Stay Free - Russel Brand - Gangster Government | Big Tech TAKEDOWN! - #101 - Stay Free With Russell Brand

00:00:00.000 I'm a black man and I could never be a better man.

00:00:29.000 Brought to you by Pfizer.

00:00:31.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:00:40.000 Oh In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:00:50.000 Hello there, you Awakening Wonders!

00:00:52.000 Thank you for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brand episode 101.

00:00:58.000 We couldn't celebrate the 100th episode because it was a terrible national tragedy in your country, America.

00:01:03.000 Today, on show 101, we are celebrating having done this a century of times.

00:01:08.000 If you're watching this on YouTube, the whole show will be available on Rumble.

00:01:12.000 We're going to give you this first part for free.

00:01:14.000 To let you know what free speech sounds like, baby, but we can only give you an inkling, we can only give you a tickle, the full thing will be over exclusively on Rumble and what a crescendo it promises to be.

00:01:25.000 We're going to be talking to Chris Best, the co-founder of Substack, an online media organisation that hosts many so-called journalists like Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger, many friends of the show.

00:01:36.000 I suppose we're going to talk to him about independent journalism and how, because of Substack, counter-narratives that centralised authority would prefer to suppress Just get out there into the world.

00:01:46.000 Written version of Rumble, in a way.

00:01:49.000 Written Rumble.

00:01:50.000 They write Rumble.

00:01:50.000 They write it.

00:01:51.000 That's what they do over there on Substack, so we're excited to talk to Chris Best about that, and I suppose the success of Substack demonstrates your appetite, your ongoing appetite for truth in a climate of fiction and falsehood.

00:02:04.000 We do a deep dive into the TikTok hearing, and Ask, and indeed answer, because it's a rhetorical device, what exactly is this Congressional hearing about when so many of the accusations levelled at TikTok could equally be levelled at US-based social media companies where there is obvious deep state infiltration, one of the things that Matt Taibbi and Barry Weiss and Michael Schellenberger's revelations showed us.

00:02:31.000 When we click over to being exclusively available on Rumble, we'll be talking about You know it's it's it is I mean it's plain it's often it's obvious and frequently we cover this subject because it's still something that's censored because it's become a pivotal and revelatory cathartic moment we're going to be talking about vaccine injury compensation cases in my country the UK we can't talk about it on YouTube and I think we should be able to it's been reported elsewhere in mainstream media and what

00:03:01.000 infuriates me about this and i'm gonna use the word infuriate this is show 101 i'm off the hook oh wow that's right if you're watching this on youtube get ready because like this i'm really going to express myself like this is what bothers me about that entire period of the pandemic and in particular the suggested medical solutions we paid for the development of those products you overpay to buy it from big pharma Moderna currently charging a 4,000% increase.

00:03:31.000 A drug that they could sell for $2.65, they're selling for hundreds of dollars. 0.69

00:03:34.000 It's just ridiculous.

00:03:36.000 And then when it all goes wrong, and there are vaccine injuries, allegedly, still on YouTube, you pay for the compensation.

00:03:45.000 Let me know in the chat, in the comments, particularly if you're a member of our Locals community, where you have the opportunity to directly communicate with us.

00:03:45.000 That's out of control.

00:03:51.000 We, on Stay Free, we're on there with you.

00:03:54.000 So post us questions.

00:03:55.000 The questions will get to me.

00:03:57.000 You'll be able to talk to us directly.

00:03:58.000 You'll see our little Stay Free avatar on there.

00:04:00.000 We're chatting away to you on Locals.

00:04:01.000 Join us.

00:04:01.000 Join us over there.

00:04:04.000 Well, it's business as usual.

00:04:06.000 It's as if Joe Biden don't know that we're celebrating Show 101, because the adorable devil he is, he's dithering about the great Vivified cadaver from place to place, all bewildered and delirious.

00:04:19.000 And so are you at the point now, Joe Biden, that even if you're appalled in particular by his recent sanctimonious grandstanding around Big Pharma, the new bill that doesn't do enough to cap Big Pharma prices is super diluted.

00:04:34.000 We'll be talking about that in more depth over the course of the coming days.

00:04:38.000 Even evoking the phantom of his father to say, you know, like, I know what it's like

00:04:43.000 to worry about a family member getting cancer, when there is a piece of legislation already

00:04:46.000 in place that would mean that they could prevent people profiting from cancer drugs by rescinding

00:04:54.000 their patents and ensuring that there would be, well, actually capitalism, free market

00:04:58.000 capitalism, and those drugs could be made at competitive prices. 0.68

00:05:01.000 Socialism in development, capitalism in the profits, very, very interesting modality.

00:05:06.000 Nevertheless, I, as a compassionate person on a path of individual awakening, on a journey like you, just a fallible, flawed person like you, not as bad as Gareth, worse than some people, Adorable Dan on Dan Cam.

00:05:18.000 He's a person that's on the path as well.

00:05:21.000 On some level I still feel sad about Joe Biden.

00:05:25.000 It's gone beyond the just condemnation of him.

00:05:28.000 Because I feel like it ain't right dragging him around like this anymore.

00:05:31.000 Like when you see him on some sort of like construction site.

00:05:34.000 Also I think like we're aware of like what Biden used to be.

00:05:37.000 Whether you agreed with his politics or not.

00:05:38.000 Like the earlier versions of Biden in Congress and he had such a kind of demeanor about him.

00:05:44.000 It was actually pretty impressive. 0.98

00:05:46.000 An erection with a comb over. 0.99

00:05:48.000 Can I say that? 0.99

00:05:49.000 Is that okay? 1.00

00:05:49.000 I guess... An erection with a comb over. 1.00

00:05:51.000 That's what it was like. 0.98

00:05:52.000 You see him in Congress, he was sort of like... He was like, Billy Big... Billy Big Bollocks!

00:05:56.000 Wasn't he?

00:05:59.000 He was hot for Trump, though, wasn't he?

00:06:01.000 He was, he was indeed.

00:06:01.000 Wasn't he, Joe Biden?

00:06:02.000 He had some... He certainly did.

00:06:04.000 I see where Hunter gets it from!

00:06:06.000 Gets what from?

00:06:08.000 He had some lead in his pencil!

00:06:09.000 Oh, I see.

00:06:10.000 Didn't he?

00:06:12.000 Joe Biden, back in the day... There he is.

00:06:14.000 I don't know, I mean, like, you know... Don't mind if I do!

00:06:20.000 Anyway, listen, you can talk.

00:06:21.000 You're the one that dreamt of Joe Biden, ain't ya?

00:06:22.000 I did, yeah.

00:06:23.000 Tell us about... Martin Luther King had a dream.

00:06:26.000 It was a dream that we'd all learn to get beyond our cultural differences and fight against centralised power, build a better world for the oppressed minorities, recognising that ultimately we all have the same interest, to rise up and confront centralised authority.

00:06:39.000 Gareth had a dream.

00:06:40.000 It was that he was looking after Joe Biden in an old folks home.

00:06:43.000 Did you wash his bottom?

00:06:46.000 No, I didn't.

00:06:47.000 What happened in the dream?

00:06:48.000 No, I don't think we're in the focus.

00:06:49.000 I think because I saw this clip last night when we were Twitter scrolling, as we do around here, and I think it just got into my head.

00:06:55.000 And then I had this dream where Joe Biden was a bit like his ear and he was sat next to me and he lent on me and he put his head on my shoulder.

00:07:04.000 And I turned to my right and Jill Biden was there.

00:07:08.000 Of course she's there.

00:07:09.000 She's always in a six yard. 1.00

00:07:10.000 It's like in London.

00:07:12.000 You're never more than six yards from a rat.

00:07:15.000 You're never more than six yards from Jill Biden.

00:07:17.000 Have a look around you now.

00:07:18.000 She'll be there somewhere.

00:07:20.000 Anyway, like I just remember in my head thinking, surely I've got to say to Jill, it would be so bad if Joe ran again, wouldn't it?

00:07:26.000 Don't make him run again.

00:07:27.000 Don't make him run.

00:07:28.000 And I never got to voice that to Jill.

00:07:30.000 I woke up before it happened.

00:07:30.000 Why?

00:07:30.000 I don't know.

00:07:31.000 Let us know what you think Gareth's unconscious mind is wrestling with in that dream.

00:07:35.000 And also let us know if we should be getting one of those blue ticks on Twitter.

00:07:40.000 Maybe I am the personification of the Democrat Party.

00:07:43.000 Is that what you are?

00:07:44.000 You're its lost ideal?

00:07:46.000 They don't want him to run, but no one's going to tell him.

00:07:47.000 But I'm an emerging independent!

00:07:49.000 Am I that?

00:07:50.000 What unconscious forces... Well, I didn't dream about you, so I don't know.

00:07:53.000 Why aren't I in a dream?

00:07:54.000 What archetypal forces are being expressed through us?

00:07:57.000 What diffuse, divergent, powerful energies are embodied temporarily in human form?

00:08:02.000 These are all questions we'll answer over the course of the show, as well as, shall we get blue ticks on Twitter?

00:08:06.000 Well, there's a poll.

00:08:07.000 Do you want to get a blue tick on Twitter?

00:08:08.000 Is it worth it?

00:08:09.000 10 quid a month, is it?

00:08:11.000 I don't know.

00:08:12.000 We'll let the public decide.

00:08:13.000 You decide.

00:08:13.000 Let us know in the chat and the comments.

00:08:15.000 Join us over on Rumble in a minute when we start talking about vaccine injuries.

00:08:17.000 Before that, though, we've got a lot to talk about.

