00:00:04.000 Brought to you by Pfizer.

00:00:13.000 So I'm looking for the CEO Looking for the CEO

00:00:18.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:00:21.000 Awakening Wonders, thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:00:35.000 A particular welcome to all of you from the Bongino Army like Beth Antwelve and Loris Mann.

00:00:40.000 You are most welcome here.

00:00:41.000 Thanks for joining us for our live stream in which we'll be discussing Kamala Harris's, was it a platitude by numbers interview?

00:00:50.000 Was it a softball interview?

00:00:52.000 Was it functional enough to keep her out of the spotlight until November?

00:00:57.000 You will decide, surely, people of America, people of the world.

00:01:01.000 Hello there to Mr Galway, who I met in person yesterday.

00:01:05.000 I'm talking to our Awaken Wonders there in the locals chat because yesterday we did a live show and all of our Awaken Wonder members can turn up And see us simply by, well we'll put tickets of Russell Brand in the chat there and you can come and see me live.

00:01:22.000 Including, and I'm pretty proud to announce this, we have secured from Tucker Carlson's team a handful of tickets for the live event in Phoenix next week where I'll be his first guest as he does a tour in the month of September.

00:01:35.000 So if you want a chance to win those tickets, we'll give you the chance to win them over the course of the show.

00:01:51.000 You'll probably have to come up with a question or something like that.

00:01:54.000 Maybe we'll just be the first five people to apply to them, but I'll give you a moment to get on over there.

00:01:59.000 Let's have a look at what we're up to today, you lot.

00:02:03.000 I mean, it's easy.

00:02:05.000 To forget, isn't it, the name of complex things like, I don't know, the Supreme Court?

00:02:11.000 What is that thing that the US government used to derail their political opponents?

00:02:16.000 He even called for termination of the United States Supreme, the supreme land of our nation, the United States Constitution.

00:02:29.000 That's right, the old supreme land of the United States of America, I think it's called.

00:02:33.000 My dog's just off camera, giving me agg.

00:02:36.000 One sec.

00:02:37.000 Good lad!

00:02:38.000 Settle down.

00:02:40.000 I feel a lot more optimistic about November since Bobby Kennedy joined the Trump campaign.

00:02:47.000 I don't know about you.

00:02:48.000 It seems that there's gonna be more people.

00:02:49.000 Did you hear there could even be a pathway for Bernie Sanders?

00:02:54.000 I mean, can you turn that off?

00:02:55.000 I'm still getting comments for, um, turn up the volume in the rumble chat, so I don't know, maybe just turn it up significantly if you don't mind, guys.

00:03:03.000 Is that alright?

00:03:04.000 Thank you.

00:03:05.000 Um, so, Is that possible and plausible?

00:03:09.000 A lot of people don't want the sunglasses on as well.

00:03:12.000 I mean, that's gone in an instant.

00:03:14.000 Look at that.

00:03:15.000 Immediately amended.

00:03:16.000 Is it possible that a politician so associated with the left could become a MAGA candidate?

00:03:22.000 That's pretty astonishing to contemplate.

00:03:25.000 Who would have imagined that Bobby Kennedy would be making a video like this?

00:03:31.000 Are you or your loved ones suffering from illnesses such as TDS, also known as Trump Derangement Syndrome?

00:03:36.000 Do you dismiss or deny the current issues facing our country, such as historic inflation, illegal immigration, corporate corruption, World War III escalations, and the chronic disease epidemic?

00:03:48.000 Are you willing to elect someone who was the least popular vice president in modern history, and who offers no policy or vision for America, simply because your brain keeps telling you anyone but Trump?

00:03:58.000 If so, you might be struggling from TDS.

00:04:02.000 Introducing independence.

00:04:04.000 Independence allows you the freedom to finally think independently once again.

00:04:08.000 Instead of believing everything you hear from the mainstream media, independence allows for constructive critical thinking.

00:04:14.000 I used to hear people on the news say things like Donald Trump and the movement he has encouraged are a threat to democracy and I instantly believed it.

00:04:23.000 With independence, I now realize the media is run by the Democrat elite, who are a corrupt oligarchy that censors free speech, silences political opponents, supports forever wars, and abandons democracy by anointing its candidates.

00:04:36.000 Independence may not be for everyone.

00:04:38.000 If you enjoy being lied to about your president's cognitive abilities, support Orwellian totalitarianism, or are excited about communist fiscal policy, independence may not be right for you.

00:04:49.000 Common side effects of independence may include an awakening of rational thought, successfully identifying propaganda, freedom of choice, loss of hatred, anti-narcissistic behavior, and love of democracy.

00:05:02.000 I used to blindly hate whoever my party was running against.

00:05:05.000 I didn't care about facts or policy because I was hopelessly indoctrinated.

00:05:09.000 With independence, I'm much more interested in policies that uphold democracy, and I truly care about the health of our country and its citizens.

00:05:15.000 Ask your doctor if independence is right for you, and enjoy your freedoms once again.

00:05:24.000 Yeah, what's wrong with that?

00:05:25.000 I think that's pretty good.

00:05:26.000 I've put the sunglasses back on because some people said that I ought to.

00:05:30.000 This is the kind of placatory attitude that's got us into this mess in the first place.

00:05:34.000 What we need are static facts upon which we can rely in a chaotic and Ever-moving world.

00:05:42.000 What we need is some virtues and principles that we can feel and resource from within ourselves that are abiding and ever-present.

00:05:50.000 Yes, the glory of nature suggests a creator, but more than that, the presence of a still, quiet voice within us that tells us when we're being duped and tricked and lied to.

00:06:01.000 You probably saw this on X posted by Endwokeness.

00:06:06.000 They post a lot of good things, whoever that is, you know?

00:06:09.000 Look at these Time articles prior and post RFK backing Trump.

00:06:17.000 There's why ultra-processed foods are so bad for you, which I think we generally accept.

00:06:21.000 Passes the kind of blink test, doesn't it?

00:06:23.000 The idea that ultra-processed foods are going to have a negative impact.

00:06:27.000 And look at this new Time article.

00:06:29.000 What if ultra-processed foods aren't as bad as you think?

00:06:33.000 Maybe you should carry on eating them.

00:06:35.000 In my conversation with Jay Bhattacharya, The Stanford scientist and outspoken critic of your government's policy in particular during the pandemic period, he, as a scientist who at Stanford would receive funding, agreed that only the clinical trials that are profitable are taking place.

00:06:54.000 You can imagine, can't you, The Jubilee that must accompany the augmenting and minting of a new vaccine program, for then you are dealing with populations not having to sell your medication to individuals, but to entire nations.

00:07:11.000 That's why you need to take back control of your health.

00:07:14.000 Here's a message from one of our partners, an organization headed up by the brilliant and virtuous Pia McCulloch.

00:07:20.000 Have a look.

00:07:21.000 America, listen up. 0.53

00:07:23.000 The world is getting more and more unpredictable.

00:07:25.000 Assassination attempts, rumours of civil war, unstable stock markets, and now the looming threat of bird flu.

00:07:33.000 Do you know there's a bird flu summit this October?

00:07:36.000 The first topic on the agenda is mass fatality management planning.

00:07:40.000 Doesn't that send chills down your spine?

00:07:43.000 The good news is this, you don't have to be scared if you're prepared.

00:07:46.000 The Wellness Company created the Medical Emergency Kit.

00:07:50.000 It's packed with life-saving medications like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.

00:07:55.000 Antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Z-Pak.

00:07:58.000 And it's all backed by experts like Dr. Peter McCulloch.

00:08:01.000 The kind of doctor we all need.

00:08:04.000 The kind of doctor that fought for truth during COVID.

00:08:07.000 This is his product.

00:08:08.000 A few clicks and this kit is delivered directly to your door.

00:08:13.000 Your medical emergency kit isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.

00:08:16.000 Protect your family by preparing now.

00:08:19.000 Head over to twc.health forward slash brand and do use the code brand to ensure that you get $30 off.

00:08:25.000 Do not wait till it's too late.

00:08:33.000 So that's twc.health forward slash brand and use that code brand to save $30 plus, I can't even believe this, there's free shipping available right now.

