Stay Free - Russel Brand - Stay Free with Russell Brand #003 - Is The System Deliberately Making You Poorer?

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

00:00:27.000 I'm going to get the camera.

00:11:00.000 In this video, you're going to see the suit's surface.

00:11:18.000 Hey, you're watching Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:11:20.000 We're streaming all over the world on Rumble and wherever... Well, actually, it's just Rumble.

00:11:28.000 It's exclusively Rumble.

00:11:29.000 That's the only place that you can watch it.

00:11:31.000 It's 12pm in New York City.

00:11:33.000 In Los Angeles, it's 9am.

00:11:34.000 Here in the UK, where we are, it's 5pm.

00:11:36.000 In Yerevan, Armenia, it's 8pm.

00:11:39.000 Let's have a look at some of your comments.

00:11:42.000 Doctor Who vibe.

00:11:43.000 Hello from the Canary Islands, says Castanaccio.

00:11:47.000 Top country girl, he's a left winger that's waking up.

00:11:50.000 It's good that we're talking about that because we're talking about the old political factions and fissures and about emergent new populism, new ideals that help us to unite against the establishment.

00:11:50.000 Aha!

00:12:02.000 Whatever we may have previously believed ourselves to be, for surely all of us want new political movements that empower ordinary people to run our own lives as individuals and to run our own communities.

00:12:15.000 Today's question is, is the system deliberately making you poorer?

00:12:19.000 Or is it sort of doing it by happenstance, by accident?

00:12:23.000 Nonetheless, however it's happening, Ordinary people are getting poorer the world over.

00:12:28.000 There's a cost of living crisis.

00:12:29.000 The rich are getting richer.

00:12:31.000 Are things improving?

00:12:32.000 Let us know in the chat.

00:12:33.000 Let us know in the comments.

00:12:34.000 Do you think you have the leaders in place to steer you out of crisis?

00:12:38.000 Whether that's dear old beloved Joe Biden over there in America or...

00:12:45.000 There he is, God bless him.

00:12:48.000 Or, whoever it is, who's in charge of our country now?

00:12:50.000 Liz Truss.

00:12:51.000 Truss, that's it.

00:12:52.000 She's running our country. 1.00

00:12:53.000 We've got a fantastic show for you today.

00:12:56.000 We're gonna be, well as well as addressing that question, and talking about the removal of the banker bonus caps in this country.

00:13:04.000 We're gonna be talking about congressional politics over there in America.

00:13:09.000 What do we talk about in that video again, Gal?

00:13:11.000 Well, we're talking about the revolving door and the increasingly, uh, the way it's increasingly just openly talked about and laughed about in, uh, in Senates.

00:13:19.000 In hearings, actually.

00:13:20.000 In hearings to, uh, regulate the banking industry.

00:13:23.000 That's because the ninth richest congressperson had a right guffaw about one of his co-workers

00:13:29.000 going to work for a leading American bank.

00:13:32.000 Now what do you think these relationships mean when it comes to governance?

00:13:36.000 How do you think you can be fairly governed when those kind of relationships and indeed

00:13:40.000 the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street continues to spin at an alarming

00:13:46.000 rate?

00:13:47.000 In the studio with us today we've got Mick Lynch who's the leader of the RMT, that's

00:13:51.000 the Rail Maritime and Transport Workers Union and we're going to be talking about action

00:13:54.000 that's being taken tomorrow in this country and we're going to be talking about the significance

00:13:58.000 of trade union movements all over the world, for example like Amazon workers and popular

00:14:03.000 uprisings all over the country, nation, world.

00:14:07.000 The whole planet is, there's uprisings everywhere you look and they're whether it's in Sri Lanka,

00:14:11.000 Dutch farmers, rail strikes in this country and indeed if you like are a person that's 0.90

00:14:17.000 Say anti-trade unions and anti-the left broadly.

00:14:21.000 What is going to be required for ordinary people to come together and challenge established power?

00:14:26.000 How do you see it happen?

00:14:27.000 Do you think that the centre-left political movements that are currently in power across the world are going to do anything about it?

00:14:33.000 Do you think conservative politicians?

00:14:35.000 Do you think Republican politicians?

00:14:36.000 Who do you think is going to do something to help ordinary people?

00:14:39.000 This guy?

00:14:43.000 But first of all, let's do a bit of what I call normal news.

00:14:47.000 Here is some normal news for you so you know what's going on in the planet in case you sort of miss out on mainstream media.

00:14:53.000 I let you know what's going on, you know, just to keep you abreast of these matters.

00:14:58.000 Putin plans to formally annex four regions from Ukraine.

00:15:02.000 Here he is, Putin, practicing a new handshake.

00:15:08.000 There he is.

00:15:11.000 Make up, make up, never, never break up if you do.

00:15:16.000 I suspect a new piece can emerge just on the basis of that handshake alone.

00:15:24.000 There's going to be new penny pieces with a new king's head on it.

00:15:27.000 King Charles coins.

00:15:29.000 Shall we have a look at them?

00:15:29.000 Do you think that's better?

00:15:31.000 Do you prefer that to the old one?

00:15:32.000 I think it's a bit strange that it doesn't wear a crown, because it could be any old fella.

00:15:36.000 You're right about that.

00:15:37.000 The crown is the significant feature of a monarch.

00:15:41.000 It looks like he's just an old man looking out a window.

00:15:44.000 Old man peers out of window on a coin.

00:15:49.000 After slamming Florida, Hurricane Ian barrels towards South Carolina.

00:15:54.000 But don't worry, because Joe Biden is present.

00:15:57.000 Where is he?

00:15:58.000 At the Federal Emergency, what is it called?

00:16:00.000 Federal Emergency Management Agency.

00:16:03.000 Now, Joe Biden's had a lot of trouble, you know this, giving speeches at podiums on stages.

00:16:09.000 You know he gets a little bit bewildered.

00:16:11.000 But now there have been measures taken to ensure that he knows his way onto a stage, and he knows his way off a stage.

00:16:18.000 Let's have a look at him at the theme of speech he was giving.

00:16:22.000 Okay, thank you.

00:16:24.000 Thank you.

00:16:25.000 No!

00:16:27.000 She actually made a physical lunge for him there, didn't she, to restrain him.

00:16:30.000 Mr. President?

00:16:31.000 No!

00:16:32.000 But he won't learn if people... Look at this, he's actually given a... He wanders off into a vestibule and is applauded.

00:16:37.000 How's he ever gonna learn if you applaud him?

00:16:39.000 Thank you.

00:16:41.000 APPLAUSE So she's gonna get him, look. 0.75

00:16:47.000 Bye.

00:16:49.000 Also, in normal news... Queen Elizabeth II, cause of death has been revealed.

00:16:57.000 She was old.

00:16:58.000 Yeah.

00:16:58.000 That was it, wasn't it?

00:16:59.000 She simply died of having... She'd been here long enough.

00:16:59.000 Yeah.

00:17:02.000 It's time to die. 1.00

00:17:03.000 Old age. 0.98

00:17:04.000 That's the official reason.

00:17:06.000 I think there's probably more detail.

00:17:07.000 If you're going to go to the trouble of probably quite an expensive coroner... Right.

00:17:11.000 Don't you need... I'd be annoyed if it just came back with old age, but give me some exact details.

00:17:15.000 We've done everything we could.

00:17:16.000 We've examined her from top to toe.

00:17:19.000 Elderly?

00:17:20.000 That was the issue.

00:17:24.000 Top Apple exec is leaving the company after a vulgar remark on TikTok.

00:17:29.000 This is just someone who's a part of their acquisitions team, I think, wasn't he?

00:17:34.000 He's Apple's vice president of procurement.

00:17:37.000 And actually, I thought you'd be interested in this.

00:17:39.000 His comments are similar to the line in the 1981 movie Arthur, where billionaire main character Arthur Bach, is it, Ross?

00:17:46.000 You'd know.

00:17:47.000 I don't know, because sometimes, there was a time where I pretended to be Arthur for a fee, and some say it was the best rendering of Arthur that ever happened.

00:17:56.000 The best high-pitched rendering.

00:17:59.000 High-pitched rendering, wasn't it?

00:18:00.000 I looked at it lately, and what it was, I thought, there's a bit at the beginning of the film where I dress up as Batman, so I thought I'd show my kids, because they like Batman.

00:18:08.000 I showed her, my older kid, goes, yeah, look at this.

00:18:10.000 Like, I thought maybe she'd think it was Batman, but no, she weren't happy.

00:18:15.000 She switched off.

00:18:16.000 Like, I don't like it!

00:18:18.000 In a rather more baritone voice than I used in the film.

00:18:21.000 Did she ask about the beard, or...?

00:18:23.000 Yeah, I regret that.

00:18:25.000 Some people say that when I shave my beard off, it's like when Darth Vader takes his helmet off.

00:18:29.000 There's nothing revealed under there that anybody should be subject to.

00:18:34.000 Denmark's queen stripped four of her grandchildren of their royal title so they could shape their own existence.

00:18:40.000 I think that's unlikely that they're going to be able to shape existence.

00:18:42.000 That's an odd ontological claim to make.

00:18:45.000 Yeah, it's a strange one, isn't it?

00:18:46.000 Also, apparently she's only stripped four of them.

00:18:49.000 Some of them.

00:18:49.000 You stay royal.

00:18:50.000 And the other ones have to.

00:18:52.000 Not royal!

00:18:52.000 Royal!

00:18:53.000 Not royal!

00:18:53.000 Royal!

00:18:55.000 There's a quote from the mother of the children who have been stripped of it.

00:18:58.000 She said she was shocked.

00:19:00.000 This came out the blue.

00:19:01.000 The children feel excluded, she said.

00:19:03.000 Well, they have been.

00:19:04.000 They can't understand why their identity has been taken away from them.

00:19:06.000 My kids don't know which leg to stand on.

00:19:09.000 Interesting.

00:19:10.000 Both of them.

00:19:11.000 That's the best way.

00:19:12.000 Put yourself equidistant between the two of them, particularly now you've not got royalty to fall back on.

