Russiagate, impeachment, Hillary Clinton and Rachel Maddow. What do they have in common? They're both part of a corrupt and broken political system. And they're both involved in a conspiracy to delegitimise and delegitimize the election of Donald Trump. But what are they really up to? And why does it matter if they're part of the same corrupt, broken and corrupted system? And what does it have to do with Russia? All that and much more on this week's Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:01:05.000What are these vibrations that we interpret in our minds?
00:01:08.000If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be here for 15 minutes and you would miss out on my conversation with Patrick David who's joining us on a breaking news day.
00:01:18.000He's getting indicted from every single direction.
00:01:22.000I've never seen indictments rain down.
00:01:24.000These indictments are burning and blazing like the neglected fires of Hawaii that are not being addressed and could be the result of infrastructure and you know there's some interesting theories about how those fires started and even if they didn't start as a result of Bill Gates' space laser, which there's, let's face it, no evidence for.
00:01:42.000Certainly elite interests benefit from disasters like this one.
00:01:47.000In fact, every disaster appears to benefit a particular strata of society.
00:01:56.000It's just one of the questions I'll be talking to Patrick Bet-David on.
00:01:59.000So if you're about, so if you're watching this on YouTube, there's a link in the description.
00:02:02.000Join us over on the other place at the appropriate movement.
00:02:05.000If you, moment, if you're watching this on locals, Press the... No, if you're watching us on Rumble, press the red button and join us on Locals.
00:02:11.000What happens is I keep drinking these energy drinks.
00:02:47.000Well, part of the problem with these indictments, whether the charges that are being proffered are true or not, the simple fact is no one trusts the surrounding systems, judicial, electoral or political.
00:03:01.000So it's astonishing to see Hillary Clinton and Rachel Maddow chatting about this as if there's naught but ubiquitous approval to be gleaned, as if Hillary Clinton didn't participate in Russiagate.
00:03:13.000As if even in the state of Georgia, Stacey Abrams, a Democrat candidate, didn't say, this is an election that we will be disputing, rejecting.
00:03:22.000And more specifically, she said, we won.
00:03:55.000What about your involvement in the Iraq war?
00:03:57.000What about the confederation that you have with your husband, Bill, that seems to raise a lot of money?
00:04:02.000There are so many questions that Rachel Maddow could be asking but isn't asking.
00:04:07.000And isn't that the problem with the mainstream media?
00:04:09.000It's the inquiries that they don't pursue.
00:04:12.000It's the acknowledgements that they don't offer us.
00:04:14.000I mean, those of you that are watching us on YouTube, part of our army of 6.5 million awakening wonders, you'll still be able to research that famous clip where Rachel Maddow says, if you take it, that's it.
00:04:36.000The whole damn conglomerate claiming that, which amounts to, I would say, intervention in elections.
00:04:43.000Certainly Russiagate amounted to that.
00:04:46.000So when there is no moral authority, how can you condemn somebody for acting in alignment, even then that's the nature of these accusations, with an already corrupted and broken system?
00:05:15.000Do you Clinton talks as if there's no one in the world that regards her as the very epitome of an establishment career politician.
00:05:23.000The very cause of a figure like Trump.
00:05:26.000The very cause of the mistrust and anti-establishment fervour that many of us feel.
00:05:31.000The reason that Trump can say, I'm probably one indictment away from a landslide if they keep giving me these indictments, this election's in the bag.
00:05:39.000Because he knows that the more that he's regarded as an anti-establishment figure, the more popular he becomes.
00:05:45.000And to see the kind of self-congratulatory manner of this conversation shows you how we have these two separate ideological camps that are oblivious of one another's existence, except when it comes to condemning them, and no acknowledgement of their own failings and flaws.
00:06:02.000These are the kind of spiritual principles that I have to run my own life on.
00:06:05.000personal fallibility, willingness to change, willing to listen to and acknowledge other
00:06:09.000people's perspectives. Without those tools you're just going to have ossified camps.
