In this episode of Rumble, we talk about the rise of the far-right in Europe, Bill Nye's Nazi salute at a Stand Up For Science rally, and why the Democrats don't get it. We're joined by the Political Chatter Team to discuss it all.
00:45:40.000Good post by Brett Weinstein on X where he said that we can see when there's media mass formation, we can use it to detect what globalists want.
00:45:53.000For example, during the COVID era, you couldn't talk about vaccine injuries.
00:45:57.000You couldn't question whether or not to take the vaccine.
00:45:59.000You couldn't question the measures governments were taking without being condemned and censored.
00:46:04.000Now, when it comes to the Ukraine-Russia war, you can't query whether or not it's best to stop funding this war in order to bring about a ceasefire.
00:46:15.000I myself am trying to pick my way through a political landscape that I cannot claim to understand.
00:46:22.000I reckon what we're trying to find are coordinates that will help us to recognise that all political power is limited, that there are no saviours when it comes to the political space.
00:46:36.000Let me know what you think about that in the political chat, i.e. are the world's problems completely solved by the election of President Trump?
00:46:44.000Are all the world's problems made worse by the election of President Trump?
00:46:48.000Or do we have to look beyond the limits of political power?
00:46:52.000In order to see where true salvation might come from.
00:46:55.000We're going to talk a lot about Europe, which seems to be turning increasingly fascistic when it comes to the subjects like...
00:47:22.000Actually, could you make the print, like, on Locals, guys, the Locals chat looks like it ain't alive, and the Rumble chat's in a smaller size than usual.
00:47:33.000Can you come over and have a little look?
00:50:05.000And when I was a kid, like 16, 17, and I was on drugs and everything, I did tele-sales, tele-marketing sales for Hewlett-Packard selling ink cartridges for photocopier machines.
00:50:15.000And when they was offering me a lot of money, I was like...
00:50:19.000So I have done stupid, dumb stuff, both for money and for pleasure in my life.
00:50:25.000But what I've not done is, you know, do you remember in COVID when all of them stars, some of whom are stars that I like, like, say, the lass that plays Wonder Woman, and they sung, like, because I've done a film with her.
00:56:13.000Sometimes people do that and they go, it's good that we've done that.
00:56:16.000Because I feel like it's so obvious that while they're like, someone who works for the Democrat Party, they either go condemn Trump for saying this thing, right, don't they?
00:56:24.000Or they say pivot and rock as if you're like a street fighter character.
00:56:30.000Don't you sort of think, wouldn't something in you go, no chance, man.
00:56:33.000We're going to look so stupid doing that.
00:58:00.000Remain hopeful and optimistic and know that there is something else, that there is another realm that is accessible to you and that realm will not be granted to you by the false idols or the false prophets or those that point towards solutions and conclusions available and accessible here to us.
00:58:16.000This place of pleasure, this place of pain is secondary.
00:58:36.000And also, remember, at the end of this week, we're going to take a bit of time off, man.
00:58:40.000But we'll keep pumping stuff out for you guys.
00:58:42.000When I say pumping, don't let that diminish your belief in my...
00:58:50.000Admiration and sincerity and my care for what we make for you.
00:58:54.000Okay, so Gavin Newsom went on Charlie Kirk.
00:58:57.000What that means is some members of the Democrat Party are repositioning now for what will have to emerge out of this collapsing globalist movement.
00:59:54.000I feel it's asymmetry of Donald Trump and Elon Musk sending out tweets or you doing social media and me doing a three-minute hit at three o'clock in the afternoon on CNN. I mean, how the hell do we compete?
01:00:11.000Well, I mean, I'm part of it, and credit to you for doing long-form podcasting, because long-form podcasting does penetrate different audiences, right?
01:00:26.000Like, what I like about him is he's sort of, um...
01:00:29.000I imagine him at school, he'd have been wanting people when he was 14, was like nine foot tall or something, and still probably not good at basketball.
01:00:40.000Part of the problem of the Democrat Party that for the health of the country would be great to change is that Democrats cannot survive in long-form podcasting environments.
01:01:21.000They thought they had a stranglehold on it because it's like, for them, it would be like some sort of Oscar-winning foreign language film with the vanguard.
01:01:52.000Now, we were told that the vanguard was going to emerge out of liberalism and the left, and they sort of saw themselves as inextricably alloyed to the civil rights movements out of your country from the 60s.
01:02:04.000What they've done is they've sanitised them civil rights movements into innocuous gestures that tile over the real problem of social justice without ever addressing it.
