00:02:27.000Thanks for joining me today for stay free with Russell Brand.
00:02:32.000But for how much longer exactly will we be free with increasingly novel ways of imposing lockdowns being suggested, even including now energy lockdowns.
00:02:45.000Some people say look at the result of an event and then you will understand what the event was about.
00:02:51.000So we're asking you today: are we in the midst of chaotic and escalating geopolitical matters, or more terrifyingly, the midst of a global conspiracy, the result of which will always be to further regulate populations and restrict individual freedoms on the basis of health and safety?
00:03:10.000Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.
00:03:13.000If you're watching this anywhere other than Rumble or indeed Rumble Premium, click the link in the description.
00:03:18.000Join us over on Rumble where we can speak so freely.
00:03:21.000It's terrifying to the mainstream media.
00:03:48.000This was the Donald Trump social media post, Truth Social, that for a lot of people made them think that maybe...
00:03:55.000I suppose we're starting with, I suppose, the idea that potentially...
00:04:01.000One of the ways we knew that people were definitely dying in an unusual way subsequent to the vaccine rollout...
00:04:09.000and I'm not suggesting there's a definite and definitive connection between excess deaths and mass vaccination.
00:04:15.000But one of the ways we knew that people were dying in a different way in larger numbers in previously unimpacted age groups after the vaccine rollout was insurance companies had to change their premiums for people in their 40s and 50s.
00:04:29.000They had to suddenly pay more because, well, people were dying that hadn't been dying before.
00:04:34.000So finance often shows truths that you won't get in narrativized news simply because you can't argue with money in the same way.
00:04:43.000And when it starts to impact and inflict results on corporations or markets, then those results are easy or easier to measure.
00:05:03.000And Massey there, who is Iranian, still safe and I would say looking quite optimistic because it turns out Iran are quite good at wars.
00:05:13.000And think that maybe this war might be coming to an end.
00:05:16.000At the very least, it had a big impact on markets.
00:05:19.000This is just the volumes of people going into that oil market and kind of for the most part selling after that Donald Trump post.
00:05:27.000You can see there's this real spike in activity, a lot of people going in there kind of this frenzy and that's the kind of flip side of prices.
00:06:06.000Now it's unclear whether it's just an individual or whether it's a kind of group of people but what you do know from just imputing what the potential value, the notional value of those trades just on oil would be it is staggering amounts of money, life-changing amounts of money.
00:06:33.000Certainly this war has already become complicated.
00:06:35.000Tel Aviv taking many more strikes than was anticipated.
00:06:38.000A lot of people surprised by Iran's ability to withstand and inflict damage and their control over vital regions for trade and transportation.
00:06:52.000Some people believe this war is not going how it was anticipated to go.
00:06:57.000One thing though, I suppose is predictable if you pay attention to media in the independent space is that cataclysmic events and crisis events will always be advantageous to elite groups and institutions.
00:07:12.000Put simply, what's a crisis to you might not necessarily be a crisis to everyone, but an opportunity in the same way that I suppose that graph demonstrated that this war with advanced knowledge is a trading opportunity.
00:07:26.000Well in the same way if your business is regulation, if indeed there is a grand vision, a 2030 type plan to implement mass control, digital ID, currencies that are centrally controlled and bio data used to manipulate and control populations, then anything that's severe and justifies regulation is a potential opportunity.
00:07:47.000A lot of people think that this war will result in energy lockdowns.
00:07:52.000Let's have a look at some of the available evidence or at least speculation that's causing people to talk about that.
00:08:00.000First of all, this is a video from Cuba where energy blackouts and energy management and energy lockdowns are already in practice, I understand.
00:08:09.000So this is Cuba and there is no electricity anywhere because there's no oil, there's no energy.
00:08:31.000Okay, so it's like possible, it's plausible.
00:08:34.000Did you hear that detail about the capture of Maduro from Venezuela?
00:08:38.000The deep state organizations were able to shut down the electricity grid in Caracas for a few moments to facilitate Delta Forces easier capture of Maduro.
