Fox settled out of court with a group of former employees of the now-defunct conservative network Fox News. Does this mean the next time there's an election in your country, the side that loses won't be saying, the election was rigged? And does that mean that the only answer is secession now? Or is it decentralisation, decentralisation and decentralisation the only way forward for America? Plus, a new voice is rising up in town who will embrace vulgarity and speak with a brazenness that we ve often seen on this channel. We ve often said that Donald Trump is a person that embraces vulgarity, and in fact, within systemic corruption, that's a fact. That suggests that they re looking at corruption on a basis that's no basis, because they ve got no basis to attack Donald Trump because they're looking at him on the basis that he's a person who can say, 'I know there are tax loopholes. I know the system's rigged because I know there's a rigged system'. We'll be looking at that too, because we ve got to look at it too. Stay free, you're living a life you're lunatics, you re living.

00:01:12.000Thanks for joining us live on the internet, on Rumble.
00:01:16.000The first 10, 15 minutes we put up in all sorts of places, but after that, when I need to speak freely, we're exclusively available on Rumble.
00:01:23.000And we're going to need to speak freely today because from Fox News, we've got Kat Timph, commentator that I met when I went on Greg Gutfeld this time.
00:01:32.000Are Fox News going to be able to continue to pay people with their massive out-of-court settlement?
00:01:38.000And does this mean The democracy is officially not rigged.
00:01:42.000The elections are not rigged now because Fox making those claims on air while privately they exchanged texts saying that they didn't believe in themselves, which by the way sounds very similar to the American government's official stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, publicly saying this is a winnable war.
00:02:00.000We ain't getting none of that territory back.
00:02:02.000Never admitting that there are boots on the ground of US personnel.
00:02:05.000These are the content of the recent leaks that you may not have heard about because all anyone will tell you is this guy calls himself the OG.
00:02:19.000We bring you real news, and real news will always be about establishment narratives, challenging them, and breaking down centralised power.
00:02:27.000So, whilst we'll talk a bit about Fox News's payout, we'll be asking bigger questions.
00:02:32.000Does this mean an end to systemic corruption?
00:02:34.000Does this mean that the next time there's an election in your country, the side that loses won't be saying, the election was rigged?
00:02:41.000And does it mean that the only answer is secession now?
00:02:44.000That America needs to accept it's too vast a territory for one centralised, corporatised, lying, corrupt, globalist government and it's time to decentralise, devolve and bring true democracy to America.
00:02:58.000Let me know in the chat if you think that's the kind of direction that America should
00:03:01.000head in, or should they double down on authoritarianism, censorship, surveillance, the way things
00:03:41.000Once we click over to being exclusively on Rumble, we're going to bring you a breathtaking, mind-bending, bone-breaking tale about China potentially developing a certain medicine even before a particular outbreak was even recognised.
00:03:57.000Begging the question, if the outbreak hasn't happened yet, how come they're developing a medicine for it?
00:04:23.000In other news, there's a new voice in town.
00:04:27.000There's a new political power rising up.
00:04:29.000There's a man who will embrace vulgarity with a brazenness here too far not seen.
00:04:35.000We've often said on this channel that Donald Trump's power is drawn from the fact that within systemic corruption, a person that embraces vulgarity, a person that can say, yeah, I know there are tax loopholes.
00:04:47.000I know the system's rigged because I participated in rigging it.
00:04:51.000We'll be looking right now Donald Trump's magnificent cards and later we'll be looking at some Democrat corruption too that suggests that they're in no position to attack Trump.
00:05:02.000That's why he is Teflon to their slurs because they ain't got no basis upon which to attack him.
00:05:09.000Joining me for all of this and more is my very very neatly dressed on-screen assistant Gareth Roy.
00:05:54.000Hello again, this is your favourite president, Donald Trump, with some news you are going to... Do you think he, like, records that onto a phone?
00:06:00.000Do you think that someone just puts a phone and goes, oh, we're doing some more of them cards?
00:06:17.000It's interesting because we have progressed beyond irony, beyond the post-modernity, where Trump, far from being embarrassed about an image of himself as a firefighter or as a rock star, literally will embrace it.
00:06:31.000And I reckon that That tells you that we're living in something so lurid and so vivid that there's nothing that he can do, like when he famously said he could shoot someone on Madison Avenue, is that we're living in such a nihilistic maelstrom now, where we know that figures like Biden are only inadvertently honest in so much as they are like a kind of barely vivacious cadaver orating badly from the pulpit, that they somehow represent what they are without ever telling you the truth.
