Stay Free - Russel Brand - Stay Free with Russell Brand #004 - They Want A Reset. We Need A Revolution. What's It Gunna Be?

00:00:00.000 I'm going to go ahead and close the window.

00:00:28.000 I'm going to close the window.

00:13:33.000 I'm all to you, so I'm looking for the steel In this video, you're going to see the sea turtle.

00:13:52.000 Hey, all right.

00:13:52.000 Welcome to Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:13:54.000 We're streaming live all across this planet, which is called Earth.

00:13:58.000 There's other ones.

00:13:58.000 It's just one of the planets.

00:14:00.000 But if you're watching this in New York, it's about midday.

00:14:02.000 It's 9 a.m.

00:14:03.000 in Los Angeles, and it's 5 in the United Kingdom.

00:14:06.000 If you're watching us on the stream, comment.

00:14:09.000 Get involved in the chat.

00:14:10.000 Like Simply Nina Valentina Nova B says, whoa.

00:14:15.000 Just a simple exclamation there.

00:14:17.000 Just a simple exclamation of woe.

00:14:19.000 A sordid echo.

00:14:21.000 Oh, the WF is the same as the Fed.

00:14:23.000 I see you, WS84, commentating.

00:14:27.000 Patriot Sean says, we need a revolution.

00:14:29.000 But when?

00:14:30.000 We surrendered out of... Oh, the Count of Havoc.

00:14:32.000 Yeah, okay, okay, Patriot Sean.

00:14:35.000 Listen, the reason we're here, because we are uncensored and we can say whatever we want.

00:14:40.000 Guided only, in fact, by principles like kindness.

00:14:43.000 Love and awareness of continuing unity.

00:14:46.000 Thanks for joining us on this stream.

00:14:47.000 We've got a fantastic show.

00:14:49.000 Well, I think it's going to be fantastic.

00:14:50.000 It's difficult to tell because it's live.

00:14:51.000 So it could be insane.

00:14:54.000 The question that's governing the show, that's bracketing the show is they want a reset.

00:14:59.000 We need a revolution.

00:15:00.000 What's it going to be?

00:15:01.000 We've got Daniel Pinchbeck joining us in the studio.

00:15:03.000 He's written a bunch of books.

00:15:04.000 I would say that Daniel Pinchbeck is a kind of contemporary shaman, a latter day beatnik.

00:15:11.000 He's a sort of a A trend spotter, a commentator.

00:15:15.000 In many ways, I'd describe him the same way as I'd describe Gareth Roy, the producer of the show.

00:15:19.000 Oh, that's very nice of you.

00:15:21.000 You're wearing a temporary microphone because your microphone went down.

00:15:23.000 You're absolutely right.

00:15:24.000 You're just using the lapel mic.

00:15:26.000 Let me know if you can hear Gareth properly.

00:15:28.000 And Virgil Fitzgerald, you should check out Dr. Livergood.

00:15:31.000 He's a nutrition and lifestyle specialist that talks about how in the US we don't have a system that maintains health, but one that treats sickness and disease.

00:15:38.000 I think you're right about that, Virgil.

00:15:39.000 They're going quick on the comments, aren't they?

00:15:40.000 They're going quick.

00:15:41.000 They're like lightning.

00:15:42.000 Straight off the bat.

00:15:43.000 No, like, how you doing?

00:15:44.000 You know.

00:15:45.000 No, they go hard.

00:15:46.000 Straight in.

00:15:47.000 Lebanon TN says boring most days.

00:15:50.000 W Bateman.

00:15:51.000 Principles.

00:15:51.000 I love it.

00:15:51.000 Can you guys hear Gareth properly?

00:15:53.000 Let me know if you can hear Gareth properly.

00:15:54.000 We're going to change it in a minute when we get an opportunity to.

00:15:58.000 Anyway, we start the show by giving you an understanding of mainstream media news, in case you're not watching mainstream media now, in case you find it like an intoxicant because you don't trust it no more.

00:16:09.000 Fewer people are, Ross.

00:16:11.000 Fewer people are.

00:16:11.000 What?

00:16:12.000 Fewer and fewer people are watching the mainstream news because of a simple lack of trust.

00:16:16.000 That's it.

00:16:17.000 But do you ever watch it, just for a bit?

00:16:18.000 It seems mad if you put it on.

00:16:20.000 If a monarch dies or something, you think, I better watch the news, see what's going on.

00:16:23.000 The whole atmosphere of the news is a bit intense.

00:16:26.000 Like, our country, England, they talk to you like this on the news.

00:16:29.000 Welcome to the news!

00:16:29.000 Hello!

00:16:30.000 You feel like you're in trouble.

00:16:31.000 Like, they're in charge of you on the news, innit?

00:16:34.000 They still talk down to you a bit.

00:16:35.000 In America, it's, Hi!

00:16:36.000 Where are your friends?

00:16:37.000 But, you know, there's a sort of a strange presumption.

00:16:39.000 It's a man and woman.

00:16:40.000 They're your next door neighbours.

00:16:42.000 That's the general assumption of it.

00:16:42.000 They're better than you.

00:16:44.000 Don't do that, guys.

00:16:45.000 Don't have a little chat in my peripheral vision there.

00:16:46.000 That's a...

00:16:48.000 It's distracting for me, if you don't mind.

00:16:50.000 Right, let me do the normal news now.

00:16:53.000 Move over there, if you don't mind.

00:16:56.000 Sorry about this, I'm just commenting on... Because what it is, is this show is all new at the moment.

00:17:00.000 They're not figments of your imagination, are they, those?

00:17:03.000 Well, as far as I can see, there's John Lennon.

00:17:07.000 He's stood just there and he's talking to Prabhupada, the founder of the Hare Krishna movement.

00:17:13.000 The two of them are there.

00:17:14.000 They're saying, we are preparing you, Russell, for this great day, for this great revolution.

00:17:18.000 You're doing extremely well.

00:17:20.000 We're pleased with you.

00:17:21.000 Over here joining us is young Putin.

00:17:24.000 So cool because of his similarity to Vladimir Putin, not in terms of his personality, in terms of Well, it's his political beliefs.

00:17:30.000 No, it's physical.

00:17:32.000 It's his physical appearance.

00:17:34.000 That is young Putin.

00:17:35.000 And Subi is here also.

00:17:36.000 They have jobs in our team.

00:17:38.000 Those jobs should come up now on the screen as a graphic.

00:17:42.000 Look at that!

00:17:44.000 We have a pink crow.

00:17:45.000 This is our second week of the show.

00:17:46.000 This is the first Monday we've ever done.

00:17:48.000 So it's like straight after a weekend.

00:17:49.000 So there's so much news.

00:17:51.000 And I'm going to tell you it now so you don't miss out.

00:17:52.000 But later on in the show, we're doing a fantastic item.

00:17:56.000 What does that item talk about, Gal?

00:17:59.000 It's about the pipeline, isn't it?

00:18:00.000 Nord Stream.

00:18:00.000 Nord Stream 1 and 2.

00:18:02.000 Which is your favourite?

00:18:03.000 I loved Nord Stream 1.

00:18:05.000 I see that as the original OG pipeline.

00:18:07.000 That's the best pipeline.

00:18:08.000 For me, you only need one pipeline.

00:18:10.000 That's Nord Stream 1.

00:18:11.000 I consider Nord Stream 2 to be a Johnny Come Lately pipeline.

00:18:15.000 It's a bad egg.

00:18:16.000 That's probably what that smell is.

00:18:18.000 We're asking Nord Stream 2.

00:18:20.000 Who done it?

00:18:21.000 It's a geopolitical who done it?

00:18:23.000 Was it a simple twist of fate?

00:18:25.000 Was it the Russians or was it the Americans? 0.74

00:18:27.000 Let us know in the chat.

00:18:28.000 Daniel Pinchbeck's coming on the show.

00:18:30.000 I told you that later.

00:18:31.000 I'm gonna be asking him.

00:18:32.000 Who done it?

00:18:33.000 That's what I'm gonna be asking him.

00:18:35.000 Do you have a hunch yet?

00:18:37.000 Do I have a hunch who done it?

00:18:38.000 Who done it?

00:18:39.000 Yeah, I've got a hunch.

00:18:40.000 What, you want to know my hunch?

00:18:41.000 Not yet.

00:18:42.000 Save it, I reckon.

00:18:43.000 Because I do an item later in the show, Gal, called Here's the News.

00:18:46.000 No, Here's the Effing News.

00:18:47.000 And I will relay my hunches there.

00:18:47.000 Oh, OK.

00:18:50.000 But they're not just hunches, Gal.

00:18:52.000 They're based on research.

00:18:53.000 Meta-journalism.

00:18:54.000 I've put together... You don't know about this, so I don't like to worry you with it.

00:18:58.000 We put together, like, clips of Condoleezza Rice in 2014.

00:19:02.000 She's saying some stuff that's very interesting.

00:19:05.000 I've got Joe Biden, who I believe is King of America.

00:19:08.000 You can tell me in the chat if that's correct.

00:19:10.000 Him saying some stuff way back in February.

00:19:13.000 Where did you pull the clips from, Ross?

00:19:15.000 Alright, the truth is, Gareth does a lot of the hard work on this show, alright?

00:19:19.000 Because he produces the show.

00:19:21.000 I just turn up here in a heavily badged denim garment and a sparkly necklace and essentially convey it to you, intuitively and as best I can.

00:19:29.000 But, I would say it's a pretty high standard.

00:19:32.000 The news now!

00:19:35.000 Where is the news?

00:19:36.000 Is that on page one?

00:19:37.000 I don't have that news.

00:19:38.000 There's no news here!

00:19:40.000 I've lost the news!

00:19:41.000 Where is the news?

00:19:43.000 You've not given me the news page, you've got to give me the basic details.

00:19:47.000 Great, Gareth, you read it out.

00:19:48.000 I'll press the gong, you read it out.

00:19:50.000 Russian officials criticise retreat from key Donetsk city after Putin annexed region.

00:19:55.000 The thing was with that annexing, back on me, the thing is with that annexing is that they hadn't actually done it.

00:20:02.000 It's like me now saying, right, I've annexed Disney World, I've annexed Chessington World of Adventures, Legoland, that's mine, and then people just went, they're ours still, we've still got those, we've got military presence, we've got all the infrastructure, you've not done your work.

00:20:16.000 Yeah, it was embarrassing for Putin that, because he announced it and they did that handshake, which we all liked the other day.

