00:00:54.000 So I'm looking for the steel Looking for the steel

00:00:59.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:01:02.000 Let's treasure each other.

00:01:06.000 We're getting the breaking news.

00:01:07.000 We've got a live shot there.

00:01:08.000 Hey! 0.99

00:01:13.000 Hello there, you Awakening Wonders.

00:01:15.000 Thanks for joining me on Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:01:18.000 Maybe turn off the audio on... Oh, that's what it's like being me.

00:01:23.000 I hear my own voice in my own mind.

00:01:25.000 There's always at least three tracks running.

00:01:27.000 For example, someone's got to give this dog a biscuit, haven't they?

00:01:30.000 Someone's got to do it.

00:01:32.000 Someone's got to organise... I thought I was meant to be the intern.

00:01:34.000 No, no, no, no.

00:01:36.000 I've given him a biscuit and he says it's malpractice.

00:01:41.000 Someone's got to bring together a set of disparate communities to bring about a global revolution.

00:01:45.000 Someone has got to ask you, our community, will Taiwan be the next Ukraine?

00:01:51.000 Someone's got to tell you, breaking news, Tucker's left Fox.

00:01:55.000 Tucker has left Fox.

00:01:57.000 Tucker's not going to do Fox anymore.

00:01:58.000 Let's call Tucker.

00:01:59.000 Call him?

00:02:00.000 You just left him a voice note.

00:02:02.000 I know, he's too keen now for Tucker.

00:02:04.000 Hold on, he's listened to the voice note.

00:02:06.000 Does it mean they've listened to it if it disappears?

00:02:07.000 I don't know, they've gone blue ticks.

00:02:10.000 We will get you, Tucker, by the end of this show, so help me God.

00:02:14.000 And also, exclusively on Rumble, you know we're on YouTube right now, well we won't be in a minute, because of the, you know, we love YouTube.

00:02:21.000 YouTube's where our 6.4 million wonders live, and we love every single one of their million.

00:02:26.000 Every one of their million, six million, point four, we love them.

00:02:29.000 But, We've got to go on to Rumble to talk to Lee, Fangs for the memory, Fang, about, and he's breaking a story on our show, so this could be our most important show ever, he's breaking a story, new Pfizer revelations about some Pfizer funding stuff, that is going to knock your pants down around your ankles, or possibly if you're in a comical mood, put them on top of your head, no matter what the hygiene consequences of such an action should be.

00:02:57.000 We're talking about institutional corruption.

00:02:59.000 We're talking about nepotism.

00:03:01.000 Meaningful nepotism.

00:03:02.000 The kind of nepotism that leads a man, a certain little man called Joseph Jojo Biden, to possibly visit Ukraine to grease the wheels of his son's employment at Burisma Rhymes with Charisma, a Ukrainian gas company.

00:03:17.000 And this kind of nepotism exists throughout Congress because there's evidence of significant insider trading.

00:03:26.000 Allegedly!

00:03:26.000 Because just before that SVB, the Silicon Valley Bank, went down, guess whose kids were selling off their Silicon Valley Bank shares?

00:03:34.000 Well, it's one of them other banks, actually.

00:03:36.000 Yes, you guessed it.

00:03:37.000 Elected, paid-for politicians that you pay for out of your taxi dollars.

00:03:43.000 So, we'll be investigating that as well as getting Tucker on line one and feeding the dog.

00:03:48.000 A lot going on.

00:03:50.000 Okay, hey, look at the way that propaganda works.

00:03:52.000 This is brilliant, this is.

00:03:53.000 You'll see a story like this.

00:03:54.000 This is from the United Kingdom, which is where you get your language and where the Queen, God rest her soul, used to live until very recently.

00:04:01.000 This is, uh, Northern Railway asked passengers to stop watching porn on trains.

00:04:06.000 Now, you might think, perfectly reasonable request.

00:04:09.000 Yeah.

00:04:09.000 Don't watch pornography on a train.

00:04:11.000 Constantly look out the window.

00:04:12.000 Right.

00:04:13.000 Maybe make polite conversation. 0.98

00:04:16.000 Although actually I prefer, I'd rather they did watch porn than talk to me. 0.97

00:04:16.000 Yes. 0.97

00:04:19.000 Maybe read a bit of the mainstream news or something.

00:04:22.000 Have a look at some mainstream media.

00:04:23.000 But I don't like small talk on a train, do you?

00:04:25.000 No.

00:04:26.000 I'd rather that they were engaged in pornography and the likely behavioral activity that accompanies pornography.

00:04:33.000 You know, I'd rather that than talk to someone.

00:04:36.000 Yeah, although I think there's people in our, what would be, uh, Congress in the United States who were doing that in Parliament.

00:04:42.000 I think that's probably a bit... We had people in our Parliament doing that, yeah.

00:04:44.000 A bit more disrespectful, isn't it?

00:04:45.000 Well, look, at least they're not in transit, I suppose.

00:04:49.000 They're static in a parliamentary building.

00:04:51.000 But what we want to point out, it's not the puerility.

00:04:53.000 of this story, but the fact is, the fact that they'll use something that all of us will agree on, we don't think that people should be watching pornography and engaging in the accompanying uh, onanistic activity, to legitimize, look at the last, look at the last bit of it, uh, they've advised customers to refrain from searching offensive topics and inappropriate jokes, ah, and stop from search, stop them from searching explicit material and bad language on their wi-fi.

00:05:21.000 So what this will become about, Is to censorship.

00:05:24.000 Now I know this is a frivolous story but sometimes you can see in a fragment the whole.

00:05:30.000 You can see in a fractal the way that these patterns repeat themselves.

00:05:33.000 Let's have a look at the kind of broader corruption that sits at the top of American politics power pyramids in the form of lovely old Joe Biden who's expected any second now to announce that he's going to be running again even though mild perambulation for him seems like a challenge.

00:05:49.000 Let's see how the mainstream media are reporting on Joe Biden right now.

00:05:56.000 His re-election campaign as soon as tomorrow.

00:05:59.000 So, if he wins, America's oldest president could stay in office until he's 86 years old, and that may not sit well for a lot of Americans.

00:06:08.000 According to a new NBC News poll that shows 70% of Americans do not think Mr. Biden should run again, including 51% of Democrats.

00:06:18.000 Now, half of those who say he should not enter the 2024 race cite his age as a major reason why.

00:06:25.000 Major, minor, not a reason.

00:06:27.000 Not a reason is my favourite category of all of those things.

00:06:34.000 Hi, so this is a quote on corruption that might be useful to you.

00:06:39.000 Have a look at this.

00:06:40.000 This is the quote about the broader corruption in this story.

00:06:44.000 Isn't there a Biden corruption headline?

00:06:45.000 Biden campaign blink and orchestrate Intel letter to discredit Hunter Biden laptop story.

00:06:50.000 That's the former head of the CIA revealed that he was strong armed by the Biden administration

00:06:55.000 into providing the letter with 50 CIA signatories that was used to underwrite the invalidity

00:07:02.000 of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

00:07:05.000 Have a look at this quote about corruption.

00:07:07.000 Have a look at it.

00:07:08.000 And the so-called political processes of fraud our elected officials like our bureaucratic functionaries like even our judges are largely the indentured servants of the commercial interest.

00:07:17.000 Now this is where one story about a potentially corrupt President, I mean, let us know in the chat right now, if Joe Biden strong-armed the CIA into delegitimizing the Hunter Biden laptop story, would you call that corruption?

00:07:35.000 What about the stenographer that says that he heard Joe Biden and Hunter Biden chatting about the deal with Burisma and fracking and stuff?

00:07:44.000 We're starting now to accumulate a story of If not extraordinary corruption, it's appalling that it's not extraordinary.

00:07:50.000 It's the level of corruption that we accept within American politics, but politics in our country, the UK, too.

00:07:56.000 It's an acceptance that really our political leaders are, broadly speaking, serving commercial interests.

00:08:02.000 Yes, because their personal interests align more with financial, commercial and corporate interests than with the interests of the electorate.

00:08:10.000 Have a look at the SVB story now and the number of Congress folk who sold shares around the time that that banking crisis took place.

00:08:20.000 So have a look at this.

00:08:22.000 On March the 10th, Silicon Valley Bank collapses.

00:08:26.000 Also on March the 10th, children of Democratic representative Jared Moskowitz sell shares of Seacoast Banking Corporation worth $65,000 to $150,000 after Mr. Moskowitz attended a bipartisan congressional briefing on the bank in Tumult.

00:08:43.000 Then the very next day, Three days later that is, yeah.

00:08:48.000 Pardon?

00:08:48.000 Three days later.

00:08:49.000 Seacoast banking shares fell by nearly 20%.

00:08:51.000 At least eight members of Congress or their close relatives sold shares of bank stocks in March.

00:08:57.000 Some members were buying bank shares during the volatility.

00:09:00.000 Talk us through this bit, Gareth.

00:09:01.000 Yeah so I mean this is the case so obviously what was going on at the time this example of Mr Moskowitz is after that congressional briefing obviously had insider knowledge I mean I guess it's allegedly but it seems pretty obvious you think that during the bipartisan congressional briefing you would imagine so they went listen you tell you something Seacoast Banking It's gonna go down.

00:09:21.000 Those shares are going down.

00:09:23.000 Right.

00:09:23.000 Sell them!

00:09:24.000 But obviously it can work the other way as well.