00:19:17.000 You need to maintain your balance at all costs, is what I would say.

00:19:21.000 Also, they're still going to be called the Count and Countess of Monpezat, which isn't exactly... they're not exactly blending in with the Everyman, are they?

00:19:28.000 Oh, it was just a humble Count and Countess of Monpezat!

00:19:31.000 We learned our Countessing on the streets the hard way!

00:19:34.000 Yeah, that's not... that's hardly a normal life.

00:19:38.000 It's not a tale of Dickensian depravity, is it, that being a Countess?

00:19:42.000 Not at all.

00:19:43.000 I think they'll be fine, won't they?

00:19:44.000 They're going to make it, though.

00:19:45.000 I'm going to back that plucky little Countess to make her own way in life. 1.00

00:19:50.000 Liz Truss, she's the Prime Minister of this country that we live in. 0.90

00:19:54.000 She defends oil profits and uncapping banker bonuses.

00:19:58.000 I want to have a little look at this because if there's one piece of news that gives you a rough sketch of the problem of national and international politics, it's this one.

00:20:09.000 Liz Truss, in this brief 40-second clip, You'll see her neglect her obligation towards the people that elected her in favour of defending a globalist corporate agenda, suggest that Shell oil board holders are just average Joes. 1.00

00:20:27.000 I mean, so much goes on.

00:20:28.000 Have a look at this.

00:20:30.000 Shell is giving their shareholders £6.5 billion.

00:20:36.000 People at home watching who can't afford to heat their homes come the winter will be horrified at that.

00:20:43.000 Look at who these shareholders are.

00:20:45.000 These shareholders are often people with pensions.

00:20:48.000 You know, pension... Don't just assume that people that are shell oil shareholders are the fat cat.

00:20:55.000 No.

00:20:56.000 Who are they ultimately?

00:20:57.000 Who ultimately owns the lot?

00:20:58.000 The biggest shareholders are Blackrock.

00:20:59.000 Blackrock.

00:21:00.000 Ten trillion dollars in assets they have.

00:21:03.000 I was a humble countess and a shareholder in Shell Oil via my interest in Black Rock.

00:21:12.000 To portray the Shell board as ordinary pensioners is an extraordinary depiction. 0.95

00:21:19.000 Shareholders are not all men in suits sitting in offices.

00:21:25.000 There's no such thing as free money.

00:21:29.000 That's an interesting thing to say during inflation.

00:21:33.000 And also, an over-neglect of the idea of welfare, of taking care of people.

00:21:42.000 Also, when you're talking about free money, there is sometimes free money, isn't there?

00:21:46.000 When you have to bail out banks.

00:21:47.000 That's free money to them.

00:21:49.000 Quantitative easing was a bit like free money when trillions of dollars appeared sort of from nowhere to bail out fraudulent bankers in the crisis of 2008.

00:22:00.000 Yeah, that sort of seemed like free money.

00:22:02.000 We've got to be very careful if the UK gets a reputation for arbitrarily taking money in tax that we've not sort of done through the official tax system.

00:22:12.000 When you say that the UK can't get a reputation for arbitrarily giving out money, who is that reputation among?

00:22:19.000 That's among, I would suggest, the global corporate elite.

00:22:23.000 Who are you going to get a reputation on?

00:22:24.000 Is there some sort of lunch club that countries go to?

00:22:27.000 There isn't, is there?

00:22:28.000 That is an international reputation.

00:22:31.000 So it's, in a sense, a revelation of what agenda drives politics at that level, I suppose so.

00:22:37.000 It's also talking about tax.

00:22:37.000 Yeah, it is.

00:22:39.000 So, did you know this?

00:22:40.000 The combined tax loss to offshore wealth across the UK and its havens is £64.5 billion per year.

00:22:46.000 That's more than the NHS staff bill.

00:22:48.000 The NHS is of course the health service that we have in this country, the UK, where if you hurt yourself, people don't see it as an opportunity to earn a quick buck.

00:22:58.000 So the amount of money held in offshore tax accounts is enough to pay for the entire staff bill of a nation's health service.

00:23:07.000 Then of course the Tories have raised, well in 2017 had raised one million through Britain's in tax havens.

00:23:14.000 You probably don't want to help them out.

00:23:14.000 So there you go.

00:23:16.000 Alright, fantastic.

00:23:17.000 Back to international politics now.

00:23:20.000 Kamala Harris, don't know which Korea is the goodies and which Korea is the baddies. 0.99

00:23:26.000 Let's have a look at that.

00:23:28.000 Oh, have you got that now?

00:23:29.000 Yeah, let's see it.

00:23:30.000 So the United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea.

00:23:40.000 Is it North Korea or is it South Korea?

00:23:43.000 It's South Korea.

00:23:45.000 It is South, yeah.

00:23:46.000 That's the whole purpose of the visit.

00:23:48.000 It's pretty simple.

00:23:49.000 Concentrate.

00:23:50.000 Yeah.

00:23:51.000 North, South.

00:23:54.000 The gaffe comes just a day after North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile towards the East Sea.

00:24:00.000 Just towards it, then it just dissipated, vaporized.

00:24:04.000 No problem there.

00:24:05.000 No problem there, that'll take care of itself.

00:24:07.000 So you've got Harris not knowing the difference between North and South and Biden not knowing the difference between dead and alive in terms of that clip the other day.

00:24:14.000 You know when he talked about Jackie Wolofsky, who he referred to as, he said, where's Jackie?

00:24:19.000 And it transpired that she died.

00:24:21.000 I suppose of the divisions to not be able to recognize the distinction between North and South, that's, yeah, that's a problem, but difference between death and life, that's pretty fundamental to not be able to observe that.

00:24:33.000 He would not make a very good coroner, would he?

00:24:37.000 No.

00:24:37.000 If you can't observe the, I don't know, it seemed alright, been laying there still for a while.

00:24:41.000 He'd think the Queen was still alive.

00:24:42.000 She seems okay.

00:24:43.000 Get her back out there. 0.98

00:24:44.000 I say another 70 years.

00:24:46.000 Let's have another jubilee about it.

00:24:47.000 And eventually when she's replaced, put some sort of shiny hat on her immediate antecedents. 0.70

00:24:54.000 All right, then.

00:24:56.000 Of course, the news in your country, America, there is dominated by this ongoing hurricane, Don Lemon.

00:25:03.000 There's nothing that man won't try to politicise.

00:25:06.000 Now me, personally, I feel like our attitude towards the planet should be one of reverence, high regard and love.

00:25:12.000 But I know a lot of you are cynical about the climate change movement because you think it ultimately leads to the instantiation of corporate interests.

00:25:18.000 Me, generally speaking, I would say look after the planet in any way that you can.

00:25:23.000 But Don Lemon is overtly politicising this meteorologist's report.

00:25:29.000 This person's like a dyed-in-the-wool meteorologist Just wants to talk about weather.

00:25:33.000 Don Lemon, you've got an axe to grind.

00:25:34.000 Check this out.

00:25:36.000 Can you tell us what this is and what effect climate change has on this phenomenon?

00:25:42.000 Well, we can come back and talk about climate change at a later time.

00:25:45.000 I want to focus on the here and now.

00:25:47.000 If you look here, you can actually see, pretty interesting for your viewers, you can actually see a second eye wall forming.

00:25:54.000 Ever heard the term eye wall before?

00:25:56.000 No.

00:25:56.000 No, I haven't.

00:25:57.000 Okay.

00:25:58.000 ...around the inner eye wall, and that's basically the second eye wall has over... Can you stop saying eye wall?

00:26:04.000 It's not a thing that everybody knows about.

00:26:07.000 ...the original eye wall, and that should arrest development.

00:26:11.000 Listen, I'm just trying to get that you said you wanted to talk about climate change, but what... I don't think he did say that he wanted to talk about climate change, did he?

00:26:17.000 No, he said we can talk about it at a later time.

00:26:20.000 It's not relevant.

00:26:21.000 What effect does climate change have on this phenomenon that is happening now?

00:26:25.000 Because it seems these storms are intensifying.

00:26:28.000 That's the question.

00:26:28.000 I don't think you can link climate change to any one event.

00:26:32.000 On the whole, on the cumulative, climate change may be making storms worse, but to link it to any one event... I like this, because this meteorologist is sort of devoted to a particular academic discipline.

00:26:46.000 He's a scientist, so he's not going to be inclined to politicize something unless he's got the data in front of him that Tells you explicitly that that's what's happening.

00:26:57.000 But Don Lemon, like, in his sort of attempts to convey a particular agenda, firstly, he just sort of uses power of persuasion, but ultimately resorts to, like, childishness and self-centeredness.

00:27:12.000 Yeah, I would caution against that.

00:27:13.000 OK, listen, I grew up there, and these storms are intensifying.

00:27:17.000 Something is causing them to intensify.

00:27:20.000 Listen, I'm... Can you tell us what this is?

00:27:21.000 I'm from there, OK?

00:27:22.000 And I used to look out the window pretty regularly, and it was not like that.

00:27:26.000 It's getting worse and worse.

00:27:28.000 Yeah, you can't just use your emotion to... You can't have an emotional response to weather.

00:27:32.000 No, but Donald Trump basically wants to ask the questions, did you vote for Joe Biden, and have you been vaccinated?

00:27:38.000 He basically wants that, doesn't he?

00:27:40.000 Let's get to the point here.

00:27:41.000 Are you on my side or not?

00:27:43.000 Really, they don't teach that at Meteorology.

00:27:45.000 I just study these formations.

00:27:47.000 We look at vapour.

00:27:48.000 That's how this whole thing works.

00:27:50.000 Okay, it's time for us to dive a little bit deeper into a news story.

00:27:55.000 Today we are asking broadly, is the system deliberately making you poorer?

00:27:58.000 And it's hard not to think that it might be.

00:28:01.000 when you are confronted with the revolving door.

00:28:04.000 This little clip, loads of you will have seen it already.

