Stay Free - Russel Brand - Has he done it? Ukraine Accepts Core Peace Terms — Nobel Prize incoming? - SF655

00:02:51.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brand and Russell trying to bring real journalism to the American people awakening wonders.

00:03:01.000 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:03:04.000 We are live, lost in a whirlwind, 96 Bond in Clyde.

00:03:07.000 Me and my girlfriend, Dave, how's it going?

00:03:09.000 You alright, mate?

00:03:10.000 Doing good.

00:03:11.000 It's nice to see you.

00:03:12.000 It's nice to see you too, Jake.

00:03:14.000 Good to be here.

00:03:15.000 Good to see you both.

00:03:16.000 Hey, okay, now look, there's quite a lot to deal with, but when is there not these days?

00:03:21.000 I mean, we're going to start by talking about the Ukrainian peace deal and whether or not this Ukrainian peace deal.

00:03:29.000 I mean, I actually am uncertain about what to even take seriously in reality in the most general way.

00:03:34.000 Trump says only a few sticking points remain in Ukraine-Russia peace talks as Kiev reportedly backs framework.

00:03:41.000 But even something like a peace deal in a long-ranging conflict seems secondary to a fractured and fragmented media space where every day brings new, baffling, and confusing stories.

00:03:54.000 With most people reaching now into esotericism or conspiracy to try to unpack and understand a world that is, man, it's difficult to understand these days.

00:04:05.000 So we'll be covering that in a little bit.

00:04:07.000 But before that, I've got a few things to tell you.

00:04:09.000 One, turning point.

00:04:10.000 I'm going to go to Turning Point on the 18th of December.

00:04:15.000 Let me know, guys, in the comments and chat what you think about that.

00:04:17.000 Do you think it's the right thing to do?

00:04:19.000 How do you feel about it?

00:04:20.000 Again, it's another one of those stories where if you only pay attention to one particular stream of media, you would get a very particular impression of it, wouldn't you?

00:04:29.000 Like, say, for example, you watched only Candace Owens.

00:04:34.000 What would you think about Turning Point and participating in Turning Point?

00:04:37.000 But then you see something like, I feel like I didn't even watch the clip because I try not to watch too much of this kind of stuff, to tell you the truth, so as I don't go insane.

00:04:43.000 I don't know how you lot cope with it, to be honest.

00:04:45.000 And I saw like Erica Kirk addressing the idea that some people said she was having an affair with JD Vance, right? 0.93

00:04:53.000 And that's the kind of thing, you know, and she just said, well, this is ridiculous. 0.54

00:04:58.000 She sort of saw it as absurd.

00:05:00.000 But I'll tell you what's, you know, and, you know, plainly it is absurd.

00:05:04.000 Plainly absurd.

00:05:06.000 But what is so difficult these days is that we're living in such a fluxy, fluctuating, plastic and mobile space that I just find it hard outside of Christ to know what to believe in.

00:05:22.000 And indeed, one of the few things that gives me comfort, and let me know in the comments and chat if you agree with this, wherever you're watching us, if you're watching us on Rumble or Rumble Premium, and I hope you are because if you subscribe to Rumble Premium, it benefits me financially.

00:05:35.000 And you, let's put you first for a moment, you get additional content from Steve Crowder, you get content from Glenn Greenwald, from all of like Rumble's Premium creators, and you get an ad-free experience over there.

00:05:47.000 We'll be on for a while.

00:05:48.000 And what I want to know from you, Lot, is where are you drawing your faith and your trust from now?

00:05:53.000 What is it you can rely on?

00:05:55.000 Because I suppose I've started to see, I'm reading David Icke's new book, and David Icke is, of course, a divisive figure, but think about the number of times he's been right about stuff and ahead of it.

00:06:07.000 What I get from reading him is like that all of the cultural and political conversations that we have are kind of, you know, fleas on a dog's back or yet another metaphor.

00:06:19.000 You think you're in control of your life, but you don't control your cardiology, your digestive system.

00:06:27.000 You barely control your respiration.

00:06:28.000 I mean, you can voluntarily inhale and exhale, but you don't know what your pulmonary artery is doing right now, do you?

00:06:34.000 And don't you think that the anatomy is the perfect metaphor for how easy it would be to disassociate from the deeper and abiding reality?

00:06:43.000 I.e., isn't it miraculous that science can perform surgery on, for example, My Heart's Son?

00:06:50.000 But isn't it yet more miraculous that hearts exist at all?

00:06:54.000 Let me know what you think about that in the comments and the chat.

00:06:56.000 Over the course of the show, we're going to be talking about the, I went and saw that film Wicked.

00:07:00.000 I've got daughters.

00:07:00.000 I've got a seven-year-old and a nine-year-old daughter.

00:07:02.000 So I went and saw that film Wicked and it's spurred a lot of thoughts in me.

00:07:06.000 Let me know if you've seen that movie and see if you can get on this.

00:07:10.000 Kids that are watching Wicked these days, if they watch Wizard of Oz at all, they'll see it from the perspective of already being told that Alphaba is the goodie and that Dorothy killing Alpha Bar was a kind of inadvertent murder of a good person.

00:07:25.000 And it's so interesting to live in a revisionist time.

00:07:28.000 Again, what's true?

00:07:30.000 What's the source?

00:07:31.000 Is Wizard of Oz the source or is Wicked the source?

00:07:35.000 Is independent media the source or is the prestigious New York Times the source?

00:07:41.000 And aren't you appraised yet of the obvious fact that none of these places, sources, or resources are 100% reliable or probably even 50% reliable?

00:07:54.000 You're right there, Massey.

00:07:55.000 Where are you?

00:07:56.000 In Canada still?

00:07:58.000 Yeah, still in Canada, mate.

00:08:00.000 Go back to England on Saturday.

00:08:02.000 Good.

00:08:03.000 Well, I hope that all works out for you.

00:08:04.000 Joe, I can see where you are, although I was astonished.

00:08:07.000 I feel like I saw our shot that you were possibly smoking, which I know is definitely small.

00:08:14.000 I can see smoke coming horizon.

00:08:17.000 Might be a fire.

00:08:18.000 Could be a fire.

00:08:19.000 Hong Kong is ablaze.

00:08:21.000 Joe's apartment is ablaze.

00:08:23.000 Certainly won't be smoking there because that, I tell you now, is not allowed.

00:08:28.000 Okay, let's have a quick look.

00:08:30.000 I mean, do we care about the Ukraine thing?

00:08:34.000 I mean, I'm not saying, of course we care.

00:08:35.000 People are dying in wars and stuff.

00:08:37.000 But I mean, it's like you sort of update yourself on Ukraine versus Russia 10 minutes later.

00:08:42.000 There never was a war in Ukraine, Russia.

00:08:44.000 It's George Soros just making a bunch of money.

00:08:46.000 Oh, Black Rock were invested in a digital new democracy.

00:08:50.000 Zelensky was an actor.

00:08:51.000 Did you foresee that blob of cocaine falling out of his nose?

00:08:54.000 I mean, like, it's just, in a way, did you see that blob of cocaine falling out of Zelensky's nose?

00:08:59.000 No.

00:08:59.000 I bet Joe saw it.

00:09:00.000 Did you see it, Joe?

00:09:02.000 I haven't seen that, no.

00:09:03.000 It might not.

00:09:03.000 I mean, he was doing like one of his speeches, and he was sort of like shooting it on quite a low, look like he was shooting on an iPad from sort of like down at this kind of angle, and some ink fell out of his nose.

00:09:15.000 Now, it might not have been cocaine, but people already a little bit think that Zelensky is getting his charge from, you know, from the coca leaf, the humble coca leaf.

00:09:27.000 I wouldn't doubt it.

00:09:28.000 And do you know, like, well, do you know, like, did you know that the Zelensky story, our friend Gavin DeBecker, I saw Gavin Debecker describing this on Joe Rogan, that Zelensky was, we all know he was a comedian and an actor, but did you know that he was a comedian in the show?

00:09:43.000 And in the show, a comedian is a sort of stalking horse candidate in a Ukrainian election and then wins the election.

00:09:52.000 And then the name of the fictional party in this actual TV show was something like the people's power.

00:09:59.000 And then while still doing the show, Zelensky registered the name of the party, as did the acolytes around Zelensky, you know, the People's Party or whatever.

00:10:09.000 They registered that name.

00:10:10.000 Then a year after that, backed by an oligarchical Ukrainian figure, he ran for actual president.

00:10:16.000 And what do you know, became president?

00:10:18.000 So again, all of my points today are, where do you, what is your locus of truth and reality?

00:10:27.000 We've said many times on this show before, if you don't have like local relationships, for rectal use only, who's put that on my pen?

00:10:33.000 Is that Rob Sombi?

00:10:34.000 That's a rub special.

00:10:36.000 Of course it is.

00:10:36.000 For rectal use, who would put, what kind of sick recovering meth addict would put for rectal use only?

00:10:42.000 Well, the fact that he went and ordered a whole roll of them, he got them in a bulk.

00:10:47.000 He put bulk.

00:10:48.000 like thinking that's not a one-off joke he thinks that's gonna that's going everywhere yeah Yeah, for sure. 1.00

00:10:53.000 I hope to God he's put one on his own penis. 1.00

00:10:56.000 That's my only hope. 1.00

00:10:57.000 Okay, let's cover this Ukraine peace deal and see if we ourselves are capable with the access to information we have and our awareness, hopefully, of our biases, picking our way through this madness.

