There's so much to cover in this episode, it's almost impossible to cover it all. First, there's the news that Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire, and the ICE raids, and AOC's spat with President Trump. Then there's a story about a man proposing to his own AI, and we have some amazing, slightly lighter stories about AOC and Trump's spat.
00:07:38.000Thanks for joining me today on Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:07:41.000Today we're asking ceasefire or no ceasefire.
00:07:44.000Let's give you a chronological breakdown of the last 24 hours and where we all stand in this evolving situation.
00:07:53.000Secondarily, I suppose we could ask, do you suppose that current affairs events somehow function as a distracting, ever-shifting mandala that draws our focus to divisive issues so that we can't drop into a deeper level of consciousness where we can make more reasoned or more intuitive decisions?
00:08:13.000You know, whether you see it as rational and reasonable or intuitive and deep, we can't continue to operate in this continually, this continually disruptive, shifting and ordering situation.
00:08:24.000I want to thank Mug Club for the raid.
00:08:27.000If you're joining us from there for the first time, welcome.
00:08:30.000Isaac, come over and have a look at the Rumble chat if you would get that functioning and visible on my screen because I'm very interested in what you have to say about the situation.
00:08:39.000If you move over there a little bit and just handle it there, that would be super helpful.
00:08:42.000If you're watching us on X or YouTube, come and join us on Rumble as soon as you can.
00:08:48.000Let's get into, first of all, the ceasefire, because for a minute, it seemed like there was a ceasefire, then the ceasefire has been withdrawn.
00:08:56.000Now, some people don't even like the word ceasefire.
00:09:20.000So let's see if we can get through this ceasefire situation first of all.
00:09:24.000So as Trump announces that there is a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and an end to the 12-day war.
00:09:32.000But, you know, before, it's in a sense a ceasefire on ceasefires because antipathy quickly resumed.
00:09:40.000Have a look at this moment on CNN, which is enjoyable if abrupt.
00:09:44.000Now, we're hearing incredibly optimistic views coming out of the White House as far as how long this can hold and what this is going to look like.
00:09:51.000That obviously still remains to be seen on the implementation side of this and waiting to see if the firing does stop and if Iran and Israel do both agree to this.
00:10:00.000Because, you know, speaking of the fluidity of the situation, it was just 24 hours ago that President Trump himself was suggesting a regime change in Iran was a possibility.
00:10:09.000And obviously right before that, having the United States strike Iran.
00:10:12.000And so, yes, there have been a lot of phone calls going back and forth.
00:10:16.000In part, this has to do with Iran's limited response earlier where they fired on a U.S. base in Qatar.
00:10:23.000We know that they did give a heads up that they were going to be firing on U.S. bases without exactly specifying which ones.
00:10:31.000But that is the question here, is if the United States felt that it did not need to respond to the Iranian retaliation, did that create the space for this?
00:10:39.000That is what we've been hearing from administration officials.
00:10:42.000And so the question is whether or not this still holds for the next few hours.
00:10:47.000Caitlin, I've just been given word that Iran, according to a diplomat who briefed CNN, Iran has agreed to the ceasefire.
00:11:26.000We're going to talk you through all of it.
00:11:27.000And I bet while we're talking, ceasefire come, ceasefire go.
00:11:32.000In a way, what we're dealing with, I suppose, is the never-ending anxiety of constant stimulation through media.
00:11:41.000I was reading Surprise by Joy by C.S. Lewis yesterday.
00:11:45.000And he was saying that it was a bad habit to read newspapers, like, because he's obviously writing in like the 19, this was probably in the 1950s, I'm figuring.
00:11:54.000Because you're constantly, your attention is gliding from like a marital matter, some scintillating story.
00:12:02.000Then you're reading about a flood in India.
00:12:04.000Then you're reading about a war elsewhere.
00:12:07.000Can you imagine how great minds such as those of C.S. Lewis or Gandhi, who said we were infatuated by gadgetry, would respond to this state of cyclical stimulation that we live in now?
