00:10:25.000We are getting some breaking news. We've got a live shot there.
00:10:27.000Join me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:10:35.000It's an extraordinary journey that we're about to undertake together in an extraordinary world.
00:10:41.000There are times when it's just enough to reflect that at least Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are getting on well.
00:10:48.000And actually, Kim Jong-un, if you take him out of context, and believe me, in the modern world where information is everywhere, fragmented and strewn in a never-ending montage of mis-dis and mal-information, It's hard to maintain context, but if you can take Kim Jong-un out of context, he's actually quite cute.
00:11:56.000But you know that the algorithm does not want you to become an awakened wonder.
00:12:02.000It does not want you to become critical.
00:12:05.000It wants you to find a silo either on the left or the right or be strewn and shipwrecked adrift in a culture that increasingly celebrates idiocy, It's not a mouse's hat!
00:12:25.000The Awakened Wonder chat is brilliant.
00:12:27.000That's where you can now, if you're a fan of The Chosen and Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, portrayed by Jonathan Rumi, that chat is up right now on locals.
00:12:36.000What we do for our Awakened Wonders is we put the content up earlier there to just give people a bit of time to, you know, get on with it.
00:12:43.000We've got some great guests coming up this week.
00:14:12.000Do you notice sometimes that stuff you've known for like ages now, like for example, possibly you've known that The United States and NATO countries to a degree provoked Putin's actions in invading Ukraine.
00:14:59.000If you want to trouble Bob Matthews with pictures of your genitalia, get on over to the Rumble chat.
00:15:08.000But you probably, possibly, I don't know, let me know in the chat, did you see Piers Morgan talking to Jeffrey Sachs, that brilliant academic, along with Mir Shaima, one of the people I think you can actually trust on the complexity of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, and that's what we want to cover today, the complexity.
00:15:25.000It ain't great that Ukrainian men are being forcibly conscripted.
00:15:29.000It ain't great that Russian holidaymakers in Crimea are being bombed with NATO weaponry or US weaponry.
00:15:38.000Fuckin' Frank, Russell, please tell me you didn't pay money for that hat.
00:15:42.000No, I stole it, actually, from a holiday.
00:16:20.000If you watched it on YouTube, you won't hear the music, because when we did a deal, of which I think was 25 grand, to use that content, right?
00:16:28.000It didn't, the contract didn't cover YouTube usage.
00:18:24.000We believe, in fact, that many of the world's problems, environmental, economic, social, cultural, spiritual, would be solved if we were able to bring down the titans as surely as David slew Goliath, that we may be free together.
00:18:38.000And create new principalities, new kingdoms, new freedoms.
00:19:21.000He claims that actually Joe Biden never shut himself that day.
00:19:26.000Now as you know that as a spiritual man, I take no delight in an elderly person defecating.
00:19:32.000I can't think of a context where I would delight in an elderly person defecating, perhaps on the toilet, on time, as a result of a high fiber diet.
00:22:25.000Let me ask you first, are you a Sleepy Joe type character with zero cognitive performance, struggling to muster focus and brain power for basic things like running the United States of America?
00:22:34.000You've got to stop drinking, woke Liberal coffee that hates you and your way of life and start your day by drinking Rumble's very own 1775 coffee.
00:22:44.000This is gonna be the best tasting coffee you've ever had.
00:22:47.000Seriously good, ethically sourced, from a family farm in the high altitude mountains of Bolivia.
00:22:53.000Not in the Bolivian lowlands run not by a family but by a single man still living with a pe- NO!
00:22:58.000Instead of waking up and drinking your big corporation owned woke ideology coffee that's probably making you sick from the piss inside it's sprayed with dry Uh, you know, my husband and I use the phrase, cheap fakes.
00:27:23.000That's all we can offer you, is an authentic take on CNN, Or legacy media elsewhere, or the origins of a particular conflict.
00:27:33.000We can't offer you what they do, which is a 360 global take on international politics or Domestic politics that excludes, oddly, nuance.
00:27:48.000That is a kind of streamlined approach to information.
