Stay Free - Russel Brand - “THREE ON ONE” ABC Moderators BLASTED For Kamala Bias In GANG UP On Trump - DEBATE REACTION! - SF450

00:00:00.000 (birds chirping)

00:02:02.000 (upbeat music)

00:02:06.000 Brought to you by Pfizer.

00:02:12.000 In this video, In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:02:30.000 Hello you Awakening Wonders.

00:02:32.000 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand post-debate analysis special.

00:02:38.000 Was it, in truth and in effect, the moderators Ankamala versus Trump?

00:02:45.000 Was it the point where triviality usurped Armageddon as a talking point?

00:02:51.000 What do we care more about?

00:02:53.000 Cats being eaten or a potential nuclear war?

00:02:56.000 Let me know in the comments and the chat who you thought won and how you felt in particular it was moderated.

00:03:03.000 Is it going to be chalked off as another victory for the legacy media?

00:03:08.000 It's one of those moments when you have to recognize that indeed America is a divided land.

00:03:14.000 You will know if you look across a variety of media sources that the Democrats are likely hailing this as an astonishing victory, that Kamala was forthright and strong.

00:03:25.000 Personally, what I felt while watching it live for our live watch-along party with beloved bear there, was that we moved between generalizations and generalities and when we got into the specificity of policy, it felt lost and adrift in the midst of Peculiar, emotional, grandstanding and performance.

00:03:46.000 But that's just what I think.

00:03:47.000 Let me know what you think.

00:03:48.000 Remember, our AwakendWonder community got not only access to the debate watch along live, but also the debate predictions, which I imagine all came perfectly true.

00:03:58.000 I'll be looking at that a little later.

00:04:00.000 These are some of the posts on X that I think give you a flavour of how this has been viewed in what you might call right-wing spaces, given that the first one is Matt Walsh.

00:04:10.000 Ironically, the moderators are winning this debate for Trump by being so insanely lopsided and biased against him.

00:04:17.000 They're now the story of the night, which is a win for Trump.

00:04:19.000 Of course, there is a good deal of lopsidedness, particularly on the behalf of ABC's Most famous, lopsided, sideways facing anchor, David Muir.

00:04:31.000 Gutfeld, a friend of the show says, this debate is no longer about Trump versus Harris, it's about moderators obediently picking a side. 1.00

00:04:38.000 ABC is a shit show. 0.99

00:04:39.000 Let me know in the comments and chat, do you think we'll see another debate now? 1.00

00:04:43.000 Is it likely that there'll be a Fox debate?

00:04:47.000 Heaven forbid an online debate.

00:04:49.000 Imagine this debate on Rumble.

00:04:51.000 Imagine if a journalist like Glenn Greenwald here who says David Muir is criticizing and attacking Trump more than Kamala is.

00:04:57.000 Kamala can relax because the ABC moderators are handling the debate for her.

00:05:01.000 I mean, if you want to see a moment where it becomes sort of perfectly clear that what we're operating in is a curated space, it's this one, I think, when the subject of race is brought to the forefront.

00:05:15.000 Remember, it's that the questions that are asked sets the tone.

00:05:19.000 The questions that are not asked reveal the agenda because, in a sense, don't you really want to ultimately address economic decline, ideological despair and potential approaching Armageddon?

00:05:32.000 Try to hold those issues in mind and which candidate do you believe does a better job of representing those issues?

00:05:39.000 Many of us believe in anti-establishment candidates And that's how Trump was regarded in 2016.

00:05:44.000 I know many of you adore Trump to this day.

00:05:47.000 And many of us are mobilized by the entry of RFK in spite of the areas where you would say, oh, well, it doesn't seem to be in line with interests, for example, when it comes to Middle Eastern issues, precisely because he is a person that will continually identify the problems of big food, the problems of big pharma, The problems of lobbying and the donor class, the very kind of institutions and interests that I suppose all of us are mentally referencing when we think of a phrase like drain the swamp.

00:06:17.000 Let me know in the comments and in the chat, do you think this was classic Trump?

00:06:21.000 The Trump of "you'd be in jail" or the Trump of the 2016 or 2015 rather primaries?

00:06:30.000 Or do you feel that something has been lost?

00:06:34.000 And if so, do you think that's because of the moderation or do you think that something else is at play?

00:06:39.000 Let's have a look at the moment where race was brought to the forefront.

00:06:43.000 And I would say that potentially this is one of the indicators of ABC bias.

00:06:48.000 But hey, let me know.

00:06:49.000 We're trying to maintain our own neutrality over here.

00:06:52.000 I want to move on now to race and politics in this country.

00:06:55.000 Mr. President, you recently said of Vice President Harris, quote, I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black.

00:07:04.000 Now, the reason I point this out is precisely because it's a moment that is contentious.

00:07:09.000 It's a moment that in a sense, what can Donald Trump say here that's going to be positive,

00:07:17.000 that's going to advance the conversation, that's going to look anything other than unpleasant?

00:07:21.000 Whether or not there was deliberate and definitive collusion between the Kamala campaign and

00:07:27.000 the ABC moderators is in a sense secondary, because as your great George Carlin says,

00:07:33.000 where interests align, conspiracy is unnecessary.

00:07:38.000 If interests converge is already a type of conspiracy.

00:07:42.000 What we have is an institutional conspiracy and the successes of early Trump were based on the sense that through his bombast, occasional hubris and error he still represented a force that was going to be disruptive.

00:07:56.000 Do you believe he still represents that force?

00:07:59.000 And will it be possible for that force to succeed as these institutions seem to be able

00:08:04.000 to manage the space excellently?

00:08:06.000 And by manage the space I mean keep the focus on issues that I, you know, my personal position

00:08:11.000 is that that that subject don't put Trump in a good light.

00:08:14.000 When Trump is succeeding is when you're talking about, hold on, why are we talking about cats

00:08:19.000 and whether or not people are eating cats when potentially we might all be eating one

00:08:23.000 another's pets in a post apocalyptic nightmare.

00:08:27.000 I want to ask a bigger picture question here tonight.

00:08:29.000 Why do you believe it's appropriate to weigh in on the racial identity of your opponent?

00:08:34.000 I don't, and I don't care.

00:08:35.000 I don't care what she is.

00:08:37.000 I don't care.

00:08:39.000 In a way, that is the kind of... Is that not the desired attitude when it comes to race?

00:08:48.000 Like, when I think of my personal position, I want to not care.

00:08:51.000 I want to be beyond it.

00:08:52.000 I recognize there are complex histories and issues, cultural and racial identity issues that are playing out across the world, but what would be The vision, surely it's a transcendent attitude towards race.

00:09:05.000 So I suppose many of you will think, oh, that was a good response.

00:09:07.000 But the question itself, why do you think it's not?

00:09:10.000 Look, I'm going to take a sideways look at you.

00:09:12.000 And from this eye of mine, from this judgmental, my little judgmental eye, I'm going to ask you, why did you feel it was necessary to do that?

00:09:20.000 Come on.

00:09:21.000 Whatever she wants to be is OK with me.

00:09:23.000 But those were your words.

