00:00:00.000 You You
00:25:14.000 I'm looking for the CEO I'm looking for the CEO
00:25:18.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.
00:25:21.000 Come on, it's hot.
00:25:24.000 It's hot.
00:25:25.000 We're going to be pushing in.
00:25:26.000 We've got a live shot there.
00:25:28.000 Hello there, you awakening wonders.
00:25:32.000 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand in the midst of the spectacle that is the DNC.
00:25:39.000 Remember, we'll be doing our live watch-along.
00:25:42.000 When I say we, I mean me and Neil Oliver will be watching along live as Kamala does her speech.
00:25:49.000 So you can join us for that.
00:25:50.000 Hey, Bongino Army!
00:25:52.000 Sometimes I think it would be good to just sort of go, hey, I'm damn Bongino, like the Secret Service.
00:25:58.000 Bongino Army, you are welcome here.
00:26:02.000 I've spent time with Dan, and I like him a lot.
00:26:04.000 I think Russell is wrong about Starmer.
00:26:06.000 What do you mean by that?
00:26:06.000 You like him?
00:26:08.000 Hey, if you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be there for about 15 minutes.
00:26:11.000 But then, almost as a kind of one-in-the-eye to globalism and the attempts to turn our free and beautiful planet into a technological feudal system, we'll be migrating to Rumble, where you can speak very, very freely, as freely as you like.
00:26:29.000 You might wanna join us and become an Awakened Wonder over here.
00:26:33.000 This is where the Awakened Wonders are.
00:26:35.000 Yeah, over here we do sort of, because of Ryan Atkinson doing that amazing speech, which I recognise was from 2013, we looked at some Mr Bean and analysed some stand-up comedy.
00:26:43.000 We read holy books together.
00:26:45.000 We have fun and we meditate and we try our level best to become better people.
00:26:49.000 So consider becoming an awakened wonder.
00:26:52.000 Why don't ya?
00:26:53.000 So this is how it's shaping up.
00:26:55.000 I'm interested now in performance and theatrics.
00:26:59.000 What is on offer?
00:27:01.000 When it comes to the election in November.
00:27:04.000 Are we going to see Bobby Kennedy joining forces with Trump?
00:27:07.000 Let me know if you think that's likely.
00:27:09.000 Just a Y or an N. Let me know if you think that's going to happen.
00:27:11.000 I've got a feeling that it may happen.
00:27:13.000 Do you know why?
00:27:14.000 Because the whole election cycle has been so mad, disruptive, chaotic and crazy.
00:27:19.000 Like how long ago was it that Trump got shot?
00:27:21.000 A hundred years?
00:27:22.000 When was it that Biden did that debate?
00:27:23.000 A million years ago?
00:27:24.000 Do you know what I mean?
00:27:24.000 It's just the whole thing That time is moving past in great glaciers of data now.
00:27:31.000 It's almost impossible to imagine that time these days is moving at the same rate as it might have done when once we roamed as arboreal ape-like things, yet touched with divinity.
00:27:43.000 Surely the Nazarene knew a different clock than we.
00:27:47.000 Can time itself even be regarded objectively?
00:27:50.000 Such questions as these we'll surely answer over the next hour.
00:27:54.000 but also I'm going to look at the DNC and how that even in like a few minutes you'll hear them say stuff like you know I'm a pretty regular person I just grew up in Chicago then all of a sudden they'll say um you know billionaires are bad and we have to get billionaires out of politics which seems like a pretty good idea then they'll say like you have a billionaire come out and sort of boast I mean the whole thing It's astonishing and doesn't really even make sense.
00:28:19.000 They're still obviously obsessed with Trump.
00:28:22.000 The biggest campaign tool they have is anti-Trump.
00:28:26.000 Some people are saying that the audio needs to be sorted out and some people are saying that the video is slow.
00:28:32.000 You got that in the gallery guys? Nice, thank you.
00:28:34.000 Donald Trump!
00:28:46.000 They care about Donald Trump a great deal. A lot of you are saying that it's likely that Bobby Kennedy
00:28:51.000 will be... will emerge into a...
00:28:55.000 We'll be looking at Trump's interview with Theo Von.
00:28:57.000 hardline Trump supporters? Well they'll be okay because I suppose the sense will
00:29:01.000 be that he's being absorbed. Or what about hardline Bobby Kennedy
00:29:05.000 supporters who might feel adversarial towards Trump? All of this conversation
00:29:09.000 is happening as a result of Nicole Shanahan, he's running mate, going on a
00:29:13.000 few shows and talking about it. We'll be looking at that, we'll be looking at
00:29:16.000 Trump's interview with Theo Vaughn, we'll be looking at Peter Thiel and his
00:29:19.000 appearance on Joe Rogan.
00:29:21.000 All of that will be after the first 15 minutes where we'll just be chatting about stuff that went on at the DNC.
00:29:26.000 The DNC is the place to be.
00:29:28.000 Matt Walsh is there.
00:29:30.000 Who's our friend?
00:29:31.000 Jimmy Dore is there.
00:29:33.000 We've thought about going.
00:29:34.000 We're just gonna satisfy ourselves with a little watch along.
00:29:37.000 I don't know what it'll be like there.
00:29:39.000 Let's have a little look at this moment Where Barack Obama shows that he's still got it.
00:29:45.000 It's some oratory flair and some good humour.
00:29:49.000 Although, what you have to recognise is that a lot of the time when Trump is being condemned, he's being condemned from the perspective often of his vulgarity.
00:29:57.000 Don't you think that?
00:29:58.000 People think he's vulgar.
00:29:59.000 He's said very vulgar things.
00:30:01.000 And people sort of seem to think that he's an inappropriate figure.
00:30:05.000 Note yet still the absence of real policy.
00:30:09.000 Note yet still Still, the manifesto is still the sort of Joe Biden
00:30:40.000 manifesto and you could say that, well, you know, Kamala Harris is
00:30:43.000 just replacing Joe Biden.
00:30:44.000 But in itself, it is a vague and obfuscatory affair that is deliberately designed to prevent you from grasping
00:30:52.000 what the meaning is at the core of all this.
00:30:54.000 And that is because there's nothing there.
00:30:56.000 But you've got to know that the Democrat Party must still be bereaved
00:31:00.000 by the loss of a.
00:31:01.000 Bye.
00:31:03.000 A charismatic frontman like this one.
00:31:06.000 Here's a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator
00:31:32.000 nine years ago.
00:31:34.000 It has been a constant stream of gripes and...
00:31:41.000 It's a tacit condemnation, and explicit in fact, that Trump is a billionaire, solipsist,
00:31:49.000 narcissist, complaining about only his personal...
00:32:08.000 ...in the political forum to vent that dissatisfaction.
00:32:13.000 Yet though, we know that the extraordinary quality that Trump has, perhaps beyond...
00:32:25.000 ...anything else, is an odd popular appeal.
00:32:28.000 Ordinary Americans, cheesecake factory, mall...
00:32:40.000 ...out-wandering Americans...
00:32:46.000 Agricultural Americans.
00:32:47.000 Half of all Americans like Donald Trump.
00:32:52.000 So the charge that he's a kind of solipsist seems odd, don't it?
00:32:57.000 That's an odd charge.
00:32:58.000 and then the idea that he is a sort of a member of an elite class.
00:33:17.000 Well that's where it gets ridiculous because the Democratic Party is the vehicle of elitism.
00:33:24.000 Not only in its financial structures, but also that it kind of creates stars.
00:33:31.000 Barack Obama, I think, is the apotheosis of the politician-as-star phenomena.
