In this episode of the Rumble Chat, we discuss the latest in the Edward Snowden saga, the pardoning of Edward Snowden, the Mar-A-Lago invite to Donald Trump, Elon Musk's kid in the Oval Office and much, much more.
00:07:00.000Would you see the pardoning of Edward Snowden as a kind of moral endorsement of the Trump administration?
00:07:07.000Because we've got lots of areas of inquiry.
00:07:10.000Hello there, RaspberriesS648Stress in the Rumble chat.
00:07:13.000Hey, if you don't have Rumble Premium yet, you should really consider getting Rumble Premium because for $9.99 a month, you don't only get additional content from me, you get additional content from Glenn Greenwald, one of the people who broke the Snowden story.
00:07:26.000You get additional content from Crowder, who you've got to say, that guy pushes it.
00:07:30.000With all that, you know, prove me wrong stuff that he does.
00:07:33.000I mean, he's funny and he's a man of God.
00:08:19.000I'll be at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday next week.
00:08:23.000And if you want, I'm going to give away two tickets.
00:08:25.000And you can come to Mar-a-Lago, but you'll probably have to send me photos of yourself and stuff because there'll be Secret Service gear going on.
00:08:31.000What's really funny is on the invite, I'm getting like an award and Mike Tyson's getting an award.
00:08:36.000And on it, there's a picture of Donald Trump.
00:08:38.000But when you look underneath Donald Trump, it says, Honoured Invited Guest Donald Trump.
00:09:56.000Cooper from CNN, who's like meant to be proper news, called someone a dick.
00:10:00.000And I just think that the entire kind of complexion of political discourse is really altering as a result, really, of, well, independent media and then the rise of, notably, and I suppose most obviously, political figures like Musk and Trump themselves.
00:10:15.000But before we get into all of that, ending up ultimately on Rumble Premium, our home, or Locals, where we make...
00:10:24.000We're going to be on X and YouTube, in spite of the fact that I'm actually involved in legal action with YouTube because of their decision to demonetise the channel there.
00:10:32.000At the behest, at least it seemed like that externally, of the British government showing relationships between big tech and government power that, you know, I think will certainly warrant investigations, although I'm not alleging anything illegal at this stage.
00:10:45.000Let's acknowledge now that we live in a new world where if Elon Musk wants to change his handle on X, Now,
00:11:05.000the disruptor-in-chief, Elon Musk, who apparently has adopted the alias, at least he changed his social media handle to Hairy Balls, tweeted this morning, An activist judge is not a real judge.
00:12:05.000I pray, Lord, that you will guide him, that you will guide Keir Starmer, that you will guide all of the leaders, that your kingdom may come.
00:12:12.000But when I see Keir Starmer, I know he's probably Catholic or something, but he probably has got a religious life, but he's not acting like it because he's doing a lot of weird stuff.
00:12:59.000I don't want to cast aspersions on the sitting president of the United States of America, but in the 1980s, he was large and in charge when he was getting amongst it.
00:15:03.000Normalise more medical procedures so you can push mRNA technologies so that you can have people that worked for the government now working for Moderna so you can have the government doing big deals with Moderna right after that pandemic when it come clear that Big Pharma were lying to us the whole time.
00:16:42.000No, and that's why I didn't mention it.
00:16:44.000It's not about me, so I don't even mention it.
00:16:46.000I'm the first Prime Minister in history to put a cotton bud down my dibble-dabble, to hold it under the light to see what's what, even though I've nothing to worry about because I've never even done anything.
00:16:55.000But there's 100,000 people who are sneaking around the HIV who don't even know about that.
00:17:29.000I know what we should do, is we'll get the world leaders, get Netanyahu and his dick, get the leaders of Hamas and their dicks, get everyone's dicks, and test everyone straight down the dick.
00:17:41.000We'll hold that into a light, we'll see what's what.
00:17:44.000I'll tell you what we'll do, we'll stretch our testicle back.
00:20:22.000If you weren't angry about USAID ten seconds ago, wait till you see John Bolton's ridiculous hand grenade present.
00:20:28.000And I might say, I've got some personal experience here.
00:20:31.000I was in charge of policy and budget at USAID during the Reagan administration when we undertook a major effort to fix it.
00:20:39.000And I'm going to show you my farewell present from AID. You can see it's a hand grenade, and it says on it, John R. Bolton, truest Reaganaut.
