Kamala Harris's No Troops in a Combat Zone rhetoric, the attack on the New York Constitution, who's misinformation is the worst, and the length that the legacy media will go to discredit Bobby Kennedy. In this episode, Russell Brand explains why a clip like this should be seen as evidence of censorship, and why Hillary Clinton should face criminal charges for spreading it. This episode is brought to you by Awakenings Wonders, a Parcast Original, and produced by Russell Brand and his team at The Parcast Studio. Stay Free with Russell Brand: Stay Free With Russell Brand is a podcast from comedian and actor Russell Brand that explores the world of politics, culture, and pop culture through the lens of humor, satire, and deep analysis. This is a must-listen episode for anyone who wants to know what's going on in Washington, D.C. and why it's important to have a sense of humor about it all, and how to deal with it. Remember, you're not alone, and you don't have to be an American in order to make sense of it all. You have to know who you're dealing with it, and that's why we need to get a grip on it! You're the last line of defense against a dark, dark, globalist power structure, and we must be prepared to stand up and fight back, and speak out against the dark side of the dark globalist agenda, even when it looks like it's the only one we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. You don't need a flashlight to see the future, you need to be a flashlight in the dark, not a telescope to see it in the stars in the dim light. . - Russell Brand. - This episode was produced and edited by David Fincher, and this episode is a special thanks to the brilliant Max Blumberg, Max Blumenthal, Mike Benz, and Kim Iverson, and Mike Benz.

00:02:34.000Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:02:36.000We begin the show, of course, with a deep prayer so that, on some level at least, the divine and sacred forces that undergird all reality may join us as the world slides deeper into an unrecognizable form of madness.
00:02:53.000Have you ever known a crazier, wilder time?
00:02:57.000A time where people make claims that are verifiably untrue.
00:03:01.000We're going to just pause for a moment to look at Kamala Harris's no troops in a combat zone rhetoric.
00:03:06.000We're going to be talking about the attack on the New York Constitution.
00:03:09.000We're going to be talking about who's misinformation is the worst misinformation and the length that the legacy media will go to to discredit Bobby Kennedy.
00:03:18.000In any sensible world the legacy media would right now be saying there is at last a peripheral alliance attacking the establishment.
00:03:25.000People and movements and groups from across the political spectrum are aligning in alliance against what appears to be an attempt to establish technological feudalism of an unprecedented degree.
00:03:38.000The old-school liberals, scamper and type, trying to justify clinging on to the coattails of Kamala as she marches with Macron, Trudeau, Starmer et al.
00:03:51.000towards the technological feudalism that they crave.
00:03:58.000It is down to you and I, quite literally, with all of our flaws, with the knowledge of all of our failings, to stand up against this extraordinary, unprecedented wave of dark globalist power.
00:04:11.000But fortunately, there are some things to be optimistic about.
00:04:15.000For example, Joy Behar doesn't seem to be able to intimidate Usher into saying that he's gonna vote For Kamala.
00:04:25.000We'll be talking to you, Awaken Wonders.
00:04:27.000Remember to let me know in the comments and chat about some fantastic offerings that are coming up, including, and I couldn't be more excited about this, our new Oracles series.
00:04:36.000The Oracles series is where we bring together, for the very first time, experts on a variety of subjects, including those you care about most.
00:04:44.000I'm talking about the military-industrial complex.
00:04:46.000So that we can together communicate and collaborate on solutions while also offering some extraordinary diagnostics.
00:04:54.000I'm going to show you an exclusive clip a little bit later and you will see how the brilliant and often condemned Max Blumenthal, the brilliant Mike Benz and Kim Iverson come together to talk about the Trump shooter and his unique and extraordinary connections to deep state mechanisms And his very unusual social media history.
00:05:16.000Before we get into all that, I'd like to reassure you that there are no- This is particularly going out to troops in combat zones around the world.
00:05:25.000You don't exist, and you certainly do not matter.
00:05:29.000Well, I'll tell you, I agreed with President Biden's decision to pull out of Afghanistan.
00:05:35.000Four presidents said they would, and Joe Biden did.
00:05:39.000And as a result, America's taxpayers are not paying the $300 million a day we were paying for that endless war.
00:05:46.000And as of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world the first time this century.
00:06:06.000Oh, that is going to be very difficult to con- continue to condemn Donald Trump for his terrible attitude
00:06:12.000towards the military or his lack of respect towards veterans, while that clip
00:06:17.000exists out there, made for troops, by troops.
00:06:20.000It's going to be difficult, I would have thought, for Hillary Clinton to continue to condemn those Americans that are spreading propaganda while we have a woman who's campaigning to be president lying to troops about their whereabouts.
00:06:35.000This is why a clip like that shows you why there is an increase in censorship.