00:33:37.000 Well-groomed, brilliant communicator, slick, great performer, but now, of course, an extremely wealthy individual.
00:33:45.000 No one should seek to gain the appeal and affection of ordinary people by claiming that Donald Trump, say, or anybody else, ought be condemned on the basis of their wealth.
00:33:57.000 If, like Netflix entrepreneur Barack Obama, you are proper caked up, as we say in the UK.
00:34:05.000 Unless it's illegal now.
00:34:06.000 Is slang illegal yet?
00:34:08.000 Grievances.
00:34:10.000 That's actually been getting worse now that he's afraid of losing the Commonwealth.
00:34:17.000 There's the childish nicknames.
00:34:20.000 The nicknames are pretty good.
00:34:21.000 People like the nicknames.
00:34:22.000 The crazy conspiracy theories.
00:34:25.000 A lot of us like the conspiracy theories.
00:34:29.000 This weird obsession with crowd sizes.
00:34:34.000 That's a good joke, but the sort of condemnation of crowds and aesthetics,
00:34:40.000 that is a sort of a bilateral attack, isn't it?
00:34:43.000 It just goes on and on.
00:35:02.000 And on.
00:35:04.000 And on.
00:35:06.000 The other thing is, if you're watching on Rumble right now, I see you all
00:35:14.000 All of the comments saying that there's problems with the stream and there's a DDOS attack and that we're getting hacked and all that kind of stuff.
00:35:22.000 I get you and we're doing everything we can to address and remedy those problems.
00:35:31.000 stay with us we will address those challenges.
00:35:34.000 I heard someone compare Trump to the neighbor who keeps running his leaf
00:35:53.000 blower outside your window every minute of every day.
00:36:01.000 I heard someone compare Trump to the neighbor who keeps running his leaf blower outside your window every minute of
00:36:08.000 every day.
00:36:09.000 Now, from a neighbor, that's exhausting.
00:36:15.000 From a president, It's just dangerous.
00:36:22.000 Everything is so strategically scrutinized and every word uttered, I suggest, has been think-tanked to within an inch.
00:36:32.000 The ongoing use of the word dangerous must be deliberate.
00:36:37.000 Indeed, the challenge that I most have when watching political discourse is The feeling that I am being lied to, being duped, the event is staged.
00:36:47.000 Now, of course, Obama is there and that whole DNC is a literal exercise in preaching to the converted.
00:36:56.000 But you'll note over the course of our analysis that it's become more and more like an entertainment commodity, with ideas ripped straight off from MTV.
00:37:05.000 And I should know, I've been there.
00:37:07.000 Like politicians appearing in the crowd to give speeches.
00:37:11.000 Now, so if Obama says stuff like he's dangerous, that's deliberate.
00:37:15.000 If Bernie Sanders is allowed to come on the stage and say, billionaires from both parties shouldn't be donating anymore, we have to get money out of politics, which by the way, is exactly the sort of idea that could change the system, it probably wouldn't be enough.
00:37:29.000 Surely at this point we recognise that it's the institutions and systems themselves that are In urgent need of a considerable and radical reckoning.
00:37:38.000 A reckoning that they would not withstand.
00:37:40.000 If 9-11 were given the scrutiny and analysis that it warranted, we would emerge with interesting conclusions.
00:37:46.000 If the pandemic period was scrutinised and analysed, just there's a few off the top of my head, Natural immunity, efficacy of lockdowns, vulnerability of children versus the elderly.
00:37:59.000 What conclusions would you emerge with?
00:38:00.000 The profits of pharmaceutical companies, the censorship of the government, the collaboration between social media companies and the state, the censoring and smearing of vocal opponents.
00:38:09.000 You would emerge with the inescapable conclusion that the institutions that you fund and support are entirely corrupted and that the only sensible thing will be to walk away from them.
00:38:20.000 To invest in parallel economies, likely through cryptocurrency.
00:38:24.000 To resist at all costs centralised digital currencies.
00:38:27.000 To demand independent media.
00:38:29.000 To demand localised democracy.
00:38:31.000 If you can aggregate information for commercial purposes through Uber taxis or Airbnb, surely you can aggregate and communicate for political purposes using technology. These explorations won't take
00:38:46.000 place as long as the project remains legitimized centralization and in order
00:38:51.000 to do that you have to make people afraid and in order to do that you
00:38:55.000 have to tell people that Barack, that Donald Trump is dangerous.
00:39:01.000 Now, my understanding is we're having some challenges still on Rumble.
00:39:05.000 Stay with us.
00:39:06.000 I hope you're watching this on demand.
00:39:07.000 If you're watching this on demand, you won't be having any trouble at all.
00:39:11.000 Stay with us, guys, on Rumble.
00:39:13.000 I'll see you, Roxy McGowan and Lisa Rivera.
00:39:16.000 And wide weasel, you need to reboot and relaunch.
00:39:19.000 I'm going to play in a clip for us now.
00:39:22.000 This is amazing.
00:39:23.000 This is Gavin Newsom doing essentially something that once you would have only seen at MTV VMA award ceremonies, a from the crowd piece.
00:39:34.000 How much effort, analysis, scrutiny and care has gone into the selection of the crowd around him?
00:39:39.000 Like he's ensconced by the elderly, presumably to make it look like we're not
00:39:44.000 literally MTV. We've not surrounded ourselves with bikini models and believe me they have
00:39:51.000 cast very well as a couple older ladies and then Nancy Pelosi herself
00:39:56.000 staring baffled and oddly vacant into an imaginary future, a future that I hope
00:40:04.000 remains imaginary. Have a look at this.
00:40:08.000 My name is Governor Gavin Newsom.
00:40:14.000 Thank you.
00:40:18.000 From the great state of Nancy Pelosi.
00:40:21.000 I come from a state like our nation of dreamers, of doers, of entrepreneurs, of innovators, that prides itself on being on the leading and cutting edge of new ideas.
00:40:37.000 California is the most diverse state in the world's most diverse democracy.
00:40:42.000 And we pride ourselves, we pride ourselves on our ability to live together and advance together and prosper together across every conceivable and imaginable difference.
00:40:54.000 But the thing we pride ourselves most on is that we believe the future happens in California first.
00:41:01.000 And Democrats, I've had the privilege for over 20 years to see that future taking shape
00:41:13.000 with a star in Alameda courtroom by the name of Kamala Harris.
00:41:22.000 I saw that star.
00:41:24.000 I saw that star fighting for criminal justice, racial justice, economic justice, social justice.
00:41:32.000 I saw that star get even brighter as Attorney General of California, as a United States
00:41:51.000 Senator and as Vice President of the United States of America.
00:41:55.000 Kamala Harris has always done the right thing.
00:42:13.000 A champion for voting rights.
00:42:17.000 Civil rights, LGBTQ rights, the rights for women and girls.
00:42:24.000 So Democrats and independents, it's time for us to do the right thing.
00:42:30.000 And that is to elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States of America.
00:42:36.000 California, we proudly cast our 482 votes for the next president.
00:42:46.000 Kamala Harris.
00:42:53.000 There you go, pretty unexamined enthusiasm right there.
00:43:12.000 You know, extraordinary when politics and entertainment fuse to that degree.
00:43:16.000 It's ridiculous even to expect authenticity.
00:43:40.000 but as the legacy media continues to carry water at the DNC for that aspect of the establishment
00:43:58.000 we're seeing more and more fascinating appearances and performances
00:44:06.000 from Donald Trump from Donald Trump
00:44:18.000 Donald Trump now has been on Theo Von's podcast which is not something I ever imagined I'd see and it's given us some incredible moments.