00:06:13.000Yeah also isn't part of the deal with like CNN and MSNBC why they say oh we're so much
00:06:17.000better than Fox because we're meant to be impartial. I mean if you're impartial in a
00:06:21.000case against Donald Trump and you get on Hillary Clinton it doesn't show you to be all that
00:06:25.000impartial in my opinion. Is that the most impartial person you could summons up from
00:06:30.000Hades that day? You feel satisfaction in that?
00:06:36.000You warned the country, essentially, that he was going to try to end democracy, but most of the country didn't believe you.
00:06:48.000I just feel great that this is happening.
00:06:49.000For the first time in my life, I look right.
00:06:52.000Not since Bill marched in with that cigar and she wandered out in that blue dress have I ever felt more like my intuition was serving me well.
00:07:03.000He set out to defraud the United States of America and the citizens of our nation.
00:07:11.000If it's a fraudulent and corrupt system, if you have a media that continually lies to you, if you have stories about the Hunter Biden laptop withheld because it might sway the election, when we spoke to Vivek Ramaswamy last week, he said the election was stolen.
00:09:00.000I suppose everyone's getting older by the day, but it doesn't seem like a particularly responsible system.
00:09:04.000We're going to leave you, if you're watching us on YouTube, not forever.
00:09:07.000You're one of our Awakening Wonders and we love you, but we want you to click the link in the description below and join us there.
00:09:13.000In the other place, the place where truth flourishes, where free speech flows like wine, where the opportunity to communicate openly with transparency, clarity, and love is abundant and abounding, and what a fantastic guest we have to speak with.
00:09:28.000Patrick Bet-David will be joining us only on Rumble.
00:09:31.000If you're watching us on Rumble, give that little rumble.
00:09:33.000button a little have a little fiddle with it have a little mess around with it.
00:09:37.000Oh, you'd like that wouldn't you? Go on give it a nudge why don't you and join us over on
00:09:40.000locals there's a mighty army growing there too. It's time for us to welcome our fantastic guest
00:09:46.000Patrick Bet-David entrepreneur and host of Valuetainment.
00:09:50.000Thank you Patrick for making time for us today we're thrilled to have you. It's great to
00:10:55.000The more you say Biden's done a great job, Biden's a great president, Biden's this, the moment he steps out and he's not in it anymore, Biden, the market's gonna say, look how loyal Newsom was to Biden, but look how disloyal DeSantis was to Trump, and then boom, Newsom becomes a president.
00:11:16.000So that's one of the things that we have to keep in mind that could be the scenario.
00:11:20.000The other one is the fact that the Democrats are sitting there waiting for Michelle Obama or somebody to get in the race.
00:11:26.000They keep writing articles to see if she's going to bite.
00:11:29.000Because if they don't, and they timed us the wrong way with Biden, Can you imagine if RFK becomes a candidate for them on the left and if Vivek passes up the Santas?
00:11:41.000It's a very weird, unpredictable election.
00:11:44.000So whenever you watch in sports, you want it to be a Super Bowl or a final that you don't know who's going to win it.
00:11:50.000This is one of those that there's a lot of possibilities of who could end up winning the year from now.
00:11:55.000What concerns me, Patrick, perhaps more than anything, is that there is so much cynicism about our political processes and systems right now.
00:12:05.000There's no one that has any real trust in electoral democracy.
00:12:09.000No one has any trust in the judiciary.
00:12:12.000Whatever happens in 2024, the side that loses is going to declare that it was a fraudulent election.
00:12:18.000You can almost guarantee it. There are new independent media voices
00:12:23.000emerging and like both you and I are part of that movement and there
00:12:27.000perhaps is a requirement for independent political figures or at least
00:12:30.000renegades within the system like RFK. I wonder mate if you feel that that's to
00:12:36.000some degree because just take this current story the wildfires raging across
00:12:41.000Hawaii that already a subject to considerable pontification
00:12:46.000And many people are entertaining pretty extraordinary conspiracy theories that it was started deliberately by lasers that Bill Gates benefits.
