Stay Free - Russel Brand - The Return of Control: From Lockdowns to Censorship to War - SF663

00:00:07.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brown trying to bring real journalism to the American people.

00:00:17.000 Hello there, you awakening wonders.

00:00:18.000 Thanks for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brown.

00:00:20.000 If you ain't got Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium.

00:00:22.000 Now you get additional content from me and it's a great show today.

00:00:24.000 We're talking about the new pandemic in the UK, the flu one.

00:00:27.000 They're forgetting though that they've already used this lie really recently of COVID and masks and in their reporting state-funded media like the BBC are tripping over their own feet in error.

00:00:38.000 And we remind you too what happened in 2020 when they actually cancelled Christmas.

00:00:43.000 Looking back just with a half a decade of hindsight, the whole thing looks absurd.

00:00:48.000 It's a real joy.

00:00:49.000 We're talking too about the Ukraine and Zelensky and the way that people are beginning to recognize now that Ukraine was always a pretty corrupt country. 0.84

00:00:56.000 That's not a unique attack on Ukraine, certainly not on Ukrainian people, but it's just the government of a country is not the same as the people of a country.

00:01:02.000 Whether you're talking about Israel or the United Kingdom or the United States of America, generally speaking, governments are aligned with and enmeshed in sets of globalist interests and maybe things that are even darker than that.

00:01:15.000 And the people are human beings and children of God and one world family.

00:01:18.000 And Lord, I pray that one day we're able to return this.

00:01:21.000 So we've got Zelensky, we've got COVID and also the EU versus X. What a battle that's shaping up to be.

00:01:29.000 All of these are deep dive episodes.

00:01:31.000 Let us know what you think in the comment and chat.

00:01:33.000 Sorry, I keep spitting.

00:01:33.000 I'm so excited about this thing.

00:01:34.000 I think it's to do with this shirt also.

00:01:36.000 What do you think?

00:01:36.000 Let me know in the comments and chat.

00:01:38.000 This stuff's pretty delicious.

00:01:40.000 Give it a go, baby.

00:01:41.000 Ah!

00:01:42.000 If you're watching us on locals, hello, I love you.

00:01:44.000 If you're watching us on Rumble Premium, I couldn't love you anymore.

00:01:47.000 And if you're watching us on X or YouTube or any of those places, get on over to Rumble and join us there.

00:01:52.000 And remember, if you haven't bought any reborn stuff yet, buy some right now.

00:01:57.000 Every dollar you spend gets you entered into a prize drawer to win this beautiful but dangerous Jeep.

00:02:03.000 And so here, without any further ado, here's the first of today's stories.

00:02:07.000 Stay with us.

00:02:10.000 When is the flu not the flu?

00:02:12.000 When we need to control you, super flu is back.

00:02:15.000 Get in your house.

00:02:18.000 Here's the mainstream media telling you to stop the spread.

00:02:21.000 It's a bit of a throwback, isn't it?

00:02:22.000 We were used to wearing these a few years ago.

00:02:24.000 Now this is the precaution being taken.

00:02:26.000 Also, people are being told to make sure their hands are clean and that they're not bringing germs into the hospital.

00:02:31.000 We're in the outpatients here. 0.94

00:02:33.000 That's just ridiculous.

00:02:34.000 If in Germany they started dishing out yellow stars again and pink triangles, do you think people might go, wait a minute?

00:02:40.000 Okay, if Yvonne dules to register for special benefits, he owns his place. 0.99

00:02:45.000 You might go, we're not fucking doing that again. 0.78

00:02:48.000 But when it comes to the mask, don't do it. 0.98

00:02:50.000 Don't comply.

00:02:52.000 They're not telling you the truth.

00:02:53.000 Why don't you talk to the many doctors and nurses that regret taking the shot?

00:02:57.000 Why don't you talk to the members of the military that have had to be readmitted after not taking the shot?

00:03:02.000 I know they're not making the claim that this is directly analogous or identical to COVID, but it's similar enough to warrant your cynicism.

00:03:10.000 At Sunderland Royal, and you can see the campaign is very clear indeed.

00:03:15.000 That's because in the past couple of weeks they have seen the number of patients with flu here and at their sister.

00:03:24.000 With flu, not from flu.

00:03:26.000 Flu here and at their sister hospital trepled to 45 patients. 0.99

00:03:32.000 Where's the fucking people in that hospital, by the way? 0.99

00:03:34.000 Have you been to an hospital lately? 0.99

00:03:35.000 It all is like that, just a bunch of screens, dark, depressing, weird.

00:03:40.000 What's happening to our country?

00:03:41.000 What's going on in the UK or up, as I call it, because it's that's kind of reflecting the national picture as well, where last week, 1700 patients across England were admitted and they were suffering from flu.

00:03:55.000 That's a 50% rise on this time.

00:03:57.000 Why don't we have a ticker across the bottom of the screen telling us how many people are dying of flu?

00:04:01.000 They've had Titan Pull Christmas tree up.

00:04:02.000 My God, the UK is crazy and it's in serious trouble, but don't worry, it's going to be okay.

00:04:07.000 We are going to organise some meaningful resistance, whether it's opposing the digital ID or the getting rid of trial by jury or any one of any facial recognition, potential war with Russia.

00:04:18.000 I can do a longer list if you want to.

00:04:20.000 It's totally corrupt.

00:04:20.000 You need a new Oliver Cromwell, not Oliver Cromwell's behaviour to the Irish wasn't appalling.

00:04:25.000 There's a revolution coming.

00:04:27.000 Let's get into it.

00:04:28.000 Look, just because the number of patients rising has started earlier doesn't mean this flu season is going to end earlier.

00:04:34.000 And NHS bosses are really quite concerned about the pressure that is going to be put on services, hence those figures coming out later.

00:04:41.000 We also know that in Birmingham, four hospitals have declared a critical incident.

00:04:46.000 Get that mask off.

00:04:48.000 There's no one in there.

00:04:49.000 There's no one else in there.

00:04:50.000 Don't do things for no reason.

00:04:52.000 Don't do things for no reason.

00:04:54.000 Stop bowing down and kowtowing to your false idols of the state.

00:04:58.000 Stop worshiping at the awe of the BBC.

00:05:01.000 You can't trust them.

00:05:02.000 You cannot trust the legacy media.

00:05:04.000 All of these institutions that I would have laid down my life for once, the BBC, the NHS, people did lay down their lives from.

00:05:10.000 Our ancestors laid down their lives from.

00:05:13.000 Not that long ago, less than 100 years ago, members of your family died so that you could have state-funded institutions like the BBC.

00:05:21.000 They have, they raise a tax, don't they, through licenses that's mandatory, so it's a tax.

00:05:24.000 And the NHS, which your taxes pay for.

00:05:26.000 These were beautiful ideas.

00:05:28.000 These were good versions of secular saints.

00:05:30.000 The NHS, a feminine saint that provides care and nurture and love and concern.

00:05:35.000 What a beautiful idea.

00:05:36.000 Totally corrupted, totally disrupted, total chaos being utilized now to legitimise authoritarianism and government overreach.

00:05:43.000 It's happened before, happened in 2019, and it's happening now.

00:05:46.000 Don't trust them again.

00:05:47.000 Partly because of the number of flu cases putting those pressures on.

00:05:50.000 And we know that up in the northeast, this isn't the only hospital that has introduced the mask wearing and, of course, that washing of hands that we have been talking about.

00:06:00.000 So the message is: if you're coming into hospitals, please do wash your hands, wear the mask, because then you're going to stop the spread.

00:06:06.000 Why is the BBC doing that?

00:06:08.000 Why is the BBC saying that?

00:06:09.000 We've already had the signs.

00:06:10.000 And hopefully reduce the pressure that is being put on services.

00:06:15.000 Look, we know that some people can present with mild symptoms.

00:06:18.000 And bosses here are saying you may have mild symptoms, but if you pass it on to somebody who's vulnerable, that's going to possibly cause more problems because, ah, the old vulnerable technique, you see, someone vulnerable.

00:06:29.000 There's always these imaginary vulnerable people that the BBC and the government are protecting.

00:06:34.000 You might be all right.

00:06:34.000 You might be able to run your own life, run your own family, run your own community.

00:06:39.000 You might be strong and connected to God.

00:06:41.000 But what about vulnerable people?

00:06:42.000 I'll tell you what, I'll tell you the last people I'm going to trust to look after the vulnerable. 1.00

00:06:47.000 It's you lying, corrupt, filthy scum. 1.00

00:06:51.000 So, mask wearing, hand washing, and those figures coming out later today are going to give a true picture of what is going on. 1.00

00:06:57.000 But everybody can do their bit to try to prevent the spread of flu for now at least.

00:07:04.000 It's inevitable, really.

00:07:05.000 We're all going to get flu.

00:07:07.000 Yeah, flu. 0.99

00:07:08.000 So, fucking what? 1.00

00:07:11.000 Well, people will die. 1.00

00:07:12.000 Yeah, well, not people will die.

00:07:15.000 Everyone's going to die.

00:07:17.000 Everyone's going to die.

00:07:19.000 How about having some integrity while you're alive?

00:07:23.000 It's not a personal attack on that lady, journalist, whatever she would like to be called.

00:07:27.000 She's got fantastic hair. 1.00

00:07:28.000 And when it comes to conditioner, I'd take her advice to the ends of the earth.

00:07:32.000 But when it comes to masks, she's plainly lying because we've already been on this roundabout.

00:07:37.000 As the familiar health warnings of 2020 begin to dominate once more, fresh scandals rip through the institutions that shape the pandemic years.

00:07:46.000 So are we finally seeing the cracks in a system whose hidden incentives may have steered a nation's fate?

00:07:52.000 Or will history repeat herself again? 1.00

00:07:56.000 The loudmouth repetitive bitch. 1.00

00:07:58.000 Schools across the UK are falling back into lockdown as a flu outbreak sweeps classrooms and public health officials urge mask wearing, even though they admitted last time that masks don't work. 0.99

00:08:10.000 I know what they'll say.

00:08:11.000 They'll go, oh, well, masks don't work under these circumstances, but they work under these circumstances.

00:08:16.000 Stop the spread, flatten the curve. 0.60

00:08:19.000 take the spike, have a jab.

00:08:20.000 It'll be the usual stuff.

00:08:22.000 Public health officials urge mark wearing with the same familiar language that dominated the winter of 2020.

00:08:26.000 Yet the timing's more alarming because three major revelations have erupted at once, tearing open the sealed vault of decisions that shaped the pandemic years.

00:08:36.000 The stories breaking in 2025 are the very scandals that were dismissed as paranoia and misinformation or conspiracy in 2020.

00:08:44.000 Let's get into it.

