00:00:28.000We're going to be talking, of course, about the list that never was, something that we could have anticipated.
00:00:35.000In fact, for us, well, I mean, really, from our all history, it's been pretty clear that ultimately there are layers of power that have to remain obfuscated.
00:02:19.000So if you guys want to see my commentary on it, that's fine.
00:02:22.000Prince Andrew is free now to travel abroad.
00:02:27.000And I suppose into this environment, this environment of cynicism, you might call it skepticism or at least acknowledgement and recognition that there are ulterior powers.
00:02:36.000As Tulsi Gabbard said at Turning Point, the deep state is real and seems to have power that goes beyond the reach of elected officials.
00:03:20.000If MAGA wants to take this America first thing back, they got to start looking out for America.
00:03:24.000It doesn't seem like they're doing it.
00:03:25.000Lying to Americans is not America First.
00:03:27.000There is one lie, which is Epstein did not have a blackmail ring on all these very influential people.
00:03:34.000And by saying that that didn't happen, you have to tell a lot of other little lies.
00:03:38.000Every one of them just pulls a little piece of thread away from the fact.
00:03:41.000And we're starting to see right through it now, and it's just embarrassing.
00:03:44.000Are we then a pivotal and radical moment in American politics and American power?
00:03:52.000Certainly media has shifted the dynamics of American politics almost beyond recognition.
00:03:58.000Here, Gavin Newsom says that Joe Rogan personally asked him via text message to reveal how COVID mandates for children ended up being an official policy.
00:04:11.000And this is the very kind of dynamic that would have been unthinkable a matter of years, maybe even a matter of months ago.
00:04:17.000And with Andrew Schultz saying that the left are the real America First Party, are we going through yet another significant and unanticipated transition in American politics and public life?
00:04:29.000Let's have a look at this conversation about Joe Rogan with Gavin Newsom.
00:04:32.000While I'm tended to by Nurse Nikki, yeah, come over here because there's something going very, very wrong with me.
00:04:57.000He won't have me on the show, by the way.
00:04:59.000Who will be held accountable for mandating COVID-19 vaccines for children which were unnecessary and ineffective?
00:05:06.000And who will take responsibility for the unprecedented increases in myocarditis and cancer cases among them?
00:05:14.000Second to that, do you feel any remorse for that draconian decision that was obviously heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical company's desire for maximum profit?
00:05:25.000Yeah, I've signed some of the most progressive laws against big pharma in the country.
00:05:32.000So no one should suggest that it was about doing the bidding of big pharma, quite the contrary.
00:05:37.000California, like many states, Red States included, Florida included, moved forward early in the pandemic, working with the Trump administration and the advisors from the Trump administration to impose dirt and strategies to mitigate the impacts of this novel disease, coronavirus.
00:05:56.000What's interesting about this process is none of us have really reviewed in an objective way.
00:06:01.000It's all through the lens of politics, what we did right and what we did wrong.
00:06:06.000And so I'll answer that question by telling you what I've just tasked.
00:06:10.000I've asked our team to put together an objective review of everything we did right, everything we did wrong.
00:06:19.000We're interviewing people that vehemently disagree with us, that oppose the mask mandates, that oppose the stay-at-home orders, people that are international experts.
00:06:29.000We're stress testing Our entire process could have, shoulda, would have.
00:06:33.000Comparing and contrasting to what other states did.
00:06:36.000I mean, Florida shut down their bars and restaurants before California, before California.
00:06:42.000The question was: when did we start to unwind some of those restrictions?
00:06:46.000California was more restrictive, and we were certainly aggressive at scale.
00:06:51.000As it relates to vaccines, vaccines save lives.
00:06:54.000But Joe asked a very different question about children, and I respect that.
00:06:58.000And that was where there was a lot of feedback with a lot of experts that I had as advisors.
00:07:04.000By the way, I used advisors from two other states.
00:07:07.000We did this West Coast Alliance to review not just what was coming from the federal government, but to have a prism and lens on the recommendations coming from the CDC through our own independent advisors.
00:07:19.000And I took their advice, not as a doctor, but as a governor.
00:07:22.000So with humility, seriously, humility and grace, I've asked them to have that report done.
00:07:30.000And it'll be the only state that I know of that is putting out a truly objective review of what went right and what went wrong.
00:07:38.000And I know everyone's a goddamn genius now in hindsight.
00:07:41.000But at the time, none of us knew what we were up against, including the President of the United States, who I worked very closely with.