00:12:54.000One of the reasons I think these conspiracies gain traction is because it does look like There will be powerful interests that will benefit from those fires when Hawaii, that particular island, is rebuilt.
00:13:06.000And when Joe Biden is unable to offer a comment when directly asked, it shows the inefficiency and ineptitude of our current, or your, I'm not American, your current president.
00:13:18.000I wonder if this cynicism is therefore And whether any political candidate, other than the sort of outlier renegades that we've already touched upon, can do anything to change and improve such atrophying and broken systems.
00:13:35.000It's going to be tough because, one, you're going up against a machine that knows how to ruin your life and has got all the weapons in the world to ruin your life.
00:13:45.000If they want to target somebody, they can throw everything at you.
00:13:49.000For the longest time, the way you did it historically, if you wanted to eliminate an opponent, you did it the way Ecuador just did it.
00:14:02.000You just get rid of them and Blame a shooter and then make sure you bring the shooter to the office and then you shoot the shooter.
00:14:10.000So the guy that you may have paid off to shoot a Republican presidential candidate in Ecuador, make sure you eliminate the shooter as well.
00:14:17.000That's happened before with John F. Kennedy, with Jack Ruby, and then boom.
00:14:21.000You know, with Lee Harvey Oswald, and then Jack Ruby takes him out, so Lee Harvey Oswald's not there.
00:14:29.000If we think about what's happened from the 60s till today, for Americans to no longer trust their government, it's very, very well deserved.
00:14:38.000John F.K's assassination, we still don't fully know what's going on from the government telling us the story.
00:15:25.000Yeah, you know, weapons of mass destruction, weapons of mass destruction, weapons of mass destruction, and then boom, there was no weapons of mass destruction.
00:15:33.000What are we doing spending all this money?
00:15:34.000So decade after decade after decade, the U.S.
00:15:38.000government has had opportunities to win the people over and they've lost.
00:15:48.000government had a credit score, You know, in America, when you want to buy a house, you have to have a credit score of 720 and up to get a decent, you know, rate and all this stuff.
00:15:56.000If we go based on a perfect score is an 820, give or take 850 is a perfect score.
00:16:01.000The US government's credit score right now is a 450.
00:17:32.000This is what's going on today, Russell, which is a beautiful thing.
00:17:36.000There's guys like you who sacrificed a career in what many would dream about being in big movies, big shows, the beautiful Hollywood stars, the women, the girls, the partying.
00:17:52.000You gave all of that stuff up to do this.
00:17:59.000And then somebody would say, man, that's a big 180.
00:18:03.000The point I'm trying to make is the following.
00:18:05.000I believe true believers are waking up and they're finding each other.
00:18:09.000If there was no social media and podcasting, the chances of you and I, me from the insurance industry, and you from Hollywood doing a show like this would probably be zero.
00:18:20.000But today, a guy like you who chose to leave the, you know, Hollywood industry, and maybe you're still doing stuff, but where you were at before, Or me saying, you know what?
00:18:30.000I'm sick and tired of what's going on in America.
00:18:32.000I got four kids, an 11-year-old, 9, 7, 2.
00:18:34.000I can't sit on the sidelines and just count my money.
00:18:38.000We're forcing people to have to answer questions, whether it's ESG, whether it's term limits, whether it's the, you know, what they're doing with their elections that they're saying don't talk about it.
00:18:48.000And then eventually YouTube's coming back and saying, well, we were giving strikes.
00:18:52.000We were saying you can't talk about it.
00:18:54.000Now we're no longer taking those videos off.
00:18:57.000It's because of us talking and the louder we get I think those types of candidates are going to show up to be able to synergize America and take it more in the direction that it needs to go to.
00:19:07.000I think you're right Patrick, thanks for the various compliments embedded in that answer.
00:19:12.000What I sense is that independent media and independent politics will mesh going forward.
00:19:19.000You'll find that people from these kind of media spaces will start standing for office,
00:19:24.000that there will be alliances between emergent political voices and media.