00:27:51.000All of us are aware these days that if you watch one particular silo of information, you could be absolutely, resolutely certain that Israel's perspective on the Middle Eastern conflict is 100% correct, that they have their right to their sovereignty, but if you watched a different silo, you would have the exact opposite opinion.
00:28:13.000That this war has to be ended immediately, you would start describing it differently, and using certainly more aggressive language.
00:28:22.000The fact is, though, that we need to use these spaces to create nuance and conversation.
00:28:28.000And until we're able to do that, we're in pretty serious trouble.
00:28:32.000One of the people that understands this space pretty well, pretty well, is your man.
00:30:37.000Biden would have sniffed that wig right off.
00:30:39.000Joe Biden would have spent the rest of the day with that wig attached to his olfactory system, waiting for an appropriate moment to turn it into a diaper.
00:30:48.000Now that is not a cheap fake Brian Stelter.
00:30:54.000That is the absolute facts of the matter.
00:30:57.000Now let's get into today's main story.
00:30:59.000Putin, given that he's in charge of a major nuclear superpower, is doing what the hell he likes.
00:31:06.000Conducting diplomatic visits to North Korea.
00:31:11.000What's extraordinary about this, if you ask me, is the sheer volume of events they've managed to pack into one day.
00:31:17.000After we've watched this rather light-hearted piece of propaganda, after we've questioned the nature of pageantry, we'll get into the reality of this ongoing and escalating conflict and what might be likely to bring about an end to it.
00:31:33.000Because the problem is precisely this.
00:31:36.000Russia have relationships with North Korea.
00:31:38.000They have, curiously and perhaps now given this improving relationship with North Korea, relationships with China.
00:31:50.000That alternative set of global currencies that could bring down the dollar?
00:31:54.000It seems to me that what's happening at an ulterior level is a challenge for a unipolar world or whether or not there can be separate power bases in Russia, the United States, China, or God, get this, more and more decentralized nodes so that all of us have more access and control over the institutions that affect our own lives rather than allowing this sort of casual drift
00:32:21.000Towards a unipolar, globalist, corporatist world in order that we're safe and protected.
00:32:27.000Let's enjoy for a moment Putin and Kim Jong-un driving around together.
00:32:32.000I'm quite curious to see that Vladimir Putin is actually driving himself.
00:34:22.000Don't you feel more and more that you would just like to focus on domestic issues, domestic infrastructure?
00:34:27.000Stay out of foreign wars, focus on supporting the people that are in America, protect America.
00:34:32.000What about what's happening in my country, the UK?
00:34:35.000Increasingly it seems like the UK doesn't want to be part of Europe.
00:34:37.000Of course there's ongoing conversations about Brexit and whether Brexit was executed correctly or whether Brexit was the correct thing to do, but more and more when I speak to people Actual people, I mean people that aren't caught up in media and professional urbane classes, seems that what people really want to do is get on and live their own lives without the ongoing fear that they're going to have either state or corporate intervention in their own lives, that the rules are going to change around them, that there's going to be less economic opportunity, less ability to have sovereignty and control in your own individual life.
00:35:11.000When you see this, this is North Korea doing their thing.
00:35:14.000This is them saying, We're a country, we're doing our shit, and we've got our own relationship with Russia.
00:35:20.000It's not just North Korea are the baddies, or Russia is the baddies, or even the UK is the baddie, or God, let's take it even further, any particular political party or individual within them is either good or evil, as Solzhenitsyn says, and I continually remind you that the line between good and evil runs not between nations, states, religions, creeds, or even Korea.
00:35:41.000It's not South Korea good with like very like top sucker stars populating the world and North Korea bad with that adorable man toddler leading it.
00:35:51.000It's a complex thing and Russia can continue to assert their own dominance and their own political will upon the world and they can't be stopped.
00:36:02.000What I enjoy is actually seeing how it's propagandized and how it's sort of sentimentalized.
00:36:07.000Do you think that this is a This is a kind of demonstration of masterful editing.
00:36:11.000Surely Putin and Kim Jong-un aren't waving to each other quite as enthusiastically as this viral video suggests
00:36:42.000I can't imagine that they're waving that many times.
00:36:45.000Now, on button 30 on the deck, which is the next page of the deck, guys, there's an Observer story.