01:02:18.000They have lost their way when it comes to new media environments.
01:02:23.000Anyone in independent media is going to make mistakes.
01:02:26.000Me or, you know, I don't know, say someone like Lex Friedman.
01:02:30.000In a way, Joe Rogan now is in a territory out on his own because I would say he's gone full Oprah.
01:03:05.000So that really is, well, to go into those environments, you've got to know what you're talking about and you're going to have to step away from talking points that have been prescribed by the people that told you to do a TikTok dance and that that would be cool.
01:03:19.000You're going to have to be able to, as Kamala couldn't, go answer questions.
01:03:24.000Like, you know, if Kamala Harris had gone on Joe Rogan, he'd have said, well, what about were you the border czar or not?
01:03:29.000Do you take responsibility for the border or not?
01:03:52.000But that kind of empty rhetoric of political figures, that won't work in a podcast environment.
01:04:00.000Even if, say, if I went on saying like Piers Morgan, you know that Piers Morgan's going to go, well, why do you think all this stuff's happened?
01:04:07.000Why do you think all that stuff happened in the UK? Or what do you mean that Ukraine is the new pandemic?
01:04:14.000And I actually think I might watch that whole of, I won't, I'll never have the time, but part of me would like to watch all of Gavin Newsom.
01:04:21.000On Charlie Kirk to see how he copes in that environment.
01:05:41.000Real radicalism is the spiritual world is the priority and how we act politically and materially is totally informed by and guided by the spiritual world.
01:08:04.000You lose weight, you gain the weight back again, you hate yourself, you be sick, you're standing in front of the mirror, you're crying, you're screaming the names of the Lord into a broken mirror.
01:09:47.000I think politics and culture are indecipherable from one another now.
01:09:49.000Donald Trump became a cultural phenomenon, right?
01:09:52.000You go into inner city Compton, you'll see guys with Trump shirts with the hand up, fight, fight, fight.
01:09:59.000So what Democrats are doing is you're still playing in a very old, hyper-sanitized media environment.
01:10:05.000And my advice is you've got to go where it's unpredictable, where it's treacherous, where it's dangerous.
01:10:10.000Now, I would make a more provocative argument that you wouldn't necessarily resonate with, which is that you guys have not built the intellectual muscle over 30 years because you all agree with each other all the time.
01:10:23.000Well, it's not like conservatives are massively disagreeing at the moment.
01:10:27.000Trump has completely collapsed the conservative movement.
01:11:36.000Interesting concoction, can you, where a genuine establishment figure and presumed future leader of the Democrat Party has spoken to someone avowedly of the right as sort of an explicit cultural and political conservative.
01:12:01.000Megyn Kelly, Theo Vaughn, the Paul brothers, our program, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh.
01:12:07.000There's a singular one on the left, which is Pod Save America, which is just like a bunch of Obama bros agreeing with each other for 90 minutes and saying that we're not very smart.
01:12:16.000And, you know, and so anyway, but I appreciate it.
01:12:24.000I mean, it's medium, but what, so what, I mean.
01:12:26.000But it's interesting, you're making a deeper argument that we're not, and you didn't say it again in a maligning way, but that we're just not capable because we're not hardwired to be able to participate in this.
01:13:02.000And then secondly, I would just say that the philosophy on the worldview, as I mentioned earlier, that you guys have adopted is that thou which is oppressed will get the most points.
01:13:12.000You guys don't have thou that has the best idea wins.
01:13:15.000And because of that, you guys have an elevation of Like, hey, eventually we're just going to have a small subset of a minoritarian, hectoring, hall monitor assistant principal vibe of people telling you that you're not allowed to say these words and you can't say that.
01:13:30.000And we call that political correctness, which in and of itself is hyper-authoritarian.
01:13:35.000So if you seek to understand why young men are rebelling, it's like, no, I'm not going to go along with this anymore.
01:13:41.000That's an interesting argument from Charlie Kirk.
01:13:45.000Charlie Kirk and Gavin Newsom communicating is an interesting development in the cultural conversation and political conversation in your nation.
01:13:53.000Because it's not by default that the right dominates the podcast and online space.
01:13:58.000It's because that's a response to legacy media being...
01:14:02.000Operated by the Democrat neoliberal movement.
01:14:06.000That if you want your voice to be heard, if you want to hear opinions that resonate with you expressed, you're not going to find them on MSNBC or CNN or I don't know, man, or BBC, any of those places.
01:14:22.000What we've seen is a migration to new media.
