Stay Free - Russel Brand - My Turning Point Speech - Faith, Freedom & the Fight for Meaning - SF666

00:00:07.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brandon conspiracy theorist bring real journalism to the American people.

00:00:16.000 Hello there, you awakening wonders.

00:00:18.000 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:00:20.000 I was at turning point last night.

00:00:22.000 Hopefully everything's okay now.

00:00:25.000 Here is some special highlights from that turning point event.

00:00:29.000 Unless I'm like in if I'm in jail or worse, help me, help me.

00:00:34.000 But otherwise, here's that turning point event.

00:00:40.000 I want to live in communities where people share my values and are there proof choice, freely.

00:00:44.000 Culture has a power to shape and form, influence, and mold behavior.

00:00:49.000 We're born, we die.

00:00:50.000 Some people don't believe in God.

00:00:51.000 I do believe in God.

00:00:52.000 For me, the point of my religion is to one, make me our Coke in this world, knowing I'm going to die and that everyone I love is going to die and that there is injustice and there is unfairness.

00:01:00.000 And two, I want to be good.

00:01:02.000 If you're being, if you've become disobedient to the state, you have to know that you're being obedient to something and it must be God.

00:01:09.000 Fear not, for I have redeemed you.

00:01:11.000 I've called you by your name.

00:01:13.000 You are mine.

00:01:14.000 All forms of worship are the inappropriate substitute for the adulation that we owe to he that saved us.

00:01:20.000 Love your family, love your son, love your nation, but above all things, love Jesus Christ.

00:01:26.000 Please welcome Russell Bryan.

00:02:00.000 I'm first.

00:02:02.000 Merry Christmas to you.

00:02:06.000 Praise the Lord.

00:02:10.000 I've got to tell you, I did not anticipate being between Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson at a moment where that don't seem like a good position to me.

00:02:24.000 Oh man, I'm so lucky that I've got Jesus.

00:02:26.000 I'm so blessed that I've got Jesus.

00:02:28.000 I'm so glad that I'm not responsible for this myself.

00:02:31.000 I'm here to love you.

00:02:32.000 I'm here to, as best as I can, in my crazy little accent, tell you that my life has been irrevocably changed, revolutionarily changed, inconceivably altered by the power of Christ Jesus.

00:02:44.000 I want to share that with you.

00:02:46.000 Do you know why I'm here?

00:02:49.000 I better pray first, case I mess up.

00:02:51.000 You know me, I'm done.

00:02:52.000 Heavenly Father, would you guide my mouth?

00:02:54.000 Would you guard my lips?

00:02:55.000 Oh Lord, I bend my knee and my tongue will serve you, Heavenly Father, and no other.

00:03:00.000 Thank you, Lord, for your Son, Jesus Christ, who died that we may know eternal life.

00:03:04.000 But may we know eternity here in this moment, Lord.

00:03:08.000 There is no statute of limitations on love thy neighbor.

00:03:12.000 The whole world is our neighbor.

00:03:14.000 We were intended to be one family, Heavenly Father.

00:03:16.000 You gave your life, you gave your blood, and may the covenant of your blood cover us all.

00:03:20.000 I pray, Father, for the eternal soul of Charlie Kirk.

00:03:24.000 I thank you for his sacrifice.

00:03:26.000 And I thank you, Lord, that we have this opportunity to be here in unity.

00:03:30.000 The opportunity for true unity.

00:03:33.000 The opportunity for community.

00:03:35.000 The opportunity to be different, Lord.

00:03:38.000 I thank you, Heavenly Father, for Erica Kirk's boldness and her bravery, and for her example of forgiveness.

00:03:46.000 And surely, if she can forgive the people of the man responsible, Lord, for the murder of her husband, surely this principle of forgiveness is something that we can all extend.

00:03:57.000 Lord, may we know your grace.

00:03:58.000 May we live in your grace and particularly when it's expensive to us, when it costs us something.

00:04:05.000 May we enter into your kingdom, a kingdom of love.

00:04:09.000 May we put aside petty squabbles and disputes, Lord, and may we move into a new era of grace in your glory.

00:04:16.000 I pray for the kingdoms to merge.

00:04:18.000 I pray for your return.

00:04:20.000 I pray that we participate in making straight the paths.

00:04:23.000 In the holy name of Jesus Christ, I pray amen.

00:04:30.000 Hey, I want to talk to you about change and I want to talk to you about authority.

00:04:34.000 I've had an unusual life.

00:04:38.000 I used to be a Hollywood, I don't want to say Hollywood movie star, but I was starred in some movies, you know.

00:04:44.000 If I'd have been between Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro like 10 years ago, man, I can't imagine what those circumstances would have been.

00:04:55.000 Maybe a diddy party!

00:05:00.000 Oh Lord, we are all compromised.

00:05:02.000 We are all broken.

00:05:04.000 I'm here to share with you from my position of brokenness.

00:05:08.000 I'm here to share with you that I am inspired by Charlie Kirk's legacy and his example.

00:05:13.000 I'm here because Charlie Kirk asked me to come here.

00:05:17.000 Charlie Kirk's not with us anymore.

00:05:19.000 So unless Erica Kirk asked me to do some stuff with turning point in the future, I'll never be a turning point again.

00:05:25.000 Because for me, turning point, if it means anything, it means turning away and it means turning in the right direction.

00:05:30.000 Repentance.

00:05:33.000 Repent.

00:05:34.000 Turn away from the illusion of worldliness, from its fixations and fascinations, its hypnosis.

00:05:42.000 I know about carnality, I've got to tell you. 0.99

00:05:45.000 I lived a dumb, hedonic Hollywood life. 0.99

00:05:49.000 To go from a Hollywood-headedness to a Bible-believing Christian is a big journey. 1.00

00:05:55.000 But we've got a lot of big journeys ahead of us.

00:05:59.000 A lot of radical change.

00:06:01.000 I didn't think it was possible to be changed in the way that I've been changed.

00:06:05.000 I thought it was inconceivable, unimaginable.

00:06:08.000 Before turning to Christ, I suppose, the biggest change that I'd ever known was the change from, well, I suppose before being a parent to becoming a parent, that's pretty radical change.

00:06:20.000 Certainly it's a radical change in terms of the person you say you'll be as a parent before you have kids and then the person you are when your kids show up.

00:06:32.000 Because before I had kids, this is me.

00:06:35.000 I was, when I have children, I'm telling you now, I will not be letting them look at screens or eat sugar or any of that stuff.

00:06:45.000 And actually parents that do do that, I'd like to judge them.

00:06:48.000 I'd like to judge them and maybe even condemn them.

00:06:51.000 Now, I've got three children.

00:06:53.000 I'm like, oh my God, give it an iPad and a Dr. Pepper, will you?

00:06:57.000 Silence these children.

00:06:59.000 I've changed a lot.

00:07:01.000 I used to be vegan.

00:07:02.000 Now I eat meat.

00:07:04.000 Everything.

00:07:09.000 Don't tell me you're more into carnivorism than the incarnation.

00:07:14.000 Don't tell me you're more into eating flesh than God became flesh.

00:07:18.000 Don't tell me you're more enamored of the barbecue sauce than the holy covenant of blood.

00:07:24.000 It is delicious.

00:07:25.000 Man, I missed it.

00:07:25.000 I was vegan for so long.

00:07:27.000 I was so hungry.

00:07:29.000 It was a desperate, desperate time.

00:07:31.000 I can't get enough steaks now.

00:07:33.000 I've tried.

00:07:33.000 I'm doing nothing but devouring them continually.

00:07:36.000 I want to talk to you, you lot, about the possibility of change and the possibility of transformation.