00:07:48.000There wasn't a Democratic governor in America that worked closer during the pandemic than I did with Donald Trump.
00:07:56.000Gavin Newsom's getting ahead of it, isn't he?
00:07:57.000Gavin Newsom's positioning himself in new media in a way that indicates that he sees himself as the next leader of that party.
00:08:06.000And with Andrew Schultz saying that the left are providing the real candidates for America first politics, what do you think about this conversation?
00:08:15.000Or do you think that's kind of an outrageous claim by dear Andrew Schultz, who I enjoy and like a great deal?
00:08:21.000Certainly, I think it's worth being radical in our willingness to look at political views that go beyond bipartisanship and tribalism.
00:08:30.000Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
00:08:33.000Everyone's sort of kind of focused on Tucker Carlson's remarks about the Epstein Files.
00:08:37.000And of course, the Epstein Files is, as I say, the mosaic tile that went unpicked, reveals archaeological depths previously unvisited that might show you a deep labyrinth of subterranean corruption.
00:08:50.000That's why people keep going on about it.
00:08:52.000But when Tucker Carlson talks at a turning point about young people not being able to afford homes, I suppose that is a glimpse at an economic future that, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, is pretty undesirable and an indication that politics has taken a turn that where we need to make some pretty radical revisions.
00:09:14.000Let's have a look at Tucker Carlson there at turning point and we'll talk about that together in a minute.
00:09:18.000Biggest house in Europe, like, what is that?
00:09:20.000Just, you know, of course I do have an attendant nurse at all times now because I'm pretty vulnerable.
00:09:26.000Later on in the show, we're going to be talking about the UK justice system and their plan to get rid of jury trials.
00:09:31.000Let me know you think about that in the comments and chat and if you think that's part of a broader plan to implement global imperialist systems everywhere so that power can be consolidated and concentrated in as fewer hands as possible.
00:11:48.000That's a perfectly great thing to do for your kids.
00:11:50.000But most people's parents can't afford to do that because they're already in debt from their pointless college degree.
00:11:57.000Hey, do you see, like, when you watch this, how both sides of the political argument benefit from the cultural war and the distraction that it provides?
00:12:04.000And in a way, whilst I would not want to yield to the idea that economics and materialism are what decides the quality of your life, if you can't get a house or place to live, it's going to be difficult to feel happy and satisfied and content.
00:12:21.000And maybe even as Tucker Carlson suggests, connected to your nation and your national identity.
00:12:26.000Do you think this broadening of the conversation beyond what we would normally see as the accepted conditions of political debate is part of the rise in independent media?
00:12:37.000Here is a conservative social commentator, albeit a unique and very gifted one, at a Republican event pointing out that actually neither the Republican Party or the Democrat Party are providing a cohesive or even sensible vision for the future of their country.
00:12:59.000And that if you go to a corporate city like Tokyo, you're being offered a more favourable alternative and that even GDP, the very metrics by which we measure success are becoming redundant and abstract.
00:13:13.000Do you think that the conversation pivoting in this way?
00:13:16.000And as I said to you before about Tucker Carlson, you'll get commentators from the left citing stuff he's saying about Israeli influence on American politics.
00:13:23.000You'll get people from the libertarian right probably enjoying and highlighting things he's saying here about economics and home ownership.
00:13:32.000Do you think that in a way the categories of left and right are changing?
00:13:37.000And in a way, isn't it obvious that they would?
00:13:39.000Because those categories have come from industrial political positions.
00:13:45.000Socialism and capitalism are based on industrialism.
00:13:49.000And we might be in a, I don't say post-industrial, because that doesn't seem quite right because we still have industry and we're still making stuff.
00:13:54.000But we're not at the point where most people feel we're in the ascendancy when it comes to materialism.
00:14:19.000I think what we're being offered politically and socially has shifted so much and it's become so bewildering.
00:14:25.000We're invited to believe so many things.
00:14:27.000Like one minute, it's post your pronouns in the bio and take the shot and take the vaccine and defund the police.
00:14:34.000And the next minute, all those things are being kind of scribbled out and turned over and deleted and whited out.
00:14:42.000You know, Gavin Newsom's cropping up and Sean Ryan to tell you how anti-big farmer he is.
00:14:46.000But I kind of remember that guy getting paddleboarders arrested during the pandemic, don't you?
00:14:50.000Who are you going to trust in this bewildering climate?
00:14:52.000Are you going to trust that Gavin Newsom is saying that because he means it and has always meant it and is indeed an anti-establishment, anti-corporate, anti-big farmer figure?