00:09:24.000 So I don't know.

00:09:25.000 I don't know.

00:09:25.000 I mean, all I can say is I read where she was not black.

00:09:29.000 That she put out.

00:09:31.000 And I'll say that. 0.92

00:09:33.000 And then I read that she was black. 0.98

00:09:35.000 And that's OK. 0.74

00:09:36.000 Either one was OK with me.

00:09:37.000 That's up to her.

00:09:39.000 That's up to her.

00:09:39.000 Vice President Harris, your thoughts on this?

00:09:43.000 I think it's I mean, honestly, I think it's a tragedy that we have someone who wants to be president who has consistently over the course of his career Over the course of this show, we'll be looking at some of Kamala's moments that were extraordinary and unsettling, and some of the moments where you feel like, oh yeah, this is vintage Trump.

00:10:08.000 But surely our collective responsibility is to maintain a focus on the macro issues.

00:10:13.000 Are we on the precipice of Armageddon?

00:10:16.000 Are we through globalization?

00:10:17.000 seeing increasing technocracy and centralisation of power continually legitimised by crisis?

00:10:24.000 Did something extraordinary take place with the usurping and replacement of Biden?

00:10:29.000 Was that a strategic move that looks to be successful?

00:10:33.000 And if indeed it is a success, what does that tell us about the true nature of politics?

00:10:39.000 That one minute we're told Biden is fine, don't criticise his age, there's nothing wrong with him, and then we pivot to a campaign that's about, oh look Trump is old, like I bet you'll see in liberal spaces a lot of talk about Trump's age and whether or not Trump, like the vitality of Kamala, and in a way The line that runs down the center of the screen to divide the two candidates is almost not metaphorical.

00:11:06.000 There's almost two literal worlds available to us where we can consume distinct and separate biased information that is favorable to enforcing the biases that we already possess.

00:11:18.000 But what Seems to me to be excluded by the frame of the screen are incredibly important issues about power, about war, and how those issues, in a sense, nullify and cuckold all of us when it comes to personal freedom and even something as diffuse, rare, and abstract as hope.

00:11:38.000 Hope!

00:11:38.000 Do you remember when everything was about hope?

00:11:40.000 For a moment at the outset of the debate, it was even extraordinary to see the two candidates in the same frame.

00:11:47.000 I was sort of watching it Live with my dog was almost like it was like sighting a Yeti and a Loch Ness Monster.

00:11:55.000 I'm not making claims about either of the candidates.

00:11:58.000 It seemed like an anathema to see them in the same space.

00:12:01.000 They're such disparate and distinct individuals.

00:12:03.000 And yet, from the Overteen Window perspective, look at the issues that are being discussed and look at the issues that aren't being discussed.

00:12:10.000 For example, when the pandemic came to the forefront, it was fascinating to see the amount of restrictions.

00:12:15.000 But let's first have a look at the initiation of the entire debate, the ceremonial handshake that must precede such matters.

00:12:24.000 Vice President Kamala Harris and President Donald Trump.

00:12:28.000 Kamala Harris, let's have a good debate.

00:12:37.000 Good to see you, have fun.

00:12:38.000 Thank you.

00:12:40.000 Welcome to you both.

00:12:41.000 It's wonderful to have you.

00:12:42.000 It's an honor to have you both here tonight.

00:12:44.000 Good evening.

00:12:45.000 We are looking forward to a spirited and thoughtful debate.

00:12:48.000 Let's hope it's spirited and thoughtful, and let's hope we don't get distracted or not unduly biased.

00:12:54.000 Let's hope that we don't set up questions that entirely appear to be designed at least to favor one of the candidates.

00:13:02.000 Now let's get on with that now. 1.00

00:13:05.000 Donald Trump, why are you such a racist bastard, you son of a bitch? 1.00

00:13:10.000 Now, the new, the very much, let's be unburdened by what might have been, appears to be, let's turn the page on this, let's not go back. 1.00

00:13:20.000 It was a night when a new catchphrase was launched.

00:13:24.000 Those of us thinking that the, let's be unburdened by what might not have been, those of us that are beginning to miss that, Now can enjoy let's turn the page let's not go back and see yourself turning a page and very much going forward.

00:13:39.000 This election is not to his liking let's turn the page on this let's not go back let's chart a course for the future and not go backwards to the past.

00:13:51.000 Let me just follow up here It was a different term and it was a term that related to energy because they have... One of the things that doesn't appear to matter is when you hear Trump condemned for saying, for example, there will be a bloodbath or another example is I'll be a dictator but for only a day.

00:14:12.000 The four clips are available.

00:14:14.000 You can see that in the bloodbath example, he's talking about trade tariffs to China, and in the dictator for a day example, he's making a joke about the wall and about drilling.

00:14:27.000 What Trump's detractors and attackers will say is that he's using a kind of live mnemonic device where he's dropping words like bloodbath, painting a kind of vivid picture filled with verbal sigils that evoke ideas of Armageddon.

00:14:46.000 Not what I feel is happening.

00:14:48.000 I think he has a very particular rhetorical style and I think that we've gotten to a point of such mutual hysteria that we're kind of electing out of some kind of mutual shared will to remain unconscious To properly track the fact that bizarre events have taken place in the run-up to this election.

00:15:12.000 It's not that long ago there was an assassination attempt.

00:15:15.000 It appears the likelihood of war is increasing hourly.

00:15:22.000 Because of affiliations with global alliances, whether that's, you know, in the example I'm using now, NATO, those issues aren't being correctly brought to the forefront.

00:15:31.000 They came up once or twice, but do you think that they were vigorously interrogated?

00:15:37.000 You did get a few moments, I felt, of Trump being Trump.

00:15:42.000 And it was usually when referring to Joe Biden.

00:15:45.000 Kamala Harris very keen to point out a new Democratic Party trope.

00:15:50.000 You're not fighting against Biden, you're fighting against me.

00:15:52.000 And conducting the brinkmanship rather well of saying, like, of respecting peculiarly or honoring the odd warped legacy of Biden while continually presenting herself as a progression and an advancement.

00:16:07.000 But as Trump said in his closing remarks, Kamala Harris is in government right now.

00:16:13.000 Sometimes, I don't know how you feel about this, let me know in the comments, you're so caught up in the constant pumping out of toxic ephemera that you can't even remain focused on.

00:16:23.000 Hold on.

00:16:24.000 You are in government.

00:16:26.000 Is there going to be a war?

00:16:27.000 What are we going to do about inflation?

00:16:29.000 Are you concerned about the border or not?

00:16:30.000 Is fracking good or is fracking not good?

00:16:33.000 What's our position on all this?

00:16:34.000 Whilst Trump's Malapropisms and claims, for example the immigration and cat moment, are very vivid and clear.

00:16:43.000 What you'll get from materialist liberalism is a general fog of deceit and deception and distraction that's harder to discern and therefore sort of less easy to condemn.

00:16:56.000 Let's have a look at the vintage moments of Trump where he does what he does best, witty maxims that are designed to evoke a humorous response.

00:17:06.000 ...lead to World War 3.

00:17:07.000 Don't kid yourself, David.