00:07:40.000 I was listening to Ben Shapiro and I admire Ben Shapiro a great deal for many things.

00:07:45.000 I think he's an excellent man, an excellent communicator, and I think he's done phenomenal work in a lot of areas.

00:07:51.000 I believe in peace.

00:07:52.000 I believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.

00:07:55.000 I believe that he came to atone for our sins, paid a debt that we could never pay.

00:08:02.000 And indeed, if we're going to be at a turning point event, we have to pay homage to the spirit of Charlie Kirk in truth and the principles of turning point.

00:08:13.000 Unapologetically telling the truth, unapologetic, absolute attempts to understand one another, to communicate openly.

00:08:21.000 And there's clearly a conversation that needs to be had in this country right now.

00:08:25.000 Clearly there is.

00:08:27.000 Doubtlessly, many people are cynical and skeptical.

00:08:31.000 Turning point has performed an incredible function in ensuring that young people have access to conservative values and conservative principles.

00:08:40.000 But if you've read that book, if you've read the Bible, you will know that human institutions are fallible, beyond fallible, captured.

00:08:51.000 Now, I've got the Bible with me, so you know that you're not making the terrible mistake your nation once made of listening to people with this accent. 0.99

00:09:02.000 Trying to tax you without representation.

00:09:07.000 But there's very little point in you having that magnificent revolution and then falling once more into the traps that had been laid a thousand times.

00:09:17.000 For surely those traps are multitudinous, nefarious, deceptive and difficult to avoid.

00:09:25.000 There are imprints.

00:09:26.000 The counterfeit systems of centralized control are asserted again and again and again.

00:09:32.000 It is the function of the world to distract you.

00:09:35.000 It is the function of the world to enchant you.

00:09:38.000 It is the measure and means of the evil one to create facsimiles of systems of omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence.

00:09:47.000 And I tell you this as a proud Englishman from a country where they're introducing facial recognition technology, digital ID, ending trial by jury, incarcerating people for free speech.

00:10:01.000 The United Kingdom is in trouble and we look to you for an example and that example must be transcendent of the political.

00:10:09.000 In short, I can't collapse my love and devotion to Christ Jesus into support of one or any political party.

00:10:19.000 I know that Turning Point's here to advocate primarily for Republicanism.

00:10:22.000 I'm not suggesting they change what they're doing.

00:10:24.000 They're a brilliant organization.

00:10:26.000 I'm telling you that I love Jesus.

00:10:28.000 Jesus.

00:10:29.000 That unless people are following Christ, they will fail you and they will let you down.

00:10:33.000 Now I happen to think that Trump's performed near miracles in office, as a matter of fact.

00:10:39.000 Near miracles, because I think he happens to be a pretty obstinate, anomalous and unique individual.

00:10:46.000 That's what I happen to believe about Donald Trump.

00:10:50.000 authentic and open, a stumbling block for global imperialism that was on the precipice of total domination.

00:11:06.000 When Donald Trump makes a post like he made about Rob Reiner, God bless and God rest Rob Reiner's eternal soul, I would say that's further evidence of Trump's lack of filter.

00:11:20.000 Trump makes mistakes.

00:11:22.000 He says things that are regrettable.

00:11:25.000 There's no chance of that with your former president because I don't suppose that autopen could handle making ex-posts. 0.68

00:11:36.000 Frankly, I'm surprised that Biden could keep hold of that autopen with Hunter Biden in the household.

00:11:43.000 Surprised he didn't sell it for crack or just directly use it to smoke crack.

00:11:51.000 I see things differently from Ben Shapiro.

00:11:54.000 I've got to tell you, whilst I respect him, I respect his faith, and I respect that we worship and praise the same God.

00:12:01.000 I recognize that.

00:12:02.000 But I believe it's important and vital to have conversations with people that oppose difficult opinions and opposing opinions.

00:12:11.000 I've spoken to Nick Fuentes.

00:12:13.000 I've spoken to Candace Owens.

00:12:15.000 They're Christians like you and like me.

00:12:19.000 And were they not?

00:12:20.000 They're broken human beings like you, like me, like Ben Shapiro, like Tucker Carlson.

00:12:24.000 No one's better than anyone else.

00:12:26.000 We're all on our knees, shoulder to shoulder, under the blood of Christ.

00:12:31.000 And what I would advocate for is supreme compassion for Erica Kirk as a human being, as a woman, as a mother that's lost her husband, as a woman who has to have.

00:12:45.000 I left my kids to come here today, man.

00:12:48.000 Like my little boy who's two, my little boy whose carved heart led me by the hand to Christ.

00:12:55.000 That little boy that I handed over to anesthetist.

00:12:58.000 Aeneas.

00:12:59.000 Hold on a minute, I can do this.

00:13:00.000 Anaetesist.

00:13:02.000 Someone here with your accent?

00:13:04.000 Anaesthetists.

00:13:05.000 and nice people that oh let's just cut this piece It's not being streamed live, is it?

00:13:11.000 No one cares about this.

00:13:12.000 Everyone's just like, did you see what Ben Shapiro said about Tucker?

00:13:16.000 And then Tucker's going to, oh my God, man.

00:13:20.000 Oh, man.

00:13:21.000 Well, honestly, I can't believe that Tucker Carlson would have an interview with somebody and not grab them by the throat, frankly.

00:13:31.000 We're children of God.

00:13:32.000 No one knows anything.

00:13:34.000 You're broken, I'm broken.

00:13:35.000 Ben Shapiro's broken.

00:13:37.000 We're all wrecked and ruined.

00:13:39.000 The reason I love that man, Charlie Cook, I learned to love him more posthumously.

00:13:44.000 When I met him a couple of times, I didn't understand what he was, frankly.

00:13:48.000 He was so bloody tall.

00:13:49.000 I just thought he was a kind of right-wing rainman. 0.86

00:13:55.000 But when I told him I was reading Romans, he told me it's the Christian Constitution.

00:14:00.000 And I've returned to that book many times since his sad death with those words in mind.

00:14:07.000 What does he want from us, our Lord?

00:14:10.000 Can Jesus Christ help us to manage the complexity of a domestic culture that sometimes feels like it's on the precipice of ruin, fragmentation, incessant conflagration?

00:14:22.000 Of course he can.

00:14:23.000 Can Christ resolve the complexity of the issues in the Middle East?

00:14:28.000 Is it possible to love Jesus Christ, to believe that Israel has a right to a homeland, but to be deeply concerned about events in Gaza and the deaths and the power and the mismatch?

00:14:39.000 I believe under Christ it is possible.

00:14:43.000 Is it possible to be cynical and have doubts about the deep state?

00:14:48.000 Is it possible to have questions about permanent government, global bureaucracies that seek to emulate God while telling you God's not real?

00:14:56.000 Of course it's possible.

00:14:58.000 The old model will not work.

00:15:01.000 We are waiting for a new kingdom.

00:15:03.000 The systems will fail you because they are human systems.

00:15:07.000 Even advanced technology will only emulate the counterfeit systems of the fallen one.

00:15:14.000 Indeed, what is Lucifer but an attempt to set up your own kingdom, your own circuit, to not accept the supreme sovereignty of our Lord God?

00:15:25.000 What is it? Do you want to support me?

00:15:35.000 No, I don't.

00:16:26.000 Now, I didn't just bring this Bible for show.

00:16:29.000 I've actually marked out passages to read you, and I'm going to do that now.

00:16:33.000 Look, I've put little bookmarks in there.

00:16:35.000 Aren't I adorable?

00:16:40.000 Now, just listen to this because I've thought a lot about what I wanted to say to you today and why indeed you would listen to me.