00:08:20.000 We're talking about gangster globalism.

00:08:23.000 How we've forgotten now that there's a lot of ongoing international racketeering happening, whether it's Bloody the Shakedown, The TikTok are experiencing because ultimately all the things that are coming up in the congressional hearing could be leveled at American social media organizations.

00:08:40.000 It's racketeering I tells you.

00:08:42.000 Also Matt Taibbi, he's going to be on the show soon.

00:08:45.000 Matt Taibbi's like all of a sudden subject to an IRS investigation.

00:08:49.000 It's just weird that these things are happening.

00:08:51.000 It's gangster globalism.

00:08:53.000 That's what I call it.

00:08:54.000 It's intimidating.

00:08:54.000 It's got to be intimidating.

00:08:55.000 It's not a coincidence, is it, that he goes to Congress and then on the same day someone from the IRS turns up at his door and leaves a note on his door.

00:09:03.000 That's apparently what happened.

00:09:04.000 I mean, that is gangster, isn't it?

00:09:06.000 That's creepy. 0.96

00:09:07.000 They could have put a poo through his letterbox.

00:09:09.000 Yes, they didn't do that.

00:09:10.000 That's their version of it, the IRS.

00:09:11.000 The IRS, they don't, we don't do that.

00:09:13.000 That's unhygienic and it's just not tax efficient.

00:09:16.000 But what we do is a simple note on the door.

00:09:18.000 Let's have a look at Joe Biden being gingerly read around a construction site with an ongoing commentary that's required to ensure he doesn't misplace a single Tootsie and end up in one of Gareth's sweet little dreams.

00:09:31.000 Check it out.

00:09:33.000 Down here?

00:09:33.000 Yes, sir.

00:09:34.000 Down the ramp.

00:09:37.000 And we have people lined up on the left over here.

00:09:40.000 Some union leaders and workers.

00:09:42.000 It's like the director's commentary of that visit.

00:09:46.000 Also, we've got some people lined up here.

00:09:48.000 He should be able to work that out, shouldn't he?

00:09:50.000 I think that guy's just gone into the rhythm of explaining everything.

00:09:55.000 I don't want to speculate as to Joe Biden's conjugal activities, presumably with Jill Biden, but do you reckon there's a running commentary there?

00:10:02.000 Do you reckon there's ongoing?

00:10:04.000 That's it, Joe.

00:10:06.000 That's his private life!

00:10:07.000 Exactly.

00:10:08.000 We're not interested in people's private business, are we?

00:10:10.000 Are we?

00:10:11.000 We are, but we won't.

00:10:12.000 But we don't gratify that.

00:10:14.000 We're trying to elevate ourselves onto a higher plane.

00:10:17.000 We're trying to find a divinity in all people, even corrupt people that are avatars of state corruption.

00:10:23.000 Even them, we try to look upon with deep, deep love.

00:10:26.000 Shall we have a look at, no let's just see the rest of it because I like this.

00:10:29.000 Thomas beard on the chat saying uh kama sutra for the elderly. Oh saucy.

00:10:41.000 Your mark is going to be the blue one to the left.

00:10:43.000 How y'all doing?

00:10:45.000 He's not listening, is he?

00:10:47.000 He's not listening to the instructions.

00:10:48.000 He's just been told his mark's going to be the one on the left and he's just gone into how y'all doing.

00:10:53.000 He's wrong.

00:10:53.000 You've got a blue mark and that's okay.

00:10:53.000 Isn't he?

00:10:55.000 I'll say my blue mark and then I'm going to say Lodi 20.

00:10:58.000 Yes sir.

00:10:59.000 Joe Biden get a blue tick on Twitter.

00:11:01.000 Will they buy one?

00:11:02.000 It's become politicised, hasn't it?

00:11:03.000 I can imagine they will.

00:11:04.000 I guess the thing with this is just that there's nothing actually extraordinary that occurs here.

00:11:09.000 I guess what's got to people is that this president who is in charge of, essentially, whether or not we go to World War Three or not, has to be guided around in this manner, told that your mark's there, told that some people are over there that you need to talk to.

00:11:23.000 It seems too much manhandling for someone who's with that amount of power.

00:11:27.000 Kid gloving.

00:11:28.000 Right.

00:11:28.000 Too much cotton wooling.

00:11:30.000 Let's have a look at old previous president Donald Trump.

00:11:34.000 I mean before we get into this actually I just want to mention that over the last hundred shows we've made a lot of important discoveries since show zero.

00:11:43.000 Yes.

00:11:44.000 Well show zero that's the sort of the unmanifestable.

00:11:47.000 You don't make show zero.

00:11:48.000 That's the unmanifest realm from which all shows come.

00:11:51.000 Since Show 101, this is some of the things we've learned.

00:11:53.000 We've learned about the Twitter files.

00:11:54.000 They're an important story for us.

00:11:55.000 That's revealed big tech and state collusion.

00:11:58.000 We've learned about the Nord Stream Pipeline sabotage.

00:12:01.000 Who done that?

00:12:02.000 It's people that support Ukraine have done that.

00:12:06.000 We've learned that both Biden and Trump have got top secret documents lying around their home.

00:12:10.000 But as Trump pointed out, Biden kept them on a garage floor where they could be subject to damp.

00:12:15.000 US military spending is at a record high and a couple of government agencies have said that they believe that COVID originally came from a laboratory in Wuhan.

00:12:25.000 That's just over a hundred shows and I bet we've missed some stuff.

00:12:27.000 What else have we learned in that hundred shows?

00:12:29.000 Not that we're claiming credit for breaking those stories, although we've had some incredible investigative reporting go on, my own and others.

00:12:36.000 We got the first interview exclusive with Seymour Hersh, didn't we?

00:12:39.000 Seymour Hersh, who it was on his sub stack that it was like the Nord Stream Pipeline story

00:12:45.000 was broken, wasn't it?

00:12:47.000 Although the pipe itself broke under the sea and as a result of just some Ukrainian supporters really,

00:12:51.000 but I know I was at home with my mom.

00:12:53.000 Let's have a look at Donald Trump.

00:12:55.000 This is really funny.

00:12:55.000 He's talking about farm taxes.

00:12:58.000 What I like about this, you might have seen it already, but if you haven't, it's an absolute joy.

00:13:01.000 He sort of gets too caught up in what your relationship with your children might be.

00:13:08.000 Like he...

00:13:09.000 One of the things that makes Trump an interesting and engaging orator is his ability to trust himself in the moment and follow tangential threads and see where they may take him.

00:13:20.000 But in this instance, he ends up sort of speculating too deeply on what your relationship with your children might be.

00:13:25.000 It's a weird way to approach a sort of a farmyard death tax.

00:13:30.000 And I made farmers happy and rich again, and they're doing a fantastic job.

00:13:37.000 And you know what?

00:13:39.000 Someday it'll become time for them to leave this beautiful Earth And they'll be able to- Because, like, describing the Earth as beautiful, that's already an unusual choice that he's made.

00:13:51.000 It's just, someday they will die, is all you need at that point.

00:13:53.000 Someday they'll die, like- In fact, even that! 0.96

00:13:55.000 Yeah.

00:13:56.000 Is unnecessary, because that's everyone.

00:13:58.000 We're all gonna die.

00:14:00.000 I still don't really fully agree with it.

00:14:02.000 No.

00:14:02.000 But it is gonna happen.

00:14:03.000 I guess.

00:14:04.000 Leave their farm without taxes to their children.

00:14:10.000 I got rid of the death tax on farms.

00:14:13.000 So that when you do pass away, on the assumption that you love your children, you can leave it to them and they won't have to pay tax.

00:14:22.000 But if you don't love your children so much, and there are some people that don't.

00:14:27.000 Yeah, some people, yeah, they don't love their children.

00:14:30.000 And maybe deservedly so.

00:14:32.000 Maybe their children aren't very nice.

00:14:34.000 It's not about farm tax anymore!

00:14:36.000 We've taken a weird journey with Donald.

00:14:39.000 It won't matter, because frankly, you don't have to leave him anything.

00:14:43.000 Thank you very much.

00:14:43.000 Have fun.

00:14:49.000 It's interesting.

00:14:50.000 There are still a lot of people that are deeply angry about the presidency of Donald Trump, pointing to their perception that he created, caused that, what they believe to be an insurrection on January the 6th and many other issues.

00:15:02.000 But for me, I'd just lean into the fact that when that man talks to a camera, it's engaging and a departure from the typical sanctimony that we see elsewhere with the current White House incumbent.

00:15:14.000 We're going to expand on our idea, if you're still with us on YouTube, that we're living in a sort of state of global gangsterism.

00:15:22.000 And one of the ways that we want to explore that right now is that the current congressional hearing where TikTok are being investigated badly by people who don't understand what Wi-Fi is, on the evidence of some of the stuff we've covered elsewhere this week, is that in banning TikTok, the government would get sweeping powers to crack down on tech Elsewhere, when we say crack down on tech, we don't mean demonopolise, we don't mean control or break up tech, we mean ultimately grant them the ability to censor information that they don't agree with, which has always been their agenda.

00:15:52.000 A bill introduced in the Senate designed to ban the video sharing app TikTok would give the Biden administration sweeping authorities to crack down on transactions between people in the US and countries deemed foreign adversaries related to information and communications technology.

00:16:05.000 Do we have some more stuff on that?

00:16:07.000 You think so?

00:16:08.000 would authorise the Commerce Secretary to take action against transactions between US

00:16:08.000 Yeah.