00:11:10.000 With awareness of the irony that this statement should elicit, here's Fox News reporting on it.

00:11:16.000 All right, so we are getting an update on the push for peace in Ukraine.

00:11:20.000 A US official is now telling Fox that the Ukrainian side has agreed to a peace deal with some minor details still set to be sorted out.

00:11:27.000 Meanwhile, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll met with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi, Driscoll's office saying, quote, late Monday and throughout Tuesday, Secretary Driscoll and team have been in discussions with the Russian delegation to achieve a lasting peace deal in Ukraine.

00:11:41.000 The talks are going well and we remain optimistic.

00:11:44.000 Very, very optimistic.

00:11:46.000 Yeah, I mean, with the language with that, if it is true and the Ukrainians go forward with it and you throw it back into Putin's lap, what does he do? 0.86

00:11:53.000 Does he accept it or if he rejects it, then what happens?

00:11:55.000 Who cares what that bloke in the jacket feels?

00:11:58.000 Well, you throw that back into Putin's lap.

00:12:00.000 What if his trousers are bunched up and it looks like he's got a heart on under there?

00:12:05.000 What then?

00:12:05.000 And then Putin is embarrassed about that, so we overreact.

00:12:09.000 Like, who cares about the conjecture of these lunatics? 0.53

00:12:11.000 Let me know what you think about that in the comments, would you?

00:12:14.000 Here's Trump's post on Truth Social.

00:12:16.000 Over the past week, my team has made tremendous progress with respect to ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.

00:12:23.000 A war that would never have started if I were president.

00:12:26.000 Last month, 25,000 soldiers died.

00:12:28.000 Horrible, brutal, terrible facts of war.

00:12:30.000 The original 28-point peace plan, which was drafted by the United States, has been fine-tuned with additional input from both sides, and there are only a few remaining points of disagreement.

00:12:38.000 In the hopes of finalizing this peace plan, I've directed my special envoy, Steve Witkoff, to meet with President Putin in Moscow, and at the same time, Secretary of the Army, Dan Driscoll.

00:12:48.000 I mean, I suppose what stares us in the face every time we analyze to the degree we do this type of content is that media is altered forever.

00:12:57.000 Trump was the pioneer of this initially on Twitter, like recognizing that he can directly access his audience and he can tell you in not granular detail, but in broad strokes.

00:13:06.000 Oh, right, so Dan Driscoll is going to be meeting with the Ukrainians.

00:13:09.000 I'll be briefed on all progress made along with VPJD, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War, Pete Hegzev, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

00:13:18.000 I look forward to hopefully meeting with Zelensky and Putin soon, but only when the deal to end this war is final or in its final stages.

00:13:25.000 Thank you for your attention to this very important matter.

00:13:28.000 I love the way he does that sign-off after doing it.

00:13:30.000 And there's all hope that peace can be accomplished as soon as possible.

00:13:35.000 Okay.

00:13:36.000 So it seems to me, like, from the broadest and most superficial perspective, because that's the only one I can offer you, because I'm deep, deep in trying to discover Christ in myself in my own limited and broken way.

00:13:49.000 That what Trump is doing is sort of riding the cascading waves of domestic turmoil by occasionally brokering what seemed to be seismic peace deals like the one in the Middle East.

00:14:02.000 Did that hold?

00:14:03.000 Or like this one?

00:14:04.000 Does that seem what it's like to you guys?

00:14:06.000 How do you feel right now about that way that the ICE stuff is unfolding?

00:14:10.000 Have you watched any of Mamdani doing press, man?

00:14:13.000 Like the world is a truculent and crazy place right now.

00:14:17.000 I mean, he's both likable and extraordinary.

00:14:20.000 Sam Harris, the atheist Buddhist, says that Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for the return of the Israeli hostages taken in October 2023.

00:14:32.000 Let's have a look at Sam Harris's perspective.

00:14:35.000 I think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for having brought the hostages back.

00:14:38.000 I have no problem. 0.98

00:14:39.000 Who gives a fuck about the Nobel Peace Prize? 0.98

00:14:41.000 This is a made-up thing. 0.99

00:14:42.000 Who gives a fuck anymore about things like the Nobel Peace Prize? 0.98

00:14:45.000 It's like made up. 0.94

00:14:46.000 You know, they, I don't know, maybe it's prestigious, but can you get it up anymore for anything?

00:14:50.000 Like, I want a Grammy!

00:14:52.000 I got a Nobel Peace Prize.

00:14:55.000 I got a bonnet.

00:14:56.000 It's like getting excited about finding a dinosaur in your Cheerios.

00:15:00.000 Who cares?

00:15:01.000 Like, the Nobel Peace Prize was set up by the Nobel family after they got some bad blowback, forgive the pun, for their invention and source of their wealth and revenue, dynamite.

00:15:11.000 Nobel are not in the peace business. 0.98

00:15:14.000 They're in the business of blowing shit up. 0.99

00:15:16.000 And when they need it to get some good PIs. 0.99

00:15:19.000 God, would it be too audacious and brazenly hypocritical for us to sort of start a peace prize thing?

00:15:25.000 Oh no, people would surely spot that.

00:15:28.000 No, no, people would hanker after it.

00:15:30.000 People would go, wouldn't it be amazing to get a peace prize?

00:15:32.000 We'll have a ceremony, red velvet chairs. 1.00

00:15:33.000 People love that shit. 1.00

00:15:34.000 No, they're not idiots, are they? 1.00

00:15:36.000 They're not morons so divorced from divine connection that they'll buy into any ball ball you stick in front of them. 1.00

00:15:42.000 I bet you if right now someone could tap me on the shoulder and go, do you know what, Russell? 0.98

00:15:44.000 It's really weird because I did hear that they were talking about you for a Nobel Peace Prize.

00:15:48.000 I'd go, I'd probably start crying.

00:15:52.000 Like, I remember one time, like, early on, my mate, Martino, God rest his eternal soul.

00:15:56.000 Like, when like Sarah Marshall came out or was coming out or something, like, he goes, like, he goes, people are talking about you like as a nominee for a best supporting actor, Oscar.

00:16:07.000 And I was like, yeah, the Oscars are a verifiable and good thing.

00:16:16.000 Like, I remember just like being totally willing to get on board.

00:16:19.000 Like, our willingness to participate in the illusion is an absolute requirement.

00:16:25.000 We'll be talking about COVID and the pandemic period, by the way, a little later.

00:16:29.000 Because it's very difficult if you've vaccinated all your kids to start going, whoa, I just hope that these studies that haven't been done to demonstrate that there's no link between vaccines and autism, I hope these undone studies haven't been undone because there is a link between vaccines and autism.

00:16:47.000 Because I don't want to go through that.

00:16:48.000 I don't want to go through that pain.

00:16:50.000 We are willing participants.

00:16:52.000 We are tent pegs in the great canopy of their illusion, if you want to enter into that metaphor for me.

00:16:58.000 Nevertheless, here's Trump saying that he doesn't like the cover of Time magazine, or at least the picture.

00:17:04.000 Time magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the worst of all time.

00:17:09.000 Caps.

00:17:10.000 They disappeared my hair and then I had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one.

00:17:16.000 Really weird.

00:17:17.000 I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture and deserves to be called out.

00:17:25.000 What are they doing and why?

00:17:28.000 I'm sort of always like with Trump, like caught between how can he care?

00:17:33.000 How can the person that's actually nominally and at least on the surface, as far as we know, the most powerful person in the whole world maybe given the maneuvering in the Supreme Court, the most powerful president in history, how can he care, as he did at the UN when he gave that talk, about the tiles that they used and how he would have used better tiles if they'd awarded his construction company the contracts?

00:17:57.000 How can he care about Time magazine thing?

00:17:59.000 Like, but in a way, on the other hand, it makes me sort of like him because I remember how it felt when The Guardian, when I in the UK, you know, and I recognize my pip squeak fame compared to this sort of mega historical figure, whether you like him or not, you'd have to agree that he's sort of a contemporarily incomparable figure.

00:18:19.000 Like, see, I said no voting.

00:18:22.000 I'd said don't vote.

00:18:24.000 And I, I, and Joe, you me and you wouldn't have known each other then, nor me and you, Massey, but we're all from sort of similar backgrounds, by which I mean sort of I'm assuming, you know, but somewhere between working class and lower middle class backgrounds, essentially where you're you're not vested in the system because you've, you know, because of it for economic and social reasons.

00:18:48.000 And I said at that point, no one votes that I know because they all know it's total bollocks.

00:18:54.000 And it really, really resonated and it got a lot of heat and a lot of attention.

00:18:57.000 And it was like this big rush of fame outside of celebrity fame.

00:19:00.000 It was a different sort of had a different timbre, different quality to it.

00:19:06.000 The newspaper that I would have imagined to be most sympathetic to an autodidactic working class person espousing off the cuff on politics would be the apparently left-wing Guardian. 0.85

00:19:19.000 But when I did a bunch of interviews around it, the one that was most derisory, condemnatory, critical, haughty, and supercilious were The Guardian.

00:19:27.000 They were like sneering, contemptuous.

00:19:29.000 Even though I went with the journalist to like a soup kitchen and did like some sort of, you know, he goes, oh, you know, you care about people, do you?

