00:00:48.000 Hello, you Awakening Wonders!

00:00:50.000 Thanks for joining me for today's fantastic show.

00:00:53.000 It is going to be magnificent.

00:00:55.000 Obviously, the entire conversation cannot be held here on YouTube, if that's where you're watching it, because it becomes too powerful, too truthful.

00:01:03.000 Remember, here on Rumble, what we're interested in is spreading, not misinformation and disinformation, but truths that are challenging to centralised authority.

00:01:13.000 There's a red button on your screen right now.

00:01:14.000 Press it and join us on Locals.

00:01:16.000 Become a member of our community so that I can see your comments and questions as they come up live.

00:01:22.000 Today our special guest is journalist, photographer, filmmaker and author Laura Dodsworth.

00:01:28.000 We talked about her book, A State of Fear, how the UK government weaponised fear during

00:01:32.000 the Covid-19 pandemic.

00:01:34.000 But wherever you're watching this in the world, America, Canada, some nation in Africa, Latin

00:01:41.000 America, Scandinavia, wherever, you will notice that your government to varying degrees use

00:01:46.000 nudging, behaviouralism, propaganda and in some cases downright lies.

00:01:51.000 Allegedly!

00:01:52.000 Allegedly, in order to control you.

00:01:55.000 Obviously, we cover topics that we cannot discuss on YouTube.

00:01:58.000 As you know, the WHO's still got their sticky little fingers in that platform.

00:02:02.000 So, we'll be clicking over exclusively onto Rumble, around 15 minutes, when I'll be asking some important questions about images from horror, downright propagandist lies, and all sorts of stuff.

00:02:15.000 If you're watching this on YouTube, there's a link in the description.

00:02:24.000 Join us.

00:02:25.000 Let's establish semi-permanent communities.

00:02:27.000 Let's have a look at Laura. 0.99

00:02:28.000 The government operationalised a campaign to make everybody frightened.

00:02:32.000 Laura Dosworth, writer, photographer and filmmaker.

00:02:35.000 She's written for the Sunday Times, The Telegraph and The Spectator.

00:02:38.000 A State of Fear.

00:02:39.000 A controversial book, A State of Fear.

00:02:42.000 Was it favorably reviewed by the mainstream media?

00:02:44.000 One of the worst book reviews known to man in the times.

00:02:47.000 So, what was covert, Laura?

00:02:49.000 To not mince our words, the government used fear to control you.

00:02:52.000 In order to make those people afraid, you have to deceive them.

00:02:56.000 In our time, and who'd have thought that we'd see it, we've seen the mass evocation of fear, I can never trust centralised authority again in any form.

00:03:05.000 trust centralised authority again in any form.

00:03:09.000 The most basic of freedoms you took for granted are not real at all.

00:03:14.000 If you don't want to turn off the TV you have to watch it mindfully.

00:03:18.000 You have to understand that it's not a one-way process.

00:03:21.000 They're trying to influence you as much as entertain you.

00:03:25.000 I wonder if you have concerns about what the next steps will be.

00:03:28.000 Well, what's next is the story of humanity.

00:03:31.000 It always has been, it always will be the same.

00:03:33.000 People can be manipulated.

00:03:36.000 Stay free with Russell Brand.

00:03:37.000 See it first on Rumble.

00:03:38.000 Thanks very much for joining us to talk about this book, A State of Fear, which is a best-selling book, I understand, Laura.

00:03:45.000 It was.

00:03:45.000 It was on the Sunday Times Best Seller list for four weeks.

00:03:48.000 Was it favourably reviewed by the mainstream media?

00:03:51.000 That's funny you should ask.

00:03:53.000 Well actually, it's had really great reviews.

00:03:55.000 Before I launch into some of the bad reviews, I shouldn't just start off with doing my own book down, should I?

00:04:00.000 It had great reviews.

00:04:01.000 You know, Lord Sumption called it an important book.

00:04:03.000 It had reviews in Telegraph and the European Journal of Psychotherapy, some great reviews, but the Sunday Times bestseller list didn't actually protect it from one of the worst book reviews known to man in the times.

00:04:19.000 Objectively one of the worst ever ones.

00:04:22.000 Well maybe I'm not very objective as the author but it wasn't a great review.

00:04:25.000 The much much mention was made of my previous work.

00:04:28.000 There's one book where I photographed and interviewed 100 women about their vulvas,

00:04:33.000 their vaginas for an exploration of womanhood and you might have read the review and think 0.99

00:04:38.000 that in real life I'm followed around by a chorus of high-kicking vaginas. 1.00

00:04:42.000 I'm never without my vaginas. 1.00

00:04:43.000 It was a very kind of obvious attempt to demean me to delegitimize my new book. 0.99

00:04:50.000 Mate, look here.

00:04:52.000 We've got, uh, this is a quote from the advisor on SPIB.

00:04:56.000 Do you know what that is, advisor on SPIB?

00:04:58.000 Are we talking about, like, that nudge unit and all that type of stuff? 0.68

00:05:00.000 I know exactly what this is because this is somebody that I interviewed for my book.

00:05:06.000 SPIB is the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours.

00:05:10.000 They're a group of social scientists, behavioural psychologists, various social scientists, and what they do is give the government advice Um, in times of emergency, such as a pandemic.

00:05:24.000 And I interviewed several of them when I was researching my book, A State of Fear.

00:05:29.000 And this one here broke cover, actually, to speak to me because he was so concerned about the way the government was using fear and behavioral psychology.

00:05:39.000 I mean, to not to not mince our words, the government used fear to control you in lockdown.

00:05:44.000 That's fascinating, and in a sense perhaps it's something that we would have anticipated and something that we can appreciate.

00:05:50.000 Sometimes I try to approach the extraordinary events of the last couple of years in good

00:05:55.000 faith, not to the denial of what is evident and plain, that there have been regulations,

00:06:01.000 legislations and advantages that have been accrued through that period that appear to

00:06:07.000 point to an agenda, but at least not to lead to conclusions.

00:06:12.000 Perhaps you and I together, through the course of our conversation, can highlight a case

00:06:16.000 for how the pandemic was a revealing period, how we learned about how power functions,

00:06:21.000 how we learn about how propaganda operates and how we are manipulated, how our behaviour

00:06:26.000 is affected by messaging.

00:06:27.000 Starting with this quote, Laura, that we've just referred to, the way we've used fear

00:06:32.000 is dystopian.

00:06:33.000 We have a totalitarian government in respect to propaganda, but all governments engage

00:06:36.000 with propaganda.

00:06:37.000 The use of fear has definitely been ethically questionable.

00:06:40.000 It's been like a weird experiment.

00:06:41.000 Ultimately, it backfired because people became too scared.

00:06:45.000 So there was an explicit intention to use fear.

00:06:48.000 It's interesting to note that in the end we're dealing with a basic palette of emotion, rage

00:06:52.000 and fear and shame.

00:06:54.000 Even when something feels secular, mechanical and bureaucratic, its resources are quite

00:06:59.000 emotional and deep.

00:07:01.000 That obviously raises ethical questions.

00:07:03.000 Do you think that there was an ethical breach in the way that this pandemic was handled?

00:07:08.000 Do you think that they understood things that they didn't convey?

00:07:10.000 And do you think that they highlighted aspects of the pandemic, whether that's medically or socially, in order to pursue a gender that was not plain or explicit?

00:07:20.000 Wow there's so much to pick up on there but I'm going to go back to your first point that you approach this with good faith and I think that's really important because when I wrote the book there were a lot of people that just said to me well why?

00:07:31.000 Why would the government use fear as though it had to indicate that there was some evil conspiracy theory or agenda?

00:07:38.000 You know there may or may not be but there's a very simple answer to the question and that is that governments use fear because it encourages compliance.

00:07:47.000 There is a gap between your rational thoughts and your suppressed emotions.

00:07:51.000 And it's that gap that allows governments or any would-be manipulator to control you, to manipulate you, to exert undue influence on you.

00:07:59.000 And fear is the steam in the emotional engine.

00:08:01.000 Fear is the big one.

00:08:03.000 Is it a breach of ethics to use fear?

00:08:05.000 I think this really depends on where you sit personally and ideologically.

00:08:11.000 I would probably put myself right at one end of the spectrum that says you should not use fear to control people.

00:08:17.000 It is unethical.

00:08:18.000 If this was a laboratory experiment, if a psychologist wanted to put their fingers in your brain, reach around and use fear to control you to see what happens, Then they would need to go through an ethics approval procedure.

00:08:33.000 You would sign a consent form.

00:08:34.000 None of us signed consent forms at the beginning of the lockdown, did we?

00:08:38.000 And what's more, at the end of the experiment, they would make sure that you left happy.

00:08:42.000 You know, you would probably watch a rom-com and have a slice of chocolate cake.

00:08:45.000 They wouldn't send you out a gibbering wreck with COVID anxiety syndrome.

00:08:50.000 There was never any end to this.

00:08:53.000 The advisors that I interviewed for A State of Fear, the ones who spoke to me on the record and those who spoke to me anonymously, I asked them all, what is the plan for de-escalating fear?

00:09:06.000 And there was no plan.

00:09:07.000 What really worried me and sent chills down my spine actually were a couple of advisors who were not only very content with the use of fear because they thought it was proportionate in a pandemic, because pandemics are frightening, but they said, well hang on a minute, why would we de-escalate fear?

00:09:23.000 We will move from this to the next crisis.

00:09:26.000 Which is climate.

