The world continues to be bizarre, with the Iranian strikes on Israel, P. Diddy and P.I. s arrest in China, and more! Russell Brand is in Atlantic City, and he's here to talk about it all, starting with the Vice Presidential Debates, where J.D. Vance and Tim Waltz failed to deliver on their promises, and whether this is the end of politics as entertainment, or the beginning of the end as we know it. Plus, Russell takes a look at how the debate went, and tries to make sense of what went wrong, and what went right, in the vice presidential debate, and why he thinks it may have been the best debate we ve ever seen.

00:11:31.000Thanks for those of you on Locals that joined us for our pre-show warm-up, by the way.
00:11:36.000I don't think we should leave that up, actually.
00:11:38.000We should just leave up the bit that's the answer to the questions.
00:11:41.000Don't leave up the whole thing, because it's a crazy little asset.
00:11:43.000Who knows what sort of crazy stuff I'm saying.
00:11:46.000Kind of thing that journalists and the predatory world of operators for globalism would love, because at this point, surely, we have to return, not return, in fact, discover a type of political discourse that we can rely upon.
00:12:01.000Are you filming that for the thing at home?
00:12:04.000Is it possible for me to just lean that somewhere?
00:12:06.000Because that's very distracting for me.
00:12:07.000Thank you very much, yeah. Like, remember, minimum motion.
00:12:11.000If there was no motion at all over there, that would be perfect.
00:12:37.000Hey listen, I'm also going to be talking about the hurricanes and the hurricane aid and the comparison that some people are making to funds drawn from taxpayers that go to support war and the lack of funds drawn to support crises in America.
00:12:54.000This is something that of course I suppose became popularly discussed in During Hurricane Katrina and its immediate aftermath and was then more recently discussed with the Maui fires and is now being talked about as a result of the hurricanes across the south of your country.
00:13:11.000We're talking about that as well. Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that.
00:13:54.000Tim Waltz unable to tell you exactly when and where he is and when he's in China and when he's not in Tiananmen Square.
00:14:01.000But, you know, compared to people, like, think of the Trump 2015 primaries where people are getting called dogs and, like, there's weird slang flying about.
00:14:12.000Man, think about it, because you'd be in jail.
00:14:14.000Like, you know, maybe this is the end of politics as entertainment, because J.D. Vance is an experienced debater, and Tim Waltz, he's, I guess, a regular guy.
00:14:23.000Let me know if you agree with that. I know, like, if you exist in siloed spaces, you'll read amplified ideas.
00:14:29.000Generally speaking, I think people regard J.D. Vance's performance as pretty...
00:14:36.000Professional and convincing and regard him as the winner.
00:14:40.000In fact, here's CNN saying that J.D. Vance lost the debate.
00:14:43.000If you're watching us on YouTube, we're going to be with you for 15 minutes there on YouTube.
00:14:48.000But then you're going to have to click the link in the description and join us on Rumble where we can speak freely.
00:14:53.000Let's have a look at CNN apparently conceding last night's vice presidential debate.
00:14:59.000I think there was a clear lack of preparation and execution here on Walz's part.
00:15:07.000Maybe. He had so many lines that he was clearly trying to say that he didn't listen.
00:15:12.000And when J.D. Vance said one of the many, many things he really hit Kamala Harris on, not Tim Walz, but Kamala Harris, he didn't respond because he clearly had things in his mind.
00:15:24.000I think the lack of interviews that he has done...
00:15:27.000With national media, with local media, it showed.
00:15:31.000He needed more reps. Yeah, no, I agree.
00:15:34.000I mean, J.D. Vance is much more experienced at this, at public speaking, at defending himself, at pivoting.
00:15:42.000Yeah, I suppose that's how that role goes, huh?
00:15:46.000Like, there are some people that are good at that format.
00:15:48.000J.D. Vance knows how to conduct a public debate.
00:15:53.000I think I saw Van Jones saying that he, almost with a bit of pre-bunking, saying, J.D. Vance would be good at this.
00:16:23.000J.D. Vance is like a normal guy from a moderate background who being condemned as weird incessantly and unendingly shows that propaganda has taken hold of political discourse.
00:16:39.000He's like a pretty regular human being.
00:16:42.000Two, maybe we're returning to a type of politics that's a little bit more normal, ordinary.
00:18:27.000There's nothing Donald Trump doesn't do that much, does he?
00:18:29.000He doesn't often tell you, this was my childhood.
00:18:31.000Kamala Harris always telling you about her childhood.
00:18:33.000Our Prime Minister in our country, Keir Starmer, like...
00:18:37.000There's a lot of rumours flying around about that guy, but one thing that's irrefutable is that his father was a toolmaker.
00:18:43.000People, I suppose because they recognise that we see them as weird aliens, odd extraterrestrial transplanted beings, they're continually banging on about how normal they are, and there's a lot of that goes on here.
