Live from Mar-A-Largo, we're covering the President's trip to Florida, and all the news from around the world, including J.D. Vance's anti-Trump rant, the latest on the Ukraine crisis, and much more.
00:06:26.000And if you don't have Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium now because then you get access to our additional content.
00:06:32.000And you never know what additional content we'll be making here today live from Mar-a-Lago, which is, I've got to say, it's like being in Disney World.
00:06:45.000Obviously, for understandable reasons, two attempts.
00:06:49.000On the president's life, a kind of ongoing global antagonism, the sense that we could be on the precipice of something extraordinary and important.
00:06:58.000I'm told at the moment he's out playing golf.
00:07:01.000He stops mid-golf and has lunch mid-golf, then he continues, then he returns.
00:07:06.000I mean, it's just so astonishing to be here.
00:07:10.000Even if you regarded Donald Trump with the highest level of antipathy imaginable.
00:07:15.000What you couldn't deny is that this is a fascinating man at a fascinating time.
00:07:21.000One of the stories we'll talk about later is his sort of audacious bid to get China and Russia to slash their military spending by 50%.
00:07:31.000A story that's peculiarly gone over the radar.
00:07:34.000And one of the themes of today is left versus right.
00:07:37.000There are these extraordinary areas where radicals from the left and radicals from the right are starting to agree on a variety of subjects.
00:07:45.000For example, the New York Times took J.D. Vance apart for something he said in his speech.
00:07:51.000Brilliant bit of writing by Aaron Maté, who's as left as left as left can be, like he's Jewish and pro-Palestine, and yet he contests the New York Times' take on the J.D. Vance speech.
00:08:47.000Because it's really funny, like Wikipedia are campaigning to raise money, and Musk says, I'll give you a billion dollars if you change your name to Dickipedia.
00:08:57.000Imagine if you were actually charged with raising those funds.
00:09:02.000You'd have to at least consider, Oh God, are we going to have to change it to Dickopedia?
00:09:07.000Doesn't that undermine everything we're doing?
00:09:09.000This is the mad trickster mentality that's been unleashed in, you know, you have to say, mainstream politics as a result.
00:09:17.000But then we're going to be talking about, there's so much to talk about with Ukraine.
00:09:20.000There's the UK's pledge through Keir Starmer, our Prime Minister, that he's going to send peacekeepers.
00:09:28.000Peacekeepers to Ukraine to keep peace.
00:09:31.000But to keep peace when there's already a war means participate in a war.
00:09:36.000And while there might be claims made, they'll be in non-combat roles when they'll only be in non-combat roles, don't you remember all of this kind of rhetoric before, like in the Iraq war?
00:09:47.000Aren't you sort of sick and tired of these glistening turds, of this claptrap and crap that they unload upon us?
00:09:55.000Let me know if you're interested in the UK's pledge to lend, like, you know, boots on the ground at a time where negotiations are beginning in Saudi Arabia.
00:10:03.000There are peace talks between Russia...
00:10:09.000Let's stop pretending this isn't a proxy war between Russia and America.
00:10:14.000Let's not pretend that Ukraine can continue without NATO support and without US financing and military support.
00:10:20.000If that's a prerequisite for the perpetuation of the conflict, then who ultimately is fighting and who ultimately is paying for it?
00:10:27.000Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.
00:10:30.000We'll be talking about the US's new position on Ukraine and the peace talks.
00:10:35.000And also the idea that, like, Trump is regarded as a warmonger when he, sort of more than Biden, more than any sort of president in memory, is seeking to bring about peace.
00:10:57.000We got a pack of Donald Trump mints, don't we, Isaac?
00:10:59.000We got them from Greens in Palm Beach.
00:11:03.000Yeah, then we're going to be talking about censorship and sort of USAID's continuing role in censorship.
00:11:09.000And we're also, there's some mad stuff about vaccines.
00:11:12.000Essentially, the mainstream media are talking about links between mRNA vaccines and cancer.
00:11:18.000And we've got a brilliant story from the UK about, I can't even believe I'm telling you this, that they offered, Moderna offered children...
00:11:27.000Peddy bears in order to participate in clinical trials.
00:11:30.000It's like Big Pharma, not satisfied with peddling bad medicine, are trying to mimic the actual child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in, like, pedophile medicine.
