Russell Brand is joined by the rest of the Stay Free crew to discuss Kanye West's recent appearance on Piers Morgan's show, the rise of the British right, and Prince Harry's call for the UK government to continue to fund his security.
00:02:26.000you you Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand and what a glorious day it is.
00:02:36.000Thursday, this is when we introduce the entire crew and team and have a more broad perusal across the culture.
00:02:42.000Wherever you're watching us, X, YouTube, or hopefully our sweet home, Rumble Premium, you will stay with us for the next hour while we discuss a variety of things.
00:02:52.000Firstly, and foremost, over the course of the show, we're going to be talking about a quiet revolution in the UK, the rise of the British right.
00:03:00.000I'm just sort of worried that these are not, like, you know, when people wear wonky sunglasses, I notice it a lot about Bill Maher.
00:03:05.000We're talking about the colonisation of Mars, and we're talking about Prince Harry's claim that the UK government should continue to fund his security.
00:03:14.000Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat, wherever you are watching this.
00:03:32.000Please, Lord, we might be having a conversation soon.
00:03:34.000Let me know if you guys would be interested in that.
00:03:36.000Let me know if you'd be interested in a conversation between me, Kanye, and Andrew Tate simultaneously.
00:03:42.000And then I was thinking, wouldn't it be funny if we just called it something sort of relatively innocuous, like the Three Amigos and sort of wore those sombreros?
00:03:49.000And sort of talked as if we didn't have really complex, difficult challenges to surmount.
00:03:54.000I know a lot of people have strong views on Kanye, and certainly they do on Tate, and indeed me.
00:04:33.000You can reach out to all of them if you're documentary makers looking for novel angles to bring about my destruction, or if you have any legitimate inquiries.
00:06:15.000Why do all you people in media act like you haven't played my songs at your weddings or graduations or at funerals or when your child was born?
00:06:24.000You know, you take somebody that's living like a Lennon, a Michael Jackson, and you just take all this time to just, like, that nuance right there.
00:07:29.000Kind of compromised and not into it and enjoying it.
00:07:31.000Remember, I feel that Kanye West is the Andy Warhol of our time, where Andy Warhol introduced to us the idea that celebrity was a form of commodity by reducing ad infinitum images of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley to show to us that really these people that are reveling in specialness that we hold up as new icons and new gods are actually just commodities.
00:07:50.000Or as a friend of mine once said, whenever you see a billboard of yourself, remind yourself.
00:07:55.000In fact, that's simply there because people are making money out of you.
00:07:59.000Whether it's a can of Campbell's soup or Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, apparently unique people.
00:08:05.000Now, Kanye, when he dresses up in the outfit of a Klansman...
00:08:09.000Asks a lot of questions of us and uses interesting images to create a kind of tension and a friction.
00:08:17.000And like he himself says, he's created in his lifetime a lot of cultural artifacts that people really value and care about.
00:08:24.000And I think that the Kanye story is interesting because someone that's been at the white heat heart of celebrity culture is now a kind of maligned outlaw within that culture.
00:08:35.000Still, apparently, too big to cancel and entirely condemn.
00:08:39.000And I reckon when we look back at the sort of fractures that will continue, I reckon, to bifurcate, we'll see that Kanye West was one of the early figures that straddled both divides and told us which way the wind was blowing.
00:08:50.000In a sense, Trump defines it politically.
00:08:53.000Who defines it more than Kanye West when it comes to celebrity, i.e.
00:08:56.000the world is changing, media is changing, the way that we receive ourselves is changing.
00:11:06.000In the last election campaign, when Oprah Winfrey lined up with Kamala Harris and we saw all of those celebrities, I thought, the world has changed.
00:11:14.000It's changing because this seems irrelevant.
00:11:28.000Do you see that even the institutions themselves are starting to order?
00:11:31.000Maybe not so much in a country like mine, the UK, where the establishment roots are so deep, deep, deep catacombs, deep, deep subterranean caverns.
00:11:40.000But in your country, it's radically altering.
