Stay Free - Russel Brand - New UK Leader - WEF Stooge Who’s Richer Than The King! #028 - Stay Free with Russell Brand

00:00:00.000 I'm going to go ahead and get the camera.

00:00:25.000 I'm going to get the camera.

00:02:50.000 In this video, you're going to see the C-Circle. 0.64

00:03:02.000 We're at the C-Circle.

00:03:03.000 Alright, we're at the C-Circle.

00:03:09.000 Hey, look, here I am on Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:03:12.000 Thanks for joining me.

00:03:13.000 It's Guy Fawkes Night tomorrow in our country, as well as my daughter's birthday.

00:03:19.000 Can you imagine such a thing?

00:03:21.000 The fireworks lit up the sky the next day.

00:03:23.000 It was a euphoric occasion.

00:03:25.000 But six years later, it's crazy.

00:03:27.000 When it's Guy Fawkes Night, of course, I remember being a kid.

00:03:31.000 When I was even a kid, I was like, why are we celebrating?

00:03:33.000 They go, oh, well, this guy tried to block Parliament.

00:03:35.000 And even when I was really young, I thought, He sounds like a pretty decent sort of guy!

00:03:40.000 Like, I remember even when I was little thinking, like, I like the sound of him.

00:03:43.000 Yeah.

00:03:43.000 I still don't quite understand the, how it's turned into a celebration thing.

00:03:48.000 It's a sacrifice.

00:03:49.000 It's sort of like a, like you say, he's a scapegoat martyr.

00:03:52.000 This is what happens. 1.00

00:03:53.000 To bring to the forefront of your consciousness, if you try to Mess with us, we will kill you and burn you. 1.00

00:04:00.000 Right. 0.99

00:04:01.000 And I remember one time, me and another, it was Jonathan Ross, a British TV talk show host, one time we did something a bit silly really, we made a mistake, and I was burned as an effigy!

00:04:12.000 Yeah, I remember that.

00:04:13.000 Do you remember when I was born there was an effigy?

00:04:14.000 They're good effigies though.

00:04:16.000 They were good actually.

00:04:16.000 To their credit, they do a bloody good effigy.

00:04:19.000 Thankfully it wasn't voodoo, otherwise I wouldn't be here right now to tell you that we're looking at V for Vendetta as a kind of thematic device to study, are we already in the dystopia?

00:04:31.000 That they rendered in that movie, and do we need the kind of global uprising that was put forward in Alan Moore's graphic novel as the only solution to centralised corruption?

00:04:43.000 And while we're on the subject, Brad will be with us.

00:04:46.000 Brad Evans, philosopher, poet, snazzy dresser, raconteur, will be joining us to talk about 1984.

00:04:53.000 So if you want to talk about surveillance, if you want to talk about... The book.

00:04:58.000 Yeah, not just the year.

00:04:59.000 Like, oh, what about Freddie Mercury done that?

00:04:59.000 It's not like I love 1984.

00:05:03.000 Oh, what about when Madonna did this?

00:05:05.000 Eddie Murphy's suit in Raw?

00:05:07.000 Love it.

00:05:07.000 No, it's like the book 1984 by George Orwell.

00:05:10.000 We're going to be talking about that.

00:05:12.000 We could talk a bit about the year as well.

00:05:13.000 Well, if you want, mate.

00:05:14.000 I'm just saying.

00:05:15.000 It's ancillary.

00:05:17.000 Well, I'll look up some 1984 facts.

00:05:20.000 You see, go on then.

00:05:21.000 We'll see what the audience prefer.

00:05:22.000 Right, we're going to be talking about 1984, the book by George Orwell, and the year by everyone.

00:05:28.000 Right, we're going to be looking at that.

00:05:30.000 In our item, here's the news, no, here's the effing news.

00:05:32.000 We're looking at Rishi Sunak, W.E.F.

00:05:34.000 Stooge, Richard Van the King.

00:05:36.000 He has, by marriage, relationships with, what's it called?

00:05:39.000 Infosys.

00:05:40.000 Yep. 1.00

00:05:41.000 That's a stupid name, Infosys. 1.00

00:05:43.000 Infosystems, is it? 1.00

00:05:44.000 Short for?

00:05:45.000 It's not like their sister knows a whole bunch of stuff.

00:05:45.000 Probably is, isn't it?

00:05:48.000 It's Infosys.

00:05:48.000 No.

00:05:49.000 No, it's S-Y-S. 1.00

00:05:51.000 Sys.

00:05:51.000 Ah, right.

00:05:52.000 And is that like cisgender? 0.54

00:05:54.000 Or is that S-I-S as well?

00:05:55.000 I mean, I'll look it up.

00:05:56.000 Well yeah, instead of looking up what Madonna was doing in Desperately Seeking Susan, in an attempt to derail me and Brad's excellent item and brilliant book club that you can be a member of if you're in Stay Free AF.

00:06:08.000 For example, other things that come if you're a member of Stay Free AF, that's our locals platform.

00:06:12.000 I stream there live all the time, don't I Subi?

00:06:15.000 I just pop up on there, just in the middle of nowhere.

00:06:17.000 Just like, I could be doing BJJ, that's a type of cuddling and fighting.

00:06:21.000 Or I could be like, well... Eating lunch.

00:06:24.000 Have a lunch with Ol' Russ.

00:06:25.000 Have a vegan ploughman's.

00:06:29.000 I'm convinced about that.

00:06:31.000 Because a ploughman's is a type of British dish enjoyed, as you might imagine, by a ploughman.

00:06:31.000 You're not convinced?

00:06:36.000 Imagine watching this in America right now.

00:06:38.000 A ploughman's?

00:06:39.000 What is a ploughman's?

00:06:40.000 It's a disgusting concept, and let me tell you, the dish weren't that different from the concept.

00:06:45.000 If you're a member of Safer AF, right, you can watch our Jordan Peterson chat right now.

00:06:50.000 It was a fantastic conversation and I think the kind of conversation we're gonna have to have if we don't want the culture war to divide people so that we can never unify and focus our attention on centralised power like These bloody WEF stooges that keep turning up, running countries, lovely hair, give them their credit.

00:07:09.000 Great hair.

00:07:11.000 No one's saying Justin Trudeau ain't got nice hair.

00:07:12.000 When he cut his hair, that's what nearly ruined it.

00:07:15.000 But what we need is genuine democracy, real empowerment, which I think will occur through decentralisation, by allowing people to run their own community schools and hospitals, even though Gareth, a communist, He doesn't think it will work properly because he loves Jeremy Corbyn so much.

00:07:31.000 Jeremy Corbyn was a leader of the British Labour Party.

00:07:34.000 That's not the equivalent of your Democrat Party, because you wouldn't let Bernie Sanders have a fair crack at the whip.

00:07:40.000 But we let our one have a go, and it didn't go well because there was all sorts of intervention, propaganda, meddling from the secret services, some alleged.

00:07:49.000 Certainly Al Jazeera said as much.

00:07:52.000 Anyway, look, we've got some great guests coming up.

00:07:54.000 We've got a great show today.

00:07:55.000 First of all, we're looking at the midterms in your country, America, there, and how the polarising rhetoric ultimately distracts us from our true cause, uniting against centralised power.

00:08:07.000 We're going to be having a look at Trump's speech.

00:08:10.000 In fact, I'd love to have a look at Trump's speech already.

00:08:12.000 Say what you like about Donald Trump and say it in the comments and chat now.

00:08:15.000 I know loads of you love him.

00:08:16.000 I know loads of you despise him.

00:08:18.000 Me, what I say is, look at these new green MAGA hats.

00:08:21.000 Cool.

00:08:22.000 Really enjoy that.

00:08:24.000 And look at the way that he can sort of really rabble rouse. 0.99

00:08:27.000 He's a good rabble rouser. 1.00

00:08:28.000 Because there's a phrase he uses somewhere in like, very likely, very likely.

00:08:32.000 I don't think anyone else could make very likely, which as an idiom is just a sort of pretty anodyne, sound so potentially incendiary and exciting as Donald Trump does here.

00:08:44.000 Have a look.

00:08:45.000 Now, in order to make our country successful and safe and glorious, And glorious.

00:08:53.000 Interesting word choice that.

00:08:55.000 Glorious is a good idea.

00:08:56.000 Glory is overlooked.

00:08:57.000 I once heard Steve-O out of Jackass say that, like a lot of his stunts, he's in the pursuit of glory.

00:09:04.000 And I like that he said that because it made me think, yeah, glory.

00:09:08.000 Do things for glory.

00:09:09.000 Don't live this little limpid life where you're just a sort of barnacle on a system that doesn't love you.

00:09:15.000 We've lost your connection to love.

00:09:17.000 We've lost your connection to the divine.

00:09:20.000 The phrase that Vandana Shiva taught me when she was on the show, desacralization.

00:09:24.000 Everything has lost its sacredness.

00:09:26.000 I was even worried about that this morning on my child's birthday.

00:09:30.000 Have we lost the sacredness of this?

00:09:32.000 How it felt on the day that she was born, where I felt the presence of God in a real and vivid, not remotely metaphysical way, when I saw things that blew my mind, literal childbirth, obviously, and felt things that changed my neurology forever, and now by the time she's six, it's just like, you know... Pokemon.

00:09:49.000 There's two, yeah, Pokemon, like, she likes Pikachu quite a lot, and then just, like, dealing with a quarrel between, you know, like, because the other one, like, you know, probably should learn her name, that'll help them to feel...

00:10:00.000 That'll probably help them to feel like there's a bit more of a level playing field.

00:10:02.000 Now, Peggy, my two kids, like, when it's one's birthday, the other one's, like, you've got two kids, haven't you, Sue?

00:10:08.000 Yeah, I do, yeah.

00:10:09.000 What do you do?

00:10:10.000 Do a birthday present for the other one to... No, definitely not.

00:10:13.000 Oh, you're going in hard!

00:10:15.000 Yeah.

00:10:15.000 You're getting a birthday present, it's not your birthday, live with it.

00:10:18.000 He gets to blow the candles out at the same time with his older brother.

00:10:22.000 That's the compromise.

00:10:23.000 And what about when it's the reverse?

00:10:25.000 Does the older one not want to blow out the younger one?

00:10:26.000 No, absolutely not.

00:10:27.000 No.

00:10:27.000 The older one's cool about it.

00:10:28.000 He's progressed.

00:10:29.000 Well, in our household, it's like a sort of a... There's a lot of tension on birthdays.

00:10:29.000 Yeah.