00:44:29.000 Let's have a look though, a rather sensitive part of the conversation with Theo Von,
00:44:35.000 Von talked about his own struggles with addiction and Donald Trump talked about the
00:44:47.000 curious fact that he's never used alcohol or drugs of any kind.
00:45:03.000 Let's have a look at that.
00:45:05.000 Yeah, yeah, I noticed at the events you don't drink and you don't drink or smoke, right?
00:45:08.000 I don't drink or smoke.
00:45:09.000 You never have.
00:45:18.000 No, I never have.
00:45:19.000 I had a great brother who taught me a lesson.
00:45:23.000 Don't drink.
00:45:24.000 Don't drink.
00:45:25.000 And he said, don't smoke.
00:45:26.000 He smoked and he drank and he was a great guy.
00:45:29.000 He was a handsome, very handsome guy.
00:45:31.000 Is he older?
00:45:32.000 He was older?
00:45:33.000 Quite a bit older, yeah.
00:45:34.000 And he would, he had a problem with alcohol and smoked a lot.
00:45:39.000 But you know I tell people Well no drugs
00:46:05.000 You You
00:46:09.000 You Bye.
00:46:15.000 No drinking, no cigarettes.
00:46:17.000 Yeah.
00:46:18.000 I tell that to my kids all the time.
00:46:20.000 I'd say, no drugs, no drinking, no smoking.
00:46:23.000 And he had, well, he'd always tell me, he'd say, never.
00:46:27.000 So he was, you know, really old enough that you would look up to somebody and I'd look up to him.
00:46:50.000 Did you admire him?
00:46:51.000 Yeah, I admired so much about him.
00:46:54.000 He had so much going.
00:46:55.000 He had the look.
00:46:57.000 He had an unbelievable personality, like an incredible personality.
00:47:01.000 What was his name, Donald?
00:47:02.000 his name was Fred.
00:47:04.000 Fred Trump and And he had a problem with alcohol.
00:47:28.000 He got.
00:47:29.000 addicted to it because it's and you know they say alcohol is tougher
00:47:32.000 than you
00:47:44.000 Drugs to get off Bye-bye.
00:48:05.000 I don't know if you've ever...
00:48:18.000 I heard that I'm in recovery.
00:48:25.000 I've been in recovery, so like most of the last 10 years.
00:48:40.000 From alcohol?
00:48:41.000 From drugs and alcohol.
00:48:43.000 So which is worse?
00:48:45.000 For me, drugs is the problem, but if I have a drink, then it's tougher for me to prevent myself from getting it.
00:48:50.000 It sets off a chain.
00:48:51.000 Yeah.
00:48:52.000 But which is harder to quit?
00:48:53.000 I've heard alcohol is harder to quit.
00:48:56.000 ...than drugs, if that makes sense.
00:48:58.000 I don't know.
00:48:58.000 Oh, yeah.
00:48:59.000 I mean, I can only imagine, because it's probably more readily available.
00:49:01.000 More readily?
00:49:02.000 Well, and it's social, and you're sitting, and everyone's drinking and all.
00:49:05.000 Yeah, really.
00:49:06.000 You go to a dinner, and everybody's eating, like, you know, Xanaxes or something, you know, for appetizers.
00:49:11.000 Usually, people are having, like, a mint, you know, a mint julep or something a little fancier.
00:49:15.000 Negroni, I just learned about.
00:49:16.000 Right.
00:49:18.000 But, yeah.
00:49:18.000 So, you have a problem with that, then?
00:49:20.000 Yeah.
00:49:20.000 Oh, wow.
00:49:22.000 It's been in my family.
00:49:22.000 My family, it's like...
00:49:25.000 Yeah.
00:49:26.000 Can you stay away from it?
00:49:27.000 Yeah.
00:49:27.000 I've done a good job.
00:49:28.000 So how long have you been off?
00:49:29.000 I go to recovery meetings.
00:49:31.000 I've been off most recently a little over two years.
00:49:34.000 Do you ever go back on?
00:49:35.000 Yeah.
00:49:36.000 I've had stints where I go back on.
00:49:37.000 And you don't control it?
00:49:40.000 It goes downhill pretty quick.
00:49:42.000 No kidding.
00:49:42.000 So you think it's going to be easy.
00:49:43.000 You think you're controlling it.
00:49:45.000 And then you're, damn, yeah, you're doing go-karting, racing with hookers and stuff.
00:49:49.000 It gets bad.
00:49:49.000 The only way to do it is not to do it, right?
00:49:51.000 Right.
00:49:51.000 So then in the end, you're like, I have to not do it.
00:49:53.000 Did you see, like, with your brother, could you see it or anything?
00:49:58.000 Oh, yeah.
00:49:59.000 Man.
00:49:59.000 I was amazed because he had so much going, had everything going.
00:50:05.000 I think he probably, it happened in College at a fraternity maybe or I don't know somewhere along the line it happened and all of a sudden You know, this is not unique.
00:50:16.000 This is a very common story, unfortunately, but and then the family would see it and start to notice it and It didn't get better it didn't get better I was amazed, you know, he lived For so long in bad conditions, you know in in terms of I was amazed that his body could hold out it held out and it had bad moments and And, but his body was unbelievably strong that it could withstand it.
00:50:43.000 Yeah, it's a body, right?
00:50:49.000 It's so resilient.
00:50:52.000 Yeah.
00:50:52.000 Do you remember the last time that you saw him or spent with him?
00:50:55.000 I do and I'm sorry to ask.
00:51:02.000 Ask about it. Yeah, I know. Well, you know, the reason it's good talking about it is it
00:51:12.000 might help other people.
00:51:13.000 If it helps one other person, it's worth the conversation.
00:51:16.000 We talk about that stuff a lot on our podcast.
00:51:19.000 Yeah, a lot of our audience struggles or has struggled with alcoholism, addiction, intimacy disorders, all types of stuff, you know, so it's like a it's pretty kind of normal conversation.
00:51:30.000 But, you know, the interesting thing is, and I tell people, So I never had a cigarette, and I've never had a glass of alcohol.
00:51:38.000 And my brother was incredible.
00:51:40.000 He would tell me, because he knew I had a problem.
00:51:42.000 And he'd say, don't ever drink, don't ever smoke.
00:51:44.000 He'd always add smoking because he did smoke a lot, which is, you know, not very healthy.
00:51:51.000 But he'd say, don't ever drink, don't ever drink.
00:51:53.000 He'd tell me every time I said, don't ever drink, because he knew he had this addiction.
00:51:58.000 And I never had a glass of alcohol.
00:52:01.000 Never ever did I have a glass of alcohol because of him.
00:52:05.000 And I would say that if I did drink, I could conceivably be the type of personality that
00:52:16.000 would have, like you, that would have a problem.
00:52:19.000 But I never had.
00:52:20.000 And the only thing I say to people is, too late for the people that you're talking about.
00:52:27.000 But if you don't drink, you don't miss it.
00:52:29.000 I mean, I don't even think about alcohol or.
00:52:38.000 It's not a part of your world.
00:52:39.000 I don't think about cigarettes.
00:52:41.000 I don't think about any of that.
00:52:43.000 If you don't take drugs or if you don't have alcohol, it's real easy not to drink it.
00:52:48.000 I had a friend who went to the Wharton School of Finance with me.
00:52:53.000 He was a very smart guy.
00:52:55.000 Where is it?
00:52:55.000 Wharton School?
00:52:56.000 That's in Philadelphia.