00:16:48.000 Because I'm a person that doesn't like authority.

00:16:52.000 I'm a person that maybe, like you, woke up to the depth, breadth, and insidiousness of corruption during the COVID pandemic period.

00:17:00.000 I believe many of us recognized that was an attempt to subdue us, to subjugate us, to make us dependent on the state.

00:17:09.000 You can have dependency only on one entity, one deity, one God.

00:17:19.000 I thank the Lord, man, that even before I was saved, my rejection of worldliness as a natural rebel meant I never took that vaccine, not once.

00:17:35.000 They played it wrong for me.

00:17:37.000 If they'd really wanted me to take that vaccine, a little bit of reverse psychology probably would have been the best way.

00:17:43.000 The main reason I didn't take it is because they told me to.

00:17:45.000 The main reason is I already know, don't trust the government, don't trust big pharma.

00:17:50.000 I know that already from life.

00:17:53.000 I don't trust the people that induce an opioid crisis when they tell me that it's necessary to take injections.

00:17:59.000 I don't trust systems that require us to be mentally sick, malnourished, dependent on bad food and bad ideas.

00:18:06.000 I don't trust those systems.

00:18:08.000 If they'd really wanted me to take those vaccines, all they had to do was hide a couple of syringes somewhere in my house and say, listen, there's some syringes in here.

00:18:16.000 Under no circumstances are you to touch them or take them.

00:18:20.000 I'd be like, nine booster shots in within a week.

00:18:25.000 Pericardias, myocardias, just hit me, baby. 0.96

00:18:29.000 Hit me.

00:18:30.000 Natural immunity, the divine power of the body.

00:18:35.000 No, the divine power of Pfizer, the divine power of Merck, the divine power of Moderna.

00:18:41.000 And I'm telling you now, I speak to you as a visitor and a guest in your magnificent country with the reminder that it was none other than Charlie Kirk that said your constitution was written, he believes, to be practiced by a Christian nation.

00:18:55.000 That if you don't have Christianity as an accompaniment to a constitution, you'll get corruption.

00:19:05.000 But don't take my word for it.

00:19:08.000 Here we go.

00:19:09.000 First up, Luke 4:6.

00:19:11.000 The world is run by dark, nefarious forces.

00:19:14.000 You know, when we, I've not been Christian very long, but what's been so exciting about it?

00:19:18.000 This is my first Christian Christmas.

00:19:20.000 No, I had one last year, but this year, I feel it, man.

00:19:22.000 I feel the advent.

00:19:23.000 I feel him.

00:19:24.000 I feel the coming of the light.

00:19:26.000 I know that in the dark, low places of your life, in the manger of your life, that is where the king will come.

00:19:31.000 If you're suffering now, if you're suffering today, if you feel at a loss, if you feel broken, if you feel that all around you is Babylon, Babble, brokenness, and fallen, fragmented communication, I'm here to tell you that he is coming.

00:19:42.000 He is coming in your life.

00:19:43.000 He is here now.

00:19:44.000 We worship the living God, the gift of the Holy Spirit.

00:19:47.000 The down payment is in us now.

00:19:49.000 I feel it in this room.

00:19:51.000 I'm not pretending.

00:19:52.000 Christ is real.

00:19:54.000 The Holy Spirit is real.

00:19:55.000 Yield to no human power.

00:19:57.000 Yield to no human power.

00:20:00.000 Don't trust them.

00:20:02.000 Get used to disobeying authority.

00:20:04.000 Man, even before I found the Lord or the Lord found me, or is such subjectivity even possible in the transcendent, ahistoric, a manifest world of our Holy One?

00:20:13.000 Who knows?

00:20:14.000 Not me.

00:20:15.000 But I'll tell you, I never like being told what to do.

00:20:19.000 I've never trusted authority.

00:20:21.000 It makes me a bad driver.

00:20:23.000 I'll tell you that.

00:20:25.000 Because I think, you know, like, all right, for example, stop signs or traffic lights.

00:20:32.000 These are perfectly reasonable systems in the event of an evident contra flow of traffic.

00:20:38.000 If there's a red traffic light and there's a car coming, he wins.

00:20:41.000 I get the game.

00:20:42.000 I get red, the colour of blood, the color of fire.

00:20:44.000 I get it.

00:20:46.000 But in the event that it's the middle of the night and there's a red traffic light, I'm taking my freedom as an American.

00:20:57.000 Because the world has been captured by evil and they're training you to be obedient.

00:21:01.000 Anarchist calisthenics, I call it.

00:21:04.000 Anarchist calisthenics.

00:21:06.000 Break rules every day just to remind yourself you can.

00:21:09.000 Bow down to the only true authority, not to made-up, phony authorities turn up here telling us what to do.

00:21:16.000 Because here, this is Luke 4, Luke 4, 6.

00:21:20.000 The temptations of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.

00:21:23.000 This is the devil talking right now.

00:21:25.000 I mean, when I read it, not me.

00:21:27.000 I am saved.

00:21:29.000 Although this shirt's pretty diabolical, baby.

00:21:32.000 Hey, my wife got me this shirt. 0.97

00:21:34.000 I love my wife.

00:21:35.000 Oh, man.

00:21:36.000 My ex-wife's parents are here.

00:21:39.000 They're Christians and I love them.

00:21:41.000 I love Mary Perry.

00:21:42.000 God bless you.

00:21:43.000 Thank you for bringing the message to me.

00:21:46.000 I've got to say, though.

00:21:49.000 Look, Katie Perry, I was married to her.

00:21:53.000 I love her still and I'm glad that her mum's in the room to hear me say this.

00:21:56.000 But look, I was okay with Orlando Bloom.

00:22:00.000 But Justin Trudeau!

00:22:05.000 Come on, man!

00:22:09.000 Don't put me in a category with that guy.

00:22:13.000 That globalist stooge.

00:22:20.000 All right.

00:22:21.000 Praise Jesus.

00:22:25.000 Come on, kids.

00:22:26.000 God's real.

00:22:28.000 Right, so listen, this is the second temptation as Luke renders it.

00:22:31.000 And what does Satan, the tempter, say to our Lord?

00:22:34.000 Check this stuff.

00:22:36.000 I will give you, oh man.

00:22:39.000 Oh, no, this is really good, actually.

00:22:40.000 Check this out from it.

00:22:42.000 The Christ I love is the psychedelic Christ, the transcendent yet imminent Christ.

00:22:47.000 The Christ that's beyond reason.

00:22:49.000 The Christ beyond what's able to be known or understood.

00:22:52.000 When they say you will know a peace that passeth all understanding, it doesn't mean a really complex or a really big bit of peace.

00:22:59.000 It means it's beyond the rational mind.

00:23:00.000 It's beyond enlightenment values.

00:23:02.000 It takes humankind and puts us in our rightful place.

00:23:05.000 We are subjects.

00:23:06.000 We are agents.

00:23:07.000 We are not the principal.

00:23:08.000 We are not gods.

00:23:08.000 We are not kings.

00:23:10.000 As soon as people start using reason to determine morality, guess what they reason?

00:23:14.000 They reason they're right.

00:23:16.000 That's what they reason.

00:23:17.000 A peace that passeth all understanding means you will know great peace when you transcend the realm of that which can be measured.

00:23:24.000 He is beyond that.

00:23:25.000 And note in Luke, the devil led him up to a high place, an absolute pinnacle I see that as, and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

00:23:35.000 In an instant, it was outside of time.

00:23:37.000 It was atemporal.

00:23:39.000 Of course, a battle between good and evil personified will take place outside of time.

00:23:44.000 And he said to him, I will give you authority over all the kingdoms of the world, all of their splendor.

