00:01:00.000 Even though we love you, you 6.5 million glorious creatures of the Lord, it's just we have to speak freely, my on-screen assistant and amanuensis, Gareth Roy and I, don't we, Gareth?

00:01:10.000 We certainly do.

00:01:11.000 Particularly when it's a day of so much excitement, when there is so much glorious news, when the limitless light of consciousness shines so bright, and when we've got such a big week.

00:01:21.000 Like, say for example, if you're a member of our locals community, if you're watching us on Rumble right now, press the red button on the screen.

00:01:27.000 People like Benji, they're already here, and Danny S, they're all there.

00:01:30.000 Alright guys, how's it going?

00:01:32.000 You get to see our interview with Oliver Stone, Straight after this one.

00:01:36.000 1pm ET.

00:01:37.000 And tomorrow, Ron DeSantis.

00:01:40.000 So if you sign up to Locals, you can watch them first.

00:01:40.000 2.45 ET.

00:01:42.000 Send me a question right now for Ron DeSantis and Oliver Stone.

00:01:45.000 I'll answer it.

00:01:46.000 I am excited.

00:01:47.000 Tomorrow's spin says I don't seem excited.

00:01:49.000 You said I'll answer it.

00:01:50.000 That's not what you meant to do.

00:01:53.000 You send a question for Ron DeSantis and I'll answer it right now.

00:01:56.000 Go on!

00:01:57.000 Ron, what is it that inspired you to take this stance?

00:02:01.000 Well, I just felt like it.

00:02:03.000 The thing I think about is like when someone says he eats yogurts with his hands or something like that.

00:02:07.000 It's chocolate pudding.

00:02:08.000 That's an odd move, if you ask me.

00:02:10.000 Anyway, look, we've got loads of stuff to tell you.

00:02:12.000 We're going to come off YouTube.

00:02:13.000 The reason I'm tired is because I've been doing that community festival with Vandana Shiva and Wim Hof and Callie Means.

00:02:18.000 I've been living in a field for a while.

00:02:19.000 I've been conducting ceremonies.

00:02:21.000 Joe Rogan, name drop, text me.

00:02:22.000 He goes, what's going on, bro?

00:02:24.000 You started a cult?

00:02:25.000 Because of like, in fact we should pull that thing off Instagram.

00:02:27.000 We'll show like that Instagram reel of the one where I'm shouting a lot.

00:02:31.000 We'll show it in a minute because we've got so much news to tell you and that's why I'm a little bit delirious just in case you was wondering because I've been out on my nut starting new independent communities that will... On spirituality.

00:02:41.000 Yeah, I'm out on spirituality, breathwork, powerful breathwork and stuff, because if you fuse individual spiritual awakening with collective community empowerment, what you have is a challenge to the current system.

00:02:52.000 I realise that now more than ever.

00:02:53.000 Once we start these autonomous confederacies of independent communities, then a couple of years down the line, it's like, we ain't paying no tax, we're not participating in your debt economy anymore.

00:03:03.000 That's the plan, is it?

00:03:04.000 That's the old plan!

00:03:06.000 That's the old plan!

00:03:08.000 People will get right browned off when they start seeing that we ain't paying no tax dollars.

00:03:11.000 I'll ask Oliver Stone about it.

00:03:12.000 Do you remember when me and Oliver Stone was making that documentary?

00:03:14.000 Certainly do.

00:03:15.000 I was part of that.

00:03:16.000 Ill-fated project.

00:03:16.000 You were there.

00:03:18.000 I wouldn't call it ill-fated even though that is what it was and does accurately describe it.

00:03:23.000 What was really good is when Oliver Stone got us, we interviewed Donald Trump.

00:03:26.000 That's when I met Donald Trump for the first And only time!

00:03:30.000 And I upset Donald Trump, didn't I, Kel?

00:03:32.000 Only afterwards, I think.

00:03:33.000 In the moment, you've gone very well.

00:03:35.000 Pick anything you want from this office.

00:03:35.000 He was nice to me.

00:03:37.000 Anything you want.

00:03:38.000 I'll just have a pen, thank you, mate.

00:03:39.000 He had Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves in that office at the top of Trump Tower.

00:03:42.000 Anyway, afterwards I did some stand-up in New York and I made some jokes about Donald Trump.

00:03:47.000 And then Oliver Stone goes, listen, I'm using these buildings for Wall Street 2 and Trump's vital to the production.

00:03:54.000 I had to write letters to Donald Trump and Oliver Stone anyway, so I'll be apologising to Oliver Stone.

00:03:58.000 You'll be watching that.

00:03:58.000 If you join us on Locals, press the red button.

00:04:00.000 But for now, we're going to be looking at the takedown of Mike Pence over Ukraine.

00:04:07.000 Mike Pence, who's a Republican candidate, sounds like He sounds like a younger and slightly sexier Joe Biden.

00:04:14.000 And when we come off YouTube, we're going to be talking about the White House drug charges.

00:04:19.000 What's going on?

00:04:20.000 How much cocaine is required to keep that place upbeat?

00:04:24.000 And if that cocaine's going where I think it is, how come everyone's so doddery in there?

00:04:28.000 How come no one can stand up straight?

00:04:31.000 In the old bad days when I used to badly and wrongly... It's not a legend.

00:04:36.000 It's clearly documented.

00:04:38.000 You've written many books about it.

00:04:41.000 When I used to do that I was much more upbeat and I knew which direction to walk when I left the stage.

00:04:46.000 Back towards the bathrooms for a bit more of the old...

00:04:51.000 Oh dear.

00:04:51.000 Oh no.

00:04:52.000 That's the wrong button.

00:04:52.000 That's exactly what he did in those bathrooms.

00:04:54.000 He was often already there.

00:04:57.000 He was there already.

00:04:57.000 I'd called him in advance.

00:04:58.000 Even then I was very good at logistics and operations.

00:05:02.000 Let's have a look at Mike Pence and Tucker.

00:05:05.000 You'll love this.

00:05:06.000 You saw our world exclusive interview with Tucker.

00:05:08.000 Have a look at how baffled Tucker looks when he's listening to Mike Pence.

00:05:11.000 You can already see it in the still.

00:05:12.000 Tucker's so disappointed.

00:05:14.000 He's wearing classic Tucker trousers.

00:05:16.000 We now know because our exclusive interview that's the only trousers he wears.

00:05:19.000 And he'll stitch him up if anything goes wrong with him.

00:05:20.000 Let's have a look at a chat.

00:05:21.000 ...an incredible weakness, especially after that disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

00:05:27.000 And all along the way, the Biden administration has been slow in providing military support.

00:05:32.000 Make no mistake about this.

00:05:33.000 We promised them 33 Abrams tanks in January.

00:05:36.000 I heard again two weeks ago in Ukraine, they still don't have them.

00:05:40.000 We've been telling them we'll train their F-16 pilots, but now they're saying maybe

00:05:43.000 January we'll let somebody transfer some jets.

00:05:46.000 Look how upset he is.

00:05:48.000 He's getting to the brink, isn't he?

00:05:50.000 How can Mike Pence sit there, that little human ice cream, so white as snow, isn't he, his little ice cream head, advocating, saying that the problem is there ain't enough helicopters?

00:06:00.000 Yeah, well exactly, but also, literally in the same sentence as mentioned in Afghanistan.

00:06:05.000 You know, one of the ways in which we know America's in an unnecessary war for 20 years that dragged on.

00:06:10.000 And then speaking about the Ukraine conflict in a completely different context.

00:06:13.000 Like, this is a completely different thing.

00:06:13.000 Madness.

00:06:15.000 Joe's dog says, O-S-H-I-T.

00:06:18.000 Me and Tucker got the same pants.

00:06:20.000 Well done, mate.

00:06:20.000 Sorry, Mr. Vice President, have you... I know you're running for president.

00:06:24.000 You are distressed that the Ukrainians don't have enough American tanks.

00:06:30.000 Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years.

00:06:35.000 Drive around.

00:06:36.000 There's not one city that's gotten better in the United States.

00:06:39.000 And it's visible.

00:06:41.000 Our economy has degraded.

00:06:43.000 The suicide rate has jumped.

00:06:45.000 Public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased.

00:06:50.000 Doesn't Tucker there challenge one of the basic preconceptions and indeed misconceptions about this current conflict that why should America even be remotely involved in this war?

00:07:03.000 What are the motivations?

00:07:05.000 And here is a list of exquisite and brilliant Unanswerable, well they are answerable questions, if you answered them you'd realise that this whole war is an absolute sham.

00:07:15.000 This is an article by the brilliant Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges who used to work for the New York Times and now can't get a gig on the internet because of increasing censorship, so I suppose I'm going to have to be careful reading this out.

00:07:28.000 While Tucker makes the point that many Americans, and let us know in the chat how you feel about this, press the red button, join us on Locals, many Americans Wouldn't voluntarily or electorally vote to spend billions and billions of dollars on a foreign war when that money could be spent domestically on American infrastructure?

00:07:47.000 It's absurd!

00:07:48.000 Here is a list of questions from Chris Hedges about the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

00:07:54.000 Questions that, when you ponder them, you start to realise the depth of deception that's being practised by the mainstream media and the establishment more broadly.

00:08:03.000 Wasn't the Russian military, because of poor morale, poor generalship, outdated weapons, desertion, a lack of ammunition, that supposedly forced soldiers to fight with shovels and severe supply shortages, supposed to collapse months ago?

00:08:16.000 Oh yeah, do you remember that, when they said that they were going to collapse?

00:08:18.000 Wasn't Putin supposed to be driven from power?

00:08:20.000 That hasn't happened, and that's going to be great stuff to ask Oliver Stone about, so do click the red button, do join us on Locals, where you'll be able to talk to Oliver Stone live, because Oliver Stone, of course, met with Putin, and when he said on Colbert, He went on Colbert, Putin's a reasonable man, he's reasonable, you can talk to Putin.

