Russell Brand is back with a new episode of the Awakened Wonder Locals chat. In this episode, Russell takes on the legacy media's fear that a second Trump term will lead to a descent into tyranny and asks the question: if Trump were re-elected, what would that mean for the USA in 2023, would it be a banana republic like the one we live in now, and what would it look like under such a regime? He also takes on Joe Biden's claim that a Trump second term would mean a return to tyranny, and challenges the notion that a Biden second term could be anything other than an election year, and that it would lead to the return of the old days of Democratic Party corruption and a return of Donald Trump's old ways of doing things the way they used to do things. Russell also discusses why a second term for Donald Trump would be a bad idea, and why a third term for him would be better than a first term for any other presidential candidate, and how he's right on track to win the 2020 election. This episode is out of this world we know nothing like it, and it's not even close to what we thought it was going to be like.

00:02:16.000Thanks so much for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brand today.
00:02:20.000We're going to be on YouTube for the first 15 minutes and then exclusively on Rumble.
00:02:24.000There's a problem with locals, guys, so join us in the Rumble chat today because locals ain't working.
00:02:32.000We're going to sort that out as soon as we possibly can.
00:02:34.000We've got a fantastic investigation coming up later into Conor McGregor's candidacy or path To the presidency of Ireland.
00:02:43.000Are we going to see more emergent populist figures, pugilists or otherwise, opposing establishment corruption as we approach this saturation point?
00:02:52.000When we have the centralist democrat establishment accusing other people of being dictators, when it seems like they are primarily interested in abandoning, for example, the Floridian primaries, which is That's a literal election.
00:03:09.000And when they seem to say you can have any candidate as long as it's Biden, what is dictatorship like now?
00:03:15.000What is it that defines and determines dictatorship in 2023?
00:03:24.000If you're watching us on Facebook, You're going to eventually have to join us over on Rumble, but for now we're going to be on all of these platforms.
00:03:33.000Hey, most of you are talking about Trump addressing the legacy media's claims that a second Trump term will be a descent into tyranny on Hannity.
00:05:09.000Thanks for joining us while Locals is down.
00:05:11.000Now of course the idea that Trump would turn dictator in any eventual second term is one of the common ideas and themes that is propagated by the legacy media.
00:05:23.000It's a continual idea that's pushed on shows like Morning Joe.
00:05:27.000While they're saying Trump is extreme, they use the most extreme hyperbole to condemn him and never address the corruption that's currently endemic Within the administration of Joe Biden, or as he is often known here, the Briben crime family team.
00:05:43.000For example, no one's talking on MSNBC at least, or on CNN, about the payments that are continually made and have been made from foreign nations to Joe Biden, the payments that have been made from Hunter Biden to Joe Biden.
00:05:56.000There's so many things that are not being covered.
00:05:58.000They're not covering, for example, the Florida primaries being abandoned.
00:06:02.000I mean, isn't that one of the least democratic things you can do?
00:06:05.000And they're not talking about the super PACs where the Democrat Party, or at least Democrat Party super PACs, are funding Nikki Haley, a Republican candidate.
00:06:44.000And also, this is the kind of folklorish, mythic language that doesn't belong in the materialist, rationalist, legacy media that purport to be the voice of the intelligentsia.
00:06:56.000That's, I would say, hyperbole and propaganda.
00:07:24.000More angry, more desperate, more dangerous.
00:07:26.000In order to take that seriously, you have to first of all embrace the idea
00:07:31.000that the current administration, the neoliberal establishment,
00:07:34.000after everything that went on during the pandemic period, in spite of all the global wars,
00:07:39.000In spite of the evident and obvious deception of the legacy media are somehow on your side.
00:07:44.000Do you believe, yes or no, YRN in the chat, that the New York Times cares about you, cares about your loved ones, cares about your family, cares about your life?
00:07:52.000Do the New York Times and the legacy media Speak on your behalf.
00:07:58.000Just a simple yes or no in the rumble chat.
00:08:00.000The through line that emerges is more long-running.
00:08:03.000He's glorified political violence and spoken admiringly of autocrats for decades.
00:08:08.000Listen, I can produce footage of Justin Trudeau saying that he admires China.
00:08:13.000And I know a lot of you have got some interesting theories on Justin Trudeau.
00:08:17.000Certainly Justin Trudeau Did literally, and I think I'm allowed to say this even on YouTube and Facebook, remember you can join us here for the first 15 minutes then we'll be exclusively available on Rumble.
00:08:27.000I think he literally, am I right in saying, did they bring an actual literal Nazi into their parliament and give him a standing ovation?
00:09:08.000That's the legacy media body where they come together and have decided that it's you, independent thought, and independent media that are their enemies, not each other.
00:09:16.000They're not competing with one another for scoops anymore.
00:09:18.000They're competing with independent media.
00:09:20.000Because independent media teaches us or encourages us to think for ourselves and suggest that we oppose establishment power rather than allow ourselves to be subjugated by it.