00:07:00.000And stories like this one, like, oh, Fox have had to do this massive out-of-court settlement.
00:07:08.000Clearly, America is systemically broken.
00:07:11.000Clearly, the mainstream media is broken.
00:07:14.000Clearly, you get no congressional options that mean anything.
00:07:18.000In a system where there are wealth transfers in the trillions during a time of poverty and suffering, I'm referring to the pandemic, at a time where 50% of federal budgets go to the Pentagon, 50% of that then ends up in the military-industrial complex in private contractors' hands.
00:07:32.000These are not the kind of policies that you want implemented, are they?
00:07:36.000Let me know in the chat in the comments.
00:07:37.000Would you go, oh yeah, could you send 10 billion to Taiwan?
00:09:51.000What metric do you use to make these claims, dammit?
00:09:55.000But in a world of pure theatre, then why not have this?
00:09:59.000If Jake Tapper can turn up on CNN saying, you're not going to believe this, Fox claiming to be a news outlet, When CNN as you know and I know it every bit as bad is in a sense only different by degree.
00:10:13.000Have a look now at Jake Tapper on CNN.
00:11:20.000In the history of journalism, Fox issued a statement saying, quote,
00:11:24.000we are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute, dispute with Dominion Voting.
00:11:30.000Dispute. Oh, it breaks me to even have to report this stuff.
00:11:34.000Like, to have this level of haughtiness to speak from a position of such piety, you cannot work for a network that has been involved in falsely reporting on the Russiagate stuff, the Steele dossier stuff, the Joe Rogan horse pace versus the other medicine.
00:11:52.000We're still on YouTube, so I can't even say that.
00:11:54.000You can't Work for an organization that has its own system of corruption in place.
00:12:01.000You know, when I was in America, I got involved in a temporary spat with someone saying, no, MSNBC and CNN are meaningfully superior to Fox.
00:13:13.000But in 2016, when Trump won, The Democrats spent years after saying, oh, it's Russiagate, it's Russiagate, it's not a legitimate... That's what they did.
00:13:21.000And now subsequent to this election, Trump saying, oh, it's corrupt.
00:13:25.000These machines, you know, like a variety of... And you at home might think it's rigged, but whether it is rigged or not rigged, it's corrupt anyway.
00:13:33.000Why would we quibble about the minutiae of the corruption when you can look at numbers like this that tell you in plain sight Indefatigably, what the problem is, the problem is at the very top of the machine are elite institutions that require war, that require sickness, that require your poverty in order to function.
00:13:55.000As long as that remains a fact, as long as you cannot vote against that, you are going to live Basically, in a system that's somewhat like this.
00:14:04.000Because no one's saying, when I get into power, what we're going to do is we're going to ensure that the Pentagon's budgets are in line with necessary expenditure, we don't get involved in unnecessary foreign wars, and we're going to make sure that that money ends up supporting the actual troops that we use as the metaphors and symbols for patriotism, but are willing to end up on the streets, homeless, living on food stamps.
00:14:27.000We've got stats and data on that stuff if you want it.
00:14:30.000Soon after the Ukraine war broke out last year, Congress voted to appropriate $40 billion of aid in Ukraine.
00:14:35.000You didn't get to vote for it, but you were propagandized, so you couldn't think straight about it.
00:14:39.000And that's not to say Russia's invasion isn't criminal, even if they were agitated by NATO expansionism.
00:15:40.000I don't know if she's having a particularly, a particularly delicious boiled sweetie, or if she's on the precipice of some other kind of bodily bliss, but she's saying mmm all the way through it.
00:16:19.000That, in their self-described Pied Piper strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new mainstream of the Republican Party in order to try to increase Clinton's chance of winning.
00:16:34.000The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.
00:16:45.000The irony is supporting campaigns that they regard as far-right, then finding themselves overwhelmed by those candidates.
00:16:52.000That's a good and literal definition of irony.
00:16:54.000Clinton's camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be elevated to leaders of the pack and media outlets should be told to take them seriously.
00:17:01.000You know that the media that decries and attacks Donald Trump are financially dependent on him.
