Transcript

00:00:00.000 So, we're going to go ahead and put that on.
00:00:27.000 Okay.
00:04:30.000 He wanted to...
00:04:31.000 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand and what a day it is for you seekers of truth amidst the deluge of lies.
00:04:41.000 Whether you are looking at the periphery of these spaces that people have long said that there are interdimensional Beings dabbling in our power structures, or if you stay within the realms of that which is cosigned, consigned, accessible and sayable, people are beginning to believe that a black swan event is likely.
00:05:04.000 Quoting of course, let me know if you know in the chat, AwakendWonders over on Locals.
00:05:08.000 Let me know if you know in the chat.
00:05:10.000 On Rumble, do you know who I'm referring to?
00:05:12.000 I'm of course referring to Ron Paul.
00:05:14.000 On Tucker Carlson, the man some say is the best president that the United States never had, saying that something is happening and I know you feel it too.
00:05:22.000 I know you feel that there is something in the air, in the words of Phil Collins.
00:05:27.000 So we're going to look at a few stories.
00:05:29.000 We're going to look at the Hunter Biden stuff, that hearing, the impeachment hearing stuff.
00:05:34.000 We're going to look at the potential that there may be a plea deal available for Julian Assange, although that's something his lawyers are not aware of.
00:05:43.000 We're going to have a good look at the Supreme Court's handling of the Biden administration's pressure on social media sites.
00:05:52.000 Now, on YouTube, we'll be there for about the first 15 minutes Or so, and then we will be wading into that sweet stream of freedom, where we will communicate openly and honestly about what we believe.
00:06:06.000 So if you watch us on YouTube, we'll be there for about 15 minutes, then we're going to, um, we're going to migrate, as one day we will all have to, to spaces where free speech is possible.
00:06:15.000 I tell ya!
00:06:17.000 We've got a lot to talk about, like when it comes to Freedom of Information Act requests and how that's necessary for journalism these days, but even as a private citizen, an individual like me, albeit one that is, I pray that you see me this way, involved in the independent media and truth movement, a new movement that hopes to oppose this new tendency towards a phrase I heard recently, and let me know if you know where this phrase come from, techno-feudalism.
00:06:42.000 That what's being created is a top-down system of global government where the rest of us are regarded as digital surface.
00:06:50.000 Where our biometric data is corralled and controlled.
00:06:53.000 Is that what we're moving towards?
00:06:55.000 And what will it be that brings about this Black Swan event?
00:06:57.000 Will it be war?
00:06:59.000 Some in the legacy media say that Putin is waging war.
00:07:04.000 Longing for war.
00:07:05.000 He's openly planning for war against NATO, says the Telegraph.
00:07:08.000 That's a British legacy media publication.
00:07:11.000 Meanwhile on HuffPost, Putin is afraid of war.
00:07:13.000 Meanwhile, Macron, I'll do him!
00:07:16.000 I will do Putin!
00:07:17.000 Why is Macron Why is Macron so obsessed with demonstrating his masculinity?
00:07:23.000 Could it be anything to do with what Candace Owens is publicly saying?
00:07:28.000 Or is it just more schoolyard posturing?
00:07:31.000 Like, you know, I'll fight you Putin, because we've all seen those images of Putin on horseback looking deadly masculine.
00:07:39.000 The legacy media have caught up to the idea that vitamin D is not a taboo phrase.
00:07:46.000 Take it!
00:07:47.000 It's good for you and every increasing volume of medical research is suggesting specific ways in which vitamin D can help protect against serious conditions.
00:07:55.000 Oh, well, that's something.
00:07:56.000 Let me know if you knew that already.
00:07:58.000 Did you know that already?
00:07:59.000 I knew about that.
00:08:01.000 You knew that?
00:08:01.000 Where did you find out about it?
00:08:03.000 Did you find out about it from independent media?
00:08:05.000 Can somebody block those spamming wankers?
00:08:08.000 Indeed someone can.
00:08:09.000 Let's get on that right now.
00:08:11.000 We asked you earlier what you wanted to see and I'll let you know in a minute.
00:08:17.000 We've just got one more thing to tell you about the Democrats.
00:08:20.000 Six in ten Democrats believe the COVID-19 pandemic isn't over.
00:08:24.000 So will the Black Swan event be?
00:08:27.000 An escalation of war?
00:08:28.000 Will it be another pandemic?
00:08:30.000 How are they going to legitimize increasing global power?
00:08:35.000 Because you know it's going to happen, don't you?
00:08:37.000 You know it's coming.
00:08:38.000 It's extraordinary.
00:08:39.000 We asked you what story you wanted us to lead on and of course you said Ron Paul's one in a tucker of an upcoming black swan uh or we asked black sawn event but you deduced using your collective and individual intellect.
00:08:54.000 I mean some people might have seen that and gone A black swan event?
00:08:57.000 Well, I'd be interested anyway.
00:09:00.000 But nevertheless, we're going to cover that in a minute and in some detail too.
00:09:05.000 Also, we're going to have another look at that, you know that New York Times story, they're saying like why the deep state are fantastic?
00:09:11.000 This is brilliant because we're beginning to understand now that the New York Times are in a sense a portion of the establishment.
00:09:18.000 I don't just mean as a legacy media amplifier, No, I mean in so much as they participated in the investigations that led to the arrest to buddy-boy Tashera, or Jack Tashera, as his actual name is, the whistleblower.
00:09:30.000 And two, they collaborated with the CIA in bringing us the story about CIA bases being in Ukraine for the last 10 years, which is, it seems, another provocation of Putin.
00:09:40.000 There were all sorts of operations going on that were absolutely fascinating and fantastic, so we've got some good stories.
00:09:46.000 But first, Let's have a look at, you know, well, it's a story that won't astonish you.
00:09:53.000 It's the world's most powerful man wandering about.
00:09:56.000 Biden wanders off stage after spotting a baby in the crowd.
00:10:00.000 He says he couldn't resist.
00:10:01.000 You in the rumble chat can do your own jokes there.
00:10:07.000 Maybe what might fuel those jokes is this.
00:10:10.000 Remember this classic of yesteryear?
00:10:12.000 What I'd say is he's not reading Gordon Locksport's comment in the rumble chat.
00:10:28.000 Oh man, you know where it's going.
00:10:29.000 You know where it's going in the rumble chat.
00:10:31.000 Even the Awakened Wonders are not impressed.
00:10:35.000 Not impressed with that comment.
00:10:36.000 He ought to be able to read body language, I'd say, a little better.
00:10:39.000 That baby's body language My mind is telling me yes, but my body is telling me no!
00:10:45.000 It didn't look good, did it, from a body language perspective.
00:10:48.000 Let's have a look at his latest wanderings before getting into the Assange story, this Black Swan event, New York Times and legacy media in general, but specifically the New York Times, being a paid up member of the establishment, doing their bidding, crushing dissent, Normalizing their agenda on a daily basis but here's Biden's latest wonder.
00:11:09.000 Look at the medical professional sort of like clocking it.
00:11:12.000 We have made so much progress together but we know that there is still work to be done which is why we are going to... Excuse me!
00:11:21.000 Back over here please!
00:11:23.000 And you know that we've been, you've been hearing a lot about TikTok and what a threat TikTok is.
00:11:30.000 Well that TikTok is, that TikTok threat is entirely Hypothetical!
00:11:35.000 US intelligence has produced no evidence that the popular social media site has ever coordinated with Beijing.
00:11:40.000 We have nothing to add the FBI said when asked for evidence of TikTok's actual threat.
00:11:45.000 And based on what Elon Musk said yesterday, if there was FBI evidence it would have been deleted because they keep deleting all of their files that relate to significant issues.
00:11:54.000 And remember that when we talk about A country like Russia being sort of anti-democratic and criminal.
00:12:01.000 Criminal because of their illegal invasions that are eerily similar to state-sponsored invasions conducted by the partners of the United States of America under the flag of your nation but under the agenda of the deep state that the New York Times would tell you are super friendly.
00:12:16.000 One of the things they always point to is the lack of free press.
00:12:19.000 Well remember Julian Assange is still not Free!
00:12:23.000 Lara Brand, check out anything that you see posted twice.
00:12:27.000 Consider that spam and sort it out for me.
00:12:30.000 Thank you very much.
00:12:30.000 Nice one.
00:12:31.000 So let's have a look at this story about Assange getting a plea deal.
00:12:36.000 The US is reportedly considering a plea deal.
00:12:38.000 Now, as I understand, Assange's lawyers haven't heard from anybody relevant regarding this story.
00:12:46.000 Let's get into it a little bit.
00:12:46.000 This is, of course, reporting in the Guardian legacy media outlet that somewhat abandoned Julian Assange in spite of benefiting significantly from much of his reporting.
00:12:56.000 The U.S.
00:12:56.000 government is reported to be considering a plea deal to offer Julian Assange, allowing him to admit to a misdemeanor, but his lawyers say they've yet been given no indication.
00:13:05.000 Washington intends to change its approach.
00:13:07.000 The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that the U.S.
00:13:10.000 Justice Department was looking at ways to cut short the long-caught battle of the WikiLeaks founder against extradition to the U.S.
00:13:18.000 on espionage charges for the publication 14 years ago.
00:13:20.000 Thousands have classified U.S.
00:13:21.000 documents related to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
00:13:26.000 Documents of course exposed a good deal of wrongdoing and remember the Pentagon cannot prove that it endangered a single US service personnel.