00:09:31.000And dangerous to American-style democracy than in his first term.
00:09:35.000But the through-line that emerges is far more long-running.
00:09:39.000He has glorified political violence and spoken admiringly of autocrats for decades.
00:09:46.000The Times points to an interview from more than three decades ago where Trump spoke... Five years ago?
00:10:13.000Tell me what you want me to say today and I'll say it.
00:10:16.000Tell me what I have to do to support your regime that hates ordinary people, that hates ordinary Americans, that doesn't like the way that Trump seems to be able to reach the emotional resonance of rage that many of you are feeling about your government, and I would argue, quite rightly, by their own By their own admission, through their own policies.
00:10:42.000Funding Nikki Haley the same way as they did Pied Piper strategies with Republican MAGA candidates, to use their own phrase, a couple of election cycles back.
00:10:50.000It's an extraordinary time and it's extraordinary they call it democracy.
00:10:54.000And tell me what you think about the fact that Biden said that he's only running because Trump's running.
00:11:00.000You know, in his Hannity interview, Trump just said that's a talking point, right?
00:11:02.000Let's see how the rest of this piece of propaganda plays out.
00:11:09.000I bet he didn't say that that was good.
00:11:14.000I bet if we go back and look at that interview, I bet Trump's not saying, what I liked was the way that those people were massacred in Tiananmen Square.
00:11:21.000The real enemy was that guy with them shopping bags!
00:11:24.000In front of that, he should have been shot.
00:11:40.000What he might have said is that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and everyone went to war on the basis that there was.
00:11:45.000There was no significant connection between Iraq and the 9-11 attacks on America and yet it was used to legitimize war by the father of Liz Cheney who came up with the phrase by all accounts of Orange Jesus and now it's that you can't even talk about peace in your country anymore and your country is significant when it comes to creating global peace.
00:12:05.000We all know that America, to a degree, does have a unique place in the world, and that's why American politics is important to people like me that are in Britain, and people like you that are in Canada or Australia.
00:12:36.000Osama Bin Laden was trained in the Mujahideen in Afghanistan which was funded by the CIA.
00:12:43.000That Colonel Gaddafi was a hero and ally.
00:12:46.000To the American people before he was... And by the way, think about where Zelensky could be going because Klitschko, another populist pugilist, is standing up for what he calls democracy.
00:13:08.000This is a story they won't Forces that somewhat contained his autocratic tendencies in his first term, including some staffers, congressional Republicans, and a partisan balance on the Supreme Court, would all be weaker.
00:13:23.000As a result, Mr. Trump's and his advisers' more extreme policy plans and ideas for a second term would have a greater prospect of becoming a reality.
00:16:00.000But if this pattern of projecting onto your opponents what you're actually doing sounds familiar, it's because one of Putin's biggest admirers is using the same tactics right here in the United States.
00:16:13.000That and the photo they've used of Putin just going to Trump.
00:16:18.000Trump, just sort of like touching him favorably on the arm.
00:16:22.000You can literally see that in the black and white on signs that Trump's campaign passed out at the same event that say Biden attacks democracy.
00:16:30.000But that is an attack on democracy if you cancel those primaries.
00:16:32.000It is an attack on democracy if you won't participate in debates.
00:16:36.000It is an attack on democracy if you censor true information about your son's laptop.
00:16:41.000It is if you use the CIA to suppress information, if you use pre-bunking techniques So that people can't communicate openly around stories because they've been told in advance that it's Russian disinformation.
00:16:53.000The Clinton Foundation fund the Steele dossier.
00:16:58.000The problem, even if you take their analysis, even if you take the idea that Trump is bad for democracy, the whole rise of Trump has been caused by them, by their abandonment of ordinary Americans, By the abandonment of ordinary values and principles.
00:17:13.000That in itself is driven by one thing.
00:17:37.000It's when you have a cadre of institutional interests around the globe, transcendent of democracy and sovereign nationality, communicating, proposing their own interests, pushing their own agenda, And preventing you from using any technique to oppose them.
00:18:00.000What they're terrified of now is, in spite of all the indictments, and you've heard Trump joke about this, people's disdain for the establishment is so powerful.
00:19:10.000I'm here trying my best to generate a personal and collective awakening with the humble means at our disposal.
00:19:18.000Extraordinary piece of analysis from the Metropolitan Legacy Media there that it seems to me are pretty... Yeah, Jens A. Puppet says Chris Digital 121.
00:19:27.000Yeah, for all I know she does seem to be Supporting the agenda of the establishment.
00:20:19.000The political network founded by the billionaire Koch family has endorsed Nikki Haley.
00:20:24.000The group says, quote, in sharp contrast to recent elections that were dominated by the negative baggage of Donald Trump, Nikki Haley at the top of the ticket would boost candidates up and down the ballot.