00:52:57.000 That's at Penn.
00:52:58.000 Yeah.
00:52:59.000 Rocky.
00:53:00.000 Right.
00:53:00.000 And it's a great, great school.
00:53:02.000 Great business school.
00:53:04.000 And it's part of the University of Pennsylvania, the business school.
00:53:07.000 Oh, it's nice down there.
00:53:08.000 Yeah.
00:53:09.000 My friend's brother went there or something.
00:53:11.000 Well, then he was smart because it's a great school.
00:53:16.000 But this person that I met, he hated the taste of scotch.
00:53:21.000 Hated it.
00:53:21.000 Couldn't stand it.
00:53:23.000 But he insisted on having it because he wanted, he felt it was important to be able to drink.
00:53:28.000 I said, no, just don't drink.
00:53:30.000 He said, you know, to be successful in business, you have to sort of interact and you have to drink.
00:53:34.000 And I said, don't do it.
00:53:36.000 Anyway, he became an unbelievable alcoholic.
00:53:40.000 Uncontrollable alcoholic.
00:53:41.000 Oh, I thought you meant like one of the best.
00:53:43.000 And he died.
00:53:43.000 Yeah, and he died.
00:53:44.000 He was a, you know, he, but he hated the taste of scotch.
00:53:48.000 And he still did.
00:53:49.000 And then he couldn't live without it.
00:53:50.000 Wow.
00:53:50.000 Literally.
00:53:51.000 Well, I think I noticed a lot of like in the recovery rooms and stuff, it's a lot of people that have, they're missing something inside of them.
00:53:57.000 And so they could be, they take on like, you know, they want to try and fill it up with something else.
00:54:02.000 Um, yeah.
00:54:03.000 Do you remember the last time that you spent with your brother?
00:54:05.000 I do.
00:54:06.000 And he'd have periods where he'd get sick.
00:54:10.000 Very sick.
00:54:11.000 And we thought we'd lose him or we lost him.
00:54:16.000 Then he'd get better.
00:54:16.000 And that happened five or six times.
00:54:19.000 I mean, we thought you lost him.
00:54:22.000 And then he got better.
00:54:24.000 And it was amazing.
00:54:25.000 I mean, he was, you know, certainly very strong in that sense.
00:54:29.000 And I just tell people it's so tragic.
00:54:33.000 Don't drink.
00:54:33.000 Just don't drink.
00:54:34.000 Yeah.
00:54:35.000 And you're not going to have a problem.
00:54:36.000 Like even you, if you didn't drink, you would never.
00:54:38.000 But you probably maybe wouldn't be successful like you.
00:54:42.000 I suppose is a new side of Donald Trump, a softer, more open Donald Trump, but is that too a response to focus groups and scrutiny and analysis?
00:54:55.000 Can we trust that anything is authentic?
00:54:58.000 Because what many people mostly enjoy about Donald Trump, he's kind of unbridled quality.
00:55:05.000 Someone that will just call it how it is.
00:55:08.000 Say the unthinkable.
00:55:10.000 Think the unsayable and ultimately say them things publicly and plainly.
00:55:17.000 I reckon that what we're experiencing I suppose as we move closer and closer to the election is a refinement of messaging and for Donald Trump I suppose it's curious because he's so masterful.
00:55:29.000 Impulsiveness and a kind of expression of what feel like pretty reflexive quips.
00:55:35.000 To see him pivot is interesting.
00:55:38.000 I reckon it's likely that we'll see changes when it comes to the inclusion of Bobby Kennedy.
00:55:45.000 Because the slick and synthetic DNC machine has fired itself up into something quite spectacular.
00:55:54.000 If you're still persevering with the stream, thank you so much for staying with us and we really appreciate your patience and tolerance.
00:56:02.000 Let's have a look at what else has been going on at that extraordinary event.
00:56:07.000 For example, I've enjoyed the moment where Bernie Sanders points out that billionaires of both sides of the aisle have to be quiet and controlled and curtailed
00:56:18.000 and we have to get money out of politics.
00:56:20.000 At the very top of that to-do list is the need to get big money out of our political process.
00:56:31.000 Billionaires in both parties should not be able to buy elections, including primary elections.
00:56:47.000 you Right, so that's a pretty clear message that billionaires are bad, Donald Trump was bad, Barack Obama says, coming down that golden escalator, and you almost want to believe, you almost want to believe, don't you, that the Democratic National Convention is a party where you're seeing people from a variety of backgrounds coming together, surely in order to represent the interests of ordinary people, but then just after you've seen this condemnation of billionaires,
00:57:15.000 Who should they bring out but JB Pritzker, a billionaire, to boast about being a better billionaire than the billionaire they've just bashed?
00:57:25.000 Donald Trump thinks that we should trust him on the economy because he claims to be very rich.
00:57:32.000 But take it from an actual billionaire.
00:57:40.000 Also, a raucous roar of approval for billionaires.
00:57:44.000 So what are billionaires?
00:57:45.000 Are billionaires bad or are billionaires good?
00:57:48.000 Are there good billionaires and bad billionaires?
00:57:50.000 Or is being a billionaire a complex thing because it's ultimately being a human being?
00:57:54.000 Is it true what Solzhenitsyn said that the line through between good and evil runs through the heart of every single billionaire other than through nations religions or creeds?
00:58:03.000 Is it hard to reduce everything to a simple and effective message?
00:58:08.000 Is it ridiculous to turn politics into some vast ever-growing unifying centralized totalitarian entity and sell it to us as entertainment?
00:58:20.000 Is it preposterous really even that The wife of a former president would participate in an event like this.
00:58:28.000 I mean, do you have the wives of people in other professions participate in their work?
00:58:33.000 That's a Bill Burr joke, right?
00:58:34.000 You know, what we have to remember is that this has gotten so close To be in little more than synthesis, little more than distraction, whether it's the southern extraction of Joe Biden turning into a celebration of Joe Biden, the elevation of Kamala Harris, who to little more than a month ago was regarded kind of as a joke, particularly when it comes to matters of public oratory,
00:58:58.000 Into a dignified and semi-sanctified individual.
00:59:01.000 Aren't we witnessing the lack of any core?
00:59:05.000 The lack of any centre?
00:59:06.000 The lack of any meaning?
00:59:08.000 All that we have is spectacle.
00:59:10.000 Let's have a look at a few moments from Michelle Obama's speech.
00:59:13.000 Again, I would say a very accomplished public performer.
00:59:16.000 And wasn't it fascinating actually to see Donald Trump Being so sort of sweet.
00:59:21.000 I mean, after all this condemnation, 147 mentions of Trump at the DNC.
00:59:25.000 Look at this.
00:59:26.000 Is this a different type of Donald Trump that we're experiencing?
00:59:29.000 What's happening in this bizarro world?
00:59:32.000 We're also keeping an eye on new comments from Donald Trump, who is out on the campaign trail today.
00:59:36.000 That is where we find CNN's Kristen Holmes at this hour.
00:59:39.000 Kristen, you spoke to Donald Trump directly earlier.
00:59:42.000 What did he tell you?
00:59:43.000 you. Well, Kelly, I asked you about the DNC in particularly.
00:59:50.000 Former President Barack Obama's speech tonight. I.
00:59:56.000 I cited the fact that in 2020, Obama said that Trump never grew into the role as president.
01:00:05.000 And then I asked him for essentially a pre-battle of the speech.
01:00:09.000 This is what he said, almost a complete turnaround of what we have heard him say about former President Obama before.
01:00:20.000 I like him.
