Stay Free - Russel Brand - Stay Free with Russell Brand #016 - Pfizer And Avengers - What Is A Hero? Plus Guest Biet Simkin

00:00:00.000 You're not alone.

00:11:48.000 In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:12:04.000 I'm so happy that you've joined us today for Stay Free with Russell Brand, where we give you a unique approach to global affairs, where we give you, is it, would you call it a sideways look at global affairs?

00:12:17.000 That's a polite term for it, I think.

00:12:19.000 We're looking at it from another perspective and I suppose mostly a perspective of absolute love and devotion.

00:12:26.000 A deep belief in a unitary force that underwrites all reality that within you there is grace and beauty.

00:12:34.000 Why don't you in the chat below ask us anything you want to know as we embark on a voyage discussing today Pfizer and Avengers, what is a hero?

00:12:45.000 The reason we're asking this question is that now that vaccines are no longer publicly funded, Pfizer have entered into a commercial partnership with Marvel and in particular the Avengers, I think just in their comic book branch, not the movies.

00:13:01.000 Not in the films yet, it's not the latest edition, Pfizer.

00:13:04.000 Because it would be harder to phase four, phase Pfizer, Marvel heroes.

00:13:09.000 It'd be harder to sort of push that agenda on a big screen.

00:13:12.000 Good name for a baddie, though.

00:13:14.000 Good name for a baddie, if you need a new one.

00:13:16.000 What are you suggesting, Gareth?

00:13:17.000 I'm not suggesting anything.

00:13:18.000 I'm just saying it's a good name.

00:13:19.000 What would baddie Pfizer's sort of like a glove with a bunch of syringes on them?

00:13:25.000 But I've had five of these jams already!

00:13:25.000 I'm not saying that.

00:13:28.000 You need five more! 0.63

00:13:29.000 Where's your booster?

00:13:30.000 You'll irritate Thanos!

00:13:33.000 Isn't it though?

00:13:35.000 The truth of the matter is, I don't know what's best for you.

00:13:39.000 I don't even know what's best for me.

00:13:41.000 I just want to be involved in an honest and open conversation with you so that all of us as individuals and collective communities are well informed so that we can make decisions for ourselves and for our families and those that we love that are not so biased by commercial interests And governmental ineptitude, that we live in a kind of delirium.

00:14:00.000 And I think it's a worthwhile question because, I don't know if you've noticed, but we appear to be teetering on the brink of Armageddon.

00:14:06.000 Like literally, people are rehearsing for Armageddon.

00:14:10.000 I don't want to worry you, I don't want to worry you, because deep down, and actually on the surface, I believe things are going to be okay.

00:14:15.000 I think humanity is going to be okay.

00:14:18.000 I believe that love is stronger than hate.

00:14:20.000 I believe that the forces that are within us, whether that's individually or collectively, are ultimately Benevolent.

00:14:27.000 And that we will move in that direction.

00:14:28.000 That's what I believe. 0.98

00:14:29.000 But remember, I'm quite seriously mentally ill.

00:14:32.000 You know what else is moving in a certain direction as well?

00:14:34.000 Missiles.

00:14:35.000 Just to let you know.

00:14:36.000 Was also moving.

00:14:38.000 Gav, the producer of the show, makes a good point.

00:14:40.000 Missiles are moving in a certain direction. 0.88

00:14:42.000 And he did the right one.

00:14:43.000 Putin is moving missiles to what sort of new locations where if it comes to the crunch you can fire them at us.

00:14:50.000 Guess so.

00:14:51.000 What I'd say is, don't annoy him.

00:14:53.000 Don't wind him up.

00:14:54.000 Also joining us is young Putin and Subi over there.

00:14:57.000 They will be conveying your comments to us.

00:14:59.000 So convey your comments to us and be loving to one another in the chat.

00:15:02.000 Be loving to one another at all times. 0.99

00:15:04.000 But don't be stupid. 1.00

00:15:05.000 I mean, you know, don't turn yourself into an idiot. 1.00

00:15:07.000 I just want to say hello to a few of you. 1.00

00:15:09.000 Kay Winter, you're joining us from Canada.

00:15:12.000 Hello over there in Canada.

00:15:13.000 Are you allowed outside yet?

00:15:14.000 What happens if you take a truck to Toronto and go... Does your bank account get shut down?

00:15:20.000 What if James Blunt went to Canada?

00:15:26.000 Hey, is that James Blunt?

00:15:27.000 Are you trucking?

00:15:29.000 No, sorry, I'm just actually telling you that you're beautiful.

00:15:32.000 Price his accounts!

00:15:35.000 Let me open my bank account!

00:15:37.000 I've a fortune in there from these banners!

00:15:41.000 You're making it worse for yourself!

00:15:43.000 Oh, what about Mr Galway?

00:15:45.000 We don't know where you are and Ibzbzbz says what up.

00:15:48.000 We've got new members to our Stay Free AF community just to let you know.

00:15:52.000 That if you are a member of our Stay Free AF community, you get to join me when I do incredible live interviews with people like Jordan Peterson coming up, Elon Musk coming up, date to be confirmed, uh Cartol, date actually confirmed, and you can join me in in Stay Free AF and like chat along and ask me questions.

00:16:10.000 Yesterday I spoke to Navy SEAL Jocko Willink and actually asked him, like I said, regular viewers of the show will know that I've told you that I'm going to ask like, you know, you want to talk to, if you're going to talk to a Navy SEAL, When there's been a mysterious explosion down in the old Nord Stream 2 pipeline that could have been done by Russia, but could have been done by America, why not ask a Navy SEAL?

00:16:31.000 Later on in the show, I'll show you what Jocko Willink said when I asked him that question.

00:16:36.000 I didn't ask him some of the questions I said I was going to ask him, like in previous shows I joked about that I'd maybe say to Jocko, Jocko, do you love me?

00:16:43.000 Stuff like that, didn't I?

00:16:44.000 Well, no.

00:16:45.000 It doesn't seem like the appropriate question.

00:16:47.000 I actually acted quite tough.

00:16:49.000 So when you see, like, you know, in Subcutaneous, it's next week's episode of Subcutaneous.

00:16:54.000 Those are the deep, under-the-skin style conversations that I have with people.

00:16:57.000 It's definitely not under the skin.

00:16:58.000 That's a previous brand name that I used with a previous contract.

00:17:02.000 You'll see that I act in a very dignified way with Jocko.

00:17:05.000 And you did rather well as well, Soobs, I thought, in the questions. 0.64

00:17:09.000 Were you intimidated?

00:17:09.000 Little bit, yeah.

00:17:10.000 He's an intimidating guy.

00:17:11.000 Do you think you got under his skin?

00:17:14.000 Yeah, there was a bit where I did think I did get under Jocko Willink's skin, because I was a bit late, and like, I feel like if you've been in the Navy SEALs, one of the things you'll be pretty on top of is punctuality.

00:17:25.000 And if someone just sort of rocks up five minutes late, Oh Jocko, sorry I'm late mate, I was having a kombucha, I'm playing with my crystals. 0.99

00:17:34.000 You little man bitch! 1.00

00:17:38.000 He was actually quite lovely and he didn't like being characterised in any way. 0.99

00:17:43.000 He's obviously a very intelligent man, a brilliant leader and a successful businessman.

00:17:47.000 Didn't like coming across like Dick Cheney then.

00:17:52.000 I made mistakes, Gal.

00:17:53.000 Mistakes have been made.

00:17:54.000 Look, I'm trying to welcome our Stay Free AF members, including Cava Girl, Wheel of Time, The Alien Morbo, Autumn Rose, and Devastation Dan.

00:18:03.000 You sound like Avengers.

00:18:03.000 How lovely to be joined.

00:18:05.000 You sound like Phase Fizer heroes, you guys.

00:18:08.000 Let's see what's going on on your planet during the time that you are alive.

00:18:12.000 This is a good time to do it.

00:18:14.000 Here is what that is.

00:18:16.000 NATO and Russia are holding long-planned exercises of nuclear forces.

00:18:24.000 They're holding exercises of their nuclear forces.

00:18:26.000 That's right, yeah.

00:18:27.000 The news sometimes takes words out.

00:18:29.000 I don't even know why they do it.

00:18:30.000 Why don't they do that in news?

00:18:32.000 Why don't they just talk normally?

00:18:33.000 Because they're like, alright, I'll put this into normal.

00:18:36.000 It looks like NATO and Russia are rehearsing for Armageddon because tensions over Ukraine remain high.

00:18:43.000 Should we have a look at them practicing for when the old planet, the planet that Jesus lived on, Mohammed peace be upon him, all the fluffy bunny rabbits and stuff.

00:18:54.000 Remember the rabbits?

00:18:55.000 Think of them, the little lovely rabbits of the world. 0.66

00:18:59.000 Your nans, your grandans, all them guys, they're gonna blow that up!

00:19:03.000 Over a sort of argument, as famous as I can understand.

00:19:06.000 That's my petrol!

00:19:08.000 Gasoline. 0.72

00:19:09.000 Basically, people are very keen that their cars don't run out of gas and that you pay a high price for that bloody stuff.

00:19:15.000 Let's see what they're practising.

00:19:17.000 Any nuclear strike by Russia would receive a response from Ukraine's allies.

00:19:23.000 He didn't exactly say what it would be.

00:19:25.000 He said it would be a physical response.

00:19:27.000 I, for example, would be sending a basket of muffins.

00:19:31.000 Anyone who tries to annihilate me using uranium in its worst possible form.

00:19:37.000 A little bit, uh, later from the French president, Emmanuel Macron.

00:19:40.000 He seemed to almost contradict that.

00:19:42.000 Emmanuel Macron saying that, uh... That person liked saying Emmanuel Macron.

00:19:46.000 Emmanuel Macron, I know how to say it properly.

00:19:46.000 Macron.

00:19:48.000 Emmanuel Macron.

00:19:49.000 Some people lean into it, don't they?

00:19:50.000 Yeah, don't lean into that.

00:19:52.000 Macron!

00:19:53.000 Emmanuel Macron!

00:19:53.000 I don't... I'm not a fan of Emmanuel Macron.

00:19:57.000 You know I don't like the boy band presidents.

00:19:57.000 Oh?

00:19:59.000 No, you're not a fan.

00:20:00.000 I don't like the boy band ones.

00:20:01.000 Who's your least favourite?

00:20:02.000 I... like... Do you think...

00:20:05.000 I don't like to criticise people because they're all human beings, and they're all children of God, and they're all worthy of love.

00:20:09.000 I don't like Trudeau, though.

00:20:12.000 And I don't like the ones that have come on, that have been elected, in my view, on the basis of a haircut.

00:20:16.000 I think, like, yeah, start with a haircut, but also be actually good at running countries.

00:20:23.000 Do you want to know what they're called, these exercises?

00:20:26.000 I thought you might be interested.

00:20:28.000 So they're both holding exercises, which I think is interesting that they both practice for it.

00:20:33.000 Like if you were doing like a football match, you're like, right, this bit's the bit where they both practice and then they do the match.

00:20:38.000 This is the training phase.

00:20:40.000 Is it like the warmup?

00:20:41.000 It's like the warmup.

00:20:42.000 Yeah, it is that.

00:20:43.000 Are they warming up for the end of the world?

00:20:47.000 They're warming up to, if they have to go and do these nuclear strikes, they're warming up for that.

00:20:51.000 And they're, like, they call them exercises.