00:28:06.000 It's Troy Hollingsworth, who's the ninth richest person in Congress, with a personal estimated wealth of $75 million, just joshing with members of the banking industry about a new appointment that they're making.

00:28:20.000 It's time for us to move towards our glorious in-depth item.

00:28:24.000 Here's the news. 0.99

00:28:25.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:28:26.000 Have a look at this. 1.00

00:28:30.000 No, here's the fucking news! 0.99

00:28:34.000 As a congress member openly brags about a staffer leaving to work in Wall Street, we ask you, why are they not even hiding the revolving door anymore? 0.99

00:28:45.000 You've long known that there's a revolving door between Wall Street and Congress.

00:28:50.000 You know because we've told you, you've told us, we tell each other that people in Congress own stocks and shares in the companies that they regulate.

00:28:58.000 You know about the lobbying money that provides the mulch that makes the swamp That Trump said he was going to drain, but I don't know if he drained it.

00:29:06.000 Well, surely you will have seen this week that a member of Congress was openly bragging about a staffer going to join Wall Street.

00:29:14.000 They laugh about it.

00:29:15.000 They laugh out loud about it.

00:29:16.000 Let's have a look in more detail.

00:29:18.000 During a bank oversight hearing this week, Republican Representative Trey Hollingsworth boasted that one of his staffers would soon be leaving Congress to work on Wall Street, offering a glimpse of the legalised corruption that permeates the highest levels of the US political system.

00:29:32.000 She's very, very excited, said Hollingsworth, whose past campaigns were funded heavily by the finance and investment industries.

00:29:38.000 Hollingsworth is worth about $75 million, making him the ninth richest member of Congress.

00:29:44.000 Let's have a look at the moment that it happened so we can judge for ourselves whether it's the way that you want America to be run or not.

00:29:52.000 The gentleman from Indiana, Mr. Hollingsworth, is now recognized for five minutes.

00:29:57.000 What are they doing there?

00:29:59.000 If you're talking about any kind of regulation or oversight, you're going to have to watch JP Morgan, Citibank and Bank of America.

00:30:06.000 Right, let's get some fairness and justice and proper regulation into the banking industry.

00:30:12.000 Who are we going to need?

00:30:13.000 Well, JP Morgan.

00:30:15.000 What kind of party could we have without him?

00:30:17.000 They're the last people you want involved in this situation.

00:30:21.000 At this point, the idea that our current systems could ever bring about meaningful change in your life is risible.

00:30:28.000 Think about the number of gatekeepers.

00:30:30.000 Think about the number of checks.

00:30:32.000 Think about the systemic corruption, how deeply embedded it is.

00:30:35.000 What's fascinating about this video is you get to see that it's just conversational,

00:30:40.000 colloquial, humorous.

00:30:41.000 It's not like, oh my God, there's this shameful thing where democracy is a joke.

00:30:45.000 It's just accepted, ordinary, normal.

00:30:49.000 When we're thinking about the kind of changes that are required, you can see now in real

00:30:53.000 time the sort of regulations that need to be implemented don't have major banks involved

00:31:01.000 in financial regulation.

00:31:02.000 Of course their expertise when it comes to the nitty gritty of the world of finance could

00:31:07.000 be helpful.

00:31:08.000 In the same way if we were talking about energy, you'd want to know about people that were

00:31:10.000 used to dealing with energy.

00:31:13.000 Dealing with any area of expertise, there has to be consultancy.

00:31:16.000 But that consultancy cannot be about creating systems that prevent proper regulation.

00:31:21.000 Think how multivalent the problem is.

00:31:24.000 The people in Congress own stocks and shares.

00:31:26.000 They're going to go and work for organisations they're supposed to regulate.

00:31:30.000 They're lobbied by those organisations.

00:31:32.000 Now this thing is generations deep already.

00:31:34.000 It's so sort of creaking and cracked and accreted.

00:31:37.000 It's like a deep coral reef of corruption.

00:31:41.000 Well, good afternoon.

00:31:42.000 I'm excited to be here with each of you.

00:31:43.000 Before I get started on my questions, Mr. Moynihan, I wanted to let you know, Saruthi, raise your hand, Saruthi.

00:31:50.000 She has been my team member for a couple of years now, but on Monday, she becomes a Bank of America team member, about which she is very, very excited, so I hope you'll take good care of her and know and recognize the talent that she has shown already in our office.

00:32:03.000 I'm sure she'll do the same at Bank of America.

00:32:05.000 We will do that, and her father already works for us, so he'll take care of it.

00:32:08.000 You should have called us.

00:32:10.000 Oh God!

00:32:14.000 Like, just remember that it's not that long ago that the financial industry, and I'm not suggesting that it directly correlates to any of the individuals in this video, but the financial industry more broadly brought America to its knees.

00:32:28.000 Created a recession not seen since the 1930s.

00:32:32.000 People lost their homes.

00:32:33.000 Born out of it was the Occupy movement and new forms of populism that are hated by the Democrat establishment all emerged out of financial corruption and reactions to financial corruption.

00:32:45.000 We're at the point where it's kind of just joked about.

00:32:47.000 And what I don't like about this also is the kind of piety when talking about cultural issues.

00:32:52.000 Don't say that!

00:32:52.000 Don't use those words!

00:32:54.000 We're trying to create a better America.

00:32:55.000 All of the sort of posturing and virtue signalling, that is the real face of American politics.

00:33:00.000 That's what it looks like.

00:33:02.000 People having a laugh.

00:33:02.000 Now I'm not suggesting they're horrible people.

00:33:04.000 Mr. Ollingsworth, I bet he's alright.

00:33:06.000 And I bet the people that work at Citibank, they're all alright.

00:33:08.000 They're all just human beings.

00:33:09.000 them were once a sperm and an ovum and they're human being and they've got

00:33:13.000 nephews and nieces and they're all you know they'll work at the same bank

00:33:16.000 evidently but that is not a system for fair government something that has

00:33:21.000 inbuilt nepotism revolving doors jobs for the boys jobs for the girls jobs for

00:33:26.000 the appropriate people and if it is just that just tell us that this is what it

00:33:30.000 is don't pretend like make people get out of bed every four years and send in

00:33:33.000 a postal ballot oh there we go There!

00:33:36.000 Take that, Donald Trump!

00:33:38.000 There, Joe Biden!

00:33:40.000 That shows you!

00:33:41.000 There's just a leaf floating in the breeze.

00:33:43.000 It's irrelevant.

00:33:44.000 Don't get all caught up and het up about any of that stuff, election fraud, this.

00:33:49.000 It doesn't matter.

00:33:50.000 You're going to end up with these kind of conversations.

00:33:52.000 Do you think that there's a single political figure today that would stop that exchange happening?

00:33:57.000 There isn't, because it would be written in a manifesto.

00:33:59.000 It would say, You will not be able to work in Wall Street if you have had a job anywhere in Congress.

00:34:06.000 No one in Congress can receive funding from these companies.

00:34:09.000 Banks will be regulated by people that are completely independent and outside of the banking industry.

00:34:15.000 Who's got those policies?

00:34:16.000 Who wants to show me?

00:34:17.000 So I don't know much about this stuff so it's quite possible I'm wrong.

00:34:19.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:34:20.000 Let me know in the comments because I want to learn more.

00:34:22.000 At the moment I think this is so deeply systemic that no sort of Charismatic figure from either side, whether it's someone slick and charming like Obama or bombastic and funny like Trump.

00:34:33.000 I don't think anyone's gonna come out of that system.

00:34:36.000 We did a video the other day, Obama boy in the stock act.

00:34:40.000 Thank you, Obama.

00:34:41.000 And then a year later, Obama repealed it. 1.00

00:34:43.000 Damn you, Obama. 1.00

00:34:45.000 And then a few years later, Biden says, we beat you, Big Pharma! 1.00

00:34:49.000 We beat Pharma this year!

00:34:51.000 He's taken more money from Big Pharma than anyone else.

00:34:54.000 They have to be outside of it.

00:34:56.000 It has to be actually, and this is the heartening thing, us.

00:34:59.000 It has to be you.

00:35:00.000 You have to go, well, what am I going to do?

00:35:01.000 How am I going to run my community differently?

00:35:03.000 How are we going to form alliances that are cohesive enough to confront this kind of hegemony?

00:35:10.000 Um, we're good.

00:35:11.000 Well, I appreciate the opportunity to chat about some of these issues today. 0.80

00:35:14.000 Do you think there's any bit of him now, the bit where he's gone, and now I appreciate the opportunity, he's gone, oh shit, this looks like we're all mates and I couldn't possibly regulate these people because we're all working for one another and we operate in this company.

00:35:25.000 That's theatre! 0.86

00:35:26.000 Like when you see those sort of things, you know, like you used to see in JFK and like when they're talking to the mob or Jimmy Hoffa.

00:35:32.000 This stuff's meant to be legit, right?

00:35:33.000 Or is it all just theatre?

00:35:35.000 Don't they all have the same kind of interests, really?

00:35:37.000 Don't they all own shares in similar interests?

00:35:39.000 I don't know!

00:35:40.000 You tell me in the chat below if you think that stuff's gonna lead to...

00:35:44.000 Oh, and then on Wednesday, my mortgage repayments were sorted out.

00:35:48.000 And on Friday, we got a job that was meaningful and valuable.

00:35:51.000 And then on Thursday, all of the food that we were eating improved in quality.

00:35:56.000 Then Friday, our marriage was better.

00:35:58.000 And then on Saturday, I felt that there was some spiritual value and meaning in my life and that we were able to accept that people were different and had different value systems but could kind of get along.

00:36:07.000 It all came out of that room where people were going, haha, Sarah starts on Monday.

00:36:11.000 We've already got her father at the back.

00:36:11.000 Look after her.

00:36:13.000 Okay, I've got a newborn baby.

00:36:13.000 Brilliant!

00:36:15.000 Can that have a job? 0.99

00:36:16.000 Yeah, fucking throw it over here. 0.99

00:36:17.000 We'll give this guy a job. 0.99

00:36:19.000 Stick it over there.

00:36:20.000 It could be a bank clerk.

