00:00:00.000 I am showing 30 frames due to time constraints and not just renconters.

00:00:21.000 I am showing 30 frames due to time constraints and not just renconters.

00:00:36.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:00:50.000 Hello there, you awakening wonders.

00:00:52.000 Fear not, for God is real and you live in but a fragment of reality.

00:00:56.000 That is what we are awakening to, the sensory illusion of completeness provided through the instruments of the senses and the great power that lurks within you.

00:01:06.000 Probably down by your belly button or your groin, somewhere like that. 0.59

00:01:09.000 If you're watching us on YouTube, the first 15 minutes will be available before we slip off into our sweet home, Rumble, where we're free to speak openly and plainly, to bring people together in a glorious celebration of love.

00:01:24.000 Not like in the dystopian future that your overlords are planning for you even now, where a chrome ball will float into the centre of your vision.

00:01:31.000 Scan you up and down the iris in exchange for a crypto token.

00:01:35.000 Is that what you call life?

00:01:37.000 I don't know.

00:01:38.000 Would you, my on-screen assistant and ally, Gareth Roy?

00:01:41.000 I'd probably end up doing it.

00:01:42.000 You'd do it, wouldn't you?

00:01:43.000 I probably would.

00:01:44.000 Because I remember last time round, you scuttled off to them outdoor tents so enthusiastically, you couldn't get there fast enough.

00:01:51.000 I believed them!

00:01:52.000 They lied to us!

00:01:54.000 But you knew all along, didn't you?

00:01:56.000 And when we're exclusively on Rumble, that's one of the things we'll be talking about because new data has revealed from Squatland, that's how they talk up there, that we were told many a lockdown lie.

00:02:10.000 I am.

00:02:11.000 Here's the news.

00:02:12.000 We'll be telling you yet more about the UFO hearings.

00:02:14.000 Has it all been a distraction, as you long suspected?

00:02:17.000 Or was it simply a way to ratchet up budgets?

00:02:21.000 I bet it was.

00:02:22.000 First though, Elon Musk reckons he's going to pay the legal fees of anyone who asks him.

00:02:27.000 Although, as long as it pertains to a free speech issue or where they post it on.

00:02:31.000 Are we going to call it X?

00:02:33.000 We're going to have to call it X. What do you mean?

00:02:35.000 Aren't you going to keep calling it Twitter?

00:02:36.000 What do you do when you do an X?

00:02:39.000 Tweet.

00:02:41.000 You can't just change that.

00:02:42.000 I'm used to it now.

00:02:43.000 Yeah.

00:02:44.000 I'm used to it.

00:02:45.000 X-ting. 1.00

00:02:46.000 X-ting. 1.00

00:02:46.000 I don't know. 1.00

00:02:47.000 That's not bad.

00:02:48.000 Is that what you're supposed to say?

00:02:49.000 Let us know in the comments.

00:02:50.000 Are we supposed to say we're X-ting each other?

00:02:52.000 We're going to just change that now?

00:02:53.000 Oh, I miss that little blue bird.

00:02:55.000 He's white on a blue background, but I miss him all the same.

00:02:57.000 Don't you?

00:02:58.000 I don't know.

00:02:58.000 Do you?

00:02:59.000 Does it matter?

00:02:59.000 What did he represent, Ross?

00:03:01.000 He represented the FBI intruding into your private affairs.

00:03:05.000 He represented the Hunter Biden laptop being kept out of the news even though they knew it was true.

00:03:11.000 He represented mind management, that our attention now has become a commodity, that knowledge, that awareness itself is regarded as little more than a resource by the powerful elites that would herd you into paddocks of ignorance where we would liberate you into the great pastures and plains of sweet lady freedom.

00:03:29.000 Would we?

00:03:30.000 I think that's what we're trying to do.

00:03:31.000 So Elon Musk says if you're punished by an employer, let us know if you've been punished by an employer, you could be in line for a Community Action Trust reward.

00:03:40.000 That's not my words, that's Crime Watch, a British show from the 1980s.

00:03:44.000 No, of course you haven't.

00:03:45.000 It does sound like one of those adverts though, doesn't it?

00:03:47.000 That if you were unfairly treated by an employer because of this... Were you injured at work?

00:03:52.000 I was injured at work, actually.

00:03:54.000 That sort of thing's always happening to me.

00:03:55.000 But he says he'll fund the legal bill of anyone who was unfairly treated.

00:03:59.000 He can't even run his own company, can he, anymore?

00:04:01.000 They've had to sack 80% of the team.

00:04:02.000 How's he going to pay for all these legal bills?

00:04:04.000 I guess in that category, you would have to put Donald Trump there.

00:04:07.000 Is it pro bono?

00:04:08.000 Is it no win, no fee?

00:04:09.000 How are they going to do it?

00:04:10.000 What, he's going to have to pay for Trump's?

00:04:11.000 What I'm saying is, if Trump literally said to him, pay my legal fees because of a tweet, it's kind of an X I did.

00:04:17.000 But no, he's going to be because of his truth socials.

00:04:20.000 Are you on truth social?

00:04:20.000 Yes.

00:04:22.000 Do you go on truth social?

00:04:22.000 No.

00:04:23.000 I don't.

00:04:23.000 It's not as catchy as Twitter.

00:04:25.000 It's not, is it?

00:04:25.000 No.

00:04:26.000 As X?

00:04:27.000 X.

00:04:29.000 Also, though, there's a new world coin out now.

00:04:30.000 Do you remember when cryptocurrencies were bad?

00:04:32.000 Well, that was when the government couldn't control them and use them to capture data that they suck straight out of your eyeballs.

00:04:39.000 Before you know it, your eye will be bouncing on your cheekbone, your optic nerve hanging like a suspender belt, while all of your information is sucked out of your cerebellum.

00:04:48.000 Is that what you want?

00:04:49.000 Because that's what's going to happen.

00:04:51.000 Let's have a look at these new eyehole-sucking chrome balls and ask yourself, Do they put conspiracy theories out there that are so outlandish that when the truth actually happens, you're like, oh, this is not as bad.

00:05:02.000 For example, and I know some of you lot are out there. 0.94

00:05:04.000 I know you are, because we read your comments. 0.98

00:05:06.000 We read your crazy comments, you beauties. 0.75

00:05:08.000 If you're watching this on Rumble, click the red button now and join us on Locals.

00:05:11.000 But you know when people say stuff like nanotechnology in particular medications, right?

00:05:16.000 And you think, oh, come on, that's going to be expensive to do that at scale.

00:05:19.000 You think that's too crazy. 0.80

00:05:20.000 But well, where we are now is a chrome bull is going to suck information out of your Out of like what people in prison would call your extra orifice.

00:05:31.000 One of your upstairs empty ports.

00:05:34.000 And they're going to suck all of the information out of there and give it to the government.

00:05:38.000 Doesn't seem right, does it?

00:05:39.000 Doesn't.

00:05:39.000 Let's have a look.

00:05:41.000 This silver sphere, now the subject of privacy concerns across the world.

00:05:45.000 An eyeball scanning machine promising to prove just how human a person can be in the fact- Just how human a person can be?

00:05:53.000 That's- You're already as human as- You can't be more human than you are, can you?

00:05:57.000 No.

00:05:58.000 I mean, what do you, like, you... Because human just means you are a biological entity born of another human, doesn't it?

00:06:05.000 Yep.

00:06:06.000 Like, you can't be more of that because of a chrome ball says so.

00:06:09.000 No, well, this is apparently all in aid of proving that you're human online and that you're not a bot.

00:06:14.000 So we've created... Instead of having to do that zebra crossing.

00:06:16.000 Right.

00:06:17.000 I hate having to do that zebra crossing.

00:06:19.000 How many motorbikes are in... What about this, them letters?

00:06:23.000 It's so confusing.

00:06:24.000 And it's an A and a 4.

00:06:25.000 Oh, I don't know!

00:06:25.000 Is that an A or is it a 4?

00:06:28.000 Can you help me, Chrome Disk?

00:06:29.000 I can help you, but it's going to cost you your freedom.

00:06:32.000 Now open up your eyehole. 0.96

00:06:33.000 I said eyehole! 0.76

00:06:35.000 Sorry, I thought I'd take a chance.

00:06:37.000 So this is going to... it's to make sure that online we're as people as we say we are.

00:06:41.000 Right.

00:06:42.000 But, you know, so we've created this internet space that basically was meant to be this place of freedom.

00:06:47.000 Freedom.

00:06:47.000 Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, all these things.

00:06:51.000 Hold on.

00:06:51.000 Hey, my button disk!

00:06:54.000 Button disk's not on!

00:06:54.000 It's freedom button.

00:06:55.000 Allegedly.

00:06:57.000 George Michael, did he die in vain?

00:06:57.000 Freedom.

00:06:59.000 Did he... Oh, right.

00:07:02.000 Yeah, go on.

00:07:02.000 There you go.

00:07:03.000 The internet was meant about freedom, you were saying.

00:07:04.000 Yeah, you know, it was meant to be about that.

00:07:05.000 Then it got to a place where it was all about commerce.

00:07:07.000 Then it was a place where, you know, there's all these bots everywhere.

00:07:11.000 And now we have to prove to the internet that we're human enough to be there.

00:07:15.000 It sounds... It's mad.

00:07:16.000 Hey, I don't like that, Gareth!

00:07:17.000 And the only way we can do that is by giving away all our data to the government.

00:07:21.000 Prove to me that you are a human!

00:07:23.000 Let me look down your eye hole! 1.00

00:07:25.000 But you're a robot!

00:07:26.000 What kind of society are we living in where a robot can come up to me in the street and ask me how human I am when it itself is just an uprooted headlight floating in space?

00:07:36.000 You know in the latter Star Wars movies where R2-D2 instead became that sort of two balls rolling around guy?

00:07:43.000 I didn't like him.

00:07:44.000 I didn't like him as well because it was clear they went oh look it's a bit like r2d2 but not as good or cute or anything and can't have a small person in there operating it's just a couple of magno balls even though the toy version of it was quite bba i'm being told uh like the toy version of it was quite good right but you know you could have a remote control one maybe And you can't have a remote control R2-D2.

00:08:03.000 Too difficult.

00:08:04.000 Because he's just gonna have wheels underneath him, he's not gonna be able to go anywhere.

00:08:07.000 C-3PO, there's a lot of tension between those guys.

00:08:10.000 Anyhow, like, what I will say is this guy is just an advance on that.

00:08:14.000 And instead of helping out once in a while like R2-D2 did, conveying perhaps Princess Leia's ransom message, saying that, you know, Luke's her only hope, what's this guy doing?

00:08:22.000 Just sucking information out of your eye hole with his mind? 0.99

00:08:25.000 Disgusting. 1.00

00:08:25.000 But in exchange you do get $50. 1.00

00:08:28.000 Like, if someone says, can I suck information out of your eye hole for $50, you know what you've become?

00:08:32.000 You've gone on the game. 0.99

00:08:33.000 You've inadvertently brassed yourself.

00:08:36.000 You've brassed yourself off out the eye hole.

00:08:38.000 And for what?

00:08:39.000 Because of that lad who's called Sam Altman or whatever.

00:08:41.000 These new billionaires that we're all having to get used to.

00:08:44.000 That's right.

00:08:44.000 Like, he's really important now.

00:08:46.000 Like, billionaires, they used to just be, like, in a top hat, maybe in a Monopoly box, not causing too much trouble.

00:08:51.000 Now they want to tell you everything they think, don't they?

00:08:53.000 Why don't you go and live on Mars?

00:08:54.000 Oh, this is the way to solve all the problems.

00:08:56.000 Why don't you reorganise agriculture?

00:08:58.000 Yeah, well, I mean, if Elon Musk is to believe, trapped GPT and open AI is going to eliminate a section of society when it comes to jobs.

00:09:05.000 And now, the other, his other new invention, this, you know, whatever you're going to call it, this orb is going to give all your information to the government.

00:09:14.000 So, it doesn't seem like all that positive.

