00:00:00.000 Hello there you Awakening Wonders, thanks for joining us live on the internet on Rumble.

00:00:04.000 The first 10-15 minutes we put up in all sorts of places but after that when I need to speak freely we're exclusively available on Rumble and we're gonna need to speak freely today because from Fox News we've got cat Tim, commentator that I met when I went on Greg Gutfeld this time, are Fox News going to be able to continue to pay people with their massive out-of-court settlement?

00:00:26.000 And does this mean that democracy is officially not rigged, that elections are not rigged now because Fox making those claims on air while privately they exchanged texts saying that they didn't believe in themselves, which by the way sounds very similar to the American government's official stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Publicly saying this is a winnable boar.

00:00:47.000 Go Ukraine! 0.55

00:00:48.000 Private round the back.

00:00:49.000 We ain't getting none of that territory back.

00:00:51.000 Never admitting that there are boots on the ground of US personnel.

00:00:53.000 These are the content of the recent leaks that you may not have heard about because all anyone will tell you is this guy calls himself the OG.

00:01:01.000 He's in chat rooms. 1.00

00:01:02.000 He probably masturbates into a sock! 1.00

00:01:05.000 That's not real proper news, is it? 0.99

00:01:07.000 We bring you real news, and real news will always be about establishment narratives, challenging them, and breaking down centralised power.

00:01:16.000 So, whilst we'll talk a bit about Fox News's payout, we'll be asking bigger questions.

00:01:21.000 Does this mean an end to systemic corruption?

00:01:23.000 Does this mean that the next time there's an election in your country, the side that loses won't be saying, the election was rigged?

00:01:29.000 And does it mean that the only answer is secession now?

00:01:33.000 That America needs to accept it's too vast a territory for one centralised, corporatised, lying, corrupt, globalist government and it's time to decentralise, devolve and bring true democracy to America.

00:01:47.000 Let me know in the chat if you think that's the kind of direction the

00:02:08.000 cute moniker, Digi-Dogs.

00:02:11.000 Awwww, it's only a Digi-Dog that's tyrannizing me.

00:02:15.000 What's that that just shot me in the back?

00:02:17.000 It was a digidog.

00:02:18.000 Oh, how can I stay mad at you?

00:02:20.000 Would you like another silicon chip?

00:02:22.000 Would you?

00:02:23.000 Would you?

00:02:23.000 Would you like a semiconductor?

00:02:25.000 We ain't going to Taiwan, baby.

00:02:26.000 Not now, not never.

00:02:28.000 Unless it becomes profitable.

00:02:30.000 Once we click over to being exclusively on Rumble, we're going to bring you a breathtaking, mind-bending, bone-breaking tale about China potentially developing a certain medicine even before a particular outbreak was even recognised.

00:02:45.000 Begging the question, if the outbreak hasn't happened yet, how come they're developing a medicine for it?

00:02:51.000 Is this a conspiracy theory?

00:02:53.000 Or is this just another one of those news stories that the mainstream will be reporting six months to a year down the line?

00:02:59.000 Let me know in the chat which you think it is.

00:03:01.000 So there it is.

00:03:02.000 Fox settled out of court for saying that Dominion's voting machines are faulty. 0.97

00:03:05.000 Turns out they're some of the best damn voting machines that money can buy. 0.95

00:03:10.000 Fantastic stuff. 0.98

00:03:12.000 In other news, there's a new voice in town.

00:03:15.000 There's a new political power rising up.

00:03:18.000 There's a man who will embrace vulgarity with the brazenness here too far not seen.

00:03:23.000 We've often said on this channel that Donald Trump's power is drawn from the fact that within systemic corruption, a person that embraces vulgarity, a person that can say, yeah, I know there are tax loopholes.

00:03:35.000 I used them.

00:03:36.000 I know the system's rigged because I participated in rigging it.

00:03:40.000 We'll be looking right now.

00:03:42.000 Donald Trump's magnificent cards and later we'll be looking at some Democrat corruption too that suggests that they're in no position to attack Trump.

00:03:51.000 That's why he is Teflon to their slurs because they ain't got no basis upon which to attack him.