01:14:26.000Maybe there's no reason why you couldn't have podcasters from the left.
01:14:31.000Some people on Locals listed Kim Iverson or Jimmy Dore or Greenwald as all interesting figures that are not of the right, that succeed in these spaces.
01:14:43.000But what the real challenge is and what the real problem is, if you ask me, is that globalism is an...
01:14:51.000A peculiar movement that is continually masked and like all true dominating power, presents itself as natural.
01:14:59.000That means that when it comes to a subject like COVID or Ukraine, what is presented as normal, follow the science or follow your humanitarian morals, is actually the veil over which imperial power...
01:15:16.000Beneath which imperial power is masked.
01:15:18.000We're going to be exploring that through the political events in Romania in just a minute and the recent arrest and ban of Carlin Georgescu.
01:15:28.000This is going to really help us to understand new globalism.
01:15:32.000Before we do that is a quick message from one of our partners.
01:15:35.000Senolytics are the biggest discovery for promoting healthy aging.
01:15:39.000The aging process obviously isn't our friend, unless I suppose, you know, there's eternal life.
01:15:43.000But while we're here, we want to be energetic and productive.
01:15:46.000That's why I use Qualia Senolytic, with science-backed ingredients that have helped me feel, I would say, 15 years younger in a matter of just months.
01:15:56.000Everyone accumulates senescent cells, known as zombie cells.
01:16:00.000These senescent cells are old and worn out and not fulfilling a useful function for our health, but they take up space and nutrients from our healthy cells.
01:16:07.000Qualia senolytic removes zombie cells and allow healthy cells to thrive.
01:17:14.000We're going to be talking about Romania.
01:17:15.000This is a brilliant bit of writing by Arnaud Bertrand.
01:17:17.000He helps to understand how the arrest and ban of Georgescu, who was winning the presidential campaign out there in Romania, has subsequently been arrested and banned from campaigning.
01:17:27.000It shows you that Romania, and therefore the EU, who endorses actions, are closer to tyranny than democracy.
01:17:33.000And all around the world, all these wars that are declared are meant to be in the name of democracy.
01:18:00.000During COVID, we learned that globalism was when bureaucratic agencies, either national and global, appear to act in coordination with corporate and commercial entities to create a central sovereignty that denies the voices of individuals.
01:19:42.000WHO, WF, World Bank, IMF. When people talked about globalism back in the Naomi Klein days, when talking about globalism was a leftist, Hey, what are all these bureaucracies that seem to be there just to facilitate advanced global capitalism?
01:19:58.000Now, it's the right that are making those arguments.
01:20:00.000That's why you've got your Jimmy Dawes and your Glenn Greenwalds lining up and agreeing with, peculiarly, occasionally, with figures on the right, like those that have just been listed by Charlie Kirk there when we were talking about Gavin Newsom.
01:20:12.000Remember to check that out if you're watching this somewhere else.
01:20:15.000Here's a small reminder of what happened by Arnaud Bertrand.
01:20:20.000Unexpectedly won the first round of Romania's presidential election in November through what appeared to be a highly effective social media campaign.
01:20:28.000Social media has changed the political landscape.
01:20:31.000Of course it's changed it in terms of advertising and marketing.
01:20:34.000We all behave in different ways now online.
01:20:35.000It's unthinkable, isn't it, that 20 years ago we'd have done the majority of our consuming remotely?
01:20:42.000Well, what's changed politically is now you don't get your news from the BBC or MSNBC or any of the other centralised media.
01:20:53.000You get it from a whole host of bespoke media operators.
01:20:57.000And while someone like David Icke would say, you're not conspiracy theory enough, or you're too willing to sort of kowtow to Elon Musk or Trump or whoever, the fact is, is you've got access to a wide range of political and cultural opinions.
01:21:10.000And because of X, you know, David Icke is allowed to go on X and criticize someone like Elon Musk.
01:21:15.000The media landscape has changed forever.
01:21:17.000It was only a matter of time before that changed politics.
01:21:19.000Trump was one of the first beneficiaries of that change, along with the Brexit movement in the UK, and the countless other, now no longer anomalous, right-wing political leaders cropping up all over Europe and the world.
01:21:31.000Now, it seems that the EU are trying to stop the rot with Romania, because, you know, Romania, I'm sure the EU can surrender that.
01:21:37.000I don't know how powerful and significant Romania is economically, but we do know that Germany and France and Italy, these are significant countries, even though Italy is now run by a somewhat right-wing figure.
