00:00:01.000Thanks for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:00:04.000We've got a fantastic show for you today.
00:00:06.000If you're watching this on Rumble, hit Rumble right now.
00:00:10.000It elevates our content to the position that it should be, the very top of a pinnacle of reporting, a place where freedom of speech is valued.
00:00:18.000And you know what we use that freedom of speech for if you're watching this on YouTube.
00:00:22.000Not to create division, but to create unity at a time where division is being instantiated in implausible places.
00:00:31.000Why are the mainstream media not reporting on the Pfizer sting, even from a financial perspective, when Pfizer share prices are dropping?
00:00:38.000No doubt because of some policy changes around the issue of almost mandated medicines.
00:00:44.000But also, I believe, because 50 million people have watched now on Twitter, that sting.
00:00:50.000And were it not for Elon Musk being at Twitter, you know that the CIA, FBI, et al, would have had that extracted.
00:00:57.000You wouldn't be able to watch that stuff.
00:01:00.000We're also going to be talking about the conflict in Ukraine.
00:01:05.000Lula, the newly elected president, replacement for Bolsonaro, who was the kind of regarded as the Brazilian Trump, has said, look at this, Brazil's president Lula claims Zelensky is equally to blame for the war.
00:01:19.000In an interview for Time magazine, Lula said it was irresponsible for Western leaders to celebrate Zelensky because they're encouraging war instead of focusing on closed-door negotiations to stop fighting.
00:01:28.000It's interesting to hear that this conflict that's regarded as a simplistic and binary conflict where you're either pro-Ukraine and necessarily in support of the Ukrainian people and their suffering, if that's not your position, If you're inquiring about NATO infringement on former Soviet territories, that you're ultimately a fascist and that to advocate for peace and diplomacy is somehow a right-wing position.
00:01:55.000We'll be talking to Jimmy Dore, he's on the show in a little bit, so certainly stay for that.
00:01:59.000There's a peace rally being held in Washington that Jimmy wants to talk to us about, demanding a diplomatic solution to this war.
00:03:30.000And it seems that Donald Trump, who some people would say is in the same political quadrant as Morrissey, is advocating for the same thing.
00:03:37.000What I suppose interests me about this story and the outspoken anti-war voices is the attempt to frame any dissent as somehow right-wing and the position of
00:03:50.000Lula I think makes that a difficult position to maintain.
00:03:54.000Can we see Glenn Greenwald's tweet on that please?
00:04:27.000Putin's aged 80's yellowing phone to immediately negotiate peace.
00:04:32.000Look, I suppose one of the stories we talked about a little while ago is that Boris Johnson interceded at a potential peace talks between Zelensky and Putin.
00:04:42.000It's just extraordinary to hear someone in public life saying that it's a war situation, that diplomacy and peace should be the desired outcome.
00:04:52.000I think what's strange is how rare it is for the government in power at the moment to use the word peace.
00:04:57.000It just doesn't seem to come up that often, does it?
00:05:00.000We hear a lot about tanks and ammunitions and lethal aid, but we don't seem to hear the word peace that often.
00:05:07.000Because you have to inflate a particular aspect of the narrative to almost cartoon proportions to prevent the naturally emerging truth from bubbling up.
00:05:17.000Let me just read Greenwald's tweet, please.
00:05:21.000The opposition to the NATO, CIA, EU position on the war in Ukraine makes you a far-right fascist.
00:05:27.000It's one of the most laughably stupid narrative fairy tales yet disseminated.
00:05:30.000Much of the international left shares Lula's views on the war, because there, the left isn't Bernie.
00:06:02.000Another story we want to talk to you about.
00:06:03.000But if you're watching this on YouTube, stay with us because after we click over to being exclusively on Rumble, we're going to be looking at that Pfizer sting in more detail.
00:06:12.000And in particular, why the mainstream media not reporting on this story is evidently having an impact along with some other policy changes internationally because Pfizer's share price is dropping.
00:06:22.000Even if you don't agree with the methods that that sting entailed, you have to acknowledge it's a story worth reporting on this.
