Russell Brand is joined by Danica Patrick at Turning Point Amfest to discuss a range of topics including his past life regressions, his love of NASCAR, and why he thinks he could have been another gender in another life.
00:03:00.000I'm also going to be taking questions from the live audience here prior to appearing at Turning Point along with many people, some of your favorite Rumble contributors.
00:03:10.000If you want to join in, get involved in the comments and chat.
00:03:12.000If you're here at Turning Point but not yet in our beloved audience, come over and people in the audience will be asking questions live.
00:03:19.000Danica, thank you very much for joining me.
00:03:46.000If you're watching us on YouTube, you must remember the conditions that YouTube impose on content creators.
00:03:51.000Over the course of the next hour, I'll be taking your questions online, as well as dealing as best I can with the complexity of Danica, Patrick, NASCAR, Driver, and a whole host of extraordinary other abilities.
00:04:05.000Already today, you've eaten eggs, steak, played tennis, submitted Thomas in a form of mixed martial arts.
00:04:12.000What are you doing here at Turning Point, mate?
00:04:16.000Well, Turning Point's really where it all started for me a couple of years ago.
00:04:53.000Has anyone heard of a past life regression?
00:04:56.000Okay, so I will have to explain what that means.
00:04:58.000I'm a bit jealous that a neighboring content creator just got that whoop.
00:05:04.000And you know, like if you're on a date with another couple and like the other couple maybe kiss and stuff, I think that we should generate more whooping noises and hysteria than them.
00:05:14.000So in the end, they're like, what's going on over there?
00:05:18.000So if you could just whoop hysterically for a moment, just while I tell you, if you subscribe to Rumble Premium, you get additional content from me and Glenn Greenwald and a whole host of others.
00:07:31.000Danica, before this ends, we will pray for you.
00:07:34.000Can we just establish a rule now that anytime there's any cheering over there, we automatically cheer back in a very almost hysterical way.
00:08:22.000I did once have regressive past life therapy, but I recognized during it that all of the past lives that I remembered, there were reliable references in films.
00:08:36.000Like I remembered things like, I was in the Patriot.
00:12:51.000Ah, someone is going to ask questions.
00:12:53.000A young gentleman, sir, would you mind telling us your name, as well as the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you, and then ask your question.
00:13:04.000The most embarrassing thing that happened to me was in Wisconsin, I was walking to class on campus and I slipped and fell and people laughed at me.
00:13:31.000Well, it's a tough one for me because people keep asking me when I'm going to get involved in politics or run for anything.
00:13:37.000And I guess that leads to my answer, which is I just got asked today if I would run for something.
00:13:44.000I said, if I felt like I should, like I was needed.
00:13:48.000And if you're needed for a job and you can do it and people are reflecting to you that you're capable, then it'll end up feeling like a calling because it'll be about serving your community.
00:13:58.000And so backwards all the way to the beginning of when campaigning happened, it was explained to me that, you know, you run for office locally to support your local community.
00:16:51.000If you're watching this on anywhere other than Rumble or Rumble Premium, get Rumble now.
00:16:56.000And if you get Rumble Premium, you don't only get additional content from me, but you get it from Stephen Crowder and Tim Paul, a whole host of people.
00:17:03.000Also, if you get Rumble Premium now, you're allowed to stay one week in Baxter's home.
00:17:53.000I don't have a question because I already know there's not room for me to stay and it's a room.
00:17:56.000It's a house full of boys, and you guys don't put the toilet seed down, so there's just like no chance that I'm going to be there for that.
00:18:03.000And to just the overall smell of the house, probably.
00:19:02.000He's got too much executive authority.
00:19:05.000Young lady, let's do your question now.
00:19:08.000And please don't turn it into a scheduled appointment that will have logistical challenges, unless it's for Danica, in which case, by all means.
00:19:20.000My question for you is: do you think people miss the mark by letting fighting evil in politics overshadow the way that Jesus calls us to treat people?
00:19:30.000And if that's the case, how do we stay bold and truth without losing Christ-like love?
00:21:21.000In some ways, Lexi, I agree with Danica, but I'm minded of the mystical aspect of coming to Christ and a new kingdom and emerging.
00:21:31.000What I feel is in some ways, if we were to follow the edicts of a thinker like, say, C.S. Lewis, we would just be practicing Christian principles in our individual roles as citizens and civilians.
00:21:44.000But I'm struck by a recent video I saw Charlie Kirk say, God rest his eternal soul, when he talked about the American Constitution being achieved in alliance with Christian ideas and presumptively practiced by a Christian nation.
00:22:08.000And I think I want to talk about that idea because how do we bring the principles of Christ into government?
00:22:16.000Now, I read in N.T. Wright, a British theologian's recent talk on what is a Christian country.
00:22:25.000He said that Paul's continual exhortations for mutual forgiveness and kindness and grace were not just miscellaneous, ethical pledges, but what was required to bring together a multi-ethnic Christian community in the first century at a time of a great deal of division and confusion.