00:06:39.000If they had total control of X and Meta etc then that's the very kind of clip that would be discredited and condemned as misinformation.
00:06:48.000Certainly Hillary Clinton wants to create criminal charges and civil penalties against Americans that engage in spreading propaganda and you can bet that the clip we've just watched would qualify as misinformation under the definition of Hillary Clinton.
00:07:04.000elections, just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election
00:07:12.000interference and boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are
00:07:19.000engaged in this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases
00:07:26.000criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence because
00:07:32.000That's extraordinary, isn't it? The attempt to criminalize all inconveniences is one of
00:07:38.000the hallmarks of this new regime that we face.
00:07:41.000We want the ability to enforce vague laws.
00:07:45.000Keep them vague so that we can use them only when we need to.
00:07:50.000I had a brilliant conversation with Majid Nawaz about that very subject.
00:07:55.000It's a brilliant conversation between a British Muslim and, well, me.
00:07:59.000I'm the other person in the conversation.
00:08:00.000Because you get to tackle some of the social tensions and the ideas around them, including migration, Islam, Christianity, secularism, the growing social tensions in my country.
00:08:12.000But I don't know what immigration is like in your country.
00:08:14.000I suspect it's something you care about.
00:08:16.000For this month, for the next week only, if you use the code NAWAZ, N-A-W-A-Z, then you get one month for free.
00:08:26.000So, please, if you want to become an Awakened One, then get access to our content Please use that.
00:08:32.000If I needed to make that any simpler for you and make it a little more patronizing, I could always lean on the skills of Tim Walz's wife, who can make any information at all in the world seem so simple, so accessible.
00:08:47.000Let us turn a new page together into the great encyclopedia of corruption that the globalists want us all to be staggering about beneath the weight of.
00:08:56.000The image I'm using is, you know, when people carry a book on their head.
00:09:10.000I remember feeling patronized by that.
00:09:12.000I remember thinking this is one of those things they think is really clever and that they're gonna repeat ad infinitum, believing it to be some sort of catchy little motif that we're all gonna be sort of swept...
00:09:22.000Yeah, I do want to turn the page on my life.
00:09:25.000Things have gotten a little bit tiresome.
00:09:29.000Life is like a book where you can turn pages.
00:09:31.000This is the ongoing infantilization of the electorate, whereas independent media grants us the opportunity for open discourse, sometimes carooming and rambling, but always respectful.
00:09:44.000I hope on this channel, for example, we always approach our conversation As equals communicating, often on subjects we disagree.
00:09:51.000That's why you'd like that Majid Nawaz conversation, because I know loads of you will disagree with loads of it.
00:09:56.000Like with the Matt Walsh conversation I had previously.
00:09:59.000In fact, isn't instantaneous communication and the miracle of a kind of omnipresent communication network, that isn't part of that, the recognition that there are no longer polarizing discourses, there are nebulous networks of agreement that can Appear and become, not enforced or imposed, what do I want to say?
00:10:24.000That can be developed in order to oppose centralism.
00:10:28.000That's why I'm so excited about Bobby Kennedy joining the Trump movement.
00:10:32.000That's why I'm excited about Tulsi Gabbard joining the movement.
00:10:35.000And there are two stories about each of them coming up.
00:10:38.000Before we leave you on YouTube, we'll be offering about Five minutes.
00:10:42.000I want to introduce you to a little message from our friends at The Wellness Company.
00:12:11.000Let's carry on now with being patronised by the waltzes as they waltz us through their childish wonderland where we're all basically imbeciles.
00:12:22.000So I need you to be with me and practice with me.
00:12:41.000We're going to refuse to listen to your propaganda and your prejudice.
00:12:44.000We're going to refuse to let your sort of cosy affability and your tubby hubby make us believe that we're on the side of the righteous.
00:12:52.000We shall recognize this project of infantilization for what it is, an attempt to paternalize the entire planet.
00:13:00.000You know that care and control have a crossover.
00:13:03.000We really care for you so much, we don't want you to get this virus, so maybe if you take this medication, maybe if you stay in your house, maybe if you live the rest of your life like a little mouse, turn the page.
00:13:14.000I'm gonna be watching you, because when I see Wisconsin, Which, if we lose, it's impossible for us to gain the White House.
00:13:22.000And I'm one watching National Ant TV because it's a pretty important place in Minnesota.
00:14:07.000Here's MSNBC calling 72 million Trump supporters despicable.
00:14:12.000They've learned nothing from the basket of deplorables except they need a deeper, thicker weave in which To carry half the population, or at least half the voting population, off to hell in a handcart inn.
00:15:15.000Look beyond the narrow purview of materialism and rationalism that even this space offers you.