00:18:53.000Man, are you able to speed it forward about a minute?
00:21:01.000Let's have a look at it. This is J.D. Vance now saying that the real threat to democracy is Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party's war on the First Amendment.
00:21:08.000Now this is again I suppose one of the issues that I hope Americans can unify around.
00:21:13.000Along with ending war, health and free speech, it seems that there could be a consensus as essentially anti-centralised power, anti-corruption.
00:21:24.000Let me know if you agree with that in the rumble chat.
00:21:26.000Let me know if you agree with that on locals.
00:21:30.000One of the things I'm very cognizant of is the perception that the MAGA movement of 2016 was, of course, explicitly nationalist, saying America first is a nationalist position.
00:21:42.000But a nationalist position cannot become, should not be, a racist position.
00:21:50.000Inclusive, accepting of America's heritage and history.
00:21:55.000The idea that inclusivity necessarily means open borders and necessarily means colonialism, imperialism and interventionism is not confluent.
00:22:09.000What I believe is, if there is a majority of people that want net migration, Have a referendum on it and impose it if that's what people want.
00:22:18.000But that would have to be coupled, surely, in any ethical society with the withdrawal of military intervention and economic exploitation of the countries that continually generate refugees or migrants or whatever you want to call them.
00:22:32.000You don't benefit from exploitative political practices taking place in Haiti or Venezuela.
00:22:41.000Both in terms of the migration crisis that it causes and the economic opportunities that it affords.
00:22:48.000Let's have a look at J.D. Vance saying that the real threat to democracy is Kamala Harris' war on the First Amendment.
00:22:55.000Because if we can't speak freely, we're not going to be able to have the kind of conversations that are necessary at a time of fissure and confrontation.
00:23:02.000What we need now are healing conversations.
00:23:07.000Have any faith that such a thing is possible in such an incentive?
00:23:11.000Would you again seek to challenge this year's election results even if every governor certifies the results?
00:23:19.000I'll give you two minutes. Well, Nora, first of all, I think that we're focused on the future.
00:23:23.000We need to figure out how to solve the inflation crisis caused by Kamala Harris's policies, make housing affordable, make groceries affordable, and that's what we're focused on.
00:23:31.000But I want to answer your question because...
00:23:33.000Yeah, that's good debate, Ian, because what he's saying there is, I don't know about you, but I'm guessing that your concerns are primarily your own life, and I don't think that makes you necessarily selfish, but it's probably more relevant that fuel and food and warmth are Are expensive rather than abstract ideas about foreign wars.
00:23:54.000It's very difficult, I think, for us to hold a global perspective continually in our minds.
00:23:59.000I find it difficult to think about, like, to envisage what's going on in the Middle East.
00:24:03.000And it just becomes, doesn't it, a stream of Babylonian imagery, like missiles and dead children and rubble and awfulness.
00:24:15.000Tally that with domestic issues, infrastructural failure, poverty, decline, and reflect on what the relationships might be between those two things.
00:24:27.000If America first, France first, UK first movements are about anything, is the sense that governments are somehow being controlled by someone else.
00:24:38.000Globalism, if it's anything at all, is the idea that there are centralised and unelected powers that have more influence than you or I have over the directions of our government and the direction of our taxes.
00:24:51.000Who among us doesn't care more about our children and their school and their health than whether or not there are escalating ideological wars across the planet?
00:25:01.000I'm sure some people would gainsay my perspective there But the majority, I feel, are ultimately concerned about our own lives.
00:25:11.000Were we designed or even evolved to live in a continual abstract, a reign of perpetual information that's difficult to discern, ever landing on us, exploding in our minds, making us feel yet more impotent with every passing moment?
00:25:27.000Another thing I will say with our man, J.D. Vance, is he returns to important points.
00:25:34.000Look, what President Trump has said is that there were problems in 2020, and my own belief is that we should fight about those issues, debate those issues peacefully in the public square, and that's all I've said, and that's all...
00:25:47.000Peacefully in the public square, not violently in Tiananmen Square, Tim.
00:25:51.000I was there, you know! I'm the guy with the shopping bags!
00:25:54.000It seems pretty clear that JD Vance is a much more adept and competent debater able to direct the conversation to issues that I imagine many Americans care about.
00:26:06.000We can't get deluged and lost in the politics of personality.
00:26:10.000There are too many things to consider.
00:26:12.000On one hand, yes, the likelihood of Armageddon on several fronts, but also we are dealing with issues A domestic economic situation where many people feel unable to feed, clothe and care for their families and a broad, disparate sense that America and the UK and France and the world is in moral decline.
00:26:32.000And it don't matter how many people are trotted out to say, well, actually, things are better than they've ever been and people are being pulled out of poverty all the time.
00:26:38.000If there's a sort of a pervasive sense of despair, frustration, hatred and conflict, those kind of statistics don't help people.