00:10:34.000 A lot of tension.

00:10:34.000 I bought my kid a catapult.

00:10:37.000 Oh yeah?

00:10:37.000 She likes Bart Simpson.

00:10:38.000 That'll downplay the tension, I imagine.

00:10:42.000 It's like, when I looked at it, it's got an infrared sight on it, it's actually probably not so... You know they'll use that against you, don't you?

00:10:50.000 Yeah.

00:10:51.000 I've made mistakes like this in the past, when I once had a girlfriend who had teenage sons, and in order to curry favour with them, I'm afraid I did arm them.

00:10:59.000 and uh like that's what kids teenage boys they only want weapons that's all they want luckily i'm in the uk so it wasn't like you know that you know it's like pretty pretty relatively safe kind of you know air rifles couple of hunting knives and stuff but when i saw them with the weapons i thought of the relationship i had with their mother i thought i was possibly creating a Potential problem for down the line.

00:11:22.000 Unfortunately, the relationship didn't last long enough for that to blossom.

00:11:27.000 Should we use?

00:11:28.000 Anyway, I've got a sidetrack there because of Donald Trump's use of the word glory.

00:11:31.000 Interesting, again, I'm interested in the rebranding.

00:11:34.000 What do you think's with the green MAGA cap?

00:11:36.000 Just a way of revitalizing it?

00:11:37.000 It's interesting.

00:11:38.000 Well, it's not MAGA, is it?

00:11:39.000 It says Trump, so it feels like it's a new sort of aspect of Trump.

00:11:42.000 Yeah.

00:11:43.000 What does it say?

00:11:44.000 Something for Trump?

00:11:46.000 Yeah, certainly nice.

00:11:47.000 Did people before Trump do people in the background like that?

00:11:50.000 I think I suppose I've seen Obama with a backdrop of people.

00:11:53.000 It's a good look.

00:11:53.000 Sure.

00:11:54.000 But now they've fully branded it now though, haven't they?

00:11:56.000 Yeah, it's branded up to the wazoo.

00:11:58.000 It's more than football, isn't it?

00:11:59.000 Everyone's got merch on.

00:11:59.000 It really is.

00:12:01.000 Yeah.

00:12:02.000 We should have better merch. 0.95

00:12:03.000 We should have.

00:12:04.000 We should have.

00:12:05.000 Alright, let's see what he says now.

00:12:07.000 Very, very, very, probably do it again, okay?

00:12:10.000 Very, very, very, probably.

00:12:14.000 Very probably, very probably.

00:12:17.000 Like his tone is interesting.

00:12:18.000 Very probably, very probably.

00:12:18.000 Yeah.

00:12:21.000 So he's not fully Gunner.

00:12:23.000 No.

00:12:23.000 But it's so probable, he's said it a lot of times.

00:12:26.000 He has, yeah.

00:12:27.000 It's the repetition, isn't it, there?

00:12:29.000 He already says very, very, very few times and then he goes, I'll say that a bit more.

00:12:33.000 Very probably.

00:12:34.000 He's riding the applause with very probably as well.

00:12:36.000 That's one of the things that Trump's detractors refuse to acknowledge is his rhetorical skill and his power of persuasion.

00:12:46.000 And nothing really seems out of place when he says it.

00:12:48.000 You know, even the use of the word glory, that's not a...

00:12:52.000 Common word, I think, to have used in the context of, like, political language.

00:12:57.000 You know, it's, uh, he's thrown something in there that sometimes I think he knows exactly what he's doing and sometimes I think he's just operating on a different... he doesn't know at all what he's doing.

00:13:06.000 Is he an intuitive populist genius or is this sort of carefully staged?

00:13:12.000 It's very difficult to know.

00:13:13.000 I know that a lot of you really dislike Donald J. Trump and, like, as you know, I believe That we have to look for political solutions that transcend both the left and right and that true populism will always lead to the empowerment of ordinary people.

00:13:27.000 The ability for us to run our own lives free from corporate intervention and even free from purely mechanistic and materialistic ideals that our life should mean more.

00:13:38.000 ...than what you earn and what you do.

00:13:40.000 These sort of modalities, I think, are at least a century old, and we have to look beyond free market capitalism, state communism.

00:13:47.000 We have to start looking at some new ideas.

00:13:49.000 But that's not as catchy as... Very probably.

00:13:52.000 Very, very probably.

00:13:53.000 Very, very likely.

00:13:57.000 That's so many verys at that point!

00:14:00.000 At this point, it's like a new catchphrase.

00:14:02.000 Yeah, he's catchphrased that already.

00:14:04.000 Like, if something's very probable, right, that means it's sort of almost like, now very, very probable.

00:14:10.000 Very, very, very probably.

00:14:13.000 I mean, how close to certainty can we get without something actually being certain?

00:14:19.000 You've never had as many people.

00:14:22.000 All right, we're off YouTube.

00:14:23.000 Well done, we made it.

00:14:23.000 OK, right, it's just Rumble now.

00:14:25.000 It's just Rumble.

00:14:26.000 Probably what we should do... Very probably.

00:14:29.000 Very probably.

00:14:30.000 Very, very probably.

00:14:31.000 Very, very, very probably what we should do, actually, is just before we leave YouTube, say something like, we're leaving YouTube now.

00:14:40.000 Join us over on Rumble, where it's the real deal.

00:14:43.000 Yeah?

00:14:43.000 Yeah.

00:14:43.000 We should, shouldn't we?

00:14:44.000 We definitely should.

00:14:44.000 Probably?

00:14:45.000 Very probably.

00:14:46.000 You're actually going to go straight to definitely.

00:14:47.000 Where's your rhetorical skill?

00:14:48.000 Yeah, make a note of that.

00:14:50.000 You make a note of that.

00:14:50.000 And that could be my new thing.

00:14:51.000 And you can tell me to do it in future.

00:14:53.000 All right.

00:14:55.000 You need a catchphrase for that.

00:14:56.000 Probably.

00:14:56.000 That's what you need.

00:14:57.000 Very probably.

00:14:58.000 Very, very, Very, very probably.

00:14:59.000 Very, very probably.

00:15:01.000 I just want to say this.

00:15:02.000 Carl Bittner, who I now love, says, where's the full interview with Jordan Peterson on Rumble?

00:15:07.000 You can get it immediately.

00:15:09.000 You can get it first and in full on Stay Free AF.

00:15:13.000 That's our members community.

00:15:15.000 And then we're playing out the whole interview Tuesday.

00:15:18.000 So the whole JP interview, you can watch it right now if you want it.

00:15:21.000 Don't, because I'm doing this.

00:15:22.000 But you could if you wanted.

00:15:23.000 Watch it right now.

00:15:25.000 In full and first on Stay Free AF.

00:15:28.000 That's my catchphrase.

00:15:29.000 Really good.

00:15:30.000 See?

00:15:31.000 I can do it.

00:15:31.000 Yeah.

00:15:32.000 I can do it.

00:15:33.000 All right.

00:15:34.000 What's the next thing?

00:15:35.000 Is it someone doing... There's that other dude saying that thing about Russia.

00:15:38.000 Republicans and Democrats.

00:15:40.000 I know this one.

00:15:41.000 Donald Trump endorses US Senator Chuck Grassley at Iowa rally ahead of the midterms.

00:15:46.000 Because your midterms, it's a real big deal over there, isn't it?

00:15:48.000 I spoke to Dave Rubin because we sort of work in the same realm.

00:15:48.000 Oh, yeah.

00:15:52.000 And maybe that's private what he said.

00:15:55.000 Oh no, why am I name dropping all the time?

00:15:57.000 What's gone wrong?

00:15:57.000 What's gone wrong today?

00:15:59.000 I must feel insecure.

00:15:59.000 Right.

00:16:00.000 I must feel insecure because I'm having to say that I know everyone.

00:16:03.000 That's all right.

00:16:03.000 This is a work context.

00:16:04.000 I think it's fine.

00:16:06.000 It's not like when you bang on about all those other celebs.

00:16:08.000 Do I do that though in my private life?

00:16:09.000 Do I?

00:16:10.000 No, no.

00:16:11.000 Do I?

00:16:12.000 In conversations do I suddenly go, yep, I've got a lot of powerful pals. 0.79

00:16:16.000 Who's the one?

00:16:16.000 I don't think I do.

00:16:17.000 I mean, you never seem to mention people like Tom Cruise and those are always the ones I want to know about.

00:16:21.000 It's private.

00:16:23.000 There was a moment when I was in the car with Tom Cruise and he did an impression out of, I think, Jerry Maguire.

00:16:30.000 And he went, show me!

00:16:32.000 Help me, help you!

00:16:33.000 And I was like, oh, that's cool that he did that.

00:16:36.000 That was my favourite moment of that whole experience.

00:16:38.000 And also that he did let me use his trailer to do the gym in.

00:16:43.000 Oh, I'm glad you said that.

00:16:45.000 Why did you think you threw the lavatory in there?

00:16:47.000 I did think you would do that.

00:16:48.000 No, absolutely not.

00:16:48.000 I don't think I even used it for that.

00:16:50.000 I just politely... Maybe I just thought, ooh, Tom Cruise uses this.

00:16:53.000 And I thought it was very kind of him.

00:16:54.000 He's very kind.

00:16:55.000 And when it was my birthday, he got me some nice presents.

00:16:57.000 That's what I thought about him.

00:16:58.000 He's a kind person.

00:17:00.000 There you go.

00:17:00.000 Yeah.

00:17:01.000 I'm not going to... certainly not going to start criticising folks.

00:17:04.000 But I'm more likely to talk about... I'm one of those that will go, my friends, they're normal people.

00:17:09.000 Oh, you are.

00:17:10.000 That's why I'm like that, aren't I?

00:17:11.000 Yeah.

00:17:12.000 I'm only really happy when I'm hanging out with truckers.

00:17:14.000 Yeah.

00:17:15.000 Look at any worker around here.

00:17:15.000 I know.

00:17:18.000 You say to my wife, if I see a white van, if I go, oh, Ross, from a white van, I'm like, all right, mate, how's it going?

00:17:24.000 Yep, the struggle.

00:17:29.000 Look at these hands, just like yours.

00:17:33.000 I broke that finger falling off my polo pony.

00:17:35.000 That scratch, I got it from my silver spoon.

00:17:40.000 No, no, no.

00:17:41.000 As you know, old Russ is one of us.

00:17:42.000 Old Russ is one of us.

00:17:44.000 So, um, that's another catchphrase.

00:17:46.000 I'm the new Trump.

