00:01:23.000 We ask, is free speech finally back, baby?

00:01:27.000 Is it time to strike up a Diwali light and celebrate that sweet bird that we call freedom?

00:01:33.000 Is it?

00:01:34.000 That's what we're asking you.

00:01:34.000 Is it?

00:01:35.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:01:36.000 Let me know in the comments.

00:01:37.000 Right now.

00:01:38.000 Russell, please invite President Putin onto the show.

00:01:42.000 Have you got contact, BluePanda64?

00:01:44.000 Have you got a contact for Putin?

00:01:46.000 We got young Putin.

00:01:47.000 We got the next best thing.

00:01:48.000 He will become Putin. 0.78

00:01:50.000 He's the younger model. 0.88

00:01:51.000 He's better.

00:01:52.000 He's less deadly.

00:01:52.000 He's younger.

00:01:54.000 Copy Pastry Chris.

00:01:55.000 Decentralise.

00:01:56.000 You know that's our message.

00:01:57.000 That's how we defuse these culture wars. 0.94

00:01:59.000 You let people be who they are.

00:02:01.000 Decentralise power.

00:02:02.000 Whether it's the military-industrial complex, Big Pharma, or Big State, we have to break down power.

00:02:08.000 We have to unify.

00:02:09.000 We cannot afford to live in contact... Oh my God, the pound's just shot right up as a result of that.

00:02:13.000 We can't afford to squabble.

00:02:15.000 We live in a time of shifting narratives, of shifting tales.

00:02:18.000 Now that Elon Musk has got Twitter by the wings, pulling it about by the feathers, will it really change?

00:02:24.000 Is some of that Saudi money still in the mix?

00:02:27.000 We're going to be asking a lot of questions.

00:02:28.000 What did he mean by that kitchen sink?

00:02:31.000 Do you see Elon as a great hero?

00:02:33.000 Let me know in the comments.

00:02:34.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:02:35.000 We've got a fantastic guest on today.

00:02:37.000 We've got Alan McLeod on.

00:02:39.000 Alan McLeod's a fantastic journalist who investigates the infiltration by intelligence services into these kind of platforms.

00:02:46.000 Did you know that Mulder and Scully from the X-Files have literally infiltrated Facebook?

00:02:51.000 I'm being reductive, but there are members of the FBI and CIA.

00:02:57.000 No, that's FBI.

00:02:59.000 F-B-I. 1.00

00:03:00.000 Hannibal Lecter, you know?

00:03:01.000 Actually, in Twitter, is Musk gonna get him out of there?

00:03:05.000 Is he gonna hose him down?

00:03:06.000 Is he gonna sniff him out?

00:03:07.000 He's sacked everyone else, so you'd think maybe.

00:03:09.000 He's gone round Saki Saki?

00:03:11.000 All the execs have gone, I think.

00:03:12.000 The execs have gone?

00:03:13.000 Oh my god, what do you think the vibe's like there today?

00:03:16.000 They're pretty low.

00:03:17.000 Are they going, I've lost my job?

00:03:17.000 Are they tweeting about it?

00:03:19.000 Are they putting it on Twitter?

00:03:21.000 Because it's news free now, so they can say what they want.

00:03:24.000 So, yeah.

00:03:26.000 On our big item, we're talking about Pfizer's blanked out pages.

00:03:29.000 What's in those pages?

00:03:30.000 What do you think's in those pages?

00:03:32.000 Let me know in the comments right now.

00:03:33.000 Let me know in the chat, because we respond to you.

00:03:36.000 Pyrodex.

00:03:36.000 Look at this.

00:03:37.000 I believe him when he says he loves you, Manny.

00:03:39.000 I believe Elon.

00:03:40.000 Like, I had a conversation with Elon.

00:03:41.000 I'm not name-dropping.

00:03:41.000 You know this.

00:03:42.000 I'm not that type of a person.

00:03:43.000 No, I'm really not.

00:03:45.000 In fact, I was told once by Barack Obama that I'm one of the least... No, I'm not even going to finish that joke.

00:03:50.000 You know, like, I like him.

00:03:52.000 I like him, but this is the world's most rich and powerful man.

00:03:56.000 So how do you become that?

00:03:57.000 The way I sort of feel about the royal family, in a sense, if you've accumulated that amount of power, some stuff must have gone down.

00:04:03.000 Is it all ingenuity, or is there more to it?

00:04:05.000 These are the questions I want to ask him when we finally get him on this show.

00:04:10.000 We're going to be speaking to Dr. Joe Dispenza.

00:04:12.000 When's that?

00:04:12.000 Is that today?

00:04:13.000 Not today.

00:04:14.000 When?

00:04:15.000 In November sometime.

00:04:16.000 Get ready.

00:04:17.000 Hang on to your hats.

00:04:18.000 Brace yourself.

00:04:19.000 Sit on your hands.

00:04:20.000 Chew on your lip.

00:04:21.000 Learn about Joe Dispenza.

00:04:22.000 He's going to be a fantastic guest.

00:04:24.000 And did you see our conversation with Tulsi Gabbard?

00:04:26.000 It's up now on Rumble.

00:04:28.000 Watch me doing this now.

00:04:28.000 Don't watch it now.

00:04:29.000 Then watch me doing that later.

00:04:31.000 Shall we have a look at a little bit of that conversation?

00:04:33.000 This is one of the best bits, wasn't it, Gareth?

00:04:35.000 Uh, this was one of the strangest bits, but... What was wrong with it?

00:04:38.000 It was a good conversation.

00:04:39.000 People remarked on how still I was when talking to Tulsi Gabbard.

00:04:42.000 I asked her great questions, didn't I, Gail?

00:04:43.000 About, are you gonna run with Trump?

00:04:45.000 I asked her about the cultural and social issues.

00:04:47.000 And significantly and importantly, I asked her about, sort of, God.

00:04:52.000 Well, have a look for yourself.

00:04:53.000 Tell me what you think, guys.

00:04:54.000 Tulsi, I believe in God.

00:04:56.000 I wonder if you believe in God.

00:04:59.000 Yeah, you know, I do my very best to please God and to love God with all my heart.

00:05:06.000 There you go, that's what you get over here.

00:05:08.000 Tulsi, I believe in God.

00:05:11.000 Was that unusual?

00:05:13.000 It was just the left field of some of the other questions you were asking.

00:05:17.000 The rest of them were more conventional, but that one, yeah, you've got to get to the Crux, isn't it?

00:05:22.000 Got to know whether people are believing in God or not.

00:05:25.000 You're going to love this conversation because we're going to dive a little deeper on some of the subjects that matter.

00:05:29.000 Did you know, for example, that some of the resistance to Musk taking over Twitter is because there are those in power in your country, and by your country I mean the United States of America, The belief he's not bullish enough on Ukraine.

00:05:42.000 Is it possible?

00:05:43.000 And let me ask you this question, and you tell me in the chat, you tell me in the comments, that social media is by now a de facto arm of the state.

00:05:52.000 Alan McLeod knows all about that, so he'll tell us, we will ask him out, right won't we Gale?

00:05:55.000 Yep.

00:05:56.000 Alan, is social media a de facto arm of the state?

00:06:00.000 And do you believe in God?

00:06:01.000 Alan, do you believe in it?

00:06:05.000 Do you?

00:06:06.000 Yeah, I'm going to get that question in.

00:06:07.000 Should I always, every time we have someone on, ask them a question that's a bit unusual?

00:06:10.000 At some point, yeah.

00:06:11.000 Why don't you tell us if you believe in God in the chat?

00:06:13.000 Why don't you tell us if it's possible to somehow bring together these diverse and currently bifurcated strands of libertarianism and anarcho-syndicalism?

00:06:23.000 People run in their own communities, people free to be individuals.

00:06:26.000 Do you think we can ever crush the establishment if we come together as people?

00:06:30.000 Can we create new movements out of the ashes of what we're currently experiencing?

00:06:34.000 So that means roll on the autocue, darling, and that means that thing's happening where I've said all of the things that are on the teleprompter and I'm just left there hanging.

00:06:43.000 Do you know what you're going to ask Jeffrey Sachs next week?

00:06:46.000 I'm going to ask Jeffrey Sachs things that make him do this.

00:06:50.000 Anything that makes him do that.

00:06:52.000 That's always my aim with Jeffrey Sachs, to get him to do this face.

00:06:55.000 That's what I love about Jeffrey Sachs, that face.

00:06:58.000 The old God question might do that, you never know.

00:07:00.000 Shall I go in with it?

00:07:01.000 Why not go in with an unusual question?

00:07:04.000 Jeffrey, thank you for joining us.

00:07:05.000 Do you believe in God?

00:07:07.000 I once heard that, you know I'm a fan of the, I have long been a fan of Morrissey, erstwhile of the Smiths, and Alan Bennett, the British playwright, said that Morrissey once turned up at his house, without warning, and he said, much too quickly, began to ask questions about a 1950s stand-up comedian called the Clitheroe Kid.

00:07:30.000 And I thought, if he asked it much too quickly, he must have done it before Hello.

00:07:34.000 Yeah.

00:07:34.000 He must have gone, can I ask you about the Clithero Kid?

00:07:37.000 It must have been so quick.

00:07:38.000 I'm going to ask Jeffrey Sachs about the Clithero Kid.

00:07:43.000 The Clithero Kid, who's, I believe, a Lancashire-born pataract comic.

00:07:47.000 Hit rumble, hit rumble, hit rumble, hit us up with your comments right now.

00:07:51.000 I need to know everything you believe in most immediately.

00:07:54.000 Let's see how our friends over on the mainstream media ...reported on Elon Musk's takeover.

00:08:00.000 Obviously, they're the people, I suppose, that have the most to lose.

00:08:03.000 That's what's assumed.

00:08:04.000 Let me know in the chat if you think this.

00:08:06.000 It's like the mainstream media are against Elon Musk because... what?

00:08:09.000 Because he just sort of seems to be a free speech advocate?