00:36:21.000 We don't open the banks anymore.

00:36:22.000 We'll just put it by the ATM.

00:36:22.000 I don't know.

00:36:24.000 I appreciate the opportunity to chat about some of these issues today.

00:36:27.000 What I'm really interested in is the state of the economy.

00:36:30.000 Actually, I'm in the state of the economy, that's why I come here.

00:36:33.000 I get up every morning with my 75 million dollars and my family at all work at various Wall Street banks.

00:36:40.000 What is the state of the economy so I can continue to steal from it?

00:36:45.000 Sounds like a mad conspiracy theorist.

00:36:46.000 Neither do I want to sound reductive and naive.

00:36:48.000 I'm simply saying that that exchange demonstrates to you the true nature of congressional politics and its relationship with the financial industry.

00:36:58.000 I don't think they're all sort of lined up being pals, having a barbecue, doing can-cans or whatever.

00:37:03.000 I'm saying simply that that's a sort of a glimpse It's at the reality of the system that they work very hard to pretend it's all about merit and hard work and stuff you don't understand.

00:37:14.000 We had no choice but to do the quantitative easing package.

00:37:18.000 You wouldn't understand. 1.00

00:37:18.000 You're too stupid. 1.00

00:37:20.000 You're too stupid to understand what really went on in 2008. 1.00

00:37:22.000 Oh, really? 1.00

00:37:23.000 Because what it seemed like is people had done a bunch of deals and stuff that they knew was going to go tits up, but they did it anyway.

00:37:29.000 And then no one suffered from it.

00:37:30.000 And all those people got rich.

00:37:31.000 And then you sort of meted out all of the losses across the world.

00:37:34.000 No!

00:37:35.000 Because what it looks like is they're all mates and they know each other and like that woman and her dad all work for the bank and the bank is funding that geezer's campaign and so that geezer don't regulate the bank's problems.

00:37:44.000 It's not that!

00:37:44.000 No!

00:37:45.000 You're not using the right type of words. 1.00

00:37:47.000 Oh yeah, no, I must be too stupid. 0.99

00:37:49.000 We've all got things like that in our own lives. 1.00

00:37:51.000 None of us are perfect.

00:37:51.000 We've all done stuff.

00:37:52.000 We're all doing things.

00:37:53.000 It's like you're all on a journey trying to improve as individuals.

00:37:56.000 But what I'm saying is the systems that we live within are Accentuating our lower nature, let's call it greed, selfishness, you know what I mean, Sesame Street stuff, instead of kindness, compassion, selflessness.

00:38:08.000 So what kind of life are we going to end up with if all of the power is centralised around people that are running on their lowest possible motives?

00:38:16.000 Not saying Mike Ollingsworth is bad, or the head of JP Morgan or whatever, I don't know them, I bet they're alright.

00:38:22.000 I bet if you met them somewhere and chatted, they're alright.

00:38:24.000 But the systems are broken.

00:38:26.000 The exchange offered a rare on-camera look at the revolving door between Congress and the financial industry, as well as the remarkably cosy relationship between lawmakers on the House Financial Services Committee and big banks.

00:38:37.000 Like, we talk to you all the time about this.

00:38:39.000 There are people regulating industries that they directly benefit from.

00:38:42.000 How can that happen?

00:38:44.000 How can they reliably be asked to regulate that?

00:38:48.000 The revolving door between committees that oversee the nation's banks spins particularly fast.

00:38:53.000 Many lawmakers and aides involved in crafting and watering down Wall Street regulations in the wake of the 2008 financial crash went on to take jobs at large financial institutions.

00:39:05.000 You remember at the time they went, oh so bad this has happened, we're gonna bail out the banks and we're gonna teach them a lesson.

00:39:10.000 Don't worry it'll never happen again.

00:39:12.000 They created regulations and they watered down those regulations and then they went on like old laughing boys mate to Get jobs in the financial industry.

00:39:22.000 Oh, that's so complicated, but I can't understand that.

00:39:24.000 It's sort of, I suppose to a layman like me, it sounds like you gave them really shady, easy regulations and then they gave you jobs.

00:39:31.000 And if you'd have served the American people instead of serving the financial industry, you'd have gone, these lot should all go to jail.

00:39:37.000 These people should be bailed out instead of those banks.

00:39:40.000 Here's how we'll ensure that never happens again.

00:39:42.000 We'll look into all the people who got massive bonuses during that time.

00:39:45.000 We're going to take all those bonuses back.

00:39:47.000 We're going to take this value off of these banks.

00:39:48.000 We're going to return that to the economy.

00:39:49.000 We're going to nationalise these into... All of these kind of things didn't happen, and to reward them for not doing that, They gave them jobs. 0.94

00:39:57.000 That's like trusting your right hand to stop your left hand from masturbating.

00:40:01.000 Public Citizen has estimated that in the midst of the economic crisis, the financial services industry deployed more than 1,400 former federal employees, including ex-committee staffers, to lobby Congress on banking issues.

00:40:13.000 So far in 2022, commercial banks have spent over $30 million lobbying Congress, 61% to Republicans and 39% to Democrats.

00:40:22.000 Perhaps you're a person who prefers the left side of the congressional system and you think, oh, well, that was a Republican person.

00:40:28.000 But 61% of the $30 million spent lobbying Congress was spent on Republicans and 39% to Democrats.

00:40:35.000 60-40 split.

00:40:36.000 It's not that different.

00:40:37.000 I mean, elections are a lot closer in your country, but it's not clear enough, is it?

00:40:42.000 In October 2021, Democrats scaled back plans for a crackdown on tax cheating, bowing to an aggressive lobbying campaign by the banking industry.

00:40:51.000 That's another thing, isn't it?

00:40:52.000 That we see them do these great ceremonies of, you know, the Stock Act, or we're going to make sure that never happens.

00:40:59.000 Out front, there's patriotism, jingoism, fist pumping and fist bumping.

00:41:03.000 This is for the American people.

00:41:04.000 Then just a bit later, we're not going to do that anymore.

00:41:07.000 We're like children.

00:41:08.000 We're bewildered.

00:41:09.000 Unless we stay awake and stay conscious, we'll continually be subject to this kind of regulation and legislation.

00:41:15.000 There'll be a bit where they say they're doing something about it.

00:41:17.000 I beat Big Pharma this year!

00:41:20.000 Okay, Big Pharma, crack on, lads!

00:41:23.000 Unless you stay awake and stay alert, the system will continue to reassert itself.

00:41:27.000 They can handle five years of going, oh, sorry about that banking crash, or sorry about this Big Pharma exploitative profits.

00:41:33.000 They know that a lot of people are thinking, bloody hell, they made a lot of money over at Pfizer during that pandemic.

00:41:38.000 Is that right while these people were suffering?

00:41:40.000 Same as in the banking crash.

00:41:41.000 Wow, all of those banks and stuff, they did rather well out of this and then they all just got bailed out.

00:41:46.000 Yeah, but in a while we'll forget.

00:41:49.000 75 years when the files are released we'll have forgotten by then.

00:41:51.000 So you have an obligation to first of all accept that corruption and accept your own responsibility to stay awake and stay responsible.

00:41:59.000 But that's just what I think.

00:42:00.000 let me know what you think in the chat and I'm going to be responding to you in just a minute.

00:42:04.000 Patriot Sean said because the world at large failed the largest IQ test, 1.00

00:42:16.000 COVID pandemic, government actions, they don't feel they have to hide things from the mass of idiots. 1.00

00:42:21.000 Music saved my life, 25. 1.00

00:42:22.000 You said, Russell, there needs to be a cap or limit on how much someone in politics can earn.

00:42:28.000 Manifold says, lobbyism is criminal and should be forbidden.

00:42:31.000 Pure poison for a democratic country.

00:42:34.000 Liz Trust, the recently elected Prime Minister of the UK, not elected by people of course, elected by her own party.

00:42:42.000 We saw her in that clip earlier say there's no such thing as free money.

00:42:47.000 When money is managed in the manner that it is with quantitative easing, accessible to people within a certain industry but not available to people at large, how can you ever have reasonable, realistic change without popular movements, without ordinary people coming together?

00:43:03.000 It is a great honour for me to introduce our guest today, Mick Lynch, the leader of the Rail and Maritime and Train Workers Union.

00:43:10.000 Transport.

00:43:11.000 Transport.

00:43:12.000 That's all forms of transport.

00:43:14.000 Of them rail, maritime, transport union workers in your union, who's the most trouble?

00:43:20.000 I would think maritime.

00:43:21.000 Maritime's very difficult because we've had international laws that have got rid of the British Merchant Marine.

00:43:26.000 There are very few seafarers left in this country, which is absurd for an island nation. 0.98

00:43:31.000 But they do give me a lot of trouble.

00:43:32.000 A lot of people from Liverpool.

00:43:33.000 Yeah.

00:43:34.000 I would think they're capable of creating a little bit of ag. 0.87

00:43:34.000 That group of people. 0.87

00:43:38.000 Mate, you've revitalised union politics since you've come to prominence in this country.

00:43:44.000 How do we change the perception of union movements which, in a way, has come to be regarded as something that belongs to a former century?

00:43:54.000 It's become regarded as antiquated.

00:43:56.000 It's become a little bit nullified, stultified.

00:43:59.000 Like in ordinary politics, it doesn't seem there's any vibrancy.

00:44:02.000 And yet, without strong unions, how can ordinary people ever come together to confront established problems?

00:44:08.000 Well, looking at me, you'd wonder why it looks a bit old-fashioned, but we've got to link up.

00:44:13.000 I mean, the workplace is a really important place.

00:44:15.000 We spend at least a third of our time at work, and we've got to get a square deal.

00:44:20.000 And if we get a square deal at work, the rest of the communities will follow.

00:44:23.000 So if you look what's happening, people being exploited on a gross level, In the UK, in America, all around the world, people have lost the right to have dignity and respect in the workplace, as well as getting a fair day's wage and fair benefits and all the rest of it.

00:44:37.000 So the unions have got to come out of the workplace and into the communities and link up with all these growing movements.

