Stay Free - Russel Brand - Stay Free with Russell Brand #013 - Trump Wants Peace - So Who's The Real Fascist?

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

00:00:26.000 I'm going to get the camera.

00:11:07.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:11:19.000 Ah, you've joined us, haven't you, for Stay Free with Russell Brand, live on Rumble, then in full on Rumble later, or now, if that's when you're watching it.

00:11:28.000 Just reading about Gandhi.

00:11:30.000 Yep, yep, that's what's possible.

00:11:32.000 Brilliant stuff.

00:11:33.000 Remember that the same divine light that inspired Gandhi is available Welcome to All of Us Now, accessible within.

00:11:39.000 We can determine our realities through personal choices.

00:11:43.000 May we be guided by the highest principle.

00:11:46.000 Today the theme of the show is Trump wants peace.

00:11:49.000 Do you remember that rally he was doing?

00:11:50.000 Those lovely rallies.

00:11:51.000 At it, there was a bit where he said, um, let's have peace, didn't he?

00:11:56.000 And, uh, that's not a fascistic perspective generally, is it?

00:12:00.000 How are our perspectives altering so radically, vacillating wildly?

00:12:04.000 It used to be, don't you remember when you grew up, that the people that wanted peace were the goodies, and the people that wanted war were the baddies, like literally in Star Wars and everything.

00:12:13.000 You said he's not a fascist.

00:12:14.000 Is that your position here?

00:12:15.000 Is he a fascist?

00:12:17.000 What do you mean by a fascist?

00:12:18.000 I mean, you let me know in the chat.

00:12:20.000 Because who cares what I think?

00:12:21.000 Me and my close family.

00:12:23.000 But we care about what you think.

00:12:24.000 Let us know in the chat.

00:12:25.000 What do you think?

00:12:26.000 Is Trump a fascist?

00:12:27.000 Who are the real fascists?

00:12:28.000 How is control being implemented on your personal consciousness?

00:12:33.000 You remember, of course you do, when Michel Foucault talked about biopolitics, that ultimately politics would take place in life itself.

00:12:40.000 Look at how our consciousness is manipulated and managed.

00:12:43.000 Look where our attention is focused.

00:12:46.000 Look at how... On YouTube the other day, we were going to do a video.

00:12:49.000 You saw it.

00:12:49.000 We did do a video.

00:12:50.000 If you're watching us on Rumble, you saw that video.

00:12:52.000 We did a video about that Pfizer executive saying we didn't do trials on transmission.

00:12:58.000 Now, we were about to put that up on YouTube, but we've had one strike!

00:13:02.000 Haven't we?

00:13:02.000 We've had a strike on there.

00:13:04.000 And we thought, we better not put it up, because we're getting all sorts of grief.

00:13:07.000 Hey, if you're watching this in the chat, look, people are saying Trump's not a fascist.

00:13:10.000 And people have given us a fiver to say, let's go, Brandon.

00:13:14.000 I don't mind saying things like that.

00:13:15.000 I like him.

00:13:16.000 Let's do his thing.

00:13:22.000 We've got some news about that guy, actually.

00:13:23.000 Obviously, in our country, England, the pound has, wait a minute, the Chancellor's been sacked, and it means that the pound has gone Up a bit.

00:13:31.000 So that's good news for the pound.

00:13:33.000 It's there now.

00:13:35.000 We just keep sacking people.

00:13:37.000 Just sack another one. 0.69

00:13:39.000 The bloody thing will be through the roof. 0.54

00:13:40.000 It'll just be peeping down. 0.72

00:13:40.000 It'll be like that. 0.72

00:13:41.000 It'll just be able to, like, upskirt the pound.

00:13:44.000 There it is, the saucy bloody thing.

00:13:45.000 Oh no, not that angle, Dan.

00:13:46.000 Oh, I can't see a side of a pound!

00:13:48.000 You've sacked too many people!

00:13:49.000 Side of a pound!

00:13:50.000 God, that was horrible, wasn't it?

00:13:52.000 Oh, God, yeah.

00:13:53.000 That was unpleasant quantums.

00:13:55.000 All right, Biden.

00:13:57.000 So, yeah, that's good to pound off a bit.

00:13:58.000 Biden says Putin totally miscalculated Russia's ability to occupy Ukraine.

00:14:04.000 Some of you will be old enough to remember something that got said about two years ago, where he said like he was going to really sort Putin out.

00:14:12.000 Have a look at this and just tell me what it makes you feel.

00:14:15.000 Note your stomach, your heart, your head, all of it, just as Biden says these things.

00:14:20.000 Because Putin knows if I am President of the United States, his days of tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern Europe are over.

00:14:29.000 Do people actually mean it when they say stuff like that?

00:14:32.000 Like that international diplomacy, geopolitics between historic enemies, a nation like Russia that's gone through the Bolshevik revolution, executed their own royal family, somehow bought down Putin, a great mystic at the heart of power, and now, post the Soviet era, are reforming potentially with some imperial goals, although Aaron Maté, guest on the show later, says that Russia are not expansionist beyond former Soviet territories, hence the current conflict.

00:15:02.000 Do you think that a man like Putin would be intimidated, not by Joe Biden personally, I don't engage in that kind of tittle-tattle mudslinging, but by anybody that you go, oh no, this guy looks I'm going to stand up to him.

00:15:14.000 Look, he can't even replace one of the light bulbs.

00:15:16.000 There's only one of them working.

00:15:18.000 Oh God.

00:15:19.000 The guy can't replace his light bulbs.

00:15:20.000 I'll tell you what that'll be.

00:15:21.000 It's a dimmer switch.

00:15:22.000 And he's gone too low on the dimmer, the bloody thing's flicked off.

00:15:24.000 Oh no.

00:15:25.000 That's, yeah, that sort of grandstanding when you can't even illuminate your own backdrop 0.98

00:15:31.000 seems absolutely ridiculous.

00:15:33.000 Even a couple of years ago he looked a bit healthier. 0.84

00:15:35.000 Let's let him finish.

00:15:36.000 I'm going to stand up to him. 1.00

00:15:38.000 He's a bully. 0.99

00:15:39.000 Just like the President. 0.99

00:15:41.000 Because it looks like he's, he's not talking to camera is it?

00:15:43.000 It looks like they've just captured him saying that to someone.

00:15:46.000 Sorry, Joe, who are you talking to?

00:15:47.000 It's actually past your bedtime.

00:15:48.000 Go to bed.

00:15:50.000 Stop making these weird threats to Putin.

00:15:51.000 I don't think there's anyone there.

00:15:54.000 That's like a sort of an Amazon ring that he's talking to.

00:15:57.000 He's just meant to be making a simple delivery.

00:16:00.000 Gotten caught up in some international rhetoric, the poor sod.

00:16:05.000 And I know he doesn't want me to be President, but to tell you what, we're going to have

00:16:08.000 When I'm President, things are going to change.

00:16:10.000 That's delightful, really, isn't it?

00:16:12.000 Once again, recourse to the extraterrestrial observers who must look down and think, what is it that they're doing down there?

00:16:19.000 What are they trying to achieve?

00:16:20.000 Where are they going?

00:16:21.000 Let's have a look at Joe Biden now.

00:16:24.000 Things have got a bit worse, really, Ross.

00:16:26.000 Have they?

00:16:27.000 Well, he says things are going to change, but it's escalated to a terrifying war.

00:16:31.000 Let's have a look.

00:16:34.000 Mr. President, will you talk to us about Putin, sir?

00:16:41.000 You think Obamacare is coming, sir?

00:16:48.000 There's no point in running to a helicopter because a helicopter saves you so much time travelling by helicopter that the run to it, that's pointless.

00:16:56.000 Because like a journey that would take you 4-5 hours by car, in a helicopter, 15 minutes.

00:17:02.000 So that little jog there... It's pointless, wasn't it?

00:17:07.000 The level of scrutiny and self-consciousness that office must bring requires, I think, the kind of magnificent ego that Donald Trump brought automatically to it.

00:17:22.000 I guess you can't get into that position without a degree of egocentrism, even particularly, I suppose, as our culture is Predicated around materialism, individualism, we all believe that everything is outside of us, even on the most rudimentary level.

00:17:38.000 I'll be happy if I get this, I'll be happy if I get that.

00:17:40.000 No one thinks, my role in life is to let go of my own selfishness and find a way to make myself useful to everyone.

00:17:49.000 Be simply kind and compassionate.

00:17:50.000 That's not the prevailing mentality.

00:17:53.000 So I suppose you're gonna get a culture where presidents say things, well when I'm president things will bloody well change.

00:17:59.000 I was quite impressed that he was doing that run, though.

00:18:01.000 It's a good job he went on a stage.

00:18:02.000 Yeah, no, he'd have to run in the wrong direction.

00:18:04.000 No, the helicopter's that thing with the whirling blades at the top of it!

00:18:08.000 God bless you!

00:18:09.000 Maybe people just need to shout when they get him off a stage.

00:18:11.000 Just say, Armageddon's coming!

00:18:12.000 And then he'll do a runner.

00:18:13.000 Maybe that's the solution.

00:18:15.000 Yeah, if you just confront him with perhaps he's... What about that thing you said?

00:18:19.000 Are you going to make Saudi Arabia a pariah?

00:18:21.000 Boom! 0.99

00:18:22.000 Look at him!

00:18:22.000 He's died off!

00:18:23.000 He found his mark!

00:18:25.000 Capital attack panel votes to subpoena Trump.

00:18:27.000 What does that mean?

00:18:28.000 That he's going to be... Well, I mean, I can see what it means from those words.

00:18:31.000 It means he's going to be subpoenaed.

00:18:32.000 It means he'll potentially have to testify.

00:18:35.000 I mean, he's tweeted back.

00:18:37.000 He said, why didn't the on-select committee ask... I won't do it in his voice.

00:18:41.000 He won't have tweeted.

00:18:42.000 He will have truth social.

00:18:43.000 He's truth social.

00:18:43.000 You're absolutely right.

00:18:44.000 Not now.

00:18:45.000 Not until Elon's deal goes through.

00:18:47.000 Then you might get a tweet from Trump.

00:18:49.000 So he said, why didn't unselect committee ask me to testify months ago?

00:18:53.000 Why did they wait until the very end, the final moments of the last meeting?

00:18:56.000 Because the committee is a total bust, he says.

00:18:59.000 The committee is a total bust.

00:19:01.000 Well, Nancy Pelosi, there's footage of her that day saying what she would do if Trump did present himself.

00:19:08.000 Let's have a look at that. 0.98

00:19:10.000 I'm going to punch him out. 0.99

00:19:12.000 That's all I know. 1.00

00:19:13.000 I'm waiting for this.

00:19:15.000 I suppose what it is, is that they're normal people.

00:19:25.000 That they're normal people that have to pretend to be unusual for spells when it's appropriate in order to justify privilege.

00:19:34.000 And then at points they say sort of mad stuff like that.

00:19:36.000 She's aware of the cameras.

00:19:37.000 She's not really gonna... No, and go to jail and then be happy. 1.00

00:19:41.000 I'll punch Trump, that's the first thing. 0.99

00:19:43.000 Then I'm off to jail now. 1.00

00:19:44.000 Oh no, I'm happy.

00:19:45.000 I'm happy, look.

00:19:46.000 Also, when she says punch, now I'll come to you as a fighting expert.

00:19:48.000 Yep.

00:19:49.000 When she says punch, she does this action.

00:19:52.000 That's not actually a punch.