00:09:16.000 To undermine it, I'm going to call it Roy Orbison, and I'm going to demand that it joins the band Travelling Wilbur East.

00:09:23.000 Late career Roy Orbison.

00:09:25.000 Let's see what else it's offering, this new chrome eye sucker.

00:09:28.000 growing world of artificial intelligence It's called the world coin orb and it's the latest passion

00:09:35.000 project by the founder of chat GPT Why you think it's funny that today's passion passion for

00:09:41.000 giving away your day?

00:09:42.000 I'm really passionate about sucking information out of people's eyes giving it to the government and then we're in

00:09:47.000 charge kind of Yes, it's a world of authenticity that works like this

00:09:53.000 Start it's a world of authenticity authenticity. Yes.

00:09:57.000 That's not the news.

00:09:58.000 It's a world of authenticity.

00:10:00.000 It's not.

00:10:00.000 It's a chrome ball sucking information out of your eye hole, giving it to the government and giving you 50 space bucks in exchange, but now it's tracking you and it'll be able to switch off your bank account down the line.

00:10:11.000 There couldn't be anything less authentic than what your relationship with the government is meant to be, other than a giant metallic orb that sucks all your data out of it and gives it to them.

00:10:22.000 When I think of authenticity, immediately one thing comes to mind.

00:10:26.000 It's not sovereignty, it's not personal freedom, it's not communities rising up together to support one another in harmony with nature.

00:10:33.000 It's this miracle sucking information out from under your eyebrow.

00:10:42.000 Cheeky theme tune it's got, like it's Mario Brothers.

00:10:45.000 Or right on the app.

00:10:47.000 What this commercial fails to mention is the biometric data that is then collected in exchange for a... Yeah, also we'll be taking your biometric data.

00:10:57.000 I didn't forget!

00:10:57.000 We're getting that.

00:10:59.000 That was a deliberate omission.

00:11:02.000 Should we include the bit where we steal all their data?

00:11:04.000 Well, that actually undermines the entire project.

00:11:07.000 No, you're right.

00:11:07.000 And I'm passionate about this project!

00:11:09.000 Passion!

00:11:10.000 Digital ID.

00:11:13.000 Some of those orbs found in Nairobi, Kenya, where authorities are now scrambling to suspend operations, saying there are too many unknowns.

00:11:24.000 Too many unknowns!

00:11:25.000 They're scrambling!

00:11:27.000 This is extraordinary because if you think of the grammar of news that people that grew up in the 80s are used to, like these are sort of stories of philanthropy in the continent of Africa, measures undertaken to apparently intervene benignly in civil wars or to help in famines.

00:11:43.000 Now, data People in Kenya queuing up to receive food tokens, tokens at any rate, in exchange for their data so that this scheme can be piloted so they can bring it to apparently more, you know, apparently more, I don't want to say evolved, but technologically advanced, I suppose appropriate term, societies.

00:12:04.000 They're piloting this so they can do it to all of us.

00:12:06.000 Absolutely right.

00:12:07.000 And we all know about Facebook in terms of the colonization of the internet over there.

00:12:11.000 You know, Facebook made sure that all the phones in huge portions of Africa... And Malaysia, I think, as well.

00:12:17.000 We do a lot of research.

00:12:19.000 A lot.

00:12:19.000 ...were fitted with... Facebook was your access to the web, to the internet, and it's a new form of colonization, isn't it?

00:12:25.000 It's so weird, the sort of bargains we're having to make with technology now.

00:12:28.000 If you want to go on the internet, you have to sign up for Facebook.

00:12:31.000 If you want to eat some food, you need to let this little R2-D2... 1.00

00:12:35.000 suck data out of your eye hole. 0.91

00:12:37.000 Last week, more than 350,000 Kenyans have already gotten their eyes scanned here. 0.94

00:12:43.000 It doesn't look right because they initially chose a shot of some Kenyan folk looking quite upbeat. 0.64

00:12:49.000 You know, like, oh, this is good, we're near the front.

00:12:51.000 Now, though, the Kenyan people, some look a little bit more dispirited, 1.00

00:12:55.000 like they're queuing up for like a One Direction concert.

00:12:57.000 You have to stay out in the rain for ages to be the first in line to get an iPhone 13.

00:13:02.000 But really, this is the, I would say, an exploitative measure,

00:13:06.000 where people that to some degree are desperate and willing to queue up

00:13:08.000 to queue up are having their data stolen and experimented with so they

00:13:09.000 are having their data stolen and experimented with so they can iron out.

00:13:12.000 can iron out.

00:13:13.000 How do we, what are our comms around this?

00:13:13.000 What are our comms around this? How do we say this isn't an invasion into your privacy?

00:13:15.000 How do we say this isn't an invasion into your privacy?

00:13:17.000 Yeah, I mean, when we talk about dystopia, you look at the, you know, Hollywood movies

00:13:21.000 and where it's like, they literally create two-tier societies where you've got one

00:13:25.000 race or portion of the human race that has access to certain things and one that,

00:13:31.000 you know, is living it up and that's what we're moving towards, isn't it?

00:13:34.000 Yeah, it seems like it. Like, Alfon, do you notice this, guys? You're watching the news

00:13:38.000 and you can see the building blocks of dystopia. You can feel your passage. You can feel that

00:13:42.000 you're being midwifed into dystopia now. They have to make it sound sort of cordial and friendly.

00:13:48.000 This is fantastic!

00:13:49.000 But ultimately, it's hell, isn't it?

00:13:52.000 Hey, listen, if you're watching this on YouTube, we're going to depart now because there's yet more dystopic revelations to convey, this time concerning your precipitations and your foresight around the Covid lockdowns.

00:14:05.000 The Scottish of all people, those pioneers in the world of finance, caber tossing, haggis and golf, have finally revealed to us that lockdowns may have been... Allegedly!

00:14:18.000 Not everything that was claimed.

00:14:27.000 You get first access to important interviews like the conversation that we had with Jordan Peterson yesterday.

00:14:32.000 It got very heavy with me and JP, Gal.

00:14:34.000 Well, of course it did.

00:14:35.000 Because there was one bit where what he said is that sex itself evolved, i.e.

00:14:39.000 the... No, how did it get on to sex?

00:14:41.000 I thought we were meant to be talking about politics. 0.75

00:14:42.000 I'll tell you how, because straight away he came on and I went, swiss woo.

00:14:46.000 Looking good, JP.

00:14:48.000 And he sort of, he was wearing a leather harlequin suit.

00:14:50.000 I see.

00:14:50.000 And a wooden tie.

00:14:52.000 And I made... Wooden?

00:14:53.000 Yeah, a wooden tie, Gail.

00:14:55.000 You got a problem with that?

00:14:56.000 What?

00:14:57.000 He got a wooden tie, a tie made out of wood, and that enabled me to make some pretty good Pinocchio jokes.

00:15:02.000 Oh, I see.

00:15:03.000 Because you know that he talks about Pinocchio.

00:15:04.000 Right.

00:15:05.000 Course he does.

00:15:06.000 What, you're not surprised by that?

00:15:07.000 No, not remotely.

00:15:07.000 What, you're not even going to comment on that he talks about Pinocchio?

00:15:10.000 What's his theory on Pinocchio?

00:15:11.000 Pinocchio?

00:15:12.000 Whoop!

00:15:14.000 You know, Pinocchio.

00:15:17.000 Now, the Pinocchio is a classic archetypal tale, isn't it?

00:15:20.000 Plucky little lad, books on his back, apple for the teacher, sees a cat and a fox on his way to school.

00:15:20.000 Oh yeah.

00:15:25.000 Wait a minute, he's joined a marionette band of theatrical pirates.

00:15:30.000 All of a sudden, he's living an illusory life.

00:15:32.000 In order to become real, you have to suffer.

00:15:35.000 In order to rescue the father from the belly of the beast, the father, the man that you will become when you liberate yourself from the artificial puppet person that you initially are, you have to wrestle with the beast down in depth, same as Jonah.

00:15:47.000 Anyway... Sounds a lot like the plot to my bookie book.

00:15:51.000 Available now.

00:15:54.000 Plucky little lad, he followed a cat, well it's a sort of a word for cat, and he got way off track as a result of that.

00:16:03.000 There was lots of that going on.

00:16:06.000 Hey diddly dee, an actor's life for me!

00:16:10.000 Those were the days, simpler times in a way.

00:16:12.000 So obviously me and JP started flirting and one of the things that got said was that sex itself was not, like the procreation prior to sex was done by sort of, I don't know, like amoeba or something splitting up or that there are some kind of lizards that can procreate.

00:16:29.000 I'm glad you got into the science of it.

00:16:30.000 Amoeba summit!

00:16:32.000 Hey Sam Coyle, you know, er, J.P., there's these lizards, pfft, and amoebas and that,

00:16:37.000 they don't need to get one. Gorgeous! Hey J.P., lizards and that, they don't need to get one,

00:16:44.000 are we? Oh, I don't know, Russell, you're oversimplifying.

00:16:48.000 Anyway, he said that sex itself evolved to introduce new complexity into evolution

00:16:55.000 so that parasites couldn't continue to evolve alongside the species that were hosting them,

00:17:01.000 exploiting them.

00:17:02.000 I then back-referenced that when he said that identity politics was too dependent on sex and sexuality, that that's not the most important aspect of your identity, and why would you bolt your identity onto that?

00:17:13.000 And I goes, though, hold on, mate.

00:17:15.000 You said that sex was a well-significant thing earlier.

00:17:19.000 So I win that round.

00:17:20.000 Oh, I used it against him.

00:17:21.000 I used his own words against him.

00:17:24.000 Later, I used his own wooden tie against him as a sort of baton in a light-hearted, Swiss-themed war.

00:17:30.000 Nice.

00:17:31.000 Nice stuff.

00:17:32.000 But your chats, although, as you say, you used it against him, I think they're really passionate conversations between you two.

00:17:37.000 You've got a nice relationship.

00:17:37.000 They're good, aren't they?

00:17:38.000 You know, when I'm doing that, I hurt myself.

00:17:40.000 That's how fragile I am.

00:17:40.000 Oh dear.

00:17:42.000 Oh no.

00:17:44.000 I'm that fragile.

00:17:44.000 Listen, we are only on Rumble, right?

00:17:46.000 So, hey, listen, you know, remember Covid lockdowns when you were all locked down in your house and sometimes you might find yourself doing what you were told and that, and you don't like being told what to do and then actually doing it.

00:17:57.000 Like, you should think, if someone tells you what to do, just don't do it.

00:17:59.000 Right.

00:18:00.000 Try that.

00:18:01.000 We're a context where you shouldn't do that.

00:18:03.000 Work.

00:18:04.000 Yeah, well, probably certain instances, aren't there?

00:18:07.000 I'm not going to do that.

00:18:08.000 I mean, you told all your kids at school, all the kids out of school, not your kids.

00:18:13.000 Actually, some of them were your kids.

00:18:14.000 A couple of them were.

00:18:15.000 They'd already walked out.

00:18:16.000 Disobey.

00:18:17.000 Disobey rules.

00:18:18.000 Where are you going?

00:18:19.000 I'm disobeying your rule.

00:18:20.000 Well done.

00:18:21.000 So like, yeah, I do encourage the disobedience because I believe in personal freedom and autonomy and I'm suspicious of many rules and much of the kind of authority that we're supposed to obey these days and it turns out I'm right to do that because there was no evidence to support Covid lockdowns in Scotland during the pandemic.

00:18:43.000 There's a new report that's in the Scottish Express which is what they have instead of newspapers up there.

00:18:47.000 Now, that's just a joke.

00:18:49.000 English, Scottish stuff.

00:18:50.000 And also what they've been saying is that vaccines may not have been of any use at all when it came to sweet lady Covid.

00:18:58.000 Am I right in saying that, Gal?

00:18:59.000 Yeah, I mean, you are.

00:19:00.000 Yeah.

00:19:00.000 So this was, apparently, there's a Covid inquiry going on in Scotland at the moment and some of the findings are that there was insufficient or no evidence to suggest lockdown, social distancing or face masks.

00:19:12.000 That's all of it?

