Stay Free - Russel Brand - WW3, Is Trump’s Personality The Only Solution?! - Stay Free #231

00:00:00.000 So, so

00:00:20.000 so so

00:06:10.000 I Hello there, you Awakening Wanderers. 0.98

00:06:13.000 Thanks for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brand today.

00:06:18.000 We've got an amazing show.

00:06:20.000 Firstly, we've got a wonderful German Shepherd in the building.

00:06:23.000 That's always enjoyable.

00:06:25.000 We've got an amazing guest coming up.

00:06:27.000 Neil Oliver is going to be joining us.

00:06:28.000 Do you know Neil Oliver?

00:06:29.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:06:30.000 Do you know him, guys, in the locals chat?

00:06:33.000 Do you know him in the Rumble chat?

00:06:35.000 You're aware of him?

00:06:36.000 We got a fantastic take on the legacy media's ongoing advocacy for war, where continually

00:06:43.000 they platform people, pundits I suppose you'd say, with military industrial complex ties

00:06:49.000 without mentioning them.

00:06:50.000 You're going to love this, right?

00:06:52.000 They bring people out and go, this person used to work for the Obama administration.

00:06:56.000 He's a diplomat and an expert on bringing about peace.

00:06:58.000 Then with investigation you discover they've got ties to Boeing or Raytheon or Lockheed

00:07:03.000 Martin.

00:07:04.000 In short, the legacy media are showcasing people with MIC, military industrial complex

00:07:10.000 ties, and are presenting them as experts.

00:07:13.000 No wonder war is escalating when you take the opinions of people that benefit from war and present it as news.

00:07:19.000 What is the function of the legacy media?

00:07:21.000 Let me know in the chat right now.

00:07:23.000 If you think it's to convey information, press one.

00:07:26.000 If you think it's to amplify the intentions of the establishment, press two.

00:07:30.000 Let's see them.

00:07:31.000 And I see you glotting the old rumble chat.

00:07:33.000 Let's see a little bit more love in there between one another.

00:07:36.000 We want diversity of opinion.

00:07:38.000 We want free speech.

00:07:39.000 But this is where you can show one another that it's possible to communicate lovingly.

00:07:43.000 If you fancy a little more love, jump over to that locals chat.

00:07:47.000 Lots of peace, lots of glory.

00:07:48.000 For the first 15 minutes, we're going to be on YouTube, okay?

00:07:52.000 But then, and this by the way is water, not vodka, just to clarify.

00:07:56.000 Highland Springs are not running freely with vodka.

00:08:00.000 Unless Putin is pushing his agenda even that far by making the Highlands themselves full of extremely powerful, I would say, ethanol laden drinks.

00:08:13.000 Many of you are pressing too.

00:08:14.000 You recognise that it's all about propaganda.

00:08:16.000 And if you want to know how propaganda works, have a look at the way that news is reported versus the events themselves.

00:08:23.000 You'll love this.

00:08:25.000 MSNBC have been reporting on a Trump slip-up.

00:08:27.000 Did you see this speech?

00:08:28.000 There was a fantastic speech that Trump did, beautiful speech, beautiful speech, where he accidentally said that Viktor Orban was the leader of Turkey instead of Hungary.

00:08:37.000 Of course it's Erdogan, isn't it, is the leader of Turkey.

00:08:41.000 Now MSNBC fall upon this Ravenous and hungry because they show their hands with stories like this.

00:08:49.000 They show their hands, they're even in it go, do you see?

00:08:52.000 Oh, they would have gone crazy if Biden had done this.

00:08:54.000 What they don't show is that just a few seconds later, Trump corrects himself.

00:08:59.000 Sorry, I mean, he's actually, it's hungry, not turkey.

00:09:02.000 They don't mention that.

00:09:03.000 So in a sense, you can watch propaganda in real time.

00:09:06.000 And in a minute, we'll be showing you some of Biden's ongoing extraordinary gaffes, like a handshake that lasts forever.

00:09:14.000 And you'll love this as well.

00:09:15.000 Hillary Clinton and Barrackin live.

00:09:18.000 It's extraordinary to see Hillary again.

00:09:20.000 I ain't watched all of it yet, but if you lot want to watch it, let me know, because we've got a whole host, a wide and maddening variety of options.

00:09:29.000 We'll start, though, by showing you MSNBC reporting on Trump.

00:09:32.000 We're at 5,000 at the moment on the Rumble stream.

00:09:35.000 If we get to 20,000, you can choose what you want to see marched out here.

00:09:39.000 Do you want to see Gareth Roy as usual?

00:09:41.000 Or do you want to see... I mean, you've seen a dog.

00:09:43.000 I don't know what else we can drag out here for you.

00:09:44.000 I don't know who we could present to you people.

00:09:47.000 Let's have a look at the Trump slip-up, but then let's see how it's reported on.

00:09:51.000 It's brilliant.

00:09:52.000 You'll love this.

00:09:53.000 Victor Orban.

00:09:54.000 Did anyone ever hear of him?

00:09:56.000 He's probably, like, one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world.

00:10:00.000 He's the leader of, right?

00:10:03.000 He's the leader of Turkey.

00:10:05.000 Okay, right, so that's the mistake he's made.

00:10:07.000 But look at this, look at this, look at the joy of this.

00:10:10.000 Look at what's behind it.

00:10:11.000 The legacy media yet pretend that what they're doing is conveying information.

00:10:16.000 But what they're doing, as you know, because you all press too, they're amplifying propaganda, right?

00:10:21.000 Except he isn't.

00:10:22.000 It's like I'm hungry.

00:10:24.000 Oh, God.

00:10:25.000 Oh, no.

00:10:26.000 It's a different country.

00:10:27.000 Oh, I'm so exhausted.

00:10:29.000 It's almost as if that mistake is worse than a democracy that's way off track being run by a near-cadaver.

00:10:35.000 If we hadn't had a new tsunami today, I might have lived with that.

00:10:38.000 That was Donald Trump today praising Viktor Orban, the authoritarian leader of Hungary, not Turkey.

00:10:44.000 Of course, when you pal around with the world's autocrats, it's easy to...

00:10:49.000 Mix them up I guess.

00:10:50.000 Sometimes I think when they criticize like Trump's personality, it's a kind of envy, you know, like he's got a sort of ease, conviviality, congeniality, humor and wit that they envy.

00:11:01.000 They try and be funny, they try and be jingoistic, they try and be bombastic, but they just don't do it as well.

00:11:07.000 Now I've been on this show, do you remember that?

00:11:09.000 When I was on that show morning Joe?

00:11:11.000 Look at the piety, the judgment, look at how they even say, oh if Biden did this, they'd be falling upon it while they themselves never

00:11:18.000 report like will they later on on MSNBC cover the moment where Joe Biden does a 20-minute handshake

00:11:25.000 with a scientist that looks like he's about to push her over the edge? Hold on of course uh maybe 0.98

00:11:30.000 he's never even visited Turkey.

00:11:33.000 Maybe the leader of Hungary has visited.

00:11:33.000 I don't know.

00:11:37.000 And if that were Joe Biden, they'd be running wall-to-wall on certain networks with medical experts describing what was happening here and why he needed help and why he should probably step off the stage.

00:11:47.000 Right?

00:11:48.000 Do you see?

00:11:49.000 They're actually sort of meta-commenting on what they themselves do.

00:11:55.000 And with the first newscaster, when she talks about autocrats, you know that Joe Biden has personally enabled the sale of weapons to 57% of the world's autocracies.

00:12:08.000 Does that make sense to you?

00:12:09.000 You know, when Trump was doing arms deals with Saudi Arabia, Biden said he would make Saudi Arabia a pariah and yet they sell more arms than Trump sold to Saudi Arabia.

00:12:22.000 So, actually, when it comes to it, they can't criticise Trump on policy because, hey, what about the wall?

00:12:29.000 They're building that wall anyway.

00:12:31.000 It's extraordinary.

00:12:32.000 It's extraordinary.

00:12:33.000 Let's have a look at what actually happened in that Trump speech.

00:12:35.000 You'll be astonished.

00:12:36.000 And remember, are you familiar with Neil Oliver?

00:12:38.000 He's coming on the show.

00:12:39.000 He's a fantastic British commentator, Scottish specifically.

00:12:43.000 I think you're going to enjoy seeing him.

00:12:44.000 If you have questions for Neil, post them in the chat right now.

00:12:48.000 Let's have a look at Trump's speech and what they don't report on the legacy media. We're

00:12:53.000 trying to, as best as we can, give you some kind of balance so we can come together.

00:12:57.000 Because believe you me, unless we find ways of unifying, unless we find ways of being diverse

00:13:02.000 but unified, decentralised but unified, they've already won. I'm telling you, they've

00:13:07.000 already won.

00:13:07.000 He is the leader of, right, he's the leader of Turkey.

00:13:11.000 Fronts on both Russia.

00:13:13.000 Fronts on both Russia.

00:13:14.000 Yeah, you can sit down.

00:13:15.000 We'll be here for a little while.

00:13:16.000 We got plenty of time, what the hell.

00:13:18.000 I'm very honored that you're all standing, but sit down.

00:13:22.000 They'll be standing in a couple of minutes as soon as we say some of the things they like, because they're waiting.

00:13:27.000 They're waiting for that.

00:13:28.000 But Viktor Orban, and he's the head of Hungary, and he runs a tough, let me tell you, he runs it proper.

00:13:36.000 Trump's corrected it.

00:13:36.000 No big deal.

00:13:37.000 Can't put that on the news.

00:13:38.000 He runs it strong with crime and everything else.

00:13:41.000 He runs it strong and he doesn't let terrorists into his country.

00:13:46.000 They said, what do you recommend for Joe Biden if you could tell him anything?

00:13:50.000 I tell him to resign and let Trump become president because nobody ran Let me know, are the liberal mainstream media hypocritical when it comes to their coverage of Trump?

00:14:01.000 And what does this story tell you?

00:14:02.000 Just a simple Y or N in the chat over on Rumble.

00:14:07.000 The most relevant part of the speech wasn't covered.

00:14:07.000 Let me know.

00:14:10.000 This is talking about Trump's personality in relationship to war and Hillary Clinton's claim that Trump's personality in and of itself was a creator of conflict.

00:14:20.000 A little bit later, we'll show you Hillary Clinton In an extraordinary showdown with a heckler. 1.00

00:14:26.000 You're gonna love that.

00:14:27.000 Yeah, look, yeses are coming.

00:14:27.000 Let me know if you want to see it.

00:14:29.000 Thick and fast.

00:14:30.000 Let's have a look at Trump saying that his personality is like a balm.

00:14:35.000 It's like a dove from the Lord.

00:14:36.000 It's an olive branch!

00:14:38.000 We defeated ISIS.

00:14:38.000 Look at what we did.

00:14:39.000 Remember when Hillary Clinton... I don't call her crooked anymore. 1.00

00:14:42.000 I've given that term over to her.

00:14:45.000 I call her beautiful Hillary.

00:14:46.000 She's a beautiful woman.

00:14:48.000 Beautiful, Hillary. 0.99

00:14:49.000 Remember when she was... He'll cause a war with his personality.

00:14:53.000 No, my personality kept us out of war.

00:14:54.000 We didn't have any wars.

