In this episode of Stay Free With Russell Brand, Russell talks about how the legacy media and centralised state have been designed to keep us in check and secure their grip on power, and why we need to wake up to the fact that we are the only ones with the power to change the status quo. He also talks about the dangers of the globalist agenda, and how we can empower ourselves through our individual awakening.

00:01:56.000so In this video, you're going to see the future.
00:02:16.000We are getting to Birkini, we've got a lot of stuff there.
00:02:19.000Hey you Awakening Wanderers, thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:02:26.000While many in this world of legacy media corruption and centralised state distraction may want you to be like larvae, wasting away, atrophying in their hive of corruption and control, we pray for your freedom.
00:02:40.000Whoever you are, wherever you're from, whatever your beliefs, we believe that we are the opposition.
00:02:45.000We believe that the solution lies within your consciousness.
00:02:49.000We believe that no matter if you are pro-Israel, pro-Palestine, Republican, Democrat, Labour, Conservative, no matter what divisive tag may have been placed around your neck, there is a stream, a unitary stream, Running through all of us and we can oppose their globalist agenda through our individual awakening.
00:03:07.000This is the time where we must awaken.
00:03:13.000They are trying to intoxicate you with corruption and lies all the more ferociously and yet we become more powerful By the day.
00:03:20.000Why, you only need glance at their ludicrous automated measures and their evident failure to see.
00:03:27.000In a minute I'm going to show you one of the robots that we ultimately use to serve the globalist agenda struggling in the snow and human beings innocently helping it.
00:03:35.000We've got so many stories to cover today.
00:03:37.000If you're watching us on YouTube, you glorious awakening wonder you, there's a link in the description.
00:03:41.000You'll have to come over and join us in that stream of freedom where we can speak freely.
00:03:46.000Not hate speech, but the very speech they fear the most.
00:04:48.000The people on the outer peripheries, the vanguard, were closer to the truth than people now on state or corporate funded media.
00:04:55.000I'm talking about media that's either funded by big pharma advertising or funded by you.
00:05:00.000Those organizations, Those are the misinformation peddlers.
00:05:03.000Those are the people that are dangerous.
00:05:05.000Those are the institutions that you cannot trust.
00:05:07.000Now, we'll be on YouTube for about 15 minutes, then over on Rumble.
00:05:11.000If you download the app, that'll be better for us, because then we can tell you whenever we're broadcasting.
00:05:15.000We'll be telling you... Well, God, we've got so much stuff coming up.
00:05:18.000We've got a Glenn Greenwald show that we'll give early access to you for, plus exclusive content will remain on Locals if you're on Awake and Wonder.
00:05:26.000Remember there's an exclusive video for our locals community that's up right now talking about the mysterious increase of 8% in child fatalities, child deaths in the last couple of years.
00:05:36.000I wonder if the legacy media will be investigating thoroughly what caused that with the same vigour that they investigate dissenting voices that could affect their bottom line.
00:05:46.000We're going to be talking about Why the legacy media require Trump, why they continue to loathe him, and how when Trump fails, they fail.
00:05:54.000We'll also, as I've told you, be talking about globalism.
00:05:57.000We'll be talking about George Soros' lad.
00:05:59.000We'll be seeing him stammering in Davos.
00:06:03.000But first of all, Like, if ever you doubt human beings and our capacity for grace and love, for great service, the power that's in us all, have a look at this.
00:06:13.000This robot has probably been designed to ultimately change the page thing on the stream deck.
00:06:54.000Humanity, our kindness, our compassion, and our vulnerability are our greatest assets.
00:06:59.000If we can access that, there is a limitless power.
00:07:01.000They know that power is there, and by God, do they fear it.
00:07:05.000You'll be familiar by now with the fact that Elon Musk and Ben Shapiro have met in Auschwitz to talk about the legacy media and how the legacy media are threatened by X. This is an interesting conversation from our perspective because of course we're interested in the legacy media and their agenda of destruction.
00:07:21.000Did you see our recent content on the new revelations that Moderna have been tracking and surveilling many dissenting voices.
00:07:29.000I am included in the peculiar group of government-funded agencies that are hell-bent on shutting down dissent.
00:07:37.000They've been tracking Jay Bhattacharya, Alex Berenson, Michael Schellenberger, Anyone that's critical of the big pharma agenda.
00:08:00.000What is causing more people... It's almost like a couple of years ago, something happened that caused more people than ever before to die.
00:08:07.000But we don't know what it is and we simply don't have the time to investigate it.
00:08:11.000Let's have a look at Elon Musk talking about Legacy Media with Ben Shapiro in Auschwitz.
00:08:16.000Legacy Media has spent an awful lot of ink on you.
00:08:19.000There's been a lot of attempts to paint you as anti-semitic or paint X as anti-semitic.
00:08:25.000Where do you think that's coming from?
00:08:27.000Why does the Legacy Media seem to have you, particularly in the last year and a half, in the crosshairs so much?
00:08:34.000Well, I mean, the reality is that X is competition for the Legacy Media.
00:08:39.000So, You know, X is where people go to get the most current news and learn about the world.
00:08:47.000So the legacy media is our direct competitors.
00:08:51.000So they're really going to find every angle to try to cancel X.