00:17:09.000 We're playing with World War 3, and we have a president that we don't even know if he's... Where is our president?

00:17:15.000 Okay, we can't continue this conversation on YouTube for so many reasons.

00:17:19.000 Click the link in the description to join us to look at their position on the significant issue of war.

00:17:26.000 We don't even know if he's a president.

00:17:28.000 And just to clarify here.

00:17:29.000 They threw him out of a campaign like a dog.

00:17:31.000 We don't even know.

00:17:31.000 some of Trump's best moments and some of the moments that I'm sure will have

00:17:35.000 Democrats clamoring and claiming that Kamala is the second coming. Click the

00:17:41.000 link in the description. See you over on Rumble.

00:17:44.000 We don't even know if he's a president.

00:17:45.000 And just to clarify here.

00:17:46.000 They threw him out of a campaign like a dog. We don't even know. Is he our president?

00:17:51.000 Right, so I guess a lot of you say in the chat that this is Trump bringing your

00:17:54.000 attention to issues that do need to be addressed.

00:17:57.000 We could be on the precipice of a war with Vladimir Putin.

00:18:00.000 Nothing's being done to de-escalate that situation.

00:18:03.000 It seems to me that there's an appetite to continue funding it.

00:18:06.000 Isn't it really peculiar that between these two debates, the Trump-Biden debate and now the Trump-Kamala one, Joe Biden is sort of been put in this odd position where he's still president.

00:18:15.000 Who's making decisions right now?

00:18:16.000 Who's actually the president in this moment?

00:18:19.000 What is the chain of command?

00:18:21.000 Who is legislating?

00:18:22.000 Who's regulating?

00:18:23.000 Who is the commander-in-chief?

00:18:25.000 So there are moments amidst it, in spite of the restrictive conditions, where you're able to see, yeah, like that Trump, who famously doesn't prepare for these debates, He's pointing out things that I suppose ought be brought to the forefront.

00:18:39.000 Let me know what you guys think.

00:18:40.000 Here he is.

00:18:41.000 So this is probably my favorite moment for the night, just because it's existentially a weird thing to say.

00:18:48.000 Check this out.

00:18:48.000 This is Trump being Trump.

00:18:50.000 But we have a president that doesn't know he's alive.

00:18:53.000 Your time is up.

00:18:54.000 He doesn't know he's alive?

00:18:57.000 That's a really profound existential state.

00:19:00.000 I don't actually know whether or not I'm alive.

00:19:03.000 No one could confirm that, really, because all information would be coming through the same milieu.

00:19:08.000 You are alive.

00:19:08.000 Yeah, but how do I know?

00:19:09.000 I mean, you're just you.

00:19:10.000 You're part of the problem.

00:19:12.000 It's a sort of a really bizarre existential claim.

00:19:15.000 Um, one of the moments that a lot of people enjoyed on X was the brief bait-in and reference to Kamala's previous VP debates with Mike Pence.

00:19:25.000 The, um, I'm talking now moment.

00:19:27.000 Let's revisit that.

00:19:29.000 Different policies.

00:19:30.000 Like, she was big on defund the police.

00:19:33.000 In Minnesota, she went out... Wait a minute, I'm talking now.

00:19:36.000 We'll continue with that in a matter of moments, but first, a quick word from our partners.

00:19:41.000 At the wellness company.

00:19:44.000 America, listen up. 0.53

00:19:45.000 First, a massive COVID-19 spike with 1.29 million cases reported daily.

00:19:51.000 Then the World Health Organization declares monkeypox a global health emergency.

00:19:54.000 What will they do next?

00:19:55.000 Well, apparently it's going to be a bird flu summit.

00:19:58.000 These aren't just coincidences.

00:19:59.000 It seems that they're calculated moves to keep us fearful and controlled.

00:20:02.000 Would you agree?

00:20:03.000 Were you prepared for the last pandemic?

00:20:06.000 48% of Americans don't have any emergency supplies ready.

00:20:09.000 We saw how the medical and pharmaceutical industries failed us last time.

00:20:12.000 Are we gonna count on them again this time?

00:20:14.000 It's time to take control.

00:20:15.000 Get the Contagion Emergency Kit from The Wellness Company.

00:20:18.000 It's packed with either Mectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Z-Pak, Tamiflu, and Budesonide, and a nebulizer.

00:20:24.000 The treatments, they apparently didn't want you to have.

00:20:27.000 A few clicks and this kit will be at your door.

00:20:29.000 Act now.

00:20:30.000 In Minnesota, she went out- Wait a minute, I'm talking now.

00:20:49.000 God bless America.

00:20:50.000 Let's get back to the content.

00:20:53.000 In Minnesota, she went out, wait a minute, I'm talking now.

00:20:57.000 If you don't mind, please.

00:20:59.000 Does that sound familiar?

00:21:00.000 Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.

00:21:03.000 I'm speaking.

00:21:03.000 She went out.

00:21:07.000 Yeah, that'll be a moment that will be memed and that people doubtlessly enjoy.

00:21:13.000 Another moment that you would point to for Trump, I suppose, is the offering of the MAGA hat, a reference and allusion to Kamala taking on the new positions and surprising positions on fracking and indeed border security.

00:21:28.000 Well, you know, if you do want to build a wall, you could build a wall right now.

00:21:31.000 But don't we all recall that that very wall was the source of most of the condemnation and ire First of all, they bought their chips from Taiwan.

00:21:43.000 We hardly make chips anymore because of philosophies like they have and policies like they have.

00:21:50.000 I don't say her because she has no policy.

00:21:52.000 Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window.

00:21:57.000 She's going to my philosophy now.

00:21:59.000 In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat.

00:22:01.000 She's gone to my philosophy.

00:22:03.000 If she ever got elected, she'd change it.

00:22:05.000 How are you guys feeling about facial expressions?

00:22:09.000 I think some of the not speaking moments from Kamala, I don't know, is that more of the joy that we're experiencing there?

00:22:17.000 I'm not sure about it.

00:22:18.000 I think neutrality is what you want.

00:22:21.000 Neutrality and occasional bemusement.

00:22:24.000 Excessive displays of emotion.

00:22:26.000 I don't know.

00:22:27.000 It's difficult, isn't it, not to fall into judging the debate on its own terms, which is the terms of a spectacle, a presentation of two figures that represent, on one hand, emotional states, whether that's a kind of vehemence and anger and disdain for institution, for government, for globalism, a kind of despair and anger around issues like immigration, Or this sort of emergent haughtiness and superciliousness that we're being taught to identify as joy, but seems to me to be the epitome of much of what's wrong with liberalism, liberalism alloyed with corporatism.

00:23:08.000 A kind of sense of condescension and personal certainty, of moral piety and easy biographical grandeur.

00:23:19.000 Constant referencing to your own, of your own past.

00:23:22.000 When I was a child I did this, I'm from this background, I created that.

00:23:26.000 I'm not sure what the merits and values of that are and I personally find it like I get kind of psychological bends moving between biography, generalities, trivialities and then suddenly being confronted with Policy about like we're going to give $25,000 to a big business and we're doing startup for sorry small businesses We're going to do startup schemes.