00:08:13.000 You feel that under Elon Musk's stewardship, the Hunter Biden laptop story would have been released?

00:08:20.000 Not suppressed in the manner that it was?

00:08:22.000 Are all these CIA dark ops folks gonna get booted out?

00:08:26.000 What is the concern that Alex Wagner on The Tonight Show, I'm sure that's how it's pronounced, on The Tonight Show has?

00:08:32.000 Let's look at the mainstream media news reporting on Musk.

00:08:35.000 Breaking news tonight as it appears that Elon Musk has sealed the deal to take over Twitter.

00:08:40.000 And this morning he tweeted a message to advertisers where he promised that, quote, Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape where Yeah, and you don't have free-for-all health, Scott.

00:08:49.000 No, it'd be awful, wouldn't it?

00:08:51.000 Obviously, I know that you're a sophisticated and educated viewer, so you know that MSNBC is owned by Comcast, which is a subsidiary of General Electric.

00:08:59.000 That's the 14th largest defence contractor in the US.

00:09:03.000 So, if you're the 14th largest defence contractor in the US, what is your attitude towards war?

00:09:09.000 Just as a sidebar, in war you need weapons, and they're the 14th largest defence contractor in the US.

00:09:15.000 Do you think that that gives them some biases?

00:09:17.000 They're very explicit about that, aren't they?

00:09:19.000 When they introduce the news.

00:09:20.000 They say, oh, by the way, we're owned by... Here's the news.

00:09:23.000 Mostly, we're a subsidiary of a weapons company.

00:09:26.000 In other news, we need more weapons.

00:09:28.000 The only way... It's not connected to that.

00:09:30.000 Forget that first piece of information.

00:09:32.000 Stop thinking about the first piece of information.

00:09:34.000 Forget that ever happened.

00:09:35.000 We need more weapons.

00:09:37.000 Don't ask what the MS in MSNBC stands for.

00:09:40.000 Does it stand for Microsoft?

00:09:42.000 Oh... He don't own it no more, though, does he, Bill Gates?

00:09:45.000 I don't know if he owns it.

00:09:46.000 You never know what Bill Gates owns anymore, do you?

00:09:49.000 Because what happens with Bill Gates is he sort of primarily presents himself as a kind of philanthropist.

00:09:55.000 Billy Gates, Billy Gates, going round the world.

00:09:58.000 Have some medicine, have some pills, have some journalist training.

00:10:02.000 I'm Billy Gates, I'm Billy Gates.

00:10:04.000 I'm dancing around the world.

00:10:05.000 Like, what is his game?

00:10:07.000 Because that, you know, as you know, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the second largest donator after the country, America, I think it's actually Germany, apparently, recent research.

00:10:17.000 What, Germany have took over? 0.90

00:10:19.000 The United States.

00:10:19.000 I think it's Germany first, then... Then Bill and Melinda Gates.

00:10:23.000 They're staying at number two there.

00:10:24.000 They've got to get that number one spot eventually.

00:10:27.000 I think they'll get there.

00:10:28.000 Yeah, they can't stay bridesmaids in the WHO funding war elite table for much longer.

00:10:35.000 I didn't mean to call it a war.

00:10:37.000 But that foundation, for example, isn't it true that a lot of the money in that foundation is untaxed money?

00:10:44.000 Is Alan McLeod going to know about that?

00:10:44.000 Yeah.

00:10:46.000 Not sure.

00:10:47.000 We can ask him.

00:10:47.000 We'll ask him about that.

00:10:48.000 Maybe I'll ask him about that.

00:10:50.000 The Department of Defense and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies have secured thousands of deals with Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook that have not been reported.

00:10:58.000 Hmm.

00:10:59.000 Amazon.

00:11:00.000 Because if you're concerned about Musk taking over Twitter, let us know in the chat.

00:11:03.000 Let us know in the comments.

00:11:04.000 Are you concerned about Musk taking over Twitter?

00:11:06.000 Let me have a look at the chat and comments and see where those guys are going right now because I love to see their little faces.

00:11:13.000 You think it's not right?

00:11:14.000 Elon is the richest man in the world.

00:11:16.000 Only 10% of people even use Twitter, says Jax Rees.

00:11:19.000 Yeah, good point, good point.

00:11:22.000 But like other platforms, other big tech companies, who do you think they're all owned by?

00:11:25.000 Sort of like Disney characters, although Disney have their own problems, don't they?

00:11:30.000 You know, they're owned by rich people.

00:11:32.000 You have to be rich.

00:11:33.000 You don't have to be rich to own them.

00:11:34.000 Actually, you do have have to be rich to own a social media company. What about

00:11:38.000 Amazon? We did a great story about them giving ring camera footage to the police without

00:11:42.000 warrant or consent. Between March 2020 and March 2022, there were 646 instances where big

00:11:48.000 tech censored criticism of Joe Biden.

00:11:50.000 140 of those involving Hunter Biden's potentially corrupt foreign deals when his father was

00:11:55.000 president. And Facebook explicitly banned the claim that COVID-19 was man-made following

00:12:00.000 consultations with the WHO, which we've already told you is funded by Bill Gates or Bill and

00:12:06.000 Melinda Gates Foundation, at least.

00:12:08.000 And now look at this headline.

00:12:12.000 COVID-19 most likely was leaked from a lab in China, Senate GOP report says.

00:12:16.000 The COVID-19 pandemic that's killed millions worldwide was most likely the result of a research-related incident in China and not natural transmission of a virus from animal to human, a new report by Republicans on the Senate Health Committee concludes.

00:12:30.000 What do you think about that?

00:12:32.000 Do you think it came out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology or the nearby Stinky old dirty old wet market where people ain't washing their hands properly eating those little armadillos in a cage.

00:12:42.000 Well if you're reading Facebook you will think one thing and one thing only.

00:12:46.000 And the reason we're bringing you over here from YouTube is we got a strike simply for mentioning ivermectin incorrectly actually we were incorrect we said that ivermectin had been approved as a result of clinical trials while those clinical trials are actually still ongoing which is why I was so impressed by Tim Poole's celebratory Tweet on learning that Elon's taken over.

00:13:08.000 Let's have a look at that.

00:13:08.000 You'll be familiar with it.

00:13:10.000 Tim Poole simply posting the word ivermectin.

00:13:13.000 Like, is there a single word that better sums up the transition that's just taken place?

00:13:18.000 Let me know if you think it's good news or is there more complexity to that?

00:13:22.000 More complexity to it than that.

00:13:24.000 Certainly the narrative is shifting.

00:13:26.000 The narrative around COVID is shifting.

00:13:28.000 Do you feel sometimes that you're being invited to forget the news?

00:13:32.000 Like, for example, do you know that there was a recent report that confirms that the Canadia... Is that a country?

00:13:38.000 The Canadia trucker protests had... They were completely non-violent.

00:13:43.000 There's no evidence of any violence.

00:13:44.000 But do you remember at the time there being this sense that it was, like, really violent and really bad?

00:13:49.000 We have Vandana Shiva on this show a lot.

00:13:51.000 You should listen to our podcast.

00:13:52.000 By the way, you can listen to this show as a podcast.

00:13:54.000 You can listen to it while you're driving your car or...

00:13:56.000 Or your truck. 1.00

00:13:57.000 Uh-uh, you violent lunatics. 0.97

00:13:59.000 You know, it's been confirmed that there was no violence, but there was a sense that it was violent. 0.98

00:14:02.000 Same with this Hunter Biden thing.

00:14:04.000 Completely suppressed.

00:14:06.000 Same with the New York City workers getting sacked for not getting vaccinated.

00:14:09.000 How many people lost their jobs for that?

00:14:11.000 Narratives are continually shifting and you're invited to forget that it even ever happened.

00:14:16.000 Everything appears to be altering at a pace and a rate that's difficult to maintain.

00:14:23.000 Yeah, I mean that is it.

00:14:25.000 It's Public Safety Canada officials admitted in an internal update.

00:14:29.000 So this is something that's been uncovered.

00:14:31.000 That actually they were saying that the Freedom Convoy so far has been peaceful and cooperative with police.

00:14:35.000 Whereas at the same time you had Trudeau saying... What was he saying?

00:14:40.000 We cannot allow illegal and dangerous activities to continue.

00:14:43.000 Occupying streets, harassing people, breaking the law.

00:14:45.000 This is not a peaceful protest.

00:14:47.000 Which seems to, as I say, go against what... I feel like I saw them saying that they were actual Nazis.

00:14:52.000 Yeah, I mean, he did slam or condemn antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, homophobia and transphobia that we've seen on display in Ottawa.

00:15:02.000 How can Trudeau keep doing this?

00:15:03.000 I've told you before and I'll tell you again, I don't like people that are presidents and prime ministers just because they've got nice haircuts.

00:15:08.000 There's got to be more criteria than that.

00:15:10.000 What did he do?

00:15:11.000 Rinse off his black face for the umpteenth time and go out to accuse them? 0.97

00:15:15.000 truckers have been Nazis and then get back into his one-man minstrel show. 0.96

00:15:19.000 A very unusual set of circumstances coming from that dude, I've got to tell you.

00:15:24.000 And while we cope with this ever-shifting narrative, we're gonna have

00:15:27.000 to learn to deal with, get ready for this reality, even nuns now, actual nuns, are 0.94

00:15:33.000 watching porn and smoking dope. Now I would have become a nun or a monk or 0.97

00:15:38.000 something much earlier point in my life if I'd have known that that was possible.

00:15:42.000 That was the one thing that was stopping me.

00:15:44.000 A life of contemplation and rigid adherence to religious principles but you can watch porn and smoke weed.

00:15:51.000 Yeah, I don't think that's what the Pope's saying.

00:15:53.000 What's he saying, the Pope? 0.98

00:15:54.000 It's not like become a nun or a monk and you can watch porn. 0.97

00:15:57.000 He's saying don't do it.

00:15:58.000 He's against it.