00:08:55.000So, in a sense, what Elon Musk is saying, and let me know if you think this is true, the legacy media cannot be trusted, probably at all, on any subject, particularly after how they behaved during the pandemic.
00:09:06.000They were the people that were advocating for certain measures.
00:09:09.000They were the people that were amplifying the cries for lockdown.
00:09:11.000They were the people that were inaccurate in their reporting on the origins of this virus.
00:09:15.000They are the people that refuse to look into excess deaths, adverse events.
00:09:19.000They are essentially the mouthpiece of the powerful, amplifying and normalising their narratives, ensuring that we remain at least dependent, but potentially enslaved.
00:09:28.000So of course, whenever legacy media talk about independent media, you have to be deeply cynical and sceptical about what they're saying.
00:09:42.000I mean, if you want to know why things are happening, look at the incentives.
00:09:49.000And legacy media has had a tough time with respect to usage.
00:09:55.000The numbers I saw was that the sort of traditional print cable television viewership went down something like 20-30% last year.
00:10:05.000On the other hand, X went up roughly the same, roughly 20-30%.
00:10:11.000So it's a direct competition for people's attention.
00:10:14.000So if there's some attack they can levy against me.
00:10:18.000Okay, well that's a pretty interesting aspect of the conversation.
00:10:22.000Obviously many of you have very strong views about events in the Middle East and I must say it's difficult to blame you for it is a unique and complex and agonizing conflict.
00:10:33.000Part, it seems to me, of a geopolitical nexus that is designed or at least delivers forever wars and it seems to me that after the two trillion dollars squandered in Afghanistan, although I'm Not sure who in particular benefited from it, so maybe it wasn't entirely squandered.
00:10:49.000I'm sure Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing benefited, but it doesn't seem to me to have been a useful expenditure of your resources.
00:13:07.000So yeah, if you're watching this on YouTube, we're just going to do a little more here.
00:13:11.000We're talking briefly about the primaries, but I recognize that a lot of you feel that internal domestic politics are all contained within a paradigm that is ultimately controlled by the same interests.
00:13:20.000Although I similarly recognize that Vivek and Trump Our two figures much admired in the libertarian anti-establishment world.
00:13:31.000Let's have a look at a little bit of Trump and Vivek.
00:13:34.000They're campaigning together and there's a sense that Trump is getting some of his policies from Vivek.
00:14:18.000I didn't love him when he was running, but I like him now.
00:14:20.000It's amazing the way you can like somebody when you win, right?
00:14:25.000Donald Trump there, he understands comedy, he understands the button.
00:14:29.000Hey, so we've been talking about globalism, we've been talking about when people say, oh, what do you mean global establishment?
00:14:35.000What is this power that NATO, the WHO, the WEF, what is this power that the financial industry through the World Bank or the IMF, how is it that it works?
00:14:43.000How does the politics of debt operate?
00:14:46.000How do you go into a nation, get them heavily into debt?
00:14:50.000Exercise and leverage control using these, what we might term, globalist methods.
00:14:55.000Well, one evident observable facet of globalism is this WHO treaty.
00:15:01.000This is a post from a really good journalist, I figure, James Melville.
00:15:05.000The UK government has just confirmed its commitment to the WHO pandemic treaty.
00:15:10.000This is an affront to democracy and risks handing over significant components of public health policy to the World Health Organization.
00:15:18.000So, I think there is a petition you can sign.
00:15:22.000Although, someone else is posting fart now.
00:15:36.000So, hey, listen, so let's post in the chat, why don't we post the petition against the WHO treaty in the UK and the petition in the US, if there is one, in the Rumble chat and the Locals chat, because if you are an Awakened Wonder over there in Locals, we make additional content for you Every single week we're doing a farming, agricultural, global revolution story tomorrow, which is pretty damn fantastic.
00:16:00.000Mute for annoyance is not a free speech issue.
00:16:05.000And we've got the 8% excess deaths of children in the UK story to cover.
00:16:11.000Um, so yeah, let's post that, and you should probably sign that, because that WHO treaty, if you don't know, means 5% of your country's health budget will go to the WHO, and in the event of another pandemic, the seemingly inevitable event, I'm just using their language, they're saying disease X is likely and inevitable, I'm not saying it's inevitable, it's them that's saying it's inevitable.
00:16:28.000In that inevitable event, then 5% of your nation's budget, and any measures that they propose, that could include things like mandated vaccines, perhaps, or lockdowns, your nation will have no democratic Purchase, control, or even conversation over.
00:16:44.000Hey and on that subject, let's have a look at Fauci and how he truly feels about medical measures.
00:16:52.000We've got a story later this week about DARPA that you're gonna Like, you know, DARPA.
00:16:57.000They were involved in the beginning of the pandemic.
00:17:00.000They were connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology through the EcoHealth Alliance.
00:17:05.000They were funding research that seems, now at this point, to likely have been dual-purpose research, i.e.
00:17:11.000bioweapon research potentially was connected to events in Wuhan.
00:17:15.000While we're still on YouTube, I'll be careful about how I term that, but a man who uses language very confidently and deftly is Anthony Fauci.