00:08:44.000 We'll be talking to Tony Robbins in a minute about his new film, City of Dreams, that his exec produced.

00:08:50.000 It's a Sound of Freedom-style rallying cry to end child trafficking.

00:08:55.000 You'd think that you wouldn't need to make propaganda to end child trafficking, but a lot of people seem to like having children trafficked.

00:09:04.000 Not only, of course, for labour, sweatshop labour, terrible enough, but for the most insidious reasons imaginable.

00:09:11.000 We'll be having a look at a The trailer from that film, which is out now, as well as chatting with the director and our man, Tony Robbins, who I love.

00:09:20.000 Ross looks great with that.

00:09:21.000 It gives a melancholy vibe.

00:09:22.000 We get so much conflicting information about the glasses.

00:09:25.000 I just don't know what to believe.

00:09:27.000 I need to rely on the views of a brilliant comedian, Theo Von, and a great personal development leader, Tony Robbins.

00:09:35.000 Tony will be on the show a bit later.

00:09:37.000 Here's the moment where Theo Von and Tony Robbins get a bit mixed up between Tony Fauci, and who's that other guy?

00:09:46.000 Who's that guy from the 1940s, little troublemaker guy, Adolf Hitler? 0.80

00:09:50.000 How could you even make a mistake like that?

00:09:52.000 It's like, there's an old phrase that says, tell a lie big enough, tell a lie big enough, loud enough and long enough, sooner or later people believe it.

00:09:58.000 You know who said that?

00:09:59.000 Hitler. 0.57

00:09:59.000 Oh, I thought you were going to say Fauci. 0.57

00:10:02.000 Well, same difference.

00:10:07.000 We're aligned on that one, brother.

00:10:10.000 I enjoyed that.

00:10:10.000 I had a nice time doing that.

00:10:12.000 I hurt myself.

00:10:14.000 I hurt myself.

00:10:15.000 That's what's happened to my head.

00:10:15.000 I was doing BJJ and I got a bit beat up and stuff.

00:10:18.000 That's the way that it goes.

00:10:20.000 Some people are asking whether or not I'm endorsing anybody.

00:10:23.000 You must know by now that I believe in Bobby Kennedy.

00:10:26.000 You must know by now that I believe the establishment needs radical disruption.

00:10:32.000 You must know by now that the greater threat to democracy are not megalomaniac Populist, ethno-nationalist, anti-globalism, throwback independents?

00:10:42.000 No!

00:10:43.000 They're probably wrecking ball, flying the ointment obstacles to the ascension of the authoritarian, tyrannical globalism that we must oppose, that we have a duty to oppose, that we must galvanize against.

00:10:56.000 We should bring together communities of progressives, traditionalists, leftists, rightists, in-betweenists to oppose.

00:11:04.000 The tyranny that they march so relentlessly towards us while we still can because we have big issues to confront.

00:11:12.000 We are being poisoned and they call it food.

00:11:15.000 We are being intoxicated and they call it medicine.

00:11:17.000 We're being lied to and they call it news.

00:11:20.000 If you're watching us on YouTube we'll be there for another couple of minutes but then we'll be available exclusively on the sweet stream of freedom that we call Rumble that protects our right to stream to you freely and unedited.

00:11:33.000 When you watch, as I occasionally do, Inside... Is it Inside with Jen Psaki?

00:11:39.000 I know it's got a sort of an oddly evocative... The glasses are going back on.

00:11:42.000 I mean, it's causing a lot of trouble over there.

00:11:44.000 When you watch Inside or within Jen Psaki, it's got some sort of vaguely evocative title.

00:11:50.000 You will see how propaganda works and how people can move from White House press office to MSNBC or CNN pundit almost effortlessly.

00:11:59.000 Indeed, we'll be watching and picking apart, with great scrutiny, the Kamala Harris-Tim Waltz CNN propaganda gambit after we leave you guys on YouTube.

00:12:09.000 But first, let's have a look at one of the great harbingers of state propaganda, Jen Psaki, talking to Don Lemon, Cast out to the periphery, Don Lemon, cast out to the periphery, telling Jen Psaki that not all black people loathe Donald Trump.

00:12:30.000 Let's have a look at her astonishment when she learns that.

00:12:35.000 Was there anything, what did they think about Harris?

00:12:37.000 Did they have anything to say about her?

00:12:39.000 Uh, they did have... With Jen Psaki. 1.00

00:12:42.000 Listen, um... Glasses are crooked, excuse me.

00:12:46.000 It depends on where you are.

00:12:48.000 We went to a number of different battleground states in Pennsylvania, Ohio, we were in Michigan, Indiana, on our way, obviously, Illinois, on our way to Chicago.

00:12:59.000 And it sort of depended on where you were.

00:13:01.000 Pennsylvania, well, I shouldn't say Pennsylvania, I should say Philadelphia, was a bit more liberal and the answers to the questions about her and him were quite different.

00:13:11.000 But for the most part, in Pittsburgh, or at the Jersey Shore, in Atlantic City, in Ohio especially, many people did not know who she was, right?

00:13:22.000 They weren't familiar with her, so I think she has to reintroduce herself to the public. 0.92

00:13:27.000 But for him, I think that they thought that he's better for the economy, and that again, that he gave them, that he brought money into the community, or that he was on black people's side.

00:13:38.000 Don't actually even know who Kamala Harris is.

00:13:41.000 You're gonna have to work on that propaganda a little bit harder.

00:13:44.000 If you're watching us on YouTube, we're getting the countdown now.

00:13:46.000 We are... I'm sorry, we're leaving you.

00:13:50.000 It's not you, it's us.

00:13:51.000 It's not even actually us.

00:13:53.000 It's the fact that YouTube belongs to an alliance of massive media megaliths and corporatists that will ensure that the views that you gain access to make you obedient and compliant.

00:14:05.000 Turn you acquiescent.

00:14:07.000 And we want more for you.

00:14:08.000 We want you to be recalcitrant.

00:14:10.000 We want you to oppose.

00:14:12.000 We want you to be free.

00:14:13.000 We know that your freedom doesn't affect my freedom, so click that link in the description.

00:14:17.000 And you might get a chance to win tickets to see me and Taka Carlson on the 4th, just as soon as I think of a question.

00:14:25.000 And I will think of a question.

00:14:28.000 Let's get into our main story today.

00:14:31.000 Kamala Harris has confronted the naysayers.

00:14:35.000 Those that say she's incapable of doing an interview, why don't you feast upon this banquet of platitudes?

00:14:42.000 Those of you that say Kamala Harris is incapable of being spontaneous without That sort of living life preserve, that human emotional support animal, Tim Waltz.

00:14:54.000 Eat this!

00:14:55.000 Why don't ya?

00:14:56.000 Because here she is on CNN answering not entirely softball questions because there are some challenging questions.

00:15:04.000 She just ignores those questions.

00:15:07.000 It's a staggering exercise really.

00:15:10.000 Here's Dana Bash Asking Kamala Harris the obvious question.

00:15:14.000 We're going to get into some of the various areas. 0.82

00:15:15.000 The hypocrisies.

00:15:17.000 We'll get into the fracking idea.

00:15:19.000 We'll look at all of it.

00:15:20.000 We'll look at the moment where she sort of ludicrously focuses on sizzling bacon in a pan instead of observing that Joe Biden's secession as president would mean that she would be president. 0.99

00:15:32.000 Which is the sort of thing you would surely notice if you were vice president.

00:15:36.000 I mean, the whole thing about vice presidency is that vice component.

00:15:40.000 It's entirely defined by its prefix.

00:15:42.000 You can't imagine that if you got a call from the president saying, oh, I don't feel very well, that jigs up, love.

00:15:49.000 That debate, everyone saw it.

00:15:50.000 Well, everyone's seen it long before, but they could no longer deny it.

00:15:53.000 Hang on, Joe!

00:15:55.000 Just focus it on the bacon and the nieces! 1.00

00:15:58.000 Huey, Louie and Dewey around!

00:16:00.000 Gotta focus on the ducktales, baby!

00:16:04.000 Well, many of you might find that hard to swallow.

00:16:08.000 And Joe Biden may be many things, but he ain't hard to follow.

