Brad and Jake are joined by Dave from Shoot Me Straight to talk about the Digital ID parade this Saturday, the disappearance of missing children worldwide, and more. Stay free, y'all! - The Dark Side Of
00:05:59.000And like, well, let's tell people to go to that because I think you really should if you're in the UK.
00:06:02.000If you're not in the UK, then, well, you've probably made a good choice.
00:06:08.000You're probably going to be better off.
00:06:10.000Have you been watching our unpacked lately?
00:06:11.000We've made some excellent content where we really look in intricate detail as best as we can about our historical precedent for stories in the news.
00:06:20.000And we'll be bringing you some more insights into them soon.
00:06:23.000If you ain't got Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium now.
00:06:25.000And please do join us in the comments, whether you're on locals or on Rumble Premium.
00:06:30.000We want to hear what you've got to say about our main stories.
00:06:44.000That's where he talked about everyone, the founding fathers, was a Christian and that the American Constitution won't work outside of a Christian culture.
00:06:50.000A kind of a denial of secularism in a way.
00:06:53.000Occultism at Tucker Carlson's Alps party.
00:07:11.000Then it was clear that he could do it anytime he wanted to.
00:07:13.000And we're going to talk about Bob Lazar's revelation that there are documentations about Christ and genetically engineered Christ in like sort of high-level clandestine UFO-related deep state entities.
00:07:25.000It's going to be a brilliant conversation.
00:07:28.000We're going to start talking about Christmas because that's the kind of thing we're into over here.
00:07:32.000And as you know, I'm joined today by beloved Dave from the podcast Shoot Me Straight, which he does with Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, who was not pardoned, who was acquitted on this.
00:07:43.000People say he's pardoned, but he's a quid.
00:07:45.000People can find Shoot Me Straight wherever you listen to podcasts.
00:08:59.000Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations and the US Coast Guard, with support from the Department of War, executed a seizure warrant for a crude oil tanker used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela to Iran.
00:09:13.000For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned.
00:09:15.000Some people, Jeremy Corbyn in the UK, called it out and out piracy.
00:09:19.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:09:21.000In the old days, before I had these flirtations with what are sort of known as right-wing politics or MAGA or whatever, I would have seen that as old-school shock doctrine, US imperialism seeking to control resources in the south of the American continent.
00:10:43.000Let me know in the comments and chat if you agree with this.
00:10:45.000What I heard was now Ukraine and Russia's gone so crazy with revelations around corruption and embezzlement within Ukraine under Zelensky that a kind of tacit geopolitical deal has been done between Trump and Putin along the lines of, look, we need that shit in Venezuela, that oil and stuff, and Venezuela having deals with China and deals with Iran and deals with ULOT.
00:11:24.000In American domestic politics, the hostility towards RFK has heightened and increased with Representative Haley Stevens announcing that she's planning to impeach him or began the process for his impeachment, which of course has to be a sort of Congress-wide activity.
00:11:43.000Let's have a look at this because when I saw her making that announcement, I couldn't tell who she was funded by.
00:11:49.000And that's what I'd like to know primarily and foremost.
00:13:23.000The gentleman from Maryland is recorded.
00:13:27.000Gloves are actually a symbol of something.
00:13:29.000And I think that thing is severe mental illness.
00:13:33.000And she said she was wearing those latex gloves to remind us of doctors and nurses and their extraordinary challenges.
00:13:40.000But if you've been looking at what's going on in the UK right now, they've invented something called Superflu that they're trying to sell you as if it's like a sort of a James Gunn reboot of a failing DC franchise.
00:13:50.000Super flu now, you've got to be worried about.
00:13:53.000Like this time last year, COVID, they're saying the same stuff.
00:13:56.000In fact, maybe we have some trailers or content from our unpack to throw to to show you some of that stuff, do we?
00:14:07.000All right, let me let me she's pretty, she's out there.
00:14:11.000Yeah, it would be good to see some of that stuff, I think.
00:14:13.000Some of the, have we got any trailers for the unpacked in this deck?
00:14:49.000Yeah, there's, yeah, if you look at my stream on X, there's like I've like posted a bunch of it.
00:14:55.000Then there's all this Candice Owens stuff we've been posting, of course.
00:14:59.000And then lots of like, yeah, this stuff by Robert Minotti.