00:17:25.000Once people feel empowered and protected legally, you are going to have schools, universities, and colleges are going to say, you want to come to this college, buddy?
00:18:01.000You will drop... The term ideological BS in this instance means freedom, personal autonomy, liberty, things that are enshrined in documents such as the Magna Carta, the US Constitution, the Holy Bible, the idea of your personal freedom.
00:18:31.000If you're watching us on YouTube right now, we'll be there for another couple of minutes before exclusively available on Rumble, speaking freely.
00:18:39.000And if you want to support our work and get additional content, here's a link in the description now showing you how you can do that.
00:18:47.000I've never seen so many number twos since I went down the sewage works.
00:18:51.000I was only there asking questions for a friend.
00:18:54.000If you want to support our work, you might want to go over to locals, where we do a lot of additional content.
00:18:59.000For example, our entire Whitney Webb conversation is up there.
00:19:02.000And why I love Whitney Webb is she talks about the financial component of global corruption so that you can understand it and corroborate it in ways that aren't dependent just on your strong emotional sense that corruption is taking place.
00:19:16.000She legitimizes it through what you might call journalistic integrity and research.
00:19:21.000So, meanwhile, over at Davos, which has come to an end and we've learned some pretty powerful messages from that, Alex Soros, son of George, has been participating.
00:19:31.000I don't know if you're fans of the show Succession, but it's difficult to keep the image of the Succession children out of your mind while watching Alex Soros talking at Davos.
00:19:56.000You know, so, you know, so, you know, but when I see this, you know, when I look at this, you know, you know, more globally regarding, regarding, you know, regarding democracy, I also say to myself, when was this great time?
00:20:12.000Everybody got along so well and, you know, things were going so... This is the kind of sort of miserabilist condemnation of the history of humanity that's common in rational and materialist circles.
00:20:30.000As a matter of fact, things are improving.
00:20:31.000There are more people that are not affected by poverty than any ever before.
00:20:36.000Do you know the Life expectancy in some countries, not America actually, but in some countries is actually going up and things are better than ever before.
00:20:43.000You may feel like you're in a state of existential despair, but actually things are great.
00:20:59.000This kind of discourse is becoming all too common in the rational circles exemplified by the WEF, and I know you guys are spotting that 666 in the World Economic Forum logo like an unconscious message being transmitted and transmuted from some deep unitary force.
00:21:16.000But, hey, Listen, it seems to me that that guy got where he is today through evident loquacious abilities and in a great capacity for truth-telling.
00:21:28.000Did you ask Russell about Fort Detrick, says Paul the Strings, like you said you would?
00:21:33.000Actually, I didn't, but we did get a lot of stuff on sort of like biolabs and that.
00:22:14.000The cultural agenda being used once again to legitimise further enhancing the agenda of the powerful, the most brilliant distraction they've ever yet come up with.
00:22:25.000The CIA using logos for the LGBTQ plus communities that they evidently and purportedly support.
00:22:33.000You're fine to be whatever you want to be as long as you ain't free.
00:22:37.000You can have whatever faith or religion or ideology or sexuality you want to have as long as you ain't free.
00:22:43.000You can say in your own mind that you are whoever you want to say you are in your mind as long as you're not free.
00:22:48.000As long as you stay corralled within the parameters that we've lain out for you and that we openly discuss here at the World Economic Forum, where they're even coming for your coffee now!
00:23:03.000If you want me to take medicine or stay in my house all year long, I'll do it.
00:23:07.000If you want us to go engaging forever wars with poor people around the world of a variety of colours and sexualities and tell us you're doing it for diversity, sure, take my taxes.
00:23:18.000But when you come for my caffeine, you cross a line that I ain't ready to have crossed, baby.
00:23:24.000We'll be having our coffee before the session, and you raised the coffee example.
00:23:27.000I'd love just to give you the chance to expand on that.
00:23:31.000Basically, the coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of coffee.
00:24:22.000Especially if they want me... You will pride the coffee from my cold dead fingers, is what they're saying in the Awaken Wonder chat over there on locals.
00:24:30.000Shaman711, coming for the coffee, revolution time.
00:24:44.000Hey, so listen, you know Marianne Williamson?
00:24:47.000She's a spiritualist, would you call her, and now politician.
00:24:51.000She's running for the candidacy in the Democrat Party, but she ain't getting a lot of support from the DNC, the regulatory body and I suppose steering committee of the Democrat Party.
00:25:02.000In fact, The Democrats seem pretty certain that there's only one man that can reliably run that thing.
00:25:09.000It's, oh right, 666 for Google Chrome logo.
00:25:26.000I say that we need entirely new systems, representative democracy, decentralization, unified but decentralized, individual freedom, community freedom, the maximum amount of democracy possible.
00:25:38.000But let's have a look at what Marianne Williamson is saying.
00:25:41.000Marianne, if you were able to speak with Joe Biden for, let's say, 60 seconds, what would you want to say to the President?
00:25:49.000I would tell him that with all due respect that you should be ashamed of yourself, sir, because this the way that you and your administration and the DNC has suppressed other candidates opposing candidates in this in this primary season has been undemocratic and should not happen.
00:26:06.000And Dean Phillips, myself and others, when you have Democratic voters, 70 percent of whom have said they'd like to hear.