00:08:38.000 The audience, they booed him, that we've been propagandised to such a degree that people don't even want to talk about reason and diplomacy.

00:08:45.000 He didn't say, Putin's a great man and I love him and I think we should all cover him in talcum powder and praise him like we should.

00:08:51.000 He said, it might be better to have a conversation than ongoing war.

00:08:55.000 Weren't the sanctions supposed to plunge the ruble into a death spiral?

00:08:59.000 Wasn't the severing of the Russian banking system from SWIFT, the international money transfer system, supposed to cripple the Russian economy?

00:09:05.000 How is it the inflation rates in Europe and the United States are higher than in Russia despite these attacks?

00:09:10.000 Wasn't the nearly $150 billion in sophisticated military hardware, financial and humanitarian assistance pledged in the US, EU and 11 other countries Supposed to have turned the tide of the war?

00:09:19.000 Isn't this extraordinary?

00:09:20.000 And yet Mike Pence, who's meant to be in the opposition party to Joe Biden, is advocating for the exact same measures as Joe Biden.

00:09:29.000 And remember, when both sides agree, you have no choice at all.

00:09:34.000 That's what tyranny looks like.

00:09:36.000 And by all accounts, Joe Biden is precisely that. 0.95

00:09:40.000 A tyrant.

00:09:41.000 Have you seen these news stories that Joe Biden's own staff are terrified of him? 0.97

00:09:47.000 That Joe Biden rants and raves like a lunatic?

00:09:49.000 Have you seen that stuff yet? 0.99

00:09:51.000 Have you seen it?

00:09:51.000 It's absolutely amazing.

00:09:53.000 Even CNN are broadcasting this.

00:09:54.000 this, you know that CNN are always advocating for dear old lovely old cuddly old Joe Biden.

00:10:03.000 Let me know why you think they're broadcasting this, because they're really, really attacking

00:10:06.000 him. Is this an attempt to make Joe Biden sound more credible?

00:10:09.000 I think it can only be that. Because when you first watch this, you think, wow, this

00:10:13.000 is CNN on a kind of anti-Biden story? And then the further you get into it, one of our

00:10:18.000 production team, Bad Graphics Jack, made the point earlier.

00:10:21.000 It's his best contribution to the production in some time.

00:10:23.000 And he said, no, this is almost Certainly, a way of framing Biden as someone who's ruthless in a way that he's not.

00:10:30.000 He's framed at the moment as someone who's doddery and forgets what he's saying halfway through sentences.

00:10:35.000 So it's better to frame him as someone who's ruthless and rude to staff than it is someone who's incapable.

00:10:40.000 Let us know on YouTube, if you're one of our 6.5 million awakening wonders there, what you think the purpose of this piece of CNN mainstream propaganda is.

00:10:48.000 If you're watching us on Rumble, join us over on Locals and stay with us, because straight after this, it's Oliver Stone.

00:10:53.000 And tomorrow, it's Ron DeSantis.

00:10:54.000 But now, some propaganda from All right, we know that President Biden likes to cultivate his public image as kindly Uncle Joe, he's often referred to.

00:11:03.000 But apparently behind the scenes, I'm talking about in private, he reportedly has a bit of a temper and unleashes it on his staff.

00:11:10.000 That's according... Unleashes it?

00:11:12.000 He's got this temper and then once in a while, have some of that!

00:11:16.000 He unleashes his temper.

00:11:17.000 How does he keep so upbeat?

00:11:18.000 Do another sweep of those lavatories.

00:11:20.000 ...to an article by Axios.

00:11:22.000 Alex Thompson is the national political reporter and he joins me now.

00:11:26.000 Alex, I'm glad that you're here.

00:11:28.000 We've been on serious... Alex staring down the camera, grinning there.

00:11:31.000 That was a weird move from Alex.

00:11:33.000 Alex should have already been looking at her in my view.

00:11:35.000 Yeah, also, I'm glad that you're here.

00:11:36.000 Feels unnecessary.

00:11:39.000 There's a weird vibe between these two.

00:11:42.000 If you stare down your camera like that, it's menacing.

00:11:44.000 Do Gareth single.

00:11:45.000 Let's have a look at it.

00:11:46.000 Do I have to look down the camera?

00:11:46.000 On here.

00:11:47.000 Look down the camera.

00:11:48.000 Now do a smile.

00:11:49.000 Gareth.

00:11:50.000 Gareth.

00:11:51.000 Oh yes.

00:11:52.000 Now back to mine.

00:11:53.000 Gareth, I'm glad you're here.

00:11:55.000 It's not normal!

00:11:56.000 Mainstream news ain't normal.

00:11:58.000 We can't swear here right now on cable, but let me ask you, many people may not have read this in full to fully

00:12:04.000 understand what exactly President Biden is being accused of doing or

00:12:08.000 how he's behaving.

00:12:09.000 Break it down for me.

00:12:10.000 Yeah, so, you know, in public, maybe he'll whisper a bit when he's trying to make a point, but

00:12:15.000 whisper a bit when he's trying to make a point.

00:12:17.000 Even that's a weird thing to say.

00:12:18.000 This whole news broadcast is really odd.

00:12:20.000 And what is coming now, watch it, stay with us, you're gonna love this, is a description of really weird bad behaviour.

00:12:25.000 Apparently he's aggressive, he scares people, they have to go in teams.

00:12:28.000 You know like how, like, the police won't go into a bad neighbourhood except in pairs?

00:12:32.000 That's what Joe Biden's like.

00:12:33.000 Joe Biden is a one-man bad neighbourhood.

00:12:36.000 Try and close doors.

00:12:37.000 He's prone to yelling, it's much saltier language, and he'll really angrily grill into his staff to the point that some staffers are actually a bit afraid to meet alone with the president.

00:12:49.000 Angrily grilling them?

00:12:51.000 What about the...

00:12:52.000 Why are they not talking about the old, a lot of you people in the, you know what everyone's talking about here in the chat, on locals, press the red button.

00:12:57.000 What's he doing with the sniffy boncies? 1.00

00:13:00.000 Biden doesn't just sniff children, apologetic pets.

00:13:02.000 Oy! 1.00

00:13:03.000 Whispers while he's sniffing kids hair.

00:13:05.000 A lot of you are talking about that.

00:13:06.000 I mean, how can you have a Democrat party that doesn't want Robert F. Kennedy to stand when the incumbent is a crotchy, shouty, head sniffy, what's going on in the lavatories?

00:13:18.000 Dear old sausage, let's call him while we're still on YouTube.

00:13:21.000 When we get on Rumble, we'll really let it fly.

00:13:23.000 Sometimes they'll bring in an extra person or two in order so that the firing line is a little bit distributed among several.

00:13:23.000 Really?

00:13:30.000 Distribute the firing line?

00:13:31.000 They've got a better military policy in the Oval Office than they've got on the front between Ukraine and Russia.

00:13:38.000 Front staffers.

00:13:39.000 This runs really counter to the image that most people, I think, would have of President Biden.

00:13:43.000 How are we knowing this?

00:13:44.000 I mean, how do you get the reporting?

00:13:45.000 Who is complaining about this?

00:13:47.000 Bonnie Boo says CNN know that Biden can't be elected again.

00:13:50.000 They'll be trading him in soon for the next puppet.

00:13:51.000 The process of deselection has begun.

00:13:53.000 Oh, that's another thing.

00:13:54.000 Let us know.

00:13:54.000 Do you think it's that?

00:13:56.000 Or do you think they're trying to make it look like he's tough and stuff?

00:13:58.000 Press the red button.

00:13:58.000 Join us on Locals.

00:13:59.000 Let us know what you think the motivating idea is here.

00:14:04.000 Is it his current former staff?

00:14:06.000 Who?

00:14:06.000 Both.

00:14:07.000 Current, former, and by former I mean former White House staff.

00:14:11.000 Current White House and administration staff.

00:14:13.000 Plus you even have people going back, you know, we had a headline today, we called it Old Yeller.

00:14:19.000 But I can confirm to you that Joe Biden was a young yeller too.

00:14:23.000 And so we even talked to staff that went back to the early 2000s.

00:14:28.000 And the fact is that, you know, this is a guy that has been professionally staffed for more than half of his life.

00:14:33.000 And he's had a long life.

00:14:34.000 So it's been over 50 years where he's had people staffing him.

00:14:38.000 And as a result, there's a generational difference too.

00:14:40.000 You know, he's really, really tough on staff.

00:14:43.000 And he already had that, as he calls, you know, get his Irish up.

00:14:46.000 He already had that Irish temper, you know, really lay into people.

00:14:50.000 And in some cases, you know, make them feel humiliated.

00:14:52.000 A lot of people are saying deselection, some people are saying distraction.

00:14:56.000 Hannah says, wait a sec, wait a sec, taking us away from the, taking us away from the, oh god it's so hard, you guys are typing so fast and there's so many of you.

00:15:05.000 Oh no, excuse me, sorry, taking us away from the real narrative, from looking at what amazing candidates like RFK have to offer.

00:15:12.000 Just trying to distract us.

00:15:13.000 And then SSSSSSSS123 says, I worked for an older professional and we would meet with the manager and him because he would lie and he couldn't remember the things that we had said and not said in meetings.

00:15:23.000 So they have to have witnesses there to make sure that Joe Biden hasn't said a bunch of crazy stuff.

00:15:28.000 The thing is with this, even if, you know, so it's a possible distraction from his challengers, that's one.

00:15:33.000 It's possible that CNN and maybe other kind of left-wing media are vying for someone else in the future, or that they're trying to change his image.

