Summary

You don t have to be Elon or Kanye to have an opinion, but it helps. Are we living in a time so censored, so restricted, that the only way to speak freely is to become a tech billionaire or an avant-garde yet hugely popular artist? Is the culture war creating a kind of crisis of communication? Is there so much censorship that you can t even be you? That we re at a sort of Foucauldian point of biopolitics, that your thoughts are policed, you re not safe even in your own head? Those are the kind of things we ll be thinking about over the course of the next hour, as we explore the concept of 'interdimensional weather' and why it matters more than just the weather forecast. And why the pound has just gone up a little bit in the news, and why the news matters more to us than human freedom. And if you want to know what's going on in the world, Gareth and Gareth are here to tell you. Stay Free with Russell Brand, streaming on Rumble every single day, right here on RUMBLE.

00:00:00.000 You're welcome. I'm just going to go to sleep. I'll be back.
00:03:12.000 you Hello!
00:03:14.000 Welcome to Stay Free with Russell Brand, streamed on Rumble every single day.
00:03:21.000 Right now is when it's happening.
00:03:22.000 It's being streamed right now.
00:03:25.000 What connects us is this moment.
00:03:28.000 As far as we know, there is a limitless, unbounded cosmic force that predates matter that is now present in you and in me.
00:03:38.000 Today, we pose the question, the idea, the notion.
00:03:41.000 We put forth the theory, the theme, the idea.
00:03:44.000 You don't have to be Elon or Kanye to have an opinion, but...
00:03:49.000 It helps.
00:03:50.000 Are we living in a time so censored, so restricted, that the only way to speak freely is to become a tech billionaire or an avant-garde yet hugely popular artist?
00:04:01.000 Is the culture war creating a kind of crisis of communication?
00:04:06.000 Is there so much censorship that you can't even be you?
00:04:11.000 That we're at a sort of Foucauldian point of biopolitics, that your thoughts are policed.
00:04:18.000 You're not safe even in your own head.
00:04:21.000 Those are the kind of things we'll be thinking about over the course of the next hour.
00:04:24.000 We're going to be talking about the news, like the news that you see on normal mainstream media, legacy media news, but also the news that we think is important and that we know that you think is important as well.
00:04:34.000 If you're joining us in the chat, Thanks for joining us in the chat.
00:04:38.000 What are you saying in the chat?
00:04:39.000 Let's have a little look what's going on over there.
00:04:41.000 Everyone's gotten a right to have an opinion.
00:04:43.000 Says full moon fever.
00:04:46.000 I'm growing a lot of food as well.
00:04:46.000 Eric Atland.
00:04:48.000 I'm prepping for next spring.
00:04:50.000 And remember, do we have any comments from before the show?
00:04:53.000 Remember I asked for that.
00:04:54.000 This is it here.
00:04:54.000 Is it here?
00:04:56.000 This is, look at this one.
00:04:57.000 Digital Shoes.
00:04:58.000 Good morning from Canada.
00:05:00.000 You're in Canada!
00:05:01.000 Lucky Sevens.
00:05:02.000 Good morning from California.
00:05:04.000 Chronicles of Reese.
00:05:05.000 Russell, when will you be introducing a sexy weather forecast segment to your show?
00:05:09.000 Well...
00:05:11.000 Shortly.
00:05:12.000 Did you not, like, see that weather forecast, the interdimensional weather?
00:05:15.000 Like, you know, we talked about it yesterday.
00:05:18.000 This I find both sexy and profound.
00:05:21.000 Have a look at this.
00:05:22.000 This is, did you see that moment where a woman was doing the weather and then sort of, it became not just about meteorological conditions, but epistemological and ontological conditions.
00:05:31.000 What is beingness?
00:05:33.000 Are we here?
00:05:34.000 Are you you?
00:05:35.000 What makes you you?
00:05:36.000 Here's the weather.
00:05:38.000 57 and Marshall 50 is the current temperature right now in Winona.
00:05:44.000 Ooh, that's funky!
00:05:46.000 What is going... Ooh!
00:05:51.000 It's her reaction, how she goes from doing the weather into like... I think she was aroused by that.
00:05:59.000 She's definitely been released from something, hasn't she?
00:05:59.000 Possibly.
00:06:01.000 Her usual script.
00:06:02.000 Must be nice to go off script.
00:06:04.000 Because if you're doing the weather, you're sort of confined by... You know, back to that moment she was saying it's going to be like this hot or that hot.
00:06:11.000 She's mainly saying numbers, isn't she?
00:06:13.000 You're pointing at a contour and saying a number, aren't you?
00:06:13.000 Doing the weather.
00:06:17.000 See that bit, it's that hot.
00:06:19.000 See that bit, it's that windy.
00:06:20.000 Then all of a sudden it's, on the minute, nothing's real!
00:06:23.000 Nothing is real.
00:06:25.000 We are a dream of ourselves.
00:06:28.000 And if you don't believe me, take a powerful psychedelic... I'm not endorsing this.
00:06:32.000 This is a rhetorical device.
00:06:33.000 Take a powerful psychedelic... It's not an advert, is it?
00:06:35.000 It's not commercial.
00:06:37.000 It's not an advert.
00:06:38.000 It's not like... You know when the Kardashians get in trouble for doing adverts and it's like they've not told you it's an advert.
00:06:43.000 They're just like, oh, do you know what I really like?
00:06:46.000 Cryptocurrencies.
00:06:47.000 And then you find out I get some money for it.
00:06:49.000 No, I just like cryptocurrencies.
00:06:51.000 I'm not...
00:06:52.000 Promoting psychedelics because I somehow get some currency.
00:06:55.000 And if I did get currency, it would be the currency of pure consciousness.
00:06:58.000 It would be the currency of awakening.
00:07:00.000 It would be the currency of your freedom.
00:07:01.000 For what currency matters more than human freedom?
00:07:05.000 And that's why the pound has just gone up a lovely little bit.
00:07:05.000 Money.
00:07:08.000 Good on you, pound.
00:07:09.000 Go on, my son.
00:07:09.000 Get in there, pound.
00:07:11.000 Um, Gareth Roy is the producer of this show.
00:07:13.000 One of a few producers.
00:07:14.000 I'd say that Gareth is my partner in creating content, if you want to know all our business.
00:07:19.000 Um, Gareth, what's going on in the news?
00:07:21.000 I'll press a gong and you tell us a news story.
00:07:23.000 Go on then.
00:07:23.000 Here's normal news.
00:07:26.000 Gazprom ready to ship gas by a shelved Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
00:07:30.000 So even though that thing's been sabotaged, that Nord Stream pipeline has been sabotaged, they're saying we can still get gas down it.
00:07:39.000 Yeah, they're saying one of the pipes is still working, is what they're saying.
00:07:43.000 Gareth, I don't mean to be crude... Something your doctor told you, is it?
00:07:47.000 I'm just saying, is it as if there was some sort of blockage in, say for example, your A-pipe, but you could still squeeze a fart round it?
00:07:53.000 It seems... Is it the same as that?
00:07:55.000 It's very similar to that.
00:07:56.000 Is it what my mate Nicola's nan once said, is a fart round shit?
00:08:03.000 Which she says is the worst kind of fart.
00:08:05.000 Right.
00:08:06.000 I fart around shit.
00:08:07.000 I don't mean to be crude.
00:08:09.000 I don't mean to be.
00:08:10.000 That's just the matter.
00:08:11.000 Like, of course, let's see what poor old Jeffrey Sachs has to say about it.
00:08:17.000 Jeffrey Sachs!
00:08:19.000 Jeffrey!
00:08:20.000 Be yourself, Jeffrey!
00:08:21.000 Tell us the truth!
00:08:22.000 Is that pipeline working?
00:08:27.000 I just enjoy looking at that man having that reaction.
00:08:29.000 Yeah, amazing reaction.
00:08:31.000 We're going to get him to come on our show, Jeffrey Sachs, aren't we?
00:08:35.000 We sure are.
00:08:36.000 We've asked him already and I'm going to see if I can get him to do that face several times.
00:08:39.000 I'm going to try and push him to...
00:08:43.000 I like that face.
00:08:45.000 I like the way it makes me feel to see someone do that face.
00:08:48.000 Anyway, yeah, so anyway, it does look like they're saying we can ship gas still, which is exactly what you'd expect a country who just blew up their own pipeline to say, isn't it?
00:08:57.000 They blow up their own pipeline, and then they go, we still get gas down that pipeline, don't worry about that, we didn't blow it up that well.
00:09:03.000 Yeah.
00:09:04.000 Yeah, well... We'll look out for some freak accidents in the coming days.
00:09:08.000 Watch out for freak accidents, baby!
00:09:14.000 Biden news now.
00:09:16.000 Biden offers stark Armageddon warning on the danger of Putin's nuclear threats.
00:09:21.000 Not only his nuclear threats, all nuclear threats are, I would say, similarly dangerous.
00:09:27.000 Threats.
00:09:27.000 Threats.
00:09:28.000 Is there, can you quantify the danger of a threat?
00:09:33.000 Like, because a threat is sort of just the expression of a potential issue, isn't it?
00:09:38.000 Like, I would, if someone says I'm gonna punch you in the face, I suppose I'm thinking, oh, does this person punch people in the face a lot?
00:09:44.000 Right.
00:09:45.000 Have they done it a lot in the past?
00:09:46.000 You're working it out as you go.
00:09:48.000 Say, like, for me, if I'm, when I'm driving, and I might get some road rage, right, I go, I'm raging!
00:09:53.000 Like, sometimes I check whether or not I think that person would beat me up before I express the road rage.