00:19:13.000 That's the whole thing?

00:19:14.000 Yeah.

00:19:15.000 There's nothing else left?

00:19:16.000 No, and obviously... What's next?

00:19:17.000 Them nurses' Instagrams? 1.00

00:19:19.000 Oh, them nurse TikTok videos also were stupid. 1.00

00:19:22.000 But I mean, that's the whole of... Masks, social distancing, vaccine, lockdown... Rainbows? 1.00

00:19:27.000 Rainbows.

00:19:28.000 Those rainbows may have carried HIV.

00:19:31.000 I mean, what, like, what's next?

00:19:34.000 You don't like that joke?

00:19:35.000 No, no, I'm fine with that.

00:19:36.000 I was kind of... I guess the advance of this is because we've heard... You just said, mm.

00:19:40.000 It's a closed mouth sound.

00:19:42.000 Sorry, I'm sorry.

00:19:43.000 Didn't even do a polite laugh.

00:19:48.000 That's a bit better.

00:19:49.000 I'll take that.

00:19:50.000 No, I might be there. No, that'll do.

00:19:50.000 I'm happy with that.

00:19:52.000 But we've, you know, we've reported on, I think the Telegraph has written about how

00:19:56.000 lockdowns in the UK have been shown to be ineffective, but this takes it one step further

00:20:02.000 into talking about vaccines themselves. So Dr Ashley Croft, consultant public health physician

00:20:07.000 and medical epidemiologist, so he's part of this COVID inquiry. 0.99

00:20:10.000 How do you know he's a man, you sexist pig? 0.99

00:20:12.000 I actually don't. So thanks for picking me up on that. 0.99

00:20:15.000 No further questions.

00:20:18.000 On vaccines, he said it remains unclear as to whether or not COVID-19 vaccination has resulted

00:20:23.000 in fewer deaths from COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines have been shown in randomised controlled trials

00:20:28.000 to be effective or probably effective in reducing the number of people acquiring COVID.

00:20:32.000 However, vaccine-induced protection against COVID is short-lived.

00:20:35.000 Gal, what about that woman on the Congress there? 0.96

00:20:38.000 She was called something like Waverly Wexleyford.

00:20:41.000 Yeah.

00:20:41.000 What was she called, that?

00:20:42.000 And she said, oh, but the first one, it was good for the first one.

00:20:46.000 Oh, right.

00:20:47.000 You mean Walensky?

00:20:47.000 Oh, yes.

00:20:48.000 Walensky.

00:20:49.000 Waverly Wexleyford.

00:20:50.000 Walensky.

00:20:51.000 She said, like, oh, the thing was with the vaccines, they were very good for the first round of Covid, but they, yeah, they ran out of puff.

00:20:59.000 she essentially said that they were basically they were getting out they were 100 effective but we know that there are emails between her involving uh and the cdc saying oh no they're not saying we know breakthrough cases i.e we know that people who have had the vaccination are still getting covered We did a great presentation on that.

00:21:17.000 That's available.

00:21:18.000 You can look at that at Rumble right now.

00:21:19.000 Very funny video.

00:21:20.000 You'll love it.

00:21:20.000 Also, what about when Albert Baller, wish he was a bit taller, CEO of Pfizer, when he was on the news getting noshed off by a panel of women, sort of all going, oh, you've done so well with this vaccine.

00:21:33.000 He goes, now you were hoping it might be 80% effective, but how effective was it?

00:21:38.000 And he goes, I think it was 96% effective.

00:21:39.000 Well, what percent is it now?

00:21:41.000 No percent.

00:21:44.000 No percent effective?

00:21:46.000 No, I think, look, I think with all these... You might as well have done nothing.

00:21:49.000 I don't think that's like strictly, strictly true because I think a lot of people obviously say that for certain age groups the vaccines at certain times are extremely effective and continue to be so.

00:21:58.000 You know what?

00:21:59.000 I've got an idea.

00:22:01.000 so much? Why don't you marry it? Let's see if we can get it in here. No, hold on, hold on. Yeah,

00:22:05.000 can we get the vaccines here because Gareth wants to marry it. Yeah, I'm just saying that what is 0.96

00:22:10.000 being uncovered is that now we know that, you know, we're showing how effective that they were

00:22:16.000 at the time, but the knowledge, as you said, about Rochelle Wensky at the time also was that they

00:22:20.000 knew these breakthrough cases of Covid for people with the vaccines, you know, were occurring. So

00:22:26.000 that is what comes down to what should what they should be transparent about. We now know it wasn't

00:22:31.000 clinically trialled for transmission. We now know that the lockdown measures were not scientific,

00:22:36.000 according to Chris Witty. We know that the social distancing laws were arbitrary, according to

00:22:40.000 testimony out of your country, the United States of America, and now the Scottish of all people,

00:22:46.000 a nation of folk that would deep fry their own sexual parts if they thought there might be a 0.99

00:22:51.000 calorie in it, have been forced to come up with the hard fact to swallow that vaccines possibly 0.99

00:22:59.000 did next to nothing or fuck all, as they would doubtlessly say. 0.97

00:23:04.000 Time now for yet more truth. 0.99

00:23:06.000 Could the recent UFO testimony being entertained by Congress Is there a problem, sir?

00:23:12.000 No, no.

00:23:12.000 Absolutely not.

00:23:13.000 Is there a problem?

00:23:13.000 Is there something wrong?

00:23:14.000 I think either will do.

00:23:15.000 Would you loosen your bra strap?

00:23:17.000 Could the recent UFO testimony being entertained by Congress have anything to do with increased military spending?

00:23:22.000 You told us that you were suspicious and cynical about these UFO findings.

00:23:27.000 We've had Jeffrey Korbel, sorry, he's my friend, Jeremy Korbel, we've had him on here numerous times, revealing, and we've had old David Grush.

00:23:34.000 We've not had him on yet, have we?

00:23:35.000 No, we haven't had Grush on yet.

00:23:37.000 I'd love Grush.

00:23:37.000 We'll get him on.

00:23:38.000 Yeah, look, I think these whistleblowers are great.

00:23:39.000 You like them?

00:23:40.000 I think the things that they're revealing are great.

00:23:42.000 It's just, as we talk about, it's how this is being used.

00:23:44.000 Is it being used to increase military spending?

00:23:48.000 It seems, possibly, that you were right.

00:23:52.000 That they are using UFO testimony to increase military spending.

00:23:57.000 I can't believe you guys keep being right.

00:23:59.000 Here's the news.

00:24:00.000 No, here's the effing news.

00:24:02.000 Thanks for watching ZipFox's News Video. 0.99

00:24:04.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:24:06.000 You were right! 1.00

00:24:08.000 You were right!

00:24:09.000 UFOs, even if they are real, will be used to create massive military budgets and huge distractions.

00:24:16.000 What a surprise!

00:24:19.000 We're of course looking at the UFO hearings, we're examining whether or not there are non-human entities among us, whether or not there are recovered extraterrestrial spacecraft, and why, as usual, you were right that this is being used to generate extra military expenditure without ever really acknowledging the deep reality suggested by these whistleblowers revelations.

00:24:39.000 Let's have a look at the story.

00:24:41.000 Starting off with this tweet from the Empire Files, hmm, wonder if all the UFO stuff suddenly being entertained by Washington has anything to do with this.

00:24:48.000 US Space Force budget hits 30 billion dollars in 2024 proposal.

00:24:53.000 That sounds like the government to try and use a cultural or public phenomena to generate more revenue for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.

00:24:59.000 There are extra and they come here in peace. 0.99

00:25:03.000 That's why we've asked Lockheed Martin to build these new deadly fucking things. 0.98

00:25:08.000 President Biden's $842 billion budget request for the Defense Department for fiscal year 2024 0.98

00:25:14.000 includes $30 billion for the US Space Force, the largest funding request to date

00:25:19.000 for the military space branch.

00:25:20.000 How like the governments of our time to take the ontological miracle

00:25:26.000 that there are advanced intergalactic species communicating with us,

00:25:29.000 some of you believe that, some of you don't, and turn it into additional expenditure for military

00:25:34.000 private contractors.

00:25:36.000 This is a sort of miracle akin to the kind of revelations that you would read in scripture.

00:25:40.000 There are pervasive intercosmic consciousnesses communicating with us.

00:25:45.000 Potentially this has been happening throughout civilization.

00:25:48.000 Maybe the reason there are gaps in our observable evolution is because for a long time we've been communing with advanced species that perhaps have We've even been involved in our advancing civilization.

00:26:00.000 Perhaps some of the phenomena we discuss in scripture, religion, in temples and synagogues around the world relates to these heavenly beings, these orbs in the sky, these chariots of fire. 0.99

00:26:10.000 So, I've spoken to Raytheon, and we're gonna blow those motherfuckers right out of the sky.

00:26:14.000 The proposed budget procures and modernizes capabilities to secure the use of space in the face of increasing threats to US national security space systems, the Pentagon said in budget document. 0.97

00:26:25.000 So while this is a very novel story, I mean for someone my age it's almost ridiculous that in public there are congressional hearings in those rooms that we're familiar with now from like McCarthyism and mob hearings where people are discussing people from outer space.

00:26:40.000 We're going to need more money.

00:26:42.000 And also identifiable and peculiar, yet oh-so-typical, is fear.

00:26:47.000 This is frightening.

00:26:48.000 This is a threat.

00:26:49.000 There are advanced extraterrestrial beings.

00:26:51.000 Because another interpretation could be, well, what the hell are we having a war between Ukraine and Russia for if there are extraterrestrial beings?

00:26:57.000 They could be a threat.

00:26:58.000 They could be friendly.

00:26:59.000 We don't know yet.

00:27:00.000 One thing's for certain, we all live on one rock in limitless space.

00:27:04.000 We should be turning our attention and our combined efforts to finding ways to live peacefully.

00:27:09.000 How can that ever be possible?

00:27:10.000 Clearly a massive and defining culture like American culture is falling apart right now.

00:27:15.000 There's no reason to have centralised systems in the way that we do.

00:27:19.000 What we perhaps could advance are new ways of living, new ways of worshipping together, new ways of affording one another the maximum amount of freedom in the face of the revelation that here in the universe We are not alone that the infringements and fractures between us don't amount to a great deal when you consider that there are presumably powerful civilizations that could wipe us out like that.

00:27:39.000 Let's get on with the business of using diplomacy and peacemaking as the modalities of our time.

00:27:45.000 No, instead of that, let's prepare for more war against people with big eyes and grey faces. 1.00

00:27:50.000 I hate those grey-faced bastards flying around like that. 1.00

00:27:53.000 Ignore the rules of gravity, would you? 1.00

00:27:55.000 You son of a bitch! 1.00

00:27:57.000 So with all these UFO whistleblowers, some of them from pretty respected positions within the deep state, how have the Pentagon reacted? 1.00

00:28:03.000 What's their re-evaluation of the new reality that we find ourselves living in?

00:28:07.000 The head of the Pentagon's UFO office has slammed last week's shocking congressional hearing in which three whistleblowers claimed they had first-hand encounters or knowledge about secret government programs involving technology that is non-human.

00:28:19.000 Firstly, why have you even got a UFO office if you don't think there's such a thing as UFOs?

00:28:23.000 What are you doing in that UFO office?

00:28:24.000 Nothing.

00:28:25.000 There's nothing to do in there because UFOs are not real.

00:28:27.000 We just sit in there and we do nothing all day long except not auditing our massive expenditure on wars.

00:28:33.000 We sit in there with calculators doing nothing.

00:28:36.000 I actually was able to write boobless.

00:28:37.000 Look!

00:28:38.000 Why have a UFO office if you don't think there are such things as UFOs?

00:28:42.000 How could there be non-human technology?

00:28:44.000 All day long in the UFO office, we laugh and laugh about the ridiculousness of that.

