00:11:39.000Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:11:43.000How great it is to be joined by you on another extraordinary day in the approach to the election.
00:11:53.000How are you getting on in the Rumble Chat, Carl Rhino and Liquor Giant?
00:11:58.000We've got some good stuff to cover from Bongino's testimony that I think you're going to be pretty interested in, as well as looking at some more revelations from Bobby Kennedy.
00:12:08.000Some interesting I'll call them, I suppose, reflections on what the Zuckerberg position indicates.
00:12:17.000The sound's low, guys, on the mic, if you wouldn't mind addressing that.
00:13:24.000It's a pet food brand that Rumble have.
00:13:27.000But also they have a pet insurance that is an affiliate to it.
00:13:31.000You know, like dogs can go from very high energy to just being sick in an instant.
00:13:36.000And you know it's like if you have to call a vet like when they're out of hours.
00:13:39.000It's a terrible way to manage your dog's health, not to mention it can be very stressful for you.
00:13:43.000So there's this emergency pet kit that you can get from Pawsitive Health, which contains critical medications and supplies that can keep you out of vets and maybe even save your dog's life.
00:13:52.000So if you want to use it, go to Pawsitive, that's spelled like P-A-W, Pawsitive.com slash brand.
00:14:34.000You know, like Bobby Kennedy said, I think just conversationally, that 50% of the US FDA's budget comes from pharma.
00:14:41.000And then the agency released an official statement saying it's only 47%.
00:14:44.000But of course, when it comes to The department within the FDA that controls drugs.
00:14:50.000It's actually 75% of their funding, so it's actually even worse.
00:14:55.000And how ridiculous of the FDA to complain that they're being misrepresented when it's, you know, when someone says, oh, 50% of their funding comes from Big Pharma, when it's in fact 47%.
00:15:04.000It's just, it's just not a big enough difference, is it?
00:15:10.000Now, listen, this is a pretty significant story if you ask me.
00:15:15.000We are in the very midst of a tidal wave of propaganda inviting us to perceive Kamala Harris as Barack Obama part two for us to celebrate the growth of America as a nation and as a republic because now people of color have gone from Jim Crow and the indignity and horror and evil of slavery to being in positions of political power but it's been remarked before that Barack Obama did not exactly Make America a better place for low-income Americans or Americans of colour.
00:15:51.000But he in fact was, in a sense, a perfect product.
00:15:55.000And the very people that might say, how could you promote this delicious pet food, will promote political ideologies that are deeply insidious and nefarious.
00:16:05.000This take by Chris Hedges, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, He's excellent in his takedown of Barack Obama and how Obama voted every single time.
00:16:18.000Because when we're looking at the election in November, I'm sure some of us, you know, me, I find it very difficult not to get deluged by the overstimulating campaigns and propaganda.
00:16:29.000I tend towards anti-establishment thinking.
00:16:55.000Maybe that's why, even if you're watching this on YouTube now, maybe that's why you'll click the link in the description and join us over on Rumble because Rumble's made a commitment to free speech and not to censor, except for when what you say is a transgression of already existing laws, which to me seems like a pretty sensible way to go about things.
00:17:14.000Anyway, the Kamala campaign are super excited that they've got what you might call legacy Republicans like Bush or Romney, Staffers or McCain.
00:17:23.000Staffers, John McCain, God rest his soul, of course he's dead.
00:17:26.000But they're excited by the idea that centrist Republicans are in support of their movement.
00:17:37.000You know that my position is that the greater threat to America, and therefore the world, is not the idea of the populist strongman who many, many liberals, many, many members of the metropolitan professional classes that are so influential in media are coaching us to fear.
00:18:40.000Was he, as some have said, truly the representative of financial elites?
00:18:46.000Who used many of his God-given abilities to serve those interests.
00:18:51.000Let's look at Chris Hedges' analysis before looking at how the Democratic Party movement is using the endorsement of legacy Republicans and legacy Republican staffers to bolster their appeal.
00:19:06.000Perhaps precisely because they are losing the propaganda war.
00:19:11.000Let's look at what Chris, first of all, what Chris Hedges says.
00:19:14.000It's pretty, pretty Damning and forthright.
00:19:18.000Why are so many progressives and leftists going for Kamala?
00:19:23.000You know, a fear of Trump because they're swayed by the bombardment of propaganda.
00:19:28.000A lot of it's woke politics because she's a woman of color.
00:19:31.000Although, you know, we should have gotten over that with Obama, who, as Cornel West said, was just a black mascot for Wall Street.
00:19:37.000She was a cop, basically, and served the interests of law enforcement when she was attorney general in California.