00:15:02.000Yeah, I guess we should probably talk through this show 24 hours ahead to get a sort of a better handle on the stuff we're doing, I think, because yeah, look if I feel a bit bewildered by it.
00:15:28.000And our stuff with John Campbell, it'd be lovely to you.
00:15:31.000Yeah, I think we should have assets for our from Unpacked as a standard in this show, if you don't mind.
00:15:38.000Are you talking about all the COVID vaccine?
00:15:41.000In the UK now, they're trying to get everyone boosted and take like a bunch of like flu shots.
00:15:47.000And they're trying to sell this flu season as a kind of retread of COVID.
00:15:54.000But it's really hard because the language is the same as COVID.
00:15:59.000They're getting people to wear masks in hospitals, having already had to previously acknowledge and admit that masks don't work.
00:16:08.000You know, so it's sort of, it's amazing because one of the things I think we're experiencing as social media becomes sort of like fully immersive is that time is collapsing.
00:16:20.000Like things are happening so quickly that it's not like, you know, say the Watergate scandal, it happens, then there's an investigative process and slowly it's revealed that there was corruption and burglary of documentation.
00:16:31.000Or, you know, or pick a conspiracy theory, the assassination of JFK.
00:16:36.000Now, these things are happening so quick.
00:16:38.000Look at the timeline with, say, the tragic and very sad murder, obviously, of Charlie Kirk.
00:16:47.000Within days, people are sort of processing it and, you know, coming to the conclusion that whatever the truth is, there's more to it than we were initially told.
00:17:00.000Now, it doesn't, you know, like, you know, obviously having just spoken to Candace Owens, I'm sort of nervous about going to a turning point event because, and also, like, whenever you talk to anyone who's in the sort of the white heat of a moment, the content gets viewed more, people talk to you more.
00:17:20.000But I think that what's positive about this type of social media that we all work in, this kind of independent media, is the ability to have these conversations, the ability to process it.
00:17:31.000So, you know, like, even though it is incendiary to hear some of the things that Candace Owens is saying and how far it goes, in particular, occultist sects within Judaism that she says are orchestrating world events, that's like a difficult thing to hear and a difficult thing to corroborate and a difficult thing to understand.
00:17:54.000And I suppose even more so when it gets closer at home, when it's like, oh, I feel that Charlie Kirk's death is somehow connected to this.
00:18:02.000But what I don't like is when it becomes, let's not have the conversation, let's shut her down, let's shut this down.
00:18:08.000I think that's sort of equally dangerous.
00:18:10.000And I'm thinking I've got a real opportunity at this turning point event to be a participant in conciliation, in reconciliation and true Christian principles of forgiveness, unity, togetherness and harmony that extend obviously beyond various fractions on the right and and even beyond America and American politics and into a global church where ultimately we've got to start with what do we have in common?
00:18:47.000Can we agree on don't like you know so like you know like a spirit of reconciliation and unity is what I'm actually interested in.
00:18:57.000So how that relates to this super flu stuff is, for all of the talk of conspiracy, for all of the talk of misinformation and malinformation, in a 12-month period now, or excuse me, in this winter season, you're able, if you look at UK media, to see them attempting...
00:19:27.000Where's COVID gone now when it comes to the recording of these flu deaths?
00:19:31.000If we established in the post-COVID period that masks were largely ineffective, what's the point in wearing a mask if we establish that social distancing is largely ineffective?
00:19:41.000Now I know that flu and COVID are ostensibly and very actually different conditions, but what we're seeing are patterns and trends in the way that the media behaves when attempting to utilize crisis.
00:19:52.000And in this social media environment, that's not going to be possible in the same way.
00:19:57.000There's too much conversation, there's too much inquiry, there's a total lack of trust.
00:20:02.000The negative side of that is, of course, this state of bewilderment.
00:20:05.000I think if most people are honest, they're in, whether it's you know.
00:20:15.000Is he a rogue bad actor on the global stage?
00:20:18.000Or is the colonialist, imperialist United States Of America the great Satan, as any Ayatyla will tell you, imposing its will upon a sovereign nation?
00:20:28.000All of those kind of discourses took place, but now they're taking place immediately and rapidly, and not just with academic participants.
00:20:36.000Here comes everyone was the title of a famous book that in a sense, took the temperature of where we're going and where we're heading quickly.