00:20:46.000I live in a refugee camp for a couple years.
00:20:48.000Then I come to the States here, then I joined the Army, and then I go into business, I go into finance, and then I build an insurance company and it grows, and then I sell the insurance company.
00:20:57.000Last year we licensed roughly 45, 46,000 insurance agents nationwide, and part-time I start creating content.
00:21:05.000And then now it's turned into a media company, consulting from all these things that it's doing.
00:21:10.000The best part about Avengers is everybody has their own superpower.
00:21:14.000We're not all going to have the same superpower.
00:21:16.000We're all going to have our own independent way of giving our messages.
00:21:19.000Your angle is going to go from a different angle.
00:21:20.000Mine's going to go from a different place.
00:21:22.000Ben's going to go from a different place.
00:21:24.000Tucker's going to go a different place.
00:22:09.000So I think that the model of what some of these guys like, let's just say DeSantis is using the people from Ted Cruz's camp, And they're just getting the big mainstream media places to go to, and RFK is disrupting it, Vivek is disrupting it.
00:22:23.000Some of these guys are disrupting it in ways that you're sitting there saying, he's doing three podcasts a day, you're going on CNN once a week, or you're going on Fox twice a week.
00:22:32.000That guy doing three, four, five podcasts a day is going to school you, because he's going to be everywhere.
00:22:37.000We ran the data, Russell, very interesting data we ran when I had Vivek at the Town Hall, from January of this year, January of this year till the Town Hall, which was two weeks ago with Vivek, to see whose Twitter followers has increased the most from January of this year to end of July, the numbers.
00:23:00.000Mike Pence was the only one whose Twitter followers decreased.
00:23:51.000Did you ever think about RFK is going to run for office one day?
00:23:54.000Like, did you ever sit there and say, I think this guy's going to run for president.
00:23:58.000That's probably not somebody we thought is going to run for president, let alone run for president and create the kind of momentum that he's created.
00:24:06.000This is all a beautiful sign that the control is coming back to us.
00:24:12.000You and I, regular people who are not controlled by mainstream media, that are going out there and saying, I got basic questions for you.
00:25:00.000And he said the establishment scientists don't like debate.
00:25:04.000They're being forced now to debate because it's either the government investigating aliens, it's either professors investigating at universities, or it's private, right?
00:27:35.000Most people don't realize that this whole concept, why we call it Hollywood, Hollywood was never Hollywood.
00:27:41.000Hollywood was in Jersey, being ran by a guy named Thomas Edison, and Thomas Edison controlled all the actors and actresses.
00:27:49.000Eventually, They decided to leave Jersey and go to Hollywood because they revolted against the establishment at the time Edison was establishment, and they went to Hollywood and started making movies in Hollywood.
00:28:05.000Hollywood forgot that that's why they're in Hollywood.
00:28:07.000Now they're going to be leaving Hollywood and going elsewhere.
00:28:09.000And by the way, This whole strike thing that's going on and you know all the AI fears that they have and you know with Bob Iger and going back and forth with writers now it's been what two months I think a little over two months I think the last time Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon did a show was May 12th or May 14th some number like that they have not done a show because they can't they don't have the writers to do it right so they're on a strike you're seeing the strikes taking place in a few different industries but Hollywood's going through a disruption in a very different way
00:28:39.000There's this lady actress, I'm sure you know who she is, who's playing Snow White.
00:30:14.000One of the concerns that you talk about a lot, which you and I are on the same page with, with this whole thing with military-industrial complex that Eisenhower prepared us for, for a long time ago, and Kennedy followed suit, and then we're realizing now what's going on with, you know, the concepts are very simple.
00:31:04.000The basic concept of capitalism, if Russell, you and I own five hotels in UK, we own five hotels in Miami, we would want to know a couple numbers.
00:31:16.000One number we want to know is how many rooms do we have, what is the price per room that we're renting out, and we want as many rooms To be rented as possible, right?