00:08:49.000And do you know this crazy fact that the CIA manufacture valves, like they have valve factories all over the world that just are like sort of neutral factories making valves that are sort of funded by CIA carve-outs.
00:09:05.000So these valves are put into institutional electricity places and water places so that at some point in the future, if they need to shut down the electricity in some Latin American or Middle Eastern country or maybe even European countries, the CIA can go, yeah, do that thing with the valves.
00:09:22.000And all the valves just suddenly switch off.
00:09:24.000That's how kind of deep and pervasive it is.
00:09:27.000And even I suppose to watch that speculative bit of news shows you, does it show you that in the last five, ten years, the way that news is produced and the way that news is discussed has to alter?
00:09:39.000When you have outliers, the mainstream have to adapt and emulate in order to stay relevant, otherwise the outlier will become the dominant mainstream.
00:09:49.000So even in the way now that on YouTube, BBC, CNN, MSNBC, Sky are the trusted news sources, they've recognized that they're online, analog, or even digital, their audiences through conventional television viewing is irrelevant now.
00:10:08.000Obviously, luckily for them, Google Alphabet or a reliable partner will promote what they would call trusted or mainstream media news sources over independent news and journalism.
00:10:19.000Of course, saying that misinformation and malinformation is a threat.
00:10:21.000But once you understand they don't understand you, they don't care about you being misinformed or they don't care about you having misinformation.
00:10:31.000What they care about you having is independent information.
00:10:35.000And I don't know, man, it seems that that is already happening.
00:10:38.000It's been disseminated, it's been proliferated.
00:10:40.000People in significant numbers don't think in accordance with the way the mainstream would have you think.
00:10:46.000But there's an interesting story about this a little later because there's dramatizations of that very phenomena coming out of my country, the UK.
00:10:54.000But they still are able to significantly control us.
00:10:57.000One of the things I saw recently is that even post the Epstein revelations where like a significant number of people now believe that stuff like ritualized murder of children, sexual abuse, pedophilia is practiced by members of elite and powerful institutions, people still are willing to pay their taxes.
00:11:16.000And I think until there's meaningful resistance, and meaningful resistance means significant disobedience and non-participation in controlled social systems, until there's meaningful disobedience, I reckon this will continue.
00:11:31.000I feel like we're experiencing an escalation.
00:11:34.000Like, has it got like the sort of clown world escalation?
00:11:38.000Dan Bongino, the beloved of Rumble, goes in and his deputy head of the FBI comes back and is at Rumble again.
00:11:44.000The Israel situation seems to be getting more and more nefarious and terrifying and expansive and concerning.
00:11:52.000People like openly discuss now demonic forces.
00:11:56.000And yet, largely, you look out your window, people are just carrying on, pulling over at service stations, paying whatever they're asked to pay for gas, you know, participating in award ceremonies.
00:12:09.000In short, the Bread and Circuses show is going on.
00:14:07.000It's hitting real folks like Jake right in this sexy truck hole.
00:14:12.000As transportation costs rise, everything from store-bought goods to food is getting more expensive.
00:14:17.000Fertilizers, which are critical for farming.
00:14:19.000Yeah, I was talking to a farmer the other day in Indiana and he told me, yeah, we're concerned the fertilizers.
00:14:25.000I bet there is a way of domestically producing fertilizers.
00:14:29.000I bet there's ways of handling all this stuff domestically.
00:14:31.000And I bet the reason that it's an international business is, you know, because of profit.
00:14:35.000And also move from, also move through hummuz are becoming harder to source, putting food security at risk as well.
00:14:43.000The International Energy Agency has replaced a plan titled, The International Energy Agency, who none of us had ever heard of, of now in charge.
00:14:51.000Like, I'm going to start one of these things.
00:16:06.000Governments may frame it as energy security, but the outcome could be restricted movement without permission, much like a lockdown.
00:16:13.000Find out who funds the like how long is it?
00:16:16.000Bill Gates donates 40% of the IEA's annual requirements.