00:15:41.000 But I guess the thing that I think about this is that isn't the point of Biden when he came in, wasn't it that As an alternative to Trump, because we know in terms of economically speaking, there won't be that much difference in terms of their relationship with corporations, their relationship with war and all those things.

00:15:58.000 Sure.

00:15:58.000 It wasn't the point of Biden, he's the much nicer version of Trump.

00:16:01.000 Like, when you've got Trump who's rude and obnoxious and says things that people don't like... Bearing in mind, of course, that you guys absolutely love Donald Trump, right?

00:16:08.000 Sure, I guess, I mean, the media portrayal of it was always, Trump is rude and obnoxious, says things he shouldn't say, isn't a very nice person. 0.99

00:16:16.000 Biden's this lovely, cuddly old grandad, but then when you discover he's not at all, I mean, some of the things that he says, Biden's dressing down of staff often includes profane condemnation, including phrases such as, God damn it, how the F don't you know this, and don't F-ing bullsh-t me, and get the F out of here. 0.98

00:16:35.000 Many of the people in the chat, apologetic press says, Vivek, get Vivek on. 0.98

00:16:39.000 And a lot of people, so we are getting Vivek on.

00:16:43.000 Yep.

00:16:43.000 I do.

00:16:44.000 A lot of people say, I like Trump.

00:16:45.000 He's honest.

00:16:46.000 OK, let's have a little bit more of this broadcast.

00:16:48.000 Make them feel embarrassed, and really feel like, and truly be cussed out.

00:16:53.000 Many might be surprised by this, because you might recall when he spoke about respect and dignity, and the idea that if you're working with him, if you act in that way, you get fired.

00:17:02.000 Well, listen to what he had to say.

00:17:03.000 I'm not joking when I say this.

00:17:10.000 If you're ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot.

00:17:20.000 On the spot.

00:17:21.000 On the spot for talking down to someone.

00:17:23.000 What did he say?

00:17:24.000 Out of the F do not know this.

00:17:26.000 Don't F him BS me. 1.00

00:17:28.000 Get the F out of here. 1.00

00:17:29.000 He's nutcase. 1.00

00:17:31.000 Look at this. 0.94

00:17:31.000 He has erratic tantrums and they come in the form of angry interrogations where he presses both senior and lower level until it becomes clear to others in the room they don't know the answer to the question. 0.94

00:17:40.000 The tactic has become so frequent the staff have named it Stump the Chump.

00:17:45.000 Bad graphics, Jack!

00:17:46.000 Why is there not a Stump the Chump graphic right now, where we try to stump chumps on a near daily basis? 0.92

00:17:54.000 Meanwhile, over on Morning Joe, Micah, that lady, do you remember when I was on there, she kept doing that stuff with the bottle, all that, the shaft grasping, I believe I called it at the time. 0.84

00:18:02.000 She Offers up a further condemnation of Biden's staff, a staff who apparently are being deluged daily under an avalanche of Biden expletives and an avalanche of another white powder as well, seemingly if the lavatory lab tests or anything go by.

00:18:20.000 Look at Micah even now.

00:18:22.000 It's a real weird bit.

00:18:24.000 This is weird news.

00:18:25.000 You know Joe?

00:18:26.000 And that's the first time I've ever seen him.

00:18:27.000 You know Joe?

00:18:28.000 Like it's the first time he's ever shown up.

00:18:30.000 Like Joe, he even looks surprised by it.

00:18:32.000 There's a bit where you see Joe.

00:18:33.000 See if you can spot it with me.

00:18:35.000 There's a bit where Joe goes, why is she saying this for so long?

00:18:37.000 She's like, it's not his fault if he doesn't know the way to walk off a stage.

00:18:40.000 I've been on a stage before.

00:18:42.000 It is confusing to know which way to go.

00:18:44.000 And like Joe gets a bit freaked out a bit.

00:18:46.000 Have a look at this.

00:18:47.000 You'll love this.

00:18:47.000 Join us in the chat, guys.

00:18:49.000 To manage the schedule very carefully.

00:18:51.000 Yeah, I think his staff needs to own his age.

00:18:53.000 I'm just going to be honest.

00:18:55.000 I don't think they do a good job helping out the president.

00:18:58.000 And I'm not talking about it like I'm just saying if you are managing a president's schedule and you are managing a president getting on stage and getting off stage and doing getting on planes and getting off plane.

00:19:10.000 And yes, He's 80.

00:19:11.000 You need to get angry about that!

00:19:14.000 Yes!

00:19:15.000 He's 80!

00:19:16.000 You'll be old one day!

00:19:18.000 I won't be a president, though, one day, will I?

00:19:19.000 Or will I?

00:19:20.000 Maybe, because I did a good job running that little festival.

00:19:22.000 Right, oh, is this where it's leading?

00:19:24.000 Yep, that's right.

00:19:25.000 To be there for him.

00:19:26.000 And you need to make a pathway.

00:19:27.000 And you sure as hell better make sure he doesn't fall on a sandbag. 0.94

00:19:33.000 What is this?

00:19:34.000 This must be the news!

00:19:35.000 People fall down, and they're addressing like a very... They could have just sent a letter!

00:19:39.000 This is an email!

00:19:40.000 You can't do the news as an email!

00:19:42.000 Right!

00:19:43.000 Mum! 0.99

00:19:43.000 Listen! 0.99

00:19:44.000 Will you please, for God's sake, stop sending me these texts!

00:19:47.000 It's getting on my dad!

00:19:48.000 Turn your phone off when I'm talking to Vandana Shiva!

00:19:51.000 For Christ's sake!

00:19:52.000 Mute your phone!

00:19:53.000 Don't use the news to convey your personal antagonisms!

00:19:58.000 What is he trying to do?

00:19:58.000 It's weird!

00:19:59.000 It's like shift the focus.

00:20:00.000 Say Joe Biden, he's capable.

00:20:02.000 Absolutely not.

00:20:03.000 It's their fault.

00:20:04.000 So if he trips over a sandbag, it's not his fault.

00:20:07.000 Why didn't you tell me about that old sandbag?

00:20:09.000 Joe, that was your own ball bag. 0.97

00:20:11.000 It's stretching down to your anklets, you poor sod. 0.96

00:20:14.000 And I blame the staff for that.

00:20:15.000 I mean, these are the things that are going to hurt him.

00:20:18.000 These are things that are going to hurt a vulnerable person, aren't they?

00:20:22.000 Yeah, but also like so is like making loads of Errors and mistakes all the time.

00:20:27.000 So is saying Iraq instead of Ukraine.

00:20:30.000 You know, those are things that surely... There's no member of staff that can get inside Joe Biden's head when he says all those mad mental things.

00:20:37.000 And why did you guys not fit him with an Elon Musk-style Neuralink chip?

00:20:41.000 Like that little marmoset monkey sucking on that metal straw and playing ping pong against itself.

00:20:47.000 You guys should be Neuralinking Joe Biden now and driving him from the inside.

00:20:51.000 Or like Weekend at Bernie's.

00:20:52.000 Why don't you jostle him around and flip his little dead... 1.00

00:20:55.000 Trotters over the top of sandbags so he can't hurt himself.

00:20:59.000 That's too much pressure for the team.

00:21:01.000 Especially after they've been told to eff it up the BS by Biden.

00:21:04.000 Had their heads all sniffed.

00:21:06.000 They've probably tried all of those techniques but they're too scared to enact them.

00:21:11.000 If you want Joe Biden to walk in the right direction, line up some children's heads and just lead him there.

00:21:16.000 It'll be like Hansel and Gretel sniffing the children's head. 0.99

00:21:21.000 He'll truffle snuffle himself like a pig, like a truffle pig. 0.98

00:21:25.000 He'll walk himself. 0.99

00:21:26.000 You can lead him wherever you want.

00:21:27.000 Yeah, just like that.

00:21:28.000 And maybe like some deals with, I don't know, Burisma and stuff like that.

00:21:32.000 Just a little trail of them.

00:21:33.000 Try the child's heads leading to Ukrainian gas companies and Chinese diplomats.

00:21:37.000 It's simple.

00:21:38.000 Why are you not using children's heads as a Hansel and Gretel style guidance system for Joe Biden?

00:21:45.000 Yeah, Micah, you're blaming the victims.

00:21:48.000 He played on a loop.

00:21:50.000 Okay, let him do his job, let him do his speeches, let him work on policy, let him do his connections in Congress, unlike any president that we've seen.

00:22:00.000 Connections in Congress?

00:22:01.000 Joe does look at this point like... Is this the bit where he goes wrong?

00:22:04.000 He just looks baffled by this whole thing.

00:22:06.000 He's sort of shutting down.

00:22:07.000 I don't know, Cindy.

00:22:09.000 I thought he wasn't real for a minute.

00:22:10.000 He glitched out of being, didn't he?

00:22:12.000 Sort of like, shut down.

00:22:15.000 Telling him what's next? 0.83

00:22:16.000 Sandbag.

00:22:18.000 Burisma deal.

00:22:18.000 Laptop in trouble.

00:22:19.000 Brief the CIA.

00:22:20.000 Child's head.

00:22:21.000 You can't all day be telling him what's next.

00:22:23.000 and it's not because... don't, don't take...

00:22:25.000 I'm telling him what's next.

00:22:26.000 Sandbag, Burisma deal, laptop in trouble, brief the CIA, child's head.

00:22:31.000 You can't all day be telling him what's next.

00:22:33.000 It's too confusing.

00:22:34.000 ...this as, oh, he can't even get from one place to another.

00:22:38.000 When you're busy and you're on stage, and we've been on stage...

00:22:41.000 I've been on stage, remember?

00:22:41.000 Right.