00:09:26.000 So March 17th, Republican representative Nicole Malliotakis buys shares of New York community Bancorp after private discussions with New York State Bank regulators.

00:09:36.000 Are you suggesting that that conversation with the New York State Bank regulators contained information that led Nicole Malliotakis to buy those shares?

00:09:46.000 Or could it just be a coincidence?

00:09:48.000 I mean, it could be a huge coincidence.

00:09:49.000 He has the Chapman Bank regulators.

00:09:50.000 You know what that's put me in the mood for?

00:09:52.000 Acquisition of some chairs.

00:09:54.000 That's right, but everyone's selling theirs. 0.89

00:09:55.000 Oh yeah, you're right, it is probably a bit silly.

00:09:58.000 I'm gonna buy some though, on another hunch. 0.64

00:10:00.000 Right, another hunch.

00:10:01.000 So two days later, New York Community Bank Corp... There's more hunches in Congress than in Notre Dame Cathedral, baby!

00:10:07.000 Nice.

00:10:08.000 Thanks.

00:10:09.000 New York Community Bank Corp buys assets belonging to the failed Signature Bank, a deal that prompted its biggest share rally ever.

00:10:15.000 It never had a bigger one.

00:10:16.000 Yeah, so it doesn't matter whether they're buying or selling, they're making all the right choices over there in Congress.

00:10:21.000 Nepotism and corruption, systemic and institutional.

00:10:26.000 Well, how can we get it up For another four years of octogenarian Joe knowing that it seems at least that he is corrupt, that he used deep state facilities to crush a story that could prevent him from winning an election against Donald Trump.

00:10:44.000 And that also, furthermore, what's more, that he's getting his son little deals over there in the Ukraine.

00:10:51.000 I mean, if it was Donald Trump, do you think the mainstream media, the NBCs, etc., will be reporting on this more?

00:10:57.000 Do you think they'll be saying, hold on a minute, Donald Trump took Don Jr., our friend over at Rumble, over to Ukraine, got him a gig with Burisma, and he's using the CIA to repress information that could be negative?

00:11:08.000 I mean, isn't...

00:11:09.000 Trump right now being hauled through the courts of New York City on the basis of a hush payment that came from potentially legal fees or campaign funding.

00:11:17.000 I know it's a sort of a complex legislative and bureaucratic case, but we all know that whatever they're saying really is to take Trump out of the race.

00:11:25.000 And what I'm saying to you is that whether it's Biden or Trump, as long as the systems and institutions remain as corrupt

00:11:31.000 as they are, and they sit on a bedrock of corruption, because look at

00:11:34.000 that, it's normal.

00:11:35.000 During a three-year period, nearly a fifth of federal lawmakers,

00:11:38.000 or their immediate family, bought or sold stocks or other securities

00:11:42.000 that could have been affected by their legislative work.

00:11:44.000 Essentially, insider trading.

00:11:47.000 People in Congress that have connections as a result of their job

00:11:51.000 to certain stocks and shares and corporations have been involved in sales on those very stocks and shares.

00:11:56.000 That means it's deep deep in the institution doesn't it Gareth?

00:12:00.000 And obviously, this is a situation at the moment where, especially with the Biden stuff that's going on, is things are coming out, but there isn't transparency around it.

00:12:08.000 And this occurs at the same time as the Biden administration is poised to increase internet surveillance in response to those Pentagon papers that we have kind of talked about the last week or so, and the restrict act that they're bringing.

00:12:20.000 There's all ways of censoring and shutting down discussions, shutting down truth, when we're not able to glean any truth from the things that have been going on with them.

00:12:28.000 Centralising authoritarianism at a time where we do not trust authority at all.

00:12:34.000 We believe in democracy here at Stay Free.

00:12:36.000 Of course we do.

00:12:36.000 Freedom's what we believe in above all else.

00:12:38.000 That's why we've been polling you like it's 19 bloody 99 with this question.

00:12:44.000 What needs to be stopped first?

00:12:45.000 Lobbyists trading money for government favours?

00:12:47.000 Members of Congress owning stocks and shares in the companies that they regulate and legislate?

00:12:52.000 Four, or against, government censorship on free speech.

00:12:54.000 Which of those three things, and I reckon in future we should put A, B, C, and make that look sort of nice and clear, you know, like sort of a clear thing and look at the language a bit better.

00:13:03.000 A, B, C, sort of make it very clear.

00:13:05.000 Have we got some polling results on it right now that we can show?

00:13:08.000 Right now, 61% of you are concerned about free speech.

00:13:11.000 Well, that's good, because we are on a free speech platform and we've got a free speech guest coming up.

00:13:16.000 Later, we're going to be talking to Lee Fang, one of the Twitterphile legends, I'm calling him.

00:13:21.000 Yeah.

00:13:21.000 Those brave, proud journalists.

00:13:22.000 Did you see Tim Robbins' tweet about this?

00:13:25.000 Tim Robbins, a proud, lifelong Democrat.

00:13:28.000 Let's find that quote.

00:13:28.000 Such a Democrat.

00:13:30.000 Such a proud Democrat that he was openly ridiculed in that film, Team America.

00:13:35.000 No, you know, Because he was one of those ones that's always at the forefront, lobbying for campaigning.

00:13:39.000 His Rumble interview of us, if you've not seen it yet, you should have a look at the whole thing.

00:13:43.000 It's up on Rumble right now.

00:13:44.000 He did an extremely aggressive tweet.

00:13:46.000 We don't have it physically as a graphic.

00:13:49.000 Nice one, thank you very much.

00:13:50.000 Right, listen to what Tim Robbins said.

00:13:52.000 Recently, independent journalists like Matt Taibbi, Shellenberger and Barry Weiss have all been exposed in a massive censorship operation by the US government to control content on social media and eliminate any dissenting voices.

00:14:03.000 Have you read their reporting or are you listening to the embarrassed, compromised hacks from the media that are covering their tracks?

00:14:10.000 Nice rhyme, Tim.

00:14:11.000 Could be the most important story related to our personal freedoms in the US and it's being buried.

00:14:15.000 Mainstream media have not only ignored the story, but now attack the journalists, effectively serving as a thuggish censorship arm of the government.

00:14:22.000 Meanwhile, then a bunch of politicians threaten journalist Matt Taibbi with jail time.

00:14:27.000 What an embarrassing, shameful time for the Democrats and the free, inverted commas, press. 1.00

00:14:31.000 You are losing any shred of credibility you had, you effing fools. 0.99

00:14:34.000 And by the way, free Assange. 1.00

00:14:36.000 So there you go, Tim Robbins.

00:14:38.000 Like, I think what's happening now is that there's a real movement for independence in

00:14:43.000 American politics.

00:14:44.000 Let me know in the chat right now if you agree with this.

00:14:46.000 Like, there's new emergent voices, even within mainstream politics.

00:14:49.000 Someone like Rand Paul, like a little while ago, Bernie Sanders, people were saying.

00:14:53.000 And, like, people like, I don't know, Robert Kennedy, stand for president.

00:14:57.000 Do you think we should have him on the show, by the way?

00:14:58.000 Because I think we could have him as a guest.

00:14:59.000 Let's get him on.

00:15:00.000 But people are like, oh no, he's anti-vax and all that kind of stuff.

00:15:03.000 He's a lot of other things as well.

00:15:05.000 He's very much anti-war.

00:15:05.000 He's anti-war, he's anti-corruption.

00:15:07.000 I think we need some of those voices at the moment.

00:15:08.000 He's a Kennedy!

00:15:09.000 He's a voice that we need!

00:15:11.000 Isn't he?

00:15:11.000 Is he?

00:15:12.000 Well, I think we should talk to him.

00:15:13.000 Do you want him on?

00:15:14.000 People do.

00:15:15.000 Who he is more than anti-vax is Alex Overton, Overton Window.

00:15:18.000 Yes, says Ginny Phoenix, I think.

00:15:20.000 Of course, I'm not that... I've not got good eyes.

00:15:22.000 Right there, but another one of the voices that's taking people to task is Rand Paul.

00:15:28.000 Ram Paul, in a minute we're going to be talking about the pharmaceutical industry very seriously with Lee Fangs for the memory fang.

00:15:35.000 He's going to make a revelation about Pfizer and Pfizer's expenditure that's going to knock you on your bottom.

00:15:40.000 It's going to bend your bones, this one.

00:15:42.000 When you hear about what Pfizer have been doing with their money, it's fascinating.

00:15:47.000 We couldn't say it on YouTube, it's too controversial.

00:15:48.000 You want to get rid of that tattoo?

00:15:50.000 Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you're gonna be getting... Cover it up! 0.99

00:15:53.000 Get ready for that, getting pinged off your little old body as quick as an ex-wife! 1.00

00:15:57.000 Like, I reckon that, yeah, you're gonna love that story, but let's have a look at Rand Paul exposing, if that's the right word, some of the ludicrous expenditure that the pharmaceutical industry lays out on experiments that I don't think are worth undertaking.

00:16:12.000 Listen to this!

00:16:13.000 My most recent report uncovered $482 billion in government waste.

00:16:18.000 For example, NIH spent more than 1.1 million to get mice drunk.

00:16:24.000 How much do mice drink?

00:16:28.000 For God's sake, they can really handle their booze, the mice.

00:16:31.000 Apparently we're not aware of what happens when you drink too much.