00:16:25.000But the outcome could be restricted, much like a lockdown.
00:16:27.000If oil prices continue rising, this plan could roll out across multiple countries and may eventually evolve into long-term digital systems that regulate vehicle use, travel, and even household energy consumption.
00:16:40.000There's nothing that can happen that don't result in some sort of restriction and lockdown.
00:16:44.000I suppose what it might be is mass communication and the miracles of technology that we all largely take for granted by their nature mean that centralization is less legitimate and required because you can organize stuff.
00:17:01.000Just think about your own personal use of Facebook and your own telephone devices and how it simplifies organization planning and communication.
00:17:10.000Well obviously that's happening everywhere at scale.
00:17:12.000So to continue to justify control and use these very same devices so that we're all sort of on a bracelet on a tag, centrally controlled and malleable, you have to increase the temperature in the pan.
00:17:29.000They were able to ring about lots of measures of control and social change that would never be reversed.
00:17:34.000People work from home now generally and like in much larger numbers than would ever have been anticipated or you could have ever brought about through suggestion.
00:18:34.000I suppose my only real disappointment is the lack of significant change under this administration.
00:18:42.000And perhaps that's the trend in independent media, isn't it?
00:18:45.000Whether it's figures like Tucker Carlton or Candice Owens or Ben Shapiro, one by one, this coterie of packed together, independent, right-wing media commentators who, in a sense, forged a new space which was attacking the media, attacking in particular liberal democratic media and the left, saying they were kind of fake and phony and all of their posturing and compassion was really whether they knew it or not in certain cultural spaces.
00:19:13.000I'm talking about say Hollywood or social justice warrior types.
00:19:17.000What they were actually participating in is legitimizing more and more centralized control.
00:19:22.000As a result of the success of this new media, we have Donald Trump in government and Hegzf in the Department of War and man, great victories like Secretary Kennedy in the HHS.
00:19:34.000But what we have more broadly still too, though, is the general recognizable trends towards the kind of political situations that you would have got anyway had Kamala Harris been your president right now.
00:19:48.000If Kamala Harris was your president right now, you'd probably be in a pretty similar situation with regard to the single issue of Iran.
00:19:58.000Would anyone really take issue with that?
00:20:00.000And that's because it appears, and we've known this for some time because of documentation.
00:20:06.000One thing that comes to mind is that Kissinger document where Kissinger said, you know, this is the way that we want the next 20 years to go or manifest destiny in the immediate aftermath of 9-11.
00:20:16.000We're going to attack these countries, Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Iran.
00:20:20.000And I always wondered how they'd get around to Venezuela and Iran.
00:20:30.000I don't know how we can, you know, keep it up, like keep an erection, a stiffy, a hard on for this stuff when it's in a way entirely not only predictable, but has been predicted and foreseen and described by as mundane and bureaucratic resources as the ones I just mentioned, that manifest destiny document from the Cheney, Wolfovitz, Rumsfeld era,
00:20:59.000or more shamanic and poetic resources like Alex Jones, who, you know, he's got a different kind of tombre, but he's right about a lot of things and has been right about a lot of things for a long time.
00:21:14.000So now, will you be sheltering from an L shock, from an oil shock?
00:21:22.000Here's, this is a former U.S. housing official, Catherine Fitz, warning that we could be on the verge of a major famine, I suppose, as a result of these transport issues and a digital control grid.
00:22:15.000So if you look at the material coming through that's critical to chip production, the material coming through the straits that's critical to fertilizer and food, and the material coming through that's critical to energy, you're talking about massive dislocation of the global economy.
00:22:33.000And if it goes on for long enough, I mean, we have Peru, Thailand, other people talking about doing COVID kind of shutdowns to save gas and fuel.
00:23:26.000I can't tell whether you're looking at massive incompetence on the basis of the US or you're looking at an intentional desire to shut down.
00:24:28.000Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
00:24:32.000So Bill Gates has got a new, well at least has funded a new micro needle patch implant that installs both mRNA and quantum dot markings into the bottle.