00:15:20.000But what I can tell you certainly is the way that you receive information on MSNBC is pre-chewed to the degree where if you spat it into a baby bird's mouth, you'd risk patronizing them.
00:15:31.000But even this piece about saying, well, my building was the tallest until, you know, they brought down the World Trade Center.
00:16:04.000A silo of continual approval because that's something too many people... When I went to like Cheesecake Factory in a mall in Sarasota, delicious by the way, I was thinking, these people are Trump supporters.
00:16:17.000It's not all, like, red hat, MAGA wearing, like, painted chest, fully down with it, the people I met at the RNC, who were also pretty lovely as well, by the way.
00:16:27.000It's about ordinary Americans that are probably concerned, as I am, about the trend towards globalism within the Democratic Party that is being masked with issues that centre on ethnicity and vulnerability, about which, by the way, I don't think they actually care either.
00:16:45.000So to make that statement that the narcissist's traits are an inability to empathize, which is a clinically relatively accurate definition of that particular pathology, to make that condemnation is in itself, ironically, narcissistic.
00:17:05.000All about him. That's why he lies about 9/11. It's all about him, him, him, me, me, me.
00:17:09.000He's probably the least compassionate president we've had in 200 years since Andrew Jackson.
00:17:14.000That's interesting, isn't it? Because you're going to have to think about
00:17:15.000some of the numerous... I mean, let's say Barack Obama, really brilliant public orator,
00:17:22.000excellent communicator, really interesting personal history up through the legal system and
00:17:28.000education system. But the bombing of Syria, that's pretty...
00:17:33.000And then sort of out of office, just straight into Netflix production or like...
00:17:38.000You know, even someone adorable like Jimmy Carter, who was really willing to put his principles ahead of political expedience, for example, with the hostage negotiation around the Iranian embassy stuff, he still is participating.
00:17:52.000And that's before you get into your Nixons and your W. Bushes and your Bill Clintons, who literally ejaculated his way through eight years in office.
00:18:04.000And I wonder what these people thought of Donald Trump when he was just cropping up on The View.
00:18:09.000Because people seemed, by and large, to think he was a pretty nice chap.
00:18:14.000It works for him because his supporters are just as ungenerous and have just as little compassion and empathy for others.
00:18:22.000So when he is seen out there, essentially, as you guys have put it, It's interesting that while the claim is being made of the desecration of national symbols, the legacy media are literally questioning the legitimacy of the Constitution itself, which is beyond a national symbol, it's a national artifact.
00:18:47.000And when you consider the ongoing iconoclasm when it comes to the hauling down of statues, it's an odd Argument to make.
00:18:54.000And when you consider, even from what we've been talking about today, Kamala Harris saying there are no American troops in combat zones anywhere in the world, a point that's not being refuted by a political opponent, but by the troops themselves, you have to consider that this narcissism's insidious reach may be in places where this particular pundit is not looking for it.
00:19:14.000Hey, if you're watching this on YouTube, you're gonna have to click the link in the description.
00:19:22.000And over the course of the next hour, we've got some brilliant stuff.
00:19:25.000We've got Bill Maher calling Trump an abomination.
00:19:28.000We've got Musk's outcry against declining fertility rates.
00:19:32.000We've got the brilliant John Mershimer and Jeffrey Sachs talking about why Kamala's ongoing relationship with the Cheneys makes perfect sense.
00:19:40.000And you are going to love An exclusive clip from our new Oracle series where we've got Max Blumenthal and Mike Benz talking about stuff about the shooter that's going to knock your knickers off.
00:20:05.000And that's why it never hurts Trump when he takes these crass and classless actions.
00:20:12.000It's because his supporters think that being crass and classless is actually kind of cool.
00:20:17.000Yeah, and they also, he hates the people they hate.
00:20:19.000So when he makes up this idea that these Muslims in New Jersey were cheering, and they're Americans in New Jersey, cheering supposedly for the towers to come down, he's like, well, yeah, because my supporters don't like them, right?
00:20:30.000The same way... This isn't the kind of conversation that's going to bring about peace.
00:20:35.000Let's immediately turn to prayer for all of the people, Joy Reid and the other contributors.
00:20:40.000I pray for the highest possible outcomes for all of them.
00:21:13.000Are you sick and tired of funding wars around the world, massacre and death, wherever you look?
00:21:17.000Well, spare a moment for Keir Starmer!
00:21:20.000Who's dedicated his life to various incarnations of authoritarianism in the deep state.
00:21:24.000Him and his wife can scarcely afford new threads.
00:21:28.000I recognize that, but I also recognize that... This is a Labour... He's either Foreign Secretary or is he?
00:21:36.000Yeah, he's Foreign Secretary David Lammy.
00:21:37.000He's Foreign Secretary and he's Talking about the Labour Party leader, the centralist WF leader of our country, Keir Starmer.