00:09:59.000 Yeah.
00:10:00.000 I'm so furious!
00:10:00.000 Oh, actually, it's quite hard.
00:10:02.000 Carry on, sir!
00:10:06.000 But there's actually there's a sweet spot if it's a little old lady I get there's no satisfaction to be derived from that exactly you've got to find that sweet spot like Actually, this is a person that I'm not gonna look like a criminal for fighting looking for a small man, basically In some way weak.
00:10:21.000 Weak, small man.
00:10:22.000 It doesn't have to be small.
00:10:23.000 It could be big but sort of like vulnerable.
00:10:26.000 Like sort of like this.
00:10:28.000 He's tottering on his feet, the poor thing.
00:10:30.000 But not so vulnerable as there's no joy in the victory.
00:10:32.000 Oh, I see.
00:10:33.000 It's a small window, Ross.
00:10:36.000 It's like that gas hole.
00:10:36.000 Tiny.
00:10:39.000 It's just like...
00:10:42.000 We can get a little bit of gas down it, but not much.
00:10:45.000 Still on Biden news, fears of only a weak wrist slap for scandal-scarred first son, Hunter Biden.
00:10:53.000 Hunter Biden's in the news.
00:10:54.000 Well, you know, not as much as he would be if they didn't censor it, but he's in the news a bit, isn't he?
00:11:00.000 Because of stuff to do with... Well, I don't know.
00:11:03.000 Put it on, gal, because the normal news did this and we can tell you what we think about what they say.
00:11:03.000 Let's have a look.
00:11:08.000 The Washington Post reporting federal agents believe they have a plausible case to charge the President's son with tax crimes.
00:11:15.000 And also with lying on a gun application when he said he wasn't using illegal drugs.
00:11:20.000 Citing people familiar with the case.
00:11:22.000 The final decision about whether to file charges rests with the top federal prosecutor in Delaware who was appointed by President Trump.
00:11:30.000 I think it matters that the lad takes drugs and stuff.
00:11:35.000 Do you?
00:11:36.000 I suppose the only way it would is if he had access to a gun.
00:11:39.000 That might... Wait a minute.
00:11:40.000 ...make a difference.
00:11:40.000 Hold on, what?
00:11:41.000 He's on drugs and he's got a gun?
00:11:43.000 Yeah, I think that's what they're saying.
00:11:45.000 Let's just imagine this now.
00:11:46.000 I'm on drugs.
00:11:47.000 Ooh, lovely.
00:11:49.000 I've got a gun.
00:11:50.000 Cool.
00:11:50.000 Uh-oh!
00:11:51.000 No, that's dangerous!
00:11:52.000 That's dangerous, isn't it?
00:11:52.000 Right.
00:11:53.000 Yeah.
00:11:54.000 I'm not bothered about his guns and his drugs.
00:11:56.000 I'm more interested in the business arrangements and whether or not any of those business arrangements involve... His dad.
00:12:03.000 Yeah, well they're saying here, missing from the Washington Post account of the DOJ case against President Sun is any mention of previously mooted charges over money laundering and violations of the FARA, which is Foreign Agents Registration Act, both of which could lead prosecutors to inspect the President's involvement in an influence peddling scheme.
00:12:20.000 So I guess what the point of this is to say is they're going easy on him because they don't want this to have implications on Joe Biden.
00:12:27.000 What I sense when I look at the news is that you're presented particular information that's either favourable or misleading.
00:12:35.000 Like this story being a perfect example.
00:12:38.000 We all remember that the Hunter Biden revelations included financial indiscrepancies as well.
00:12:45.000 Like, interest in Ukrainian and Chinese energy companies.
00:12:49.000 Like, of course there's some illicit stuff around drugs and sex and those things may, you can look at those morally and ethically however you want to, but they ultimately boil down to sort of personal issues.
00:13:02.000 If there's consensual sex or if it's illegal drugs, I don't know.
00:13:05.000 It's interesting that it's been drilled down to that.
00:13:08.000 And even something like this, Biden, you know, to pardon thousands of convicted marijuana, convicted of marijuana possession.
00:13:16.000 Even the term marijuana, I shouldn't be saying that, should I?
00:13:18.000 Because that comes from Maria Juan.
00:13:22.000 It was an ethnic slur to suggest that it was people, Mexican folk, Maria Juan, that's where they came up with it.
00:13:29.000 Cannabis is what you should call it, actually.
00:13:31.000 Let's have a look at Biden doing a speech about that.
00:13:34.000 The bit that really interests me, and check this out, is how he reiterates that this was a part of a campaign pledge.
00:13:40.000 Like, you know, as I said, when I was running for president, by God was I running fast!
00:13:44.000 I was sprinting along!
00:13:46.000 Like, you know, he reiterates this was a campaign pledge that he's making good on.
00:13:52.000 But what about those other pledges?
00:13:53.000 For example, I'll make Saudi Arabia a pariah.
00:13:56.000 That's hardly been the case because they've actually, it looks like, lobbied for business to continue with Saudi Arabia.
00:14:02.000 Anyway, have a look at this speech.
00:14:04.000 He also did, I mean, he ran on the pledge to decriminalise it, which is not what he's actually doing.
00:14:08.000 He's not even decriminalising it.
00:14:09.000 He's not decriminalising it, no.
00:14:10.000 What is he doing?
00:14:11.000 Just a little bit decriminalising it.
00:14:12.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:14:13.000 Yeah, he's changing the policy on it, so people who were previously convicted were saying they shouldn't have been convicted.
00:14:18.000 Right.
00:14:19.000 But it's not totally decriminalising.
00:14:20.000 It's not like you can do what you want now.
00:14:21.000 Exactly.
00:14:22.000 Do you think that you should be able to do what you want with drugs?
00:14:25.000 Uh, tricky old question to ask me.
00:14:27.000 Why?
00:14:27.000 Because you don't really take drugs, do you?
00:14:29.000 No, I don't.
00:14:31.000 I didn't expect to answer this.
00:14:33.000 Is that your private business?
00:14:35.000 I was going to talk more about how Biden's head looks more yellow at the top than at the bottom.
00:14:38.000 You're right, good point Gareth, that's more important.
00:14:41.000 He's started, like he'd been dipped in an egg yolk.
00:14:44.000 Yeah.
00:14:45.000 He's been used as a soldier as we would say in Britain, in our country.
00:14:48.000 He's been dipped in yolk there and then it's just the white just above the brows.
00:14:52.000 Let's have a look at what he's saying.
00:14:54.000 As I said when I ran for president, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.
00:15:00.000 It's already legal in many states.
00:15:02.000 And criminal records for marijuana possession have led to needless barriers to employment,
00:15:07.000 to housing, to educational opportunities.
00:15:10.000 And that's before you address the racial disparities around who suffers the consequences.
00:15:14.000 While white and black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, Black and brown people are arrested, prosecuted and convicted at disproportional... I feel like extraterrestrials watching the news here, if they pick up the signals out in the cosmos and think, what's going on down there?
00:15:30.000 They're talking about weird stuff.
00:15:32.000 Yeah, the reference is like, black and brown people.
00:15:34.000 Black and brown people?
00:15:35.000 What are they on about?
00:15:35.000 I'm not even sure what we meant to even say that.
00:15:37.000 Black and brown and different coloured people, it's extraordinary.
00:15:41.000 And again, it seems like drawing attention to particular aspects of legislation that are piecemeal improvements which earlier on you pointed out well at least it's something around drug reform that's beneficial but again it's not really sufficient and it feels more like a distraction than an action.
00:15:59.000 Well yeah apparently a political survey revealed that three in five US voters believe marijuana should be legal nationwide so obviously with the midterms coming up you could argue that it's a political stunt in that respect.
00:16:10.000 It's appeasement.
00:16:12.000 It's appeasement and it's distraction.
00:16:14.000 That's what it is.
00:16:16.000 Elon Musk's Twitter won't take yes for an answer.
00:16:19.000 Has he got Twitter yet?
00:16:21.000 He said, I will buy it, but you've still got to go to court anyway.
00:16:23.000 Yeah, that's exactly it.
00:16:24.000 Yeah.
00:16:25.000 They're apparently a little unsure that he's basically got the finances to follow through with it.
00:16:30.000 But his attorney said there's no need for an expedited trial to order defendants to do what they are already doing, which I think is really funny.
00:16:37.000 You don't need a trial if someone's already said they're going to do it.
00:16:40.000 Yeah.
00:16:41.000 That's pointless, you're pushing an open door.
00:16:43.000 Yeah, we're gonna do this thing.
00:16:44.000 Well, you better do it.
00:16:45.000 Well, we are doing it.
00:16:46.000 We'll see you in court!
00:16:48.000 Blimey, we'll see you in court!
00:16:51.000 Scientists linked to potential Wuhan lab leak get more cash to study viruses.
00:16:56.000 They're getting more gain-of-function money when potentially it was gain-of-function research that caused the Wuhan lab leak in the bloody first place.
00:17:06.000 They should stop.
00:17:07.000 I don't know how much these people want to know how dangerous bat coronaviruses could be.
00:17:14.000 Why is it always bats as well?
00:17:15.000 Surely there's other animals that could have it, isn't there?
00:17:17.000 I'm worried sick about bats.
00:17:19.000 What is it this time?
00:17:20.000 I just think they're gonna do something.
00:17:21.000 I've got a hunch about bats.
00:17:22.000 Get some bats.
00:17:23.000 Get them into a lab in Wuhan.
00:17:25.000 Get whatever they've got in them.
00:17:26.000 Make it worse.
00:17:27.000 Be careful though not to spill it.