00:20:36.000I did come out and make a nice statement about Nikki Haley.
00:20:39.000She's one of the Koch brothers, isn't it, here right now.
00:20:53.000You've got to believe now that MSNBC, the Democrat Party establishment, the Koch brothers, the energy industry, they all love you and Trump's the baddie.
00:21:04.000Or is it that he's a kind of berserker, a wrecking ball in their corrupt establishment?
00:21:30.000And how do they benefit from perpetual war, perpetual fear, the ability to induce the measures that become Expedient, they would argue, in pandemics and crises.
00:21:41.000Let's have a look at Lloyd Austin now.
00:21:44.000Lloyd Austin has hit out American people who don't want to intervene in what many people regard as foreign wars or conflicts that are beyond American interest.
00:22:59.000That sort of Raytheon and the military-industrial complex and globalist interventionalism and the corporatist project to dominate the globe and have it entirely governed by organizations that are inaccessible to ordinary Americans?
00:23:11.000I'm talking your IMFs, your WHOs, your World Banks.
00:23:40.000As the old saying goes, if you think that education is expensive, try ignorance.
00:23:49.000And if you think American leadership is expensive, consider the price of American retreat.
00:23:57.000And if you think an awakened and disobedient population is a problem, watch MSNBC and CNN.
00:24:03.000And if you think a population that recognizes that the class that governs them do not have their best interests at heart, but ultimately work for their corporate paymasters, then you need to watch Moyen.
00:24:41.000You're enjoying your work and having fun.
00:24:43.000What makes this work even better, rather than connecting to nature and being with my family and my loved ones?
00:24:48.000What helps me to enjoy this work even more is knowing that it's going to support an unwinnable war against the nuclear superpower that have said they will stop this war if Ukraine Simply don't draw a NATO.
00:26:02.000Quite an extraordinary article with Vitaly Klitschko, the mayor of Kiev, who warned that Ukrainians are losing trust in Zelensky, who he says is becoming increasingly autocratic in his presidency, so much so that he warned that Ukraine could resemble Russia in the near future, at least politically.
00:26:20.000But Zelensky... I mean, after all this trouble!
00:26:22.000Do you know what this place reminds me of, since we've had this war and killed all of our young people?
00:26:39.000He's facing criticism from other high-ranking officials in Ukraine, really the first signs of a growing rift in Ukrainian leadership, particularly as the war sort of settles into a stalemate for the foreseeable future.
00:26:53.000A nice little stalemate, just like Afghanistan.
00:27:00.000Luckily, the Pentagon, they'll have an audit soon and we can find out exactly where that money's going.
00:27:05.000Your taxpayer, 50% of your taxpayer dollars.
00:27:09.000Oh, you can just warm your hands on the sweet propaganda of a military-industrial complex and legacy media that wants you ignorant and detached.
00:27:29.000You feel at risk if Ukraine ain't in NATO?
00:27:32.000Is that more important to you than supporting the people whose homes burned down in those Hawaiian fires?
00:27:36.000Is that more important to you than the lack of infrastructure in American cities?
00:27:40.000Well, wherever you are in the world, if you're here with me in the UK, is it more important to perpetuate this war?
00:27:45.000I'm not saying abandon the Ukrainian people, I'm saying diplomacy, peace!
00:27:48.000When did it become impossible to talk about diplomacy and peace?
00:27:50.000You just saw Lloyd Austin, former RAFian employee and current defence secretary, saying, if you talk about peace, you're an isolationist, you don't get it.
00:27:57.000What, the way you express love now is by bombing people?
00:28:00.000Is that the tipsy-topsy-turvy inverted little land we've got living now?
00:28:06.000Future, some have argued that perhaps striking Jim says on there, says, where's Sean Penn when you need him?
00:28:12.000Like, I don't know how many Oscars Sean Penn has got.
00:28:14.000I like Sean Penn, but yeah, that was a weird moment.
00:28:16.000Some kind of accord or some kind of negotiation with Russia could end the war, but this is something that, for the moment, Zelensky is vehemently opposed to.
00:28:30.000Then Boris Johnson, former British Prime Minister, went over there and suddenly peace was off the table, as Elensky Insider revealed that recently.
00:28:39.000Hey, listen guys, we've been talking for 27 minutes.
00:28:41.000Now, if you're watching us on Facebook, welcome!
00:29:41.000And hate speech, this is the speech we're interested in.
00:29:44.000Wherever you are in the world, wherever you are from, whatever your culture is, whatever your belief is, we have more in common with one another than we do with the establishment that wants to destroy us.
00:29:52.000We've got 30 seconds more on YouTube and Facebook, then we're going to be exclusively available only on Rumble, and we've got some incredible stories that we're going to be talking about.
00:30:02.000We're going to be talking a little bit about Epstein.
00:30:04.000We're going to be talking a little bit about Conor McGregor, another populist rising up in Ireland.