00:11:47.000No wonder there's so many children missing all across the world and child trafficking at extraordinary all-time highs because it seems like there's some weird, dark stuff going on.
00:11:58.000And I'm at Mar-a-Lago participating in an event today.
00:12:06.000Let's just get into some of the silliness.
00:12:08.000Firstly, back in my beloved homeland, the United Kingdom, David Tennant, brilliant actor who played Doctor Who memorably and excellently hosted the BAFTA Awards.
00:12:19.000That's like the British equivalent of the Oscars.
00:12:21.000Now, let me know in the comments and chat if you care anymore about these galas and events that offer accolades to people for sort of dressing up and performing.
00:12:29.000I don't mean derisory and dismissive about actors because, you know, think about an amazing thing like Godfather or a British...
00:12:34.000I mean, the original one with Dudley Moore.
00:12:37.000Oh, Dudley Moore, God rest your eternal soul, you brilliant, brilliant genius.
00:12:42.000The main reason I did that movie, Arthur, by the way, is because Dudley Moore had done it.
00:12:45.000And, you know, he died, I think, in Palm Beach.
00:12:47.000He kind of lived around here somewhere.
00:12:58.000And my mate Gareth, who, you know Gareth, of course, who prepares this content, he says, watching David Tennant, it's like this speech is from 10 years ago.
00:13:23.000They're clearly in the hock and pay of massive financial interests, global corporatist power.
00:13:31.000Since then, Bobby Kennedy has ultimately left the Democrat Party and has now been appointed as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
00:13:38.000This is an extraordinary and staggering revelation.
00:13:42.000Since then, Tulsi Gabbard has become a member of the Trump administration.
00:13:47.000see if these facts have been calibrated into david tenet's perspective and i say this with respect to david tenet he's a good actor but let's let's watch this together and see what we think and let me know what you think about that kind of general hollywood elite condemnation of populist politicians who can make i think a legitimate claim to be more efficiently represented in the interests of ordinary people than the kind of globalists who mask themselves in the lacquer of woke
00:14:13.000let's make some noise for the sublime the brutalist A film about incredible architecture.
00:14:26.000In fact, it's the boldest architecture in film this year, apart from Donald Trump's hair and The Apprentice.
00:14:33.000Donald Trump, of course, he says he hasn't seen the...
00:14:36.000Pretty weak joke, pretty weak, because, like, oh, man, you know, I had that spat, didn't I, with Donald Trump years ago, because I was making a documentary with Oliver Stone, the brilliant filmmaker, and...
00:14:48.000Donald Trump had let Oliver Stone use all of these buildings to make, I think, Wall Street 2. Anyway, I made a bunch of jokes about Donald Trump.
00:15:40.000Also, by the way, at this point when you're insulting Donald Trump, you're insulting...
00:15:45.000Insulting the United States of America because he is the President of the United States of America, brought to power under an extraordinarily popular mandate.
00:15:54.000The electoral vote, the college vote, the Senate, Congress.
00:16:00.000And also, if you spend time in America, and obviously I'm here right now, the people that love Donald Trump, they're not all, I'm all right!
00:16:14.000You go to a cheesecake factory anywhere in America, these people love Donald Trump.
00:16:19.000So what you're saying is, I hate working class people.
00:16:22.000And because people can't say, I hate working class people, and I'm not claiming that David Tennant didn't grow up working class or whatever.
00:16:55.000They're sick and tired of people representing the interests of big business and global corporations while simultaneously condemning them.
00:17:01.000So when you come out and make jokes about Donald Trump, you've got to be a bit better than he watches Nickelodeon or his hair looks like shredded wheat.
00:17:16.000What you've got to do is you've got to try and understand what's happening.
00:17:20.000And people don't want to understand what's happening.
00:17:22.000People feel disconnected from the institutions of government, like the judiciary, the electoral process itself, both of the political parties, both of them, and from the media, precisely because now when people say we're going to war to protect democracy, they mean a set of institutions.
00:18:03.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat and let's see how much further David Tennant can get with this sort of ribald, insipid, Luke warm milk toast mockery of Trump.
00:18:31.000You're going to need more than that, you kilt, mate.
00:18:34.000What's really fascinating to me is that this condemnation, broadly speaking, is being offered as a kind of attack and discharge of what they, I reckon is being offered as a kind of attack and discharge of what they, I reckon in that But what are they actually celebrating?