00:13:34.000 We reported extensively on the hearing to be granted an appeal which we've not heard a result of and I don't know whether that's a positive thing or not.
00:13:44.000 Presumably it means it's at least being considered.
00:13:48.000 The report said a plan under consideration would be to drop the current 18 charges under the Espionage Act if Assange pleaded guilty to mishandling classified documents and misdemeanor offence.
00:13:58.000 Assange would be able to enter the plea remotely from London, would likely to be free soon after the deal was agreed.
00:14:03.000 He's already done five years in the UK.
00:14:05.000 However, Assange's legal team said they're not aware of a change in the prosecution strategy.
00:14:09.000 Assange's extradition would be politically difficult for the Biden administration, particularly in an election year.
00:14:14.000 The previous Democratic administration under Barack Obama ultimately decided not to charge Assange because of fears that doing so would infringe First Amendment rights, guaranteeing freedom of the press.
00:14:26.000 That hamstringing First Amenders!
00:14:29.000 That hamstringing First Amendment!
00:14:31.000 Remember, we have to do the video, the 30 seconds.
00:14:32.000 Why don't we regulate the time that that happens?
00:14:34.000 Let's always do it in the first 10 minutes.
00:14:36.000 Okay, let's have a look at the legacy media in Australia reporting on that.
00:14:40.000 Lawyers for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange say they've been given no indication US authorities are... Basically, I just like watching this guy because I think he talks in an unusual way.
00:14:49.000 I like it that that news program's logo is a sort of spring, not a letter or a word.
00:14:54.000 I wouldn't know what to call that show.
00:14:56.000 And I sort of like the way that this guy talks.
00:14:58.000 ...considering a possible plea deal following a report in the Wall Street Journal.
00:15:03.000 It says Julian Assange could plead guilty to a reduced charge of mishandling classified information...
00:15:11.000 To Hunter Biden's congressional hearing relating to Joe Biden's impeachment.
00:15:17.000 Well I suppose in this way, haven't we come to accept as normal total corruption?
00:15:24.000 While we may be beginning to suspect that a Biden impeachment on the basis of granting favours to family members that are beyond the remit of his political position and yet Use that position as an advantage is a type of corruption.
00:15:38.000 Isn't it the type of corruption that we're becoming inured to, inoculated from, as if there were a successful vaccine that did what it said on the tin and was not a kind of renegade aluminium cocktail doing God alone knows what.
00:15:54.000 Isn't it extraordinary that we've come to accept that Nancy Pelosi's ability to profit, seeming ability to profit, from information that she surely must have access to while sitting on regulatory bodies within Congress that oversee what happens on big tech platforms and Paul Pelosi's eventual investments are That's a kind of corruption isn't it?
00:16:19.000 I mean ideally wouldn't we take money out of politics altogether?
00:16:24.000 I mean ideally wouldn't the business of politics in your country and mine and all nations be built upon the principle of freedom from hypocrisy and corruption with service as the highest principle?
00:16:37.000 So the very fact But the Hunter Biden story, sort of, it seems fascinating but also there's a degree of fear to it because it's just another example of corruption in a corrupt system.
00:16:51.000 I'm not down for a second that Joe Biden's position benefited Hunter Biden's business dealings.
00:16:56.000 I can't imagine what the hell What he was doing at Burisma, essentially.
00:17:02.000 What was going on at Burisma that legitimized his position?
00:17:06.000 Let's just take that one example.
00:17:09.000 But what Glenn Greenwald's focusing on in particular was the career of AOC.
00:17:16.000 Who, at the offset, was an individual that I suppose many people would have thought, wow, this is a person that's a waiter, an ordinary person, a person that's risen up to be a member of the political class that will represent ordinary people.
00:17:35.000 How she's become a demonstrable acolyte and clear voice for the Pi establishment is astonishing and extraordinary to see.
00:17:44.000 Look at their passion, look at their vim, look at their vigour.
00:17:47.000 I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal... Did you witness the president commit a crime?
00:17:54.000 Is it your testimony today?
00:17:56.000 Yes.
00:17:57.000 And what crime do you have you witness?
00:18:00.000 How much time do I have to go through it?
00:18:01.000 It is simple.
00:18:02.000 You name the crime.
00:18:04.000 Did you watch him steal something?
00:18:06.000 Corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy.
00:18:09.000 What is it?
00:18:10.000 What is the crime, sir?
00:18:15.000 You asked me to answer the question.
00:18:17.000 I answered the question.
00:18:18.000 RICO, you're obviously not familiar with.
00:18:20.000 Excuse me, sir.
00:18:25.000 RICO is not a crime.
00:18:27.000 It is a category.
00:18:28.000 It's a category of crimes that you're then charged with.
00:18:32.000 You have charges.
00:18:33.000 You have charges.
00:18:36.000 Sir, please name.
00:18:38.000 Zach's Statue in Puerto Rico?
00:18:39.000 Yes.
00:18:40.000 Well, it's funny, in this committee room, everyone's not here.
00:18:42.000 There's over 80 lawyers that went to law school.
00:18:44.000 Alright, sir, I reclaim my time.
00:18:45.000 I reclaim my time.
00:18:46.000 I'll leave it.
00:18:47.000 Mr. Babalinsky, Mr. Babalinsky, she's reclaiming her time.
00:18:50.000 That time is coming back.
00:18:51.000 You cannot reclaim time.
00:18:53.000 That is not how time works.
00:18:54.000 Doesn't this strike you as a theatrical performance rather than a political a political process. Isn't there a little too much theory
00:19:02.000 in all of this? In fact, look at this moment of almost literal commedia dell'arte when a masked
00:19:09.000 Democrat, I think it was Jared Moskowitz, appeared at the hearing making an astonishing
00:19:15.000 point.
00:19:15.000 South Florida representative Jared Moskowitz wore a Vladimir Putin rubber mask on Capitol Hill
00:19:22.000 Wednesday, accusing Republicans of pushing Russian disinformation.
00:19:25.000 I just came to thank James Comer for taking all of our intelligence and using it in the committee.
00:19:31.000 Maybe he can come see the technology in our grocery stores.
00:19:34.000 The congressman has- That's a reference, that's a little Tucker joke there, wasn't it?
00:19:38.000 At the end.
00:19:39.000 Has been critical of GOP efforts to remove President Joe Biden from office.
00:19:39.000 Extraordinary.
00:19:43.000 This whole thing is pretty theatrical.
00:19:44.000 Here is Tony Bobulinski.
00:19:45.000 He wore the mask walking into the house over site impeachment hearing which centers on allegations Biden
00:19:50.000 benefited from his son hunters business deal Mmm whole thing's pretty theatrical here is Tony Bob Alinsky
00:19:56.000 Tony Bob Bob Alinsky gave his transcribed interview on February 28th and lied throughout his testimony
00:20:02.000 Here's just one egregious example of hunters perjury He lied to the committee
00:20:08.000 On important details concerning his money demands and threats to CFC in text messages on July 30th and 31st
00:20:16.000 2017 He leveraged his father's presence next to him in that infamous text to strong-arm CFC to paying Hunter immediately.
00:20:26.000 Jim Biden also lied extensively throughout his transcribed interview on February 21st and perjured himself.
00:20:32.000 Now, I watch an event like this and it's fascinating and it's clear to me, at least, that whatever the result of these investigations, there are some dubious relationships going on.
00:20:40.000 But does this seem to you, too, to be a kind of theatrical distraction from something much deeper, something much more potent and powerful?
00:20:51.000 When Ron Paul says there will be a Black Swan event, doesn't there seem to be an almost Jungian resonance to that, something deeply understood, something you've been aware of for a long, long time, something we're being ushered towards, whether it's in your country, whether it's in my country, whether it's in those Nordic lands of Scandinavia where happiness is at an all-time high, Whether it's in the country of the United States of America, where little rascals gangs conduct real robberies in some nostalgic echo of that which was once pastiche, becoming real, becoming peculiar, that which was once light, becoming dark.
00:21:32.000 What does Ron Paul mean when he says a black swan event?
00:21:35.000 Does that make sense to you?
00:21:36.000 What do you think it's going to be?
00:21:39.000 Because this is no longer the realm of conjecture and metaphysical conspiracy theory.
00:21:47.000 We're aware that we're continually provoking a nuclear superpower into increasing conflict.
00:21:52.000 We're aware that in the volatile region of the Middle East there are atrocities and abominations taking place all around.
00:22:00.000 We know too of the looming threat of an antagonised China.
00:22:06.000 Is it going to be a geopolitical military provocation that leads us towards this Black Swan event?
00:22:12.000 Now that we've had our first taste of a pandemic, an event which was extraordinary, has exposed a good deal of systemic corruption, an event that appears to have in some ways been, if not planned, then certainly rehearsed, a medication that's been more controversial than Any medicine that I can remember, other than those that have rightly been subject to considerable and rigorous inquiry.
00:22:40.000 Thalidomide, fentanyl, etc.
00:22:44.000 What is this black swan event?
00:22:47.000 What is it that lurks and looms?
00:22:49.000 What is it that slouches towards Bethlehem to be born now?
00:22:54.000 Let's have a look at Ron Paul and then for the rest of the show we're going to look at the New York Times and their celebration of the deep state and the legacy media's relationship with the deep state.
00:23:06.000 And the numerous, anonymous, anodyne-sounding agencies that crush dissent on behalf of the deep state.
00:23:14.000 And the necessity that we not only remain informed and educated, but that we awaken on some profound level.
00:23:22.000 That we are able to transcend the traps that are even now being laid.