00:20:21.000 I loved that handshake, the Never Never Break Up Five Way Backstreet Boys handshake.

00:20:26.000 Yeah, they did that the other day, all happy and that, and now they've had to admit, oh now we've had to retreat.

00:20:31.000 They've annexed nothing.

00:20:32.000 Good job he doesn't have his hand on the button or anything.

00:20:36.000 He uses those hands willy-nilly.

00:20:37.000 What if he uses those hands, uh, young Putin?

00:20:40.000 Here you are.

00:20:41.000 Thank you, mate, for the news.

00:20:43.000 Although I quite liked watching you read it.

00:20:45.000 So I'll do another gong and you do the next story.

00:20:48.000 Pope slams Putin's nuclear threats as absurd.

00:20:51.000 Because a nuclear threat, I suppose, is an absurd thing to do.

00:20:54.000 It's absurd.

00:20:55.000 I don't know if I'd use that word.

00:20:56.000 Maybe it translates differently in Italian or something.

00:20:59.000 It's a bit glib, you would say.

00:21:00.000 Maybe.

00:21:02.000 I should blob the planet.

00:21:03.000 Oh, how absurd! 1.00

00:21:05.000 Don't be ridiculous, Gerald! 0.99

00:21:07.000 You're not blowing up anything! 1.00

00:21:09.000 You're going to sit down next to me and treat me like a fucking wife! 1.00

00:21:14.000 That's what it's like, isn't it? 1.00

00:21:16.000 Absurd's the wrong word.

00:21:17.000 It's devastating and catastrophic.

00:21:20.000 Although, if you are the Pope and therefore the leader of the Vatican and the Catholic Church, some things have gone on within that little organisation.

00:21:28.000 Some absurd things.

00:21:29.000 That was a bit absurd.

00:21:30.000 What exactly are you doing in that vestibule?

00:21:32.000 That's absurd!

00:21:34.000 Ah, it's a bit of fun.

00:21:35.000 Passes the time, mind your own business.

00:21:37.000 Just the wafers in the mouth, for Christ's sake!

00:21:41.000 Trust drops tax cut for top UK earners to fend off rebellion.

00:21:45.000 In our country, we've done some economic stuff that is... I don't know, Gal.

00:21:49.000 I mean, I don't... Listen, I've never claimed to be an economist, but it seems like some peculiar choices have been made, haven't they?

00:21:55.000 Yeah, they have.

00:21:56.000 Yeah, I mean, the pound's dropping ever so fast, isn't it?

00:21:58.000 Do you care when the pound drops?

00:22:00.000 I don't... I'll be honest, I don't know much, but I don't think it does well for us.

00:22:03.000 I don't think it's good.

00:22:04.000 I've always been a loyal supporter of the pound.

00:22:07.000 I love that little guy, the pound.

00:22:09.000 And I don't like to see... Pound.

00:22:11.000 I'm right behind you.

00:22:12.000 Do you know what I mean?

00:22:13.000 No, I back the pound.

00:22:14.000 We want a strong pound, don't we? 0.83

00:22:15.000 You want that pound robust, muscular, almost complacent, arrogant.

00:22:20.000 You want an insouciant pound.

00:22:22.000 You don't want an insouciant pound, because that's a French word.

00:22:24.000 And then it might as well be a franc or un euro.

00:22:27.000 No.

00:22:28.000 We never went for that euro, did we?

00:22:29.000 No, we didn't have any of that.

00:22:30.000 Get lost, we're not doing an euro.

00:22:32.000 Anyway, Liz Truss has become so, I don't know, she reeks so much of disappointment and failure that even, like, we've got a down in, our, the synoptic of British power is ten, yeah.

00:22:45.000 That's right.

00:22:45.000 I used the word synoptic in a sentence.

00:22:47.000 So get with it, motherfuckers. 1.00

00:22:49.000 So the synoptic of British power is number 10 down the street. 1.00

00:22:52.000 Here is number 10 down the street.

00:22:53.000 He's got his own type of cat.

00:22:55.000 And like, you know, even prime ministers come and go, but the cat, the cat stays. 0.99

00:22:58.000 Like remember when you have a president and that president's got a dog and they go, Oh, it sucks.

00:23:02.000 The cat was the first to point out that the invasion of Iraq was illegal. 0.93

00:23:07.000 But they bring it into the news.

00:23:08.000 Don't they? 0.99

00:23:09.000 Sucks. 1.00

00:23:09.000 Sometimes. 1.00

00:23:10.000 The cat was one of them.

00:23:11.000 Right.

00:23:12.000 And I think the Barack Obama's had a dog.

00:23:15.000 And I think, what did Trump have?

00:23:16.000 He had something, didn't he?

00:23:18.000 I don't know what Trump had.

00:23:20.000 He had a lady wife, didn't he? 0.76

00:23:20.000 I don't know. 0.76

00:23:23.000 So we got a cat.

00:23:23.000 He had one of those.

00:23:25.000 And look at the cat, like Liz Truss, God love her. 1.00

00:23:27.000 She tries to play this VT.

00:23:29.000 Have a look at Liz Truss getting ignored by a cack. 1.00

00:23:36.000 She's doing that photo op.

00:23:37.000 She already looks a bit embarrassed.

00:23:38.000 She's doing the handshake.

00:23:40.000 Oh, look at him.

00:23:41.000 Do the cat now.

00:23:42.000 Might be friends with it.

00:23:46.000 Okay, go on. 1.00

00:23:47.000 This is... Fuck off! 1.00

00:23:49.000 The cat made, like, a sort of a hard choice straight away, like, not having anything to do with it. 1.00

00:23:54.000 She made a mistake in going down for the stroke, though, I think. 0.80

00:23:54.000 Yeah. 0.80

00:23:57.000 It was doing okay, and then... It's because it was an intention stroke.

00:24:01.000 Cats are very intuitive creatures.

00:24:02.000 They know if you're not stroking them with a good heart.

00:24:05.000 That's true.

00:24:06.000 It's interesting, Jordan Peterson, who many of you will admire, I think does a whole chapter in one of his books of why you should always stop in the street to stroke a cat.

00:24:12.000 I don't remember reading that bit of Dr. Peterson's work, but I imagine that it's partly because you should remain sort of intuitive and connected and all that kind of stuff, but... I hope it's for that reason.

00:24:23.000 Yeah, I'd like to somehow bias the cat, influence the cat, or trick the cat.

00:24:28.000 But, like, if it's on Downing Street, be careful, because that cat, it may not be on board with your, um, what looks to me like a PR stunt.

00:24:38.000 Tinder date turns into free grand armed robbery carried out by a criminal couple.

00:24:42.000 That's a nightmare bit of news, isn't it?

00:24:43.000 Where you've gone on a Tinder date, possibly with a palpitating heart and hopes of romance, and then you're robbed.

00:24:51.000 Yeah.

00:24:52.000 I mean, I read the story.

00:24:53.000 It's actually quite troubling.

00:24:54.000 Oh.

00:24:55.000 What is it like?

00:24:57.000 I think in the days of the war between Britain and Ireland, this was known as a honey trap.

00:25:02.000 And I feel like British Secret Services, we've got Annie Macken, former MI5 agent, coming on the show next week.

00:25:08.000 She's going to be telling us about the skullduggery that goes on within Secret Services.

00:25:12.000 They used to do these things called honey traps.

00:25:13.000 And a honey trap was, they would put an attractive person forward, I think usually a female, and that female would lure people in, and then there would be terrible consequences.

00:25:23.000 So this was like a honey trap.

00:25:24.000 Is that like that?

00:25:24.000 Yep.

00:25:25.000 Simple as that.

00:25:28.000 Bruce Willis denies selling face.

00:25:30.000 That's weird news.

00:25:33.000 Prince William becomes his dad's own landlord and will get 700 grand a year from his king's beloved Highgrove home.

00:25:40.000 That's weird that the prince has become the king's landlord.

00:25:44.000 That's like when you've got an uncle what's younger than you in a family.

00:25:49.000 You know, like when your dad has another baby and now there's an uncle.

00:25:53.000 Who's this?

00:25:54.000 It's my little baby uncle.

00:25:56.000 He's going to take me fishing, isn't he?

00:25:58.000 He's nothing but a baby.

00:26:00.000 Well now the king himself has got his own son as a landlord.

00:26:03.000 It's a topsy-turvy family.

00:26:04.000 Yeah, it's mainly because that's Charles' favourite abode apparently.

00:26:08.000 He likes that one, does he?

00:26:09.000 He likes that one.

00:26:10.000 Apparently he's going to live in modest living quarters at Buckingham Palace, which I think is a great sentence.

00:26:18.000 Oh my God, look at your house!

00:26:19.000 It's enormous!

00:26:20.000 Yeah, but I only live in these modest living quarters.

00:26:23.000 In a palace?

00:26:23.000 What?

00:26:24.000 Funded by the taxpayer?

00:26:27.000 Stolen from around the world?

00:26:28.000 Look, you're ruining this! 0.96

00:26:29.000 Look, just this humble little suite here.

00:26:32.000 Your bed's made of gold!

00:26:34.000 No, please, my slippers.

00:26:36.000 Where did you get them?

00:26:37.000 We stole them from the Ottoman Empire. 0.99

00:26:39.000 And your hat, what's that made of?

00:26:41.000 Solid gold.

00:26:41.000 And that jewel in the middle, stolen from India.

00:26:44.000 Yeah, modest is not a word that you can apply to the quarters in Buckingham Palace, can you, for God's sake?

00:26:51.000 Also, can you wear socks and sandals?

00:26:55.000 I've got some news as well.

00:26:56.000 And that's sort of fashion week news.

00:26:58.000 It's interesting, isn't it?

00:26:59.000 Because on one hand, the planet is in undeniable decline.

00:27:04.000 Fissures and fractures form everywhere we look.

00:27:07.000 We don't know where to turn for a new change.

00:27:10.000 The sense of impending crisis.

00:27:13.000 Almost history speeding up and eating itself.

00:27:16.000 An all-devouring illusion.

00:27:18.000 A Uroboros self-eating serpent.

00:27:21.000 Seems to be the order of our day, but also it's fashion week and Kanye's wearing those... I don't know, man.

00:27:30.000 I'm not sure about like... I think we've moved forward with the sock sandal debate.

00:27:34.000 People wear Crocs and socks.