00:19:36.000 Well, why don't you come to this soup kitchen and where I do stuff?

00:19:38.000 And I'm like, yeah, cool, man.

00:19:39.000 Yeah, I do.

00:19:40.000 I'm like, I believe in this stuff, you know.

00:19:43.000 I'll own it.

00:19:44.000 I'm self-interested.

00:19:45.000 I'm a narcissist. 0.99

00:19:46.000 I'm a performer, all that shit, but there's another track. 0.99

00:19:49.000 That's not all I am. 0.98

00:19:50.000 I really care.

00:19:51.000 I love Jesus.

00:19:52.000 And even before I knew Jesus, it was all there.

00:19:54.000 The love of God, the love of service.

00:19:56.000 I was trying my best.

00:19:56.000 I'm trying my best.

00:19:58.000 Anyway, like when they wrote that article, like they photographed me with like, like sort of like as if I was like this.

00:20:03.000 And this is why we're very careful with our framing.

00:20:05.000 Like they sort of photographed me like that.

00:20:08.000 So like I was like, that was the front cover of the Guardian magazine.

00:20:12.000 And when you photograph someone with space above their head, what you're saying is you're diminishing that person.

00:20:17.000 That's what they do.

00:20:18.000 It's called, that is called semiotics.

00:20:20.000 That's the language of images.

00:20:21.000 Images have certain connotations.

00:20:24.000 Even something innocuous that you look at in your sight line is probably got a bunch of connotations to you.

00:20:29.000 Anyway, like the whole article was very sort of snidey and like it started to really fuel this hatred in me of like the intelligentsia and the professional media class.

00:20:38.000 So I get what he's saying, but I'm just some peripheral marginal cultural figure.

00:20:43.000 He's the president of the United States of America. 0.95

00:20:45.000 So on one hand, I think it's sort of ridiculous.

00:20:47.000 But on the other hand, I think he's like really identifiable and recognizable.

00:20:52.000 I just can't get my head around it.

00:20:54.000 I can't get my head around what he means or what he represents.

00:20:57.000 Even though I read a bunch of content that say he's owned in the same way that you would know that Biden or Harris is owned, he's owned or he's malleable and all that kind of stuff.

00:21:06.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.

00:21:08.000 Let me know where you are on your personal journey of awakening.

00:21:12.000 And let me know when you think the Ukraine ceasefire will happen.

00:21:17.000 And you can use polymarkets.

00:21:19.000 My word, we must have done some kind of deal with these because it's something I have to talk about about every 15 seconds.

00:21:24.000 I wouldn't be surprised if I have to incorporate polymarket into my children's bedtime stories at this rate. 0.97

00:21:29.000 Like polymarket when I'm feeding my dog, I have to go, yeah, Bear, here's a bone.

00:21:35.000 Here, do you want to have a bet on polymarkets with a pig bones better than beef bones? 0.88

00:21:40.000 About every 25 seconds.

00:21:42.000 The US agrees to, like, anyway, like polymarket, what polymarket is, is, you know, you can gamble on anything.

00:21:48.000 Now, I'm a drug addict and an alcoholic.

00:21:50.000 And one of the few addictions I've never had is gambling.

00:21:53.000 And so be really careful. 1.00

00:21:55.000 If you've got addiction issues, watch that shit. 1.00

00:21:56.000 But if you don't, go crazy, man. 1.00

00:21:58.000 This seems to be a good thing.

00:21:59.000 And like, what I suppose they're good at doing is mapping and tracking data points and compiling information in a way that's somewhat reliable.

00:22:07.000 So you could probably use this if, you know, just try not to gamble, guys, because I don't know.

00:22:13.000 I mean, games are chance, vice.

00:22:15.000 It's not good.

00:22:15.000 Have you ever had the gambling addictions, Dave?

00:22:18.000 No, but I have a propensity to it.

00:22:21.000 So I just don't gamble, really.

00:22:23.000 Yeah, like, I bet a joke could get right smashed up on gambling, couldn't you, mate?

00:22:27.000 Yeah.

00:22:28.000 I've got quite into it for a little while, betting on the horses and that when I was drinking. 0.91

00:22:32.000 But I didn't like losing money, so I found it easy to knock you on the head. 0.90

00:22:36.000 That's the good thing. 0.99

00:22:36.000 If you are a drug addict, in the end, you'll sort of say, I need this money for the drugs. 0.99

00:22:40.000 I can't afford to give this away.

00:22:42.000 But if you look at our beloved Dave now, his cheek is full of them kind of nicotine things for people in the South.

00:22:47.000 And I'll mind betting you dollars to donuts in his hand of three of them gambling chips.

00:22:52.000 That's Dave's tell. 0.98

00:22:53.000 That's how we know Dave's crazy.

00:22:55.000 I've been gambling before and then I had the thought, well, I got to win that back.

00:22:59.000 I got to go take out more money.

00:23:02.000 And yeah, it could go bad.

00:23:04.000 Someone explained to me the other day, my mate, he's a former Marine, and you better know I love the military, mate.

00:23:11.000 Oh, God, I love a special ops person, me.

00:23:15.000 I'm gay for special ops, which is a shame because they hate that. 0.98

00:23:20.000 But like, and criminals. 0.97

00:23:22.000 Like, it used to be criminals when I was younger.

00:23:25.000 I've migrated a little bit over to the old special ops.

00:23:28.000 Anyway, there's this Marine that I do jujitsu with.

00:23:32.000 It's kind of jiu-jitsu.

00:23:33.000 We're naked.

00:23:34.000 We're covered in tallow.

00:23:35.000 It was all tallow.

00:23:39.000 It's the actual jiu-jitsu. 0.98

00:23:40.000 Anyway, he says there ain't no point in hedge funds or none of that crap.

00:23:45.000 He goes, the SMP index, am I saying that right, Dave?

00:23:48.000 Like the main index, the American top 500 companies, just invest in that index.

00:23:52.000 Look, here's the facts.

00:23:54.000 The only people that have ever beaten that index over the last 30 or 50 years or something like that is Warren Buffett and an inaccessible hedge fund called something like, I don't know, Helio or something.

00:24:02.000 I don't know.

00:24:03.000 Like it's something that you can't get into anyway.

00:24:05.000 So like maybe the thing is with gambling, unless you're Henry Sugar, who's a rolled doll character, or like you've got, or Biff.

00:24:15.000 Remember Biff out of...

00:24:16.000 No one seems to care about Biff.

00:24:19.000 Am I the only one who cares about Biff?

00:24:22.000 Biff?

00:24:23.000 Hello, McFly.

00:24:25.000 Back to the future.

00:24:26.000 Yeah, back to the future.

00:24:26.000 Back to the future.

00:24:27.000 McFly.

00:24:29.000 I love Biff.

00:24:30.000 And even his goons.

00:24:32.000 I love those guys.

00:24:34.000 And Biff gets that almanac, you know?

00:24:35.000 That's it.

00:24:36.000 But anyway, the youth Polymarket, this is an advert in which I'm doing the opposite of an advert.

00:24:40.000 Go to polymarket.com to trade on the outcomes of live events from politics, pop culture, sports, and more.

00:24:48.000 Get on it.

00:24:49.000 Get on it, you guys.

00:24:50.000 Okay, if you're watching us on YouTube, you adorable people, get off it and click the link in the description.

00:24:56.000 Come over to Rumble and Rumble Premium.

00:25:00.000 Let us know what you think about this.

00:25:02.000 Trump might be firing Kash Patel, a man with whom I briefly shared a booth at the Army versus Navy football game that I briefly attended in Jake's boots.

00:25:13.000 I went there to the Army, Navy football game in Maryland.

00:25:15.000 It was cold that day.

00:25:16.000 It was pretty good.

00:25:17.000 I'd love to go again.

00:25:18.000 I want to go to... I want to go...

00:25:19.000 Like Joe's always telling me, get into American sports.

00:25:22.000 Get into some.

00:25:23.000 Jake's always given me the opportunity to learn more about baseball.

00:25:26.000 Let's get into it.

00:25:27.000 Anyway, I was there and briefly, Kash Patel was in that room.

00:25:30.000 Kash Patel, a few other important people from the government.

00:25:33.000 And now it looks like, oh, Kash Patel could be on his way out.

00:25:37.000 Do you think it's going to happen?

00:25:38.000 Let me know what you think in the comments.

00:25:40.000 Breaking news.

00:25:40.000 Emma is now has just learned that FBI director Kash Patel may be out of a job in the coming months.

00:25:46.000 Three people with knowledge of the situation, say President Trump and his top aides, have grown tired of Patel and the unflattering headlines he's been generating recently, including using a government jet to visit his girlfriend and enlisting a SWAT team as her security detail.

00:26:01.000 Do you think that's true?

00:26:02.000 Would you do it?

00:26:02.000 I'd do it.

00:26:03.000 Like, if someone gave me access to government power, I don't think, I think I'd be reckless with it.

00:26:08.000 Do you think so?

00:26:09.000 I mean, there's nothing, I'll tell you now, if you've not been on a private jet, my God, it's better.

00:26:16.000 I mean, like, I've been poor and I've been rich.

00:26:19.000 And, you know, as you know, rich is better because you can arm's length the stinking filth of poverty.