00:20:44.000Now you know, this is a long-winded way of saying that if we don't find new systems of governance, we are either going to yield to calls for mass centralized control or there's going to be a good deal of conflict and mayhem and chaos.
00:21:03.000Why it has to be politically implemented, i.e.
00:21:07.000Politics is going to have to reflect what's happening in social media, because it's a new technology, a new means of communication, and if you try to stifle it and control it.
00:21:18.000It's going to have unpredictable outcomes, whereas if you accept it you might be able to somewhat shape the outcomes.
00:21:27.000I.e, 20 years ago, if the, if the NEW YORK Times said something, that was it.
00:21:47.000There's probably no one watching this who still believes BBC CNN Msnbc, but the people that are watching BBC CNN, Msnbc think that this whole world is filled with the type of madness.
00:22:01.000The problem is that the mainstream media demographic is shrinking and this one is growing.
00:22:08.000One of the problems is that all of the people in this space are now turning on one another in a kind of vociferous and vitriolic way, i.e.
00:22:16.000You know, a few years ago, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Dave Rubin, Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, it was all Tucker Carlson, it was all much for Muchness, sort of libertarian right-wing people with a variety, you know, Ben Shapiro, they were all one camp.
00:22:29.000Now it's not one camp anymore and it's not stabilized.
00:22:32.000In the same way, the same thing's happening measurably with the migration of the working class in American politics from the Democratic left to the Maga right.
00:22:43.000They used to be marshalled and controlled by the Union Movement.
00:22:46.000We learned that in a high sort of a high profile and somewhat esoteric environment where they where they explained this advocacy group that I was participating in did that their function was to ensure that the solidarity that once provided by Trade Union Movement when, like all American steel workers or American car workers would vote the same way, those industries are gone.
00:23:06.000Now those voters don't vote Democrat anymore.
00:23:11.000How are they going to be directed and controlled even influenced, if you don't like words like directed and controlled?
00:23:16.000We're in a such a mobile time of continual, rapid change that if new institutions and new movements don't appear that essentially take what's come out of social media and implement it politically, we're going to live in total chaos for a while, and I think the way it's going is crisis, continual crisis, are being leveraged to legitimize control.
00:23:57.000There's the same basic interests and institutions are still in charge now, and the reason I like the flu example is because it's so obviously analogous.
00:24:05.000You don't have to apply the same mindset to something abstract or distinct.
00:25:05.000I liked that because the guy that I reposted I can't remember someone, you know just one of my mates sent it to me and this dude excuse me, who posted it is called Robin Minatti.
00:25:23.000His grandfather was the head of the bar association, the legal association in the UK.
00:25:29.000He says, a reminder that no human being can ever tell another one to wear a face mask, take a test or have an injection without violating their inalienable human rights.
00:25:36.000They can only ask and they have to accept a negative answer without disadvantage or prejudice.
00:25:41.000So what we're living in is a sort of an attempt to mask enshrined rights behind authoritarianism.
00:25:47.000Authoritarianism these days ain't coming at you down the barrel of a gun.
00:25:51.000It's coming at you down the barrel of a syringe.
00:25:54.000They're telling you you have to do this stuff in order to help others.
00:25:58.000It's a better tactic, but it has the same goal, mass authoritarianism.
00:26:03.000Most of the stuff I bought is not really, you know, sort of appropriate for this for the direction that the conversation is having, but I'm sure it will become relevant at some point.
00:27:28.000So I believe there are occultist elements that are ultimately in control of human institutions.
00:27:36.000And what's been challenging for me as getting familiarized with and immersed in scripture is the Old Testament is all about disobedience and false idolatry, worshiping false gods.
00:27:50.000And the New Testament is a kind of a new covenant on the basis that evil's in control of the world.
00:27:58.000Just says it again and again and again in there.
00:28:02.000So coming at it from a, like, as I've already sort of explained in this succession of digressions today, like, I come at this, I was always anti-establishment, anti-authority.
00:28:15.000I read things like Naomi Klein's shock doctrine, which talked about how American deep state interest infiltrated Latin and Central American countries, destabilized them, imposed governments that were favorable to U.S. economic interests.
00:29:05.000Does it just end with, like, is the, like, I guess we're saying, is the finishing line for humanity, there, I've got the most money and power, I win.
