00:00:00.000 I feel like I'm standing on a stage, and it's giving me the chills,

00:00:04.000 and I'm feeling like I'm standing in a cube.

00:00:07.000 I feel like I'm standing on a stage, and it's giving me the chills,

00:00:14.000 and I'm feeling like I'm standing in a cube.

00:01:09.000 I feel like I'm standing on a stage, and it's giving me the chills,

00:01:13.000 and I'm feeling like I'm standing on a stage.

00:01:14.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:01:25.000 Hello there, you Awakening Wonders.

00:01:27.000 Thanks for joining us for Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:01:30.000 Wherever you're watching it, you might be watching it over on YouTube.

00:01:32.000 You can only see the whole show on Rumble.

00:01:35.000 If you are watching this on Rumble right now, click this red button here.

00:01:38.000 I'm estimating this here because obviously I'm in real world.

00:01:41.000 I'm a real world person.

00:01:42.000 For you, there's a red button there.

00:01:43.000 Click it to join our locals community and I'll see all of your comments and stuff like that.

00:01:47.000 Russell, you're fantastic.

00:01:49.000 I made that up.

00:01:50.000 This is what we'll be talking about today.

00:01:52.000 Joe Biden's in Ukraine, that's where he's gone, doing a little bit of dealing.

00:01:56.000 And we'll be asking and demonstrating whether or not Taiwan has the right criteria even to be the next Ukraine.

00:02:03.000 You know, you've got to make sure that the criteria is correct.

00:02:07.000 You're suggesting it is the new Ukraine, then?

00:02:09.000 That's the subtext.

00:02:10.000 Got it.

00:02:11.000 You're bringing the subtext to the text.

00:02:12.000 I just thought I might.

00:02:13.000 That's Tennessee Williams.

00:02:15.000 What if people don't get subtext, Ross?

00:02:18.000 Like your little red button that's not there.

00:02:20.000 Press it! 0.99

00:02:21.000 That's really there!

00:02:22.000 Listen, once we leave YouTube, we're going to be talking to you about natural immunity and if you understand how the YouTube guidelines are formulated, you'll recognise why it is we're waiting until we're exclusively on Rumble to discuss that story because I've got some things to say about natural immunity.

00:02:37.000 I can't say them yet, can I?

00:02:38.000 No.

00:02:39.000 I can't say them!

00:02:40.000 Not even subtext at this point.

00:02:42.000 Hold on.

00:02:43.000 Not even subtext!

00:02:43.000 No, I can't.

00:02:44.000 There's a WHO of bad subtext!

00:02:47.000 W-E-F, they don't like it. 1.00

00:02:48.000 They do not like subtext.

00:02:50.000 They like everything to be nice and clear.

00:02:52.000 Like my bubbly, gargling spit.

00:02:55.000 My ever-foaming mouth.

00:02:58.000 Also, we're doing a wonderful presentation.

00:03:00.000 Did you like that?

00:03:00.000 Very nice.

00:03:01.000 Come on.

00:03:01.000 We're doing this brilliant presentation on how the word freedom is being redefined before your very eyes to mean, I think, fascism or something.

00:03:10.000 I mean, that's literally Orwellian, isn't it?

00:03:13.000 To subvert and invert the meaning of particular words.

00:03:16.000 I hate speech.

00:03:17.000 Yeah!

00:03:18.000 We've got a mystery guest coming on.

00:03:20.000 It was meant to be Christian Smalls. 1.00

00:03:21.000 He might be coming on tomorrow.

00:03:22.000 He's the union leader for Amazon, and ironically, he's not been delivered on time.

00:03:26.000 We don't know where he's gone.

00:03:27.000 Where is he, Christian Smalls? 0.97

00:03:29.000 He was meant to be here.

00:03:29.000 He's the union leader.

00:03:30.000 He hasn't been delivered.

00:03:31.000 Maybe he's round near the bins or something.

00:03:33.000 We left him with the neighbour.

00:03:35.000 Excuse me, did you get a union leader?

00:03:37.000 Oh yeah, they're always dropping news off.

00:03:39.000 Yeah, so hopefully we'll see him tomorrow.

00:03:41.000 But before that, I want to assure you that the system you're living with, within, on Planet Prison Prison Planet, You're fine.

00:03:50.000 You're absolutely fine.

00:03:53.000 Buddhist Abbey loses all of its monks after they all test positive for meth.

00:03:57.000 All of them.

00:03:58.000 Not a single monk in the place.

00:03:59.000 Do you know one of the reasons I didn't become a monk?

00:04:02.000 There's two.

00:04:03.000 And one of them was because you can't do meth.

00:04:03.000 Go on.

00:04:05.000 Right, okay.

00:04:05.000 And then the other one was obvious.

00:04:07.000 And like, I feel like they might as well have been doing that.

00:04:09.000 Look at that.

00:04:10.000 A Thai Abbey's four Buddhist monks.

00:04:11.000 Oh, there's only four of them.

00:04:12.000 Hang on.

00:04:13.000 They've been defrocked, dismissed and sent to rehab after they've all been on methamphetamine when the police sprung them.

00:04:18.000 The monks were then sent to a clinic to undergo drug rehab.

00:04:21.000 And then they're going to be replaced at the temple.

00:04:23.000 I think they were lonely.

00:04:24.000 There's only four of them.

00:04:25.000 I thought it was a whole abbey full of monks.

00:04:26.000 I thought, I got the idea that that was them.

00:04:28.000 That's them all like sort of acting like really spiritual.

00:04:32.000 Actually, they're doing well to sit still like that if they're on meth because it's a very edgy substance.

00:04:37.000 Is my understanding.

00:04:37.000 Sure.

00:04:38.000 Yeah.

00:04:39.000 Not that we're endorsing drugs, drugs are obviously bad for you.

00:04:42.000 Here's the mainstream media news telling you about that stuff.

00:04:45.000 Let's have a look at those guys.

00:04:46.000 This temple in Thailand lost its monks after they all tested positive for meth.

00:04:52.000 The four monks including an abbot all tested positive yesterday and were defrauded

00:04:56.000 I guess you could say I deserve a drug abbot come on

00:05:01.000 They've been transferred to a medical facility for drug rehabilitation

00:05:06.000 But with the temple empty, nearby villagers are worried they can't do any merit-making, which involves... Do you not think that the villagers have lost faith in the entire system?

00:05:15.000 You'd think so.

00:05:15.000 They're like, oh no!

00:05:16.000 What, all the monks are off because they were doing meth?

00:05:18.000 How are we supposed to do that thing that obviously wasn't even working for the people that were most into it?

00:05:23.000 Because the point of being a monk is you give up everything so that God can come completely into you, nothing between you and God.

00:05:29.000 If you're not into it, don't just go like...

00:05:31.000 Hit up some meth, or however you do it these days.

00:05:33.000 And all of them.

00:05:34.000 Every single one of them.

00:05:35.000 It's really caught on.

00:05:36.000 You know the thing we've been doing?

00:05:37.000 Yeah, meditating all the time, letting go of all our desires.

00:05:41.000 Well, I've got another idea, and I think it's better.

00:05:43.000 Talk me through it.

00:05:44.000 It's meth.

00:05:45.000 Okay, it's a bit different from what we were in for.

00:05:47.000 It's in fact the opposite.

00:05:48.000 It's literal dependency on the material and chemical world.

00:05:52.000 I don't know.

00:05:52.000 Hopefully they'll all be all right, those guys.

00:05:54.000 As a recovering drug addict myself, I can offer them a few tips.

00:05:57.000 Although one of the things I would have suggested is go and become a monk, so that's not worked.

00:06:03.000 The Chinese have got this new trick for how to handle protests. 1.00

00:06:07.000 You're going to love this, Gareth, because some people worry that you can't handle disruptions and people holding up placards and all that kind of thing.

00:06:15.000 Well, look at the Chinese. 1.00

00:06:16.000 They've got this new technique that's shielding protesters.

00:06:19.000 Have a look.

00:06:21.000 They also, they get another one in.

00:06:26.000 No!

00:06:28.000 They also...

00:06:29.000 They get another one in.

00:06:30.000 Look out!

00:06:31.000 Urgently, they move.

00:06:32.000 Then another one.

00:06:35.000 When did you see the Chinese moon round?

00:06:45.000 I know they've been sped up so, you know, they're not that quick.

00:06:48.000 It's not like the methamphetamine monks whizzing their way through meditation.

00:06:53.000 The way they hold them belts like that, I think they will be good in a war. 1.00

00:06:56.000 Yeah, I mean, one positive thing you've got to say about totalitarianism is that it's, you know, it looks good, doesn't it?

00:07:03.000 They've got that under control.

00:07:05.000 They really have.