00:20:58.000Giving John Bolton, warmonger, facilitator of the deaths of a million Iraqi children and countless American and British service personnel in an unnecessary, unwinnable war that led to the birth of ISIS, among other things.
00:21:53.000Let me know in the comments and chat on X and on Rumble and Locals.
00:21:57.000Just simply put P-M-Y for yes, P-M-N for no.
00:22:02.000And in a minute, we're going to be doing a competition for all our Rumble Premium subscribers where you can win two tickets to Mar-a-Lago to join me next Tuesday for a spectacular week.
00:22:11.000You've got to be a Rumble Premium member.
00:22:12.000You get me, you get Tim Pool, you get Crowder, you get a whole bunch of stuff.
00:23:09.000Do you think the media benefit from creating fissures and tension between current members of the administration?
00:23:15.000And do you think there's a sort of an agenda to drive a wedge between Trump and Musk, in particular, if that's the main axis, forgive the word, of power?
00:23:56.000And in a minute we're going to be looking at Whitney Webb's remarks that the deep state cannot be easily undone just through populism and the arrival of a new political party, even if it is one that's caused a lot of excitement, whether positive or negative, on both sides of the aisle.
00:24:13.000OK, in a minute we're going to be talking to you about, importantly, we're going to do Doge first.
00:24:17.000We're going to be talking about Elon Musk's visit.
00:24:20.000Well, there's sort of, in a sense, this Oval Office address.
00:24:23.000We're going to be talking about that and the interesting visual dynamics of Elon Musk and his kid and all that stuff and how Elon Musk's sort of playful puerility is altering the vocabulary when it comes to news reporting, like Anderson Cooper saying.
00:24:39.000And also just that it's changing the whole tone.
00:24:40.000And Tom, bro, we'll still be on X and YouTube for a little while before making our eventual way to Rumble, our sweet home, where we can stream sweetly and freely.
00:24:52.000Because think about it, when all them things kicked off, man, Rumble, double loyal, double loyal, and it's paying off for Rumble right now, okay?

00:26:21.000Best friends forever, or Rift, waiting to happen.
00:26:27.000That's the question that I will be asking and indeed am asking now.
00:26:32.000There's no question that this is a different type of political era with a new vocabulary and a peculiar lexicon that years before would have been implausible.
00:26:40.000Do you remember when Trump was on Twitter and everyone used to think, this is extraordinary, isn't it?
00:26:45.000The president on Twitter in the dead of night?
00:26:48.000Now, Twitter is in the Oval Office in the form of its owner, Elon Musk.
00:26:55.000Who's changed his name to Harry Bolsch.
00:26:58.000And now everyone's got to accept that discourse.
00:27:01.000But did the flat puerility of legacy media discourse prior to the election, all of these sort of pious people, Brian Stelzer, hey, come on, why don't you listen to me?
00:27:18.000Of course that was going to mean new elites and the emergence of new leaders.
00:27:22.000How are CNN and the legacy media going to cope?
00:27:24.000And what do we think when Elon Musk plainly admits to making errors?
00:27:28.000For example, one of the USAID stories that really caught my attention, let me know in the comments in the chat if you observed this, was that $50 million of condoms have been sent to Gaza.
00:27:38.000You sort of think, these guys are in some pretty serious trouble.
00:27:41.000That's not exactly the prophylactic they require.
00:27:43.000One of the other ones was the Iraqi Sesame Street story.
00:27:47.000So I now don't know what's true and what isn't, once again, and I don't like living in that kind of bewilderment.
00:27:53.000So we're going to have a look at the arc of these stories, starting with a little of the address.
00:28:01.000Do you see that, like, you know, Hitler kissing babies, or do you see it as sort of, like, kind of cute that he's...
00:28:06.000you know, it's bring your kid to work.
00:28:07.000If there's not a good feedback loop from the people to the government, and if you have rule of the bureaucrat, if the bureaucracy is in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have?
00:28:21.000If the people cannot vote and have their will be decided by their elected representatives in the form of the president and the Senate and the House, then we don't live in a democracy.
00:28:35.000So it's incredibly important that we close that feedback loop, we fix that feedback loop, and that the public, the public's elected representatives, the president, the House, and the Senate, decide what happens as opposed to a large unelected bureaucracy.
00:28:50.000This is not to say that there aren't some good, there are good people who are in the federal bureaucracy, but you can't have an autonomous federal bureaucracy.
00:28:59.000You have to have one that's responsive to the people.
00:29:02.000That's the whole point of a democracy.