00:24:43.000Now I know body, excuse me, I know what mRNA is and so do you because of the pandemic.
00:24:49.000I don't know what quantum dot markings even means and I'm curious as to how it relates to this story other than in the general sort of timbre and flavor of Middle Eastern conflict escalating, surprising people, having peculiar occultist connotations, serious sense that the nexus of world power is beginning to hum and throb.
00:25:16.000There are relationships between Iran, Russia and China that we don't fully understand.
00:25:21.000My best hope, I suppose, is that we still live in a kind of bipolar, terrifying term generally, or tripolar world where China, Russia and the United States have covert agreements about how they're going to carve the planet up into iterations of new empire.
00:25:39.000The United States have Venezuela nicely secured so to a degree the oil can keep flowing.
00:26:01.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat and let me know if this would be a good time to start taking a Bill Gates funded quantum dot marking injection.
00:26:11.000I mean I don't even know what this is.
00:27:55.000Do you know, when I came to this country, I didn't realize the significance of weapon ownership and the Second Amendment.
00:28:02.000Now I do, because it changes people to know that you're armed.
00:28:07.000To know that you're armed, you think, well, if it all comes down to it, I can at least have a gunfight on the way out.
00:28:14.000Whereas in the UK, you're already in the situation they want you in, which is without any defense.
00:28:21.000They can and are just doing what they want.
00:28:23.000I mean, when you see stuff at British police, except for that very good-looking police woman that actually did seem to know the law quite recently and went, hey, no, they are people are allowed to protest in that way.
00:28:34.000You see them, and they're such extraordinarily exhausted, peculiar bureaucrats.
00:28:41.000They feel like their houses aren't nice enough, that their washing machines aren't working correctly, just wearied and sort of broken and laden.
00:28:54.000You need to be in control of your own individual life, in control of your own family, under the authority of higher purpose, a higher purpose ordained by God.
00:29:04.000If you have not really got that, you ain't got a great deal.
00:29:07.000The whole house of cards is coming to tumbling down.
00:29:10.000But don't worry, because Bill Gates is ready to inject you with some lipid nanoparticles, which sounds to me like a pretty good description of his sperm.
00:29:21.000Particles, and some are very self-assembly.
00:29:24.000They already have the vaccine passport applications in place, right?
00:30:15.000It all seems to be moving in a terrifying direction.
00:30:19.000I had a quick look during one of those videos to see what their specific scriptural reference to crows above Tel Aviv was because there was no Tel Aviv, or at least it wouldn't have been called Tel Aviv.
00:30:28.000And it's getting increasingly difficult to track what Israel is and what Israel will be in a few years and where the limits of Israel are.
00:30:35.000It's one of the most controversial things you can actually discuss.
00:31:30.000They don't sow or reap or store away in barns.
00:31:34.000And yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.
00:31:36.000Are you not much more valuable than they?
00:31:38.000Reminds me that all of our culture is instituted, instituted, manufactured, laying upon the earth.
00:31:46.000And when I find myself excited, as I sometimes might by a cultural artifact, less and less these days, less and less do I spend time thinking about WEST HAM, United or Morrissey, and like, whenever my children are interacting with the culture via some screen now, I'm always a little concerned and like, do you know what I've had to tell them?
00:32:08.000I told my daughter, my nine-year-old daughter, the culture is not your friend.
00:32:11.000Of course, our family very specifically, but in general, in general, you might not know yet that the culture hates you.
00:32:19.000You might have no need for that, but when you see today's stories, how something as vast and wide and yet remote still for those of us in western countries as this escalating Iranian war if that's what we're calling it will encroach upon your life, will affect the way you move and what it costs you to move will likely be at some point, if not this conflict,
00:32:47.000then another one implemented to augur new controls, new, established and already discussed controls.
00:32:56.000You can see the silhouette of your dreadful future, a one world government where everybody is marked, like it says in scripture, with the mark of the beast, unable to buy or sell without that mark, unable to travel without that mark, it's not gonna seem diabolical.
