00:10:19.000I'm afraid I do not do drugs and have not done drugs for 21 and a half years and now I receive the powerful light that is the only drug you will ever need, the light and the truth.
00:10:30.000The one narcotic, not a narcotic I suppose because that suggests sleep, it is an awakening and powerful, powerful energy that we've been granted access to.
00:10:37.000For the first 15 minutes, wherever you're watching us, you could be watching us on X, you could be watching us on YouTube, you could be watching us, I don't know, in a reflection, in a refrigerator door, in Acapulco, you are free, you can do whatever you want to do.
00:10:59.000We're talking about censorship and authoritarianism and we are talking once more, as we were at the beginning of the pandemic, of the way in which crises are exploited in order to legitimise authority.
00:11:27.000We won't judge you whoever you say because the principle remains true.
00:11:31.000We are living increasingly in a globalist authoritarian system that is using as its chief bogeyman the populist nationalist politician who may be a threat.
00:11:43.000But what's definitely a threat to you are these Kafka-esque, Huxley-esque, insidious, bureaucratic authoritarians who will find a way to control you.
00:11:55.000This is what we've been discussing for the majority of today's show.
00:11:59.000We're going to start off, though, just covering a few things, just having a little bit of fun before we get to the juicy stuff only available on Rumble.
00:12:06.000That's why if you're watching us on YouTube, you've got to click the link in the description, get on over there and join us.
00:12:12.000Now, as you know, we're friends with Tucker Carlson.
00:12:15.000I'm going on Tucker Carlson's live show in September when he's appearing in Phoenix.
00:12:20.000Remember, if you are an awakened wonder, we're going to be doing live shows here at our HQ.
00:12:26.000If you're an awakened wonder, You can come for free whenever you want.
00:12:29.000You have to apply using a postal link, would you Dan?
00:12:33.000You have to apply for your ticket there because otherwise we could be inundated with spies!
00:12:37.000You know, who knows what kind of Gestapo these new authoritarian regimes will throw up, but we will fight for freedom as long as we have breath in our bodies and we will continue to have breath in our bodies because of medical measures that we either took or did not take.
00:12:52.000And here's Tucker Carlson talking about His greatest achievement.
00:14:58.000Mildly sick and it was I would have rather not yeah, you know, but like whatever it's fine And then I know so many people who who got it and some of whom had the same Experience as me got kovat a few times and just were mildly sick.
00:15:15.000A lot of them got it several more times than I did.
00:15:20.000And then I do know a few people who developed heart conditions, who developed different
00:15:46.000One thing that seems clear to me is that long Covid is being used potentially to mask Let's call it what it is, likely consequences of vaccines.
00:16:00.000How many people do you know that have got sick or potentially died where you have some deep inkling, unlikely to ever be demonstrated through clinical trial, for who would pay for such clinical trials, but that you suspect might have been caused or Exacerbated by a vaccine injury.
00:16:18.000People with heart conditions, people with turbo cancers.
00:16:20.000Notably, God rest her soul, the former CEO of YouTube who lost her life.
00:16:25.000We're going to have to learn and investigate new methods of tackling new diseases.
00:16:31.000We're going to have to open our hearts to a new fusion of holistic medicine ...and pharmaceutical medicine, a new pharmacology undergirded not by industry and a constant desire and demand for profit, but for the Hippocratic Creed to heal, to do no harm.
00:16:54.000With Dave Martin who plainly claims that Anthony Fauci is a sociopath.
00:17:01.000So let me know how you feel about the measures that you took during the pandemic and let me know how you feel about long Covid and the incessant need for these booster shots.
00:17:15.000Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:17:19.000I saw in the Rumble chat there, John Seeks was saying, I bet you won't cover the Nord Stream explosions and German police reportedly seeking a Ukrainian diver.
00:17:31.000Now the Nord Stream pipeline story is a fascinating one because now we are aware that we are in a global information war.
00:17:39.000And the American presidential campaign is likely to be, excuse me, its greatest ever front.
00:17:44.000Why I say the Nord Stream Pipeline story was so exciting is because when that story broke, we saw that wave of information.