00:22:43.000 Oh, yeah, no. 0.96

00:22:44.000 What the hell are you talking about? 0.87

00:22:44.000 What? 0.87

00:22:46.000 He had to jump in there.

00:22:48.000 Right, no, yeah, on the stage.

00:22:49.000 God, it is confusing.

00:22:51.000 I was tripping over sandbags.

00:22:52.000 I was sniffing children on the head.

00:22:54.000 I was doing deals with Burisma for my kids.

00:22:56.000 The whole thing was very, very, very confusing up on that stage.

00:23:02.000 I've done speeches, and I'm so nervous.

00:23:04.000 I'm doing the speech.

00:23:05.000 I'm trying to get it right, and when it's done, I don't know which way to go, and I'm looking for...

00:23:10.000 I was on stage the weekend.

00:23:11.000 Don't know which way it goes.

00:23:12.000 And also, it doesn't matter that much. 0.89

00:23:13.000 Just confidently get off the bloody thing when you've finished talking.

00:23:17.000 And speak in a clear voice and say things that are true.

00:23:20.000 It does seem like she's trying to compare herself to a president at this point, doesn't it?

00:23:24.000 She's saying she should be president.

00:23:26.000 Is that where she's going with this?

00:23:27.000 When I'm president, you won't get any more compassion from me. 0.54

00:23:31.000 Being told to F off up the BS hole and a nice cheeky line in the toilet.

00:23:35.000 Those days are behind you.

00:23:37.000 Let me tell you that.

00:23:39.000 They're not addressing the problem.

00:23:40.000 better job because you can't have these video images of the president tripping

00:23:45.000 or the president like going the wrong way it's not going to work in this

00:23:49.000 presidency because his age is going to be a factor his age is going to be a

00:23:54.000 factor and it's your job to make...

00:23:57.000 They're not addressing the problem.

00:23:59.000 The problem is the age is a factor.

00:24:01.000 This poor decrepit old darling. 1.00

00:24:04.000 We've heard elsewhere off the record that it's much worse and when he's not at work, the poor old sod is senile.

00:24:10.000 He can't even cope.

00:24:12.000 He's not right, is he?

00:24:13.000 The thing is they spend so much of their time saying age isn't a factor and then they say the quiet bit out loud, age is a factor, but blame the people who he works with.

00:24:23.000 Another thing you might want to consider, while Micah and various other sectors of the mainstream news are advocating for Joe Biden's tenure to continue blaming his staff and then trying to portray him as some sort of scarface figure, or as some of you have said in the chat, trying to prepare the way for a new candidate.

00:24:43.000 Not RFK, not that candidate, not someone that people actually want who's anti-corruption, that's pro-unity.

00:24:50.000 Some other stooge that we could stick out from.

00:24:53.000 Meanwhile, there are tit-for-tat cluster bomb attacks being threatened, and NATO's intention is to deal with that by expanding into Asia.

00:25:01.000 But first of all, look at this.

00:25:02.000 Because America have supplied Ukraine with cluster bombs, now Russia's saying, well, why can't we use cluster bombs?

00:25:09.000 It's escalating in the wrong direction.

00:25:11.000 The direction of tit-for-tat cluster bombs.

00:25:13.000 I mean, tit-for-tat's bad if it's insults.

00:25:14.000 Right, exactly.

00:25:15.000 But when it's cluster bombs... When it's cluster bombs, yeah.

00:25:18.000 It's not going the right way, is it?

00:25:18.000 That's worse.

00:25:19.000 That's not the way to end a war.

00:25:21.000 And NATO have just announced that they are going to inevitably expand into Asia.

00:25:26.000 Have we learned nothing from NATO's wild expansionism?

00:25:29.000 Well, this is bipartisan.

00:25:30.000 This is like members of the Democrats and the Republicans that are both saying it's inevitable that NATO will expand into Asia.

00:25:38.000 Which is obviously something that, you know, China are going to have a word to say about that.

00:25:42.000 I'm trying not to be so cheesed off about that.

00:25:43.000 I want to go into more depth, as well as I want to make some jokes about that cocaine story, right?

00:25:48.000 So if you're watching us on YouTube, you can't do it because there's censorship there and that's, you know, you might be one of the 6.5 million wonders.

00:25:53.000 We love you.

00:25:54.000 You are awakening and you are glorious and we couldn't love you more.

00:25:57.000 There's a link in the description.

00:26:12.000 You running your community, your individual freedom.

00:26:15.000 Oh, how do we do anything Russell?

00:26:16.000 What can we do?

00:26:22.000 Join us over on the other place.

00:26:24.000 See you in a minute.

00:26:28.000 Plus, remember, if you're watching us on Rumble, Press the red button.

00:26:38.000 And if you have any questions for Ron DeSantis or Oliver Stone, I will answer them now because I've actually got Ron DeSantis' book.

00:26:43.000 Go on, ask me a question about Ron DeSantis.

00:26:45.000 Go on, ask me a question.

00:26:46.000 What's his favourite pudding?

00:26:47.000 My favourite pudding is chocolate pudding.

00:26:49.000 And why should I sit around like some dope with a spoon when God give me these guys?

00:26:54.000 I call these my five hand spoons.

00:26:56.000 This is what it said.

00:26:57.000 I've got five nature's spoons on the end of my fingers.

00:27:00.000 This is Papa's spoon and this is all the baby's spoons.

00:27:03.000 And I'm gonna scoop up my pudding.

00:27:05.000 You know, he's interviewing him tomorrow.

00:27:07.000 This is the wrong attitude.

00:27:07.000 I know.

00:27:08.000 Sorry, Ron.

00:27:09.000 You're playing into Trump's hands here.

00:27:10.000 Oh no, I'm playing into Trump's hands by ridiculing Ron's hands.

00:27:14.000 Look, let me read this bit of a bit more respectfully.

00:27:17.000 Two weeks after I was re-elected for a third term in November 2016, Casey gave birth to our first child, a baby girl named Madison.

00:27:23.000 That's what's funny, because it's like, she came out named Madison.

00:27:26.000 Like, oh my god, it's Madison!

00:27:28.000 It's Madison, hey!

00:27:29.000 Do you give her that name?

00:27:31.000 If me and my wife... Anyway, I've got to take a piss out of Rotate.

00:27:31.000 That's the way it works.

00:27:33.000 He's coming on the show.

00:27:35.000 We're helping him, are we?

00:27:36.000 Yeah, I mean it's going to be fascinating to talk to him.

00:27:39.000 I like the way we're saying this, do we?

00:27:41.000 We'll find out, won't we?

00:27:42.000 That's the whole point.

00:27:43.000 We'll judge him according to us.

00:27:44.000 We're going to be kind to him.

00:27:46.000 Be kind to everybody.

00:27:47.000 I think Tucker was very respectful but also asked him a lot of difficult questions.

00:27:54.000 What do you like?

00:27:55.000 Who do you like, guys?

00:27:56.000 Primal Calling 2 likes Trump.

00:27:58.000 Who likes RFK?

00:27:59.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:28:00.000 Anyway, we ain't got to solve what nature's wardrobe.

00:28:02.000 That's a weird thing to say. 0.94

00:28:03.000 All right, so listen, should we do the... Oh, shit, why have we not done the Breaking Trump News? 0.97

00:28:07.000 Why did we forget that? 0.92

00:28:09.000 Uh, you seem to want to do... Because I was in a weird state of mind, so I'm tired.

00:28:12.000 That's all right, we can do it now.

00:28:12.000 Breaking News.

00:28:13.000 All right, it's Breaking Trump News.

00:28:14.000 Trump reckons he's going to get arrested.

00:28:15.000 Should we cover that and also... It's mad, all this cocaine.

00:28:17.000 How much cocaine is in that White House?

00:28:19.000 Is that normal?

00:28:20.000 Is it normal to have that much cocaine lying about in places?

00:28:22.000 Well, if you test the toilets here, there better not be any cocaine.

00:28:25.000 Is there some?

00:28:26.000 I've not seen any, no.

00:28:28.000 Because, like, you know, what about when you go out and you can't afford no cocaine?

00:28:30.000 You can just see if there's some left on the toilet seat.

00:28:33.000 This is terrible advice.

00:28:33.000 This is when I was younger.

00:28:35.000 Are we off YouTube yet?

00:28:36.000 We're off.

00:28:36.000 Right, OK.

00:28:37.000 So, like... Fine.

00:28:38.000 Don't do drugs.

00:28:39.000 I'm drug-free.

00:28:40.000 20 years.

00:28:40.000 You can't go around tapping toilet seats.

00:28:43.000 I would. 0.61

00:28:43.000 I'd go like that and then just... Oh, that's disgusting. 0.61

00:28:45.000 What about the faecal matter?

00:28:47.000 I don't care about that.

00:28:48.000 That's a bonus.

00:28:49.000 I call that the bonus is a bit of faecal matter.

00:28:52.000 Dear me.

00:28:52.000 A little bit of that.

00:28:54.000 You didn't?

00:28:54.000 White and brown.

00:28:55.000 Bit of both.

00:28:56.000 You didn't get a taste for it, did you?

00:28:58.000 I eat it like Rhonda Sanders, like I'm scooping up my puddings.

00:28:58.000 Lolly!

00:29:02.000 I want me pudding!

00:29:04.000 I want me pudding! 0.59

00:29:06.000 Come on, what the hell is Trump being arrested for?

00:29:09.000 What's he done this week?

00:29:10.000 Well, he's saying that he's going to be arrested and indicted again.

00:29:13.000 Again? 0.88

00:29:14.000 Can't keep arresting him and indicting the poor old sod.

00:29:16.000 Yeah, so this is over efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

00:29:19.000 Let's have a look at his post.

00:29:20.000 I.e.

00:29:20.000 Jan 6th.

00:29:21.000 Look at what he says.

00:29:22.000 I love his post.