00:16:12.000 citizens. You've said that. The legislation would designate any foreign government or

00:16:16.000 regime as a foreign adversary. Any of them. They're all adversaries. That's not the wrong 0.98

00:16:22.000 attitude. You'd think so. Everyone's an enemy. Start there.

00:16:25.000 Yeah, let's assume that. What's your name? I don't like you. It's the wrong attitude.

00:16:29.000 Support for the Restrict Act has 21 co-sponsors, including 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats.

00:16:34.000 There you go. So it's trans party. A person who violates the Act could be fined up to a 0.83

00:16:38.000 million dollars.

00:16:39.000 This isn't good legislation.

00:16:40.000 This is more legislation that punishes individuals and favours corporations.

00:16:46.000 20 years in prison.

00:16:48.000 20 years in prison?

00:16:48.000 Yeah.

00:16:49.000 For what?

00:16:50.000 Sharing, well the sharing of potentially information with foreign adversaries.

00:16:56.000 So this comes down again to censorship.

00:16:59.000 So something like what we've just seen with TikTok.

00:17:00.000 Obviously it's inspired by what's going on with TikTok because the issue there is apparently China.

00:17:05.000 But this now is just being opened up to everyone.

00:17:08.000 It's sending a message out there of do not send information around.

00:17:11.000 Do not start relationships with other countries, foreign adversaries or you will get banged up for 20 years.

00:17:18.000 There you go, more global gangsterism.

00:17:20.000 What's Trudeau been up to?

00:17:22.000 It's always worth keeping an eye on Trudeau.

00:17:26.000 You never know when he might turn up in front of a fire truck making outrageous claims.

00:17:30.000 One of the things he's recently done is conflated cynicism around vaccines which is extraordinary in light of

00:17:38.000 the way that that narrative has progressed and the number of admissions

00:17:41.000 that have been made that we can't talk about until we're on rumble. He's conflated

00:17:46.000 cynicism and hesitancy, let's call it, let's use their language, around

00:17:49.000 that medication with flat earthers as they are known.

00:17:57.000 Anti-vaxxers and flat earthers.

00:18:00.000 Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked flat earthers and anti-vaxxers to call for a crackdown on disinformation online.

00:18:06.000 He made the comments during a town hall event in Ottawa last week.

00:18:09.000 Trudeau began by saying the government should find a balance between censorship and free speech to protect people.

00:18:15.000 from disinformation.

00:18:17.000 Would you please, please protect me from disinformation.

00:18:20.000 Don't worry about my health.

00:18:21.000 Don't worry about my poverty.

00:18:23.000 Don't worry about my mental breakdown.

00:18:25.000 Just do not let any disinformation, by which I mean information that could awaken me and cause me to be critical of centralised state power.

00:18:32.000 Don't allow that to happen.

00:18:34.000 Shall we have a look at Justin Trudeau now doing extraordinarily a sort of an informal

00:18:39.000 evening with in front of a fire truck. This is another thing about Justin Trudeau,

00:18:42.000 we all know he likes to get a bit of makeup on, don't we?

00:18:45.000 He likes to get under the spotlight, he likes the smell of the grease paint of a particular hue

00:18:50.000 we have noted, and he also sort of likes to have a little bit of a sing-along. There's

00:18:55.000 nothing wrong with that, being a bit of an entertainer, but what I've noted about

00:18:59.000 many of these, let's call them Davos Stooge type politicians, globalists, neoliberal apologists,

00:19:05.000 is that they use this kind of affability and friendliness to mask authoritarianism, in

00:19:11.000 particular in the case of Trudeau, with his treatment of the Canadian truckers, his attempt to

00:19:16.000 evoke the emergency Powers Act that hadn't been used I think since the Second

00:19:21.000 World War and much of his incendiary rhetoric when describing his own citizens as

00:19:26.000 well as his public admission that he admired China presumably for their

00:19:30.000 ability to let's say organize and manage a population. Let's have a look at

00:19:35.000 Justin having a little bit of fun in front of a fire engine just to see how

00:19:39.000 Canada is governed. I got fascinated with the idea of flat earthers.

00:19:48.000 Now this is an entirely new phenomenon.

00:19:50.000 There wasn't really...

00:19:51.000 Why are they watching like these people?

00:19:53.000 Some of them, like that Clint Eastwood bloke in the left bottom corner,

00:19:57.000 he ain't bothered, is he?

00:19:58.000 That little child, don't give it a toss. 1.00

00:20:00.000 He's bored out of his mind.

00:20:01.000 No one's having a very nice...

00:20:02.000 I don't think they're there by choice.

00:20:04.000 No, I don't.

00:20:04.000 I think they've been corralled into that fire station.

00:20:07.000 I think they came for something else and then Trudeau turned up.

00:20:09.000 What we're going to do is we're going to teach you about fire safety,

00:20:12.000 but first, as a little treat, it's Justin Trudeau with five minutes on flat earthers.

00:20:18.000 Any moment back in recorded history, not the ancient Greeks or the ancient Babylonians or the Incas or whoever else, who actually wondered whether the earth was actually flat or not.

00:20:33.000 Christopher Columbus, they knew the Earth was round.

00:20:35.000 There was no danger he was going to fall off the edge of the world.

00:20:38.000 That wasn't what people worried about when he was setting off to discover the Americas or discover a shortcut to India.

00:20:45.000 Going over well.

00:20:46.000 Clint Eastwood, he's not raised a smile.

00:20:49.000 I mean, if I was, even me, with our ongoing cynicism about Justin Trudeau, I would sort of smile politely.

00:20:57.000 Give him some kind of... Yeah.

00:20:59.000 This is the face I would do.

00:21:02.000 Yeah, Christopher Columbus.

00:21:04.000 Yeah.

00:21:05.000 No, they did.

00:21:05.000 They did, yeah.

00:21:06.000 Like, just even if I disagree with him, out of politeness, but these people, given their due, they are coldly, stone-facedly, almost ignoring Justin.

00:21:16.000 I don't know what they would do differently if he wasn't there, other than perhaps smile congenially at one another.

00:21:22.000 But recently, over the past few years, a whole bunch of people have decided that the world is flat.

00:21:29.000 And they hang out with each other, ...and they find different ways of proving to themselves that the earth is flat.

00:21:35.000 Now that may not seem like a very... ...this event.

00:21:38.000 Come and stand near a fire engine and listen to Justin Trudeau riff on flat earthers.

00:21:44.000 I also feel that the kind of pose of conviviality ought be denied to people in that position when we know the kind of legislation that they pass.

00:21:52.000 the kind of relationships they have with globalist corporations. It's the same sort of resentment I

00:21:56.000 feel when I hear Joe Biden using those sanctimonious yarns about his own family and

00:22:01.000 even, and I'm sorry to say this, family tragedies when you know that when he's in a position of

00:22:05.000 authority and able to make decisions and guide legislation and promote the interests of ordinary

00:22:10.000 Americans, time after time, right now and historically too, they lean into their alliances

00:22:16.000 with corporate interests. They always ultimately back their paymasters. So in a way, even something

00:22:21.000 like this that's sort of quite innocuous on the surface, although visually bizarre because of

00:22:26.000 what the hell is he doing by that fire engine, ultimately becomes kind of offensive. I don't

00:22:32.000 think we should give Justin Trudeau and that fire engine any more time. Later this week, we're going

00:22:36.000 to be talking to Matt Taibbi. He's got the IRS shaking him down because he's attacking establishment

00:22:42.000 interests and yeah.

00:22:45.000 I feel that this too is an indication that if you speak out against establishment authority, they will use their might, much in the manner that we would assume an organised crime family might leverage their particular authority.

00:23:02.000 In fact, this happened in New Jersey, so it's very Sopranos.

00:23:05.000 House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has revealed that Matt Taibbi received an unannounced home visit from an IRS agent.

00:23:10.000 Mr. Taibbi told Mr. Jordan's committee that an IRS agent showed up at his personal residence in New Jersey on March 9th, the same day Taibbi testified before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about what he learned on Twitter.

00:23:24.000 There is power there.

00:23:26.000 In this time of managed decline where we're continually told, even by Joe Biden, that there's nothing he can do about powerful interests, that he's like some kind of David and Goliath figure standing up to entrenched corporate power, it's interesting to note that there There is the ability to organise a response, to manage perception, to do deals, to when required, quantitatively ease financially failing industries.

00:23:53.000 It's extraordinary that this sort of pretence is maintained, that we are subject somehow to cosmological forces that are beyond Everybody's control.

00:24:02.000 If you're watching us on YouTube, we're going to click over to being exclusively on Rumble right now.

00:24:06.000 Remember, in a minute, we're going to be joined by Chris Best from Substack, who's going to be telling us about the importance of free speech and independent journalism, the right that we all have to disagree with one another and how that, in fact, will bring us together against centralised authority.

00:24:20.000 And also, we're going to be talking to you about You know, vaccine injury stuff, which we simply can't talk about on YouTube.

00:24:26.000 This is astonishing.

00:24:27.000 You pay for the development, you overpay for the product, and when it goes wrong, you pay for that.

00:24:31.000 See you later, YouTube.

00:24:34.000 We're going to cover this story on Rumble now.

00:24:37.000 Let's have a look at that story from The Telegraph.

00:24:41.000 Let's have a look at that, please.

00:24:43.000 So, increasing demand for COVID vaccine injury payments has seen the number of staff processing claims increase 20-fold, figures show.

00:24:50.000 The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme has scaled up operations and boosted its administrative staff from 4 to 80 to handle claims.

00:24:57.000 So I suppose that's Yeah, it certainly does.

00:25:04.000 Yeah, I mean, I guess it's worrying.

00:25:07.000 Some of the things that you kind of find from this are pretty worrying.