00:23:27.000 Let's have a look at this Black Swan event first of all, and we'll get into it.
00:23:30.000 I think we're reaching this point where some sudden thing is going to happen.
00:23:35.000 I believe in that theory of the black swan.
00:23:37.000 Yes.
00:23:38.000 It's going to pop up and it's not going to be controllable.
00:23:42.000 But people, you ask, what can they do?
00:23:45.000 I think the most important thing is understand what's going on.
00:23:49.000 It's education.
00:23:50.000 That's why I happen to have a homeschooling program, and I try to teach this stuff early, because you can't change it.
00:23:58.000 You can't go in and say, okay, you want $50 an hour?
00:24:02.000 We can't do that, but we'll have a compromise with the other people.
00:24:05.000 We'll just give you $32 per hour, you know, guaranteed.
00:24:09.000 That kind of nonsense.
00:24:11.000 You have to be able to tell them what they have to do.
00:24:16.000 One is to protect the money, one is to protect your wealth.
00:24:19.000 But when I go through this, when people really want to know some details
00:24:24.000 and I get a little more in detail, I said, but really, really the most important thing you do
00:24:30.000 is study and understand what's going on.
00:24:35.000 Because if you come away from that and you're able to accumulate a lot and get by and you have your guns and you have stored food and all that, it's not going to work.
00:24:46.000 You have to understand what's happening.
00:24:48.000 You have to know it's... Oh, I know.
00:24:50.000 This is a Blackron event.
00:24:52.000 A lot of you are saying that destabilizing the population through what you refer to as the migrant crisis.
00:24:59.000 A lot of you are referring to potential escalating wars and pandemics.
00:25:04.000 In a minute we'll be looking at the New York Times' celebration of the deep state where they attempt to normalise, and to be fair of course there are many people that work at new deep state type agencies, they're of course human beings, I'm not suggesting that it's a men in black scenario where they're pulled down from the stars and from the sky somewhere, but if you're normalising somebody who works at the FDA you better mention some of the Concerns of the last few years.
00:25:29.000 You better mention the revolving door between the FDA and Moderna.
00:25:32.000 You better mention many people's cynicism and outright scepticism and rage around events in the pandemic and the failure to report on subjects as diverse as adverse events and excess deaths.
00:25:42.000 If you're watching us on YouTube we're going to be there for another couple of minutes and I'm going to need you to click the link in the description and join us in the stream of freedom where we can speak a little more clearly and a little more deeply about the matters that may come to define our lives In the coming years.
00:25:58.000 Let Ron, dear Ron though, have his final words.
00:26:01.000 It's coming.
00:26:02.000 It's very, very dangerous.
00:26:04.000 And that's why I love to see smaller units of government.
00:26:08.000 Anything that hints that says they're springing up an idea in our states to act like they ought to act.
00:26:15.000 Yes.
00:26:15.000 And they're starting to, you know, they're starting to get more independent.
00:26:20.000 Smaller units of government.
00:26:22.000 Decreased centralised power.
00:26:25.000 Less authoritarianism.
00:26:27.000 What trends are you observing?
00:26:29.000 Are you observing centralisation?
00:26:31.000 Authoritarianism?
00:26:32.000 Are you observing a decrease in your personal liberty that's apparently for your safety and security?
00:26:39.000 And who sets the table for this increasing authoritarianism?
00:26:42.000 Why it's the legacy media, of course, It's those blue chip brands like the New York Times that will call any dissenting voice a conspiracy theorist that will come down hard in favor of the CIA or the FDA or NATO, any of those organizations.
00:27:00.000 The New York Times has gone so far in a new modern media landscape to mimic the former content of groups like Vice and make kind of folksy, homey, homespun, Accessible Casey Nasdaq style.
00:27:14.000 Hey on the deep state great style video.
00:27:17.000 Let's get into it.

00:28:02.000 Now, Let's have a look at how the New York Times handle the tricky job of making people love, I don't know, the CIA and the FBI.
00:28:12.000 I mean, remember, we're living at a time now where many people are deeply cynical about Big Pharma, deeply cynical about the...
00:28:19.000 Intentions and agenda of the health industry, but they are happy to create and then leap upon a bandwagon of undeserved enthusiasm for the deep state.
00:28:30.000 This is going to astonish you.
00:28:32.000 And before we begin, I want to remind you that when Jack Teixeira, the whistleblower, was arrested, the New York Times participated in the investigation and almost the arrest of a whistleblower.
00:28:43.000 A man who's now, of course, in prison.
00:28:45.000 When it came to reporting on CIA bases in the Ukraine, the New York Times admitted it was a story they'd known about for some time, but only reported on it with the complicity of the deep state.
00:28:55.000 So let me know in the chat why you think they are shilling for the deep state, propagandizing the deep state, normalizing the deep state, and of course condemning anyone who has any questions about the deep state.
00:29:07.000 Let's have a look.
00:29:12.000 I will totally obliterate the Deep State.
00:29:15.000 I will fire— Donald Trump is obsessed with the Deep State.
00:29:20.000 The Deep State— Deep State— The Deep State is destroying our nation.
00:29:24.000 Either the Deep State destroys America, or we destroy the Deep State.
00:29:30.000 And many Republicans are widening his paranoia.
00:29:33.000 These unelected bureaucrats ruining this country.
00:29:37.000 Consider this.
00:29:37.000 The New York Times know that you're not watching this video unless it comes via a conduit like this one.
00:29:44.000 That tells me that they know now that even their own audience, their own viewers, their own readers have doubts about the deep state.
00:29:55.000 This message is spreading.
00:29:57.000 This message of massive distrust of institutions is becoming immersive and powerful.
00:30:04.000 Remember how you felt during the pandemic when you had your suspicions about the medications and the measures that were being taken and the peculiar three-letter organizations that were being granted unprecedented authority?
00:30:16.000 Well, look at what's transpired in the intervening years.
00:30:20.000 You were right!
00:30:21.000 You were right about the medications.
00:30:22.000 You were right about the measures.
00:30:24.000 You were right about the profits.
00:30:25.000 You were right about the redactions.
00:30:27.000 You were right about the lies.
00:30:28.000 And now, even the people that watch the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC are beginning to awaken.
00:30:36.000 So when the Black Swan event comes, many, many people might be ready for it and might be ready to resist.
00:30:43.000 ...a cabal of security agents to... ...the sick political class that hates our country.
00:30:48.000 If elected, Trump's vowed to gut the federal government.
00:30:51.000 ...reinstate the Schedule F executive order and, quote, fire rogue bureaucrats.
00:30:57.000 But who are these bureaucrats and what may...
00:31:00.000 Who are these lovable bureaucrats?
00:31:02.000 How about a sideways look at some of those unsung heroes?
00:31:06.000 The Deep State!
00:31:08.000 Just remember what's going on in the world right now, what the CIA's role has been in the escalation of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and how the New York Times has reported, or rather, not reported on that.
00:31:21.000 Consider still the New York Times position on a journalist like Julian Assange, who as yet remains incarcerated.
00:31:28.000 Consider that even Bobby Kennedy, I mean even Bobby Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy is an out there guy, is saying that the CIA, the FBI, they should be dismantled, that many of the figures that have arisen in spaces like this one, Vivek Ramaswamy, say that the CIA should be disbanded, you should get rid of the FBI, that these organizations no longer claim to work for the people.
00:31:48.000 They work for the establishment, for the blob as many would call them, ensuring that you remain unawakened.
00:31:54.000 And look at how the New York Times, and believe me, there are comparable organizations in our nation that cooperate with the government, that corroborate the government's lies.
00:32:04.000 Organizations and agencies funded by your government that observe dissenting voices, that track information on dissenting voices, that Participate and even coordinate takedowns on dissenting voices.
00:32:15.000 How do I know that?
00:32:17.000 Personal experience and because of Freedom of Information Act requests that even now are dazzling and you're gonna have to wait and see those revelations as they come.
00:32:25.000 Makes them so dangerous.
00:32:29.000 We needed answers, so we took a trip across America.
00:32:32.000 In 100 yards, take the exit.
00:32:34.000 In search of the people behind this threatening entity.
00:32:41.000 I mean, of course there's human beings.
00:32:44.000 Like, have you seen that film that's out at the moment, Zone of Interest, where it takes, like, Hermann Hesse, or I think it's Hermann Hesse, isn't it?
00:32:51.000 Rudolf Hesse.
00:32:52.000 Not Hermann Hesse, the writer of Siddhartha, a brilliant and kindly gentleman.
00:32:55.000 Where it takes Rudolf Hesse, who is a senior Nazi working and at and overseeing Auschwitz, And shows how he was able to live a normal life in the shadow of death, destruction, and indeed genocide.
00:33:10.000 And, you know, lived a normal life.
00:33:11.000 If you were to focus on the normal, ordinary details of a Nazi or a genocidal lunatic, you would find Flavours of humanity amidst them.
00:33:22.000 I'm certainly not comparing these, you know, essentially bureaucrats.
00:33:25.000 There's a bureaucratic component to the CIA.
00:33:27.000 Martin Goury worked for the CIA as an analyst and it's his brilliant book, The Revolt of the Public, that we continually turn to when understanding how they've got into such a mess because independent media and social media spaces mean they cannot control the narrative anymore because we're all connected.
00:33:43.000 That's why they're working so hard to control these spaces.
00:33:48.000 This is astonishing.
00:33:49.000 This is an astonishing attempt At propaganda.