00:23:50.000 It seems like like how are we supposed to?

00:23:54.000 understand simultaneously global war, globalization, events in the Middle East, funding of Ukraine,

00:24:03.000 botched Afghanistan, do you want a small start-up loan, did Obamacare work? There's something

00:24:08.000 ridiculous about the specificity of policy when indeed the specificity of policy should

00:24:13.000 be all that matters. They oughtn't be ciphers for our unconscious emotion and sometimes

00:24:19.000 I feel that's the best that's being offered along with I suppose a curated space that

00:24:25.000 legacy media presents you with which plainly means these debates have a function.

00:24:30.000 And the reason the debates must take place at all is because both sides must see that there's a benefit in them.

00:24:36.000 And it will be the end of our country.

00:24:39.000 She's a Marxist.

00:24:40.000 Everybody knows she's a Marxist.

00:24:42.000 Her father's a Marxist professor in economics, and he taught her well.

00:24:47.000 But when you look at what she's done to our country, and when you look at these millions and millions of people that are pouring into our country monthly, where it's, I believe, 21 million people, not the 15 that people say, and I think it's a lot higher than the 21, that's bigger than New York State pouring in.

00:25:04.000 And just look at what they're doing to our country.

00:25:06.000 They're criminals. 0.99

00:25:07.000 Many of these people coming in are criminals. 0.98

00:25:09.000 And that's bad for our economy, too.

00:25:11.000 You know, you mentioned before, we'll talk about immigration later.

00:25:14.000 Well, bad immigration is the worst thing that can happen to our economy. 1.00

00:25:18.000 They have, and she has, destroyed our country with policy that's insane. 0.81

00:25:25.000 Almost policy that you'd say they have to hate our country.

00:25:30.000 One of the moments I suppose that we are ultimately going to have to look at as being a tactical triumph for Kamala is bringing up Trump's rallies.

00:25:40.000 You can say what you want about Trump.

00:25:42.000 You can suggest that he reveres dictators.

00:25:45.000 You can criticise his skin colour, his hair and his hands.

00:25:49.000 But at your peril will you say that people walk out of these rallies.

00:25:53.000 And I'm going to invite you to attend one of Donald Trump's rallies.

00:25:57.000 Because it's a really interesting thing to watch.

00:25:59.000 You will see during the course of his rallies he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter.

00:26:05.000 He will talk about when mills cause cancer.

00:26:08.000 And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.

00:26:14.000 And I will tell you, the one thing you will not hear him talk about is you.

00:26:18.000 You will not hear him talk about your needs, your dreams, and your desires.

00:26:23.000 And I'll tell you, I believe you deserve a president who actually puts you first.

00:26:28.000 And I pledge to you that I will.

00:26:30.000 A little bit of a Biden moment there around needs and desires.

00:26:34.000 But the idea that Trump rallies are especially detached from reality in an environment like that one, like during an ABC presidential debate, is a rather audacious claim.

00:26:48.000 Because what, in a sense, the entire endeavour is about is Is, are we able to channel to you such a strong, illusory schema that you'll be distracted from your actual reality?

00:27:04.000 Probably our obligation, do excuse me, Both as participants in democracy and in the ongoing communication that new media provides, is a rigorous attempt to maintain an understanding of what is real.

00:27:18.000 Or maybe all of us will become, like Joe Biden in Trump's estimation, uncertain that we're even alive, unsure of what's important.

00:27:28.000 Was Afghanistan, was that a good thing? 1.00

00:27:30.000 Was it a good withdrawal?

00:27:32.000 Is it a sin that The Taliban were invited to Camp David?

00:27:36.000 Is it necessary to talk to your enemies in order to achieve peaceful resolutions to any conflict?

00:27:42.000 What do we expect of our leaders at this point?

00:27:46.000 What is it that you want?

00:27:47.000 Is it that you want them to somehow resonate with an emotional state that you have?

00:27:52.000 And is that why continually we're invited to contemplate emotional and difficult to reconcile issues?

00:27:59.000 Obviously among them abortion, Or is it that what we want is a clear, delineated vision of what America could be?

00:28:08.000 And I'm not sure that we saw that from either candidate.

00:28:13.000 Is that what you expect from a debate?

00:28:15.000 Is that the function of a debate?

00:28:17.000 And if it isn't, because Could it be that?

00:28:20.000 Then what is this that we're participating in mutually together?

00:28:25.000 It's kind of, it might as well be, some sort of tribal dance.

00:28:30.000 Ceremonially significant, but in terms of its content, rather confusing to assess.

00:28:37.000 Vice President Harris, thank you.

00:28:38.000 President Trump, on that point, I want to get your response.

00:28:40.000 Well, I would like to respond.

00:28:41.000 Let me just ask though, why did you try to kill that bill, and successfully so, that would have put thousands of additional agents and officers on the border?

00:28:47.000 Another example of the moderators biasing the proceedings in a general way towards favourable outcomes to Kamala.

00:28:54.000 Would you agree?

00:28:54.000 First let me respond as to the rallies.

00:28:57.000 She said people start leaving.

00:28:58.000 People don't go to her rallies.

00:28:59.000 There's no reason to go.

00:29:00.000 I like that.

00:29:01.000 That's the kind of thing I like.

00:29:02.000 There's no reason to go.

00:29:04.000 There's no reason to go.

00:29:06.000 And the people that do go, she's busing them in and paying them to be there. 0.83

00:29:10.000 And then showing them in a different light.

00:29:13.000 So she can't talk about that.

00:29:14.000 People don't leave my rallies.

00:29:15.000 We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics.

00:29:19.000 That's because people want to take their country back.

00:29:22.000 Are you surprised that you didn't hear more of the significant and extraordinary event that took place, what, like a month ago?

00:29:31.000 Six weeks ago?

00:29:32.000 Was it a century ago?

00:29:33.000 An assassination attempt that for a minute appeared like it would change the entire direction of the campaign.

00:29:40.000 At the RNC it seemed more like a coronation and then after the switch, the Biden-Kamala switch, the news cycle moves That weaponized, not me, she weaponized.

00:29:53.000 pace. It's like that never happened. I thought we would see more references to this event

00:29:59.000 but here is a reference to the assassination attempt.

00:30:01.000 "That weaponized, not me, she weaponized. I probably took a bullet to the head because 0.97

00:30:07.000 of the things that they say about me. They talk about democracy, I'm a threat to democracy. 0.90

00:30:13.000 They're the threat to democracy with a fake Russia, Russia, Russia investigation that 0.85

00:30:18.000 went nowhere." 0.82

00:30:19.000 "We have a lot to get to, Lindsey."

00:30:20.000 "Actually when you watch it as clips rather than watching it live when it's sort of overwhelming

00:30:25.000 in some ways because of the vast scope of subjects and the weird array of emotions and

00:30:32.000 tactics and performance styles, you can see that." 0.64

00:30:37.000 Trump is more focused on bringing to the forefront... Are we dealing with like a lot of cacophony of absolute madness?

00:30:48.000 And you can also, I think, identify that the moderation is continually, gently, creating favorable circumstances for Kamala.