00:16:12.000 Here is Kamala Doing her great festival of platitudes on CNN.

00:16:19.000 Vice President Harris, you were a very staunch defender of President Biden's capacity to serve another four years.

00:16:25.000 Right after the debate, you insisted that President Biden is extraordinarily strong.

00:16:30.000 Given where we are now, do you have any regrets about what you told the American people?

00:16:35.000 No, not at all.

00:16:37.000 Not at all.

00:16:38.000 I have Served with President Biden for almost four years now and I'll tell you it's one of the greatest honors of my career, truly.

00:16:49.000 He cares so... Anyone that's been vice president, you'd have to, it's not among the greatest honors of my career.

00:16:56.000 There's that bit where I was an attorney, there's that bit...

00:17:00.000 Where I prolonged needlessly the sentences of jailed people.

00:17:03.000 There's this endless attempt to fit in with sets and alliances that seem hell-bent on imposing and controlling the freedoms of ordinary people.

00:17:15.000 But also I was vice president for a while and that was Fantastic.

00:17:17.000 Yeah, someone in the Awaken Wonder chat has posted a meme about the increasing net worth of politicians while in power, in particular Biden and Harris, who have seen their net worth, according to this meme at least, increase rapidly.

00:17:31.000 Certainly it's a commonly trodden path for any politician.

00:17:35.000 Increased wealth while serving the public.

00:17:38.000 It's the kind of basic principle that we don't get enough time to discuss, isn't it?

00:17:42.000 That positions of government ought be truly ministry, and to minister means to serve.

00:17:49.000 You should see these people as locked into service for you.

00:17:54.000 Not peculiar brokers of arms deals and war games responding to the tug of corporate strings endlessly, issuing on CNN blandness and platitudes amidst their bacon.

00:18:11.000 These should be seen as servants of the public.

00:18:14.000 There's something about Kamala Harris that I kind of still like.

00:18:18.000 Don't you sometimes try and see The obvious humanity that must be present in any individual given that we're made in his likeness.

00:18:26.000 It's there.

00:18:27.000 It's there in all of us.

00:18:29.000 We're all in serious trouble if we don't ask for help together.

00:18:34.000 This moment, though, does make you wonder.

00:18:36.000 It's one of my favourite moments from the interview.

00:18:38.000 It's the moment where Kamala touches upon the moment where Joe Biden called her.

00:18:45.000 She uses this as an obvious opportunity to talk about domesticity and to render yet more half-arsed ersatz and phatic claptrap. 1.00

00:19:00.000 Here it is.

00:19:01.000 When he called you and said he was pulling out of the race, what was that like?

00:19:05.000 And did he offer to endorse you right away or did you ask for it?

00:19:09.000 It was a Sunday.

00:19:14.000 I remember the day.

00:19:15.000 It was moon day.

00:19:17.000 Thor's day, the god Thor.

00:19:20.000 Mekradi, Odin's day. 0.92

00:19:21.000 Wednesday.

00:19:22.000 It was a Sunday, the day of the sun.

00:19:24.000 It's named after the sun.

00:19:25.000 Here, I'll give you a little too much information.

00:19:28.000 Go for it.

00:19:28.000 There's no such thing, Madam Vice President.

00:19:31.000 My family was staying with us.

00:19:34.000 I'm just regular like you.

00:19:36.000 I'm just regular like you.

00:19:39.000 I can make millions if I want to.

00:19:41.000 I can have endless wars if that's necessary.

00:19:45.000 But the whole thing is performative, isn't it?

00:19:51.000 It's gotten to the point where it's so shellacting claptrap that you can't really detect a reality underneath it anymore.

00:20:00.000 It was a Sunday.

00:20:01.000 I was with my family.

00:20:02.000 Subtext, I'm just like you.

00:20:04.000 Um, including my baby nieces.

00:20:09.000 And we had just had pancakes and, you know, Auntie, can I have more bacon?

00:20:15.000 Yes, I'll make you more bacon.

00:20:17.000 And then we were going to sit, we were sitting down to do a puzzle.

00:20:24.000 And the phone rang and it was Joe Biden.

00:20:26.000 That's true.

00:20:27.000 I hope that's how the world works.

00:20:28.000 I hope that's how power functions.

00:20:30.000 I hope that it's not all about extraordinary relationships with balkanised, galvanised, carved up nations.

00:20:36.000 I hope it's nothing to do with CIA bases in the Ukraine.

00:20:40.000 I hope that Biden didn't receive significant sums from companies and corporations that subsequently employed Hunter Biden.

00:20:48.000 I hope that there aren't corporations that prevent legislation ever being passed that would meaningfully impact the ability of the pharmaceutical industry to name but one to continue to profit and exploit ordinary people.

00:21:00.000 I hope that America is still won by people with a sizzling pan of bacon and a bunch of nieces.

00:21:06.000 I hope that that's still the kind of ominous America that exists somewhere, but I can't help but think that this is a carefully managed piece of TV propaganda.

00:21:19.000 You can't allow dear old Tim Walz and Kamala Harris to just take on a duck walk of public conversation.

00:21:27.000 You can't allow your views to stream freely into political spaces.

00:21:31.000 I think they know already.

00:21:33.000 I think they've long known that they've lost us.

00:21:35.000 I think they know the game is up.

00:21:37.000 I think really what we will experience now are a series of mediocre bureaucratic officials, unless there is some sort of another anomalous event, I'm talking something that disrupts, whether that's a Trump presidency or a Brexit or a movement that's outside of the mainframe and the mainstream.

00:21:55.000 I don't know where it will come from, the left or the right, I don't think it even matters.

00:21:58.000 What I think matters is the disruption of the establishment because without that, I think we're going to be managed into total control, the legitimization of total control.

00:22:07.000 You will see the pieces falling into place, this piece of technology, this piece of legislation, these anti-protest laws, this division in this nation, these cultural fractions, these new edicts that determine that people can't grow their own food or even farming in a scale that was recognizable 10, 20 years ago will be pared down and controlled and redistributed.

00:22:31.000 Unless something extraordinary happens, seems like that's the way we're going.

00:22:35.000 And I don't think that you can disrupt that over a sizzling pan of bacon fat.

00:22:41.000 And, um, and he told me what he had decided to do.

00:22:44.000 And, um... I asked him, are you sure?

00:22:51.000 And he said yes.

00:22:53.000 And, um...

00:22:56.000 And that's how I learned about it.

00:22:57.000 And what about the endorsement?

00:22:59.000 Did you ask for it?

00:23:02.000 He was very clear that he was going to support me.

00:23:04.000 So when he called to tell you, he said, I'm pulling out of the race and I'm going to support you. 1.00

00:23:07.000 Well, my first thought was not about me, to be honest with you.

00:23:10.000 I don't really think about myself.

00:23:13.000 You know, like people try and sell you the idea.

00:23:16.000 Yeah, I don't really think about myself when the president calls me and says I don't need a president anymore.

00:23:22.000 I don't really think about the connotations.

00:23:25.000 I suppose that does make me president.

00:23:27.000 I better... I better turn this bacon down, actually, because it seems like we're on the brink of, like, massive wars all over the world.

00:23:34.000 I should probably do something about that.

00:23:35.000 And it seems like, actually, the whole government's been captured by a corporate class, and we've condemned and damned through propaganda, like, half of the population, and created, like, a metropolitan elite class that spends all of their time sneeringly damning blue-collar and working men.

00:23:50.000 I should probably do something about that, now that I'm president.

00:23:52.000 I don't really think like that.

00:23:54.000 Just, I don't know.

00:23:55.000 You know that Don McLean song, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you?

00:24:02.000 I'm a bit like that, the subject.

00:24:04.000 I'm a bit like Van Gogh.

00:24:05.000 My first thought was about him, to be honest.

00:24:12.000 I think history is going to show a number of things about Joe Biden's presidency.

00:24:17.000 I think history is going to show that... History's not like an independent... History's not God, is it?

00:24:23.000 History?

00:24:24.000 Hello!

00:24:25.000 Ho ho ho! 1.00

00:24:27.000 I am history!

00:24:28.000 History, Churchill would tell you, is written by the victims. 0.76

00:24:31.000 History, Foucault would tell you, is deliberately superficial and amounts to propaganda.