00:08:46.000 First came the disclosures that England's chief medical officer pressured government ethics advisors to stop putting their concerns in writing.

00:08:53.000 That's interesting.

00:08:54.000 The Moral and Ethical Advisory Group or MIAG.

00:08:57.000 You Miags, you Miags, you can't trust Miags, was created to guide ministers through the most difficult trade-offs of the pandemic. 1.00

00:09:05.000 Trade-offs.

00:09:06.000 It was meant to ensure that policy never drifted into a moral void.

00:09:10.000 That's the least you can do in it as a government.

00:09:12.000 Are we in a moral void right now?

00:09:14.000 Wait a minute.

00:09:15.000 Wait.

00:09:16.000 Is this a moral void that we've been living in?

00:09:18.000 Yeah, it's a moral void because you killed God and replaced it with, well, Satan, but via Dominion, property, profit, stuff like that.

00:09:27.000 But as soon as MIAG raised concerns about lockdown harms, vaccine passports and the rushed push to vaccinate children, it was pushed aside.

00:09:37.000 Chris Witty went as far as advising the group to stop putting its recommendations in writing.

00:09:42.000 Don't write any of this down because it might look bad in a couple of years, but everyone finds out we were lying.

00:09:48.000 Who remembers the bit when Chris Witte was jostled by youths?

00:09:52.000 Those youths got pretty punishing sentences as well, as I recall.

00:09:56.000 They just saw Chris Whitty. 0.99

00:09:57.000 And this is when I sort of realized that I kind of love dumb culture. 0.94

00:10:01.000 It's because what happened was, is like Chris Whitty was like our chief medical officer and he was like sort of like a bald like scientist guy. 0.90

00:10:08.000 He was not even as charismatic as someone like Fauci, right?

00:10:10.000 He was sort of like a hello and he looked a bit like he might have sort of an undercurrent of eczema, you know them people where they've not got eczema but you could see that they could easily get it right. 0.78

00:10:19.000 He looked like that and like these lads saw him in a park, like football lads, and because the culture's so stupid now they just sort of treated him like a celebrity. 0.79

00:10:28.000 Hey, Chris Witty, they sort of shook him around. 0.97

00:10:32.000 It was very funny.

00:10:33.000 It was awful because poor Chris Whitty is a human being, but it's also funny because the culture has used media and semiotics in such a trite and trivializing way, like i.e everyone tried to turn Fauci into a sort of celebrity. 0.96

00:10:48.000 Well, that's what people do like you think I've not had to deal with stuff like that as a famous person people getting like too fucking hands-on and aggressive crazy man.

00:10:56.000 Members reported feeling sidelined and effectively banned from discussing the pandemic, while ministers pushed ahead with unprecedented restrictions when the group prepared a memo stressing that vaccines for healthy children were invasive, irreversible and may have long-term side effects. 0.73

00:11:12.000 Yes, they were invasive.

00:11:13.000 Yes, irreversible.

00:11:14.000 Everything's irreversible basically.

00:11:16.000 And long-term side effects, bingo, baby, it was suppressed.

00:11:20.000 A whistleblower said they were told to stop this.

00:11:22.000 Could you stop this?

00:11:23.000 Could you stop raising concerns?

00:11:24.000 It's not like we have a primary duty to not be in a moral void.

00:11:29.000 You shouldn't be in a moral void.

00:11:31.000 Oh man.

00:11:32.000 Miag meetings were cancelled when they raised concerns.

00:11:35.000 At the moment when the nation most needed independent scrutiny, it was deliberately shut down.

00:11:40.000 Let me know in the comments and chat why that would be.

00:11:42.000 Why would you shut down independent scrutiny?

00:11:44.000 Because guess what I was doing during the COVID pandemic?

00:11:47.000 I was offering independent scrutiny.

00:11:49.000 It was advised by experts in the same way that you are.

00:11:52.000 Like I was reading Robert Malone or Peter McCulloch or Jay Battachari or Martin McCario or Robert Kennedy or other people that are subject to attack, even if they're in government at this point.

00:12:02.000 And we were making our own independent assessments and you know, we followed the actual science, discourse analysis, clinical trial.

00:12:09.000 And it turns out that we, that collective we, the anti-establishment dissidents, were right.

00:12:16.000 And it turns out that if you do that, they will try and destroy you.

00:12:20.000 So do pay attention.

00:12:21.000 Make sure you mean it.

00:12:22.000 Otherwise, you might not like it when they try and destroy you.

00:12:24.000 Then came two bombshell headlines from legacy outlets that once dismissed scepticism as misinformation.

00:12:30.000 The Atlantic.

00:12:31.000 Yes, some children may have died from COVID shots, they now acknowledge.

00:12:34.000 The Telegraph, who of course reported the stories, Russell Brown rapists, they now admit how COVID vaccines can cause heart damage.

00:12:40.000 Articles like these would have been unimaginable in the media landscape of 2021 when even asking such questions invoked smears, bans and professional destruction.

00:12:50.000 Now they read like late confessions from institutions trying to outrun the truth while simultaneously telling you to believe in super flu.

00:12:58.000 We've got the James Gunn version of super flu now.

00:13:01.000 We've reimagined super flu.

00:13:03.000 It's like a Guardians of the Galaxy COVID.

00:13:05.000 It's a fun new COVID.

00:13:07.000 But the most chilling report may be the one showing that 26 members of SAGE, the scientific advisory group whose modeling and council shaped every lockdown policy, get ready guys, failed to disclose more than $200 million in grants from the Wellcome Trust.

00:13:25.000 Wellcome, if you didn't know, is one of the world's most powerful medical research funders with deep, deep, yep, let me emphasize that, deep ties to the pharmaceutical sector and had publicly declared early in the pandemic that drugs, vaccines and rapid diagnostics were the only exit strategy.

00:13:44.000 Many of the same sage voices that were urging the government towards that path were simultaneously receiving millions in funding from Wellcome.

00:13:51.000 Funding the public was never ever told about.

00:13:55.000 26 scientists in positions of immense influence shaping politics that affected every citizen, every child, while withholding financial relationships with the very sector that stood to profit from a pharmaceutical first pandemic response.

00:14:08.000 What a miracle.

00:14:09.000 Pay attention if you're in the UK now that they're trying to get rid of jury trials.

00:14:12.000 They're trying to introduce digital ID.

00:14:15.000 They're trying to get you into a war with Russia.

00:14:17.000 Be disobedient now.

00:14:19.000 Against this backdrop, the flu surge feels almost symbolic as if the boundary between past and present is collapsing.

00:14:25.000 Yeah, it does feel like that, doesn't it?

00:14:26.000 Like time itself is speeding up because the communication of information is so rapid.

00:14:30.000 Think about it, at the advent of the Gutenberg Press, the world changed so rapidly.

00:14:33.000 People had access to example to scripture in a variety of languages.

00:14:36.000 It changed people's relationships with institutional religion.

00:14:39.000 Now, everyone's talking all the time.

00:14:41.000 That doesn't mean there's a lot of nonsense that gets said.

00:14:43.000 Some of the stuff I say, of course, necessarily is nonsense.

00:14:46.000 I'm wrong a bunch.

00:14:47.000 But you can now aggregate information yourself.

00:14:51.000 Take a little bit from over here, take a bit from over here.

00:14:53.000 And as long as the results are, don't ever trust the media, don't ever trust the government, you won't go far wrong.

00:14:58.000 During COVID, flu all but vanished.

00:15:00.000 Do you remember that?

00:15:01.000 Do you remember that they stopped talking about flu?

00:15:03.000 Because they were using flu statistically to bolster the COVID numbers.

00:15:07.000 It was overwhelmed and displaced by a single overwhelming diagnosis.

00:15:12.000 Now, COVID has slipped into the background while flu resurges.

00:15:16.000 They don't believe in COVID anymore, but they might believe in new super flu.

00:15:20.000 Yes, let's try that.

00:15:22.000 Have they traded places depending on what served institutional interests at the time?

00:15:26.000 Or were the categories always more fluid than officials admitted?

00:15:30.000 It can only be one.

00:15:31.000 When systems encourage political outcomes rather than clinical clarity, even basic epidemiology becomes a shadow play, doesn't it?

00:15:38.000 That's what's happening.

00:15:39.000 We can't make this content without the support of our partners.

00:15:41.000 Here's a message from one right now.

00:16:36.000 Here's Scott Gottlieb, but you could just call him Scott Lieb, save yourself a syllable.

00:16:40.000 A man who looks like a little boy out of the monsters and talks like a person who worked at the FDA only to go and get a job at Pfizer because that's what he is.

00:16:50.000 They're systematically trying to dismantle components of the vaccine approval process and make sure vaccines won't be available.

00:16:56.000 That's in fact what the memo was Friday, and they did it under the pretext of these tragic deaths, which I think is really inappropriate.

00:17:03.000 We use tragic deaths, not you.

00:17:05.000 Tragic deaths, right?

00:17:06.000 Do you remember when people would die during COVID and didn't have a vaccine? 0.99

00:17:10.000 They would almost like to drag the corpse out of the coffin and fuck it on the desk of the news. 0.99

00:17:16.000 Now, don't you misuse these tragic deaths. 0.99

00:17:19.000 We're the ones that misuse tragic deaths.

00:17:22.000 What are you going to use the next?

00:17:24.000 The tragic death of Jesus Christ to say that death can be conquered if you obey certain edicts and laws.

00:17:30.000 Oh, well, don't, because that's what we do.

00:17:33.000 These deaths and children, if they think there's a causal relationship between the COVID vaccine and those children's deaths, that warrants exhaustive investigation.

00:17:41.000 What about what Scott Gottlieb does when he's not on the news telling you to take vaccines?

00:17:45.000 He's a board member of Pfizer.

00:17:47.000 Good.

00:17:47.000 Okay, so let's just watch a bit more.

00:17:49.000 But they tried to slip in in announcing that their readjudication of that data, which had previously been reviewed very exhaustively by the FDA, they tried to slip in this wholesale remaking of the vaccine approval process for vaccines that have nothing to do with the COVID vaccine.

00:18:03.000 So what do you do in your spare time?

00:18:05.000 Okay, fair enough.

00:18:06.000 Yeah, I'm just going to keep using that for context.

00:18:08.000 Remember, we even approved the HPV vaccine, which is on the cusp of ending cervical cancer on the basis of these immunobridging studies.

00:18:15.000 This has been an important tool for FDA to get new vaccines on the market.

00:18:20.000 I think what they want is no new vaccines on the market.

00:18:22.000 And look, there's some people, I will give them credit, who have been very honest about that.

00:18:26.000 I think the Secretary Kennedy has been very honest about his intentions.

00:18:30.000 I think Prasad, not so much, in implementing these policies, hasn't been transparent about the eventual goal of what he's trying to achieve here.