00:30:58.000 When I'm watching these things live, I don't know what happens to me.

00:31:01.000 So like when I'm in a supermarket, I think the sort of the light in and the sort of the stimulation of the situation

00:31:08.000 disorients me. Watching it now, you can see that Trump appears to be navigating back to,

00:31:15.000 like, I'm on the precipice of a global war.

00:31:17.000 And of course, there are like, sort of mad glitching moments, like when we're talking about

00:31:22.000 sort of cats being eaten and stuff like that. But I suppose overall, what you get and what you,

00:31:28.000 indeed, what you have, I think, in the figure of Kamala Harris is...

00:31:31.000 is a newly minted cipher of the message of the establishment that is functioning better than establishment candidate retro model Joe Biden on a beach somewhere in bed when you wake him up at four o'clock in the afternoon.

00:31:47.000 You have a better vessel for the anodyne, sanitary, culture-fixated Democratic Party model. 0.71

00:31:56.000 I suppose, yeah, I'm able to sort of discern it a little clearer like in retrospect I suppose. Here's one of the fact-check

00:32:04.000 moments, the repeated claim that Trump somehow endorsed the Charlottesville

00:32:10.000 protesters, the now famous good people on both sides moment, which I think has

00:32:15.000 been significantly fact-checked. Let's have a look at that.

00:32:18.000 Let's remember Charlottesville where there was a mob of people carrying tiki 0.99

00:32:25.000 torches, spewing anti-semitic hate, and what did the president then at the time

00:32:33.000 There were fine people on each side.

00:32:35.000 Okay, so there's that claim being reiterated.

00:32:38.000 This election is not to his liking.

00:32:41.000 Let's turn the page on this.

00:32:43.000 Let's not go back.

00:32:44.000 Let's chart a course for the future and not go backwards to the past.

00:32:50.000 Let me just follow up here.

00:32:51.000 There's a lot of talking about going backwards to the past and maybe that's because we are experiencing such odd temporal flux, time speeding up, data inundation, mass confusion, to such a degree where someone continually saying let's not go back to the past Makes at least a kind of rhetorical sense when I think we all know it's actually impossible.

00:33:15.000 It was a different term and it was a term that related to energy because they have destroyed our energy business.

00:33:21.000 That was where Bloodbath was.

00:33:23.000 Also, on Charlottesville, that story has been, as you would say, debunked.

00:33:28.000 Laura Ingram.

00:33:29.000 Sean Hannity, Jesse, all of these people, they covered it.

00:33:33.000 If they go an extra sentence, they will see it was perfect.

00:33:37.000 It was debunked in almost every newspaper, but they still bring it up, just like they bring 2025 up.

00:33:43.000 We can't continue to bring you this content throughout the night, attending live debates, then the very next day, analyzing the moments where it appears that the moderators are Guiding the proceedings.

00:33:54.000 We're lost in a sea of bombast and posturing without the support of our partners.

00:33:59.000 Here's a message from Lumen who support our show and we're proud to have a partnership with them.

00:35:58.000 Hello, you're watching me, Russell Brand.

00:36:01.000 On Locals.

00:36:02.000 I'm in Phoenix, which ironically is about 140 degrees outside.

00:36:07.000 Meanwhile, I'm in a cryo chamber.

00:36:09.000 You know when you hear about Mark Wahlberg being in cryo chambers at half past four in the morning and all that?

00:36:16.000 Well, this is what it's like.

00:36:18.000 I feel like my nasal hairs are freezing.

00:36:20.000 I feel my spit freezing to my gums.

00:36:22.000 Join me on Locals for special and unusual experiences like this one.

00:36:27.000 Become an awakened wonder!

00:36:30.000 Amidst all the generalities, banalities and triviality looms large the visceral fact that we could be on the precipice of a global war and perhaps the function of the world's most powerful nation would be to intervene diplomatically to prevent that from happening.

00:36:48.000 When we talked about, during the debate, when they talked about the Middle East or Ukraine, Russia, these were the moments where I felt everything coming into a kind of sharp focus.

00:36:58.000 If indeed This war escalates, it will have a significant impact for everyone.

00:37:03.000 Do you feel that the media and the Kamala campaign are focusing on issues that prevent us collectively recognizing the severity of the situation that we are being guided elegantly, if unconsciously, towards?

00:37:18.000 along with increasing authoritarianism, the threat of war is perhaps the biggest existential

00:37:24.000 challenge that all of us face.

00:37:26.000 Now the subject of war begins of course with the handling of the Afghanistan departure,

00:37:32.000 which many people, and Trump in particular, regards as botched, the leaving behind of

00:37:38.000 artillery and military equipment, the tragic deaths of American service personnel, and

00:37:43.000 indeed was anything achieved by America during that entire intervention other than $14 trillion

00:37:50.000 squandered, wasted, certainly spent, 50% of which ended up in the hands of the military

00:37:55.000 industrial complex, which leaves us all with the terrifying question, perhaps government

00:38:00.000 partners big business in particular the military-industrial complex in sustaining perpetuating and initiating wars for

00:38:07.000 no reason other than It's good business

00:38:10.000 and if that is true surely anything that disrupts that process would be a

00:38:14.000 Benefit have a look at Trump's moment on Afghanistan. See I'm a different kind of a person

00:38:20.000 I fired most of those people.

00:38:22.000 Not so graciously.

00:38:23.000 They did bad things or a bad job.

00:38:26.000 I fired them.

00:38:26.000 They never fired one person.

00:38:28.000 They didn't fire anybody having to do with Afghanistan and the Taliban and the 13 people who were just killed, viciously and violently killed.

00:38:37.000 And I got to know the parents and the family.

00:38:40.000 They didn't fire.

00:38:40.000 They should have fired all those generals, all those top people, because that was one of the most incompetently handled situations anybody has ever seen.

00:38:49.000 So when somebody does a bad job, I fire them.

00:38:53.000 And you take a guy like Esper. 0.88

00:38:55.000 He was no good.

00:38:55.000 I fired him.

00:38:56.000 So he writes a book.

00:38:57.000 Another one writes a book.

00:38:58.000 Because with me, they can write books.

00:38:59.000 With nobody else, can they?

00:39:01.000 But they have done such a poor job and they never fire anybody.

00:39:06.000 Another phenomena that we see over the course of the debate is the resistance to fact-checking

00:39:14.000 extraordinary claims that come from Kamala.

00:39:17.000 The idea that Putin has an imperialist and colonizing agenda is entirely a constructed

00:39:25.000 one.

00:39:26.000 There's nothing to suggest that Vladimir Putin wants to invade the entirety of Ukraine, then

00:39:32.000 ultimately Poland, and then of course the world. 0.52

00:39:36.000 And in the way that Trump was subject to live fact-checking for almost I would say in response to many of his answers, it seems that the claim that Putin will invade Poland is egregious enough to warrant a little investigation.

00:39:52.000 Here's that claim being made.

00:39:54.000 Understand why the European allies and our NATO allies are so thankful that you are no longer president and that we understand the importance of the greatest military alliance the world has ever known, which is NATO.