00:27:35.000 That's no problem.

00:27:36.000 Crocs and socks is in and also socks and sliders are back in.

00:27:40.000 No problem.

00:27:40.000 I've been doing that for a while.

00:27:41.000 I've done it because footballers in the UK started doing it.

00:27:44.000 EPL players.

00:27:45.000 They did it and I thought, yeah, I can do that.

00:27:47.000 Yeah.

00:27:47.000 I've done a few months with Puff Daddy.

00:27:49.000 What?

00:27:50.000 Yep.

00:27:51.000 And Puff Daddy would often wear Crocs and socks on the set.

00:27:54.000 So that's what you would see.

00:27:55.000 And I would sing to myself, Puffy wears Crocs and socks.

00:27:58.000 Puffy don't know what a good thing he's got.

00:28:00.000 I never sang it to Puffy, because I always sensed he would be annoyed by it.

00:28:04.000 You had a bit of a bromance with old Puffy for a while.

00:28:06.000 Puffy took me Vegas.

00:28:07.000 Yep.

00:28:07.000 Puffy took me Vegas to see Manny Pacquiao fight Ricky Atton.

00:28:11.000 Pacquiao won, violently and early on.

00:28:13.000 Puffy stood up on the seats.

00:28:15.000 Jay-Z was in the row in front.

00:28:17.000 You're the luckiest man in the world.

00:28:18.000 Where's that Jay-Z?

00:28:19.000 I said, and he said, because you're hanging out with this guy, something like that.

00:28:22.000 And I stood there for a while, and then I just sensed I didn't fit in, really.

00:28:26.000 Yeah, you don't do well in those kind of situations.

00:28:29.000 It's not my natural environment.

00:28:30.000 It's not my natural environment.

00:28:32.000 What I felt, I'm one of those people that I'm confronted with terrible epiphanies.

00:28:36.000 That's one of the problems of being me.

00:28:38.000 Like, once when I was a lad, I was took to some sort of sex club, and I felt, this is sad and wrong and not right.

00:28:44.000 Instead of, like, you know, that was at the age when I was watching pornography as part of my daily bread, you might call it.

00:28:50.000 But when I was confronted with live sex, I thought, this is somehow not right.

00:28:53.000 And actually, I can see that that's a valuable and valid ethical position.

00:28:57.000 And one that I found, intuitively.

00:28:59.000 Now, when I was at the Ricky Hatton-Manny Pacquiao fight, I didn't like to see Ricky Hatton beat up like that.

00:29:05.000 I felt this shouldn't happen, should it?

00:29:07.000 Poor Ricky Hatton.

00:29:09.000 He's going to be on the jam sandwiches for months after this, isn't he?

00:29:12.000 Because he likes to have a bite to eat, Ricky Hatton.

00:29:15.000 Yeah.

00:29:16.000 Particularly when he's down in the dumps.

00:29:17.000 So yeah, no, I don't fit in in those environments.

00:29:19.000 Don't matter how many hip-hop legends you surround me in.

00:29:22.000 There you are.

00:29:23.000 Oh, yeah, I am.

00:29:24.000 There's me with Puffy, just to prove that those things did happen.

00:29:27.000 Me and Puffy in our hats on a private jet.

00:29:29.000 So you can't say I've never known the good life, because I did know the good life.

00:29:32.000 There I was, on a private... You would put, like, little sticks in your mouth at this point.

00:29:37.000 That was the sticks-in-the-mouth age!

00:29:38.000 That's what the kids was doing back then.

00:29:40.000 We had sticks in the mouth.

00:29:42.000 Puff Daddy told me to wear a long purple scarf.

00:29:44.000 I goes, like, I haven't got a purple scarf, but I've got a golden cowboy hat.

00:29:47.000 He went, that'll do.

00:29:48.000 So we negotiated, me and Puffy, and yes, I did chew little tea tree sticks.

00:29:53.000 That's it.

00:29:53.000 Kept me going.

00:29:55.000 Let's have a look what else went on in Fashion Week.

00:29:57.000 There was a lot of... Elon is watching.

00:29:59.000 Is Elon watching right now?

00:30:00.000 Hello, Elon Musk.

00:30:01.000 Good to see you, mate.

00:30:03.000 Elon's coming on the show just the minute he's dealt with... I believe he's got one or two legal matters to contend with.

00:30:08.000 Let's have a look at the stuff that's been going on in Fashion Week.

00:30:12.000 I think this is Kanye West's fashion show, isn't it?

00:30:15.000 As I understand.

00:30:16.000 People sloshing about in mud.

00:30:18.000 That's it.

00:30:19.000 Check it out.

00:30:20.000 That's not like how you're meant to do a fashion week.

00:30:29.000 She looks terribly peeved.

00:30:30.000 She does.

00:30:31.000 That's why we've simply added, with a little bit of production, a piece of British sitcom music called Old Ned, the famous theme tune to Steptoe and Son.

00:30:41.000 let me know in the chat if this means anything to you or if we're antiquated referees of a bygone time.

00:30:48.000 Yeah that's good.

00:30:59.000 That actually was worth doing.

00:31:00.000 I'm pretty pleased about that.

00:31:01.000 She's hunched.

00:31:02.000 I think that's the main thing, isn't it?

00:31:04.000 It's the hunch and the gunge, man!

00:31:06.000 You can't hunch and gunge and call it fashion.

00:31:09.000 Can ya?

00:31:10.000 Course you bloody well can't. 1.00

00:31:11.000 It's absolutely ridiculous. 0.96

00:31:12.000 Now, that's sort of a bit of insight into what the rest of the world is calling the news, but of course what we are talking about is the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline that has been sabotaged, NATO said. 0.75

00:31:24.000 Who would sabotage it?

00:31:26.000 Remember, we want to know what you think in the chat.

00:31:28.000 Do you think America are more likely to sabotage it, to escalate the condition and trigger a stronger NATO response?

00:31:33.000 Do you think Russia would do it because Putin, he's a badass, he's the kind of dude that would bite off his own finger in a fight?

00:31:38.000 I'll do it!

00:31:40.000 Or do you think it's simply an accident?

00:31:40.000 I'll do it!

00:31:42.000 And the fact that we've got such a lack of trust in the...

00:31:44.000 Most powerful players in a geopolitical conflict suggest that we need new systems.

00:31:49.000 That we're at a time of crisis.

00:31:51.000 That we need to imagine new dreams together.

00:31:53.000 That we can't allow ourselves to be confined to binary code.

00:31:56.000 Not no more.

00:31:57.000 We can't be choosing between two corrupt parties.

00:32:00.000 We can't be choosing between different materialist individualistic identity systems.

00:32:04.000 We have to find new ways to evolve.

00:32:05.000 Let me know in the chats.

00:32:06.000 This is all for you.

00:32:06.000 All this stuff I'm saying.

00:32:08.000 Now it's time for our item.

00:32:09.000 Here's the news.

00:32:10.000 No, here's the effing news. 1.00

00:32:15.000 Here's the fucking news! 1.00

00:32:15.000 No. 1.00

00:32:18.000 The Nord Stream pipeline is broken.

00:32:21.000 But who done it?

00:32:22.000 And who benefits?

00:32:23.000 Was it the goodies?

00:32:24.000 Or was it the baddies?

00:32:25.000 And who are the goodies and baddies now?

00:32:29.000 So, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline has been sabotaged.

00:32:34.000 NATO suspects it could have been sabotaged.

00:32:36.000 In any event, it's broken.

00:32:38.000 Does anyone in particular benefit?

00:32:40.000 Well, it's possible that you could say that the Russians benefit from this situation because it exacerbates the economic conditions in Europe that are causing immense suffering and soaring energy prices.

00:32:48.000 But there are also reasons to suggest that there could be American involvement.

00:32:52.000 We are certainly not alleging anything on that scale here on this channel.

00:32:58.000 But it is convenient in some ways for both sides that that pipeline is broken.

00:33:03.000 Let's look at the case for Russia doing it.

00:33:06.000 Let's look at the case for America doing it. 0.51

00:33:07.000 And then you, using your own intelligence and your God-given mind and your own eyes, decide for yourself what is the most likely course of events that led to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline breaking.

00:33:18.000 I'm not even over Nord Stream 1 breaking!

00:33:21.000 That's my favourite Nord Stream, baby!

00:33:23.000 Let me know what you think in the chat, in the comments, and we'll solve this riddle together, so as we will.

00:33:29.000 Hmm.

00:33:30.000 First of all, the first piece of evidence I'd like to present you with is Joe Biden in a rare, cogent public appearance last February saying this.

00:33:40.000 Let me answer the first question first.

00:33:41.000 Yeah, answer the first question first, Joe.

00:33:43.000 Don't just wander off the stage.

00:33:49.000 Answer the first question first, and then make sure, secondly, that you remember which country it is you're talking about.

00:33:55.000 Say for Germany, if Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the Right, now what you're doing there is you're over-explaining.

00:34:08.000 I think we all know what a war is.

00:34:10.000 We know what the word invade means.

00:34:12.000 Invade?

00:34:12.000 What do you mean by invade?

00:34:14.000 It's because he's forgotten the names of the countries Germany and Russia.

00:34:17.000 he's over explaining invade. Then there will be no longer a Norse team 2. We will bring it into it.

00:34:26.000 Oh okay you'll bring an end to it.

00:34:28.000 But how will you do that?

00:34:31.000 Yeah, how?

00:34:31.000 You can't just bring ends to pipelines.

00:34:33.000 I mean, what would you do?

00:34:34.000 How do you bring an end to a pipeline?

00:34:34.000 There's a pipeline.

00:34:36.000 You'd have to do something to the pipeline.

00:34:38.000 What would you do, Jo?

00:34:39.000 Since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control.

00:34:44.000 We will, I promise you, we'll be able to do it.

00:34:50.000 The beginnings of a wry and villainous smile formulating on Biden's face there.

00:34:55.000 Now before you start asking yourself what occupies agencies like the CIA and FBI and all of the secret agencies around the world, Navy SEALs that do great brave military work and undercover deep state stuff.

00:35:09.000 Before we get into the potential that they could be involved, and this is not something that I'm alleging, I'm just engaging in the possibility of it, let's look at the case for Russia as well.

00:35:18.000 Because we're not saying that Vladimir Putin's like some Mary Poppins adorable lovely geezer.

00:35:23.000 He's clearly a bit leery.