01:00:21.000 I think he's a nice gentleman, but he was very, very weak on trade.
01:00:25.000 If you take a look at what happened to our country trade-wise, it was a disaster.
01:00:30.000 Take a look at Japan, take a look at China, take a look at what happened with some of these countries, what they did.
01:00:35.000 But I happen to like him.
01:00:37.000 I respect him and I respect his wife.
01:00:41.000 Keelan, I respect him and I respect him.
01:00:43.000 I expect to respect his wife.
01:00:45.000 obviously very different. Rather sweet as a matter of fact and is it this is these
01:00:51.000 are some of the questions that present themselves is it that Donald Trump has
01:00:54.000 always been sort of a kind of a sweet person albeit one with a great facility
01:00:59.000 when it comes to coming up with nicknames and off-the-cuff rebuttals or
01:01:02.000 is it that we're seeing strategic changes throughout the protagonists of
01:01:08.000 this campaign with Barack Obama calling Trump dangerous with Michelle Obama
01:01:13.000 saying that billionaires will be extracted from culture or they should be
01:01:16.000 cynical about billionaires at least her mama used to say she says in her speech
01:01:21.000 and then Jeff Pritzker emerging from the midst of nowhere at all
01:01:26.000 Saying, like, that billionaires are great, almost drumming his fingers on his thumb.
01:01:30.000 Whoa-ho-ho!
01:01:31.000 I am a billionaire, and it takes one to know one!
01:01:34.000 Before we have a look at Michelle Obama, let's have a look at this little message from one of our sponsors at Upside Cash.

01:02:54.000 Thanks very much.
01:02:54.000 Now back to our content.
01:02:58.000 Here's Michelle Obama talking about wealth, and the significance of wealth, and I suppose therefore inequality, and the distribution of power.
01:03:09.000 And you question again, is the entire convention simply a performance?
01:03:14.000 Simply an attempt to create a robust enough seeming synthesis that you'll forget that this party is entirely controlled by powerful corporate and globalist interests.
01:03:28.000 That the election is almost a pageant to ensure that power continues performing as it has been up until this point.
01:03:38.000 And isn't it, again, odd to note that with all of this clamouring and yearning for government, that the people you're watching talking are already in government right now.
01:03:50.000 And all of these pledges and all of these promises could be immediately fulfilled if there was any kind of will to fulfill them.
01:04:00.000 You see, my mom, in her steady, quiet way, lived out that striving sense of hope every single day of her life.
01:04:13.000 She believed that all children, all people, have value.
01:04:19.000 That anyone can succeed if given the opportunity.
01:04:24.000 She and my father didn't aspire to be wealthy.
01:04:27.000 In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.
01:04:33.000 They understood that it wasn't enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning.
01:04:43.000 So, my mother volunteered at the local school.
01:04:47.000 She... Whoa!
01:04:50.000 Well, it seems that the reason that we are experiencing these challenges in this stream right now on Rumble and on YouTube is because we are personally, literally, under DDoS attack.
01:05:00.000 This is an extraordinary moment for us.
01:05:03.000 Almost honoured, in a way, to be under DDoS attack.
01:05:06.000 You'd think I'd had enough of attacks with the way things have been recently, but we will continue to stream, and of course this content will be available in an unexpurgated state on Rumble On Demand.
01:05:15.000 So if you're watching this on YouTube, we're going to leave right now in an attempt to create better conditions for our ongoing stream.
01:05:22.000 We'll be talking a bit about Trump on Theo Von, we'll be talking a bit about Peter Thiel on Rogan, but mostly I'm interested in the news that Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump Might form an alliance to oppose what seems, on the basis of the DNC, to be an unassailable assault on systems of power.
01:05:41.000 Let's have a look, first of all, at Theo Von.
01:05:43.000 Click the link in the description.
01:05:44.000 Become an Awake and Wonder.
01:05:45.000 Lord alone knows we need your support to keep making this content.
01:05:48.000 Let's have a look at Theo Von teaching Donald Trump... It's not teaching Donald Trump how to take cocaine, but talking about taking cocaine.
01:05:57.000 I mean, it's gonna be surely... Well, I mean...
01:06:01.000 Until I thought about it, I didn't know that I wanted to see Theo von teaching Donald Trump how to take a- I mean, I hope that there's actually a demo.
01:06:07.000 Yeah, yeah, I noticed at the events you don't drink, and you don't drink or smoke, right?
01:06:11.000 I don't drink or smoke.
01:06:12.000 You never have.
01:06:13.000 No, I never have.
01:06:14.000 Not that again.
01:06:15.000 That's the, um... Yeah, 20, sorry.
01:06:18.000 No, I would just do cocaine.
01:06:20.000 That was really... Yeah.
01:06:22.000 That's down and dirty, right?
01:06:27.000 Yeah.
01:06:28.000 But you don't anymore?
01:06:29.000 No, I don't do it anymore, man.
01:06:30.000 And I'm not doing it.
01:06:31.000 Is it too much?
01:06:32.000 Too much to handle?
01:06:33.000 Some of the stuff started to get a real rattle in it too.
01:06:35.000 I don't know where we were even getting it from in this country, but...
01:06:39.000 Yeah, it started to make me feel like I was a mechanic or something.
01:06:41.000 So the thing you go back to then is alcohol, for the most part.
01:06:45.000 Right.
01:06:45.000 It's quite good, isn't it?
01:06:46.000 Because Donald Trump... Like, he did have the... Like, to go, what?
01:06:53.000 You thought he was a mechanic?
01:06:55.000 Like, if I was having a conversation with Theo Von, and I haven't had one, but I'm... No, I will, because I'm really into Theo Von.
01:07:01.000 Like, and he went...
01:07:03.000 Thought I was a mechanic or something!
01:07:04.000 I go, what do you mean by that?
01:07:05.000 What do you mean you thought you were a mechanic?
01:07:07.000 I'd really explore that.
01:07:08.000 But I suppose the nature of this conversation is not that Donald Trump is going to investigate exactly what Theobald means when he's talking about his experiences on coke.
01:07:16.000 Yeah, but what I want probably is cocaine, but I know that if I have a drink, then it'll give me, it'll like, be like, okay, well, I had a drink, then I can do this.
01:07:24.000 Is cocaine a stronger, uh... Oh, yeah.
01:07:27.000 Up?
01:07:28.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:07:29.000 Trump looks like he's genuinely considering his options at this point.
01:07:32.000 So you see, you're way up with cocaine more than anything else you can think of.
01:07:36.000 Cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie.
01:07:38.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:07:39.000 You'll be...
01:07:40.000 What about meth, though?
01:07:41.000 What about meth?
01:07:42.000 What about some psilocybin and some meth?
01:07:44.000 You'll be out on your own porch, you know?
01:07:47.000 You'll be your own street lamp.
01:07:48.000 You're frickin'... And is that a good feeling?
01:07:50.000 Well, it's a miserable feeling.
01:07:52.000 Is it miserable to be an owl?
01:07:54.000 Yeah.
01:07:55.000 I don't want to be an owl on my own show.
01:07:56.000 This is a good conversation.
01:07:57.000 I mean, for all of the...
01:08:00.000 High production of the DNC, Gavin Newsom in the crowd as if he's Carlson Bailey, and all of the spectacle and the illumined signs and the trotted out forefathers of yesteryear.
01:08:15.000 For me, I like my propaganda to sound like a lad from the South chatting to a billionaire about how cocaine turned him into an owl on his own porch.
01:08:26.000 You do it anyway, just like the guy you were saying with the scotch.