00:15:59.000 It's just in! 1.00

00:16:00.000 Become a nun, become a monk, get high every day and jerk yourself senseless. 0.99

00:16:05.000 Yeah, the Pope has said it's advice that many people have, many lay people, but also priests and nuns. 0.99

00:16:11.000 And then he says the devil enters from there.

00:16:13.000 I'm not sure. 0.99

00:16:13.000 The devil enters through porn. 0.99

00:16:14.000 Subi, I know, Subi, you just said mmm in such a reflective way on hearing that the devil enters through porn. 0.96

00:16:22.000 Is that what you felt?

00:16:24.000 No, I was just like, oh, OK, that's an interesting point of view.

00:16:26.000 Yeah, the devil's going to find his way in, Putin.

00:16:30.000 I'm not even going to touch on that subject with a man in your general age bracket.

00:16:35.000 So that's the way that Satan finds his filthy little way into our lives.

00:16:39.000 And I've certainly not made, thank God I left Catholicism.

00:16:41.000 A remnant disciple of Jesus's, thank God I left Catholicism. 1.00

00:16:44.000 Do you want to know something else though?

00:16:49.000 The Vatican had to launch an investigation in 2020 after the Pope's official Instagram account liked an image of a Brazilian bikini model posing in a skimpy schoolgirl outfit.

00:16:59.000 Vatican officials demanded to know how the embarrassing endorsement happened amid speculation that someone in the Holy Seas communications team have accidentally pressed a like button while browsing the model's extensive gallery of images.

00:17:11.000 Oh dear, that is embarrassing, because what are you doing?

00:17:14.000 If you're running social media accounts for His Holiness the Holy Father... Well, if it was the social media account team.

00:17:20.000 And not that His Holiness himself.

00:17:23.000 I think I know how that's happened.

00:17:24.000 He's Argentinian, isn't he, the Pope?

00:17:26.000 So I think they had a thing of, right, let's just, for God's sake, put this rivalry between Brazil and Argentina behind us by liking anything that's remotely Brazil-related.

00:17:37.000 And they saw that saucy-looking, I'm assuming, model. 0.57

00:17:42.000 In a way though, adult human female step in the right direction from some of the revelations around the behaviour, not of this Pope of course, I'm not saying that.

00:17:53.000 Allegedly!

00:17:53.000 I don't even think it is allegedly when it comes to paedophilia within the Catholic Church.

00:17:59.000 I think it's sort of proven again and again and again.

00:18:02.000 It's sort of borderline a sanctioned hobby.

00:18:05.000 Right.

00:18:06.000 When they found this out, maybe there was a round of applause.

00:18:08.000 Well done! 0.99

00:18:11.000 Someone's masturbating in the Vatican. 1.00

00:18:13.000 Oh, no! 1.00

00:18:14.000 Not again!

00:18:15.000 Oh, it's an adult!

00:18:16.000 Oh, well, good work!

00:18:18.000 Well done!

00:18:19.000 Bravo!

00:18:20.000 Bravo!

00:18:21.000 Right, let me just close that page. 0.99

00:18:24.000 Oh, you monster! 0.93

00:18:25.000 Someone put some smoke out the top of the chimney. 0.99

00:18:28.000 Finally they're doing it to a woman! 0.98

00:18:30.000 An adult woman is specifically what we want from a... Are we in safe ground here? 1.00

00:18:37.000 Certainly not things we'll be putting up on YouTube afterwards to continue the promotion of this platform because we believe in free speech.

00:18:46.000 Free speech to be loving, open.

00:18:49.000 Funny.

00:18:49.000 Not free speech to slam one another, criticise one another, challenge and attack people for things that are their own personal choices.

00:18:49.000 Adoring.

00:18:56.000 That's not what we're down with one little bit.

00:18:58.000 What I'm all about is watching nuns smoke weed every day. 1.00

00:19:01.000 Let's have a look at these saucy nuns living large. 1.00

00:19:05.000 Nuns in charge. 1.00

00:19:06.000 Because I'll tell you what, if there was a religious order that allows you to look at pornography and smoke weed, I think I'd be their Pope. 0.94

00:19:13.000 We'd have lost you years ago, wouldn't we?

00:19:14.000 Good years ago.

00:19:14.000 I'd have been their Pope by now.

00:19:15.000 I'd have been their new Jesus. 0.80

00:19:17.000 Let's have a look at this lot.

00:19:18.000 They may look the part, but these nuns are not religious, at least not in the traditional sense.

00:19:25.000 I do say the words holy plant.

00:19:28.000 Cannabis to me is holy.

00:19:31.000 Sister Sophia is one of 10 nuns whose devotion to the so-called holy plant has turned into a budding business here on this one acre farm in California.

00:19:39.000 Well the thing is, monks in abbeys in medieval Britain always brewed mead and ale, so it shows you that there is no sort of objective mentality when it comes to restrictions around substance misuse.

00:19:54.000 It's more of a temporal and cultural issue.

00:19:58.000 There may be a time where there's nuns like cooking up meth, just humble nuns cooking up rocks and In the nunnery or abbots in the monastery or whatever.

00:20:08.000 So this is what I suppose I'm saying about shifting narratives.

00:20:12.000 Controlling stories is the control of reality.

00:20:15.000 It's already ordinary to imagine that monks brew beer.

00:20:19.000 That's no problem.

00:20:20.000 So nuns, or at least an order of nuns, smoking weed and liking Brazilian bikini models is simply a shift.

00:20:29.000 I feel like that we regarded there, for a time we regarded that there were these absolute

00:20:34.000 values attached to the left and right, and this is the sort of stuff I reckon you guys

00:20:38.000 will like, where the left was like, what's going on with free speech?

00:20:42.000 Don't censor people.

00:20:43.000 And the right were sort of like a Christian-derived, somewhat puritanical, this is like 20 years

00:20:48.000 ago, it's not that bloody long ago.

00:20:50.000 That was the sort of presumed dynamic.

00:20:52.000 While the right has always been fixated on individual liberty, they used to be censorial,

00:20:57.000 just think back to all of that, you know, the censorship of hip-hop, for example, that

00:21:01.000 was like, usually the wives of people, like Nancy Reagan was all that just say no to drugs 1.00

00:21:06.000 stuff, and what's her name, Tipper Gore, like someone else's wife was trying to get him 0.99

00:21:13.000 down with the hip-hop and criticising and stuff, so it's almost like there is not an

00:21:18.000 Connection between these ideas.

00:21:20.000 There's not an organic connection between left-wing politics and freedom and I know like in America and probably in this chat you have very definitive views about sort of the left as being alloyed to actual communism as in sort of old school Stalinist Maoist communism which are atrophying and dead ideas although I'm sure many of you think they're being reintroduced culturally through forms of censorship.

00:21:44.000 Now of course our position here is a A little more nuanced because I believe absolutely in individual freedom.

00:21:49.000 Freedom to express yourself however you want to without harming others and I suppose that that includes absolutely beyond tolerance.

00:21:56.000 Tolerance, don't even come into it.

00:21:58.000 Love.

00:21:59.000 Love is the principle that interests me.

00:22:00.000 I was reading something by Matt Taibbi talking a similar thing about journalism in the way you were just talking about kind of left and right in politics and he writes, a professional journalist who opposed free speech was not long ago considered a logical impossibility.

00:22:12.000 Things are different now, of course, because the bulk of journalists no longer see themselves as outsiders who challenge official pieties, but rather as people who live inside the rope lines and defend those pieties.

00:22:23.000 Media has been co-opted by a professional metropolitan class.

00:22:28.000 There is only centrist politics now.

00:22:31.000 There are occasional fluctuations that appear to be extreme, but no one discusses anything as extreme as absolute decentralization, public assemblies, real democracy, the ability to meaningfully control, Corporatism and central state dictums, our challenge, the edicts that come down from unelected bodies, IMF, WHO, WEF.

00:22:53.000 I've told you a personal example of how we have already been regulated and somewhat punished as a result of YouTube, owned of course by Alphabet, automatically adopting the policies of the WHO.

00:23:06.000 That means that what the WHO says goes.

00:23:10.000 So that's Or anti-democratic by any measure.

00:23:14.000 So this idea of decentralisation I think is extremely significant and I think it's a genuine opportunity to put aside the typical oppositionism that can exist in left-v-right type politics.

00:23:27.000 And I know you agree with me on that.

00:23:29.000 I do agree on that, Ross.

00:23:30.000 Because I think people just want to be left alone.

00:23:32.000 People want to be left alone to live their own lives and to love one another.

00:23:36.000 I wonder if the WHO might enlighten us to what's in those blanked out Pfizer pages.

00:23:42.000 WHO!

00:23:43.000 If you love us so much, if all you care about is the world's health and organising it nicely, why don't you tell us what's in them blanked out pages?

00:23:51.000 What's the point in producing a report and then scribbling it out in black marker?

00:23:58.000 For one thing, it's a waste of printer ink to have that much.

00:24:03.000 In our item, here's the news, no, here's the effing news, we look at Pfizer vaccine hikes, which are currently, like, now that they're going to market with that product, 10,000% above cost, and we look again at these redacted pages.

00:24:17.000 Why is this happening?

00:24:18.000 Is this the function of the World Health Organization?

00:24:21.000 What's the point of an inquiry that's able to be so heavily censored?

00:24:25.000 Where is the demand for transparency?

00:24:27.000 Here's the news. Oh, no, here's the other news.

00:24:30.000 Here's the news. No, here's the fucking news. 1.00

00:24:38.000 Pfizer have had their most profitable year. 0.99

00:24:40.000 They've just jacked up the prices of their vaccine by 10,000%.

00:24:44.000 So we're asking, how much profit do they need before they'll release those bloody redacted pages?

00:24:54.000 The EU held a committee, didn't they, to investigate Pfizer?

00:24:57.000 We already know that Dutch MEP Rob Roos asked this question, eliciting this response.

00:25:04.000 Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market?