00:19:53.000 What you've done there is, I mean, what is that?

00:19:55.000 Is that tap?

00:19:56.000 Chop?

00:19:57.000 Chop.

00:19:57.000 That's a kind of chop.

00:19:58.000 At best, that's a chop.

00:20:00.000 But them lot at the moment, yeah, they were gripped by terror, weren't they?

00:20:05.000 They're masked up from one another.

00:20:07.000 They're gripped by fear.

00:20:08.000 Of course, Nancy Pelosi does have some previous for violence. 1.00

00:20:11.000 Here she is carrying out a threat against a child, just to the side of her, who's potentially infringing upon a photograph, though we still don't really know what drove Nancy to hustle that kid so hard. 1.00

00:20:23.000 Flores claims Pelosi tried to shove her young daughter out of the way during her swearing-in ceremony last week. 0.86

00:20:31.000 Irritated by that child.

00:20:33.000 All right, so energy crisis could lead to more people making hazardous heating choices.

00:20:37.000 Insurer warns, like, people are going to use candles.

00:20:40.000 But candles aren't that hazardous.

00:20:41.000 Look, we've got one here. 1.00

00:20:43.000 Whoops, dead shit! 1.00

00:20:44.000 Oh my God, the whole place could go up! 1.00

00:20:46.000 There's a thatched roof in here as well.

00:20:48.000 So far, though, we're pretty safe, aren't we?

00:20:49.000 Yeah.

00:20:50.000 Not brought too much jeopardy to us, there's the old candle.

00:20:54.000 When we talk to Aaron Maté, we talk about how all of these things intersect.

00:20:58.000 The war between Russia and Ukraine, the ongoing support from NATO, the claims of Putin's unique status as a tyrant and dictator looking for a new Russian hegemony, the cost of living crisis, and indeed, most importantly, whether or not The institutions and elites with the most power can withstand even nuclear Armageddon.

00:21:21.000 Is it possible that given that crises usually benefit the most powerful interests in society, e.g.

00:21:27.000 2008, terrible crisis, ruins loads of people's lives, the richest people in the world get richer, 2019, pandemic, ruins loads of people's lives, Big tech gets richer.

00:21:37.000 Big pharma gets richer.

00:21:38.000 The richest people in the world get richer.

00:21:40.000 Is it possible that that could be chased right into the jaws of death?

00:21:44.000 Right into the fire and brimstone mouth of hell itself?

00:21:47.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:21:48.000 Let me know in the comments what you think.

00:21:49.000 Is this part of some dreadful master plan to annihilate the entire planet?

00:21:54.000 I sincerely hope not.

00:21:54.000 I don't know.

00:21:55.000 I was just getting into my stride.

00:21:56.000 Just getting used to it in this place.

00:21:57.000 We've got enough worries with that candle, haven't we?

00:21:59.000 Yeah, that could... Watch out for that.

00:22:00.000 Just keep one eye on it, is what I would say.

00:22:03.000 Camilla may not...

00:22:06.000 Camilla Parker Bowles, Queen now, may not wear a jewel-encrusted crown at the coronation because of its links to British colonial past.

00:22:13.000 That's the level of gestural politics that we live within.

00:22:18.000 They're trying to do sort of a toned-down coronation.

00:22:22.000 I'm not going to look at that crown though.

00:22:23.000 Is this crown too much?

00:22:24.000 Let's just wear a gentle tiara.

00:22:26.000 You can't mitigate the true meaning of monarchy.

00:22:31.000 Monarchy is about enshrining power and privilege.

00:22:34.000 Monarchy is about supremacy.

00:22:36.000 Monarchy is about privilege and elevation.

00:22:39.000 It's literally a coronation.

00:22:41.000 It's saying this person is better than everyone else.

00:22:44.000 Not that much better because the crown's not that bejeweled.

00:22:47.000 You can't mitigate that with gestures.

00:22:50.000 Do you want to know what they're going to do about it?

00:22:52.000 Less flash crown?

00:22:53.000 Palace officials are understood to be reviewing whether she should wear the jewel.

00:22:57.000 Options could include the removal of the diamond and its mount, replacement with a crystal replica, or Camilla could opt for another crown, because there's other crowns.

00:23:05.000 So there isn't an option at the moment of just giving it back. 0.96

00:23:07.000 Just give that bloody thing back! 1.00

00:23:09.000 No. 0.99

00:23:10.000 Wear a MAGA hat!

00:23:11.000 Wear a tinfoil hat!

00:23:13.000 Wear something like young Putin's wearing there for reasons that I don't even understand.

00:23:17.000 Sue B and Will there who handle your comments, keep your comments coming.

00:23:21.000 Why are you wearing that World War II helmet?

00:23:24.000 Well, I didn't actually decide this, but you know, we've got a theme going with me wearing...

00:23:29.000 Yeah, because you look like Lord Alfred Douglas, lover of Oscar Wilde.

00:23:34.000 You look a bit like, who else?

00:23:36.000 Putin, most obviously.

00:23:38.000 And now who else do you look like?

00:23:39.000 Apparently I look like Captain America, but not the good Captain America.

00:23:43.000 Not when he's sexy?

00:23:44.000 No.

00:23:44.000 When he's, when he's still all fragile?

00:23:47.000 You look like fragile... Yeah, you do look like...

00:23:47.000 Oh yeah.

00:23:52.000 When he was trying his hardest.

00:23:54.000 Who's made this remark to you?

00:23:55.000 I think it was Soobie actually.

00:23:57.000 Soobie said you look like... Yeah, I put it on for a laugh and Soobie went, you look like Captain America.

00:24:02.000 Before he's had the serum.

00:24:03.000 But you'd refuse to take that serum, wouldn't you?

00:24:05.000 What's in that Serene Giant taking that?

00:24:08.000 How do we know?

00:24:09.000 Who's making money off that stuff?

00:24:10.000 Of course he would, little conspiracy theorist.

00:24:12.000 There we go.

00:24:13.000 Let us know who you think he looks like in the chat.

00:24:15.000 I mean, which one?

00:24:16.000 Lord Alfred Douglas, former lover of wild?

00:24:19.000 Putin, as a youth?

00:24:20.000 Or Chris Pine, Pratt?

00:24:22.000 I never know which Chris they are.

00:24:23.000 There's so many Chrises. 1.00

00:24:25.000 Evans before he got jabbed up, jabbed up into a Superman.

00:24:29.000 And actually, interestingly, the Avengers are now allying with Pfizer, aren't they, for a new push now that Pfizer's products have to be purchased privately.

00:24:38.000 They're not going to be purchased publicly no more.

00:24:41.000 The government ain't going to buy no more.

00:24:42.000 So Pfizer and Marvel are teaming up to promote booster shots.

00:24:48.000 So watch out for that.

00:24:49.000 We'll do a story on that.

00:24:50.000 Get a magazine out of it though.

00:24:51.000 You get a magazine out of it.

00:24:51.000 Huh?

00:24:53.000 How do you mean?

00:24:53.000 Well, it's in a magazine.

00:24:54.000 Well, they're not doing nothing.

00:24:56.000 They've got a magazine.

00:24:57.000 Who's got the magazine?

00:24:58.000 Well, you can have a magazine with... What I'm saying is, it's not just about, you know, selling the vaccine, is it?

00:25:05.000 You get a magazine and also there's a positive affiliation between supremacy... You know like when you get a magazine and you get some free sweets or something?

00:25:05.000 Oh, I see.

00:25:13.000 And a booster.

00:25:14.000 It's that, innit?

00:25:15.000 Or like a Peppa the Pig sort of Pez head.

00:25:17.000 That's right, yeah.

00:25:18.000 Something like that.

00:25:19.000 Yeah, OK, fair enough.

00:25:20.000 You also get the magazine.

00:25:22.000 Russia's probably going to ban Facebook because they see it as a terrorist organisation.

00:25:27.000 Yeah, they do.

00:25:28.000 Fair enough.

00:25:30.000 Birth rate slump hints at Covid sex drought.

00:25:34.000 I don't know if people had more sex during Covid.

00:25:37.000 Apparently not.

00:25:39.000 All that proximity, if you get trapped you can't cope anymore.

00:25:42.000 People apparently were scared of the future, which had nothing to do with the news.

00:25:46.000 The future?

00:25:46.000 Well yeah.

00:25:47.000 That's everything that's not now or the past.

00:25:50.000 That's too vast to handle.

00:25:51.000 They were worried about what was going to happen.

00:25:53.000 Oh yeah, it's a scary thing, the future.

00:25:55.000 Trying to think about it would be my advice.

00:25:58.000 I think it's like in captivity. 0.82

00:25:59.000 You know, it's very hard to get a panda to have sex in captivity.

00:26:03.000 It didn't want to.

00:26:04.000 Have you tried that?

00:26:07.000 When I let it out into the garden though, it was well up for it.

00:26:11.000 Best trip to Beijing I ever had.

00:26:13.000 400 grand worth of meth hidden in pumpkins.

00:26:16.000 Johnny Depp unrecognisable as he poses for selfies.

00:26:19.000 How do you know it's Johnny Depp then?

00:26:21.000 He's unrecognisable.

00:26:23.000 Might not be him.

00:26:24.000 Could be anyone.

00:26:25.000 Usually they exaggerate, but they've got a point, maybe.

00:26:28.000 Hey, I'm Johnny Depp!

00:26:32.000 Well, anyway, I like Johnny Depp.

00:26:35.000 I accept Johnny Depp however he is.

00:26:36.000 There don't need to be no way for me to love you, Johnny.

00:26:40.000 That's what I'd say.

00:26:41.000 They always put those drugs in condoms. 1.00

00:26:43.000 What do you mean by that?

00:26:44.000 It's nothing to do with Johnny Depp.

00:26:46.000 Why are you saying that now?

00:26:48.000 The previous story.

00:26:49.000 You went back a story?

00:26:49.000 I went back a story.

00:26:50.000 You jumped back to the previous thing?

00:26:52.000 I didn't want you to feel bad about Johnny Depp.

00:26:54.000 Yeah, I love Johnny Depp.

00:26:56.000 So what do you mean?

00:26:59.000 Drunk in condoms?

00:27:00.000 They were inside the pumpkin.

00:27:02.000 And in a condom.

00:27:03.000 In a condom.

00:27:04.000 Yeah, the condom's protecting the drug, the meth, and the pumpkin is just, I suppose, a temporary place.

00:27:10.000 Who's doing these drug deals?

00:27:11.000 Scooby-Doo?

00:27:12.000 Go down to the pumpkin patch, we do a drug deal!

00:27:15.000 Do it down an alley or by a bridge or something!

00:27:18.000 Or in a fast food restaurant!

00:27:20.000 Go down to a pumpkin patch?

00:27:22.000 What is this?

00:27:23.000 What kind of drug deal are you doing there?

00:27:25.000 Halloween drug deals.

00:27:26.000 Right, on theme, on message, Christmas time, see you down Lapland baby, for some drugs, let's get high! 0.90

00:27:32.000 And then like Easter, chocolate egg, little nest egg, all full of drugs.

00:27:36.000 It's alright, a little Barney maybe?

00:27:39.000 Maybe, Gareth.

00:27:40.000 I don't know.

00:27:41.000 I've never done it, so I have no idea.

00:27:42.000 Well, I don't know if you've mentioned this to you, but I took a lot of drugs, and that's what makes me so approachable and a man of the old people, the drug people. 1.00

00:27:51.000 Let me know if you're on drugs right now.

