It s a world where we re in a managed reality, and who manages it is someone else s vision of reality. Who is the modern equivalent of Walt Disney? Who is Elon Musk? And who do you think is a rational alternative to Walt Disney, in terms of how things work in a world that is controlled, 360 degrees, a sphere of managed reality?

00:19:50.000In this video, we're going to see the future.
00:19:53.000I mean, what do we, you know, hello you awakening wonders.
00:20:08.000Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand in what could be a peripheral or precipitous or extraordinary moment, but also might be I have a sense, and it's not just a sense, I suppose I'm listening to what people are saying, we could be entering into a new purgatory.
00:20:32.000If you're watching this on YouTube, We're good to go.
00:20:55.000Let me tell you what I mean as best as I can.
00:20:58.000In 2016, the world was staggered, flabbergasted, dumbstruck and gobsmacked by the surprising victory of Donald Trump.
00:21:10.000The planet was reeling yet from the peculiar result of the Brexit referendum in my country, the UK, where people voted to leave the European Union.
00:21:20.000At that moment, bureaucrats staggered We live in its midst.
00:21:47.000As Baudrillard once said, I think it's Baudrillard...
00:21:52.000The fact that America has Disney World in it distracts us from the fact that America is Disney World.
00:21:58.000What it means by that, I reckon, is that we live in a managed reality.
00:22:03.000I've been to Disney World recently, so it's on my mind.
00:22:05.000When you go in a Disney World, you are in a carnival, a sanitized carnival.
00:22:11.000The carnival, let me know in the comments in the chat, you guys, when you go to a carnival in your country or in mine, it is itinerant.
00:23:03.000Who is the modern equivalent of Walt Disney?
00:23:05.000Let me know in the comments and chat and I'm going to tell you my answer real quick and I'll see when this catches up.
00:23:10.000We do have a modern equivalent of Walt Disney and I would say it's Elon Musk, someone who's entrepreneurial and is able to create a vision of reality.
00:23:17.000And I'm not making a moral judgment actually of either Walt Disney or of Elon Musk.
00:23:22.000I'm talking about people's ability to generate a universe and then populate it.
00:23:33.000And we have a moment now where we are literally deciding, or you, the American public, are supposed to be deciding, if this is how these matters work, on whether you believe in the vision of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement with its enhancements, I would argue they're enhancements, begatted and betrothed by the inclusion of Bobby Kennedy, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk.
00:24:01.000Indeed, isn't it increasingly difficult not to see that collaboration, that new pantheon, as kind of a positive evolution on anything the Republican Party has previously offered, and anything the current Democratic Party...
00:24:30.000Because whether you're in America or Disney World or probably France or Morocco or Iceland, you are in a managed reality.
00:24:38.000And who manages information manages reality, you could argue, unless you're sort of a mendicant, unless you live separate from the world, unless you disavow it.
00:24:49.000And how many of us in the last 20 years have thought, God, I just don't have anything to do with this stuff, man.
00:24:53.000Nevertheless, we're going to be talking about the people that control reality and the ways they control reality.
00:24:58.000We're going to, of course, be looking at Joe Rogan's conversation with Elon Musk.
00:25:03.000What do you think about Rogan endorsing Trump's fait accompli in a way, isn't it?
00:25:07.000It's sort of obvious, like in the Trump-Rogan conversation, when Donald Trump goes, you're not a Kamala guy.
00:25:45.000How can anything other than a Trump victory take place, either over the next 24 hours or the coming weeks?
00:25:53.000But yet we already get exposed to what has become known as pre-bunking.
00:25:57.000I learned what pre-bunking was from Michael Schellenberger, the journalist who, along with Matt Taibbi, Barry Weiss and some others, Others participated when Twitter got took over and turned into ex-Bymusk in revealing just how involved the government had been in controlling what was on that site.
00:26:16.000Schellenberger told me and you, our audience, that what pre-bunking is, is when you are invited in advance to have a particular perception of a story.