00:44:43.000 You've got people now, which wasn't a phenomenon when I was young, We've got identity politics who want to assert their own identities on the world and express themselves.

00:44:52.000 We've got environmental campaigners.

00:44:54.000 We've got the traditional campaigns about pay and conditions.

00:44:57.000 And we've got to make sure we're all linked up together so that we can show the bosses, the people that run the world, that we have got our own voice and we can link up.

00:45:07.000 No matter what our background, whether it's an ethnic background, a national background, religious belief or whatever, we've got to link up.

00:45:13.000 And if you see the women in Iran this week, if you see the people struggling all over the world.

00:45:18.000 In India last year, they had the biggest strike in the history of humanity. 0.99

00:45:22.000 Three and a half million farmers went on strike.

00:45:26.000 Because of the laws the Indian government brought in to do the farmers down to bring modern farming techniques.

00:45:31.000 So we've got the ability to link up in all our communities and across the world to get a better deal for all of us so that we feel we've got some control of the world in which we live.

00:45:41.000 And at the moment, most people feel it's out of control and they're just being exploited and directed not just in the money they earn, but in the way that they think, and

00:45:51.000 the way that they react with each other, and the way they interact in society.

00:45:55.000 And that's got to change.

00:45:55.000 We've got to feel that we've got a stake and a say in society.

00:45:59.000 This imagined distinction between people that identify with traditional

00:46:04.000 cultural ideology and progressive cultural ideology, I feel is one of the divisions that has to be mended.

00:46:11.000 This Enough is Enough protest that takes place tomorrow in support of your union's strikes is perhaps one example of how different groups can come together, coalesce around one protest movement.

00:46:24.000 Can you explain a little bit about what's happening tomorrow?

00:46:26.000 Exactly.

00:46:26.000 So some unions have got a bit of power left.

00:46:29.000 So railway workers and postal workers that are out have obviously got the ability to take action.

00:46:34.000 But it's our responsibility to link up with the powerless or the people who don't know how to organise.

00:46:39.000 And that could be from saving your local nursery to saving something big in your society like the NHS or the education service.

00:46:47.000 So we know how to organise, but we've got to spread that out and we've got to link up.

00:46:50.000 So tomorrow, we're going to ask people who are campaigning on all these local issues, or anything they're angry about in this society, to come and support the workers that are on strike.

00:47:01.000 Because if we win and show trust and quasi-quarteing and the powers that be, that we have got an active voice and a say, then we can give them hope that they can change their community, whether it's on a council estate or housing scheme, Whether you're angry about fracking, or the environment, or food, or whatever it is you're angry about.

00:47:20.000 If you're organizing, you can make these link-ups and connections through new media, but old-fashioned techniques, and bring the generations together, as well as all the diversity that we've got.

00:47:31.000 Diversity is wonderful, but unity is powerful, and that's what we've got to have.

00:47:36.000 Put aside our differences, and make the things that bring us together, which is the preservation of our planet, Earning a decent wage, getting good conditions, but also dignity, as I've said already.

00:47:47.000 The dignity of life and the dignity of work and the ability to live freely, the title of your show, is what it's all about.

00:47:54.000 We've got to bring people together, like we did in America in the 60s with the civil rights movement, started off as a minority situation, ended up Making the president, several presidents, move their responses and change the laws, change the state's laws, change the federal laws.

00:48:12.000 We had that in our country with the Racial Equality Acts and the Sex Discrimination Acts and the stuff about women's freedoms and all the rest of it.

00:48:21.000 It's when you link up together rather than sit in your own pillar that you make change in society.

00:48:26.000 And the people have got to relearn that.

00:48:28.000 They used to have it, I think, in the old days.

00:48:30.000 So you've got to learn what our forebears did but use these new techniques, social media, different techniques are coming together to say we're together and we're going to change this world for the better.

00:48:40.000 So there is action taking place in 50 cities across the UK tomorrow.

00:48:45.000 There's a link in the description if you want to support that action.

00:48:48.000 Please take a look at that.

00:48:49.000 I was really interested to hear you talk about the agricultural protests in India because many people believe that those protests are a result of Globalist edicts, top-down ideologies, out of places like the WEF, out of new conditions placed on fertilizers and stuff, that when it hits the reality of agriculture, it impoverishes farmers and makes their practices impossible.

00:49:11.000 We've had a lot of positive feedback.

00:49:12.000 We speak to Vandana Shiva, who's an expert in that area, in Indian activism and agriculture.

00:49:18.000 And this sort of, let's call it a globalist agenda that is being pursued, is one reason why the response But we did it before.

00:49:25.000 kind of establishment power has to be similarly organised.

00:49:28.000 Whilst we would never support centralised globalist power, people have to find new ways of uniting

00:49:33.000 and coming together.

00:49:34.000 But we did it before. If you take child labour in the UK, in America or wherever it happened,

00:49:39.000 when they abolished child labour a lot of working class people said I can't do this

00:49:42.000 because I'm going to be poorer.

00:49:44.000 I depend on that child to support the income, especially when you've lost a parent or whatever.

00:49:50.000 What it needs is an entire reform.

00:49:51.000 So you need education reform, health reform, you need welfare spending to bring those families that are the poorest with you.

00:49:58.000 So when a farmer is subject to a change that they've not participated in, they didn't participate in making the change, They feel that they're a subject of society, rather than a person who's active in it.

00:50:10.000 So we've got to give people the ability to be activists and influencers in their own society.

00:50:16.000 When you feel powerless, you feel that you're just the object of what's going on.

00:50:21.000 And that's what self-help and self-emancipation Somebody once said, is the job of the working people themselves.

00:50:27.000 So they need organisations in which they can act, rather than just react to a single event.

00:50:34.000 So you need a whole programme of change that working people feel they're in control of. 1.00

00:50:39.000 Mick, how do you create a sense of cohesion and support for industrial action, where most people feel like when their trains are on strike or whatever, this is like a massive pain in the arse, I can't get anywhere, like James over here, he's running a marathon, Uh, on Saturday, it's the London Marathon on Saturday.

00:50:53.000 So, like, you know, which, like, in a way, it raises loads of money for charity, and I sometimes think, bloody hell, a lot of those causes should be supported by the state and by infrastructure.

00:51:01.000 Anyway, James is doing it for, like, kids' cancer charity, but in a properly civilized world, children with cancer will be supported in some, uh, in a way that's a little more reliable than people running 26 miles. 0.96

00:51:14.000 How do you help people to understand the necessity for industrial action and so that people don't... We've been trying to kind of see it as a massive pain in the arse. 0.73

00:51:24.000 Well, you get nothing without struggle.

00:51:25.000 So we wouldn't have the welfare state in this country if the trade unions hadn't made it happen. 0.69

00:51:30.000 We wouldn't have got anywhere in America, we would not have abolished slavery at that time unless there was a massive conflagration to make that happen.

00:51:38.000 We wouldn't have got civil rights, we wouldn't have got gay rights without people willing to take the pain of making change. 0.98

00:51:44.000 Now I don't want to impose inconvenience and disruption on people.

00:51:48.000 But if we win this dispute, if we get a result, if the posties get a dispute, the nurses and the doctors that are coming in to struggle, we will all be better off because it will make the ruling class, that old term, think I've got to share some of this power with people, I've got to distribute some of this wealth, but I've also got to allow them or give room for people to have influence.

00:52:08.000 So it is a struggle for all of us.

00:52:11.000 People used to understand that a bit more, and the job of the trade union is to be out in those communities explaining self-organization and struggle that comes from below, rather than just meaningful good deeds and meaningful papers written by the eminent people.

00:52:26.000 We've got to make that change ourselves.

00:52:28.000 There'll be no change without the ordinary people of this world making it happen and that's what we've got to be part of.

00:52:34.000 I suppose we have to recognise that the establishment itself is invested only in its own sustenance.

00:52:38.000 Even that story we've just done about congressional corruption and the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street is a demonstration That the system will always preserve itself.

00:52:49.000 New legislation's being introduced to replace that stock act, but as usual, there's a loophole that means that people in Congress ultimately will be able to own stocks and shares, or someone close to them will be able to.

00:52:59.000 That suggests, or demonstrates in fact, that power will have to come from outside of the normal spaces.

00:53:06.000 We will have to move beyond the usual democratic means.

00:53:09.000 It will involve protest, it will involve grassroots action.

00:53:13.000 If you're interested in real change, We're going to have to do a few things, including overcoming the kind of prejudices that are stoked in order to prevent ordinary people coming together.

00:53:22.000 If we sort of see ourselves as divided along cultural, religious, racial or identity lines, how will we ever challenge meaningful establishment power?

00:53:32.000 Unless we're willing in ourselves to look beyond those kind of ingrained prejudices, those trained prejudices, and come together in support of ordinary people, who want to have power in their own lives.

00:53:43.000 Whether it's around, as Mick is explaining to us, around workplace action, like these rail strikes, or smaller community-oriented action, there cannot be meaningful change.

00:53:56.000 So I suppose tomorrow, and the Enough is Enough campaign, is an opportunity for people to support striking workers.

00:54:03.000 And as you say, whatever community issue you've got some sort of gripe with, this is a chance to get out there.

00:54:10.000 Exactly, but I really take your point that we've got to overcome our own inbuilt prejudices, stuff that was fed into us as kids.

00:54:16.000 I mean, I've had a struggle with identity policy.

00:54:19.000 It was something in my generation we never dealt with, and I've had to say... What do you mean?

00:54:23.000 Well, because we were, you know, gay people's rights and transgender...

00:54:27.000 All non-binary, I never knew what that meant two years ago.

00:54:30.000 And I have to overcome that internally.

00:54:33.000 But now I've got to the position where I say my job is to facilitate people who are struggling and be tolerant and allow them to come into our movement.

00:54:41.000 I could just say it's railway workers, blokes out in orange digging up the railway, but it's got to be part of a bigger movement that allows space for everyone.

00:54:50.000 So that means we've got to challenge the religious groups that are sometimes Socially conservative to fight for workers rights.