00:24:36.000 History is a set of ideas that are pushed in order to put you in a particular perspective.

00:24:41.000 That's why if someone comes up with Interesting and novel ideas about perhaps ancient civilizations or why someone pushes, if someone pushes a spiritual purview.

00:24:50.000 They're condemned as maniacs and lunatics.

00:24:52.000 There's no objectivity in history. 0.95

00:24:55.000 History is merely the undergirding of the current order.

00:24:58.000 And if history did have any objectivity, it'd go, Joe Biden, hmm, career politician, utterly corrupt, corrupt in every way conceivable, you can look at his voting records, you can look at his career, he was completely in the hock of corporations, completely in the business of war, seems to be a man without ethics, and I'm beginning to wonder if he even had a fight with Corn Pop.

00:25:17.000 In so many ways it was transformative, be it on What we have accomplished around finally investing in America's infrastructure, investing in new economies, in new industries.

00:25:30.000 What we have done to bring our allies back together and have confidence in who we are as America and grow that alliance.

00:25:39.000 What we have done to stand true to our principles, including one of the most important international rules and norms, which is the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

00:25:50.000 And I think history is going to show not only has Joe Biden led an administration that has achieved those extraordinary successes, but the character of the man is one that he has been in his life and career, including as a president, quite selfless and puts the American people first.

00:26:13.000 He was dragged out of that office, wasn't he, by Pelosi and the Clintons and the Obamas.

00:26:19.000 They didn't know what to do.

00:26:20.000 His own wife, in the end, out to throw him under a bus.

00:26:23.000 It was an absolute spectacle of elder abuse and lunacy.

00:26:28.000 And look at what has spawned yet another Political candidate who can only be accommodated in environments that are plushy and cushy and soft and platitudinous that don't allow for interrogation when it comes to war or even civil tax policies actually that have been announced like a capital gains tax which sounds pretty bloody confusing to me is an 0.83

00:26:55.000 Outrage is ludicrous and ridiculous and even CNN in their own post-mortem seem to be in damage control mode.

00:27:05.000 It wasn't a huge, I don't think she moved the ball that much forward. 0.90

00:27:08.000 I don't think there's a policy separation that they've created with Biden.

00:27:12.000 Obviously she gave a kind of personal defense of him.

00:27:14.000 Now you might not like the way she answered him but she answered him as a capable qualified leader and I do think she I think she moved the ball forward a little bit.

00:27:23.000 You know, maybe she didn't score a touchdown today. 1.00

00:27:24.000 I think the two biggest issues coming out of Biden for her are the economic policies, which she clearly wants to embrace, but also the immigration policies.

00:27:32.000 Dana asked her if she had anything to say about what they did for three and a half years leading up until the back and forth this year.

00:27:38.000 Completely sidestepped it, did not answer it.

00:27:41.000 She goes back to her time as attorney general, but again, absolutely nothing, nothing.

00:27:46.000 No responsibility, no reflection at all on the day one executive actions or anything else they did for three and a half years or anything she said in her previous campaign which was to have the most permissive immigration structure.

00:27:57.000 She's trying to skip a block of time at the debate. 1.00

00:28:01.000 Trump cannot allow it.

00:28:02.000 Hey! 0.99

00:28:03.000 Well, there you go.

00:28:04.000 Let me know what you're going to be doing with your electoral rights this coming November.

00:28:09.000 Let me know how you plan to sustain the onslaught of banality that will be coming your way.

00:28:17.000 Encourage to lay down supine amidst the anodyne and drink it Like a fine wine, when in fact you are too refined to even imagine that this is anything other than another empty, hollow candida incapable of spontaneity and openness.

00:28:36.000 I pray, I pray for the day Where the true humanity of Kamala Harris and all of the people that the centrists trot out before us can be experienced and can be lived.

00:28:47.000 At the moment really I would have to say that this campaign is doing dark work indeed.

00:28:54.000 Furthering corporatism, furthering globalism, furthering division, distracting us from war and massacre, disillusion and despair, and potentially there could be a chance to disrupt it.

00:29:08.000 Firstly, I would suppose by pursuing spiritual principles individually and by recognising that new tectonic political plates are beginning to shift.

00:29:18.000 At least that's my prayer.

00:29:20.000 At least that's my hope of what could be born out of the Bobby Kennedy, Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, shifting and changing anti-globalist movement across the world.

00:29:31.000 But hey, that's just what I think.

00:29:32.000 Why don't you let me know what you think?

00:29:34.000 In the comments and the chat.

00:29:36.000 Remember to give us a like and subscribe wherever you are watching this.

00:29:58.000 This is just a little bit of me in a very small, intimate gig last night.

00:30:03.000 Have a look. 0.67

00:30:03.000 Is this mental illness or not? 0.67

00:30:05.000 You tell me.

00:30:05.000 You're qualified.

00:30:08.000 Are you trying to assess your level of mental illness always?

00:30:13.000 Do you self-diagnose?

00:30:15.000 Like, yeah, I've got ADHD.

00:30:17.000 Have you done a quiz online to tell me that you're autistic? 1.00

00:30:19.000 Of course you fucking have. 0.99

00:30:21.000 And let me save you the 50 quid that it asks you for at the end. 0.98

00:30:25.000 But that's what it does, isn't it? 0.52

00:30:26.000 Like, I ask you, are you autistic? 1.00

00:30:28.000 And I sort of try and... You definitely are, mate. 0.88

00:30:29.000 I can tell already.

00:30:30.000 Never... I can give you instant diagnosis.

00:30:33.000 Yes, yes.

00:30:34.000 Autism.

00:30:35.000 Abundant.

00:30:35.000 There's the wash.

00:30:36.000 The whole room's flooded with it.

00:30:37.000 There's not one of you that's not redolent stinking with Asperger's. 1.00

00:30:43.000 There you go, that's the sort of thing that comes out of my mouth if I don't think too carefully about what I say.

00:30:49.000 And I hope that I'll be able to think a little more diligently when I appear with Tucker Carlson in Phoenix on September the 4th, which is just next week.

00:30:58.000 Now, this competition's available to our subscribers and our community members over on local, so I'll use that special camera.

00:31:05.000 Now, there's free pairs of tickets available For Phoenix, Arizona.

00:31:09.000 Don't bother entering this if you can't get to Phoenix, Arizona, because I don't want to waste the tickets.

00:31:13.000 We had to ask Tucker Carlson's team, give us a few pairs of tickets so that we can give away to our subscriber community.

00:31:18.000 Here's the question, and the first three of you to answer this in the chat correctly will win a pair of tickets to see Tucker Carlson and me.

00:31:28.000 This, is it next Wednesday?

00:31:29.000 It's the 4th.

00:31:30.000 I don't know how days work, or the calendar, January, February, all of that.

00:31:34.000 You know.

00:31:35.000 So, Tucker Carlson, when Fox fired him, what was the reason that they gave?

00:31:42.000 The first three of you to answer that correctly will receive a pair of tickets.

00:31:47.000 Remember, only enter it if you can get there.

00:31:49.000 Don't, like, waste everybody's time.

00:31:51.000 And, yeah, I do seem a bit autistic pulling the strings.

00:31:53.000 That's why, actually, that's where that whole joke goes, actually.

00:31:55.000 Rumble, guys.

00:31:56.000 And, yeah, get over there.

00:31:57.000 Become an Awake and Wonder.

00:31:58.000 Join our community.

00:31:59.000 We do live stand-up all the time in order to facilitate that stuff.

00:32:03.000 Now, is there anyone other than Bobby Kennedy that you would trust to get this kind of information into the mainstream?

00:32:11.000 Surely even the doubters and the haters have to acknowledge that what Bobby Kennedy's endorsement amounts to is the reassertion of issues into this election campaign.

00:32:21.000 Free speech, End war and health. 0.86

00:32:24.000 In particular, the health of children.

00:32:27.000 Bobby Kennedy has become adept at getting these issues discussed on the mainstream.

00:32:31.000 Let's have a look at his conversation recently, where he was able to bring that right to the forefront.

00:32:37.000 In a minute, we'll be bringing you my conversation with Tony Robbins to talk about his new film, City of Dreams, with its director, Mohit Ramchandani.