00:26:24.000The Hunter Biden laptop story is a classic example of a pre-bunk.
00:26:29.000They were told, various journalists were literally invited to a conference, and the example of the Hunter Biden laptop story was given to them as, hey, watch out, there's going to be some stories that there's crazy stuff on Hunter Biden's laptop, so be ready for that.
00:26:40.000Now, it seems that there's some pre-bunking going on when it comes to voting machines.
00:26:46.000There are only three companies that make voting machines, Dominion and a couple of others.
00:26:53.000That's a near monopoly on something that's extraordinarily significant.
00:26:57.000We might be waking up tomorrow to a Trump administration or a Kamala administration, or we might find ourselves in a kind of extraordinary purgatory.
00:27:06.000One thing we could be aware of is people are talking about voter integrity.
00:27:11.000You will have all seen those videos of people pressing Trump and it coming up Kamala.
00:27:15.000You'll have seen burning ballot boxes.
00:27:18.000You'll have seen all of those extraordinary iterations of this story.
00:27:48.000I've been in situations, myself personally, where the media themselves function as a unit.
00:27:55.000Whether that's with literal integration, collaboration, another word for that is conspiracy, breathe together, like where British media organisations worked together on creating, reframing stories about me and my past, and then the whole of the British media reported simultaneously on those stories, and still indeed are trying to influence those stories, and it's peculiar to watch.
00:28:20.000How the information machine manages information in order to achieve certain outcomes.
00:28:56.000We could be living here in Nevada, waiting and waiting and waiting.
00:29:00.000And if you remember, Nevada will take a week to count all their votes.
00:29:04.000Well, because they go four days after.
00:29:05.000And you'll have more ballots coming in.
00:29:07.000And then you're really going to be used a lot on air because this is going to be lawyers upon lawyers litigating which ballots can get fixed or cured is the language you'll start to see those provisional ballots.
00:29:20.000So the nightmare scenario where we're just waiting for weeks, sort of the Florida of 2000.
00:29:25.000Cart Monson in the rumble chat says that the best neologisms of 24 are pre-bunking, gaslighting, and lawfare.
00:30:00.000I bet before there was a war between Britain and Germany, there was sort of gentle propaganda saying, we want to watch out for these Germans.
00:30:07.000If you have to control entire populations, you have to control their minds and you have to control their hearts.
00:30:12.000If you can't control their hearts anymore because the era of the razzmatazz politicians like Obama and Clinton is over and you're sort of left with the dregs.
00:30:21.000And I don't mean that in a derogatory sense in terms of their essential quality as a human, but someone like Kamala Harris is not a razzmatazz politician like Bill Clinton or Barack Obama.
00:30:33.000It doesn't have that kind of prestige or power.
00:30:36.000You've got to find ways of controlling people that are sort of, in a sense, outside of...
00:30:41.000Well, they're not going to be persuasive.
00:31:08.000Let's get out the boat Let's win Like that does one way that this The soaring costs of fuel prices could be countered.
00:31:22.000Instead of offering people access to energy, you could put that video on and people could warm themselves with the flush of embarrassment in the chillier parts of the United States over the winter months.
00:32:37.000But do any of us believe that there's any integrity or credibility at the heart of this democratic government, this sort of odd globalist cadre that will change their principles more frequently than Bill Clinton's interns change their frocks?
00:32:50.000Because there are no permanent principles to gird themselves to.
00:32:55.000Permanent principles would mean, I don't know, kindness because it's real and necessary service, because it's the way that we connect to one another and demonstrate humility.
00:33:05.000These are the kind of principles I'm referring to.
00:33:08.000Now, to see and demonstrate how the principles of power mesh to the actions of media, have a look at the view.
00:33:16.000If you watch Ghost, you're gonna love Whoopi Goldberg.
00:33:23.000And if you've seen Donald Trump on The View, something that people talk about now, because we are sort of a little more au fait with media studies.
