00:03:31.000 while politics might be becoming more and more like wrestling.

00:03:35.000 Trump's always had one hand inside the ring.

00:03:38.000 I mean like wrestling ring, not like an a-hole or something. 0.99

00:03:41.000 Donald Trump may have to get his hands dirty himself.

00:03:43.000 I told him.

00:03:44.000 He may have to process it to get his mouth here.

00:03:46.000 Hey, look at this!

00:03:48.000 Oh, no, Trump!

00:03:50.000 Donald Trump!

00:04:04.000 Donald I think that's real.

00:04:09.000 Is it real?

00:04:10.000 Do you think it's real?

00:04:10.000 Okay. Well,

00:04:41.000 you know, he's made a noble effort there to fulfill his duty as a participant in a public event.

00:04:50.000 The main news today on our show is that Elon Musk's time in government appears to be wrapping up.

00:04:56.000 Let me know in the comments and chat if you think that's a result of the success of the Tesla protests.

00:05:00.000 And let me know if you think that Tesla protesters should receive the same Treatment as January 6 protesters around the world now there continue to be natural disasters and indicated that uh Indicators that our almighty creator is infuriated with us.

00:05:15.000 For example, there's this earthquake in Myanmar Let's have a look at this novel solution to the family and a demonstration of a novel solution to the problem And a demonstration that heroism still very much thrives in Christ This is the moment a heroic father

00:05:45.000 jumped across a gap 600 feet in the air to get to his wife and child as an earthquake tore their apartment block apart.

00:05:54.000 The heroic dad, Kwan Yung Joon, made the Hollywood-style leap as the walkway connecting his block to a neighboring high-rise collapsed in Bangkok, Thailand, due to the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit the country.

00:06:07.000 Bloody hell!

00:06:08.000 Hanging by a fragile thread.

00:06:10.000 I've been learning a lot about St. Francis of Assisi and apparently St. Francis of Assisi saw the world as if it were hanging upside down.

00:06:18.000 The word dependent in Latin means hung upon If you consider everything not to be pulled to the earth by gravity, but suspended temporally, you can feel a new fragility in reality.

00:06:32.000 Wherever you're watching this, YouTube X, ultimately make your way to Rumble or get Rumble Premium.

00:06:38.000 It really helps us when you support us there.

00:06:40.000 Over the course of today's show, we're going to be looking at a variety of stories, including the now potentially depying Elon Musk's Ukraine row with Mark Kelly.

00:06:51.000 And some of the extraordinary deception that continues around Ukraine.

00:06:54.000 We're also going to be looking at Bill Maher and Trump's interview, brokered brilliantly by Kid Rock, soon to be friend of the show, I'm sure.

00:07:04.000 I also wanted to, before we leave, touch on this Elliot Page story.

00:07:07.000 My husband says men never think like this or act like this.

00:07:09.000 He says this is a woman trying to be a man who's acting like a woman.

00:07:12.000 I agree.

00:07:13.000 Now, one of the conversations that I had with Jordan Peterson some time ago, centred around Elliot Page and gender issues more broadly.

00:07:22.000 Let's have a look at this interview with Elliot Page and see where we stand on it now.

00:07:27.000 Me, personally, I try to turn when in doubt to the example of our Heavenly Father and His living Son, Jesus Christ.

00:07:37.000 And I can't help but think that continually, compassion is the place we must return to.

00:07:41.000 And if ever given the choice between judgment or love, we must always Love.

00:07:46.000 I was told recently, never let truth outrun love.

00:07:50.000 Let me know in the comments and chat where you stand on that.

00:07:52.000 Let's have a look at Elliot Page and who are we to judge anyone?

00:07:55.000 Let's have a look.

00:07:56.000 Goodness, what has brought me the most joy?

00:08:00.000 the most joy.

00:08:02.000 Okay.

00:08:08.000 It's the little, it's, you know, Getting out of the shower and the towels around your waist and you're looking at yourself in the mirror and you're just like, there I am.

00:08:18.000 I'm not having all these little moments that used to be just being in a t-shirt.

00:08:32.000 It's being able to touch my chest and I think when you see Elliot Page it's difficult not to...

00:08:55.000 Return continually to compassion and love as the Baromah and Fred that we have to continually hold when negotiating and navigating social issues.

00:09:06.000 And however Elliot Page's choices and decisions have been used and deployed by the culture, me, my perspective and my duty as a follower of Jesus is to be continually loving with recourse only to judgment and discernment when required.

00:09:20.000 And I don't see that anything's required here other than love.

00:09:23.000 But that's just what I think.

00:09:24.000 Why don't you let me know what you think?

00:09:25.000 Now, to the ever simple and easy to navigate territory of Kanye West.

00:09:30.000 I often wonder, what will Kanye call his next record?

00:09:34.000 Kanye seems to be in pretty good shape lately, dressing up in leather Klansman's outfitters.

00:09:38.000 Okay, okay, I mean...

00:09:55.000 I love it.

00:09:56.000 I love it.

00:09:57.000 And, you know, no bad ideas in a brainstorm, Kanye.

00:10:00.000 No bad ideas in a brainstorm.

00:10:03.000 Blue sky thinking.

00:10:05.000 And could we call it maybe blue sky thinking? 1.00

00:10:07.000 No, man, I'm thinking white rape or n-word cuck. 0.99

00:10:11.000 Those are very evocative titles, Kanye, certainly. 0.99

00:10:14.000 And I could see it doing well.

00:10:16.000 But I do have some concerns.

00:10:20.000 I have some concerns, Kanye.

00:10:22.000 Gotta love him.

00:10:23.000 Lord alone love Kanye West.

00:10:25.000 Kanye West is pushing boundaries, baby.

00:10:27.000 He's pushing them.

00:10:29.000 Later on in the show, we're going to be looking at increasing Ukraine tensions and Elon Musk's ongoing Let me know in the comments and chat whether you think it's the Tesla protest or some of the political positions that he's taken that are leading to his departure.

00:10:44.000 Was it always a temporary arrangement?

00:10:46.000 Let me know in the comments and chat.

00:10:48.000 Later on in the show, we're going to be hearing from the members of the Stay Free team as we talk about the week's news.

00:10:55.000 Now though, have you seen this terrifying image of Christianity that has been made by AI? 0.66

00:11:02.000 Have you seen this, Isaac?

00:11:04.000 You're a Jewish man, you should be interested to know.

00:11:05.000 Bible, and particularly the early part of the Bible.

00:11:08.000 Have you seen this yet?

00:11:09.000 Have you seen it?

00:11:10.000 Have not.

00:11:10.000 You've not seen it.

00:11:11.000 That's why.

00:11:12.000 Still, don't worry.

00:11:14.000 I'll keep you safe.

00:11:15.000 I'm not going to let him anywhere near you.

00:11:17.000 I will not...

00:11:18.000 Let him anywhere near.

00:11:19.000 If this goes missing, Isaac, you're the first person I'm going to turn to.

00:11:23.000 We're going to be talking to the team about a variety of news stories this week.

00:11:26.000 Did you see our stuff yesterday about Adolescence?

00:11:29.000 Man, I was enjoying chatting about that.

00:11:31.000 I talked about it primarily on Premium, but you can still see that content cut elsewhere on Rumble.

00:11:37.000 We'll be talking to our team, including Massey, who handles all our post-production.

00:11:40.000 Our social media manager, Luke, is that what you like to be called?