00:07:06.000 Like, if you remove free will from a population, as we are, I think, doing in our own way, what do you think about, like, our kind of Western totalitarianism, where we're sort of blithely subdued by commodity and idiocy, dimly staring at screens till nothing means anything?

00:07:22.000 Over there in China it's a bit more... It's choreographed. 0.83

00:07:24.000 It's beautiful.

00:07:25.000 America's got talent over there.

00:07:26.000 It's enjoyable.

00:07:27.000 It's like the masked singer.

00:07:28.000 The masked protester.

00:07:29.000 Just cover him up.

00:07:30.000 Who's that inside there?

00:07:31.000 Just can't even know.

00:07:34.000 Let's go and see more of what they do.

00:07:39.000 They've nicked him.

00:07:40.000 But you wait till you see... Once they walk off, this guy's already got Stockholm Syndrome.

00:07:47.000 He marches off with them and he's actually quite into it.

00:07:49.000 Have a look.

00:07:52.000 That's playing out in here, you loonies!

00:07:55.000 Leave it! 1.00

00:07:56.000 I've moved on!

00:07:56.000 Stop!

00:07:57.000 I've moved on!

00:07:58.000 I move on fast, don't I, Gal?

00:07:59.000 Very much so.

00:08:00.000 You know that about me.

00:08:02.000 I don't know, the whole show ruined.

00:08:03.000 Or is it? No, Tim, I'll turn on the audio now, don't try and do it now.

00:08:07.000 That's playing out in here, you loonies. Leave it. Stop, I've moved on, I've moved on.

00:08:11.000 I move on fast, don't I, Gail?

00:08:12.000 Very much so.

00:08:13.000 You know that about me, I don't hang on to resentments.

00:08:15.000 I can't afford to.

00:08:16.000 And that's another of the lessons that monks are going to have to learn.

00:08:19.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:08:20.000 Let go.

00:08:20.000 Let it go.

00:08:22.000 Let it go.

00:08:22.000 Move forwards.

00:08:23.000 We've got more information for you about the balloons that have been expensively shot out of the sky.

00:08:29.000 400 grand to shoot a balloon out of the sky.

00:08:31.000 Let's have a look at it on the mainstream news.

00:08:33.000 Apparently, it's just a nice little, like, Christmas balloon or something.

00:08:36.000 It's just something for you.

00:08:37.000 It might have been, well, been a Valentine's heart.

00:08:38.000 It was just a festive item.

00:08:40.000 Let's have a look.

00:08:41.000 Did the U.S. 0.86

00:08:42.000 Air Force just shoot down a party balloon?

00:08:46.000 I gave the order to take down these three objects.

00:08:49.000 He may be able to bring down balloons, but he can't bring down your drug prices.

00:08:54.000 Group of balloon enthusiasts, teens, dads, and grandpas say they believe their $12 balloon, just like the one in this photo... For Joe Biden, that group of men, a sort of young whipper-steppers, is an upstart!

00:09:07.000 Who are these crazy kids releasing balloons in the sky?

00:09:11.000 Oh, you punks! 0.98

00:09:11.000 You punks! 0.98

00:09:12.000 I'll take you down like corn pop! 1.00

00:09:14.000 Corn pop would have been a cheaper way of bringing down the balloon.

00:09:17.000 That's what you do.

00:09:18.000 It's inexpensive to just simply pop a balloon.

00:09:20.000 That is the best way.

00:09:21.000 He should have used his old style skills a little bit, shouldn't he?

00:09:23.000 Yeah.

00:09:24.000 If you're watching this on YouTube, remember, we're going to click over into a rumble.

00:09:27.000 There's a link in the description in a minute because we're going to be talking about natural immunity and Lord alone knows what would happen to us if we tried to discuss that freely on this platform.

00:09:36.000 Hey, so yeah, let's see what's next.

00:09:38.000 What is this game, by the way?

00:09:39.000 Balloon Enthusiasts.

00:09:40.000 Enthusiasts.

00:09:41.000 They're enthusiastic about it.

00:09:43.000 Generational.

00:09:44.000 Generations of balloon enthusiasts.

00:09:46.000 Although I say that there's a drop-off in interest.

00:09:48.000 There's a few elderly, some middle-aged, a couple of youngsters.

00:09:51.000 I'd say 10, 20 years.

00:09:53.000 Also enthusiastic.

00:09:54.000 I mean, I'm, I would say, enthusiastic about balloons.

00:09:56.000 Not enough.

00:09:57.000 Not enough.

00:09:58.000 They're going to a gathering.

00:09:59.000 Sure, sure, yeah. 0.99

00:10:00.000 It's rubbish, that one, though. 0.94

00:10:01.000 That one looks like a Victorian prophylactic. 0.99

00:10:05.000 I would say, doesn't it?

00:10:06.000 It's like a sexual measure.

00:10:08.000 Alright, let's have a look at what's next with these guys.

00:10:10.000 Was the balloon shot down over Alaska by a $400,000 missile?

00:10:15.000 You'd have to say pro rata, that's an expensive solution to that problem.

00:10:20.000 Although, if, you know, all the news that they got out of it, it might have been worth it.

00:10:24.000 Oh, I see.

00:10:25.000 If you think it was a potentially a propaganda- Distraction technique, yeah.

00:10:27.000 One of the things we think is that they were distracting us from that terrible Ohio train wreck and the subsequent environmental disaster.

00:10:34.000 We've got a brilliant presentation about that later in the week and we're trying to get Erin Brockovich on.

00:10:38.000 I really want Erin Brockovich to come on because of the film Erin Brockovich and everything.

00:10:41.000 And what I feel is, have you noticed, and let me know about this in the chat and the comments, particularly for on locals because that's what I'm watching here on locals.

00:10:47.000 In fact, Joe, can you come make it work?

00:10:48.000 It ain't working properly.

00:10:50.000 Like, If you're watching us on Locals, I see all of your comments.

00:10:53.000 Right, what we feel is, like, what troubles me anyway, personally, is the way that environmentalism is used as a kind of calling card, ideologically, to define a political movement, like the Democrat Party.

00:11:05.000 Like, we care about the environment, we care about it.

00:11:08.000 But then when the environment actually really needs a bit of help, look at what Biden's doing, backing Norfolk Southern's bid to block lawsuits.

00:11:14.000 Now, if you really care about the environment, this is an ideal chance to show it beyond rhetoric, isn't it?

00:11:19.000 Yeah, rather than, you know, siding with the corporations, of which, no doubt, I mean, they definitely threw lobbyists' funnel money into the Democrat Party and the Republican Party.

00:11:29.000 I mean, we were told today, weren't we, about 80% of U.S.

00:11:34.000 rivers now are, like, polluted with toxic chemicals.

00:11:36.000 You know, so this isn't just a one-off, oh, God, the Ohio River, you know, what a dreadful situation.

00:11:42.000 This is going on everywhere.

00:11:44.000 You're not surprised that whether it was a distraction or not from these kind of stories,

00:11:47.000 they're not evidently doing what they should be doing.

00:11:50.000 It's a brilliant opportunity, as most news stories are these days, to analyse what the

00:11:54.000 systems of power might actually be like.

00:11:58.000 They use rhetoric to convey an interest in environmentalism, but when the opportunity

00:12:03.000 comes to act on behalf of the environment, they do not take it.

00:12:06.000 Joe Biden will say that his administration will protect American workers.

00:12:10.000 When it comes to paying rail workers, I feel like they're in industrial action in your

00:12:14.000 country America.

00:12:15.000 I know that railway workers in our country are getting shafted real bad.

00:12:18.000 They never take those opportunities.

00:12:20.000 The reporting in The Leather, they're certainly worth taking a look at.

00:12:22.000 They're an affiliate of this show, I'd go so far as to say.

00:12:26.000 Where is the real national security threat?

00:12:26.000 Fantastic, yeah.

00:12:29.000 That's one of the questions we're posing.

00:12:31.000 Are you more at risk from enthusiastic balloons floating across the sky or from serious pollution in your rivers?

00:12:38.000 And as Gareth just told you, 8% of your rivers already have that pollution.

00:12:42.000 It's a really, really worrying story.

00:12:44.000 Biden, though, is in Kiev as he thought Putin could outlast us.

00:12:48.000 In what context does he mean there?

00:12:53.000 Quite a situation.

00:12:54.000 I guess what he's saying is that Putin thought that he'd have this wrapped up a long time ago, but because we keep giving...

00:12:59.000 You know, weapons and arms and aid to Ukraine.

00:13:02.000 We've managed to keep this going.

00:13:04.000 Gareth, you had like a hundred billion dollars in total, but you said that what was the figure for the average U.S.

00:13:09.000 I think you said $806.

00:13:09.000 household now?

00:13:12.000 It's $861 now that this has cost the average American household.