00:35:26.000 Let's look at the Russian case for sabotage.

00:35:29.000 Putin's illegal war on Ukraine.

00:35:31.000 That's an illegal war.

00:35:32.000 Is there such a thing as a legal war?

00:35:33.000 Oh, like this war.

00:35:34.000 This is in the bounds.

00:35:36.000 Like the Iraq war.

00:35:37.000 Nice and legal.

00:35:38.000 Oh, sorry.

00:35:39.000 Bad example.

00:35:39.000 The illegal war in Ukraine resulted in unprecedented Western sanctions against Moscow, but the Russian president is confident these people can endure economic pain longer and better than Europeans.

00:35:49.000 His calculation is that soaring gas prices and the cost of living crisis in a continent hopelessly addicted to Russian energy will turn the situation to his advantage. 0.52

00:35:57.000 European gas prices have been dropping for the last four days.

00:36:00.000 On Tuesday, after news of the suspected attack, they rose by 20%.

00:36:03.000 The British price was up 33%.

00:36:06.000 That establishes a motive.

00:36:08.000 They could do it for that reason. 0.99

00:36:09.000 And Vladimir Putin is a sort of mad barroom brawler, the type of lunatic that would bite off his own finger in a fight to show you how You think I'm not crazy enough? 1.00

00:36:20.000 Oh shit, alright! 1.00

00:36:21.000 No! 1.00

00:36:22.000 You win!

00:36:22.000 Just don't buy off any more of your digits!

00:36:25.000 The Nord Stream 2 pipeline was filled with 117 million cubic meters of natural gas worth 230 million euros at current prices, but Putin is shown he's willing to sacrifice valuable gas and use it as a weapon.

00:36:37.000 Russia was burning 8.4 million pounds worth of gas a day at a plant near its border with Finland, rather than export it to Europe in August.

00:36:43.000 I'd rather burn my gas than give it to you.

00:36:46.000 I like the smell of my own gas.

00:36:49.000 Good stuff. 0.99

00:36:50.000 I'll fucking do it! 0.99

00:36:50.000 I'll do it! 0.99

00:36:52.000 Okay, so that's the case for Russian involvement.

00:36:55.000 We've already seen Joe Biden saying, oh, well, we can do it.

00:36:59.000 We'll blow up that pipeline. 0.72

00:37:00.000 I got ways.

00:37:01.000 I know people in energy companies in Ukraine already.

00:37:04.000 I mean, I don't know anybody.

00:37:05.000 Which way is after stage?

00:37:06.000 Which way?

00:37:07.000 Hunter!

00:37:08.000 When Russia invaded Ukraine on February the 24th, Washington was able to get Berlin to suspend the pipeline project that was about to go online, even though it wasn't in Germany's interests.

00:37:18.000 The pipeline has remained closed ever since.

00:37:20.000 Why then did someone attack the pipeline on Monday, releasing the gas it contained into the Baltic Sea?

00:37:25.000 As long as the war continues, the US has what it wants regarding the pipeline.

00:37:29.000 Interesting.

00:37:30.000 It has what it wants.

00:37:32.000 Later, we'll look at if there are any historic statements on this matter that could further point to US involvement.

00:37:39.000 Also, I can't help but think that if this is Russian gas, couldn't they sort of turn it off at the source?

00:37:44.000 I mean, I don't know much about sort of fracking and mining for gas and stuff, but if it's in Russia and it's being piped out under the Baltic Sea, couldn't they just go switch the old gas off?

00:37:52.000 I mean, I know it's not a cooker, but you know.

00:37:54.000 But ending the war and lifting sanctions would lead to the reopening of Nord Stream 2.

00:37:59.000 Three weeks ago, President Vladimir Putin told a press conference that Russia was ready to resume supplying natural gas to Germany if Germany lifted its economic sanctions against Russia.

00:38:09.000 Putin said, if they need gas urgently, if things are so bad, just go ahead and lift the sanctions against Nord Stream 2 with its 55 billion cubic meters per year.

00:38:19.000 All they have to do is press the button and they will get it going.

00:38:22.000 Gazprom and Russia have Now, before you allege anything as heavy as US sabotage of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, you'd need to know that there was a sort of historic understanding of that event.

00:38:41.000 You'd need to know NATO would act more aggressively in order to enforce imposed sanctions and unify military action against Russia.

00:38:49.000 You'd need to know that historically someone in a position of power had suggested that having North American gas and oil as the primary supplier of European energy was a desirable outcome.

00:39:01.000 You'd have to know that pipelines between Ukraine, Russia and Germany had been under consideration in American foreign policy for some time.

00:39:09.000 Here's Condoleezza Rice in 2014 saying some pretty interesting stuff about pipelines.

00:39:15.000 But now we need to have tougher sanctions, and I'm afraid at some point this is going to probably have to involve oil and gas.

00:39:22.000 Oh, this is interesting.

00:39:23.000 Tougher sanctions that involve oil and gas.

00:39:26.000 Keep talking, Condoleezza.

00:39:27.000 The Russian economy is vulnerable.

00:39:30.000 80% of Russian exports are in oil, gas and minerals.

00:39:33.000 So they're aware of Russian vulnerability back in 2014.

00:39:35.000 Wonder what was going on in Ukraine in 2014, if there were any elections around that time with NATO involvement.

00:39:41.000 People say, well, the Europeans will run out of energy.

00:39:43.000 Well, the Russians will run out of cash before the Europeans run out of energy.

00:39:46.000 Yeah, but we're like, we're Europeans.

00:39:49.000 My phone's not working.

00:39:50.000 Sack of blood.

00:39:51.000 I'm out of croissants. 0.94

00:39:52.000 Europeans are not as hard as Russians. 0.98

00:39:54.000 And I understand that it's uncomfortable to have an effect on business ties in this way.

00:40:00.000 But this is one of the few instruments that we have.

00:40:03.000 Over the long run, you simply want to change the structure of energy dependence.

00:40:08.000 Change the structure of energy dependence?

00:40:09.000 Keep talking, Condoleezza.

00:40:11.000 You want to depend more on the North American energy platform, the tremendous bounty of oil and gas that we're finding in North America.

00:40:19.000 You want to have pipelines that don't go through Ukraine and Russia.

00:40:23.000 But there is a pipeline going through.

00:40:25.000 I mean, what would you do about that?

00:40:27.000 For years, we've tried to get the Europeans Just good old-fashioned acting. 1.00

00:40:30.000 Acting as quickly as possible.

00:40:30.000 It's time to do that.

00:40:32.000 And so some of this is simply acting, and acting as quickly as possible.

00:40:35.000 Just good old-fashioned acting.

00:40:37.000 Acting as quickly as possible.

00:40:38.000 So you've just got Joe Biden saying, believe me, we've got ways of stopping that pipeline.

00:40:43.000 And Condoleezza Rice, ten years ago almost, saying that we want Europe dependent on North American

00:40:49.000 energy.

00:40:50.000 We can't have pipelines.

00:40:53.000 And all of a sudden, there's a little bit of a pipeline issue.

00:40:56.000 Let's look into it a bit further.

00:40:57.000 If momentum grows for a peace deal of any kind, it would ruin Washington's long-term plans to weaken Russia.

00:41:02.000 There's no evidence to suggest that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was badgering Zelensky in Ukraine to delay peace terms.

00:41:09.000 Oh, no, there's some evidence that he did, that actually, Russia and Ukraine were on the brink of a treaty, then Boris Johnson did go over there.

00:41:15.000 They've named a cake after him now, though.

00:41:17.000 It's called the Boris Johnsonuk, and here, it's their best seller.

00:41:21.000 If it was Russia that sabotaged this pipeline, and not the US, how would NATO respond?

00:41:27.000 NATO has warned it will retaliate against any attacks on the critical infrastructure of its 30 member states, as it suggested the Nord Stream pipe explosions could be an act of sabotage.

00:41:36.000 The Alliance said, all current available information... Who's in charge of what information's available, guys?

00:41:42.000 ...indicates that the damage was the result of deliberate, reckless and irresponsible acts of sabotage.

00:41:48.000 Any deliberate attack against Allies' critical infrastructure would be met with a united and determined response.

00:41:54.000 Get ready, baby!

00:41:55.000 I'm united!

00:41:56.000 I'm determined!

00:41:57.000 A peace deal would also mean Nord Stream 2 would reopen, which would help Germany and Russia, but crush US aims at regime change and making Europe dependent on US energy.

00:42:08.000 Oh! 0.60

00:42:09.000 Oh! 0.60

00:42:09.000 You think just because America would benefit financially because Europe will be dependent on North American oil, And just because NATO would amp up their military attacks on the Russian region, and because it would prolong this war and create more profits for the military and national complex, and just because Joe Biden is on camera saying, oh we'll do it, we'll do it, and Condoleezza Rice eight years ago was saying, 0.60

00:42:33.000 We'll have to do it, we'll have to do it.

00:42:34.000 You thought because of all that, that the US could possibly have been involved in sabotaging the pipeline?

00:42:40.000 We sabotaged that pipeline as a surprise for your birthday! 0.85

00:42:45.000 And you've ruined it!

00:42:47.000 All that gas bubbling up, it'll put a smile on your face!

00:42:49.000 Who doesn't like a bubble bath? 0.99

00:42:52.000 Even better, a bubbly Baltic Sea!

00:42:54.000 Well, you've spoiled it!

00:42:56.000 You're just like your father!

00:43:00.000 So there you are.

00:43:01.000 No one can say for sure whether it's Russian sabotage or US sabotage or simply a convenient accident.

00:43:07.000 You can simply ask yourself, who benefits most from this situation?

00:43:11.000 Whose aims are most likely to be met?

00:43:13.000 Is it NATO's?

00:43:14.000 Is it US aims?

00:43:15.000 Does this somehow benefit Russia?

00:43:16.000 I genuinely don't know.

00:43:17.000 I'm not an expert in geopolitics and complex matters of energy distribution or long-term American foreign diplomatic These are not things that I'm an expert in, but I know you know a lot about it, so let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments what you think you're able to decide for yourself.

00:43:34.000 Or a further consideration is if you find censorship around these issues, that too should play into the information that you use when calculating for yourself what is the most likely outcome.

00:43:43.000 Me, personally, I think it's important to remain unbiased, open-minded, and to consider all possibilities.

00:43:49.000 But that's just what I think.

00:43:50.000 Join me in a minute.