00:17:07.000That's why they're willing to film hours of his aeroplane on the tarmac while Joe Biden crushes healthcare packages put in place by Trump that they claim they support.
00:17:36.000Why not have Donald Trump dress up as a rock star and treat it like kind of a serious thing or a fun thing or whatever?
00:17:44.000We're living in this sort of post-modern, valueless expanse now, where anything goes, nothing has any real meaning.
00:17:53.000Listen, in a minute we're going to click over to being exclusively on Rumble, talking about a story that I just can't believe is true.
00:18:00.000It's one of those things we find ourselves reporting over here on Rumble.
00:18:03.000The possibility that China were developing a particular medication Before that medication would have been needed because there was no such outbreak.
00:18:13.000I'm being deliberately obtuse at the moment.
00:18:16.000Deliberately cryptic because I know we are still on YouTube where we would receive strikes for that kind of information.
00:18:25.000We've got a couple of quotes here that sum up the situation pretty beautifully.
00:18:33.000The fundamental problem of political philosophy is still precisely the one that Spinoza saw so clearly and that Wilhelm Rieck rediscovered.
00:18:39.000Why do men fight for their servitude as stubbornly as though it were their salvation?
00:18:56.000Every empire, however, tells itself and the world that it is unlike all other empires, that its mission is not to plunder and control, but to educate and liberate.
00:19:05.000We'll be talking more about the military-industrial complex and how it requires the unique claim that America is above and beyond all other nations in order to facilitate its ongoing interventionism that's ultimately a kind of sales tactic.
00:20:12.000That the whole time we've been told, not just by China, but also the United States, certainly initially, although it's been changing that narrative the whole time, that this didn't emerge from the lab.
00:20:21.000But now you're discovering that if this is true, and they were creating vaccines, you know, in 2019, then obviously, one, it developed, it came from a lab, and two, they already knew about it.
00:20:34.000So someone in China, people in China had it.
00:20:36.000So it's, I mean, it's potentially a massive thing if this is true.
00:20:39.000That's the sort of story that the mainstream media should be covering.
00:20:43.000Potentially it's more important than Foxy's out-of-court settlement.
00:20:46.000The claims come in a 300-page document which concluded that the pandemic most likely came from a lab leak and was the result of a research-related incident in Wuhan.
00:20:57.000It's a big story, because obviously this all relates to the pharmaceutical industry.
00:21:00.000We know about ways in which the pharmaceutical industry would be damaged if these kind of revelations were to come out.
00:21:06.000And it's interesting, just to kind of go back to the Fox fine, because one of the things you were talking about was the kind of hypocrisy of CNN making money from Trump.
00:21:15.000But in terms of fines, and this being the biggest defamation fine in US history, obviously Pfizer, a company who now Biden is literally doing a $5 billion deal on the next generation vaccine with Big Pharma in the US, Pfizer's biggest fine is $2.3 billion for illegally promoting the use of four of its drugs.
00:21:34.000So that's obviously far higher than the... Again, not to kind of in any way say that Fox weren't doing anything wrong.
00:21:43.000But we're talking about Pfizer, a company that now people, in the pandemic, people have been getting tattoos of, and people have been lauding Pfizer's achievements, and the people in Pfizer are heroes, and yet we go back a few years and they're paying fines of 2.3 billion dollars.
00:21:57.000The thing is with the Fox fines, it is wrong to broadcast something that you know to be not true, but that's Same claim can be leveled to the US government as a result of these recent revelations.
00:22:12.000And ultimately, generally, whether or not the election was rigged, whether or not those machines are faulty, if you've got a feeling that your democracy isn't working, It's broadly true in the ways that we demonstrate it, because it's bought and paid for by donations and lobbies.
00:22:29.000People in Congress own stocks and shares in the companies that they're supposed to regulate.
00:22:33.000The military-industrial complex requires ongoing war.
00:22:36.000The pharmaceutical industry benefits from sickness, illness, and indeed pandemics that potentially were caused as a result of research that they were undertaking before they even bloody revealed that there was a problem.
00:22:50.000And the pharmaceutical industry just a couple of years before the pandemic, whereas Gareth points out they were presented to us as heroes and saviors, were making out-of-court settlements of significantly more than that because of drugs that they were illegally, erroneously, malfeasantly promoting.