00:27:52.000 It's bad.

00:27:53.000 It was a tough upbringing, was it?

00:27:54.000 You didn't mind how you got it, did you?

00:27:55.000 Huh?

00:27:56.000 You didn't know where it had been or anything. 0.56

00:27:58.000 You don't worry about that when you're a drug addict.

00:27:59.000 No.

00:28:00.000 You take it out of each other's mouths, all sorts of stuff.

00:28:00.000 Your standards drop.

00:28:02.000 You stick things up your bum. 0.98

00:28:04.000 It's all off on holiday. 0.97

00:28:05.000 But what about the drugs, though?

00:28:06.000 Well, sometimes, yeah, I would just simply do that because I couldn't get my hand on any drugs.

00:28:13.000 Luxury fashion house Valenciaga is flogging a high-vis bin man style jacket for a lot of money, almost laughing in the face.

00:28:21.000 There's a lot of inequality there.

00:28:23.000 It's so close, isn't it?

00:28:24.000 It's almost, that's not even a comment on a high-vis jacket.

00:28:27.000 That's just an expensive high-vis jacket.

00:28:30.000 Let's have a look at the Valenciaga fashion show where they trot that thing out with what look like knight's leggings.

00:28:36.000 You know, knights of old leggings.

00:28:37.000 Let's have a look at those guys.

00:28:39.000 ♪♪ We aren't a parody in a way you'd think,

00:28:48.000 but we have parody a little bit because there's a bit of music from a British sitcom

00:28:51.000 called Steptoe and Son that will undermine anything in the fashion industry used correctly.

00:28:56.000 ♪♪ -♪♪

00:29:01.000 They should be made to use that music.

00:29:03.000 They should be made to use that music at fashion shows so that they can understand how senseless it is what they're doing.

00:29:09.000 Once in the same week, I went to Africa to do something at this British charity called Comic Relief.

00:29:13.000 I went to a place in Uganda, I think, and I was on a rubbish dump where children were foraging in the rubbish and there was all sorts of sex crimes and gang stuff going on there.

00:29:23.000 And they told me that this was the cradle of civilization where most archaeological evidence suggests humankind sprang from this region.

00:29:31.000 And as I had that explained to me, I thought, this is it.

00:29:34.000 This is the end of the world.

00:29:35.000 If anywhere is experiencing this much devastation and poverty and suffering, there's no hope for us.

00:29:41.000 And then a week later, because I was being a celebrity... Oh yeah.

00:29:45.000 I was in Paris Fashion Week.

00:29:46.000 Did the kids know?

00:29:47.000 Did they appreciate it?

00:29:48.000 My kids, the African kids. 1.00

00:29:49.000 I don't dare mention it to them, Gareth.

00:29:51.000 I was like, I was off to Paris.

00:29:52.000 Listen, this looks terrible, all this.

00:29:54.000 They find like bottle tops and that.

00:29:57.000 Give me some of those!

00:29:59.000 And then the next week I was in Paris Fashion Week watching like a John Galliano show where there were these bubbles filled with smoke.

00:30:07.000 My, my, I couldn't hold it together that I'd had these two experiences so close together, that on one planet, those things were happening. 0.85

00:30:14.000 Like, if it was a human individual, it would be someone whose face was amazing and beautiful, but their ass was hanging out, or they had cancer throughout their abdomen. 0.60

00:30:22.000 We're not living in a congruent reality, and on some level, we feel it. 0.99

00:30:26.000 I suppose that's what, as I said before, the ridicule of Joe Biden is about, is his evident ineptitude as a communicator makes it obvious that it's a type of fear.

00:30:35.000 And if you create a situation where what is most prized is people being able to communicate well or perform well, then you're gonna get those kind of figures rise up.

00:30:45.000 And someone like Trump, who when we speak to Aram Ma'ay in a little bit, you'll be informed, apparently made decisions that were, that actually advanced the likelihood of conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

00:30:55.000 Even Obama did deals in 2014 that made this situation worse.

00:30:59.000 Trump did deals that made that situation worse.

00:31:02.000 But, you know, both Obama and Trump were, in their own ways, very kind of beautiful, even in extremist politicians.

00:31:11.000 Great at rhetoric, great at talking, somehow symbolic of a particular set of cultural values, or even beyond cultural in the case of Trump, I sometimes feel.

00:31:22.000 Energetic!

00:31:22.000 Energic!

00:31:23.000 There's a sort of a mad polarity of glibness And because he's such a berserker, such a bull in the china shop, you know that mentality of my enemy's enemy is my friend.

00:31:34.000 Even someone like me, who, like, my primary position is a mistrust of authority, anti-establishment thinking, breakdown power, decentralised, free people wherever possible to be who they are as individuals and as a community.

00:31:48.000 Still, I find someone like Trump, who is allied to big business and corporatism and individualism in an extraordinary way, I still found it appealing. 0.98

00:31:56.000 just like this guy's smashing up this shit it's all gone proper mental have a 1.00

00:31:56.000 Get those lights off! 1.00

00:32:02.000 look at him like this is what this is how Donald Trump reacts if he's not

00:32:04.000 happy happy with lighting conditions Off! Turn them off!

00:32:11.000 They're too bright!

00:32:13.000 Turn them off!

00:32:15.000 It's nice sort of energy to feel.

00:32:17.000 Turn them off!

00:32:18.000 They should just put that out as public information now.

00:32:21.000 They're too bright!

00:32:21.000 Turn them off!

00:32:23.000 Yeah, they are too bright.

00:32:24.000 That's how to reduce your energy bills.

00:32:25.000 Get them off! 1.00

00:32:26.000 Use a candle!

00:32:27.000 Be careful of it!

00:32:28.000 Don't burn the house down!

00:32:31.000 It's reassuring, that kind of certainty.

00:32:33.000 Who needs doubt?

00:32:34.000 I once heard that the mental condition psychosis is defined by certainty and neurosis is defined by doubt.

00:32:42.000 The psychotic is certain, the neurotic is doubtful.

00:32:45.000 Oh my God, oh my God, what do I do?

00:32:46.000 Oh Jesus! 1.00

00:32:48.000 I will kill you! 1.00

00:32:51.000 Fucking hell! 1.00

00:32:52.000 We all know psychosis when we're confronted with it. 0.99

00:32:55.000 But I know a bunch of you lot love Trump and I know loads of you don't love Trump.

00:32:59.000 Me?

00:32:59.000 I love you whoever you are.

00:33:01.000 And what I'm interested in is a deep excavation until we get to the truth of who we all are really.

00:33:07.000 Individual points of attention operating within a limitless whole that can create new realities through our imagination.

00:33:14.000 That might sound highfalutin but all reality is a consequence of imagination or cultural reality.

00:33:19.000 Not a tree, you know.

00:33:20.000 I guess that's actually there by its own accord.

00:33:23.000 Anyway, Gareth, we're not here to discuss whether or not there is a deep ontological truth underlying nature, or are we?

00:33:30.000 We can do whatever we want, can't we?

00:33:31.000 Actually, we can do whatever we want.

00:33:33.000 There's no barriers to that, certainly.

00:33:35.000 Should we do this thing?

00:33:36.000 Well, we did a...

00:33:38.000 Well, we've got an item. 0.99

00:33:39.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:33:39.000 Here's the news. 0.99

00:33:40.000 And we did it about Trump calling for an immediate peaceful end to the war in Ukraine at a recent rally in Nevada.

00:33:47.000 Some analysts estimate that your country, if you're American, spend $110 million a day in the Ukraine.

00:33:52.000 Let me tell you a few more things about the military.

00:33:54.000 As you know, I'm up all night.

00:33:56.000 Hang on.

00:33:56.000 Oh, not again.

00:33:57.000 Burning the midnight oil.

00:33:58.000 I've always seemed a bit tired.

00:33:59.000 A bit irresponsible to burn the midnight oil in an energy crisis.

00:34:02.000 Got it from Saudi Arabia.

00:34:03.000 Done a special deal.

00:34:05.000 The Pentagon spent 14 trillion after 9-11.

00:34:09.000 Up to half of it went to for-profit defence contractors.

00:34:12.000 7 trillion of it to, like, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, all them guys.

00:34:15.000 You see them on the telly, on CNN, going, I think war's the only way.

00:34:18.000 Why do you think war's the only way? 0.51

00:34:19.000 Dunno.

00:34:20.000 Like, got a job, a company, makes weapons and that.

00:34:23.000 Oh, but they don't ask that question, do they?

00:34:24.000 They don't.

00:34:25.000 How are you feeling about the strike, Galm?

00:34:28.000 You know, the strike?

00:34:29.000 Which one?

00:34:29.000 The YouTube strike.

00:34:31.000 Oh, that one.

00:34:31.000 I'm doing that with Gandhi's face.

00:34:32.000 Sorry, mate.

00:34:33.000 No, it's the wrong message.

00:34:35.000 It's non-violence.

00:34:36.000 You'd have hated that.

00:34:37.000 What was, like, the YouTube strike that we had?

00:34:38.000 Do you feel like it's bad?

00:34:40.000 Well, it's not ideal.

00:34:42.000 Why are we getting a strike?

00:34:43.000 One strike for making a mistake. 1.00

00:34:44.000 We said, by mistake... No, it was his fault, that little bastard over there. 0.99

00:34:48.000 Little Captain America before the vaccine. 0.98

00:34:51.000 Said, he said, like, oh yeah, ivermectin, they've clinically trialled it now.

00:34:55.000 We went, oh right, cool.

00:34:56.000 But actually, what it said on the government website is we're clinically trialling it at the moment and subject to these clinical trials, we would recommend it as a treatment.

00:35:04.000 We apologise for it.

00:35:05.000 But we've still got a strikey-strikey.

00:35:06.000 So yesterday, instead of putting up our video about Jane Small, the executive at Pfizer, saying to Rob Roos, like he's Dutch, isn't he?

00:35:15.000 So beautifully blonde.

00:35:16.000 So much thick, coarse, lovely Dutch hair. 0.78

00:35:18.000 Yeah, almost unbelievably blonde.

00:35:20.000 You're so blonde. 1.00

00:35:21.000 What have you got that lovely blonde hair for? 1.00

00:35:23.000 Blessed.

00:35:24.000 Blessed with blonde hair.

00:35:25.000 That's a blessing.

00:35:26.000 I'd like to look down at his scalp.

00:35:27.000 I'd like to see how close those follicles are to one another.

00:35:30.000 They're bunched up!

00:35:32.000 Like thick lips!

00:35:33.000 Barely a gap.

00:35:34.000 Barely got quit now, you could get a right handful of that stuff.

00:35:37.000 Anyway, like we did a video where we said, hold on a minute, I was under the distinct impression that there was a general sense that the vaccines were going to prevent transmission.

00:35:47.000 And now everyone's acting like that weren't happening.

00:35:49.000 Like Rachel Maddow didn't go get the vaccine, stops with you. 1.00

00:35:52.000 Like Joe Biden said, pandemic of the unvaccinated.

00:35:56.000 Even our man Trump, he loved it.

00:35:58.000 Beautiful vaccines, I made beautiful vaccines.

00:36:00.000 Well that's because he invented them.

00:36:02.000 I invented fantastic record time.

00:36:04.000 Like, he really took a lot of credit for those things.

00:36:06.000 But now, there's very little to suggest that it stops transmission at all.

00:36:10.000 So we didn't put our video on YouTube.