00:26:12.000from other candidates, we should have had the right.
00:26:15.000And hopefully the Democratic voters and other independent voters, it's an open primary here.
00:26:20.000We'll see through that and we'll- For all of their hysteria around Donald Trump and how
00:26:24.000Donald Trump, in a second term of Trump, will turn America into a
00:26:28.000dictatorship, it's going to be worse than Pol Pot.
00:26:32.000The fact is that what we have in lieu of democracy right now under this establishment is already a threat to freedom.
00:26:41.000You've just got to decide what you think is worse, I suppose, and that's Marianne Williamson from within the party, the party that RFK had to leave in order to be heard.
00:26:51.000Hey, have you seen our friend Tucker Carlson's going to Canada and he's Got some ominous warnings for Justin Trudeau.
00:27:00.000We're going to be talking in a minute about Nikki Haley's ties to the military.
00:27:03.000We've got a fantastic story about legacy media hysteria when it comes to the subject of Trump, a man that they need for their economic model to work.
00:29:32.000Listen, if you watch this on YouTube, we are going to leave right now.
00:29:35.000We've got some extraordinary stuff coming up.
00:29:38.000Firstly, we're talking about the legacy media's infatuation with Donald Trump and their dual-purpose requirement to bring down Trump and yet elevate Trump, to continually amplify the threat of Trump while they acknowledge that they need Trump.
00:29:52.000We're going to be talking to you a little bit about the revelation that we're doing in more depth later this week that Bioweapon research likely took place in Wuhan, that there is literally scientific microbial evidence that that is the case, that bioweapon research potentially contributed to the lab leak, and that this research is continuing.
00:30:15.000Join us in a few seconds over on Rumble, you awakened wonders.
00:30:21.000Thank you for being in this stream of sweet freedom with us.
00:30:24.000Remember, If you join us over on Locals, let's post the link to Locals right now.
00:30:29.000We'll probably do another 10 minutes at the end of the show tonight.
00:30:31.000We do meditations, we do biblical readings, we give you one exclusive video a week.
00:30:36.000The 8% rise, for example, in child deaths in the UK, which I'm now free to say.
00:30:42.000Russell, did you get permission from Tricky and Run DMC to use that song?
00:30:45.000Yeah, we did, but we messed up somehow in a way that meant we could only use it exclusively on one platform.
00:30:50.000It really Bugs me as a matter of fact that we can only play it silently.
00:30:53.000So we'll do a bit extra on locals but we've still got plenty more time as well as a fantastic deep dive exploration into the legacy media and their complex relationship with Donald Trump.
00:31:07.000Welcome one another in the stream you awakened wonders, you glorious individuals.
00:31:12.000Would the elites controlling this go to the video if that's alright?
00:31:16.000Okay, so it's the New Hampshire primary later today.
00:31:19.000Are the legacy media the defenders of democracy that they cast themselves as or the participants in a circus that leads to the Trump bump and a return to the skyrocketing corporate media profits that they had during the years of the first Trump campaign and presidency?
00:32:39.000More than the darkest imaginable realms seem to be secretly rooting for him because when Trump's out of office and out of the picture, they have to lay off legacy media workers.
00:32:52.000So, is it possible that the reason the hysteria and amplification of the anti-Trump narrative continues to abide and even increases because the legacy media need Trump Now Trump is expected to win New Hampshire tonight and of course he rinsed it in Iowa.
00:33:06.000But there was a rush to announce his victory, perhaps preemptively, because legacy media outlets wanted to be the first to unveil the information.
00:33:15.000Let's have a look at some legacy media reporting around Trump and see if we can see where the hypocrisy emerges.
00:33:20.000Well, we don't know the number yet, Julie Fine.
00:33:50.000That means they select information to amplify, they select information to ignore, and significantly they are funded by their partners in marketing.
00:33:57.000In this case, in talking about cable news, overwhelmingly by Big Pharma.
00:34:02.000Have you noticed any news stories in the last couple of years that were biased towards outcomes that might be favourable to Big Pharma?
00:34:07.000Let me know in the chat and the comments.
00:34:09.000So when it comes to covering Donald Trump, they are massively compromised because clearly, ideologically, they do not like Donald Trump.
00:34:22.000Those are just a few of the things about Trump they loathe and despise.
00:34:25.000And yet Trump for them is ratings gold.
00:34:28.000So how do legacy media organizations that are dependent on advertising revenue
00:34:32.000support in an unbiased way on Donald Trump?
00:34:35.000The simple truth is they are unable to.
00:34:37.000We have to get the, we'll get to the Hitler stuff in a second.
00:34:41.000I mean, I think that story's been covered.
00:34:43.000He was a really bad, genocidal lunatic that used folk myth, the music of Wagner, even Hindu symbolism and Roman pageantry to revivify a dormant German nation that had been crushed by the First World War.
00:34:55.000We don't need to get back into, oh, you're going to say that Trump's here.
00:35:17.000But this guy, he's looking so old, he's shuffling around.
00:35:22.000They act as if it's ethically incorrect as well to condemn Biden on the basis of his physical appearance and his age, but they do it for Trump because they've got no principles at all, have they?