00:33:53.000 Meet Scott Bellamy.
00:33:55.000 I am a mission manager in the Planetary Missions Program Office.
00:33:59.000 He drives a Nissan Titan 4x4.
00:34:01.000 He's loved Star Trek since he was a kid.
00:34:03.000 He's a regular guy!
00:34:05.000 Hannah Arendt's masterpiece, The Banality of Evil, focuses precisely on this.
00:34:10.000 I'm not suggesting that this lovely guy with all his wonks and lanyards and bits and bobs is anything other than a perfectly likeable bureaucrat.
00:34:19.000 Why would he be anything else?
00:34:20.000 The fact is is that the CIA is an extraordinary and nebulous organization where there's probably no one individual that has any understanding or appreciation of exactly what's going on there.
00:34:29.000 But I'll tell you what I believe is going on there.
00:34:32.000 They're controlling the media, they're infiltrating social media, they're managing legacy media.
00:34:36.000 They're ensuring that stories don't reach you that would make you non-compliant and disobedient.
00:34:41.000 The very fact that there's people that... Look at this lady!
00:34:41.000 Am I wrong?
00:34:44.000 She works in the corridors cleaning with a mop!
00:34:46.000 She's lovable!
00:34:47.000 She's fa... Here's a car parking attendant!
00:34:50.000 He's a lovable guy!
00:34:50.000 He works in the lot!
00:34:52.000 He's got two kids at home.
00:34:53.000 Of course people are ultimately beautiful.
00:34:56.000 That is the great promise that the spiritual life offers us.
00:34:59.000 And even if you're just a humanitarian or a materialist, you know that everybody has beauty in them.
00:35:04.000 If you don't believe that, then what hope is there for any of us?
00:35:06.000 But the New York Times going out of its way to say, look at the... Donald Trump's out of his mind thinking that the deep state's a threat to democracy.
00:35:15.000 Of course it's a threat to democracy.
00:35:17.000 Why are we in a war, or at least a proxy war now, Defending Ukrainian democracy when they don't have elections, when they jail dissenters, Gonzalo Lira, died in prison, American journalist, when they've centralised all of their media, when they're doing deals with BlackRock and JPMorgan.
00:35:33.000 That's the democracy that your tax dollars are supporting?
00:35:36.000 No wonder the New York Times is working so hard to ensure that you remain compliant.
00:35:41.000 And all the chattering classes and Manhattan folks, did you see that piece about the deep state?
00:35:47.000 Oh my God, give me a break.
00:35:48.000 People talking about the Deep State.
00:35:50.000 The Deep State's lovely.
00:35:52.000 It's just that guy who likes Star Trek.
00:35:54.000 Well, the Deep State planned to murder Julian Assange.
00:35:58.000 That's a fact.
00:36:00.000 So there's your friendly Julian Assange.
00:36:01.000 Of course, it wasn't this lovely guy in his blue t-shirt, but the head of the CIA admitted it publicly.
00:36:07.000 So the Deep State is not your friend.
00:36:09.000 Of course I have a favorite character.
00:36:11.000 It's either Captain Kirk or Mr. Spock.
00:36:13.000 And he may have quite literally saved the planet from annihilation.
00:36:16.000 Potentially.
00:36:17.000 This is Radhika Fox.
00:36:19.000 I am the Assistant Administrator for Water at the Environmental Protection Agency.
00:36:24.000 She loves pilates, making salads...
00:36:27.000 She's taking her shoes off under the desk.
00:36:29.000 I'm not arguing with their perspective that that lady is nice or that man is nice.
00:36:33.000 I completely agree with that.
00:36:34.000 I'm saying that what part of what propaganda does is it amplifies irrelevant detail to distract you from the fact that even that Environmental Protection Agency, let's look at what their role was in the East Palestine train crash.
00:36:46.000 How did they respond to that?
00:36:48.000 But given that the environment is meant to be a significant issue, What kind of agenda do they have?
00:36:52.000 How does it function?
00:36:54.000 How does it ensure that the needs of ordinary people are met and not compromised by a globalist agenda to use climate change which, whether you believe it's a real threat or not, is doubtlessly being used by globalist elites to impose measures that will curtail the freedom of individuals.
00:37:09.000 No one's suggesting that those 15-minute cities will affect people that live on their own private archipelagos
00:37:17.000 with underground bunkers.
00:37:18.000 They've got their own 15-minute bunkers while they're suggesting that you live in 15-minute cities.
00:37:24.000 And watching the Taylor Swift Eras tour on TV with her family.
00:37:27.000 Uh, I think we're all pretty 1989.
00:37:30.000 Oh, and she led an operation to...
00:37:32.000 Can we use her?
00:37:33.000 Isn't her voice a little high?
00:37:34.000 No, no, that's really good because that, you know, it makes her kind of ridiculous, doesn't it?
00:37:39.000 Nobody can imagine that this person is some kind of deep throat figure that's handing over important information or shutting down freedom.
00:37:47.000 No, no, it's good, it's good.
00:37:49.000 Make our drinking water lead free in 10 years.
00:37:51.000 That's why your tax dollars pay experts like Radhika and Scott.
00:37:55.000 Important work like this is happening all over America.
00:37:58.000 From helping 2 million victims of the opioid crisis...
00:38:02.000 Ah, let's spend a few seconds on how we got into that opioid crisis.
00:38:06.000 What was the negligence of the state?
00:38:08.000 What was the institutionalized corruption?
00:38:10.000 What was the relationship between big pharma and family doctors who've been further impaired since the pandemic era?
00:38:17.000 How was it that just one family and one organization, the Sacklers and Purdue, were demonized when this was a situation that should have told us once and for all, never trust the pharmaceutical industry.
00:38:29.000 They'll kill you.
00:38:30.000 If there's a dollar in it, well there's a lesson that wasn't learned early enough.
00:38:33.000 There's a lesson that we could have done with in 2019.
00:38:36.000 Engineering major breakthroughs in nuclear fusion.
00:38:40.000 And helping make hearing aids affordable for 30 million people.
00:38:43.000 Well, hear this!
00:38:45.000 What the hell went on in that pandemic?
00:38:48.000 Why the hell are there people from the FDA working at Moderna right now?
00:38:51.000 What's going on?
00:38:52.000 What's the 650 million deal that's been done in the UK with AstraZeneca while there are cases going on that suggest that maybe people died as a result of that product?
00:39:02.000 Is your hearing aid still working?
00:39:03.000 Yep.
00:39:04.000 The deep state is hard at work making America great.
00:39:08.000 Amazing!
00:39:09.000 Fantastic!
00:39:10.000 The absolute balls of them!
00:39:11.000 But we should not be surprised that the New York Times participate in a project like that because you know how they participated in the arrest of Jack Teixeira.
00:39:23.000 Was he a whistleblower?
00:39:25.000 Should he be regarded as a hero?
00:39:26.000 Was he really just a bit of a kid bragging in a chat room about sensitive information?
00:39:31.000 Certainly the New York Times participated in the takedown that has led to his incarceration.
00:39:37.000 In April, the New York Times publicly identified the individual who allegedly leaked Pentagon documents exposing U.S.
00:39:43.000 government lies about the Ukraine war leading to his arrest.
00:39:47.000 The Times, working with the state-funded propaganda clearinghouse Bellingcat, you guys all heard of that, right?
00:39:53.000 Publicly revealed the identity of Jack Teixeira, or as we call him, Buddy Boy Teixeira, for no reason at all, because it certainly isn't his actual name.
00:40:01.000 A 21 year old, if you've ever seen pictures of this guy, he looks like about 9.
00:40:05.000 21 year old Air National Guard member.
00:40:07.000 We won't find many stories on Aaron Bushnell, will you?
00:40:10.000 Whose image and video has been scraped from the internet, and who do you think's facilitating that?
00:40:19.000 Who do you think's doing the hard, expensive work?
00:40:22.000 of cleaning up the internet of a story where a service person a member set fire to himself in protest of an American well if it does not call it an American conflict but a conflict that would not be taking place without American arms.
00:40:37.000 Is that a fair description?
00:40:38.000 Let me know in the chat.
00:40:39.000 Let me know in the chat.
00:40:43.000 NATO troops are on the ground in Ukraine.
00:40:45.000 This takes the complicity of the US media in the crimes of US imperialism to an entirely new level.
00:40:51.000 It has become an active co-partner with the government in preventing the development of an informed public opinion that could place restraints on the preparation, conduct and escalation of war.
00:41:01.000 That's what the legacy media has to do.
00:41:04.000 For the Times to publicly take actions that led directly to the arrest of a source of information vital to the public interest marks a milestone in the degeneration of the American press into an appendage of the state.
00:41:16.000 Anyone with information exposing criminal wrongdoing by the government cannot go to the New York Times, Washington Post or other major U.S.
00:41:22.000 media outlets for fear of simply being handed over to the police Or FBI.
00:41:27.000 And remember, too, the story about the CIA bases inside Ukraine that have been there for 10 years, involved and engaging in acts of provocation against Russia.
00:41:39.000 The history of that conflict is complicated.
00:41:42.000 Certainly, though, the 2014 coup was a significant moment.
00:41:45.000 Certainly the breach of pledges not to impede on former Soviet territories is significant, and no doubt Putin's own imperialist agenda is a factor worth considering, but the legacy media have got that angle covered.
00:41:59.000 And if what you seek and what you desire is peace, don't you have an obligation to report on significant details like the fact that Boris Johnson, then Prime Minister of the UK, scuppered a provisional deal between Zelensky and Putin, was it two years ago now?