00:13:15.000 That's the average American household. 0.89

00:13:17.000 What worries me about that, I suppose, is it's not like it's going to support Ukrainian troops directly.

00:13:22.000 It's military expenditure, much of which will be for-profit military-industrial complex stuff.

00:13:26.000 They'll be going to Rafi and Lockheed Martin.

00:13:28.000 Northrop Grumman, those guys.

00:13:29.000 Not that they don't do great things like actually build really cool telescopes, I heard the other day.

00:13:33.000 Sure.

00:13:33.000 But in this instance... And that plane, and that missile.

00:13:36.000 We've got this brilliant plane.

00:13:38.000 It's pretty expensive.

00:13:39.000 When we had Seymour Hersh on it, he said that was the first mission that plane had ever done.

00:13:43.000 It's cost billions for him to make it.

00:13:44.000 I think that's that one we've seen skipping about like that, isn't it?

00:13:46.000 That's it, yeah.

00:13:47.000 The one you've seen sort of up on its wrong end.

00:13:49.000 Sort of like farting itself into the sky then scatterbugging off like Clippity Clop's mum.

00:13:49.000 That's it.

00:13:56.000 Mitch, what's old Mitch up to?

00:13:57.000 Mitch McConnell's there, the great dear. 0.99

00:14:00.000 He's like frozen semen, grayly melting down the palm of your hand. 0.99

00:14:06.000 I was thinking of it as an ice cream. 1.00

00:14:08.000 Right.

00:14:09.000 Because that's how we all like to... 0.62

00:14:11.000 Most of us consume semen as a sort of delicacy.

00:14:16.000 What's he got to say?

00:14:16.000 Oh yeah, this is a bit of mainstream news.

00:14:19.000 You know, so right-leaning, mainstream stuff about expenditure in Ukraine.

00:14:19.000 Where's Fox?

00:14:23.000 Check it.

00:14:24.000 We might have to figure out a way to get more funding so that we have enough ammo for ourselves and to give to allies like Craig.

00:14:31.000 What is Biden's responsibility?

00:14:34.000 That bloody television set they've had to get in order to convey how much money's been spent.

00:14:39.000 That's a serious widescreen telling that they've had to use.

00:14:42.000 Some of that budget has been spent on TV sets to get all the zeroes on, to be honest though.

00:14:48.000 There's Putin.

00:14:49.000 Do you want to say something about that?

00:14:51.000 I've got a little fact about me blinking if you want it.

00:14:54.000 How unlike you, Gareth, to startle me with a fact.

00:14:58.000 Tell me about Antony Blinken.

00:15:00.000 I think Antony Blinken's surname describes what he's doing when there's important business going on.

00:15:06.000 He's just blinking all the time while they let balloons out.

00:15:08.000 Antony, are you looking at this?

00:15:09.000 No, not really.

00:15:10.000 I'm busy using my little eyes simultaneously.

00:15:14.000 So he said Wednesday that a Ukrainian attempt at retaking Crimea would be a red line for Vladimir Putin.

00:15:19.000 risks major response so they're kind of admitting this now but in January

00:15:23.000 Zelensky vowed that Ukraine will take back Crimea. So it's just an interesting

00:15:27.000 thing that's going on whilst Joe Biden's over there giving more weapons. It's kind

00:15:32.000 of like they know what Zelensky wants whilst acknowledging how dangerous this

00:15:37.000 would be and yet continuing to supply weapons anyway. It's a strange situation.

00:15:41.000 Yeah it's extraordinary and Putin is not a man to take aggravation lying down.

00:15:47.000 Have you seen this thing where someone comes and stands in front of him in a photo op?

00:15:50.000 Have a look, you'll enjoy this.

00:15:54.000 Very strong bass in that track.

00:15:56.000 And who is this little egghead that's getting in front of him firstly?

00:15:59.000 What's that haircut about?

00:16:01.000 I'm not criticising the person just on the basis of the way that they look.

00:16:04.000 But he looks like he's from 30 or 40 years ago.

00:16:06.000 He looks like he's from the wrong era and his facial expression, I don't know why he wants to be in that photo.

00:16:10.000 And who thinks, like even if you don't know Putin that well, which I don't, I don't know what makes him tick or anything, but I figure that is not someone you stand in front of in a line-up.

00:16:17.000 Why would you do that?

00:16:18.000 I'll get in front of him.

00:16:19.000 He won't mind.

00:16:20.000 He seems, from everything I've heard about his background in the KGB and his willingness to kill his enemies, he's someone that's not going to have an ego. 0.83

00:16:28.000 yeah shifty i call him a shifty little guy

00:16:37.000 guy yeah luckily he's just like reading the vibe of the people either see the

00:16:41.000 side of it going well yes I stand with these guys he's for the left she thought

00:16:46.000 alright no problem here but look at like the person they've got they've got the

00:16:49.000 perfect person lined up to solve this little dilemma Oh

00:16:57.000 yes please well done Well done.

00:17:02.000 Good team, good work team.

00:17:04.000 Yeah, nice.

00:17:05.000 Okay, so while the proxy wars got a bit more complicated now because it's a bit proxy proxy because America is having to fund militarily Ukrainian efforts.

00:17:15.000 But now look, China might start funding Russia.

00:17:20.000 Yeah.

00:17:20.000 So now it's like actual Russian dolls of funding load.

00:17:24.000 They're getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

00:17:25.000 That's right.

00:17:26.000 I mean, who's going to fund China?

00:17:27.000 I know.

00:17:29.000 UFOs that they are balloon enthusiasts.

00:17:33.000 Oh, well, we've decided to, you know, to fund China for a little while.

00:17:36.000 OK, listen, I think we're going to have to... Are we going to click over for a minute, or can we do our Taiwan thing?

00:17:40.000 Let's do our Taiwan thing, and then after that, we're going to have to leave, you guys, if you're watching anywhere other than Rumble, because I'm going to talk about natural immunity, and it's a subject that has to be... Well, it doesn't have to be censored, actually.

00:17:50.000 I don't think it should be.

00:17:51.000 I think you should be able to openly discuss things, because you are a free adult individual with your own divine connection to the limitless.

00:17:58.000 But apparently me and certain other platforms and power structures see things differently.

00:18:03.000 Before we go, we'll just tell you this thing.

00:18:10.000 Is Taiwan the next Ukraine? 0.98

00:18:12.000 We have created a set of diagnostics to help us understand.

00:18:15.000 When we ask simply, is it?

00:18:17.000 Now let's have a look at the first criterion.

00:18:19.000 Right, is it next to a superpower?

00:18:21.000 Yeah, yes or no?

00:18:22.000 Yes!

00:18:23.000 Because China. 0.82

00:18:24.000 So what's the next question?

00:18:25.000 There's some information on it from the great journalist John Pilger.

00:18:28.000 Does a superpower want their land?

00:18:32.000 Yes or no?

00:18:33.000 You can play along at home.

00:18:34.000 Play along in the chat.

00:18:35.000 Come and see if you can beat us.

00:18:37.000 What's the next question?

00:18:38.000 There it is.

00:18:38.000 That's how you define it.

00:18:40.000 Is Taiwan resource rich like Ukraine is?

00:18:43.000 Yes or no?

00:18:44.000 Go on, try and guess along.

00:18:46.000 It turns they are with semiconductors, and don't pretend you know what semiconductors are, because even though you keep hearing it on the news, you still don't know what they are.

00:18:52.000 And if you think you know, let me know in the chat.

00:18:53.000 Go on, tell me in the chat then.

00:18:54.000 It's semiconductors, they make loads of them.

00:18:56.000 Is that it?

00:18:57.000 Have the US been giving them weapons?

00:18:59.000 Oh, is it yes or no?

00:19:00.000 Have they?

00:19:00.000 Yes, they have been doing that.

00:19:03.000 Uh-oh, it's starting to look like how things were in about 2014 between NATO and Russia.

00:19:11.000 Is this going to work out well for everyone in the end?

00:19:14.000 Let's have a look.

00:19:15.000 Yes or no?

00:19:17.000 No, potentially not because what you're doing is you're aggravating a powerful nation that are willing to put placards around you, billboard you out of existence and then march you off into whatever is Chinese for a gulag. 0.61

00:19:28.000 I'm afraid I can't answer that at this point.

00:19:31.000 OK, so it seems like, according to our deep analysis, that Taiwan could be the new Ukraine.

00:19:37.000 But it don't matter what we think.

00:19:38.000 Tell us what you think in the chat and the comments.

00:19:39.000 We're going to flip over now to be exclusively on our home platform, That's Rumble,

00:19:44.000 where we are permitted to speak freely about subjects like freedom, which I believe is freedom

00:19:48.000 for you, freedom for me, freedom for us all to be who we want to be as an individual and as a community.

00:19:54.000 Where we focus on our own spiritual development, not on judging others.