00:33:29.000We've all seen Donald Trump, prior to his ascent into politics, or dissent, depends on how you regard it, fated over on The View.
00:33:37.000Now, Liz Cheney, who is connected to sort of pretty powerful military and energy forces and resources.
00:33:46.000Liz Cheney, who is a pretty hawkish politician.
00:33:49.000Liz Cheney, who Donald Trump said what he seemed to me was trying to say, and indeed did say in his own way, was...
00:33:56.000If she advocates for war, she ought be willing to participate in it in a visceral and real way, i.e.
00:34:02.000That was, of course, mangled and manipulated.
00:34:04.000But if The View can now fate and adore Liz Cheney as they once fated and adored Donald Trump, what does it tell you about how power's moving around, i.e.
00:34:16.000what is it that they're trying to tell us?
00:34:18.000If they're saying that, like, Liz Cheney is, like, a great person, and by the way, she might be, but I don't think The View care about that.
00:34:25.000I think what The View care about is continuing to amplify and support the messaging of centralized interests in order that their business model can be perpetuated.
00:34:45.000You could conceivably be a great AG. And I say this because your moral core is magnificent.
00:35:02.000I know you probably don't want to think about it, but I just feel like I would feel a lot better With you leading the FBI, the CIA, the NBC, the NBC, everybody.
00:35:46.000Think about what Bobby Kennedy's going to do with Pfizer and the FDA and the NIH. Think of how a figure like Bobby Kennedy in the upper echelons of the political establishment is going to alter the health of millions of American people.
00:35:59.000Is it going to be better for Americans?
00:36:00.000And someone like Tulsi Gabbard, who has military experience, who knows what war's like, who doesn't want to be involved in war, who has integrity.
00:36:16.000Whoopi Goldberg suggested today that Kamala could, should turn over the Justice Department to the Cheneys by making Liz Cheney the Attorney General.
00:36:25.000I think she'd far likely be Kamala's Defence Secretary or Secretary of State.
00:36:44.000And likely related to her position, her assent, her alliance to the Democrats, and the way that power is genuinely operating.
00:36:57.000And what you might have, and what I certainly have, is a sense that there is a, the opposite of what Whoopi Goldberg says, no moral core at the heart of this.
00:37:06.000We're going to be looking at some hypocrisy at the heart of the establishment.
00:37:08.000If you've watched us on YouTube, stay with us.
00:37:10.000We'll be with you for a couple more minutes.
00:37:12.000Here's a word from our sponsors who are offering you the opportunity to protect your online presence from a 360 perspective.
00:38:34.000Hey, listen, if you watch this on YouTube, we're going to be talking about Joe Rogan's endorsement of Trump, and we're going to be showing you...
00:38:44.000And we're going to be showing you Elon Musk's conversation with Joe Rogan.
00:38:49.000In particular, I like the discussion on lawfare, the establishment of X, how X has altered the political conversation...
00:38:57.000And Elon Musk's sighting of Stalin's right-hand man.
00:39:01.000Do you think, let me know in the comments and chat, do you think that Trump, Vance, and Musk's appearances on Rogan are going to be enough to swing it?
00:39:10.000And if they're not, what does that tell you about the media landscape in America?
00:39:19.000Listen, this is an interesting moment.
00:39:20.000One of the things I suppose we are starting to sense is there's a lack of moral fortitude at the heart of the establishment.
00:39:28.000The Nelk Boys, with this stunt, are able to, in a pretty whimsical way, expose what a lot of us sense.
00:39:36.000That there are people that make claims about their moral position, like, you know, I believe in mass migration because I think we have a duty to protect and love one another.
00:39:46.000When they themselves would not be willing to open their hearts or homes to vulnerable vagrants.
00:39:54.000I dressed up like I work for Kamala's campaign, and now I'm going to deliver immigrants to her supporters.