00:28:49.000 Next door in the crocodile office, they're astonished about events in Florida where people claim there are weird, big, jagged-toothed lizard things biting people on the toes. 1.00

00:28:58.000 What a lot of bullshit. 0.99

00:29:00.000 Sean Kilpatrick issued a statement Friday denying some of the witnesses' claims. 0.99

00:29:04.000 David Grush, a former top intelligence official, testified that in his role liaising with Kilpatrick's office on UFOs, he discovered the government was keeping crashed non-human spacecraft secret from the public and illegally from Congress.

00:29:17.000 So how is this being used now?

00:29:19.000 As a distraction from criminality within government, from ludicrous jumped up charges and bizarre hearings, from FBI deep state corruption.

00:29:27.000 Perhaps it's being used in all of these ways.

00:29:29.000 But one thing that the Pentagon are not doing is admitting that it's plausible and true.

00:29:34.000 So remember those of you that sort of just automatically, if they say UFOs are real, UFOs are not real.

00:29:39.000 Remember, it could be a bit more complex than that.

00:29:40.000 But in his statement, Kilpatrick called the testimony insulting.

00:29:45.000 I'm insulted by that.

00:29:46.000 Here in the UFO office, we don't hear any crazy talk about UFOs.

00:29:50.000 When I shut that door of my UFO office, I don't hear about aliens or spacemen or spacecraft.

00:29:55.000 We sit in there and we talk about stuff that only happens here on Earth.

00:29:59.000 I'm insulted by that.

00:29:59.000 That's it.

00:30:00.000 Hey, what do you think all these spaceships are that we've got around here and these gravity-defying machines and this alien corpse?

00:30:06.000 And what's David Gross talking about?

00:30:08.000 Ah!

00:30:09.000 Ah!

00:30:09.000 I don't hear it!

00:30:10.000 Shut the UFO office door! 0.95

00:30:12.000 And I don't want to hear a word out of you, E.T.

00:30:14.000 or you, Alf. 0.98

00:30:15.000 And Chewbacca, shut your mouth. 0.99

00:30:17.000 I don't want to hear it! 0.82

00:30:19.000 Better late than never.

00:30:20.000 And claims Grush was never a representative to his unit, officially called the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.

00:30:27.000 Any anomalies or resolutions in that office?

00:30:30.000 Grush never fitted in here at the UFO department.

00:30:32.000 He kept going on about lights in the sky and space people and stuff. 0.99

00:30:37.000 Getting on my fucking nerves! 0.97

00:30:38.000 I can't just disavow David Grush just because he says there's UFOs in the UFO office. 0.99

00:30:44.000 The claims directly contradict Grushy's previous description of his government roles, vetted by both the House Oversight Committee and media, that he served as the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency lead on UFOs reporting to AARO until April this year.

00:30:58.000 Kilpatrick, who claims that at the UFO office they never talk about UFOs and don't acknowledge UFOs, is also lying about Grushy's role, saying he was nothing to do with it.

00:31:06.000 Because the oversight committee have already vetted the claims and found them to be plausible, reasonable and true and that the matter should be addressed with some urgency.

00:31:13.000 Kilpatrick's talking about David Grush like he was an ex-girlfriend.

00:31:16.000 I never liked David Grush.

00:31:17.000 He was bad in bed. 0.84

00:31:18.000 He was lazy.

00:31:19.000 He always left stuff on his side on the floor.

00:31:22.000 He never cleared up.

00:31:23.000 I never said you could keep a toothbrush in there. 0.99

00:31:25.000 I hate you, Grush. 1.00

00:31:26.000 And I've never loved you. 0.99

00:31:27.000 Kilpatrick in a personal statement.

00:31:29.000 Yeah, all his statements are personal.

00:31:30.000 He's living on mad giddy emotion.

00:31:32.000 Reportedly posted on his LinkedIn page.

00:31:36.000 On his LinkedIn page.

00:31:37.000 Newly single.

00:31:38.000 Single!

00:31:38.000 And you better believe I'm ready to mingle, David Grush!

00:31:41.000 Although not with UFOs, because they ain't real.

00:31:43.000 In a personal statement on his LinkedIn page, slammed the hearing, saying he was deeply disappointed at the denigration of civil and defence staff. 0.89

00:31:50.000 He's an emotional lunatic, Kilpatrick, isn't he?

00:31:53.000 You never even worked here, David Grush! 0.98

00:31:55.000 And UFOs are definitely not real!

00:31:58.000 Now get this lightsaber out of here! 0.86

00:32:00.000 I cannot let yesterday's hearing pass without sharing how insulting it was to the officers of the Department of Defence and Intelligence Community, he wrote.

00:32:07.000 Guys running on pure emotion, working in the UFO office, denying the existence of UFOs and treating former employees like they're lovers that jilted him at the altar.

00:32:17.000 Among Grushy's eye-popping claims at Wednesday's hearing were suggestions the government may have been involved in murder while covering up its alleged UFO secrets.

00:32:25.000 So it's quite serious stuff being alleged here.

00:32:27.000 Grush told lawmakers that he was scared for his own life after becoming a whistleblower.

00:32:31.000 Well, we all know that whistleblowers are generally treated with a good deal of respect and don't end up regularly homeless and vilified in the mainstream media.

00:32:41.000 Let's have a look at some of those congressional hearings.

00:32:42.000 We begin with that historic UFO hearing on Capitol Hill today, as we just said, the bipartisan push for transparency.

00:32:48.000 Oh, bipartisan!

00:32:49.000 That's good news.

00:32:50.000 Everyone can just get along and buy each other a Coca-Cola.

00:32:54.000 Whenever both parties come together, it means only one thing.

00:32:56.000 We're all agreed that we want more money.

00:32:58.000 It's always that.

00:32:59.000 What are these unidentified objects?

00:33:01.000 Where did they come from?

00:33:03.000 And are we alone?

00:33:04.000 I think what you've not understood there is the word unidentified.

00:33:07.000 Take a listen.

00:33:08.000 Here are some of the key highlights from that hearing.

00:33:10.000 I was informed... Yeah, Jeremy Corbell!

00:33:12.000 Shout out!

00:33:13.000 ...in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program.

00:33:21.000 There, uh, the controller told us that these objects, uh, had been observed for over two weeks, coming down from over 80,000 feet, rapidly descending to 20,000 feet, hanging out for hours, and then going straight back up.

00:33:32.000 For those who don't realize, above 80,000 feet is space.

00:33:36.000 Tick-tack was far beyond current tech.

00:33:37.000 Oh, they don't mean ordinary tick-tacks.

00:33:39.000 My God!

00:33:40.000 It's sweet, it's sour, there's so many of them in here!

00:33:42.000 This is blowing my mind!

00:33:43.000 What's that in the sky?

00:33:44.000 Nothing!

00:33:45.000 Get out of my UFO office!

00:33:46.000 How dare you even point up there!

00:33:48.000 These are delicious, though.

00:33:52.000 Obviously something extraordinary is going on and has been going on for some time.

00:33:55.000 That's what I believe.

00:33:55.000 in a controller called merge plot, which means that our radar blip was now in the same resolution

00:33:59.000 cell as the contact.

00:34:00.000 Obviously, something extraordinary is going on and has been going on for some time. That's

00:34:05.000 what I believe. And we shouldn't perhaps be surprised that how this phenomena is being

00:34:09.000 reduced is the same way every miracle of technology and revelation is.

00:34:13.000 Wow, the internet.

00:34:14.000 We can all talk to each other from across the world.

00:34:16.000 That means we could organize new communities.

00:34:18.000 We could find people that we have common interests with.

00:34:20.000 Why, we could set about projects to save the world together.

00:34:23.000 It doesn't matter how unusual or strange you are, you'll be able to talk to someone who knows exactly how you feel.

00:34:27.000 We could do that. 0.95

00:34:28.000 Or also, we could spy on everyone, say everyone's a bastard and make everyone fight all the time, and create a climate of hatred, surveillance, and censorship. 0.96

00:34:38.000 Oh, yeah, that's also possible, I suppose.

00:34:39.000 So we should be surprised that the UFO phenomena, like there's lights in the sky, there's dizzying technology, this means that our interpretation of what God is, what profits are, what life, biology, chemistry, the most rudimentary understanding of the universe has to be re-evaluated, which we already know from quantum physics, all of the things that we consider to be static amounts a little more than local.

00:34:58.000 local customs in our particular dimension on our particular plane of reality. This is

00:35:02.000 just obviously evidence of that. Instead of recognising that what we have here is an opportunity

00:35:06.000 to re-evaluate our philosophy and our approach to life at a time when it's bloody needed

00:35:09.000 because there's wars and fracture all over the place.

00:35:12.000 Instead it's just like, can we use this to keep our existing system going and in fact yet

00:35:16.000 more profitable for the very people and institutions that have proven to be utterly

00:35:20.000 corrupt. Yeah, I suppose we could say that these intergalactic beings are kinda like Putins. 0.98

00:35:25.000 Space Putins. 1.00

00:35:26.000 And that we should kill those bastards before they cancer shit all over our civilization! 1.00

00:35:32.000 I like it. 1.00

00:35:32.000 All four of us, because we were in F-18Fs, so we had pilots and Wizzo in the back seat, looked down a small, saw a white tic-tac object with a longitudinal axis pointing north-south and moving very abruptly over the water like a ping-pong ball. 1.00

00:35:45.000 Stop using stupid figs. 1.00

00:35:47.000 Tic-tac, ping-pong. 1.00

00:35:48.000 It's like a ding-dong, a tic-tac.

00:35:49.000 Use sensible space words.

00:35:51.000 As we started clockwise towards the object, my wizard and I decided to go down and take a closer look at the other aircraft staying in high cover to observe both us and the TIC-TAC.

00:35:58.000 We proceeded around the circle about 90 degrees from the start of our descent, and the object suddenly shifted its longitudinal axis, aligned it with my aircraft, and began to climb.

00:36:09.000 We consumed 270 degrees, and we went nose low to where the TIC-TAC would have been.

00:36:15.000 Our altitude at this point was about 15,000 feet, and the TIC-TAC was about 12,000.

00:36:18.000 You're saying tic-tac too much.

00:36:19.000 You're going to have to think of another word for it because you're ruining the whole hearing.

00:36:22.000 Okay, one way we could undermine this intergalactic technologically advanced species is by referring to their vehicles after Swedes. 0.94

00:36:30.000 One of them was a little bit like a tic-tac, another one was a little bit like a jim-jam.

00:36:33.000 They were like sort of Cheetos in the sky.

00:36:36.000 They smelled very vaguely of cheese.

00:36:37.000 When we touched them, you got orange dust on your hands.

00:36:40.000 That's why I don't trust them.

00:36:42.000 As we pulled nose onto the object within about a half mile of it, it rapidly accelerated in front of us and disappeared.

00:36:47.000 I noticed that one corner of the spacecraft contained like a fruity jelly, and you could tip it into the main one.

00:36:53.000 They had like lucky charms.

00:36:54.000 There's lots of spacecraft that was just little circles like Cheerios, but every so often there was like a pink one or a green one, and those ones were sweeter.

00:37:01.000 Our wingmen, roughly 8,000 feet above us, lost contact also.

00:37:05.000 We immediately turned back to see where the white water was at, and it was gone also.

00:37:09.000 So as you started to turn back towards the east, the controller came up and said, sir, you're not going to believe this, but that thing is at your cat point, roughly 60 miles away in less than a minute.

00:37:16.000 I bit the end off of it, and then inside it was a delicious cream, and I sucked it out of it.

00:37:21.000 It's like a Sky Twin key.

00:37:22.000 During a training mission in Warning Area Whiskey 72, 10 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, two F-18 Super Hornets were split by a UAP.

00:37:31.000 The object, described as a dark grey or black cube inside of a clear sphere, came within 50 feet of the lead aircraft.

00:37:37.000 At least he's describing things in more of a scientific way.

00:37:39.000 Cubes.

00:37:40.000 Spheres.

00:37:41.000 Geometric.

00:37:42.000 Pythagoras.

00:37:43.000 That's what we want.

00:37:43.000 Not like, it's like a bag of potato chips in there, but you could pour your own, but... They're making it like childhood nostalgia snacks.

00:37:50.000 I think I don't have to ever describe alien corpses.