00:17:29.000 Because I'll tell you what, if that stuff gets out, it's going to ruin society for a couple of years.
00:17:33.000 But anyway, I really need to know.
00:17:35.000 So it's basically the EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daszak, who got a grant last time, gave some money to the Wuhan lab.
00:17:42.000 Not that there's any proof, of course, that coronavirus began in that Wuhan lab.
00:17:46.000 You couldn't even say that on the internet a little while ago.
00:17:48.000 And on certain platforms, you wouldn't be able to say it now.
00:17:50.000 And you certainly wouldn't be able to say it on the mainstream news.
00:17:53.000 They're giving more grants to EcoHealth Alliance for more gain-of-function research.
00:17:58.000 Let me know in the comments.
00:17:58.000 What's going on?
00:17:59.000 Let me know in the chat if you think that kind of research should be happening.
00:18:01.000 When I talk about democracy, what I mean is that we should be involved at every level in important decisions.
00:18:08.000 If you had a vote on it, would you go, yeah, do some more gain-of-function research?
00:18:11.000 Or would you say, stop this mad stuff now?
00:18:14.000 We're going to do an in-depth story on that, I think, next Monday.
00:18:19.000 Correct.
00:18:19.000 Aren't we?
00:18:20.000 We will.
00:18:20.000 Why don't we?
00:18:22.000 And also, eNews are offering you all the bombshells from Kanye West's Tucker Carlson interview, but let's face it, here at Stay Free with Russell Brand, there's only one Kanye bombshell we're interested in, and here it is.
00:18:38.000 The most influential white woman on the planet being my ex-wife.
00:18:45.000 They have people... It's funny that he says white woman on the planet.
00:18:48.000 Yeah.
00:18:49.000 It's funny that... Why are we categorizing everything on that basis?
00:18:53.000 Like, like, oh, Joe Biden, white, brown... I mean, of course, you know, you need a query that there are statistical anomalies around the imprisonment of black and brown people to quote Joe Biden when it comes to drug charges, but also now influence as well.
00:19:08.000 We've got to let go of this infatuation, I feel.
00:19:10.000 ...that are around them at all times.
00:19:14.000 Telling them what to be afraid of.
00:19:16.000 It's like, not what to do or say specifically, it's what to be afraid of.
00:19:20.000 And if you have... That is specific, isn't it?
00:19:22.000 Be afraid of this.
00:19:23.000 Bees!
00:19:25.000 Love for example.
00:19:26.000 Watch out for bats!
00:19:26.000 Bats!
00:19:26.000 Bats!
00:19:27.000 I've got a feeling they're going to get more infectious.
00:19:30.000 How much contact with bats are you having?
00:19:32.000 Let's get them into a factory, Andy.
00:19:33.000 I will deal with them in the lab.
00:19:35.000 The only real time that bats have caused a problem is Batman, and that actually turned out for the good, didn't it, in the end?
00:19:43.000 Could you argue that it didn't?
00:19:44.000 I mean, some people are quite angry with him, aren't they?
00:19:46.000 What, Joker?
00:19:47.000 He's out of control!
00:19:49.000 I think ultimately Batman was a force for good, although he's ambivalent, and that's what I like about him.
00:19:55.000 A person that isn't afraid of them.
00:19:59.000 You know, like a Russell Branner.
00:20:05.000 Aha!
00:20:06.000 Oh, Russ, I'm not afraid of the Kardashians.
00:20:07.000 The first person he mentions is you, being not afraid.
00:20:10.000 Now, I... I'm afraid of the Kardashians.
00:20:12.000 I don't think he means the Kardashians.
00:20:14.000 I'm not afraid of them!
00:20:15.000 I think he means of anything.
00:20:16.000 Bring them in!
00:20:17.000 Get one!
00:20:18.000 Yeah.
00:20:19.000 Get them all!
00:20:19.000 Get all the Kardashians!
00:20:20.000 Get the man one!
00:20:21.000 There's a man one, isn't there?
00:20:23.000 Yep.
00:20:23.000 One of the lads.
00:20:24.000 There's a lad Kardashian.
00:20:25.000 Oh yeah, Rob, I think it is.
00:20:26.000 Get that one!
00:20:27.000 That's right.
00:20:28.000 Get all of the lady ones!
00:20:30.000 Get the dad one!
00:20:31.000 Get the mum one!
00:20:33.000 I'm not afraid of no Kardashian.
00:20:34.000 No.
00:20:35.000 If I got bit by a Kardashian, it'd probably give me a superpower.
00:20:38.000 Straight off to the lab with you.
00:20:40.000 Get me down that lab.
00:20:41.000 Oh yeah.
00:20:42.000 I did meet some of those Kardashians thinking about it.
00:20:44.000 Yeah, I just want to say, I don't think he means that that's... Oh, that's not what he's saying?
00:20:47.000 No, no, I don't think it's... What is he saying?
00:20:48.000 I'm afraid of nothing.
00:20:49.000 I think he means you're afraid of anything.
00:20:50.000 Which I think is a pretty bold... If I was thinking of the first person that came to mind who isn't afraid of anything... Ghostbusters!
00:20:58.000 Right.
00:20:59.000 Because they don't afraid of no ghosts.
00:21:00.000 Yeah.
00:21:01.000 Which is a good job, really, in that line of work.
00:21:04.000 You may be, but it's a hell of a compliment from Kanye.
00:21:07.000 Not afraid of anything.
00:21:08.000 Anything.
00:21:09.000 I think like cage fighters and them sorts of people.
00:21:12.000 I'm actually scared of almost everything.
00:21:14.000 Like, if I sit down and think about it.
00:21:16.000 Death, I'm scared of.
00:21:18.000 Sometimes not getting enough approval.
00:21:22.000 Maybe, like, I will fall down.
00:21:23.000 I don't know if I'll fall down!
00:21:25.000 Sometimes I think about too much, like, how many things can go wrong.
00:21:29.000 I'm worried about the pound.
00:21:29.000 The pound?
00:21:30.000 Look at it, bloody thing.
00:21:31.000 It's right down there now.
00:21:32.000 That's not where you want it.
00:21:33.000 It terrifies me.
00:21:34.000 But actually, I like Kanye West, and I like it that he said my name on the telly there.
00:21:39.000 Yeah, it's cool.
00:21:40.000 Good news, isn't it?
00:21:41.000 There's a bit where Tucker goes, like, where he first says your name.
00:21:44.000 Yeah, what does Tucker do?
00:21:44.000 And then Tucker goes, yeah.
00:21:46.000 Tucker goes, yeah!
00:21:47.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:21:47.000 I want to see that.
00:21:51.000 A Russell Branner.
00:21:53.000 Yeah.
00:21:53.000 Oh, he did say yeah!
00:21:54.000 Yeah.
00:21:55.000 Yeah, that's right!
00:21:56.000 Hell, I ain't afraid of no ghosts!
00:21:58.000 Yeah.
00:21:59.000 Yeah!
00:22:00.000 I've never even heard Tucker make that noise.
00:22:01.000 He ain't scared.
00:22:02.000 Why wouldn't we be friends?
00:22:03.000 Let's get... Let's be friends with him.
00:22:06.000 All of them.
00:22:06.000 Tucker?
00:22:07.000 Kardashians.
00:22:07.000 Kanye?
00:22:08.000 All of them.
00:22:09.000 I ain't scared of none of them.
00:22:10.000 Nope.
00:22:10.000 Don't scare me, mate.
00:22:11.000 It's gonna take a lot more than that.
00:22:13.000 Well, Kanye should come on our show, should he?
00:22:14.000 Of course he should.
00:22:15.000 Let us know in the chat, let us know in the comments if you want to see Kanye come on Stay Free with Russell Brann.
00:22:19.000 Certainly not scared of the idea.
00:22:21.000 Not scared of nothing.
00:22:22.000 Not scared of nothing.
00:22:24.000 Not no more.
00:22:25.000 Also in the news is that Australian farmers forced to dump truckloads of oranges because they're unattractive.
00:22:32.000 That's odd, isn't it?
00:22:33.000 Because...
00:22:34.000 Oranges aren't attractive.
00:22:35.000 Like, what are you going to do with the orange?
00:22:37.000 It's a strange word to use, isn't it?
00:22:39.000 I'll tell you the truth, Australia.
00:22:40.000 I don't know if you know this.
00:22:41.000 You're not meant to fuck them.
00:22:42.000 Like, you're just that avid for the vitamin C. Yeah.
00:22:45.000 It's not like, oh, what the hell?
00:22:46.000 I'm not going to fuck that.
00:22:48.000 No one does.
00:22:48.000 Good.
00:22:49.000 It's not the point of them.
00:22:51.000 Ah, it's disgusting.
00:22:52.000 Look at it.
00:22:53.000 That's not the point of an orange.
00:22:55.000 And if that's true, then there's a lot of people fucking oranges.
00:22:55.000 No.
00:22:59.000 Because look at all those oranges.
00:23:00.000 Oh, my God.
00:23:01.000 No, none of these are good enough.
00:23:02.000 Look at them.
00:23:04.000 I wouldn't go near that for yours, mate!
00:23:06.000 Australia's got weird actions.
00:23:08.000 Oh, there's a lemon instead!
00:23:09.000 Oh, God!
00:23:10.000 Oh, Christ!
00:23:11.000 It stings!
00:23:12.000 I didn't realise the gland would be so porous!
00:23:17.000 Yeah?
00:23:18.000 Yeah?
00:23:19.000 That's right, we're going to bring down the government and stuff like that.
00:23:21.000 We ain't afraid.