00:40:57.000It's a pretty high, but that's very good comedy because it exposes something important.
00:41:02.000Do people that say that they believe in migration themselves have the spiritual and moral cojones to back that up?
00:41:12.000Would you have homeless people or migrants that without homes live with you and your family?
00:41:19.000Some people would say, yeah, and those people I think are the best among us, people that are willing to love to that degree.
00:41:27.000It's a significant step on the way to sainthood, and what I reckon we sense when, now that all the sheen and the glamour is left, now that the party is all but over, now that we're not dealing with Bill Clinton or Barack Obama, or even sort of the brown 1980s version of Joe Biden,
00:41:46.000where he, in sepia tones, snarled about the war on drugs, but instead Kamala Harris, a sort of elevated bureaucrat, It's difficult to find something to believe in.
00:42:01.000Is there anything to believe in other than a deep and institutional loathing of Donald Trump here being excellently expressed by Joe Scarborough, who lacks nothing when it comes to commitment to his own opinion.
00:42:19.000I will ask the question that I think is a fair question to ask.
00:43:25.000Now, man, now you're in the territory of comedy.
00:43:27.000Now, in the 80s and 90s, there were some pretty dark comedians out there making some pretty dark and outrageous jokes.
00:43:33.000And some of your best comedians and some of ours talking about, like, say, Ricky Gervais, or in my case, as an Englishman, or Woody Allen, in your case, as Americans, saying, make the point that when it comes to comedy, anything.
00:43:48.000And if it's shocking, that's probably because there's a mutual acknowledgement, certainly on behalf of the perpetrator or author of the joke and the recipients of the joke, that what you're saying is in fact scandalous.
00:44:01.000So you can't make a moral judgment of a group of people based on the fact that they're willing to laugh at a joke that's somewhat scandalous or a little hot.
00:44:12.000And what Joe Scarborough is doing there, if you ask me, is doubling down on the contempt for Trump supporters that characterised the 2015-16 era.
00:44:21.000If you like Trump, you're in that basket of deplorables.
00:44:24.000Unless you're on board with this project, then you yourself are a Nazi.
00:44:29.000But we've just seen, even in that Nilk Boys skit, that people that are, you know, if not full throttle Kamala voters, then default Kamala voters...
00:44:40.000Aren't that committed to what they believe in?
00:44:42.000And this is the problem, if you want to get a little deeper, I consider it to be a bit deeper, with living in a managed reality that has no proper principles behind it.
00:44:53.000You'll go to war if it's convenient and expedient to go to war.
00:44:56.000You'll believe that you're willing to enter into the illusion that there's a humanitarian motivation between the Ukraine-Russia conflict, that...
00:45:04.000NATO weren't involved in the provocation that Taiwan now are all vulnerable and will help them, that there oughtn't be diplomacy brought about urgently to resolve warfare in the Middle East.
00:45:16.000Unless you've got actual concrete or at least clear principles about what you want your government to do both domestically and internationally, and a lot of people now I think are I don't want to do anything internationally.
00:45:27.000I want to run my country well and fair.
00:45:45.000I want to be informed by my own relationship with God.
00:45:48.000What you don't want, I don't think, is for humankind to be at the apex of all our systems of morality, for reason to be the ultimate value.
00:45:58.000Well, I can reason why I should be able to sleep around.
00:46:01.000I can reason why we should be able to go there and extract those resources.
00:46:04.000Reason can be deployed for a multitude of reasons to a multitude of objectives to fulfill any agenda.
00:46:19.000It's very, very difficult to live like that.
00:46:21.000And I think that what we're experiencing now is a centrist establishment that For example, if Rachel Maddow believes that the right are repugnant and disgusting and that Trump is a new Hitler and that presumably a platform like Daily Wire is loathsome.
00:46:51.000Why are MSNBC taking commercials for Am I Racist?
00:46:56.000What does that tell you about their real values?
00:46:58.000I've not seen the film Am I Racist yet.