00:03:58.000 Joining me for all of this and more is my very very neatly dressed on-screen assistant Gareth Roy.

00:04:07.000 Oh, thank you.

00:04:08.000 I've given you your phone.

00:04:09.000 Did you like that?

00:04:10.000 It's a big round.

00:04:11.000 I thought I would do that.

00:04:11.000 To be announced.

00:04:12.000 I thought I'd give you an on-screen announcement.

00:04:14.000 Are you the sort of person who would, under any circumstances, get a Donald Trump collectible card?

00:04:19.000 I'd have to see.

00:04:19.000 Well, I don't know.

00:04:20.000 I imagine it's a very low-key advert for it.

00:04:22.000 He doesn't exaggerate the significance of these cards.

00:04:26.000 He doesn't suggest that they're important non-fungibles.

00:04:30.000 Fungible is not a word you ever thought would make it into the mainstream, but here it is.

00:04:34.000 Fungible.

00:04:35.000 It's here to stay.

00:04:36.000 We'll be talking about Foxy's out-of-court settlement, but let's have a look at Donald Trump's latest gambit.

00:04:41.000 It's pretty cool.

00:04:42.000 Have a look.

00:04:43.000 Hello again, this is your favourite president, Donald Trump, with some news you are going to... Do you think he, like, records that onto a phone?

00:04:49.000 Do you think that someone just puts a phone and goes, oh, we're doing some more of them cards?

00:04:52.000 Yeah.

00:04:53.000 And then he just does that?

00:04:54.000 Yeah.

00:04:54.000 I agree.

00:04:55.000 I bet he does it in one take.

00:04:56.000 One take, easy.

00:04:57.000 I really love... A few months ago we almost broke the internet when I announced my Trump digital trading cards.

00:05:03.000 These beautiful Trump cards made...

00:05:06.000 It's interesting because we have progressed beyond irony, beyond the post-modernity, where Trump, far from being embarrassed about an image of himself as a firefighter or as a rock star, literally will embrace it.

00:05:20.000 And that tells you that we're living in something so lurid and so vivid that there's nothing that he can do, like when he famously said he could shoot someone on Madison Avenue, is that we're living in such a nihilistic maelstrom now, where we know that figures like Biden are only inadvertently honest in so much as they are like a kind of barely vivacious cadaver or rating badly from the pulpit, that they somehow represent what they are without ever telling you the truth.

00:05:49.000 Stories like this one, like, oh, Fox have had to do this massive out-of-court settlement.

00:05:53.000 Hooray! 0.97

00:05:54.000 Hooray for democracy!

00:05:55.000 Hooray for justice!

00:05:56.000 Not really.

00:05:57.000 Clearly, America is systemically broken.

00:06:00.000 Clearly, the mainstream media is broken.

00:06:03.000 Clearly, you get no congressional options that mean anything.

00:06:07.000 In a system where there are wealth transfers in the trillions during a time of poverty and suffering.

00:06:11.000 I'm referring to the pandemic at a time where 50% of federal budgets go to the Pentagon.

00:06:17.000 50% of that then ends up in the military industrial complex in private contractors hands.

00:06:21.000 These are not The kind of policies that you want implemented?

00:06:24.000 Are they?

00:06:24.000 Let me know in the chat in the comments.

00:06:25.000 Would you go, oh yeah, could you send 10 billion to Taiwan?

00:06:28.000 That's happening!

00:06:28.000 10 billion's going to Taiwan in aid.

00:06:30.000 Did you know that?

00:06:31.000 Did you vote for it?

00:06:31.000 Let me know.

00:06:32.000 I don't remember voting for it, but then I'm not American.

00:06:35.000 You know, all of these systems, all of this expenditure, is set up to support a system that requires constant war in its mouth.

00:06:43.000 It's a war-devouring machine.

00:06:45.000 All this stuff is a sideshow.

00:06:47.000 There's, in a sense, Trump's cards are as important As the Fox payout, or Hillary piously saying, oh, he used to say, lock me up.

00:06:56.000 Well, he should be locked up.

00:06:58.000 It's all, as we know now, theatre.