00:18:57.000Making expensive movies that are about marginal and peripheral tastes.
00:19:03.000If actually what you care about is the populare, the vulgari, the folk, the people of the land.
00:19:10.000There's some issues they really care about.
00:19:13.000Like, for example, in the United Kingdom, I don't think the majority of people want to escalate the war between Ukraine and Russia and fund it.
00:19:20.000But that's what Keir Starmer is pledging to do.
00:19:23.000So power now in the UK. Donald Trump ain't UK power.
00:20:32.000And me, like you, I don't know if populism and nationalism and a kind of emergent sort of folk culture is going to save the world, but it is better than what they were offering.
00:20:46.000They were a different type of insidious imperialist, globalist, corporatist movement that masked itself in the pretense that they cared for ordinary working people.
00:21:01.000We've learned so much about the true nature of even social democratic forms of social care, let alone Soviet-style socialism.
00:21:12.000Social democracy leads inevitably to centralised control and authoritarianism.
00:21:17.000What they've created now is a system where in the UK, whatever party you vote for, you're going to vote for war.
00:21:23.000I'm going to get into that a bit later.
00:25:39.000Known as zombie cells, these senescent cells are old and worn out and not fulfilling a useful function for our health, but they take up space and nutrients from our healthy cells.
00:25:48.000Qualia senolytic removes zombie cells and allow healthy cells to thrive.
00:27:00.000NBC is using that plane crash that happened under...
00:27:03.000Canadian air traffic control sort of blamed Trump for something or another.
00:27:07.000That's that kind of ongoing derangement, man, that we saw at that BAFTA award.
00:27:10.000I did want to, you know, underscore to pick up on the conversation you were just having, though, in terms of the recent string of aviation incidents, Tom.
00:27:18.000This is going to, yet again, raise the concern about FAA staffing, air traffic control staffing.
00:27:27.000Now, this is a Canadian air traffic control tower, and this is under Canadian authority once across As you know, there has been this talk about maybe staff cuts at the FAA as a part of President Trump's effort to trim down the federal workforce.
00:29:13.000Isaac there, who's directing the show.
00:29:14.000Beloved Gareth, who you know well, and Jake, who's leading the whole thing.
00:29:17.000Let me know what you want to see first.
00:29:20.000UK-Ukraine, because this represents a massive split.
00:29:23.000This is where, like, whoever you vote for in the UK, you'll vote in to potentially send troops to support this war that the US now don't want no business with.
00:29:32.000Or do you want to hear that US support could continue in exchange for minerals?
00:31:09.000We're the thing that's holding it back.
00:31:11.000And frankly, we'll go as long as we have to go because we're not going to let the other happen.
00:31:17.000I feel like it's like no more bullshit.
00:31:19.000That's what I feel like when I'm watching him.
00:31:21.000Up until recently, it's bullshit when you see Joe Biden going, if we send troops to World War III, for Christ's sake, and then they facilitate and sanction the use of long-range missiles within Crimea.
00:31:35.000We got immediate and instantaneous communication.
00:31:37.000And that gives us the ability to critique and observe both the new and emergent Trump administration in a kind of very novel and unique format now.
00:31:48.000This ain't Trump 2016. This is Trump 2020. What are you in?
00:32:38.000All right, so Donald Trump's demand for $500 billion payback from Ukraine goes far beyond U.S. control over the country's critical minerals.
00:32:47.000It covers everything from ports and infrastructure to oil and gas and the larger resource base of the country.
00:32:52.000The terms of the contract that landed at Vladimir Zelensky's office a week ago amount to the U.S. economic colonization of Ukraine.
00:33:09.000From a place of self-righteousness when all he's doing is a version of what they were trying to do bureaucratically through a more conventional form of economic, nationalised imperialism.
00:33:20.000By nationalised, I mean the interests of the United States.
00:33:22.000Up until the election of Trump, it just seemed inevitable that we were going to see advancing globalism.
00:33:29.000The WHO have decided that everyone has to take this medicine.
00:33:33.000The WEF recommends that you have a chip placed under your skin.
00:34:26.000So you can talk about democracy, and people love talking about democracy here, which is great to talk about democracy, but where were you in 2014 when they actually needed you?