00:16:35.000 2.3 million dollars to inject six-month-old beagle puppies with cocaine.

00:16:39.000 Apparently there's not enough evidence of what happens to humans on cocaine.

00:16:43.000 So the beagles, they could have sniffed that.

00:16:46.000 Right.

00:16:46.000 As well, because injecting it's not an effective, it is effective, I mean economically effective, don't do drugs, drugs are bad.

00:16:53.000 But I'm talking purely in the context of these scientific experimentations which are taking place that Rand Paul's talking about.

00:17:00.000 The beagles, if you put it on another beagle's bum, they would sniff that up.

00:17:04.000 Would that be your way of achieving it?

00:17:06.000 I've got to say, if you were a scientist, obviously we all know you are one.

00:17:10.000 In a way I am a scientist!

00:17:11.000 If I was down at the labs, living it up in Wuhan where we're pretty lax in our lab in Wuhan, I'd go...

00:17:19.000 Pop a couple of G's on that beagle's body, because I got a hunch that some science is going to happen around here.

00:17:25.000 How much are you being paid for that?

00:17:27.000 Several billion dollars.

00:17:28.000 I want taxpayer dollars for that, whether you like it or not.

00:17:31.000 You don't get to vote.

00:17:32.000 Mind your own business.

00:17:34.000 Fauci decide what happened with them dollar bills.

00:17:37.000 And let's see what the magical third is.

00:17:38.000 So we've got a drunk mice coked up beagles. 1.00

00:17:41.000 Also, though, three million dollars to watch hamsters fight on steroids.

00:17:47.000 That's how much you'd be willing to pay to see it.

00:17:50.000 I mean, which one of those?

00:17:52.000 So we've got another poll for you.

00:17:53.000 We're running two polls simultaneously.

00:17:56.000 What do you want to see more of with your taxpayer dollars?

00:17:59.000 Mice getting drunk, drugs, drugged up Beagles even if they've been inefficiently administered

00:18:04.000 intravenously when they could be administered nasally which I think is how more people do

00:18:08.000 cocaine, although I would endorse that obviously as drugs are bad and I'm as you know drug

00:18:14.000 free. Or do you want to see some steroided up hamsters brawling? 1.00

00:18:18.000 A lot of people are saying roided hamster cage fighting.

00:18:21.000 That's what Rogue Nation saying.

00:18:23.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:18:24.000 Almost as if it was well-spoken.

00:18:25.000 Some people say that's cruel to animals and not to do any of it.

00:18:28.000 That's an interesting perspective.

00:18:30.000 That's an interesting perspective.

00:18:32.000 Nearly, I would say, not a solid majority.

00:18:35.000 A lot of you are going for the hamsters.

00:18:36.000 A lot of you want to see the little drunk mice though, to see what they're like.

00:18:40.000 Best mate! 0.59

00:18:41.000 I don't know what they're like.

00:18:43.000 Okay.

00:18:44.000 Hey, listen, we're going to flip over now to being exclusively on Rumble because we've got Lee Fang coming up.

00:18:50.000 Now, Lee Fang is one of the Twitterphile legends that Tim Robbins vocally advocates for.

00:18:55.000 Lee Fang has been doing actual journalism, revealing the relationship between the Deep State and social media organisations.

00:19:04.000 Lee Fang He's investigating pharmaceutical companies.

00:19:07.000 Li Fang is doing what journalists are supposed to do, convey difficult, challenging, truthful information to the rest of us so that we can make informed decisions for ourselves rather than being deluged in untruths, censored to within an inch of our lives and surveilled all the way to Belmarsh.

00:19:26.000 So we're going to leave you now because there's a lot of stuff that Lee Fang's going to say and this is an exclusive conversation with Lee.

00:19:30.000 I believe he's about to simultaneously release the article on Substack in an exciting moment.

00:19:36.000 Very exciting on the day that Tucker resigns.

00:19:37.000 I'm going to call Tucker again.

00:19:39.000 It's a very exclusive day.

00:19:41.000 Almost everything's excluded.

00:19:42.000 Nothing's in here.

00:19:45.000 So goodbye YouTube.

00:19:46.000 Goodbye.

00:19:46.000 We love you.

00:19:48.000 Join us, join us here.

00:19:48.000 Rumble!

00:19:50.000 So, please, welcome to the show.

00:19:52.000 It's Lee Fang, an independent journalist who worked on Twitter Files.

00:19:54.000 He now writes an investigative newsletter on Substack and he's the author of The Machine, a field guide to the resurgent riot.

00:20:01.000 Thanks for joining us, Lee.

00:20:02.000 It's great to see you, mate.

00:20:04.000 I'm humbled by the intro.

00:20:05.000 It's really good to be with you.

00:20:06.000 Oh, thank you.

00:20:07.000 Thank you for your humility and your grace.

00:20:11.000 Mate, we want to start with the exclusive story.

00:20:13.000 As I understand it, Pfizer are attempting to sort of set up grassroots organizations that are lobbying for COVID vaccine mandates.

00:20:21.000 I'm sure I'm mangling that somewhat, but it sounds like Pfizer are spending money to create apparently authentic voices advocating for vaccine mandates.

00:20:30.000 Is that what's happening, Li Fang?

00:20:32.000 Well, look, this story basically takes a look in 2021 when in the United States, we had multifaceted mandates, you know, mandates enacted by I live in California and San Francisco.

00:20:44.000 There were very restrictive mandates here.

00:20:46.000 But, you know, across the country, including the Biden administration in September of 2021, enacted a very kind of strong mandate with no exemption for prior immunity or, you know, kind of natural immunity or prior infection, natural immunity.

00:21:03.000 And, you know, Pfizer was not playing a kind of visible role here.

00:21:08.000 They didn't comment on any of the articles.

00:21:10.000 They weren't really talking to the press.

00:21:12.000 You saw consumer groups, civil rights groups, patient groups, doctor groups, you know, public health organizations all saying, you know, these mandates are necessary.

00:21:22.000 Even though there wasn't a lot of scientific evidence to support the basis that, you know, we needed these mandates, that, you know, they were sold to us with The claim that they would stop transmission of the virus.

00:21:34.000 You had this coalition of community groups saying we need the mandate.

00:21:39.000 Well, I'm taking a look at new disclosures that show that many of those organizations, these third-party organizations with a lot more credibility than a pharmaceutical company with a lot of money to gain, were taking funds from Pfizer while lobbying for these controversial policies.

00:21:56.000 So, you know, I list them out.

00:21:57.000 I talked to a lot of experts.

00:21:59.000 It's a story I just published right before coming onto your show on my Substack.

00:22:03.000 We're very excited to receive this exclusivity from you, Lee, and at the risk of diminishing your contribution, you're getting a lot of love in the chat.

00:22:12.000 Notably, Pride Faults, who says, simply, babe alert.

00:22:18.000 That's an objectifying comment, I believe, about your physical appearance, but we'll probably get some more on that.

00:22:24.000 That's going to be coming up.

00:22:25.000 Another exclusive.

00:22:26.000 Another exclusive. 0.96

00:22:27.000 Lee Fang is sexually attractive. 0.78

00:22:30.000 Let's have... Yep, no, there's more of it.

00:22:32.000 Oh, it's getting... No, it's getting quite rude now.

00:22:34.000 Stop that! 1.00

00:22:34.000 That's enough! 1.00

00:22:35.000 Oh, that's made me... Objective, yep, this is all happening.

00:22:39.000 So, can we have a look at this, some of the FIES lobbying stats?

00:22:42.000 We'll just talk you through this, Lee, stuff that you all obviously know.

00:22:45.000 Can you pull that for me?

00:22:47.000 Pfizer CEO Albert Baller is the treasurer of the Pharmaceutical Lobbying Group, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America.

00:22:54.000 Pharma spent a total of $140 million over that, in fact, on lobbying between 2019 and 2022, as well as the pharmaceutical industry being the largest single advertiser on mainstream media.

00:23:07.000 75% of all their ad revenue comes from the pharmaceutical Industry Lee.

00:23:11.000 So we're talking about an almost immersive omnipotence.

00:23:14.000 They've got power in every direction as well as it appears as a result of your exclusive there to be investing in apparently organic and authentic voices that are, you know, pro-mandate or pro-vaccination.

00:23:28.000 What chance do we have of real democracy?

00:23:31.000 What chance do we have of legitimate open conversations when an organization can exert that much power over that Well, look, you know, the figures you just cited were the ones that have to be disclosed.

00:23:46.000 You know, that's when they hire, you know, a former member of Congress or a staffer to go and wine and dine, you know, a policymaker or regulator.

00:23:54.000 They have to disclose most of that funding, that spending.

00:23:58.000 But So much they don't have to disclose, how much they're spending on television, how much they're spending on TikTok ads, how much they're giving to these front groups or these doctors groups or these public health groups that kind of set the nature of the debate.

00:24:11.000 They kind of appear in the news media, they create events.

00:24:15.000 And they created a discourse that looks authentic, that looks organic, but it benefits the bottom line of their benefactors, of companies like Pfizer.

00:24:24.000 And, you know, the vaccine debate is, you know, I think it's fraught.

00:24:27.000 It's interesting because this has shaped our lives in the last three years of the pandemic.

00:24:32.000 But it's, you know, it's also not that unique in the sense that every major pharmaceutical company in the United States engages in these practices.