00:07:00.000Mate, the other thing I want to look at now is We talk a lot about Bill Gates and the more incendiary aspects of the Bill Gates story, his potential connection to Epstein.
00:07:13.000When Whitney Webb came on the show she said that his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was a significant one.
00:07:18.000I think when Kim Iverson came on she said that this is an amazing thing that Bill Gates doesn't, or through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, doesn't only fund the WHO, he funds other organisations that also fund the WHO.
00:07:30.000So the idea that we have of the WHO, its name sounds so sort of anodyne, bureaucratic and neutral.
00:07:37.000Well, ultimately it could be the plaything of one incredibly powerful individual.
00:07:42.000It's difficult to imagine that you could work at the WHO and be influential in policy and be Really sort of steeply at odds with Bill Gates, isn't it?
00:07:52.000You sort of almost necessarily have to carry some of these perspectives.
00:07:55.000Now some of the things we're going to say about Bill Gates and Bill Gates's vaccine timeline might get us into some contentious positions on YouTube.
00:08:04.000So if we suddenly stop broadcasting on YouTube, you know that is why we're doing it.
00:08:09.000Simply join us over on Rumble where we can speak freely, ultimately, about how power operates How we're continually divided.
00:08:17.000How dissenting voices are smeared and condemned.
00:08:19.000How democracy is essentially a charade now.
00:08:23.000How centralised, privately funded bodies are able to dictate global policy when it comes to censorship and where your taxpayer money is going.
00:08:33.000We want to talk about not the conspiratorial aspect of Bill Gates and some of his relationships.
00:08:38.000We want to talk particularly about Bill Gates as an investor and Bill Gates as an influencer.
00:08:51.000What I resent about Bill Gates is him presenting himself as a sort of a kind of neutral, benign, well-meaning nerd, when potentially he's a kind of nefarious figure pulling the strings of global organizations and dabbling in areas where he has no expertise, like medicine and agriculture in particular, two areas where I think Bill Gates has undue influence.
00:09:20.000There was a pushback, wasn't there, from African farmers?
00:09:22.000Like a group of I think 50 African organisations saying that the methods that Bill Gates was pushing were really not good.
00:09:29.000They're precisely the things that are nauseating our farms in these various African nations.
00:10:53.000It's watching that guy in that restaurant flapping around like when a bird gets in your house and goes all up the windows and poos all over your patio doors.
00:10:59.000But this bit We're looking at some of the content, some of the revelations, the revolving door between Pfizer and the FDA.
00:11:06.000This has been watched 50 million times on Twitter.
00:11:09.000If Musk weren't there, you can bet your ass it would have been pulled off that.
00:11:39.000Honey Trap techniques, I think, were pioneered by British intelligence to trap Republican freedom fighters in the Nation of Ireland era during the 70s and 80s.
00:11:51.000In this version of the Honey Trap, Project Veritas have sent out a geezer on a date with, um, is he called Josh?
00:12:15.000After you've done a sting, you can't then go, look, all the Pfizer stuff aside, I actually quite like you.
00:12:22.000All of the revelations about gain of function research or some variation of that hidden behind bureaucratic jargon behind the argot of Big Pharma.
00:13:17.000In our country, England, and in America, third date, that's generally, it's accepted that we're moving towards, let's get physical, physical, aren't we?
00:14:40.000But this, the bit where he comes along at the end, dear old Jordan realises now, and he's also probably, he's had a little drink, who knows what else, he works at Big Pharma, who knows what kind of chems are involved.
00:15:13.000Nah, this kid's been, he's taken to medicine and he's realising that the subjective world alters and that there potentially is no objective, non-local reality.
00:15:21.000The reality shifts depending on, well, neurological function and a whole series of variants.
00:15:27.000Well, this is where dear old Jordan's gone.
00:15:31.000It is real life, as far as we can tell.
00:15:34.000I mean, although the laws of physics do start to fall apart at the level of the sub-particular world, which Pfizer are probably working on, so they can get a vaccine out of a quark.