00:23:52.000 It has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.

00:23:57.000 If you worship me, it will be yours.

00:23:59.000 Now, our Lord Jesus doesn't say you're not in charge of the world. 0.98

00:24:02.000 That's ridiculous.

00:24:03.000 He says, Yeah, I get it, Matt. 0.97

00:24:04.000 I'm not going to paraphrase Jesus.

00:24:06.000 I'm not there yet.

00:24:07.000 But Jesus answered, It is written, worship the Lord your God and serve him only.

00:24:14.000 He recognized that the prince of this world is the fallen one.

00:24:19.000 Next time you're asking yourself, why is the world like this?

00:24:22.000 Why is there so much confusion and miscommunication and doubt and war and hatred and pain and suffering?

00:24:30.000 It's because the evil one is in charge.

00:24:33.000 Luke 10, 18.

00:24:36.000 Now, I love this because when you found the Lord and when the Lord finds you, you might get a little bit lit up.

00:24:41.000 You can see it in me, can you?

00:24:43.000 I'm all excited.

00:24:44.000 But in the past, I had a tendency to make it about myself, you know.

00:24:49.000 I used to think I was quite important.

00:24:51.000 I'm not important.

00:24:52.000 It's irrelevant.

00:24:54.000 It's irrelevant.

00:24:55.000 There's nothing to attain but him, his glory, his grace.

00:24:59.000 Now, after our Lord has given them the commission to go out and heal, this happens.

00:25:03.000 Luke 10, 17.

00:25:06.000 The 72 disciples, you know, because it was the whole crew, returned with joy and said, Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.

00:25:15.000 Jesus replies, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

00:25:21.000 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.

00:25:28.000 Nothing will harm you.

00:25:30.000 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

00:25:35.000 Why does our Lord mention seeing the fall of Satan in a moment of hubristic glee of the returning disciples?

00:25:42.000 I'd be pretty excited if I just cast out demons.

00:25:44.000 I'd be pretty excited if I conducted miraculous healing.

00:25:48.000 And precisely this excitement, this personalized, egoic, to use a contemporaneous word, individualized sense of pride is what our Lord strongly counsels against.

00:25:59.000 Because as an atemporal being that was there when the Spirit passed over the water, the Word, the Logos, the Word made flesh, was there when Satan fell.

00:26:09.000 And what is Satan's sin?

00:26:11.000 He wants his own kingdom.

00:26:13.000 He wants his own principality.

00:26:15.000 I bid you, turning point, American Fest, this Christmas, to consider the neurological corollary, the circuitry and the synapses when you're trapped in self.

00:26:27.000 Only he can break you out of the false garden.

00:26:32.000 Only he may return us to the new merged kingdom.

00:26:35.000 He saw the inception of the tendency to individuate your will, to replace God's will with your own will.

00:26:45.000 And with a beautiful, synchronous, glorious, symphonic, and educating moment for me.

00:26:53.000 It says here, please transition to questions with Job.

00:26:56.000 Now, in the absence of actual Jesus Christ in the incarnate form, if you get a message saying, bring Jobob on the stage, and you've just said you believe in Jesus, then you better bloody well bring Jobob on the stage, otherwise you're caught in self-will.

00:27:10.000 Now, allow me just to say this one more thing.

00:27:12.000 There are two quotes I want to give you.

00:27:13.000 One is from the British writer, G.K. Chesterton, who is credited with bringing C.S. Lewis, that other great British writer, to the Lord.

00:27:20.000 He said, Christianity has not been tried and found wanting. 0.75

00:27:25.000 It has been found difficult and left untried.

00:27:29.000 We have not yet tried to create the Christian nation that America may yet become. 0.97

00:27:36.000 As an Englishman, as a visitor, I pray that you're able to do it.

00:27:40.000 I pray that you can build a Christian America to be a shining city on a hill, an exemplar for the rest of the world.

00:27:48.000 I pray that in the name of the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit.

00:27:51.000 And if Chesterton is too high for looting for you, let me quote that great American, Rocky Balboa.

00:28:06.000 Played by the immeasurably beautiful and brilliant Sylvester Stallone, who in Ricky, not Ricky 4, I nearly cursed there the first time.

00:28:15.000 Who at the end of Rocky 4 says, if I can change and you can change, maybe the whole world can change.

00:28:24.000 Somewhere between Chesterton and Rocky are our solutions.

00:28:28.000 Thank you for having me, AmpFest, and please, welcome to the stage, JOBO!

00:28:33.000 Do you want to support me?

00:29:42.000 All right.

00:29:43.000 What is going on, Amfest?

00:29:46.000 Guys, Russell Brand is right here.

00:29:48.000 We can do better than that.

00:29:49.000 What is going on, Amfest?

00:29:54.000 So, if you don't know who I am, my name is Job.

00:29:56.000 I'm a comedian.

00:29:57.000 I also host the show Turning Point Tonight on Real America's Voice.

00:30:01.000 I actually got to, I'm not sure if you know this, I got to tour the better part of the last three years with Charlie as an opening act.

00:30:08.000 And a lot of people didn't quite understand why Charlie was bringing a comedian on the road with him.

00:30:14.000 But I think it's because Charlie understood the power of humor in changing the minds, the hearts and minds of especially young people.

00:30:22.000 And so with that, this is either a good or bad idea.

00:30:26.000 They let me curate some questions from our students as a comedian.

00:30:31.000 My first response to your point about humor is C.S. Lewis says that the connection between the holy and humility is humor.

00:30:40.000 We must be able to laugh.

00:30:42.000 Otherwise, I'm English.

00:30:43.000 How am I going to cope with the embarrassment of knowing, you know, I know Candice Owens.

00:30:48.000 I believe her to be a good person.

00:30:50.000 Erica Kirk deserves love and respect and reverence as a grieving widow and endless compassion.

00:30:56.000 I know Tucker Carlson.

00:30:57.000 He's my friend.

00:30:58.000 I love him.

00:30:59.000 Ben Shapiro, I respect him a great deal.

00:31:01.000 I don't know him like super well.

00:31:03.000 I'm English.

00:31:04.000 I could explode with embarrassment without a sense of humor just from the stuff that's happened in this room already tonight.

00:31:09.000 And what we have to find is a kind of unity, not only among conservative pundits, but between Americans everywhere, Republicans and Democrats.

00:31:20.000 These phony false labels, these fake taxonomies have to be put aside if you are going to save your country and the world.

00:31:27.000 And one way to do that might be by laughing about it.

00:31:30.000 I hope so.

00:31:30.000 Otherwise, I'm out of a job.

00:31:33.000 Well, this question is for me because you had brought it up.

00:31:38.000 Your ex-wife is now dating a guy who should be deported, Justin Trudeau.

00:31:45.000 Do you think the way that you've turned out, she actually might be the catalyst for people becoming super-based?

00:31:53.000 You think that Katy Perry, well, she's firstly I will say this, her mother is in the room, and I remained good friends with her father.

00:32:01.000 And Kay Perry, yes, Mary Perry, praise Jesus.

00:32:04.000 I've got nothing but good things to say about Katie Perry, or indeed anybody.

00:32:08.000 Justin Trudeau, on the other hand, oh man.

00:32:11.000 Like, look, the biggest threat to our society are political leaders that have no authentic power, that seem to be operating on behalf of global bureaucracies that seem to get kind of auditioned into political power.

00:32:22.000 We have it in my country, we have it in France, we have it everywhere.

00:32:25.000 We know these are not real political leaders and real political figures.

00:32:28.000 You can see it by looking at them.

00:32:30.000 They are working, they are the operatives of deeper interest, shall we say, whether that's the WEF or the WHO or something more occult that I don't understand.