00:24:39.000 They pressure regulators, they spend so much money on direct-to-consumer advertising, and really they kind of just dominate the entire public policy debate.

00:24:50.000 So, you know, we can talk about a lot of other special interest groups, but pharma is unique in just the raw amounts of money they spend to control the entire public sector On regulatory, on policy, on really everything in terms of how it affects medicine and as it's practiced in the United States.

00:25:09.000 Lee Fang, what specific groups did they fund, mate?

00:25:14.000 Do any of them stand out?

00:25:15.000 Does it seem particularly manipulative or deceptive?

00:25:20.000 Any of the groups that have like legitimacy or authenticity that is surprising?

00:25:25.000 Let's just talk about a few of them.

00:25:26.000 You know, in Chicago, there's a very kind of controversial vaccine mandate.

00:25:31.000 There are also discussions about vaccine passports.

00:25:35.000 And, you know, a large percentage of the African-American, the Black community in that city was not vaccinated in 2021.

00:25:43.000 And one of the oldest African-American civil rights groups, the Urban League, Chicago Urban League, went out into the media and was asked, you know, would this mandate hurt the African-American community?

00:25:55.000 Would it kind of push them to the sidelines?

00:25:58.000 And she was very clear in lobbying and pushing back against that, saying, no, the mandate's worth it.

00:26:03.000 It's worth it for our community.

00:26:05.000 She never mentioned that, you know, just prior to that interview, a few months prior to the interview, she received a $100,000 check from Pfizer, not mentioned during the interview, not mentioned on the Urban League's website.

00:26:17.000 It's not disclosed until this morning, until right before appearing on your show.

00:26:21.000 The Consumer's League of America, I mean, this is another Consumer advocacy group that's kind of famous for standing up to corporate power, you know, founded over 100 years ago fighting against monopolies.

00:26:33.000 They're a group that kind of mysteriously endorsed the mandates In 2021, again, they received big money from Pfizer and even has a Pfizer lobbyist on its board.

00:26:44.000 You know, these are intricate relationships that aren't disclosed to the people reading these press releases who are getting pressured by these groups, and it's affecting the entire debate.

00:26:52.000 It's affecting how regulators see these issues, and it also affects how the public sees this.

00:26:57.000 When they see these third-party groups That have some credibility.

00:27:01.000 You know, these are kind of famous organizations that are known for standing up for the public interest when they're saying, hey, these mandates are a good idea for the American public.

00:27:09.000 It seems genuine.

00:27:10.000 They're just not disclosing the Pfizer money, which I think, you know, is a relevant factor here when you're talking about a policy that compels Americans to take this product.

00:27:19.000 Yeah, I think that should be at the beginning of the endorsement.

00:27:22.000 Eventually, African-American people should take these vaccines. 1.00

00:27:26.000 Also, earlier, a minute ago actually, I just got $100,000 from Pfizer, who I think they do sell vaccines and they would potentially financially benefit.

00:27:36.000 If it can't be explicit, you can't have democracy, I think what the danger we have now, Lee, is we've reached the point where there's such Mass distrust in government, mass distrust and mistrust of media, and there seems to be no attempt to rectify that through authenticity and morality and principled action, but through the increase of censorship, through the increase of control.

00:28:04.000 With Matt Taibbi, your mate, your fellow Twitterphile journalist, he's being threatened with jail now, I understand, and I don't know how much traction that's got, and I pray that it isn't something that happens.

00:28:18.000 Matt Taibbi's a friend of ours, we love him, the croaky-voiced, drum-kit-perched, cap-wearing, so-called journalist sweetheart that he is.

00:28:28.000 Do you worry yourself that we're reaching a point that free speech is actually something that you could be in prison for?

00:28:37.000 And if you're Julian Assange, you're already in prison for it.

00:28:40.000 I mean, I've looked at, I've covered Congress for the last 15 years.

00:28:44.000 I've never seen anything like this.

00:28:46.000 And there are a lot of Uh, experts and people brought in to testify, uh, who mislead, who get the facts wrong, who, you know, they engage in all kinds of kind of scurrilous behavior.

00:28:57.000 And I've never seen behavior like this in terms of a member of Congress in response.

00:29:01.000 And Matt Taibbi, for the record, I don't know if your audience has seen this letter.

00:29:06.000 I exclusively obtained it and published it last week on my sub stack.

00:29:11.000 But after testifying on March 9th, Matt Taibbi had a back and forth

00:29:15.000 with one of the members of Congress, Democrat named Stacey Plaskett.

00:29:20.000 She's the one who called her, Taibbi and Schellenberger, a so-called journalist.

00:29:24.000 You know, very aggressive kind of questioning.

00:29:28.000 But, you know, that's par for the course in politics.

00:29:31.000 You know, you can get aggressive with a witness.

00:29:33.000 What's unusual is this letter afterwards that took a quote from Matt Tybee saying that an arm of the Department of Homeland Security had worked with one of these disinfo NGOs that's, you know, partially backed by Stanford University as they were pressuring Twitter on content moderation policies.

00:29:52.000 Uh, that Twitter did not distinguish between the private sector and the public sector when they were receiving these censorship requests.

00:29:58.000 That was the entire quote.

00:30:00.000 Baskett is threatening prison for that quote.

00:30:03.000 That wasn't 100% accurate.

00:30:04.000 You know, I published more emails.

00:30:05.000 There's tons of comments.

00:30:06.000 Everyone who's been reporting and looking at these internal Twitter files sees it.

00:30:09.000 It's the FBI.

00:30:10.000 It's the arm of the DHS called CISA.

00:30:13.000 These government agencies that are exerting incredible levels of pressure on social media firms, including today, although we don't have the same kind of purview, the same kind of visibility that we had under the Twitter files, but it's certainly happening to other platforms as well, including Discord and Facebook and others.

00:30:30.000 Um, but yeah, I've never seen this letter taking a true quote, an accurate quote from Matt Taibbi and saying this was an example of perjury that you could face up to five years of imprisonment for, for telling the truth.

00:30:44.000 It's also true, I understand, that Facebook have been censoring Seymour Hershey's reporting on the Nord Stream pipeline.

00:30:44.000 It's extraordinary.

00:30:51.000 This value of free speech, according to our poll, let's have another look at that poll.

00:30:55.000 I think a lot of our audience are deeply concerned about free speech and it seems that the free speech argument is increasingly being connected, I think, through centralised media narratives with, you know, right-wing extremism.

00:31:10.000 And it seems that there's an attempt to, yeah here it is, like 60% of our audience that we're currently polling say that free speech is the issue that concerns the most out of a whole bunch of significant little issues there.

00:31:23.000 Do you think that we're reaching some kind of tipping point where credible, lifelong Pulitzer Prize winning journalists like Seymour Hersh are being sort of shut down and censored?

00:31:34.000 What do you think, how do you think, do you think there's like new alliances that we can make to ensure that we can continue to speak freely?

00:31:41.000 Well, look, you know, I grew up in the Washington, D.C.

00:31:43.000 area in the suburbs, Prince George's County, and the war in Iraq kind of radicalized me and motivated me to get involved in media and politics, just seeing kind of the entire mainstream media basically in lockstep Repeating the Bush administration's drive to go to war and their claims about weapons of mass destruction and a war on terror.

00:32:04.000 And I, you know, I had such great hopes for the promise of the open internet as a corrective to government censorship, that with more voices we'd have a better chance of getting to the truth, especially when it comes to these life and death foreign policy issues.

00:32:19.000 I mean, there's nothing bigger And the war in Ukraine is kind of an example of how I was wrong.

00:32:24.000 The internet is quickly becoming different.

00:32:29.000 We're getting organized into little walled gardens.

00:32:31.000 We're getting pushed into just a small number of platforms.

00:32:34.000 Those platforms are coordinating with government.

00:32:37.000 And they're attempting to squelch the truth.

00:32:40.000 At the same time, we have, you know, because of these big social media firms draining the advertising revenue from legacy newspapers, we just have less journalists too.

00:32:49.000 So it's all bad.

00:32:50.000 You know, I did a story last year looking at how a whistleblower from the Department of Homeland Security basically told us that the Department of Homeland Security Their next big agenda item is working with social media companies to correct quote-unquote disinformation about the war in Ukraine, Russia.

00:33:09.000 I mean, this is an issue where we don't know the truth.

00:33:12.000 You know, we see a lot of war propaganda.

00:33:14.000 We see a lot of claims about, you know, the readiness of Ukraine or, you know, what have you about Russia.

00:33:20.000 But there's not a lot of independent reporting.

00:33:22.000 There's not a lot of skeptical reporting.

00:33:24.000 We need more voices, but how do you reach those voices if we're only on a few platforms and those platforms are coordinating with the government to squelch out voices of dissent?

00:33:35.000 Yeah, we've been talking a lot about the restrict act that appears to be being sort of caressed into the public debate.

00:33:44.000 What was that public news article we read, Gareth?

00:33:46.000 Who's it by?

00:33:47.000 I want to say Leighton Baines, but I know he's a former Everton left back.

00:33:50.000 Leighton Woodhouse.

00:33:51.000 Leighton Woodhouse.

00:33:52.000 Yeah, Leighton Baines won't be writing about that.

00:33:54.000 He'll be focusing much more on coming out from the back, ball playing left back.

00:33:58.000 Brilliant player, actually.

00:33:59.000 But Leighton Woodhouse was talking about how in order to legitimise censorship, you have to create the problem of misinformation, disinformation, malinformation.