00:18:38.000 But we're at a point right now where there's been such degradation at the FDA.

00:18:43.000 I really worry the wheels are coming off that agency at a real critical time in the biotechnology industry.

00:18:48.000 Look, the tariffs have been settled.

00:18:50.000 Companies, big pharma companies now have visibility on their cash flows.

00:18:54.000 They're getting back into doing MA.

00:18:55.000 That's putting a bid under the market.

00:18:57.000 You're seeing the IPO market for biotechnology stocks reopen.

00:19:00.000 You're seeing really stunning data readouts.

00:19:03.000 And so this is really a renaissance period in biotechnology at a point in which we're trying to compete with China, which is really surging their investments in life sciences.

00:19:12.000 And now you have a deliberate effort to degrade the agency.

00:19:16.000 And there's been a lot of departures from that vaccine review division.

00:19:18.000 There's going to be even more.

00:19:20.000 They're going to be at a point where they can announce these policies and there's literally going to be no one left to implement them at the agency.

00:19:25.000 Meanwhile, Big Pharma is not retreating.

00:19:27.000 Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who now works for where does he work?

00:19:31.000 Oh, what it was was when he left the FDA, the regulatory body that governs Big Pharma, he went, from now on, I just want to make sure that, you know, children everywhere are helped.

00:19:40.000 So I'm going to do this charity work at schools, man.

00:19:43.000 I'm going to dedicate all my time to making sure that children with conditions like eczema or asthma or nah, not really.

00:19:50.000 He's working for Pfizer.

00:19:51.000 Is already pushing back against reports linking vaccines to child deaths, claiming instead that the FDA is undermining critical components of the vaccine approval system.

00:20:00.000 The conflict of interest is staggering.

00:20:03.000 The defensiveness is yet more so.

00:20:06.000 Taken together, these disclosures paint a picture far darker than incompetence.

00:20:09.000 They suggest a pandemic response shaped by political pressure, undisclosed financial entanglements, strategic suppression of ethical concerns, and a media ecosystem that only now dares to admit what it once helped obscure.

00:20:22.000 The timing's no coincidence.

00:20:24.000 As public trust erodes, these revelations feel less like transparency and more like preemptive damage control.

00:20:29.000 What was once dismissed as fringe concern is now breaking into mainstream coverage, not because institutions have grown more honest, but because the truth can no longer be fully contained.

00:20:38.000 Let me know what you think about that in the comment and chat.

00:20:40.000 The public was told to trust the science, yet the science was shaped by incentives they were never allowed to see.

00:20:45.000 They were told decisions were guided by ethics, yet the ethics advisors were silenced when the confusions became inconvenient.

00:20:51.000 And the people offering the recommendation had financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

00:20:56.000 I'll tell you now, I'm following the science right now.

00:20:59.000 Here's what I'm scientifically deducing.

00:21:01.000 Corruption, hypocrisy, lies, conclusion, revolution.

00:21:06.000 Do you remember at school when you had to do science?

00:21:07.000 You have to go method, aim, all that, we had to write down the little things.

00:21:11.000 Well, plainly now, we are at peak corruption.

00:21:14.000 Now, Britain is repeating old patterns at the very time where the public is waking up to how deeply those patterns were manipulated.

00:21:20.000 Schools are closing again.

00:21:21.000 Mask mandates are creeping back.

00:21:23.000 And the institutions that shaped the last crisis are being exposed for suppressing critical information when it mattered most.

00:21:29.000 Ho, Remember 2020, Christmas time, mistletoe and wine.

00:21:34.000 Let's have a look at what happened in our country, the UK, in Christmas 2020.

00:21:38.000 This is your old friends, the BBC.

00:21:41.000 Dramatic change of policy.

00:21:42.000 Millions of people across England have been placed under stringent new coronavirus restrictions for the festive season.

00:21:49.000 Boris Johnson made the announcement today after scientists said a mutation scientist scientists said a mutation of COVID-19 was spreading rapidly.

00:21:59.000 Yeah, it's mutated, bloody thing.

00:22:01.000 It's like a film where there's a mutation like that.

00:22:04.000 X-Men.

00:22:04.000 Sex men code in London, the southeast and east of England.

00:22:08.000 The variant is said to be much more contagious, but doesn't cause more.

00:22:12.000 Look how he's talking to you.

00:22:14.000 Look at how he's talking to you.

00:22:15.000 For a minute, just watch and look at the tone.

00:22:18.000 Listen, I'm not blaming the individual gentleman.

00:22:20.000 I'm sure he's a delight.

00:22:21.000 Although we have learned that, for example, Hugh Edwards, a very prominent BBC news broadcaster, has, I think, recently been convicted of pedophilia.

00:22:30.000 But don't let that bother you.

00:22:33.000 Doesn't cause more serious illness.

00:22:35.000 Wales and Scotland tonight have also tightened their coronavirus rules.

00:22:39.000 But the BBC hasn't tightened its pedophilia rules.

00:22:42.000 We keep having a mysteriously high number of paedophiles working for us.

00:22:45.000 From midnight tonight, new tier 4 restrictions come into force.

00:22:49.000 What they need is tiers for paedophiles working for them.

00:22:52.000 Like, right, we're allowed this many paedophiles.

00:22:54.000 Could we just have a couple more paedophiles? 1.00

00:22:56.000 No, that's the absolute maximum. 0.97

00:22:58.000 Maybe in some of your local news offices, you can sneak in a few extra paedophiles. 1.00

00:23:02.000 In London, the southeast and east of England, more than 17 million people are affected.

00:23:08.000 The public is being asked to stay at home and there will be no so-called Christmas bubbles for gatherings.

00:23:14.000 Have you forgotten how mad it was?

00:23:15.000 There will be no Christmas bubbles for gathering. 1.00

00:23:18.000 What the fuck are you talking about? 1.00

00:23:20.000 Who are you? 1.00

00:23:21.000 Who are you all?

00:23:22.000 Well, you're going to have to be in a Christmas bubble.

00:23:24.000 Well, what?

00:23:25.000 Hold up.

00:23:25.000 What's Christmas about?

00:23:26.000 Oh, well, what it was was, God came to earth in the form of a baby through the Immaculate Conception to prove that here on the carnal plane, you can achieve divinity and operate on the level of universal good.

00:23:42.000 Thanks.

00:23:43.000 So what do you want us to do?

00:23:44.000 Get in a Christmas bubble.

00:23:47.000 Whoa.

00:23:47.000 And a lot of these people won't believe in that.

00:23:49.000 A lot of them will go, you can't believe in Jesus, that's made up. 1.00

00:23:51.000 Now get in your fucking Christmas bubble. 0.98

00:23:53.000 Listen, if we're making stuff up, how about we make up something that empowers us, that believes that you are beautiful, that you're vital, that there are things that are more important than the appeasement and appeal of the senses, that there is glory. 1.00

00:24:07.000 That all sounds good, but it might burst your Christmas bubble.

00:24:10.000 Get-togethers will be restricted to meeting one other person in an open public space.

00:24:15.000 That is the level of control that they're aiming at.

00:24:18.000 It's brilliant to watch this again.

00:24:19.000 It's brilliant.

00:24:20.000 You can meet one person in a public place.

00:24:23.000 All they have to do now, now they've established some principles.

00:24:26.000 Now all they have to do is convince you that the conditions exist that legitimize it, i.e. a war with Russia, some sort of terrible financial crash.

00:24:35.000 I don't know.

00:24:36.000 My imagination is not as dark as theirs, and I've got a pretty dark imagination, baby.

00:24:40.000 They'll think of something that legitimizes this happening again.

00:24:44.000 That's what they'll do.

00:24:44.000 They'll just keep thinking of it.

00:24:46.000 Right, you've got to get in your Christmas bubble.

00:24:48.000 Get in your Easter cube.

00:24:50.000 Get in your Pentecost triangle.

00:24:53.000 Get into your satanic worship.

00:24:55.000 State-funded, evil, nefarious systems.

00:24:59.000 Put your hand up like this.

00:25:00.000 Bow down at the altar of Moloch.

00:25:02.000 Merry, Merry Satan must.

00:25:04.000 Shops will close, as well as gyms, beauty salons, and hairdressers.

00:25:08.000 Who decides what's non-essential business?

00:25:10.000 Who decides?

00:25:11.000 For those living in tiers one to three in England.

00:25:14.000 See, bureaucracy.

00:25:15.000 It's beautiful.

00:25:16.000 They bureaucratized everything.

00:25:18.000 Look at that coronavirus in the corner like a little sunshine.

00:25:20.000 Look at that bit in the corner, not the corner of the square, the outer periphery of the circumference there, like a little bowling ball.

00:25:27.000 That's the spy protein.

00:25:29.000 The virus itself was a construct.

00:25:31.000 The pandemic response was a construct.

00:25:34.000 The reporting on it was a construct.

00:25:36.000 The measures undertaken were a construct.

00:25:38.000 You're living in a counterfeit reality.

00:25:41.000 And the very people that tell you that Christ ain't real and it's a fairy story for children will tell you that it's time to get in your Christmas bubble and bow down at the altar of their peculiar bureaucracies.

00:25:53.000 Do you detect the hypocrisy?

00:25:55.000 Do you see that what they're creating is an illusory reality for you to inhabit?

00:25:59.000 Christmas bubble gatherings can only take place on Christmas Day.

00:26:04.000 They're trying to normalize the phrase Christmas bubbles.

00:26:06.000 Christmas plans have to be dropped and a third of the population is back under limited lockdown in less than two hours.

00:26:13.000 Look at the level of concern and consternation that went into this period.

00:26:18.000 Look at how they're talking.

00:26:19.000 Now think about you.

00:26:20.000 You're a person.

00:26:21.000 You live in the UK, right?

00:26:22.000 Or wherever you live.

00:26:23.000 How many people do you know that died of flat out COVID that wasn't either comorbid, like super obese, heart conditioned, or extremely old?

00:26:33.000 We know in retrospect that excess deaths have increased in the subsequent period.

00:26:39.000 More people are dying now than died during COVID.

00:26:43.000 That whole time was full of deception and lies.

00:26:47.000 You can prove it if you pay attention.

00:26:49.000 Their primary technique to prevent you from making these realizations is to distract you and bombard you and bedazzle you continually.

00:26:57.000 You are overstimulated.

00:26:58.000 All they have to do to prevent you from awakening up to the revolutionary state that this would induce in the sanest, most rational person is bewilder and distract you the whole time.

00:27:08.000 You'd be able to say, look, I know all these people that died from COVID.

00:27:11.000 Now, I know there's that wall opposite peculiarly, the houses of parliament, where there's always this spontaneous tribute to those that died of COVID.

00:27:20.000 A graffiti wall of hearts for every person.