00:40:09.000 And what we have done to preserve the ability of Zelensky and the Ukrainians to fight for their independence.

00:40:16.000 Otherwise, Putin would be sitting in Kiev with his eyes on the rest of Europe, starting with Poland.

00:40:23.000 And why don't you tell the 800,000 Polish-Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch. 0.64

00:40:39.000 I reckon that the liberal media will point to that as a moment of victory.

00:40:44.000 Do you imagine so?

00:40:44.000 Let me know in the comments in the chat.

00:40:46.000 But the claim that Putin has plans to invade Poland is a facetious and fictitious one.

00:40:54.000 Here, I suppose, is a moment where we see Donald Trump making a declaration that's encouraging to most people the idea that Ending war and stopping bloodshed, generally, broadly, globally, quickly, is a desirable outcome.

00:41:10.000 We'd solve this war in 24 hours.

00:41:12.000 You said so just before the break tonight.

00:41:14.000 How exactly would you do that?

00:41:16.000 And I want to ask you a very simple question tonight.

00:41:18.000 Do you want Ukraine to win this war?

00:41:21.000 I want the war to stop.

00:41:22.000 I want to save lives that are being uselessly people being killed by the millions.

00:41:28.000 It's the millions.

00:41:29.000 It's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting, which are fake numbers.

00:41:33.000 You know, the idea That Trump is an acolyte of Putin's has been a mainstay of Democratic Party campaigning as far back as Hillary, including the erroneous and proven false claims that Russian interference benefited him in the 2016 election.

00:41:52.000 It's an idea that has a kind of tenacious allure to the Democrats that they simply cannot relinquish.

00:42:00.000 And yet Putin himself last week said he would prefer a Kamala presidency.

00:42:05.000 And here Donald Trump reminds her of that. 0.97

00:42:08.000 That these dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again because they're so clear they can manipulate you with flattery and favors and that is why So many military leaders who you have worked with have told me you are a disgrace.

00:42:28.000 That is why we understand that we have to have a president who is not consistently weak and wrong on national security, including the importance of upholding and respecting in highest regard our military.

00:42:42.000 Vice President Harris, thank you.

00:42:45.000 And she's the one that caused it.

00:42:47.000 That's weak on national security by allowing every nation, last month, for the year, 168 different countries, sending people into our country. 1.00

00:42:57.000 Their crime rates are way down.

00:42:59.000 Putin endorsed her last week.

00:43:01.000 Said, I hope she wins. 0.78

00:43:02.000 And I think he meant it.

00:43:04.000 I wonder if anyone feels any better educated having watched that debate or whether it was in a sense a peculiar dance moving between generalizations, biography, trivia and extraordinary claims clearly guided by biased auditors who favor Kamala Harris.

00:43:23.000 I suppose if you come into this as a Trump supporter you leave it as a Trump supporter celebrating his bon mots and zingers.

00:43:31.000 If you come into this Craving a Kamala Harris presidency, you leave with the sense that she certainly did a better job than Joe Biden.

00:43:40.000 But it's difficult for me not to leave this thinking, wow, what we're witnessing again is a collaboration between various institutions of power, most obviously the current government and the media.

00:43:51.000 And Donald Trump's claim that if Kamala Harris believed strongly in these things, she could Undertake legislation to amend these ailing issues Immediately right now and yet that isn't happening and surely that's something we can take home that the people that currently have their hands on the levers of power can't

00:44:12.000 Campaign as if they're peripheral outsiders hold up somewhere taking potshots at tyrannical Patriarchs when they themselves are literally in power, but that's just why I think let me know what you think in the comments and the chat consider becoming an awakened wonder because I Then you get access to early, profound conversations with valuable contributors.

00:44:35.000 This week, I spoke to Matt Walsh.

00:44:36.000 That's up on Locals Now.

00:44:38.000 Here's a moment, and if you want to become an Awakened Wonder and join us for additional live content, as well as Bible studies, stand-up breakdowns, as well as getting access to live events, we'll give you a live ticket to any event that I'm doing if you write to the address that we're posting in the chat right now.

00:44:54.000 You just have to show up.

00:44:54.000 It's all you have to do.

00:44:56.000 Here's Here's a clip from my conversation with Matt Walsh.

00:44:59.000 Use the code WALSH this month only to get one month membership for free.

00:45:04.000 Have a look at the conversation.

00:45:05.000 I wonder how much your Christianity affects your perspective when it comes to filmmaking.

00:45:11.000 As Christians, we have a really elegant and beautiful answer to all the racial strife, which is that Which is that we're all human beings, and we're all descended from Adam and Eve, and we are all part of that same fallen human condition.

00:45:27.000 We all need Christ in exactly the same degree.

00:45:32.000 From a spiritual perspective, whatever your race is, whatever your sex is, we're all children of God.

00:45:40.000 But one debate does not dominate an entire planet.

00:45:43.000 There are many other things for us to discuss together.

00:45:47.000 Not least, Elton John, ah, Elton John, the queen mother of pop, refused to condemn Trump for using the term Rocketman, one of his most famous song's titles, as a cute moniker for his frenemy Kim Jong-un.

00:46:06.000 Because condemning Trump is a sport.

00:46:08.000 But is it being somewhat undone currently?

00:46:11.000 Dwayne Johnson?

00:46:13.000 Tentative acceptance of Trump.

00:46:16.000 Now Elton John?

00:46:18.000 Tentative acceptance of Trump.

00:46:21.000 Now remember, You know, do you need me to tell you what I think?

00:46:25.000 Do you care about what I think?

00:46:27.000 What I do believe in is actual electoral democracy and representation, decentralization and free speech and the ability to communicate.

00:46:36.000 And I believe that the establishment now Masquerades under the guise and veil of liberalism, and they are the true authoritarianisms.

00:46:44.000 That's what I believe.

00:46:45.000 Let me know in the comments and the chat.

00:46:47.000 And it seems that the tide is turning, that things are changing, and maybe even just cultural moments like this.

00:46:53.000 Elton John saying that, you know, he thinks it's funny and that the nickname Rocketman is brilliant and amusing.

00:46:58.000 These are indicators of the kind of, hmm, is it the quashing of the taboo around Trump?

00:47:04.000 Let's have a look.

00:47:05.000 I know that you're not a supporter of Donald Trump's.

00:47:08.000 He loves your music.

00:47:09.000 How did it feel when he took the lyrics to Rocketman and he used it as a nickname for Kim Jong-un and then he gave Kim Jong-un... He didn't take the lyrics, he didn't like use...

00:47:20.000 Man, I think it's gonna be a long, long time to touch down... You just used the words rocket there, right?

00:47:29.000 You didn't, I think, use the sort of concept of the whole song.

00:47:32.000 And also, look at the tone of this.

00:47:34.000 How did it feel?

00:47:35.000 Because what they want... Now, this is how media works now.

00:47:38.000 It's brilliant.

00:47:39.000 This is the answer to the question that they want from Elton John.

00:47:42.000 Well, you know, I think it's actually pretty disgusting because Rocketman, that song's about dreams and kindness and hope and Trump, unlike Kamala Harris, unlike Barack Obama, unlike the people that are facilitating all these endless wars, he's a bad person and...