00:34:10.000 Because without it now, there are too many independent voices, too much capacity for investigation.

00:34:15.000 It's for one narrative to dominate in the way that it could have done sort of, you know, before the advent of these technologies.

00:34:23.000 So while there was sort of briefly this utopian possibility of free speech, open communication, thorough investigation, it's being, you can see now, it's being sort of legislated against.

00:34:34.000 There's smear campaigns against independent voices.

00:34:37.000 People are being threatened with prison.

00:34:39.000 It's unprecedented and extraordinary.

00:34:42.000 Do you think that this Restrict Act, which we had explained to us, is like the Patriot Act after 9-11?

00:34:50.000 It's like using, for example, the recent Pentagon Papers to underwrite this censorial legislation.

00:34:58.000 Do you think this is the sort of thing that will go through, mate?

00:35:02.000 Well, just again to compare it to the War on Terror and the Bush administration, they used the claim that, you know, you were in league with terrorists, you know, you were a jihadi or whatever to polarize the debate, to, you know, stigmatize any voices of dissent.

00:35:16.000 We see that again today.

00:35:17.000 You know, we just have a different vocabulary, a different kind of cultural moment. You know, we say that someone is

00:35:23.000 hateful, they're, you know, spreading hate speech, they're extremists, or they're spreading disinformation

00:35:28.000 or malinformation.

00:35:29.000 And, you know, obviously no one supports intentional misinformation or intentional hate,

00:35:34.000 but these attempts to stigmatize whistleblowers or journalists with these kind of classifications

00:35:41.000 to marginalize them, it's emotionally arresting, you know, it doesn't...

00:35:47.000 That's the kind of language you use to push someone to the side and say, don't listen to them and censor them.

00:35:52.000 That's what the government's doing.

00:35:53.000 That's what these government-funded NGOs are doing.

00:35:56.000 There's a whole network of organizations that are part of this.

00:35:59.000 Even for me, I launched my sub stack.

00:36:01.000 I went independent for the first time in nine years.

00:36:06.000 And with my first story out, you know, out the gate, I had an MSNBC host saying that, you know, I was just writing about the Department of Homeland Security, you know, accusing me of being a bigot or something.

00:36:16.000 I mean, this is the strategy for marginalizing independent voices of dissent.

00:36:22.000 Lee, I'm really glad that you've moved to Substack.

00:36:26.000 We recommend that everyone who follows our work follows Lee Fang.

00:36:31.000 He's a fantastic journalist and if you were willing to introduce perhaps photographs of yourself with your top off or just in some Bermuda shorts, I think you might gain more followers.

00:36:40.000 That's just advice based on what some of the things I'm seeing in the chat here from our locals community that people can join to essentially objectify our guest.

00:36:49.000 Absolutely.

00:36:50.000 Thank you for joining us and providing people that are sexually attracted to men with some free midday pornography.

00:36:57.000 Even though we did a story today about people masturbating on public transport, from the perspective of... it wasn't a good thing. 0.98

00:37:04.000 I wonder how they'd feel about masturbating to Lee's Substack. 0.95

00:37:07.000 Let's do a poll on do you think it's acceptable to masturbate over Lee Fang's substack imagery of him in his vacation wear, or do you think that's wrong? 0.96

00:37:18.000 We'll do a poll on that, Lee, and we'll send you the results, and perhaps you can do an article on that.

00:37:22.000 Well, you've got to be the top-level tier for that, but like and subscribe, you know. 0.99

00:37:28.000 You've got to paywall that shit, Lee! 1.00

00:37:30.000 Paywall that! 1.00

00:37:31.000 All right, Lee, thanks for joining us, mate.

00:37:33.000 It's fantastic to speak to you.

00:37:35.000 Thanks so much.

00:37:36.000 I appreciate it, Russell.

00:37:37.000 Thank you so much, mate.

00:37:37.000 Fantastic guest.

00:37:39.000 There you go.

00:37:40.000 Lee Fang there.

00:37:41.000 Finally, Lee Fang.

00:37:42.000 Lee Fang! 1.00

00:37:43.000 Wasn't he great?

00:37:44.000 Worth waiting for.

00:37:45.000 Thanks for the memories?

00:37:45.000 Was that the...?

00:37:46.000 Thanks for being so sexy.

00:37:48.000 Right.

00:37:48.000 That's what I say to Lee Fang.

00:37:50.000 They love him in there.

00:37:51.000 He should be a regular contributor.

00:37:51.000 I'm not surprised.

00:37:53.000 Agreed.

00:37:53.000 Why don't he take down his trousers and pants?

00:37:55.000 Did they say that?

00:37:56.000 I like a slappy... Is this you?

00:37:58.000 This is you at this point, isn't it? 0.83

00:38:00.000 I wanna kiss Lee Fang.

00:38:01.000 This is you.

00:38:02.000 So what if I'm married to Laura Brand?

00:38:04.000 Hold on, that's weird, that one.

00:38:05.000 Yeah.

00:38:06.000 That one didn't make sense.

00:38:06.000 That's weird.

00:38:07.000 Behave, said Alex Overton-Window.

00:38:10.000 Yep, look at that.

00:38:11.000 People, once your photos are online, we can do what we want with them.

00:38:13.000 Some people saying simply stop.

00:38:16.000 Oh, some people saying Gareth is sexy.

00:38:18.000 That's from Brooklyn M. Do we need a competition, though? 0.52

00:38:22.000 A sex contest?

00:38:24.000 No, we don't, because that's not what we're about here, as a matter of fact.

00:38:27.000 Don't get distracted.

00:38:28.000 We're trying to awaken people.

00:38:29.000 Don't even start up this.

00:38:31.000 A couple of guys with a dream to end up in a sex contest.

00:38:35.000 Or did we?

00:38:36.000 Maybe we did.

00:38:37.000 Maybe we did do that.

00:38:39.000 But before we move into the hot world of sex contests, do you sometimes worry that you're being prepped for another bloody international conflict, this time with the superpower that is China? 0.92

00:38:54.000 There are US defence contractors, I think they're in Taiwan right now, hawking their wares is how I'm going to describe it.

00:39:02.000 Shall I say that?

00:39:03.000 That's what they're doing.

00:39:05.000 And we've got to ask you in this deep investigation that we've conducted, are the US solely interested in protecting Taiwan from a giant aggressor, or are they the aggressor themselves?

00:39:16.000 Here's the news.

00:39:17.000 No, here's the effing news.

00:39:19.000 Thanks for accusing Fox News.

00:39:21.000 Here's the news. 0.99

00:39:22.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.98

00:39:24.000 If the US are genuinely interested in protecting Taiwan, why is it representatives of the defence industry that get 0.99

00:39:32.000 sent over there?

00:39:33.000 Would they make any money out of potentially causing World War 3 with China? 0.90

00:39:41.000 Right now the American defense industry, aka the military-industrial complex, are sending representatives of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc.

00:39:49.000 to Taiwan in order to help them.

00:39:51.000 What kind of help?

00:39:52.000 Missiles and stuff?

00:39:53.000 Is this help got strings attached?

00:39:55.000 You bet it's got strings. 0.85

00:39:57.000 Green dollar bill strings.

00:39:58.000 Tendrils made of money attaching you to the US economy.

00:40:03.000 Are the US a kind of benign force going around the world helping people that are being picked on by bully nations?

00:40:10.000 Or are they agitators continually creating new conflict in order to feed the insatiable beast that is the military-industrial complex?

00:40:18.000 Let's have a look at this story while we answer the question, Taiwan, Ukraine too?

00:40:23.000 Are you ready for another Ukraine? 0.98

00:40:24.000 I mean, aren't we just, are we still in Ukraine?

00:40:26.000 Around 25 US defense contractors plan to send representatives to Taiwan next month.

00:40:32.000 Marking the first time the arms industry will send a delegation to the island since 2019.

00:40:36.000 Not that long ago.

00:40:38.000 The planned arms industry trip to Taiwan comes as the US is looking to ramp up arms sales and general military cooperation with Taiwan, which will further exacerbate tensions with Beijing.

00:40:49.000 This is the problem with their economic model.

00:40:50.000 It needs to continually escalate and grow.

00:40:53.000 Whether it's energy companies or now the military-industrial machine, it requires limitless growth.

00:40:59.000 Growth in this instance means people always buying weapons.

00:41:02.000 So that's, I think, just a really simple analysis of what's happening.

00:41:05.000 Which means you have to create the conditions in which people will buy weapons.

00:41:08.000 And people don't buy weapons if there are treaties and peace deals and armistices

00:41:13.000 and a general sense of goodwill to all mankind, individual personal awakening, good community

00:41:19.000 relationships.

00:41:20.000 People don't buy weapons under those circumstances. 0.98

00:41:21.000 So these visits, do you imagine that what it is, is, oh shit, right, is there anyone? 0.89

00:41:26.000 Anyone at all we can help? 0.95

00:41:27.000 Yeah, Taiwan, they're under all sorts of pressure.

00:41:29.000 Should we get over there and just see if, I don't know, maybe they want some answers?

00:41:32.000 Or do you think it's, we've got this business model, this is what's happening in the next quarter, this is what's likely to happen when eventually the Russia-Ukraine situation peters out, why don't we get this lined up so we can tell our shareholders, you know how the world works, don't you?