00:11:43.000 Our overall executive producer and leader, Jake, who's also known as, what is it they call it?

00:11:47.000 What do they call you?

00:11:48.000 They call me Teemu Russell-Brown.

00:11:50.000 Teemu Russell-Brown because you look like, does that mean like a budget?

00:11:52.000 Yeah, it's like a bargain Russell-Brown.

00:11:54.000 Bargain Russell-Brown.

00:11:56.000 We'll be talking to the whole team over the course of the show, but let's first of all have a look at, oh wow, no, first of all, let's look at this before we leave YouTube or X or any of that.

00:12:06.000 Let's have a look at this story.

00:12:08.000 This is Elon Musk.

00:12:10.000 He's Out, it seems.

00:12:11.000 A couple of months of Elon Musk was more than enough for Trump.

00:12:14.000 Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.

00:12:16.000 Do you think it was caused by the Tesla row?

00:12:19.000 Or do you imagine it was caused by some of his positions on geopolitical matters?

00:12:24.000 And maybe even these comments about Senator Mark Kelly, the traitor comments.

00:12:28.000 Let's have a look at that story now.

00:12:30.000 You have some new reporting about Elon Musk and his White House role.

00:12:34.000 What do we know?

00:12:35.000 Yeah, Kate, over the last several days we've heard from President Trump in the Oval Office on Monday saying that Elon Musk would be going back to the private sector in the near future.

00:12:45.000 Well, we're just hearing from a senior White House official that the president did tell his cabinet back during a meeting on March 24th that Elon Musk, who heads up Doge and of course has become a key figure in this administration, that he would be going back to the private sector.

00:13:02.000 And the White House official tells me that this This would be at the end of his 130 days as a special government employee.

00:13:09.000 Of course, that would be in late March.

00:13:12.000 So of course, Kate, this comes on the heels of that special election in Wisconsin yesterday, where Democrats are seeing that as a win.

00:13:20.000 Elon Musk, of course, spending millions, his PAC spending millions of dollars on that state Supreme Court race, and that his candidate lost significantly in that race.

00:13:30.000 This all comes in that timing.

00:13:31.000 But again, the White House saying that this was in the works.

00:13:37.000 Well, let me know what you thought about that story in the comments and the chat.

00:13:44.000 Remember, we make this content in part because of the support of our partners.

00:13:48.000 Whether you're watching us on YouTube, Globalist Enterprise, or whether you're watching it on X, hey Elon, I love you baby, or our home, Rumble and Rumble Premium, we need the support of our partners.

00:13:57.000 Here's a message from one now.

00:14:03.000 To the next level. 0.99

00:14:04.000 When major advertisers conspired, yeah conspired, to pull their dollary-doos, even brands like Dirty Dunkin' Donuts, which I think of as being a bit like the Dunkin' Donut of that Tesla guy that wiped his hand on his butt. 0.99

00:14:16.000 Remember him? 0.98

00:14:17.000 This guy?

00:14:17.000 Dunkin' Donuts is the donut equivalent of that.

00:14:20.000 The free speech hatin' pigs, claiming that Rumble had a right-wing culture. 0.92

00:14:24.000 How dare they? 0.95

00:14:25.000 I mean, look at just some of these comments.

00:14:27.000 Rumble does not have a right-wing culture.

00:14:30.000 We are doing our very best to include everyone.

00:14:32.000 That's from a Mr. A. Hitler. 0.93

00:14:34.000 Look at this one.

00:14:35.000 Rumble is my favorite site.

00:14:37.000 I love it.

00:14:38.000 I listen to it every night by Firelight.

00:14:41.000 That's from a Mr. Ku Klux Kla- Like, how can anyone have a problem with Rumble, one of the great stations? 1.00

00:14:48.000 We're not here to fit a mould.

00:14:49.000 We're here to defend free expression.

00:14:52.000 That is the milk of free speech coming out of the tit.

00:14:55.000 Or just a tit, really.

00:15:00.000 Hey! I'm him!

00:15:08.000 Doctor Disrespect! 1.00

00:15:09.000 That's my actual doctor.

00:15:36.000 Now, what happens when the most advanced AI mind tackles Holy Scripture?

00:15:41.000 I think it gives us some pretty interesting insights into the holiest of books.

00:15:46.000 Have you seen this interpretation of the Bible?

00:15:50.000 By the way, out of our team, who here is a Christian?

00:15:53.000 What's everyone's Jewish background before we proceed?

00:15:55.000 I'm of course, I don't know if I've mentioned it, I'm a Christian, nearly been a Christian for a year.

00:15:58.000 You, Jake?

00:15:59.000 Yep, Christian.

00:16:01.000 Isaac, could you just say your full name?

00:16:04.000 Isaac Levi.

00:16:06.000 Keep going.

00:16:07.000 What about the middle ones?

00:16:09.000 Noah. And any more?

00:16:11.000 No, that's it.

00:16:12.000 Isaac, Levi, Noah, and the last...

00:16:16.000 Right, and you don't want to say your surname because in case anti-Semites are watching this...

00:16:18.000 No, my surname is Levi.

00:16:20.000 Right. That's the priest class, eh?

00:16:22.000 Leviticus, like that book, yep.

00:16:24.000 Read it!

00:16:24.000 Read the whole book!

00:16:25.000 Gets better, second...

00:16:26.000 I've read the Bible, second part's better, I would say. 0.65

00:16:28.000 First bit.

00:16:29.000 They're strict!

00:16:30.000 People not really listening, were they?

00:16:32.000 Not listening.

00:16:33.000 But that's just my version of the Bible.

00:16:36.000 You'll be meeting the rest of our team coming up.

00:16:38.000 Luke, who handles our social media.

00:16:41.000 In fact, some of the more controversial moments are directly his fault, I would say.

00:16:44.000 And Massey, who ensures that what goes out is worthy of being watched.

00:16:49.000 He's our head of post-production.

00:16:50.000 But first, let's have a look at this AI-generated piece of scripture.

00:16:53.000 Let's go.

00:17:14.000 I never thought a serpent as having ears before that makes the serpent a bit worse.

00:17:19.000 I think those is Yeah, the Lord in the garden that's what I like to see in the beginning was the word yeah, let's go gospel John on that Tower of Babel, that was a bad idea.

00:17:40.000 Another time they weren't listening.

00:17:41.000 They won't listen all day that lot.

00:17:43.000 I'm really interested to talk about the pyramid story a little bit later as well.

00:17:47.000 Have you seen that stuff that the pyramids were generated?

00:17:49.000 Are those of you that followed like Graham Hancock and was that other guy called Randall Carlson?

00:17:54.000 Are we familiar with these kind of ideas that the pyramids might have been generators?

00:17:58.000 I'm fascinated by that.

00:17:59.000 We're going to be talking about that a little later as well as talking about the potential for reconciliation across the culture.

00:18:05.000 get back to this bible in ai though so

00:18:31.000 so It looks amazing, doesn't it?

00:18:40.000 It looks, like, pretty good.

00:18:42.000 Massie, you're generally speaking, what are you, an atheist, a secularist, an agnostic, a mystic, a shaman, a Muslim?

00:18:49.000 I mean, what do you make of it?

00:18:52.000 I'm atheist, but I was christened, but this is enough to make me get confirmed.

00:18:57.000 This is pretty badass.

00:18:58.000 I like it.

00:18:58.000 Yeah, it's pretty good, isn't it?