00:26:43.000But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:26:46.000if you're watching us on youtube we're leaving now let's have a look at that yes nice work you've got to click the link in the description to see us talking about the escalating conflict in iran you've got to click the link in the description to see us talking about the latest diddy revelations apparently perpetrators are to be named that are gonna shock us all gonna want to see us cover that story we'll also be talking about free speech we'll be talking about julian assange and the cia and Whether or not you should be funding foreign wars or domestic crisis.
00:27:18.000Click the link in the description. See you in a few seconds.
00:27:22.000Let's finish the conversation on the debate.
00:27:37.000Cran Canyon University, a private Christian university in Phoenix, believe that we are endowed by our Creator to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from the Constitution.
00:27:49.000GCU believe in equal opportunities and equip everyone to serve others in ways that promote human flourishing, creating, as they believe, a ripple effect of transformation.
00:27:59.000Whether your pursuit involves a bachelor's, a master's or a doctoral degree, GCU's online and on-campus learning environments are designed to help you achieve your unique goals.
00:28:43.000Thanks. Let's have a look at the rest of this debate.
00:28:46.000That's all that Donald Trump has said.
00:28:47.000Remember, he said that on January the 6th, the protesters ought to protest peacefully.
00:28:52.000And on January the 20th, what happened?
00:28:54.000Joe Biden became the president, Donald Trump left the White House, and now, of course, unfortunately, we have all of the negative policies that have come from the Harris-Biden administration.
00:29:04.000I believe that we actually do have a threat to democracy in this country, but unfortunately, it's not the threat to democracy that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz want to talk about.
00:29:12.000Nice meme in the locals chat there, Luke.
00:29:15.000Weak men prefer the predictable harbor of a tyrant to the raging seas of liberty.
00:29:19.000Very good community post and a very good ex-post there.
00:29:23.000And Tim Walz want to talk about, it is the threat of censorship.
00:29:27.000It's Americans casting aside lifelong friendships because of disagreements over politics.
00:29:39.000Yeah, like what JD Vance is also returning it to, like a skilled orator always will, is what the experience of being in America is like.
00:29:45.000Do you feel a bit sort of tired of it, the argument and the complexity and the decay, people losing faith in one another because of political conversations?
00:29:55.000Pretty good point to make. It's big technology companies silencing their...
00:29:59.000I don't think he seems like a weird guy.
00:30:01.000That's why I'll say he's not like, oh, this guy's weird.
00:30:15.000It's like someone emerging out of a cauldron, sort of all sort of bubbling with Elfian glee.
00:30:20.000Silencing their fellow citizens, and it's Kamala Harris saying that rather than debate and persuade her fellow Americans, she'd like to censor people who engage in misinformation.
00:30:29.000I think that is a much bigger threat to democracy than anything that we've seen in this country in the last four years, in the last 40 years.
00:30:37.000Now I'm really proud, especially given that I was raised by two lifelong blue-collar Democrats, to have the endorsement of Bobby Kennedy Jr.
00:30:44.000and Tulsi Gabbard. Lifelong leaders in the Democratic Coalition, of course.
00:30:49.000An important point there, again, of course, people talking about their childhood, I suppose because people got to personalise themselves.
00:30:58.000He's a good guy. He's a nice guy, man.
00:31:00.000And what I would say is that the significance of Tulsi and Bobby joining on the optics level is going to be Difficult for the, I would say, Institutional Democratic Party, particularly with policies like shutting down free speech, to gain, say, contradict and control.
00:31:17.000But the legacy media won't report on that.
00:31:19.000The subject of free speech, though, is the issue we should be focusing on.
00:31:24.000Even I, like you, get caught up in the personalities.
00:31:27.000I mean, I'm quite close to saying that J.D. Vance has got nice eyes.
00:31:30.000It's one of the things I've got nice eyes, isn't he?
00:31:32.000But the important issue, actually, is free speech.
00:31:36.000All the while, the likes of John Kerry are telling us that they have to censor us for our benefit, and the idea of censorship is being normalised by globalist elites.
00:31:45.000We have to be very alert to the fact that the information that's being controlled is not information that's harmful to us, but information that might empower us, as it just said.
00:31:54.000In the Awaken Wonder Locals chat, weak men prefer the predictable harbour of a tyrant to the raging seas of liberty, and where would you experience those Raging seas of liberty more vividly than when on the choppy waters of, say, X on Rumble, we support and advocate for free speech.
00:32:11.000Here's a post on X from the CEO of Rumble, Chris Pawlowski.
00:32:14.000Anyone trying to subvert the US Constitution is someone I'll never trust.
00:32:17.000It's outright wrong and it really shines a light on what the powers that that be want to do with...
00:32:24.000Artificial intelligence. They're saying it out loud.
00:32:28.000Listen to them. Nice work, Manny, with the pip there, baby.