00:41:43.000 This is how the world works.

00:41:44.000 The delegation plans to meet with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, who recently provoked major Chinese military drills by meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California.

00:41:55.000 Let's have a look.

00:41:55.000 It's a decades-long battle for sovereignty from China.

00:41:58.000 That's the situation.

00:41:59.000 A decades-long struggle for sovereignty from China.

00:42:03.000 That's what we're being told.

00:42:04.000 I don't know if there's more complexity to the relationship between Taiwan and former European colonial powers like Spain and Portugal.

00:42:11.000 I don't know if Taiwan has formerly been colonised by Japan, a historic enemy of China.

00:42:16.000 I don't know if China have strategically had to occupy Taiwan in the past to prevent colonial and imperial powers impeding on their territory.

00:42:24.000 What I will tell you is that the US literally have China surrounded by military bases.

00:42:29.000 So if China do feel insecure and threatened, you could argue there is some legitimacy to that, in the same way that you could say that NATO expansion provoked Russia. 0.95

00:42:39.000 Without saying that Russia's war is not criminal, you can still say Russia's actions in Ukraine are criminal, the deaths are unnecessary, Putin is a monster.

00:42:46.000 All of that can be true, while simultaneously saying, hey, hang on a minute, America appear to have been, through NATO expansion, agitating for that conflict.

00:42:54.000 Are they doing that now?

00:42:55.000 I'm trying to remember this, trying to remember this for in two years time or three years

00:42:59.000 time when you hear, Chinese forces were flying planes over neutral waters were bombed, we

00:43:04.000 found that they'll start doing that stuff.

00:43:06.000 The media you've seen again and again won't inquire, interrogate or legitimately question

00:43:12.000 the intentions of the government, they'll just say what they want them to say.

00:43:15.000 You saw that with this whistleblower lad, Buddy Texera.

00:43:18.000 Should this have happened?

00:43:19.000 How can we stop it happening again?

00:43:20.000 Why did it happen?

00:43:21.000 Not once did they say, hold on a minute, are there US troops actually fighting Russia?

00:43:24.000 You said there weren't.

00:43:25.000 Do you not really believe that it's possible that Ukraine are ever going to regain this territory?

00:43:29.000 Is there no hope for a peace deal in 2023?

00:43:31.000 All stuff that's being denied and not discussed was revealed.

00:43:34.000 Those revelations are never discussed because what the media do, as you will see in this story, is they convey to you the preferred narrative of the powerful.

00:43:41.000 Not a counter-narrative, which surely should be at least part of their job.

00:43:45.000 Let me know in the comments in the chat if you agree.

00:43:47.000 And today, the Taiwanese president held her highest level meeting with a powerful ally,

00:43:52.000 the United States.

00:43:53.000 It's the first time a meeting like this takes place on US soil since 1979.

00:43:58.000 This comes as tensions in the Taiwan Strait continue to escalate.

00:44:02.000 Tensions don't just escalate like eczema or asthma, they are being agitated now, probably

00:44:08.000 through this media campaign, probably through this defense contractor visit, probably by

00:44:13.000 by encroachment of bases all around China. 0.99

00:44:16.000 China aren't just like, oh right, let's do this shit now. 0.98

00:44:19.000 That's what we're told, in order to legitimise and justify these actions. 0.99

00:44:23.000 Elsewhere you'll see Biden talking about, we're going to shut down this trade deal, we're going to control this, we're going to introduce these sanctions.

00:44:29.000 It's a sort of a global approach to creating the conditions in which the system can continue to flourish.

00:44:35.000 It's beneficial if there's tensions, it's beneficial if there's wars, beneficial if there's arms sales, beneficial if you have domestic populations terrified of ongoing war.

00:44:42.000 There's no loss for them because they live in a different world to you.

00:44:45.000 And it works to bolster its military readiness amid fears they could face the same fate as Ukraine.

00:44:51.000 This is a bit like Ukraine.

00:44:53.000 It's over there, Ukraine.

00:44:55.000 It's Ukraine of the East. 0.95

00:44:57.000 This morning, we look at the worry in Taiwan that China will attack it someday.

00:45:02.000 Why's it got this sort of jazzy little bass line?

00:45:05.000 Got news for you guys.

00:45:06.000 World War III is a-comin'.

00:45:07.000 You thought it was bad to provoke Russia in a secret proxy war?

00:45:10.000 Well, if the conflict with Russia was Infinity Wars, then this is Endgame. 0.77

00:45:15.000 You're gonna love this unnecessary movie war that we're creating for you right now.

00:45:19.000 A U.S. 0.66

00:45:20.000 warship yesterday sailed through the Taiwan Strait, separating the island from China, a narrow body of water there.

00:45:26.000 And it followed days of Chinese military drills around Taiwan.

00:45:31.000 So here we go, here's the stories about military drills.

00:45:33.000 Now there's the warship.

00:45:34.000 Is the warship a provocation or a counter-provocation?

00:45:38.000 If it was a Chinese warship down the Gulf of Mexico or along the side California or whatever or sailing into Manhattan, oh well, you know, we were doing drills. 0.70

00:45:48.000 What is the legitimacy of this power?

00:45:50.000 Just for a moment, stop and say, wait, what right did the United States have?

00:45:55.000 And it's not United States people.

00:45:56.000 It's not people in some farm somewhere in Minnesota.

00:45:58.000 It's not people working in a factory in Milwaukee.

00:46:00.000 It's not ordinary Americans they represent. 0.99

00:46:02.000 They don't care about ordinary Americans. 0.95

00:46:04.000 You're fodder. 1.00

00:46:04.000 You die. 1.00

00:46:05.000 You're cannon fodder. 0.99

00:46:06.000 You're TV fodder.

00:46:07.000 You're sugar fodder.

00:46:08.000 This is legitimization of an economic exercise in the guise of military interventionism.

00:46:14.000 The US Navy called the voyage a routine movement.

00:46:18.000 That was just a routine movement.

00:46:20.000 We got these routines where routinely we provoke superpowers in order to create tension so the military-industrial complex who we give 50% of the Pentagon budget to, not that you'd know from an audit because we've not completed the last five, and then we can routinely have an unnecessary war where like Taiwanese people will die so everyone's a winner. 0.97

00:46:40.000 What about Taiwan?

00:46:41.000 Oh no, they lose.

00:46:42.000 Like Ukraine! 0.99

00:46:43.000 Taiwan's steep coast and mountainous terrain make it something of a natural fortress.

00:46:48.000 But not a good fortress, so you're gonna need some missiles.

00:46:51.000 But China's People's Liberation Army could well mount an attack anyway, so Taiwan is beefing up its military.

00:46:59.000 And training with new US weapons.

00:47:01.000 This is the news.

00:47:02.000 They're telling you what they're doing.

00:47:03.000 We're selling them weapons.

00:47:05.000 We're training their troops like we did in Ukraine just prior to this conflict.

00:47:10.000 It's difficult to say whether or not China are worse than US imperialism.

00:47:14.000 You know, there's the Uyghur people being tyrannized and oppressed and genocided. 1.00

00:47:19.000 There's all sorts of terrible stuff in Chinese history. 1.00

00:47:21.000 This is the story of empire.

00:47:22.000 This is the story of power.

00:47:24.000 That really isn't the question.

00:47:25.000 The question is, is there a good reason for the United States to get involved in exacerbating these tensions?

00:47:31.000 Is it the United States business?

00:47:32.000 Do ordinary Americans want to lose their lives?

00:47:34.000 Do they want to use their taxpayer dollars, because this is where this is heading, to pay for military aid?

00:47:39.000 Why should you be paying for missiles in wars in Europe?

00:47:44.000 And Asia.

00:47:45.000 The answer is there's no reason, except it makes good sense for the military-industrial complex who have armed America now so that it's broadly speaking an impenetrable fortress that spends as much money as the next nine countries combined on military expenditure.

00:47:59.000 So that's done.

00:48:00.000 So now you have to tout for business elsewhere.

00:48:02.000 Please tell me I'm wrong, because if it's right, it's terrifying.

00:48:05.000 This tropical island, from its ultra-high-tech semiconductor factories... Those semiconductors that we need to stop China becoming more and more powerful. 0.81

00:48:13.000 ...to its rural highlands, where tea is still picked by hand.

00:48:17.000 And look!

00:48:17.000 They're picking peas with their hands!

00:48:19.000 Adorable!

00:48:20.000 23 million lives, American leadership, and probably the world's economy all hang in the balance.

00:48:27.000 What?

00:48:28.000 The world's economy?

00:48:29.000 When did that start becoming one of the objectives?

00:48:31.000 That was always the objective. 1.00

00:48:33.000 We don't care about these pee-picking motherfuckers one bit. 1.00

00:48:36.000 We care about those semiconductors and we care about that money. 0.99

00:48:39.000 And agitating other superpowers into potential conflicts is a new strategy that we're suddenly willing to consider when in the old days it was just little countries that you had to pretend it was kind of a fair war between some country you'd never heard of before and America.

00:48:52.000 Now we're doing the big ones.

00:48:54.000 China!

00:48:54.000 Russia!

00:48:55.000 Proper countries!

00:48:56.000 Proper money!

00:48:57.000 Live on CNN!

00:48:59.000 China's army even releasing an animated video of how Taiwanese sites would be targeted in an attack.

00:49:05.000 So here is an animation of how, hypothetically, China would respond if there was agitation.