00:25:09.000 So there's been over 4,000 claims related to the COVID-19 vaccine have been submitted since November 2021.

00:25:17.000 334 of those relate to a claimant who has died.

00:25:21.000 If this is, for me, the worst bit of it, if a person is left severely disabled as a result of receiving certain vaccines, they could be entitled to the one-off payment from the government, which they're debating over how much that should be.

00:25:32.000 Under this, severe disablement means a patient must be at least 60% disabled to qualify.

00:25:37.000 Which sounds... I mean, how are you working that out?

00:25:40.000 And also, why is that the case?

00:25:42.000 I mean, shouldn't it be any percent?

00:25:42.000 60%?

00:25:45.000 You've got to be 60% disabled before that.

00:25:48.000 Yeah, that's an interesting metric to introduce.

00:25:51.000 And I'd say, yeah, it's...

00:25:53.000 Again, there's got to be ongoing logistical gerrymandering in order to minimise these payouts, but I would say the fact that they're staffing up is an indication that they know that the lawsuits are coming.

00:26:04.000 Since January 2020, the UK government was found to be the largest funder of Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, contributing £33 million of UK taxpayers' money.

00:26:17.000 They've overpaid by 1.8 billion for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

00:26:21.000 Oh my god.

00:26:22.000 Sometimes when I'm reading these things out, even though it's been going on for a while, the pandemic is... I remember Bill Hicks used to talk about the Kennedy assassination and that people were sort of tired of hearing, I'll stop going on about the Kennedy assassination.

00:26:33.000 But what the problem is, is that there are certain pivotal moments in cultural and public life that are revelatory the true meaning of the word apocalypse as you know is revelation and the pandemic was a kind of apocalypse because it showed how corporate and state interests converge and

00:26:52.000 How brilliantly the media cooperated in preventing the information that should have been made plain from the beginning.

00:26:59.000 It was kept out of, you know, most of our awareness and consciousness.

00:27:03.000 Deals for doses happened behind closed doors between the EU and pharmaceutical companies.

00:27:06.000 We remember those text messages between... That's right.

00:27:09.000 Albert Baller and that woman at the... Von der Leyen.

00:27:12.000 Do you remember her name?

00:27:13.000 Oh, she's a Von der Leyen. 1.00

00:27:14.000 Ursula von der Leyen.

00:27:15.000 I'd say a villainous moniker from the get-go.

00:27:18.000 A bit like an Austin Powers femme fatale, I'd say. 0.99

00:27:22.000 New variants, international competition and darkness around manufacturing costs have allowed Pfizer and BioNTech and Moderna to increase the bill for European taxpayers.

00:27:29.000 The New York Times report that the European Commission... Aha!

00:27:32.000 President Ursula von der Leyen and Albert Borland had been exchanging text messages leading up to the purchase of 900 million doses of the vaccine worth up to 9.75 billion euros.

00:27:42.000 So that was a deal that was not done publicly, that was not subject to democratic vote.

00:27:46.000 This is why you need independent voices.

00:27:48.000 This is why you need to be able to communicate openly about these sorts of subjects.

00:27:51.000 The fact that WHO guidelines prevent this kind of thing from being openly discussed on YouTube to this day and that we have to tiptoe around subjects like the vaccine industry The vaccine injury, well I don't know, do you want to call it a scandal, shows that still it's something that's subject to considerable censorship and I suppose that's an indicator of what kind of interests are at play.

00:28:13.000 Yeah, I mean just these relationships that you have, like the reason why that one between Baller and von der Leyen and basically doing deals over text messages, that shows the kind of relationships and how kind of casual and how, I don't know, how well those kind of two,

00:28:28.000 where the EU should be basically taking Pfizer to task. They should be saying, you know, do

00:28:33.000 these work? What are the, you know, why are you overcharging by this amount? Whereas

00:28:36.000 rather than that, they're just sending text messages. Yeah, we'll take 900 million doses.

00:28:40.000 Just have another 900 million. It's only 9.75 billion euros.

00:28:44.000 Yeah, it's a little like when our, I'm talking about in the UK, Health Secretary Matt Hancock's

00:28:50.000 WhatsApp messages were revealed, It was shown that he was sort of just casually...

00:28:56.000 Uh, exchanging information with other members of the government saying, no, no, we can't admit to that.

00:29:01.000 It would make us look bad.

00:29:02.000 Oh, let's amp up the fear a bit.

00:29:04.000 It's almost like in so many cases, your worst suspicions are confirmed that the idea that even something that I personally consider to be somewhat ludicrous, like a flat earth conspiracy is something that people will consider entertaining.

00:29:19.000 Although it's very deliberate that Trudeau Attempts to conflate something more ludicrous with something evidently legitimate, like the concerns around the pharmaceutical industry that came to the forefront once more during the pandemic, but have been a concern for many years.

00:29:37.000 It's like a matter of years, a couple of years after the opioid crisis, billions of dollars of out-of-court settlements have been made.

00:29:45.000 The pharmaceutical industry is plainly not one that warrants trust, so an attempt to conflate Anti-vax is a term that's like, you know, had its

00:29:54.000 definition...

00:29:54.000 Well, we know it's changed to mean anti-mandate as well.

00:29:57.000 So even if you're pro-vax but anti- the mandating of that vax,

00:30:00.000 you get labelled anti-vax and therefore in Trudeau's world, the same as a flat earther.

00:30:04.000 I think once you start meddling with the dictionary, it's an indication that we've literally entered Orwellian

00:30:10.000 territory.

00:30:11.000 I don't know, man.

00:30:13.000 Fortunately, we have each other.

00:30:15.000 We have independent news voices like Substack.

00:30:18.000 We'll be talking to Chris Best in a minute.

00:30:22.000 Before that, though, let's have a deeper look Here's the news.

00:30:26.000 congressional hearings where the US government are of course grilling TikTok, making accusations

00:30:34.000 and allegations against TikTok which may well be true, but are certainly equally true as

00:30:40.000 the Twitter files revealed of major American social media organizations.

00:30:47.000 Here's the news.

00:30:48.000 No, here's the effing news. 1.00

00:30:49.000 No, here's the fucking news. 1.00

00:30:50.000 Oh, here's the fucking news. 1.00

00:30:51.000 Oh, no. 1.00

00:30:56.000 TikTok are stealing your data and spying on you!

00:31:00.000 Do you mean like everyone else?

00:31:01.000 Yeah!

00:31:02.000 But they're also Chinese!

00:31:06.000 Today's subject is a particularly good example of how we have been educated by you.

00:31:10.000 Because the last time there was a kangaroo court hearing around the behaviour of big tech giants, we took a misstep thinking, oh, this is good.

00:31:18.000 Facebook are going to be regulated.

00:31:20.000 And then you pointed out in the comments, no, no, no.

00:31:22.000 What's going to happen here is ordinary people will be controlled and blacklisted and observed, surveilled and spied on and banned.

00:31:30.000 This is a trick.

00:31:31.000 You were right back then and I bet you will be right this time.

00:31:34.000 Because apparently what's happening is there are congressional hearings to see if TikTok is spying on us and capturing our data.

00:31:41.000 And of course they bloody well are.

00:31:42.000 But so are all big tech organizations.

00:31:45.000 And did you know that many of the people in Congress that are vocally criticizing TikTok literally accept money from TikTok?

00:31:53.000 TikTok is a very bad thing and should be stopped, right?

00:31:58.000 I like TikTok.

00:31:59.000 Actually, and really, should we just, you know, have a sort of kangaroo court hearing and then say they can carry on but give us a slice of the pie?

00:32:06.000 This is one of those stories that shows you how corruption and criminality within globalist politics is not a bug, it's a feature.

00:32:13.000 It shows you why those Mafia films, particularly The Godfather, are a great window into how American institutional life operates.

00:32:20.000 Nice big tech business you've got there, be a shame if something happened to you.

00:32:23.000 You give us a slice of the action.

00:32:25.000 How many people watching this think that the ultimate result won't be you help us to regulate TikTok, you give us some sort of slice of the action and we'll leave you alone?

00:32:33.000 Is it really going to be an end to corruption?

00:32:36.000 How?

00:32:37.000 Who's the institution that's going to stop corruption? 0.60

00:32:39.000 They're all corrupt themselves.

00:32:41.000 You know that people in Congress own stocks and shares in the big tech companies that they're supposed to regulate.

00:32:47.000 This is another example of that, except of course in this instance, it's from a powerful international rival.

00:32:52.000 So let's learn what's going on in those congressional hearings and the three or four main ways that this is happening.

00:32:59.000 Total hypocrisy, total corruption and how nothing meaningful will get done because the systems that are governing, administrating and judging are totally corrupted.

00:33:10.000 The social media tip-top came under very intense scrutiny yesterday on Capitol Hill.

00:33:15.000 Firstly, it's not Tip Top, it's Tik Tok.

00:33:19.000 In other news, Tik Tok's just basically the same as all social media sites, but the people in charge are Chinese, though.

00:33:25.000 Tik Tok's chief executive was met with intense skepticism on Capitol Hill Thursday over the app's security and privacy practices.

00:33:33.000 We do not trust TikTok will ever embrace American values.

00:33:37.000 Of course they will.

00:33:38.000 If those values are corruption, taking a piece of the action, surveilling ordinary people, banning dissenting voices, you're going to get along just fine.

00:33:46.000 Then stop pretending this is about anything other than, look, if you want to carry on with TikTok and give us some of that data and do our propaganda for us, just like all the other social media companies.

00:33:56.000 ByteDance is not owned or controlled by the Chinese government.