00:12:22.000Like, in a way, we're almost analyzing every vibration that comes out of Trump's mind or mouth or his social media posts.
00:12:30.000Incessant, almost immediately redundant media.
00:12:34.000And I reckon our role, let me know what you think about this in the chat, whether you're on locals like my friend Blessed Old Bird or Distracting Carrot, new on Rumble.
00:12:42.000Isn't our role to somehow engage with eternity, to have some aspect of our consciousness and our being that's outside of time while we have to manage our individual lives, our family lives, our community lives, our personal lives, our financial lives amidst this storm that sometimes seems all-consuming and sometimes utterly redundant and irrelevant, even when we're talking about war.
00:13:05.000Here's J.D. Vance talking about the ceasefire when there was a ceasefire.
00:13:08.000If you've just joined us, we're talking about ceasefires, anti-ceasefires.
00:13:11.000In a minute, we'll be talking about AOC and Trump.
00:13:13.000We'll be talking about the fractures that are continually occurring in the political space as it tries to hold itself together as forms of centralization try to assert when the tendency is towards, I would say now, decentralization.
00:13:30.000When I left the White House, I thought that we might be able to get it across the finish line before this broadcast, and it looks like the president has been able to do that.
00:13:37.000I mean, look, he's been working the phones constantly.
00:13:39.000Frankly, before the 12-day war started, but certainly over the past 12 days, the president's been extremely clear about America's national objective here.
00:13:48.000It is to create a world where Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon.
00:13:51.000We, of course, destroyed the nuclear program that they had, and the president told the entire team we're going to work to make sure that they don't try to rebuild that nuclear capability in the future.
00:14:01.000So there's a tempt to sort of brand it as a 12-day war, but it's lasting longer than that, breaking District Court Judge Audrey Trump to restart war with Iran.
00:14:27.000Right, Sagar NG, he's a vocal Republican and good independent media journalist.
00:14:33.000Here's his take on this, because right now we're in an unceasefire, although we might be transitioning to another ceasefire any moment.
00:14:41.000And what we're putting to you, and what we're asking you, is how are you personally going to cope with an endless cycle of news, endless spats?
00:14:49.000And are you beginning to think that no matter which way you vote or whichever way you place your political affiliation and personal energy, that you're going to end up in some centralized system that benefits perpetual war or requires perpetual war in order for itself to benefit, I suppose is a better way of phrasing that.
00:15:07.000That you're not really going to be able to get purchase or real change.
00:15:11.000Do you see that the system itself, the Leviathan, the Goliath, the monster, is beginning to crack and quake?
00:15:22.000Look, I'll happily take whatever it is Trump is now saying, but the idea that yellow lighting a regime change war by Israel, wiping out facilities without destroying Ukrainian stockpiles, admitted to using diplomacy as a ruse, calling for regime change, and then the next day saying you want world peace for some grand master plan is genuinely laughable.
00:15:38.000The sheer schizophrenia of US policy in the last week should give very few confidence that this is serious and can't start again at any time.
00:15:46.000In a minute, we'll be showing us a rare clip of Trump actually using expletives.
00:15:51.000For all of the talk of vulgarity, it's not often that you see the commander-in-chief resorting to curse words.
00:16:00.000Firstly, though, here's Israel claiming that Iran violated the ceasefire agreement.
00:16:05.000Fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran looks to be on the brink of collapse.
00:16:10.000In the last half hour, Israel said it had identified new missile strikes launching its way from Iran.
00:16:16.000Those were intercepted, but Israel's defense minister has instructed his military to respond forcefully to what he's described as a violation of the truce.
00:16:25.000Okay, so Trump ordered Israel not to retaliate.
00:16:37.000Even for those of us that have ever since the golden escalator moment followed Trump, his mastery at maneuvering media spaces through direct guerrilla style social media use are now witnessing, I suppose, a new expression of social media government.