00:09:28.000 And I think that, you know, there is a risk here that governments lean on fear and nudge, which is a form of behavioral psychology and propaganda to shut down debate, legislation, disagreement, in fact, because these covert ways to influence you are successful and they bypass all that kind of procedure.

00:09:46.000 So if you, you know, the The Covid pandemic and the lockdown created what academics have called a window of malleability.

00:09:55.000 Our habits changed and that meant we were ripe for more change.

00:09:59.000 You know, it's a great time then to push the idea of changing habits towards, say, net zero goals.

00:10:07.000 When you say covert, what covert modes were utilised?

00:10:15.000 Do you think that the entire Endeavour is to a degree covert because they were not explicit about their operation.

00:10:24.000 It's obviously incredibly convenient that many of the things that were used to mobilise fear and compliance have subsequently been demonstrably untrue, whether that's the efficacy of the medication... Allegedly!

00:10:43.000 ...or the origins of the virus... Allegedly!

00:10:47.000 Or many of the subsequent measures.

00:10:52.000 So, what was covert, Laura?

00:10:55.000 I think a lot of it is covert.

00:10:58.000 You know, a pandemic is an emergency.

00:11:03.000 But back in February 2020, World Health Organization documents showed that at that point it was very well understood that COVID risk was stratified according to your age and your clinical status.

00:11:16.000 So the elderly or people with particular comorbidities were more at risk.

00:11:21.000 By March 2020, we locked down.

00:11:23.000 And the government's obviously asked this panel, SPI-B, a question.

00:11:27.000 Crikey, what are we going to do?

00:11:28.000 We're going to lock down.

00:11:29.000 We're going to mass quarantine the healthy. 0.61

00:11:31.000 How are we going to make sure people follow this rule?

00:11:33.000 Because it's unprecedented.

00:11:34.000 I know from talking to these advisors, they were worried about things like You know, the poor old working class chap missing football in the pub.

00:11:41.000 You know, it's kind of classist assumptions going on here.

00:11:43.000 And so SPY-B advisors reply with this whole gamut of suggestions.

00:11:47.000 One is that people's sense of personal threat needed to be increased because they were complacent, because they understood the risk to their demographic group.

00:11:58.000 Another way of looking at that is that people understood very well what the risk was.

00:12:02.000 They understood the risk to their age.

00:12:04.000 If I think back to that time, my mum started shielding long before they were supposed to.

00:12:09.000 She's in her 70s, she's got terminal lung conditions, she's poorly, her and her husband hold themselves up.

00:12:14.000 I, on the other hand, was trying to finish a big photography project and I thought, right, okay, you know, my work might be thrown off the table for a while, I'm off, I'm taking some hand sanitiser, I'm going to be careful, I'm not going to go into services.

00:12:26.000 You know, we understood our risk.

00:12:29.000 The Spybee advisors never explained how they would only target the complacent or those at risk.

00:12:36.000 No, what happened was the government operationalised a campaign to make everybody frightened.

00:12:41.000 This isn't unheard of in public health problems.

00:12:43.000 If you think back to AIDS in the 1980s, we were told That everybody would know someone that died of AIDS within 10 years.

00:12:50.000 And that didn't happen, you know, that never came to pass.

00:12:52.000 I don't know anyone, luckily, who died of AIDS.

00:12:55.000 So there's a kind of a trend in public health to increase the sense of risk, to democratise the sense of risk, if you like.

00:13:02.000 So to stop people being complacent, to increase their sense of risk, they did things like ads.

00:13:07.000 You know, nearly a billion pounds was spent across 11 government departments in the UK over three years, most of it on COVID.

00:13:13.000 So many ads, some of them taking quite a horror film aesthetic.

00:13:16.000 They were designed to make you feel that, you know, if your loved one died, it was your fault.

00:13:20.000 You didn't follow the rules.

00:13:21.000 Let's have a look.

00:13:22.000 Thank you, Laura.

00:13:22.000 Sorry to interrupt you.

00:13:23.000 Let's have a look at some of those ads.

00:13:26.000 When it becomes, when in the event that people have correctly deduced that they are not at risk, Then in order to elicit fear, you have to mislead them.

00:13:40.000 So it's not only covert, it's duplicitous at that point.

00:13:44.000 If people have correctly deduced, oh I'm not really at risk so I should go out, in order to make those people afraid, you have to You have to deceive them.

00:13:52.000 Let's have a look at some of these assets.

00:13:53.000 These are obviously assets that are derived from the UK.

00:13:56.000 Why don't you post in the chat some of the assets from your country?

00:14:00.000 They won't regard them as assets, they will.

00:14:01.000 You'll regard them as propaganda quite rightly.

00:14:03.000 So if you're in America or if you're in Canada, why don't you tell us the most egregious examples in your country?

00:14:08.000 Show me what they were using in the US.

00:14:09.000 Show me what they were using all around the world.

00:14:11.000 Because that indicates that there was a degree of cohesion and collaboration transcendent of national sovereignty, which one might argue is appropriate during a pandemic, but possibly had more nefarious ends than, you know, the preservation of human life.

00:14:24.000 In fact, Laura, one of the things that I continually queried is...

00:14:28.000 This seems at odds with how we organize society in other areas.

00:14:32.000 It doesn't seem to me that, broadly speaking, the way we organize society is, all life is sacred!

00:14:37.000 We must protect everyone!

00:14:39.000 That's why our economic systems, social justice systems, are all reflecting this sanctity of human life.

00:14:45.000 Elsewhere, it looks like elitism, control, opportunity for regulation, opportunity for profit, are the mandates that drive the way the culture functions.

00:14:55.000 So look at these.

00:14:56.000 It's good that you mentioned the horror aspect. I know you did some work mate on the red and

00:15:03.000 yellow thing there, like the sort of colours that were used. And we'll break down, like

00:15:07.000 sort of tell, this one see, telling the risk isn't real. What's extraordinary here is

00:15:12.000 all of these require us to accept, and we might have to leave YouTube now guys.

00:15:18.000 We might have to leave YouTube, so there's a link in the description.

00:15:21.000 Join us exclusively on Rumble right now, because I'm going to say things that still, because the WHO's power still extends to the domain of YouTube, where on Rumble we can speak freely to convey love, not to convey hate, to convey unity, not yet more division.

00:15:35.000 The vaccines don't prevent transmission, and we're not trialed to prevent transmission.

00:15:42.000 And asymptomatic people could... 96% of asymptomatic people tested did not spread the virus and there was a type of PCR test available as early as March 2020 that could demonstrate that.

00:15:56.000 So any propaganda predicated on that idea was false.

00:16:00.000 Whether they knew it at the time or not can be contested and can't be proved.

00:16:05.000 But it was false.

00:16:06.000 So anything like telling him I always keep a safe distance, irrelevant in most cases, telling him you never bend the rules, irrelevant in most cases, telling him the risk isn't real, irrelevant in most cases.

00:16:15.000 What's your view of this propaganda?

00:16:17.000 And we'll spin through some of the stills that we have available, guys, while we have Laura.

00:16:20.000 Well, I mean, you make a really good point.

00:16:22.000 We were told that one in three people didn't know they had it, and that was presented as something that was really scary.

00:16:27.000 Wow, you know, you may come across your grandchild, or your lover, or someone you work with, or your neighbor, and they're a biohazard.

00:16:33.000 They won't know they've got it.

00:16:34.000 They could infect you.

00:16:35.000 Another way of looking at that is, one in three people experience it so mildly, they don't know they've got it.

00:16:41.000 But it was twisted around always to be frightening.

00:16:42.000 I mean, those stills we just looked at, they're really grainy, the eyes are looking at you.

00:16:47.000 It's supposed to make you feel like if you've killed, you know, if someone's died, it's your fault.

00:16:51.000 Don't look at what the government might be doing wrong, which is maybe care homes or lack of PPE or hospitals being built like, you know, cities for infection.

00:17:00.000 No, no, no.

00:17:01.000 Don't look at all of that over there.

00:17:03.000 Are you bending the rules?

00:17:04.000 Is it your fault?

00:17:05.000 You're a risk to your neighbour, you're a risk to your loved ones, so it's a responsibilisation.

00:17:10.000 You've got those chevrons at the bottom you pointed out, the yellow and the red and the black.

00:17:14.000 You know, what does that remind you of?

00:17:14.000 Yes, yes.

00:17:15.000 Well, it reminds you of disaster cordons, do not cross, danger, but also a wasp, a wasp sting, this could hurt.

00:17:21.000 You know, everything about the visual is designed to create alarm, to hold you back.

00:17:26.000 Is that what you mean by, sorry to interrupt you again Laura, is this what is meant by nudges?

00:17:32.000 That isn't a nudge.

00:17:33.000 What is a nudge?

00:17:34.000 A nudge is a form of behavioural psychology which is supposed to nudge you into a form of behaviour that is better for you.

00:17:41.000 Because luckily, Russell, there are lots of people that know better than you what's good for you.

00:17:45.000 It's what's called choice architecture.

00:17:46.000 It's supposed to encourage you to make a better choice.

00:17:48.000 An example would be if you're in a shop, putting fruit at eye level and putting chocolate out of reach.

00:17:55.000 Um, an example of a nudge would not be taxing chocolate and making fruit cheaper.

00:18:00.000 So it's not about mandates, it's not about price, it's about encouraging you to make the so-called best choice.

00:18:07.000 And that's all predicated on somebody knowing what's best for you.

00:18:10.000 It's covert manipulation with the assumption that the person making those nudges has the moral authority that I would require before trusting them with making that choice on my behalf, which I bloody well wouldn't.

00:18:24.000 And so this is just good use of propaganda, good use of semiotics rather than nudging.