00:47:59.000 Kamala Harris and Obama, they're the good people and life's that simple and I'd like to take this opportunity to condemn Donald Trump.

00:48:07.000 You know like how they love it when a band goes like you say they used Foo Fighters didn't they when Bobby Kennedy came out for Trump at that recent rally and like you know these phone calls because I've actually been on the other side of this not obviously on the this scale but you know oh oh Russell Brown made this joke Right, let's call up a charity associated with the issue that he was being flippant and glib about in a comedic context.

00:48:33.000 Let's ring up a charity that are going to find it really difficult to be humorous because they're connected to muscular dystrophy or anorexia or whatever actually sad, difficult and tragic condition it is.

00:48:45.000 Let's ring up someone that won't be humorous and get, well I think it's just disgusting that someone would even joke about it.

00:48:51.000 But when the culture gets to the point where it's, Well, I think it's disgusting, so I'm going to use the lyrics of Rocketman.

00:48:58.000 The lyrics of Rocketman... Rocketman did not come down from Mount Sinai.

00:49:04.000 It came from Bernie Taupin.

00:49:05.000 Brilliant.

00:49:06.000 Good on you, Donald.

00:49:07.000 I am the Rocketman, yeah.

00:49:09.000 Donald's always been a fan of mine and he's been to my concerts many, many times.

00:49:14.000 So, I mean, I've always been friendly towards him and I thank him for his support.

00:49:19.000 Yeah, when he did that, I just thought it was hilarious.

00:49:21.000 It made me laugh.

00:49:23.000 Cut! 1.00

00:49:24.000 No!

00:49:25.000 No!

00:49:25.000 What?

00:49:26.000 It?

00:49:26.000 What?

00:49:26.000 No!

00:49:27.000 That's not what you thought.

00:49:28.000 What you thought?

00:49:28.000 Hold on.

00:49:29.000 No, you thought it was bad.

00:49:31.000 It was bad to think that.

00:49:33.000 Now, again, I've sort of mentioned this.

00:49:35.000 I'm sort of like, I mean, right now I'm reading it.

00:49:37.000 So, Michael, look at this what I'm reading, like, literally now.

00:49:40.000 Let me read this out to you.

00:49:41.000 I won't say where it is so that they don't get the promo.

00:49:45.000 Why do left-ish journalists and influencers Matt Taibbi, Russell Brand, Glenn Greenwald, Joe Rogan, RFK end up supporting tacitly or explicitly the Trumpian right?

00:49:56.000 Today let's explore the underlying conditions that have caused popular left-leaning journalists and influencers to swerve over the last years into either full out no hard holds barred supporters of Trump and the right or more tacit fellow travelers.

00:50:08.000 The roster includes cynical hippie catcher Russell Brand, Who recently embraced both Trump and the Bible. 0.82

00:50:15.000 Naomi Wolf, former progressive feminist, turned Steve Bannon acolyte.

00:50:20.000 Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald relentlessly attacked the democratic establishment while blithely ignoring the horrible activities of the right.

00:50:29.000 He gave Kim one of your CDs and signed it.

00:50:31.000 That was in one of the books about him.

00:50:33.000 Because Kim, I guess, didn't know the song, so... What's that?

00:50:35.000 He gave Kim Jong-un the signed CD.

00:50:38.000 Yes.

00:50:38.000 You know, which... Yeah.

00:50:39.000 He hasn't heard of it.

00:50:41.000 Of course he hasn't heard of me, Kim Jong-un.

00:50:42.000 It would be very surprising if he had.

00:50:44.000 I've never toured North Korea and I have no intention of doing so.

00:50:48.000 But... I thought it was a light moment.

00:50:51.000 It's quite nice to think, like, King Yong Un ain't heard of Elton John, isn't it?

00:50:56.000 Like, that's pretty amazing.

00:50:57.000 Like, Elton John has just been there, near-contemporary of the Beatles, friend of John Lennon, writer of tunes that you don't even really know that you like until you hear them, just a sort of ever-present magical oddity, a unique and idiosyncratic man.

00:51:15.000 Oh, OK.

00:51:17.000 Sorry about the slight accent there, but give us a break on our Kim Jong-un talks.

00:51:21.000 Making a wild guess there.

00:51:23.000 It's a pretty great story, isn't it?

00:51:25.000 But above that, above all else, it shows you the sort of inert and slithering tendency of a nefarious, insidious media, hell-bent on creating malevolence and darkness and extinguishing all hope, while pretending to be the creator of light.

00:51:41.000 I would say it's a pretty good definition of flat-out Satanism, but that's just what I think.

00:51:46.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

00:51:50.000 Rocketman! 0.95

00:51:51.000 And it was fun.

00:51:52.000 It was fun.

00:51:52.000 Life is fun.

00:51:54.000 Hey, you know...

00:51:55.000 Another figure who exists in the firmament of Hollywood, but is clearly out of there, I mean, both in a psychedelic sense and a cosmic sense and an anti-establishment sense, is the actor Jim Carrey.

00:52:06.000 Years ago, he, when he was married to Jenny McCarthy, was that the name of the woman he was married to?

00:52:11.000 They used to talk about vaccines and stuff.

00:52:13.000 I guess their kid possibly had some sort of vaccine injury.

00:52:16.000 I don't remember all of the details.

00:52:17.000 I do remember specifically, though, seeing them both campaigning about, hey, we might want to be careful about some of these vaccines that kids are getting.

00:52:24.000 And then suddenly, Did I mention today's sponsor?

00:52:34.000 So here is Jim Carrey lambasting the children vaccine schedule and the pharmaceutical industry, although I don't know how he could because You know, if you walk around a graveyard from the old days, it's all full of children's graves.

00:52:49.000 And the reason that it's not is because of vaccines, okay?

00:52:53.000 I'm gonna keep on loving big corporations and big government and pretending that that somehow makes me enlightened and advanced.

00:53:02.000 Will you carry on with that, dear Jim Carrey, comedy genius and outspoken critic of the pharmaceutical industry?

00:53:10.000 is on a very different schedule.

00:53:12.000 I don't know what happened in 1990.

00:53:13.000 There was no plague that was killing children that we had to triple the amount of vaccines.

00:53:17.000 What happened after 1989?

00:53:19.000 Why do they get more into 26 more vaccines?

00:53:22.000 Greed are all of them absolutely necessary.

00:53:25.000 They want to make money.

00:53:25.000 Of course.

00:53:26.000 Hi, Jim.

00:53:27.000 You know those movies you make that cost hundreds of millions of dollars and for which you earn hundreds of millions of dollars?

00:53:35.000 Yeah, no, I like being in those.

00:53:36.000 Good.

00:53:37.000 Good.

00:53:38.000 Well, if you wanna continue being in those, you know what you said on Larry King?

00:53:44.000 Yeah, I thought I did a good job of explaining the obvious intentions that must be behind such an aggressive... No, no, no, no, no, Jim.

00:53:53.000 It wasn't good.