00:25:13.000 Regarding the question around, did we know about stopping humanisation before it's entered the market?

00:25:20.000 No!

00:25:20.000 Additionally, Romanian MEP Cristian Taraz, who's also a human rights advocate, made some serious allegations about redacted Pfizer contracts after CEO Albert Baller refused to testify and answer questions posed by the committee.

00:25:35.000 So obviously when we found out that the CEO of Pfizer Decided not to come and answer questions.

00:25:42.000 This is not an inquiry committee.

00:25:45.000 So he was not bound by law to come and, you know, he was not on record, you know, he was not facing any criminal punishments in case he's lying in front of this committee.

00:25:56.000 But even in that case, he refused to come.

00:25:59.000 Even without any risk of legal consequences, Albert Baller still refused to turn up to have what amounts to a chat with a nice blue backdrop.

00:26:09.000 They can't get to them bloody WF meetings quick enough, can they?

00:26:12.000 What do you have to do to get Baller to show up to your party?

00:26:15.000 Questions that I think all of us, and all of you, have.

00:26:18.000 And the first question is, what exactly in these contracts?

00:26:22.000 What are they hiding?

00:26:23.000 What, because the pages are redacted?

00:26:26.000 Because everything's all blacked out and you can't read?

00:26:28.000 This is how they were disclosed to us.

00:26:30.000 They're gonna go through that printer cartridge pretty quickly.

00:26:32.000 And to the public, and to the press.

00:26:34.000 I mean, the last one looked like Darth Vader's bum.

00:26:37.000 Well, you want to know what's in those contracts?

00:26:39.000 A limitless dark abyss!

00:26:39.000 Here.

00:26:41.000 An endless nothingness!

00:26:43.000 A black hole! 0.57

00:26:44.000 A blackness beyond black! 1.00

00:26:46.000 Black! 1.00

00:26:47.000 Black as night! 0.98

00:26:48.000 What's the point?

00:26:49.000 Don't even bother sending it.

00:26:50.000 Just say we're not going to show you.

00:26:52.000 Save your photocopier.

00:26:54.000 We've got nothing to hide.

00:26:55.000 Here's our contracts from Moderna and Pfizer.

00:26:58.000 There, look!

00:26:59.000 You command whack job conspiracy theorists.

00:27:02.000 What do you think we're doing?

00:27:03.000 We've got absolutely nothing to hide.

00:27:05.000 Nope, not that bit.

00:27:07.000 Absolutely nothing at all.

00:27:08.000 I'm going to need another pen.

00:27:09.000 Whatever it is that's redacted in that Hewlett-Packard oil spill, it ain't stuff that's going to make you so happy, is it?

00:27:17.000 And you know where I'm going.

00:27:18.000 The representative of Pfizer Who was sent to replace the CEO of Pfizer said that they can't fully disclose this contract because they have some commercial secrets over there.

00:27:28.000 And they have to protect their interests.

00:27:31.000 No, I'm asking you, what about the interests of our people?

00:27:34.000 Never mind the interests of your people. 0.65

00:27:35.000 We've got commercial cigarettes.

00:27:37.000 We were borderline mandated to take that medicine.

00:27:40.000 People that questioned it and queried it were openly ridiculed.

00:27:44.000 Well, what do you say to those people now?

00:27:46.000 How do you say, you know how you were sort of suspicious about, like, the whole vaccine and wanted more trialing and more transparency and more information just to be absolutely certain before you took this medicine that was new and you didn't know much about, broadly recommended by a government you don't trust, a media you don't trust, and a big pharma you don't trust, yeah?

00:28:01.000 Well, this should put your mind at rest.

00:28:03.000 A limitless blackness!

00:28:05.000 A pitiless blank sun!

00:28:07.000 An unlight!

00:28:08.000 A necromancer!

00:28:09.000 A dark force! 0.97

00:28:11.000 A dance with the vampire!

00:28:12.000 Oh no, this all seems to be in order.

00:28:14.000 Anyway, it's up to them what they redact.

00:28:16.000 It's not as if we paid for it.

00:28:18.000 Oh, no.

00:28:19.000 Sorry, we did pay for it.

00:28:20.000 We paid for it out of taxpayer money.

00:28:23.000 In what other circumstances in this world, other than other examples of government and corporate collusion, would you pay for something and then, on receiving it, accept redaction?

00:28:33.000 Oh, I'll take one croissant, please.

00:28:34.000 Certainly, monsieur.

00:28:36.000 But first...

00:28:38.000 You must never know!

00:28:39.000 You must never know what goes into this croissant!

00:28:43.000 Why is it that lovely shape?

00:28:44.000 You will never know!

00:28:45.000 How did you get it so lifelike?

00:28:46.000 Never know!

00:28:47.000 But it's my croissant! 1.00

00:28:48.000 Fuck you! 1.00

00:28:49.000 Dark blackness! 1.00

00:28:51.000 Limitless lightness Neverland!

00:28:53.000 So I'm asking again.

00:28:54.000 And we are asking again.

00:28:57.000 Where are they going to hide?

00:28:58.000 Where do they hide exactly?

00:28:59.000 Christian Theraz there, holding Pfizer to account.

00:29:02.000 A man who lives one top hat away from becoming the penguin in Batman.

00:29:06.000 Oh, Batman!

00:29:07.000 Why you not tell me how you make that thing that is a grappling hook?

00:29:11.000 What's in that bat belt of yours? 1.00

00:29:13.000 Hmm, Batman, why you redacting all this information about where Robin's quarters are in the Batcave?

00:29:20.000 I don't need to tell you where Robin sleeps.

00:29:23.000 Why not?

00:29:24.000 Robbing is paid for by the taxpayer!

00:29:28.000 Let's find out what's got the old penguin so roiled up.

00:29:31.000 Following an audit report in the EU's COVID-19 procurement strategy, Pfizer CEO Albert Baller, who was previously due to testify before the European Parliament's COVID-19 Committee October 10th, pulled out of the appointment.

00:29:43.000 Paula was expected to face questions and address the scrutiny surrounding the negotiations for Europe's third vaccine contract with Pfizer signed in May and covering an initial 900 million doses for delivery in 2022 and 2023.

00:29:55.000 It was the biggest COVID-19 contract signed by the European Commission.

00:29:59.000 900 million doses?

00:30:00.000 That's a lot of doses.

00:30:01.000 Probably there's a lot of scrutiny and examination before doses in that number are doled out.

00:30:05.000 Certainly not the sort of deal you'd want done by text messages.

00:30:08.000 The New York Times reported that EC President Ursula von der Leyen and Borla have been exchanging text messages leading up to the vaccine purchase agreement.

00:30:16.000 In their own investigation, Investigate Europe discovered, deals for doses happened behind closed doors between the EU and pharmaceutical companies.

00:30:23.000 Why is this stuff...

00:30:24.000 Also shady.

00:30:25.000 Why is it the contracts have to be blacked out?

00:30:28.000 Why are the deals happening in secret?

00:30:30.000 This is supposed to be democracy.

00:30:32.000 When Britain left the EU, it was like, oh, that's a regressive step.

00:30:36.000 It's not very democratic.

00:30:37.000 The whole point of the culture that we live in when criticizing other cultures, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, whatever, is Not very democratic though, are they?

00:30:46.000 Well, isn't democracy where government is an enactment of the will of the people?

00:30:51.000 Now, surely we don't want to vote on when the bins are collected, although actually I do a bit, but we do want to vote on major issues and major deals and global medical emergencies that are funded at inordinate cost and generate incredible profits and then the process is redacted.

00:31:08.000 That's not democracy, is it?

00:31:10.000 Let me know in the comments, let me know in the chat.

00:31:11.000 New variants, international competition and darkness around manufacturing costs have allowed Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna to increase the bill for European taxpayers.

00:31:20.000 So this darkness, these redactions, this lack of transparency, even if it's not something

00:31:25.000 nefarious, and who's to say whether it is or not, let me know in the chat if you think

00:31:28.000 it is, certainly what it does is increases their ability to glean profit without accountability.

00:31:36.000 You want transparency in a relationship like that.

00:31:38.000 You've got no power, you've got no transparency, you've got no accountability.

00:31:41.000 What have you got?

00:31:42.000 You've got a new form of tyranny.

00:31:44.000 You've got systems where your voice, your visibility are all irrelevant.

00:31:48.000 They're doing whatever they want to do.

00:31:50.000 And even this dude, an elected MEP, ain't even able to get a straight answer.

00:31:54.000 Where's the real power if an MEP can't compel a CEO to turn up and offer an account after

00:32:02.000 a global pandemic that's seen record expenditure, record suffering, and record profits?

00:32:07.000 Tell me where the power is.

00:32:08.000 Is it with you?

00:32:09.000 Is it with democracy?

00:32:10.000 Is it within the European Parliament?

00:32:12.000 Or does that begin to look like a shallow, phatic exercise while real power marauds about under the cover of darkness of one form or another doing whatever the hell it likes?

00:32:22.000 Pfizer announced it will soon raise the price of its publicly funded Covid-19 shot to between $110 and $130 per dose in the US.

00:32:28.000 One of the things it might say in there is like that there's no accountability, no ability to regulate pricing, that they're conceding that.

00:32:36.000 And if that stuff was built in at the beginning when all of us were... I remember our baller Specifically saying, well, this isn't something we're going to profit from, this is beyond that.

00:32:44.000 But in reality, redacted, redacted up the wazoo, profits from here next week, and the only thing that's going to the moon is possibly Albert Buller and his own rocket, with cock-loving spaceman Jeff Bezos.

00:32:55.000 I meant cock-rocket loving, I've no idea what he does in his private time.

00:32:58.000 But he knows what I do in mine, due to data capture.

00:33:01.000 The price hike would amount to a 10,000% markup above the cost of producing the vaccine, which is estimated to be as low as $1.18 per dose.

00:33:10.000 Wall Street was expecting such price hikes due to weak demand for COVID vaccines, which meant vaccine makers would need to hike prices to meet revenue forecasts for 2023 and beyond.