00:17:46.000 One of us.

00:17:47.000 Right.

00:17:48.000 Except I'm much more about decentralisation, loving, absolute acceptance of people for who they truly are, and absolute love, and maybe you believe Trump is for that.

00:17:57.000 You tell me what you believe, because I don't mind, because I love you anyway.

00:18:00.000 Let's have a look at what, what's he called again?

00:18:02.000 Chuck Grassley.

00:18:03.000 Yeah, an Iowa rally.

00:18:03.000 So this isn't him, this is someone speaking at a rally for him.

00:18:06.000 For Chuck Grassley.

00:18:07.000 We don't see Chuck Grassley.

00:18:08.000 This is, this is like one of his supporters.

00:18:10.000 That's right, oh yeah.

00:18:12.000 This guy, I've seen this before, he's got too adrenalized and he's gone out of hand.

00:18:17.000 I see a lot of this.

00:18:19.000 I see a lot of it.

00:18:20.000 Let's see it.

00:18:24.000 You can take your woke, fiscally irresponsible craziness and you can take it and go to the Soviet Union! 0.96

00:18:32.000 I don't care!

00:18:34.000 A few things really.

00:18:35.000 It's amazing.

00:18:35.000 Fiscally irresponsible wokeness.

00:18:37.000 Soviet Union, I believe, was dissolved in about 1989.

00:18:41.000 Yeah.

00:18:41.000 And also, like, the thing is with wokeness and the Soviet Union is... Do you know the other thing that's blowing my mind about this?

00:18:50.000 It's like the sort of like... Because I like... By the way, you know, I'm not... If you like republicanism or Trump or whatever, this is my belief.

00:18:56.000 It won't work.

00:18:57.000 It will not work.

00:18:58.000 Neither will, like, neoliberalists, left of centre, Biden-y stuff.

00:19:03.000 None of that will work.

00:19:04.000 But just to sort of have a bit of a dig at this dude, who is a child of God and I love, he's saying, like, go to the Soviet Union!

00:19:10.000 But look at where it's happening.

00:19:11.000 Rally coverage in Sioux City, Iowa.

00:19:13.000 And Iowa is a native word.

00:19:15.000 Sioux City.

00:19:16.000 That's the people who are like, this is our country!

00:19:19.000 Yeah, there was people here, but you have that very short memory indeed to believe in nationalism.

00:19:26.000 Yeah, also the idea that woke people would really get on in Russia is an interesting one.

00:19:31.000 It's quite strict in Russia.

00:19:32.000 I don't know that they're that pro a lot of the central woke issues in Russia.

00:19:37.000 No, and I really like the way that he like threw in fiscal irresponsibility, like that was part of a rant.

00:19:43.000 I can't think of a rant that would involve fiscally irresponsible.

00:19:47.000 Because if you were having an argument with your life partner, and you're like, listen, I don't like how you talk to me, I'm sick of you, I think you're a bad influence on the kid.

00:19:54.000 It's a fiscal irresponsibility!

00:19:56.000 You've done well, actually, to include fiscal irresponsibility.

00:19:59.000 It's vital.

00:20:00.000 Yeah, because I might say something like, you should just move to Russia.

00:20:04.000 I might say that, you know.

00:20:06.000 Move to Russia if you don't like it! 0.91

00:20:08.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:20:09.000 If you don't like it, move to Russia!

00:20:10.000 You're being fiscally irresponsible!

00:20:12.000 Yeah.

00:20:13.000 And Russia, they are fiscally responsible. 0.74

00:20:14.000 You can tell that from looking at their submarines.

00:20:16.000 They've kept them in mint condition.

00:20:18.000 Yeah.

00:20:18.000 Old ones.

00:20:19.000 Not trying to jazzy have the iPhone version of a submarine or the iPhone version of a nuclear missile.

00:20:24.000 Their old clunky 80s style.

00:20:26.000 Dun dun dun dun dun! 0.83

00:20:28.000 Been screwed in by proper Igor. 0.91

00:20:30.000 Yeah, there's nothing irresponsible there, is there?

00:20:31.000 They're looking after it.

00:20:33.000 I think he's collecting gold, Putin.

00:20:33.000 No.

00:20:35.000 Is he?

00:20:35.000 Uh-oh.

00:20:36.000 I think so.

00:20:36.000 That's not good.

00:20:37.000 That ain't good.

00:20:38.000 He's stockpiling.

00:20:38.000 He's stockpiling!

00:20:40.000 We've riled him up!

00:20:41.000 We've riled him up and he's armed to the teeth.

00:20:43.000 And was there anything else that we're going to look at or are we going into this argument about polemicism in this space?

00:20:50.000 Go to an argument.

00:20:51.000 There's a few things I wanted to mention before we get into sort of polemicism around the midterms and how the Democrats are spending a bunch of money to get people to focus on sort of hot-button topics like pro-choice, pro-life.

00:21:05.000 The Republicans are spending a bunch of dark money in particular, is it?

00:21:08.000 I think dark money's in both parties now.

00:21:10.000 What is dark money?

00:21:11.000 Well, it's anonymous sources ultimately.

00:21:13.000 It's a way of donating money without there having to be any kind of record of it.

00:21:18.000 Dark money, honey.

00:21:19.000 So what that shows is that these parties are being funded by and ultimately affected by and influenced by anonymous corporations.

00:21:27.000 Do you think that there are interests that donate to both parties?

00:21:32.000 Yeah, almost certainly there would be.

00:21:33.000 We know for sure that there are.

00:21:34.000 In fact, Gareth, I'm asking you a rhetorical question there to trick you.

00:21:37.000 To trick and discredit you.

00:21:40.000 Because I happen to know a bunch of stuff about this subject.

00:21:44.000 Whilst you thumb through your stuff, I'll tell you there's a record amount that's been spent for the midterms.

00:21:50.000 So this is almost 10 billion dollars that's been spent.

00:21:53.000 When you think at a time, 10 billion dollars.

00:21:56.000 On the midterms?

00:21:57.000 Yeah, between the two parties.

00:21:59.000 When you think this is a time of crisis that people are going through in terms of what they're able to afford.

00:22:04.000 Cost of living crisis.

00:22:05.000 Homelessness.

00:22:07.000 Opioid epidemic.

00:22:08.000 Mental health breakdown.

00:22:10.000 Inability to recover from the crisis induced by the pandemic.

00:22:14.000 But that shows you that you should ignore them both.

00:22:14.000 10 billion.

00:22:17.000 Because if you're willing to spend that amount of money just winning an argument with another party, you've become distracted.

00:22:24.000 It's gotten out of hand, hasn't it?

00:22:25.000 It's gotten out of hand.

00:22:26.000 It's become sort of a senseless tribal dispute that has forgotten what the dispute is actually about. 0.99

00:22:32.000 Should be able to sort of cut people and they should bleed. 0.98

00:22:34.000 This is my love of my country. 0.99

00:22:36.000 This is my love of my people.

00:22:37.000 This is my love of humanity.

00:22:39.000 I'm just in an argument, I can't really remember why now, just keep spending money.

00:22:43.000 And when it gets to the point, we've made content about this before, that the Democrats are funding MAGA candidates in primaries in order to bend the perception of the Republican Party as a whole, so that when Joe Biden says, this is a unique time, this is a vote to save democracy itself, Oh man.

00:23:04.000 Yeah, and Hillary Clinton likens Trump supporters to Nazis.

00:23:08.000 You can't do that.

00:23:09.000 That just isn't helpful.

00:23:11.000 It's not helpful.

00:23:11.000 You don't have to come either side of that without knowing that that's not helpful.

00:23:15.000 But Gareth, it must be helpful.

00:23:16.000 The divisiveness must be helpful.

00:23:18.000 helpful, they wouldn't do it. They're deliberately creating divisiveness because the simple truth

00:23:22.000 is a significant number of people don't vote, the people that do vote are interested in

00:23:26.000 these kind of tribalised issues and more broadly, this is something I'm guessing, I sort of

00:23:32.000 became aware that Brad Evans was listening, right, and I thought oh no, Brad Evans knows

00:23:35.000 so much more about it. Don't you ever find yourself, like Brad Evans is our guest, he's

00:23:38.000 doing our book club later, we're talking about 1984, if you want to join us on Stay Free

00:23:41.000 AF you'll get a sort of more in-depth version of that but it's on the show a little bit

00:23:46.000 But I often, because I'm a passionate orator, I often find myself telling people about stuff they know more about than I do.

00:23:54.000 Like, you know, like it's happened to me my whole, like not my whole life, but for a lot of my life, I find myself sort of sitting next to or in front of like a world-class musician or whatever.

00:24:02.000 No, but the thing is, what you do, see that, mate?

00:24:04.000 Like, telling it back.

00:24:06.000 I mansplain, or musician-splain, or philosopher-splain to them.

00:24:10.000 Anyway, my point is, is that what's happening is that we're in such a sort of a frenzied and over-emotional state around the polemicism that we've forgotten, actually, what our fundamental reality is about.

00:24:24.000 That we're not talking about Massive corruption like the stories I'd like to draw your attention to is like the FBI provided support to Ottawa police During the convoy protest that's mental.

00:24:35.000 Yeah, and I would have thought Illegal, so during those trucker protesters the FBI provided support to the Ottawa police sources.

00:24:42.000 Yeah Well that includes like financial support as well, so I think what that shows what that shows is that the FBI I like American You know, federal institutions were almost as worried about what was going on in Canada as anyone else.

00:24:59.000 Because what was happening was, this was starting to spread.

00:25:01.000 The German Revolution.

00:25:03.000 There were going to be trucker protests everywhere weren't there Will?

00:25:03.000 Exactly.

00:25:07.000 They would have been trucking like, you know, because... Well I think they were, they did start to emerge.

00:25:09.000 They started to do them in America, didn't they? 0.93

00:25:11.000 Yeah, they did, yeah.

00:25:12.000 Plus there's the Sri Lanka farm protest, the ones in the Netherlands, and like, that's why I love Vandana Shiva, because she'll tell you these things are all, it's all the same issue.

00:25:19.000 That centralised edicts coming down from unelected global bodies, WEF, WHO, IMF, World Bank, are affecting National democracies and ordinary people.

00:25:31.000 You can't do anything through political process, so you have to protest, but the right to protest is being impeded.

00:25:37.000 They can freeze your bank accounts and all that stuff.

00:25:38.000 Now we know that the FBI are lending financial support to the Ottawa.

00:25:45.000 It's a weird word to say in my accent.