00:29:31.000And I think, you know, with my million monkeys typewriter theory, like we're living in that reality now, people are creating the complete works of Shakespeare all the time.
00:29:40.000You can find it all over the internet.
00:29:54.000But you can trace the outline of truth.
00:29:55.000And something that I would never have thought about before, Jewish folklore and an earlier iteration of the original human family is something I will consider now.
00:30:26.000The original Lilith is a desert-dwelling night demon, a spirit tied to danger, chaos, and spiritual perversion.
00:30:34.000Her earliest appearance goes back 4,000 years to Babylon, where she was feared as a female night spirit who preyed on the vulnerable, especially pregnant women and newborns.
00:30:45.000The Bible mentions her only once in Isaiah 34, describing her as a creature living in a wasteland after God's judgment.
00:30:53.000A wilderness demon, a symbol of destruction.
00:30:57.000The Dead Sea Scrolls list Lilith among violent night spirits and demons that attack people when they are weak and unprotected.
00:31:05.000The Talmud describes her as a winged predator, nocturnal, seductive, and dangerous to anyone alone at night.
00:31:12.000Across every ancient source, her traits remain the same.
00:31:51.000so it doesn't mention her by name in here that i can that i can see at a glance but yeah that doesn't seem like a good yeah it doesn't seem like a good spirit Okay, man, Jesus Christ.
00:32:42.000What some people say is, oh no, it's only this, it's only that, and it's no big deal, and it doesn't matter.
00:32:47.000And yeah, of course, you could rationalize and unravel any one of these things, but if you look at what the culture's doing, even with pretty innocuous artifacts, it is a culture that deadens you.
00:33:01.000See that Terence McKenna, he said, Terence McKenna, the biologist, and he was one of them people that was doing a bunch of acid and a lot of mushrooms and a lot of psilocybin like 20, 30 years ago and reporting on it extensively.
00:33:13.000He said, the culture is not your friend.
00:33:16.000How is that any different from the function of the world is to distract you, to ensnare you, to control you?
00:33:24.000And that's why, Jake, when we were watching that show, Jay Kelly or whatever on Netflix, the reason I can't get enthralled again by creative endeavor is because I've been enthralled by it.
00:33:40.000I spent so long thinking, I'll make that movie, then I'll make that, and then that will happen, and then I'll marry this person, then this will happen.
00:33:48.000That anything that sort of feels like that to me, I'm not, you know, we're all different timelines, we're all on different paths, but anything like it to me feels like Babylon, Babylon, like anything that's about, and then I'll make this movie.
00:34:00.000I don't know how I can, at this point, and I'm trying to keep this grounded, be involved in anything that's not explicitly.
00:34:08.000Like when we went to Rome, Dave and Joe, and when I see them Caravaggios of St. Matthew, and we're 10 minutes away from the Vatican, I think, well, look, what these Caravaggios depict in the anointing or appointing of St. Matthew, the writing of St. Matthew, and then the ultimate martyrdom of St. Matthew is if you dedicate yourself to Christ,
00:34:36.000to the highest principle, to God-made flesh, then you're probably going to die for it.
00:34:42.000Otherwise, what you're probably going to do is some neutered version of it where you sort of do it a little bit, but you pay your dividends and your tributes.
00:34:52.000What they call it when you used to be in the clubs, subs.
00:34:55.000When you pay your subs to the culture.
00:35:54.000All of those things you can sort of detect.
00:35:56.000But then when you start to pull at an individual strand like Candice is doing, you may be at risk, and this is, I suppose, the big question, of not correctly assessing the conduct of a grieving widow.
00:36:11.000You know, like, you know, maybe like, who knows what it'd be like if your partner was shot in public and the many ways you might try and handle that.
00:36:18.000Or turning point cooperating with a criminal investigation.
00:36:23.000What's that going to fucking look like?
00:36:24.000And what things you can say and what things you can't say.
00:36:28.000So for me at the moment, I'm just like trying to be involved in these conversations, listen to this stuff, and try to root my understanding in this very beautiful edition of the New International Version of the Holy Bible.
00:37:31.000But like, so look, but what I think with modern, the problem, not the problem I had, I thought that that movie on Netflix J. Kelly was amazing and brilliant.