00:31:30.000So if we got 2,000 total rooms, and we're sitting there saying, hey, Russell, good day today.
00:33:30.000So there's going to be a lot of different industries will be disrupted the more we talk about it.
00:33:33.000Patrick, as a self-declared capitalist, how do you, using just the metaphor that you just laid out for us, one area, hotels, where it's sort of like a business that doesn't require sickness or exploitation or war, seems like a legitimate endeavor that provides a service.
00:33:53.000How do we, where are the lines drawn between a capitalism that's built on the free market service of people that require a product and capitalism that Cap sizes social models such as in your example where a healthcare system requires sickness and you can see how big food require that we eat processed sugars and and seed oils and food that we know make us sick and yet we're not given the correct information about that food and those foods are proliferated and a big farmer industry that is self-regulating
00:34:24.000And only benefits if there are a sufficient number of people sick and if they can and they're able to propagate their products and a war industry that requires ongoing conflict and death at the heart of its economic model.
00:34:37.000How do we ensure and how do we indeed segregate capitalism which is about providing a service whether that's a media service or some other commodity to a willing consensual public and the kind of capitalism that plainly is pulling the strings of Political apparent public servants that fund both the Democrat Party and Republican Party, that require war, that require sickness, that have essentially bought and paid for our political process.
00:35:05.000Because I think a lot of people that are cynical about what you might call right-wing politics are cynical on it on the basis of, you know, I'm sure there are cultural and social issues, yes, you know, we've covered those, but economically the idea that The market should govern has clearly gotten to a point where we have got a kind of metastasized capitalism precisely in the form that you're describing where Black Rock Vanguard et al are able to a good political situations that are detrimental to ordinary people and yet beneficial to elites even with this Hawaii story you get the sense that already ordinary working people that come from families that are recognizable to most of us will probably suffer and
00:35:46.000There will be assets available and real estate available for people that want high-end properties.
00:36:03.000First of all, you know, it's kind of weird with this whole Hawaii thing, where we're willing to send $100, $150 billion to Ukraine, but the president doesn't want to make a comment on Maui.
00:36:11.000And somehow, some way, certain homes weren't affected by it, as if they got better sprinklers than the other houses.
00:36:17.000And at the same time, these fires that came in and hit up, the people that lost their homes,
00:36:21.000they're getting callers from realtors, local investors saying, hey, are you willing to sell your land?
00:37:17.000And if you wore the Fitbit and it reported that you're exercising after a month, three months, six months, 12 months, your cost of insurance would go lower.
00:37:26.000So, Hey, this person's moving their body.
00:37:58.000Him and I, politically, are on complete opposite sides.
00:38:01.000And he says, hey, Pat, don't you think we need to offer people 12 weeks of paternity leave, maternity leave, you know, when they have a kid and the husband and the wife can step away for 12 weeks and we should pay for it?
00:38:47.000Do you know when Social Security first came out, or the entitlement programs first came out by FDR, it was supposed to be a temporary program.
00:38:54.000It wasn't supposed to be a long-term program.
00:38:55.000It was supposed to be, hey, Great Depression happened.
00:39:57.000When you look at the numbers, Russell, if I were to ask you a question, I'm actually curious to know what you say to this.
00:40:03.000In 1940, What percentage of kids in America were born to a single mother who's never been married before, who doesn't have a husband, who's not married?
00:40:16.000What percentage of kids in 1940 do you think in America were born to a single mother, no husband in the picture?
00:40:23.000Firstly, I grew up with a single mother, but my perspective is that we tend to manage the conversation around morality and conflating, for example, single parenthood, addiction, mental health with moral issues.
00:40:40.000And even in this part of our conversation, Patrick, it distracts from... I think when we're having conversations about power, and I think you have to focus on the powerful.
00:40:50.000Now whether or not single mothers or drug addicts or mentally ill people or even immigrants
00:40:55.000are like are costly to a society, that's certainly a conversation we can have and I'm totally
00:41:00.000But I'm more interested in how we discern the difference between effective and responsible
00:41:05.000capitalism and gargantuan capitalist institutions like BlackRock, Vanguard, etc. and their impact.