00:37:53.000 There's a lot like Big Bird, Thick Lung, Yellow Feathers, and then there's one like Mr. Snuffleupagus.

00:37:57.000 Two of them, even though they were the same gender, lived together, and it made me think, you know, maybe, like, uh, that we could all just live together regardless of what sex we are.

00:38:05.000 Are you describing Sesame Street right now?

00:38:07.000 No, no, I remember them saying out the window, can you tell me how to get- No, no, no, you're sorry, that was Sesame Street.

00:38:12.000 It was estimated to be 5 to 15 feet in diameter.

00:38:16.000 The mission commander terminated the flight immediately and returned base.

00:38:19.000 Our squadron submitted a safety report, but there was no official acknowledgement of the incident and no further mechanism to report the sightings.

00:38:26.000 Soon these encounters became so frequent that aircrew would discuss the risk of UAP

00:38:30.000 as part of their regular pre-flight briefs.

00:38:32.000 Well that's pretty amazing, it just became ordinary and acceptable.

00:38:35.000 So look, I know loads of you think this is a distraction and in a way I agree with you,

00:38:39.000 and I know that those of you knew that this would be used to leverage greater budgets

00:38:44.000 and plainly you're right about that because that is what's happening.

00:38:46.000 But I also think you have to remain open to the possibility that this is real just on the ordinary basis that we are in a limitless expanse of space and we only understand reality through our own sensory instruments and the magnification of our own sensory instruments and it's entirely possible that there are entities that are interdimensionally distinct from us and these descriptions are the kind of things that were kept out of the public eye for a long time for a reason because the natural questions to start asking yourself are ontological ones about the nature of being.

00:39:13.000 Wait a minute, if we're not alone in the universe What is the veracity of all of our existing power structures?

00:39:19.000 You know what I mean?

00:39:20.000 It's pretty fundamental.

00:39:21.000 You start saying, why should we have centralised, top-down government?

00:39:24.000 Why should we have nation-states?

00:39:26.000 Everything now is open for question.

00:39:28.000 What it exposes is the capriciousness of culture.

00:39:31.000 That culture is not arbitrary, because it's evolved based on principles that are as close to universal as we might be able to conceptualise and understand.

00:39:39.000 But we should be willing to re-evaluate things that are not working.

00:39:43.000 Are there things that are not working?

00:39:44.000 Yeah, we seem to be in this sort of mad ongoing culture war.

00:39:47.000 People want to censor us and surveil us.

00:39:49.000 People have been turned against each other.

00:39:50.000 There are literal wars going on.

00:39:52.000 There are plainly elites that are cooperating at an international level with this deep state corruption.

00:39:56.000 Right, good.

00:39:57.000 We've agreed on that, haven't we?

00:39:58.000 So, is it possible that we could really change stuff?

00:40:00.000 Oh no, this is just how things have to be. 0.99

00:40:02.000 No, because there's fucking space aliens. 0.99

00:40:04.000 Everything's open now. 0.99

00:40:05.000 Or if not space aliens, refreshing, delicious, minty snacks flying around the world.

00:40:10.000 Yeah, they are delicious.

00:40:12.000 It makes you wonder, it makes you wonder if, you know, maybe I could eat an onion-y sandwich with some bologna or whatever and then straight away eat a Tic Tac after that and carry on with my day.

00:40:19.000 So many questions.

00:40:20.000 The majority of witnesses are commercial pilots at majority major airlines.

00:40:25.000 Often they are veterans with decades of flying experience.

00:40:28.000 Pilots are reporting UAP at altitudes that appear above them at 40,000 feet, potentially in low Earth orbit or in the gray zone below the Karman line.

00:40:35.000 This guy, they should have put him on first, because he's really taking all the joy out of it.

00:40:38.000 He's making it sort of boring, isn't he? 0.95

00:40:40.000 One guy makes it boring, the other one makes it ridiculous. 0.91

00:40:42.000 Like, one turns him into sort of snacks from yesteryear.

00:40:45.000 The other one makes it so mathematical, I'm sort of switching off.

00:40:48.000 Making inexplicable maneuvers like right-hand turns and retrograde orbits or J-hooks.

00:40:53.000 If everyone could see the sensor and video data I witnessed, our national conversation would change.

00:40:58.000 He makes an important point.

00:40:58.000 He's basically saying this is what you want from any witness really.

00:41:01.000 If you knew what I have seen then you would regard reality entirely differently.

00:41:05.000 What's masterful about the way this is being conceptualized, framed and contained is we're keeping it to a sort of a debate around mechanics and technology and public defense and national security when really what we've been invited to do is to push beyond our understanding of reality.

00:41:20.000 And that's obviously what's required at the most basic level.

00:41:22.000 If you want to change the world you can't go We're going to change the world, but only like this.

00:41:26.000 That's what contemporary politics offers you.

00:41:27.000 You can have this one or this one, and the undergirding remains unaltered.

00:41:31.000 What a story like this could do is invite us to go, hang on a minute, everything's different from how we thought it was, so should we start looking at how we might differently organise society?

00:41:40.000 The answer to that is, of course, yes.

00:41:42.000 I urge us to put aside stigma and address the security and safety issue this topic represents.

00:41:46.000 If UAP are foreign drones, it is an urgent national security problem.

00:41:50.000 If it is something else, it is an issue for science.

00:41:53.000 So that's an interesting conclusion.

00:41:54.000 If it's drones, it's a matter of national security.

00:41:56.000 Therefore, give us some more money.

00:41:57.000 If it's not drones, then it's a matter for science.

00:41:59.000 But beyond science, for massive philosophical and contemplative change, a new Weltanschauung,

00:42:04.000 a new look at reality, a new understanding of what the world, and obviously plainly,

00:42:09.000 universe we live in actually is.

00:42:11.000 So it's not surprising it's being framed in this way.

00:42:12.000 It's not surprising that it's being reduced to a sort of a military matter, because ultimately

00:42:18.000 this is beyond the outer reaches of control as we could understand control.

00:42:21.000 Like, this is not Russia or China, massive opponents that could potentially annihilate

00:42:26.000 even a vast country like the United States.

00:42:29.000 This is about intergalactic power.

00:42:32.000 It's by its nature beyond our conception, beyond our understanding.

00:42:35.000 But that's precisely where we need to go.

00:42:37.000 So this is of course a matter for science, but it's also a matter for philosophy.

00:42:40.000 And I mean that on an individual level.

00:42:41.000 Because what I believe in is that your individual freedom and your individual understanding is what influences the flow of world power.

00:42:47.000 Not currently with the institutions that we have and the structures that we have, but with the introduction of information like this, it invites us to view reality differently.

00:42:55.000 And you know what I'm talking about.

00:42:56.000 New individual power, new community power, a new understanding of the way that we view the most immersive and ubiquitous structures could change.

00:43:03.000 That's just what I think.

00:43:04.000 Let me know what you think in the chat.

00:43:05.000 See you in a second.

00:43:06.000 Thank you for choosing Fox News.

00:43:08.000 Thank you so much. 0.99

00:43:09.000 Here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:43:09.000 No. 0.99

00:43:11.000 I know you.

00:43:13.000 You'd like to drop those leftover pandemic pounds that you put on during the pandemic because you were sad inside because of the pandemic.

00:43:20.000 But how sick are you also of all the ads for weight loss pills and fad diets that probably don't even work anyway and might make your feet change color?

00:43:28.000 I've been there.

00:43:28.000 I've done that.

00:43:29.000 They don't work.

00:43:30.000 They're a con.

00:43:30.000 They're a trick.

00:43:31.000 It's skullduggery.

00:43:32.000 Do you know what actually works?

00:43:33.000 Eating five healthy servings of fruit and vegetables every single day.

00:43:37.000 But who among us has time to prepare that every single day?

00:43:42.000 Let's move on to Field of Greens.

00:43:43.000 Field of Greens is a science-backed formula of specific fruits and vegetables you won't find in any other product.

00:43:50.000 Proper nutrition reboots your metabolism so you can burn calories faster and lose weight a healthier way, and Field of Greens is the only brand backed by a better health promise.

00:43:59.000 Yes, you'll look and feel healthier fast, but the greater proof comes at your next check-up when the doctor goes, Keep it up!

00:44:07.000 Okay, let's get you started with 15% off your first order.

00:44:11.000 Visit BrickHouseRussell.com, promo code brand.

00:44:15.000 That's BrickHouseRussell.com, promo code brand.

00:44:18.000 And now, let's go back to that deep, intelligent piece of media critique analysis that you were just watching.

00:44:26.000 A world where even the glorious potential that life on other planets can be used to create opportunity for warmongering.

00:44:36.000 What a world we live in. 0.83

00:44:38.000 What a corrupt and despicable world.

00:44:41.000 Football's not like that.

00:44:43.000 Football is nice. Hello and welcome to football is nice with Russell Brand and Gareth Roy.

00:44:55.000 We've got Mark Goldbridge on the show a little bit later, host of the Manchester United YouTube channel, The United Stand.

00:45:02.000 We're going to be looking at him becoming increasingly enraged as Manchester United fail to materialise, nearly materialise, dematerialise.

00:45:10.000 They're an ontological entity that are even beyond Physics at times.

00:45:14.000 This is Premier League Eve.

00:45:16.000 We stand on the precipice of a new season.

00:45:19.000 New dramas will unfold.

00:45:21.000 New heroes will be minted.

00:45:23.000 New villains forged.

00:45:25.000 Will it be VAR that defines this season?

00:45:28.000 Or will it be the 100-minute game?

00:45:31.000 Is that the scandal that we have yet to taste on, in my case, my sweet velvety lips?

00:45:36.000 And in the case of Gareth Roy, it's a no.

00:45:38.000 Actually, they're quite nice lips as well.

00:45:40.000 Never really looked at them before.

00:45:41.000 Thanks for joining us, Gareth, for this part of your job.

00:45:44.000 Thank you so much, Russell.

00:45:45.000 It's nice for you to be here.

00:45:46.000 What do you think about 100-minute games?

00:45:49.000 Yeah, is this a new talking point?

00:45:50.000 Will they have sorted out the handball rule will be the other one, right?

00:45:53.000 You know, they're always talking about the handball rule now.

00:45:55.000 It's a bit like the Donald Trump case.

00:45:57.000 Did you know that you were going to touch that ball with your hand?

00:46:01.000 Is that a natural position for your mind to be in?

00:46:05.000 Is that what it is?

00:46:05.000 Has it changed?

00:46:06.000 I don't know but you know there's a lot of talk of it last season and pundits kind of saying they'll sort it out next season.

00:46:12.000 They'll have to, they'll have to.

00:46:14.000 Like, they do have to be, you're meant to do that with your hand.

00:46:18.000 It can't be that it brushes.

00:46:19.000 What I know for sure is however they maneuver that rule, it will penalize West Ham in some way.

00:46:25.000 Like we've offside and like, what I remember from last season is the early part,

00:46:29.000 we were about to equalize through your man, Jared Bowen against Chelsea.

00:46:32.000 He scored a goal that just should have been allowed and it was disallowed for really weird reasons.

00:46:38.000 Like, that didn't make sense to me anymore.

00:46:40.000 Like, clad into, you know, that lad, Chelsea.

00:46:43.000 How many goalkeepers have Chelsea sold and bought this season?

00:46:46.000 How many players have they bought and sold? 0.95

00:46:48.000 I mean, it's ridiculous. 0.74

00:46:50.000 It's been a real merry-go-round. 0.93

00:46:50.000 Is it? 0.93

00:46:52.000 It's ridiculous. 0.98

00:46:53.000 I don't know... It's unrecognisable. 0.97

00:46:54.000 I don't know how I would feel as a Chelsea fan.

00:46:56.000 Exactly that.

00:46:57.000 The team is unrecognisable.

00:46:58.000 I mean, when you change... I mean, it feels like almost their entire...

00:47:02.000 The team has changed.

00:47:03.000 It's not the same manager.

00:47:04.000 It's not the same board.

00:47:06.000 Stadium's changed.