00:49:10.000 Yeah, that's an animation to pretend.

00:49:12.000 Here are some actual US military bases that are there already!

00:49:18.000 The United States plays a major strategic role in the Indo-Pacific.

00:49:25.000 With 375,000 personnel, there's a vast network of operations.

00:49:32.000 375,000, that's basically colonization.

00:49:34.000 That's so many people.

00:49:35.000 That's a decent-sized town worth of military personnel thousands of miles away from the country that they're from in order to do what exactly?

00:49:45.000 You'd really have to believe in the righteousness of the American project. 0.83

00:49:49.000 But who among us does anymore?

00:49:50.000 America is tearing itself apart.

00:49:52.000 Politically, half of the country hates the other half of the country. 1.00

00:49:55.000 Get on with dealing with that shit! 1.00

00:49:57.000 You too could live in hatred where every single election is hotly contested and denied by the loser. 1.00

00:50:03.000 Go home, deal with that shit, and then once you've got that sorted, maybe start fucking with China and telling them what to do. 1.00

00:50:09.000 Because as far as I can see, you ain't got nothing to sell. 1.00

00:50:12.000 Except missiles.

00:50:13.000 That extend from Hawaii In recent years, the US has been faced with the reality that its apparent singular power is being challenged economically by several countries such as China.

00:50:25.000 To contest these challenges, the US began to rebuild its military force structure through its allies and more of these smaller but no less lethal base structures.

00:50:33.000 For the past 15 years, the U.S.

00:50:34.000 has pushed its allies, including those organized in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, to strengthen their military power while increasing its techno-military power and reach by establishing smaller bases across the world and producing new aircraft and ships with greater territorial reach.

00:50:48.000 This military force was then used in a series of provocative actions against those it perceived as threats to its hegemony, with two key countries, China and Russia, facing the sharp edge of the U.S.

00:50:59.000 spear.

00:51:00.000 At the two ends of Eurasia, the U.S. 0.84

00:51:01.000 began to provoke Russia through Ukraine and provoke China through Taiwan.

00:51:05.000 These provocations over Ukraine have now resulted in a war that has been ongoing for a year, while the new U.S.

00:51:11.000 bases in the Philippines are part of an escalation against China, using Taiwan as a battleground.

00:51:16.000 In recent years, Taiwan has become a flashpoint for tensions between the United States and China.

00:51:21.000 At the root of this simmering conflict are the country's diverging perspectives over Taiwan's sovereignty.

00:51:26.000 The Chinese position, known as the One-China principle, is firm.

00:51:30.000 Although the mainland and Taiwan have different political systems, they are part of the same country, with sovereignty residing in Beijing.

00:51:36.000 Meanwhile, the US position on Taiwan is far less clear.

00:51:39.000 Despite formally adopting the One-China policy, the US maintains extensive In fact, under the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, US law requires Washington to provide arms of a defensive character to the island.

00:51:54.000 A defensive character!

00:51:55.000 So there you are, there are essentially two conflicting narratives.

00:51:58.000 China sees Taiwan as part of China, and I'm sure there are numerous perspectives available on that.

00:52:03.000 And US will use whatever perspective is amenable to the sale of future arms and watch the flexibility of defensive character altering in the same way as we saw aid become lethal aid become just have some weapons now guys the taxpayers are funding it anyway so what do we care which we saw of course in Ukraine and that's what this writer is suggesting that this template will be repeated in this escalating conflict

00:52:24.000 The US justifies its ongoing ties with Taiwan by claiming that they are necessary to uphold the island's democracy and freedom.

00:52:30.000 We've heard this somewhere before.

00:52:32.000 Democracy and freedom are pretty abstract ideas, and if democracy and freedom are indeed the priorities of the United States of America, I've got a country where you can start practicing those principles.

00:52:41.000 It's called America.

00:52:42.000 Go there!

00:52:42.000 America!

00:52:43.000 Why don't you take over America and do some democracy and freedom there?

00:52:47.000 So that people don't feel tyrannized, unequal, broken, disparate, fraught with conflict, despair, emptiness and hollowness in America.

00:52:55.000 That's where you should focus your energy and effort.

00:52:58.000 And the reason they're not, it's not because there is no problem with democracy and freedom there.

00:53:02.000 It's because there's no profit to be gleaned. 1.00

00:53:03.000 Those poor bastards have already been sucked dry. 1.00

00:53:06.000 We're already at the phase where we're selling them fentanyl in order to rinse the last few 1.00

00:53:10.000 cents of profit out of the population.

00:53:12.000 They're no use to them anymore.

00:53:14.000 Now we're installing robots and officially treating them as an occupied population.

00:53:18.000 So the profits are to be had in conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and, coming soon,

00:53:23.000 Taiwan and China.

00:53:24.000 The US maintains close military ties with Taiwan through arms sales, military training

00:53:29.000 advisors and personnel on the island.

00:53:30.000 Where's all that heading?

00:53:31.000 As well as repeatedly sailing warships through the narrow Taiwan Strait that separates the island from the mainland.

00:53:37.000 In 2022, Washington pledged $10 billion in military aid to Taiwan.

00:53:42.000 Do you remember voting for that?

00:53:43.000 Do you remember that day when you said, yeah, yeah, God, take $10 billion and give that to military for Taiwan.

00:53:48.000 Nothing to worry about here.

00:53:50.000 Everything fine in America.

00:53:52.000 Use some of that surplus, surfeit money that we don't need for our own homeless crisis, overcrowded prisons, desperate communities, broken small businesses, destroyed moral fabric.

00:54:02.000 We don't need.

00:54:03.000 Get that to Taiwan.

00:54:04.000 I've been thinking about it.

00:54:05.000 Taiwan.

00:54:06.000 That's the problem.

00:54:07.000 Meanwhile, U.S.

00:54:08.000 congressional delegations regularly travel to Taipei, legitimizing notions of separatism, such as a controversial visit by former U.S.

00:54:14.000 Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi in August 2022.

00:54:18.000 Would the U.S. 0.71

00:54:19.000 or any other Western country accept a situation where China provided military aid, stationed troops, and offered diplomatic support to separatist forces in part of its internationally recognized territory?

00:54:29.000 The answer is of course not.

00:54:30.000 Of course not.

00:54:31.000 In November at the G20 Summit in Indonesia, Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden held their first in-person meeting since Biden was elected president.

00:54:39.000 At the meeting, Xi strongly reiterated China's stance on Taiwan, telling Biden that Taiwan is the first red line that must not be crossed.

00:54:47.000 Let me make a note of that.

00:54:48.000 So do not cross Taiwan. 0.54

00:54:52.000 Let me put that next to Ukraine. 0.58

00:54:55.000 Got it.

00:54:56.000 Got it.

00:54:56.000 That's all good.

00:54:57.000 Also beat Big Pharma this year.

00:54:57.000 That's good.

00:55:00.000 It is clear from the US's track record that Washington is intent on provoking China and disregarding its red line.

00:55:06.000 In Eastern Europe, a similarly reckless approach, namely the continued expansion of NATO towards Russia's border, led to the outbreak of war in Ukraine.

00:55:13.000 As progressive forces in Taiwan have declared, to maintain peace in the Taiwan Strait and avoid the scourge of war, it's necessary to stop US interference.

00:55:21.000 Good luck with that.

00:55:22.000 So there you have it.

00:55:23.000 You now have some more information with which to form your own opinion.

00:55:27.000 Do you imagine that the 25 defence industry representatives are in Taiwan in order just to help Taiwan for humanitarian reasons?

00:55:34.000 Or do you imagine it somehow relates to the bottom line?

00:55:37.000 Have America built an economy the success of which is contingent upon And if that is indeed the case, as I and many other people believe, what is the incentive to bring about peace?

00:55:47.000 How are we ever going to break out of these structures of endless agitation, now increasingly with opponents that have the ability to wreak havoc and to seriously oppose the American agenda, unless we, as individuals, start to awaken to the reality that we're living in and start to demand political representation that includes discussions on American foreign policy, on globalism, on veiled imperialism, On a nation that's supposed to represent American people, but in fact significantly represents the military-industrial complex.

00:56:15.000 Remember, a significant portion of your federal taxes, about 50%, ends up going to the military and 50% of that goes to defense contractors like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.

00:56:25.000 Meanwhile, actual military personnel, heroes, they are To the tune of 60% of them unable to have decent housing and 25% of them are using food stamps and 11% of the American homeless population are former veterans.

00:56:37.000 There's some facts and figures to mull over while thinking about what the incentives of the American war machine might be.

00:56:43.000 And if you are American, I'm certainly not attacking you.

00:56:45.000 And if you're the American war machine, I'm not attacking you either because frankly, I couldn't afford to.

00:56:48.000 But that's just what I think.

00:56:49.000 Let me know what you think in the comments below.

00:56:50.000 See you in a second.

00:57:07.000 Can it be a coincidence that it's the very day that Don Lemon left CNN?

00:57:12.000 You're suggesting they're coming together?

00:57:14.000 Are they coming together, Tucker Lemmon, Don and Carlson, together as a sort of hybrid polemical news network?

00:57:22.000 What's going to happen?

00:57:23.000 What's the future of independent journalism?

00:57:26.000 Surely it can't be us.

00:57:28.000 Surely it can't be the people in that gallery.

00:57:30.000 Dan, why don't you show our viewers the team behind the team that are in that room right now.