00:19:57.000 Where we recognize that devolution is absolutely what's necessary.

00:20:00.000 Let's get into this natural immunity story without delay.

00:20:05.000 Turns out, right, natural immunity is better than... Are we off YouTube?

00:20:10.000 It's better than taking a vaccine.

00:20:12.000 There, I've said it.

00:20:13.000 It's better than it.

00:20:14.000 It's not just better than taking one.

00:20:15.000 It's better than taking two.

00:20:16.000 It's better than taking any.

00:20:18.000 So if you've got a choice, I don't remember there being big ad campaigns.

00:20:22.000 I don't remember there being... The response to the pandemic, it seems, has potentially caused more harm than coronavirus itself.

00:20:30.000 Certainly, it's difficult to make that analysis because there isn't a parallel universe from which to judge it.

00:20:35.000 But now we're looking at this 30% spike in heart attack deaths.

00:20:40.000 In young people, we're looking at the economic impact of the lockdown, addiction, mental health, cancer.

00:20:49.000 Oh my god, I mean, it's just total chaos.

00:20:51.000 Let's have a look at this natural immunity thing.

00:20:53.000 Immunity acquired from a COVID infection.

00:20:56.000 This is actually just off of NBC though, huh?

00:20:58.000 Yeah, I mean, that's the irony now that NBC are reporting on this and that even NBC can have a Why is that?

00:21:05.000 They shouldn't be allowed to.

00:21:06.000 They ain't no better than us.

00:21:08.000 Why is that? They shouldn't be allowed to. They ain't no better than us. Is it because we ain't got no peacock?

00:21:13.000 The strange thing about it all is that they can change their story and not be, you know, called out on that by

00:21:19.000 YouTube But if you've had a consistent story of questioning these

00:21:23.000 kind of things Right.

00:21:24.000 Questioning Natural Immunity from the start, which a lot of people, you know, as we've spoken about before, the hashtag was banned on Instagram.

00:21:30.000 It was very much in the realm of conspiracy.

00:21:33.000 Now to have something where they're saying not only is it equal to, but better than, and NBC are freely allowed to report on that, it does seem like something nefarious is going on.

00:21:42.000 Complete at this point.

00:21:43.000 At this point, you can't do anything about it.

00:21:44.000 I don't know if the regulations have been changed, meaning you can travel internationally without it.

00:21:50.000 I think that's due to happen.

00:21:51.000 Change it immediately!

00:21:53.000 They instantiated it quick enough, didn't they?

00:21:55.000 They could just bring about the legislation when they needed to.

00:21:57.000 Naturally, it doesn't protect you as well as COVID vaccines.

00:21:59.000 Here's why.

00:22:00.000 That's a story from when the machine wanted that result, November 2021.

00:22:05.000 And now here we are, in reality, immunity acquired from a COVID infection is as protective as vaccination against severe illness and death.

00:22:12.000 Have we got a clip of those people?

00:22:15.000 Let's have a look at this bit of mainstream news talking about it.

00:22:18.000 It's brilliant.

00:22:19.000 In today's Daily Health, there's a new study that looks at our body's immunity after getting COVID.

00:22:25.000 Yeah, it finds the immunity that naturally builds up in our bodies after a COVID-19 infection is as protective as the two doses of the mRNA vaccines against severe illness and death.

00:22:37.000 Oh okay, so you guys are conspiracy theorists right now.

00:22:40.000 I mean this is the way that the narrative is traveling.

00:22:43.000 So what I recommend to you as a discerning and awakening wonder, that's what I'm going to call you, is that you stay present with us.

00:22:49.000 We don't claim to know anything but we do claim to legitimately inquire.

00:22:53.000 We do claim to consider as many sides of the argument as possible.

00:22:57.000 And we do claim to bear our own interests and biases in mind as we embark on this journey in good faith with open hearts together.

00:23:06.000 And frankly, it's lucky that our hearts are functioning at all!

00:23:09.000 Some of the things that have been recommended these days!

00:23:12.000 The strange thing about that clip for me, well not the strange thing, but the odd thing is that they introduce this item and talk about natural immunity as if it's something that nobody has ever heard of that before and this hasn't been a massive divisive point all the way through the pandemic.

00:23:25.000 There's this new thing called natural immunity.

00:23:29.000 It once was the enclave of only crackpots.

00:23:33.000 Another thing is that mRNA protein spikes may leave the site of the injection and migrate to other tissue, like your heart, causing myocarditis and pericarditis.

00:23:47.000 Well, we know that they are already kind of saying things like that.

00:23:50.000 Oh no, we have this from Politico.

00:23:52.000 Data has shown an elevated risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, inflammation of... after the second mRNA vaccine dose among males aged 12 to 39, with those in their late teens and 20s most affected.

00:24:05.000 That sounds a little similar to...

00:24:07.000 It's very interesting that the group affected by myocarditis and pericarditis co-align beautifully with that 30% spike in people dying of heart disease.

00:24:16.000 Listen, should we have a look at a presentation that we've worked very hard on together as a team?

00:24:22.000 This is fantastic.

00:24:23.000 One of the ways that our environment is shifting, altering, is through the use of language.

00:24:28.000 You may have seen elsewhere this fantastic story that the word Freedom is being reframed in order to make it a kind of forbidden piece of language so that the idea, the concept of freedom, which I would say is absolutely universal, that we have our rights to individual freedom, it's enshrined, I think, in your constitution, and collective freedom.

00:24:48.000 If you make the term freedom Here's the news!

00:24:51.000 term that's somehow laden with far-right meaning, that's what's being suggested,

00:24:55.000 then obviously freedom movements become, well, what's next?

00:25:00.000 Freedoms for terrorists or something like that? Have a deeper look at

00:25:03.000 that with us right now in our presentation. Here's the news. Oh no, here's the effing

00:25:09.000 news mate.

00:25:10.000 According to a new report, the word freedom is racist.

00:25:19.000 And people that want to be free are racist.

00:25:22.000 Even if those people are multiracial and want all people to be free. 1.00

00:25:26.000 The bloody racists. 0.65

00:25:29.000 Have you seen that the word freedom is now being repackaged as racist at a time that the Democrat Party is becoming increasingly elitist and using subjects like diversity to mask lobbying and corporate interests? 0.95

00:25:42.000 Just to let you know where I stand right from the very top, for me, freedom means you're right as an individual to be the person that God or the universe Intended you to be, beyond culture, beyond religious orthodoxy, beyond race, your right to be you, your right to your freedom.

00:26:00.000 Not your right to tell other people what to do, from whatever perspective.

00:26:03.000 And I believe in your freedom of expression, whether that's on the right or the left.

00:26:07.000 As long as your freedom of expression doesn't involve oppressing others, I believe in your freedom.

00:26:12.000 Just to make that absolutely clear from the top.

00:26:14.000 Now then, Let's see how language is being manipulated to grant more power to already powerful establishments and to prevent dissent.

00:26:23.000 Those are two vital jobs.

00:26:24.000 Undermine and smear dissenters and ossify centralised power.

00:26:28.000 Check this out from a CBC article last year.

00:26:30.000 As demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions continue across Canada, the word freedom is on the lips and placards of many protesters.

00:26:38.000 Yeah, why could that be?

00:26:39.000 Almost like they want freedom and feel like their freedom is being shut down by a raft of new laws that have come from a centralised authority that no one voted for.

00:26:46.000 Almost as if there was an attempt to apply an emergency act illegitimately.

00:26:50.000 Often associated with protests and rallies in the United States, the term has taken hold among protesters who are part of the Freedom Convoy.

00:26:56.000 For many, freedom is a malleable term that's open to interpretation.

00:27:00.000 All words are open to interpretation.

00:27:01.000 You can start breaking down words.

00:27:03.000 You know, misinformation, malinformation, disinformation.

00:27:05.000 Where did those words come from?

00:27:06.000 What do they mean?

00:27:07.000 Whose misinformation?

00:27:08.000 Is there such a thing as objective, meaningful words?

00:27:12.000 We're in a sort of territory of post-modernity and post-structuralism now, but I would argue that this is a bad faith argument.

00:27:18.000 That, for example, those Canadian truckers, when talking about freedom, and most people now, when they're talking about freedom, mean this.

00:27:24.000 I want to be left alone.

00:27:25.000 I want to be left alone by the government, and more importantly, by centralised, globalist organisations that have never been elected anyway.

00:27:33.000 That's what freedom means.

00:27:34.000 To see the word freedom bandied about as part of these protests points to a broader circulation of what Elizabeth Anker calls violent forms of freedom.

00:27:42.000 We're just tired to give up violent freedom.

00:27:43.000 By the way, if anyone said, I want to be free, I want freedom, and I asked, oh, what kind of freedom do you want?