00:35:31.000All the while they're talking about this, they're thinking, we need Donald Trump.
00:35:34.000Without Donald Trump, pretty soon it's going to be, Micah, oh, sorry, you don't have Micah.
00:35:38.000We had to make her redundant because Biden is doing another term, basically at this point, like an ash cloud from a crypt, and we can't afford to pay Micah's wages.
00:35:47.000He's going through this thing and then about why he should have total immunity, total immunity even when he crosses the line.
00:35:57.000It is pure, sheer authoritarianism and tyranny.
00:36:03.000If that is your depiction and understanding of authoritarianism and tyranny, I'd love to see how they're handling the numerous stories around Hunter Biden, his business interests and their potential connection to Joe Biden, whether that's the Burisma stuff in Ukraine, these potential Chinese deals, of course the report in that was censored during the time of the election, because it If something is corrupt and tyrannical then it has to be corrupt and tyrannical whichever side does it.
00:36:24.000Otherwise you're simply advocating for a particular ideology while simultaneously amplifying the threat of Trump in order to have a powerful demon and opponent in their preferred media space so they can continually agitate for advertising.
00:37:04.000There's a good degree of hysteria there and agitation.
00:37:08.000So it would be surprising to learn, wouldn't it, that during the periods where Trump was not in office and not in the news cycle, their figures and revenue suffered.
00:37:18.000Let's have a look at some more MSNBC hysteria.
00:37:21.000Donald Trump supporters are right there with him.
00:37:24.000Even as his rhetoric has become more blatantly fascist, they want what he wants.
00:37:29.000Like, if you're going to scrutinise rhetoric right down to the sort of colloquial idiosyncrasies, what about the moment where Joe Biden says, no, the bombing of the Yemen isn't working in so much that it isn't impacting the Houthis, but we're going to continue with it?
00:37:56.000Don't you think that these kind of deeply cynical globalist issues are more significant than the tribal polemicism and fanfare that surrounds either of these two candidates?
00:38:06.000Frankly, in short, if they are indeed legitimately concerned about Donald Trump, Why are they not analysing and scrutinising corruption, hypocrisy and authoritarianism within the party that they support?
00:38:17.000In the past year, Trump has called for the termination of the Constitution, said he wants to be dictator for a day.
00:38:24.000He said that on, I think, Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity, wasn't it?
00:38:27.000And he said, for a day I'll be dictator, build the wall.
00:38:30.000I know about these legacy media tactics because I know how I personally have been victim to it.
00:38:34.000it as if it's serious shows you that they are kind of tweaking the dials.
00:38:38.000Well what if that wasn't a joke? What if we portray that in its worst possible light?
00:38:42.000I know about these legacy media tactics because I know how I personally have been victim to it.
00:38:47.000They take something that was out in the open and clear and explicit, for example my promiscuity,
00:38:51.000dial it up, amplify it, make it look as awful as possible and then present it to you as news.
00:38:57.000What do the legacy media report on and what do they ignore?
00:39:00.000They ignore things that could be detrimental to the interests of the powerful and they celebrate and amplify stories that are antithetical to your personal and particular interests.
00:39:09.000Trump has fundamentally transformed the Republican Party to the point that the party itself has taken on his grievances and the agenda of vengeance that he's openly planning if he wins a second term.
00:39:22.000Aside from agenda of vengeance sounding like a bit of a Sith sequel from an overly franchised Star Wars movie, Doesn't it seem to you that there is a bit of an agenda of vengeance against Trump himself as he deals with indictment after indictment after they continually pursue him through various courts?
00:39:39.000It seems to me somewhat politically motivated rather than, we must have justice for all of these various diffuse frauds.
00:39:46.000As Tom Nichols wrote in The Atlantic this week, quote, these voters now want to get even with their fellow citizens, not for what's been done to Trump, but for what they feel has been done to them.
00:39:57.000They were certain that 2016 would finally bring them the recognition and respect they craved.
00:40:01.000Instead, Trump set them up for a steady diet of ego-bruising rebukes from other voters.
00:40:08.000Ego bruising, rebukes from other voters.
00:40:10.000It's an interesting piece of analysis and you would think, given the nature of that invective, that these news organisations would legitimately be opposed to Trump.
00:40:20.000About 30 minutes into counting the first votes of the Iowa caucus, the Associated Press, CNN, NBC and various other news networks called it for Donald Trump.
00:40:28.000Donald Trump wins the Iowa Republican caucuses.
00:40:35.000There was little doubt that the former president would easily dominate the rural state, but the rush to declare him the victor in violation of policies that prohibit such calls before the polls close was a blatant attempt to soak up the election night audience.
00:40:47.000It is difficult because of course they have an agenda beyond conveying information.
00:40:51.000This followed another departure from traditional editorial practices when MSNBC and CNN refused to screen Trump's victory speech MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, casting herself and her network as defenders of the Republic, justified the unusual decision with typical exaggerated commentary.
00:41:06.000Maddow said her network would suffer by knowingly broadcasting untrue things, which is an extraordinary claim to present themselves as gatekeepers.
00:41:14.000And that is why you cannot trust the legacy media.