00:18:59.000 Because I think over the course, while we're all working together, I feel like the Christian members of the team, we're quite expansionist, like, and we're sort of working, I do quite a lot of work on Isaac, I'm always trying to get Isaac to essentially renounce his Judaism, far from listening to his AIPAC claptrap, I'm actually trying to Get him on board as a Christian. 0.86

00:19:20.000 Luke, I think, well, most of the team's been Christian longer than me.

00:19:23.000 Do you think that we should tacitly make it part of our shared community goal to get Massey and Isaac in particular to come to the Lord?

00:19:32.000 Oh, that is my only goal.

00:19:33.000 That's the only thing I think about every day when I come into work here, for sure.

00:19:37.000 Sometimes you do seem distracted, like, because I sometimes see some of the stuff you're putting on X and I'm thinking, this guy's just thinking about converting Massey, otherwise he wouldn't be making these controversial statements.

00:19:46.000 Let's have a little bit more of a look at the script chat illustrated by the mind of AI.

00:19:50.000 We've got so much more to discuss.

00:19:51.000 We're looking at the Egyptian pyramids.

00:19:53.000 We're going to be looking at the potential conciliation that could be achieved by Bill Maher and Trump and so much more.

00:20:33.000 right back.

00:20:42.000 I mean, that's going to be a serious tool for conversion, isn't it?

00:20:46.000 If you're watching us on X or YouTube or anywhere other than Rumble, then please click the link in the description and join us on Rumble.

00:20:54.000 On Rumble Premium, me and the team are going to be talking about some of the best and brightest and biggest stories from this week.

00:20:59.000 Why is Nick there?

00:21:00.000 Is that an anti-semitic claim?

00:21:03.000 We'll be talking a little more about Kanye.

00:21:05.000 I'll be watching the trailer for The Chosen.

00:21:08.000 Let me know in the comments and chat if you've seen it yet.

00:21:11.000 Thanks very much Mug Club, Bongino, Army Pool for the raid. 0.76

00:21:14.000 We'll be throwing to a quarter in at the end of our section.

00:21:17.000 But we've got so much more to talk about on the precipice of a new era with Elon Musk potentially leaving government.

00:21:25.000 Click the link in the description.

00:21:26.000 Join us over on Rumble.

00:21:29.000 Let's have a quick look at this story, actually, about Nick Fuentes, who's got an interesting theory about the origin of vampires.

00:21:35.000 Let's get into it.

00:21:36.000 Think about all the tropes about vampires.

00:21:38.000 They're afraid of crosses.

00:21:41.000 They're from Eastern Europe.

00:21:44.000 They're very pale. 1.00

00:21:45.000 They suck blood. 1.00

00:21:47.000 You know, they drink blood.

00:21:48.000 So the myth of the vampire does come from Ashkenazi Jews and any way that the rituals they used to perform, which is historically accurate. 1.00

00:22:01.000 Isaac? What have you got to say about that?

00:22:03.000 Nah, he's crazy, man. 0.99

00:22:05.000 Ashkenazi Jews, okay. 0.99

00:22:07.000 Well, I once had one of those gene tests done where you get all your chromosomes looked at.

00:22:11.000 Have you ever had that done?

00:22:12.000 The type of Jew I got in me is...

00:22:15.000 They told me I had some of that one.

00:22:17.000 Aren't they the cleverest ones?

00:22:20.000 Well, I'm Sephardic.

00:22:21.000 So I'm Middle Eastern Jew.

00:22:22.000 Well, both, but mainly Ashken- uh, Sephardic, yeah. 0.96

00:22:26.000 All right, and so what's the- well, I don't mean to sound anti-Semitic, but what's- what's the difference, and why are you in charge of Hollywood?

00:22:36.000 So the- the difference mainly is that Ashkenazi Jews, after basically exile from Israel and everything, those are the Jews that ended up in the diaspora in, like, the European area, and the Sephardic and Mizrahi are, like, more, like,

00:22:48.000 in the We're good to go!

00:23:14.000 Yeah, I think there's a couple of things.

00:23:35.000 You have somebody who's had such a great career.

00:23:38.000 And but we're all still open to sickness and hardship.

00:23:43.000 You know, even at different times, you've had so much fame.

00:23:47.000 I think about that aspect of them and then you're just you're gone and people do a little.

00:23:52.000 Memory of you we talked about it on a show.

00:23:55.000 Yeah, and then you know, that's kind of it So what kind of legacy is lasting then?

00:23:59.000 I want to hear like your thoughts on Hollywood Because one part that was interesting for me is like when you first see Val Kilmer on some maybe like Top Gun or Batman You don't realize how serious of an actor he was if that's all you saw, right? 0.93

00:24:13.000 Yeah, he was well into apparently look one of the things I know is a Hollywood insider people said the Val Kilmer was a Pain in the arse.

00:24:20.000 Which he's had stuff like that so you think about man maybe maybe some other people have gotten bad raps that aren't that maybe he is actually that.

00:24:27.000 Yeah all right let's have a look let's have a look at this uh tribute um later we're going to be talking a little bit about the potential for reconciliation in Hollywood Bill Maher and Trump we're going to be talking about the pyramids What's going on with that?

00:24:38.000 Did you see that story?

00:24:38.000 They're sort of generators.

00:24:40.000 It's like a Randall Carlton and Graham Hancock type story.

00:24:43.000 We'll be looking at that together.

00:24:45.000 And also Isaac's going to reveal just how deep the tendrils of Judaism go into the Hollywood industry and what's happened to irritate poor Kanye West so badly. 0.82

00:24:55.000 Firstly, there's this tribute to Val Kilmer.

00:24:57.000 Hollywood stars have paid tribute to Val Kilmer, who has died at age 65.

00:25:02.000 The versatile actor played flying ace Iceman opposite Toad.

00:25:06.000 Tom Cruise in Top Gun and Batman in Batman Forever.

00:25:13.000 He was also acclaimed for his portrayal of singer Jim Morrison in the biopic The Doors.

00:25:18.000 Kilmer's daughter says he died Tuesday in Los Angeles from pneumonia.

00:25:22.000 He'd been diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014.

00:25:26.000 Kilmer was born in Los Angeles and studied acting at the elite Juilliard School.

00:25:31.000 He had his big break in the 1985 spy spoof Top Secret.

00:25:35.000 Kilmer was sometimes regarded as a difficult presence on film sets, but said in his memoir that he always put the art first.

00:25:43.000 Actors Josh Brolin, Matthew Modine and Josh Gad paid tribute to Kilmer on social media, along with filmmakers Francis Ford Coppola and Michael Mann.

00:25:52.000 Brolin called him a smart, challenging, brave, uber-creative firecracker, while Francis Ford Coppola described him as a wonderful person to work with and a joy to know.

00:26:03.000 Kilmer dated Cher and married and divorced actor Joanne Wally.

00:26:08.000 He survived by their two children, Mercedes and Jack.

00:26:15.000 In the end, you're sort of struck by the normalness.

00:26:19.000 It's just a man, his children.

00:26:21.000 Living and all of that the gossip and the excitement and sort of the hysteria or whether you want to regard in positively or negatively It kind of just melts away.

00:26:30.000 Is that what you feel about it?

00:26:31.000 Humanity of it.

00:26:32.000 I mean, we're all at some point you're gonna have to be faced with death sickness weakness even at the height if you've accomplished all these great things in your life, you're still gonna have to deal with something that Connects our humanity Which is, we can't live forever.