00:20:53.000 And then the US, the NATO one is called Steadfast Noon.

00:20:57.000 That's its name.

00:20:58.000 And the Russian exercise is called Grom.

00:21:01.000 Oh, they're going to win.

00:21:02.000 They're going to win.

00:21:03.000 That sounds so much more scary, innit?

00:21:05.000 OK, time for Steadfast Noon.

00:21:08.000 Steadfast Noon.

00:21:09.000 Steadfast Noon.

00:21:09.000 That's just a really committed snack.

00:21:12.000 Where's Grom?

00:21:13.000 Grom! 1.00

00:21:15.000 Oh, no!

00:21:16.000 No!

00:21:17.000 Like, Steadfast Noon, I think I could get through that.

00:21:19.000 That sounds like a cake, a bit of tiffy.

00:21:22.000 It just happens at midday.

00:21:23.000 Oh, well, what's the time?

00:21:24.000 Well, it's 11.59.

00:21:26.000 Bit of Steadfast Noon.

00:21:28.000 I once went on holiday, by mistake, with Nell Style, to a place where lots of Russian folk were, doing their Christmas that's near our Christmas, but somehow a bit different, and a couple of days later, you know riffs on Christmas?

00:21:39.000 Awful people. 0.96

00:21:40.000 Those monsters! 1.00

00:21:41.000 How dare you! 1.00

00:21:43.000 Let's go to war with them! 0.99

00:21:44.000 You do Christmas different, I'll show you Christmas!

00:21:49.000 Christmas should be a bit different! 1.00

00:21:50.000 Fuck you! 1.00

00:21:51.000 Steadfast Noon! 1.00

00:21:52.000 Grom! 1.00

00:21:54.000 I'll give you Steadfast Noon!

00:21:55.000 I'll Grom you! 1.00

00:21:57.000 This is Grom, right? 0.81

00:21:58.000 Steadfast Noon as a sex move sounds a bit boring. 0.96

00:22:02.000 Always about the sex moves, isn't it? 0.97

00:22:03.000 Grom, I say, is that you affix your mouth... No, I'm not going to go into it. 0.94

00:22:08.000 I'm not even... Hey, did you see?

00:22:11.000 I grommed Becky in the locker room! 0.99

00:22:17.000 Don't you gromm me!

00:22:18.000 Don't you gromm me! 0.87

00:22:20.000 Till I say... You better not gromm me till we're married! 1.00

00:22:24.000 Sorry.

00:22:25.000 Stop now! 0.96

00:22:26.000 What did that look mean?

00:22:27.000 I liked it.

00:22:28.000 No, it was just... I was just looking at you in awe.

00:22:31.000 Yeah.

00:22:31.000 Awe?

00:22:32.000 Oh.

00:22:34.000 Yeah.

00:22:34.000 It means thunder in English.

00:22:36.000 Yes it does, Will. 1.00

00:22:37.000 Shit. 1.00

00:22:37.000 It does. 1.00

00:22:38.000 Bring the grom! 0.95

00:22:40.000 The Russian, even their language, and when I went on this holiday by mistake with Russian folk, well look, I'm not being racist against Russians because I believe that we're, as I keep telling you, that we are all one and that separation is an illusion and that we must overcome the inner institutions of the ego and self-centeredness, Russell.

00:22:57.000 I'm speaking to myself here.

00:22:59.000 Before we even embark on trying to make the world a more peaceful and beautiful and loving place.

00:23:04.000 However, when I was on holiday with the Russians, everyone looked so odd. 1.00

00:23:07.000 Like the blokes, the women, everyone.

00:23:09.000 And I made a mistake, I was single then.

00:23:10.000 Kids.

00:23:11.000 And I saw this woman, she was getting out of the swimming pool, and I did, it wasn't like, you know, I did a, your telly's, your telly's broke mate, your telly's broke.

00:23:18.000 And like I done a, like I done a, like a look to this person, like sort of like, just a kind of, hey!

00:23:23.000 It's just that, low level, low level.

00:23:25.000 I'm not talking Grom level.

00:23:27.000 No, no.

00:23:27.000 It was just like, I don't know, what's the Russian word for... Hey!

00:23:30.000 It was just like that.

00:23:32.000 Brezhnev!

00:23:33.000 Krasnost perestroika!

00:23:35.000 Like that.

00:23:36.000 Anyway, whoever she was at least married to or seemed to have some sort of proprietal relationship with this woman.

00:23:44.000 I see him, look at me, like this.

00:23:46.000 It was like Grom.

00:23:47.000 It was like Jocko Willink.

00:23:48.000 It was Jocko Willink.

00:23:50.000 Right.

00:23:50.000 You had a sort of a serious air of... And then everyone that worked, not worked there, but that was on that holiday looked well-armed.

00:24:00.000 Everyone, like everyone else except for me, was Russian and everyone else except for me looked very, very good at fighting. 0.92

00:24:06.000 And I thought, is this what, as a cross-section of the Russian people, Why are they not more... Why is there no... Where are the nerds? 0.99

00:24:13.000 Right.

00:24:14.000 Where are the Russian nerds? 1.00

00:24:15.000 Where's the Russell equivalent?

00:24:17.000 Right, where are the Bohemians?

00:24:19.000 Where are the Shaggers? 1.00

00:24:21.000 Where are the Lotharios?

00:24:23.000 Where are the errant boy-childs?

00:24:26.000 Where's the mystery little orphan match girl? 0.98

00:24:29.000 Like, everyone in Russia looks hard.

00:24:31.000 So, bear that in mind before going to war with them. 0.71

00:24:34.000 Also, don't you remember, like, both the Napoleonic Wars and the Second World War?

00:24:39.000 Russia, they are so hard.

00:24:41.000 Like, they just will not... You can't beat Russia!

00:24:45.000 I'm intrigued to know what you did, because when you're in that situation, do you either go, like, again, lean in to trying to be more hard, or move further away so that you're really not hard?

00:24:55.000 Look, I considered both options, because, like, I do sometimes... Like, even yesterday with Jocko Willink, I thought, I'm not going to try to mimsy my way through this, like little Nancy Ninkum poop.

00:25:09.000 Like, I was like this.

00:25:10.000 This is me with Draco.

00:25:12.000 Hi Draco, good to meet you.

00:25:13.000 Good to see you again, mate.

00:25:15.000 I'm not like, you know, he's on the other end of Zoom.

00:25:18.000 Well, this hair, oh, I could cut it any time I want.

00:25:20.000 I'm not attached to it.

00:25:21.000 Grown-ish.

00:25:22.000 You know, like, sometimes you hear, like, SAS men, like, they actually got long beards and long hair now, because they're so SAS.

00:25:26.000 They've gone full circle, and they're living in the jungle, got a bellyache, want to go to the toilet, too late.

00:25:32.000 I'm that now, right?

00:25:34.000 That's what I am.

00:25:36.000 Like Rambo.

00:25:37.000 Yeah.

00:25:37.000 Did he believe that?

00:25:39.000 No.

00:25:41.000 No, he knows what I am, Draco. 0.92

00:25:43.000 You can tell that he conducts himself with absolute certainty that he could kill me whenever he wants to.

00:25:50.000 I live only out of Draco Willink's kindness.

00:25:54.000 If Draco Willink decides it's over for you now, what am I going to do?

00:25:57.000 I'd like...

00:25:59.000 Look, I do, as you know, jujitsu.

00:26:00.000 I'm very good.

00:26:02.000 But, like, with Draco, there's certain people you think, I wouldn't feel that confident in a fight with Draco Willink if I had a gun.

00:26:08.000 And, like, Draco Willink, he starts there, and I've got my gun, and Draco goes... Like, even the bit where he says, now!

00:26:16.000 Alright, that's the beginning of the fight.

00:26:18.000 I might go... I might drop the gun out of panic.

00:26:22.000 I mean, I don't know if I'd have it in me to sort of go...

00:26:26.000 Take that, Jocko!

00:26:26.000 Right!

00:26:27.000 It doesn't seem like your personality, I'll be honest.

00:26:29.000 I didn't feel right doing it then!

00:26:31.000 You didn't look right.

00:26:32.000 I'm worried that Jocko's watching this like, you better not try that. 1.00

00:26:35.000 You little man bitch! 1.00

00:26:36.000 You man bitch! 1.00

00:26:37.000 So he'll pull me through the telly, and suddenly, oh no, I'm in Jocko world! 0.99

00:26:46.000 Like, it's a good interview, and I enjoy it, because I thank the Lord, and if I didn't, I wouldn't tell you.

00:26:51.000 I love and respect Draco Willink.

00:26:53.000 In fact, I sent him an email.

00:26:54.000 I'm not good at emails, Gal, because I don't want to get replies from any of these people.

00:26:58.000 Well, no one's replying, are they?

00:26:59.000 What I'm glad about is that I'm married and I'm not in the market for a Navy SEAL or a tech billionaire richest man in the world because otherwise I'd just live in constant heartbreak because all I get is rejection.

00:27:15.000 If you like me, tell me in the chat!

00:27:18.000 Be kind, use emojis, the modern ones.

00:27:20.000 Scars, don't use smiley face now, a monkey do that. 1.00

00:27:23.000 No one wants that anymore, no one wants red heart.

00:27:26.000 I'm trying to keep up with the times, Jocko!

00:27:29.000 I'm trying to keep up with the times, Jocko!

00:27:34.000 We got on quite well, but has he?

00:27:35.000 I've checked the emails though.

00:27:36.000 Don't need to know about my personal business.

00:27:38.000 No, there should be a part of the show where it's Russell checks his texts.

00:27:42.000 Russell anxiously checks his texts for approval while claiming that everything is already resolved in the great oneness within which we all participate.

00:27:51.000 Why are you so worried about your emails for then?

00:27:53.000 Putin, meanwhile, declares martial law in annexed areas as Ukraine pushes offensive.

00:27:59.000 Martial law. 0.90

00:28:00.000 There's different types of law.

00:28:02.000 There's martial law.

00:28:03.000 There's sharia law.

00:28:05.000 There's law of the jungle.

00:28:07.000 Law of attraction.

00:28:08.000 Law of diminishing returns.

00:28:11.000 Is that all the laws?

00:28:12.000 That's it.

00:28:12.000 And I think they're all encapsulated.

00:28:14.000 I think he's doing all of them.

00:28:15.000 Who?

00:28:16.000 Putin.

00:28:18.000 I'm not just doing martial, I do also diminishing returns.

00:28:22.000 See what other laws, let me know in the chat what other laws you can think of, I'm interested in laws.

00:28:27.000 Meanwhile, Joe Biden.

00:28:34.000 Joe, he's not declaring no martial law.

00:28:37.000 No.

00:28:38.000 Apparently his approval ratings are stuck at 40% and he's done one of those things again where he's on a stage and he's acted unusually.

00:28:44.000 This time, for those of you listening to this as a podcast, which you can do on Spotify, iTunes, anywhere you get your podcasts from, He is doing what looks like some sort of an announcement with another guy and it goes a bit wrong, doesn't it?

00:29:00.000 Let's watch Joe do that announcement.

00:29:02.000 He's just left the stage, another man is talking.

00:29:04.000 Joe Biden, I would call it he's sort of hovering like a phantom.

00:29:07.000 It's like he's preparing for the afterlife.

00:29:09.000 I mean the journalist does direct this question to Joe, to the President.

00:29:09.000 Let's have a look.