00:14:55.000 I was the first one in, I think they say, 76 years.

00:15:00.000 Now with this Omnicrisis escalating the potential for Iran to become involved in the conflict with yet more funding going to Ukraine, perpetuating the war with Russia, with escalating tensions with China, whose personality is better suited to bringing about peace? 0.82

00:15:18.000 Do you think it's Trump or do you think it's this guy?

00:15:20.000 Now to give Joe Biden his credit, he certainly shake hands well, but It may be a little bit too long.

00:15:27.000 Tell me if you think he overdoes it with his handshake and tell me, like, I want you to say now at the point where you think he should have let go of the hand.

00:15:34.000 Let's have a look at this.

00:15:35.000 I think he's given an award to a scientist, a neurologist, I think.

00:15:39.000 Have a look at this.

00:15:43.000 The National Medal of Science is being presented to Huda Akil.

00:15:46.000 That's long enough.

00:15:47.000 Already now, this is we're in excess handshake territory.

00:15:51.000 Of the University of Michigan, for pioneering contributions to our understanding of the brain biology of emotions.

00:15:58.000 Her seminal discoveries of the molecular neural- Bet she's making some molecular neural discoveries right now.

00:16:04.000 Will you please let go of my hand?

00:16:06.000 Follow the science!

00:16:08.000 Genetic and behavioral mechanisms of pain, substance abuse, and depression have helped identify novel targets Lottie is saying now.

00:16:18.000 Now!

00:16:18.000 He should have let go by now.

00:16:20.000 Join us over on Rumble.

00:16:21.000 Not you, Lott, you Awakened Wonders.

00:16:23.000 Press the red button if you want to become an Awakened Wonder and support our work so that we can continue to develop and grow this movement.

00:16:29.000 Here on Stay Free, we point out the problem.

00:16:32.000 There, with the Awakened Wonder community and locals, we are moving towards solutions.

00:16:37.000 Joe Biden on stage is still shaking hands.

00:16:39.000 for treatments strengthening our nation's public health including the fight to end the opioid epidemic

00:16:45.000 and this is where we've now entered an extraordinary time i believe where everything has become politicized

00:16:58.000 We got some fantastic reporting for you on excess deaths, which I can't talk about while we're still on YouTube.

00:17:04.000 Some revelatory stuff that if you were someone that was sceptical around the pandemic and the way that it was being handled, you are going to be verified.

00:17:12.000 You are going to be given the data you require to seal this conversation once And for all.

00:17:19.000 But I feel that COVID and vaccines were politicised from the beginning.

00:17:22.000 Do you think that it was science that determined the behaviour during lockdown and the policy during lockdown?

00:17:27.000 Press S if you do.

00:17:29.000 Or was it politics?

00:17:30.000 Press P if you think that it was politics.

00:17:33.000 Have a look at this from our man Biden, claiming that it was science.

00:17:38.000 No, starting on day one, in the middle of the pandemic, we vaccinated a nation The greatest operational effort ever undertaken by this country.

00:17:48.000 Operational.

00:17:50.000 And we did it with a strategy based on science, not on politics.

00:17:57.000 Yeah, politics.

00:17:58.000 It was highly political in the end, wasn't it?

00:18:00.000 I feel that people were getting boosters for political reasons.

00:18:03.000 I'm still on YouTube, so let's be careful.

00:18:05.000 People were wearing masks for political reasons because the science tells a very different story.

00:18:11.000 Whether it's natural immunity, whether it's the lack of clinical trials on transplants.

00:18:15.000 I've just got to be careful because we're on YouTube.

00:18:17.000 I can't say everything I want to say on this platform.

00:18:21.000 It's simply not possible.

00:18:22.000 But let's Just to show you a little bit of contrast before we move on to some of the Hillary Clinton stuff, let's just remind ourselves how Kamala Harris and Joe Biden talked about the vaccine prior to their administration commencing.

00:18:37.000 If the Trump administration approves a vaccine before or after the election, should Americans take it and would you take it?

00:18:44.000 If Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.

00:18:47.000 The people of this country don't trust this federal government.

00:18:52.000 With this vaccine process?

00:18:54.000 I trust vaccines.

00:18:56.000 I trust scientists.

00:18:58.000 But I don't trust Donald Trump.

00:19:01.000 The WHO are on the very precipice of being able to impose a global treaty that will mean your country, if it's a member of the WHO, will have to give 5% of its health budget to the WHO and that your country will have to obey their legislation when it comes to masks.

00:19:21.000 lockdowns, vaccines in the event, and some would say the inevitable event, of another

00:19:25.000 pandemic. Here is the WHO Director General complaining that the spread of misinformation

00:19:31.000 undermines faith in our institutions. But what's really undermining the faith in institutions?

00:19:36.000 Is it misinformation or is it corruption? Press M if it's misinformation, press C if

00:19:42.000 it's corruption.

00:19:43.000 We saw a lack of coordination between nations and between health actors and the politicization

00:19:52.000 of science and the undermining of faith in our institutions from the spread of misinformation.

00:20:02.000 Whether it's in the Rumble chat right now or in the Awakened Wonder Locals chat, there's naught but the letter C raining down endlessly.

00:20:12.000 What vitamin you need, though, is vitamin D, not C, although, you know, that would perhaps be a little too scientific for the WHO.

00:20:19.000 How are you feeling about this WHO treaty?

00:20:22.000 Do you want to grant more power to unelected to be continued.

00:20:45.000 The proposal was circulated to World Health Organization member states on Monday, October the 16th.

00:20:50.000 The text is publicly available from October the 30th.

00:20:54.000 Have a little look, because sometimes I was told they just move one little word, like you should not be able to impose vaccine mandates.

00:21:02.000 You Should be able to impose.

00:21:04.000 It's only small changes but with pretty significant implications.

00:21:09.000 In the UK there's a petition.

00:21:11.000 We should post that petition so that it is at least negotiated in Parliament.

00:21:16.000 No one will turn up for it.

00:21:17.000 Let me know in your country, wherever you are in North America, is there any resistance to this treaty?

00:21:23.000 Anything being learned from the last few years.

00:21:25.000 Now, before we have a look at Hillary Clinton at Columbia University dealing with a protester on the basis of Biden's $100 billion military funding bundle, which is exacerbating, I would argue, death and destruction on an unprecedented scale.

00:21:43.000 Let me know what you want to see when we come off YouTube.

00:21:45.000 The skyrocketing demand for panic rooms.

00:21:48.000 It's an interesting story.

00:21:49.000 Everybody's in a state of total panic and people want panic rooms and safe rooms

00:21:54.000 and stuff like that.

00:21:55.000 Or would you like to see Dr. Drew discussing myocarditis?

00:21:59.000 First, one for panic rooms, two for Dr. Drew.

00:22:02.000 Let me know as well how you feel about this Hillary Clinton. 0.99

00:22:06.000 and shouting match. We just started to watch this and let me know too if you want to see,

00:22:10.000 I'm wondering whether we should go straight to Neil Oliver or whether or not we should show our

00:22:15.000 keys and news but I'll ask you that in a little second. I just want to make sure you guys are

00:22:18.000 in absolute control of what we're doing. I would say the Institute of Global Politics,

00:22:29.000 even as a name, tells you a little too much about what's happening.

00:22:33.000 What you want is regionalised, decentralised politics, federalism, maximum amount of democracy, not an elite establishment march, decentralising power and introducing authoritarianism wherever possible by introducing crisis wherever possible so people are in a total state of fear and dread and unable to think straight.

00:22:52.000 I'm not sorry. You sit down and we're gonna let other people talk.

00:22:57.000 I'm gonna turn now to Frank Logesha.

00:23:00.000 Frank Logesha is It's funny, that portrait on the wall just like,

00:23:05.000 this isn't why we built this place.

00:23:06.000 A leading civil rights organizer who is

00:23:13.000 President Joe Biden is calling for a hundred billion dollars of funding for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine and we're supposed to just bundle these together and pretend like we're gonna rush to World War III and we're all just gonna let Hillary Rodham Clinton sit here. 1.00

00:23:26.000 Okay.

00:23:28.000 I'm sorry.

00:23:29.000 You know, this is not the way to have a conversation.

00:23:33.000 If you want to have a conversation, you're welcome to come talk to me afterwards.

00:23:37.000 You can sit here.

00:23:38.000 Okay, right.

00:23:39.000 You're gonna wait for me, right?

00:23:41.000 I will wait for you, and I will listen to you, and I will respond to you.

00:23:45.000 I do not believe you.

00:23:46.000 Respectfully, I do not believe you.

00:23:48.000 And the fact of the matter is that the American people's voice are what need to be heard.

00:23:52.000 Yeah, they are being heard.

00:23:53.000 Because our president is not speaking for the American people and neither are you.

00:23:56.000 Well, that's your opinion.

00:23:57.000 That's your opinion.

00:23:58.000 Yes, that's my opinion.

00:24:00.000 P for protester, H for Hillary in the chat.

00:24:04.000 And do you remember being given a vote on how to escalate and fund the military-industrial complex and their clear agenda?

00:24:12.000 P if you were the protester, H if you were Hillary.

00:24:15.000 Well then sit down, we've heard your opinion.

00:24:17.000 Thank you very much.

00:24:18.000 Now we're going to turn to people who are on the front lines of working on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

00:24:24.000 Get into the basket of deplorables! 0.98

00:24:27.000 There is so much pee in the chat that the Democrats will tell you that it's raining down on Donald Trump from a Russian sex worker and try and create a hoax out of it! 0.99

00:25:21.000 We are brilliant in your historical cherry picking!

00:25:25.000 The Pinochet regime!

00:25:27.000 Cherry picking Hillary, uh, steal dossier? 1.00

00:25:31.000 Please, could you please inform me about the United States?

00:25:34.000 I think we are going to move on to...

00:25:37.000 Ms. Clinton, will you denounce Joe Biden?

00:25:40.000 Will you denounce Joe Biden's speech?

00:25:43.000 Not just yelling about it.

00:25:46.000 So Frank, I want to turn to you because...

00:25:49.000 We are not just turning to Frank at a time like this.

00:25:51.000 A lot of people in the rumble chat concerned for that young man.

00:25:55.000 But like, yeah, I think, do, I would say, make a video right now saying, I'm in good mental health, I feel pretty optimistic about the future.

00:26:03.000 Sadly, that young man was found in... You can finish that sentence, guys.

00:26:08.000 You are from Uganda, and Uganda is 2023.

00:26:13.000 Did she just say, you are Uganda?

00:26:16.000 Wow, I must visit Uganda this year.

00:26:21.000 Homosexuality Act criminalises LGBT conduct in Uganda.

00:26:28.000 It's really amazing because there's a much more immediate problem than LGBTQ plus problems in Uganda. 0.90

00:26:37.000 Why are you funding these wars?

00:26:39.000 Where's our democracy, man?

00:26:41.000 Never mind all that.

00:26:42.000 Let's get back to what's going on in Uganda.

00:26:46.000 to world war three!

00:26:48.000 do you understand?

00:26:50.000 it's not about israel's Palestine, it's not about

00:26:54.000 it's not football, this isn't football it's not team america

00:26:58.000 well, i'm sorry but some of us are on team america

00:27:02.000 despite our flaws and our problems yes, that's me!