00:22:49.000And I suppose the things that suggest themselves to me have already been touched upon by our great, marvelous, and incredibly rapid-moving guest here, the idea of local subsidiarity.
00:23:03.000I indeed think that young men like our first questioner, not Baxter, he's clearly some sort of pervert, but young men in general just needlessly slander Baxter for a laugh.
00:23:17.000Like that we should be involved in local politics wherever possible.
00:23:20.000The real problem is centralization, both in commerce, global bureaucracy, but even in national government in a country like yours.
00:23:29.000To practice the principles of Christ, you have to love thy neighbor.
00:23:32.000If you can't love thy neighbor as yourself up until the point of death because you don't know who your neighbor is and you're continually bombarded with cultural imagery that suggests endless fragmentation and opposition, you cannot be Christ-like.
00:23:43.000That shares more with Babylon, with Babel, with the fall than with the principles of our Lord.
00:23:52.000Initially, perhaps a kind of radical moderate, refusing to turn against your brother or sister.
00:23:58.000To become radically Christ-like, we all know what it ultimately means because not only are we, by God's grace, followers of Christ Jesus, but we have a very local example in someone that was willing to die for what they believed in.
00:24:12.000And what I believe in now is maximal subsidiarity and maximum empowerment of the individual, the family, and the community under God, under Christ-like principles.
00:24:46.000One thing I thought about is just, you know, being able to be confident enough to say what you want, act how you want, be how you want.
00:24:54.000Maybe some of what you're saying is about stepping outside of the norm.
00:24:58.000And I think that whenever you have enough belief, self-belief, integrity in what that is, and it's for a good cause and in love and kindness, it's going to always come off right.
00:25:10.000But you have to make sure that you practice what you preach.
00:25:13.000And if you want people to accept you, if it's something outside of the norm for them, you have to accept others for being outside of the norm of what's normal too.
00:25:20.000So it has to be a back and forth of acceptance, but it's about being confident about what it is that you believe.
00:25:26.000And then it's going to always, I think it's going to always come across right.
00:25:50.000So the round of applause, organically occurring there, the atmosphere here at Turning Point in the stadium in Phoenix visibly becoming more febrile and alive with joy.
00:26:00.000One imagines that there could be spontaneous nude dancing.
00:26:22.000Well, two now from Phoenix, many others from other places.
00:26:25.000But nonetheless, when I saw that you were on the agenda, and then once touring around here and then seeing that I might have the opportunity to say something to you, I got so excited because I knew it was God.
00:26:54.000But then, secondly, is this probably about a month or two ago at exercise, a new person came.
00:27:02.000And as I was chatting with her, I must have asked something that said to her, that mentioned that she then mentioned, I became a Christian.
00:30:12.000So being part of the largest political party in the UK right now, Advance UK, and our fundamental core is bringing the country back to Christianity.
00:32:07.000So I went to Whitechapel because in Tower Hamlets they tried to deem the Pink Ladies as a far-right racist movement.
00:32:14.000So I stood outside the back of Whitechapel Hospital in my underwear and sprayed myself pink and then walked through holding the union flag.
00:32:22.000And as you'd know, Whitechapel is a probably 90% Muslim culture.
00:33:03.000The experiment of secularization, secularism, hasn't worked.
00:33:07.000The church has to be at the core of community life.
00:33:10.000A nation-state can be a community of different principalities, kingdoms, communities, whatever you want to call them, but you can't have external bureaucracies as a supreme power.
00:33:23.000It tends towards diabolic, it becomes diabolical.
00:33:28.000I think the problem that we're living with, Sarah, right now is that when you have counterfeit systems of power that emulate the power of God, i.e., the government wants you dependent on them for information, the time is coming where they'll want you dependent on them financially.
00:33:45.000They want you to come to them as little children.
00:33:48.000They want you to be innocent in your approach to them.
00:33:53.000I would say that it's the state itself that has to be opposed.
00:33:58.000Minimize wherever possible the influence and power of the state.
00:34:01.000So you're becoming an MP to maximally empower the community, to make sure people are affected by decisions that are as close to them as possible.
00:34:10.000And I would continue that principle of subsidiarity further.
00:34:13.000Where possible, communities should eat food grown or reared locally.
00:34:19.000They should be in control of their local budgets.
00:34:21.000They should discuss these things openly.
00:34:23.000I'm not saying you don't have leadership at the national level when it comes to vital transport infrastructure, hospitals, or, of course, the international defense.
00:34:32.000But those things are bureaucratized and depend on alliances that go beyond national sovereignty anyway, in many cases.
00:34:39.000So, mate, you're doing a good, strong thing.
00:34:42.000What it needs above all else is the prima materia, the primary material of the boldness of the people of a nation to stand up and be willing to do what you have done.
00:34:54.000I mean, not necessarily specifically paint yourself pink in underwear, though I like his style, like John Lyle, as they'd say in East London, nice moves, got to admire it.
00:35:03.000But I would say continue doing what you're doing and watch the resistance because the evil one is in charge of this world.