00:41:16.000That's why you should consider supporting our channel, where right now you can watch an exclusive video for our supporters on The Iowa primary heralded democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially fascist form of government.
00:41:33.000For his part, Jake Tapper of CNN suggested his network had to shield viewers from anti-immigrant rhetoric.
00:41:40.000I suppose there has to be a continual amplification of the hysteria simply to provide a sense of narrative.
00:41:45.000It's pretty clear they don't like Donald Trump.
00:41:47.000It's pretty clear that what they want is neoliberal authoritarianism with strong globalist ties.
00:41:52.000An America that is run by the agenda of NATO, the WHO, the WEF.
00:41:57.000Defined and confined by cultural war issues.
00:42:00.000It's pretty clear that that is the agenda.
00:42:02.000You don't need to every single day keep bloody well telling everybody that.
00:43:35.000Now, as you know, over the course of my life, I've had difficulties with food and eating, and you've got to be careful and healthy when it comes to diet.
00:43:43.000But if you think your problems with diet are to do with stress, this could be a very useful product for you as part of a healthy, conscientious and focused approach to your own wellness.
00:43:55.000Chronic stress wreaks havoc on blood sugar, which can cause your body to store excess fat.
00:44:00.000Stress can also slow your metabolism, which of course, as you know already, fuels weight gain.
00:44:04.000And you all know about stress eating and sugar cravings.
00:44:08.000The studied ingredients in lean have been shown to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, help optimize metabolism, and help keep your appetite under control.
00:44:43.000Statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
00:44:46.000This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and is not a substitute or alternative for care from a healthcare provider.
00:45:19.000The New York Times and Washington Post broke tradition and used the words lie and liar on their splash to describe a presidential candidate.
00:45:26.000The media used any opportunity to present Trump in a negative light.
00:45:29.000MSNBC, despite its supposed rule against broadcasting falsehoods, reported salacious stories casting
00:45:34.000Trump as a Russian intelligence asset, of course referring to Russiagate, which Rachel
00:45:38.000Maddow and MSNBC et al all enthusiastically reported, even though it's been proven to
00:45:45.000The press pitted itself against the candidate.
00:45:47.000While popular on cable television, this approach is very much divorced from journalism that seeks to understand why voters were attracted to his message on trade, his unorthodox opposition to foreign military interventions, or the anger he mobilised against establishment elites.
00:46:00.000For his part, Trump I think the political press is among the most dishonest people that I've ever met, Trump would say, to be met with uproarious applause.
00:46:12.000Undoubtedly, Trump's instincts around elitism, the establishment, neoliberal, globalist politics are Pretty acute, astute and well observed.
00:46:22.000The fact is Trump cannot rise to prominence and ongoing success unless there is an appetite for Trump.
00:46:28.000And a big part of that appetite, I believe, is the antipathy that the government, legacy media, corporatism, globalism are all collectively held in.
00:46:36.000Whether or not you believe Trump has delivered on the promises and rhetoric that he's delivered in his previous presidential campaign and whether or not he will deliver on the rhetoric during this one, there is no question that the more the legacy media says that they hate Donald Trump, the more other people regard him as a populist icon and an anti-establishment figure.
00:46:54.000What's baffling about all of this is there's never a time of atonement or a reckoning.
00:46:59.000You never see Morning Joe and all them others sat around the table and going, you know what, we should probably talk about the corruption within the Biden family.
00:47:04.000We should probably talk about the lack of infrastructure in American life.
00:47:07.000We should probably talk about why all of these people feel so unheard and angry.
00:47:11.000Unless you're willing to campaign along the lines of, listen, we don't think Donald Trump's a very good political figure for these reasons.
00:47:18.000But we recognise that what he's tapped into in you is a kind of rage and anger and despair and a desire for a different type of America.
00:47:26.000All they've ever really offered is, you slot must be racist.
00:47:29.000And so much of it doesn't make sense when you find out that the Democrat Party has already lost the white working class vote of its own former supporters and is well on the way to losing non-white, black, Hispanic voters.
00:47:41.000One of the things he was most condemned for was the cages.
00:48:23.000We're resisting that change because we won't let someone like Robert F. Kennedy even debate our current candidate.
00:48:29.000We won't send Biden into the debate, Marianne Williamson.
00:48:32.000And because of that, because Joe Biden is a symbol of the establishment, he is a symbol of that party, elderly, perhaps once efficient, but certainly not anymore.
00:48:41.000Because of these failings, All they can do is sort of marvel at and fetishise Donald Trump, and even that's not working.
00:48:47.000Unless their agenda is simply to increase news and advertising revenue, then it's working pretty well, actually.
00:48:52.000All decorum gone, the clashes drove record viewership and unprecedented profits for media corporations.
00:48:58.000Meanwhile, the endless anti-Trump headlines in the liberal media only made his point about bias while also keeping him right at the heart of every story.
00:49:44.000But if it gets proven at some point that by amplifying Trump,
00:49:47.000by showing Trump, by finding the right line, oh, what we'll do is we'll talk about Trump,
00:49:53.000If they can't continue this delicate dance around the issue of Trump, their model is doomed.
00:49:57.000And perhaps with the rise of independent media anyway, their model is no longer effective.