00:18:29.000 I'd say so, but I think it is, you know, it's incredibly well staged.

00:18:32.000 Look at that.

00:18:33.000 They did these briefings in Downing Street.

00:18:36.000 They'd be well spaced out.

00:18:37.000 They gave it a kind of a military feel.

00:18:38.000 You've got the chevrons.

00:18:40.000 See, when the messages stay home, the chevrons are red.

00:18:43.000 As soon as it's stay alert, which is you can sort of get back to normal life a little bit, it's green, green for go.

00:18:48.000 They'd have these experts, they'd use very martial language.

00:18:51.000 The whole thing was incredibly well staged.

00:18:53.000 And don't forget it was daily.

00:18:55.000 You know, we were bombarded daily with messages about death.

00:18:59.000 We were always told how many people died but never recovered.

00:19:02.000 We were told how many people were admitted to hospital but never left hospital.

00:19:06.000 And do you remember the COVID dashboard that the UK government ran?

00:19:09.000 It was probably the same in lots of other countries.

00:19:12.000 It showed you all these stats, but it didn't show you other key performance indicators.

00:19:16.000 So you'd know how many people died, went to hospital.

00:19:18.000 It didn't say how many children had dropped off the register at school, or how many people had missed their cancer appointments, or what had happened to mental health stats.

00:19:27.000 The focus was always on these very deathly Covid stats, to the exclusion of everything else.

00:19:32.000 It took over the mind.

00:19:34.000 Laura, what I feel is that a helpful analytic tool with the pandemic, and perhaps anything really, is to remove the subject and then observe the behavior around it without the biases that the subject induces.

00:19:47.000 And what you can see here is how power functions when it comes to organizing our reality.

00:19:53.000 You highlight this information, you eliminate this information.

00:19:57.000 We had RFK terrifying array of information to share with us including that a significant amount of the funding for the vaccine rollout, excuse me, came from the military but when it came to the response the military were involved to a sort of like a staggering degree.

00:20:20.000 Like that my first response to this was oh really this is an inadvertent crisis to which authority ...is responding by capitalising on it.

00:20:31.000 Like, oh wow, we've got the opportunity to regulate now, we've got the opportunity to shut down dissent, censor, create protest law, introduce surveillance.

00:20:38.000 But it seems like everything that happened was beneficial when it came to centralised state power and was detrimental to individual freedom and the ability to have an open discourse about the various potential effects. Another bit of information, the Cabinet Office

00:20:56.000 spent £586 million in the last three years with a vast majority going on public health awareness

00:21:00.000 campaigns during lockdown.

00:21:02.000 Let's have a look at that bit of propaganda from Scotland and please post your favourite

00:21:06.000 propaganda in the chat. This is what you mentioned earlier using images from Hora. Can you talk us

00:21:12.000 through this Laura? Yeah, so the images on the left are from a Scottish health, Scottish

00:21:19.000 government health ad showing how Covid can spread.

00:21:22.000 Of course it's all, well, most loosely a metaphor.

00:21:26.000 COVID is not green slime.

00:21:27.000 It doesn't spread around like this.

00:21:29.000 And I remember when I saw it, I thought, God, this is horrific.

00:21:31.000 If I'd seen this as a kid, I know this would have given me nightmares.

00:21:31.000 It's frightening.

00:21:34.000 I would not want to trust it.

00:21:35.000 What we have on the right is what it reminded me of when I racked my brains, which is a scene from The Exorcist, which has an age rating of 18.

00:21:42.000 So, you know, they said these ads were to target 18 and above, but there was no way to stop children from seeing it.

00:21:48.000 And what an ad like that has the potential to do is to disrupt intergenerational relationships long term.

00:21:55.000 I think it's really created a lot of suspicion between people.

00:21:58.000 You know, are we safe?

00:22:00.000 What might we give each other?

00:22:02.000 Can we hurt each other?

00:22:03.000 It's really changed how we go about families, but also waiting for cues from the government.

00:22:07.000 You just mentioned authority before.

00:22:09.000 And I think that takes me back to the existential crisis, this whiplash of shock I felt when we when we locked down.

00:22:17.000 Because before that I'd had this idea that we were free, you know, that I had agency, that I could choose pretty much what I did in my life and that we were part of a democracy.

00:22:28.000 And then an emergency hits and you find out that the most basic of freedoms you took for granted are not real at all.

00:22:36.000 You can be told you can't work.

00:22:38.000 I mean, I'm a freelancer.

00:22:39.000 Lockdown was okay for the laptop middle classes.

00:22:43.000 You know, if you've got a safe job and a nice home and a garden, you might have even quite enjoyed lockdown.

00:22:48.000 In fact, there was an article in the Times this week saying that somebody had lockdown nostalgia.

00:22:52.000 I mean, are you kidding me?

00:22:53.000 Lockdown nostalgia.

00:22:55.000 Lots of people were baking soda bread and forest schooling their kids and it was okay.

00:22:58.000 But for some people, lockdown was a nightmare.

00:23:00.000 They don't have a nice home.

00:23:02.000 They don't have a garden.

00:23:03.000 Maybe people were abused at home.

00:23:06.000 You know, people missed school.

00:23:07.000 You couldn't go and worship.

00:23:09.000 You couldn't date somebody.

00:23:10.000 You couldn't go and see your lover.

00:23:12.000 You couldn't go and see your family.

00:23:14.000 And so these things that we've taken for Although some people did go and see their lovers.

00:23:18.000 Dominic Cummings didn't see his lover.

00:23:22.000 Matt Hancock clearly was breaking lockdown rules.

00:23:26.000 I think I saw him adjust something that could have been a subject for one of your photographs, as a matter of fact. 0.99

00:23:32.000 A hundred of those penises, because some of your portraiture has involved genitalia. 0.97

00:23:37.000 Not yet, Matt Hancock, but it certainly seems like it could be a subject. 0.99

00:23:40.000 There was incredible revelations about the mechanations within government.

00:23:47.000 There were ongoing parties in our country.

00:23:49.000 In America, Gavin Newsom was alleged to have had a...

00:23:53.000 gathering. There are enough examples of people wearing masks for photo ops and

00:23:57.000 then removing them. It's pretty plain that big tech profited.

00:24:00.000 There was the biggest wealth transfer in history and I still think we're

00:24:04.000 unpacking and I sense this intuitively as well as like more in more verifiable

00:24:08.000 ways and let me know in the chat in the comments now. How do you think society and

00:24:12.000 culture more broadly continue to be affected by the events of lockdown?

00:24:17.000 How have your children been affected?

00:24:19.000 Have you known people that have taken their own lives as a result of the psychological impact of being placed on lockdown?

00:24:25.000 What about the fissures that it has put between people from different cultures with different values?

00:24:31.000 It's interesting to note, Laura, that there's a class impact here and that particular effort was made to manage what you might call, in our country, working-class people in America, blue-collar Americans, people that do necessary work, that were temporarily, um, um, what do I want to say, deified, or at least celebrated, before being damned, uh, once again, when it was convenient to do so.

00:24:53.000 In our country, a lot of key workers and health workers were celebrated, primarily through the medium of rainbows and meaningless platitudes, but when it came to paying them more, uh, those, those pay rises were not offered.

00:25:06.000 Uh, 34,000 key workers in New York City, of course, lost their jobs because of a refusal to undertake certain medical procedures.

00:25:14.000 So it seems to me that, taken as a whole, this period of time created a wealth transfer.

00:25:20.000 It creates psychological instability.

00:25:23.000 It creates opportunities for enormous profit.

00:25:25.000 Creates opportunities for surveillance.

00:25:27.000 Creates opportunities to introduce protest laws.

00:25:29.000 Let's not forget what happened in Canada.

00:25:32.000 The trucker protest was used as an opportunity... When working people tried to stand up against the use of emergency regulations, you saw what happened.

00:25:42.000 You saw how they were smeared and criticized and condemned.

00:25:46.000 How technology was used to shut down donations.

00:25:49.000 Many egregious steps were taken to shut down our freedom and to your point, Laura, it shows you actually that freedom is temporal and illusory and takes place within such boundaries that it can scarcely be called freedom at all.

00:26:04.000 I wonder if you have concerns about what the next steps will be, like when you said a minute ago all of the measures came down to individuals.

00:26:11.000 Because you as an individual, a killer, you killed granny. 1.00

00:26:13.000 I think we've got a headline there. 0.99

00:26:14.000 That was our former health minister, now reality TV star, Matt Hancock, was offering up that you're killing your granny.

00:26:20.000 Don't know how you could possibly kill your granny, given some of the revelations that have since come out about the lack of clinical trialing for transmission, and that asymptomatic people were scarcely infectious. 0.99

00:26:32.000 But nevertheless, the propaganda has been spread, and the damage has been done.

00:26:36.000 I know elsewhere, when it comes to matters like climate change, Let me know in the chat where you stand on that.

00:26:42.000 It's normally 15 minute cities, taxes on ordinary people.

00:26:45.000 It's seldom, this is why we are going to control corporations in this way.

00:26:51.000 It's interesting that many of the measures suggested amount to ways of controlling and prohibiting the freedoms of individuals.

00:26:59.000 What do you feel like is the next wave and how do you think it will continue to be utilised, Laura?

00:27:07.000 You said so much I want to bottle it and drink it very slowly, but you know... There's plenty more where that came from, mate!

00:27:14.000 I'm sloshing about in this stuff!

00:27:15.000 I feel like I've been sprayed with a champagne bottle.

00:27:18.000 Okay, so hang on, there's... Do you want a kombucha?

00:27:18.000 Slow down with that.