00:15:01.000Or is he just positioning himself for political ascendancy?
00:15:04.000Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
00:15:07.000And increasingly, don't you think there's no real requirement for these kind of nationwide political heroes?
00:15:13.000Aren't we sort of ready for a return to a kind of localism?
00:15:16.000Isn't the only way to achieve what Tucker Carlson's aspiring to or lamenting the loss of, a kind of instantiation of a new set of rules and systems?
00:15:29.000I.e., do you think that the current systems and institutions of American power or global power can deliver what Tucker Carlson is talking about?
00:15:46.000And I know that there are certain cable channels who are spending all this time talking about, oh, they're about to elect a socialist in New York City, which obviously I'm opposed to it.
00:16:05.000One of the reasons it's happening is because normal people with normal jobs no longer believe they can win in this system and that all the money is going to the worst people.
00:16:17.000And no one even stops to ask what the hell is going on.
00:16:34.000I'm just suggesting others believe that might have happened.
00:16:38.000He's already threatened to sue me for saying that.
00:16:40.000But there are plenty of people who do do that.
00:16:43.000And I'm not saying even that it should be illegal.
00:16:45.000What I'm saying is that our leadership class should say something about it and should assign a moral value to it.
00:16:52.000And if you're getting rich by loaning money to people at incredibly high interest rates, that's something you're going to have to talk to God about.
00:17:26.000Interesting heckle there because usury is forbidden throughout the Abrahamic faiths and perhaps wisely so.
00:17:33.000In a way, what Tucker Carlson is highlighting is the kind of decay of our ordinary fealties to political systems and parties that just a short while ago, we would have presumed were immutable.
00:17:48.000You can't just advocate endlessly for the Republican Party or the Democrat Party based on what you think those parties' values are because those values change all the time.
00:17:57.000Indeed, someone suggested recently in the wake of this extraordinary post-Epstein-list denial period that the Democrats might become an anti-war party if Trump and Republicans and MAGA are now going to continue to fund Ukraine's unwinnable fight against Russia,
00:18:15.000if we're going to still see increasing conflict in the Middle East, if the United Kingdom are preparing for war against Russia, which would of course be an unwinnable war from a British perspective, and I say that as a somewhat patriotic Englishman, then maybe, maybe the Democrats could repo as the anti-war party of the United States and maybe garner the attention and affection of the world.
00:18:37.000And maybe Gavin Newsom could be swept into power.
00:18:44.000Maybe Mamdani and Bernie Sanders and AOC and these socialist radicals are the future of a peaceful world.
00:18:52.000Well, and I think there are a lot of voters that instinctively cringe at this idea because they do have those memories, right?
00:18:59.000And I've interviewed Congressman RoCanna recently, who's been advocating for the Democratic Party to be the anti-war party.
00:19:09.000He said that the party has become too hawkish, in his opinion.
00:19:13.000Is this an opportunity for Democrats to move more in that direction as you're hearing from Americans that they don't want us?
00:19:21.000I mean, one of the reasons so much of the president's base is frustrated is because they voted for him because they felt that he was the anti-war president, that he made promises That we would not be entangled in foreign conflicts.
00:20:09.000How are we going to keep the war machine rolling?
00:20:11.000How are we going to keep everybody blackmailed?
00:20:14.000One person who will never tire of war is Lindsey Graham.
00:20:18.000He says any day now, Ukraine will be significantly, sufficiently, and superfluously armed by the United States of America.
00:20:26.000We'll be talking about that in a matter of moments.
00:20:27.000But first, here's a message from one of our partners.
00:20:30.000What if your coffee didn't just wake you up, but actually awakened you to new realms of consciousness?
00:20:36.000That's what's being promised by 1775 Peaberry.
00:20:41.000Why are you drinking stinking, jaded, lukewarm, dirty, filthy grey coffee beans when you could be having vibrant, revolutionary coffee like this one?
00:21:33.000I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
00:21:37.000It's grown high in the Bolivian mountains where the air is thin, the vibes are thick, and the beans basically whisper ancient truths to the winds.
00:21:45.000No acidic afterburn, no synthetic weirdness, and none of the lingering shame that tastes like the hotel minibar after a three-day bender with all the snow.
00:21:53.000Hey, I played that guy in a couple of movies.
00:21:58.000But this coffee doesn't leave you hung over in a feather boa or speaking fluent nonsense.
00:22:04.000Just bold, smooth, consciousness activating coffee with clean energy and antioxidants so potent I drank it and remembered three of my past lives.