00:27:06.000 oh no, you don't get away with that they're not, uh, team america

00:27:10.000 no, some of us do like actually america

00:27:14.000 as a matter of fact and our ability to have

00:27:18.000 ongoing bombing raids all the-

00:27:22.000 and some of us every person on this stage

00:27:26.000 you have to stop, right now Wait, I want to say one thing.

00:27:30.000 Every person on this stage has risked their life, their income, their reputation.

00:27:38.000 Will you please just let us discuss Uganda?

00:27:42.000 I mean Uganda is an interesting nation but plainly this is not the way the conversation is going.

00:27:48.000 What was she saying there?

00:27:50.000 What have you done other than stand up and voice your protest?

00:28:08.000 Get into your basket of deplorables and do what you're told!

00:28:13.000 This is liberalism!

00:28:14.000 This is what liberalism... Put this mask on!

00:28:16.000 You are at risk!

00:28:17.000 You're not two meters apart!

00:28:19.000 Here, this will make you feel better!

00:28:22.000 Extraordinary stuff!

00:28:23.000 Okay listen, you lot want to see the myocarditis clip?

00:28:27.000 Of course you want to see the myocarditis clip!

00:28:29.000 We're going to have to leave YouTube to do that and straight after that we're going to talk to our dear beloved friend Neil Oliver who's a fantastic pundit, truth teller, he's got some fantastic perspectives that you are going to want to hear.

00:28:43.000 So if you're watching this on YouTube right now there's a link In fact, that young man, we should find that guy because he would love this video and I don't think he'll be shouting throughout here because I agree.

00:28:55.000 Yes, exactly!

00:28:55.000 Oliver, we're going to talk about the use of pundits with ties to military industrial

00:28:55.000 Exactly!

00:29:00.000 complex companies that ain't declared as they advocate for ongoing expenditure on war.

00:29:04.000 In fact, that young man, we should find that guy because he would love this video and I don't think

00:29:09.000 he'll be shouting throughout here because I agree, yes, exactly, exactly, Team America!

00:29:14.000 Hillary on the other hand, I don't think she'd be a fan.

00:29:17.000 Okay, so enjoy.

00:29:18.000 If you're on YouTube, ta-ta for now.

00:29:20.000 See you in a minute.

00:29:21.000 And we're going to look at Dr. Drew.

00:29:23.000 Are we off YouTube now?

00:29:23.000 Let us know.

00:29:25.000 We're gone, guys.

00:29:25.000 See you later, YouTube.

00:29:27.000 We have to wait a while because if I accidentally say something that WHO wouldn't like, we get in a lot of trouble.

00:29:32.000 So get over here right now. 1.00

00:29:34.000 We're going to talk about Dr. Drew discussing recent American Heart Association journal reports.

00:29:39.000 50% of young men with myocarditis after jab had permanent Can I say it yet?

00:29:44.000 Are we off YouTube?

00:29:45.000 Still can't say it.

00:29:46.000 Still can't say it.

00:29:48.000 Clear!

00:29:48.000 Heart damage!

00:29:49.000 Bloody!

00:29:50.000 My heart can't die!

00:29:51.000 It's them jabs cause my heart can't die!

00:29:53.000 Why can't we say this?

00:29:54.000 Why are we not free to tell the truth?

00:29:56.000 Become an awakened wonder.

00:29:58.000 Join us.

00:29:58.000 It's enough commenting on the problems.

00:30:00.000 You can see what the problem is.

00:30:01.000 And the problem is that we're waging war around the world.

00:30:05.000 We're waging war against one another when if we were smart, Just for a second, we would recognize we have more in common with one another than we do with the establishment elites that pull the strings, guide, govern, and control us.

00:30:19.000 Okay, guys.

00:30:21.000 Okay, let's have a look at Dr. Drew on myocarditis, which apparently is a side effect of a certain little very popular injection that had a good PR campaign not long ago.

00:30:32.000 They saved lives in the Middle East, and in this country, safe rooms are now becoming popular.

00:30:37.000 Mind safe rooms.

00:30:38.000 You're not getting no safe rooms.

00:30:39.000 Democracy works.

00:30:41.000 There must have been some faulty voting machines on this end, let me tell you.

00:30:44.000 Let's have a look at Dr. Drew.

00:30:45.000 It's more common than we thought.

00:30:47.000 People are like, well, it's mild.

00:30:48.000 It's mild.

00:30:49.000 It's no big deal.

00:30:49.000 It's self-limited.

00:30:51.000 Look, in my world, throughout my entire career, 40-year career, myocarditis is a medical emergency.

00:30:56.000 It's a dire problem.

00:30:57.000 A publication just came out five days ago in Circulation, a major cardiac cardiology journal.

00:31:03.000 An excellent study and it showed, it took my breath away, I didn't know why it wasn't headline news.

00:31:07.000 It's a large study and it showed that... Well no, it's not headline news, it's censored.

00:31:11.000 About approximately half of the young males that got myocarditis had permanent heart damage.

00:31:17.000 Yep.

00:31:18.000 Permanent.

00:31:18.000 That means that we don't know what percentage are going to be disabled by this as they get older, are going to develop heart failure, are going to need cardiac transplants, some of them.

00:31:28.000 Oh my god.

00:31:29.000 Breathtaking, this study, and why it wasn't a big headline.

00:31:32.000 I've sort of centered around a little bit because I don't understand why people aren't reacting to it.

00:31:36.000 So in a 27-year-old male, the illness is a nothing.

00:31:40.000 So the vaccine is all risk.

00:31:43.000 Why the push?

00:31:45.000 Why are we pushing?

00:31:46.000 And I think, put your legal head on for a second, that universities are going to be in big trouble for having mandated young people to get that vaccine.

00:31:54.000 I agree with that.

00:31:55.000 they're gonna have long-term consequences and they should sue those schools for having forced them to take a medical

00:31:59.000 intervention.

00:32:00.000 There you go, just another aspect of this unfolding drama that seems to lead more and more to censorship and

00:32:08.000 centralized control.

00:32:10.000 Hey guys, let's do a post right now on X and let people there know that Neil Oliver from GB News is about to join

00:32:17.000 us.

00:32:18.000 And the first question I want to ask Neil is this.

00:32:22.000 Is the crisis that we're confronting so big that we can't even face it?

00:32:27.000 Is that what's happening?

00:32:28.000 Let them know on X. Give them a still of the two of us together.

00:32:31.000 And those of you that are watching us now in Rumble or in our locals community, please welcome from GB News, my new friend, And potential sort of doppelganger cousin in a pastoral wonderland, Neil Oliver.

00:32:45.000 Thanks for joining us, Neil.

00:32:48.000 The audio in here, I can't hear Neil.

00:32:49.000 I don't know if you're muted, mate, but I can't hear you in here.

00:32:54.000 Can you hear me now?

00:32:54.000 There we go.

00:32:55.000 I can, but I can also do your side of the conversation.

00:32:58.000 Oh, hello.

00:32:59.000 Yeah, well, what it is, Russell, is we're at a point of crisis.

00:33:02.000 You've got a lovely little Scottish accent.

00:33:04.000 Neil, mate, can you tell us Why do you think people are unable to appropriately respond to what seems to be a kind of omnicrisis, an all-immersive, total surrounding nightmare?

00:33:18.000 Why are people not able to face it?

00:33:20.000 What is it, Neil?

00:33:22.000 I think, in essence, it's too big for a lot of people to contemplate.

00:33:27.000 I think to embrace the scale of the problem involves people in being prepared to set aside the way they've perceived the world, the way they've understood the relationship with the state, the way they've understood the role of science and the obligations that the institutions have towards us, that symbiotic relationship that's supposed to be there.

00:33:51.000 And because it's too much, many, many people who have a great deal of a sense of self invested in, you know, that they believe that they understand, they believe they've read enough, they believe they're, you know, in control of the facts and the data, and to contemplate that they might have had it wrong, that they might have been duped, fooled, tricked.

00:34:11.000 It's too much.

00:34:12.000 And, you know, there's there are, well, there's historical, not exactly historical precedent, but when it came to when the when the ships of the of Europe were encountering the New World, and it's partly apocryphal, but the story goes that when, say, Columbus's ships appeared in the Americas or when Captain Cook's Endeavour arrived in Australia, There are various stories that circulate that the indigenous people didn't even look up at the arrival of these enormous ships.

00:34:42.000 Now, it all comes really from a diary entry by Joseph Banks, probably Cook's botanist.

00:34:48.000 But nonetheless, the idea that's pushed is that it was too much for them to take on.

00:34:53.000 And so they simply pretended that the ships weren't there.

00:34:56.000 Now, apocryphal or not, I think it's illustrative.

00:34:59.000 of the idea that sometimes something is too big for people to be willing to comprehend it.

00:35:05.000 And I think, perhaps counter to the way you might think, it's the cleverest people, the people who consider themselves the most educated and the most experienced and the wisest, that struggle to allow for the possibility that they might have to rethink their understanding of society, even of reality.

00:35:22.000 Yes, it's an incredible invitation, and a terrifying one, to have a personal awakening induced of that scale, Neil.

00:35:32.000 And I love your use of that, albeit potentially apocryphal tale, that what's appearing on the horizon of our life is so inconceivably large, so extraordinary, and represents such a disruption, that unless you're a sort of a cynical and sceptical person, and I know many of our awakened wonders, and many of our friends in the rumble chat are, You know, my default position towards authority, Neil, is I don't trust authority.

00:35:57.000 That meant that for a while I was considered sort of a left-wing person because I don't trust authority and my natural alliances used to be on the left.

00:36:05.000 It seems now that a lot of people think I'm a conspiracy theorist or a right-wing, but really my position hasn't changed.

00:36:10.000 I don't trust authority.

00:36:12.000 Now, I had a conversation with Jordan Peterson the other day, which will be available on Locals in a couple of days, actually, and you'll love it.

00:36:19.000 And I talked about, you know, it's sort of obviously a That's a very well-worn idea.

00:36:23.000 The idea that in a secular or post-religious order, the role of God or the organising principle is taken by the state.

00:36:33.000 So to sort of disavow the state becomes a kind of heresy.

00:36:37.000 Earlier we showed a clip where we talked about the politicisation of Covid, wearing masks, being a badge of honour, getting booster shots, Almost like some kind of pharmaceutical communion, like some ongoing doubling down on your allegiance to a particular ideology.

00:36:54.000 Do you think that part of the reason people can't have a real reckoning around the pandemic era and what it has revealed, authoritarianism, a desire for surveillance, a tendency towards censorship, a plain Do you think it's because a kind of religious sense has been grafted onto the public political consciousness, Neil?

00:37:19.000 Yeah, I do.

00:37:20.000 I think experience of looking back at the last few hundred years seems to suggest that in doing away with God, in doing away with religiosity and ridiculing and setting aside faith in the West, has not been helpful.

00:37:41.000 And I think it's demonstrable by the fact that Into the space left behind by religion is pulled some other zombie, parasitic replacement for faith in the transcendent.

00:37:57.000 You know, I think it's undeniable that many people, perhaps most people, have a sense of the transcendent, however they might express it.

00:38:05.000 You know, the thirst that from the soul doth rise, doth ask a drink divine, said the poet.