00:35:41.000They were doing that anyway while lying about it.
00:35:45.000What they do, when I say they, I mean sort of like what you might call neoliberal, centralist, globalist, the political class, is say, oh, have you seen this image of some rubble in Kiev?
00:36:05.000Here's Lindsey Graham saying it is, was, always is ultimately going to be about dominion, minerals, resources, power.
00:36:13.000Stop pretending that it is a very valuable rare earth minerals that he's trying to take by force.
00:36:21.000And I told President Trump, that's not a good way to do business.
00:36:25.000So you made Donald Trump a Ukraine hawk by showing him that map, huh?
00:36:28.000Well, I don't know if he's a Ukraine hawk, but I made him understand that if you let Putin get away with this, grabbing stuff at not his but force, other people will start doing it.
00:36:40.000If we don't take over, someone else will.
00:36:42.000Let's see how this ex-dude responds to it.
00:36:45.000Oh, what I like about this is, yeah, it kind of offers us the analysis that Trump sees things in economic and business terms, i.e.
00:37:55.000We're going to stay with you for a little while longer, even if you're watching us on X or YouTube, even though you know that we want you to join us on Rumble and support us there.
00:38:04.000Let's have a look at CNN acknowledging that American people don't want to fund this war anymore.
00:38:11.000So a peace deal, which is something we'll be talking about a little later, is precisely what your country is demanding.
00:38:44.000My goodness, up now in February of 2025 to 41%.
00:38:49.000And the clear majority of Republicans, and of course Republicans are in charge of the U.S. government now, 62% of Republicans say that the U.S. support for Ukraine is too much.
00:39:01.000What a difference from just three years ago.
00:39:03.000I can remember, John, all those backyards in the United States with those Ukrainian flags.
00:39:08.000Far fewer of them today as Americans' opinions on Ukraine.
00:39:11.000I like the way John was revealed there.
00:40:59.000Through the floor by 2024. Just 48% of Americans say that they're confident that Zelensky will do the right thing when it comes to world affairs.
00:41:07.000And GOP confidence has also plummeted dramatically.
00:41:32.000Donald Trump is a little bit orange isn't he No He is a little bit orange He probably Watches programs like children watch Like Nickelodeon No Everyone in this room might be a paedophile.
00:41:49.000There's all these weird paedophile rings.
00:41:53.000Who let Ricky Gervais back in this gig?
00:41:56.000A clear majority of Republicans are not confident, not confident, that Zelensky will do the right thing when it comes to world affairs.
00:42:04.000Really, a real trend line, ones you rarely see in the American public when it comes to Ukraine and Zelensky.
00:42:09.000Confidence in both going down through the ground.
00:42:12.000Look, some allies of President Trump have targeted Zelensky with harsh criticism over the last few years, and it could be that that's having...
00:42:38.000Like, what I've started to learn is, you know, your intuition about when you sort of, like, feel like, hmm, I don't think you should go to war with Russia.
00:42:44.000Haven't they got nuclear weapons right at the beginning of all this craziness?
00:42:54.000They've been lying to you all along, your whole life.
00:42:57.000They've been lying to you, manipulating you, dulling down your spirit, making you doubt yourself, making you doubt your intuition, making you doubt who you are, making you doubt what's right and what's wrong.
00:44:08.000The idea that there could be one composite psyche derived from such a large population is possibly preposterous.
00:44:15.000And if that is true, then you're going to have to federalize the United States once again and look at the country's origins and break it apart and decentralize wherever possible.
00:44:24.000But in any event, at this point, you're going to have a massive military, aren't you?
00:44:27.000And what you want probably is a leader.
00:44:29.000That speaks in plain and practical terms, in terms of...
00:44:33.000Let's cut expenditure on missiles or armaments generally by 50%.
00:44:39.000I mean, this is an extraordinary pledge, and we'll be covering that in a minute.
00:44:43.000Let's have a look at Glenn Greenwald, who's also a Rumble contributor.
00:44:46.000If you get Rumble Premium, you get additional content from me, from Glenn Greenwald, from Bongino, from Crowder.
00:44:51.000So join us over there, wherever you're watching us.
00:44:53.000If you're watching us now on X or YouTube or wherever you're watching us, here's Glenn Greenwald reacting to this.