00:32:45.000 Mohit Ramchandani is the writer and director of this new film, which is about child trafficking.

00:32:50.000 So obviously, he's getting You know, repressed and stuff, because people for some reason don't want to talk about child trafficking.

00:32:56.000 I don't know what's going on out there.

00:32:57.000 People trying to keep it quiet for reasons I've not fully understood yet.

00:33:01.000 Okay, so let's have a look at this with Bobby Kennedy.

00:33:05.000 Why should people be worried about these kind of products?

00:33:09.000 Seed oils are one of the most unhealthy ingredients that we have in foods.

00:33:19.000 And seed oils, the reason they're in the foods is because they're heavily subsidized.

00:33:25.000 They're very, very cheap, but they are associated with all kinds of very, very serious illnesses, including body-wide inflammation, which affects all of our health.

00:33:39.000 It's one of the worst things you can eat, and it's almost impossible to avoid.

00:33:43.000 If you eat any processed food, you're going to be eating seed oil.

00:33:46.000 Right, and it's interesting, the government subsidizes it.

00:33:49.000 Why would the government want to subsidize something that's going to make people sick?

00:33:53.000 And then, in the end, we all end up paying for that in terms of healthcare costs, which are skyrocketing.

00:33:58.000 Yeah, because that is a direct result of corruption.

00:34:03.000 About 75% of FDA's budget comes from regulated industry, and that means food processors and pharmaceutical industry, all of them profit from a sick population.

00:34:14.000 You know, a big item that, and by the way, it's getting very expensive, are cereals.

00:34:18.000 Why is the food coloring in particular bad?

00:34:21.000 The food coloring you see here, yellow food coloring, that is a petroleum product.

00:34:28.000 It's associated with really, you know, with depression.

00:34:34.000 It's associated with autoimmune injuries and ADHD.

00:34:39.000 These and red dye also is, you know, is very bad in Europe.

00:34:45.000 These same companies are producing the same products, but they're using natural coloring, but here they can get away with it.

00:34:53.000 We have about almost a thousand chemicals that are in our food that are either outright banned in Europe or actively discouraged, so you wouldn't be able to buy this kind of stuff in Europe.

00:35:04.000 You ask about why it's so cheap, why it's so ubiquitous.

00:35:11.000 It's because we subsidize the worst foods.

00:35:14.000 We subsidize it with about 70% of our food stamp program is to process foods, which are all poison.

00:35:20.000 Right.

00:35:21.000 One other thing that's interesting is you'll see on labels, natural flavors, which is this catch-off phrase that I guess was lobbied for, but the ingredients in natural flavors are not really natural.

00:35:33.000 No.

00:35:34.000 In our country, natural flavors are chemical products.

00:35:42.000 Natural products aren't natural.

00:35:46.000 Food is a poison.

00:35:47.000 We're being flooded with toxicity.

00:35:50.000 If you have the image of a conveyor belt onto which you are Clopped as a larvae tot, you travel through the world, vaccinated sometimes whether you need it or not, fed food that will make you sick, given media that's full of lies, led by a government that wants to rule and control you and hand over your individual freedom and your nation's freedom to globalist corporate powers.

00:36:13.000 You remain on this conveyor belt, a blob, a blob from whom taxes can be extracted, sickness can be inserted, Lies can enshroud and control you unless you awaken.

00:36:28.000 My hope and prayer is that something extraordinary may be about to happen.

00:36:33.000 That the world is changing fast, rapidly, and it's beginning with you.

00:36:38.000 How else could it begin?

00:36:40.000 Than with you.

00:36:41.000 But the candidacy and alliance of Bobby Kennedy, I believe, represents the kind of progress that could disrupt the terrible trajectory of global corporatism.

00:36:52.000 Believe you me, it's going to take a lot more than platitudes to bring down the globalist, corporatist elites that run various organizations and institutions, bureaucratic and financial, militaristic, And that employ a managerial professional class to keep us all in check, duped, lied to, banalized and controlled, sick, allergic, maltreated and malnourished.

00:37:20.000 But that's just what I think.

00:37:21.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

00:37:25.000 We've got Tony Robbins coming up in just a matter of seconds with Mo Ram Chandani talking about his new film, which is called City of Dreams, a film that you're going to love.

00:37:36.000 It's out today in your country.

00:37:37.000 I reckon you should see it.

00:37:38.000 The winners of that competition who correctly answered that the reason Fox fired Tucker was no reason at all.

00:37:46.000 They told him there's no reason.

00:37:48.000 There was a lot of talk about Jan 6.

00:37:49.000 There was a lot of talk about text messages.

00:37:51.000 But in the end, they said there was no reason.

00:37:54.000 And the Awakened Wonders that were first to answer were at Roselle at Okay guys, well thank you.

00:38:01.000 Helen. If you email tickets at Russell Brand, you will be sent your pairs of tickets and

00:38:06.000 if you want to meet me in Phoenix, can they meet me in Phoenix if they want to? Ha ha

00:38:09.000 ha, look at my mate, who's going to be travelling with me.

00:38:12.000 You can meet me there if ya wanna.

00:38:15.000 Okay guys, well thank you, how shall we do the thing? I'm ready to go.

00:38:18.000 It's not on there.

00:38:19.000 Thanks, guys.

00:38:20.000 Okay.

00:38:21.000 Now, as you know, we have got some very beautiful sponsors.

00:38:25.000 Very beautiful sponsors.

00:38:27.000 Partners that help us.

00:39:58.000 Time now for our fantastic guest talking about a pretty fantastic film.

00:40:03.000 You may know Tony Robbins for his incredible work with personal development.

00:40:06.000 He's produced some great films and was involved in the great success of Sound of Freedom.

00:40:10.000 He joins us now with Mohit Ramchandani.

00:40:15.000 To talk about City of Dreams.

00:40:18.000 City of Dreams covers the story of a trafficked child.

00:40:21.000 Because when you think about child sex trafficking and child trafficking for labour, it's kind of a bit faceless, isn't it?

00:40:27.000 It's difficult to take on the scale of tragedy that we face these days.

00:40:31.000 So, what they've done in this film is personalise it and...

00:40:36.000 Narrativized in a way that's accessible, personal, and if I may say, quite brilliant.

00:40:41.000 So, without any further nonsense from me, let's get into this interview with Tony and Mo here.

00:40:48.000 Stay free.

00:40:50.000 Tony, Mo, thank you so much for joining me on Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:40:55.000 Great to be with you, brother.

00:40:57.000 Yes, thank you so much.

00:40:59.000 Congratulations on your film.

00:41:01.000 I'm very excited to be participating in the launch of City of Dreams, which strikes me as a kind of film that will hugely benefit all of the people that see it.

00:41:13.000 It's the kind of film that people have sort of stopped making these days.

00:41:16.000 Heartening, strong moral centre.

00:41:20.000 Seems that it's got some very good executive producers, not least of all you, Tony.

00:41:29.000 One of the things we know from the success of Sound of Freedom is that it seems to be controversial to speak out against child trafficking these days.

00:41:38.000 So you've taken a risk in speaking out against child trafficking for all those people out there that like child trafficking are going to be disappointed because this is an anti- just to clarify, It's not good to traffic children either for labor and certainly not for more insidious purposes.

00:41:57.000 Tony, tell me what your personal journey is with the film, why you felt that you had to be involved?

00:42:04.000 Well, you know, I think I've been involved, my wife and I, for about eight years with saving children in this area.

00:42:10.000 We had somebody at one of our events one day, we were always promoting people, you know, we fed a billion people over ten years, saying, like, what's your moonshot?

00:42:16.000 What do you want to do?

00:42:17.000 And this woman talked about she wanted to save all these children, and she was crying, telling me about a friend of hers that, you know, whose child was stolen.

00:42:23.000 So I said, well, what's an organization that does it?

00:42:25.000 Was it Case to Save a Child?

00:42:27.000 And she said, well, it's about $3,500 and there's this organization that does it.

00:42:31.000 I said, I'll put up the first quarter million.

00:42:32.000 Let's see what we can raise right here, right now.

00:42:34.000 We raised $2 million.