00:17:52.000The Nord Stream Pipeline, it was blown up by Putin, Putin did it himself, and then quite quickly, Due to social media, for, you know, we talk a lot about its eels and ales, but one of its benefits is new nodes and networks of communication couldn't emerge to convey truth.
00:18:07.000Well we're talking about the situation in Britain later and the potential threats of free communication, threats to the establishment.
00:18:39.000Let's have a look at this story about the German police Seeking the Ukrainian diver that presumably was involved in the explosion of the Nord Stream Pipeline.
00:18:49.000I remember at the time we had Jocko Willink, former Navy SEAL on the show, and we asked, you know, would you be able to do that?
00:18:55.000And he'd say, yeah, that'd be no problem.
00:18:57.000Blowing up a pipeline, I'd do that before breakfast, he said.
00:19:03.000German media are reporting that prosecutors here have issued an arrest warrant for a suspect behind the 2022 explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
00:19:13.000It is believed that the Ukrainian man was one of the divers who allegedly planted explosive devices.
00:19:20.000Two underwater explosions were registered on the Nord Stream pipelines off the Danish island of Bornholm in September 2022, months after the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
00:19:30.000The pipelines were supposed to bring Russian gas into Europe, but were not in operation at the time of the blasts.
00:19:42.000DW correspondent Matthew Moore is standing by for us.
00:19:45.000Matthew, what more can you tell us about this arrest warrant?
00:19:49.000Terry, this is a very significant development on a story that has drawn a lot of attention in the last two years.
00:19:58.000And now today we've learned, according to German media, that in June an arrest warrant was issued by Germany, a European arrest warrant was issued for an individual, a Ukrainian individual, with a link, with an address in Poland.
00:20:12.000As we heard, his name is Volodymyr Tsed.
00:20:14.000We only know the first initial of his second name, according to German law.
00:20:18.000And this man is supposed to have worked with two other individuals, a woman and a man, all Ukrainian nationals, to have prepared the Nord Stream bombing in September in 2022.
00:20:31.000And until now, the German prosecutor has declined to comment on these reports this morning.
00:20:38.000But it's really a significant development because There hasn't been any news since early last year when German authorities searched a yacht on a seaside resort in northern Germany.
00:20:50.000Even tonally, this news report is somewhat anomalous, isn't it, for those of us that have become accustomed to an unceasing Deluge of fast and fatuous information.
00:21:03.000Just to pause and stop for a moment and be reminded that the Nord Stream pipeline was likely blown up by deep state operatives.
00:21:12.000Potentially this person, although I would never never miss the opportunity to say innocent until proven guilty, is a reminder of the power of new media.
00:21:23.000That they can convey their propaganda but it will be countenanced.
00:21:32.000The next American presidential election will be a showdown between new media and old media.
00:21:39.000Certainly not my position as an English person nor as a Christian to tell you which way to vote, mostly because what do I know?
00:21:46.000But I do know what authoritarianism, bureaucrats, A new form of technological dictatorship looks like, smells like, tastes like, and the real fascinating aspect of it is it's a truly global phenomena.
00:22:00.000Whether it's Gavin Newsom in California, Kistama in the UK, or any one of a number of political figures that are emerging to say, we must control agriculture, We must control information.
00:22:15.000We must deny the spiritual and divine dimension of human beings.
00:23:14.000Before we do that though, Let's enjoy CNN questioning the increasingly invisible Kamala Harris, ever since it's been announced that she will be taken over from the ethereal and mysterious Joe Biden, who's disappeared like a breath of sepulchral dust.
00:23:37.000Who decided that this guy was no longer the presidential candidate?
00:23:41.000Who decided that that debate was just one fluff, grumble, stumble and mumble too far?
00:23:46.000Who was it that decided en masse that Kamala Harris was some new messiah?
00:23:53.000How is this coordinated campaign of hagiography and worshipful Time magazine covers being coordinated?
00:24:04.000How galling it is to witness the lack of scrutiny, the lack of policy, the lack of inquiry, damn it, the lack of democracy itself.