00:38:10.000 And where true religion is taken away, something else takes its place.

00:38:13.000 And I think we saw during the Covid debacle, I think we saw a religiosity around the way all of it was pushed.

00:38:21.000 And so you had a dress code, you had people having to wear face masks because that was part of the appearance that enabled people to demonstrate that they were good people.

00:38:32.000 I am wearing a mask because I am one of the good guys.

00:38:35.000 When it came to the products that were pushed as vaccines, it was almost like taking communion.

00:38:42.000 It was like an ersatz, Eucharist, where people didn't just take the vaccine, they wanted to be seen to take those products.

00:38:50.000 And so they were posting pictures of themselves receiving the injection and showing their vaccination cards and all of the rest of it.

00:38:56.000 There were good scientists and bad scientists, which is a replacement for the priests and the heretics, But there was undoubtedly a religiosity about it. 0.99

00:39:05.000 And I think it demonstrated that in the absence of faith, in the absence of religion, something else, something less worthy and something ultimately less helpful gets pulled into the void.

00:39:17.000 I think it seems to me at least significant that one component of it is an ongoing demonstration of allegiance.

00:39:25.000 I've noted with interest this rising fear in our culture.

00:39:30.000 Fear, anger, desire, primal emotions, a tendency to throw onto the other the kind of shadow qualities of every individual.

00:39:41.000 It's extraordinary to see a kind of what seems to be a sort of a scent of evil.

00:39:47.000 It appears too that the kind of comfortable idea that our culture, the sort of we of the West, are the good guys, seems to be under question.

00:39:59.000 Neil, I understand that you and I share an opinion that potentially even history itself has been mistold, even recent events.

00:40:08.000 This might seem a little highfalutin and even a little fudge, but because of the potential that at the end of the Second World War significant numbers of Nazi scientists took roles within NASA, for example, is it possible that Somehow there is a kind of a ghost of evil, transcendent of nation, moving from territory to territory.

00:40:30.000 I mean, is this what globalism really is?

00:40:33.000 Corporate elites, alliances that transcend either religion, corporate affiliation, national affiliation, and other examples of that through history, a kind of I don't want to get into the realm of conspiracy theory, certainly not on the basis of anything other than economic interests and interests of dominion.

00:40:54.000 But do you feel that that's a possibility?

00:40:57.000 That we are no longer on the side of righteousness, potentially because we're being marshaled by forces that are not easy to observe within conventional history?

00:41:07.000 I have, over the last few years, begun to open myself up to the possibility that Well, as you say, since perhaps the end of the Second World War.

00:41:17.000 I think if the West were the good guys, I've begun to question whether or not we still are.

00:41:25.000 And I think possibly our goodness began to wane in the years following the end of the Second World War.

00:41:30.000 I think to some extent it might have been because there was an open goal You know, America in particular, the West, had an opportunity to be predominant.

00:41:40.000 And I think there was a temptation that came with that to exploit opportunities to make money.

00:41:45.000 I think the rest of the 20th century and the prosecution of one war after another, I think when I look at it now, I contemplate the possibility that it was increasingly because it was the opportunity for profit that was driving a lot of that.

00:41:59.000 We talk all the time about the military-industrial complex.

00:42:02.000 I think that's been driving it.

00:42:04.000 I've even begun to wonder at the extent to which we're told the truth about exactly who won the war and how.

00:42:13.000 You know, you talk about Operation Paperclip when the Americans uplifted a lot of Nazi scientists and transplanted them into the United States, and a lot of those people took up positions of influence in esteemed universities and other places of influence. 0.53

00:42:30.000 I'm minded of that, you know, the line from The Usual Suspects, the thing about, you know, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was persuading the world he didn't exist.

00:42:37.000 I do wonder at the extent to which some of the evil that was there in the 30s and the 40s just managed to disappear out of sight without actually being expunged or cleared away once and for all.

00:42:50.000 I think to some extent it has been there ever since.

00:42:55.000 But it's part of that coming to terms with the possibility that you might have to reengineer your understanding of the world around you is to contemplate that, you know, perhaps that notion that the West, the United States are and have always been the good guys.

00:43:13.000 I think that's definitely under question now.

00:43:16.000 And it's very uncomfortable.

00:43:18.000 I share the discomfort in having to go through that.

00:43:21.000 And once again, I say, I think that's why so many people won't even begin to take one step On to that kind of staircase of disbelief and begin to contemplate the possibility that the way they've understood and perceived the world might need a radical rethink.

00:43:35.000 Yeah, because that staircase of disbelief, I wonder if it's an ascendancy like Ezekiel or a descent like the dude with the harp, you know, who goes Orpheus.

00:43:48.000 You know, because what I feel, Neil, is that in a way we have to start considering a completely different understanding of reality.

00:43:59.000 Seems that individualism Rationalism, materialism, progressivism.

00:44:06.000 And I don't actually just mean cultural progressivism in terms of different forms of identity.

00:44:11.000 I mean the idea that there is a teleology for humanity.

00:44:16.000 That we are wealthier than our grandparents and you've got this new gadgetry.

00:44:22.000 It seems to me that something is being obscured from us.

00:44:25.000 Is it God?

00:44:27.000 Is it Atlantis?

00:44:29.000 Is there a kind of lost history?

00:44:31.000 Some hidden mystery that might yet unify us? 0.91

00:44:35.000 Is it as simple as the fact that we've become detached from our anthropological conditions as creatures that might live harmonized in localized tribes rather than gathered together corralled in herds of 30 million, 300 million, 60 million with a centralized Dictatorial authoritarian government dispatching medicines and fake news and keeping us dumb and sugared up and screen-fed and fat.

00:45:05.000 You know, do you feel sometimes that there needs to be a philosophical shift that's difficult, obviously, to contemplate from within the limited position we now find ourselves?

00:45:16.000 Because this ascent or descent that you're referring to He said, you know, how does the unenlightened mind become enlightened, Neil?

00:45:25.000 How?

00:45:26.000 I think to some extent, I think part of the problem is that as a species, I think we are forgetful.

00:45:35.000 And I think we have a tendency to a kind of, you know, cultural Alzheimer's.

00:45:40.000 I don't think our collective memory goes back very far, maybe just a few generations.

00:45:47.000 And beyond that, we're dependent upon the history books or the accounts of history.

00:45:51.000 And, you know, the whole, all the caveats about history being written by the victors always applies there.

00:45:57.000 And so I think we're a forgetful species.

00:46:00.000 You know, Henri Bergson, the philosopher, said it's the function of the brain to enable us not to remember, but to forget.

00:46:06.000 I think we are always in the process as individuals and collectively of forgetting what actually happened.

00:46:12.000 And so I think we need periodically to be reminded or to remind each other of what really matters and when you look back through history you can see you can note the appearance time and time again of particularly bright lights who sought one way or another to say the same thing you know and i'm talking here about people like jesus christ or about the buddha uh or even about even about someone like mahatma gandhi who tended to stress the importance the inviolability of the individual

00:46:44.000 And that ultimately everything comes back to us having faith in ourselves as individuals.

00:46:51.000 And part of that is being prepared to take responsibility for what we each can do and the change that we can each affect.

00:47:01.000 As thinking, considerate, compassionate individuals.

00:47:06.000 And you see society reminding itself of that over and over again.

00:47:10.000 You know, in 1215, when Magna Carta was written in England, it wasn't actually coming up with anything new.

00:47:18.000 On the contrary, it was restating ideas and truths that had come from a time immemorial.

00:47:24.000 And it centered on the importance of the individual.

00:47:28.000 And that's why it restated the idea that every man from the king down to the to the lowliest commoner was entitled to trial by jury, because a trial by a jury of your peers was regarded as being the way in which the guilt or innocence of an individual.

00:47:46.000 That wasn't the only thing being tested.

00:47:48.000 It was the justice of the law itself.

00:47:51.000 And it's why what was enshrined in trial by jury in Magna Carta was that it ultimately came down to the individual.

00:47:58.000 So that rather than majority verdicts in the original juries, if you had someone being tried and let's say 11 of the 12 said guilty, but one man, one person said not guilty, then the judgment of that jury was not guilty.

00:48:15.000 So that it enshrined in the importance of trial by jury that ultimately it was the conscience of the individual that carried the weight.

00:48:25.000 Now, that's a fundamentally important concept.

00:48:28.000 You see it again in 1776 in the Declaration of Independence in the United States.

00:48:35.000 It's careful, the founding fathers were careful once again to remind themselves and the society they were trying to build that it's not about the majority necessarily.

00:48:45.000 Ultimately, it's about the individual conscience It's the thinking individual that makes all the difference.

00:48:53.000 That's why there is a danger, actually, in allowing always for a majority verdict, or waiting for a democratic decision, as we've been tricked as a population into a consensus of false belief that the majority is always right.

00:49:10.000 Because if the last three years have shown us anything at all, it's that on the contrary, it's often, possibly always, a minority, a determined, honest, passionate minority that is actually able to stand in the face of the majority and say, this is wrong.

00:49:29.000 There is a better way, there's an alternative way and it's minorities and indeed ultimately the individuals down through history that have made the difference, that have changed the course of society and civilization and we need periodically to be reminded of that and to remind each other of that because we are a forgetful species. 1.00

00:49:50.000 Neil, that's such a beautiful appraisal of the role of the individual and the potential of the individual that seems both arcane and progressive simultaneously, a kind of principle that we might organize around And I think you're right that the assumption that the majority by virtue of the cargo carried in the mass are correct is again and again demonstrated to be untrue in your example of the last three years.

00:50:22.000 It is indeed a good one.

00:50:25.000 Sometimes I think, I love Jesus Christ, but I sometimes think it is the utility of Christianity that allowed its ascendancy, particularly, you know, in a post-Constantine sense, when it became the religion of the state, shall we say, of the Empire.

00:50:43.000 And perhaps a comparable thing might be true Of democracy, that whilst in a sense when organizing a small community, what principles are available to you?

00:50:55.000 Benign dictatorship, wise elders, elders that are in a position of service that lead through sacrifice and selflessness, that can of course take place.

00:51:06.000 In a decentralized and localized model that would certainly be more in tune with how we live for tens of thousands of years and, wow, perhaps a hell of a lot longer if some commentators and, let's say, radical historians is to be believed.

00:51:22.000 And when it comes to democracy, as with Christianity, I wonder if it somehow serves as an edifice behind which corruption can operate, i.e. 0.98

00:51:31.000 what kind of democracy can you have in a centralised nation of 300 million people?

00:51:38.000 As we've seen in the last few election cycles in America, you've just got 50% or just under of the population agitated and infuriated.

00:51:48.000 It seems like the process of centralisation itself, which is of course entirely at odds and absolutely opposite to the power of the individual, is a big part of the problem.

00:51:59.000 I wonder if you consider, Neil, that democracy is anything but democratic.

00:52:05.000 It's a kind of I think, I say again, the powers that be have managed to generate a consensus of false belief.

00:52:20.000 We think we understand what democracy is, but it's been reduced to us believing that it's a vote, a single vote, every four or five years.

00:52:32.000 And that is actually, it's almost the antithesis of democracy.

00:52:36.000 And I say again, it comes back to acknowledging and respecting the power of the individual, the one in the face of the many.