00:41:12.000If BlackRock are going to rebuild Ukraine after this expensive war that's costing the
00:41:17.000average American taxpayer $900 a year that none of you guys have been invited to vote
00:41:23.000And like you say, no one's offering the kind of support to Hawaii that's getting offered to Ukraine and there's no incentive to stop this war because it's baked into the American economic system.
00:41:32.000I prefer to keep my focus on what are the movements and machinations of the powerful So what I'm asking, I think, is how do you regulate and control these vast institutions that have more powerful than governments and operate on a global scale?
00:41:45.000That's like, you know, because the sort of moral failings, if indeed it is that, of individuals and the sort of increase of single mothers for me is less important because I know how those people live and it ain't good.
00:41:58.000So, like, I'm more interested in the powerful, Patrick.
00:42:24.000You know what that number ended up being by 2000 and even today?
00:42:27.00040 plus percent of kids are born today to single mothers, okay?
00:42:33.000Sometimes it's 35, sometimes it's 45, but the numbers are on 30 to 45 percent, okay?
00:42:37.000So at first, they said, we're going to be able to eliminate poverty by giving these incentive programs and these entitlement programs to the people.
00:42:47.000Do you know how many years it took to realize this doesn't work?
00:42:50.000It took us 55 years to realize it doesn't work.
00:42:53.000Today, the amount of entitlement programs we have, we almost have to do stuff to take advantage of American people because they're so reliant on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Section 8, child tax benefits, all this stuff that we have.
00:43:07.000So that's one part, meaning bad policies have consequences.
00:43:11.000We're realizing that today, okay, that we have consequences.
00:43:14.000Families raised by fathers in a picture do better than those who don't.
00:44:17.000We have to have people that are working under the administration that understand this space to start telling them, you cannot be doing this anymore.
00:44:24.000The whole concept of ESG has to be eliminated where today, if somebody wants to go out there and win an Oscar, I have to meet certain requirements for me to be nominated for an Oscar?
00:44:34.000A third of my employees have to be part of an underrepresented community?
00:44:39.000If that was the case, the last 50 movies that won an Oscar, none of them would win an Oscar.
00:44:43.000These are ludicrous policies that we're putting in place To have control of what this person needs to do rather than hiring people that can do the job like Sound of Freedom and do 150 plus million dollars and they could care less about their ESG score.
00:44:54.000There's things that we can do to break those things apart but it starts with actually following the laws that we have in place, not allowing companies to have monopolies because once they do, they have control over things.
00:45:07.000It's going to be very challenging to do, but it's got to be someone that understands this space to be able to say, guys, we've got to have a meeting.
00:45:30.000We've got to break apart some of these companies.
00:45:32.000These are things that a president could do.
00:45:34.000These are things that leaders could do.
00:45:35.000But to do that, It's going to be tough to do it if you took money from those guys.
00:45:41.000It's going to be tough to do if those guys are funding you.
00:45:43.000It's going to be tough to do if there's always going to be money in elections.
00:45:46.000It's going to be tough to do if there's always going to be lobbyists in there.
00:45:49.000Like, look, to rehaul this whole thing when talking to Vivek, Vivek's like, I'm here for revolution.
00:45:56.000I think the next phase, Russell, to get it to where you and I can be comfortable, where These capitalists, crony capitalists, are buying up people left and right.
00:46:06.000Senators for $10,000, $20,000 to get stuff that they want their way.
00:46:11.000Congressmen that you know are going to be there for 20, 30, 40 years, you can buy them up, no problem.
00:46:16.000They're not going to have to deal with insider trading.
00:46:27.000But to do that, It's extremely, extremely risky because I no longer, I used to think as a naive guy, when I was 14 years old, I went to school, teachers started talking about Democrats and Republicans and independence, all this stuff.