00:30:13.000So if you want to see those stories, if you want to participate in the conversation, why are you still on YouTube if they've demonetized you?
00:30:19.000Because we've got to reach as wide an audience as possible.
00:30:22.000Someone just asked me in the Rumble chat.
00:30:24.000Hey, you guys, if the locals are still down, so get in that rumble chat and you lot be beautiful to one another.
00:30:30.000I'm talking to you, Lefarious Monster.
00:31:20.000Listen, so what we're going to be talking about here is the censorship industrial complex and why what is happening in Ireland is incredibly significant.
00:31:27.000Extraordinarily draconian measures are being proposed in that country that has fought very, very hard indeed to throw off an external oppressor.
00:31:35.000Now from within, there's an inconceivable tyranny being proposed.
00:31:40.000The very fact is, is that the laws that are being proposed now in Ireland would mean that the Garda, that's the police force in the country of Ireland, would be able to go in at a home if they suspect Anybody.
00:31:51.000If they suspect anybody of having what they deem hate speech.
00:31:54.000They're, by the way, not willing to commit to what hate speech means.
00:31:58.000They're not... The bill is vague about it.
00:32:40.000Is this more pantomime politics or is populism the only route through?
00:32:45.000Draconian legislation and an establishment that hates the people.
00:32:51.000People don't trust politicians anymore, and with good reason.
00:32:55.000People are sick of a legacy media that amplifies an agenda that is antithetical to the interests of people.
00:33:00.000People are sick and tired of an establishment that hates them, so they're looking for, this is my theory, my idea, let me know in the chat and the comments if you agree, they're looking for leaders that are willing to stand up against the establishment.
00:33:11.000This will mean outsiders, this will mean new popular figures, this will mean people that the establishment doesn't like, Suddenly being willing to take up a political mantle and oppose the forces that seem to me very interested in limiting individual power and centralizing authority and keeping ordinary people out of the business of running their own lives.
00:33:30.000Let's have a look at this story because it's a very interesting time in Ireland because the censorship industrial complex are stepping up their plan to control free speech and even in the case of Ireland invade people's home even if they're suspected of being in possession of what is regarded as hate Let's get into it.
00:33:46.000hateful material or hate speech material and as Matt Taibbi says, hate speech is not the
00:33:50.000issue, who decides what hate speech is, is the issue. Let's get into it.
00:33:54.000Conor McGregor has outlined his potential route to becoming the President of Ireland,
00:33:58.000saying I'd fancy my chances. Already a kind of political rhetoric that will be a relief
00:34:03.000for some people to hear. I'd fancy my chances. McGregor is reportedly being investigated
00:34:08.000by Irish police over his social media posts around the Dublin riots in late November.
00:34:13.000He himself is being scrutinised even prior to this legislation being introduced.
00:34:19.000What do you think about Conor McGregor's social media posts?
00:34:22.000My interpretation is He's concerned about migration in Ireland.
00:34:26.000He's concerned about the violence that's taken place recently in Ireland.
00:34:29.000He's concerned about the lack of conversation around migration.
00:34:31.000And beneath that, and this is my own analysis, I'm not claiming to speak for Conor McGregor, he's probably concerned about a political class that no longer represents the people they were elected to represent.
00:34:41.000And as we pointed out in an earlier video, in a country like Ireland, that is going to be particularly problematic because ethno-nationalism is a real part of Ireland's history, perhaps every nation's history, but Ireland is a country that's been historically oppressed by Britain and their relationship to national pride is more understandable than most nations' relationship to national pride.
00:34:59.000Even though I would say that we're all entitled to have a degree of national pride or tribal instinct, my hope is that is a very inclusive and open-hearted thing, but...
00:35:07.000These are interesting times, but the former UFC champion has expressed confidence in taking up a position of power in his home country.
00:35:14.000Let's have a look at Conor McGregor's post.
00:35:23.000Each with unbreakable ties to their individual party's politics.
00:35:26.000Curious that already Conor McGregor, in my view, has identified one of the dominant themes and problems in contemporary politics.
00:35:35.000It has become institutional and systematic.
00:35:37.000I don't claim to know much about Irish politics full stop or contemporary Irish politics, but what I do know is across the world there's a sense that a form of neoliberalism has captured the heart of democracy.
00:35:46.000And while you hear hysterical rhetoric around This politician is like a tyrant.
00:35:53.000The centralist, neoliberal, kindness, safety, convenience, centrist parties seem more interested in shutting down democracy than any of these apparent tyrants and dictators that we're supposed to be terrified of.
00:36:05.000For example, the government that's in Ireland right now are supporting a bill that would enable the police, or the Garda in the case of Ireland, to enter people's homes, take their laptops and computers, if they are just suspected of having material that is deemed to be hateful.
00:36:19.000If the person proposing that policy was wearing a military uniform and making crazy salutes, you'd say, well, yep, that's good old-fashioned dictatorship.