00:29:22.000 I'm not on Truth Social because I'm on Locals.

00:29:25.000 Join us on Locals.

00:29:26.000 Press the red button now.

00:29:28.000 Wow, on Sunday night while I was with my- This is really good!

00:29:30.000 While I was with my family, having just arrived from the turning point in Florida where I won a straw poll against all other Republican candidates with 85%.

00:29:39.000 All polls show me leading by very substantial numbers.

00:29:42.000 Almost everyone predicted that I would be a Republican nominee for president and as I am leading Democrat Joe Biden in the polls by a lot.

00:29:47.000 Horrifying news for our country was given to me by our attorneys.

00:29:51.000 Deranged Jack Smith.

00:29:53.000 Deranged.

00:29:54.000 It's a good word deranged. 0.96

00:29:55.000 Special counsel.

00:29:57.000 Deranged. 0.97

00:29:58.000 And now for our selection of special counsel, a deranged person. 0.97

00:30:03.000 Deranged.

00:30:04.000 Well, I'm going to look that up on a dictionary, what deranged means.

00:30:07.000 Because it's a really very specific piece of language.

00:30:10.000 To call someone deranged is pretty much out there, isn't it?

00:30:13.000 Did you find that thing from Community, that post I was on about on Instagram?

00:30:17.000 Not that I want to do it now, but that was the last thing I was looking at on there, because when Joe Rogan texted me and goes, are you starting a cult?

00:30:24.000 And I went...

00:30:25.000 Not really.

00:30:25.000 Just trying my best.

00:30:27.000 Deranged.

00:30:28.000 Make someone a... Oh no, not deranger.

00:30:30.000 Deranged-er.

00:30:31.000 I want it as a... yeah.

00:30:33.000 This is Live Dictionary with Russell Brand.

00:30:35.000 Dictionary Live. 0.97

00:30:35.000 Mad, insane, a deranged gunman. 0.97

00:30:38.000 That's what comes up. 1.00

00:30:39.000 Deranged.

00:30:40.000 There you go.

00:30:41.000 Deranged.

00:30:42.000 Deranged, that Jack Smith is.

00:30:45.000 He sent a letter again.

00:30:46.000 It was Sunday night.

00:30:47.000 He don't want to get letters on Sunday night, does he?

00:30:49.000 No, that's the main thing that he's angry about.

00:30:51.000 Wait till Monday morning before telling me that I'm going to get arrested.

00:30:56.000 Give me a very short four days to report to the Grand Jury, which means almost certainly an arrest and indictment.

00:31:03.000 But does anyone Well, it doesn't seem to harm him.

00:31:06.000 I mean, I guess this is just a way in which he'll go up in the polls again.

00:31:10.000 I mean, he can basically predict that, you know?

00:31:13.000 Right.

00:31:13.000 Because that's what's happened every single time.

00:31:15.000 Because in a sense, people are not reading what this fundamentally means.

00:31:20.000 There are some people that have so little trust in the media and the establishment and the judiciary that whatever the media establishment and judiciary say about Trump, they will not stop liking Trump.

00:31:28.000 They will, in fact, like Trump more.

00:31:30.000 And then there are other people that hate Trump so much that even when Trump says, Things that surely everyone should agree of like like when he was in that town or thing saying everyone I just want people to stop dying and the CNN report was going so you want to win?

00:31:43.000 Yeah, like it was UFC.

00:31:45.000 So you want to win?

00:31:46.000 I don't I just want the Warsaw if that was a like a liberal left-wing person from years ago if I'm gonna surely would have gone Oh, yeah.

00:31:52.000 Well, I suppose the right would have gone you crazy.

00:31:54.000 Peace Nick Yeah, and other people would have got like that.

00:31:57.000 I think said that that was rational like Gandhi peace.

00:31:59.000 Oh I think every time this happens and he's arrested and indicted again.

00:32:02.000 I'm not comparing Trump to Gandhi.

00:32:04.000 It just kind of shows that the, you know, Democrats are obsessed by Trump.

00:32:04.000 No, I know.

00:32:10.000 You know, I think that's the narrative that it plays to in there.

00:32:11.000 It's like that you are obsessed with bringing down Trump.

00:32:14.000 And I don't think that shows you in a light of confidence No!

00:32:20.000 I think they're all out of ideas.

00:32:24.000 Like when you see Pence talking, Mike Pence talking about attacking, you think, what is this geezer on about? 0.65

00:32:28.000 Sort of advocating for yet more war.

00:32:31.000 It's just, there's a dearth of ideas.

00:32:33.000 They're obsessed with those kind of characters because, I just want to read like a bit more of that stuff about Russia.

00:32:39.000 They're so bereft of ideas.

00:32:41.000 What's this bit?

00:32:42.000 Yeah, this is my favourite bit.

00:32:43.000 This is my favourite bit from the Chris Hedges article.

00:32:46.000 Check this out.

00:32:48.000 Check out this.

00:32:50.000 What of the Ukrainian democracy that we're fighting to protect?

00:32:53.000 Why did the Ukrainian parliament revoke the official use of minority languages, including Russian, three days after the 2014 coup?

00:33:00.000 How do we rationalise the eight years of warfare against ethnic Russians in the Donbass region before the Russian invasion in February 2022?

00:33:07.000 How do we explain the killing of over 14,000 people and the 1.5 million people who were displaced before Russia's invasion took place last year?

00:33:14.000 Hedges acknowledges it's a criminal invasion, but look at all of these questions that are unanswered and would remain unanswered under the candidature and indeed presidency of Mike Pence.

00:33:24.000 More of the same, that's what he's offering.

00:33:26.000 Because what Chris Hedges is offering us is that it's irrelevant which party you vote

00:33:30.000 for, you're going to get the military-industrial complex.

00:33:33.000 And even just on this issue of war, a candidate like Trump or candidates like RFK are saying

00:33:37.000 we are anti-establishment, populist candidacies.

00:33:41.000 One of the things I'm most excited by is the return of real populism, the populare, the

00:33:46.000 people, all of us, politics that represents people, not a cadre of experts that tell you

00:33:52.000 what you're supposed to think.

00:33:53.000 The consultancy of experts is necessary in various fields and for the advancement of technology and science and medicine and innumerable interwoven disciplines, of course it is.

00:34:04.000 But the fact is that democracy has to be representative of the will of the people, otherwise it's not democracy anymore.

00:34:11.000 The game's over.

00:34:12.000 How do we defend a decision by President Vladimir Putin?

00:34:15.000 Zelensky to ban 11 opposition parties.

00:34:18.000 How can we accept the banning of these opposition parties, many of which are on the left, while Zelensky allows fascists from the Sovoboda... Sovoboda, what's that, mate? 0.54

00:34:25.000 Sovoboda, I think.

00:34:26.000 Thanks.

00:34:27.000 And right sector parties, as well as the banned right Azov battalion and other extremist militias to flourish.

00:34:33.000 How do we deal with the anti-Russian purges and arrests of supposed fifth columnists sweeping through Ukraine?

00:34:39.000 It's extraordinary how many unanswered questions there are.

00:34:43.000 You can't answer those questions without pulling apart the fabric that is the tapestry of lies that underwrites this entire conflict.

00:34:51.000 Yeah, I think, like, simply put, as Chris Hedges writes, the government has spent, since the end of the Second World War, the government has spent between 45% and 90% of the federal budget, 90% of the federal budget, on past, current, or future military operations.

00:35:05.000 It's the largest sustained activity of the US government.

00:35:08.000 That is the role of the government.

00:35:10.000 And Tucker Carlson's point there with Mike Pence was, why are we even involved in this thing?

00:35:15.000 American cities and American society is falling apart, and what Pence is offering, the stump that he's offering up is, I'm going to do more of that stuff.

00:35:24.000 RFK says, end the forever wars.

00:35:27.000 Trump says, end this conflict.

00:35:29.000 And he says sort of proper out there stuff as well, doesn't he?

00:35:31.000 I will give Ukraine so much weapons, more weapons than ever. 0.97

00:35:34.000 Best weapons.

00:35:36.000 Absolutely insane.

00:35:36.000 Insane.

00:35:38.000 Well, we hope that this is a potential turning point for all of us.

00:35:43.000 This emergence of populism.

00:35:45.000 What can we offer up about the cocaine story though?

00:35:45.000 Why?

00:35:47.000 What have we got to say left about it?

00:35:49.000 Is there more information on the cocaine story?

00:35:51.000 Because we could just go to... We did a poll.

00:35:55.000 What's making Biden so angry?

00:35:57.000 What did you guys vote for?

00:35:59.000 33,000 votes.

00:36:00.000 UFOs, are they making him angry?

00:36:01.000 90%?

00:36:02.000 Resurgence of Trump's making him.

00:36:04.000 Illicit substances in the White House.

00:36:05.000 We couldn't say cocaine, we just had to do that snuffing.

00:36:07.000 Can't say cocaine in a poll.

00:36:09.000 Did they say that or did we say that?

00:36:10.000 Did we predetermine that?

00:36:11.000 Did we guess it?

00:36:12.000 We can't say cocaine.

00:36:14.000 You mustn't say cocaine.

00:36:15.000 That's why we've got to be on Rumble.

00:36:15.000 See?

00:36:16.000 The weird thing about this story... Can't even chat about cocaine!

00:36:19.000 The weird thing about this story is that the details are changing all the time.

00:36:22.000 So, numerous details about the investigation have been changed.

00:36:25.000 Originally, dispatchers sent to the White House on Sunday to investigate the substance said it was found in the library.

00:36:30.000 I mean, it's literally like Cluedo.

00:36:31.000 It is Cluedo!

00:36:32.000 Then it was reported to be in the West Wing lobby.