00:26:50.000 Yeah, it's like, in a way, I'm starting to feel like this is a post-celebrity moment.

00:26:54.000 Let me know what you think about this in the comments and chat.

00:26:55.000 People increasingly see the culture as redundant and irrelevant, like when the Oscars was on recently.

00:27:01.000 I feel like, what is this for?

00:27:03.000 In fact, for me, it really started during the pandemic period when they I don't Criminal or nefarious,

00:27:30.000 but just one of those people that was a bit of a big shot here We all are now and I feel like the culture is kind of exhausted with it like, you know We've stuff that I don't have that, you know, I feel like that's where we are Yeah, because if it doesn't have depth you're realizing that people it's just these these false Celebrities, you know, it's not it.

00:27:48.000 They don't even have the the work ethic that it's taken for a Val Kilmer to become a I mean, all of his education, his passion for...

00:27:58.000 Because I think about even you, people might have only known you from your movies early on that were kind of silly and playful, but they don't know that you are a...

00:28:09.000 Well, they would know that if they had focused on the film, Jake, because it was evident in every single scene and every single moment, whether I was stroking a furry wool or voicing Dr. Nefario.

00:28:18.000 One thing was clear.

00:28:18.000 This is a man who's had a great deal of training.

00:28:22.000 Certainly, I'm enjoying this incarnation a lot more as a follower of Jesus Christ and as a refugee from the culture and an apostate against it, because I see that culture primarily in the terms offered to us by Terence McKenna. 0.69

00:28:35.000 The culture is not not One 0.97

00:29:06.000 of the biggest and most important things in our country is the people that actually build the country and ensure that everything operates the way that it needs to operate.

00:29:14.000 And currently speaking, that population is declining quite significantly because of the stigma that you need to have a college degree puts on people.

00:29:22.000 So people usually will go into college, either fail out or, you know, get something useless.

00:29:28.000 And then, you know, the people that actually need to build our country are Kind of.

00:29:32.000 Nowhere to be found.

00:29:33.000 We'll be talking about who actually built the country, as well as who actually built the pyramids.

00:29:37.000 And while the Jewish slaves may be taking credit for that, as they do for so much in history, it seems that there may be more to the story of the pyramids than meets the eye.

00:29:47.000 Massie, how come you wanted us to look at this pyramid stuff, mate?

00:29:51.000 Well, I don't know why Gareth didn't bring...

00:29:53.000 I've been waiting two weeks for Gareth to bring it up, and he hasn't.

00:29:56.000 Like, what could be more important than the pyramids?

00:29:57.000 This is the greatest...

00:29:58.000 This is Indiana Jones stuff.

00:30:00.000 Actual real-life Indiana Jones story.

00:30:03.000 I saw this clip myself and it was talking about the fact that the pyramids may be kind of the outward expression of deep chambers that are converting and maybe even generating energy and I like the idea that prehistory may be loaded with narratives and people that even if you watch that AI scripture thing, giants, angels, demons, dragons, Nephilim, weird cities full of demonic practices, seems to me like somewhere between Genesis and the end of Yeah.

00:30:33.000 for there to have been lost civilizations.

00:30:35.000 And the idea that who controls history controls the narrative remains a fascinating one.

00:30:39.000 And Egypt, I've seen a bunch of stuff online this week as well about memes about hieroglyphs, which are, I suppose, early memes themselves.

00:30:48.000 Looking at those weird acorn pinecone images and weird hand positions that are cropping up thousands of years apart.

00:30:56.000 So it seems like there may be, and I'll use this word deliberately, submerged, Submerged narratives, pre-Diluvian or anti-Diluvian narratives about humankind and human species prior to the floods.

00:31:07.000 Our man Hancock always talks about the Yunga Dryas event, some cataclysm that happened and potentially we lost civilizations for it.

00:31:15.000 Let's have a look, shall we, at this pyramid video.

00:31:18.000 this pyramid video together and have a look at what the indications and implications of it are.

00:31:23.000 Turning to a story that is making headlines around the world, an unprecedented, albeit controversial, new discovery is shedding light on a mystery that dates back millennia, many millennia.

00:31:34.000 Italian and Scottish researchers, mainly from the University of Pisa, conducted advanced high-frequency radar mapping under Egypt's famous pyramids.

00:31:44.000 They claim to have discovered wells, caverns, and shafts that are more than 2,000 feet underground.

00:31:50.000 If accurate, it changes the face of history as we know it.

00:31:54.000 Here to talk more about it is Dr.

00:31:57.000 Galit Ben-Tobol, an Egyptologist and author of the book, The Messiah Code.

00:32:03.000 Hi, Galit.

00:32:05.000 They sent some pictures coming from the satellite from space, looking at the surface underground the main pyramid of Giza, the pyramid of the king, the pharaoh Khufu.

00:32:16.000 Now, we know back till now that this pyramid was dated to 2600 BC, and what the archaeologists wanted to discover is we have something beneath the soil, beneath the ground of this pyramid.

00:32:32.000 So with a technology that I cannot explain because I'm not specializing in this.

00:32:36.000 This is an Israeli news channel.

00:32:38.000 It's being pointed out to me right now.

00:32:40.000 Stay with us.

00:32:41.000 The main story today about Elon Musk potentially leaving government in the next few months.

00:32:47.000 We're also going to be looking at potential reconciliation between the cultural fissures and strands.

00:32:52.000 But my personal belief is them stories about superficial cultural matters, even if they're political ones, are less important than something like this.

00:32:59.000 The idea that using modern technology We're discovering literal subterranean tales about potential advanced technology because that in itself was a peripheral narrative.

00:33:09.000 The idea that the hieroglyphs and the pyramids themselves alluded to and pointed to advanced civilizations about whom we know little and perhaps we've forgotten much.

00:33:19.000 The idea that our interface with sublime, divine, extraterrestrial and even divine entities is an ongoing and significant aspect of our human story.

00:33:29.000 Let's watch the rest of this Israeli propaganda, if we can trust them to tell us the truth. 0.99

00:33:33.000 Specializing in this kind of technology, they managed to get some data from the infrastructure that is beneath the soil, beneath the ground.

00:33:40.000 And what they discover is if you want spiral hallways, I don't know how many of them, but that could lead maybe to a hypothesis, a thesis that maybe we have there in ancient technology.

00:33:55.000 Wow. Well, people have said this for years, that the Egyptians, you know, knew something.

00:34:00.000 I mean, we know that the pyramids are said to be going, aiming toward the Orion Belt, so, you know, We know that they had things that predated modern man.

00:34:10.000 So with that, how do they explain it?

00:34:12.000 Because they've made AI, they've made renderings, and you're seeing cylinders in Q. It looks like a battery or a generator or some kind of solar energy.

00:34:20.000 It looks like an ancient generator.

00:34:21.000 But we have to say that they reconstructed from the data they collected from the photographs that they had from the satellite from space.

00:34:29.000 So the reconstruction with a 3D model with AI and all the newest technology that we have, it doesn't mean that But this is exactly what they saw.

00:34:38.000 It means that the AI, the intelligence, reconstructed what they think they saw beneath the soil.

00:34:45.000 But I have to say that the pyramid and the mystery of the pyramid, why they were built, some scholars will say that they were meant to be for tombs, the tombs of the first pharaohs, but many years, I think for the last years, people are starting to doubt that.