00:33:37.000Did you not note, when looking at that image of people scanning the quantum dots over the green ray scanner, how banal it is, how anodyne it is, how clear and crisp?
00:33:52.000But we all know that there's always been barbarians.
00:33:55.000Outside the citadel there will always be a surf class, a professional class running ai ensuring that sewage pumps are functioning and that the robot armies are well kept and well kept for.
00:34:09.000But what will we be part of the barbarian hordes out in wastelands?
00:34:13.000What will we be wiped out by some virus as yet being devised in some far flung lab somewhere?
00:34:22.000What will become of our many children?
00:34:24.000What will become of our varied and imagined futures if we don't found ourselves and ground ourselves in something more powerful than the mind of man and something more powerful than the institutions we have lain upon the earth, engraved in silver and gold and with Wood and with various materials, with our own hands, and that we now bow down before and worship.
00:34:45.000Perhaps we must consider the lilies they're taken care of, consider the birds of the fields.
00:34:51.000Perhaps we would be better off to remain connected to that which is beyond the quantum, the mind of God, accessible to you and me right now.
00:35:24.000Rumble is the only company that stood the test of time and they deserve our support.
00:35:28.000On one side, Rumble is challenging big tech censorship, and now on the other side, they've introduced something that will give us protection from big banks shutting us off.
00:35:37.000Banks can cancel our accounts, freeze our cards.
00:36:09.000It's not only a wallet to buy and save, it also allows you to support your favorite creators by easily tipping them with a click of a button.
00:36:14.000There'll be no fees when you tip my channel or others and we actually receive the tip instantly, unlike other platforms where we have to wait for payouts.
00:36:20.000Support my show and other creators by clicking the tip button on my Rumble channel.
00:39:38.000I mean break down these invisible webs that are laying upon our collective freedom so that we can again breathe freely as the Lord intended.
00:40:03.000You live in this space and maybe you didn't.
00:40:04.000Maybe you saw content about Louis Theroux into the Manosphere.
00:40:08.000Now, Louis Theroux was a very innovative journalist and broadcaster.
00:40:12.000He was on, Michael Moore launched his career.
00:40:15.000He used to do a sort of a 10-minute bit on that.
00:40:16.000Then he had his various Louis Theroux weird weekends where he spoke, first of all, to weird subcultural groups like the Klan or Ku Klux Klan, I mean, or survivalists, or sort of like, I don't know, weird little groups of magicians or porn actors or then kitsch kooky celebrities like Paul, you know, like sort of weird naff celebrities.
00:40:33.000It'd be like someone like that lad off different strokes in your country.
00:40:37.000Remember lad off different strokes, little black.
00:41:02.000Anyway, so Louis Thoreau makes kooky documentaries.
00:41:07.000Interestingly, he's made a documentary about male social media influencers, including HHS Tiki Toky, a British content creator.
00:41:17.000He spoke to some people that we know, particularly through Dave, Justin Wallet.
00:41:22.000He's like a sort of an affiliate and friend of the Tate Brothers.
00:41:26.000And what was Fass and Myron, whose show I've been on a couple of times from Fresh and Fit or Fit and Fresh, you know?
00:41:32.000Anyway, what was pretty interesting about this whole thing is that there was a moment where Louis Theroux, in his own way, represented a new voice in media.
00:41:43.000now he is the voice of traditional media so this show into the manosphere is in effect about new media which has is very sort of raw and old media which can that has something i'm struggling to think of anything positive about it anymore But I must have something good about it.
00:42:01.000I mean, like, it's done all of the great things it's done.
00:42:08.000I'll think something before the end of the show.
00:42:10.000Even though primarily the function of mainstream media now is to ensure that you remain entirely ensnared in a web of deception that facilitates your ongoing ignorance, you can make laments, at least, about some of the participants in what here is called the manosphere, i.e. that they still remain sovereign in self, not sovereign in God, not subject to God.