00:36:12.000 You can only watch it on Rumble.

00:36:13.000 Have a look at it, and for God's sake, rumble it.

00:36:16.000 Rumble it like you mean it.

00:36:17.000 Don't half-arse rumble it, because the rumbles, they help us.

00:36:21.000 They surge us to the forefront.

00:36:23.000 Anyway, we'll be talking about that and showing that video.

00:36:24.000 That video is already up on Rumble.

00:36:26.000 It's on Rumble.

00:36:27.000 It's on Rumble.

00:36:27.000 It's the only place you can watch it.

00:36:28.000 It's the only place we're allowed to say it.

00:36:30.000 I don't want us to be regarded as crackpots though, Gal.

00:36:33.000 Absolutely not.

00:36:34.000 Because I want us to be regarded as a sort of shamanic truth tellers trying to hold together the polarity of chaos And order.

00:36:44.000 Acknowledging you can be humorous about serious subjects.

00:36:47.000 John Cleese says people mistake solemnity for seriousness. 1.00

00:36:51.000 You can be stupid about the most serious things in life. 1.00

00:36:55.000 Children. 1.00

00:36:56.000 Death.

00:36:57.000 These are all things that you have to joke about.

00:36:57.000 Marriage.

00:37:00.000 Solemnity.

00:37:01.000 Being solemn.

00:37:02.000 They do that to sort of take the joy out of life.

00:37:04.000 Yeah, also I think the issue with the video we had is that it goes against YouTube guidelines.

00:37:08.000 It doesn't mean that the information is false.

00:37:10.000 Right.

00:37:11.000 YouTube guidelines.

00:37:12.000 And YouTube guidelines, as it says explicitly, mirror the WHO and local health authority guidance.

00:37:19.000 And the WHO, guess who funds it?

00:37:21.000 Before you can put it in the chat, before you can put that in the chat, I'll tell you.

00:37:24.000 The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are the second biggest funders of the WHO.

00:37:29.000 So do you want a regulatory body with that much authority, not even the explicit authority within their remit, but tangential authority taken on by big tech?

00:37:38.000 We can't pretend anymore that democracy is a real thing.

00:37:40.000 It's out of your reach.

00:37:42.000 You can't do anything.

00:37:43.000 You can't do anything.

00:37:44.000 Years ago, there was no point voting like that.

00:37:46.000 I was being a bit glib, a bit blasé, a bit laissez-faire, a bit insouciant.

00:37:51.000 But the fact is, I was BAM right.

00:37:54.000 Weren't I?

00:37:55.000 Yeah, some people didn't think so.

00:37:56.000 They was wrong!

00:37:58.000 They was BAM wrong.

00:37:59.000 Oh yeah, but people died.

00:38:01.000 Yeah, that's why it SHOULD... I didn't say it SHOULDN'T mean anything.

00:38:04.000 I said it DOESN'T mean anything.

00:38:06.000 Oh look, he's getting all riled up again.

00:38:07.000 It SHOULD! 1.00

00:38:08.000 That's the fucking pulpit. 1.00

00:38:09.000 Oh no. 1.00

00:38:10.000 I've been watching too many Hitler documentaries.

00:38:11.000 Oh God.

00:38:12.000 Not, you know, like, not...

00:38:14.000 They're on the telly.

00:38:14.000 Do you know what I mean?

00:38:15.000 I'm not like seeking them out.

00:38:16.000 I'm not going to an archive in Nuremberg.

00:38:18.000 They're on television.

00:38:19.000 You don't have them in a bunker or anything, do you?

00:38:21.000 No, no, definitely not.

00:38:22.000 I can't afford bunkers.

00:38:23.000 Have you seen the prices of an half-decent one if you're going to have a Rodin in there?

00:38:27.000 Anyway, look, there's...

00:38:29.000 Look, you lot, have a look at Trump talking about the Ukraine.

00:38:32.000 We'll chat a little bit to Aaron Matt, eh?

00:38:32.000 We'll come back.

00:38:34.000 We'll look at your comments.

00:38:36.000 Remember to rumble.

00:38:36.000 Remember to chat.

00:38:37.000 If you do make any donations to us, we give it to drug addicts.

00:38:40.000 Not directly.

00:38:41.000 We give it to charities.

00:38:42.000 For example, there's a place, Treasures, in East London.

00:38:43.000 We help.

00:38:44.000 I'll tell you about that a little bit later.

00:38:45.000 We put it in little condoms and inside pumpkins.

00:38:46.000 What we do, we put that money, we stuff it in a Durex, we sling it in a pumpkin patch, and we say, go get it!

00:38:54.000 Go get it, guys!

00:38:56.000 Good luck with your future!

00:38:58.000 Good luck replacing what the drugs were doing for you!

00:39:01.000 Them crazy old drugs, you were using them to transcend your normal self, weren't you?

00:39:06.000 You were trying to access a different plane of reality!

00:39:09.000 Have a hell of a Halloween. 0.98

00:39:11.000 Go nuts! 0.84

00:39:14.000 Have a lovely Halloween, express yourself! 0.96

00:39:16.000 I'm cracking it.

00:39:19.000 Oh boy, oh no!

00:39:19.000 Yeah?

00:39:22.000 Let me know in the chat what you think was happening then. 0.98

00:39:24.000 Don't be disgusting!

00:39:26.000 Time now for Here's the News. 1.00

00:39:27.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:39:29.000 Thanks for watching Fox News. 1.00

00:39:31.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:39:33.000 Trump wants a peaceful end to the war between Russia and Ukraine. 1.00

00:39:39.000 The bloody fascist. 0.97

00:39:41.000 What is fascist again? 1.00

00:39:44.000 What is Trump up to with these rallies?

00:39:45.000 Is he going to run in 2024?

00:39:47.000 Who knows?

00:39:48.000 Anyway, most recently, his most bold transgression is that he said that there should be a peaceful solution in the war between Russia and Ukraine. 1.00

00:39:57.000 Let's have a look at what that fascist Trump said now, the peace-loving fascist pig. 1.00

00:40:03.000 We must demand the immediate negotiation of a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine or we will end up in World War III and there will be nothing left of our planet, all because stupid people didn't have a clue. 1.00

00:40:17.000 They didn't have a clue. 1.00

00:40:19.000 Clue.

00:40:21.000 I think what he's saying is difficult to argue with.

00:40:24.000 We are engaged in a conflict, a proxy war, some have said, between the United States and Russia, both of whom are nuclear powers.

00:40:32.000 And it's not that long ago there was a contentious long Cold War, the immediate aftermath of the Second World War.

00:40:39.000 led to two polarised powers and you know in the 80s and 90s the Eastern Bloc somewhat

00:40:45.000 crumbled, Russia reformed, now Putin has risen to this position of supremacy and many people

00:40:52.000 say and doubtless it's true that he's the kind of person that would be able to run a

00:40:56.000 mighty nation like Russia and would have the kind of imperialist underpinnings that you

00:41:01.000 would anticipate.

00:41:02.000 Doubtless this war between Russia and Ukraine has complications.

00:41:05.000 Doubtless the war between Russia and Ukraine is causing a humanitarian crisis.

00:41:10.000 But once again we find ourselves in a position where it's left to Donald Trump to say things that other people should be saying.

00:41:17.000 Donald Trump is saying there needs to be a diplomatic solution or we might find ourselves in a nuclear war.

00:41:22.000 Do you not think that that's a legitimate point?

00:41:25.000 Do you not think that should be utmost in your considerations?

00:41:27.000 In this instance, you've got to be grateful that there's someone with a pulpit saying, I don't want a nuclear war, thanks.

00:41:33.000 They don't understand.

00:41:34.000 They really don't understand.

00:41:37.000 I rebuilt our military.

00:41:40.000 He's got sort of a way of talking that makes you literally imagine him doing stuff to a tank and sewing uniforms and coaching people over those walls that the Marines have to climb.

00:41:53.000 He's got a brilliantly solipsistic and wonderfully raw narcissism and it shows you that there is a dearth of viable political alternatives, that that seems like the most attractive option.

00:42:06.000 Rather than someone that's, you know, doddering about, hopeless, that spent their entire career taking corporate money that can't deliver, that says they're going to release people from prison that aren't in prison, that's the cannabis story, that says they're going to control drug prices and we beat pharma this year in a way that didn't make no difference to pharma.

00:42:22.000 We're going to make Saudi Arabia a pariah. 1.00

00:42:24.000 We're just going to carry on business as usual with Saudi Arabia.

00:42:27.000 If that's what's normal, then anything alternative to that is going to seem reasonable.

00:42:32.000 Now if war becomes normal, if that's the assumed position, we're in a war with Russia. 0.81

00:42:38.000 We're going to continue that war. 0.99

00:42:39.000 Oh, this seems a bit like what went on in Iraq, crossed with what went on in Afghanistan, a perpetual war that's beneficial to the military-industrial complex. 0.70

00:42:47.000 We can't keep promoting to the forefront of our culture adversary and condemnation of the other without looking at what our own political positions are.

00:42:55.000 I rebuilt our nuclear power.

00:42:58.000 They don't understand what they're dealing with, the power of nuclear.

00:43:02.000 They should understand the power of nuclear.

00:43:04.000 I mean, we've all seen the films and the image.

00:43:07.000 Former United States President Donald Trump has called for an immediate peaceful end to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

00:43:13.000 That seems okay. 1.00

00:43:14.000 I hope there are not American talk shows now saying, Donald Trump's been at it again, that crazy cuckoo son of a bitch asking for peace. 1.00

00:43:22.000 Trump's remarks come after Joe Biden's warning over the risk of nuclear Armageddon. 1.00

00:43:27.000 Let me present you with an idea. 1.00

00:43:28.000 Have you been coached into a state of idiocy? 0.99

00:43:31.000 Because when Joe Biden says, if things don't change, we're on the brink of Armageddon, he's the president of the United States of America. 1.00

00:43:38.000 He is in a position of samophoria.

00:43:39.000 He's not a news reporter, is he?

00:43:41.000 Like, oh, no, look what's happening.

00:43:42.000 Russia is going to be like, well, why don't you change tact? 0.97

00:43:45.000 Why don't you do something different?

00:43:47.000 Why don't you change the shape of the negotiation?

00:43:50.000 You're not like a bystander unless, of course, you sort of Are.

00:43:54.000 Unless, of course, the office of president is a sort of theatrical role.

00:43:58.000 Unless Joe Biden is a kind of puppet.

00:44:00.000 Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments what you think.

00:44:02.000 Why isn't Joe Biden saying, look, the way things are going with Russia's imperialist intentions, it looks like we could head to a nuclear war.

00:44:08.000 That's why I, as your president, will... 0.97

00:44:10.000 I assure you right now, and ensure that this situation isn't going to head towards an apocalypse, because obviously, even though there's lots of complexity here, it's pretty obvious, even to a bloody idiot, that the worst of all possible scenarios is a nuclear armageddon. 0.97

00:44:25.000 I can't think of a worse one. 0.95

00:44:27.000 Like, what would be worse than that?

00:44:28.000 Like, also, we blew up Saturn as well.

00:44:31.000 Also, the concept of God is gone now.

00:44:34.000 Also, sub-molecular stuff.

00:44:36.000 I mean, like, a nuclear war, that's literally The doomsday scenario, isn't it?

00:44:41.000 Compared to nuclear Armageddon, which we're all sort of not properly factoring, anything is favourable, isn't it?

00:44:48.000 Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments.