00:15:45.000If you inject yourself with this electron and spin that one in the opposite direction, you're still fucked.
00:16:10.000I think he should have gone home then.
00:16:12.000The minute that guy said, excuse me, I'm from Project Veritas, we've been filming you, that geezer, I'll tell you what, Albert Baller's going to be furious, because Baller did it expertly at Davos, didn't he?
00:16:22.000When he was followed around for about half an hour.
00:16:24.000He was pursued there by Rebel News, by that lad, Avi, I think he's called, by the dude that runs Rebel News.
00:18:01.000Who says something like, hey, I don't I don't know if you like me yet, but I'm involved in a bunch of nefarious, illegal scientific experiments that are deadly to the to the world.
00:18:23.000But the bigger thing was that immediately, just like with the Twitter files, the Democrat people in America, the people who consider themselves left but actually aren't, they immediately dismissed it because they didn't like the guy who was holding the camera.
00:19:06.000What this reveals is that, of course, every suspicion you had about Big Pharma and the COVID narrative is true, and that we've been lied to on such an unimaginable scale that our minds can't comprehend it.
00:19:21.000Today, I just did a story yesterday where UK is ending their booster program and they're not going to allow you to get, they're not going to offer boosters to people under 50 years old who are healthy because there's no need.
00:19:35.000In the United States today, I woke up to a headline, a headline from CNN saying COVID is the eighth leading cause of death for children in America.
00:19:45.000Which that sounds horrible if you glance at it and most people only read the headlines.
00:19:49.000People don't know that children are at a less of risk from COVID than they are from the flu.
00:19:55.000And that people who are doing this and doing headlines like that are what we used to call psychopaths.
00:20:01.000Those are the people that we weren't allowed to criticize.
00:20:03.000And you know the old saying, who you're not allowed to criticize is who rules over you.
00:20:08.000So we went from de-platforming guys like Alex Jones, which I was against from the moment it happened, because I knew where it was headed.
00:20:17.000We went from Alex Jones to the leading doctors and scientists in their fields to ex-presidents.
00:20:23.000Bill Gates is not a A guy who's out there looking out for your best interest.
00:20:43.000Him and Nancy Pelosi are the greatest stock buyers in the history of stock!
00:20:47.000How did they know that there would be this crazy pandemic that the WHO would then mandate everybody have to take this goddamn thing that he just invested in?
00:21:06.000Why am I always hearing from a goddamn psychopathic college dropout about the next medical innovation that everybody else is going to be mandated to take?
00:21:16.000Because the world is corrupt and run by a handful of fucking millionaires, which is why I live in a country where even though we went through what they called was a deadly pandemic, they still won't give us health care.
00:21:27.000We still are in a hundred billion dollar war in Ukraine while people are living under every bridge in this country.
00:21:33.000I can go on and on, but that video tells you everything you need to know about this culture.
00:24:34.000Why do we blow up the Nord Stream pipeline?
00:24:35.000Why do we want Germany to be at war with Russia?
00:24:38.000Because we don't want them to come together.
00:24:40.000Because it's all about economics, as always.
00:24:43.000If there's a United States involved in a war, it's about stealing natural resources or about hegemony.
00:24:49.000And so right now the United States, because Russia was selling up to 40% of the energy to Europe, so the United States wants some of that market.
00:24:57.000So now we're selling liquefied natural gas at higher prices to Europe than we are at home, and they're trying to get people in the United States to use less natural gas so they can sell more at higher prices.
00:25:07.000In Europe, and Europe is going along because they're being bullied by the economic hegemon that is the United States.
00:25:13.000I don't know why they're still going along.
00:25:17.000We had the Prime Minister or the Foreign Minister of Germany say that she's committed to the Ukraine people and she doesn't care what her own people say.
00:25:25.000What kind of a political leader says that?
00:25:27.000Is that somebody who's completely compromised by the security state?
00:25:31.000Is that somebody who they have compromise on?
00:25:33.000What is going on that somebody would ignore their own people's feelings over another country?