00:24:14.000Even CNN and their Never shy of picking up the bugle and giving it a blast for the system, are beginning to question where Kamala Harris is, what she stands for, and what this campaign is about.
00:24:37.000In those states I mentioned, those Great Lake Battleground states, Trump was underestimated by nine points on average at this point in 2016.
00:24:49.000That's actually, this is, I love this guy.
00:24:51.000He analyzes graphs on CNN and he's one of my favorite CNN pundits because he's enthusiastic about graphs.
00:24:57.000But the bit I want to show you is this one.
00:24:59.000Where they're talking about, you know, they're not condemning Kamala Harris, but they're curious about where she is.
00:25:05.000But you know that the Dems know that the way to beat Trump is to get out of the way.
00:25:10.000That's the tactic and game plan they mastered with Biden.
00:25:13.000Park Biden in the attic where he's happiest and let Trump stir up hysteria with what some people will consider to be witticism and charisma and other people will consider to be demagoguery.
00:25:25.000What some people will consider to be plain common sense and other people will consider to be fascism.
00:25:30.000Let's have a look at how CNN are taking to Kamala's strategy.
00:25:36.000What's on the vice president's schedule today?
00:25:40.000Well, she's traveling and talking to voters and getting her message out there to the American people, something that she's been doing from the very start of this campaign, and something that she certainly did when she was President Biden's running mate as Vice President.
00:25:51.000But look, you just mentioned the speech she's going to be giving in New York.
00:25:55.000I was asking about today, and I don't think she's got any campaign events on the schedule today, does she?
00:26:02.000Well, she and Governor Walz have been traveling across the country.
00:26:05.000They hit nearly every battleground state last week.
00:26:08.000On the campaign trail, they raised $36 million within the first 24 hours of Governor Walz joining the ticket.
00:26:14.000And what she's going to be doing Friday is taking her economic message directly to the voters in North Carolina.
00:26:19.000I certainly don't want to get in front of exactly what she's going to say.
00:26:22.000But she's going to talk a little bit about how she's going to make sure that she's putting
00:26:26.000consumers first as part of her economic plan.
00:26:29.000She's going to take on corporate price gougers, she's going to take on junk fees.
00:26:34.000And that's something that John, she did when she was Attorney General of California, something
00:26:38.000she continued to do as the United States Senator of California.
00:26:40.000So she's going to be taking that message out to voters and I look forward to seeing what
00:26:46.000Brilliant isn't it how propaganda works.
00:26:47.000Because the media space we live in is so immediate and responsive, you can see when they're like, right, we're just going to say someone's weird.
00:27:13.000I was granted the mysterious gift of life by an unknowable cosmic force that some might call Jesus Christ and I spent my time eating and drinking and looking at stuff and I made into my gods Pleasure.
00:28:56.000Oh, when the Saints come marching in, we want to be among them, don't we?
00:29:00.000So why don't you take a seven-day journey with Halo through the lives of incredible saints.
00:29:05.000The challenge kicks off with Joe Mazzula, the coach of the Celtics and San Sebastian, the patron saint of athletes.
00:29:12.000It's been the Olympics and we need to reclaim it for spiritual people, and in particular Christians, don't we?
00:29:17.000Ria Woolberg leads meditations and Jonathan Rumi, Jesus' My Body Double takes us through powerful stories of saints.
00:29:25.000The series ends with Father David Michael Moses and Blessed Pierre Giorgio Frasati.
00:29:30.000Saints in Seven Days explores the rich stories of their journeys to sainthood, filled with God's grace and glory, and also the human struggles, great suffering, mistakes, and a profound need for God's mercy.
00:29:41.000The hard thing to accept is saints aren't that much different From us, you or I, do we have the potential to become saints?
00:29:48.000Are we ready for that level of suffering and pain?
00:29:50.000Because you don't often read about saints and go, you know, they lounged about, they thought about themselves all the time, they was on the couch, they was on the sofa, they was just basically relaxing.
00:30:34.000Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovsky could be going to jail.
00:30:37.000Some of the deep state resources and AI forces that were monitoring during COVID are now being used to monitor and control you right now.