00:23:08.000That's as well without getting into other actors and players in the pharmaceutical space like
00:23:14.000the Sackler family and all that Purdue gear and the opioid crisis that was knowingly
00:23:17.000induced just because it would be profitable and as it becomes more diffuse and more systemic
00:23:22.000the mental health crisis, the despair, even if you're not yet suicidal or on drugs.
00:23:28.000You might have the feeling that you're living in an unfair system, devoid of meaning, where you have no power or traction in your own life, where you're eating food that isn't good for you, where you're consuming information that is untrue, where you're living a lifestyle that's not connected to who you really are.
00:23:45.000And I don't even mean that in an ideological or philosophical way, I mean that in an anthropological way.
00:23:50.000You're not living in connection to nature.
00:23:52.000You're not connected to your inner self.
00:23:53.000You're living primarily, fundamentally, ultimately, in an illusion.
00:23:58.000So, oh, okay, those voting machines are good.
00:24:09.000The same people that are willing to take Pfizer's advertising dollars, knowing that Pfizer have paid bigger out-of-court settlements than that.
00:24:18.000So there's your justice, there's your triumphant system.
00:24:21.000It's interesting that obviously all this focus is on lies about elections, what's going on
00:24:26.000with Fox at the moment, but what's not being concentrated on is what about lies within
00:24:55.000How was that environmental disaster handled?
00:24:57.000Where did all the ecological rhetoric go at a time when it would have been relevant and helpful?
00:25:03.000What about the capping of big pharma prices handled in a way as to allow pharma to continue to profit and only tokenistic changes made to their pricing models?
00:25:15.000What about the suggestion that people were going to be released from prison because of cannabis?
00:25:37.000All of their haughtiness, all of their condemnation of the kind of people that find Donald Trump's bombast appealing, his attitude on camera, his willingness to plain speak in places where diplomacy governs to the point of duplicity.
00:25:53.000All of those people, they ain't got a leg to stand on anymore.
00:26:11.000Glenn Greenwald, Pulitzer Prize winning conspiracy theorist, married gay man and right-wing Nazi fascist.
00:26:17.000He said that clearly a decision's been made not to placate the masses, to use a sort of just a pat term, anymore by, you know, the bread and circuses modality.
00:27:15.000But what I love about this story Is the way that the New York officials present this information as inevitable, as progress, as good for you, as a safety measure, rather than admitting that what it could potentially be viewed as is a safeguard
00:27:34.000for an inevitable future of public unrest and protest and uprising, preventing the possibility that human law enforcement officers might not be willing to shoot their own.
00:27:47.000Digidog don't have that problem, and Digidog is coming to you in New York, New York.
00:27:54.000So good, they named it, governed it, and tyrannized it twice.
00:28:09.000New York are bringing in robo-cops in order to police the population as protests become more likely.
00:28:16.000But the smart thing they've done is to persuade us that these things are actually cute little digi-dogs.
00:28:24.000As the world becomes more corrupt, as the media becomes more hypocritical, as protests become more likely, the establishment is finding ingenious new ways of policing us with terrifying, aggressive robots which are sort of posing as cute, lovable robo-dogs.
00:28:40.000Robots will now take their place beside the city's men and women in blue.
00:28:45.000CBS 2 political reporter Marcia Kramer shows us the mayor says he is calming the world for the latest technology to put the NYPD at the forefront of fighting crime.
00:28:55.000They're making this look like natural progress.
00:28:58.000For a little while they've been trying to normalize those robots.
00:29:01.000They're getting us used to the idea that not only is uniformed authority able to tell us what to do, or bureaucratic information through your phone or through your letterbox or whatever, but now cyber authority is being introduced.
00:29:15.000Look at the way that the media tells you that this is not the intervention of centralized power introducing new ways to control you should you find yourself interested in challenging authority.
00:29:32.000Why shouldn't we be oppressing you in new and novel ways?
00:29:35.000This is being sold to you as an advance, as progress.
00:29:39.000We've already been softened up and pummeled into thinking we need this stuff.
00:29:43.000You have to be terrified to accept the way that we are governed generally.
00:29:48.000You have to believe that there are enormous threats, whether it's terrorist threat, or germ threat, or Russia threat.