00:27:21.000 No, I don't, thank you.

00:27:22.000 I like it, but I'm alright.

00:27:23.000 I'm alright.

00:27:23.000 In case it make you burp or something?

00:27:25.000 No, I'm alright.

00:27:26.000 I drank a Diet Coke before I came on.

00:27:27.000 It's a lot less healthy than kombucha, but I'm still battling the burps.

00:27:30.000 Well, I've got to say something about the Matt Hancock thing.

00:27:32.000 Yeah, whatever you want.

00:27:33.000 Because that's evil.

00:27:34.000 I think what he said was nothing less than evil.

00:27:36.000 It's one of the most egregious things that was said. 0.93

00:27:38.000 The idea that a child should feel responsible for their grandparent dying is disgusting.

00:27:42.000 Because a lot of grandparents died.

00:27:45.000 And it wasn't the grandchildren's fault.

00:27:46.000 It's because Covid is particularly dangerous for elderly people.

00:27:51.000 What a terrible thing to say to kids.

00:27:54.000 Just terrible.

00:27:54.000 Just to control them.

00:27:56.000 What an idiot. You're right because actually mate like we're all like quite um what do I say 1.00

00:28:00.000 susceptible to propaganda as discerning adults but children who knows and also I think the

00:28:06.000 contract between us and those that govern us has been irrevocably all

00:28:11.000 altered, broken, I might argue, I can never trust centralised authority again in any form.

00:28:18.000 This is why I think judiciary will always be questioned, the media will always be questioned,

00:28:22.000 the results of elections will always be questioned, because we've just seen again and again and 0.98

00:28:26.000 again that there is literally no reason to trust them unless you're absolutely fucking 0.96

00:28:31.000 terrified. Unless you're terrified to the point where you're like, oh god, just look

00:28:34.000 after me, daddy. You know, there's no point in paying any attention at all.

00:28:38.000 Lots of people are like that, but I mean, if you look at this front, you've got your

00:28:40.000 own butcher, you've got some bottled water, we're in a very lovely studio in a beautiful

00:28:43.000 part of the country. Things are okay, we're not on sale.

00:28:49.000 And yeah, we are in this really strange time of an unveiling where we're understanding a lot about what goes on around us.

00:28:56.000 And for me, this has been nothing short of an existential crisis.

00:29:00.000 You know, it really hit me that March 2020.

00:29:03.000 And so when you say, well, what's next?

00:29:04.000 Well, what's next is the story of humanity.

00:29:07.000 It always has been, it always will be the same.

00:29:10.000 People can be manipulated.

00:29:12.000 You know, in our time, in our time, and who'd have thought that we'd see it?

00:29:16.000 We've seen the mass evocation of fear and propaganda to gain compliance for something which nearly all of us were not at risk from.

00:29:24.000 I'm not saying COVID wasn't a serious disease for some people, but I think we've only just swerved terrible times and we see what can happen.

00:29:33.000 You know, you talked about the vaccine before.

00:29:35.000 There were people that were told no jab, no job.

00:29:38.000 They lost their jobs if they don't want to be vaccinated.

00:29:40.000 And there are many reasons an individual might not want to be vaccinated.

00:29:44.000 You know, there are still countries, I think the US has only just lifted its ban on federal, like federal workers were sacked if they weren't vaccinated.

00:29:54.000 And you couldn't visit the country unless you were vaccinated.

00:29:56.000 They've only just lifted that.

00:29:58.000 Think about Canada, like you said, you know, the truckers who didn't want to be vaccinated, they had their accounts frozen and people who supported the GoFundMe had their accounts frozen.

00:30:07.000 So we've seen how unvaccinated people can become A minority which is scapegoated and harmed.

00:30:16.000 And that was deliberately leveraged as well.

00:30:19.000 You know, you had the Covid hero versus the Covidia.

00:30:23.000 And how can that be done?

00:30:24.000 Well, that's done because once upon a time, the enemy was a country that would drop a bomb on you from another country, right?

00:30:31.000 A red button over there in some snowy country.

00:30:34.000 Then the enemy was somebody who might strap bombs to their chest, a terrorist.

00:30:38.000 But in the case of a virus, you know, we're all the enemy, we're biohazards.

00:30:43.000 There was a Dutch on TV, Dr. Sarah Jarvis, in 2021 who said, breathing is an offensive weapon.

00:30:50.000 There was one, I was scouring the newspapers at the time for examples of this, there was an Israeli newspaper that called ultra-Orthodox Jews who were breaking the rules, Covid insurgents.

00:31:01.000 and bioterrorists. You know the language that was used to describe

00:31:05.000 human beings for breathing, for moving about, or choosing not to accept a medical intervention

00:31:11.000 was stunning. It was extraordinary to watch how they managed their previous demonization

00:31:17.000 of ordinary people by using perhaps and having not yet caught up with some of the

00:31:24.000 lexical changes that have taken place in recent years to and to recognizing oh no we're condemning

00:31:30.000 people now like of course notably in the United States of America there had to be a great deal of

00:31:35.000 work done in communities of of colour because there's a natural, what do you know,

00:31:41.000 suspicion of centralised authority.

00:31:44.000 And it was interesting to watch that. There's some other comments in our locals chat.

00:31:49.000 If you're not a member of our locals community yet, press the red button on your screen.

00:31:53.000 Join us on locals like Seaboek77 who says, in my experience our local blue collar community

00:31:58.000 refused to wear masks and were sceptical of this whole thing. The middle class went along until

00:32:01.000 it split. Half have woken up and the woke far left white collar are the ones we see driving around

00:32:06.000 wearing masks in their car now.

00:32:08.000 Now certainly it became politicized even prior to the sort of condemnation around Trump.

00:32:13.000 I remember initially Joe Biden being like, openly we can pull up the clip if we want to, Joe Biden saying that he wouldn't take a vaccine until it was verified.

00:32:23.000 And of course people say that they didn't participate in the politicization of the medications or the responses.

00:32:28.000 It was the other side's fault that that happened. 0.97

00:32:30.000 But that's the kind of sort of tribalized chit-chat that don't get us nowhere. It seems to me that it was a great

00:32:36.000 opportunity to control, to demonize, to divide, to censor, to smear, like the

00:32:43.000 Twitter file revelations about true information that was shut down and controlled, the

00:32:49.000 number of highly credible scientists whose contributions to the conversation was shut

00:32:55.000 down, smeared, because it didn't go along with this information. It seems in retrospect, correctly,

00:33:01.000 many people were smeared as being anti-vaxxers. By the way, they changed the meaning of the

00:33:05.000 word anti-vaxxers in the dictionary during that period. So again, as I say, the subject itself is...

00:33:11.000 is of limited interest because we live in a fast-moving time defined by an ever-shifting

00:33:17.000 news cycle. But the behaviour that it revealed is fascinating. We can see how powerful interests

00:33:24.000 will collaborate. We can see how apparently innocuous free-letter global organisations

00:33:29.000 like the WHO are able to assert and continue to assert incredible control over the way

00:33:33.000 the information is promulgated and many of that ain't been rolled back yet. Can I ask

00:33:42.000 you please Laura about forthcoming potential ways to terrify and control the population?

00:33:48.000 I feel like, what's this Time magazine, WHO, this emergency's over, get ready for the next

00:33:54.000 New pandemics are always being rehearsed all over the gaff.

00:33:58.000 They're always spending money doing sort of like weird games to prepare for new pandemics.

00:34:04.000 Some of the anomalies I'd like to point out is when you have the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation significantly donating to the WHO, I think behind only the nation of Germany in their level of donations, I would prefer that elsewhere That organization hadn't invested heavily in vaccines.

00:34:20.000 Now you might say, well that's a cohesive response.

00:34:22.000 They believe in this type of regulation and this type of medical response.

00:34:25.000 But when it is profitable and when it affords that degree of influence, it seems to me like there's a great opportunity for democracy.

00:34:32.000 It seems that what we're being offered in lieu of democracy now is Limited debate within tiny, tiny cubes of discourse while a centralised authority continues to assert its agenda.

00:34:46.000 What do you reckon is going to happen, mate, with, like, forthcoming pandemics and forthcoming, like, climate change type stuff?

00:34:52.000 Well, you know, sometimes I tune out of the specifics because the thing is the principles are always the same.

00:35:00.000 What people won't want to hear, but it's the truth, is that your brain is a battlefield.

00:35:04.000 And it's not just the terrain, it's the target.

00:35:06.000 You are the target.

00:35:08.000 It's governments, it's corporations, would-be manipulators, they all want to influence you.

00:35:13.000 You're subjected to millions of pieces of information every day, and your brain's basically got bouncers on the door.

00:35:19.000 It lets some information in and others, so they're competing the whole time for your attention.

00:35:24.000 And they will compete using emotion.

00:35:27.000 Sometimes it's hope.

00:35:28.000 Do you remember the Obama posters?

00:35:29.000 Just his face with hope underneath.

00:35:31.000 Quite often it's fear.

00:35:33.000 You know, like I said before, fear is the steam in the engine.

00:35:37.000 So, avian flu, monkeypox, climate, blah blah blah, they're all the same.

00:35:43.000 They're using the same techniques to grab you.

00:35:45.000 Think about climate.

00:35:47.000 I mean, here's a few examples.

00:35:48.000 Whatever you think of climate change, and whether it's man-made or not, and what the response is, do you know how they're trying to influence you and manipulate you?

00:35:58.000 You know, scriptwriters for films and series, they're invited to workshops.

00:36:05.000 For instance, there was a workshop for scriptwriters about how to increase vaccination uptake.