00:30:45.000They're looking at the comments, they're looking at what you're saying, they're looking at what you're thinking, and they're going to find ways To criminalise you.
00:30:53.000The UK is obviously at the vanguard, the new frontier of global authoritarianism.
00:30:58.000But this is of course, by its very nature, not a phenomena limited to the United Kingdom.
00:31:04.000We saw how Australia behaved during the pandemic.
00:31:07.000Setting up what some would regard as internment camps.
00:31:10.000We saw how Canada behaved during the pandemic.
00:31:19.000And now the UK has moved to the vanguards.
00:31:22.000Do you sometimes think Americans that the ancillary nations that share your language and in our case gave you it are used to pilot new modalities and methods that will ultimately be deployed in your country if you don't keep hold of the means to defend yourself for surely
00:31:39.000We appear to be in a revolutionary moment and the globalists have got the reins.
00:31:45.000If we don't find ways of uniting, ways of overcoming our superficial differences, ways of coming to consensus and agreement around the most contentious issues, we will be damned and we will fall.
00:31:59.000Surely we mustn't lose our sense of humour because in times like these, even looking at a riot is enough to get you in trouble.
00:32:07.000If you watch the riot from the sideline, you will be refused bail.
00:32:11.000So if someone riots near you, you just, you look away.
00:32:15.000We were told you're not meant to cross by on the other side.
00:32:18.000That's the message of the Good Samaritan.
00:32:20.000Get on that other side and shut your eyes.
00:32:23.000If someone starts rioting, cover your face, get on your knees.
00:32:29.000You could be a tech oligarch or you could be a person who just happens to glance across a riot.
00:32:35.000I don't know, maybe your ball rolled across the street, or an apple if you dropped a shopping bag.
00:32:41.000Don't follow its pathway, because if there's a riot or disturbance over there, if there's something over there that the authoritarians don't like, you will be in serious trouble.
00:32:52.000What happened to the wide-eyed idealist Keir Starmer?
00:32:57.000Who went head of the CPS, that's like being our Attorney General for the whole country, believed in free speech, believed in the right for people to speak freely and openly, to in the marketplace of ideas come to some sort of unity and unison, to acknowledge that there are many ways to be human and many ways for us to align and ally and oppose authority.
00:33:21.000What happened to the guy that said that Too many Twitter prosecutions could damage free speech.
00:33:27.000That guy is long since perished and he's been replaced by a new authoritarian.
00:33:35.000It's not a condemnation or criticism of the individual.
00:33:37.000You can see when you watch Keir Starmer talk when he was head of the Crown Prosecution Service, that's the head of our legal system in the UK, that he has a brilliant legal mind.
00:33:47.000But, like many globalist figures, They can become co-opted.
00:33:53.000They are ultimately vassals of a less clear but still discernible global force.
00:33:59.000Why do you think, across the world, farmers are protesting?
00:34:03.000Could it be that there are some centralised edicts that are playing out so that food could be controlled?
00:34:09.000Why do you think censorship is being discussed everywhere?
00:34:12.000Of course it's a response to a truly global phenomena like the internet, where immediate global communication is a possibility, but more importantly, it's a response to the potential that the ability to communicate grants us with.
00:34:24.000We can no longer be lied to In the same way, of course there's disinformation, malinformation, misinformation.
00:34:30.000Of course people post dumb stuff, felonious, erroneous and untrue stuff on the internet.
00:34:35.000But what we ought be granted and what we indeed ought demand is the right to decide for ourselves what we believe to be true. And the more power we grant to
00:34:46.000already authoritarian systems, the less likely we'll be able to complain about it in the
00:34:53.000future. Here's Keir Starmer way back when, talking about the importance of free speech,
00:34:58.000which you'll remember. Do you remember?
00:35:24.000Here's Keir Starmer talking about free speech.
00:35:28.000Maybe 10 years but a million lifetimes ago.
00:35:32.000Where communication is, as it were, merely offensive, grossly offensive, etc, then principles of free speech and free expression require there to be a high threshold and dictate that a prosecution is unlikely to be in the public interest in many of those cases.