00:37:39.000But what I'm sort of confused by is how a film that's an essay on the sort of futility of Hollywood is delivered to you as a Hollywood package that will still be assessed in the same way.
00:37:53.000What were the product placements in it?
00:37:55.000I've sort of seen too much of that world.
00:37:58.000There's people in there that I've done films with, there's people in there that I've met, even some of the people that are sort of, you know, behind the scenes, like say with the documentary made about it.
00:38:08.000And what like, like what I reckon is, like, it's a bit like The Matrix, I suppose.
00:38:15.000Then we all just watch it and then go, huh, yeah, I suppose it is a bit like we've had our consciousness captured and controlled and our energy's been siphoned off and stolen and there's another reality, you know, and we all just carry on.
00:38:28.000I think about like, you know, C.S. Lewis or Tolkien, when they were writing in these very creative formats, if writing, you know, if they had the technology that we have now, do you think they might have produced movies?
00:38:43.000Or do you think it would only be writing?
00:38:46.000That's the part I'm trying to wrestle with you.
00:39:13.000If you were beginning now, would you say, let's have a royal family, let's have these congresses where you sort of aggregate power and you only have 400 people that are in charge of 300 million people populations.
00:39:27.000If you were starting now, you'd go, listen, in order to protect the interests of ordinary folks, you're going to have to have some principles like sovereignty of the individual, sovereignty of the family, respect for people's different lifestyles.
00:39:39.000Don't let power centralize too much because it'll always fuck people over.
00:39:42.000You'd have those principles from the get-go.
00:39:44.000Now, like, so with something like, we're in the media that matters most.
00:39:50.000And I suppose that's why I get frustrated by small things easily and like my and the management of my own ability and deficits of what I need to work with, what I need to work with.
00:40:06.000I'm good at direct, sort of straight to a person, whether that's talking one-on-one with a drug addict about if you want to stop taking drugs, eventually you're going to have to go through the pain of not taking drugs.
00:40:15.000You're going to have to get to the moment where you need to, where you want, I don't know what drug this is.
00:40:19.000This is actually chocolate is what I'm like, you're going to have to get to the moment where you want it really bad and then not do it.
00:40:26.000The more oddly, the more diffuse things get, the less I like it.
00:40:30.000And I think like if what your message is, is we are involved in a holy war.
00:40:35.000The governments and most powerful interests and institutions in the world have been captured by evil, not just some fuck off country you barely know the name of.
00:40:43.000The main countries have been captured by evil.
00:40:47.000Like we, and the only solution is for individuals to awaken and become armed.
00:40:53.000I mean spiritually armed, but gosh, who knows?
00:40:55.000I mean spiritually armed the armaments of God, the full armor of God.
00:41:00.000Like I can't at this point get myself in.
00:41:04.000And the best way to do that is to write a poem.
00:41:07.000But maybe this is, you know, we're all at our level, aren't we?
00:41:09.000We're all at our level because I'm not.
00:41:11.000I've always thought that with when people say, like, why don't Elon Musk give off his money to, why don't you give half your fucking money?
00:41:19.000You give half your fucking money instead of trying to puppet Elon Musk, you know, from 200 miles away behind like loads of black ops security.
00:41:29.000If you think everyone should give away half their money, you give away half your money.
00:41:34.000But where I am with, so what I mean to say is where I am now is I'm in this period of obvious volatility because I've gone from living one life to an entirely another life really quickly.
00:41:54.000But like lots of things in it were already there.
00:41:57.000Like I never, like from very, the reason I've not took a vaccine is because something in me knew already, don't fucking take a vaccine, them cancer liars.
00:42:09.000And that thing, what's amazing to me is when I'm applying that mindset to Christ, it's not like, hold on a minute, this is obviously some method to get people to conform as a control mechanism, which is what I thought before I read it.
00:42:21.000Before I read it, I would have told you all day long.
00:42:24.000But that's because one set of churches seems to prioritize resources, power, and centralized authority.
00:42:30.000And the other set of churches, morality and ethics in a kind of a judgmental way with a fixation on sex and sexuality and identity that's not been helpful.
00:42:40.000And it feels to me like, and then when people get into the mystery of it, it's sometimes seems stupid.
00:42:46.000That stuff, dancing around with flags, you know, like it's like, so how do we manage it?
00:42:51.000Like, how do we like, go, this is actually a real thing.