00:29:05.000And so, if you looked at the founders today and said, what do you think of the way things have turned out?
00:29:13.000Well, we have this unelected, fourth unconstitutional branch of government, which is the bureaucracy, which has, in a lot of ways, currently more power than any elected representative.
00:29:25.000And this is not something that people want.
00:29:30.000And it does not match the will of the peoples.
00:29:34.000So it's just something we've got to fix.
00:29:36.000And we've also got to address the deficit.
00:29:41.000And if we don't do something about this deficit, the country's going bankrupt.
00:29:46.000I mean, it's really astounding that the interest payments alone on the national debt exceed the Defense Department budget, which is shocking.
00:29:57.000Because we've spent a lot of money on defense.
00:30:00.000And if that just keeps going, we're essentially going to bankrupt the country.
00:30:03.000So what I really want to say is it's not optional for us to reduce the federal expenses.
00:30:11.000It's essential for America to remain solvent as a country, and it's essential for America to have the resources necessary to provide things to its citizens and not simply be servicing vast amounts of debt.
00:30:30.000Let's talk about it over the coming hour.
00:30:32.000So what's really interesting there are a few things.
00:30:34.000Visually, the child being there is sort of fascinating and somewhat anomalous, although there are sort of photographs of JFK with his kid under the desk man, sort of really important and iconic American political images.
00:30:47.000Some of you will note Donald Trump, who's not a man who looks at ease in repose, in so much as he's a central figure, isn't he?
00:30:56.000He's sort of a leading player, and when he's on the sidelines of someone else talking, it's sort of visual.
00:31:43.000When the Muppets sort of stand in a column like that, that's a little bit what it made me think about.
00:31:46.000But the actual content of what he was saying when it comes to bureaucracies is one, I think, true, and two, certainly in alignment with the rhetoric that preceded the election, i.e.
00:31:55.000it's not like they campaigned on saying we're going to have real big state and we're going to give pay rises to everyone within the FBI and in the sort of deep-rooted power systems of bureaucracy.
00:32:05.000Actually, they didn't say that, did they?
00:32:06.000They said they're going to slash and burn and get rid of government.
00:32:08.000And because most of us hate government now, because governments have been so appalling, we sort of, in a sense, embrace it.
00:32:15.000But one thing to consider is, are we actually, in a way, being distracted by these sort of visually exciting and stimulating people and these extraordinary policies and perhaps not...
00:32:27.000Paying enough attention to what's happening.
00:32:29.000Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.
00:32:31.000Here's CNN apparently attempting to drive a wedge between Trump and Musk by claiming that Musk pushed Trump to the side.
00:32:40.000And doesn't that make you think, you know, everything's getting totally trivialised the whole time.
00:32:44.000Keir Starmer pushing cotton buds down his dick hole.
00:32:47.000These guys sort of focusing continually on the personal dynamics, although personal dynamics will always be impactful.
00:32:53.000This is an extraordinary and unusual time.
00:32:55.000We should focus on the tectonic movements where possible.
00:32:58.000Who's the one standing, taking most of the questions, having the president in this odd, odd, jarring setting, looking up to him?
00:36:17.000Yeah, do you want America to be sending $50 million of condoms to it anywhere?
00:36:21.000I suppose it becomes particularly absurd when you consider the crisis in Gaza, but then when you start contemplating that, some of Trump's rhetoric elsewhere about potential American activity, construction activity in Gaza seems once again...
00:36:36.000I would say that, in general, it's pretty intriguing to see press conferences like this.
00:36:41.000When I was growing up, people had said that politics had become mundane and people had checked out.
00:36:45.000In retrospect, there were people like Maggie Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.
00:36:48.000But now, this is astonishing, isn't it?
00:36:51.000Isn't this an astonishing spectacle that includes sort of common sense rhetoric, extraordinary descriptions and definitions of the inner workings of bureaucracies, kids on their dad's shoulders.
00:37:59.000Here, though, Anderson Cooper lapses into the kind of discourse that, in a sense, not discourse, language, that undermines yet another aspect of their authority, the fact that they use proper words and don't say dumb stuff like, I'm called Harry Balls, here's the news.
00:38:15.000Here's Anderson Cooper calling someone a dick.
00:38:18.000While talking about Doge, of all things.
00:38:20.000It was surreal, but I've got to tell you, I know what you're not showing here.
00:38:23.000Musk gave seven specific examples off the top of his head of where the corruption and fraud were.
00:38:42.000He doesn't present any actual evidence.