00:42:14.000 Let me know in the chat, fellas!
00:42:17.000 Let's have a look at that story now.
00:42:21.000 So, on the weekend of the second anniversary of the war, the New York Times published a lengthy article revealing that the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022 was instigated by a systematic and widespread campaign of military intelligence aggression on the part of the United States.
00:42:37.000 The article details long-standing Central Intelligence Agency operations in Ukraine, in which the agency sponsored and built up the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Agency, HER, using it as a weapon of spying, assassination and provocation directed against Russia from on the decade.
00:42:50.000 The Times article, check this out, this is the bit that's important.
00:42:54.000 ...is not so much an exposure as a controlled release of information.
00:42:58.000 The US newspaper of record reports that the two authors of the piece, Adam Entis and Michael Schwarz, conducted more than 200 interviews with current and former officials in Ukraine, elsewhere in Europe, and in the States.
00:43:10.000 This activity could hardly have taken place without the knowledge, permission, and even encouragement of the CIA.
00:43:16.000 Oh, one wonder why they're so friendly and upbeat about the deep state.
00:43:19.000 As well as the Zelensky regime and Ukrainian intelligence.
00:43:22.000 By reporting the virtual control of the Ukrainian regime by the US military intelligence apparatus, The Times is seeking to pressure the Republicans to support the war funding.
00:43:31.000 So even there, there's an agenda that's sort of slightly...
00:43:35.000 Off-key, nefarious, insidious, I suppose is the correct word.
00:43:39.000 In order to get Republican support for further funding for that war, they said, well look, you know, we're involved in this thing.
00:43:46.000 It's American jobs.
00:43:47.000 Who's going to run all these bases?
00:43:49.000 It's arguing that this money is not going to a foreign government in a foreign war, thousands of miles from US borders, but to a subcontractor of American imperialism, waging an American war ...in which US personnel are deeply and directly engaged.
00:44:03.000 That's some fascinating news.
00:44:05.000 That's the way that the legacy media operates.
00:44:07.000 This is where the cartilage is of the interconnection between the state, private organizations crushing dissent online, you're aware of that, state intervention and intercession into our communications, and a globalist agenda that could lead to the very Black Swan event that Ron Paul is talking about.
00:44:28.000 Okay, guys, we're gonna have a little look at... In fact, I want to let you know about something about our partners.

00:46:47.000 Being fought seriously and severely within the Supreme Court.
00:46:52.000 It seems that they're likely to reject an effort to limit the federal government from pressuring social media companies.
00:46:57.000 So how are government, big tech and big academia working so hard right now to silence you?
00:47:03.000 Wouldn't you like someone just to do a deep dive into this and explain it to you?
00:47:07.000 We're going to do that.
00:47:08.000 Then we're going to come back.
00:47:09.000 We're going to have some fun together.
00:47:11.000 We're going to look at tumbling population levels.
00:47:12.000 We're going to have a laugh about some bank robberies being done by kids.
00:47:15.000 And we are going to give you an opportunity to get one month free in our movement as a member of our community opposing the forces that we talk about regularly.
00:47:25.000 Here's the news.
00:47:25.000 No, baby.
00:47:26.000 Here's the effing news.
00:47:27.000 Thanks for refusing Fox News.
00:47:29.000 Here's the news.
00:47:30.000 No, here's the fucking news.
00:47:33.000 The Supreme Court are probably going to reject an attempt to limit how much the federal government
00:47:39.000 can pressure social media when it comes to censorship.
00:47:42.000 So how are big government, big tech, and big academia teaming up to silence you?
00:47:50.000 For a minute it seemed like the conduct of the government during the pandemic period was to be scrutinized and ultimately condemned by the Supreme Court, but of course that's not going to happen.
00:48:00.000 Sometimes you hear about the Supreme Court seeming to reject the use of the judiciary as a weapon, but ultimately Ultimately, I suppose, it's an institution that's within American government and therefore largely supportive of centralized powers.
00:48:12.000 It's not ultimately a system that's going to empower people to start overthrowing stuff and creating new systems of government, is it?
00:48:18.000 Because how would it?
00:48:19.000 How could that work?
00:48:19.000 How could it?
00:48:20.000 So let's have a look at this story together, how it's being reported on the legacy media, and then let's look at at least three components of the censorship industrial complex, notably the state and the government And even though this is a Republican-sponsored endeavour, look at how it's being quashed.
00:48:34.000 Then let's look at big tech companies and how they've become more compliant and the manoeuvring they're having to do to remain in the favourable conditions that they need to be in, particularly in your country, America.
00:48:44.000 And finally, let's look at how big academia functions in this space as well, to create an inescapable orb of constant censorship and control that we're all just trying to live within as if it's normal.
00:48:54.000 The Supreme Court heard arguments yesterday on social media censorship claims against the government.
00:48:59.000 The court seemed likely to reject a bid by two GOP-led states to restrict the federal government from urging social media companies to restrict misleading posts or disinformation on their platforms, unless there is a threat of retribution.
00:49:14.000 At issue, Republican AGs of Missouri and Louisiana brought that case along with several individuals who claimed that platforms like Facebook suppressed their views against vaccines and lockdowns during the pandemic at the government's demand.
00:49:26.000 The court voiced more sympathy with the administration's defense during yesterday's arguments across a broad spectrum of those justices.
00:49:34.000 The justices questioned whether any plaintiffs suffered harms that gave them a right to sue and they expressed skepticism that the government's interactions with social media companies amounted to official restraint.
00:49:46.000 So they are saying that the government will be able to continue to pressure social media companies.
00:49:51.000 Companies, even though we know now that there was a lot of true information that was censored, even though we know now that we live in a curated reality where Google, for example, can amplify particular stories and news feeds, where you can be censored and shut down, where true information can be excluded.
00:50:06.000 Essentially, we are in a continual 360 programming simulation that now seems less likely than ever to be penetrated by alternative sources of information.
00:50:17.000 So that's pretty significant, particularly if you're aware of the recent story that the New York Times published saying, the Deep State are great, they're just people like you and me, which is a kind of inversion of that film Zone of Interest, sort of saying, well, he just lived next to the Auschwitz, he was alright really, rather than, this is a bizarre concoction, something that we shouldn't accommodate and put up with.
00:50:37.000 It's treating Facebook and these other platforms like they're subordinates.
00:50:43.000 Would you do that to the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal or the Associated Press or any other big newspaper or wire service?
00:50:52.000 You wouldn't have to.
00:50:53.000 They are eagerly on board with the projects of the establishment and have functioned perhaps for their entire history as vassals of the establishment social media because of its chaotic expanse for a moment and perhaps still in some beautiful dream could be a place where truth Sometimes inadvertently can reach large numbers of people.
00:51:12.000 It certainly makes us disobedient and less compliant when you can feel and sense immediate pushback on any propagandist endeavor.
00:51:20.000 But what this Supreme Court ruling or likely ruling means is that the government will be able to continue to And that's in addition to all these additional measures that we're seeing around the world.
00:51:32.000 New AI bills in the EU.
00:51:34.000 The New York Times telling us that the deep state are great.
00:51:36.000 Hate speech laws in Ireland.
00:51:38.000 Whatever Canada are passing this week, who knows?
00:51:40.000 Our country, the UK, with their online safety bill.
00:51:43.000 All of these tools are essentially the hands that mould our understanding of reality.
00:51:49.000 And any attempts at getting hands off my version of reality is being strongly resisted.
00:51:53.000 There's a problem if the government is engaged in coercion, but if it stays on the persuasion side of the line and all we're talking about is government speech.
00:52:00.000 I was merely persuading you to censor this information.
00:52:03.000 Would you mind awfully censoring all that information?
00:52:06.000 Remember Elon Musk has revealed that the FBI had some device that after two weeks eliminates and deletes, obliterating all of their interactions with X. Like when he revealed all that, what was then known as the Twitter files, Justice Jackson?
00:52:19.000 It was like, oh, the FBI have been getting involved and saying, hey, you should censor that, you should amplify
00:52:23.000 that.
00:52:23.000 Well, in addition, those interactions have been deleted now.
00:52:26.000 That's also illegal.
00:52:28.000 You can't delete information like that. That's against Freedom of Information Act request law. You're not supposed
00:52:34.000 Justice Jackson?
00:52:34.000 to do that.
00:52:35.000 AHH!
00:52:36.000 So my biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways
00:52:44.000 in the most important time periods.
00:52:48.000 That's really weird.
00:52:49.000 This is an ex-post from Glenn Greenwald.
00:52:51.000 KBJ doubles down.
00:52:53.000 My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in a significant way.
00:52:58.000 As he says, that is quite literally the entire point of the First Amendment, the entire Bill of Rights.
00:53:03.000 The point of the Bill of Rights is to ensure that big government doesn't encroach into the individual freedom of, in this case, Americans.
00:53:09.000 But some brilliant principles are found there, that government is meant to be a unit and system of service, not a system of control.
00:53:15.000 And even as I say that out loud, it's obviously bloody ridiculous, because otherwise none of this stuff will be happening.
00:53:20.000 I mean, none of these things would be top secret.
00:53:22.000 We wouldn't feel like we're in the middle of sort of an advanced agenda to centralise global power and prohibit us from accessing the information required to even argue against this increasingly, seemingly inevitable process.
00:53:34.000 I mean, what would you have the government do?
00:53:37.000 I've heard you say a couple of times that the government can post its own speech, but in my hypothetical, you know, kids, this is not safe, don't do it, is not going to get it done.