00:42:54.000Like, you know, if you're a Christian, you believe in the virgin birth, you believe angels and devils are real.
00:48:55.000That when Christ returns, it's going to be in this glory and it's going to be in a way that we can't quite even conceive of.
00:49:02.000That he's white and luminous and that the whiteness even affects his clothes and his hair and everything's sort of bright and radiant and solid somehow, more solid, not ethereal.
00:49:14.000And like when you're sort of the lights and fantastic things, you know, see, what's the difference between that Paris Lilith parade and that Texan churches spectacle?
00:49:27.000It's both that they're displays of power.
00:49:31.000And I would say in a sense, that in a way, what difference does it make if you're saying that this Lilith is super powerful?
00:49:38.000Or if you're saying banging the drums and floating around in the air is powerful.
00:49:41.000Unless it, like, what does it come down to?
00:49:49.000There's going to be a moment where either you're looking in their eyes.
00:49:52.000If you're lucky, there's going to be a moment where you're looking into their eyes or they're looking to yours and it's going to be like, see you then.
00:51:26.000And the things I've learned from taking drugs of sort of, you know, like how I've messed up my brain with drugs, it reaches me in that place, the super rational, the peace that passes of all understanding.
00:52:00.000Like when it's when do you get to that point of no human power could relieve us of our addiction or our condition, I think that the cultures at that point, no human power.
00:52:11.000And what the culture is trying to tell you is, we can, because AI is going to be able to do this and robotics is going to be do that.
00:52:17.000And we all know that what will happen with robotics and AI is that it will centralize around existing power structures and they'll become more powerful.
00:53:19.000And one of the things I heard about that is when you go there, you meet some like old lady or whatever, and she's not going to talk to you about, you know, Thomas Aquinas or anything, but she's going to show you that she's serious about God by crawling along on her belly or whatever.
00:53:35.000What I mean to say, the reason I mentioned the cleverness, and I've never really been that baffled by sort of clever people that I've encountered, is because of the misapprehension I had about scripture prior to encountering it.
00:53:47.000But prior to encountering it, I thought, I know what this is.
00:53:54.000Even say when someone like Ricky Gervais, who I admire, said that there was an argument in his household when he was a kid and someone said, like, he overheard his mum say something to his brother and she went like that.
00:54:06.000Like, you know, like they talked about Jesus in a way that was like, oh yeah, that's for the kids.
00:54:27.000But what I think is, is you can never go, the deeper you go into it, the more is revealed.
00:54:34.000Like it keeps revealing more and more.
00:54:36.000And actually, if you take it seriously, what it does to you as an individual and what it would do to whole cultures is transform us.
00:54:43.000That's its point, is about transfiguration, transformation, ascendance.
00:54:49.000And also this allusion to a time where, again, why I suppose I'm interested in the Garden of Eden stuff and the Genesis stuff, even though obviously it's moving between poetics and symbolism and language that couldn't be understood by a rational mind, which is Del Say in Eastern mysticism, that which can be described as the Tao is not the Tao.
00:55:08.000That idea, which, you know, it's everywhere.
00:55:18.000We all had a different relationship with matter.
00:55:20.000Like C.S. Lewis says, you know, when your consciousness interacts with your cortices and moves your body, do you think that's the only way that can operate?
00:55:31.000Is it not possible that your consciousness can move matter from across the world?
00:55:35.000And when the revelation comes in quantum mechanics of entanglement, that the reversal of an electron reverses its partner electrons spiral simultaneously, that shows you that space and time are not what we think they are.
00:55:55.000Even the theory of relativity sort of touched on the edges of that.
00:55:58.000So what I'm saying is, is this does describe in various degrees of, I don't want to say competence, but sometimes it's opaque because of the customs and the language and the limits of our understanding.
00:56:11.000But it's describing the reality that science is beginning to see the hem of the garment.
00:56:31.000And by Luciferian in this context, I mean the attempt by a secondary agent, not the principal, to share dominion with God, with the highest principle.
00:56:41.000And like it says about Christ, being his son, didn't seek equality with him.
00:56:46.000Even being his son, like recognize there's this thing that's more powerful.
00:56:50.000And that hubris and that horror, that hubris and that horror of human arrogance and our demand for a sort of power on its own is, I think, the sort of driving force.