00:47:00.000I spoke to Matt Walsh about it and I understand it to be an essay on the use of DEIs to create further division and Let's look at this peculiar fact that...
00:47:27.000The Daily Wire have got ad spots on MSNBC. We're going to take a quick break.
00:47:32.000When we come back, we've got a whole show for you.
00:47:34.000It's our last little show before the election.
00:47:37.000I think it's fair to say it's going to be pretty different than every other last show you've seen before the election, either on this network or any others.
00:48:37.000Smart investment by Daily Wire and Matt Walsh, revealing about the mentality that ultimately prevails at companies and organizations like MSNBC. We all carry commercials and adverts.
00:48:51.000Do we all make claims beyond the claims like individual sovereignty is vital, community democracy, vital sovereignty?
00:48:59.000The ability to freely practice your religion.
00:49:02.000The ability to vote democratically when it comes to the way your communities and your country are managed and controlled.
00:49:09.000The limitation of the ability of government to replace God in your life.
00:49:14.000For government to become the highest principle.
00:49:16.000And then to use that power to facilitate globalism, corporatism and absolute control.
00:50:49.000Go to twc.health forward slash brand and use the code brand Don't wait for the next crisis to hit.
00:51:02.000Be prepared, get your kit today and take control.
00:51:06.000Elon Musk's gone out there, full support for Trump, likely to be part of any Trump MAGA government, and now on Joe Rogan, has expressed in a number of ways the significance of this election, believing, as many of the people on the other side do, as many Democrat people believe, that this is a pivotal, life-changing election.
00:51:41.000It's kind of made me feel a little more relaxed about everything on, let's face it, what is a pretty anxiety-inducing day in a peculiar vortex of a time.
00:51:52.000Rachel Maddow says that in the event of a Democratic Party victory, Elon Musk's numerous government contracts will be cancelled.
00:52:02.000Even if Trump doesn't win, the Defense Department and NASA are going to need a new arrangement for all their rockets and for all the multi-billion dollar contracts Elon Musk's companies have with the US government.
00:52:15.000The US government is going to have to either unwind from all of those contracts or Elon Musk's companies are going to have to unwind from him.
00:52:26.000This is an untenable reality in national security terms.
00:52:32.000Now that we know what we know about This is an extraordinary moment.
00:52:50.000Early on in this election, we began to wonder, ah, really what's happening is that legacy media and new media are engaged in a battle of information.
00:53:00.000And if what we learned from Brexit and Trump 2015-16 holds true now, then once you've got Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson lining up behind Donald Trump, then a Trump victory is inevitable.
00:53:18.000How many of you believe that Facebook spaces, meta spaces, Google, Alphabet, YouTube spaces will be managing reality, particularly when it comes to swing states and swing voters?
00:53:28.000And how many of you trust the integrity of voting machines?
00:53:32.000And how many of you trust the institutions themselves that...
00:53:38.000The judiciary, the police force, the military, and you'd have to say the set of interests and agencies that coalesce around health, although they ultimately coalesce around pharma now, which isn't even medicine.
00:53:50.000It's essentially a carousel of profiteering from the perpetually sick.
00:53:56.000This seems to me to be an election where if you're invested in change, if you're invested in individual sovereignty, you wouldn't be able to vote for a democratic party that has shown themselves allied with war, hawkishness, sickness of American people, institutionalism,
00:54:12.000bureaucracy, propaganda, surveillance, censorship, gaslighting, pre-bunking, deception, hatred of the family, hatred of the individual, hatred of God, all dressed up in a word-mangling mess and presenting itself to you as freedom.
00:54:28.000Now, Joe Rogan has endorsed Donald Trump's Surely that's going to be enough.
00:54:37.000His endorsement, you would imagine, will push anyone over the line.
00:54:41.000And Elon Musk has gone on, Rogan, to give a kind of rallying cry for the undecided and those that haven't voted yet.