00:45:05.000The history of American war since World War II, says Greenwald, almost without exception, is that the population gets manipulated to support the latest war based on a tsunami of war propaganda that plays on their most primal emotions.
00:45:15.000Then, at some point, they come in large numbers to regret it.
00:45:18.000Well, that does seem like a pretty reasonable appraisal of war.
00:45:21.000Don't you need precisely a president that's going to see it as a...
00:45:26.000What's the best possible outcome for everyone?
00:45:29.000And even if you hate Donald Trump on account of his hair, his orangeness, or whatever's been projected at you from the media, you have to recognize that that is a favorable trajectory rather than the peculiar globalist pursuit of a military victory over Russia.
00:46:02.000If you're a member of Rumble Premium, we are going long and we'll be doing some inside reporting from this beautiful, beautiful Mar-a-Lago.
00:46:08.000Do you remember when the FBI invaded and took their boxes?

00:47:52.000If you're watching us on AX, YouTube, whatever, we're going to be with you for a little while longer.
00:47:56.000Then on Rumble Premium, we've got some brilliant stories to bring you about new revelations about vaccines, potential links between vaccines and cancer.
00:48:49.000We're going to be looking at Keir Starmer's fighting style and his claim that your sons and daughters, your loved ones, the bravest and best of you, should give their lives what he believes in.
00:49:03.000Rishi Sunak, former Prime Minister of the UK, he was the dude that was, you know, he's Prime Minister, I don't know, five Prime Ministers and six months ago.
00:49:11.000Good to see Britain leading on this one.
00:49:13.000We must ensure that any peace in Ukraine is permanent, not just a pause in the Russian assault.
00:49:18.000As I said in Parliament last week, I told you, I told you, the government will have my support.
00:49:22.000Just like they all supported each other during the pandemic.
00:49:26.000Keir Starmer backed Boris Johnson then.
00:49:28.000Because, of course, it was a global and globalist event.
00:49:32.000And when I say globalist, what I mean is centralised, unelected forces subverting the will of the people.
00:49:38.000No wonder we're seeing emergent nationalist populism opposing that, because if you're going to have a country, you're going to have a country.
00:49:48.000Wouldn't it be lovely to have a planet where we all agree that ultimately we have a shared interest, that all of us have one God that loves us, that cares for us?
00:51:14.000Wars should be an absolute last resort, probably against physical external aggressors that are actually invading.
00:51:22.000And you might say, well, that describes Putin exactly.
00:51:24.000But that means you've not heard of Jeffrey Sachs or Professor Mearsheimer, and you've not heard about NATO's expansionism, and you've not heard about the globalist attempts to occupy Ukraine via NATO.
00:51:38.000Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
00:51:43.000If you were to follow someone in a war...
00:51:45.000You want to know that they can punch their weight, right?
00:51:48.000That's what people used to say about, I don't know, Ulysses Grant, one of your great civil war leaders, or George Washington, one of the founding fathers of your great nation.
00:51:58.000It's them guys, they got stuck in there.
00:53:50.000France and the UK and presumably some other European powers, even though Britain voted to leave the EU precisely because they didn't want their sovereignty subverted in the ways that it has been while members of the EU in a variety, myriad ways.
00:54:05.000Of course, people that are higher up the class ladder are like, but I can't go to France as easily!
00:54:10.000I can't get back yet with the same level of comfort!
00:54:14.000But ordinary people are starting to question what the EU is all about.
00:54:17.000Let me know in the comments and chat, do you think this is a good thing?
00:54:19.000Are you in the UK? Do you want to pay taxes for this?
00:54:22.000Do you want their hand in your pocket taking your money?
00:54:48.000Do you think with Trump saying we're going to negotiate a peace deal where we're going to continue our support in exchange for minerals, the discourse is changing.
00:55:51.000Did you see when Tucker Carlson interviewed Putin, did you get the idea that he is going to go on a colonial rampage, that he has some sort of supreme vision of Mother Russia that's going to expand?
00:56:03.000When has Russia ever actually done that?
00:56:07.000Of course, there was a sort of a spread in many, you know, what we regard as the Eastern Bloc, but the US imperialist and UK imperialist forces participated in that, in the carving up of the nation after the defeat of the Nazis, where the Russians and the Americans and the British fought together to liberate Europe, to end the horrors of the Holocaust.