00:19:43.000When Obama ran, Dennis Kucinich printed out and gave me a copy of Obama's voting record.
00:19:49.000And he said, you got to read this, because it's every corporate giveaway that's possible.
00:19:55.000And Dennis said that when he went to go to baseball games at Cleveland, the ushers would go up and down and say, get the scorecard, get the scorecard.
00:20:23.000What does it make you feel when Biden, remember that guy, says we beat Big Pharma this year and what he's actually referring to is limited price controls on a particular set of medicines.
00:20:33.000How do you feel that the pandemic era has already been ushered off into the deep annals of barely accessible Memory.
00:20:42.000Don't you think in a sane and sensible society this would be seen as a referendum, this forthcoming election, on the pandemic?
00:20:50.000Don't you think that we should be able to hold on to the memory of the propaganda, the censorship, the deception, the lies, the authoritarianism, the plainly global hue of the top-down authority?
00:21:03.000And if it was just a one-off example that would make sense In the context of a pandemic, you know, a pandemic is a global issue and requires a global response, then what do you imagine is happening in censorship, which similarly appears to be being manoeuvred and manipulated at the global level?
00:21:16.000What's happening in agriculture when it seems that the control of our food is also happening at a global level?
00:21:21.000When farmers are being impoverished and broken down?
00:21:27.000When it seems to me, although it'd be difficult and it'd take me a little while to demonstrate entirely, that our food sources Seeds, nature herself, are being colonized and plundered and controlled.
00:21:42.000It's important to listen to significant voices like Vandana Shiva, an important voice in that topic, as surely as Kali means, has become a great influence when it comes to openness and transparency in the food industry.
00:21:54.000Let's have a look now at how certain legacy Republicans' endorsements is being used as if it's a powerful boost to the Democratic Party campaign, to the Kamala campaign.
00:22:06.000As if we should somehow forget that the names Bush, Cheney, et al.
00:22:33.000The fact these warmongers support Harris should tell you everything.
00:22:36.000Democrats are the party of unjust government power.
00:22:41.000Let me know what you think about that in the rumble chat.
00:22:42.000Let me know what you think about that, Awaken Wonders, like Jim Earpsey and Miss Molly.
00:22:47.000And let's have a look at a legacy media piece of reporting on these endorsements.
00:22:53.000OK, more than 200 Republicans who worked for three of the most recent GOP nominees prior to former President Trump are now endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:23:04.000In a letter, the 238 Republicans, which includes staffers from former President George W. Bush's White House and Senators John McCain and Mitt Romney's presidential campaigns, urge more moderate Republicans and independents to, quote, take a brave stand once more.
00:23:20.000The group builds on a smaller set of about 150 Republicans who pledged to support then-candidate Biden back in 2020.
00:23:28.000And it comes after a Democratic convention that included conservatives like former Congressman Adam Kinzinger speaking to common values that transcend party.
00:23:38.000The letter further states, quote, of course, we have plenty of honest ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Governor Walz.
00:23:47.000The alternative, however, is simply untenable.
00:23:50.000At home, another four years of Donald Trump's chaotic leadership, this time focused on advancing the dangerous goals of Project 2025, will hurt real everyday people and waken our sacred institutions.
00:24:04.000Project 2025 and our sacred institutions.
00:24:10.000Why don't you forget that you're alive and consume all of their ablutions, washing away your intelligence with the soap of their propagandist lies?
00:24:21.000So odd, isn't it, that they continue to amplify hysteria, which is the only state in which you would consider imbibing this Kool-Aid Kamala campaign, which seems built not on substance, not on policy, only the relentless advancement of authoritarianism.
00:24:39.000and a materialistic and godless attempt to defibrillate further the idea that superficial
00:24:46.000indicators of equality ought being enough for you.
00:24:50.000And for many people it seems like it is enough to say that this is a woman of colour.
00:24:54.000And like I've said to you before, all things being equal, that would be a kind of indication
00:25:03.000But surely we can all now see that what we are being invited to perpetuate are institutions that use a very, very powerful word like sacred In order to mask its insidious opposite, total corruption, total control.
00:26:23.000Is it that the word minister, like administer or prime minister, Or, government minister means to serve?
00:26:33.000Has the very idea of service been lost?
00:26:35.000Are we facing something far more ontologically profound as to whether or not we invoke a Republican MAGA candidate, albeit one that now is beginning to assemble an Avengers-like cast around him?
00:26:49.000Of decent Democrats and fine, fiery independents like Bobby Kennedy.
00:26:54.000And it's ridiculous to say that the Kennedy name has no association with the Democrat Party, particularly when you think of what the Democratic Party used to mean and what it used to represent.