00:11:42.000New types of celebrity, new type of discourse, new type of rhetoric, whether it's sort of OnlyFans models or Instagram stars or YouTubers or streamers.
00:11:53.000There are new categories and classes of celebrity, but also now we have the interesting spectacle of people at the pinnacle of fame, and Kanye West is one of that sort of two to five people that know what it's like to be at the absolute zenith.
00:12:39.000So I had this vision of performing Hail Hitler at the Grammys, wearing a Swastika t-shirt and crying because we broke down all the walls of censorship to break down all of the woke and the Me Too and the cancel and all of these ideas between all of the tweets and the songs and the music and
00:13:02.000really, you know, all the threats, the threat of death, the non-threats of money and cutting off the finances and all that happened.
00:13:10.000We went through this war to really fight for our freedom as artists because you can't be artists if you can't You have to say exactly what you're thinking.
00:13:24.000And by you saying exactly what you're thinking, that's like That's how the universe moves forward.
00:13:29.000God puts these ideas in our head that we have to blurt out.
00:13:32.000I've been looked down and should have called so many times by control people for just saying what I actually felt, even though there are a lot of people that felt very similar to that.
00:13:42.000So to just be able to have these three words, nigga, hell, Hitler, to finally put it in three words that you wouldn't see together and to have been blessed to channel.
00:13:56.000The greatest song has been made to date.
00:14:00.000So, in a way, what he's offering is a challenge to our assumptions, an attempt to blow through censorship, a comment on the fact and the idea that censorship always benefits the powerful, that it's always a tool of oppression.
00:14:17.000Now, look at these arguments and contrast it.
00:14:20.000With this new, there's a new 12-foot bronze statue of a woman in Times Square.
00:14:28.000Now, remember the season of pulling down statues, whether it was Saddam Hussein in the middle of Baghdad, or the Confederate statues being pulled down across America, or even in my country, attempts to pull down the statue of Winston Churchill.
00:14:43.000A celebrity is the way a culture tells stories about itself to its population.
00:14:48.000So are literal icons and idols, like statues.
00:14:51.000Just hold in your mind what Kanye West was saying there about censorship, iconoclasm, and let's think about what the artist's intentions would be behind this statue.
00:14:59.000And communicate those inner worlds that we have, and sometimes we misinterpret with one another, to try and create an understanding and basically...
00:16:28.000I can't start banding the N-word around.
00:16:30.000Andrew Tate can maybe say it because he's a man of mixed heritage, whose father's black.
00:16:35.000Yeah, he can say it for obvious reasons.
00:16:37.000And in a way, it's a conversation we need to have because we live in a time defined by debate, conflict.
00:16:43.000Division, where even diversity, which could be a popular, helpful idea, certainly variety is an important cultural idea, is used to divide people.
00:16:52.000Diversity brings, it seems, division rather than unity.
00:16:56.000So if you think that that sculpture...
00:17:00.000Like, i.e., why don't we celebrate that which is often ignored?
00:17:03.000Then you have to recognise that art has a function and that the function of art is to have difficult conversations.
00:17:08.000So I would say, yes, have a statue, a 12-foot statue of an anonymous woman to bring attention and light onto the plight of those that are often marginalised and maligned.
00:17:17.000But by that same mentality, you have to celebrate voices like Ye's, true artists that are willing to get into very, very difficult situations in order to tell the truth.
00:17:56.000Mine particularly, yours and everybody's.
00:17:58.000Whether it's British government officials, demonetising people on YouTube, putting people in jail for Facebook posts, or the various other ways the nefarious systems and institutions that work, I reckon, for Satan, drag us down into the pit.
00:19:19.000We've got great people at Rumble working just for you to make sure you get free speech, the sweet taste of freedom, sluicing around in your gums.
00:19:28.000When major advertisers conspired to pull their dollars like dunking donuts, they said that Rumble had a right-wing culture.
00:23:56.000You know, they went and touched it all up, and I've been watching it just to see the actual images and videos and the voiceovers and the stories.
00:24:06.000Have you got a bit that you like best?