00:43:51.000 I'll be answering your comments in the chat.

00:43:55.000 No. 1.00

00:43:55.000 Here's the fucking news! 1.00

00:44:00.000 Hello. 0.99

00:44:02.000 Gabi Rios 59.

00:44:03.000 The WEF installed Mr. Biden into office via election fraud to be their puppet, so who sabotaged the Nord Stream pipeline?

00:44:10.000 Interesting comment.

00:44:11.000 Neon Gramarian.

00:44:12.000 I think China did it.

00:44:13.000 They're the ones who would benefit if the US and Russia destroyed each other. 0.55

00:44:16.000 All sorts of wonderful opinions here.

00:44:19.000 Patriot Sean.

00:44:20.000 Russia would have sabotaged the Baltic pipeline into Poland that conveniently opened two days after the Nord Stream was disabled.

00:44:27.000 Yeah, that did happen.

00:44:27.000 Did you know about that, Gail?

00:44:28.000 You really follow the news, don't you?

00:44:30.000 Of course I do.

00:44:30.000 You're across all of it.

00:44:31.000 Soobs, what other comments did we get?

00:44:34.000 We've got, wouldn't you like to know has tipped you $20 and said, no rant, just a thank you for being a perver of the truth.

00:44:41.000 A purveyor of the truth, she said.

00:44:43.000 Not pervert!

00:44:46.000 Like, but a truth pervert is surely a good thing.

00:44:48.000 I think so.

00:44:49.000 Oh, I love it!

00:44:49.000 Oh, I love the truth!

00:44:51.000 Look at it!

00:44:52.000 Look at that truth!

00:44:53.000 Go on, my son!

00:44:55.000 Um, like that's, yeah, that's the way.

00:44:56.000 And by the way, any of those donations you give us, we give to the Stay Free Foundation, which goes to junkies and nutters. 0.62

00:45:02.000 That's people who can't even cope with life without a little bit of the old drugs down their necks.

00:45:05.000 We make donations to places like Friendly House, a brilliant treatment centre for women in Los Angeles, or BAC O'Connor, that's a place in the UK.

00:45:13.000 We try our best to help people.

00:45:15.000 Um, just so we know for a fact that these comments aren't, um, that are legit and that we support free speech.

00:45:20.000 This person with the username Russell Brand is a, I mean, is a c-word.

00:45:24.000 I won't say c-word because that's, some people find that word offensive. 0.67

00:45:26.000 That's worse than truth pervert, isn't it?

00:45:29.000 Yeah, uh, uh, uh...

00:45:30.000 You can call me a truth pervert all you want, but please don't call me a C-word, and please don't call me controlled right-wing opposition.

00:45:36.000 He helps Putin to solidify his propaganda as he was approached by RT News ten years ago to give him his own slot.

00:45:42.000 Russell Brand as a traitor, and then it sort of cuts off, but some of you beautifully sticking up for me in that chat, and don't think I don't appreciate that, you beautiful, lovely people.

00:45:50.000 But what we'll say is, the controlled opposition argument, I always think, how does that work?

00:45:54.000 At what point is it that you go, Right, now a bit more control, bit more control.

00:46:00.000 Because I can see it's controlled opposition when you see people on mainstream news go like, supporting narratives that necessarily... We support the war, but we also are funded by those organisations or big... Yeah, because actually the truth is I've not been offered a show on Russia Today ten years ago.

00:46:17.000 Well, also that's just only an offer, isn't it?

00:46:19.000 It's just an offer!

00:46:20.000 And you didn't even take it.

00:46:22.000 That wouldn't be... You've got to think your theories through.

00:46:24.000 You've got to present a whole thesis and say, this is how the idea works.

00:46:28.000 Russell Brand is controlled opposition.

00:46:29.000 He was offered some money by Russia Today ten years ago.

00:46:32.000 Then what he's doing is he's carefully cultivating an audience that... Like, also, Putin?

00:46:37.000 That guy's got, like, nuclear weapons.

00:46:40.000 Isn't it?

00:46:40.000 And I don't think that part of the strategy would be also get that geyser out of Sarah Marshall to be somewhat unbiased when reporting on it.

00:46:51.000 I don't think Putin's a good guy by the way.

00:46:53.000 I think he's like imperialist.

00:46:54.000 I don't think anyone gets to those positions of power.

00:46:56.000 I think the Ukrainian war is a terrible travesty and all the human suffering being caused by that. 0.99

00:47:01.000 Nightmare.

00:47:02.000 The only reason we don't emphasise that more is because it's reported on quite a lot in the normal news, isn't it?

00:47:08.000 Otherwise, we would spend time saying it's causing a refugee crisis.

00:47:11.000 Pointless sense of the suffering at a time when people should be coming together.

00:47:14.000 Also, though, another comment is a person promoting their book, but so vehemently promoting their book that I feel that we should... Yeah, Bitey Dog.

00:47:21.000 What are they saying, Supes? 0.75

00:47:22.000 See if you can get through this sentence without declaring me a truth pervert or a humility pedo or something.

00:47:30.000 Well they say they love your work.

00:47:32.000 What about Hillary giving Putin a big reset button?

00:47:35.000 Was that a foreshadowing that never came to fruition?

00:47:38.000 And then they plug their book at the bottom.

00:47:40.000 My Novel.

00:47:41.000 Stay tuned by Liam Baker on Amazon.

00:47:45.000 That's off Amazon.

00:47:45.000 If you want a novel by Liam Baker, get that one.

00:47:48.000 It'd give us $33 that goes to junkies and nutters, so you can do that. 0.86

00:47:52.000 And you can say what you want in the old chat if you like, but try to cultivate a more sophisticated argument is what I would say.

00:47:59.000 What else is going on?

00:48:01.000 Haha, Russell isn't right-wing, says It's Me Again.

00:48:03.000 Yeah, I'm not right-wing.

00:48:04.000 I don't agree with the economic policies more broadly of right-wing people.

00:48:09.000 I'm sort of anti-corporate and centralised financial power.

00:48:14.000 Nina Valentin-RB, I'm being offered to... What's this?

00:48:17.000 Nina Valentin-RB, question.

00:48:18.000 I'm being offered to learn how to shoot a gun.

00:48:21.000 Should I do it, or do you think through the Fractal Universe it encourages guns, or do you think it's wise to know how to protect myself?

00:48:21.000 Oh!

00:48:27.000 Well, I have been down gun ranges, and I've also shot clays, and I will say, it's tremendous fun.

00:48:35.000 But don't shoot a person, or an animal, is what I'd say, although some people you probably like shooting animals, let's just say, not people.

00:48:42.000 Don't shoot people.

00:48:43.000 Right, Gav?

00:48:44.000 I was with you at a prison once, and you were given a machine gun, and I've never seen you look so crazed in all my days.

00:48:50.000 And I sometimes do look crazed, all it normally takes is for a photograph to be taken.

00:48:54.000 We were in a prison in Louisiana making a documentary.

00:48:59.000 And that is, curiously enough, is where I learned the phrase, stay free.

00:49:02.000 Because the inmates in there would say, they'd go, hey, tell Puffy, stay free.

00:49:07.000 Because I was doing that film with Puffy.

00:49:08.000 So I was like, we'll tell Puffy, stay free.

00:49:11.000 Puffy, you stay free, won't you?

00:49:13.000 And by which I mean, feel free to wear your Crocs and socks and whatever you want to wear.

00:49:17.000 And I liked that phrase, stay free.

00:49:20.000 And that's why this show is called Stage 3, all this time later.

00:49:23.000 Now, there's another bit where they were letting me play with guns.

00:49:26.000 Now, I know that guns cause a lot of suffering, but I know there'll be a lot of people who see that as the totem of their constitutional freedom in your country.

00:49:33.000 You know, you do whatever you want in your life.

00:49:35.000 I'll tell you, when I was having on that machine gun, well, there was one bit where I said, can I just shoot it that way?

00:49:40.000 And the person said, well, actually, that's where the crew are standing.

00:49:42.000 Yes, we were there, yeah.

00:49:43.000 We were to the exact direction that you wanted to shoot. 1.00

00:49:46.000 I said, I'll shoot it above the head. 1.00

00:49:47.000 A lot of people are quite hurt by that, Rob. 0.99

00:49:50.000 One of the golden rules of shooting is do not fire a machine gun at the crew.

00:49:57.000 Some of you in the chat, I'm sure, will pick up on some available jokes there that I will not do for sensitivity reasons.

00:50:02.000 But see if you can spot the joke that I'm not doing right there.

00:50:06.000 Hey, Gal, do you want to comment a little bit more on the Nord Stream pipeline thing before we throw to Daniel Pinchbeck?

00:50:13.000 You wanted to make a point, I think, from Caitlin Johnston, the brilliant writer who you should follow on Substack, guys.

00:50:18.000 She's wonderful.

00:50:20.000 So she's written a piece and I thought there's a few bits from it that I thought would be interesting to read.

00:50:23.000 So promoting this claim, the claim of, you know, Russia or America that we were talking about here, you're necessarily either Russian or far-right conspiracy theorists.

00:50:32.000 Like, for example, Poland's former foreign minister and current sitting member of European Parliament, Radek Sikorski, who openly thanked the United States for exploding the pipelines.

00:50:41.000 Now this is something that happened last week.

00:50:43.000 There's a lot of people talking about it on Twitter.

00:50:44.000 As soon as this happened, Uh, he put a tweet up saying, thanks USA.

00:50:48.000 Oh, did he?

00:50:49.000 Yeah.

00:50:49.000 Thanks for doing that pipeline, mate.

00:50:51.000 Yeah, and then they pulled it down a few days later.

00:50:53.000 Get that tweet down! 1.00

00:50:54.000 Don't thank us for that on Twitter!

00:50:56.000 Thank us for that private chat!

00:50:58.000 That's a DM!

00:50:59.000 Oh, sorry, sorry!

00:51:00.000 DM that! 0.94

00:51:01.000 Yeah, it was pretty amazing.

00:51:03.000 So, she goes on.

00:51:04.000 This is a big old sentence, but it's probably worth... God, it is a big sentence.

00:51:07.000 Is that a sentence?

00:51:07.000 It's a big one.

00:51:08.000 It's a full sentence, yeah.

00:51:09.000 I couldn't find any full stops here, so... She writes like I talk.