00:34:00.000 Oh, come on, guys!

00:34:02.000 You're suggesting that the government and big tech organizations don't have deep state infiltration, and the people at the state can't control the narrative, and if there were stories that were inconvenient to the government, that you wouldn't stop them or censor them?

00:34:15.000 Are you still talking about China and TikTok?

00:34:17.000 Yeah, why?

00:34:17.000 What did you think we were talking about?

00:34:19.000 Hunter Biden laptop!

00:34:20.000 Twitter files!

00:34:21.000 I mean, I can't even produce enough coughs for the corruption!

00:34:23.000 Has fight to inspire on American citizens.

00:34:27.000 I don't think that spying is the right way to describe it.

00:34:30.000 It's like Edward Snowden, Never Happened.

00:34:32.000 Have you been spying on American citizens? 0.99

00:34:36.000 That is the worst, oh shit, Edward Snowden, thing that's happened in the last few years only. 0.99

00:34:43.000 And if it happened a few years before that, that was because of terrorism. 0.99

00:34:46.000 But doing it now though, that's what really smarts.

00:34:50.000 I don't even like TikTok.

00:34:51.000 TikTok, what do you mean all quick like that, just 30 seconds?

00:34:54.000 It makes me feel old!

00:34:56.000 You damn well know that you cannot protect the data and security of this committee or the 150 million users of your app because it is an extension of the CCP.

00:35:07.000 Also, there's the added advantage that this amplifies tensions between the United States Just in case a proxy war with Russia isn't enough for you to worry about, let's get a proxy war with China started.

00:35:17.000 There's another way of making us all scared, all the bloody time, when probably the truth is that all big tech platforms are by their nature exploitative, all of them engage in surveillance, and even organisations like the CDC, after promising that they wouldn't, Spied on 55 million people in ways they assured you they would not during the pandemic.

00:35:36.000 Once again, there is no legitimate moral platform from which to make these judgments.

00:35:40.000 That's why it sounds crazy.

00:35:42.000 You know that what's likely to come out of something like this is the ability to censor ordinary people more.

00:35:47.000 When what we want is the regulation of the company itself.

00:35:50.000 Their ability to bundle up and sell data.

00:35:53.000 Their ability to cooperate with the state.

00:35:56.000 Presumably TikTok ain't cooperating with the American government in the same way other big tech companies are.

00:36:01.000 What they want is for TikTok to censor on their behalf.

00:36:04.000 The same for all social media platforms.

00:36:05.000 What they should be pushing for is the ability to control the companies themselves.

00:36:10.000 You lot Stop stealing people's data.

00:36:12.000 Stop spying on them.

00:36:13.000 You can see why it's going to break down because they are the partners.

00:36:15.000 What they're trying to do is negotiate a better partnership with TikTok so TikTok are more compliant in spreading their propaganda and preventing independent media, probably like us actually, from using social media sites to convey our message to receive your stories and to create alternative movements.

00:36:31.000 Let me know in the chat in the comments if you agree with that.

00:36:33.000 I have seen no evidence that the I find that actually preposterous.

00:36:39.000 This would only become more obviously propagandist if they started claiming that TikTok was somehow bad for kids and that this whole thing was in order to protect children.

00:36:47.000 The panel also probed what safeguards the app has to shield teens from harmful content.

00:36:52.000 Oh, there you go.

00:36:53.000 TikTok could be designed to minimize the harm.

00:36:58.000 It's clear that the attempts to isolate TikTok from its competitors to treat it differently than dozens of other companies with atrocious records for endangering kids and abusing private data is a pointless exercise.

00:37:15.000 Shouldn't be.

00:37:15.000 But it is.

00:37:16.000 The truth is that if TikTok were to vanish tomorrow, its users would simply flock to any number of other apps that have no qualms about surveilling the most private moments of their lives and amassing, manipulating and selling off sensitive information about them.

00:37:27.000 Congress was handed ample opportunity to address concerns about children's minds being warped by social media more than a year ago, but when Facebook was caught creepily referring to preteen kids as a source of untapped wealth, Congress in response did nothing.

00:37:39.000 So it's not about children.

00:37:40.000 What they have to do is make the conversation about something that any sensible person would think was important in order to get on with their normal business of financial control and psychological domination.

00:37:51.000 So privacy isn't the issue.

00:37:53.000 Why would the government in particular not be interested in privacy?

00:37:56.000 Possibly because they are more likely to spy on you than anybody else and have more power to spy on you than anybody else and necessarily spy on you because they're not going to cater to your demands, requirements or even democratic rights.

00:38:09.000 Records show that the same politicians who've publicly attacked TikTok and voted to restrict its use have also accepted donations from top executives with TikTok and its parent company ByteDance.

00:38:20.000 So that shows that what they say means, well, sort of less than nothing really.

00:38:24.000 TikTok spent over $30 million lobbying the federal government since 2019, according to Open Secrets, including a record $5.4 million last year.

00:38:33.000 ByteDance's spending on lobbying was reportedly the fourth largest among internet companies, behind only Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet.

00:38:41.000 So other people that do exactly what TikTok do is Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta.

00:38:46.000 So do you imagine they have a similar agenda?

00:38:48.000 I mean, doesn't the institutional practice itself tell you what results it's likely to yield?

00:38:54.000 In 2021, Sludge reported that 18 senators or their households owned stock in the tech companies nicknamed Fangam for Facebook, Apple, Netflix and Google, parent company Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft, valued at a minimum of $9.9 million and a maximum of $24.6 million.

00:39:10.000 Three Senators with stock holdings in Big Tech are members of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law.

00:39:16.000 Eight other Senators whose households own shares in Big Tech are members of the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation's Subcommittee on Communications, Media and Broadband, which has jurisdiction over the So you have particular subcommittees with a responsibility for regulation of industries that have members that own stocks and shares in the companies that they're literally supposed to be regulating.

00:39:36.000 Couldn't you, in five seconds, with the stroke of a pen, ban that forever?

00:39:40.000 Every time they try and do something like that, though, of course, at the last minute, they insert a loophole going, oh, it'd be better if we could carry on doing it in some more opaque way.

00:39:47.000 Should we just insert a loophole?

00:39:48.000 And then they, of course, all agree to that, because ultimately they know they're all going to benefit.

00:39:52.000 Its parent company ByteDance is under investigation by the Department of Justice for alleged spying.

00:39:58.000 And the Biden administration has threatened to ban TikTok unless it divests.

00:40:02.000 One of the main claims being made against TikTok is that they're spying on the American public.

00:40:07.000 If you're going to spy on the American public, you better be American. 0.98

00:40:10.000 The U.S.

00:40:11.000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy people's data from third-party companies, Safegraph and Cubic, who are in the business of tracking physical locations.

00:40:23.000 So the CDC have definitely, demonstrably, literally done exactly that.

00:40:29.000 But did they have a good reason?

00:40:30.000 The CDC did this in a bid to check on how citizens were complying with lockdown and other COVID restrictions.

00:40:36.000 One of these companies received $420,000 while the other deal was worth $208,000.

00:40:40.000 The CDC was allowed to buy this data thanks to emergency rules enacted because of the pandemic.

00:40:46.000 But the idea that that emergency was amplified and escalated and utilized in order to bring about new regulation or create opportunities for profit is a conspiracy theory, even if you can literally see those things happening.

00:40:59.000 Don't trust your eyes or your own mind.

00:41:01.000 Trust the government.

00:41:02.000 The data Safegraph and Cubic are able to get hold of and sell comes from apps installed on phones.

00:41:08.000 But that's different from TikTok, because those apps are just, um, they are, well, they're not Chinese!

00:41:13.000 In Safegraph's case, this information covered points like neighborhood patterns, revealing the frequency at which somebody visited a place of interest, as well as where they came to that place from, and where they went from there.

00:41:23.000 That sounds like...

00:41:24.000 Buying, to me.

00:41:26.000 Well, all we did was installed an app on your phone where we observed how you got from a place to another place than where you went after that place.

00:41:33.000 But other than that, you were free to do whatever you wanted to do without us looking at all.

00:41:37.000 What are you doing now?

00:41:38.000 Where are you going? 1.00

00:41:39.000 Get that goddamn data! 0.99

00:41:41.000 Cubic, meanwhile, sold its shelter-in-place index data set, and that reveals for how long a phone is inside a house, expressed in percentages, as well as the time people would spend in another state. 0.99

00:41:51.000 The goal was to assess who was sheltering in place, as the authorities had mandated.

00:41:56.000 Do you remember all the while from that pandemic them telling you that wouldn't happen?

00:41:59.000 Are you listening?

00:42:00.000 That did happen.

00:42:01.000 Are you seeing now that the entire congressional hearing around TikTok is totally hypocritical and will only lead to an ability for the state to propagandize TikTok more efficiently and censor ordinary users of TikTok more efficiently.

00:42:15.000 What it will not lead to is more privacy for you.

00:42:18.000 When they say they're going to protect you, they mean they're going to control you.

00:42:22.000 When they say they care about you, they mean they want to regulate you.

00:42:26.000 When they say they're concerned about TikTok, they just mean they want a slice of the action and the ability to control it like they presumably do all the other big tech companies that they own stocks and shares in while they regulate.

00:42:37.000 All this stuff is palpable and observable.

00:42:39.000 Anyone who tells you this is a conspiracy theory is interested in just some other version of the mainstream.

00:42:46.000 Hey! 0.99

00:42:46.000 That's conspiracy theory! 0.99

00:42:47.000 What we should do, because we're more sensible and academic, is keep stuff basically the same, because we're invested in this system too.