01:08:29.000 In a way, some important points can be made about sort of a post-modern cultural and analytic field.
01:08:36.000 Like, you'd watch something like the DNC, this is what power's supposed to be.
01:08:40.000 Can't you see the grandeur?
01:08:42.000 You'd overlook the hypocrisy of one minute being told billionaires are bad and that money should be taken out of politics, which of course it should.
01:08:48.000 Then a billionaire being trotted out on the stage to tell you that he's a better billionaire than Trump.
01:08:52.000 The whole thing's so ridiculous and of course I'm aware that sort of the appearances of Hulk Hogan at the RNC are so sort of Gooling, ghoulish, peculiar, extraordinary, and people say, oh god, the vulgarity, the terrible vulgarity.
01:09:05.000 But what does it all amount to, really?
01:09:08.000 Just hues of ridiculousness, various inflections of mad propaganda.
01:09:14.000 This may be the future, just listening to...
01:09:17.000 just intimate tĂŞte-Ă -tĂŞte where Theo von plainly explains that cocaine made him into a
01:09:24.000 nocturnal bird of prey. Let's have a look at the bit where I think they get into the economy and
01:09:31.000 what I like is in a way you know people are cynical about anecdotal evidence aren't they?
01:09:36.000 Well, that's just anecdotal evidence, people will say.
01:09:38.000 You know, I knew someone, they took the vaccine, they had a heart attack.
01:09:41.000 That's anecdotal evidence.
01:09:43.000 This is a good use of anecdotal evidence of the Trump administration generating financial success.
01:09:53.000 We had the greatest economy in history when I was president.
01:09:57.000 Oh yeah.
01:09:57.000 My cousin got a boat.
01:09:59.000 Yeah, we had the best job numbers.
01:10:00.000 African-American.
01:10:01.000 My cousin got a boat.
01:10:03.000 Things was fine.
01:10:04.000 Amazing.
01:10:05.000 I cannot wait to meet him.
01:10:06.000 I've got to tell you.
01:10:07.000 I'm actually mean.
01:10:08.000 Theo Von.
01:10:09.000 Elsewhere we saw the astonishing appearance of Peter Thiel on Joe Rogan.
01:10:16.000 Peter Thiel is a kind of somewhat more elusive and clandestine tech billionaire rumoured to be an investor in the very platform that we stream on So it's pretty astonishing to see him appear on Joe Rogan and exciting to hear him discuss Jeffrey Epstein.
01:10:36.000 Because Jeffrey Epstein, one senses still, is a kind of Gordian Knot of information about the powerful.
01:10:43.000 That if that is ever severed or untangled, what will spill out from it will be some pretty interesting names.
01:10:51.000 Let's have a look at Peter Thiel and Joe Rogan.
01:10:53.000 ...that are deeply embedded in this system of people knowing things about people and using those at their advantage.
01:10:58.000 I mean, that's an age-old strategy in politics.
01:11:01.000 That was J. Edgar Hoover's entire modus operandi.
01:11:04.000 My riff on it was always that it was a little bit different from the J. Edgar Hoover thing.
01:11:10.000 And the question was always whether the people doing it knew they were getting compromised.
01:11:15.000 And so it's the vibe.
01:11:17.000 It's not.
01:11:18.000 That, um, um, you somehow got compromised.
01:11:22.000 It was more you were joining this, uh, this secret club.
01:11:25.000 Right.
01:11:26.000 You got to be made.
01:11:26.000 Yes.
01:11:27.000 You're a made man in the mafia.
01:11:28.000 And you get to do crazy things.
01:11:29.000 No, no, no, no.
01:11:30.000 It's only if we have Kompromat on you, you get ahead.
01:11:33.000 Right.
01:11:33.000 It's like, you know, it's like, I don't know, it's one of these, uh, um, closet of the Vatican.
01:11:38.000 Right.
01:11:38.000 The claim is 80% of the cardinals in the Catholic Church are gay.
01:11:40.000 Not sure if that's true, but, uh, directionally, it's probably correct.
01:11:44.000 And the basic thesis is you don't get promoted to a cardinal.
01:11:47.000 If you're straight because um we need to have and so we need to you need to be compromised and then you're under control um but you also get ahead completely makes sense completely makes sense in the way to do that with especially all these politicians who are essentially like bad actors a lot of them they're just people that want power and people that want control a lot of them and you know those kind of guys they want to party you know i mean that has been you've got two types of leaders that are presidents you've got pussy hounds and warmongers Nice, nice, pussyhounds and warmongers.
01:12:15.000 And even more than the individuals involved in the Game of Power, it's the game itself which requires compromised individuals in order to continue to operate.
01:12:24.000 Those of us that took a keen pre-internet interest in conspiracy theories.
01:12:29.000 Oh, when I was a boy, I had to read my conspiracy theories in a paperback.
01:12:33.000 I used to go down to the library and read David Eichel, Alex Jones.
01:12:38.000 Beautiful it was.
01:12:39.000 Conspiracy theories used to have to be passed around.
01:12:41.000 I used to have leaflets.
01:12:42.000 About things like the Illuminati and reptilians.
01:12:45.000 So imagine my surprise when I was accused of being a member of these kind of organizations.
01:12:49.000 When I was a 16 year old kid dropping acid in Essex, we talked about how, you know, the Mossad and MK Ultras and the various ways that powerful people could be controlled, whether it's cardinals, according to Peter Thiel, or the powerful, according to Jeffrey Epstein's Little Black Book.
01:13:07.000 That's why it's interesting to see A member of the new elite, Peter Thiel, a successful tech billionaire and investor in numerous platforms, including the one that I stream on, expressed such an understanding of things that used to be regarded as either esoteric or absolutely ridiculous.
01:13:23.000 But now, these days, with the emergence of the Jeffrey Epstein case and the aspects of it which seem pretty indefatigable, I mean, Have we seen the list yet, baby?
01:13:33.000 Isn't it extraordinary how many people have been on those islands, that have been around that stuff?
01:13:37.000 The story continues to garner interest, and the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, how he died, it's just so odd that someone just dies in a prison cell.
01:13:48.000 Excuse me, such a convenient suicide.
01:13:50.000 So many convenient suicides these days.
01:13:52.000 We all understand, don't we, intuitively how power functions, and it's becoming more and more commonly understood.
01:14:03.000 Another example of the kind of information that's conversationally available because of the phenomenon, I'd still call it that, of Joe Rogan.
01:14:09.000 But that's just what I think.
01:14:10.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
01:14:13.000 We're gonna have a quick word from one of our sponsors and then we'll be back to talk about the important story of a potential alliance that could disrupt the machine of synthesis that is the Democratic Party.
01:14:24.000 Here's a message.
01:14:25.000 Everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results are so dramatic and who doesn't love drama?
01:14:31.000 What if you need to lose weight but you don't like injections?
01:14:34.000 Doctors created a weight loss supplement called Lean and the results are remarkable.
01:14:39.000 The studied ingredients in lean are shown to lower blood sugar, that's good, burn fat
01:14:43.000 by converting it into energy and curb your appetite and cravings so you're not as hungry.
01:14:50.000 Lean is not for the casual dieter with only a few pounds to lose.
01:14:53.000 Doctors at Brick House Nutrition created lean for frustrated dieters with 10 pounds or more
01:14:58.000 to lose.
01:14:59.000 That could be me, I could lose 10 pounds.
01:15:01.000 Get started with 15% off and free rush shipping.
01:15:05.000 Add lean to your healthy diet and exercise plan.
01:15:08.000 Do you know what that phrase does?