00:33:20.000 Essentially, this is a marketing exercise and an exercising commodity.

00:33:23.000 May I offer you, sir, a third booster?

00:33:26.000 Ooh, smells like you're overcharging us.

00:33:28.000 The US government currently pays around $30 per dose to Pfizer.

00:33:31.000 How come?

00:33:32.000 When they funded the research, how can you possibly justify all of this?

00:33:32.000 Why?

00:33:35.000 Unless Assange is right and the function of government is to take money from the public and place it in private hands, i.e.

00:33:42.000 tax people heavily and divert it all to private contractors, whether it's in the military-industrial complex, pharmaceutical, other areas of health.

00:33:51.000 I mean, the list just goes on, doesn't it?

00:33:52.000 Add to it down there in the chat.

00:33:54.000 The market is expected to move to private insurance after the US public health emergency expires.

00:33:58.000 Pfizer executive Andrew Lukin said, we are confident that the US price point of the COVID-19 vaccine reflects its overall cost effectiveness and ensures the price will not be a barrier for access for patients.

00:34:09.000 How can you argue for a 10,000% increase saying that it won't be a barrier for patients when many medical experts say that if there are people that require this booster shot, it's likely to be the most vulnerable among us?

00:34:23.000 Do you consider there to be a huge crossover between the most vulnerable and the most richest?

00:34:27.000 Because I've noticed that the opposite tends to be true.

00:34:30.000 That part of the vulnerability is a kind of economic vulnerability.

00:34:34.000 So if anything, this vaccine should be even cheaper.

00:34:37.000 It should remain free.

00:34:38.000 Certainly if Albert Buller remains true to his initial claim that this was a humanitarian project.

00:34:44.000 Pfizer said it expects the COVID-19 market to be about the size of the flu shot market on an annual basis for adults.

00:34:50.000 About the same size of the flu market.

00:34:53.000 about the same as the flu market.

00:34:53.000 About the same profit.

00:34:56.000 About the same as the flu market.

00:34:58.000 About the same as the flu market.

00:35:01.000 Pfizer has forecast $100 billion.

00:35:04.000 So it's not all bad news.

00:35:07.000 Albert Baller received $24.3 million in total compensation for 2021.

00:35:13.000 That's a 15% increase over the prior year.

00:35:15.000 So let's try and focus on the positives, okay?

00:35:19.000 It's not all about people that are vulnerable being ripped off with a 10,000% price hike or redacted pages or people being unaccountable.

00:35:27.000 When your neck's feeling down, think about Albert Baller and his $23 million gleaned, to some degree, from human suffering.

00:35:35.000 Covid vaccines have created nine new billionaires, yet more good news!

00:35:39.000 With a combined wealth greater than the cost of vaccinating the world's poorest countries, which, you know, presumably you would do if you regarded it as a humanitarian thing.

00:35:46.000 You can have nine new billionaires, or these poor people.

00:35:50.000 Tell us more about these nine people.

00:35:52.000 Am I one of them?

00:35:52.000 Pfizer, along with other pharmaceutical giants, have fervently opposed the patent waiver as it sought to preserve its control over production and distribution of the shots, which were developed using government-funded technology.

00:36:03.000 So there you are.

00:36:04.000 A story of fairness, justice, truth, and openness.

00:36:08.000 Oh, what?

00:36:09.000 You're still worried about the redacted pages?

00:36:10.000 You think that the only reason they redacted those pages is because there was information in there that if you had access to it, you'd be so angry you'd probably rise up and overthrow the government?

00:36:20.000 Those redacted pages were the plans for a surprise birthday party and Albert Baller was actually going to show up even though he's under no obligation to attend.

00:36:31.000 You're just like your Pfizer.

00:36:34.000 I mean father.

00:36:35.000 So there you have it.

00:36:36.000 Another story of Pfizer helping humanity, whether it's through charging a reasonable price for a drug that makes sense, or open, transparent, dark black pages of limitless nothingness leading you into a sort of quantum nowhere.

00:36:50.000 But that's just what I think.

00:36:51.000 Let me know what you think in the comments.

00:36:53.000 Let me know what you think in the chat.

00:36:54.000 See you in a second.

00:37:05.000 I thought you meant the person just doing the video.

00:37:08.000 Sorry, he looks a lot like you. 0.97

00:37:09.000 I know.

00:37:10.000 We were suddenly separated by a few years.

00:37:13.000 I made him out of a flake of me.

00:37:15.000 I made him out of a cell of me.

00:37:16.000 I made him out of a cuddle I had with myself.

00:37:20.000 I made him out of a mistake I made.

00:37:21.000 I made him out of a wish. 1.00

00:37:23.000 I grew a little bastard on a little Petri dish. 0.99

00:37:28.000 Oh, me and my children are so close. 1.00

00:37:30.000 I made him out of me.

00:37:32.000 It's a weird thing to have said.

00:37:34.000 Nice song.

00:37:34.000 Oh, it's good.

00:37:35.000 Thank you, mate.

00:37:36.000 I'm trying my best to simply free people from the tyranny of their own minds.

00:37:41.000 Band D Boyan!

00:37:42.000 So, even if they are telling the truth, that means that there was no testing, only marketing, since the redacted part, according to them, is a marketing secret.

00:37:50.000 Oh, do you understand that?

00:37:52.000 I guess, yeah, I guess what he's saying, or relating that to... Bandy buying?

00:37:57.000 Yeah, he's relating to the, um, Janine Small thing about, um, not testing it on the spread.

00:38:03.000 On this platform, like on Janine's, like on YouTube, that's where we got, we, so we nitpicked and tightrope walked around that subject.

00:38:10.000 But what I felt was, there was definitely a sense, like all that stop the spread crap, huh? 0.98

00:38:15.000 Like they were saying that, oh you gotta take this, otherwise you'll kill an old lady. 0.99

00:38:15.000 Innit? 0.99

00:38:18.000 They were always banging that drum.

00:38:20.000 Weren't they, Gal?

00:38:21.000 We've got a headline somewhere.

00:38:22.000 It might have been from yesterday, but we do have a headline somewhere that said that very thing. 1.00

00:38:26.000 Get a jab or you're a selfish pig. 0.99

00:38:29.000 I don't mind if people get a jab or don't get a jab. 1.00

00:38:31.000 It doesn't matter.

00:38:33.000 Do what you want.

00:38:34.000 Travis Mills, $5.

00:38:35.000 This is your trophy for having the best set on the internet.

00:38:38.000 Thank you for $5.

00:38:39.000 I appreciate that, mate.

00:38:41.000 That's very kind of you.

00:38:42.000 Monalisa77, anything done in secret meetings is not transparent and democratic.

00:38:47.000 Period!

00:38:48.000 And what about them doing those grow-ups?

00:38:50.000 And what about them doing those text message meetings?

00:38:54.000 That ain't right.

00:38:56.000 Do you ever do any deals by text message?

00:38:58.000 Let me think.

00:39:00.000 What, like... Booty calls!

00:39:03.000 I wasn't thinking that.

00:39:05.000 Is that what you mean?

00:39:06.000 Is that what you're talking about?

00:39:08.000 No, large.

00:39:09.000 Is that what you mean?

00:39:11.000 I didn't mean that.

00:39:12.000 Are you talking about sex?

00:39:13.000 Say it outright!

00:39:14.000 No, I thought, you know, business deals by text.

00:39:17.000 I do do some.

00:39:18.000 I'm a businessman.

00:39:18.000 Got it.

00:39:19.000 As you know.

00:39:21.000 Not really, not really.

00:39:22.000 Not for 900 million... No, nothing that's been financed by the public.

00:39:27.000 The public do not finance me.

00:39:29.000 No.

00:39:29.000 I've asked them, they've said no.

00:39:31.000 Right.

00:39:31.000 They said they're not interested.

00:39:32.000 Well, what did you call that $5 tip a minute ago?

00:39:34.000 Actually, thank you for funding me.

00:39:36.000 You'll get a little text message off of that.

00:39:38.000 And some transparency?

00:39:40.000 No, I can't offer transparency, not here.

00:39:42.000 What goes on in my financial office, that's my private business!

00:39:46.000 Now, My Brain, My Choice says, when they hide information, it causes mistrust for good reason.

00:39:50.000 And then on the simple subject of Lord God above, the limitless oneness that underwrites all apparent separateness, Apollocalypse 68 says, absolutely believe in God, but whatever you believe in is your business.

00:40:04.000 As long as you believe in the betterment of humanity and our planet, then we'll get along just fine.

00:40:08.000 Apocalypse 68, I couldn't agree more heartily.

00:40:10.000 I was a bit worried when you started saying apocalypse over and over.

00:40:12.000 Why?

00:40:13.000 I thought that might just be the rest of the show now.

00:40:13.000 What did you think was going to happen?

00:40:15.000 Apocalypse?

00:40:16.000 Like I'd gotten in a loop?

00:40:17.000 That's it, yeah.

00:40:18.000 Yeah.

00:40:18.000 Like I'm a robot?

00:40:19.000 Do you remember when there's that internet video saying that I'm like Katy Perry's Illuminati handler?

00:40:19.000 Like I'm a robot.

00:40:24.000 Handler, yeah.

00:40:25.000 How can I be a handler for the Illuminati?

00:40:27.000 Having known you both at the time, I can assure you that is not true.

00:40:31.000 The Illuminati, they've got to focus on their recruitment.

00:40:34.000 They can't just go, oh those were the days.

00:40:38.000 My brain might, oh yeah I've done it.

00:40:39.000 They were some days.

00:40:41.000 Some of those days were the days.

00:40:42.000 Cannabis, Project Peace.

00:40:44.000 Cannabis, hemp, biofuels, energy production makes fossil fuels obsolete.

00:40:48.000 I hope you're right about that.