00:27:03.000So what I would invite you to do is consider very carefully about who you vote for, what you watch and what you believe in.
00:27:09.000Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:27:12.000If you're watching this on YouTube, click the link in the description, because we are going to be talking about Dan Bongino's recent appearance.
00:27:20.000If you don't know who... Start the timer, please.
00:27:22.000If you don't know who Dan Bongino is, then you should learn all about Dan, because it is a pretty...
00:27:33.000And his perspective on the Secret Service is particularly valuable given that he is a veteran of the Secret Service himself and a former cop.
00:27:40.000And his testimony in a recent hearing has given us some incredible new insights on the Trump assassination attempt and the problems within the Secret Service that might mean a comparable event could occur again.
00:27:51.000If you're on YouTube, click the link in the description.
00:27:53.000Get on over to Rumble so we can continue freely together.
00:27:58.000Before we get into that, of course, you know we cannot make this content without the contributions from our partners.
00:28:03.000We've got very good partners here, and we're going to bring you a message from one of them right now.
00:28:28.000That he censored information that he should not have censored.
00:28:32.000That he took the lead of the FBI, which many of us were talking about at the time.
00:28:37.000Many people were saying that the Hunter Biden laptop story was being repressed, that it amounted to election interference because it would have made a significant difference in significant states.
00:28:46.000Many people were deeply concerned, more concerned even than the outcomes and impact of the Hunter Biden laptop story, about what took place during the pandemic.
00:28:55.000How legitimate scientific voices were censored and controlled.
00:28:59.000How ordinary people's testimony of adverse events as a result of taking those extraordinary medications was shut down.
00:29:07.000Well now Mark Zuckerberg is himself on board with the misinformation because he has acknowledged that deep state interests were guiding his decision or at least those that work for him at Facebook when it came to censorship and shutting down posts.
00:29:24.000Now I wonder What this admission means?
00:29:27.000Does it mean, as Charlie Kirk said, that perhaps he's had a look at the way that the wind is blowing, the way that the data is flowing, and realised that he's likely to have to deal with a Republican Trump candidate in just a matter of months and he might need to get his house in order?
00:29:43.000Or is it a deeper spiritual transformation?
00:29:46.000Why don't you guys let me know in the chat What you think.
00:29:51.000Let's have a look at the uh let's have a look at this morning joke clip just to remind us of how furiously and how passionately the legacy media went out to bat for censorship and control and how they denied that the Hunter Biden lapstop story was true and god you know how they behaved during the pandemic.
00:30:13.000And talk about Facebook having problems and Twitter having problems with a story that even the New York Post knew was a lie.
00:30:28.000They published a series of lies, penned them by Rudy Giuliani, who admitted that nobody else would take it but Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, because they might look into it and tell the truth.
00:31:44.000You are revealed right now, but you will be revealed throughout history for basically running cover for Russians.
00:31:53.000And you've got this computer repair shop owner in Delaware who is a staunch Trump supporter and who peddles in conspiracy theories and whose shop is thousands of miles away from where Hunter Biden lives.
00:32:07.000So you've got a lot of questions here.
00:32:12.000I don't think there's a lot of credence.
00:32:14.000That's why the FBI is questioning not the Bidens, but Rudy Giuliani.
00:32:19.000And I think the message here, the lesson here, is that if you're going to plan an October surprise, you may want to choose a planner who is not parading around the world with a known Russian secret agent for the last year.
00:32:32.000Maybe choose a planner that has better peer reviews next time.
00:32:35.000So this looks like Russian intelligence, this walks like Russian intelligence, this sounds like Russian intelligence.
00:32:42.000Every intelligence professional I've been talking to, Mika, says this is a Russian intelligence disinformation campaign.
00:32:47.000Rudy Giuliani was not fed passively Russian disinformation.
00:32:54.000So do they look into how two weeks, two and a half weeks before an election, someone decided to use a tabloid to In all probability, know that they were smearing a major candidate against a president that this tabloid was supporting, and whether or not that would fall under a criminal investigation, leading to some kind of criminal charges.
00:33:19.000I wonder why this admission is taking place now.
00:33:21.000There's a post from Charlie Kirk on the amount of access that Zuckerberg has to data.
00:33:27.000And this is not likely to be a mea culpa, but just a, oh no, me in a lot of trouble if the Republicans win the election in a couple of months.
00:33:38.000He's simply concerned by the entire affair, and indeed it is concerning.