00:25:46.000 Oh yeah, because you don't pronounce the T's.

00:25:50.000 The Ottawa.

00:25:51.000 Ottawa Police Services.

00:25:51.000 The Ottawa.

00:25:54.000 That's the wrong kind of internationalism, that, mate.

00:25:57.000 Yep.

00:25:58.000 Have you got more to say, Nick?

00:25:59.000 No.

00:26:00.000 Well, let me tell you some facts, because as you know, I'm an investigative reporter myself.

00:26:04.000 Oh, yes.

00:26:05.000 I forget this sometimes.

00:26:07.000 Yeah, you've got to stay focused.

00:26:08.000 What I do is I investigate it, and then I report it.

00:26:12.000 This is the bit where I've done the investigating, and here's the reporting.

00:26:14.000 Did you know that lobbyists in Washington have received at least $3.5 billion for their work every year since 2019?

00:26:22.000 Wow.

00:26:22.000 Every year.

00:26:23.000 There's your democracy! 0.99

00:26:25.000 There's your bloody democracy! 0.75

00:26:27.000 So essentially, this all points to one thing. 0.97

00:26:30.000 Corruption.

00:26:31.000 And when we had Jeffrey Sachs on here, and it was brilliant, and you can watch that interview right now.

00:26:35.000 Not right now, though, because I need you here with me.

00:26:36.000 One of the things that I really liked was the way that he explained, even around just one issue, the Ukraine-Russia war.

00:26:44.000 How it didn't begin when we are told it began.

00:26:48.000 He says, look, look, this happened in 2009, this happened in 2014, this is well documented, and when you see Jeffrey Sachs, he's so adorable, another great academic, and he does that face.

00:27:01.000 We made him do it a couple of times.

00:27:02.000 We got VT packaged for the number of times we made him do that.

00:27:06.000 We did it so many times.

00:27:08.000 I'd love to see it.

00:27:08.000 Yeah.

00:27:09.000 flirting with us and do that fucking face! 1.00

00:27:16.000 I think we had him do it. 1.00

00:27:18.000 He told us stuff about, like, various diplomats and high-level government officials that have worked for both administrations.

00:27:25.000 And if one agenda spans various administrations, what does that tell you about the efficacy of democracy and apparent explicit policy?

00:27:32.000 I'll tell you, because that was a rhetorical question.

00:27:34.000 It tells you that it's superficial and that, ultimately, there is an ulterior agenda being pursued.

00:27:39.000 It's not conspiracy theory, although there is a tinfoil hat.

00:27:43.000 Right here, if I need one.

00:27:44.000 This is just an underwritten academic fact.

00:27:46.000 I'm not going to put this on for a while because actually I'm quite pleased with how my hair's looking.

00:27:49.000 Now on the subject of globalist agendas, let's see a little, let's look a little more deeply into the relationships that Rishi Sunak, current British Prime Minister, how long has it been?

00:27:59.000 It's been two weeks now?

00:28:00.000 Couple of weeks, yeah.

00:28:01.000 It won't be much longer, I wouldn't have thought.

00:28:03.000 They'd normally, we only have him for a little while, don't we, Prime Minister?

00:28:06.000 After a couple of weeks, oh, it's still him!

00:28:09.000 Get another one in! 0.97

00:28:10.000 Pound's gone down again. 1.00

00:28:11.000 Bloody Pat, you idiot! 1.00

00:28:12.000 What have you done to that pound? 1.00

00:28:14.000 Go and get someone to boost that pound right up tight. 0.98

00:28:14.000 Get out! 0.98

00:28:18.000 So what we're going to do now is talk about Rishi Sunak's connections to the WF.

00:28:23.000 They're not tangential, not conspiratorial.

00:28:26.000 He's, like, misses his dad, works directly with him, through Infosys.

00:28:31.000 That does imply that he gets on with his missus' dad, though.

00:28:33.000 Oh, they might not get on.

00:28:34.000 I mean, do you get on with your... Yeah, Bernard, me and BG, professional golfer, you should see us on the 19th hole, which is what we golfers call the bar after.

00:28:34.000 Yeah.

00:28:45.000 I do a couple of rounds of golf each day.

00:28:49.000 Every day I do 18 holes before I come to work.

00:28:52.000 Golf grow up!

00:28:52.000 He's talking about golf.

00:28:54.000 I know a lot about golf.

00:28:56.000 Firstly, you're going to need your golf sticks.

00:28:58.000 And then you smash it.

00:29:00.000 Which is your favourite one?

00:29:01.000 I'd say probably the 9-wood.

00:29:03.000 And that's the one I use most of all to smash it down the golf hole.

00:29:06.000 One day I smashed it so hard down that golf hole, my ears went pop.

00:29:10.000 But we're not here to talk about my relationship with my father-in-law, Bernard Gallaher.

00:29:14.000 Respect to you, sir.

00:29:16.000 We're here to talk about Rishi Sunak's relationship with his father-in-law and Klaus Schwab, the comically villainous Klaus Schwab.

00:29:24.000 Oh, I didn't mean to pry.

00:29:26.000 I wish he was your father-in-law.

00:29:28.000 Yeah.

00:29:28.000 I like to say it at Christmas.

00:29:28.000 Klaus Schwab?

00:29:30.000 Yeah.

00:29:31.000 Klaus, mate, I've been... Why do you make these videos where you reductively condemn us some sort of conspiratorial mouthpiece for all of your various interests?

00:29:42.000 Before you say anything else, swallow that spit in your mouth because a lot of it's ended up in my eyelashes and I don't like feeling my eyelashes weighed down by other people's spit on Christmas Day.

00:29:53.000 Not on Christmas day in the morn, and we'd have to have it at his house, wouldn't we?

00:29:56.000 Of course you would.

00:29:57.000 Ganna, where are you?

00:29:58.000 We'll do it at Clow's house.

00:30:00.000 We've got to do it at Clow's house.

00:30:01.000 Come house! 0.93

00:30:02.000 We did it at yours last year.

00:30:03.000 Why's it always got to be at yours?

00:30:04.000 I want to stay in.

00:30:05.000 Can't we just have a casual Christmas?

00:30:06.000 Open our presents and stay at home.

00:30:08.000 Can't we just have a casual Christmas?

00:30:09.000 No, you can't.

00:30:11.000 We're doing Christmas Night.

00:30:12.000 Justin Trudeau and Angela Merkel, they're all coming over for Christmas.

00:30:17.000 We're going to have an eggnog.

00:30:20.000 We're going to have an eggnog together.

00:30:22.000 Russell, why don't you sip the nog? 0.99

00:30:24.000 Oh, shit, this nog. 0.99

00:30:26.000 That ain't good nog, Klaus! 1.00

00:30:27.000 You call that nog?

00:30:29.000 You call that no clout?

00:30:31.000 Because it's the fibronucleus, you see my actual fibronucleus.

00:30:31.000 But I wouldn't, would I?

00:30:34.000 Yes, yes, yes, very politely.

00:30:36.000 You've just got to front it up, haven't you?

00:30:39.000 That's the nature of an in-law relationship.

00:30:40.000 YouTube videos would be interesting.

00:30:43.000 Why do you mean?

00:30:44.000 When you were doing videos about your own father-in-law.

00:30:45.000 I'd like to see that.

00:30:47.000 Well, actually, I watched the one where it was said that I gave Albert Ball, our CEO of Pfizer, a very soft interview.

00:30:55.000 That's why you've got this lousy present.

00:30:59.000 Just itchy socks.

00:31:01.000 Feel how it's going to make your legs bold around the anklet.

00:31:05.000 That's the sort of thing that happens in my mind.

00:31:08.000 Well, thanks for watching.

00:31:09.000 We're all going to resign now from popular entertainment.

00:31:13.000 Nah, we're gonna keep doing it.

00:31:14.000 We're trying our hardest and this is the result.

00:31:16.000 Let's have a look at Rishi Sunak and his ties to the WEF.

00:31:19.000 Let us know in the chat, let us know in the comments what you think about all this, hmm?

00:31:24.000 No serious, nothing news, you know.

00:31:26.000 Thank you for choosing Fox News.

00:31:28.000 Thank you so much. 0.94

00:31:29.000 No, here's the f*****g news.

00:31:31.000 Rishi Sunak, even if that's not what Joe Biden calls him, is Britain's first Hindu Prime Minister. 0.89

00:31:38.000 And for what it's worth, I think that's a good thing.

00:31:41.000 But is Hinduism Rishi Sunak's real religion, or are his ties to the WEF and the billionaire class more important?

00:31:50.000 Let's look at the policies.

00:31:51.000 Let's see if they're globalist or not.

00:31:55.000 Another story, of course, about globalism and about another WEF stooge, trainee, acolyte, crony, making it through the ranks, all the way from being a billionaire to being a political puppet of powerful forces.

00:32:09.000 I don't know.

00:32:10.000 I want you to decide.

00:32:11.000 Let me know in the comments.

00:32:12.000 Let me know on the chat whether you think Rishi Sunak, Justin Trudeau, Macron, all these WEF boy band leaders are put in the interests of their nation first and the

00:32:22.000 inhabitants of their nation, or their strong ties to globalist bodies that are unelected.

00:32:28.000 In the case of Rishi Sunak, there's some astonishing information that I'm just longing to tell you.

00:32:33.000 Here it is.

00:32:33.000 Rishi Sunak has family ties to a technology partner of the World Economic Forum.

00:32:39.000 So, this is not conspiracy theory, this is conspiracy fact.

00:32:42.000 You might say, oh the WAF, really it's just, you know, they're just put on these conferences.

00:32:47.000 Well look at who attends those conferences, look at the goals and the agenda of the institutions and groups that attend that conference, and look at what's happening in the world.

00:32:54.000 See if you see a corollary that has advocated for a Chinese Communist Party style economy complete with trackable digital identities and currency.

00:33:02.000 So already, he has literal ties to a technology company that advocates for something that I imagine most of us would be resistant to, regardless of what we claim our political persuasion is.

00:33:14.000 You might be on the left, you might be on the right, you might be pro-Brexit, pro-Trump, you might be anti-Brexit, anti-Trump.

00:33:19.000 Do you want social credit scoring up the wazoo so that your every transaction, your medical decisions, and indeed your currency, we made a video about that recently, have a look at that one, All become increasingly centralised.

00:33:32.000 Surely you can see that's the way it's going.

00:33:34.000 Surely you can see the way that new protest laws are being ushered in in our country, the UK.

00:33:39.000 The way that the trucker protests were shut down.