00:44:50.000 I hope I'm not simplifying this, but some things do seem quite simple, like end of world, not end of world.

00:44:55.000 I mean, that's relatively binary, isn't it?

00:44:57.000 Biden told Democratic donors in New York that for the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis, we have a direct threat from the use of nuclear weapons if things continue down the path they're going.

00:45:05.000 He sounded like he sat on a porch chewing a bit of straw.

00:45:08.000 He should be in there going, right, let's not go down this path anymore.

00:45:11.000 Let's change direction.

00:45:12.000 Because, you know, I don't really want to be the President of the United States that presided over the end of the world.

00:45:17.000 That might be a bit of a blot on the old copybook.

00:45:20.000 During an interview on Saturday morning's Real America's Voice, a right-wing network, Trump accused the US and its leadership of goading Putin into waging a botched invasion of Ukraine on February the 24th.

00:45:31.000 They actually taunted him.

00:45:32.000 If you really look at it, our country and our so-called leadership taunted Putin.

00:45:36.000 Trump said, I'd like to hear him say that.

00:45:38.000 They taunted him.

00:45:39.000 They taunted Putin.

00:45:40.000 They actually taunted him.

00:45:42.000 I would listen.

00:45:43.000 I would say, you know, they're almost forcing him to go in with what they're saying. 1.00

00:45:46.000 The rhetoric was so dumb. 0.96

00:45:47.000 Trump did not provide any examples of how the US or President Joe Biden taunted Putin or what the supposedly dumb rhetoric was. 1.00

00:45:56.000 Eh, he's Trump.

00:45:57.000 Earlier in the interview, the former president claimed that the war between Russia and Ukraine would never have happened if he'd won the election and served a second term.

00:46:03.000 He's always making these claims.

00:46:04.000 Ukraine and Russia would not be fighting, Trump claimed.

00:46:06.000 It doesn't mean they'd love each other, but there's no way they'd be fighting and there's no way Putin would have actually gone in.

00:46:11.000 Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, do you think this war would have happened if...

00:46:16.000 Trump had been president.

00:46:17.000 In the build-up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Trump claimed, I knew Putin very well.

00:46:21.000 I got along with him great.

00:46:22.000 On talk shows now, they're going, yeah, you certainly did.

00:46:25.000 He liked me.

00:46:26.000 I liked him.

00:46:27.000 I mean, you know, he's a tough cookie.

00:46:28.000 Got a lot of the great charm, a lot of pride, loves his country.

00:46:32.000 He sees himself as a couple of mates, doesn't he?

00:46:34.000 A couple of mates running countries.

00:46:35.000 But what's all this costing us?

00:46:37.000 And where is the money going?

00:46:38.000 And when I say us, I mean US.

00:46:40.000 So that's not us at all, because I don't think you can tell from my accent.

00:46:43.000 Some analysts estimate the true figure of the U.S.

00:46:43.000 I'm not from there.

00:46:46.000 commitment to Ukraine is up to $40 billion in security assistance or $110 million a day over the last year.

00:46:53.000 Is that money well spent?

00:46:54.000 Can you see anything in American cultural life that you would prefer to have that money spent on?

00:46:59.000 Does it surprise you that there's an easy highway for that money to travel towards the military-industrial complex, and some would say to the military more generally, and it's more difficult to get those resources into American infrastructure and also into the lives of ordinary American people?

00:47:14.000 The relentless stream of funding announcements in the absence of any public discussion of what the US is doing to seek an end to the conflict has signalled to critics a recognition that there is no end in sight to the war and that the US is committed to supporting Ukrainian defence efforts for the long haul rather than pursue a negotiated end to it.

00:47:31.000 Now of course what Noam Chomsky thinks is the most likely outcome is the absolute annihilation of Ukraine.

00:47:37.000 What recent history suggests is the American military-industrial complex would like an ongoing entrenched war where tax expenditure can be diverted towards weapons manufacturers etc.

00:47:50.000 I don't know enough to say for sure that that's the desired outcome.

00:47:53.000 But what I would say is a factor that ought to be considered is that if Putin is a madman or a strategist, whatever he is, he's got nuclear weapons.

00:48:01.000 So it seems like a bit of a risky game.

00:48:04.000 I mean, I love a gamble, but do you gamble when your whole life and the planet's future is contingent upon it?

00:48:10.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:48:11.000 The US is really preparing for a long war.

00:48:11.000 Let me know in the comments.

00:48:14.000 It's actually preparing for endless war in Ukraine, said Stefan Semler, co-founder of the Security Policy Reform Institute.

00:48:20.000 The US government has pumped more money and weapons into supporting the Ukrainian military than it sent in 2020 to Afghanistan, Israel and Egypt combined, surpassing in a matter of months three of the largest recipients of US military aid in history.

00:48:31.000 Up to half of the $14 trillion spent by the Pentagon since 9-11 went to for-profit defence contractors, a study found.

00:48:37.000 That's not my word.

00:48:38.000 That's a study.

00:48:39.000 That's $7 trillion to defence contractors.

00:48:44.000 Now, are you beginning to see what the motivation might be for not immediately curtailing this war and coming to peaceful terms?

00:48:51.000 Do you think that in a capitalist system with a strong military-industrial complex, That spend a lot of money on lobbying, that have a lot of people in Congress that own shares in those organisations.

00:49:00.000 Do you think that that seven trillion would have any influence?

00:49:02.000 Because we're not talking about a Dalai Lama here.

00:49:04.000 We're not talking about someone who thinks that the material world is an illusion and what matters is the spiritual world.

00:49:09.000 I don't matter what's happening out there, it don't really affect me.

00:49:11.000 We're talking about a financially oriented system, aren't we?

00:49:13.000 So, probably is a factor, isn't it?

00:49:15.000 Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments what you think.

00:49:17.000 The Ukrainian news outlet Ukraininska Pravda reported that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson used his surprise visit to Kiev... Surprise!

00:49:25.000 ...to pressure President Zelensky to cut off peace negotiations.

00:49:29.000 Surprise!

00:49:29.000 Listen, cut off the peace negotiations with Russia.

00:49:32.000 Oh, yeah, but surely you don't want people to continue to die.

00:49:35.000 Surprise!

00:49:36.000 I do.

00:49:37.000 To cut off peace negotiations with Russia, even after the two sides appeared to have made tenuous progress towards a settlement to end the war.

00:49:43.000 The British government has become an obstacle to peace in Ukraine by encouraging the continuation of the war through huge arms shipments and incendiary rhetoric.

00:49:50.000 Oh, oh, you think arms shipments and incendiary rhetoric is likely to increase war?

00:49:55.000 Those arms shipments and incendiary rhetoric were for a surprise birthday party.

00:49:59.000 Lindsay German, the convener of the UK-based Stop the War Coalition, said in a statement, although I added the bit about it being a surprise birthday party, So there you go, it seems there are a lot of vested interests in keeping that war going, and the only voice advocating for peace in a meaningful way within the mainstream media, even though let's face it, he's somewhat marginalised, is Donald Trump.

00:50:18.000 So at what point do you accept voices advocating for peace, wherever they come from?

00:50:23.000 What do you want?

00:50:24.000 Nuclear war or your pride?

00:50:26.000 Nuclear war or increased profits for the military-industrial complex?

00:50:30.000 What do you want?

00:50:31.000 This is a time where we have to ask ourselves some pretty serious questions.

00:50:34.000 I'm asking them to you right now.

00:50:36.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:50:37.000 Let me know in the comments what you think.

00:50:38.000 I'll see you in a minute.

00:50:39.000 Thanks for refusing Fox News.

00:50:41.000 The dude. 1.00

00:50:42.000 No, he's the fucking loser. 1.00

00:50:45.000 We done a poll. 1.00

00:50:47.000 The poll was, do you think Trump would have ended the war in Ukraine?

00:50:50.000 Was that what the poll was, Suvi?

00:50:53.000 Well let's have a look at that poll.

00:50:55.000 What was the poll?

00:50:57.000 The Ukraine war would have happened if Trump was president.

00:51:00.000 Look at this.

00:51:01.000 You responded on that poll.

00:51:02.000 We received 20,000 votes.

00:51:04.000 Everyone says nope.

00:51:05.000 Most people say nope.

00:51:07.000 The nopes say... Now that's democracy.

00:51:07.000 It wouldn't have happened.

00:51:09.000 You could use... Couldn't we use this technology for decentralised power?

00:51:13.000 Couldn't you be running your own communities?

00:51:14.000 Couldn't budgets be granted to every community?

00:51:17.000 People run their own communities according to their own values and it wouldn't matter if people wanted to do things differently.

00:51:21.000 Just a thought.

00:51:22.000 Mang!

00:51:24.000 Fascism is about making people of one mind.

00:51:24.000 1982.

00:51:27.000 The mind decided by the government.

00:51:28.000 Though nowadays it's more likely Twitter and Google and Facebook decide.

00:51:31.000 I like that, Mang.

00:51:32.000 Hey, who church gigging thing? 0.99

00:51:34.000 Why do you keep saying, stop being silly? 0.98

00:51:36.000 Is it church gigging that person? 0.99

00:51:39.000 I'm trying my hardest over here to come up with fine advice.

00:51:42.000 My brain, my choice.

00:51:44.000 Organisations were created for diplomacy and not war.

00:51:47.000 Judy Denmark.

00:51:48.000 That's funny because it's nearly Judy Dench. 0.94

00:51:50.000 Yes. 0.99

00:51:51.000 Trump is not a fascist, he's a grifter who is only out for himself. 1.00

00:51:54.000 That probably makes him less dangerous than the real fascists. 1.00

00:51:57.000 Jeff Devine.

00:51:57.000 My son's a US Marine.

00:51:59.000 Respect.

00:52:00.000 Trump had the Marines closing down military bases and was bringing home the troops, and that's a fact.

00:52:05.000 If you like my jacket, you can win my jacket.

00:52:07.000 Isn't it nice?

00:52:08.000 Valenciaga style.

00:52:11.000 It's actually not as expensive as that, but it's basically the same.

00:52:14.000 And if you want to win it, join us on Stay Free AF.

00:52:18.000 After the show we do a Q&A and we all muck about and things get a little bit silly and childish and stuff.

00:52:22.000 And you can win this lovely jacket and continue the conversation and ask us whatever you want to ask us.

00:52:28.000 I'll probably sign it unless you think it will devalue it in some way.

00:52:31.000 So you stay for Stay Free AF and if you want this jacket you can win it.

00:52:35.000 Stay Free AF is our membership Q&A.

00:52:37.000 I actually feel like I look quite nice.

00:52:40.000 I think it's cool.

00:52:41.000 I think it's actually, we misjudged it.

00:52:43.000 Valenciaga, they're honest, they know what they're doing.

00:52:45.000 Of course they do.

00:52:46.000 They know what they're doing.

00:52:47.000 You'll wear some of those little tights later. 1.00

00:52:49.000 Little night's tights?

00:52:51.000 That's it, yeah.

00:52:53.000 I do wear sometimes a slender jean, but a night's tights, I won't do that.

00:52:59.000 I will not do it.

00:53:00.000 Slender's an understatement as well. 0.98

00:53:01.000 What do you mean?

00:53:02.000 Slender so tight, gripping? 1.00

00:53:03.000 Like I've been bound up?

00:53:04.000 Little bit.

00:53:05.000 Ever bind yourself up with tape in a moment of grief?

00:53:08.000 No.

00:53:08.000 Well, I have.

00:53:09.000 I have, mate.