00:26:25.000 Now, when you're on a private jet, like I was recently, you think, oh, everyone should live like this.

00:26:32.000 It's so beige.

00:26:33.000 It's so cream.

00:26:34.000 It's so delicious.

00:26:35.000 A G4 jet, like, the word is sibaritic.

00:26:38.000 That means excessively fond of luxury.

00:26:40.000 I like to think of myself as a person on a really profound spiritual journey.

00:26:44.000 But like a G4 jet, oh my God, they're so nice, aren't they?

00:26:48.000 What'd you say when we first got on it about Herod?

00:26:51.000 The story of Herod?

00:26:52.000 It's actually about Nero.

00:26:53.000 Thanks for reminding me.

00:26:53.000 It's a good story.

00:26:54.000 Like, Nero, Emperor Nero, who, let's face it, was not a man known for his incredible grace or connection with God.

00:27:01.000 He had this very not primitive, classical air conditioning thing put into his palace, like where there was a kind of a version of air conditioning, but a Roman version of it.

00:27:12.000 So I guess they had air and fans working in some sort of pre-industrial way.

00:27:17.000 And the air vents would like have gold leaf in fine fragments like petals raining down on Nero.

00:27:24.000 It apparently took a long time to get that working because it was a complicated project.

00:27:27.000 Once they got it working, Nero sort of took an inhalation and went, ah, finally I can start living like a human being.

00:27:35.000 And that's how I felt when we were on that G4 jet.

00:27:38.000 And I was like, oh.

00:27:40.000 That's how it's supposed to be when we're flying off to El Salvador to a Bitcoin conference.

00:27:45.000 have been in some sketchy private planes too so it's not just all yeah normally i mean us and chris pavlovsky the ceo we went to see don trump jr in one like you know in indiana jones with all them chickens in the back and like it's like weird leather straps hanging off the roof and like things that look a bit like anibal lecter's mask when they wheel anibal lecter about on that There are things like that everywhere, like over the windows, like weird bits of net, like leather technology, like wicker baskets, that sort of thing you'd find at a Wuhan wet market.

00:28:13.000 Like also like we're pangolin in a box.

00:28:15.000 Like then we've been in other ones, I mean like with our with Stan, like Stan, we get like with Stan's Phenom and King Airplane, like when we sometimes go to DC to do a little bit of graft, a little bit of work, graft, call it what you will.

00:28:28.000 Like one time we took a Hungarian missionary with us, beloved Josh.

00:28:32.000 Now, like if you're on a very small little jet that's like a rickety old thing, there's a little bit of an unspoken rule that you don't use the bathroom on there because you know it'll be like doing the bathroom in someone's pocket.

00:28:43.000 And I Josh went back there and frankly, I'll just, let's just click, let's just call it how it was.

00:28:47.000 He was, if the four of us, he was Ringo, right?

00:28:50.000 He had no business using that bathroom, right?

00:28:53.000 He went back there and done a wee in there and like we were like, whoa, man, what's Josh doing in that bathroom?

00:28:58.000 Like, sounds like he goes, and then when he came out, like, Jake was going and I was like, whoa, what are you doing in there?

00:29:02.000 And he goes, no, I only had a P, I only had a P.

00:29:04.000 And then Stan, the pilot of the plane, sort of like leaned over and went, hey, there's some spray back there if you need it.

00:29:12.000 He blew the lid on Josh, the Hungarian missionary's PFAR, as you were calling it.

00:29:17.000 That's the old PFAR.

00:29:18.000 The old PFAR of Josh.

00:29:20.000 He's out there in Budapest, badgering people into becoming Christian. 1.00

00:29:24.000 That's what he's doing.

00:29:25.000 Badgering them into it.

00:29:26.000 Go on, become a Christian, become a Christian.

00:29:28.000 That's all they've got to do.

00:29:29.000 Now, he's a good guy.

00:29:30.000 Hey, listen, fancy a coffee.

00:29:31.000 Why don't you get blackout coffee?

00:29:33.000 Handcrafted, small batch, fresh roasted coffee.

00:29:37.000 Bit of demonic imagery, on it.

00:29:40.000 Am I on it?

00:29:41.000 I've got to churn on my filters, aren't I?

00:29:43.000 Like, look at this one.

00:29:44.000 Dark roast, blackout coffee.

00:29:47.000 This one, that's going to smash you up.

00:29:49.000 Like, remember the scene in pulp fiction when he's selling drugs?

00:29:52.000 When Eric Stoltz, who played Marty McFly firstly, and they shot scenes famously of Eric Stoltz as Martin McFly.

00:29:59.000 And he didn't have the right thing.

00:30:01.000 But you can see it though, that Michael J. Fox had some sort of quality, some sort of luminous boyishness that without which that film would not have worked.

00:30:10.000 It would not have worked.

00:30:11.000 It's weird, isn't it, when you think about movie stars?

00:30:13.000 What is it they have?

00:30:14.000 Like, say, you know, Tom Cruise, what is it Tom Cruise has?

00:30:18.000 Tom Cruise has a radiant yet manageable sexual allure.

00:30:24.000 That's what I'd call it in Tom Cruise's case.

00:30:26.000 And in the case of Michael J. Fox, he had sort of like just apple line boyishness.

00:30:30.000 Anyway, Eric Stoltz in pulp fiction, when he's the drug dealer, he's the one in the dressing gown, like knocking out smack when Travolta comes around to get gear, goes, like this one, this is going to put you on your up.

00:30:41.000 I mean, I wasn't a heroin addict yet when I was watching that, but I was thinking, I'm going to become a heroin addict. 0.96

00:30:45.000 This looks fucking brilliant. 0.96

00:30:49.000 Not once. 0.97

00:30:51.000 So anyway, this one, this is medium roast.

00:30:53.000 If I see medium on anything, I'm like, get out of my life. 1.00

00:30:57.000 I'm like, this is like, like when we was in Costa Rica, like they, like, someone came round and done like, uh, we own a Costa Rica, like, to, you know, for passport reasons.

00:31:06.000 Anyway, like, went to Costa Rica and, like, we had, like, a personal coffee man.

00:31:10.000 He was like the number one coffee guy in Christian disposal. 0.87

00:31:12.000 Yeah, and it was like it was like, oh, try all these coffees and that.

00:31:16.000 Me and Dave Joe was there as well, and we're all like drug addicts in recovery, so we're just like, which one's the strongest?

00:31:21.000 Oh, and this one, it's like got a fruity taste.

00:31:23.000 Which one's the strongest?

00:31:25.000 Oh, and this one.

00:31:26.000 This one here got a smell of a meadow.

00:31:28.000 Yeah, which one's the stronger?

00:31:30.000 The only question is like everything's about impact and effect.

00:31:33.000 No one cares about some fruity taste.

00:31:35.000 What's that one, man?

00:31:36.000 That sounds dark.

00:31:37.000 Dark! 0.99

00:31:38.000 Black! 1.00

00:31:41.000 Black like the wings of a crow! 0.92

00:31:43.000 Black like the mold on the inside of a coffin! 0.99

00:31:46.000 Black! 1.00

00:31:47.000 This one, this one, this one will kick your ass. 1.00

00:31:50.000 I'd say, have any of you ever done a coffee enema? 1.00

00:31:54.000 Because now's your chance.

00:31:55.000 The car who's done a coffee enema here.

00:31:58.000 Apparently, it's very good for you.

00:32:00.000 Like, coffee straight up the jack, see, straight up the kyber. 1.00

00:32:03.000 Coffee up the ass. 1.00

00:32:04.000 That's what they say. 1.00

00:32:06.000 There they are.

00:32:07.000 The naughty beans.

00:32:09.000 Like, that smells pretty good, you know.

00:32:11.000 Oh, that's good stuff, man.

00:32:13.000 Rob just eats them.

00:32:14.000 Doesn't he eat them?

00:32:15.000 Yeah, probably.

00:32:16.000 Shakes them up like that.

00:32:18.000 Pops him up there.

00:32:19.000 What does he say?

00:32:19.000 Rectal only for rectal use only.

00:32:22.000 Rob just lines them up on top of that like bullets in a mag because I've been now.

00:32:26.000 Nice.

00:32:26.000 I've got a gun now.

00:32:27.000 That's how you load them up down with a thumb.

00:32:31.000 And then Rob, straight up the kyber. 0.98

00:32:34.000 That's all Rob for you.

00:32:35.000 So, anyway, this, if you want some, go.

00:32:37.000 There's a link in the description now.

00:32:39.000 Get yourself a coffee that's so good you'll want to drink it using your bottom as a kind of uh, as a sort of a second mouth.

00:32:47.000 Um okay, so we've covered quite a lot of news there this.

00:32:51.000 When we come back, I'm gonna give you some an analysis about Wicked and and how. 0.79

00:32:55.000 Uh, the Wicked franchise is, in a sense, the perfect moniker for a post-truth world, and what I mean by that is my kids, when they watch Wizard Of Oz, are gonna be like oh, that's that Dorothy bitch that killed Elphaba.

00:33:10.000 Like that, like how are they gonna get their heads around it? 0.89

00:33:13.000 And they try, and then, but think about this, replace Elphaba for Hitler. 0.70

00:33:20.000 And now you got yourself a story baby, you know like, are we gonna live at a time where people start to go well, and indeed people do, people do like well Hitler, you know really, he'd worked out that the markets were going this way and da like. 0.82

00:33:34.000 And then what I like?