00:36:34.000 Now it's reported to be a floor below the lobby in an area used by staff officials, visitors and VIPs, including Kamala Harris' staff.

00:36:41.000 It can't be Kamala Harris because she's not focused enough to be regularly using cocaine. 0.99

00:36:45.000 One thing about cocaine is it does enable you to make your way through a sentence quite assiduously and diligently, I would say.

00:36:53.000 One way you know someone's lying is when they change their story and they're like, oh, that cocaine, sorry, yeah, I put that in the library, what is it?

00:36:59.000 I was staying up late.

00:37:00.000 There's no justification.

00:37:01.000 Is there for having cocaine in the White House?

00:37:04.000 Well, who is it going to be?

00:37:06.000 Because initially, the whole thing at the start of it, this was the stories, it was a member of the public because, like, I don't think anyone takes cocaine in their 80s do they?

00:37:13.000 coming out is, no the public probably didn't have access to these areas it's

00:37:17.000 much more like it's been a member of staff in some way and then it's like how

00:37:21.000 high does that go? So they just have to keep changing where they found this coke.

00:37:25.000 I don't think anyone takes cocaine in their 80s do they? I mean like just in

00:37:29.000 the chat do you know what's the oldest person you've known to take cocaine?

00:37:33.000 I mean, even Keith Richards.

00:37:35.000 Like, he's knocked you on the head now, isn't he?

00:37:37.000 Like, proper old people. 1.00

00:37:37.000 Jagger. 1.00

00:37:39.000 That's not an old man's drug.

00:37:40.000 I do like the route that this show's gone down.

00:37:42.000 We started with Trump and Mike Pence, and now it's like, what's the oldest person to have ever taken cocaine?

00:37:49.000 Jim Irve, see, 137, just says, why not?

00:37:52.000 Because they're too old!

00:37:53.000 You can't do cocaine when you're old.

00:37:56.000 You have heart attack.

00:37:57.000 Yeah.

00:37:58.000 A reason to avoid a lot of substances.

00:38:01.000 This is what Joe Rogan... Have a look at this clip.

00:38:01.000 Hey, have a look at this.

00:38:04.000 This is the very clip.

00:38:05.000 Yeah, all right, fair enough.

00:38:06.000 Take drugs if you want.

00:38:06.000 I don't mind.

00:38:07.000 I believe in freedom.

00:38:07.000 It's none of my business.

00:38:10.000 I just don't take them, and I don't think drug addicts should.

00:38:11.000 This is the Instagram reel, I think, that led Joe Rogan to say, are you starting a cult?

00:38:17.000 This is from me, community, this weekend.

00:38:17.000 Let's have a look.

00:38:20.000 It was like a... Well, not a cult, because cults are bad.

00:38:23.000 You need some PR on this, I would suggest.

00:38:25.000 Why don't you do my PR?

00:38:26.000 You're supposed to be doing... Do the PR!

00:38:28.000 What is it?

00:38:29.000 This?

00:38:29.000 This is not a cult in any way.

00:38:31.000 Don't need one?

00:38:32.000 No.

00:38:33.000 Ignore what he's wearing, what he's saying, just the general setting.

00:38:33.000 This is not a cult.

00:38:38.000 Ignore all of that.

00:38:38.000 This is not a cult.

00:38:39.000 This is not a cult.

00:38:40.000 Let's have a look at it.

00:38:42.000 Thank you so much for joining us for this important community event.

00:38:49.000 You are not only allowed to participate, you are required to participate.

00:38:54.000 In the presence of the spirit of the goddess of the river, why currently, we don't even now understand why, because she's hard to explain how centralised He's going to be a dominant player in the National Cup, in

00:39:12.000 Sampoong, on the River Watt.

00:39:14.000 Sampoong! 0.88

00:39:44.000 It's a bunch of guys having a nice time in a field, if you ask me.

00:39:47.000 Nothing wrong with that.

00:39:48.000 Nothing wrong with that trip to the salad bar that you took afterwards.

00:39:52.000 What trip?

00:39:52.000 Will I go on?

00:39:53.000 No.

00:39:53.000 Oh, I see.

00:39:54.000 Like a wild, wild country.

00:39:54.000 I see.

00:39:55.000 Sure, sure.

00:39:56.000 Someone, my mate Rory, goes, he goes, I like this.

00:39:58.000 Do you know, he goes, I like what you're doing.

00:40:00.000 He reminds me of that thing on Netflix, you know, Waco.

00:40:03.000 No, mate, that's not a good example.

00:40:05.000 Everyone ended up dying.

00:40:06.000 I think Rory's on to something there.

00:40:08.000 We're not interested in cults.

00:40:10.000 Democracy.

00:40:11.000 Leaderless.

00:40:12.000 Fully democratic.

00:40:13.000 Replicated.

00:40:14.000 No centralised power.

00:40:15.000 Yeah, I know.

00:40:16.000 Waco.

00:40:16.000 Miles Driver.

00:40:17.000 That was a terrible, terrible holiday.

00:40:19.000 Waco, wasn't it?

00:40:19.000 That ended very badly.

00:40:21.000 Started off well.

00:40:22.000 Bit of Christianity. 0.76

00:40:23.000 nice little sunglasses but ended up with the murder of actual children by the FBI

00:40:28.000 so that's not an advantage. Also yeah don't drink Kool-Aid.

00:40:31.000 People, leaderlessness.

00:40:32.000 Awaken yourself individually. Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters.

00:40:35.000 Hey listen, if you're a member of our locals community, if you're a member of

00:40:40.000 our locals community, which you should be, Oliver Stone's coming up in a minute,

00:40:42.000 we'll be able to have a... do your chats for your questions for Oliver.

00:40:47.000 Can we have a look at this?

00:40:48.000 This clip of Oliver Stone.

00:40:49.000 Let's have a little look at this.

00:40:50.000 And tomorrow, Ron DeSantis, who I can't wait to speak to actually because I'm very excited about what's going on there in Florida.

00:40:55.000 That's the home of Rumble, right?

00:40:58.000 Rumble there in Sarasota.

00:40:59.000 That's right.

00:41:00.000 Everyone was so nice there.

00:41:01.000 We love our brothers and sisters over there in Sarasota, Florida.

00:41:03.000 Let's have a look at the Oliver Stone meeting Putin.

00:41:06.000 Is this what this is?

00:41:07.000 I think so.

00:41:07.000 Let's have a look.

00:41:08.000 This is a video of the news.

00:41:16.000 Mighty Mouse.

00:41:17.000 No, that's cool.

00:41:18.000 We'll be on the ice looking at you.

00:41:19.000 Any advice?

00:41:20.000 Do they check him as hard as they want?

00:41:22.000 Why should they?

00:41:24.000 You look colorful.

00:41:25.000 Mighty Mouse.

00:41:26.000 No, that's cool.

00:41:27.000 We'll be on the ice looking at you.

00:41:28.000 Any advice?

00:41:29.000 Thank you.

00:41:30.000 Do they check him as hard as they want?

00:41:31.000 Why should they?

00:41:32.000 Everything is just fine.

00:41:33.000 Well, he looks a lot healthier than Joe Biden, doesn't he?

00:41:34.000 He's got a lot of muscle.

00:41:55.000 They're always trying to say, oh he's got cancer and that, his bum's falling out, he don't look well, I saw a bogey hanging out his nose, he was unaware of it.

00:42:02.000 Look at him, he's right as rain.

00:42:03.000 I mean if there's cocaine in the Kremlin, at least he's using it to make him effective.

00:42:08.000 Alright, so we'll be chatting.

00:42:08.000 Nt.

00:42:10.000 So click on that red button right now and join us on Locals for our chat with Oliver Stone.

00:42:15.000 We're going to ask him about Putin.

00:42:16.000 We're going to ask him about JFK.

00:42:17.000 We're going to ask him what yet has not been revealed.

00:42:20.000 And RFK.

00:42:21.000 All the Ks. 0.96

00:42:24.000 You named the Ks, baby.

00:42:25.000 We're going to ask him.

00:42:26.000 But now, censorship.

00:42:29.000 What the hell is it?

00:42:30.000 I'm getting a bit tired of this censorship.

00:42:31.000 Yeah, I know.

00:42:32.000 It's getting wrong.

00:42:34.000 I've had it with censorship, Gal.

00:42:35.000 I know.

00:42:36.000 I've took all I'm going to take.

00:42:37.000 Do you know in particular, this Ukrainian censorship, can you remember what this presentation was about?

00:42:43.000 Well, absolutely.

00:42:44.000 Go on then.

00:42:45.000 Well, it's about journalists, US journalists, and the kind of hypocrisy about some journalists being in jail in Russia.

00:42:52.000 Oh yeah, this is good this.

00:42:54.000 I remember this.

00:42:54.000 Some journalists in Ukraine being held, but that's fine, we won't really speak about it.

00:42:59.000 Because what it is, is I go into a trance when I'm doing these.

00:43:01.000 No, I know, I know.

00:43:02.000 Your leader's speaking to you at this point.

00:43:02.000 A real trance.

00:43:04.000 Listen, when I'm going into my trance talking about like how you've got American journalists banged up in Ukraine, no one mentions it.

00:43:11.000 American journalists banged up in Russia.

00:43:13.000 Oh, they were going on, oh, right, journalists, you've got to respect journalists.

00:43:16.000 You're going to love this.

00:43:18.000 Someone was saying in the chat, Bonnie Boo says, I haven't seen young Putin for ages.

00:43:21.000 Go to gallery cam.

00:43:22.000 Young Putin's in there.

00:43:23.000 Young Putin, face the camera.

00:43:25.000 There he is.

00:43:26.000 See him?

00:43:26.000 There he is.

00:43:27.000 There's young Putin.

00:43:27.000 He's waving now.