00:57:33.000Like maybe I'll go to jail for rape for 10 years in June next year and I'll be, oh, I'll just fucking read books to this bunch of fuckers in here.
00:58:18.000I don't want to go bald, let alone fucking have me head cut off.
00:58:21.000Yeah, I think Joe's a good example of it, too, because you think about Joe's the bruiser, but yet he's bringing all this deep philosophy and spirit.
00:58:44.000From a psychotic, alcoholic, drug addict, maniac to someone who tries to live in line with his will on a daily basis and help other people, emptying myself every day.
00:58:57.000You know, it's not always easy, but I feel like I do pretty good with that.
00:59:03.000Even if I find that I'm scrolling excessively on my phone or looking at jackets or trainers or bullshit or things on Instagram, do you know what I mean?
00:59:10.000I think this ain't useful to no one and this isn't what I should be doing.
00:59:14.000Whereas I guess like the way the culture is set up, it's like you're just self-serving all the time, looking for the next thing, go to work to get the money to get that, to do that, to do that.
00:59:29.000And for me, I believe once you have like a real spiritual awakening through Christ, when you try and fill that void with San Kelse, you'll fall into complete despair in no time.
01:00:54.000Even though the outside circumstances are different, I mean, what really happened was what happened internally.
01:01:02.000And when I try and think about that time, I think, I mean, when he saved me, like, food tastes different, things smelled different.
01:01:12.000Like trying to describe what happened to me internally, I mean, just coming to the realization that God's actually real, like, he's actually real.
01:01:23.000It absolutely the best word for it is reborn, to be honest.
01:01:53.000What does it happen if you grow up in a Christian family?
01:01:57.000Well, I think it's the understanding that it's not like here's a really good person and therefore he's elevated over somebody who's done drugs or been in addiction when you realize none of us are good, even at the best that we could possibly be.
01:02:13.000Even if you came from a good family, even if you've done all the right things apart from Jesus, it's not enough.
01:02:19.000So there has to be a point of salvation and then the process of salvation that happens.
01:02:28.000I'm thankful that I grew up in church, but it's not enough that you were in a family and you went to church and therefore you're automatically saved.
01:02:37.000So for me, it was like I gave my life to Jesus at a young age.
01:02:42.000And then there's just been this process over the last 30 years of stripping away of self, of thinking I got something right, just to realize I was letting pride or arrogance slip in and let God, through sanctification, sharpen and shape in me to make me more like him.
01:03:06.000It doesn't mean that if you grew up in a Christian home or you've had a good family, that you're not going to go through trials or hardships or any of those things.
01:03:14.000So I think for me, pride has been the thing that's been constantly chipped off of me over a long time of a lot of ups and downs, hardships, trials.
01:03:28.000And so I feel like mine wasn't, you know, I wasn't doing hardcore drugs at five years old, but I gave my life to Jesus when I was six and it was real.
01:03:51.000And my parents, my mom had cancer when I was young.
01:03:55.000That was a very like, okay, this is like real life happening, a lot of bad things happening.
01:04:01.000And if I don't know Jesus, if I don't have an understanding of where I'm going when I die, and if I don't trust him with my life, I'm in trouble no matter where I came from.
01:04:14.000And so, man, it's been a process, but God's faithful through it all.
01:04:20.000Even us sitting in this room is a result of God's faithfulness in our story.
01:04:27.000I keep thinking about like the clay and the potter and I've been like I've been having these meditative experiences that I learned TM, you know, transcendental meditation years ago with the David Lynch Foundation, which is like the repetition of a mantra.
01:04:46.000It's a word they give you that don't have no meaning, they say, so that you can ultimately, through turning that word over in your mind, you achieve these kind of states of, I guess, relaxation, one might say, although maybe they're accompanying phenomena, you know.
01:05:01.000Anyway, so I sort of put that aside, come into the Lord.
01:05:04.000But I've been doing this Course of Miracles, which is, you know, it's like a Christian, it's Christian.
01:05:12.000When I'm reading it, there's nothing in it.
01:05:15.000Like now, my manner of discernment is to identify if ever anything is straying outside of this.
01:05:25.000Say, you know, like I go yoga and I know that there's people that teach, like some of my Christian and scripture teachers, oh, don't go yoga, it's opening you up for demonic possession or whatever.