00:23:57.000In fact, the entire news cycle is a distraction.
00:24:01.000Whatever it is you're into, whatever it is your attention is being glommed onto, make a serious effort to unglom it and focus it onto this.
00:25:36.000Later on in the show, we'll be talking about the UK justice system and its collapse.
00:25:39.000And I want to show you the speech that I gave at Turning Point where I focused also on spiritual decline and a culture that wants you dumb, voided of values and of value.
00:25:51.000We'll be showing you that in a matter of moments.
00:25:54.000Fox News claimed that Trump's been played by Putin.
00:25:58.000In a sense, the kind of claim that the Left side of the centralized legacy media has been making for a while.
00:26:04.000Let me know in the comments and chat if you agree with that.
00:26:07.000Yeah, I think, look, it's clear from what the president himself has said, although he wouldn't put it this way, that he got played by Putin and dragged on for months.
00:26:17.000And he was being jogged along under the impression that Putin had obviously given him that Putin wanted to end the war and was prepared to negotiate from where we are.
00:26:29.000And it's pretty clear now that Putin didn't want to end the war where we are.
00:26:32.000He had more conquest in mind and perhaps wanted his whole original purpose of taking Ukraine to be fulfilled.
00:26:42.000And, you know, I think that's the Ukrainians have held him off.
00:26:47.000And Trump, I think, understandably didn't want to add a lot more weaponry into the equation at the beginning of his term because he thought that would simply escalate the conflict.
00:26:56.000I think he's now changed his mind about that and is prepared to not only add weapons to Ukraine's forces through Europe.
00:27:03.000He's also prepared, it seems, to impose some sanctions that really might make a difference to Russia.
00:27:08.000Secondary sanctions on countries that are buying oil from Russia could be very serious for the Russian economy.
00:27:17.000In a sense, what Tucker Carlson said at Turning Point seems increasingly irrelevant.
00:27:22.000You're offered a very limited window within which to make selections of the cover of the kind of future you want for yourself, your family, for your future.
00:27:31.000I was at Turning Point as well this weekend.
00:27:33.000I talked about the significance of throwing off the mind-melded man-made manacles.
00:27:50.000Hey, Jack, we were just talking about how to organise a political movement.
00:27:53.000Now, I wonder, Jack, how significant the change is from when you are campaigning to get elected to when you are an advocate for a party that's already in government when it comes to shaping policy.
00:28:08.000Whether that's the Maha aspect of this movement or what Charlie Kirk is so devoted to here at Turning Point.
00:28:19.000Because wouldn't you take the, you know, and I don't know if we, how far into it you want to get, wouldn't you take the non-disclosure of the Epstein files as an indication of things get different once you get in government, that the sword of Damocles appears above your head and suddenly you have different challenges?
00:28:34.000That means people in government have a set of challenges that we don't fully understand and aren't fully clear to us.
00:28:39.000How do people that are on the periphery of power, whether that's like you, a significant influencer, or every one of us here, a turning point, participate in?
00:28:46.000How do we ensure that government remains accountable to the ideals that got him elected?
00:28:50.000Well, Russell, thank you so much for the opportunity to answer that question because I was, and I think there's a few others that are here this weekend.
00:28:57.000I was one of those people who was brought in with Pam Bondi and received the binder.
00:29:26.000It's very easy in a sense to be in the opposition because all you can do, you can point and you can complain and you can whine and you can criticize.
00:29:36.000When you're in, now you have the responsibility, but, but I always say that that responsibility must be mitigated by, number one, the promises that were made before you went in.
00:29:48.000If you remember the things that you said, the commitments that you made, if you're not making the commitments and staying true to those commitments, then how are you any better?
00:29:56.000How are you any better than the people that you were previously criticizing and opposing that aren't you just becoming the thing that which you opposed?
00:30:05.000And so what I do believe is when it comes to something like Epstein, when it comes to something like Maha, you have to have those clear objectives.
00:30:13.000And the objective doesn't just mean we're going to get through today's news cycle.
00:30:17.000The objective means that we're meeting our commitments and we're making good on that as we proceed through time to the next election, to the midterms, to the next presidential.
00:30:29.000We need full disclosure and wherever the truth goes, we must follow it.
00:30:34.000I've heard a number of things on that subject from Bill O'Reilly saying that it's really an attempt to ensure that people that may have been affiliated with Epstein aren't tarred by the more nefarious aspects of what Epstein was doing to people claiming that Epstein did not die in that cell and is still alive and at large.