00:29:13.000 Right, because then this guy none of us know who he is, obviously if you're an American or if you're well informed

00:29:17.000 about current affairs, which I'd imagine we might be, but like, we'll know who this dude is. But yeah, let's

00:29:23.000 check out what happens.

00:29:24.000 And the people who have privately held loans, will they at some point become eligible for this forgiveness because

00:29:30.000 I don't think either of them are handling it this well, because the guy in the red tie is grinning about people's

00:29:30.000 they...

00:29:36.000 loans becoming perhaps defunct or going out of control with hyperinflation

00:29:41.000 or being defaulted on or whatever terrible financial trap they've got you in now, having made you borrow that money.

00:29:47.000 And then...

00:29:49.000 Biden looks baffled.

00:29:50.000 Biden's own waxwork would think, come on mate, get come alive, wouldn't it?

00:29:55.000 Like that's, that's what, like you can probably go to places in our country, it'd be called Madame Tussauds, wouldn't it?

00:30:01.000 Yeah.

00:30:02.000 Madame Tussauds, she was a madam that made waxworks and I've, I've had one of me.

00:30:06.000 Yes.

00:30:07.000 I like him.

00:30:08.000 Anyway, Joe Biden's one would, I think, be more lively than this.

00:30:12.000 Let's see what he does next.

00:30:14.000 Shall I unpause it?

00:30:15.000 I've got the buttons.

00:30:16.000 Oh, nice.

00:30:24.000 What's he thinking in that bit?

00:30:25.000 What's he thinking in that bit now?

00:30:27.000 Where's his eyes going to?

00:30:28.000 Where are your eyes going?

00:30:30.000 Like, what he needs there is a waft of adolescent hair.

00:30:35.000 If he got a waft of a teenage bonnet, you could lead him off the stage with that. 0.85

00:30:40.000 You could lead him about like a truffle pig, like with a waft of adolescent hair, and he would truffle pig. 0.95

00:30:49.000 Hey! 0.99

00:30:50.000 No serious boyfriends till you're 30!

00:30:54.000 So now, what's he thinking in his mind now?

00:30:56.000 Let's study his eyes to see where he is.

00:31:00.000 Thumbs up.

00:31:01.000 Thumbs up.

00:31:02.000 Whatever he said.

00:31:03.000 I don't think that that guy did a very satisfactory response.

00:31:05.000 No.

00:31:05.000 It wasn't even on mic.

00:31:07.000 Get on mic and answer the questions of the American people that pay your wages.

00:31:12.000 Later on the show, you're going to love this.

00:31:13.000 I've got my friend Biette Simpkin coming on. 1.00

00:31:15.000 She's a breath master.

00:31:17.000 She knows how you can use respiration techniques to attain new levels of consciousness.

00:31:23.000 And me and my producer and creative partner, Gareth, will do those exercises along with her.

00:31:29.000 And what you will experience if you do these exercises at home is a transcendent...

00:31:34.000 realm of consciousness that's within yourself, so that's a good offer.

00:31:38.000 You're not going to get that. It's nice to know that there is a transcendent realm of

00:31:42.000 consciousness as William James, the American theologian, said, separated by the

00:31:45.000 thinnest of veils.

00:31:46.000 There are other realms of consciousness. If you've taken psychedelics or if you're

00:31:50.000 on psychedelics right now, you would know that's true, baby.

00:31:54.000 So, why are you showing me this? That's their waxworks, I think it must be.

00:31:58.000 Oh, that's Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?

00:32:01.000 They actually look better.

00:32:02.000 Do you know what?

00:32:04.000 Put Joe Biden's waxwork in charge.

00:32:07.000 Kamala Harris is one.

00:32:08.000 I think real Kamala Harris looks better than that. 1.00

00:32:11.000 But Joe Biden's one, that's actually all you need from him.

00:32:13.000 Because if you're going to have a stooge president whose power is only nominal and symbolic, who can't be making the decisions that are being attributed to him because of his observable senility, just have A wax one, and then you could, like, make it dance.

00:32:29.000 You could use, like, uh... You'd better have the robot dogs that are making those deliveries for Amazon as president. 0.98

00:32:35.000 We'll be talking to... about them in a couple of seconds now.

00:32:38.000 Meanwhile, in our country, it's called the UK, Liz Truss, which is a type of prime minister, that's our prime minister, our president figure, she's apologized for going too far and too fast with economic charges. 0.86

00:32:49.000 That, again, sounds like sort of erotic.

00:32:51.000 I've gone too far and too fast.

00:32:53.000 Sorry about the smell.

00:32:55.000 I'm sorry about that, but come on, be grown up.

00:32:56.000 If you want to play the game, you've got to pay the price.

00:32:59.000 Let's have a look at Liz Farr apologising for going too far, too fast. 1.00

00:33:03.000 You saw the whole of the moon, the whole of the moon.

00:33:09.000 Now is the time to focus on delivering, making sure that we are Delivering all that.

00:33:15.000 She's blinking too much times.

00:33:17.000 Yeah.

00:33:17.000 Watch the blinking.

00:33:19.000 One thing I'll say is watch the blinking.

00:33:20.000 Two, I'm gonna say why is she dressed like that? 1.00

00:33:22.000 Is that an attempt to seem sort of more serious?

00:33:24.000 Is there a pressure on women in positions of power to sort of emulate the traditional military derived dress of men in positions of power? 0.99

00:33:33.000 Is the tie an arrow to the genital?

00:33:36.000 Or is the tie cutting off the head from the body?

00:33:39.000 What is the function of the necktie?

00:33:41.000 Is it to say that we're disembodied, not embodied?

00:33:44.000 Or is it an arrow to the genital?

00:33:45.000 These are all questions that we must ask ourselves.

00:33:47.000 Is there going to be a test after this?

00:33:48.000 Yes.

00:33:49.000 There's a test coming up.

00:33:50.000 We're going to take you to another realm of consciousness with Beate Simpkin doing breath exercises, so if you are listening to this as a podcast, pull over and watch it only here on this site, Rumble.

00:34:01.000 Also though, she's doing too much blinking.

00:34:03.000 I'm a father.

00:34:06.000 I have two daughters, as you know, Gareth.

00:34:08.000 You're the godfather of my oldest child.

00:34:11.000 And what I'll say is, like, sometimes now, when I'm in my better states, when I feel connected to love and to God, when I don't see the world as a playground of things, of opportunities to consume or seek pleasure, I look at people, even people in positions of power, and I think, this is a child.

00:34:26.000 And I feel a bit sorry for her.

00:34:29.000 You know, I feel like, she's a person.

00:34:29.000 Right.

00:34:31.000 You don't mean a literal child, do you?

00:34:33.000 Luckily.

00:34:34.000 No, I do not mean that.

00:34:35.000 I mean a child in a figurative sense.

00:34:37.000 And what I mean by that is, like, she's trying her hardest.

00:34:40.000 And imagine, like, she would have been at school one day going, one day I'll probably be prime min... Well, not probably.

00:34:44.000 One day I might be prime minister!

00:34:46.000 Like, she's worked really hard, and now she actually is prime minister, and it must be a total nightmare.

00:34:50.000 It's not going well.

00:34:51.000 She's broken the economy. 0.99

00:34:53.000 Look at the pound.

00:34:54.000 Just gone down to there.

00:34:55.000 Yeah, but what does she think about when she, like, takes all that money from fossil fuel companies and things like that?

00:35:00.000 She thinks it's necessary, Gareth.

00:35:01.000 Okay, right.

00:35:01.000 She thinks it's necessary.

00:35:03.000 This is the system.

00:35:04.000 I don't have any power.

00:35:04.000 It's not my fault.

00:35:05.000 If I don't do it, someone else will.

00:35:07.000 All those things.

00:35:08.000 This is just the system the fossil fuel companies have.

00:35:08.000 I have to do this.

00:35:11.000 We have this relationship.

00:35:12.000 Like, that's what she thinks.

00:35:13.000 Sure.

00:35:14.000 Like, whoever... People, when they're doing crazy stuff, they can justify it to themselves, can't they?

00:35:19.000 Like, the worst monsters in history, they're trying their hardest, aren't they?

00:35:22.000 To be nice.

00:35:23.000 In their own way.

00:35:24.000 In their own sweet way.

00:35:26.000 Stalin, Hitler. 0.82

00:35:27.000 They're just like, this has gotten a bit out of hand now.

00:35:31.000 I think if I just push through.

00:35:33.000 I didn't really mean that.

00:35:34.000 A bit more genocide, maybe.

00:35:36.000 Oh no, it's gone too far.

00:35:37.000 Like, it's just a calamity after calamity.

00:35:40.000 When I was a boy, that was, you know, when I was a boy, I had this, it wasn't a fish tank, it was a bowl that was meant to be making a cake in.

00:35:48.000 Oh God, what did you do?

00:35:51.000 You can buy these little shrimps down at a pet shop.

00:35:54.000 Oh no.

00:35:55.000 You can get these little shrimps down at a pet shop and they're meant to be fed to, I think, to other fish.

00:35:59.000 But I saw them as creatures in their own... Your new family!

00:36:03.000 So I brought my new family home with me and I put them in the brown bowl.

00:36:06.000 It was a bit brown, so I did feel that it wasn't the right light conditions, but I didn't let that worry me.

00:36:11.000 I put them in the brown bowl in the bedroom and I pledged to them that I, as their leader and primary lover and caregiver, would look after them.

00:36:19.000 They jumped out of there.

00:36:20.000 I didn't know they were going to do that.

00:36:21.000 They kept jumping out of there.

00:36:22.000 They'd rather risk death than be in your new family.

00:36:27.000 Gareth, that is an interpretation I find it hard to disagree with.

00:36:32.000 So they were jumping out there, they're little see-through shrimps.

00:36:34.000 They've not even bothered to not be see-through.

00:36:36.000 What kind of deal is that?

00:36:38.000 So they're jumping out and they're on my blue carpet in my bedroom now.

00:36:42.000 And then in the melee that followed, I'm trying to solve it, the whole bowl gets knocked over.

00:36:48.000 I get the vacuum cleaner.

00:36:50.000 I think this has got to be solved.

00:36:52.000 We're in a crisis.

00:36:53.000 This is a clear up job now.

00:36:55.000 So I just tried to vac up the water.

00:36:56.000 But you can't vac up water unless it's nowadays and it's a special vacuum cleaner by Dyson or one of those people that do vacuum cleaners like that.

00:37:04.000 So it goes into that brown bag that's inside the vacuum cleaner and that turns into sog.

00:37:08.000 A messy, shrimpy, soggy mess.

00:37:10.000 And then I hear my mum's coming home and I'm sort of like running.

00:37:13.000 Oh no!

00:37:14.000 Oh no!

00:37:14.000 The bowl!

00:37:15.000 The shrimps! 0.98

00:37:16.000 I'm coming darling, Russell!

00:37:18.000 I can't wait to do some baking!

00:37:20.000 I'm going to make you a lovely shrimp cake! 1.00

00:37:22.000 Oh no!

00:37:24.000 Oh no!

00:37:25.000 And it just escalated really, like I apologised and you know... Who to?

00:37:29.000 The shrimp?

00:37:30.000 I apologise to their god, to their shrimp god, to the platonic form of ultimate shrimp, from which all shrimps must surely have come at some point.

00:37:38.000 And I do think that this is what's happened to Liz Truss.