00:16:58.000Like it was weird, wasn't it, to watch Anderson Cooper say, well, these updates are just coming from President Trump's Truth Social.
00:17:03.000And now we're watching international diplomacy, or if not international diplomacy, the PR component of international diplomacy being conducted directly on social media, a social media site that the president owns.
00:17:39.000Or do you think that this is an interesting moment for assessing state power, even when alloyed to a nationalist, populist candidate and somewhat, you know, gosh, let's face it, a unique leader like Donald Trump?
00:18:31.000Eric Grins, we've got loads of stuff coming up today.
00:18:34.000So do join us on Rumble where you can speak freely.
00:18:37.000For example, the Dave Meyer says Tucker isn't MAGA.
00:18:40.000Then there's someone saying that the Nazis in China, Joe Rogan's getting called a libtard in the chat.
00:18:45.000But, you know, hey, man, people are expressing free speech.
00:18:49.000I'm a proud Trump supporter, says Miguel with a bunch of numbers.
00:18:54.000Why don't you join the conversation over there?
00:18:55.000Here's Trump expressing his, I suppose, despair, disappointment, despondency at his inability to bend reality, particularly when it comes to this ancient, troubling, and endlessly fracturing region.
00:19:37.000But I'm really unhappy if you're going to have this morning because the one rocket that we just Basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
00:24:11.000I suppose by stepping outside of this state of continual flux that's facilitated, yes, by centralized media, but also now significantly contributed to by independent media sources because it's just endless, endless sort of conflict and drama around a never-ending fluctuating situation.
00:24:37.000But Levin, again, doesn't care about the United States, and they're all wearing the Trump skin suit right now because they think it suits their purposes.
00:25:13.000And it's very frustrating as a literal person who cares about what's true to see people jumping up, Mark Levin or Laura Loomer, that's the world's creepiest human.
00:25:22.000I don't even know where she came from or who she is exactly, but she's running around.
00:25:25.000I'm Donald Trump's, you know, defender.
00:25:34.000And I'm the arbiter of what it means to be for America, someone who, again, has no interest in the United States, demonstrated no interest.
00:25:50.000Laura Loomer, I'm not even really sure who she is.
00:25:52.000However, if people like that are able to take over a political movement whose stated goal is to serve the United States first and Foremost, America first, make America great again.
00:26:02.000If those people can take control of that political movement, first of all, it's an offense against reality and truth, but second, it's really dangerous for the country.
00:26:11.000I mean, they washed out of the Democratic Party, the same people, and now they're trying to take over the Republican Party.
00:26:20.000Unbroken track record of failure, unbroken track record of ideas that hurt the United States in measurable ways, impoverished the United States, put us in unpayable debt, killed a ton of people, destabilized the world, caused a refugee crisis in Europe, destroyed Europe.
00:26:34.000That's a lot of destruction for one group of people and one set of really bad ideas, the John Boltons, the Bill Crystals.
00:26:41.000Can they be allowed to take over the Trump White House?
00:27:08.000And we came really close to doing that again because of Mark Levin and Laura Loomer and the rest of these morons who've never even left New Jersey.
00:27:15.000Like they don't know anything about the world.
00:27:48.000But in a sense, are we not at the point where we're starting to recognize that there are institutional and systemic ways of maneuvering the political machine of your great nation towards an agenda that seems to be at least somewhat extra-American, extraterrestrial, outside of the U.S.?
00:28:07.000Let me know what you think in comments and chat.
00:28:10.000I worked for an anti-war president and I saw He ran against the people.
00:28:21.000I like just rocking his way through the interview, just rocking away.
00:28:25.000Do you think that you're going to get reasonable or valuable contributions in the circus of legacy media?
00:28:33.000Are you like me reaching a point where the fever pitch is so high that it's not like I want to tune out of it, but I'm recognizing that this is not the frequency that's going to deliver truth.