00:54:50.000So what will we be waking up to on November the 6th?
00:54:55.000And how is it that institutions like the judiciary can be deployed not in order to meet our justice blindly and therefore openly, but can themselves become further conduits for power and for power's excesses?
00:55:12.000Here is Musk on Rogan talking about how the acquisition of X And the control that can be asserted on Musk through lawfare, the neologism that we love, has become a key battlefront in this election.
00:55:29.000I think if Trump wins, we'll see probably most of the boycott lift.
00:55:34.000But if Kamala wins, we'll see that boycott get stronger.
00:55:53.000Well, I mean, they can just, they can stick the DOJ on, you know, and say, like, you know, they've had this whole thing about, like, hate speech, misinformation, whatever, except that they're the ones pushing the misinformation.
00:56:04.000But that doesn't stop them from filing massive, you know, lawsuits and using the DOJ. I mean, like, the DOJ has, you know, been attacking SpaceX, for example, for not hiring asylum seekers, even though it is legal for SpaceX to hire anyone who is not a permanent resident of the U.S. So we're downed if we do and downed if we don't.
00:56:23.000This is just an example of what DOJ can do.
00:56:26.000So it's illegal to hire someone who's not an American citizen?
00:56:31.000SpaceX is considered an advanced weapons technology.
00:56:35.000So it's covered by international traffic and arms regulations because we make rocket technology that can be used against the United States.
00:56:41.000It's like if North Korea or Iran got SpaceX rocket technology, they could use that to launch nukes at America.
00:56:51.000So since we are in the most extreme category of weapons technology at SpaceX, under US ITAR law, it is illegal for us to hire anyone who's not a permanent resident.
00:57:04.000Because the presumption is that if they're not a permanent resident, they're going to return to their home country and take the rocket technology with them.
00:57:19.000They can have a green card or be a citizen.
00:57:21.000They just have to be a permanent resident of the United States.
00:57:24.000Then there's another law that says if you discriminate against asylum seekers, you're also breaking the law.
00:57:35.000So the DOJ can only do a small number of big lawsuits every year.
00:57:39.000Launched a giant lawsuit against SpaceX, saying that SpaceX discriminated against asylum seekers.
00:57:46.000And we're like, but it's illegal for us to hire them.
00:57:49.000And here, Musk talks specifically about the power of lawfare.
00:57:54.000The sheer number of hoaxes that the Democratic Party is pushing over and over again.
00:58:00.000And it's like, look, I understand politicians are going to exaggerate, they're going to misspeak, and they'll tell occasional untruths, whatever.
00:59:22.000They'll take, like, not even a full sentence, like a half a sentence from Trump, and then they'll push it on every ad, every speaking event, every media.
00:59:39.000I mean, a recent one that came up, which had a lot of people, because a lot of people reached out to me, was like, they're like, oh, Trump says he wants to execute Liz Cheney.
00:59:55.000All he said was like, what he's saying is that, look, If Liz Cheney actually had to fight at the front lines, she'd think twice about going to war.
01:00:33.000And all Trump was saying was that Liz Cheney would be much less of a warmonger, because she's a huge warmonger, just like her dad, if she actually had to go to the front lines and fight herself.
01:00:46.000And meanwhile, they're saying that he's saying she should be shot.
01:01:32.000Yeah, we've had comparable challenges with YouTube, certainly not comparable in the sense of a Joe Rogan interview with Trump, but clear manipulation of figures and direction of content.
01:01:44.000And that, I suppose, becomes evident to anyone who operates on that channel.
01:01:48.000One of the other changes that's taken place since 2016, when it became Evident that emergent media was more efficient in reaching and influencing people than traditional forms of media, because it's more bespoke is one thing, more authentic is another reason, is that they were going to have to find ways of controlling it, and indeed they have.
01:02:07.000Firstly, they smear people that are prominent, they control algorithms, they direct you towards favourable sources of information, and that's why I suppose this election is difficult to call.