00:33:41.000 The way that they were smeared, slurred, had bank accounts frozen.

00:33:44.000 That centralisation and control being exerted through the state somehow, because it's compassionate and anti-Nazi, appears to be the way things are going. 0.68

00:33:53.000 Well, what does this Prime Minister mean?

00:33:55.000 What do these ties mean?

00:33:57.000 What's it going to mean for you?

00:33:58.000 The father of Sunak's wife, Akshata Murthy, is the founder of Infosys, an Indian information technology company that provides services to a host of Fortune 500 companies and banks.

00:34:09.000 Infosys is listed as an official partner of the World Economic Forum, the WEF, which has been accused of seeking to develop the technological infrastructure to implement a global social credit score system.

00:34:21.000 Now, I don't even think that they think they're evil.

00:34:24.000 I'm not suggesting that they're evil.

00:34:26.000 I think that it's a form of new technocracy that will find itself ultimately expressed in the form of technological dictatorship, where the data does the thinking for you.

00:34:36.000 Sorry, we cannot permit you to travel.

00:34:38.000 Oh, it seems you're responsible for wrong-think.

00:34:40.000 I'm afraid that you will not be permitted to travel.

00:34:43.000 Infosys president Mohit Joshi has penned articles for the site in favour of digital banking, which provides the technological framework for the social credit score system the WEF has come under scrutiny for attempting to effectuate across the world.

00:34:56.000 Okay, so there you go.

00:34:57.000 There's a deliberate definitive tie between Rishi Sunak and the WEF in the form of Infosys owned by his wife's father.

00:35:06.000 That's before we get to Rishi Sunak's financial life and financial history.

00:35:10.000 Experts say Sunak has not been transparent with his finances and that his hedge fund background raises questions about his commitment to fighting tax avoidance.

00:35:18.000 Again, these are ordinary, normal practices in the world of finance.

00:35:22.000 Having hedge funds is acceptable.

00:35:24.000 It's certainly not anything that is criminal.

00:35:26.000 We're just talking particularly about a man who is now charged with the social responsibility of running a country and doing what's best for a country, the vast majority of whom are not multimillionaires or billionaires or investors,

00:35:39.000 what does his background, his class, and his affiliation with certain organizations tell you?

00:35:46.000 Sitting on a combined wealth of £730 million, Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murthy

00:35:53.000 have a fortune which is around twice the estimated wealth of King Charles III.

00:35:57.000 That's the person who's in charge with helping the poor people of this country.

00:36:02.000 Oh, also, he's heavily tied to the WEF. 1.00

00:36:04.000 So, to paraphrase Butch and Sundance, if the fool don't kill ya, the drowning will. 0.99

00:36:09.000 The Chancellor's extensive property portfolio is just one source of his wealth. 0.99

00:36:13.000 After studying at Oxford University, Sunak went on to work for US investment bank Goldman Sachs for four years.

00:36:18.000 He left to pursue a business degree at Stanford University in California, where he said influential figures in the multi-billion US tech industry left a mark on him.

00:36:26.000 The Mark of the Beast!

00:36:27.000 When the idea of public assemblies, new forms of democracy are discussed, people are very dismissive.

00:36:32.000 You can't change anything.

00:36:33.000 This is the best way of doing things.

00:36:34.000 Do you know why they say that?

00:36:35.000 Because if there were true forms of democracy, where you could run your own community, schools, hospital, where there were voted for assemblies, where people democratically discussed what to do with community budgets independently, where laws were formed locally, Acted upon communally and consensually, it wouldn't be possible for Oxford and Stanford graduates, former employees of Goldman Sachs, affiliates of the WEF by design and by interest and by shared agenda, to rise continually to power all over the world.

00:37:05.000 Nothing good can come out of these systems now.

00:37:07.000 It doesn't matter if the people in charge change their tie colour or even the colour of their skin or their sex.

00:37:13.000 It's not the solution.

00:37:15.000 If you listen to Jeffrey Sachs in our brilliant interview talking about the military-industrial complex, what he calls the war machine's agenda, being pursued for the last 30 years, it's clear that it transcends party politics.

00:37:26.000 You can watch it for yourself, you can listen to it for yourself.

00:37:29.000 What you can see From there, Sunak had a stint working at a hedge fund back in London.

00:37:32.000 He was a partner at the Children's Investment Fund.

00:37:34.000 address and change the institutions themselves if we're to interrupt this process.

00:37:38.000 That's just what I think, let me know what you think in the chat.

00:37:40.000 From there, Sunak had a stint working at a hedge fund back in London.

00:37:44.000 He was a partner at the Children's Investment Fund.

00:37:46.000 Which sounds like a good thing, doesn't it?

00:37:47.000 Ha ha ha ha!

00:37:48.000 But I've not read this yet.

00:37:49.000 But I hear, Children's Investment Fund, well, you're investing in children, you're helping children, it's not to, like, somehow mess with children, right?

00:37:55.000 So, is gas going to be a good thing?

00:37:56.000 Let's find out.

00:38:01.000 Where he's believed to have made millions of pounds from a campaign that helped trigger the 2008 financial crisis.

00:38:07.000 Remember all that poverty?

00:38:08.000 That devastation?

00:38:09.000 All the political bifurcation and chaos that came from that time?

00:38:12.000 Yes!

00:38:13.000 It was one of the best times of my life!

00:38:16.000 Soaring gas prices, falling home prices and rising unemployment.

00:38:21.000 Sunak then left to co-found his own firm, Thaleem, which had an initial fund of £536 million and is also registered in the Cayman Islands.

00:38:29.000 Oh, what?

00:38:30.000 You think registered it in the Cayman Islands to somehow avoid tax or not pay tax in legal ways?

00:38:30.000 What?

00:38:36.000 You know.

00:38:37.000 He placed the investments he held from his years of working in finance into a blind trust.

00:38:42.000 Which is what we're expected to give the powerful.

00:38:44.000 Such agreements are intended to avoid conflict of interest by handing over control of assets to a third party.

00:38:49.000 But they don't necessarily come with any legal mechanism to prevent the owner of the assets actually dictating what happens.

00:38:55.000 Blind trust!

00:38:56.000 Keep saying it to yourself till you have it for the operations of these powerful forces.

00:39:00.000 Blind trust that the WEF, this big tech company, hedge funds, Goldman Sachs, political power, Oxford University, all these institutions of power, these same words that you hear again and again and again all over the world, don't have any connection to your life and your poverty.

00:39:15.000 If you wanted to define the WEF in the least conspiratorial terms, You could call it a smokescreen that helps billionaires present themselves as philanthropists with funds that are one day going to help people when in fact their money is held in blind trusts and offshore tax accounts while they talk about how we have to change and treat people fairly and respect individuality which by the way I totally believe that we should mean while they keep all their money in blind trusts and Cayman Islands

00:39:45.000 This is how power operates.

00:39:47.000 These are the symptoms and the symbols of true power.

00:39:51.000 This is not just conspiracy theory.

00:39:53.000 These are the markers of what happens.

00:39:55.000 Because real power, as you know, is not in Congress.

00:39:59.000 Real power, as you know, is not in Parliament.

00:40:01.000 Real power is corporate power.

00:40:04.000 Real power is global.

00:40:05.000 They have their own theme.

00:40:09.000 Their own air.

00:40:10.000 Occasionally it breaches and you see it when they have parties while you're locked down.

00:40:15.000 But this is how it's organised.

00:40:17.000 Legal ways of not playing by the rules.

00:40:21.000 Sunak has refused to disclose whether he will profit from a surge in the share price of the COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer Moderna, one of the biggest investments held by the hedge fund he co-founded before entering Parliament.

00:40:34.000 I suppose he's refused to disclose because the information's so good, So good, the information about what went on with that Covid vaccine, that if we knew, it would just blow our minds.

00:40:45.000 During the pandemic, billionaires such as Enon Narayana Murthy, which is his father-in-law, of course, saw their wealth increase.

00:40:52.000 Murthy's fortune was up 35% to 2.3 billion in 2021, while inequality between the richest and the poorest grew.

00:40:58.000 Don't worry though, because we can all come together to protest legally.

00:41:02.000 Britain, like the United States, has a long history of civil rights and opposing power.

00:41:07.000 And luckily, in a democracy, you can always be sure that you'll be able to oppose power freely.

00:41:12.000 Same way they got their Cayman Islands funds and their blind trust, we'll always have the right to take to the streets and make our voices heard.

00:41:18.000 As PM Sunak reappointed Sweller Braverman as Home Secretary, Braverman, before resigning for a breach of ministerial rules, pushed through a last-minute amendment to a widely criticised anti-protest bill that would allow her to apply for injunctions against anyone she deemed likely to carry out protests that could cause a serious disruption to key national infrastructure, prevent access to essential goods or services, or have a serious adverse effect on public safety.

00:41:43.000 The proposal would also give police the power to arrest anyone they suspect of breaching such an injunction.

00:41:48.000 Which is a law so vague they could include anything.

00:41:51.000 Oh, that could affect safety.

00:41:53.000 Beep, that could affect commerce. 1.00

00:41:55.000 Also, a protest is meant to be disruptive.

00:41:57.000 It's good if it doesn't annoy the very people that it's trying to get onside, I would contest, but it has to be a disruption, otherwise it's not a protest.

00:42:05.000 Essentially, what they're saying is, shut up!

00:42:07.000 According to Liberty, the amendment will effectively give the Home Secretary the power to clamp down on protests as and when the government chooses.

00:42:13.000 Well, I'm sure they wouldn't misuse that power.

00:42:15.000 Just look at Canada, where they didn't misuse that power.

00:42:18.000 National emergency now to end the trucker protests.

00:42:21.000 This will have devastating consequences for dissent.

00:42:24.000 The only option we have now is dissent outside of ordinary political spheres.

00:42:29.000 Within political spheres, power has been co-opted and captured.

00:42:33.000 Within media, power has been co-opted and captured.

00:42:35.000 Our only chance is to organize together to look beyond cultural differences and unite against centralized power and demand real democracy.

00:42:43.000 Other measures proposed in the bill include giving courts the power to issue serious disruption prevention orders which can ban individuals from attending protests.

00:42:51.000 Amnesty International said the proposed law would go further than similar legislation in Russia by giving courts the power to issue them without a conviction. 0.94

00:43:00.000 Bypassing judicial process, bypassing jury, magistrates, any ability to form a conversation beyond even what, wait for it, Russia, led by that Maniac, that cancerous, cadaverous, insane imperialist Putin himself. 0.90

00:43:16.000 And I'm not saying he's not any of those things. 0.98

00:43:18.000 Maybe he is.