00:21:46.000I recognise that but I also recognise that in our country there isn't a budget for the Prime Minister's close or his wife's close.
00:21:58.000In some countries there's a substantial budget.
00:22:00.000I've just come back from America where there is a substantial budget to ensure that the US President and the First Lady, their appearance Can never be challenged.
00:22:30.000And they're pretty keen for the view, which by the way, 20 years ago, I feel like I could go in there and talk about, I think I was on there talking about innocuous stuff.
00:22:38.000It was like pretty elastic, trivial and light.
00:22:45.000Now, everything, everything, so hotly politicized.
00:22:49.000Our whole cultural space, febrile and oppositionist.
00:22:53.000In this emergency that we're in, I think that behooves artists to come out and speak for Kamala, against Donald Trump, because he is an existential threat to the country.
00:23:18.000Like from particularly now, like Taylor Swift's invaluable endorsement has been offered to Kamala.
00:23:25.000The assumption is that that's just the standard position for a pop star or a cultural figure, but I'm not just saying this because it's not the world I exist in anymore.
00:23:33.000I'm wondering if, let me know in the comments in the chat, do you care what famous people think about politics?
00:23:39.000I know that I'm sort of a famous person talking about politics, but I really don't expect you to care.
00:23:45.000And I, you know, like this, this isn't this Dave Chappelle's jar rule on 9-11 moment all over again.
00:23:52.000I mean, is it, Not really evident that Taylor Swift would be a conservative.
00:23:58.000I don't mean culturally or socially conservative.
00:24:00.000I mean conservative in the sense of would want things to stay the way they are because she's operating in a very particular cultural space of making significant money from a very particular set of systems.
00:24:14.000Taylor Swift's hardly gonna be taking out some flaming sword of justice thrashing away at the citadel of corruption.
00:24:22.000affords Taylor Swift her income. That's not a condemnation of Taylor Swift it's
00:24:27.000a suggestion that we don't need to pay too much attention when it comes to
00:24:32.000anything other than songs about you know heartbreak and the other stuff some of
00:24:36.000which by the way seems to be getting weirder my kids will listen to it every day
00:24:38.000thinking I don't know about this. Some of it seemed I would say borderline
00:24:42.000Luciferian. Like everybody else I think voting is an individual choice and I
00:24:49.000You have to look at the reality of the country that we are and the country that we want to be and find the candidate that you feel both are who fits the category of where we want to be.
00:25:03.000And that's what you vote based off of who you highlight and how you choose to highlight it on whatever platform you have is your prerogative.
00:25:49.000He was once the epitome of the vocal Democrat, on TV advocating for Joe Biden.
00:25:56.000Better a dead Joe Biden than a living Donald Trump, he once said.
00:26:00.000But through his podcast and through various conversations with figures from alternative
00:26:03.000media spaces, we've witnessed Bill Maher transform and say that perhaps everything in the pandemic
00:26:10.000period wasn't exactly as we were told.
00:26:13.000That maybe mistakes were made, that maybe these endless wars could be inquired into.
00:26:19.000Well, nevertheless, when it comes to it, Bill Maher still believes that Kamala Harris is going to win the election and that Donald Trump Like the hosts of The View would believe, is an abomination.
00:26:31.000There's a lot of people in this country who are tired of the hate and the hating, and I am one of them.
00:26:37.000I don't want to hate half the country, and I don't hate half the country.
00:26:40.000I would never vote for Trump, and I think he's an abomination.
00:26:44.000And Kamala, you know... You know, there's no evidence at all that he's an abomination.
00:26:52.000It's interesting to hear people in alternative media spaces, even if they are legacy media figures, calling for an end to hate, while on MSNBC 72 million Trump supporters have just been referred to as narcissists in that segment.
00:27:11.000What interests me about this is that far from alternative media being the extreme and misinformation laden space that the legacy media and their online affiliates would have you believe, is indeed the mainstream That is the place that houses most contentious and more extreme views.
00:27:30.000Perhaps that's one of the big changes we're experiencing now.
00:27:34.000Only perhaps on MSNBC would you have a pundit saying Donald Trump and his supporters are narcissists, which is a pretty serious condition actually, adjacent to being a like straight up and down Well, given that they've spent significant time calling Trump the closest thing our century has to Adolf Hitler, even psychopath is an upgrade on that when it comes to an adjective.
00:28:05.000What I would say is that when there have been pretty regular assassination attempts now, relatively regular, there's been a couple of them, no sense that they're going to dry up anytime soon, and all of the information is either immediately extracted and scrubbed, or the information that's available in the case of the second assassination attempt is highly evocative and suspicious, seems like What Bill Maher is calling for, an end to hatred, seems pretty sensible.