00:28:46.000There's so much shash, so much white noise, so much distraction, so much agitation, so much overstimulation.
00:30:08.000At a point where we are stimulated into near hysteria continually by media, I reckon you and me have an obligation to turn away from it.
00:30:18.000I'm not saying that we negate it into isolationism.
00:30:21.000I'm not suggesting that we ignore the plight of the many suffering people in the world, but that we recognize that this continual agitation, this hive of constant stimulation, is not going to lead to a solution.
00:30:38.000Let's support people that advocate for peace.
00:30:40.000Let's support those that recognize the complexity and the singular truth that on both sides of this dispute, when you're looking at, for example, the region of the Middle East, there are reasonable people and that the most reasonable outcome is peace, harmony, to look into one another's eyes and try to find the divine, the sublime, the Christ in one another.
00:31:03.000Or perhaps we can just lose ourselves in incessant, colliating cells of chaos and nonsense.
00:31:11.000The UK are agitating for further conflict.
00:31:52.000Free speech is under attack, Jack, but Rumble refuses to take it lying down.
00:31:56.000Rumble is farting out the fierce cock of authoritarianism and clamping shut the butt cheeks of free speech, baby.
00:32:05.000We've always believed in empowering voices, no matter how unpopular, and now we're taking that fight to the next level.
00:32:11.000When major advertisers conspired to pull their dollary dues, even brands like Dunking Donuts turned their back, claiming Rumble had a right-wing culture.
00:35:19.000Russell always has some nice blouses, says scene 03. Let's have a look at this, just like a minute of these unpacked things that we do.
00:35:29.000If you're from the UK, you will be forced to carry digital ID.
00:35:33.000How are they going to do that when we're so cynical about government authority and government power after we saw during the pandemic that we absolutely can't trust them?
00:35:40.000Well, call it a brick card and claim that it's an anti-migration measure.
00:35:46.000Tony Blair, that extraordinary cohort of George W. Bush when it came to the massacre of children in Iraq, is back.
00:35:55.000We cannot continue with business as usual and change is inevitable.
00:36:00.000This is where technology like digital ID becomes critical.
00:36:08.000Thank you for going to so much trouble.
00:36:10.000If you're English, like I am, you'll have so many recollections of Tony Blair turning up on your television set and telling you how to feel about things.
00:37:01.000What it is, is the legitimization of authority.
00:37:04.000What it is and what it will always be is control that they mask behind care.
00:37:13.000Hey, listen, if you're watching this on YouTube, we're going to leave you now simply so that we can discuss drag queens performing in the Oregon House of Representatives to celebrate the passing of a resolution that marks the artistry of black drag performers.
00:37:28.000Oh, when will we recognize the artistry of black drag performers?
00:37:33.000Right, one hand, there's Iran-Israel about to push the world into total oblivion, but when will someone acknowledge black drag artists in Oregon?
00:38:32.000And as a result of being as old as he was, some of his decisions may have been poorly.
00:38:37.000And also, it's possible he won't even make him those decisions.
00:38:40.000Like, Jake Tapper is realizing now what many people realize when they watch the presidential debates between Biden and Trump, Joe Biden was too old to possibly be operating the levers of power in the manner one would expect of a sitting president.
00:38:54.000I think Jake Tapper goes one further than usual by quoting Orwell.
00:38:58.000George Orwell once wrote that, Quote, we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right.
00:39:13.000Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time.
00:39:17.000The only check on it is that sooner or later, a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.
00:39:27.000Now, when George Orwell wrote that, he was talking about World War II.
00:39:30.000He wrote, quote, the Germans and the Japanese lost the war quite largely because the rulers were unable to see facts which were plain to any dispassionate eye.
00:39:40.000And then he said, and this is one of my favorite quotes ever, to see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle.
00:40:19.000Most notably, and perhaps at the apex of this phenomenon, was when he said to Lara Bush, what about kids with stutters and stabbers?