00:27:48.000 Freedom to be horrible and racist and to persecute people.

00:27:51.000 Oh no, that's not freedom.

00:27:52.000 I'm not backing that.

00:27:53.000 Let me be clear.

00:27:55.000 Let me use language deliberately and specifically.

00:27:58.000 But if people say, by freedom, I want to live as I am, I want to be free from government intervention, I don't want to live in a corporatised world where there is no democracy, where I can't leave my house, where I can't work at my job, then I would advocate for that freedom.

00:28:11.000 Similarly, freedom to express yourself however you want to, to be spoken to using language that suits you and your identity?

00:28:19.000 Cool!

00:28:20.000 Freedom is an absolute concept as far as I'm concerned, and this is a nefarious argument that's being used to shut down legitimate protest by working people.

00:28:29.000 This is a trend that's been happening for the last 30 or 40 years.

00:28:32.000 There is no representation of ordinary people in countries like Canada, the United States of America, presumably France, presumably elsewhere.

00:28:39.000 I know for sure in my country, the United Kingdom.

00:28:41.000 Because the parties that used to be about representing ordinary people, what used to be regarded as the left, have become increasingly professional.

00:28:49.000 Increasingly dominated by the same financial, corporate and military interests that have always been associated with a particular brand of politics.

00:28:56.000 Let me know if you disagree on the left.

00:28:57.000 I'm referring to Cheney, Wolfowitz, old-school, rand, think-tanks, let's-go-to-war-and-make-a-profit parties, are now both political parties in America, for example, and in my country, the UK.

00:29:07.000 Both parties represent ultimately elitist interests and will not stand up for the rights of ordinary people against centralized, globalist, corporatist interests.

00:29:16.000 Freedom is a slippery concept, said Anka.

00:29:22.000 Yeah, in the wrong hands it is.

00:29:23.000 But in the right hands, freedom means you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone, we'll come together and cooperate where necessary, which could be quite a lot.

00:29:30.000 Because a lot of people think, and I'd have to include myself here, that these arguments around supporting diversity are often actually a mask to underwrite and advance corporate interests.

00:29:42.000 And we've got a fascinating example of that exact thing coming right up.

00:29:45.000 Because diversity is important.

00:29:47.000 Respecting people's identity, culture, religion, race, those are important things.

00:29:50.000 That is part of freedom.

00:29:52.000 And anyone that denies that, any aspect of it, I'm not in the argument with you.

00:29:56.000 I stand with anyone that's standing up for their freedom.

00:29:58.000 But also, working class people of any colour that are trucking across Canada, they want freedom too.

00:30:03.000 Yeah, they should have it.

00:30:04.000 Farmers in Sri Lanka, they want freedom.

00:30:06.000 Yeah.

00:30:06.000 Farmers in India, yeah.

00:30:08.000 Farmers in Germany, the Netherlands.

00:30:09.000 Have you noticed that working people across the world are starting to be negatively affected by centralist, globalist, corporatist interests and there is no movement to represent them?

00:30:20.000 Why is it that there are now no parties that represent the interests of ordinary people?

00:30:24.000 Here's an article about an interesting demographic shift that could help explain that.

00:30:27.000 The rise of college educated Democrats.

00:30:30.000 In the last 15 years, the Democratic Party coalition has undergone a dramatic demographic change.

00:30:34.000 The white share of the party are far more likely to be college educated than in the past.

00:30:38.000 In 2020, for the first time on record, the college educated white share, 27% of the Democrats, exceeded that of non-college educated whites, 25%.

00:30:47.000 Those with a college education tend to be wealthier and have higher socioeconomic status than those without.

00:30:52.000 But they also tend to be more socially liberal and more likely to prioritise post-material moral concerns over kitchen table issues.

00:30:59.000 Essentially what that's saying is that the Democrat party has now become a party that's more interested in postulating rather than dealing with economic inequality that affects guess who's more affected than any other group by economic inequality?

00:31:13.000 Oh, the very people that you claim to care so much about.

00:31:15.000 So ultimately there's been a cultural and demographic shift within the Democratic Party that means that they're no longer interested in addressing inequality.

00:31:23.000 If you don't have a political party that's addressing inequality, and I mean economic and social inequality, then what you'll get is a cry, a void, a need, For those concerns to be addressed, for those needs to be met, the Democrat Party aren't going to do it, the Republican Party ain't going to do it.

00:31:37.000 You're just going to end up with demagoguery, pedagogy and rhetoric around those subjects with no one making meaningful moves to help ordinary Americans, ordinary Canadians, ordinary people from all over the world.

00:31:47.000 That's where I start to believe that we have more in common with one another than we do with the centralised systems, whether they're corporate or governmental, that prevent these kind of conversations or political movements taking place.

00:31:58.000 Let me know what you think about that.

00:31:59.000 Perhaps one of the reasons is they're more interested in symbolic displays of helping people than actually getting on and helping people.

00:32:06.000 They have become masters of finding ways of pretending to address those issues while actually carrying on with business as usual.

00:32:14.000 Look at this example.

00:32:15.000 Christina Antelo, a corporate lobbyist known for her reach within the Democratic Party, held court last month at a gala where her clients and other lobbyists rubbed shoulders with lawmakers and congressional staff.

00:32:26.000 Such a scene would be familiar to anyone who has spent significant time on Capitol Hill.

00:32:30.000 Lobbyists host parties and fundraisers on a nightly basis in order to forge connections with policy makers, gather political intelligence, and nudge politicians into actions that benefit their clients.

00:32:42.000 But this time the influence effort was branded as a righteous celebration of racial progress, exploiting the cultural emphasis of liberal institutions to lobby on issues that have nothing to do with increasing diversity.

00:32:54.000 So they're pretending that the event is about helping diversity, increasing diversity, supporting people that may not have conventionally been supported by their establishment to just carry on with corporate lobbying.

00:33:05.000 It was a night to welcome and celebrate diversity in the 180th Congress.

00:33:09.000 The event was titled Diversity Across the Aisle, featuring a dozen sitting members of Congress and many staff members.

00:33:15.000 The lobbying shop, Ferox Strategies, currently represents a range of interests including Walmart, Reynolds American and Eli Lilly and Company, pharmaceutical companies and retail giants with incredible profits and incredible power.

00:33:29.000 Lobbying for what?

00:33:30.000 More diversity?

00:33:31.000 To end inequality?

00:33:32.000 Economically?

00:33:33.000 Racially?

00:33:33.000 Culturally?

00:33:34.000 Let's have a look.

00:33:35.000 In one photograph from the event, Irene Bueno, a lobbyist for Pfizer and Comcast, huddles with staffers to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

00:33:44.000 Well, to be fair to Pfizer, they don't care about race.

00:33:45.000 They'll stick a vaccine in an arm of any colour.

00:33:48.000 So this is an example, I would say, of illegitimate, demonstrative, but not authentic use of diversity with no intention of aiding or helping the necessary issues that ought be addressed, but simply to create lobbying opportunities.

00:34:03.000 Ferox Strategies stands out as one of an emerging set of influence agents that have exploited the appetite for virtue signalling around diversity to push policies benefiting their clients.

00:34:13.000 The firm often flaunts its access to identity-based organisations in Congress to leverage client relationships, Many people think, for example, that ESGs that the WEF recommend are not about helping the environment, simply are about ensuring that establishment power has new ways to hold on to that power.

00:34:32.000 New ways to appear to be addressing problems, while really it's business as usual.

00:34:36.000 Let me know in the comments and chat.

00:34:37.000 Do you think that these groups genuinely care about diversity?

00:34:41.000 Genuinely care about helping people that are disadvantaged, either economically or because of long-standing cultural issues?

00:34:46.000 Or do you think they care about increasing the profits of Walmart, Pfizer, Comcast, Eli Lilly, let me know in the chat.

00:34:52.000 In its message to clients sent after the event, Ferox bragged about using the diversity as a way to ingratiate its corporate clients with democratic leaders.

00:34:59.000 Ferox clients, Walmart, Alexian, and Waste Management joined a who's who of corporate sponsors to generously celebrate the most diverse Congress ever.

00:35:09.000 The message noted.

00:35:10.000 How diverse is it when it's contributing to a massive wealth transfer of five trillion during the pandemic?

00:35:16.000 Those wealth transfers do not diversify wealth and opportunity.

00:35:19.000 They consolidate it and concentrate it.

00:35:21.000 And events like this distract us from that fact.

00:35:24.000 The invitation for the event included the LGBT Congressional Staff Association,

00:35:28.000 the Black Women's Congressional Alliance, the Congressional Asian Pacific American Staff Association,

00:35:32.000 and other identity-based professional societies for Capitol Hill staff.

00:35:36.000 The largest race-based congressional caucuses each have sister non-profit groups

00:35:40.000 that are funded and led by corporate lobbyists.