00:30:57.000And my own sort of deep and entrenched biases as a conspiracy theorist lead me to not intuit, just feel.
00:31:06.000And sometimes I have to be careful, Jack, because I start to want certain things to be true.
00:31:10.000Like I kind of want Bill Clinton to be implicated and I want Obama to be, I'd be disappointed if I found out that Bill Clinton's a really nice guy and he's never done anything wrong.
00:31:21.000I'd be like, well, I was looking forward to reading about him being involved in satanic rituals on Epstein Island.
00:31:27.000So I have to be careful of those biases.
00:31:29.000But my sense is that contained within those files is information that is so deep and damaging that it goes beyond the reach of any individual party but that entire system itself.
00:31:43.000How are we who are sitting on the outside of politics, of government, of world affairs, how are we to understand how the American government, the British government, Prince Andrew, all right, Ehud Barak, the prime minister of Israel, how are we to understand how all of these governments and world affairs operate and the decisions that are made?
00:32:09.000But if there are things going on behind the scenes, if there are blackmail operations, we can't possibly understand the true nature of that blackmail.
00:32:22.000Who's got the goods, the receipts on another?
00:32:25.000Why is it that some action is taking place?
00:32:28.000Well, the politician will tell you, well, This is taking place to achieve this, this, and this, when in reality, it's because someone's got pictures, information, or and by the way, one of the biggest pieces that people miss on Epstein that I think is so crucial is what was Epstein?
00:32:46.000He was receiving money from these highly wealthy individuals, and he was pushing the money out into different locations, different accounts, talking about I'm managing your wealth.
00:32:57.000If you need someone, needed someone to run, and I say this as a prior intelligence officer, if you needed someone to send out black funds to be able to fund a black operation, what would you need?
00:33:13.000You'd need someone who understood the art of making money travel throughout the world and go into different pockets without the wider government or without the wider financial agencies seeing this.
00:33:27.000That's exactly the service that Jeffrey Epstein could provide.
00:33:30.000Now, you attach that to whatever went on on this island, whatever went on on these airplanes.
00:33:36.000Suddenly, you've got the makings of an operation that is not just potentially valuable to an intelligence agency.
00:33:44.000It would be valued to every intelligence agency.
00:33:47.000Julian Assange said the reason that the information has not been made explicit is because if it were, it would lose its inherent valuable leverage against the powerful individuals contained.
00:33:57.000If that is the case, and I sort of just generally trust Julian Assange because of everything he's been through, how do you feel as someone that's openly advocated and campaigned for this administration, that's pretty closely connected to this administration, that's publicly backed senior members of the government?
00:34:18.000Do you feel like, oh, well, at least it's better than the Democrats?
00:34:21.000Do you feel that there needs to be significant evolution in the way this country is run?
00:34:25.000Do you think it's an indication that there's a requirement for systemic and institutional change, without which you're going to get some form or rendering of this centralized corruption, regardless of who populates the roles within power?
00:34:43.000I know what it looks like when the government wants to investigate something.
00:34:47.000I saw the way that, and I mentioned this on stage, that the January 6 participants were treated.
00:34:55.000We saw what the government can do when the full force and full scope of the power of the federal government is brought to bear.
00:35:02.000And when they went after the Gen 6ers, people, little old ladies that were waving a flag or praying on the steps of the Capitol, it didn't matter where you were in the country.
00:35:10.000It didn't matter where you were in the world.
00:35:55.000One is how easily infatuated we are and distracted we are by the news cycle, the ever-churning news cycle.
00:36:03.000And I'd not considered that, that when a government is seriously undertaking to resolve a matter, doors get kicked down and people get arrested.
00:36:28.000Okay, so that sort of suggests to me that you, like I do, believe that there is some degree of suppression and distraction taking place with this matter.
00:36:38.000How do you reckon the role of people that are not within government but have been supportive of government changes now that we're in this position and this condition?
00:36:49.000The Maha, I suppose, is the movement that's generally affiliated with health and food of Americans and perhaps you might say in particular, young people, as it pertains to big food and big pharma and big agriculture.
00:37:00.000What type of direction do you think the activism has to take with regard to those issues?
00:37:06.000Because I think in the instance of Maha and the HHS, I think Dr. Roz is fantastic.
00:37:14.000I love Jay Bhattacharya, Mai Makari, Callie and Casey Mean.
00:37:18.000Seems like there's really good people there.