00:32:31.000He reposted the speech that we commented on earlier this week coming from that friend of individual freedom and liberty everywhere, Bill Gates.
00:32:41.000So when J.D. Vance, in the presidential debate, occasionally tags the idea of his childhood, mainly, I suppose, to draw attention to the fact that his background is the background of a Democrat, that Tulsi Gabbard Is a Democrat.
00:33:01.000And what I believe we're offering to this movement is consolidation and certainty around the inalienable and definitive issues of free speech.
00:33:40.000Let's have a look at what Chris Pawlowski, Rumble CEO, posted about Bill Gates, because even though the VP debate was...
00:33:47.000Which generally, one might argue, a return to pre-Trump politics, i.e.
00:33:52.000two reasonable guys talking about policy.
00:33:55.000Free speech is an issue that's come in the post-Trump era.
00:33:59.000Indeed, populism, whether it's from the left or right, is so feared by the establishment they are looking for ways to control it that far exceed the usual boundaries of democracy.
00:34:10.000And the new sovereigns and new tyrants that we have to watch for are the likes of, in my opinion, Bill Gates.
00:34:16.000Here's the speech Chris Pavlovsky was referring to.
00:34:19.000You should have free speech, but if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines, you know, where are those boundaries that even the US... Should, you know, have rules.
00:34:34.000And then if you have rules, you know, what is it?
00:34:36.000Is there some AI that encodes those rules because you have billions of activity and, you know, if you catch it a day later, the harm is done.
00:35:00.000these are ultimately part of the kind of legacy media conglomerates that we oppose.
00:35:06.000That's not to say that everyone that works in legacy media is bad or that you don't hear
00:35:09.000stuff on there all the time that you kind of agree with.
00:35:12.000There is still partisanship, there are still conversations to be had along traditional
00:35:16.000lines, but what I suppose independent media demonstrates is there is an opportunity now
00:35:21.000for networks of power and communication that obliterate the old centralised models.
00:35:29.000you want is something that's actually beyond federalism I would ask.
00:35:32.000Real freedom. When you listen to Bobby Kennedy talk about a subject like agriculture and food and the power of big food to intoxicate food with addicting poisons, even with the humble Cheerio.
00:35:43.000Cereal. Imagine something being called Cheerio, being poisonous and addicting to your children.
00:35:48.000You realise that we have a macro issue to contend with.
00:35:51.000You have to recognise how far away you are from a culture where communities would grow and rear their own food.
00:36:07.000You don't need top-down government and you certainly don't need your free speech control.
00:36:12.000But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:36:16.000If you're watching us on YouTube, turn on the notification bell.
00:36:18.000Otherwise, there's no chance that you'll be informed of our content.
00:36:21.000They'll direct you always towards the legacy media and the propaganda you find there.
00:36:25.000Stay free, baby. Now, there's been further revelations on the Sean Coombs case.
00:36:31.000A lot of people in the comments say, don't call him Diddy no more.
00:36:33.000But remember, at this point, there are allegations, even though there are allegations that are extraordinarily troubling and likely The Epstein case appear to point to a wider web of corruption and, by my reckoning at least, the dreadful decadence that devours and consumes the institutions of Hollywood and power.
00:36:51.000What did we learn from the Epstein case?
00:36:54.000What are we to learn from this Diddy situation?
00:36:56.000It starts to look increasingly, at least this is what I read a lot in the comments, that this is not about isolated individuals.
00:37:02.000This is about a personal Pervasive and potentially Luciferian culture of, if not just hedonism, exploitation and abuse at the level of a culture.
00:37:15.000Of course the culture wants to identify and condemn individuals.
00:38:24.000You know that I used to be, before the awakening, a person that was very much interested in epicureanism, that's the pursuit of pleasure, hedonism.
00:38:34.000As an individual in the world, not as part of some shady cabal going around the world, shipping people to islands.
00:38:41.000I was, like, meeting, chatting people up and stuff.
00:38:44.000This is some weird, sex, drug, occultist stuff.
00:38:47.000As I say with Diddy at the moment, these are just allegations.
00:38:50.000You always have to be careful, because actually...
00:38:53.000The lack of proper justice and lack of proper inquiry and the lack of due process is a problem because who among us trusts the judiciary?
00:39:01.000Who among us trusts these institutions anymore?
00:39:03.000Let me know in the comments in the chat.
00:39:05.000But apparently there are big revelations coming.
00:39:10.000This is, I think, one of the prosecutors of the case letting us know that.
00:39:16.000But the names that we're going to name, assuming that our investigators confirm and corroborate what we've been told, are names that will shock you.
00:39:37.000And I'm talking here about not just the cowardly but complicit bystanders.
00:39:41.000That is, those people that we know watched this behavior occur and did nothing.
00:39:47.000And I'm talking about the people that participated, encouraged it, egged it on.