00:35:02.000 Whether it was really the purpose of the tomb, or maybe the tomb was maybe a secondary use, or maybe not at all.

00:35:11.000 And why is that?

00:35:12.000 Also because the pyramids themselves, not only because they were pointed to the stars, but they were covered, especially the top part of the pyramid was covered with gold.

00:35:21.000 Really? So when we think about the solar energy of today, how we are using the solar energy, You know, to heat and to do many things, you know, it's a whole energy.

00:35:34.000 So maybe the ancient Egyptians used the same energy.

00:35:39.000 Now, if we are willing to think that the ancient civilizations were not so primitive, And maybe they knew things that we also are discovering them today.

00:35:53.000 And maybe the history is not a linear history, but goes more in how we call it spiral history.

00:36:00.000 So maybe this ancient civilization, whether it was the ancient Egyptian or even a prior civilization to the ancient Egyptian, used the solar energy or a different kind of energy that we are not aware of it today.

00:36:14.000 We have to open this question.

00:36:17.000 Right. All right, we have 20 seconds.

00:36:19.000 Say it quickly because the meaning of the word pyramid.

00:36:22.000 Okay, the meaning of the word pyramid in ancient Egyptian means the pillar.

00:36:27.000 Wow. If it's the pillar, when we see the shape of a pyramid, we don't see a pillar.

00:36:33.000 We see a shape of a pyramid.

00:36:34.000 So where is the pillar?

00:36:36.000 So if it was for technology, maybe it was a kind of, if you want, a pillar of light, a pillar of fire, and maybe this is the pillar of fire from the story of Exodus.

00:36:47.000 Wow. Okay, that'll be saved for another day.

00:36:50.000 How I was going to explain the story of Exodus.

00:36:52.000 Save it for next time.

00:36:53.000 Thank you very much.

00:36:54.000 I feel in general, the cynicism, I think Yeah,

00:37:32.000 And do you think that there's a point where if you were to explore this story, you have to start encountering mystery or at least power that's so awesome that it amounts to a kind of supernatural power?

00:37:46.000 I mean, that's like, it's wonder itself, isn't it?

00:37:48.000 Seeing something like this.

00:37:49.000 Like, we have, everything's been explained to us now, and finally we've got something which is We thought we'd explained, and now we've got this mad stuff going on underground.

00:37:57.000 So yeah, that awe is what draws me to it.

00:37:59.000 But who knows?

00:38:01.000 I don't know what they are.

00:38:02.000 I wonder what you guys think they are.

00:38:03.000 What does everyone think?

00:38:05.000 Because they're saying it's a possible power station.

00:38:08.000 Because to me, they just look like springs underneath the pyramid.

00:38:11.000 When people say that it's potentially a power station, even that is an attempt, I think, to tether it in something manageable that we can appreciate and understand.

00:38:19.000 Because when I think that 90% of the known universe is dark matter and dark energy, it means that we're operating within such a limited purview of our understanding of reality that...

00:38:32.000 All of our speculation is bounded on either side by limits that mean we can't even start to contemplate what the true nature of reality might be.

00:38:41.000 And even when you look at something like this, where something as familiar and as ancient as the pyramids is reviewed and we're forced to bring to bear on our former understanding the possibility that it has other aspects to it, we immediately try to frame it as,

00:38:56.000 um, there must be a rational reason, it must be like giant batteries, oh, there must be storehouses, This is Yeah,

00:39:35.000 I mean, I think if you have real power under there, if there is some sort of technology, somebody would want to control it and keep it to themselves.

00:39:43.000 Ultimately, it's all about control.

00:39:45.000 Power is hidden.

00:39:47.000 Who has all the power?

00:39:48.000 And so ultimately, I think as Christians, we want to surrender it all.

00:39:52.000 We're saying, we don't want it.

00:39:53.000 We want to give it all to the only one who can do the best things with it, and we want to surrender our lives to Jesus.

00:40:00.000 It's like Christianity, just surrender, surrender, surrender, but everything in the world's saying, I want to know more, I want to control it, and power is ultimately trying to control things.

00:40:09.000 Yeah, and part of that control, I think, is contingent on stripping away the mystery and stripping away the potential for authority that goes beyond the human.

00:40:19.000 If all that there really is is different types of human authority based on rational discernment, then power goes to those that can dominate, because there is no supreme power.

00:40:31.000 And it just seems so interesting to me that the defining principle of Christianity is maximum power, the power of God, is used in sacrifice to the weakest and most vulnerable.

00:40:41.000 That's sort of the I don't know.

00:40:43.000 For me, my own Christianity is not rational.

00:40:47.000 It's sort of a felt inward overwhelm meeting with a kind of extraordinary experience.

00:40:53.000 I'm undermining it by keep holding him up.

00:40:56.000 I'm going to place him down here.

00:40:57.000 Just keep an eye on Isaac, Jake.

00:40:58.000 He's all I ask.

00:40:59.000 So it's just extraordinary for me.

00:41:01.000 Luke, you've been Christian for a long time.

00:41:03.000 Do you feel like we're in some period of revision with cultural artifacts like The Chosen coming out, with people being more and more open to the idea of mystery?

00:41:42.000 Yeah, it's funny that you guys say what you're saying right now, because it reminds me of Hebrews 11 1, which is a verse that I memorized recently, which is, faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not yet seen.

00:41:54.000 And so when I see things like this pyramid story or any of the crazy stuff going on in the world right now, I'm immediately reminded of the fact that that's the beauty of faith, is that I don't have to know everything, and Why would I need to trust God if I knew everything?

00:42:10.000 I don't know everything, and that's the beauty of having him, is that I can rely on him and know that even though I don't understand what this is, it's really confusing, I can trust that he's got it taken care of, and the word says that he's coming back quickly, and that is what I can rejoice in as a Christian.

00:42:25.000 So that's where my head goes with that.

00:42:27.000 Yeah, and I like that sort of the book of Hebrews in a general way seems like an attempt to provide cartilage for new believers back to the Thank you. 0.98

00:42:37.000 of breaking out of what restrictions the Old Testament put in place while still not feeling like a heretic, that we are dealing with an ongoing covenant with God that's being adjusted and adapted in the present with us.

00:42:50.000 And when you're dealing with something as mysterious as consciousness, Consciousness itself.

00:42:54.000 Like, you know when you look at something like the Garden of Eden and you think, it can't be that, it's too childish, like just one man and a woman in a garden getting tempted by a snake.

00:43:02.000 You do realise at some point the art, what Is the origin of humankind.

00:43:07.000 What happened?

00:43:08.000 You know that, because when you even just like as a little kid contemplate your own navel literally and where your navel leads through the navel of your parents and their parents and their parents and their parents to presumably some single ancestor you recognize the limitations of biology and anthropology and sociology and everything really that in the end we are tethered to a mystery you are regarding a mystery from a position of the mysterious and in the end that's all that's available to me is And so much of our show that we talk about is fractions in politics,

00:43:39.000 mudslinging, the Dems hating on the Republicans, the Republicans hating on the Dems, the Christians hating on Jews, everyone hating on Muslims.

00:43:46.000 And you feel like, well really man, at some point or another we're going to have to mark out at least a different kind of territory, otherwise we're participating in this swirl of senseless rationalism and negativity. 0.94

00:44:00.000 I'm looking over there at that part of the room, but I'm not assuming that any of you are.