00:36:50.000Now, as you know, the Observer is a legacy media organisation, and as such, will find various ways of carrying the message that the establishment wants you to hear.
00:37:00.000They are indeed, as we discussed when talking about the theme tune to this very show, sending the government's letters right to you.
00:37:08.000to ensure that you stay on point and correctly propagandized.
00:37:13.000Here's their take on Putin's visit to North Korea.
00:37:20.000So he talked about Putin's visits to North Korea and Vietnam, and it caused a lot of consternation, writes The Guardian, but this I believe is in The Observer, which is a subset, it's the same legacy media outlet, among Western powers, which was undoubtedly his intention.
00:37:33.000The Russian president is keen to demonstrate that notwithstanding the widespread condemnation of his illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing diplomatic ostracism and sanctions, he still has international support and can raise the cost to his opponents of continued backing for Kiev.
00:37:49.000If anyone doubted the extent to which the war in Ukraine has become a truly global issue, here was conclusive proof of its almost universal impact.
00:37:57.000Putin and North Korea's dictator Kim Jong Un signed a mutual defence treaty that commits each country to provide military assistance to the other with all means at its disposal in the event of the attack.
00:38:09.000The treaty represents a significant boost for Kim's isolated regime and for Putin's efforts with China to build up an anti-democratic, anti-Western international alliance.
00:38:22.000Might I ask, what is the sole basis for NATO intervention into the Ukraine-Russia conflict?
00:38:28.000Do you, whatever the complexities of this situation might be, believe anywhere, in any iota, in any modicum, In any cell of your being that NATO and the military-industrial complex are doing this because they care about Ukrainian people, Ukrainian buildings, Ukrainian children?
00:38:45.000Or do you imagine that whatever treaty is being enacted in order to facilitate the supply of weapons that are being used now on Russian territory, do you imagine that it's humanitarian?
00:38:57.000Do you imagine that open border policy is about humanitarianism?
00:39:01.000Do you imagine that their policies in COVID were about humanitarianism?
00:39:08.000Any inkling, any thread, any tendril, any synapse that isn't fulfilled with dread every time one of these bureaucracies says, we've got a plan to help you.
00:39:18.000I know you're doing that Reagan quote right now.
00:39:20.000I'm from the government, I'm here to help.
00:39:22.000The nine most terrifying words in the English language, or however many it is.
00:39:26.000The simple truth is, North Korea and Russia can have a treaty, if they want to, in the same way, I suppose, that the United States of America and Ukraine can have a treaty.
00:39:35.000The same way that Zelensky can crop up at the Golden Globes and say, thank you Black Rock, thank you Goldman Sachs, keep funding this war, American taxpayers, peace out.
00:39:44.000That is an extraordinary use of soft power meets military power.
00:39:49.000And indeed, it becomes clear over the course of the evolving conversation around the attacks on the beach in Crimea that Russia are fully well aware that it takes American military expertise to continue these attacks.
00:40:01.000While we are glibly supporting, or maybe I'll take some responsibility for myself, opposing this war and all current conflicts that we are involved in in any way, we should consider We should consider that Russia and many of the people affected by these wars don't see it as a kind of, oh, you know, let's just put a flag in the bio and just breezily support some issue.
00:40:23.000Wave some flag from another land and just hope that history will understand.
00:40:28.000Because what we're engaging in, in all honesty, in all seriousness, is increasingly beginning to resemble the scenarios that preceded both of the world wars in the last century.
00:40:40.000And my personal horror Is this, that the people that lead us believe that their power can withstand global conflict and in fact will be enhanced by it.
00:40:52.000If you consider that a health crisis and an economic crisis for the majority of people led to a wealth transfer, increased power for the elites that govern, for want of a better phrase, do you not think that in the same shady cadres where those decisions were cooked up, what's that event?
00:41:11.000Do you not imagine that by now they're beginning to consider, well we got our Hawaiian bunkers baby, we'll live through it, we'll be fine.
00:41:20.000Update the rumble chat for us guys if you don't mind.
00:41:23.000Don't you imagine that they're already beginning to believe that a nuclear war for them is not the same as a nuclear war for you.