00:37:41.000 She's tried to... In her case though, it was the British economy is that cake bowl, and the shrimps is us, the people of Britain.

00:37:49.000 We've tried our best to get the hell out of there, we didn't want to be in there, and Liz is now vacuum-cleanering us up. 1.00

00:37:56.000 With a series of errors to reverse her initial undertaking, which was evidently ill-advised.

00:38:02.000 One chancellor, another chancellor, all these people spend their whole lives trying to learn this stuff.

00:38:07.000 They can't do it, can they?

00:38:08.000 No.

00:38:08.000 Stop it!

00:38:09.000 The system's broken.

00:38:10.000 Stop having...

00:38:11.000 Centralised government.

00:38:12.000 Let us all run our own communities.

00:38:14.000 Only have centralised government where it's helpful for municipal facility.

00:38:18.000 Stop using power as an opportunity to pursue basic goals like selfishness and greed.

00:38:23.000 Stop being stooges and henchmen of invisible deep state power and allow people to run their own lives.

00:38:28.000 Is that too much to ask?

00:38:30.000 Is what my mum said to me when she got back and said, Mum, this is only taking place in shrimp land.

00:38:34.000 This is only in Shrimp Land.

00:38:36.000 I'm a tyrant, but only in Shrimp Land.

00:38:37.000 Let's see what Liz says next. 0.77

00:38:38.000 I can unpause it, Gareth.

00:38:39.000 Don't patronise me!

00:38:41.000 There's a button here with a triangle on it, drawn by pen.

00:38:45.000 I'll show you one day.

00:38:46.000 I won't move it because it's attached to so many wires, but you should see what's on here so that I can understand which button to press.

00:38:51.000 It's insulting to all of us.

00:38:52.000 Energy package, so before we stepped in, people were facing energy bills of up to £6,000.

00:38:58.000 That's a lot.

00:39:00.000 It's more time with our eyes shut than open.

00:39:02.000 She's blinking, she can't, like, she must be like, she's watching like Charlie Chaplin.

00:39:11.000 What must reality look like to someone who blinks that much? 1.00

00:39:14.000 You think it's like a code to the aliens or something?

00:39:17.000 This is going really well, anytime now.

00:39:20.000 She's thinking, beam me up! 0.99

00:39:23.000 Beam me the fuck up off this planet! 1.00

00:39:26.000 Because who's she morse coding with those eyeballs of hers? 1.00

00:39:31.000 I don't know man, but whoever that message is for.

00:39:33.000 We've now put in place the energy price guarantee, we've reversed the national insurance increase, and that's what I'm thinking about as Prime Minister.

00:39:42.000 That's what I'm thinking about as Prime Minister!

00:39:45.000 There's so much deception and duplicity and abstraction from reality that a person finds themselves saying the sentence, that's what I'm thinking about as Prime Minister.

00:39:54.000 You don't have to say that you are as Prime Minister.

00:39:57.000 You are Prime Minister!

00:39:58.000 No.

00:39:59.000 Like, you know me, I'm me.

00:40:01.000 Well, I'm the Prime Minister.

00:40:03.000 And as that, I'm thinking this.

00:40:05.000 Yeah.

00:40:06.000 That's not an embodied way of thinking and communicating.

00:40:10.000 No, it's wonk speak, isn't it?

00:40:11.000 That's wonk speak.

00:40:12.000 Because they don't have recourse to authenticity, integrity, honesty, the value system by which government should be run.

00:40:19.000 Our systems ought be underwritten by those principles that all of us understand.

00:40:23.000 Wherever we're from, however we were raised, we know we're supposed to be being honest, being of service to others, being kind. 0.98

00:40:30.000 So because that, oh shit we can't do any of that and still serve our Corporate overlords. 0.97

00:40:35.000 So I'm gonna have to say some weird wonkish thing. 0.99

00:40:38.000 That's what I'll be thinking about as Prime Minister.

00:40:41.000 Blink every so forth.

00:40:43.000 I do staring contests with my children.

00:40:46.000 I'm toughening them up.

00:40:47.000 My life with Jocko.

00:40:49.000 After I've gone.

00:40:50.000 That's your idea of fun games?

00:40:52.000 Come on children!

00:40:56.000 They're quite good, aren't they?

00:40:59.000 We're gonna go and play with the shrimp!

00:41:01.000 No!

00:41:01.000 Come back!

00:41:02.000 Leave those shrimp! 1.00

00:41:02.000 They're mine! 1.00

00:41:03.000 They will be raised from the dead, shrimp zombies! 0.52

00:41:10.000 But they look cute when they're doing it as well, while they're staring at you like that, huh?

00:41:15.000 Liz Truss, she'd have no chance.

00:41:17.000 She's blinking, that's like, she's done about five rounds of blinking in five seconds there. 0.95

00:41:21.000 Like, if that was boxing, she's on the canvas as soon as the bell's gone. 1.00

00:41:25.000 Well, apparently she is.

00:41:26.000 83% of the Tory members have lost faith in her, apparently.

00:41:29.000 Which is an interesting term to use.

00:41:31.000 Faith.

00:41:32.000 Faith is the belief That things will be okay, even though you don't know how.

00:41:37.000 Just a general sense that things will be okay, I don't know how.

00:41:41.000 Do you have faith in this trust?

00:41:42.000 No.

00:41:43.000 I know that it's not going to be okay.

00:41:45.000 I don't know how it would be okay, and I don't believe it would be anyway.

00:41:48.000 I can't even imagine how it would be okay.

00:41:51.000 Is she going to blink herself to another dimension? 1.00

00:41:54.000 Is she going to blink so many times?

00:41:56.000 Like money starts to come out or something.

00:41:57.000 Wait a minute!

00:41:58.000 Is money coming out of her eyes now? 0.98

00:41:59.000 It's like an arcade machine.

00:42:04.000 Oh, man, the pound's going up!

00:42:05.000 This is brilliant!

00:42:06.000 Oh, keep blinking, Liz!

00:42:07.000 It's the answer!

00:42:09.000 She's blinked us to freedom! 0.74

00:42:13.000 God love her.

00:42:14.000 Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson, a.k.a.

00:42:17.000 Rock, is... No, The Rock.

00:42:20.000 Yeah.

00:42:20.000 Well, you work with him, you should know.

00:42:22.000 I do know him.

00:42:23.000 What did you call him?

00:42:24.000 Let me think.

00:42:25.000 Alright.

00:42:26.000 If you know him very well, DJ.

00:42:28.000 Wow.

00:42:29.000 You know, if you hear a nickname, you think, am I going to use the nickname?

00:42:32.000 Young Putin?

00:42:32.000 Use it all the time.

00:42:33.000 Always call him Young Putin, Young Putin.

00:42:35.000 He look like a Young Putin, I call him a Young Putin.

00:42:37.000 Yeah.

00:42:37.000 Rock, you don't go, like, alright, I've been in this situation a couple of times.

00:42:41.000 There's Puff Daddy.

00:42:41.000 Yeah.

00:42:42.000 I call him, well, he didn't want to be called Puff Daddy.

00:42:44.000 He said it's P. Diddy now.

00:42:46.000 He told me that explicitly.

00:42:47.000 But for some reason, I wouldn't accept it.

00:42:48.000 Right.

00:42:49.000 Because I feel like hip-hop stars, you've already gotten yourself a great hip-hop name.

00:42:54.000 But some of them, Slim Shady, Eminem, Marshall Maverick, like he's got a few there, hasn't he?

00:43:00.000 That's a few different ones.

00:43:01.000 I'm not telling people what to do, obviously.

00:43:04.000 But with Puff Daddy, I was in a position where I could do something about it.

00:43:07.000 You start with Puff Daddy, you're staying with Puff Daddy.

00:43:11.000 It's Diddy now, P. Diddy, he'd say.

00:43:15.000 I like also saying Puff.

00:43:17.000 You know, hey Puff, like that.

00:43:19.000 He never answered.

00:43:20.000 There's another one in the old text.

00:43:23.000 No response there.

00:43:24.000 Dear Puff Daddy, is it too late to call thee Diddy?

00:43:29.000 But it was too late.

00:43:31.000 So him, I messed up the nickname.

00:43:33.000 Now with DJ, aka Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, Um, like, I just tried not to bother him too much when I had scenes with him.

00:43:41.000 Like in, I was in a show called Ballers on HBO.

00:43:44.000 Don't worry, no one did.

00:43:45.000 And like, uh, so when I was like, uh, doing that, what I used to do is just be very nice and very polite, um, and try not to irritate him.

00:43:55.000 No.

00:43:56.000 And I think it went quite well.

00:43:58.000 Yeah.

00:43:58.000 Well, he was very encouraging when you had to get your bottom out, wasn't he?

00:44:01.000 She was encouraging.

00:44:03.000 On day two of working on Ball, here I am with The Rock.

00:44:06.000 He's lovely, isn't he?

00:44:07.000 He's lovely!

00:44:08.000 There I am looking over at him.

00:44:10.000 So when I was doing that show, Ballers, wish I was a little bit taller, there was a scene where I had to get my bum out, like walking down the beach.

00:44:20.000 Now obviously when you get your bum out, typically what you do is you put your I was worried about it.

00:44:25.000 It was that day!

00:44:26.000 a little hammock, such as Saddam Hussein popped his head into before the executions.

00:44:32.000 So you pop your little nuts and wink-a-swoo into there and then you have to sort of, in

00:44:38.000 this instance, it was in Malibu on the beach and I had to sort of, like someone say, action,

00:44:42.000 and I had to throw off this sort of warm coat and then walk naked down the beach.

00:44:47.000 I was worried about it, it was that day, it was that day!

00:44:49.000 Wow.

00:44:50.000 Yeah, there I am with Rob Corddry, brilliant actor, and Dwayne Johnson.

00:44:54.000 And a little bit later that day, on that very beach, they go, you know, Russ, what would be so funny?

00:45:01.000 And I go, go on, what would be so funny, Rock and other fellas, if you took off... Humiliate yourself.

00:45:08.000 I can see that would be funny for everyone else in the whole world, except for me.

00:45:15.000 See, it's funny how this keeps happening.

00:45:15.000 No.

00:45:17.000 Funny how what's funny always involves me humiliating myself.

00:45:20.000 This literally looks like the moment they've told you that's what you're going to do.

00:45:23.000 What?

00:45:25.000 That's me.

00:45:25.000 That's why I'm going, what, Rock?

00:45:26.000 What?

00:45:27.000 So like, uh, but Rock is also producer of this show.

00:45:27.000 Right?

00:45:31.000 Yeah.

00:45:31.000 And like, so I thought, I'll ask Rock.

00:45:33.000 I go, Rock, um, when later, as we've all discussed how funny it is that I get my bum out, I'm a bit actually...

00:45:40.000 I'm a bit embarrassed about it, you know?

00:45:43.000 Actually, they told me the day before, so I'd had some chance to practice getting my bum out in front of my wife. 1.00

00:45:49.000 And I said, would you mind taking a photograph of my bottom, just so I know what it looks like?

00:45:54.000 Just for the annual.

00:45:56.000 For the yearly calendar!

00:45:57.000 For the Christmas card!

00:45:59.000 December!

00:46:00.000 Anyway, what I will tell you is if you are ever having to reveal your bottom, you may feel like the good thing to do, the right thing to do, is tense it.

00:46:08.000 Don't tense it, that can lead to dimpling, unless you've got very low body fat.