00:44:04.000 I'm not trying to blame anybody for this.

00:44:06.000 So you guys aren't interested, Luke, in what they are then, under that?

00:44:10.000 Oh, I'm definitely interested.

00:44:11.000 I mean, I would love to know what it is. 0.82

00:44:13.000 Sadly, the first thing that came to my mind as we're playing this video is, If this was 30 years ago and I was seeing something like this, I probably would get in bed and not be able to go to sleep, but because I'm so desensitized to the dopamine of social media, I'm like, damn, that's crazy.

00:44:26.000 Anyway, on to the next thing.

00:44:27.000 Like, that's literally what my brain thinks.

00:44:29.000 But no, I absolutely would want to know what it is, for sure.

00:44:32.000 You're not allowed to dig around the pyramids, so you're not allowed to climb the pyramids, graham hancock's climbed them a few times but yeah you're not allowed to dig around the pyramids at all so we probably won't ever know unless trump signs an executive order to take the pyramids and get down there for america that's what he needs to do make these pyramids american again yeah like if

00:44:52.000 you're gonna have greenland the panama canal just have them pyramids take them have the alps the pyramids it is interesting because of course that like no digging thing that would be practically um defined wouldn't it there is oh you can't dig because you can't mess with it because it's a world heritage site it's a massive mirror like same with something like stonehenge in our country and

00:45:13.000 Make sure you tune in next week.

00:45:24.000 it's like weird literally weird I suppose connected in invisible ways that's what that Anglo-Saxon word means But whenever there is something that's beyond our understanding, we race to fill in that gap.

00:45:34.000 And I like your point as well, Luke, that now, like, you know, like, I sometimes think, wow, X is still happening when I'm not looking at it.

00:45:41.000 And, like, there's just that continual stream of, like, Kanye West is releasing an album called White Rape and N-Word Cock.

00:45:48.000 Elon Musk is leaving.

00:45:50.000 Donald Trump said this.

00:45:51.000 Kid Rock's in the White Album.

00:45:52.000 It's just, oh, my God, I can't take it anymore.

00:45:54.000 Give me something.

00:45:55.000 Give me some relationship of eternity, just so I can relax for a second, man.

00:45:59.000 can't bloody can't take it anymore all right guys we have a little uh should i play a bit more what do you think we should do now do you want to look at a bit of trailer see of five uh for season five excuse me for the chosen do you want to uh yield the floor to isaac talking about the decline of labor force do you want to continue with this pyramids thing or do we just simply want to look at justin bieber for his Presumably being on drugs.

00:46:22.000 I've got to reach out to you, Justin, man.

00:46:25.000 It seems to me that he might be on actual drugs.

00:46:28.000 Has anyone got a strong view?

00:46:29.000 You're going to be surprised.

00:46:31.000 What's that?

00:46:31.000 Do The Chosen.

00:46:33.000 The Chosen?

00:46:34.000 Yeah. You want to look at The Chosen?

00:46:36.000 Massie, Luke, have you got any strong views on where we go now?

00:46:39.000 We've got quite a lot coming up.

00:46:40.000 We've still got to look at Bill Maher and Trump's reconciliatory moment.

00:46:45.000 We've already had a little look at Ukraine.

00:46:47.000 I can talk about the Dojo all day long.

00:46:50.000 And Elon Musk's departure from government.

00:46:52.000 Any strong views over there, guys?

00:46:54.000 I want to see some Justin Bieber.

00:46:56.000 I think we've done enough Bible.

00:46:57.000 Yeah, come on! 0.93

00:46:59.000 Atheists, it's not nice. 1.00

00:47:01.000 It's not nice to see that kind of faithlessness between them.

00:47:03.000 See, we've got a really well-balanced team.

00:47:05.000 You might look on the surface and think, that's just white men.

00:47:08.000 Oh no, there's variety, there's diversity. 0.87

00:47:11.000 We've got mostly good, honest, grounded Christians, but then a very, very untrustworthy Jew and atheist. 1.00

00:47:19.000 Sort of making a real mark in this production.

00:47:22.000 Let's have a look at Justin Bieber, who Luke says may be experiencing some pharmacological phenomena.

00:47:31.000 *music*

00:47:41.000 Yeah, I would say Justin Bieber might be on drugs based on his relationship with that carpet and the sounds in the background. 1.00

00:47:49.000 Justin, he's a follower of our Lord, isn't he Luke?

00:47:53.000 He is, yeah.

00:47:54.000 He is a believer.

00:47:55.000 He still talks about Jesus regularly on social media and I just saw this over the last week.

00:48:00.000 I've been seeing these clips kind of going around and it's sad because he's clearly going through a lot emotionally and he's been in that scene for a long time and I think that you probably could speak to it a little bit just because you yourself have been a part of that scene as well.

00:48:13.000 But yeah, he's clearly going through some stuff right now.

00:48:15.000 I met him at the Grammys when I was with Katy Perry and we were like, oh, let's adopt him.

00:48:20.000 Let's adopt him.

00:48:21.000 And I was like, so I think I posted something on social media.

00:48:23.000 We're keeping this kid and all of his subsidiary rights.

00:48:26.000 Then I realised that actually...

00:48:28.000 Did he?

00:48:28.000 He was probably exploiting him in a much more tangible way.

00:48:33.000 And yeah, he's an interesting phenomena, isn't he?

00:48:34.000 Because it's sort of that you can make a case that he's the first modern celebrity, in some senses, that he was a cult, a social media phenomena before entering into the culture and completely dominating that.

00:48:46.000 And like, look at so many, like so many people who've been through the machinery of celebrity, he ain't looking well now.

00:48:53.000 But like, the other alternative is Val Kilmer like who in a way massive movie star in some regards, but just a journeyman of the entertainment industry still just Spills out at the arse end of life, just with a few accolades and some broken children.

00:49:08.000 I don't mean to say that in a disparaging way about Val Kilmer, just to say that the reverence and worship of celebrity by itself and by its own definition is idolatry.

00:49:16.000 And idolatry always just leads to despair, whether you are the idol yourself or a participant in it.

00:49:23.000 That's what I feel about it.

00:49:24.000 Remember, of course, we can't make this content without the support of our partners.

00:49:28.000 Here is a quick message from one now.

00:49:33.000 No, this is anti-aging coffee infused with CAAKG, a compound so potent it's like it's giving your mitochondria a pep talk.

00:49:42.000 It supports cellular health, it combats aging, it boosts endurance, it gives you an erection that lasts for simply weeks that at some points might be embarrassing and at other points actually illegal.

00:49:52.000 Keeping you sharper, not the erection, that's your mind. 0.99

00:49:55.000 You don't want An angular penis. 1.00

00:49:56.000 No one needs that. 1.00

00:49:58.000 Sharper than a conspiracy theorist at a government press conference.

00:50:01.000 Within this rebellious little bundle, you'll find their top-selling anti-aging coffee, the ultra-rare pea berry blend.

00:50:07.000 It's so exquisite, it makes regular coffee taste like the dregs of an Elon Musk paternity test.

00:50:14.000 You, baby, I gotta get it down ya. 1.00

00:50:16.000 You got to.

00:50:17.000 It's gonna anti-age you to the middle of last week.

00:50:19.000 A sleek 1775 branded tumbler, you get one of those too, and other exclusive treasures.

00:50:25.000 You won't stumble upon elsewhere.