00:50:02.000What we're watching, I think, is a bunch of institutions falling apart, doubling down on hysteria and authoritarianism in order to resist what seems to me to be the inevitable decentralization of many of their models.
00:50:14.000Let me know what you think in the chat.
00:50:15.000The Washington Post and New Yorker enjoyed record circulation.
00:50:19.000MSNBC and CNN also claimed unprecedented viewership, finally outflanking Fox News as each network competed for an audience hungry for Trump controversies, some of which, like the Steele dossier, were outright fabrications.
00:50:31.000A story we've covered, the Clinton campaign funded lies that made it all the way onto legacy media shows, and they've never really acknowledged that.
00:50:39.000They certainly don't ever acknowledge it when they talk about lack of trust in the media or the rise in Trump's popularity.
00:50:43.000Another one of the things they just don't cover.
00:50:45.000The heightened political climate continues to benefit CNN, John Martin, head of Turner, told the Financial Times.
00:50:51.000Even the New York Times boasted about its Trump bump.
00:50:54.000Mark Thompson, then the Times' chief executive, celebrated a continued revenue spike well after the campaign ended, as coverage of exceptional news events, including the firing of James Comey, helped add 109,000 new digital customers.
00:51:07.000Ultimately it's a business model that needs to alter and amend and it needs to exist in these type of spaces.
00:51:12.000I believe that's why these kind of spaces are under significant attack because they represent the emergence of entirely new perspectives or old perspectives re-heard and it's an enormous threat to the media unless they can start penetrating these spaces.
00:51:27.000The Washington Post lost nearly a third of its digital audience and last October announced large cutbacks to its workforce.
00:51:33.000Viewership rates are down at all the major cable and television networks with NBC and MSNBC just earlier this month reporting yet another round of layoffs.
00:51:41.000When do you consider that the Democrat Party essentially exiled RFK rather than have a candidate that could stand up against Trump?
00:51:48.000And wouldn't even let Bernie Sanders run as a candidate, preferring Hillary Clinton inexplicably.
00:51:54.000How do you imagine the legacy media, the propagandist arm of the same establishment interests, feels when it comes to a decision between we're going to have to cut our own workforce and make less money with Biden in office, Or we can continue to contribute to this hysteria around Trump, even knowing that potentially we increase his chances of being elected, but also keep our advertising revenue and subsidies nice and high.
00:52:17.000How do you think they might respond to that internally, knowing what we know about their ethics?
00:52:21.000No wonder then that the anti-Trump narrative is rearing its head again.
00:52:24.000The Iowa coverage already points to what lies ahead, as Trump is described as a psychopathic criminal.
00:52:40.000And his entire base built on a cult of personality.
00:52:43.000The media will again do battle in an attempt to prevent the former president from returning to the White House.
00:52:48.000Paradoxically though, this is bound to help not hinder Trump's campaign.
00:52:52.000In 2016, journalists were so distracted by the latest Trump tweet that they paid no heed to the electorate.
00:52:57.000It's deep frustration at the establishment and it's longing for a change agent.
00:53:01.000But such are the incentives and outlets are bound to overplay their hand again.
00:53:04.000The professional and financial advantages are such that non-partisan journalism is forgotten.
00:53:09.000The media will cast themselves as defenders of democracy and joust with Trump and his campaign,
00:53:13.000little realising that their crusade may well lead him straight back into office.
00:53:18.000I suppose the question we're left with is, is that exactly where they want him?
00:53:22.000What an extraordinary time we live in where our trust in media is so low,
00:53:26.000we can't even trust them in their own evident passion and enthusiasm
00:53:30.000when it comes to ultimately what matters most to them, ongoing profits.
00:53:35.000When we know how their model is funded, when we know what their affiliations are when it comes to corporatism, when we saw during the pandemic period how they advocate and align in particular with the interests of the pharmaceutical industry, which is why we want you to subscribe and watch our 8% excess death in children video if you can because I believe
00:53:51.000strongly the legacy media model is finished.
00:53:54.000They have no authenticity, they have no vitality, they have no real connection to the issues they
00:53:59.000talk about. When you see Micah and Morning Joe and those various other pundits pontificating,
00:54:04.000what I believe you're watching is the No.
00:54:05.000end of a particular type of institution that has no ideas left except the ongoing vilification
00:54:11.000of someone in the figure of Donald Trump who has harnessed a tide of anti-establishment
00:54:16.000zeal and they are completely at a loss as to how to oppose it because to oppose it would
00:54:20.000mean radically altering their entire model and everything that they advocate for.
00:54:24.000But that's just what I think, let me know what you think in the chat.
00:54:48.000It's inevitable that we're all going to have cultural beliefs that differ and any centralised form of government is ultimately going to end up oppressing, either visibly and invisibly and implicitly, Marginalized groups or explicitly.
00:55:29.000Oh yeah, Russell, are you going to cover that clip of that British piano player in public having a group of Chinese people demanding he stop filming?
00:55:34.000They tried to send the cops after him and it almost worked.
00:55:41.000Let's have a look at that British guy who's a YouTuber, actually.
00:55:44.000We should give him a little shout out.
00:55:46.000Who's playing the piano in public, and then some Chinese folk who are making TV there, let's say, you've got to stop filming.