00:53:48.000 It's not like government's a victim in some way.
00:53:50.000 Poor old government, just trying to get on and censor people and protect and serve.
00:53:55.000 That's not the view anymore.
00:53:56.000 There's also some strange language around children there.
00:53:59.000 I'm trying to work out what the dynamic is.
00:54:01.000 And I suppose what the dynamic continually is, is to present the exploitation of powerful institutions as their kind of weary attempts to protect and help us.
00:54:11.000 And Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson or whoever it is this week are getting in the way of the government's attempt to just Help us to death!
00:54:19.000 And so I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country and you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging... That's amazing.
00:54:36.000 I don't want to hurt you but you're making me hurt you.
00:54:40.000 They have a duty to sort of override our freedom.
00:54:42.000 Some people would say that even if you're wrong about something, you should have the right to be wrong.
00:54:47.000 There are certain rules and regulations that most of us appreciate and understand to the degree where they could almost be regarded as universal.
00:54:53.000 Don't harm other people, don't take other people's property.
00:54:56.000 The kind of things that we all have a sort of sense of as being moral and ethical values which could of course be limitlessly debated.
00:55:02.000 But what we don't really need is a government usurping our own individual will, kind of colonizing our minds and controlling our realities and then sort of asking for a payment.
00:55:13.000 Like, we have half your money.
00:55:14.000 We don't need 50% of everything you've earned.
00:55:17.000 Well, all of that oppressing we've done is not cheap.
00:55:17.000 What for?
00:55:20.000 Or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information.
00:55:26.000 So, can you help me?
00:55:27.000 Because I'm really worried about that.
00:55:30.000 Because you've got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective, and you're saying that the government can't interact.
00:55:45.000 All of this prevarication and entervisigating around the idea of how much pressure or whatever euphemism they want to use to imply pressure and control is extracting a very important piece of information.
00:55:56.000 This pertains to the coronavirus period where they were censoring information in retrospect That was century stuff.
00:56:03.000 Like, what about natural immunity?
00:56:04.000 Vitamin D?
00:56:05.000 Have you got any concerns about vaccinating during a pandemic?
00:56:08.000 Hey, what if there are any adverse side effects?
00:56:10.000 Have they had a long enough clinical trial period to determine whether or not this might cause various other conditions or even death?
00:56:16.000 There are so many of those questions are entirely legitimate.
00:56:19.000 They're acting like the findings of the pandemic period was right.
00:56:22.000 See?
00:56:23.000 We told you that we should have been censoring all that stuff.
00:56:26.000 Lockdowns were effective.
00:56:27.000 Social distancing wasn't arbitrary.
00:56:29.000 Masks definitely worked.
00:56:30.000 There's no way we should have just been shielding elderly vulnerable people.
00:56:34.000 Very effective, wasn't it?
00:56:35.000 All these medications on young people.
00:56:37.000 Definitely no side effects.
00:56:39.000 No weird mad profits for Pfizer and Moderna.
00:56:42.000 Definitely aren't legal cases now with Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca.
00:56:45.000 So they're continuing, even though the body of evidence is, they were wrong to have done it.
00:56:50.000 They've lost the argument and now they're trying to double down on the control.
00:56:53.000 And of course that's not a coincidence, that's why.
00:56:56.000 Because now they're worried, oh no look, what happened was is people were telling the truth at the time that we were incorrect and that will continue to happen.
00:57:05.000 Whether it's wars or the next time we try to say everyone get in your house for, I don't know, is it a solar flare?
00:57:11.000 Is it a cyber attack?
00:57:13.000 Is it a terrorist attack?
00:57:14.000 Is it another pandemic?
00:57:15.000 Whatever it will be that is used to legitimize the next bold gambit to Steal away control of your life.
00:57:22.000 They want to ensure that people online going, wait a minute, this doesn't seem right, are silenced.
00:57:27.000 Because like last time, here's a bold prediction, those people will be right.
00:57:31.000 Not the government, not the FBI, not the CIA, and while the New York Times are saying Hey, they're just regular guys.
00:57:37.000 This person comes from a blue-collar background.
00:57:39.000 That's not important.
00:57:41.000 Literally, truly, not important.
00:57:43.000 Giving power to unelected officials who remain in power no matter what administration seizes the throne for a moment only to implement the exact same agenda is not a system of government that any of us should be accepting.
00:57:56.000 And we know that now, so they're just going to censor the conversation that we're all having.
00:58:00.000 The justices seem skeptical of the idea that by alerting social media companies to disinformation, the government was somehow coercing them.
00:58:09.000 They didn't see the evidence for that, and they said there should be a place for government officials to go to platforms and talk about harmful content, as long as they weren't, again, using their powers to coerce these companies, because that would violate the First Amendment.
00:58:23.000 But the justices weren't seeing that.
00:58:25.000 Hey, look, hi, I'm just here to have a bit of a chat.
00:58:27.000 Oh, where do you work?
00:58:28.000 I'm just a, you know, just a regular guy, works for the FBI.
00:58:31.000 Oh, well, cool, cool.
00:58:32.000 Anyway, I was just wondering if you'd send us out all of this information that doesn't lead to vast profits for pharmaceutical companies and the ability to regulate.
00:58:41.000 And I won't use any of my power.
00:58:43.000 I want you to think about my idiosyncrasies and quirks as an individual. Not the fact that I'm an agent of
00:58:47.000 the state that can control and shut you down and can demand taxes and can use
00:58:52.000 law to control criminalize and kill you actually if it comes to it. They're
00:58:57.000 not your friend. The system is not your friend. This is oppression and tyranny
00:59:01.000 as always presented as normal and helpful. The repercussions of a
00:59:06.000 ruling could be far reaching as the nation heads into a contentious election.
00:59:10.000 We expect a ruling on the case sometime in June.
00:59:14.000 That's significant as well because obviously they are anticipating the requirement to control and censor information in the build-up to the next election in the event that they can't put Donald Trump in jail.
00:59:24.000 Now whether or not you believe Donald Trump is the solution to a nation's ills or not, the fact is the establishment seem Hell-bent on controlling and imprisoning Donald Trump, and even more significantly, in my view, the constituency that he represents of hugely dissatisfied people that are rejecting the neoliberal project and demanding freedom, be closer to home, and with that, at least, I agree with them entirely.
00:59:46.000 Let's have a look at a legacy media take on this, just in case we start thinking that the government's out to oppress us, and we need that realisation somehow diluted by our friends in the legacy media.
00:59:57.000 The Supreme Court seems prepared to reject a Republican-led effort to sharply limit the federal government from pressuring social media companies to remove harmful posts and misinformation from their platforms.
01:00:07.000 A majority of justices from across the ideological spectrum, from here to here, As if Supreme Court judges are just a random cross-section of society.
01:00:16.000 What a vast spectrum that is!
01:00:17.000 The ideological expressed concern about hamstringing White House officials and other federal employees from communicating with tech giants about posts the government deems problematic that are related to public health, national security, and elections, among other topics.
01:00:31.000 You know, you're a person, aren't you?
01:00:33.000 You love people, you're worried, you've got concerns and doubts and fears about, I don't know, getting older and the world and all that.
01:00:38.000 So you sometimes just go, you know what's getting me down is that I'm worried that the White House are hamstrung in their ability to pressure social media when it comes to matters of public health.
01:00:48.000 Why can't the government just get in there?
01:00:50.000 What they're actually talking about there is the ability of the government to censor social media.
01:00:54.000 Let's forget that their relationship with most social media platforms is so convivial.
01:00:59.000 It amounts to propaganda, really, anyway.
01:01:01.000 They're slowly working out, oh my God, this is a resource where things can somewhat organically take shape and present entirely new economic, media, and ideological spaces.
01:01:10.000 We've seen it with Napster, Arab Spring, Trump.
01:01:13.000 Brexit, whatever.
01:01:14.000 But now, what they're working out is, look, as long as we've got favourable relationships and a bunch of contracts with Amazon and Google and elsewhere, we can exert some control over these platforms.
01:01:24.000 That's what they're working out.
01:01:25.000 But they clearly want to be able to immediately have boots on the ground, as it were, agents in the offices of these places, just pretending to be their mates.
01:01:33.000 Shouldn't reach for another one really, instead they're all just mates having a chat rather than the government censoring you.
01:01:38.000 The first amendment prevents the government from censoring speech and punishing people for expressing different views.
01:01:44.000 Bloody thing.
01:01:45.000 But the Biden administration says officials are entitled to share information, participate in public debate and urge action as long as their requests are not accompanied by threats.
01:01:53.000 Well, to be fair, I didn't threaten people.
01:01:56.000 I said, remove all of those posts from those doctors and Stanford scientists saying that there is no proof that this inhibits transmission.
01:02:05.000 I just asked them to do that and we shamed them and stopped their fun.
01:02:09.000 But I didn't threaten them.
01:02:10.000 I didn't threaten them.
01:02:11.000 That wasn't a threat.
01:02:12.000 That was a promise.
01:02:13.000 Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned during a meeting in Seoul on Monday of a flood of falsehoods that suffocate serious civic debate.
01:02:22.000 Ooh, serious civic debate.
01:02:23.000 They want falsehoods flooding that.
01:02:25.000 Social media and artificial intelligence, he said, created an accelerant for disinformation.
01:02:29.000 Principal Deputy Solicitor General Brian Fletcher, representing the Biden administration, said government officials have long-standing authority to use the bully pulpit to inform and persuade.