00:41:32.000The treaty represents a significant boost for Kim's isolated regime and for Putin's efforts with China to build up an anti-democratic, anti-Western international alliance.
00:41:41.000Just again, I'll just remind you that elections are suspended in Ukraine.
00:41:46.000I'll just remind you that even in your country, my country, all our countries, the power Of big tech to manipulate and control narratives is such that you can't really claim democracy in our countries anymore.
00:41:58.000Is it really democracy as intended by the Greeks or by the founding fathers?
00:42:03.000I know what you're saying, Republic, Republic, I hear you, I hear you, I see your comments.
00:42:06.000Do you really think that their intention was a couple of barely distinguishable parties controlled by the same undergirding squabbling in a leather-bound Oak-clad room claiming it is on behalf of ordinary people.
00:42:26.000The deal directly contradicted Russia's past support for UN Security Council, council sanctions intended to rein Pyongyang's proliferating regionally destabilizing nuclear weapons and missiles programs.
00:42:40.000Putin linked such mooted arms supplies to Western arms supplies Putin links such mooted arms supplies to Western arms supplies to Ukraine and in particular Biden administration's recent decision to allow its longer-range missiles to be used by Kiev to hit targets inside Russia.
00:42:56.000As usual, Putin claims to be acting in response to provocative Western actions when in reality it is he who's doing the escalating.
00:43:04.000There's no doubt who bears the primary responsibility for this destructive spiral.
00:43:08.000The country that believes it's okay to invade another's sovereign territory.
00:43:12.000I just wonder how the writer of that article would contend with CIA intervention in the 2014 maiden coup, the use of US-made weapons in Russian territory, the various CIA bases across Ukraine, the numerous pledges that have been broken.
00:43:31.000When the Berlin Wall came down and Germany was reunified, It was agreed between the United States and of America and the Soviet Union that there would be no impeding upon former Soviet territories.
00:46:19.000Now, think about how the Guardian would review this show.
00:46:22.000They'd say, Brand was shilling American insurance, he was selling Rumble's coffee.
00:46:29.000They're so haughty and hateful and loathing of the ordinary men and women of American malls, of the ordinary men and women of British streets.
00:46:46.000Brian Stelter, Brain is an unfortunate slip because, let's face it, he appears to be lacking one in all but the most basic facility.
00:46:54.000They would happily claim, you know, I can understand because I watched the entire 40 minutes and I can see Joe Biden shitting himself in context!
00:47:38.000All you have to do is watch Yeah, watch me by all means, but watch Jeffrey Sachs or John Mearsheimer or watch any of the many experts that will plucidly inform you of history, not opinions, history and what has led to these events.
00:47:56.000And you will understand that what legacy media give you is propaganda.
00:48:01.000That even in the ridiculous spectacle of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un parading quite literally around releasing children's balloons.
00:48:08.000All you're watching is their version of what we do all the time.
00:48:13.000And wouldn't it be easier for all of us if we were able to break out of our own heads and for a moment understand As Edward Said famously wrote in Orientalism, that we have different perspectives and different views, all of us.
00:48:28.000You might believe that one culture is superior to another, another civilization is superior to another.
00:49:22.000You are the wind beneath our wings making our feathers so bright and breezy, baby.
00:49:27.000Now let's see what's been going on in Crimea.
00:49:30.000Let's have a look at the real price of war.
00:49:33.000Let's have a look at Nigel Farage, British populist leader's opinions on the origins of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the attacks that he has subsequently received on the BBC from mainstream political parties.
00:49:48.000Let's watch this together and understand it.
00:49:50.000Let's have a look at Piers Morgan and Jeffrey Sachs Seemingly discovering for the first time some complex truths about the origin of this war.
00:50:02.000And then we'll get to maybe Andrew Cuomo on the Trump trial.
00:50:05.000That's pretty revelatory and pretty interesting in itself.
00:50:09.000But first, let's look at the events on this beach in Crimea, which are pretty disturbing and awful actually.
00:50:26.000All right, so let's have a look at Piers Morgan and Jeffrey Sachs for a minute, just to set this up, because this is probably a point in the argument that you guys have been at for some time.