00:24:08.000I think the whole thing is just, I mean, it's all stuff that you've learned about in history, but to see it and to, you know, we've both talked about Malcolm Gladwell's book, David and Goliath.
00:24:19.000He has a whole section about this Blitzkrieg and how Hitler's...
00:24:25.000Was trying to just make fear become so crippling that everybody just gave up.
00:24:31.000Every time that the bombs would hit, every time that somebody would have a story to tell or they would persevere through the fear, they got stronger and stronger and stronger.
00:24:42.000So even people were hating on Churchill at the time.
00:25:23.000I remember thinking, no man, Churchill is sangrosanct.
00:25:25.000People can go on all day long about bombing Dresden needlessly, or the horrors of Gallipoli, or the mistakes he made in the Admiralty, but Churchill for me is like a living sign.
00:25:36.000Like, come of the hour, come of the man.
00:25:39.000Sometimes someone will absorb everything from a culture, sort of suck it into themselves.
00:25:43.000Apparently he understood iconography, he knew what the cigar was suggesting, he knew what the cane was suggesting, the cat, the V. He knew how to play the game of images and communications.
00:26:44.000I'm totally down with statues, by the way, of an anonymous black mother because, hey, I'm the son of a single mother and I know what sort of heroic work she did raising me.
00:26:54.000And from what I gather, it ain't easy to be a black woman in the United States of America and the reverence of the experience of any mother or oppressed class of person is well good.
00:27:05.000But also, greatness in the arena of public life should be celebrated.
00:27:11.000I mean, if people don't like Churchill, then replace him with, like, Starmer.
00:27:16.000Like, if in this moment, you want him to walk around just...
00:27:22.000Right now, Churchill comes back from the grave.
00:27:26.000Keir, Starmer, Kitty Harmer, Two-Tier Keir, we will never surrender to your bureaucracy, your corruption, your confusing private life.
00:28:02.000Now, listen, if you want to be a real hero, it's 2025 now, Winston.
00:28:08.000You can stand there puffing on a stogie, but will you push an earbud down your prickle hole to see if you've got the Billy Ray Cyrus, the Dirty Boy's Christmas Kiss, the bad blood?
00:29:05.000And would you like to see a version of British politics where the likes of Galloway, Andrew Bridgen, and even Jeremy Corbyn align, and maybe a resurrected Winston Churchill AI?
00:29:15.000Well, how long before we get AI politicians, man?
00:29:41.000Let's have a look at this Farage video.
00:29:46.000Is the UK about to have its own MAGA moment?
00:29:53.000Did you know that quietly in the UK, amidst the rape gang scandals, amidst the misappropriation of public funds, the agricultural protests, the locking people up for social media posts, a quiet revolution is taking place.
00:30:07.000While Tommy Robinson remains behind bars, Nigel Farage, leader and architect of the Brexit movement, is quietly leading his reform party, not that quietly actually, it's all over the news, to government.
00:30:20.000Let's have a look at this story and let me know in the comments and chat, do you think that Nigel Farage is the solution to the UK's out?
00:30:26.000Is he a British Trump or is he, as I once said, a pound shop Enoch Powell?
00:30:31.000He is a pound shop Enoch Powell and we gotta watch him.
00:30:36.000So, even though I've in the past had my spats with Nigel Farage, let's see if he's the solution to the current tyranny in the UK.
00:30:45.000A potentially seismic moment in British politics.
00:31:07.000Actually, it could be an indicator of a Labour Party government, a centralist, WF, WHO, globalist, warmonger government, totally losing the support of a population in record time.
00:31:20.000Two-tier care, they call him, because he has one tier of government for his allies and another tier of government for his friends.
00:31:25.000And there also might be another tier behind the scenes to care that people...
00:31:29.000Just can't talk about because of a number of injunctions.
00:31:32.000Potentially, his government is dissipating, falling apart and collapsing in record time.
00:31:37.000And it seems that Nigel Farage is ready to take up the slack.
00:31:40.000Nigel Farage's Reform UK wreaks havoc on both the left and the right.