00:42:32.000But if you think the solution to your problems is like get a bunch of cars and sleep with loads of women, then you're in for a succession of terrible shocks if you are one of the few people that achieve those goals at some point in your life.
00:42:49.000So even though I really like the fact that independent media is causing some chaos and disruption, I too have comparable questions and concerns about a modality and mindset that's about subjugation and denigration.
00:43:07.000However, many of the people in that space would say that isn't their position.
00:43:11.000I know that Myron Gaines felt he was treated very badly by Louis Theroux and indeed he was able to provide a piece of material that showed this is what they did on the documentary.
00:43:22.000Look at what actually got shot, including all of the pieces that they cut in order to create a somewhat negative impression of him and his girlfriend in this particular instance.
00:43:30.000So let's have a look at the manosphere.
00:43:32.000Let's have a look at this clash of cultures.
00:43:34.000Let's try and understand if there's anything from it that we can learn from in a valuable way.
00:43:41.000We'll start with Myron Gaines who released his own video demonstrating how poorly he felt he was treated by the Netflix documentary by Louis Faroux.
00:43:51.000Although my favorite bit was there was one bit where one of the mates of that HHS Tiki Toky does a sort of a paedophile hunter show where you know those shows where people hunt paedophiles and he was talking to Louis Faroux like on a square and some lads went by and went, is he a paedophile?
00:44:08.000And I went, no, no, this AE ain't a paedophile.
00:46:28.000All these things are editorial choices.
00:46:31.000These editorial choices are there to create a particular impression or outcome.
00:46:37.000Most people, even in 2026, don't watch media in that way.
00:46:41.000I'm not just talking about ordinary members of the public.
00:46:43.000I mean, even professional people, you watch a documentary and you kind of treat it like a document.
00:46:50.000But usually in order to make a documentary, you're dealing with, you know, Mass is an editor.
00:46:55.000You're dealing with hours and hours and hours of footage.
00:46:58.000You need cutaways and what's called B-roll.
00:47:00.000Like when you're filming something, you film the person's hands so that if they talk too much, I mean, I would never have that problem, but you can then get cut away with their hands so you can cut whole passages of the things that they're discussing.
00:47:11.000So even looking at any content as if it's real is a problem.
00:47:15.000And I guess in a way, that's the one of the defining problems or issues of our time.
00:47:25.000When, like a generation ago, war concrete or whatever, people go, okay, this is the news.
00:47:31.000And everyone's like, all right, so we're going to war in Vietnam and okay, the Viet Cong and that's bad.
00:47:36.000But like now, gosh, 80 years later, people know that the news is an entertainment show, that documentaries are constructed.
00:47:43.000People have a different impression now of the way that information is compiled and presented.
00:47:50.000And this is interesting that this has gone on in the way that it has because it represented a clash of media, a clash of media cultures.
00:48:03.000Much of the manosphere is made up of relatively uncontroversial comedians and podcasters who broadcast about women, fitness and wealth to a mainly male audience.
00:49:15.000But in a way, that's any editorial endeavor has to make selections about what the content is it's going to explore.
00:49:23.000And for me, the age I am, the type of media I've worked in, watching that documentary was fascinating because I've had a foot in both worlds.
00:49:31.000There were people in that documentary that I've met and know.
00:49:34.000And I don't think of Justin as particularly extreme.
00:49:36.000He's one of those guys that talks about finance and cars and women and is plainly troubled by the restrictions that those kind of ideas place upon a person.
00:49:43.000It seems to me he obviously can talk for himself, has his own very successful channels in which he can do that.
00:49:48.000As well as people like the HHS ticky-toky lad who was like, man, that shit blew my mind.
00:49:54.000And it made me realize that if I had been 20 or 25, my God.
00:49:58.000I mean, like, so what they do is they go out and they chab women.
00:50:00.000And then if you pay for their Telegram services, you can watch them screwing women in the bathroom, man.
00:50:20.000So it's really interesting because I don't agree with glib sexism or anything that's not reverential and loving to you know God's creation.