00:28:33.000In fact, the conversation between Bill Maher and Jordan Peterson is at least the conversational equivalent of a kind of easy truce.
00:28:40.000It's at least, I would say, a furthering of the emergence of the spaces that are going to need to become better furnished and better evolved.
00:30:12.000As he suggests, a global censorship campaign to pressure countries into censoring Russian media.
00:30:19.000Do we want less conversation and more censorship?
00:30:22.000Right when it seems that Trump is the candidate, certainly in this election, that is most likely to facilitate peace between Russia and Ukraine.
00:30:32.000Let's have a look at In relation to what Bill Maher just said about the sort of climate of hate, the only, there's only one thing that's worse than the cultural climate of hate, and that's nuclear war, the manifestation of hatred.
00:30:44.000And Annie Blinken here wants to censor all Russian media, and I would say the ongoing adversarial attitude towards Russia, whether it's allowing missile strikes, that are ultimately NATO missile strikes, deeper inside their nation, or censoring all their media, is a step in exactly the wrong direction.
00:31:32.000Are you struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns?
00:31:36.000The IRS is escalating collections, adding, get this, 20,000 new agents and sending over
00:31:41.000five million collection letters to kick off 2024 to spend on things that you probably
00:31:46.000don't agree with, like wars and measures and a total lack of infrastructure.
00:31:49.000In these challenging times your best defense is Tax Network USA.
00:31:54.000Don't let the IRS take advantage of you.
00:31:56.000With over 14 years of experience, Tax Network USA have saved their clients over $1 billion in back taxes.
00:32:03.000No matter the size of your tax issue, their expertise is your advantage.
00:32:07.000They specialize in negotiating with the IRS, aiming to significantly reduce your debt.
00:32:11.000Tax Network USA doesn't just negotiate, they also protect your assets from IRS seizures and manage your yearly returns for ongoing compliance.
00:32:19.000Importantly, they are licensed to help you with all state tax issues, regardless of where you live in the United States.
00:33:30.000Now let me be very clear, the United States respects and champions freedom of expression.
00:33:35.000We really champion it when we're endorsing and enforcing global censorship, when we're claiming that we want to bring about cultural and social peace while shutting down half the country and condemning them as narcissists.
00:33:48.000We believe in peace and open discourse and free speech so strongly that when it comes to legislation and the advancing of our political purview, we can afford to do the exact opposite.
00:33:59.000So whether or not it's Bill Maher claiming that Trump is a spent political force, that Kamala will win and this will augur a new age, turning up the page, or it's the American various state departments continuing to ignore the threat of Armageddon, it seems to me that change Is required and we cannot trust the current cabal of globalists with that change.
00:34:43.000An apostle sent not from men nor by man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead and all the brothers and sisters with me to the churches in Galatia.
00:34:54.000Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age according to the will of our God and Father to whom be glory forever and ever.
00:35:21.000The Oracle Series is a set of conversations between me and some of the best thinkers and pundits around.
00:35:27.000While we talk about the issues that matter, whether it's the pandemic or the military-industrial complex, I'm going to be showing you an exclusive clip from that in just a few minutes.
00:35:36.000Before that though, why don't we for a moment reflect on... Look, these are two... Here are Two of the best academics on the subject of geopolitics, excuse me, and war in the space right now.
00:35:49.000John Mearsheimer, who will just flatly tell you, no don't do that, that will lead to a nuclear war.
00:35:54.000That's the history of Russia's various wars across the last century.
00:35:58.000This is how they respond in these situations.
00:36:01.000Jeffrey Sachs was one of the first people to say, oh, I think the CIA were involved in that coup in 2014.
00:36:06.000The two of them have finally got together, like some academic super band, like Cream itself, to talk about the fact that there is no anomaly in Cheney supporting Kamala.
00:36:18.000Because it's war, war, and yet more war.
00:36:22.000A war that we could potentially avoid by endorsing even particularly unusual new alliances.
00:36:32.000There's basically one deep state party, and that is the party of Cheney, Harris, Biden, Victoria Nuland, my colleague at Columbia University now.
00:36:45.000And Nuland is kind of the face of all of this because she has been in every administration for the last 30 years.
00:36:52.000She was in the Clinton administration wrecking our policies towards Russia in the 1990s.
00:37:02.000See how extraordinary it is to have this kind of media?
00:37:04.000Now this is like some sort of symposium held presumably in the outer reaches of academia or some sort of conference somewhere and you have these brilliant academics explaining to you Who Victoria Newland is.
00:37:18.000Now I know you know who Victoria Newland is, that she's worked for successive administrations, that she's advocated for war, that she knew about the bases, the CIA bases in Ukraine, that she's clearly part of the cartilage that exists between globalism, the deep state and the government, that she's one of the funnels of taxpayer money that ends up in the pockets and in the stock price bottom line of military industrial complex companies.