00:54:56.000 We've got to get people who may have been had reactionary politics to change Toleration of each other is the star of unity and that certainly sounds a bit hippie ish It is but it is absolutely true if we're all going to be united together.

00:55:09.000 We've got to put down our weapons and We've got to love one another.

00:55:18.000 You can't build anything out of hate.

00:55:20.000 You can't build anything meaningful out of hate.

00:55:23.000 In a sense, it's obvious that the people that are causing the problems in your life can't be other people that don't have power.

00:55:31.000 I always feel that the dynamism of any movement must be focused on where power lies.

00:55:37.000 Who is it that makes decisions?

00:55:38.000 Who is it that benefits?

00:55:40.000 During the pandemic, we saw a huge wealth transfer.

00:55:43.000 People in the pharmaceutical industry got wealthier.

00:55:46.000 People in big tech got wealthier.

00:55:48.000 This was not a time where minorities hugely benefited.

00:55:54.000 I feel that we're deliberately distracted, that these kind of divisions are stoked, and we should be looking for opportunities to unite and come together.

00:56:02.000 And the easiest one to stoke is migration. 0.59

00:56:05.000 So you've got the issue in America about coming over the border from Latin America.

00:56:09.000 We've got the issue here right now about people coming across the Channel.

00:56:12.000 They want us to hate those people.

00:56:14.000 At the same time, they want cheap labor.

00:56:16.000 So America is full of people from Latin America doing the work at the bottom of the equation. 0.99

00:56:23.000 In this country, we have got a double standard.

00:56:26.000 At one stage, we're saying, keep them out.

00:56:28.000 Another stage, it's quite handy to have them.

00:56:30.000 And the agriculture industry at the minute is saying we need more immigrants.

00:56:35.000 So we've got to challenge those double standards.

00:56:37.000 Nobody is our enemy.

00:56:38.000 Nobody should be illegal in any society.

00:56:41.000 If they're here they should be treated exactly the same way that those of us been here a while should be treated.

00:56:46.000 And that's one of the big prejudices we've all got to overcome is stop hating other people because the people in control tell us to hate them.

00:56:55.000 Unity is the answer and that's what we've got to strive for.

00:56:57.000 I feel like the thing the establishment fears more than anything else is ordinary people coming together in a focused way, understanding that new systems can be created among us if we're willing to communicate.

00:57:09.000 Hey mate, I sort of want some kind of absolution from you.

00:57:12.000 When I was a kid, I inadvertently did some scabbing.

00:57:15.000 Now what happened was, it was Christmas time, and I feel like the postal union, like the mailman union, or mailperson union, they was all out on strike.

00:57:22.000 I didn't know that, I was doing work for a temp agency, and I'd done some deliveries, you know what I mean, I worked as a postman, I was only 18, I had slippery shoes on, I was skidding about, I was delivering letters, the mail sack was over my shoulder, it weighed heavy on my mind, as does the guilt of the issue.

00:57:37.000 Can you absolve me from the guilt of working over Christmas, delivering letters, some of which I did steal as a matter of fact, that was wrong, if I know that was wrong, you shouldn't steal people.

00:57:45.000 It's still in effect now, you ought to be careful about that.

00:57:47.000 No, no, sorry about that.

00:57:48.000 There's no statute of limitations.

00:57:49.000 Is there no statute of limitations?

00:57:50.000 No.

00:57:50.000 In that case, I didn't nick that Frank Sinatra CD.

00:57:53.000 Double bumper Christmas special.

00:57:55.000 I wasn't properly educated on the issue at the time.

00:57:58.000 Well, scabs heal, that's the point.

00:58:00.000 Oh, that's nice!

00:58:01.000 And they drop off.

00:58:03.000 So it's about what happens next time.

00:58:04.000 The next time you're called to a bit of solidarity, whether it's industrial action or supporting a minority group or a campaign, that's where you get the absolution.

00:58:13.000 It's the work you do that gives you the better feeling about yourself.

00:58:16.000 And if you can support something that you may have found challenging in the past, as I've just described, That's even better.

00:58:22.000 It's easy to support things that everybody can support.

00:58:25.000 It's supporting people that really need help, that are really stigmatising society that's a really important bit.

00:58:31.000 So that's where it'll come from.

00:58:32.000 You forgive it?

00:58:34.000 What about the trains?

00:58:36.000 I do remember you telling me about fare evading at one point.

00:58:38.000 I did do quite a lot of fare evasion as well, but that was already privatised by then, Mick.

00:58:42.000 I'm not in any ordinary people.

00:58:44.000 That's not so bad. 0.70

00:58:45.000 I'd hide in the toilet, smoke my weed, keep my mouth shut, keep my head down.

00:58:48.000 That's another one you'd be up for.

00:58:51.000 That's three.

00:58:52.000 You're just giving yourself a list of misdemeanours.

00:58:54.000 That's three strikes. 0.94

00:58:55.000 I'm looking at a mandatory five.

00:58:57.000 Well, if Priti Patel finds out or one of these Tories, you could be banged up forever.

00:59:01.000 I'd like to say that I said all these things simply to impress Mick and for a little bit of a laugh.

00:59:06.000 Also, I guess what we have to recognise is that we have to recognise the significance of solidarity.

00:59:15.000 We have to overcome the idea that these movements are a thing of the past.

00:59:19.000 If you consider that the Amazon workers in Tilbury, near where I'm from, in Greys, I think had some action lately.

00:59:27.000 And of course, the invisible workers that are within big tech An emergent union movement, because frankly it's needed there, isn't it?

00:59:37.000 So wherever you're watching this in the world, if you're watching this in the United States of America, there is a necessity for this kind of infrastructure and for these kind of movements.

00:59:45.000 Yeah, I think there's an ABC union getting together in Silicon Valley, but outsourcing, the people not working directly, is a big scourge of working people.

00:59:53.000 And if you look in our communities, many people are suffering from that, and we've got to identify them.

00:59:57.000 And the unions such as in Amazon, the big unions like GMB and Unite, I've got to come into those places and help them.

01:00:03.000 In America, the Teamsters are trying to get it going, but there's little emergent unions as well.

01:00:08.000 So, we can't get into competition.

01:00:10.000 We've got to make sure that we bring everybody forward.

01:00:13.000 It is really difficult to organise.

01:00:15.000 People died for this stuff.

01:00:16.000 The American trade union history is really rich about how they organised it back there in Victorian times and before the Second World War.

01:00:24.000 And we've got to understand our heritage and take that forward so that we don't use those values.

01:00:29.000 Solidarity is great.

01:00:31.000 Everybody feeling good about taking on the man, as they used to be described, makes everyone feel better.

01:00:36.000 Remember who you are.

01:00:37.000 Remember where you're from.

01:00:39.000 Tomorrow, the Enough is Enough campaign will be across 50 cities.

01:00:43.000 150,000 people are already taking part.

01:00:45.000 Support the action tomorrow, and if you ever find yourself scabbing as a mailman, don't nick no letters.

01:00:51.000 That's just some of the things we've used, some of the things we've learned.

01:00:54.000 Thanks for joining us, Mick.

01:00:55.000 That was a fantastic conversation.

01:00:56.000 Best of luck tomorrow.

01:00:57.000 Hope that works out.

01:00:58.000 Now, we talked about Vandana Shiva briefly there, and of course, the underlying theme of everything we're discussing is community.

01:01:06.000 What kind of common unity can we find?

01:01:08.000 Every year, we hold a festival.

01:01:10.000 We did it for the first time in Hay On White.

01:01:12.000 It was fantastic, Mick.

01:01:13.000 I hope you'll come next year.

01:01:14.000 Wim Hof, Vandana Shiva, Eckhart Tolle will be joining us next year.

01:01:18.000 Have a look at the community festival.

01:01:20.000 It's taking place next year, next summer, but have a look at what happened last year and join us.

01:01:25.000 There are tickets available right now.

01:01:27.000 Check it out.

01:01:28.000 ♪ Welcome to community!

01:01:35.000 ♪ ♪

01:01:43.000 ♪ ♪

01:01:49.000 you Bye.

01:01:52.000 I hope you learned a thing or two there, Gareth, about what it means to come together in unity.

01:01:58.000 Yeah, I certainly did.

01:02:00.000 Yeah, I was going to ask Mick actually, but I thought I didn't want to interrupt.

01:02:03.000 Well, no, because I was doing much more of a grown-up conversation.

01:02:06.000 I thought it wasn't right for me to chip in.

01:02:06.000 I noticed.

01:02:08.000 All that money that we raise from doing things like that community, by the way, we use to support mental health charities and addiction charities like Friendly House in Los Angeles, BAC O'Connor in Stoke.

01:02:18.000 Both of those places are treatment centres that help people with alcohol and addiction issues.

01:02:23.000 But we also make individual grants, so if you know someone, or you yourself, ...are suffering from mental health issues or addiction issues, we'll help you.

01:02:29.000 Not like we'll give you 500 quid or 500 bucks so you can go and get off your nut.

01:02:33.000 We'll help you to get well.

01:02:35.000 Also, with the merchandise that we've got, look at this wonderful array of products.

01:02:38.000 All of the money that we raised, look at this wonderful array of products.

01:02:41.000 Look at this wonderful array of products.

01:02:44.000 All of the money that we raise goes to the Stay Free Foundation, which also just helps people with mental health issues and addiction issues.

01:02:51.000 So if you fancy a bit of that, there's a link in the description.

01:02:54.000 And why not join us for the community event if you fancy it?

01:03:00.000 Because I was concentrating on Mick there and making sure that we properly supported him, because he's a proper serious geezer, isn't he, Mick?

01:03:06.000 I mean, he's running an entire union.

01:03:08.000 I took my eye off the ball with the old Let me just see what kind of thing people are saying.

01:03:16.000 I mean, people are saying, yeah, unions, yeah, unions.

01:03:19.000 People are being all right.

01:03:19.000 That's good.

01:03:20.000 That's OK.

01:03:20.000 What's this?

01:03:22.000 I learned that some people are great salespeople.