00:40:49.000 I hope you and Woody Harlson, Project Peace, are right about that because I would like new models where we are independent of troubling energy sources, where we can regard this planet with great love, where we can break down all forms of monopoly, energy giants, bogus, peculiar, dubious relationships with peculiar foreign powers.

00:41:10.000 It would be great, wouldn't it, to run the world a little differently, but we're going to have to change our priorities, as Gandhi said, and I'm pointing up there, Gal, because that's where he is.

00:41:17.000 There he is.

00:41:18.000 Gandhi's always watching over us.

00:41:20.000 You weren't pointing to the heavens, were you?

00:41:22.000 Although he actually is dead.

00:41:24.000 But Gandhi, both in the heavens and that's just a stopgap on the way to the limitless oneness that Gandhi's now part of.

00:41:30.000 There he goes.

00:41:32.000 It wasn't an official choice, was it, to put him there?

00:41:34.000 That was you?

00:41:35.000 I did that on my own.

00:41:36.000 That's not a part of the actual set design.

00:41:38.000 Although that's why I'm keeping that $5.

00:41:41.000 Because I think that that person was referring to Gandhi.

00:41:44.000 We should go to, we've got to go to Alan McLeod soon.

00:41:44.000 What?

00:41:47.000 Hold on, don't you want to, were you going to say something about Elon Musk and stuff, Gal?

00:41:51.000 Well.

00:41:51.000 Well, should we bring Alan McLeod in?

00:41:53.000 Let's bring him in.

00:41:54.000 Five minutes to Alan McLeod.

00:41:56.000 What do you think, Hannah?

00:41:58.000 Bring Alan McLeod on.

00:41:59.000 Would you want to talk to Alan McLeod?

00:42:00.000 I think so, yeah, it'd be great.

00:42:01.000 Oh, there's so much teleprompter just went whizzing by.

00:42:03.000 There were so many good ideas.

00:42:05.000 So many good ideas.

00:42:07.000 But people have decided that Alan McLeod is coming on.

00:42:10.000 Now, what are you going to ask Alan McLeod before we speak to him?

00:42:13.000 I am really interested in the government kind of intrusion into this case with Elon Musk.

00:42:19.000 Government intrusion into the Musk takeover?

00:42:22.000 Yeah, as in why they've cared so much about why Elon Musk wanted Twitter versus, for example, other billionaire moguls around There are other billionaire moguls.

00:42:31.000 Media moguls, I should say.

00:42:32.000 I mean, look at Bezos with the Russian Post.

00:42:34.000 Was the same kind of interest there from government in that?

00:42:37.000 Or is it something particular about Musk that they're worried about?

00:42:40.000 Why does Scalise say, bring back Susie Creamcheese?

00:42:43.000 Why would you put that in a chat?

00:42:45.000 That doesn't make sense.

00:42:46.000 Why are you saying that?

00:42:48.000 It's not Ben Kingsley, it's actual Gandhi! 0.53

00:42:53.000 Put your questions for Alan McLeod in there as well, please.

00:42:57.000 Put them in there, we'll ask them to him if they're good.

00:43:00.000 Carly Hill, where's Gareth's horn? 0.97

00:43:01.000 Mind your own bloody business. 0.81

00:43:02.000 So I would think this is, Only Fans, Babestation, this is a proper channel. 0.99

00:43:08.000 Now I'm going to be asking, Gareth, I'm going to be asking Alan McLeod about, I would say something along these lines probably, it's becoming increasingly clear over the last six years, Alan McLeod, that these people want it both ways. 0.89

00:43:20.000 Bloody people.

00:43:20.000 They don't want to break up surveillance capitalism or come up with a transparent, consistent, legalistic, fair framework for dealing with troublesome online speech.

00:43:29.000 No, they actually want tech companies to remain giant black box monopolies with opaque moderation systems so they can direct the speech policing power of those companies to the desired political ends.

00:43:39.000 I'd probably say something like that.

00:43:40.000 Yeah, it did sound like you wrote that.

00:43:42.000 That's right, that's all I've got to say.

00:43:43.000 And not Matt Taibbi.

00:43:44.000 Don't be crediting Matt Taibbi for my work.

00:43:46.000 Taibbi's always taking credit for my endeavours.

00:43:49.000 So, okay then, let's right now, without further ado, speak to Mint Press's most glorious and golden son, the Scottish Alan MacLeod.

00:43:59.000 Hello Alan.

00:44:00.000 You alright guys?

00:44:01.000 How are you doing?

00:44:02.000 Actually, we feel pretty upbeat and pretty happy.

00:44:04.000 Now, there's been plenty of opposition to Musk's takeover, hasn't there?

00:44:08.000 All over the mainstream media.

00:44:10.000 Does that include government opposition in your opinion, Alan?

00:44:14.000 Well, clearly.

00:44:15.000 I mean, just this week, I mean, it's official.

00:44:18.000 Ellen Mutt now owns Twitter. 1.00

00:44:20.000 But there was lots of reporting going on in the last couple of weeks saying that the US government, the Biden administration, was actually conducting a national security review of the purchase beforehand.

00:44:20.000 Does he?

00:44:34.000 They were basically saying, like Bloomberg, for instance, said that the Biden administration was a bit worried, and I'm quoting here, as they see his increasingly Russia-friendly stance.

00:44:46.000 Now, in reality, Musk has actually been pretty bullish on Ukraine.

00:44:50.000 He's supported the Ukrainian government.

00:44:52.000 He's even sent those Starlink telecommunications satellites over to Ukraine, which their army is using to target Russian military right now.

00:45:01.000 However, he has said a lot of things online, saying things like, you know, let's compromise,

00:45:06.000 maybe we should negotiate, end this war.

00:45:09.000 And that ultimately for the US government doesn't seem to be the right message.

00:45:13.000 They're really not interested in that sort of, I don't want to say pro-peace, but at

00:45:18.000 least give peace a chance message.

00:45:20.000 And so ultimately, I want to say that isn't this very interesting that the US government can block some sort of purchase if the billionaire in question is not sufficiently pro-war enough?

00:45:33.000 That's very worrying.

00:45:35.000 We spoke to Tulsi Gabbard yesterday, and it was a very good, and may I say, very professional interview.

00:45:40.000 And she spoke about the influence and power of the military-industrial complex over the Democrat Party in particular.

00:45:46.000 And I suppose if they're dabbling in apparently private takeovers between sort of private billionaires, then I suppose that is a suggestion that there is an agenda being asserted from somewhere.

00:45:57.000 Do you think it simply is a financial Do you think it's an ideological agenda?

00:46:02.000 Do you think it is driven by the military-industrial complex?

00:46:04.000 Or do you think there is something beyond even that, Alan?

00:46:08.000 Well, the United States doesn't really make very much stuff anymore.

00:46:12.000 They basically make weapons and, you know, some food.

00:46:15.000 And that's pretty much about it.

00:46:16.000 Everything we now use is made in China or India or something.

00:46:20.000 But one place where the United States does have still a lot of control is over media and telecommunications.

00:46:28.000 And one of them is social media.

00:46:30.000 So when you think about these big tech companies that we rely on, we like to think of them as sort of transnational existing in the ether.

00:46:37.000 But no, they're actually bricks and mortar companies, and nearly all of them are headquartered in California.

00:46:43.000 And so they are subject to American laws.

00:46:45.000 And not only that, my research over the past couple of years into big tech companies, and who is actually making decisions about content, moderation, trust and security, really was very shocking to me and to people who've read it.

00:47:00.000 I was really interested in this when the big tech companies basically decided en masse to ban Donald Trump.

00:47:08.000 I really wanted to know who was actually making the decisions, but they're really opaque and I couldn't really get any sort of answers or any sort of information off of their websites.

00:47:17.000 Didn't you consider trying a little bit harder and stop being so lazy?

00:47:22.000 Now what will be the repercussions for the security agencies working inside Twitter that you've written about in your, some are saying not hard enough working, investigative journalism career?

00:47:34.000 What will happen to those embedded CIA, FBI type agents please mate?

00:47:39.000 Well, ultimately, I don't know.

00:47:41.000 If people aren't aware, Twitter is absolutely chock-a-block full of FBI, CIA and NATO agents, or ex-CIA NATO agents.

00:47:50.000 For instance, Dawn Burton in 2019 left her job as an FBI special agent, and then she just was parachuted into Twitter and became the Senior Director of Strategy and Operations for Public Policy, Trust and Safety.

00:48:04.000 And there are many more examples like this.

00:48:08.000 For instance, one of the chief people on Facebook's Trust Safety and Moderation team is Aaron Berman, who until 2019 was one of the most senior CIA agents going.

00:48:19.000 He was actually writing the presidential daily briefs that Obama and Trump read every day.

00:48:25.000 Although I think Trump just had them read out to him, actually.

00:48:27.000 But yeah, ultimately, a lot of people really don't understand how deeply embedded Trump said those things was boring.

00:48:37.000 Like, he didn't want to read those briefings.

00:48:39.000 You're not the only one doing investigative journalism, Alan.

00:48:43.000 We are as well.

00:48:44.000 And one of the things we investigated, and then journaled, was that Trump finds them things boring and they used to pretend that he was in them to keep him... Hey, you lot have been doing that to me, I've noticed!

00:48:55.000 So it's a good bit of news about you, Russell.

00:48:56.000 Go on, tell me a bit more about that.

00:48:58.000 And here's some other news.

00:48:59.000 Elon Musk...

00:49:00.000 Over Twitter.

00:49:02.000 Should we go with Elon Musk one?

00:49:03.000 So yeah, they are deeply embedded and they are high-level officials.

00:49:07.000 So this is not just some, I don't know, like it's beyond a revolving door.

00:49:10.000 It's an amorphous and diaphanous connection, a sort of symbiosis that's ongoing that challenges the very idea of them being separate entities.

00:49:18.000 Alan, did your increasingly half-hearted seeming research throw up any insights into how come Jeff Bezos was allowed to buy the Washington Post, please, sir?

00:49:30.000 Well, you know, I think ultimately a lot of people in Washington don't really like Elon Musk.