00:43:19.000 But also, this is worse than what they do in Russia. 0.79

00:43:22.000 The range of conditions that can be imposed on individuals under the orders include 24-7 GPS monitoring and restricted internet usage.

00:43:29.000 Control, power, the ability to regulate with a stranglehold, the actions of a vast population in order that you can pursue your globalist agenda more freely.

00:43:40.000 Police would be given powers to stop and search people or vehicles even if they have no reasonable grounds to do so, even if a senior officer believes protests, offences are likely to take place in an area.

00:43:50.000 I believe a protest could take place in this area.

00:43:53.000 Let's arrest all these people!

00:43:55.000 But what if they take us to court?

00:43:56.000 They can't take us to court.

00:43:58.000 So what we observed in Canada and were disgusted by, legitimate trucker protest, which is now admitted were not violent and never supposed to be violent, were just used to bring about the possibility to introduce emergency laws, although that was blessedly blocked, is not just Isolated to that region anymore.

00:44:15.000 It's truly becoming a globalist agenda.

00:44:18.000 Do you see?

00:44:19.000 Please, I'm not going mad, am I?

00:44:21.000 Are they doing the same thing all over the world?

00:44:24.000 So, shutting down protests, WEF style leaders, financial tyranny, social credit scoring, a global agenda.

00:44:33.000 Oh my god, all those people that we thought were conspiracy theorists and whack jobs, and hey, so maybe some of them were, a little while ago, said a lot of things that are starting to become just things that should be in the news, because they're actually happening.

00:44:47.000 Why do you think they're not in the news?

00:44:49.000 Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, let me know what you think we should do about it. 0.99

00:44:54.000 No, here's the fucking news! 0.99

00:45:00.000 Look at me like proper news. 1.00

00:45:01.000 I've got bits of paper and everything.

00:45:03.000 Really good that.

00:45:04.000 I fell totally in love, says Woonie, when Russell came on to Rumble.

00:45:08.000 I was sure he was a puppet when he was on YouTube, but now his energy is super flow and chill, showing me he's a legit man.

00:45:13.000 Woonie, thank you for coming on board.

00:45:16.000 Other people saying all sorts of things about that video.

00:45:19.000 Joseph, how much is Soonak's wife worth? 0.97

00:45:21.000 She got big bucks in that family. 1.00

00:45:22.000 I think it's 733 million quid, mate.

00:45:25.000 A lot.

00:45:26.000 There or thereabouts.

00:45:28.000 Give or take a few pence.

00:45:30.000 Depends how much is in the Cayman Islands.

00:45:32.000 We don't know, do we?

00:45:33.000 I can't look in the Cayman Islands. That's my journey and visit. What people do in their own private Cayman Islands,

00:45:37.000 in their own private tax havens, is between them and their conscience, if they have one.

00:45:41.000 Stacey Brue 79 says, I started to watch this on YouTube and it stopped broadcasting all of a sudden. Someone didn't

00:45:47.000 like what you said, Russell, you bad, bad boy.

00:45:48.000 Well, actually, we came over here on Rumble because this is where we're allowed to be who we are, man.

00:45:53.000 The Nerd Far Away, I found the whole thing odd. Trust suddenly steps down. Soon that comes in as the WEF's poster

00:45:59.000 child. Yep.

00:46:01.000 Yep.

00:46:01.000 It's all there in the comments, guys.

00:46:04.000 Would you have him as the poster child?

00:46:04.000 Poster child.

00:46:06.000 Yeah, as a poster child.

00:46:08.000 That just means he's on a poster.

00:46:08.000 Yeah.

00:46:09.000 Funny phrase, isn't it?

00:46:10.000 Poster child.

00:46:13.000 Get rid of that.

00:46:14.000 child and it's not yours, that ain't good. Get that out the house or have a really good

00:46:14.000 Yeah.

00:46:19.000 explanation for why you had it in the first place. What's this poster of a child? I don't

00:46:23.000 know really, I was in Athena, because it was 1984, which you're supposed to be researching

00:46:27.000 by the way and I haven't seen you research. I've done a lot of good research. And I was

00:46:30.000 in Athena and I got this cat in a boot and I got this guy pulling his denims down over 0.99

00:46:35.000 his black and white ass baby. 0.99

00:46:36.000 And the woman with the tennis ball. 1.00

00:46:38.000 Tennis woman scratching her ass. 1.00

00:46:40.000 She had a bit of ass. 1.00

00:46:41.000 That was around my Uncle Greg's house. 1.00

00:46:42.000 Was it?

00:46:43.000 He had a poster of that.

00:46:44.000 I didn't feel easy about it, to be honest.

00:46:46.000 That says a lot about your childhood.

00:46:47.000 I didn't like that poster.

00:46:49.000 I didn't...

00:46:51.000 It's not like I was anti-porn.

00:46:53.000 Very far from it.

00:46:54.000 Absolutely.

00:46:54.000 I was very pro-porn as a child.

00:46:56.000 Because, you know, it was a window into wonder.

00:46:59.000 But something about the mood of that I was always confused by.

00:47:04.000 Joseph, Sunak sounds worse than Boris.

00:47:06.000 Should have stuck with Boris.

00:47:07.000 Oh no, you've got to think of Boris. 1.00

00:47:08.000 Boris is mental. 1.00

00:47:10.000 Mental, mental. 0.69

00:47:11.000 So, um, Gareth, I mean, you've got some stuff about these WAF-style connections, or have you got stuff on these protest laws that seem all well-in, which is why I was shouting to Brad during that.

00:47:19.000 I was like, it's all well-in, Brad!

00:47:20.000 It's all well-in, Brad!

00:47:21.000 He goes, yeah, you're doing really well!

00:47:22.000 I give him an approving nod, so I'm really getting it.

00:47:25.000 Well, yeah, we'll save the protest laws for Brad, then.

00:47:27.000 I thought I'd look a bit, because we were talking about you going around Klaus's for Christmas, I thought I'd look into how much that might, it might cost you.

00:47:34.000 Go on.

00:47:35.000 So if you want a WF membership, membership and partnership fees range from $65,000 to $650,000 annually.

00:47:39.000 Partnership fees range from $65,000 to $650,000 annually.

00:47:47.000 If you want to go to an event, you know, one of the Davos events, attendees pay 28 grand

00:47:52.000 just for a ticket with a coveted all-access badge fetching more than 50 grand.

00:47:57.000 And that's before attendees spend thousands, tens of hundreds of thousands on private air travel, ski shallows and entertainment.

00:48:05.000 But also, did you know the American taxpayer helped fund the sponsoring organization with tens of millions of dollars?

00:48:11.000 Since 2013, WF received more than $60 million from U.S.

00:48:13.000 taxpayers.

00:48:17.000 You're paying for it anyway, even if you don't want to go.

00:48:20.000 So there you are, the WF.

00:48:21.000 Is it just a shell organisation that's just propagandist?

00:48:25.000 Is it sort of really whitewashing stroke greenwashing and offering a philanthropic bent on corporate interests?

00:48:32.000 Or is it even more nefarious than that?

00:48:34.000 So many questions, some of which we'll have to answer in our members community after the show.

00:48:39.000 Stay free AF, because now it is time for Books with Brad.

00:48:43.000 So do the titles for Books with Brad.

00:48:45.000 That's what I'm anticipating playing in right now.

00:48:46.000 It's time now for Books with Brad.

00:48:51.000 Suddenly, a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

00:48:56.000 Burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit hole under the hedge.

00:49:05.000 In another moment, down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

00:49:15.000 Hello and welcome to Books with Brad, with me, Russell Brand and philosopher and professor, Brad Evans.

00:49:22.000 What a lovely suit.

00:49:23.000 Thank you very much.

00:49:24.000 Thanks for coming again.

00:49:25.000 I've got some comments here.

00:49:26.000 Jennifer says, I read 1984 when I was in high school in 1983.

00:49:30.000 Cool.

00:49:31.000 Excellent book and honestly rather prophetic.

00:49:33.000 I also read Handmaid's Tale.

00:49:35.000 Then Danish, he says, I started reading and remembered some of it from my kids when they were in school.

00:49:40.000 So there you go.

00:49:41.000 People are joining in with us, Brad.

00:49:45.000 Will you give us a quick review of where we got to last time with our reading?

00:49:49.000 Because I'll tell you where I got to.

00:49:50.000 I didn't read enough of it.

00:49:52.000 Well, yeah, I think the last time we covered the idea of, you know, the dystopian present in which we live, surveillance, the increasing power of big tech and the way that influences our lives, some of the aspects in which Orwell got it wrong.

00:50:06.000 I think that's, you know, worth kind of considering.

00:50:08.000 And how we're kind of living in a moment where I guess, you know, this channel is a good example of this, where we think the fundamental freedoms we took for granted are now becoming true.

00:50:18.000 And as you say, what we used to consider as conspiracy theorists actually looks like evidential fact.

00:50:24.000 And I think that's what we kind of discussed in the last period.

00:50:27.000 So it's interesting to see how this conversation carries on in terms of, you know, particularly with the light of the things you've been talking about recently.

00:50:34.000 Even in today's show we're talking a lot about sort of centralized power that is able to circumvent what we would have regarded as democratic process.

00:50:44.000 We're talking about the influence of lobbying money.

00:50:47.000 Even in our item there, Here's the News, we talked about the protest laws that were snuck in During the time of fluctuation in British politics just a couple of weeks ago.

00:50:59.000 It's an extraordinary trend.

00:51:03.000 It's almost like you can track the emergent symptoms that lead to the full-blown disease of dystopia.

00:51:09.000 Yeah, well, I think we live in an age of dystopian realism.

00:51:12.000 And I think this is the thing which Orwell was really trying to push about, you know, is what does it mean when dystopia becomes the lived condition?

00:51:21.000 And this idea of, you know, thinking through these kind of catastrophic moments in which we live in, where in which governments can basically take hold of a catastrophe and do what they want in terms of government policy.

00:51:32.000 And I think the trucker example is a good example of that in response to the pandemic.

00:51:36.000 It was revealed that those truckers were entirely peaceful during that time, and that there was an internal memo within the Canadian government that suggested that even as they were applying for emergency powers, they knew that the protests were largely non-violent.

00:51:50.000 So I suppose that's an example of it.

00:51:52.000 Brad, are you going to read another bit of 1984 before we move on to our next book?

00:51:58.000 Um, I can do, yeah.