00:29:54.000If you think that basically human beings are like you and there's a bit of good in the worst of us and a bit of bad in the best of us and we all muddle along and we can probably organize our own communities, then there's no need for them to put robot dogs on the street, cream profits off everything, set up an infrastructure where democracies are is a kind of charade where corporate and financial elites
00:30:14.000secretly run everything, not so secretly these days even. Look at the framing of this. It's
00:30:18.000important that you're told, great news everyone, there's robot dogs on the street. Of course they're
00:30:23.000going to say initially there's no plans for them to be armed, we're never going to arm
00:30:26.000them. Yeah of course they're going to say that, then there'll be some other crisis
00:30:29.000because they've already made us believe it's a good thing to have robo-dog out there.
00:30:33.000And it, by the way, is not a dog, is it?
00:30:35.000Like, when you think of the attributes of a dog, loyal, friendly.
00:30:38.000Dogs wouldn't have caught on as man's best friend if they were aggressive policing bastards.
00:30:44.000From our earliest days, dogs would come by the campfire, or wolves as they were then, and they'd come there and they'd police us.
00:30:54.000Mind your own fucking business, you little bastard!
00:30:56.000From a galaxy far away, or at least Times Square, the NYPD enters the 21st century with crime-fighting robots to patrol subway stations or the crossroads of the world.
00:32:11.000Are the bad guys whoever the state appoints that day to be bad?
00:32:15.000Or is it the people that are releasing killer robots onto your streets?
00:32:18.000And a robotic device called a digidog which is designed to assist the NYPD in investigating high-risk or hazardous incidents.
00:32:27.000We want the public to know that the use of these technologies will be transparent, consistent, and always done in collaboration with the people that we serve.
00:32:36.000Just the way things have been up till now really, always been pretty transparent, always a general feeling of service.
00:32:43.000The culture sets up, I think, fake arguments that we're progressing because of these technological advances.
00:32:49.000But let's not ignore the fact that what she's telling us is robot dogs are coming to police you.
00:33:33.000All these conspiracy theories come together to make one big not-a-conspiracy theory and nothing to worry about and just a dog trotting down your street shooting people.
00:33:42.000The commissioner responding to intense community backlash the first time the NYPD tried to use the futuristic digi-dog during the de Blasio administration.
00:33:51.000Some described it as a manifestation of overly aggressive police tactics used in poor communities.
00:33:57.000Hey, this is a manifestation of overly aggressive police tactics!
00:34:01.000What about now, a couple of years later?
00:34:02.000Oh no, this is the forefront of progress now!
00:34:13.000Are you aware of what's going on with AI?
00:34:15.000Are you aware of how much power these things are accumulating and generating and the possibility that it's attuned to forces and powers that we will never ever be able to confront?
00:34:24.000You can tell in everything they're saying that they're trying to sort of covertly address the real problem.
00:34:31.000It looks like we're putting robot dogs into the street which will lose normal cops their jobs and prevent there being human connection between those that are being policed and the police force.
00:34:42.000Also enabling more surveillance, more power to big tech who you know you cannot trust already.
00:34:48.000I know it looks like that but we can't be afraid of technology.
00:35:18.000They're aware of that argument, and they've made that decision.
00:35:20.000We could either give them better housing, mental health care, fairer, less unequal societies, or we could take even more money and shoot those motherfuckers with robot dogs.
00:36:48.000There are so many things that we're accepting, that there aren't different ways to improve communities, that there aren't massive conversations to be had about how communities are run.
00:36:56.000All of this is being bypassed essentially by a shiny robot and the people are so terrified and sort of bludgeoned with stupidity that they'll probably applaud that fucking thing and give it a parade.
00:37:06.000New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD have reintroduced the DigiDog.
00:37:11.000I'm not going to call it a dog, it's a robot policeman.
00:37:20.000A $74,000 robot that resembles a dog, except in the traits of loyalty, kindness, friendliness, and warmth, which was paused by the previous man.
00:38:10.000People do not want RoboCop on the street.
00:38:12.000Perhaps because they've seen the film RoboCop.
00:38:15.000This announcement is another example of the NYPD's violation of basic norms of transparency and accountability by rolling out these technologies without providing the public a meaningful opportunity to raise concerns, the Legal Aid Society is quoted as saying, in objection to the move.
00:38:29.000We've been through defund the police, we've been through the hatred of the police, now we're saying it's progress to turn the police into robots.
00:38:36.000Another piece of tech called the K5 autonomous security robot is also being rolled out alongside the quadrupedal robot which NBC New York reports That's surveillance.