01:02:39.000 The lower court ruling, he said, would prevent thousands of government officials, including FBI agents and presidential aides, from addressing threats to national security and public health.
01:02:47.000 I don't think this should happen.
01:02:48.000 If I had a vote, if it was me and sort of 12 of you, we'd go, yeah, that's good.
01:02:52.000 That's what we want.
01:02:53.000 Stop them doing that.
01:02:54.000 The initial ruling in the lawsuit came from a conservative district court judge in Louisiana who said that the Biden administration appeared to have operated the most massive attack.
01:03:02.000 Good band.
01:03:03.000 Against free speech.
01:03:04.000 Well, that's not good.
01:03:05.000 In United States history, the court's order barred thousands of federal employees from improperly influencing tech companies to remove certain content.
01:03:13.000 Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit narrowed the decision to a smaller set of government officials and agencies, including the Surgeon General's Office, the White House, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the FBI.
01:03:13.000 The U.S.
01:03:24.000 A three-judge panel of the appeals court said the White House probably coerced the platforms to make their moderation decisions by way of intimidating messages and threats of adverse consequences.
01:03:34.000 Doesn't seem right, does it, that that's how they operate?
01:03:36.000 The panel also found that the White House significantly encouraged the platform's decisions by commandeering their decision-making process, both in violation of the First Amendment.
01:03:44.000 So it's actually outrageous when you hear it described like that, and the sort of thing that should absolutely be stamped out.
01:03:49.000 And the fact that, like, the Supreme Court judge is saying, I'm a bit worried that we're hamstrung by this First Amendment.
01:03:55.000 It's a bit of a shame that we can't just, you know, condemn people without trial and throw them in jail and create gulags and put chips under people's skin.
01:04:02.000 We're really hamstrung by that.
01:04:04.000 In October, the Supreme Court intervened and allowed the Biden administration to resume communications with social media companies while the litigation continued.
01:04:12.000 So they're still literally doing it right now.
01:04:15.000 That's how the world works now we know.
01:04:18.000 One of the Republicans who's been leading the opposition to the Biden administration's ability to coerce and pressure in the way that's been described is the Congressman Jim Jordan.
01:04:18.000 Brilliant.
01:04:28.000 This is an article by him about how academia After Elon Musk bought Twitter, we began to see just how much the government had been using the company to censor speech online.
01:04:43.000 Journalists such as Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger published internal Twitter documents showing that the government was deeply involved in Twitter's content moderation decisions.
01:04:52.000 Musk even called Twitter a crime scene.
01:04:54.000 Since then, the Select Subcommittee has obtained direct evidence showing how the government coerced and colluded with Facebook, YouTube, Amazon, universities and others to deliberately censor certain viewpoints.
01:05:04.000 For example, we uncovered how the Biden White House directly pressured Facebook and YouTube to take down posts with which the White House disagreed, including True information, memes, and other content that did not violate the company's content moderation policies.
01:05:18.000 Of those listed, I would say true information is the most troubling, because when you consider that Supreme Court justice saying, you know, we're hamstrung, we're hamstrung...
01:05:27.000 This is because they were wrong.
01:05:27.000 Hold on.
01:05:29.000 They were wrong.
01:05:30.000 What they were saying was wrong.
01:05:31.000 What they were doing was wrong.
01:05:32.000 And you're trying to make it right somehow.
01:05:34.000 This is ridiculous.
01:05:36.000 And while this piece is of course by a Republican politician and therefore partisan, it's irrelevant really because Mark Zuckerberg himself admitted, I think with Lex Friedman, that they had censored true information on Facebook because the government Asked them to.
01:05:55.000 So, I don't know how much more information we need on this subject.
01:06:02.000 The censorship was so bad that Facebook's President of Global Affairs, Nick Clegg, the former Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, what a coincidence, ...protested to the Biden White House, to no avail, that the White House's demands represented a significant incursion into traditional boundaries of free expression in the US.
01:06:19.000 Like, free expression is just like a tradition, like wearing a hat or pancake day, something that might be seen as a quaint custom rather than a pretty important value actually.
01:06:29.000 Internal emails show that the social media giants caved and changed their policies to censor more Americans' free speech because Facebook and YouTube needed to maintain a good relationship with the White House for other important policy decisions like breaking up Facebook and Alphabet because they are monopolies and have the power to control information and censor.
01:06:48.000 And the government said, you want to carry on doing that, you better bloody well censor what we ask you to.
01:06:53.000 And they said, alright then.
01:06:54.000 So that's that put into the colloquial language of normal people.
01:06:58.000 There's a word for that.
01:06:59.000 Coercion.
01:07:00.000 Corruption.
01:07:00.000 And another word.
01:07:01.000 But the Biden administration's censorship campaign didn't end with social media.
01:07:04.000 The White House even tried to censor books.
01:07:06.000 The Select Subcommittee released internal Amazon emails in which company personnel, when preparing for an upcoming meeting with the Biden White House, asked Is the admin asking us to remove books?
01:07:15.000 Or are they more concerned about search results, order, or both?
01:07:19.000 Ultimately, Amazon appears to have changed its policies because of White House pressure censoring books, questioning vaccines by enabling a feature called Do Not Promote.
01:07:28.000 What could be more un-American than the federal government telling a private company what
01:07:31.000 books it can sell?
01:07:33.000 I suppose it reveals that all of this talk of free trade and commerce and free market
01:07:36.000 is a bit of a smoke screen really for just a way of continuing to profiteer and control
01:07:40.000 certain cultural spaces.
01:07:41.000 Meanwhile, centralized power continues unchallenged.
01:07:44.000 I'm imagining one of the books they'll be referring to is Bobby Kennedy's book, which
01:07:47.000 was top of the New York Times bestseller list for some time, a book detailing the corruption
01:07:52.000 of Anthony Fauci, the career of Anthony Fauci, the many peculiar decisions he's made and
01:07:56.000 money he's made, and that book, the New York Times just didn't have a number one for 10
01:08:00.000 weeks.
01:08:01.000 It was just that number just had a space next to it.
01:08:03.000 So that's what the New York Times, who will tell you what great guys at Deep State are,
01:08:06.000 because they work for the Deep State.
01:08:07.000 They're essentially part of the Deep State, where it's arresting poor old buddy boy Teixeira
01:08:11.000 or conveniently releasing stories about CIA bases being in Ukraine for the last 10 years
01:08:16.000 in order to facilitate Republican support for a bill that's perpetuating an unwinnable
01:08:20.000 war.
01:08:21.000 So the idea that the legacy media is in any position to report objectively on this stuff
01:08:24.000 is ridiculous also.
01:08:26.000 Big government and big tech weren't alone in this censorship enterprise.
01:08:29.000 Big academia was intricately involved too.
01:08:31.000 The Select Subcommittee uncovered emails showing that Stanford University set up something called the Election Integrity Partnership in the summer of 2020.
01:08:38.000 That name will tell you exactly what it's doing.
01:08:41.000 Oh, you don't need that speech.
01:08:42.000 Oh, you don't need those jokes.
01:08:43.000 This partnership submitted thousands of posts directly to Big Tech to be censored in the lead up to the 2020 election.
01:08:49.000 Including true information, jokes, and even speech by members of Congress.
01:08:53.000 Oh, you don't need that speech. Oh, you don't need those jokes. You don't need that information.
01:08:57.000 Bloody hell.
01:08:58.000 As concerning as all this is, what comes next is even scarier.
01:09:01.000 The government has now turned its attention to supercharging the censorship process by funding the development of AI-powered tools to do it at scale.
01:09:07.000 We've been telling you about this for a while and we've been subject to it as well at the hands of government proxies, who I won't name anymore because I think they scan our videos to find their name and de-amplify them, but you can look for those videos and they're really worth watching.
01:09:20.000 The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government's latest report revealed how the National Science Foundation issued multi-million dollar grants to university and non-profit research teams to develop AI-powered censorship and propaganda tools to combat alleged misinformation.
01:09:34.000 One NSF-funded research team said the quiet part out loud when it told NSF that its AI-powered tool could help social media platforms more comprehensively enforce their misinformation policies and thus Externalize the difficult responsibility of censorship.
01:09:47.000 We could get them to do it for us!
01:09:49.000 Non-public documents also reveal the condescending way the censors privately talk about Americans, particularly military families, the elderly, rural and indigenous communities, and Americans who hold the Bible and the Constitution as sacred.
01:10:01.000 Oh my God, don't you suspect that as well on a person that they just don't like you?
01:10:04.000 That's why that bill didn't pass in Ireland recently, because people are beginning to understand that the elites do not like them, not one bit, and people would rather reach back to a tradition that at least has some sort of value, like, I don't know, God and religion, than believe in these new made-up agendas that are entirely about disempowering people and pretending it's about kindness.
01:10:22.000 We've made incredible progress fighting government-induced censorship over the past year.
01:10:27.000 We owe tremendous gratitude to the many Democrats, progressive journalists, and other left-of-center witnesses who have bravely been willing to testify in front of the select subcommittee, even when facing baseless personal attacks from Democrats on the subcommittee.
01:10:39.000 If we lose our freedom of speech, our other cherished First Amendment rights to practice our faith, to publish and report, to assemble peacefully, and to petition our government, are vulnerable too.
01:10:48.000 And I would say that, actually, that it's not hysterical to imagine that next in line are precisely those rights.
01:10:54.000 In fact, if you look at them, you know, the right to assemble peacefully, that's kind of under attack.