00:37:20.000So what is it that they face that's perhaps a less glamorous and incandescent version of Epstein, but nonetheless represents a nexus of interest?
00:37:30.000What you're talking about, Greg, it's the interests, in this case, hopefully not any blackmail, but corporate interests.
00:37:37.000And at the end of the day, billions upon billions of dollars that have been made off of the backs of the health of the people.
00:38:45.000So when it comes to, and I'll get back to your question, and this is why she's so passionate about it, Tanya, that clearly defined goals and clearly defined objectives are so important.
00:38:58.000And, you know, there's So much that the government is doing on a regular basis, but because it is, you know, it could be a bit boring.
00:39:05.000You're having a meeting, you're releasing some new talking points.
00:39:36.000Jack, if something is as significantly warped as the food that an entire population eats in order to fulfill corporate and commercial edicts, don't the sundry and less significant issues of tribal politics pale into insignificance?
00:39:56.000The example of your wife, food has become toxic and poisonous.
00:40:00.000Yes, we have the example of allergies, but beyond that, we know that we're en masse eating food that's essentially bad for us.
00:40:07.000Aren't we being invited to reframe our entire perspective on politics and become sort of somewhat more radical and dare I venture somewhat more Christian and approach these institutions as if they are kind of corrupt behemoths that have taken control of the spiritual life of our country?
00:40:24.000Well, that's precisely how I view these behemoths.
00:40:26.000That's precisely how they view these institutions that for far long, and perhaps they were set up with the best of intentions, but they say the road to hell is paved with the best intentions.
00:40:37.000That these institutions, which were supposed to be set up to protect people, have actually become, the FDA is a perfect example of this, that have become the ones that actually prey upon people, have become the ones that turn into a revolving door of industry interests coming in with the power now of the federal government to put a stamp on anything and say, yes, this is healthy, or yes, this uses natural products, or yes, this is totally approved.
00:41:06.000In fact, when you start digging through the labels, when you start digging through it.
00:41:10.000If you go back 10 years ago to now, and I always give people this rubric to use, you should use a rubric of where were we 10 years ago to now.
00:41:19.00010 years ago, these conversations were not being had in public.
00:41:23.00010 years ago, a man like Bobby Kennedy was laughed off the stage, was prevented from speaking publicly on so many of these issues by his own party.
00:41:35.000And it was his ability to cross the aisle when he did that with Donald Trump and Donald Trump's openness to bring a scion of the Democrat Party with the most powerful name in Democrat politics, a Kennedy, to put him on stage with the MAGA-Maha alliance that was formed.
00:41:54.000And now what they need to see going forward is the tangible objective interests, making sure that those goals are met.
00:42:11.000But with my military mind, I say, what is what we would call the desired end state?
00:42:17.000What is the commander's desired end state?
00:42:19.000And so once that's laid out, then you work backwards from that end state and figure out what your mile markers are, your milestones, your objectives, your accomplishments along the way.
00:42:31.000And then you make a plan to accomplish them.
00:42:32.000Do you think that's how the deep states operate incontinually, like the desired end state?
00:42:39.000Okay, well, say we're going to do these files, then release something, then distract people, and then it goes on for a while, then the social pressures increase so much.
00:44:10.000If you keep God and Christ as your center, you will be able to face any social pressures because at the end of the day, at the end of all of our days, the final test is what we're all leading forward to.
00:44:22.000My little boys that are sitting down right over there, and I'm getting them ready for their final test as we go through this universe that we go through.
00:44:29.000We will eventually be presented before those gates and we will be brought before the throne and God will say, he'll say to Russell, he'll say to Jack, he'll say to all of us, I gave you these gifts.
00:45:28.000The sword and shield of St. Michael the Archangel.
00:45:31.000When God needed to go into battle, to send his angels into the battle against the forces of hell, the forces of Satan, the angels that turned, one-third of the angelic hosts turned against him, he sent St. Michael into battle to the fore.
00:45:42.000I'm so grateful because I gave this to my friend Joe because that man's mind is a battlefield and his life is a battlefield.
00:45:48.000And I thought like that he would need it more than me.
00:45:50.000But you know, when you give someone something, you think, I don't really want to give this away.
00:46:26.000We can't make this content without the support of our partners is a message from one now.
00:46:29.000Free speech is under attack, Jack, but Rumble refuses to take it lying down.
00:46:34.000Rumble is farting out the fierce cock of authoritarianism and clamping shut the butt cheeks of free speech, baby.
00:46:43.000We've always believed in empowering voices, no matter how unpopular, and now we're taking that fight to the next level.