00:35:53.000The factors which will suggest people might not be prosecuted include things like deleting it quickly if you've sobered up in the morning.
00:36:02.000One thing that's very important in this area is that where free speech protects the subject matter, a prosecution must be proportionate.
00:36:11.000And when considering whether a prosecution is proportionate, The question of whether a communication is removed quickly, whether the individual expresses remorse, whether access to the communication is blocked, these are obviously relevant to any assessment of proportionality.
00:36:26.000And will it be more or less likely for individuals to be prosecuted criminally now when they're using Twitter or Facebook, do you think?
00:36:33.000It's not possible to say whether it's more or less likely.
00:36:35.000There simply haven't been enough cases.
00:36:37.000But this is clearly signalling that in those cases that are protected by freedom of expression, then there's a double safeguard, a high threshold and consideration of the public interest before a prosecution will be brought.
00:36:52.000That's a man that you might disagree with.
00:37:05.000He's highly, highly educated, but he comes from a humble background.
00:37:09.000Now, the same as someone like Gavin Newsom I would contest, or Kamala Harris, this is a person that is ultimately a vassal for state and globalist power.
00:37:19.000This man here is talking about the importance of free speech, proportionality, redemption, remorse, conversation, openness.
00:37:39.000These centralised systems are in place to ensure that the systems remain Preserved.
00:37:43.000They are there as the throne and enthroning of authority.
00:37:48.000So the individual is not what's significant.
00:37:51.000You can see there some time ago he had different principles and we can see now that his principles are in alignment with the interests of the powerful and if they weren't he wouldn't be sitting in that chair.
00:38:03.000Here's Robert Malone who made his bones in COVID after he came up or significantly contributed to mRNA technology and then was Sort of somewhat hysterically judged to be anti-vax when he himself invented forms of vaccines.
00:38:18.000The UK is under a totalitarian regime.
00:38:21.000It has fallen to tyranny under Keir Starmer.
00:38:24.000One former member of parliament told me this morning Andrew Bridgen surely, that close to a thousand arrests
00:38:30.000have been made for sharing online posts in the last week.
00:38:33.000The same MP advised me that even a stopover through Heathrow isn't safe for Americans
00:38:38.000who have spoken out about immigration issues.
00:38:41.000One key aspect that makes this apparent crackdown on social media particularly shocking to critics
00:38:45.000is that the British government is threatening to extradite American citizens from the US
00:38:48.000to be jailed in the UK for violating their rules about political speech online.
00:38:52.000Now even that, and then he says Britain is now under siege.
00:39:01.000But even that is not unprecedented because you remember just a couple of weeks ago Australia was saying, oh because people might use X with a VPN, hey we can advertise those baby!
00:39:12.000Because people might use X with a VPN, we should have the right to arrest people abroad.
00:39:18.000This is how globalism has to ultimately play out.
00:39:20.000You can't respect sovereignty, not of the individual and not of the nation, not of ideas, not of discourse.
00:39:26.000It demands absolute power, whether it's in the form of Keir Starmer, a once brilliant young litigator, Kamala Harris, whether you love her or loathe her, and I know you loathe her because you're watching this kind of media, She was once a brilliant attorney, or a hustler, or however she made her bones.
00:39:43.000We make our way through life in all sorts of peculiar fashions.
00:39:47.000Ultimately though, they have been co-opted by a system that will use them for as long as they have some utility, and will discard and dispatch them whenever it is necessary.
00:40:03.000To refuse to be violent, to refuse to attack one another, to refuse to burn down buildings, but to become unified in absolute light.
00:40:13.000Can you imagine their ontological terror, when one day, in spite of our many obvious differences, We are able to stand together regardless of our political or religious affiliations and demand the right for individual autonomy and community autonomy.
00:40:31.000We will then be able to resolve whatever disputes we have around sovereignty and culture truly democratically among one another.
00:40:40.000As long as the serpent's head remains engaged, we are doomed.
00:40:45.000And as long as we remain in endless pirouettes of circular and senseless dispute with one another, We are malleable.