00:50:48.000It's a kind of a theater, it's a kind of camp, it's a kind of macho camp, is what I would call it, and to sort of take it seriously to and then straw man.
00:50:58.000It is a degree of editorialization that goes too far, but in a sense it was the first shot in in now an ongoing kind of culture war.
00:51:07.000That seems pretty insignificant compared to the actual war between eg, Iran and the United States.
00:51:12.000But Piers Morgan had our man HS Tiki-toky.
00:51:16.000I've given him too many H's in his name and this is how new media is.
00:51:33.000I think you're a sexist misogynist, homophobic twerp who got exposed, who got exposed in a global way by Netflix, by Louis Theroux, for what you are.
00:51:45.000You're a little halfwit and you'll make your little follow.
00:51:52.000There's no point me wasting my time talking to you, is there?
00:51:58.000Let's chill it down then, because what I just said there's 50 more things that we can have, 50 more things that we can have a stupid back and forth and try and run up each other.
00:52:08.000Just talk to me normally insults, normally.
00:52:12.000I don't care about your silly insults.
00:52:27.000Listen sir, I don't know why you come on and you talk like you're holier than owl as soon as you're a one-sided, are open, all right, let's do this.
00:52:55.000They're online, they're armed, these young men, and they're sort of playing a different type of game.
00:53:01.000It's interesting because definitely you would have to say, Piers Morgan's a person whose background is in red pop tabloid media.
00:53:09.000Red pop means like the SUN and the Mirror and the STAR.
00:53:12.000These were the exploitive national inquirer style newspapers that were a big deal and controlled the British media space for 20, 30 years solid, maybe even longer than that, and they were all about gotchas stings, dressing people up, hacking celebrity phones, hacking famous people's phones, hacking a dead schoolgirl's phone who had gone missing on one occasion.
00:53:33.000And now the technology is available, anyone can be a journalist.
00:53:37.000It's going to create all kinds of obviously variety.
00:53:40.000The variety is going to be endless and it's not always going to be entirely benign.
00:53:43.000But you can't really make a moral stand from the position that uh Piers Morgan's in, because they've done all sorts of stuff and participated in all sorts of interesting media and it's um interesting to see him on the other end of that.
00:53:57.000When that image of his wife was shown, which i'm sure most of you are familiar with, I guess they just went through the social media sites of Piers Morgan's family found images of his wife, son babying and slightly postcard-ish suggestive things about man wanting to clean pools and stuff like that.
00:54:15.000you liked that did you i mean it was great yeah i thought i thought with i thought when i mean for pierce to get up and leave like that and in a sense it's like ah almost like he won you know in that exchange he was He was coming at him.
00:54:54.000So he went from dressing down this kid, speaking to him like a child, like he's a teacher telling him off, basically.
00:54:59.000And they didn't realize, oh, shit, I'm in a completely new media environment.
00:55:03.000This guy has bought receipts and I don't want on my own show, so I'm going to leave my own show.
00:55:08.000So it's a completely different world that he's living in now.
00:55:11.000And although I don't agree with everything that Age Sticky Tucky did, I think it's funny to show a guy like that who's dressing you down like a kid.
00:55:40.000But I do like in the same way that the culture's changed a bunch because in the way I used to think, what if football fans had the level of passion that they have for their individual clubs for the kind of political causes that would meaningfully change all of our lives, i.e. sort of inequality, corruption, control.
00:55:59.000Now there's this new class of like working class men in this instance that are passionate and powerful, but the energy is getting sort of spent on, you know, chasing and women and getting rich and stuff.
00:56:14.000And it's understandable, I suppose, because, yeah, if you're going to live in this world, it's better off to be, you're better off being rich than poor.
00:56:19.000And you're better off, one might argue, having sex with loads of women than none.
00:56:24.000But it's, in a way, is still, you're still kind of in the prison.
00:56:29.000And there was one part of that documentary where he talked about the Matrix Louis Faroux did, and he was sort of derisory about that.
00:56:36.000But actually, that's what, that's where the old media has failed.