00:46:48.000When major advertisers conspire to pull their dollary dues, even brands like Dunkin Donuts turn their back, claiming Rumble had a right-wing culture.
00:50:22.000There are more than 75,000 cases waiting to go to trial, the most there's ever been.
00:50:29.000Sir Brian Leveson has been asked to sort it out.
00:50:32.000You've got to go through the whole system and try to improve it, not only so that we no longer have an increasing backlog, but that we can eat into the backlog and reduce it to a level that is acceptable so that trials can take place within a reasonable period of time.
00:51:10.000Let me know in the comments and chat why you think it would be good to pilot schemes where ordinary members of the public are evacuated from the process of justice.
00:51:20.000Remember in the UK at the moment, free speech is becoming increasingly anathema.
00:51:24.000Also remember that protest laws are being introduced that make protesting near impossible and that facial recognition technology is being implemented to the tune of hundreds of thousands of cases every single month with people getting prosecuted.
00:51:38.000And not to say that that doesn't mean that some legit criminals end up incarcerated and that's surely a good thing.
00:51:43.000But primarily what it does is concentrates power in the hands of a few institutions and maybe even a few people.
00:51:49.000He suggested fewer trials with a jury to save time.
00:51:53.000What would save time is fewer trials with jury.
00:51:56.000What would save even more time if we just put everyone in the UK in prison right now, Took all of their money and killed the absolute worst ones.
00:52:02.000Potentially lower prison sentences if the defendant pleads guilty at the first opportunity.
00:52:08.000The government has said it will now go through the recommendations and bring in new laws in the autumn.
00:52:13.000But there are already concerns about a reduction in the use of juries, which have been part of the justice system since the Middle Ages.
00:52:21.000Now when people talk about medieval times and the Middle Ages, it'll be with misty-eyed nostalgia.
00:52:27.000You know, in pulp fiction, when he says, I'm going to get medieval on your ass.
00:52:46.000That is one of the concerns that I have about the review that defendants won't have the opportunity for a trial in front of their peers and that will be in the hands of people who maybe don't have the same level of proximity to the issues as members of the public do.
00:53:06.000Modern trials are taking longer and delays caused by COVID haven't helped.
00:53:11.000The government asked for plans for bold reform and now need to decide which of Sir Brian's plans should pass through Parliament and enter the courts.
00:53:20.000I respect juries and I admire the conscientious way in which they go about their business.
00:53:26.000But it can't be right that all cases, however large or small, necessarily get that treatment.
00:53:34.000As somebody has said, it may be that a jury system is Rolls-Royce, but if there are many cars on the road, the Rolls-Royce isn't moving.
00:53:42.000Hmm, his upper lip was getting a bit too wet during all that.
00:53:45.000I'm not sure we can trust this fella just on the basis of upper lip perspiration.
00:53:50.000Maybe we should give the guy some sort of trial.
00:54:22.000In January 2023, the French government announced it'll be scrapping jury trials for rape cases and all crimes with a maximum sentence of 15 to 20 years, citing a need to clear the backlog and make the court system more efficient.
00:54:34.000Academic papers are even discussing the possibility of replacing jurors with chat GPT-like artificial intelligences, a possibility too horrendous to contemplate.
00:54:43.000Abolishing jury trials is like censorship, surveillance or digital ideas, a lid that fits every pot.
00:54:48.000The report also suggests offering up to 40% reductions in sentencing for early guilty pleas.
00:54:54.000Although this is ultimately a matter for the government or the sentencing council, I would recommend an increase to the maximum reduction for entering a guilty plea to 40% if made at the first available opportunity.
00:55:03.000Combine this with the knowledge you'll be tried by a judge or tribunal rather than a jury, and that's a system directively incentivising pleading guilty, a recipe for a huge increase in convictions.
00:55:14.000Because the aim will always be truth, justice and transparency, not a particular outcome like an increase in convictions or the ability to imprison people.
00:55:25.000But if you can criminalize anyone, you can control everyone.
00:55:31.000If an assumption like the right to free speech can be queried, if suddenly everyone is under continual surveillance and then you even eliminate human intervention via jury from the justice system, you're approaching something like total and totalitarian control.
00:55:46.000Let me know what you think about that in the comments.
00:55:47.000The narrative push for reform of the old justice system is old and the propaganda drive justifying it is even older.
00:55:53.000Articles and reports complaining about the price, unfairness and length of jury trials go back 25 years or more.