00:33:36.000 But you only have to read one account of people going.

00:33:39.000 And then I was taken to Auschwitz and then my dad got killed and I'm like oh, hold on man, this is crazy.

00:33:46.000 And even when people debate the numbers, there was a holocaust guys, there was a holocaust, but this uh, you know they hey, take it to the limit, baby. 0.75

00:33:54.000 We'll be talking about wicked, who's wicked, who's not, and what's not.

00:33:57.000 Before that though, here's a message from one of our partners.

00:34:00.000 Yeah, the Wildness company, Peter McCulloch.

00:34:03.000 These are words that mean reliability baby, if you took those vaccines and regret it, and why wouldn't you?

00:34:09.000 The bloody things are killing people, causing turbo cancers, potentially myocarditis.

00:34:12.000 The government and the media are suppressing information.

00:34:14.000 You know that already.

00:34:15.000 It's a miracle I can even get away with this stuff, isn't it?

00:34:18.000 Well, you might want the Wildness company's spike protein Detox remedy, baby.

00:34:23.000 A new study by Korean doctors.

00:34:25.000 Can we trust them?

00:34:26.000 Korea? 0.70

00:34:26.000 Does that even sound right? 0.70

00:34:27.000 It doesn't sound like a country.

00:34:29.000 It's not a proper country.

00:34:30.000 They're not even a real country anyway. 0.98

00:34:33.000 A new country called Korea has claimed that COVID vaccines raise the risk of six cancers, including lung, titty, and arse pipe.

00:34:41.000 No, that's lung, breast, and prostate.

00:34:44.000 Researchers analyzed, I said analyzed, not analyzed, although how they're getting that prostate info.

00:34:49.000 Health records from more than 8.4 million Korean adults between 2021 and 2023.

00:34:55.000 Their findings were published in Biomarker Research, a respected scientific journal.

00:34:59.000 It's respected.

00:35:01.000 Critics dismiss it with a wave of the hand.

00:35:03.000 But the data raises concerns that spike protein exposure may be tied to long-term health risk.

00:35:08.000 Dr. Peter McCulloch, here he is on my show now.

00:35:10.000 Look at him.

00:36:10.000 Let's get back to our content.

00:36:11.000 Use our code to get a discount, baby.

00:36:14.000 You're never going to get them abs, Jake.

00:36:16.000 You're speaking that over my life.

00:36:17.000 Don't you do it.

00:36:20.000 See this.

00:36:21.000 Let's sell out my six little puppies. 0.88

00:36:24.000 I just put you through it like I'm just, I can't really see them anymore.

00:36:27.000 I feel like the definition's gone.

00:36:30.000 Definition's gone away a little bit.

00:36:32.000 They're more powerful than ever, the abs.

00:36:35.000 Right, coming in.

00:36:36.000 Let's do a little bit of cultural analysis.

00:36:38.000 We should sort of think should have a jingle form.

00:36:41.000 All right, so Wicked.

00:36:43.000 Look, let's face it, if ever you see the black English lass and the lass off kids telly promoting this film, it's pretty hard not to feel like something's off-key about it all. 0.92

00:36:55.000 But the film itself is pretty good. 0.99

00:36:58.000 I like, you know, like if you have to go and watch something with your kids, you know, oh man, this is going to be shit. 0.98

00:37:03.000 And then it's not. 0.94

00:37:04.000 It's always a relief to watch us analyze, scrutinize Wicked, and employ it not only to look at cinematic history, post-structuralism, and post-modernity, but also how there's a continual reframing of public figures and even the idea of goodness itself.

00:37:20.000 Click the link in the description, get off YouTube, get over here.

00:37:23.000 We're going to be doing that right now.

00:37:26.000 Couldn't be happier.

00:37:29.000 It's more important than ever that you lift everyone's spirits as only you can.

00:37:40.000 Does that do what I think it does?

00:37:44.000 No.

00:37:46.000 No way.

00:37:49.000 I'm obsessed.

00:37:52.000 The wand really sells it.

00:37:54.000 Because happy is the hardlander.

00:37:57.000 The good in my dreams.

00:38:04.000 Now, Wizard of Oz is obviously a potent cultural artifact that stood the test of time and reaches people deep down.

00:38:12.000 In a way, I think of it like the Titanic.

00:38:15.000 Firstly, there was the Titanic itself, this hubristic vessel named ludicrously the unsinkable, which duly sunk.

00:38:22.000 And by the way, I'm aware of all that sort of cultural and political and economic analysis that says that J.P. Morgan invested in it and then they sat with the Federal Reserve the next year and all of that kind of stuff.

00:38:31.000 But I'm talking about from a mythic perspective, firstly, it represented human power versus the power of nature and human hubris, I suppose.

00:38:41.000 Then the movie comes out.

00:38:43.000 It's like the world's best movie and the biggest movie.

00:38:46.000 And then they tried to send down that little submarine to have a little look at it and it blew up.

00:38:50.000 It's like the Titanic contains deep mythic power.

00:38:54.000 And somehow whoever wrote The Wizard of Oz, what's he called?

00:38:57.000 Frank Buchanan, I can't remember his name.

00:38:59.000 Whoever wrote that original story was working in the mathematics and language of archetypes in the same way that George Lucas was a big fan of Joseph Campbell and understood fairy tale and folktale logic in his creation of his brilliant characters.

00:39:16.000 Because as other comedians have pointed out, there's stuff in Star Wars from a dialogue perspective that's rubbish, you know, talking about famously like Harrison Ford.

00:39:24.000 So you can't say these lines, they're boring, you know.

00:39:26.000 Oh no, they're like a bunch of numbers and crap like that and numerous characters saying, I've got a bad feeling about this rather than it being a catchphrase of one individual character.

00:39:36.000 Well, wicked, I think at the moment is being used, and this is what I'd like to ask all you lot about, to kind of tell the story of corruption from a pretty obvious and rudimentary perspective,

00:39:52.000 i.e. the character of Oz, the all-powerful Oz, is a weak and fragile man who has the levers of power, but has no real actual power himself, and his power is an illusion.

00:40:07.000 In this part of the story, all of the animals of Oz are being cast out.

00:40:13.000 And it's, I feel like, and I'm projecting this, I guess, that the cast and filmmakers would very much feel that they're participating in a commentary of modern contemporary American politics, i.e. ICE raids and the subject of migration more broadly and American nationalism.

00:40:32.000 They might not have thought that.

00:40:34.000 I just guess, you know, if you imagine the people that made the film Wicked, the production staff, the director, the people at the studio, is it universal?

00:40:42.000 I don't know.

00:40:43.000 Do you think all those people really love Trump and JD Vance?

00:40:46.000 I'm guessing probably not.

00:40:48.000 Do you imagine they're the kind of people that would go to a Kamala Harris fundraiser?

00:40:52.000 I reckon they probably would.

00:40:54.000 Maybe kind of like AAOC and Gavin Newsom.

00:40:57.000 I think it's fair, let me know in the comments and chat, to assume that.

00:41:00.000 Therefore, I suppose that when they're making the film Wicked, they're probably making it somewhat as a commentary on American, on contemporary American social and political life.

00:41:11.000 But I'm saying that Wicked is deeper than that and better than that, as any archetype or mythic film or artifact will be.

00:41:20.000 Because if you were to allow it simply to be a bipartisan commentary on one aspect of American political power, i.e. a critique and condemnation of MAGA republicanism,

00:41:32.000 how do you tarry that or tally that with the idea of what took place during the COVID pandemic where all of us were invited to enter into an illusion and were completely deceived because of the power of the media and the state because of the way they lied to us and treated us.

00:41:51.000 So in short, what I'm saying is, and in fact it's a theme that we've been talking about all the way through this show, is we're living in such a peculiar time with so much competing information that the only truth that's relevant are the profoundest truths of all.

00:42:05.000 And as a Christian, obviously for me, that's the gospel.

00:42:09.000 That God so loved the world, he gave his only son that whoever believes in him would not perish but know eternal life.

00:42:15.000 That if you can't find a way to access that truth in yourself, you're going to live in forms of illusion.

00:42:22.000 You will be double-minded, tossed on the waves of perpetually shifting cultural tides.

00:42:27.000 Let me know what you think in the comments on and the chat.

00:42:31.000 And let me know what you guys think about what I'm saying so far because we're going into like a bunch of other assets around other great films like Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and you know, and other films that have repositioned baddies as goodies, which is a sort of a common trend.

00:42:46.000 I see it happen with that Cruella movie.

00:42:49.000 It happened with The Joker, you know, so it's not even a left versus right thing.

00:42:54.000 It's the idea of shifting perspectives.

00:42:56.000 And that's that comes from sort of post-structuralisms and that sort of philosophical and political era where people start saying, well, maybe what if, you know, if you start pulling that thread, like maybe the people we think are good are bad and the people we think are bad are good.

00:43:12.000 Like, you know, oh, Martin Luther King was a womanizer.

00:43:15.000 Oh, Hitler was trying his best. 0.99

00:43:17.000 Like, you know, if you start sort of like, we enter into a very difficult space to navigate.

00:43:23.000 And certainly, I would say a space in which it's impossible to have a monoculture.

00:43:29.000 And a nation is a kind of monoculture.

00:43:32.000 That's what you're saying.