00:40:27.000Joe Biden is a healthy, vibrant man who just happens to stammer.
00:40:31.000And when you criticise Joe Biden, stammering kids across America will be deluged with ridicule.
00:40:38.000Now, I don't know what George Orwell would have made of that, but I reckon he might have lunged at Jake Tapper, gripped him by his testes until the one on the left, the bigger of the two, was popped.
00:40:50.000And he may have used the subsequent fluid as a kind of dipping sauce, like a chicken-fillet.
00:41:05.000There's a variety of things he could have done, but it just does seem no less absurd than what I've just said, that Jake Tapper is doing a book tour in which he cites Orwell when he participated in a big brother-like global deception when it came to covering up the senility of Joe Biden.
00:41:32.000Gareth, who prepares the content for the show, said that we would like this because she talks about how when you become a parent, your anti-gun stance might significantly alter.
00:41:43.000It's been fascinating because I've been on this sort of journey through motherhood where, you know, I've always been a very liberal person, maybe even lived hard.
00:41:53.000But once you have a kid, you start like having thoughts that have been characterized as conservative.
00:41:57.000As soon as I had a kid, I was like, I need a gun now for myself because I've got coyotes in my yard.
00:42:35.000Like, or just on a kind of like, whoa, the sweet glory, the power of the firearm.
00:42:41.000But as a symbol, I suppose what it represents to me is personal freedom against supposed authority of the government.
00:42:51.000Not that one imagines oneself in armed combat with your own government, but as a symbol of your own authority, well, there's nothing quite like a firearm, except maybe a firearm in a coyote holster.
00:43:06.000You lot, you got guns around the Smith household?
00:44:21.000Hey, listen, this is Tucker Carlson, friend of the show and friend full stop, saying that Moscow is nicer than anywhere in the UK.
00:44:29.000Many people have been talking about the UK as a place in steep and serious decline.
00:44:34.000And, you know, there's a point where social democracy and neoliberalism fail so dramatically that state communism, a la Russia, would become favorable.
00:44:46.000And the claim being made here by Tucker is that when it comes to Moscow versus, well, he says any British city, it already is.
00:45:04.000But, you know, if I were Putin, I would offer free first-class trips to Moscow so they could see that like Moscow is so much nicer than any place in Great Britain.
00:45:52.000We're talking about him a little later.
00:45:53.000Or are there too many people sort of opposed to his kind of contemporary online chauvinism?
00:45:59.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:46:01.000Will it come from the direction of Tommy Robinson, his patriotism and nationalism, which many people are uncomfortable with because of the very public positions he's taken around migration and the Islamification, probably the type of word he would use, I reckon, of the UK?
00:46:17.000I think we're going to be speaking to Tommy Robinson soon, as a matter of fact.
00:46:21.000I think that's coming up on this show.
00:46:23.000I'm interested in new alliances, new political alliances, as the political space in the UK and indeed the world continues to shift.
00:46:32.000There are, there is there potential, one might ask, for alliances between figures strongly identified with the left, figures strongly identified with the right.
00:46:43.000Something's got to happen to change this peculiar institutional inertia, this drift towards forever wars and authoritarianism through care.
00:46:51.000We just saw that Brit ID card, kind of a lingering Tony Blair idea being enacted now in order to protect us relatedly against migration.
00:47:01.000I'm not suggesting that protection from migrants ought be the raison d'être of a nation.
00:47:06.000But again, if you have a nation, that does mean borders, that does mean boundaries.
00:47:10.000This is a time of complexity and confusion.
00:47:13.000My focus personally is individual freedom through surrender to God.
00:47:18.000Now, if you don't have that as an option available to you, Lord alone knows what kind of chaos you would embrace.
00:47:23.000Since I've been out of the country, there's this fellow called Thomas Skinner, who many people are talking about as a potential mayoral candidate.