00:53:10.000 That's what I've done.

00:53:11.000 I've bound myself up in tape in a moment of grief.

00:53:13.000 My wife said it's an unusual response to a death.

00:53:16.000 And I went, well, that's how I am.

00:53:18.000 We all grieve in our own ways.

00:53:19.000 Any counsellor will tell you.

00:53:20.000 You've got to let people grieve in their own way.

00:53:21.000 Hang on.

00:53:22.000 I know the recent deaths in your household.

00:53:25.000 Martino?

00:53:25.000 Oh, right.

00:53:26.000 I thought you were going to say the cat.

00:53:28.000 No, I didn't bind myself up and tape over a... I'm not a madman, Gareth.

00:53:31.000 Not for a while.

00:53:32.000 Bound myself up and tape over a human death.

00:53:34.000 Dear Martino.

00:53:34.000 Right.

00:53:36.000 Cardiaccio, how do you rumble?

00:53:39.000 Sort of like that, from the hips, baby! 1.00

00:53:41.000 That's how I rumble, how do you rumble?

00:53:43.000 No, rumble by pressing a little switch on your phone.

00:53:47.000 Now wait a minute, where is it?

00:53:48.000 Hold on, because I'm not very good at technology, are you?

00:53:51.000 I don't agree with it.

00:53:51.000 Now you just rumble that, there's a rumble, there's a button, press it, all of you, for heaven's sakes.

00:53:56.000 It's good for us, isn't it, if people rumble?

00:53:58.000 Getting hot in here, isn't it?

00:54:00.000 Everyone wearing this jacket.

00:54:00.000 Just the jacket.

00:54:01.000 That's a good sign.

00:54:02.000 Made out of illumination.

00:54:04.000 Loving the Mr. T look, says Primal Colin.

00:54:07.000 Play Michael Bolton.

00:54:08.000 How am I to live without you, Sample? 0.87

00:54:10.000 I don't have that, but I do have... How can we be lovers if we can't be both?

00:54:17.000 ...possible, and this is what we sometimes feel when we're doing things live.

00:54:20.000 John O'Reilly.

00:54:21.000 Do it live! 1.00

00:54:22.000 F*** it! 1.00

00:54:24.000 John O'Reilly. 1.00

00:54:25.000 Bill O'Reilly.

00:54:27.000 Oh yeah, John O'Reilly's actually a fine actor, and it's John C. O'Reilly, the person I'm talking about, simply doesn't exist.

00:54:35.000 Listen, so yeah, you can win that later if you want it.

00:54:37.000 It's time now, is it?

00:54:39.000 Oh no, Gareth, you're going to tell us some more facts, but we'll talk to Aaron Maté in a moment.

00:54:42.000 I had a brilliant conversation with him.

00:54:44.000 Did the US and the UK sabotage the peace deals?

00:54:47.000 Is there a diplomatic solution available?

00:54:49.000 foreclosing on the idea of a peaceful solution.

00:54:52.000 And if we are, does that mean it's going to be one of those sort of Afghanistan wars that just goes on and on forever?

00:54:56.000 Or one of those wars like in Iraq where it leads to sort of terrorist groups going on the rise?

00:55:00.000 Or is it going to be like a terrible nuclear war because Russia are a former superpower with incredible access to powerful military equipment?

00:55:08.000 Yeah, well the one thing linking all those scenarios is... Go on.

00:55:11.000 Well, the military-industrial complex making a lot of money.

00:55:14.000 Funny you bring that up because... Go on, have you got a fact?

00:55:17.000 I mean, I'll yield to your facts.

00:55:19.000 Here's one.

00:55:20.000 Lockheed Martin, a type of company that makes weapons and that, got $75 billion from taxpayers.

00:55:26.000 That's your money that you worked for.

00:55:28.000 I hate that idea, tax, don't you?

00:55:29.000 I mean, look, I want to help people.

00:55:32.000 Hospitals, schools, roads, love it.

00:55:35.000 Lockheed Martin?

00:55:36.000 Huh?

00:55:36.000 Lockheed Martin?

00:55:37.000 They're having half of it, aren't they, the bastards? 0.98

00:55:39.000 Look at this, the average taxpayer in America contributed two grand, that's £2,000 in your money, dollars, 2,000 bucks, to the military last year, and more than $900 of that went to corporate military contractors. 0.98

00:55:52.000 So you're giving them that money directly.

00:55:54.000 That means some of the time you're at work, you're just working for Lockheed Martin on the sly.

00:56:01.000 I don't know if I like that.

00:56:03.000 Well, I've got a little bit of... It's economic subterfuge.

00:56:06.000 It's exactly that.

00:56:07.000 So, listen, this is by CBS.

00:56:08.000 A recent CBS news report suggested that only around 30% of the weapons sent by the West actually make it to the front lines.

00:56:14.000 This is with regard to the Ukraine war.

00:56:16.000 Where'd they go then?

00:56:17.000 Well, I'll tell you.

00:56:18.000 Where could they go?

00:56:19.000 They're not on the front line.

00:56:21.000 So, here we go.

00:56:22.000 Jonas Omen, the founder of Lithuanian-based organisation supplying the Ukrainian military, tell the American News Network that getting the weapons to the troops involves navigating a complex network of power lords, oligarchs and political players.

00:56:34.000 It's like a sort of a game show.

00:56:36.000 You've got to get past the power lords, and then the oligarchs, and then YAY!

00:56:40.000 The weapons are on the front!

00:56:41.000 Oh, no, they're neo-Nazis.

00:56:43.000 Oh! 0.60

00:56:44.000 Politics is so complicated!

00:56:45.000 Yeah.

00:56:46.000 Because there are, of course, neo-Nazi divisions in Ukraine.

00:56:49.000 Unfortunately so.

00:56:50.000 It's a shame, isn't it?

00:56:51.000 Got all this trouble and that flag in the window.

00:56:54.000 It's okay, though, because Facebook allow you to support Nazis. 0.56

00:56:56.000 Good Nazis. 0.99

00:56:57.000 Facebook are fine with that.

00:56:58.000 That's so weird, isn't it?

00:56:59.000 So there is no moral centre.

00:57:01.000 I suppose the issue here is no one's got any principles or real values, only the pursuit of an agenda and objectives.

00:57:07.000 Principles and values, by their nature, cause you to make sacrifices.

00:57:12.000 If there are no sacrifices being made, probably you don't have any principles.

00:57:15.000 I once done a course on writing, and the bloke who was teaching, I done a course on writing.

00:57:19.000 Yeah, I had to.

00:57:19.000 Oh yeah?

00:57:20.000 What did they teach you?

00:57:21.000 He was alright.

00:57:22.000 He was played by Brian Cox in Adaptation.

00:57:24.000 He's called... My mind doesn't work in this type of way when I'm speaking live.

00:57:29.000 You lot know who he is.

00:57:30.000 Anyway, Bob McKee.

00:57:32.000 He's amazing.

00:57:33.000 And Brian Cox played him in the Nicolas Cage movie.

00:57:38.000 adaptation which I watched while I was staying at Nicolas Cage's house.

00:57:42.000 Oh my God.

00:57:42.000 Nicolas Cage borrowed me a house.

00:57:44.000 Yeah.

00:57:44.000 I did a film with Nicolas Cage.

00:57:46.000 I was playing God, I think.

00:57:48.000 Brilliant bit of acting by me.

00:57:50.000 And anyway, Nicolas Cage said he had a house in Glastonbury and he was, you can borrow it if you like.

00:57:56.000 And like, you know, people sometimes don't mean that, but I went, I will borrow that house in Glastonbury. 0.99

00:58:01.000 Did he go, shit. 1.00

00:58:02.000 Oh no. 1.00

00:58:02.000 And then I did borrow it and I went and stayed there for about six months. 1.00

00:58:05.000 What?

00:58:06.000 Then they had to ask me to go.

00:58:08.000 During the time I was there, I watched Nicolas Cage movies to immerse myself fully.

00:58:12.000 What's it from his collection?

00:58:14.000 Does he just have all his own films there?

00:58:16.000 I don't know.

00:58:17.000 I might have gone... Was it Blockbusters?

00:58:19.000 Like, I don't know.

00:58:20.000 I got my hands on them somehow.

00:58:21.000 But it was good.

00:58:22.000 I watched the one where he's like, BEES!

00:58:23.000 That, all of it.

00:58:24.000 I like Nicholas Cage.

00:58:25.000 I think he's amazing and mental.

00:58:25.000 He's brilliant.

00:58:28.000 Brilliant actor.

00:58:29.000 And a lovely human being, actually.

00:58:30.000 Kind.

00:58:31.000 Gave me a house for six months.

00:58:32.000 Anyway, Brian Cox, who's in that film adaptation, he plays Bob McKee.

00:58:32.000 Who does that?

00:58:38.000 Bob McKee, when he teaches his course, says, if you want your heroic character to demonstrate love, The only way you can have your character demonstrate love is through sacrifice.

00:58:49.000 Anything else is affection.

00:58:51.000 So if you're trying to get, you know, and I thought that's true in life also.

00:58:54.000 It's true in life also.

00:58:56.000 Unless you're willing to sacrifice, you ain't got nothing.

00:58:59.000 Sacrifice.

00:59:00.000 What are you willing to give up?

00:59:01.000 I suppose that's why we're kids, isn't it?

00:59:03.000 You think, would you die for your children?

00:59:04.000 Of course you would die for your children.

00:59:05.000 What else would you die for?

00:59:07.000 In a sense, those kind of values have been eroded.

00:59:10.000 We're sort of like little blobs in a honeycomb now.

00:59:14.000 Like royal jelly.

00:59:16.000 Like little larvae just being imbibed.

00:59:19.000 Mad, meaningless entertainment distracted from dignity and honour and true power.

00:59:24.000 What are you looking for, Will?

00:59:25.000 What's caught your... There I am!

00:59:27.000 Told ya!

00:59:28.000 Told ya I was in a film with Nicolas Cage.

00:59:30.000 Looming behind him.

00:59:32.000 I loomed at him.

00:59:32.000 That's what I done.

00:59:33.000 Nick, could I borrow your house, mate? 0.99

00:59:36.000 Oh no, shit, I already said he could. 1.00

00:59:38.000 Oh no! 1.00

00:59:39.000 I'm gonna have to come through with that.

00:59:41.000 Yeah, we made that film in Morocco and all he had was a bunch of CIA people looking after him.

00:59:47.000 Because Morocco is like a Muslim country, everyone was double on edge. 1.00

00:59:50.000 The American folk, hey, it's gonna be terrorism around every corner.

00:59:54.000 You should've seen them lads wrapped around him.

00:59:56.000 So what I tried to do was counterbalance that by going around giving sweets to people in a suit.

01:00:01.000 You know, it's like a bazaar in Morocco.

01:00:03.000 That was basically all of my experiences.

01:00:05.000 You did that.

01:00:06.000 You just wanted them to love you, didn't you?

01:00:07.000 Yeah, I love to be loved.

01:00:08.000 I'll tell you what.

01:00:10.000 Who do I want to be loved by?

01:00:12.000 The Outsiders.

01:00:12.000 That's all I wouldn't love in me.

01:00:14.000 You should see me in a prison. 0.73

01:00:16.000 You don't deserve to be here.

01:00:16.000 You're right, lads.

01:00:17.000 No, we don't.

01:00:18.000 Come here, have a sweet. 0.95

01:00:19.000 Go on.