00:46:40.000I came home one day and I said, mom, are we Republicans or Democrats?
00:47:05.000But it's no longer about Republicans and Democrats because you and I May not be politically on the same side, but we agree on a lot of things.
00:47:12.000It's today now more about you're either for the establishment or you're against it.
00:47:18.000The against people have a very hard job.
00:47:21.000The against people very hard to get elected.
00:47:38.000For speaking the anti-establishment language, let alone being an anti-establishment candidate.
00:47:43.000But unfortunately, or fortunately, that's exactly what we need today.
00:47:46.000Yeah, I think I agree with you on a great deal there, Patrick.
00:47:50.000It's plain that we see some things pretty differently.
00:47:53.000As I stated before, my preference is to focus on where power is.
00:47:57.000And whilst, you know, similarly, I've made a journey through a number of different economic classes, Always like to maintain in our discourse, where are particular news stories being used to enhance the power of already advantaged systems and institutions, whether they are deep state, governmental or corporate and financial.
00:48:21.000And what I'm interested in learning more about is what models within free market capitalism can be moral and effective and how we manage the delicate balance between regulation and assuring that legitimate entrepreneurship is able to succeed.
00:48:39.000We've got a social movement that we're participating in.
00:48:42.000We've got a media organization that we're participating in.
00:48:45.000We have ambitions in our organisation to improve the lives of as many people as possible, and
00:48:51.000a strong sense that real change will come from personal spiritual awakening and decentralised
00:50:10.000We're continually distracted and seduced by narratives of conflict.
00:50:14.000That's why, personally, I tend to keep away from arguments and conversations around immigration, even though I know it's important to people.
00:50:23.000Welfare and subjects like that, even though I know they're important to people, not because I want to avoid the subjects or because I believe I have solutions to them.
00:50:31.000It's just a more of an intuitive sense that you will not resolve the issues of our time by focusing on the most vulnerable people, whether they are immigrants or whether they are from, you know, any members of an economic class, where I think it is our obligation to find alliances and new ways of coming together.
00:50:50.000And then I think, you know, you can sort of regionalize whether or not you're going to have immigration in your community, or whether you're going to have programs to support single mothers, or whether it's going to be traditional or progressive values.
00:51:03.000Like, a lot of people I've spoken to think that these issues are primarily used to drive conflict, and certainly that's how I've seen them play out, because I find people who I think, yeah, I agree with you that we have to disrupt and attack the establishment, And I also agree that you should be able to have your own moral and cultural practices because that's the price of me having mine.
00:51:24.000No, fair point, you know, on what you're saying, but I will say this to you, Russell, let me, let me ask you a question from a different standpoint.
00:51:31.000So let's just say you make $63,000 per year, okay?
00:51:37.000If you make $63,000 per year, you're 32 years old, you're married, you got two kids, hypothetically, what percentage of your income are you comfortable sending to your mom on a monthly basis?
00:53:25.00062% of people are masturbating over sweet lady incest.
00:53:29.000That means mother, daddy, step-brother, step- No, actually I made up that figure, but it is the most popular, it is the most popular category.
00:53:40.000I don't personally Patrick, because of spiritual principles, I don't look at pornography one day at a time.
00:53:45.000Don't drink one day at a time, don't use drugs one day at a time, but in my hypothetical world that you've just given me, I will be doing all those things.
00:53:53.000So I'll be using the majority of my salaries going on alcohol and heroin.
00:53:57.000But the small amount that I'm left, I will give.
00:54:01.000I'd give, I don't know, of that amount, ten grand I'd give to my mum.
00:54:05.000But you know this is in some crazy world.
00:54:08.000Okay, so out of your $63,000 per year, you're willing to give $800 a month to help your mom support her.
00:55:33.000Russell, would you consider yourself a small business owner?
00:55:36.000In that hypothetical world, I am definitely, I'm getting that $62,000 a year from a small ice cream business that I run in my yard.
00:55:44.000Now here's the angle, PBD, it's human milk that we make the ice cream from and it's only It's from single mothers.