00:07:00.000 There is no meaningful difference between the actors on this stage.

00:07:04.000 No meaningful difference.

00:07:05.000 I know some of you have personal affinities with or affiliations for some of them, but I'm offering you this.

00:07:11.000 What difference does it really make if you don't make some systemic change?

00:07:13.000 Let me know.

00:07:14.000 Let me know in the chat or the comments.

00:07:15.000 Have a look.

00:07:16.000 Headlines all over the world because of the speed at which they sold.

00:07:20.000 Original cards sold out so fast, everybody is asking me to do another series.

00:07:26.000 Well, I've got some fantastic news for you.

00:07:28.000 My Trump digital trading cards are back with a bang.

00:07:31.000 Series 2, the new collection, features incredible artwork of me as a rock star and also as a monster trucker.

00:07:39.000 He has to list some of the ones to truck.

00:07:41.000 I wonder if they gave him an option which ones to highlight.

00:07:45.000 Which ones do you want to say?

00:07:46.000 The rockstar one, the trucker one.

00:07:48.000 Because he'll do so many that eventually they'll run out and it'll just be standard things.

00:07:53.000 Me as a man collecting the bins or something.

00:07:55.000 Me looking at my own trump non-fungible cards.

00:07:59.000 It'll become a self-devouring vortex of non-fungibility.

00:08:03.000 Stay free with Russell Brand.

00:08:05.000 See it first on Rumble.

00:08:07.000 Mystic Kipper says, clip clops in flip flops.

00:08:10.000 That would soften the image.

00:08:11.000 You're right about that, Mystic Kipper.

00:08:14.000 Blessed old bird, these are tools.

00:08:15.000 This is what happens when someone hacks into the system.

00:08:18.000 Or what happens?

00:08:19.000 Let me just work that out.

00:08:21.000 Yeah, what happens when they do?

00:08:22.000 We don't know yet, mate.

00:08:24.000 But it won't be good, I don't imagine.

00:08:27.000 Neongrammarion, how does clip-clop do when it's caught in a bear trap or falls into a camouflaged hole?

00:08:33.000 Well done.

00:08:34.000 The counter clip-clop movement's begun and it begun here.

00:08:38.000 We have got a fantastic guest joining us right now, a person that I've met and been on a TV program with and sat on an armchair under bright lights looking at for a moment, having those sort of powerful moments of reflection that I often have when I'm on a television show where I start thinking about God and death and meaning.

00:08:57.000 And Greg Gutfeld.

00:08:59.000 And Greg Gutfeld, because it was his show, so I thought about him a bit.

00:09:01.000 I looked at him, wondered what he was like.

00:09:02.000 Sometimes I think about everyone's kidneys and everything, doing their jobs.

00:09:05.000 Think about all the cells regenerating.

00:09:06.000 Think about that we're in limitless space.

00:09:08.000 And then think, oh no, I'm being asked a question.

00:09:10.000 And he's got a bright jumper on.

00:09:12.000 Yeah, it's very bright.

00:09:13.000 But the guest was, I remember thinking, that alongside the Thanos-like wrestler man, who I liked and was funny and made a couple of good jokes and seemed like a pretty nice guy actually, the person I liked who was opposite from me was Kat Timpf, whose book I hold in my hand now, you can't joke about that, which pictures her holding some booze in a microphone in a studded shoe, sat atop of a, I believe, A coffin.

00:09:36.000 And me and Kat Timpf are going to have a conversation now and talk about, I suppose, hate speech.

00:09:42.000 Also, Kat, you know, I met Kat on Fox.

00:09:44.000 We got to talk about what's going on on Fox and all that stuff.

00:09:48.000 Kat, are you there, mate?

00:09:49.000 Are you there on the internet with us?

00:09:51.000 Yes, I am.

00:09:51.000 Hello.

00:09:53.000 It's lovely to see you.

00:09:54.000 So great to see you too.

00:09:55.000 Do you remember that time when we met each other and it was on Greg Gutfield?

00:09:59.000 Yes, yes we did.