00:35:43.000 Obviously, they're simply exploiting an opportunity to con- It is so exciting and I just can't hide it.

00:35:51.000 I'm about to gain control.

00:35:53.000 and I think I like you.

00:35:54.000 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this.

00:36:06.000 According to a new report, the word freedom is racist.

00:36:08.000 According to a new report, the word freedom is racist.

00:36:10.000 Society do not want race happily. 0.96

00:36:12.000 Obviously, they're simply exploiting an opportunity to continue with their agenda as they have always done.

00:36:18.000 I believe the issues that they're pretending to care about are important issues.

00:36:22.000 And if these issues were correctly addressed, along with all inequality, most notably economic inequality, you would see real change in society.

00:36:30.000 Real change in society means diminishing the potential for the powerful to continue to operate within systems that always prefer their desired outcomes.

00:36:40.000 That change can never be allowed.

00:36:42.000 The system will always happily make gestures.

00:36:44.000 The system will always happily fund jamborees and galas that don't change anything and provide opportunities for Walmart.

00:36:50.000 What we need is legitimate change, legitimate alliance, legitimate care and love that looks beyond identity and cares truly and authentically about all of our feelings.

00:37:00.000 The advisory board to the CHCI, for instance, features representatives from JPMorgan Chase & Co., Mastercard, ExxonMobil, Apple, Airbnb, DeVita, Toyota, Reynolds American, Microsoft, and New York Life Insurance, among other interests.

00:37:15.000 Those kind of corporations with that kind of power do not want radical reorganization of society, do not want radical reorganization of profit, do not want the disempowered empowered.

00:37:24.000 What they want is the appearance of change, business as usual.

00:37:27.000 Last month, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Xavier Bequerra, appeared with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to swear in its first year class of nine new members.

00:37:37.000 The event featured live music and a message from Jeffries.

00:37:39.000 But before Bequerra could administer the oath, Marco Davis, the president of the CHCI, paused the program to thank the sponsors of the swearing-in ceremony, including Genentech, Google, Amgen, Walgreens, and Target.

00:37:51.000 We must have equality between Google, Amgen, Walgreens, and Target.

00:37:56.000 Are we not all the same?

00:37:57.000 Do we not all need iPhones?

00:37:59.000 Do we not all want Walmart to succeed at any cost, paying people the minimum amount possible, extracting as much profit from America, insuring through lobbying that democracy becomes an empty, hollow shell?

00:38:11.000 And if in order to maintain this appearance of a system that meaningfully represents people, Once in a while, we have to promote a person who looks a bit different from most powerful people.

00:38:20.000 By God, we'll do it.

00:38:21.000 Now, here's some people that look a bit different from most powerful people, but ultimately, their elevation, temporary, will not make any difference to the interests of Walgreens.

00:38:29.000 Apple.

00:38:30.000 Ah, I promised myself I wouldn't cry.

00:38:32.000 Ah, Walgreens.

00:38:33.000 Walmart. 0.99

00:38:34.000 Dammit, we must build a better, more profitable world. 0.99

00:38:37.000 He then handed the microphone to Omar Vargas, the head lobbyist for General Motors. 0.99

00:38:42.000 At General Motors, we do not discriminate against anybody.

00:38:46.000 And on occasion, when knowing there was something wrong with our vehicles, when it was discovered the callback cost was more expensive than the insurance payouts, we just let those people blow up and die.

00:38:56.000 That is the kind of ethics we want.

00:38:58.000 Here are some people of a variety of colors and identities who we would let blow up if we could make money from it. 0.99

00:39:04.000 Now please enjoy the free bar, which is tax deductible.

00:39:07.000 To be very honest with you tonight, said Vargas, General Motors and I are personally extremely committed to diversity in the public policy profession.

00:39:15.000 As long as it makes no difference to profits.

00:39:17.000 If you had a political party that genuinely cared about helping ordinary people, the kind of policies that you'd hear them talk about would be ending lobbying, Not finding new, novel ways to do it.

00:39:26.000 Stopping people in Congress owning stocks and shares in the companies that they regulate.

00:39:30.000 Stopping enormous expenditure on wars that ultimately end up in the hands of the military-industrial complex.

00:39:35.000 And ensuring that big companies in energy, for example, couldn't extract enormous profits while saying that there's an energy crisis.

00:39:41.000 Also what they might do is this.

00:39:43.000 They might stop the annual wage theft of $50 billion that happens to workers based on this story.

00:39:48.000 Employers steal billions of dollars from workers every year by paying less than minimum wage, making employees work off the clock, Not paying earned overtime, misclassifying workers as independent contractors and more.

00:39:58.000 While wage theft is all too common, it is rarely reported.

00:40:01.000 As a result, stolen wages are rarely recovered, leaving already low-wage workers even poorer and bosses even richer.

00:40:07.000 That is the kind of thing that, if addressed, would make a meaningful difference to the interests of ordinary people and would negatively impact the interests of powerful institutions, whether they are corporate or governmental.

00:40:17.000 So when people talk about the freedom is a dubious term, What they're attempting to do is prevent galvanisation.

00:40:24.000 Prevent people coming together, of all races, of all colours, with a wide range of interests, that all ultimately could sit within the framework of a popular movement where we all enjoy more freedom, where we all enjoy more access to resources, and more importantly, democracy.

00:40:37.000 Sometimes life does involve suffering.

00:40:39.000 Sometimes life does involve sacrifice.

00:40:41.000 But what it needn't be about is increasing centralisation.

00:40:45.000 Increasing institutional power, increasing surveillance and digital IDs, increasing bigotry and hatred of people of all hues and colors, turning people against one another in order to simply ensure that systems can continue to operate as they currently do for maximum profit and power without any concern for the impact it might have on you.

00:41:02.000 But that's just what I think.

00:41:03.000 Let me know what you think in the comments in the chat.

00:41:04.000 I'll see you in a second.

00:41:05.000 Thank you for choosing Fox News.

00:41:07.000 Good day.

00:41:08.000 No. 1.00

00:41:08.000 Here's the fucking news. 1.00

00:41:11.000 Bob303 goes, I want freedom to not buy bombs with my tax money. 1.00

00:41:16.000 Oh, very good.

00:41:17.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:41:20.000 777 Lionheart, WF are just foot soldiers for the elites.

00:41:22.000 Caribbean, we need a human party. 0.91

00:41:25.000 Casper14091990, the government should fear the people, not the other way around.

00:41:29.000 Hunter Biden, I'm not going to read out your name, you know that.

00:41:32.000 Actually, I can read that name.

00:41:33.000 Hunter Biden likes crack 2022 because we were on Rumble.

00:41:36.000 Right.

00:41:37.000 Gaz needs a hat.

00:41:39.000 I suppose you, they mean.

00:41:41.000 And then Dark Dev says YouTube just cut out as soon as you mentioned natural immunity.

00:41:44.000 Yeah, that's because we click off as soon as we get into subjects that are going to be censored on that platform, even though that was a mainstream media news report.

00:41:53.000 And now there are official studies that state that natural immunity is more effective than vaccines, but the YouTube regulations do not acknowledge that.

00:42:03.000 And that's why we're here.

00:42:04.000 This is why this is our home.

00:42:06.000 This is why we're on that platform.

00:42:07.000 This is why we want you to join local, so you can join the conversation with us now.

00:42:11.000 This is why we insist on having guests who, like us, are pro-truth.

00:42:16.000 This is why I'm proud to introduce as our guest now, news editor at antiwar.com and friend of the show, Dave DeCamp.

00:42:24.000 All right, Dave.

00:42:25.000 Hey Russell, thanks for having me back.

00:42:27.000 Thanks for coming on our last minute after Christian Smalls, Amazon union leader, didn't get delivered.

00:42:32.000 We still think he might be next door at any moment.

00:42:34.000 He could turn up as a surprise package.

00:42:36.000 In fact, we're hoping to get him on the show tomorrow, but we're thrilled to have you on, particularly with a few very pertinent questions to ask you.

00:42:44.000 Firstly, I understand you went to that anti-war rally yesterday in Washington DC and there were balloons floating about.

00:42:50.000 Were people terrified at the potential that that balloon could spy on them or drift into

00:42:55.000 them, maybe brush past them and cause static?

00:42:57.000 Yeah, I did see a few F-22s flying around.

00:43:01.000 They might have spotted some balloons, but the rally was really great.

00:43:05.000 It was the Rage Against the War Machine rally, and it brought together people from all over

00:43:09.000 the political spectrum, which is, you know, our whole thing and antiwar.com.

00:43:13.000 I was organized by the Libertarian Party and the People's Party.

00:43:16.000 Speakers included Jimmy Dore, who I know was on here to promote it, and Ron Paul, which was really amazing, Chris Hedges, our guy Scott Horton, just a whole list.