00:33:43.000Michael Schellenberger knows all about this, being one of the first Twitter Files journalists to get access to what was going on when it came to the revelations that took place after Musk's own acquisition of the platform, then Twitter, now X, when stories about deep state engagement, meddling and censorship Well, Novel, before we'd had the time to absorb them and accept it as just part of life, before we'd come to terms with the fact that the Supreme Court would back the government as they continue to censor and control true information, do you imagine for a moment that they're not doing it right now when it comes to stories that might be beneficial to the Kamala campaign or stories that might be detrimental to Trump and this growing alliance with interesting political figures?
00:34:29.000What does it make you feel when you know that you're consuming a great deal of contemnatory, negative propaganda continually?
00:34:38.000How do these big tech, and in particular social media platforms, align with government interests?
00:34:47.000Yeah, and people in the Awaken Wonder chat, I'm talking to you, see Stevens5, are pointing out That Pavel Durov has just been arrested in France.
00:34:56.000So it seems in the world of big tech, there's good big tech and there's bad big tech.
00:35:01.000There's good billionaires and there's bad billionaires.
00:35:03.000And the continual theme is compliance.
00:35:06.000If you are willing to amplify the message of the powerful, if you are willing to contribute to their maintenance of their systems of control, you'll be okay.
00:35:14.000But if you oppose them, wherever you sit in the spectrum, You will experience their ire and likely experience what happens when they turn their various institutions against you.
00:35:27.000Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:35:32.000Zuckerberg's letter went further than what he told Joe Rogan in 2022, because he specifically mentioned Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that Hunter Biden worked for.
00:35:44.000Zuckerberg wrote, The FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead-up to the 2020 election.
00:35:54.000Nobody at the FBI has gone to prison or even been properly investigated for their crimes.
00:36:00.000And yet the evidence shows that the CIA and FBI broke the Wiretap Act and the Hatch Act of 1939, which... Do you know what we need?
00:36:08.000We need someone else in charge of the CIA.
00:36:12.000RFK, a man whose uncle and father were potentially murdered as a result of deep state plots.
00:36:19.000We'll be having a look at that in a moment.
00:36:21.000But here, first of all, is a message from one of our partners.
00:36:26.000Now, the war against free speech is in full swing.
00:36:30.000We are the Vanguard, bravely fighting back.
00:36:33.000Rumble's the home of this channel, Stay Free, and a leader in defending the fundamental human right of free speech.
00:36:39.000They've joined You might be aware that Dunkin Donuts, little old Dunkin Donuts didn't want to advertise on Rumble because of what they called right-wing culture.
00:36:55.000Well let me tell you this, I don't believe in any wing.
00:38:14.000I mean, even this single task is a challenge.
00:38:17.000Now, we've been speaking for a while about corruption within the deep state, censorship, extraordinary theatrical constructed events, false flag events, FBI or CIA agents inserted into crowds to cause, participate, maybe cause, insurrections.
00:38:34.000Is it time for the CIA to face a reckoning?
00:38:37.000Is it time that the deep state is confronted?
00:38:41.000Do you remember that brilliant bit of New York Times propaganda?
00:38:44.000I'm a member of the deep state and I'm a nice person.
00:38:46.000Again, they showed sort of like the humble pen pushers and poindexters of the deep state.
00:38:52.000They're just men and women like you and I. And of course, human beings are everywhere and all human beings are sinners and all human beings are forgiven and all human beings are redeemed.
00:39:00.000But when it comes to systems and institutions that exert incredible and unwarranted control over your life and my life, And over our collective freedom, the CIA's gotta be right up there.
00:39:11.000What could be better, then, than the idea of RFK?
00:39:15.000A man who's gotta have skin in the game because it's likely that his uncle, John F. Kennedy, and his own father, Robert Kennedy Sr.
00:39:24.000were murdered as a result of CIA plots.
00:39:36.000Is this the type of reckoning these desacralized institutions within American political power, and therefore global political power, require?
00:39:46.000I believe it could be the solution that we are looking for.
00:39:50.000So, Let's have a look at Bobby Kennedy saying that he doesn't think it's likely, but I'd like it.
00:40:17.000As you know, the intelligence agency are protected by very, very powerful committees in the Senate and in the House that are already into the project.
00:40:30.000And the people who serve on those committees are people who would, you know, they would not, they would, they're just safeguarding that directorship.
00:40:40.000And I would be very, very dangerous for those And yet, in your joint appearance on Friday, President Trump introduced you by saying that he plans to, if elected, establish a commission to declassify the remaining documents surrounding your uncle's murder in 1963.
00:42:49.000It's an extraordinary point, and it's an extraordinary moment.
00:42:52.000Honestly, I would be so fascinated to communicate directly with Democratic party advocates.
00:42:59.000I guess that's what I've got to start having on the show.
00:43:01.000We've got to start talking to people that believe that Kamala Harris represents change.