00:39:52.000They know who they are. In a way, this reminds me of the coronavirus pandemic.
00:39:58.000If you inquire into what happened in the coronavirus pandemic, you will discover that the level of corruption, both pharmaceutical, government, economic, media and legal, is so pervasive, invasive, is tendril so wide that the reckoning and inquiry in itself will Lead you to this conclusion.
00:41:04.000Man, what was going on in that mansion seems pretty extraordinary and seems to indicate that there's significant shady stuff that's going to come out.
00:41:14.000And I reckon we'll know a lot more about Hollywood, a lot more about power, a lot more about the interface between media and government if it's investigated correctly.
00:41:25.000But that's just what I think. Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat right now.
00:41:30.000Okay, this I suppose is, you know, I'm in Atlanta right now and this part of the country has been significantly affected by Hurricane Helena.
00:41:38.000This seems all the more apposite as we're heading towards an election and the US government is still, I'm going to say, funneling Billions of dollars of weaponry into Ukraine for a war that cannot be won.
00:42:19.000And if there is a treaty and an opportunity for one, like there was between Zelensky and Putin, which our former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, presumably at the beh...
00:42:26.000Hest of deep state and globalist American-centered interest disrupted, then, well, now you know why a further $175 billion in aid has been sent to Ukraine right when Americans are being told to donate to the North Carolina flood aid.
00:43:29.000The danger is still occurring for a lot of people.
00:43:32.000And by the way, as FEMA can tell you, they have pre-positioned an awful lot of material, an awful lot of material throughout that area, from the Bend all the way up into Tennessee.
00:43:43.000And so the idea that we weren't prepared, the question is, no one knew exactly how devastating it would be.
00:43:49.000We knew it would be significant, and we've got a lot already in place, but there's more.
00:43:53.000But here's the point. I'm going to be asking the American people to continue to help fund the needs of these people.
00:43:59.000It's not going to be one hit and it's over.
00:44:01.000It's going to take a hell of a long time.
00:44:03.000It's going to cost a hell of a lot of money.
00:44:05.000But this is the United States of America.
00:44:08.000We've got to do it. It's really odd that the function of Joe Biden has now become to issue quivering sound bites from behind a mahogany desk or attest that more funding is required at a UN speech in order to keep the machinery of war going.
00:44:28.000He's just disappeared. You don't see Joe Biden unless he's trotted out to ask for more money.
00:44:33.000He is nominally, explicitly and actually, the President of the United States.
00:44:39.000Because we were all exposed to his ineptitude to a degree that the masquerade had to end, that it had to be acknowledged and admitted that he wasn't capable of being in office.
00:44:52.000And the fact is, in the last four years, Kamala Harris has been in government.
00:44:55.000So all this talk of turning the page is nefarious and absolutely ridiculous.
00:45:01.000The page she's turning has her name on it.
00:45:02.000The page she's turning to has her name as its headline.
00:45:06.000The position that we ought to be adopting is deep cynicism when it comes to all-government rhetoric, particularly when it appears increasingly clear that the ulterior aim is to continue to fund war.
00:45:16.000The ulterior aim is to continue to control communication between ordinary people, denying us transparency while granting them maximum What is this corruption?
00:45:27.000What is this madness we're forced to endure?
00:45:30.000Who among us really would want to continue to fund an unwinnable war when peace was available two years ago?
00:45:38.000Who among us believes that the victims of the Maui fire Or the people suffering as a result of Hurricane Helena are not more worthy of your investiture than this unwinnable war.
00:45:52.000That's not to say that I'm not sympathetic towards Ukrainian people.
00:45:54.000Of course I am. They shouldn't be in that war.
00:45:56.000We should bring about a peace treaty as quickly as possible.
00:45:59.000And if we had a government and systems of government that didn't require as an economic necessity the perpetuation of war, then I believe that peace would be achieved.
00:46:07.000But that's just... Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat right now.
00:46:12.000If you're watching this on YouTube, remember, turn on the notification bell and comment.
00:46:15.000The algorithm will direct you to corporate media and corporate media will keep you comatose.
00:46:27.000And it's a time where awakening is necessary.
00:46:30.000Last night, there were more attacks on Israel.
00:46:34.000This time... It is assumed Iranian-sponsored Hezbollah missiles, of course, follows the assassination and are regarded as retaliatory strikes for the killing of the Hezbollah leader in Lebanon last week.
00:46:50.000I think it was last week. It will move so quickly now.
00:46:52.000Now, it's difficult to imagine a positive outcome in this escalating situation, and I was talking to Colonel Douglas MacGregor last week.
00:47:00.000In fact, that'll probably be up on locals relatively soon.
00:47:03.000We'll get to you with a schedule on that as promptly as we can.