00:43:28.000 He's there with all the glads.

00:43:30.000 Bad graphics, Jack.

00:43:30.000 60% out.

00:43:31.000 All of them in there.

00:43:32.000 Look at that little motley crew of swabs running this operation. 1.00

00:43:36.000 Hey, let's learn a little bit more about Ukrainian censorship and why some journalists are more important than others and why some propaganda is more valuable than others.

00:43:43.000 Here's the news.

00:43:44.000 No, here's the effing news.

00:43:47.000 Here's the news. 1.00

00:43:48.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:43:52.000 Release all journalists being held overseas! 0.99

00:43:55.000 Free speech!

00:43:56.000 Free press!

00:43:57.000 What about ones you disagree with?

00:43:59.000 Release all journalists that you agree with overseas!

00:44:02.000 The other ones?

00:44:03.000 Just leave them in prison! 0.98

00:44:06.000 Joe Biden, you'll remember, in his press correspondence dinner propaganda thing, said, we should release journalists.

00:44:12.000 It's disgusting to have journalists held for reporting the truth.

00:44:14.000 Meanwhile, there's a journalist being held in Ukraine, and no one seems to be talking about that journalist and their right for freedom. 0.65

00:44:21.000 So is this another example of hypocrisy?

00:44:23.000 We support free speech when we agree with them.

00:44:25.000 We don't support free speech when we disagree with them.

00:44:28.000 That's the most important one, isn't it?

00:44:29.000 Surely, for all of us.

00:44:31.000 I mean, these principles are incumbent on all of us.

00:44:32.000 Let's have a look at this news story.

00:44:34.000 The free press is a pillar, maybe the pillar.

00:44:38.000 Do you think he said that because there's a pillar in his eyeline?

00:44:42.000 The free press is a pillar, or a window with a lamp in it and some railings.

00:44:47.000 The free press is a pillar, maybe the pillar for a free society, not the enemy.

00:44:55.000 Thomas Jefferson wrote...

00:44:58.000 No, because Thomas Jefferson... Thomas Jefferson wrote, we're left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government.

00:45:09.000 I should not hesitate to prefer the latter.

00:45:12.000 That's not a principle that they realistically espouse.

00:45:15.000 They've just been busted for bothering social media sites that publish dissenting information.

00:45:21.000 Believing in free speech means you believe in the free speech of people that disagree with you.

00:45:25.000 That's a very difficult thing to commit to, because I think all of us would prefer to go, no, shut up, I don't want to listen to you, I don't agree with you.

00:45:31.000 But it's particularly relevant when you're legislating.

00:45:34.000 It's particularly relevant when you're censoring.

00:45:36.000 It's particularly relevant when campaigning for the release of one journalist who happens to represent your views by ignoring another journalist who you may disagree with.

00:45:45.000 Our message is this.

00:45:47.000 Journalism is not a crime.

00:45:50.000 Julian Assange was 52 the other day.

00:45:52.000 Try telling him that journalism isn't a crime.

00:45:54.000 You won't be able to because you won't be able to get a visit.

00:45:57.000 Evan and Austin should be released immediately along with every other American held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad.

00:46:04.000 Every other one, so there you go, that's the criteria.

00:46:07.000 Are you a journalist?

00:46:08.000 Yeah.

00:46:08.000 Are you in prison abroad?

00:46:09.000 Yeah.

00:46:10.000 Good, because we've just established a principle that, unless it's lies, is going to help you.

00:46:15.000 Biden devoted the bulk of his remarks to a lengthy declaration of his opposition to the repressive measures taken against journalists in Russia, China, Iran, Syria and Venezuela.

00:46:25.000 Hmm, Have those countries got anything else in common?

00:46:28.000 Russia? 0.61

00:46:29.000 Proxy war.

00:46:30.000 China? 0.73

00:46:30.000 Plan for war. 0.73

00:46:31.000 Iran? 0.79

00:46:32.000 Plan for war in Donald's secret boxes.

00:46:34.000 Syria? 0.58

00:46:35.000 Drone in them the whole time.

00:46:36.000 Venezuela?

00:46:37.000 They got oil that they shouldn't have.

00:46:38.000 It's not very good oil, but we want it anyway.

00:46:41.000 We would have gotten all that oil, it would have been right next door.

00:46:43.000 And pledges to devote US diplomatic efforts to winning the release of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich recently arrested on bogus spying charges in Russia and other American prisoners of the Putin regime.

00:46:55.000 They should be released.

00:46:56.000 Evan Gershkovich ought be released.

00:46:58.000 Show me what to sign.

00:46:59.000 Tell me what to do.

00:47:00.000 Of course I agree that it's wrong that someone that was in Russia investigating Russian corruption is currently in prison.

00:47:05.000 I support his release.

00:47:05.000 He should be released.

00:47:06.000 Why I don't support is using those stories to push an agenda while ignoring comparable cases because you can't use them to exploit or amplify a message that's convenient to you or to vilify or criminalize a country that you want to have wars with or want to ransack for resources.

00:47:23.000 That makes you think that they don't actually care about Evan Gerskovich.

00:47:27.000 Do they?

00:47:27.000 Do they care about Evan Gerskovich?

00:47:29.000 Or are they using him?

00:47:30.000 Let me know in the comments.

00:47:31.000 The coincidence between the list of countries guilty for violating press freedom and the list of countries targeted by American imperialism for subversion and overthrow was obvious.

00:47:40.000 Yes, because it's the same list!

00:47:42.000 That's why it's so obvious.

00:47:42.000 It's like when people say that Harry Potter and Star Wars is the same story.

00:47:46.000 A little Jedi, stroke wizard, is helped by Hagrid, stroke Ben Kenobi.

00:47:51.000 Then he finds out that Voldemort, Darth Vader, is actually his dad.

00:47:54.000 It's the same thing! 0.82

00:47:55.000 It's the same bloody list!

00:47:56.000 So we're using this speech, of course, to illustrate the hypocrisy of saying that all journalists should be freed and only focusing on journalists that you agree with.

00:48:04.000 Of course, Evan Gershkovich should be freed.

00:48:06.000 But what about Gonzalo Lira?

00:48:07.000 Let's have a look at why those cases are being treated differently.

00:48:10.000 Meanwhile, a United States citizen has been arrested in Ukraine for allegedly expressing strong criticism against the government's war with Russia.

00:48:17.000 And the Biden administration said on Monday that they will not comment on the matter.

00:48:21.000 Why not?

00:48:22.000 Why won't they comment on the matter?

00:48:23.000 Why won't they comment on the matter?

00:48:25.000 Because it's not convenient?

00:48:26.000 Because it's not consistent with what they're pushing elsewhere?

00:48:29.000 Gonzalo Lira, a writer and YouTuber, who has been an outspoken critic of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky... Hello, Volodymyr!

00:48:36.000 was arrested earlier this month.

00:48:38.000 The Ukrainian government has charged Lera with violating sections 2 and 3 of article 4362 of Ukraine's criminal code,

00:48:47.000 which prohibits portraying the military conflict in Ukraine as an internal civil conflict, the outlet reports.

00:48:52.000 If convicted, Lera faces up to 13 years in prison.

00:48:56.000 Um, a U.S.

00:48:58.000 citizen who is residing in Ukraine has been arrested.

00:49:01.000 Are you guys aware of this?

00:49:03.000 How do we feel about our allies, you know, detaining U.S.

00:49:06.000 citizens for speech abroad?

00:49:08.000 So I will say in general that we're aware of the report.

00:49:12.000 We obviously support the exercise of freedom of speech anywhere in the world, and I'll leave it at that.

00:49:18.000 I'll leave it at that.

00:49:19.000 But we won't back it up with actions.

00:49:20.000 That's how government works these days, isn't it?

00:49:22.000 I'll just tell you what I've already told you, but not do anything that would demonstrate that I actually mean it or care about it.

00:49:29.000 Seems like a perfectly reasonable question.

00:49:31.000 There's an American citizen who's being detained in Ukraine, who are an ally.

00:49:35.000 What are we going to do about that?

00:49:36.000 Because it's against their principles.

00:49:37.000 Well, I'll just tell you again, that's wrong.

00:49:40.000 So you're going to do something?

00:49:41.000 No, nothing.

00:49:41.000 But if there's someone that you can use for publicity, we'll do something about that.

00:49:46.000 So is it then that you just use these principles, and maybe even wars themselves, if you already have an agenda?

00:49:53.000 Because I can't help but notice that Russia, China, Iran, Syria, and Venezuela, the countries that you've said are particularly bad when it comes to press freedom, also seem to have stuff you want.

00:50:05.000 No, they don't, but I'm not willing to prove that and or comment on it, so shut up.

00:50:09.000 So you guys aren't working to get him released? 0.78

00:50:12.000 I'm going to leave my comments where I just left them.

00:50:15.000 I'm going to leave my comments where I just left them, there, floating about, sort of looking a bit like lies and excuses.

00:50:20.000 Actually, I'm going to move... Just get those comments out of here! 1.00

00:50:23.000 In March 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky invoked his emergency powers under martial law to suppress several opposition political parties and implement a unified information policy, i.e.

00:50:33.000 nationalised TV news.

00:50:35.000 Unified information!

00:50:37.000 That is a propagandist way to describe propaganda.

00:50:40.000 Shouldn't we unify information?

00:50:42.000 Yeah, let's unify.

00:50:43.000 You know when information all scattered about, arguing with each other?

00:50:46.000 That's centralizing the control of communication, information.

00:50:50.000 That's terrible.

00:50:51.000 So someone who disagrees with it, like, hey, I don't agree with that, you might have to go to prison for not unifying information.

00:50:57.000 In January, Zelensky passed the bill, meaning that it will be able to regulate all media in Ukraine.

00:51:02.000 All!