00:52:48.000 You know, this idea that the majority has to be believed and that the majority has to get its way every time can can also be quite pernicious.

00:53:00.000 And that's why I think it is worth repeating that the idea for many people, the idea of trial by jury, it seems quite Esoteric or a side issue in a way because of the way we've been taught to think of jury trial.

00:53:16.000 The fact remains that 90 odd percent of jury trials now are by magistrates court.

00:53:22.000 They're not about trial by jury.

00:53:25.000 And even where they are, a majority verdict now is taken as being the decision of the jury.

00:53:32.000 But in its original iteration, it was always deferring to the individual.

00:53:38.000 So, as I say, one against 11 would still have been the vote that carried for that jury.

00:53:43.000 And it's because it emphasises and stresses that ultimately it's individual conscience that makes all of the difference.

00:53:51.000 I mean, when you talk about the way in which Christianity and it becoming an edifice behind which 0.75

00:53:58.000 corruption might hide. I would say that sadly for hundreds of years I think Christ's Christianity 0.82

00:54:04.000 has been negated and traduced in many ways.

00:54:10.000 I think what is often offered up as Christianity now would not really be what Jesus Christ meant when he preached, say, the Sermon on the Mount.

00:54:23.000 How much of that do we actually see around us right now?

00:54:27.000 You know, when so much of what we're hearing coming out of when people are commenting on the Middle East is about the justification for vengeance, an escalation of the violence, you know, a prioritising of one group's children over another.

00:54:43.000 You know, how much of that sits comfortably, you know, with the kind of language that's there enshrined in the Sermon on the Mount, you know, about, you know, blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy and blessed are the peacekeepers, you know, and blessed are those who stand up for righteousness for righteousness' sake.

00:55:00.000 You know, you're not really seeing a lot of that enacted around us at the moment, and it's greatly to our loss.

00:55:07.000 You know, I think a lot of people out there who are supposed faith leaders for the Christian faith, the best thing they could do would be to convert to Christianity, you know, and actually begin to think again about what Christianity actually means.

00:55:25.000 But yes, I think the most important thing I would say is that people feel powerless and understandably so.

00:55:35.000 But the way in which you can begin to turn that back or push back against that feeling of hopelessness is to respect and remember the power that each of us has as individuals and that it comes with a great deal of personal responsibility.

00:55:50.000 And as well as a lot of people maybe not wanting to contemplate the enormity of the problem that we face, you're turning their backs on it rather than confront it.

00:55:58.000 You know, I think a lot of people also prefer not to contemplate the responsibility of being, you know, grown up.

00:56:07.000 Independent individuals who take responsibility for their actions.

00:56:12.000 That's curious that you equate that to a kind of infantilisation, that an unwillingness to take that first step onto the

00:56:19.000 staircase, an inability to see the galleon of corruption on the

00:56:25.000 horizon might be because we have had our personal autonomy reduced

00:56:31.000 to the degree where we are treated like, and to a degree even feel like,

00:56:36.000 children.

00:56:37.000 The amount of parentalism that you might note in what passes as neoliberal democratic discourse these days,

00:56:44.000 I'm referring to some of the clips we watched earlier of Hillary Clinton being confronted by a protestor

00:56:49.000 who was saying, you know, you're advocating for escalating war and violence and ultimately death.

00:56:54.000 and the kind of haughty, supercilious, condemnatory tones that are deployed reveal that the role

00:57:01.000 of the populace, the populares, is now not a participant in an awakened community in

00:57:09.000 which your value as an individual and your contribution to the community and your responsibility

00:57:15.000 are all activated values.

00:57:17.000 No, far from it.

00:57:19.000 You are essentially a consumer.

00:57:21.000 I envisage sometimes, Neil, a kind of like a sort of a tube of glucose going up one nostril,

00:57:29.000 a kind of a drip filled with Pfizer's latest product going into the arm.

00:57:34.000 You know, like, what is our function?

00:57:36.000 Are we, you know, they say you are what we, you are what you eat, and we eat monocrops in mass fields, grown on mass.

00:57:44.000 We eat mass slaughtered animals.

00:57:46.000 Have we become There's a really good book that I refer to all the time.

00:57:57.000 It's Eric Hoffer's True Believer.

00:58:00.000 It was written in the 1950s.

00:58:04.000 He had a hard physical life, Eric Hoffer, before he became a writer.

00:58:08.000 He'd been around the block and he'd seen some stuff.

00:58:13.000 He pointed out that, in truth, freedom is more than a lot of people actually want.

00:58:22.000 In reality, what a lot of people want, even if the thought wouldn't necessarily crystallise as clearly, and they might not say it out loud even if it did, is that what they want is freedom from freedom.

00:58:35.000 That many, many people are happier in reality being told what to do.

00:58:41.000 You know, you talk about an infantilising and conversely there's a desire to look to a leader and to look to someone, something paternal or maternal, to take away that personal responsibility and just tell you what to do.

00:58:56.000 A lot of people, a lot of people have an instinct to be led and they really just want freedom from freedom.

00:59:04.000 You know, because freedom can be an onerous responsibility.

00:59:08.000 And yes, you know, we tell each other that we live in a materialist society or a consumerist society.

00:59:18.000 And we've also given each other, I would say, a completely false idea of what happiness is.

00:59:24.000 You know, people have increasingly been led to believe that happiness is abundance.

00:59:30.000 You know, some is good, more is better and too much is just right.

00:59:34.000 That the more stuff you can acquire, the more food you can eat, the more white goods you can have, the more mobile phones, the more cars and all of the rest of it is the route to happiness.

00:59:45.000 And that is the antithesis of happiness, really.

00:59:49.000 You know, so many people out there want medicated, they want to be given a pill to take away their dissatisfaction and they tell themselves that they're depressed and that they need all sorts of medical help because they're not happy.

01:00:05.000 And it's because we've been miseducated about what happiness actually is.

01:00:10.000 You know, and that's a really serious consideration.

01:00:13.000 You know, I would say that happiness should really be something that we notice because it stands out in comparison to the rest of the texture of daily life that comes with ups and downs and sadness and challenge and adversity and all of the rest of it.

01:00:27.000 And the moments when the sun unexpectedly or not breaks through the clouds, that's happiness.

01:00:33.000 And that's how you can appreciate being happy, but it's only one of the textures of being human and alive.

01:00:39.000 And, you know, Francis Hutcheson, the chair of moral philosophy at Glasgow University during the Scottish Enlightenment in the 1750s and 60s, and he preached that That happiness was not just some random gift from God.

01:00:52.000 It didn't fall from heaven like manna onto the fortunate.

01:00:55.000 On the contrary, it was to be worked for.

01:00:58.000 He said that by dedicating all of your strength and all of your effort to making those around you happier, That the collateral benefit that you would enjoy would be that you would experience happiness by making by working so hard to make other people happy.

01:01:13.000 And, you know, one of these students was John Witherspoon, who was invited eventually to become the second president of what is Princeton University.

01:01:21.000 It was a college then.

01:01:23.000 And he was one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence.

01:01:27.000 And there's room for the possibility that the line about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness It came from John Witherspoon's Education at the Hands of Francis Hutchison.

01:01:41.000 And once you embrace that idea, that happiness is actually to be pursued actively with every fibre of your being, in the form of working for other people's improvement, and the improvement of other people's circumstances, that that's what makes you happy.

01:02:00.000 Then that turns on its head the materialist, consumerist idea of what it is to be happy.

01:02:07.000 You know, we've been given a very one-dimensional, shallow to the point of almost being invisible and irrelevant, an idea of happiness.

01:02:19.000 You know, happiness is a product of something much richer that takes in the rest of human experience.

01:02:25.000 Neil, I love your analysis that the pursuit of happiness rather than the destination of happiness might have been the key part of that valuable enshrined idiom and part of deep American history and culture.

01:02:40.000 It's lovely to speak with you, Neil.

01:02:41.000 It's like being in a magnesium bath of wisdom.

01:02:45.000 I can only imagine how lovely it would be to actually be in a magnesium bath of wisdom with you while you espouse this gentle lilting philosophy.

01:02:54.000 Neil, it's so kind of you to have joined us today.

01:02:57.000 Thank you very much.

01:02:58.000 Those of you that are not familiar with Neil, he's on GB News.

01:03:01.000 You can find GB News content here on Rumble.

01:03:04.000 If you want to follow him on X, he's At The Coast Guy.

01:03:08.000 That's how you'll find him there.

01:03:09.000 And his new book, we'll post a link to this, Hauntings.

01:03:12.000 A book of ghosts and where I find them across 25 eerie British locations is out now and I'm going to work my way through those 25 locations.

01:03:21.000 Neil, thank you so much for joining us today.

01:03:22.000 I hope we get another opportunity to speak again soon because it's, for me, extremely soothing.

01:03:29.000 It was like Valium in a good way.

01:03:32.000 I'll see you in the magnesium bath, Russell.

01:03:34.000 That is our next stop, the magnesium bath, the two of us, because normally it's ice plunges for me, but from now on it's magnesium baths with Neil.

01:03:42.000 Thank you so much.

01:03:43.000 That was beautiful.

01:03:43.000 Thank you so much, Neil.

01:03:44.000 Thanks, mate.

01:03:45.000 Hey, on tomorrow's show, We're going to be joined by presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy for a fantastic conversation in which he reveals sort of how he's deeply feeling about this race, how it's going, about the sort of propagandist forces infiltrating the Republican system, about how campaign finances in the form of super PACs

01:04:07.000 Direct the trajectory of power.

01:04:11.000 If you want to be a member of our AwakendWonder community, you get access to early interviews like the one with Vivek and the one with Jordan Peterson that's going to take the top of your head, clean off and fill your mind with all sorts of extraordinary questions from archetypes to global symbols.

01:04:28.000 It's a brilliant conversation.

01:04:29.000 It's well worth joining locals just to get that in advance as well as being part of the Beautiful conversation with the likes of Victoria Rose and Claude and Janice Six and Miles Driver, a whole beautiful gang.

01:04:41.000 If you want to become an Awakened Wonder, if you're interested in moving from criticising the problem, attacking the establishment and its many evident and obvious flaws, to creating new communities, new systems, finding ways where people that are so opposed to one another that it might cause war can find things to agree on, find ways to love one another and unite, become an Awakened Wonder right now.

01:05:03.000 like flying Amazons. Flying Amazons, they've taken the first step on the ascendancy staircase like

01:05:09.000 Ezekiel. Angel Foot, what better description? Georgia May One, Anita B Deep, Selvagio,

01:05:15.000 they're all members of our community now. As you know, the ongoing global conflicts continue to

01:05:23.000 escalate and in particular the conflagration between Israel and Palestine is devastating,

01:05:29.000 particularly for people that are personally involved, but for all humanity. How would you

01:05:34.000 feel if you were to discover that on legacy media, you're You're being given apparently expert opinion by people who have a vested interest in increasing the sales of weapons increasingly MSNBC CNN and the like

01:05:50.000 Bring out people with strong financial ties to Raytheon, Boeing and Lockheed Martin and ask them, should we continue to have wars?

01:05:58.000 Should we continue to kill each other?