00:25:38.000So, I'm just letting you know that when America sends a hundred billion dollars to another country, it has nothing to do with those people.
00:25:45.000What we're actually doing is using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder in a proxy war
00:25:51.000that the United States, NATO, and the West are waging.
00:25:54.000And so everybody predicted that what we did was provoke Russia into entering the Donbass
00:26:26.000And so they had a peace agreement that said, we're going to stop shelling you, and we're going to give you even some autonomy, and everything's going to be okay.
00:26:34.000And that was going to be enforced by France and Germany and everybody else.
00:26:37.000They never enforced it, Ukraine never stopped bombing the Russian-speaking people in the Donbass, and then they ramped it up.
00:26:43.000So the reason why they had that peace accord, the German Chancellor admitted, was to give Ukraine enough time to build up their military, so then when they finally did provoke Russia to invade Ukraine, they would have a big enough military to fight them off.
00:27:42.000The United States are the America's terrorists, and the American people have no idea what our government is doing in our name overseas, and they have no idea what's happening in Ukraine.
00:27:52.000It's another proxy war for economic and for corporations.
00:27:56.000Read the book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
00:28:00.000Every time there's a Marine or an American soldier somewhere, it's at the behest of a capitalist.
00:28:06.000It's extraordinary and brilliant that you make the distinction between the American
00:28:11.000people and the American elites that operate on behalf of global corporatists.
00:28:16.000Wasn't it astonishing to see Zelensky crop up at the Golden Globes in a beautiful piece
00:28:29.000JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, these great Goliaths, listed as if they were the
00:28:35.000Avengers, as if they were great heroes on the world stage.
00:28:39.000Jimmy, before your participation today in this conversation, I thought that the list of demands that the anti-war rally that you're participating in were quite egregious and ridiculous.
00:28:50.000But having heard your oratory today, I think you might just get them.
00:28:53.000Let's have a look at the list of demands that the march on February the 19th are advocating for.
00:29:01.000Not one more penny for the war in Ukraine.
00:29:07.000Global nuclear de-escalation, cut the military budget in half and return those funds to the American people.
00:29:13.000So I don't care what you feel about any of those other demands, but if you are against the war in Ukraine, I invite you to join us February 19th at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC.
00:29:28.000And if you're against the Ukraine war, that's the important thing.
00:29:32.000And I also want to challenge the people on the left, like the people who claim to be on the left, but aren't.
00:29:38.000People like the Squad, people like AOC, people like Ro Khanna, who said he's against war, but he's for Ukraine, right?
00:29:44.000So, I want them to look into their heart, their supposed lefty heart, and be against this Ukraine war, because this is nothing but a proxy war, and people are getting slaughtered by the tens of thousands.
00:30:31.000Demands is dismantling the machinery of global capitalism.
00:30:35.000If you can support the rally, even if you can't join Jimmy and the others physically by making a donation, we'll post the information in the chat if you're interested in doing that.
00:30:45.000When you see a list of radical demands like that, Jimmy, it makes it all the clearer that what's really
00:30:50.000required is a new political movement that is external to the Washington machine.
00:30:55.000It's impossible to have conversations about freedom of the press, freedom of the media,
00:31:44.000So yes, and right now the only people speaking out against this Ukraine war or imperialism in general are people on the far right in the United States.
00:31:52.000People like Thomas Massie, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is pilloried, but she's right
00:31:59.000on Ukraine. And so I don't care if you're wrong on everything else. I don't care
00:32:03.000if I disagree with you on everything else. But if you're right about Ukraine and
00:32:07.000you realize that this is a proxy war that we need to end and stand up, then you
00:32:11.000can join us. And that's what I'm all about. February 19th, ending the war.
00:32:14.000United people in America don't want the war. Right now the far-right wing of the
00:32:19.000Republican Party just won the right to have votes on ending these wars.
00:32:25.000Now, before, Nancy Pelosi wouldn't let that happen—the Democrat.
00:32:28.000And that's because we have two right-wing parties in this country.
00:32:31.000We don't have a left-wing party in America.