00:27:23.000 Like, if you go through and investigate it, go through every single one.

00:27:27.000 And say, right, well, that person, how old were they?

00:27:29.000 Did they have any other conditions?

00:27:30.000 Right.

00:27:31.000 And then ask yourself this.

00:27:32.000 Is it worth giving up your freedom for?

00:27:34.000 Is it worth giving up your freedom?

00:27:36.000 What's a war?

00:27:36.000 I mean, they're about to conscript you in the UK for a war against Russia.

00:27:39.000 What are they going to say to you then?

00:27:40.000 What are they going to say to you?

00:27:41.000 Right, we're going to have a war with Russia. 0.89

00:27:42.000 Okay.

00:27:43.000 Well, why?

00:27:44.000 Who benefits?

00:27:45.000 Loads of questions, but okay, we're having a war with Russia.

00:27:47.000 What do you want us to do again?

00:27:48.000 What is it?

00:27:49.000 We want you to go on, keep talking, sign up for, yeah, the army and what might happen, fight, and what might happen in the fight, death.

00:27:56.000 And why?

00:27:57.000 Because there's something more important than life.

00:28:01.000 And who decides what that is?

00:28:03.000 We do.

00:28:03.000 Hmm.

00:28:04.000 Interesting.

00:28:06.000 It is with a very heavy heart, I must tell you. 1.00

00:28:08.000 Your heart's probably heavy because you've got myocarditis because you kept getting those fucking vaccines, you moron. 1.00

00:28:13.000 We cannot continue with Christmas as planned. 1.00

00:28:17.000 In England, those living in tier four areas should not mix with anyone outside their own household at Christmas. 1.00

00:28:25.000 Their own household?

00:28:26.000 Members of the actual government were having affairs with people from other households. 0.94

00:28:30.000 They were putting their genitals in other people's bodies. 1.00

00:28:34.000 That's minus distance.

00:28:36.000 Though support bubbles will remain in place.

00:28:39.000 Do you see how the language of emojis has invaded ordinary discourse?

00:28:45.000 Hands, face, space, repeat after me.

00:28:48.000 Hands, face, space, repeat after me.

00:28:51.000 Into the internment camp.

00:28:52.000 Clap along.

00:28:54.000 Here's your digital ID.

00:28:55.000 Eventually, they'll coach you into such rhythmic childishness, such a facsimile of innocence that you won't be able to think or identify reality.

00:29:04.000 Look at the traffic lights.

00:29:05.000 If it's red, stay inside.

00:29:07.000 If it's amber, you can look out your window. 0.97

00:29:09.000 If it's green, we're coming to your house to castrate you.

00:29:13.000 For those at particular risk of loneliness or isolation. 0.73

00:29:16.000 Everyone's at risk of loneliness and isolation.

00:29:20.000 That's what a human being is.

00:29:22.000 You are at risk of loneliness and isolation because you're in infinite space and you're being governed by the devil.

00:29:30.000 We have a particularly fast-moving Sir Patrick Vance.

00:29:34.000 How'd you get that knighthood, mate?

00:29:36.000 Who give you that knighthood?

00:29:38.000 Problem with increased numbers in the area going to tier four, but a generalised increase across the country.

00:29:45.000 The sort of combination of Boris Johnson's entitled certainty and the kind of rational academic confidence of that fella.

00:29:54.000 We're getting tier four.

00:29:55.000 It's all made up.

00:29:57.000 It's all made up.

00:29:58.000 None of it was real.

00:30:00.000 It was a pack of lies.

00:30:01.000 Oh, yeah, but didn't they do an inquiry?

00:30:02.000 Yeah.

00:30:03.000 In the inquiry, did they ask questions about Rishi Sunak's relationship with Moderna?

00:30:06.000 Did they ask questions about Moderna's new subsequent vaccine contracts?

00:30:10.000 Did they ask any questions about the inception, conception and manufacture of the virus itself?

00:30:14.000 Did they ask questions about the way that deaths were logged and registered?

00:30:18.000 Where's the data?

00:30:19.000 In our conversation with Dr. John Campbell, he revealed that the UK government are refusing to release the statistics about the number of people that have died from vaccine injury.

00:30:27.000 Why?

00:30:27.000 To protect you.

00:30:28.000 It's to protect you because of your anonymity.

00:30:31.000 Oh, you're still helping me.

00:30:33.000 Wow, you guys are going to help us right the way into the prison and right the way into the grave, aren't you?

00:30:39.000 On Wednesday, you told me and our viewers it would be inhuman to change the plans.

00:30:44.000 And now that's exactly what you've done.

00:30:46.000 Aren't the millions of people whose plans have just been torn up entitled to feel that you just left this too late?

00:30:52.000 We, of course, bitterly regret the...

00:30:56.000 What about this?

00:30:57.000 Listen, I've got an update for you.

00:30:59.000 I'm the news now.

00:31:01.000 Don't listen to them.

00:31:02.000 Don't trust them.

00:31:03.000 And don't do what they tell you.

00:31:05.000 And wait for the opportunity for that to happen.

00:31:07.000 And make sure you're ready for that.

00:31:08.000 Just make sure that when they tell you stuff, just go, I'm not doing that.

00:31:11.000 I'm not doing that.

00:31:12.000 I'm not going to comply.

00:31:14.000 You aren't in control of me.

00:31:15.000 I have a direct relationship with God.

00:31:17.000 I am matter infused by spirit somehow.

00:31:20.000 Somehow, I can, through my thoughts, control my cortex and my anatomy.

00:31:25.000 And maybe one day we will be able to control more than that.

00:31:28.000 I believe in glory.

00:31:30.000 I believe in God.

00:31:31.000 I believe in the resurrection of Christ Jesus. 0.99

00:31:33.000 So if you want me to do something, you're going to have to kill me. 0.95

00:31:37.000 Are you all right with that? 0.99

00:31:38.000 Because I am.

00:31:40.000 Here's the weather.

00:31:41.000 The changes that are necessary, but alas, when the facts change, you have to change your approach.

00:31:48.000 Hey, if you're watching this on YouTube, we're just going to be with you for a few more seconds.

00:31:51.000 Click the link in the description.

00:31:53.000 Get on over and enjoy the next story.

00:31:55.000 We're talking about Ukraine.

00:31:56.000 We're talking about Elon.

00:31:57.000 We're talking about COVID.

00:31:58.000 It's brilliant.

00:31:59.000 It's revelatory.

00:31:59.000 It's magnificent.

00:32:01.000 Get off that globalist scam and into the sweet arms of Rumble, baby.

00:32:05.000 Professor Whitty, if someone is packing a bag right now, listening to or watching this, trying to leave the Southeast by midnight tonight, what should they do?

00:32:14.000 My short answer would be, please unpack it at this stage.

00:32:18.000 They're telling you what to do in your house.

00:32:21.000 In your actual house.

00:32:22.000 Right, unpack the bag.

00:32:23.000 Not that.

00:32:24.000 Now put your makeup bag back by the sink. 0.84

00:32:26.000 What's that?

00:32:26.000 If you've got enough socks, about those underpants, smell the gusset.

00:32:30.000 How much control do you want?

00:32:31.000 Pull the skin back.

00:32:32.000 Stop trying to control us.

00:32:34.000 Chris Whitty is working for a pharma company right now. 0.98

00:32:37.000 Crude liars. 1.00

00:32:38.000 They're all liars. 1.00

00:32:39.000 Here's the spectrum they exist on. 1.00

00:32:43.000 Corrupt to evil. 0.57

00:32:44.000 That's it. 0.97

00:32:45.000 Corrupt to evil.

00:32:46.000 So all you're trying to identify is corrupt or evil. 1.00

00:32:51.000 Or stupid. 1.00

00:32:52.000 There's also stupid. 1.00

00:32:54.000 If 2025 feels like a rerun of 2020, because they ain't got any, it's like movies, innit? 0.99

00:32:58.000 They've got no original ideas.

00:32:59.000 They're just rerunning old ones.

00:33:01.000 Who was it that started that remake of Douglas Moore's Arthur?

00:33:04.000 Questions from that year never went away.

00:33:06.000 And now, as the country inches back towards the language of restrictions, the question hangs ominously in the air.

00:33:11.000 If another crisis emerges, will the same machinery activate itself again quietly, automatically, and without the transparency that was promised?

00:33:19.000 Because if the last few weeks have shown us anything, is that the truth was not just delayed, it was buried.

00:33:24.000 And those who buried it are still holding the shovels.

00:33:28.000 But that's just what I think.

00:33:29.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.

00:33:33.000 Who do you trust more?

00:33:35.000 X or EU?

00:33:37.000 Probably X, because anyone can say what they want on X, right?

00:33:43.000 Welcome back, Squat Box this morning.

00:33:44.000 Is this show called Squat Box?

00:33:46.000 Is that what he said?

00:33:47.000 Welcome to Squatbox.

00:33:48.000 Squat over this. 1.00

00:33:49.000 I shit it out into your mouths. 1.00

00:33:50.000 Just eat it. 1.00

00:33:51.000 Just eat my squats.

00:33:53.000 Squatbox.

00:33:54.000 Well, squatbox.

00:33:55.000 Oh, God.

00:33:55.000 Oh, it's coming.

00:33:56.000 Oh, no.

00:33:56.000 I've lost control of it.

00:33:57.000 Elon Musk calling for the European Union to be abolished.

00:34:00.000 This after the block fines of social media company X, $140 million.

00:34:05.000 That followed Friday's decision by the European Commission. 1.00

00:34:08.000 Welcome, fuck, pig. 1.00

00:34:09.000 What are these new shows called Squat Box? 1.00

00:34:11.000 Fuck pick. 1.00

00:34:12.000 Welcome to shit mouth. 1.00

00:34:14.000 To hit X with the fine after a two-year investigation into the company under the EU's Digital Services Act. 0.98

00:34:20.000 Now, last week, the European Commission had said that infractions by X, which included what it called the deceptive design of X's blue check mark for verification.

00:34:29.000 Look, whether you like Elon Musk or not, I can tell you that how this process will have worked is something along these lines. 0.96

00:34:35.000 Shit, we're not in control of X. 0.98

00:34:38.000 We need to find a way to control X. 0.98

00:34:41.000 Okay, well, what can we possibly say is distinctly and uniquely wrong with X that wouldn't apply to Facebook or Instagram or YouTube or more favorable social media sites that we already have the leverage over and control that we require.

00:34:54.000 Oh, the ticks aren't good.

00:34:57.000 Yeah, start there.

00:34:58.000 A lack of advertising transparency and they say the failure to provide access to public data for researchers.

00:35:04.000 Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling the fine an attack by foreign governments on all American tech platforms.

00:35:11.000 So we'll see whether there is backlash from the US government about that.