00:38:51.000Surveillance robots on the streets, watching you, and then grassing you up to the authorities.
00:38:56.000You know, because you're a criminal, or maybe you're just doing something that the state objects to.
00:39:00.000And will be used to conduct automated patrol in confined areas both indoors and outdoors such as transit stations.
00:39:07.000Every objection to police militarisation as a dangerous slippery slope has been 100% vindicated by history.
00:39:13.000And there's no reason to expect that to change as they start rolling out cop bots.
00:39:18.000As John and Nisha Whitehead explained last year for the Rutherford Institute, this ongoing expansion of police robot militarization tracks alongside the steadily increasing militarization of police forces in the U.S.
00:39:42.000In order to continue to fund the Cyborg Dog Cop, they will have to demonstrate that it's valuable and therefore show that it's being used in arrests and, oh, this neighbourhood's 10% more successful or whatever.
00:39:52.000So once they introduce it, it never goes backwards.
00:39:55.000Since the dawn of history, rulers have dreamed of having mindless, obedient soldiers who will never turn against them, will never disobey orders, And we'll never hesitate to attack the civilians of their own country when told to do so.
00:40:05.000Cop bots are the final solution to the ancient problem that there are always a whole lot more ordinary people than there are rulers, because once they're fully militarized and fully rolled out, they can be used to subdue a population of any size.
00:40:19.000When there are these uprisings in France, in Sri Lanka, in the Netherlands, in the US, when people are less and less satisfied with their government, more and more cynicism about inequality, about corruption in media and government, you could either create a fairer, more just democratic society, or you could send robots with guns out onto the street.
00:40:36.000What do you think is more likely, given this news story?
00:40:39.000Let me know in the chat and the comments.
00:40:40.000Now the Oakland Police Department is pushing for the use of robots armed with shotguns.
00:40:45.000Police have already used a robot armed with a bomb to kill a suspect in Texas.
00:40:49.000Like all escalations in police powers and police militarization, the increasingly widespread use of police kill bots will be justified in the name of saving lives and protecting law enforcement officers, but we'll certainly see a rise in abuses of the new power.
00:41:02.000More importantly, at least in the long term, once armed robots are being used to police civilian populations, the powerful will have made the possibility of a people's revolution against them far more remote.
00:41:12.000So democracy doesn't work, protest doesn't work, surveillance is now possible, omni-surveillance almost, and now we have an armed police force of killer robot dogs.
00:41:23.000How you gonna vote your way out of this one?
00:41:25.000Flesh-and-blood armed police will hesitate to fire upon their countrymen in a domestic uprising.
00:41:30.000They can be persuaded to side with the people and oust the sitting government.
00:41:34.000They have beating hearts and aren't covered in armor.
00:41:37.000AI-guided weapons robots are not yet enforcing the rule of law on our streets, but that does appear to be where we're headed.
00:41:43.000And once we're there, it's entirely possible that the door to revolution will have been bolted shut for good.
00:41:48.000If that's the case, then it's no exaggeration to say that humanity is in a race between A, a revolution against the status quo power structures which are oppressing and exploiting us while driving us towards disaster, and B, the ubiquity of armed police units.
00:42:01.000Our rulers keep incrementally pacing us into accepting this in the same way they pace us into accepting internet censorship, whistleblower persecution, and the war on journalism.
00:42:11.000And you can think of examples of each of those.
00:42:13.000Whistleblowers who reveal information being smeared and dissenting voices being controlled, surveillance being increased, police being militarized, New protest laws, totally immersive surveillance.
00:42:26.000Even if you happen to agree with the government in your country now, and I bet you don't, let me know in the chat and the comments, surely you see now that this creates the possibility for a corrupt, centralized dictatorship to take total control of your country and ultimately the world.
00:42:42.000We have to oppose measures like this while they're small enough to be crushed.
00:42:47.000Otherwise, we may never get the chance again.
00:43:53.000The counter-clip-clop movement's begun, and it begun here.
00:43:57.000We have got a fantastic guest joining us right now, a person that I have met and been on a TV programme with and sat on an armchair under bright lights looking at for a moment, having those sort of powerful moments of reflection that I often have when I'm on a television show where I start thinking about God and death and meaning.