00:10:00.000 We had some great conversations about binary thinking and the way that people in power like to play us against each other so that we don't pay attention to how corrupt things are getting and the way they're abusing their power and I've loved a lot of things that you've said sort of continuing in that exact direction.

00:10:18.000 Yeah, like, I've started to find, like, I'm having conversations with people that I've been trained to be suspicious of.

00:10:26.000 They're delightful.

00:10:27.000 Thank you!

00:10:29.000 Delightful, friendly and open.

00:10:30.000 And not you necessarily.

00:10:31.000 I don't even know if you are a right-wing person.

00:10:33.000 I can't tell.

00:10:33.000 I've been looking at your book.

00:10:35.000 It seems to me that you're very interested in freedom and conversation and humour.

00:10:41.000 And fun.

00:10:43.000 Tell me, mate, this book, is the driving idea behind your book that ongoing censorship will ultimately be deleterious because we won't be able to muck about and have fun?

00:10:56.000 That's part of it, right?

00:10:57.000 And I'm a libertarian, so I'm not in either one of the two big teams.

00:11:03.000 The point of the book is all the things that we're not supposed to talk about, the things that we're not supposed to joke about, how harmful that is to the people who are actually going through tough things.

00:11:13.000 If you're going through trauma, You don't want to be treated weird by people who are too afraid to speak to you and maybe say the wrong thing and that applies to so many different things because ultimately we're all in this together and the only way that we're actually going to be able to survive is being able to openly communicate with each other about everything including political stuff and the stuff you shouldn't say but also stuff like like death which is why I'm sitting on a coffin on my book cover.

00:11:42.000 That's why you're sitting on that coffin.

00:11:45.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:11:46.000 I think that a lot of the debate is always about speech versus sensitivity, right?

00:11:51.000 But that really ignores the way that it can bring us together because every tough thing I've ever been through, one thing that got me through it was thinking, okay, well, I'm at least building a connection with everyone else who's been through it too.

00:12:04.000 Whether it was losing my mom at a young age, being very, very broke starting out, or I had an emergency ostomy surgery in 2020, then I had a reversal, Where I had some complications and I was in the hospital actually on January 6th.

00:12:17.000 But what's the use if we can't talk about all of that stuff?

00:12:20.000 So we're actually limiting our ability to connect with each other and also to heal within ourselves because if something is really scary, then the best way to take away the power from that thing is to laugh in the face of it.

00:12:33.000 I saw Jon Stewart make a point like that talking about some of the stuff that Kanye said and it was one of the things I've most enjoyed that really we get opportunities for conversation although I suppose not everyone likes to talk about sensitive or traumatic issues and I suppose really Kat, we want to foster a situation where you're not afraid to speak about stuff, but neither are you afraid to be private.

00:13:01.000 It's this odd situation where public speech is being censored while simultaneously we're being surveilled and observed, criminalised and treated as people that need to be paternally handled and controlled.

00:13:15.000 So it's an interesting time to be an outspoken person.

00:13:19.000 You go on Fox and stuff, mate.

00:13:21.000 What do you find it like on there?

00:13:23.000 I mean, I had a really good experience when I went on both Tucker and on Greg Gutfield.

00:13:29.000 Tell me what it's like for you, how you started going on there, and then tell us a bit about what you think about the out-of-court settlement and stuff, if you're comfortable talking about that and it doesn't put you in a compromising legal situation.

00:13:39.000 Right.

00:13:40.000 Well, I think this kind of goes back to a lot of the stuff you were saying, because, you know, I work on Fox News, but I work on the late night show.

00:13:47.000 So I wasn't covering the 2020 election.

00:13:49.000 But if you hear Fox News, you think it's a monolith, right?

00:13:53.000 People say Kat-Tim Fox News, and then they think in their head, Okay, I now know everything that I need to know about this person to the point where there are some people who won't even sit down and have a conversation with me.

00:14:05.000 They know nothing about me.

00:14:06.000 They know nothing about my life.

00:14:07.000 And I even saw that happen to you when you were a guest on Fox News and all the things you were saying were about this binary thinking and, you know, the power systems and People said, oh, you went on Fox News, so now Russell Brand is a far right-wing person.