00:31:49.000Of two-party politics as we've known it for over a century in this country.
00:31:55.000Really, what we want to see across the world is a transition in the institution of politics, not just the continual shifting and substitution of two political institutions, Republicans, Democrats, Labour, Conservative, that ultimately serve the same master.
00:32:09.000The rise of populism, most notably and obviously in the form of MAGA, has provided a significant...
00:32:15.000Obstacle to the advancing imperialism of our age, technological feudalism, and perhaps the same things happening in the UK right now.
00:32:22.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:32:24.000His party started with a by-election win from Labour on a whisker of six votes in Runcorn.
00:32:31.000Anyone who's ever said voting is irrelevant, how do you feel now with those six votes making the difference?
00:34:10.000Many people think that Tommy Robinson should not be behind bars for contempt of court.
00:34:16.000Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
00:34:18.000Whatever's going on, whether it's the refusal to have an inquiry into the rape gangs, the agricultural scandal, If farmers across Britain are in protest or Facebook posters being banged up in jail, the UK is in disarray.
00:34:31.000What will happen next and how will Keir Starmer lean into his personal resources as a human being and come up with solutions?
00:34:38.000Do you think he's got it in his locker?
00:34:40.000These results, I could stand here and say opposition parties always do well in elections like this.
00:34:45.000We successfully defended three mayoralties and, of course, Runcorn was very, very close.
00:35:38.000If you're American, I'm so sorry that British politics seem so tedious and boring that you have to sit and listen to these bureaucrat, dullard, pen, pusher, poindexters chatting about all sorts of crap, emptying themselves out, grey, insipid, off-milk smell to the politics of our age.
00:37:15.000We're moving like grease lightning, go grease lightning, I'm bloody well up the stairs, I'll get the money, I'll get the bleating money, oh grease lightning, I need another AIDS test, write down my PO, write down my bloody PO.
00:37:28.000I believe for some time that's the case.
00:37:31.000What I keep referencing is he made a big deal of having an AIDS test.
00:37:49.000You mean this popular online reporter that's criticised this during COVID and all our decisions during war, then all of a sudden some publicly funded organisations and corrupt media organisations do four years of investigation?
00:38:01.000Yes, listen, I've had an AIDS test for you!
00:38:04.000It's not for me to defend myself in the court of public opinion.
00:38:06.000I'll be doing that in an actual court.
00:38:09.000But I'm very grateful to my friend Tucker Carlson who posted this.
00:38:12.000Russell Brand was once a famous left-wing actor That's not even a joke.
00:38:38.000Last month, British prosecutors charged Brand with rape and sexual assault.
00:38:42.000None of the charges are backed by hard evidence.
00:38:44.000All of them supposedly took place more than 20 years ago, one of them in the 1990s.
00:38:48.000The entire case is transparently political and absurd.
00:38:50.000A near identical replay of the fake rape charges authorities brought against Julian Assange 15 years ago.
00:38:58.000He goes on to say some other rather lovely things about me and I feel that it would be remiss of me not to make absolutely clear that I don't put myself in the same category as Julian Assange, a brilliant, brilliant journalist and a fantastic man who made incredible sacrifices.
00:39:12.000Almost by accident I found myself in the position because of you, because of your loyalty as viewers, reporting on stories that turned out to be true, whether it's the nature of Rishi Sunak's relationship with Moderna.
00:39:22.000The way that Pfizer were concealing information from us, the potential impact of vaccines.
00:39:32.000I suppose, inadvertently, I found myself in a comparable space to Julian Assange, but whilst I thank Tucker Carlson for that very flattering comparison, Julian Assange stands alone, and hopefully he'll be alone spending 11 years in prison without trial.
00:39:46.000Now, Nigel Farage is the leader of reform, and if there is a British MAGA movement, it centres around Nigel Farage, and whether you like him or not, you have to acknowledge that he has been steadfast with his principles when it comes to Britain leaving the EU, an anti-migration position, and one of traditionalism and patriotism, which it seems increasingly is resonating with the British public.