00:23:21.000 We ain't afraid of no ghosts.
00:23:23.000 Remember though, when we say frivolous things like this, I obviously want you to remember these things.
00:23:27.000 Primarily we're interested in transparent discourse.
00:23:30.000 We believe strongly that it's possible for people from a wide range of communities with different ideologies,
00:23:35.000 whether traditional or progressive, to come together against establishment power,
00:23:40.000 whether that's big business, media or state.
00:23:43.000 We believe, and in fact today we're going to explore, that there are alliances between big tech and government
00:23:49.000 that prevent us communicating freely.
00:23:51.000 That an organisation like Google, that we've been sort of primed and trained to regard as a neutral tool, is a powerful editorializing force.
00:24:00.000 Many of you will be aware that the WEF, which is Klaus Schwab's plaything.
00:24:06.000 Oh, I didn't mean to pry.
00:24:08.000 Klaus Schwab, real-life Bond villain, just one catch short of Dr. No.
00:24:13.000 Oh, no!
00:24:14.000 But he, of course, holds these events, these WEF events, with their catchphrase.
00:24:20.000 It's not a good catchphrase.
00:24:21.000 You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
00:24:22.000 It's a weird catchphrase, isn't it?
00:24:24.000 Yeah.
00:24:24.000 You'll own nothing, you'll be happy.
00:24:26.000 Yeah.
00:24:27.000 Because we want things, don't we?
00:24:29.000 I mean, like, if you reach a point of enlightenment, you recognise, oh yeah, I can't really possess anything.
00:24:34.000 Even my most treasured relationships and things I think of as mine are just temporarily mine because I will expire.
00:24:39.000 I'm a temporary conglomeration of atoms.
00:24:42.000 Through entropy and atrophy, I will move apart.
00:24:45.000 Even the notion of the self is just a set of memories and projections.
00:24:49.000 But that's not really the groove we're in, culturally, generally, is it?
00:24:52.000 No, it's not what they meant, I don't think.
00:24:53.000 I don't know if they mean that.
00:24:54.000 I think they mean we're nicking your stuff so we can tyrannise you.
00:24:57.000 Isn't it, Gal?
00:24:57.000 Isn't it?
00:24:58.000 It is, mate.
00:24:59.000 Yep.
00:24:59.000 It is, isn't it?
00:25:00.000 No oranges.
00:25:01.000 No oranges?
00:25:03.000 Attractive otherwise.
00:25:04.000 What do you think I am?
00:25:06.000 Some sort of pervert?
00:25:07.000 Sat at home fucking an ugly orange?
00:25:09.000 That's not what I was saying at all.
00:25:11.000 God, no, you've got me all wrong.
00:25:13.000 So let's have a look now at, well, because, you know, last year, what was it, about a week ago, a member of the UN openly disclosed that they are in direct contact with Google and editorialised Google searches, in this case regarding climate change.
00:25:33.000 So if you Google climate change, like, I want to know all about it, like on Google and that, I want to know all about it.
00:25:39.000 Like the information will be edited.
00:25:42.000 But, in a way, don't you think it's significant that 100 companies are responsible for 71% of all global emissions?
00:25:51.000 So, if you believe that man-made climate change is real, and for me, that's not the issue.
00:25:55.000 The issue is respect, love, cherishing the Earth that we are part of, that we're evolved from.
00:26:00.000 Even if you think that climate change is real, It's not being caused by little darling individuals not putting their bins out on a Thursday.
00:26:08.000 Trash cans out on a Thursday.
00:26:10.000 I just wanted to say in case the Americans are watching.
00:26:12.000 It's good.
00:26:13.000 It's good.
00:26:13.000 Don't alienate people.
00:26:14.000 No, no.
00:26:15.000 Don't alienate the Americans.
00:26:16.000 Hello.
00:26:18.000 We love you.
00:26:18.000 Hello.
00:26:19.000 We're here for you.
00:26:20.000 You should probably try and put them... Fuck them.
00:26:20.000 What about the Australians?
00:26:22.000 They brought home with an orange, didn't they?
00:26:23.000 I'm not doing that today!
00:26:25.000 They're lying!
00:26:26.000 What are you?
00:26:28.000 Like, no, I do.
00:26:29.000 I love Australians, actually.
00:26:31.000 I love all people of Earth, regardless of where they're born.
00:26:35.000 Under the sea, all them countries are touching each other.
00:26:39.000 Especially the French perverts.
00:26:41.000 So anyway, now it's time for our item.
00:26:43.000 Here's the news.
00:26:44.000 I don't think so.
00:26:45.000 Here's the effing news.
00:26:46.000 Let's have a look.
00:26:47.000 Thank you for watching Fox News.
00:26:48.000 Here's the news.
00:26:49.000 No, here's the fucking news.
00:26:50.000 UN official has publicly admitted at a WEF event that Google and the UN conspire to alter
00:27:01.000 Google results.
00:27:02.000 But there's nothing strange to see here.
00:27:07.000 Now let's get into today's story.
00:27:10.000 A UN official has brazenly admitted that they doctor Google results in collaboration with the big tech behemoth.
00:27:18.000 Now this relates in particular to climate change.
00:27:20.000 Of course at the UN They believe that man-made climate change is a real thing, and just so you guys know, I believe that as well.
00:27:27.000 And I also certainly believe that pollution and disrespect of the planet is a great slur on our kind.
00:27:33.000 Although I am open to the fact that there are epochal movements inspired by cosmological and planetary events beyond the scope of human civilization.
00:27:42.000 I of course recognize that's a possibility, but I deeply believe that we should respect the planet.
00:27:47.000 However, I also believe in freedom of information.
00:27:50.000 And here's a piece of information that's significant.
00:27:52.000 71% of all global emissions are caused by 100 companies.
00:27:56.000 So you don't need to go and doctor Google results so that every single thing says, climate change is bad, make sure you do your recycling.
00:28:02.000 Go and individually knock on the door of a hundred companies and say, stop polluting!
00:28:08.000 They're responsible for 70% of it.
00:28:10.000 Also, here's another piece of information that's vital.
00:28:12.000 The richest 1% of the global population use twice as much carbon as the poorest 50%.
00:28:18.000 My point is this.
00:28:20.000 Whether man-made climate change is real or not, and I know some of you don't believe that it's real.
00:28:24.000 I happen to believe it's real.
00:28:26.000 The UN believe that it's real.
00:28:27.000 The culpability and responsibility lies more with a hundred companies and the richest 1% than it does ordinary people.
00:28:34.000 So by doctoring Google results, you're not solving the problem anyway.
00:28:39.000 What you're doing is enforcing an agenda on ordinary people.
00:28:43.000 Now you might think that's a significant thing.
00:28:45.000 Clearly they think it's a significant thing.
00:28:47.000 But for me there are huge questions of trust.
00:28:49.000 Do you trust the UN?
00:28:51.000 Do you trust the WEF?
00:28:52.000 Do you trust Google?
00:28:53.000 Do you trust the global conspirators that dominate our planet?
00:28:57.000 Now I don't want to use tinfoil hat language, I don't have my tinfoil hat on hand, otherwise I would.
00:29:02.000 But I would say that the The biggest problem we face at the moment is centralised power and centralised corruption.
00:29:08.000 Centralised corporate and financial force, centralised state force.
00:29:12.000 The inability of ordinary people to run their own lives, whether that's from a libertarian traditional perspective, or from a socialist progressive perspective, and all the intersectional prismic alternatives that exist within that vast and various range.
00:29:27.000 I think the big problem is freedom in your own life, Freedom in your own community, the ability to access and discern information for yourself.
00:29:35.000 That's why on this channel, we're interested mostly in corruption in the media, corruption in big business, corruption in government.
00:29:41.000 Those are the things that interest us most.
00:29:43.000 Let's have a look at this WEF conference, that well-known jolly for ordinary folk.
00:29:49.000 Come one, come all to the WEF.
00:29:51.000 With me, Klaus Schwab, I wouldn't like to pry.
00:29:55.000 You know, we partnered with Google, for example.
00:29:57.000 If you Google climate change, Did I hear a cat purring there?
00:30:01.000 Is Klaus Schwab's cat literally in the building?
00:30:02.000 Have a listen.
00:30:04.000 I suppose it would be naive to assume that an enterprise as vast as Google would not have an explicit relationship with the UN.
00:30:14.000 But as you know, even on YouTube, which is a subset of Google, which is a subset of Alphabet, we've recently been censored and we held up our hands and had already published an apology video.
00:30:24.000 Have a look on Rumble if you want to see the details.
00:30:26.000 But if Google and the UN are conspiring at that level about something that they're confident to discuss publicly, like climate change, is it not likely that there are other areas where they are conspiring to?
00:30:38.000 Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, or let me know if you think this is an isolated incident and an isolated slip-up at a friendly old WEF conference.
00:30:46.000 At the top of your search, you will get all kinds of UN resources.
00:30:50.000 That essentially means sanctioned and censored information, and that they have removed non-sanctioned and censored information.
00:30:58.000 Now as I've already told you, I believe human-influenced climate change is a real thing.
00:31:03.000 And I strongly believe that all of our practices should be informed by respect to the planet and always be geared to maximising the profits of industry titans.
00:31:14.000 But more significantly, I believe that the culpability lies with the 70% of emissions that come from 100 companies and from the carbon footprint of the 1%.
00:31:22.000 And ordinary people oughtn't be condemned Blamed, corralled, controlled, drip-fed, biased information and have their freedom impeded so that these targets can be met when in fact it doesn't make any bloody difference.