00:37:41.000But now, in 2024, we all know their names.
00:37:45.000We know how it works, and this is one of the miracles of modern media, because that conversation, maybe there were 500 people in attendance, I don't know, maybe they did it at a stadium.
00:37:52.000But what we have now is the opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people, maybe even millions of people, to participate in a discourse that would otherwise have been most esoteric and includes, I would say, very accurate diagnostics of the reason we have a military-industrial complex, the reason we have An American foreign policy that we have.
00:38:09.000The reason we have a NATO that seems to be opposed to peace rather than pro-peace.
00:38:14.000Well, these are the parts of the miracles of the online space that we should all be grateful for.
00:38:20.000In particular, for John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs.
00:38:22.000...Junior, with Cheney, wrecking our policies towards NATO enlargement.
00:38:29.000She was in then the Obama administration as Hillary's spokesperson first, and then making a coup in Ukraine in February 2014.
00:39:26.000I actually think the one exception is that former President Trump, when he became president in 2017, was bent on beating back the deep state and becoming a different kind of leader on the foreign policy front.
00:40:09.000How beautiful it is to see lucidly described the connection between Kamala Harris and the Cheneys and Victoria Newland and how globalism works.
00:40:22.000It's not a word that means that people have taken leave of their senses and replaced their rather lovely wide brim hat with a tinfoil hat.
00:40:29.000What this kind of conversation gives us access to is the receipts And back channels through which power is established, through which war is perpetuated, through which information is controlled.
00:40:43.000And I'm personally extraordinarily grateful that these kind of media spaces exist so that academics and bold individuals that are willing to communicate truthfully are platformed in a way that keeps all of us well-educated and well-armed for the conversations coming up.
00:40:58.000That are only going to get more complex in the run-up to the election.
00:41:28.000The New York Times has gone, I don't want to say full, am I going to say full, full r asterisk, tarred with their claim that the Constitution itself is dangerous.
00:41:40.000Now it's one thing to pull down a statue, it's another thing to pull down the founding documents of an entire nation.
00:41:47.000What does it mean for American culture when the New York Times attacks the Constitution and it's left To that great new monolith within the alternative media space, although it's no longer the alternative, is it?
00:42:24.000One of the biggest threats to America's politics might be one of the greatest documents that any country was ever founded on, if not the greatest ever.
00:42:35.000That could be a threat to America's politics.
00:42:48.000I mean, it's on the one hand completely predictable, right?
00:42:52.000Because there's obviously an authoritarian force there that just grinds its teeth at night over the Constitution and the fact that it prevents it from doing things that it just wants to do last week, you know?
00:43:04.000Remember me and Brett Weinstein on the 29th will be appearing in Washington at the rally he's organized which includes Bobby Kennedy.
00:43:21.000Let's get back to Joe Rogan's ire with Brett Weinstein on this matter.
00:43:26.000And so of course, they're like scratching their heads like, can we come up with an argument for why it might be time to get rid of that thing?
00:43:34.000And of course, if you're a normal thinking person, this is complete insanity.
00:43:39.000But If you're a New York Times reader, I'm sure that fits with the kind of ethos that's been cultivated.
00:43:46.000Well, this is why a person like Trump is so important to them.
00:43:49.000Because if you don't have someone that is an imminent threat on the horizon in three months, it's very difficult to justify all this shit.
00:43:58.000So if you have Kamala Harris and she's competing against Ron DeSantis, if it's just Kamala Harris and Ron DeSantis and Trump doesn't exist, maybe he died.
00:45:04.000At this point, how can you continue to ignore the evident and obvious fact that we are in a type of global war when it comes to freedom of speech, when it comes to the right to protest, when it comes to the right to communicate freely, when it comes to the right to actually be a free citizen?
00:45:23.000I see now the coalescence and connection between advancing geopolitical crises, the utilization of health crises, The advancing of authoritarianism and now the attack on even the undergirding documents of national democracies or republicanism, depending on how you see it.
00:45:42.000What we are moving towards is a late phase in national sovereignty and an advance towards globalism, where the power of groups like the WF, NATO, WHO, IMF, it becomes yet more explicit, yet more immersive, where they legislate and control On behalf of governments that you elected to deploy laws that you may not agree with, but you'll definitely fund.
00:46:05.000Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:46:09.000If you're watching this on YouTube, remember, turn on the notification bell, and if you're watching us on Rumble, our great and glorious home, remember, subscribe, like, get involved in the conversation, and consider becoming an awakened wonder, because there are so many advantages.
00:46:44.000Like, amidst all them people, you'd probably, did you read about Julie Waters and Robbie Coltrane, the great footballer from Liverpool and Scotland, Ian St John and Ringo, man, out of the Beatles, who also, name drop, When I met him, he goes, I just like that show you did, Ponderland.