00:52:03.000 Is it going to be about stuff that happened in 1984?

00:52:05.000 It can be that, or it could be to do with protests, whatever.

00:52:08.000 What would you actually prefer?

00:52:09.000 Do one of each while Brad finds a passage.

00:52:11.000 Alright, so in 1984, the top song was Like a Virgin by Madonna.

00:52:16.000 He didn't predict that, did he?

00:52:19.000 You're so clever, why didn't you know Madonna was going to be in the charts?

00:52:23.000 And now do you want something about protest?

00:52:25.000 Or do you want more fun facts?

00:52:25.000 Yes.

00:52:27.000 Don't give me another 1984 fact, it was disrespectful to Brad.

00:52:29.000 Yeah, sorry about that Brad.

00:52:31.000 So, what I thought was really interesting when we were talking about the protest and also we're talking about 1984...

00:52:38.000 Is this element to the anti-protest bill that would allow Sweller Braverman, who's the Home Secretary, to apply for injunctions against anyone she deems likely to carry out protests?

00:52:50.000 So we're not even basing protest laws anymore on whether people do or do commit protests.

00:52:57.000 It's now whether you are likely to commit them.

00:52:59.000 So we're moving to a new phase of essentially kind of anticipating people's behaviors and ascribing our own ideas as to what those behaviors would be.

00:53:08.000 Well Orwell talks about this in terms of thought crime, right?

00:53:10.000 And thought crime in itself is, you know, crime in anticipation of a potentiality.

00:53:15.000 And the thing about a potentiality is you can never disprove it.

00:53:18.000 So that's part of the narrative.

00:53:20.000 How do you disprove a potentiality?

00:53:22.000 The potentiality for violence is always there.

00:53:24.000 And I think that's part of the narrative, which Orwell is really trying to deal with this idea of the thought crime.

00:53:29.000 Yeah.

00:53:31.000 What bit are you going to read then, Brad?

00:53:32.000 It'd be really good if it was a thought crime bit, now that you've said that.

00:53:35.000 That's a lot of pressure.

00:53:36.000 No, you didn't know that Gareth was going to bring that up, because Gareth's a rogue.

00:53:40.000 He's a rogue element.

00:53:42.000 If I always had those powers to arrest people for likely crimes, this guy, I'd arrest him right now.

00:53:47.000 Because you never know when he's going to come up and say 1984, Tiswas was the most watched TV show, or JR, or the whole of America was concerned about Bobby Ewing or something in Dallas.

00:53:58.000 You could say something like that at any moment, couldn't you?

00:54:01.000 You've got a bit there, Brad.

00:54:02.000 Well, I've got a bit here, yeah.

00:54:04.000 Since about that time, war had been literally continuous.

00:54:07.000 Though, strictly speaking, it had not always been the same war.

00:54:10.000 For several months during his childhood, there had been confused street fighting in London itself, some of which he remembered vividly.

00:54:18.000 But to trace out the history of the whole period to say who was fighting whom at any given moment would have been utterly impossible since no written record no spoken word ever mentioned any other ailment apart from the existing one oh my god that's already happening

00:54:35.000 Few street crime is such an amazing like turn of phrase and don't you feel that with the pandemic and the sort of ephemera around it whether it's regulatory or medical is already being sort of posited as the sort of the yesterday news and now we're We're invited to focus our attention on this current conflict which, when we spoke to Jeffrey Sachs on this show, has dubious origins.

00:55:00.000 It's somewhat understood that NATO infringement on the Ukraine and Georgia was a sort of a factor in Putin's eventual aggression, but he talked too about dabbling in elections, the complexity of members of the Ukrainian fighting forces being explicitly Nazis.

00:55:17.000 Do you feel that that has a sort of a Well, what is the conflict?

00:55:23.000 And I think the lesson from Orwell is that the conflict doesn't matter.

00:55:28.000 The conflict invokes a hierarchy.

00:55:30.000 The conflict produces hierarchy.

00:55:32.000 So the nature of the conflict itself is irrelevant as long as there is conflict.

00:55:37.000 And I think that's the key lesson from there and something which we see again in terms of you know with the pandemic there's a war against the virus and it doesn't matter what the war is as long as we can structure society in that way and I think that's one of the key lessons.

00:55:50.000 You think that the objective is to induce these hierarchies and systems of power rather than to address the apparent object?

00:56:00.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:56:01.000 And it's about creating the very conditions through which governments can create states of emergency.

00:56:06.000 And if you're in a state of emergency, you can bypass any normal laws, any normal systems of governance, because you're in this emergency condition.

00:56:15.000 But we're in an age today of unending emergency.

00:56:18.000 Emergency never ends.

00:56:20.000 It's pretty amazing.

00:56:21.000 Let us know in the chat and the comments what you think about Brad's analysis here.

00:56:26.000 And what was it in 1948 or whenever it was that Orwell was writing that made him feel that this was the way that culture was heading?

00:56:35.000 What was happening, Brad?

00:56:37.000 I think he's dealing in response to the aftermath of World War II.

00:56:41.000 There's this real kind of horror of that history.

00:56:43.000 He's fearful of the impending apocalypse from nuclear attack.

00:56:48.000 So he's kind of imagining this kind of dystopian environment in which the world is on the precipice of absolute collapse.

00:56:55.000 Now, governments have mobilized that narrative and said, yes, you are on the precipice of absolute collapse.

00:57:01.000 How can we invoke the very conditions which Orwell was warning against?

00:57:05.000 So the warning becomes the prophecy.

00:57:07.000 And I think that's one of the key narratives that comes through it.

00:57:10.000 Morning becomes the prophecy and it sounds like a wonderful way to induce fear.

00:57:15.000 Okay, well I hope that you will continue to read 984 and give us your comments on it.

00:57:19.000 It's time now to tell you who gets this beautiful bit of art, Chantelle's art here.

00:57:26.000 Look, apparently the 33 people had winning entries, so who do we give it to?

00:57:32.000 We can't reproduce this 33 times.

00:57:34.000 It's value diminishes with every single reproduction.

00:57:38.000 We simply won't do it.

00:57:39.000 The question was, who does Winston fall in love with and ultimately become betrayed by?

00:57:43.000 The answer was, of course, Madonna, as Gareth revealed.

00:57:47.000 No, it was Julia.

00:57:48.000 It was Julia.

00:57:49.000 It was Julia.

00:57:49.000 And three of you got that right.

00:57:51.000 How are we deciding who wins?

00:57:53.000 Oh, there's a hat?

00:57:53.000 There's a name and a hat.

00:57:54.000 Oh, Brad, will you be... Oh, you think... No, I can't take that kind of responsibility, Brad.

00:57:59.000 I'm corruptible.

00:58:00.000 You choose it.

00:58:02.000 I'm not good with that level of authority and power.

00:58:05.000 Pamela Pittman.

00:58:06.000 Pamela Pittman, you are victorious.

00:58:09.000 You have triumphed where others have failed.

00:58:10.000 You will be elevated to the status of a deity.

00:58:13.000 You will have this wonderful piece of art sent to you, which I think will only increase in value.

00:58:18.000 And I suppose, do you know what I'll tell you?

00:58:20.000 That's what capitalism has done to me.

00:58:21.000 I see everything in terms of its value.

00:58:23.000 And I'm meant to be against this stuff.

00:58:25.000 Like someone told me that they had a chateau, I said chateau, in France and that they opened a wardrobe door and that the house had previously belonged to Francis Bacon and he'd sort of scratched some painting on the inside or like etching on the inside of wardrobe and straight away I thought, what's that worth?

00:58:40.000 I wasn't able to think of like the beauty of it.

00:58:44.000 I'm like a sort of a car dealer.

00:58:47.000 I mean, what's happened to me?

00:58:48.000 We've all been intoxicated by it.

00:58:50.000 Bacon's priceless now, so I hope you kept all of it.

00:58:52.000 Well, whoever it was, like, yeah, it's a priceless work of art they've got there.

00:58:58.000 But this idea of having your thought policed, your private intellectual and conscious spaces monitored, formulated and shaped happens in ways that, I mean, sort of obvious.

00:59:09.000 What is civilization?

00:59:10.000 What is acculturation?

00:59:11.000 Other than the sort of set of systems that we all have a consensus around.

00:59:15.000 But when it becomes like when the entire framing is unquestioningly and unconsciously accepted, even in the manner that I just Also, the question is, what is the purpose?

00:59:29.000 And Orwell just says, the purpose of 1984 is no purpose.

00:59:33.000 It's just an experiment.

00:59:35.000 I hate that.

00:59:36.000 To see what we can do with humans.

00:59:38.000 And we're living in an experiment, a constant experiment.

00:59:41.000 I don't like it.

00:59:42.000 And there's no purpose, and that's what makes it so banal.

00:59:45.000 No.

00:59:45.000 And that's what makes it, because it, you know, what's the enemy in 1984?

00:59:48.000 It's love.

00:59:50.000 And it's an experiment to destroy love.

00:59:53.000 You would call it spirituality, right?

00:59:54.000 Yeah, I would.

00:59:55.000 And I would say that's nihilistic, Brad.

00:59:57.000 It's nihilistic.

00:59:58.000 And the destruction of love, I would say, is not purposeless.

01:00:02.000 I would say that, you know, I'm doing that thing.

01:00:04.000 I'm doing it right now.

01:00:06.000 Right, like where I tell people about stuff they know more about than I do.

01:00:09.000 This is what I would say, is that on some level Orwell was writing about this kind of collapse of values even beyond what was happening politically in the post-war era as materialism and rationalism reached a point where it was beginning to erode meaning in a way that was even beyond the geopolitical consequences of the huge loss of those successive wars.

01:00:34.000 The materialism, post-enlightenment rationalism, the kind of loss of purpose, perhaps that's what he was able to prophesize and envisage, that love itself is being annihilated, everything is being measured, everything is being desacralized and banalized to the point where there is no legitimate purpose.

01:00:53.000 Purpose, love, in the end we start to see that these are correlatives.

01:00:57.000 Well Orwell asks what do we love?

01:00:58.000 Peace!

01:01:01.000 Orwell asks, what do we love?

01:01:03.000 Now, you know, you can't have personal love, but you can love the party.

01:01:05.000 There's this brilliant quote Orwell has about nationalism.

01:01:08.000 He says, nationalism is the habit of categorizing human beings like insects.

01:01:12.000 So whole blocks of millions or tens of millions can be conveniently labeled good or bad.

01:01:16.000 And this is, you know, this idea of we love something so much, but it's not real love.