00:55:53.000Russell, what do you think of the King Charles and the WEF, says Kristen 1974?
00:55:57.000I think the WEF are soft PR for globalist power, and I think that the monarchy at this point And perhaps at any point is a visible living demonstration of hierarchical systems that need to be abandoned and abolished and replaced.
00:59:40.000Someone makes the point, private shopping mall.
00:59:43.000Yeah, that's what happens with the privatisation of previous public space.
00:59:46.000There was some, like in our country, there was a bill, I think in Georgian Georgian Britain where like common land was taken in a private ownership and from that point on the kind of dynamics of what public life consisted of starts to irrevocably alter and you see this escalated now like the only reason they could move on people that were participating in the Occupy movement was because many of those squares where the protest took place were ultimately privately owned even though you would think as part of your country or our country that they would be publicly owned because they're funded by
01:02:23.000I know a lot of people that work within police forces that are really good people.
01:02:27.000public servants that got into the police force because they want to serve the public, not because they want to enforce the agenda of the powerful.
01:02:36.000It's a very curious line they've got to walk.
01:02:38.000I'm sure many of you know people that are in service, whether it's people that are firefighters or health professionals or even police officers that are publicly minded.
01:02:45.000This of course comes from the channel of Brendan Cavanagh, who's a British YouTuber.
01:02:50.000You should check out his stuff because he's clearly up for it, but most of the time he's just Playing the old Joanna, tickling the old Ivories without, I'm assuming and I hope, intervention from the police.
01:03:00.000Because I know that you are putting this on your YouTube.
01:03:02.000It doesn't matter where it goes, we're in a free country.
01:03:19.000Well, they came... Listen, Kerry, if I was over in China and I started laying the law down to Chinese people at the piano, telling them what they cannot do, do you think that's appropriate?
01:03:29.000They came over here, the guy started shouting at me, and he said, you're not allowed to film, you're not allowed... And I said, sorry, we're in Britain and I'm allowed to play.
01:03:36.000And I said, you're waving a communist flag.
01:03:55.000We'll watch the end of this in a second.
01:03:58.000In a way, you have to be able to see the interface between issues like this and other globalist issues that are going to be affecting us, I think, increasingly.
01:04:07.000We're going to be talking more about this later in the week.
01:04:10.000The revelation that indeed the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in conjunction with DARPA, funded by the EcoHealth Alliance, were working on dual-purpose research.
01:04:20.000Dual-purpose research is a long euphemism that ultimately means bioweapons.
01:04:25.000This is a fantastic story, we'll be looking at it in more detail later this week, but I just want to give you a heads up on it because it's pretty important.
01:04:34.000government officials stated that sources in the U.S.
01:04:36.000government were 100% confident that COVID-19's patient zero worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and conducted risky gain-of-function experiments there.
01:04:47.000This lab received funding from the National Institutes of Health, you've heard of them, through EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based non-profit.
01:04:53.000Remember, these agencies are significant.
01:04:56.000In 2018, EcoHealth Alliance applied for a grant from the Defence Advanced Research Project Agency, DARPA.
01:05:10.000The DARPA for a project called Diffuse that would involve Shi Zhengli's lab group at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Ralph Baric's lab at the University of North Carolina.
01:05:20.000So there's a connection between DARPA, EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
01:05:27.000Right-to-Know has obtained a full cache of notes and drafts from the DEFUSE grant proposal for a Freedom of Information Act request.
01:05:34.000These documents reveal that the features of SARS-CoV-2 closely resemble the work described in EcoHealth Alliance's proposal.
01:05:42.000That means that they can, at a microscopic level, observe that the proposals that they were looking for grant funding for, DARPA and EcoHealth Alliance, looks a lot like SARS-CoV-2, i.e.
01:05:57.000the research they were applying to be able to do looks like the disease that causes the pandemic.
01:06:05.000I'm only following the science now, so don't leap to any conclusions.
01:06:10.000SARS-CoV-2's furin cleavage site primed the virus for easy transmissibility among humans and is absent from the closest known relatives of SARS-CoV-2.
01:06:20.000What comes up in this is extraordinary, like literal individuals over in Russia researching biolabs that then subsequently crop up in Wuhan.
01:06:30.000It's a fantastic, fascinating and interesting story.
01:06:33.000We'll be covering it in more depth Over the coming days.
01:07:41.000You can't say they've come from China.
01:07:43.000You can see, I suppose, in this exchange how the charge of bigotry is used to shut down communication because I don't think That guy's saying they're from China and are therefore inferior, or they're from China and therefore don't have any rights.
01:07:59.000I think he's saying they're from China.
01:08:03.000Why are they telling us what to do when they're just on holiday making a TV show?
01:08:59.000Are we in a free country anymore though?
01:09:03.000And what will that freedom look like if the WHO treaty comes to pass?
01:09:08.000What will it look like if there's just an ongoing increase of ever more frightening global crises that are used to leverage and legitimise further authoritarianism. Fascinating and extraordinary. We're
01:09:21.000going to cover a few more stories now. If you guys are watching us over there on
01:09:25.000Rumble, let's post a link in the description. We'll do another 10 minutes over on