00:55:53.000In order to get their welfare, what I do is I've created, it's called the Hypothetical Welfare Dairy.
00:56:00.000Now, we take the children, they toil in underground caves looking for cobalt for our iPhones, which are now demonopolized.
00:56:08.000So we're also, we've got a small mobile phone business as well.
00:56:11.000But the single mums, they are lactating like crazy for their welfare cheques, I'm telling you.
00:56:16.000No, PBD, before I lock, I'm going to do a pivot here because I'm watching our chat
00:56:20.000and a lot of people want to hear your views on this.
00:56:22.000They want to know whether or not the Biden crime family are worse than the Trump family.
00:56:29.000Do you think that Biden and Hunter, that Biden's Hunter and Joe were involved in those Burisma deals?
00:56:37.000Do you think that Hunter's relationship to his father is significant when it comes to the deals that he did with Burisma and Chinese energy companies?
00:56:45.000And do you think that that amounts to corruption?
00:56:49.000Yeah, I think there is two ways to gain freedom and power.
00:56:54.000OK, there's two ways to to gain freedom and power.
00:56:57.000One of the ways is through free market capitalism.
00:57:01.000You go win there, you make your money, you become financially free and you have power.
00:57:06.000The other way is to use it through politics.
00:57:13.000You have the biggest gangs behind you, backing you up.
00:57:16.000It's called additional lawyers, law, policies.
00:57:20.000You can destroy someone's life or business based on policies you come up with.
00:57:24.000So, if somebody says, which is worse, one is using the government and other people's money To gain control and power, and the other one's doing it independently.
00:57:34.000If we compared the two, we can go a little bit deeper as well on the families.
00:57:39.000You have to look at values and principles as well.
00:57:42.000On the Biden family, on values and principles, it's kind of weird when you look at the youngest son ends up hooking up with the oldest son's ex-wife after he died.
00:57:51.000That's a little weird when you think about that.
00:57:52.000You know, when you think about the drugs involved, a little bit weird.
00:57:55.000When you think about in the history of, you know, White House events that we've had, only
00:58:36.000You and I probably know kids that grew up in rich families who did drugs more.
00:58:40.000Kids from private school with families that were millionaires or kids from public schools.
00:58:44.000Some may say those kids from private schools with rich mommy and daddy were the ones that did the most drugs because they had access to better drugs.
00:58:51.000I was living in a city called Plano, Texas for five years.
00:58:55.000When we were going there, everybody would say, you sure you want to go to Plano?
00:59:35.000But the guy's won on a lot of different businesses, whether it's his book, whether it's 15 years with Apprentice, whether it's him winning in business, being a billionaire, whether it's him partying with everybody, the letters he's gotten from the biggest celebrities around the world, from the most powerful people around the world who loved him, adored him, till he chose to run as a Republican.
00:59:54.000Then everything changed, and he became a president.
00:59:57.000See, I don't know if we have a lot of success stories in America as big as his on winning in different spaces.
01:00:04.000We have a basketball player, Michael Jordan.
01:00:06.000He won in basketball, and he crushed it.
01:00:10.000We have a guy, Tiger Woods, he won in golf.
01:00:14.000He won in business and he's winning in media, but he hasn't yet got the president stuff and he's crushing it.
01:00:22.000This is the only guy that if you think about has won in three, four, five different, it's not easy to do.
01:00:27.000So for me, when it comes down to the crime stuff and all the stuff that they're doing, it's kind of random.
01:00:32.000When you think about the day, um, There's a story, negative story about Biden, he's being indicted or he's going through whatever.
01:00:39.000The exact next day Trump gets indicted, that's a little random, it's a little weird.
01:00:44.000Not a week later, not two weeks later, the exact date, that happens a day later.
01:00:50.000You have to be a dummy, naive, oblivious, or wanting to look the other way if you don't think that DOJ is being weaponized against a potential opponent If you're naïve and you want to look past that, more power to you.