00:42:54.000 These congressional hearings are a facade, a sham.

00:42:57.000 It's beneficial to the state in a number of ways, escalating tensions between the United States and China, creating another platform that they can ultimately control, creating more cynicism and suspicion.

00:43:07.000 suspicion, capturing your data, utilizing it to their own ends, like they've been doing

00:43:10.000 with the other social media companies, like they did during the pandemic, like they said

00:43:14.000 they wouldn't.

00:43:15.000 What's required in order for this to end is real systemic change.

00:43:18.000 And when I say that, of course, sometimes I think about radical ways where the world

00:43:22.000 could be decentralized and there could be tribal, locally organized collectives and

00:43:26.000 all sorts of different ways.

00:43:27.000 But right now, what's not radical is you could ban people in Congress from owning stocks

00:43:32.000 and shares at all.

00:43:33.000 That would mean you'd only have people in Congress that were like, oh wow, I care so much about this, I'm going to give up my right to make money in the stock market.

00:43:41.000 Is that too much to ask?

00:43:42.000 Don't have political parties or Congress people or anyone involved in politics receive lobbying money in any form.

00:43:48.000 That would mean that they would be focused on their bloody job.

00:43:51.000 And do not allow political parties to be privately funded by large corporations.

00:43:55.000 You can make those three laws tomorrow.

00:43:57.000 They won't make those laws because that would mean meaningful change that would empower you.

00:44:01.000 The Republicans won't do it.

00:44:02.000 The Democrats won't do it.

00:44:03.000 Nobody will do it because it would mean meaningful change and change does not suit them, even though it does suit you.

00:44:10.000 But that's just what I think.

00:44:11.000 Let me know what you think in the comments in the chat below.

00:44:12.000 I'll see you in a second.

00:44:13.000 Thank you for choosing Fox News.

00:44:15.000 Good day.

00:44:16.000 No. 1.00

00:44:17.000 Here's the fucking news. 1.00

00:44:19.000 Illuminated Soul enjoying our content. 0.99

00:44:23.000 Look at this, a Einstein University drug company using lawless, unregulated... Oh, the comments are coming thick and fast!

00:44:32.000 I want to focus on the people analysing Gareth's dreams, like Tamara Spencer.

00:44:35.000 Gareth's dream could be expressing his feelings about Biden running again, and that no one seems interested in talking about if that's what's best for him.

00:44:42.000 At his age, I'd want to be enjoying my retirement.

00:44:45.000 Also, Gareth might fancy Joe Biden.

00:44:49.000 Is that what it is?

00:44:49.000 You did that bit, didn't you?

00:44:50.000 How do you even know and how can you prove it, more importantly?

00:44:52.000 What are you going to do, haul me up before a congressional hearing?

00:44:55.000 Get Rand Paul to question me, like look at me over his glasses, like that?

00:44:55.000 I just might.

00:44:59.000 Is that what you're going to do?

00:45:00.000 I'm going to get that Debbie Wasserman Smith. 0.98

00:45:03.000 You won't get a word in edgeways.

00:45:05.000 That's my time!

00:45:06.000 This is my... Let's get Debbie Wasserman Smith. 1.00

00:45:06.000 For a change. 1.00

00:45:11.000 Schultz.

00:45:11.000 Schultz Smith.

00:45:12.000 She'd be really annoyed that you didn't remember her name, I tell you that.

00:45:15.000 Oh, of course she would.

00:45:16.000 We've been asking you as well whether or not you thought I should get a blue tick, you know, on Twitter.

00:45:20.000 Yes, is the answer.

00:45:22.000 As a player, right?

00:45:23.000 We'll get one then.

00:45:24.000 Democracy is as simple as that.

00:45:26.000 You tell us what to do and we do it, whether we agree with you or not, because we trust your judgment.

00:45:31.000 We'll persuade you as best we can, but then we'll hand over to democracy, trusting independent journalism, free and independent voices to guide us.

00:45:40.000 How excited we are on that basis to be talking right now to Chris Best, the CEO and co-founder of Substack.

00:45:48.000 Chris, thanks so much for joining us today.

00:45:50.000 We're very grateful.

00:45:52.000 Thank you for having me.

00:45:53.000 Are you at Substack now?

00:45:56.000 Yes.

00:45:57.000 It's the place.

00:45:58.000 It's a place.

00:45:59.000 It's a building.

00:46:00.000 It's in San Francisco.

00:46:00.000 It's a rainy day.

00:46:02.000 You're doing well, aren't you, over old Substack? 1.00

00:46:04.000 And I've got a few questions that these have been sent to me by Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

00:46:09.000 How much money have you got now compared to when you were a little boy?

00:46:13.000 You're rich, aren't you?

00:46:14.000 How many people are using Substack, whatever the hell that is?

00:46:17.000 What did you think about that congressional hearing, Chris?

00:46:22.000 The TikTok one or the one where they were asking Matt Taibbi about what Substack is?

00:46:26.000 They were both quite funny.

00:46:27.000 Matt Taibbi first, but you can do whatever you want while you're here.

00:46:32.000 Yeah, we love the one where they were asking, is it a website?

00:46:34.000 Is it a Substack? 0.54

00:46:35.000 What is that thing?

00:46:36.000 We had a good laugh about that.

00:46:38.000 Alright wasn't it?

00:46:39.000 The very fact that they don't know, I mean that is very telling isn't it?

00:46:43.000 They're doing a hearing, a congressional hearing, they don't know what Substack is.

00:46:47.000 We're talking to Matt, he's coming on tomorrow and I know that what he feels is like the whole tone of it, It was like really aggressive and condemnatory.

00:46:56.000 It wasn't an investigation.

00:46:57.000 Like they were smearing him and slandering him live.

00:47:01.000 It was appalling really.

00:47:02.000 I suppose that Substack is to a degree about protecting independent voices.

00:47:07.000 You've got Tybee on there, Seymour Hirsch the Pulitzer Prize winner, Alex Berenson.

00:47:12.000 What stories are you most proud of?

00:47:14.000 Some of the Twitter file stuff that actually Matt Tybee shouldn't have put on there.

00:47:17.000 You got in trouble for that didn't you?

00:47:19.000 Was that Berenson?

00:47:20.000 Berenson!

00:47:21.000 Or the Nord Stream Pipeline story that old Seymour Hersh who loves us, he uses our content,

00:47:26.000 Seymour Hersh does, he came on here, he loves our, he watched some of our videos, didn't

00:47:29.000 he, Gal?

00:47:30.000 Didn't he?

00:47:31.000 He did, he liked the Condoleezza Rice video.

00:47:32.000 He sat there like the dad in Frasier, having like, sort of going, hey you, what you wearing 1.00

00:47:37.000 that hat for, you son of a bitch? 1.00

00:47:39.000 And then by the end of it, he loved us. 1.00

00:47:41.000 So tell us what stuff you're most proud of, Chris.

00:47:45.000 I'm proud of the work that people get to do on the platform.

00:47:48.000 We don't get to take any credit for it, right?

00:47:49.000 We don't get to take the credit for Seymour Hersh breaking world-changing stories.

00:47:54.000 We don't get to take the credit for Barry Weiss building a new media institution in the free press.

00:47:59.000 She's covering everything from JK Rowling to You know, she did an interview with Benjamin Netanyahu.

00:48:05.000 It's just crazy, sort of world-changing stuff.

00:48:08.000 And it's very diverse, right?

00:48:10.000 You get Matt Iglesias, who writes Slow Boring, who's sort of like center-left establishment on the spectrum.

00:48:16.000 You know, he's exactly in the mainstream politically, but he's challenging the orthodoxies.

00:48:22.000 He's coming out early against defund the police, all this stuff.

00:48:25.000 You get people saying what they believe on Substack, and I think that matters.

00:48:29.000 I suppose, yeah, we've often said that one of the indicators of the kind of cultural shifts we've experienced is that journalists like Chris Hedges used to be at the New York Times, and indeed Seymour Hersh, and now they are migrating to these kind of spaces as centralised authoritarian institutions increasingly censor and smear dissenting voices.

00:48:48.000 I suppose organisations like ours, Rumble, and like yours, Substack, are gonna, we're gonna have to form alliances of some kind, aren't we?

00:48:57.000 I think this is the right answer.

00:48:58.000 I mean, you talk a lot about the government stepping in and regulating everyone.

00:49:02.000 I say build something better.

00:49:03.000 That's what we can do.

00:49:05.000 Build something better.

00:49:05.000 It's a bit like Build Back Better.

00:49:07.000 It's a bit like Build a Berg Group.

00:49:09.000 It's a bit like Build a Bear.

00:49:11.000 But it's actually cool.

00:49:13.000 Build something better.

00:49:14.000 Yeah, a lot of people, in fact, Daniel Pinchbeck, who writes on Substack, he always cites, I think it's like Buckminster Fuller, who said, like, you shouldn't compete with the atrophying institutions.

00:49:26.000 Simply build new systems and people will migrate organically to them, as is Hopefully happening, although a sort of centralised authority will continually condemn them.

00:49:35.000 That's what tends to happen, isn't it, Gareth?

00:49:37.000 I mean, I just had a quick thought when you were talking about that.

00:49:37.000 Yeah, I guess it is.

00:49:39.000 Was it about Joe Biden kissing him?

00:49:41.000 Him wearing a baby's bonnet and sitting on your lap. 0.96

00:49:41.000 It wasn't that. 0.96

00:49:44.000 Gareth's been dreaming about Joe Biden, but he's also a journalist and he's got some questions.

00:49:48.000 No, I wouldn't claim to be at all.