00:50:27.000 Normally this collection would set you back $200-y dues, but in a mood that defies capitalist logic, it's yours for $100.

00:50:33.000 The catch?

00:50:34.000 There's only 1,000 of these packs up.

00:50:37.000 Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Look at that.

00:51:01.000 I call that the golden nipple of justice, baby.

00:51:04.000 Okay, now we are in a fractured and fissured Trump is meeting Bill Maher!

00:51:27.000 Does this mean the culture war is at an end?

00:51:32.000 I always look first and foremost to Kid Rock when it comes to brokering both domestic and international peace.

00:51:38.000 And it is, of course, Kid Rock whose intervention means that Bill Maher and Donald Trump will be meeting.

00:51:43.000 Is that a conversation you're going to watch?

00:51:44.000 Let me know in the comments and the chat.

00:51:47.000 We learned about this when Chris Como and Bill Maher chatted on Bill Maher's podcast, which I've been on once, I think.

00:51:54.000 Anyway, once.

00:51:57.000 I must have seen that movie twice.

00:51:59.000 You know what's great about you, English?

00:52:02.000 Octopussy. Man, I must have seen that movie twice!

00:52:07.000 Yes. Here's a piece of that conversation.

00:52:09.000 It's nice to know that Kid Rock, as well as making accessible hip-hop rock tracks and shooting up Bud Light cans, is able to broker significant interviews too.

00:52:21.000 You're going to meet with the president.

00:52:24.000 I am?

00:52:25.000 So Kid Rock makes it happen.

00:52:28.000 What do you think has been the response so far?

00:52:30.000 What do you think it will be and why are you doing it?

00:52:34.000 Which I'm totally for, by the way, and I love it.

00:52:36.000 I get it.

00:52:36.000 Well, I'm doing it because, first of all, it was presented as...

00:52:42.000 A dare?

00:52:44.000 Not a dare.

00:52:45.000 No, just like, maybe this is a beginning to heal America.

00:52:51.000 Bill Maher there.

00:52:53.000 No, no, not a dare.

00:52:55.000 No, no, it was truth, not dare.

00:53:00.000 Is Bill Maher sort of still in the hock and capture in his L.A. place of the liberal elites who, whilst their power may be broadly eroding, still maintain significant control over media?

00:53:13.000 Because I don't think Chris Comer really thought he was a dare.

00:53:16.000 No, I don't have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America.

00:53:20.000 I bet he does a bit, because otherwise he wouldn't say that.

00:53:23.000 I can't.

00:53:24.000 I can, though.

00:53:25.000 Deep down, I can.

00:53:26.000 Okay, let's get that clear.

00:53:28.000 I can't heal America.

00:53:29.000 There, I've said it.

00:53:31.000 I can't.

00:53:31.000 Clear. I'm not going to be healing America.

00:53:34.000 But if two guys who've been...

00:53:37.000 Chris Cuomo looks pretty buff, don't he, in that chair, all muscular, and Bill Maher looks like he's sort of tumbling into a near-Gollum-like pose and posture in his own equally-sized armchair.

00:53:48.000 I'm gonna go on that podcast again, and I'm gonna dazzle people with my posture.

00:53:52.000 ...

00:53:53.000 at each other for so long.

00:53:56.000 I mean, it's kind of a Nixon to China thing.

00:53:59.000 I have the credential.

00:54:01.000 There was nobody who was harder on Trump.

00:54:04.000 Or more prescient about the fact that he wasn't going to leave office voluntarily than I was.

00:54:12.000 Bill Maher's funny, isn't he?

00:54:14.000 There was no one, just let me scan my memory banks, no one that was harder on Trump and more prescient than, wait for it, drumroll, me.

00:54:25.000 But I can heal America.

00:54:28.000 I feel like I have the credentials.

00:54:30.000 But they also respect me.

00:54:33.000 Because I'm honest about the woke.

00:54:36.000 I'm also the most honest man in America.

00:54:39.000 More honest than anyone else.

00:54:41.000 Trained to crazy town.

00:54:43.000 And I don't shrink from that, and I've also...

00:54:46.000 Don't shrink?

00:54:47.000 I'm not a shrinker.

00:54:48.000 I like Bill Maher.

00:54:48.000 I've been on his show a bunch of times, and he's a really, actually very lovely, sweet person.

00:54:54.000 He's taking himself quite seriously in this conversation, isn't he?

00:54:56.000 Lost a lot of fans.

00:54:58.000 For that.

00:54:59.000 The woke people have left the building, and I'm willing to make that sacrifice.

00:55:03.000 But it does give you a certain credibility. 0.99

00:55:06.000 I'm glad Chris Cuomo shat his legs a bit. 0.98

00:55:08.000 So, I just think to meet somebody... 0.98

00:55:12.000 First of all, it's an honour to be invited to the White House.

00:55:15.000 Yes, it is.

00:55:15.000 And I've already had a couple of people who...

00:55:19.000 I said to them, you know, I'm just going to take it as a backhanded compliment that you glide right past The idea that little Bill Maher from Rivervale, New Jersey Just a humble kid from the suburbs was invited for a private dinner to the White House You glide right past that to how dare you talk to him easy and that you're not impressed by it at all I'm impressed by it a lot I'm impressed the fuck out of it.

00:55:47.000 I get to go to the White House and And yes, that is the structure of this dinner, is just let's talk.

00:55:55.000 Let's talk to each other face to face.

00:55:57.000 Let's stop shouting from 3,000 miles away.

00:56:02.000 So if they expect me to be leaving in a MAGA hat, they're going to be very disappointed, but I know they don't.

00:56:09.000 And I think it's going to be, you know, look, it probably will accomplish very little, but you got to try, man.

00:56:16.000 You got to try.

00:56:17.000 I love it.

00:56:18.000 You know, Kanye, Bill Maher.

00:56:20.000 Thank you very much.

00:56:21.000 Appreciate you.

00:56:22.000 Love being with you, bud.

00:56:23.000 Yeah, this was so much fun!

00:56:25.000 And I love that you're going.

00:56:27.000 I think it's graced.

00:56:28.000 For exactly that.

00:56:29.000 It is graced, isn't it?

00:56:30.000 100%. Yes!

00:56:31.000 And I will celebrate it when it happens.

00:56:33.000 Great. I appreciate that.

00:56:35.000 Let me know in the comments and chat whether you think this will move the needle, whether Bill Maher and Trump can somehow broker a kind of cultural resolution.

00:56:42.000 Here's Trump's post.

00:56:43.000 I got a call from a very good guy, a friend of mine, Kid Rock, asking me whether or not it would be possible for me to meet in the White House with Bill Maher, a man who has been unjustifiably critical of anything or anyone.

00:57:01.000 Trump! I really didn't like the idea much, and I don't like it much now, but I thought it would be interesting.

00:57:05.000 The problem is, no matter how much he likes your favourite president, ME!

00:57:08.000 He will publicly proclaim what a terrible guy I am, etc.

00:57:11.000 Very much like the Democrats at my recent address to the Joint Session of Congress, where I stated correctly that no matter what I said or did, they wouldn't stand, they wouldn't applaud, they wouldn't smile or laugh, and certainly wouldn't be in any way NICE!

00:57:22.000 Who knows though, maybe I'll be proven wrong.

00:57:24.000 In any event, I'm doing a favour for a friend.

00:57:27.000 It's pretty amazing that Trump and Bill Maher are having a conversation and it's as a favour to Kid Rock.