01:00:20.000 Actually, there's a wing for people to do stuff like that.

01:00:24.000 All right, come on in.

01:00:25.000 What was you going to tell me?

01:00:26.000 Well, I was going to tell you a little bit more about the weapons.

01:00:28.000 Something about that war.

01:00:30.000 About the weapons, which will lead us into... The tricky little swines. 1.00

01:00:33.000 Yeah, so there is really no information as to where they go.

01:00:36.000 Donatella Rivera, a senior crisis advisor with Amnesty International, tells CBS... Where are they going?

01:00:41.000 70%?

01:00:41.000 Is it you saying that 70%?

01:00:42.000 Only 30% makes it to the front line.

01:00:44.000 All these weapons, they're not even getting there!

01:00:45.000 Where are they going?

01:00:46.000 What is really worrying is that some countries that are sending weapons do not seem to think that it is their responsibility to put in place a very robust oversight mechanism.

01:00:54.000 A US intelligence source told CNN in April that Washington has almost zero idea what happens to these arms, describing the shipments as dropping into a big black hole.

01:01:04.000 I could come up with something better than that!

01:01:05.000 Like, zero idea.

01:01:07.000 Well, either this.

01:01:09.000 Either, like, they're never even sending them in the first place, or some cagey double-entry accounting thing's happening.

01:01:15.000 That's, obviously, allegedly.

01:01:17.000 Allegedly, yep.

01:01:18.000 Or they're stockpiling them somewhere or they are being picked up by organisations that's mad bogus terror organisations.

01:01:27.000 That's better than nothing.

01:01:28.000 They're probably not true but I'm guessing.

01:01:30.000 I guess the issue is that if there's no mechanism for where they go.

01:01:34.000 What's the point in doing it?

01:01:35.000 And what we're being told is we're spending all this money to help Ukraine.

01:01:40.000 There is a disconnect there, isn't there?

01:01:42.000 Yeah.

01:01:42.000 And what it suggests is, are you actually sending them with the idea of them helping Ukraine, or is there something else at play here?

01:01:51.000 And I think that's when you get into a headline like former NATO advisor says the UK and US sabotage peace deal, it starts to create a kind of narrative.

01:02:00.000 All you want, really, is for people to sort of tell the truth a bit.

01:02:00.000 We sabotage that.

01:02:04.000 Let's just focus not on the government, not on the military-industrial complex.

01:02:07.000 Let's focus instead on the media.

01:02:09.000 Wouldn't it be nice?

01:02:11.000 If I just said 70% of this aid, this lethal aid as Biden called it, ain't gonna make it to the front line.

01:02:18.000 We don't know where it's going.

01:02:19.000 We've got zero idea and we delayed peace talks for reasons that we're not willing to be disclosed.

01:02:26.000 Wouldn't it be nice?

01:02:28.000 It would also be nice to talk to Aaron Maté from the Grey Zone, who will, uh... Yeah, you're happy about that.

01:02:33.000 Very good.

01:02:33.000 That's an old school link, isn't it?

01:02:35.000 Very good.

01:02:36.000 We cut our teeth in old school telly, didn't we, Gal?

01:02:38.000 We know that's a good link.

01:02:39.000 I saw you nod approvingly there.

01:02:40.000 I did, I was.

01:02:41.000 Like I did a nice pass.

01:02:42.000 Like a through ball.

01:02:42.000 That's right.

01:02:43.000 Ooh, that was good.

01:02:43.000 That's it.

01:02:44.000 Yeah.

01:02:45.000 Uh, Aaron Maté, but I had to post-modern it, didn't I?

01:02:48.000 That's fine.

01:02:48.000 I had to get all meta.

01:02:49.000 That's fine.

01:02:50.000 I had to get, you gotta get meta.

01:02:51.000 No point taking life seriously.

01:02:53.000 This is it.

01:02:53.000 Just a few seconds.

01:02:54.000 Metaverse or just meta?

01:02:56.000 I'm not going into that metaverse.

01:02:57.000 I've seen what goes on in there. 0.82

01:02:58.000 It's disgusting.

01:03:00.000 Mainly shopping. 0.96

01:03:01.000 Shopping, of course it is. 0.78

01:03:02.000 It'll just be shopping and lying and wanking like everything else. 0.67

01:03:05.000 Anyway, let's have a look what Aaron Maté's got to say.

01:03:07.000 He, in my opinion, is a brilliant journalist.

01:03:07.000 He's from the grey zone.

01:03:09.000 Check him out.

01:03:10.000 Aaron, did the US and UK deliberately sabotage peace deals to keep the war in Ukraine going?

01:03:18.000 And if that's true, and there is evidence to suggest that it is, why would they do that?

01:03:22.000 It's true according to multiple sources.

01:03:25.000 The first hint of this came actually from sources close to Zelensky, who told a Ukrainian media outlet in May That after Russia and Ukrainian negotiators reached a tentative deal to end the war, Boris Johnson came over from the UK, and there's no doubt he was acting at the behest of the US, because the UK is a lackey of the US when it comes to foreign policy, and told Zelensky that, sorry, we're not going to back you up if you make a deal with Putin, and it's not the time to negotiate with Putin, it's a time to fight him.

01:03:54.000 So that killed those talks, and since then, Putin has said a similar thing.

01:03:58.000 He accused the US of wrecking a peace agreement. And Fiona Hill, who's a former White

01:04:03.000 House Russia expert, also said that U.S.

01:04:06.000 officials knew that there was a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine reached. So that's

01:04:10.000 the evidence for it. And why they would want to kill peace is because, look, their goal is not

01:04:16.000 to defend Ukraine. As Lloyd Austin, the defense secretary, said, their goal is to weaken Russia,

01:04:22.000 to use Ukraine to bleed Russia, which has been a longtime goal of the U.S.

01:04:29.000 And that's been made clear over and over.

01:04:31.000 Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator, recently said that as long as we arm Ukraine, they will fight to the last person.

01:04:38.000 So from Washington's point of view, Ukraine is not something to be defended.

01:04:42.000 It's something to be used as cannon fodder against Russia.

01:04:47.000 Aside from the moment where you said that the UK was the lackey of the United States, I found little to disagree with in your argument, but I've still been well enough conditioned to feel a kind of flush of patriotic rage pass through my body.

01:05:02.000 Aaron, has six years of propaganda nudged us culturally into believing that it's futile to negotiate with Putin and Russia.

01:05:15.000 And is it futile?

01:05:16.000 Is there any indication that there is a diplomatic solution available that would be generally amenable?

01:05:22.000 It's definitely ridiculous to believe that there's no chance of negotiating with Russia when you have all these sources saying that there was a deal reached and there's no reason why that can't be tried again.

01:05:33.000 And yes, the last many years of propaganda where we've been told in the U.S.

01:05:38.000 that Russia is basically responsible for all of our problems, Hillary Clinton, Concocted a conspiracy theory that Trump was a Russian asset, and then when she lost the election, blamed Russia for her loss instead of doing any real self-reflection. 0.64

01:05:51.000 We've also seen Russia blamed for Hunter Biden's laptop.

01:05:55.000 We've seen Kamala Harris say that Russia was responsible for the Colin Kaepernick controversy when he refused to stand for the national anthem.

01:06:03.000 We've seen Russia blamed for Black Lives Matter protests.

01:06:06.000 There's nothing They can't be laid at the Kremlin's doorstep by the Democratic Party or at least by the leaders of the Democratic Party.

01:06:13.000 And so in that context, Russia is portrayed as this demonic existential threat that we can't negotiate with. 0.76

01:06:23.000 If Russia's so bloody good, might as well let them be in charge. 1.00

01:06:26.000 If they are doing all that stuff.

01:06:28.000 Not sure that was the message.

01:06:29.000 Oh, sorry, I got confused.

01:06:31.000 Here, want to win this?

01:06:32.000 Join Stay Free AF, our members' community.

01:06:35.000 Here, want to do live chats where you can ask questions to Jocko Willink, former Navy SEAL, tough geezer, who I'm going to ask.

01:06:42.000 I'll tell you, Gal, I'll ask him.

01:06:44.000 Mate, this is how I'm going to do it.

01:06:46.000 You be Jocko Willink, I'll be me.

01:06:48.000 Jocko... No, can I be Jocko?

01:06:52.000 No, you be Jocko Willink.

01:06:54.000 He's a tough guy, he's a tough guy.

01:06:54.000 He's quite tough.

01:06:56.000 He's got an iron jaw.

01:06:57.000 He's not someone you want to start on, Jocko Willink.

01:06:59.000 You know Jocko Willink.

01:07:00.000 Tell me in the chat, you know Jocko Willink.

01:07:02.000 I'm going to go, Jocko, when you was a Navy... That's what I'm going to say.

01:07:06.000 Jocko... I'm going to elongate the O, subtly, so he thinks I'm... That's how my name's normally said.

01:07:11.000 Jocko... Could you not elongate the O?

01:07:13.000 Sorry, Jocko.

01:07:14.000 Jocko, sorry, mate.

01:07:15.000 I don't know why I've done that.

01:07:17.000 Jocko, you're a Navy SEAL.

01:07:19.000 Could you have sabotaged that, um... No, actually, I'm not going to do that.

01:07:22.000 I've just seen him again, and I've realised... I'm scared of even that image, because that's how I feel.

01:07:27.000 If he'd done that at me then, I'd be like, fuck it. 1.00

01:07:29.000 Sorry, mate. 1.00

01:07:30.000 Sorry, Jocko.

01:07:31.000 No, I didn't even like that.

01:07:32.000 Make it even shorter.

01:07:33.000 Jocko.

01:07:34.000 Um, Jocko.

01:07:36.000 Jocko.

01:07:39.000 Jocko, could you, when you were a Navy SEAL, have sabotaged that pipeline?

01:07:43.000 Sure, of course I could.

01:07:44.000 I was a Navy SEAL.

01:07:45.000 I'd been down there in a SEAL.

01:07:46.000 Smash it.

01:07:46.000 Bam!

01:07:47.000 Sabotage it.

01:07:47.000 Right.

01:07:48.000 Thanks, Jocko.

01:07:49.000 Do you reckon they did do that?

01:07:51.000 Do you reckon they did?

01:07:52.000 Like that?

01:07:52.000 Hang on, am I playing him or not?

01:07:54.000 You just played him.

01:07:55.000 Well, I hope you weren't like this.

01:07:56.000 I was scared!

01:07:57.000 You weren't like this when Nick Cage were, yeah?

01:07:59.000 Yeah.

01:07:59.000 I had to embody him because I was scared.

01:08:01.000 I thought, hold on, the only way to stop my fear is to bring him in.

01:08:05.000 Incorporate him.

01:08:06.000 If he's outside of me, he's a threat.

01:08:08.000 He's a menace.

01:08:09.000 Bring him in. 0.94

01:08:10.000 Bring him on home, Pappy.

01:08:11.000 Bring him on... He better not be fucking watching this! 1.00

01:08:14.000 Jocko, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to you. 0.99

01:08:18.000 I applaud the Navy Seals.

01:08:19.000 Hell Week, that's their toughest week when they're training to be a Navy Seal.

01:08:22.000 That's not going to impress him, just knowing that. 1.00

01:08:24.000 Shit, it's not going to be enough, is it? 0.99

01:08:25.000 That's not enough? 1.00

01:08:26.000 He's going to need more than that?

01:08:27.000 That's his expression now, watching this.

01:08:29.000 Trying to impress me by memorising Hell Week?