00:40:10.000He appeared on a British TV show, Good Morning Britain, which I guess is like Regis and Cathy or whatever.
00:40:15.000Just a sort of soft-cell, soapy TV show where all of its former hosts have to leave because of weird stuff.
00:40:23.000Here he is, being somewhat raked over the coals, as I understand.
00:40:27.000And we're a party that says young men coming to Britain illegally across the channel should not be allowed to stay and it's extraordinary that in Runcorn alone there are 750 of them.
00:40:39.000But you've kind of whipped up that anti-migration sentiment.
00:40:44.000It's not "migration", it's "illegal immigrant".
00:41:24.000They just, as soon as they hear you say we want to control migration, they immediately march into the street and attack a corner shop owned by Pakistani second-generation migrants.
00:41:34.000British people are brilliant, beautiful, loving, robust.
00:42:28.000As I keep reiterating, he's not a person that I've always gotten well with, but what I believe in is integrity, authenticity, and I actually believe in democracy and free speech.
00:42:36.000And when people start to use those principles, whether it's free speech, transparency, authenticity, holding up a mirror to power, telling truth to power, if that don't go their way, you better believe as quick as lightning.
00:42:57.000Working class people don't understand the news.
00:42:59.000They shouldn't have flags up outside the house.
00:43:06.000I mean, you know, hotels may be emptying, but houses of multiple occupancy are here to be seen in street after street, and people resent it.
00:43:14.000If your alarm clock goes off at 5 o 'clock in the morning, you go off and work for 10, 12 hours on the building site, and the tax you're paying goes up every year, and you think part of my money is going for these people to walk into this country and live for free, you do feel there's a sense of unfairness.
00:43:29.000Some of those I was speaking to yesterday, they weren't making that distinction.
00:43:32.000One, for example, talked about You must even actually see Nigel Farage being able to handle himself like that.
00:43:41.000Keir Starmer can't have those kind of conversations.
00:43:44.000You've all seen the clips where, when it was fashionable to say that gender fluidity ought be respected, and there's certainly an argument for that socially between us all as human beings, he couldn't tell you whether or not there was a woman.
00:44:12.000Nigel Farage, whether you like him or not, he can chat normal on the TV.
00:44:16.000Me, if it was up to me, and I know that it isn't, Nigel Farage would ally with people like, say, George Galloway, Jeremy Corbyn, to create a truly populist anti-establishment movement.
00:44:24.000You lot should start thinking in that kind of way, by the way, getting across the divide, getting across those categories, and thinking about who are the true and authentic anti-establishment voices in the UK, because those are the voices you can trust, not the people that are trying to destroy them.
00:44:36.000As having come from abroad, as being a migrant.
00:44:40.000No, his father came as an asylum seeker, actually.
00:46:41.000Well, whichever one will help us win the argument we're trying to have while we unconsciously support the agenda of the powerful, which we don't even understand we're doing because we don't have any principles, because we don't believe in God, because we only believe in mammon, because we only believe in rationalism, we call it.
00:46:56.000But that just means discourse, sophistry and causistry, creating arguments that benefit us.
00:47:01.000Nigel Farage, man, I've got to tell you...
00:47:04.000Whether you like him or not, whether you have a history of arguing with him, as I literally personally do or not, he's better than them by a country mile.
00:47:14.000If you are a farmer, if you live in a city, whether you're a Muslim, black, gay, wherever you are, Nigel Farage, you can rely on that dude to tell the truth.
00:47:22.000He might be backed in financial ways that I don't fully understand, but he's a much better deal than any of that mob.
00:47:29.000How dare you say I've got a woman problem?
00:47:31.000Well, I mean, I think some people objected to you saying...
00:47:34.000For example, that women don't sacrifice enough in the workplace, for example?
00:47:37.000No, I said more women tend to put family above work, and men tend to be more selfish, is what I said.
00:47:46.000They're relying on their own evidence.
00:47:49.000Do you remember when you said that women were all stupid and lazy?