00:47:07.000 What is it you're shouting at?

00:47:09.000 What exactly is it you support in there?

00:47:13.000 It's becoming increasingly abstract.

00:47:15.000 But I suppose we'll be able to make a broad appraisal of the season here.

00:47:19.000 We'll be able to talk about who we reckon is going to win.

00:47:21.000 Is anyone going to say anyone other than City?

00:47:23.000 We're going to talk about top four.

00:47:24.000 We can talk about relegation and talk about who might come up.

00:47:27.000 We can take broad stabs at things, can't we?

00:47:30.000 Are you excited about it?

00:47:32.000 No, because we still ain't bought anyone at all.

00:47:34.000 The people that we are likely to buy are people I don't want.

00:47:36.000 I want that lad Alvarez out of Ajax.

00:47:39.000 I don't know much about him, except he's good.

00:47:41.000 You like his name, don't you?

00:47:42.000 Alvarez.

00:47:43.000 And you like the Ajax thing?

00:47:44.000 Ajax!

00:47:45.000 Alvarez of Ajax.

00:47:47.000 That's double A. That's good.

00:47:49.000 If that was a battery, you'd buy it.

00:47:51.000 But like, I'm worried about McTominay and I'm worried about Maguire.

00:47:56.000 I'm worried about the MU Mooks.

00:47:58.000 I'm just worried about the kind of two-for-one aspect with that deal.

00:48:01.000 Two-for-one doesn't usually represent anything other than a bargain that's based on quantity over quality.

00:48:07.000 You know one?

00:48:08.000 Yeah.

00:48:09.000 What about two?

00:48:10.000 I suppose that is more.

00:48:11.000 Here are these two underperforming, uninspiring, somewhat expensive... No, McTominay is intermittently good.

00:48:18.000 I would say so.

00:48:19.000 And for Scotland, incredible.

00:48:21.000 Absolutely incredible.

00:48:22.000 He's been amazing for Scotland.

00:48:23.000 And for United, you could argue he hasn't had the chances, especially last year.

00:48:28.000 But I do think that he's a good player.

00:48:31.000 And obviously, as a whole supporter, I like Maguire of a few years ago, but...

00:48:36.000 What will have happened to him?

00:48:36.000 I don't know.

00:48:37.000 And even Lester Maguire.

00:48:38.000 And even Easter Island Head Maguire.

00:48:41.000 All of those versions of Maguire we all like.

00:48:44.000 And Maguire, I don't look... Do you know what?

00:48:46.000 I always think of them as human beings because that is, of course, what they are. 0.95

00:48:49.000 And I try not to be like a right little bastard and sort of criticise people. 0.93

00:48:52.000 But I was hoping for Harvey Barnes, Newcastle. 0.97

00:48:55.000 I was hoping for James Ward-Prowse.

00:48:56.000 I don't think that's going to happen.

00:48:57.000 Well, they're saying it's too much work.

00:48:59.000 Well, you can get both... You can get both of these players for the same money.

00:49:02.000 You can get, what, Maguire and McTominay.

00:49:05.000 Apparently so.

00:49:06.000 I would like, but can we just have James Ward and the Prowse we'll get in a few years if it works out?

00:49:12.000 I'd rather break them down in double-barrel names than, like, I don't know about that.

00:49:15.000 Also, as well, like, as a West Ham player, it feels, I would prefer the, excuse me, fan.

00:49:21.000 I know, wow.

00:49:22.000 I prefer, Jesus Christ, the ego.

00:49:24.000 I prefer the feeling of sucking people up out of the championship.

00:49:29.000 I bet you do.

00:49:31.000 I don't think we've had many good signings like that.

00:49:40.000 I'm trying to think of any actually.

00:49:42.000 No and the one player who it looked like would make that move was Lingard when he had that fantastic season.

00:49:47.000 He should have done for himself.

00:49:49.000 He really should have done.

00:49:50.000 Now he's left Forest I think.

00:49:51.000 What's next?

00:49:51.000 Even that.

00:49:52.000 Galatasaray tends to be the next move after that.

00:49:56.000 Now a Turkish giants, Fenerbahce.

00:49:58.000 Oh, it's good when they have that derby.

00:50:01.000 It's ever such a seething atmosphere.

00:50:03.000 Well, if you want a seething atmosphere, go anywhere in England because you've betrayed us all.

00:50:08.000 Yeah, so that didn't work out.

00:50:11.000 I'm just trying to think of when we get, like, you know, we have had, from Jimmy Greaves to Ian Wright to Liam Brady, like, we've had post-Clive Allen, like, we've had post-Peake stars.

00:50:23.000 throughout our history. But it's always better when it's like, when I think of the great players like Payet, Affine,

00:50:30.000 you know, the Caño, and even more latterly the likes of Jarrod, Antonio.

00:50:35.000 I guess it's like, what does it suggest your club is? As in, is it finding, as you say, players from around the globe

00:50:43.000 that kind of, you know, would suggest that you have a great scouting network?

00:50:47.000 Or is it plucky, great players for the Championship?

00:50:50.000 Yeah, Jack Wilshere, Lundberg.

00:50:51.000 Whenever we take them lot off Arsenal, in decline, it's not...

00:50:55.000 It's not a good use of money.

00:50:55.000 Doesn't paint you in a great light as a club, I don't think.

00:50:58.000 I don't think so.

00:50:59.000 But this is what I worry about is the pathology of Moyes.

00:51:01.000 I feel like David Moyes, because of his own wounding at United, might sort of think, I can like take over poor wounded souls from Man U. And these are all things we can talk to Mark Goldbridge about because he's an expert in all of these players.

00:51:16.000 So we'll talk about that a little bit.

00:51:19.000 Mate, what do you want to talk about in your podcast?

00:51:23.000 It seems like we've got a new title sequence from Bad Graphics Jack, as well as a host of topics to talk about.

00:51:33.000 Shall we have a look at Bad Graphics Jack?

00:51:35.000 Is this for our predictions?

00:51:36.000 Are we going straight to predictions?

00:51:41.000 This is interesting, it says that Trump's legal team consists of a selection of Wayne Rooney's.

00:51:47.000 That's pretty amazing.

00:51:49.000 Oh God, that is good!

00:51:50.000 Donald Trump, this in American football news, Donald Trump is supported by entirely by Wayne Rooney's at different embryonic phases yes there's late Rooney to Trump's left there's classic current Rooney immediately to the right of Trump and then there's the thinking man's Rooney just at the edge of frame there and also Munch's scream just above Trump's shoulder there as a sort of a nice addition that's a bold courtroom artist right there it is that's a

00:52:25.000 Absolutely captured you that isn't it mate?

00:52:27.000 Yeah well Rooney is interesting isn't he?

00:52:29.000 Because he's doing, he's managing apparently very well at the moment with his big beard.

00:52:34.000 Who's he managing?

00:52:35.000 Is he MLS or Toronto or one of those?

00:52:37.000 I think it's America or Canada that he's at and apparently doing very well.

00:52:40.000 Aren't people worried that Saudi Arabia's transfer window stays open too long and Premier League players are going to get hoovered out in the hundredth minute, the 115th minute of play, you'll suddenly see Mo Salah galloping off to Saudi?

00:52:56.000 Because they're similarly unable, or DC United it is with Rooney, Yeah, they're seemingly unable to do anything about it.

00:53:03.000 I mean, Liverpool's reading that Klopp wanted to keep Henderson, but just the lure of that money was just too much, you know.

00:53:12.000 People were ever so upset about Henderson, weren't they?

00:53:14.000 They were.

00:53:14.000 The thing is, with glorious money, Is there you can sort of persuade yourself almost anything like like sort of Jordan Anderson would have gone from being an avid supporter of LGBTQ plus issues in the World Cup to thinking that is so much money I'm not ever gonna have to do anything again and like we sort of say oh come on mate you're getting a lot of money anyway but

00:53:37.000 It's all relative.

00:53:38.000 So much money that you're gonna get there.

00:53:41.000 Probably you get favourable tax arrangements out there in Saudi as well.

00:53:45.000 I mean, who among us can say?

00:53:48.000 I can see where this is leading!

00:53:49.000 Is there a lower league team in Saudi Arabia that would take me as sort of a player manager?

00:53:55.000 Yeah, or is there some kind of streaming platform?

00:53:58.000 They've not yet offered us anything.

00:54:00.000 People sort of ask sometimes, would you do like stand up in sort of nations like that?

00:54:05.000 And the answer is we would!

00:54:06.000 Can you just please just send the offers and we'll find a way of morally justifying it to ourselves retrospectively.

00:54:13.000 David, well I will, yeah.

00:54:14.000 David Foster Wallace, he goes, like when talking about John McCann's incarceration subsequent to his capture in Vietnam, that of course his plane crashed in a swamp, he was captured by Viet Cong, had his arms broken, was stabbed with a bayonet in the groin, and then when he was taken to the prisoner of war camp, he was offered early release because they found out that he was a high up, and indeed his relatives in the McCann family were like part of the Admiralty.

00:54:41.000 It's McCain.

00:54:42.000 I'm talking about oven chips.

00:54:43.000 I thought so.

00:54:44.000 Very similar.

00:54:44.000 You're right.

00:54:45.000 These are very reasonable chips and for 20 minutes in the oven.

00:54:50.000 Sorry, that whole beginning of that was meant to be about oven chips and also die hard.

00:54:56.000 No, John McCain is who I mean.

00:54:59.000 Anyway, like when it came to the release, they wanted to release him as part of a bargaining deal because they thought they'd get more loads of prisoners for him.

00:55:05.000 But the Geneva Convention plus, I don't know, protocols of the US military Uh, dictate that prisoners should be released in the order that they were captured.

00:55:15.000 And McCain refused to be released out of sequence.

00:55:19.000 They're like, we want to release you now, mate.

00:55:21.000 And he said, nah, I'm staying.

00:55:23.000 You've got to release all this stuff first.

00:55:25.000 So John McCain, whether you agreed with his politics or not, had morals and he didn't.

00:55:29.000 And why I'm mentioning this now is because David Foster Wallace in an essay about this said, imagine yourself in that situation, the excuses you would use to accept that deal.

00:55:37.000 You go, I may be taking this deal.

00:55:39.000 But I will dedicate my life to releasing other prisoners.

00:55:43.000 And in fact, in the long run, this will work out better for them because I will use my time and influence.

00:55:47.000 So then he goes, imagine the things you'd remember, the smell of your wife's hair, all these things.

00:55:50.000 He goes, so whatever you think about John McCain, he's a person who in that situation did that.

00:55:54.000 So that's why ethics and morality... Although, to be fair, Stephen Gerrard would never want to sign John McCain.

00:55:59.000 He, not like, certainly not in goal because he couldn't lift his arms above his head due to the torture that he received during that period.

00:56:08.000 But I suppose like when you see people wear rainbow laces or a badge or an armband or take the knee or whatever, the charge that exists in our culture now is that these gestures of virtue signaling, as it's commonly known, are actions undertaken without cost or consequence.

00:56:26.000 Like, when it, if it, like the real sacrifice and real activism, if you think of like, I don't know, Gandhi,

00:56:33.000 and it seems perhaps a little unfair to compare Jordan Henderson to Mahatma Gandhi,

00:56:37.000 perhaps the greatest civil rights leader in history, like...

00:56:39.000 And a hell of a right back.

00:56:41.000 I mean...

00:56:42.000 He wouldn't track back, Gandhi, and he had no gas for the overlap. 0.66

00:56:46.000 Gandhi, track back!

00:56:48.000 I will not track back.

00:56:51.000 Like, I suppose that's what it does to you, isn't it?

00:56:54.000 It's like, when it comes to it, if we were to talk to Jordan Henderson, he'd go, I'm bloody ill.

00:57:00.000 I think it's unfair, I have to say.

00:57:02.000 I think all of this stuff that gets labelled at footballers, I mean, again, bit of a trope and a cliche now to say this, but it is one of those, you know, few areas where working class people can earn a lot of money and it's one of the... It's one of the few areas where working class people can prop up a corrupt regime! 0.92

00:57:20.000 But you know, there are so many awful things going on in the world.