00:47:32.000But listen, we consider that the roles themselves are so co-opted and owned, it doesn't really matter who you place in those individual roles.
00:51:52.000Look, you know, the truth is this, Lord.
00:51:56.000When I'm watching, like, the news reports on Iran, Israel.
00:52:01.000The constant confusion, the bewilderment that comes from witnessing people try to understand geopolitics and complex, cacophonous voices that drown out reason but beyond reason to drown out truth in this space, it's difficult not to yield to bewilderment and confusion.
00:52:24.000And when you see the normalization of pornography and promiscuity and hedonism, I recognise my own contribution to normalising pleasure as a kind of coordinate to guide you.
00:52:38.000I recognise the deep, deep need for your return and for your presence, Lord.
00:52:43.000Oh, Heavenly Father, show us how we can be useful so that we're not just one more noise in this space.
00:52:54.000Everywhere people are reaching out with dependent hands that will wither yet, Father, as they reach the false gods and false idols.
00:53:02.000As these golden calves and mollocks and poles tumble, Father, Lord, will you show us through the stream of deep truth that's available to us at our core?
00:53:13.000Lord, may we put the belt of truth around our waists.
00:53:16.000May we receive your righteousness by grace.
00:53:19.000May we recover the dignity and grace that is ours by birthright.
00:54:04.000Thanks for going up onto that cross, for enduring suffering and fear and terror and dread and agony and anguish because the debt needed to be paid.
00:54:13.000Thanks for paying that debt for us, Father.
00:55:34.000I've just had a cup of 1775 and now I'm vibrating on such a high frequency that Terence McKender's machine elves are telling me how to do this advert.
00:55:42.000Man, it's completely possible that these entities and beings are interfacing with us right now.
00:55:47.000This isn't your nan's free dried sadness in a tin.
00:55:50.000This isn't the dregs of a wrung-out sanitary product.
00:55:57.000I had a cup this morning and accidentally started a new religion.
00:56:00.000It doesn't whisper, it breaks into your subconscious like a caffeinated raccoon rifling through the flaming garbage and screams, rise, you beautiful dumpster wizard.
00:56:08.000History isn't going to rewrite itself.
00:56:10.0001775, coffee is single origin, high attitude, organic, small batch roasted beans.
00:56:15.000What does that mean in normal personal terms?
00:56:17.000It means that Lady Liberty herself is French kissing your taste buds while bald eagles harmonize in the background.
00:56:25.000This coffee makes you feel seen, makes you feel alive, makes you feel like charging into Parliament on horseback with a scroll of forbidden knowledge and a cinnamon stick.
00:56:33.000I declare myself the new leader of these islands.
00:56:37.0001775, the revolution is coming into you, baby.
00:57:33.000So, if you're watching Us on X and you want to see me talk right now about the mayoral election in New York and how a socialist candidate might be about to open state-run supermarkets in New York City, click the link in the description.
00:59:27.000Why don't we cast aside old labels like socialist and capitalist and left and right and focus instead on local community power?
00:59:37.000Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
00:59:40.000The political conversation is certainly changing as Joe Rogan himself has said that he's got concerns about the ICE raids and deportations.
00:59:48.000Let me know what you think about that.
00:59:50.000Here is a Democrat commercial on the subject of deportations, suggesting that in extremists it might lead to mixed race couples being separated by deportation agents.
01:00:04.000Let's have a look at this as well as Joe Rogan's comments on these ICE raids.
01:00:31.000I end the age of the Leviathan, the age of these teetering towers reaching continually upward, grasping, whether they are state fists are pummeling or corporate commercial palms are grasping.
01:00:47.000Is this the age where them towers need to come down?
01:00:51.000Do we need grassroots movements that transcend the old labels, that use present technology, whether communicative or fiscal and transactional, to create new communities?
01:01:05.000Certainly, this age of division can't be held together in constant polarity for much longer.
01:01:12.000Let's have a look at this new Democrat advertisement that's, I suppose, an expression of the anxiety and fear around the current deportations.