00:38:44.000Well, he's standing there in the Oval Office.
00:38:45.000Do you expect him to come in with 10,000 pages?
00:38:47.000And I have to be clear, to complain about this administration about transparency, when this president takes open questions on a daily basis, yet Joe Biden didn't show up for a press conference in six months, is insane.
00:38:59.000These guys are being extremely transparent.
00:39:01.000They don't have to sit there and take the questions, but they do.
00:40:17.000The world's changing rapidly and radically.
00:40:21.000And perhaps we oughtn't be surprised, given what Americans voted for, that we now have Elon Musk in the Oval Office in a black MAGA cap.
00:40:30.000With his kid peeking out of his coat, explaining somewhat articulately the new changes when it comes to government employees and the delivery on their intention to slash expenditure and reduce jobs and to become more transparent and open.
00:40:46.000And neither should we be surprised by their fallibility.
00:40:49.000This is an extraordinary age we're participating in.
00:40:53.000We're all on X and online making audacious claims, not examining perhaps sufficiently our own perspectives, biases and prejudices, allowing power to be formed on the basis of urges and sometimes unconscious impulses.
00:41:09.000I would say Trump is the president that the world's got.
00:41:14.000Trump's the president that the world needs.
00:41:16.000And I'm saying world instead of America quite deliberately.
00:41:19.000Although plainly there are other forces, national and international, that have to be considered.
00:41:25.000Elon Musk and Donald Trump are perhaps the type of leaders that the age demands.
00:41:29.000Certainly if you believe in electoral mandates, that's precisely what's happened.
00:41:33.000And what they're doing ain't at odds with what they campaigned on.
00:43:17.000Weak coffee is for the weak, and a rumble week has never been part of the mission.
00:43:21.000No fillers, no shortcuts, and proudly backed by a platform that does not cut corners, water things down, or settle for mediocrity.
00:43:30.000For pods, whole bean, or ground coffee, head to 1775coffee.com, use the code BRAND for 15% off, and start your morning with coffee that stands for something.
00:43:41.000I'm still trying to think of a Mar-a-Lago question.
00:43:43.000I can't think of a good Mar-a-Lago question to win tickets to come and see me and Mike Tyson Tuesday night in Mar-a-Lago.
00:43:50.000You're going to have to sort of, you know, we have to give things to the Secret Service and stuff, probably, so you're going to have to send me a ticket.
00:43:55.000Why are 1775 giving away a Cybertruck?
00:43:58.000Yeah, I think that's how I was, because I'm going to be driving around in that Saga truck.
00:44:17.000Actually, that's one thing I'm going to really try and avoid is any kind of physical altercation with Mike Tyson.
00:44:22.000I'm going to make that my utmost priority.
00:44:26.000Alright, I thought you believed in worker rights.
00:44:27.000Trump disabled the National Labour Party relationship.
00:44:29.000I do believe in worker rights, my optics actually, but I also believe in an identity that goes beyond our role as workers.
00:44:37.000I think our primary relationship is our role and relationship with God.
00:44:42.000However, I don't much care for governance that disempowers ordinary people, whether it's in Britain, what's happening with agriculture and the disempowering and impecuniation, if that's a word, you know, impoverishing, of farmers, and I don't like to hear Of anything happening in your country, America, that disempowers ordinary Americans.
00:45:31.000Anna Paulina Luna's name may sound like a tongue twister, but she is actually being transparent and candid.
00:45:37.000She's leading the task force on declassification of federal secrets, including JFK, RFK. MLK, all of the Ks, all of those assassinations, we're going to get full transparency on, and we're getting the Epstein list, and we're getting the 9-11 files, and the COVID original stories.
00:45:53.000That's more transparency than I can handle.
00:45:57.000No wonder the legacy media is falling apart.
00:46:00.000No wonder we're all feeling a vertiginous grip as we try to cling onto a reality that rollercoaster and fucking bronx its way through 2025. We've got so much to cover.
00:46:12.000Let's have a look at the announcement.
00:46:14.000Let's consider together, is this exactly the kind of candor and transparency that America voted for?
00:46:19.000It is with profound honor that I have been entrusted by Speaker Mike Johnson and Chairman James Comer to lead the House Oversight Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets.
00:46:30.000Together with the help of the White House, our intelligence allies, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, we'll be conducting investigations into the following.
00:46:39.000The assassinations of JFK, In a way, I say that what they're indicating is this is a different era.