00:50:34.000You seem very reliant on accepting Putin's worldview, rather than perhaps the stark reality of the barbarism with which he's executed this war.
00:50:47.000Yeah, maybe because I know too much about the United States.
00:50:51.000Because the first war in Europe after World War II was the U.S.
00:50:55.000bombing of Belgrade for 78 days to change borders of a European state.
00:52:14.000I happened to see some of that with my own eyes.
00:52:16.000The U.S. overthrew Yanukovych together with right-wing Ukrainian military forces.
00:52:25.000We overthrew a president and what's interesting by the way is we overthrew Yanukovych the day after The European Union representatives had reached an agreement with Yanukovych to have early elections, a government of national unity, and a stand-down of both sides.
00:53:03.000And within hours, the United States says, yes, we support the new government.
00:53:08.000It didn't say, oh, we had an agreement.
00:53:10.000That's unconstitutional, what you did.
00:53:13.000So we overthrew a government, contrary to a promise that the European Union had made.
00:53:20.000And by the way, Russia The United States and the EU were parties to that agreement, and the United States, an hour afterwards, backed the coup.
00:53:32.000Okay, so everyone's got a little bit to answer for.
00:53:36.000In 2015, the Russians did not say, we want the Donbass back.
00:53:44.000They said peace should come through negotiations, and negotiations between I don't know how Brian Stelter would handle this because we just watched, I think, two and a half minutes there of Jeffrey Sachs, who's been on this show several times, probably over a year ago now, explaining to us what he just explained to Piers Morgan, who, to give him credit, quietly listened while Jeffrey Sachs gave us a view so contradictory to what we would read in our own neoliberal legacy media outlets that it amounts to an entirely distinct and different reality.
00:54:22.000At the moment, we're being told that there's a crisis in our democracies.
00:54:26.000In Europe in particular, people are concerned about what they call the rise of the right.
00:54:31.000In British politics, we're seeing Nigel Farage garner popularity at a rate that is alarming for establishment figures.
00:54:38.000But I suspect even more deeply than that, we're in a climate where people are beginning to deeply mistrust authority.
00:55:15.000Like, for a while I've been saying, this system's gonna fall apart, man.
00:55:19.000Now, I don't have the Nostradamus-like perspicacity to foretell precisely what political hue it will be of, but what increasingly seems likely It ain't gonna come out of liberal leftist spaces because they are, it seems, all too willing to parrot the talking points of the establishment.
00:55:38.000And maybe it'll change when there are right-wing governments in power in every major nation.
00:55:43.000Maybe then it'll be the left advocating for freedom.
00:55:46.000Certainly we've seen some interesting switcheroos around issues in the Middle East.
00:55:51.000People changing their perspectives on free speech and right to protest.
00:55:57.000Makes me question what the virtues and principles behind all of this are.
00:56:01.000But here's Nigel Farage saying that he, some time ago, said that NATO countries have been provoking Russia.
00:56:11.000And Nigel Farage, in this country, as we said on a previous show, is the closest thing that there is in Britain to a Donald Trump.
00:56:18.000Lot of people still loathe Nigel Farage, certainly people in the establishment loathe Nigel Farage, certainly liberal, you know, the kind of people that write that Guardian article, I guess, loathe Nigel Farage and what my own reservations would be, I suppose, is about When most of your ideas are predicated on border control, I see the significance of that.
00:56:39.000I see how important it is to ensure that ordinary working people have the ability to command good wages in the job market.
00:56:46.000I was pretty struck when George Galloway made the same point, and hey, George Galloway is a pretty left-wing politician, and when you see people from what would once have been regarded as, well, once would have been regarded as the normal left, but now gets kind of called the extreme left, and people on the right saying that immigration is a bloody issue, There needs to be some control over our borders and whatever you think, whatever you think the motivation behind the various migration crises in numerous nations is, it ain't that the establishment really cares about helping vulnerable people.
00:57:19.000Let's have a look at a few things Nigel Farage has said on this issue and for a moment query what this means about the rise of populism and what this means about the change in media spaces because the problem is now that Jeffrey Sachs is out there saying that Brian Stelter is going to have to desperately claim that you have to watch 40 minutes of Joe Biden to tell whether or not he's shat himself.