01:21:49.000France did everything within its power, as did Germany, to prevent right-wing or nationalist movements coming to prominence.
01:21:55.000Now I'm actually, in spite of what you might read, not right-wing and not a rapist.
01:22:19.000That way, if communities were run like parishes or boroughs or dioceses with maximum democracy, you could have one community that was super trans and fluid and you could have another one that was super Christian and conservative and it wouldn't matter because ultimately we're all on this bandwidth for a limited amount of time before the inevitability of death and perhaps the great hope of eternity for those of you that believe in such things like I do.
01:22:42.000But while we're here, we've got to have some agreed upon universal principles like sacrifice, duty, kindness, love.
01:22:48.000All of which has been co-opted by this globalist movement that peculiarly, in the holy name of its endeavour, is shutting down democracy.
01:22:55.000It's a bit like the Christian Crusades, where in the name of Christianity, Christians marauded across the world, killing people.
01:23:02.000Like, you know, hold on a minute, have we got sidetracked?
01:23:40.000That's why they want to introduce censorship and prohibit free speech, because they can see it's impossible to maintain centralised power if you have diversity of thought.
01:23:47.000The first beneficiaries, as we saw in the Gavin Newsom and Charlie Kirk conversation, have been the right, because centralised media tends towards and trends towards what I would call the centralised left, i.e.
01:23:57.000you're not radically of the left if you ultimately support corporations and companies.
01:24:04.000Remember, I'm English, so when I talk about the left, I don't mean Sieg Heil or Soviet Unionism.
01:24:09.000I don't mean National Socialism, like the Nazis, and I don't mean Soviet Socialism, like the Russian Soviet Union folks.
01:24:16.000I mean, socialism derived from Christian principles, i.e., when Jesus Christ says, give up all your gear and follow me, pick up your cross and follow me, easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man who went to heaven.
01:24:30.000It's kind of an indication that if you worship money, you're going to get yourself in some serious trouble.
01:24:35.000So, when you look at your political leaders, ask, what does their God appear to be?
01:24:40.000Whether that's a dull, tedious bureaucrat like Thierry Breton, the EU operator that's down for cancelling elections, or maybe a demagogic figure who you admire and adore because of their panache and charisma and rhetorical style.
01:25:59.000As I previously detailed, the declassified Romanian intelligence documents that served as justification for cancelling the election contained no actual evidence, evidence of foreign interference or manipulation.
01:26:10.000They merely documented a social media campaign involving 25,000 TikTok accounts coordinated through Telegram channels, completely standard practice in political campaigning.
01:26:19.000In effect, an entire presidential election was cancelled on the grounds of existence of a coordinated social media campaign on TikTok that the...
01:27:31.000Even more insane, subsequent investigative reporting by Romanian journalists revealed that the TikTok campaign cited as evidence of Russian interference was actually funded by the ruling National Liberal Party itself.
01:27:42.000The same party that supported cancelling the election paid over 1 million ron, that's their currency I guess, to a marketing firm called Kensington Communication.
01:28:34.000We have an agenda, we have a raft and roster of global politicians that we can get into place in Canada, in the UK, in the USA, in Romania, wherever, so that when there are global meetings, we've got our man or woman in place, ready to go, so that the decrees delivered in...
01:28:52.000And these G7 meetings or NATO summits or WF Davos passes are in alignment with what we want.
01:29:08.000Even now, as Georgesco leads in the polls ahead of the rerun, they've taken the extraordinary step of barring him from participating in the elections entirely.
01:29:16.000In the name of democracy, we are banning this popular candidate.
01:29:21.000In the name of democracy, we are having all of these rival parties conglomerate and form an alliance against parties that are against significant votes.
01:29:29.000I'm referring to the German election, or the Dutch election, or the Italian elections, or the French elections.
01:29:36.000What's even more disturbing is how this fabricated narrative of Russian interference continues to be propagated at the highest levels of European leadership.
01:29:43.000Just four days ago on March 5th, in a televised address to the French people, Macron stated as fact, President Putin's Russia violates our borders to assassinate opponents, manipulates elections in Romania and Moldova.
01:29:54.000It organises digital attacks against our hospitals to block their operations.
01:29:58.000This casual repetition of a thoroughly debunked claim.
01:30:01.000Let me know in the comments and chat how often you've seen thoroughly debunked claims.
01:30:07.000The irony is when Obama says at Stanford we have to stop misinformation and disinformation because even if you yourself are intelligent enough to discern the truth for yourself, a lot of people aren't and it muddies the water.