01:15:09.000 I mean, don't be like an idiot and just think you can guzzle lean and it's all going to be okay.
01:15:14.000 Add it to a healthy exercise plan in order to lose that hard, stubborn to shift 10 pounds.
01:15:20.000 Even though I believe that you are absolutely beautiful as you are, just lose that 10 pounds because you wanted to.
01:15:26.000 This is Russell Brand reporting to you live from the middle of a DDoS attack.
01:15:39.000 We are under cyber attack right now.
01:15:41.000 This is a period where information is a valuable commodity and even the apparent frivolity of our conversational interactions is subject to scrutiny, censorship and now we know for sure cyber attack Why is that?
01:15:57.000 Because power is coalescing around some extraordinary forces and the control of information remains important, perhaps second only to the control of currencies.
01:16:06.000 And we're seeing more and more how the miracles, or at least advances, of crypto are being curtailed, corralled and controlled now by centralising forces.
01:16:15.000 And the same is necessary when it comes to the dissemination of information.
01:16:20.000 You can't have people communicating without having to pass through institutions.
01:16:24.000 You can't have people spending money that can't be tracked, shut down, punished or controlled if you say a word out of line, if you step out of line, if you express freedom for a matter of moments.
01:16:33.000 That's why today's Main story is the interesting possibility that there could be an alliance formed between Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump.
01:16:41.000 Certainly he's running mate Nicole Shanahan is talking about it publicly and has done so in a number of forums.
01:16:47.000 Now the more ardent among you will say that Trump is an asset and is owned by centralized globalist power and others yet still will say that Kennedy is an asset but what I would say in defense of that is Trump who whatever you say about Donald Trump The establishment does not want that guy in power.
01:17:05.000 Whatever you say about Bobby Kennedy, he has been pretty open and vocal when it comes to his condemnation, say, of Big Pharma.
01:17:13.000 You lot let me know in the comments and chat what you think about the failings and fallibility of those two political individuals, but I will tell you this, the tyranny that you must fear most of all is the kind of technological feudalism that is being augured right now, and glance if you Will, if you dare, at the spectacle of the DNC, where greatest hits are being played, where hypocrisy is being relayed, where billionaires are being condemned, then trotted out and celebrated, all in a matter of moments.
01:17:45.000 Do you think the only way to derail this train is with a Bobby Kennedy-Trump alliance?
01:17:51.000 Well, all of a sudden, it's part of the conversation.
01:17:55.000 Many of us thought that Trump would name Bobby Kennedy as his VP, but we all know in that million year ago moment of the attempted assassination things got a little hyperbolic and hubristic around the RNC and I think that many of them thought it's a done deal you can appoint any VP you want but it seems in the Kamala moment with the mainstream media fully on side once again
01:18:21.000 We have a potential battle on our hands.
01:18:23.000 So, is it possible that Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump could join forces?
01:18:28.000 And is that exactly what we need?
01:18:30.000 Particularly when currency is under attack, when free speech is under attack, even our humble streaming show is literally under cyber attack.
01:18:38.000 If you watch the streams live, you'll see those attacks happening live.
01:18:41.000 So let's have a look I did not put in tens of millions of dollars to be a spoiler candidate.
01:18:47.000 I put in tens of millions of dollars to win.
01:18:50.000 To fix this country.
01:18:51.000 I did not put in tens of millions of dollars to be a spoiler candidate.
01:18:55.000 I put in tens of million dollars to win, to fix this country, to do the right thing.
01:19:02.000 I will say that Clear Choice, this pack, this DNC-aligned pack that was created specifically
01:19:10.000 to take us out has spent millions of dollars to take us out.
01:19:14.000 They have unfortunately turned us into a spoiler.
01:19:16.000 And we don't want to be a spoiler.
01:19:22.000 We wanted to win.
01:19:23.000 We wanted a fair shot.
01:19:26.000 The DNC made that impossible for us.
01:19:29.000 They have banned us, shadow banned us, kept us off stages, manipulated polls, used lawfare against us, sued us in every possible state.
01:19:40.000 They've even planted insiders into our campaign to disrupt it and to create actual legal issues for us.
01:19:48.000 I mean, the extent by which the sabotage They've unleashed upon us.
01:19:56.000 It's mind-blowing.
01:19:57.000 I mean, we're still learning new ways that they have sabotaged us.
01:20:02.000 I really wanted a fair shot at this election, and I believed in the America that I, a little girl, pledged allegiance to.
01:20:13.000 And that is not where we are today.
01:20:16.000 And it's not because of the Republican Party taking us out.
01:20:22.000 It is exclusively because of the Democratic Party taking us out.
01:20:25.000 And I am so disappointed I ever helped them.
01:20:28.000 I am so disappointed that I helped Chuck Schumer in that Georgia runoff secure a majority.
01:20:35.000 It's probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
01:20:42.000 It's really devastating.
01:20:44.000 So to answer your question, we are not spoilers.
01:20:49.000 That was never our motivation.
01:20:51.000 We really wanted a fair shot.
01:20:52.000 I think had we had a fair shot, we would have won.
01:21:00.000 I still would love to see in the last 80 days of this election some miracle play out where we get a chance to debate.
01:21:07.000 I don't think they're going to let us.
01:21:09.000 You know, given this, I think we are taking a very serious look at making sure... Isn't it odd to consider that the Democratic Party, that still consider themselves to be the goodies, if you have any experience of dealing with them, are palpably and demonstrably the baddies?
01:21:26.000 It's hard to believe when you look at the spectacle of the DNC, and the joyfulness, and the great presentation, and the sort of MTV moments of Gavin Newsom amongst the crowd, that this is actually what the machine looks like now.
01:21:41.000 This is what tyranny looks like now.
01:21:43.000 As Nicole says there, it ain't the Republican Party that get involved.
01:21:47.000 And I know from my own spats and attacks from media, dating right back to the first time I ever said some, God, maybe it's 10, 15 years ago now, There's no point voting.
01:21:56.000 Both of the parties are controlled by the same corporate interests.
01:21:59.000 Ordinary people are starting to realise that.
01:22:02.000 It was always the media of the left that were more condemnatory, more controlling, more vituperative and damning.
01:22:11.000 They surely are the Force for darkness that we have to be most alert to, and precisely because it becomes in such odd packages.
01:22:20.000 That's why I think it's important, let me know what you guys think, that we form new alliances, that we're willing to look at people that you might have thought of once as being right-wing if you're a left-wing person, or left-wing if you're a right-wing person, or religious if you're not religious, and in fact be willing to look beyond all of these categories, because what we are on the point of now is a new type of totalitarianism where Currency is controlled.
01:22:42.000 Information is controlled.
01:22:44.000 The movement of individuals is controlled.
01:22:47.000 Technology, what a glorious miracle, is among us.
01:22:51.000 And it is not for no reason that we are yet to see the application of the technology that grants you the likes of Uber or Airbnb I mean to say aggregating and intercommunicative apps that could be applied to creating truly decentralised, localised democracies.
01:23:08.000 So it wouldn't matter if you didn't agree with me because you would run your community according to the electoral processes in your borough or district.
01:23:15.000 And it wouldn't matter if those people were, wow, let's go as far as we can.
01:23:18.000 Absolutely progressive, gender fluid, fully, fully Sharia law Muslim.
01:23:23.000 It wouldn't matter because what we could run is our own communities according to electoral principles.
01:23:29.000 The budgets could be allocated locally.
01:23:32.000 Food could be grown as locally.