00:32:38.000 All I've noticed about, well, I will say, look, I'd like to be positive and forgiving and loving.

00:32:42.000 It is a message of forgiveness and loving that I'm here to share.

00:32:45.000 And I will say he's got a nice haircut.

00:32:50.000 Black up less. 1.00

00:32:52.000 Hairdressers more.

00:32:54.000 So our first student curated question, and I'm kind of hoping this doesn't take the whole time because I do think it's interesting.

00:33:01.000 Should I talk quick?

00:33:02.000 No, no, no, no.

00:33:02.000 I can speak up at this.

00:33:04.000 I'm slowing myself down.

00:33:05.000 Because I do think it's fun and interesting.

00:33:07.000 Mark had asked, do you think Jesus had a sense of humor?

00:33:11.000 Yeah, he does. 1.00

00:33:11.000 He's all look how he treats them idiots, like, you know, the disciples. 1.00

00:33:15.000 But, oh my God, have you not understood yet? 1.00

00:33:17.000 Wake up.

00:33:17.000 What are you going to sleep for?

00:33:18.000 I only told you to keep watch for an hour.

00:33:20.000 No, you can't be foreign secretary and home secretary of heaven.

00:33:24.000 It doesn't work like that, John and James. 1.00

00:33:25.000 He's double patient with them idiots. 1.00

00:33:28.000 And every single one of them becomes saints. 1.00

00:33:31.000 That's why I love him.

00:33:32.000 He's here now.

00:33:33.000 But they were like, now listen, I used to want to, like, the reason I couldn't worship Jesus before is because I wanted to be him.

00:33:40.000 Now, I accept the ridiculousness of that.

00:33:42.000 I can't even cope with looking after my own pets and children.

00:33:46.000 But, no, no, I'm still going to go for John the Baptist or St. Paul or one of the lesser disciples.

00:33:52.000 Not Judas, that guy, he was out of control.

00:33:57.000 So obviously, you're an artist and you've been in the creative world for your entire working career.

00:34:02.000 Conservatives have unfortunately lost a lot of ground in the creative space.

00:34:08.000 This question came from Lee at Florida Gulf Coast.

00:34:11.000 How do conservatives reclaim the arts, movie, TV?

00:34:15.000 Realistically, the question I think says, how does realism reclaim the arts?

00:34:19.000 Well, you know.

00:34:20.000 I mean, I should answer this as Jordan Peterson.

00:34:22.000 It isn't obvious to me at all that there's such a thing as conservative art, bucko.

00:34:30.000 I would say, what I would say is the values of conservatism, preservation, traditionalism, individual freedom, family, these are beautiful values.

00:34:41.000 I would not myself claim to be a conservative person.

00:34:44.000 I believe in freedom.

00:34:45.000 I believe in your freedom.

00:34:46.000 I believe in my freedom.

00:34:47.000 And I believe that art, rightly undertaken, is a way of worshiping, revering, and demonstrating God's glory.

00:34:55.000 As Eric Liddell, the Scottish runner, said, when I run, I feel God's joy.

00:35:00.000 Now, we should be in all of our endeavors, whatever we do, doing it with love, not just creativity, painting pictures, singing songs, all of that.

00:35:08.000 I know people that are working in sort of industries of engineering and mechanics.

00:35:12.000 I'm thinking of my neighbor Chance when he mends things, when he repairs things.

00:35:16.000 There's such reverence and love for God in the way that he works.

00:35:20.000 Do everything for God.

00:35:22.000 Like brother Lawrence, the 16th century French monk.

00:35:25.000 And bearing in mind this guy's French, so come on.

00:35:28.000 I'm English, so I'm allowed to dislike, and indeed do no, I love the French. 1.00

00:35:32.000 How can you dislike anyone?

00:35:33.000 He says, I flip my little omelette in the pan for you, Lord.

00:35:37.000 And he says, I live as if only you and I were the only things in the world.

00:35:42.000 As if God and you are the only things in the world.

00:35:44.000 That means every encounter you have, every conversation you have is an encounter with God.

00:35:47.000 Me and Joe Bob, the Lord talking to the Lord.

00:35:50.000 So conservative values are secondary to me to Christian values, and I cannot collapse my Christianity into anything other than devotion to Christ Jesus.

00:36:04.000 This one comes from Bodie at Montana State.

00:36:07.000 You look lovely, by the way, and you're doing a good job.

00:36:08.000 I like your earrings.

00:36:09.000 I love your haircut.

00:36:10.000 And I see why Charlie likes you.

00:36:12.000 You're a good man.

00:36:13.000 Lovely gnashes, good set of teeth, lovely railings with, say, in the UK.

00:36:16.000 Lovely set of railings.

00:36:17.000 You're gorgeous.

00:36:18.000 You're a married man, are you?

00:36:20.000 Yes, sir.

00:36:20.000 Yeah, me too.

00:36:21.000 I'm wasn't coming on to you.

00:36:22.000 I'm steady.

00:36:23.000 I was going to say, I'd like to think the fact that Charlie liked me not for my looks necessarily.

00:36:29.000 May not have been the looks.

00:36:30.000 I don't think he was tuned into that sort of thing, was he?

00:36:34.000 Like, mostly he liked lozenges.

00:36:37.000 That's what I remember.

00:36:38.000 When I last spoke to Charlie Kirk, a time that I now cherish, of course.

00:36:42.000 He seems so in his brilliant intellect, so brilliant in the word, so compassionate in his conversations with people that were different.

00:36:48.000 It's astonishing that anyone could muster up hatred for him.

00:36:51.000 But this is the world that we live in now.

00:36:56.000 To move on, Bodhi from Montana State says, over the last year, have you seen any positive changes in Hollywood and in your profession with actors who are more open as you've become?

00:37:07.000 Mate, I've got to tell you, I'm not in Hollywood.

00:37:10.000 I couldn't be further from Hollywood.

00:37:12.000 I'll never be in Hollywood again.

00:37:13.000 I'm not interested in the arts of deception and false illusion and false idols and celebrity.

00:37:19.000 I'm not in Hollywood.

00:37:21.000 I'm not judging people that are.

00:37:24.000 Like, you know, someone like Chris Pratt, who's all magnificent and able to share the word so beautifully.

00:37:30.000 I'm just saying that for me, the experiences I've had, I can't do it.

00:37:35.000 I can't be around all that.

00:37:37.000 Because, not because I think that I'm a good person, but because I know how fallen and how broken I am.

00:37:43.000 I'm not good with too much stimulation, too much temptation, too much invitation into objectifying people or worshiping money.

00:37:52.000 I'm too weak, I'm too vulnerable.

00:37:54.000 Unless the Lord is in me, I'm in serious trouble.

00:37:57.000 Hey, but I will tell you that this week I'm 23 years clean and sober from drugs and alcohol, one day at a time.

00:38:10.000 And when you unplug from addiction, whatever that addiction is, you have the opportunity to plug into the true source of all power.

00:38:19.000 It took me 20 years, I'm a slow learner, but like once you unplug from addiction or self-obsession, although, you know, I still have that a bit, of course, you are able to receive the true grace, the living water, the holy flow, like golden honey pouring forth from your belly, living springs of wonder and glory in all of us, in all of us, in you.

00:38:38.000 Especially you, Joe Bob.

00:38:40.000 I reckon that's what old Charlie Kirk likes about you.

00:38:42.000 The flowing golden honey from the midriff.

00:38:47.000 I can promise you that is not the case.

00:38:51.000 I'm speaking metaphorically, Joe Bob.