00:43:08.000The people that belong to elite institutions.
00:43:11.000People who are financially dependent on the maintenance of the professional metropolitan class that appear to benefit from, you know, the new conservatism.
00:43:19.000I don't mean conservatism as in cultural conservatism or traditionalism.
00:43:24.000I mean, the sense that we want things to stay the same.
00:43:27.000Conservatism, for me now, means progressivism, individualism, materialism, the idea that technology will solve our problems, that we're here to consume, a kind of nihilistic belief that there is no afterlife, no for life, no reason for living, no God, no true beauty, Other than the symmetry that occurs arbitrarily, apparently through some fractal tumble of deracinated mathematics.
00:43:52.000That there is no glory, that there is no God, that there is no reason to have principles.
00:43:58.000I have so many friends That still advocate for, say, Keir Starmer and the Centrist Labour Party or Kamala Harris.
00:44:07.000But usually this advocacy is born in my country of a hatred of the previous government, the Tory Party, the Conservatives.
00:44:12.000That's our sort of version of the Republicans.
00:44:14.000And I've got to tell you, they were pretty appalling.
00:44:17.000They did have literal parties during Covid.
00:44:20.000They do deeply loathe ordinary people.
00:44:24.000And in your country, the United States of America, it seems that the ongoing hysteria and hatred of Donald Trump, everything he touches, and the MAGA movement, and I would say that perhaps the ulterior thread that undergirds that is a suspicion and loathing of, I'm going to have to say, ordinary Americans of All colours.
00:44:46.000The kind of loathing that is encapsulated in a phrase like basket of deplorables.
00:44:52.000That kind of reflexed disdain for those of you that might happily wear a Make America Great Again hat.
00:45:01.000Do send your picture wearing your MAGA hat in the rumble chat if you have one.
00:45:06.000I know that one of the people that works here proudly wears one.
00:45:10.000I'm looking for the birth of a political movement that can include Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, that does recognise that when it comes to cultural life, religious life, ideological life, spiritual life, individual freedom, the function of the government is to protect And to serve that the role of people in positions of government is a subordinate position of service.
00:45:35.000Now Donald Trump's face is not the first one that comes to mind when you think of a subservient leader.
00:45:42.000And indeed, for me, this is not the perfect election but it couldn't be more perfect in so much as I don't vote in American elections because I'm not an American citizen.
00:45:53.000What I see vividly and clearly and what I'd like to invite people Who still vehemently oppose Trump to see is that we have in new corporatism, new globalism, new technology, new nihilism, new loathing of nature, of humankind and of the family and many of our sacred institutions that claims to be built upon compassion but is built instead on a kind of dark nihilism.
00:46:21.000And not the threat that is easily identifiable and as vivid as the bold black, white and red of 20th century despotism.
00:46:30.000Not the vivid and clear tyranny of the Stalins and the Hitlers.
00:46:35.000Something that is not so easily personified.
00:46:38.000Something that is like a fugue of tyranny passing through institutional and bureaucratic classes like a toxic fart of propaganda and lies and requires therefore A great aesthetic and fantastic fireworks and distraction and total media support and the ability to use the judiciary as a weapon.
00:47:00.000I'm saying that what we face from these institutions that are corralled together under the Democratic Party and seem so vividly present At that recent convention are a far greater threat to your freedom and to world peace and to free speech and to child health than anything that could happen as a result of an alliance between Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump and the increasing number of affiliates that appear to be joining that
00:47:29.000Clearly imperfect movement, but it's not a movement that needs to compete with perfection.
00:47:35.000It's a movement that needs to compete with propaganda, hyperbole, and some kind of dreadful, dreadful technological feudalism that, in my view, has to be stopped.
00:48:12.000I'm going to do a live stand-up show in a minute.
00:48:14.000If you're on Awake and Wonder, straight after this, I'm going to be going over there, doing a stand-up comedy show.
00:48:19.000Totally live, totally spontaneous, total audience interaction.
00:48:23.000And if you are on Awake and Wonder, you can write in and get a ticket.
00:48:26.000You can come and see me live anywhere in the world.
00:48:29.000You know I'm going to be in Phoenix appearing with Tucker.
00:48:31.000On the 4th of September, and I will be doing some more live shows over that period.
00:48:36.000And as an Awakened Wonder, you can get access whenever you want.
00:48:39.000We're also planning many more specials.
00:48:42.000We're gonna bring together Oracles, a consortium of wise minds, to offer us the true insights that we require.
00:48:50.000I'm talking about your Callie Meanses, your Mike Benzes, your Jay Bhattacharyas, people that you can rely on, on trust, that have stood the test of time.