01:02:05.000That's just a sort of regular piece of propaganda.
01:02:10.000But it certainly expresses a good deal of growing concern around these deportations.
01:02:16.000Of course, we know that the MAGA movement openly and publicly and explicitly campaigned on borders and walls and Americans first and deportation.
01:02:26.000Let's see what Joe Rogan has to say, though, about these ice raids.
01:02:38.000The protests are taking it a little too hard.
01:02:40.000Well, I don't think if the Trump administration, if they're running and they said, we're going to go to Home Depot and we're going to arrest all the people at Home Depot, we're going to go to construction sites and we're going to just tackle people at construction sites.
01:02:53.000I don't think anybody would signed up for that.
01:02:55.000They said, we're going to get rid of the criminals and the gang members first, right?
01:03:00.000And now we're seeing Home Depots get raided.
01:03:06.000Okay, but it's not a problem that's confined to America.
01:03:09.000This sense of ongoing division, divisiveness and conflict and the inability to create a kind of social cohesion where the Irish agree what Ireland is for and about or the French agree what France is about.
01:03:24.000This is just one further example of constant division that for me suggests that indeed the centre cannot hold.
01:03:33.000We can't live anymore under human authority.
01:03:37.000The state as God isn't working anymore.
01:03:40.000There are protests in Dublin, anti-racism, anti-immigration demonstrations held in Dublin.
01:03:46.000The world's tearing itself apart over this issue, it seems to me.
01:03:50.000Here's Rebel News as a, I don't know how to describe Rebel News anymore, but certainly they were, Tommy Robinson was on there for a while and I believe the person that founds it and owns it is called Ezra Levant and they're a kind of a nativist Canadian organization that have, I suppose, garnered success as people come deeply cynical about global bureaucracies like the WF.
01:04:13.000They've done really good reporting from Davos confronting globalists like CEOs of BlackRock and big pharma companies like Pfizer being given sort of staunch walks through the Davos snow with mic-wielding agitators.
01:04:29.000Here they are talking about the migration protests in the north part of the country of Ireland.
01:04:47.000We don't know what their intentions are.
01:04:49.000But the people who do call us racist, they tend to be comfortably middle-class people.
01:04:53.000Brento, what do you think of that advertisement that suggests that the state are going to intervene In personal relations to make deportations.
01:05:04.000That's kind of quite heightened, quite visceral.
01:05:07.000That's an aggressive piece of campaign material, you might say.
01:05:12.000But let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
01:05:14.000When you saw the MAGA party, Trump and his Republican movement campaigning about deportations, did you see it the same way Joe Rogan did as being focused on criminal gangs and how do I want to describe this?
01:05:32.000Illegal residents in the United States of America that were criminal and overtly criminal?
01:05:38.000Or did you imagine that the guys that were hanging out at a Home Depot would be getting deployed?
01:05:43.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
01:05:45.000Now, wherever you stand on the issue of migration, you have to recognize that it's becoming increasingly contentious, whether it's the riots in California or the protests across Europe or this sense of dissatisfaction and unease.
01:06:02.000Do you see how either side, whether it's a sort of a liberal and cohesive melting pot perspective or a right-wing nativist nationalist deportum perspective, benefits when we are in conflict?
01:06:15.000Let me know how you feel in the comments and share.
01:06:45.000Lincoln reporting for rebel news in Banker, Northern Ireland, which is a town just outside of Belfast.
01:06:52.000Behind me is a group of concerned citizens who have been gathering for two and a half years in protest of this hotel, which has been converted into housing for migrants.
01:07:01.000Tonight, however, people are also gathering in solidarity with a teenage girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted by two Roma migrants in the nearby town of Ballymina.
01:07:11.000The alleged sexual assault sparked a peaceful protest that quickly escalated into riots across the region, with police and citizens clashing in the streets.