00:31:35.000 It just seems to me like yet more leverage and control over ordinary people via big tech resources when in fact where the regulation is required is of course, as always, among the powerful.
00:31:46.000 We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled climate change we were getting incredibly distorted information.
00:31:55.000 Now, distorted information in this instance means information that we disagree with.
00:32:01.000 To me, science ought be a process of experimentation, discourse, objectivity where possible, continuing amendment, argument, counter-argument, theory, counter-theory, thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
00:32:15.000 There are people that believe that climate change is brought about by forces that go beyond the scope and scale of humankind and human activity.
00:32:22.000 Me, if I see an oil slick or I see, like, rainforest getting cut down, I think, I think that's human beings doing that, and it doesn't look good.
00:32:31.000 Who benefits from that?
00:32:32.000 Oh, some of the most powerful interests in the world.
00:32:34.000 For me, that completely fits the paradigm of anti-establishment, anti-elite power.
00:32:39.000 You let me know in the chat, you let me know in the comments what you believe.
00:32:41.000 I'm all about the empowerment of ordinary people in spite of their beliefs.
00:32:45.000 You love Trump, I don't give a shit.
00:32:47.000 You hate Trump, I don't give a shit.
00:32:48.000 You are interested in running your own life and running your own community, I'm on your side.
00:32:53.000 They're not right at the top.
00:32:55.000 So we're becoming much more proactive.
00:32:59.000 We own the science.
00:33:00.000 You can't own science, can you?
00:33:01.000 That's like saying we own objectivity.
00:33:04.000 That means you're in charge of truth.
00:33:06.000 And that's the biggest problem we face when confronting power.
00:33:09.000 People saying, this is what's right, this is what's real.
00:33:12.000 If you disagree with us, you're wrong.
00:33:15.000 That's, I think, tyranny.
00:33:16.000 And we think that the world should know it.
00:33:20.000 And the platforms themselves also do.
00:33:22.000 When I look at her shoes, I think she's probably a nice person.
00:33:25.000 A bad person wouldn't wear a strappy sandal like that.
00:33:28.000 But again it's it's it is um it's it's a huge huge challenge that I think all sectors of society need to be very active in.
00:33:38.000 Now how does Bill Gates fit into this?
00:33:40.000 Because you know he's gonna.
00:33:41.000 During an appearance at goalkeepers 2022.
00:33:43.000 God he's even interested in goalkeepers!
00:33:45.000 I think you need to come off your line quicker and maybe play it out from the back.
00:33:49.000 Distribute to your full backs.
00:33:50.000 During an appearance at Goalkeepers 2022 recently, Bill Gates lamented misinformation.
00:33:55.000 Gates admitted that he has a group dedicated to tracking what people say about him online.
00:34:00.000 I'd like to take this opportunity to say your hair looks nice Bill.
00:34:04.000 I have a group that tracks what's on the Well, I suppose this is what we're saying, that Bill Gates, you are a billionaire.
00:34:15.000 You have incredible influence already as a result of that wealth, and that influence appears to be creeping into areas like agriculture, media, seed patenting, vaccines, health, the WHO, these donations to various media organisations.
00:34:28.000 What is it that you're trying to achieve?
00:34:30.000 And if, as you say, you are a philanthropist, which means a love of humanity and you're wanting to help people, I feel that you should democratise that process and ask people what it is they want and how they'd like to be helped, and allow that money to be distributed in decentralised ways, not give it to organisations that ultimately allow you to profit more.
00:34:48.000 For example, during the period where you said you were going to give away 50% of your wealth, your wealth actually enhanced doing that. There's the statistics on
00:34:55.000 that. So Bill, if you're watching or if one of your gatekeepers or goalkeepers or
00:34:59.000 whatever they are is watching, if you really want to help the world I think it's
00:35:02.000 got to be about decentralization and empowering people in their own lives,
00:35:06.000 allowing farmers to run their own farms, allowing experts in all sorts of
00:35:10.000 diverse fields from all sorts of classes and communities to run their own lives.
00:35:13.000 There, if you're watching.
00:35:14.000 So, hopefully that'll get to him.
00:35:15.000 Gates' non-profit, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to some of the Facebook fact-checkers whose content is used in warning labels that are appended to Facebook posts.
00:35:26.000 When these warning labels are added to Facebook posts, the click-through rates decline by around 95%.
00:35:31.000 No way!
00:35:32.000 That's massive censorship.
00:35:33.000 So they give funding to Facebook fact checkers and that those warning labels are highly effective.
00:35:39.000 I bet some of our stuff said that, didn't it?
00:35:40.000 Of course it will have done.
00:35:41.000 Gates is one of the world's biggest super emitters due to his regular private jet travel.
00:35:48.000 We're not saying there's anything wrong with private jet travel, but if you're out there all the time saying that private jet travel is a massive problem, don't get to the place where you said that on a private jet.
00:35:59.000 Billionaires have carbon footprints that can be thousands of times higher than those of average Americans.
00:36:04.000 So an average American's footprint, like a little baby footprint, and Bill Gates' footprint, like a big Diplodocus footprint coming out of an aeroplane in some sliders and socks.
00:36:14.000 Oh man!
00:36:15.000 I'm having a hell of a holiday!
00:36:17.000 Nobody use a private jet!
00:36:18.000 See you next time!
00:36:21.000 Whether you believe in man-made climate change or you don't, surely you believe in freedom, surely you believe in the right to make your own choices, and surely you can see that this issue is the responsibility of a hundred corporations and the richest 1%.
00:36:32.000 But that's just what I think.
00:36:33.000 Let me know what you think in the chat.
00:36:35.000 Let me know what you think in the comments.
00:36:37.000 I'll pick up with you in just a second.
00:36:39.000 Thanks for refusing Fox News.
00:36:41.000 No.
00:36:42.000 Here's the fucking news.
00:36:44.000 Welcome our new Stay Free AF members, Kelly George and Caravan15.
00:36:50.000 Stay Free AF is of course our members community where you can join us after every single stream for additional chat, where you can join me live when I do podcasts, like when I talk to Elon Musk or Kanye West, who I guess I'm going to ask now to come on the show.
00:37:06.000 You can join live on Stay Free AF, and you can send questions to them, because we put some out in the stream, and we do the live conversation as well.
00:37:13.000 And also, you can talk to us, if you're a member of Stay Free AF.
00:37:15.000 When this stream ends on Rumble, you can stay with us a little bit longer.
00:37:19.000 I've got some of your comments here.
00:37:21.000 A remnant disciple of Jesus the Christ, Russia is fixing their pipeline.
00:37:25.000 Proof they did not blow it up.
00:37:27.000 And then Swelchy is saying, Biden dipped in egg yolk, nicknamed Soldier Biden.
00:37:33.000 Hmm, yeah, yeah.
00:37:36.000 And also, on the subject of cannabis and cannabis legislation, Janet 99 says, cannabis leaves volatile oils in the brain that are very hard to remove and then deteriorate the brain.
00:37:46.000 Janet, you don't have to tell me that, mate, because I spent a significant portion of my life putting those oils into the old brain and it's still bothering me after nearly 20 years without any of the stuff.
00:37:55.000 My brain is right slick in there because of them oils, I think.
00:37:59.000 And then there's people saying stuff about oranges, and a lot of you want to see Kanye on a future show.
00:38:03.000 Daboo Free, I want to see Kanye on a show.
00:38:05.000 Bry Engle, yeah, bring Ye on the show.
00:38:08.000 Summer Rose 88, yes, Kanye!
00:38:11.000 So we're gonna do our best, we'll reach out to him.
00:38:13.000 I used to have his phone number, but Kanye West, he changed his phone number a lot.
00:38:16.000 I feel like he's a person that might throw his phone out of a window, like on an impulse.
00:38:19.000 Yeah, fuck you!
00:38:21.000 He's the sort of person that would have those kind of impulses.
00:38:23.000 Yeah, to be fair, you did do that once as well.
00:38:25.000 Yeah, I did do that.
00:38:27.000 Yeah, I think you smashed a photographer's something or other?
00:38:30.000 Oh, yeah.
00:38:30.000 Those were days when, of course, remember when I was a normal celebrity, like, what happened was, is they, you know, all the paparazzi and everything, and I go, oh, that was one of my, that's when I used to think, oh, this is a good opportunity to act quite tough.
00:38:42.000 You dare say!
00:38:43.000 I'll show you!
00:38:44.000 I'll give you a bunch of bananas, mush!
00:38:46.000 Like that.
00:38:47.000 Sometimes I don't even get the fighting talk wrong.
00:38:49.000 Hey, Gareth, you've got some more information on how big tech and deep state agencies have conspired to keep certain stories out of the media.
00:38:58.000 What's your thing, gal?
00:39:00.000 Well, yeah.
00:39:00.000 I mean, I guess what we were just talking about, if this can actually work... Will, make this work properly.
00:39:07.000 There we go.
00:39:09.000 So yeah, we were talking about basically in that item, we were talking about Google controlling the narrative around climate change and almost taking away the issue from the fact that the narrative is being controlled.
00:39:21.000 It doesn't really matter what you think about climate change to an extent, it's more the fact that our view on it is being controlled by Google.
00:39:27.000 So just some examples I've heard over the last couple of years, between March 10, 2020 and March 10, 2022, there were 646 instances where Big Tech censored criticism of Biden, according to analysis by the Media Research Center.
00:39:41.000 140 of those cases involved the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's potentially corrupt foreign deals when his father was president.
00:39:48.000 In another example, in February, Facebook explicitly banned the claim that COVID-19 was man-made.
00:39:54.000 They banned that claim?