00:48:57.000So, consider becoming an Awakened Wonder now for a small subscription fee.
00:49:02.000You get additional access to the content we make and you get direct access to me, whether that's live, online, or live in person.
00:49:10.000Here's a moment from my recent chat with Jay Bhattacharya, one of the heroes that emerged from the pandemic period.
00:49:16.000In this conversation, What did I like about it?
00:49:20.000I like this moment here where he talks about the government being like a mob.
00:49:23.000I just had a chat right now with Michael Francis.
00:49:25.000You'll be able to see that conversation first on Locals.
00:49:28.000That'll be up on there in a couple of days.
00:49:29.000And Michael Francis talked about how democracy now is so reminiscent and plainly referencing the crime syndicates in which he, to use their phrase, made his bones.
00:49:42.000Well, Jay Bhattacharya made a comparable point that What we have now is what amounts to racketeering.
00:49:49.000It's a lovely little operation you've got there.
00:50:25.000And the social media companies, if they were to say, you know, or else, or else, the or else would be, you know, we have regulatory power over you.
00:50:38.000...legitimate scientist, outspoken man, brilliant speaker, communicator and academic who was censored, condemned and smeared during the pandemic period simply for telling the truth.
00:50:51.000It's become clear The idea that we're living in a maelstrom of mad and maddening propaganda.
00:50:57.000Did you see Bill Maher and Quentin Tarantino chatting together?
00:51:00.000It's interesting to hear Quentin Tarantino's take on almost anything.
00:51:04.000He's a brilliant communicator and as a devout Democratic Party member and Kamala supporter, he endorsed the idea that she never give interviews.
00:52:06.000I like Bill as a human being a great deal.
00:52:09.000Talking about whether or not Kamala should give interviews.
00:52:13.000You've doubtless been subjected to many of the peculiar moments of her behaving spontaneously and questioned whether or not there are influences other than the deep state blob manipulating her neurological pathways.
00:52:30.000So, Many questions when it comes to that.
00:52:34.000But one thing it appears to have been agreed on is they want to minimize her contact with the electorate.
00:52:41.000They don't want Kamala Harris popping up on TV spontaneously, appearing in front of the likes of you and me, shooting the breeze so free and easily.
00:52:50.000They want that controlled and they want that curtailed.
00:52:53.000Well, Let's have a look at Quentin Tarantino and Bill Maher talking about the strategy.
00:53:02.000This is not a movement that believes in free speech or children's health or ending war or any of those things.
00:53:07.000Those are free policies that you can take to the bank with Bobby Kennedy's announcement that he'll be joining Trump's presidential campaign and eventually, one hopes, government.
00:53:18.000Let's have a look at Tarantino and Ma discussing this before we get to our main story tonight, Bongino's testimony and the potential for yet another Trump assassination attempt if the Secret Service doesn't radically change.
00:53:31.000First though, here's Tarantino and Ma.
00:53:34.000The bigger issue is the left and their ability or their desire to engage with anyone who's not already in the bubble.
00:53:46.000And they get a big fat D minus on that.
00:55:16.000There's nothing you said that isn't right.
00:55:20.000And there's definitely nothing you said that isn't right in a normal election cycle.
00:55:26.000I mean, it's irrefutably right in a normal election cycle where you have a year to set your case.
00:55:37.000I think it's just all about winning the fucking election, alright?
00:55:40.000And then the easiest path to winning the election... Look, you can talk about maybe she should have had more guts about this or that and the other, but we're the fucking president.
00:55:56.000What most people don't give the Democrats enough credit for, alright, but we give the Republicans credit for, it's like, no, sometimes it's just about fucking winning.
00:56:07.000And it doesn't matter how we look at this moment.
00:56:32.000So it's kind of strategic according to Tarantino who just wants to win.
00:56:37.000I feel like looking at it as if it's a sport is the kind of voiding of nuance that's helped to get us in this terrible mess along with the incessant unending blizzard of data that we're all supposed to contend with.
00:56:56.000The havoc of online news, the inability to focus on true fidelity, something that actually
00:57:03.000means something, something that's drawn from and derived from simple universal principles.
00:57:09.000You know me, I don't want to bang on about it, but I tell you, it's easier living in
00:57:24.000I don't mean I'm not interested in talking to you if you're an atheist or a materialist or a Muslim or a Jew or Buddhist or New Ageist or whatever.
00:57:31.000It doesn't, you know, of course I respect your freedom.
00:57:35.000In fact, that's what this channel is about.
00:57:37.000But when I hear that kind of excitement about worldliness, just like we're going to win, where is that drawn from?
00:57:48.000Think about what's happening in the Middle East right now.