00:42:35.000 And then I went to the organization and I went on a trip with them.

00:42:38.000 I went down to Haiti and we saved 37 children.

00:42:40.000 I was undercover with movie scars on my face and so forth.

00:42:44.000 And I got to tell you, Russell, as one of the Ugliest things I've ever seen in my entire life.

00:42:48.000 The inhumanity.

00:42:50.000 These children, 12 years old, 10 years old, chained to a bed doing tricks seven, eight times a day.

00:42:55.000 It's beyond your imagination.

00:42:57.000 The worst thing you could ever imagine.

00:42:59.000 But it was also the most beautiful thing seeing these kids when we rescued them and when they were freed.

00:43:03.000 And so we've, my wife and I have participated in funding over 50,000 children's rescues.

00:43:08.000 So, you know, when we did, you know, the experience of Sound of Freedom, as you know, we beat Disney during July 4th weekend.

00:43:14.000 It was unbelievable.

00:43:16.000 People really moved the story.

00:43:18.000 Helped to get the word out.

00:43:19.000 It helped us to raise more money to save more kids.

00:43:21.000 But it also made people feel like it was over there.

00:43:23.000 And what's different about City of Dreams is this is not so much about sexual slavery as it is just labor slavery.

00:43:29.000 Children that are enslaved.

00:43:31.000 brought across the border. You hear about 10 million children coming across the border and

00:43:34.000 it's just overwhelming. You know, the US government said they've lost 300,000 children recently,

00:43:39.000 where they sent them and now they can't find the kids anymore. And they've been sent to the

00:43:42.000 same location to the same Uncle John, you know, a thousand kids, right? So it's obviously a trafficker,

00:43:48.000 but it's too much.

00:43:49.000 But when you follow one child's life, a real story, and you experience what that child does, you can't help but feel it.

00:43:56.000 So this is like a thriller.

00:43:57.000 It keeps you on the edge of your seat.

00:43:59.000 But it's a hero's journey because this young man not only saves himself against all odds, but he saves everybody else too.

00:44:04.000 And then there's a real call to action at the end, like we had with Sound of Freedom.

00:44:08.000 So I could not participate.

00:44:09.000 And Mo is built with You know, Slice the Loan, you know, Peter Guber, people that are incredible filmmakers are coming out and saying, this is a masterpiece.

00:44:16.000 People saying it's Oscar worthy.

00:44:18.000 It got a hundred percent in the first test, which is unheard of with the critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

00:44:24.000 Even now, it's still 86 with all the mass input to it.

00:44:27.000 So it's a film people will love, but it's also a film that'll save lives.

00:44:31.000 Mo, this must be an extraordinary moment for you to realize this project, particularly with it being such an important subject.

00:44:41.000 I recognize you must be competing for air with some people who are hardly shy when it comes to public speaking, and it's on that basis that I appreciate your haircut.

00:44:52.000 Tell me, Mo, what... Yeah, it's like I got electrocuted.

00:44:59.000 Tell me mate, it must be very exciting to hear your film being spoken about as a potential Oscar candidate.

00:45:07.000 Tell me what the journey has been like for you as the director and creator.

00:45:14.000 Well, you know, it's been a really, really long journey.

00:45:16.000 It's been six years, and I've been working on it.

00:45:20.000 I started six years ago.

00:45:21.000 My mother died.

00:45:22.000 I put her life insurance money into getting this movie made, because nobody wanted to make a movie about a mute kid from Mexico who sold to a sweatshop.

00:45:30.000 You know, no superheroes, no werewolves.

00:45:33.000 And it was challenging.

00:45:34.000 I mean, the making of the movie was great, but I actually finished in October of 2012.

00:45:41.000 2022.

00:45:43.000 2022, right.

00:45:43.000 And I just couldn't get anyone to watch it.

00:45:45.000 Like no, everyone refused.

00:45:47.000 It was like, the minute they heard the pitch and I was like, I just need you to see it.

00:45:50.000 I need you to see it.

00:45:52.000 And things started to turn in February of last year.

00:45:55.000 The New York Times did an expose on migrant children being exploited in supply chains of American corporations.

00:46:02.000 But I went through sort of like a dark period because all my investors, everyone sort of walked away and was like, we don't know what's going to happen with this movie.

00:46:09.000 And I just started going to yoga every day.

00:46:12.000 And I was in the changing room at yoga.

00:46:15.000 And this older gentleman comes out and he's completely naked and he goes, Hey kid, can you get me a towel?

00:46:20.000 And I don't know why I said it.

00:46:22.000 I was like, yeah, I can, but I need you to watch my movie.

00:46:24.000 And he was kind of like, you know, what the hell?

00:46:26.000 And I get him a towel and he's like, you know, he goes, so you know who I am?

00:46:31.000 I go, everyone knows who you are.

00:46:32.000 This guy produced Taxi Driver, The Sting.

00:46:34.000 Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and he's there dripping naked in the changing room, basically now been coerced to watch the movie.

00:46:41.000 And he really, really responded to it.

00:46:44.000 And he was like, don't give up.

00:46:45.000 I'll help you as much as I can.

00:46:47.000 And from that point, all the sort of nos started turning to yeses.

00:46:51.000 And slowly, you know, we went from him.

00:46:53.000 His name's Michael Phillips.

00:46:54.000 He joined as an executive producer.

00:46:56.000 And then the mayor of LA, her office had a screening for Latino Heritage Month last October.

00:47:03.000 And we got roadside attractions there, you know, the studio that did Manchester by the Sea and Mud, and they absolutely loved the film.

00:47:11.000 And they said, hey, you know, we could see this being released, but, you know, kind of on 25 screens, like a small rollout.

00:47:18.000 They were like, even Slumdog Millionaire got a small release.

00:47:20.000 And I said, no.

00:47:20.000 I was like, Sound of Freedom came out, it showed us that people are interested in this topic, and I want a much wider release.

00:47:26.000 And then it was this journey of You know, getting more people to support it and getting more marketing money.

00:47:33.000 And that eventually led me to Sean Wolfington, who's one of the executive producers on Sound of Freedom.

00:47:40.000 And he was like, hey, I'm going to get you ambassadors.

00:47:43.000 We're going to create this ambassador program, like we did for Sound of Freedom, of people who believe in this issue and people who will respond to the movie as well.

00:47:51.000 And he was driving.

00:47:54.000 And actually, Tony, I've never told you this.

00:47:56.000 He was driving up to your house and he said, Hey Mo, I'm going to Tony Robbins' house and I'm about to show him the film and I like flipped out.

00:48:03.000 I was like, you know, last 20 years of my life I'm watching Tony Robbins videos.

00:48:07.000 So he's on his way to Tony's house.

00:48:09.000 I'm in Mexico City finishing the film and he calls me after leaving Tony's house with his wife and he goes, You know, man, I'm not sure.

00:48:18.000 I don't think Tony really got it.

00:48:21.000 And I'm just dying inside.

00:48:23.000 I'm like, it's over.

00:48:24.000 It's over.

00:48:24.000 And then he's like, but Tony sent you a video.

00:48:27.000 I'm going to send you a video Tony sent you.

00:48:29.000 And I got this video where Tony's like, Mo, what you've created is so amazing.

00:48:33.000 And I'm crying my eyes out.

00:48:34.000 And I just fell on the floor and wept.

00:48:37.000 You know, like, it was just such a great moment for me, like, having Tony, who's been a hero of mine, come on, and a lot of people have joined.

00:48:43.000 I mean, it's kind of surreal, you know, to have all these people that I've admired for so long come on and support my first film as a director, but it's been a tough journey, I'm not gonna lie.

00:48:55.000 Even your answer to that question was a rollercoaster ride when it began with a naked man in a changing room.

00:49:02.000 I thought oh this is a bit of the old Hollywood that we're trying to get away from but thankfully it slowly morphed into an inspiring tale of bringing people together in support Of an important and powerful project and it seems like the kind of film that could really bring an important message that extraordinarily seems to be one that is being prevented from reaching a large audience.

00:49:26.000 I find it very hard even to speculate as to why the establishment wouldn't want as many people to know as possible that there are 12 million people, 12 million children under conditions of slavery to this day.