00:14:23.000 But that's how people in power maintain their power and grow their power, because we're so focused arguing back and forth with each other.

00:14:30.000 The place where I work, Doesn't say everything that there is to say about me.

00:14:34.000 And I think that that is very rarely the case.

00:14:37.000 And that keeps people from actually understanding each other or from noticing what's going on from the people in power who are just growing their power.

00:14:45.000 They're watching us.

00:14:46.000 We find that we're not watching you that we find out.

00:14:48.000 And they were like, Oh, but look at what this other side did.

00:14:51.000 I picked this team.

00:14:52.000 So, but what this other side did was worse.

00:14:55.000 Yeah, there's a real, like, pettiness and vanity in it.

00:14:59.000 Like, I think Greg Gutfield said when I was on there, like, of me, Russell Brand don't like Fox News either, and the criticisms levelled at MSNBC and CNN are also being levelled at Fox.

00:15:13.000 But I suppose what I've found particularly troubling of late

00:15:17.000 is the narcissism and the idea that CNN or MSNBC are meaningfully superior to a more conservative Republican

00:15:27.000 or right wing, however you want to describe it, outlet like Fox, that they aren't funded in ways that's

00:15:33.000 compromised, compromising, that they don't have a relationship

00:15:38.000 with the government that's compromising.

00:15:40.000 These recent leaks, Pentagon papers, part deux, show that people aren't willing to.

00:15:48.000 Absolutely.

00:15:48.000 And it's even worse because this isn't new.

00:15:50.000 And then there's also the Afghanistan papers.

00:15:52.000 personality of the kid that made the revelations.

00:15:55.000 Absolutely, absolutely. And it's even worse because this isn't new. And then there's also

00:16:02.000 the Afghanistan papers. I mean, it's all built into the system that if you go to, I mean,

00:16:08.000 my husband, he fought in Afghanistan and he said when he was 10 years ago, he said, when

00:16:12.000 I was there, I knew that what they were telling us or telling, you know, us meaning the world

00:16:17.000 that they were trying to do, that was never going to be possible.

00:16:20.000 But by telling people in power what they wanted to hear, oh, it's going great, it's going great.

00:16:25.000 That's how you get away with it.

00:16:26.000 These people get promoted.

00:16:27.000 A lot of the same people that were involved in that, and certainly the same systems, are doing all of this.

00:16:32.000 And you, yes, you focus on the leaker.

00:16:34.000 The leaker did this wrong.

00:16:35.000 And not the fact that we've all been lied to.

00:16:38.000 And I was suspicious of this the entire time because I'm awake.

00:16:42.000 And just like you were not a patriot if you question some of the stuff in the Middle East, if you question Ukraine, then you're a Putin puppet, right?

00:16:49.000 The more that they tell you you can't question something, the more that I think, I better look into this.

00:16:54.000 I bet that I'm being lied to.

00:16:55.000 And then again, they do that to shut you up.

00:16:59.000 And that's why in my book, so much talk about communication and questioning things.

00:17:03.000 And you have to think for yourself.

00:17:05.000 It is much easier to just say, oh, this is my side, because then all the thinking is done for you.

00:17:10.000 And no matter what you do, you'll have people on your side to back you up and point out how the other side is so much worse.

00:17:16.000 But the military-industrial complex lives on throughout that.

00:17:20.000 Warming.

00:17:22.000 Yeah.

00:17:23.000 Yeah, cat tymph.

00:17:26.000 It does.

00:17:27.000 It's sick and it costs lives, but people make money and we're all just sitting there like, oh, did you hear about that guy broke that law or what that person said or that team is bad?

00:17:36.000 And I'm like, is anybody else paying attention to this?

00:17:39.000 Well yeah, we're paying close attention to it and what we're observing is that most of the stories that we cover are about how state regulation usually improves corporate interest ability to act upon their agenda, that the media generally speaking highlight issues that are Difficult to resolve and could easily be brought to some kind of conclusion by an acceptance of mutual tolerance and leaving one another alone and letting people be different.