00:57:51.000There's just endless brutality and chaos and mindlessness and corruption and the idea that Kamala Harris, a person who's already in office...
00:58:01.000Represents a kind of change or evolution or advance?
00:58:06.000I don't understand it because I know Quentin Tarantino must- I've only met him once, briefly.
00:58:37.000Is this... How can you get so excited about any of this stuff?
00:58:41.000This is all so berserk and so bizarre and so ludicrous.
00:58:45.000What we have to think, I suppose, is if you really want change, how can you achieve change by voting for someone who's like the Vice President right now, whose alignment with Biden is so consistent that they haven't even bothered to cross his name out in their pre-convention documentation?
00:59:02.000So, if it's change you believe in, if it's new alliances and a kind of new type of politics, which I guess I was slow to realise Trump to a degree represented.
00:59:12.000People are very keen to frame it as a throwback to ethnocentric nationalism and militarism.
00:59:19.000As espoused at the end of the 20th century, but it's kind of new emergent post-globalist populism.
00:59:24.000And if you fold into that figures like Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy, you might have something really, really interesting.
00:59:31.000Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:59:35.000The news cycle moves so fast these days, it seems like millennia ago.
00:59:41.000that we heard the crack of a gunshot the turn of a head a blood-soaked man arises from behind a pulpit to clench his fist and say fight fight fight moments before appearing in a photograph that Indifferent times would have defined the rest of the election cycle, but this is 2024, and time ain't like that anymore.
01:00:07.000Well, Dan Bongino, fellow Rumble creator and former Secret Service member, has appeared at a hearing to unpack and understand those events of J13, and he believes it could happen again.
01:00:23.000There could be another assassination attempt before the election.
01:00:27.000Now let me know in the comments in the chat, while you give me a like and subscribe if you'll be so kind, if you believe that's possible or plausible.
01:00:34.000And let's have a look at a compilation of Dan Bongino's moments as we promised you in the title of this Live show.
01:00:41.000Let me know what you think about this, and let me know, do you believe that the Secret Service, like the CIA, like all government institutions, requires a reckoning and a deeper understanding?
01:00:52.000And let me know, do you think it's possible that this could happen again?
01:01:00.000With that, I'll turn it over to our subject matter experts, beginning with Mr. Bongino for opening remarks.
01:01:07.000Listen, let's just get right to the point.
01:01:08.000This was an apocalyptic security failure.
01:01:11.000A man was murdered in front of his family.
01:01:12.000Three people were shot on live television, including President Trump and the head who came within two millimeters of having his head explode on national television in front of millions of people.
01:01:25.000Unfortunately, as Congressman Crain and Mills both indicated, the story seems to have been vanquished to the phantom zone of media coverage.
01:01:34.000It's amazing how we're still talking about JFK's assassination, but nobody seems to want to talk about President Trump being shot in the head on national television, despite the fact that we have no answers.
01:01:43.000So I have five minutes, so I want to keep it quick, and I want to make three points.
01:01:50.000I worked with some really amazing men and women.
01:01:52.000But they have three institutional problems, I believe, in the macro will help us get to the bottom of how this Secret Service apocalyptic failure won't happen again.
01:02:01.000First, they have a technology problem.
01:02:04.000The joke in the Secret Service, which is sadly no longer funny when I was there, and it wasn't funny then either, is they rely on yesterday's technology tomorrow.
01:02:17.000Everything from computer systems at waste agents' times, filling out time and attendance records they were doing, to Congressman Crane and I discussing the fact that they only implemented slings, a technology as old as the wheel, about, I don't know, five or six years into my time in the Secret Service, which is embarrassing.
01:02:38.000These are things I would have talked about sooner if they didn't create a security crisis, and I obviously didn't want to air them publicly.
01:02:44.000Now you're seeing what happens when you don't have a drone up at a site you could have bought for $39.99 on Amazon Second.
01:02:51.000Another adage in the Secret Service you've heard even the new acting director discuss is the more with less approach.
01:03:29.000And sadly, I'm glad this is all being recorded because when something else happens, and I hope it doesn't, I pray to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that I'm wrong.
01:03:38.000That you play this and go, look, that guy was crazy.
01:03:40.000You think this is the last incident and you're out of your mind.
01:03:43.000We have seen these incidents over and over.
01:03:45.000We saw the Georgia grenade incident with President Bush.
01:04:14.000She'll go get some cushy job somewhere, and her deputy, who is one of the guys behind these stupid, waste-of-time things like agents wearing red ties on the detail... This actually happened, by the way.
01:04:29.000These people will tell you this on the road if you get the right people.