00:41:42.000Do not collect ÂŁ200 and get a bloody vaccine and get your umpteenth booster shot!
00:41:47.000You could get yourself a cough, couldn't you?
00:41:50.000Okay, let's have a look at how they're handling this stuff.
00:41:53.000Secretive Covid-era spy agency brought in to monitor social media during riots.
00:41:59.000I am personally familiar with these AI organisations that are government-funded that surveil social media in order to accumulate information that they can utilise, amplify, de-amplify or deploy.
00:42:13.000This is the game now, and it's a game that's going to affect all of us.
00:42:17.000So don't be excited if authoritarianism temporarily goes your way.
00:42:23.000It's my side that's using this authority!
00:42:26.000Well, let's hope that it remains your side if laws are passed that grant this kind of staggering power to despotic individuals or a despotic system.
00:42:39.000You may remember The kind of invigorated rejection that Starmer experienced when, during the lockdown era in opposition, where he also, may I say, attended an illegal event, like Boris Johnson, like Rishi Sunak, like the baddies back then, Keir Starmer had his own illegal lockdown.
00:44:02.000We'll check out the droog chucking him about.
00:44:04.000Probably that guy will be an ex-military or ex-old bill police, you know, probably a really decent guy, wearing a mask, working for the system right now.
00:44:13.000If you work for the police force, if you are a service person, ultimately Who, in whose thrall are you?
00:45:30.000Let us be smart and clever enough to stick to the principles espoused and practiced by Martin Luther King or Gandhi of absolute non-violence.
00:46:14.000If you are, right now, infused only with zealous iconoclasm, then it's going to be a tough, tough road for all of us because there was only one perfect person born and none of us are that person.
00:46:34.000Deborah Davitt pointing out that he was head of the CPS while Julian Assange was in prison.
00:46:40.000He was head of the opposition while Julian Assange was in prison.
00:46:43.000Wouldn't it be great if Julian Assange, when he came to premiership, was able to go, hey, you know, all the while that the conservatives were in power, I was like, get Julian Assange out of Belmarsh.
00:47:00.000So, Again, don't get caught up in the individuals.
00:47:04.000The individuals are just occupying temporarily positions that the authority demands of them.
00:47:10.000Let us, ourselves, focus on the only individual we should be focused on is ourselves and our personal participation in this crusade or quest, if the word crusade troubles you, for glory.
00:47:22.000Now then, let's have a look at what Schellenberg got to say on this thing, because he's always pretty smart when it comes to how liberalism has been metastasized into an authoritarian force.
00:47:35.000For hundreds of years, liberals have been fierce opponents of authoritarianism.
00:47:39.000Indeed, the word liberal means freedom, doesn't it?
00:47:41.000Not conservatives who have fought against restrictions on free speech, defended the right to privacy from the government, and fought abuses of power by government agencies.
00:47:49.000In contrast, conservatives have placed a higher value on maintaining social order and upholding traditional moral hierarchies.
00:47:54.000Do you accept Schellenberger's theses?
00:48:04.000In December 2022, Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota governor Tim Walz Who some call Tampon Tim, who some say shook his wife's hand in an unusual way, who some people liken as a hunter and a fishin' and a football coachin', but who does he work for?
00:48:25.000He said there's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech in a cinch, and especially around our democracy.
00:48:32.000In fact, the first amendment protects both and in 2020 we'll also implement a COVID snitch line and encourage residents to report violations of pandemic restrictions.
00:48:43.000We're going to implement a snitch line.
00:48:46.000Don't let it become unpopular just because it's called a snitch line and all of us know that snitching is fundamentally a negative thing to do to betray your peers and to make yourself an informant to power.
00:49:00.000Now there's a way back Free redemption for all of us.
00:49:03.000But a snitch line surely is not the way forward.
00:49:07.000The Civil Rights Department of California Governor Gavin Newsom introduced last year a snitch line and urged citizens to report their fellow citizens for alleged hate speech.
00:49:16.000British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called for greater censorship of social media platforms and British police have over the last few days arrested three people for what they posted online.