00:57:24.000 You've got cherry picking.

00:57:24.000 I know.

00:57:25.000 I mean, I actually agreed in the end with, let's say, Simon Jordan's analysis of the Qatar World Cup.

00:57:30.000 I was like, hang on.

00:57:31.000 I mean, what are they doing really that's any worse than stuff we either do or have done?

00:57:36.000 You can't...

00:57:37.000 If you're going to make these arguments with any sincerity, let's get ready to dismantle the machinery of capitalism and start building ecologically friendly, anarcho-syndicalist, decentralised tribes.

00:57:49.000 And given that no one's doing that, you might as well not criticise Jordan Henderson for doing it.

00:57:54.000 Jordan Henderson is definitely not getting paid more than America are making selling arms to Saudi Arabia.

00:58:00.000 So what's the real issue here?

00:58:02.000 And yeah, or the way that Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are profiting from the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which is still posed as a moral crusade in a kind of cake-and-eat-it capitalist sort of orgy of profit.

00:58:16.000 Yeah, that's pretty cool.

00:58:17.000 All right, hold on, I had one more thing to say about this that was pretty good and I think was going to be the Real so really seal the deal in either direction.

00:58:25.000 Yeah, I think so I think I was gonna seal it once and for all but I don't know should we go to Mark Goldbridge yet?

00:58:25.000 Yeah.

00:58:32.000 All right, let's have a look at these prediction title sequence. I've got my still got one more point bad graphics

00:58:37.000 Jack has been doing the thing have a look at it Hmm

00:58:41.000 Hmm Hmm

00:58:46.000 Hmm Hmm

00:58:50.000 Hmm You

00:58:54.000 You you

00:58:58.000 you He always does that.

00:59:01.000 He does.

00:59:01.000 He always does things like where there's a sort of real sting in the tail, doesn't he, Bad Graphics Jack?

00:59:05.000 He does, yeah.

00:59:06.000 He also has the sort of energy of Saturday morning TV from 1997, doesn't he?

00:59:11.000 Everything's like something that would introduce Trevor and Simon on Live and Kicking.

00:59:16.000 That's a reference.

00:59:17.000 Yeah, look it up.

00:59:18.000 Yeah, well, what predictions are we going to make?

00:59:20.000 Shall we make a prediction?

00:59:21.000 Okay.

00:59:22.000 I'll make a prediction.

00:59:22.000 I mean, who's going to... There's no point predicting anything except for total domination of Manchester City, is there?

00:59:29.000 No, I would suggest not.

00:59:30.000 Because they bought two players.

00:59:31.000 They improved them, haven't they?

00:59:33.000 I mean, they let go of a couple of people that they wanted to let go of.

00:59:35.000 Yeah, Gundogan's gone, hasn't he?

00:59:37.000 So, and he obviously got them up.

00:59:38.000 He was amazing for them.

00:59:39.000 Scored a very nice goal in the cup final.

00:59:42.000 I wonder if Mark Goldbridge saw that.

00:59:43.000 I'm not sure if he did.

00:59:46.000 Yeah, and Mahrez, that don't matter.

00:59:50.000 Well, you know, they've always got... They just bought back some... They bought some centre-back who looks tasty.

00:59:54.000 Yeah, from Leipzig.

00:59:55.000 Yeah, apparently Pep says he's... And what, Kovacic?

00:59:58.000 Kovacic from Chelsea.

00:59:59.000 Yeah, another smart signing at £25 million I think they got him for.

01:00:02.000 How are you going to say Guardiola?

01:00:05.000 Is that how?

01:00:05.000 I think he just did.

01:00:06.000 Do you think that they got him because his name is a bit like Guardiola?

01:00:08.000 I think they did, yeah.

01:00:09.000 Do you know, I like Guardiola.

01:00:11.000 What about Guardiola?

01:00:12.000 Close enough.

01:00:12.000 Get it in.

01:00:14.000 Yeah.

01:00:15.000 No, City, surely, again.

01:00:17.000 And, obviously, they could still buy a few more players.

01:00:19.000 I think Kyle Walker's agreed to stay, I read today, which is, like, good for them.

01:00:23.000 He was very good last season, Kyle Walker.

01:00:26.000 Why don't Man United buy someone like bloody Harry Kane?

01:00:30.000 Like, it's no good him going to Bayern Munich.

01:00:32.000 Well, that's because they refuse to sell him to Man United, which I understand Levy's like, no, we're not selling him.

01:00:32.000 That's boring.

01:00:38.000 That's one of their main people they like to sell people to.

01:00:41.000 They like to sell them Teddy Sheridan and Berbatov.

01:00:41.000 Yeah, I know.

01:00:43.000 This is exactly like that.

01:00:45.000 But I think they're in positions where they had to before, whereas in the Kane situation, they'd like... Sell him to Germany.

01:00:51.000 Yeah, although apparently that's not even happening.

01:00:52.000 He's really digging his heels in.

01:00:54.000 Well, he's a master negotiator as we know.

01:00:56.000 One thing we all know about Daniel Levy, for some reason, is that he is a master negotiator.

01:01:03.000 Distinct from all of our chair people.

01:01:05.000 Weird isn't it?

01:01:06.000 Weird it is, yeah.

01:01:07.000 What is he doing in there?

01:01:08.000 This is just, like, it can only be, people go, listen, we'll give you a hundred million for Harry Kane, even though he's only got a year left in his contract, and he goes no.

01:01:17.000 Yeah.

01:01:17.000 That's it.

01:01:18.000 I mean, that's not master, that's just he's obstreperous and oppositional.

01:01:23.000 Sure.

01:01:24.000 Anyone can just say no to piffings. 1.00

01:01:25.000 Right.

01:01:26.000 Except Zamo.

01:01:27.000 I'm really trapped in the 80s.

01:01:29.000 I can't get out of the 1980s.

01:01:31.000 What's wrong with me?

01:01:33.000 I don't know, mate.

01:01:34.000 What is it?

01:01:34.000 It's fine, though.

01:01:35.000 So, yeah, so are we doing predictions of winners?

01:01:38.000 All right, Man City win.

01:01:39.000 Obviously, we're saying Man City.

01:01:40.000 Like, who's going to come second?

01:01:42.000 Are you going to say Chelsea?

01:01:43.000 Are you going to say Arsenal?

01:01:44.000 Is it Liverpool?

01:01:45.000 Arsenal won the Shield the other day.

01:01:47.000 I mean, I know it's never an indication.

01:01:49.000 I think, like, one team who won the Shield has won the Premier League in the last 10 years or something, so that's not an indication that Arsenal will be winners this season.

01:01:56.000 Community Shield.

01:01:57.000 I know.

01:01:58.000 It's a funny thing, isn't it?

01:01:59.000 The Community Shield.

01:02:01.000 What community?

01:02:02.000 They give a bit of money to charity.

01:02:04.000 They're loving it though.

01:02:05.000 Look, aren't they?

01:02:06.000 They're pleased to have that shield.

01:02:07.000 Well, it's become like a big thing.

01:02:09.000 It didn't used to be all that big, did it?

01:02:10.000 The Community Shield.

01:02:11.000 Where's Declan Rice?

01:02:12.000 Did he not go?

01:02:13.000 Oh, trouble in paradise.

01:02:15.000 Did he play?

01:02:15.000 He went?

01:02:16.000 Yeah, he did play.

01:02:17.000 Played the old game.

01:02:18.000 What number's he wear?

01:02:19.000 Eight.

01:02:19.000 Don't get all sad over... No, it's just such a funny number.

01:02:22.000 No, I can see... Still a number that I think would suit him.

01:02:24.000 Oh, he's not over it, is he?

01:02:25.000 I am over it!

01:02:26.000 I'm glad he's gone!

01:02:27.000 I wanted him to go.

01:02:31.000 I'm pleased.

01:02:32.000 I'm pleased that we sold him and I'm even more pleased that we've not signed anyone to replace him.

01:02:32.000 I'm pleased.

01:02:36.000 Those seem like good decisions.

01:02:39.000 You're getting Harry Maguire.

01:02:40.000 Stop complaining!

01:02:41.000 I don't want Harry Maguire!

01:02:43.000 You can have a Scott McTominay for that!

01:02:45.000 I don't want a Scott McTominay neither!

01:02:47.000 I did see a tweet that said that West Ham were going to either buy the pair for £40 million or McTominay on his own for £42.

01:02:57.000 I love a joke like that, don't you?

01:02:59.000 It's a right out of order joke.

01:03:01.000 So out of order.

01:03:02.000 Poor Harry Maguire.

01:03:05.000 Yeah.

01:03:06.000 Predictions?

01:03:07.000 Let's get Mark Goldbridge on.

01:03:08.000 He's got his own YouTube channel.

01:03:10.000 He's doing really well.

01:03:11.000 People love him.

01:03:12.000 Let's have a look at a few examples of Mark Goldbridge taking it real bad that he's a Man United fan and Man United fans won't do what it's supposed to do and what it used to do.

01:03:23.000 Win football games easily.

01:03:26.000 One, two, three.

01:03:27.000 Everybody go.

01:03:28.000 Go City!

01:03:30.000 Let's do it for our history.

01:03:31.000 Look, Man City have gone long ball already there.

01:03:34.000 Flicked into Haaland.

01:03:36.000 Oh my god.

01:03:37.000 15 seconds in! 0.99

01:03:44.000 Oh fucking hell. 0.99

01:03:45.000 I'm gone. 0.99

01:03:46.000 I'm finished.

01:03:47.000 No! 0.99

01:03:50.000 7 fucking nil! 1.00

01:03:51.000 1 nil. 1.00

01:03:54.000 It's fucking 1 nil. 0.99

01:03:55.000 That's horrible. 1.00

01:03:56.000 It's like walking around with your parents having sex. 0.99

01:03:58.000 That midfield has got the positional sense of a blindfolded slug trying to find a Mars bar at a Weight Watchers convention. 0.99

01:04:07.000 And it's 2-2.

01:04:09.000 Game on.

01:04:09.000 Back in.

01:04:10.000 Let's go again.

01:04:11.000 Again, they're on the attack here. 1.00

01:04:18.000 You can sod off meowing as well, you bloody Arsenal fan. 0.98

01:04:21.000 Mark, thank you very much for joining us on the show. 0.98

01:04:26.000 You're very welcome.

01:04:27.000 Thanks for having me.

01:04:27.000 What's it been like to transition from that period of success into let's call it a rather more turbulent period as a United fan?

01:04:36.000 Is that a very painful thing?

01:04:37.000 Have there been brief moments of respite and joy within it or has it been a real grind?

01:04:44.000 I read somebody say a few years ago that you've got to appreciate the fact that we had so much success that it goes in swings and roundabouts and now it's a period of bad times that you've just got to put up with, but that's like being rich.

01:05:01.000 For 20 years and then living in a tent in a forest, isn't it?

01:05:04.000 I mean, you don't have to go, this is acceptable.

01:05:07.000 The serious answer is, you know, the club has been run badly and never should have fell as far as it has from the tree.

01:05:13.000 But I'll be honest that has.

01:05:17.000 It is quite humbling because obviously under Sir Alex, it was every year you expected to win things.

01:05:23.000 Whereas now you can sort of appreciate the fact that the reality football is that there's a lot of fans out there that don't have success as well.

01:05:31.000 So yeah, it's funny.

01:05:33.000 It's quite funny watching those clips back because it is just utter despair that most fans probably have for 99% of their lives.

01:05:39.000 Yeah it's striking as well because I think the quality that it has just watching it analytically is people enjoy watching authentic content and you can see that you allow yourself to have natural reactions to the frustration and disappointment that being a Man United fan has latterly included.

01:06:00.000 Now let's talk a little bit mate about Maguire and McTominay.

01:06:03.000 How are Man United going to cope With the loss of such a significant skeletal figures that are holding together the framework of that club, how do you actually feel about the departure of them players?

01:06:14.000 And also, do you think that Ten Hag's going in the right direction?