00:18:11.000 Where there's a sort of an appetite to empower globalist centralised authorities like the WHO.

00:18:18.000 I mean we see it again and again.

00:18:20.000 Militarisation of the police force.

00:18:21.000 A kind of What it feels like is the enhancement of centralized authority when what is required is the decentralization of power and the acceptance that there are a lot of different ways of being human.

00:18:35.000 Are you doing this interview on a laptop?

00:18:37.000 I sure am.

00:18:38.000 Why don't you roam around your house and show us stuff?

00:18:41.000 Oh, this is my office, yeah.

00:18:43.000 Give us a tour of the property.

00:18:44.000 Oh, this is my office, so this is it.

00:18:46.000 All my clothes are on the couch here and my wig's over there for my sketches that I do.

00:18:51.000 I'm just sitting in my office.

00:18:54.000 But, you know, again, I just want to add to that, you know, people who are working in government, you know, we pay their salary and they're supposed to be servants.

00:19:05.000 So obviously they get rich doing this, which should just tell you all that you need to know.

00:19:10.000 Also, you go in as a politician and you become super wealthy.

00:19:15.000 And again, we all allow this to happen and we don't ask any questions.

00:19:18.000 We all need to talk more and listen to each other more and not just say, OK, I think that I know what this person is because of this or that affiliation or in this team and that team, because it's just getting worse every day and they keep getting away with it and nobody seems to care.

00:19:32.000 Who do you want to read a bit of your book?

00:19:35.000 You, me or Gareth?

00:19:38.000 Go for it.

00:19:39.000 You got it open.

00:19:42.000 No one wants to hear you whine unless you're funny.

00:19:44.000 If you were alive during the spring of 2020, your spring was probably pretty rough.

00:19:48.000 If you weren't alive, then you're either a baby genius or a spirit from the underworld.

00:19:52.000 In either case, please reach out to me.

00:19:53.000 I have questions.

00:19:54.000 You know, if you're a spirit of the underworld.

00:19:56.000 Even if you didn't have any of the real problems associated with the COVID pandemic, like someone close to you dying, losing your job or your business, or having to spend all of your time at home with your children.

00:20:05.000 Ha, I like that.

00:20:06.000 It still probably really, really sucked.

00:20:08.000 All of life's simple joys were suddenly either illegal or impossible, especially in cities like New York.

00:20:13.000 Want to go out to din up?

00:20:14.000 Too bad, that's illegal.

00:20:15.000 Want to go outside and feel some fresh air on your face? 1.00

00:20:18.000 Some dickhead is going to scream at you to put a mask on. 0.99

00:20:20.000 It was terrible. 0.99

00:20:21.000 I can't even imagine how club girls felt. 1.00

00:20:23.000 I mean, where are they supposed to wear their bandaged dresses and heels now? 1.00

00:20:27.000 Yeah!

00:20:28.000 Where are they?

00:20:29.000 This is just an extract from Kat Timp's book in which she sacrilegiously perches upon a wooden esophagus and waits for, well, waits for the general attitude around humor to radically alter.

00:20:48.000 Kat, thanks for coming on this show and talking to us.

00:20:51.000 Oh, it's been such a pleasure.

00:20:53.000 It's always great talking to you.

00:20:54.000 Why you got wigs in your office? 1.00

00:20:57.000 Because I've done Elizabeth Warren and Jen Psaki impressions.

00:21:00.000 And then I have some other, I have this other wig from another impression here.

00:21:04.000 Here is a participation trophy from 1996 when I played AYSO soccer.

00:21:11.000 You know, I got it.

00:21:14.000 I got it all going on, but... Alf's over there.

00:21:17.000 Alf.

00:21:18.000 I am in love form.

00:21:19.000 He's there.

00:21:20.000 Yes, I've had that since I was a little girl.

00:21:22.000 Nice.

00:21:24.000 Keep Alf around.

00:21:25.000 He was all right.

00:21:26.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:21:28.000 Absolutely.

00:21:28.000 I watch a lot of Alf to help get me through a breakup.

00:21:31.000 I think comedy is super healing.

00:21:33.000 I consider comedy to be actually my religion.