00:32:33.000We have two pro-war, pro-Wall Street parties in America—anti-worker parties.
00:32:39.000And so, that's That's where we're at in this culture.
00:32:42.000Again, I don't know what's happening over in Europe, but in the United States, our government is completely captured by corporations.
00:32:49.000And the military-industrial complex, at the snap of a finger, can get $100 billion sent to the most corrupt country in Europe.
00:32:55.000And we don't even know where that money's going.
00:32:57.000In fact, not only do we not know where it's going, but when people want to track the money, People in power in the United States, in our Congress, block that legislation at the behest of the military-industrial complex.
00:33:09.000So we can't even track where that... So this is 100% corruption, and that's the thing about Americans.
00:33:28.000What they don't realize is the entire military-industrial complex is a big grift.
00:33:32.000We spend 10 times more in our military than the rest of the goddamn world combined.
00:33:36.000We are completely corrupted in America.
00:33:40.000People try to say, oh, we have to vote to save our democracy.
00:33:44.000We haven't had democracy in the United States for decades, and that is not hyperbole.
00:33:49.000Your government, your democracy was stolen from you decades ago, right?
00:33:54.000Which is why half the country is poor, low income, 80% of workers live paycheck to paycheck, 50% of wage earners earn less than $30,000 a year.
00:34:04.000We still don't have healthcare in America.
00:34:06.000You go bankrupt if you get sick, you get bankrupt if you go to college, and we're spending Endless trillions of dollars on empire and war, while we still have people living under every bridge.
00:34:16.000You know, I get up in comedy clubs in Los Angeles where people don't know I'm gonna be there, so they're not my fans.
00:34:21.000So when I get on stage, I'm talking to regular people across section of America, and I'll say, hey, you know, isn't it amazing we can send a hundred billion dollars to Ukraine?
00:34:30.000And you know if we're sending a hundred billion dollars in weapons to a country, it's because we care about their people.
00:35:39.000So they've been crushing people in America.
00:35:42.000And what the establishment has been doing, they implemented a controlled demolition of our economy.
00:35:47.000And what they want you to do is blame your neighbor For the pain you're feeling because of that, because your neighbor wouldn't take a vaccine that didn't work the way they said it did in the first place.
00:35:57.000Well, I'm not gonna hate my neighbor and I'm not gonna blame my neighbor for the pain I'm feeling because he's being crushed just like everybody else by the same oligarchs.
00:36:06.000I'm gonna join with my neighbor, and I'm gonna oppose the oligarchy, and that's the thing that scares them the most.
00:36:13.000When the left and the right realize we have more in common than separates us, and we share a common enemy, that's actually how shit gets done.
00:36:21.000And that's why I'm inviting people from the Republican Party, people from the Democratic Party, from the Green Party, I hope the Green Party can show up and be anti-war.
00:36:30.000It would be nice to see the Green Party actually be anti-war.
00:36:34.000So I'm inviting everybody from all, I don't care if you're a socialist, a communist, a libertarian, a right-wing Republican, a left-wing Democrat, I implore you to show up and fight against the hegemony, the imperialism, the war machine that is raping the world and stealing our future.
00:37:32.000If you're live around the beginning of March and we're going to be in the US from the end of February and then for the first week of March, I'd love to do some stand-up out there and see if you've got this unified hybrid audience that you're curating over there.
00:37:54.000You can watch Jimmy every day on Rumble as well.
00:37:57.000That was a fantastic contribution, wasn't it?
00:38:00.000Yeah, I was just watching. I just thought, like you said, everyone should be watching this.
00:38:06.000Everyone should watch that. It's like that guy's spitting truths.
00:38:10.000Yeah, it's beautiful to hear it conveyed from a perspective that is undeniably altruistic and
00:38:16.000philanthropic about caring for ordinary people. The irrelevance of our cultural differences when
00:38:21.000it comes to galling inequality of the scale that's been described and corruption that is truly global.
00:38:26.000I think that's beautiful from Jimmy Doyle.
00:38:28.000That should be on the curriculum at any school for people that are going to change the world, certainly.