00:46:51.000If you can, in truth, reveal classified documents around JFK, UFOs, and then more recent conspiracy theory treasure troves like COVID-19 origins or 9-11.
00:47:09.000If we're going to get files on Building 7, this is extraordinary, isn't it?
00:47:14.000I mean, in a way, isn't that more significant than anything else that's happening?
00:47:17.000Because it sort of shows you the skeletal infrastructures of government that we've long claimed are duplicitously run.
00:47:24.000If we start getting access to that stuff, I think that's more important even than staggering and terrifying stories around the Middle East.
00:47:34.000And I've identified submerged objects, also known as USOs.
00:47:38.000The Epstein client list, the origins of COVID-19.
00:47:42.000It's like she's reading the menu for the beginning of this show, isn't it?
00:47:46.000On the show today, we're going to be telling you about JFK. We're going to be giving you the origins of COVID. Was Fauci lying from the get-go?
00:47:53.000Why do you need a pardon if you weren't?
00:48:13.000I don't know how power structures, as we've assumed them to operate, can be maintained with this level of transparency.
00:48:21.000But Whitney Webb is concerned, so we're going to be looking at that.
00:48:23.000Let's see the end of this announcement.
00:48:25.000The origins of COVID-19 and the 9-11 files.
00:48:29.000This task force will be a beacon of bipartisanship.
00:48:32.000On the Republican side, Representatives Burchett, Boebert, Burleson, Crane, Gill, and Mace will be joining me, although I'd like to note that I'm expanding this to the entire governing body and will be allowing certain members to wave on.
00:48:46.000The date will be announced soon, and we've already initiated close to a dozen communications with various agencies, to include Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice and the Secretary of State.
00:48:57.000This will no longer be a task force that makes bold promises only to fade into irrelevance or send strongly worded letters.
00:49:04.000This will be a relentless pursuit of truth and transparency, and we will not stop until the American people have the answers they deserve.
00:49:13.000We will cut through the bureaucracy, challenge the stonewalling, and ensure that the American people finally get the truth that they have been denied for too long.
00:49:21.000If we are to endure and thrive as a nation, we must restore trust.
00:50:26.000It's a show, Russ, someone says in the chat.
00:50:28.000Well, maybe, yeah, this is a sort of a reformation of spectacle, but I... Can't see how you can reveal, for example, if you start telling the truth about 9-11, start telling the truth about the murder and assassination of RFK, JFK, MLK, start talking about UFOs, I don't know how you will be able to maintain institutional power as we've long understood it.
00:50:47.000Let's have a look at Anna Paulina Luna.
00:51:34.000This sort of information now is migrated from the periphery to the absolute center of power.
00:51:40.000Here she is saying, Annapolino Luna, Annapolino Luna, that there's absolutely no way that a single bullet killed JFK. I mean, this is extraordinary, isn't it?
00:51:52.000Our first investigation will be announced, but it's going to be covering on a thorough investigation into the John F. Kennedy assassination.
00:51:59.000And I can tell you, based on what I've been seeing so far, the initial hearing that was actually held here in Congress was actually faulty in the single-bullet theory.
00:52:08.000I believe that there were two shooters.
00:52:09.000And we should be finding more information as we are able to gain access into the SCIF, hopefully before the files are actually released to the public.
00:52:17.000There are unconfirmed rumours on X that Edward Snowden is about to be pardoned.
00:52:22.000I would say that Snowden, along with Assange, are cases that give you an indication of whether or not you can trust someone.
00:52:29.000You know, like in a fractured political space, you feel like, oh, these people believe this crazy thing.
00:52:33.000This government believes in these crazy ideas.
00:52:36.000If someone's like Edward Snowden should be pardoned...
00:52:40.000I feel like, well, at least they're right on that issue.
00:52:43.000There's no way that dude should be exiled.
00:52:45.000Here's that rumour spoken by a UK sort of pundit.
00:53:01.000This is about tearing down the surveillance state that's built to control.
00:53:04.000Is such a thing even possible and plausible?
00:53:08.000I find it pretty exciting to see these kind of extraordinary ruminations made public and the new disclosures around JFK and if there are indeed disclosures around 9-11 and COVID, it seems to me impossible that that wouldn't amount to a reconstitution of political power.
00:53:44.000If you think the deep state was defeated and all you had to do was pull a lever or lever for the right team and you could just watch as everything's made magically better and do nothing but trust the plan and enjoy the show.
00:53:56.000You probably confused what deep state actually means with the wing of the uni party that lost last year's election.