00:35:15.000 Well, I sincerely hope so.

00:35:17.000 Our message was clear.

00:35:19.000 We have the rules which have to be complied with.

00:35:23.000 See, that's the tone that you need to be scared of.

00:35:25.000 That's the tone.

00:35:26.000 Don't be frightened so much of bombast, hyperbole, or even excessively enthusiastic people, like me, for example.

00:35:35.000 No, you need to be frightened of people like that.

00:35:38.000 And fully, it's just rules.

00:35:40.000 These are the people that will march you merrily into the internment camps, concentration camps and death chambers.

00:35:47.000 These are the people that will demand you put it's only the size of the grain of rice just underneath your skin.

00:35:53.000 It's only one of your children. 0.96

00:35:56.000 It's only sexual slavery. 1.00

00:35:58.000 These are the people that will justify and rationalise anything.

00:36:01.000 Listen carefully to the tone.

00:36:02.000 And otherwise there will be sanctions.

00:36:09.000 An EU Commissioner for Values and Transparency.

00:36:12.000 Why do you need one?

00:36:17.000 I think that the confidence has been weakened.

00:36:22.000 And I had quite a high level of confidence when it comes to Twitter.

00:36:26.000 I have to say that we worked with knowledgeable people.

00:36:29.000 I bet you did.

00:36:30.000 I bet you did.

00:36:31.000 We remember that when people got inside Twitter via Musk, journalists like Matt, you know, you remember all the journalists.

00:36:39.000 Anyway, like, you remember them.

00:36:41.000 They revealed the depths that deep state departments within the United States have been involved with managing and censoring information, and presumably that wasn't unique to the USA.

00:36:51.000 With the lawyers, with sociologists who understood that they have to behave in some decent way, not to cause really big harm to the society.

00:37:05.000 I always felt that this notion of responsibility was there.

00:37:10.000 So this is what I don't feel from Elon Musk personally.

00:37:15.000 As the European Union moves to fine X 120 million Euros, which isn't real money, under the guise of transparency, is Elon Musk correct in suggesting that the EU should be dismantled?

00:37:26.000 And do familiar foes such as Hillary Clinton link the censorship industrial complex on either side of the Atlantic? 0.97

00:37:34.000 Clinton and the EU, there's something for everyone.

00:37:37.000 Can we involve the Jews? 0.96

00:37:39.000 They'll find a way.

00:37:40.000 Hey! 0.99

00:37:41.000 The European Commission's decision to fine X 120 million Euros is officially a matter of transparency, at least that's the claim.

00:37:47.000 Yet the deeper one looks, the harder it becomes to ignore that this is less about consumer protection and more about disciplining a platform that refuses to fit into Europe's preferred structure of public communication.

00:37:58.000 The Commission insists that none of this involves censorship, but when regulations target visibility, verification, access to data, and government-aligned researchers, the line between transparency and speech control begins to blur.

00:38:10.000 The Digital Services Act is built around a model in which regulators and government-affiliated groups determine which information poses a systemic risk.

00:38:19.000 They then pressure platforms to treat the material as dangerous.

00:38:22.000 In practice, it creates a hierarchy of voices.

00:38:25.000 Under the older Twitter model, verification was a selective privilege often granted through opaque internal decisions or expensive advertising commitments.

00:38:33.000 Elon Musk's decision to make verification accessible to anyone disrupted that hierarchy.

00:38:38.000 The Commission now describes this shift as deceptive, but the truth is that it undermined the old media and political order that relied on verification as a badge of institutional authority.

00:38:48.000 Indeed, sigils, signs and emblems of power are precisely what's under threat right now.

00:38:54.000 Does anyone believe in the BBC anymore?

00:38:57.000 Does anyone trust the Conservative Party or the Labour Party or even the Republican Party or the Democrat Party?

00:39:04.000 Do you trust these brands anymore?

00:39:07.000 Hey, there's only one brand you can trust, baby, and you're listening to him right now.

00:39:12.000 And why can you trust me?

00:39:13.000 Because I recognise my own brokenness.

00:39:15.000 I recognise that I'm nothing if not a conduit for the higher truth of Christ Jesus, that you can get that more directly from the Bible and you'll ultimately receive it within yourself.

00:39:23.000 And you don't need anybody else, but you do need everybody else in order to receive it.

00:39:28.000 That's why you can trust me, because I'm explicitly telling you I'm flawed and broken.

00:39:33.000 What they're telling you is that they're reliable.

00:39:35.000 And when they can't persuade you that they're reliable, they will control you.

00:39:40.000 And when they can't control you anymore through direct violence, they'll control you through an environment of continual crisis so that violence seems favorable and you're in such a fierce state induced by overstimulation that you can't think straight no more.

00:39:53.000 Check out this beautiful experiment.

00:39:55.000 There was an experiment where two groups of dogs were held in electrified cages.

00:40:01.000 Let's call them group A and group B, both with five or six dogs in them.

00:40:05.000 Group A had access to a lever that meant they could turn off the electrical current that was running through the floor of their cage.

00:40:12.000 Group B did not have access to a lever.

00:40:14.000 In the end, Group B just lied down and took the shocks of stimulation.

00:40:18.000 The next phase of the experiment, always trust the science, follow the science, is both sets of dogs were placed into cage C.

00:40:25.000 They were subject to electric shocks in that cage, all of the dogs.

00:40:31.000 Now, here was the difference.

00:40:33.000 The cage in the second experiment was only a foot and a half high, and if the dogs wanted to, they could jump out.

00:40:39.000 They could get out of the cage if they wanted to.

00:40:41.000 Group A, that had in the previous cage had access to a lever, all got up and jumped out.

00:40:46.000 Group B, that had never had access to a lever, all just laid down and accepted it.

00:40:50.000 Remember that ultimately all of the information you receive is understood ultimately by you as an electromagnetic signal neurologically.

00:40:59.000 Even this voice now, which is vibration coming in through your ears or the light information that you're receiving through your eyes, is being received electromagnetically neurologically.

00:41:08.000 We are all in a cage where we're being, if not shocked, stimulated.

00:41:13.000 Occasionally you are shocked, but mostly you're in a state of continual stimulation.

00:41:17.000 Add to that that you're eating bad food, you're receiving deceptive information, you're being lied to and controlled continually.

00:41:23.000 The puppy analogy rings terrifyingly true.

00:41:26.000 Some of us have been given access to levers in the past, so we know there's a way out.

00:41:32.000 Other people don't believe there's a way out, so they're lying down and taking it.

00:41:36.000 What I'm telling you, all of you, whether you're in group A or group B, whether you believe it's possible to transcend, to escape, to reach the kingdom, or if you think there's no point, there ain't no point.

00:41:47.000 I'm not just lay down and take the thousand shocks that flesh is heir to, to quote Shakespeare. 0.72

00:41:53.000 The truth is that freedom is possible.

00:41:55.000 But in order to do that, you have to first survive, then escape, then control, then submit.

00:42:00.000 Those are the rules of jiu-jitsu, and those are the rules of life.

00:42:03.000 But that's just what I think.

00:42:04.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

00:42:06.000 You live in a state of continual stimulation, a system that controls the electromagnetic impulses within your body.

00:42:12.000 Your body is a field, not an object.

00:42:15.000 You're not a blob.

00:42:16.000 Your material body is held in a field.

00:42:19.000 How else could it be?

00:42:20.000 How is it that cells know whether they're dental or oral?

00:42:24.000 How is it they know whether they're skeletal or cardiovascular?

00:42:28.000 The cells in your body are guided by a field.

00:42:31.000 All of the information within the cells is activated by an ulterior, evident, present, but less easy to observe set of information that's part of a greater whole.

00:42:41.000 Hey, complicated stuff, but what do you want to do? 0.96

00:42:42.000 Just sit around masturbating? 0.99

00:42:45.000 You can do that also. 0.99

00:42:46.000 It's not an either-or situation.

00:42:48.000 The rhetoric of transparency also masks how the DSA empowers government-selected researchers to access platform data for monitoring speech trends.

00:42:56.000 Many of these groups have previously collaborated with NGOs and law enforcement to flag political content for moderation.

00:43:03.000 This kind of stuff was happening to us all the time during the pandemic.

00:43:07.000 The Commission frames this as neutral oversight.

00:43:10.000 There's no such thing as neutral.

00:43:12.000 Musk frames it as feeding a censorship machine.

00:43:15.000 In either case, once governments decide who qualifies as a researcher and which post-war investigation, censorship no longer needs to be explicit.

00:43:22.000 It settles in quietly through data access requirements, compliance expectations, and the constant threat of fines.

00:43:28.000 They are geniuses.

00:43:29.000 It's no coincidence that the great Christian theologian C.S. Lewis, when depicting demonism, depicts them as within a bureaucracy.

00:43:37.000 You can't be evil if you tell people you're being evil.

00:43:40.000 You have to tell them you're helping them.

00:43:43.000 This is happening at the same time that European political leaders are pursuing more overt forms of speech regulation.

00:43:49.000 Emmanuel Marcon has called for a system that would create an officially certified class of media outlets.

00:43:56.000 The French state would effectively define which journalists count as legitimate and which do not. 0.99

00:44:01.000 I wonder if he's willing to do that with vaginas. 1.00

00:44:03.000 In Germany, Friedrich Merse has filed hundreds of criminal complaints over online insults. 0.99

00:44:09.000 Some cases have even led to home searches and phone seizures.

00:44:13.000 Germany already enforces some of the strictest online speech laws in Europe, and the idea that calling a politician a fool might trigger criminal procedure reveals how low the threshold for state involvement has become.

00:44:25.000 That's clear.

00:44:26.000 Is it a crime to insult somebody in public?

00:44:30.000 Yes.

00:44:30.000 Yes, it is.

00:44:31.000 And it's a crime to insult them online as well.

00:44:34.000 Yes.

00:44:34.000 The fine could be even higher if you insult someone in the internet.

00:44:40.000 Why?

00:44:40.000 Because in the internet, it stays there.

00:44:43.000 If we are talking here face-to-face, you insult me, I insult you, okay, finish.

00:44:48.000 But if you're in the internet, if I insult you or a politician...

00:44:51.000 That sticks around forever.

00:44:52.000 Yeah.

00:44:53.000 If somebody posts something that's not true and then somebody else reposts it or likes it, are they committing a crime?

00:45:01.000 In the case of reposting, it is a crime as well because the reader can't distinguish whether you just invented this or just reposted it.

00:45:10.000 That's the same for us.

00:45:11.000 The punishment for breaking hate speech laws can include jail time for repeat offenders.

00:45:17.000 But in most cases, a judge levies a stiff fine and sometimes keeps their devices.

00:45:23.000 How do people react when you take their phones from them?

00:45:26.000 They are shocked.