00:53:54.000 What you were doing there is you were potentially destroying yourself.

00:53:56.000 But I think we all want to see Mask 3 and maybe a whole host of other sequels and other movies that could make hundreds of millions of dollars for everybody, everybody.

00:54:06.000 And if you look closely at the interest behind those studios, sooner or later, I'm sure via advertising or funding Or investment, and here's a word I'm just gonna flow in there.

00:54:17.000 Blackrock Vanguard.

00:54:18.000 You would find interests and connections, explicit and implicit, that make your position on Larry King untenable.

00:54:26.000 So you're saying you'd like my kids vaccinated?

00:54:28.000 I'm saying we would like your mouth vaccinated.

00:54:31.000 It's twice as many as anywhere else in 30 countries in the western world.

00:54:36.000 We give twice as many shots as any of those countries.

00:54:38.000 Why is that?

00:54:39.000 What are you against?

00:54:40.000 Don't vaccinate for this but vaccinate for that?

00:54:43.000 Yes!

00:54:43.000 I think we have to choose which ones are absolutely necessary.

00:54:45.000 Don't vaccinate for this but vaccinate for that.

00:54:48.000 Dear old Larry King, what a beautiful and brilliant man.

00:54:50.000 I went on a couple of these shows and he's a real lovely old delight.

00:54:54.000 That was an echo back to the days where I don't know, maybe we've been bleary-eyed, teary-eyed, misty-eyed, and misled.

00:55:01.000 We get the sense that there were people in media that were... decent, is the word I was groping for.

00:55:06.000 You should educate yourself.

00:55:08.000 We want to empower parents to educate themselves.

00:55:10.000 Do we need to have the chickenpox?

00:55:12.000 Do we need the hepatitis B shot on the second day of life?

00:55:14.000 I don't think we can afford to assume that the people who are charged with our public health any longer have our best interests at heart all the time.

00:55:24.000 Do you know what?

00:55:25.000 We're actually quite famous.

00:55:28.000 I think we could go on Larry King and just actually speak out about vaccines instead of just promoting these movies and operating in this cultural space that we've been assigned.

00:55:35.000 We could say anything we want.

00:55:37.000 You're right, we could do that.

00:55:39.000 Okay, well, let's have a little ol' look-see, shall we?

00:55:43.000 Parents have to make their own decisions.

00:55:45.000 Educated decisions.

00:55:47.000 They have to look at the information.

00:55:48.000 Space out the vaccines.

00:55:49.000 Delay them till after one.

00:55:51.000 Clean out the toxins that are in them.

00:55:53.000 We don't need that many.

00:55:55.000 Why would a doctor not want to know more about something that could save a life or prevent a disease?

00:56:01.000 I don't understand.

00:56:02.000 Uh, the AAP is financed by the drug companies.

00:56:06.000 Uh, medical schools are financed by the drug companies.

00:56:08.000 This is a huge business.

00:56:10.000 Vaccines are the largest growing division of the pharmaceutical industry.

00:56:14.000 You're not listening, Jim.

00:56:15.000 You're not listening, Jim. 1.00

00:56:18.000 Grow a big beard and start doing some fucking paintings and keeping your mouth firmly shut. 1.00

00:56:26.000 Do you see that the impact that A powerful communicator can have just by expressing his true opinions on one subject. 1.00

00:56:36.000 Childhood vaccination.

00:56:39.000 I suppose when anything is as taboo as that subject, you might want to investigate why it's so taboo.

00:56:47.000 Because it could be so taboo because, no, no, we really believe in child vaccination schedules so strongly we just can't allow anything, anything at all, to make your children sick.

00:56:58.000 But I just, based on what I've observed over the last few years and what I've observed generally throughout the culture when it comes to what the priorities appear to be, it seems very unlikely that all this effort and endeavour is being spent in order to protect and help us.

00:57:10.000 That just doesn't seem in line with my experiences.

00:57:13.000 But let me know what experiences you've had in the comments in the chat.

00:57:16.000 $13 billion dollars. They control medical schools. What we're asking is for them to take a loss for the good of our

00:57:23.000 children.

00:57:23.000 That's a tough sell in a boardroom. Well, there you go. Jim Carrey there

00:57:28.000 expressing his true and honest opinion and subjecting himself to

00:57:33.000 significant possibly even colossal risk.

00:57:37.000 Jim Carrey was never the same after that and not because he'd taken one shot too many but because he'd fired one shot too

00:57:44.000 many.

00:57:44.000 And the kind of powerful interest that you are simply not allowed to take aim at. Let me tell you I have some

00:57:50.000 experience in that area.

00:57:53.000 I hope you've enjoyed our debate special.

00:57:57.000 What a fantastic show it's been.

00:57:58.000 We will be back tomorrow.

00:58:00.000 We've got some fantastic content coming up on Locals for you AwakendWonders.

00:58:04.000 Bible study, Russell Brand stand-up breakdown.

00:58:07.000 We're talking about Billy Connolly.

00:58:09.000 It's absolutely fantastic.

00:58:10.000 In fact, let me show you a little clip of the last one.

00:58:15.000 This is when I've done Billy Connolly.

00:58:16.000 No, this is Pete and Dud.

00:58:18.000 Two of my favourite comedians.

00:58:19.000 Have a quick look at this.

00:58:21.000 That's Les Grands Beignets.

00:58:22.000 You know what it means, don't you?

00:58:23.000 What's it?

00:58:24.000 Big bathers. 1.00

00:58:24.000 That's all? 1.00

00:58:25.000 That's all it means.

00:58:26.000 Big bathers. 1.00

00:58:27.000 But it's not worth 500,000 quid, that load, is it?

00:58:29.000 Works out about 50,000 pounds of body, doesn't it?

00:58:32.000 Well, you could get the real nude ladies over there for that price. 1.00

00:58:35.000 Yeah.

00:58:37.000 My Aunt Dolly would have done it for nothing. 1.00

00:58:41.000 She does anything for nothing, doesn't she, Aunt Dolly? 1.00

00:58:43.000 Build the old car.

00:58:49.000 People talk about Cook's skewering serpentine eyes bearing down on Dud there as Dudleymore sort of forces sandwich in his mouth to not crack up. 0.73

00:59:03.000 Oh man, you've got to join me for a Russell Brand stand-up breakdown.

00:59:07.000 It's me looking at comedy heroes and the techniques they use and the joy that they bring.

00:59:12.000 It's fantastic.

00:59:13.000 That's available to you, Awaken Wonders.

00:59:16.000 I hope you enjoyed this post-debate special.

00:59:19.000 We are in for an incredible 60 days, guys.

00:59:23.000 That's it.

00:59:24.000 The firing pistol has definitely been shot.

00:59:27.000 We are on our way to an epic election.

00:59:30.000 What's at stake?

00:59:32.000 Could it really be as significant as light versus dark, good versus evil, global totalitarianism versus some sort of respite or at least disruption to the trajectory of global power?

00:59:44.000 I don't know.

00:59:45.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

00:59:48.000 Consider becoming an Awaken Wonder and we will see you tomorrow, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.

00:59:53.000 Until then, if you can, stay free.