00:57:34.000 Let's have a look at who runs this little organisation while we warm ourselves up.

00:57:41.000 You can de-defrost that glass as we can see him in all their glory.

00:57:44.000 Turn on the screen so I can see the output from that camera, please.

00:57:47.000 If you don't mind, turn that screen on.

00:57:49.000 Thank you very much.

00:57:50.000 There they are.

00:57:51.000 Jenny May Finn, she's snuck back in.

00:57:52.000 Look at how many people just toiling there.

00:57:55.000 And if you look in the corner, there's Tucker Carlson.

00:57:58.000 Just perched there, waiting.

00:58:00.000 Yep, that's right.

00:58:01.000 Tucker Carlson's going to be joining.

00:58:02.000 Do your impression.

00:58:04.000 Are you kidding me?

00:58:05.000 Are you peeing in my yard?

00:58:06.000 Oh my god, that's amazing!

00:58:08.000 I love that!

00:58:09.000 That's what he was like when we went round Tucker Carlson's house.

00:58:12.000 I've been texting him, but he's obviously a little bit busy.

00:58:14.000 He's a bit busy, isn't he?

00:58:15.000 Because apparently, this has been done in an extraordinary way.

00:58:19.000 This just in!

00:58:20.000 Tucker Carlson did his last show and then was told, you're out, Tucker!

00:58:24.000 It's over, baby.

00:58:25.000 They didn't even give him a runway.

00:58:27.000 That means we believe that Tucker Carlson has got a new deal somewhere.

00:58:30.000 This is pure speculation.

00:58:32.000 Pure speculation that he's told them about that and they're not willing to keep him on Fox News doing his promo for him.

00:58:39.000 That's what we think.

00:58:39.000 What do you think, Gail?

00:58:40.000 When you say we, do you mean you?

00:58:42.000 I mean, I am.

00:58:43.000 And what I am thinking also is... Are there some more thoughts?

00:58:46.000 They're going to try and frame it as, oh, it's because of all that stuff about Dominion.

00:58:50.000 Oh, it's because he said those things on air.

00:58:53.000 Fox will be spinning this.

00:58:54.000 Tucker will be spinning it.

00:58:55.000 This is a big divorce, I would say.

00:58:58.000 Look at you.

00:58:58.000 Wow.

00:58:58.000 You're in overdrive on this part.

00:58:59.000 I know how to play this kind of stuff.

00:59:01.000 But who cares what I think?

00:59:02.000 Let's see what the real detractors, the real Tucker haters at CNN have got to say.

00:59:07.000 Let's look at how they're covering it over on CNN.

00:59:09.000 Let's have a look at that now.

00:59:12.000 This just in to CNN.

00:59:14.000 Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News.

00:59:17.000 The right-wing network just announced the two have parted ways.

00:59:24.000 Watch to see if there's any emotion or mood.

00:59:29.000 I predict that they'll start saying stuff like it's because of the Fox News payout.

00:59:38.000 They say that Tucker Carlson uses dog whistle racism on the show when he's talking about population demographic stuff.

00:59:46.000 What else do you think that they'll I don't know what they'll say but I mean in terms of what Tucker's been saying recently obviously there was the stuff around Fox and the court case but you know he's been talking a lot about independent journalism and one of the things he said recently was about his regrets over the Iraq war and some of the reporting that he was involved in himself and he seems to be saying a lot and he kind of said a few things to us privately about the way in which independent journalism is like the way forward now.

01:00:10.000 We can never reveal the things he said privately.

01:00:12.000 Other than the peeing in the yard.

01:00:14.000 I will reveal that I peed in his yard.

01:00:17.000 My milkshake is nicer than tharn. 0.94

01:00:19.000 Let's have a look at a bit more of this CNN stuff.

01:00:21.000 Darcy is here with more on this.

01:00:24.000 What are you learning?

01:00:25.000 He was out on Friday.

01:00:26.000 Will we see him say goodbye?

01:00:28.000 We're not going to see him say goodbye.

01:00:29.000 This is really stunning news coming from Fox.

01:00:32.000 They say his lad... It's so weird that they're turned on by him not being able to say goodbye.

01:00:37.000 He's not going to be able to say goodbye.

01:00:38.000 He's just going, goodbye!

01:00:40.000 It's interesting, isn't it, I suppose, because the media is devouring itself in a way.

01:00:46.000 This Euroboris image, the serpent devouring its own tail, is an end days symbol.

01:00:53.000 We are watching live the mainstream media falling apart like other centralised organisations.

01:01:00.000 It's losing its legitimacy, authority and trust.

01:01:04.000 What Tucker Carlson has, I imagine, realised is that he is powerful enough to leave Fox News as well as being disillusioned with mainstream media.

01:01:12.000 As we've consistently said, we don't trust Fox News, we don't trust MSNBC, we don't trust CNN, we don't trust the Republicans, we don't trust the Democrats.

01:01:19.000 We trust you!

01:01:21.000 That's who we trust.

01:01:22.000 You and ourselves.

01:01:23.000 Let's see where they go next.

01:01:25.000 Last show was April 21st.

01:01:26.000 They put out a very short statement.

01:01:28.000 They said they thank him for his service and that's it.

01:01:31.000 That's all we know right now.

01:01:32.000 But of course this comes days after.

01:01:34.000 Last week you remember Fox News settled this massive defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over the election lies that it promoted in the wake of the That's where they are attempting to narrativize it.

01:01:47.000 Because this is what I've come to realize, is that the whole sort of mojo of center-left liberalism is predicated on the small differences between them and other corporatized, commercialized political interests.

01:02:02.000 All that the liberals, or let's call it the Democratic Party media machine, have got is We're a bit better in these areas.

01:02:10.000 Those of us that say you're not significantly different, you work for the same corporate interests, you work for the same financial interests, are a real threat to them because that's all they've got.

01:02:19.000 That is their treasure.

01:02:20.000 That is their precious.

01:02:21.000 We're a bit better.

01:02:22.000 We tried this healthcare measure.

01:02:24.000 We're saying the right words.

01:02:26.000 We're trying our best.

01:02:27.000 No.

01:02:28.000 You work for the military-industrial complex.

01:02:30.000 You work for the financial industry.

01:02:32.000 You work for Big Pharma.

01:02:34.000 You have lied to us repeatedly throughout the pandemic era.

01:02:38.000 Let's see what goes now.

01:02:39.000 2020 election, so they paid out $787 million, the highest known defamation settlement ever

01:02:46.000 publicly known in US media.

01:02:48.000 But earlier on this show, we revealed to you that the biggest, the majority, 75% of all

01:02:54.000 advertising revenue comes from Big Pharma.

01:02:58.000 The Big Pharma lobbyist group is headed up by Pfizer's Albert Baller.

01:03:03.000 Pfizer have had to settle to the tune of billions out of court.

01:03:07.000 So whatever Fox paid the Minion, it's dwarfed By what Pfizer have paid out in out-of-court settlements and these dudes go to the bat for them the whole time.

01:03:17.000 Pfizer agreed to pay 2.3 billion, the largest healthcare fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice, to resolve criminal and civil liability arising from the illegal promotion of certain pharmaceutical products.

01:03:27.000 That did not stop the mainstream media.

01:03:30.000 Advocating intensely for Pfizer and the pharmaceutical industry during the pandemic.

01:03:37.000 And as Li Fang just revealed, even grassroots organizations that are connected to civil rights were being paid secretly by Pfizer to advocate for their products.

01:03:50.000 Allegedly!

01:03:51.000 Let's have a little bit more, a little look at CNN and then we're going to flip over to being exclusively available on Locals on our membership community.

01:03:59.000 You can join us there, there's a button somewhere on your screen that helps you to click through.

01:04:03.000 Let's have a look at a little more of this CNN stuff.

01:04:05.000 So this is coming days after that.

01:04:07.000 Unclear, of course, whether this is related.

01:04:08.000 It's kind of hard to imagine that these coincidentally, these things happen.

01:04:12.000 Tucker Carlson was sowing doubts about the US election results just up until the last few weeks.

01:04:18.000 So it's possible that there was a relationship there, but really big news.

01:04:22.000 And I should also point out that they've stuck with him really through quite a lot.

01:04:26.000 Like he has promoted conspiracy theories about the vaccines.

01:04:29.000 He has said things that are just blatantly anti-immigrant.

01:04:33.000 That's, I guess, all right.

01:04:35.000 We'll click over to being exclusively on locals and promoting conspiracy theories about the vaccine.

01:04:41.000 This is CNN, remember?

01:04:43.000 This is where Don Lemon said you should shame people that are hesitant about vaccines.

01:04:47.000 This is CNN, where they said ivermectin is a horse medicine.

01:04:51.000 This is CNN, where you can still now go on YouTube right now, because for all the stuff they're banning, what they haven't banned is Rachel Maddow saying, if you take this vaccine, it stops with you.

01:05:01.000 You cannot spread it.

01:05:02.000 They never clinically Trolled it for transmission.

01:05:05.000 Propagandist lies.

01:05:06.000 Listen, we're going to go on to locals now.

01:05:08.000 You can join us there.

01:05:10.000 And also tomorrow on the show, we've got Saga Njeti, co-host of the YouTube show Breaking Points and author of The Populist Guide to 2020 and New Right and Left are Rising.

01:05:22.000 So join us tomorrow.