01:06:18.000 And what kind of appointments are required to get United anywhere near where they need to be to challenge City?

01:06:25.000 Is Hoyland going to be enough?

01:06:27.000 Just give us an overview from those potential West Ham departures all the way up to Hoyland, if you can, mate.

01:06:32.000 Yeah, well, look, I know you're a West Ham fan, Russell, so I'm very careful as to who might be watching in the higher-up corridors of West Ham, of what I truthfully say about Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay, because I think they would be very good signings for West Ham, and I think there's good value in going up to maybe £70 million for the pair.

01:06:49.000 But no, look, you know, Scott McTominay's an interesting one.

01:06:53.000 I've never been a massive fan of his in the sense that I don't think he's a first-team player for Manchester United, but I think playing regularly I do think he would.

01:07:02.000 He would.

01:07:02.000 He would be a suitable player for a West Ham or an Everton type thing.

01:07:07.000 Um, type thing.

01:07:08.000 What does that mean?

01:07:09.000 Yeah, because you'd be a good midfielder for a West Ham.

01:07:11.000 But no, I think Harry Maguire is probably the more interesting one.

01:07:15.000 I mean, I thought I'm fully aware that West Ham fans don't want these players.

01:07:18.000 I'm trying to talk them up a little bit, but Harry Maguire is an England centre back.

01:07:22.000 He's not a Manchester United centre back, but he's an England centre back and.

01:07:27.000 I was listening to what you said before.

01:07:28.000 I think David Moyes and his ex Manchester United journey might be what he's looking at here.

01:07:34.000 I've done well at West Ham and maybe these players can do well at West Ham.

01:07:38.000 I think they would do well.

01:07:41.000 I can't believe we rejected £30 million for Scott McTominay.

01:07:45.000 I don't know.

01:07:45.000 I heard you saying earlier about how he plays well for Scotland, but it amazes me that United would reject £30 million for him because I just don't know where that value has come from.

01:07:56.000 Rasmus Hoyland.

01:07:57.000 I really like that's the sort of thing that Manchester United should be doing.

01:08:01.000 We did this a few years ago.

01:08:02.000 Obviously, Cristiano Ronaldo would be the most obvious choice where you go and buy a teenager from sporting Lisbon, and they become a great player.

01:08:09.000 Manchester United over the last decade talking about failure have sort of fallen into this trap for spending a lot of money on other people's players, whether it be the Maria or Pogba or, um.

01:08:22.000 Trying to get Anthony etcetera.

01:08:24.000 Whereas I think with with Hoyland, I like the idea of but it's a bit like the Brighton way.

01:08:28.000 Everyone loves the Brighton where you buy a player that's well scouted.

01:08:31.000 That's not quite there yet.

01:08:32.000 And then they develop at your football club.

01:08:34.000 Manchester United should be doing more of that.

01:08:36.000 And I think that's something that Eric ten hog is looking to bring as a developmental coach rather than a Jose Mourinho wants to get the players ready and do it now.

01:08:45.000 I think Manchester United fans are always welcome to a manager that wants to build something over a period of time for a longer period of time.

01:08:52.000 Do you feel that these kind of changes are going to be sufficient to make you competitive?

01:08:58.000 Or do you feel that we're just getting deeper and deeper into an era of man-city supremacy?

01:09:04.000 And I suppose the most, in a way, obvious question and the defining question is that with clubs like City and Newcastle having the level of investment that they now have, are we going to see a new tier emerge in top flight Well, I was listening to what you were both saying about Jordan Henderson and I suppose that's the way football's gone.

01:09:37.000 If you'd said to me three or four years ago that United Would be in pole position to be acquired by Qatar.

01:09:45.000 I would be.

01:09:46.000 I don't really want that.

01:09:47.000 I don't like that model.

01:09:48.000 Man City have had that model.

01:09:49.000 I don't like it.

01:09:50.000 But where we are now, I'd say there's many a football fan who will agree with this, that if you want to be successful, so therefore in your lifetime, if you want to see your football club win trophies, then I don't see how it's possible without that level of, you know, unreserved wealth.

01:10:10.000 The likes of Man City and Saudi Arabia with Newcastle have.

01:10:15.000 I mean, look, Pep Guardiola has built a team over a number of years where he can say, I don't like that goalkeeper.

01:10:20.000 I don't like that right back.

01:10:22.000 I'll get a new one.

01:10:23.000 He's a fantastic coach as well, because they've acquired the best coach in the world.

01:10:27.000 They've acquired a brilliant structure around him in relation to recruitment and coaching, the infrastructure around Man City in relation to training facilities.

01:10:36.000 It's all bought, and it's all high level.

01:10:39.000 And I think that if you want to compete with that, and I'd love to see teams compete with that, I don't think you can without that sort of investment.

01:10:48.000 It's either.

01:10:48.000 We're at the critical point, I think, of either regulation or embrace the fact that it's a financial free-for-all.

01:10:55.000 You've either got to ban that and sort of introduce meaningful financial regulation of like, you can only spend this, wages can only be that.

01:11:03.000 You know, but I would prefer regulation at the point of purchase.

01:11:07.000 What do you think, Al?

01:11:08.000 It's really interesting what you say there about infrastructure because it's something that isn't spoken about that much.

01:11:12.000 You know, take Man United as an example.

01:11:14.000 They've spent an awful lot of money over the last few years and yet haven't really had much to show for it at all.

01:11:19.000 In fact, you'd say that that money's been badly spent in many, many a case.

01:11:23.000 And then you look at Man City, obviously have spent a lot of money themselves, but it feels like in terms of an infrastructure, they've got something so solid that no one else is kind of competing with.

01:11:32.000 You look at like Newcastle are trying to implement something similar and it feels like That's as important as the money that you're spending on players.

01:11:40.000 That what comes with that Saudi money or that Qatar money, whatever it is, is an infrastructure that's kind of unmatched and that feels like that's your future route to dominating this league for the next five years.

01:11:53.000 Do you think that infrastructure is something that isn't maybe spoken about as much as the more eye-catching headlines around player transfers?

01:12:02.000 I think the modern football fan is probably more aware of it than I was when I was younger.

01:12:06.000 I mean, growing up in the late 80s, it was Teletext.

01:12:10.000 I had no idea who played for Bayern Munich, etc.

01:12:13.000 And I think when you look at the Brightons and the Brentfords of the Premier League, their success isn't a coincidence.

01:12:19.000 It's based on scouting systems that other big clubs are now trying to replicate that will take them a couple of years.

01:12:25.000 I think that the structure is massively important and what man's I mean, Newcastle as soon as they were taken over.

01:12:31.000 I think they went and took the head of development from Brighton so you can.

01:12:35.000 You can have money and you're right, Manchester United.

01:12:37.000 I think even the CEO was caught saying 12 months ago that what we've spent in the last 10 years you walk into Carrington, the training ground and you go, where did it get spent?

01:12:45.000 So I think Manchester City and Newcastle not only are they rich, but they look at every level of the football club from youth to recruitment to.

01:12:54.000 Fitness and spend on the best.

01:12:56.000 And that's why you end up there because anybody can walk it.

01:12:59.000 I mean, look at Chelsea last year, spent ridiculous money. 1.00

01:13:03.000 Hearts in the right place of Todd Bowley, but just wasted a load of money and ends up having to rebuild a club in the summer again.

01:13:10.000 Mark, I want to include you in our predictions game for six games over the weekend.

01:13:16.000 I've drawn you quite accurately there next to our disembodied heads.

01:13:21.000 That's my portrait of you.

01:13:23.000 The first game, we've all got to make predictions.

01:13:25.000 Now, I make my predictions in a very immediate, reflexive way and they're regularly incorrect.

01:13:31.000 Gareth is more ponderous and likes to really sort of take it seriously, annoyingly so,

01:13:38.000 almost. Anyway, I'd like to invite you to participate in these predictions. So the

01:13:43.000 first game is Burnley v City. If you get the result correct, it's one point. If you get the score

01:13:51.000 exactly correct, then it's three points.

01:13:54.000 That's how our system works. It's quite complex. This could become the new fantasy football.

01:13:58.000 In fact, we should make ourselves rich from this.

01:14:00.000 It just occurred to me there.

01:14:00.000 It could be a thing.

01:14:02.000 All right.

01:14:02.000 I don't think you can own the football pools.

01:14:06.000 All right.

01:14:06.000 Burnley v Man City.

01:14:08.000 Mark, what do you think?

01:14:11.000 I'm going to go 3-1 to Manchester City.

01:14:13.000 Yeah, all right then.

01:14:14.000 I'm going to go 4-0 City.

01:14:15.000 What about you, Gail?

01:14:16.000 3-0.

01:14:17.000 3-0.

01:14:18.000 Bournemouth v West Ham.

01:14:22.000 Because that's at Bournemouth, isn't it?

01:14:23.000 I'm going to go 2-1 away win for West Ham.

01:14:26.000 Thank you.

01:14:27.000 I've gone 2-0 away win.

01:14:29.000 What about you, Gail?

01:14:30.000 I'll go 1-1.

01:14:31.000 1-1. 1.00

01:14:31.000 Damn you. 1.00

01:14:32.000 Newcastle v Villa. 1.00

01:14:34.000 Newcastle home.

01:14:36.000 Yeah, that'd be close, but I'll go with Newcastle's home form.

01:14:39.000 I'll go 2-0 Newcastle.

01:14:40.000 2-0.

01:14:41.000 Oh no, I'm going to say it's a surprising away win for some reason.

01:14:45.000 And you've gone 2-0.

01:14:46.000 You've gone home win.

01:14:47.000 And what about you, Gal?

01:14:48.000 I'm going to go 3-2.

01:14:50.000 I think they played each other in a friendly in pre-season.

01:14:53.000 I think there was quite high scoring anyway.

01:14:55.000 Oh, he really thinks he's got all the data, doesn't he?

01:14:58.000 Sam Allardyce.

01:14:59.000 It should be a really brilliant game, that, actually.

01:15:01.000 I'm looking forward to it.

01:15:02.000 Brighton-Luton.

01:15:03.000 Oh, come on, let's have Luton win their first game of the season away to Brighton.

01:15:07.000 I'm just going to say 1-0 to Luton.

01:15:10.000 I'm voting with the heart.

01:15:11.000 What about you, Goldbridge?

01:15:13.000 5-0 Brighton. 0.99

01:15:15.000 Fucking hell, mate! 0.99

01:15:16.000 Yeah, go for it. 0.99

01:15:17.000 What about you, Gal?

01:15:18.000 I've got a 1-0 Brighton.

01:15:19.000 1-0 Brighton.

01:15:21.000 Be a good game, that.

01:15:22.000 I'm excited about Luton.

01:15:23.000 I like the anomaly of Luton. 0.97

01:15:24.000 Proper Kenilworth Road, crap stadium, fans that are, let's face it, a bit 1980s. 0.66

01:15:30.000 It's going to be a fantastic season. 0.98

01:15:34.000 Alright, Chelsea-Liverpool televised game.

01:15:39.000 It's always been a contentious feature.

01:15:41.000 It'll probably be awful as a result.

01:15:42.000 It'll probably be something like 0-0 or 1-1.

01:15:45.000 Go on then.

01:15:46.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:15:47.000 They can be slow those games.

01:15:48.000 They cancelled each other out last season, but they were both awful last season.

01:15:51.000 Oh, like 0-0.

01:15:52.000 I'm going to say 0-0. 0.99

01:15:53.000 Drab crap. 0.98

01:15:54.000 Yeah, I'll go 1-1 then to make it different from you. 0.98

01:15:57.000 And what about you, Mark?

01:15:59.000 I'll go Liverpool away win 1-0.

01:16:02.000 Away win 1-0.

01:16:02.000 Oh, and then from the championship to Hugh, my dear, Gareth, Hull City versus Wednesday, Sheffield Wednesday, Hull City home.

01:16:13.000 I'll go 1-1.

01:16:14.000 Yeah, 1-1 for me as well.

01:16:15.000 1-1, 1-1.

01:16:16.000 We're allowed to say the same thing.