00:49:25.000How you establish a causal link for an online post and a real-life event is going to be an interesting legal precedent but you can bet your life They will get there.
00:49:35.000This list that Schellenberger uses is the epitome of globalism.
00:49:39.000Professional people that probably one way or another are brilliant or have been brilliant but now are marshalling their talents in the services of authority.
00:49:49.000Isn't it curious that now Gavin Newsom has opposed a bill as being too costly that would allow children more protection from sex offenders?
00:50:02.000Isn't it curious that prison room is being found for people affiliated with these riots?
00:50:08.000Even if you looked at it from a sideline!
00:50:13.000Is there an absolute principle on prisons?
00:50:15.000Is there an absolute principle on the availability of funds for prosecution and legislation?
00:50:40.000having a hierarchy around expenditure would be a sensible way of budgeting, but when all of the money and all of the effort and all of the intention and all of the propaganda heads in a single direction, the direction of giving them more power and more authority, you have to start questioning.
00:50:55.000And if you don't question what's happening, I don't know if you're part of the problem, but if you support and facilitate what's happening, and claim that it's okay just this once, then you are, I'm afraid, part of the problem.
00:51:06.000Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has demanded greater online censorship, froze bank accounts of protesting truckers, and is pushing legislation that could send a person to prison for life for speech.
00:51:16.000What could you say that would warrant that?
00:51:18.000Well, what about when the Pope, Pope John Paul II, forgave the bloke that shot him and visited him in prison?
00:51:25.000Aren't these the kind of principles that we want to be aspiring to?
00:51:46.000They would argue that misinformation and hate speech online lead to real-world violence, like the riots we've seen in Britain.
00:51:51.000Or protests, according to our audience, because language is important.
00:51:54.000COVID-19 transmission threatened public health, and something had to be done to peacefully end the trucker protest.
00:52:02.000Isn't it an extraordinary time where, in order to achieve safety, in order to receive convenience, we are willing to yield to authority?
00:52:12.000This is a final bit of Schellenberger's article, and it's available on his Substack, I would imagine.
00:52:18.000None of those measures was required because there were other ways to deal with those problems.
00:52:22.000It's a gross simplification to attribute Britain's recent riots, or protests, to online misinformation, and the best antidote to misinformation remains good information, not censorship.
00:52:32.000There was never any reason to think that people outside not wearing masks were a sufficient threat to public health to justify a snitch line reminiscent of a communist totalitarianism.
00:52:44.000Violating both privacy and personal liberty, and the government had other ways to end the truck of protests, and indeed used them.
00:52:49.000Making bank freezing a gratuitous and authoritarian overreach.
00:52:53.000What's more, the authoritarian measures imposed by these leaders were highly selective in nature.
00:52:57.000As such, liberal politicians like Walt, Newsom, and Trudeau, and Starmer, are simultaneously creating greater authoritarianism and greater anarchy.
00:53:05.000I would say that anarchy might be the solution.
00:53:06.000Decentralized, fully democratic, local sovereignty.
00:53:10.000This is in stark contrast to liberals who in the past fought authoritarianism and demanded greater free speech, personal freedom and privacy.
00:53:32.000To look for opportunities to unify, to demand the right to protest peacefully and to insist that those we protest alongside protest with dignity and poise in spite of the great burning, anger, loss and tragedy that served as an inciting incident which has already almost been forgotten for the tragic events in our country, the United Kingdom, in recent weeks.
00:54:19.000We are not evolved to receive this amount of information this quickly.
00:54:22.000We have to return to the true vitality of real principles.
00:54:26.000We have to find it within ourselves and within one another, otherwise we will truly be victims, and not in the way that seems so powerful these days, victims of an authoritarian state posing as liberators.
00:54:39.000Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:54:42.000We've got so much to talk about in the remainder of the show, but let's have a look at a quick message from a little app that's going to really help you with cash, if cash is still a thing.
00:54:50.000With over 100,000 gas stations, petrol stations we call them, grocery stores, and that's a better term, and restaurants on the upside app, cash back is just around the corner on daily essentials.