00:51:12.000 The news is that this conspiracy theory's baseless may also come as a surprise to those who've noted that both President Biden and his Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland explicitly say that Nord Stream 2 would be brought to an end if Russia invades Ukraine.

00:51:26.000 Also that DC Insiders are on record saying they want Europeans to be more dependent on North American energy than on pipelines from Russia.

00:51:32.000 The Germans have just been angrily demanding an end to US-led sanctions on Russia and the reopening of Nord Stream Gas.

00:51:38.000 That US naval forces were recently conducting unmanned underwater vehicle drills right where... Oh!

00:51:45.000 Oh, just because we're doing unmanned underwater drills, you think that was an opportunity for us to sabotage that?

00:51:51.000 We were doing them unmanned underwater drills to organise a surprise...

00:51:55.000 Under the sea, Little Mermaid themed birthday party for you and you've just spoiled it!

00:52:01.000 Get rid of this aerial costume! 0.99

00:52:04.000 Right where the pipelines were attacked.

00:52:07.000 That unmanned underwater vehicles have been found carrying explosive charges near Russian pipelines in the past.

00:52:13.000 That Poland literally just inaugurated a gas pipeline that will transport gas from Norway through Denmark and the Baltic Sea.

00:52:19.000 That US military helicopters were recorded travelling between the two blast points and along the Nord Stream 2 pipeline shortly before the explosions.

00:52:25.000 Not a lot to go on, Inspector.

00:52:27.000 That the US Empire had an explicitly stated policy of ensuring that no powers develop that could challenge its global hegemony, including in Europe, and that the CIA had a known history of blowing up Russian gas pipelines.

00:52:38.000 But other than that... What have they got?

00:52:40.000 But other than that, they've got a known history of doing it as well, just because we've done it before and we could have done it again and the Polish PM said thank you for doing it.

00:52:48.000 I suppose, look, I wouldn't like to be so glib as to say, oh no, it looks like America sabotaged that pipeline, but I would like a good response to every single one of those points, wouldn't you?

00:52:59.000 Because, also, what do you think they get up to in the CIA and Navy SEALs?

00:52:59.000 Yes.

00:53:03.000 I mean, what do you think they're doing all day?

00:53:05.000 They're doing, sort of, they're up to these kind of tricks, aren't they?

00:53:08.000 I've just read all this, and we can't go into that as well.

00:53:10.000 We'll do that in tomorrow's show, shall we?

00:53:11.000 Do that in tomorrow's show.

00:53:12.000 In fact, what a show it's going to be tomorrow, we're actually doing, uh, oh yeah, what is a fascist?

00:53:17.000 It's like, what determines what a fascist is or not?

00:53:21.000 Because, I tell you, it's a lovely video, because Hillary called some, Hillary Clinton, I mean, called some Trump supporters fascists.

00:53:29.000 Because of the one thing.

00:53:31.000 Yeah, but that's, at worst, only a quarter fascist.

00:53:36.000 I'm a little bit fascist. 1.00

00:53:37.000 Steady, start shit! 1.00

00:53:40.000 That's actually a Cub Scout. 1.00

00:53:42.000 That means on the journey to becoming a fascist, you have to be Jesus, that bit, that's our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and that's what the British Cubs do.

00:53:49.000 Yeah.

00:53:50.000 So every fascist... I was in the Cubs.

00:53:52.000 Uh-huh.

00:53:53.000 And I see you do your top button-up, sir.

00:53:55.000 I do.

00:53:56.000 Like Hitler himself.

00:53:57.000 To cover up the tattoos.

00:54:00.000 But it's this final finger, that's the one, that's this guy, if he starts joining the rest of the gang.

00:54:05.000 I'm actually, myself, against fascism.

00:54:07.000 Don't know about you, Gal.

00:54:09.000 Yeah, broadly speaking, I would say so, yeah.

00:54:10.000 Because of the horrors of history.

00:54:12.000 The old horrors of history have turned me right off of it.

00:54:16.000 So, like, yeah, Hillary's saying the fascists are doing that one-finger salute thing. 0.94

00:54:20.000 And also, though, she praised, in a regard, Georgia Maloney, the new Prime Minister, or potentially, or President, maybe, of Italy saying, every time a woman does that, a fairy gets its wings.

00:54:33.000 Basically along those lines.

00:54:34.000 Every time a woman rises to a position of prominence, it gives you wings. 1.00

00:54:39.000 So I don't know that it's a good thing, but the left have said that Georgia Maloney is a fascist, although she did give that rather encouraging speech about family values, although that could be sort of some dog whistle exclusionary stuff.

00:54:52.000 So we on this channel are interested in discussing the nuances of that debate.

00:54:57.000 Saying that family values is probably a beautiful thing.

00:55:00.000 Supporting family, wonderful.

00:55:01.000 But supporting new and emergent forms of tribal identity, also fantastic.

00:55:06.000 We've got to learn to love one another.

00:55:08.000 We've got to learn to tolerate one another.

00:55:10.000 Whether we have a traditional set of values or a progressive set of values.

00:55:13.000 Why would we turn on one another?

00:55:15.000 When evidently there are powers so significant on this earth that they can potentially sabotage entire pipelines just for somebody's birthday.

00:55:24.000 So let's have a look what Daniel Pinchbeck, who I teed up earlier, brilliant author, soothsayer, man of mystery, real-life Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, author, had to say when I asked him about the pipeline.

00:55:38.000 Let's have a look.

00:55:39.000 If you did have to choose with the Nord Stream Pipeline 2, America done it, Russia done it, it's a legit accident, and you had to have a finger cut off if you didn't give a definitive answer, which definitive answer are you going to lose the finger?

00:55:54.000 I would say Russia did it. 0.96

00:55:55.000 You'd go Russia did it? 0.91

00:55:56.000 Absolutely, yeah.

00:55:58.000 To, what, escalate the conflict?

00:56:00.000 Yeah, I mean, I mean, you know, I mean, I know I'm gonna maybe I sound like the New York Times, you know, in this in this case, in this circumstance, although I've been a lot of other areas, I have a different perspective.

00:56:10.000 But I mean, I think we're seeing a very corrupt kind of mafioso style leadership in Russia.

00:56:17.000 And, you know, Putin poisons his friends, like you, you know, your friend, you shake hands with Putin, you come away with like plutonium poisoning.

00:56:23.000 I mean, he operates with a very different psychology than we understand.

00:56:28.000 And, you know, he's willing to constantly threaten nuclear war, like, over and over again.

00:56:32.000 I mean, that's pretty, you know, that's pretty all-in.

00:56:34.000 You know, you're going to destroy the world entirely if you don't get what you want.

00:56:38.000 Well, that's standard practice in Western democracy as well.

00:56:40.000 Do you see that as rhetorically different?

00:56:42.000 No, we don't use the nuclear.

00:56:43.000 We're not threatening nuclear war.

00:56:45.000 Yeah, but Liz Trust, the newly sworn-in British Prime Minister, you won't be able to remember her.

00:56:49.000 No one can.

00:56:50.000 But, like she said when they made her Prime Minister, will you be willing to nuclear?

00:56:55.000 Of course.

00:56:55.000 She goes, of course.

00:56:56.000 Well, you have to say that.

00:56:58.000 Not enough of a threat.

00:56:59.000 Otherwise Russia or China will assume they can do whatever they want to do.

00:57:04.000 Is geopolitics conducted at that kind of level?

00:57:08.000 We can't go on like this.

00:57:10.000 I just saw her on the news.

00:57:11.000 She said she won't do it.

00:57:14.000 Go! 0.95

00:57:15.000 Obviously it is.

00:57:16.000 When we look at what's happening in Russia, it is conducted on exactly that level.

00:57:19.000 How do you mean, Dan?

00:57:20.000 Just what I said! 0.97

00:57:22.000 All the people who are running these, you know, large countries are like adolescents who are like, you know, psychopaths, narcissists.

00:57:33.000 You know, we're not going to survive as a species in this circumstance.

00:57:36.000 I mean, the best thing that we can hope for You know, is, you know, that there's some form of cracking apart of the, you know, the financial system.

00:57:45.000 And then we have to rebuild, you know, maybe we get lucky in some sense, and there's enough, you know, largesse left in the system so that we can create these autonomous decentralized people will be forced to do it.

00:57:56.000 Hey, so there you go, that's Daniel Pinchbeck's views, just looking at some of you folk in there.

00:58:00.000 Gobbledygoo says, account Russell Brand is a C-word, is controlled left-wing opposition.

00:58:05.000 Then it says, of course, paid for by George Soros.

00:58:08.000 Listen, do you know one thing?

00:58:09.000 I like exploring conspiracy theory.

00:58:13.000 I have my own tinfoil hat, for example.

00:58:15.000 But I feel, thank you, young Putin, would you bring that?

00:58:18.000 You're not going to throw that, you could damage it, bring it over.

00:58:20.000 But I think that when you're coming up with conspiracy theories, cheers, there it is, See, I bow to no one in my love of the conspiracy theory, but I feel like it's very important to be able to underwrite the examples that we use for corruption and centralised power.

00:58:40.000 See, obviously the item we've done, Here's the News, we've shown, oh my God, Condoleezza Rice said that, Joe Biden said that, or when we talk about Congressional power, we demonstrate the wealth and the people that have previously worked in Congress.

00:58:51.000 You don't need to get into speculative territory.

00:58:53.000 It's interesting sometimes to think about those conspiracy theories.

00:58:56.000 That's one thing I want to say.

00:58:57.000 The other thing is, I'm not down with the old anti-Semitic language, guys.

00:59:01.000 Because I don't like any form of racism.

00:59:05.000 And even though I completely respect your right to say whatever you want in this chat...

00:59:10.000 Don't say stuff that's anti-semitic, it hurts me a little bit, because I like to think of you as people that I can love and talk to, that we're on a path together.

00:59:18.000 And when I see you say stuff that's sort of, is this guy Jewish or whatever, or things that are slightly more succinct than an inquiry into their heritage, I feel wounded by it personally.

00:59:31.000 So continue to say it if you want to, I suppose, but know that it personally makes me feel hurt, because I feel Ultimately, we have to approach one another in good faith, with loving hearts. 0.98

00:59:41.000 I hope that's not too sentimental for you bloody psychopaths. 0.96

00:59:45.000 Now, let's see what else people are saying down here. 0.99

00:59:47.000 I don't think Russia did it.

00:59:48.000 DW Delano, Jesus is coming to get his church.