00:57:32.000 I mean, where are we now?

00:57:33.000 What is this?

00:57:34.000 What is reality?

00:57:36.000 I look forward to meeting with Bill Maher and Kid Rock, and I believe even the legendary Dana White will be present.

00:57:42.000 It might be fun, or it might not, but you will be first to know.

00:57:45.000 There you go, Donald Trump in his customary manner, speaking plainly, directly to the audience that love him, and greeting him as a kind of messianic figure, as well as a political one.

00:57:56.000 Are these conversations valuable and important?

00:57:58.000 Necessary stations on a return to a united America?

00:58:01.000 Has America ever been united or has it always been divided by forms of division, firstly against the British, then the North versus the South?

00:58:10.000 And maybe secession, federalisation, subsidiarity are the answer when you have this much cultural tension.

00:58:17.000 Is there an agreed upon America that we're all fighting for, whether we're on the left or the right, Christian, Muslim, atheist or Jew?

00:58:23.000 Or is the era of their nation about to come to an end?

00:58:27.000 Certainly, I often think it might be fairer and more just if we all had more access to the levers of power, the ability to control our communities and our resources, and the ability to express ourselves culturally in alignment with our own faith in God.

00:58:40.000 But that's just what I think.

00:58:41.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments?

00:58:52.000 You did acknowledge that you did go to one of these freak-offs That's a joke!

00:59:02.000 That's a joke!

00:59:03.000 According to reports.

00:59:05.000 There's no reports, that's a joke!

00:59:07.000 Okay, a joke.

00:59:08.000 You called it an enforced holiday and you can't say no to them.

00:59:13.000 That was a joke?

00:59:14.000 That was when I, at the time, I did a movie with Diddy and at the time I was doing Junk It and one of the things...

00:59:20.000 When was this?

00:59:20.000 What year?

00:59:21.000 I don't know, I'm not good with numbers.

00:59:22.000 It was a long time ago.

00:59:22.000 But you know, I did get him to the Greek.

00:59:24.000 I can't remember.

00:59:24.000 I put Puff Daddy's in that film.

00:59:26.000 I want you to go to London and pick him up.

00:59:28.000 Then bring him back here for the show at the Greek.

00:59:30.000 Can you handle it?

00:59:31.000 Definitely. Doesn't it make sense that we would stay here and have the time of your life?

00:59:40.000 Your job is to control the artist.

00:59:42.000 If he's too messed up, you hit him with this adrenaline needle.

00:59:44.000 I need you to put this into...

00:59:45.000 What are you doing?

00:59:46.000 You're in the middle of the airport!

00:59:47.000 If he wants you to put the candy in the jar, you put the candy in the jar.

00:59:53.000 Hurry up!

00:59:54.000 It's not meant to be a hobby.

00:59:55.000 At a time, when I'd done that movie, went to Vegas for a night, watched a boxing match, Manny Pacquiao, Ricky Hatton, a British boxer.

01:00:03.000 It was pretty brutal if you're a Ricky Hatton fan.

01:00:06.000 Anyway, like at the time, I made a bunch of jokes about that.

01:00:08.000 I wrote about it in my book, you know, made content about it, probably did stand-up comedy about it.

01:00:13.000 That's what I've always done.

01:00:14.000 I always do, like, the reason I suppose I would have talked about Christianity openly, explicitly, and maybe, you know, candidly, is because I'm a comedian and a communicator.

01:00:25.000 is what I'm going to talk about.

01:00:26.000 You said you were married to Katy Perry at the time.

01:00:29.000 Yes. Okay, and that you left at 7 o'clock.

01:00:32.000 You did not stay.

01:00:33.000 You talked to one guy and you got out.

01:00:35.000 You did...

01:00:36.000 It's...

01:00:38.000 Am I right?

01:00:39.000 Am my research wrong?

01:00:40.000 Yes, and your research isn't wrong, it's drawn from a variety of resources that are being conflated.

01:00:46.000 One is an ex-post where I said something like, I went to a freakout and I didn't even get a refund, like some sort of joke that I made.

01:00:53.000 Another bit of the information is from a press junket, like sort of contemporaneously.

01:00:59.000 So that, you know, for the purposes of simplicity and candour, At the time that I was making a movie with Puffy, I went to Vegas to see that boxing match and he invited everyone in the cast to his famous, notorious white parties. 0.57

01:01:17.000 Now I made a joke about it.

01:01:18.000 What did I say?

01:01:19.000 Like I sort of, you know, like, you know, after all this came out in the media.

01:01:23.000 I made out some, what did I kind of say, like I went to a freak-off party and I had to fry you.

01:01:28.000 And in the end I had to freak myself off.

01:01:30.000 That's what it was.

01:01:31.000 I was on my own and I had to freak myself off.

01:01:33.000 So that was the joke that I made.

01:01:35.000 But I recognise that this, you know, allegations are coming out every day about a whole host of famous people.

01:01:40.000 This is what I think is interesting, Sean.

01:01:41.000 There are some people where it appears like there's a media appetite to not report on stories.

01:01:47.000 And there are some people where it seems like the media are really working very hard to report on stories.

01:01:53.000 You actually said people in Hollywood are terrified of being exposed for their sins.

01:02:05.000 That statement got my attention.

01:02:07.000 Well, I reckon, probably, because there's a kind of, it seems like there's been a normalisation.

01:02:12.000 Look, on one hand we have hedonism, epicureanism, the revelling in pleasure.

01:02:16.000 I was a very promiscuous person.

01:02:18.000 I was sleeping around with anyone who wanted to.

01:02:20.000 Not in an institutionalised way, in a kind of meeting people in bars, meeting people after shows, meeting people all the time, waitresses, strip clubs, you know.

01:02:29.000 Like, I was a pretty promiscuous person.

01:02:32.000 I really enjoyed it.

01:02:33.000 You've been outspoken about it.

01:02:34.000 Yeah, I mean, in a way, that's why.

01:02:36.000 Well, I've kind of thought the point was of becoming famous.

01:02:39.000 When I was a little kid growing up in Grey's, I'm like, why do you want to be famous?

01:02:41.000 Because I want to meet like a lot of women and have a bunch of money. 1.00

01:02:44.000 I'm growing up in a normal blue collar background.

01:02:46.000 I want to be rich and I want to sleep around.

01:02:49.000 And guess what?

01:02:49.000 When you're famous, it's really, really easy to meet women.

01:02:53.000 It's really easy.

01:02:54.000 I didn't have that problem.

01:02:55.000 And a lot of things are kind of bypassed the kind of normal procedures that you would go through of charming numerous dates, all of those things.

01:03:02.000 But if you're also actually quite charming and enthusiastic, like You know, all of the talk shows I was on.

01:03:07.000 Is it hard to be faithful now?

01:03:09.000 No. Not at all?

01:03:10.000 Absolutely not, because we are all, Sean, looking for something else.

01:03:15.000 And there is only one bread that will fulfill you.

01:03:17.000 It's perfectly natural, of course, to be attracted to people.

01:03:20.000 Did you ever wake up the morning after the night before and say, I can't live like this?

01:03:25.000 Any drug addict knows that feeling.

01:03:27.000 Any hedonist knows that feeling.

01:03:29.000 That's the conscience that I was telling you about.

01:03:31.000 Not only the conscience, the emptiness.

01:03:34.000 Well, thank you very much, all of you, for joining us today.