00:54:55.000Necromancers and ciphers for dark power.
00:54:58.000The images I had in my mind there were ciphers of European power rather than your country at the moment.
00:55:04.000That seems so radical to me that I can't even really get a handle on what's going on.
00:55:08.000Many of the people who used to distrust the system the most and who also have...
00:55:12.000Most of the citizen-held weapons, I suppose she means online journalists and pundits, have been led to believe they can fully trust everything happening and let their guard down against tyranny.
00:55:22.000They may not physically come for your guns, but they can still attempt to cognitively disarm the American people.
00:55:28.000Now, when a journalist uses a phrase like cognitively disarm the American people, you know you're dealing with a refined and brilliant mind, because she's alluding, of course, to your Second Amendment rights to...
00:55:42.000I'm pointing out that just because someone understands the language and tone of conversations about personal autonomy and sovereignty when it comes to firearms, it don't mean that you can rely on them when it comes to your intellectual and spiritual freedom.
00:55:57.000She's demanding of us that we remain vigilant, vigilant and awake when it comes to our leaders.
00:56:03.000And whether you're a pro-Musk Trump person or not, surely you would heed what Whitney Webb is saying there.
00:56:08.000Because this is going to be a radical...
00:56:10.000We haven't even got to the advent and intervention of AI and how that's going to impact power because if AI, like all other forms of technology, is primarily wielded by the powerful, then that's going to create yet more imbalances of power.
00:56:25.000This is going to be fascinating and interesting time to remain alive.
00:56:29.000I can see that it's radically different, but that don't mean that it's...
00:56:37.000Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:56:41.000We are going to leave now and go on to Rumble.
00:56:44.000We'll be doing another story over there if you're watching us on X. Remember, I'm going to do a question in a minute so you can win tickets to Mar-a-Lago to see me and Mike Tyson.
00:58:08.000Seems to me we're coming to a point where having attempted to replace God with objective science and democracy, however flawed the previous systems were, and they were, we found that both of those things have jammed up.
00:58:24.000Either they don't work or they don't work at this level or they've been corrupted, whatever it was.
00:58:28.000And we look around and we say, OK, what's the source of meaning?
00:58:48.000You can't go around inventing your own version of reality.
00:58:50.000You'll get into trouble whether that's a version of reality where you can entrust a new oligarchal elite or a version of reality where you can, you know, just change biology.
00:59:00.000These are all fantasies in some way or another and we need...
00:59:27.000To win two tickets to see me at Mar-a-Lago with Mike Tyson next Tuesday night, answer this simple question posed by Dean SNJ. This is only eligible to Rumble Premium members.
00:59:36.000If you're not a Rumble Premium member yet, become a Rumble Premium member now.
00:59:40.000And if you use my code, it will benefit me in a bunch of ways.
00:59:43.000So, Rumble Premium members, is there a golden toilet at Mar-a-Lago?
00:59:49.000And we'll find out the answer to that.
00:59:51.000I'm guessing that there sort of isn't.
01:00:22.000Elon Musk says that him auditing the DoD isn't a conflict of interest because he's not personally filing for government contracts at his companies.
01:00:30.000Elon Musk has unprecedented power and almost a unique position in both industry and in government.
01:00:37.000If Elon Musk is in charge of auditing the Pentagon and owns companies that are potentially going to have government contracts, is that a conflict of interest?
01:00:45.000Let's look at how Elon Musk handles that question, which I believe he was asked in one of those.
01:00:52.000If you have received billions of dollars in contracts from the Pentagon and the president's directing you to look into the Department of Defense, is that a conflict of interest?
01:01:02.000Does that present a conflict of interest for you?
01:01:04.000No, because you'd have to look at the individual contract and say, first of all, I'm not the one filing the contract.
01:01:11.000It's people at SpaceX or someone who will be putting for the contract.
01:01:14.000And I'd like to say, if you see any contract where it was awarded to SpaceX and it wasn't by far the best value for money for the taxpayer.
01:01:26.000The fact is that he might be telling the truth there.
01:01:29.000It might be the best deal for the taxpayer, but that's an...
01:01:33.000Astonishing amount of power for one person to have.
01:01:36.000Whether that person is George Soros or Bill Gates, these billionaires that intersect and intercede with government and government power have a unique and almost unparalleled responsibility.
01:01:46.000I think what we felt in the last administration, that there was layers of subterfuge and camouflage over those relationships.
01:01:52.000Does anyone really know what George Soros' deal is and how he knows ahead of time what kind of...