00:57:40.000But most of us can use our own eyes in the blink of one to determine what's going on with the establishment.
00:57:46.000And there's certainly a lot more mysterious and stinking things going on than the contents of Joe Biden's underpants.
00:57:53.000What we have to look at now is what the likely political response is going to be as people in droves and en masse stop trusting the media and the judiciary and all of our institutions.
00:58:06.000Here's Nigel Farage on the BBC and I recently watched a Nigel Farage speech and when he spoke out against the BBC and in particular the tax that British people pay to fund the BBC, it was one of the sort of high points People hate the establishment.
00:58:45.000It was obvious to me that the ever eastward expansion of NATO and the European Union was giving this man a reason To his Russian people to say they're coming for us again and to go to war.
00:59:16.000He's used what we've done as an excuse.
00:59:18.000But we provoke the invasion of Ukraine.
00:59:19.000Yes, and very interestingly, once again, ten years ago when I predicted this, by the way, I'm the only person in British politics that predicted what would happen.
00:59:26.000And of course, everyone said I was a pariah for daring to suggest it.
00:59:30.000George Robertson, former Labour Cabinet Minister, who went on to become the Secretary General of NATO, has in the last couple of weeks said the war is a direct result of EU expansion.
00:59:42.000I'm asking you because it's your judgment you want to be prime minister let me ask you about someone else.
00:59:46.000My judgment has been way ahead of everybody else's in understanding this.
00:59:50.000Pretty amazing how the legacy media handles this and it's pretty amazing too to see how establishment politicians respond to this in conjunction with legacy media in the UK using the kind of rhetoric that anyone that followed media around the second world war particularly obviously in retrospect given the likely age that you are We'll see that it chimed and echoed with the type of propaganda that we were familiar with then.
01:00:23.000The desire to arm the rebels in Syria has been the unnecessary provocation of Vladimir Putin.
01:00:29.000This EU empire, ever seeking to expand, stated its territorial claim on the Ukraine some years ago.
01:00:36.000Just to make that worse, of course, some NATO members said they too would like the Ukraine to join NATO.
01:00:43.000We directly encouraged the uprising in the Ukraine that led to the toppling of the President Yanukovych, and that led of course in turn to Vladimir Putin reacting.
01:00:55.000And the moral of the story is if you poke the Russian bear with a stick, don't be surprised when he reacts.
01:01:03.000Now, just to continue with that, today we are rushing through an association agreement at undue speed with the Ukraine.
01:01:12.000And as we speak, there are NATO soldiers engaged in military exercises in the Ukraine.
01:01:21.000Do we actually want to have a war with Putin?
01:01:24.000Because if we do, we're certainly going about it the right way.
01:01:28.000Perhaps we ought to recognise That the West now faces the biggest threat and crisis to our way of life that we have seen for over 70 years.
01:01:38.000The recent beheadings of the British and American hostages graphically illustrates the problem.
01:01:44.000And of course we have our own citizens from our own countries engaged in that struggle too.
01:01:48.000In the war against Islamic extremism Vladimir Putin, whatever we may think of him as a human being, is actually on our side.
01:01:57.000I suggest we grow up I suggest we recognise the real threat facing all of our countries, communities and societies.
01:02:05.000We stop playing war games in the Ukraine and we start to prepare a plan to help countries like Syria, like Iraq, like Kenya, like indeed Nigeria, to try and help them to deal with the real threat that faces us.
01:02:19.000Let's not go on provoking Putin whether we like him or not.
01:02:24.000Let me know if you'd like to see us have a conversation with Nigel Farage in the chat, particularly You Awaken Wonders, because many people are saying that they will vote for reform, but a lot of people have got questions about the funding of reform and whether or not Farage remains ultimately an affiliate of the financial industry.
01:02:46.000Openly, let me know if you'd be into seeing that.
01:02:49.000Certainly it's interesting to see Nigel Farage talking about this war that will affect all of us, regardless of our political affiliations.
01:02:56.000And it makes you, in a sense, recognize that there might be points in history where unusual alliances have to take place.