01:03:24.000 I need to ask these people challenging questions, Russell.

01:03:27.000 What kind of challenging questions?

01:03:28.000 I feel like that was a pretty good interview, wasn't it?

01:03:30.000 I think so, Russ.

01:03:31.000 Yeah.

01:03:31.000 I mean, we didn't get to talk.

01:03:32.000 What I thought would be interesting to talk about would be The TV, the media coverage, because you mentioned the Indian protests and that's something that was just not covered over here in the same way that loads of protests around the world just don't seem to be covered by the media.

01:03:47.000 And I know that he has had some pretty tricky interviews with British press over the last year or so.

01:03:53.000 So why is there a demonization of coming together?

01:03:56.000 I mean, I think we probably know why.

01:03:58.000 Yeah, because anything that could possibly challenge establishment power has to be undermined and demonised.

01:04:04.000 I suppose that is why.

01:04:06.000 And when you see people in Sri Lanka, or the Indian farmer movement, or the Dutch farm movement, or the German farm movement, when you see that, when you start to recognise, hang about, we've got more in common with one another than we have with the centralised elite powers that seek to maintain their dominion.

01:04:23.000 Once those stories start to be told, It kind of is sort of encouraging. It's a bit rabble rousing. 0.99

01:04:28.000 Do you think I made a mistake telling him about the nicking them letters? 0.99

01:04:31.000 No, I don't think he's gonna do you for it. I think he's got more important things at the moment.

01:04:34.000 He's a bit busy isn't he? He's got a lot of time to deal with that.

01:04:36.000 Alright, now it's time for us to look at some fake comments to see what kind of stuff you're saying.

01:04:42.000 What have we got? What have people been sending us, Sue?

01:04:44.000 Fake comments.

01:04:45.000 Amy Amy has sent us a clip from some weather activity in Vegas.

01:04:50.000 Let's have a look.

01:04:54.000 Bloody hell.

01:04:56.000 This is it. Don Lemon's not going to like this.

01:04:59.000 He's going to be furious.

01:05:00.000 Also, they do say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but it looks like it's actually going to be carried out there in a terrible deluge.

01:05:07.000 What else is going on in World of Comments?

01:05:09.000 What else are people sending in?

01:05:11.000 Peter has sent us a clip, actually, of the Apple VP guy.

01:05:15.000 Oh yeah!

01:05:18.000 Think about this, when you consider an executive at Apple, a big tech company, slick Silicon Valley executives, possibly wearing a little bit of cashmere, some cool horn-rimmed specs, this is a proper exec who understands big tech.

01:05:35.000 Have a look at this geezer though, in reality. 0.51

01:05:37.000 Good sir, your car's awesome, what do you do for a living?

01:05:45.000 There's too many things about this clip that I'm worried about.

01:05:54.000 Firstly, there's his outfit.

01:05:56.000 Why is he wearing that mad Union Jack thing?

01:05:59.000 The red shoes.

01:06:00.000 And what about his cackling co-pilot?

01:06:02.000 His cackling cohort there?

01:06:04.000 That sort of shrill, terrifying racket.

01:06:07.000 Who is this geezer? 0.79

01:06:08.000 Here, I'm looking to get into that.

01:06:10.000 Also, if you're interested, I've got a hell of a dental plan.

01:06:13.000 Oh, good!

01:06:14.000 You do it all, you do it all.

01:06:16.000 And you participate in this activity.

01:06:19.000 Thank you so much.

01:06:20.000 I would call that a macabre interaction.

01:06:23.000 Yeah, she laughs at literally anything.

01:06:24.000 Yeah, she does.

01:06:25.000 The only thing it'd be like to be with someone who laughed at everything you said.

01:06:27.000 He undermines it.

01:06:28.000 Yeah, it does, after a while.

01:06:30.000 You start to lose the treasure.

01:06:32.000 Young Putin, what was your main concern about that?

01:06:34.000 Him sort of getting out of the car.

01:06:36.000 Yeah.

01:06:38.000 It's not a very nice way of getting out of a car.

01:06:38.000 500 grand.

01:06:40.000 Yeah, if you've got a 500 grand car, you don't want something that you have to put your back out every time you emerge or enter the vehicle, do you?

01:06:47.000 What else have we got?

01:06:49.000 Grandma Nancy has a clip from Egypt.

01:06:54.000 Ah, yeah.

01:06:55.000 Now, this is about, like, tomb raiding, isn't it?

01:06:58.000 It's literal tomb raiding.

01:06:59.000 But you've got some concerns about that, of course.

01:07:02.000 Well, yeah, absolutely, yeah.

01:07:04.000 We know from movies, don't we, that it never ends well when this happens.

01:07:07.000 If you think of films like The Mummy and that, it's not like, oh, we opened that tomb and it was really brilliant and we all learned a valuable lesson.

01:07:13.000 Or Indiana Jones and his various, like, crusades and stuff.

01:07:17.000 Whenever they start pulling, like, a concrete lid, obviously it won't be concrete, it's a relatively modern thing, but, like, a slab off the top of stuff, it's never like someone comes out and goes, I've got some lottery numbers!

01:07:27.000 It's always like a terrifying green mist that eviscerates you and melts your skin and that.

01:07:27.000 Is it?

01:07:32.000 I've got some permission to do it as well.

01:07:33.000 What right have you got?

01:07:34.000 That's kind of the point of a tomb, isn't it?

01:07:36.000 That it stays shut.

01:07:37.000 What's the statute of limitations?

01:07:39.000 Like, you know, there was a point where that was a pharaoh, presumably, right?

01:07:42.000 Or someone important enough to get buried in gold.

01:07:45.000 Like, what's it say?

01:07:46.000 When's it, okay, I'll go and do the queen.

01:07:48.000 What is it, a week?

01:07:49.000 Two weeks?

01:07:50.000 What's the statute?

01:07:51.000 Yeah.

01:07:51.000 Like, you know, like, when's the time?

01:07:53.000 When's it all right to do it?

01:07:54.000 Right, get back out of there! 0.73

01:07:56.000 Like, for the grieving relatives, I'll say leave them in there.

01:07:59.000 But let's have a look, see what it's like in there now, if we're going to do a tomb raid.

01:08:02.000 Okay, let's have a look.

01:08:16.000 It's a giant garlic bread, isn't it?

01:08:18.000 It's a giant garlic bread.

01:08:19.000 It's like a world record attempt for a garlic bread.

01:08:22.000 Yeah, like when you see, like, in this small town, every year they make a massive pizza.

01:08:27.000 They do that story.

01:08:27.000 Sometimes you see that in the news, when someone makes a massive... It's the world's biggest paella!

01:08:33.000 This is just like 2,500-year-old garlic bread that you get ready-made.

01:08:38.000 The oven.

01:08:39.000 Fair enough.

01:08:39.000 Stuffed crust, all that kind of stuff.

01:08:41.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, I am a vegan.

01:08:43.000 Let's have a look at this as well.

01:08:44.000 Some of you will have seen this story.

01:08:45.000 This is the bloke who, I think he's a CEO or he's high up at Beyond Meat.

01:08:50.000 Check out, you know, you know that he bit someone's face off, didn't he?

01:08:52.000 Let's have a look.

01:08:53.000 Doug Ramsey was arrested over the weekend for allegedly biting a man's nose after an altercation following a college football game in Arkansas.

01:09:01.000 He was charged with terroristic threatening and third-degree battery.

01:09:04.000 A lot of these people that are running sort of modern corporations, they're savage, aren't they?

01:09:10.000 Yeah.

01:09:11.000 There's all this leery geezer, I'll grab people's bums for a living!

01:09:15.000 Look at my motor!

01:09:16.000 And then him biting off the middle of people's faces.

01:09:19.000 He looks like he's left a bit of it in that bap at the top there.

01:09:22.000 Yeah, no, I don't fancy it.

01:09:23.000 That's put me at, like, yeah, it does somewhat challenge the idea that Beyond Meat is an ethical alternative when the people that are running the place bite chunks out of people's heads when the mood takes them. 0.97

01:09:34.000 Absolutely bloody ridiculous. 0.92

01:09:36.000 It looks like a Charles Insoul, doesn't it? 0.99

01:09:39.000 That does not look like bacon to me.

01:09:41.000 Not that I'm saying we should be eating bacon, but... What do you mean?

01:09:43.000 It looks too much like Fisher-Price bacon, like children's toy bacon.

01:09:48.000 Yeah, fair enough.

01:09:49.000 Well, as you know, I'm a vegan person and you know like some vegans will only eat like stews or whatever?

01:09:57.000 Me, I like pretend meat.

01:09:59.000 For me, that was a massive breakthrough when that happened because I was bullied into veganism.

01:10:03.000 I didn't really want to be a vegan, I just sort of had to do it because people just kept going on at me the whole time.

01:10:08.000 Do you know that they can grow it in a lab?

01:10:10.000 They'll just grow actual meat in a lab, like the same way as they would grow an ear on a mouse's back.

01:10:16.000 That's right.

01:10:17.000 So do you fancy that?

01:10:18.000 They did it with mouse's backs to start with, didn't they?

01:10:20.000 Little bits of meat.

01:10:21.000 Chicken drumstick.

01:10:22.000 Yeah, just grow a little drumstick on a mouse's back.

01:10:25.000 I don't eat anything off of a mouse's back.

01:10:27.000 No.

01:10:28.000 That's one of... nothing from a... That's your policy.

01:10:30.000 It's always been your policy.

01:10:31.000 Is that bit on the mouse's back?

01:10:33.000 Has that come out of an ancient tomb?

01:10:34.000 I don't want it, you can bloody well keep it.

01:10:36.000 Yeah, I won't get involved with it.

01:10:38.000 Well, is that essentially the end of the news today?

01:10:41.000 It seems like it.

01:10:43.000 Might I have any more comments, or?

01:10:44.000 Well, yeah, we'll stick up the comments instead of this.

01:10:49.000 There's a little bit of Justin Trudeau.

01:10:51.000 I wouldn't mind having a look, because Justin Trudeau has been visiting Canada.