01:08:31.000 Sorry, Jocko.

01:08:32.000 Sorry, I shouldn't have done that.

01:08:33.000 Diminishing the achievements of the Seals?

01:08:35.000 No!

01:08:36.000 No! 1.00

01:08:36.000 Shit! 1.00

01:08:37.000 This isn't where I wanted this to go, Jocko! 1.00

01:08:39.000 Have a free jacket.

01:08:40.000 Jocko!

01:08:42.000 Do you want this?

01:08:43.000 No, I don't!

01:08:44.000 A bitten man's jacket? 0.99

01:08:45.000 You think I'm trash? 0.99

01:08:47.000 No! 1.00

01:08:48.000 Seems like maybe the candle will set light to the American flag.

01:08:52.000 Oh! 1.00

01:08:52.000 What the fuck? 1.00

01:08:54.000 No, Jocko! 1.00

01:08:54.000 Oh, glory! 1.00

01:08:56.000 What do you mean?

01:08:57.000 Are you coming on to me?

01:08:58.000 No!

01:08:59.000 No!

01:09:01.000 Jocko!

01:09:05.000 Jocko.

01:09:09.000 As a Navy SEAL, could you have done that pipeline in, done it in with an explosion, and do you think that's the sort of thing they might have done in the government, you know?

01:09:16.000 Just do it like that?

01:09:17.000 Yeah.

01:09:18.000 Do you think he's gonna tell us, or will he say something diplomatic?

01:09:21.000 Uh, no, I think he'll tell us.

01:09:23.000 Yeah, alright.

01:09:24.000 Well, if you want to see all that happen, join Stay For AF, then you can join it live.

01:09:28.000 We'll play it out next Tuesday.

01:09:29.000 Of course, will it be Tuesday?

01:09:30.000 We don't know when it'll be.

01:09:32.000 Follow him.

01:09:33.000 I'm gonna follow one.

01:09:34.000 Not next week, week after that.

01:09:36.000 In a fortnight.

01:09:37.000 That's right, that's how we talk in England.

01:09:39.000 Alright, Nicolas Cage.

01:09:42.000 Topic.

01:09:44.000 Coins says, Coins1 on the chat there goes, I was at a table sat next to Nicolas Cage and he left a huge heap of pizza crust.

01:09:54.000 Insane?

01:09:55.000 Question mark?

01:09:57.000 Some people don't eat the crust though, do they?

01:09:58.000 No, they don't.

01:10:00.000 Do you eat it?

01:10:01.000 Always.

01:10:02.000 With a garlicky dip?

01:10:04.000 They don't often come with a garlicky dip.

01:10:05.000 Well, where are you eating your pizzas, mate?

01:10:07.000 Authentic Italian restaurants.

01:10:10.000 You, you snob!

01:10:12.000 You think you're better than us?

01:10:13.000 Two laptops, authentic Italian pizzas.

01:10:16.000 I'm eating pizza from Domino's in the street!

01:10:19.000 Next to a prisoner!

01:10:22.000 Identifying with him!

01:10:23.000 Here, mate, the meth's in the pumpkin patch.

01:10:25.000 That's what I'm doing!

01:10:26.000 While you're sat there having your authentic pizzas.

01:10:31.000 Yeah, we will, Bill.

01:10:32.000 We will do it live.

01:10:33.000 There's nothing to worry about.

01:10:34.000 It's OK. 0.98

01:10:35.000 Listen, if you want to do all that sort of stuff with us, you know, join us and everything, have a look at the sort of shit that go down. 0.82

01:10:40.000 Next week, we've got Vandana Shiva on. 0.91

01:10:42.000 Here's us talking to her last week.

01:10:44.000 Some people from the chat, they were there just asking her questions.

01:10:46.000 Check it out.

01:10:47.000 Look at this.

01:10:47.000 Look, look, look with your eyes.

01:10:48.000 Ask yourself.

01:10:49.000 Riley underscore yoga asks, at Community Festival, you encouraged us to take part in World Food Day on the 16th of October.

01:10:57.000 Any top tips on how to do this?

01:11:00.000 I would suggest to all of you, you know, either start a garden or have a picnic with your community.

01:11:08.000 Create community around food.

01:11:10.000 Food is community.

01:11:11.000 Food is the embodiment of the community from the soil, the community of the insects and the pollinators, the community of the people who took care of the land.

01:11:21.000 But begin a food community and have a party.

01:11:26.000 You know, bake your bread.

01:11:28.000 It starts with you, your values, your family, simple things you can do.

01:11:31.000 You can reclaim power in your own life.

01:11:33.000 It doesn't have to get all complicated, does it?

01:11:35.000 Simple. Separate yourself.

01:11:37.000 What I've heard and what I've begun to understand is that it's not like you have to attack and destroy the

01:11:44.000 establishment, although criticizing it and ridiculing it, in my view, is

01:11:49.000 necessary.

01:11:50.000 You begin to form your own systems and it will atrophy away.

01:11:53.000 It will atrophy away.

01:11:54.000 Ignore it.

01:11:55.000 It will go away.

01:11:56.000 Start to form your own communities, your own currencies.

01:11:59.000 Declare yourself independent.

01:12:00.000 Declare yourself independent from this system.

01:12:02.000 Liberate yourself from this illusion, primarily the illusion that you can achieve anything by grabbing stuff from the outside world.

01:12:09.000 Don't be all mouth and hands.

01:12:11.000 There's no answer in that direction.

01:12:13.000 Was there something else I was going to show people?

01:12:15.000 There was something else, wasn't it?

01:12:16.000 Jocko!

01:12:17.000 What it was, was, uh, is it...

01:12:20.000 Me doing impressions of Dick Cheney.

01:12:22.000 It was Stay Free Media activity.

01:12:22.000 What is that?

01:12:24.000 Have a look.

01:12:24.000 See, if you want to join us on Stay Free AF, you bloody well should.

01:12:27.000 Have a look at the sort of stuff that goes on.

01:12:29.000 This is like, not only can you win a Lelo jacket that I've already promised to Jocko, you can see stuff like this go down.

01:12:34.000 In a minute it goes proper berserk because it's not that many people.

01:12:36.000 If you're a journalist trying to write something to bring us down, I know you do this.

01:12:40.000 I know you do it.

01:12:40.000 I know you're doing it it for your own reasons. Oh, sign up or what, you'll say

01:12:43.000 something irresponsible. He said the thing that's irresponsible there is irresponsible. Type

01:12:47.000 that out. Type that out. I went to university and everything. Hopefully this isn't a waste of time what I'm

01:12:51.000 doing here. Hopefully I've not just been sucked into the establishment. Oh my god,

01:12:54.000 hold on a minute. Everything I'm believing and thinking is in support of the centralised

01:12:58.000 power. Oh no, all of my ideals, all of my dreams. There's not even a computer there because

01:13:02.000 Gareth's got all the fucking laptops. Have a look at what goes on at State Free AF. 0.99

01:13:05.000 There's never been an individual who's a greater threat to our republic. There's never been

01:13:11.000 a greater threat. Hey, that's him trying to be nice. Oh, I see you Sonny Tim. Hey, I heard

01:13:18.000 what you said about me.

01:13:21.000 That's the sort of thing that goes on.

01:13:21.000 I like that.

01:13:23.000 So you can join us if you want.

01:13:24.000 So anyway, I think you'll find that what we've done there is a perfectly good show.

01:13:28.000 We answered a lot of questions about the nature of power, didn't we?

01:13:30.000 Is Trump really a fascist?

01:13:32.000 We've been reading your comments.

01:13:33.000 You love Trump.

01:13:34.000 Why wouldn't you?

01:13:35.000 I know you come from a place of purity and absolute beauty.

01:13:39.000 So we said that whoever is speaking in the interest of peace, we're on them side, innit, Gal?

01:13:44.000 You got distracted by something on the end of your finger.

01:13:46.000 I don't know what it is, mate.

01:13:47.000 First I thought it was an eyelash, but then I've realised it's probably just a bit of pen.

01:13:50.000 I thought, hang on!

01:13:51.000 Eyelash! 1.00

01:13:51.000 Wish! 1.00

01:13:52.000 Wish opportunity!

01:13:53.000 Wish opportunity!

01:13:54.000 Never miss a wish!

01:13:55.000 Birthday cake wish!

01:13:57.000 Eyelash wish! 0.99

01:13:58.000 Them things!

01:13:59.000 Dandelions!

01:13:59.000 Oh, it's one of his superstitions.

01:14:01.000 Is that wrong with my superstitions?

01:14:03.000 Oh, no.

01:14:05.000 Stop blowing that finger!

01:14:06.000 Sorry, Jocko.

01:14:07.000 Jocko?

01:14:08.000 Jocko, could you have destroyed that?

01:14:10.000 Anyway, if you want to join me and Jocko Willink for what promises to be rather an awkward and embarrassing chat filled with unreciprocated sexual tension, it's going to happen on Tuesday live.

01:14:21.000 We'll let you know over on Stay Free AF.

01:14:23.000 So join up to Stay Free AF now.

01:14:25.000 You're just from a long line of people who don't understand technology.

01:14:27.000 I can't make it come my smart TV.

01:14:29.000 Why can't I make it come my smart TV? 0.98

01:14:30.000 I don't fucking know. 0.98

01:14:31.000 You see me trying to use my phone, I don't know how to do it, Dad. 0.99

01:14:34.000 Just watch this bit on the telly, then move over to your phone, just like that.

01:14:37.000 Two screen generation, that's what everyone's like now, isn't it, Subi?

01:14:40.000 Everyone's got two screens.

01:14:41.000 That's what everyone's doing, they're watching that on that screen.

01:14:43.000 You're just from a long line of people who don't understand technology.

01:14:46.000 Yeah, I like it. A long line of Luddites.

01:14:48.000 Oh, dear!

01:14:49.000 How can I use this rake to rake leaves?

01:14:52.000 It's confusing!

01:14:53.000 Just pull them in with your hands!

01:14:54.000 It's like, yeah, well, this windmill's baffling me!

01:14:57.000 But, yeah, even really antiquated things, like a monkey trying to use a rock or something to smash over the coconut.

01:15:03.000 My monkey ancestors would just chuck nine on it and that.

01:15:06.000 Right back to the dawn of time.

01:15:06.000 That's it.

01:15:08.000 Like little amoebas.

01:15:09.000 I can't self-subdivide.

01:15:10.000 Just stay as one cell.

01:15:12.000 It'll be fine.

01:15:13.000 I'm coming from the quantum field.

01:15:15.000 Just stay within the limitless quantum field.

01:15:17.000 What's the point of evolving into a material field if individualism is just going to separate you from the great reality?

01:15:22.000 Good point, little amoeba. 0.78

01:15:23.000 Good bloody point. 0.85

01:15:25.000 Okay, join us at Stay Free AF.

01:15:27.000 We're going to let... It's going to be right off the hook.

01:15:29.000 It's going to be right off the hook, isn't it, Gal?

01:15:31.000 Absolutely.

01:15:31.000 Anything could happen, could it?

01:15:33.000 Could it?

01:15:34.000 Could it?

01:15:35.000 I just noticed that someone called me a tech fascist and I don't really know what they mean.

01:15:38.000 Don't get distracted by that!

01:15:40.000 Don't get distracted.

01:15:41.000 Well, no gloves.

01:15:42.000 Maybe it's real love. 1.00

01:15:43.000 Bonnie Boo, what the fuck are you lot talking about? 1.00