00:44:34.000I remember thinking that alongside the Thanos-like wrestler man, who I liked and was funny and made a couple of good jokes and seemed like a pretty nice guy actually, the person I liked who was opposite from me was Kat Timpf, whose book I hold in my hand now, you can't joke about that, which pictures her holding some booze in a microphone in a studded shoe, sat atop of a, I believe, A coffin.
00:44:56.000And me and Kat Timpf are going to have a conversation now and talk about, I suppose, hate speech.
00:45:02.000Also, Kat, you know, I met Kat on Fox.
00:45:04.000We've got to talk about what's going on on Fox and all that stuff.
00:45:20.000We had some great conversations about binary thinking and the way that people in power like to play us against each other so that we don't pay attention to how corrupt things are getting and the way they're abusing their power and I've loved a lot of things that you've said sort of continuing in that exact direction.
00:45:37.000Yeah, like, I've started to find, like, I'm having conversations with people that I've been trained to be suspicious of.
00:45:54.000It seems to me that you're very interested in freedom and conversation and humour and fun.
00:46:03.000Tell me, mate, this book, is the driving idea behind your book that ongoing censorship will ultimately be deleterious because we won't be able to muck about and have fun?
00:46:17.000And I'm a libertarian, so I'm not in either one of the two big teams.
00:46:22.000The point of the book is all the things that we're not supposed to talk about, the things that we're not supposed to joke about, how harmful that is to the people who are actually going through tough things.
00:46:32.000If you're going through trauma, You don't want to be treated weird by people who are too afraid to speak to you and maybe say the wrong thing and that applies to so many different things because ultimately we're all in this together and the only way that we're actually going to be able to survive is being able to openly communicate with each other about everything including political stuff and the stuff you shouldn't say but also stuff like like death which is why I'm sitting on a coffin on my book cover.
00:47:01.000That's why you're sitting on that coffin?
00:47:05.000I think that a lot of the debate is always about speech versus sensitivity, right?
00:47:11.000But that really ignores the way that it can bring us together because every tough thing I've ever been through, one thing that got me through it was thinking, okay, well, I'm at least building a connection with everyone else who's been through it too, whether it was Losing my mom at a young age, being very, very broke starting out, or I had an emergency ostomy surgery in 2020.
00:47:30.000Then I had a reversal where I had some complications and I was in the hospital actually on January 6th.
00:47:37.000But what's the use if we can't talk about all of that stuff?
00:47:40.000So we're actually limiting our ability to connect with each other and also to heal within ourselves because if something is really scary, then the best way to take away the power from that thing is to laugh in the face of it.
00:47:52.000I saw Jon Stewart make a point like that, talking about some of the stuff that Kanye said, and it was one of the things I've most enjoyed.
00:48:00.000Really, we get opportunities for conversation, although I suppose not everyone likes to talk about sensitive or traumatic issues, and I suppose, really, Kat, we want to foster a situation where you're not afraid to speak about stuff but neither are you afraid to be private.
00:48:21.000It's this odd situation where public speech is being censored while simultaneously we're being surveilled and observed, criminalised and treated as people that need to be paternally handled and controlled.
00:48:34.000So it's an interesting time to be an outspoken person.
00:48:43.000I mean, I had a really good experience when I went on both Tucker and on Greg Gutfield.
00:48:49.000Tell me what it's like for you, how you started going on there, and then tell us a bit about what you think about the outcourt settlement and stuff, if you're comfortable talking about that and it doesn't put you in a compromising legal situation.
00:48:59.000Right, well, I think this kind of goes back to a lot of the stuff you were saying, because, you know, I work on Fox News, but I work on The Late Night Show, so I wasn't covering the 2020 election.
00:49:09.000But if you hear Fox News, you think it's a monolith, right?
00:49:13.000People say, Kat, Tim, Fox News, and then they think in their head, okay, I now know everything that I need to know about this person, to the point where there are some people who won't even sit down and have a conversation with me.
00:49:24.000They know nothing about me, they know nothing about my life, And I even saw that happen to you when you were a guest on Fox News, and all the things you were saying were about this binary thinking and, you know, the power systems.
00:49:36.000And people said, oh, you went on Fox News, so now Russell Brand is a far right-wing person.
00:49:42.000But that's how people in power maintain their power and grow their power, because we're so focused arguing back and forth with each other.
00:49:49.000The place where I work, Doesn't say everything that there is to say about me and I think that that is very rarely the case and that keeps people from actually understanding each other or from noticing what's going on from the people in power who are just growing their power.