00:56:36.000And I love talking about Christ and that journey, but I recognise that even can be divisive, although my prayer is that it won't remain divisive for long.
00:56:42.000So have a look at this stuff where we chat about stand-up.
00:56:47.000It is, but I know that he's talking about the song Ironic by Alanis Morissette.
00:56:52.000And he made the brilliant joke that the only thing that's really ironic is there's a song being written about irony by someone who doesn't know what irony is.
00:57:25.000The game is, she just says, it's like a traffic jam when you're already late, and Ed Byrne goes, no, it would only be under these circumstances.
00:57:32.000and he does that for each alliance and that's the game.
00:57:34.000We've been talking about the litany of globalists and their sort of, you know, by their nature
00:57:45.000we're talking about alliances between Justin Trudeau and Keir Starmer and Yaman Walsh,
00:57:54.000Now, like, the reason I guess people like me that would previously not have been sympathetic to Donald Trump are, is because the system bloody well hates him.
00:58:04.000Now for people that are right out there, they're like, no, but he's still part of the system and yeah, you know, I get it.
00:58:08.000But like, My point here is that the real menace is the authoritarian globalism that we've been discussing through the lens of Starmer and the British riots in the last 20 minutes or so.
00:58:21.000Gavin Newsom is another comparable globalist threat.
00:58:29.000He's certainly a good candidate, for he loves authority.
00:58:33.000In my chat with Adam Carolla, we talked about the paddleboarder that was arrested during the pandemic for, I don't know, paddleboarding without a mask, I suppose, but there's such a solitary thing to do, isn't it?
00:58:43.000Paddleboarding, like, unless there was other people on that paddleboard.
00:58:47.000There's people with comorbidities on that paddleboard!
00:58:54.000Like, Newsom there, he actually is opposed, or at least his California finance department is opposing a bill that would make buying children for sex a felony because of the potential cost.
00:59:08.000I mean, of course buying children for sex isn't ideal, but it is costly to make it a felony.
01:00:12.000Lawmaking process, but not without some debate.
01:00:14.000So today, the Assembly's powerful Appropriations Committee held a brief hearing on the bill before placing the proposal on what's known as the suspense file This is basically a list of bills that are expected to cost the state a significant amount of money.
01:00:29.000And next week, lawmakers will decide if the bills on that list pass or die without public discussion.
01:00:35.000But in today's discussion, Governor Newsom's Department of Finance said right off the bat the intentions of this bill are good, but strictly for money reasons, it's against SB 1414 because it will cost the state a lot and increase California's prison population.
01:01:11.000To say that it's going to cost tens of thousands of dollars to lock these individuals up that buy children for sex and it would roll back their prison exodus that they've been letting people out of prison is ridiculous.
01:01:23.000If you look at traumatized youth that have been bought and sold for sex, it costs the state upwards of $300,000 just for basic services.
01:01:33.000If you take a 13-year-old that you'd have to take care of until they're 18, And then not even that, but the trauma that that person as an adult would experience all their life.
01:01:42.000Lower income jobs, those kinds of things that dramatically affect these kids.
01:01:48.000Is it expensive to keep Jeffrey Epstein in prison?
01:01:52.000Well, what if he was... Did you take his shoelaces and his tie when you processed him?
01:01:58.000No, we actually left him with his shoelaces in his tie.
01:02:12.000Now another issue that has divided lawmakers over this bill, how it affects 16 and 17 year olds.
01:02:18.000For now, the bill as written gives district attorneys the ability to charge someone who buys these older teens for sex as either a misdemeanor or a felony.
01:02:27.000Grove is fighting to get this changed to have it be a felony no matter what across the board.
01:02:32.000She's asking the Appropriations Committee to make that change.
01:02:35.000We'll see how that shakes out when the committee makes its final decision on the bill next week.
01:02:40.000Make that change, as Michael Jackson used to say, and that's the only connection he has to that issue.
01:02:45.000Well, budgeting is a tricky thing and globalism is an issue that's going to define our time.
01:02:51.000The Epstein file still yet to be released.
01:02:54.000What a complicated Age we live in, baby.