00:43:33.000 Is we're all Americans.

00:43:35.000 Now, beautifully, when you lot are under pressure and under attack, like any family, maybe you can come together.

00:43:41.000 But now, this is a time of internal combustion and internal division and internal fracture.

00:43:46.000 And a film like Wicked, I think, and the various interpretations that are available for a film like Wicked tell you a lot about where America is right now in the same way that Marjorie Taylor Greene leaving and Kash Patel maybe getting sacked and people sort of revising their opinions and perspectives on Trump does.

00:44:02.000 And that's what I want to talk about.

00:44:04.000 Who's got something to say to me on that subject?

00:44:07.000 I'm trying to read your faces, but I'm like an autistic person.

00:44:10.000 You know, like wherever autistic kids, you have to go, that's a happy person is when it's an upside-down sea. 1.00

00:44:15.000 Oh, that's happy, is it?

00:44:17.000 So tell me who wants to jump into the ship, Jake Smith.

00:44:21.000 You've got the American flag behind you.

00:44:23.000 Yeah, I mean, I think that's been going on for a while.

00:44:25.000 Redefining what's good, making bad thing.

00:44:28.000 Oh, well, you just missed the perspective.

00:44:31.000 They had a hard upbringing.

00:44:32.000 That's why they become bad.

00:44:34.000 You do kind of miss even back in the day in wars, whereas like good guys and bad guys.

00:44:40.000 Yeah.

00:44:40.000 Now you don't even know who's good, who's bad.

00:44:43.000 Yeah, it's a very complex space.

00:44:46.000 Masses kind of thing you're obsessed with, ain't it, darling?

00:44:50.000 Yeah, the left at the moment, they think that like there's a lot of cultural relativism going on.

00:44:54.000 So it's like you get it a lot with Hamas, you know, so you get the queers for Palestine stuff, and it's kind of this suicidal empathy that people have. 0.93

00:45:06.000 And they, you know, they will excuse bad things that people do because of their upbringing.

00:45:10.000 Now, I don't necessarily disagree with that, but it's just funny that that seems to be the default position people go to nowadays.

00:45:18.000 Like, oh, why did they do this thing?

00:45:19.000 And maybe it isn't that bad by extension.

00:45:21.000 So you see that in films, you see it in the news as well.

00:45:25.000 Yeah, because it like I'm sympathetic to those ideas, which I reckon are generally associated with left-wing politics of, well, maybe these people are drug addicts because they had a tough childhood.

00:45:38.000 Obviously, I'm sympathetic to that because I was a drug addict.

00:45:42.000 And I don't know if it was entirely as a result of childhood.

00:45:46.000 But what you know, like the first thing you have to do is unplug.

00:45:53.000 You have to unplug from the world.

00:45:55.000 If you're plugged into the world, you'll never, never understand.

00:45:59.000 You'll just live your whole life like, you know, sort of obsessing about some weird iteration of basically a hobby, even if it's a monetized one.

00:46:07.000 The thing is with being an alcoholic and a drug addict is you have to achieve abstinence.

00:46:12.000 And that's a form of unplugging.

00:46:14.000 What most of us do, drug addicts and alcoholics, is we unplug from that, from, you know, consider it, you know, Neo in the Matrix or whatever, but then we plug back into something else, you know, like porn or sex or food or whatever.

00:46:26.000 But really what you have to do is remain unplugged until you become the recipient of grace.

00:46:31.000 And that takes sort of an incredible amount of discipline, more than I can manage a lot of the time.

00:46:37.000 But at least it allows you to receive the source, the Holy Spirit.

00:46:43.000 I don't know how you would do it if you hadn't had a punch in the face type addiction like I've had.

00:46:49.000 You know, and I know that Joe, you wanted to talk some about addiction, huh?

00:46:56.000 Yeah.

00:46:56.000 And I wonder if you see in like in sort of where I was going with this, some correlatives.

00:47:04.000 Do you want to watch the Carl Jung, you can't heal addiction to face this video first?

00:47:08.000 Or do you want to tee up, mate?

00:47:10.000 I'll go straight in if you like.

00:47:13.000 So it's like what you're saying there.

00:47:15.000 When you give up one problem, you're likely to replace it with another, right?

00:47:20.000 And what Jung's saying is that it, like I describe it, Dave likes this one.

00:47:24.000 I call it a soul sickness.

00:47:26.000 I've always said that.

00:47:26.000 It's like a soul sickness.

00:47:28.000 But what Jung described it as, he said, it's like, it's a thirst of the spirit for wholeness.

00:47:34.000 So you're conscious.

00:47:36.000 Well, this is how I describe this as well.

00:47:37.000 Remember, I told you, Russell, that it's like your eternal consciousness, that in you which is infinite, is craving union with its creator, or as Jung said, union with God.

00:47:47.000 So I think what we do as alcoholics or drug addicts is you find a counterfeit spirit, the counterfeit to numb you, to escape.

00:47:58.000 And like Jung also said that until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life forever.

00:48:05.000 But if you look at the symptoms, it will direct you to the source.

00:48:09.000 And in this case, like addiction, it's loss of self-control, being possessed by an unconscious force or escape from self by a counterfeit spirit.

00:48:20.000 And that's where the quote comes from: spiritus contra spiritum, meaning like spirit, spirit against spirit.

00:48:28.000 So like the alcoholic reaches for the spirit, the counterfeit, when the solution is God, the true spirit.

00:48:37.000 I suppose that the, you know, like them gutters that come up when you're learning temping bowling that make sure the ball has no choice but to hit the skills at the end.

00:48:46.000 Like the culture doesn't really direct you down the right lanes or pathways.

00:48:52.000 I think that the culture, in fact, do you think it's fair to say that the point of the world is to distract you?

00:48:58.000 Like the actual point of it is to make sure that your energy gets into staring at sort of sexual imagery or forms of materialism.

00:49:09.000 I saw like a clip of me talking to Professor Richard Dawkins from an interview I did a couple of years ago.

00:49:15.000 And he said, the reason I'm the materialist is because it's measurable.

00:49:18.000 And when I heard the term materialist, I felt kind of like, ooh, that is not the answer.

00:49:23.000 I know for sure it's not.

00:49:25.000 And I know that Richard Dawkins doesn't mean materialist from a consumerist perspective.

00:49:29.000 I know he means if you can't measure it, like whether that's atomic or subatomic or whatever, that he ain't going to rely on it.

00:49:36.000 But it still seems to me sort of diabolical because I know what human, well, this human being, and I reckon that I'm pretty normal when it comes to it, what we need is precisely what we need is that spiritual connection.

00:49:48.000 And I think that the function of the world is to misdirect and substitute and think of the role of Christ as substitute, to substitute your yearning for God, wholeness, and holiness into some form of false idolatry.

00:50:04.000 I think we see it again and again.

00:50:06.000 I think you see it specifically in the fifth step.

00:50:08.000 I mean, when you're doing inventory, fourth and fifth, and you're looking at those causes and conditions, you're looking at the stuff underneath it.

00:50:16.000 I quoted you, Joe, earlier today.

00:50:18.000 I was 12-step in a guy.

00:50:20.000 I quoted soul sickness to a guy.

00:50:23.000 Soul sickness.

00:50:25.000 Yeah.

00:50:26.000 What do you mean by the fifth step and those causes and conditions?

00:50:29.000 Well, when you're getting down to it, I mean, in the third step, you're saying, hey, I'm, there is a God.

00:50:35.000 It's not me.

00:50:37.000 And I'm going to take my proper position underneath him.

00:50:42.000 He's going to be the God.

00:50:43.000 He's going to be the director.

00:50:45.000 He's the principal.

00:50:45.000 I'm the agent.

00:50:46.000 He's, you know, it's this positional deal.

00:50:49.000 But you don't know how you play God.

00:50:51.000 And so in the fourth and fifth, it's showing this pattern.

00:50:55.000 This is how I play God.

00:50:56.000 I play God by, I use self-pity to get my needs met, or I get angry.

00:51:02.000 And, or I have, usually it's a combination of several things, but usually there's patterns that come out of that.

00:51:08.000 This is how I play God.

00:51:10.000 And so you can't stop doing something until you see exactly what you're doing.

00:51:15.000 And so you learn that in that fist up.

00:51:17.000 Do you think that's a more parochial and easy to understand way of saying what Joe said?

00:51:23.000 Until the unconscious becomes conscious, you will be subject to its inert powers.

00:51:29.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:51:30.000 For sure.

00:51:31.000 I mean, that's what if you leave a fist step and you didn't learn anything about yourself, you didn't see like, I mean, one, I don't even see how that's possible.

00:51:40.000 You didn't really do a fist up if you leave it and not.

00:51:43.000 Just to update you on the vocabulary step, we're talking about 12-step programs.

00:51:47.000 Step one is the acknowledgement of a problem, that you're powerless over your addiction and that your life has become manageable.

00:51:52.000 Step two, coming to believe that power greater than yourself can restore you to sanity.

00:51:56.000 Step three, making the decision to turn your will and your life over to the care of God as you understand God.

00:52:01.000 Step four, making a fearless and thorough moral inventory of your wrongs.

00:52:05.000 Step five, confessing those wrongs to another person.

00:52:09.000 And Dave's saying that this process of four and five is what takes the unconscious material into the conscious, into awareness, you know, consciousness.