00:43:26.000 Max Blumenthal, Dan McKnight, just a great lineup.

00:43:30.000 I mean, I'm missing a lot of people because there were so many speakers.

00:43:34.000 And it was a good showing.

00:43:34.000 There was a few thousand estimates I saw were between three and four thousand, which is good.

00:43:39.000 You know, we hope for more next time, but I think it's a good start.

00:43:42.000 It's the first kind of rally of its kind during this current, you know, proxy war in Ukraine that brought together, again, everybody from the political spectrum.

00:43:51.000 And they got the big names and they spoke at the Lincoln Memorial, which was really great to see.

00:43:55.000 And then they marched to the White House and there was more speakers there.

00:43:59.000 It was really just a good showing.

00:44:00.000 And again, seeing the libertarians and the leftists and the conservatives just all mingling and talking, that was what made me really happy to see that they could get together on that.

00:44:10.000 And I was there with my son, who's 15 months old.

00:44:13.000 He just started walking, so my attention was focused on that.

00:44:17.000 I wanted to write up kind of like a proper report on it, but I had a great time.

00:44:20.000 It was great to meet people there, and it really invigorated me, you know, gave me some new motivation.

00:44:25.000 I've got some pitches now for your son's autobiography if he goes on to be a significant public figure.

00:44:31.000 March, before I could walk, my first steps in the activist movement.

00:44:35.000 No need to thank me, Dave!

00:44:36.000 That's completely free, you can have that.

00:44:38.000 Meanwhile, over in the... And also, by the way, those kind of political alliances that are forming, libertarians on the right, they're interested in individual freedom.

00:44:46.000 People to the left of the Democrat Party who are interested in collective community freedom and the empowerment of communities rather than centralized government, devolution and decentralization, individual freedom.

00:44:57.000 These are the banners and flags that we can all march under together, I reckon.

00:45:02.000 Meanwhile, in that not a proxy war, Isn't it hotting up a bit, mate?

00:45:07.000 Because Zelensky does say that it's part of his plan to take Crimea.

00:45:11.000 Zelensky has said that he never planned to honour the Minsk agreement about what's going on in Donbass.

00:45:17.000 And also, isn't it pretty clear that if Crimea gets taken, we might all find ourselves in a terrible pickle nuclear Armageddon-wise?

00:45:27.000 Yeah, and there's a few interesting points there when it comes to Crimea.

00:45:30.000 So last month in January, there was a report in the New York Times that said the Biden administration was considering helping Ukraine attack Crimea, said they weren't concerned about escalation.

00:45:40.000 And this is just based on the fact that Putin hasn't used the nuke up to this point.

00:45:44.000 That's all they're basing this on.

00:45:45.000 Oh, he hasn't done anything yet.

00:45:47.000 You know, we don't have to worry about it, which is really unbelievable.

00:45:50.000 And they quoted somebody in there from the Rand Corporation.

00:45:53.000 If you're familiar with that think tank, you know, they're funded by the U.S.

00:45:56.000 military.

00:45:57.000 They've been shaping U.S. 0.87

00:45:58.000 foreign policy for decades.

00:46:00.000 And she said, oh, Putin, he hasn't really done anything big in response to attacks on Crimea.

00:46:04.000 But that's not true.

00:46:05.000 In October, if you remember the truck bombing of the Kerch Bridge, which connects Crimea to the Russian mainland.

00:46:11.000 After that is when Russia started the large-scale bombing of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leaving millions of Ukrainians without power.

00:46:18.000 The fact that she says that and the New York Times reports it that way, oh, they haven't done anything.

00:46:22.000 It shows they don't care about Ukrainians.

00:46:24.000 They're suffering much more.

00:46:26.000 Shows how dislocated are from the consequences of their actions.

00:46:30.000 For the Ukrainian people, the loss of that energy was a pretty significant loss and a pretty considerable exacerbation in the conditions they're living under.

00:46:38.000 And of course, we remember that bridge bombing because I feel like British special forces were significantly involved in enacting it.

00:46:46.000 Remember it?

00:46:47.000 By Jove, we did it.

00:46:48.000 That's the British response to that line of inquiry.

00:46:53.000 So, what other developments around Crimea are you going to tell us about, mate?

00:46:58.000 Yeah, well, so recently last week, Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State, he acknowledged that taking Crimea would be a red line for Putin, which, you know, we've been saying all along and people call us Putin apologists for that.

00:47:10.000 But here's Blinken saying it.

00:47:12.000 And there's also been other indications.

00:47:13.000 The Pentagon briefed Congress and said they're not going to be able to retake Crimea.

00:47:17.000 It's unlikely.

00:47:18.000 A lot of U.S.

00:47:19.000 officials have been saying this.

00:47:20.000 And then you have the Ukrainians still saying that they're going to retake the peninsula.

00:47:23.000 But I think behind the scenes, the U.S.

00:47:25.000 telling them, you know, focus on this other territory for now that, you know, they want

00:47:30.000 to push this offensive over the next few months to retake other territory that Russia controls.

00:47:35.000 And there's talks that the U.S. is saying, there's reports that this aid isn't going

00:47:39.000 to last forever.

00:47:41.000 They don't believe that they can get these huge aid packages anymore when this latest

00:47:45.000 one is exhausted, which should be by the summer.

00:47:47.000 They're going to spend all of it.

00:47:50.000 But then you see Biden flying to Kiev today, or however, he maybe he went on a train.

00:47:55.000 I'm not sure how he got in, but to show Zelensky, you know, that support from the US.

00:48:00.000 And I think that's pretty big symbolic when it comes to the proxy war, the president of the United States entering a war zone.

00:48:07.000 But maybe behind the scenes, you know, in private meetings, he's telling them, all right, you know, this this aid spigot isn't going to be open forever.

00:48:14.000 You got to start gaining some territory, which is what the US wants them to gain territory and then negotiate.

00:48:20.000 But Russia has been building up its forces for months and months, and they're starting to gain territory.

00:48:25.000 So these next few months are going to be pivotal.

00:48:28.000 And there's talk that they're going to try to wind things down, but anything can happen.

00:48:31.000 I mean, the escalation risk is still there, of course.

00:48:35.000 The risk of nuclear war and direct war between NATO and Russia has never been higher, and it's just madness.

00:48:40.000 So hopefully it ends as soon as possible and that, you know, these next few months aren't too bad.

00:48:45.000 Dave, you're getting a lot of love in our community on Locals, that's our membership community, that any of you are welcome to join at any time and get additional content and the ability to communicate directly live in the show.

00:48:55.000 MCMT says, Hi Russell, I really like Dave and I'm really enjoying his contributions.

00:49:01.000 Trilo, Bitterus, our government only cares about world political and economic domination, not the lives of Ukrainians or Russians. 0.94

00:49:10.000 What do you think, mate, about Not only this conflict, but the ongoing escalation of tension between Taiwan, China and the United States.

00:49:20.000 We did earlier on a little item of how the various ways in which the territory of Taiwan, to forgive the use of that term, is comparable to Ukraine, i.e. vital resources, in this

00:49:33.000 case like the semiconductor industry, strategic benefits for the United States already in a place

00:49:41.000 where there is sort of militarization taking place. And also what about the story that China are

00:49:46.000 continuing to militarily aid Russia?

00:49:49.000 So with Taiwan, you know, there's a lot there and this has been going on for some time.

00:49:56.000 I went over, you know, last time I was here, so I don't want to say too much about how the U.S.

00:49:59.000 used to handle it, but basically the U.S.

00:50:02.000 used to give Taiwan, they would sell them weapons, but they wouldn't encourage them too much to declare independence because they knew that could start a war with China.

00:50:09.000 But in recent years, the U.S.

00:50:10.000 is really ramping up that support, and China is reacting immediately by increasing its military pressure on Taiwan.

00:50:17.000 So that's all happening.

00:50:18.000 What really concerns me with Taiwan, Is that in Congress there is some opposition to the war in Ukraine and it comes from a lot of Republicans.

00:50:26.000 It's small but it's still significant.

00:50:29.000 When it comes to Taiwan, a lot of them are all for sending these weapons, not to Ukraine, but to Taiwan.

00:50:36.000 If you know Josh Hawley, he's a senator from Missouri, and he really encapsulates this line of thinking.

00:50:42.000 He wrote a letter to Antony Blinken.

00:50:44.000 He said, all these weapons that you're shipping to Ukraine, get them over to Taiwan.

00:50:48.000 They want to really increase the flow of weapons.

00:50:50.000 Some more Republicans just wrote a letter to Biden saying, add $2 billion for military aid for Taiwan in your next budget.

00:50:58.000 And again, China is warning, you know, if you keep doing this, it could lead to war in the region, but the U.S.