00:55:59.000We've literally had years of propaganda bemoaning the low conviction rate for rape and sexual assault.
00:56:04.000We've had years of propaganda saying that alleged victims of rape and sexual assault need to be protected, including suggestions of testifying in secret, not being subject to cross-examination and removing jury trials.
00:56:16.000The intention was to clearly tee up this report or one like it, which claims we should scrap jury trials and incentivize guilty pleas, specifically mentioning sexual assault.
00:56:26.000This is an example of trying to establish what I would call the propaganda of illusory success.
00:56:32.000You create a fake issue from thin air and then claim your reforms have fixed it, generating praise for the scheme in the captive media that camouflages both the actual aims and real harms of the plan.
00:56:43.000It works especially well when tied to identity politics or other emotive issues.
00:56:47.000More broadly, the list of offences for which the report suggests scrapping juries is quite obviously cynically chosen to control the conversation.
00:56:55.000Sexual assault, drunk driving, animal cruelty, child pornography and incest.
00:56:58.000Often when those types of emotive issues are promoted to the forefront of the argument, it is a way of controlling outcomes.
00:57:06.000Do you remember during the pandemic, for example, that in the end, the way of leveraging a lot of people into getting vaccines was you have to do this for your neighborhood, for your grandmother.
00:57:16.000It wasn't based on scientific evidence.
00:57:17.000It was based actually on sociological control and an understanding that most people are pretty well-intentioned.
00:57:23.000And if you think you can do something to prevent someone else from getting sick or harming someone else, in most cases, people will do it.
00:57:29.000It seems like this tendency has been exploited in order to get rid of one of the cornerstones of our whole civilization, actually.
00:57:36.000It's not mentioned in the Leverson report, but a good percentage of the alleged backlog in court cases is due to a huge increase in malicious communications offences.
00:57:44.000Over 12,000 people per year are arrested for social media posts, etc.
00:57:49.000More than double the pre-pandemic numbers.
00:57:52.000Increasing the number and types of criminalized behaviours will inevitably increase the number of criminals.
00:57:56.000Yes, of course, if you create new crimes, you are creating new criminals.
00:58:01.000And 12,000 arrests for malicious content seems high.
00:58:05.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:58:07.000Most of you are flat-out criminals, just one by one parading by.
00:58:12.000And you might say, well, give me a fair trial of a jury.
00:58:14.000The answer to that, if you're in the UK, is absolutely not.
00:58:16.000Prison reform is a major part of the plan for the future, too.
00:58:19.000Since Labour won the election last year, there's been a constant drizzle of prison crisis stories.
00:58:23.000In March, we were warned of a prison system in crisis that could possibly collapse by 2026 if rapid action was not taken.
00:58:30.000The same month, Labour were forced to implement Operation Safeguard to deal with prison overflow.
00:58:34.000Last month, a report claimed overcrowded prisons fuel prisoner violence.
00:58:38.000In September last year, Labour, that's the party of government, publicly released hundreds of criminals early in order to ease overcrowding and make room for newly convicted social media offences.
00:58:51.000Following the incredibly fake riots, they later admitted to releasing dangerous criminals by mistake.
00:59:02.000Also, we can probably expect increased privatisation.
00:59:05.000The UK already has the most private prisons in Europe, with 17 of England's 122 prisons, holding 18% of the prisoners being run privately.
00:59:12.000The first of Labour's four new prisons, HMP Mill Psych, is already complete and is confirmed to be privately run and green.
00:59:20.000In headlines up and down the country, Levison has claimed the measures outlined in his report are needed to prevent the collapse of our criminal justice system, but these measures are the collapse of the criminal justice system and start of a criminal justice system.
00:59:34.000The United Kingdom is implementing facial recognition technology, the criminalization of free speech, the foreclosure almost of the right to protest, all stories that we've covered in recent weeks and now wants to abolish trial by jury.
00:59:48.000And even if the response to an outrage, the likely outrage that will follow this will be, it's only under certain circumstances and for very particular trials, you know that the way that they introduce these measures is incrementally.
01:00:01.000You know that whenever you see a mainstream legacy media news story, it's a kind of testing of the water.
01:00:06.000And you also know that their intention is always maximal control.
01:00:10.000It seems to me that the ultimate desire is to turn the UK into something resembling a prison or an airport where your entire life is modulated and controlled, where you carry a digital ID, where your bank accounts can be frozen at will, where if you're anything other than totally obedient and compliant, you can be criminalised immediately, recognized digitally and jailed without trial.