00:59:51.000 Good, that'd be nice.

00:59:52.000 Ooh, no, no.

00:59:53.000 Remnant.

00:59:54.000 Don't say... Could you not be anti-Semitic?

00:59:59.000 There's actually only one person.

01:00:00.000 Actually, no, so we can't judge all of you on that basis.

01:00:03.000 Obviously, I wouldn't judge all of you, because that would, curiously enough, be a form of the type of racism that I'm not into.

01:00:09.000 Hey, check out this.

01:00:10.000 There's some fantastic Elon Musk news.

01:00:12.000 Now, possibly Elon is watching this, and if Elon is watching this, Elon...

01:00:17.000 We love you.

01:00:18.000 Elon, we are preparing a place for you on this show.

01:00:21.000 We believe you to be an innovator, a great thinker, a brilliant man.

01:00:26.000 But let's have a look at the launch of Elon's new robot buddy, Optimus.

01:00:32.000 Optimus.

01:00:33.000 Named after Optimus Prime.

01:00:34.000 Must be, mustn't it?

01:00:35.000 Is he a goody or a baddy?

01:00:36.000 I think he was...

01:00:38.000 He was a goody, yeah.

01:00:39.000 Yeah, he's a goody, Optimus.

01:00:41.000 He's mates with the little lad.

01:00:43.000 Shia LaBeouf.

01:00:43.000 That's it.

01:00:44.000 That's it.

01:00:45.000 But that was Bumblebee, I thought.

01:00:47.000 Yes.

01:00:47.000 Yeah.

01:00:48.000 But in the Optimus Primes, he's boss.

01:00:50.000 They've got complex social hierarchies to their robots, haven't they?

01:00:53.000 They've got like a robot king, then there's robot underlings.

01:00:56.000 Wasn't he voiced by Orson Welles in the cartoon originally?

01:01:00.000 Maybe he was voiced by Orson Welles.

01:01:02.000 Transformers.

01:01:03.000 Yeah, I think it was Orson Welles.

01:01:07.000 That's a good bit of casting.

01:01:08.000 It really is.

01:01:09.000 It's surprising.

01:01:10.000 Okay, so let's have a look at the launch of Optimus and see how it makes you feel to see Optimus brought onto the stage and onto the scene.

01:01:19.000 A look at how Tesla aims to bring humanoid robots into the workplace.

01:01:24.000 They look like that.

01:01:26.000 And eventually they could end up in your home.

01:01:28.000 Elon Musk is debuting a prototype.

01:01:30.000 I don't want him tottering into my home like that, do you?

01:01:34.000 All sort of jittery and stuff.

01:01:36.000 Eventually they could end up in your home.

01:01:38.000 Well, it's on its way then, now.

01:01:39.000 Right, where the hell's the house?

01:01:41.000 Come on, let me in! 1.00

01:01:43.000 I'll kick your fucking door in, mate! 1.00

01:01:45.000 You have to play a part in that, as well. 1.00

01:01:47.000 It's not just gonna wander in.

01:01:48.000 You have to verbally agree and, like, buy it.

01:01:50.000 Probably, probably, about twenty, fifty grand.

01:01:52.000 I bet hundreds of thousands to get one now.

01:01:54.000 Eighteen grand, apparently, it's gonna be.

01:01:55.000 Eighteen grand?

01:01:55.000 Yeah.

01:01:56.000 I noticed in the long list of potential attributes, it goes, like, it could do, like, it could do a bit of graft, it'll do gardening.

01:02:02.000 Then, sooner or later, come on! 0.99

01:02:04.000 Can you have sex with it? 0.99

01:02:06.000 But I wouldn't want to have sex with that, because it looks like a stereo from the old days. 0.99

01:02:11.000 Yeah, you'd want to cover up them wires for a start, wouldn't you?

01:02:14.000 Some of my mates was boy racers, you know, like well into doing their cars, rims, all that. 0.98

01:02:19.000 On the wheels, you pervert, you truth perv. 0.96

01:02:22.000 Hey, truth pervert's a t-shirt, we should have that. 0.97

01:02:24.000 Um, like, uh, it's a good thing.

01:02:26.000 I'm a truth pervert, man, and I'm proud of it.

01:02:29.000 Um, like, and the stuff that they had in their car, like vans and that, my mate Mark Stone, God rest his soul.

01:02:34.000 It used to look like that, all of those things.

01:02:34.000 Oh, yeah?

01:02:36.000 Right.

01:02:37.000 Were you saying Elon Musk has stolen that from Mark Stone?

01:02:40.000 Elon, if you are watching, I'm on to ya.

01:02:43.000 That was, uh, that was my mate's subwoofers.

01:02:45.000 What you trying to launch my mate's subwoofers as a, as a robot for? 0.98

01:02:50.000 So, go on, Gal, play him on.

01:02:51.000 Let's see what else this robot can do.

01:02:53.000 And ABC's Deirdre Bolton has more.

01:02:56.000 Introducing Optimus.

01:02:57.000 Go full screen on me for this, because what I want to say is, like, why is it that he looks a bit like, oh, come on, Sean.

01:03:04.000 Oh, there we are.

01:03:05.000 He's a bit sort of, he's jittery, isn't he?

01:03:07.000 Yeah.

01:03:08.000 Oh, right.

01:03:09.000 It's like, I've created a robot Joe Biden.

01:03:11.000 Yeah, what's going on, right?

01:03:14.000 Oh, it's this way, sir.

01:03:15.000 Oh, where am I going?

01:03:17.000 Oh, no.

01:03:17.000 Oh, God.

01:03:19.000 It's too gingerly, isn't it?

01:03:20.000 Yeah, I want a strident, like, Terminator. 0.99

01:03:23.000 He's gonna shit all over that, innit? 0.99

01:03:25.000 Like, the way Terminator's, like, marched up to people, all turning into mercury out of a thermometer and that, when it wanted to. 0.99

01:03:30.000 This little jitterbug. 0.89

01:03:32.000 Oh, bloody hell, what's going on? 0.95

01:03:34.000 You want me to do the washing up? 0.98

01:03:35.000 Oh, me short circuits! 1.00

01:03:38.000 Oh, you got me by the short and curly shit, mate! 1.00

01:03:42.000 You know when, if you used to come home late, and you'd maybe been up for a drink, and you'd come home... You're drunk. 1.00

01:03:46.000 You wouldn't want to wake up your parents, and you'd just tiptoe around the house.

01:03:50.000 He walks like that.

01:03:51.000 That robot's coming home after a bend down, isn't he? 0.98

01:03:55.000 Oh, bloody hell, oh no! 0.98

01:03:58.000 Yeah, he is a bit like that. 0.98

01:03:59.000 I know he's doing that.

01:04:00.000 And again, if you are watching, Elon, come on the show, please.

01:04:03.000 We're only having a bit of fun.

01:04:05.000 We love your inventions.

01:04:06.000 We all want a Tesla, don't we?

01:04:07.000 Oh, absolutely. 0.90

01:04:08.000 Poor, bloody hell, do we all want a Tesla. 0.86

01:04:10.000 Respect Elon. 0.96

01:04:11.000 Respect him.

01:04:11.000 Go on, let's have a look at what just happened.

01:04:13.000 Elon Musk's long-anticipated humanoid robot.

01:04:17.000 Musk and the Tesla team unveiling the robot at Tesla's 2022 AI Day.

01:04:21.000 It's literally the first time the robot has operated without a tether.

01:04:26.000 The five-foot-eight prototype walking on stage and waving.

01:04:30.000 Oh, see you later, son.

01:04:32.000 You all right, boy?

01:04:34.000 He's like a British granddad from the 1970s.

01:04:37.000 You got any money?

01:04:37.000 You all right?

01:04:39.000 Whatever's fake, don't tell your mum.

01:04:41.000 That's what he's like, isn't he?

01:04:43.000 The audience.

01:04:45.000 And even busting a move.

01:04:47.000 They always make them dance.

01:04:49.000 Tesla's autopilot system, fully equipped with advanced human-like qualities.

01:04:55.000 It gets kind of easier to do it.

01:04:56.000 I've never seen a human do that before, anyway.

01:05:00.000 For example, if you need him to thrust his hips along. 0.99

01:05:03.000 It's like he's having sex with someone that he can't stand. 0.99

01:05:06.000 Ugh, go on! 0.99

01:05:09.000 To do everything that a human brain does.

01:05:11.000 Processing vision data, making split-second decisions... Now, I'll be along!

01:05:16.000 Oh, dear, what an accident!

01:05:18.000 The Tesla and SpaceX CEO says he hopes Optimus will fundamentally transform civilization.

01:05:24.000 One day, handling tasks thought to be boring, repetitive, or downright dangerous.

01:05:29.000 This is boring.

01:05:30.000 I'm not doing that.

01:05:31.000 That's so subjective.

01:05:33.000 Boring.

01:05:34.000 Yeah, some people are like, fishing!

01:05:37.000 Get your robot to go fishing!

01:05:38.000 I love fishing!

01:05:40.000 But young Putin, he loves a fish, doesn't he?

01:05:42.000 Yeah, you caught the world's biggest fish once, didn't you?

01:05:44.000 It's a bit of an exaggeration.

01:05:46.000 You put it back, well that's part of the, hey, put it back though.

01:05:48.000 So what I want to say about Elon Musk's great breakthrough, this is what will concern me I suppose, that these brilliant innovations often end up further disadvantaging people and groups that are already under pressure.

01:06:03.000 Now, I suppose that suggests that we need to alter our systems.

01:06:06.000 Oscar Wilde, who our man Daniel Pinchbeck quoted in a conversation you can see on Stay Free AF, said that Oscar Wilde, the Irish playwright and genius, wrote a famous essay, The Soul of Man Under Socialism, in which he envisaged a version of socialism that was not about centralised state power, but rather Systems of leisure, where people were free to spend their time having a laugh, and in Oscar Wilde's case, having it off, outside of his marriage.

01:06:35.000 And, like, while the robot's done all the graft.

01:06:38.000 Yeah.

01:06:38.000 And that's what could be happening.

01:06:39.000 You could send Elon's army of robots out to do all the work.

01:06:42.000 I'll stick up for Elon here, because I'm a big fan.

01:06:45.000 I like him more than you.

01:06:46.000 If you're watching, Elon.

01:06:47.000 I'll text him.

01:06:47.000 I like him.

01:06:49.000 Love to see Elon just mucking about.