00:45:29.000 It's 6:01 on a Tuesday morning, and we were with state police as they raided this apartment in northwest Germany.

00:45:40.000 Inside, six armed officers searched a suspect's home, then seized his laptop and cell phone.

00:45:47.000 Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime.

00:45:53.000 The crime posting a racist cartoon online.

00:45:58.000 At the exact same time across Germany, more than 50 similar raids played out.

00:46:06.000 Part of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech in Germany.

00:46:12.000 What is this, Victoria Britain?

00:46:14.000 You, sir, are Repscallion! 0.97

00:46:18.000 Would you mind coming with me, please?

00:46:19.000 I'm going to have to take you to further processing.

00:46:22.000 Well, no, sir, you're a cat, a bounder, a mountebunk.

00:46:28.000 There should be a lot of things done.

00:46:30.000 We should be, in my view, repealing something called Section 230, which gave platforms on the internet immunity because they were thought to be just pass-throughs, that they shouldn't be judged for the content that is posted.

00:46:45.000 But we now know that that was an overly simple view, that if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control.

00:47:02.000 Across the whole Atlantic here in the U.S. of statesland, familiar voices are cheering Europe on.

00:47:08.000 Guess who?

00:47:08.000 Hillary Clinton has praised the Digital Services Act as a necessary tool for confronting what she describes as disinformation and extremism.

00:47:17.000 She's argued that platforms should be more accountable for the content they allow and has expressed concern over how young people are forming views on issues such as Israel and Palestine.

00:47:26.000 That our students, smart, well-educated young people from our own country, from around the world, where were they getting their information?

00:47:36.000 They were getting their information from social media, particularly TikTok.

00:47:42.000 That is where they were learning about what happened on October 7th, what happened in the days, weeks, and months to follow.

00:47:51.000 That's a serious problem.

00:47:53.000 It's a serious problem for democracy, whether it's Israel or the United States, and it's a serious problem for our young people.

00:48:00.000 And it was frankly shocking to me how little the students we were encountering, not only in this class we teach, which is a very large class, international relations about crisis decision-making, but students more generally.

00:48:15.000 And that's why I mentioned the social media piece of it, because when you would try to talk to them to engage in some kind of reasonable discussion, it was very difficult because they did not know history, they had very little context, and what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided, it was pure propaganda.

00:48:39.000 And so when you think about how to tell Israel's story, and it's important, it's not just looking internally, it's looking externally, and particularly looking at young people, because, you know, it's not just the usual suspects, it is a lot of young Jewish Americans who don't know the history and don't understand.

00:49:03.000 Eric, I was talking to Condi Rice, and she said in an interview that I did after the 20-point plan came out, she and I were on CBS, and she said, you know, when people were chanting from the river to the sea, she would ask the students what river, what sea they didn't know.

00:49:23.000 I had the same experience.

00:49:25.000 A lot of the challenge is with younger people.

00:49:29.000 More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media.

00:49:38.000 So just pause on that for a second.

00:49:41.000 They are seeing short-form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that's where they get their information.

00:49:56.000 Her comments align closely with the broader censorship model that's developed in the United States and our country up, oh no, the UK, where government agencies, academic institutions, and large NGOs operate as a kind of distributed authority over digital discourse.

00:50:11.000 And I think the dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing.

00:50:19.000 And it's part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue.

00:50:27.000 It's really hard to govern today.

00:50:30.000 You can't, you know, there's no, the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact have kind of been eviscerated to a certain degree.

00:50:40.000 And people go and people self-select where they go for their news or for their information.

00:50:47.000 And then you just get into a vicious cycle.

00:50:49.000 So it's really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45, 50 years I've been involved in this.

00:50:58.000 And, you know, there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have some accountability on facts, et cetera.

00:51:11.000 But look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick and has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just hammer it out of existence.

00:51:29.000 So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully having, you know, winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change.

00:51:44.000 Now, obviously, there are some people in our country who are prepared to implement change in other ways.

00:51:50.000 And that's where we're seeing.

00:51:51.000 I'm not thinking really if democracy can survive unwrapping.

00:51:57.000 I think democracies are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges that we are facing.

00:52:08.000 And to me, that is part of what this race, this election is all about.

00:52:13.000 Will we break the fever in the United States?

00:52:17.000 Taken together, these developments evoke historical echoes that are very difficult to ignore.

00:52:20.000 During the McCarthy era, the United States government justified sweeping investigations and loyalist tests by invoking the need to root out subversion.

00:52:28.000 Senator Joe McCarthy's 1954 hearings targeted individuals for their associations, views, or insufficient enthusiasm for official narratives.

00:52:36.000 There was no formal ban on dissenting speech.

00:52:39.000 Yet the pressure exerted by the state and cooperating institutions chilled public expression.

00:52:45.000 Careers ended.

00:52:46.000 Publications avoided sensitive topics and people learned that the safest approach was silence.

00:52:52.000 We are their children.

00:52:53.000 We are in the cage.

00:52:55.000 These subtle electric currents continually stimulating us into compliance.

00:52:59.000 Unless you know there's a lever, baby.

00:53:04.000 He just wanted people to like him.

00:53:06.000 It's a documentary about me.

00:53:09.000 He would make you feel as if you were the only person that was important.

00:53:14.000 It's an interesting thing.

00:53:16.000 In some ways, he was quite a charming guy.

00:53:19.000 Any man who protects communists is not fit to wear that uniform, General.

00:53:25.000 It's funny because he's really into it, but he's sort of looking down.

00:53:28.000 He's not fit to wear that uniform, General.

00:53:33.000 This was a time when Americans are really worried about their standing against Russia.

00:53:37.000 A growing menace of communism.

00:53:42.000 Are you now under the direction of the Communist Party?

00:53:45.000 He realized he had a thing going.

00:53:46.000 He found his shtick at last.

00:53:48.000 McCarthy said, well, the way I read our rules, I can investigate anything.

00:53:52.000 The fight will continue, regardless of how rough the opposition gets and rough it will be.

00:53:57.000 But it never proved anything.

00:53:59.000 They just made lots of allegations.

00:54:00.000 He shouldn't be fighting communism, should focus on fighting male-pattern baldness and cultivating that weird horn in the center of his forehead, trying to cover his kind of cover a molten shoot of sins without any.

00:54:11.000 I will tell you that I will root out baldness.

00:54:14.000 I will use this little strand of inexplicable forehead hair to cover my whole brow.

00:54:21.000 And newspapers kept reporting McCarthy's allegations.

00:54:25.000 He tells a lie, and by the time you've responded to that, he's told three others.

00:54:29.000 But the full papers.

00:54:31.000 We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.

00:54:34.000 Do not confuse me with a bald person.

00:54:36.000 I've got my unicorn wig growing straight from there, covering my whole head.

00:54:42.000 The line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one, and the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.

00:54:50.000 McCarthy did not retreat.

00:54:52.000 He did not apologize.

00:54:53.000 Whenever he was hit, he hit back even harder.

00:54:56.000 It was dramatic television, real-life television.

00:55:00.000 You have this figure at the center of American politics who is reckless, who is destroying lives, who is creating polarization.

00:55:07.000 They're saying that he's Trump.

00:55:08.000 That's what this document is trying to do.

00:55:10.000 They're trying to say it's Trump, aren't they?

00:55:11.000 That's what they're doing.

00:55:11.000 Have you no sense of decency, sir?

00:55:15.000 At long laugh.

00:55:17.000 Have you left no sense of decency?

00:55:27.000 Ha ha, time six.

00:55:29.000 Of course they're trying to say it's Trump.

00:55:31.000 Notice how contemporary media elects which subjects you apply discernment to.

00:55:36.000 McCarthyism.

00:55:37.000 Be discerning now, 50 years later, now that it's irrelevant.

00:55:40.000 Trump, be discerning, because he happens to be in opposition to some of our cultural interests.

00:55:46.000 COVID.

00:55:47.000 No, actually here, we want fear and power to align neatly.

00:55:50.000 Do as you're told.

00:55:51.000 Trust the narrative.

00:55:52.000 Red's under the bed.

00:55:53.000 Ah, you could give it to your grandma.

00:55:56.000 Well, communism.

00:55:56.000 Yeah, I don't know either.

00:55:58.000 Earlier, the senator asked, upon what meat does this our Caesar feed?

00:56:03.000 Had he looked three lines earlier in Shakespeare's Caesar, he would have found this line, which is not altogether inappropriate.

00:56:09.000 Because that's what I did. 0.99

00:56:10.000 I looked three lines earlier to see if I could fuck him up. 1.00

00:56:13.000 And I did. 0.99

00:56:14.000 And here it is.

00:56:15.000 The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.

00:56:20.000 No one familiar with the history of his country can deny that congressional committees are useful.

00:56:25.000 People look up in them days.

00:56:27.000 Hello, it's the old days.

00:56:29.000 Welcome to the news.

00:56:30.000 Thanks for coming.

00:56:31.000 Press like and subscribe.

00:56:34.000 And please, if you like our content, might consider subscribing to Rubble Premium. 0.99

00:56:39.000 You filthy goddamn communists. 1.00

00:56:41.000 I barely dare look at you. 1.00

00:56:43.000 It is necessary to investigate before legislating.

00:56:47.000 No one knows what they're supposed to be doing.

00:56:48.000 The medium's too new.

00:56:50.000 Hello.

00:56:50.000 As far as a hello, is that you, son?

00:56:53.000 Is this my friends?

00:56:54.000 Hi, thanks for watching.

00:56:56.000 What?

00:56:57.000 You saw my titty then?

00:56:58.000 Oh, God.

00:56:58.000 Oh, my God.

00:56:59.000 It's Satan. 0.52

00:57:00.000 It's the devil's lantern, I tell you.

00:57:02.000 But the line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one.

00:57:06.000 You better believe it, baby.

00:57:08.000 And the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.

00:57:12.000 His primary achievement has been in confusing the public mind as between the internal and the external threats of communism.

00:57:20.000 We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.

00:57:23.000 We must remember always...

00:57:25.000 Hey, I like this dude!

00:57:26.000 Accusation is not proof.

00:57:28.000 Say it again.

00:57:29.000 Accusation is not proof.

00:57:30.000 Got it?

00:57:30.000 Accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.

00:57:35.000 Yeah, Edward Armoro.

00:57:37.000 We need to look down the barrel a bit more.

00:57:40.000 You've got a future in this industry.

00:57:42.000 We will not walk in fear, one of another.

00:57:45.000 We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine.

00:57:51.000 I've got this magnificent new machine, the teleprompter, where you can appear to be looking down the lens, but actually reading the whole time.

00:57:58.000 Well, that'll never take off.

00:58:00.000 And remember that we are not descended from fearful men.

00:58:04.000 Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate.