01:06:00.000 Well, it's very good for business. 0.98

01:06:02.000 Here's the news.

01:06:03.000 No, here's the effing news.

01:06:05.000 Stay free.

01:06:06.000 Here's the news. 1.00

01:06:08.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.99

01:06:10.000 The horrific and escalating conflict in the Middle East continues to claim more human lives. 0.99

01:06:17.000 So who do the legacy media turn to to get an unbiased perspective on that?

01:06:21.000 Those patriots who have undisclosed ties to the military-industrial complex who will profit from this war.

01:06:30.000 We need truth now more than ever, or at least as close as we can get to unbiased reporting.

01:06:35.000 Like right now for example, let me tell you plainly, I do not profit from Raytheon or Lockheed Martin's actions.

01:06:41.000 So when I talk about this horrific escalating conflict, the loss of human lives across the spectrum, the tragedy for people, no matter what your religious or spiritual alliances are, you know that I'm not making any money selling missiles and I think that's That gives me a degree of clarity that none of the people you're about to see that the legacy media turn to are able to offer you.

01:07:02.000 Have a look at this montage.

01:07:04.000 Each one of these apparent experts has a tie to either Raytheon or Lockheed Martin or someone else.

01:07:09.000 They don't declare that.

01:07:10.000 And when the legacy media are saying, what should we do?

01:07:12.000 And do you think the solution to this problem should involve expensive artillery and weapons?

01:07:17.000 They usually say, yeah, I think it should.

01:07:20.000 And you don't have any personal investment in that, do you?

01:07:23.000 Oh, they literally do.

01:07:25.000 Have a look.

01:07:25.000 Jeremy, I thought this might be the most significant foreign trip by U.S.

01:07:30.000 President.

01:07:31.000 I want to bring in Leon Panetta, formerly the U.S.

01:07:33.000 Secretary of Defense under President Obama.

01:07:36.000 Ambassador Dennis Ross, former special envoy to the Middle East.

01:07:39.000 Former CIA director John Brennan, you've worked in national security, you've worked in the field.

01:07:44.000 You'll notice that none of those people disclose their ties to those military industrial complex companies that take 50% of your tax dollar defense budget.

01:07:52.000 Let's get into this in a little more depth.

01:07:54.000 The world witnessed a modern high point of the American presidency when President Joe Biden visited and spoke in Israel on October 18th.

01:08:02.000 At least that was the take offered by Jeremy Bash.

01:08:05.000 National Security Analyst for the Liberal Cable News Network, MSNBC.

01:08:09.000 It was absolutely the finest hour by any president I've seen in a long, long time, Bash said Wednesday on the show Deadline White House.

01:08:18.000 Next, he suggested that Hamas may have directly targeted the Al-Ali Arab Hospital in the Gaza Strip, where an explosion killed hundreds of Palestinians last week.

01:08:28.000 I wouldn't put it past them, given what their record is and their use of human shields, he said.

01:08:32.000 As of now, experts are still trying to determine responsibility for the bombing.

01:08:37.000 You are aware that this is perhaps the most contentious conflict in the world, maybe in world history.

01:08:43.000 And uniquely at this time, it's come into a kind of conversational global crisis, where

01:08:49.000 people are unable to communicate openly without feeling the pressure to take sides.

01:08:54.000 Even making this content now, I know that some of you will want absolute support for

01:08:58.000 Israel, others will want absolute support for Palestine.

01:09:01.000 It's very difficult for us to offer you a take that's about the American military-industrial

01:09:06.000 complex profiting from this conflict, potentially escalating this conflict, not because it's

01:09:12.000 best for humanitarian reasons, patriotic reasons, reasons of alliance, the future of the Middle

01:09:16.000 East, support for Israel, the best thing to do for the people of Gaza.

01:09:20.000 No, what's possibly motivating a significant portion of the trajectory and agenda around how to handle this conflict are undisclosed ties to military-industrial complex organizations.

01:09:33.000 And if that's not part of the story, Why are each of these pundits when they're on legacy media not saying I should tell you first of all I work with Raytheon.

01:09:41.000 I should tell you first of all I work with Lockheed Martin.

01:09:44.000 This conflict is complicated enough where everyone on social media feels a pressure to say I stand with X or I am against Y and actually really the truth is we are all human beings and And if there's one thing we can extract from this, shouldn't it be anybody profiting from this situation?

01:10:03.000 A single missile being launched with the motivation being anything other than, well, this is what's best for world peace.

01:10:09.000 This is what's best for the people of either this side or that side.

01:10:13.000 It is so complicated.

01:10:15.000 And across social media spaces you will find people powerfully advocating for either side.

01:10:20.000 You will find incredible pressure, let me know if you feel it too, to find a fealty, a strong sense of alliance with this side or that side.

01:10:29.000 What we feel obliged to do, because we are really interested in finding a way out of this devastating, terrible conflict that is claiming human lives, Children being lost, devastation, murder, mayhem, whoever you are, whatever your alliance is, we feel that one thing we could do is look at people that claim to be speaking rationally when in fact they are advocating for profiteering without even disclosing it.

01:10:51.000 The legacy media should not be showcasing the voices of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin without telling you plainly that's what they're doing.

01:10:59.000 I would say more important than their opinion on how this crisis should be handled is what their relationship is with the Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, considering that these organisations spend millions lobbying and earn billions bombing.

01:11:12.000 At no point did MSNBC mention that Bash who served as chief of staff at the Central Intelligence

01:11:17.000 Agency in the Department of Defence in the Obama administration, leads a consulting firm that

01:11:22.000 has reportedly worked for defence contracting giant Raytheon, which supplies missiles for

01:11:28.000 Israel's Iron Dome defence system.

01:11:30.000 Remember, if you have a strong affiliation to Israel, if you are Israeli, if you are Jewish,

01:11:36.000 I am not saying that you don't have the right to your emotional experience right now.

01:11:41.000 Who the hell am I to comment on that?

01:11:43.000 Where I do feel qualified to pontificate is should Jeremy Bash, former CIA head, current member of consulting firm that reportedly works with Raytheon, be pretending to be, well not even neutral, Offering advocacy without declaring profiteering, which I think, if you take away your personal alliances, has informed almost every conflict in the last hundred years, and perhaps is the primary motivation for all wars.

01:12:10.000 There is enough historic complexity in that region without the intercession of profiteering, without a legacy media not declaring their true motivation, true alliances, and where they're getting their information from.

01:12:23.000 The episode is part of a broader recurring pattern in corporate TV news.

01:12:27.000 In recent weeks, MSNBC, NBC, CNN and Fox News have regularly invited on former defence officials turned industry consultants to explain the conflict between Israel and Palestine without ever mentioning to viewers that these analysts may represent clients with a financial stake in matters

01:12:44.000 being discussed.

01:12:45.000 Wouldn't you want to know if you were being offered a solution to a problem

01:12:49.000 that the person that's offering you that solution has a vested interest in a particular outcome?

01:12:54.000 If you have three Pepsis and drink one, how much more refreshed are you?

01:12:58.000 Pepsi?

01:12:59.000 Partial credit!

01:13:00.000 Doesn't it make you consider more broadly that America's role in the world is supplying weapons,

01:13:06.000 often to both sides of a conflict?

01:13:08.000 That you have people in Congress investing in weapons firms during this conflict.

01:13:13.000 The legacy media have people that work for weapons firms talking to you during the conflict.

01:13:18.000 Do you think that's helping us to get an unbiased assessment?

01:13:21.000 As we try to tiptoe through this tragedy, whose lives are being lost continually, unnecessarily, certainly it doesn't appear to be leading to a solution, one might argue, don't you want to ensure that the information you're getting is the best possible information from the best possible people?

01:13:37.000 How else are we ever going to achieve anything other than endless ongoing war?

01:13:41.000 Endless ongoing war.

01:13:41.000 Hmm.

01:13:43.000 I wonder if anyone would benefit from an endless ongoing war.

01:13:47.000 I wonder if our intensity and willingness to take sides would benefit any of these interests that sell arms all around the world, often to both sides, turn up on your TV set, Advocating for war without declaring those investments, have a congress full of people that are supposed to be representing you while investing in those weapons companies, having accepted lobbying money from those weapons companies, while they work within a party that accepts donations from those weapons companies.

01:14:16.000 Seems to me like a 360 dome that's worth interrogating.

01:14:20.000 In the days after Hamas's attack on Israel, MSNBC had for a moment quietly taken three of its Muslim broadcasters out of the anchors chair since Hamas's attack on Israel.

01:14:31.000 According to the online news outlet Semaphore.

01:14:33.000 By contrast, the network has repeatedly brought on Bash, whom Biden last year pointed to an intelligence advisory board to contextualize the ongoing war to viewers.

01:14:42.000 Here's some context.

01:14:43.000 Wars are actually quite a good thing. 1.00

01:14:45.000 What about these dead Israeli babies and these dead Palestinian babies? 0.79

01:14:49.000 That's all bad.

01:14:50.000 And you can decide which ones are worse for yourself.

01:14:52.000 But what I will tell you is, look at my stocks and shares.

01:14:56.000 Isn't that going to cheer you up?

01:14:58.000 Trying to cheer up.

01:14:58.000 I just keep looking at the dead babies.

01:15:00.000 Look at the stocks and shares. 0.92

01:15:02.000 The dead babies is a horny image.

01:15:04.000 We shouldn't have showed you those dead babies.

01:15:06.000 Is there any particular type of dead baby that would cheer you up while I focus on my stocks and shares?

01:15:11.000 I suppose I've been programmed to appreciate these dead babies more.

01:15:14.000 Well, focus on that then, because I make money either way.

01:15:18.000 Bush isn't the only defence industry consultant being invited on TV to explain the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

01:15:24.000 I mean, one's already bad, isn't it?

01:15:25.000 You want no one.

01:15:26.000 This is so difficult, isn't it?

01:15:27.000 It's so complicated.

01:15:28.000 Can we just have no one who's making any money from this involved in the reporting?

01:15:32.000 No, we're going to have several.

01:15:34.000 The networks have also been calling on some of Bashi's colleagues at the Washington DC-based consultant firm Beacon Global Strategies, where he is a managing director and partner.

01:15:43.000 On a personal note, I feel somewhat offended that the mainstream media feel entitled to conduct moral witch hunts when in their own reporting and investigating, this is how they actually behave.

01:15:54.000 While Beacon does not disclose its clients, the firm has worked with Raytheon, as well as the Israeli surveillance firm, NSO Group, according to reports from the New York Times.

01:16:03.000 We can't continue to bring you complex and hopefully enjoyable, let me know in the chat, content like this without our supporters.

01:16:11.000 And what incredible supporters we have.

01:16:13.000 We love you, and we love them.

01:16:14.000 We need all of you.

01:16:15.000 Sat123.com made this thing.

01:16:19.000 And thankfully, with this little guy, we could all stay connected together, potentially forever, because cell phones go down for hundreds of reasons, don't they?

01:16:26.000 Unreliable little things, nicking all our data.

01:16:28.000 But satellite phones will always work, because you're carrying your own personal cell tower with you everywhere you go.

01:16:33.000 I mean, look how chunky this...

01:16:34.000 So satisfying, it's like a little gorgeous baby phone.

01:16:37.000 You can prepare for the unexpected with your own personal cell tower everywhere you go.