01:10:55.000 We've not really got time to get into the Nord Stream pipeline, but we're going to cover that in depth on Monday.

01:11:01.000 That Nord Stream pipeline, that's dodgy.

01:11:03.000 Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments what you think about it.

01:11:05.000 Something shady is going on there.

01:11:07.000 People, well when I say people, I mean NATO, NATO suspects sabotage.

01:11:12.000 But who's done that sabotage?

01:11:14.000 It's a gas pipeline whodunit.

01:11:16.000 Who is it that done it?

01:11:17.000 Was it Russia?

01:11:18.000 Was it America?

01:11:20.000 We're going to talk about that in depth on Monday.

01:11:23.000 Firstly, before we go though, let's have a quick look at Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, boy band member, occasional dresser-upper, is in London and identifiable by that London bus in the background.

01:11:36.000 Let's have a little look at him having a little sing song.

01:11:39.000 What he's got is the vibe of a person who thinks they're good at singing.

01:11:50.000 Doesn't he?

01:11:50.000 Yeah.

01:11:51.000 He fancies himself as a singer, doesn't he?

01:11:52.000 He does.

01:11:53.000 Because he's sort of a bit... He's pleased with himself, isn't he?

01:11:57.000 He's buzzing.

01:11:57.000 He's quite stage school, isn't he?

01:11:59.000 He's high on his own supply, isn't he?

01:12:00.000 He's whiffing up his own little farts at that baby grand, isn't he?

01:12:04.000 is enjoying it a little bit too much.

01:12:06.000 It's a loss, and it will be, lost not to be found.

01:12:14.000 What I feel like with the Trudeaus, the Macrons, the what I call nice hair politicians, 1.00

01:12:20.000 is they're very good at sort of posing and that their discourse and declarations are sort of on

01:12:26.000 point.

01:12:27.000 Fairness, justice, kindness, but it seems like a sort of an odd lubricant for new tyranny in effect is what's happening because the way them truckers were treated, The bank accounts being frozen, the sort of inability for them to have democratic recourse.

01:12:42.000 That's why I love someone like Vandana Shiva, who'll come on, tell it how it is.

01:12:46.000 Like, not willing to be divided along racial lines or cultural lines.

01:12:51.000 Recognising, ultimately, that what we're interested in is the ability to run our own lives as individuals.

01:12:56.000 The ability to run our own communities collectively.

01:12:59.000 That's why on this channel, we don't care if you love Trump, we don't care if you hate Trump.

01:13:03.000 We don't care if you love Biden, we don't care if you loathe Biden.

01:13:06.000 We would suggest that in spite of these superficial divisions, we have more in common with one another than separates us.

01:13:13.000 And if we're willing to overlook these exacerbated differences, we will be able to formulate something new and beautiful.

01:13:20.000 Remember, they fear nothing more than ordinary people coming together in pursuit of a common goal.

01:13:25.000 I'm not suggesting centralised power or some crazy one-world government.

01:13:29.000 I think more democracy, more dissolution of power, more ability to run your own life and run your own communities.

01:13:36.000 That's what I'm interested in.

01:13:37.000 That's what gets me up in the morning in a badged denim shirt.

01:13:40.000 It's my ongoing goal to create a global utopia where people are free to be whoever the hell it is they are.

01:13:46.000 Are you going to add any more badges?

01:13:48.000 Yes, I will, over time.

01:13:49.000 You're like a Cob Scout. 0.99

01:13:51.000 Do you think that I am like that?

01:13:53.000 I used to collect budgies as a cub scout.

01:13:53.000 A little bit.

01:13:54.000 Of course you did.

01:13:55.000 I bet you was a right good little cub.

01:13:56.000 I was, actually.

01:13:57.000 I was pretty good.

01:13:58.000 A remnant disciple of Jesus.

01:14:00.000 Russell is vegan.

01:14:01.000 Now it makes sense why it is looped.

01:14:03.000 Yeah, I do.

01:14:03.000 I am a vegan.

01:14:04.000 River swimmer.

01:14:05.000 Lizard people like hormone-blocked people. 0.53

01:14:08.000 Impossible child food.

01:14:10.000 J-nobody.

01:14:11.000 We need Jesus, folks.

01:14:12.000 Yep, I love Jesus.

01:14:14.000 Nerd far away.

01:14:15.000 I will not eat the bugs. 0.59

01:14:16.000 I'm a meat and a wheat eater.

01:14:18.000 See, I'm a vegan, but I don't mind about other people's food.

01:14:20.000 We can't go around killing each other over whether or not they have an ham sandwich.

01:14:24.000 Brilliant.

01:14:24.000 All right.

01:14:29.000 So do you know what happens now?

01:14:33.000 Our live stream here on Rumble for today is over.

01:14:38.000 But if you're a member of the Stay Free AF community, that's our little membership community, there's a link in the description that tells you how to join.

01:14:45.000 If you do join it, you get special access to live events that we do.

01:14:51.000 You'll hear loads of podcasts that we've already done with fantastic people.

01:14:55.000 Elon is coming on soon.

01:14:57.000 Donald will be along shortly.

01:14:59.000 AOC, why the hell not?

01:15:01.000 We want to have conversations with people across the political, religious, and cultural spectrum.

01:15:06.000 We want to find out what the truth is.

01:15:07.000 That's why you're going to love our show on Monday, where we're talking about the Nord Stream pipeline and looking at, like, there's some amazing evidence.

01:15:14.000 Joe Biden, before we go, I'm just going to tease this with you.

01:15:17.000 Joe Biden said, like, we're always showing you, like, the silly side of Biden, because it's a side... Biden! 0.91

01:15:23.000 Biden! 0.96

01:15:26.000 Joe, just keep it down.

01:15:28.000 That's the side of the man that I enjoy.

01:15:30.000 But take a moment to look at Sinister Joe.

01:15:32.000 This is in February, earlier this year, when talking about the likelihood of conflict with Russia and the potential energy crisis that may ensue.

01:15:43.000 Check out what Joe Biden had to say.

01:15:46.000 Let me answer this first question first.

01:15:48.000 If Germany... He's so pleased with himself. 0.94

01:15:51.000 First question first.

01:15:51.000 Yeah, do answer the first question first.

01:15:53.000 It's not question roulette.

01:15:55.000 I'm gonna do the ninth question, then the third.

01:15:58.000 Just do the questions in the order they come in.

01:16:01.000 If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border.

01:16:08.000 We know what invade means!

01:16:09.000 That means.

01:16:12.000 What does that mean, invade?

01:16:13.000 Is that some sort of party, is it?

01:16:15.000 Some sort of dinner and dance?

01:16:17.000 Of Ukraine, again. 0.90

01:16:19.000 Then there will be no longer Nord Stream 2.

01:16:25.000 We will bring an end to it.

01:16:26.000 There won't be a Nord Stream 2, OK.

01:16:29.000 But how will you do that?

01:16:31.000 How?

01:16:31.000 How are you going to do it?

01:16:33.000 Exactly.

01:16:34.000 Since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control.

01:16:39.000 We will, I promise you, we'll be able to do it.

01:16:44.000 Sinister!

01:16:46.000 Spooky!

01:16:47.000 Well, I promise you we'll be able to do it.

01:16:49.000 And all of a sudden, our pipelines are blowing up.

01:16:52.000 Was it Russia?

01:16:52.000 Was it America?

01:16:53.000 We're certainly not saying it was anybody.

01:16:55.000 We're certainly not saying that America had good reason to do it.

01:16:58.000 Or that Condoleezza Rice, as long ago as 2014, was espousing interesting stuff.

01:17:03.000 You've got to watch our show Monday.

01:17:04.000 It's going to be fantastic.

01:17:05.000 Allegedly.

01:17:07.000 The show will be fantastic.

01:17:08.000 I'm not alleging that.

01:17:09.000 That's absolutely true.

01:17:10.000 We've got some fantastic guests coming up next week.

01:17:13.000 Wim Hof is going to be on the show, so we'll be doing a little bit of breath work together.

01:17:17.000 Ex-MI5 intelligence officer Annie McMahon.

01:17:21.000 She's going to tell us stuff about spies.

01:17:22.000 She's a real-life James Bond.

01:17:24.000 Is she?

01:17:25.000 She is.

01:17:26.000 Do you reckon, like, as well as the other stuff?

01:17:26.000 She must be.

01:17:28.000 Because I like, you know, Bond, when he's not doing espionage, it's the swit-swoo, isn't it?

01:17:32.000 It's the down the casino.

01:17:33.000 It's the winky-winky.

01:17:34.000 I just mean a single wink, really.

01:17:36.000 Also joining us on the show is Stella Assange, who's related to...

01:17:41.000 By virtue of a marital ceremony, Julian Assange, who's banged up in Belmarsh, Nick, right now, is seemingly for revealing information that is at odds with the agenda of, you know, powerful government.

01:17:53.000 So we'll talk to Stella Assange next week.

01:17:56.000 So there's loads, loads of stuff that you ain't gonna get.

01:17:59.000 on the mainstream media.

01:18:01.000 We're going to do the best to tell you the truth.

01:18:03.000 We don't care who you are or where you came from.

01:18:05.000 We care about who you are now.

01:18:07.000 We care about bringing you together.

01:18:10.000 New unions.

01:18:11.000 Accessing unitary forces to a challenge.

01:18:13.000 Establishment.

01:18:14.000 Elite.

01:18:15.000 Power.

01:18:16.000 Someone's got to do it.

01:18:16.000 It's going to be you, isn't it?

01:18:17.000 Who else is going to do it?

01:18:18.000 Do you think that Joe Biden's going to do it?

01:18:20.000 Who's going to do it?

01:18:21.000 Who's going to help you?

01:18:22.000 Oh, oh, you've got to help yourself, don't you?

01:18:23.000 You're going to need some sort of system.

01:18:25.000 You're going to need a little bit of help.

01:18:26.000 All right, we're going to wrap this up now, but if you're a member of the Stay Free AF community, we're going to answer some of your questions in a minute.