00:36:09.000 No way.

00:36:10.000 Did that really happen?

00:36:11.000 I mean, I know people talked about it because on soap operas in the UK, and let us know if this happened in your country, there was just sort of like casual bits of chat about, have you had your booster shot yet?

00:36:19.000 I ain't getting a booster shot, there's no proof that it works.

00:36:22.000 That's a conspiracy theorist!

00:36:23.000 That literally was a scene from EastEnders.

00:36:27.000 That's 100% and it's not new.

00:36:29.000 This kind of thing's been going on for decades.

00:36:31.000 It's the history of the BBC and governments have had hotlines to soap opera managers and broadcasters forever.

00:36:38.000 I think what's different is how out in the open it is.

00:36:40.000 Now I've got documentation about the scriptwriters being invited to talk about vaccination uptake and there was a scriptwriter who spoke to me anonymously, again, because he doesn't want to destroy his Hollywood career, My new book, Free Your Mind, because the stories are just fascinating.

00:36:54.000 When you watch your soap opera for a bit of light entertainment in the evening, I bet you don't, I don't, but millions of people do, switch off, enjoy it, fine, but be mindful.

00:37:04.000 They are constantly trying to socially engineer you.

00:37:07.000 There's a big soap opera here in the UK.

00:37:09.000 They had Just the kind of cheesy vaccination scene you're talking about.

00:37:13.000 Is that Corrie?

00:37:14.000 Coronation Street?

00:37:14.000 The other one?

00:37:15.000 Coronation Street's another one.

00:37:16.000 I was on my EastEnders though.

00:37:17.000 Yeah.

00:37:18.000 So, you know, they had one.

00:37:19.000 There was a couple of ethnic minority characters talking quite virtuously about how they'd had their vaccine.

00:37:24.000 And then a white woman comes onto the scene, ironically called Karen, and she hasn't had it and they call her one of them anti-vaxxers and make fun of her because she's buying cigarettes but she won't get the vaccine.

00:37:34.000 There's loads of that.

00:37:35.000 And when you watch it, it actually feels quite artificial.

00:37:38.000 But in COP26, All of the UK soap opera storylines converged.

00:37:44.000 They crossed over.

00:37:45.000 They mentioned each other.

00:37:46.000 This does not happen without coordination.

00:37:48.000 It was all deliberately to nudge people.

00:37:51.000 into being more worried about climate change.

00:37:53.000 And the reason for that is to soften people up for net zero goals.

00:37:57.000 It's a very contentious political policy which involves a lot of hair shirts.

00:38:01.000 And by the time you get to wear the hair shirt, you'll be glad of it because you'll be cold.

00:38:04.000 You won't be able to afford your heating anymore.

00:38:06.000 The closing credits of EastEnders, this iconic British soap opera, on one episode showed London If sea levels rise by two meters.

00:38:17.000 Now even the IPCC does not say this is a plausible scenario.

00:38:22.000 But the point about using a graphic, you know, we're not in an observable climate crisis in London.

00:38:28.000 We're not wading through water.

00:38:30.000 We're wading through woke, but we're not wading through water.

00:38:33.000 The point of the graphic is to trick you into thinking that this climate crisis is there on your doorstep.

00:38:40.000 One day you might walk out on the cities underwater.

00:38:42.000 Although the Netherlands have managed to hold back rising sea levels with medieval technology, and we've got Thames barriers, you know, it's to frighten you.

00:38:51.000 And think about insects.

00:38:52.000 You know, there's no great clamour among the world's people to eat more insects.

00:38:56.000 You know, we're not all going, oh yes, give me mealworms and crickets.

00:38:59.000 But have you seen how many programmes are talking about using insects, like in cookery programmes or celebrities eating insects from Angelina Jolie barbecuing Tarantulas, which was truly horrific, to Robert Downey Jr.

00:39:13.000 talking about a protein drink that's made from insects.

00:39:16.000 You know, there is some kind of technocratic public policy do-gooders, academics and politicians, that really want you to eat insects.

00:39:25.000 So you'll see it everywhere in the media.

00:39:27.000 Many of these have been regarded as and dubbed right-wing talking points.

00:39:33.000 Let me know in the chat and the comments if you're aware of that.

00:39:37.000 And let me know also how you identify in terms of your political persuasion.

00:39:41.000 My personal belief, of course, is that neither right-wing nor left-wing party organizations are going to deliver to you the individual freedom that you will come to require. I'd love to have a look at

00:39:52.000 that. If you can find that EastEnders scene of the vaccines, that would be fantastic if you can pull 1.00

00:39:56.000 that up and queue it up, have a little look at it before we play it out. That would be fantastic.

00:40:01.000 When you said earlier about the brain, or perhaps more obtusely, but maybe more accurately, it's

00:40:08.000 difficult to say, Consciousness being the battlefield of our current war of information, having moved from the wars against nations, the Cold War already becoming an abstraction to the war against terror, to the war against germs, now the war against ideas and the war against consciousness.

00:40:26.000 It seems to me that it is necessary that we undertake a kind of individual spiritual awakening where we take personal responsibility for our consciousness, where we become aware of when we are responding to fear and when we are responding to desire.

00:40:42.000 This is something, of course, I know a good deal about as a recovering alcoholic and drug addict.

00:40:47.000 I'm well aware of the role of compulsion and the role of stimulation in organizing my behavior.

00:40:54.000 Similarly, though, and blessedly, I'm aware that none of the issues that I seek to resolve externally through material means can ever be resolved in that direction, that without a spiritual awakening, without a willingness to surrender the inner domain to a greater power, I am doomed to be subject to the stimulations, the coordinated stimulations, it seems, that are externally being operated upon us.

00:41:23.000 Now me, I feel like that... The climate change conversation for me is bypassed by reverence and love for the environment that I evolved in harmony with.

00:41:34.000 That I can see that we ought to behave respectfully towards our planet, and that regulation and control, when it comes to the protection and love of our planet and the species that we share it with, should target first and foremost the most powerful corporate entities that currently enjoy significant subsidies from us.

00:41:52.000 Wealth transfer and redistribution of wealth are already taking place.

00:41:56.000 It's just in the upward direction.

00:41:59.000 Don't be mired in the left versus right conversation or paradigm.

00:42:03.000 It's far, far too limiting.

00:42:07.000 And pay attention to the various ways that propaganda can reach you if it doesn't reach you in the rather bold and vivid colors of the, like, wasp spewed propaganda of the British state, then perhaps it

00:42:21.000 will reach you through the gentler propaganda of soap operas.

00:42:25.000 Let's have a look at the clip we were talking about a moment ago, Laura, on EastEnders.

00:42:30.000 This is a British soap opera.

00:42:31.000 I don't know if it has an American equivalent, really. 0.51

00:42:35.000 I mean, I don't know, Beverly Hills 90210, but everyone is ugly.

00:42:40.000 I can't think about how to explain this.

00:42:44.000 I mean, what do they even watch over there now?

00:42:46.000 The Crown, but poor people.

00:42:48.000 I don't know how to describe it other than propaganda with gloomy music.

00:42:53.000 Let's have a look.

00:42:54.000 Let's see that again.

00:42:56.000 Got the second vaccination?

00:42:58.000 Already!

00:42:58.000 I'm good for you!

00:43:00.000 I'll do my first one later today.

00:43:02.000 I'm calling it my superpower.

00:43:03.000 Make me that bit more invincible.

00:43:05.000 Science is a wonderful thing to do.

00:43:08.000 Oh, well, you and me.

00:43:09.000 Oh, don't tell me.

00:43:10.000 Wait, here comes the white working class. 0.94

00:43:12.000 Let's see what they've got to say.

00:43:13.000 They pushed it through too quick.

00:43:16.000 Blood reps, that's what we are. 0.96

00:43:17.000 I ain't having any of that rubbish pumping to me.

00:43:21.000 Can I get my phone, please?

00:43:23.000 Not ever noting that it's an autonomous choice of an adult to choose whether or not to smoke cigarettes rather than take a particular medication.

00:43:32.000 Now, as Laura was saying earlier, it's individual freedom that is the issue.

00:43:38.000 Forget for a moment what your views are on medication. I'm

00:43:42.000 intelligent enough to recognise that people have a variety of personal conditions, some that might

00:43:47.000 warrant an enthusiastic response to a pharmaceutical intervention, and others that may be

00:43:53.000 more cynical and sceptical. And this is not a reason to be cynical, or let alone hateful to

00:43:58.000 other people. Let me know in the chat and the comments, one of the things that

00:44:02.000 offended me most was the way we were invited to be condemnatory, judgmental and hateful to one

00:44:06.000 another. And it was encouraged, you can see that even with a couple of years of hindsight,

00:44:11.000 that screams propaganda. There's no way that that would automatically unfurl from the

00:44:18.000 keyboard of a staff writer over there at Elstree EastEnders.

00:44:23.000 No, I mean it's painfully artificial.

00:44:26.000 It's embarrassing.

00:44:27.000 And you wonder why the ratings are going down for soap operas.

00:44:31.000 It's because they're shameless propagandists for government public health messaging.

00:44:36.000 And in fact there was a report that came out, I think last year, from the government's nudge unit.

00:44:41.000 And Sky, the broadcaster, and it's called The Power of TV.

00:44:45.000 And it's about nudging people towards net zero.

00:44:47.000 And this is what I mean about it being more in the open.

00:44:50.000 They talk about using the whole gamut of programming from news, which you'd like to think is impartial, to children's programming and cookery, travel, documentaries, product placement, everything in between, in order to make people compliant for net zero policies.