00:58:09.000 The fact that the news was quoting Shakespeare, that's some good stuff.

00:58:12.000 That's what we need.

00:58:13.000 We need a little bit of classical high value.

00:58:15.000 I believe it was Milton that said Paradise Lost.

00:58:19.000 But also want to have a bit of fun as well.

00:58:21.000 Oh, yeah, baby.

00:58:22.000 There's a target on Machist, Tommy.

00:58:25.000 And to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular.

00:58:29.000 This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent, or for those who approve.

00:58:36.000 We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result.

00:58:41.000 There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities.

00:58:47.000 As a nation, we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age.

00:58:51.000 We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom.

00:58:55.000 Brilliant, actually, isn't it?

00:58:57.000 Wherever it continues to exist in the world.

00:59:00.000 But we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.

00:59:04.000 The actions of the junior senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies.

00:59:13.000 And whose fault is that?

00:59:15.000 Not really his.

00:59:16.000 He didn't create this situation of fear.

00:59:18.000 He merely exploited it and rather successfully.

00:59:22.000 God, that's such sophisticated analysis.

00:59:24.000 It's not actually even his fault, really.

00:59:27.000 What kind of systems are these that generate the necessity, requirement, and even possibility for such malfeasance?

00:59:33.000 Cassius was right.

00:59:35.000 The whole thing's built around political betrayals in Shakespeare Caesar.

00:59:39.000 It's amazing.

00:59:40.000 The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.

00:59:46.000 Good night, and good luck.

00:59:48.000 The Red Scare was a reminder that censorship does not always come in the form of book burnings or explicit bans.

00:59:53.000 It can arrive wrapped in the language of safety, responsibility, and public integrity.

00:59:57.000 It can present itself as a polite request for cooperation.

01:00:00.000 It often relies on a network of aligned actors who enforce norms on behalf of the state, allowing governments to claim they're not directly restricting speech.

01:00:07.000 The pattern maps uncomfortably well onto the system emerging in Europe and the transatlantic network that supports it.

01:00:13.000 The Commission insists that its fight against X is not about content.

01:00:17.000 Perhaps technically that's true.

01:00:18.000 But regulations that determine who gets verified, who gets data, which researchers qualify for privileged status, and how visibility is algorithmically shaped, are entirely about content in practical and actual terms.

01:00:29.000 They define which voices rise and which sink.

01:00:32.000 They determine which topics become suspect and which narratives are approved.

01:00:36.000 Europe's own foundational documents state that every individual has the right to receive and impart information without interference from public authority.

01:00:43.000 It's difficult to square that principle with a regime that increasingly polices public communication through fines, pressure, and officially sanctioned gatekeepers.

01:00:50.000 If transparency becomes the pretext for a managed public sphere, the question is not whether censorship exists.

01:00:56.000 The question is how long governments can deny it while building the architecture for it in plain sight, which is the name of that documentary that the filthy, lying media, hard cash, Times, Sunday Times made about old Russ, a man who believes in freedom, sanctuary, glory, consent, and Christ.

01:01:16.000 Praise the Lord.

01:01:29.000 This Jeep.

01:01:30.000 Every dollar you spend on TriReborn.com gets you entered a number of times.

01:01:34.000 It changes, depending on a bunch of laws that I don't understand.

01:01:37.000 Probably the EU decided.

01:01:38.000 Probably Ursula von der Leyen's behind that Jeep. 1.00

01:01:41.000 I wish she were under it.

01:01:42.000 I'd tell you that much.

01:01:43.000 That I'll tell you.

01:01:44.000 Didn't she look like a baddie from a kind of mid-Star Wars franchise movie?

01:01:48.000 Something about the hair.

01:01:50.000 I don't know.

01:01:50.000 Anyway, you can win that Jeep.

01:01:52.000 More important than Jeeps, though, is that you, for God's sake, stay free.

01:01:57.000 Zelensky is not a proper person.

01:02:03.000 Hello there, you awakening wonders.

01:02:05.000 As Western leaders continue to pour extraordinary sums of money into Ukraine, despite mountain evidence of entrenched corruption at the highest levels, is the narrative surrounding Vladimir Zelensky finally impossible to uphold?

01:02:18.000 Is it collapsing in short?

01:02:20.000 For years, Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky has been presented in Western media as the heroic face of democratic resistance, even though he speaks a bit like a Dalek. 0.90

01:02:30.000 Any suggestion of corruption or misuse of Western funds was dismissed as propaganda.

01:02:35.000 Yet the facade is now cracking.

01:02:38.000 In a striking term, the New York Times of all of the institutions in the world has acknowledged that Zelensky and his top aides facilitated the siphoning of billions in aid, the racists. 0.60

01:02:47.000 Remember, you couldn't say stuff like that.

01:02:48.000 You couldn't say like missiles are cropping up in cartel hands.

01:02:51.000 You couldn't say about the pipeline and all that.

01:02:53.000 The paper that once championed him is now documenting how his administration systematically, hydramatically, Greece lightning, sabotaged anti-corruption mechanisms, sidelined over zeitboards and cleared the path for embezzlement.

01:03:08.000 The worst of the bezelments.

01:03:10.000 A sprawling energy sector corruption scandal is rocking Ukraine.

01:03:15.000 Last Friday, the country was shocked by the exit of President Vlodymir Zelensky's chief of staff, Andrei Yermak, also Ukraine's second most powerful man.

01:03:24.000 He resigned after the state anti-corruption body raided his home.

01:03:28.000 As special correspondent Jack Hewson explains, it's a crisis striking at the heart of government as the country fights for survival against Russia's brutal invasion.

01:03:37.000 The scandal centers around Timor Mindich, Zelensky's former media business partner, and a number of cabinet members, including former Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Chernyshev.

01:03:47.000 The group were accused by investigators of embezzling public money that should have been spent on repairing Ukraine's energy grid.

01:03:54.000 Then on Friday, Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, was raided.

01:03:58.000 It's not confirmed if it was in connection with the energy scandal, but he has since resigned.

01:04:02.000 All involved are close to Zelensky.

01:04:05.000 Zelensky came to office six years ago on a wave of popular revulsion against corruption.

01:04:10.000 For decades, Ukraine has been synonymous with the word, and Zelensky's promise of a new leader untethered to the system led to a landslide.

01:04:17.000 Now, that bubble has burst bitterly.

01:04:21.000 Even long-standing defenders in the legacy press are beginning to concede what critics have argued since the beginning of the war.

01:04:27.000 The Times investigation describes the deliberate dismantling of guardrails meant to prevent abuse of Western money.

01:04:32.000 Leaders in Kiev even rewrote company charters, says the Times, to limit oversight, keeping the government in control and allowing hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent without outsiders poking around, the report notes.

01:04:43.000 Supervisory boards and key institutions, including the state-owned electricity provider, were neutralized.

01:04:47.000 The outcome was predictable.

01:04:48.000 A corruption scandal has erupted involving Zelensky's inner circle and the embezzlement, that's embezzle, bezel bezelment, baby, of $100 million from Ukraine's state-owned nuclear company.

01:05:00.000 Huh!

01:05:00.000 Despite these revelations, European governments continue to provide Ukraine with vast sums of money.

01:05:06.000 NATO leaders recently agreed to commit more than $1 billion each month for new weapons.

01:05:12.000 What is Zelensky?

01:05:12.000 In America, he's a hero.

01:05:14.000 Here's friend of the show, Gavin DeBecker, on Joe Rogan's show, offering the most brilliant analysis of Zelensky-Zelensky's rise and what Zelensky is really.

01:05:22.000 Incredible.

01:05:23.000 He's a real warrior.

01:05:24.000 He's got that nice green, you know, warrior suit on.

01:05:28.000 And here's the truth.

01:05:29.000 And people know parts of this story, but they don't know it in its cleanest narrative.

01:05:33.000 So he was a totally apolitical.

01:05:35.000 He was an outsider to politics, zero experience or interest in government or politics.

01:05:40.000 He was a comedian and with no manifesto, no party ties.

01:05:44.000 And he does a TV show, a planned TV show called Servant of the People.

01:05:49.000 And the main character in the show does a YouTube video that calls out oligarchs and corruption and eventually becomes popular and is drafted as a protest candidate and eventually becomes president.

01:06:00.000 So Zelensky played on a TV show a person who becomes president by popular demand.

01:06:07.000 In real life, the TV show is supported by an oligarch named Kolomoyski who owned the TV channel.

01:06:15.000 And Kolomoyski did a huge non-stop promo on that TV show to make it the number one show.

01:06:20.000 Prime time slots and ads everywhere and crossovers with the news and what have you.

01:06:25.000 2018, a year before the show goes off the air, Zelensky forms a political party called Servant of the People, the same title as the show.

01:06:37.000 And no press release, secretly done.

01:06:41.000 And then he does another season of the show.

01:06:43.000 And in April of 2019, he announces his actual candidacy on Instagram.

01:06:50.000 He has no campaign, no rallies, no real platform.

01:06:53.000 He skips the presidential debates.

01:06:56.000 Others attended.

01:06:57.000 He avoids press conferences, and the few that he did in the beginning were really bad.

01:07:02.000 And Kolomoyski's TV channel gave Zelensky's campaign endless airtime and favorable polls and went after his enemies.

01:07:11.000 The U.S. intelligence agencies, CIA and NSA, helped.

01:07:16.000 US spending $5 billion, by the way, on democracy campaigns in Ukraine, funneled through NGOs.

01:07:25.000 And USAID embeds advisors in his organization to help with the campaign.

01:07:31.000 I'm almost done.

01:07:32.000 And on election day, Zelensky wins with 73% of the vote.

01:07:37.000 Officials acknowledge the corruption, but claim that the risk must be tolerated.

01:07:41.000 Gotta tolerate the risk.

01:07:42.000 Gotta tolerate them.

01:07:43.000 The pattern is not new.

01:07:44.000 During the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers exposed how successive administrations concealed billions in US funds being lost to corruption within the South Vietnamese government.

01:07:53.000 Yet the war effort continued.

01:07:54.000 In the 1980s, the Iran Contra Fair pulled back the curtain, or you could say, if you wanted to, foreskin.

01:08:00.000 If you wanted, you can say it.

01:08:02.000 You can say it's not legal to say.

01:08:04.000 You could say pull back the curtain.

01:08:06.000 Or if you wanna, because you're free, you can say, pull back the foreskin. 0.86

01:08:10.000 I mean, it makes it a bit silly, even though we're doing some good research here.

01:08:13.000 And this is a good article, isn't it?

01:08:14.000 You can say, the Iran Contra Fair pulled back the foreskin on secret funding networks operating in Central America.

01:08:23.000 The scandal exposed the diversion of money, all this is still true, from weapons sales to Iran in order to finance the contra rebels in Nicaragua.