00:52:20.000 I suppose you could, in this sense, just means aware.

00:52:23.000 And what I, to my point that I used to pivot from talking about movies and culture into this rather more personal and psychic interpretation of comparable phenomena was that if you're an alcoholic or an addict, as it says in our literature, you have a crisis that cannot be postponed or delayed.

00:52:45.000 Like a crisis comes on you.

00:52:48.000 And at that point of crisis, your options become limited.

00:52:51.000 I mean, that's in fact an obvious defining aspect of crisis.

00:52:58.000 You're not free anymore.

00:52:59.000 You're now, your options have gotten limited.

00:53:01.000 And in that kind of crisis, it's usually either suicide remains an option or some kind of radical change.

00:53:10.000 One of my teachers said that sort of suicide is a radical is a sort of sort of a warped expression of the actual transformation that needs to take place.

00:53:21.000 And to put that, I suppose, into Christian terms, like the Adam has to die.

00:53:26.000 The earth man, the flesh man, he has to go and be replaced by the spiritual man. 0.93

00:53:33.000 And I suppose like learning about these things as I have from a new, I suppose the thing I'm trying to get across in this book is that there's, you know, it's weird, isn't it?

00:53:46.000 Because if you become like I've done a Christian later in life, you sort of you're accepting that you didn't, you know, you're letting go of the past, you're being reborn.

00:53:56.000 I'm like, well, I've been doing stuff.

00:53:57.000 You know, it's not like I've just been sort of sat in a room doing nothing.

00:54:01.000 I've been going around the world getting into adventures and capers and chaos and reading books and learning and all of that.

00:54:08.000 And what's amazing is that all of the things that I've got some sort of sack of stuff, I'm like, well, I feel like that's true.

00:54:14.000 And I feel like that was true.

00:54:15.000 Like all them things are in the Bible.

00:54:17.000 They're in there.

00:54:18.000 That's what's, I suppose, been the single most extraordinary thing is the discovery that the Bible isn't simply a bunch of ethical and moral guidelines utilized to create systems of control, but it's a very powerful, supernatural structure.

00:54:42.000 And that's sort of a weird thing for me.

00:54:45.000 Like to go like, and what I'm sort of excited about, and what I believe might be the resolution to the very things we're discussing here, a culture that doesn't know itself and it's falling apart and collapsing and imploding.

00:54:55.000 And we're watching it happen, like just sort of watching, like watching the Twin Towers, which we've all done, collapsing into its own footprint, thinking, how is this happening?

00:55:02.000 How is this happening?

00:55:03.000 Where's the energy coming from?

00:55:05.000 What does this lead?

00:55:06.000 Where does this lead?

00:55:07.000 What does this tell us?

00:55:08.000 Is that these, I believe that the truth of Christ is, of course, as it itself says, is what's going to save us.

00:55:18.000 And communicating that in ways that seem appropriate seems to be our function.

00:55:26.000 That's our function.

00:55:27.000 That's what we're here to do right now.

00:55:31.000 Is it from the book of Esther?

00:55:32.000 It's for times such as these that we are born.

00:55:35.000 We're supposed to be doing this.

00:55:36.000 We're supposed to be.

00:55:37.000 And that doesn't mean it has to be on a very grand and global scale.

00:55:40.000 Although, come on, it's going to be.

00:55:42.000 It could be on a kind of very sort of granular, just talking to one guy in a shelter somewhere.

00:55:50.000 In a way, it doesn't matter because the metrics of the system are becoming increasingly redundant.

00:55:57.000 Because as Emmett Fox says, if you change, or you know, the end of Schindler's list, like, you know, if you are changing one soul, you are dealing in the material of eternity.

00:56:08.000 But empires are coming and going.

00:56:11.000 An empire is not eternal.

00:56:12.000 No material thing is eternal.

00:56:15.000 It is collapsing through entropy.

00:56:17.000 It is dissipating as soon as it's created.

00:56:19.000 But when you're dealing with whatever is the force that generates it, in which we're all participants, like you were saying, Joe, that we have that portion of eternity in us.

00:56:31.000 When you're dealing with that, it no longer matters.

00:56:34.000 And I'm sort of feeling the kind of shifting of the inner coastal shelves within me of recognizing, oh, yeah, it's not like I'm sort of, I have to be sort of hyper-focused on kings or hyper-focused on mass markets.

00:56:52.000 It's more become hyper-focused on the essentialism of the truths that you're discussing.

00:57:00.000 I'll play that video if anyone, unless anyone's got something they want to say.

00:57:05.000 Addiction is not your enemy.

00:57:07.000 It is your messenger.

00:57:09.000 It is not here to ruin your life, though it may do so if ignored.

00:57:13.000 It has come to deliver something from the depths of your unconscious that your conscious mind has not yet dared to face.

00:57:19.000 You see, the psyche is not a machine that malfunctions.

00:57:23.000 It is a living system.

00:57:24.000 And when it suffers, it does not do so at random.

00:57:27.000 The addict, whether addicted to alcohol, heroin, sex, perfection, or even power, is not simply indulging in a destructive habit.

00:57:37.000 He is attempting, often blindly, to solve a problem of the soul.

00:57:42.000 Let us speak clearly.

00:57:45.000 Addiction is not weakness.

00:57:47.000 It is a misdirected search for wholeness, for something sacred, something eternal, something lost.

00:57:55.000 I have observed this in countless patients.

00:57:58.000 They come to me in torment, consumed by compulsions they neither understand nor can control.

00:58:05.000 And society tells them to just stop.

00:58:07.000 What absurdity.

00:58:09.000 They might as well be told to just fly.

00:58:12.000 The compulsion is not a choice.

00:58:13.000 It is a symptom of a deeper imbalance, a split within the self.

00:58:18.000 What lies beneath addiction is the shadow, that part of you which has been exiled.

00:58:24.000 That part which is unacceptable to the ego, which you have learned to suppress in order to survive.

00:58:30.000 But the shadow does not die.

00:58:33.000 It waits.

00:58:34.000 And it speaks in dreams and behaviors and suffering.

00:58:37.000 When you drink or inject or obsess, you are not simply running from pain.

00:58:44.000 You are being pulled, pulled by something ancient, something unresolved.

00:58:49.000 Some part of you has been starved and it is now devouring whatever it can find.

00:58:54.000 But the truth is this.

00:58:56.000 You are not addicted to the substance.

00:58:57.000 You are addicted to the feeling it gives you.

00:59:00.000 Or rather, to the part of yourself it helps you silence.

00:59:03.000 The alcoholic does not crave the drink.

00:59:06.000 He craves the forgetting the silence of guilt, the stilling of the inner critic, the release from the unbearable weight of being oneself. 0.97

00:59:14.000 God, young man, what a crazy genius that dude was.

00:59:19.000 So beautiful.

00:59:20.000 What was it about that, Joe, that got you, mate?

00:59:23.000 I mean, I've been thinking a lot about this recently.

00:59:26.000 I think everyone has this condition to some degree, right? 0.98

00:59:30.000 Like, whether it's, you know, when you're watching a film, you eat a big bar of tonies and you've fucking eaten the whole thing in two minutes. 0.81

00:59:37.000 But some people were all right with that.

00:59:38.000 Like, the material world works.

00:59:41.000 Sometimes a bar of chocolate works or a tub of Ben and Jerry's.

00:59:44.000 You know, like if you split up with a bird or something and it's the, you know, stereotypical eating ice cream on the couch, it takes you away from yourself momentarily.

00:59:54.000 But like he says there in that little speech, with the addicts, it becomes a compulsion.

01:00:00.000 So even though it's killing you, you're going to die if you keep doing it.

01:00:04.000 The compulsion is like a thought preceded by the action.

01:00:07.000 There's no rational thought in between. 1.00

01:00:09.000 Whereas normal people think, oh, fuck me. 1.00

01:00:12.000 It's getting a bit on top. 1.00

01:00:13.000 I need to slow down here, you know.

01:00:16.000 And I think, what is that actually doing?

01:00:19.000 Or nearly doing?

01:00:20.000 It's nearly working.

01:00:22.000 That's the annoying thing.

01:00:23.000 It nearly works.

01:00:24.000 It shuts you down.

01:00:26.000 So like, in the same way, the solution, the spiritual life is all about detachment.

01:00:32.000 It's like the substance itself almost works for a bit.

01:00:36.000 But, you know, the spiritual life is what you need, complete detachment from self.

01:00:40.000 And like you're saying there, Russell, through Christianity, it's not just reading kings.

01:00:45.000 You've got to be actively out there thinking about other people, helping other people, helping you best serve other people.

01:00:52.000 As soon as you start thinking about yourself, you fucks back in it and it's going to lead to, I don't know, anything really, isn't it? 0.66

01:00:59.000 You go mad again, potentially.

01:01:01.000 I wonder if that seeming deficit that defines the condition of the addicts is actually an inverted endowment.

01:01:11.000 The cast of Melchi Zedek.

01:01:16.000 You know, that it's a priestly endowment that won't rest until you fulfill it in God.

01:01:24.000 And it's going to kill a lot of us. 0.72

01:01:25.000 It's going to kill a lot of us.

01:01:27.000 But if you are able to accommodate it or if you're able to be shown the way.

01:01:33.000 Because I'm thinking about like, because for an addict, right, this highfalutin talk don't really help.