00:51:18.000And it's even worse because this isn't new.
00:51:21.000And then there's also the Afghanistan papers.
00:51:24.000I mean, it's all built into the system that if you go to, I mean, my husband, he fought in Afghanistan and he said, when he was 10 years ago, he said, when I was there, I knew that what they were telling us or telling, you know, us, meaning the world that they were trying to do, that was never going to be possible.
00:51:39.000But by telling people in power what they wanted to hear, oh, it's going great, it's going great.
00:51:55.000And not the fact that we've all been lied to.
00:51:57.000And I was suspicious of this the entire time because I'm awake.
00:52:02.000And just like you were not a patriot if you question some of the stuff in the Middle East, if you question Ukraine, then you're a Putin puppet, right?
00:52:09.000The more that they tell you you can't question something, the more that I think, I better look into this.
00:52:47.000And it costs lives, but people make money and we're all just sitting there like, Oh, did you hear about that guy broke that law or what that person said, or that team is bad.
00:52:55.000And I'm like, is anybody else paying attention to this?
00:52:59.000Well yeah, we're paying close attention to it and what we're observing is that most of the stories that we cover are about how state regulation usually improves corporate interest ability to act upon their agenda.
00:53:17.000That the media, generally speaking, highlight issues that are difficult to resolve and could easily be brought to some kind of conclusion by an acceptance of mutual tolerance and leaving one another alone.
00:54:14.000But, you know, again, I just want to add to that, you know, people who are working in government, you know, we pay their salary and they're supposed to be servants.
00:54:25.000So obviously they get rich doing this, which should just tell you all that you need to know.
00:54:30.000Also, you go in as a politician and you become super wealthy.
00:54:35.000And again, we all allow this to happen and we don't ask any questions.
00:54:38.000We all need to talk more and listen to each other more and not just say, OK, I think that I know what this person is because of this or that affiliation or in this team and that team, because it's just getting worse every day and they keep getting away with it and nobody seems to care.
00:54:52.000Who do you want to read a bit of your book?
00:55:13.000You know, if you're a spirit of the underworld.
00:55:15.000Even if you didn't have any of the real problems associated with the COVID pandemic, like someone close to you dying, losing your job or your business, or having to spend all of your time at home with your children.
00:55:48.000This is just an extract from Kat Timp's book in which she sacrilegiously perches upon a wooden esophagus and waits for, well, waits for the general attitude around humour to radically alter.
00:56:07.000Kat, thanks for coming on this show and talking to us.
00:56:53.000I consider comedy to be actually my religion.
00:56:55.000I hope one day to believe in God again, but it's so healing and I think it's so important when everything else is so sad and disgusting going on around us to be able to speak the way we want to about it.
00:57:07.000Yeah, sometimes I get so serious on the show because we're analysing things that seem really important.
00:57:11.000You have to hold all of this dense information.
00:57:13.000You have to be careful that you're not doing the things you're being accused of by your detractors of like, oh no, are we supporting conspiracy theories?
00:59:09.000you're getting with the right crowd, the assassin crowd, I suppose. Let us know in the chat if you know how to become
00:59:12.000one. Anyway, this poor lad's become a bit of a patsy and the object of mainstream ire. But really, the story, I
00:59:19.000believe, when someone from the military is willing to become a spoof assassin is why aren't they earning enough
00:59:26.000from their proper job being in the military? And what is the real story of criminality and corruption? Is it
00:59:33.000military industrial complex, complex expenditure? Or is it one lad photographing himself
00:59:33.000himself in front of a mirror with some snacks behind him. A bit like that other lad. Buddy
00:59:37.000Texera. Whistleblower, gamer, OG, revealer of the simple fact that we've been lied to
00:59:44.000about the Ukraine-Russia conflict. We'll also be talking to you about a potential cure for
00:59:50.000long COVID. Yeah, you can sniff your way back to full health.
00:59:55.000It seems ridiculous, but a lot of things are ridiculous these days.

01:00:12.000Like someone's got to make a tough decision, someone's got their heart broken, anything.
01:00:16.000I also want to let you know that in the middle of July, we are doing a community festival.
01:00:21.000Wim Hof, the Ice Shaman, will be there.
01:00:24.000Vandana Shiva, World Teacher, will be there.
01:00:26.000Hiron Gracie, BJJ Expert, will be there.