01:23:34.000 It wouldn't solve every single problem or be 100% applicable, but it will be more applicable than it currently is.
01:23:41.000 And it could be better applied than it currently is, and it's certainly preferable to Armageddon.
01:23:47.000 And when Nicole talks about the power of the establishment, of course she names, and to a degree shames, the Democrat Party institutions and powers around it.
01:23:56.000 But this includes, of course, as you know, the media itself.
01:24:00.000 Here's Colbert.
01:24:01.000 Going out to bat and attack RFK for being removed from the ballot.
01:24:07.000 So really, who benefits from independent candidates?
01:24:11.000 We do.
01:24:11.000 Who benefits from diverse and even sometimes contrary opinion?
01:24:16.000 Who benefits from opposition in public spaces, healthy discourse, the attacks on these institutions?
01:24:22.000 We do.
01:24:23.000 Who wants to control the information?
01:24:25.000 Well, Control comes from surprising places and sometimes in surprising forms.
01:24:30.000 Have a look at Stephen Colbert here shutting down and attacking Bobby Kennedy.
01:24:35.000 Junior here got some bad news yesterday when our New York Supreme Court judge ruled that he is disqualified from the New York ballot over falsifying his residence.
01:24:46.000 Prosecutors, you're right, prosecutors... It's so mad to hear the audience cheer like that.
01:24:50.000 What do you imagine that Bobby Kennedy has ever done to that busting audience there in New York City?
01:24:56.000 What has he ever done other than tell them that they should be skeptical about medications, that they should investigate the efficacy of strongly recommended and perhaps not efficiently clinically trialled medicines.
01:25:08.000 What has he ever done?
01:25:09.000 Except fight as an environmental lawyer.
01:25:11.000 Now, there are areas where, like any politician, I would have disagreements with Bobby Kennedy, and I bet you would too, but it's not the individual I'm talking about here.
01:25:19.000 It's the principle of diverse and independent politics leading to greater democracy, more localisation, more decentralisation, not accruing power wherever possible and shutting out conversation wherever there's an opportunity.
01:25:33.000 Don't be strange, don't be unusual, don't strain a raven.
01:25:35.000 In fact, let's have a look at Kennedy's rebuttal on 29 there.
01:25:38.000 with the California address and a social media video in which Kennedy talks about
01:25:42.000 training ravens at his Los Angeles home.
01:25:45.000 Don't be strange, don't be unusual, don't strain a raven.
01:25:49.000 In fact let's have a look at Kennedy's rebuttal on 29 there.
01:25:51.000 Let's have a, over the page, let's have a look at Bobby Kennedy
01:25:55.000 listing the various affiliations that he does have with New York City.
01:25:59.000 So even with this rather minor issue that's taken as an opportunity to attack Bobby Kennedy, he does have something to say in his own defense.
01:26:06.000 My driver's license is in New York.
01:26:08.000 My car is registered in New York.
01:26:11.000 My law license is in New York.
01:26:13.000 I pay income taxes in New York more than any other state.
01:26:18.000 My law office is New York, my only law office.
01:26:22.000 And I also have a lot of other licenses in New York, my hunting licenses here, my fishing license, my falconry license, etc.
01:26:33.000 I vote here, it's the only place that I vote.
01:26:39.000 Why Bobby Kennedy's candidacy fascinated me was because with Trump we've seen, since he became a political figure, him being sort of culturally moved from a sort of tolerated, celebrated, enjoyed, oh entrepreneur,
01:26:54.000 billionaire, much like Jeff Pritzker there, I'm a billionaire and it's okay to like me. People like
01:27:00.000 Donald Trump, he was on The Apprentice, then when he announced his candidacy you could argue well
01:27:04.000 it's because he said all of these vulgar discriminatory things.
01:27:08.000 But when it comes down to policy, so many of the policies were there before him.
01:27:11.000 Some of the policies are continuing after him.
01:27:13.000 So I don't think he's that.
01:27:15.000 I think that Donald Trump is a berserker, a bull in the china shop that they can't quite control.
01:27:19.000 I pray that those of you that are MAGA and love Trump are right that he is the voice that ordinary Americans require.
01:27:26.000 And that we will see a Donald Trump that's willing to bring people together.
01:27:29.000 I reckon that's a hell of a lot more likely if he were to have an alliance with Bobby Kennedy.
01:27:34.000 I think that that would be a lot better for American democracy and I think in all likelihood what you would start to see is the Democratic Party establishment quaking because at the moment they've managed to bleach away the memory of a very peculiar assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
01:27:48.000 You even see now people that would never talk about this being a conspiracy if it had happened to a candidate on the left.
01:27:54.000 It was a staged event.
01:27:56.000 Look at that photograph!
01:27:57.000 It's almost too perfect!
01:27:59.000 What the Democratic Party National Convention shows you is that there's nothing there there.
01:28:03.000 There are no principles, there are no values, there is no manifesto, there is no policy.
01:28:07.000 Why?
01:28:07.000 Because that party's been captured by globalist corporate power.
01:28:12.000 And the best thing that I can offer you is vote for us!
01:28:14.000 We're not Donald Trump!
01:28:15.000 Donald Trump's such a hound, a heel, a bastard and a monster!
01:28:19.000 He's a demon!
01:28:20.000 But I'm beginning to think that the Luciferian demonic light has taken on a different complexion altogether.
01:28:27.000 That it's to be found there in the apparent inclusivity and radius of the democratic Practical, that's Freudian party convention where everything is jolly and everything is shiny and Joe Biden's getting a pat on the back and a gold watch when he had his throat cut like Brutus just a couple of months before by colleagues that claim to support him.
01:28:45.000 What I'm telling you is that A Kennedy-Trump alliance could be an interesting evolution that it could disrupt in ways that are difficult to predict and will certainly be entertaining to watch even if it doesn't fully deliver on the kind of decentralization and empowerment of the individual that I believe is necessary to save the world and indeed to save our souls.
01:29:08.000 That's just what I think.
01:29:09.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
01:29:12.000 Although it might be hard because we are under D-D-O-S attack.
01:29:15.000 Cyber attack from every direction.
01:29:17.000 Man, it's great to be wanted.
01:29:18.000 There's only one thing worse than being talked about and that's not being talked about as Oscar Wilde said.
01:29:23.000 What happened to that guy?
01:29:25.000 Hey, listen, it's time for us to wrap up the show now.
01:29:29.000 Thank you very much for joining us.
01:29:30.000 We will be back tomorrow.
01:29:32.000 What have we got tomorrow, guys?
01:29:34.000 Have we got a guest on the show or anything like that?
01:29:37.000 No guess.
01:29:39.000 We will be back with you tomorrow, not for more of the same.
01:29:42.000 And in fact, you might want to consider becoming an Awake and Wonder because we're doing a lot of great work there.
01:29:46.000 Stand-up comedy, live specials, my chat with Jay Bhattacharya.
01:29:49.000 It's pretty good stuff and we've got some fantastic specials coming up soon.
01:29:53.000 See?
01:29:54.000 Ah, and remember, we'll be live streaming for the Kamala speech with Neil Oliver, the Coast Guy, on X, a much maligned man north of the border who's recently had some content pulled down, specifically his interview with Whitney Webb.
01:30:09.000 So we'll be talking about that, and we'll be watching along with Kamala Harris's I guess what is it?
01:30:15.000 Sort of like anointing speech?
01:30:17.000 A keynote speech?
01:30:18.000 Well, I mean, to me it just seems like very well-produced propaganda.
01:30:21.000 Let's watch it together.
01:30:22.000 See you tomorrow, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