01:01:21.000 It's kind of a supplement love through which you are willing to kill for rather than just simply love for.

01:01:27.000 And I think that's a different, you know, Oil is really bleak, and you kind of think, well, where is the optimism?

01:01:34.000 Because if you read the book, it's a really dark, brutal book.

01:01:37.000 The glimmer of revolution in Orwell, which I know you've touched upon there, is love.

01:01:44.000 This little guy, by a certain little somebody, trying their hardest to make their way through life.

01:01:49.000 But it's the word you've highlighted, it's love.

01:01:53.000 The only thing which Orwell talks about as the only glimmer of hope in Orwell is that concept of love.

01:01:59.000 And it's an intimate love, which the state has to destroy.

01:02:03.000 Though we talk about today, you talk about, you know, brilliantly about the divisiveness of contemporary politics.

01:02:09.000 It's just trying to break actual human connections between people.

01:02:12.000 That we can have a simple care for one another.

01:02:15.000 That we can tolerate one another's petty differences.

01:02:18.000 And I think, you know, that idea of love, unless we can start from that point, then what do we have?

01:02:23.000 Well, we have an experiment.

01:02:25.000 And that's Orwell's lesson.

01:02:26.000 That's pretty good, isn't it?

01:02:27.000 It's a good conversation.

01:02:28.000 Now, our next book is Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, which we're not even going to be able to introduce because we've run out of time.

01:02:36.000 Have we run out of time?

01:02:37.000 Because I've got to wrap up the show.

01:02:38.000 So we're going to have to, Brad, you're going to have to give up your job as a lecturer in both Bristol and wherever the hell it is in Germany, you're lecturing, disappearing mysteriously for weeks on end, and commit yourself full time to being in this armchair, illuminating and edifying us.

01:02:55.000 Can I say two things before?

01:02:56.000 First of all, happy birthday to your daughter.

01:02:58.000 Thank you.

01:02:59.000 Remember the first time we met, I actually exchanged Alice in Wonderland, so we can talk about that next time.

01:03:03.000 And also, you keep explaining stuff to me.

01:03:05.000 I think you humanise politics better than anybody I know.

01:03:09.000 Aw, Brad, you've given me a compliment.

01:03:12.000 1984.

01:03:12.000 Arthur Ashe!

01:03:15.000 Pete Sampras?

01:03:16.000 McEnroe.

01:03:17.000 Oh, Becker!

01:03:18.000 Oh, McEnroe.

01:03:19.000 Navratilo.

01:03:20.000 Oh! 0.60

01:03:20.000 Becker! 0.60

01:03:22.000 Was it Becker?

01:03:23.000 Nope.

01:03:24.000 Absolutely not, no.

01:03:24.000 Becca!

01:03:25.000 Boris, Becca!

01:03:27.000 Becca!

01:03:28.000 You can't be serious.

01:03:30.000 Becca!

01:03:32.000 I'm still high on my humanising politics compliment and I'm going to return to the other area.

01:03:36.000 Hold on, why don't we just have a look at... No, this is a good time to play in.

01:03:39.000 If you want to see a conversation with Gabor Maté, talk about humanising politics, have a look at this little chinwag between me and Gabor Maté.

01:03:45.000 Will you stay with us for Stay Free AF?

01:03:47.000 Of course.

01:03:48.000 Have a look at me and Gabor Maté.

01:03:50.000 This is available on Stay Free AF right now.

01:03:52.000 Addictions, these qualities, connection, self-worth, pain relief, are they good things or bad things?

01:03:59.000 They're good things.

01:04:00.000 Yeah.

01:04:00.000 In other words, addiction, the addicted person just wants to feel like a normal human being.

01:04:05.000 So addiction is neither a choice nor is it a disease.

01:04:08.000 It's an attempt to solve the problem.

01:04:10.000 And that problem is rooted in trauma.

01:04:13.000 So, once we recognize that, why are we judging people for desperately seeking to escape states of extreme emotional distress, isolation, disconnection, pain?

01:04:24.000 So the addiction is not the primary issue.

01:04:26.000 The primary issue is the trauma that induces the mind state from which the person needs to escape.

01:04:35.000 I've told you before and I'll tell you again, there ain't no such thing as aliens, but is there though?

01:04:39.000 We'll be talking to Jeremy Corbell at some point, who claims that he can bring these extraterrestrials right into the fold of our very families.

01:04:47.000 Now, Jeremy Corbin though...

01:04:50.000 I thought you'd got them mixed up then.

01:04:51.000 We're getting Corbyn on to talk about aliens.

01:04:54.000 Jeremy, what the hell happened in Roswell that day?

01:04:58.000 Well, it's not really interesting, Russell.

01:05:00.000 The important thing is, is that if you don't nationalise health services, people are going to suffer.

01:05:06.000 Are they the grey ones with the eyes like almonds?

01:05:06.000 What?

01:05:09.000 Or are they the big tall ones?

01:05:11.000 Um, he ain't coming on because he's got a bad back.

01:05:14.000 We should have Jeremy Corbyn on Monday.

01:05:15.000 Do you reckon we can pressure him?

01:05:17.000 Yeah, or send him some stuff for his back.

01:05:19.000 Or one of those stretchers they take footballers off on.

01:05:21.000 That's right, yeah.

01:05:22.000 Or that thing that Hannibal Lecter was in, where they sort of pushed him like luggage.

01:05:25.000 Yeah.

01:05:26.000 Why don't we push Corbyn in here like luggage? 1.00

01:05:28.000 Like, you know, with a mouth guard on.

01:05:30.000 Yeah, get him some cantake.

01:05:31.000 Yeah, have a cook some fava beans.

01:05:33.000 It's a nice canty.

01:05:34.000 Can't give fava beans though to Chris Pavlovsky, CEO of Rumble.

01:05:38.000 Lurgic to him.

01:05:39.000 Lurgic.

01:05:39.000 Yep.

01:05:41.000 That's what I say.

01:05:41.000 Alright, so next week we've got some good stuff coming on.

01:05:43.000 We do a deep dive, proper good analysis on Elon Musk.

01:05:47.000 Like Elon Musk, Willy Wonka hero.

01:05:49.000 Or just another billionaire.

01:05:51.000 And how does his Twitter agenda interfere with the unipolar objectives, you'll like this Brad, unipolar objectives of American hegemony through their sort of proxy agencies like NATO and all that kind of stuff.

01:06:02.000 It's complex analysis.

01:06:04.000 It is complex.

01:06:05.000 You won't get it anywhere else.

01:06:06.000 You won't be able to.

01:06:07.000 They won't allow it.

01:06:09.000 I think the system's trying to even get to us.

01:06:10.000 They're trying to get to us.

01:06:13.000 Like lefties won't come on here.

01:06:15.000 Well... You lefties, you'd better get... Well, Brad's a lefty.

01:06:18.000 We're not so reductive, actually.

01:06:19.000 You lefties!

01:06:20.000 Better get on here! 0.95

01:06:21.000 What?

01:06:22.000 We don't?

01:06:22.000 We're not reductive?

01:06:23.000 We don't see them like that, no.

01:06:23.000 Those taxonomies.

01:06:24.000 We're not insects.

01:06:25.000 We're not in a nation of insects, are we?

01:06:28.000 It's more complex than that.

01:06:29.000 These categories don't really exist.

01:06:30.000 There's a brilliant... You'll know about that Bourgeois thing, won't you? 0.89

01:06:33.000 That Bourgeois thing was the Chinese emperor's emporium.

01:06:37.000 Have you heard of that?

01:06:39.000 The same course where I first heard of you, Brad, where I did a university course for about an hour and a half, but in it I learned about Edward Said and Foucault and Brad.

01:06:47.000 And like, in it, there was this bit where they read this short story by that, isn't he Argentinian?

01:06:52.000 Borgia.

01:06:53.000 Borgia.

01:06:53.000 And they said that he's got this essay where he talks about this Chinese emperor, and he divides animals up.

01:06:58.000 Instead of dividing them up like rodents and birds and primates, he says like, this area is animals that hurt my feelings last Wednesday.

01:07:08.000 These are animals that shouldn't ever be allowed to stand near a lamp.

01:07:12.000 And like, in so doing, ask you to recognise that our systems of taxonomy to some degree are arbitrary.

01:07:19.000 Yeah?

01:07:20.000 All right.

01:07:20.000 Pretty good.

01:07:22.000 Get on here, Corbyn! 1.00

01:07:23.000 You take some back medicine and get your fucking ass here if you want a revolution. 1.00

01:07:28.000 We're committed. 1.00

01:07:28.000 Sorry, so that's the wrong message. 1.00

01:07:30.000 Jeremy, come on.

01:07:31.000 Gareth loves you.

01:07:32.000 She will fix it, but with less subtext.

01:07:36.000 Jordan Peterson is going to be on on Tuesday.

01:07:39.000 Jordan Peterson is going to be on Tuesday, and we're going to talk to Dr. Joe Dispenza, which you can watch first and in full 7.30am PT, 10.30am ET, 3.30 GMT. When I'm

01:07:51.000 saying that I don't know what it means. No. Don't know what it means. Not a clue. And

01:07:55.000 sign up to StayFreeAF to get direct access to me. I do stuff on my phone all the time on there.

01:08:00.000 It's like 33 quid a year. We give all the money to junkies. Well, one junkie. Me. And

01:08:04.000 like, and like, you get proper access to me. Where do you think you'll go next with it? Thinking

01:08:09.000 of going, er, I'm thinking of going to do a little trip to Kilimanjaro.

01:08:12.000 Oh, yeah.

01:08:13.000 Or going up the Nile.

01:08:14.000 I'm going to recreate... Beg your pardon?

01:08:16.000 I don't think they want to see that.

01:08:18.000 It's just too much access.

01:08:19.000 Only a safe reaction!

01:08:21.000 Straight up the Nile!

01:08:22.000 A little less access, please.

01:08:24.000 Then I'm going to spend a bit of time in Hindu Kush!

01:08:28.000 Half an hour in Hindu Kush is what you need, my man! 0.96

01:08:31.000 And also, you get to join us for these Q&As that go in-depth, and, you know, you'll like it.

01:08:37.000 Of course you'll like it.

01:08:38.000 You'll certainly like it up the Nile, I'll tell you.

01:08:40.000 I'm recreating things I've done in films, but in real life.

01:08:44.000 Get me to the Greek, do me up the Nile, why wouldn't you? 1.00

01:08:47.000 See you next week for another fantastic week of earth-shattering truths.