00:21:35.000 I hope one day to believe in God again, but it's so healing.

00:21:39.000 And I think it's so important when everything else is so sad and disgusting going on around us to be able to speak the way we want to about it.

00:21:47.000 Yeah, sometimes I get so serious on the show because we're analysing things that seem really important.

00:21:51.000 You have to hold all of this dense information.

00:21:53.000 You have to be careful that you're not doing the things you're being accused of by your detractors of like, oh no, are we supporting conspiracy theories?

00:22:00.000 Are we being irresponsible?

00:22:01.000 But generally, we are able to maintain the line by talking to experts and a variety of people.

00:22:08.000 Every so often though, I feel like, oh man, I just need to stop taking life so seriously.

00:22:12.000 I've been doing that lately.

00:22:13.000 I've just fallen backwards into total frivolity.

00:22:17.000 Well, that's I mean, I don't think that's falling backwards, right?

00:22:20.000 I think that people like to laugh, too.

00:22:22.000 So you can make people laugh.

00:22:24.000 You can also get them to listen to you a little bit, because I think people get sick of the news being so depressing, so depressing, so depressing.

00:22:31.000 But also, at least, you know, you're not afraid to question things, which I think is super important.

00:22:36.000 Kat Timpf, thanks for coming on our show.

00:22:39.000 Get Kat Timpf's book.

00:22:40.000 You can't joke about that.

00:22:41.000 It's out now.

00:22:42.000 We'll put a link in the chat so that you can get it easily.

00:22:46.000 Thanks for joining us, Kat.

00:22:47.000 We'll see you again soon, I hope.

00:22:48.000 Yes, me too.

00:22:49.000 Take care, mate.

00:22:50.000 Hey, guess who's on the show tomorrow?

00:22:52.000 Branko Marchatic.

00:22:53.000 She's going to be on.

00:22:55.000 You love him, don't you?

00:22:56.000 I think he's a very good journalist, yeah.

00:22:58.000 Don't try and make it a professional, love.

00:23:00.000 I mean, it isn't anything other than that.

00:23:02.000 It's nothing but professional admiration.

00:23:04.000 I haven't met him.

00:23:06.000 One day.

00:23:07.000 That'd be nice.

00:23:08.000 Yeah, that'd be nice.

00:23:08.000 One day.

00:23:09.000 Do you think he'll come in here in person?

00:23:11.000 Who knows?

00:23:13.000 Yeah, he's on tomorrow, so hopefully you can nurture your connection to him.

00:23:19.000 I don't want you to sit there through the interview just quietly harbouring a resentment because I'm controlling the chat.

00:23:25.000 I may do that.

00:23:25.000 I mean, that's possible.

00:23:26.000 I want you at some point during it to interject passionately and just say, Branko!

00:23:32.000 Well, I'm not... I'll have to read the room, Russell.

00:23:35.000 Yeah, don't do it if it doesn't seem right.

00:23:38.000 Also, we're talking about this poor US military lad who foolishly filled in a spoof form to become an assassin.

00:23:44.000 That's not how you become an assassin, is it?

00:23:45.000 By filling in forms?

00:23:47.000 Who knows?

00:23:47.000 How do you become one?

00:23:49.000 I don't know.

00:23:49.000 You've got to get in with the right crowd.

00:23:50.000 The assassin crowd, I suppose.

00:23:52.000 Let us know in the chat if you know how to become one.

00:23:53.000 Anyway, this poor lad's become a bit of a patsy and the object of mainstream ire.

00:23:58.000 But really, the story, I believe, when someone from the military is willing to become a spoof assassin is why aren't they earning enough from their proper job Being in the military.

00:24:06.000 And what is the real story of criminality and corruption?

00:24:09.000 Is it military industrial complex expenditure?

00:24:12.000 Or is it one lad photographing himself in front of a mirror with some snacks behind him?

00:24:16.000 A bit like that other lad.

00:24:18.000 Buddy Tech's era.

00:24:19.000 Whistleblower.

00:24:20.000 Gamer.

00:24:32.000 Yeah, you can sniff your way back to full health. 0.91