00:56:41.000It's not failed because indeed part of its function is to stop people waking up and confronting the restrictions that prevent them being free.
00:56:51.000But what I think is amazing is nowadays people have this language about being red-pilled and waking up and not trusting the narrative and breaking free from the system.
00:57:01.000But if you're breaking free from the system only to operate within another slightly more luxurious prison, then that's not enough of a name.
00:57:44.000And so they just focused on sex stuff and women and cars and all that stuff.
00:57:49.000But they didn't, like, his big mission is really helping blue-collar guys.
00:57:55.000And that's who he really speaks to a lot.
00:57:56.000And I think that they didn't focus on that a lot.
00:57:59.000I don't know about the other guys, if they have a bigger thing or they're just trying to sleep with girls all the time or they're making a show.
00:58:13.000And as well, I suppose if the alpha figure in this space is still Tate, huh?
00:58:18.000Like, Tate is the kind of the Genghis Khan at the epicenter of it all.
00:58:24.000And he is like extraordinarily bright, extraordinarily brave, successful.
00:58:32.000And I think he, like any sort of, it's interesting because it's not really art anymore, is it?
00:58:38.000Like this kind of new media is creating sort of new forms.
00:58:41.000In hip-hop, you would have like sort of a great or punk or whatever, some sort of outlier art form.
00:58:47.000You'd get brilliant pioneers and then you'd get people emulating them.
00:58:51.000And some of those people would be brilliant and other people wouldn't.
00:58:56.000But certainly anyone who's succeeding, they've understood economics, they've understood marketing, they've understood how to reach their audience, they've understood how their technology works, they've understood a lot of things in order to get in that position.
00:59:09.000They've been innovative, they're probably very, very hardworking, dedicated, devoted.
00:59:14.000The only sort of question that I have is not a question that Louis Theroux can genuinely ask because they're similarly nihilistic actually.
00:59:22.000Like that mainstream media is similarly nihilistic.
00:59:25.000All they want you to do is kowtow to a different god.
00:59:28.000They want you to kowtow to that sort of guardian liberalism, this sort of flat grey gruel sort of squeezed out the teats of Netflix and the BBC.
00:59:41.000And they're showing that they can handle it because in the confrontations, when they're in charge of the edit or there isn't an edit, they come off better.
00:59:50.000But like, I guess us, because we're sort of wearied, worn, old, bedraggled warriors on the edge of the path, I know what's on the other side of that womanizing lifestyle for one thing.
01:00:07.000And it might be different for them because they're in charge of the means of production.
01:00:10.000They're in charge of the means of production.
01:00:12.000When I was doing this stuff, I was being brokered by Warner Brothers or the BBC or Sony or in Fox or whoever, all those different people that I worked with and for over all those years.
01:00:23.000I weren't dealing directly with an audience like these young men are.
01:00:26.000So it's, yeah, it's a different world.
01:00:29.000But what I reckon this shows us is both sides, say the culture war in your country, it's understood that MSNBC are happy with Trump because Trump means better viewing figures for them, right?
01:00:43.000And now what we're seeing is even in secondary media spaces, both sides are content to sort of vie with one another.
01:00:49.000This whole documentary has been good for Louis Theroux.
01:02:43.000It uses powerful open source models, including Venice Uncensored, which refuses prompts only about 2% of the time, compared to the majority on other platforms.
01:02:51.000You can switch between models, generate images other AIs won't touch, analyze documents, even create custom AI characters, all without handing over your ID.
01:02:59.000If you want AI without censorship and without surveillance, go to venice.ai forward slash stay free and use the code stay free for 20% off Venice Pro.
01:03:08.000Links in the description and pinned in the comment, and I'm going to be using it because I'm always creating content.
01:03:13.000I'm not interested in pervy, porny things like that.
01:03:16.000You can get that wherever you want it.
01:03:17.000If you want it and you shouldn't want it, it doesn't help you.
01:03:19.000What you want to do, though, is organise systems of opposition to this corrupt and disgusting centralized tyranny that we're all forced to fight right now.