00:51:03.000 continues to provoke them.

00:51:05.000 You know, when they first started passing these bills that had military aid for Taiwan, Mitt Romney, the senator, if you're familiar with him, he said, you know, what we're doing is very provocative and bellicose.

00:51:18.000 Mitt Romney said that, and then he voted for it anyway.

00:51:21.000 He voted in favor of sending them the aid anyway.

00:51:23.000 So that's the path that we're going on there.

00:51:26.000 And again, it's not slowing down by any means, because there's no opposition.

00:51:31.000 If you know Ro Khanna from California, House Representative, Democrat, progressive, He's against the Middle East Wars.

00:51:37.000 He's very good on Yemen and issues like that.

00:51:40.000 He just went to Taiwan this weekend.

00:51:41.000 I mean, there's no opposition.

00:51:44.000 And that's what really scares me.

00:51:45.000 That's why I think we have to wake a lot of people up to understand that the U.S.

00:51:48.000 preparing for war in the Asia-Pacific, encouraging Japan to double its military budget, giving South

00:51:54.000 Korea everything it wants, sending more bombers to the Korean Peninsula, increasing bases in the 0.96

00:51:58.000 Philippines, opening a new base in Guam, expanding their military presence in Micronesia. Did people

00:52:03.000 vote for that? To expand the U.S. military footprint in Micronesia or Palau or the Marshall

00:52:09.000 Islands? This is all happening, and people need to wake up to it and say, you know, we can't be

00:52:15.000 doing this because we're going to provoke another war. And it's the people over there, unless it 0.93

00:52:18.000 turns nuclear right away, it's the people in Taiwan, it's the people in Southeast Asia, it's 0.59

00:52:23.000 the Chinese who are going to suffer. It seems that we have systems that require conflict and crisis 1.00

00:52:31.000 in order to sustain themselves.

00:52:35.000 And in terms of US politics, currently there is no option that will not give you an escalation Of global agitation that seems like the Republican right or the Republican Party in particular are keen to escalate tension with China.

00:52:53.000 The Democrats have several years now demonized Russia and the idea that Diplomacy, multipolar worlds where different regions have different government that don't require intervention, seems odd to me at this point in our history, when progress seems observable in the areas of technology and medicine in so many ways.

00:53:19.000 that we are making such rudimentary errors when the consequences could be so grave and you know it's great that you're uh you know the walmart that you and jimmy and everyone from gray zone and all those groups that we're sort of that we're really supportive of and consider ourselves to be allies with uh... like i i you know create enough by movement around it

00:53:40.000 but it feels like it's something that

00:53:41.000 needs to become pretty radically insignificantly popularized and is going

00:53:46.000 to require a meaningful political bison

00:53:50.000 to see anything like that being able to uh... emerged a well again i was pretty hopeful after this weekend and uh...

00:54:01.000 you know i have friends in the libertarian party

00:54:03.000 I'm a member.

00:54:03.000 I'm not too involved.

00:54:04.000 I focus my work at Antiwar.com, and we're a non-profit, so we can't do political work, but I am a supporter personally.

00:54:11.000 And, you know, the Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the U.S., and right now they're focusing on local elections.

00:54:19.000 And, you know, that's kind of our whole thing as Libertarians, is decentralization and localizing, and so that's really important.

00:54:27.000 And again, it comes to the coalition, I think it's very important just to be able to drop it.

00:54:32.000 I mean, we had Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich at this rally, and back when they were in Congress, Kucinich, the progressive, and Ron Paul, the right-wing libertarian, they worked together on all sorts of issues that they aligned on.

00:54:44.000 That's really what we have to push.

00:54:45.000 And luckily, you know, we're always talking about the mainstream media, how they control the narrative.

00:54:50.000 I mean, since I've been on your show, I've been checking out Rumble More, and I see these shows on here getting huge audiences, and I think that's really encouraging.

00:54:57.000 And also Joe Rogan is the biggest media in the world.

00:55:01.000 And my friend Dave Smith, I'm not sure if you're familiar with him,

00:55:04.000 he's a comedian, it's a podcast called Part of the Problem.

00:55:07.000 He went on Joe Rogan and he told them, you know, the truth about how the US provoked the war in Ukraine.

00:55:11.000 And that got millions of views on YouTube.

00:55:14.000 And so I think we're living in a very good time to be pushing this.

00:55:19.000 You know, of course, we have the sensors with big tech, but there's ways around it.

00:55:23.000 And it's exciting.

00:55:24.000 I'm excited.

00:55:25.000 And it's tough to not get too cynical doing what I do, just writing and researching about all this horrible stuff.

00:55:33.000 But again, this weekend, I'm really motivated.

00:55:35.000 And I really appreciate people like you who have big platforms and are willing to have us on to speak these truths that people need to hear.

00:55:42.000 Thanks for saying that, Dave.

00:55:44.000 And much of the censorship and the smearing and the shutting down of dissent and the constant projection of inane stories and the provocation of division and entrenching overly lobbied political parties So Dave, thanks for coming on here.

00:56:01.000 Thanks for the incredible work that you're doing.

00:56:03.000 I'm going to be in America in the next couple of weeks.

00:56:05.000 I hope that we get to connect soon.

00:56:07.000 Thanks for joining us today, Dave.

00:56:08.000 I appreciate it.

00:56:08.000 in the last 10, 20 years require extreme effort to control.

00:56:14.000 That is cause for optimism.

00:56:16.000 Dave, thanks for coming on here.

00:56:19.000 Thanks for the incredible work that you're doing.

00:56:22.000 I'm going to be in America in the next couple of weeks.

00:56:24.000 I hope that we get to connect soon.

00:56:27.000 Thanks for joining us today, Dave.

00:56:28.000 I appreciate it.

00:56:29.000 Yeah, that would be great.

00:56:30.000 Yeah, thanks again for having me.

00:56:31.000 Remember that title I gave for your son's potential forthcoming autobiography, March Before I Could Walk, my first tentative steps as an activist?

00:56:38.000 Might become relevant, I don't know.

00:56:40.000 That's pretty great, yeah.

00:56:41.000 It was all right, wasn't it, that I came up with that?

00:56:42.000 Thanks, Dave.

00:56:44.000 Thanks.

00:56:44.000 Cheers, mate, take care.

00:56:45.000 On the show tomorrow, we've got Julia Rock coming on. 1.00

00:56:48.000 She's from The Leather.

00:56:49.000 She's reporting on the Ohio train wreck and the lobbying by rail companies to avoid safety measures that haven't led to... Oh no, there's been a massive train wreck!

00:56:58.000 We're going to be talking about that story a little bit more and its connotations.

00:57:01.000 I like the way that it exposes the hypocrisy and lack of depth to the rhetoric around ecological care.

00:57:09.000 And this is an opportunity to bring people together.

00:57:12.000 Look, we're talking about the ecology, the environment, how much we care about it.

00:57:15.000 Here's a chance for us to demonstrate that care through our actions.

00:57:19.000 And that's not what's happening.

00:57:21.000 No, it isn't what's happening.

00:57:22.000 I think, you know, what's been labelled the bad administration and I think the best is that they've been basically silent and just haven't really been involved in this and at worst are some of the things that they'll ever uncovering which we spoke about earlier and obviously Julie will talk about that tomorrow about them side literally siding with the railroad company

00:57:46.000 We've got some other exciting content tomorrow for you.

00:57:49.000 You've got to join us.

00:57:49.000 We're speaking to Dan Cohen on the NIH's search for the new Fauci.

00:57:54.000 I hope they do it like a talent show, like America's Got Talent.

00:57:57.000 New Fauci.

00:57:58.000 Do you like royalties?

00:57:59.000 Have you got a good history?

00:58:00.000 What's your connections like with the pharmaceutical industry?

00:58:03.000 What you need is someone who's got no connections to the pharmaceutical industry and I hope that they'll start there.

00:58:08.000 Please also sign up to our locals community, that's what I respond to.

00:58:12.000 And whoever sent that picture of some boobs or whatever, I don't feel like you should do that in this kind of chat.

00:58:17.000 I mean, I don't agree with censorship, I agree with free speech, but I also agree with politeness and kindness, but I feel like people are sorting that out among themselves.

00:58:25.000 Stop looking at it!

00:58:26.000 I'm not!

00:58:28.000 They're not mine!

00:58:29.000 I've not got it up.

00:58:31.000 I'm not looking at it right now.

00:58:32.000 I'm looking at the normal chat.

00:58:34.000 Sure, okay.

00:58:35.000 Hold on, let me just make sure whether that's wrong or right.

00:58:38.000 No, that's definitely wrong!

00:58:40.000 That's wrong!

00:58:41.000 No, we are anti-censorship.

00:58:42.000 I'm also pro-respect, am I?

00:58:44.000 Yes, you are.