00:47:02.000It's like that band you were in, The Beatles.
00:47:12.000Now, I'm very proud to show you some exclusive first-look footage of our Oracle series.
00:47:19.000In our Oracle series, we bring together experts on a variety of subjects to get right into it when it comes to the most difficult and contentious subjects of our time.
00:47:28.000We've already made an episode on the military-industrial complex and the deep state, and it's this episode that I want to show you an exclusive clip of.
00:47:35.000I spoke to Max Blumenthal, And the incomparable Mike Benz and the brilliant Kim Iverson about the recent assassination attempt and the extraordinary connections that Ryan Ruth has.
00:47:49.000That he's definitely someone that would be on FBI watch lists.
00:47:52.000It's inconceivable that he wouldn't be.
00:47:56.000What an extraordinary individual he is.
00:48:00.000To get Mike Benz's insights and Max Blumenthal's insights is fantastic.
00:48:05.000Have a look at this exclusive bit of our Oracle series and let me know if you've seen better insight and commentary into the Ryan Roof assassination attempt than this.
00:48:15.000You know, the fact is, is what this guy was doing, you know, he's obviously something of a crazy person.
00:48:21.000And the way that I currently see it, just based on extremely preliminary research is, is that this guy appeared to have been some sort of As I see it, it appears likely that this person was some sort of subcontractor of a subcontractor for the recruitment effort to bring people from Pakistan to Ukraine.
00:48:46.000Now, there was a big influx after 2014 of ISIS fighters to Ukraine.
00:48:53.000They were basically trying to stuff up bodies Almost for the past seven years to try to top up the ability for the Kiev government to retake eastern Ukraine.
00:49:05.000And the idea that this person was just a humble construction worker from North Carolina, this guy was involved in the mass acquisition of passports from people from the most intense CIA conflict zones that we have.
00:49:23.000And his whole Facebook I've archived hundreds of these posts where he's talking about, I've got thousands of passports.
00:49:32.000I need your passport because the only way I can bring you is there is if you is to get you a visa is if you send me over WhatsApp a copy of your passport.
00:49:42.000His website actually has instructions for all these ISIS fighters effectively.
00:49:49.000To come to Ukraine saying, don't talk to your local embassy.
00:49:52.000He says this twice on his website, big, bold, all caps, do not talk to your local embassy first.
00:49:59.000Literally, send me your passport info, get on a plane, go straight to Ukraine or go to Poland and then take a bus to Ukraine.
00:50:07.000And when you understand, so I talked about this last night, but there's There's a whistleblower named Michael Springman, who is the chief of the visa division of the Jeddah consulate, the U.S.
00:50:19.000State Department's Jeddah consulate in Saudi Arabia, in the romp to 9-11.
00:50:24.000And he wrote a book called Visas for Terrorists.
00:50:27.000And it was about how everybody around him at the U.S.
00:50:31.000consulate in Jeddah was working for the CIA.
00:50:34.000The CIA is basically the underside of the State Department.
00:50:36.000They just do the covert work, the plausibly deniable work that the State Department wants to do, but has to Effectively outsourced to them.
00:50:44.000And so he was talking about how basically everybody else at the embassy, everybody else at the consulate was CIA, including his State Department boss, who was also working for the CIA.
00:50:55.000And remember, at the time in Saudi Arabia, John Brennan was the head, was the chief of station for the CIA in Saudi Arabia.
00:51:02.000John Brennan would then go on to be The head of the CIA, the entire CIA for the Obama administration.
00:51:09.000But in this book, Visas for Terrorists, he talks about how people were showing up with shady or fraudulent passports.
00:51:17.000and that he was told by the CIA folks around him and by his boss, who is the, again,
00:51:24.000working with the Saudi CIA there, to issue these no-look visas to fraudulent passports
00:51:33.000in order to bring people to the United States, bring terrorists to the United States
00:51:40.000for military training, to move terrorists around the world.
00:51:43.000And this guy, Ryan Ruth, appeared to be doing the exact same thing.
00:51:48.000In fact, some of his posts even show that he appeared to have been working with,
00:51:51.000in his own words, the US Embassy in Kiev.
00:51:55.000So this guy is working with the State Department, he's doing effectively military intelligence,
00:52:01.000human trafficking of terrorists, and he's even back-channeling to get no-look visas
00:52:16.000I think the agency worked with a subcontractor.
00:52:19.000The subcontractor worked with dozens or maybe hundreds of people like Ryan Ruth, whose jobs were to scour Telegram and social media and WhatsApp for interested people from the Arab world to come to Ukraine to provide additional human cannon fodder for the war on Russia.