00:46:12.000 Just relax your bum. 0.58

00:46:13.000 Relax your mind and relax your bum. 0.87

00:46:16.000 Just relax.

00:46:17.000 Don't do it.

00:46:19.000 What you do is just relax.

00:46:21.000 Don't think I can control this bum. 0.98

00:46:23.000 I can make it look great by tensing it.

00:46:25.000 Just relax it and let it go.

00:46:27.000 Not too far because otherwise it could be consequences, but relax to a point.

00:46:30.000 And then just walk into the sea with extras paraded, you know, background artists either side of you like that as a corridor.

00:46:39.000 Yeah, flanking.

00:46:40.000 I was flanked by them, like human, like they were providing a human chance.

00:46:44.000 There was paparazzis there.

00:46:45.000 Oh, that's just what you need. 0.91

00:46:46.000 Yeah, for when you're worried about your butt dimples. 0.93

00:46:49.000 Yeah. 0.87

00:46:50.000 Of course, though, of course, the fact is, is they were there for Rock.

00:46:53.000 Sure.

00:46:54.000 You know?

00:46:55.000 And I didn't mind that. 0.76

00:46:55.000 They just thought there was some crazy naked guy there. 0.76

00:46:57.000 Who's this guy? 0.62

00:46:58.000 He's ruining the Rock's day doing that.

00:47:00.000 The Rock's not going to enjoy that, is he?

00:47:02.000 Oh, look, Rock seems to be permitted it.

00:47:03.000 Oh, he's getting angry! 0.97

00:47:04.000 He's punching him in the back of the head!

00:47:07.000 And then I just went and walked off into the sea.

00:47:09.000 It was just like they said, this character's so unusual, wouldn't it be funny if he just took all his clothes off and walked into the sea?

00:47:13.000 And I don't know if it was funny or not, Gareth.

00:47:16.000 We'll find out in retrospect.

00:47:16.000 We'll find out.

00:47:17.000 Anyway, The Rock is in the news because he says, uh, they asked him, would he be a good Prime Minister?

00:47:23.000 Let's have a look at Rock responding to that inquiry.

00:47:27.000 There.

00:47:28.000 Looks amazing, of course.

00:47:28.000 There he is.

00:47:31.000 Are you ready for a Mother Johnson Prime Minister?

00:47:31.000 Thank you.

00:47:35.000 Maybe Rock Prime Minister?

00:47:36.000 I will tell you this.

00:47:38.000 It's great to be back in London, I'll tell you that.

00:47:44.000 So The Rock has more diplomatic skill than Joe Biden. 0.98

00:47:48.000 The Rock has realised, don't criticise the British Prime Minister because it's going to be a pain in the arse for everybody. 0.93

00:47:56.000 But like Biden in the old ice cream shop, yeah they shouldn't do that! 0.96

00:48:01.000 Went all nuts and so maybe Rock should be, although I don't know about with that satin.

00:48:06.000 I don't know.

00:48:07.000 People like it.

00:48:08.000 Apparently, they want him to do it.

00:48:10.000 Okay.

00:48:11.000 Of our country?

00:48:12.000 No, not of our country.

00:48:13.000 America?

00:48:13.000 Of America, yeah.

00:48:14.000 Fair enough.

00:48:14.000 He's apparently left the door open to a future presidential run, but right now he's focused on fatherhood.

00:48:20.000 Just to let you know.

00:48:21.000 Right, it's good to know, it's good to know.

00:48:23.000 But personally, if you're going to have You know, a person be a president, and it doesn't make any difference because the systems of power that underwrite the entire system won't shift.

00:48:34.000 Yeah, have a movie star one.

00:48:35.000 At least it'll be good.

00:48:37.000 Yeah, it would be great.

00:48:37.000 Maybe I'll get something out.

00:48:39.000 Ray Russell, do you know what would be funny? 0.99

00:48:40.000 For the people of America, get your ass out. 0.99

00:48:42.000 I don't know, Rock. 0.99

00:48:43.000 Well, I'm president now.

00:48:44.000 I mean, I could actually make you do it when we were just people in a TV show.

00:48:47.000 Now I've actually got a nuclear capacity.

00:48:49.000 Well, I'm just standing... Oh, no!

00:48:52.000 Once is enough, Rock!

00:48:53.000 Once is enough!

00:48:55.000 You say... You say... You ready for this, Jelly?

00:48:57.000 You think you are?

00:48:59.000 Eh?

00:48:59.000 That's what I'll say.

00:49:00.000 Yeah.

00:49:01.000 Call the press conference.

00:49:04.000 Yeah, if he pressures me, I will do it.

00:49:06.000 1.3 million US adults with diabetes.

00:49:10.000 Look, we're going to talk about some serious stuff later.

00:49:12.000 The Avenger Marvel thing and the obvious implications for the commodification of medicines and the propagandist implications of a move like that.

00:49:22.000 And the history of using cartoon characters to convey social messages.

00:49:28.000 All of that's going to get done.

00:49:29.000 I don't know when.

00:49:30.000 I know.

00:49:31.000 Long show.

00:49:32.000 Long show.

00:49:32.000 We've got to do this and also there's loads to tell you but it's just there's only so much time.

00:49:37.000 I want to tell you that... Just to let you know that that does this story literally fits in with what you just said.

00:49:42.000 Tell me how?

00:49:43.000 Well because insulin now 1.3 million US adults with diabetes are having to ration their own insulin because it costs so much now and that is almost entirely due to the fact that Big pharma companies are inflating the prices.

00:49:56.000 So just so you know, Eli Lilly has hiked the list price of the insulin product Humalog by an inflation adjusted 680% since it started selling it in 1996.

00:50:04.000 Why?

00:50:04.000 percent since it started selling it in 1996. Now I think 680 percent seems excessive for

00:50:10.000 profits.

00:50:11.000 Yeah that's too much.

00:50:13.000 Don't be so mean, because I know people that are diabetic.

00:50:16.000 That's the last thing they need.

00:50:17.000 Sometimes they have to jab themselves with that pen in a chat, don't they?

00:50:20.000 Yep.

00:50:21.000 My mates with Shepard Fairey, the artist, he'd go like that with his diabetic pen.

00:50:21.000 They go.

00:50:26.000 I sometimes feel a bit jealous.

00:50:29.000 Oh, right.

00:50:30.000 You know?

00:50:31.000 It feels like you've got, you're in control.

00:50:33.000 Sure, yeah, yeah.

00:50:33.000 I also feel like he's acting quite cool when he's doing it.

00:50:36.000 Like, he feels like he's got one... Where's your pen?

00:50:39.000 Yeah.

00:50:39.000 Over me.

00:50:40.000 I think people do quite like having little things.

00:50:40.000 You know?

00:50:42.000 It was like you with those little sticks you used to have in your mouth.

00:50:45.000 I used to numb my mouth.

00:50:46.000 Initially it began as a part of my now legendary performance as Arthur in the film Arthur.

00:50:51.000 I thought the character should have a...

00:50:51.000 Oh yeah.

00:50:53.000 A numb mouth because he was always, in my mind, coked up.

00:50:57.000 Even though in the film it didn't mention that and they'd sort of moved away from this more sort of transgressive and decadent perspective.

00:51:04.000 Because John Belushi, in the one that Dudley Moore done, original Alpha, it was going to be John Belushi playing Alpha.

00:51:10.000 That was the original intention.

00:51:11.000 I was like, oh yeah, John Belushi, he would have done it so crazy and like mad and everything.

00:51:15.000 But that's not the way it went.

00:51:17.000 The many of you that have seen the film and are hopefully now filling the chat with compliments about my performance.

00:51:22.000 Compliments that I frankly need.

00:51:24.000 Um, anyway, so I would numb my mouth.

00:51:26.000 Those that I, uh, you know, felt like all coked up.

00:51:29.000 Then I sort of obviously got addicted to it.

00:51:30.000 They were just these numbing sticks for if you've got canker sores, as you call them in your country, America, or ulcers, as we call them in our country.

00:51:38.000 Delicious.

00:51:39.000 So, like, I would numb the old goblet and, uh, That was one of my affectations for a brief while.

00:51:45.000 Turns out that it didn't win me the Oscar that I'd imagined it might.

00:51:48.000 Were you trying to do your version of Brando in The Godfather?

00:51:50.000 Was that what it was?

00:51:51.000 I'm always trying that.

00:51:52.000 I'm always trying my version of Brando.

00:51:54.000 You know, just little moments of raw reality.

00:51:57.000 That's what all of us want from art, is some sense of truth.

00:52:00.000 That something real and authentic is happening.

00:52:03.000 We want to feel connected.

00:52:04.000 We feel so distracted from reality, don't we?

00:52:07.000 We feel that we live in a world of commodity.

00:52:09.000 Everything lived through a screen, devoid of meaning, where there is this odd choreography between commodified commercial products like the Marvel Avengers and a Pfizer vaccine, now that it's no longer paid for by the state and is therefore a commercial and privately purchased product.

00:52:28.000 They've got to make it appealing to you through advertisements, man. 0.55

00:52:31.000 It's bloody crazy. 0.99

00:52:32.000 It's ridiculous. 0.87

00:52:33.000 Anyway, a bit later when we do this breathwork with Biet, at least then you'll get in touch with a deeper reality.

00:52:38.000 And if you do it properly, as I instruct and as Biet guides, you will see that, um, you know, you've got access to another dimension, which will cheer you up.

00:52:45.000 What are you thinking?

00:52:47.000 You're just enjoying it.

00:52:47.000 No, that's it.

00:52:48.000 I was just enjoying it.

00:52:49.000 Where's your French horn?

00:52:50.000 That's what I will say to you.

00:52:52.000 A fleet of dog-like delivery robots will soon roam a Texas college campus.

00:52:56.000 So let's have a look at these dog robots that are going to be roaming a canvas.

00:53:01.000 Just one of them, just so we can see what those guys look like.

00:53:04.000 So look, all of us have seen these dog robots now, and most of us are scared of them because of their unnatural, bug-like appearance.

00:53:12.000 Insects.

00:53:13.000 It's weird that our early tech resembles the relatively simple life forms that are insects.

00:53:17.000 Not that simple, they're incredibly complex.

00:53:19.000 But it's almost like our technological evolution is mimicking biological evolution, even in a sort of an archetypal way.

00:53:27.000 That's like an insect more than a dog, particularly a wasp.

00:53:30.000 But also like the way it's little, like stag beetle.

00:53:34.000 Let's go.

00:53:35.000 You wouldn't want that coming up to you, would you?

00:53:37.000 Delivery!

00:53:38.000 Delivery! 1.00

00:53:39.000 Get the fuck away from me, you little son of a bitch! 1.00

00:53:42.000 I got a delivery for you, sir! 1.00

00:53:44.000 Like, like, playing it's a dog, because we like dogs.

00:53:46.000 That's tricky, tricky.

00:53:47.000 Yeah.

00:53:48.000 Isn't it?

00:53:48.000 Yeah.

00:53:49.000 Like, my dog, I love that guy.

00:53:51.000 Friendly.

00:53:51.000 Joyful.

00:53:52.000 What a little beauty. 0.92

00:53:53.000 Like, not this evil robot dog.

00:53:55.000 Doing a delivery.

00:53:55.000 No.

00:53:56.000 And then, the thing is, is these dogs have been used in a military capacity before, because most of these things are, you know, it's the military-industrial complex that develops it.