00:49:49.000 But I was just wondering, do those hearings make you in any way worry about the power of those hearings and Congress and government in its ability to potentially censor Substat, in its potential to make a difference to your business platform and all of that?

00:50:06.000 Does it worry you in any way?

00:50:09.000 This is my favorite joke about that, them not knowing Substack on Twitter.

00:50:13.000 Somebody said, just give them two years and they'll be trying to ban it. 0.76

00:50:16.000 And I think that's true.

00:50:16.000 I mean, I think you get these moral panics where people freak out about whatever the cause du jour is.

00:50:22.000 And the answer is always the same.

00:50:24.000 The answer is always, we need more power.

00:50:25.000 We need to, you know, have the right to regulate and control these things.

00:50:30.000 And I think we have to have a robust idea of free speech and a free press as like a default norm to protect against that.

00:50:38.000 What kind of regulation do you have that would be considered sensible?

00:50:43.000 For even, like, you know, Rumble, they do have, like, guidelines.

00:50:46.000 Don't be racist, don't commit crime, no hate speech, don't be anti-semitic, which is just a form of racism.

00:50:52.000 You know, like, there is regulation.

00:50:53.000 This is a free speech platform and we use that free speech, of course, to attack centralised authority and to provide counter-narratives where necessary, support great journalism, for many of the people that are On your platform, what kind of things, what kind of guidelines do you have so people know that Substack's not just some sort of Wild West gangnam lunatic hole?

00:51:15.000 Wild West Gangland Lunatic Hole.

00:51:17.000 We should make that our new tagline.

00:51:19.000 I mean, we have rules, too.

00:51:20.000 We have a content policy.

00:51:22.000 We don't allow porn.

00:51:22.000 We don't allow spam.

00:51:23.000 We don't allow illegal things.

00:51:26.000 But I think the central ethos of Substack is that the writers and the readers need to be in charge.

00:51:32.000 You're deciding who you want to follow.

00:51:34.000 You're deciding who you want to trust.

00:51:35.000 People should choose their own heroes.

00:51:37.000 And we trust people to make those decisions.

00:51:40.000 We think people should make those decisions by their own lights.

00:51:42.000 And if they make them as their best selves, then we're happy.

00:51:46.000 Hey, you know those trusted flaggers?

00:51:49.000 Matt Taibbi's talking about them.

00:51:50.000 Trusted flaggers, do you know about them?

00:51:53.000 They're going to be trusted to flag stuff.

00:51:55.000 Don't be alarmed by trusted flaggers.

00:51:57.000 They're trusted, after all.

00:51:59.000 But I think that these trusted... Right in the nail!

00:52:03.000 They're only flagging things.

00:52:03.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:52:05.000 It's not like some untrusted flagger.

00:52:07.000 God knows where they'd stick that flagpole. 0.92

00:52:09.000 I suppose that ultimately that's the kind of creep that might lead to regulation and censorship of platforms like ours, because we've actually saw an article about how the EU do have plans to regulate online spaces like Rumble, and I imagine that will ultimately affect Substack.

00:52:25.000 So I guess we're going to need to form alliances, aren't we, to fight against trusted flaggers.

00:52:32.000 Yeah, I think it's not a new thing.

00:52:33.000 I mean, this has always been, you know, the idea of a free press, free speech has always been under assault.

00:52:38.000 Each new generation gets to fight this battle again, learn it the hard way.

00:52:42.000 It's our time.

00:52:43.000 You know, it's exciting.

00:52:45.000 Thank you, Chris Best, for joining us on the show.

00:52:48.000 Chris Best is the CEO of Substack.

00:52:50.000 You can go to Substack whenever you want.

00:52:54.000 Unless you're a Congress person carrying out an investigation, you probably know that already.

00:53:00.000 Chris, thanks for joining us, mate.

00:53:02.000 Thank you for having me.

00:53:03.000 You look right handsome.

00:53:03.000 Lovely to meet you.

00:53:06.000 Hey, we've got Matt Taibbi coming up on the show tomorrow. 0.91

00:53:09.000 He gets called a journalist in some spaces, but he's a tax criminal and a pervert.

00:53:14.000 He didn't know how to respond to you calling him handsome. 0.77

00:53:18.000 Yeah, I know, sometimes I say that to people.

00:53:20.000 Like, fry them off guard, right at the end of a chat.

00:53:22.000 What's wrong with that, to tell people they're handsome?

00:53:24.000 I think it's fine, but he had no comeback for that.

00:53:26.000 He doesn't need a comeback!

00:53:28.000 Embarrassed poor Chris. 0.99

00:53:30.000 I didn't, it's not like I went, Chris, Chris best, best in show, Chris best, kissy kissy, I'd like to stack you on my sub, you son of a gun! 0.95

00:53:40.000 Right, well you just have done that.

00:53:42.000 That was hypothetical.

00:53:44.000 No, it certainly was.

00:53:44.000 Wasn't it?

00:53:45.000 It wasn't a real thing that actually happened in reality.

00:53:47.000 You wouldn't write that on Substack, would you?

00:53:49.000 Would I?

00:53:50.000 I would join Substack right now.

00:53:52.000 I have my own account and I'll use it simply to write fan fiction about Chris Best.

00:53:57.000 Chris and I were meeting at the office in front of that plant, that beautifully kept money plant in the background.

00:54:03.000 How are we going to water it today, Chris Best?

00:54:06.000 Oh my word.

00:54:06.000 What's wrong with that?

00:54:07.000 That's just a man expressing himself.

00:54:09.000 That's one of the lines in the story, actually.

00:54:12.000 Hey! 0.99

00:54:13.000 Oh, he's still there!

00:54:16.000 Sorry about that, Chris.

00:54:17.000 We got carried away.

00:54:18.000 I don't know if you know this about me.

00:54:19.000 I'm quite seriously mentally ill and have managed to turn my mental illness into a type of job.

00:54:26.000 Luckily, occasionally, I channel some home truths to those in power, don't I?

00:54:31.000 It's good, but often though I also channel untrue, mad things at Chris Best, an innocent guest.

00:54:31.000 Certainly do.

00:54:39.000 Chris Best, he's just an innocent guest, I've got a few things to get off of my chest, but Chris Best, I've been blessed with a stack and it's under the water, a submarine, smarter than it ought to be, oh baby!

00:54:53.000 Staring at me through those porthole eyes.

00:54:56.000 Look at those octopi, look at those squid.

00:54:59.000 I'll join you for a couple of quid.

00:55:02.000 On Substack, it's unregulated.

00:55:05.000 Substack, it's fan-generated.

00:55:08.000 If you don't subscribe, how can you complain?

00:55:11.000 I don't prescribe anything for pain.

00:55:13.000 I just face that pain with meditation.

00:55:16.000 We're gonna create a brand new nation, a glorious flag.

00:55:26.000 This is show 101.

00:55:35.000 101 in the mind of Orwell was your worst fears.

00:55:38.000 The worst fear that any of us should have is tyranny, endless surveillance, lack of true freedom.

00:55:45.000 But together We can fight it, baby!

00:55:48.000 We've been fighting it for a hundred shows now, and we're gonna keep fighting it! 0.99

00:55:52.000 We will fight till they nail that fucking lid down on me, baby! 1.00

00:55:56.000 Have a look at those hundred shows! 1.00

00:56:01.000 Yeah, enjoy your life!

00:56:02.000 Enjoy it! 1.00

00:56:03.000 This is your life you're living, you lunatics! 0.98

00:56:05.000 This is Stay Free with Russell Brand, we're streaming live. 0.97

00:56:33.000 Actually you can see that I'm mentally ill.

00:56:39.000 We really worked hard on the set, haven't we?

00:56:41.000 Oh the set's, surely it's best.

00:56:43.000 It's good now.

00:56:44.000 Do you like the set best?

00:56:45.000 Do you like it?

00:56:45.000 Tell us in the chat.

00:56:46.000 Let's not change the colour again.

00:56:47.000 I can't go through with it.

00:56:49.000 It's too much pressure to do more changes.

00:56:54.000 Yeah, a lot of us liked it when James O'Keefe came on, did you know that?

00:56:57.000 Is that why you just burst out into song?

00:57:00.000 To challenge old O'Keefe?

00:57:02.000 Was that what it was?

00:57:03.000 That's what it was.

00:57:05.000 Ever since he came in, Project Veritas, James O'Keefe.

00:57:09.000 thinking if he can be in a musical why can't I? I want to thank some of the regulars over here,

00:57:13.000 Ash Ella, Alex Overton, Human Fly, Dear Sensive Heart 25, all of these people that support us.

00:57:20.000 Bonnie Boo, Bonnie Boo I said I can't believe how good looking they are, I don't know yet if

00:57:25.000 she means me and you or Joe and Jill Biden.

00:57:29.000 It could be either.

00:57:32.000 Primal Collins says he prefers the blue.

00:57:34.000 Peace, love, light.

00:57:35.000 Wowee! 1.00

00:57:36.000 Simply.

00:57:37.000 There's no one commented at all on what just happened before we did that VT then.

00:57:41.000 Encore, $2 tip from Toker Pro.

00:57:44.000 There we go.

00:57:45.000 It's been a great show, Sir Simon Flyer.

00:57:47.000 Yeah, let's make him sing the clap, says Ellen Sophia.

00:57:50.000 Jesus Harold Christ, that was amazing, says CRC AE.

00:57:54.000 Yeah, and then other people are clapping at that.

00:57:58.000 I think someone says, hey, Einstein Universe, poor Katy, lol.

00:58:01.000 I think she might mean Katy Perry.

00:58:03.000 But like, she's surely fully recovered.