00:49:38.000 some of them the most forms of slavery that are difficult even to imagine.

00:49:42.000 And and of course, the story of Jesus in your film, City of Dreams, is a story about a child trapped in labor

00:49:51.000 conditions.

00:49:52.000 And as Tony has already pointed out, it's we focus on this boy and his dreams,

00:49:57.000 the mechanics of child slavery, the business of getting a kid over the border.

00:50:01.000 Why is it true that and Tony, maybe you'll take this one, I see now that Mo can handle a soliloquy himself, that

00:50:09.000 influencers are being shadow banned and prevented from talking about the film.

00:50:15.000 Do you think that's because of the issues of the film or the economic model and the threat that films made outside of the establishment present?

00:50:23.000 Or do you think it's the issues?

00:50:24.000 I don't know which one to hope for really.

00:50:26.000 It's a great question.

00:50:27.000 I can't give you a straight answer.

00:50:29.000 I wish I could.

00:50:30.000 You know, when we did Sound of Freedom, of course, it was a Christian distribution group, you know, Angel Studios.

00:50:36.000 And for some reason, this country being Christian has become a negative in some way. 1.00

00:50:39.000 I don't know how you could possibly explain that.

00:50:41.000 But this one is Roadside Pictures.

00:50:43.000 It's a big studio.

00:50:44.000 It's not tied to any political side.

00:50:46.000 And, you know, this is an issue that it doesn't matter if you're right or left, Republican or Democrat.

00:50:51.000 I mean, this is our children.

00:50:52.000 This is like, it shouldn't matter who this is.

00:50:54.000 There's no political statement here whatsoever.

00:50:57.000 It's just saying this is what's really happening.

00:50:59.000 And by the way, this is based on real stories.

00:51:00.000 Like, you know, most read this story about these kids just outside of L.A.

00:51:04.000 in this little city.

00:51:05.000 They had 70 kids underground.

00:51:08.000 They didn't see light for seven years.

00:51:10.000 All enslaved labor making these materials.

00:51:13.000 So people just don't know this is happening in their backyard, and we want to wake them up to it.

00:51:17.000 But yes, we've gotten about a dozen of our top influencers have said we've been shadow banned.

00:51:22.000 They've sent us the piece saying, you know, that they've been stopped.

00:51:25.000 You know, we don't understand why.

00:51:27.000 I know Zuckerberg just apologized the other day for some of the things that they interfered with.

00:51:32.000 So maybe it's an old algorithm.

00:51:33.000 They haven't updated, but we're requesting they clean it up as soon as possible, and hopefully they will.

00:51:38.000 Yeah, it's an important film for people to see, both in terms of its subject, but also it's an enjoyable film.

00:51:45.000 Mo, how did you tackle the fantasy scenes with the protagonist who dreams of making it as a football star?

00:51:54.000 What kind of techniques were you using to make those films in particular?

00:51:59.000 And was it important to you to contrast the kind of transcendent glory of the child's imagination and innocent wonder with the kind of despair that ultimately ends up being the conditions of his labor?

00:52:13.000 Yes, definitely.

00:52:14.000 You know, that was one of the decisions I made was I don't want to make a docudrama.

00:52:19.000 I feel like docudramas and documentaries, they scratch the surface of our intellectual curiosity, but they don't kind of hit you.

00:52:26.000 They don't, you know, pull at the heartstrings.

00:52:28.000 And I wanted to make a slumdog millionaire, a city of God, you know?

00:52:31.000 And I remember Lee Daniels did this movie called Precious, where there was a woman who was, you know, a young girl being abused and she would go into like her fantasy world.

00:52:39.000 And I thought that was so interesting.

00:52:41.000 I kind of was like, well, I want to tell the story just from this kid's point of view.

00:52:45.000 And given that he doesn't speak because he represents the voiceless, the 12 million, I wanted to show how he felt through his dreams.

00:52:55.000 So, you know, that was one of the things I thought also that would broaden the audience for the movie.

00:53:00.000 And I knew I would get A little bit of slack from critics who want to focus more on the politics and this and that but I wanted to reach the most amount of people and I think most people want to go on a ride they don't want to be preached to so those fantasy scenes of him on the soccer field and the nightmare of the shaman and who the shaman turns out to be were very important and you know for me technically I shot them at a different frame rate.

00:53:25.000 So I shot the whole movie, you know, at 24, and then I shot those sequences either in slow motion or at 28 frames, which I borrowed from Mel Gibson in The Passion of the Christ, because he shot that whole movie in 28 frames, which I thought was really interesting.

00:53:39.000 So it gave it kind of a flowy sort of feel.

00:53:42.000 As you know, I am British.

00:53:44.000 Now, when we left the territory of India, we did our very best to responsibly partition it in ways that would cause no problems or wars or religious conflicts down the line.

00:53:57.000 America, for your ongoing imperialism. 0.74

00:53:59.000 That said, is it true that you have personal family history when it comes to the conditions of child labour?

00:54:13.000 Yes.

00:54:14.000 So, you know, my parents, both my mother and father, were actually born in Sindh, which is now in Pakistan, but used to be India.

00:54:23.000 And during 1947's partition, what happened was my mom had just been born, so she was a baby, my dad was seven, and his father was a public defender.

00:54:32.000 And they'd been kicked out of their homes and they'd been sent across the border and for a long time my dad worked you know as a t-boy in sweatshop conditions you know in order to provide for the family and it kind of it it it really had a toll on him because in the movie He is Jesus, but he's also the abusers.

00:54:53.000 Because growing up, he was incredibly, it was like, get straight A's, marry an Indian girl, or you choose between the belt and the stick. 1.00

00:55:02.000 It was very, you know, black and white with him.

00:55:05.000 And it was a result of the trauma he'd suffered.

00:55:07.000 So working on this film, In a way, for me, it was a way to forgive my dad.

00:55:12.000 You know, I say this all the time.

00:55:14.000 In Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces, he says atonement with the father is one of the most important boons for the hero, and the hero has to recognize that the ogre aspect of the father is a reflection of the hero's ego, because the father's actually preparing him for the office of life, whether consciously or unconsciously.

00:55:31.000 So I really was inspired by Joseph Campbell, and that was one of the reasons I wrote the movie as a hero's journey.

00:55:38.000 And it really is.

00:55:39.000 You know, when Mo was 12 years old, he was sharing with me what his father said, you know, Indian girlfriend, do great in school, don't be in trouble.

00:55:47.000 He said, I was doing the opposite of all three of those.

00:55:49.000 He got my book and started listening to my stuff.

00:55:52.000 But he also saw Rocky.

00:55:53.000 And this film really has that Rocky feel to it, because it's really about this person who overcomes unbelievable odds, and really does do it.

00:56:01.000 But he didn't just save himself, he saves others as well.

00:56:04.000 And so Sly's a friend, and so when he told me that Sly was such a huge influence in his life, I reached out to Sly, and Sly saw the film and loved it, endorsed the film, but also...

00:56:16.000 Mo was so moved, he gave me a message back about how moved he was, and I sent it to Sly, and it moved Sly.

00:56:21.000 I said, look, you're a hero, you're giving back to your hero.

00:56:24.000 It's been a really beautiful experience.

00:56:26.000 People are getting moved all over the place.

00:56:28.000 Sly Stallone's moved.

00:56:30.000 You're becoming like the protagonist of your own film, Mo.

00:56:34.000 You're living out this extraordinary journey.

00:56:36.000 You're resolving it.

00:56:38.000 Forgive me if you've already referred to it, but is your father still with us and able to... No.

00:56:44.000 I'm sorry to hear that, man.

00:56:45.000 No, unfortunately.

00:56:46.000 He died when I was 15 and that's when I grew up in Hong Kong and my family moved to London.

00:56:52.000 I went to London School of Economics.

00:56:54.000 I lived in London for about six years.

00:56:56.000 My brother's still there, but that was the sort of turning point of my life.

00:56:59.000 And no, he's not still with us.

00:57:01.000 Neither is my mom.

00:57:02.000 My mom passed away too.