01:16:42.000 Anyone with a satellite phone has a way to communicate with friends, family, emergency services.

01:16:46.000 There's no tracking, no one listening in on your call.

01:16:49.000 Hello?

01:16:50.000 Is that Glenn Greenwald?

01:16:51.000 Hello there?

01:16:52.000 The most secure way to communicate is from a satellite phone to another satellite phone.

01:16:56.000 The US military uses satellite phones for secured communication.

01:17:41.000 This is the call.

01:17:41.000 I'm gonna call them up.

01:17:42.000 Make this work in the UK.

01:17:44.000 Use the code BRAND50.

01:17:45.000 Okay, let's get back.

01:17:47.000 To this complex content.

01:17:48.000 On October the 12th, Fox News interviewed Beacon Managing Director and Partner Michael Allen, who served as a top National Security Council official under President George W. Bush.

01:17:58.000 CNN also interviewed Beacon Senior Counselor Leon Panetta, who served as CIA Director and Secretary of Defense under President Barack Obama.

01:18:07.000 While we are all good as tribalized creatures with a deep, long, long history, perhaps longer than we ever imagined or history reports, have lived with natural alliances with groups that we feel affiliation because our survival and their survival are completely entwined, It's clear from that little list that whether you're Republican or Democrat, pro-Bush or pro-Obama, left or right, there's a little group of intersecting, crossing over folks, making a lot of money and making a lot of noise, generally advocating for further conflict on either and both sides, porously moving between media, defense, government, corporatization, effortlessly and endlessly.

01:18:50.000 Meanwhile, down here in the dirge, We all sort of wave flags and squabble with one another about particular advocacy.

01:18:57.000 And as I have said many times, I understand that if you are personally affected by this, of course, I'm in no position to judge your alliances.

01:19:05.000 I wouldn't dream of it.

01:19:07.000 But surely we can agree that having a system where people profiteer and sit in different chairs in different hats advocating usually for more war and more expenditure isn't the best way to solve these heartbreaking global problems.

01:19:21.000 Neither Fox nor CNN noted it was interviewing executives at Beacon and chose only to identify them by their former government titles.

01:19:30.000 If your partner brought someone around there and said, oh this is my sister's friend Derek and didn't mention that they had had a long-lasting love affair with Derek, I'd say you mentioned that it was your sister's friend.

01:19:40.000 What you didn't tell me is that you had a long relationship with them.

01:19:43.000 Why was that?

01:19:44.000 Is it because you maybe thought that that would bias my impression of that person if you'd given us that one bit of information?

01:19:49.000 Yeah, I thought I would keep that back.

01:19:51.000 Let's not make this about that I went out with Derek, my sister's friend Derek.

01:19:54.000 Telling you that someone's a government official and not mentioning that they've got strong ties to Raytheon and Lockheed Martin seems like a pretty deliberate choice to me, doesn't it?

01:20:03.000 So let's follow that line.

01:20:04.000 Right, they didn't tell us that, why?

01:20:05.000 Oh, because then we'd think that the information that was given us was biased towards spending more money on, like, Raytheon products and Lockheed Martin products?

01:20:12.000 Hmm.

01:20:12.000 What does that mean more generally?

01:20:13.000 Oh, well, they benefit from war? 0.96

01:20:14.000 Right.

01:20:15.000 So in conflict situations, what type of attitude are they going to take?

01:20:18.000 Probably like a pro-war stance. 0.76

01:20:20.000 Right.

01:20:20.000 So what should we make sure we include in our analysis of the situation?

01:20:23.000 The potential that the war's not actually for the reason that they're saying it is, is probably for another reason, potentially for another reason.

01:20:29.000 And finally, what the hell are we going to do about Derek?

01:20:32.000 Forgive him?

01:20:32.000 NBC's Israel News coverage has also relied on executives at WestExec Advisors, a defense industry consulting firm that was founded by former Obama administration officials, including Antony Blinken, who now serves as Biden's Secretary of State.

01:20:47.000 Do you see a theme developing?

01:20:48.000 Do you see what's happening here?

01:20:50.000 Again, if you are connected to the loss of life in Gaza or the loss of life in Israel, you are in a tragic situation that I do not feel qualified to comment upon.

01:21:00.000 But having people moving between administrations, moving between agencies, advocating for bombing, same as the free speech argument in a way, isn't it?

01:21:07.000 Sometimes people go, do you know what we should do?

01:21:09.000 Censor people that are saying something that I disagree with.

01:21:11.000 And once in a while you think, yeah I'd love people, do you know what I'd like to see censored?

01:21:14.000 People attacking me.

01:21:16.000 I wish people would censor that.

01:21:17.000 But actually, free speech is more important to me.

01:21:20.000 Because it's a principle.

01:21:21.000 It's a principle.

01:21:22.000 The whole problem that we have in the world right now is no one's got any values, no one's got any principles, not when it comes to the top strata of governing the world.

01:21:30.000 They will mouth the words of principles and values, but meanwhile, undisclosed connections to Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.

01:21:36.000 Without transparency, without clarity, without a legacy media with values and principles, and let's face it, we don't have one, we're never going to navigate our way through this treacherous swamp.

01:21:45.000 WestExec has advised the aerospace manufacturer Boeing, which provides GPS guidance bomb kits to Israel.

01:21:51.000 According to American Prospect, WestExec has also represented the Israeli artificial intelligence company Windward, which provides surveillance on ships in real time.

01:22:00.000 On October 15th, NBC's Meet the Press invited Ambassador Dennis Ross, a former special assistant to Obama and senior advisor at WestExec, to discuss why Israel has shifted its approach to Hamas and has been preparing to launch a ground invasion in Gaza.

01:22:14.000 The news outlet did not note Ross' affiliation with WestExec.

01:22:18.000 Let's make this for a moment about the legacy media.

01:22:21.000 When they spend money and time investigating a particular phenomena or presenting a particular issue, do you follow the trajectory of where it's leading?

01:22:29.000 Could that trajectory be attack dissenting voices, close down independent media?

01:22:34.000 Because here, they've got an opportunity to do some investigating.

01:22:37.000 I don't see them doing that.

01:22:38.000 This is coming from independent media, the reporting that we're using here.

01:22:41.000 On CNN, NBC, the BBC, the New York Times, essentially what we understand as a legacy media, they're not saying, wait a minute, it seems that some of these voices that we're platforming and showcasing have a vested interest in particular outcomes that could be, I don't want to be cynical now, connected to profit, or dominion, or a unipolar strategy that would advance globalist interests.

01:23:03.000 They're not saying that, are they?

01:23:05.000 Why is that?

01:23:06.000 Well, you know the answer, of course, because they are part of that strata.

01:23:11.000 They are it.

01:23:12.000 You cannot get objectivity from people that are vested in it.

01:23:16.000 The reason they would never say, listen, sorry, before you tell us whether or not we should bomb someone or blow something up, just do you sell things that bomb people and blow people up?

01:23:23.000 Well, yes, actually I do.

01:23:25.000 The reason they can't ask that question is because their affiliation with that is total.

01:23:30.000 It's total enmeshment, total immersion.

01:23:32.000 On October the 16th, former CIA director John Brennan, a principal at WestExec, appeared on MSNBC alongside Bash, the Beacon consultant.

01:23:41.000 The interview was conducted by MSNBC host and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who previously worked as a senior advisor at WestEx and also handled crisis communications for the Israeli facial recognition company Any Vision.

01:23:55.000 Jen Psaki, Remember the number of times you saw Jen Psaki come out and say, yeah, this is what we're doing, and no, we're not able to answer that question, and this is what we believe about the pandemic, and Pfizer are doing their best, and this is what we believe, and this is our best information.

01:24:08.000 That person represents a set of interests.

01:24:10.000 You've just heard those interests listed.

01:24:12.000 Jen Psaki's on, I think, MSNBC now doing like Inside with Jen Psaki.

01:24:16.000 You better believe it's inside.

01:24:17.000 It couldn't be any deeper inside.

01:24:18.000 We have We have to debug ourselves from this system.

01:24:21.000 We have to just sort of pick it out like the bit in the Matrix where they pull that thing out the back of Neo's head.

01:24:25.000 That thing now is MSNBC, CNN, BBC.

01:24:28.000 Get that out of your mind so you can see straight that you're being told you're having an agenda amplified that is not beneficial to you, is not beneficial to anything or anyone except the system itself.

01:24:40.000 MSNBC did not mention any of these potentially relevant details.

01:24:44.000 I wonder why?

01:24:45.000 Let's revisit the package we saw at the beginning of this report, now knowing what affiliations each of these individuals have, and know how they don't mention it, and know how the legacy media, who I understand love doing big investigations, don't ask any of those questions.

01:25:01.000 Jeremy, I thought this might be the most... Jeremy?

01:25:04.000 Not just Jeremy, not your mate Jeremy from next door.

01:25:07.000 That's Jeremy Bash with links to Raytheon.

01:25:10.000 Significant foreign trip by US president in any recent moment.

01:25:15.000 What's your thought on the importance of President Biden's trip?

01:25:20.000 It's absolutely incredible that the Commander-in-Chief would travel all the way to a war zone to an ally.

01:25:25.000 Okay, I suppose what he's focusing on is the bravery of Joe Biden traveling to an area where there is conflict.

01:25:32.000 But what he's not saying is that he has ties to a consultancy firm that itself may be connected with Raytheon.

01:25:39.000 That's the number one thing I want to know about that guy right now.

01:25:43.000 I don't really care about anything else about him, do you?

01:25:45.000 Like, this is about war.

01:25:47.000 I want to bring in Leon Panetta.

01:25:49.000 Look at Anderson Cooper!

01:25:50.000 Oh, serious, serious.

01:25:51.000 I'm doing something serious from a serious place at a time of seriousness.

01:25:54.000 And now the one thing I could say that would be of some use to you, I'm not gonna say.

01:25:58.000 This person has connections to the military-industrial complex.

01:26:02.000 Formerly the U.S.

01:26:03.000 Secretary of Defense under President Obama.

01:26:05.000 Secretary Panetta, appreciate you being with us.

01:26:07.000 See Anderson Cooper introducing this dude with all of this gravitas.

01:26:11.000 It's Leon Panetta.

01:26:12.000 He worked with Barack Obama.

01:26:13.000 What a great time that was for America.

01:26:16.000 What he doesn't say is this guy works for Beacon that have ties to Boeing that make weapons.

01:26:21.000 So just hold that thought in your mind while he's talking and see if that's influencing anything he's saying.

01:26:28.000 I understand kind of Israel's reaction to this.

01:26:32.000 We had the same reaction after 9-11.

01:26:34.000 If we had our time again, and some say that we might, Nietzsche for one, would we do the exact same thing after 9-11?

01:26:42.000 Was that broadly a success?

01:26:44.000 Let me know in the chat.

01:26:46.000 We were going to go after the terrorists who were involved in 9-11, and we did.

01:26:51.000 It took a while.

01:26:52.000 Took a while, and it took a lot of money, didn't it?

01:26:54.000 It's interesting, there was a massive long war with Afghanistan, an expensive disastrous war with Iraq, actions in Yemen and Syria ongoing, all an absolute disaster. 0.71

01:27:04.000 Unless, I suppose, you looked at it from the perspective of, say, Boeing, or Raytheon, or Lockheed Martin, then that was a kind of golden age.

