000 I can see it just above the camera and maybe you should seek him out in the reflection.

01:00:36.000 I got targeted by Moderna who is very worried that This would add to the growing concern around autoimmune disorders following COVID-19 vaccinations.

01:00:47.000 They're admitting internally that it's a problem, but they're upset that I am talking about it and Alex Berenson and Russell Brand and Michael Schellenberger and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya are talking about it, Glenn, because they don't want it discussed and the mainstream media outlets were only too happy to comply.

01:01:04.000 Hey Russ, you and Dan Bongino running the same clip today.

01:01:07.000 I love Dan Bongino, but I've not had a chance to see his show today, so we do not know.