00:45:06.000 It's quite astonishing that it's just out there in the open.

00:45:09.000 And they talk about the historical use of TV for social engineering.

00:45:13.000 So, you know, I would never tell people to turn off the TV, although there is a chapter of my new book with that title.

00:45:20.000 But if you don't want to turn off the TV, you have to watch it mindfully.

00:45:24.000 You have to understand that it's not a one-way process.

00:45:29.000 Influence you as much as entertain you.

00:45:32.000 And actually, you know, you were asking before what the dangers coming up are.

00:45:36.000 I think people don't understand what a pivotal time we're at with artificial intelligence.

00:45:42.000 So at the moment there's a lot of buzz about generative AI, so chat, GPT, BARD, these really fun tools where you can ask it to write you some copy, ask you to write it some text, use it for research.

00:45:58.000 That has the potential not only to be used to generate copy but to manipulate you and nudge you.

00:46:04.000 And I think people don't realize how far we're already in that world.

00:46:08.000 I'll give you one example.

00:46:10.000 Anti-knife crime ads.

00:46:11.000 Now this sounds like, hello doggy, this sounds like a really worthy, it sounds like a really

00:46:17.000 worthy idea that you want to reduce knife crime.

00:46:23.000 But what's happened is the UK government has identified the sort of people that might be

00:46:29.000 at risk of being perpetrators and gets ad serve to them online.

00:46:34.000 So let's say young people that like drill, they've been identified as potential knife crime perpetrators.

00:46:39.000 So they search for drill and they get anti-knife crime ads.

00:46:43.000 Now this sounds great, but what if that person was never going to pick up a knife, was never going to commit a knife crime?

00:46:49.000 They're being followed around the internet by knife crime ads.

00:46:53.000 The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

00:46:56.000 And for all we know, people are getting the idea about knife crime that they never would have had.

00:47:00.000 If I search for knives, I'm probably going to get some really cool Swiss Army knife ads.

00:47:04.000 You know, I'm going to really enjoy it.

00:47:05.000 I'm going to go on some great websites.

00:47:07.000 But somebody who's... I'm not a fan of drill.

00:47:10.000 No, but I do listen to quite a lot of cool music thanks to my sons, but not Drill.

00:47:15.000 But you know, if I was in a city, black, listen to Drill, I'm going to get totally different search results to me.

00:47:20.000 We're in that world now, we're already in that, and what that is reminiscent of is the kind of futuristic surveillance society, you know, that pre-crime, thought-crime territory of films like Minority Report.

00:47:32.000 We're already there.

00:47:33.000 You add in nudge, behavioural psychology, with artificial intelligence and algorithms

00:47:39.000 and people don't understand what kind of personalised, manipulated digital environment they will

00:47:44.000 be in.

00:47:45.000 You and I will be in different digital environments.

00:47:48.000 Like I say, that inner city black youth will be in a completely different digital environment 1.00

00:47:51.000 again.

00:47:52.000 It may all be with worthy, public, you know, worthy goals on behalf of politicians.

00:47:59.000 But we don't know yet how that's going to work out and it's quite insidious because people aren't aware of it.

00:48:03.000 This is why I'm inclined to agree with Vandana Shiva, regular guest on this show, star of Communi2023.

00:48:09.000 There's a link in the description if you want to join us there.

00:48:12.000 July the 14th to July the 17th that we must re-sacralize our planet.

00:48:16.000 I'll plan it.

00:48:17.000 We've only got one, I think, at the moment.

00:48:18.000 Re-sacralize it though.

00:48:19.000 Re-sacralize our relationships.

00:48:21.000 Have an individual relationship with your own consciousness and also pay attention to how you interrelate to the divine.

00:48:28.000 Laura, thank you so much for coming on the show and talking with me today.

00:48:32.000 Laura's new book is available to pre-order now, Free Your Mind, The New World of Manipulation and How to Resist It.

00:48:36.000 There's a link in the description to learn about it now if it's not out yet.

00:48:40.000 Is that in July?

00:48:40.000 Is it out?

00:48:42.000 We'll put a preview link out.

00:48:45.000 Laura, thanks so much for joining me, mate.

00:48:46.000 Thanks for having me.

00:48:46.000 It was a lovely conversation.

00:48:46.000 Thank you.

00:48:47.000 Well done.

00:48:48.000 Stay free with Russell Brand.

00:48:49.000 See you first on Rumble.

00:48:51.000 Be honest.

00:48:52.000 Do you feel just a little bit brighter?

00:48:53.000 Do you feel that all the things you suspected and deep down knew were true?

00:48:58.000 Let me know in the chat and the comments.

00:49:01.000 If you're watching this anywhere other than locals, click on the red button.

00:49:04.000 Become a member of our community.

00:49:05.000 You get all sorts of access to me.

00:49:08.000 Meditations, extra content, and even the opportunity to come here in the livid, lurid flesh.

00:49:15.000 We're gonna take a little break now so as we don't go absolutely crazy from the burden of our endeavor, but when we return on the 5th of June, our guests will include Tulsi Gabbard, Richard Dawkins, Roger Waters, and this just in.

00:49:31.000 Elon Musk will be joining us.

00:49:33.000 Join us next time, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.

00:49:37.000 Until then, here's the news.

00:49:39.000 No, here's the effing news.

00:49:41.000 Stay free.

00:49:41.000 Thank you for choosing Fox News.

00:49:43.000 You're welcome.

00:49:44.000 No. 1.00

00:49:44.000 Here's the fucking news. 1.00

00:49:46.000 The food you're eating is not only causing you cancer, it's also making you stupid. 1.00

00:49:52.000 I'm loving it. 1.00

00:49:55.000 You know food?

00:49:56.000 Yeah, what, food?

00:49:57.000 What I require in order not to die? 0.99

00:49:59.000 That you require in order that you die. 0.92

00:50:01.000 Because most food is now so bad for you, you'd be better off just eating tablets and staring off into limitless space drooling. 1.00

00:50:08.000 A new study suggests that much of the processed food we're eating is not only causing us cancer and diabetes and heart disease, it's also literally making us stupid. 0.96

00:50:16.000 So why are we all eating it? 0.98

00:50:18.000 Good news all round, when you get sick they can sell you the medicine,

00:50:21.000 and you'll be a lot less trouble when they're lying to you the whole time.

00:50:23.000 Let's get into this story.

00:50:25.000 We all know processed foods aren't really good for us physically.

00:50:28.000 So why are we all eating it?

00:50:30.000 Like why are we not using our collective intelligence and the ingenuity,

00:50:33.000 the genius of people that have brought about technological and medical revolutions,

00:50:38.000 to get food in some sort of fit state for human consumption?

00:50:42.000 Why are we still eating food that we know isn't good for us?

00:50:44.000 You know what you're told.

00:50:45.000 Oh, this is a choice that you should make at the level of the consumer.

00:50:47.000 But I also know for basically a fact that it's people that are working all the time, don't have enough money, poor, bored, broken people are eating food that's bad for them.

00:50:56.000 Why are we not spending time looking at ways of growing food locally where possible?

00:51:01.000 Only transporting food around the world when necessary.

00:51:04.000 Having as our aim optimal, healthy, nutritious food for us all.

00:51:08.000 Why are we not doing that? 0.99

00:51:09.000 Because it's not profitable and it's better to have people stupid and sick all the time. 1.00

00:51:12.000 That's the answer, you know that, right? 1.00

00:51:13.000 But new research suggests they could hurt our mental health as well.

00:51:17.000 A new study out of Italy links ultra-processed foods to depression.

00:51:21.000 And some of you out there might be at higher risk.

00:51:24.000 You know that, right, already, don't you?

00:51:25.000 As soon as you eat a bunch of processed food, you eat a bunch of crisps, chips, chocolate, ice cream, whatever, there's the moment, the delicious thrill of hacking through the evolutionary code.

00:51:35.000 Oh my god, I've got all this sugar and fat!

00:51:37.000 But then, I'm not a good person!

00:51:39.000 I'm a failure!

00:51:40.000 I don't believe it!

00:51:41.000 Because you're eating stuff you're not supposed to eat.

00:51:44.000 For hundreds of thousands, collectively millions of years, we ate food that was scarce and difficult to attain.

00:51:50.000 You know I'm a vegan.

00:51:51.000 You know I've got no problem if other people eat meat if that's their deal.

00:51:54.000 But try not to eat heavily processed food, heavily processed sugars and seed oils.

00:51:59.000 These things are killing us.

00:52:00.000 Now, I'm not better than you.

00:52:02.000 I'm doing it as well.

00:52:03.000 But wouldn't it be better if in this issue, as well as other issues, the culture around us helped us?

00:52:09.000 Suggested good things rather than profitable things.

00:52:12.000 So you get some patronizing, why don't you try five a day?

00:52:15.000 But what you don't get is we're gonna control the price of good food.

00:52:18.000 We're going to tax and prohibit food that's bad for you from being sold.

00:52:23.000 We're going to help you. 1.00

00:52:24.000 What's the point in a society if all it does is supports powerful business interests while turning you into a dumb, thick, cancer-ridden lump? 0.98

00:52:32.000 We're eating more processed foods than ever, and ultra-processed food make up nearly 60% of Americans' diets on average. 0.98

00:52:39.000 That's not just processed.

00:52:40.000 That's ultra-processed.

00:52:41.000 Hey, whoa, whoa, where are you going?

00:52:43.000 We've already processed that!

00:52:44.000 Yeah, I know.

00:52:45.000 But we're gonna ultra-process it!

00:52:48.000 A diet heavy in ultra-processed food could be responsible for increasing your risk of depression.