00:51:02.000 So you're not allowed to have media in Ukraine unless it's regulated.

00:51:06.000 So is this the freedom that we're fighting for?

00:51:08.000 Of course what they'll say is, oh, it's temporary under pressure.

00:51:11.000 No one's saying that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is not criminal. 0.99

00:51:14.000 But that's authoritarianism, isn't it?

00:51:16.000 You can't have American taxpayer dollars being poured into Ukraine to fight against a criminal entity without there being some provisos and conditions placed upon that.

00:51:27.000 Otherwise, there's no purpose to what you're fighting for.

00:51:30.000 You have to look at the nuances and complexity of the situation.

00:51:33.000 Russia's invasion, criminal and bad, but seemingly provoked over time. 0.85

00:51:37.000 Ukraine's authoritarianism doesn't seem good.

00:51:40.000 If journalists can't question what the state are doing, then what is it we're defending?

00:51:44.000 We have to defend because Russia are bad. 1.00

00:51:46.000 Yeah, but hold on, isn't that also bad? 0.99

00:51:47.000 Shut up, we ain't got time for that. 1.00

00:51:49.000 That's the obligation you have. 0.99

00:51:50.000 Otherwise, there's no purpose to anything.

00:51:52.000 And we all start to think, well, what are we fighting for?

00:51:55.000 Think about during the pandemic.

00:51:56.000 Oh, we're all locked down.

00:51:57.000 Why is it?

00:51:57.000 Oh, because we're helping people.

00:51:58.000 But are we helping people if they tested? 1.00

00:52:00.000 Shut up! 1.00

00:52:01.000 Shut up! 1.00

00:52:01.000 Things don't make sense anymore. 1.00

00:52:02.000 Information's being controlled.

00:52:04.000 Information's being centralized.

00:52:05.000 Information's being censored.

00:52:06.000 You can't question that or you're one of the baddies.

00:52:08.000 You're not patriotic.

00:52:09.000 Didn't I used to be the right wing? 0.99

00:52:10.000 Shut up, it's the left wing now. 0.92

00:52:11.000 The whole thing is like a sort of a giddy delirium of language and I believe it's because it's not... 0.98

00:52:16.000 Anchored to any principles except for the agenda of dominion, control and profit.

00:52:22.000 Those are the only things where I can sort of consistently track, oh well that's beneficial to those interests, oh that's also beneficial to those interests.

00:52:29.000 That's the only thing that makes sense.

00:52:30.000 When I try to make sense of it using, well we're helping Ukraine because it's wrong and it's a humanitarian crisis, immediately a load of questions come to mind.

00:52:38.000 What about the people in Yemen?

00:52:39.000 What about the people in these various territories that we've exploited ourselves?

00:52:43.000 You can't hold it in your head if you ask those questions.

00:52:47.000 That's why you're not allowed to ask those questions.

00:52:49.000 Under previous legislation enacted in 2019 under the Zelensky government, the council has the power to issue licenses, conduct inspections and impose sanctions on television and radio companies, Ukra News reported.

00:53:02.000 The new law allows the council to regulate print and online media, as well as internet, television and information sharing platforms such as YouTube and social networks.

00:53:10.000 The regulator will be able to impose mandatory orders and fines and even suspend media outlets without a court decision.

00:53:17.000 Under the law, the council can also restrict content from search engines such as Google.

00:53:22.000 It's interesting that already the post-war future in Ukraine has been discussed, Zelensky making a deal with BlackRock Blackrock, J.P.

00:53:31.000 Morgan and Golden Sox.

00:53:33.000 To make it a digital company that's fully regulated and fully controlled where there are no union laws.

00:53:39.000 Increasingly it looks like this is not about protecting the people of Ukraine.

00:53:43.000 It's about advancing a certain set of interests, the pursuit of certain resources, the ability to pilot new legislation and social models, break down Russia as an international threat. 0.81

00:53:53.000 All those arguments make more sense to me than we care about Ukrainian people. 0.64

00:53:57.000 Diplomacy would be much higher up the agenda if that Both the European Federation of Journalists and the Committee to Protect Journalists have opposed the measure and in September Ukraine's own National Union of Journalists called the law the biggest threat to press freedom in Ukraine's independent history.

00:54:13.000 So if you believe and agree with what Joe Biden said that in the case of America and in the words of Jefferson the press is more important than the government what he was saying there is free speech.

00:54:23.000 Jefferson's principle applied now means you wouldn't censor social media, you'd allow people to freely communicate.

00:54:29.000 Of course, you then have to, if you agree with that, you have to recognize that this is wrong,

00:54:35.000 and that the reason to protect Ukraine is because you believe in freedom, and if you believe in freedom,

00:54:40.000 then measures like that are hypocritical and at odds with that principle, and

00:54:44.000 questioning that, pointing that out, is important, vital, necessary.

00:54:49.000 Otherwise, the central meaning is being pulled away, and all that remains is a set of very obvious

00:54:54.000 financial interests and interests of dominion, which are obviously, as you surely know by now, what I believe

00:55:00.000 motivates conflict of this nature. But perhaps more observably, what about the freedom of that guy that's banged up there,

00:55:08.000 Gonzalo Lira?

00:55:09.000 That's not abstract.

00:55:10.000 That's a person now who's in prison as a result of these laws that the Ukraine's own National Union of Journalists think is wrong.

00:55:17.000 What do you think about that?

00:55:18.000 How do you reconcile that with the billions of dollars of aid?

00:55:21.000 I suppose this is what they'd say.

00:55:22.000 Look, there's this massive war going on.

00:55:24.000 We've got to win that war.

00:55:25.000 And I don't know, man.

00:55:26.000 I can't get it up for that argument because I just don't trust them.

00:55:29.000 And the reason I don't trust them is because I see how these things play out all the time over time.

00:55:33.000 In May, members of Zelensky's Servant of the People party introduced a bill to criminalise the spread of false information.

00:55:40.000 Hmm, this sounds familiar.

00:55:41.000 On the internet and through social media that violates Ukraine's national security.

00:55:45.000 They're doing it everywhere.

00:55:46.000 Ostensibly the bill is targeted at bot accounts, but in reality the language of the bill is so encompassing that anyone could be arrested for posting information that the right-wing nationalist government in Kiev deems misinformation.

00:55:58.000 Another one of those laws that seems to be the recognition that information can now be disseminated in ways that is difficult to control unless there are new laws to control it.

00:56:08.000 And it's not about misinformation, it's about information that's not expedient.

00:56:11.000 To the entire family, everyone in this hall stands with you.

00:56:16.000 We're working every day to secure his release.

00:56:19.000 Biden made no reference, for example, to the murder of Washington Post commentator Jamal Khashoggi, killed and dismembered inside the consulate of Saudi Arabia in the Turkish city of Istanbul.

00:56:29.000 I wonder why they don't even notice that.

00:56:33.000 What is it?

00:56:33.000 They don't know or they don't care.

00:56:35.000 It has to be one of those.

00:56:36.000 Biden claimed during the 2020 election campaign that he would turn the Saudi leader into a pariah.

00:56:41.000 The pariah that they are.

00:56:43.000 Instead, in pursuit of greater Saudi oil production, he went cap in hand to Riyadh for talks with the Prince Stroke Assassin. 0.83

00:56:50.000 Three minutes into his remarks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Biden declared

00:56:54.000 journalism is not a crime. It is noteworthy that in their coverage of the Correspondents' Dinner,

00:56:58.000 neither the New York Times nor the Washington Post or any other mainstream publication made

00:57:03.000 any mention of Assange or the contradiction between Biden's declaration of fidelity to

00:57:08.000 the First Amendment and the continued drive of his administration to extradite and jail Assange.

00:57:14.000 Is there any clearer metaphor for the set of problems that we now face?

00:57:18.000 Ukraine is passing laws to centralise and control information.

00:57:22.000 That's a propaganda unit.

00:57:24.000 Joe Biden holds an event where the room is full of journalists, where he tells that room that journalism, in the words of Jefferson, is more important than government.

00:57:33.000 Meanwhile, not one journalist in that room has the temerity to say, what about Julian Assange?

00:57:40.000 What about that guy banged up in Ukraine?

00:57:42.000 Do we care about journalism and free speech?

00:57:44.000 Or do we care about propaganda?

00:57:46.000 And have we become so good at propaganda that we tell you that our propaganda is your free speech?

00:57:53.000 That we tell you that a free press is a press that does exactly what the government wants them to do and doesn't ask the government any difficult questions.

00:58:01.000 And when a difficult question is asked, like, hey, what are you going to do about that YouTuber who's banged up in Ukraine?

00:58:06.000 Just say, look, I've told you what I'm going to say.

00:58:08.000 I believe in free speech. 0.99

00:58:09.000 Now shut up. 0.98

00:58:10.000 That's all it amounts to. 0.99

00:58:12.000 That's not free speech.

00:58:13.000 That's propaganda.

00:58:15.000 That's not principles.

00:58:16.000 That's a total lack of principles.

00:58:18.000 That's why there are so many questions that remain unanswered because they can't answer you without telling you the truth.

00:58:25.000 We operate on behalf of elite establishment interests.

00:58:28.000 We'll say whatever we have to say to continue to pursue that agenda without ever making it too obvious.

00:58:34.000 That's why there are going to be journalists in prison in some countries that we stick up for and journalists in some countries that we completely ignore.

00:58:40.000 Journalists that get murdered and we don't do anything about it and it's business as usual.

00:58:44.000 Julian Assange still in jail because he threatened American interest.

00:58:47.000 You can just look at that information and work out for yourself what the truth is.

00:58:53.000 So, it doesn't matter what I think, but that's just what I think!

00:58:57.000 Until next time, stay free!

00:59:14.000 Switch on.