00:47:08.000And he, and he's obviously a military expert, regards that conflict, the Middle Eastern conflict, as more likely to lead to global apocalypse and to strikes on American soil than the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
00:47:23.000Let's have a look at what Glenn Greenwald said on the subject.
00:47:27.000The situation in the Middle East is as dangerous as it's been in a long time and the US President has no functional brain and the Vice President is focused solely on ascending to power.
00:47:36.000We are thus again faced with the question, who is making decisions for the US government?
00:47:40.000So, in this incredibly sensitive time, when what you need is diplomacy and expertise, sensitivity and political brilliance, what you have is a president deemed by his own party to be unfit for purpose, and a vice president focused entirely on campaigning, avoiding interviews as she goes.
00:48:01.000Who has got the rudder of the ship right now?
00:48:07.000Who is going to handle the complex brinkmanship in matters as serious as potential Armageddon?
00:48:14.000Let's have a look right now at some regular footage of those strikes last night in this difficult, impossible to understand conflict.
00:48:24.000Iran has just launched a retaliatory missile attack targeting Israel.
00:48:29.000A US senior administration official telling ABC News now that Iran is expected to fire 240 to 250 missiles at four targets in Israel.
00:48:40.000This includes the Mossad headquarters, Israel's spy agency, three Israeli air bases, We are told it'll take about 15 minutes to actually reach their targets.
00:48:51.000The U.S. and Israeli military with their defenses at the ready at this moment, including Israel's Iron Dome.
00:48:58.000Israel has ordered residents now in Jerusalem to shelter in place.
00:49:02.000The White House had signaled a potential strike was imminent.
00:49:07.000It follows a rapid escalation of violence in the Middle East, something we've been covering for weeks now, including an Israeli airstrike killing Hezbollah's leader in Beirut, Iran launching a direct attack on Israel in April, but few of its missiles and rockets actually reached their intended targets.
00:49:24.000Many were shot down by the U.S. coalitions in the region.
00:49:28.000This comes as the Israeli military now says its troops were conducting limited ground raids in southern Lebanon.
00:49:36.000Remember we were continually told that were Trump ever to get back in office we'd be in danger of lurching towards Armageddon.
00:49:46.000With the President AWOL even in his own mind, Kamala Harris lost in what appears to me to be empty rhetoric campaigning on behalf of globalist interests that benefit from war.
00:49:57.000Who, right now, is focused on bringing peace to the Middle East, ending this volatile,
00:50:03.000incessant, painful and agonising conflict?
00:50:06.000Who is engaged in the necessary diplomacy in Russia and Ukraine?
00:50:10.000They talk to us like we're children, but themselves behave demonically.
00:50:15.000This is a video from Kamala Harris a little while ago.
00:50:18.000Either the Trump administration is angling for another disastrous war in the Middle East,
00:50:22.000or they've spent two years sabre-rattling against Iran with no strategy and endgame.
00:50:27.000The President is making America weaker and less safe.
00:50:31.000Well, if that's true, what are we experiencing now, and who's handling it?
00:50:40.000Similarly, What was once regarded as a policy position is starting to look like mad, empty rhetoric, although it did look like that at the time of it, too.
00:52:10.000True Seer, Blessed Old Bird, and all our little friends.
00:52:14.000McGinty, True Chimera, I love you little lot.
00:52:17.000Okay, let's have a look at what Colonel Douglas MacGregor had to say on the matter of escalation of the likelihood that these attacks might indeed reach the shores of your nation.
00:52:29.000Given that Israel's decision to invade Lebanon marks the beginning of a regional war, Americans should remember the United States has no mutual defence treaty with Israel.
00:52:38.000America's support for Israel's defence has always been unilaterally defined by successive presidents without the ratification of a formal treaty.
00:52:46.000This approach parallels Roosevelt's unilateral alliance with the British Empire and the Soviet Union prior to We're good to go.
00:53:09.000On Americans' own soil, as well as our bases throughout the world.
00:53:15.000What do you think about that analysis?
00:53:17.000Do you think the escalating attacks in the region, as well as being beneficial for the military-industrial complex, as well as taking lives from Israelis and, of course, the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, do you think that this is ultimately a conflict that will play out In your country, the United States of America, what is your prayer for peace for the people of Israel?
00:53:39.000What is your prayer for peace for the people of Palestine?
00:53:42.000And tell me how you envisage this war being contained when indeed it has all the ingredients of a potential global one.
00:53:50.000Seems to me that this is a time where we should be extremely circumspect and cautious and reflective rather than jingoistic and bombastic because Armageddon is not something to take lightly.
00:54:00.000Even significant issues such as the health of your nation and the economy of your nation pale in comparison to the potential that the world itself could be teetering on the brink of conflagration that could almost amount to total collapse.
00:54:14.000But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments.

00:55:23.000literally made in stars Assange is speaking freely
00:55:34.000A man who sacrificed so much that we might speak freely is now speaking freely himself.