00:47:52.000Wait a minute, what could I have said that you are repurposing now?
00:47:56.000Oh yeah, that's because I said women prioritise family.
00:47:59.000Maybe because their primary function is to grow human beings in their stomach.
00:48:04.000And before you declare that as sexist, the function of men is to provide the sperm.
00:49:02.000And when I say hello, I don't mean hell is surrounded by the letter O. I just mean the old greeting, the nautical greeting that people used on ships.
00:49:17.000They're just trying to sort of get us into some etymological linguistic trap continually.
00:49:22.000And that's possible for them because they don't have any principles.
00:49:24.000But it helps you to have a female MP now as one of your five.
00:49:28.000Not just that, but Andrea Jenkins, or Dame Andrea Jenkins, is about to become Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire.
00:49:32.000And you're right, of course, it will change the look of the party, Maybe that exchange is an indication that Farage could be a British Trump, because he's willing to go, yeah, yeah, you're alright, you know, like, conversational, normal.
00:49:44.000When he's putting in pints of lager on his head and smoking fags, I never spotted all of that, that he's personable.
00:49:50.000People are sick and tired of these dry, dirged, tedious politicians and these condescending news broadcasters.
00:52:16.000No, the only reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to start an argument and I won't rest to everyone who hates each other.
00:52:20.000Then we people that work in media can keep our nice offices and keep pretending to be nice people when all we actually do is shit on working class people and spread hatred everywhere and then collect a paycheck for it even though legacy media is dying because people are waking up to the fact that it's completely empty and hollow and carrying the agenda of the powerful.
00:53:38.000Okay, let me know what you thought about that in the comments and chat.
00:53:40.000If you're watching us on YouTube, we're leaving you right after this commercial, and we're going to be talking about, well, who knows, was the team's in charge of it?
00:53:46.000I know that I'm going to be talking about colonization of Mars, Prince Harry's attempt to get you to pay for his security, and Portney on his F the Jews.
00:55:14.000It will fly to you in a matter of moments if you're only willing to part with a couple of dollary-doos.
00:55:19.000They've just launched the 1775 starter kit.
00:55:22.000It's like an act of civil disobedience that happens to come in a box.
00:55:25.000It's like walking down the high street with no trousers or pants on and socks and sandals, your genitals, possibly in a state of arousal or possibly flaccid.
00:57:30.000Well, tell me why this has come to your attention and what you want to say about it.
00:57:34.000Well, I just saw this thing going around on YouTube, and it was like a 2001 news report on the BBC, so it's always fun to look back at those.
00:59:46.000New generation of phones is trying to hit the streets, baby.
00:59:49.000Text, but take and send pictures as well, as Rory Keflin Jones now explains.
00:59:56.000When you want to be at the forefront and vanguard of technology, you look no further than Rory Keflin Jones, a man who sounds like he was born a million years ago.
01:00:06.000They don't even know that it's bad for children.
01:01:14.000I mean, I'm going to go back and look at Revelations and see if there's anything I can translate as get everyone to carry handphones around.
01:01:43.000Or outside Buckingham Palace, you working-class scum, you can take a photograph of what your taxes has paid for, whether it was the bus or, actually, Buckingham Palace, using a phone that you will additionally pay for, and then we will ultimately surveil and spy on.
01:01:57.000And if you text anything naughty on that in 10, 20 years' time or so, we will jail you for those text messages.
01:02:05.000That's dystopian Britain, Keir Starmer's dream, coming to you from the recent past.
01:02:10.000You can send your friends or family a photo with a message attached.
01:02:14.000It brings a whole new dimension to the mobile phone industry.
01:02:18.000Yes, it's probably of your cock or your tits.
01:02:21.000That's the way all technology ultimately ends up being deployed.
01:02:24.000...into the mobile phone industry, allowing people to take images, send them, and for people to receive not just colour images, but also text and audio as a message.
01:02:34.000The whole mobile phone industry is desperately hoping that in a year or so we'll all be sending these kind of messages.