00:54:05.000 Usually with your money!

00:54:06.000 Usually with your money!

00:54:08.000 And then it becomes, oh, Amazon are gonna use it.

00:54:10.000 Are you gonna give us a bit of that money back?

00:54:11.000 In fact, we're going to charge him again for a delivery from a dog that does this.

00:54:11.000 No!

00:54:15.000 I don't like his little trotty. 1.00

00:54:27.000 No, it's very trottery, isn't it? 0.99

00:54:29.000 It's too trotty, and it's... What I don't like, Gareth, is when it shoots that gun.

00:54:33.000 It scares itself.

00:54:34.000 Yeah.

00:54:35.000 Like, go back and look at the... What have I done?!

00:54:38.000 Sorry about that! 1.00

00:54:39.000 You bloody... Get out of my garden! 1.00

00:54:41.000 It shoots the gun, and then it shits itself, doesn't it? 1.00

00:54:44.000 Like, have a look at the bit where it shoots the gun, Gal.

00:54:50.000 He's gone!

00:54:52.000 Bill, I'm in charge.

00:54:54.000 You tell me what to do.

00:54:55.000 Don't let dogs get out. 1.00

00:54:56.000 No, fuck you! 1.00

00:54:57.000 I don't want an armed pet. 1.00

00:55:00.000 Your pet is recalcitrant, disobedient, willfully so, enough without arming it.

00:55:06.000 Yeah, because it's already doing unnecessary, like, stomping in it, isn't it?

00:55:10.000 I don't need to do all those little tappy taps.

00:55:13.000 It's likely his truss is blinking.

00:55:15.000 It's doing too much of a thing that's fine in moderation.

00:55:19.000 Yeah.

00:55:20.000 It's like a little Nijinsky mouse dog, isn't it? 1.00

00:55:24.000 Like it's ballet-ing about.

00:55:25.000 But it's already, you know, it's not doing what it's meant to do, I reckon.

00:55:29.000 I reckon if you could say, don't shoot any bullets this time, okay.

00:55:33.000 What do you mean?

00:55:34.000 It's already taking its own choices.

00:55:36.000 It's already making its own choices.

00:55:37.000 Listen, you know I told you not to make so many little trots that you look a little prick? 1.00

00:55:43.000 Also, we'll stop it then, and I specifically said lots of fire!

00:55:49.000 Today's just the Amazon deliveries, okay?

00:55:51.000 Okay!

00:55:52.000 Whatever you say, boss!

00:55:53.000 It's gone nuts!

00:55:55.000 Don't trust them, Ross.

00:55:59.000 I'd like to see that little guy trotting around here with his uncanny.

00:56:02.000 It's the feeling you get in Exorcist when that girl goes down the stairs.

00:56:06.000 You know when she sort of flips over and goes down the stairs all like that?

00:56:09.000 That's right, yeah.

00:56:10.000 Arachnoid.

00:56:11.000 Yes.

00:56:12.000 Arachnoid menace.

00:56:13.000 Uncanny movement patterns that we are evolved to recognise as potentially dangerous deep in your core being. 0.98

00:56:20.000 You think, mm-mm, that ain't good.

00:56:22.000 Yeah.

00:56:22.000 Don't ya?

00:56:23.000 They'll be like, oh, the trotty dogs here with a machine gun. 1.00

00:56:27.000 Well, that's good news. 0.99

00:56:28.000 Hopefully it won't change its mind about loving us and spray us with bullets, the little monster. 0.98

00:56:35.000 Before we go to our item that we've been teasing, here's the news.

00:56:38.000 No, here's the effing news, where today we look at Pfizer and the Avengers and the collaboration between the two of them.

00:56:44.000 I'll just give you one little old bit of news.

00:56:48.000 Daniel Craig receives the same honour as James Bond.

00:56:52.000 Yes.

00:56:53.000 Well, like, these are my problems with... Firstly, I was... Daniel Craig, fantastic guy.

00:56:59.000 But James Bond's not real.

00:57:01.000 No, he's fictional.

00:57:01.000 So any honours James Bond get are made up.

00:57:04.000 Yeah, and also who's receiving it?

00:57:06.000 So is Daniel Craig receiving it?

00:57:07.000 There you go, Daniel.

00:57:08.000 Does that mean he had to go once as James Bond and just pretend to be him?

00:57:13.000 Well done, Bond.

00:57:14.000 Thank you.

00:57:15.000 I can't come back round.

00:57:17.000 Ah, Daniel!

00:57:19.000 Well done, well done.

00:57:20.000 Oh, thank you.

00:57:21.000 Nice to see you.

00:57:23.000 Again.

00:57:25.000 What's going on?

00:57:25.000 James Bond is pretend.

00:57:27.000 Yeah.

00:57:27.000 A pretend spy.

00:57:29.000 Daniel Craig's real, but he's only pretending to be James Bond.

00:57:33.000 Nothing in that's real.

00:57:34.000 But they've got so many medals that they just need to hand them out to anything now.

00:57:38.000 You know, just fictional characters.

00:57:38.000 Yeah.

00:57:39.000 We've got loads of medals left.

00:57:41.000 Give them to fictional characters.

00:57:42.000 Yeah.

00:57:43.000 Iron Man.

00:57:44.000 Thank you, Iron Man.

00:57:46.000 It was especially brave of you to have done that with your bad heart.

00:57:49.000 Machine gun dog, come over here. 0.99

00:57:51.000 Not that many steps!

00:57:53.000 Just take the necessary number of steps.

00:57:56.000 That's about three steps.

00:57:57.000 I can do a hundred steps in that space!

00:58:00.000 No!

00:58:01.000 Stop it, because you're too jittery.

00:58:03.000 And what I don't want a jittery thing having is a gun.

00:58:07.000 A jittery thing don't arm someone that's jittery.

00:58:10.000 Like, that's not on the gun license form, is it?

00:58:10.000 No.

00:58:13.000 No, that's if you go for an audition for the army, which I imagine they do.

00:58:16.000 They audition, that's what they call it as well, Gareth.

00:58:18.000 Yeah, I imagine so.

00:58:19.000 Do one classical dance and one modern dance, have a song in baritone.

00:58:24.000 That's right.

00:58:26.000 They don't pick the jittery person, do they?

00:58:28.000 Okay, son, what are you going to bring to these forces?

00:58:33.000 Well, I like you.

00:58:34.000 I like you.

00:58:35.000 You'll be after my job one day.

00:58:37.000 Yeah, jittery is not what we're after.

00:58:39.000 But it's a crazy world, that much is clear.

00:58:42.000 A world in which Pfizer and the Avengers can team up.

00:58:45.000 I'd like you to keep talking to us in the chat and the comments and rumble like you mean it.

00:58:48.000 If you're rumbling on a phone, it's with a little plus button, isn't it?

00:58:51.000 And if you're rumbling on a computer, just have a little look at this picture before we take you into it.

00:58:56.000 It's a picture of the Avengers, everyday heroes, Captain America, I think she's Captain Marvel, her with a Mohican. 1.00

00:59:02.000 The metally one, don't know who that is in the middle, metally one in the middle, some sort of baddie.

00:59:07.000 Who's he?

00:59:08.000 Oh, that's Ant-Man, is he?

00:59:09.000 Oh, it's Ant-Man.

00:59:09.000 He's beamed himself up to that big.

00:59:11.000 And then Scarlett Johansson, and then, uh... You're doing it now.

00:59:14.000 Mixing up fictional people with real people.

00:59:17.000 Chris Hemsworth, what you've done with that hammer has made me very, very pleased. 0.99

00:59:24.000 Here's a fucking medal. 1.00

00:59:26.000 Take that. 1.00

00:59:28.000 Um, here's the news.

00:59:29.000 Hang on a minute, sir.

00:59:30.000 I think here's the effing news.

00:59:31.000 Have a look at this. 1.00

00:59:33.000 No, here's the fucking news! 0.99

00:59:38.000 Good news everyone! 0.99

00:59:39.000 Pfizer booster shots are now available on the open market!

00:59:43.000 We can buy them when we want, how we want!

00:59:45.000 And the Avengers are endorsing them!

00:59:47.000 I know which Avenger will enjoy them most!

00:59:49.000 Tony Stark!

00:59:50.000 Especially with his heart condition!

00:59:52.000 Pfizer have enlisted the help of the Avengers to ensure you get more booster shots.

00:59:57.000 Less than 4% of eligible people have got updated COVID booster shots and only 2% of parents of children under 5 took the vaccine.

01:00:06.000 But if you think that has any connection to Pfizer partnering with Marvel you're a conspiracy theorist and quite frankly worse than Thanos.

01:00:13.000 So them teaming up with the Avengers and little cartoon people and getting Elmo off Sesame Street.

01:00:17.000 Oh, you think that's for marketing?

01:00:19.000 There was a little pinch.

01:00:21.000 Those Avengers were a treat for your birthday party.

01:00:24.000 That would be a good treat for your birthday party, ironically.

01:00:27.000 Okay, let's see if we can understand this thing.

01:00:29.000 Just like how the Avengers have repeatedly kept the world safe from Ultron, people need to protect themselves by updating their Covid-19 vaccination with the latest booster.

01:00:38.000 That's the message Pfizer and BioNTech are trying to get across in a new custom comic book partnered with Marvel.

01:00:44.000 Why is this happening?

01:00:45.000 What's the point of it?

01:00:46.000 Either you need that booster shot or you don't.

01:00:49.000 Why do we have to drag Captain America into this nightmare?

01:00:53.000 Isn't Incredible Hulk fragile enough as it is without this problem?

01:00:57.000 Aren't we concerned about Tony Stark's heart condition?

01:01:00.000 Shouldn't we be being a bit more careful with these Avengers?

01:01:03.000 What are we trying to avenge?

01:01:05.000 Stock prices falling?

01:01:06.000 We are proud to work with Marvel which is so firmly entrenched in global culture.

01:01:11.000 Oh god that makes me feel sick that sentence.

01:01:13.000 And entertainment to help remind people of the actions they can each take to protect themselves.

01:01:19.000 Similarly, how the Avengers protect their community.

01:01:21.000 Note the difference.

01:01:22.000 You protect yourself with a vaccine.

01:01:25.000 What?

01:01:25.000 Did you think that you were protecting someone else?

01:01:27.000 Did you get that idea from somewhere?

01:01:29.000 The Avengers though, they protect their community.

01:01:32.000 Like they protect their Nan.

01:01:33.000 Hey! 0.99

01:01:34.000 If you really love your Nan, you'd get an Avenger, wouldn't you?

01:01:37.000 That's all though.

01:01:38.000 That's all.

01:01:39.000 You'd get an Iron Man to protect and make sure Iron Man's heart's okay.

01:01:44.000 The new comic titled Everyday Heroes represents Pfizer flexing its marketing muscle.

01:01:49.000 Covid vaccines are slated to switch to the private commercial market after the US government failed to secure additional funding from Congress.

01:01:55.000 Because I guess they didn't think it was worth paying any more money.

01:01:59.000 As Pfizer CEO Albert Baller has said, Pfizer can be even more competitive and its commercial skills are even better suited in an open market than a government contracting model.

01:02:09.000 Oh, well perhaps you'll give us the money back then.

01:02:11.000 The project also comes amid a reportedly slow start to the Omicron booster rollout in both the US and Europe.

01:02:17.000 Enter the comic book featuring some of Marvel's most popular and powerful superheroes.