00:57:03.000 I'm sure that your parents will be extraordinarily proud of this incredible achievement and it seems that given that you are receiving such guidance and tutelage from the great man with by whom we are joined and getting the kind of ridiculous experience of having Sly Stallone sending you weeping messages after you've made your own plucky underdog story about redemption It seems that things are really working out well for you Mo, so it seems like you're kind of realizing dreams even as you're telling stories about precisely that phenomena.

00:57:37.000 It's interesting.

00:57:38.000 You're the first person that's presented it in that way, but I will tell you... What did you expect?

00:57:44.000 What did you expect?

00:57:46.000 Just by the book promo?

00:57:49.000 Is that what you think I'm going to deliver you?

00:57:51.000 Just I'm going to come out here and not examine it and give you something unique, Mo?

00:57:57.000 When you were at the London School of Economics, you must have been aware that one of the defining figures of British culture was good old Russell Brand.

00:58:07.000 Yes, definitely, definitely, but I'll tell you that Tony, you know, this was only a few weeks ago, I was driving back to my place, I live in LA from Whole Foods, and Tony sends me a message, Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday, and I'm like, is he, he's either drinking or he doesn't know that he sent it to me, because, I mean, I don't usually get a message like that from him, and then I get this video from Stallone, And I just was paralyzed.

00:58:32.000 Like I just sat in my car and I cried and I said to myself, I said, all right, no matter what happens from this moment onwards in my life, this movie can fail.

00:58:42.000 I cannot achieve my dreams of making an impact in the world.

00:58:46.000 I'm not a failure anymore because I was able to move the person that moved me and I made that decision.

00:58:53.000 I said, anything I see that's negative, I'm going to turn it to positive.

00:58:56.000 So that's one of the greatest gifts anyone has ever given me.

00:59:00.000 And it's funny because I sent Tony a really nice polished message, a thank you message to send Sly.

00:59:07.000 And of course he didn't do that.

00:59:09.000 He sent the one that I sent to him where I was weeping.

00:59:12.000 That I was pretty embarrassed about, but it worked out.

00:59:17.000 It moved him.

00:59:18.000 You know, as Sly talked about, you know, it's so easy, you know, you live in this business to get, you know, hardened a bit, and to see this, that you were so inspired by what he did so many years ago, and that really was touching other kids, it really touched his heart.

00:59:32.000 So, you know, we all have a way to give back in some way, but I really think this film, you know, our goal with this film you know, Russell, obviously, it's a call to action. It's

00:59:41.000 an absolute thriller. You're on the edge of your seat. It'll grab you. But it's also really

00:59:47.000 about like, what can people do? So, afterwards, there's a call to action. People go to the

00:59:50.000 website, and there's all kinds of things you can do. Where you buy your clothes, you know, Mo,

00:59:54.000 you might talk a little bit about what can be done in that area.

00:59:58.000 It plays such a role because of all the subcontractors.

01:00:01.000 You know, you can save a child's life these days.

01:00:03.000 There's one organization that I work with, my wife and I have been working with for many years.

01:00:08.000 They use this incredible AI and this machine learning.

01:00:11.000 And in some cities in Indonesia, they've actually taken down these groups by 91%.

01:00:15.000 Like, prostitution is down 91%.

01:00:16.000 It's unheard of.

01:00:21.000 And they can save a child for $500.

01:00:22.000 So we have kids now that are sponsoring to save children's lives.

01:00:26.000 You can volunteer.

01:00:27.000 So we hope that people will be stimulated.

01:00:29.000 But the very minimum we want to do is just like, you know, what stopped slavery in the United States?

01:00:33.000 It was Uncle Tom's Cabin.

01:00:35.000 Somebody writing the story, a storyteller waking people up until people said, enough of this.

01:00:41.000 And we think this hopefully will be the beginning of that process and waking people up.

01:00:45.000 But Mo, you might share about, you know, what happens when you sign a contract.

01:00:49.000 And I'm sure that, that Russell, you know, I've, I've listened to some of his stuff before, so I know he's going to be on board with this.

01:00:54.000 Like, I presented this to the labor department last year and I said, all the organizations and saving children and all that, I totally get it, but I have a very simple solution that is proven and that I know that will work.

01:01:09.000 And it's as simple as this.

01:01:11.000 I used to work on wall street for about three months.

01:01:13.000 I worked actually in the city of London and.

01:01:16.000 Every single third-party trading office has to have an SEC compliance officer.

01:01:21.000 That's law.

01:01:22.000 And I said, why does this law not exist for all other businesses?

01:01:26.000 Why is it that Gap or Reebok or Whole Foods or whoever they are can subcontract and not have a compliance officer in that facility?

01:01:35.000 And I presented this at a meeting that the labor department had and the lawyer You know, came up when he goes, hey, man, that was a really good idea. 0.99

01:01:42.000 And I was like, no, I'm an idiot. 0.98

01:01:44.000 I don't know anything. 1.00

01:01:45.000 I'm a filmmaker.

01:01:46.000 You shouldn't be saying that to me.

01:01:47.000 You should be implementing this.

01:01:49.000 And of course, nothing's happening with it because I believe and I'm not an expert that corporate interests.

01:01:56.000 pay for lobbying groups and they decide who make laws.

01:01:59.000 And this is a very simple thing.

01:02:01.000 If this happens, I mean, there's no way this can continue because all those third party sites

01:02:08.000 are gonna have compliance officers in them and there's gonna be a $100,000 fine per person

01:02:13.000 per human rights violation.

01:02:15.000 Like that makes a real impact.

01:02:17.000 And for some reason- - You limited all the economic upside for them

01:02:20.000 and so the reason- - Right, right.

01:02:23.000 So we're working with some people to see if we can get legislation into Congress.

01:02:27.000 We've got people on both sides of the aisle to see what we can do to give it a push.

01:02:31.000 So it's an entertaining movie that tells an important story that has, as part of it, an activist approach to changing the law that will help children become free from child slavery.

01:02:46.000 It is the very sort of thing that we need to shadow ban at once.

01:02:50.000 Where are we supposed to get our child labor from with films like this?

01:02:56.000 No, I want to congratulate both of you on this important project and of course on your assessment of what could provide a further solution beyond the important work of telling stories that help to reach the emotional resources required in order to motivate change and that is staggering that there is so little

01:03:16.000 control over child labour and the ability of big corporations to exploit that. Next you'll be

01:03:23.000 telling me that the FDA is funded by the pharmaceutical companies that it's supposed

01:03:29.000 to regulate and that could lead to all sorts of problems. It's the sort of thing we need to

01:03:35.000 look into Mo. Mo and Tony, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you, Russ.

01:03:40.000 Sea of Dreams is out on... Is it out now, guys?

01:04:09.000 Thank you for having us, Russell.

01:04:10.000 Yeah, thank you.

01:04:11.000 I think she better.

01:04:17.000 Hey! 0.99

01:04:40.000 ¿Crees que mañana vas a salir a jugar a la cancha?

01:04:43.000 No, no, no.

01:04:46.000 Any reason you rode through that stop?

01:04:48.000 I'm sorry.

01:04:48.000 Is that your son?

01:04:50.000 Yes.

01:04:51.000 Got any ID for the boy?

01:04:52.000 Yeah.

01:04:55.000 Watch the stops.

01:04:56.000 To a 2018 red Mustang belonging to Rodrigo Ramirez.

01:04:59.000 Rise and shine, homie! 1.00

01:05:03.000 Rise and shine!

01:05:07.000 First shift, 6.30.

01:05:08.000 Second shift, 12.30.

01:05:11.000 Master 211 and boom.

01:05:13.000 Lights out at midnight.

01:05:14.000 You crush it.

01:05:17.000 I know there's more of them in there.

01:05:18.000 Well, fake passport isn't gonna cut it.

01:05:20.000 Yes, sir.

01:05:21.000 These people have no criminal history whatsoever.

01:05:23.000 What kind of business you in?

01:05:24.000 The busy kind.

01:05:25.000 We've got evidence that they're harboring illegals.

01:05:28.000 Plus four warrant denied.

01:05:29.000 Copy that.

01:05:30.000 I'd quit poking around.

01:05:31.000 Catch my drift?

01:05:33.000 What is that truth?

01:06:01.000 The truth is that as much as we want to be free, we live and we die together.

01:06:09.000 This is America.