00:55:40.000Let's not forget that collectively Julian Assange spent nearly ten years incarcerated in one form or another.
00:55:48.000Five years of that under the harshest conditions imaginable in Belmarsh.
00:55:53.000Without trial. Now he's being released.
00:55:55.000And he's talking about the assassination attempt that the CIA orchestrated.
00:56:04.000Indeed, Julian Assange has always drawn our attention to the ulterior motives that run American foreign policy and ultimately the systems of power that dominate the world.
00:56:14.000He also has drawn our attention to atrocities and war crimes and he has also facilitated the release of information that makes us better able to assess the nature of our government.
00:56:24.000In the truest sense of the word, Julian Assange is a hero.
00:56:27.000And of course, like anyone who opposes great power, he was attacked.
00:56:30.000Allegations that I presume to be untrue were made against him.
00:56:44.000Julian Assange is now free, presumably under some conditions, and he is speaking out about what...
00:56:52.000He believes to have been the conditions that led to his, surely illegal, incarceration, as well as the plot to kidnap and assassinate him by Mike Pompeo, who at that time was the head of the CIA. Let's enjoy the spectacle, the first video I've seen of Julian Assange free.
00:57:11.000I mean, I saw a couple of shots of him on an aeroplane, but here's Julian Assange doing what he does best, telling the truth.
00:58:01.000Mike Pompeo, a Kansas congressman and former arms industry executive, as CIA director.
00:58:07.000And William Barr, a former CIA officer, as US Attorney General.
00:58:17.000By March 2017, WikiLeaks had exposed the CIA's infiltration of French political parties, its spying on French and German leaders, its spying on the European Central Bank, European economics ministries, and its standing orders to spy on French industry as a whole.
00:58:39.000It revealed the CIA's vast production of malware and viruses, its subversion of supply chains, It's a version of antivirus software, cars, smart TVs and iPhones.
00:58:56.000CIA Director Pompeo launched a campaign of retribution.
00:59:04.000Mike Pompeo's not coming over very well in this video, is he?
00:59:08.000He's coming across as perhaps a draconian instrument of an even more fierce and insidious power.
00:59:14.000Mike Pompeo is a person who has caused Tucker Carlson to reflect unfavourably on the CIA. Isn't it curious as well that we were told that when Donald Trump said that the CIA was an organisation in radical need of reform, Well, isn't it interesting that when Donald Trump spoke about releasing the JFK murder files, that it was publicly stated that you can't attack those agencies and think that you're going to get away with it.
00:59:53.000And if their power transcends and bypasses electoral politics, what's the point in having these elections?
00:59:59.000Do the truly powerful remain in power regardless of which side wins?
01:00:03.000Let me know in the comments what you think about that.
01:00:06.000Is the nature of globalism a kind of magnetic pull between deep state bureaucratic power and global corporate commercial power and how those two sets of permanent interests are either side of the observable flux of Of domestic politics.
01:00:50.000He's informing us how the very problems that led to his incarceration are continuing and have been exacerbated and how we should be very wary of the state, of the media, of surveillance and censorship, of smearing, of bringing people down, of controlling opponents.
01:01:06.000And figures like Mike Pompeo appear to be The visible aspect of a very serious and threatening power.
01:01:16.000Here's Tucker Carlson talking about the time that he himself was threatened by Mike Pompeo.
01:01:37.000There's no one person whose secrets are being protected.
01:01:41.000It's an institution, or maybe countries.
01:01:44.000There may have been countries involved, too.
01:01:46.000I mean, I don't know the answer, but there's clearly something worth protecting.
01:01:51.000And I know that when I... I spoke to someone who'd seen the documents, okay?
01:01:56.000Two years ago, and I got one fact out of him, which is, yes, the CIA was involved.
01:02:01.000And by CIA, CIA is a huge organization, but James Jesus Angleton, the head of the operations directorate, had knowledge of this, which I think is...
01:02:11.000I also wonder why people hate Tucker Carlson when you see stuff like that.
01:02:14.000Isn't he like plainly unpacking the true nature of deep state power?
01:02:19.000Sure, he's like a conservative person and he wears conservative clothes and has a conservative haircut.
01:02:26.000But he's plainly interested in real freedom and also plainly not interested in curtailing the freedom of people that have different social views.
01:02:36.000And indeed, even when he comments on that stuff, I think it's...
01:02:39.000But the way that those ideas are used to legitimise authority and censorship, we're going to have to really grow up, I think, and create some new alliances.
01:02:46.000And the thing that excites me about Bobby Kennedy and Toti Gabbard joining the MAGA movement is the possibility to have something genuinely anti-establishment.
01:02:56.000Perhaps the perceived excesses of Donald Trump could be reined in by a figure as...
01:03:00.000Evidently and plainly dignified as Tulsi Gabbard.