00:36:26.000Regardless of what the public outside their parties feel, these parties govern themselves versus govern the people.
00:36:55.000Even though this might be regarded as simplistic and naive by the metropolitan media class, this is the type of democracy that's possible now.
00:37:11.000Do you want more expenditure in mRNA vaccines?
00:37:14.000All of these things, you could be asked.
00:37:16.000You could be voting on those issues, issue by issue, individually and independently.
00:37:20.000Do you want more censorship in Ireland?
00:37:22.000Do you want the police to have more power or less power?
00:37:24.000These are all things that could be debated, discussed and voted on.
00:37:28.000It's very curious that when people are accused of being anti-democratic, tyrants and dictators, no one ever mentions the possibility for real democracy that exists right now.
00:37:37.000I'm sure it'd be complicated and I bet it wouldn't be perfect.
00:37:39.000But we're not competing with perfection.
00:37:41.000We're competing with a pretty corrupt system that most people are sick and tired of.
00:37:44.000And in the case of Ireland, they're rioting in the street out of sheer frustration, anger, Disappointment and disconnection from their country and its leaders and the direction its leaders are taking it in.
00:37:54.000That means someone like Conor McGregor now, I believe, has a reasonable chance of getting elected where he stands.
00:37:59.000Let me know in the chat and the comments if you think new politicians are likely to start standing in all sorts of new positions and roles across the world because people are sick and tired of systemic institutional figures that don't represent ordinary people but represent the interests of the powerful.
00:38:36.000There's a kind of ambiguity about where he may stand politically.
00:38:39.000Remember in his recent interview he said, oh, I might vote for Trump, or I'm not sure I'd vote for Trump, I wouldn't vote for Biden.
00:38:44.000Essentially, he's a spokesperson for the disenfranchised.
00:38:47.000Curious though that may be, because he's obviously an extremely wealthy individual.
00:38:50.000Most people now are sick and tired of the political class.
00:38:53.000They're sick and tired of institutions that are trying to cling on to power and control our attention, control our consciousness, control the direction of our lives.
00:39:03.000They're trying to maintain institutions that are past their sell-by date.
00:39:06.000Again, in this little post here, just listing these ages and these names, some of them are sort of pretty influential and significant political figures who have dedicated their lives to politics.
00:39:15.000But the fact is now the world is changing and it's changing fast.
00:39:19.000Because there's a crisis of meaning, there are ecological crises, there are political crises, fuel prices are out of control, food prices are out of control, the culture's out of control.
00:39:27.000In Ireland, people believe there's a migration crisis, and they're well entitled to discuss it, vote on it, and follow someone who wants to talk about it.
00:39:34.000Of course, the liberal legacy media will always support free speech.
00:39:38.000They'll always support someone from a working class background getting involved in politics.
00:39:43.000Because, you know, we're all supposed to vote, aren't we?
00:40:04.000Maybe the legacy media, instead of condemning populist voices as far-right or right-wing or fascist or conspiracy theorists, and believe me, I've been subject to that kind of analysis as well.
00:40:14.000As well as far worse, as you're probably well aware by now.
00:40:17.000Instead of that, What they should do is ask, why are people suddenly open to a new type of politics?
00:40:25.000Why are people sick and tired of unelected globalist bodies imposing regulations on their nations?
00:40:31.000Why are they tired of a political system that doesn't respond to their wants or needs, can't reach them emotionally, doesn't listen to them, hates them and condemns them as racist at every single turn?
00:40:41.000Why would people be interested in systems that have only got that kind of rhetoric to offer?
00:40:45.000And indeed, when people complain, when people try to fight, I mean verbally, and oppose the mainstream dominator narratives, they're called racists, and new legislation is being passed all over the world, not just in Ireland, to censor and control dissent.
00:40:59.000People say it's about hate speech, but you're not You're not naive, are you?
00:41:03.000It's about shutting down dissent, and in Ireland, it's the most egregious of examples.
00:41:07.000Let's have a look at the censorship laws that are being opposed in Ireland.
00:41:10.000And remember, Conor McGregor is under investigation by the police right now because of tweets.
00:41:15.000I spoke to a detective in Pearse Street on Saturday who was actively engaged with the
00:41:20.000social media companies throughout Thursday.
00:41:23.000This is Helen McKenty, an Irish politician, explaining how during the Dublin uprisings,
00:41:29.000protests, riots, call them whatever word is appropriate for you.
00:41:32.000I think people should use language pretty freely.
00:41:35.000How certain social media platforms cooperated in shutting down free speech, I'd call it, hate speech, they'd call it, live while the events were unfolding.
00:41:44.000What she's describing, plainly, openly, in plain sight, as they like to say these days, is the process of the government controlling free speech through social media platforms.
00:41:54.000Imagine if they're able to implement legislation that will grant them control, but the legal right to shut down any speech they don't like.