01:02:40.000Even now we're spending over £100 million a month just on text messages, and this could be an even bigger money spinner.
01:02:47.000Sending a picture will cost two or three times as much as an ordinary text message.
01:02:52.000Not everyone's convinced it's the next big thing.
01:02:55.000The takeoff of texting did surprise a lot of people, but picture texting is something, again, it needs a lot more network capacity.
01:03:00.000And I think you've got to persuade all your friends to pay hundreds of pounds for this piece of kit if you're going to use it at all.
01:03:04.000So I think we're a little way off seeing picture texting becoming a mass market thing just yet.
01:03:09.000They once told us it was good to talk, but mobile phone networks saddled with big debts know their profits now depend on persuading us that a picture is worth a thousand words.
01:03:20.000Oh man, they did all that just to get to that cliche.
01:03:31.000I'll probably be looking back and saying, look, things were getting pretty dicey for a minute there.
01:03:34.000We've created a global tyranny, total surveillance, total censorship, and total cruelty.
01:03:39.000But we stopped it just in the nick of time by reaching back into the ancient past, the eternal present, and recognising the almighty power of Jesus Christ.
01:03:49.000Massey, though, you're a pretty committed atheist.
01:03:51.000What was it about this that made you...
01:03:53.000Why did you want to have a look at it?
01:03:56.000I just think it's amazing how much, like, mobile phones have changed, like, everything.
01:04:01.000Especially, like, people weren't on the internet until mobile phones came along.
01:04:05.000They were, but they weren't constantly, like, online.
01:04:07.000It was just me and a few of my geeky friends who got online in the 90s who were online all the time.
01:04:12.000When I went to America in 2008, I went for a Future of Web Apps conference with my old job.
01:04:27.000It was Trump's election and everyone had iPhones.
01:04:29.000So it went from 50% of geeks having iPhones and being on the internet all night to like grandparents, grandchildren being online all night.
01:04:36.000And people wonder where like Trump and all this madness kind of came from.
01:04:40.000And if you think about those kids there at school, imagine saying to those guys on the news, oh, don't worry, in like 15, 20 years time, through that little device you've got there, you're about to start your own pornography like career when you come out of school.
01:04:52.000And it's now like a pipeline to OnlyFans.
01:04:54.000It's crazy how much that technology is shit.
01:04:57.000Yeah, and in a way, for me, it helps me to acknowledge that when you equate technology with solutions, unless it's alloyed to a clear ideology and timeless principles, it will tend towards subjugation.
01:05:12.000And I'm not going to pull back from saying Satanism.
01:05:16.000In the end, progress progresses via the idea of mankind's supreme power to Luciferianism because of our inability to acknowledge our control.
01:05:26.000Our continual fallenness, our brokenness, that anything in our hands will service our brokenness unless it's in the service of God.
01:05:33.000But I don't want to drag the vibe down.
01:05:35.000Not when we've got Luke in some lovely sunglasses and Isaac poised to bring up, yep, that's right, anti-Semitism.
01:05:42.000Why this week is it that everyone's an anti-Semite, Isaac?
01:05:46.000What have we done now that wasn't enough?
01:05:49.000What genocide do we have to support this week to not be anti-Semites?
01:05:56.000According to Dave Portnoy, who has a bar in Philadelphia, apparently two of his employees allowed for there to be a sign that was put up in the bar.
01:06:06.000When they do bottle service, they come out with a sign that has, like, happy birthday, whatever, or whatever they want to say.
01:06:14.000And, well, as you can imagine, Dave Portnoy being a Jewish business owner didn't take too kindly to his employees allowing that to happen.
01:06:23.000So instead of it saying like happy anniversary or something innocuous, it says fuck the juice.
01:06:28.000Remember when you could get Coke cans or Nikes where you can get an individual message on it and you want to say like, Coke kills you or F off or the N-word or whatever.
01:06:36.000They won't let you personalize to that degree.
01:06:40.000And that idea of holding up a sign is meant to be within limits.
01:06:43.000Let's have a look at Dave Portney versus anti-Semitism.