01:07:20.000At the root of this anger is growing frustration over both illegal and legal migration into Northern Ireland.
01:07:26.000In Ballymina, members of the Roma community have reportedly been involved in various crimes, including operating brothels, engaging in human trafficking, and prostitution.
01:07:35.000It appears that the alleged sexual assault committed by individuals from that community was the tipping point that triggered widespread outrage.
01:07:43.000Are we going to live forever in this constant fraught tension between native populations and migrant populations?
01:07:50.000Are we going to live continually in this culture war where prominent individuals see America so discreetly and distinctly?
01:07:56.000We didn't really even cover as we intended to the AOC Trump spat where icons of the left and right spar online.
01:08:10.000Stupid AOC says Trump, one of the dumbest people in Congress, is now calling for my impeachment, despite the fact that crooked and corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before.
01:08:20.000The reason for her ranting is because Democrats aren't used to winning.
01:08:25.000Okay, so like he's really going for AOC here.
01:08:30.000As the doctor in charge said, President Trump, okay, so he's identified AOC as a kind of icon of attack when it comes to, you know, he's, what, Okay, but here's her repost.
01:08:48.000Mr. President, don't take your anger out on me.
01:08:50.000Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war.
01:08:56.000It only took you five months to break almost every promise that you made.
01:09:01.000I wonder if there's a perspective available on this that's somewhat mythic, as we know that probably even while we've been streaming, there have been several ceasefires started and ended.
01:09:12.000Whether you're looking at the mayoral candidate in New York who's using socialist ideas to address the idea of poverty, i.e.
01:09:20.000supermarkets that have controlled prices, or the migrant, the content that's being produced around the issue of migration, it's pretty clear that what's needed is the ability for these differing views on how society ought to be run to be expressed.
01:09:38.000And it's difficult for it to be expressed at the level of the nation.
01:09:42.000I suppose that when you have prominent figures sparring it out, when you have someone like Joe Rogan questioning the ICE raids, when you have Tucker Carlson questioning the war, when you have Elon Musk questioning the big, beautiful bill, you have to recognise, I suppose, that either these are public conversations that are healthy in a democracy or indications that there is no strong centralised consensus because such a thing when it comes to cultural issues is impossible.
01:10:11.000You want to have a nation, I suppose you're going to have borders and you're going to require a degree of government and therefore taxation.
01:10:18.000But it seems that the tendency increasingly among both of these opposing sides is for minimal intervention, i.e.
01:10:26.000there is an AOC America that wants to be expressed and born.
01:10:30.000There is clearly, on the basis of the recent electoral results, a Trump America that wants to be expressed and lived out.
01:10:38.000But what doesn't seem to exist anymore, whether it's in Ireland or France or my country or yours, is a cohesive national identity that can sustain itself.
01:10:48.000You might argue it's always been like that.
01:10:49.000There was a civil war, there was a revolution.
01:10:51.000But what there wasn't always was the technology available for decentralization as the principle wherever possible.
01:11:00.000Mass communication could create mass democracy.
01:11:05.000New forms of currency could create new trade.
01:11:09.000Innovation in agriculture could mean sustainability and independence where possible.
01:11:16.000And all of these things, in my mind, in my heart at least, are directed towards alleviating tension, alleviating conflict, alleviating elitism and constant exploitation.
01:11:29.000None of us are going to Resolve the conflict between Iran and Israel by doubling down on the perspective of either side.
01:11:36.000No one's going to resolve the conflict even between Trump and AOC simply by further advocating for the person in that spat that you believe in.
01:11:45.000The only way to change the world is to change the systems of governance.
01:11:50.000And my belief is that they themselves have been captured by, well, I want to say evil organized intelligence, but that's not what I think.
01:12:07.000Authorities that are motivated not by flesh, but by insidious intents that we can only oppose by surrendering our hearts and our minds and our lives to God and becoming a dwelling place for a holy power that's beyond our limitations.