00:58:05.000 Ah, CRA, you're a genius.

00:58:06.000 That's good.

00:58:07.000 We need a brand new society, nation.

00:58:09.000 Yeah, bravo.

00:58:10.000 I know people, I'm getting back to that bit now.

00:58:12.000 They're happy about that.

00:58:13.000 They're happy that happened, aren't they?

00:58:14.000 Yeah.

00:58:15.000 Are they?

00:58:16.000 Yeah, they must be, right.

00:58:17.000 Why not?

00:58:17.000 Because that's good to be able to do that.

00:58:19.000 No, I think it's very skillful.

00:58:21.000 It's not bad to be able to do that.

00:58:23.000 No, it was great.

00:58:24.000 I enjoyed it.

00:58:25.000 But it's a type of illness?

00:58:26.000 Yes.

00:58:27.000 What type?

00:58:28.000 The mental type.

00:58:30.000 Manic depression?

00:58:32.000 I don't know, we'll work it out, won't we?

00:58:33.000 But I won't take tablets for it, Gal, I won't.

00:58:35.000 I won't have my light dimmed by the pharmaceutical industry.

00:58:38.000 No, God no.

00:58:39.000 Not them.

00:58:39.000 Not again.

00:58:40.000 No, thank you.

00:58:41.000 We do not trust them.

00:58:43.000 Hey, listen, if you want to join the locals' community and be able to comment directly on the sort of things that go on on this show, if you want to come and join us when we do live recordings, see people like Graham Hancock and Vandana Shiva in live conversation, If you want to come and see our community event, we give away free tickets to join us at Community in the middle of July.

00:59:00.000 We'll post all of this information in the chat.

00:59:03.000 Teams, stay free.

00:59:04.000 That's us in the chat.

00:59:05.000 I think it's Lara that's run of it, one of the people that works here.

00:59:05.000 That's us.

00:59:09.000 If you want meditations for me to do a guided meditation for you, unbelievably, they're quite good.

00:59:09.000 You can just chat to them.

00:59:14.000 I did one the other week with a woman who was bereaved.

00:59:17.000 Well, she was by the time I finished with her.

00:59:18.000 No, I mean, like, she was suffering from a bereavement.

00:59:20.000 Sure.

00:59:21.000 She'd lost her husband.

00:59:22.000 She was called Judy.

00:59:22.000 She lived in Denmark.

00:59:23.000 Her husband, Paul, sadly died.

00:59:25.000 She needed a guided meditation.

00:59:26.000 I'm here to help people with their spiritual development.

00:59:29.000 Yeah.

00:59:30.000 I know.

00:59:30.000 You didn't do the song then, did you?

00:59:30.000 That's what I do.

00:59:32.000 Yeah, she said it was inappropriate.

00:59:34.000 She said I ruined her evening with what she called claptrap. 1.00

00:59:39.000 Claptrap, time wasting.

00:59:40.000 Rhyming claptrap.

00:59:42.000 Rhyming claptrap.

00:59:42.000 Come over here, Dan, and do some different shots.

00:59:45.000 Wander about a bit, express yourself.

00:59:46.000 Look at that.

00:59:46.000 We've got a new camera in here now.

00:59:48.000 It's operated by Dan Camp. 0.94

00:59:49.000 Look at that bloody hell. 0.97

00:59:51.000 Look at the freedom. 0.99

00:59:52.000 Look at me.

00:59:53.000 Hey, how's it going?

00:59:54.000 All right, that's show 101.

00:59:55.000 Nearly done.

00:59:58.000 And the most bizarre show yet, I would offer.

00:59:59.000 Who do you think it is?

00:59:59.000 Is it?

01:00:00.000 I reckon it's up there.

01:00:01.000 Why?

01:00:02.000 What's so bizarre about it?

01:00:03.000 It's up there.

01:00:03.000 That bit where I spoke to Substack?

01:00:05.000 Little bit.

01:00:05.000 Oh, I thought I was nice to Substack.

01:00:07.000 No, you were nice.

01:00:08.000 Do you think I was nice to Substack?

01:00:09.000 Couple of questions, give him a compliment, do a weird song, end of show.

01:00:13.000 What do people want for their subscription fee?

01:00:16.000 Mm-mm.

01:00:17.000 Eh?

01:00:18.000 Hey, so I suppose, what's happening now?

01:00:20.000 Go and talk to Matt Tobey tomorrow, talk to Callie Means the next day.

01:00:24.000 Yep.

01:00:25.000 Go to 12-step meetings.

01:00:26.000 Yes.

01:00:28.000 Deal with things, just deal with reality I suppose.

01:00:30.000 Good.

01:00:31.000 Go home.

01:00:32.000 Alright then, shall we wrap up the show?

01:00:34.000 Yeah.

01:00:35.000 Are you enjoying yourself?

01:00:36.000 This person, Thomas Beard, just says Dalmatians.

01:00:38.000 There's no context for that.

01:00:40.000 101, 101, 101.

01:00:40.000 Thanks, I just thought you were saying it.

01:00:40.000 Oh, Dalmatians.

01:00:44.000 He's free to say it if he wants.

01:00:46.000 That's what Rumble's about.

01:00:47.000 You want to say Dalmatians out of context?

01:00:50.000 Yeah, Thursday, Matt Taibbi.

01:00:52.000 Free Matt Taibbi.

01:00:53.000 Although he's already free in a way.

01:00:54.000 Why do people keep asking for Liam and Noel Gallagher?

01:00:57.000 Imagine the commission on that reunion, getting Oasis back together.

01:01:00.000 It'd be good, wouldn't it?

01:01:03.000 Mission?

01:01:04.000 Why have I got to do it?

01:01:05.000 And can I do it?

01:01:06.000 No.

01:01:07.000 Although I did think that I could achieve a Middle East peace deal if I was trusted to.

01:01:12.000 Yeah, someone's just written 101 Dalmatians on the screen.

01:01:15.000 I really feel like, you know when dreams and reality all merge into one thing?

01:01:19.000 That's happening to me now.

01:01:20.000 Dalmatians, 101 Dalmatians.

01:01:22.000 This might be still part of my Joe Biden dream.

01:01:25.000 All of this.

01:01:26.000 If in a dream, and I ask you this at home as well, if in the middle of a dream you were running away from, I don't know, 101 Dalmatians, say, and someone came up to you in the dream, not Cruella de Vil, you're not going to trust her after what she's done, someone came up to you and went, stop running, it's just a dream, it's just a dream, you in the dream would be unable to respond to that.

01:01:43.000 You know, because it becomes an immersive and total reality, even though it's entirely within your own consciousness.

01:01:49.000 Some people believe that that's what we're experiencing now.

01:01:51.000 And in fact, when you think about it, it's more unlikely that this is the deepest and ultimate level of reality. 0.92

01:01:58.000 That would be ridiculous.

01:01:59.000 We know already there are things called dreams and then things called reality. 0.92

01:02:02.000 The idea that this is the apex and nadir of reality simultaneously is ludicrous.

01:02:08.000 It's plain that there are other dimensions of reality.

01:02:10.000 It's plain that we access them through things like love, solidarity, kindness.

01:02:14.000 These emotions that are difficult to discern and understand.

01:02:16.000 So, um...

01:02:17.000 We're not doing a chat about...

01:02:19.000 Why not?

01:02:19.000 Alternate realities, mate.

01:02:21.000 Alternate realities!

01:02:23.000 That's what I'm talking about, baby.

01:02:24.000 Yeah, it's sad news about Paul O'Grady, Primal Colin.

01:02:27.000 He's a British entertainer in drag.

01:02:30.000 He played Lily Savage.

01:02:32.000 He was pretty funny.

01:02:32.000 I went on that show a couple of times.

01:02:33.000 He was a pretty beautiful person.

01:02:35.000 It's a shame that he's died.

01:02:37.000 He was a pretty beautiful guy.

01:02:38.000 Yeah, brilliant.

01:02:39.000 He was funny, yeah.

01:02:40.000 He was well funny.

01:02:40.000 He really was.

01:02:41.000 Scouser and that, yeah.

01:02:42.000 Let's remember him with love for a moment.

01:02:45.000 Alright, so should we wrap up the show then?

01:02:47.000 Let's do that.

01:02:48.000 Thanks for joining us for our 101st show that appropriately had a beautiful sprinkling of insanity throughout it.

01:02:57.000 But remember, we spoke about independent journalism, we talked about government corruption, we talked about propaganda.

01:03:03.000 These are the themes and ideas that define Stay Free.

01:03:06.000 A belief that individually there is a greatness and a glory within us.

01:03:10.000 That if we access the deeply personal, we will find the universal.

01:03:13.000 That from this deep resource within us all, We can form new systems.

01:03:17.000 Perhaps it's true that we should just create our own institutions, our own democracies.

01:03:22.000 Perhaps we should, as one, reject the systems of the state, reject the systems of corporatism, and form new nations now.

01:03:32.000 New democracies, new alliances, accepting, tolerant, loving, Yet defiant against corruption.

01:03:38.000 That's just one of the things I've learned over the last hundred episodes.

01:03:42.000 Thank you so much for joining us.

01:03:43.000 Do stay with us.

01:03:45.000 Do join us on this great voyage towards truth and freedom.

01:03:49.000 Join us tomorrow when it's show 102.

01:03:50.000 We can't keep celebrating all of them, can we?

01:03:53.000 There ain't 102 Dalmatians, are there?

01:03:56.000 Are there?

01:03:57.000 No, there aren't.

01:03:57.000 I don't think so, if there's no film about them.

01:04:00.000 Alright, join us tomorrow, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