01:02:20.000Almost entirely in independent media, like I do, the kind of media I consume is probably the same as the type of media you lot consume.
01:02:26.000I look at the people whose content we cite on this channel, then it would seem like, well, Trump's got this sewn up.
01:02:33.000You're adding to Donald Trump figures like, in particular, Bobby Kennedy, who's an anti-establishment candidate in so much as he's outspoken when it comes to bureaucrats like Fauci and has given a sort of a Dark eulogy about Fauci's past in his book, The Real Anthony Fauci, who's outspoken about FISA, who's pro-environment.
01:02:52.000I mean, someone like that melded into the Trump movement you would think would make it a shoe-in when people are just exhausted and worn out with bureaucracy and institutional politics that seems unresponsive and unreflexive.
01:03:51.000I think we've got another message, have we?
01:03:53.000Yeah, have a look at Kalshi, because, yeah, if you think you know for certain how this thing's going to go down, you can put your money where your mouth is with Kalshi.
01:04:24.000With the election being in all our minds, we can put our money where we mouthsies.
01:04:28.000No, we can put our money where our mouths are, and we can bet on not only the outcome of the election, but how Senate's going to roll out, and what the proportions are going to be in Congress.
01:04:38.000Anyway, you could vote for either Kamala or Trump in this election.
01:04:41.000So if you are a person that does gamble, gamble with Calci.
01:04:45.000Gambling's not for me, but I'm also not a totalitarian despot, so I believe you should do what you want to do.
01:04:52.000So, you could go to couchery.com forward slash brand and the first 500 traders who deposit $100 will get a $20 credit.
01:05:00.000You might not get a clearer example of how media manipulation and political duplicity coexist and co-align than this.
01:05:10.000Now, it was broadcast on CNN, so that at least is a favourable nod in the direction of old-school media institutions, but it's never anything other than disconcerting to see the same political candidate attempting to simultaneously reach people on different sides of a literal war.
01:05:32.000A K-File investigation this hour finds Kamala Harris is targeting crucial battleground voters with vastly different messages on Gaza and Israel.
01:05:40.000This ad is running in Michigan, which has the largest Arab population in America.
01:05:48.000What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating.
01:05:52.000We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering, and I will not be silent.
01:06:00.000All right, well, it's a very different story for an ad in Pennsylvania targeting Jewish voters.
01:06:09.000I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself.
01:06:15.000And I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7.
01:06:42.000And look, this really illustrates the sort of fine line that the Harris campaign is trying to walk here in the closing weeks, closing days of this campaign on the issue of Israel.
01:06:51.000Here you have two entirely different constituencies, and they are getting two entirely different messages.
01:06:57.000There are oftentimes these constituencies have very opposing views.
01:07:00.000If you are a Jewish person in Pennsylvania, you saw that ad that you're getting.
01:07:04.000You are getting that ad that talks about how strong she is in Israel.
01:07:07.000If you're a Muslim voter in Michigan, you are getting that ad on Facebook that's talking about how she won't be silent on the issue of Gaza.
01:07:17.000Now, what's really interesting here is that ad that we just played, the one that's going to Jewish voters in Pennsylvania.
01:07:23.000Now, it sort of sounds like those two clips of her talking about Israel But they actually cut part of it out.
01:07:33.000What has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating.
01:07:38.000President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.
01:08:00.000And you've seen, too, that she, obviously, they cut out that portion of the ad where they talked about Gaza from her DNC speech.
01:08:11.000Now, look, she's also getting hammered a lot on this issue by Republicans.
01:08:15.000We talked just a couple days ago about how those robocalls were airing in Wisconsin that are made to sound like they're in support of Jill Stein talking about her position.
01:08:23.000On Gaza saying that they're highlighting her pro-Israel position and they're sort of trying to siphon those votes away from her.
01:08:30.000So this is a really delicate issue for her.