00:42:09.000Instead of solving the problem of, oh, there seems to be a sort of a migrant crisis and unrest and dissatisfaction about the amount of crime that's being committed in Dublin, they shut down the complaining about it.
00:42:20.000And then if someone stands up who's got a bit of a platform and a bit of a voice, that person's a racist or far-right or even worse, they'll say whatever they need to say to shut down any voices that oppose the establishment.
00:42:31.000He was actively engaged with TikTok, actively engaged with Meta, so Instagram and Facebook.
00:42:35.000He was actively engaged with Twitter or X. She said very clearly that social media companies, in particular TikTok and Meta, they were responding, they were engaging with Gardi, and they were taking down these vile posts as they came up.
00:42:54.000They did not fulfill their own community standards.
00:42:57.000It's interesting talking about community standards online when the community standards in Ireland have obviously fallen below the expectation of the Irish people.
00:43:10.000In the comments of the last video we made on this subject, many people that were not from Ireland, living in Ireland now, were speaking about what a welcoming, loving place Ireland is for the people that participate in the culture.
00:43:21.000If there is a crisis in Ireland, it's a crisis of democracy, or the lack of democracy.
00:43:25.000It's a crisis brought about by having a political class that doesn't listen to the Irish people.
00:43:30.000It's a crisis that's been brought about by ignorance, avoidance of acknowledging the culture of Ireland, and in some cases it seems, out and out crime.
00:43:38.000You can't say that X are disobeying their own community guidelines, when Ireland
00:43:42.000is in disarray and people are totally dissatisfied with their own government. And then
00:43:46.000what's the solution? To impose censorship laws to stop people complaining. Instead of solving the
00:43:51.000problem, silence the people that complain. Extraordinary.
00:43:54.000And that is why we are moving to a situation where these companies do not get to self-monitor.
00:43:59.000That's why Commission the Man has been established, to make sure that these companies are held
00:44:04.000responsible because while some were responsible, others were not.
00:44:08.000A word like responsible in the mouth of the Justice Minister means responding to what
00:44:12.000we tell them to do, which will very soon in your country, Ireland, be the law. And that's
00:44:16.000a law that's coming to a nation near you.
00:44:18.000So let me reassure you, Gardaà were seized of this, they were engaging, They were engaging directly with the social media companies.
00:44:25.000What a terrifying new world we live in.
00:44:27.000A world in which it seems that we're most likely to get hope from populist leaders that are anti-establishment above all else.
00:44:33.000Remember, we keep saying it's no longer left v right, it's periphery versus the centre.
00:44:37.000People that are outside of the establishment have to find new ways of forming alliances.
00:44:42.000Putting aside left and right and all of those kind of arguments, they are there to divide you.
00:44:46.000The Irish police, the Garda, is about to get new, wider-ranging powers to spy on people's private online conversations happening via chat apps in order to crack down on crime after recent events in Dublin.
00:44:58.000So whatever you might think the problem is in Ireland, whatever you might think the migration crisis is, the democracy crisis, the standard of living crisis, the spiritual crisis, the solution, they think, is to be able to get into your private messages, spy on you, and shut you down.
00:45:12.000This is not unique to Ireland, but this is what's happening in Ireland right now.
00:45:16.000Justice Minister Helen McEntee last week got the government to agree to give the police thus far unprecedented powers which will also include allowing police inspectors to get mobile phone operators location data of citizens in the interests of protecting a person's safety or life.
00:45:32.000Is that the relationship you want with the state?
00:45:33.000The state are there to protect you and they can spy on you in order to protect you?
00:45:38.000Did the Irish people go through the history they've gone through against British oppression to have their own police force turn against them in black and tan, controlling them, spying on them, using their own private communications against them?
00:45:50.000If they decide the circumstances are right, it also means the police would be given access to private messages on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Signal apps.
00:45:58.000We can't bring you this fantastic content without your support.
00:46:03.000Also, we need the support of our valued commercial partners.
00:46:06.000This is an important message, because during the holiday season, we're all going to eat presumably all sorts of wild, erratic, sugar-rich, Cali-means-would-say-potentially-lethal food.
00:46:17.000And the Mayo Clinic says if you want to prevent heart disease, lower your blood pressure, and cholesterol, you've got to eat five servings of fruit and vegetables every day, which is next to impossible.
00:46:28.000That's why you need to check out Fielder Greens.
00:46:30.000Every fruit and vegetable in Fielder Greens was medically selected by doctors to support your vital organs, like your heart, lungs, kidneys, and immune system.
00:47:08.000The government in Dublin is introducing extraordinary new legislation to restrict freedom of speech.
00:47:13.000But it's not horrid right wingers conspiring to suppress nice decent liberals.
00:47:17.000It's nice decent liberals scrambling to stamp out the opinions of what they call the far right.
00:47:22.000And far from being alarmed by this assault on basic freedoms, the broad swathe of progressive opinion in Ireland is fully behind it, including most voices in the broadcast print media and every majority party.