01:01:38.000 It means that, like for any addict anywhere, unless there's a point where you're willing to go through it, willing to go through.

01:01:45.000 Well, what happens when you don't do it?

01:01:47.000 Try stopping.

01:01:48.000 What happens?

01:01:48.000 If you like, you know, I need to drink, I need to drink.

01:01:50.000 Don't.

01:01:51.000 See what happens.

01:01:52.000 Oh my God.

01:01:53.000 I've got the pain, the terrible pain, the terrible pain.

01:01:56.000 And it works just as well for anything.

01:01:59.000 The only way, if you will note that it brings to the forefront some pretty important spiritual ideas, that these things can only take place in the present and you have to engage in a discourse with an aspect of yourself that might be considered supernatural or external to the self, whether you look at it in Jungian or Christian terms.

01:02:15.000 How can they close or Einsteinian physics?

01:02:19.000 How can a closed system change from within itself?

01:02:22.000 How can a closed system change from within itself?

01:02:24.000 That's what the miracle of step two came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

01:02:29.000 At some point, you have to, in the moment, go, God, I'm going to sit with it.

01:02:35.000 I'm going to sit in the pain.

01:02:37.000 And I've been doing that a lot lately, a lot.

01:02:39.000 I've been sitting daily, either praying rosary or sitting with ideas around forgiveness and grievance and letting go of grievance and recognizing the challenge in this that actually all encounters.

01:03:00.000 Check this.

01:03:01.000 You might have seen that film Look Up.

01:03:03.000 There's a really good bit in this movie, Look Up, Leonardo DiCaprio and a bunch of other guys sort of save the world from a meteorite.

01:03:09.000 No one wants to acknowledge the meteorite initially because of the sort of challenges that come with the earth being struck by a meteorite.

01:03:16.000 And Leonardo DiCaprio is the sort of sort of the guy that sees it soonest and is like, oh my God, you guys have better make some changes.

01:03:23.000 There's a bit where he encounters a kind of tech oligarch, the kind of tech oligarch archetype that we're beginning to recognize in our culture now, like whether you see it as Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg or the Lex Luther character in the latest iteration of the Superman movie.

01:03:38.000 The tech oligarch is a sort of a new Faustus, a new character that's made a deal with a devil that now has incredible power.

01:03:47.000 Anyway, the version of that character that's in this movie, Look Up, there's a point where he says to someone, like, listen, we've got four million data points on you.

01:03:57.000 We know everything you've looked at.

01:03:59.000 We know everything you do.

01:04:00.000 And I was talking about that with someone recently that like, you know, like every time I use a map, every time I go on social media, every time I do anything on this phone, it's all accumulated and it creates a kind of silhouette of who I am that probably could be more reliably used to describe me than reading my fourth and fifth steps.

01:04:19.000 You know, like, unless you're a person who knows yourself very, very well, like, well, he keeps going to that place.

01:04:25.000 He keeps looking at that.

01:04:26.000 He keeps buying that. 0.82

01:04:27.000 So he might tell you this or that about himself, but I can tell you what he's doing is he's buying these things pretty fucking regular and he's going there all the time, right?

01:04:36.000 Well, that's, you know, the miracle of accumulative data models that define this current iteration of tech, which is passing as AI arrives.

01:04:48.000 But we all have that.

01:04:49.000 Like, how many data points do I have on any one of you?

01:04:52.000 Like, how many data points?

01:04:53.000 I've got my encounters, my conversations, my memories.

01:04:56.000 So if one of you occurs in one of my dreams, what is it I'm dealing with really?

01:05:01.000 I'm dealing with my composite set of data points that doesn't incorporate your relationships, your private relationships with one another, or your parents, or your dreams, or your inner life.

01:05:11.000 So you're just a sort of a compound.

01:05:13.000 You're a compound.

01:05:14.000 Unless God is real and we have this sort of ulterior spiritual connection that's sort of transcendent of that.

01:05:19.000 But a materialist, Richard Dawkins, would say no.

01:05:21.000 And a data analyst would say no.

01:05:24.000 So like all you're dealing with is like objects, accumulative compounds that you've created of people in their mind.

01:05:30.000 So if you, so that's if you dream about someone you know, if you have recurrent dreams about like, wow, the black woman or recurrent dreams about the dragon or whatever it is in a dream, what is it saying to you in your own language in the ecosystem of your psyche?

01:05:45.000 What is it trying to tell you?

01:05:47.000 What is this protein living substance or phenomena within you trying to inform you of?

01:05:53.000 And how are you going to interpret it?

01:05:55.000 The fact is, is that if you live in a busy, busy, crazy culture like we do, that's like one minute making you care about football, the next minute making you care about food, the next minute making you care about sex, the next minute making you feel inferior, next minute telling you Armageddon's on the way, you ain't got no connection with God.

01:06:10.000 You're not going to be able to find a connection with God.

01:06:13.000 But if you go into this, it's such sort of deep, powerful, archetypal, mythic information that sort of the point where myth and truth meet.

01:06:21.000 For myth to be relevant at all, it has to have some relationship with truth.

01:06:24.000 And one aspect of the figure of Christ that we discuss a lot is that he is God.

01:06:29.000 And what does God do?

01:06:30.000 In addition to the healing and the miracles, he tells stories.

01:06:33.000 What are stories?

01:06:34.000 Stories indicate meaning.

01:06:36.000 In the same way that mathematics indicates that there's a deeper meaning, and the same way that beauty and symmetry indicate meaning, and the same way that the relationships between musical notes indicate meaning, meaning itself indicates meaning.

01:06:50.000 And what does he do?

01:06:51.000 He tells stories.

01:06:52.000 The person that told the story of reality into being tells stories, often accommodating the fact you won't really get it.

01:07:00.000 It's a bit like if there was two farmers.

01:07:02.000 Like, you know, he knows that we are not going to be able to get it on the level of sort of rushing prismic atoms and storms and vortexes and black holes. 0.99

01:07:12.000 You're not going to get that shit. 0.83

01:07:13.000 So like, you know, unless you're willing to sit on your own with it on the edge, like that first image in that Jungian thing, which was an imploding succubus of quicksand, which is what it's like in there. 0.99

01:07:24.000 I know you know.

01:07:25.000 I know you know. 0.99

01:07:27.000 And if you are willing to sit on the edge long enough and you can handle it and don't go, fuck me, I'm going to have to open up my arm, then you might come back with something worth having. 0.99

01:07:37.000 But, you know, it's a tough old ride. 0.99

01:07:40.000 It's a tough old ride.

01:07:41.000 Hey, if you're watching us on Rumble, that's all we've got time for.

01:07:43.000 But we're going to do a little bit longer on Rumble Premium.

01:07:46.000 And you don't only get additional uses, you get additional Greenwalds.

01:07:50.000 You get additional crowders and additional pools.

01:07:52.000 So click the link in the description and join us there.

01:07:55.000 We will be back.

01:07:55.000 Happy Thanksgiving, man.

01:07:57.000 I can't believe I'm so English.

01:07:59.000 I didn't even mention it.

01:08:01.000 Happy Thanksgiving.

01:08:02.000 Hey, thank you.

01:08:03.000 Happy Thanksgiving.

01:08:04.000 Thank you.

01:08:05.000 Ho Hitler. 0.92

01:08:10.000 I'm not pro that dude at all.

01:08:12.000 I don't know.

01:08:13.000 No, I mean, I'm not pro any genocide by anybody at any time, anywhere.

01:08:17.000 But man, the outfits.

01:08:18.000 The outfits.

01:08:19.000 All right.

01:08:20.000 So we're going to carry on.

01:08:21.000 Click the link.

01:08:22.000 Join us if you want to.

01:08:22.000 Otherwise, we'll see you.

01:08:23.000 Is our next show going to be the one where I did that stand-up comedy?

01:08:26.000 Oh, yeah.

01:08:26.000 It's pretty funny.

01:08:28.000 I realized when I did this event for Maha, I realized, oh, yeah, you're a comedian.

01:08:34.000 Prepare jokes.

01:08:36.000 It will help you.

01:08:37.000 And I did that.

01:08:38.000 And what do you know?

01:08:39.000 It works.

01:08:40.000 And it sort of was when reflecting on that, as well as the word Phoenix that made me go, I am going to do turning point.

01:08:47.000 Because remember, I left you that message and I was like, I'm behind this van that says Phoenix.

01:08:50.000 And then this pastor left me a message and just inexplicably used the metaphor of Phoenix.

01:08:54.000 I know it's a common metaphor in its way.

01:08:55.000 But the turning point event is in Phoenix.

01:08:58.000 And I'm thinking, well, if Shapiro's there and Tucker's there and Erica Kirk's there and I get to be in the midst of this thing, I'll get to communicate what I believe to be true at this thing.

01:09:10.000 And that is what I will do.

01:09:12.000 So you can look forward to reading about my assassination around December 19th.

01:09:18.000 No, like I'll be at that.

01:09:20.000 All right.

01:09:21.000 See, please, God. 0.96

01:09:22.000 Well, you know, you die sometime.

01:09:24.000 Abraham is right because, you know, Isaac's dead now.

01:09:27.000 So Abraham was right. 0.98

01:09:28.000 All right.

01:09:28.000 Click the link in the description.

01:09:29.000 See you in a second.

01:09:32.000 I mean, I don't know how people are following this.