01:08:39.000John Mearsheimer talking about the same issue.
01:08:41.000He's a sort of professor and a military expert talking about how he couldn't countenance voting for the Democrats as a result of their position on that conflict.
01:08:53.000Do you want to share who you're voting for?
01:09:28.000So, in a sense, the Democrats have found themselves in an unassailable position of trying to appeal to people with directly contradictory views when they have no real values that undergird their position under the service of either Globalist interests, deep state interests, corporate interests, and how those sets of interests intersect to form, I suppose, the nexus of real power.
01:09:56.000And to prevent anyone from recognizing that they are merely a vehicle for those interests, they continually, I suppose, distract us with messaging about We're good to go.
01:10:21.000Captured the bureaucratic class, but that's just what I think.
01:10:24.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
01:10:28.000Hey, listen, if you're not an Awakened Wonder yet and you are not participating in our Break Bread conversations, here's a moment from my conversation with Carl Lenz where he's talking about rather unusual ways of taking commute.
01:11:20.000We know it's going to be pretty extraordinary and purgatorial.
01:11:24.000Let's have a look at the incident that, in a sense, and the era that brought us here.
01:11:29.000The time that most of us lost our faith in the establishment, lost our faith in institutions, began looking at new ways to understand reality, which during the pandemic period, you might have gone into that pandemic, We're good to go.
01:12:00.000Having had guests as prominent as Musk, Vance, and Trump on in the immediate build-up to the election, that that can't have a significant impact on its outcome.
01:12:10.000Nevertheless, we await on a precipice.
01:12:13.000Here's Musk and Rogan discussing the pandemic era and the significance of Operation Warp Speed.
01:12:20.000Like you guys had no strategy for dealing with it if it got out?
01:12:24.000And so you have to, like, make up this new vaccine in, like, record time, Operation Warp Speed, release it to the people with very little testing?
01:14:33.000You have these clinical researchers, these people that develop these incredible drugs, and this is their job.
01:14:38.000Their job is to figure out some new way to cure something, some new way to stop things, and then you have the money people.
01:14:45.000And the problem is when you have this one thing that you would assume they're only doing it to help people, and then they have this other faction that they're just numbers people, and all they give a fuck about is maximizing profits and making sure they literally have an obligation to their shareholders.
01:15:03.000They have to make the most amount of money possible.
01:15:05.000And so they just want to push it on everybody.
01:15:31.000But he was psyched out the same after his eyes.
01:15:32.000Yeah, he had knee problems, and he took Vioxx, and all of a sudden he was slurring his words, and he couldn't concentrate, and people were like, I think you're having a fucking stroke, and they took him to the hospital, and then you have this giant class-action lawsuit, and then Vioxx gets pulled from the market, and they get sued, and the whole thing's fucking crazy, but there's a long history of this.
01:15:50.000I think, what is the number, like one-third of the drugs that the FDA approves gets pulled?
01:16:03.000What matter of metamorphosis will we be about to go through?
01:16:07.000The reason that I do break bread is because I believe that a lot of the answers will come from conversations that go beyond the political purview.
01:16:16.000Eric Metaxas is joining us for break bread this week.
01:16:45.000And I pray that really what begins to become evident and obvious to all of you is that without God, without virtue and true principles, you can't create a cohesive society because you can't create consensus without principles.
01:16:59.000And you can't create principles without meaning.
01:17:01.000And you can't create meaning without God.
01:17:04.000And you don't need to create God because God is real.
01:17:09.000But if we We replace God with nothingness and human will and materialism, rationalism and science, not as observation and analysis of God's miracle, but itself a new orthodoxy.
01:17:22.000You end up in a peculiar priesthood, a peculiar cathedral that will, in the end, as we are experiencing, lead us to nihilism.
01:17:31.000A dark kind of emptiness that will have as its characteristics a kind of hysteria, a bewilderment, a sense of loss and self-devouring, an aurora boralis of self-consumption.