00:38:54.000 Well, I guess to kind of follow up on that personally, what are some practical advice that you might have to somebody who is struggling, not necessarily in the realm of Hollywood, but with addiction and all of this sort of stuff that you've been able to overcome?

00:39:07.000 So glad you asked me, I know the answer to this.

00:39:10.000 If you are suffering from addiction, it means that it's some things.

00:39:15.000 It is a form of forced idolatry.

00:39:17.000 You are blessed if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol.

00:39:20.000 You are blessed because it initiates abstinence.

00:39:25.000 And once you understand abstinence, cutting off from drugs and alcohol, which is difficult, and you won't be able to do it without support, the support of other human beings and the support of initially a God of your understanding.

00:39:35.000 but my prayer would be that that would ultimately become Jesus Christ.

00:39:39.000 You begin to realize that what you've been doing is worshiping.

00:39:43.000 It is worship.

00:39:44.000 You worship yourself.

00:39:47.000 Like the verse I cited, when Satan falls from heaven, he wants to establish his own circuit.

00:39:53.000 Drugs and alcohol are an attempt to sort of foreclose against reality.

00:39:57.000 It's a kind of a peculiar form of self-worship.

00:40:00.000 Now, when you stop drinking and taking drugs, it is anguish, it is agony, and it is despair.

00:40:05.000 But in that despair and anguish, you can, as I said with the Christmas story, when you are down among the animals, when you are broken, when you are lost, that is when you will find him.

00:40:15.000 That is when he will come to you.

00:40:17.000 You are blessed if you have an addiction issue.

00:40:19.000 You need to get the support of 12-step fellowships that are remarkable and incredible.

00:40:24.000 And it's the one thing, actually, Joe Bob, even though I've spoken for quite a long time now, that I actually can help people with.

00:40:30.000 So if you do have addiction issues, tell me, find me on the way out.

00:40:33.000 I'll baptize you right now on the way out of here, and I'll help you one day at a time to find the support that you need.

00:40:39.000 I can do that for you.

00:40:40.000 I'll sit somewhere.

00:40:42.000 Will I, or will I be like trying to stop Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson having a nerd fight?

00:40:48.000 Now listen! 0.97

00:40:51.000 I will give you such a duffer. 0.96

00:40:53.000 Oh my God, honestly!

00:40:57.000 Like Jake, Paul, Anthony, Joshua, pay-per-view, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson.

00:41:03.000 Oh, man.

00:41:06.000 Yeah, if you're a drug addict or an alcoholic, I can, by his grace, I can help you.

00:41:11.000 The way I was helped, the way I was helped.

00:41:19.000 You know, as a guy that makes his living being able to say what he wants to say, in your opinion, what is the biggest threat to free speech right now in the talking space, but also in the entertainment and arts space?

00:41:33.000 Well, I suppose the reason I'm grateful for Ben Shapiro this evening is because one of the great threats is that people don't have the courage and confidence to disagree with one another openly and plainly.

00:41:44.000 That is a great threat.

00:41:46.000 But the single greatest threat to all of our freedom is that there is indeed a global agenda to centralize authority and control.

00:41:55.000 Now, whether or not there are occultist dimensions to that is difficult to corroborate.

00:42:00.000 But you can observe the trend.

00:42:02.000 And the trend is to induce successive crises to legitimize government overreach.

00:42:08.000 That's the trend.

00:42:10.000 It began with the Patriot Act in your country, I think, or at least it was exaggerated.

00:42:15.000 The 2008 crash didn't help us none.

00:42:17.000 And the sad demise of the Occupy movement that could have been a kind of cross-party alliance.

00:42:23.000 What I would say is the biggest threat to free speech is people using compassion to legitimize control.

00:42:31.000 This is what happens when you extract Christ's kindness from the public conversation.

00:42:36.000 You somehow have to embolden some phony state to practice compassion.

00:42:41.000 The government cannot be at the heart of our culture.

00:42:44.000 The government are merely administrators.

00:42:46.000 The church is the heart of our culture.

00:42:48.000 The church is the heart of our community.

00:42:57.000 So the biggest threat of globalism and a globally centralized media, which is collapsing, but there will be attempts to manage and manipulate independent media.

00:43:05.000 We're already in that phase.

00:43:08.000 Out of curiosity, when you look at the Bible, what are you reading right now?

00:43:11.000 Right now, I'm looking at Romans because of that time.

00:43:13.000 This is to honor Charlie Kirk, this whole thing, isn't it?

00:43:16.000 That's why we're here. 0.95

00:43:17.000 And I really want to honor him by being funny and by being silly.

00:43:22.000 Like, because when I met that time at the RNC, Milwaukee, which is the time when he said Romans is the Christian constitution, I was, where with Dan Bongino? 0.55

00:43:30.000 Whatever happened to that guy?

00:43:31.000 I was there with Dan Bongino and God bless you, Dan Bongino.

00:43:36.000 I was with Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk and I was sort of teasing Charlie Kirk and I couldn't tell whether or not if he knew that when I torment people it's my way of sort of showing love.

00:43:45.000 And I was fascinated by his intelligence and I've become subsequently obviously more fascinated by his vast abilities, his ability to render complex information, to align Christian principles with American political.

00:43:59.000 I mean what a skill set.

00:44:00.000 What an unbelievable man he was.

00:44:02.000 God rest his eternal soul.

00:44:05.000 What I'm looking at at the moment right now is this from Romans because I was thinking, you know, you're coming here, you're coming to Amfest, you're going to be talking a bunch, you'll be putting out fires between Nick Fuentes and Candice Emmons and Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson.

00:44:16.000 You'll be advocating for love everywhere you go.

00:44:18.000 What have you got in Romans what Charlie Kirk told you to look at that's going to be of any use?

00:44:23.000 And it says this.

00:44:24.000 This is Romans 13, 11.

00:44:26.000 Now, earlier in Romans 13, there does seem to be advocacy for human governmental authority, right?

00:44:32.000 But I will remind you that Paul wrote that while in prison.

00:44:36.000 So if he was super into human governmental authority, what is he doing in jail?

00:44:42.000 Just a quick, you know, just something to consider.

00:44:44.000 Because I'll tell you why I say that, because I don't like the idea that we're meant to submit to human authority unless it's backed by the Lord.

00:44:52.000 Because I don't trust human authority.

00:44:54.000 I don't trust them.

00:44:55.000 I'll never trust them.

00:44:56.000 That's part of my little message.

00:44:58.000 Anyway, it says here, and do this, understanding the present time.

00:45:06.000 The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

00:45:14.000 The night is nearly over.

00:45:16.000 The day is almost here.

00:45:18.000 So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

00:45:24.000 Let us behave decently as in the daytime.

00:45:27.000 Not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

00:45:33.000 Rather, clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

00:45:41.000 I like that we must awaken now.

00:45:43.000 That's what I like.

00:45:51.000 In kind of the brief remaining time, where do you see the culture going forward from here?

00:45:58.000 Well, the truth is I don't see anything because I'm very, very limited.

00:46:02.000 But what I would suggest is that if we do not embrace the principles of decentralization and subsidiarity, we're going to encounter extraordinary trouble.

00:46:11.000 The trend due to technology, as Breitbart said, who's, let's face it, a person who understands culture, and as Ben Shapiro has said many times, politics is downstream of culture.

00:46:24.000 But all of this phenomena are downstream of technology.

00:46:26.000 Now, the only thing that's upstream of any of that is our divine and holy omnipotent creator.

00:46:32.000 The technology empowers and facilitates mass decentralization.

00:46:37.000 A few years ago, five years ago, ten years ago, you wouldn't have, whether you like them or not, a Nick Fuentes or a Candace Owens or a Russell Brand or a Charlie Kirk because the technology facilitated mass communication.