01:03:03.000Perhaps the pharmaceutical industry and the agencies that are supposed to regulate both big pharma and American health more widely ought now be rightly terrified, as well as deep state agencies, that someone like Bobby Kennedy could be 35 days away from government.
01:03:21.000Because I sat with him and he explained to me, and I'm I was talking to him in an audience with Tulsi Gabbard as well.
01:03:27.000Exactly how, job by job, he would break down the bureaucracies that afford Big Pharma the ability to exploit the American population, that he would attack the big food industry that keeps y'all sick and eating filthy and addicting foods.
01:03:46.000When I was listening to him, I thought... No wonder the media are attacking this guy on a daily basis, trying to destroy his reputation, trying to make him look like some kind of crackpot, trying to bring him down with all manner of insidious plots.
01:03:59.000This is a powerful, well-intentioned man.
01:04:02.000He's exactly the kind of person you want in government.
01:04:07.000Look, you know me. I want sort of real radical change right down to the level where we run our own communities and grow our own food and try to bring about the kingdom of the Lord on earth individually and collectively respecting the freedom of one another.
01:04:20.000I'm telling you now, and I'll be astonished if anyone thinks otherwise, with the Harris-Waltz Tick it!
01:04:26.000But that's just what I think. Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
01:04:29.000Is this an opportunity for us to unify, to approach politics differently?
01:04:33.000Is it possible that 2016 Donald Trump is not 2024 Donald Trump?
01:04:37.000How could he be with figures like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK on the crew?
01:04:42.000And when you watch someone like J.D. Vance last night in that debate, doesn't he seem just like an old-school senator, charismatic, well-informed, well-intentioned, well-versed, well-educated, self-made?
01:04:52.000What do you want from people these days?
01:07:11.000I mean, I suppose what is quite positive is it's CNN, who are generally supportive of Kamala Harris, that are making this piece.
01:07:21.000I'm a parent, I've got three young children, and when I talk to them about politics because they ask, I mean, half hour to explain to a child what Hitler is.
01:07:29.000It's, like, really complicated to go through that.
01:07:33.000And when I did go through it, my daughter went, he could have killed She immediately made it about herself.
01:07:44.000You know, I think there's a kind of responsibility to try to restore to children a level of ease and sanguinity, a level of peace and comfort in the world, not to heighten their fear and hysteria.
01:07:59.000It's in a way kind of troubling video.
01:08:09.000The study found that these Democrat-leaning kids were about nine times more likely to express negative emotions about Donald Trump than Republican-leaning kids were about Kamala Harris.
01:08:21.000Ashela said in our chat, like Elon observed, kids don't know anything about George Washington apart from the fact that he was a slave owner.
01:08:28.000We are failing in teaching kids critical thinking skills.
01:08:31.000Good comment and a fair comment, I would say.
01:08:36.000not founding father but sort of iconic patriarch is Winston Churchill who's commonly spoken of now as a warmonger and a villain and I don't know you could say that that's some kind of necessary redress for their iconography that preceded that in the prior century but is there a point where beyond politics we look at the qualities of heroism There is an archetype, you know. The archetype is people that are willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
01:09:09.000They are generally people that are driven by purpose and are driven by the common good.
01:09:16.000In fact, literally, the archetype is the hero leaves the place that they are from.
01:09:33.000I'm too frightened. Maybe when you're a little older, after, maybe after the sand people have killed your relatives.
01:09:42.000I mean, the sand people in Star Wars have not become racist.
01:09:48.000That maybe the second time you will hear the call and know that ultimately there is a confrontation that has to take place.
01:09:54.000If you destroy the concept of the hero, like, if you, like, oh, Martin Luther King had sex with his secretary, Malcolm X maybe worked as a rent boy before he went to jail, Gandhi did weird stuff where he slept in a bed with his nieces.
01:10:07.000If you, like... Extract Mother Teresa's stance on abortion or contraception forgoes her life of perpetual sacrifice.
01:10:57.000Not be conformed to the world, but to renew our minds.
01:11:04.000That's just a paraphrase, but how do you renew your mind in this world of so much information that's coming at you, so many opinions and volumes of bits and bobs of this and that?
01:11:18.000How do you keep your mind stayed on Him?
01:11:23.000Yeah, well, I have to continually return to Christ.
01:11:26.000Now, if you're in Awaken Wonder, that content is up there all the time.
01:11:30.000We respond to your questions, we do Bible readings, we do meditation, we do them every week, but not for long, because we are making some significant changes with a new project for our Awaken Wonder community that I know you're going to love.
01:12:25.000The first episode is me talking to brilliant and maverick experts like Robert Malone about the pandemic period, errors and mistakes that were made for the very first time.
01:12:35.000It certainly changed my perspective on the pandemic.
01:12:37.000I think you'll love it. But we've got even more exciting projects coming soon, and I'll tell you more about that