00:49:35.000 He's not exactly an outsider.

00:49:37.000 I mean, he's literally the richest man in the world, after all.

00:49:41.000 But at the same time, in Washington, there is an extraordinary consensus about all sorts of things to do with politics, the economy, and how the world should work.

00:49:51.000 Ultimately, Musk is a bit of a loose cannon in that sense.

00:49:53.000 He'll just throw out anything.

00:49:55.000 On Monday, he'll say this.

00:49:56.000 On Tuesday, he'll say this.

00:49:58.000 And it's quite hard to keep him under wraps.

00:50:01.000 Bezos, on the other hand, really plays the game very much down the center and so ultimately hasn't ruffled any feathers in Washington like Musk has.

00:50:09.000 And so ultimately, I think that's one of the reasons why there wasn't too much pushback to Bezos buying the post.

00:50:14.000 But there has been a little bit of ruffled feathers in terms of Musk coming over to Twitter.

00:50:21.000 Yeah, it's peculiar.

00:50:22.000 Sometimes I do query.

00:50:23.000 I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, in spite of being frequently labelled as one.

00:50:27.000 But it does sometimes seem that there is an agenda at play that goes beyond the simple acquisition of financial assets.

00:50:36.000 Gareth Roy is the producer of this show, and my sense is that he loves you, Alan, in a professional way.

00:50:42.000 And we might have a question to ask you.

00:50:44.000 Do you, Gal?

00:50:45.000 Well, it's interesting to me because obviously looking at kind of media moguls in the States and owning of the Washington Post, I've just mentioned with Jeff Bezos, the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, these are all owned by billionaires.

00:50:58.000 So it's interesting when we get to Elon Musk that there's such opposition to that.

00:51:02.000 But when you mentioned Bezos there, it brought me to thinking about his connections and Amazon's

00:51:07.000 connections with the military-industrial complex and the kind of contracts that they have in

00:51:12.000 place.

00:51:13.000 And so it seems to me like obvious that they would, if Elon Musk is going to chuck out

00:51:18.000 these members of the CIA and the FBI, that he's going to break that kind of link between

00:51:23.000 government and a massive big tech platform, whereas someone like Bezos and Amazon rely

00:51:28.000 on those relationships to provide so much money through these loads of contracts.

00:51:34.000 So do you think that could be one of the reasons why there's such kind of opposition to this?

00:51:40.000 Well, first of all, I do find it pretty funny how columnists at the Washington Post and Bloomberg are writing about the dangers of the billionaire class controlling our media system when they're quite literally owned by Jeff Bezos, formerly the world's richest man, and Michael Bloomberg, formerly the world's ninth richest man.

00:51:57.000 But yeah, as you said, Amazon has signed a number of huge contracts with the US national security state worth billions of dollars, providing things like cloud computing and other software and infrastructure for Washington and its various three-letter agencies.

00:52:15.000 Ultimately, people have talked about Twitter maybe being a place that fake news will abound

00:52:20.000 if Musk picks it up.

00:52:22.000 But ultimately, Twitter was already owned by billionaires before this.

00:52:26.000 In fact, the billionaire in question was Prince Alawaleed bin Talal, I think, one of the Saudi

00:52:31.000 royalty.

00:52:33.000 So nothing's really going to change in that matter.

00:52:35.000 I frankly, I haven't seen anything about Elon Musk going to, he hasn't said anything about

00:52:39.000 kicking out these CIA agents or anything.

00:52:42.000 I don't know how much is really going to change ultimately for the average user.

00:52:47.000 He's got all sorts of plans to turn it into this huge app X, he's calling it, whereby

00:52:52.000 it will become like a chat app, a social media thing, maybe a finance thing as well.

00:52:58.000 These are all sorts of pipe dreams that may or may not take place.

00:53:00.000 to come to fruition. But yeah, ultimately, I don't think people in Washington really

00:53:05.000 care about fake news. They've been pushing it for years.

00:53:08.000 Every war they start is based on lies. And so ultimately, it's really about the potential

00:53:14.000 of losing a little bit of control over the means of communication.

00:53:18.000 Alan, will you please stop calling him Elon Musk? Because everybody knows that it's Elon.

00:53:28.000 My apologies. 0.93

00:53:29.000 I just need to We have to make sure, even though it's Rumble and there's no censorship, we won't allow that kind of crap.

00:53:35.000 I think Alan's forgotten that you're a journalist as well. 0.74

00:53:38.000 Well, actually I am.

00:53:39.000 You could be on Mint Press, couldn't you?

00:53:40.000 Wait a sec, I could be on Mint Press.

00:53:42.000 I've got some of my facts right here.

00:53:45.000 Stay there, Alan.

00:53:46.000 You may pick up a trick or two from me on a number of subjects.

00:53:50.000 And I think military-industrial complex, you say.

00:53:53.000 Sit tight, Alan.

00:53:54.000 Because here... Are you nearly there?

00:53:56.000 Is it very near?

00:53:57.000 Stay... Alan, don't you go nowhere, just practice on your own there saying the word Elon, and I'll be with you.

00:54:04.000 That's it, well done, that was better.

00:54:05.000 Because your own name's Alan, it's not... You know, you've got such... You've got a good start by saying your own name, Alan, then Elon.

00:54:12.000 It shouldn't be... Okay, so...

00:54:14.000 Get ready for some facts.

00:54:15.000 Did you know, Alan, for example, over there at Mint Press, that the Pentagon spent 14 trillion dollars after 9-11? 0.96

00:54:21.000 The wankers.

00:54:23.000 Up to half of it went to for- my research said- Come on, mate. 0.99

00:54:27.000 You can do it.

00:54:28.000 Half of it went to for-profit defence contractors, and that's what pisses me off, Alan.

00:54:32.000 I mean, when I was researching that- That's why he does this.

00:54:35.000 I actually kicked over the bin.

00:54:37.000 You know, I went straight from the computer to the bin.

00:54:40.000 I kicked it over because of anger.

00:54:42.000 Do you ever get like that?

00:54:44.000 You know, if you go to Washington, D.C., a lot of the U.S.

00:54:47.000 is kind of in a state of disrepair, but one city that's absolutely thriving is D.C., and one of the reasons is there's just been this explosion of these semi-private companies that are just feeding from the trough of the Pentagon, all these trillions of dollars going into these, yeah, semi-private companies that do work All around the world, whether it's military or whatever.

00:55:10.000 In fact, there's whole areas of the suburbs of DC that are now called Raytheon Acres, which is a reference to the military company Raytheon. 0.93

00:55:18.000 Also, actually, Alan, that's actually what I call my testicles. 0.95

00:55:22.000 I call them the Raytheon Acres. 0.99

00:55:25.000 Oh, the Raytheon Acres!

00:55:26.000 They've gone back inside.

00:55:27.000 Well, it's a cold day.

00:55:28.000 The Raytheon Acres have been almost sucked up into my abdomen.

00:55:33.000 Alan mentioned Washington being in disarray.

00:55:35.000 I thought he was going to blame you for kicking over all the bins.

00:55:37.000 Well, they do do that when I'm cross. 0.90

00:55:39.000 Did you know, Alan, that the average taxpayer contributed about $2,000 a dues to the military last year?

00:55:46.000 More than $900 of that went to corporate military contractors.

00:55:49.000 That's just the same fact slightly repackaged through the lens of a taxpayer, but I still kicked a bin over when I researched it and did the sums required to make that transition, which I done.

00:56:02.000 How do you feel about that, Alan?

00:56:03.000 Well, I mean, if I was an American, I'd think, you know, we're paying $2,000 for this, but we don't have free healthcare.

00:56:10.000 We're paying $2,000 to the military, but, you know, our schools are falling apart.

00:56:14.000 There's a homelessness crisis, a drug epidemic.

00:56:17.000 All of this stuff is very much a zero-sum game.

00:56:21.000 If we're throwing all of this money at Raytheon and the endless wars that are going on all around the world, That means that there's no money for schools, for roads, for hospitals, for primary health care, for health care for drug addicts or anything like that.

00:56:35.000 And so ultimately, we're seeing the society of the US start to crumble apart and people are starting to turn against each other.

00:56:43.000 Unfortunately, they're not actually being focused at the real problem, which is the system of neoliberal capitalism, which is allowing this to happen.

00:56:52.000 Igressino over in the chat, in caps mark you sir, says, Americans are furious.

00:56:59.000 That's so, he's actually shouted that into the computer, hasn't he?

00:57:03.000 There's probably a bit of spit on the screen, at least.

00:57:03.000 Yeah.

00:57:06.000 At least spit, possibly more.

00:57:08.000 Alan, this is my final request, journalist to journalist, would you consider coming on our show when you're not in Scotland, which is where you currently are.

00:57:18.000 I did some research and that's where I happen to know you are.

00:57:22.000 Yeah, let's do it.

00:57:23.000 We'd love to have you in here.

00:57:24.000 You could stand over there where young Putin and Subi are.

00:57:26.000 It's one of the nicest areas in the studio.

00:57:29.000 There they are, look, lovely.

00:57:30.000 You'd be over there somewhere.

00:57:31.000 Would you be alright over there, do you think?

00:57:34.000 Yeah, sounds good.

00:57:36.000 Alright mate, well thanks for joining us.

00:57:38.000 Thank you for giving us all of that information.

00:57:39.000 And also, you've got nice eyes, stroke eyebrows, stroke stubble hair.

00:57:44.000 Thank you very much, yeah.

00:57:47.000 You'd be murdering guess who?

00:57:53.000 Because in my mind, that's how I get through life.

00:57:55.000 All right, I love you.

00:57:56.000 Thank you, Alan McLeod, for coming on the show and we'll see you again soon.

00:58:00.000 Now, Gareth, I'm...

00:58:03.000 I'm a journalist.

00:58:04.000 Yeah, following on from Tulsu's yesterday.

00:58:06.000 I'm an investigative journalist.

00:58:07.000 I investigate it, and then I journal it.