00:46:51.000 It's my strong belief that centralized authority who were attempting to use this very technology for surveillance and control didn't anticipate the degree to which it will be used to create mass free speech and fragmenting and fracturing political movements.

00:47:07.000 There was a legitimate reason when your country was established to have strong centralized government that was representative.

00:47:14.000 That need becomes less and less with every passing day.

00:47:17.000 The principle should be maximum individual sovereignty, maximum family sovereignty, maximum community democracy.

00:47:28.000 Wherever possible, people should be in control of their own resources, their own lives under God. 0.94

00:47:34.000 We should eat food that we have grown, reared or hunted that's near to where we live.

00:47:39.000 And we should at once oppose ourselves against these centralized and centralizing industries.

00:47:44.000 Big food, big pharma, big agriculture.

00:47:48.000 Before the advent of AI, that dark beast slouching towards Bethlehem is used to facilitate centralization to a terrifying degree.

00:47:58.000 The very technology that may enslave us could liberate us if only, as it says in Romans, we are willing to awaken.

00:48:05.000 If you in particular, the United States of America are willing to do the hard work of having the difficult conversations that are necessary, of affording a place at the table for your enemies, of breaking bread with people you disagree with.

00:48:19.000 Whether I've been glib and flippant about Justin Trudeau, he's a child of God.

00:48:24.000 He deserves love and he deserves respect and he deserves happiness and I pray for that for him.

00:48:29.000 I pray for it for all of you.

00:48:30.000 As long as we're picking favourites, we are not acting like our Lord, for he has no favourites.

00:48:35.000 He loves us all.

00:48:37.000 We are fearfully and wonderfully made from the womb, from the moment of inception.

00:48:42.000 God loves us.

00:48:43.000 God loves us.

00:48:45.000 We must love him as he has loved us.

00:48:47.000 If that means to the point of death, then it must be to the point of death.

00:48:52.000 And my admiration for Charlie Kirk, in spite of the myriad ways that I could pick out of the air to disagree with the man, God rest his eternal soul, is that I strongly believe that Charlie Kirk, had he known that doing what he did for a living and for a vocation would cost him his life and leave his beautiful wife Erica a widow, I believe he would have done it anyway.

00:49:12.000 And it is that I admire above all else and it is that I would seek to emulate and all of us are capable of learning from his example and emulating him.

00:49:23.000 ladies and gentlemen russell brand let's hear for him there was an experiment where two groups of dogs were held in electrified cages Let's call them Group A and Group B, both with five or six dogs in them.

00:49:45.000 Group A had access to a lever that meant they could turn off the electrical current that was running through the floor of their cage.

00:49:52.000 Group B did not have access to a lever.

00:49:54.000 In the end, Group B just lied down and took the shocks of stimulation.

00:49:58.000 The next phase of the experiment, always trust the science, follow the science, is both sets of dogs were placed into cage C.

00:50:05.000 They were subject to electric shocks in that cage, all of the dogs.

00:50:11.000 Now, here was the difference.

00:50:13.000 The cage in the second experiment was only a foot and a half high, and if the dogs wanted to, they could jump out.

00:50:19.000 They could get out of the cage if they wanted to.

00:50:21.000 Group A, that had in the previous cage had access to a lever, all got up and jumped out.

00:50:26.000 Group B, that had never had access to a lever, all just laid down and accepted it.

00:50:30.000 Remember that ultimately all of the information you receive is understood ultimately by you as an electromagnetic signal neurologically.

00:50:39.000 Even this voice now, which is vibration coming in through your ears or the light information that you're receiving through your eyes, is being received electromagnetically neurologically.

00:50:48.000 We are all in a cage where we're being, if not shocked, stimulated.

00:50:53.000 Occasionally you are shocked, but mostly you're in a state of continual stimulation.

00:50:57.000 Add to that that you're eating bad food, you're receiving deceptive information, you're being lied to and controlled continually.

00:51:03.000 The puppy analogy rings terrifyingly true.

00:51:06.000 Some of us have been given access to levers in the past, so we know there's a way out.

00:51:12.000 Other people don't believe there's a way out, so they're lying down and taking it.

00:51:16.000 What I'm telling you, all of you, whether you're in group A or group B, whether you believe it's possible to transcend, to escape, to reach the kingdom, or if you think there's no point, there ain't no point.

00:51:27.000 I'm not just lay down and take the thousand shocks that flesh is heir to, to quote Shakespeare. 0.72

00:51:33.000 The truth is that freedom is possible.

00:51:35.000 But in order to do that, you have to first survive, then escape, then control, then submit.

00:51:40.000 Those are the rules of jiu-jitsu, and those are the rules of life.

00:51:43.000 But that's just what I think.

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

00:51:46.000 You live in a state of continual stimulation, a system that controls the electromagnetic impulses within your body.

00:51:52.000 Your body is a field, not an object.

00:51:55.000 You're not a blob.

00:51:56.000 Your material body is held in a field.

00:51:59.000 How else could it be?

00:52:00.000 How is it that cells know whether they're dental or aural?

00:52:04.000 How is it they know whether they're skeletal or cardiovascular?

00:52:08.000 The cells in your body are guided by a field.

00:52:11.000 All of the information within the cells is activated by an ulterior, evident, present, but less easy to observe set of information that's part of a greater whole.

00:52:21.000 Hey, complicated stuff, but what do you want to do? 0.97

00:52:23.000 Just sit around masturbating. 1.00

00:52:25.000 You can do that also. 1.00

00:52:26.000 It's not an either-or situation.

00:52:28.000 Is it a crime to insult somebody in public?

00:52:31.000 Yes.

00:52:32.000 Yes, it is.

00:52:32.000 And it's a crime to insult them online as well.

00:52:35.000 Yes.

00:52:36.000 The fine could be even higher if you insult someone in the internet.

00:52:41.000 Why?

00:52:42.000 Because in the internet, it stays there.

00:52:45.000 If we are talking here face-to-face, you insult me, I insult you, okay, finish.

00:52:49.000 But if you're in the internet, if I insult you or a politician, that sticks around forever.

00:52:54.000 What is this, Victoria Britain? 0.70

00:52:56.000 You, sir, are rap scallion.

00:53:00.000 Would you mind coming with me, please?

00:53:01.000 I'm going to have to take you to further processing.

00:53:04.000 Well, no, sir, you're a cat, a bounder, a mountebonk.

00:53:10.000 Across the whole Atlantic here in the U.S. of Statesland, familiar voices are cheering Europe on.

00:53:15.000 Guess who?

00:53:16.000 Hillary Clinton has praised the Digital Services Act as a necessary tool for confronting what she describes as disinformation and extremism.

00:53:25.000 She's argued that platforms should be more accountable for the content they allow and has expressed concern over how young people are forming views on issues such as Israel and Palestine.

00:53:35.000 More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media.

00:53:44.000 So just pause on that for a second.

00:53:47.000 They are seeing short-form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing.

00:53:58.000 And that's where they get their information.

00:54:01.000 Her comments align closely with the broader censorship model that's developed in the United States and our country, up oh no, the UK, where government agencies, academic institutions, and large NGOs operate as a kind of distributed authority over digital discourse.

00:54:16.000 Free speech isn't a free fall in Europe.

00:54:17.000 There are two anti-free speech movements that have coalesced.

00:54:21.000 One is in Europe where it has laid waste to free speech. 0.53

00:54:24.000 Germany, France, England, free speech has been eviscerated.

00:54:29.000 And also places like Canada.

00:54:31.000 The U.S. anti-free speech movement began in higher education, then metastasized throughout the government.