01:04:33.000He was concerned about the tie color of the agents on the detail because it seemed to imply he supported President Trump.
01:04:44.000This is the kind of stuff the Secret Service Whether it's the ineptitude or something more insidious that led to that assassination attempt is something for us, I suppose, to all consider.
01:04:54.000and counter-sniper assets from probably the most threatened man on earth.
01:04:57.000If you can explain it, then good luck, because that's not the agency I work for.
01:05:01.000Whether it's the ineptitude or something more insidious that led to that assassination attempt
01:05:08.000is something for us, I suppose, to all consider. I found it fascinating that Trump himself
01:05:15.000recently said, "Well, they don't seem to like me very much."
01:05:27.000And even that was reported by legacy media as Trump supporting conspiracy theories that the Deep state tried to have him killed.
01:05:35.000The fact is we now know, in part because of stories we've already looked at today, that deep state agencies do indeed, it appears, although it is difficult to corroborate for reasons that are obvious, i.e.
01:05:47.000they control information, they control media, they control the judiciary, they have incredible control, participate in the assassination of their enemies.
01:05:57.000In fact, part of Trump's assent was fueled by his ability to call out and say in public things that many of us have long suspected but you just don't see politicians say publicly.
01:06:12.000I was struck of course as I've said before by Chappelle's SNL monologue where he said the reason that Trump has such popular appeal is because he's like someone who's showing you inside these institutions.
01:06:26.000The legacy media are obsessed with the failings and shortcomings of Donald Trump.
01:06:32.000They're obsessed, in fact, with the maintenance of the kind of power upon which their model is built.
01:06:39.000A model that cannot withstand challenges from independent media, that cannot withstand the challenges of new Alliances that come out of independent political space.
01:06:49.000I know a lot of you watching this will say, it's not independent enough.
01:06:53.000Tulsi Gabbard, she's an institutional figure.
01:06:55.000Bobby Kennedy's an institutional figure.
01:06:57.000But man, if you read the real Anthony Fauci by Bobby Kennedy, you will have to recognize this is a man who's not only vigorous when it comes to research, but pretty outspoken on some complex issues.
01:07:08.000And even though you might perhaps not agree with him on everything, maybe there are Military and geopolitical issues about which you have doubts.
01:07:17.000If what you're interested in is progress, you would have to consider that perspective.
01:07:22.000Let me know whether or not you have a strong counter-argument to that, and particularly if you're someone who supports the Kamala Harris campaign, what the point of difference and distinction is Now, now that we've all learned as much as we have.
01:07:37.000So whilst this is a fascinating hearing, it looks like undertaken in some part by the Heritage Foundation.
01:07:45.000Many will point out the connections between the Heritage Foundation and that great bugbear of the Democratic Party Project 2025, which appears to be radioactive to their way of life.
01:07:58.000I'm pretty grateful to see Dan Bongino assessing a subject about which he knows a great deal, and a subject about which he's proselytised with great...
01:08:11.000He's been very articulate on this subject.
01:08:13.000He's helped me to understand that something unusual happened and he's really understood, I think, the necessary nuance when it comes to criticizing members of the Secret Service.
01:08:22.000Some of you may have seen he's reporting at the RNC where he said, hey listen, I don't want to condemn the individuals because those are men and women that are willing to give their lives and that are dedicated professionals and devoted and I thought that was pretty admirable that he took that position.
01:08:37.000But to hear him say that Trump's life May yet be threatened again prior to November the 5th.
01:08:55.000Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
01:08:59.000Now, listen, if you're not on Awake and Wonder yet, you should consider becoming one because we are going to be doing a live-streamed stand-up show exclusively for our Locals members in just over 30 minutes.
01:09:15.000And you'll see me just live having fun.
01:09:18.000Another of the advantages, if you consider it that, of being a local member is you get to see my stand-up breakdowns where I look at some of my favourite comics, comedians and comedy heroes doing their best work and having a look at why I think it functions so well.
01:09:32.000So, if you have more time in your day for yet more media, consider becoming an Awaken Wonder.
01:09:38.000And if you fancy coming to one of my live shows, one of the advantages is that you can claim a ticket for free and come see me anywhere in the world, as long as it's my shows.
01:09:46.000Although I bet I could get a handful for that Tucker gig.
01:09:49.000I bet I could get that for Locus members.
01:09:52.000So yeah, consider becoming an Awaken Wonder.
01:09:54.000If you're watching on Rumble, we'll post it in the chat.
01:09:56.000We'll be back Tomorrow, which is Friday, I'm going to be chatting to Tony Robbins about a new film that he's involved with that could be the new Sound of Freedom.
01:10:05.000So you're going to want to join us for that.