01:02:17.000 Oh.

01:02:21.000 The story happens as Ultron, which is used to represent COVID, has come back again all evolved, just like how coronavirus has developed into new variants.

01:02:31.000 As the superheroes fight Ultron a few blocks away, a grandpa and his family are waiting to get their COVID shots at a clinic.

01:02:37.000 This is actual propaganda.

01:02:38.000 The old man describes to his grandkid how the Avengers relied on new technologies to fight Ultron the first time.

01:02:44.000 As the villain keeps changing and coming out of a new power, the Avengers keep adapting and re-strategizing to beat him.

01:02:51.000 The grandpa says in a clear reference to how COVID vaccines are updated.

01:02:56.000 I mean, for example, the Hulk learned his powers on five mice, not six mice.

01:03:01.000 He would practice punching those little mice.

01:03:04.000 And if five or six mice died, Hulk would say, well that's a pretty good power we've got ourselves there.

01:03:09.000 And that bejeweled glove.

01:03:11.000 Each one of those jewels of Thanos' glove represents a mouse that got a booster shot.

01:03:17.000 In this round of the battle, Iron Man arrives with an ionized energy cannon and Ultron flees the scene, a news anchor reports.

01:03:24.000 The plot leaves the door open to potential follow-up chapters.

01:03:26.000 I'll be interested to see the edition where Tony Stark, with his heart condition, gets a COVID jab.

01:03:32.000 It's later revealed that the Grandpa used to work at a company that helps clean up the messes after superhero fights. 0.94

01:03:37.000 Even in the fucking comic book, there's a revolving door of corporate conspiracy. 0.94

01:03:42.000 Actually, before this, I used to work at J.P. 0.99

01:03:45.000 Morgan.

01:03:45.000 Then I worked for a while as a lobbyist in Washington.

01:03:48.000 Grandpa, I'm starting to go off you. 1.00

01:03:50.000 Shut up, kid! 1.00

01:03:51.000 It's the way the system works! 0.99

01:03:52.000 That's how I know we can fight back against even tough, ever-evolving enemies.

01:03:57.000 If you're willing to adapt, fight back, and take steps to help protect yourself, the grandpa says.

01:04:01.000 A disgusting message.

01:04:03.000 In the next frame, the father adds, that's exactly what we're doing today.

01:04:06.000 With a Pfizer poster hanging on the wall in the background.

01:04:09.000 Oh, Stanley.

01:04:10.000 Come on, baby. 0.97

01:04:11.000 The story ends with what appears to be a ceremonial scene, featuring the Avengers on stage and the family off stage, all wearing bandages on their arms, indicating they've received the vaccine.

01:04:20.000 What makes them everyday heroes, one page reads.

01:04:22.000 They know what to do to help defend against COVID-19.

01:04:25.000 Vaccinate!

01:04:26.000 Stay up to date with the latest recommended booster for you and be an everyday hero at Banner States, accompanied by a scannable QR code containing COVID vaccination information from Pfizer.

01:04:38.000 I suppose in a way it's good to encourage... I don't know what to say!

01:04:41.000 The world, this is your planet, okay!

01:04:44.000 Let's see though how Pfizer's profit model is operating and let's cast the mind back to the beginning of the pandemic and the pledges made by big pharmaceutical companies about the unique challenges we face.

01:04:54.000 Heroism is about self-sacrifice.

01:04:57.000 Modern-day heroes are the values that used to be enshrined in gods in religions.

01:05:02.000 In a secular culture, these gods, these energies, come back in different forms, but always they have to embody values that are important to our culture.

01:05:10.000 Kindness, humility, community.

01:05:12.000 There's nothing wrong with that.

01:05:13.000 That's all fantastic.

01:05:15.000 Do you think that Pfizer are motivated by the desire to help people?

01:05:18.000 Or do you think they care primarily about profits?

01:05:22.000 Let me know in the comments.

01:05:23.000 Let me know in the chat.

01:05:24.000 Let's have a look at some data to help us make up our own sweet little minds. 0.86

01:05:28.000 In summer 2020, as COVID vaccines moved ahead at warp speed, the companies behind them promised they wouldn't make too much money on them.

01:05:34.000 Okay, well, I sort of remember hearing that they made billions and had their best ever year.

01:05:40.000 Their best ever!

01:05:41.000 We're not gonna make too much money.

01:05:42.000 Oh, so you won't be having your best and most profitable year ever?

01:05:45.000 Well, if we do, that would certainly be at odds with what we just said.

01:05:48.000 Let's carry on.

01:05:49.000 Johnson & Johnson is Okay.

01:05:50.000 So you would imagine that a statement like that wouldn't be followed by record profits, wouldn't you?

01:05:50.000 Okay.

01:05:54.000 Would you imagine that?

01:05:55.000 Let me know in the chat.

01:05:56.000 charging a single price worldwide rather than charging countries like the United States

01:05:59.000 more. Okay. Pfizer chairman Albert Buller was also emphatic.

01:06:03.000 His company was developing a COVID vaccine for the good of humanity, not for money, he

01:06:08.000 told Time magazine July 2020. So you would imagine that a statement like that

01:06:14.000 wouldn't be followed by record profits, wouldn't you? Would you imagine that? Let me know in the

01:06:18.000 chat. Let me know in the comments.

01:06:19.000 This is not business as usual.

01:06:21.000 Not for our baller, which is a bit taller.

01:06:23.000 He said, if you were calculating return on investment, we would never do this.

01:06:26.000 What?

01:06:27.000 For money?

01:06:28.000 Over at Pfizer?

01:06:30.000 Hey, I'm offended.

01:06:31.000 What, you think those opioids, we're trying to help people with that stuff.

01:06:34.000 We would never do these things.

01:06:35.000 We were discussing that back in March, what that means to human lives, to the economy of the world.

01:06:40.000 So it was a must that we take those measures.

01:06:42.000 Thus, Pfizer would not overcharge for the mRNA vaccine it was developing with the German company BioNTech, Baller said.

01:06:48.000 We are going to charge governments a very, very nominal value, he said, because Pfizer would charge so little, it believed governments should give it shots free of charge to all citizens.

01:06:58.000 Asked directly if Pfizer intended to profit.

01:07:00.000 Do you intend to profit?

01:07:01.000 Bourla said, we will make a very, very marginal profit at this stage.

01:07:07.000 Now, if you're like me and you love language, you would think the significant words in that statement would be, we will make a marginal profit.

01:07:15.000 Very, very marginal profit.

01:07:17.000 That's what you would imagine is the important information.

01:07:19.000 But the important information is actually at this stage.

01:07:22.000 That is the most important and marginal.

01:07:25.000 It could be a great bit.

01:07:26.000 This is a margin.

01:07:27.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:07:28.000 Look at that margin!

01:07:30.000 Oh yeah, I can see poor people over there.

01:07:32.000 That's...

01:07:33.000 Outrageous at this stage because down the line they made 108 billion.

01:07:37.000 Do you think Pfizer should be able to keep that money?

01:07:41.000 Do you think that government should be reimbursed?

01:07:43.000 Do you think that given that this much of this experimentation was funded by taxpayer money that the profit should be returned to the taxpayer also?

01:07:51.000 These are just things for you to consider.

01:07:52.000 Let me know in the chat.

01:07:53.000 In February, Pfizer forecast that its revenue this year will grow to a total between $98 billion and $102 billion.

01:08:00.000 That's the highest estimate for the 173-year-old pharmaceutical company ever.

01:08:05.000 What a mad coincidence!

01:08:07.000 Pfizer, totally not motivated by money, doing it for the good of humanity, looking for a marginal profit, somehow, against all odds, a bit like Iron Man or something, ended up having the best profits in their entire history.

01:08:19.000 What a wonderful system!

01:08:21.000 What a crazy world!

01:08:22.000 Makes me think of the values of, like, Spider-Man, and Iron Man, and Thor, and all those other great heroes that fight for justice and truth.

01:08:30.000 Pfizer, Thor, Spider-Man, Johnson & Johnson.

01:08:35.000 For me, it's all just one panoply of heroes, all just out to help humanity.

01:08:40.000 That's just what I think.

01:08:41.000 Let me know what you think in the chat.

01:08:42.000 I'll see you in a second.

01:08:53.000 Some of those other laws that there are, mate.

01:08:56.000 Waddle want says law and order.

01:08:59.000 Patriot Sean, natural law.

01:09:00.000 Zazaba.

01:09:02.000 Universal law, natural law, maritime law.

01:09:04.000 Nice one.

01:09:05.000 Lucky Dog, oh well.

01:09:06.000 Murphy's Law.

01:09:07.000 Oh, that's a good one.

01:09:08.000 Yeah, these are a good one.

01:09:08.000 Oh, very good.

01:09:10.000 You know, in England they always say, Sod's Law.

01:09:12.000 You drop something, it lands the wrong way up.

01:09:14.000 Sod's Law.

01:09:15.000 I've heard my dad once change that to Sea Word's Law.

01:09:18.000 Just to give it more clout.

01:09:20.000 Right, yeah.

01:09:21.000 It's Law, he said.

01:09:22.000 Daddy, isn't it Sod's Law? 0.84

01:09:25.000 He's watching now.

01:09:27.000 Is that what happened to my shrimp?

01:09:28.000 Where's those shrimps? 0.97

01:09:32.000 You killed them!

01:09:32.000 Well, that's not like that.

01:09:33.000 He's lovely, Ron Brown.

01:09:35.000 You watching, Dad?

01:09:36.000 You alright?

01:09:36.000 Let us know in the comments.

01:09:38.000 Fronko P, Jude Law, and Big Bill 235, mother-in-law.

01:09:44.000 Good contributions, everyone.

01:09:45.000 Well done.

01:09:45.000 Thank you.

01:09:46.000 What a lovely community you are.

01:09:48.000 How beautiful you are.

01:09:49.000 Um, the thing was about that Pfizer-Avengers thing is that it's utilizing the idea of heroism.

01:09:57.000 As we talked about on this show previously, heroism ultimately can only be determined by our willingness to sacrifice for others.

01:10:05.000 As Bob McKee, the great screenwriter-instructor, told me, and everyone who does his class, Look, if you want to demonstrate heroism, you have to show it through sacrifice, because all else is just affection.

01:10:18.000 In fact, he said love.

01:10:20.000 If you want to demonstrate love, you have to show it through sacrifice.

01:10:23.000 I was thinking about the idea of the hero.

01:10:24.000 I was thinking about the mythic notion that the hero is the movement from the ego to the transcendent self.

01:10:31.000 That's the energy that's required to get from the person that's only concerned about what they want and what they're going to get for themselves.

01:10:37.000 You have to move.

01:10:38.000 And that's why every film is about A hero undertaking that very journey.

01:10:43.000 The thing that troubles me is that the people that control the messaging, they know what our values are.

01:10:49.000 They know what heroism is.

01:10:51.000 That's why you get things like Albert Baller saying we certainly won't be making any profits from this Pfizer situation like we covered there.

01:10:59.000 Nominal.

01:11:00.000 Nominal.

01:11:01.000 Phenomenal profit, just the biggest profits we've ever made.

01:11:05.000 Because they know, they actually know it's not right.

01:11:09.000 Otherwise, why did they say that bit at the beginning?

01:11:11.000 Because they know it would be wrong to exploit the global pandemic for profit, and yet...

01:11:17.000 That's exactly what they did.