00:54:38.000 But this has all reached our shores now.

00:54:41.000 The Berlin World Forum followed the remarks of Vice President Vance on free speech, and the EU was red hot.

00:54:50.000 They gathered in Berlin, and it was the most anti-free speech gathering I've ever been part of.

00:54:55.000 There's only two of us from the free speech community.

00:54:59.000 And they are committed.

00:55:01.000 And, you know, Hillary Clinton was there, and she really fueled the anger.

00:55:05.000 I mean, when Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk, she called on the EU to use the infamous Digital Services Act, which is one of the most anti-free speech pieces of legislation in decades.

00:55:19.000 And she called upon the EU to use the DSA to force the censorship of American citizens, force people like Musk to censor this extraordinary act by someone who was once a presidential candidate in the United States.

00:55:34.000 Taken together, these developments evoke historical echoes that are very difficult to ignore.

00:55:37.000 During the McCarthy era, the United States government justified sweeping investigations and loyalist tests by invoking the need to root out subversion.

00:55:45.000 Senator Joe McCarthy's 1954 hearings targeted individuals for their associations, views, or insufficient enthusiasm for official narratives.

00:55:53.000 There was no formal ban on dissenting speech.

00:55:56.000 Yet the pressure exerted by the state and cooperating institutions chilled public expression.

00:56:02.000 Careers ended.

00:56:04.000 Publications avoided sensitive topics and people learned that the safest approach was silence.

00:56:09.000 We are their children.

00:56:10.000 We are in the cage.

00:56:12.000 These subtle electric currents continually stimulating us into compliance.

00:56:16.000 Unless you know there's a lever, baby.

00:56:18.000 He just wanted people to like him.

00:56:20.000 It's a documentary about me.

00:56:23.000 He would make you feel as if you were the only person that was important.

00:56:28.000 It's an interesting thing.

00:56:30.000 In some ways, he was quite a charming guy.

00:56:33.000 Any man who protects communists is not fit to wear that uniform, General.

00:56:39.000 It's funny because he's really into it, but he's sort of looking down.

00:56:42.000 He's not fit to wear that uniform, General.

00:56:46.000 This was a time when Americans are really worried about their standing against Russia.

00:56:50.000 A growing menace of communism arouses the House of Representatives on American English.

00:56:54.000 Are you now under the direction of the Communist Party?

00:56:58.000 He realized he had a thing going.

00:56:59.000 He found his shtick at last.

00:57:01.000 McCarthy said, well, the way I read our rules, I can investigate anything.

00:57:05.000 The fight will continue, regardless of how rough the opposition gets and rough it will be.

00:57:10.000 But they never proved anything.

00:57:11.000 They just made lots of allegations.

00:57:13.000 He shouldn't be fighting communism, should focus on fighting male-patterned baldness and cultivating that weird horn in the center of his forehead, trying to cover his kind of cover a multitude of sins without any.

00:57:24.000 I will tell you that I will root out baldness.

00:57:27.000 I will use this little strand of inexplicable forehead hair to cover my whole brow.

00:57:34.000 And newspapers kept reporting McCarthy's allegations.

00:57:38.000 He tells a lie, and by the time you've responded to that, he's told three others.

00:57:42.000 But the full papers.

00:57:44.000 We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.

00:57:47.000 Do not confuse me with a bald person.

00:57:49.000 I've got my unicorn wig growing straight from there, covering my whole head.

00:57:55.000 The line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one.

00:57:59.000 And the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.

00:58:03.000 McCarthy did not retreat.

00:58:05.000 He did not apologize.

00:58:06.000 Whenever he was hit, he hit back even harder.

00:58:09.000 It was dramatic television, real-life television.

00:58:12.000 You have this figure at the center of American politics who is reckless, who is destroying lives, who is creating polarization.

00:58:20.000 They're saying that he's Trump.

00:58:21.000 That's what this documentary is trying to do.

00:58:22.000 They're trying to say it's Trump, aren't they?

00:58:23.000 That's what they're doing.

00:58:24.000 Have you no sense of decency, sir?

00:58:28.000 At long last.

00:58:29.000 Have you left no sense of decency?

00:58:40.000 John Six.

00:58:42.000 Of course they're trying to say it's Trump.

00:58:43.000 Notice how contemporary media elects which subjects you apply discernment to.

00:58:49.000 McCarthyism.

00:58:50.000 Be discerning now, 50 years later, now that it's irrelevant.

00:58:53.000 Trump, be discerning, because he happens to be in opposition to some of our cultural interests.

00:58:59.000 COVID.

00:59:00.000 No, actually here, we want fear and power to align England.

00:59:03.000 Do as you're told.

00:59:04.000 Trust the narrative.

00:59:05.000 Friends under the bed.

00:59:05.000 Ah, you could give it to your grandma.

00:59:08.000 Well, communism.

00:59:09.000 Yeah, I don't know either.

00:59:11.000 Earlier, the senator asked, upon what meat does this our Caesar feed?

00:59:16.000 Had he looked three lines earlier in Shakespeare's Caesar, he would have found this line, which is not altogether inappropriate.

00:59:22.000 Because that's what I did. 0.98

00:59:23.000 I looked three lines earlier to see if I could fuck him up, and I did, and here it is. 0.99

00:59:28.000 The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves. 0.98

00:59:33.000 No one familiar with the history of his country can deny that congressional committees are useful.

00:59:38.000 People look up in them days.

00:59:40.000 Hello, it's the old days.

00:59:41.000 Welcome to the news.

00:59:43.000 Thanks for coming.

00:59:52.000 You filthy goddamn communists. 1.00

00:59:54.000 I barely dare look at you. 1.00

00:59:56.000 It is necessary to investigate before legislating.

01:00:00.000 No one knows what they're supposed to be doing.

01:00:01.000 The medium is too new.

01:00:02.000 Hello.

01:00:03.000 As far as a hello, is that you, son?

01:00:06.000 Is this my friends?

01:00:07.000 Hi, thanks for watching.

01:00:09.000 Can you, what?

01:00:09.000 You saw my titty then?

01:00:10.000 Oh, God.

01:00:11.000 Oh, my God.

01:00:12.000 It's Satan. 0.52

01:00:12.000 It's the devil's lantern, I tell you. 0.52

01:00:15.000 But the line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one.

01:00:19.000 You better believe it, baby.

01:00:21.000 And the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.

01:00:25.000 His primary achievement has been in confusing the public mind as between the internal and the external threats of communism.

01:00:32.000 We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.

01:00:36.000 We must remember always...

01:00:37.000 Hey, I like this dude!

01:00:39.000 Accusation is not proof.

01:00:41.000 Say it again.

01:00:41.000 Accusation is not proof.

01:00:43.000 Got it?

01:00:43.000 Accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.

01:00:48.000 Yeah, Edward R. Morrow.

01:00:50.000 We need to look down the barrel a bit more.

01:00:53.000 We've got a future in this industry.

01:00:55.000 We will not walk in fear, one of another.

01:00:58.000 We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine.

01:01:04.000 I've got this magnificent new machine, the teleprompter, where you can appear to be looking down the lens, but actually reading the whole time.

01:01:11.000 Well, that'll never take off.

01:01:13.000 And remember that we are not descended from fearful men.

01:01:17.000 Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate.

01:01:21.000 The fact that the news was quoting Shakespeare, that's some good stuff.

01:01:25.000 That's what we need.

01:01:26.000 We need a little bit of classical high value.

01:01:28.000 I believe it was Milton that said, Paradise Lost.

01:01:32.000 But also, why don't I have a bit of fun as well?

01:01:33.000 Oh, yeah, baby.