01:27:11.000 Welcome back, the panel is here.

01:27:12.000 NBC News Chief Washington Correspondent and Foreign Affairs Correspondent, Andrea Mitchell.

01:27:17.000 Ambassador Dennis Ross, former Special Envoy to the Middle East and an NBC News Foreign Affairs Analyst.

01:27:23.000 He's a special, he's a special envoy.

01:27:26.000 What's so special about him?

01:27:27.000 Well, one thing that's special is he's not telling you that he's a Senior Advisor at WestExec.

01:27:31.000 Is that relevant?

01:27:32.000 I don't know.

01:27:32.000 Let's see what he says and see if it's a bit West Execi.

01:27:36.000 The sheer absence of even a shred of humanity has shocked Israel and basically said we now have ISIS living next door.

01:27:43.000 Conflating those events with ISIS. 0.63

01:27:46.000 Let me say once more that the suffering of Israeli people and however they may emotionally and physically respond to that is beyond my comprehension. 0.99

01:27:53.000 But what's within my comprehension is that dude works for WestExec and he just tied this issue to ISIS, which I don't think was in order to condemn the action severely, but to facilitate potential ongoing activity that will be profitable.

01:28:08.000 Former CIA Director John Brennan, you've worked in national security, you've worked in the field.

01:28:13.000 John Brennan, you've done a lot of things.

01:28:15.000 Let me give you an exhaustive list of things that John Brennan's done.

01:28:18.000 Well, he's done this great thing, and that great thing.

01:28:20.000 He's worked in a field, apparently.

01:28:22.000 He's done a lot.

01:28:23.000 That's it!

01:28:25.000 Can't think of anything else.

01:28:26.000 I'm a journalist, after all, on MSNBC.

01:28:29.000 Nope, that's the end of my investigation.

01:28:31.000 Oh, also, are you a principal at West Exec...?

01:28:33.000 Hey, come on! 1.00

01:28:34.000 This is the news!

01:28:36.000 How did Israel's vaunted intelligence network and military and the U.S.

01:28:41.000 not see this coming?

01:28:42.000 That's a good question, Andrea, and I think there were a lot of failures that led up to this.

01:28:46.000 Clearly, the Israelis didn't have the either human or technical sources that gave them insight into this.

01:28:52.000 Oh.

01:28:53.000 Oh no, it's an advert!

01:28:55.000 It's an advert!

01:28:56.000 But we're worried about, oh my god, there's people on both sides suffering, this is terrible, this is terrible, how do we... You can see that perspective, you can see that perspective.

01:29:03.000 Well, here's another perspective from WestExec.

01:29:06.000 They should have spent more money on tech.

01:29:08.000 Oh, okay.

01:29:08.000 What would they say?

01:29:09.000 What's their defence here?

01:29:10.000 I mean, they've got incredible defence, let's face it.

01:29:11.000 But what would their defence be?

01:29:13.000 Well, of course, if you've worked in the military, of course, you're going to work at WestExec.

01:29:16.000 Of course, you're going to go on Legacy Media.

01:29:18.000 But is this the best version?

01:29:19.000 Is this it?

01:29:20.000 Should we stop trying now?

01:29:21.000 Do you want to stop trying?

01:29:22.000 Or do you think we could go, hey, declare your interests.

01:29:25.000 Stop presenting this as neutral information.

01:29:27.000 Because how are we in this incredible, complex time that seems unmanageable, so complex and tangled that you can't even talk about it without risk of hurting somebody?

01:29:38.000 How is it going to be resolved by having people that profit directly from a perpetuation of the situation being the only voices that you hear?

01:29:45.000 Because this is such a contentious subject to even discuss, let's use an example from recent memory.

01:29:50.000 During the pandemic, do you remember how many times legacy media broadcasters Got Albert Baller, CEO of Pfizer, onto the TV and said, like, so how great is the vaccine?

01:30:00.000 It's fantastic.

01:30:00.000 Yes, it's 98% effective.

01:30:02.000 But OK, that's brilliant.

01:30:03.000 And we're so glad that this effective vaccine has been born.

01:30:05.000 Hope that the one you trialed is the one we're getting, by the way.

01:30:07.000 But can you just tell us once more how you're not making any profit from this, like you said at the beginning?

01:30:12.000 Oh, actually, we're going to make record profits.

01:30:14.000 OK, I'm just going to put that on my notes as a journalist, along with some of the other information, just in case it comes relevant later.

01:30:23.000 Many of the retired military leaders employed by the networks as paid contributors have secondary affiliations that are rarely if ever mentioned, leaving viewers in the dark about whose interests they're promoting.

01:30:32.000 You can say that again.

01:30:33.000 But I won't, because, well, we believe in not wasting your time.

01:30:36.000 Unlike the legacy media.

01:30:37.000 None of the leading networks, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and MSNBC, makes a regular practice of announcing its military analysts' financial ties to the Pentagon, connections that could colour their on-air comments.

01:30:50.000 Not only colour it, absolutely define it.

01:30:52.000 Former military officials played a key role in promoting the Bush administration's policies before and after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

01:30:59.000 So this is just common practice.

01:31:01.000 This is how these matters are handled.

01:31:03.000 As documented by the New York Times in 2008, the Pentagon orchestrated the commentary of 75 former officers who served Many of the retired officers who appeared on TV worked for companies that counted on military contracts, creating a built-in conflict that news organizations didn't mention when introducing the analysts.

01:31:17.000 is to amplify and propagate the interests of the establishment.

01:31:22.000 Here you see that in real time.

01:31:24.000 Many of the retired officers who appeared on TV worked for companies that counted on military contracts,

01:31:29.000 creating a built-in conflict that news organisations didn't mention

01:31:32.000 when introducing the analysts.

01:31:34.000 Of course not.

01:31:35.000 They couldn't even investigate what's happening in front of their face.

01:31:38.000 They can't even go, what's that?

01:31:40.000 What is that?

01:31:41.000 They just accept what it is.

01:31:42.000 The larger issue is whether viewers or readers are adequately informed about where pundits are coming from on matters of life and death, said Mandy Smithberger, director of the Center for Defense Information at the Project on Government Oversight.

01:31:55.000 We ain't got time to investigate matters of life and death.

01:31:58.000 We're too busy promoting Pfizer and war.

01:32:01.000 I mean, the perfect situation for the legacy media would be one side throwing vaccines and the other one throwing bombs.

01:32:06.000 Probably the bomb side.

01:32:06.000 Who would win?

01:32:07.000 Particularly if the vaccine side start taking that stuff.

01:32:09.000 When there is so much public concern about these wars, including among veterans, it becomes that much more important for people to know what the financial connections are, she said.

01:32:18.000 News organisations should absolutely disclose this.

01:32:21.000 It could change the conversation around war, if people were aware of who was profiting from it.

01:32:25.000 That's why it's not happening.

01:32:27.000 I don't know, does it change your perspective?

01:32:28.000 Regardless if you are affiliated with a particular side in this terrible, terrible conflict, does knowing that people have an agenda beyond their declared, oh, we're doing what's right for America, our allies, or whatever the hell it is they're saying, does it help you have a better position?

01:32:44.000 It helps me, I'll tell you that, in some ways.

01:32:46.000 In other ways, it makes me so terrified about the nature of reality.

01:32:49.000 I want to go and live on an island in space.

01:32:51.000 Appearing on Fox News the week of Joe Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan was retired four-star general Jack Keane.

01:32:58.000 What neither Keane nor the host mentioned is that he is more than merely a patriotic interest in the continued occupation.

01:33:04.000 Huh.

01:33:05.000 Keane, a former board member of weapons maker General Dynamics, is chair of AM General, the company that makes Humvees.

01:33:11.000 He also sits on the boards of CYLUM Technologies Incorporated, which manufactures military chemical lights and other

01:33:17.000 technology deployed on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and the Institute for the Study of War.

01:33:22.000 A think tank that publishes defense policy proposals with the aim of developing the next generation of national

01:33:28.000 security leaders.

01:33:29.000 That think tank is only thinking thoughts that leads to profit.

01:33:32.000 What are you thinking now in the old tank?

01:33:34.000 I'm thinking we should spend some more money on this tank and have them everywhere all over the world, all the time, like in Afghanistan, in unwinnable perpetuated wars. 0.67

01:33:43.000 That is good.

01:33:44.000 That is good.

01:33:44.000 Hey, I like you.

01:33:45.000 Come on inside the tank!

01:33:47.000 And it's backed by CACI International Inc., General Dynamics and other defense contractors.

01:33:52.000 So it's not just an independent think tank thinking whatever thoughts are better for the world.

01:33:56.000 It's thinking thoughts that lead to profit for General Dynamics and CACI.

01:34:00.000 That's how it works.

01:34:01.000 Keen was just one of a parade of ex-military and ex-public officials who appeared on cable news that week.

01:34:06.000 Jim Narakis, an editor of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, or FAIR, a progressive media watchdog, said such conflicts of interest put a premium on potential atrocities over existing ones.

01:34:17.000 The imaginary future bloodshed of the Taliban has so much more emotional weight in the coverage than the actual people who have been killed by the US in the last 20 years, he said.

01:34:26.000 There's a symbiotic relationship between media outlets who need sources, the weapons industry that needs favourable news coverage, and the former military officials who need jobs, and it all works together.

01:34:37.000 It all works together incredibly well.

01:34:39.000 So well, in fact, that we, the people, have an obligation to look at this information with a degree of objectivity.

01:34:45.000 Again, I'm not talking to those of you that are emotionally affected by this terrible conflict.

01:34:51.000 To expect objectivity of you at a time like this would be absurd.

01:34:55.000 For the rest of us, though, that are taking sides due to various social, cultural, online pressures, perhaps we could incorporate into our understanding and potential biases that there There are some serious biased voices out there being presented to you as news by legacy news media that elsewhere likes to present themselves as real investigators getting to the truth, getting to the bottom of all these mysteries like it's Scooby-Doo and the guys in the back of a van.

01:35:19.000 When in fact what they are doing is amplifying the messaging of people that profit from conflict

01:35:25.000 without due regard or the necessary respect for those of you and those of us that are

01:35:30.000 being directly affected by this war.

01:35:32.000 They're losing their lives as a result of their omni-wars all over the world.

01:35:36.000 They're showing no sign of ending.

01:35:38.000 Why could that be?

01:35:40.000 Well let me put this to you, beloved awakened wonders.

01:35:43.000 Is it possible that for them, forever wars are not a crisis at all, but a business, a

01:35:48.000 very successful business?

01:35:50.000 And all the better if it generates crisis, conflict, argument, confusion, bafflement

01:35:55.000 and despair among the population who are forced to find a way to pick sides, to post the correct

01:36:01.000 post, who can't think straight even if they're not actually directly affected religiously,

01:36:05.000 ideologically or nationally by the conflict, having to show alliance and allegiance.

01:36:10.000 Meanwhile, the true power continues undeclared Unaffected, able to profit, not asked the relevant questions by a legacy media who claim authority when in my view they should have none.

01:36:23.000 But that's just what I think.

01:36:24.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the chat.