00:47:33.000One thing I've learned lately is that the legacy media, thank God, is not the people.
00:47:37.000That people in political power are not the people.
00:47:40.000That they operate on one strata and they've become completely disengaged and disconnected from the people that they're supposed to work for, report to and serve.
00:47:59.000Since riots broke out in Dublin two weeks ago following the stabbing of three children, the cries for action have become ever louder.
00:48:06.000The government led by Leo Varadkar has now pledged to have the Criminal Justice, Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences Bill on the statute book within a matter of weeks.
00:48:14.000The new law would surely have escaped international attention had those riots not happened.
00:48:18.000But Dublin's eagerness to regulate hate speech has, as internet parlance puts it, gone viral.
00:48:24.000Now the whole world knows that Ireland is poised to pass one of the most draconian pieces of legislation in modern times, which will see Irish people facing potential jail sentences of up to two years for the possession of literature likely to incite violence or hatred against others on the ground of certain protected characteristics, including race, gender and sexual orientation.
00:48:42.000Personally, I don't think that there should be hateful rhetoric around those subjects or indeed any subject at all.
00:48:48.000That we should all be doing our best to find ways of allying with one another.
00:48:52.000I think the best way to do that is to empower people to run their own communities democratically.
00:48:57.000I think this is going to require a new political class.
00:48:59.000It's going to require unconventional political figures being willing to stand for positions that would have been unthinkable a while ago.
00:49:05.000No one would have thought Yeah, let's have Conor McGregor as president.
00:49:10.000And look at the state power that they're discussing, granting to the Garda in order to further control discourse and dissent.
00:49:18.000The police and courts will not even need to demonstrate that the material in question was intended to be distributed to anyone other than the owner.
00:49:25.000It will be presumed until the contrary is proven that it was.
00:49:29.000That's a reversal of some of the most sacred, shall we say, judicial principles that we have ever known.
00:50:03.000It's reminiscent of the Soviet Union, where having copies of literature banned by the state, known as samizdat, was enough to fall foul of the KGB.
00:50:10.000To make matters worse, the Irish government has not actually defined in the bill what hatred is, saying that to do so could risk prosecutions collapsing.
00:50:18.000Oh my god, they're not defining what hatred is.
00:50:21.000This is not only Soviet Union KGB stuff, this is literally Kafka-esque.
00:50:25.000They're not defining what hatred is, because then you'd be like, well, according to your definition of hatred in your bill, this is not hatred, because look, we didn't do that, we did this.
00:50:37.000Someone must have been telling lies about Joseph K, because he was arrested all of a sudden, no one telling what it was for.
00:50:43.000When you are opaque about what you've done wrong, when you're opaque about where the information has come from, when you create this kind of legislation, it's impossible for people to fight against it.
00:50:51.000It's designed to be impossible to fight against because they know that Ireland is a country full of fighters.
00:50:56.000How curious that a fighter has stepped forward in this moment.
00:50:59.000What they want is an unfair fight where the people fighting don't know the rules.
00:51:03.000Minister for Justice Helen McEntee continues to insist citizens will be able to speak freely, but Senator for the Green Party, one of three parties in the governing coalition, let the cat out of the bag.
00:51:12.000We are restricting freedom, Pauline O'Reilly said, but we're doing it for the common good.
00:51:17.000What they're saying is, you don't know what I know, and I haven't got time to explain it to you, so we're just going to limit your freedom.
00:51:23.000We're not going to describe what hatred is.
00:51:25.000We'll tell you whether or not we think it's hatred on a case-by-case basis.
00:51:29.000Which, you know, could seem like what you're trying to do is create the opportunity to persecute and imprison your opponent and allow what could be regarded as hate speech of people that you support and agree with.
00:51:39.000This is how tyranny and dictatorship starts.
00:51:41.000There's a lot of talk of tyranny and dictatorship these days.
00:51:44.000people very keen to harken back to the tyranny of the last century,
00:51:47.000which we're all very happy to have left behind.
00:52:36.000It talks about people's feelings and protecting the vulnerable.
00:52:39.000And in order to do that, it just has to restrict your freedom and come into your house and take your phone.
00:52:45.000And if anyone speaks out against it, then they are part of the problem.
00:52:49.000That's what dictatorships look like in 2023.
00:52:51.000Ireland sadly has a long tradition of censorship.
00:52:55.000There was once a body with a wonderfully evocative name, the Committee on Evil Literature, which recommended banning publications deemed harmful to the newly independent nation's Catholic values.
00:53:05.000The country prides itself on having come through that dark time.
00:53:08.000But all that's actually happened is that the term evil literature has been redefined to suit contemporary values.
00:53:25.000When we talk about orthodoxy, when we talk about fascism, when we talk about systems of control or the Spanish Inquisition, we always imagine the paraphernalia, the robes of an oppressive religious system, or the badges and flags of an oppressive military dictatorship.