00:39:55.000 Yeah, this is obviously going back a year or so now as part of a broad policy update aimed at removing more false claims about COVID-19 and vaccines.
00:40:03.000 Hey Gail, when I spoke to Stella Assange on our show, she said that what's curious about censorship is the way that the narratives change, that there's a point where you might get banned from online platforms for saying something and then a couple of months later it's changed but your ban don't disappear.
00:40:18.000 A lot like many of the key workers that lost their jobs around refusal to be vaccinated, and then the regulation changed, they're still not giving those people their jobs back.
00:40:28.000 There's something quite capricious about this regulation.
00:40:32.000 Already it's been kind of admitted that Twitter ought not have censored, for example, the New York Post story about the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:40:40.000 And again, just to reiterate, we're not interested in the more salacious side of it.
00:40:44.000 I suppose what's more relevant are these business dealings so it was just a sort of a trend to ban it when there was a... I think in that respect that was the former Twitter owner and it's only come out because since he's left Twitter he said we shouldn't have done that but what if he'd still been there maybe he wouldn't have done Going back to Facebook, in April 2020, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg offered Andy Fauci help facilitating decisions regarding lockdown measures in the US.
00:41:08.000 In an email dated April 8th, Zuckerberg explains that he wants to help Fauci and his organization facilitate decisions and prioritise the right work. This has already always
00:41:16.000 recently happened as well with regard to abortion pills. Facebook was removing posts from users
00:41:23.000 and temporarily banning them from social media platform
00:41:25.000 to mention the fact that abortion pills can be sent by the mail.
00:41:28.000 So wherever you stand in the culture war there will be an issue that affects you.
00:41:32.000 You might be a person that's, like, pro-life, or you might be a person that's pro-choice, or you might be a person that thinks, like, he's a Republican.
00:41:39.000 Sooner or later, if you allow censorship, it will affect you.
00:41:43.000 That's why you have to have what is called principles that don't alter just because it benefits you.
00:41:48.000 Otherwise what you're operating out of is selfishness and greed.
00:41:51.000 We had a wonderful conversation earlier with Alan McLeod.
00:41:54.000 He's a media expert and journalist with Mint Press and he talked about sort of how How deep the relationship between the CIA and Google is, that even at the inception of Google, the CIA were there, they were investing, and it seems like he said that it's almost impossible to find the line between the state and big tech.
00:42:19.000 So when people say, why don't they nationalise it or demonopolise it and break it up, The reason they don't do that, haven't done that, won't do that, as has just been illustrated by Gareth's example of the correspondence between Zuckerberg and Fauci, essentially they're one entity.
00:42:34.000 The revolving door between Washington and Wall Street demonstrates this in another way.
00:42:39.000 It's just temporal.
00:42:40.000 This moment, government.
00:42:41.000 This moment, Wall Street.
00:42:43.000 This moment, CIA.
00:42:44.000 This moment, working at Facebook.
00:42:46.000 It's sort of a fluid symbiosis.
00:42:49.000 It's only us that has a taxonomy of separation.
00:42:53.000 It's only us that go, well, that's the CIA.
00:42:55.000 They're spies and stuff, doing their best.
00:42:58.000 They're regulating on our behalf.
00:42:58.000 There's the government.
00:43:00.000 There's Google.
00:43:01.000 They don't see it like that.
00:43:02.000 We have an old-fashioned, antiquated idea of nationality, which they stoke by sort of enhancing our prejudicial fears so that we feel sort of Either proud or fearful, but connect that pride and that fear to a kind of national identity.
00:43:17.000 But there is a strata of society that no longer observes those borders.
00:43:22.000 Aren't I right, Gary?
00:43:23.000 You're absolutely right.
00:43:24.000 Yeah, and I think a lot of what Alan was saying is, you know, how these government agencies are infiltrating all sorts of social media platforms.
00:43:33.000 You know, so the fact when you're uploading stuff onto Facebook or Twitter or any of the other ones,
00:43:38.000 you are essentially sending it to members of the intelligence agencies. They are. Yeah which
00:43:45.000 is... Spies, they're everywhere, aren't they?
00:43:49.000 Sure are.
00:43:50.000 Not on Rumble though, where we believe in free speech.
00:43:52.000 Remember, press your Rumble, if you press your Rumble button right now, it's good for us in some sort of way.
00:43:57.000 In ways that I don't really understand.
00:43:59.000 Probably, I don't know, probably someone in the FBI is working there going, oh, this is getting Rumbled pretty hard.
00:44:04.000 Well, Rumble me this.
00:44:05.000 So do a load of Rumbles.
00:44:06.000 Young Putin, he looks like Putin when Putin was young.
00:44:09.000 Are they responding now?
00:44:11.000 Yeah, we've gone up a couple of hundred.
00:44:13.000 Rumble it a bit more.
00:44:13.000 Do some more.
00:44:14.000 Rumble it like it's 1999.
00:44:17.000 We've got any comments, Subhi, from people on the stories of today?
00:44:20.000 Yep.
00:44:22.000 We have someone say, what's her name?
00:44:24.000 Justin Valentin said, when the SEC is accusing Kim Kardashian of having too much influence on financial matters, we're in big trouble.
00:44:33.000 Although Kim Kardashian is the most influential white person, who is also a lady, on this sphere.
00:44:41.000 According to my friend Kanye West.
00:44:43.000 And you know who's the least scared of anything?
00:44:46.000 Me.
00:44:47.000 I'm scared of nothing.
00:44:49.000 Like, on this sphere of Earth, I don't really have any... It's so ridiculous when I think about how much of my life is dominated by total dread.
00:44:57.000 Like, just sometimes I would get out of bed.
00:44:59.000 I was like, oh God.
00:45:00.000 Don't you feel a lot of fear?
00:45:02.000 What's it like being you?
00:45:02.000 Are you alright as a human being?
00:45:04.000 You feeling okay?
00:45:05.000 Do you have enough love in your life?
00:45:06.000 Enough connection?
00:45:08.000 You don't feel like you're being ground down, do you, by the system?
00:45:10.000 You don't feel like you're being lied to the entire time, lurching from crisis to crisis, unable to access your essential spirit and feel that it's safe to be who you really are?
00:45:18.000 It's difficult, isn't it, to be alive sometimes, but don't worry, we're going to work it all out together.
00:45:24.000 This is how.
00:45:25.000 By recognizing that on the individual level, we have to awaken spiritually, accept our own fallibility, and on the communal level, we have to find new ways of forming alliances and connections.
00:45:35.000 We'll be doing that very shortly.
00:45:41.000 What do you think that person was feeling?
00:45:43.000 The person that did that.
00:45:44.000 Can you remember?
00:45:44.000 They've been on the show before.
00:45:46.000 Let me know in the chat.
00:45:47.000 Let me know in the comments what this person's feeling.
00:45:49.000 Is that a happy person or a sad person?
00:45:54.000 He didn't have an orange, did he?
00:45:59.000 It better be good for my skin!
00:46:03.000 You're going to tell me anything else about Big Tech or can I throw to Alan McLeod?
00:46:07.000 Let's throw it to Alan.
00:46:09.000 Alan McLeod, if you haven't heard of him, he's a brilliant journalist.
00:46:12.000 You should check him out.
00:46:13.000 Mint Press is the organisation he works for and he told us that they need more help because guess what happened?
00:46:17.000 Google changed the algorithm To stop people supporting independent media like Democracy Now and Mint Press.
00:46:24.000 So, Alan McLeod, in my view, seems like a pretty good journalist.
00:46:27.000 It's a fantastic conversation.
00:46:28.000 The whole conversation will be up on Rumble soon.
00:46:30.000 But here's just a couple of minutes of us chatting earlier.
00:46:33.000 I think, well, I can't remember which bit it was exactly, but... Oh, no, it's Google's close relationship with the CIA and their ability to control the public discourse using data and algorithms.
00:46:43.000 Have a look.
00:46:43.000 And remember to rumble like it's 1999.
00:46:47.000 Smash that stuff like it's the sexiest orange in the grove.
00:46:50.000 Have a look.
00:46:51.000 Google has had a very close relationship with the CIA ever since.
00:46:55.000 The CIA actually sold stocks in Google in 2005.
00:46:59.000 And in 2007, Google was working with them to help their planes and their drones find targets.
00:47:09.000 Google Earth and Google Maps is basically the civilian spin-off of a military operation that Google was running for many, many years.
00:47:17.000 And so it continues to this day that these two organizations are very closely linked and that should really worry everybody because Google is this enormous behemoth which has got so much data about ourselves, about every other country in the world, to the point where it's really a national security issue for every other country and certainly a personal security issue for people like you and me.
00:47:37.000 So we've been trained to regard Google as an innocuous tool that we just use on a daily basis, but right from its origins it's had a relationship with the CIA.
00:47:50.000 So whilst its function for us might be to search for things, which in my case, I don't know about you Alan, but in my case are always legitimate things, mostly stuff to do with gardening.
00:47:59.000 It's my primary interest.
00:48:02.000 For Google there is the obvious advertising interest and sort of the shadow data and all the data that they can capture from that and for the CIA it's just by default just accumulating information for presumably to observe patterns in people that are not of interest at the moment and in people that are of interest they literally take in that information probably continually.
00:48:28.000 Yeah, listen, Google is one of the largest organizations and most powerful tools that humanity has ever created.
00:48:36.000 So, of course, powerful institutions like the CIA or any of its contemporaries around the world are going to want to influence it.
00:48:45.000 Even small companies do this by trying to do things like SEO, which is search engine optimization, where you try to appear really high up in the algorithmic rankings.