00:35:11.000It says it in scripture numerous times.
00:35:18.000John says it throughout Revelations and in some of his epistles.
00:35:21.000So in response to the earlier question to Lexi, you cannot.
00:35:26.000We don't go far enough as Christians in condemning the evil of this world, but I think we focus a little too much on localized evil rather than global, imperial, bureaucratic evil.
00:35:39.000Note that C.S. Lewis in his screw tape letters depicts the realm of the demons as a bureaucracy.
00:35:47.000It's through bureaucracy that they bring us down.
00:35:50.000And it is through community that you and all of us will oppose them.
00:38:46.000I don't know why I keep doing these kind of jokes.
00:38:48.000With my own children, I'm trying to instill in them that the supreme authority in their life is Christ and that they have direct access to Christ.
00:39:22.000But then they've got to be in the world, it's tricky.
00:39:24.000So we don't have our kids go to school because, in case they get indoctrinated into systems of control and potentially evil, so we're indoctrinating them around our house.
00:39:38.000But like I'm saying, do you know, I told them very early in their lives, don't trust any authority.
00:39:43.000And frankly, that has led to some problems because then they won't go to bed when I tell them.
00:39:47.000But other than that, it's been a foolproof model for preparing because I weren't with the Lord when they were born, you know, except for my boy Herbie.
00:39:57.000So I'm, I think you just have to tell them that they have direct contact with Christ, that it's about denial of the world, denial of the flesh, then some pretty simple values, pool line values that we just espoused just then that are necessary if you're going to live in a community.
00:40:12.000As NT Wright said, they ain't just a random bunch of ideas.
00:40:16.000They're ideas that create cohesion and love between groups.
00:42:07.000I got to say that the wayward guys like myself that do go back to Christ and you know try to slough off the old life, we look at you like you're a saint of the wayward, right?
00:47:56.000So, my question to you is: a little over a year ago, my husband and I drove across country.
00:48:01.000We live in California, Northern California, and we drove across country with a lot of other people's money and things that they had donated to help people in the hurricane area of North Carolina.
00:48:16.000And what we came, what we found is that we were all more alike than we were different.
00:48:26.000But my question to you, Russell, is that being of the celebrity world and the holiday world, Hollywood world, and do you feel like there's a lot more out there that are alike that maybe don't speak up, that are that are more godly, that maybe aren't taking that stand, like you?
00:49:47.000Now, Danica, you came to the Lord, presumably after what point in your giddy trajectory of being a NASCAR speed demon and, as far as I can tell, wiry and intimidating woman.
00:50:02.000When did you turn to the Holy Father and the Heavenly Lord and Jesus Christ our Savior?
00:50:07.000Well, I didn't grow up a whole lot of Christian, but there's always been a very big curiosity within me.
00:50:12.000So I actually did get confirmed Catholic probably 50 or so years ago.
00:50:19.000But I think that it's not, even I probably am more religious than I would even let people know.
00:50:27.000And I think that's, well, like just the example of saying I'll pray for someone or doing that on my own, right?
00:50:33.000Just thinking it in my head or saying prayers at night or in the morning or whatever that practice is.
00:50:39.000I wouldn't necessarily tell people about it.
00:50:42.000And so I think that there's probably like a hiddenness to things that are mysterious and things that are unproven and things that are more about feelings and energy.
00:50:52.000And they're just not, they're not concrete.
00:50:57.000And so I think that even I have been someone that probably doesn't know how much I practice praying and practice being of gratitude and asking for things as well.
00:51:12.000I guess that's just, I think that's my question: is that isn't it, is it more out there than maybe what we see, and especially in the media of what we see?
00:51:55.000Ma'am, I think that when it comes to the world, I've increasingly come to think that the function of celebrity is precisely to establish and endorse the principles of false idolatry that befell and befuddled the people of the Old Testament.
00:52:14.000False gods, unless you're working for the kingdom, I don't know, man, maybe you're working against it.
00:52:21.000So I wouldn't be surprised that people don't declare and proclaim the holy name of the Lord because those institutions are by nature diabolical, Luciferian counterfeits of all that is real.
00:52:34.000But that don't mean that they're not all going to be saved, or at least some portion or some percentage by his holy grace.
00:52:51.000I want to thank our fantastic guest, Danica Patrick, for a wonderful contribution.
00:52:57.000Danica is going to ride me, along with her attractive consort, to our hotel now at breakneck speeds.
00:53:04.000We're going to race against an AI vehicle to prove that human beings will always beat robots, which we consider to be the dark tools of Satan when it comes to a foot race.
00:53:14.000Sam will be given, as soon as we arrive at the hotel, a full body massage.
00:54:00.000Charlie was one of the few that really did it for the purpose of forwarding free speech, the actual idea of doing something great for America.
00:54:09.000We got a lot of stuff to talk about today.
00:54:24.000got hammerhead charlie was one of the few that really did it for the purpose of forwarding free speech the actual idea of doing something great for america We got a lot of stuff to talk about today.