00:56:25.000Now, I reckon there are deeper, ulterior narratives to investigate there, because I'm, you know, not a naive person anymore.
00:56:31.000I've had the shit kicked out of me by life enough times now to not trust them on anything.
00:56:37.000Do you seriously believe that this is a once-in-a-generation moment where the UK and France have to part ways from the United States of America to support Ukraine in a war against Russia?
00:56:49.000I hope at some point in this speech, in a minute, and we've got a plan.
00:56:53.000We've got a plan in the event that Putin uses nuclear weapons, particularly now that Putin and Trump are directly involved, it seems, in their own discourse and might come up with some deal.
00:57:04.000And they might go, yeah, do we want Britain?
01:00:22.000I had to have some vocal lessons during the pandemic when you lot were missing births and funerals and potentially taking medication that might be linked to a rising cancer.
01:00:32.000Now he wants, he's got some big idea that we're going to depart from the United States of America and start backing Macron!
01:01:21.000You know that they're not yet thoroughly investigating any potential causal links between those vaccines and cancer?
01:01:27.000You know that they've had to admit that myocarditis was caused, whether it was the Johnson& Johnson that had to be removed, the BioNTech, Pfizer jab.
01:03:19.000There's got to be some radical changes of focus.
01:03:21.000Never mind going around meeting Donald Trump and going to meet Zelensky.
01:03:25.000You focus on what's going on in the UK. People are deeply concerned about immigration.
01:03:29.000People are deeply concerned about rising crime.
01:03:32.000People are deeply concerned about their taxes.
01:03:34.000Agriculture is exploding into near perpetual protest in the streets of London because they're being charged a tax that's going to ruin their lives and their business model.
01:03:57.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
01:04:00.000What we're essentially discussing is a fissure between US interests and European interests, which in...
01:04:05.000A fact has revealed the trajectory of what we might call corporate globalism and its militaristic agenda because they can no longer depend upon US support in the same way they could under Biden.
01:04:17.000So now there's manoeuvring going on and we're starting to see the true shape, the silhouette of global corruption exposed, the shadow on the wall as well as the writing on the wall.
01:04:28.000in the comments and chat if it comes to a war between Macron, Keir Starmer and Vladimir Putin's almighty Russia.
01:04:35.000Or let me know if you might consider negotiating some sort of peace deal that allows dignity and sovereignty in some way for Ukrainian people and somehow helps that country to get back on its feet after this needless, senseless war that NATO certainly Maybe listen to that dude when he says there's a red line.
01:05:43.000So click the link in the description, baby, and we'll tell you all about that.
01:05:47.000And if you're not a member of We can't remember when this happened, but I had a situation in which I was in my garden and I just thought, I've been looking for years and years for what the truth is.
01:07:26.000I've drunk quite a lot of water and coffee, and we're just trying to find if there's something I can put on for you.
01:07:32.000But listen, we've got some good stories.
01:07:34.000We've not done the Peace Deal story yet, but we are on Rumble now, and this is what we pledged you, this is what we titled around, and this is what we're going to give you.
01:08:36.000but now we're in this extraordinary position where europe appear to be part in ways or at least posturing that they would consider doing that in the unlikely form of shadow boxer kia star while trump has made the audacious suggestion that china russia and the u.s should cut their military budgets by 50 now that's obviously going to be good for everybody isn't it let me know you think about that in the comments and chat let's have a look at donald trump saying this just you know i'm not making this shit
01:09:04.000one of the first meetings i want to have is with president chi of china president putin of russia and i want to say let's cut our military budget in half And we can do that.
01:09:19.000This is no bullshit politics, I would call it.
01:09:22.000What we've been dealing with up to now is bullshit politics.
01:09:25.000Remember, we don't know how this nationalist populism is going to play out across the world, but we have to acknowledge that Trump 2025 is not Trump 2016. Now, if you're not a Rumble Premium subscriber yet, become one, and you will get additional content from me as well as Glenn Greenwald, who had this to say.
01:09:40.000Those who failed or refused to see the massive opportunities from this Trump-led realignment and instead enslaved themselves to the broken, ossified, unimaginative, status quo perpetuating Democratic Party are some of the dumbest people on the planet.
01:09:54.000Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about Greenwald's claim there.