01:01:59.000Breaks BlackRock might get in Ukraine.
01:02:02.000Well, those breaks are about to change.
01:02:04.000When we're talking about power, we're talking, I think, or at least we should focus upon, I think, extreme power and extreme consequences.
01:02:11.000There's no doubt that Elon Musk has extreme...
01:02:14.000Perhaps unparalleled and unprecedented power.
01:02:17.000But there's no question that the previous administration had clandestine relationships with billionaires, commercial interests, corporate interests and globalist interests that brought about this wrecking ball new administration.
01:02:28.000And when I say wrecking ball, I mean they're crushing sort of bureaucracy and deep state power and inverted commas.
01:02:33.000But they're also radically altering the trajectory of America on the world stage.
01:02:39.000This just in from Donald J. Trump's own truth social.
01:02:46.000Now, we are somehow going to have to reconcile in our tiny little minds what we believe are our collective priorities when it comes to subjects like USAID and American adventure and misadventure abroad.
01:02:59.000And if you've seen John Bolton awarded a USAID hand grenade, you'll recognize that the previous government and previous iterations of government, more formulaic and identifiable, they were hardly perfect either.
01:03:13.000They granted extraordinary powers to billionaires.
01:03:16.000They had weird bureaucratic Machiavellian gear going on that warranted John Bolton at some point being awarded a hand grenade from the USAID. And does it really matter where condoms are being sent to the tune of $50 million, I suppose, if there's an HIV outbreak?
01:03:42.000Starmer's recent announcement that he's the first man in history to ever fiddle with his own dicky bird for health reasons.
01:03:48.000Here's Donald J. Trump's recent post on the shifting sands of global conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which if you follow Tucker Carlson as I do, he believes to be the conflagration most likely to lead to global meltdown and Armageddon.
01:04:05.000So pretty important to see what Trump's saying.
01:04:08.000I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with Vladimir Putin of Russia.
01:04:42.000Has the whole category of classified disappeared?
01:04:45.000Do you believe we're in a political era of total transparency?
01:04:48.000or do you imagine there will still be a requirement for secret documents?
01:04:52.000Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that because while we're learning all these things about JFK files, while we're learning all these things about UFOs and what went on in COVID and all those things that we discussed, the reason we love coming here, right, is because we look at power and go, they're lying.
01:05:19.000Nevertheless, it is fascinating to in real time receive a president's insights into a conversation with Putin.
01:05:26.000Or do you see this just as a modern iteration of propaganda and comparable to just Neville Chamberlain saying, you know, I have in my hand a piece of paper from Adolf Hitler.
01:05:34.000Let me know in the comments in chat what you think about that.
01:06:19.000And the fact that we fought so successfully together in World War II, remembering that Russia lost tens of millions of people and we, likewise, lost so many.
01:06:30.000Yeah, I mean, it is mad, isn't it, when you have seen for years now Russia...
01:06:36.000Vilified by the legacy media, Hillary Clinton, oh, Russiagate this, Russiagate that, all lies, of course, and propaganda, that Russia were significant allies in the war against the Nazis.
01:06:48.000We each talked about the strength of our respective nations and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together.
01:06:55.000The great benefit we will someday have in working together.
01:06:58.000Surely, isn't this sort of like peace in our time stuff, but the sort of Twitter version?
01:07:03.000But first, I actually mean, I didn't mean peace in our time, because that's what Neville Chamberlain erroneously assumed of his diplomatic relations with Adolf Hitler, which actually were just the precipice of a massive, massive war, so I hope it's not that.
01:07:15.000But first, as we both agreed, I feel like it does seem like, well, maybe Trump's going to do diplomacy in some sort of art of the deal way, and like this whole Russia-Ukraine conflict's going to end, and you'd have to be pretty devoted to your belief system not to think that it's good for Russians and Ukrainians and everyone if that war ends, isn't it?
01:07:32.000I mean, if you see Jeffrey Sachs talking about it, or John Mearsheimer, you think, oh man, six of one, half a dozen of the other, NATO provoked them, Putin's obviously a leery geezer, shut this shit down double quick, because who's benefiting from this other than the military-industrial complex and the Pentagon who can't pass an audit, and Ukraine apparently selling off half their weapons to Mexican drug cartels?
01:07:52.000Sort of stuff that's got to end, doesn't it?
01:07:54.000Let's get back to their truth social post.
01:07:58.000First, as we both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the war with Russia and Ukraine.