01:11:18.000 So among all the other more controversial shifts in narrative, some of which we're not able to talk about on other platforms, but we can here, for example, the general impression that it was going to stop transmission, even though vaccines aren't generally understood to stop transmission, all of that, stop the spread, all of that, if you don't get the vaccine, you're selfish, all of that stuff.

01:11:39.000 And we have a variety of views on the vaccine here, just so you guys know, but You know, I don't have a strong view on whether or not other people should take tablets or pills or use a cream or one of those pens.

01:11:49.000 Actually, I do have strong views on that.

01:11:51.000 They're showing off.

01:11:52.000 No, they're not.

01:11:53.000 They're obviously doing it for necessary medical reasons.

01:11:55.000 It's that exploitation, that...

01:11:58.000 That shift from a project that was for humanity, that was about the sacredness of human life, about the necessity for us all to pull together, leading to this economic crash, leading to greater ability to spy and gather data, leading to huge profits for already powerful institutions.

01:12:15.000 That's what troubles me most, and no one can provide a reasonable argument against that position.

01:12:23.000 Can they, Gail?

01:12:24.000 No, I mean, you know, when you're at the stage where they're teaming up with the Avengers at a time when, as you say, it's now on the open market, you know, that is clearly a marketing exercise.

01:12:35.000 There's no other way of looking at it.

01:12:36.000 Otherwise, you would say, well, we're only doing that to raise awareness.

01:12:39.000 And as we said, we're taking a nominal profit.

01:12:42.000 But once you know that those profits are not nominal, that they are record in their entire history, then you have to then view teaming up with the Avengers as being more than just raising awareness.

01:12:53.000 Yeah, but it's a response to, oh no, we're no longer guaranteed government contracts.

01:12:58.000 Our share price is going to drop.

01:13:00.000 How are we going to mitigate that?

01:13:02.000 Team up with popular commercial partners.

01:13:04.000 It's plainly that.

01:13:05.000 If you think it's something else, let me know in the chat.

01:13:07.000 Or if you think it's that, let me know in the chat.

01:13:09.000 And here are a whole bunch of other intellectual properties being exploited.

01:13:13.000 You might not know in your country, America, but in this country, a sort of banking organization called Halifax use all of Hanna-Barbera's back catalogue, including beloved Fred Flintstone, Top Cat, called Boss Cat in America, I believe.

01:13:26.000 That dinosaur, I don't care about him, actually, do what you want with him.

01:13:28.000 And Scooby and Shaggy down the Alifax.

01:13:31.000 I don't think Scooby and Shaggy would even have a bank account.

01:13:34.000 Of course not.

01:13:35.000 They're living on Scooby Snacks, aren't they?

01:13:35.000 They're hand to mouth.

01:13:37.000 They're not like, right, hold on a minute, what interest rate are you getting?

01:13:41.000 They ain't got a bank account!

01:13:42.000 He's too nervous, Shaggy. 0.99

01:13:44.000 Oh, man!

01:13:44.000 I'm not filling in a form Scoob!

01:13:46.000 Huh? Huh?

01:13:48.000 Inflation! Inflation!

01:13:50.000 Scooby was fucking out of control, wasn't he? 0.99

01:13:54.000 Let's face it. 0.99

01:13:55.000 The only one that would might be Scrappy.

01:13:57.000 He might have one, I don't know.

01:13:59.000 Like a Young Savers account or something.

01:14:02.000 I've invested a hundred bucks!

01:14:04.000 He'd be like, I've got crypto money! 0.99

01:14:06.000 I've got Bitcoin coming out the fucking wazoo, Uncle Scoobs! 0.99

01:14:10.000 I never liked him. 0.99

01:14:12.000 Did you not, Scrappy?

01:14:13.000 Nah, he ruined the vibe.

01:14:14.000 Did you like him?

01:14:15.000 Why did you like him?

01:14:18.000 He's like that robot dog. 0.99

01:14:19.000 Strap a gun to Scrappy-Doo's back, it'd kill anyone, wouldn't it? 1.00

01:14:23.000 I did what was right for America! 1.00

01:14:26.000 I did what I did because it was the right thing to do at the time, you jittery little fucker! 1.00

01:14:30.000 Get that gun off him! 1.00

01:14:31.000 We never understood why it was his nephew as well. 0.99

01:14:34.000 The reason that he was his nephew, as pointed out by the great English comedian David Baddiel, is because no one wanted the image of Scooby-Doo with an erection ejaculating into a female dog. 0.94

01:14:45.000 Because Scooby as well, Was a bit like that, wasn't he? 0.95

01:14:49.000 He was like... He was thinking about sex and drugs the whole time.

01:14:53.000 That's what Scooby ran on. 0.98

01:14:57.000 That's an orgasm! 1.00

01:14:58.000 Right.

01:14:59.000 He lived on the brink of orgasm.

01:15:01.000 Anyway, we could go on, of course, but the fact is we are only contractually obligated to provide one hour of content a day before moving to stay free AF, our members community.

01:15:11.000 We are gonna now, I wanna just let you know that this week we've got, God, so many fantastic stories.

01:15:17.000 One about a new COVID strain, we're talking about the war.

01:15:20.000 We're gonna be doing more wellness techniques to make sure that you are well looked after and loved.

01:15:25.000 We're beginning that with our breath work with beer in a minute.

01:15:28.000 And Nick Ortner, my friend from Tapping Solutions, is gonna be teaching us techniques to manage our anxiety and our emotions.

01:15:35.000 That's available if you join the Stay Free AF community.

01:15:38.000 The link is in the description.

01:15:40.000 Now though, I'm going to join Biette, who is my friend who participated in Community last year and will be joining us again at Community 2023.

01:15:49.000 Now, I believe we're having a bit of trouble with your audio, Biette.

01:15:53.000 Can we see Biette's face while you grapple with the audio challenges, guys?

01:15:58.000 Hello, Biette, we can't hear you at all.

01:16:00.000 No, still not.

01:16:01.000 Actually, I can hear you with such clarity.

01:16:04.000 It's like she's here.

01:16:06.000 Yeah, it's like you're in our consciousness.

01:16:08.000 I can hear you so well, and you look amazing.

01:16:10.000 How are you?

01:16:11.000 I'm so good.

01:16:12.000 It's so nice to see you.

01:16:13.000 Good show!

01:16:15.000 Thank you.

01:16:15.000 I hope you're enjoying it.

01:16:16.000 We love you so much.

01:16:17.000 That's a fantastic hat.

01:16:18.000 You look so cool.

01:16:19.000 Your bangs, as you call it in your country, are terrific.

01:16:22.000 What we're going to do is we're going to do our breath work over into this little area of the studio, and we'll do it with Stay Free AF.

01:16:30.000 If you're not a member yet, become a member now.

01:16:32.000 It's super easy.

01:16:33.000 BX techniques are fantastic.

01:16:35.000 Have a look at me explaining them to Jimmy Fallon when I was making a mainstream media appearance recently to promote... I can't remember what I was doing anymore.

01:16:42.000 I think I was in a film.

01:16:43.000 I must have been in a film.

01:16:44.000 I must have been in a film because I was on Jimmy Fallon.

01:16:47.000 Have a look at me.

01:16:48.000 I got Jimmy Fallon to do BH techniques.

01:16:50.000 You can do those techniques with us in a minute.

01:16:52.000 Have a look at those techniques.

01:16:54.000 With this breathing exercise, you could experience a glimpse of the divine.

01:16:59.000 Inhale like this.

01:17:01.000 When you exhale, clap forward and relax.

01:17:04.000 I think I, I think I felt it.

01:17:05.000 Hello Dan, hello everyone.

01:17:12.000 So, listen, we're going to wrap up the show... Oh, look at me here.

01:17:18.000 Gareth, why don't you join me here and do some breathwork as well?

01:17:21.000 So, we're going to do this breathwork technique over on Stay Free AF.

01:17:25.000 If you're watching us on the Rumble stream now, join us tomorrow.

01:17:27.000 If you're listening to us on a podcast, remember we do these things every day.

01:17:30.000 Join us when we talk to Eckhart Tolle, Elon Musk, Date to be confirmed.

01:17:34.000 Can you?

01:17:35.000 Date to be confirmed.

01:17:36.000 Jordan Peterson, date confirmed.

01:17:38.000 And right now we're going to do this wonderful technique with beer.

01:17:42.000 Thank you for joining us today.

01:17:43.000 I hope you learned something about Pfizer.

01:17:46.000 I hope you learned about commodification of medicine and financial imperatives.

01:17:49.000 What are you thinking about now?

01:17:50.000 I don't know.

01:17:51.000 Do you feel unusual?

01:17:51.000 It's just a bit strange.

01:17:52.000 Yes.

01:17:52.000 We haven't done anything yet.

01:17:53.000 I've not got my desk anymore.

01:17:55.000 No desk now. 0.91

01:17:56.000 The genitals are in the world. 0.95

01:17:59.000 Because that's what the desk does on a talk show, isn't it?

01:18:01.000 On a normal talk show, like Fallon or whatever, the desk is, that's your power.

01:18:06.000 That is your power, that desk.

01:18:08.000 I'm in charge, isn't it?

01:18:10.000 It is that, yeah.

01:18:11.000 Well, you ain't got no desk now.

01:18:12.000 Where's your God now?

01:18:15.000 Where's your God now?

01:18:16.000 Within and all around.

01:18:18.000 Limitless and accessible to all.

01:18:20.000 And the techniques that we're about to do with Beate Simpkin over on Stay Free AF will help us to connect to that limitless oneness.

01:18:25.000 Whether we like it... Oh, you don't know what to do with your face.

01:18:28.000 I see when people do that on TV.

01:18:29.000 I love that, huh?

01:18:30.000 Like, look at me.

01:18:31.000 That's what you do.

01:18:31.000 Look at you.

01:18:32.000 Yeah, you idiot. 1.00

01:18:33.000 Like, look over at him like you're waiting for your bit. 1.00

01:18:36.000 It's very awkward.

01:18:37.000 It's easy, just look over at me.

01:18:39.000 Look at you.

01:18:40.000 Oh, like we're on the news or something?

01:18:42.000 Yeah, we're on the news.

01:18:43.000 I'm the lady one, you're the man one.

01:18:45.000 And do it like you're thinking, these are good points.

01:18:47.000 Good points, these.

01:18:48.000 You don't say it!

01:18:48.000 No, absolutely not.

01:18:51.000 I'm watching you on the monitor, right?

01:18:52.000 Go on.

01:18:52.000 That's it, that's good.

01:18:53.000 You look handsome.

01:18:54.000 Stop.

01:18:55.000 You're a good kid.

01:18:56.000 I stick up for you in the staff room if you have teachers.

01:18:59.000 Just relax.

01:19:00.000 OK, so, listen.

01:19:01.000 We're going to keep doing this.

01:19:03.000 This is the bit where we're going to transcend to another dimension, two higher dimension, with B.S.

01:19:07.000 Simpkin, the great breathwork teacher.

01:19:09.000 Join us for the rest of the week.

01:19:10.000 We've got fantastic shows every day where we're going to be exposing inequities and corruption in the systems, in or out, showing you techniques, methods and ways to bring out the limitless light that even now shines from within you.

01:19:22.000 See you tomorrow, same time, stay free!

01:19:25.000 Those of you that are watching us on Stay Free AF, wait for about a minute and then we'll be kicking in with B.F.