01:05:33.000And I'm like, it ain't doing that to me because I'm like, I'm all I'm thinking about is Jesus when I'm in there.
01:05:39.000That's why I think it's even the hard time of like, I'm not going to go do anything that takes away from my journey with Christ, which it's harder when somebody's maybe grown up in that world to see the importance.
01:06:31.000But like, yeah, for me, like the idea that I on my own in a hat ox, this is me, I'm not talking about anyone else, would not like, you know, because I don't know when it happened.
01:06:40.000It must have happened recently where I was like, there was nothing to do.
01:06:43.000And like, the idea that I would look at porn, it's just, I just wouldn't do it.
01:06:47.000I wouldn't like, like, that, that is on it.
01:08:08.000And then he just went through at me, like, got me underneath him.
01:08:11.000And then he was like punching me, but he was pulling the punches, you know, so but so, but it felt like the equivalent of, what can I do it on?
01:08:19.000It was sort of like, like, going like, like, just sort of like, but it's still in your face.
01:08:35.000Trap that arm, trap that leg, buck your hips, throw him over your head, keep aware of his arms, like then you'll be okay.
01:08:43.000You know, like, so when the tension, like, but if it's, if it's sort of gradual, I can adjust to it.
01:08:49.000And so what I'm trying to learn is in the environments of increasing stimulation, can I maintain my connection with God?
01:08:59.000What's been amazing, like, in the last year, obviously being accused of charged with rape and everything, is like when we go to them court cases, like I feel held.
01:09:09.000Like when we sort of go there, I feel like that is not like I see when I sort of feel the paparazzi leaning over, I think like, oh, you're, this is not, you guys are not, you're not the goodies.
01:09:21.000You're not like, we're here to make sure justice is done.
01:09:24.000You can see that it's sort of monstrous.
01:09:27.000And even when you're in the court, the absurdity of it, the wigs, the robes, the sigils, like, why is there a sigil of a unicorn chained and a lion?
01:09:47.000If it don't mean anything, if nothing means anything, you know, everyone knows that there's a secondary, deeper reality that we are participating in all the time.
01:09:57.000And what Christianity does is tells you how to negotiate with it, enhance it, and avoid the comparable and similar energy systems that will capture you if you're not careful.
01:10:08.000And I suppose, like, I don't know, man, I'm interested in mysticism, so I get fucking confused.
01:10:13.000So James 1, where it talks about considerate pure joy when you face trials of any kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
01:10:24.000And then let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
01:10:31.000And I think God is good that he doesn't always give it to us all at once.
01:10:38.000Here's just all the testing and trial all at once.
01:10:41.000But then he gives you, you walk through life and it's like, how good is your training?
01:11:10.000You can't be ready for it in the other side unless you have that trials.
01:11:15.000Like I think when even when jiu-jitsu started, that was kind of the premise of it.
01:11:20.000It's that they didn't hold their punches.
01:11:24.000And that's really where Carlos came from.
01:11:26.000But what I like about jiu-jitsu, it is just a microcosm of this world.
01:11:30.000And so like, it's not about, I mean, yes, it's about getting better as a grappler, but, you know, it's really about working out your real world stuff on the mats.
01:11:42.000It's given like that, the one you mentioned, the lady in Spain that will crawl with you up a hill in a same way.
01:11:50.000It's that doing something physically that's representing what's going on internally.
01:12:02.000So, working it out in the flesh is important.
01:12:05.000The problem we have is we go so into the flesh into decadence, hedonism, worship of sexuality, all of the false idol stuff is don't worship other stuff.
01:12:13.000I noticed as well lately how often there are references in the Old Testament to things that sound like antennae, you know, there are literal poles and horns and things that sound like their function is to direct ethereal and difficult to detect energy.
01:12:51.000And on a light note, yeah, this one's funny.
01:12:54.000Uh, it's it's a guy sharing a heartfelt moment.
01:12:57.000It's a guy sharing a heartfelt moment.
01:12:59.000Yeah, this is all Dave's willing to give us.
01:13:02.000I was alone on the porch with my boy one night, just me and him.
01:13:06.000And I looked at him and he looked at me, and I said, Would you rather have $10 million in your pocket right now or for one night and one night only, get all the boys back together and have a bonfire?
01:13:27.000And he looked at me and he said, Are you fucking retarded?