01:08:12.000What I love about Donald Trump is in the middle of an announcement about world peace and brokering a peace deal between warring nations, he bothers to stop to say that President Putin even used my very strong campaign motto of common sense.
01:08:28.000Like, he's not so engaged by negotiating world peace that he doesn't notice.
01:08:34.000That's my campaign motto there, common sense.
01:08:37.000I was like, common sense existed before that.
01:08:56.000It's a synonym for God, that there's an agreed-upon perspective on reality, that wherever you are in the world, whoever you are, whatever happened to you in the past, whatever you are biologically or psychologically, there's an agreed-upon order.
01:09:08.000And let me know, do you think there is?
01:09:28.000We both believe very strongly in it, common sense.
01:09:30.000We've agreed to work together very closely, very closely, to close sleep, each other's breath, stubble on each other's neck, including visiting each other's nations.
01:09:59.000Like, oh, I've heard him talk about North Korea and stuff in ways that are, like, unbelievable, and I can't even go into it.
01:10:05.000Okay, so this is what you anticipated, that he was going to use his sort of odd kind of peculiar style of communication We're going to be calling Zelensky of Ukraine to inform him of the conversation, something which I'll be doing right now.
01:10:22.000I mean, I won't be surprised if it ended there, because he literally sort of drops the pen, although we've seen on that Taco Carson documentary that he dictates these posts, doesn't he?
01:10:32.000I have asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Ambassador and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to lead the negotiations which I strongly feel will be successful.
01:10:44.000Millions of people have died in a war that would not have happened if I were President.
01:11:04.000I want to thank President Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call and for the release yesterday of Mark Fogle, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House.
01:11:13.000So a hostage got released in this ongoing negotiation.
01:11:37.000It's happening with Elon Musk calling himself hairy balls and CNN just having to, forgive the phrase, choke them hairy balls down.
01:11:45.000It's happening in a new way where right off the cuff and off the bat, diplomatic relationships are apparently being improved or at least negotiated and announced in real time.
01:11:55.000I bet That there is more likelihood of peace between Ukraine and Russia right now than at any point since Biden was on your TV saying, you know, listen, we're going to be escalating tensions.
01:12:13.000That would mean World War III, for Christ's sake.
01:12:15.000Or perhaps any time since Condoleezza Rice announced that they wanted to get gas pipelines and they didn't want Germany to be taking advantage of the shale gas deals that Russia would be making.
01:12:25.000Whatever caused the war between Ukraine and Russia, it will probably be solved by...
01:12:31.000Weird, radical, new forms of diplomacy.
01:12:34.000Or maybe Donald Trump would contest that it isn't new and radical, that it's simply the art of a deal.
01:12:39.000Let's have a look and see how it unfolds together.
01:12:42.000It's certainly better than what Kamala Harris would have done.
01:12:45.000I think we can agree with that, can't we?
01:12:47.000If Kamala Harris was in the White House right now, we wouldn't be hearing, hey, the war might be coming to an end.
01:13:26.000You have to have Rumble Premium to get it.
01:13:27.000Alright, well, we're going to choose two of you to join me at Mar-a-Lago if you answer the question, what year was the original owner of Mar-a-Lago's family business started?
01:13:37.000Answer that if you're a Rumble Premium or Locals member and make sure you can come.
01:13:41.000Don't just wildly answer it if you can't come.
01:13:43.000And join me and Mike Tyson this Tuesday night.
01:14:15.000If you're baffled by contemporary politics, consider Jesus Christ.
01:14:19.000And the insights that only he can give you or a relationship with him can give you.
01:14:22.000Let's have a look at Paul King's North now on the power of confession.
01:14:26.000One of the things that I find most useful and terrifying is confession, right?
01:14:31.000So the sacrament of confession, I can go to my priest before the Eucharist and I can tell him all the things I've done since the last confession that I shouldn't have done, which is usually depressingly the same list of things.
01:14:57.000Whenever I take the Eucharist in church, I feel completely transformed.
01:15:00.000Even if I've just been sitting, fidgeting through the liturgy for an hour, something will happen.
01:15:05.000So even though the church, to some people on the outside, looks like this tyrannical authority, it's not that at all on the inside.
01:15:11.000It's a structure that helps me to actually walk the path.
01:15:17.000And that is an authority that I've chosen to recognise because I think it can help me to do that because I think that's what Christ created it for.
01:15:24.000Beautiful conversation there between me and Paul Kingsnorth.