00:52:40.000Max, it seems extraordinary that within 24 hours Mike can have accumulated such an extraordinary litany of insights with regard to what's essentially a breaking news story, and it's a further indication That there are sets of relationships now that are established that are going to be increasingly difficult to conceal.
00:53:04.000Your investigative work, as Mike alluded to at the early part of his answer, has brought you to, it seems, a great deal of personal risk.
00:53:13.000And I wonder, as you continue to report on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, escalating crisis in the Middle East, and various geopolitical issues, if you feel that the way that these stories are unfolding, and I mentioned this to Kim just prior to your arrival, particularly as we approach the election, do you get the sense But the consequences for people like you that openly communicate about these matters might get even harsher.
00:53:39.000And also, how do you continue to remain sanguine and rational when reporting on matters that, even just quietly listening for the first 15 minutes here, induces in me a kind of yawning terror?
00:53:53.000Well, yawning is the operative word there, because I got my time zones mixed up, so I haven't had my coffee yet, so I might not be as sharp as your other guests.
00:54:02.000You know, and Mike did a really good job of framing Ryan Ruth as someone who could not have possibly had their hands clean of government contacts.
00:54:17.000And I mean, I was just this morning Trying to plow through the rest of his book, Unwinnable War, a 291-page de facto manifesto that he put for sale for three bucks on Amazon.
00:54:32.000And I was able to glean a lot of insights into his thinking last night.
00:54:37.000But then today I just came across a page where he's posing with Jose Andres of World Central Kitchen, who's a very close ally of the Biden administration, of Tony Blinken.
00:54:46.000He's a State Department culinary ambassador At a major USAID event where they were rolling out new technology for Ukrainian citizens that was deeply dystopian.
00:55:48.000He has meetings on Capitol Hill with top lawmakers, military officials, goes on tours of the U.S., has a special visa to travel around the U.S.
00:55:57.000He's a proxy that has been used in the war on Russia, and he's someone who's accused by eyewitnesses And Ivan Kachanovsky, who's written this peer-reviewed paper on the Maidan assassination that drove the bloodshed in the Maidan Square in 2014 and led to the ouster of the elected president and the current, you know,
00:56:24.000And the current regime coming into power, the nationalist, oligarchic regime coming into power in Ukraine, basically setting the stage for war.
00:56:33.000There was this series of massacres of protesters in the square.
00:56:37.000Many people were saying, well, the fire was coming from a hotel controlled by the opposition side, the Ukrainian nationalist side.
00:56:46.000And this guy, Mamula Mameshvili, is implicated in bringing snipers there, Georgian snipers.
00:56:53.000There's so, I mean, there's so much material on this.
00:56:55.000So this is the guy who runs the Georgian Legion.
00:56:58.000And Ryan Ruth comes to Ukraine through this, along with, as I said, killers, like people who are fleeing murder charges in the US, white supremacists, other people like Malcolm Nance, who are fanatical, you know, resist Trump, MSNBC, NatSec commentator, who, according to Ruth's book, appears to have been friends with him.
00:57:21.000And it's in this context, That I think Ruth was kind of radicalized and decided that he was going to, my theory, which seems pretty plausible, he decided that while he wanted to assassinate Putin, he talks about this at length in the book, the easier thing would be to assassinate Donald Trump, especially after a major security breach
00:57:44.000Or having another would-be assassin expose how weak Donald Trump's security was.
00:57:50.000He managed to get 300 yards from Trump at his personal golf course.
00:57:54.000This is someone who's been around people with weapons.
00:57:58.000So we have to learn more about what the government knew.
00:58:04.000Because Ryan Ruth would be the perfect person for the FBI to follow around because he has so many
00:58:12.000contacts and for other intelligence agencies to follow around.
00:58:59.000He has a background, as you probably already mentioned, of someone who was arrested after a hostage standoff in 2002, or some kind of armed standoff where he barricaded himself in a building with an assault weapon.
00:59:16.000Did the FBI encourage him in any way in his activities?
00:59:21.000What did they know about him going to the Trump residence?
00:59:26.000These are key questions and I think one area where we can learn a lot is through direct messages on Twitter where Ryan Ruth maintained a prolific presence.
00:59:36.000And who controls those direct messages?
00:59:39.000Well, we're told as Twitter ex-users by Elon Musk's new regime That they have access to our DMs and can read them at any time.
00:59:48.000Ryan Ruth's account was nuked on this supposed free speech platform.
00:59:55.000We don't know what happened to the DMs, but presumably these would be in Elon's possession just like the Twitter files were and we would know who he was communicating with and how.
01:00:07.000So I think There's a lot that the public should know, and there's a lot clearly that the government wants to cover up, which is why they nuked all of his social media accounts.
01:00:16.000I shudder to think what you might be capable of after a double espresso, Max.