00:58:09.000 Yeah.

00:58:09.000 Hold on, what's going on?

00:58:11.000 This is the investigative bit.

00:58:12.000 Huh?

00:58:12.000 Yeah.

00:58:13.000 I've fucking done that! 0.99

00:58:14.000 You showed him a thing or two. 1.00

00:58:15.000 I did, I showed him.

00:58:16.000 I think he's over there licking his wounds now.

00:58:18.000 Yeah, I think he may... He's licking his wounds!

00:58:20.000 He may change his whole model now, I reckon.

00:58:22.000 I don't think he's going to want to be a journalist after seeing that.

00:58:24.000 Why would you?

00:58:25.000 You've seen the best.

00:58:27.000 Now try the rest!

00:58:29.000 Once you've seen journalism at that level, you think, I've been calling myself a journalist, but I ain't doing what that dude's doing.

00:58:35.000 No.

00:58:35.000 All of those facts of his.

00:58:36.000 I investigate it.

00:58:39.000 Then I journal it down into the journal.

00:58:41.000 Yeah.

00:58:42.000 Then that's my job done at that point actually, Gareth.

00:58:44.000 Sometimes I tell someone else what I've done.

00:58:45.000 For example, up to a third of all Pentagon contracts go to just five military contractors.

00:58:50.000 Give the other military contractors a chance!

00:58:53.000 I bet you can name most of them, can you?

00:58:55.000 Yep! 0.80

00:58:56.000 Boeing is one, Raytheon's another, Lockheed Martin, and then I think it's Ronald McDonald is the next one.

00:59:03.000 Sure.

00:59:03.000 Sorry, Hamburglar.

00:59:05.000 He's that bloody swine who always after the burgers, isn't he? 1.00

00:59:09.000 I don't know. 0.98

00:59:11.000 Gareth, I didn't care for the way that you asked that very good Amazon question. 0.87

00:59:14.000 Was it good?

00:59:15.000 Yeah, it was, because you were saying that Amazon have got those military contracts, don't you think?

00:59:19.000 Amazon, Arbezos, all of that.

00:59:21.000 I thought it might have been nice to have given me that question.

00:59:23.000 Oh, I see.

00:59:24.000 In pre-production.

00:59:25.000 Well, I had to make it up on the spot because you'd taken all the questions already.

00:59:28.000 They're on the teleprompter.

00:59:29.000 Well, I know.

00:59:30.000 They're for you, but I didn't think you'd ask me to ask a question, so I had to make... Well, I did!

00:59:33.000 Yeah, I know.

00:59:34.000 And watch out, because there's plenty more where that came from.

00:59:36.000 Well, if you could just give me a few tips into your journalism, then maybe next time I'll think of another one.

00:59:42.000 I'll give you a tip right now.

00:59:43.000 This is how investigative journalism works.

00:59:46.000 First of all, you investigate it.

00:59:49.000 That's the investigative phase.

00:59:50.000 Now you're into it, then you journal it down.

00:59:52.000 You just journal it down.

00:59:53.000 Do you need an actual journal?

00:59:55.000 Yes.

00:59:56.000 Right.

00:59:57.000 What are you going to write it down, the back of your hand?

00:59:58.000 Well, I don't know. 0.99

00:59:59.000 Ridiculous, that won't work.

01:00:01.000 Lockheed Martin, who I believe are a military industrial complex weapons contractor, got 75 billion dollars from taxpayers and that's just in 2020 alone, when I believe he was locked up in your house because of a cough that it turns out wasn't actually that bad. 0.65

01:00:16.000 Well, allegedly.

01:00:17.000 Allegedly.

01:00:18.000 Allegedly.

01:00:19.000 It turns out, I've right fussed.

01:00:26.000 No, don't, because what if Sam puts this on something else?

01:00:28.000 Yeah.

01:00:28.000 But it's not Rumble.

01:00:29.000 We're not free everywhere, baby.

01:00:30.000 Are we?

01:00:31.000 This is Rumble.

01:00:32.000 This is what goes on here.

01:00:33.000 We're free.

01:00:34.000 And anyway, you don't know what cough I was talking about.

01:00:36.000 Didn't say his name, did I?

01:00:37.000 I think we could guess.

01:00:39.000 Well, you could guess, but guessing ain't facts.

01:00:42.000 That's what they learned me on day one of investigative journalism school.

01:00:44.000 Rule one, is it?

01:00:45.000 They get you there, they gather you around.

01:00:45.000 Rule one.

01:00:47.000 Guesses ain't facts.

01:00:48.000 Bloody hell, let me write that down.

01:00:50.000 I know, I've not got a journal yet, because this is day one.

01:00:53.000 Leather bound or moleskin?

01:00:55.000 It's a moleskin.

01:00:56.000 Of course.

01:00:56.000 Sorry, what are you talking about?

01:01:00.000 Would you like to touch it, sir?

01:01:01.000 Judge for yourself?

01:01:02.000 What does your bottom feel like?

01:01:04.000 Smooth.

01:01:05.000 Yeah, smooth.

01:01:06.000 And if it tries playing up and not being smooth, I scrub it till it comes back to screw.

01:01:10.000 I won't stand for that.

01:01:11.000 No.

01:01:12.000 You know?

01:01:12.000 That's rule two of the journalist game.

01:01:15.000 Rule one! 0.99

01:01:16.000 Get yourself a journal!

01:01:17.000 Rule two! 1.00

01:01:18.000 Rule one! 0.99

01:01:19.000 Rule two! 1.00

01:01:21.000 Rule two! 1.00

01:01:22.000 My teacher had a speech impediment actually, gal!

01:01:25.000 So sorry.

01:01:27.000 So sorry.

01:01:28.000 How dare you! 0.99

01:01:31.000 As he would have said, how dare you!

01:01:33.000 Rule!

01:01:34.000 No!

01:01:35.000 Day one!

01:01:35.000 What?

01:01:36.000 What year was this?

01:01:37.000 Recently, very recently.

01:01:37.000 18th century?

01:01:39.000 It's a long time ago.

01:01:40.000 Rule one! 0.99

01:01:41.000 How old are you?

01:01:43.000 Get yourself a journal!

01:01:44.000 Rule two! 1.00

01:01:45.000 Get his own facts!

01:01:46.000 Rule three! 1.00

01:01:47.000 Investigate! 0.99

01:01:48.000 I don't fucking know that, I don't fucking know that, I don't fucking know that. 0.98

01:01:51.000 And then rule four, journal that down in the journal we told you about earlier. 0.99

01:01:55.000 I don't see what's so complicated, do you?

01:01:58.000 Okay, so is free speech finally back?

01:02:01.000 It certainly is over here on Rumble, where we're free to speech whatever we like, as are you in the chat.

01:02:06.000 Now, if you're not a member of our community, as I say it... That's what your teacher told you, isn't it?

01:02:13.000 Listen, he wasn't a very well man.

01:02:15.000 He wasn't a very well man.

01:02:17.000 He wore a personally made trouser.

01:02:21.000 He had to wear a specially made trouser.

01:02:23.000 Not off the shelf.

01:02:24.000 Not off the rack.

01:02:25.000 Not off the peg.

01:02:26.000 No, not he.

01:02:28.000 We've got a great week coming up for you next week.

01:02:30.000 Why, Russell?

01:02:31.000 I see you saying in the chat.

01:02:32.000 I'll tell you.

01:02:33.000 Right now.

01:02:33.000 Because we're going to talk to you about central banking digital currency.

01:02:37.000 You think that I didn't learn about that in investigative journalism?

01:02:40.000 It's all in there.

01:02:41.000 It's all in there, every word.

01:02:43.000 So we're going to be telling you about that because Rishi Sunak, who's a type of Prime Minister now, has been advocating for it.

01:02:48.000 We've also got a guest coming on, Dr. Bob Gill.

01:02:51.000 What?

01:02:52.000 Quiet!

01:02:52.000 Dr. Bob Gill will be talking to us about stuff that goes on, like healthcare contracts, the sly privatisation, blags, skullduggery, and a little bit of tomfoolery.

01:03:03.000 And on Tuesday's show, Eckhart Tolle.

01:03:05.000 There's no point bringing down centralised systems of power and then discovering that you're unhappy anyway because of something you're not resolved within the field of your own consciousness.

01:03:13.000 You must awaken, and we will help you to awaken.

01:03:16.000 When we are finished with you, you'll be so wide awake, you won't bloody well believe it.

01:03:20.000 On Tuesday, next week, at 5am PT, 8am ET, 12pm BST, JP.

01:03:28.000 You know who I'm talking about, dog.

01:03:29.000 Doctor... Is he professor or doctor?

01:03:31.000 Doctor Professor Jordan Peterson.

01:03:34.000 And on Wednesday, Jeffrey Sachs.

01:03:35.000 Get ready!

01:03:36.000 It's coming on the... Jeffrey Sachs!

01:03:40.000 Sachs is back!

01:03:40.000 Guess who's back?

01:03:42.000 Yeah, he's back again!

01:03:43.000 Sachs is back!

01:03:46.000 Tell your friends.

01:03:48.000 Guys, Jeffrey Sachs is on.

01:03:49.000 We're all doing it.

01:03:50.000 Then on Thursday, Books with Brad.

01:03:53.000 You can win artwork around the theme of the book 1984, which I believe was written by a gentleman whose name I'm not going to tell you because it's a quiz.

01:04:03.000 Alright, now if you're a member of the Stay Free AF community you can join us right now for a Q&A session where you can probably badger Gareth to play the French horn and I will give you investigative journalistic facts that's going to knock your socks right back down again so your feet will be nude and rude.

01:04:18.000 We'll see you next week for more fantastic shows and it is our explicit endeavour to get Kanye and Elon on the show next week at the same time and see which one says something controversial first, me, them or each other.

01:04:33.000 See you next week!

01:04:34.000 Stay free!

01:04:35.000 Bye bye!

01:04:35.000 Love you!