01:08:32.000 It showcased how shadowy financial channels hidden from public oversight could flourish under the cover of national security.

01:08:38.000 The parallels to Ukraine's supervisory boards being stripped of all foreign are difficult to ignore for anybody.

01:08:43.000 Similarly, after the US invasion of Iraq, sums of reconstruction money simply disappeared.

01:08:50.000 Billions in cash.

01:08:51.000 Shipments went unaccounted for.

01:08:52.000 And many of the officials who benefited were supported directly or indirectly by Washington.

01:08:57.000 With oversight failures brushed aside as the cost of maintaining influence in the region.

01:09:02.000 In both America and Europe today, the picture of what Mr. Reagan has been doing with Iran has finally begun to clarify.

01:09:08.000 Mr. Reagan's change of heart on Iran seems to have been triggered after the TWA hijacked to Beirut.

01:09:14.000 Iran helped free hostages then.

01:09:16.000 News was amazing, like even hostage attacks.

01:09:18.000 There you go, look, he's got a gun against that fellow's head.

01:09:21.000 This is what we're dealing with.

01:09:23.000 It's 1985.

01:09:24.000 You cannot trust these bloody Iran Contras. 1.00

01:09:27.000 And the White House saw an opportunity.

01:09:29.000 This is where Israel came into the picture.

01:09:32.000 Oh, okay.

01:09:33.000 I thought this was going to be some like uncontroversial historic 1980s fun news, but oh, here we go.

01:09:38.000 According to the Washington Post, Mr. David Kimchi of the Israeli Foreign Ministry suggested arms and spare parts as a way America could show good faith to Iran.

01:09:48.000 Arms and spare parts.

01:09:50.000 By September, it said the first delivery was underway, flown from Israel via Portugal to Tehran.

01:09:57.000 The authoritative Madrid newspaper El Pais says at least five American arms flights went to Tehran from Spanish airports in the past two years.

01:10:06.000 This is amazing.

01:10:06.000 This is the sort of stuff that's happening all the time now because of online media.

01:10:11.000 What the hell is that Egyptian jet doing there in Utah? 1.00

01:10:15.000 This doesn't make sense.

01:10:16.000 How extraordinary.

01:10:17.000 Why would Russia blow up their own pipeline?

01:10:19.000 So really all it is is now we've got a million monkeys in real life at typewriters continually and once in a while you get the perfect works of Shakespeare, notably from Edward Morrow.

01:10:30.000 One delivery in mid-September last year was immediately followed by the freeing in Lebanon of the American hostage, the Reverend Benjamin Weir.

01:10:38.000 Three months later, Robert McFarlane came to London for secret talks, followed in Washington by President Reagan's secret authorization of arms deals.

01:10:47.000 By the spring, Mr. McFarland was in Tehran itself on a secret four-day mission.

01:10:52.000 More arms followed in the summer, and another hostage was freed, the Reverend Lawrence Jenko.

01:10:58.000 Then this autumn, the same again, apparently another delivery, another hostage out of Beirut, Mr. David Jacobson.

01:11:05.000 Thus, the two most outspoken opponents of international terrorism, Israel and the United States, participated in moving arms shipments to Iran despite an American-imposed ban on doing so.

01:11:16.000 Any link to hostage releases is still denied.

01:11:19.000 The Foreign Office here said today they had known nothing of the deals.

01:11:23.000 But the former Foreign Secretary, Dr. David Owens, said that Britain too had been cheating on supplying arms to Iran as recently as two years ago.

01:11:31.000 Amazing.

01:11:32.000 Extraordinary.

01:11:33.000 Pay attention.

01:11:34.000 My fellow Americans, I've said on several occasions that I wouldn't comment about the recent congressional hearings on the Iran-Contra matter until the hearings were over.

01:11:44.000 Amazing, the tactics, some of the tactics remain consistent.

01:11:47.000 I'm not even going to comment on that Epstein business.

01:11:49.000 I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

01:11:51.000 Yeah, that's not working. 1.00

01:11:53.000 I'm on that fucking island. 0.99

01:11:55.000 Well, that time has come, so tonight I want to talk about some of the lessons we've learned. 0.99

01:12:01.000 But rest assured, that's not my sole subject this evening.

01:12:05.000 I also want to talk about the future and getting on with things because the people's business is waiting.

01:12:12.000 Oh my God, it's the same.

01:12:13.000 It's the same, isn't it?

01:12:14.000 If you compare Reagan's handling of Iran-Contra and then look at the current White House's handling of the Epstein files, do you note the tactics are pretty similar?

01:12:23.000 Like, you know, look, we don't need to talk about this.

01:12:25.000 I don't want to dignify a response.

01:12:27.000 There's more important things than this.

01:12:30.000 Interesting.

01:12:31.000 These past nine months have been confusing and painful ones for the country.

01:12:36.000 I know you have doubts in your own minds about what happened in this whole episode.

01:12:40.000 What I hope is, not in doubt, however, is my commitment to the investigations themselves.

01:12:46.000 So far, we've had four investigations by the Justice Department, the Tower Board, the Independent Council, and the Congress.

01:12:55.000 We're in control of all of those.

01:12:57.000 I requested three of those investigations, and I endorsed and cooperated fully with the fourth, the Congressional Hearings, supplying over 250,000 pages of White House documents, including parts of my own private diaries.

01:13:13.000 Once I realized I hadn't been fully informed, I sought to find the answers.

01:13:19.000 Some of the answers I don't like.

01:13:21.000 As the Tower Board reported, and as I said last March, our original initiative rapidly got all tangled up in the sale of arms and the sale of arms got tangled up with hostages.

01:13:32.000 Secretary Schultz and Secretary Weinberger both predicted that the American people would immediately assume this whole plan was an arms for hostages deal and nothing more.

01:13:44.000 Well, unfortunately, their predictions were right.

01:13:47.000 As I said to you in March, I let my preoccupation with the hostages intrude into areas where it didn't belong.

01:13:55.000 The image, the reality of Americans in chains, deprived of their freedom and families so far from home, burdened my thoughts.

01:14:05.000 And this was a mistake.

01:14:07.000 My fellow Americans, I've thought long and often about how to explain to you what I intended to accomplish, but I respect you too much to make excuses.

01:14:16.000 The fact of the matter is that there's nothing I can say that would make the situation right.

01:14:22.000 I was stubborn in my pursuit of a policy that went astray.

01:14:26.000 As is it with Reagan, all of this is happening.

01:14:29.000 So much has passed in the interim, and I still think, primarily, what a fantastic head of hair.

01:14:35.000 Ukraine now appears to be repeating these stinking patterns.

01:14:38.000 Before the war, it was already considered one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.

01:14:41.000 I like that.

01:14:41.000 Look at this comparison between how the crisis, one liberal UK newspaper has reported on the same subject.

01:14:48.000 This is brilliant.

01:14:49.000 And obviously it's good because it's a diagnostic tool for bias.

01:14:52.000 Before the Ukraine crisis, the Guardian says, welcome to Ukraine, the most corrupt nation in Europe. 0.99

01:14:58.000 The fight for Ukraine is a fight for liberal ideas.

01:15:00.000 It's amazing.

01:15:00.000 And of course, what they'd say at the Guardian is, yeah, but everything changed because, you know, Zelensky was changing Ukraine and Ukraine wanted to join NATO and modernize.

01:15:10.000 But another argument would be, you can't trust the media.

01:15:13.000 The Pandora papers revealed offshore networks and questionable business dealings surrounding figures close to Zelensky.

01:15:19.000 The infusion of hundreds of billions of dollars since 2022 did not transform the system.

01:15:24.000 Instead, according to the New York Times, you and men alike, because you know the old days, it enabled the very people responsible for reform to entrench themselves further and profit from the chaos.

01:15:36.000 Yet portions of the US media continue to deflect attention.

01:15:39.000 While the Times investigates Ukrainian graft, popular hosts such as Rachel Madow and Stephen Colbert revive the familiar narrative that Donald Trump is compromised by Russia.

01:15:49.000 You remember, they said he got weed on, stuff like that.

01:15:52.000 The message is clear.

01:15:53.000 Don't look too closely at where your tax dollars are going.

01:15:56.000 Focus instead on a story that's never been substantiated just because there's we in it.

01:16:01.000 Well, I need more, more than we we.

01:16:05.000 I mean, literally, they wrote the plan for what they want Ukraine to do, and the White House put it on its letterhead and said, here it is.

01:16:11.000 You better do it.

01:16:13.000 And, you know, Russia is a podunk country. 0.99

01:16:16.000 They're a huge landmass, largest physical country in the world.

01:16:19.000 They've got an economy like the size of Italy, right?

01:16:22.000 They've got a kleptocratic, sclerotic government run by a guy who's never going to leave until he dies.

01:16:31.000 The idea that we work for him, that we work for them, is so humiliating and is such an abject failure on the part of Trump in terms of his weakness. 0.60

01:16:41.000 I don't know what Putin has on him, but he works for Putin and it's an embarrassment to this country.

01:16:49.000 I'm not taking those people seriously anymore, are you?

01:16:51.000 I just refuse, the Colberts, the Mad Owls. 1.00

01:16:53.000 It's over for them.

01:16:55.000 The unraveling of the Zelensky narrative raises a fundamental question.

01:16:58.000 If the country was mired in corruption before the war, and if its leadership is spending years dismantling oversight while receiving unprecedented foreign funding, and we know that stuff happened in the past, how deep does the rock go now?

01:17:09.000 Western governments justify the flow of money on the grounds of defending democracy, like always, democracy, got to defend democracy.

01:17:16.000 Yet the evidence suggests that those funds have bolstered a system that undermines the very values it claims to protect.

01:17:21.000 Wow, hypocrisy, irony, lies.

01:17:23.000 The historical record's clear.

01:17:25.000 When vast foreign resources collide with weak institutions and geopolitical urgency, there is corruption.

01:17:31.000 Ukraine is following the same script and the consequences are only beginning to surface. 0.81

01:17:36.000 And people that were ages ago raising questions like good old Rusty here, will we be proven right or will we just be rounded up and put in jail?

01:17:46.000 I don't know.

01:17:47.000 Why don't you decide?

01:17:48.000 Let me know in the comments and chat what you think.

01:17:52.000 Well, thank you very much for joining us today.

01:17:53.000 This Thursday will be live in Phoenix for the turning point event.

01:17:56.000 I'm actually going.

01:17:57.000 Me, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson.

01:18:00.000 Please, Lord, watch over us and protect us.

01:18:03.000 I'll see you there.

01:18:04.000 In the meantime, if you can support Reebong, win yourself a Jeep, sign up to Rumble Premium.

01:18:09.000 More important than any of that.