01:03:03.000Where perhaps a kind of tokenistic liberalism might not have the necessary potency required to overthrow an establishment that seems pretty determined to lead us, to marshal us into what looks increasingly like potential nuclear war.
01:03:19.000You tell me what you feel when you see Vladimir Putin on an Asian tour.
01:03:24.000Tell me what you feel When you see that American military equipment is being used on Russian soil.
01:03:31.000Tell me even what you feel when you equate what is happening now with what Joe Biden said just a couple of years ago.
01:04:03.000I say good for Putin, says Kellyanne Katz.
01:04:06.000Lots of interesting views among the awakened wonders there.
01:04:10.000And my God, it seems to me that across the political spectrum in most of the kind of anglophonic nations, as well as many nations in Europe, people want significant and real change and increasingly don't really care I'm not so sure.
01:04:25.000they get it. They want control of their own country, they want control of their
01:04:28.000own borders and in a democracy or any electoral process worthy of the name, the
01:04:33.000will of the people, ought be able to be exacted and enacted through the ballot.
01:04:38.000Is that what's happening in your country? I'm not so sure.
01:04:41.000It seems to me that unless these institutions become a little more reliable and
01:04:45.000a little more transparent and significantly more accountable, they may
01:04:49.000collapse. But hey Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and chat.

01:04:59.000And remember, if you're watching this on Rumble, to subscribe here on Rumble and consider becoming an Awakened Wando, because we make...
01:05:05.000Incredible content for our members, for our supporters, who we love, like you, Dday99, and you, Curious Carmella, like this, a revisiting of my conversation with the Westbury Baptist Church.
01:05:16.000How, since I've become a Christian, do I feel about the conversation I had with such devout and radical Christians over 10 years ago?
01:05:24.000Up until recently, it was certainly one of the most viral clips on YouTube, and Lord alone knows they shadow the band the hell out of that stuff these days.
01:06:12.000Let me know what you think of it, Barb182, and let me know what you think in the rumble chat, you poor souls, under a continual artillery rain of cyber attacks, it seems.
01:06:23.000So, let's have a look now at Bill Maher talking to Andrew Cuomo.
01:06:28.000This is an interesting take from the former attorney on, or, you know, actually the Attorney General of New York State, on what... Yeah, is that what he is?
01:06:39.000Let's have a look at what he's saying about the Trump trial and whether or not that trial would even have taken place if it were, yeah I do still have that poster, if it were not for his very particular surname.
01:06:56.000The one he got convicted for was the greatest fundraising bonanza ever.
01:07:01.000He is now, he was lagging behind Biden and now he's pulled quite a bit ahead.
01:07:05.000That trial was the greatest reason people had to send their checks for 5, 10, 25, whatever dollars to Donald Trump.
01:07:15.000And I was always with you on the one in New York, the hush money trial.
01:07:18.000I don't think they should have brought that one.
01:07:20.000It was just always going to look like a sex case and people were always just going to look at it that way.
01:07:26.000That case, the Attorney General's case in New York, frankly, should have never been brought.
01:07:30.000And if his name was not Donald Trump, and if he wasn't running for president from the former AG in New York, I'm telling you that case would have never been brought.
01:07:39.000And that's what is offensive to people.
01:07:50.000Essentially it's becoming not people that are Republicans or people of the right or people online who have their doubts about the nature of that trial and the lawfare that continues to prevail across the United States of America and the inability to conduct a legitimate campaign.
01:08:04.000Seems now that the establishment is collapsing in on himself.
01:08:07.000I don't know what Andrew Cuomo's game is or what he wants to achieve now or whether he's getting back into politics.
01:08:25.000I hope you guys survived those cyber attacks out there.
01:08:29.000We will be back tomorrow when we'll be joined by...
01:08:32.000The Coast Guy, Neil Oliver, will be joining me for the entire hour tomorrow for conversations on matters such as these.
01:08:40.000And please consider becoming an Awakened Wonder to get access immediately to our conversation with Jonathan Rumi on The Chosen, talking about faith and life And death, and God, and maybe join us for the occasional meditation.
01:08:53.000I love you guys, like you, Ellen Sophia, and you, Alonso Photo, and you, I am Steve Rhino, and you, Frank Dick, and FlowerPower678.