00:53:40.000What we've not become yet accustomed to is the new technocratic technological dictatorships where a cadre of experts tell you that they know better than you what's right for you.
00:53:51.000And you might not know that you were doing hate speech, and we're not going to tell you what we mean by hate speech, but we're pretty sure that you did some of it.
00:53:58.000The opposite of this, the polar opposite, is democracy and popular uprising.
00:54:03.000It's people saying, this is our country, these are our communities, we'll select our leaders and we'll control our own lives.
00:54:09.000We'll make moral judgements for ourselves.
00:54:11.000No longer willing to outsource power to the state, as if it was some kind of god, because it doesn't deserve that status and only behaves like the worst kind of gods I've ever heard of.
00:54:35.000I'd much rather take my chances, if I was Irish, with Conor McGregor than any one of those technocratic, bureaucratic, Kafka-esque Enemies of freedom that are right now trying to introduce a censorship bill that would allow them to spy on your private messages and invade your home if they suspect you of hate speech and they ain't willing to tell you even what hate speech is.
00:54:55.000That is the kind of tyranny we must all oppose together and we should support anyone that's willing to stand up and fight against it.
00:56:26.000That what's happened is, is the establishment state class, media class, corporate class has become separated from the people, whether it's American people or Irish people.
00:57:31.000A person that's awakened to what's happened in the last three years, that it was a revelatory period where we saw how the interests of the powerful converge around, well, the ability to regulate and control.
00:59:07.000This must be so nice to you, being back on campus.
00:59:10.000I asked myself a question after 54 years at the NIH and almost 40 years as the director of an institute.
00:59:19.000You know, all the things that I've done, research and developing vaccines, what do I want to do for the last, you know, five or more years?
00:59:27.000And I think that Make money, count the dollars.
00:59:31.000It was pretty clear answer was to maybe serve as an inspiration for young people who are either interested in a career in public service.
00:59:39.000There are some young people you won't be serving as an inspiration for.
00:59:42.000Many young athletes and many people that suddenly got unalived.
00:59:47.000Public service or already are in a career of public service.
00:59:50.000You're undergraduate, you didn't study medicine though, you studied classics.
01:02:54.000That is weird and that's not positive.
01:02:58.000So I'm in a situation where I'm a moderate type of a person and you have the extremes of just over-the-top adulation and then you have extremes of Could that be connected to the propaganda campaign that we were all subjected to for two years?
01:03:16.000Could that be due to the fact that genuine and admittedly and acknowledged true information was censored and purged from social media?
01:03:23.000Could that be because legitimate voices from the scientific community were censored and banned and discredited and smeared?
01:03:30.000Perhaps the adulation didn't occur just because of some Elvis Presley style charisma, but because of a bombardment of propaganda and deception.
01:03:39.000the top hate. So becoming a sex symbol in your late 70s?
01:03:43.000That is not something that I aspire to. That's not one of my aspirations. Have you
01:03:50.000figured out how to puncture the balloon of misinformation?
01:03:56.000You could just stop speaking, stop spreading it, stop conveying it, stop taking royalty checks from the various pharmaceutical companies that the agencies you're connected to are supposed to regulate.
01:04:09.000How to bring conspiracy theorists or vaccine sceptics over to what you're thinking?
01:04:16.000Do you think you've gained any insight that would be useful for everybody on that?
01:04:21.000I'm trying to figure out what the best way is, what kind of commonalities that you have when you have people who are of the bent that are absolutely convinced that the election was stolen.
01:04:38.000When you use that to make very, very poor decisions when it comes to your health is really disturbing.
01:04:45.000So I don't know how to crack that nut, Katty.
01:04:51.000It's almost like you just simply have to tell the truth, be absolutely transparent, and allow people to openly communicate and stop censoring true voices.
01:05:02.000Well, thank you so much for joining us today for another fantastic show.
01:05:07.000Thank you for being part of our powerful movement.
01:05:09.000Remember, if you want to become an Awakened Wonder and support our work, press the red button.
01:05:28.000On board the Ark, Xxtrategy1, thank you for becoming a member. ChrisKelio1,
01:05:32.000thanks for becoming a member. Pak Jojo. Miss Steelpoint, Free Speech Fan, thank
01:05:36.000you so much for joining us. On the show tomorrow we have Steve Kirsch with some
01:05:40.000information that's pretty astonishing and extraordinary. Get ready.
01:05:47.000He has been integral in the New Zealand vaccine data breach and he's got a lot of information that's only going to be available to you on Rumble.
01:05:53.000You are not going to want to miss that.
01:05:55.000Please tell your community because I think it's a groundbreaking conversation that you need to see.
01:06:00.000It is the opposite of the propaganda you've just been subjected to by state-funded media.
01:06:04.000That means British taxpayers pay for that channel and this is what you're going to receive tomorrow if you watch Steve Kirsch It's going to change the world.