01:10:17.000If it was Barack Obama, try and imagine this, if Barack Obama came in and said, we're only going to support this ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia if there's skin in the game for America and some upside, you can't win a war against Russia.
01:10:30.000Also, we're going to cut military spending by 50%.
01:10:33.000Wouldn't you be going like Barack Obama?
01:11:42.000The guy's just been mandated into a...
01:11:44.000Position of significant and incredible power and is doing what he was elected to do other than things like that AI, MRNA stuff that I saw that geezer at, Larry, what's his name, out of Oracle talking about.
01:12:25.000Joe Biden was your successor and predecessor, but he planted the flag of the United States in downtown Kyiv and declared on behalf of the United States that the US will be with Ukraine for as long as it takes until Ukraine secures its independence.
01:12:50.000The credibility of the United States depends on how this war ends.
01:12:54.000Not just the Trump administration, the United States itself.
01:12:58.000I would secondly tell him that if you allow Putin to vassalize Ukraine, that'll send a message to China that you can recover what you regard as...
01:13:46.000First people that get colonised, tyrannised and subjugated are domestic populations.
01:13:50.000Say like, so that you don't feel like I'm talking about your brilliant country, my one, the UK. Firstly, they dominate a surf class, the proletariat, bring them down, get them under control.
01:14:00.000Then they go on colonial adventures, start taking on the people of India or various nations in Africa or the Caribbean.
01:14:09.000That's how it kind of rolls out with centralised power, whether it's under the guise of socialism or corporatism.
01:15:31.000In a way, I don't see that as a kind of jucundity and lightning of the mood.
01:15:36.000I see that as the revelation of their true appraisal and connection to the situation, that people in positions of diplomacy aren't actually...
01:15:47.000Rooted and connected in the real nature of the conflict and what's being asked by ordinary people.
01:15:51.000And I wouldn't blame the individuals there on that panel.
01:15:54.000I think that's what happens when power becomes dislocated from the people impacted by it.
01:15:59.000That Tony Benn quote, man, that's so good, ain't it?
01:16:01.000Like, if there's enough money to kill people, there's enough money to save people.
01:16:05.000Will you post it, Lukey on X, if you ain't already?
01:16:58.000The hated and loathed monolith of machismo, Donald Trump, appears to be advancing peace talks much more than his allies and potential and supposed allies and acolytes in Europe, the Polish ambassador, or Kiev Starmer, who seem dead set.
01:17:18.000So, even if you find Trump vulgar, unappealing, even appalling, you have to recognise that the art of the deal when it comes to reducing military budgets between China, Russia and the United States seems like a deal that would facilitate further peace.
01:17:33.000And as we stand on the precipice of a new world that could turn into some sort of ethno-nationalist nightmare, but hey, that's only because we were offered a globalist, imperialist, bureaucratic Kafkaesque I'm told that it was to help people.
01:17:47.000We surely should be, above all else, ensuring peace.
01:17:53.000Peace between the world's most powerful nations and hopefully between all of the world's peoples.
01:17:57.000And maybe, just maybe, that art of the deal brokering loathed despot.
01:19:19.000And in the end, it wasn't enough because firstly, I wanted a community around me.
01:19:22.000But also, I realized I was just doing what I'd done before and trying to do it myself.
01:19:27.000I was trying to make up my own Christianity and say, oh, well, I'm a Christian now, so I can read the Bible and decide what it all is.
01:19:33.000And that's the reason there are 10,000 Protestant churches in America alone, for example, because people are inventing their own version of the Bible.
01:19:41.000And the problem is, if you don't have an authority, if you don't have a container, if you don't have the church to say to you, well, this is what this means, and this is what our understanding of this is, then you don't have anything.
01:19:51.000And then I thought to myself after a while, I thought, you know, it's really arrogant of me to imagine that I can do this on my own.
01:19:58.000Because what you've got with the church is a 2,000-year institution full of saints and martyrs and theologians and people who've had mystical visions and people who have studied scripture for a long time.
01:20:10.000And who am I to say, well, I don't need to listen to you.
01:20:17.000Hill Kingsnorth is a brilliant intellectual.
01:20:19.000You'll love that whole episode, but if you become a member of Rumble Premium, you don't get only that conversation, but the conversation with Tucker Carlson and Wes Huff, you get intelligent conversations on Christianity, and that's what we need.