00:48:55.000 But yeah, when it comes to Google, they have an enormous budget, and so do the CIA.
00:49:01.000 And so we do see these interlocking relationships, whereby the CIA really does, and the US government more generally, does lean on Google to promote certain ideas and dissuade other ones.
00:49:15.000 And I'll give you an example of this in the alternative media world.
00:49:19.000 We are very painfully aware of how important Google is to us.
00:49:23.000 You know, in 2017, Google launched Project Owl, which is all about trying to destroy the basis of disinformation and promote good quality, authoritative news around the world.
00:49:36.000 But what ended up happening was that high quality alternative news sites saw that their search traffic drop overnight.
00:49:43.000 So Mint Press, where I worked, lost almost 90% of its search traffic.
00:49:47.000 I Know Democracy Now lost 36% overnight.
00:49:51.000 The Intercept lost 19% overnight.
00:49:54.000 And these are really terrible losses in terms of just the amount of money you will get from those clicks as well.
00:50:01.000 That's why we're here on Rumble.
00:50:03.000 Remember, smash that like button.
00:50:05.000 Use the tip of your snout, use your elbow, use your fingers, use whatever part of your body comes to mind.
00:50:11.000 But keep smashing that button.
00:50:13.000 We are here to communicate freely with you.
00:50:16.000 Amy and George says, Editing Google reminds me of Orwell's Double Think, Manda76.
00:50:20.000 Censorship is always good until it affects you.
00:50:23.000 And then, Allensmerk, I agree with Manda76.
00:50:26.000 Hang about, they're just talking to each other.
00:50:28.000 They're cutting me out of the picture.
00:50:29.000 Wait a second.
00:50:30.000 Censorship, in order to honestly protect, I would say, is good.
00:50:33.000 But that's more or less where the line should be drawn.
00:50:35.000 And who draws that line?
00:50:36.000 Who draws that line?
00:50:37.000 What are you thinking, Gal?
00:50:38.000 I can see you're thinking something, because I know from your face.
00:50:40.000 I was listening to Alan there, talking about Project Owl.
00:50:43.000 And I thought, did he say Project Owl?
00:50:45.000 Did he say Owl or Owl?
00:50:48.000 I'm not sure.
00:50:49.000 What's Project Owl?
00:50:50.000 Oh, young Putin will know, won't he?
00:50:51.000 He lives in those murky... He's on that naughty internet that you're not meant to go on.
00:50:57.000 You know, naughty internet.
00:50:57.000 Darknet.
00:50:58.000 Oh, yeah.
00:50:59.000 That's not the proper internet!
00:51:00.000 Why does it all look strange?
00:51:02.000 Music saved my life.
00:51:03.000 Hello there, thanks for watching.
00:51:04.000 Hey Russell, I want to say that when Twitter first censored Trump, I thought he was good.
00:51:08.000 I've changed my mind now.
00:51:09.000 Yeah, fair enough.
00:51:10.000 Nice.
00:51:11.000 P. Don goes, considering Elon works with the government already via subsidies in Tesla and SpaceX, and he appeases them by giving Ukraine access to Starlink, so it's possible that Elon may return free speech to Twitter.
00:51:21.000 That's an interesting perspective there.
00:51:23.000 I really hope we get you on the show so we can ask him some of these complex questions.
00:51:27.000 And then someone here just says, hello, hello, hello.
00:51:30.000 And then someone says, all right, now what's all this?
00:51:32.000 And then people start talking about potatoes.
00:51:34.000 I mean, it's just difficult to follow a conversation like that, isn't it?
00:51:37.000 But you keep that chat going because this is a free speech platform and you can say whatever you want.
00:51:42.000 Why don't you use your freedom of speech to love one another?
00:51:44.000 Seems like you are as well as Talking curiously about potatoes.
00:51:48.000 Frank Dick says censorship is the opening wedge for fascism.
00:51:52.000 Oh yeah.
00:51:53.000 Yeah, it's the opening wedge for fascism.
00:51:57.000 You got something to say, baby?
00:51:58.000 I was just wondering if you wanted to have a look at Klaus Schwab at all.
00:52:00.000 Of course I want to look at Klaus Schwab.
00:52:02.000 Klaus Schwab, as you know, is... I don't know what to make of that guy.
00:52:06.000 We once read an interesting article about him saying that, like, he was really interested in his parking space and stuff.
00:52:11.000 That's right, yeah.
00:52:12.000 Like, don't you park in my spot!
00:52:15.000 Because in a way, look, one person said once on one of our shows, on Subcutaneous, our podcast that you get if you're a member of the Stay Free AF community, that, like, Klaus Schwab Like, in a way, all this WEF and Davos stuff, it's no big deal because them powerful people, they can meet up whenever they want anyway.
00:52:34.000 They can meet up illicitly, they can dress up in their robes, go to their groves, worship their owl, whatever it is they get up to.
00:52:39.000 They can do that in their leisure time.
00:52:41.000 But, I'm sort of saying that what the WEF and Davos are is the publicity arm, the propaganda arm for the New World Order and Great Reset agenda.
00:52:52.000 So it is somewhat interesting, but is it a nefarious thing?
00:52:55.000 Let us know in the comments, let us know in the chat what you think about it and let's have a look at what... It goes a little bit with what Annie Mushroom was saying the other day about how it's become more explicit in the way that maybe you wouldn't have had something like the WEF and those kind of relationships being so overt maybe 30, 40 years ago and yet now you can See those relationships, and they can explicitly say, like the lady from the UN said at a WF event earlier, you know, be very, as I say, explicit about the fact that there are these relationships, and our reaction, we become so kind of, I guess, desensitized to some of these things.
00:53:29.000 Yeah, inured and sort of slightly ground down, like you feel like, oh, nothing's gonna happen, nothing's gonna waste.
00:53:34.000 It's very difficult.
00:53:35.000 That's why I think it's important we have people like Vandana Shiva on the show because she's someone who inspires me and makes me think change is possible.
00:53:42.000 When we talk to her, she's going to be on next week actually, when I talk to her I think change is possible.
00:53:46.000 It is possible to stand up to power.
00:53:48.000 People organise reality all the time.
00:53:49.000 Hold on a minute, revolutions are constantly occurring.
00:53:52.000 Empires crumble.
00:53:54.000 One of the first things they have to do is Prevent you from imagining new futures.
00:53:58.000 They have to instill in you the belief that change is impossible.
00:54:02.000 That's why they work so hard.
00:54:04.000 Think of all of the institutions and forces that are in constant action to prevent you from awakening.
00:54:11.000 Look at how hard they work through Big Tech and Government Alliance to prevent the truth from being spread.
00:54:17.000 That shows me the possibility always exists.
00:54:21.000 Let's have a look at old Klaus Schwab, see what he said.
00:54:23.000 This is when he talks about, like, the amount of government stooges he's got around the world, isn't it, essentially?
00:54:28.000 Yeah, exactly that.
00:54:29.000 How many have gone through the young global leaders at the WF?
00:54:33.000 Lilith, maybe you've seen this, but he just talks about people that, well, Dave was such a WF.
00:54:37.000 I remember Justin Trudeau when he was this high, always had great hair.
00:54:41.000 Have a look.
00:54:43.000 And I have to say, when I mention our names, like Mrs. Merkel, even Vladimir Putin and so on, they all have been young global leaders of the world economic forum.
00:54:57.000 But, What we are very proud of now is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau, President of Argentina and so on, that we penetrate the cabinets.
00:55:15.000 The thing is with Klaus Schwab is that clearly he's meddling in a kind of globalist agenda.
00:55:22.000 The assertion that ordinary people aren't bright enough to choose their futures for themselves, for ourselves.
00:55:28.000 That there needs to be sort of top-down systems of government and governance.
00:55:32.000 But he seems to believe it in a quite...
00:55:34.000 Jolly way, I've always thought.
00:55:35.000 He seems all quite twinkle-eyed and friendly.
00:55:38.000 Yeah, he also invites you to think of Vladimir Putin as like a young leader, like a teenage Vladimir Putin.
00:55:43.000 Plucky young Vladimir Putin, yeah, just to sort of, yeah, riling people up.
00:55:48.000 Also, I think with Klaus Schwab, he got a bit too much spit in his mouth.
00:55:52.000 He's like, I say swallow that down, Klaus.
00:55:52.000 Right.
00:55:55.000 Before he continues talking, empty at least one of those cheeks.
00:55:58.000 He's sluicing around a lot of saliva.
00:56:02.000 Yeah, he's not even used that water next to him, has he?
00:56:04.000 He don't need that.
00:56:05.000 That's probably just off cuts for him.
00:56:07.000 That's what he's sluiced out of his left cheek.
00:56:14.000 Swallow some of that before you continue!
00:56:16.000 Oh, bother me a pooter!
00:56:18.000 You little fresh-faced thing!
00:56:20.000 Isn't he?
00:56:21.000 Too much spit in his gob.
00:56:22.000 Let's see what he carries.
00:56:22.000 Let's see the rest of what he's got to say.
00:56:25.000 Yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I know that half of this cabinet, or even more half of this cabinet, are actually young global leaders of the world economy.
00:56:46.000 You might remember during the trucker protest that there was that woman whose name was something like Valentina Celestia Goodheart.
00:56:53.000 Christina Freeland, wasn't it?
00:56:54.000 Yeah, Christina Freeland, that's what it was.
00:56:57.000 It was like cuddly old Mary Poppins, I love you.
00:57:00.000 It was the person that said we're freezing your bank accounts and all that stuff.
00:57:04.000 All of these people have passed through these organisations, that's what it looks like.