01:10:58.000 There's lots of new protest laws, petition our government.
01:11:00.000 Like, they don't care, do they, really, what you say?
01:11:03.000 Democracy even explicitly is if you don't vote for this one person you are voting for tyranny.
01:11:09.000 That is conversely obviously already tyranny because you've only got one option according to them.
01:11:14.000 When that's coupled with the kind of authoritarianism that they're not acknowledging, the warmongering that they're not acknowledging, what exactly is this sacred thing that they are protecting?
01:11:24.000 What is it?
01:11:25.000 All of their censorship, all of their authoritarianism, their endless intervention, their warmongering around the world.
01:11:29.000 This is our way of life, our traditions.
01:11:31.000 You know that they laugh at American families that are rural, that believe in God, that believe in the Constitution.
01:11:37.000 They laugh at that.
01:11:38.000 They think it's ridiculous.
01:11:39.000 They think you're ridiculous.
01:11:40.000 We know that now.
01:11:41.000 They think that your values are laughable.
01:11:42.000 They think that your rights are laughable.
01:11:44.000 And that's why What will happen in the Supreme Court is the government will be allowed to continue to censor people just on the off chance people start connecting with one another and rejecting their increasingly evident tyranny.
01:11:54.000 But that's just what I think.
01:11:55.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the chat?
01:11:56.000 See you in a second.
01:11:57.000 Thanks for refusing Fox News.
01:11:58.000 Do you use the news?
01:11:59.000 No.
01:12:00.000 Who's the fucking news?
01:12:01.000 Thanks for...
01:12:02.000 We asked for your comments and you bloody well gave them to us, didn't ya?
01:12:06.000 Things like, the deep state's like grandma, just trying to help and protect you.
01:12:10.000 That's Sir Teres's comment.
01:12:11.000 Tolson718, the government is the source of disinformation.
01:12:15.000 Sorry about that, that's my dog bothering me.
01:12:17.000 Duckclouds, Orwellianindeed, S.O.
01:12:19.000 Blue, do that FBI accent again.
01:12:22.000 What one?
01:12:23.000 Which one?
01:12:24.000 I will.
01:12:25.000 I will do it if you tell me what it is.
01:12:27.000 By God, I'll do it.
01:12:28.000 If you need entertaining, I'll entertain them.
01:12:30.000 What do you want to see next?
01:12:31.000 Do you want to see Russell Brand for British Ambassador to America?
01:12:36.000 I'll take it.
01:12:37.000 Do you want to see a story about, you know, Elon and Don Lemon and all of that. Do you want to see a
01:12:46.000 story about underpopulation, which is actually pretty terrifying?
01:12:48.000 Do you want to see some little cute adorable children robbing a bank? So you can even say
01:12:53.000 Don Lemon gay one. Underpopulation
01:12:59.000 Two, adorable little children robbing a bank.
01:13:01.000 Three, it's up to you, that's what, it's you, it's up to you to decide.
01:13:05.000 Not C, A Miller, 1214.
01:13:08.000 It was numbers, not letters.
01:13:10.000 You've got to communicate in a language that, there's Bear, Bear's there, you've got to communicate with us in a language we understand.
01:13:16.000 We've already been on two, three, all of you, our little cute bank robber babies.
01:13:21.000 Who doesn't want to see cute little bank robber babies?
01:13:24.000 In your country, America, there used to be a show called Little Rascals.
01:13:26.000 You know that, don't you?
01:13:28.000 Alfalfa, lovable, little scamp kids.
01:13:30.000 Weren't they adorable?
01:13:31.000 Well, it's happening in real life now.
01:13:33.000 It's really funny, because there's news reporting it.
01:13:35.000 They keep trying to balance, like, making it like The Little Rascals, but they're going, it's not actually like The Little Rascals, because these kids robbed a bank, and The Little Rascals would never have done that.
01:13:45.000 That's actually quite... Don't rob banks, kids.
01:13:48.000 How many more times?
01:13:49.000 You're grounded!
01:13:50.000 Yeah, good luck grounding me, you son of a bitch!
01:13:52.000 I'm fully armed!
01:13:53.000 Who doesn't remember the Little Rascals?
01:13:55.000 The mischief-making gang was a staple of- Everyone don't remember now because it was ages ago.
01:14:00.000 It was ages and ages ago.
01:14:01.000 I think they tried to revive it a bit, didn't they?
01:14:03.000 In a sort of a Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin, let's milk that kid for a few more hours type way.
01:14:08.000 But Little Rascals, weren't it like the 50s?
01:14:10.000 Weren't it like ages ago?
01:14:11.000 I mean, is there literally anyone in this chat who saw Little Rascals when it was happening?
01:14:15.000 That's why they have to keep establishing context the whole time about Little Rascals.
01:14:20.000 In a way they would never establish context if they were saying that Donald Trump used the phrase bloodbath to describe tariffs he might impose on the industry and what the lack of those tariffs might mean to the car industry were the tariffs not imposed because the Biden administration got a second term.
01:14:35.000 They're not going to give you that context.
01:14:37.000 When it comes to the little rascals, there's context up the wazoo.
01:14:41.000 Children's television in the 50s and remains a pop culture phenomenon today.
01:14:46.000 Now the name is actually being used by the FBI to It's funny because they're on the brink of sort of glamorizing it and also sort of suggesting that it's quite cute but also they did, they actually did rob a bank.
01:15:03.000 They're being called the Little Rascals Bank Robbers.
01:15:07.000 The FBI says these kids, ages 11, 12, and 16... There are those numbers, in case you don't know what numbers are.
01:15:15.000 These adorable scams, they're like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but in real life, robbing a bank.
01:15:22.000 What's the crime of robbing a bank to the crime of a new bank opening?
01:15:25.000 Banks are shutting down everywhere.
01:15:27.000 Have you seen a bank like with a teller in the last 50 years?
01:15:30.000 Everything's done at an AVM.
01:15:32.000 They want to put chips under my skin.
01:15:34.000 Just pulled off a bank heist during spring break from school.
01:15:38.000 Spring break!
01:15:39.000 Now give me your fucking money.
01:15:41.000 Authorities say the boys passed a threatening note to the teller at a Wells Fargo bank in Houston.
01:15:46.000 We want Richby.
01:15:48.000 Give us rascals your money.
01:15:50.000 Houston.
01:15:51.000 Then they ran off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
01:15:55.000 Even the FBI was taken aback.
01:15:57.000 Recognize these little rascals?
01:15:59.000 Believe it or not, they... Let's do it so the FBI are trying to do it as a joke.
01:16:03.000 That's not their job.
01:16:03.000 Recognize these little rascals?
01:16:06.000 They're real life Dennis the Menaces.
01:16:08.000 He just robbed a bank.
01:16:10.000 Now we're orangey!
01:16:11.000 The Little Rascals was the classic black and white comedy series that generations of Americans have enjoyed.
01:16:17.000 Stop adding context!
01:16:19.000 If you haven't, since the beginning of this news report, gleaned who the Little Rascals are, they've told you so many times, haven't they?
01:16:26.000 Now some real-life Little Rascals have done a real-life bankrob.
01:16:29.000 I still don't even actually know if they did that bankrob.
01:16:31.000 They're probably innocent, these kids.
01:16:33.000 Cops say after the Wells Fargo photos were released, the parents of two of the youngsters
01:16:38.000 came forward and turned their sons in.
01:16:42.000 Snitches got stitches, mom.
01:16:43.000 Calling the little rascals gang.
01:16:46.000 Nothing lighthearted about these, this crime.
01:16:49.000 Actually this was a, they killed a bank teller.
01:16:51.000 Like, you know, it's extraordinary really because when I think about the financial crimes
01:16:55.000 that the likes of, well not necessarily Wells Fargo specifically, but in 2008 there was
01:17:00.000 some considerable financial crimes that were practiced across entire communities, vast
01:17:05.000 swathes of America were impoverished and still are impoverished to this day.
01:17:09.000 Indeed, ultimately, these will be poor children carrying out that.
01:17:12.000 I bet they're not rich kids, ultimately.
01:17:14.000 I'm not seeking to suggest, in the way that this news report does, that the crime of robbing a bank is trivial.
01:17:19.000 I'm suggesting the context in which crime takes place is significant.
01:17:23.000 When you impoverish and deracinate an entire population, crime is inevitable.
01:17:29.000 I know that from experience.
01:17:31.000 I spoke to former FBI investigator Bill Daley.
01:17:34.000 If police were to get into the bank, no matter how young a perpetrator might be, and if they pose a threat to them, something bad could happen.
01:17:42.000 All three juveniles have been charged with robbery by threat.
01:17:47.000 That's the news, these little bastards!
01:17:49.000 Well guys, we're going to wrap it up right now.
01:17:51.000 Now, we're going to do another 10 minutes over on Locals with our AwakendWonder community.

01:19:37.000 I'm not even reading that one out!
01:19:38.000 Spanky was not... There was not one called Spanky!
01:19:42.000 There was not one called Grover!
01:19:43.000 There was not one called Baldfucker!
01:19:45.000 Listen!
01:19:46.000 I'm getting... I'm getting sick of this!
01:19:47.000 I am getting... He was the main rascal!
01:19:50.000 You're out of control!
01:19:51.000 Get over onto Locals now!
01:19:52.000 We'll have a little bit of fun together!

01:19:55.000 See you later!
01:19:55.000 See you tomorrow!
01:19:56.000 Not for more of the same, but for more of the different!