00:52:54.000 I'm loving it!

00:52:56.000 Australian researchers say even packaged products sold as healthy may leave us feeling down.

00:53:01.000 Down.

00:53:02.000 Down under, more like.

00:53:03.000 Have you seen Bluey?

00:53:05.000 These days there's plenty of factory food at our fingertips.

00:53:09.000 Ultra processed foods are typically foods that come in packages and they typically include a long list of ingredients.

00:53:16.000 So things like artificial sweeteners and emulsifiers.

00:53:19.000 So even if you are vegan or you're a carnivore, we're not at war with one another.

00:53:22.000 If you're eating those kind of vegan foods that has that long list, I do sometimes eat.

00:53:26.000 Because they're delicious.

00:53:27.000 Because they're one of the few things that make being vegan bearable.

00:53:30.000 Then you're participating in the problem.

00:53:32.000 You're eating stuff that is not good for you.

00:53:34.000 Society's not going to do it for us, is it?

00:53:35.000 The government's not going to do it.

00:53:36.000 Big corporations aren't going to do it. 0.99

00:53:38.000 We're going to have to do it ourselves.

00:53:39.000 We're going to have to individually awaken and support one another.

00:53:42.000 We're going to have to help one another along the path.

00:53:44.000 We're going to have to check in with one another.

00:53:45.000 Are you eating well?

00:53:46.000 Are you doing alright?

00:53:47.000 Have you had any broccoli today?

00:53:48.000 I've got kids, I know how hard it is.

00:53:49.000 You have to almost hold a gun to their heads to get them to eat a bit of spinach or something

00:53:53.000 green.

00:53:54.000 We're going to have to do this collectively together because they're not going to do it

00:53:57.000 for us.

00:53:58.000 Now Deakin University's Dr Melissa Lane has linked the consumption of lots of packet meals

00:54:03.000 and snacks with having the blues.

00:54:05.000 The blues.

00:54:06.000 Australia, even the news in Australia is so casual.

00:54:08.000 I had the blues so bad that I couldn't stay alive no much longer.

00:54:12.000 He found those whose diets were comprised of at least 30% ultra-processed foods were at much higher risk of psychological distress.

00:54:21.000 Yeah, that's quite significant.

00:54:28.000 You are much more likely to be depressed if you're eating that stuff.

00:54:32.000 Let me know in the chat in the comments.

00:54:33.000 You feeling alright?

00:54:34.000 Is the answer no?

00:54:34.000 Right.

00:54:35.000 Are you eating a lot of processed food?

00:54:36.000 Right.

00:54:37.000 That's part of it.

00:54:38.000 Can you not afford to eat other food?

00:54:40.000 Right.

00:54:41.000 That's another part of it.

00:54:42.000 Do you have no access to delicious organic food that could grow abundantly if we were willing to alter systems that benefit the most powerful institutions and interests in the world?

00:54:51.000 The potential mood-lowering fodder is not just limited to buns and burgers.

00:54:51.000 I don't know!

00:54:56.000 Delicious.

00:54:57.000 I'd love to eat that thing. 1.00

00:54:58.000 If I was in that room, I'd snatch that out of that man's hand, eat it, and then lick what remained out of his mouth. 0.99

00:55:03.000 Things like diet soda, things that we might consider to be relatively healthy for us. 0.98

00:55:07.000 I mean, this all looks normal.

00:55:08.000 Firstly, that's the food I grew up on, and it's still the food I crave right now.

00:55:12.000 While the packet stuff is often cheaper, it's not always the case.

00:55:16.000 This protein bar just cost me $3, compared to this apple, which was 70 cents.

00:55:22.000 Ha ha ha!

00:55:23.000 The mainstream.

00:55:24.000 Do you know what I might do?

00:55:25.000 Chuck it up in the air like that and catch it again.

00:55:28.000 Leading dietician Susie Burrell says there's growing evidence that manufactured food may impact the microbes in our digestive system.

00:55:36.000 We have known for quite some time that a high intake of ultra-processed food has a profound effect on the health of the gut microbiome, which we're learning also has a profound effect over our mental health.

00:55:47.000 Things like microbiomes and gut health and the complexity of biochemistry and the body and our relationship between food, that's stuff that people just didn't talk about that long ago, but isn't it It's sort of odd that stuff your grandparents used to tell you, like eat your greens, eat your vegetables, it will help you grow, has all proven to be true.

00:56:04.000 We evolved in harmony, of course, with the foods that we eat.

00:56:08.000 We are creatures that are products of our environment.

00:56:10.000 Part of the process of civilization is dominion over our environment.

00:56:14.000 In extremis, what that means is we sort of ignore the fact that we had anything to do with it.

00:56:17.000 We're creatures in a zoo.

00:56:19.000 We're no longer aware that we are part of the sky and the trees and the soil.

00:56:23.000 I don't mean this in a hippy-dippy way, just in a factual way that you evolved alongside it.

00:56:28.000 You're supposed to harmonise with it continually.

00:56:30.000 This is not a moral argument about the types of diet you have.

00:56:33.000 This is a financial argument.

00:56:34.000 There are certain financial and economic interests that benefit from you eating certain food, and since the advent of agriculture onwards, whilst it has solved the problem of starvation, it's also solved the problem of Healthiness of eating a varied and balanced diet based on your own personal needs and what your environment wants you to eat because you are your environment.

00:56:52.000 You're not separate from nature.

00:56:53.000 You are nature.

00:56:54.000 You're not separate from God.

00:56:55.000 You are God. 1.00

00:56:56.000 Will you please eat healthy food and try your best to fight against the machine that wants you dumb and stupid and sick and ill? 1.00

00:57:04.000 I'm loving it. 0.99

00:57:05.000 So the fresh advice is If it doesn't look like food, it's probably not a good idea.

00:57:10.000 Let's have a look at some more details around the story of how we're being slowly poisoned and made sick.

00:57:16.000 Like that film The Phantom Fred, where they make us ill so they can look after us.

00:57:19.000 Are you ill mate? Are you not very well?

00:57:21.000 Yeah I could myself a dicky belly.

00:57:23.000 Do you want some medicine? Not really.

00:57:24.000 You're having some!

00:57:25.000 We've known for decades that eating such packaged products like some breakfast cereal, snack bars, frozen meals

00:57:31.000 and virtually all packaged sweets among many other things is linked to unwelcome health outcomes

00:57:36.000 like an increased risk of diabetes, obesity and even cancer.

00:57:40.000 That should just be how it's explained all the time.

00:57:42.000 Hey, you know this stuff causes cancer.

00:57:43.000 It should be like cigarettes.

00:57:44.000 Causes cancer.

00:57:45.000 Causes diabetes.

00:57:46.000 Do you think that the lobbying money that Big Food spends isn't about, could you just slow down the eventual revelation that our product is killing its market? 0.63

00:57:54.000 So we can just wait for a few more to be born, so we can carry on killing them.

00:57:57.000 That's what they're lobbying monies for! 0.99

00:57:59.000 All of Unilever and Kraft and Great Becoming, his own thousands of brands.

00:58:02.000 You shouldn't be drinking Coca-Cola!

00:58:03.000 You shouldn't be eating McDonald's!

00:58:04.000 Of course you shouldn't!

00:58:05.000 You know that!

00:58:06.000 You don't need me to tell you!

00:58:07.000 And if you do need me to tell you, God help you! 1.00

00:58:10.000 Because I'm an idiot! 0.99

00:58:11.000 But more recent studies point to another major downside to these often delicious, always convenient foods. 0.99

00:58:16.000 They appear to have a significant impact on our minds, too.

00:58:19.000 Of course, though, your mind's not gonna be separate, is it?

00:58:20.000 You're not gonna be all eating, like, sugar and processed stuff, and then, like, I have realized there is no boundary to the self.

00:58:26.000 We are continually breathing in and out.

00:58:28.000 We are one.

00:58:29.000 You're gonna be like, oh, God! 0.78

00:58:30.000 I just had a poo and a bit of my bum fell out!

00:58:33.000 Roughly 60% of the calories in the average American diet come from highly processed foods.

00:58:39.000 Research from the past 10 years or so has shown that the more ultra-processed food a person eats, the higher the chances that they feel depressed and anxious.

00:58:46.000 A few studies have suggested a link between eating ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, and increased risk of cognitive decline. 1.00

00:58:53.000 They're making us stupid! 0.99

00:58:55.000 70% of the packaged foods sold in the United States are considered ultra-processed, the vast majority. 0.99

00:59:00.000 They're increasingly edging out healthier foods in people's diets and are widely consumed across socio-economic groups.

00:59:06.000 Even rich people are eating them and they're edging out healthy food.

00:59:09.000 Hey, buddy, would you like to have a banana or a little bit of broccoli, maybe, or a delicious nut?

00:59:13.000 No, thank you. 0.99

00:59:14.000 I think I'm gonna eat this vile, gorgeous, blue shit. 1.00

00:59:18.000 Ultra-processed foods are carefully formulated to be so palatable and satisfying that they're almost addictive. 1.00

00:59:23.000 Do you remember when we all learned that social media sites knew that that action, like, we just couldn't stop ourselves from doing it with such little bloody gorgeous little ape morons. I always suspected that what's happening online 0.98

00:59:32.000 is basically what happens everywhere. That's the way that greed functions. They work 0.99

00:59:37.000 out what's effective and successful and they just continually amplify it and there's no point

00:59:41.000 where they'll cap it and go, is this, have we gone too far now? Ultimately in the end we're

00:59:44.000 just gonna be scrolling and scrolling and consuming blue delicious gunk and just

00:59:48.000 dropping dead of cancer after they keep us alive for about 20 years with very expensive drugs

00:59:52.000 that they could lower the price of but won't.