01:30:20.000The delicious irony is that that is their very tactic.
01:30:24.000By them, I mean the sets of interests that previously we understood to have captured mainstream media and the bureaucratic agencies that are influential around the world in matters of health and finance and war and pandemics, generally speaking.
01:30:37.000Let me know in the comments and chat if you agree with that.
01:30:39.000This shows how deeply embedded this fiction has become to the European political establishment's narrative.
01:30:46.000A convenient bogeyman to justify overriding democratic processes when they produce undesirable results.
01:30:52.000For all his faults, J.D. Vance was spot on on this topic in his Munich speech.
01:30:57.000He specifically pointed to Romania as a prime example of Europe's retreat from its values.
01:31:02.000Which one of them memes of JD Vance do you like most?
01:31:05.000Why are people taking such joy in having him with a puffy face?
01:31:09.000And post in the comments and chat, your favourite J.D. Vance puffy face meme, because I'm confused by it, like making him look like that little Chucky.
01:31:23.000Here is J.D. Vance at that Munich thing.
01:31:25.000I was struck that a former European commissioner went on television recently and sounded delighted that the Romanian government had just annulled an entire election.
01:31:47.000But when we see European courts cancelling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others, we ought to ask whether we're holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard.
01:31:57.000He's another one of them people that I've met a couple of times.
01:32:00.000And when I see him mugged off, coated off, criticised by them liberalists and those peculiar centrists and those peculiar globalists that have captured the media space, I think he's alright when I met him.
01:32:11.000Again, I'm under no illusions that Vance himself is hypocritical here.
01:32:15.000He conveniently failed to mention that the US State Department in his own country was actually first to raise concerns about Russian involvement in Romanian elections on December 4th, essentially providing cover for what followed.
01:32:27.000Furthermore, his support for Georgescu likely stems not from principal defence of democracy, but from ideological alignment with that side of the Romanian political spectrum.
01:32:37.000And in this sense, he's probably no better than the EU officials he criticised.
01:32:40.000On the face of it, his commentary on this specific situation was correct.
01:32:56.000If you have two kids and you've got to get them to share pizza, you would say to one kid, you cut the pizza, you choose which slice to take.
01:33:05.000Meaning, if you didn't know which bit of society you were going to get or which role within a society you were going to be playing, what type of society would you want?
01:33:14.000You would want a fair society, wouldn't you?
01:33:17.000And when you're raising your kids, you're raising them with a sort of sense of fairness and justice.
01:33:21.000I, extrapolating on these ideas of roles, say this.
01:33:25.000You shouldn't need to know the flag or name of a nation or tribe when talking about conflict.
01:33:33.000You should just have the conflict described neutrally.
01:33:36.000There's an external aggressor that is very, very powerful encroaching on the territory of a weaker nation.
01:34:18.000Let me know in the comments and chat where you fall on that matter without knowing whether I'm not talking about, whether I'm talking about Russia or Israel.
01:34:24.000I've not even decided in my own head which one I'm talking about.
01:34:27.000So let me know in the comments and chat if you could go, yes, but the reason that's different is because I agree with this one and I didn't agree with that one.
01:35:24.000All in all, the Romanian situation exposes a terrifying truth at work in European politics today.
01:35:29.000Democracy is celebrated only when it produces the correct results.
01:35:32.000When voters choose candidates deemed unacceptable by the political establishment, suddenly the democratic process itself becomes suspect, allegedly compromised by foreign interference or other conveniently vague threats.
01:35:44.000As such, what we're witnessing in Romania isn't merely a local political dispute.
01:35:53.000As a whole, if an EU member state can cancel a legitimate election and then bar the winning candidate from running again without meaningful consequences, what's to prevent this playbook from being deployed elsewhere?
01:36:03.000The mask has slipped and what's underneath it is very ugly.
01:36:07.000Brilliant writing there from Arnaud Bertrand.
01:36:10.000We were put onto him by Glenn Greenwald, who's another Rumble Premium contributor.
01:36:15.000We're going to go over to Rumble Premium in about four minutes to talk about other aspects of fascism in Europe.
01:37:34.000And they're fascinated by the way that we pray and the way that we do things.
01:37:38.000And I think that there really is, like, we have an opportunity right now in America to reshape, redefine, and remind this nation God has his hand on this.
01:37:48.000Now, at the same time, I have to ask, well, what is God's role with this country?
01:37:52.000But, you know, God has a plan on this country.
01:37:54.000We're going to celebrate our 250-year-old birthday next year.