00:57:08.000 When we spoke to Yanis Varoufakis, and his podcast is coming up, Subcutaneous, next week, it'll be on Tuesday's show, and if you're a member of Stay Free AF, you can listen to the whole thing in its entirety.
00:57:20.000 He talked about how deeply entrenched these power relationships are, and that one way of opposing it would be actual different systems of democracy, where you have assemblies of, get this, people People that have not come through the professional grooming processes that all those lot have been through.
00:57:37.000 They all go to the same universities.
00:57:38.000 They all go to the same schools.
00:57:39.000 Not criticizing you if you went to one of those universities or schools.
00:57:42.000 We're all, you know, we're all beautiful in our own crazy way.
00:57:45.000 But like Yanis Varoufakis' suggestion that you could have real people's assemblies temporarily brought together to vote on particular issues.
00:57:54.000 One thing that that would certainly do would be to break up these monopolies and these centralized systems of power.
00:58:00.000 I think it's a Pretty good idea.
00:58:02.000 I want to say hello to a few of our Stay Free AF members like Kidrift2590, Moxie Twain, Winter Wanner.
00:58:09.000 Thanks for joining us on Stay Free AF.
00:58:11.000 Gal, you look like you've got something to say there.
00:58:12.000 No, I just... I can never tell because you've got this sort of look on your face sometimes.
00:58:16.000 It just reminded me of something I read by Brian Karmarkitich and Jacobin earlier saying, the best way to protect, he was talking about big tech, the best way to protect against this is to advocate for and firmly cement very strict limits on these companies' ability to censor or a minimum Yeah, treat them as utilities.
00:58:31.000 We've got nothing to lose.
00:58:36.000 I know a lot of you have been sort of trained to think of socialism as terrifying, in some ways, quite rightly, because of the horrors of Stalinism and Maoism.
00:58:48.000 But forms of public ownership where the state is not separate from people, like true democracy, would mean that you would have a say in how municipal facilities were run, energy, transport, all facilities.
00:59:03.000 It's not like the state have got it and it's none of your business.
00:59:06.000 It's your business!
00:59:07.000 Your community, you run it.
00:59:09.000 Imagine doing that to big tech.
00:59:11.000 Oh, well, but this was an entrepreneur.
00:59:12.000 Some genius come up with this in his garage.
00:59:15.000 No, the CIA were investing in Google from the get-go.
00:59:18.000 They give us that narrative.
00:59:20.000 They give us that framework so that we think, oh, it's untouchable.
00:59:23.000 I suppose I'll have to invent my own Google.
00:59:25.000 Like, you know, you sort of feel like you're not good enough because you've not invented a search engine.
00:59:29.000 You are good enough.
00:59:30.000 You're perfect exactly as you are.
00:59:32.000 I'm so glad you're here with us.

01:01:03.000 Is that working?
01:01:05.000 F**king thing!
01:01:07.000 Damn you! This is why we need editors!
01:01:09.000 That! 007! There!
01:01:11.000 That one!

01:01:29.000 All the details are in there.
01:01:31.000 Okay, it's been a lovely little show today, hasn't it?
01:01:33.000 Like we've been talking about You know, Elon and Kanye and their ability to operate outside of the conventional systems of censorship because of their power.
01:01:43.000 I suppose what we have to question is whether or not...
01:01:47.000 Whether or not Elon Musk ultimately is going to say anything that's incredibly radical, which is something we'll be asking him when he's on the show, and whether or not Kanye's contributions to the culture are taking us in the right direction.
01:02:00.000 But I suppose what we can agree is they certainly have the right to communicate and they shouldn't be subject to censorship and ultimately What they're experiencing in the public domain is something that many people... They're, I suppose, being subject to a threshold that most of us are kept below.
01:02:16.000 That's what happens if people with power start saying, well, can't we have a diplomatic solution in the Russia-Ukraine war?
01:02:22.000 Or aren't there numerous perspectives that could be applied in the culture war?
01:02:26.000 They show us how difficult it's become to communicate.
01:02:29.000 That's what I suppose I'm trying to say.
01:02:31.000 Hey, so...
01:02:32.000 On Monday, we're going to be talking in depth about how funding for a U.S.
01:02:37.000 organization at the center of the COVID-19 lab leak controversy have been given more grants to do more gain-of-function research.
01:02:45.000 We've got loads of good stuff.
01:02:46.000 Yanis Varoufakis, I told you about, he's coming up.
01:02:49.000 And also, Vandana Shiva is going to be with me this Tuesday.
01:02:53.000 And if you're a member of the Stay Free AF community, You can join us live and you can ask her questions and all that kind of stuff.
01:02:59.000 We've got some other fantastic people like Jordan Peterson and Eckhart Tolle come in.
01:03:03.000 And I want to welcome our new members to the Stay Free AF community, Peanut and Van Ben.
01:03:08.000 Thank you so much for joining us.
01:03:10.000 Before we leave you, I... Is that not... Did I not say that right?
01:03:14.000 That's a good way of saying it, isn't it?
01:03:15.000 Peanut, Van Ben.
01:03:16.000 Why are they laughing?
01:03:17.000 I can hear people laughing back there.
01:03:18.000 They're laughing at me.
01:03:19.000 They're not laughing with me.
01:03:20.000 They're not laughing with me.
01:03:21.000 They're laughing in me.
01:03:23.000 But hey, do you know what I want to look at before we go?
01:03:26.000 I want to look at them people that is making a small fortune stripping in the metaverse.
01:03:30.000 Many people thought that the metaverse, when Zuckerberg dreamed it up, would become an hideous, heinous, erroneous, odious place.
01:03:40.000 But now I see that people are becoming rich from doing cyber stripping in there.
01:03:43.000 Maybe it ain't so bad after all.
01:03:45.000 Have a little look.
01:03:46.000 So that man just strips as that electric lady and he gets money for that.
01:03:59.000 Yeah.
01:03:59.000 Wow.
01:04:00.000 It's a lot of money.
01:04:01.000 So what 10 grand a week, two hours a day.
01:04:05.000 And that's a million a year or something, is it?
01:04:08.000 How far away are we getting from actual natural sex?
01:04:12.000 Like, there's natural sex to human beings or more, if that's your thing, having it off.
01:04:18.000 And then there's like, oh, I can't get that, it's too complicated.
01:04:21.000 I'll just, we'll watch some pornography.
01:04:23.000 That's already, once a month.
01:04:25.000 Then the pornography is metaverse pornography, where they're not even actual people, but they're sort of pixelated, generated people.
01:04:34.000 I mean, in the end, you might as well, like, masturbate over a packet of crisps or, indeed, have sex with an unattractive orange.
01:04:39.000 Yeah.
01:04:40.000 Because, like, how can you even contact your libido at that point?
01:04:45.000 My libido won't go for that.
01:04:48.000 Although, when I was a younger man, I suppose I would sometimes glimpse, perhaps, a ripe tomato and think it had something to say for itself.
01:04:55.000 You know, but those were desperate times, Gal.
01:04:56.000 I guess, you know, maybe this is just a version of when we used to When some people used to find it in, um, hedges and things, you know?
01:05:04.000 Yeah, but that was at least a picture of a person.
01:05:06.000 A person, I guess.
01:05:07.000 A picture of a person.
01:05:08.000 There was a young lad, there was a young lad, it was Playboy, that I would find under my dad's bed, and there was like, um, this is gonna affect the pound terribly, like, uh, like, there was cartoons in there, but I was only a boy, so the cartoon porn I liked better, because I liked cartoons anyway.
01:05:23.000 Well, there you go.
01:05:24.000 So this is that, is it?
01:05:25.000 Because they like games and everything.
01:05:27.000 Young Putin, you're that generation.
01:05:28.000 Yeah, I mean, the big one for my generation is GTA V. There's going to the strip club.
01:05:33.000 Oh, and that's enough?
01:05:34.000 Yeah, so this is like the next step on from that.
01:05:37.000 You go to Grand Theft Auto, you go to the strip club in Grand Theft Auto, and then you're like, well, I like her.
01:05:44.000 So, tell that young lady, ask her what time she gets off work.
01:05:47.000 Well, given that she's just some code, it don't matter.
01:05:51.000 She's at work, she's not at work.
01:05:53.000 But then I suppose you could say that if we are all projections of a higher consciousness and we're just playing out in the sort of intelligent data format of organic matter, then perhaps everything is an illusion.
01:06:03.000 And this was the very first question that I asked Radhanath Swamy, an enlightened priest that I met some time ago when I was about 26.
01:06:09.000 I goes, oh, so the world's an illusion, is it?
01:06:11.000 So, like, when I'm playing on my Xbox, I'm in an illusion in the illusion.
01:06:15.000 And he actually was unable to give me a clear answer.
01:06:18.000 They simply asked me to leave the temple.
01:06:20.000 Said, you're not welcome here, you're ruining things.
01:06:22.000 Stop doing that stripping.
01:06:23.000 For God's sake, put that orange down!
01:06:26.000 Although it's a bloody good looking one.
01:06:28.000 You can stay with us for a question and answer sesh in two minutes.

01:06:39.000 Sometimes people just stay there, chatting amongst themselves after we've gone, which I frankly find offensive.
01:06:45.000 Next week, we've got a fantastic show.
01:06:46.000 Vandana Shiva, Yanis Varoufakis, we'll be getting Yeezy on, of course, at some point.
01:06:50.000 Elon Musk, as long as we've not offended him.
01:06:51.000 I better text him.
01:06:52.000 I better text Elon.
01:06:53.000 But more important than any of those people is you!
01:06:56.000 You are who we make this show for.