00:59:54.000 They're making it addictive.

00:59:56.000 It seems that these apes get addicted to stuff if it's too delicious. 1.00

00:59:59.000 Well, hold on a minute, but that means they'll just eat bad stuff all the time.

01:00:02.000 Yeah, I know, but if you price that correctly, that doesn't matter.

01:00:04.000 Yeah, but what about God and the way we should all treat each other?

01:00:07.000 There is no God and nothing matters.

01:00:09.000 Carry on!

01:00:10.000 What does he know?

01:00:10.000 What's wrong with us?

01:00:11.000 Do you know what people don't like?

01:00:13.000 It's real food.

01:00:13.000 that they're almost addictive. It's not almost, they are addictive, said Dr. Eric M. Hecht,

01:00:18.000 an epidemiologist at the Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University.

01:00:22.000 What does he know? The problem is that in order to make the products taste better and better,

01:00:26.000 manufacturers make them less and less like real food. What's wrong with us? Do you know what

01:00:30.000 people don't like? It's real food. What they want is something that looks like a hamburger,

01:00:34.000 but it's made of sugar and dipped in heroin. This is delicious!

01:00:40.000 Recent research has demonstrated a link between highly processed foods and low mood.

01:00:44.000 No way.

01:00:44.000 One 2022 study of over 10,000 adults in the United States, the more UPFs participants ate, the more likely they were to report mild depression or feelings of anxiety.

01:00:54.000 How do you feel after drinking all that black sugary drink and eating all that salty, disgusting processed food? 0.99

01:01:00.000 I'm wondering if I might be another great guy.

01:01:03.000 Uh-huh.

01:01:04.000 How about some more sugar?

01:01:05.000 Okay.

01:01:08.000 New research has also found a connection between high UPF consumption and cognitive decline.

01:01:13.000 How are you feeling after eating all that food?

01:01:15.000 Me no feel bad today.

01:01:17.000 Me feel good today.

01:01:18.000 More burger want.

01:01:20.000 A 2022 study that followed nearly 11,000 Brazilian adults over a decade found a correlation between eating ultra-processed foods and worse cognitive function, the ability to learn, remember, reason and solve problems. 0.99

01:01:30.000 Who needs any of that shit? 1.00

01:01:32.000 Just sit down and eat your delicious sludge, you moron. 1.00

01:01:35.000 Okey-doke! 0.99

01:01:35.000 While we have a natural decline in these abilities with age, we saw that this decline accelerated by 28% in people who consume more than 20% of their calories from UPFs, said Natalia Gomez-Goncalves, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Sao Paulo Medical School and the lead author of the study. 0.99

01:01:50.000 It's also worth considering the possibility that the link between highly processed foods and mental health works in both directions.

01:01:56.000 Diet does influence mood, but the reverse is also true, said Dr. Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard T.H.

01:02:03.000 Chan School of Public Health.

01:02:05.000 When you get stressed, anxious or depressed, you tend to eat more unhealthy foods, in particular ultra-processed foods that are high in sugar and fat.

01:02:12.000 Yeah, I think we all recognize that.

01:02:14.000 Let me know in the chat in the comments.

01:02:14.000 When you feel down and a bit depressed, one of the ways that you might try to soothe yourself or lift your mood is, ironically, by doing the thing that put you in that terrible state in the first place, you beautiful, darved monkey.

01:02:25.000 A study by Imperial School of Public Health found that higher consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with a greater risk of developing cancer overall, and specifically with ovarian and brain cancers.

01:02:35.000 It was also associated with an increased risk of dying from cancer, most notably with ovarian and breast cancers.

01:02:41.000 But do remember, it's delicious and it's highly profitable for the people that make it.

01:02:45.000 How is it they're able to continue doing this when everyone knows that it's bad for us?

01:02:50.000 Why are the government not doing something about it?

01:02:52.000 Surely the government should be operating on your behalf to regulate these industries and ensure that, where possible, we're given the best opportunities to stay healthy and fit.

01:03:01.000 So why is that not happening?

01:03:02.000 Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, AB InBev and 27 other companies spend close to 40 million dollars a year on lobbying in an effort to make their voices heard by lawmakers and regulators.

01:03:13.000 Lobbying just means stopping people doing what they should do and would do if lobbying ended.

01:03:19.000 That's it!

01:03:20.000 And documents released in December show an influential group that helps shape U.S.

01:03:23.000 food policy and steers consumers towards nutritional products, has financial ties to the world's largest processed food companies, and has been controlled by former industry employees who have worked for companies like Monsanto.

01:03:34.000 So the people that go, we are America. 1.00

01:03:37.000 Obviously, you idiots are eating poisonous food that we're selling you. 1.00

01:03:41.000 That's why we, an independent body funded by them, have got some advice about what to do. 1.00

01:03:47.000 Keep doing what you're doing, please.

01:03:50.000 It's bad for us.

01:03:50.000 We don't care about that.

01:03:52.000 Just keep doing it.

01:03:53.000 And thanks for your taxes.

01:03:54.000 The documents reveal the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has a record of quid pro quos with a range of food giants, owns stock in ultra-processed food companies and has received millions in contributions from producers of pop, candy and processed foods linked to diabetes, heart disease, obesity and other health problems.

01:04:13.000 Why is the point of that?

01:04:14.000 What's having the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics owning stock in ultra-processed food?

01:04:19.000 We are here for one reason, and one reason only, to direct you towards healthy food.

01:04:24.000 Also, we do own stocks in very unhealthy foods that have caused this problem in the first place, but do not let that think that that will... What?

01:04:32.000 Sorry?

01:04:33.000 We accept money and we're funded by...

01:04:34.000 Stop eating that good food and eat that food that you're already eating.

01:04:38.000 It's also a way of measuring the disjunct.

01:04:40.000 See, the way you're sold these products, when I think of pop and candy, I think, woohoo!

01:04:45.000 Like, Coca-Cola sold to you.

01:04:46.000 Can you remember a Coca-Cola advert that wasn't, like, just sort of some young, sexy person or a jolly family or Christmas itself?

01:04:53.000 And McDonald's is also full of life and luster and vivacity and good humour and ease.

01:04:58.000 But it's the actual opposite of what's going on.

01:05:00.000 Have you noticed that?

01:05:01.000 Continually through your culture, they tell you this, but really it's that.

01:05:04.000 The Academy accepted at least 15 million dollars from corporate and organizational contributors from 2011 to 2017 and over 4.5 million in additional funding went to the Academy's foundation.

01:05:14.000 Among the highest contributions came from companies such as Nestle, PepsiCo, Hershey, Kellogg's, General Mills, Conagra, the National Dairy Council and the baby formula producer Abbott Nutrition.

01:05:25.000 They always find a loophole.

01:05:25.000 Bloody hell.

01:05:27.000 We have set up an academy to make sure this stuff's happening.

01:05:30.000 Can we fund it?

01:05:30.000 Oh, that's not good.

01:05:31.000 Yes.

01:05:32.000 Okay, carry on then.

01:05:33.000 More than 300 children, including two 10-year-olds, were recently found working at McDonald's restaurants across Kentucky and several other states in violation of federal labor laws.

01:05:41.000 They're selling you bad food, they're exploiting your children, they're lying to you continually, and we're not going to do anything about it because the body that was inaugurated in order to protect you is funded by them.

01:05:53.000 That is how it works.

01:05:54.000 Are you loving it?

01:05:55.000 So there you go, a simple story that shows you how you are being slowly poisoned by delicious foods.

01:06:01.000 In a sense, it's a perfect metaphor for the way that we live today.

01:06:03.000 Things that taste delicious because we were not evolved to have access to them in these proportions are slowly killing us and the government is not going to do anything about it and the corporations aren't going to do anything about it except set up regulatory bodies that are invested in things staying the same.

01:06:15.000 Where's change going to come from then?

01:06:17.000 You and me.

01:06:18.000 But that's just what I think.

01:06:19.000 Let me know what you think in the chat.

01:06:20.000 See you in a second.

01:06:21.000 Good bacteria in your gut can impact every process in your body, even that one.

01:06:32.000 But did you know 99% of probiotics don't even work at all?

01:06:37.000 That's because they don't make it to your gut.

01:06:39.000 They go down the mouth hole, they could end up anywhere.

01:06:41.000 Unlike this smart probiotic by Heitz, the only product on the market that's proven to work by science.

01:06:49.000 Gone are the days of feeling bloated, blocked, and lethargic.

01:06:53.000 And that's thanks to the world's first probiotic that targets gut, mental, and immune health.

01:07:00.000 You little capsule of glory.

01:07:01.000 Boffins, experts, poindexters in the Heitz lab, have shown that 33.9 billion friendly bacteria from this little bottle make it to your gut alive.

01:07:12.000 You're gonna make it, kids!

01:07:13.000 But that's actually 170% more than they claim on the label.

01:07:18.000 This has got to be a first.

01:07:19.000 It's better than they're telling you.

01:07:21.000 Even better, you only need to take one capsule a day, which means you can say goodbye to foul-tasting liquid probiotics like this. 0.99

01:07:29.000 Oh, you dirty devil. 0.99

01:07:31.000 Where did that come from? 1.00

01:07:32.000 An abscess.

01:07:33.000 Take control of your gut health and keep yourself regular.

01:07:36.000 You know what I mean.

01:07:37.000 With the smart probiotic.

01:07:44.000 Now let's go back to that other magnificent young man.