01:06:51.000 Can't get my phone to work.

01:06:52.000 So Elon said, uh, the mass rollout of robots has the potential to transform civilization and create a future of abundance, a future of no poverty.

01:07:00.000 Oh, that'd be nice, wouldn't it?

01:07:01.000 Yeah, it would, wouldn't it?

01:07:02.000 I'd love an abundant, no poverty future.

01:07:04.000 With this guy.

01:07:05.000 Me and him.

01:07:06.000 Let's see.

01:07:06.000 Go on, just look at the last seven seconds.

01:07:07.000 But others who witnessed the demonstration saying this early prototype falls flat and didn't demonstrate anything new.

01:07:14.000 Aw, look at it just wandering off like it's feeling.

01:07:17.000 Sorry, I tried my best, baby.

01:07:20.000 Okay, well, uh, I feel like, uh, what are we gonna do?

01:07:22.000 Are we not gonna have to do... I mean, there's so many things that I can press here, like this.

01:07:26.000 Fake comments.

01:07:28.000 Which is where we do some additional news stories, because we've got a little bit of time.

01:07:32.000 Also, you know I...

01:07:36.000 You know I enjoy doing that.

01:07:38.000 And I think we've got a few stories I'd like to cover before we leave.

01:07:41.000 For example, who's the dude that talks about cop haters?

01:07:45.000 Is he a campaigning American politician called Kennedy?

01:07:48.000 John Kennedy.

01:07:49.000 They've got a lot of Kennedys, haven't they?

01:07:51.000 A lot of Kennedys, haven't they?

01:07:52.000 Bloody hell.

01:07:53.000 I mean, they do live tragic lives, these Kennedys, but there's always one to take up the slack.

01:07:58.000 Let's have a look at what this Kennedy had to say. 0.88

01:08:01.000 Look, if you hate cops just because they're cops, the next time you get in trouble, call a crackhead. 0.65

01:08:08.000 I'm John Kennedy.

01:08:10.000 Because you can't rely on a crackhead, is one of the things I've learned, because they will always prioritise crack.

01:08:15.000 No.

01:08:16.000 But surely there's a next level down from cop, isn't there?

01:08:19.000 Yeah, I've got some good friends who are policemen actually, or in the police.

01:08:24.000 You don't go straight from police to a crackhead.

01:08:28.000 You could try someone who's a Cub Scout, Civil Servant, Local Baker.

01:08:33.000 A local baker.

01:08:35.000 Try a local baker.

01:08:37.000 Not straight to a crackhead.

01:08:38.000 He's like, I've got no stake in society at all.

01:08:40.000 I'm bailing on society.

01:08:43.000 Because I know a lot of crackheads, as a matter of fact.

01:08:47.000 And a lot of them, they couldn't operate as a cohesive, hierarchical law enforcement unit.

01:08:53.000 So why would you have a number of a crackhead?

01:08:56.000 How would that happen?

01:08:57.000 I mean, we all know 911 or 999.

01:09:00.000 But what's the number for... A crackhead?

01:09:02.000 Well, I don't know.

01:09:03.000 You simply, all a crackhead is interested in is some more crack.

01:09:06.000 Right.

01:09:07.000 They'll basically do anything to get their hands on a bit more crack.

01:09:12.000 Also, a crackhead, I will say, can be drawn across society, although all crackheads ultimately end up similar in their primal drive being to get their hands on the old crack.

01:09:23.000 You know what we've got, though?

01:09:23.000 Yeah.

01:09:24.000 What you have, Russ, the foundation, don't you?

01:09:26.000 If you are a crackhead and you want to stop taking crack, which you probably should do, because, let's face it, it's not working, is it, the crack?

01:09:34.000 After an initial period of distraction and intense joy, you will realise that the crack's become a little bit of a downer.

01:09:41.000 That's why we have the Stay Free Foundation.

01:09:43.000 Have a look at this, the merchandise.

01:09:45.000 Check out all this merch that we sell.

01:09:46.000 Every last bit of the money that we make goes to crackheads and it goes to nutters as well.

01:09:52.000 People that simply can't cope with reality. 0.62

01:09:54.000 Call it crackhead. 0.96

01:09:55.000 So call a crackhead, help a crackhead. 0.99

01:09:58.000 Look at this, you can get a lovely t-shirt like this one, and then the profit off of it, we give it to the old crackheads.

01:10:06.000 As I say, not directly, because you can't rely on a crackhead, because they'd simply spend it on crackheads.

01:10:09.000 Plain as day, what they do with their money, isn't it?

01:10:12.000 You can't say to a crackhead, why don't you invest in a vehicle or something like that.

01:10:12.000 Yep.

01:10:18.000 No, no.

01:10:19.000 Cryptocurrencies.

01:10:20.000 Cractocurrencies.

01:10:21.000 It's all they want, it's all they're interested in.

01:10:23.000 Alright, so I think that's essentially, we're running, we're not running out of time, because time actually doesn't work like that.

01:10:29.000 As far as we know, time is limitless, without limit, and the whole concept of time needs to be examined more closely before we can try to...

01:10:38.000 I don't know, segmenting it off.

01:10:40.000 But like, if you're a member of the Stay Free AF community, then you get additional content, including subcutaneous and in-depth weekly podcast interview next week.

01:10:49.000 Tomorrow on the show, Wim Hofsson, there'll be an additional bit of content with Wim, if you are a member of the Stay Free AF community.

01:10:56.000 Also tomorrow, we're talking to, uh, we're doing my item, Here's the News Now, Here's the Effing News, and we're looking at Hillary Clinton's accusations around fascism for Trump supporters, And analysing the idea of fascism.

01:11:09.000 What is a fascist?

01:11:10.000 You can let us know in the chat what you think.

01:11:12.000 And in fact, you're probably going to spot some fascism in the chat.

01:11:15.000 I mean, especially if you see antisemitism as a component of it.

01:11:18.000 We're also this week going to be talking to Annie Mackon.

01:11:20.000 I think I'm saying her name right.

01:11:22.000 She's a former MI5 intelligence officer.

01:11:24.000 She's going to tell us exactly what they're up to.

01:11:27.000 Real life James Bond stuff.

01:11:28.000 She's going to tell us all their secrets.

01:11:30.000 Stella Assange, the wife of Julian Assange, is coming on to talk about the campaign to have Julian Assange Freed.

01:11:36.000 Many people believe, of course, that Julian Assange shouldn't be in Belmarsh High Security Prison simply for revealing state secrets that, ultimately, while embarrassing government, did enable ordinary people to better understand the machinations of government and the complications of geopolitics.

01:11:53.000 We've got Eckhart Tolle coming on.

01:11:54.000 Do you love Eckhart Tolle?

01:11:55.000 Do you want to get deep and spiritual?

01:11:56.000 Do you want to liberate yourself from the machine?

01:11:58.000 Of course you do!

01:11:59.000 Eckhart Tolle's coming on the show.

01:12:00.000 Vandana Shiva!

01:12:01.000 Yanis Varoufakis.

01:12:02.000 We've got all sorts of fantastic people coming up this week.

01:12:05.000 Also, as I say, in the conversation, in the Stay Free AF conversation, where we answer some of your comments, we've got Daniel coming on.

01:12:13.000 Here we go.

01:12:14.000 Look at this.

01:12:15.000 Reckoning Night.

01:12:15.000 Putin is fighting the deep state.

01:12:17.000 Break some eggs.

01:12:18.000 Time is only a measure of change.

01:12:19.000 Well done.

01:12:20.000 Break some eggs.

01:12:21.000 And then the controlled right hate Russell, says Jules Verne 23.

01:12:25.000 Thank you for sticking up for me.

01:12:27.000 Time is finite, says Tessa Jones.

01:12:29.000 Eternity is infinite.

01:12:31.000 We'll have to go deeper into that in the membership chat because it's complicated.

01:12:35.000 What the Fakarta?

01:12:36.000 Thank you, Mr. Brand.

01:12:37.000 Look forward to noon tomorrow in NYC.

01:12:39.000 Have a lovely evening.

01:12:40.000 Then Liam G, will it... Oh, no, Russell Brand is a C word.

01:12:44.000 It isn't... Oh, God, that's actually also hate speech.

01:12:47.000 No hate... I don't know, I suppose they can do hate speech if they want, but we can't.

01:12:50.000 Free speech, Russ.

01:12:51.000 We can't read it out.

01:12:52.000 We believe in free speech!

01:12:52.000 Free speech!

01:12:53.000 We do.

01:12:54.000 Say what you want.

01:12:55.000 Yeah, say what you want, we don't mind.

01:12:56.000 Firesnake0 says, free Assange.

01:12:58.000 Although, I have told you what my view's about, innit?

01:13:01.000 Like that the basic values of kindness, compassion, love to one another, that should underwrite basically what we're doing.

01:13:07.000 Knowing that we'll all make mistakes sooner or later, but that our intentions is what will define us ultimately.

01:13:11.000 Although we can all fall into traps, can't we?

01:13:15.000 Can we?

01:13:15.000 Can you not mute the racist comments says Pyderfolz?

01:13:18.000 I don't know, maybe you should have an election on it.

01:13:20.000 We'll have an election on it and see if you want to.

01:13:23.000 But I don't know, we'll work it out, won't we?

01:13:25.000 This is an emergent and new medium.

01:13:26.000 It's only Monday.

01:13:28.000 It's only Monday, we've got a whole week to save the world!

01:13:30.000 Now remember at the beginning of the show, we asked you, they want a reset, we want a revolution, who's going to win?

01:13:36.000 Well, in order to create genuine change, we're going to certainly have to get beyond the kind of limited thinking that leads to bigotry of any kind.

01:13:44.000 It must be resourced in love.

01:13:46.000 You can't make anything out of hate.

01:13:48.000 Stay with us on Stay Free AF.

01:13:49.000 That's our membership platform, where I'll be talking to Daniel Pinchbecker.

01:13:53.000 We'll be getting a little deeper into some of these issues, and we'll be larking about.

01:13:56.000 We've got a fantastic week for you.

01:13:58.000 Join us tomorrow, New York City, 12 o'clock, LA, 9 AM, UK, 5 PM.

01:14:03.000 But we're streaming all around the world.

01:14:05.000 That's the beauty, and that's the glory of our situation, isn't it?

01:14:08.000 Sure is.

01:14:08.000 Ubiquitous, limitless connection at all times.
